He occupied a key position in the defense perimeter when waves of enemy troops passed through their own artillery and mortar concentrations and charged the company position. Two direct hits from an enemy emplacement demolished his bunker and wounded him. Disregarding personal safety, he moved to a shallow depression for a better firing vantage. Unable to deliver effective fire from his defilade position, he left his shelter, moved through heavy fire in full view of the enemy and, firing into  ( Wikipedia article )

Oct 10 - Prudential Bancorp Inc. (Nasdaq: PBIP), successor company to Prudential Bancorp Inc. of Pennsylvania, has completed the second-step conversion pursuant to which Prudential Bancorp-New has become the new holding company for Prudential Savings Bank.
As a result of the conversion and stock offering, Prudential Mutual Holding Company and Prudential Bancorp Inc. of Pennsylvania, the former mid-tier holding company of the bank, have ceased to exist. As part of the conversion, each of the publicly held shares of mid-tier holding company common stock has been converted into the right to receive 0.9442 shares of Prudential Bancorp-New common stock, which will no longer trade on the Nasdaq Global Market. Shares of Prudential Bancorp-New common stock will begin trading on the Nasdaq Global Market on Oct. 10, 2013, under the trading symbol "PBIP."
A total of 7,141,602 shares of Prudential Bancorp-New common stock were sold in the subscription offering at $10 per share for gross proceeds of $71.4 million. Approximately 2,403,398 additional shares of Prudential Bancorp-New common stock will be issued in exchange for shares of the mid-tier holding company common stock. Cash will be issued in lieu of fractional shares based on the offering price of $10 per share. The total shares outstanding after the stock offering and the exchange are approximately 9.55 million shares.
Stock certificates for shares purchased in the subscription offering are being mailed to subscribers. Shareholders of the mid-tier holding company holding shares in street name or in book-entry form will receive shares of Prudential Bancorp-New directly through their accounts. Shareholders holding shares in certificated form will be mailed a letter of transmittal on or about Oct. 11, 2013, and will receive their shares of Prudential Bancorp-New common stock and cash in lieu of fractional shares after returning their stock certificates and a properly completed letter of transmittal to Prudential Bancorp-New's transfer agent.
The bank's employee stock ownership plan, which was in the second priority category, did not receive any shares in the subscription offering. The ESOP expects to purchase shares in the open-market. The purchases by the ESOP, which will be up to 285,664 shares, will be made over time by the ESOP depending upon, among other things, market conditions.
Sandler O'Neill & Partners, L.P., managed the stock offering. Elias, Matz, Tiernan & Herrick L.L.P. acted as legal counsel to Prudential Bancorp-New.

Byon February 4, 2014
At a GOP lunch last week, Sen. John McCain noted that "some crazy guy from Texas" stormed out during President Barack Obama's State of the Union address. "Hey," Texas Sen. Ted Cruz chimed in, "I didn't walk out of the State of the Union."The exchange - referring to GOP Rep. Steve Stockman's heavily publicized early exit - reflects thawing tensions between Cruz and his fellow GOP senators. After battling with Senate Republicans for much of 2013, prompting tense confrontations and occasional shouting matches, Cruz is starting to achieve what once seemed unthinkable: He's getting along reasonably well with most of his GOP colleagues.
I mean, come the fk on.
Since playing a lead role in the government shutdown last fall, Cruz has joined with Republicans on fights ranging from the Internal Revenue Service's scrutiny of conservative groups to the Obamacare contraception mandate. Cruz dined with McCain at the posh Capital Grille steakhouse. He cracked jokes with Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) at last week's State of the Union. In an olive branch to his colleagues, Cruz privately assured them he wouldn't raise money for a conservative group attacking GOP senators. And he even allowed the Senate to leave early for its Martin Luther King Jr. Day recess by dropping demands for what would have been a futile attempt to gut Obamacare.
Ted Cruz -- Declines To Be Futile.
The sensible center!
And, honestly now, COME THE FK ON!
Still, it's not as though Cruz has dropped all of his divisive rhetoric. Last week, Cruz accused House and Senate GOP leaders of "aggressively" urging Republicans to cave on the budget, the farm bill, debt limit and immigration. He's trying to defeat an emerging House GOP immigration push to legalize undocumented immigrants, saying anyone who advances a bill to grant "amnesty" should "put a Harry Reid for majority leader' bumper sticker on their car." But he didn't wage campaigns to kill the budget compromise reached in December, the $1.1 trillion omnibus spending bill that continued to fund Obamacare or the farm bill destined to become law.
That Tiger Beat On The Potomac is essentially a fanzine has been beyond question for some time now. But even fanzines can have some pride. Ted Cruz remains an extremist fruitcake. That he declines now on occasion to wear a bird on his head tells us something of the nature of the Republican party, and nothing flattering at that. Period.

Hello! So this outfit was inspired by a green and cream 60's dress I bought from a yard sale with Lavendersparrow a while back. I wore this dress under a white skirt with lace trim on the bottom, and a brown sweater from Boden. I'm also wearing gold and black Morrocan shoes, and yellow tights from Savers. This dress which I'm wearing as a top in this outfit was obviously handmade and was quite a steal as it came with a classic Chanel style jacket to match. Sorry for the short post but I'll be updating soon!

text: Hi everyone, We need to finalize plans on the land trip in the next couple of days. Right now it looks like we have 5 adults and 2 children going. Gruffyd Kaz Terrence Polydore (most likely will) Sluggy (most likely will) Kaz and Antonia's 2 girls Kaz is planning on taking the motor home, but will be leaving around noon on Friday because of the kids scheduling. I was planning on loading up Friday morning in Ft. Worth, preferably at Kaz's house if that is ok with him, and figured I could be there at 9 AM, or if everyone wished we could make it later and all leave at the same time. I can take Chantel's truck if we need. I think Gruffyd volunteered his truck and trailer, but we might not need but 1 vehicle due to the number going. I have a small tent I will probably take, but temperatures might warrant a hotel stay instead. I will take an ice chest and some drinks and comfort food. I don't mind if the group would rather cook on site or restaurant for food or even a little of both. I have a 10 ft. versa ladder and a plastic wheelbarrow we can use. We probably need any other tall ladders we can get, a waterhose, some shovels and hoes for the cement, and various misc. hand tools. Kaz might fill in here for any other tools we need. Any further input from anyone? Terrence

Welcome to Austin! You will find that there is no place in the world quite like the capital city of Texas. It will not take you long to see what I mean. From country music to the symphony orchestra and barbecue to the best in fine dining , Austin has it all. It is easy to understand why the Austin, Texas real estate market continues to boom. I want to help you find the perfect home or business property so you will have more time to take in the sights and get a taste of the Austin experience.
I first began my real estate career in March of 1995 when I moved here from southeast Texas. The booming Austin, Texas real estate market drew me to work in real estate and to complete a bachelor of business administration at St. Edwards University. Having started in apartment locating, my interest soon grew towards corporate relocation, leading me to start One Source Relocation in January of 2003. Still in operation today, One Source Relocation provides professional realtor assistance in apartment locating, settling in services, area tours, and more. It is truly your 'one source relocation service.'
Responding to the needs of my clients, I later decided to expand the array of my services as an Austin REALTOR by adding home sales to the scope of the business. I wanted to give my customers more than what One Source Relocation could offer when buying a home. After interviewing several real estate companies in the area, I decided to partner with one of my colleagues, Eric Bramlett, to start One Source Realty. Now, Austin has a real estate company that will work with you from the time you start looking for a house until you are ready to move in.
Since the beginning of One Source Realty, our Team has been able to cultivate and specialize in different areas of the real estate transaction. Streamlining the services we provide has made the process more efficient, which in return saves the client time and money, thus maximizing the end goal. We know that the purchase of a home is the single largest investment that most people make. It can be a very stressful event. Everyone at One Source Realty is committed to making this process as painless as possible. From our brokers to our agents, customer service and satisfaction is our goal.

Social media is vital as a way of attracting would-be customers as well as engaging those you already have.
Speaking at the TravelMole Industry Question Time in London last night, Responsibletravel.com managing director Justin Francis said using social media to talk to potential customers means you can educate them on your product and ensure you close sales on factors other than price.
-¬---If you only compete at the booking level then you're very price competitive,-¬~ he said.
-¬---If you get them at the early stage then your people can dream about the type of holiday they will have.-¬~
Francis argued this is even more important in the case of the travel industry, which remains unique compared to others.
-¬---The consumer travels to the product rather than the other way round and that's almost why having some reference (through social media) from someone who's been there and done it is incredibly important,-¬~ he added.
Antony Martin, managing director for Rock Insurance, said social media is most effectively used to plant links across the web to drive surfers back to his own website.
He added: -¬---As a business we think social media is relevant but the relevance is quite small at the moment.-¬~
Guy Beresiner, head of partnerships for Yahoo, said as the internet has given the consumer far greater power commercially, so companies must respond.
He said: -¬---The (company's) reputation has slipped from people who own the brand into the hands of the consumer. You have to engage with them as part of the journey.-¬~
Meanwhile, the panel agreed one of the biggest difficulties in online marketing occurs when Google changes its algorithms for search engine optimisation without explaining the reasons why or what the new rules are.
Martin said such events prove why it is wrong to rely purely on search engine optimisation, adding: -¬---If you've got a business just built on SEO then the business is quite flawed in some respects; you need to have a mixture.-¬~
However, Justin Francis, Responsibletravel.com chief executive said such changes could be useful for flushing out companies from search results that have benefited from having the best SEO rather than the most relevance.
He added: -¬---It's not in the users' interest when some companies are always at the top.
-¬---The search engines are trying to improve for the best of reasons but it is difficult to know why you've done well or not done well.-¬~
Beresiner said the only reason why Google changes its algorithms is to ensure its users have the best possible experience.
While Nick Henley, media and planning director for Conrad Advertising, agreed the web offers a number of business opportunities, he urged them not to turn their back on older tried and tested forms of advertising.
He said: -¬---A lot of people are still looking at brochures, it is part of the experience and indulgence of choosing a holiday.-¬~

The Bangladeshis go for sarees most of the time in a different way; they are famous for the color of the saree they choose, red and white. The boys normally wear Panjabi, but they sometimes like wearing the normal shirts and pants too. These countries have their own beauties and have won many hearts with their excellent trends and fashions.
If you are interested in covering yourself with cloths then you can try wearing the dresses of the Muslim countries such as Dubai and other. The clothing of these countries is classic in dressing and they have a complete unique style and trend. The girls look beautiful wearing long gowns and cover their heads with hijabs. The men in this state mostly wear jubbahs with a scarf like cloth on their heads. This style of clothing is very mesmerizing and makes men look more handsome and attractive. This culture covers the beauty of your body but exposes the beauty of your soul.
China is famous for it's extremely richness and has a nifty way of dressing which captivates the eyes. The culture has outstanding dresses for both males and females of every age.

Do you want to look like those beautiful girls from the different parts of Latin America? Then you have so many options and ideas right in front of you. Try to be a little Mexican. Remember Mexican girls don't usually put on makeup, they have really fabulous skin and if you want that drink as much as water you can. And so you don't really have to worry about makeup when dressing in a Mexican style unless you're going to a huge glamorous party but yes they are very detailed about their dresses and accessories.

Mexican guys are simple and go for wearing jeans and white shirts; they are famous for the hats. And yes you can always play with colors!!
You can try the Brazilian style; you defiantly need beautiful shiny hairs for that and if you are not naturally gifted then have no worry wash your hair regularly with dark coffee. The costumes are lot like the Mexicans but you need to apply nail paints and perfumes, as these two products are the lives of Brazilian ladies. And if you have big butt and boobs, then you are perfect for this outfit, and it doesn't mean that small butts and boobs will make you unfit!! You'll look equally beautiful.
You can even try dressing up like the sexiest women of Spain. The girls here love wearing shirts and volumetric skirts. They prefer wearing fat shoes instead of high heels, but sometimes high heels makes you look a complete hot cup of coffee. They prefer wearing dark cloths like red, black or brown. Jewelry is not much famous here, but they are extremely nifty and stylish. The boys here have a very classic look with pants and shirts; they were it in a very unique manner and have a very generous style.
Girls from Italy are every cute and stylish. They wear along undergarment that covers their shoulder till the knees. The cloths are usually manufactured by cotton and other soft materials. They wear clothes that have decorative necklines and their skirts are mainly of the color black or dark purple. They love wearing pins in buns and wear semi circular gold made earrings. Boys here wear white shirts and sleeveless waistcoat, the pants are fabricated till the length of their ankle and they love wearing boots and hats.
If you want to have more fun you can try dressing up like the dancers in Rio carnivals and samba. The costumes are extremely sexy for both males and females and look hot and tempting on both!!

St Teilo's Church
January 2010
St Fagans under snow: Tomorrow's guided tours of St Teilo's Church going ahead - if the snow holds back!
The St Fagans site isn't usually this quiet: even on blustery November afternoons, determined (but soggy) visitors can be found walking the site, exploring the galleries and the historic buildings. This week, however, the only surge in visitors has been the amazing array of birds we've seen reclaiming the hedgerows and, out of necessity, brazenly venturing near the offices and mess rooms in search of food. Only last Friday I was kept company by a pair of Lapwings, who were enjoying the last of the afternoon sun outside the museum's main entrance.
The only human traffic on our pathways has been a small army of Museum Assistants, Craftspeople and Agriculturers, busy clearing snow and gritting. The textures, colours and smells of our Christmas Nights event* are now long-gone; tipp-exed out and muted. The site is eerily empty - though it is incredibly beautiful, it has not been safe enough to let visitors in on several occasions during the last week or so.
In the snow, St Teilo's Church does not look as dazzling as last year: as is the custom with traditional buildings, the bright limewash covering the outer wall has taken the brunt of the season's weather, and will be re-applied next spring when it is milder. The interior, as ever, is still as vibrant as it was when the reconstruction was officially opened in 2007, and, we hope, as it would have looked in 1500-1530.
The wall painting scheme is now finished, bar a few Latin inscriptions, which are proving harder to decipher than previously thought. The north chapel design, including figures of Saints Dewi and Teilo, as well as what is thought to be male and female portraits of local patrons, were composed by copying fragments plaster from the church in its original location. Where the plaster had deteriorated, or the pigment faded, we looked at better preserved mural sequences in Wales in order to come up with appropriate evidence for the missing parts.
While the north chapel is not directly accessible to the visiting public (partly because the east end of the church houses some of the oldest furniture in our collection), these murals are visible through the carved screens in the church. These, too, have had a new lease of life, through the work of Fleur Kelly, who has worked with our own in-house painters on several aspects of the church's painted carvings.
If the snow holds back, the advertised guided tours of the Church will go ahead tomorrow and Friday (14-15 Jan); starting at 12:00, 13:00 and 14:00. Those interested in attending are encouraged to telephone us before starting their journey, to ensure that the museum is open and accessible, on (029) 2057 3500. The church is a ten-minute walk from the main entrance on a clear day, so please bear this in mind when choosing your footwear!
Wrap up warm, and hope to see you there!
*That's treacle; fairy lights; brass bands; bay leaves; woodsmoke and wet boots, in case you were wondering...

Citigroup Earnings Tell a Solid Revenue Story
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Looking past confusing non-cash credit and debit valuation adjustments, Citigroup (C) saw its total first-quarter revenue grow 20% from the fourth quarter, and 4% year-over-year.
The shares were up 3% in early trading Monday, to $34.24.
The company's first-quarter profit was 95 cents, although operating earnings of $1.11 a share -- excluding non-cash credit valuation adjustments (CVA) and debit valuation adjustments (DVA) -- beat the consensus estimate of a dollar profit, among analysts polled by Thomson Reuters.
Meanwhile, reported revenue of $19.4 billion missed the consensus estimate of $19.81 billion, but a further look at the numbers tells a much better revenue story.Excluding CVA ad DVA for all periods, Citigroup's first-quarter revenue was $20.7 billion, increasing from $17.2 billion in the fourth quarter and $20.0 billion during the first quarter of 2011. CEO Vikram Pandit said that "Global Consumer Banking, our largest business, produced another quarter of good growth in revenues, net income and key drivers like loans and deposits. Transaction Services had record quarterly revenues as it captured increasing share in global trade finance, and Securities and Banking rebounded strongly with year-over-year revenue growth." Leaving aside Citi Holdings -- which continues to see declining revenue --since it is holds the assets that Citigroup is winding down, main subsidiary Citicorp followed the industry trend, with recovering trading revenues during the first-quarter, following a very difficult fourth quarter. The Institutional Clients Group saw total fourth-quarter revenue of $8.0 billion, compared to $5.8 billion the previous quarter, and $8.6 billion a year earlier. The group's first-quarter profit totaled $2.2 billion, increasing from $633 million in the fourth quarter, but declining from $2.5 billion in the first quarter of 2011, on lower revenue from principal transactions. For the Global Consumer Banking division, total first-quarter revenue was $10.0 billion, increasing from $9.9 billion the previous quarter, and $9.6 billion, a year earlier. The division's profit grew 27% sequentially and 14% year-over-year, to $2.2 billion, mainly because credit costs continued to decline. Retail banking revenue grew 9% sequentially and 15% year over year to $4.5 billion, "largely due to improved results in mortgages," following the industry trend, with President Obama's expanded Home Affordable Refinance Program, or HARP 2, allowing certain mortgage borrowers to refinance their entire loan balances at today's low rates, no matter how much the value of the underlying homes have dropped.

Looks can be deceptive and the latest Google Play Store app scam reveals it can be expensive too. The scam app in question is about an paid anti-virus app that reportedly did nothing at all.
Android Police reveals Virus Shield climbed up in popularity in the paid apps charts on the Play Store and slotted itself into number one position within a week. Impressive one must say and it looks like a solid app when you see the positive reviews and high ratings. So despite being priced at $3.99, it had an average rating of 4.7 stars and was downloaded more than 10,000 times.
The shocking thing about the whole episode is that it was not until a week had passed that it dawned upon users that this is a fake app. By that time most of them fell for the fake reviews and bought the app. Google has now removed the app from the store but unfortunately the damage has been done.
Once you run the app, it asks you tap once to start the anti-virus shield and that's all it ever asks. Going through the code of the app, it's clear that the only thing that the app does is the change the image. It changes from an X indicating not active, to a check mark indicating active protection. The app description claims it will prevent harmful apps from being installed, it will scans apps, settings, files, and media in real time, and protect your personal information. Oh, and it supposedly has low impact on battery life, along with "No, ZERO pesky advertisements!" But it's sole feature was to make you feel like a fool afterwards.
Luckily this app was only used for the purpose of conning people out of their money and didn't install any secondary malware to siphon off more data. So the next time you are tempted to buy that top-rated best selling app, remember to check out what it does immediately after installing it. Google Play Store allows users to claim a refund within 15 minutes of installing the app.

I have 244,000 miles on my Acura. Recently, I had a squeaking belt, I noticed a whining sound, and when I push in the clutch, sometimes the lights would dim and the car would almost stall. There is a lot of corrosion on the battery terminals. Car will not start at all. Do I have a big problem? I replaced the alternator in March of 2009.

Taking Another TripPosted by Stropp on May 2, 2013 It's been a while since I had a break, three and a half actually. So I decided to take a short drive.
Posted under General
Yeah, the whole no holiday in yonks is getting to me too, for the same reasons. Sounds like a great itinerary. Have a great holiday!
Thanks Ysharros, I'll be making every effort to enjoy myself, even if I still have to take my laptop in case of emergency.
One way that it has been explained to me is that it is important to take care of your business assets, and since you are your businesses primary asset, taking care of yourself is also very important. I'm calling this a maintenance period.

Former ConCon delegates agree: It doesn't work
By Steve Ahlquist on October 22, 2014
"The 1986 convention was hijacked from the citizens of Rhode Island. While some delegates deliberated in good faith, the outcome of the convention had been predetermined by the then-powerful House Speaker, who was in turn controlled by the same special interests that have controlled House leaders in recent history."

Conservatives and progressives both wrong on ideology of RI General Assembly
By Samuel G. Howard on May 16, 2014
I take a pretty dim view of the way most of RI's political commentators describe the situation at the General Assembly. On the left, you tend to hear the argument that conservatives within the Democrats have at least veto power over the Democratic agenda (and often it's claimed conservatives control the GA) and these conservatives […]

Trends from last 6 RI elections (Part 2, MMP RI)
By Samuel G. Howard on July 15, 2013
In 2002, the General Assembly was re-shaped as a result of constitutional amendments approved by voters in 1994. Ostensibly the amendments were passed to increase competition for seats in both chambers; yet over the past six general elections 32.02% of Senate seats have gone uncontested on average, along with 37.33% of seats in the House.

Why the budget process was different this year
By Gus Uht on July 1, 2013
Last week's budget debate in the House was inspiring, although the horse-trading and the outcome were disappointing. Normally the budget sails through the House; no one wants to risk the wrath of the House leadership by opposing it. It really takes guts to go against the grain; those doing so risk the loss of significant […]

Out-fox Fox: vote 'NO' on the House budget bill
By Gus Uht on June 25, 2013
The state budgeting process has once again turned into a farce. This has been particularly true under Speaker Fox's leadership. However, unlike previous years, the forced House rubber-stamping of the budget is in serious doubt. And that's a good thing. The 38 Studios' bond repayment debacle seems to be the catalyst for the public's and […]

House Finance okays bond payments, but maybe not
By Gus Uht on June 18, 2013
Part of the revised FY2014 budget passed by the House Finance committee last night includes the first payment ($2.5M) to cover the 38 Studios' default. This payment will not actually be made until May, 2014. However, future payments are not guaranteed, so quite possibly this might be the last payment made by Rhode Island. Perhaps […]

Last week, on June 6th, both a debate and a separate hearing were held whose sole focus was the 38 Studios' bonds' situation. (Related posts: first, second.)

Privatization of Higher Ed Violates State Constitution

Excessive administrative spending is but one of many results of nationwide privatization of […]

Is A Marriage Equality Referendum Legal, or Necessary?
By Samuel G. Howard on December 20, 2012
The word from RIPR's Ian Donnis is that Senate President Teresa Paiva-Weed expects a committee vote on same-sex marriage in the Senate Judiciary Committee. But it's never just that simple. The pressure on Senate Judiciary members will be enormous, but most of the members are reasonably solid in their positions on the issue. Mr. Donnis […]

RI – What Went Wrong: Have We Learned Lessons?
By Samuel Bell on December 1, 2012
What is so sad about the mess Rhode Island has fallen into is that it was completely avoidable. Governor Carcieri did not have to launch a jihad against public sector employment. Nor was it necessary to hand massive tax breaks to the wealthy. Had we avoided those tax breaks, we wouldn't have had to slash […]

|We are looking to lay a new main water service line from the meter in the street to the house (about 275 ft). This was completely unexpected cost on top on the ongoing remodeling. The old line was 65 yr old galvanized 2.5" pipe that was completly corroded and for watever reason under the fence that I share with my neighbor. The line broke when the fence repair guy dug in several places to repair the fence posts and now we are living with relatives waiting for the new line to be done and water to flow again.
The city guy recommended copper and the plumber is willing to do copper or plastic. The copper estimate is $10,800 for 2" line which is on top of $2500 for the trenching and refilling (This is in Northern CA). I am in sticker shock but want to make sure that we do this right with right material and right installation. I would greatly appreciate some advice from the experts here in the forum. I need to make all the decisions urgently as we need the water service to be restored so that we can move back home.
1) Are copper lines safe and long lasting? What kind of copper. My plumber said something that comes in a roll to avoid joints.
Follow-Up Postings:
|Continuous plastic that the code in your area allows.
No joints to fail, and with the typical burial depth used no real hazards to the plastic as long as the fill is appropriate (usually sand to cover the line for at least a decent cover).
|A 2" copper line seems like overkill to me, 1" plastic, PEX or similar should be cheaper. $12,000+?? I had a deep well installed with over 400ft of 1" plastic line to 3 well heads (for gardening), Total cost was $6200 (5 years ago). I'd get a another estimate, just trenching in 300' of plastic and hooking it up at both ends is a day job. 2 cents
|Cost of copper has gone up dramatically in 5 yrs. A second estimate will probably be similar. PVC is cheaper.
|thanks for the feedback. I appreciate all the education. Due to price consideration, we are leaning towards plastic. I have some more questions and hope someone can educate me.
Brickeye --> Is continuous plastic same as PVC? What is the difference between PEX, PVC and PE?
I am waiting for a couple more quotes. One of the guys is an unlicensed plumber but he has done other work for me and is reliable. Is this too complicated to risk with an unlicensed guy?
My plumber says that sand is not required. If I were to insist, how much sand is necessary? How many inches below? How much coverage above? If you don't mind, what is the purpose of sand? Is it any particular type of sand? The plumbing in the house is copper. What is the best way to connect to this from plastic?
| If code allows it, you want PE, polyethylene. Like your plumber says, only two joints. No health concerns that I am aware of, unlike PVC/CPVC.
Why 2"? Unless you live on a ranch or have large elevation changes.
PE is fairly tolerant of burial conditions,i.e. sharp rocks, jagged edges, unsupported spans. Sand just makes installation easier ( by guaranteeing cushioning) and can act as a warning for future backhoes. If you have a clean ditch and ease the first layer of fill over the line you probably don't need it. PE has a high crush rating. And you don't need sand, can be any fine gravel;around here, "screenings" are often used, basically small bits of rock.
You do need to be below frost line. I always add yellow caution tape in the fill above any line to wake up unknowing excavators.
PE fittings always have a barbed end X pipe thread, either male or female. Can be had in nylon, stainless, brass. If you have acid water, first two probably best. I would put the joint in an easily accessed location inside the house.

|Everyone seems to be struggling with the fact that they are specifying a 2" line, but in all truth, we simply do not have sufficient information to determine the actual size.
How many fixtures are in the house?
Out of curiosity I did a workup for a common house with two bathrooms, laudry, kitchen with dishwasher and only one outside hose bibb. That works out to a peak demand of 32.75gpm (code requires we size for peak demand in a residential structure).
Now I examined the friction head loss tables for P.E. pipe @ 30gpm
1.25" pipe the loss is 11.8psi/100ft (0.118/ft)
1.5" pipe the loss is 5.6psi/100ft (0.056psi/ft)
2" pipe the loss is 1.7psi/100ft (0.017psi/ft)
For the 275ft run the friction head loss would then be:
1.5" pipe= 0.056 x 275ft= 15.4psi loss
2" pipe = 0.017 x 275ft= 4.67psi
The minimum allowable static head pressure at the main water shutoff in the structure is 40psi so in order to achieve code minimum with 1.25" pipe the static head pressure at the meter would have to be 72.45psi. (code minimum + friction head loss) and this does not even consider any vertical static head losses whereas with 2" pipe the minimum static head pressure at the meter would only need to be 44.67psi, which is about typical for a municipal main.
Due to the length of the run a 2" line makes perfect sense to me and I am in full agreement with Alphonse on the choice of materials. P.E. pipe would be my first choice only I would specify that they use stainless steel clamps on all the fittings.
If you do elect to use copper I would insist that they use roll copper, which comes in 60ft rolls at 2" diameter and I would insist that all joints be brazed rather than soldered but in truth, P.E. pipe has a much longer anticipated service life than does copper.
|I called my water dept, and according to their data, the water pressure at my meter is between 50psi and 75psi. The house has 3 bathrooms and a half bath all on the first floor. There is a tankless water heater (Navien with 11gpm flow) and a water softener (Kinetico). There are 3 external hose bibs and one irrigation line. There are 3 90 degree turns in the main service line and 2 45 degree turns. One possibility we have to factor in is that we may need to install a fire sprinkler system
I am trying to figure out if the code allows PE. My plumber said that the code requirement is Schedule 80 plastic pipe. Is PE pipe schedule 80? From what I googled, schedule 80 seems to mainly address PVC/ CPVC pipes.
What should I ask for so that I get a good quality PE pipe? Pardon me if this is a dumb question, but are there reputable brands? Or are there criteria like thickness of the pipe etc? My plumber has never seen stainless steel fittings but said he will check in the plumbing store.

|I'm no plumber, don't play one on TV, and didn't stay at a Holiday Inn last night but it seems you might want to get estimates from other licensed plumbers cause it seems that your plumber isn't up on the available options for this job.
I'd think a competent, licensed plumber would know what code requirements are and what products are approved along with what sizes and terminations are technically correct based on the plumbing and fixtures in the house. You shouldn't be investigating code requirements, your plumber should know them or be looking them up. I'd also be considering the variables like "we may need to install a fire sprinkler system" in the calculations.
Lazypup mentioned "stainless steel clamps" not stainless steel fittings.
Your best option might be to send lazypup a plane ticket ;-)
|I wish I could just do that :) Lazypup --> You ion Nor Cal by any chance :)
Clearly the plumbers we have talked to so far are unwilling to exert themselves to do the necessary homework. He wants to basically do what he has done usually. But as a homeowner, I just have to hustle down and make sure it is done right. Hopefully with more details, my plumber will be incited to do a more through job. Here is what I did.. I called the water dept to send a guy out to get a more accurate psi measurement at the water meter. I called the city and spoke to the inspector who did listen to me and looked up the California code. He called me back and confirmed that PE is approved in our city!! YEAH!! I can now specify it to the plumber. The city inspector also seemed to be happy to hear 2" pipe given the length and the angles and the remodel plans. I did say that we will need to get the psi data before we size the pipe. We also will need a tracer wire or tape 18 gauge metal to be laid on top of the PE pipe.
I called a specialty plumbing store in my area where the master plumber listened to me and said that yes they can supply the stainless steel clamps and whatever fitting is required. He said that also have brass as an option. PE pipe is much more affordable than copper obviously. Depending on the psi requirement, PE pipe seems to come in different wall thicknesses (160psi?? was the one that the plumbing supply store said I should consider). The end hopefully is in sight.

|Consider this... by inserting yourself between the plumber and the code and the inspectors there is an increased possibility of error that will come back to bite you who writes the checks. It is the plumber's job to spec the job, pull the permit, do the job, and pass inspection, not your job or the voice at the plumbing supply who will bear no responsibility for incorrect advice.
If your plumber is unwilling to spec the job according to code and give you the available options then you need another plumber. It is that simple.

|When they say '50 to 75PSI' is the pressure, which side of the meter do they mean?
In my neighborhood, the street pressure is around 100-150psi at the meter. The Pressure Reducing Valve is located inside the house and lowers the pressure to '50-75PSI'. In your area, the PRV may be within the meter on the house side.
BTW: I wouldn't suggest strict 90* bends or joints. There will be a minimum radius for a bend depending on the thickness of the pipe.
- Posted by lazypup (email@example.com) on Wed, Jan 25, 12 at 16:51
|QUESTION: "When they say '50 to 75PSI' is the pressure, which side of the meter do they mean? "
ANSWER: Municipal water service pressure is created by the vertical static head pressure from the municipal water storage tanks. When the municipal supplier gives you an estimated pressure, that pressure will always be the theoretical line pressure on the street main at the point of tie in to the structure. Note that they give you both a maximum and a minimum presssure because the actual pressure will always be in flux depending upon the actual level of the water in the storage tank at any given time.
As a rule the municipal supplier will locate the tanks at points were they will provide the proper max/min pressure to the largest number of structures in the service area without the aid of Pressure Reducing Valves or Boost Pumps at the structures,however in hilly areas the actual requirement for a PRV or boost pump will be determined by the elevation of your property in relation to the average elevation of the service area.
Here is an illustration that shows how the pressures may vary within a community all fed from the same water tower.
|Residential fire sprinklers are a really good idea.
|I wanted to report back and thank all the folks here for their advice. We did end up using a 2" PE pipe. The interesting thing was that my plumber had never used it. Neither had 4 other who I got quotes from. They were willing to use PVC or PEX but other than my plumber, no one was even willing to look into PE. The city inspector had never seen it and had to check the california code book to see if it was even approved (It is). The local plumbing supply stores (big box and speciality) did not have it or have in the length that I needed (280ft). So the plumber took his van up to San Francisco to buy it. The plumbing supply store also told him that he has to use a special machine for the joints that he can rent but he had to get trained before he could do that. So my plumber did get trained, rented the machine, got the pipe. It took him a few hours to lay the pipe, wrap some 18 guage wire (CA code for non-metal service lines). He connected to an existing copper for a cottage, connected to a landscape faucet, and the main house. The cost was much more reasonable than Copper. We are in middle of a remodel, so we did not need a special permit.. just an inspection. Saga over.

|Good for you.
My friend's house has PE between his well and the house. My father and I ran PE from the house to the garden for irrigation, about 150' over 40 years ago. The only issue was when someone (ahem) ran into a standpipe with the lawnmower and broke one of the plastic barbs.
I'd like to think it would work better for an earthquake zone.
|Service lines are one of the places that the correct type of plastic is netter than any metal line, or a jointed plastic line.
Even the plastic inside water lines did not have problems with the pipes themselves, but the fittings.
The wire 'tracer' is to allow the line to be fpund by detection equipment.
Paper records have a nasty way of getting lost, so having a tracer line allows detection equipment to find the line again.
The plastic is very stable, and without any joints or seams is less likely to leak than just about anything else.
The lines are typically manufactured at nearly net shape and size from a plastic extrusion machine.
The corrosion resistance is also well above metal lines.

A Florida Marlins Blog
[powered by WordPress.]
Things got off to a rocky start but the Marlins finished with a series win over their division rivals the Nationals. I was worried that the NL East would turn into a division of haves and have nots with the Marlins being the better of the have nots. The problem's been, none of the top three teams at the top have broken away and with the Marlins two wins this weekend, they sit just 7 1/2 games back of first place. They have a long way to go, but with a good week, the Marlins may not be the sellers everyone expects them to be.
Miguel Cabrera continues to rake. He belted his nineteenth homerun in today's game and the only knock on Cabrera is that his walk rate is down a bit. Yeah, he's striking out a few more times too but he should touch 30 homeruns and with a nice run down the stretch, he could touch a 1.000 OPS for the first time.
Sergio Mitre has won his last two starts in four of his last five, he's given up three runs or less and gone at least six innings. His walk rate is sick (19 walks in 96 innings) and that makes up for the fact that hitters touch him up at a .265 clip. He's also on pace to give up less then 10 homers. It's just a shame the Marlins haven't given him more run support.
Next up is three against the defending champs, the St. Louis Cardinals. Byung-Hyun Kim gets the start in the opener and it'll be Braden Looper who the Marlins hitters have to contend with.

Huge Lake Ontario algal bloom? It's not what it appears.
Update: Alarmist tweets, blogs and news items continue to circulate online about the supposed huge bloom of blue-green algae in Lake Ontario despite attempts by our 520 blog and a few others to debunk them. But at least NASA Earth Observatory, which started the whole thing by blaming the algae for the lake's vivid hue, has changed its tune. Late Tuesday or early Wednesday, the agency rewrote the text accompanying its photograph to say it likely was, as we reported on Tuesday, a phenomenon known as a "whiting event." NASA included a brief note at the bottom of its item acknowledging the earlier version was wrong. You can still see the original version on this website. (Update posted 9/4, 10:07 am; original blog posted 9/3, 5:16 pm)
A stunning, frightening photograph of Lake Ontario is making the rounds and stirring up folks on social media.
The photograph, made by an astronaut on the International Space Station on August 24, shows what NASA seemed to imply was a bloom of harmful blue-green algae. The eastern two-thirds of the lake shows up a vivid blue-green, a color associated with the algae.
Before we go further, let's get the news out: According to one of the nation's leading experts on blue-green algae, the photograph likely does NOT depict a bloom of the algae, or at least not a significant one. Ignore the overwrought tweets.
When I first saw the photo Tuesday morning on Twitter, it did strike me because it looks not unlike satellite photographs of Lake Erie that show algal blooms. That Great Lake, shallower, warmer and more nutrient-rich than the others, has a serious, known problem with the stuff.
Blue-green algae, which is properly known as cyanobacteria, is a near-ubiquitous group of organisms that are of interest here because some forms produce toxins that can be harmful to humans, pets and wildlife. A toxin that affects the liver has been found in recent years in more than 140 lakes, ponds and bays in New York; the same hepatotoxin is present in water bodies across the country and indeed, around the world.
There are frequent problems with algal blooms in Hamilton Harbor and the Bay of Quinte on the Canadian side of Lake Ontario, and toxin has been found in some Lake Ontario embayments. But I wasn't aware that huge mid-lake blooms of blue-green algae had ever been seen on our Great Lake.
The text that accompanied the image on the NASA Earth Observatory's web page introduced the image as showing a bloom of plankton, a category that includes all sorts of algae, diatoms and bacteria. But the item goes on talk only about blue-green algae and its harmful toxin. Various online observers seized on that and wrote alarmed posts and tweets stating definitively that Lake Ontario had done an Erie — that it had been swarming with toxic organisms in late August.
Skeptical, I sent a link to the photograph to Gregory Boyer, chairman of the chemistry department at the State University College of Environmental Science and Forestry in Syracuse, director of the Great Lakes Research Consortium and an expert in cyanobacteria and their toxins.
Boyer, it turns out, was familiar with the photo and had already rendered judgment on it: It wasn't a large cyanobacteria bloom. "There is absolutely no ground truth for that imagery at this time," he's written in an email.
That statement was part of an email chain he shared with me that originated with folks at NASA, who to their credit turned to experts to interpret the startling photograph they'd come up with.
Boyer responded to that email Tuesday, saying his research group had had a vessel collecting samples in Lake Ontario until August 23, the day before the photo was made.
Here's a passage from his response (with no attempt on my part to interpret all the scientific jargon): " BBE Chlorophyll levels generally ranged from 0-5 ug/L with blue green algae accounting for small percentage of the total chlorophyll. It was mostly diatoms, and chrysophytes, dinoflagellates. No Blue Green algal blooms were observed outside of the Toronto/Hamilton Harbor region and the Bay of Quinte."
Boyer added that it was likely a "whiting event," a phenomenon in which calcium carbonate forms swirling clouds in Great Lakes waters in late summer. This can be mistaken for blue-green algal blooms in remote sensing.
Late Tuesday afternoon, a post-doctoral fellow at Cornell University, Jim Watkins, wrote in an email (that Boyer forwarded me) that he was part of a research group working on Lake Ontario earlier in August. He'd noted evidence then that a whiting event might be beginning. He also noted his group's data showed no traces of a big algal bloom.
So this may put the lie to overheated tweets, and prove anew that while a picture may be worth a thousand words, it sometimes takes a thousand words or more to explain what the picture shows.
