Marco: You know, [Cassie] is just not getting the whole superhero thing. Would Wolverine look things up in the phone book?One character tells another; this is reality, this is not a movie, or any variation thereof, most often the stock phrase "This isn't a/an X, you know"; in order to get them to divorce themselves from an unrealistic notion — only, little do they know, their whole world indeed isn't reality! This phrase is often used when defying a trope. In other words, this trope is a Lampshade Hanging affirmation of the Fourth Wall, with a subtle joke and a bit of dramatic irony rolled in. It is a message to the viewers that "Hey, this show/movie is more grounded in reality than average." This message is not always true. Sometimes it's done for reconstruction purposes where a trope is played realistically but still works in real life. It's somewhat common in sci-fi and comedy which feature wildly varying levels of realism and can be used to help the audience get a feel for what the limits are. Beyond the Impossible is when these limits are established and then deliberately broken. Contrast Not a Game, which (usually) does not invoke the Fourth Wall. May be subverted by an Aside Glance. Another possible twist is to have the characters object to an "unrealistic" idea that is in fact perfectly realistic and sensible within that fictional universe. When inverted, this is Leaning on the Fourth Wall. Closely related to Wrong Genre Savvy, although the consequences of the latter tend to be much more dire. See also Where Do You Think You Are?, Arbitrary Skepticism, You Watch Too Much X, Real World Episode, Literary Agent Hypothesis, Daydream Believer, Trapped in TV Land. Contrast with Medium Awareness and Reality Is Unrealistic. Reality Ensues is the exact opposite of this trope.
Rachel: Yeah, well, Wolverine has a big advantage over us. He's not real.

School board candidates give opposing views for district's future
October 22, 2013
Policy and training divided the two Issaquah School District school board candidates at an Oct. 17 candidate forum.
Appointed board member Allison Meryweather is attempting to win her first election for the position against Lisa Callan, who also applied for the board appointment earlier this year.
"I discovered first hand the lack of funding our state provides our schools," Meryweather said about her time on the board and volunteering in classrooms. "It's not just about funding. It's also about how we strategically invest those dollars."
Callan said she believed her leadership roles in The Boeing Co. and a long history involved in the educational system qualifies her for the board position.
October 22, 2013
Lisa Callan for school board seat
Issaquah School District voters are fortunate to have two excellent choices for school board director seat 4. Both Alison Meryweather and Lisa Callan applied for the vacancy last spring when Chad Magendanz resigned to serve in the state Legislature.
The school board members struggled with the appointment, first split evenly between the two women. Eventually, Meryweather got the appointment.
Meryweather does have more lobbying experience and her confidence and knowledge makes her a leader in that arena. But community comes first.
Complaint alleges Lisa Callan violated public disclosure laws
October 15, 2013
Issaquah School Board candidate Lisa Callan didn't follow Washington's public disclosure laws regarding her campaign's finances, a complaint filed with the state's Public Disclosure Commission alleges.
Callan, who is facing incumbent Alison Meryweather in the Nov. 5 general election, has been filing reports of cash contributions since her campaign officially began in May. However, she hadn't filed a single expense report until Oct. 10, a day after the PDC notified her through the mail of the complaint.
Janet Suppes, a budget analyst with the Bellevue School District and longtime public education advocate, filed the complaint with the PDC on Sept. 18.
Alison Meryweather, Lisa Callan vie for Issaquah School Board seat
October 1, 2013
Alison Meryweather and Lisa Callan are familiar with each other, having been finalists for the Issaquah School Board's vacant position earlier this year.
Meryweather was appointed to the Position 4 post — left open by Chad Magendanz's move to the state House of Representatives — in March. But Meryweather will have to impress voters to keep the job, and Callan will challenge her again on the Nov. 5 ballot.
The Position 4 seat covers the southeast region of the district. Although candidates run for a specific geographic seat, voters districtwide cast ballots for all Issaquah School Board members. Members are elected to four-year terms.
Survey: Students, parents have homework issues
August 27, 2013
There were some conclusive patterns that came out of monthslong research into the homework practices of Issaquah School District students.
Results of the district's homework survey were presented to the Issaquah School Board on Aug. 14. The eight-question survey was offered online in June to students, parents and teachers; it came on the heels of site-based homework meetings throughout the spring at 15 of the district's 24 schools.
August 20, 2013
Early school levy decision welcome
We appreciate early decision making by the Issaquah School Board in regard to its 2014 school levy and bond package.
The board approved its request that will go to voters in February on June 26, although exact numbers could vary slightly before being confirmed this fall, after state funding is considered.
With the citizen task force research done and needs identified, there was no reason to delay the school board vote. It's always a good thing to get the facts out there early, as voters will need the seven months lead time to get their head around the numbers.
Board gives go-ahead for Issaquah school levies
July 2, 2013
The Issaquah School Board approved a recommendation June 26 to bring three levy proposals before district voters.
The approval concluded months of planning and discussion within the district. A 45-member levy development committee did much of the work, paving the way for three separate ballot measures in February 2014.
The largest proposal in terms of money is a four-year, $193 million maintenance and operations levy. District officials and board members emphasized the M&O levy pays for current programs and staffing levels, with enrollment growth projections and inflation factored in from 2015 to 2018.
Community donates $30,000 to local schools
May 28, 2013
The Issaquah School Board approved nearly $30,000 worth of donations to the district during its May 8 regular meeting.
The bulk of the money, $19,135, came from the Issaquah Schools Foundation to support students in the district with robotics in the classroom. The foundation also donated another $5,245 to provide supplement funding for portable technology throughout the schools.
Students at Newcastle Elementary School got an extra boost from their PTSA, which donated $5,556 to offset the costs of fifth-grade environment camp.
Marnie Maraldo will seek re-election
May 14, 2013
Issaquah School Board member Marnie Maraldo has announced that she will file for re-election this spring.
Maraldo, of Newcastle, occupies the District 2 seat, representing Newcastle and the southwest portion of the school district. She was elected to the board at the end of 2009, taking over for longtime member Connie Fletcher.
The Newcastle mother of two looks forward to continuing the work of managing the district through a challenging fiscal period, if re-elected, she said in a statement.
Alison Meryweather fills school board vacancy
April 2, 2013
The search for the fifth member of the Issaquah School Board is over.
After two rounds of interviews, the board voted 3-1 March 20 to appoint Alison Meryweather to the District 4 seat left vacant Jan. 9, when Chad Magendanz resigned to serve in the state Legislature. Meryweather was sworn in at the beginning of the board's March 27 meeting.
"Alison brings passion for public education and experience in advocating for kids," board president Brian Deagle said in a statement released by the Issaquah School District. "She has volunteered countless hours for our district, and we are excited for her to extend her service to the board of directors."

handpump problems
Hi, just came across your story, good work and indeed handpump repairs are difficult.
Good news now is that we are in the process of introducing a more reliable and easy-to-maintain community handpump, the 'Afripump' in Mozambique in 2008, see for more details www.handpump.org

Last February there were major floods along the coasts of. the Zambezi River which displaced over a hundred thousand people; Oxfam launched an emergency response project to provide water and sanitation facilities to these people during the crisis. Many families were finally forced to resettle in new areas, where there are not any facilities for them. I am part of the post-emergency project, which attempts to work with these same affected people to work with them to construct proper water and sanitation facilities. My job is to drill 7 water walls, design and install a proper pump for each, form and train water committees to maintain and repair each, and then come up with a low-cost latrine design (of which villagers can complete a large part of the construction) to provide sanitation to approximately 400 families
The main reason Oxfam wanted me here so fast was to supervise the drilling component of. this project...we are entering the rainy season and this needs to be completed ASAP. This is a place with a HUGE need for water - I have never in my life seen an area where, whether you pass by the hand pump at 6 AM or 9 PM, there is a line of 15 or 20 people to get water...some women walk miles each way to fill up a 20-liter bucket and carry it back on their head to their home.
So the first big task is to accommodate a filming crew which is coming from Spain to shoot a video of. our project for a big exposition in Barcelona and also to use as a fundraising tool for Oxfam. They come to watch us repair a broken handpump, which turns out to be a much more difficult repair than we had anticipated - a tube in the well is stuck and we end tying it to the bumper of a truck to pull it out. They want to interview villagers and talk to water committee members, so we go to the small villages and the people break out their drums and other homemade instruments and start to play...they light branches on fire to rub against the skin of.
Everything here is big. Trees trunks would take 30 men to circle, giant animals, the insects are the size of rodents and they all sting or bite...it's a really wild place. Portuguese is very similar to Spanish and I am quickly picking it up.
The past week I have been sleeping in a tent in the village of Amambos, managing the drilling of the wells, which entails me yelling a lot at the incompetent drilling company while they sit in the shade and eat rice. The people in the village are great - the currently have to walk about 2 miles to get water so they are very eager to get water and help in any way that can...the people live in tiny bamboo and mud houses but give everything that they have to a visitor. The rains have started and access is difficult so we shall see if we get done before the big rains hit, and we are monitoring river levels in case there is a chance of an emergency like last year.
Christmas in Beira with some friends, and then back again Jan 2 to continue with the drilling.

Terry Pierce - Bothroyd England call-up confirms Capello's madness
Published: 16 Nov 2010 - 09:05:07
Jay Bothroyd's inclusion in the England squad achieves nothing other than handing out an international cap to someone with no future at international level.
It's not Bothroyd's fault, and he should feel hugely proud and honoured to even be considered for the England squad. But his call-up only serves to further heighten Fabio Capello's utter incompetence.
I am all for experimental squad selections and developing players on the international stage, but the experience that Bothroyd is being given should go to a striker who is young and has the potential to play well for England over the coming years - someone such as Daniel Sturridge, Danny Wellbeck or Nathan Delfouneso.
No player from outside the top-flight should be getting near Capello's squad, no matter how severe any injury crisis is, and if the Italian boss didn't feel comfortable picking a top young player to develop, Kevin Davies should have walked into the squad.
Of course, Davies hasn't got a glittering international career ahead of him, but he has tons of top-level experience and a good goal-scoring record against the best sides in the country. He's also captain of a side sitting pretty in the Premier League and enjoying their best start to the season for some time.
The last player from outside the top flight to appear for England was David Nugent, who was playing for Preston at the time. He was a good Championship striker having a great season, but he was not even close to having the ability and consistency to score regularly at the top level, and neither is Bothroyd.
I don't want to sound as if I have a downer on Bothroyd. He's a fantastic Championship striker who may well soon get the chance to prove himself in the top division.
After a rather nomadic period, he has settled in Cardiff and Dave Jones has turned him into a scoring machine. But he's approaching 30 and is being handed an experience that should only be given to those at the very top of their game, or young players who will use the experience to develop further.
England have a fantastic crop of young players coming through but they must blood them wisely. The inclusion of Jordan Henderson is a step in the right direction but any credibility that Capello may have gained by looking to the future with the Sunderland midfielder is quickly washed away by Bothroyd's selection.
Trouble in Posh Paradise?
Peterborough enjoyed a fair start to life back in League One following their relegation in the summer but over the last couple of weeks things at London Road have turned a bit sour.
Gary Johnson's side have lost six of their last nine and have the worst defensive record in the third tier. Their potent attack has previously managed to overcome their defensive deficiencies but the goals seem to have dried up slightly, resulting in their slump in form and culminating in Saturday's 5-1 home defeat to Charlton.
Money-bags Chairman Darragh MacAnthony's time-share funded bank-balance is shrinking, and his side are tumbling down the table, leaving Johnson as the recipient of the dreaded vote of confidence.

Like This Coconut Oil The Best

Posted by Reviewer1015028 on Jan 11, 2008
Purchased at iHerb
I've used other brands of organic, extra virgin coconut oil, but this brand has been my favorite for freshness and taste. The quality has been consistent with every jar. It tastes and smells delicious. We use it as a spread on toast, to cook with, to moisturize our skin, as a rub-in hair conditioner, for fungus on the toenails and behind the ears (it works better on toenail fungus than hydrogen peroxide or tea tree oil), and combine it with aloe vera gel to soothe and quickly heal minor wounds.

I've been using this product for 6 months now and i find it to be fantastic. I used deodorised coconut oil for cooking but i use this Extra Virgin in baking and i also use it on my body and as a deodorant. Not many people know that unrefined coconut oil makes a fantastic natural deodorant. Try it out :)

This coconut oil tastes great. I've tasted some funky ones in the past and will stick with Nutiva. We take it by the spoonful, cook with it, condition our hair, moisturize our skin, etc. The stuff is awesome. I don't waste money on body lotion anymore, I just use coconut oil and a little goes a really long way. Much more economic, so much more pure, and less wasteful. Who knew you didn't need all those ingredients to make your skin look healthy?!

This is the best value coconut oil I have found on iherb, and it has a nice mild taste. The containers are great, I reuse them for other things - so that is a bonus too!

Other brands like TT have a smoky smell that I don't like. This is nice to eat or use on skin as long as you don't mind the mild coconut scent.

The Tuberculosis Behavioral and Social Science Research Forum Proceedings
|Return to Behavioral Proceedings Main Menu
Executive Summary
In December 2003, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Division of Tuberculosis Elimination (DTBE) convened the TB Behavioral and Social Science Research Forum: Planting the Seeds for Future Research. The Forum's overarching goal was to identify and prioritize TB behavioral and social science research needs, which will be used to develop a research agenda for TB prevention, control, and treatment. These Forum Proceedings include summaries of presentations and discussions, as well as a synthesis of research needs and priorities identified by attendees.
Forum presentations addressed behavioral and social science research in TB, including CDC's current research activities in these disciplines. Dr. Jessica Ogden and Dr. Masae Kawamura delivered keynote addresses on the role of behavioral and social sciences in TB control, and how research can improve TB treatment and control programs. Other speakers presented specific research findings addressing cultural, social, and environmental influences on TB education and patient adherence to treatment. A panel of patients and providers described their firsthand experiences with local TB programs. In addition, a panel of scientists described strategies to disseminate and translate research findings into practice.
The Forum included breakout sessions for participants to identify needs and priorities for TB behavioral and social science research. Section III of the Forum Proceedings is a compilation of the results of the breakout sessions. The identified topics, subtopics, methodologies, and research questions have been organized using five broad levels of influence based on a socio-ecological framework. The five broad levels, along with a few examples, are listed below:
- Intrapersonal: patients' knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions (KAP); health-seeking behaviors; acceptance of and adherence to treatment; patient satisfaction; social stigma; and providers' KAP, training, and practices
- Interpersonal: communication between patients and providers; family and peer influences
- Health systems and organizations: organizational structure (including collaboration between provider communities and systems; impact of sharing patient information); service delivery; contact investigations; health communications; and special challenges of high risk settings and populations
- Community: impact of TB services on communities and patients
- Public policy: government commitment and funding; health insurance and immigration policies
Forum participants' presentations and discussions reaffirmed the ongoing need for behavioral and social science research to improve TB prevention and control. It is CDC's hope that the Forum Proceedings will be widely used to plan future behavioral and social science research and programmatic activities to enhance TB prevention and control.
The Forum Proceedings document is divided into four main sections:
Section I: Introduction and Background
- Introduction
- Background information on TB behavioral and social science research
Section II: Presentations and Panel Discussions
- Summaries of Forum presentations and panel discussions
Section III: Results of Breakout Group Sessions
- Identification of TB behavioral and social science research gaps and needs
- Outline and descriptions of major TB behavioral and social science research topics and subtopics identified at the Forum
Section IV: Appendices
- Forum agenda
- Presentation slides
- List of major TB behavioral and social science research topics, subtopics, and questions
- Participant list
- References

This research work was carried out to investigate the proximate and mineral composition of some traditional vegetables in Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. These vegetables include: Talinum triangulare, Hensia crinita, Cucurbita maxima and Lasianthera africana. The vegetables were washed in potable water to remove unwanted matters and were analyzed for proximate and mineral content. All analyses were carried out in three replicates and the mean data were presented on tables using the spread sheet Microsoft Excel. Talinum triangulare had the highest protein content (56.72%) and moisture content (80.11%) but had the lowest content of ash (6.31%), crude fibre (2.96%) and carbohydrate (6.91%). Ash and crude fibre were present in low quantities in Talinum triangulare, Hensia crinita, and Lasianthera africana, except Cucurbita maxima which had the highest composition of ash (14.06%) and crude fibre (9.37%).

This paper assesses the net welfare associated with the adoption of Bench Terraces (BT), Contour Bunds (CB), and Napier Grass Strips (NGS) in the Saba Saba sub-catchment of the Upper Tana catchment in Kenya. An agro-economic survey and informal interviews were conducted in the Saba Saba sub-catchment to elicit farm level quantitative data for the Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA). Financial functions in excel were used to analyze the on-site costs and benefits of adopting the identified SWC technologies on farms with crops such as maize, coffee, and tea. In this research CBA was used as a decision tool after the computation of all cost and benefits were valued in local currency to obtain the Net Present Value (NPV) or net welfare. The results show that investment in SWC measures may not be a feasible short-term option from farmers' perspective. There is, therefore, a strong case for intervention, especially in the initial years where SWC adoption yields negative returns.

Technology has put the business in the digital age. The consumption of digital contents across globe is increasing on a daily basis. Digital marketing has become a vital part of today's business, and companies have started recognizing its importance.
To define digital marketing in simple terms, it is the promotion of brands, products or services of a company with the help of digital media. What makes digital marketing different from traditional marketing is that it involves use of channels or methods that enables a business or organization to analyze marketing campaigns and understand what is working and what is not, on a real time basis. The channels which is more closely associated with digital marketing is internet, others include wireless text messaging, mobile apps, digital television, radio channels etc.
Why Digital Marketing Is Important?
Digital marketing is important not only because of its rapid growth, but also because it is essentially the future of marketing. All the traditional marketing methods will soon disappear; digital marketing will replace them all together. Digital media is so persuasive that consumers can have access to information any time and place they want it.
Some advantages of digital marketing over traditional marketing are:
- Digital marketing is more affordable compared to the traditional marketing strategies. An e-mail or social media campaign can transmit same message for less money than a TV-ad or newspaper advertisement. Also social media campaigns can reach a wider audience anywhere in the world.
- Easier to track the results. Digital marketing helps to track the result of a campaign on a real time basis, which helps to plan the strategies more effectively and make changes instantly.
- The number of consumers. Traditional marketing has lost a huge amount of consumers. Even people have started to access their newspaper through i-pads or tablets. A recent study of UK National Statics shows that more than 82% of UK adults went online in the first three months of 2011.
Digital Marketing – Encouraging Facts and Figures
The Global Digital Statistics provides the following facts which encourage digital marketing:
• 2.5 Billion People are online.
• 1.8 Billions are on social networks.
• Top social networks have added 135 million more users in 2013.
• Facebook now has 1.184 Billion Users
• There are 6.5 Billion mobile subscriptions globally.
• Around 40% of the world population has an internet connection today. In 1995, it was less than 1%. The number of internet users has increased tenfold from 1999 to 2013. The first billion was reached in 2005, the second billion in 2010. The third billion will be reached by the end of 2014.
Future Trends to watch
■-Email with social sharing will boost click-through rates more than 150 percent.
■ Social media marketing budgets will double over the next five years.
■ Pay Per Click budgets will increase more than 70 percent.
■ More than 70 percent of press releases will include images.
The following graph shows the number of internet users across the globe in the last quarter of 2013.
(Figures are in millions)
The above figure shows that Asia and Europe stands top in the list and others are on an upcoming stage. Undoubtedly the users are increasing day by day which increases the scope of digital marketing every day.
As traditional marketing strategies are going nowhere, the scope of digital marketing is increasing regularly. It is expected that in 2014 visually attractive content, contests, facts and figures are going to be on the rise. In the recent times, all the major MNC's like Infosys, TCS, IBM, Jellyfish etc are hiring digital marketing specialists to boost their marketing strategies. It is now clear that the digital age has arrived and it's time for those who have not yet adapted to the new way of marketing, to open themselves to the new way of interaction.

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
The Monster in ear Beats by Dr Dre are fairly new headphones created by the well known rapper Dr Dre. They are sold everywhere, but mostly online and I am a proud owner of these headphones. Everywhere I look I see people on the streets and on the TV with beats, so I wanted to see if they were good headphones. When I tried on the over the ear beats at Best Buy I was shocked how great they sounded. They sounded just like the Bose ones to me, and I thought they were a lot nicer. I would have liked to purchase the over the ear, but they are very expensive, so I bought the in ear and they sounded just as great. Again I was shocked and amazed. Also, I would recommend buying the headphones at a store, because sometimes they might give you some extra accessories for free. These headphones are very comfortable and stylish. They have interchangeable ear pieces for everyone's ear and they have a button to talk on the phone with. Obviously being the controlTalk. The wire for the headphones is very long and very strong. I don't see them breaking in a while, unlike other headphones I have purchased. The iBeats come in 4 nice colors also. Finally, when I show people my headphones, the first thing they say is how nice they are, then when they listen to music with them, everyone then asked how much they cost because they are great.

Originally written on Redlegs Review | Last updated 11/15/14
Now we know who the Reds will call up to fill out the expanded September rosters. As of now there will be seven players who will get the call. Some of them are familiar names to Cincinnati fans, while others will be making their debuts for the Redlegs. The Big "O" Logan Ondrusek will be coming back on September 1. You'll remember he was unlucky and got optioned to Louisville when Devin Mesoraco got suspended. Joining Ondrusek on the 1st will be infielder Henry Rodriguez, shortstop Didi Gregorius, and outfielder Denis Phipps. The afformentioned Mesoraco will rejoin the team on Sunday. Right-handed pitchers Todd Redmond and Pedro Villarreal will come to Cincinnati on Tuesday. Most notably, you see that Billy Hamilton is not mentioned among the names who will be called up in September. Collective sad face across Cincinnati, right? At least Joey Votto will be back soon. As of now it seems like he will be activated on Monday whe...

'Blind Side' actor kicked off flight to Rochester
Philadelphia -- Actor Quinton Aaron, best known for his leading role in the movie "The Blind Side" was reportedly kicked off of a flight to Rochester for being too fat.
The 29-year-old - who stands at 6'8'' tall and weighs 550 pounds - usually requires two seats, but there wasn't another one available on his connecting flight.
He had to take a later flight instead.
He said he was embarrassed by the incident, but instead of getting upset, he's using the experience to speed up his plans to lose weight.

Summer Reflection Series: Erica Stonehill
October 8, 2014
3 Lessons, 2 Jobs, 1 Summer: Where PR, Panera, and Aeropostale overlap
By: Erica Stonehill @estonehill13
This summer I took on the exhausting task of working two jobs. I've been a tried and true Panera Bread employee for going on three years, and recently landed a position at the local Aeropostale. After learning more about public relations in the past year, I've noticed on more than one occasion how my current jobs intermix with my future career.
- The customer is always right – As frustrating as it may be sometimes, you are employed to make others happy. That is your job. If a customer requests no broccoli in her broccoli cheddar soup, you will stand there and fish every green tree out of her bowl because you are paid to please.
Very rarely does a customer/client leave unsatisfied and only think poorly of the one person they dealt with – the blame falls back on the entire company. Sally Smith didn't give me loads of broccoli in my soup, Panera Bread did. You are the face of an entire company, and your mistakes become everyone's mistakes. Please the client at all costs, because one bad review can outshine ten outstanding ones.
- You will never know it all – My first few shifts at Aeropostale were nerve racking. I was so used to being a veteran at Panera that it was terrifying to be the new kid again. Retail and fast food are two totally different ball games, and I realized that immediately. I had to adapt to the different environment quickly and understand both types of customers that I was working for.
When working in the food industry you're expected to greet the customer and be friendly, but quick. Get them their food and move on. Retail requires a conversation, the building of trust and ability to relate to the customer. The same goes for PR. Some clients will want to build a relationship with you and others will want the job done quickly and clean. You have to be able to adapt and read your client. Everyone is different, and it's your job to please them all.
- Loyalty goes a long way – I've had the pleasure of gaining "regulars" at Panera, this summer. I opened almost five days a week, and as a result, I see a lot of the same customers on a weekly (or daily) basis. One particular lady came in every morning, and instead of bringing her Panera card, has me look it up by her phone number. After a few visits I had her number memorized, and now when she comes in, she knows I already have her squared away. Last week I forgot her coffee when she came through the drive thru, but because I had built a sense of loyalty with her she was understanding and didn't get upset when she had to come back for it.
Treat each client as an individual rather than a task, and they will notice. In the event that you do make a mistake, they're more likely to understand and excuse it. There are plenty of other companies they could go to. Remind them every day why yours is the better choice and it will not only keep your relationship strong, but it will bring in new clients as well.
Even though I didn't have an internship this summer like many of my fellow classmates, I still tried to gain knowledge and experiences from my two jobs. I was surprised by how much they connected back to public relations. Doing whatever to please the client, giving yourself room to grow in everything you do, and building loyalty with your clients are three important parts of PR, as well as retail or fast food. My summer wasn't all glitz and glamour in a big city, but I learned a few things that I will be able to use in the future.

Bureau Information
Home > Fire Sprinklers > Policies > Dry Pipe
Dry Pipe Policy
"Dry pipe" in this policy also includes all types of preaction systems
(This policy does not apply to deluge systems)
Dry pipe failures have a variety of causes. This policy is meant to address the most blatant causes in a manner that offers options to those who bid, design, and install dry pipe systems and it is meant to provide clarity in these options so as to establish an even bidding field so that the life of dry pipe systems may be extended.
Nothing in this policy is intended to prevent the use of systems, methods, or devices of equivalent or superior quality, strength, fire resistance, effectiveness, durability, and safety over those prescribed by this policy.
For background, the predominant cause of internal dry pipe disintegration in Maine appears to be from the process of rusting. In order for this process to occur there must be the presence of a ferrous metal, moisture, and oxygen. Plastic pipe materials are not listed for dry pipe systems and copper is not practical. Stainless steel to be effective needs to be the "316 grade", not the "305 grade", and is exorbitantly expensive. That pretty much leaves black steel or galvanized steel pipe for the dry pipe options, both of which contain ferrous material. It is therefore important in safeguarding these systems to minimize the internal moisture and/or the oxygen.
Rule #1. (Avoid Dry Pipe) As a guideline, don't use a dry pipe system if the space can be readily heated without creating a hardship, or if the space can be designed to meet a fire sprinkler exception for the space, or if an antifreeze system can be used. (Antifreeze systems are not practical for large-volume systems due to maintenance problems and high costs. There are also other challenges associated with antifreeze. See our "Antifreeze Policy" for those details.)
Rule #2. (Limit Dry Pipe) When using a dry system, limit the system to the unheated area, (see NFPA 13, 2010 edition, section A.7.2). For example, when doing the attic space, don't use this to feed the top heated floor unless using dry pendents, (section 7.2.2). Provide coverage for that top heated floor from a wet system. Exceptions may be granted from our office to extend the dry pipe system coverage to heated areas when those portions are very minimal.
Rule #3. (Loops) Loops will only be allowed in dry pipe systems when there is proper pitch for all of the pipe in the loop or unless a nitrogen-generation system is used, or unless it can be clearly documented that the building life is to not exceed 5 years, or if conversion to a wet system is scheduled to be done in less than 5 years.
Rule #4. (Pipe Type) Galvanized pipe is discouraged because it has been shown that it tends to fail faster than black steel. This is because the internal oxygen within a black steel system is spread over a large area, whereas in galvanized pipe, there is plenty of oxygen for the few cracks/chips in the internal galvanization that are created in the fabrication process. Pin-hole leaks often occur within just a few years in galvanized pipe. Galvanized pipe is allowed when nitrogen is used instead of air, or when it can be clearly documented that the life span of the building will not exceed 5 years, or if conversion to a wet system is scheduled to be done in less than 5 years. Special consideration will be given for galvanized pipe without nitrogen when the pipe is hot-dipped galvanized after fabrication. (It is interesting that the testing shows that galvanized pipe with nitrogen will typically outlast black steel pipe with nitrogen by about 20 extra years.)
Rule #5. (Steel Pipe Wall Thickness) Pipe thinner than schedule 40 may be used however schedule 40 pipe (or greater) is suggested on both mains & branch lines unless the pitch is excessive, (more than 1/2" per 10 feet), nitrogen is used, or when it can be clearly documented that the building life span is to not exceed 5 years, or if conversion to a wet system is scheduled to be done in less than 5 years. This is not meant to limit new & improved technology pipe with prior approval from our office. Note also that good industry practice avoids having the pipe seam at the bottom since this seam is more susceptible to corrosion because the bottom of the pipe is where moisture tends to collect. This rule does not require anything different from NFPA 13, (which is a minimum standard as stated in section 1.1.1), but provides a "best-industry-practice recommendation".
Rule #6. (Joint Types) Roll-grooved joints are allowed, however it should be noted that threaded or cut-grooved joints are also allowed and that they minimally trap water. When roll-grooved joints are used then it is suggested to use nitrogen to help minimize rust that occurs with the presence of trapped water at the joints. It is recognized that cut-grooving is largely a thing of the past due to the extreme expense in equipment and labor plus having field installation limitations, and that these three limiting factors often apply to large threaded pipe as well. Nitrogen systems are the preference but the initial extra cost of the nitrogen setup can deter some clients from using this option. Note however that if the system is very tight and bottled nitrogen is used, then an air compressor isn't needed, which is a cost savings that may balance the cost of using nitrogen.
Rule #7. (Seals) Whenever grooved joints are used, the seals must be flush seals or tri-seals. The seals must be listed/approved for use in dry pipe systems. The old "C-shaped" seals will not be allowed since they trap water.
Rule #8. (Pitch) Pitch is to be at least ½" per 10'or better for mains as well as branch lines for non-refrigerated spaces whenever this can be achieved. This is the minimum NFPA 13 standard for refrigerated spaces. Only where this cannot be achieved, either physically or by violating other requirements such as required proximities to ceilings, then the mains can be no less than ¼" per 10' but branch lines must still be at least ½' per 10' to be in compliance with NFPA 13 . When the minimum pitch requirements of NFPA 13 cannot be met, then nitrogen must be used, and extra low-point drains may be needed for questionable areas susceptible to trapping water. Exaggerate the pitch during installation wherever possible.
Rule #9. (Drains) Low-point drains must be installed for every area susceptible to trapping water. This must be done according to section 188.8.131.52.3 of the 2010 edition of NFPA 13. Note that these drains must be readily accessible and that there must be a sign at the dry pipe valve that indicates the number and location of every low-point drain so that the system can be serviced properly. The total number of low-point drains with their locations must also be indicated on plans submitted for a fire sprinkler permit. Specify the type of low-point drain in each case, since 2-valve drains are required when the trapped water could exceed 5-gallons. As-built info is required to be submitted to this office when this changes in order to update the job file for future reference. There will be no fees for submitting the as-built info.
Rule #10. (Heads) Upright heads should be used where possible. Pendent heads must be dry-pendents, not regular pendents for areas subject to freezing. Return bends are not recommended, but they are allowed by NFPA 13 for heated areas. Return bends in heated areas are more acceptable when it can be clearly documented that the building life is to not exceed 5 years or if nitrogen is used or if conversion to a wet system is scheduled to be done in less than 5 years or if heads in this area are scheduled to be eliminated in less than 5 years, (such as a ceiling change that would switch the pendents to uprights). Horizontal sidewalls must be dry horizontal sidewalls unless fed from below with vertical pipe, or otherwise are installed in a manner so as to not trap water or when they have low-point drains where they do trap water. Return bends can be used when the return bend and the head are both in a heated area. (NFPA 13, section 18.104.22.168 (3) already specifies that they are limited to heated areas, but it is noted here as an important point).
Rule #11. (Nitrogen) There are two basic options for nitrogen. One is to use bottled pressurized nitrogen. These tanks are typically leased, serviced, & refilled for a very minimal expense. The other is to use an air compressor with an oxygen-nitrogen separator with reserve tank(s) and auto-purge, (and preferably with a leak detection system). The latter type of nitrogen systems may be phased in, which is more practical when the dry system is more than 750 gallons since the air compressor is a separate unit on the larger systems. For example, phase 1 may include the dehydrating compressor with the after-cooler & filters, and then phase 2 may include the nitrogen generator, storage tank, & auto purge. The acceptable time span between phases will be standardly about a year from the end of phase 1 to the beginning of phase 2, but may be longer if warranted. Systems of this type are so effective that even with schedule 10 pipe, roll-groove joints, and the minimal pitches given in NFPA 13 they last for about 48 years according to test data. Nitrogen systems may do a full-flow trip test once every 5 years rather than once every 3 years, based on NFPA 25, 2011 edition, section 4.6 when it is documented that the system has otherwise been inspected, tested and maintained according to the prescriptive requirements of the currently adopted edition of NFPA 25.
Rule #12. (Acceptance Testing) NFPA 13 requires that all dry pipe systems be initially tested with water to check for leaks, (section 24.2 in the 2010 edition). When cold weather does not permit this, then it allows testing with air until warm weather permits the testing with water. The testing with air does not negate the requirement to test with water. The testing with water is mandatory by all installers and must be completed before the permit can be signed off by the licensed Responsible Managing Supervisor. All leaks must be repaired. This is imperative because a leaky system will cause the air compressor to come on more frequently to maintain pressure, which will pump warm air into the system from which moisture will condense, thereby creating an enhanced environment for internal corrosion.
Rule #13. (Plans) Submittals for fire sprinkler permits must indicate all items above that apply. This info must be summarized on the plans. Dry pipe systems will be scrutinized in the plan review for compliance to this policy before a permit will be issued. Missing information will hold up the processing of issuing the fire sprinkler permit. Field inspections by our office will prioritize the inspection of dry pipe systems for compliance to this policy.
Rule #14. (Start of Policy) This policy will go into effect Monday, November 12, 2012, (The first business day after 30 calendar days after posting onto our web page and notification by email to the licensed fire sprinkler industry. It will not apply to jobs that were bid previous to the issuance of this policy. We will fine-tune this policy as new technology and information becomes available. Any change will be accompanied by an update to our web site and by email notification to the licensed fire sprinkler industry.
