I'm installing a 30000 btu propane heater in an out-building workshop. The building is insulated 24 x 34 x 12 with a sealed ceiling, but I haven't blown insulation above the ceiling yet. I plan on having a local gas service drop off a 100 lb tank. It'll be installed outside the building and secured in place.
Is there a plumbing code book similar to the "Wiring Simplied" version of the NEC? I've been searching for a book that will give me an idea of the basic coding & placement of piping, materials to use...etc.. The piping or tubing run will be about 12-13 feet, pretty simple install, but I haven't done much plumbing like this. I have done plenty of electrical work & a fair bit of carpentry. I just need some guidance with respect to codes as I'd like to do it right.
Follow-Up Postings:
The norm in my area is soft copper from the tanks, black iron through the structure of the wall of the building it serves and from there black iron to the heater. "Some" will use CSST or Gas-Tite flexible gas lines but I'm not too crazy about it. It works but I like black iron; it will be there if the building burns down. A safer piping system indeed. The very reason you see it in 100 year old buildings without failure. |

The last home I owned we had propane. The propane company would run the piping for cost of materials. (Outside Findlay,Ohio and the company was Hancock Gas) They used soft copper rated for propane from the tank to the house. Put a second regulator on the outside of the house and ran black iron pipe to the water heater and the furnace. When I had a stove put in they ran soft copper to the stove,terminated below the floor into black iron and stubbed it to the stove. IfI was you in a garage run all black iron pipe from outside to the heater. Whatever you do, before using the heater, have the propane company do a leak test on the lines before firing anything up If memory serves me the propane guy had a leak and traced it to a fitting with a pinhole in it.You have to remember propane is heavier than air. It will pool at the lowest point. I believe any responsible propane company will do the leak test for free. When I was living in my old house, a house about 3 miles from me blew up because the owners had a leak in the crawlspace and the crawlspace filled up with propane and blew the house up when it reached the pilot light on the water heater. Come to find out the owners did the install themselves and did not get it leak tested. |

around here a propane company is REQUIRED to sign off on all line the tank is connected to at time of install. if it is new line, they will not do so without verification that a licensed plumber installed the lines. if it is old lines, they will run a pressure test and sign off quickly. when we had our tank put in, the gas guy ran soft copper to the outside fo the house, then a black iron stub thru the wall. the cut off valve was installed on the stub, and the dryer hooked up there since it came thru right behind the dryer. |

I don't have propane, but our house is supplied with natural gas. 10 year old construction, and the only place there was any black iron was inside the fireplace (from the shutoff to inside the fireplace.) Soft copper was used from the meter, inside a PVC sleave through the wall, and to the manifold. Soft copper was used again from the manifold to the furnace, hot water heater, and fire place. |

PATNA: Even as many BJP leaders, including ministers, rushed to Ahmedabad to show up at Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi's high-profile three-day fast, the BJP's major ally, the JD(U), preferred to keep distance from the person it loves to hate.
"It is not necessary for all NDA allies to show their presence there," said state JD(U) president Vashisht Narayan Singh. "We are not interested in this fast. This is his decision and he has a right to do this, but we are not concerned about it," he told TOI on Sunday while clarifying the party's stand vis-a-vis Modi's 'Sadbhavna upvas'.
Asked about speculations that Modi's bid was possibly to refurbish his image, keeping in mind his prime ministerial ambitions, Singh said, "I am not aware that NDA has proposed any prime ministerial candidate so far. We have not made any claim, but if anybody is doing so how can we stop him."
Chief minister Nitish Kumar is maintaining silence over the raging issue. When reporters, on Sunday, approached him for his reaction on Modi's fast, he simply folded his hands and walked away with a smile.
Senior JD (U) leader and water resources department minister Vijay Kumar Chaudhary said, "It (Modi's fast) is irrelevant to us. This could be a matter concerning Modi."
On projection of Modi as PM, Chaudhary said this was not the right time to react to such speculations. "After all, this speculation has been made by a foreign agency in its study, but neither the NDA nor the BJP has pondered over the issue," he said and added that let the BJP decide who could be projected as the PM candidate and then we will make our stand clear.
"Our stand on Modi is very clear," said Neeraj Kumar, JD (U)'s whip in the legislative council. He said the JD(U)'s alliance with the BJP was limited only to Bihar and Jharkhand. Referring to Modi's fast, he said, "What is important is public perception. Even if anybody is exonerated by the court for his crime, it will hardly change the public perception about him."
"People know we have nothing to do with the BJP in Gujarat; so, we have nothing to do with Modi's fast," Kumar said. JD(U) spokesman Sanjay Singh said that his party treated the BJP as a rival in Gujarat, hence it was better to keep distance from the internal matters of that party. "It is not necessary for the JD(U) to show its presence there," he said.

Marvel and Joss Whedon Make It Official; Filmmaker Signs Exclusive Deal With Studio
In Development By Kate Erbland on August 8, 2012 | (2) CommentsComing off yesterday's announcement that Marvel has tapped Joss Whedon to return to their Avengers cash cow for another round of writing and directing on the currently-simply-titled The Avengers 2 comes further clarification on Whedon's role in the Marvel universe. In short, it's a big one.
The LA Times reports that, in addition to yesterday's report that Whedon was set to get back into the Avengers world while also helping to develop Marvel's live-action series for ABC, the filmmaker has also "signed an exclusive deal with Marvel Studios for film and television through the end of June 2015." Beyond just his work on the Avengers sequel and his development of the new TV series, Whedon will also "contribute creatively to the next phase of Marvel's cinematic universe," so expect the next round of Marvel's films to have some Whedonesque fingerprints all over them (a good thing no matter how you slice it).

i love it! smell very nice and doesn't irritate my nose. but i hate the price! too expensive and it is gone so quickly. i have black hair so i really have to comb it thoroughly to get the powder off as much as possible. if i have curly hair that won't be good. i might buy it again but will also look for cheaper alternative.
I've used this product for around 3-4 years now and swear by it. even more so now because recently Rene Furterer changed the scent of their dry shampoo so it's not so potent.
if you cleanse your hair often this is still an absolute must have. I prefer to use it as a styling aid as opposed to a "dry shampoo". it's gives my long, heavy hair just the right amount of volume.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I'm pretty "meh" on this product. I went through a phase of trying a bunch of different dry shampoos, and this one was the least offensive in terms of fragrance (it has a mild, powdered rose scent that isn't overwhelming), but it lacked the level of absorption of Tresemme's Fresh Start dry shampoo. If your hair doesn't get too oily in between shampoos, this might work well for you. However, if you've got an oily scalp, I suggest going with Tresemme, which is about 1/2 the cost of Rene Furterer as well.
This is my absolute go to fave. Hate the price. $28 a bottle makes me weep. Just found a cheaper alternative today. Batiste. If you love RF dry shampoo (and how can you not?) It is worth a try. BTW, have also tried many versions of other dry shampoos, so fancy myself a bit of an expert.

This is only the third dry shampoo I have ever used, and it is by far the best! After using this, my hair doesn't have that awful powdery dull cast to it, it just looks normal. It makes my hair fuller, and absorbs the oil really well. My hair gets greasy within 12 hours of washing it, and within 24 hours my hair is lank, dirty looking and flat. I don't generally go a day without washing (because it looks so bad), but sometimes it's unavoidable. This dry shampoo not only absorbed the oil from my nasty-looking hair, but it made it look really clean and bouncy again. I was thrilled with the result! I will buy again, but I do think this is overpriced. continued >>
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is a very overpriced, normal dry shampoo. It doesn´t feel any different to cheaper options on the market, and though I didn´t experience such an extreme case of the product vanishing from the can like previous reviewers, I have to admit that especially when the can empties slowly, it always seems to contain a little less product after a few days just standing on the shelf. Maybe the stuff evaporates somehow, I don´t know. But I´ll definitely not buy again, because it is way overpriced.
LOVE this dry shampoo. it's the only one that doesnt make my scalp itch for days. it doesnt leave that white/grey cast that most do. it would be HG if it was cheaper and i get more out of each bottle. ill continue to buy because it doesnt dry out my hair or scalp. worth it i guess.
I have purchased this product several times. At the last purchase, I used the can three times. Then all of a sudden the product was gone. Completely, nothing left. I returned to Sephora and they sent me a new one (amazing customer service btw). However, this morning I went to use the can again (similarly after a few uses) and it is gone. Absolutely not a drop left. +25 dollars for 3 uses...no thank you. I don't know if its the aerosol or what but something is strange about this product. After the last use it was certainly full, but it has now evaporated. Not worth it.

More reviews by captainvegetable02
This product does work well as far as refreshing my hair so I can go an extra day in between shampoos, and doesn't leave too much powdery residue after brushing it out. However, I've used 2 cans of this and I'm lucky if I get 4-5 uses from each can. WAY too expensive for a product that only lasts a week or two...$48 a month or more on this stuff is INSANE. Thought it was a fluke with the first can but after I went through the 2nd one just as quickly I'm assuming this is normal (and I don't use an excessive amount). Also, I noticed with both cans that there seemed to be a decent amount left after the first couple of uses, and then it would be mysteriously empty a couple days later when I needed it again - and there's no one else at my house using it! It's like it just suddenly evaporated (and how it does this seeing as it's an aeresol can, I have no idea). Definitely not repurchasing again.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This was my first experience with dry shampoo. I have fine hair that gets oily pretty fast... but this doesn't weigh it down. I find I can get an extra day out of this and that is it -- trying to use it for two days would just make my hair coated and weird. The bad thing is the price. From what people are saying I can buy that cheap Psssst brand and pretty much get the same results... so next time I'm doing that.
UPDATE: I tried Pssst and it's just as good if not better. This stuff is overpriced and there's no reason for me to ever get it again.

Sorry dude, my Mototola flip phone can't stream anything
Sorry dude, my Mototola flip phone can't stream anything
The trouble with quotes on the Internet is one never knows if they are genuine. Abraham Lincoln
I use "A Online Radio"
If it is similar to iPod, you can download the MWR app, or for more options, download the Live365 App, then load MWR.
I also got my first Android phone in the last month. I just did a quick search for "podcast" on the Android Market, and plenty of results came up for podcast players and managers, most of them free. I haven't tried any - but that's where I would start if I were you.
I have a personal aversion to streaming, so when I do get around to it I will probably try to find one that will let me download podcasts to the SD card, and then play them from there. If you have a WiFi capable phone, and a WiFi network in your home, you can probably get them faster this way than over your data plan, and playback will be more smooth, and should also cause your phone to consume less power.
Sorry, I don't know why I assumed it was a podcast.
Did you try just visiting the mobile version of the site? Try m.mouseworldradio.com. I looked at their homepage, and it does say that it can be streamed to Android.
Ah, now I see. Mouseworld Radio appears to be a series of channels on Live365, which in turn seems to be an internet radio platform. So you probably need the Live365 Android app:
Same caveat I gave with the Podcast apps goes here as well - I have not tried this. Also note that is is marked BETA.
Thank you for asking a question that caused me to learn something.
Gatorhead, as I said you can install the App 'A Online Radio', or I actually prefer 'Tunein Radio' and than search for Mouseworld Radio. Hope this helps!
Make sure your Android phone can handle more than one window at a time. Some players need a second window to stream a player if something needs to pop up. I had a ton of trouble streaming from certain sites on my non-smart smart phone. It was a basic smart phone that did a lot, but not enough of what I wanted. Usually I download whatever apps I need, and try to stream the rest. Haven't tried Mouseworld Radio separately because I get it through Live 365 on my phone.
Please visit my new DISNEY AUTOGRAPH website to check out my autograph collection!
Really Walt? Disneyland is MY land? Why would I want a silly little land when I can have the WORLD.
Used the Live 365 app for some of the mouseworld radio and it seems to work good. Didn't realize there was an app for it on the android market.
Now to get station 1x, which I assume is the best station?, I'll have to try one of the other options mentioned in the thread. Be nice to know which stations played what somehow on mouseworld radio. Now sure how all that is broken down.
Also looks like there some other good stations out there for Disney music. Any recommendations for any of the others? Something other than just the usual movie soundtrack music etc.?
The only MouseWorld stations I can find on Live365 are 1-4. Four used to be the same five or six interviews streaming all day, and now it seems all they do is stream virtual tours and tours for the blind on there. Whatever. Still something to listen to.
As far as other stations to listen to, I do not know which ones have their own apps for Android. I don't have any Disney apps on my phone. When I need a Disney fix, I use the stations through Live365 (you have to be a paid member, but I use it so often that the $5 a month is fine for me. I prefer park music over movie soundtracks, so those are the stations I search out. Right now I have 35 (just counted them) Disney Park stations on my presets, along with everything else. Some I listen to far more than others, some I have never bothered with, but they're always there, just in case. Again, this is all for Live365.
In searching the Android market, I haven't found many stations at all, unfortunately, with their own apps. Haven't found an app for Shoutcast, either. But overall I'm really happy with Live365, now that they've (finally) released the Android app!
Please visit my new DISNEY AUTOGRAPH website to check out my autograph collection!
Really Walt? Disneyland is MY land? Why would I want a silly little land when I can have the WORLD.
The TuneIn Radio app get's you Radio 1x which I believe is the Shoutcast station for MWR.
Just downloaded TuneIn and it's alot like IHeartRadio. MouseWorld was buried several layers in and I couldn't find any immediate "search" feature for some reason. Is that the actual 1x that I found or is it just MouseWorld Radio 1? I wouldn't even know the difference, so I'm lost.

on July 9, 2013It's too damn early to be talking about the 2016 presidential election cycle, but here's a bold prediction. I don't know who the nominees of the two parties will be but, come 2017, when we all look back on how and when it all began, this is going to be regarded as the dumbest speculation advanced during the whole process.
Because Perry, who surprised few with his decision not to run for an unprecedented fifth term leading the Lone Star State, clearly wants another shot at his party's nomination. Just listen to how he threaded his speech Monday, announcing he'd step down when his term ends next year, with everything conservative Republican presidential primary voters want to hear: Aggressive tort reform. Business-friendly policies. Jobs. The fight for "traditional values" of heterosexual marriage and severe limits on abortion. "He's holding the door open to a presidential run," Smith said. "[The speech] had all the components of a potential presidential campaign, no question."
The Republican base is going to have about 20 people holding exactly those same positions; indeed, as we've seen, the rebranding effort has been such a resounding success that there isn't going to be a single candidate who doesn't hold exactly those same positions. Most of them will be younger and fresher than Rick Perry. None of them will carry the stench of failure and collapse the way he does. All of them will give The Base what it wants, and will demonstrably be able to count to three in public. What does Perry have to recommend him now that he didn't have in the late summer of 2011, when he completely obliterated Michele Bachmann's victory in the Iowa Straw Gooberfest? More uninspected, deregulated exploding fertilizer plants? He'll be taken seriously for a while because he's white, a Republican, and possesses a penis, but that won't last. He's still the guy who wanted to give illegal sponging wetbacks a complimentary college education. Forget his later stumbling and bumbling. That's what killed his campaign with Republicans, and it looks as though, against all odds and logic, The Base wants a tougher line on that issue. No, Goodhair, your time, if it ever was, has passed.

DJ Hero spins into store shelves
Renegade Edition features premium Renegade turntable controller, case, stand and exclusive DJ Hero Renegade 2-CD pack from Jay-Z and Eminem
Press Release:
The party has started with the most anticipated music game of the year, as DJ Hero is now available at retail stores. DJ Hero invites audiences of all kinds to the party, bringing living room legends to the main stage with the newest innovation in music gaming with an exclusive 93-mix track list, created by a host of legendary DJs uniquely blending almost every genre of music including hip hop, rock, pop, R&B and dance. Featuring electrifying gameplay that incorporates the fundamentals of DJing in a fun and accessible format, and booming tracks from Rihanna to The Killers; Marvin Gaye to Daft Punk; Queen to the Black Eyed Peas, DJ Hero provides consumers an opportunity to interact and listen to music unlike ever before.
"DJ'ing has taken me a lifetime to master, but DJ Hero opens the art up to the masses," commented superstar DJ, and European Ambassador for DJ Hero, David Guetta. "Players who have never touched decks will be able to easily get the authentic DJ experience and feel the euphoria of playing to an audience."
Heightening the euphoric experience, the DJ Hero Renegade Edition delivers exclusive special edition hardware and a limited edition CD collaboration between two cultural icons – JAY-Z, the most successful solo recording artist of all time and hip hop legend, EMINEM – introducing unreleased material from EMINEM and JAY-Z's first ever "best of" compilation.
Expanding upon the revolutionary easy to pick up/challenging to master gameplay mechanics developed and refined in Guitar Hero®, DJ Hero delivers an all-new interactive music experience that allows players to start the party and not only experience, but to hear music in an all-new way. Featuring mixes created by DJ AM, Cut Chemist, Grandmaster Flash, DJ Jazzy Jeff, J. Period, DJ Shadow, DJ Z-Trip and more, spinning over 100 individual songs, highlighted in 93 unique never-before-released mixes that blend genres of music, including hip-hop, pop, rock and dance, DJ Hero delivers the most diverse and international collection of music ever assembled in a music game by incorporating anthems from legendary artists. Created exclusively for DJ Hero, the turntable controller immerses fans into the DJ culture and a sea of music as they utilize and master various DJ techniques including scratching, crossfading and sampling, while leaving room for creative expression with a variety of effects and player chosen samples and scratches, transforming a face in the crowd into the life of the party.
The DJ Hero Renegade Edition includes a copy of the game, a premium Renegade turntable controller, hardshell turntable carrying case that converts to a performance-ready DJ stand, and an exclusive JAY-Z and EMINEM 2-CD pack featuring "best of" and new, unreleased material.
Alongside his role as European Ambassador for DJ Hero, David Guetta will also be endorsing the game with the creation of three mixes, available as downloadable content in late-2009.
"I think DJ Hero is a revolutionary game that gives an inside scoop on what DJing is all about." said local DJ and radio presenter Dany Neville, an avid fan of the game. "I also think, to an extent, it trains the normal ear to hear mixes and melodies that it normally wouldn't. It's educational, fun and not to mention, addictive!"
Gamers and fans alike will be able to rule the party with remixes of the ubiquitous "When Love Takes Over" featuring Kelly Rowland, the chart topping "Sexy Chick" featuring Akon and "On The Dance Floor" featuring will.i.am and apl.de.ap of the Black Eyed Peas.

Modern portfolio theory suggests that markets are efficient, and that a security's price includes all available information. The suggestion is that active management of a portfolio is useless, and investors would be better off buying an index and letting it ride. However, stock prices do not always seem rational, and there is also ample evidence going against efficient markets.
So, although many people say that index investing is the way to go, we'll look at some reasons why it isn't always the best choice. (For background reading, see our Index Investing Tutorial and Modern Portfolio Theory: An Overview.)
The stock market has proved to be a great investment in the long run, but over the years it has had its fair share of bumps and bruises. Investing in an index fund, such as one that tracks the S&P 500, will give you the upside when the market is doing well, but also leaves you completely vulnerable to the downside.
You can choose to hedge your exposure to the index by shorting the index, or buying a put against the index, but because these move in the exact opposite direction of each other, using them together could defeat the purpose of investing (it's a breakeven strategy). (To learn how to protect against dreaded downturns, check out 4 ETF Strategies For A Down Market.)
Sometimes obvious mispricing can occur in the market, but in a broad market value weighted index, exposure to a mispriced stock or sector may be minimal. Active management can take advantage of this misguided behavior in the market. An investor can watch out for good companies that become undervalued based on factors other than fundamentals, and sell companies that become overvalued for the same reason.
Index investing does not allow for this advantageous behavior. If a stock becomes overvalued, it actually starts to carry more weight in the index. Unfortunately, this is just when astute investors would want to be lowering their portfolios' exposure to that stock.
Indexes are set portfolios. If an investor buys an index fund, he or she has no control over the individual holdings in the portfolio. You may have specific companies that you like and want to own, such as a favorite bank or food company that you have researched and want to buy. Your portfolio can be augmented by adding specific stocks you like, but the components of an index portion are out of your hands. (To learn about socially responsible investing, see Change The World One Investment At A Time.)
There are countless strategies that investors have used with success; unfortunately, buying an index of the market may not give you access to a lot of these good ideas and strategies. Index investing will give you diversification, but that can also be achieved with as few as 30 stocks, instead of the 500 stocks an S&P 500 Index would track.
If you conduct research, you may be able to find the best value stocks, the best growth stocks and the best stocks for other strategies. You may be able to provide yourself with a better-positioned portfolio than the overall market, or one that's better suited to your personal goals and risk tolerances. (To learn more, read A Guide To Portfolio Construction.)
Finally, investing can be worrying and stressful, especially during times of market turmoil. Selecting certain stocks may leave you constantly checking quotes, and can keep you awake at night, but these situations will not be averted by investing in an index. You can still find yourself constantly checking on how the market is performing and being worried sick about the economic landscape.
On top of this, you will lose the satisfaction and excitement of making good investments and being successful with your money. (To learn more, see Create Your Own U.S. Equity Portfolio.)
There have been studies both in favor and against active management. Many managers perform worse than their comparative benchmarks, but that does not change the fact that there are exceptional managers who regularly outperform the market. Index investing has merit if you want to take a broad economic view, but there are many reasons why it's not always the best route to achieving your personal investing goals.

Westport Man Career Offender Exiled to 15 Years in Prison for the Home Invasion Robbery of a Suspected Drug Dealer
Baltimore, Maryland - U.S. District Judge Richard D. Bennett sentenced Robert Jones a/k/a Seattle, age 24, of Baltimore, Maryland, today to 15 years in prison, followed by three years of supervised release, for armed robbery in connection with the home invasion robbery of a suspected drug dealer in the Westport area of Baltimore. Judge Bennett enhanced Jones' sentence upon finding that he is a career offender, based on two prior felony drug trafficking convictions in Baltimore City Circuit Court.
The sentence was announced by United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Rod J. Rosenstein; Special Agent in Charge Richard A. McFeely of the Federal Bureau of Investigation; Baltimore City State's Attorney Gregg L. Bernstein; and Baltimore Police Commissioner Frederick H. Bealefeld III.
According to Jones' plea agreement, on April 17, 2010, he and two conspirators broke into a home in the Westport area of Baltimore in order to steal the drugs and cash they believed were stored in the home by a local drug dealer. Prior to the robbery Jones obtained a gun which he gave to one of his conspirators to use in the robbery. After unsuccessfully attempting to enter the home through the kitchen entrance, one of the conspirators gained entry through the front window and let Jones and the other conspirator into the house through the front door. Inside the home, the robbers found a woman in the upstairs bedroom. While one of the conspirators held a gun on the woman, Jones demanded that she tell them where the drugs and money were kept. The victim claimed not to know. Jones told the conspirators to take the woman downstairs, where one of the conspirators kept watch on her. Jones then told the other conspirator to go back upstairs and look for the drugs. The conspirator found a baby in the bedroom. Jones ordered the woman to get the baby and bring it downstairs, while Jones and his co-conspirator continued searching for drugs and money. Jones repeatedly asked the woman where the drugs were and when her boyfriend would return. When the woman stated that her boyfriend might be home soon, Jones ordered his co-conspirators to wait while Jones left to return a vehicle to his girlfriend. While the conspirators were downstairs with the woman and the baby, police arrived and shined a bright light through the front window. The conspirators fled upstairs, dropping the gun in the bedroom before they both jumped out of the bedroom window. The conspirators were arrested and the gun was recovered. The investigation showed that the robbers had stolen $250 in cash from the woman's purse.
United States Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein commended the FBI, Baltimore City State's Attorney's Office and the Baltimore Police Department for their work in this investigation and thanked Assistant United States Attorney John F. Purcell, who prosecuted the case.

Music Critic/Ui co-founder (and, full disclosure, associate) Sasha Frere-Jones remixed Georgia underground legends Pylon's "Yo-Yo" twice by adding a number of new elements, including vocals by Sleigh Bells frontwoman Alexis Krauss. His "Yo-Yo (Calvinist Saved Remix)" will be available as the B-Side of a limited-edition 7″ that finds longtime/outspoken Pylon fans Deerhunter covering the band's 1980 single "Cool" on side A. Stream the whole thing, including "Yo-Yo (The Calvinist Unsaved Remix)," which I'm guessing is for the digital version of the release:

Sponsored by Britelite.
That's the view of head coach Matt Williams, who watched his side beaten 27-20 by Wimbledon at Rectory Field.
The result ended the Gs' run of 12 straight wins and meant they missed out on the chance to move top of the table.
But Williams saw the positives.
He said: "Saturday was a good thing for us because it refocused our minds. We'll have the right frame of mind again now, so I'm not despondent at all.
"It was as though we needed to lose just to reaffirm that just turning up doesn't mean you're going to win."
Gravesend's players trudged off the pitch to the surprise news that leaders Chichester had also been beaten at home, by Cobham, meaning the Gs actually closed the gap in the title race to a point.
Williams said: "We must be blessed. I couldn't believe it. They lost without a bonus point as well, which is positive for us.
"In the last 10 minutes, we started to wake up and play proper rugby and we ended up scoring a losing bonus point. At the end of the season, that one bonus point could be so important."
Gravesend will go top if they win at Haywards Heath on Saturday.

A retrospective analysis of delayed complications of urethroplasty at a tertiary care centre.
Summary of "A retrospective analysis of delayed complications of urethroplasty at a tertiary care centre."
Urethroplasty is commonly performed worldwide by reconstructive urologists and such a large scale practice is often faced with numerous complications, yet "complication based analysis" still persists as a gray area. Our study aims to provide an evaluation of long-term post-urethroplasty complications, after the five commonly practiced procedures, at our centre. 302 male patients with urethral strictures due to various etiologies were assessed preoperatively via retrograde urethrogram, urethrosonogram, and uroflowmetry. They were then subjected to different urethroplasty techniques viz. tunica albuginea urethroplasty (TAU), U-shaped prostato-bulbar anastomosis (USPBA), dorsal buccal mucosa graft urethroplasty, skin substitution urethroplasty and Dartos flap urethroplasty. Postoperatively, patients were assessed at regular intervals, regarding the occurrence of complications. The overall complication rate was 21% at 5 years follow-up, with the majority during the initial 2 years. Infection and restenosis were the major long-term complications (12%). Maximum complications were seen in patients, who underwent TAU and USPBA simultaneously followed by Dartos flap urethroplasty and minimum were seen with TAU. In conclusion, a meticulous post-urethroplasty follow-up reveals a wide range of long-term complications. The complication rate differs in accordance with the etiology, site and length of stricture as well as the reconstructive technique.

Acquired Taste Bio
Chris Morris
"I'm an acquired taste in that my kind of music's not for little kids," Texas singersongwriter Delbert McClinton says. "It's adult rock 'n' roll. I write from the sensibility of the people I knew growing up, and I grew up with all the heathens, the people who went too far before they changed and tried to make something out of their lives. There are a lot of beautiful colors and sad stories and much-deserved joy in that."
All those colors and stories, and all that joy, are richly present in McClinton's
New West album Acquired Taste. The collection is the musician's fourth studio set for the label, and it succeeds his Grammy Award-winning Cost of Living (2005), which was named best contemporary blues recording by the Recording Academy. The album reunites McClinton with the producer who helmed his very first Grammy winner, Don Was. The multi-talented bandleader, bassist, and studio wizard recorded "Good Man, Good Woman," a collaboration with Bonnie Raitt that captured the best rock performance by a duo or group Grammy for 1991. Was came to the current project on the recommendation of New West president Cameron Strang, who had employed the producer on Kris Kristofferson's widely praised 2006 album for the label, This Old Road.
"Don and I had kind of a cosmic connection, because of Bonnie," McClinton says. "Then he and I got together and recorded a few things that were very, very good. I've been ricocheting off of him for about 17 years now."
Was says, "Delbert's an erudite, urbane sophisticate, wrapped up as a roadhouse singer. There's nothing contradictory in his character -- he's a real Texan. Neither the intellectual nor the roadhouse singer is a put-on. They come in equal parts. He's one of a kind, he's amazing. He defies the categories and slips right through."
Working with Was took McClinton in a welcome new direction.
"It was a good thing, because it kind of got me off my ass," he says. "Since we did Cost of Living, I'd been writing, but I couldn't get motivated to go into the studio. During those three years, I was trying to reinvent myself a bit, and even the thought of it was very daunting. At the same time, I knew I had bits and pieces of songs I had started that were, to me, very much unlike most of the songs I write. They were kind of outside the box."
McClinton wrote or co-authored the 14 songs on Acquired Taste; his co-writers included his longtime musical collaborator and producer Gary Nicholson, his keyboardist Kevin McKendree and guitarist Rob McNelley, Texas songsmith Guy Clark, Nashville ace and ex-NRBQ axe man Al Anderson, and Benmont Tench of Tom Petty's Heartbreakers. The album was tracked at East Isis Studios in Nashville and Henson Studios in Hollywood by McClinton and his working band – McKendree, McNelley,
drummer Lynn Williams, and bassist Steve Mackey.
Kicking off with "Mama's Little Baby," a grown-up rewrite of "Short'nin' Bread," Acquired Taste ranges through a breadth of styles. While longtime McClinton fans will bask in the gutsy blues of "I Need to Know" and the churning funk of "Do It," other songs drive onto some freshly-paved stylistic roads – the jazzy, hard-swinging "People Just Love to Talk," the melancholy tango "She's Not There Anymore," the popharmonized "When She Cries at Night." The album's balladry – "Starting a Rumor," "Never Saw It Coming," "Wouldn't You Think (Should've Been Here By Now)," "Out of My Mind" – finds McClinton at his most profoundly affecting, while "Willie" and "Cherry Street" show that his sense of humor remains firmly in place.
The record's freewheeling diversity – and McClinton's career-long defiance of easy categorization – is unsurprising, given his Texas origins.
"I saw a chart once in the book Folk Songs of North America," McClinton recalls. "You open it up, and there's a map of the United States, with musical influences in color, showing where they came into this country and where they migrated. More colors come through Texas than anywhere – they come from everywhere. All these different cultural musics come together in Texas."
Born in Lubbock (hometown of such other musical notables as Buddy Holly and Joe Ely), McClinton came of age in the Fort Worth joints. He first appeared on a hit record in 1962, when his distinctive harmonica playing graced Bruce Channel's No. 1
single "Hey Baby" (which inspired the harp work of a young John Lennon). He backed such blues legends as Jimmy Reed and Sonny Boy Williamson, and honed his chops in local acts like the Ron-Dels, the Straightjackets, and Bobby Crown and the Kapers. In the early '70s, McClinton and keyboardist-vocalist Glen Clark relocated to Los Angeles, where they cut a pair of prophetic roots-rock albums as Delbert & Glen.
Beginning in 1975, McClinton recorded a series of brawny LPs for ABC, Capricorn, and Capitol that seamlessly melded blues, R&B, and country into a uniquely soulful blend. At the latter label in 1980, McClinton scored the top 10 hit "Giving It Up
For Your Love," which pushed the accompanying album The Jealous Kind into the national top 40.
After spending the late '80s and '90s cutting consistently powerful albums for Alligator, Curb, Mercury, and MCA, McClinton arrived at New West in 2001 with the wildly received Nothing Personal, which won him his first solo Grammy, for best contemporary blues album. Room to Breathe followed in 2002. His high-temperature
show was captured on the two-CD set Live (2003). (His 1982 appearance on the popular PBS series Austin City Limits is available as part of New West's Live From Austin TX series.)
Producer and artist both place Acquired Taste among McClinton's best and most ambitious work.
Was says, "What I like about this album is that it's a musical journey. It's got a really broad spectrum stylistically, and yet his sensibility and persona are so strong that it's totally unified when you put him on top of it."
"This one definitely does stand apart, without a doubt," says McClinton. "There were an awful lot of people wanting to make this really good. "When we went in to do it, everybody was tense but ready. Don has that bedside manner to make everybody think they're the most important one around. We were talking during a break in the session, and my guitar player said, 'Man, he just makes you really do good shit!' And I said, 'Yeah, well, he's kinda known for being able to do that without letting you know he's doing it.' Don's a magic guy, and I love him more than anything. I couldn't be happier with this."
When Delbert McClinton announces with his latest album that he has Room To Breathe, he sure ain't kidding. After more than four decades of making music, McClinton is breathing freely with the confidence and energy of an artist who knows that he has mastered his game. Still basking in the glow of a new Grammy® Award, he has followed up what The Wall Street Journal declared his "best recording ever" -- 2001's Nothing Personal -- with a set that displays even greater muscle, smarts, charm and soul.
A listen to the 12 tracks on Room To Breathe handily backs the contention that even after enjoying the best year of his long career, McClinton is now poised to triumph further. From the swampy and rollicking opening strains of "Same Kinda Crazy" to the album's closing jump blues visit to "New York City," Room To Breathe plays like the night of your life in God's own roadhouse. Co-produced by Delbert's longtime friend and songwriting partner Gary Nicholson, the bulk of the album was with his well-seasoned road band. Special guests like singer Bekka Bramlett and Texas guitar legend Bill Campbell stopped by. Horn and string sections were used to deepen the sound. It features 12 new McClinton originals written solo and in collaboration with such noted talents as Nicholson, Benmont Tench (from Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers) and Al Anderson (the former NRBQ guitarist turned hit Nashville songsmith). He is joined on "Lone Star Blues" by an honor roll of fellow Texans: Marcia Ball, Ray Benson, Guy Clark, Rodney Crowell, Joe Ely, Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Butch Hancock, Kimmie Rhodes and Billy Joe Shaver, along with honorary Texan Emmylou Harris.
McClinton's early memories include going as a child with his parents to see Bob Wills & His Texas Playboys at The Cotton Club in Lubbock, TX, where he was born. His family moved to Ft. Worth when McClinton was 11, and just a few years later he started earning his Ph.D in real American music in a city known as a fertile incubator for a variety of styles. Out on the Jacksboro Highway at clubs like Jack's Place, Delbert mastered the craft of keeping the hard-drinking rednecks, cowpokes and roustabouts entertained all night long. And at the legendary Skyliner Ballroom, where McClinton's band was the only white act to play its Blue Monday nights AND be the backing band for the headliners, he received a first-class tutelage from the masters of blues music like Jimmy Reed, Howlin' Wolf and Sonny Boy Williamson.
McClinton cut a number of local and regional singles before hitting the national charts in 1962 playing harmonica on Bruce Channel's now classic "Hey! Baby." On a subsequent package tour of England, Delbert showed some of his harp licks to the rhythm guitarist for a young band at the bottom of the bill. The lessons he gave John Lennon were later heard hit singles by The Beatles.
In the early 1970s, McClinton and his Ft. Worth pal Glen Clark headed out to Los Angeles, where they cut two then obscure but now prized albums for Atlantic Records as Delbert & Glen. Returning to Texas, he landed a deal with ABC Records. With the release of his 1975 solo debut, Victim of Life's Circumstances, McClinton firmly stamped his Ft. Worth-bred blend of blues, country and blue-eyed soul onto the pop musical landscape. A succession of influential and critically acclaimed albums followed, along with coups like appearing on "Saturday Night Live" in its heyday -- an acknowledgement of the pages torn from Delbert's play book by Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi when they formed The Blues Brothers. He scored hits like "Giving It Up For Your Love" and "Sandy Beaches," won a Grammy with Bonnie Raitt for their "Good Man/Good Woman" duet, and over the years has enjoyed covers of his songs by Emmylou Harris, The Blues Brothers, Vince Gill, Wynonna, Lee Roy Parnell, Martina McBride, Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood, among others.
Tightening radio formats may have offered fewer opportunities for his expansive musical approach, yet McClinton solidified his loyal following with his relentless touring and his annual Delbert McClinton & Friends Sandy Beaches Cruise every January in the Caribbean.
Then last year, when Delbert "came roaring out of the gate on Nothing Personal," as Rolling Stone put it, his stature as one of the living icons of genuine American music returned to the forefront. The album debuted on five Billboard charts: Hot 200 Albums, Blues, Country, Independent and Internet Sales. What's the secret behind his newfound success? "Life is better than it's ever been for me," McClinton explains.
The splash made by Nothing Personal has given McClinton "a great confidence" that makes Room To Breathe sound like it could be a personal best. But with both his characteristic modesty as well as the moxie of a man on top of his game, Delbert shies away from claiming his latest as his greatest. "I think that it is a perfect record to follow up Nothing Personal with," he notes. "I'm not sure I've made the best record yet that I will ever make. And that in and of itself is a great feeling, because as long as I've been doing this, I still every day feel like I can do better. And that's pretty amazing to me, because most people either burn out or stop doing it all the time by now. So far I have not lost the inspiration; it's getting even better for me. I am the luckiest man you know."

The scorching Arizona sun beats down on Adobe Dam Regional Park, but visitors to Wet 'n' Wild Phoenix keep cool as they splash throughout more than 30 waterslides and attractions. The 35-acre facility is home to an abundance of adrenaline-pumping rides—including a towering tandem water coaster, a spiraling 45-foot funnel, and a four-story six-lane speedway—to contrast its more laid-back attractions, including an interactive playground and 450,000-gallon wave pool. The junior water park accommodates younger guests with kid-friendly funnels, rivers, and racing slides. Food and beverage carts traverse the grounds, while an onsite restaurant, cafes, and pubs fuel fun with full meals, snacks, and drinks. To ensure guest safety, a vigilant staff of lifeguards patrols the park and will swiftly kick out sharks who've shrewdly disguised themselves in bikinis and sun hats.
Hawaii Gun Club & Waikiki Gun Club's reputations are known far and wide. Since they opened in 1988, the clubs have seen clients from more than 50 different countries come through their classrooms and shooting ranges. It's no wonder why?the staff members at both have ample expertise, including NRA certifications, CPR and First Aid qualifications, and fluency in Japanese.
Bay View Mini-Putt and Zipline's attractions make the most of Hawaii's natural beauty. Mini-golfers may play across artificial lava flows and beneath the gaze of dragon statues, but the backdrop consists of real Koolau Mountain peaks and soaring banyan trees. The course's tallest banyan tree, in fact, holds a treehouse that serves a launching point for a double-cable zipline, which carries up to two passengers at a time over the Likelike Course. Over 400 feet, the exhilarating trip affords views of nearby Kaneohe Bay at speeds of up to 25 mph—eight times the velocity of even the most powerful putt.

Alternative rock band Lit and '80s new wave artists The Fixx will serve as half of the headlining acts at Scottsdale's Ultimate Block Party on New Year's Eve.
Lit and The Fixx join two other national bands that could be named as soon as next week, said party spokeswoman Leslie Sonneklar.
In all, 12 bands will play on three stages at the downtown party, including local bands The Chadwicks, Chalmers Green, Chrome 9, Dimonet, 1000 Yard Stare, Simplify and Smoke Screen.
The Scottsdale Student Music Festival kicks off the festivities at 10 a.m. Dec. 31 on Fifth Avenue with music from Saguaro, Chaparral and Desert Mountain high schools and Mohave Middle School.
Sonneklar said the event has been expanded to hold 18,000 people after having to turn thousands away last year, at Scottsdale's first New Year's Eve block party, after running out of space.
Three entrances have been added to the two available last year that resulted in long lines, Sonneklar said.
The Scottsdale event is already growing rapidly in popularity, Sonneklar said, because it offers an alternative to the Tempe Tostitos Fiesta Bowl Block Party.
"It was a fun time, obviously it looked fun from the outside and everyone had heard about it, it's the only thing in the Valley that does anything like that," Sonneklar said. "You know it's a 21-and-over crowd, whereas Tempe is a little more family-oriented and you can be any age to get in."
At the party, people will be allowed to carry their drinks along the street and can visit the four participating bars: Next, Upper Deck Sports Grill, Dos Gringos and Acme Bar and Grill.
In the fall, Scottsdale tested "low-impact" fireworks in the hope they can be used for the block party. Sahler Hornbeck, a Scottsdale downtown liaison, said the test went well but the city is waiting on approval from Rural/Metro Fire Department.
Tickets can be purchased at www.openairevents.com for $35 or at the event before 10 a.m. Dec. 31, so long as tickets are still available.
Proceeds from the party will go to local United Phoenix and Scottsdale Firefighters Charities and Scottsdale Unified School District's music programs.
