First guide. Figured I'd contribute to the community a little. For those of you who don't know who Pudge is, he's a DotA character whose trademark meat hook skill would pull enemy players to him. Blitzcrank's Rocket Grab works with a similar mechanism. It sets up all kinds of opportunities to kill opponents who don't pay attention, and works wonders for initiating.
The Basics
Warning: This is not a carry Blitzcrank guide. If you want to be dealing massive amounts of damage. Play Yi. Or Jax. This guide is about initiating and setting up kills with Rocket Grab, and making it really, reaaally hard for grabbed opponents to get away from you. You'll be filling an Alistar-like roll, where you separate an enemy out of the pack for your team to destroy. Like Alistar, you'll also be pretty beefy. That said, you should still end up with plenty of kills.
Important Stats and growth:
Health: 687 (+100 per level)
Mana: 311 (+38 per level)
Movespeed: 309
Attack: 57 (+4 per level)
I rounded the attack gain per level. It might have a decimal I missed.
Skills and comments:
Rocket Grab: Blitzcrank fires his right hand. If it encounters an enemy it will stun them and deal 60/120/180/240/300 magic damage while he pulls them to himself.
This is your meat hook, your signature move. It will be what nets you and your team countless kills if used right, and will, more often than not, land you or your lanemate first blood. More on that in early game.
Overdrive: Blitzcrack supercharges himself to increase movement (16/20/24/28/32%) and attack (30/38/46/54/62%) speed for 8 seconds. When this effect ends, Blitzcrank is slowed by 25% for 3 seconds.
It's okay for chasing people down to rocket grab them back. The attack speed is pretty nice, but this guide focuses more on team play and support than carrying, so this skill wont be optimized. I don't recommend it until later game. Using it early will usually get you killed from the slow.
Power Fist: Blitzcrack charges his fist to make his next attack deal double his base damage and pop his target into the air.
Wonderful skill. It acts as a stun and the cooldown is 9/8/7/6/5. You don't see disables with that kind of cooldown. You'll be maxing this first. USE THIS TO LAST HIT. It's cheap and effective.
Static Field:
Passive: Lightning arcs off of Blitzcrank to hit a random enemy for 100/200/300 magic damage every 2.5 seconds.
Active: Deals AoE magic (200/300/400) damage, disabling the passive until recharged.
The passive is much more helpful than the activation effect now that silence has been removed. If you can follow an enemy hero, the passive will deal a lot more damage than what you can get bursting them with the activation, plus the passive is a great farming skill.
Situations you should use the activation in:
1. With the lower cooldown, if you see a large wave of creeps, go ahead and pewpew it with your activation. It's good money and it cools down pretty fast. Only use it on larger creep waves though, don't waste it on smaller ones where your passive and intelligent last hitting will get you just as many creep kills.
2. If an enemy hero is going to escape you and is running through creeps or other heros, activating for the kill is smarter than chasing and hoping for your passive to hit the right target.
3. Killing heroes with blink skills who wont stick around for long.
4. When you are going to die, go out with a bang.
Passive-> Mana Barrier: Upon dropping to 20% health, Blitzcrank's Mana Barrier activates using 50% of his current mana to absorb damage for 10 seconds. Unused mana is refunded after skill ends.
Really good passive, actually. Makes you quite a bit tankier with a decent mana pool and will save your life quite often.
Skill Order:
1. Rocket Grab
2. Power Fist
3. Power Fist
4. Rocket Grab/Overdrive
5. Power Fist
6. Static Field
7. Power Fist
8. Rocket Grab
9. Power Fist
10. Rocket Grab
11. Static Field
12. Rocket Grab
13. Overdrive/Rocket Grab
14. Overdrive
15. Overdrive
16. Static Field
17. Overdrive
18. Overdrive
Level 4, if you really want Overdrive for a small movement/attack speed boost, go for it. Just use it carefully. I don't find it necessary though. Max power fist first. With utility masteries, you'll be popping people into the air every 3.5 seconds. It makes it really hard to get away from you.
Masteries: I go 9/0/21 for maximum cooldown reduction/regen.

3 Intelligence
1 Prensence of the Master
Blue: Clarities
Yellow: Vigors
Red: Desolations
Quints: Fortitudes
That's what I use. The clarities are a must. They'll keep your mana up all game. The rest of it is just preference, really. Desolation might seem like a strange choice, but early game, it makes your rocket punches hurt. Personal Preference really, other than clarities. Those are vital.
Summoner Skills: I prefer Teleport and Flash. Flash is great to get one last Power Fist/Static Field on people if they are going to escape, or for escaping yourself. Teleport saves so much time, I don't see why you wouldn't get it. Really though, it's a playstyle/team choice.
Item Build:
Sapphire Crystal->Catalyst the Protector->Rod of Ages
Boots of Swiftness
Zeal-> Trinity Force
Frozen Heart/Banshee's Veil (Heart for physical dps, Banshee's for casters)
The game should be over by this point. If it's not, I suggest taking up a tank/support roll, because you'll be getting overshadowed by dedicated carries.
Anyway, as you can see, the items don't really fill a certain niche as much as they round you out in almost everything. You'll have substantial amounts of health and mana, so you wont go down easy, you'll have a touch of AP to make your Grab and your Ult a little more painful, and you'll have a lot of movement and slow for chasing things down. Ideally with this build, if you pull an enemy hero over with your Grab, they wont be getting away from you.
Another thing these items will emphasize is beefing you up. You wont be a dedicated tank, but you won't go down easily. Blitz has some really nice health per level, and you'll be getting good amounts of health and mana for your passive with these items.
Playstyle and Game Progression:
Early Game: Pick up your health potion and Sapphire Crystal. Head to a lane. It doesn't really matter if you're solo or with a lanemate, but if you choose to go with a lanemate, try to choose one with a stun or snare because you'll be rocket grabbing all over the place. Try to let the opposing lane push to your tower. If you're really good, you'll get them to a point where their creeps aren't in tower range, but you can rocket grab opposing heroes into tower range. Once you're level 2 and have Power Fist, use it to pop Rocket Grab victims into the air. If you successfully drag an enemy hero to the tower and pop them into the air before they get out of range, they will die 9/10 times. It's even better if you have a lanemate to stun. Taric is absolutely ridiculous for this. He can stun before to give you a better Rocket Grab shot or after to keep them in the tower longer. Keep up the defensive play/rocket grabbing until you have enough money to blue pill back for Catalyst the Protector and boots of speed. Pick up another health potion if you feel like it. Teleport back and prepare to stay in your lane for the long haul.
Mid Game: Okay. Once you get Static Field and have Catalyst the Protector, your game plan changes from defensive to offensive. This is the part of the game where you will be raking in your kills, so enjoy it while you can. You'll also have a psychological advantage over the opposing heroes in your lane because they wont expect you to go offensive after you've been tower hugging all early game.
With Catalyst, you can afford to be a little more offensive because you have health and your passive, and your ult and power fist allow you to cause a lot of pain to enemy heroes while you chase them, making you very effective at ganks. Spend mid game roaming the map, ganking heroes and using your ult activation to take down larger creep waves.
Ideally, when you gank, you should first let your teammates in the lane you are coming to know you're coming, so they are ready. Come up from behind the enemy and Power Fist the hero who is lower on health. If your teammates have no stun to keep him in place after your Power fist, get ready to aim a Rocket Grab and follow up with another Power Fist. Something should be dead at this point. Head to another lane, and do it again.
If roaming and ganking doesn't appeal to you, try to find lanes that are being pushed and pull heroes into towers. There are very few players who don't give you an opportunity to grab them at some point. Watch for those opportunities, because they will often result in a kill. You can farm very well by using power fist to last hit. Your ult's passive also helps a lot for creep killing. You'll still be making a lot of gold this way, but it's far more devastating to take down enemy heroes than enemy creeps, so I recommend using your gank potential.
Go back to base when you need to heal and work towards your trinity force, making sure you get sheen first, because it has amazing synergy with Power Fist. Get Phage second, because slow procs mean it's that much more likely that your enemies wont be getting away once you've gotten close.
Late Game: You can usually identify this stage of the game by your faltering DPS. You have a lot of burst potential midgame, but late game, with the item build I've suggested, you wont be soloing too many enemy heroes. That's fine though, because end game is where team play really begins and team play is where Blitzcrank shines. You now take on the roll of initiator full time. This is how you do it.
First of all, make sure your team is actually playing as a team at this point. There's no excuse not to, and if you have some idiot off still trying to farm or push lanes solo, you're going to lose, because he'll get ganked, then you'll get pushed 4v5. Don't let that happen. Ever.
Now, once your team is all together, start a push. They opposing team will come to defend, and will probably stalemate you by tower hugging somewhere. This is where you win games for your team. This is what Rocket Grab was made for. Use it at every opportunity to pull an enemy away from the tower and into your team. If you hit an enemy hero, that hero will die if your team is at all competent, and half the time the opposing team will surge in to save him just to die along with him because they left their defensive position in a hurry.
Every time Rocket Grab goes on cooldown, use it on the next hero who tries to run away. Every time Power Fist goes on cooldown, use it to hit the most vital enemy hero next to you. If you feel like the tide is turning against you, and you have more than 2 heroes near you, activate your ult. It'll do pretty decent damage still, and that might be enough to cause the enemy team to disengage and run. Running is what you want to see. When they run, rocket grab one back. He'll die, and you can continue your push with an advantage.
If you couldn't tell my all the raving I've done about it, it's all about strategic use of rocket grab at this point. It is probably the best initiator in the game, and proper initiation is what wins team battles.
Rocket Grabbing: Because so much of what blitzcrank does for a team revolves around his ability to rocket grab effectively, I'm making this section to provide a few pointers. By and large, the best thing you can do to get better at it is to practice and get a feel for the skill, but these are a few things I find myself doing as I try to aim a grab:
1. Watch the enemy heroes and get a feel for their movement. How defensively do they play against possible grabs? Run to an area where it looks like you are going to grab them. How do they react? Which direction do they run to get away from you? Is it to the side or back? Very rarely will you be able to land a grab by just clicking on a hero. You have to anticipate his movements to hit him and to anticipate you have to analyze.
2. Be aware of creep movement. There's nothing more frustrating than shooting off a grab only to have a creep walk right in front of it. If your creeps are about to die, it means enemy creeps are going to be moving soon. Be aware of these things.
3. Be patient and don't get frustrated if you miss. You wont hit 100% of your shots, and you'll make yourself worse if you get angry and impatient. Wait for a shot to present itself and be ready to take it.
4. Move around a lot. Run at enemies like you're going to grab them, then back off. They'll get confused and wont know what to expect. You don't want to be predictable.
5. Hide in the bushes or behind terrain. If they can't see you, they can't dodge. One thing to be careful for though, is if you hide behind terrain, you have to leave space for the enemy hero in front of you. Otherwise they just hit the terrain and don't go all the way through it.
6. If creeps enemy creeps in front of a hero are about to die, you can fairly frequently catch the hero off guard by shooting a grab right as or slightly before the creep he's using as a shield goes down. Learn to anticipate when creeps will die, and use it to your advantage.
So that's that. As I said in the beginning this is my first guide, so if you have questions, or if I left anything out, feel pretty to let me know.
I play very a very similar build and I build him this way:
Sapphire Crystal -> Sheen
Boots of Speed -> Swiftness
Phage -> Frozen Mallet (Trinity is okay, but I'd rather have a more stable slow effect and more health).
Sunfire Cape/Force of Nature (depends on situation)
It might seem like too little mana but I hardly run out of mana before something more drastic happens (bigass teamfight, huge push, death) and don't really find any more to be necessary. The passive is almost negligible as you don't want to get that low anyways (though, it's good for mindgaming).

Lil Wayne I Got Screwed by the Judge And a Pissed Off Jury
by Big Mo
posted Nov 7 2012 12:43AM
Lil Wayne
is pissed off that he lost his lawsuit against
Quincy Jones III
... not because of the money, but because he thinks the judge should have given him time to recover from his illness so he could have made his case to the jury.
Wayne is telling his boys he's positive jurors were "pissed off" because he didn't show up and testify.
Wayne says he could have turned jurors and convinced them that Quincy's documentary on him was defamatory. He's also convinced the jury would never have awarded Quincy more than $2 mil for lost profits as a result of Wayne trashing the flick.
But the big thing is ... Wayne says he was sick, couldn't fly to L.A. and was dealing with a "medical emergency situation."
But he's leaving out one important fact. He wasn't so sick he couldn't take his tour bus from Louisiana to Miami to
sit courtside for the Heat game
As for the $2 mil -- Wayne's brushing it off because he says that's small change to him.

Dispensing nozzle a little short
Just be aware that the nozzle/soap dispenser is short and it will not be practicle if you have a long distance from the end of the nozzle to the sink. Otherwise. great deal! Color is same as shown in picture.Read More
Great Dispenser
So far so good on this dispenser! Hopefully I can say that a year from now. The last one I had (not Moen) stopped working properly after a year and a half. Fingers crossed. Giving is 4 stars for now and could be excellent if it continues to work for a long time.Read More
Excellent review
This is a great looking item. I was unable to locate this in New Zealand - could only find chrome finishes in NZ. Very pleased with this soap dispenser. It only took a week from when I ordered this to when it arrived at my doorstep. Emails were received keeping me up to date with the status of my order. Very impressed with both the product and the service.Read More

Questions & Answers
How big is the switcheroo that sits on the countertop?
Hello jturl, I hope your day is going well. The dimension of the dispenser is: 8.5 inches long x 5.25 inches wide x 2.75 inches high. Thank you for shopping with us.
I have purchased a Moen faucet that is labeled as a spot resistant stainless (Moen model: 7565SRS.) Since the soap dispenser will be adjacent to the faucet and they will both be Moen, I wanted to know if this dispenser will be an exact match? Thanks
Thank you for your question, plsb76. Without knowing what faucet you have purchased, it is hard to say whether it will be a perfect match or not. We would need a item number, can you send us the item number of the faucet you have? Have a great day.
Is the finish shiny or slightly dull as in the photo? I have a nickel faucet
Hello bookdznr, thank you for your inquiry! This finish is a stainless steel. Stainless steel has a bit a of shine to it. I hope this helps. Happy shopping!
Dull brushed nickel like all brushed nickel.
1. Does this item carry a lifetime manufacturer's warranty? 2. Also, does this item include a tube for under the sink into a big jug or does it have a smaller, "fill from the top" bottle for a resevoir? Or both?
• 18 ounce bottle • Straight Spout • Top Lifts Off for Easy Refill Limited lifetime warranty
Is the container that holds the soap plastic. Is the pipe that sits in the container plastic. Do you have a diagram showing which parts the measurements refer to (5.25 inches wide seems quite a bit). Does the spout swivel. We have a grohe alira stainless steel kitchen tap. Would this classic stainless finish match or would the Moen stainless steel finish be a better match.

How to Install a Soap Dispenser
Bathroom and kitchen decor really starts to come together when a single theme unites the room style. Matching bath hardware is especially good at accenting a room. If your towel bars, faucets and soap dispensers all match, everything will look more polished and permanent.

How to Clean Bath Fixtures
Bath fixtures get dingy easily from soap scum and hard water deposits. Most bathroom faucets are made of brass, chrome or stainless steel.

Cleaning bathroom faucets takes some time; however, if you do it frequently enough, you'll find that scum and debris have little time to build up. Below, you'll learn how to clean bath fixtures.

Advantages of Installing a Bar Faucet
More and more people are installing bar sinks with bar faucets in their homes as secondary kitchen faucets, but if you've never used one yourself, you may think they're a little superfluous. While it's true that not every kitchen needs a new bar faucet, they can be a very useful addition to your kitchen.

Unique Faucet Designs

However, sometimes, you may want a faucet that's unique, that departs from the norm and becomes a centerpiece for or makes a specific statement about your kitchen or bath. Maybe you want a faucet that performs a specific function that the usual faucets do not. If you're looking for that kind of faucet, keep reading.

Tips on Buying Stainless Cookware Sets

Best Bathroom Accessory Ideas
The bathroom is a key space in any home because it is an intimate area where you bathe and groom. Make it your haven or turn a shared bathroom into an inviting space by furnishing it with decorative and useful pieces. Look for bathroom accessories that help you relax and add to the decor. Here are some of the best bathroom accessory ideas to help you make the most out of your bathroom. Massaging bath mat: Massaging bath mats are bathroom accessories that can change your bathing experience. Suction cups hold these mats in place in your bathtub. By turning on one of these mats, you'll receive a full-body massage as you bathe. They're great for letting your circulation flow after a stressful day. Massaging bath mats are a worthwhile addition to your bathroom. Not only do they help you relax, but they also keep you from slipping in the tub. Select a mat in a color that is close to the one of your bathtub to keep the decor of the room uniform. Decorative mirrors: Decorative mirrors are useful bathroom accessories. Replace your plain bathroom mirror with one that has accents or an interesting shape. This new mirror will enliven the room while maintaining its purpose as a mirror. You can also use it for practical purposes, such as hiding a storage unit. Look for multipurpose mirrors that open to reveal a medicine cabinet. Bath pillows: Bath pillows can help you relax in your bathtub after a difficult day. A bath pillow offers support to your neck to keep it from straining when you lie down. They are convenient because they're small and take up very little space. Automatic soap dispensers: Automatic soap dispensers are very useful for your bathroom. They ensure that users will have plenty of soap for cleaning and sanitizing their hands. Soap dispensers are perfect for bathrooms that have lots of visitors, such as the one near your living room or in an office. An automatic dispenser detects a hand and dispenses a regulated amount of soap. View All Bath Accessories Back to Guides Directory View All Bath Accessories

Hand-hooked Garden Indoor Area Rug 167 177
Garden rug I love my new rug. Got it in the blue and it is wonderful on the floor. Bright, vibrant colors. I love whimsical and so this fits the bill. December 16, 2013
Beautiful rug I was so impressed with the looks of this rug that I ordered an additional one to go in an adjacent room. December 16, 2013
Love this rug - great buy! I bought this rug in black for my home office, and love it! It's actually quite plush, and the colors are as vibrant as online/print. Very fun and cheery and I smile every time I see it. I highly recommend, and I also bought the thicker, upgraded rug pad (the one for carpet or hardwood), which makes it really cushy. December 13, 2013
colors were different I ordered this rug because it had the exact colors I needed to pull together a room but the rug I received was NOT the same colors as the rug pictured. It even had purples which were not on the pictured rug at all. The quality seems good but don't know how it will withstand traffic since I won't be using it. Will probably pass it on to a family member & chalk it up to a lesson learned the hard way. December 6, 2013
Gorgeous in my entryway! This really makes my entryway a showplace. Nice and plush, December 5, 2013
Wish it worked out Waited two years to purchase this set of rugs for living room. I finally ordered them and the 2' x 3' came first. It was beautiful...but....within a couple of days our dogs was catching his nails on the loops and pulling them. Worse yet his light color dog hair and dirt that we traipsed across the rug showed immediately against the brilliant blue and our vacuum would not pick it up. With great sadness I cancelled the backordered larger rugs. Probably a great rug if you have no animals and minimal usage. November 27, 2013
Bright and Beautiful I bought three of these rugs to put in a very long hallway in the childrens wing of our home. They really make a bright and happy statement to an otherwise boring hallway. They are soft , thick and comfortable underfoot as well. As I have only had them a short while I can't speak to the durability but I suspect they'll be just fine. November 15, 2013
Hand-hooked Garden Indoor Area Rug Great quality, vibrant colors and nice backing. I recommend this rug. It added a spunky look to my dated kitchen! November 13, 2013
Thrilled to bits... I purchased this rug for a small hallway. It gave the hallway a "wow" factor. Great purchase for the money. Very modern looking.extremely pleased! November 10, 2013
Blue Rug is a Beauty! I purchased this rug in blue after seeing it in a magazine article on decorating a woman's office. Loved it immediately and was not disappointed when I saw it in person. It adds such a lovely spot of color in an otherwise neutral area of the family room. Good quality and the colors are rich. November 8, 2013
Fab rug! I love this rug! It adds just the right "punch" of color , texture and pattern to my bedroom. Exactly as pictured...I couldn't be happier! November 7, 2013
wonderful indoor area rug I just loved this area rug, and I loved it so much I bought two more. Really nice quality, well-made and beautiful colors. Has just the right amount of thickness -- not to think and not too thin. Looks great on my floors. November 6, 2013
Great Rug Beautiful vibrant colors, very soft. Very happy with my purchase. November 5, 2013
Great color and quality Rug has great quality and is not ruff or scratchy. Comfortable to walk on. Very bright and cheery. Love it! October 28, 2013
Gorgeous rug! I got this rug in indigo in the 2'6" X 4" size for my bathroom. It's absolutely perfect: soft under foot, colorful, extremely well made. I usually don't like synthetic carpets (they look shiny and, well, synthetic) but this one has the look and feel of fine wool. I would buy it in the other sizes and colors if I had places to put them. October 21, 2013
Colors Not As Vibrant Nice quality rug. However, the colors in the catalog pics are much brighter than the actual rug. October 16, 2013
Vibrant Colors! I bought the Blue Rug. Beautiful vibrant colors! Love it. October 11, 2013
Indigo Heaven! I love my new Garden inspired rug! It is vibrant in color and soft to the touch. Love it!! October 7, 2013
Beautiful Rug! I fell for this rug when I saw it in a Better Homes and Gardens magazine ad. I've wasted money on several disappointing rugs in recent years (they are serving out their lives in our garage!) and was holding my breath as I unrolled this one. It is so beautiful! The colors are perfect for this space, rich and vibrant; and it is so plush and soft underfoot. It is simply all I hoped for and more. Thanks! September 30, 2013
Love the vibrant colors. I received the Hand-hooked Garden area rug in indigo and it is the perfect color for the room I am using it in. I wanted one that had pizzazz and this is it! It is well made and I had no problem with it laying flat in a couple of days. It is easy to add colors of accents around it. Love it! September 30, 2013
Outstanding Runner We are so happy with the quality of this rug. The colors are vibrant and it's a great pattern. It adds the perfect amount of color to a hallway. The rug is soft and doesn't shed. September 26, 2013
Quality Rug Very well made sculpted rug. Colors are beautiful and very true to the catalogue photos. Price was very reasonable for this type of rug. I'm a picky consumer and not always happy with product I order over the internet. This is another great purchase from GrandinRoad. September 26, 2013
Not Durable Enough for Dogs This rug was pretty and went perfectly in my kitchen. Unfortunately, it doesn't stand up well to pets. My dogs' toenails pulled out the loops of the rug within 2 weeks of purchase. I finally just took the rug up and replaced it with a very inexpensive rug. I wouldn't recommend it for anyone with medium to large dogs. September 24, 2013
Good quality I am happy with the quality. It is substantial feeling and is soft under foot. September 24, 2013
Great colors Put this rug in my dining room. Really brightens up the room very good quality. September 23, 2013
Great Rug The colors are exactly as pictured! Great quality and perfect for my new bedroom!!! September 21, 2013
Beautiful! This rug really makes a statement in a room. The colors are bold just as shown in the catalog. I am not disappointed in the quality either. I am very happy with my purchase. September 17, 2013
Nice Rug I was completely pleased with the quality of this rug, however I was slightly disappointed with the color. It is described as Buttercup, but in reality, it has more green tones than it does yellow. September 16, 2013
Exactly what I wanted These rugs are very nice, good quality and great colors. I put one in front of my kitchen sink and one at the door out to garage. They look bright & attractive. You do, however, have to put a non-slip mat underneath. September 14, 2013
Great purchase Love the rugs. They compliment my kitchen nicely. Be careful when you vacuum. Using the brush feature on my vacuum can pull the threads. September 13, 2013

As you browse through our pages and speak with our knowledgeable customer representatives, you will find there are quite a few reasons why many have returned and recommended others to shop with us over the past 12 years. Here are some that we often hear why many of our customers think we stand out:
We felt like we were taking a gamble ordering teak outdoor furniture on line, from a
company we had never heard of...we are pleasantly surprised with the
entire process.
Your web site and customer response have been excellent, and our teak dining table
is really very nice, good strong design and quality. We had almost gone
with one of your competitors, but decided to give this a try and save
several hundred dollars for what appears to me, to be a very simialar
quality and design.
We are doing some shopping for teak folding chairs and may be back soon for
additional pieces.

Q for pros regarding testing
We just had a bathroom remodel on the second floor that included adding a shower stall. Unfortunately after we started using the shower there was a leak through the first floor ceiling.
Testing indicates that the issue is most likely at the elbow that connects the the pipe from the control unit to the pipe that runs to the showerhead.
My question is, shouldn't this have been tested before the wall was closed and tiled?
The plumber tested the system under pressure but did not test the complete system by running the water from the shower head and the hand held. He says that they don't test those parts as those pieces are straightforward and virtually never leak.
Is testing all components before closing the wall standard?
Unless they inspected the elbow from behind, I would have thought the "most likely" was where your shower arm is screwed into the fitting in the wall (drop elbow). If so, that's easy. Unscrew it, wrap threads with teflon tape, and screw it back in.
brickeye, yes, i think that the supply lines are capped during the rough in and are pressure tested, but the riser from the control to the shower head pipe and the pipe for the showerhead are in place before the wall gets closed and tiled. so, while the wall is open, shouldn't they run water through the showerhead pipe to make sure that the system is working correctly and leak free?
homebound, the elbow is behind the wall. a pipe runs out the wall form the elbow in order to support a rather large rainhead.
if that makes sense?
"while the wall is open, shouldn't they run water through the shower head pipe to make sure that the system is working correctly and leak free? "
Put it in the contract be prepared to pay.
The shower trim kit is not inhaled yet (handle, decorative plate, shower head (it creates the back pressure that would cause a leak).
I only do a few hundred sweat joints a year and cannot recall a leak.
The full time guys I hire for larger jobs do thousands of joints a year, without a leak.
Some of the older guys would probably consider jumping off a bridge if they had a leak.

Unlocking the potential of your employees: the not-so-secret secrets of motivational leadership.
Many civil servants will recognize this scenario as a disaster recovery effort, which it was (the episode transpired in the wake of Hurricane Ivan last fall in northern Florida). But this wasn't a team of civil servants. It was a group of six high-level managers accustomed to working in nice offices in a large organization. They had mobilized overnight from several cities nationwide to help a colleague whose home had been severely damaged.
Admittedly, it is relatively easy to be motivated to work hard in such extraordinary circumstances. Generating that same kind of enthusiasm is more challenging in typical workday situations that lack life or death urgency. However, the good news is that skillful leadership can replicate in the workplace many of the elements that produce the powerful motivation that emerges in extraordinary situations. Managers who understand these elements are those whose work groups are productive and engaged in all situations. Managers who don't understand them tend to attribute lack of desired results to "bad attitude" or "lack of motivation" or to other conditions they believe are out of their ability to influence. So just what is it that successful managers understand about motivating others?
Leadership is about executing strategy through others. Arguably, the most demanding aspect of the job of leadership is to get people to do what they are expected to do, and to do it well and with sufficient motivation to surmount the obstacles encountered along the way. Successful execution begins with understanding why people do what they do. Managers whose staffs work with commitment tend to understand that most people have a level of intrinsic motivation that must be sustained. According to Lionel Tiger, a professor at Rutgers University, "Leaders often forget that people arrive on the scene predisposed to doing a good job. People, like young baseball players, are hard-wired to want to be sent into the game." When managers are unaware of this reality, they often unwittingly engage in practices that actually drain employees of the motivation they brought with them to the job. This article offers some insights into how to obtain and sustain employee commitment.
Just exactly why motivation occurs and how leaders and organizations influence it has been the subject of decades of evolving analysis. Perhaps the earliest modern theorist on human motivation was Freud, who argued that people are basically lazy and must be coerced to work. Indeed, it is reported that an early 20th century training manual for U.S. Army officers warned that "enlisted men are cunning and stupid and not to be trusted." But Freud's theory has long been discounted, and common sense alone says that if it were true, managers would spend all of their time watching people who refuse to cooperate.
In the 1950s, psychologist Abraham Maslow developed his famous "hierarchy of needs" that he theorized must be met, more or less in sequence, before people are able to ascend to the next higher level. Often depicted as a pyramid, the needs begin with basic physiological requirements and move on to needs for safety, belonging, and esteem. At the top of the pyramid is self-actualization, a state of having reached full potential where work is done for the joy of self-fulfillment. While this theory is incomplete in many ways--for example, it doesn't readily explain why the executive team members put themselves in harm's way and tolerated miserable working conditions to help their colleague after the hurricane--it is still useful because it suggests that people become distracted by the quest for more basic needs if certain foundations are not in place. For example, employees who feel unappreciated and undervalued (an unfulfilled need for esteem) will often not feel satisfied at work and thus may not work to their full potential.
Later, Frederick Herzberg developed a theory that "satisfiers" and "dissatisfiers" in the workplace respectively create and erode motivation. David McClellan hypothesized that people are motivated by achievement, power, and affiliation. All of these theories offer bits of useful insight into human motivation, but none is comprehensive enough to fully define the range of factors that governs, and influences, human behavior in the workplace.
Contemporary students of human motivation believe that no simple "theory of everything" exists to account for all of the behaviors of all of the people. One thing that is clear, however, is that a complex interplay of intrinsic factors like personality, self-perception, emotional development, and cognition, and extrinsic factors like culture, the situation, and organizational practices, all play roles in workplace performance. If just one generalization can be drawn from recent study and experience, it is that people will contribute more if they are treated as respected, valued adults who have individual motives, abilities, and pref.
In addition, researchers generally agree on three additional observations about human behavior as it relates to motivation:
* Managers or others can't really motivate people. Since motivation comes from within, managers can only create an environment that sustains motivation and eliminate factors that degrade it.
* People are motivated by self-interest. This does not necessarily mean that humans are selfish. Rather, it means that people choose actions that yield some sort of benefit for themselves or that support their interests. Managers can attempt to rationalize, cajole, make promises, and even threaten in order to persuade people to perform as requested. But in the end, the job is easier when an employee can see how the organization's goals align in some way with his or her goals and aspirations.
* Individual people are motivated by different things. While a few generalizations can be made about factors that sustain motivation for most people, as will be described later in this article, individuals are moved by different things, based on personality, experience, life circumstances, and other conditions and characteristics. Effective managers learn what individual employees value--it may be things like security, autonomy, competence, visibility, a promotion, extra time off, or any of dozens of other factors --and help employees see how their own needs can be met by committing wholeheartedly to the job.
Based on these views about motivation and on the generalization that people who are treated respectfully will be productive, it stands to reason that leaders should make it their business to remove impediments to motivation. Too often, organizations and managers make it difficult for even the best employees to maintain their intrinsic motivation. Employees in all types of organizations are routinely treated in ways that are anything but adult and respectful. In fact, some workplace practices actually encourage passive, dependent behavior that robs people of self-respect, erodes the confidence required for consistent high performance, and induces a kind of organizationally sanctioned mediocrity. As a puzzled manager in an organization marked by these characteristics wondered, "How can my employees, who can't seem to do anything without my say-so, be the same people who manage household budgets, organize their kids' soccer leagues, and run fundraisers for their churches?"
A case in point is the story of an intelligent, highly skilled craft laborer who has been employed by a large city for more than 25 years. This man says he learned long ago to do exactly what his boss instructs, no more and no less. He explains that when he first began his job, he put extra effort into every project, suggested improvements, and sometimes did more than he was asked to do. In most cases, he says, he was not thanked for his effort and his recommendations went virtually ignored. In some cases, he was actually reprimanded for taking unapproved initiative and being "too self-directed."
These messages, he says, taught him what was expected. So for more than 25 years he has been faithfully reporting to work every day but never doing anything other than what he is explicitly directed to do. If what he is asked to do will actually result in errors, he complies anyway because his boss doesn't like to be questioned. "It's just easier that way," he explains. "If things go wrong, my boss takes the heat and he can't come back at me for it because 1 was following his orders." Naturally, not all employees will respond in this way to such treatment. But most people will certainly be discouraged from committing as deeply to their work as they would have under different circumstances.
De-motivators like the ones described in this man's story come in many guises, ranging from the practice of ignoring people and their suggestions to micromanaging projects and denying decision making authority. They come in the forms of withholding feedback and compliments, failure to acknowledge concerns, and reluctance to address and correct the poor work performance of others. They show up as giving people ambiguous, nonnegotiable, or unreasonable goals; as not sharing information; as not allowing people to develop their skills, apply their abilities, and learn. Fortunately, most or all of these de-motivators can be eliminated simply by adopting tried and true good management practices that every leader can use to be more successful at implementing through others.
But before explicitly describing these management practices, consider again the experiences of the executives who transformed themselves into a high-performing hurricane disaster relief team. Why were they motivated to work with such dedication and enthusiasm? Not surprisingly, most of the factors that tend to nurture motivation in the workplace were present for those three days in Florida.
First of all, the executives understood what had to be done. In workplace terminology, their goal was clear and unambiguous. Additionally, they recognized that they were doing something important and purposeful. They knew why the goal existed and they knew the consequences of meeting or not meeting it.
Secondly, every individual's contributions were critically needed throughout the effort; everyone participated fully. Furthermore, there was no political jockeying about who would play what role and what job belonged to whom. People simply did what was necessary when it was necessary. Some specialization occurred, based on skills, interest, or circumstance, but everyone felt ownership for the entire project and worked together. The executives also gave each other feedback. They reported that they found themselves complimenting and thanking each other and making helpful suggestions.
Finally, the team members set their own work objectives, determined the order in which to tackle the many tasks involved in the cleanup, and had full autonomy to decide how they would carry out the work.
Managers who can replicate these conditions through good management are those whose employees work with commitment and produce consistently excellent results. Effective managerial leadership--the kind that sustains motivation and produces desired results--is a daily process that consists of four key activities (Exhibit 1):
Communicating expectations. In the workplace, the purpose, goals, and performance expectations for any given project are seldom as obvious as they were for the hurricane relief team. So effective managers must expend a good deal of energy communicating what needs to be done, why it needs to be done, and the consequences that will follow actions. When people know why a job is important and how their efforts impact and contribute to outcomes, they will almost always be willing to perform. When communicating expectations, effective managers often invite people to collaborate with them to set goals because people tend to buy in to what they help create.
Delegating "how" decisions. Employees who feel responsible and accountable for their performance are almost always more committed to what they are doing. Instead of specifying exactly how a job should be done, effective managers concentrate on explaining what needs to be done, leaving employees to make as many decisions as possible about how to do it. Of course, when managers delegate, they must ensure that the employees have the skills, competence, tools, and information required to perform the task. These managers also recognize that many people want to learn and improve their skills, so delegating tasks that stretch and expand people's abilities can both sustain individual motivation and strengthen the composite capabilities of an entire staff.
Observing performance and providing frequent feedback. Lack of feedback is one of the most frequently cited complaints employees make about their work conditions. People want and need to know how they are doing. So effective managers pay attention to employees and get to know them, noting strengths, interests, aspirations, and improvement opportunities. They also give employees immediate feedback when they see the need for corrective action or performance coaching. Feedback and coaching should be based on observable work performance and should be delivered in an objective way that avoids blame or shame and that demonstrates support for and confidence in the individual.
Recognizing performance. A manager once explained that he didn't praise employees because he believed doing so would create a sense of perfection and indolence. Another manager said she resented complimenting people for doing what they get paid to do. Contrary to what these managers believe, a sincere, deserved compliment for good performance goes a long way toward demonstrating respect and appreciation for people, sustaining their intrinsic motivation, and reinforcing desired performance. Compliments are never gratuitous or patronizing when they praise specific performance and explain why the performance is appreciated.
The bottom line is that the key to keeping people motivated at work is not some arcane secret, nor is it an especially difficult skill to master. It simply requires treating employees like trusted, valued adults and using management practices that clarify goals and expectations and provide people with autonomy, feedback, and appreciation. One other element is required, however, and that is that leaders themselves demonstrate enthusiasm and the human touch. They must maintain their own energy and dedication to their jobs and their people. They must be willing to relinquish some control and authority. They must be empathetic to the impact of workplace demands on their people. And most importantly, they must be human enough to stop pretending to know everything and courageous enough to apologize when they make mistakes. These behaviors alone will generate a level of employee commitment that no amount of money can buy.
RELATED ARTICLE: Does money motivate?
Money is an unreliable performance motivator unless it is an exceptionally large amount or if a large percentage of total income is directly proportional to effort, as in sales commissions. Herzberg and others suggest that when compensation is perceived as being inadequate or unfair it can de-motivate people and contribute to decisions to leave an employer. However, pay that is perceived as being fair and adequate will not motivate most people, and if it does, the effect has short duration. Few employees are willing to work harder for the promise of a raise or a bonus, unless the amount is substantial. Even fewer are willing to continue working hard simply because they already have received a raise or bonus. Factors other than money are more reliable for sustaining motivation.

CNBC viewers have been glued to the Senate Banking Committee's hearing on Bear Stearns all day (unless you turned the channel and as loyal viewers you'd never do that right?). Meanwhile there's been another feisty hearing underway on Capitol Hill as the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee tries to examine the impact of "speculative" investors on the price of oil.
This morning traders on the NYMEX floor were buzzing about the oil plunge under $100 a barrel, perhaps marking the bursting of the commodities bubble. After all, the U.S.dollar index had popped over 1 percent, as the dollar rallies sharply against the Euro and other currencies...
Investors who put their money in oil in the first quarter ended up putting their money in a winning asset class. It was certainly a good move considering--before today--oil futures were up 10 percent, while the broader S&P was down by that same amount. Even after today's remarkable $4 plunge, prices have posted a gain of nearly 6 percent this quarter.
Recent volatility for grains and oilseeds have increased significantly. And that's drawn increased market scrutiny along with it, sparking an initiative for wider trading limits from the CME. The CFTC gave its stamp of approval, making the changes effective today after the close.
Oil bulls were definitely back in full force today, pushing crude prices up nearly $5 once again to almost $106/barrel. The sharp drop in gasoline and distillate supplies and extended weakness in the dollar against the Euro and so many other currencies help fuel the surge not only in oil prices, but also products.
We might all be paying 75 cents more a gallon for gas if refiners don't play nice. That's what Mark Cooper, author of a Consumer Federation Report to be released later today, says. It's the first time in 8 years that there is downward pressure on gas prices: demand is down, inventory is up, and ethanol is in the mix, he points out.
Has the commodities rout run its course? Crude oil is slightly higher this morning--so is heating oil and RBOB gasoline and natural gas continue to be the strongest parts of the energy complex.
The slick slide for oil, gold and other commodities over the past 24 hours has been as dramatic as the mercurial rise to record heights. With oil below $100, the next leg down could be a steep one. Looking back to the lows of this year, many traders point to technical charts that indicate oil prices could return to the February lows in the mid-$80 range.
This post is from CNBC energy producer, Judy Gee. Record crude oil prices and talks of $4 gasoline aside, there's a quieter, more subtle dilemma lurking in diesel. Record pump values for diesel surfaced on February 21 and prices have hit daily records ever since. Gone are the days when diesel was cheaper than gasoline.
Black gold and gold futures are significantly higher after yesterday's rout. Here's what the energy market seems to think will happen: The Fed will cut rates by 75 basis points (maybe even 100, a few think it could be 50). If the cut is as massive as some suspect, the dollar will weaken even further against the Euro and other currencies.

Need help choosing granite - among other things:)
We are planning a mini remodel on the kitchen and family room of a 6 year old house we just recently purchased. The cabinets are a light honey maple and even though I would prefer something darker, they will have to stay as will the tile floors which are killing my feet:( The things that I would like to do are: replace the island counter with possibly a light creamy granite (the laminate is burned in many places) and replace the perimeter counters too but I am undecided as far as material (my budget may decide for me.) I would also like to add pendant lights over the island and new hardware to the cabs. For the hardware I was thinking of ORB but my faucet will likely be chrome, is that a no no? There are some pendant lights in the Pottery Barn catalog that are hammered metal that I love but they are a whiter metal also. This room has an attached dining area with a small chandelier that I would like to replace also.
Here is a picture of the kitchen:
Thank you in advance for any help you lovely folks may be able to provide, I have thoroughly enjoyed reading these boards and learning from you all!!

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
23 Jun 2013 10:57 GMT | Human Rights, United Kingdom, Islam, Religion, Middle East
Is there really a problem with Islam today? Critics see Muslim women as downtrodden and sectarian conflict dominates the headlines, but for many Muslims this is a gross misrepresentation.
In this episode of Head to Head at the Oxford Union, Mehdi Hasan challenges controversial Canadian author Irshad Manji, writer of The Trouble with Islam Today and also Allah, Liberty and Love on the need to reform Islam, the notion of Ijtihad, the problem of Islamophobia and what Muslims need to own-up to.
Manji is an author and broadcaster, but also the director of the Moral Courage Project. She strongly believes that Islam needs reform. Mehdi Hasan challenges Irshad, asking where the problem lies, and whether critics sometimes encourage Islamophobia.
"Muslims are the trouble with Islam today," says Manji. "We have allowed tribal culture to colonise the faith of Islam. It's the behaviour of Muslims that defines, in every generation, what Islam is."
And joining the discussion are: Shaykh Ibrahim Mogra who is chair of the Inter Faith Relations Committee, and serves as an imam and scholar in Leicester; Halla Diyab, an award-winning Syrian writer, filmmaker, broadcaster and women's rights activist, and the author of controversial TV dramas such as Beautiful Maidens and Your Rightful Disposal; and Myriam Francois-Cerrah, an academic and journalist focusing on Islamic movements and political culture.
