cleaning out old pipes
Hello All,
My dad has an old house with old pipes, mostly metal. He's got hard water and uses a water softener (I think it's the Culligan Man). It is a two-story house with a basement. I am sure the pipes are filled with lime. His shower is especially lame, and the dishwasher has begun to not clean so well. No way to run two things at once--even flushing a toilet greatly reduces pressure at kitchen sink. My question is: Can the old pipes be cleaned out in some way? Years ago a guy suggested pouring vinegar in at the service entrance and letting it sit awhile. I have always wondered whether it would work. Is this crazy? What about Lime Away or some similar product? Would terribleness result? I am guessing it would be several thousand dollars to re-plumb the house, so I am looking for a less-expensive alternative. Many thanks for your expertise.
If its galvanized piping (sounds like it) then the best option is to replace them. There are services out there that claim to clean and reline the pipes, but I have no confidence in them, nor have I ever talked to a plumber who does.
Thank you ,jason1083, for your help. Is it because Lime Away is poisonous, or because it eats the metal, or something else? Would vinegar be bad also? I know next-to-nothing about this, so I am just curious. I know he needs to re-plumb the house, and so does he. He'll bite the bullet eventually; I've just always been curious what a plumber would say to this question. Thanks for your time.
On a long straight run of galvanized we once put a thin coiled plumbers snake on a 1/2" drill and ran it through the pipe...stopping every foot or so and turning on the water to wash out the debris. Now this was on a straight run from the cellar out to the street on a municipal water system. We were gettting almost no water and so had a choice of either trying to clean out the main supply or replacing it. Our city won't let anyone touch the main except their own water department and we didn't tell them about this operation. Anyway, this got the water flowing and it was still going strong after 8 years. We had replaced all the water piping inside of the house so the stopped up piping in there wasn't an issue for us.
That is a groovy idea, coolvt. We may try that also. Alas I am afraid the slowness is in the pipes inside the house. I guess it could work inside too.
I just read the post from today about jetting out sewer lines with a pressure washer. If we could do that with the incoming pipes it would be swell! Thanks for the replies.
The reason lime away or any chemicals should not be used is their toxicity. It is foolish to deliberately introduce contaminants (be they chemical or other)into a potable water system. The codes have gone a long way to prevent accidental introduction of contaminants (back flow preventers, vacuum breakers). The thing about the vinegar would be getting enough of a concentration all the way through the pipe. As for your ideas about the plumbers snake or high pressure water, the snake will not negotiate turns in such a small pipe. With high pressure water it will not do much, the junk that forms in galvanized piping is years of hardened mineral deposits. Also with either method you risk moving the debris upstream and blocking the pipe. Also consider accessibility, old galvanized piping does not come apart easily and is impossible to get back together without leaks.
Yeah, I figured it couldn't be cleaned out with the pressure washer. I know it's old, hard stuff. It's hard enough to just try to scrape it out of the faucet aerators! Also thank you very much for your details about why Lime Away and vinegar are bad. Common sense should have told me, but I let myself get sidetracked by the idea of a cheap alternative. The only way around it is through it, as they say. I appreciate your help.
Stop before you do anything, get a plumber in that can Electric Eel and use a High Pressure Water Jet to clear the lines. Then make sure the same plumber can perform a CCTV Survey (sends a camera down the line) that will tell u exactly why your pipes aren't running well. I bet it is because the pipes are misaligned, broken or have tree root infiltration. With a house this old even if you fix the problem temporarily (by cleaning) then u will eventually have to replace the pipes and great cost. Now there is technology that Relines the pipes. That is, puts a new pipe within the old pipe with no or minimal digging using a felt core and an adhesive. If u get the right system this is a permanent solution saving you thousands of dollars at the same time increases your flow of water because the new pipe is very smooth. Look up google for blocked drains or Pipe Lining.
Well, alexbar001, this does look interesting--I've looked up a couple sites about this and it sounds like it is much less invasive than tearing out the old pipes. I think it could be a good alternative for my dad. My biggest concern is that they couldn't clean the pipes out well enough to make the relining effective--the water pressure has been bad in that house for twenty years, getting a little worse each year. I appreciate you turning me on to this new technology, though--very cool! I'll start asking around about this. Thanks for the reply.
alexbar001: the methods you mention are methods for clearing SEWER LINES. I do not know of any plumbers snake of any kind that will negotiate a 90 degree turn in a 3/4" pipe.
Also the problem of tree root infiltration is typically with sewer lines. In a water supply line the force of the flowing water would likely keep the root from blocking the pipe. But first you would have to have a leak, which would likely be evidenced by noticeable water or a decrease in water pressure. Also a typical residential water service in under 1" in diameter, very difficult for tree roots to find.
Also if the problem is inside the structure (which I think it is). Then tree roots are in no way to blame.
You are right jason1083, the pipes are the supply lines. I am now of the opinion that alexbar001 is trying to sell stuff. Another poster on another thread noted that he just registered yesterday, and has posted to several threads with basically the same message. Thanks for not saying I'm an idiot. I'm not but I am pretty ignorant about plumbing.
Old galvanized water pipe is likely to be rather fragile and brittle. If you start fooling around with things like snakes or other contraptions, you're likely to break or crack a pipe or a joint. Then you not only have clogged pipe, but you've got a plumbing emergency on your hands. It's very difficult to plan repairs or plumbing upgrades (or shop for the best bid) when water is gushing through a broken pipe!
The only real solution to your problem is getting the house replumbed. If your local plumbing code allows it, you might consider replacing the old galvy with PEX. It's usually easier to retrofit because it's flexible and doesn't require sweating joints.
If PEX isn't allowed in your area, then copper is the best choice, although there are some places that will permit rigid plastic (PCV) for supply plumbing. Shop around to see what's possible and get at least 3 proposals from reputable plumbers.
Thank you jamesk. I thought about the fragility when I was thinking about "Jetting" the pipes with high pressure water (something those pipes have not seen in a long, long time!). And a good point about how difficult decision-making would be in an emergency. We will just have to bite the bullet on this one. I will check about whether PEX is permitted in his area. It will be a big job regardless of what type of pipe. I appreciate the help on these forums.
Before you attempt to use any chemical cleaners here is a little known fact that you might want to consider.
The primary purpose of the Plumbing Industry is to protect the public water supply and provide a means of safely disposing of effluent waste. To that end it must be noted that the Plumbing Code is not a building code, it is a health code.
In most jurisdictions a Plumbing Inspector is a badge toting, sworn member of law enforcement and he/she have full arrest powers for serious violations of the plumbing codes, and if pushed they will not hesitate to give you the temporary use of their handcuffs.
Intentionally introducing any chemical into the potable water supply or creating a cross connection between a municipal water supply and a private well, which could potentially backflow into a municipal main is not only prohibited, it could land you in prison for up to ten years.
Jason1083: There are Electric Eels that can be used for a 90deg 4" pipe as it was used on ours (not sure on 3" as they don't have 3" in Australia) Our problem was also in the supply line and guess what - had tree roots. I'm not an expert but tree roots are pretty strong and the water pressure would have to be pretty strong to prevent tree roots wouldn't u think?
Also, who knows the companies might not even be able to line galvanised pipe, i don't know I only had clay pipes.
I have also posted several threads because they all seem to have a problem that could be possible caused by the reasons I have mentioned and am I only allowed to post things on different days, not all at once?. Isn't it good to look at all options?. Never mind, thought I was helping, you won't hear from me again!!! sorry for trying to save you money! (Hard to sell services from Australia)
I know this is really old, but I can't not say this. Supply lines are not and will not be made of clay. As someone posted earlier those are sewer lines. Tree roots make their way into clay sewer lines all the time. Yes, they can be lined to prevent storm water and roots from making their way into your sewer line, but the point of this is to keep the non-pressurized waste water flowing OUT of your home and not backing up into your floor drains or elsewhere.
If a tree root somehow made it's way into a supply line (the water coming IN to your house), you would have quite a mess in your yard as the 50+ psi in the municipal water system would shoot water all the way up to the surface of the ground and out. It's very unlikely that you could be unaware that the main water supply (service) line into your house has broken.
I've never heard of a tree root breaking through a metal supply line. They do break, but typically not because of roots. They fail because of corrosion, bad fittings at the city shut off valve (b-box), freezing or the earth shifting underground and shearing the pipe. Sewer lines get clogged with tree roots all the time and our country is full of clay lines that have cracked/separated/collapsed/failed over time. Nowadays various forms of plastic are a more typical material to use for installing sewer lines because they are not expected to degrade the way that we now know that clay will.
I too am interested in whether it's possible to clean out clogged galvanized lines without replacing them, but it doesn't seem like a reliable method of doing this exists.
I'd like to know what the original poster ended up doing.

Primaries held yesterday in AR, KY, OR and PA – voters on both sides shooting down candidates endorsed by both the President and top senate republican Mitch McConnell.
In Pennsylvania – 5 term incumbent Senator Arlen Spector – rejected for the democratic nomination.
Not a surprise – according to Jeff Birnbaum – Fox News Political Analyst – speaking with WREC Memphis, TN:
In Arkansas – there will be a runoff on June 8th – as Senator Blanche Lincoln was unable to win a majority of the vote against Lt. Gov Bill Halter. The winner will face the republican nominee – Representative John Boozman in November.
In Kentucky – Tea Party favorite Rand Paul – the son of Texas Congressman Ron Paul – winning the republican nomination for Senate.
Also making some buzz today…

Virgil's IVth Eclogue is one of the most intriguing, enigmatic and, at the same time, most successful pieces of Roman literature. It speaks of a mysterious puer, an extraordinary boy destined to restore peace and prosperity among men. But who is this puer? There was a great deal of speculation as to his identity even in ancient times, in the wake of a mysterious prophecy from the Sybil which left open all kinds of possibilities. Some even considered Octavian Augustus to be a potential candidate. This, until a later Roman emperor decided that in actual fact the boy could only be the Saviour Himself.

Daily Facial Cleanser for Normal to Oily Skin is a standard, detergent-based cleanser that can work for most skin types except for dry to very dry skin. It removes makeup nicely, far better than the original Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser, and doesn't irritate the eyes or dry out the skin. It does contain fragrance, which seems a misguided idea for this company.
Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser for normal to oily skin is effective for normal, combination or oily skin. Its non-irritating formula is designed to remove surface oils, dirt and makeup without leaving skin feeling tight or overly dry. This foaming skin cleanser leaves skin with a fresh feeling, doesn't leave behind irritating residue and is non-comedogenic.
Water, Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate, Acrylates/Steareth-20 Methacrylate Copolymer, Glycerin, PEG-200 Hydrogenated Glyceryl Palmate, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Butylene Glycol, PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate, Phenoxyethanol, Masking Fragrance, Panthenol, PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Disodium EDTA, Methylparaben.
Cetaphil At-A-Glance
Strengths: Inexpensive; mostly fragrance-free products; affordable and widely available; offers complete ingredient lists on its Web site; the sunscreens offer sufficient UVA protection.
Weaknesses: No anti-acne products; no state-of-the-art moisturizers; the original Gentle Skin Cleanser is a dated formula that isn't nearly as elegant or efficacious as many other water-soluble cleansers.
This familiar, widely distributed skin-care collection is manufactured by Galderma, the same company that markets the prescription products Differin and MetroGel. Given the dermatology heritage of Galderma (the company's Web site mentions this consistently), it's surprising the Cetaphil line hasn't advanced beyond the basics. Yes, most of what's available is a safe bet for those with sensitive skin, but it's disappointing that their SPF-rated products utilize active ingredients that can be a problem for sensitive skin. A mineral-based sunscreen would be a welcome addition for a line that stresses its value for sensitive skin!
We'd have expected the company to keep pace with the latest research into what it takes to create a truly great moisturizer, but that hasn't occurred either, and it could be done while still keeping the products suitable for those with sensitive skin.
As for their original Gentle Skin Cleanser, it is no longer one we recommend. Why? Although we were a champion of this cleanser for years (back when hardly anyone knew about it and good water-soluble cleansers were scarce), the formula has become dated and just isn't worth strong consideration over several other cleansers at the drugstore.

If you are looking to this line because you have sensitive skin or want a gentle line, this is NOT for you. Masking fragrance is in the daily cleanser. Burned my eyes and face for hours. They have lost a long time customer. Buyer beware.
I've been using Cetaphil since I was probably 15 or so (aka seven years) and have never had a problem with it. It takes off my makeup, including eye makeup, and didn't leave my skin dry. However, I just bought a new bottle after finishing the one I had for probably six months - I don't use a lot of it - and the fragrance is awful. It makes my sensitive skin burn and my nose itch. And it lingers! Why they would mess with a good formula, I don't know, but I won't be buying it anymore.
If you can tolerate the smell it's an ok cleanser. I bought this one because it is cheaper then CeraVe which I love but I had to throw it away due to the strong fragrance.
Started using this based on dermatologist reccomendation and it is so gentle and cleansing at the same time. Every once in a while I try to change things up with another brand but always go back to this one, others are too drying or leave a weird film on my face. Can't live without this one!
Whoa! There is so much fragrance in this cleanser. I could still smell it on my face 30 minutes after washing. It also burned a little bit but I just started tretinoin again so my skin is sensitive. It did take off my makeup and sunscreen though. Overall not impressed.
I have oily skin that still sometimes breaks out (late 30's), but I am also very sensitive and many products give me redness, rashes, or pimples. This cleanser didn't make me react, however, it did not clean my face! Never before have I experienced a product that consistently left an OILY MARK on my pillowcase after cleansing before bed. That is not normal for me. I switched to another recommended drugstore choice (CeraVe for oily skin) and that has worked well. Acne.org cleanser also worked ok.
I used this when I had breakouts as recommended by friends and some celebrities using this in their 40s. However, I find this product not able to remove all the residue on my face and I did not have a habit of putting make up on daily. By residue, I mean my face does not feel fresh after cleansing, it still felt oily especially around the nose and forehead. I am a combination type of skin. Hope this helps! By all means, this product is good for people with sensitive skin

After moving down here a few months ago I have to say this is hands down my favorite local pizza place! They do forget my ranch every time though......BUT THE PIZZA is good enough I will continue to order it
Posted by john ruggieri on 01/17/2015
Had the pizza slices. Excellent crust and toppings.

I just moved to the Keys two months ago and I am not a fan of seafood. I wanted to find a good pizza place nearby. I have tried a few places and wasn't impressed but finally found quality pizza from Slice of Paradise! My kids also really loved their chicken fingers. I have not tried the wings or sandwiches yet, but when I do I will update my review!
Posted by Spyder Lady on 07/08/2014
We ordered Chicken Fingers and ate it right there in the restaurant on July 5, 2014. They were delicious and the price was right for the amount that was given. I figured we would have gotten 2-3, but no, they gave us 5. That was way more than I could eat! Oh, did I say it was delicious and hot!!! Yummy! There was one particular lady working there, maybe the owner, that was very nice. She was busy, but what little visiting we did....I really enjoyed visiting with her. We were just traveling through the area. Our home base is Kansas, but temporarily in St. Petersburg, FL. If we ever travel this way again. We will eat here again! Thank You, Slice of Paradise!!!

Been getting pizza delivered almost every Tuesday. Pie always delivered hot and fresh, Have only had one wrong order and received a free pizza next time we ordered, not sure about the other negative reports, maybe they are use to big company fake pizzas not real hand made pies. Only improvement would be a larger sitting area. Also has a boat dock service for local boaters
Posted by lindsay on 10/18/2013
I had ordered a philly cheese steak no mushrooms no peppers extra onions & black olives and Bbq chips from slice of paradise & it was fantastic! Everything I ordered was delived hot, fresh, correct & before given time. The delivery driver was awesome! Very sweet and very nice on the phone (she took my order) I will definitely order again! Thanks.
Posted by Jim on 10/10/2013
We ordered a couple of times (giving them the benefit of doubt) and the pizza was always unappetizing. The dough was way too thick, the cheese was some cheap mild cheddar (if even that), the sauce was sour and there was not even a handful of mushrooms. The person taking the order was rude and we waited for 1 hour. Left alone that the described above was our 2nd pizza, since the first one came with all the cheese slid of the whole pizza, so the delivery person took it back and we waited for another hour for a replacement. The owners did not apologize or offer any discount.

Focus Features has debuted the trailer for director Michael Cuesta's thriller, KILLER THE MESSENGER. The film, starring Jeremy Renner, Rosemarie DeWitt, Ray Liotta, Tim Blake Nelson, Barry Pepper, Oliver Platt, Michael Sheen, Paz Vega, Michael Kenneth Williams, Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Andy Garcia, hits theaters on October 10th.
A two-time Academy Award nominee, Renner leads an all-star cast in a dramatic thriller based on the true story of Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Gary Webb. Webb stumbles onto a story which leads to the shady origins of the men who started the crack epidemic on the nation's streets…and further alleges that the CIA was aware of major dealers who were smuggling cocaine into the U.S., and using the profits to arm rebels fighting in Nicaragua.
Despite warnings from drug kingpins and CIA operatives to stop his investigation, Webb keeps digging to uncover a conspiracy with explosive implications. His journey takes him from the prisons of California to the villages of Nicaragua to the highest corridors of power in Washington, D.C. – and draws the kind of attention that threatens not just his career, but his family and his life.

They walked upright because they wanted to get to the Moon. Critters been wanting to get to the Moon since Octopuses were dragged around in the tides by the Moon's gravity.
My favorite thing about this creation malarkey is the strange way in which believers are willing to battle it out with evolution based (in the case of Christians) on the first chapter of a very old book which if you keep reading has a lot of preposterous ideas (the earth is 6000 years old anyone!) which they never seem to bring up. But hey it's a good first chapter one of the great works of fiction.
I always thought humans walking upright was related to their ever more complex reliance on their hands to manipulate tools and carry items. Why else would humans be walking everywhere and not just on the plains?
Actually the best explanation I have heard, is that walking upright simply uses less calories that walking on all fours.
I would just like to add a thought that being bi-pedal makes it more dfficult for predators to identify humans as protential prey in the long distance environment of the Savannah. This must have improved the survival rate of those who stood up on their hind legs as well as enabling them to hunt their prey in turn. If you don't believe me try an experiment in open moorland It's very difficult to see a long thin human that twists and turns as it moves rather than a solid lump of animal on four legs.
If being bi-pedal is the evolutionary ideal in grasslands, why didn't lions, zebras, snakes, rhinos etc., become bipedal? To call evolutionary day-dreaming science is really a crock. Evolution belongs in the same spittoon as anthropogenic global warming theory, phrenology, cold fusion, area 51 UFOs, Mayan calendar secrets, ancient astronauts, etc., etc., etc. In fact the other junk sciences I listed all have more factual evidence supporting them than Darwinian evolution. There are no holes in the evolutionary record; it is comprised of one big massive hole of no evidence.
lions, zebras, snakes, rhinos etc. didn't have opposable thumbs.
i don't understand the purpose of an argument against evolution other than from an ideological basis. evolution is simply a description of the changes in groups of organisms, or speciation, that occurs due to environmental pressures such as resource availability, habitat changes, etc.
evolutionary theory makes no argument regarding the existence of a diety; it makes no attempt to explain the origins of life. it simply attempts to explain phenotypic variety as recorded by terra firma and as displayed by the current variety of obviously interrelated organisms.
Who said anything about a diety? I am basing my beliefs on science. The laws of probability and thermodynamics say Darwinian evolution and its conjoined twin spontaneous generation are impossible. Sure living organisms change; look at the variety of dogs that have been bread. But they are still dogs. There are zero, nada, none 'transitional' species anywhere in the record, let alone human. If the theory were true there should be innumerable transitionals. And I disagree respectfully about evolution not making any claims about origins. Spontaneous generation of life is a cornerstone principle.
The classic Finch example of bird beaks getting larger during drouth fell apart when the rains returned and the beaks reverted to their usual size.
I see nothing obviously interrelated about any species. There are signs of a common designer but horses can't breed with cows, birds can't breed with lizards.
Until someone can show me how a simple protein can assemble itself against a improbability of 10^900 (more normal proteins would be many orders of magnitude mroe improbable), I will not be a believer.
If you have no opinion as to a diety, then why suggest signs of a "common designer"?
As far as transitionals, all members of all species are transitionals unless they die out without leaving offspring. The fossil record contains but a tiny sample of the vast number of the inhabitants that have existed on this planet and is therefore necessarily incomplete. Evolution focuses on continued and trackable changes in groups of similar living organisms, not on changes in individual living organisms within those organisms' lifespans, unless those changes enhance or detract from the capability to produce viable offspring, offspring which in turn are capable of propagating unique traits, whether genotypic or phenotypic, that random mutation or recombination may have spawned.
Saying that we cannot speculate that current species developed from previous forms, with which they have lost the ability to mate and produce viable offspring, is akin to saying that all modern languages cannot be assumed to have developed from previously spoken archaic languages because we do not have a complete written record of every word used in the vocabularies linking the modern version to the archaic; and that in order for two sets of languages to be linked, despite profound changes in form and use over time, modern speakers and archaic speakers should still be able to engage in productive conversation.
You also specifically use the term Darwinian. The seminal work by Darwin addressed the titular Origin of Species, not the origin of life. Though Darwin did speculate as to possible origins of life on earth in some "warm little pond" in his private correspondence, I don't believe he addressed the issue in his published descriptions of the processes attributable to evolution via natural selection.
One of the beauties and strengths of science is that one can accept some of its theories as probable fact without accepting all of its theories as absolute fact. Personally, I consider the processes and mechanisms considered as highly probable in the formations of species by current evolutionary thought, to be reasonable and rational. I also find the evidence present in the fossil record and in contemporary DNA studies of genetic similarities between variant modern organisms to be compelling evidence of interrelatedness.
As to your canine example: you are certainly correct that many variants of canids exist -- Wolves, domestic dogs, foxes etc. In fact, domestic dogs are an excellent example of speciation in process. There's a reason that you don't see beagle/Irish Setter hybrids; the pairing of these two breeds rarely if ever produces offspring. If all other dogs in the world excepting these two breeds, were, sadly, genocided and these two breeds were further given a thousand, or thousand thousand, year period of geographic isolation due to some regional or global habitat or geologic change, it seems possible, arguably probable, that two new species of canid would develop -- just as wolves, dogs, dingos, coyotes and foxes have themselves developed as distinct species over the course of eons.
Where have you got the information that there are no 'transitional' species? Both the living record and the fossil record are full of intermediate forms showing the path that morphology has taken. If we look at the fossil species that likely belong to the human lineage, we see plenty of evidence of transitional forms - for example, animals that used both quadrupedal and bipedal movement (e.g. Ardipithecus). We have also been testing the theory of evolution long enough to have seen it in action in living species - for example in cichlid fish where genetic mutations causing changes in body colour lead to a population split and eventually two reproductively-isolated populations.
It is also important to remember that the concept of a 'species' does not exist in nature, merely a hugely diverse range of forms that we have categorised ourselves in order to understand them.
Thank you for the thoughtful dialog. It is easy to get personal about this topic and that gets no where fast! I realize that classical Darwinian evolutionary theory does not address spontaneous generation but the two have been inseparably linked to the point that you mention one, the other is assumed. In fact for one to be applicable, the other must also follow. Just watch any Science Channel show; they eventually get around to, a)inserting Darwinian evolution/spontaneous generation as the cause of everything and, b) man caused global warming as the end of everything. Just kidding but there is a kernel of truth you must admit.
I believe some intelligence is required to answer what we see. Call it whatever you might, a deity, a central force, a singularity protocol, the science demands it. In addition to the two irrefutable sciences I mentioned above that preclude evolution/spontaneous life is the principle of 'organization of information is THE proof of intelligence.' I don't know what branch of science or philosophy that falls under but it makes total sense to me. And there is no compilation of information that even comes close to DNA in a living cell. Apply the laws of probability and thermodynamics to that elegant creation happening by chance and you begin to run out of digits for the exponent.
It becomes more obvious with each of your responses that your objection to evolutionary theory is based on an ideological premise. There is no offense or harm in admitting this outright, even if you only do so to yourself.
My reason for responding at length as I have is thus:
I am disheartened by the movement in the US to disregard what is valid and useful scientific theory by attaching it to ideological agendas. This is especially true of attempts to link scientific thought concerning the development of biological diversity to atheistic principles and agendas. The idea that the genetic and physical variety of life on earth can be explained by phenomena related to natural selection and environmental pressures, and that evidence of these phenomena is plentiful in both the fossil and DNA records as discovered by the intensive practice of innate human curiosity, makes no comment on the idea of a creator or the moral purpose of the supposedly created.
Evolutionary theory in its pure scientific form is immune to religious, philosophical, or political agendas. I ask that you, and those of your ilk, simply review the reasons for your skepticism and look with fresh eyes at what evolutionary theory really is, and not at what you suppose it to be.
I do this so that I can be confident that my children can obtain an education in public schools that is free of ideological bias pertaining to biological conceptions of the mechanisms of change. As you may have already discerned, I live in the bible belt of the US where the threat to evolutionary theory being taught in schools is real, and, unfortunately, well funded.
"There are zero, nada, none 'transitional' species anywhere in the record, let alone human."
4 very interesting animals. All unique . . . but; where are the gradual mutations between what they say came B4 and what supposedly came after? There should be semi Archeopteryx and semi Tiktaalik up and down the spectrum.
I would argue that your adherence to evolutionary theory is likewise ideologically based. I have not been dissuaded from my scientific objections to the theory. You on the other hand want to protect your children and society at large from the existence of a God. I think we just need to agree to disagree!! But do give thought to the probabilistic and thermodynamic problems that evolution must overcome. I have heard all the expert's explanations that don't make a lick of logical sense (i.e., 'earth is an open system; even though there isn't enough energy or resources for these things to happen here, those resources and/or energy came from other parts of the universe'). Not scientifically supportable arguments.
You completely miss my point. Completely.
Evolutionary theory makes no statement regarding a diety or the origin of life.
Those who oppose the teaching of evolution due to ideological stances consistently do so by setting up straw men (such as atheist ideological ties or the spontaneous generation origin theory) and then argue against those straw men -- just as you have done.
I've made no statement as to my religious beliefs, but you assume that I wish to protect "children and society at large from the existence of a God", thus trying to tie my arguments to an unstated atheistic agenda.
I've repeatedly stated that evolutionary theory makes no statements or assumptions regarding the origin of life; but the one item you continue to rail against is spontaneous generation.
"I have heard all the expert's explanations" -- an amazing statement. I had no idea I was debating with someone with such a high standing in the scientific community that he was conversant with every evolutionary theorist on the planet. This statement alone proves to me that I am completely outmatched by your intelligence and knowledge.
Though your argument against evolutionary theory has proven to be "one big massive hole of no evidence" through your own refusal to acknowledge any of my points but instead to set up straw men to argue against, I must defer to your greater authority on the subject and simply accept your beliefs as my own as a matter of faith.
Consider me converted, sir, and thhank you for the enlightenment. Now please excuse me as I must quickly explain to my children that the sun and universe have only rotated around the earth for a few thousand years. And that all those dinosaur bones are really just dragons that Jesus killed between the ages of 12 and 30.
Whoa! I didn't mean to strike a tender spot there! I was just going by your statement, "I do this so that I can be confident that my children can obtain an education in public schools that is free of ideological bias pertaining to biological conceptions of the mechanisms of change. As you may have already discerned, I live in the bible belt of the US where the threat to evolutionary theory being taught in schools is real, and, unfortunately, well funded." Sure sounds like you are trying to protect people from exposure to religion.
You are assuming that I am claiming a deity which I have not in this entire discussion. I agree, evolution and the alternative can and must be evaluated devoid of ideological bias. However if the preponderance of the evidence leads to the theory of some intelligent design being involved, that is where a scientist must follow. It is just as biased an approach to exclude intelligent design as it is to 'religiously' cling to a deity. I have consistently contended my reservations are strictly scientific; probability, thermodynamics and whatever science that covers defining the organization of knowledge as intelligence all preclude evolution of species. Forget spontaneous generation, evolution itself cannot be substantiated from what I can discern. I admit to stating an untruth in that I have not investigated 'all' of the elite scientific theories. I will modify that hyperbole to 'of the ones I have come across in the past 60 years, none have SCIENTIFICALLY explained how evolution overcomes the several laws I have mentioned numerous times'. I am sure there are many, many experts I have not heard from. The point still stands though, so far I haven''t heard a believable SCIENTIFIC explanation.
I have no idea how you came up with that last paragraph but it is amusing for sure! Do you believe the earth is a few thousand years old? What is your evidence for that? As you surely know the earth is billions (4.5 is the best guess this week!) of years old and the universe is more billions (13.5 is probably a good ballpark, no one of course knows for sure). And of course dinosaurs died out millions of years before humans cane on the scene, so no one has killed such a dragon. but I think you know that. I have no clue what you are referring to about the dragons and I am frustrated you think my position is religiously ideological. I have never brought religion into the argument.
As stated before, let's just agree to disagree. This type of discussion is like arguing, "how long is a string?", with about the same import on how we live our lives!!
A string is half as long as twice its length would be.
Sarcasm: the use of words that mean the opposite of what you really want to say especially in order to insult someone, to show irritation, or to be funny.
Pertinent quote from the lovely Oscar Wilde: "Sarcasm is wasted on the stupid."
I'm done. Last post. Enjoy your life. I plan to continue enjoying mine.
Have you any idea how fossils are produced and how incredibly rare they are?
We're lucky we have ANY!
The whole idea that some event or environment "caused" an evolutionary change in humans or any animal has been judged faulty by scientists who actually study evolution. Mutations are random and are not dependent on any external conditions. Those changes that afford the organism a better chance to survive will either be passed on in the genes of their progeny or will die out, perhaps to resurface some time later or some where else. Thus, it does not take a change in geography, such as the rise of the grasslands, to create upright posture. It only takes a chance mutation that brings about such a change to have a favorable impact on survival and it may have to happen multiple times before it becomes a dominant gene.
scarcity of resources prompted pressure for more energy efficient long range travel + pressure for upright posture for predator/prey awareness (we are visual creatures) + sexual display + specialization of forelimbs for tool use and load carrying + pure random luck of the draw
why get stuck on just one reason? didn't know nature was that simple...
Didn't God create humans 'cause he wanted to have creatures who look like him worship him?
The theory that has been around at least as long is that these early bipedal primates did so to free up their front limbs (i.e., now hands) for other tasks. Also, there are arguments that walking upright allowed our forebears to expose less of their body to the sun. Bipedal locomotion may not be very common, but there are plenty of good reasons why a species might adopt it.
I just appreciate the nature of science... revisionistic - new data debunks old theories with better theories. I remember a story about Feynman giving a lecture after a fellow at a university. After 2 hours of the previous elder talking, Feynman debunked his entire life's work, by accident, with his new theory. The professor had spent his whole career proving it. He said "Thank you Mr Feynman. I would have hated to waste any more time on it"
That's a paraphrase, and I can't find the source. I think it's from one of the "surely your joking" books.... if anyone knows the precise story, please share.
I just hope people are big enough to put down their theory and walk away, rather than fall victim of one's own ego and manipulate data.
I thought this theory being debunked was already old news. I could have sworn that I read an article last year about how the Smithsonian even changed it's early human ancestors display to show that we started walking upright (as males) so we could use our arms to carry food to our mate and this coincided with our species becoming monogamous.
Our species is monogamous?
For Example,,We have a dozen theory's about aliens manipulating primates DNA for a labor force
advancing humanity beyond Darwin's wildest Dreams,,,Yet despite the Mountain of evidence mainstream refuses to look at it seriously..as though it is impossible so why bother looking.
The same thing happens every time New concepts are introduced..Yet Darwin has no transitional evidence or solid foundation what so ever..Same with Creationism..My better judgment says the jury is still out on this "origin of Man" issue.
That took 10 seconds to find.
As with most Theory's..Facts vs fiction tends to blur as lack of evidence yields too imagination..subjecting subsequent researchers to prejudiced observation.,,at other times ignoring facts that don't fit the theory.,,all the way to ridicule and ostracize of other views
As far as i can tell,,every Theory postulated was over turned by some other concept..so far.
No. As the article states, evolution is fact-based, but this specific notion is not. We also have Einstein's Theory of Relativity and the Pythagorean Theorem, among others. You're probably confusing an empirical theory with a hypothesis, and even that would make you wrong.
Sorry, Mr. Sparks, but I am unable to accept any sort of thoughtful analysis from someone who has not mastered basic punctuation or figured out when to use capital letters. This is my prejudice, unfortunately.
Oh, and also, your comments are apparently at least partially based upon a lack of understanding of the word "theory". All theories are subject to change as additional facts are identified. That alone should allow for some flexibilty of thought on this subject. I see nothing here that changes our understanding if the basic concept of evolution in primates, as I have always believed that it is more likely that evolution allowed for expansion into an existing ecological niche (the savannah) rather than their being forced to adapt to habitat loss. The latter seems to more likely to lead to extinction. Good luck on getting those apostrophes and capital letters sorted out, though.
Indeed. Possessive confused for plural, and random capitalization of nouns (for emphasis I suppose?) do not lend credibility to the argument and, by extension, to the author.
Oh, fer cryin' out loud! I write for a living, and even I relax my standards when commenting on the intertubes. Unbunch your panties, and focus on the merits (or lack of them) of commenters' ideas.
Sorry I upset your delicate sensibilities, jake3_14. Relax any standards you want, and comment as you please. I do.
I guess your urge to whine got in the way of the fact that I did make a comment based upon the complete LACK of merit in the original post by "john sparks". Lots of people would agree that even a decent argument is damaged by poor presentation. In this case no worthwhile point at all was made by the original commenter. He writes like an ignorant person, from the perspective of content as well as form. That's hardly the fault of my bunched-up panties. I can forgive stupidity, but ignorance is curable. I forgive you.

Table top
I have an oak kitchen table that I finished 30 years ago with Zar tung oil. It was easy to apply (wipe on), resistant to everything but a rotting mini pumpkin, and I could just add a coat every few years to keep it up. Well way to many years have gone by and the finish has eroded in place. That on top of the pumpkin spot means I need to refinish. I want to only do that table top as the pedestal is fine, but because of the bare spots I guess I need to completely strip it. Will just sand paper do, or do I need to chemically strip and stain? I can't find Zar any more, any suggestions on an easy to apply coat that isn't too shiny? Thank you for your help.
Unless you are removing a lot of material (like refinishing wood floors), sanding is a poor way to do stripping. Use a chemical stripper. Sand paper won't completely remove the finish, will take a lot of work, and risks sanding through veneers.
BTW, Zar Tung Oil - it's not tung oil, and has no tung oil in it. It's a wiping varnish, meaning it's just varnish with extra thinner to make a wiping consistency.

When Kickstarter Projects Go Missing 86
from the 404-error-is-not-a-beach-boys-song dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
In a lot of cases, the Kickstarter project will be their only big sale as well-- a lot of the stuff being touted is seriously boutique, to say the least.
"Call me a scrooge, but the idea of donating money to projects that will eventually charge you to purchase the product they produce seems ridiculous to me. On top of that, there is no guarantee that the project you donate to will see the light of day. Honestly, can someone tell me why this is such an appealing option?"
I don't think you're Scrooge but how about not quite clear on the concept.
You aren't donating. You are buying into.
We have a Kickstarter project which successfully funded to help our farm build an on-farm USDA inspected meat processing facility for our pastured pigs. See:
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/sugarmtnfarm/building-a-butcher-shop-on-sugarmountainfarm [kickstarter.com]
Our project was successfully funded.
We're building our butcher shop. (We're about to make the next pour of concrete.)
People who were 'backers' got to choose 'rewards' which which in almost all cases are meat from our farm.
They are paying a price for product created by the project.
It's a pre-buy.
Think CSA.
It's isn't a donation.
It isn't tax deductible.
It isn't charity.
It is people backing a project that they want the product from because they feel confident in the creator's ability to produce the product.
It is important to understand that a Kickstarter project is not a store in the sense that you are not buying an existing product off the shelf but helping a creator bring a product to market. Generally you get some special aspect such as being first in line, special colors or features, added goodies like T-shirts, etc as well as satisfaction in being part of something. Most people who pledge to a project already know the creator.
So, if you're feeling Scroogish, be sure to back projects you feel confident in getting your 'reward' from. Check out the creator to see if you think they can produce.

I have a templated column. I am using a Dropdown as header template and based on the value of the dropdown user sets, I update sigle DB record. Header drop down has nothing to do with the contents of the cells of that column. Everything works fine when the page is loaded and dropdown functions as expected.
As soon as I click anywhere on the gid and then click on the drop down, it behaves in a weird fashion i.e. it expands and then collapses. If I double click on the drop down it works as expected.
I am not able to understand what happens when I click inside the grid so that my drop down only responds to double click and not single click.
Here is the code snippet:
<igtbl:TemplatedColumn BaseColumnName="Assigned" Key="Assigned" AllowResize="Free" AllowRowFiltering="False"
