A method of installing a gas service line in a building or the like is described, in which a flexible sleeve elbow unit is snaked through a small hole in the building ground slab, downwardly through a narrow passage dug out from the earthen fill beneath the slab, and whereupon it is flexed at approximately 90° to pass horizontally through an aperture in the building foundation wall, to where it is connected to the underground gas service line exterior of the building. The flexible sleeve elbow unit has an inner, gas carrier pipe of corrugated stainless steel, and an outer corrugated stainless steel casing pipe surrounding the corrugated length portion of the gas carrier pipe, providing an annular space therebetween to contain any gas leaking through the carrier.
1. The method of installing a gas service line leading from an underground exterior location past the building line of a building or the like and upwardly through a ground slab to a location within the building, comprising the steps of providing a small opening through said ground slab in the vicinity of said exterior location of said gas service line, providing a narrow passage in the earthen fill between said ground slab opening and said gas service line, snaking a flexible sleeve elbow unit downwardly through said ground slab opening and said passage and thence horizontally past said building line, said flexible sleeve elbow unit comprising an inner corrugated gas service pipe having respective projecting rigid pipe upper end and lower end portions, and an outer casing pipe comprising a corrugated length portion surrounding said inner corrugated gas carrier pipe to provide an annular spacing therebetween, and respective rigid pipe upper and lower end portions attached in gas-tight sealing relationship to the respective of said upper and lower rigid pipe end portions of said gas carrier pipe, attaching said projecting lower end portion of said gas carrier pipe to said gas service line at said underground exterior location of the building with at least said rigid lower end portion of said casing pipe projecting exteriorly beyond said building line, said upper end portion of said gas carrier pipe and at least a portion of said rigid upper end portion of said rigid upper end portion of said casing pipe then projecting above said ground slab at said location within said building, securing said elbow unit in place by filling said passage with filling material within the area thereof which surrounds said elbow unit and closing said slab opening around said elbow unit, and providing a gas vent extending from said annular space to the atmosphere exterior of said building.
2. The method of installing a gas service line according to claim 1, wherein said building further includes an exterior foundation wall substantially on said building line, and said method further comprises snaking said flexible elbow unit through a horizontally disposed opening in said foundation wall adjacent to said gas service line.
3. A gas service line installation in a building or the like having an underground exterior foundation wall and a horizontal ground slab within said building adjacent to said wall, comprising an underground gas service line leading substantially horizontally to an exterior location adjacent to said wall, a flexible sleeve elbow unit comprising an inner corrugated gas carrier pipe having respective projecting rigid pipe upper end and lower end portions and an outer corrugated casing pipe surrounding said inner corrugated gas carrier pipe to provide an annular spacing therebetween, said outer corrugated casing pipe having respective rigid pipe upper end and lower end portions attached by gas tight sealing means to the respective of said rigid pipe upper end and lower end portions of said gas carrier pipe, said flexible sleeve elbow unit including said rigid pipe lower end of said casing pipe extending horizontally through said wall and said projecting rigid pipe lower end of said gas carrier pipe being attached in gas flow communication with said gas service line at said exterior underground location, said flexible sleeve elbow unit including said rigid pipe upper end of said casing pipe extending upwardly through said building ground slab, and gas-leakage vent means extending from said annular space to the atmosphere exterior of said building.
This invention relates to the installation of underground gas utility service lines which supply natural gas to buildings such as private residences or the like, especially those not having cellars. More particularly, it relates to techniques for providing the required gas-tight encasement of that portion of the service line which passes through the wall and floor of the building.
Where an underground gas service line is installed leading into a building, applicable federal, state and local laws or Codes require that it be encased in a gas-tight conduit or sleeve along that portion of its length which passes through the building foundation wall and ground slab, to where it emerges within the building. An annular space must be provided between the enclosed gas service line and the exterior sleeve to receive and contain any gas which leaks from the service line within this length, thus to prevent gas leakage into the building, or into any space beneath the building. In addition, a vent line must extend from the annular sleeve space to a point above grade and exterior of the building, to permit the gas to escape to the atmosphere where it will not present a hazard.
In the past, the sleeved portion of the gas service line has been pre-fabricated in the form of a rigid, double-wall elbow pipe section having an appropriate vent aperture at least at the upper end, and sometimes also at the lower end of the sleeve, for venting any escaping gas. The required enlarged horizontal opening through the building wall to receive the sleeve at the proper below-grade elevation is usually provided at the time when the wall is poured of concrete. The elbow sleeve is positioned in the wall opening and sealed with the sealing material, whereupon the area is backfilled to the floor elevation. The ground slab is then poured with the elbow sleeve projecting therethrough. In the usual installation, the pipe vent extends horizontally from the vent aperture at the top of the sleeve, passing through a second horizontal opening through the building wall, and any lower vent pipe is located exteriorly of the building, projecting upwardly above grade from the lower vent aperture of the sleeve, which is underground.
When the sleeved elbow must be replaced, it has been necessary to break out a large diameter opening through the concrete ground slab which is the lowermost floor of the building, and to remove a large volume of earthen fill beneath the floor several feet down to the elevation where the sleeve must pass horizontally through the building foundation wall, whereupon the old sleeved elbow may be removed. The replacement elbow is then positioned, the large hole is backfilled, and the large opening in the floor is repaved. In some instances water conduits or drainage pipes may have been installed subsequent to the original gas service, their presence making it even more difficult to install the replacement elbow.
It is intended by the present invention to substantially reduce the size of the break-out hole, and thus the number of man-hours required for the replacement of the referred to sleeved elbow in a gas service line. For example, using the present invention only a one-foot diameter hole through the ground slab is required, as compared with the usual 3'×3', or at least 3'×11/2' opening necessitated by previous replacement techniques. The amount of fill removal and replacement is commensurately reduced, and the savings in labor amount to about twelve man-hours per replacement. Of course, some of the labor savings result from increased convenience, as compared with conventional methods, as will be seen.
Briefly describing the present invention, a prefabricated flexible sleeve elbow unit is used as the required encased length of the gas service line which passes through the building wall and up through the ground slab. It is simply snaked through a slab hole which is only somewhat larger than its outer diameter of the sleeve, bending to conform with the similarly small underground passage towards and through the building wall opening to be attached to the exterior service line. Its use therefore avoids the need for extensive excavation as is required to install a conventional rigid sleeve elbow.
In general, the elbow unit comprises a flexible inner gas carrier pipe, a flexible outer casing pipe coaxial with and spaced from the inner pipe to provide an annular space between the inner and outer pipes, and a gas vent coupling welded adjacent to one or both ends for attachment of a gas vent pipe or pipes to permit controlled venting to the atmosphere of any leaking gas from within the annular space between the pipes.
Over the major portion of their lengths, both of the flexible inner and outer pipes are preferably made of corrugated stainless steel to provide the required flexibility as well as strength, so that they can be bent sharply on a comparatively small radius. At least the corrugated length of the outer encasement pipe is reinforced with stainless steel braiding to provide rigidity, and to prevent any possible "ballooning" of the corrugated material under any unusual surge of gas service pressure. The inner carrier pipe may, but need not always have the braided wire covering. That is, in larger diameter sizes it is preferable to also provide stainless steel braiding on the inner corrugated pipe length for greater strength.
The inner and outer corrugated pipe lengths have rigid pipe extensions welded on their respective ends, and welded to each other to effectively seal the ends of the annular space between the inner and outer pipes. The gas carrier pipe is longer, so that it projects for attachment at one of its rigid ends to the gas service line, and at the other rigid end to a conventional gas service valve within the building. A sheath of rubber, neoprene, or other non-porous protective material surrounds the entire length of the braided outer corrugated pipe, adapting the sleeve elbow unit for use as a buried fitting and protecting the unit from damage during installation.
In a typical installation, openings for passage of the flexible sleeve elbow through the building wall or foundation at the appropriate below grade elevation, and also through the ground slab within the building, are provided either during the original building construction, or subsequently, the earth fill between these respectively horizontal and vertical openings is tunneled appropriately for passage of the sleeve elbow therethrough. The flexible sleeve elbow is then fed endwise through the passage, and assumes a generally L-shaped contour. If an obstacle, such as a pipe conduit or a foundation pier, initially blocks the path along which it is fed, the elbow unit is flexible enough to follow a more irregular path, "snaking" around the obstacle. It is thus usable in instances where a rigid elbow could not be fitted at all.
The aforementioned vent pipe or pipes are then attached, the passage surrounding the elbow unit is backfilled, and conventional plastic seals are formed around the elbow unit at the openings where it passes through the building wall and ground slab.
These and other objects, features and applications of the invention will be more fully understood from the following detailed description of preferred embodiments thereof, when read with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 illustrates a flexible sleeve elbow unit in accordance with the invention;
FIG. 2 is an enlarged, fragmentary cross-sectional view of the flexible sleeve elbow unit as seen from line 2--2 in FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a fragmentary elevational showing, in cross-section, if a typical building wall and ground slab having openings for installing a gas service therethrough, illustrating steps in practicing the invention; and
FIG. 4 is a view of a building similar to that of FIG. 3 but showing a gas service installed in accordance with the invention.
Referring to FIG. 1, a flexible sleeve elbow unit for use in practicing the invention is generally indicated by reference numeral 10. Since it will extend between an underground gas service pipe which lies exterior of the building to an accessible place above a floor within the building, the elbow unit 10 has substantial length; typically 10 feet. At what will be its underground or lower end 10a the projecting rigid end 11a of the gas carrier pipe 11 will be attached to the gas service line 30 (FIG. 4) in conventional manner, and at what will be its interior or upper end 10b the projecting rigid end 11b of the gas carrier pipe will be attached to a standard lubricated plug valve 31 (FIG. 4) using threads 11c on the end 11b. Referring to FIG. 2 it will be seen that the remaining middle length portion of the gas carrier pipe 11, between the rigid ends 11a and 11b thereof, is formed by a length of flexible corrugated metal tubing 11d. The diameter of the gas carrier pipe 11 corresponds with that of the gas service line, which typically may have a diameter of 3/4", or 1", or 11/2", or 2", depending upon the type of service. Considering that the overall length of the elbow unit 10 in accordance with a preferred embodiment is 10', the length of the flexible, corrugated tubing 11d would be nominally 6'; that of the rigid lower pipe end 11a would be nominally 1'; and that of the rigid upper pipe end 11b would be 3'. The rigid pipe ends 11a and 11b are made of Schedule 40 steel, and the corrugated tubing 11d is made of stainless steel, SAE 316 or 321 for strength and durability. These parts are butt-welded together at leak-tight welded joints 11e, 11f (FIG. 2).
Although in the smaller diameters (e.g., 3/4" or 1") it may be omitted, in the larger diameter sizes (e.g., 11/2", 2") of the preferred embodiment the corrugated tubing 11d is sheathed in braided stainless steel 12, as seen in FIG. 2. Annular stainless steel rings 13 at each end surround the braiding 12, and the braiding and rings are welded to the ends of the flexible corrugated tubing 11d.
A larger diameter flexible outer casing pipe, generally indicated by reference numeral 15, is coaxial with and surrounds the inner gas carrier pipe 11 to provide an annular space 16 between the pipes for containing, and controlled venting of any gas which leaks through the inner carrier pipe 11. At its lower end 15a the casing pipe 15 also has a rigid steel pipe end 17a which extends over, and surrounds a portion of the projecting rigid pipe end 11b of the gas carrier pipe 11. Respective annular steel spacer rings 18, welded in place to form a gas-tight seal, retain the annular spacing between the inner and outer pipes at both ends of the elbow unit 10, as shown. The remaining middle length portion of the casing pipe 15, between its rigid pipe ends 17a, 17b, is also formed by a length of flexible corrugated metal tubing 17d, preferably stainless steel. Its larger diameter with respect to that of the corrugated metal tubing 11d of the gas carrier pipe 11 provides an annular spacing 16 therebetween. At each of its ends, the corrugated tubing 17d is welded to the respective rigid pipe ends 17a, 17b, which are also preferably made of Schedule 40 steel.
Where the gas carrier pipe 11 is 11/2", 2" or larger in diameter, the rigid pipe ends of the outer casing pipe have a diameter 1" larger than the rigid pipe ends of the carrier. In smaller sizes, the rigid pipe ends 17a, 17b of the casing pipe 15 are only 1/2" larger in diameter than that of the rigid ends 11a, 11b of the gas carrier pipe, which they surround. The corrugated tubing 17d of the casing pipe 15 has a diameter which is 1" larger than the corrugated tubing 11b of the gas carrier pipe where the latter is 11/2" or 2" or more in diameter, and is preferably 11/2" in diameter for all smaller sized gas carrier pipes 11.
The corrugated tubing 17d of the outer casing pipe 15 is encased in stainless steel braid 19, as seen in FIG. 2. Annular steel rings 20 are welded to the braiding and corrugated tubing at both of its ends, as shown.
The corrugated tubing length of the outer casing pipe 15 is further covered with neoprene sheathing 21, which extends over and beyond the circular rings 20 at each end, as shown in FIG. 2. Of course, instead of neoprene, other non-porous protective material might be used.
Within the lengths of the rigid pipe ends 17a, 17b of the outer casing pipe 15, the annular spacing 16 is vented to the atmosphere via respective vent apertures 22 through the projecting short pipe couplings 23, both of which are one the same side of the elbow unit. As will be understood, the annular space 16 between the gas carrier pipe 11 and the casing pipe 15 extends the full length of the outer casing pipe 15.
Referring now to FIGS. 3 and 4, a gas service pipe installation in accordance with the invention is provided through a foundation wall 25 and a ground slab 26 of a building or the like, the flexible sleeve elbow unit 10 being passed through respective openings 27 and 28 therein, and through the excavation hole 29 through the earthen fill 38 beneath the slab 26. Where smaller sized gas service lines are installed, e.g., 3/4" and 1" in diameter, the bend radius of the flexible pipe elbow unit 10 is only 61/2", and for larger sizes, e.g., 11/2" and 2" diameter gas service pipes, its bend radius is 111/2" and 141/2", respectively. It will therefore be apparent that the flexible elbow unit 10 can be easily snaked through the apertures 27, 28 and around any obstacles as may be encountered.
It will be understood that the exterior surface of the building foundation wall 25 corresponds with the building line. Of course, where the building does not have a foundation wall, the flexible sleeve elbow simply extends to an exterior location beyond the building line.
As seen in FIG. 4, steel pipe lengths 27a, 28a of enlarged diameter are positioned and grouted in place within the respective openings 27, 28 through the building wall 25 and floor slab 26 where the unit 10 will pass when being positioned. The elbow unit 10 is sealed within the pipes 27a, 28a, as by mastic sealing material 27b, 28b, as seen in FIG. 4. Where it emerges above the ground slab 26, the rigid end 17b of the unit is surrounded by a reinforced nylon pipe brace 29. Alternatively, and although not shown, a conventional insulating plate and steel brace might be used.
As previously mentioned, a conventional lubricated plug valve 31 is attached to the upper end 11b of the gas carrier pipe 11, and its lower rigid pipe end 11a is attached to the gas service line 30, both in conventional manner.
The elbow unit 10 is oriented so that the vent coupling 23 on its upper end faces the interior of the building wall 25, at which elevation an opening 34, having a steel pipe length 34a of enlarged diameter therein, is made through the building wall 25. The primary gas vent pipe 35 from the annular space 16 is attached to coupling 23 and passes through the wall opening. A conventional vent cap 36 is attached at the outer end of vent pipe 35 where it projects outside the building. Of course, the pipe length 34a is grouted in place in conventional manner, and the vent pipe 35 is sealed within the pipe length 34a using a mastic sealing material 37, as indicated in FIG. 4.
An auxiliary gas vent pipe 32 may also be attached to project upwardly to above ground from the lower end pipe coupling 23, which faces upwardly when the elbow unit 10 is installed as seen in FIG. 4. As indicated in FIG. 3, the vent pipe 32 is easily installed via the excavation hole 33, which is also utilized for access to the connection between the elbow unit end and the service line 30.
In certain applications the lower end pipe 32 may be omitted, so that all of any escaping gas from the gas carrier pipe within the annular space 16 will be vented only through the upper vent pipe 35 to the atmosphere, via vent cap 36.
From the foregoing description, it will be understood that the flexible elbow unit 10 is particularly useful where a conventional rigid sleeve elbow (not shown) in a gas service line is to be replaced. That is, the opening 28 through the ground slab 26 need be only about one-foot in diameter, and the amount of excavation of fill therebelow to form the elbow unit passage hole 29 will be a minimum. After the elbow unit 10 is placed, the required back filling of the excavation 29, and the cementing in of the ground slab opening 28 is also made easier.
Thus, a flexible sleeve elbow unit and method of installation has been described which achieve all of the objects of the invention.

How do you know when the parent has had it?
I have a Texas Star I got from a nursery 2 years ago. Was sold as a 'mother' bulb. I believe this is the same banana sold as a Orinoco Dwarf. Anyway, it reached an impressive size last year, about 8'. But did not flower or fruit. Moved the plant inside after the first frost got it. Plant was dormant, staying in my garage until this spring. It has been replanted outside for about 7 weeks now. The top of the stalk looks like it wants to grow, but just hasn't taken off. But there have been 3 suckers that have come up from the mother bulb. 1 about a foot tall, the other 2 just have broken through the soil. My question: Is the parent plant about to give up the ghost? If I dig up the suckers, will the main stalk start growing again? Thanks for your help.
My orinocos have just been sitting there for several weeks now because of this cool weather. Have you cut the top of the pseudostem to see what the middle looks like? I'd do that, and if you find brown in the middle, keep cutting down until you find green (or yellow). Then just wait for the heat to come and it should take off.
By the way, was that nursery TyTy by any chance? Don't believe one thing they print on their website.
Thanks. The stalk is about 5 ft. tall. The layers on the outside are brown, but a new green leaf had just started to emerge at the top, but then it just stopped. Now the suckers are coming up. And yes, it was TyTy. They seem to have gotten a bad rap here, but I have no complaints. I got the plant from them when I stopped by their place 2 years ago on my way to Florida.

Unhappy Return For Patrick
May 25, 2010 | 5:23 A.M. EST
"No, I think it was absolutely awful," Patrick said on the track's public address system after her run, comments that were met by a chorus of boos from the grandstand. "I wasn't flat the last two laps, and I was scared to death flat the first two. And it didn't get better. You know, the problem is, is that the car can be fast. You trim it out and it accelerates, so there's no issue there. It's just that the balance and the car itself is so bad, we can't even trim it out to go faster.
"By the sounds of the trim numbers, I think we're pretty excessive anyway, but ... I don't know. I'm very, very disappointed. I've never been bad here before. I've never been outside the top 10 on a finish or qualifying, so, um, it's not my fault. This car is not good."
After expressing herself publicly, Patrick met the media to explain her comments and disappointment with what turned out to be the 23rd fastest lap of the qualifying session.
"I have a feeling this is going to be an interesting press conference," she said as the media session began.
"Shoot! I say one confident thing out there that it's not me, and everybody boos me. I'm blown away. These people, I mean. I don't know, maybe they all booed me before. I would think that some of them have probably cheered for me before, and I'm not a different driver than I was five years ago. I don't know if those people were here five years ago, but I got loose in (Turn) 1 and caught it and kept my foot down. So I can drive a loose car but this is beyond. Obviously.
Patrick will now have to start Sunday's race from the middle of the field and deal with traffic from the drop of the green flag. However she's confident about getting the job done and points to past experience racing from the middle of the field.
"Well, I have been in the back of the field at some points during this race, the first race in particular where I went toward the front, well, I started up front," she said. "Then I stalled it. Went to the back. Came back through. Was up to sort of eighth-ish or something. Had a bad restart. Got clipped. Had to start from the back again and made my way up. It's a lot of buffeting; it's a lot of moving around. A lot of thinking, 'Is this thing broken right now? Because it doesn't feel right.'
"But at least I have that experience if for some reason we decide that we're just not going to go out again. The GoDaddy car deserves to be higher up than this. It's better than this. It's just not set up right."

Reviews For Carhartt Overalls r37
This Product:
Carhartt Overalls: Men's R37 BRN Brown Double Knee Duck Bib Overalls
There was one thing I had to change, I cut off both the hammer loops, these just got in my way. Everyone on the job that wore these did the same. The only other problem, which would not be for everyone was the zipper. I used dry silicon on it about once every month to keep it from sticking.
I'd recommend these to anyone who does any type of physical work, outdoors or in. Very tough cloth, the double knee is awesome. When you get a hole in it, patch it right away. There is a small hole at the bottom of each knee to let rocks and stuff fall out, but if you don't fix that hole your gonna be kneeling on who knows what!

George Washington. Autograph letter signed: Mount Vernon,
to Burwell Bassett, 1785 May 23. 2 p.
Mount Vernon, 23d May 1785
Dear Sir,
It would have given me much pleasure to have seen you at
Richmond; and it was part of my original plan to have spent
a few days with you at Eltham whilst I was in the lower parts
of the Country; but an intervention of circumstances not only
put it out of my power to do the latter but would have stopped
my journey to Richmond altogether had not the meeting, the
time, and the place been of my own appointing. -- I left company
at home when I went away who proposed to wait my return --
among them a Mr. Pine, an artist of eminence, came all the
way from Philadelphia on purpose for some materials for an
historical painting which he is about, and for which he was
obliged to stay til I got back; which I did after an absence
of eight days only. --
My Nephew Geo. Aug[ustin]e Washington is just returned from
his peregrination. -- apparently much amended as in his health
but not quite free from the disorder in his Side -- I have
understood that his Addresses to Fanny were made with your
conse & I now [?] learn that he is desirous; and she is
willing, to fulfill the engagement they have entered into;
and that they are applying to you for permission to do so.
It has ever been a maxim with me through life, neither to
promote, nor to prevent a matrimonial connection, unless there
should be something indispensably [2] requiring interference
in the latter. -- I have always considered marriage as the
most interesting event of ones life. -- The foundation of
happiness or misery. To be instrumental therefore in bringing
two people together who are indifferent to each other, &
may soon become objects of disgust, -- or to prevent a union
which is prompted by the affection of the mind, is what I
never could reconcile with reason, & therefore neither
directly, nor indirectly have I ever said a syllable to Fanny,
or George, upon the subject of their intended connection but
as their attachment to each other seems of early growth, warm,
& lasting, it bids fair for happiness. -- If therefore
you have no obection, I think, the sooner it is consummated
the better.
I have just now informed them both (the former through Mrs.
Washington) that it is my wish they should live at Mount Vernon.
It is unnecessary I hope to say how happy we should be to
see you, her Brothers, and any of her friends -- who can make
it convenient, and are disposed at this place, on this occasion.
-- All here join in best wishes here for you, and with every
sincere esteem and regard
I am -- Dear Sir
Yr affecte friend and
Obedt Hble Servant
Go: Washington

By Charlotte Talks
Are you superstitious? Do you dread Friday the 13th? Do you avoid walking under ladders? Feel funny about black cats crossing your path? Do you ever keep your fingers crossed?

Knock on wood, you won't break any mirrors before Charlotte Talks, Friday, Sept. 13.

Turtle vs. Dog Is the Best Soccer Match You'll See During the World Cup
You'll never guess who wins the closest thing the World Cup has to the Puppy Bowl
The World Cup this year has been even more packed than most with high-intensity, hair-raising games, but none of them holds a candle to this matchup for the ages: turtle v.s. dog.
Posted to Facebook under the title "Italian soccer :) ( a.k.a. also a turtle and a dog can manage …" by Valeria D'Innocenzo Carlantoni in Civitavechia, Italy, a small town near Rome, this 1:17-long clip features some surprisingly cheeky touches and fancy footwork. The aggressive tackle at the end is exceptional, though it's a miracle no one got carded.
If you've been rooting for the U.S., soothe your broken heart (which should still be celebrating the OMG-mind-blowingly awesome performance of U.S. goalie Tim Howard) with this clip.
Try and watch this video without, at least in your head, narrating the action in a game announcer voice. This needs to be the World Cup's version of the Puppy Bowl.
Feel Good Friday: 11 Fun Photos to Start Your Weekend
From giant pandas to rain god rituals, here's a handful of photos to get your weekend started right
Facebook Found Out What's More Popular: "Soccer" or "Football"
Some people are going to be very upset
As the world descended into World Cup mania, Facebook decided to sift through its 1 billion-plus tournament related posts to run a little (completely emotion manipulation-free) study. Starting at the beginning of the games, the social network decided to track what was more popular: "soccer," "football," futbal" … you get the general idea.
And the most prevalent translation, based on Facebook comments and posts, is going to make some people very unhappy:
- Soccer
- Football
- Fútbol
- Futebol
- Futbol
That might numb the burn of the USA vs. Belgium game.
Facebook also looked at the use of the word "goal" on the site. More specifically, it looked at which countries used the most letters to express its enthusiasm. It turns out that Venezuelans are the most Gooooool exuberant, using an average of 21 characters to spell it out. Here are the top five elongated spellers:
- Venezuela (21.2 characters)
- Gabon (18.4)
- Tunisia (13.4)
- Mexico (12.8)
- Montenegro (12.8)
And just in case you needed some visualizations:
2 Dead, 19 Injured in World Cup Highway Collapse
The collapsed overpass was under construction for the tournament
At least two people were killed when a highway overpass collapsed Thursday in Belo Horizonte, one of the Brazilian cities hosting the 2014 FIFA World Cup. The rubble trapped a commuter bus, a car and two construction trucks, Brazilian authorities said. An official who wished to remain anonymous told the Associated Press that 19 additional people were injured in the accident.
The overpass that fell was under construction, one of the many infrastructure projects undertaken for the World Cup that is still unfinished. It lay about three miles from the Mineirao stadium, where the semifinal game will be played Tuesday.
One of the people killed was a woman who was driving the commuter bus.

World Cup Cheat Sheet: No Tim Howard, But Some Great Games Ahead
Bummer about the U.S., isn't it? Tim Howard deserved another game just on his performance alone. But let's be honest, you can't suddenly start attacking after you're down 2-0 and expect to win. Lack of attack is what often happens as underdog teams get deeper into the World Cup. But the quarterfinals promise a lot more attacking, and are well worth watching, even if you're just a casual fan.
France vs. Germany (Friday, 12 noon ET): No European team ever lacks motivation to play against Germany. The grudge list of history is too long. But for France, it's more about redeeming the reputation of Les Bleus, which the team trashed in the 2010 World Cup, following a player revolt against Raymond Domenech, the coach from another planet. Relatively speaking, the current French squad is playing blissfully. Coach Didier Deschamps has a lot of buttons to push, from precocious Paul Pogba and the vibrant Mathieu Valbuena in the midfield, Karim Benzema and Olivier Giroud up front and the world-class Hugo Lloris in goal. Germany has looked less impressive every game so far, gasping for air against the suffocating Algerian pressure until Andre Schuerrle rescued die Mannschaft in extra time. Germany coach Joachim Loew is probably busy tinkering with the parts of his Bayern Munich-centered team —Thomas Mueller, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Philipp Lahm— as well as the lethargic Mesut Özil, to get them to produce more power. Right now Loew has a Mercedes sedan and he needs an F-1 model. The Germans, as you know, are very good mechanics. This game is going to be about French style vs. German muscle, and style is looking good.
Brazil vs. Colombia (Friday 4 p.m.): Which team would you rather be coaching? The glamorous home side, the famous Seleção of Brazil, or the guys from the country nearby? Brazil coach Big Phil Scolari's team was on the verge of collectively wetting its pants against Chile. The pressure to win is so great that Scolari had to bring in a psychologist to consult some emotion-wracked players after the narrow penalty-kick shootout win over the Chileans. But if you are Colombia's coach José Pekerman, you can just tell your team, "Take it to'em, boys." Colombia is a team playing without its leading scorer but, more importantly, playing without fear. And it has the wondrous James Rodriguez in the middle—the Monaco man's price has skyrocketed during this tournament— creating highlight reel goals. Colombia will feel free to go at Brazil's vulnerable defense, which features wingbacks like Marcelo who just hate hanging around their own end of the field. Brazil will also be missing Luis Gustavo, who has held its midfield together. Brazil's offense, run by the endlessly inventive Neymar, lacks any cohesive imagination in its attack. There's no beauty in Brazil's beautiful game at moment. The Seleção had better find some, or the party could well end this weekend.
Argentina vs. Belgium (Saturday 12 p.m.): Game after game, Argentina has faced opponents trying to frustrate its attack at all costs. The Swiss erected massed ranks of defenders in front of its goal like so many Alps, and waited to counterattack. It's a strategy that almost worked but for another burst of genius from Lionel Messi to set up Angel di Maria's winning goal. Belgium, like Switzerland, is a small country, but unlike the Swiss, the Belgians are loaded with talent. They are here to play, not defend. Against the U.S., midfielder Kevin de Bruyne spent 68% of the game in the American end of the field, leading endless attacks. So did Eden Hazard, whose penchant for getting behind defenses should worry Argentina. Then again, if Messi is on your team, you can relax a little bit, knowing that he's capable of miracles. Not that Argentina should need them. In a wide-open game, with players like di Maria and Sergio Aguero surging forward, this match could restore the high scoring that marked the group stage, and should restore Argentina as a favorite to win it all.
Netherlands vs. Costa Rica (Saturday 4 p.m.): The Ticos are one of the last teams that anyone would figure to reach the quarters, but its qualifying and World Cup run has been impressive. Costa Rica beat Uruguay, Italy and Greece, and drew with England. Led by Bryan Ruiz, who only recently had a hard time getting a game with Fulham, the Ticos have also handled Mexico, a team that gave the Oranje fits in the round of 16. Still, any team featuring Robin van Persie, Arjen Robben and Wesley Sneijder is going to be a handful, as Spain learned. Each player has the ability to change a game in an instant, although Robben's conspicuous diving—it ought to be a red card offense— is hardly recommended viewing. Don't expect the Ticos to be awed by this much talent; do expect them to be done in by it.
The American Helping Germany's World Cup Quest
He was originally appointed in 2004 when Jurgen Klinsmann was coaching Germany's team
By Ben Lyttleton
The USA may be out of the World Cup, but there is still an American influence in Brazil, and it's part of the legacy that Jurgen Klinsmann put in place while he was coaching the Germany team at the 2006 competition.
The Factors that Determine World Cup PK Shootouts
Shad Forsythe is an American fitness coach who works for Athletes Performance, the company Klinsmann brought in upon his appointment to the German post in 2004. Forsythe has been with the team ever since and is now Performance Manager of Die Mannschaft. He is so trusted by coach Joachim Low that at the 2010 World Cup, he delivered the final words in the locker room before the players took the field.
His job is to ensure the players are in peak condition for every game and, specifically, at major tournaments. It's made easier by the fact that the German players have bought into his methods and that his evaluations can take place throughout the season. "We monitor them through regular communication with their clubs, so we know exactly what situation they are in when they join up with us."
WATCH: Will Howard and Dempsey Play in the 2018 World Cup?
As research for my book Twelve Yards: The Art and Psychology of the Perfect Penalty, I wanted to understand why German players had the best record in international penalty shootouts, especially when at the club level German players had a below-average record (and certainly worse than English players).
I spoke to Forsythe after Germany had qualified for the World Cup and discovered his thoughts on the German psyche, and how Germany might prepare for a penalty shootout once it reached the knockout stages. Given that Germany takes on France in Friday's quarterfinal – a repeat of the 1982 semifinal, the first World Cup game that went to a shootout – it might just come in useful.
The penalty practice in the Germany camp takes place throughout the qualifying phase, but stops once the tournament begins. It only re-starts once the team reaches the knockout stages. In 2006, when Klinsmann was coach, after training, every player took a penalty; before doing so, he would have to nominate into a camera where he would kick the ball – bottom right, top left, that sort of thing. Anyone who missed would be eliminated, and the competition would continue until only one player was left. It normally took four or five penalties to find a winner. The process helped Klinsmann select penalty takers.
23 for 2018: A First Projection of the Next USA World Cup Roster
When midfielder Tim Borowski, for example, nominated his spot – "Bottom left," he said – the goalkeeper overheard him and stood next to the post where Borowski had said he would aim. Borowski did not flinch and powered his shot towards the same spot. He scored. Germany's quarterfinal against Argentina went to penalties, and whom did Klinsmann bring off the bench who scored a penalty? Borowski.
"You can't say he came on just for the penalty, but it's definitely a positive to know that he is confident from the spot," said Forsythe.
Forsythe will know everything about the player before he takes that penalty: from their mineral deficiencies, their VO2 max (a measure of the body's ability to transport oxygen during exercise) to their napping patterns and how much sleep he got the previous night.
Given that preparation and recovery is such a key part of Forsythe's methodology, I wondered if standing upright for 10 minutes after playing for 120 minutes was the ideal preparation for a penalty. Shouldn't the players be stretching, running on the spot, anything rather than just standing there?
"From a physiological point of view," he replied, "the most important thing is that they are calm, and part of that is cooling – so you always see them drinking cool fluid. Usually the adrenalin will keep them going but if they have to wait longer than 15 minutes, then they will stiffen up and that could be a problem."
Forsythe, who has reportedly been courted by Arsenal to join its staff this coming season, agreed with my theory that German goalkeepers have a history of excellence. In fact, he thinks the current of goalkeepers has the potential to be better than Oliver Kahn and Jens Lehmann – partly because the likes of Manuel Neuer are better athletes too.
To Forsythe, the penalty is 90 percent psychological and 10 percent physical. His job is making that 10 percent work to ensure the 90 percent works too.
"Confidence comes from knowing that physically they are ready for this," he said. "They know they will be ready for any scenario."
He makes it sound like none of the German players suffer from self-doubt. Surely that wasn't right?
"If they don't want to take penalties, it will be because of physical reasons: they have a weak shot, they don't score many goals – those physical issues will limit their confidence," Forsythe said. "But remember that the strongest shooters do not necessarily make the best penalty-takers – you need to factor personality in too – and that penalty failure is just not on the German horizon."
The cultural difference is all too clear to Forsythe, who last year changed his routine when watching Germany take a penalty. He now stands on the touchline and watches the crowd – a true avoidance strategy.
"I have a 100 percent record with that method so I will stick with it," he laughed.

A Scientific Explanation For Our Obsession With Sexy Soccer Players
It's not just a beautiful game. There are biological reasons so many people prefer footballers over other athletes.
The U.S. team has been knocked out of the World Cup, but that doesn't mean Americans will stop watching the tournament. If the dozens of hottest soccer players lists on sites like BuzzFeed, Jezebel and Elle are any indication, Americans have finally fallen for international "footballers" like Cristiano Ronaldo (right) who have been global stars for years. The ogling has become so pervasive that writers are debating whether it's okay to objectify male athletes.
This isn't your average love affair with the athlete of the moment. It's a full fledged crush. In the graph below, you can see that Americans have searched "hottest soccer players" more in the past 12 months than they have searched for "hottest football players," even though the viewership for American football dwarfs that of soccer. (Queries have obviously spiked in the past month during the World Cup which has gotten unprecedented attention in the U.S. this year.) Search terms "hottest basketball players," "hottest baseball players" and "hottest hockey players" had so little traffic in the U.S. that they didn't even show up on the chart.
So why are Americans swooning over soccer players more than athletes in sports that are more popular? TIME asked evolutionary biologists, psychologists and sports medicine experts to weigh in.
1. The evolutionary ideal
Evolutionarily-speaking women are attracted to strength and characteristics associated with high testosterone production such as a more masculine face. But scientists are just beginning to discover that women are biologically programmed to be attracted to endurance as well. "Recent studies suggest that in our evolutionary past there has actually been strong selection on endurance performance," says Erik Postma, a research scientist at the Institute of Evolutionary Biology and Environmental Studies at the University of Zurich. "Before the invention of spears, we would hunt by chasing down animals to exhaustion. Though we could not outsprint a zebra, over the course of many hours we could outrun it."
Postma conducted a study in which he asked subjects to rate the attractiveness of the faces of various cyclists, and found that people rated the cyclists with highest endurance most attractive. This is good news for soccer players, who are not only strong but must cultivate endurance in order to survive games: soccer players run an average of seven miles per game, compared to the 2.5 run by basketball players and 1.2 run by receivers and cornerbacks in football (players in other positions run significantly less). "I think that unlike basketball and football players, soccer players might have the ideal combination of strength and endurance," says Postma.
Our evolutionary biology then dictates what our culture sees as the ideal male form. "[The soccer player's body] is probably a little closer to the average person's mental image of what beauty looks like," says Dr. David Geier, a sports medicine expert and orthopedic surgeon. "When you look at ancient Greek and Roman sculptures of the ideal person, they look more like what soccer players are. They're pretty regularly proportioned: they don't have huge upper bodies and small lower bodies, or vice versa."
2. A more relatable body type
"When you look at the skills needed for soccer, it's speed and endurance. It's not upper body power. It's not the ability to tackle people, so you don't need the shape of a body that an American football player would need," says Geier.
Soccer players, unlike many American athletes, are muscular without being bulky. Basketball players and football players must build up their upper bodies for shooting, passing and pushing one another around. Hockey players must build up their legs for strength and speed on the ice. Soccer players have a much more even muscle distribution. They're toned, but not in an exaggerated way.
"There's probably a perception difference when you have a seven-foot athlete compared to soccer players, who are pretty normal height—5'8″ to 6'2″," says Geier. It's easy to imagine your boyfriend running every day and slimming down than to imagine him growing an extra foot and pumping iron until his arm muscles swell to twice their size. That's why many people find a body like Costa Rica soccer player Joel Campbell's (in white shorts above), which has muscle evenly distributed across his 5'10" frame, more attractive than that of NBA player Dwight Howard (in Lakers jersey above), whose shoulder and upper arm muscles are intimidatingly large. Plus, Howard is 6'11″—a less relatable height.
3. Showing emotion on the field
Soccer players are notoriously more emotional during play than other athletes—so much so that a recent article in the New Yorker examined why Americans are exasperated by soccer's dramatics. Players flop down on the ground when hit and roll around as if they've just been shot in the gut. When they congratulate each other, they don't just high five, they leap into one another's arms, scream and weep. After scoring a goal, players will tear off their shirt and run in circles. A goalie who let in a shot will collapse to his knees and wail.
It turns out these seemingly overdramatic (one might even say feminine) gestures are arousing to the opposite sex. A 2011 study found that men are perceived to be more attractive by heterosexual women when they exhibit emotional displays of pride and shame. In the way a peacock spreads his tail, men strut after victory to seem more attractive.
"This could explain part of what's going on with male soccer players," says Jessica Tracy, an associate professor of psychology at British Columbia who led the study. "If they show pride displays after success, and even shame displays after failure, this will likely increase their attractiveness—at least to North American women."
Emotional displays also increase a player's relatability. "I think you get a better sense of their personalities," says Geier. "There's no helmet or cap like in football or hockey or baseball. Seeing them react to what's going on on the field—it helps fans forge a relationship that you might not get with an athlete in pads and a helmet."
4. Uniforms—on and off
Let's face it: soccer players like to show their abs. Even when they're not tearing off their jerseys to celebrate a goal, soccer uniforms are more revealing than others. Hockey and football pads conceal most of the athlete's body and head. Basketball uniforms are baggy, and baseball uniforms aren't exactly the most flattering wear. Soccer jerseys better display abs, arms, legs and bottoms than gear in any other major sport, as demonstrated by the variety of BuzzFeed's lists on the topic, which include "bootyful butts" and "match the six-pack to the soccer player."
"Uniforms and clothes in general are used to enhance desirable features," says Postma. "I did for example notice that the shirts [in soccer] have gotten tighter, showing off their muscular upper bodies much better."
The other reason there's such a global obsession with soccer players is that there's such a wide sample selection. The World Cup brings together hundreds of players from all over the world. Everyone has someone to root for—or ogle. Sheer variety has its appeal, and when there are that many men who spend all day, every day running, there's bound to be at least a few players that capture the attention of the masses, like French forward Olivier Giroud (above), who tops many of the "hottest" lists.
And for Americans, who only see these players on ESPN once every four years and do not have as firm a grasp on the rosters, Postma believes that focusing on attractiveness might be "a way to make a sport that you otherwise don't have much affinity with a bit more interesting."

Heat Pump Recovery Thermostat: Temp Profile Not What I Expected
My understanding is that modern heat pump thermostats anticipate changes in set point and act to ensure that the heat pump does the heating and not the auxiliary electrical coils. In addition I understood this meant that if one wanted the house at a certain temperature at a certain time one need not "second guess" the system by scheduling ramp up time, but instead let the thermostat figure it out.
The graph is a temperature profile shows that the heat pump doesn't start heating until the set point change at 5:30. And while it didn't trigger auxiliary heat it still didn't arrive at the desired temperature at 5:30.
Is this right
BTW: This is an American Standard system with AccuLink™ Platinum ZV Control
I'm just a home owner, not a Pro.
My Carrier thermostat has a Setting to Enable/Disable the anticipatory temp ramp up.
I do not use this feature but rather choose to lock out the auxiliary heat source at or above 30 degrees and I lock out the heat pump below 30 degrees.
I note you expect the temp ramp-up to start some 3� hours before the end point. When I was "experimenting" with my Carrier equipment the ramp up started less than an hour before the end point.
Your thermostat may not have the recovery anticipation feature. See if you can find it in the installation manual. I have this feature but I turned it off on my Carrier thermostats.
Have you figured out why the temperature only reached 69 degrees and dropped back to 67? Are the labels on your graph correct?
An 8 degree set back is big for a heat pump. The recovery time will be long if the auxiliary back up is locked out. People who own heat pumps generally recommend set backs of 3-4 degrees.
I did 10F setbacks with my heat pump for some years when working two jobs. I was routinely out of the house for 14+ hours, 11 AM to 2 AM or later. Auxiliary locked-out to 25F. Recovery started 2 to 2.5 hours early and sometimes fell short of the target temp by a couple degrees at the target time, but didn't bother me in the least ... the system was running and blowing warm air so it felt perfectly comfortable.
I found that the Smart Recovery function took a few cycles to adapt to the profile it needed. It sometimes didn't ramp-up very far in advance (or not at all) if the drop-curve was mild and 4F to 6F instead of the full 10F.
Regarding not reaching 70, I assume that the average temperature dropped in the house due to in=and-out activity that might also tend to distribute the mass of cold air from our less insulated rear porch. The next scheduled event is back down to 62 at 8:00 a.m.
I couldn't find the American Standard install manual online, but the same thermostat is available from Trane. I have excerpted what I think are the relevant controls to play with. I did look at these once, but was frankly too put off by all the double negatives such as, "disables the 10 minute inhibit" and "Heating Aggressive Recovery can only be enabled if Aggressive Recovery is disabled."
I'll be back home in two weeks and I can try to adjust these. Naturally, I will ask for advice here on anything I'm unsure of.
Aggressive Recovery:
This option disables the 10 minute inhibit anytime the thermostat sees more than a 2° change (such as moving from one program time frame to another). This applies to heating & cooling modes. Heating Aggressive Recovery: This option disables the 10 minute inhibit based on outdoor temperature in heating mode only. The value for outdoor temperature can be set from 0°��"70°. Heating Aggressive Recovery can only be enabled if Aggressive Recovery is disabled.There is a 10 minute "inhibit" period between first and second stage compressor as well as compressor heating & supplemental strip heat. This 10 minute inhibit period minimizes the cycling of higher capacity request due to drafts around the thermostat or marginal load conditions.
Cycle Rate
The cycle rate affects the cycle time of the system. With a 50% load value, a cycle rate of 3 will allow the system to run for 10 minutes and be off for 10 minutes; completing 3 cycles in one hour. A cycle rate of 5 would allow the system to cycle on and off at 6 minute intervals. The higher the cycle rate, the more often the system turns on and off. The actual amount of time the system will be "on" or "off" will be reflective in the load value of the home. Higher load value demands will increase system run time and decrease system off time. Lower load value demands will decrease system run time and increase system off time.Emergency HeatThe heat pump will be disabled and the furnace / heat strips are enabled any time the thermostat is set to Emergency Heat.
System lockouts will disable a certain function of the system under specific outdoor temperatures:Compressor Heating Lockout • ��" will lockout all compressor operation below a set outdoor temperature (from 5°��"70°). This value must be set lower than the auxiliary heat lockout. Auxiliary Heating Lockout • ��" will lock out auxiliary heat stages above a set outdoor temperature (from 40°��"70°). This value must be set higher than the compressor heating lockout. Defrost Heater Balance Point • for W1, W2 & W3 ��" will lock out specific auxiliary heat stages when above a set outdoor temperature. (W1 setpoint is from 40°��"55°, W2 & W3 setpoints are from 5°��"55°). This feature does not apply to dual fuel systems. Compressor Cooling First Stage Lockout • ��" will lock out the first stage compressor above a set outdoor temperature. (from 80°��"120°) Compressor Heating First Stage Lockout • ��" will lock out the first stage compressor below a set outdoor temperature. (from 0°��"50°) Furnace First Stage Heating Lockout • ��" will lock out first stage furnace operation below a set outdoor temperature. (from 15°��"50°) First stage lockouts are not available with zoning.
Setpoint Dead Band
This sets the temperature band between heating and cooling setpoints while in the auto mode.
Here is a link that might be useful: Trane Comfortlink II Installation Manual
SP Dead band: this just sets how close together you can have the Heating and Cooling setpoints. Usually this is 2*. For example, Heating to 70* and Cooling to 72*. Below 70* it switches to heat mode. Above 72* it switches to Cooling mode. In between it stays in whatever mode it was in.
Aggressive Recovery: Normally with a HP if you request more than a 2* temperature change the Tstat will automatically kick the system into high stage (for a 2-stage system). For heating this activates the auxiliary heat strips. Inhibiting 'aggressive' recovery tells the Tstat to wait 10 minutes before deciding to kick it into high gear.
Cycle Rate: This will set how many cycles per hour (more or less). Fewer cycles should give you longer run times but perhaps a larger temperature swing.
Lockouts: This is all dependent on whether you have an outdoor temperature sensor. If you do, then these lockouts let you do things like go to high stage immediately if the temp is low (for heat) or high (for cool) rather than wait 10 minutes, or go directly to Aux heating if below the effective heating point of the HP.
From looking at that manual, there is nothing there about 'anticipation'.

Really? A plug for a paid app? I feel like you're trolling me slashdot. The only possible reason I can see to post this is as prologue to an American lawsuit the first time a user dies using this app on a highway.
On a similar note, perhaps a story about the lawsuit against Strava [bicycleretailer.com] would be more appropriate? A free cycling gps app that has the ability to ghost race yourself, your friends, and strangers was sued for negligence when a user broke the laws of the road trying to win a virtual race and was killed in traffic. See what I did there? A piece of free software, most people own a bicycle, tricky legal questions arising from technology, more than just an add.
But hey, what do I know? I'm no Samzenpus!
No, racebikes don't have speedos. Anyways a speedo has nothing to do with overrevving, if you're concerned at that you should be looking at the tachometer, not the speedometer.
Racers (at least motorcycle racers, I donno about cars) don't think in terms of "Ok next corner is a 75mph corner". They think in gears, as in "This is a third-gear corner and I should be at 7000 rpm when I begin my drive out of the corner"
It is the quality rather than the quantity that matters. - Lucius Annaeus Seneca (4 B.C. - A.D. 65)

Definitely the best remix of this on here, but...
The first 30 seconds were truly awesome, the intro transition from 8 bit I loved. However, I really felt the guitar part playing the main melody of the remix greatly overpowered the other instruments, to the point of barely noticing them in some places. It's still a good remix, I just feel you could have done so much more.
I have to agree with you. But there is a reason why it's overpowered. I do the mixing on all of my own songs, so I get to pick which parts stand out and which stay behind. And being a guitar player I would like my guitar work to stick out more than the other parts of the song.
BUT... I made this song before I knew exactly how to mix well anyway. Now I try and keep it a lot more even. I space the instruments out much more precisely and give them their own feel, not just as additions to the guitar.
I have a remastered version of the song if you want to give it a listen. I tried giving the different sections more variety and re-recorded all of the solos as well.
