Jordy's Details
About Jordy
If you're looking for surfing's next superstar look no further: Jordy Smith shares a birthday with surfing legend Kelly Slater – and he looks set to be the sport's new dominant force. Smith established himself as one of the world's best up-and-coming surfers in 2003 when he won the Quicksilver ISA World Junior Championships in his home town of Durban, South Africa. In 2007 at the age of 19, Smith won the World Qualifying Series, the second tier tour, and has taken that form into the ASP World Tour, where he has established himself as one of the most daring, innovative and most flexible competitors – despite his 188cm (6ft, 2in) frame.
In only his second year on the tour, Smith pulled a rodeo flip on a trip to Indonesia with the Red Bull surf team. The move is regarded as the most high-performance maneuver ever executed on a wave, and it earned him Web Clip of the Year honors in the 2009 SURFER Poll. It seems surfing runs in the blood, as well: Jordy's sister Casey is South Africa's top ranked female junior surfer.

For more information about National Park Service air resources, please visit http://www.nature.nps.gov/air/.
Ozone & Meteorology Monitoring
The NPS Air Resources Division operates a network of air quality monitoring stations that measures meteorological parameters and ozone. This is sometimes referred to as the Gaseous Pollutant Monitoring Program (GPMP). Many stations are jointly operated with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) through Clean Air Status and Trends Network (CASTNet).
The GPMP historically concentrated on determining the levels of two gaseous air pollutants, ozone and sulfur dioxide, which can be toxic to native plants. Other gaseous pollutants (e.g., other photochemical oxidants, nitrogen compounds, and toxic organic compounds) are also of interest to the NPS because they relate to physiological, morphological, or historical injury to park biological resources, or to global climate change.

Ozone Monitoring Locations
Most NPS ozone monitoring locations are operated by the NPS in parks identified as mandatory Class I areas. Class 1 areas, defined by the Clean Air Act, are held to a higher air quality standard than other areas. Some ozone monitoring stations in the parks are operated by State agencies.
- Monitoring History Database – Air quality parameters have been measured in parks since 1987. The database provides details on what has been measured at each location.

Ozone Trends
Ozone trends are an important product of NPS monitoring. Summary data from the Quick Look Annual Summary Statistics Report and the Annual Data Summary Report can now be viewed with the web-based interactive trend plotter. The present air quality can be assessed in relation to the National Ambient Air Quality Standard. Trends can then be considered to determine an overall condition. For more detailed information, see the Annual Data Summary Reports and the 2008 Annual Performance and Progress Report.

- Increase in Surface Ozone at Rural Sites in the Western US. Jaffey, Ray. Atmospheric Environment 41, 5452–5463 (2007). (pdf, 390 KB)
Monitoring Objectives & Procedures
- Provide data to help scientists' asses the risks that certain pollutants pose to natural resources in the parks.
- Collect air quality data in parks that reveals how well parks are doing with respect to the national ambient air quality standards set by the EPA. These data are also useful for EPA's New Source Review permitting program and Prevention of Significant Deterioration program which seek to ensure that new and modified industrial development do not significantly degrade air quality.
- Identify air quality trends from measured data to aid in compliance predictions, policy objectives, and regional air quality assessments in areas that lack direct monitoring.
- Assist modeling efforts, regional pollution and transportation studies, State Implementation Plan development (to address regional haze), and national air quality control strategies through special studies.
- Provide timely NPS air quality information to the public and researchers.
The standard NPS monitoring station measures ozone using a UV-absorption analyzer, a transfer standard, a weather station including wind speed, wind direction, temperature at two heights, solar radiation, relative humidity, and a wetness sensor. Additionally a stacked filter-pack measures sulfate, sulfur dioxide, nitrate, ammonium, and nitric acid, and at some sites a sulfur dioxide. Park staff operate the stations and a contractor maintains and calibrates the network equipment. Data are transmitted nightly, validated, and archived. Hourly data files are transferred to the EPA Air Quality Systems database and are available on the web.

YIELD: Provides 4 portions
- 1 to 2 large handfuls green pine needles
- 1/2 cup bourbon
- 1/2 cup grade-B, freshly tapped maple syrup
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons freshly milled black pepper
- Four 6-ounce salmon fillets, patted dry
- Kosher salt, to taste
- One 9-inch round wire cooling rack
1. Prepare a medium-high-heat fire, with the flames occasionally licking the grill grate. Let it burn for at least 30 minutes. Whilst the fire heats, soak the pine needles in the bourbon.
2. In a bowl, whisk together the syrup, mustard, and pepper. Season the salmon generously with salt and coat with the glaze.
3. Place a large cast-iron skillet upon the grill grate. Let it heat until very hot. Using tongs or one's own gloved hand, press the needles into the bottom of the skillet, taking care not to drizzle combustible bourbon into the flames, and place the rack on top of the needles. Place the fish on top of the rack and cover the pan. Cook until the fish is just opaque, about 15 minutes for medium. Serve, brushed with additional glaze, if desired.

Industrial Equipment & Rotating Machinery
Energy efficiency is a fundamental requirement for modern industrial equipment and turbomachinery, due to high/fluctuating energy costs and availability. The focus is on reducing fuel burn or increasing machine efficiency, depending on the application. To achieve targets, developers look at improving all aspects of machine performance.
Improving machine efficiency generally results in reduced carbon emissions, but engineers also must address emissions of NOx, SOx, unburned hydrocarbons and soot. As machines cycle more frequently, operate off-design, and burn multiple fuels, it becomes more difficult to meet emissions targets.
But you can't achieve efficiency and emissions targets at the expense of machine integrity. Industrial customers demand reliability, durability and safety. Increased cycling adds to the mix. More and more, the requirement is to broaden the machine's operating range for the current and perhaps other applications.

A Watertown woman was referred to Jefferson County Drug Court after admitting Thursday in County Court that she possessed an altered check that raised the amount payable tenfold.
Nichole M. Bell, 22, of 140 High St., Apt. 9, pleaded guilty to second-degree criminal possession of a forged instrument. She admitted that on Nov. 10, she possessed a check belonging to Matthew Paul that had the amount payable changed from $60 to $600 and deposited it at a Watertown bank.
If she successfully completes Drug Court, a substance abuse rehabilitation program designed to serve as an alternative to incarceration, her felony plea will be vacated and she will be allowed to plead guilty to third-degree criminal possession of a forged instrument, a misdemeanor. She then would be sentenced to three years probation. If she is unsuccessful in the program, she faces a sentence of two to four years in state prison.
In court activity Wednesday:
Anthony G. Porcaro, 24, Grove, Okla., formerly of Alexandria Bay, pleaded guilty to possession of an obscene sexual performance by a child and fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon. He admitted that on July 24, 2012, in the town of Watertown, he possessed videos depicting children under the age of 16 engaged in sexual activity and that he also possessed an unregistered semiautomatic pistol the same day. He is expected to be sentenced Nov. 18 to time served at the PSB and 10 years probation. He also will be ordered to register with the state as a sex offender.
Cameron S. Paris, 23, of 220 Winslow St., pleaded guilty to two counts of third-degree burglary. He admitted that he entered a Watertown residence Sept. 1, 2012, with the intent to steal something and that he entered a different house in the city Sept. 29, again with the intent to steal something.
He is expected to be sentenced Nov. 18 to time served at the PSB and five years probation. He also will be ordered to pay a total of $850 in restitution.
Brittany L. Dunn, 27, of 6246 Scotch Pine Drive, Fort Drum, pleaded guilty to fourth-degree attempted grand larceny. She admitted that on Aug. 5, she tried to steal more than $1,000 worth of merchandise from Walmart in the town of LeRay. She is expected to be sentenced Nov. 8 to no worse than three years probation.
David W. Peterson, 32, of 131 Union St., Clayton, pleaded guilty to driving while ability impaired by drugs.
He admitted he drove under the influence of an unspecified drug Jan. 29 on Black River Parkway.
He is expected to be sentenced Nov. 18 to three years probation and be fined.
Katherine G. Smith-Sykes, 52, Watertown, pleaded guilty to third-degree attempted assault. She admitted that she tried to injure Mark S. Zando on Aug. 17 during a domestic dispute at his Gotham Street residence. She was sentenced to a one-year conditional discharge.

the best reviews
their picks
what to buy
Experts agree: If you drive regularly on ice or snow, you'll be safer on winter tires than on all-season tires. Hit your brakes on an icy patch, and you'll stop a full car length sooner with snow tires, reviewers say. Tests by Car and Driver, Popular Mechanics, Edmunds.com, TireRack.com and ConsumerReports.org confirm this.
"It's true all-season tires offer a good compromise of all-weather grip, but winter tires are the only choice for braking, cornering and traveling through tough snow and icy winter conditions," say ConsumerReports.org editors. Canadian drivers know a thing or two about driving on snow and ice, and Peter Cheney of The Globe and Mail calls all-season tires "a bad compromise"
Winter tires aren't just for snow; cold temperatures can harden regular tires' rubber, reducing their ability to grip pavement. But softer, more porous snow tires absolutely thrive in cold climates. The colder it gets, the more tenaciously they grip.
Just because you have an all-wheel-drive car doesn't mean you don't need winter tires, as the editors of Popular Mechanics found out. In a test, reviewers drove two identical Chevy Equinoxes -- one with front-wheel drive and one with all-wheel drive (AWD) -- on a packed-snow track with a milled-ice underlay.
The AWD Equinox equipped with snow tires braked the quickest from 60 mph; when equipped with all-season tires, the same Equinox went from first to worst in terms of stopping distance. The front-wheel-drive Equinox also handled better when using snow tires than with all-season wheels. "On snow tires, both cars came to a halt about a car length sooner -- often the difference between a close call and a call to your insurance company," testers wrote.
When using winter tires, both models also enjoyed a slight advantage in acceleration, cornering (how tightly a vehicle hugs the road in curves), and climbing a 10-percent grade. Bottom line, according to Popular Mechanics: Winter tires trump all-weather tires in ice and snow.
Snow tires for passenger cars. Unlike all-season tires, snow tires have special tread designs and compounds to grip better on snow, ice and cold pavement.
Snow tires for SUVs and light trucks. These are similar to passenger-car snow tires -- and some lines are also available in sizes suitable for coupes and sedans -- but are top performers when installed on bigger, heavier vehicles.
Performance winter tires. These are designed for high-performance cars. They grip better on wet and dry roads than regular snow tires, so they're also great for mild winters -- you'll be ready in case it snows, without giving up performance when it's warmer. They don't cling quite as stickily to ice, though.
Studded snow tires. In the frozen north -- where black ice and packed snow cloak the roads from fall until spring -- experts and drivers swear by studded tires, which have built-in metal teeth to chew into the ice. Some states and localities ban studded tires, though, because they tear up the roads. The studs send a constant noisy rattle into your car's cabin, too. For most drivers in the U.S., they're probably overkill. You can get studded tires that come that way from the factory, or tires that accept aftermarket studs, which can be installed by your tire retailer for an additional cost.
Unless otherwise indicated, pricing estimates in this report are per tire, and for the smallest size available at retail. Be aware that larger tires can cost more, sometimes a lot more. Also, while installation is often free, depending on your retailer, you can incur extra costs for balancing, stems, tire disposal, etc. If buying online, some sellers offer free shipping, but others do not; shipping costs on one tire let alone four can sometimes be substantial.
ConsumerReports.org conducts the most exacting snow tire tests. TireRack.com, a tire retailer, also conducts impartial reviews and names best choices. Canadian testers are demanding and they often have personal tales to tell about how various tires hold up in their frigid winters. We scoured hundreds of owner reviews, as well -- they're an essential piece of the puzzle -- to find out whether a given snow tire will really help you stay safe in the winter. When analyzing these reviews we take into consideration how well the tire grips on icy, snowy, wet and dry pavement, the quality and noise of the ride while using the tires and whether the tread wears quickly.
Elsewhere in this Report:
Best Winter Tires: If you live where winter means at least a bout or two of ice and heavy snow, studless winter tires are your best bet. We name the top performers according to tests and reviews.
Studded Snow Tires: Studded snow tires are not the right choice for most drivers, but if you drive where snow depths are measured in feet rather than inches all season long, they can be a life saver.
Winter Performance Tires: Performance cars need winter tires, too. These top choices keep your wheels firmly on the road through snow and ice, and without robbing your ride of all its panache
Snow Tires for SUVs and Trucks: Tough tires for tough rides. Some are good choices for passenger cars as well.
Buying Guide: Need more info to help you make an informed choice about snow tires? Our Buyers' Guide lays out important considerations to help make your decisions easier.
Our Sources: Expert reviews and user feedback help us find the best winter tires. These are the sources we relied on, ranked in order of helpfulness, that we used in compiling this report.

They hosted New Year's festivities and now the Blennerhassett looks ahead to the New Year.
"I'm finishing the New Year's weekend off with a brunch for those that came to the event last night, then we start our planning for the New Year," says John Muller, food and beverage director.
Want to do something different in 2013? The hotel has got you covered.
"We just introduced a new menu with small plates," Muller says.
"We're going to start planning for our Valentine's... we've got another package going on coming up in February, the women's weekend and then of course we also do our culinary classes."
A new day, a New Year, 2013 -- folks around the valley share their resolutions.
"I think I'm finally going to keep my promise to retire this year and take my health a little more seriously and try to enjoy life a little bit more and have a little bit more fun and a little less work," says Larry Parsons of Kingwood.
Dolores Donald doesn't make resolutions but wishes for a peaceful world.
"No New Year's resolution," says Donald, of St. Clairsville, Ohio. "We just wish everybody a blessed, prosperous and peaceful New Year and everybody working together."

VERONA, Maine (NEWS CENTER)-- The 2013 Walk to Defeat ALS gets underway this Saturday at 8 AMat Bangor's Hayford Park.
ALS, or Lou Gehrig's disease, is a terminal illness that slowly takes away a persons ability to walk, talk, speak and even swallow. According to The ALS Association, there is no known cause of this disease; it can strike anyone at any time.
Thirteen year old Kevin MacDonald knows first hand what is like to watch a loved one suffer with ALS. His uncle, Bucksport native Cory Bennett, spends every day fighting for his life.
We spoke with Kevin this morning about his uncle Cory's battle, and here's what he had to say:
"He was in the Navy Seals, like on one of those big ships with the jets and stuff. I always imagine him jumping out of a window and shooting at a helicopter," he said. "He was pretty much my whole future. I've always wanted to be just like him one day, helping out pretty much everyone that I can."
He continued to say, "We started to realize it because his voice started to change and like started to get all raspy and stuff. That kind of scared me for a second. It pretty much made me forget who he was just by the change of his voice. It just made me think, 'how did this happen?'"
He also added, "I'm really hoping that they can find a cure. I'm hoping that one day my uncle will finally get out of the chair and come back here and visit. It's... I just really miss him being here, and all the fun times we had together with passing the football and climbing the roof. Just waiting for that one day."
To see Kevin explain his uncles battle in his own words, watch the video above.

Distance running is one of those things you can't take a break from and expect to maintain proficiency. And I've taken two months off of trail jogging. On Sunday, with a brisk 45°F headwind, I got in a little over 6 miles. Not long, not short. Both my ankles and tops of my feet are sore, sore today. And my upper back. Whose back gets sore from jogging? Mine.
I have a Garmin Forerunner 110 to keep track of my mileage and elevation. I live in the hills and basically ran to the top of my local mountain and along the ridgeline for 3 miles before taking a loop back. According to my Garmin, my elevation rise was 1200 feet. Which means I also descended 1200 feet. Not tough, not easy.
At this point in the picture below, I've run up on coyotes, several of them. They are funny creatures. They always stay about a hundred feet away and watch me with amusement.
You can see how the trail above winds along, hugging the mountain. I had Pandora Radio on, the POD channel. If you need a good get-pumped song, I recommend Execute the Sounds. It'll get you going. It goes 1, 2, 3, the crew is called P.O.D. And if you want to go to the tiptop. Break it down with that one drop.
So that was Sunday. Today, I ran sprints at a very deserted gym. I was waiting when the doors opened at eight. Me and half-dozen close strangers. Actually, it is one of the friendlier gyms I've been to. I don't like to be chatty when I workout. I come there for a reason and I like to stay focused. But I know several of the guys from just seeing them around. Good folks. Whose feet tops probably never get sore. . .

I got into the wood flooring business by accident. By that I mean I messed up
a floor royally and when I asked for help I ended up working for and learning
from the guy I asked for help. God surely has a great sense of humor. Because
of this "interesting" way of getting into the wood flooring business I can
relate to the problems associated with trying to install, sand and refinish
for the first time. I have been in the business for the last 30 years as an
employee of flooring firms and as a self employed contractor.
I now prefer to work as a teacher. My customers become my temporary apprentices
and my temporary apprentices become lifetime friends.

The retirement of Congressman Ron Paul from the House of Representatives last week did not end the Texas libertarian's influence in Congress. And if the first week of the new Congress is any indication, his influence has only multiplied.
Congressman Paul's battles to audit and ultimately abolish the Federal Reserve Bank have been picked up by his former colleague Paul Broun of Georgia, who scored 92 percent on The New American's "Freedom Index" in the last Congress. "I applaud Congressman Paul's efforts. He was fighting for liberty," Broun told The Hill newspaper, which covers Congress from Washington, D.C. The story, entitled "Georgia's Broun keeps Ron Paul's anti-Fed mission alive in new Congress," details how Broun — like former Congressman Paul, a medical doctor — has continued the anti-Fed mantra of Ron Paul. "My plan is to pick up right where Congressman Paul left off," Broun said on his congressional website, "I'm just going to stand on his shoulders and go forward in that same fight." Broun's bill to audit the Fed, which is identical to Paul's bill in the last Congress, is H.R. 24. Broun has also introduced legislation to fully repeal the Federal Reserve Act and abolish the Federal Reserve Bank (H.R. 73) and a bill to withdraw U.S. membership in the United Nations (H.R. 75) — causes championed by Dr. Paul.
The influence of Dr. Paul could also be seen in the vote on House Speaker January 3. Although Dr. Paul didn't vote against John Boehner as speaker two years ago, he was so frequently a lone vote of dissent against his own party he obtained the nickname "Dr. No" in the House. On January 3, some 13 Republican congressmen declined to vote for Boehner, many of whom got their start with the Ron Paul movement or were endorsed by Paul in the most recent election.

Only real problem I have seen reported so far. There seems to be a problem printing with some printers. Doens't seem to affect me. There were also a couple of really stupid syntax errors in a couple of the Config.in files in the kernel source. I had to fix these first before I could re-compile the kernel. They should have fixed these. This was reported last week when the errrata kernel was released for 7.1.

#ifdef ICAREWHY
Well, guess what, we got bit!
We use the data from the www.linuxprinting.org database to configure
drivers, and that data is rather large. The old version of the database
was in perl DataDumper formot (nasty, eh?), and a migration to XML
happened after the 7.1 freeze, but before the release.
But the original perl data was generated from a PostgreSQL database,
and the _real_ data existed as rows in that database, so the migration
to XML exported that data to XML files, but the semantics of tables and
constraints was kept.
So now, the foomatic system is a relational database of XML files. DBAs
can start crying now.
Using the perl XML parsers which where originally used on this version, it
took a VERY long time (~5 minutes) and a LOT of memory (~150 megs) to
compile the combo data for ONE printer/driver pair; and it took about 15
minutes to compile the overview.
Needless to say, this was a bit much, and prompted the distros (Mandrake
and Red Hat) which use this data to pre-compute the cache. This took
about a day of build time. I am not joking.
So I proposed to the linuxprinting.org people that we needed a C compler
for this, and that I would write one after we agreed on semantics and
everything for it's integration. I was trying to not step on toes.
4 days latter, Till Kampeter, who co-maintains the database, and works
for Mandrake, submitted a C program which compiled this data. I took
about 5 seconds to compile a printer/driver combo.
This was late in my development cycle, but I really needed this, so we
switched. It was FAST, everything was cool.
2 days after we went Gold, we discovered that there was a bug in Till's
code, which caused it to miscompute the constraints in a very few cases.
And the 'PrinterModel' option of the 'stp' driver, which is required for
the driver to work, was one of those cases. I was a bit upset.
There was a risk. The rewards were very high. We lost the gamble. There
is an update coming out SOON, it works but must be QAed.

Handmade Coat Rack

- Brian Hayes said...
Nice. I have a friend that did most of the side tables in his coffee shop this way. Looks great and easy to maintain.

Awesome job. Thanks for documenting.

I'm not sure what's cooler: the finished product or the fun you must have had with your dad building it. Just special all around.
- April 24, 2011 at 7:53 PM
- Ryan E. Plett said...
Yup, my father and I are always thinking through ways to make or fix or tinker on something... he is by far superior at fixing or dreaming up ways to accomplish anything...
it's astounding what skills people who work with their hands are capable of...
which people may notice here on the good old blog... I love shit that is well made and has a story... this will be used every day and always remind me of the good time.
- April 24, 2011 at 7:57 PM

Superb~ Love the new coat rack, thanks for sharing!

- Eli said...
At risk of sounding inept (which I am)...So you drilled holes in the wood and screwed the pipes together through those holes? But what's going on with that screwdriver?
- April 24, 2011 at 10:29 PM
- Ryan E. Plett said...
Eli- no worries, first we measured the distance between the two pipes... then on each end of the board at that measured distance we drilled with a 1/2" drill bit, a relief hole to use as the rounded edge where the pipe would sit. Then took a jigsaw and cut straight out from those relief holes to make a U shaped hole on each end.
then the board is simply dropped into place... no screw no nothing, the two poles hold the board in place.
Good question.
- April 24, 2011 at 10:40 PM
- Trevor said...
I think the "screwdriver" Eli mentioned is really a spade bit attached to the drill, used to bore the initial hole. At first I thought you just dropped the board down over the vertical pipes, but I like the U-cut idea even better.
This is really cool looking.
How heavy is it the whole thing? I'm curious how stable it would be on carpeting.
- April 24, 2011 at 10:55 PM
- Ryan E. Plett said...
Trever - Eli,
Yeah I think thats what he meant as well...
Trever- I'd say 25 ish... super light weight, carried it into the condo today with one hand and my bags in the other... should work on carpet as well... I'd lengthen the bottom feet though to be wider, I used 3" pipe out of the T's. i'd maybe step up to 5" on both sides...
glad you liked it!
- April 24, 2011 at 11:03 PM
- Ryan E. Plett said...
*Trevor! Sorry...
- April 24, 2011 at 11:03 PM
- Antti Ja Taru said...
Wow! So nice, just my taste. great inspiration for my new coming house. Thanks.
- April 25, 2011 at 12:47 PM
- Ryan E. Plett said...
Thanks everyone, I had no idea everyone would enjoy this so much.. I'm going to have to put my other ideas into play...
Next up: Bookcase, end table, and suspension floor lamp...
- April 25, 2011 at 12:52 PM
- Bert Keuken said...
Wow! Very nice, excellent execution.
- April 25, 2011 at 4:00 PM

I'm throughly impressed at the finished product. And speaking for us all: let's see more for sure.
- April 26, 2011 at 9:48 AM
- Mitchell said...
Yeah Ryan, keep em coming. I prefer seeing these type of DIY projects on blogs sometimes more than cool new threads. The way you documented it made it easy to follow too.
- April 26, 2011 at 11:59 AM
- AdoreVintage.com said...
This is fantastic. A future project to keep in mind.
- May 19, 2011 at 11:21 AM
- NH said...
Looks great! Any chance of making one to order?
- June 6, 2011 at 2:27 PM
- Ryan E. Plett said...
NH- probably be more to ship it then for you to make it yourself from parts at a hardware store... should be available anywhere...
- June 6, 2011 at 2:31 PM
- NH said...
Not sure we have the same parts here. would you be able to email me the parts list and measurements?
- June 6, 2011 at 5:42 PM

Seen the shelves @jwz made back in 1998?
- June 20, 2011 at 8:55 AM
- Daniel said...
Just wondering why you did not just use a T at the top corners instead of using the extra elbows.
- June 20, 2011 at 9:50 AM
- Tyro Prate said...
Really nice. My wife and are having twins in a few month and what will be their nursery lacks a closet. I had thought about doing something like this, but mounted to the wall. The only reason I haven't yet is that, in my experience, that black pipe is covered in a smelly oil. Did you use something to take that off, or did yours not have that on it? Are you concerned about damaging your coats.
Anyway, thanks for sharing this project.
- June 20, 2011 at 12:24 PM
- Ryan E. Plett said...
Daniel- just kinda liked the rounded edges...
Tyro- first thing I did! haha...
Goo-Gone spray bottle! All gone!
- June 20, 2011 at 12:39 PM
- JC said...
The top and bottom are reversed in the second picture, which is initially confusing as it is in direct contradiction to the text.
I had to read the rest to verify that the union does indeed go on the bottom.
- June 20, 2011 at 2:02 PM
- Ryan E. Plett said...
as the text states, we tried first with the union on top and then switched it around... not too confusing I imagine... this wasn't blueprinted out so we had to make it work...
- June 20, 2011 at 2:58 PM
- Asfand Yar Qazi said...
I was thinking of making a pull-up bar in my flat that could also be used as a clothes rack...... now I know how!
- June 23, 2011 at 6:44 AM
- Stu said...
I'm gonna make a tonne of these for my next home they look great!
- June 23, 2011 at 4:08 PM
- Jesse said...
Ryan, thanks for the great inspiration. A note to others who want to try this: don't forget to take into account the extra width that the union will add to the bottom crossbar. Your bottom pieces should be slightly shorter than 18" each if you keep the top bar 36". I found this out the hard way.
Excellent excuse to hang out with Dad for a day.
- August 13, 2011 at 10:40 PM
- Margo Anderson said...
To make a portable rack, you can mount the bottom flanges on a piece of 3/4" plywood with locking castors underneath. You might want to shorten the uprights a bit.
- September 12, 2011 at 7:45 PM
- Keith Sandall said...
Awesome! How long do you think you can go before you loose the rigidity if the rack. Do you think 5' would be too long?
- September 23, 2011 at 9:49 AM
- Chris Pollock said...
Really nice looking rack, similar to these clothing racks built with Kee Klamp pipe fittings.

Just wanted to say thanks for posting this!! I actually just built this and it was not to hard. I paid just about $76 in total.
- December 28, 2011 at 6:08 PM
- Steve Pena said...
Hello Ryan, thanks for sharing this great idea. I actually went out and madde 2 of these racks this weekend. i have to ask though how did you get all the black residue off the pipes ? Currently this is a big problem for me and I am assuming that you were able to strip off all the back residue so this that will not rub off on any of your clothes. I need to find something before I use these rack. Any help would be great, Steve firstname.lastname@example.com

- The Anti Blog said...
Great idea and project! I just made one out of 3/4" industrial galvanized pipe, using a solid piece of figured walnut. 3/4" is obviously more expensive, but it give it a lot more oomph. It might be the only thing left standing in an earthquake!
I also made a 5 tiered, 8' bookshelf using the same material.
Looks great, very sturdy, and quite functional.
Thanks for the ideas!

Hello, I love reading through your blog, I wanted to leave a little comment to support you and wish you a good continuation. Wish you best of luck for all your best efforts. clothing racks, slatwall display.

- wilson said...
Really cool stuff guys! Had a question I hoped someone could answer - I'm not all that experienced in this field and was wondering how you tracked down your steel piping. Does the local Home Depot do the trick or did you order online somewhere?
I'm thinking aesthetically, I like the look of this one and some of the other links posted here and wasn't sure if I should be searching for a specific manufacturer or style.
Thanks for the help!

Thanks for posting, this is really great. Question, did you find all the pipes and fittings just at a regular hardware store? Are they all standard plumbing components?

Your project is unbelievably awesome! With $71, you were able to come up with something I want to have. To be honest, I have never tried DIY projects but I will give it a shot with this design. I just hope the results will be just as I expect. Thanks a lot for sharing!

Wow...this looks like something from an Anthropologie catalog. Just gorgeous! I love working with pipe, you can make almost anything, but few things end up looking as good as this.

18 U.S. Code § 1514 - Civil action to restrain harassment of a victim or witness
(1) A United States district court, upon application of the attorney for the Government, shall issue a temporary restraining order prohibiting harassment of a victim or witness in a Federal criminal case if the court finds, from specific facts shown by affidavit or by verified complaint, that there are reasonable grounds to believe that harassment of an identified victim or witness in a Federal criminal case exists or that such order is necessary to prevent and restrain an offense under section 1512 of this title, other than an offense consisting of misleading conduct, or under section 1513 of this title.
(A) A temporary restraining order may be issued under this section without written or oral notice to the adverse party or such party's attorney in a civil action under this section if the court finds, upon written certification of facts by the attorney for the Government, that such notice should not be required and that there is a reasonable probability that the Government will prevail on the merits.
(B) A temporary restraining order issued without notice under this section shall be endorsed with the date and hour of issuance and be filed forthwith in the office of the clerk of the court issuing the order.
(C) A temporary restraining order issued under this section shall expire at such time, not to exceed 14 days from issuance, as the court directs; the court, for good cause shown before expiration of such order, may extend the expiration date of the order for up to 14 days or for such longer period agreed to by the adverse party.
(D) When a temporary restraining order is issued without notice, the motion for a protective order shall be set down for hearing at the earliest possible time and takes precedence over all matters except older matters of the same character, and when such motion comes on for hearing, if the attorney for the Government does not proceed with the application for a protective order, the court shall dissolve the temporary restraining order.
(E) If on two days notice to the attorney for the Government, excluding intermediate weekends and holidays, or on such shorter notice as the court may prescribe, the adverse party appears and moves to dissolve or modify the temporary restraining order, the court shall proceed to hear and determine such motion as expeditiously as the ends of justice require.
(1) A United States district court, upon motion of the attorney for the Government, or its own motion, shall issue a protective order prohibiting harassment of a victim or witness in a Federal criminal case or investigation if the court, after a hearing, finds by a preponderance of the evidence that harassment of an identified victim or witness in a Federal criminal case or investigation exists or that such order is necessary to prevent and restrain an offense under section 1512 of this title, other than an offense consisting of misleading conduct, or under section 1513 of this title.
(2) In the case of a minor witness or victim, the court shall issue a protective order prohibiting harassment or intimidation of the minor victim or witness if the court finds evidence that the conduct at issue is reasonably likely to adversely affect the willingness of the minor witness or victim to testify or otherwise participate in the Federal criminal case or investigation. Any hearing regarding a protective order under this paragraph shall be conducted in accordance with paragraphs (1) and (3), except that the court may issue an ex parte emergency protective order in advance of a hearing if exigent circumstances are present. If such an ex parte order is applied for or issued, the court shall hold a hearing not later than 14 days after the date such order was applied for or is issued.
(3) At the hearing referred to in paragraph (1) of this subsection, any adverse party named in the complaint shall have the right to present evidence and cross-examine witnesses.
(4) A protective order shall set forth the reasons for the issuance of such order, be specific in terms, describe in reasonable detail the act or acts being restrained.
(5) The court shall set the duration of effect of the protective order for such period as the court determines necessary to prevent harassment of the victim or witness but in no case for a period in excess of three years from the date of such order's issuance. The attorney for the Government may, at any time within ninety days before the expiration of such order, apply for a new protective order under this section, except that in the case of a minor victim or witness, the court may order that such protective order expires on the later of 3 years after the date of issuance or the date of the eighteenth birthday of that minor victim or witness.
(c) Whoever knowingly and intentionally violates or attempts to violate an order issued under this section shall be fined under this title, imprisoned not more than 5 years, or both.
(1) As used in this section—
(A) the term "course of conduct" means a series of acts over a period of time, however short, indicating a continuity of purpose;
(B) the term "harassment" means a serious act or course of conduct directed at a specific person that—
(C) the term "immediate family member" has the meaning given that term in section 115 and includes grandchildren;
(D) the term "intimidation" means a serious act or course of conduct directed at a specific person that—
(F) the term "serious act" means a single act of threatening, retaliatory, harassing, or violent conduct that is reasonably likely to influence the willingness of a victim or witness to testify or participate in a Federal criminal case or investigation; and
(2) For purposes of subparagraphs (B)(ii) and (D)(ii) of paragraph (1), a court shall presume, subject to rebuttal by the person, that the distribution or publication using the Internet of a photograph of, or restricted personal information regarding, a specific person serves no legitimate purpose, unless that use is authorized by that specific person, is for news reporting purposes, is designed to locate that specific person (who has been reported to law enforcement as a missing person), or is part of a government-authorized effort to locate a fugitive or person of interest in a criminal, antiterrorism, or national security investigation.

Warm weather is just around the corner, and seasonal driveway scammers are already at work. These hit-and-run crooks knock on doors, usually saying they just finished a job nearby and have leftover materials. If your driveway is already paved, they may offer to "reseal" it at a bargain price.
But the price turns out to be exorbitantly high, and the quality of the materials and the workmanship are rock-bottom. That "seal" will wash away with the next rain, and if you pay these scammers to pave your driveway, the asphalt will crumble in a matter of weeks.
The Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division has taken five driveway scammers to court in recent years. One scammer currently awaiting sentencing in federal court is facing up to 30 years in prison.
These con artists typically operate under a number of different company names, but they all leave ripped-off consumers in their wake. The victims, who are often seniors, usually lose $3,000 – $6,000.
Don't get steamrolled by a paving scammer!
If you or someone you know has been approached by a paving scammer, report it to the Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division by calling 1-877-5-NO-SCAM or filing a complaint online at www.ncdoj.gov.
This message brought to you on behalf of North Carolina Attorney General Roy Cooper.
