text: Darko vs. Wade I think Jackattaq's last post on Darko was dead-on. And while I recently posted on the other forum, that I earnestly wish we had drafted Dwayne Wade, instead of Darko, the reality is that Larry Brown still doesn't like to play rookies. As magnificent as Wade has become (capable of backing up the 1 2 and 3 positions and getting serious minutes in the last two years for the Pistons)- he probably wouldn't have played. And Darko would have been drafted by a lowly squad, and would be getting 15 and 8 with a block or two over the last couple of years. We'd be sitting around wondering who this Wade schlubb is, and how much that 15 and 8 could have helped us against the Spurs last year. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe Wade's talent was just too obvious to miss, and he'd have made a difference for us from the beginning. But I think that Brown can be pretty stubborn, and would have kept him from being the mega-star he's become.

Indo, UK discuss civil nuclear, extradition, trade ties
Jul 08 2014 , New Delhi
During her "wide-ranging and extensive" talks with UK Foreign Secretary of State William Hague, External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj demanded extradition of British citizen Raymond Varley, accused of being a part of an international paedophile ring and abusing children in Goa in the 80s and 90s. Hague said his government will look into it.
In a more than two-hour-long meeting, the two sides also discussed ways to enhance trade ties with India inviting British companies to invest in its Bangalore-Mumbai Economic Corridor infrastructure project. By November, India is expected to give a "perspective plan" to the UK presenting various "nodes" where they can invest, according to officials.
"The meeting started on a good note with Swaraj thanking the British Minister for UK's decision to install Mahatma Gandhi's statue in Parliament Square in London by early next year... The discussions were wide-ranging and extensive and they covered a broad canvas in terms of variety of issues.
"They started with discussions on economic ties because these are very robust and there is a great expectation from the UK that these will be moving to the next level," Spokesperson in the External Affairs Ministry Syed Akbaruddin told reporters here.
Currently, the two-way trade between the UK and India stands at $ 15 billion with the UK being the third largest investor in India, according to official data.
Asked about the issues discussed in today's meeting, Akbaruddin said apart from economic ties, civil nuclear cooperation, extradition, counter-terrorism and cyber issues as well as security situation in Iraq and Afghanistan figured during the deliberations.
The two sides agreed to soon launch negotiations for civil nuclear
cooperation pact, nearly one-and-a-half years after UK Prime Minister David Cameron and his then counterpart Manmohan Singh decided to have such a pact.
On extradition, the Spokesperson said, Swaraj told the British minister that "India is very keen to get Raymond Varley extradited" from the UK.

So much for President Obama's hopes to make progress in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict this week. After meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, Obama had little to show for his time with the two leaders beyond the symbolic level of a tentative handshake to open their discussion at New York's Waldorf Astoria Hotel. —KA
The Guardian:
A final burst of White House activity over the preceding 24 hours failed to close the diplomatic gap between Abbas and Netanyahu. The Israeli prime minister rebuffed a US call for a total freeze on Jewish settlement on the West Bank. Abbas refused to resume negotiations without such a freeze.
Both blamed the other for the failure of the US peace initiative.
US frustration showed when Obama told reporters: "Permanent status negotiations must begin and begin soon. It is past time to talk about starting negotiations. It is time to move forward."
The US negotiator, George Mitchell, who spent a fruitless week in the Middle East last week shuttling between the Israeli and Palestinian sides, is to return next week to the region for further talks.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas shake hands on Tuesday. President Barack Obama had first met separately with each.

How Christie Ally Profited From NJ Transit
Shortly after Chris Christie was elected Governor in 2009, his transition team, chaired by close ally David Samson, came up with an idea: privatize New Jersey Transit's parking lots for a swift infusion of badly needed funds.
Barely nine months later, Samson's private law firm, Wolff & Samson, was hired by New Jersey Transit for $650,000 to handle the legal work to privatize those parking lots. The selection came in the same month Gov. Christie named Samson to head the Port Authority of NY & NJ.
The contract was the prelude to a head-spinning series of transactions between NJ Transit, Samson and the Port Authority, a WNYC investigation has found.
In the ensuing years, Samson's firm represented both NJ Transit and a private developer doing business with NJ Transit -- at the same time Samson supported transactions with NJ Transit as Port Authority chair.
Samson's private spokeswoman had no comment for this story. Samson, under investigation for Bridgegate, has had little to say since the lane closure scandal first broke.
Wolff & Samson was selected to represent NJ Transit in 2010 by another Christie appointee, the New Jersey Attorney General. NJ Transit minutes say the firm won the contract in a competitive bidding process because of its "extensive experience in real estate parking improvement projects, and complex state and municipal finance laws."
The contract was never publicly advertised. Instead, the bidding documents were distributed to a hand-picked group of law firms under an executive order that predates Governor Christie, according to Leland Moore, a spokesman for the attorney general's office.
The minutes say five firms submitted bids, but neither NJ Transit nor the Attorney General have identified the firms. The bids were evaluated by a committee and the "Attorney General and the Governor concurred in the recommendation" to hire Samson's firm, Moore said.
So it was that Samson, in his private capacity, became the lawyer for a proposal that originated in his own transition team.
Privatization was increasingly popular in state governments at that time. The financial crisis had blown a hole in local budgets, Washington wasn't offering money, and in states such as Illinois and Indiana, leaders increasingly experimented with public-private partnerships as a way to prop up foundering transportation systems.
NJ Transit has 48,000 parking spaces in scores of lots throughout the state. Proponents of the privatization plan thought selling them off could have raised as much as $250 million for the agency.
A financial advisory firm, Scott Balice, worked furiously to put together a proposal for private investors. Wolff & Samson's work proceed apace – the bill eventually ballooned to $1.5 million. But an obstacle emerged. NJ Transit didn't own many of the lots it wanted to sell. One of them, as it turned out, was owned by the Port Authority.
So Samson, whose firm was representing NJ Transit on the initiative, put on his Port Authority hat to advance the plan. As Port Authority chairman, he voted to turn over one of its lots to NJ Transit for $1 a year, according to minutes from the board's meeting in February, 2012.
That move augmented NJ Transit's portfolio and made it more attractive for investors. It also made Samson's law firm more attractive to NJ Transit – because it had gotten for a dollar what could have cost millions to buy from the Port Authority.
After the Record published a story about the vote – and Samson's dual role – the Port Authority's counsel reviewed Samson's role in the vote.
The conclusion: Samson "intended to recuse himself" and his recorded vote to approve the plan was a "clerical inadvertence," according to a letter from the counsel to Samson and released by Samson spokeswoman Karen Kessler.
In fact, the recusal process at the Port Authority was so opaque that it was almost impossible to know at the time who was voting and who wasn't. It is not clear that the resolution to hand over the parking lot to NJ Transit would have passed without a Samson vote. As a result, the Port Authority will vote on the matter again.
The decision to lease the lot for $1 a year "worked to the indirect benefit of Samson and his firm" by making him a popular man at NJ Transit, according to Martin Robins, director emeritus of the Allen M. Voorhees Transportation Center at Rutgers University.
As it happens, the privatization plan went nowhere after it ran into opposition from transportation advocates and planners.
"It became more and more evident that they were turning over incredibly valuable assets and locking them up as surface parking lots for the foreseeable future," said Peter Kasabach, executive director of the group New Jersey Future, which wanted the lots to be developed to for transit-friendly residential and commercial purposes. "It became apparent this wasn't the best approach."
There were other problems: There were other lots that NJ Transit didn't own that it wanted to privatize, and there was concern that in the hands of a private operator, parking fees could rise so much that it would make public transportation financially prohibitive. Though NJ Transit would eventually issue a request for proposals to take over the parking lots, the plan is widely understood to be on ice.
But Samson still had built a strong relationship with NJ Transit. So in the spring of 2013, his firm put on a third hat – as lobbyist for a private developer -- and quietly approached NJ Transit about building a light rail station in Hoboken near a property owned by the developer, the Rockefeller Group.
Rockefeller wanted to build a billion-dollar complex, with a 40-story office tower and 300 condominiums, in the north end of town. The train station would greatly increase the value of the project.
NJ Transit said the need for the station had been identified a decade earlier. In a secret non-binding resolution, transit officials agreed to pay for the station, at a cost that has been estimated as in the tens of millions of dollars.
The deal was negotiated by Lori Grifa, a Wolff & Samson attorney who had just come off a stint as director of Gov. Christie's department of community affairs. Her efforts on behalf of Rockefeller's development plan were so assiduous that she brought Samson into the discussion too, records show.
"I am getting the full court press on this," Hoboken's planning attorney, Joseph Maraziti, Jr., wrote to another Hoboken official in April, 2013, referring to Grifa's eagerness to advance the construction plan. "I have a voice mail from last night from Lori asking that I join a call this am with Lori and David Samson (Chair of PA.)"
Hoboken Mayor Dawn Zimmer charges that Lt. Governor Kim Guadagno threatened to withhold money to help the city recover from hurricane Sandy if Zimmer didn't greenlight the Rockefeller project. That allegation is now under federal investigation.
But while Zimmmer was getting heavy pressure to approve the overall development, the Mayor said in an interview with WNYC she was never told that NJ Transit had agreed to build the station near the Rockefeller property.
"What's surprising to me is that NJ Transit entered into this agreement with one property owner, one developer, without talking to the city at all, without talking to other property owners," she said.
"The process," said Peter Kasabach, of NJ Future, "hasn't been at all transparent."

I look forward to this time of year for many reasons, but from a food perspective, I look forward to strawberries. Here in Minnesota if you want strawberries in January they generally taste like cardboard and you nearly have to take out a second mortgage to buy them. But come spring the strawberries we get are sweet, juicy and delicious AND you can get them for a reasonable price. So last week when one of the grocery stores I shop at had strawberries on sale for $1.50 a pound I had to pick some up.
Now that I had these delicious looking strawberries what was I going to do with them? The first thing that came to mind was strawberry shortcake. But, of course, not just any strawberry shortcake. I knew I didn't want the shortcake to be a soft cake, because Steve does not like when the cake gets soggy from the strawberries. So I decided to make what is basically a scone because it has more of a biscuit texture. I also didn't add a ton of sugar to it because I didn't want it to be too sweet. The rest of the ingredients would add plenty of sweetness.
As far as the strawberries go, I added a little sugar and just a few tablespoons of Grand Marnier. I have to say, the Grand Marnier really put those strawberries over the top. It didn't add an alcohol flavor, but it did add a slight citrus flavor to the strawberries and it was SO good!!
Finally to make this dessert "supreme", I layered in some lemon curd. It was the perfect compliment to the strawberries and the shortcake. It would be a great dessert for your Easter dinner.
Drunken Strawberry Shortcake Supreme
For shortcake:
- 2 3/4 cup flour
- 4 tbsp sugar
- 4 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 10 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup greek yogurt (I used fat free)
- lemon curd
- whipped cream for topping, if desired
For the strawberries:
- 2 lb strawberries
- 4 tbsp sugar
- 4 tbsp Grand Marnier
Clean and slice strawberries. Place them in a bowl and toss with sugar and Grand Marnier. Let strawberries marinate at room temperature while you prepare the shortcake.
Preheat oven to 375. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Pour melted butter over mixture and stir until well combined. The mixture should look crumbly.
In a small bowl, whisk together cream and yogurt. Pour into over flour and butter mixture. Stir until combined and mixture sticks together.
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured cutting board. With hands, shape into a square that's about 8 inches x 8 inches and 1 inch thick. Cut into 8 pieces.
Place scones on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and place in the freezer for at least 1o minutes before baking. You can also freeze these completely, transfer to a freezer bag and then bake later from frozen.
Bake scones for 20 to 25 minutes until golden.
Allow scones to cool. Then slice each scone in half lengthwise. Top each bottom cut side with a dollop of lemon curd and a few strawberry slices. Put top on and top with more strawberries and some of the juices. Finish off with some whipped cream, if desired.

Want to remove processed foods from your daily diet?
Start small and once you start to get the hang of it, you'll add more and more things to your "clean eating" list.
Here are a few things that I changed:
1. Butter, not margarine
2. Plain yogurt and add my own fruit/syrup. Not flavored (especially not "low-fat" yogurt)
3. Bricks of cheese and shred/crumble myself (pre-shredded cheese have additives to make it not clump together)
4. Buy nothing with the words "low-fat" or "fat free" or "lite" on the package.
5. Whole wheat pasta instead of regular
6. Make my own salad dressing, not store bought
7. Use nuts instead of croutons on salads
8. Pop my own popcorn, no microwave popcorn.
9. Olive or coconut oil, not veggie oil
10. No mix drinks. If I drink alcohol it's a glass of wine or a good micro brew

Sept. 24, 2009
At the conclusion of the 2009 football season, the existing press box, which dates to the 1950s, will be torn down. Over the last several decades, countless memorable moments have been witnessed from the nerve center of the stadium.
In honor of this last season with the proud, old press box, an on-going feature called "Memories From the Press Box" will run on MGoBlue.com and in each U-M football game program. Written by the individuals who witnessed these moments from above, "Memories" will offer a different perspective of the events many of us remember after seeing them in person or watching them on TV. In some cases, it's describing pre-game rituals, in many cases, it's a specific game or play that took their breath away. Sportscasters, former coaches, athletic department staff, University President Mary Sue Coleman, they are but a few of the contributors who will be featured weekly. We hope you enjoy it!
An Explosive Memory of the 1969 Michigan/Ohio State Game
Dick Gaskill, Michigan Marching Band Photographer
I have memories from each game, but one I recall was in 1969, the first year for head coach Bo Schembechler. It was the famous game against Ohio State in which they said the Buckeyes had one of the all-time greatest teams ever assembled. Ohio State had not lost a game in over two seasons I think. Bo got his guys so fired up that Michigan managed one of their greatest wins 24-12.
During halftime of that game, the band put on a spirited show which ended with an explosion at midfield. It turned out to be a bit more than expected with an enormous blast scattering the entire band and putting quite a large hole in the new carpet at Michigan stadium. It was right on the M.
Needless to say this did not thrill Athletic Director Don Canham in any way, shape or form. Dr. Revelli received a phone call from Don and was told in no uncertain terms never to do anything like that again. In this shot, which I took, you can even see smoke around Dr. Revelli on the ladder. I don't recall what that was all about. Maybe the blast was set off by radio control over in that area.
There are many more very interesting and exciting events in the Big House as seen from the Photo Deck which I will never forget. It all started when brother Tom, who played clarinet in the marching band, introduced me to Dr. Revelli. He asked him if he would like me to take some photos for the band as they did not have a photographer at that time. Dr. Revelli agreed. When I stood up there on the press level and first saw the great Michigan band come on the field from the tunnel at 230 steps a minute and snap into the M and then march up and down the field playing the greatest fight song ever written, I just knew I had to continue doing this. Fifty-four seasons later I have only missed one home game and that was because our first son decided to get married on a football Saturday and I thought that just maybe I should go to that.
I have the record of the longest stint in a marching band without playing a note or marching a step. Along the way, the band surprised me and spelled my name out on the field. What an honor.
We also have a family brick over at the Stadium and would you believe it? It is right next to Dr. Revelli. My life is complete.
Dick Gaskill has been a Michigan Marching Band photographer since 1960, but has taken photos of the band since 1953 as a student with The Michigan Daily. While he has occasionally shot from the field, he primarily shoots from the press box photo deck to capture the formations. He has been with the band throughout the existence of the current press box and has over 87,000 negatives of band activities and well over one million prints. He also has upwards of 22,000 digital files since 2001.

Revenge is the theme for Brigham Young as they drop from No. 2 to No. 6 in the Nike/IL Coaches Poll, having suffered a 12-7 loss to No. 4 Arizona State in a rematch of the 2011 National Championship Game (which Schneck's Cougars won 10-8).
Off of that loss last Saturday, BYU quickly rebounded with a 10-7 victory over No. 24 Arizona, avenging a fall ball loss to the Laxcats in Vegas. Hopefully for fans in Provo, the theme of vengeance is over as BYU meets No. 8 Oregon on neutral ground in Berkeley on Monday in a rematch of the 2007 title game (in which BYU won their third MCLA Championship). Phil Keebler's Ducks face Dan Nourse and the No. 11 Cal Bears this Saturday, while BYU and Cal are slated to meet on Tuesday.
The other big headline of the Division I weekend is once again in Colorado as senior longstick middie Hap Knowles and the No. 5 Chapman Panthers go out to the mountains to face the No. 3 Buffs and top-ranked Rams. Knowles (33 GB, 2 assists) earned All-RMLC honors twice as an underclassmen at Colorado and lost to Chapman two times before transferring back home to Orange County to focus on preparing for a career in real estate.
"Hap wasn't getting what he wanted out of our B-school, real estate-wise, and wanted to be closer to home and the Southern California market," said Colorado defensive coordinator Marty Taffet, who played in Boulder with Knowles in 2010. "He still has buddies back here and we look forward to seeing him again. But we still want to beat him."
Maintaining an undefeated record is more the theme this week for the Buffaloes, though revenge has to be in the back of their minds after losing 9-6 to Chapman in Orange County last year.
Division I Player: Carson Barton, So., A, Grand Canyon
The young sniper from Edmonton has helped No. 21 GCU elevate to a high-octane Division I level and is putting up big numbers (32 goals, 21 assists) against the nation's top teams. Most notably, he had a five-goal, three-assist night against BYU.
Division I Coaches: John Galivn, No. 3 Colorado (9-0), Chris Malone, No. 4 Arizona State (8-1)
After taking some time away from the Colorado program, Buffalo supporters are glad the Galvin is back. "Limiting Chapman's speed, athleticism, and shooting ability in transition would be a great game plan, but we really need to be able to match them if the game gets to be a shootout," said Galvin, who is fully integrated to west coast, run and gun lacrosse. Colorado's senior All-American goalie Bradley Macnee gets honorable mention 15 Minutes of Fame for his 14-save, four goals against effort in the 6-4 victory over No.7 UCSB last Friday. Macnee is a Mike Pounds product from Ridgewood, N.J.
As for Malone — make no mistake about, Minnesota is a team that well deserves to be on the cusp of the Nike/Inside Lacrosse Poll week in and week out and the 23-6 loss they suffered to ASU speaks explosiveness of the Sun Devils who went on to beat BYU 12-7 as well last weekend.
Division II Player: Destin Seguin Jr., A, Concordia
No. 4 Concordia was last season's breakout team in the MCLA and is now a real contender thanks to a potent offense led by a silent but strong leader in Seguin (22 goals, 15 assists), a Calgary native. "Always there, always working hard, always positive; Destin plays healthy, plays hurt, plays until he can't play anymore and for those reasons, garners tremendous respect from his teammates," said Concorida coach Will McMinn. The junior was voted to be a captain unanimously by his teammates this year. Seguin's 45 goals and 34 assists last season were outshined by Josh Fagan's 75 goals and 15 assists; Fagan is a sophomore from Victoria, B.C.
Division II Coach: Kye McQuillian, No. 8 Liberty (8-0)
McQuillian is also from Canada, the son of a retired general in the Canadian army who currently serves as the defensive coordinator for the Flames. Though he has no hockey playing experience and played a little box lacrosse growing up before he became a part of Liberty's club as an undergrad, McQuillan primarily come to the school as slot receiver/kick returner on the football field.
In a week where two NCAA lacrosse programs were affected by tragedies while traveling on the road, my thoughts and prayers go out to the men's team at Saint Michael's and the women's team at Seton Hill. I am also brought to my Road Warriors piece in the April issue of Inside Lacrosse Magazine and wish all lacrosse programs, everywhere safe travels for the rest of the season.
As far as the MCLA world is concerned, it is interesting to point out that BYU promoted their lacrosse program from that of typical club sports into Extramural Virtual Varsity Athletics after a bus crash in the mid '90s. Additionally, the Liberty athletic department called McQuillian back to revitalize the program under a new, elevated clubs sports structure in 2010 after a van accident in 2005 caused the team to shut down temporarily. McQullian now has his alma mater in prime position for at least an at-large bid to the MCLA DII Tournament as the Flames prepare for key conference games against Davidson and Tennessee Wesleyan. Liberty's game against TWC next Wednesday/Thursday will be played at midnight as part of a "Black-Out" promotion; we'll see who Liberty schedules for that game next year as McQuillian applies to take Richmond's place in SELC/MCLA Division I for the 2014 season.

Polybutylene replacement with PEX - Can this be a DIY project?
Okay, let me have it!
I am buying a house that is plumbed with PB and I am looking to replace it with PEX. I am sure that this is a job that I can do myself, as the house is on a full unfinished basement, so all of basement & 1st floor lines are clearly visible and easy to reach. As for the 2nd floor, they are not hard to get to either & I am really good at drywall, so I am not worried about that!
About the house:
- 2 story home with a full unfinished basement
- 2 & 1/2 baths + other lines (kitchen, washer, refrigerator water line, etc...)
- water heater located in the basement
- incoming water line located in the basement
- PB run to the street (I will have this replaced professionally)
So here are my questions:
- On a scale from 1 - 10, 10 being the hardest & never to be attempted by anyone except a professional, where does a whole house re-pipe with PEX fall?
- Is this a job that you would recommend to someone who can handle almost anything in the house up to a 9 on that scale?
- Where would I find some basic information on installing PEX? (when/where do I use fittings, what type of fittings, etc...). My biggest question on this is when I need to make a right turn, I use a fitting to do this right, and not bend the PEX at all? I'm pretty sure of the answer to this, but I am just double checking.
- Any other advice that you guys might have to throw out there for me.
Thanks! I look forward to the answers and the butt-chewing that I am sure to be receiving!
It's a pretty simply job, and pretty much only needs two basic tools that cost about $100.00 to crimp the rings and a cutter.
Just make sure to make all your main runs at least 3/4" and the supplys can be 1/2"
A 90 can be done several differant ways, there is of cource slip on 90's but there's also a snap on plastic piece that holds the tubing at a 90 deg angle and can be nailed onto something.
If it's a slow 90 the tubing can just be bent. You just have to be careful not to kink it.
They make 3/4 X 3/4 X 1/2 tees to make it simple to run your main line and tap off for your supplys.
Where you run your lines up a wall and have to make the 90 to come out of the wall for your supplys to the sinks and toilet you use a stub out.
It's a 1/2" copper tube with a pex barb on one end and a caped off end on the other end. It's best to use one of the copper strips that gets nailed to the wall studs, the stub out is fed though one of the holes in the strip and you solder the tube to the strip to hold it in place.
Leave the stub out uncut untill you do a pressure test on the whole system.
I re-plumbed my 1500 sq ft ranch (with an open crawl space) by my self and I think it is doable by a reasonably handy DIYer.
Plan on how you will route the piping. My water heater and water supply from the well are in a garage on the right side of my house. I ran 2 runs of 3/4" PEX (hot and cold) from the garage the full length of the house and teed off individual runs to each sink, tub, toilet and shower. I installed 1/2" ball valves at each tap off the 3/4" trunk line. This lets me isolate everything individually without turning off the rest of the house.
Decide what type connection system you will use (expansion or crimp). Find out what you can get in your local area. I used the copper crimp ring system. Many people like the expansion system better but it is pricey and the fittings are hard to find in my area.
I assume you will be living in the house and need to keep the water on as you will not complete it in a day. Plan on how you will get the water turned back on with a mixture of PB and PEX. I used the crimp couplings made to transition from PB to PEX. You can also use Sharkbite couplings for this. Sharkbites are not rated for PB but they work (and are reusable) and you will only be using them temporarily.
It's pretty easy to do. You can follow the original layout as far as design goes and crimping is as easy as falling off a bike. Expansion joints, Wirsbo system, has a bit a of a learning curve and the tool and parts are a bit more pricy and only available at plumbing supply stores or through the web, but is another good option.
The crimp tool comes with a go no go gauge, http://www.hardwarestore.com/media/p...0_front200.jpg
It tells you if the crimper is properly adjusted or not. After making sure the first few are good, then you should be off to the races.
Personally I prefer to use the least amount of 90's that I can, flow restrictions, as pex can be curved/flexed to where you need to go. Careful planning and the spaces you'll be working in will dictate whether 90's are needed or not. Remember though that once it's pinched it's no good and that section needs to be replaced. I believe that the minimum radius needed is 6" on the bend.
Home run and manifold installs are two types that you can research to decide if that's the way you want to go, or stay with the current set-up, whatever you're most comfortable with. They require a little more planning than your existing install but can clean-up a mish mash of diy work, additions to the original water supply system and offer some good benefits, ie - more direct/efficient flow to the furthest fixture(s), etc...
Personally I'd rate this as a 2, on a scale of 1 to 10, but then I haven't seen what you're working with. The more planning & research you do, the better prepared you will be & easier it will be. The devil is in the details, or so I've heard. One suggestion I'd make it to install a 1/4 turn ball valve with a drain, a stop and drain, where the water enters your house. It's in case the entire system needs to be drained.
And I agree with rjniles and install stop and drains in each individual run for ease of future service requirements. That depends on future access of course, so never inside a wall without an access panel, only attics and crawl spaces.
Good luck. You might want to post your progress here, http://www.diychatroom.com/f49/ to let us know how you get on and for others for their reference.
I will take the advice of installing the cutoff/drain right when the piping enters the house and I am going to use a manifold system and install a cutoff/drain at the exit of each one of the manifolds.
I do have a question about the actual exchanging of the pipes. Should I plan on just connecting the PEX to the PB and pulling it from the other end? Have others on here had success with this concept?
Also, how often should I secure the PEX to the frame of the house? Every how many feet?
Any other tips? Keep 'em coming!
I agree with above posts, PEX install is relatively easy, not a 2, but perhaps 6 out of 10 IMO.
Couple of details to consider. First, PEX degrades rapidly if exposed to sunlight, so do not store it where it will be subject to direct sun. I bought my PEX in 100 foot coils, if you have a lot of work to do you can also get 200 and even 500 foot coils, saves on the per foot basis.
I use the Wirsbo expander system, which as has been mentioned requires a tool that costs about $300. Given the overall cost of the project, I did not feel that a $300 tool versus a $100 crimp ring tool made that much difference, and I like the simplicity of the system, but there are those who swear by the crimp ring system, and I defer to them as I have never used crimp rings. I have a couple of sharkbite fittings in my system, which I like where you need a disconnect. Sharkbites are a bit pricey, so you would not want to do your whole house in them, but as a disconnect for PEX they are great.
Make a careful study of the fittings you wish to use. There have been numerous problems over the years with poor quality brass fittings for PEX, see the Zurn lawsuit, and Wirsbo now offers polysulfone (plastic) fittings in addition to brass because of issues with their brass, or so I understand. I use entirely plastic fittings now, except where a special fitting is only available in brass (used to be you could not get plastic valves, now you can get them). Brass fittings are particularly troublesome in acidic water such as I have, plastic is totally inert.
One advantage of the expander fitting versus the crimp ring is the ability to actually decouple the expander fitting by heating the ring with a torch. The fitting comes right off, and you can reuse both the fitting and the pipe. This is very handy if you need to replace a valve, for example. I don't know if you can disassemble crimp ring fittings, I kind of doubt it, but perhaps someone who uses them can comment.
There has been a fair amount of discussion on this forum about the types of PEX. This relates mostly to the manufacture process, as there are three different techniques used (ion beam, polymerization, and something else I can't remember). I believe the three types of PEX are labeled A, B and C. I never could figure out if there was really that much difference between the different types, certainly the diameter is identical (ASTM standard), but you may want to research durability. I get my PEX from a plumbing supply store, not a big box store, and I am pretty confident it is high quality.
I was going to get most of my stuff from http://www.pexsupply.com/. Does anyone have a better source? I always like to buy a few extra of everything, in case I break it while installing it or in case I need it down the road. I like having a plan 'b'.
Also, I don't mind spending some money on the tools. I mean, I need the job done right & I paid a plumber it would be $4k, so what is a $300 tool in comparison?
I will use that & PEX type 'a' piping. I notice that the pipes come in white, red and blue. I was going to use red for hot, blue for cold and white for supply, does this seem pretty standard or am I giving it too much thought?
If I am wanting to use a manifold system with the Wirsbo system, it looks like I have to use one of these (http://www.pexsupply.com/Wirsbo-Upon...alve-8-Outlets), but what I wanted to use was one of these (http://www.pexsupply.com/Viega-36142...cold-Zero-Lead).
What I have read so far says that the Wirsbo system is not compatible with the Manabloc manifolds. Does anyone have any comment on this? I was really hoping to go with this type of manifold because it seems pretty simple to use.
Wirsbo uses exactly the same tubing as everyone else, at least in terms of size. If you want to connect the tubing to the manifold using Wirsbo fittings, you need a Wirsbo manufactured manifold, since they are the only ones who use expansion fittings, at least so far as I understand. But you can use any manifold as long as you make the connections to the manifold using manufacturer specified connections, which could be press fit, sharkbite fittings, or crimp ring type.
Any tips on how I exchange the two pipes out? Do I just use a connector to put the PB & the PEX pipe together then just pull from the other end?
199 Attachment(s)
Really? When the plumber came out to give me his quote (which is what started me on this journey) he said that is what they usually do. He said that it works in most cases. Then all he has to do is cut some small holes to put in the anchoring.

Question: I read the article on turning off autocomplete. This would work fine on my desktop, but not on my Samsung Galaxy 2 Smartphone. So, how would you make it work on this kind of phone as more and more people are using this type of phone over a desktop?
Good question – here's the way to do it for most Android phones. Find Settings – it is usually represented by a gear symbol on your menu. Then select Language and Keyboards.
Choose Keyboard Settings. There you can turn off everything from autocomplete to autocorrect.
Hope that helps.

With 10 Days to Go, Embargoes Up In SmokeMatt Vella
You've got to love the blogs. Over the past two weeks, the precious embargoes extended to journalists by auto manufacturers to keep quiet upcoming introductions have been violated left and right. That's right, on the eve of the Detroit Auto Show — which opens to the press on January 7 — we know a lot about what's on deck for the opening act of the year.
So far, ahead of schedule, we've seen:
—Chevrolet Malibu, a dressed up answer to the Camry. —Chrysler Nassau, a luxury coupe based on the 300. —Jeep Trailhawk, an edgy concept powered by BLUETEC diesel. —Dodge Viper, a whopping 8.3 liter V10 — enough said.

Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
Please explain your work situation. Did you work overseas or in the US?
in the US
Why were you required to end the time short?
budget cuts
If yo were on a temporary assignment and you were paid for your travel and meals then you can still use those against your income. You will need to include those amounts on Form 2106 and claim them as employee expenses. This then would be used on yoru Schedule A.
The per diem may be added to your W2 amount but you can show them as expenses if you use the Schedule A
so the answer is the per diem is still taxeable
Generally, amounts employers pay employees to reimburse them for substantiated business expenses are not subject to income tax or employment tax. For reimbursements for expenses for meals and other incidentals associated with business travel, employees get this exclusion for reimbursements for each day of travel up to the federal per diem rates without having to actually substantiate the amounts of the expenses. However, if an employer pays expense allowances that exceed the federal per diem rates, the excess amounts are subject to income tax and employment tax if they are not repaid to the employer, unless the employee actually substantiates all of the expenses covered by the per diem allowance.
A per diem allowance arrangement that fails to track the excess amounts and does not include the unsubstantiated, unrepaid excess amounts in the employee's income and wages constitutes a pattern of abuse of the rules for tax-free expense reimbursements. The finding that the arrangement is abusive causes all allowances paid under the arrangement to be subject to income tax and employment tax, not just the excess amounts. So if you were paid more than your expenses that amount will be in your W2.
Not sure I am getting an answer on the more than a year versus less than a year question.
The time counts if you expect the assignment to last temporarily. The fact tha it did not last as long as you thought does not count against you in this instance. If it had lasted longer then you might have had to include the perdiem in income because it would not have been a temp assignment. As long as you had to account for the expenses then you should not be taxed on the per diem.If employers routinely pay per diem allowances in excess of the federal per diem rates, but do not track the allowances and do not require the employees either to actually substantiate all the expenses or pay back the excess amounts, and do not include the excess amounts in the employee's income and wages, then the entire amount of the expense allowances is subject to income tax and employment tax.
Why do you think that you would have to pay tax because the assignment was shorter?
Are you in the military?
because my W2 from the beginning showed my per diem as taxeable since the intent was 18 months (and by the way the per diem is perfectly within the federal rate). When my assignment was cut short, my employer did not revise my W2, so my per diem is added to my income. When I do my tax calculation, I am being hit by the AMT, and cannot deduct the per diem. This situation would not occur if the per diem had not been added to my income. The fact that it is, pretty much mean that they consider the per diem as taxeable even though the asssignment was less than a year. This is what I want to verify.
Per diem payments are not part of the employee's wages if the payment is equal to or less than the federal per diem rate
Per diem is paid in excess of the allowable standard federal rate.The IRS regulations listed above cover when the per diem must be included. If your employer continued to pay the perdiem after your return then the extra is taxable. If you did not receive the per diem after you assignment ended then you will need to request a corrected W2.
Payments will be taxable to the employee when any of these situations are true:
Payments will be taxable to the employee when any of these situations are true:
No expense report is filed with the employer,
The expense report filed does not include the date, time, place, amount and business purpose of the expense,
A flat amount is given to the employee and no expense report is required, or
If the employer continued to pay you the perdiem after your assignment ended then it is all taxable to you. The fact that your assignment eneded early is not in the IRS regulations for thetaxable portion.
Your employer paid the perdiem on the flat fed rate and it appears you were not required to account to the employer for any expense.
The amounts paid to you are taxable. It is unfortunate that the additional amounts placed you in the AMT.
If you can itemize then the perdiem amounts can be used as an employee expense.
yes my employer paid the flat rate as long as I was on my assignment (not longer)
If there is a mistake and you really did not receive all the perdiem you are showing on your W2 then you can request a corrected W2 but if you were paid all the perdiem your only help would be to see i f the Form 2106 an dteh Schedule A will assist to lower your tax.
The fact that your assignment was shortened does not change the per diem and the tax
so you are saying the per diem is taxeable even for a less than a year assignment since the intent was more than a year.
I have a collegue that had a less than a year assignment and his per diem is not taxeable because the employer considers the initial intent.
Yes, unless you can use the employee expense option on the Form 2106 and the Schedule AI hope this, although not obviously what you hoped for, is helpful
Your collegue is accounting to the employer for the expenses that is why it is not included. If you did not have to give reports on your expenses then your employer just gives you the money and then you must show on your tax return that you used it for expenses.
The fact that the assignment is temporary is only important to show the IRS that you were working away from your regular tax home.
no - my collegue is doing exactly what I did. the only difference considered by the employer is the original duration: 360 days for my collegue, 18 months for me.
Then that is an employee - employer situation and not tax.
andthe 18 months for me became 360 days.
The iRS rules are stated and if you account to your employer then it doesn't go on your W2 if you do not have to account to your employer then it does. And then you account to the IRS by 2106 to deduct from taxes.
so the "original intended duration" is not a tax law thing?
I can not address an arrangement between the other person and the employer.
Not for taxes. It must be internal company thing.
this is what I want to make sure about. my employer (certainly in good faith) thinks they ar following the tax laws.
They are. For you and that is the real situation here. For you, if you did not have to account to them for the money then it goes on your W2. If you were required to account for the money an dyour expenses then it would not be on your W2.
http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-regs/perdiemfaq%26a.prn.pdfHere is an FAQ form the IRS that covers what generally employers must take into account.
again it does not go on the W2, and there is not account needed for the money when the original intended duration is less than a year.
Perhaps you can get your employer to issue you a corrected W2
It goes on the W2 when you do not have to account to your employer.

Imagine a person who doesn't believe in studying, yet looking forward to visiting the libraries, or a person who thinks that the movies do not offer what they promise, entertainment or whatever, imagine this person to say that he looks forward to see the movies! This is Gorbachev. Answering to journalists, who thought of him being a Christian, said that he was and remains an atheist, but he looks forward to visiting the churches, synagogues and mosques around the world!
Even if he sees the churches as just monuments or museums, I wonder how can he "look forward" to visit monuments and museums of deception, how can he even say that religions play an important role in society, and not a dangerous and catastrophic one, spreading deception? Was he willing to be polite, not to offend believers? Is this the reason, furthermore, to include many religions in his imaginary trip. And why not Buddhist temples, too, or Hinduist? I don't know. It seems that politeness is too complex for me to understand. I can't understand how and why it is polite to tell the others that you appreciate and admire them for being deceived!

This letter is in response to David R Gillespie's letter in the Sept. 27, 2013, paper titled "Speed Limit Hike was calculated."
Many of your statements are incorrect. The Ohio Trucking Association, which represents the trucking industry in Ohio, publicly opposed the speed limit hike right alongside the Ohio State Highway Patrol (OSHP). The trucking industry in Ohio lobbied against it, not for it.
In case you don't know, Wooster Motor Ways has had a partnership with The Ohio State Highway Patrol since the late 1990s. We have worked on numerous highway safety education campaigns with the OSHP over the years.
Our number one goal is safety on our highways and roadways which has been proven based on the fact that deaths involving commercial vehicles is at the lowest point since keeping record. Also it's fact that 80 percent of all accidents involving a commercial vehicle and an automobile are the fault of the automobile.
All of the trucks owned by WMW are governed at a maximum speed of 64 miles per-hour for safety and fuel efficiency -- they have been since 1995 and will stay that way.
We are one of the most heavily regulated and monitored industries in the country. Everything you own, eat, touch and use was delivered by a commercial motor vehicle. We are facing one of the biggest driver shortages in history (nationwide over 100,000) so please treat truck drivers with respect and dignity, and thank them for what they brought and continue to bring you every day of your life.

My problem is not with Wooster Motors. It is with the truckers that passed me when the speed limit was 65, and making it legal at 70 hasn't changed things. And yes I drive the legal speed limit. It will really get interesting when we get some snow and ice on the road and MOST 4 wheelers slow down and that 20% of the commercial vehicles don't.
The pay is usually not that great till you get a few years experience of driving, the test you have to take is very hard and a lot of people have more trouble passing the drug test. These are a few more reasons on the shortage.

Can't believe I am agreeing with some of the folks below, but I do. As eino points out, driver turnover and actually expansion in short-haul trucking is causing the driver shortage. I have friends that are long haul and friends short haul drivers. You can make some really good money as a long-haul driver, but you are home only a couple of days a month if you are lucky. Short-haul drivers are home every night, but deal with a lot of BS. And with the advancements in GPS, companies are demanding more from their drivers and are keeping them on tight schedules. As to Mr. Williams original letter, historically trucking companies have opposed speed limit increases, because of the danger of cars legally being able to go fast than trucks.
I'm wondering, why the driver shortage? Anybody know?
There is no real shortage in the sense that trucks and loads are sitting idle because of a lack of drivers ... that just isn't happening ... The "shortage" is in the incredible high (75%+) over-the-road driver turnover rate ... which is mostly about things like pay scale, long hours on the road, time away from home and employer-employee tensions and stress
It's easier to walk to the mail box for your check than to get trained, licensed and then have to show up for work on time. Then, actually do the work. Driving those rigs are not an easy job. God Bless those drivers!
You tell em' Paul.
Nice letter, setting the record straight. I'm wondering, why the driver shortage? Anybody know?

text: Show Hide image Politics 3 April 2012 The NS Interview: Alex Crawford, war reporter "You have to be scared, because otherwise you're not careful" Sign up for our weekly email * You rode in to Tripoli last year with the advancing Libyan rebels. How did it feel? It was like in a lot of war, or fighting – there's a lot of waiting. They fully expected to have battles going in and suddenly there wasn't any resistance at all. What is the situation in Libya now? Libya is a real fractured mess and that's quite depressing. The first big challenge was capturing Gaddafi and executing him. They failed. It doesn't look like it's going to be an easy future with all these militia groups, so many weapons out on the streets and no real confidence in the NTC [National Transitional Council]. Do you get scared? You have to be a bit scared, because otherwise you're not careful enough. Was this an exceptional year? Usually you'll have one big event or two big events a year that have worldwide waves. But last year we had a string of completely unprecedented popular uprisings, and the same group of people, a relatively small band, who were covering it all. For our generation of journalists, there hasn't been anything like it. Is impartiality possible – or even desirable? I don't think it's possible to be completely impartial. That doesn't mean you can't be questioning, and it doesn't mean you're taking sides. But it's very difficult to watch defenceless children being shot at and remain impartial, because that would mean that you're not terribly human. I don't know why people are embarrassed about admitting that. Do different rules apply in a conflict situation? Surely one of the skills of a good journalist is to work out what's right and what's wrong? I'm not talking about cutting the top rate of tax. I'm talking about whether it is right for a dictator to turn his army on his own defenceless countrymen and women. It's a no-brainer. The things you've seen must stay with you. They do. If you had a car accident you'd always remember that. They're a searingly vivid part of your experience. But it's all a learning curve. Every time you go into a situation, it doesn't matter how much experience you've had. It's sort of like you're starting all over again each time. You've got a bank of experiences to draw on, but every experience is different. What's the hardest thing? You have to be physically fit and mentally strong. I'm quite lucky because I have a team with me. If you're close to a team and you work very well together, like I do with my cameraman, you draw a lot of strength from each other. Are war correspondents traumtised? They must be. You can't see that stuff without being traumatised. It doesn't mean you can't cope. But all the foreign correspondents that covered the Arab will have seen traumatic events. It was happening all around. I'm sure you don't even need to be there to be traumatised. The editors in London who edited some of our footage were quite affected, because they have to go through a lot of pictures considered too graphic to get on air. I'm sure there are whole newsrooms affected. But that's the business we're in. What is important about what you do? The thing that struck me during the Arab spring was that while our journalism in Britain was getting a real kicking because of the hacking [scandal], foreign correspondents were doing a vital job. We were incredibly valued by the populations that were being oppressed; they weren't allowed their own independent media. Did you always want to be a war correspondent? I wanted to be a journalist – I didn't even think whether it was radio, TV, or newspaper. I didn't seek out hostile environments, they just happened to be all hostile areas that I was covering. Was it always foreign reporting you wanted to do? I was more interested in foreign only because the whole world is a bigger canvas. You were rejected for several foreign postings. Did you think about giving up? I got turned down four times for foreign postings and I never thought of giving it up but obviously I felt quite dejected. It's quite difficult to pick yourself up after that but I think it probably made me more determined to prove people wrong. When I finally got it I thought "I can't fail now, because I've badgered them for so long." You get asked a lot about being a mother. Is it sexist that men aren't asked about fatherhood? Undoubtedly. People have different rules for women. And then they have extra rules for women who are also mothers. How do you feel about being asked? It is terribly unfair, because most women who work who've got children feel guilty anyway because they don't feel they're doing enough. Seriously, I don't need anyone making me feel more guilty. I feel guilty enough. Why should I feel guilty about liking my job? I've got a role to play and why should I feel guilty about that? Most of the people I'm working alongside also have children, but they happen to be men. They don't feel the guilt that women feel, and they are not criticized for doing it. It's weird because the people who we report on think it's extraordinary that a mother would come out. They're terribly respectful and grateful. What difference does it make being a woman reporting in very patriarchal environments? The most difficult thing was operating as a woman in a western newsroom and getting the job. Operating in the dictatorial regimes across the Middle East and North Africa was a breeze in comparison. In many areas that I have worked, there are advantages to being a woman. You are seen as much less of a threat. My own experience is that being a woman can open doors, and you can get angry without people feeling that you're being too aggressive. You can be more pushy than a man. Does it help with telling the stories of women? In most of these cultures, women feel very uncomfortable talking to men they don't know. They certainly wouldn't want to talk about being arrested or manhandled or badly treated. Lara Logan was criticised for talking about being assaulted in Egypt. What is your view? Most women have experienced some sort of molesting while they've been reporting – even covering the London riots, I bet some women would have been assaulted then. In the big scheme of things you are conditioned to move on. Lara was brave in talking out. On the scale of severity, it sounded near the top end of it. Sexual assault is a difficult thing to talk about – for a man or woman – and it was obviously a very traumatic experience for her. Some said it might put people off sending women, but I think decent news editors will be sending the best person for the job rather than a male or a female. Lara's one of their top reporters, with a huge amount of experience in hostile environments. Were there any stand-out moments this year? There are a lot of evil people out there but also an awful lot more good people. People gave up their homes, their cars, the only food they had, risked their lives to help us. That was inspiring. Is religion a part of your life? Not one particular religion. But I think you've got to have faith. Was there a plan? No. I would have drawn up a different one. Definitely. Is there anything you'd rather forget? Lots. Trying hard to forget them now. I'd rather forget seeing people die. Seeing people in agony. Do you vote? I always vote. People died making sure I get the vote. Anyone who complains and hasn't voted doesn't have the right to complain. Are we all doomed? There's quite a big strength in people. That's what the Arab spring has shown: despite overwhelming, excruciating odds against them, they still somehow managed to come through. I've got a lot of faith in the human spirit.

Copy My Blogging System To Sell Your Online Course. Follow My Step-By-Step Blueprint, Updated For 2017
Are you a married man? I am! Happily married now for five years, one month, and seven days at the time that I'm sitting down to write this. In the five years of my very happy marriage, and my dating years that came before, it has become quite obvious to me that, in many situations, guys can't read girls' minds. I know, it sounds strange, but follow me on this one.
Have you ever been in a situation where your significant other expects you to know what they are thinking, and you have absolutely NO IDEA that they are even thinking about something? If you are a guy, you've probably encountered this at least once in your life 😉
In my Many years of marriage (ok, I know. I'm still a newbie), my wife and I have come to realize that if we want to know what each other are thinking, asking can be a very valuable skill that is often overlooked.
So what in the world does this have to do with Internet Marketing, Online business, blogging, etc? Well, in a past article, I showed how my 5 Question Survey saved me time and resources in product development. It's a very clear example of how asking your audience the right questions can help you accomplish your goals for your online business.
But what if you could read the mind of your significant other? What if you knew exactly what he/she was thinking without even having to ask? How awesome would it be if you could wake up in the morning, sit at your laptop and get a detailed report of everything your wife thought the day before, and throughout your entire relationship? How AWESOME would that be?
(On a side note: Have you seen the Movie "What Women Want" with Mel Gibson? That's EXACTLY what I'm talking about.)
Well, unfortunately for you and I, that won't happen. My wife and I will just have to go through the long, and sometimes painful, process of getting to know each other. Fortunately, for my online business, this is something that's very easily accomplished – Thanks to Google Analytics' Site search Feature.
If you're a blogger, you probably have a search function on your site. If not, you should definitely add it. It's an easy way for your website visitors to search the contents of your site. It basically functions as an internal Search Engine. Most WordPress themes have a search function built in, and if yours doesn't, WordPress has a widget that you can add to your sidebar.
Here's the thing – most bloggers have site search on their website, but don't use it to their advantage. Whenever someone does a search on your site, they are telling you exactly what they are looking for, without even intending to do so. However, you will never know what they are looking for if you don't have a system to report what their searches are. It's like having the ability to read the mind of your significant other, but not taking advantage of it.
Fortunately for you and I, Google analytics gives you the option to Track Site Search.
Before you can track site search on your site, you need to set it up in Google analytics. It's quite a simple process. Here it goes:
That's pretty much it. Now you are ready to use your mind-reading powers. However, make sure you use your powers for good and not for evil 😉
Now that you have your superpowers, it's time to start making the magic happen. Of course, it will take some time for data to start accumulating. Hopefully, you have enough visitors by now and they are actively doing searches on your site. If so, the rest is super easy. Allow me to illustrate by giving an example. Let's take a look at my Site Search Report.
When I look at the report above, it gives me some very useful details. Not only that, but it shows me that a number of the things people are searching for are very closely related to the content I have on my site. This makes me happy, and gives me actionable data.
The term that is searched most often on my site is "kidney". Obviously, some of the people that are using my site are looking for information on the kidney. And when they do that search, they don't find any results. Approximately 67% of people leave after not finding what they are looking for. The average user that searches for "kidney" on my site only spends 1 minute and 25 seconds on the site.
If I were to make a few videos on the kidney, that should increase the amount of time they spend on my site, and that would increase the likelihood of them coming back for more.
The next most frequently searched term on my site is "Action Potential". Fortunately, I have a bunch of videos on my site that deals with the concept of the Action potential. As a result of that, only 11% of people who do that search leave the site, and the average person who searches for that spends 6 minutes and 39 seconds on the site. Do you notice a difference? I sure do.
So the take home message here is simple: If people are searching for something that is very relevant, but you don't have it – start making some of that content and increase the amount of time they spend on your site, and the likelihood that they will return (and even share your site).
Seeing that this gives such valuable info, there are two things that I plan on doing. The first should be extremely obvious. I plan on making more of the content that people are searching for. It's easy to do, and is very relevant. In other words, it's a win-win situation.
Secondly, I plan on making a search box that's more prominent on my website, to highlight the fact that you can actually search for what you are looking for. That will accomplish two things:
If not, then you should start. Set up the Site Search reporting capabilities in Google Analytics. Have you done this already? If so, how are you using this information? Let me know what you think below.
Until Next Time!
I was just looking at the site search option the other day, but had no idea what it really was. I have just implemented it on my blog, so I'll have to see what the search results are.
I'm hoping that it will help me come up with future blog posts.
Thanks for the information.
This is a detailed post Lesle. Google analytics is very vital and can reveal some hidden details about search terms. I also make use of Alexa search to determine the exact phrases that are sending me much organic traffic. Tracking is very important to marketing on line and without it, it's like building a house without a foundation.
If you ask me, your guest article is superb and I encourage you to keep delivering such articles. God bless you.
Hi Leslie,
Great post, always finding ways to control a site, this refresher on a topic makes one go back and take a second look to check they are on the right path. Good insight and ideas – totally agree with Michael.
Keep up the great articles.
Very nice post Leslie – i followed your instructions and have started tracking the search now. From where would the report be available on analytics?
Thanks for sharing
Malik Mirza
Now they do have a couple of plugins that do bout the same thing but I will say use Google Analytics for the long run.
"Black Seo Guy "Signing Off"
Yes i use this way you told but i lack in checking stats of my site because i kept checking the latest trends and searches accross the internet by using keyword tools.
However a good tip thanks:)
Now it is posts like this that make me love reading other peoples blogs. Original and helpful as well. Great stuff, thank you
Thank you, Leslie, a lot of things one might be looking face to face but you really do not know its functions as it enhance your blog growth. You guys in Entrepreneurs Journey are doing great for identifying these great tools. The other day I read Ama write up and it was indeed awesome tips. This site is a real resource for any one that want to grow his/her online business.
I've been doing something on a simpler scale from what you have pointed out here Leslie. I already take advantage of the search data thats coming from the search engines themselves but not from my own site once they land on the site. I can totally see though how that would be even more beneficial than just the keywords coming from the search engines. It would be even more powerful if you could connect the dots in Google Analytics between how they got there, and their movements on the site, etc but unfortunately we are limited and only on occasion am I able to see that if its a 1 keyword search deal.
this is a great post leslie. I was unaware of the power of google analytics. I will definitely follow your advice and implement this for my website.
Thanks Leslie,
That definitely looks like an interesting way to do it, currently I mainly look at the stats on my Blog(s), and in the visitcounter where they come from, to get an idea about what my audience wants, also the 'Most Popular'-widget on my blog is a good indication showing me some of the most popular posts on my blog.
Only on some of my blogs I also have a Search (within my blog) Box, and once in a while actually get a report about it via email. I usully hardly ever look at and only file it. Only since most of the searches that where in those reports usually where from myself, I made it a habit to not analyse them anymore.
So I haven't looked at those reports in a long while. I did however alway's keep filing them, and since I now also seem to be getting a little more traffic lately and also actually get readers that write their Comments, I wonder if they might possibly also already have used the search this blog box. So I might already have a 'Goldmine of info about my Audiance' without even knowing:)
'Thanks for reminding me to look at what
my audiance wants, Searches can give a great insight!'
All the Best,
To your Happy – Home Business – Inspiration,
It is really amazing how much ideas one can get from analytics. I have found several phrases which were good enough for an article title, all I had to do is writing up the post. It is certain that my site visitors have been a great help creating the content.
Thanks Leslie! I had no idea the purpose for the search button. I just added it to my site and updated my GA account thanks to your article. My clients ask for it all the time on their websites, however it didn't make sense for mine. So glad I took the time to read your article.
Thanks for this. Very clever stuff! I just updated my account and site thanks to your article. Appreciate it!
Excellent tip Leslie. For my niche websites, I also use the search query feature in Analytics that show the top terms/phrases for which your website was found. Thanks for this.
good stuff leslie, i use google analytics myself because its really accurate.
I love google analytics, really enjoy seeing what kind of stuff people type in
I was hating Google Analytics due to the 24hour delay, but this hack rocks! I'm back to using it now. Thanks!
Great Stuff!
Hi Leslie,
Thanks for sharing this wonderful usage of google analytics. It would be really important from a webmasters point of view to know which words and phrases are resulting in queries. Google analytics has surely made things easier.
I got to this post a little late as I was going through my reader just now. Cool post. I've been thinking of dumping my search bar to create space for more "profitable" content up top, but this is a great way to use it…WHO KNEW?
That is really interesting, I will have to set that up. That is really valuable information and you would be stupid not to want to know what people are searching for on your site.
Great post Leslie… I'm really not into using Analytics… but now, I will surely pay attention to it… I will definitely be taking your advice… Thanks for sharing…
I didn't know that you can do this thru google analytics, I will certainly try to use this tip and learn what my visitors are searching in my site
This is pretty cool Leslie. It's like doing a mind reading trick. Really very cool. This would be really helpful for my business blog by giving me an idea of how useful my site is for my customers and to other potential customers. Thanks for sharing.
Haven't really used analytics as i've been focusing on webmaster tools. Will try it out now though as it seems i've been missing out! Thanks
Leslie, thanks for the quick tip…already changed it in less than a minute….now I just have to wait and see what comes back….
I had no idea I could do that in my GA, Leslie – now set up and running… Thanks for the tip!
Nice post Leslie.I use google analytics and It's an amazing tool.
I often look at the search strings for my blog and think… "I really should find some content to address these search queries"… but never really do anything about it. I really should write of find some content … otherwise it kind defeats the purpose of writing a meaningful blog. Otherwise you end up writing about stuff that you "think" others want… Nice article.
Hi Leslie,
How do you set up the Google custom search engine side of things? What you explained was how to activate a site in analytics. Any help?
Thanks Leslie, that information is gold… I have set it up and can't wait to get the data in the next few days.
Ian McConnell
That is such a cool application of GA – thinks. (Curious about how s=kidney, though!)
Very useful indeed, nice way to give our readers what they looking for.
Can be used to "spy" on the competition too and find what their readers are looking for in the most successful blogs on your niche and add that to your "things to write about" list.
Excellent tip, I still miss Yaro a little bit, but you guys are doing a great job here. Keep up the good work!
Great tip…just update my blog analytics…
I have a site search installed on my blog but I have never thought that this could be used as a advantage thanks for this article….
Hi Leslie,
Thanks a lot for this post, I am now on the loop concerning Google Analytics Hack.
Thanks for putting this together mate,
Great post! Setting up the function as you described is an effective way to be responsive to the needs of people visiting our websites. I was not aware of this functionality so I appreciate your detailed explanation.
AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME!! I have always removed the search bar… but now – it will be going straight back to the top of the sidebar! x
I learn something new every day.
In the old days of my website endeavors I utilized some of the free third party search functions available. The main problem I found was the limits to reporting capabilities. I then switched to Google's Adsense (related) search function, but it really didn't benefit me.
I like the idea of being able to pinpoint what my visitors really want. Once I implement Site Search I imagine it will be very useful. So a big thank you to you !
Does this also apply to bloggers? I think there's a fine line between bloggers and internet marketers nowadays…
– Jack Leak
A very good article and a useful case study!
I had never thought of this use, while using Google Analytics for my website, for a long time
For me. I don't have a blog, but my own site. I don't want to spoil the look of it with a google search box.
Thanks for the info Leslie! I have Google Search on my site but haven't taken advantage of the intel that can be gathered from it, until now.
Thanks Leslie, I've only just come across your post but this is really useful. I've been wondering how to find out exactly what my visitors are looking for/expecting when they come to my site. This will help massively. I've been using Google analytics for ages but obviously never tapped into much of its potential. Thanks again! Cassie.
This is pretty sweet. I didn't even know this existed. Now we are all more equipped to read minds! haha. I can't wait for the data to populate so I can see what people are searching for on my site. Thanks!
