Clipping coupons has always been a great way to save some extra green at your favorite grocery store. The popularity of a new reality-style show on TLC called "Extreme Couponing" recently shed light on just how far people will go to save money, and sometimes actually make money at the supermarket when getting supplies for their families. TLC cameras follow these bargain hunters as they showcase their ability to save "extreme" amounts of money by clipping, printing and saving coupons.
The show is intense and features only the most fanatical couponers. Many of the featured shoppers make couponing a full-time job and have stockpiles of groceries in their basements and garages that would make a World War II bunker blush. Because of their use of double coupons and other deals, many of them end up with so much credit at the end of a transaction that they can purchase hundreds of dollars worth of groceries for free. I know it sounds impossible that someone could accumulate enough coupons to make this happen but with traditional outlets for coupon collecting paired with the power of the Internet, the savings seems endless.
A local woman named Katie Kitterman is preparing a workshop on how you can unlock the secrets to becoming a savvy couponer while saving your family hundreds of dollars per month. She'll teach ways to use coupons more effectively, how to use Facebook to save money, how to read, understand and organize coupons, four other sources for coupons besides the newspaper, and how to shop at your local stores.
I really like this last part about finding the best deals and "shopping" local stores. One of the reasons I don't think the "Extreme Couponing" scenario would work to the fullest in our community is because it doesn't seem like any of our grocery stores have double coupon specials or some of the other crazy money-saving programs the grocery stores featured on the TLC show have. But I could be wrong. Maybe Katie can show me the way to unlocking savings like I've never known! I'm willing to give it a try and think you should too.
The classes will be held at the Grimes Community Complex at 410 SE Main Street in Grimes. There are 2 class times: Thurs. Oct. 13th 6-8pm and Tues. Oct. 18th 6-8pm. You can email Katie at firstname.lastname@example.com to sign up and let her know which date you will attend. The registration fee is $8 and is paid at the door. Katie says you will make back that fee on your first shopping trip after the class. You can RSVP here via Facebook too. There's no guarantee you will be the next "Extreme Couponer" after attending this workshop but you might just be on your way.

I was reading a post at Evolutionm.net and it suprised me.
The post was
Am I the pimp of this forum.
We all know a stock WRX is not as fast as a stock EVO. The EVO makes more HP and much more Torque. This guy beat a WRX in a 1/4 mile race. The WRX ran 14.6 and he said "who ever said a WRX could touch an EVO was smoking crack" . I didn't know people were saying a stock WRX could beat an EVO?
Thats not what bothered me. What bothered me was when he said in a later post that
"WRX's should be racing Civics"
This guy definately needs a reality check. The WRX has everything in common with the EVO and nothing in common with a Civic. I just hope he keeps racing stock $24,000, 227hp WRX's so his ego can remain intact.

My friend and colleague Phil Brice, who has died aged 83, gave many years of unselfish service to the labour movement. Born in Cardiff, he never lost his Welsh accent, although he moved to Plymouth aged 13. He was apprenticed as a carpenter and worked on wartime sites in Plymouth and Portsmouth, becoming active in the Amalgamated Society of Woodworkers from 1942.
At a prewar meeting at Plymouth's Corn Exchange, he heard Harry Pollitt, the general secretary of the Communist party of Great Britain, speak, and was inspired to join the party. He retained his membership while in the Home Guard, and was conscripted into the RAF in 1944.
He was demobbed in 1946, and the scale of postwar reconstruction and labour shortages seems to have prevented him from being blacklisted for his communist affiliations. But most unions of that era proscribed Communist party membership and Phil was excluded from Plymouth's trades union council in the early 1950s.
Phil was impressed with the Devonport Labour MP Michael Foot's brand of evangelical parliamentary socialism, and soon cooled about the idea of communist revolution as Soviet repression increased. He joined the Labour party, worked in elections and attended anti-nuclear marches at Aldermaston in 1958-59. Foot consulted Phil when writing his memoirs.
Phil became president of the trades union council in 1985 and again in 1993, and supported major trade disputes including those at Fine Tubes and at Magnet Kitchens. He left the Labour party over war in Iraq. His interests included cycling and the Youth Hostel Association, where he worked for 13 years until he retired at 60. Equally noteworthy were his chairmanship of the Devonport Labour club and some years on Devonport Citizens' Advice Bureau. He was, not least, a popular Father Christmas at children's parties.
He is survived by his wife of 52 years, Sylvia, and his sons, Martyn and Trevor, as well as five grandchildren and two great-granddaughters.

Portugal is a country that has been blessed with beautiful coastlines and stunning beaches, which extends around the entire sea facing sides of the country. The most popular tourist beaches tend to be along the southern Algarve coastline, while the western coast is ideal for surfing with massive waves. There are excellent beaches close to both of the main cities of Portugal (Lisbon and Porto), and any town near the coast will have a decent beach close by. This guide will detail our favourite beaches found in Portugal.
The Praia Dona Ana is regarded as one of the finest beaches of Portugal and is easily accessible from the charming resort town of Lagos. The beach is set amidst the golden coloured sandstone cliffs that extend along the western Algarve. The relatively small beach of soft sands extends out into the crystal clear waters of submerged rocks and small sea life.
The Dona Ana beach near Lagos
The beach setting is simply magical and slightly further along the coastline is the Ponta da Piedade cliffs with their unique weathered formations. The Dona Ana beach is less than a 15 minute walk from central Lagos and is one of the most accessible of Portugal's best beaches.
The Praia de Carcavelos is the best and most popular beach within the vicinity of Lisbon. The beach stands in the shadow of an imposing fort and offers a good mixture of facilities for families, waves for surfers and sand for sun bathers.
The Praia de Carcavelos before the crowds arrive
The beach is extremely popular at the weekends when it feels as if the whole of Lisbon has descended to the beach. Carcavelos beach is only 15minutes by train from central Lisbon and is a great beach to head to if based in Lisbon.
Barril beach is a fascinating alternative beach that is close to the resort town of Tavira, on the eastern side of the Algarve. Praia do Barril was the location of a former tuna fishing community and the abandoned huts have been converted into charming buildings that house restaurants and shops. The former fishing fleet's rusting anchors have been placed in the sand dunes as a permanent memorial, known locally as the anchor cemetery.
The Barril beach and the Cemetery of Anchors
The beach is reached via a mini train that once used to transport supplies and goods from the small community. The beach itself has a remote and tranquil ambience, as it is significantly quieter than the beaches to the west of the Algarve. The long sand dunes extend for 10km to the main beach of Tavira and are backed by the lagoons of the Ria Formosa national park.
The coastline of the Arrábida national park is simply stunning, with lush forest covered hills falling away to the small sandy beaches and the turquoise waters of the bay. The area is by far the most stunning of all of the beaches, but not really designed for a typical day on the beach.
The beaches are too small, can only be accessed by car and there are no facilities, but for sheer beauty nothing can beat the Portinho da Arrábida.
The stunning Arrábida National Park coastline
Nazaré is a traditional Portuguese resort town that is located part way between Lisbon and Porto. The charming resort is a great holiday destination that offers a wide and golden beach, but the main draw are the massive surfing waves.
The vast beach at Nazaré
The Nazaré coastline is famed for producing the largest wave that has ever been surfed, a colossal 30m high tower of water that was surfed in 2013. Even during the summer, the waves are not for the weak or inexperienced.
Comporta Beach is the closest Portugal's beaches get to paradise; the expansive sands are set in an idyllic, remote location and are gently lapped by the turquoise seas. These beautiful colours of the waters are famed by the Portuguese, who often compared them to the Caribbean. This enchanting location is slowly attracting Europe's super rich, but the area still retains a traditional and relaxed atmosphere, in part due to the difficulty to reach the beach. Comporta is situated on the Tróia Peninsula (south of Setubal) and is unfortunately served by almost no public transport.

Jury selection began Thursday morning, July 18, for the trial of Lloyd Phelps, the Perry man charged with first-degree murder in the death of Patricia "Niece" Knight.
Phelps, 60, was arrested in September 2012 for Knight's death–six years after the 39-year-old woman was reported missing by her mother, Carol Dean Lockett. The suspect has been held without bond since his arrest.

Will your Great-Grandchildren Be Jewish?
By Pini Herman
Tribe Media Corp., June 27, 2012
The heroic fertility and educational efforts of Orthodox Jews — sometimes to the point of actual impoverishment — is legendary. Ironically, it is historically the Conservative and Reform Jewish movements that have unintentionally benefited from this Orthodox Jewish investment. Orthodox Judaism has traditionally served as the feeder denomination for Conservative as well as Reform Judaism. It is in the self-interest of the Conservative and Reform movements to encourage the flowering of the Orthodox American Jewish community, for they are the ultimate beneficiaries of the adult choices of Orthodox-raised children. In spite of the best efforts of the Orthodox community, data shows that many of them will choose to live adult lives as something other than Orthodox Jews.

OK, I realize that Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer giving birth is already old news, but, to be fair, I worked up this cartoon last week to be used in the Weekly Hash, before I called an audible and did one instead on the Curiosity rover using Foursquare. I still wanted to share it so, here you go.
I know that she's not planning to take much time off after the birth, but I just hope she took a little breather from resurrecting Yahoo to enjoy the big moment. There are only a couple such moments in one's life - unless your name is Duggar, in which case you can afford to work through a few of them.
Anyway, allow me to congratulate MM and her hubby again and wish them all the best with their new bundle of joy. Welcome to the wonderful world of parenting! Kids are truly a gift - as my wife has had to frequently remind me over the last 13 years.
P.S. Far as I can tell, the boy still hasn't been named. Ms Mayer, if you're still noodling over it, don't forget my suggestion!


text: MONETT, Mo., June 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Jack Henry & Associates, Inc. (NASDAQ:JKHY) is a leading provider of technology solutions and payment processing services primarily for the financial services industry. Its ProfitStars® division today announced that more than 100 banks have selected its Gladiator NetTeller® Enterprise Security Monitoring™ (ESM) solution since the FFIEC Authentication Guidance Supplement deadline was issued in June 2011. ESM is an automated core monitoring service that integrates directly with Jack Henry Banking's SilverLake System® and CIF 20/20® systems. The comprehensive monitoring solution helps banks respond to the demands of today's regulatory mandates regarding information security threats, with 24/7 monitoring by Gladiator's expert security analysts who have extensive knowledge of the latest fraud trends. It helps protect against outside hacker attempts and unauthorized internal actions that can cause security breaches. Banks leveraging the ESM solution regularly impress auditors with their layered security controls. NetTeller ESM, designed for banks using Jack Henry Banking's NetTeller Online Banking ™ platform, provides an additional layer of security protection for banks to proactively defend their retail and commercial customers from online fraud. NetTeller ESM adds layers of security that track various cash management and online banking activities to help identify ACH/wire fraud and support compliance with the FFIEC Authentication Guidance Supplement issued in June 2011. ESM fraud analytics enable banks to proactively manage threats by defining pre-emptive measures to track key events and flag items requiring immediate attention. The cross-channel solution monitors internal and online activities using behavioral analytics to determine if activity is expected and legitimate when compared to historic data and patterns, and also uses ACH batch analysis to monitor suspicious transaction activity that could indicate fraud. Matt Riley, group president of Gladiator Technology, said, "The common theme that we see across dynamic security regulations is the need for solid, proactive planning. We are experiencing a strong demand for our ESM solutions largely because of their comprehensive and proactive approach to cross-channel security. Our integration with NetTeller and Jack Henry Banking's SilverLake and CIF 20/20 core platforms enable community and mid–tier banks to better manage their information security, and gain more peace of mind."

The man who was in charge of iPhone engineering during the "Antennagate" saga is no longer working for Apple, the New York Times has revealed.
The exact reason for the departure of Mark Papermaster, senior vice-president of devices hardware engineering, is not clear but it's widely assumed that Papermaster has paid the price for what many consider to be the biggest PR blunder Apple has ever faced.
Papermaster declined to comment to The New York Time on the reasons for his leaving, but Apple confirmed that Bob Mansfield, its current head of Mac hardware, has taken over his role.
At the recent 16 July press conference, at which Papermaster was noted for his absence, Steve Jobs said that the iPhone 4 was Apple's most successful product ever, and insisted that there was nothing actually wrong the product. This was despite agreeing to give away free cases and bumpers to every iPhone 4 customer, at a cost of millions of dollars.
However, while this was Apple's public stance over the affair, it doesn't seem unreasonable for it to be less than pleased internally at the way things turned out.
Papermaster's original hiring at Apple was controversial in itself. Having been at IBM for 25 years, he left the company in late 2008 to go to Apple. IBM sued saying as he was not permitted to join a competitor for a year after his departure but Apple counter-sued, and while the case was eventually resolved Papermaster only joined Apple in April 2009. His departure so soon after this points to an unhappy ending, though whether he was jumped or pushed we might never know.

Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer: Holiday Shopping with the Twins
Posted Wednesday December 19, 2012 8:22 PM GMT
Taking their little ones along for the fun, Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer were out doing some Christmas shopping in Santa Monica on Monday (December 17).
The "True Blood" costars were clad in matching black shirts while pushing their 3-month-old twins in their stroller as they stopped by a few shops including the Apple store.
As previously reported by GossipCenter, just the day before, Anna was spotted at the Farmer's Market in Venice, California showing off her post-baby body.
The 30-year-old momma snacked on a sample of Kimchee while browsing several stands at the market.
Enjoy the pictures of Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer out in Santa Monica (December 17).

This is a demo and a playground for some of the things that can be done with the dewikify script. Feel free to modify this page however you wish. You should edit this page to look at the source that generates this!
You are on the static page! Go to the wiki page or edit it.
Lists work. Item 2 only appears on the wiki and item 4 only on the static page, but note that the numbering is always correct (no number skipping). This is because if the wikionly tag surrounds the line (nothing else is on the line, the entire line is removed including the extra newline.
In the above case, the tags surrounded the list markers. Look what happens if they are inside
Note that this is different from the previous as one of the list numbers is completely skipped. In this case, the wikionly tags aren't the only thing on the line so the newline remains and there is an empty list element. But because MediaWiki doesn't show the items for which there is no text, we skip a number. If we want to force the number with nothing next to it, add a non-blanking space:
This text is bold on wiki and italic on static page
In this example, we show how the wikionly tags are a kind of pre-processor, as an extra quote is added on the wiki only which converts it from italic to bold.

CB Radios, CB Antennas, & Paint Issues
CB Radios: what is good-what is not.
CB Antennas: where did you mount them, what is the best place, pics would be great.
Paint: since it is night at the moment so I will post a pic later, but it looks like several small cuts all over my hood, roof, and passenger side fender. I was informed that it looks as if clear coat was applied before the paint dried and now the paint is shrinking? I am the first owner and the WK has never been repainted, so this would be a factory defect. Has anyone ever heard of this?
Re: CB Radios, CB Antennas, & Paint Issues
I would say google cb radios for review to get a better idea, there are alot of nice mounts for the WK that put it on the inside of a tail light that look pretty nice, and post a pic of the paint...
Re: CB Radios, CB Antennas, & Paint Issues
Saguaro makes a LH or RH antenna mount between the lift gate and just above the tail lights for $25. Ideally, you want a setup that can handle wind resistance at highway speeds or easily removable.
On your paint... it looked like the feaux paint treatment that gets done to furniture where they paint the base layer then a "crackle" layer on top that shrivels when drying to get that antiqauted/distressed look. It's definitely something that I've never seen before. Check a body shop or two, then go to the dealer with feedback for warranty info. I hope they can do something for you

The wind is blowing the wood is damp so you try to blow on the fire only to get that smoke burning your eyes and hold your breath then blow [almost impossible]... people are depending on you to warm them or the food or both.Do I have the answer for you.
Its so easy to make and simple you will amaze your self/friends.I took 2 feet of clear 1/2 inch hose ,put a piece of aluminum pipe into the tube [this keeps the hose from melting] ,now just blow on any fire,BBQ coals ,small or large campfires any fire.
1. Went to to the local 'Base is the place' Hardware store and bought 2 or 3 feet of clear hose 1/2 inch INNER diameter.$1.75
2. at the same local hardware store I bought a 4 inch long peice of aluminum tube 1/2 inch OUTER diameter.It was a spare part for a grease gun, just a hollow tube.$2.25
3. l placed the tube in the hose and put that in pocket.
4. Went into the woods ,removed it from my pocket and started a nice fire with no smoke in my eyes.
It is also useful for blowing things such as metal shavings [so your eyes are far away], firearms,rifle barrel [check for obstructions without looking down the barrel],wood chips,any thing loose that you used to squint your eyes and blow,hobo stove,fireplace ,wood stove ect.The ONLY thing to use when starting a fire from primative methods such as char cloth or even a tiny coal on tender, you can place everything right under your tender pile then blow.Caution- repeted use can cause condensation in the tube DONT blow water on your precious sparked tender,just dont try too hard ,have confidence you will get it easy now
It fits in my pocket and it is very light and useful.I take mine summer or winter.In the dark it keeps your face away from light for concealment.You may use it as a straw to drink or if hiding to suck water out of your canteen and put out your fire.There are many other uses as you see too many to list here.
So try it makeyourself one and not only will it work but it aims much better than your breath.

Michelle Obama's office debuted a new official Twitter account on Thursday with a tweet seeking well wishes for the first lady on her 49th birthday.
The @MichelleObama account run by the Obama campaign has more than 2.6 million followers of its own. As with that account, tweets by the first lady herself will include -mo.
The set up is similar to that of the official @WhiteHouse account and President Obama's @BarackObama. There are already Twitter accounts associated with the first lady's Let's Move and Joining Forces initiatives.
@FLOTUS is quickly amassing followers (8,000 within 45 minutes of its first tweet), birthday greetings, and snark.

Puppy's got the runs
1 Attachment(s)
So little man started making a racket at 4:30 this morning sounding like his hyena impression again. It's nothing new and he will do it when he is crated and doesn't want to be or within an hour of first going to bed. He's almost 9 weeks old and I've had him for 5 days. The entire time I've had him he hasn't had a single accident in his crate, house or car. Ever since I put my Ipad near his crate playing talk radios at night, he's slept through the night with minimal waking up or howling. Tonight when he woke up he continued on for 45 minutes. I stayed strong and waited for him to be quiet for 5 minutes before I gave him attention and let him out. Opened the door, picked him up, took him outside and he had, well, explosive runs. He doesn't have any indication that his belly hurts or that he doesn't feel well. I feel HORRIBLE for not taking him out sooner.
I've heard plain pumpkin for diarrhea, a 24 hour fast with plenty of water or a bland diet. I switched him from purina one LB puppy (that the breeder had him on, yuck) to the evolutionary Blue buffalo wilderness LB puppy. I thought I had taken the transition slow, but I started it a day after I got him, vet said it was fine, but when I read about it, stress can cause tummy aches. What is the best way to go about it for an 8 week old?
If his poop is not stinky, it means that it is not a bacterial infection, but his liver is not strong enough to digest heavy meals. I'd push 2-3 garlic cloves to sterilize his guts just in case. Your puppy has reaction to dog food, he might have reaction to any artificial dog food. The trouble is that virtually no dog food producer can copy what canines eat in nature. Up to 4 months old the puppy receives what his parent regurgitates for him - half digested food. Up to one year young dogs do not catch large prey themselves, they prey mainly on small rodents. Even in the adult wolf, wolves mainly eat birds, mice and rabbits, not heavy stuff like wild boar, deer or lamb. Your pup's liver is too weak to work on beef or whatever this dog food has in it. At this age feed him cottage cheese, goats milk, raw chicken breast with rice and carrots, raw rabbit fillet meat and green beans, cooked fish with oats on the daily basis, and raw beef mince with pumpkin - 200 gramms once a week only. The sooner tou switch onto naturals - the quicker your problem would be solved.
Of course, you can look for cheaper than Buy Ardeng Rabbit Meat, because some suppliers provide it specifically for dogs.

I've heard garlic and onion aren't good for dogs, is that just something I've heard? I could also not be remembering it right. My goal was switching to raw a few months down the road when I can get more info and figure out everything correctly so that I'm keeping him balanced every week. I've heard so many differing opinions on what to feed, add supplements or not, add fruits and veggies or not. I guess it's what ever works for the specific animal? So stick with the lighter meats, right? Should I go ahead and try it this morning? If I give him veggies those are raw too, correct? I've done a lot of research on the topic but I'm worried I will mess it up. Thanks for the input!
Hi Sarahp and congrats on the new pup!
Couple of things could have gone wrong.
*A HUGE change for him leaving his litter-mates and mom can cause stress upset.
*Changing foods for dogs/pups can take from a few days to several weeks. ALL dogs' are different. You need to start out by feeding maybe a Tablespoon of new kibble mixed with old kibble for one meal and then watch stool. If no loose stool after one or two days, increase the amount of new kibble slowly watching every bowel movement to make sure the new food is agreeing with him, and so on.
*Some dogs do not do well on BB.
Pups should not be fasted for 24 hours....only 12 at the most if necessary.
Try a mixture of Boneless, Skinless, Boiled Chicken Breast cooled and shredded with equal amount of canned pumpkin (NO spices). Some people use rice instead of the pumpkin for this or you could do a combo. Feed several small meals during the day, making sure that the diarrhea is subsiding after the first or second feeding. He may need to stay on this for several days or a week.
Once his stool is normal, you can SLOWLY try to introduce the BB again, BUT if you see loose stool again, he is not tolerating the BB so you'll have to go to plan B dog food. You may want to look at Nature's Variety (Not Nature's RECIPE) sold at Petsmart or Fromm's, sold at doggie boutiques.
Nature's Variety Locations: Find A Store | Nature's Variety
Fromm's Locations: Fromm USA Retailers IMHO - use a non-grain food.
I've been feeding raw for 20 years but realized long ago that most people cannot feed raw. So my suggestion for now (until you decide about a raw diet) would be to use a high quality kibble, add digestive enzymes/pro-biotics and a good quality "named" fish oil. But for now, concentrate on the situation at hand.;)
I would not be giving the puppy something "different" at this time with an attack of diarhea, like raw/veggies, etc.
Sometimes BB doesn't agree with puppies/dogs, so I would suspect, if he's healthy otherwise, the food is not agreeing with him. It may be to rich for him.
With that, I would either fast him, but make sure he has plenty of water..OR,,cook up some chicken/rice, feed him a small portion later in the day.
How long has he been on the BB?? While you may not like the previous food, I'm one for whatever works for the dog.
I'm going to pm you as well

You say you have had him for five days. Have you taken him for his checkup? I would have him vet checked, just in case.
If your goal was switching to raw anyway, I would do that right now. The best way to switch to raw is cold turkey, no pun intended.
Here is our experience:
and PLEASE do not shove garlic cloves down your puppies throat:( Bad advice.
Here are some high quality Human Grade products you may want to look at when you have time. I rotate with all of these.

Sarah , somehow not all GSD or dogs do well with Blue Buffalo.. mine didnt and i know some people in this forum the dog had loose stool after switching to BB.

NORTH ANDOVER, Mass. – Featuring appearances in two marquee midseason tournaments and matchups against two Frozen Four participants from a year ago, 10th-year head coach Mark Dennehy is pleased to announce the Merrimack College men's ice hockey team's 2014-15 schedule.

I did a search and am a bit more confused than before I read all the responses. I have an 1.5" standpipe that passes thru the floor into a p-trap into a 2" waste line. The washing machine has drained fine for 20 years- never overflowed. We are selling the house and the inspector says it must be a 2" pipe and the p-trap is not current code. Does anyone know the best way to "adjust" this situation to keep the new buyers happy? I can change the standpipe to 2" easy enough, but should the trap be above the floor or can it be below, in the crawlspace? What kind of trap is currently required? I am in California. Thanks.
No announcement yet.

Re: washing machine standpipe and drain ?
let me just mention that if there is an easy way to correctly change to a 2" sp with the correct trap, I will do it to keep the new owners happy. I am certainly not required to provide code upgrades to sell the house.
Re: washing machine standpipe and drain ?
The trap must be below the VENT! where is the vent or vented line?
sounds like the easy way is to keep the trap in the crawl, and make sure every thing is done in 2"
no 1-1/5"!!Last edited by jhplumbing; 10-23-2009, 08:05 PM.
Re: washing machine standpipe and drain ?
From the California Plumbing Code (UPC)
All plumbing fixtures or other receptors
receiving the discharge of indirect waste pipes shall be
approved for the use proposed and shall be of such
shape and capacity as to prevent splashing or flooding
and shall be located where they are readily accessible
for inspection and cleaning. No standpipe receptor for
any clothes washer shall extend more than thirty (30)
inches (762 mm), nor less than eighteen (18) inches
(457 mm) above its trap. No trap for any clothes
washer standpipe receptor shall be installed below the
floor, but shall be roughed in not less than six (6)
inches (152 mm) and not more than eighteen (18)
inches (457 mm) above the floor. No indirect waste
receptor shall be installed in any toilet room, closet,
cupboard, or storeroom, nor in any other portion of a
building not in general use by the occupants thereof;
except standpipes for clothes washers may be
installed in toilet and bathroom areas when the
clothes washer is installed in the same room.
The trap must be above the floor, the vent must be above the sanitary fitting.

Re: washing machine standpipe and drain ?
I'm replacing my old style washing machine drain hose (now hanging over the utility sink) with a Standpipe drain system. I understand that the building codes require me to use a 2" pipe and 2" solvent P-trap. The only problem is that my drain line is 1 1/2". So is it safe to go from 2" pipe to 2" P-trap to 1 1/2 drain line
Re: washing machine standpipe and drain ?
you can do what ever you want.
We will passed code.........NO
we it work.........maybe??
would i try it..........No
you need to get back to a 2" line and do it all 2". The washer dumps out alot of soapy suddy water FAST. You would be "choking" the line down by having 1-1/2". It very well could and probley will overflow.
Re: washing machine standpipe and drain ?
I remember when 1 1/2 pipe was code for a laundry stand pipe then it became 2 inch quite some time ago. now here they require 3 inch at the base. the trap has always had to be above the floor with a vent above.
Home inspections are a tricky thing most inspectors in are area go off what the plumbing code was at the time the home was built in which they would be OK but some inspectors will try to inspect to current codes in which most older homes will fail
Guess the choice is yours to make to the change or not but it could affect the sale of your house to the potential buyer.
Re: washing machine standpipe and drain ?
Can anyone say whether adding a 2" or 3" standpipe/trap to an existing 1-1/2" drain line would be any better than our present 1-1/2" standpipes/traps setups at handling the gush of water coming out of todays washing machines? Keeping in mind that using the lowest sudsing detergent available can help quite a bit in itself. Thanks.

I too am having a transmission issue with my 2012 Focus. I purchased my car in May 2012 and as of today it's been in the shop twice. The first time I was told that it was in the breaking in stage and it will pass. Well now I have 11k miles and my car has been in the shop since last Thursday Oct 18th and was told today Oct 25th that we have a fault clutch as well as a defective valve in the transmission and they will have to keep it for at least another 5 days. I'm not happy about this but I will wait and see if the car is repaired correctly which I truly have my doubts. The funny part to all of this was the first day I took it there I was told we couldn't duplicate the hesitation or gear skipping that my car was clearly doing. As the service people are pulling my car in for me to take home my loving focus jumped forward and spazzed the hell out, with that being said I was told we will get you a rental car LOL. Long story short I don't feel safe in my car and u shouldn't either!! My car is at a shop in Maryland and was told from the service writer this is a isolated problem and they have not seen this before but logging on here made me see that it is not isolated nor is it just a couple of 2012 Focus issues it's a lot bigger then Ford knows or wants to admit to. Please keep on your service provider to make your car safe for u and your passengers.

Separate names with a comma.
Universal Fit item created by , May 5, 2010
Pros - Quick easy good value
Cons - poor quality won't last long.
I had these and they lasted a month. Turned them into Skullcandy for store credit and bought myself a second pair of Titan's.
Anyway Riots offer better audio quality, style, durability than Ink'd. I originally bought these using Skullcandy's warranty plan after buying a pair of Ink'd before. So I only paid $3 for shipping. These also offer a aluminium housing as opposed to only plastic. I have found that both the Ink'd and Riot have problems at the jack where after caring use they still lost one side of audio after a month. Though the Riot lasted about 1 and half while the Ink'd lasted 3 weeks.
Moral of the story, Riot is a great value you can keep sending them in on Skullcandy's tab, but take the leap of faith and get Titan.

The 2012 Ford Edge, equipped with the 2.0-liter four-cylinder EcoBoost engine, officially returns some fairly impressive fuel economy numbers. Now that the Environmental Protection Agency has concluded its formal testing, we can see that earlier reports were spot on and the Edge 2.0 EcoBoost indeed carries an official EPA rating of 21 miles per gallon in the city and 30 mpg out on the open highway. The EcoBoost engine bumps up the Edge's fuel economy by three miles per gallon on the highway compared to the 3.5-liter V6-equipped 2011 Edge.
Ford says the turbocharged 2.0-liter will churn out 240 horsepower and 275 pound-feet of torque when tucked into the Edge. That's 45 horsepower fewer than the 3.5-liter V6. However, the EcoBoost engine does manage to crank out an extra 22 pound-feet of torque. In addition, Ford says the 2012 Edge with EcoBoost introduces category-exclusive active grille shutters, which close as vehicle speed increases to improve aerodynamics and fuel efficiency. Just one little way to get a crossover to that 30-mpg mark.
The popular Ford Edge crossover with EcoBoost® power is EPA-rated at an economical 30 mpg highway and 21 mpg city
Ford Edge with EcoBoost is now the 13th Ford model/powertrain combination to deliver an EPA fuel economy rating of 30 mpg or more
EcoBoost, combining smaller engines and turbocharging, is a global Ford engine technology that gives customers the power they want and the fuel efficiency they need
EcoBoost vehicles have been successful at attracting new customers to the Blue Oval brand, leading the Ford product portfolio in conquest sales
Dearborn, Mich., Aug. 2, 2011 – The Ford Edge crossover, the latest vehicle to receive the company's EcoBoost® 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, is now certified by the EPA to deliver 30 mpg highway. This complements the best-in-class Edge V6 fuel economy to give utility customers expanded fuel efficient choices.
"Fuel efficiency is important to our customers," said Amy Marentic, group marketing manager, Large Cars and Crossovers. "Adding the EcoBoost engine to the new Ford Edge crossover makes for 13 vehicles delivering 30 mpg or more in the Ford showroom."
The Ford Edge delivers 30 mpg on the highway, besting all SUVs its size or larger, in addition to cars such as the Honda Civic Si and the Saab 9-3 automatic. The only competitive utilities offering higher highway fuel economy than Edge with EcoBoost are a few smaller-size vehicles such as the Ford Escape Hybrid.
Combining gasoline direct injection and turbocharging with smaller overall displacement, this advanced new EcoBoost engine delivers the power of a normally aspirated V6, yet delivers four-cylinder fuel efficiency.
EcoBoost has been successful at attracting new, more upscale customers to the Ford showroom. Taurus SHO and Flex with EcoBoost lead the Ford lineup for car and utility conquesting. More than half of all Taurus SHO buyers are new to the Ford brand, and more than 62 percent of Flex with EcoBoost buyers had not previously considered a Ford product.
With popular F-150 pickup trucks now offering an EcoBoost option, sales of Ford vehicles with this advanced technology have crested 70,000 units and the F-150 EcoBoost now accounts for 41 percent of total F-150 sales, making it the top-selling full-sized V6 pickup truck on the market.
EcoBoost is a global Ford engine to provide affordable fuel efficiency for millions of drivers, while delivering the power they desire. By the end of 2011, Ford will have built nearly 180,000 EcoBoost-powered vehicles in North America. EcoBoost will be offered in 90 percent of Ford vehicles by 2013. Ford holds more than 125 patents on its EcoBoost engine technology.
13 at 30 or more
Adding a fuel-efficient EcoBoost engine to the popular Edge crossover means the Ford showroom now offers customers a choice among 13 model/powertrain variations that deliver an EPA fuel economy rating of 30 mpg or more.
These Ford offerings are listed here with their respective city/highway EPA-rated fuel economy estimates:
Edge with EcoBoost: 21 mpg/30 mpg
Escape Hybrid FWD: 34 mpg/31 mpg
Escape Hybrid AWD: 30 mpg/27 mpg
Fiesta five-speed manual: 29 mpg/37 mpg
Fiesta automatic: 29 mpg/38 mpg
Fiesta SFE automatic: 29 mpg/40 mpg
Focus five-speed manual: 26 mpg/36 mpg
Focus automatic: 28 mpg/38 mpg
Focus SFE automatic: 28 mpg/40 mpg
Fusion 2.5-liter automatic: 23 mpg/33 mpg
Fusion Hybrid: 41 mpg/36 mpg
Mustang 3.7-liter Coupe automatic: 19 mpg/31 mpg
Mustang 3.7-liter Convertible automatic: 19 mpg/30 mpg
Edge fuel-saving technologies
Building on Edge V6 best-in-class highway fuel economy, the EcoBoost powertrain makes Edge an even more economical proposition.
This advanced EcoBoost four-cylinder engine provides the optimum balance between fuel efficiency and responsive power, delivering 240 horsepower at 5,500 rpm and a generous 270 lb.-ft. of torque at 3,000 rpm. Edge with EcoBoost delivers comparable fuel economy to Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain, yet offers utility shoppers a responsive choice as Edge provides a 58 horsepower advantage over these compact General Motors offerings.
The Edge with EcoBoost combination of superior fuel efficiency and ample responsiveness is enabled by direct gasoline injection and twin independent variable camshaft timing (Ti-VCT).
Efficiency is further enhanced through employment of low-friction 5W-GF5 motor oil, a variable-displacement air conditioning compressor and a unique 6F35 six-speed automatic transmission optimized for fuel efficiency through employment of active transmission warm-up to help reduce internal friction as the powertrain approaches normal operating temperature.
Edge with EcoBoost also introduces category-exclusive active grille shutters. These variable grille slats close as vehicle speed increases to improve aerodynamics and fuel efficiency.
Production location
The 2012 Edge with EcoBoost is produced at the Oakville Assembly Complex in Ontario, Canada.

Table-Rappers: The Victorians and the Occult (original 1972; edition 2004)
by Ronald Pearsall
Work details
Table-Rappers: The Victorians and the Occult by Ronald Pearsall (1972)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Not his best book by far, but good enough to hold your attention, Ronald Pearsall tells about the spiritualists and the theosophists without going into too much detail.
References to this work on external resources.
Wikipedia in English (7)
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0750936843, Paperback)
The Victorian age was the most haunted of all. At dark seances spectators goggled at spirit hands descending form above, and fondled 'spirits' who had coyly emerged from cabinets. The age of reason had done away with the supernatural. But the Victorians wanted it back and they made certain they got it. Astrology and fortune-telling enjoyed a boom, and in country districts the witches and the cunning men plied their arts, selling and casting spells, and applying the evil eye. The Table-Rappers deals with all aspects of the Victorian occult - the credulity of believers certain that a thing of gauze and muslin was their dead aunt, the venom of the professional mediums who sabotaged each others' seances, and the still unexplained phenomena - levitations, the fire test where mediums handled red-hot coals, and strange materialisations where both spirits and mediums were in the room at the same time. Behind all the heavy breathing in darkened rooms, the implausible spirit photographs, the interminable dotty table-rapping and inconsequential scribbling on slates, lay a whole world of absurd tricksters, well-meaning dolts, credulous gulls and some unforgettable characters.
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:02:50 -0400)
"The Victorian era was one of the most haunted in history. The attempts of science to explain away spiritualism and suppress the supernatural were in vain. The Victorians wanted their seances, ghosts, astrology and witchcraft, and there was a whole host of mediums, tricksters and clairvoyants ready to deliver." "Using a wealth of material, Ronald Pearsall uncovers dark corners in the spiritualist movement, examines the locales of hauntings, unveils the common 'tricks of the trade' and, perhaps most surprisingly, reveals the dabbling of Dickens, Elizabeth Barrett Browning and even Queen Victoria."--BOOK JACKET.… (more)

Well I just had another bad range session with the Para Ordnance 18-9 LDA ltd this weekend, and a stunning session with my beloved G19.
Ive decided based on reading reviews and having shot a G34 once that the Para has to go and the G34 needs to take its place (even if its a straight trade with the dealer)
Para list price new $2500 NZD
Glock34 $1400NZD
Im not currently shooting any production class IPSC but would like the option and want something I know I can shoot well. The G19 doesnt cut it at 50 feet so I figure the G34 is better suited for the long distance portions of the service match (a better all rounder).
Have I lost my mind ? is it possible the 1911 is just not for me ? Do I need to practice more with the Para ?

The average university vice-chancellor now earns more than Gordon Brown, it emerged today, after their pay and benefits grew by 10.6% last year.
On average, vice-chancellors were paid £207,318 in 2008/09, an analysis by accountants Grant Thornton on behalf of Times Higher Education magazine found. Together with benefits, but excluding pensions, this came to £219,156.
This is more than four times the salary of the average academic – £46,607 – and £10,000 more than Gordon Brown's £197,00 salary.
In total, the 152 universities who handed over their accounts, spent £33.3m in salaries and benefits on their vice-chancellors.
A dozen universities paid their leaders £300,000 or more in 2008-09, compared to five the year before.
Universities' governing bodies decide how much to spend on their vice-chancellors.
The highest amount paid was to City University's former head Professor Malcolm Gillies at £651,000. However, £393,000 of this was for a "compromise agreement" when he resigned after a dispute with the board over governance. The former vice-chancellor of the University of East London, Professor Martin Everett, was paid £537,000, but this included £250,000 after he resigned after a board investigation into his leadership.
The head of London Business School, Professor Sir Andrew Likierman, is paid the most at £427,000.
The survey comes days after the trade union, the University and College Union, found out that academics could expect a pay freeze next year with rises below the rate of inflation.
UCEA, the university employers' organisation, said the pay increase was 8.9%, "broadly in line with the more than 8% received by the majority of higher education staff for that same period".
Its spokesperson said: "Nearly two years have passed since these 2008/09 increases and it is no surprise that the 2009/10 remuneration figures for staff and early information on heads of institutions reflect extremely tight budgets and financial constraints."
Earlier this month, a Guardian inquiry revealed that the income of thousands of the most senior British academics had soared in the past decade, far outstripping growth in average lecturers' pay.

So far, all what I can see is that the cabling to the trailer harness connector on the car's side looks intact.
I mean, that even when no trailor is connected, the left position lights are still off (like a fuse or a wire has been blown when that (rented) trailor which had a short circuit on the left light circuit has destroyed a circuit on the car's side.
Regarding the fuses: I only know about the fuses in the engine compartment. I have checked them; they are all ok.
Question: Is there an additional fuse compartment somewhere else in the car which I should check?
Regarding the harness: I have checked it around the plug on the car side: Seems all ok.
as I stated in the initial error description, the left tail light, the small position light on the left fender as well as the left position light built-in into the headlight do not work. So there are not the complete tail lights off, only all left tail lights.
But for example all (left and right) tail stop lights do work properly as do the turn lights and the reverse lights.

Dating App Uses Members' Voices To Find Their Love Connections
Revealr lets users introduce themselves with a 20-second voice recording and a pixelated profile pic.
Revealr is a new dating app that's looking to differentiate itself from the countless other dating apps in the market by using members' voices to help them find their love matches.
Developed by London-based team Paul Laight and Guy Harrington, the iOS app requires users to log in using their Facebook account and lets them introduce themselves with a 20-second audio recording. Users' profile photos are pixelated and only the audio clip, a first name, age and location are shown to other users.
Users can browse through members profiles and listen to the voice introductions. If users like what they hear, they can click or swipe "Yes" to indicate interest. If two people "like" each other, they get revealed to each other and can start up a chat conversations.
Revealr is available for free on the Apple app store.

Celtic's u-20 side can emulate their first-team colleagues by clinching the SPL title against Inverness Caley Thistle today.
Aberdeen's 1-0 win over Dundee United yesterday means that those two sides can reach 56 points with a Celtic win this afternoon at the Tulloch Stadium taking the young hoops onto 57 points.
Following their break at the Al Ain tournament in Abu Dhabi Celtic beat Dundee convincingly 3-0 on Friday night with John Kennedy hoping that a win today can kick-off a trophy rush.
"It was great for everyone to see the first team clinch the title on Sunday," he explained. "It's a great achievement and the next week could be very special for the club.
"We can win the league at Inverness, the u-17's have the Glasgow Cup Final on Monday and we have the SFA Youth Cup Final at Hampden next Wednesday.
"It's a massive period for everyone. The first team have given us the lead and the academy sides are looking to do their bit over the next week.
"We can't just turn up at Inverness and pick up three points to win the league, we have to earn the right for the points and play as we can with the right attitude.
"Sometimes getting over the finishing line is the hardest thing to do. It's there for us, the ball is in our court but it'll be tough at Inverness.
"We want to do it as quickly as we can, they are feeling confident after the win over Dundee and everyone is looking forward to trying to clinch the title.
Today's match kick's off at 2pm.

SLIDESHOW: Sentinels of the Sound sculpture dedicated in Alki Beach ceremony
Sept. 8 declared Harbor Seal Day by city and state
With a crowd of more than 200 people on hand, the sculpture Sentinels of the Sound was dedicated on a day declared by proclamations from the city and state to be "Harbor Seal Day," Sept. 8.

Each of the speakers talked about the significance of protecting our environment and the importance of caring for marine life.
There were kids activities, a raffle, and environmental exhibits at the event too.
The winners of a children's art and story contest were on display and announced.

Bill Would Allow Concealed Guns In NC Parks, Eateries | NBC17.com
Anyone have any other info on this?
Bill Would Allow Concealed Guns In NC Parks, Eateries | NBC17.com
Anyone have any other info on this?
I hope this is true and possible. When I eat at a restaurant, I don't always drink. If I choose to have wine or beer, I lock the gun in the car. But I want the option of eating at my favorite sushi bar (drinking only green tea) without having to disarm. It's silly I have to fool around with my piece just to go have a plate of fish.
The city park restriction is another travesty. I live near a park that's controlled by the town, and they (legally) prohibit guns. It's the ONLY place within a ten mile radius where people have been assaulted. It's the one place you really should be armed. There are no roads in the park - only walking trails. It's not like the cops can come screeching up in a cruiser when you need them (as if that was possible).
This really needs to happen here.
My wife and I do not live in NC, but are frequent visitor as tourists. The effective "no restaurant" rule is, to say the least, very inconvenient. Further, neither of us even drink in restaurants. However, we are precluded from even going to a Red Lobster type of restaurant. As a result, we do not visit the majority of very good restaurants, especially in Charlotte. i hope the law changes. It would make our tourist experience much better, and allow us to patronize a lot more of the fine restaurants in your state.

The former Queen's Park Rangers, Swindon and Wycombe Wanderers 24-year-old has fallen out of favour with new Well manager Mark McGhee.
"It's a good opportunity for me," Murphy told his club website.
"Dunfermline have a lot of good players and I know Stephen Kenny from my time in Ireland. I need to play games as it's not good to be in the stand."
Murphy joined Motherwell from Cork City in January 2007 but has only made two appearances since McGhee took over in the summer.
"I want to go there, get back match sharpness and prove myself good enough to get back into the Motherwell first-team," he added.
What are these?
