Used wrong nails for joist hanger
I used 1 1/2 in joist hanger nails in the joist of a double shear hanger. I questioned this and was assured by Lowes expert and other bystander contracter that 1 1/2 was the proper nail to use.
I now know that those nails are useless and I really needed a 3 in nail into the joists.
I have 44 hangers put up and already nailed. I am only hanging sheetrock for a ceiling off of these 2x4 joists. Any Thoughts??
1 1/2 " joist nails will be fine unless the joists are holding up more than a 2 x 4 will carry.
Did you fill all the holes?
If you purchased a standard double shear joist hanger such as a Simpson or a USP, the specified nail is a 10d galvanized common (for outdoor use). These nails are typically sold by the 1 lb or 5 lb container, and are right next to the joist hangers in the aisle. The 10d nail is typically 1-1/2 inches long, and is specifically sized for the hole provided in the hanger. For example, a Simpson LU26 takes 6 10d face nails, and 4 10dx1.5 inch joist nails.
I have put up dozens of these hangers, and have never used a 3 inch nail, I don't know who exactly makes a 3 inch nail specifically designed for the hanger, but I have not seen a Simpson or USP 3" nail for that purpose. I wonder where you learned that a 3 inch nail was required?
Are they double joist hangers? Do you need the shear hangers to hold everything together or on the plans?
1 Attachment(s)
Use the 1½" joist nails to face nail the hangers,
and the 3" Galv. 10D commons to double shear/toenail (45°) through the side slots.
Turns out this is a lot more complicated than I ever dreamed. The Simpson catalog in fact specifies 10d nails that are 3 inches long, and allows 10d nails that are 1-1/2 inches long for certain hangers, but as near as I can tell only for the header nails, not for the joist nails. For many of the hangers, the correct nail is the 10d 3 inch long nail, or for some of the heavy duty hangers 16d nails are specified.
Here is where things get odd. Simpson has a load reduction table that specifies the reduction (typically to about 70%) if you substitute 10d 1-1/2 inch nails for 10d 3 inch nails. However, there does not appear to be a reduction table for using the shorter nails into the joist. As near as I can tell, Simpson does not want you to use the shorter nail into the joist, so they don't provide a table showing required load reduction if you do use it. I guess this means that Simpson is not going to tell you what reduction to take if you inadvertently use the shorter nails into the joist.
The strange thing is that at Home Depot, Lowes etc. the short nails are sold as "joist hanger nails", and you have to search the hardware aisle for three inch hot dip galvanized nails that meet the spec of Simpson and will withstand PT lumber. This probably explains why the majority of decks are nailed together with short nails, which by the way are easily identified by the 10 stamped on the head of the nail. I can't recall ever going into a Big Box store and finding 10d three inch nails next to the hangers, so this probably explains why hardly anyone uses the proper nail to put up a hanger.
All that said, the load capacity of a nail in pure shear has little to do with the length of the nail, and everything to do with the diameter and strength of steel. However, the Simpson catalog lists load capacity for floor loads (nearly pure shear on the nails), but also for uplift and seismic. Under seismic loading, nails may be subjected to pull out forces, and the deck could be subjected to torsional forces, neither of which are pure shear, hence the length of the nail could be very significant for that specific type of load. A similar argument could be made for wind load, as the deck could be subjected to twisting loads, and individual nails could be subjected to pullout forces. You might also make the case that short nails are more likely to get loose over time as the wood shrinks and checks.
Obviously the proper thing is to use the specified nail, however you already used the wrong size. The hanger capacity could be downrated to the Simpson value of approximately 70 percent for the header nails, which is probably well above the required capacity anyway. The issue with the joist nails is more complicated, since Simpson does not publish a reduction factor for the short joist nail.
I suppose you could pull all the joist nails and use longer ones, and compute the capacity at 70 percent or so. This is probably adequate, but can be checked. Pulling the nails is likely to be a PITA, but since the joist nails go through a tab, it might be doable.
Alternatively, you could leave the shorter nails in the joist, and take your chances, if the inspector lets you do so. If you don't live in seismic country, and you manage to avoid hurricanes and tornadoes, my guess is you will be just fine. However, I am not your local inspector, so my guess carries no weight.
D, footnote #4 in post 7.
Thanks for this information, GBR.
I stand corrected.
Thanks for all the replies. I pulled all the nails out of the joists and replaced them with 3 in nails. The joist nails pulled out with just a pair of vicegrips and some muscle. I might have over reacted but I have piece of mind now.
Thanks again
What about hanging them with screws
Screws should not be used for joist hangers. They do not have the needed shear strength.
Use the required 1½" joist nails (#10 stamped on head) to face nail the hangers and 3" 10D Galv. commons to double shear/toenail through the side slots.
The box the stepson hangars
The box of the stepson hanger said you could use #9 2 1/2" structural screws. Witch are 13.00 for 100 ea but it comes with a free bit (Wow). Is this just a manufacture wanting to make more money? Will these screws affect a structural inspection. I'm just adding full size blocking every 4' and a 2x4 blocking at 24".
I was referring to plain screws, which are not. This has been asked before.
Most joists that DIYers hang will use nails.
I did however, (when I put in my joists) have need of two hangers that required structural screws. The rest were nailed.

new bathroom in basement
I have a partially finished basement in a 50year old house, I am putting in a bathroom. The walls are poured concrete with sill plate and wood framing on top. The walls appear to be waterproofed and painted. I do not have issues with water leakage or anything. One side of the new bathroom will be 2x4 framing along the concrete wall. Should I insulate this space along the concrete wall? Should I use a vapor barrier? I have worked in houses with finished basements with vapor barrier behind drywall, and they were moldy, very moldy. Any suggestions?
also, about the floor
I also plan on putting down ceramic or porcelain tile on the concrete floor, do I need to seal the concrete first?
Some Help
I'm currently remodeling my basement and here is what I have learned:
I would put polystryene foam board on the walls, it acts as a vapor barrier and insulate as well. The thickness of the foam board determines the insulating value (R value). I live in southern illinois and am using 3/4" on my foundation walls (biggest I had access to that still had a t&groove for better interlocking) Use a house wrap tape (Tyvek tape) on the seams where the foam board meets. Now you could put fiberglass batting in b/w the studs for even better comfort and with no worry about mold issues.
It would not hurt to seal it. I had to lay down some self leveling concrete. So I'd say make sure your floor is level before you seal it, otherwise you'll seal it 2x.
Spray foam for the walls is the best way. But if too costly -- you need at least 2" rigid foam to act as a capillary break to prevent condensation from warm basement air hitting a cold basement wall. All seams to be taped and all gaps to be filled with spray foam. Then a 1/2" minimum air space between the stud wall and the foam board. fill this with kraft faced insulation batts. The sole plate must be pressure treated and use sill insulation as a capillary break under it to prevent moisture wicking into the wall cavity. No poly vapor barrier. In the summer the air moves into the room. In the winter it will move out. Any trapped moisture can dissapate in the air space provided.
I agree with the others on foam, this from Building Science: This means limiting extruded polystyrene insulation to less than 1-inch thickness for walls (more than 1 inch thick and they do not breathe sufficiently) and making sure that the rigid insulation is not faced with polypropylene skins or foil facings. From: http://www.buildingscience.com/docum...gs?full_view=1
And the craft paper facing if in a cold climate: The greater the permeance the greater the inward drying and therefore the lower the risk of excessive moisture accumulation. However, in cold climates or buildings with high interior relative humidity during cold weather, the upper portion of a basement wall may become cold enough that a vapour permeable insulation will allow a damaging amount of outward diffusion during cold weather. A semi-permeable vapour retarder or foam or a supplemental layer exterior insulation can be used in these situations. Up to two inches of unfaced extruded polystyrene (R-10), four inches of unfaced expanded polystyrene (R-15), three inches of closed cell medium density spray polyurethane foam (R-18) and ten inches of open cell low density spray foam (R-35) meet these permeability requirements. From: http://www.buildingscience.com/docum...ts?full_view=1
I wouldn't use an air space that may give a convective loop, lessening the value of the batts and spreading the moisture around rather than heading directly inside if you had an air leak anywhere. You get an R-1 with 1-4" of air space. http://oikos.com/library/insulating_...lls/index.html You need fire-blocking every 10 lineal feet as well as the whole top of the stud walls.
Be safe, Gary

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - Five different players found the back of the net to lead the No. 21 UAB men's soccer team past instate foe Montevallo, 5-2, in men's soccer action Thursday night at West Campus Field.
Junior Moses Adeniran and freshman Ian Svantesson each contributed with a pair of assists, while junior Chase Wickham added a goal and an assist, as the Blazers remain unbeaten in exhibition play (1-0-1).
"We aren't where we want to be just yet and tonight I thought our performance was just so-so, but I do think we are heading in the right direction," UAB head coach Mike Getman said. "I thought we had a pretty good performance against Louisville (this past) Saturday. We are a little bit of a tired team and not as sharp as I would like us to be. We scored a lot of goals tonight, had a lot of the possession and took a step toward getting better."
Sophomore forward Diego Navarrete opened the UAB scoring at the 24:31 mark when he headed in shot from six yards out to give his team a one-goal lead. The tally was set up from a free kick taken by Adeniran, who sent a long ball to the head of Wickham. Wickham was able to get his head on the ball and pop it up to Navarrete, who then finished it into the side netting.
Just under three minutes later, at the 27:14 mark, UAB's Mladen Lemez drilled a free kick from 25 yards out to give the Blazers a 2-0 lead. It was Lemez's second goal in two exhibition games, both of which have come from direct kicks.
The Blazers tacked on another goal at the 57:33 mark when \Wickham etched his name in the scoring column. The goal was set up by Svantesson, who sent Wickham down the sideline on a long run. Wickham took the ball towards goal and looked as if he had nowhere to go, but slipped a shot over the keeper's head from a near impossible angle and into the far side-netting for a 4-0 UAB lead.
The Falcons would finally get on the board just over two minutes later, at the 59:55 mark, when midfielder Giuliano Frano stole a pass and beat UAB goalkeeper Hunter Weber to cut the UAB lead to 4-1.
Frano would score another goal; however, the Blazers ended any hope of a Falcon comeback when sophomore Ian Michalak scored on a point-blank shot off a corner kick in the 77th minute to result in the final score.
UAB controlled play throughout and ended the game with a 15-8 edge in shots, including a 10-5 shots-on-goal advantage.
The Blazers will return to the pitch on Saturday when they host head coach Dave Giffard and the VCU Rams at 7 p.m. at West Campus Field. Giffard, who is entering his second season at VCU, was an assistant coach under Getman for five seasons (2000-04).

Equity, Health, and Environment Tools
The positive consequences of walking as either a healthy mode of transportation or as recreational activity span across many aspects of our lives. They can be expressed in terms of either environmental or individual health. A transportation system conducive to walking can provide benefits of reduced traffic congestion and improved quality of life. Economic rewards both to the individual and to society are also realized through reduced health care costs and reduced dependency on auto ownership (and the resulting insurance and maintenance costs). There are also other economic benefits of bicycling and walking that are more difficult to measure, such as the increased economic vitality of communities that have emphasized bicycle and pedestrian mobility. Finally, walkable communities create a more equitable society that provides transportation choices for all citizens.
The health benefits of regular physical activity are far-reaching: reduced risk of coronary heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and other chronic diseases; lower health care costs; and improved quality of life for people of all ages.
Perhaps the most important factor in walking and social justice is choice. When providing pedestrian facilities, communities allow people to choose how they want to travel. For those who do not have the option to drive—such as adolescents, those unable to afford a car, and people with certain disabilities—lack of choice in transportation creates a barrier to mobility. If automobile travel is the only feasible mode of transportation in a community, low-income families are placed at a large disadvantage. The high cost of car ownership means that low-income families will have to spend a greater portion their income on owning and operating a car or choose not have one. By providing safe and convenient pedestrian facilities, the community can ensure all citizens have access to a viable mode of transportation.
Although individual cars are much cleaner today than they were in previous decades, if total traffic continues to grow, overall air quality will deteriorate. Moreover, every day cars and trucks burn millions of barrels of oil, a non-renewable energy source. Walking is more beneficial for the environment. (See also: www.walkinginfo.org)

: Uneven Curls/Waves - Haircut Ideas
Hi curlies!
I'm really frustrated with my hair right now and as usual, I turn to you guys for help. I am currently BSL with face framing layers and I want to grow more, not as much as waist but to the midback area. But I hate how it looks!
My upmost layer is 3a, the middle is 2c/2b and the bottom is 1c. This straight layer always hangs down limply while the 3a's on top spring up. I am thinking of a long-layered cut, because I can non-heat style it better with braids, buns and what-not but I'm afraid that when I wear it naturally the bottom layer will stick out even more. As it is, the overnight styling methods do not work at all and I do not have time in the mornings to wash my hair. I love one length hair for braids but I like wearing it down more.
I will head to my stylist for henna on thursday and I need to make up my mind by then.
Please share your thoughts / ideas / experiences, I'm desperate

Just Right for mounting my XM to a mounting plate. It's kinda funny how the absence of the simplest of things can make the difference between a clean, solid install and having useless sticky tape everywhere.

You can't go wrong when you buy from ProFit. All the hardware you could need comes with their stuff. It fits, it works. What else could you ask for. Prices are average, but you get way more than you pay for, and I don't mind paying for quality.Buy once from ProFit. Other cheap junk you buy over and over.

Friday morning, Kershaw County Chairman Julian Burns and County Administrator Vic Carpenter served as the keynote speakers for a Kershaw County Chamber of Commerce breakfast. While Burns focused mostly on VisionKershaw 2030 -- something this paper will examine more closely in the near future -- Carpenter provided a statistical, yet sometimes humorous report on what's been happening in Kershaw County during the last nine to 12 months.
In our most recent three editions, including today's, we have highlighted Kershaw County's newest ambulances and some of the people who work in them, Explorers at Lugoff Fire-Rescue (LF-R), two Buffalo-Mt. Pisgah firefighters who recently earned certifications and one of the LF-R's long-term volunteers.
For the fifth consecutive year, the Kershaw County Sheriff's Office (KCSO) earned the Agency of the Year Award from the S.C. Department of Public Safety for DUI enforcement among law enforcement agencies of between 51 and 100 employees.
It's unfortunate the city of Camden and Kershaw County had to announce they could no longer accept glass for recycling in residents' bins or at the county's recycling centers. It is not their fault, however. Word came down from Sonoco in Hartsville the company could no longer afford to recycle glass.
As we reported Friday, the stage is now set for most of this year's local political races. We know Bobby Gary will finish out Willie Mickle's unexpired term in the Kershaw County Council District 1 seat he held immediately before Mickle. We also know Gary will face his special election opponent Al Bozard in November's general election.
The Kershaw County School District (KCSD) and the greater community lost a great friend in M. Andrew "Andy" James when he passed away March 23. He will be remembered as a tough, but fair and inspiring educator, having served as a teacher, assistant principal, principal and counselor.
There's a cartoon making its way across the internet showing a family staring out their living room window -- mother, father and pre-teen son. The boy's face is lit up, knowing, perhaps, he might not have to go to school that day. Has it snowed? No, it's "pollened," he declares, as his parents look on in horror at the mounds of yellow stuff in their yard and on their car. They look as if they haven't slept in ages.
We cautiously welcome the prospect of a Still Hopes Episcopal Retirement Community being developed at Beechwood on Knights Hill Road. We welcome the news because we have been a proponent of using the property for this type of purpose for some time. We welcome it cautiously, however, because it is just a possibility. Nothing is set in stone, and Camden residents have been waiting for nearly a decade to see what would become of Beechwood.
Tonight, Camden City Council considers second and final reading of two ordinances which, if approved, would considerably change the skyline along DeKalb Street just east of Broad Street.
Recently, the S.C. Senate voted to spend $400 million on roads. Sounds great, right? We all know South Carolina's roads need work. A lot of work. We all have driven on roads which have at the very least embarrassed us as local residents, if not caused damage to our vehicles due to their sorry state of disrepair.
A grand jury's decision to no-bill (not indict) Jimmy Joe Methe came as a bit of a surprise to a great many people in Kershaw County. It certainly stirred a great deal of controversy. Our breaking news alert posted to Facebook on Thursday reached more than 15,000 people, sharing it nearly 120 times and engaging in a fierce debate in the post's comments section. It is easily the most engaged item we have ever posted.
As recounted on today's front page, Kershaw County Council held a special meeting ahead of its regular meeting Tuesday to honor former Chairman Steve S. Kelly Jr. for his more than 32 years of service as a councilman and chairman. Council did the same Jan. 12 for former Chairman Austin Sheheen Jr. for his 23 years on council.
Last week's headlines regarding the arrest of four young men for a string of automobile break-ins in Camden, east Camden and Lugoff offer what we feel are valuable lessons.
In his monthly column, over on the top of the facing page (A3), Tony Scully is announcing he will not run for a second term as Camden's mayor. Simply stated, we are extremely sorry to learn of his decision, but we are not totally surprised, either. We are not surprised because, in typically Tony Scully fashion, his decision not to run again is an example of his humility.
It's good to hear the S.C. Equine Park's (SCEP) revenue is up 20 percent during the last year, according to information SCEP Vice Chairman John Cushman provided Camden City Council during its meeting Feb. 23.

Missed offensive opportunities and the inability to stop Temple on third down spelled Kent State's doom on Saturday, losing 28-10 and erasing any real hopes at a MAC East title.
"They outplayed us today, really in every phase," a visiably frustrated Head Coach Doug Martin said after the game. "It was hard to match up both in size and strength. We didn't take advantage of opportunities we had early and forced some turnovers we didn't capitalize on--that's a set back, but we have three games left."
Temple's run-based offense had success both on the ground and through the air, amassing 465 total yards to Kent's 223. The Owls were successful on seven of nine third down conversions before the game entered garbage time and held possession for 38:54.
"Those [third down conversions] were back-breakers," Martin said. "[Temple] made plays, and that's what the game comes down to this time of year. [Quarterback Mike Gerardi] made some key throws and they had a nice game plan to offset our pass rush."
On the offensive end, Martin saw two first quarter drives stall at Temple's 15 yard line that brought in a total of just one field goal. Kicker Freddy Cortez both hit and missed from 32 yards out.
The lone offensive scoring drive was the result of wide receiver Sam Kirkland blocking Jeff Wathne's punt, putting Spencer Keith (17-30, 169 yards) and the Kent offense in immediate scoring range at the Temple 27 yard line. Temple forced a field goal after a questionable run-play was called on third and nine.
Kirkland struggled mightily the rest of the game, failing to haul in a would-be touchdown on Kent's next drive and later fumbling a kickoff in what may have been the turning point of the day.
Early in the second quarter with Kent still holding on to a 3-0 lead, Head Coach Al Golden orchestrated a 14 play, 80 yard drive capped by a nine yard scramble from quarterback Mike Gerardi (368 yards on 21-29 passing with two touchdowns and two interceptions).
After Kirkland's fumble, Gerardi found Rod Streater in the back of the end zone, and in two minutes a three point lead was turned into an 11 point deficit which stood until halftime--barely.
Behind running back Bernard Pierce (99 yards on 28 carries and a touchdown) the Owls drove deep into Kent territory as the second half clock ran low before Cobrani Mixon intercepted a pass on the goal line after it was tipped by Monte Simmons at the line of scrimmage. It was almost as if Kent couldn't breathe after the Owls' first touchdown, but this allowed the entire team to take a deep breath.
Taking advantage of a swing in momentum, Norman Wolfe Jr. then picked off Gerardi on the second play of the second half with Kent still trailing 14-3. With an opportunity to slice Temple's lead to four, Running back Andre Flowers lost the ball as he crossed midfield.
A few plays later, Gerardi found receiver Michael Campbell wide open for a 63 yard touchdown pass, extending the lead to 21-3 and deflating the KSU sideline.
Kent's last real opportunity came later in the quarter when Monte Simmons sacked Gerardi and forced a fumble which was recovered by Howard Bowens, who had come in for an injured Cobrani Mixon, at the 47 yard line of Temple.
Spencer Keith was sacked twice and the offense couldn't get out of neutral.
Kent State's lone touchdown came after Howard Bowens blocked a punt and Sam Kirkland fell on it in the end zone in the fourth quarter.
Spencer Keith left the game late in the fourth quarter with what Doug Martin is calling a thumb injury on his throwing hand.
Cobrani Mixon aggravated his existing shoulder injury and couldn't play the second half, Martin said.
Martin never allowed the running game to get going--starter Andre Flowers, in what was touted as a highly anticipated debut after Archer was benched for fumbling and Terry was limited due to a bum shoulder, only carried the ball six times for 26 yards. Jacquise Terry rushed for 21 yards on five carries and caught two passes for 49 yards.
One player that deserves to be highlighted is linebacker Howard Bowens. Bowens has been lighting players up for weeks on special teams and got a chance to play after Mixon came out at halftime. Bowens jumped into a pile like a torpedo to rip away a loose ball in the third quarter and finished with four tackles.

How do I get my dog to stop eating the couch?
I have a 16 month old Husky and up until a few weeks ago he has never attempted to eat anything other than his toys and then it started. One day last week and now once this week we came home to a ripped apart couch cushion. He gets walked every morning and night and goes to the puppy park at least 2 days a week. We give him peanut butter filled Kong, chew toys,rawhide bones and a toy that he has to spin and roll around to get treats, these all worked until now. He also has access to patio and can go in and out all day. I'm lost for ideas on how to fix this. He has never been crate trained we have one that he can go in but I like my dog to sleep with me so that was something I never did. Willing to try anything, crate training now would be difficult as we work 5 days a week and are gone a min of 8hrs and that's too long to just suddenly leave him in there.

How about baby gating off access to the living room, or whatever room the couch is in? You can probably manage this behavior to extinction this way.

You could crate train him for the times when you're not home and still let him sleep with you. It sounds like he's bored, and when huskies get bored...look out. I know you walk him, but I'd walk him farther and longer and throw in some wrestling and playing when you're at home with him. Doggy day care might be helpful, too, since he'd have supervision and he'd get to make friends!
Libby answered on 5/25/11. Helpful? / 0
he's bored.
Maybe a crate with dog walkers 3x a day.
Then when you are home start an exercise program. He is old enough to start working up to a pretty good hiking, walking, and biking program.
Invest in a harness and a bike extension for bike jogging. Huskies and malmutes have to get exercise on a daily basis and the doggie door is just not it.
I had a malmute and he got alot of exerise.
Then stick with your rubber kong. I use only a kong and exercise.
You can find many things like swimming, frisbee, ball, and even hiking fun with your dog. You can also strap on a harness for hiking that has pockets and start letting him carry various items like water, a bag of food, wallet, keys, every thing adds up and the weight can make him strong and give him exercise to carry it :) A big dog like that will need 2 hrs of exercise per day it can be done in increments throughout the day or in 1hr or 1/2 hr increments.

It sounds like he's bored or that he has developed separation anxiety. My favorite dog trainer is Cesar Millan. Here's his website -
Cesar has great training techniques. He may have a training technique and training tips for this.
How about getting him a toy that's soft to chew on? How about some strong but soft stuffed animals. One's that won't tear up easily. Play with him every day, play with him for a while before you go to work. He may not be getting enough attention.
How about a couch cover? One that completely covers your couch so that he can't chew the couch.
Doggy day care would be a good idea. They provide a lot of fun for your dog. Definitely put up baby gates too so that he can't access the room where the couch is.
Be sure to work with him because if you don't you never know what he could tear up next.

If you attorney can get you a reckelss driving, your license should not get revoked although you will have the Summary Suspension to deal with As for the BAIID, you can get one without the SOS knowing if it is part of a plea agreeement. You must contact the BAIID companys to have it privately installed and send their complaince reports to the court instead of the SOS.See question
How long would it take for a court date or bond? The person was fighting a drug case for more than 100 grams but less than 400 grams of cocaine. The person has not been found guilty, if so how long they facing?
There are two possible reasons. One, that the case is now being charges in Federal court by the U.S. Attorneys office. In larger drug cases that deal with cross-state border allegations the federal prosecutor can have jurisdiction to prosecute and the penalties in Federal court are more severe that state court. . The other reason, is that there is an INS hold and he was taken to the INS holding facility for deportation proceedings. The info yo provided is too vague to know which one it is. I highly recommend getting an experienced attorney ASAP.See question

I recommend contacting a traffic attorney. It is not clear from your question what the tickets are for, but if they are minor moving violatioss, the supervison can get revoked on your first ticket due to the second one. Three convcitions in a one year period can lead to a suspension if you are over 21 years old. If under 21 years old it is two convictions in a 2 year period. Also, the law aonly allows two Court Supervisions in a one year period. Play it safe and call an attorney.See question

Assuming that those are the tickets causing the suspension, once the SOS receives notification from the Court Clerk that the conviciton has been vacated your the suspension should be removed. I suggest that you call the court clerk and confirm that they sent the court order to the SOS. Do not drive until the SOS has cleared the suspension.See question

I am not sure what your question is, but it is likely from your description of events that the police officer may not have followed the required procedure for a breathalyzer test.

the Israelis are very good at infiltration. + you have to figure that there are Iranians who are not to thrilled with the idea of starting a nuclear war. they are not all nuts.
They will get a nuke and do exactly what North Korea does huff and puff until they are paid off
QuoteThey will get a nuke and do exactly what North Korea does huff and puff until they are paid offnope, the motivations are completely different. N Korea is motivated by communist paranoia. Iran is motivated by religious zealotry. huge difference in what they want and what they might do.
They kill because the religion tells them they must eliminate the 'infidels" and to be a good religious person they must do so.
Well here is the way I look at it. I see why you feel the way you do on the subject but the conclusion I've came to on it is that we are being manipulated. We were manipulated into believing that weapons of mass distruction were in Iraq. Just one of many examples in recent history that makes me question all the hype about Iran. When you look at how much we have been lied to makes you question everything. Lord knows they sure as heck aren't serving our best interests in D.C. Don't be surprised though if all this is propaganda and we all end up ticked off in the end for being dooped. I do still see it playing out much like North Korea all about the $$$. Besides if Iran does decide to use nukes they will end up being glassed and nobody will be alive to tell us why they made the move.

Folks in the south Bitterroot Valley have been hearing the jake brakes of logging trucks barreling through their neighborhoods for most of last winter, as salvage and regular timber harvest took place at the Sula State Forest.
This fall, it will be the homeowners along Bowman Road northwest of Hamilton who will awaken to the sound of air brakes and the sight of black logs. The Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation is preparing a salvage timber sale for about 400 acres of state forest along Blodgett Creek that burned in one single day of heat, wind and low humidity.
That the Blodgett salvage sale is currently being prepared doesn't come as too much shock. The revelation is that there is any state land at all in an area largely made up of national forest.
The state owns almost a full section of land running roughly from the center of Blodgett Creek, about a quarter-mile down the road from the trailhead, and across the face of the mountain to less than half the distance to Mill Creek canyon on the north.
Lewing says his office is currently preparing an environmental analysis for the pending sale. It should be finished by July 1 and ready for bidding by September.
The state proposes to harvest about a million board feet of timber from the 400 acres that burned. Most of the logging—Lewing estimates roughly 800,000 board feet—will be done by helicopter. The remainder will be logged by ground-based tractor and skidder operations.
Aside from the state's proposal, the Bitterroot National Forest (BNF) is working with the people of Pinesdale on a different project to reduce fuels in the same general area. Recently, Pinesdale, which was evacuated due to the fires last August, approached the BNF about cutting some trees between the town and the national forest boundary, not only to protect their homes, but their Sheafman Creek watershed as well, says BNF wildlife biologist Raymond Smith.
"They saw a humdinger of a fireball coming around the mountain, and it came within spitting distance of the town," says Smith. "Put a little bit of a scare in them."
The proposal calls for thinning trees on 80 acres, leaving 50 trees per acre. Prescribed fire is proposed in the more open ponderosa pine stands.
The 307,000 acres of national forest that burned last summer has increased the workload at the BNF enormously; Flathead National Forest wrote the Pinesdale environmental analysis, because, says Smith, BNF staffers were simply "overbooked."

Work at hand : an exploration of gesture in the context of work and everyday life to inform the design of gestural input devices
Brereton, Margot, Bidwell, Nicola, Donovan, Jared, Campbell, Brett, & Buur, Jacob (2003) Work at hand : an exploration of gesture in the context of work and everyday life to inform the design of gestural input devices. In Biddle, Robert & Thomas, Bruce (Eds.) Australian User Interface Conference, Conferences in Research and Practice in Information Technology, 4 - 7 February 2003, Adelaide, South Australia.
Accepted Version
Administrators only | Request a copy from author
This research explores gestures used in the context of activities in the workplace and in everyday life in order to understand requirements and devise concepts for the design of gestural information applicances. A collaborative method of video interaction analysis devised to suit design explorations, the Video Card Game, was used to capture and analyse how gesture is used in the context of six different domains: the dentist's office; PDA and mobile phone use; the experimental biologist's laboratory; a city ferry service; a video cassette player repair shop; and a factory flowmeter assembly station. Findings are presented in the form of gestural themes, derived from the tradition of qualitative analysis but bearing some similarity to Alexandrian patterns. Implications for the design of gestural devices are discussed.

Death penalty sought in Montana teacher's murder
BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) – Prosecutors on Friday filed murder charges and said they intend to seek the death penalty against two men accused of kidnapping a Montana teacher whose body was discovered after two months of searching.
Lester Van Waters Jr., 48, and Michael Keith Spell, 22, are accused of grabbing Sherry Arnold off a street in Sidney, Mont., on Jan. 7 while she was on a pre-dawn run.
Waters and Spell—two men from Parachute, Colo., who had arrived looking for work in oil fields—were arrested about a week after Arnold's disappearance and originally charged with aggravated kidnapping.
An amended complaint filed by Richland County prosecutor Mike Weber on Friday charges each with one count of deliberate homicide and one count of attempted kidnapping. The aggravated kidnapping charge was dropped.
An affidavit filed in the case includes an alleged jailhouse confession by Spell that he choked Arnold and then held her face underwater to make sure she was dead.
Spell told another inmate he and Waters were high on drugs at the time and suggested the kidnapping came about because "Waters wanted to have sex," prosecutors allege.
Previous court documents included a claim by Spell that Waters had choked the victim in the back of his car. The new documents say Arnold was killed almost immediately after she encountering Spell during her run.
Lester Van Waters Jr. is accused in the killing of Sherry Arnold.
"Spell said Sherry Arnold was jogging on a path and he was walking approaching her," the affidavit says. "Spell said Sherry said 'Hi' as they passed each other. Spell said he turned around and speared Sherry in the back of the head and knocked her down. Spell said he choked her out."
Arnold's body was not found until late March. Court documents filed Friday indicate it was Waters who led them to her shallow grave after Spell's attempts to find the location were unsuccessful.
Her body was found along Highway 1804 east of Williston, N.D., along a shelter belt, a line of trees used by farmers as a shield from the wind.
"Waters pointed to the approximate location of the actual hole where Arnold was buried," the affidavit says. "A broken branch was resting over the hole. Waters advised Sherry Arnold was buried lying on her side in a fetal position. … Waters became emotional, cried and stated, 'I didn't kill that lady.'"
Michael Keith Spell is one of two men who could face the death penalty for the death of Sherry Arnold.
Weber, the Richland prosecutor, declined comment beyond what was in the court documents.
Attempts by The Associated Press to reach the public defense attorneys representing Spell and Waters were not immediately successful.
Arnold was a popular veteran math teacher at Sidney High School, where her husband, Gary, also worked and her two children attended school. She grew up on a ranch outside Sidney, a city of 5,000 near the confluence of the Yellowstone and Missouri rivers that's been drastically changed by a recent oil boom.
Arnold's kidnapping has raised concerns among Sidney residents about the changes overtaking their community with the influx of thousands of oil field workers. Concealed weapons permit applications have been soaring, authorities say, and residents of the close-knit town say they are now more suspicious of strangers.
Still, community leaders—and Arnold's parents—have insisted the oil industry itself is not to blame for the killing.
Spell's father, Harry, has told The Associated Press that his son had travelled with Waters to the booming Bakken oil fields of Montana and North Dakota after Waters guaranteed work paying up to $2,000 a week working. Harry Spell said his son was anxious to prove himself to his parents and girlfriend Angel Cruz, with whom he has a 1-year-old son.
Michael Spell had found past work in the oil fields near Parachute and on a fire damage cleanup crew, but was unable to keep the jobs "because he didn't quite understand what to do," Harry Spell said. Harry Spell has said his son has an education less than a kindergartner.
Spell said in a February court appearance that he was illiterate and that his court-appointed attorneys had to read him the documents in which he was charged with kidnapping.
Waters is originally from Florida, where he has a lengthy criminal background and served time in state prison. Spell's relatives say the younger man fell under Waters' influence after the older man helped Spell and some of his associates get work as roofers.

I currently have a Springfield XD(m) 9mm.
I am thinking about also purchasing an XD tactical 9mm model Springfield.
It seems to me that I remember reading somewhere that there is a difference in the disassembly of the XD as opposed to the XD(m) model pistols.
Was it something to do with having to pull the trigger on the XD models during the disassembly process - which is no longer required on the XDm models ?

- Build an Industry-Leading Fixed Income Operating Model – Firms should assess their current or planned capabilities to identify processing gaps that introduce greater risk to the firm.Core technology and operations must be able to support the specific requirements of processing a range of fixed income instruments and financing transactions across the globe while handling volume spikes;
- Assess your Global Fixed Income Expertise – Clearing and settlement in multiple countries involves a vast network of depositories and custodians, requiring extensive knowledge of local market practices. Regulatory expertise is critical not only to ensure local compliance to but help mitigate operational and financial risk;
- Evaluate your Operational Risk Management – Due to regulatory changes, increased volumes, increasingly complex products across multiple markets, and the need to operate more efficiently, risk management has become a focal point for the industry. Actionable risk management is dependent on accurate, timely, and relevant data;
- Measure the Costs of Efficient Operations – Amid an environment characterized by declining margins in the brokerage industry, the ability to support firm operations and manage risk while facing constant cost reduction pressures is the industry norm. Firms must carefully balance the cost of supporting their fixed income business with the requirements for expansion, operational excellence, regulatory compliance, and sound risk management practices.
LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y., June 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Financial market volatility has sent investors scurrying for protection, liquidity and more stable returns similar to those found in the fixed income markets. This demand, facilitated by electronic trading platforms, has increased risks for brokerage firms, notes a new report from Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (NYSE:BR) entitled, " Market Volatility & Trade Fails Drive A New Fixed Income Standard. " Over the last ten years the amount of global debt outstanding has more than tripled, reaching an all-time high of $100 trillion USD. The combination of demand and expanded offerings by brokerage firms has led to a substantial increase in average daily trading volume. But increasing volumes has also led to a rise in settlement failures and costs associated with the fixed income trading systems. In response, some broker-dealers are beginning to design data management strategies to not only reduce the cost of data but, more importantly, to support a high level of straight-through-processing across the trade lifecycle in order to mitigate risk, reduce settlement failures and provide a seamless client experience. Others are beginning to look toward a new fixed income operating model. "The continued demand for fixed income products and the volatility of the markets is forcing broker-dealers to find innovative ways to structure their operations to keep up with the growing investor appetite while also mitigating operational risk," said J. Michael Hopkins, President, Securities Processing Solutions Fixed Income, Broadridge. "By looking at a new operating model, broker-dealers can more efficiently grow and manage risks while driving costs out of their operations." The new fixed income standard can be achieved in the steps outlined below:

Co-leader Mike Iaconelli claimed he was aided by the warm, increasingly long, black beard he's sporting now. Bassmaster emcee Dave Mercer asked Iaconelli on-stage Friday, if he won the Classic, would he keep the beard and go for the full Paul Elias look of years ago? Think Phil Robertson and "Duck Dynasty," if you don't remember the Elias beard of old.
Iaconelli said he would do that, if his wife, Becky, could be convinced to allow it. So all eyes went to Becky's seat in the BOK Arena.
Her verdict? Two thumbs down.
Iaconelli will be shaving next week -- win, lose or draw.

Rep. Duncan Hunter Introduced Bill After Mount Soledad Ruling
SAN DIEGO — A bill by San Diego's Republican congressional delegation aimed at protecting religious symbols on war memorials was passed by the House of Representatives Tuesday.
The War Memorial Protection Act, introduced by Reps. Brian Bilbray, Duncan D. Hunter and Darrell Issa, stemmed from a recent ruling by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals that declared the cross atop the Mount Soledad Veterans Memorial unconstitutional.
"Last week's helicopter crash in Afghanistan, killing six Marines, is a somber reminder of the extraordinary danger facing our military men and women, even in the most routine missions," Hunter said. "These Marines, like all others who have served or made the ultimate sacrifice, are proudly represented by war memorials across the country and beyond our shores."

RapidRide begins in West Seattle on the weekend; The true test comes Monday
Information event at Westwood Village today 11am to 4pm
The RapidRide C Line began in West Seattle Sept. 29 with, as expected, light ridership. It replaces portions of routes 54 and 55 between Westwood Village and downtown Seattle via the Fauntleroy Ferry Terminal and Alaska Junction. It will operate via SW Barton St, Fauntleroy Way SW, California Ave SW, SW Avalon Way, SW Spokane St and the Alaskan Way Viaduct. Weekend service is every 15 minutes, weekday service is every 10 minutes.
Victor Obeso, who as Manager of Service Development handles all the route planning for Metro acknowledged on this first day of service that the ORCA cards and the bus stop next bus notification readers were not working. "We hope to have that corrected by Monday," he said.
But the true test of the new service comes Monday morning as commuters crowd on and capacity and the lack of an actual bus schedule are challenged. This is part of a major service revision for the transportation agency which include the start of the RapidRide C and D lines, five new routes, two re-numbered routes, 17 discontinued routes and changes to over 50 other routes. The Ride Free Area in downtown Seattle also ends on Sept 29 with passengers now required to pay on entry for all trips in King County.
If you have questions about the new service Metro will hold a Q and Q at Westwood Village, near the Barnes & Noble store at 11am-4pm today.
Line C provides connections with bus routes that serve Alki, the Admiral District, Genesee Hill, High Point, South Seattle CC, White Center, Burien and SeaTac International Airport.
Northbound trips to downtown Seattle will leave from a new bus stop eastbound on SW Barton St just west of 26th Ave SW by Westwood Village. Southbound trips to Westwood Village operate southbound on 3rd Ave serving the bus stops at Cedar, Bell, Virginia, Pike and Seneca streets, and the bus stop westbound on Columbia St just east of 2nd Ave.
New buses on the service are energy efficient, low-emission hybrid vehicles with low floors and three doors for easier, faster boarding. Other features include front-mounted, 3-position bike racks, accessible ramps at the front door, security cameras, air-conditioning, free Wi-Fi, automated 'Next Stop' display and audio announcements and more destination signs.
In preparation for the new service new stations and stops have been constructed with shelters with improved weather protection, interior lighting for safety and visibility, accessible boarding platforms, benches, trash receptacles, bicycle racks (at many locations and by request), and a stop request light you can trigger at night to signal the bus driver you're there. Stations include "real-time" bus arrival signs, lighted maps, and ORCA card readers.
RapidRide has a fare payment system that features ORCA card readers at many stations. At these stations, riders can tap their cards to the ORCA card readers before boarding buses and enter through the back two doors. If a bus stop doesn't have a card reader or if you're paying with cash or tickets, you must enter through the front doors. Riders with a valid paper transfer or non-ORCA pass can enter through the back doors at all stops.

What is the effect of Oak leaves on nitrite/nitrate levels
Hello everybody,
I was reading somewhere that as leaves decompose in water they lower the level of nitrates in the water. I can't find the article now, nor can I find anything else backing the claim. Does anybody here have any idea what I am talking about?
As I recall the article was regarding cherry shrimp and how they eat the bacteria that lives on the rotting oak leaf. The article siad that one shouldn't have a plant like hornwort in the tank with the leaves because the hornwort would outcompete the oak leaf bacteria for the nitrate.
I don't think they would lower nitrates - they would raise them as they decompose, probably.
If you have a cycled tank they shouldn't leech any ammonia fast enough to have much of an effect.
Bacteria and other things will grow on the leaf and break it down.. microorganisms and the like. All of which will be shrimp food.
I really wish I could find that article. The claim it made was that the leaf breaking down used the nitrates present in the tank , lowering them "just the same as decomposition in a compost". I don't know anything about composting either, I just recall that snippet.
I'm not at all certain on this, but I think leaves are generally considered low-nitrogen in terms of composting. I forget how the whole deciduous leaves things work, but isn't most of the nitrogen in leaves involved in chlorophyll? -Is the process of leaves changing colour the chlorophyll (and other phytopigments) the plant reabsorbing the nutrients, or is it just breaking down/wearing out?.
Anyways, I could possibly see that some microbes would set up camp on the leaves, using the carbon in cellulose, lignin, and what not, but be somewhat nitrogen starved.
I'd also be interested in reading a summary of that paper/the article itself if you happen across it again.
I found the source that I read before and I am a trifle embarassed now. It certainly wasn't a paper. Not even an article. A quote by someone from a different uncertified source. I'll post the link to the thread here and I'll see if I can trace it further but it is starting to seem like a bunch of hooey.
Thanks for posting that.
Yeah, I'm thinking either the person reposting is slightly confused, or maybe the original posting is a bit off.
I've heard of people putting in alder cones and (I think?) almond leaves. I think the claim was that these specific leaves/cones had anti-fungal properties, and were good for breeding tanks, as it would lessen the risk of fungus damaging eggs.
*shrugs* That's about the only thing that comes to mind as to "conditioning water" with leaves- and maybe a bit of a blackwater effect.
people use those leaves to breed fish lower ph and to create blackwater or use the leaves for shrimp tanks as the shrimp eats it as they decompose. very beneficial. the amazon rivers are loaded with leafs on the bottom creating a leafy substrate. i often put a a load of indian almond leaves in my altum tank to create that amazon biotope. just gets nasty when they start breaking down. but the first couple of weeks i like the look of it.
