I'm installing a new bathroom in my basement and wanted to know if you need to run "riser's" to the toilet supply and the shower stall faucet fixture to control any pipe hammering. I will be running 1/2in copper as the supply lines.
Also, do I need to install shut off valves for a shower faucet in the same way as you typically would for a toilet or sink supply? ( If so, I assume they are behind the drywall).

The Blair Stone Road Sewer Project is nearing its completion. Crews still need to complete installation of two portions of sewer line that stretch from the median across the northbound lanes. These pipes will provide future service for properties on the eastern side of the roadway.
To facilitate this work, Blair Stone Road will be completely shut down on Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 12-13. The closure will impact both northbound and southbound traffic from Orange Avenue to New Village Avenue, near the entrance to the Southwood Village shopping center. During the closure, access to the Southwood Village shopping center and other area businesses will remain open.
Southbound traffic on Blair Stone Road will continue being detoured at Orange Avenue. Motorists on Paul Russell Road will be detoured at Jim Lee Road to Orange Avenue. Northbound traffic on Blair Stone Road will be detoured at Capital Circle to Orange Avenue. Variable message boards are in place this week to alert motorists of the weekend closure.
Pending no unforeseen circumstances, the entire road will be reopened for both northbound and southbound traffic by Sunday night.
Following this weekend's work, there could be temporary lanes closures while crews complete permanent striping and other remaining items. The entire project is expected to be completed by early November.
The purpose of this project is to provide sewer service to properties along Orange Avenue and Blair Stone Road and improve the City's ability to manage the sewer system during service interruptions along Capital Circle.
During the project, new sewer pipes were installed along Orange Avenue from Jim Lee Road to Blair Stone Road and along Blair Stone Road from Orange Avenue to New Village Avenue. Sidewalk and curb repairs were completed at the intersection of Blair Stone Road and Capital Circle, and the southbound lanes of Blair Stone Road from Orange Avenue to Paul Russell Road have been resurfaced. This week, crews will be resurfacing the remainder of the southbound lanes within the project zone from Paul Russell Road to Capital Circle.

From the known Complete Holy Forms we have:
- As Nodt - Tartar Foras - Fear of God - though he could simply use Iruel which is (supposedly) the same but shorter ,
- Opie - Biskiel - Justice of God - there are those that pertain to the punishment (Daniel) for example or to righteousness (Zadkiel),
- Gun-Quincy - Grimaniel - Walk of God.
Now up to guessing/predicting:
- Bazz-B - Uriel - Fire of God - pretty easy to guess ;p,
- NaNaNa -Arael - Vision of God, or Adiel Witness of God - his equipment as well as what he was saying about observing,
- Shaz - Cassiel Speed of God,
- Berenice - Salatheel I have asked God, or Eliana My God Answers - she was asking questions as part of her power,
- Candice - Barakiel Lightning of God, or Ramiel Thunder of God - because of her seemingly lightning/thunder motive,
- Bambietta - Ananiel Rain of God - well she was raining bombs ,
- Jerome - Gaghiel Roaring Beast of God - he was turning into a beast and roaring,
- Cang Du - Castiel Shield of God - he supposedly had supreme defense ,
- Mask - Azael Whom God Strengthens, or Ezekiel God will Strengthen - well he was power upping half of the time ,
- Royd and Loyd - Mishael Who is what God is? (a question) - their power revolved around impersonating others,
- Eye Quincy - Tzaphkiel Beholder of God - they called him Bach's eye or something,
- Haschwalth (this one is hard) - Peniel Face of God - something about him donning the mask of ruler when Bach sleeps,
- Uryu (this one as well) - Yisrael - Struggles with God or Prince of God - because of the prince of light motive as well as Uryu's struggle against Bach,
- Askin - Bethel House of God - because of his "territory" and door/dimension power.
As one can notice, many of the Quincy's power can be clearly described by those names, like the Roaring Beast, or the Question and probably more (like Thunder and Heat, Iron etc.), though their Holy Forms might have different names ;p.
Also there is also the, Suriel Moon of God, perhaps reserved for Ichigo .
Of course, everyone is free to discuss or post their own ideas/predictions regarding the names of their forms or what names are associated with their powers and comments , or not . Well it seemed interesting enough anyway so I posted it.

Sure, the public is weighing in on USA TODAY's AdMeter, but how does one auto marketing expert see the winning ads of the Super Bowl?
Former Hyundai and General Motors marketing chief Joel Ewanick says the best ad was Chrysler Group's two-minute tribute to farmers for the Ram pickup. The commercial is narrated by the late radio news legend Paul Harvey.
Actually, he makes it a double win for Chrysler. The second-best ad, he says, was its other two-minute spot, the Jeep ad entirely devoted to honoring the sacrifices of America's military.
Then comes the Budweiser Clydesdales, Tide's "stain" ad and Volkswagen's controversial "Be Happy." In the rear is Audi and Samsung.
If Ewanick's choices seem to skew to patriotic themes, don't be surprised. He was the creator of one of the more patriotic and heartstring-pulling campaigns in recent years, "Chevy Runs Deep."

The Federal Aviation Administration announced a rule Tuesday to require more training for commercial pilots to avoid and recover from stalls that can lead to crashes.
The rule grew out of the Colgan Air 3407 crash in February 2009, which killed 50 people. The pilots in that crash continued to pull up too much on the nose of the plane while preparing to land in a snowstorm near Buffalo, which allowed the plane to plummet to the ground.
The rule is projected to cost airlines $274 million to $354 million to implement from 2019 to 2028, according to the FAA. But airlines will also save $689 million by preventing or mitigating crashes that result from the rare problem, according to the agency.
Although the rule took nearly five years to develop, FAA Administrator Michael Huerta said it was the biggest update in pilot training in 20 years. This is the third major FAA rule to grow out of the Colgan crash — after requiring pilots get more rest between shifts and boosting minimum training for co-pilots — and Huerta said this training overhaul was complicated and required a lot of work.
"It's been a very large effort at the FAA for a very long time," Huerta said. "It's a huge advance for aviation safety."
Huerta said the pivotal rule would give the country the most advanced training. The rule requires within five years:
• Better ground and flight training that enables pilots to prevent and recover from stalls.
• Training for pilots to better monitor the performance of each other.
• Enhanced runway safety procedures.
• Expanded crosswind training.
Huerta said he also planned to meet Nov. 21 with airline safety leaders to develop voluntary training for pilots beyond what the rule requires.
"Today's rule is a significant advancement for aviation safety and U.S. pilot training," Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx said.
Mary Ellen Mellett, whose 34-year-old son Coleman, of East Brunswick, N.J., a jazz musician who died in the crash, said the rule met expectations of families who appreciated the agency's work.
"This is a bright and shining day for us," Mellett said through tears. "The airline industry will be better for it."
Capt. Lee Moak, president of the Air Line Pilots Association, a union representing 50,000 pilots, hailed the rule as "another step forward in making a safe industry even safer."
"The training mandated by these rules has very accurately addressed factors that have been identified in a number of accidents," Moak said.
The industry group Airlines for America, which represents the largest airlines, said the safety of passengers and crews is their No. 1 priority, and that the group "will work collaboratively with the FAA to implement the rule and ensure we continue to have the best trained pilots, who help maintain the safest aviation system in the world."
Roger Cohen, president of the Regional Airline Association, said the rule underscores how the airline industry operates under a single level of safety.
"This is a good example where rulemaking has moved to catch up to the continually improving safety practices in place today at many airlines," Cohen said.
The need for better stall training has long been known. Earl Weener, a member of the National Transportation Safety Board, which investigates accidents such as Colgan, told 300 aviation safety officials at a conference Oct. 29 that better training is needed.
Weener cited four fatal crashes in the last two decades where pilots continued to pull up on their controls too much until the aircraft crashed, rather than leveling off to regain power and speed. Those crashes were Colgan, Air France 447 in June 2009, Pinnacle Airlines 3701 in October 2004 and USAir 427 in September 1994. In the Air France and Pinnacle crashes, the planes plummeted several minutes from tens of thousands of feet in the middle of flights, rather than near the landing.
A NASA study of voluntary reporting by pilots found 28% of stalls occur while cruising at high altitude, Weener said.
But a survey found only 26% of airlines trained for high-altitude stalls – even though 71% of stalls occur when the autopilot is typically engaged, Weener said.

Recoil springs fit over your handgun's guide rod and control how the slide functions. In general, heavy loads need heavy springs and lighter loads need lighter springs. A spring that is too light can cause the handgun to open and close early and hard, increasing the felt recoil and battering the frame. A spring that is too heavy can cause the slide to be hard to open and could even keep the gun from cycling completely, jamming it. Installation requires disassembly and reassembly of the slide.
Technical Information
Glock 19 and 23
Current production factory Glock springs are 17 pounds. Early, non-captive versions of the Glock 19 have recoil
springs of 19 pounds.
Recoil springs fit over a pistol's guide rod and control how the pistol's slide functions.
In general, heavy loads need heavy springs and lighter loads need lighter springs. There is no hard and fast rule as to how
much "Spring" a pistol needs. Too light a spring and the pistol opens and closes early and hard, increasing the felt
reoil and battering the frame. Too heavy a spring and the slide is hard to open and may not cycle completely, jamming the
Shooters who are using +P ammunition or self defense ammunition will likely need heavier recoil springs.
Shooters who are using target ammunition may be able to use lighter recoil springs.
Installation requires disassembly and reassembly of the pistol's slide.
Every recoil spring package contains a free extra power firing pin spring.
A non-captive guide rod spring is highly suggested. It keeps you from having to disassemble the factory Glock captive
guide rod. Glock 17, 22, and 24 Guide Rod #741-473. Glock 20 and 21 Guide Rod #119-208. Glock 19 and 23 Guide Rod

text: Oscillate series blue #1is a strong expression of Martin Smith's practice within an organised and disciplined use of materials and geometric forms, in particular the use of oblique perspective, the circle, the drum and the ubiquity of brick clay as a construction material. These structural devices stem from his interest in their use as elements in Renaissance architecture. Continuing Smith's dedicated use of a restricted range of materials, this work consists of a cast, ground and polished unglazed terracotta vessel with its inner face platinum-leafed, and is mounted on a cut and polished blue glass disc. Its form engages the viewer with the rigour of industrial production, while its lustrous materiality reconnects us with the refined and measured world of the craftsman.

By Tim Wildmon
When I was growing up we had a couple of dogs. One was mostly beagle with a little dachshund mixed in. We named him King Tut due to the fact that comedian Steve Martin had a song out by the same name at the time.
The other dog was a stray we took in we named Rosco – a Heinz 57, as they say. After a few days we discovered that Rosco was, in fact, a female. So we renamed her Roscette. Being an older dog, she mostly just hung around the house. But King Tut was young and energetic. After the family went to bed is when he would hit the town. He would come dragging up to the house about the time we were leaving for school looking exhausted. We suspected he had a lot of lady friends who also liked to party.
After I left home for college and then got married to my lovely and talented wife Alison, I forgot about dogs. Then we had three children so we never wanted a dog. With three kids who needed another creature to care for? Besides, you get emotionally attached to a dog then it gets hit by a car and dies, everybody cries for a month and then you have to talk to your kids about whether dogs go to heaven or not. Who needs that added stress to life, is the way we looked at it.
Then about 12 years ago we decided to give the idea of a family dog a try. We bought a Yorkshire Terrier from a lady in Louisville. Named him Max. Max was a cute dog. But Max yapped a lot, which is very annoying. Max also refused to control his bowels while inside the house. He had no conscience about this activity at all. Sometimes he would look us right in the face and do his business. Honestly. This didn't work for us so after a month at our house we found a new home for Max in Prentiss County where he still lives today. It was best for all involved.
Fast forward nine years later and with two of our three kids off at college, our youngest, Walker, 16 at the time, talked us into getting a silver lab from Iowa. When I was a kid we got dogs from the Johnson's down the street. Nowadays that is not good enough. It sounds better when you say you bought your dog on the Internet from another state and had in flown in. Which we did. Alison went and picked Russ up at the Memphis airport where she was joined by a farmer who was waiting in his overhauls for his pig which was flown in from Iowa as well, I suppose. That must have been one important pig.
Maybe this why the barbeque in Memphis is so fresh …
A couple of years came and went with Russ the lab. We all bonded with him, including me, which I said I was not going to do. But you can't help it. Dogs just have that effect on people. Then Walker took Russ off to Mississippi State, and it hit Alison hard. No children to nurture at home and now Walker had taken Russ away. Empty nest and empty dog pen. It was a bad combination for someone used to taking care of people for 20 years. So,, one day while we were in Destin over Thanksgiving week, I got back to the condo from an afternoon golfing to find out Alison had ordered herself a dog. A Maltese. Which she found on the Internet. In Fort Lauderdale.
Much more on this canine to come…

We recently wrote about the new Levi's Chambray x Opening Ceremony collaboration, and now you can nab yourself some at its new brick and mortar location, which quietly opened last month at Levi's Plaza in San Francisco (1155 Battery St.). The Levi's x Opening Ceremony chambray collection will be sold at this location, one of only four stores in the country to carry it. The official opening is said to be announced in March.

A person is a "small business" if its size does not exceed the size standard established by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) in 13 CFR 121 for the primary commercial activity of the person (company).
Since the 2000-2001 registration year, the amount of the annual registration fee has depended on whether the registering company meets the SBA size standard for a small business. The SBA assigns a size standard, which is expressed, with a few exceptions, either as the number of employees or as the gross annual receipts of the company, for each industry group. In registration years 2000-2001, 2001-2002, and 2002-2003, we used the SBA size standard assigned to the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code for each industry group identified in the SIC system. In a rulemaking published in the Federal Register on September 16, 2002, (67 FR 58343) we adopted the SBA's use of the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes as the basis for establishing size standards. You are to report the NAICS code that represents the major business activity of the registering company and use this code to determine whether your company qualifies as a small business. A representative list of the NAICS code and the current size standard for the most frequently reported hazardous materials industry groups is supplied here. If your industry group is not included in this list, the SBA's complete list of current size standards by NAICS code, is provided on the SBA's website.
The NAICS system was revised by the Office of Management and Budget in 2012 (referred to as NAICS 2012), which has been adopted by the SBA. If you do not know your NAICS code, visit the U. S. Bureau of the Census' complete table of the NAICS 2012 codes, with links to fuller 2012 NAICS definitions for each of the codes.
The Census NAICS 2012 table provides a search box. Enter a descriptive word or phrase. You may have to enter alternative words to find the appropriate code. The search box searches both the NAICS titles and the descriptions. You may also enter a NAICS code in the search box to see the definition of that code. Once you determine which NAICS code is appropriate to your major business activity, you will need to go the SBA's table of size standards to find the size standard appropriate for the NAICS code.
The NAICS system is revised every five years. Please note that some codes used in the 2007 version do not exist in the 2012 version. To find the 2012 equivalent of a 2007 code, type the 2007 code into the "2007 NAICS Search" box. The results page will show the corresponding codes in the 2002, 2007, and 2012 versions. Report the 2012 code on the Hazardous Materials Registration application.
The SBA's Size Standards Internet site provides other useful information on the SBA size standards. You may also call the size specialist in the appropriate SBA field office for assistance in determining your company's industry group and its size standard.
With a few exceptions, the size standard is either the number of employees or the gross annual receipts. The number of employees is defined by SBA as being the average number of employees (including all individuals employed on a full-time, part-time, temporary, or other basis) employed during the pay periods in the preceding twelve months. See 13 CFR 121.106 for the applicable SBA definition.
Gross annual receipts is defined by SBA at 13 CFR 121.104. "Receipts" generally means "total income" (or in the case of a sole proprietorship, "gross income") plus the "cost of goods sold" as these terms are defined or reported on Internal Revenue Service (IRS) federal tax returns. The term, however, excludes net capital gains or losses, taxes collected for and remitted to a taxing authority if included in gross or total income, and proceed from the transactions between a concern and its domestic or foreign affiliates (if also excluded from gross or total income on a consolidated return filed with the IRS). If your company has been in business for three or more years, the "annual receipts" is the receipts over its last three completed fiscal years divided by three. For companies in existence less than three years, the "annual receipts" is calculated by taking the receipts for the period the company has been in business divided by the number of weeks in business, multiplied by 52.
Whether annual receipts or number of employees is the size standard established for your industry group, you should consider the receipts or number of employees for the person required to register to determine whether your company (person) must pay the fee for a "Small Business" or "Not a Small Business." The person required to register may pay the fee appropriate for a small business even though it may be part of an "entity" (which includes affiliates) that the SBA does not consider a small business concern for its purposes.
The SBA periodically adjusts its size standards to reflect changes in industry characteristics and in 2010 began a comprehensive review of the standards. Almost all revisions to the size standards increase the number of employees or annual receipts that a company may have in order to qualify as a small business. The SBA recognizes only the current size standards for determining small business status.
