Check valve for tub drain?
Long story short - our sump pump (which doubles as a lift for the downstairs sink and washer) is 1/3 HP. When it is pushing water up and out the main drain line, it's putting out enough pressure that some of the water gets sidetracked and goes up the tub drain pipe, therefore putting some of the drainage water from downstairs into the tub, which is of course meant to go out the main pipe exiting the house.
I began to wonder, what if I put a check valve in? I picked one up tonight but now that I'm home I'm a little unsure if it'll work. The spring within the check valve seems quite light, but when I blow into the valve, it feels as though it takes a bit more pressure than I anticipated to successfully open the valve and flow through.
Attached is a picture of the area in question. There's copper, galvanized, and PVC all in one (not my doing... I'm just the 2nd owner of the home trying to make things work). The copper pipe which comes down on a 45 and into the galvanized fixture is the tub drain. The curved PVC which swoops in is from the sump pump.
I guess what I'm questioning is, do you think the water coming from the tub drain (copper pipe) would have enough pressure to open a check valve and successfully flow through? If so, this would be an awesomely simple way to ensure the sump pump isn't forcing water up into the tub when it runs. If not, I'm SOL and back to the drawing board.
Thanks everyone!

don't really know what to tell you there. any possible way to bypass this conglomeration and cut through your wood wall and take the sump pump line on down below these fittings so it will be below the tub drain.? if you can do this the further the better. also, don't know if a smaller h/p motor would still pump uphill what you need it to do but would probably slow the volume down.

What you see here is directly on the other side of that wood wall. I'd so much rather not touch this area... even though part of me thinks it would be optimal for the long run. I could rip out this galvanized and put a shorter galvanized piece in. Ultimately I would end up with piping that is shaped like a capital F, except it'd be slanted on a 45 degree angle. The bottom part of the F would be the sump pump, and the upper part would be the main exit for the bath tub and the kitchen sink (which is further up the line). Part of the reason I'm hesitant to touch this is I would basically have to redo that whole section of junctions. That would be a monumental headache... so if I can avoid that yet dig up a working solution I'd be all about it.
I guess the bottom line is, I'm not sure if the check valve being on a non-pressurized line would even work. I mean, how would the check valve benefit me if the shower is running? How is shower water trickling down going to be enough to open the valve?

i really never heard of a sewer check valve. you may have one but i presume this valve is for a water line with pressure applied to it. if you have to cut the galvanized you can use a no hub band to join the galvanized to pvc and not worry about putting galvanized pipe and fittings back. from the no hub band go back all pvc. not too hard. this is the rubber type with clamps on each end. from there back pvc is easy to work with. about all i can see is to get the pump drain as far from the other fittings as possible. on the copper to pvc you could use what is called a trap adapter to connect them. it is the same fitting under sinks that connects to the metal tailpiece from the sink. it probaly looks harder than it would actually be. if you did this clean out the drain as much as possible while you have it opened up. some of your problem may stem from a restriction built up in the lines. you might even cut the line open and clean it out, put it back together and see if that works before doing the above. you may even put a clean out plug at the back of the piping for the current problem and for future use.

i missed your picture before the other post. i would cut that sucker about 3 or 4 inches above the cast iron. if you see build up then that more than likely is your problem. clean out what is left good and go back with pvc all the way. put a clean out plug on the back end and that should fix your problem.

I'm a little unsure about what to do once I begin hitting the junctions, mostly because I have no idea how they managed to install a pair of Y's right next to each other since twisting the pipes on to install wouldn't be possible unless I'm of course redoing everything, up the walls, etc. I guess best bet is to cut above the cast iron as well as just before the first galvanized Y and put rubber connectors with hose clamps on both?
Seems easy enough, but that pipe is so close to the wall I have no idea how I'll cut it, besides maybe taking a grinder with a cutting wheel to it.
Thanks for the insight!
Edit - I suppose no amount of drano will help with the build up? :-P

No doubt someone assembled that before putting it into place. Seems like there ought to be a wye for the tub drain instead of that tee. But unless there's a lot of blockage it should not be backing up into the tub. First step might be to have the lines scoped out to see just how bad things are in there. Might be really bad farther along down the line. So any fix you did at this point wouldn't help enough. If that's the case and you have to replace sections farther along then you'd do well to seriously consider fixing the mess here at the same time. Otherwise the same problem just comes back later.

Spring checks are not used in drain lines, there's no clean out installed, (should be where the elbow on the right is) Tee needs to go.
Steel pipe at some point will always leak and close up on the inside.
Need to see what's on the other side of that wall where the pump is.
The drains should be just draining into a pit with no connection to the out going line on the pump so there's no way it can back up when the pump comes on.
Have you concidered reusing this water for eragation?

I think I'm going to go the route of cutting the galvanized pipe and putting a rubber coupler with hose clamps... Then just convert it to PVC from there on back. I'm also going to leave the two galvanized Y's in place and visually inspect them and make sure that they're still of usable quality. I certainly hope so because I would hate to have to rip out those two junctions....
EDIT - joe, there are two pictures above which contain what's behind the wall. If you take a look at the one picture with the main cast iron pipe with the galvanized coming off from it at a 45, you see more galvanized go to the right and disappear as it's the end of the picture. About 6 inches past the edge of the picture is the wall... the wall being what you see on the original picture in post 1.

You don't have two galvanized wyes, you have a wye and an incorrect tee. And from what you've posted it sounds like the problem is a possible lack of flow through the galvanized section, likely further along. The tee only adds to the problem. But since it's a straight shot through the other room then, honestly, why not just fix it right? Just pull out all the galvanized and replace it with PVC. The pipe and fittings are cheap. Then you can also replace the incorrect tee with a proper sanitary tee.
That would just leave the galvanized segment coming up out of the first wye. It's really a case of "while you're at it" here. Yes, it'd probably be simpler and cheaper to just cut that galvanized and put a coupler on it into the new PVC. But depending on the length and access then replacing all of it might be a lot better in the long run, for not necessarily a lot more money in parts.
I'm guessing if you cut that galvanized you're going to see a lot of blockage in it. That's what happens to that kind of pipe and that's among the many reasons it's not used much (if at all) these days. It rusts from the inside and this leads to clogging, which only escalates the rust.

I think I might do that anyway now. I'm at a stopping point tonight because it's Sunday night and I need a fitting I forgot to grab earlier. I'm beyond enraged with this galvanized. It just flat out sucks. The inside of the galvanized is pretty corroded and has some built up, most of which I can scrape off. The only thing I won't be changing is the galvanized piping that goes up the wall to the 3rd floor bathroom, since I don't exactly want to be ripping out 2nd floor walls to switch that pipe out. I suppose it's acceptable for all of the galvanized pipes to just use the rubber coupler when adapting over to PVC, eh? I think I'll pick up some more of the sweep wye's as well that have the sharper turn in them... they just seem to make more sense to me.
What a project. Yay for home ownership! But dang, this sure beats trusting someone else to do it.

Alright fellas. I tried to write down my little plan here so I could wrap my brain around what pieces I would need. I decided to share it here in case there's something I'm missing or going about wrong.
I originally drew this out with one line on top of another just so you guys could see it, since after all we're talking a 2d drawing here, however now that I look at it, I wonder if it makes sense to actually do it like this? I guess the only real benefit would be that the upper line, containing the 2nd floor bathroom drain + 1st floor tub drain + 1st floor kitchen sink drain would actually be higher up, so if there would ever be any sort of clog in the future, it would be substantially harder for the water to back up into the tub again. But hey, like you guys say, if it's done right it's not a worry.
Anyway, the entire thing would be done in PVC, with the exception of what's labeled. I'm going to leave behind the 6 inches of galvanized that you folks see at the main exit. Then gal, rubber coupler, and all PVC. I'm Y'ing it off because that way it gives the sump pump it's own dedicated line, and by the time it joins up it's already past all of the Y's for the bathrooms/kitchen drains. Everything will be 2" except further up both lines where they drop to 1.5", so I'll adapt them accordingly.
The first Y in the upper line is to the 2nd floor bathroom. The 2nd Y on the right is for the 1st floor tub.
By doing this, it basically converts everything over to PVC with the exception of a few inches at the main waste exit as well as the existing galvanized line from the 2nd floor bathroom.
Looks like I'll be somewhat busy tomorrow. Any opinions or comments on the drawing? Anything that I'm going about incorrectly? I appreciate all of your help so far. It's substantially reassuring when undertaking a project like this while the wife is asking why don't we hire a plumber.

Hiring a plumber may well be worth considering. They're better equipped to get the job done right. Whereas you have to run back/forth to the store hoping to find/remember the right parts. Never underestimate the power of a Home Depot being out of stock on the one particular part you really need...
There may be other issues to consider, like how everything is vented. Or whether the existing setup is totally brain-dead and just shouldn't have been done that way. As in, why bother upgrading something that's fundamentally wrong? The 2nd line for the sump and how it would fit into the main waste stack makes me really think consulting with a local plumber would be a good idea.

Yeah... yeah I'm not going to go the plumber route. It's just not in the cards right now. Keep in mind... what you saw earlier worked for a number of years... all I'm doing is rearranging what's where, why, how, etc. It's nothing monumentally different from before, while at the same time it kind of is. I don't see how venting will matter in this case since I'm basically removing old plumbing and introducing new plumbing in what I feel is a more logically laid out setup. Running to/from the store doesn't matter since they're one mile away. It's this whole Sunday night thing that killed me today. That said, I don't anticipate this job to last until next Sunday.
Is there anything that looks awfully wrong about what I drew up? Or does it seem okay on paper?

I am beyond happy that I took the advice to slice the galvanized pipe a few inches above the cast iron. That sucker was about 75% restricted with gunk. Not like rusty chewed galvanized... just gunk. I dug out what I could with a screwdriver and in those 5 inches of pipe I filled a glass Tostito's salsa jar. Disgusting.
It took me a decent chunk of time today, but I'm super glad I did it myself. I did the plumbing in a way I feel is very logical, clean, and routed properly. I'm no plumber, but I tried the best I could do organize things appropriately. It's a little difficult because in this particular area you have a lot of traffic. You have the tub and sink from the main floor but you also have the shower and sink from the 2nd floor. Couple that with the sump pump, kitchen sink, etc., and suddenly you have wye city.
There's the finished product. The main pipe is 2 inches with the 3 branches being 1.5 inch. I had aimed to have 2 branches, with everything in one branch, and the sump pump in another. Problem is I had a very very short area to fit two wye's, and it just didn't work... so I just made another channel and wye'd off that. The only thing I need to do is to put in some more decent supports. When I took this picture I only had one or two in, but now I have some makeshift wire ties in place... however I'll get some better supported hooks tomorrow.
On the right you can barely see a wye going up just on the other side of the funky S turn... that goes to the upstairs shower, which is connected to existing galvanized via a 2" rubber coupler. The combination sweep T at the top of the picture goes to the upstairs bathroom sink, which is just adapted over to the existing galvanized with a threaded PVC joint. With the middle pipe you have another combination sweep T which goes to the main floor bath tub off to the left. Originally I was going to do a 90 here since I had no reason for more connections but I ended up putting another combination sweep T so I could put a plug on the end there. That way if I ever have to run a snake for future clogs I can access it there. Then the long pipe on the left goes straight to the sump pump with nothing else attached.
I have to say, those combination sweep T's... they're absolutely awesome. If you folks take a good look at the combination sweep T at the top of the picture that threads into the galvanized... I tried to put a wye there originally. The problem is, a wye is still angled. Due to the angle, I couldn't get it fitted properly because of how short of a distance I was working with. There was just no way to make it happen. My only option was going to be a T, which you guys said wasn't the smartest thing the original plumber could have done, however now that I was in his shoes having to rebuild this, I knew exactly why he did that. The pipe is dead set against the wooden joist for the floor upstairs, so there's no room to come down on an angle to connect up to a wye. When I hit this point I remembered I had utilized a combination sweep T for another project, but I forgot where I found them at. I went to several hardware stores (big box and local mom/pop) and finally found it at Lowe's, which was my last stop (go figure). They're a very directional based T while still providing a 90 degree joint. I had to take a saw and notch out a thumb-sized dent into the wooden joist to make a bit more room for it, but it worked out so perfectly when it was all said and done. I bought the last two on the shelf... one to use, and one for a spare, but I ended up using both in this job, so
Anyway... it's a little busy, but it's super clean, no weeping, no leaks of any sort, it's on a slight slope as per recommendation, and most importantly the sump pump runs perfectly. I still can't believe what I found in that galvanized pipe at the exit, but dang I'm glad I took a sawzall to that pipe and took a quick look... Overall, this is another completed DIY job.
Thanks everybody who offered their time to help. It's appreciated like no other! The wife gave me a to my comment when I showed her the new plumbing work: "Who needs a plumber when you have a husband?"

UPDATE 2-CNX Gas Q1 profit up on higher production
* Q1 EPS $0.36 vs est $0.34
* Q1 production up 38 percent
* Says number of rigs has fallen to 8 from 22
* Raises 2009 production view to 87 bcf from 85 bcf
* Shares up 11 percent (Recasts; adds details, conference call comments, share movement)
BANGALORE, April 23 (Reuters) - CNX Gas Corp's CXG.N first-quarter profit beat expectations, helped by a 38 percent jump in production despite a drop in the number of rigs in operation, sending its shares up as much as 11 percent.
"The most productive rigs are still operating. We have 8 rigs running right now on the gas side compared to 22 rigs running a year ago. We are only drilling in the most valuable places that we see," Chief Executive Brett Harvey said on a conference call with analysts.
The number of rigs drilling for natural gas in the United States have fallen to their lowest level in more than six years, according to a recent report by oil services firm Baker Hughes Inc in Houston. [ID:nN17466220]
Tighter credit and a 70 percent slide in gas prices over the last nine months has forced many producers to scale back drilling operations. Continuación...

2014 Burton Parkitect. It is in excellent condition. Only been rode 3 days. Long enough for me to realize this board is not my style at this size. Minor scratches.
2014 EST Mission Restricted Bindings are in excellent condition also. Bindings have only been used 3 times.
I am asking $325 for both. Or best offer.
Will sell them separately. Board $250 and Bindings $100. Also, the board has a 3 year warranty. And the bindings have a 1 year warranty. Still have the board bag, bindings box and receipts I will send with it. Board retails for $450 and the bindings for $220
I can send you more pictures if interested.
But need shipping cost on top of price.

Overall I would recommend if you wanted a nice to chill and catch sleep... Nice rooms with clean bathroom, staff will drop you off at centre for free each day but you are a good distance away (walked home one night... Would have been quicker walking to England ha!) only real negative is no lockers and does state in room don't leave valuables so made me wary but I did have my own room! Overall I would definately recommend!!

-Slowest check in we have experienced EVER -Given double Aircon room -Clean and well decorated rooms - Old stains on blanket under sheet -Hot breakfast included but cold -We wanted to stay extra 2 nights which was agreed and booked but said we would need to move to twin instead.BUT after booking on here, they stated the room had no Aircon and no other rooms available. They refused to cancel the 2 nights so we are currently dealing with the problem via hostelworld. -uninterested manager & staff
Thank you for feed back , it could improve our service more and more , actually our reservation not working 24h like $200 room night, you did reservation 1night only at 22h20 and arrive here at 23h00, luckily you can still get a room,the next day after breakfast you did a reservation again for 2 more nights(you don't like why you did it again?)we try hard to explain you ,but you still force us to get a same room and demanded to get back deposit about $3 from hostelworld and tell us to cancel that reservation even we don't have any privilege to do it ,normally before you make a reservation ,I think you read and understand clearly about that policy

Trigeminal neuralgia is a neuropathic disorder characterized by episodes of intense pain in the face, originating from the trigeminal nerve. The clinical association between TN and hemifacial spasm is the so-called tic douloureux. It has been described as among the most painful conditions known to humankind. It is estimated that 1 in 15,000 or 20,000 people suffer from TN, although the actual figure may be significantly higher due to frequent misdiagnosis. In most cases, TN symptoms begin appearing more frequently over the age of 50, although there have been cases with patients being as young as three years of age. It is more common in females than males. Trigeminal neuralgia was first described by physician John Fothergill and treated surgically by John Murray Carnochan, both of whom were graduates of the University of Edinburgh Medical School.
Do you experience intense, sharp, jabbing pain in your forehead, cheek, or jaw? Have you had unexplained dental pain despite evaluation and dental procedures? You may have trigeminal neuralgia, sometimes called tic doloureaux. Dr. Brent L. Clyde explains the options for treating this condition.

Joseph DeRisi
Molecular Biologist
Associate Professor of Biochemistry and Biophysics
University of California, San Francisco
San Francisco, California
Age: 35 at time of award
Published September 28, 2004
Joseph DeRisi is a molecular biologist who develops and uses new technologies for exploring the complex, interdependent pathways regulating gene expression. He extends the impact of recent advances in DNA sequencing by examining not just the population of genes within a cell, but also their interactions that lead to complex behaviors. DeRisi uses glass slides, carefully prepared with spots of DNA, arranged by robotic devices in a microarray, to make hundreds and even thousands of measurements of individual gene expression from a single experimental sample. His studies on the most common type of malaria parasite have revealed an unusual pattern of synchronized gene activity. This observation suggests that the infectious agent may be particularly sensitive to drugs that disrupt the gene synchronization necessary to move into the next phase of its life cycle. DeRisi has also demonstrated the power of microarrays for rapid characterization of unknown viral strains; he and colleagues used this method to identify and characterize a novel coronavirus responsible for the outbreak of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) in early 2003. By enhancing methods for bulk measurement of gene activity and applying this technology to questions of vital biological and medical interest, DeRisi demonstrates the vast potential for discoveries in molecular genetics to decode the mysteries of cellular function and to advance the diagnosis and treatment of disease.
Joseph DeRisi received a B.A. (1992) from the University of California, Santa Cruz, and a Ph.D. (1999) from Stanford University. He was a postdoctoral fellow (1999–2000) and an assistant professor (2000–2004) in the Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics at the University of California, San Francisco; in 2004, he was promoted to his current position as an associate professor. His research has been published in such academic journals as Science, Nature Medicine, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA, and PLoS Biology.

Are you excited yet?
How about now…
Now I know you are…
There is something so sinful and ultimately decadent with this dessert that after one bite you find yourself eating another and another. Oreo Cheesecake Bars, just saying the name makes my mouth water. (cute huh!)
Combining my two loves Oreos, which if you have been reading this little blog of mine you already know has been a favorite of mine since he beginning of time, and cheesecake. Luscious, creamy cheesecake!
YUM!!!!! Read the rest of this entry »
What are S'mOreos you may ask???
Well, they are just Oreos® + chocolate bar + a big marshmallow = YUMMINESS!!!
I have never been a huge fan of smores… I mean I like them and I love chocolate but I have to really be in the mood for them. Now Oreos®, that's a completely different story. I'm a nut for Oreos®!
My kids they absolutely LOVE smores. I actually don't believe there is a dessert that they wouldn't eat… HA! They get that from their momma 🙂
Every year if your like my husband and children you wait impatiently for the month of February to roll by because of one thing and one thing only… GIRL SCOUT COOKIE SEASON!!!!
I mean its every where you turn little adorable girl scouts asking you to buy some scumpdiliumptious cookies that you know you can only once a year. I mean I know people who buy tons of boxes and store them in their freezer so they can have them for later in the year.
It's crazy! 🙂 But a GREAT crazy!!!!
Do you think if you wrap anything in bacon it would taste good???
I mean we've tried it with Bacon wrapped BBQ Chicken, Bacon & Cheese Pull-Apart Bread, Chicken Stuffed with Bacon, Feta & Spinach, and of course Brown Sugar Bacon Waffles.
I think so… I mean who doesn't love tater tots? Brown sugar? and bacon???
These little bite size appetizers are so addicting once you pop one in your mouth 5 minutes later you will see half the bowl finished.
All it is are tater tots wrapped with a small piece of cheese, then wrapped in BACON and rolled in brown sugar…. YUM! Read the rest of this entry »
As I sit here after having two weeks off of work, spending time with my kiddies and just taking 2014 all in I realize that each and every year I make such a huge deal with resolutions and what I need to change or fix.
You all know what I mean, "I need to lose weight, I need to be more active, I need to make more money, I nee to spend more time with my family, I want to strengthen my faith…" the list is pretty endless actually.
Today in church one of our pastors spoke about how a "New Year" so many want a "New You". One of the most important things we fail to realize is that it's not a New You we should be worrying about… We should really want to better ourselves not change who we are. Allow yourself to leave all the baggage, pain, whatever you felt was holding you down or back in 2014 and look ahead to 2015 to being reborn.
One of the passages that was shared this morning was:
" Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come." – 2 Corinthians 5:17
To 2015, may it be filled with laughter, love & life!
It's a brand new year, so many fun and exciting things are ahead. Trying to remember to cherish every moment with my kids because they are getting too big too fast!
Wishing your family a very Happy New Year! Thank you for taking time out of your day each week to read ThatsSoYummy. I can't wait to share so much more with you all this year!

School 's back… Can you believe that? Where has the summer gone? I think I actually saw summer hop on a plane and FLY by.
Yesterday marked the day I have a 7th grader and a 4th grader… That's crazy, along with that a 7 month old. That means that dinner has got to be easy and stress free. Here are a few of my favorite back to school recipes that I think will make dinner a little easier for you.
Happy back to school time all! 🙂
Creamy deliciousness that will make anyone and everyone happy!
Summer is almost over already… Can you believe it??? Two more weeks to go and its back to the grind for the kiddies…
Now for those who think that summer means just lounging around not in this house apparently… LOL!
You see Juju plays soccer and its pretty much year round.
Now I can admit he definitely has had a few weeks off at the beginning of the summer to just veg out but now he's back in the swing of things with practices through out the week and games on the weekends. This just so happens that when games are early in the morning on a Saturday Mommy dearest needs her morning juice… aka COFFEE!
Now there are those whom like their coffee just black with nothing added to it. Now in my opinion that's kinda boring and dull. Now in these parts we are far from boring and dull…
Mama loves some Coffee-mate creamer with her coffee, or what my sister-in-law likes to say is "you want a little coffee with all that creamer?"
Mmmmm creamer…… Read the rest of this entry »

The French-Guyana forward has joined the Baggies on loan for the rest of the season from French top-flight outfit Nancy.
The 27-year-old hitman cannot be recalled by his parent club during the duration of his loan - and Albion also have an exclusive option to buy Fortune during the summer.
Fortune's availability for Saturday's Barclays Premier League clash with Middlesbrough is now subject to the club receiving international clearance in time.
Fortune's arrival follows on from the loan signing of Arsenal starlet Jay Simpson, who notched his first goal in Baggies colours in Tuesday's FA Cup win at Peterborough.
Fortune joined Nancy in 2007 and his six goals last term helped them finish fourth and qualify for the UEFA Cup.
He began his career with a four-year stint at French side Angouleme and has also enjoyed spells with Lille, Rouen (loan), Brest and Utrecht.
Fortune will be competing with Roman Bednar, Luke Moore, Craig Beattie and Simpson for a starting place.
Baggies boss Tony Mowbray is also interested in Paris St Germain striker Peguy Luyindula and Benfica forward Ariza Makukula.Reuse content

The mother of a man stabbed to death in a London street today backed a new law which will see thugs caught brandishing knives in public automatically jailed.
The law, which comes into force on Monday, imposes a minimum prison term of six months for adults and at least four months in a detention and training centre for 16- and 17-year-olds.
Under the beefed up legislation minimum terms will be meted out to anyone using a knife in a threatening way.
Sarah Guidera's son Sam, 24, was fatally wounded by muggers who left him lying in the middle of the road in an attack in Sydenham in February last year. The university student had caught a train to Penge East before walking to a bus stop on the way to visit a friend when he was targeted. Police are still hunting for his attackers.
His mother said: "The law needed changing, there is no reason why anybody should be carrying a knife, it's ridiculous. Why are they are carrying a knife if they do not intend to use it? They should be jailed automatically. There are so many incidents and it seems to be getting worse. I cannot remember it being like this when I was young. I welcome this change in the law.
"Every day is difficult for us after Sam's death, things don't get easier."
Carrying a knife in a public place already carries a maximum sentence of four years in prison but under the new laws a jail sentence will automatically be imposed if the suspect's behaviour is deemed threatening.
There were 1,292 reported knife crimes in London in 2010/2011 and the Metropolitan Police has made tackling the threat from blades as well as guns one of its priorities.
Ann Oakes-Odger's son Westley, 27, was killed by two teenagers from Hackney. The attack happened as he was at a cash machine in Colchester in 2005.
Ms Oakes-Odger, who set up the KnifeCrimes.Org campaign after her son's death, said: "We need tougher penalties but this new law is half-baked. If a young person is a first-time offender and say they have their knife for protection they should have training, not be sent to jail.
"Second time round they should have the most severe sentence."
Home Office minister Jeremy Browne told the Commons that the Government was toughening the law on knife crime to stop stabbings blighting communities in London and other towns and cities across Britain.
He said: "There is clearly a distinction between someone carrying a weapon who claims that it is for legitimate purposes, and someone brandishing one in a way that is intended to threaten or intimidate."
He also stressed that too many people carrying knives are being let off with a caution. David Cameron has ordered a review of sentencing on this issue.
The Association of Chief Police Officers has also issued new guidance that there is an expectation that all people who illegally carry a knife should be charged.Reuse content

Portland, Ore.-based And I Was Like, What? has selected an appropriate name as a band preoccupied with 20-something confusion. We Have Nothing is a tribute to the trials of the young and the aimless, whether it be awakening from a whiskey coma missing your pants, learning that your girlfriend has run off with a traveling banjo player or realizing that you've spent the last four years of your life working at a Dairy Queen.
What?'s indie pop sound serves as a solid thematic accompaniment. Breezy, bouncy guitar-driven songs are supported by welcomed jabs and yowls on violin. Instrumental tracks complement the seven-song collection and provide some of the most engaging material.
Clocking in at 26 minutes, the collection of songs is beefier than your average EP but a quick study for a full-length album. After some unremarkable openers, the album picks up speed with its first instrumental and ends strong with a seven-and-a-half minute opus that only feels slightly overweight. Ironically, the jewel of the album ultimately detracts from the overall experience; each element in the song "F#" fuses together into a something so catchy and effective that it leaves everything else in the dust.
And I Was Like, What? plays Higgins Hall Thursday, July 22, at 7:30 PM with Tyson Ballew, Have A Nice Coma and The Lion The Tamer. $5.

Fire Information for Resource Management System (FIRMS)
FIRMS distributes Near Real-Time (NRT) active fire data within 3 hours of satellite overpass from both MODIS and VIIRS.
MODIS Active Fire Products
Collection 6 has been available since September 2015. Find out more about what 's new in Collection 6? The MODIS NRT active fire products (MCD14DL) are processed using the standard MOD14/MYD14 Fire and Thermal Anomalies product. Each MODIS active fire location represents the center of a 1km pixel that is flagged by the algorithm as containing one or more fires within the pixel.
VIIRS Active Fire Products
New: The VIIRS NRT 375 m active fire products (VNP14IMGTDL_NRT) complements MODIS fire detections but the improved spatial resolution of the 375 m data provides a greater response over fires of relatively small areas.The 375 m data also has improved nighttime performance. More...
Please note, in an effort to standardize VIIRS file names, the short name for VIIRS NRT 375 m product was changed from VNP14IMGT to VNP14IMGTDL_NRT (18 April 2016).

Woes at the Wolff
RoughRiders shut out for first time in 2014
By Chris Vosters / Frisco RoughRiders | May 19, 2014 3:43 PM ET
SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS (MAY 19, 2014) - For the first time this season, the Frisco RoughRiders failed to score a run in a game as the San Antonio Missions blanked the RoughRiders 4-0 on Monday at Wolff Stadium.
Conversely, the game also marked the first time the Missions shut out an opponent in 2014, and big league rehabber Casey Kelly (1-0) played a key role.
Kelly pitched six scoreless innings and scattered four hits (three to Trever Adams) with no walks and six strikeouts. Twice the 6-foot-3 210 pound right-hander stranded a runner on third.
Alec Asher (3-4) took the loss. His effort included three runs, three hits and three walks over 5 2/3 innings. The final two runs charged to Asher crossed after he left the game in the sixth inning.
With the loss, Frisco (26-18) drops the final three games on its eight-game road trip and finishes with a 3-5 record overall. The 'Riders fall to 2-6 at Wolff Stadium this season.
San Antonio (19-24) ends the series on a three-game win streak and leads the 2014 season series 7-5 over the RoughRiders.
Adams broke up Kelly's no-hit bid in the first inning with a single to right field. A baserunning blunder by Adams resulted in a 9-3 double play to end the inning and the 'Riders would rue the missed opportunity.
The 'Riders had another chance to score in the fourth inning with one out and runners on second and third, but Kelly rallied with a strikeout of Tomás Telis and Ryan Rua grounded out to end the inning.
Casey McElroy opened the scoring in the bottom half when he took an Asher offering into the teeth of the wind and out of the ballpark in right field. It was the ninth homer allowed by the right-hander this season and San Antonio scored first for the only time in the series to take a 1-0 lead.
Meanwhile, the RoughRiders left a man stranded at third for the second straight inning in the fifth. Kelly hit Odubel Herrera with a pitch, and Herrera subsequently advanced to second on a wild pitch.
After Teodoro Martinez grounded out and advanced Herrera to third, Kelly again retired the next two batters to maintain the 1-0 score.
Asher allowed a pair of hits through his first five innings, but could not escape the sixth, his final on the mound. The native of Florida recorded two quick outs, but allowed a double to Rymer Liriano and walked Jason Hagerty before right-hander Wilmer Font relieved the Frisco starter.
Needing one out to end the inning, Font allowed consecutive run-scoring singles, first to Austin Hedges and then to pinch hitter Lee Orr. In addition, the Missions snuck in another run on an error by Telis.
The RoughRiders' catcher attempted to throw out Orr as the latter stole second base, but the throw ricocheted off Orr and into the outfield, which allowed Hedges to score an unearned run. The trio of scores put San Antonio in command 4-0.
After a day off on Tuesday, the RoughRiders return to Dr Pepper Ballpark on Wednesday, May 21 to begin a three-game series with the Tulsa Drillers. First pitch on Wednesday is 7:05 p.m. and coverage begins at 6:40 p.m. on www.ridersbaseball.com.

As science educators, we know how important critical thinking and new technology skills are in the scientific community. The ability to question and make sense of the world around us is a skill we value highly in the scientific world. We recognize that if our students are going to become the next scientific innovators and responsible citizens, they need, skills to gather and evaluate data, make informed decisions, and communicate their ideas to others. As with scientific literacy, media literacy, production and other 21st century skills are grounded in inquiry, critical thinking, evaluation and communication. We also understand that our students are growing up in a world increasingly saturated with information and media messages. Our students will need to become media literate and well versed in the many modes of communication that surround them if they are to sort through this information and communicate their own ideas. There is no better place to learn these skills than in the science classroom.
Student media projects, like creating a short science video, can be meaningful ways for students to practice deciphering media messages, doing research and communicating information with technology. Get started now with this self-paced professional development module designed to help you create a short science video and then implement a video project in your own classroom!

|You are in: Football: World Cup 2002
Saturday, 1 September, 2001, 20:44 GMT 21:44 UK
Seaman wins keeper battle
BBC Sport Online's Stuart Roach reports on how David Seaman out-gunned counterpart Oliver Kahn during Germany's Munich mauling.
The gloves were off for what was billed as the heavyweight clash that would decide England's fate in Germany.
In the green corner stood Oliver Kahn, billed as the world's number one keeper. An immovable object on England's path to the World Cup finals.
In the white corner stood the pony-tailed veteran, David Seaman.
The Germans claimed his glass chin would see England suffer a knockout blow as the home side clinched a place in Japan and South Korea next summer.
Here, BBC Sport Online takes a restrospective look at the Olympic Stadium title fight that went Seaman's way:
Round One: First blood to the Germans as Seaman is beaten inside six minutes.
The England keeper's reactions are a touch rusty, though he can hardly be blamed for Carsten Jancker's opener.
Round two: Kahn is responding to the pre-match hype, showing lightning reflexes to kick away David Beckham's cross under pressure from Emile Heskey.
Round four: Clearly winded, Kahn is slow to react to David Beckham's curling shot and is grateful to see the shot squeeze just wide.
Round five: Kahn is clearly wobbling and nearly gifts England a lead when he picks up Sebastian Diesler's back pass to concede an indirect free kick.
Beckham's strike gives the keeper no chance, though Marko Rehmer takes a blow in the solar plexus as he clears off the line.
Round six: Seaman has hardly been tested since the opener but Kahn is all over the place.
Round seven: Suddenly, it's Seaman's turn to roll with the punches.
He drops what appears to be a routine cross and is relieved to see the ball drop out of reach of the lurking German forwards.
Round eight: Seaman is clearly intent on making up for his wobble and does so in fine style.
Boehme hits a scorching low drive that the keeper does brilliantly to get down to and palm away for a corner.
Round nine: With Kahn waiting for the half-time bell to ring, England land a crucial blow.
Kahn scrambles across his line but has no chance of keeping out Gerrard's fizzing strike.
Round 10: Kahn is rocked again as he only manages to get a hand to Owen's spinning strike and sees the ball drop inside his near post.
Round 11: England sense the "world's greatest goalkeeper" has lost his confidence and continue to reign in the blows.
Owen completes his hat-trick with a stunning finish that whistles past the stunned keeper.
Round 12: With 17 minutes left, Kahn is finally out for the count.
And the count reads five, Heskey slotting home with ease as the German keeper is left on the seat of his pants.
If it really was a boxing match, they would have stopped it there and then.

Pope praises Syria response
13 June 2013
At an event in Rome last week, Pope Francis praised the work of local church organisations that we support both inside Syria and in the wider region.
Support our Syria Crisis Appeal
The Pope praised the work of our partners, telling them that their courage in responding to the suffering of the people of Syria was the best way to cement peace.
"The work of various Catholic charitable agencies is extremely significant. Assisting the Syrian population, without regard for ethnic or religious affiliation, is the most direct way to contribute to peace," he said.
Mike Noyes, CAFOD's Head of Humanitarian Programmes, attended the meeting and had an opportunity to meet with the Pope. He said: "We welcome the Pope's words of encouragement. Our partners both inside Syria and on the borders in Lebanon, Turkey and Jordan are overwhelmed by the suffering of Syrians as the conflict continues to escalate.
Support our Syria Crisis Appeal>>
"Fr. Simon Faddoul, President of Caritas Lebanon, who was also at the meeting, told me that the humanitarian situation there is desperate, as over a million Syrian refugees have sought safety in their tiny neighbour.
"Fr. Faddoul says that there is a shortage of shelter to house the refugees, and diseases are spreading due to the unhygienic situation of the makeshift camps.
"Pope Francis has stressed his concern for the suffering that the people of Syria are going through and he encouraged the initiatives of the international community to bring a peaceful end to the conflict.
"We join him in that message for peace and an end to the suffering. The international community must work harder to create a meaningful peace process to bring an end to the suffering."

The Switch Workshop
Monday, October 1, 2012 at 9:00 AM (CDT)
Event Details
On the 1st of October, 24 people will attend a unique, hands-on, full-day workshop to learn about "The Switch".
Customers don't just buy a product — they switch from something else. And customers don't just leave a product — they switch to something else.
It's in these switching moments that the deepest customer insights can be found.
Yet, most businesses don't know the real reasons why people switch to — or from — their products. We'll teach you how to find out.
The workshop will be at the 37signals office in Chicago. The cost to attend is $1000. The workshop will be led by 37signals and The Rewired Group.
You'll participate in live customer interviews.
You'll learn new techniques for unearthing the deep insights that most companies never bother to dig up.
You'll understand why people "hire" and "fire" products to get a job done.
And you'll be able to put everything you learned to immediate use.
There's only one requirement: You'll be asked to bring something with you. Details will be provided one week before the workshop.
Spots are limited. Only 24 people will be able to attend and participate.
If you really want to know why customers are switching to — or away — from your product, attend. If you're only mildly interested, skip it to make room for someone else.

Mario Gotze grabbed the only goal as Germany stepped up World Cup preparations by beating Chile 1-0 on Wednesday.
Joachim Low's side is one of the favorites for the showpiece in Brazil later this year, having eased to nine wins and a draw in an unbeaten qualifying campaign.
Yet, in an era when it has been rightly lauded for its new-found attacking style, Germany was forced to rely on the methods of its predecessors. The home side snuck a result against a Chile side which lent further weight to the theory that it will be a match for anybody when the tournament starts.
On a night when much of the focus centered on whether Miroslav Klose could grab the one goal required to become Germany's most prolific marksman of all-time, it was Gotze who earned the victory.
The fact that Klose, who was withdrawn at halftime, remains level with the legendary Gerd Muller on 68 goals will not detract from an impressive win for Low's men.
Indeed, a contest between two free-flowing teams lived up to its billing as both sides showed glimpses of their prowess.
It was the South American side, which impressed in coming through the tough qualifying group to reach the World Cup, that started the brighter.
Germany seemed particularly confused by the visitors' 3-3-1-3 formation as Chile's fluidity repeatedly caught its opponent out.
One of Chile's counterattacks almost led to an opener as Gonzalo Jara's excellent diagonal ball found Mauricio Isla, whose cross was intercepted by Jerome Boateng with Barcelona's Alexis Sanchez lurking for a simple tap-in.
Philipp Lahm had to be on high alert too a few moments later when clearing off the line after Arturo Vidal had met the resulting corner with a bullet header.
Soon afterwards, though, Germany took the lead against the run of play.
Mesut Ozil played a fine one-two with Bastian Schweinsteiger on the edge of the box before sliding across to Gotze, who controlled quickly with his right foot and lifted the ball into the top corner with his left.
Chile should have leveled in the 26th minute but Vidal struck straight at the goalkeeper from close range after a rare Schweinsteiger error.
The famous goal that man-of-the-moment Klose craved almost came, albeit in fortuitous fashion, as the striker mis-controlled Kevin Grosskreutz's powerful effort towards goal to force a solid, diving stop from Johnny Herrera.
Germany came even closer to doubling its lead when Gotze found space in the area, yet he curled narrowly wide.
Much like the opening period, Chile came out of the blocks quickly after halftime and created a series of half chances.
The best opening fell to Sanchez, only for the Barcelona forward to hit the woodwork as the visitors continued to be frustrated.
Manuel Neuer's goal was under siege for the remainder of the half but a resolute defense was on hand to produce a series of last-ditch blocks as Germany sealed the win.

Re: Easter Sunday should be sacred — not for shopping, Nov. 8

Although I'm always intrigued by this letter writer, in a watching-a-train-wreck kind of way, I'm always in disagreement with his extremist views.

Those extreme Catholic views are evident in every single opinion he offers. Growing up Catholic myself, I recognize extremist views.

Take his latest opinion regarding shopping on holidays and Sunday. I ask which Lord's Day? The Jewish Sabbath is Saturday. It's the same for the 7th Day Adventists. Should that be the day we have off? Islam might prefer Friday.

Also, sacred to whom? And how is shopping stopping that? After all, everyone has the right to decline work on their holy days.

The truth is that we are not a country that holds to only one belief. We would be better served by having holidays that are not related to actual holy days and making all holidays secular.

Give the people some long weekends spread out throughout the year in recognition of certain events, such as Canada Day, Remembrance Day, etc.

None of these days should have any religious connections whatsoever, especially just one religious view.

CHAPEL HILL - The University of North Carolina women's lacrosse team got four goals from Kristen Taylor and three scores apiece from Jenn Russell and Megan Bosica and opened its 2010 season with an 18-7 victory over the University of Denver on Sunday afternoon at Fetzer Field.
Carolina improves to 1-0 this season with the victory. Denver, which lost on Friday night at Duke, falls to 0-2.
In addition to Taylor, Russell and Bosica, Becky Lynch had two goals and an assist for Carolina, Corey Donohoe had a goal and two assists, freshman Kara Cannizzaro had two goals and Laura Zimmerman had a goal and two assists. Kaitlyn Messinger and Jessica Griffin added single goals.
Ali Flury led Denver with two goals. Lexi Sanders had a goal and two assists. Lauren Ciccomascolo, Tulley Stapp, Kaiti Delaney and Alex Befus had single goals.
The Tar Heels got started quickly with a pair of goals in the first four minutes of the game, both of which were assisted by Zimmerman. She dished to Donohoe for the first goal at 28:33 and to Taylor at 25:54 for a 2-0 lead.
Denver's Stapp scored on a free position attempt at the 19:52 mark to cut the UNC lead to 2-1. A minute and a half later, Carolina responded when the freshman Cannizzaro took a pretty pass from Donohoe on the left wing and scored for a 3-1 lead. Russell scored an unassisted goal at the 13:27 mark, cutting in from the left side to the middle and beating a pair of Denver defenders for a 4-1 lead.
Flury scored for Denver at the 12:41 to pull back within two goals at 4-2, taking the ball near the top of the 12-meter arc and penetrating to score unassisted. After a pair of quick, unassisted goals by Taylor and Lynch made it 6-2, Flury scored for Denver off a pretty pass from Sanders at the 10:24 mark to make it 6-3 Tar Heels. Bosica wrapped around the Denver goal for an unassisted goal at the 8:41 mark for a 7-3 Tar Heel advantage. Taylor's third goal of the game, another unassisted tally, made it 8-3 with 4:58 left before the half. Ciccomascolo scored an unassisted goal at 2:49, slicing down the middle from the top of the eight-meter arc to make it 8-4. Griffin's powerful shot from inside the eight-meter arc off a pass from Bosica made the score 9-4 UNC and forced a Denver timeout. A free position goal by Bosica at the 1:15 mark made it 10-4. Cannizzaro scored again with 28 seconds left in the half to make the score 11-4 at the break.
Bosica got the scoring started with an unassisted tally just over a minute into the second half, making the score 12-4 Carolina. After the subsequent draw control, Taylor scored her fourth goal of the afternoon off a pretty, fast break pass from Lynch, making the score 13-4 UNC with 28:32 left. Back to-back free position goals by Russell made it 15-4 with over 26 minutes remaining and the rout was on. The teams traded goals but the outcome was never in doubt as UNC maintained a double-digit lead the rest of the way.
Carolina will return to action on Friday at 6 p.m. against Vanderbilt at Fetzer Field.

JERUSALEM — Teva Pharmaceutical Industries has appointed Erez Vigodman as president and CEO, the Israeli drug maker said Thursday.
Vigodman will replace acting president and CEO Eyal Desheh, who will return to his previous position as group EVP and CFO. Desheh took the interim position after the departure of former president and CEO Jeremy Levin in October 2013.
"I would like to welcome Erez to his new position as the CEO of Teva," Teva chairman Phillip Frost said. "As a member of the Teva board since 2009, Erez has a deep understanding of the company and the industry in which it operates, putting him in a strong position to hit the ground running and deliver value for shareholders."
Vigodman plans to leave his current position as president and CEO of agrochemical company Makhteshim Agan Industries on Feb. 6.

Pupils from Afghanistan's first music academy will make their British debut at the Royal Festival Hall tonight.
Six musicians aged 11 to 17 years old have made their first trip abroad for a cultural, musical and social exchange arranged by the British Council.
The Taliban regime had banned music, smashing instruments.
The Afghanistan National Institute of Music was established in 2010, with its founder, Dr Ahmad Sarmast, hoping to "repair the damage done to the country's cultural life" through years of war while "educating and nurturing" musically gifted children.
Now, the school has 150 students aged between 10 and 20 years, half of whom are girls. A large proportion of the intake are orphans.
While tonight's performance is invitation only, the public can see them for free tomorrow and Monday.
Speaking at the Southbank Centre through an interpreter, Waheedullah Amiri, 17, a former street seller, said: "In Taliban times there was no music and people could only hear it in secret, now there is a lot of smiles and music."

I smell smoke from the comming flames.
This is a discussion on New to the XD club within the Defensive Carry Guns forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; This is just a cool little story I would like to share with you guys and gals with regard to how I became a member ...
This is just a cool little story I would like to share with you guys and gals with regard to how I became a member of the XD45 club. This will be my main carry once it is tried and trusted. I got my concealed carry license a few days ago and have wanted to trade one of my pistols (Springfield GI micro) in on one I have been eyeing. A Springfield XD45. I went to the gun shop where I bought it and asked about trade in value and the guy gave me a number that was insulting to me, so I just said thanks but no thanks and started out the door. Then this guy that was at the counter, another customer, stops me and asked what it was I was interested in selling. So I stopped and showed him and we chatted for a minute about it and he showed a little interest in it and asked me to meet him outside after he made his purchase and I agreed. He bought a grip or something for his wife and then he came out. While I was waiting I told my wife, heck lets just go and she encouraged me to wait for the guy just to see what he wanted. It turns out that this guy, I still don't know his name or anything, has been looking for the pistol I had as his friend had got one and he really liked it. We talked for a few more minutes about it and then he asked what I wanted for it and I told him to make and offer and we could go from there. He told me he would give me 400 bucks for it (I only paid 425 2 years ago, though it is like new I only shot about 5 or 6 rounds out of it) and I said that would be fine. He peeled off 400 dollars and we made the deal right in front of this place. I went back in and got the pistol I have been wanting. I never am in the right place at the right time but the planets must be aligned for me today!!! What a freakin story...I am so stoked I can't believe it.

It depends on the state (and I have no knowledge of Georgia law) but here in Virginia that would have been legal. So long as he didn't have knowledge the man was going to commit a felony with the pistol, its legal. A bill of sale can be attained for future documentation, but its not necessary.

"That seven-minute sizzle reel got seven TV offers," Farah remembers.
Anticipation of the April wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton has brought a sizzle to London like nothing else.
As soon as everything started to sizzle hard, lots of water was added to the pot along with a small handful of salt.
Mrs. Clinton gave them just the sizzle they yearned for in a recent interview in The Atlantic.
sizzle travels in a case covered with a leopard-print blanket, with her products stored in a matching leopard-print tote bag.
There were pleasant cracklings of burning pine sticks and the sizzle of frying bacon.
The stranger broke off an icicle and laid it on the stove to hear it sizzle.
Without asking Penny for anything, he wrapped them in corn meal, salted each fish and let it sizzle in hot butter.
He was slowly being cremated and it was fascinating to watch him sizzle.
Then he took the wet seaweed and threw it into the fireplace, where it began to sizzle and steam.
c.1600, "to burn with a hissing sound," perhaps a frequentative form of Middle English sissen "hiss, buzz" (c.1300), of imitative origin. The figurative sense is attested from 1859. Related: Sizzled; sizzling. The noun is first recorded 1823.

LOUISVILLE, Ky.Copyright 2017 The Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Katina Powell said Saturday that she is "so sorry" about the fallout of the sex scandal that resulted in sanctions against Louisville's basketball program, but added that her experience was "worth surviving."
In her 2015 book, "Breaking Cardinal Rules: Basketball and the Escort Queen," Powell alleged that former Cardinals staffer Andre McGee hired her and other dancers to strip and have sex with recruits and players. Several investigations followed, including one by the NCAA that resulted in a decision Thursday to suspend coach Rick Pitino and levy other penalties against Louisville. The NCAA described the activities as "repugnant."

Hollywood Park pick six pays $6,935
INGLEWOOD, Calif. - The pick six paid $6,935 at Betfair Hollywood Park on Thursday after bettors added $2,651,873 to the pool, chasing a carryover of $560,134 from Sunday.
There were 285 winning tickets. While longshots led to the carryover, the Thursday program was largely formful.
The first three winners were the second choices in the betting – Blushing Martha ($8.20), Beau Royale ($6.80) and Private Affair ($6.60). In the seventh race, the fourth leg of the bet, Church Avenue led throughout as the favorite, paying $6.20.
The only outsider to win was Shadow Runner ($16.60) in the eighth race.
The fourth choice in the betting, Shadow Runner closed along the rail to catch 5-2 favorite A Toast To You in deep stretch of a turf race for $50,000 claimers.
In the last race, Sacred Ovation ($4.60) held off a sustained threat from 21-1 I'll Run the Show to win a maiden claimer over six furlongs by a nose. Sacred Ovation was favored.
That's one heck of a headline for a relatively tiny P6 amount of money. I don't find Gino the way Mike does, but I do find it incredible that TVG by now hasn't realized his limitations & compensate for them. If they did, Gino's talents would be better served & his growing-pains negatives would be eased; the show itself would be better. In the long term, if they stick with him, I think GB will do just fine. But for now, they don't realize that he needs compatible partners instead of the goofy mix-&-match tag teams that he ends up in (he's not the only one. The Schrupp - Carothers mismatch is violating ten or fifteen Twilight Zone copyrights). And he's got to find a vocal coach who can teach him how to speak in shorter sentences - & in several octaves, instead of that one long tone of voice that comes pretty darned close at times to being an unpleasant whine. Say TVG - how about one tiny improvement? STOP WITH THE ON-SET CAMERA CLOSEUPS. All you're doing is putting the country on notice that the drug stores could be selling a lot more hair shampoo in CA than is currently sold.
Seriously, if there's a single serious horseplayer out there that listens to anything Gino Buccola says, you deserve to lose. While I appreciate the time Gino puts in, and his efforts to cover the shifts no one else wants, his intelligent insights on races are non-existent. I'm sure there are some TVG lovers out there saying "if your so smart, why don't you get on there and give your picks" right now. Remember, these folks on TVG chose to be in those roles. As such, they open themselves up to justifiable critiques. What TVG fails to grasp and what HRTV (other than Peter Lurie) clearly understands, is those of us out here that watch these stations are horseplayers already. We tune in for race coverage and an occasional handicapping insight. If we wanted entertainment, we would go to a movie, not watch a self-indulgent clown on one of the two channels. And while I'm on this topic, any of you "on air personalities" that use the terms "yummy" and "aggressive" over and over during broadcasts, please stop!! Neither of these words has any place being used when your using it. Please stop!! On the other side of the coin, give us more Nick Hines, Paul LoDuca, Jeff Siegel, Simon Bray, Gary Mandella!! While there may be more than on this list, these folks all focus on the horse race at hand, not some fraternity house banter. All most of us want is intelligent, thoughtful, timely race coverage. We can watch the races on our computer, but choose to watch the TV coverage from time to time. At least give us a decent production, not something that should get panned on Tosh.O.
TVG handicappers are like the guys at the other end of the phone lines at Cash Call.
Unreal, they thought carry over, thats Hollywood Park caulk fest at its best. TVG handicappers ar nuts. singling 10-1 shots when caulk were clearly winners., an throwing out 15-1 shots that win when there 5 deep out of 8 horses anyway. California racing is turning into yuck.

Some signs of recovery for fenestration
February 16, 2009
The U.S. economy went into recession in December 2007, after six years of growth, said Michael E. Collins, a senior associate with Jordan, Knauff & Co., an investment banking firm in Chicago. While glass and fenestration companies face challenges and belt tightening in the tougher times, the recession isn't all bad news for the industry, Collins said. "The industry is a lot leaner, a lot meaner, and a lot more efficient," he said. "It will be better for the industry, long term."
Collins delivered the presentation Economic Update and Industry Overview Feb. 15 during GlassWeek, hosted by the Glass Association of North America, Topeka, Kan.
On the residential side, 2.3 million homes went into foreclosure in 2008, an increase of 81 percent from 2007, Collins said. While he didn't offer a precise prediction for the recovery of the housing market, but said many economists are pointing to the last half of 2009 or early 2010. "Home production tends to increase 15 percent to 30 percent in the first quarter of a recovery," he said. "That will be one of our first indications that things are turning around."
Housing has several things going for it in the current climate. "Commodity prices are down. Energy and material prices are down. That's very positive. There are a lot of tax credits and other programs [to facilitate home buying] and the government is taking on lots of other programs in the stimulus package," Collins said. Additionally, 14 million to 15 million new households will be created in the next 10 years, all creating a demand for housing, single or multifamily, according to the Joint Center for Housing Studies of Harvard University, Cambridge, Mass.
The multifamily sector will be boosted by former single family housing owners becoming renters, in addition to first-time buyers afraid to enter the single family market, Collins said. The Northeast 's multifamily will likely be the first to bounce out of the recession as the segment hasn't been as overbuilt and has the lowest multifamily vacancy rates across the country. The Southeast and Southwest have the highest vacancy rates for multifamily and will take the longest to rebound, he said.
The industry has felt the slide of the commercial market, and Collins said the rebound for that segment will lag that of resident. "The companies on the residential side don't have too much pity for those on the commercial side, because they've had it so good for so long, and they're only just starting to crack," Collins said. "Commercial lags residential by about 12 to 18 months. If an area isn't doing well, you'll have less demand for smoothie shops and businesses."
The Western states have the lowest vacancy rates for the industrial segment and will be the first to rebound on that end; the Rustbelt region with the highest vacancy rates will be the last to recover, Collins said. For the retail segment, California has the lowest vacancy rates, and the Midwest the highest.

Having carrying a Glock 26 in my pocket many times, I can say that it is A LOT of gun to put in a pocket. It only works for me in the very big front pockets of my Columbia cargo shorts.
I have no experience with the Walther PPS.
Normally when I pocket carry, I use a KelTec P3AT. I will evaluate the KelTec PF9 when I get back to The World, though.
