Dear ESB: I need a rebound dress

i don't have any advice, but i think that dress is pretty and i'm sorry that it didn't work out! :(ReplyDelete
You could have it copied? It doesn't look complicated. I think the styling in the picture has a lot to do with it looking lame on the model here... Get someone to make that shit for you.ReplyDeleteReplies
OP here-Delete
I thought about that at first, but what I really love about it is the specific lace that they used which would be, I think, hard to find or replicate. Plus in the end I feel like I would keep comparing it to the original which is really unfair to a talented designer/seamstress. Not a bad thought, though.

Did you try looking at some of the used wedding dress sites? You might be surprised what you find there. I loved this dress too. I contacted a lady in Brooklyn about making a dress for me, and she has some on her etsy page that are awesome. She just started selling in Lovely Bride in NY and LA. http://www.etsy.com/listing/101266753/chantilly-lace-and-silk-crepe-bias?ref=shop_home_active Maybe you could get something similar through her or through another etsy seller? Hope this helps! I understand trying to stick to budget and having your dress blow it out of the water. I ended up just going for what I wanted (way out of budget), but it means I have to give other things up. Good luck!ReplyDeleteReplies
Those are more expensive than the original!Delete

And now for something completely different (since you led me to NM's clearance sale, fingers crossed that you're close to a 6 or 8):ReplyDelete
If the walls of your venue are that color, gold David Meister would be killer! (ESB, shield thine eyes, it's poly)
Perhaps still nudging budget, but closer to the price of the red one, this J. MendelJ. Mendel has a soft, romantic feel similar to the doily.Replies
Love the J. MendelDelete
That J. Mendel is GLORIOUS.ReplyDelete
Maybe something by Grace Loves Lace.ReplyDeleteReplies
Oh, nice! Her stuff is really lovely, I'll definitely look into it.Delete
You might like something like this Tadashi Shoji (I know it's sold out at Bloomingdales, but there are more than a few on ebay and other wedding resale sites)ReplyDeleteReplies
I wore that dress. I loved that dress. I'm a curvy size 14 and it was somehow crazy flattering.Delete
I like that dress too. It doesn't look that great on the model but I bookmarked this wedding a long time ago and I think it is so pretty on this bride.Delete
ah! boobs make ALL the difference.Delete
I mean, they sell that dress at BHLDN, too. Girly has probably seen it if she found her dream dress there.Delete
Interesting to see that it looks a little better on non-models, because when I look at that dress I also see the "silk baby bump." But maybe in person it wouldn't read that way? I'll check it out.Delete

I really want to love this, but the bustier is not quite my thing. Although the skirt on this is perfect. Thanks!Delete
- AnonymousSeptember 18, 2013 at 3:35 PM
i want this ohhh myDelete
Are you in NY or LA? Have you asked Shareen for help?ReplyDeleteReplies
I'm actually in the process of moving from LA to NY, I'll definitely check her out. Thanks!Delete
Something about that dress just looks a bit cheap to me. If you're going for the pretty, romantic angle, check out Elizabeth Dye or the awesome and amazing LeanimalReplyDeleteReplies
That's totally what I'm going for and I will absolutely check them out. Their stuff looks gorgeous.Delete

The dress also reminds me of a few 2013 Saja dresses. Though by all means, feel free to look at more than just the 2013 collection. ;) While the prices aren't posted on their website, the (Style me pretty) lookbook used to have the prices for many of them.ReplyDeleteReplies
I looked into Saja before but the place where I tried them didn't have the two that I was really interested in. Thanks for the reminder- now that I'm heading to NY maybe I can head to their flagship...Delete
Open to black? i like this: http://www.neimanmarcus.com/p/Alice-Olivia-Robinson-Lace-Chiffon-Gown-Lace-Noir/prod160060310_cat47300765__/?icid=&searchType=EndecaDrivenCat&rte=%252Fcategory.jsp%253FitemId%253Dcat47300765%2526pageSize%253D30%2526No%253D0%2526refinements%253D&eItemId=prod160060310&cmCat=productReplyDelete
or perhaps:Replies
I'm not crazy about the black, but that dress is great regardless.Delete
My condolences on your dress breakup. I feel ya cause I too fell in love with a dress that was a non option. To be honest, the dress I decided upon is gorgeous, but it doesn't even come close to touching the other one. Hope you have better luck!ReplyDelete
Etsy seems like a good choice, if you are comfortable with the whole paying for a dress before you try it on thing. Some options:
Similar sleeves
This top with this skirt
Options from elsewhere on the internet:
Elizabeth DyeReplies
I'm sort of wary of paying w/o trying it on first, but that just might be my option. At least I have an idea of what looks good on me I guess?Delete
Also, love the top + skirt option, pus the Elizabeth Dye suggestion.
Looking around, I found this Catherine Deane that you can rent. It doesn't really look anything like the other one, I just love it and wanted to share.ReplyDelete
The dress in question is on PreOwnedWeddingDresses.com in a size 2...but for only $400 off (I love how it says "worn only once"--yeah, no shit). Maybe she'd take a lower price, assuming you're a 2...
There was a size 0 on eBay but no one bought it (again, could message seller).
What is happening here? Does not seem legit.
Anyway. I actually like the dress a lot (not in the picture above but on the real brides or other models I've seen it on). Maybe you could just start cold-call-emailing people. Brides on the blogs, or stylists from a shoot? Obnoxious? Maybe, but who cares? If someone emailed me and offered me $1K for my old dress, I'd certainly consider it.Replies
The on on preowned never responded to my emails, sadly. But a good idea to look there. I doubt I could swing a size 0 but I definitely thought about trying, hah. And I hadn't thought about cold-emailing folks... Not sure if I'm totally comfortable with it but it's certainly an option to consider. Thanks!Delete

I actually fell in love w/ that dress too-- ended up going with a completely different extremely modern dress, however, my mom is handy with sewing & she turned her super 70s lace wedding dress into a pretty comparable version of this dress by just chopping off the poofy arms on the lace overlay... so maybe check out vintage dresses?ReplyDelete
Also, I highly recc'd trying on that Tadashi Shoji dress people are linking to, it was also really beautiful in person (& the parts that look sheer are actually mostly just nude fabric).
- AnonymousSeptember 18, 2013 at 6:59 PM
When you get to New York, check these guys out.ReplyDelete
They'll also do custom combinations of styles with different lace/fabric choices.
I send the suggestion to go to the Saja store in New York. I ended up there (and Lovely) after I had fallen in love with a Nicole Miller and some of the dresses had me seriously rethinking my decision. Really gorgeous in person and for the most part WELL within your budget. Ultimately went with the NM but under different circumstances I would have bought a Saja.ReplyDelete

PALM BEACH — Salvors from New Jersey will be hanging out at Mollie Wilmot`s estate for a while.
In fact, now they`re not even going to try to budge the grounded Mercedes I until easterly winds blow during high tide, they said Monday night.
``It`s east winds that bring bad weather. You never heard of the Wicked Witch of the West. It`s the Wicked Witch of the East,`` said John Arnold Witte, president of Donjon Marine Co., which was hired to remove the rusty, 197-foot ship from Wilmot`s back yard.
Easterly winds will produce stormy seas, dislodging sand from around the boat and easing the removal, salvage master Billy Kratz said. Westerly winds have thwarted previous efforts to move the freighter more than a few inches.
Monday, the ship budged a meager half-inch after three pulls, making for a total of about nine inches since crew members prepared to remove the freighter Jan. 12.
``We said from the beginning, and we say now, it will depend on weather,`` said Witte, who said he expects state officials to ``only be reasonable`` in enforcing a Jan. 31 deadline.
Witte, speaking to journalists huddled in freezing conditions Monday night, said there is no question his crews will take Mercedes I off the beach.
``We feel confident and comfortable that we`ve rigged the boat with the proper equipment,`` he said, ``and that the right working conditions -- namely easterly winds at high tide -- will allow us to make a professional and successful effort.``

Saad Al Hilli, Alps Murder Victim, Reportedly Had Bank Account Linked To Saddam -
Saad al-Hilli, the British-Iraqi man killed alongside his wife and mother-in-law in a mysterious shooting in the French Alps last month, had access to a bank account linked to late Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, the German daily Bild reported on its website Monday.
Citing a source with German foreign intelligence service BND, Bild said that the 50-year-old victim's late father had run a Swiss bank account for Hussein's Baath party and that following the father's death last year, al-Hilli gained access to the account and its balance of some one million euros.
The source said BND had been monitoring financial transactions between Iraq and the West for decades.
BND refused to comment on the matter to AFP.
French prosecutors said earlier this month that a Swiss bank account monitored by al-Hilli and opened by his father had not seen any movement in a long time.
Al-Hilli and his wife and mother-in-law were found dead in their car in France's Haute Savoie region last month in an attack survived by their two young daughters.
A French cyclist, an apparent innocent bystander, was also shot dead.

The JDK support contract between Oracle and SAP was terminated by Oracle (effective 31.12.2013).
The agreement covered support for Oracle JDKs and JREs incorporated in SAP products and running on "General Purpose Desktop Computers and Servers" as defined in the Oracle Binary Code License Agreement for the Java SE Platform Products (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/terms/license/index.html). The Java SE releases were supported for 10 years after the general availability of the first release of a release family, so that till the end of 2013 Java SE 5, 6 and 7 were covered by the agreement.
Due to Oracle's termination of the agreement, SAP cannot provide Oracle JDK support coverage starting from January 2014.
This means that from 2014 on, there is no
- no special Oracle JDK support channel via SAP
- no SAP-specific download site for Oracle JDKs that are no longer publicly available
SAP has built a JDK, called SAP JVM, which covers all JDK releases starting with version 1.4.2. It can be used in most scenarios with SAP products and is fully supported by SAP. For example, SAP JVM has been used by SAP NetWeaver for years; especially several thousand SAP NetWeaver 7.0 and 2004 Web AS Java systems have been migrated successfully to SAP JVM since 2011. Newer SAP NetWeaver releases run on the SAP JVM exclusively. For more information about SAP JVM, see http://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/display/ASJAVA/SAP+JVM.
In case an Oracle JDK is still to be used, new Oracle JDKs are publicly available on Oracle's general JDK download site; the following is provided for courtesy reasons and not any SAP offering or based on any SAP obligation: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html. Here you may find a link to an archive of previous releases. For these releases no patches are available without a corresponding support contract with Oracle. You may search for known errors and report bugs via Oracle's bug database (http://bugs.sun.com). Oracle's JDK support roadmap is outlined on http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/eol-135779.html.
For SAP product-specific information concerning the recommended JDK usage look at the references to SAP Notes in this document. In case of product-specific questions open a message on the related component. Please carefully check, whether or not you need a separate legal agreement between you and Oracle so that your solution is supported properly.

Women's scars of war
By Jessica Yadegaran
When retired Army Staff Sgt. June Moss returned from Iraq, she had to explain to her children why she couldn't hug them. Any embrace longer than two seconds made her skin feel like it was on fire.
At night, sleep never came. Instead, Moss baked cupcakes until dawn. At playgrounds, surrounded by the noise and chaos of crowds, Moss felt like her chest was going to explode. Worse, she was afraid she'd hurt someone.
"I wasn't the same person when I came home," says Moss, who returned from Iraq in August 2003 and now lives in East Palo Alto. "I was different. I was cold."
When imagining a struggling war veteran, it's likely few people picture a young woman such as Moss, who was eventually diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder. But women make up 15 percent of active-duty military members, and the Department of Veterans Affairs estimates that by the end of 2020, women will represent 10 percent of the nation's veteran population.
And though military and congressional policy says women can't participate in direct ground combat, women carry guns, and use them. They drive Humvees hit by improvised explosive devices. They interrogate, and witness bloodshed. But for women, there is a major difference. They come home to a society that for the most part doesn't understand — or accept — that they're serving in the line of fire.
Fear of assault
Complicating matters, some female soldiers live in fear of being attacked by one of their own. In 2008, the VA reported that one in five women screened for military sexual trauma had been sexually harassed or assaulted by a fellow soldier.
Moss did little alone, whether it was burning confidential papers or taking out the trash. But she still feared for her safety, especially at night. "You already feared for your life," Moss says, "but the thought of a soldier attacking another soldier?"
The mother of two spent eight months in 2003 as a light-wheel vehicle mechanic with the Third Infantry Division. As she drove through bustling marketplaces, often under aerial or ground fire, she clutched the steering wheel, scanning for suicide bombers. To get through those drives, she prayed.
"I was calling to God really heavily," Moss says. "I was scared for my life every day, not knowing if I was going to come home to my children and what loss they would have to bear. So I just had to have my wits about me and believe in my training."
Back at the base, Moss struggled with her identity. She was a soldier, wife to a soldier (her now ex-husband, who was also in the Army), her family's primary caregiver and a mechanic. Still, she tried to blend in, especially since she was the only woman in her unit. She cut her hair short. She wore boxer shorts and big T-shirts to hide her figure. She tried to be overly tough and stand up for herself, she says, particularly when male soldiers made off-color remarks or unwanted gestures.
"You just have to know when to say, 'Stop. I don't appreciate that,' " Moss says.
Reconciling identity is among the biggest issues Tia Christopher sees in her work with female veterans. As the women veterans coordinator for Swords to Plowshares' Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans Project, Christopher helps homeless and low-income women obtain medical care, housing and job training upon returning from war.
"So many of my female clients who were in Iraq put up with things, even injuries, because they don't want to be that girl (who complains)," she says. "They soldier on and silently bear that burden. But you can lose a certain amount of your femininity."
On the upside, the military has recognized and is beginning to rectify the lack of postwar support for women. Historically, female veterans have had a hard time gaining access to services because facilities aren't welcoming or because they didn't know the VA served them, says Garovoy, a clinical psychologist. Due to the increase of women in the military — 20 percent of new recruits are female — programs tailored for women are increasing. Still, there are barriers. Even diagnosing post-traumatic stress disorder is a major issue.
"Because women serving in Iraq are often performing duties not in their job title, and because of the nature of the warfare, they are coming back with symptoms of the disorder and having to deal with the burden of proof," Christopher says.
Returning to the states, Moss, then 32, was at first misdiagnosed. Had she been a man, the diagnosis might have been swifter, Moss says.
"They probably thought, 'Oh you're a woman. You must have depression,' " she says.
Many don't seek help
Treatment is equally challenging. "If you're the only woman in a support group, you might not feel comfortable and are less likely to go back," Christopher says. At groups for women dealing with post-traumatic stress disorder, the focus is often on sexual trauma, which further alienates those who are there for combat-related traumas, Christopher adds.
Sgt. Myrna Hernandez, of Concord, wasn't diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder for years. She didn't seek help because she didn't want to admit something was wrong. When Hernandez, who served as maintenance support for Pittsburg's 870th Military Police Company, returned from Iraq in 2004, her mood was sour. She was anti-social, she says, and turned to drinking. On good nights, she got three hours of sleep.
She was also nervous about reuniting with her 6-year-old son, Zen. Hernandez had two opportunities to come home — including vacation time while she was in Iraq — but she chose to stay away.
"It was pretty rough," recalls Hernandez, who was 26 at the time and one of six women in her company. "But I thought it would be too difficult for him to see me and have to say goodbye again."
Meanwhile, at the base, Hernandez was dealing with more difficulties. She was one of three women who accused their commanding captain, Leo Merck, of peering beneath a shower wall and snapping nude photographs of them at Abu Ghraib. In a deal to avoid a court-martial, Merck resigned from the National Guard in November 2003. In May 2004, Hernandez told the Bay Area News Group that she saw Merck taking the photos.
Still, she's not bitter.
"For most people, (the experience) would turn them against the military," says Hernandez, who did prisoner processing and other duties similar to military police. "But I can't let the actions of a few people ultimately change how I feel about my service."
Today, Hernandez works as a technician in the Army Reserves. She attends support groups at the Concord Vet Center but is usually the only woman.
As President Barack Obama prepares to send more troops to Afghanistan, Hernandez braces herself for the possibility of another deployment.
"If I'm told I have to go, I will," she says. "At the same time, it's pretty scary. I guess knowing you have a job to do kind of overshadows that."
Ultimately, she is proud of the contribution she and all women are making in the military. "We don't do infantry jobs, but I think we've come a long way since the image of the nurse in heels," she says.
Moss feels similar pride. Last month, after 12 years of service, she permanently retired from the military, and she works as an assistant in chaplain services for the VA Palo Alto Health Care System. She still struggles with her symptoms, but because she knows her triggers, she avoids them.
At restaurants, she sits in a corner booth that allows her an unobstructed view, should there be a sudden or loud noise. When she picks up her children up at school, she calls the school secretary to send them outside. She can't wait in the busy parking lot with the other parents.
In the end, though, Moss measures her progress by the duration of her embraces. When her children need a hug, they can now linger in her arms for a full 10 seconds.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) - Florida linebacker Brandon Spikes has had his suspension for apparently trying to gouge the eyes of a Georgia running back increased to a full game.
Coach Urban Meyer says it was in the best interest of the team for Spikes to serve a full-game suspension when the top-ranked Gators play Vanderbilt on Saturday. Meyer had faced some criticism for only suspending his All-American linebacker for only the first half the Vandy game. The Southeastern Conference accepted the original punishment. Spikes stuck his hand into the facemask of Georgia's Washaun Ealey during Florida 41-17 victory against the Bulldogs last week.
There was no penalty called at the time, but Meyer went back and looked at the play of tape and decided to punish Spikes.

The Glory of the Magnolia for Smaller Spaces
The Magnolia is prized for its abundant, long- lasting blooms, fragrance and showy color. Plant them as a hedge along your house or as a single accent at the edge of a patio planting bed.
The Magnolia is an ancient genus with many different varieties. With the "Jane" you can have all the glory of a Magnolia without the need for extensive space or care.
Imagine this Magnolia planted in front of your home. 8-9 inch tulip-shaped flowers of purple with white centers appear in late spring amid the bare branches. 6 inch leathery, dark-green leaves prepare the Jane for summer. You may think at this point that your Magnolia is done blooming…but wait. Throughout the summer your Jane will surprise you with more purple "tulips" here and there throughout the season.
The Jane Magnolia is a hardy plant. You won't have to fuss over it in order to enjoy its performance. Its late-spring bloom further helps it avoid the frost issues that you have to contend with in growing your other spring-flowering plants. The Jane has a compact, shrub-like appearance, reaching heights of 10-15 feet with a 10 foot spread. You can prune it to fit a smaller space in your flower bed if you like, or allow it to reach its full potential size in a hedge. The leaves turn a lovely copper-yellow in the fall.
Magnolia Jane is one of the "little girl" hybrids developed in the 1950s. It's not only valued by plant enthusiasts, but also by crafters and some health practitioners. The flowers, cones and seeds are often used in craft projects, and even the leaves are used in wreathes. Magnolia extract is thought by some to have many healing benefits, including being used as a stress-reducer.
Absorb the summer-long beauty of this carefree plant and you'll soon understand why it's such a sought-after landscape accent.

There's this lawyer in Washington who pretty much runs everything in that incestuous little company town where they do public service for personal profit. His name is Robert Barnett.
Once I got a letter from him saying that Hillary Clinton wouldn't be able to talk to me for a book I was attempting to write about her husband's first year as president. Fair enough. Couldn't blame her.
Then I saw Bob Woodward's book, "The Agenda," on that husband's first six months as president. Hillary had not only talked to Woodward, but shared juicy information. Fair enough. People are afraid not to talk to Woodward because they know some other rascal is bound to talk to him about them.
So I beheld Woodward's acknowledgements section. There he gave a shout-out to his long-time agent. That would be this same Robert Barnett. Then I learned that this Barnett was married to a CBS reporter. People in Washington were talking at the time about Arkansas as a strange little backwater place where business and politics overlapped inappropriately. Did they have no sense of themselves, of irony, of their own absurdity, of their self-delusion, never mind their desperate need for introspection?
Why do I bring this up now? Perhaps it's partly because I can't seem to get quite over it. But mainly it's because there are these negotiations being started in Washington to mend the fences between Hillary and Barack Obama. And the point person for these epic delicacies of such great national interest is, you guessed it, this same Robert Barnett.
He is trusted by both Hillary and Barack because, you guessed it again, he brokered million-dollar book deals for each of them.They're trying to figure out exactly how Barack is going to get his people to send Hillary money to pay off her debt. They're trying to figure out the extent to which Barack will pay for Hillary's travel and expenses if and when she campaigns for him — a negotiating point that would seem to say that she won't be the vice presidential nominee. They're trying to figure out the extent to which Hillary will be adored and ego-stroked at the national convention.
If they work all that out, Barnett may even bring up what to do about Hillary's crazy husband, who is still sputtering, spewing and venting.
I'm no millionaire book broker, but I've been thinking about how the Democratic convention in Denver ought to go. I'll throw this out there in case Barack, Hillary and ol' Bob Barnett are listening.
You devote Monday to the Kennedys. You have the 40-year anniversary of Robert's tragic killing. You have Ted's health challenge. You have Caroline inching into politics, to the point of having endorsed Obama and serving on his vice presidential selection squad.
Tuesday night is all Hillary's. You let her and her people have it. She gives a showcase, spotlighted speech. The convention floor regales her in a lengthy demonstration. And so forth.
On Wednesday night her name gets placed in formal nomination. And who gets to do it? Why, her crazy husband himself, old Billy boy. He has some experience with nominating speeches, having bored the nation for Michael Dukakis in 1988. He gets to vent, spew and celebrate himself, his own legacy and his brilliant, wonderful wife.
Then, in a magnanimous gesture, Hillary follows her husband to the podium to hug him, thank him and then, in the interest of saving the very country from McBush, removing her name from the nomination into which her husband just placed it, so that Barack Obama can be nominated by acclamation.
Then she delivers herself the powerful nominating speech for Barack, saying no one could appreciate him more than the one who went to war against him.
Barnett can take credit for this plan if he wishes. It would carry more weight coming from the Beltway than from some incestuous backwater little place.

Classics, Greek and Latin
The goal of the Classics Department is to inform the Monmouth College student body at large about the issues, ideas, culture, and language of the ancient Greeks and Romans, and to illustrate ways in which these civilizations and languages influence and interact with life, thought, and professions in the twenty-first century. The Classics Department offers a personalized, broad, and rigorous program to meet the specific needs of those who wish to major or minor in Latin, Greek, or Classics.
In order to accomplish these objectives, the department offers a wide variety of courses which are designed to serve the needs of all Monmouth College students as well as majors and minors. The spectrum of courses offered includes language, literature, history, mythology, art, sport, urban planning, and other relevant topics.
Courses are offered in a unique triad program. Under this plan students with different types of skills are brought together into a single classroom and study the ancient world from different points of view. For example, some students may read assignments in the original Latin and Greek while others work with English translations. Others may read these assignments in a combination of Latin and English, or in Greek and English. Assignments in Classics courses are designed to take advantage of the unique skills, interests, and background of individual students, who are encouraged to submit their course work not only in the form of traditional term papers and written reports, but also as oral presentations, music, artwork, and websites on the internet.
Department Facilities and Equipment
The Capron Room, a Wallace Hall classroom dedicated to Classics, includes a special collection of classics books and display cases of classical art. The Classics faculty make use of state-of-the-art pedagogical technologies, including the designing of websites for individual courses, and the use of digital presentations and audience response systems in the classroom.
The Hewes Library at Monmouth College possesses a well-rounded collection of classical texts, both in the original Latin and Greek as well as in translation. It also houses a rare plaster cast of the Canopus (Tanis) Stone, a decree from Ptolemaic Egypt written in hieroglyphics, Greek and demotic. We offer many opportunities for students to conduct hands-on learning, both through our frequent trips to Mediterranean countries, and by working directly with the ancient Greek, Roman, and Egyptian artifacts in Monmouth College's Shields Collection of Art and Antiquities. Students interested in archaeology can also take advantage of our courses in Monmouth College's archaeology research lab, which includes an important collection of Native American artifacts from western Illinois.
Off-Campus Programs
Students often participate in the Associated Colleges of the Midwest (ACM) Florence Programs, which afford opportunities to study classical civilization and its influence in Florence, Rome and other European cities. Individual students have also participated in summer programs in Europe. Students also have the opportunity to study as exchange students at The American College of Thessaloniki in Greece.
Departmental Internship
The department employs a number of students in a variety of capacities. Students work as language tutors, student assistants, grade papers and prepare hand outs. They also prepare book displays and assist with departmental mailings.

Check (non-return) valves are installed in pipelines to allow flow in one direction only; helping to protect equipment and processes. The operation, benefits, applications and selection of different designs, including lift, disc, swing and wafer check valves are explained in this tutorial.
Check valves, or non-return valves, are installed in pipeline systems to allow flow in one direction only. They are operated entirely by reaction to the line fluid and therefore do not require any external actuation. In this text, the expected, or desired direction of flow is termed 'forward flow', flow in the opposite direction is 'reverse flow'.
There are a number of reasons for using check valves, which include:
- Protection of any item of equipment that can be affected by reverse flow, such as flowmeters, strainers and control valves.
- To check the pressure surges associated with hydraulic forces, for example, waterhammer. These hydraulic forces can cause a wave of pressure to run up and down pipework until the energy is dissipated.
- Prevention of flooding.
- Prevention of reverse flow on system shutdown.
- Prevention of flow under gravity.
- Relief of vacuum conditions.
Although check valves can effectively shut off reverse flow, they should never be used in place of an isolation valve to contain live steam, in a section of pipe.
As with isolation valves, there are a number of different check valve designs, each suited to specific applications. The different types of check valve and their applications are discussed in this tutorial, along with the correct sizing method.
Lift check valves
Lift check valves are similar in configuration to globe valves, except that the disc or plug is automatically operated. The inlet and outlet ports are separated by a cone shaped plug that rests on a seat typically metal; in some valves, the plug may be held on its seat using a spring. When the flow into the valve is in the forward direction, the pressure of the fluid lifts the cone off its seat, opening the valve. With reverse flow, the cone returns to its seat and is held in place by the reverse flow pressure.
If a metal seat is used, the lift check valve is only suitable for applications where a small amount of leakage, under reverse flow conditions, is acceptable. Furthermore, the design of a lift check valve generally limits its use to water applications, subsequently, they are commonly used to prevent reverse flow of condensate in steam traps and on the outlets of cyclic condensate pumps.
The main advantage of the lift check valve lies in its simplicity, and as the cone is the only moving part, the valve is robust and requires little maintenance. In addition, the use of a metal seat limits the amount of seat wear. The lift check valve has two major limitations; firstly, it is designed only for installation in horizontal pipelines, and secondly, its size is typically limited to DN80, above which, the valve would become too bulky.
The piston-type lift check valve is a modification of the standard lift check valve. It incorporates a piston shaped plug instead of the cone, and a dashpot is applied to this mechanism. The dashpot produces a damping effect during operation, thereby eliminating the damage caused by the frequent operation of the valve, for example, in pipeline systems, which are subject to surges in pressure, or frequent changes in flow direction (one example would be a boiler outlet).
Swing check valves
A swing check valve consists of a flap or disc of the same diameter as the pipe bore, which hangs down in the flow path. With flow in the forwards direction, the pressure of the fluid forces the disc to hinge upwards, allowing flow through the valve. Reverse flow will cause the disc to shut against the seat and stop the fluid going back down the pipe. In the absence of flow, the weight of the flap is responsible for the closure of the valve; however, in some cases, closure may be assisted by the use of a weighted lever. As can be seen from Figure 12.3.2, the whole mechanism is enclosed within a body, which allows the flap to retract out of the flow path.
Swing check valves produce relatively high resistance to flow in the open position, due to the weight of the disc. In addition, they create turbulence, because the flap 'floats' on the fluid stream. This means that there is typically a larger pressure drop across a swing check valve than across other types.
With abrupt changes in flow, the disc can slam against the valve seat, which can cause significant wear of the seat, and generate waterhammer along the pipe system. This can be overcome by fitting a damping mechanism to the disc and by using metal seats to limit the amount of seat wear.
Wafer check valves
Both lift and swing check valves tend to be bulky which limits their size and makes them costly. To overcome this, wafer check valves have been developed. By definition wafer check valves are those that are designed to fit between a set of flanges. This broad definition covers a variety of different designs, including disc check valves and wafer versions of swing or split disc check valves.
Disc check valves
The disc check valve consists of four main components: the body, a disc, a spring and a spring retainer. The disc moves in a plane at right angles to the flow of the fluid, resisted by the spring that is held in place by the retainer. The body is designed to act as an integral centring collar that facilitates installation. Where a 'zero leakage' seal is required, a soft seat can be included.
When the force exerted on the disc by the upstream pressure is greater than the force exerted by the spring, the weight of the disc and any downstream pressure, the disc is forced to lift off its seat, allowing flow through the valve. When the differential pressure across the valve is reduced, the spring forces the disc back onto its seat, closing the valve just before reverse flow occurs. This is shown in Figure 12.3.4. The presence of the spring enables the disc check vale to be installed in any direction.
The differential pressure required to open the check valve is mainly determined by the type of spring used. In addition to the standard spring, there are several spring options available:
- No spring - Used where the differential pressure across the valve is small.
- Nimonic spring - Used in high temperature applications.
- Heavy-duty spring - This increases the required opening pressure. When installed in the boiler feedwater line, it can be used to prevent steam boilers from flooding when they are unpressurised.
As with all wafer check valves, the size of the disc check valve is determined by the size of the associated pipework. This usually ensures that the valve is correctly sized, but there are cases where the valve is over or undersized.
An oversized check valve is often indicated by continuous valve chatter, which is the repeated opening and closing of the valve that occurs when the valve is only partially open. It is caused by the fact that when the valve opens, there is a drop in the upstream pressure; if this pressure drop means that the differential pressure across the valve falls below the required opening pressure, the valve will slam shut. As soon as the valve shuts, the pressure begins to build up again, and so the valve opens and the cycle is repeated.
Oversizing can usually be rectified by selecting a smaller valve, but it should be noted that this will increase the pressure drop across the valve for any one flow. If this is not acceptable, it may be possible to overcome the effects of chatter by reducing the closing force on the disc. This can be done either by using a standard spring instead of a heavy-duty one, or by removing the spring altogether. Another alternative is to use a soft seat; this does not prevent the chatter but rather, reduces the noise. Care must be taken however, as this may cause excessive wear on the seat.
Undersizing results in excessive pressure drop across the valve and, in the extreme, it may even prevent flow. The solution is to replace the undersized valve with a larger one.
Disc check valves are smaller and lighter than lift and standard swing check valves and subsequently cost less. The size of a disc check valve is however limited to DN125; above this, the design becomes complicated. Typically, such a design would include a cone shaped disc and a small diameter spring that is retained and guided along the centre line of the cone, which is more difficult and expensive to manufacture. Even then, such designs are still limited in size to DN250.
Standard disc check valves should not be used on applications where there is heavily pulsating flow, for example, on the outlet of a reciprocating air compressor, as the repeated impact of the disc can lead to failure of the spring retainer and high levels of stress in the spring. Specifically designed retainers are available for such applications. These designs typically reduce the amount of disc travel, which effectively increases the resistance to flow and therefore increases the pressure drop across the valve.
The design of disc check valves allows them to be installed in any position, including vertical pipelines where the fluid flows downwards.
Swing type wafer check valves
These are similar to the standard swing check valves, but do not have the full-bodied arrangement, instead, when the valve opens, the flap is forced into the top of the pipeline. Subsequently, the flap must have a smaller diameter than that of the pipeline, and because of this, the pressure drop across the valve, which is often high for swing type valves, is further increased.
Swing type check valves are used mainly on larger pipeline sizes, typically above DN125, because on smaller pipelines the pressure drop, caused by the disc 'floating' on the fluid stream, becomes significant. Furthermore, there are significant cost savings to be made by using these valves on larger sizes, due to the small amount of material required for the construction of the valve.
There is however one problem with using larger size valves; due to their size, the discs are particularly heavy, and therefore possess a large amount of kinetic energy when they close. This energy is transferred to the seat and process fluid when the valve slams shut, which could cause damage to the seat of the valve and generate waterhammer.
Wafer check valve applications
Wafer check valves are becoming the preferred type of check valve for most applications, due to their compact design and relatively low cost. The following is a list of some of their most common applications:
- Boiler feedlines - The check valve is used to prevent boiler water being forced back along the feedline into the storage tank when the feedpump stops running. Furthermore, a disc check valve with a heavy-duty spring and a soft seat can be fitted in the boiler feedline to prevent flow under gravity into the boiler when the feedpump is shut off.
- Steam traps - Other than with steam traps discharging to atmosphere, check valves should always be inserted after a steam trap to prevent back flow of condensate flooding the steam space. The check valve will also prevent the steam trap from becoming damaged by any hydraulic shock in the condensate line. It should be noted that when using blast discharge type steam traps, the check valve should be fitted at least 1 m downstream of the trap.
- Hot water circuits - A check valve should be installed after each pump to prevent reverse flow through the pump when it has been shut off (see Figure 12.3.8).
- Vacuum breakers - Check valves can be used as vacuum breakers, by fitting them in reverse. When a vacuum is created, the valve opens, allowing air to be drawn in from the atmosphere (see Figure 12.3.9).
- Blending - A check valve should be fitted in each supply line to prevent reverse flow along the different lines which will lead to contamination. A common blending application is the mixing of hot and cold water to provide hot water (see Figure 12.3.10).
- Pipeline fitting protection - Check valves are used to prevent damage to equipment such as flowmeters and control valves, all of which can be damaged by reverse flow. Check valves also stop the contents of strainers from being deposited in upstream pipework by back flowing fluid.
- Multiple boiler applications - A check valve must be inserted on the outlet of each boiler to prevent any steam flowing into boilers, which may be on hot stand-by (see Figure 12.3.11).
- Blowdown vessels - When a blowdown vessel receives blowdown from more than one boiler, a wafer check valve should be installed on each separate blowdown line. This will prevent the blowdown from one boiler flowing back into another boiler. In many countries, this is a statutory requirement.
- Flash vessels - A wafer check valve is installed at the flash steam outlet from the flash vessel; this ensures that steam from any make-up valve does not flow back into the flash vessel (see Figure 12.3.12). A check valve is also installed after the steam trap that drains the flash vessel.
Split disc check valves
The split disc check valve or dual plate check valve is designed to overcome the size and pressure drop limitations of the swing and disc type wafer check valves. The flap of the swing check valve is essentially split and hinged down its centre, such that the two disc plates will only swing in one direction. The disc plates are held against the seat by a torsion spring mounted on the hinge.
In order to hold the hinge in the centre of the flow path, externally mounted retainer pins can be used. These retainer pins are a common source of leakage from the valve. An improved design secures the hinge internally, and as the valve mechanism is entirely sealed within the body, leakage to atmosphere is prevented (see Figure 12.3.13).
The valve is normally closed, as the disc plates are kept shut by the torsion spring. When fluid flows in the forwards direction, the pressure of the fluid causes the disc plates to hinge open, allowing flow. The check valve is closed by the spring as soon as flow ceases, before any reverse flow can occur.
The frequent opening and closing of the split disc check valve would soon cause seat damage if the heels of the disc plates were allowed to scuff against the seat during opening. To overcome this, the heel of the disc plates lift during the initial opening of the valve and the plates rotate purely on the hinge as opposed to the seat face.
The split disc type of check valve has several advantages over other types of check valves:
- The split disc design is not limited in size and these valves have been produced in sizes of up to DN5400.
- The pressure drop across the split disc check valve is significantly lower than across other types.
- They are capable of being used with lower opening pressures.
- Split disc check vales can be installed in any position, including vertical pipelines.
Other check valve types
The above mentioned types of check valve are the most commonly encountered types in steam, condensate, and liquid systems. However, several other types are also available. The three types listed below are mainly suited to liquid applications and subsequently may be found in condensate systems:
- Ball check valve - This consists of a rubber-coated ball that is normally seated on the inlet to the valve, sealing off the inlet. When pressure is exerted on the ball, it is moved off its seat along a guide rail, allowing fluid to pass through the inlet. When the fluid pressure drops, the ball slides back into its position on the inlet seat. Note: Ball check valves are typically only used in liquid systems, as it is difficult to obtain a tight seal using a ball.
- Diaphragm check valve - A flexible rubber diaphragm is placed in a mesh or perforated cone with the point in the direction of flow in the pipeline (see Figure 12.3.15). Flow in the forwards direction deflects the diaphragm inwards, allowing the free passage of the fluid. When there is no flow or a backpressure exists, the diaphragm returns to its original position, closing the valve. Note: The diaphragm material typically limits the application of the diaphragm check valve to fluids below 180°C and 16 bar.
- Tilting disc check valve - This is similar to the swing type check valve, but with the flap pivoted in front of its centre of pressure and counterweighted or spring loaded to assume a normally closed position (see Figure 12.3.16). When flow is in the forwards direction, the disc lifts and 'floats' in the stream offering minimum resistance to flow. The disc is balanced so that as flow decreases, it will pivot towards its closed position, closing before reverse flow actually commences. The operation is smooth and silent under most conditions. Note: due to the design of the tilting disc check valve, it is limited to use on liquid applications only.
Pressure loss charts
As most types of check valve are suitable for use on both liquid and gas systems, manufacturers typically show the pressure drop across a valve in the form of a pressure loss chart for water. A typical pressure loss chart is shown in Figure 12.3.17. It shows the pressure drop across a particular check valve for a given valve size and water flowrate in m/h.
In order to determine the pressure drop across the check valve for other liquids, the equivalent water volume flowrate needs to be calculated, this is done using the formula in Equation 12.3.1:
Once the equivalent water volume flowrate has been determined, the pressure drop across the valve can be read off the chart using the same method as for water, selecting the equivalent water volume flowrate instead of the actual volume flowrate.
It should be noted that the volumetric flowrate (in m/h) is typically quoted for liquid applications, whereas, in steam applications, the mass flowrate (in kg/h) is normally used. To convert from kg/h to m/h, the mass flowrate is multiplied by the specific volume (in kg/m) for the particular working pressure and temperature (see Equation 12.3.2).
Alternatively, if the Kv value of the valve is specified, the pressure drop across the valve can be determined using the method outlined in Tutorial 12.2.
Example 12.3.1
Determine the pressure drop across a DN65 check valve passing 1200 kg/h of saturated steam at 8 bar g. Use the pressure drop characteristics shown in Figure 12.3.17.
The first step is to calculate the volumetric flowrate:
From steam tables at 8 bar gauge g = 0.2149 m³/kg
Using Equation 12.3.2
Using Figure 12.3.18, the pressure drop across the valve would be approximately 0.085 bar.

Kentucky State Police say the single vehicle crash happened on KY 181 overnight Wednesday into Thursday, just after midnight.
Police say 56-year old Sheila Austin of Elkton, KY was driving northbound on KY 181 when she lost control of the vehicle and exited the right shoulder of the roadway. While trying to regain control of the vehicle the driver overcorrected and traveled into the southbound lane. She then overcorrected once again and traveled back off the right shoulder of the roadway. The vehicle overturned as a result.
Austin was not wearing a seatbelt and was ejected from the vehicle. She was pronounced dead at the scene by Todd County Coroner Bob Whittlesey.
Trooper Ben Cox is conducting the investigation. Guthrie Fire Department, Guthrie Police Department, Todd County Sheriff's Office, Todd County EMS, and the Todd County Coroner's Office assisted at the scene.

Arsenal will have the best chance to get over their frustrating Everton defeat in the midweek when they visit Etihad Stadium this Sunday. With both the sides having pretty exciting players, the game is bound to come down to certain duels at various areas of the pitch.
Alexis Sanchez vs Nicolas Otamendi
Arsenal's Chilean forward has been in top form this season scoring 12 goals in his 16 appearances so far. He looks unstoppable against any defence and hardly any defender has looked confident in shutting him out so far. His off the ball movement and work rate has helped him immensely to get the goals and it explains his 6 assists. He will be a major threat for City.
Nicolas Otamendi will perhaps be the man who'll be expected to keep the Chilean under the lid. Otamendi is the only consistent centre back City have at the moment after John Stone's maddening inconsistency. The former Valencia defender has won 23 tackles this season with a success rate of 44%. He has made 36 interceptions, 74 clearances and four blocks.
Raheem Sterling vs Nacho Monreal
Sterling has been petrifying defenders this season so far and Nacho Monreal will have a tough task at hand defending the speedster. The England winger knows the optimal usage of his pace and strength and it has often prevented wing backs covering him to go on the offensive. Sterling has scored four goals this season and has also registered two assists. Along with that pace, he has a shot accuracy of 65%.
Monreal has been brilliant for Arsenal this season and the fierce competition with Kieran Gibbs for the first team spot has somewhat helped as the Englishman ensures Monreal never drops his levels. He is solid at the back and looks quite lethal on the offensive too. Sterling's pace will be a handful for the Spaniard, so he'll have to be wary while making the forward forays.
Francis Coquelin vs Kevin De Bruyne
De Bruyne has undoubtedly been the best playmaker in the league so far. The Belgian can create a brilliant pass out of nothing and alongside David Silva, the former Wolfsburg midfielder has been devastating. He operates with a wide range and tends to move on the wings to provide crosses. He has created a whopping 9 assists so far and Arsenal will need to restrict his movement.
Since his surprise break into the first team, Coquelin has been the first-choice defensive midfielder for Wenger. Ironically, it was a City game two years back that first brought him to the limelight. And he tends to do well against City. However, he has to do way better this time as he will be having an uphill task of marking De Bruyne. He wins 55% of his average duels and has an 81% passing accuracy. He has been a big influence in Arsenal's campaign this season.

Ferrari Enzo
Company founder Enzo Ferrari always felt that design of the road cars should stem from the racers. Therefore, it was entirely logical that the company's latest creation should bear his name. The Enzo, built in a limited run of 399, is an outstanding expression of the concept of extreme sportiness, developed for road use, yet epitomizing the most advanced concepts of Formula 1 racing technology
Ferrari set out to develop the Enzo as an integrated system designed for extreme performance, in which even the limits of the performance achievable by the driver were enhanced, thanks to a man-machine interface typical of Formula 1.
Never before has style been derived so directly from function as in this model. Pininfarina wanted to create an uncompromising car that would break away from the approach used for the GTO, F40 and F50 that preceded it, to develop a new formal language that looked to the future. The engineers tried to create visual links with the world of Formula 1, to which the Enzo owes its technology, while highlighting its compactness and lightness. The result is a complex, sculpted form.
The use of advanced composite materials for the bodywork, with parts made of sandwich panels of carbon fibre and Nomex, allowed the designer to structure the bodyshell while keeping the weight to a minimum, and creating "extreme" stylistic forms.
The front, with its two air intakes for the radiators and a raised central section, is an interpretation of the Formula 1 front section with a small pointed, raised nose and air-intakes under the spoilers in a gull-wing effect. The sides, also benefit from the use of composites, shaped to optimise air-flow with respect to internal fluid dynamics. The large spoiler has been eliminated from the car's rear section which now boasts small aerodynamic appendages and very efficient ground effects.
The engine of the Enzo Ferrari (which is known by its project number F140) is a 12-cylinder aspirated unit in a 65° V, a cylinder capacity of 5,998 cc, with a completely new design that draws on experience gained in Formula 1, and has a number of unique technical features. The cylinder head design reveals its Formula 1 origins: the "pentroof-type" combustion chamber, with four valves per cylinder, plus inlet and exhaust ducts designed to maximise the exhaust coefficients and combustion speed.
The number one goal of the Enzo project was to cut gear change times (down to 150 milliseconds) in the interests of extremely sporty use. The F1 gear levers are made of carbon, with an optimised shape and size, and they have been made symmetrical by transferring the direction indicator controls to the steering wheel spokes. The gear change pushbuttons are mounted on the steering wheel, as are the two different gear change modes, Sport and Race, as well as the reverse gear selector button. Each of these modes comes with its own integrated software controlling damping and traction control systems (ASR.)

Given that only a relative few high school students will continue on to do college-level work in biology, much less become professional biologists, why do you see this as a serious problem?We see two distinct issues here. The first is that students are being cheated out of a sound science education. All nations are increasingly confronted with important policy choices that are informed by science: Should we mandate vaccines for all school children? Should we take costly steps to reduce carbon emissions? How can we most effectively reduce the incidence of chronic diseases? For ordinary citizens to play a meaningful role in democracies tackling these issues, they need to be excellent critical thinkers concerning science. They should not blindly accept scientific findings, whether they come from academia, government or industry. But neither should they believe that scientific debates are simply clashes of opinion and values. A healthy appreciation of the nature of science, the persuasiveness of replication, and respect for the necessary expertise is also essential. When teachers tell their students that they can have their own opinions about the validity of evolutionary biology, they are sending a dangerous message to our future citizens.
I do wish Big Questions Online (BQO) would post more, but they're rather dormant since last summer. But at least when they do post something new, it's usually quite good.

A scientist sends a wireless signal from the laptop to the beetle to start and then stop flight. The beetle, seen in the upper part of the frame, is tethered for practical purposes. The insect is attached to a clear plate, so that its flight pattern can be better observed. An oscilloscope shows the electrical signals as they are delivered: a short oscillating pulse triggers the animal to flap its wings, and it continues flapping until a short single pulse tells it to stop.

Sophies Carrot Cashew Pesto
This rich middle eastern inspired pesto is created by talented Sophie @luckystaranise
Berlin based Sophie works with Human rights and has a taste for the delicious and colorful vegetarian food. She photographs her creations with an eye for beauty and charm. You just want to move in and live her cosy Berlin lifewith her from eyeing her feed. Go follow!
Hi Sophie, I'm a big fan of your food. tell us more about your Instagram feed:
- My instagram has evolved from an outlet to share images from my blog to a journal of the food I make, and, most importantly, a wonderful way to connect with and be inspired by lovely souls from across the globe.
How did you come up with your pesto recipe?
- I usually improvise with whatever can be found in the kitchen, so I decided to use some carrots that were wilting in the fridge and revive them with creamy cashews and some interesting spices such as cinnamon, chili and lemon.
It sounds wonderful. What shall I serve it with?
- I think it's best eaten with crackers or flat bread, on top of some green salad or mixed with pasta.
Here's how to:
Carrot-cashew pesto with middle eastern flavors
1 large or two small carrots
a handful of cashew nuts
1 tablespoon of olive oil
juice of half a lemon
1 teaspoon of activated buckwheat (optional)
½ tsp of dukkah
urfa chili (or other chili flakes) to taste
¼ teaspoon of harissa paste
a pinch of cinnamon
salt to taste
How to:
Cut the carrot(s) into a few manageable pieces, then blend it in a food processor together with the cashews, olive oil, buckwheat, lemon juice, cinnamon and harissa, until you have a smooth paste. Add more olive oil if the paste is too crumbly. Season with the chili, dukkah and salt and mix everything well. Enjoy this pesto as a topping for sandwiches, with pasta, or in salads... (Note: urfa chili is a spice with only mild heat and a nice smoky flavor. It can be replaced with other chilis though, or with a little more harissa.
Note: Dukkah is a mix of spices and nuts. A great recipe can be found on The Kitchn

I just got back from a weekend in Taichung. Five people from my original training group live there so five of us from the Taipei area headed down for a visit. Unfortunately I work until 6:00 on Saturdays so it was a very short weekend, but it was definitely worth the trip.
Saturday night we all went to KTV. For those of you not fortunate enough to have had a KTV experience, I'll explain. KTV is karaoke Taiwan style. A group can rent a private room with microphones and a big screen to play the music videos and all other things required for karaoke, like beer. The videos were ridiculously random things like buildings in Switzerland, birds cleaning themselves, or girls roller skating. After a few hours of that corniness we went to a club for a while.
Sunday we went to the Taichung Botanical Gardens and otherwise just hung out and immersed ourselves in our favorite pastime: complaining about work. More on that in a minute.
I took a train to get there but on the way back we all took the Aloha bus. What an experience. Huge, comfortable, massage chairs, drinks and snacks, blankets, TV… I could get used to traveling that way.
I really liked Taichung. I felt like I could actually breathe there. Many places in the city were attractive and there was even space to walk on the sidewalks most of the time. None of those things are true in Luzhou.
After a month in Taiwan (exactly; I arrived in Taipei on Sept. 1st), I have very conflicted feelings about being here. Going to Taichung and talking to my friends about their experiences isn't what started me thinking about these things, but it certainly intensified it.
I don't know if I like it here. I honestly don't know, and that's strange to me. And if I don't like it, I don't know how severe the problem is. I don't know if what I don't like is entirely related to my job or if it's being here in general. I don't know if there's any action I could take that would make things better. I don't know if any of my concerns are worth worrying about or if I'm just going through mandatory one-month culture shock.
I spent the entire bus ride back going over all the possibilities in my mind and came to the only conclusion I could come to: that I just need to patiently wait and see what happens in the next few months. Too bad I'm about as patient as my kindergarteners. In any case, I may not know a lot of things but I do know that fun plans with friends are the best use of my limited free time. So mission accomplished this weekend. Next up, Canadian Thanksgiving.

BULLITT COUNTY, KY (WAVE) - Thursday marks a somber anniversary for a Kentuckiana family. It has been 10 years since 17-year-old Jessica Dishon disappeared from her Bullitt County home. Although so much time has passed and so much has happened, a decade later, unbelievably, Jessica's parents still don't have the answer they want the most.
"You have your good days and your bad days but I don't think it's ever going to get any better till we find out who done it," said Edna Dishon
They say things fade with time. For Edna and Mike Dishon, the only thing that's faded in 10 years is their belief their daughter Jessica will ever get justice. "I don't have any hope," Edna said.
Their memories of Jessica are as sharp as ever. "Oh, we have lots of memories. I remember going on vacation, and first day of school and I remember the first time he was trying to teach her how to drive and, 'Oh, I know how to do it, I know how to do it,'" said Edna.
So are the events of 10 years ago when Jessica was taken from her driveway, beaten and strangled. "They said there was a struggle," said Edna. "I don't know if they hit her. They said she had a blunt object to her face, so I guess they must of hit her and knocked her out."
Jessica was found 17 days later in the woods seven miles from her home. Those are the facts the Dishons know. What they don't know, even 10 years later, is who did it. Mike Dishon is not sure if they ever will.
A trial for the man arrested, neighbor David "Bucky" Brooks, ended in a mistrial. The state then dismissed the charges for lack of evidence, but the Dishons said they have their suspicions. "We do and it's the same person that we've said from the beginning, but without any evidence, what can be done?" Edna said.
Those questions are all they are left, that and their now-faded hope somehow, some day, they will be answered. "My mom and dad both went to their grave and we'll probably both gonna to go to our grave too unless some miracle happened," said Edna. "Someone just said, 'Well I did it or I saw them do it.'"
Edna said she and her family still get strange looks when out in public when people recognize them. In some ways, Edna says it is a good thing because she knows then that Jessica's story hasn't been forgotten.
The Dishons will hold a candlelight vigil at her grave Thursday night at 7 p.m. to remember Jessica. The public is invited.

Philadelphia Union (9-6-7, 34 points) defeated Vancouver Whitecaps FC, 1-0 at BC Place on Saturday night behind an 85th minute goal from Antoine Hoppenot.
The victory marks the first time Vancouver has lost at home this year in MLS play.
"That was a really, really big win for us against a very good team," said Union manager John Hackworth. "They were really good even when they went down a man. For us to hang in there for a little while and pull one out is great."
Hoppenot provided the game winner, but the game took a change early when Vancouver went down a man in the eighth minute, as Juan Marques Davidson was sent off for a head butt on Keon Daniel. Daniel went in for a challenge on the Vancouver midfielder, but after being whistled for a foul, Davidson slammed his head into the back of Daniel and was shown a straight red.
Watch: Wheeler, Hoppenot link to seal Union win over Whitecaps
Despite the man advantage, both teams went scoreless into the break for halftime.
"I was impressed with Vancouver; they didn't change their formation, they kept attacking and they put a lot of energy in that," Hackworth said. "So we knew that if we were patient and possessed the ball and created some opportunities, we were hoping one would eventually come and it did."
Vancouver subbed in rookie forward Kekuta Manneh in favor of Kenny Miller early in the second half, with the change almost paying immediate dividends for the home side. Manneh raced in behind the Union defense and fired a shot just past and outstretched MacMath, but his effort clanged the post and bounced back into the Union goalkeeper's hands. MacMath made several big saves in the second half, finishing the night with five total.
With still scoreless later in the second half, Hackworth subbed in Hoppenot, Aaron Wheeler and Fabinho, with those decisions proving to be a key part in the victory. Wheeler eventually provided the game-winning assist to Hoppenot, who buried a ball past Knighton to give the team all three points on the road.
"Good players make coaches look good sometimes, and [Hoppenot] certainly did that," Hackworth said. "I thought Aaron Wheeler came on and did a great job and I thought Fabinho came on and did a great job. We're a team that way; every time we bring a guy off the bench, they have contributed this year. Once again, that was the case today."
Wheeler and Hoppenot combined for a great play on the edge of Vancouver's box, as Wheeler flicked back a pass to an oncoming Hoppenot, who took one touch and then fired a left-footed shot into the net to score his third of the season.
"Wheeler played me a good ball and I was through," Hoppenot said of the goal. "The ball was bouncing, and all I had to do was put it into the back of the net. Most of the work was done by Wheeler, so you've got to thank him for that goal."
The Union were able to drain the clock for the remainder of the game with sustain bits of possession and walk away with three points on the road.
"For us to be able to get wins against the top teams in MLS, it gives us the confidence to know that we can later on in the year," Hoppenot said.
The Union look ahead to the a home match at PPL Park against an Eastern Conference foe in Chicago Fire next Saturday (8 p.m., CSN) but first, prepare for an international friendly against English side Stoke City FC on Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. at PPL Park.

Choose small, pull-behind campers according to affordability, convenience and your vehicle's towing capability. Depending upon their size, pull-behind campers generally must be towed by a car, truck or SUV.
The most popular and towable pull-behind campers are pop-up campers. Their lightweight construction makes them inexpensive, easy to use and easy to tow .
Most pull-behind campers are small for fuel economy and towing ease. However, they must be connected to a septic tank at campsites because they lack a freshwater tank and a septic tank.
The smallest pull-behind trailers are motorcycle trailers or small travel trailers that can be pulled by a motorcycle or a bicycle. They usually have an aerodynamic design and are not much heavier than a tent. They are fuel-efficient and equipped with a comfortable sleeping area, awnings and a cooking area.
Teardrop trailers are shaped like a teardrop; they are fuel-efficient and aerodynamic. There is enough space for two people inside.
The most expensive and luxurious pull-behind trailers are known as fifth wheels. Because they are typically equipped with sleeping areas with a queen-sized bed, a full kitchen, a toilet and large storage spaces, they are the heaviest campers. They require a truck for towing. While they are not fuel-efficient, they provide the comforts of home.

Nurses: Avoid negative consequences of over-washing hands
Shared by:
As a nurse, regularly washing your hands is unavoidable and could result in skin damage. Here are some tips to improve your dry hands.

I don't know how many times I wash my hands in a day as it is quite countless. Aside from washing my hands for procedures, though at times I use sterilium instead, I wash my hands every in between seeing patients. On the note of washing hands between patients I also arrange my patients in a way that I see the most infectious one last and the most prone to infection first or those with low to no risk for infection. My hand definitely need a good moisturizer. I just tend to forget to do so at ...

Hand washing is truly unavoidable when you're in the health care profession, especially if you get in contact with patients almost every moment of the day. While we could neglect our skin due to very hectic schedules, its also good to take time to nourish hardworking hands. For some, like me, lotion may not be a very effective moisturizer, so I usually choose thicker formulations like salves and body butters that are especially formulated to moisten the thicker skin of the hands. I prefer natura...

Good hand hygiene, regular hand washing from patient to patient is very important to prevent the spreading of hospital acquired infections among the patients. Sometime, we do use the alcohol based hand sanitizer as well. I would agree that excessive hand washing without proper protection of our hands may cause some skin damage. A good hand lotion will be the best way to prevent skin damage by moisturising the hand. I would say most of the healthcare settling do have a lot of hand lotion, togethe...

DRUG AND ALCOHOL DEPENDENCE, vol. 46, n° 1-2, 1997, pages 53-67, 35 réf., ISSN 0376-8716, IRL
Department of Psychiatry. Columbia University. New York NY. USA, New York State Psychiatry Institute. New York. USA
The association between levels of marijuana use and last year dependence is investigated in a nationally representative sample of adolescents and adults, who used marijuana within the last year (n=9284).
Data are aggregated from three surveys (1991-1993) of the National Household Survey on Drug Abuse.
A proxy measure of DSM-IV dependence criteria was developed from self-reported symptoms of dependence and drug-related problems.
Both frequency and quantity of marijuana use within the last year are linearly associated with the logit of the probability of being dependent on marijuana.
The associations vary significantly by age but not gender.
Adolescents are dependent at a lower frequency and quantity of use than adults : the differences diverge as level of use increases.
Twice as many adolescents as adults who used marijuana near-daily or daily within the last year were identified as being dependent (35% versus 18%). Frequency and quantity of use each retained a unique effect on dependence, but frequency appeared to be more important than quantity in predicting last year dependence.
These results provide insight into the processes underlying the age and sex differentials observed in the prevalence of marijuana dependence.
The implications of the findings for the epidemiology of marijuana use and dependence are discussed.

The Government of Newfoundland and Labrador announced its commitment to construct a new acute care regional hospital in Corner Brook. The new regional hospital will include the same services as available at Western Memorial Regional Hospital, as well as an expanded cancer care program, which will include radiation services.
A Request for Proposals for a Procurement Advisor, issued February 17, is the first step in the implementation of the acute care hospital project. The hospital will be designed, built, financed and maintained by the private sector. Services such as patient care, laundry, housekeeping and food services will be provided by public sector employees as is currently the case.
"While it is critical that we provide needed health care facilities, it is equally important that we do so in a cost-effective manner, attaining the greatest value for taxpayers' dollars," said Al Hawkins, minister of transportation and works. "Both the acute care hospital and the long-term care facility in Corner Brook are examples of how we are finding more innovative and effective ways to deliver services."
The new acute care regional hospital will be approximately 50,000 square metres and will include 164 acute care beds. This is in addition to the new 145 bed facility that will begin construction later this year and include 120 long-term care, 15 palliative care and 10 rehabilitative beds on the campus for a total of 309 beds.
Construction of the new acute care regional hospital is scheduled to begin in 2019 with the facility to be completed in 2023.

The prevention of pressure sores in nursing homes is possible by turning the patient every two hours and keeping the area dry if the patient soils himself, according to the American Cancer Society. After a patients soils himself, the nursing home must clean the area, apply ointment and sprinkle cornstarch on top of the ointment.
Another thing that a nursing home must do to prevent bed sores is to keep the sheets tight to prevent wrinkling, explains the American Cancer Society. The head of the bed must also sit at a 30-degree angle or less. To reduce friction between the skin and the sheet, a nursing home can sprinkle cornstarch on the sheet. The nursing home should also check the patient's sides and back each day to ensure that the skin looks as it should, and they must pay attention to high-pressure areas such as hipbones, tailbones, heels, ankles and elbows.
If there is a pressure area that is forming but has not yet become a sore, nursing home staff can use pillows to prop the patient up to relieve the pressure on those areas. If the patient cannot stay in this position on his own, foam wedges can be used to support the body weight, notes the American Cancer Society.
