Read This Plumbing Disaster Story

This guy screws up bad installing his water softener system. Sounds like a real cluster for sure.

So we replaced all the carpet in our basement suite last month. Looked great and we even re-painted the room. Just in time for my parent’s visit 2 weeks later. I looked at the job with great pride knowing I did it all myself.

All good until I decided I should replace our old water softener system with a brand new water softener system. Our water softener is an ancient old system that was leaking and had chemical damage through the core.

I disconnected the hoses, turned off the water, and got ready to take it apart and chuck it out. All fine. I took great attention to cleaning up all the lines, hoses, connections etc. After I had it all installed I filled it with softener salt, and turned on the taps.

I let my wife know that is was all going fine, and she thanked me with great affection. We went out shopping and went to Canadian Tire for some more household improvement “stuff”. When I went walking past the hard-ware aisle, and passed by some water hoses. I gasped, and ran back to my wife in the gardening section.

We got home as soon as we could. I ran downstairs and the damage was done. There was water everywhere. The spare room was COMPLETELY flooded and the new carpet was under water. The water softener was bone dry and the floor was soaked. What a huge MESS!!!

Took two weeks to dry everything, but the carpet is pretty well ruined. Lesson learned and a price of an education. 

Is Toppik Hair Treatment a Scam

There seems to be dozens of new hair loss scams on the market every year. Online and offline. There has been allot of buzz about Toppik hair loss treatments, and if they really work or not. Zulit.com has been the looking into this, and this the post on the question of Toppik Hair Loss Scams.  

Cheap Tactical Fighting Knives

City folk from all walks of life are turning in droves to the latest high tech survival knife designs. Compact and easily concealed, ergonomically shaped, offering a simple one-hand flick to instantly reveal a potentially lethal blade, the new breed of pocket knives deliver lethal potentials to whomever ends up on the wrong side of the handle.

Brands And Prices
Most of the major brands produce designs in the tactical pocket knife segment, producing annual sales of over $1 billion. Entry knives in this segment can cost $20 whereas some brands are priced at $140 or more. Major manufacturers and their online or bricks-and-mortar distributors include Leatherman, Case, Cold Steel, Buck, Benchmade, Masters Of Defense and others.

Legal Issues - Virtually Unregulated
State and city laws remain uneven, so the expanding market for tactical pocket knives will continue to be de facto unregulated. Individual cities like Atlanta have a 2 inch blade legal limit, but that hasn't prevented "legally permitted" tactical knives to become the weapon-of-choices in well publicized homicide investigations.

When Does A Tactical Knife Become An Outlawed Weapon Like Switchblades?
Like knife designs, supporting laws are complex and define restrictions yet offer opportunities for designers to enter "loophole" areas. A ¾ ounce tactical knife requires the tiniest of "manual" movement in order to release its 1 ½ inch perforated blade. A switchblade, even while opening slower than the legal unregulated tactical knives, is narrowly defined in earlier 1950's law as a weapon requiring a trigger-button design element. Push the button and the blade springs to open positions, hence the name switchblade.

Design And Use Origins - Tactical Pocket Knives
No mistaking that the origins of 21st century pocket tactical knives lies in the combat armaments design tradition. Key attributes? Light weight, ease of concealment, blade length with optional serrated edge or perforated finish in order to convey maximum damage.

One Hand Operation
While law enforcement officials view any knife as a crime-in-waiting, people hiking, swimming, boating, making temporary in-field repairs to gear all appreciate ease-of-use. One hand operation for opening and closing allows quick-fix jobs to be completed safely. And, yes, self defense may require that once-in-a-lifetime response need where you're being attacked and you can only use one hand to locate and then engage your tactical knife against some bad guy.

Tactical Pocket Knives - Weight And Length
Ergonomic handle plus blade typically measure 4 inches or less while weighing in at around 6 ounces or less. Blades are offered in steel, light weight titanium, straight edge or serrated edge. There are even plastic assisted opening knives that are easy to conceal, yet offer cutting performance equal to the job of cutting meat or even light wood.

Until either broad based umbrella Federal laws come into effect, tactical pocket knives will have virtually open running room to design and sell all sorts of knock-off miniaturized combat knives parading as in-the-pocket tool and self defense "aids".

Compare performance, different sizes and major brands of combat knives, tactical pocket knives for the outdoor or survival needs you anticipate. Tactical Fighting Knives @ http://www.wise4living.com/olknives/tactical.htm

Informative Piece On Thinning Hair Solutions

This is a very informative piece on hair loss and thinning hair prevention. Worth the read for sure.

Article

Hair loss and male-pattern baldness is an affliction suffered by thousands of men, and can be a real source of insecurity and embarrassment for those not ready to lose their hair or shave their head. Even worse, and more devastating are the younger cases where the hair loss process begins long before a man even reaches his thirtieth birthday. So what are your options if you are one of these men, uncontrollably losing your hair before your time?

Well, you can do what many others do – shave your head for the sake of uniformity. Lots of men look great with a shaved head – it just fits their personality and style, and they seem comfortable that way. For those unwilling to give up on their hair, there are hairpieces or plugs, neither of which have been perfected to the point of being undetectable, and both having a societal stigma as being somewhat tacky and undesirable.

The other option, of course, is to try one of the hair loss products that several reputable manufacturers now offer, both in prescription and nonprescription form. While there is still no “magic pill” that can unflinchingly promise every man (and woman) who takes it will re-grow their hair, there are some very promising and effective hair loss products and treatments currently on the market and also in development.

Propecia, Rogaine (Monoxadil), Avacor and Proxiphen are just a few of the top prescription and nonprescription hair loss products on the market today, and they’ve all had varying degrees of success in re-growing their client’s hair. Since the demand for hair loss products is so great, there have been many non-prescription hair loss alternatives recently introduced in an effort to offer men (and women) a more economical and convenient alternative to re-grow hair and prevent further hair loss.

There are also several vitamins that have been specially formulated both for thinning hair and to promote the speedy growth of healthy, shiny hair. Vitamins for thinning hair and faster hair growth and re-growth are usually a varying combination of several key amino acids, biotin, vitamins B6 and E, and zinc. Many who take vitamins of this nature do report thicker, more lustrous and healthy hair, but if your goal is to actually re-grow hair and not just thicken thinning hair, then you would probably want to consider a more serious hair loss supplement or treatment that specifically targets balding and hair loss.

Here's a little tip to help stimulate hair growth – massage the scalp. This is an age-old hairstylist tip to help stimulate the hair follicles, unclog any blocked oil glands in the scalp, and help promote a healthy scalp and new, healthy hair growth. Plus, it’s relaxing and it feels good, so it’s not such a chore!

Hair loss supplements can range from pricey to reasonable, tested and untested, and clinically proven vs. not clinically proven. You have to use good judgment and do a little homework on the internet, or by reading consumer reviews, testimonials and surveys to see what really should work best for your situation. Some even offer money back guarantees or some sort or money back for unused portions.

Now, let’s talk about being proactive in preventing future hair loss. Many times, the underlying cause for premature hair loss and male pattern balding is hereditary, but it can also be brought on by a hormonal imbalance of the male or female hormones, known as androgens and estrogens. Correcting a hormonal imbalance many times can stop hair loss. This example can be seen in women who notice hair loss shortly after they’ve had a baby. The cause for this is a drop in hormones that kept much more hair on the head than normal during pregnancy because the levels of this hormone are unusually high at this time.

Some medications can also cause or aggravate hair loss. Typically these medications are blood thinners, gout medication, chemotherapy medications for cancer, too much vitamin A, birth control pills and antidepressants. Avoid tight or “pulling” hairstyles like high or tight ponytails and cornrows, and also stay away from harsh chemical treatments such as perms and other potentially volatile, damaging hair treatments.

Typical hair loss treatments, prescription and nonprescription, usually take about six months before you can tell they are working, so patience is a must. There is no overnight fix to hair loss unfortunately. As long as you are comfortable with your chosen hair loss remedy, and have planned a preventative and maintenance course of action, that’s really all that matters.

OJ Simpson Gets Silii Dork Award

Pretty pathetic if you ask me, and this post is spot on. This guy is way off balance, and if he really had a soul he stay out of sight in honor of the families who lost Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown. 

OJ Simpson surely needs a Silii Dork Award, and here it is. I agree that his ego is way out of control as usual.  

How To Choose Rifle Scopes Online

How To Choose Rifle Scopes Online 

The task of choosing a new rifle scope isn't the easiest thing in the whole world. Over the last few years there have been so many new scopes released to the market it can make choosing a new one very, very tough. Each new scope claims to be superior to all other scopes in terms of precision and accuracy. On top of that a good rifle scope doesn't come cheap - many of them are several hundred dollars. Just remember a high price tag does not always equal a high quality scope. There are some simple tips you can follow to avoid being taken for a ride when buying your new scope.

Always be on the lookout for slick advertising when it comes to making a purchase. That glossy cover photo on the magazine says nothing about the actual product itself. Always read the fine print in the sales material before making any decision. Watch for accurate comparisons when you're reading any scope reviews or scope tests. Just like you can’t compare an apple with an orange and get an accurate comparison you definitely can’t compare a 32mm objective lens scope with a 50mm variable power scope and get an accurate idea of whether one is necessarily better than the other. Look for scopes that are comparably reviewed based on price, objective size, intended use and power range - these are critical factors.

A key item on any scope shopping list should be the warranty itself. Never assume that all warranties are created equal - this is so very far from the truth. Most scopes come with what's called a limited life warranty but make absolutely certain that you know exactly what is covered by this type of warranty in case something does go wrong (which eventually it will). Also check exactly how long the warranty is and whether or not you need to be the original scope owner in order to be covered by the scope warranty itself.

It's also worth paying attention to the amount of internal adjustment that a scope can offer. Most people don't think about this until after the purchase and are then disappointed. Also look at the type of rifle you're going to fit the scope to. For example, if your rifle is particularly hard to mount, you may find yourself in a situation in which you don’t have nearly the amount of range that you thought you did. When you’re not able to mount the scope straight on, you lose a lot of range. Look for scopes that provide a wealth of adjustment, preferably at least 60 inches or more.

Last but not least don't forget to seriously consider the actual assembly of the scope body itself. Bear in mind that your scope is most likely going to be subjected to rough treatment on a regular basis. Taking the time to take this into consideration now will serve you well and save you money later on.

If you want your rifle to be truly complete then look for tactical rifle scopes online for great deals. You can find more information on rifle scopes and discount rifle scopes @ ScopesGuide dot com.

Silii Dork Award For Chris Crocker

Chris Crocker makes Yahoo! and now the Silii Dork awards. His last video to make a splash and even make it on the front page of Yahoo! was regarding the Britney Spears 2007 MTV performance disaster. 

Watch this video with the sound off because it’s REALLY annoying. My prediction is he’ll make a hollywood career from his Internet video. One more hollywood production I won’t be watching. Probably see a reality show for Chris Tucker as well.

You will find that Chris spends allot of time praising his gay lifestyle, and defending himself against people dislike him. His need for attention is going to manifest attention. The question he’ll have to answer is if he really wants the kind of attention he’s been getting.  

 

 

Leave Britney Spears Alone– By Chris Crocker

Thieves Taste Justice and It's Funny

This is a fairly new one in the blogosphere. Just had to laugh myself to tears reading it.

This summer my wife and I went on holidays to Alaska. Took our brand new RV for a test run and all was well. About two weeks into the trip we got a call from our daughter with some bad news. Our house had been broken in to, and we had been robbed. Of course that put a damper on things for a few days, but the police were on it, and we knew our home insurance would cover the loss. The only thing we were sad about was my wife’s engagement ring, and my expensive antique wrist watch collection.

The engagement ring was priceless to us, and the watch collection would be impossible to replace. I asked my son to run down to the pawn shops and take a quick look around to see if he could spot some of my watches or his mom’s engagement ring under glass. He did this, being the good son that he is.

Two days later I got a surprise phone call from my daughter Julie saying that my son Matt had some surprising news. He had been cruising the pawn shops looking for our jewellery, when he actually spotted a young woman wearing an exotic engagement ring similar to his Mom’s (it’s a very special engagement ring, with an extremely setting, and band)

He saw her sitting in a car in front of a local pawn shop. He’s a pretty smooth operator, so he asked her for a light on his cigarette, and started chatting with her. As he was talking to her he took a good look at the ring to make sure he was certain it was my wife’s ring. As he was doing that he looked in the back seat and noticed a bag as well. He assumed the bag was likely to have other hot items in it. 

Not knowing what to do he just kept the conversation very short, and thanked her for the light of his cigarette. Just as he was leaving, the girl in the car was waved into the pawn shop by a guy in the doorway. She got up and ran inside. My son, who was by now 40 feet down the sidewalk, doubled back to see if she remembered to lock her door. She didn’t.

Matt opened the car door, quickly opened the bag, and saw various items, and he recognized some of my antique watches in the bag. He especially noticed my display box, and now he knew that was his mother’s engagement ring on the girl’s finger. He grabbed the bag, and ducked away. Then it gets better.

Matt walked back to his car, and drove around the block. He parked again where he could see the car which now had the girl and guy sitting in it having an “animated discussion”. It was obvious that they were distressed about the missing bag of goodies from their back-seat. Eventually they drove away, and Matt followed them.

They drove about 7 miles to the other side of town, and Matt kept his distance. They pulled into a driveway, and got out of the car. They were still arguing loudly, as Matt watched on from down the road. By this time Matt had called a few of his friends to tell him about his adventure. They cooked up a scheme, whereby his friends would back their truck into the thieves driveway like they were just using their driveway to turn around. They would lightly bump into their car, and then be the good citizens and go to their door to let them know of the small fender bender. Sounds clever right.

Within minutes Matt’s three buddies showed up with their beat up pickup truck that one of them used for work. They backed the truck up into the driveway as planned, but they were a little too heavy on the gas pedal. They completely caved in the back-end of the small compact car. The impact made enough noise to bring the unfortunate thieves running out of the house. The guy came first, and the girl came after. The fella was losing it – swearing at the top of his lungs, and at one point said,

“This day couldn’t get any worse!!!!”  

Matt’s friends continued to play along with the story, that they were just using their driveway to turn around in. They apologized and asked to trade information for insurance, but for some reason the thieves didn’t want anything to do with the police, or insurance companies.

As the guy thief became very angry, Matt’s friends began to get annoyed with his level of obnoxious noise. They grabbed him, forced him to the ground, took his wallet, his keys, and his cell phone. The girl came after the boys, one of them took her arm and twisted it behind her back. While they had her arm behind her back, they ripped off the engagement ring from her finger taking some skin with it in the process. By the time the boys were done with our unfortunate thieves, they with pretty banged up and upset. They ran back in their house while at the same time screaming out profanities, and threats of revenge.

The boys jumped in the truck, slammed it into reverse, and finished caving in their car a few more times. They drove off and met Matt and our daughter at her apartment. She took all of my watches, and my wife’s engagement ring (after removing the skin from it….yecchhh) and put it back in our house. 

Matt, and his two friends went to the ball-game that night and had a great time re-living the exciting events. Laughter was abundant, but I was not happy to hear that they had even approached these unfortunate thieves. A simple license plate number and address would have sufficed.

Anyway, we got our stuff back, and couple of young thieves had a REALLY bad day.

P.S. – the police contacted us a couple of weeks later to let us know that they had no news regarding our stolen property. I told the police that we were not worried about it any longer, and we told the insurance company that our stuff was just cheap and replaceable. We have not recieved a check from them yet.   

 

Siemens Hearing Aids Winner

Had to get hearing aids for my grandmother a week ago (again). She’s really deaf now, but all the hearing aids she has tried have failed. They have nasty feed-back problems, or they’re just plain uncomfortable.

Last try she tested the Siemens hearing aids, and so far they have been the clear winner. Below is some basic information on Siemens hearing aids.
