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.

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.

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.
