  1. Yeah I'd go to pep or fwp and see if they'll get you sub names.  Pool plumbers will do the gas.  Probably Pep (pool electrical products) is probably best bet for pool electrician.  

    From the subs you hire you can probably get recommendations for gunite, tile/coping and deck.  Sorry you had issues with your original contractor

  2. Ok I'm not even gonna ask....

    If you just need gas run get the phone book.  There's nothing special.  Yellow pages.

    So is your pool already through stub out and long plumb?  If yes, they should have done the gas as well -.call them first.  If not, call a local distributor (SCP, SPP, PEP, FWP) and beg for a recommendation.  

    Electric depends on automation.  Fuck it.  Ask one of the above for your area.  Probably PEP is best.  they have a tight relationships with plumb and electric.

    Good luck

    Perhaps, but almost everything I'm relaying is second hand.  I've seen a screen cap or two.  They're unsettling.  On their own?  Maybe not too bad, but she didn't capture everything and has told me what else he said.

    APD came by my house within an hour or so of AISD notifying them.  They were supposed to get in touch with me first, but didn't, and I was at work, so they spoke with my son who hadn't the foggiest what was going on.  I'm sure that was helpful.  Obviously, law enforcement thinks it's worth exploring.  I'm still trying to get back in touch with APD, which . . . well, that's not surprising.

    Any updates?

    The problem with Mack is that in HS (and during his first season at aggy) he was just a shoot the gap player with good size and a great first step who tried to anticipate the snap count.  Once the word was out on his play style he never adjusted and learned to use his hands and move on the ball.

    So he's learned nothing in his 3+ years in howdyland?

    Seems about right.

    I've never seriously considered what I'm about to type, but after looking at all of the existing data and the trends, why is it absurd to think that perhaps the Arizona schools would join the Big 12? I think they'd be a positive net addition to the conference, and the travel involving them, frankly, isn't problematic. I'm sure they've got all kinds of bizarre allegiances to the west coast at this point, but the money disparity is pretty significant. 

    I've long viewed the Big 12 as a dead conference that was playing out a string, but adding AU, ASU, CU and Utah wouldn't be the worst course of action. Throw in BYU and throw out Baylor and you've suddenly got a really interesting middle of the country conference with strong brands and damned good football with a sprinkling of quality in the other sports as well. 

    Whatever. It's all fantasy as long as we're stuck in this GOR shit. Fun to ponder in a non-realignment thread of doom, also.

    Add the AZ schools, Colorado and Utah if and only if the revenue increases by current payout per school ++.  Would have to be north of 140mm I guess

    I've got a Leslie's a half mile from the house but I can't figure out from their website what sand they carry. Looking for #20 silica. Anyone bought from them or know what they carry?

    Leslie's, home Depot.  Just make sure it's #20 silica.  And check filter specs to see if there's recommendation for gravel to cover the laterals.  Speaking of which, empty the filter prior to buying the sand and inspect the laterals to make sure they're in good shape.  Save a trip

    I'm just saying you're focused on one side of the issue. If the fetus is viable at an earlier stage then the loss of a pregnancy at x weeks is more significant. You argued that with a focus on viability, at a certain point, no abortion should be permitted, so that shows viability cannot be the correct measure because morality cannot shift with science. But that ignores the woman. The truth is the morality question is a matter of balancing the rights of the mother with that of whatever value is placed on the fetus. Science can advance one side of the equation but
    , regardless of the viability point, the mother maintains rights over her body. How you reconcile the two is the morality/ethical judgement and doesn't change with science.

    Are you proposing an either/or scenario?  That's different than what I was speaking to.  

    Your argument seems boil down to that the fetus is dependant (at this point in time and it won't matter in the future) on the mother's aquiescence.  But realistically all newborns are dependant on their caregivers......where does that leave us?

    Exactly, that's where the rights conflict and what I've proposed is already a massive compromise on the woman's rights parts. I'm trying to propose something practical, but ultimately, it's not my place. I can never be faced with that decision. When it comes down to it, abortion rights should be collectively decided by women and scientific consensus and the rest of us should stay out of it. 

    And where I uncomfortably end up.  I don't necessarily agree that it's "right" but it's "right" right now...

    So if "viability" is a function of science and we're making these decisions that have ethical implications based on the current state of science.... where does that leave us?  I think we can agree that at point X in time science will allow conception come to a child.  Are we "wrong" at this point in time to allow that conception to be terminated?  Because we are limited by today's science?  Is it purely a pragmatic decision?
     
     

    That pragmatism is focused on the fetus. What about the woman?

    Expand on that.  The woman is still alive postpartum?  I've left out the child/mother issue.  That's a different decision.  I'm not saying it's trivial, just a separate discussion.

    There's going to be a pretty firm cap on it for a while, but as viability changes, I'm open to moving the induced and adopted program forward to match it.

    If I'm not coming out of it, yes. My family has been repeatedly instructed that they are to pull the plug. 

    If i can be kept alive on a machine and get better, then do that. It's exactly the same position as putting a viable fetus into an incubator. 

    Fair enough.  But a viable Pod/pool is different today than it was 20 years ago or will be in 20 years.Does this change the morality/ethics of the decision?

    A heartbeat and brain function are necessary, but not sufficient for a fetus to be viable, so they are irrelevant to the discussion. 

    So if you were in a coma with a heart beat and brain function but on life support... Can we extinct you?

  13. This is an obscenely horrible topic so why not take it to the nth degree.  

    I'm generally pro-life.  Two kids I hope one day attend UT as I did.

    Your wife is raped and becomes pregnant... 6-7 weeks later there is a heartbeat.... Is an abortion an option?

    If it is an option at that point in the case of rape, are other instances precluded?

  14. If you have a ton of trees dropping leaves I would consider.  Otherwise I would avoid.  Most systems were designed and manufactured based on Arizona environment- dust and small debris.  They were bulked up for other markets.  

    Get a 280 or robotic.  You'll spend a ton less money with little noticeable difference.  

    If builder is trying to sell you on water movement/chemical distribution there are cheaper ways to achieve this without putting an extra 100+ feet of pvc under your pool.

  15. Houston has a phenomenal softball pool of talent.  I know a number of former D1 players who coach in and around and when they talk about aspirations for their kids, Texas is never in the conversation.  Hopefully this will change.
