My Nonprofit Reviews
Bob K
Review for iCast International Center for Appropriate & Sustainable Technology, Lakewood, CO, USA
Design (EPICS) has worked with iCAST since I was Director of the programs. They have provide outstanding projects in a variety of arena. These projects have provided our students with engineering challenges, the opportunity to be creative and innovative and projects that require an analytical experience consistent with their level of studies at Mines. More important, as clients, Ravi and his staff has introduced the students to working with a client and have provided the mentoring they need to develop both the technical and communications skills they will carry into their careers. A very special thank you to the iCAST staff.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
Our experience with iCAST has been primarily in the classroom. The projects, however, take the students into the field and give them an opportunity to work with the customer as well.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
I would like to see the organization cloned. It is important to get the quality interactions and mentoring that the iCAST staff provides to the students. They and their customers expect a qualtiy product and this motivates the design teams. The support and authentic analytical demands of the projects give the students the exposure to engineering that drives their education. I work with three organizations of this quality but could use the services of several more like iCAST

I've searched through every possible means I have, key words, app store history, cropped images and I've had no luck what so ever. (Attached an image below, this is the only one I have since I thought it was pretty funny at the time and took a screen shot of it) It was strategy/turn based game with mechs and I think had the title of "War of .... " or "Battle of ....", but I can't find the last word for the title. Sorry If this is the wrong place to post, but any help would be greatly appreciated >.<

What is Grappa?
Grappa is an Italian alcohol which is made by distilling pomace, the leftovers of winemaking. The name grappa is in fact a reference to this, as it means "grape stems" in an Italian dialect. Many winemaking nations have their own versions of grappa, and these drinks tend to be very strong, fiery, and incredibly diverse. Grappa is probably most similar to brandy. Many Italian importers carry an array of grappa, and it can also be found stocked at some large markets.
This alcohol is classified as a pomace wine, referencing the fact that it is extracted from pomace. Pomace is the organic material left over after grapes are pressed into juice for fermentation. A typical batch of pomace includes grape skins, seeds, stems, and sometimes a few leaves as well. Grappa is made by heating the pomace, causing it to produce steam, and then forcing the steam through a distillation column.
Freshly distilled grappa is colorless, with a strong odor of alcohol, and the alcohol content can vary from around 40 to 80% alcohol by volume. While grappa can be drunk fresh, most people like to age it, and the finest Italian grappas are aged in wood, sometimes for extended periods of time. As grappa is aged in wood, it will acquire a warm honey color and a complex flavor. Just like wines, grappas taste very different, depending on where they come from, the grapes used, and the skill of the distiller.
Grappa is traditionally served at a cool temperature, with many people erring on the side of serving it too cold, because it can always be warmed with the hands until it releases its rich aroma. Typically, grappa is offered in a tulip shaped glass, and it may be drunk alone, or consumed with fruits, cheeses, and desserts. This beverage is typically served after a meal as a digestivo, in Italian parlance.
One famous usage of grappa is in the Italian cafe coretto, "corrected coffee," an espresso served with grappa, either on the side or blended into the coffee. When grappa and espresso are served separately, the custom is to finish the coffee and follow with the grappa, and some people like to pour a few drops into the empty espresso cup, swirl them around, and then drink from the cup.

He's a wonderful person , he's my age and I would like to know , is it allowed for soldiers to take something from home when they leave? If so what do you suggest? I'm going to see him in a couple of days and I would like to get some things for him but I do not know what they allow him to take. If nothing , then I will just send him a care package, I'm planning on doing that anyway, but I wanted to know from you, since I really don't have any experience with this. Thanks in advance.

Hyderabad, India (PressExposure) September 14, 2009 -- IT Services and Product Innovation specialist firm BodhTree Consulting has announced the availability of MIDAS - a new Multi Industry Data Anomaly Solution to help industry solve data completeness, accuracy and integrity problems which will help save millions of dollars spent on managing unclean data and optimize database utilisation. The solution will be available for customers as SaaS (Software as a Service) or as a Turn-Key Solution. BodhTree expects MIDAS to boost its revenue streams significantly in the coming months.
According to Data Warehousing Institute, U.S. businesses lose more than USD 600bn every year due to poor-quality data.1 Direct marketers in Europe spend GBP 195mn every year on incorrectly addressed international mail.2 Gartner Inc's research report of Feb 2008 has predicted that 'dirty data' will cause 50% of insurers to have compromised decision-making assumptions by 2012. Ted Friedman, Vice-President of Data Management and Integration at Gartner Inc. says - "Companies have discovered that data quality has a significant impact on their most strategic business initiatives." Source: The ECCMA Newsletter, August 2008, Market Direct Magazine.
Making the announcement Sanjeev Gupta, Director of BodhTree Consulting said with MIDAS, Industries can now make sure their databases and IT infrastructure is relevant, clean and well organized to ensure they are not clogging up corporate efficiencies. At BodhTree, a customer will also receive the finest data centre, staffing levels support, both on data processing and account management inexpensively."
Sanjeev explained that one of the key drivers behind the development of MIDAS is the burgeoning Global Data Cleansing market segment and the unprecedented growth of data generated by individuals that requires constant optimization attention.
MIDAS is based on an open standard-based J2EE application that uses flexible, scalable and robust proprietary tools and processes to address issues of data hygiene across industries and verticals. It is designed to meet the finest industry practices in the form of vertical-specific pre-canned data hygiene steps, data connectors and reports.

Senate Bill 1322 (PDF), styled the Oklahoma Science Education Act, is the latest antievolution bill in the Sooner State.
A bill introduced in the Kentucky legislature would extend the duration of summer vacation in order to boost tourism — including to a creationist attraction.
Two bills introduced in the Florida legislature — House Bill 899 and Senate Bill 1018 — are ostensibly aimed at empowering taxpayers to object to the use of specific instructional materials in the public schools, for example on the grounds that they fail to provide "a noninflammatory, objective, and balanced viewpoint on issues." There is reason to believe that evolution and climate change are among the targets.
Zack Kopplin
Writing in The Daily Beast (December 28, 2015), Zack Kopplin reviews the last decade of antievolution strategies — with the assistance of a former employee of the Discovery Institute, the de facto institutional home of "intelligent design" creationism.
Nick Matzke outside the Rhea County, Tennessee, courthouse, where John T. Scopes was tried in 1925
Nick Matzke's "The Evolution of Antievolution Policies after Kitzmiller v. Dover" (PDF; subscription required), a new paper forthcoming in Science, is receiving plenty of press coverage. As NCSE previously reported, the paper shows that even though creationism is getting stealthier in the wake of legal defeats such as Kitzmiller v. Dover, techniques from modern evolutionary biology reveal how creationist legislation is evolving.
In a new paper (PDF; subscription required) forthcoming in Science, Nick Matzke shows that even though creationism is getting stealthier in the wake of legal defeats such as Kitzmiller v. Dover, techniques from modern evolutionary biology reveal how creationist legislation is evolving. Using data collected by NCSE and state-of-the-art phylogenetic analysis, Matzke constructed a phylogenetic tree of seventy-five distinct antievolution bills and policies, reconstructing their genealogical relationships with a high degree of confidence.
The Utah state board of education voted 11-4 on December 4, 2015, to adopt a new set of science standards for grades 6-8, according to a December 4, 2015, press release. Included, despite early signs of controversy, are evolution and climate change.
As the tenth anniversary of the decision in Kitzmiller v. Dover approaches, Americans United for Separation of Church and State commemorated the occasion with "Science Lessons," published in the December 2015 issue of Church & State.
As the tenth anniversary of Kitzmiller v. Dover approaches, the York Daily Record (September 11, 2015) devoted a suite of stories to the landmark case, which established the unconstitutionality of teaching "intelligent design" creationism in the public schools.
A federal lawsuit contending that teaching evolution in West Virginia's public schools is unconstitutional is over. In the decision (PDF) in Smith v. Jefferson County School Board et al., issued by the United States District Court for the Northern District of West Virginia on August 25, 2015, the defendants' motions to dismiss the case were granted.

About this Costume

This was one of my first big solo projects and Snake is probably my favourite video game character of all time. This isn't perfect by a long shot but I like to delude myself into believing it's one of the better Snakes out there. XD Under the vesr is a pair of overalls I got from my dad's old company. Snakes in-game suit is a lot tighter than that so this is something I would probably change if I were to re-do it, along with the wig and belt/holster. Most of the gear was bought apart from the vest which I made from leatherette.

Sir Elton John has reportedly bought a ten-bedroom mansion in Beverly Hills for an estimated £22 million.
The 68-year-old singer and his husband David Furnish, who got married last year, have snapped up the sprawling pad, which was originally listed for £41 million four years ago, in California for £19 million less than the initial asking price.
The lavish three-storey estate, built in 2001, stretches across 25,000 square feet and comes with 10 bathrooms.
The home boasts stunning views of the busy city below, perfect for star gazing at night, a large outdoor pool in the picturesque back garden and a decking area ideal for hosting barbecues and parties in the summer months.
The inside features Victorian style interiors with high ceilings, mahogany bed frames with thick silk curtain enclosures and white windows to allow plenty of light.
The decor has been kept simple but timeless with a lick of magnolia paint, while the grand windy staircase adds class and the expensive chandeliers creates an elegant vibe.
The living room is complete with a large open fire with a marble ceramic and wooden beams to add character, while the dimmed lighting creates a cosy atmosphere.
The dining room also comes with a fire place and a large mahogany table running through the middle to seat 12 guests, while the patio doors open up towards the garden.
An 11-car subterranean garage takes prime position at the side of the house to cater for Elton's collection of motors, according to Variety magazine.
Meanwhile, the couple - who are parents to Zachary, four, and Elijah, two - also have another property in Beverly Hills, which they bought in 2012 for an estimated £4.7 million.
They also have a home in Atlanta, a villa on top of Mont Boron in Nice, a country estate in Windsor and a lavish town house in the affluent area of Holland Park in London.

Flooring types & properties:
This article provides information about all types of flooring and floor coverings used in buildings. This article series provides the properties of different flooring types, flooring defects, inspection, troubleshooting, installation or flooring repairs. Asbestos, mold or other flooring hazards are described as well as how to identify types of flooring or to guess building age or flooring age.
Here we provide a list of building flooring articles that guide in identifying different kinds of flooring materials in buildings and we include articles on individual flooring type inspection, diagnosis, & repair. At the end of this article you will find the master index to articles about floors and flooring. Also try searching for specific flooring information at InspectApedia by using the page top or page bottom search boxes.
Green links show where you are. © Copyright 2017 InspectApedia.com, All Rights Reserved.
Details begin at these articles useful to identify asbestos-containing floor tiles or sheet flooring
Asphalt floor tiles are most often 9" square tiles which used asphalt as the main binding material. Asphalt and asphalt asbestos flooring was produced and sold in a range of sizes including 6x6", 9x9", 12x12" and also in strips or decorative insets.
The original asphalt tiles were produced only in dark colors because asphalt was a main ingredient. Asphalt based floor tiles usually contain asbestos as both a powder filler (very small asbestos particles) and as a fiber for strength and are often referred to as asphalt-asbestos floor tiles. However later lighter-colored vinyl-based floor tiles may also contain asbestos.
The black tiles shown at left were not dated and could be a newer product, but in general, if you find dark colored or very old black floor tiles or floor tiles that are black in their core materials they are probably an asphalt-asbestos product.
Rosato indicates that the first publicized asphalt tile installation was in 1920 in New York City's Western Union office. The product was very successful and by 1936 over four million square yards of asphalt floor tiles were being sold annually.
In 1920 asphalt roofing manufacturers, who had been using asphalt and fiber binders to make asphalt roofing shingles for some time, tried to develop a rigid product that could be a substitute for (more costly) slate roofing. The material did not perform acceptably as a roof covering, but it led to the development of asphalt floor tiles.
By 1940, 5% of floor coverings sold in the U.S. were asphalt tile. -- Rosato Through the 1950's and 1960's most floor tiles sold in North America and parts of the U.K., Europe, Australia, New Zealand, parts of India and other countries were asphalt asbestos flooring, shifting to vinyl based tiles and vinyl-asbestos floor tiles and sheet flooring that were widely sold into the early 1980's in most locales.
At AGE of a BUILDING - how to determine in our section titled Flooring Materials we discuss the eras during which various flooring materials were first used in modern buildings and how to use these to help identify the age of a building.
Asphalt-asbestos floor tiles were produced at first in dark colors using a heavy asphalt binder combined with a very high percentage of asbestos filler fibers. It would be uncommon to find these floors still in use today, but if you encounter black or very dark asphalt floor tiles they are probably very high in asbestos fibers. We discuss floor tiles as an asbestos fiber source in buildings in more detail
at ASBESTOS FLOOR TILE IDENTIFICATION where we elaborate the concerns about asbestos used in the manufacture of asphalt-based floor tiles.
That does not mean we should panic nor undertake an expensive and dangerous asbestos removal project.
Asbestos is safe and legal to remain in homes or public buildings as long as the asbestos materials are in good condition and the asbestos can not be released into the air.
Generally the safest approach is to leave such flooring alone and to cover it over with a coating or with another layer of flooring.
Asphalt -asbestos tiles manufactured early in their life (1920's) were either black, near black, brown, or a gray-brown tone. Brown asphalt-asbestos tiles were made by substituting gilsonite as a binder. In both cases the tiles were hardened by evaporating a solvent used in the fabrication process, or by cooling of hot asphalt used in the mixture.
Gilsonite could be used to produce a wider range of mixtures, but required some asphalt as a softener. Dark vinyl-asbestos tiles used, for example, a mixture of 40 parts asphalt or gilsonite, 60 parts asbestos floats, 30 parts powdered limestone, and pigments (parts by weight). Another typical mixture cited by Rosato contained 70% asbestos fiber.
See these articles on asphalt and vinyl-asbestos floor tile identification:
Carpet may be synthetic or natural fibers like wool. Synthetic carpeting is the most common
and is a good choice in areas where the carpeting may become wet.
Common wall to wall carpeting materials include polypropylene, nylon and acrylic. Where the backing material is not moisture resistant, synthetic carpet will be quickly damaged if wet. Jute-backed carpets, for example, should be kept dry.
Many types of synthetic carpet can be cleaned more easily than wool carpets.
Synthetic carpeting is available in a wide variety of colors, weights and weaves.
Wool is an expensive material favored for its look, feel and durability. As synthetic products have improved and remain less expensive, wool is becoming rare. It is sometimes blended with a synthetic material. Wool is a natural product and is less resistant to water damage than synthetics. It also has less resistance to stains than some synthetics.
The quality of a carpeted floor depends upon the type, weight and construction of carpeting, the type of underpad, and the installation work. - Citation: Carson Dunlop Associates, Home Reference Book, quoted with permission.
See these detailed articles about carpeting:
See these articles about diagnosing stains, mold, and allergens in carpeting
Concrete floor finishes are typically only used in basements and garages. The floor should slope down to a floor drain in basements and other areas where water may accumulate.
In modern construction, a four to six inch gravel base below the 3-inch thick floor slab allows water below the slab to drain away. Moisture barriers (plastic sheets) may also be provided under the slab, and in energy efficient construction or slab-on-grade construction, rigid insulation may be used below the floor. In older construction, concrete floor slabs were as thin as 1/2 inch. These are prone to impact damage, heaving and break-up.
This is a cosmetic issue and may be a trip hazard. Most concrete floors are not part of the structure. Basement floors are typically installed after the home is completed, and their main function is to keep our feet out of the mud.
Concrete basement floors can be overlaid with finished flooring. Since almost every house with a basement has water on the basement floor at some point, water-resistant floors make sense. In slab-on-grade construction, the concrete floors provide a substrate for floor finishes. - Citation: Carson Dunlop Associates, Home Reference Book , quoted with permission.

Asphalt floor tiles, asphalt-saturated asbestos felt, carpeting, cork floor tiles & planks, laminate flooring (modern), linoleum (sheet flooring) & earlier painted fabric floor coverings, vinyl-asbestos tile floors, wood flooring.
In recent years, laminate flooring has become very popular, especially among do-it-yourselfers. Laminate floor planks (or tiles) have several layers. The top layer is generally a clear laminate that is bonded to a decorative layer below, often creating the look of a wood floor. These layers are bonded to a wood- or fiber-based core. The bottom layer may be a paper or melamine backing. The product is similar to resilient countertops. A complete floor is created by either snapping planks together with specially-designed fasteners along the edges, or by gluing planks together along traditional tongue and groove edges.
Laminate flooring is not secured to the subfloor beneath it. Instead, it is installed as a floating floor, allowing it to expand and contract. A sheet of cushioning foam is installed between the laminate flooring and the subfloor. There may also be a sheet of plastic below the foam to act as a moisture barrier and to allow the floor to slide as it expands. A gap is required between the flooring and the walls to allow for expansion. This gap is covered by trim. Laminate flooring cannot be sanded, stained, or otherwise refinished, although damaged planks can be replaced.
Laminate flooring is resistant to small amounts of water, such as quickly wiped-up spills, but precautions should be taken in kitchens or bathrooms including applying a sealant around the perimeter. This is not visible during a home inspection. Laminate flooring should not be installed in damp basement areas. - Citation: Carson Dunlop Associates, Home Reference Book , quoted with permission.
The laminate wood flooring shown at above left was buckled and destroyed by flooding caused by a leaky heating pipe. As we discussed with traditional wood flooring above, severe flooding or installation errors can lead to total loss of the finish floor system.
Contemporary snap-together flooring products that resemble wood or other surfaces, but are made of plastic, and other pre-finished and ready-to-assemble wood flooring products are a much more modern product.
Pergo (TM) laminate flooring, for example, was developed by Pergo AB, a Swedish company founded around 1890 as a vinegar manufacturer. Product development for Pergo laminate flooring began in 1977 and was first brought to the market in 1984. Pergo laminate flooring was first sold in the U.S. in 1994.
It's safe to say that if you see a Pergo product in building in U.S. the flooring was installed no longer ago than 1994. But because this product is has been widely used as a renovation material installed atop older pre-existing finish floor surfaces, one should not presume that the product age is the same as the building age unless the floor was installed as original material - that is, unless it was not installed over an older floor covering.
Just seeing Pergo™ laminate flooring over a plywood subfloor is not sufficient data to conclude the age of a home. Older carpeting may have been removed to expose a plywood subfloor over which the laminate flooring was then installed.
See these detailed articles on laminate floor materials:
Shown at below, Congoleum sheet flooring
Non-resilient floor coverings used in buildings that can assist in determining the age of a structure include bamboo, brick, concrete, stone, and a wide variety of wood products.
Resilient floor coverings include vinyl-asbestos, solid vinyl, vinyl faced, rubber, cork, asphalt and linoleum. It is installed in sheets or tiles. More expensive products include a cushioned backing material and a no-wax surface.
Above left: vinyl asbestos flooring in a cork pattern - this is considered a resilient flooring material.
Above right: cork floor tiles (actual cork) - this is considered a resilient flooring material too.
In modern construction, resilient floor covering materials are typically applied over a 1/4 inch plywood
underlayment. These thin, flexible materials will show through any irregularities in the floor surface. - Citation: Carson Dunlop Associates, Home Reference Book
Sheet flooring is a term refering to floor coverings (other than carpeting) that are installed in large sheets rather than as individual tiles or strips; sheet flooring may be either adhered or non-adhered. Sheet flooring products can help determine the age of a building, and vice versa: if we know when a building was constructed we can guess at the earliest probable age of its floor coverings, excepting that some antique materials such as solid wood planks may be re-used in newer buildings.
Just above is a photograph of an early (pre-vinyl) continuous floor covering, ca 1900, in an 1840 historic Vermont house.
Note the fabric backing of the flooring material. This article explains various common flooring materials (rough wood, finished wood, parquet, carpeting, linocrusta, sheet vinyl, and other items as they assist in determining the age of a house or other building.
Details about sheet flooring are at
At LINOLEUM & SHEET FLOORING we describe the history and properties of linoleum sheet flooring using the Congoleum-Nairn corporation history to obtain some useful dates on when different sheet flooring products were produced.
The resilient flooring product shown at left was made in the late 1990's and is not an asbestos concern, though in this case the flooring was damaged by water and movement of a cabinet.
According to Rosato, "The original resilient floor coverings were developed during the latter part of the Nineteenth Century by Frederick Walton.
The original covering was linoleum for use as a floor decking on British naval ships." The composition of the original products included asphaltic binders to which an asbestos filler was added by mixing on a rubber mill.

These are natural materials cut into flooring tiles. Terrazzo is made of marble chips set in concrete, usually laid in squares defined by lead beading. The surface is polished to give a smooth floor. Terrazzo is more common in commercial buildings, hospitals and schools than in homes.
Stone and terrazzo are good flooring materials because of their strength, appearance and durability. Installation considerations are similar to ceramic and quarry tile, in that the weight of the material itself may deflect conventional flooring systems. Joints on stone floors are grouted. - Citation: Carson Dunlop Associates, Home Reference Book
Generally considered high quality, ceramic or quarry tiles are hard, fired-clay products that may be glazed or unglazed. These materials stand up well to heat, water and normal wear and tear, and have good resistance to stains and cuts. These brittle floor systems will crack if not well supported.
A conventional wood flooring system often has too much flex to support ceramic or quarry tile. Better installations include a concrete base for the tile, typically one to five inches thick.
Ceramic tiles may be pressed into the concrete while it is setting. Joints are then grouted. Tiles are typically 1/16-inch to 1-inch thick and are commonly from one inch by one inch to 24 inches by 24 inches. Many shapes, colors, patterns and finishes are available.
In modern construction, a thin mortar base or adhesive is used over a thick subfloor. If well installed, this can be satisfactory. Again, joints have to be appropriately grouted. It is common for ceramic or quarry tile floors to be cracked where floor joists deflect, or in heavy traffic patterns. Tiles can be damaged by dropping tools, pots, pans or other heavy objects.
Traditionally, ceramic tile floors were used in bathrooms and vestibules, because of their natural resistance to moisture. Ceramic or quarry tile floors are used in kitchens, for the same reason, although they are unforgiving if one drops glass on them, and they are also more tiring to stand on because of their hard surface. Wet floors can be slippery. - Citation: Carson Dunlop Associates, Home Reference Book

Cracked floor tiles like this can be diagnosed in order to decide if the cracking shows a serious structural problem, inadequate floor support, mechanical damage, or as in this case, damage from a loose, rocky toilet.
More Places to Look for Hidden Mold in buildingsincludes a discussion of how even a slight slope in a tile bathroom floor leads to bath leaks under and behind bathroom vanity cabinets and floor trim, and we discuss how to prevent this problem
Vinyl floor tiles, including vinyl-asbestos floor tiles and homogenous vinyl floor tiles (non-asbestos product) are almost as old as asphalt floor tiles. By the early 1950's in the U.S. vinyl tile floor products were more popular than asphalt-based flooring. The reason is pretty obvious.
Asphalt-based flooring as it was originally produced used heavy asphalt products which meant that the floor tiles could be made in dark colors only. Soon after asphalt-asbestos floor tiles were marketed manufacturers heard from their buyers that consumers wanted lighter floor tiles and tiles of varying color and pattern.
Organic resin vinyl increased in popularity for this reason, but slowly. By 1952, the production of vinyl plastic floor tile sales in the U.S. was about half the volume of asphalt floor tiles, selling 35 million square yards.
We discuss vinyl-asbestos floor tiles as an asbestos fiber source in buildings in more detail
at ASBESTOS FLOOR TILE IDENTIFICATION where we elaborate the concerns about asbestos used in the manufacture of vinyl based floor tiles that used high levels of asbestos fibers as a filler material and to provide other properties to that product. More photos of vinyl asbestos floor tiles, including microphotographs of vinyl-asbestos floor tiles can be seen at that article.
See these articles on asphalt and vinyl-asbestos floor tile identification:
Hardwood floors are traditionally oak, although other woods such as cherry, walnut, birch, beech, mahogany, elm and maple, are also used. Bamboo is not technically wood, but is also used as flooring. Hardwood flooring may be in the form of strips or parquet, which often consist of six inch squares with each square made up of six one-inch strips. The squares are laid with the grain in adjoining squares at right angles, giving a checkerboard effect. Parquet flooring may be nailed or glued down. There are several different types and installation techniques. Parquet flooring can also be made up of a combination of rectangles, triangles and lozenges and can be very decorative and very expensive.
Strip flooring is typically tongue and groove, secured with nails driven diagonally through the tongues into the subfloor. Hardwood flooring in modern construction is typically 3/8 inch to 3/4 inch thick and may be pre-finished or finished on site. Hardwood flooring is a high quality and durable floor system. It can be mechanically damaged, attacked by termites, rot and fire, or damaged by water.
Wood flooring is not ideally suited to kitchen and bathroom areas, since it is susceptible to water damage. Nonetheless, hardwood flooring is regularly found in kitchens. Individual boards can be replaced, but matching can be tricky. Worn 3/8 inch thick hardwood flooring can be sanded once to provide a new wood surface. 3/4 inch hardwood flooring can be sanded several times before the tongues are exposed. Wood flooring can be covered with carpeting or other flooring materials. - Citation: Carson Dunlop Associates, Home Reference Book , quoted with permission.
Wood flooring, one of the most warm and beautiful materials that can be placed in a home (OPINION-DF) needs to be installed following proper practices. The gaps that appeared in the wood floor shown at above left were caused by installation of the floor in a new home, over radiant heat tubing, and without allowing the flooring to reach a proper moisture level before it was nailed in place.
Extreme buckling can cause an upwards explosion of a wood floor when flooring is exposed to flooding or prolonged leaks.
This severe buckling wood floor damage can occur even at much smaller increases in interior moist sure if a tongue and groove wood floor is improperly installed - leaving inadequate free space margin around the floor perimeter.
See Wood Floor Types for a catalog of types and ages of wood flooring.
See WOOD FLOOR DAMAGE REPAIR for details of types of damage to wood flooring and for a description of wood floor repair approaches.
Non-resilient floor coverings used in buildings that can assist in determining the age of a structure include bamboo, brick, concrete, stone, slate, and a wide variety of wood products.
"Non-resilient" flooring is defined as hard surfaced flooring material such as stone, brick, slate, or ceramic tile.
"Resilient flooring" is defined as materials softer than the non-resilient materials we just listed (stone, slate, brick, ceramic tile), and includes organic types of flooring: asphalt based floor tiles, cork floor tiles, cork floor planks, linoleum sheet flooring (antique & modern), plastic floor tiles, rubber floor tiles, vinyl-asbestos floor tiles.
So what's "wood flooring" ? After all, it is organic too. Is a wood floor non-resilient, resilient, or just "wood"?
See Asphalt & Vinyl Floor Tile History - history, dates, and description of the production process and ingredients in asphalt floor tiles, asphalt-asbestos floor tiles, & vinyl-asbestos floor tiles.
Cork floor tiles were considered a warm, quiet, but less durable resilient floor covering than some of its competitors. It was sold often for use in residential dens, family rooms, or other warm, low-traffic areas, and it may have been popular (research needed) for use in areas where workers had to spend long periods standing - where it would have competed with rubber floor coverings. In 1952 cork flooring sales made up 2% of total floor tile sales. -- Rosato p88.

Royal Tailorcomes from a sound similar to that of Anthem Lights, but unlike Anthem Lights, Royal Tailor seems better at the music makes and they also have a good variety. Make A Move is probably one of my favorite upbeat songs it gets you movin and energetic. Death of Me is another good song that shows variety it had some hip-hip/pop moments but it felt more acoustic then anything.
While Royal Tailorhas a long way to go, they are off to a very good start with "Black & White".

Why do we need to do concrete polishing and hardening?
The concrete floor is easy to be weathered, dusting and sanding without doing hardening and polishing.
Conversely, the concrete floor can extend the life-spam with good vision and more durability after being polished. It can prevent dusting and sanding. It is easy to be cleaned.
How to distinguish the concrete hardness? How to do it without instruments? Do I have to select a lighter machine when it is soft concrete floor?
Way 1: With Concrete Floor Hardness Tester
Under 30 PSI soft concrete
30-50 PSI medium concrete
Up to 50 PSI hard concrete
Way 2: With a hard material to do a simple test(like a coin). Commonly used in China.
Coin Test Method
A. With a coin to scrape the floor and get a result of marked but can not go deep, that means the density of the floor is good. Generally, this kind of floor is C30 label with good maintenance of industrial concrete floors and carborundum wearable floor. The grinding curing construction effect is obvious. It has good brightness and the cost can be controlled.
B. With a coin to scrape the floor and there are obvious signs of grooves, then the label of this kind of floor is usually low and it is bad maintenance concrete floor. For this kind of floor, we can choose concrete hardening technology, it can also have an obvious effect after construction, but the construction costs are significantly higher.
C. With a coin to scrape the floor and you can draw a deep groove easily. And even the groove can bury the coins. Then we shall give up this kind of floor and do not need to think about any construction process. We can just communicate with the Party B directly to shatter the existing terrestrial re-paving concrete. To do good maintenance and polished concrete after that.
D.Test the floor with your own eyes.--It is not scientific.
Way 3: Mohs pencil
What's the differences between dry polishing and wet polishing? When shall we choose wet polishing?
A. The advantages of concrete dry polishing:
1. It can reduce the moisture content of the floor, which will help the densifier penetration.
2. The powder is filled into the holes and reacted with hardener to form a crystal which improves the compactness of the floor.
3. It is good for checking the level of all steps of grinding and if the surface scratches are well-distributed. It is better for timely remedial rework. The quality of construction is higher.
4. This polishing system is equipped with industrial vacuum. The waste generated by dry polishing is easy to be handle and recycled. Environmental protection is required by most countries.
5. The main composition of concrete is silicates which is suitable for physical polishing. It can improve the floor smoothness and keep it more longer. Wet polishing can not reach such high temperatures, which is not good for polishing and the brightness will not last long. Higher costs need for maintenance.When we do wet polishing, the mud is mixed with water. There are water stains left and get a hazy feeling.
Disadvantages: It needs to be equipped with vacuum equipment to achieve dust-free working. The cost of abrasives are relatively higher than wet polishing.
B. The advantages of concrete wet polishing:
1. The grinding effect of wet polishing is better than the dry polishing as it can better moisturize the abrasive.
2. The grinding media generated from wet polishing can reduce scratches.
3. The costs of abrasives are lower than dry polishing relatively and it is suitable for a wide range.
Disadvantages: Non-environmentally friendly. The security coefficient is lower than dry polishing. The wasted mud is hard to deal with and it is very prone to clogging drains.
Polishing process is depend on the customer's and operator's choice.
How to account the cost of polished concrete floor ? How to quote ?
The main costs of polishing concrete include: hardener costs, abrasive costs, labor costs, waste disposal costs, travel expenses, depreciation of machinery and management costs.
A. Hardener Costs: hardener in different brands have different prices.
B. Abrasive Cost: First depend on what system you choose: wet or dry polishing systems. And different condition floors get different hardness, so abrasive consumes are not the same. The hardest of floor, the less of the abrasive consumes. The better quality of the floor,the less of the abrasive consume,
According to the requirements of the result, product costs are not the same. For example, high degree final result needs at least to polishing till 3000 #. 400# just get hone final floor. Metal diamond pads 30# or 60# used for leveling floor. Of course, if you use more grits, then grind cost, labor costs will increase accordingly.
C. Labor costs: different places have different labor costs standard. The higher efficiency machinery you used,the less labor costs you can get.
Therefore, the cost of polishing concrete depends on the material chosen by customers, polishing process, machine efficiency, customer requirements, technical workers and other factors. Cost is approximately $ 1 -$10/ m2.
Price: Do demo on a 50 sq.m job for clients, then calculate the cost.
If the concrete floor have small apertures/holes, then how to resolve it? What steps to deal with the small apertures?
A: Solution: cement + concrete hardening agent or cement + concrete interface agent to fill in thin apertures faces. Do not add any water. Normally, to do this step after grinding metal or resin pads 200#. Currently we use concrete interface agent in our own site. The sales price at 26 RMB / kg.
How to grind concrete floor which is still rough after grinding ?
A: Check the concrete surface conditions. If the surface is very flat, just skip the metal grinding pads.
If the concrete floor is still rough after grinding, that means the concrete is not hard enough.
Solution: 1 Harden the floor, then grinding it with 60 # metal pads;
2 Copy the first steps.
3 Copy the second steps (At least three times for those steps. According to the surface situation and decide whether you need to do hardening treatment again. Do leveling with 60# metal pad till the floor is smooth fully.)
(Note: Hardening process need to wait 4-24 hours till it is dry enough. The longer, the better. Remain semi-wet and dry polishing status. Equipped with industrial vacuum to avoid dust from coming up again.
Next, resin polishing pads 50 # 100 # 200 # to do polishing (Dry or Wet are both OK, but not too wet) --- densifier --- 400 # 800 # 1500 # 3000 # (dry polishing).
How to deal with a super-soft or super-hard concrete floors? What are the differences between the procedures with the ordinary one?
If it is a super-soft concrete, we can use our two-component type hardening agent. First with CHA-09C agent to enhance the hardness of the concrete, and then grinding (abrasive should be anti-friction one).
If the ground is super-hard, you can choose one-component type hardening agent, but the abrasive should be sharp enough one. Grinding processes are the same.
How to grind the corner of the concrete floor?
With edge grinder X20 and polishing pads JL-N /JL-L 50# 100# 200# to do wet /dry polish at a rotating speed of 600-800rpm. And then use polishing pads XMD 400# 800# to do dry polish at a highest speed.
During the processes of concrete surface grinding and polishing, what level of brightness can each polishing step achieve? How about in domestic concrete floor ?
Generally, the brightness of the normal concrete polishing is related to the surface condition, the weight of the machine and the rotating speed. The harder the concrete is, with heavier machine and higher speed, the result of brightness will be better.
Under normal circumstances, if the hardness of floor can reach more than C30, then it can achieve 30 degree with using pads until 800#. And it can achieve 50-60 degree if 3000# used (You can see yourself on the ground like a mirror after using 3000#). If a higher gloss requested, you need to use concrete polishing agent to auxiliary polishing. It can achieve marble shining effect.
During rough grinding, what is the suitable RPM on grinding machine? And what about fine polishing?
When rough grinding, the speed should be 1100-1300 rpm. And when doing polishing, use the highest speed as polishing machine can.
Will it reach the effect of dust-proof and waterproof after the whole processes of polishing on concrete floor ? If it will release toxic gases when it is used for indoor?
Yes , it can prevent the dust , but for the waterproof, it depends on what kind of curing agent you choose. Seal type hardener can do waterproof. There also has a concrete protective agent (protective agent) in the market can reach a certain degree of waterproof and prevent oil, but not 100% sure. If you choose that , you'd better test it first. Now, VOC emissions of aqueous hardener on the market is "0". Therefore, the customer can be rest assured of that.
How to deal with the very uneven concrete surface with deep ravines?
If the basement of floor is very strong, first,you can use milling planer to plane until smooth, then reoccupy metal # 16/20 start grinding together with our grinding machine.
Is there any other agents we can use (except hardened agent ) when polishing concrete ground?
Yes ,there are. Such as Concrete colorants, concrete protective agent, concrete polishing agent, concrete protective agent and so on.
BTW: At present ,one product has multiple names on the market. The above names here are just for your reference.
Due to the limited site socket, if we can put the grinding machine and industrial vacuum cleaners merged into a power source, i.e., the grinding machine and industrial vacuum cleaner connected directly. The industrial vacuum cleaner is connected to a power source. Is that ok?
Yes, we can connect it through a distribution box. The requirement of the main line must meet the requirements of 7.5 KW for industrial vacuum cleaners and a 11 KW grinding machine line with at least 10 or more flat.
Would construction method be different due to the construction of the concrete surface hardening polishing in different environments ? (indoor, outdoor, clean environment).
No, they are the same. Only grinding in different ways, the construction methods are different.

There were fewer Auckland apartments on offer at the main apartment auctions this week, as is often the case in the weeks either side of the Easter break, but there was plenty of interest from buyers and most of what was offered was sold under the hammer.
At Barfoot & Thompson's regular apartment auction, just one apartment was on offer, a spacious 126 square metre apartment in Grafton, with two bedrooms, two car parks and a very large balcony.
There were multiple bidders for it and it sold under the hammer for $810,000.
Unfortunately there wasn't the same level of interest for a commercial property offered at the same auction.
The 271 square metre retail premises on the corner of the Meadowbank Shopping Centre was passed in without receiving any bids.
At Ray White City Apartments' auction four properties were offered and three of them sold under the hammer.
Although there were multiple bidders for the fourth property, a one bedroom unit not leased to the hotel in the Spencer on Byron at Takapuna, the bids weren't high enough to get it across the line and it was passed in.
The auction results with the prices achieved on individual properties are available on our Auction Results page.

Interesting. These appear to be the pdfs of Migne - or rather the Greek only from Migne- that were originally prepared by a Greek university and posted at http://patrologia.ct.aegean.gr/ (Δρόμοι της Πίστης) which has been offline for a while. Hmm.

These PDFs are not copies of Migne's edition. Many of texts are not even present in PGM. These files were downloaded without permission from the TLG CD ROM and converted to PDF format by a group affiliated with the University of the Aegean in Greece. The majority of the files are based on modern copyrighted editions that were digitized at great cost by the TLG project at the University of California, Irvine. Upon intervention of UC legal council, the University of the Aegean removed the materials. This explains why the UOA site has been off-line. The director of the project, however, gave the files to other individuals obviously in an effort to circumvent law and the decision of his institution. Ruslan Khazarzar is one of the recipients of the pirated materials.

Irish low-carb diet and fitness specialist Ben McClure and 75-year old New Zealand-based nutritional ketosis blogger Anne Franklin join our hosts Jimmy Moore and Dietitian Cassie today in Episode 115 of "Low-Carb Conversations With Jimmy Moore & Friends!"
Right-click to save audio file.
The nutritional tide is turning and we're chronicling that paradigm shift each and every Friday here on "Low-Carb Conversations." In some small way, we hope this podcast is helping make a difference in the lives of people who are sick and tired of thinking a low-fat, high-carb diet is the only way to obtain health. If you're a regular listener to this podcast, then you already know how wrong — dead wrong! — that really is. Our enthusiastic hosts and intelligent guest friends from the Paleo, primal, and low-carb communities enjoy having engaging discussions about all the health headlines that are making news and shaping views in the minds of people every single day. It's critically important that the misinformation that gets spread out there in the mainstream health media gets corrected which is what we try to do here on a weekly basis. If you want to keep this podcast going strong, then won't you consider financially supporting us? CLICK HERE to share your donation of any size. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

PUMPKIN AND SPINACH FRITTATA by Anne Franklin
Prepare a large baking dish by brushing with melted butter. I often line my dish with baking paper instead as it saves scrubbing later.
Preheat oven to 340 degrees Fahrenheit
400g roasted chunks of pumpkin
200g spinach
120g blue cheese or feta, (diced or crumbled)
12 eggs
50 ml heavy whipping cream
120g creamy blue cheese or feta
100g diced bacon
1 tomato
200g grated cheese
seasoning and herbs to taste
I usually cut my pumpkin into 1 -2 inch pieces. I toss the pieces in a little olive oil, seasoned herbs such as Tuscan seasoning, and bake in the oven until soft. Better still is to bake extra when roasting veggies for dinner the previous day.
Layer the pumpkin and spinach in your baking dish with pieces of the creamy cheese or feta. Beat the eggs together with the cream. Pour the eggs over the veggies. Scatter the pieces of bacon over. Slice tomato and place over the dish. Sprinkle grated cheese over.
Bake in a moderate oven until firm. and the cheesy top is golden. Takes 30 to 45 minutes depending on the depth of the dish. Great as a main meal with salad and slices well when cold to make an ideal picnic food.

Radiant J. Productions is the lovechild of Amirose Eisenbach. With an unwavering passion for film and music, and a decade of entertainment experience working at Warner Bros., FOX Interactive Media (IGN) and AMC Theatres editorial, Amirose was ready to embark on her own journey, to bring meaningful content and events to life.
With an emphasis in spreading consciousness and connection, elevating women and giving aspiring artists the courage and platform to pursue their dreams, each event and film we produce is designed to make positive impact in the community.
But what does the "J" stand for? We've all been through tragedy and tough times. When we make it through to the other side, we are filled with a greater sense of purpose and understanding about the importance of life. The "J" stands for Amirose's beautiful mother Jayne, who lost her battle to cancer in April 2014. Devastated and heartbroken when she passed, Amirose was determined to use the pain and dedicate the rest of her life to creating something special, honoring her strong and courageous mother and helping others in the process.
The "J" represents recognizing your strength and striving to bring more light into people's lives. It stands for legacy, passion and committing to the creation of something authentic and important to believe in. The "J" stands for the preciousness of time and how we need to work together to act now. And what better way to achieve this than to come together in the name of art, creativity and connection?
So, what does your "J" stand for?

Little God was waiting for her with his arms open ready to take a dive from the mountain cliff
Come to the edge
No, I am scared of heights
Come to the edge
No, I will fall down
Come to the edge
No, I may die
Little God walked towards her and took her in his arms.
And pushed her off the cliff
Lo!!! She flew

Advantages of Online Casinos
Online casinos have been around for about 10 years. During their short history, they have managed to create a huge crowd of fans, from all around the world. Until recently, if you wanted to go to a casino, you probably had to travel a few miles, most likely pay an entrance fee just to spend a few hours in a dark, without windows building. Online casinos however revolutionized the market, since now, playing your favorite game is just easier, more welcoming and less time consuming.
Improvement of Online Casinos
The appearance of online casinos has very much improved since their initiation. In the beginning it was much more difficult since you didn't have so many options to choose from. There were only a few online casinos in the market, and due to the lack of competition, your options as a costumer were limited. The quality of the game was low because of the slow internet connection and the low quality of the features. If you look at an online casino today, it will look nothing like that. Technology, to start with, has made huge steps, enabling high speed in internet connections, so that is not an issue anymore. Now, the game is guaranteed to run smoothly and safely. More than that, the features and graphics have improved greatly, making online casinos an exciting and unique experience for online gamblers.
Why Play Online?
The answer is so simple. Because it's in front of you. If you are reading these lines, it means you have access to the internet, either from the screen of you laptop, from your tablet or even from your mobile phone. Great! It's just as easy to play at an online casino because that's all you need basically. There is no need for looking which casino is close to you, if there is a dress code, what the opening hours are and which games are offered. You can just go online and have all of the above at your fingertips.
The atmosphere is equally exciting and you get the full package: great sounds and music (if you like, unlike the regular casinos), your favorite game available 24/7 (unlike regular casinos), your favorite food (that can mean your most love home cooked meal or the best delivery of your area, unlike regular casinos).
You can have anything you want that a regular casino does not offer, and on the other hand, you can avoid all the unpleasant things that a regular casinos does offer. No more having to wait for a seat on that roulette table, no more having to bear with the obnoxious guy sitting next to you on the blackjack table or seeing your favorite poker machines giving its winnings to a random visitor. Now, you can only focus on your game, and improve your gaming strategies.
Online Casino Masters Tips for Playing Online
- If you haven't done it already, give online casinos a try. They will surely make that choice worthy.
- Always stay on the safe side and be responsible. This guarantees gambling to be fun.
- Read reviews of online casinos before you start. That way, you will know what to expect, and more importantly what to avoid.
- Start with your favorite game, but try also new ones. Online casinos offer a variety of games.
- If you are a newbie try each game betting the minimum for a few rounds.
- Always remember, gambling is about having fun! Nothing is compared with that feeling of winning and collecting your money! Master your gaming style and strategies!

A few weeks ago De Chant wrote in his blog, Per Square Mile, about a research paper he had come across that presented some interesting findings about how trees can be an indicator of income inequality. De Chant explained it in his post:
"[F]or every 1 percent increase in per capita income, demand for forest cover increased by 1.76 percent. But when income dropped by the same amount, demand decreased by 1.26 percent. That's a pretty tight correlation. The researchers reason that wealthier cities can afford more trees, both on private and public property. The well-to-do can afford larger lots, which in turn can support more trees. On the public side, cities with larger tax bases can afford to plant and maintain more trees."
It got De Chant thinking about whether it would be possible to actually see income inequality from space. So he did some googling. And he found that not only was it very easy to spot in cities across the United States, it was also evident in cities around the globe. See for yourself. Click HERE to read more!
