Eric Maruscak's Brief Bio
I am an illustrator, cartoonist, and concept artist who started getting noticed on the convention scene back in the summer of 2006 when I appeared at the Wizard World 10th Anniversary Chicago convention. There I recreated Michael Turner Wizard covers in the form of a giant chalk mural outside of the Rosemont Convention Center. Since then I have made my huge chalk murals at numerous Wizard World Shows, several New York Comic-Cons, and New York Anime Festivals, 2 appearances at the Baltimore Otakon, plus the Toy Fair, the Penny Arcade Expo, and more. You can see a lot of the work at my website: www.pepperink.com.
What inspired you to become an artist?
My first love was actually newspaper comic strips. As a child, I would sit and recreate drawings from the comic section, trying to get Garfield or Peanuts characters to look just right. I grew up during the perfect storm of Bloom County, Calvin and Hobbes, and The Far Side, when newspaper strips were a must-read every day and you didn't want to miss a moment of the story. My dream job was to make my own strip, and I put years into the study of the cartooning art form.
It helped that Johnny Hart (creator of BC and the Wizard of Id) lived in my home town, and meeting him at a number of public events kept my dream thriving. They even held the BC Open golf tournament nearby, and for several of the events, huge names in the comic industry came to the tournament, including Jim Davis (Garfield), Mike Peters (Mother Goose and Grimm), Mort Walker (Beetle Bailey/Hi and Lois), and Dik Browne (Hagar the Horrible). It really was amazing to experience this and meet these artists during my formative years.
After that, I taught cartooning classes at local museums and through school programs, and tried for years to make it as a successful cartoonist. But the sheer number of people out there fighting to make those few spots on the newspaper page was my biggest obstacle. I moved on from that initial dream to other art forms, and found inspiration in fantasy art and comic books. To this day, my cartooning background heavily influences all of my drawings, and I can't seem to get away from that heavy line work or the exaggeration of my subjects.
I find it really interesting that things have come full circle now; that almost anyone can make a strip and self-publish as a Web comic. Some of the best artists today are working in that medium.
What's your all-time favorite comic issue or series?
When I was young, my older brother and his friends followed The Avengers, and I remember us playing as those characters in the neighborhood. I always wanted to be Vision; I thought he was just so damn cool. Then for years I didn't collect or read comics at all.
Some good friends of mine followed comics more closely than I, and they were the ones who turned me onto the Secret Wars mini-series when it came out, and that got me back into reading. It was all she wrote, and I collected something like 40 to 50 titles monthly for the next few years. I have to admit, I was mostly a Marvel guy, reading The Incredible Hulk, Fantastic Four, Avengers, X-Men. I even collected most of the original New Universe series (which, at the time, I honestly thought was great and was sorry to see it go) and some other short-run classic titles like Strikeforce Morituri.
I stopped collecting about the time of the collapse of the speculator market in the early 1990s (I could only take so many variant foil covers). Now I follow more of the smaller titles, and stick to the trades (sorry to all the purists out there) with things like Hellboy and The Walking Dead. But I've never forgotten the amazement and thrill of that original Secret Wars mini-series—the epic scale, the huge cast, the planet-shattering powers. For me, Secret Wars will always be my all-time favorite, I think.
Who are your favorite artists working today?
Alex Ross, simply one of the most talented artists out there. His attention to detail, the stunning realism, and his massive body of work put this one right at the top of the list.
Mike Mignola, for his incredible sense of design, his fearless use of black, and his unmistakable style (plus we share a love of the supernatural, so I am always drawn to his work).
Dale Keown is an amazing penciler, and one of the most underrated artists out there; his complete mastery of light sources in his cross-hatching line work is stunning.
Joe Madureira can make anything look cool. A single character pose from Joe can be more dynamic than a lot of artists' full splash pages.
Also, since my natural drawing style is more exaggerated and stylized than a lot of the "realism" some comic artists strive to achieve, I am always pulled to artists like Gabriel Ba (The Umbrella Academy), Duncan Fegredo (Hellboy: Darkness Calls), Humberto Ramos (Runaways), Skottie Young (Wizard of Oz), and Juanjo Guarnido (with his "Disney meets Film Noir" art on Blacksad).
Looking forward, what would be your "dream project"?
Since most of my work is known through conventions and chalk murals, some of my dream work would be cover art for the more major (or even off-beat) titles. I have delved a lot into digital painting and concept art in the last decade, and would love to get the chance to illustrate some full-color cover work and create some digital paintings. I also follow Manga and anime quite a bit, and wouldn't mind getting more into those markets with some off-beat stories and illustration work.
But by far, my dream (like so many artists) is to create my own long-form graphic novel, handling all of the work from cover to cover. My work as a graphic designer over the years has given me a strong understanding of printing and design, so I would love to write, illustrate, color/paint, and design my own graphic novel for publication. I have so many characters, ideas, and stories I would love to tell, and I really don't think there is any part of the process I couldn't tackle. So I would enjoy the challenge of creating a full-blown piece of artistic work that could be discovered and enjoyed by people for years to come.
What would you be doing if you were not in comics?
I think I would be a concept artist for the video game and film industry. I am a huge fan of work from people like Andrew Jones, Daniel Dociu, Jon Foster, Marko Djurdjevic, and others who have mastered not only traditional media, but digital painting and art creation as well.
I would love the chance to work at creating environments, characters, and machinery from scratch; world building from the ground up to be explored and experienced through interactive media. It is an art where you have to think much more about form and function, the culture and history of what you are illustrating, on top of light sources and color palettes.
One of my earliest favorite painters was Ralph McQuarrie. The iconic images he created were as much of what brought Star Wars to life as was George Lucas's imagination. The best in the business ground their work with a sense of understated realism, and I could see myself gravitating towards that very easily if I didn't have the wonderful over-the-top fantasy of comic books to explore.
What advice would you have for aspiring artists looking to break into the business?
Never stop, of course. Never give up. It is daunting and overwhelming, and it can beat down your confidence at times to see how much great, amazing work is out there, how many talented artists fight for exposure, and what you have to overcome to get noticed.
That being said, there is a place for your style. Don't work at being the next "so-and-so;" work at being a distinctive YOU! Find your voice, and do everything you can to get it to appear as clearly and undistorted as possible in your work. Somewhere out there is someone who has a need for that voice, and they will find you if you keep putting yourself out where you can be seen.
And finally, be nice to EVERYONE! Treat everyone with the same respect and honor that you would want shown towards you. I like telling about my transformative convention experience. I was at Wizard World Philadelphia pounding the aisles in "Artist Alley," having a typical weekend hearing a lot of "that's ok" and "you really need to work on this" directed at my portfolio. It was tough, but I kept showing it around. Near the very end of the last day, I was showing my work to a great artist named Franchesco, (you'll see why I totally owe him this shameless plug, so please check out his website), and he came across one of my superhero chalk murals from an arts festival. Without hesitation, he spun my portfolio around, showed it to the guy who had been standing next to me for a little while, and said, "He should make these at conventions."
Turns out that the man next to me was the director of Wizard World Tours at the time, and he dropped a business card in my hand saying it was a cool idea and to get in touch. It took two months of phone calls and e-mails to arrange it, but that was how I got my first gig making a mural at a show. I had no idea who this guy was when I was standing in the aisle at the show, but Franchesco was nice enough to give me a plug, and it led to eventual appearances all over the country!
Be nice to everyone. Networking is so important, and, really, everyone deserves to see the best you, and not an "egotistical artist" version who thinks they have nothing to learn and are ready to be famous.
Anything else that you would like to share?
I think it is a crime that some of the best illustrators in the world today are working in the medium of comic books; that it is still seen as immature kids stuff by a large portion of the population, and is therefore discredited. Even with blockbuster movies, story lines in popular video games, and entire sections devoted to the trade in bookstores, the comic medium still has limited crossover appeal.
Let people know how good some of this stuff is—how well-written, incredibly drawn, and superbly crafted comic work can be. Spread the word, people, spread the word!
And finally, I'll be doing a huge chalk drawing of the Alex Ross poser featuring Iron Man, Thor and Hulk at C2E2 in Chicago the weekend of April 10, 2010. (editor's note: now that C2E2 has come and gone, Eric has posted the full time lapse video on his website, it is a MUST SEE!)

Stronghold Deluxe
PC Game | English | 6/21/2002
Genre: Strategy, Real-Time, Historic
Stronghold is a historic real-time strategy (RTS) game developed by Firefly Studios in 2001. The game focuses primarily on breakdown and expansion owing to military pursuits, but also provides space for economic strategy and development. There is both an economic and a military campaign to be played and both are discussed in the game manual. The game takes place in Medieval Britain nearly the time of AD 1066, though, since there is not always a time limit, scenarios can continue hundreds of years further than that date.
In order to survive, the player is required to construct a castle, build the individual buildings, and build castle walls and towers. The player is also left to establish which buildings are vital and which can be left outside the castle (worst case scenario) to be ruined in the event of an attack. There are also options to make soldiers to defend the castle, and to eventually attack and defeat an enemy.
In order to make a stable economy and draw collectively resources, the player is required to maintain a positive popularity level with his peasants; failure to do so will result in peasants leaving the castle and subsequent economic collapse. Housing is required to attract new people and house the current population. Having too many houses can result in too many peasants to feed, which eventually leads to the collapse of the stronghold.
There is a limited amount of peasants the player can have at one time, directly proportional to the amount of housing. The player continue to produce peasants at a rate proportional to popularity – a negative popularity results in people leaving, even as a positive popularity results in new people coming. By association, the actual rate of incoming people is directly affected by how well loved the player is: a high popularity results in new peasants pouring in, even as a lower (but still liked) popularity results in new peasants at a slower alacrity.
Popularity can be maintained by keeping adequate housing, keeping low taxes, setting high food rations, having a supply of ale and encouraging religion. Popularity can also be affected by the creation of structures to inspire dread or like: facilities of torture and execution will increase hand efficiency but reduce popularity and military units\' effectiveness, presumably due to terrible morale, with the inverse being pleased facilities: parks, statues, and shrines will increase popularity and combat effectiveness, but reduce hand efficiency.
The game differs from many other similar games as the player is required to process and refine raw resources owing to a number of facilities before they can be used for a certain purpose. To make an army, a player must not only have free peasants, but must process the resources required for their weapons owing to appropriate workshops, very than simply spend the resources required at a barracks. For model, some resources, like wood, require only a peasant to chop down a tree and turn the logs into lumber. The lumber can subsequently be used for buildings, or can be taken to a military workshop to be refined into a bow.

A local anesthetic is injected into your skin, and then a longer needle is inserted into the spinal canal. The doctor will check the needle's position by means of a fluoroscope (x-ray camera) which is connected to a TV monitor. After collecting a small sample of spinal fluid for routine analysis, the doctor injects contrast media (dye) into your spinal cord to help see your spinal cord and nerve roots. This contrast media is an iodine solution that is absorbed and excreted from your body within the next day or two.
While the dye is in the spinal sac, the technologist will adjust the table "head up" or "head down" so that the dye can move to the examination area. The doctor watches this movement on the fluoroscope and takes individual x-ray pictures for later examination. You will be sent to have a CT scan for more detailed pictures of the spine.
After the resting period you will be given home instructions and be allowed to go home later the same day. You will need somebody to drive you; otherwise, you may be asked to spend the night at the hospital. Take it easy for the next day or two, lying with your head elevated slightly, as much as possible.
If you have any questions, ask your health care provider or call the Mercy Imaging Services: 641-428-7200or 1-800-433-3883, ext. 7200.

Product Description
Fiberglass Restoration System
Three steps to brand new-looking fiberglass!
Meguiars Fiberglass Restoration System is a specialized system to clean, polish, and protect fiberglass gel coat boats and RVs. Using Meguiars surface care technology, you can erase years of wear and restore a like-new gel coat finish.
Gel coat finishes can fade and oxidize just the like the clear coat of a car. The difference is that gelcoat is harder and can be tougher to correct.
The products in Meguiars Fiberglass Restoration System are formulated specifically for gelcoats.
This three-step system restores the color and shine of the fiberglass, plus imparts a durable layer of protection. Your boat or RV is in good hands with Meguiars.
Step 1: 16 oz. Meguiars Marine Oxidation Remover # 49
Meguiars # 49 is a heavy duty cleaner for the stains, oxidation, and scratches that affect older fiberglass gelcoats. Oxidation Remover eliminates the chalky, cloudy signs of oxidation and restores the vibrant color to the gelcoat. Most scratches, stubborn stains, and water spots will disappear, leaving only smooth, shiny fiberglass.
Step 2: 16 oz. Meguiars Marine RV High Gloss Polish # 45
After using #49, you�ll want to restore the optimum gloss to the gelcoat. Meguiars High Gloss Polish # 45 nourishes the gelcoat with oils to enhance its luster. High Gloss Polish is nonabrasive. To draw a parallel with car care, # 45 acts more like a pre-wax cleanser that boosts the shine before the application of wax.
Step 3: 16 oz. Meguiars Marine RV Pure Wax # 56
The last step is Meguiars Pure Wax # 56. This rich carnauba blend deepens and maintains the gloss created by Meguiars High Gloss Polish. Pure Wax�s special formula is enhanced with polymers and resins to form a tough barrier against salt water, UV rays, and environmental contaminants. Use it to protect and beautify your boat or RV.
Meguiars Fiberglass Restoration System is proven safe and effective on fiberglass gelcoats. This is an excellent kit to bring the color and gloss back to a dull boat or RV finish.
The products in Meguiars Fiberglass Restoration System can be applied by hand or machine.
For the large surfaces of a boat or RV, we recommend the
Porter Cable 7424XP dual action polisher
. This machine covers a lot of area quickly and gives you added muscle for removing oxidation. Don�t forget to stock up on
Cobra Microfiber Towels
to buff your boat or RV to a brilliant shine!
Turn back the clock on your aged boat or RV with Meguiars Fiberglass Restoration System.
System includes:
16 oz. Meguiars Oxidation Remover # 49
16 oz. Meguiars High Gloss Polish # 45
16 oz. Meguiars Pure Wax # 56

With 2015 round the corner, new trends are expected to emerge for different kinds of marketing. Social media marketing is no different as well. While some of the older trends will continue to rule, new social media trends are expected to occur as well. And they are likely to dominate the online marketing world for some time.

(From the article): Creativity to be the Key to Success
No matter how much you are spending time on social media, it won't fetch any result until and unless you are creative. You cannot expect the audience to react in an excellent manner to messages that are cliché and old. Instead, try to think something out of the box. Be it on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, or any other platform, you will have to design the content in a manner as creative as possible. And once it is creative, the content is sure to be unique enough to attract numerous viewers.
Most of the major social media platforms, such as Twitter and others, are likely to remain relevant in 2015 as well. However, marketers will need to pay out more money to make their advertisements appear on platforms, such as Facebook. Hence, companies need to significantly increase their budget for social media marketing for 2015. Besides, they will also be focusing more in 2015 on using social media as the perfect platform for driving business revenues.
Momentum Factor's curator insight, December 23, 1:24 PM
Here's another list of trends we should expect to see in social media over the next year. Many of these have already come to pass, such as the rise of Instagram, or video becoming more popular... Still, there are a couple surprises...
Have you ever heard of Maslow's hierarchy of needs? It's a useful concept for sales and marketing to create better connections and relationships with prospects and clients. Abraham Maslow wrote a paper in 1943, "A Theory of Human Motivation" and subsequent book, Motivation and Personality, where he summarized the 5 needs most people search for. The more basic needs are represented at the bottom of the pyramid.

(From the article): Brands Will Need to Cut Through the Clutter
Although articles and long-form blog posts will remain important, Renée Warren, president and CEO of Onboardly, believes more companies will start to emphasize visual and audio content.
"As far as getting attention and cutting through the clutter, creative videos, interesting podcasts, and variations of visually appealing data representation like infographics and SlideShare presentations will be the big winners," she says. "Repurposing content will be at an all-time high in 2015."
With 2015 just around the corner, it's time to take a look at the growing collaboration trends that will affect the way you work with your team this coming year. While some are merely logical extensions of ongoing trends, a few may surprise you.
donhornsby's insight:
It's the time of the year when predictions for the coming year are thrown around like popcorn. The following article contains a number of important trends for anyone working with a team - or collaborating with others.
(From the article):Email Superseded by Social Collaboration Tools
As early as 2010, Gartner was predicting that 20% of business users would choose social networking solutions over email as the main channel for communication and collaboration by 2014. With modern business growing more social in nature, that transition has come, and many companies are introducing cloud-based or internal social collaboration solutions.
Here at Wrike, we've long said that managing projects via email is not ideal; there's a loss of context when information is consumed in fragmentary replies. There's a tendency for duplicated information as multiple people respond to one email thread. There's a lack of visibility into how a project is faring, forcing managers to spend time manually gather status updates from each contributor.
Project management and social collaboration software solves the email problem by giving users tools to stay on top of projects and make communication more efficient between team members. That's not to say email is dead. Rather, it will go back to being used as a direct communication tool instead of a platform for project management and collaboration.
As with any social network, the answer to the perennial question of what to post on Google+ depends entirely on your social media goals.

donhornsby's insight:
(From the article): Myth #7: You Aren't a Thought Leader If You Use Third Party Content. Truthfully, I can see why digital marketers would initially think this. When I first heard of curating content, I thought the same thing. However, I quickly learned that this could not be further from the truth. Curating third party content actually does make you a thought leader for several reasons:
You show honesty: you show your audience that sometimes your influencers can write something or present something better than you. You can't always be the best at everything, and that is OK.You can actually connect with said influencer by mentioning them on Twitter when you link to their article or content piece and get them to potentially follow you, thus building a very valuable connection.You build credibility with that third party source, and possibly attract more third parties that want to share the content that you create.Curating influencer content helps build your brand, which can lead to gaining a new audience that respects your thoughts.
As you can see, curating content does not make you take a backseat. It is an opportunity to build credibility with both your audience and your influencers.

Instead of being the company that ignores such concerns, take note from KLM, a dutch airline that is a veritable rock star in terms of social media customer service.
With #HappytoHelp as their tagline, KLM boasts a lightning fast response time of just 32 minutes, and a clock on their Facebook page updates every five minutes to let consumers know how quickly their needs will be addressed. This strategy is effective because customers are in the know about where they stand in line and recognize the dedication to service right off the bat.

Via Anita Windisman
donhornsby's insight:
(From the article): The point of LinkedIn isn't to amass a large number of connections that you ignore. The true value of your network is in the strength of the relationships you build with individual connections. It can feel good to connect with people, but what good are connections, really, if you never engage with them?
As is the case with real-world relationships, LinkedIn connections should be nurtured over time with regular engagement. And there are plenty of opportunities to stay in touch, and it can be as simple as commenting on a status update or clicking "like" on a work anniversary notification.

donhornsby's insight:
(From the article): SEO is slow. I can't think of a slower form of marketing. IT takes a long time. It took me seven years to rank high for Chicago Web Design.
Again, question three is "can I make the best page on the internet for that topic?" Can I really write something great? Is it worthy of ranking? Google has 2,000 math PhDs on staff. You're not going to trick them. You really have to make something great and deserving of rank or else, why bother? So, as you write that great piece of content on the topic, focus on the reader, be legit, write something good.

Drain question
Hi all! I just got a breast lift/augmentation and a tummy tuck with lipo 12 days ago. I had the procedure done out of my home state and had to travel home with my drains still in from the tuck/lipo. One of them came out today, and the other is beginning to fall out. I don't knoe if it was the pressure from flying, but it did cause problems during flights. I was down to draining at about 50cc in the last 24 hours. When my breast drains came out they were draining about the same. Should I be concerned and try to find a surgeon to put them back in here at home, or just remove the second one? At what point (cc level) should they have been removed? Any insight or experiences would be greatly appreciated! :)
I had the same type of surgery on June 28 - still have 2 drains in. My doc won't take them out until each one is draining less than 30cc's over a 24 hr period. Did they suture your drains in to keep them in place? Mine are so they cant fall out on their own (i wish they would though!!). Anyway, one is hardly draining & the other is still putting out 50-65cc's over 24hrs. Ugh! I can't wait for them to come out.
I havent had my surgery yet but my doctor said he would take the drains out after 7 days

Intense Abs and Cardio Workout - Bodyweight Cardio and Abs Workout
Calorie Burn
Workout Details
Working on getting a flat stomach is usually on the top of everyone's body wish list but most people think that just doing abdominal exercises will get you the stomach of your dreams. Unfortunately that is not the case, as core exercises just don't burn enough calories to burn the fat off of your stomach.
You need to incorporate other high calorie burn exercises such as cardio and strength training to make sure you are cutting down on that fluffy layer of fat that is keeping those toned abs hidden. So, instead of having to do two different routines, one for the stomach and another for fat loss, we have put together this cardio and abs routine to tackle body fat from two different angles at the same time. Not only does this workout train your abdominal muscles but it will also push up your metabolism with cardio to burn more calories and fat.
This routine is intended to be done only once a day 3-4 times per week but it can easily be coupled with other workouts to get even more of a calorie burn. If you only have one time per day that you can workout then adding another workout to this 13-minute routine will help to burn more calories. We suggest adding another workout such as a HIIT routine or some type of strength training to really focus on burning calories at an elevated rate and boosting your metabolism for the next 24 to 48 hours. However, if you have the time to break your workouts up (one in the morning one in the evening) then you could get even more of a passive calorie burn by bumping up your metabolism twice in one day. It may only end up causing an extra burn of 20-80 calories (depending on the length and intensity of your workouts) as compared to doing both workouts at the same time, but an extra 80 calorie burned, five days a week adds up to an extra 5.5 lb of fat loss over the course of a year on top of the weight loss from other workouts that you do.
So what about the actual burn associated with this workout? Though the energy expenditure fluctuates throughout this workout, the average burn is around 8-12 calories per minute giving this workout a total burn of 104-156 calories in this 13-minute routine.
Workout Structure
In this routine we have put together 8 different exercises, 4 of which are cardio exercises and another 4 that are abdominal exercises. Each follows a Tabata style, time based set of 20 seconds of the exercises followed by 10 seconds rest. Each exercise is done three times through with the above cycle before moving on to the next exercise.
Since this workout starts with relatively intense movements you should incorporate a warm up before you begin and be sure to do a proper cool down and stretching after you are done.
Jumping Jacks
Toe Touch Crunches
Reverse Lunges + Kicks
Plank Walks
Squat Hops
Figure 4 Leg Lifts (alternating)
Broad Jumps + 3 Hops Back
V Pulse Crunches
Quick and fairly easy, but definitely got me sweating!
I started this workout and it stopped working a couple mins into it..any solutions??
just finished it! Likey!
I loved this! A tad harder than Cardio Standing Abs but not so hard I thought I was going to pass out. A great way for me to lose my muffin top. I would definitely like to vote in for more of these Level 2/3 exercises. I was getting a little bored with the three you had and then you guys added this gem! We lazy exercisers thank you for it!
love this workout its better than having to go to the gym and you dont need any equipment
This workout is great. I'm having the hardest time burning that little bit of fat off the top of my abdominals. Is there anything a little extra I can do to shed it off??
just finished..definitely let me sweat..
I love this workout program round 2!!
Does this work on obliques?
short,sweet and definitely gets you sweating

Los Medanos ADN Fall 2012
0Jun 4, '12 by extreme motivationYay!! I got accepted to LMC for Fall 2012. Anyone who is currently in the program have any comments on the program??
I applied to various colleges around the bay area and got accepted to Merritt as well. I am also on the alternate list for Ohlone Spring 2013. I'm weighing out my pros and cons to the school that I choose. I'm a little torn because Merritt has a 100% NCLEX pass rate; however, comments about Merritt are all negative. I currently live closer to Merritt but am skeptical about their reputation.
So, views on LMC ADN program is greatly appreciated.
0Jun 5, '12 by Caffeinated RNI'd have a hard time believing that you would regret LMC. As much as I want to pull my hair out sometimes, I wouldn't choose any other ADN program. If you'd like specifics, feel free to PM me
0Jun 7, '12 by DReinerMBALMC has one of the best reputations in the SF Bay Area. You will find it opens many doors when it is time to get a job, compared with others.
0Jun 9, '12 by extreme motivationThank you so much for your input.
0Jun 9, '12 by extreme motivationI tried to pm but it won't let me. Actually, I was more excited to hear I was accepted to LMC because I haven't really heard bad comments about their program; however, since I have choices, I did want to look into both of the schools I was accepted to.I just attended orientation for Merritt and honestly, it was inspiring because they had some students who just graduated and made it through their 1st year speak with us, but to tell you the truth, I was already leaning towards LMC.I'm sure I will soon be along side of you pulling out my hair. Thanks for the input.
0Jun 10, '12 by Caffeinated RNI would definitely put into consideration the facilities you would be doing clinicals at as an important factor, and how much clinical time and help you'd get both in the classroom and at the sites. Our program also does a 4th semester preceptorship that not all programs have.
0Jun 22, '12 by extreme motivationHas anyone received their packet that contains information about background check and additional deadline requirements?
0Jun 23, '12 by DReinerMBASure hope they included the flyer to those accepted regarding the meet and greet on the 14th. The Scrubs Store will also be there to presale your scrubs.
0Jun 23, '12 by extreme motivationWell, in the handbook it says we're supposed to receive a packet within two weeks upon receiving our returned conditional acceptance form. I even had my TEAS transcript sent as well. Will they ket us know they received it? If I don't get anything by next week, I guess I will have to give them a call.

Older sheet flooring products: example of floors that do not contain asbestos
This sheet flooring covering backed with burlap fabric is probably more than a century old.
We examined it in an non-public area of the Justin Morrill Homestead, a historic building in Vermont.
The material has not been tested for asbestos fibers, but where we see what is obviously a jute backing it's not likely that the product contained asbestos..
The possible origin of this product is discussed at 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 1900 to present.
Photos of Vinyl Asbestos Floor Tile Laboratory Examination
In the lab, following Walter McCrone's procedure for teasing out asbestos particles from solid materials such as this floor tile, we broke a small corner off for further examination by microscope.
Tiles are broken, not cut, in order to expose asbestos fibers for removal, slide preparation, and microscopic examination using transmitted, reflected, and primarily polarized-light central stop diffusion microscopy.
See our ASBESTOS FLOOR TILE IDENTIFICATION PHOTOS by YEAR for our full list and set of photographs.
This stereo-microscopic view of the edge of this asbestos-floor tile shows the combination of binder, limestone, possibly asbestos powder as well as asbestos fibers, and other silicate materials.
See ASBESTOS FLOOR TILE LAB PROCEDURES for a detailed example of how small floor tile samples may be processed in a forensic laboratory to look for asbestos fibers in the matrix of a floor tile such as our example at left.
Re the brown "Asphalt asbestos floor tile C" above, I have similar tiles and have an original box without the word Asbestos on it. If I send you a picture and the name, would you be able to tell me if it contains asbestos? - M Ziver 8/16/11
M. Zilver, depending on the year or age, indeed there were epochs in which both asbestos-containing and non-asbestos-containing lookalike flooring was produced. If we can recognize the product with confidence I'd be glad to say so; or we can give further advice about testing. I'd like to see photos of the tile pattern, tile back if there are any markings, all markings on all sides of the packaging, and in addition I'd like to know the tile size and its thickness. We look forward to hearing from you. Use the CONTACT link to send me photos.
Question: Possible asbestos-containing floor tiles in a school, questions about proper handling
Hi. I have a question about asbestos in floor tile and its removal. I work at a public school and the school had a contractor come in to remove some flooring that was starting to "buckle up" in some areas due to water seeping underneath it. When the contractor came I happened to be around and I asked him before he started if the tile could be asbestos (the school was built in 1952). He looked at it and said it wasn't 9x9 inch, and he was'nt sure what was underneath it yet, so he could'nt say for sure.
When I started at the school I was made aware by my boss that there is asbestos tile underneath the carpet in the classrooms, but he didn't mention the hallways, where this work was going to be done.
I kept a watch on the contractors as they were removing the tile flooring, (I stayed a safe distance from them...like outside the building through a window). I noticed they used no masks and there was no plastic barriers put up inside the building. They were breaking the tile up though because I noticed them shoveling it up and putting it in the big 55 gallon plastic barrels used for garbage.
They stayed for about 2 days doing this. When they were done they left these filled barrels of the tile for us to dump! I didn't want to be involved at all in their dumping! My boss came though and he said he needed my help in dumping the barrels in the outside container for garbage. I REALLY wanted nothing to do with this and I panicked inside. I was afraid though to ask about its safety. When we went outside to dump them I kept my distance as much as possible.
When we dumped the first barrel I held my breath and we dumped it quickly and a HUGE bunch of dust went into the air. I stepped far away and let the dust clear. I then asked if he had any kind of face mask. He did, but only the N95 kind. I put two on and some goggles. We then dumped the rest. My question is, what are the chances that the flooring contained asbestos, and if it did, would'nt the contractor and our head supervisor that ordered the work know about the flooring? - Mike 8/22/11
Question: floor tiles below asbestos in a 1950's house may contain asbestos
I was pulling up some carpet in my basement today and found that there is tile on the floor beneath it. That didn't seem like a problem to me except in one corner the tile came up with the carpet and there is a green tile beneath that. The house was built in 1950. should I be concerned that the green tile has asbesto in it?
Don from the age of materials you describe it's a good chance you have one or more layers of asbestos containing floor tiles, though of course I can only speculate with so little information.
Question: How can I identify various other brands and product numbers of floor tiles that might contain asbestos?
Do you know if the SEARS brand HOMART 64-7169 asphalt floor tile contained asbestos? - Paul Wright 9/22/11
Have you heard of Dura Floor Plastic Asphalt Tiles? Do they contain asbestos? - Jo Lynn Judka 10/24/11
I have 12" x 12" tile in the basement just like the pattern San Roque Gold 57161 from 1980.
Is there a way I can forward someone a photo of a school floor to determine if it contains asbestos? I am unable to get back into the building It is closed, but the school dept wants to open it again and is saying that there isn't a problem. I looked through the tiles on your site, but oculdn't find an exact match. The school was built in 1950-1960, but we have no evidence that the tiles have been replaced. Can you help? -
we have an armstrong floor tile (black color) with the following numbers on the back L4 1230 021898. We don't know the year it was installed. Does it contain asbestos? Is there a way to cross reference these numbers? - Dan 5/1/12
We have the San Roque pattern sheet vinyl. Did Armstrong use the same patterns at a later date for their sheet vinyl but without asbestos? We have already started to remove it and I am concerned. - Sue 10/24/2012
We have vinyl sheet flooring that was put in about mid 1984. Is this anything to worry about? When exactly was asbestos banned in the manufacture of sheet flooring? - Peter 11/6/2012
David, naturally by email alone no one can say with certainty whether or not a floor tile contains asbestos, but if your flooring matches one of the ACM floor tiles we illustrate here, AND if you are confident about the age (as you suggest) most likely it is an asbestos-containing product. And yes, for sure there were some peel-and-stick floor tiles that contained asbestos in the tile baking.
JoLynn, sorry we don't have information about DuraFloor plastic asphalt tiles. Do you know the age of the product? You're welcome to send us photos (see the CONTACT link at top, side, bottom of our pages), and I'll research further. Certainly up to the early 1980's many asphalt floor tile products contained asbestos.
Dan, while we have published product and lot numbers for some floor tile products, there are just too many of them, thousands. Unlike mechanical equipment like water heaters or furnaces, I have not found a standard of correlation between product numbers and date of manufacture, though it probably was included in widely varying ways by individual manufacturers.
Question: dealing with unknown floor tiles
I purchased a co-op built in the 1950's. I need to put down a new floor. The last layer of flooring is green 9x9 vinyl tiles. The pattern looks close to seneca white but the background is light green with dark green pattern.
There is black tarry stuff underneath. The tiles are extremely thin. I ripped out the tiles and the plywood underneath them in the corner about 18" square.
The super told me to leave it alone as it might be asbestos, but all the contractors who have seen them, seem not to be worried about ripping up the tiles. I would feel better to play it safe and just floor over them. How do I e-mail a picture to you? - Jeanie in Queens NY 11/13/2011
I have a early 60's home with both bathrooms having what appears to be a solid surface material poured over a greenish felt. The flooring is tan with colored flecks in it throughout. I have looked for the material but haven't found any info. Does anyone know what it is? Is it possible that this material contains asbestos? - Dan 1/10/12
the tile in the place I work appears to be asbestos tile. there are some squares that are damaged, and appear to be chipped out. there are small particles, chunks, etc. in the place where the tiles are missing. is this a danger to us? - Lynn 1/12/12
I want to renovate this ranch soon and am not sure what the tile is and who do I call? I want to renovate this ranch soon and am not sure what the tile is and who do I call?Ceiling tile is from 1940 - Jo 2/7/2012
I have an old ranch home w/ sheet lino.x2 layers, over OSB board, over another type of flooring over old hardwood. From what I can see so far. The hardwood has blunt square ends, and is about 3-4" wide and appears to have paint on it. I know there is some rot in that area and would need replacing from reclaimed wood. My question is what is the best way to remove all the lino and OSB and floor below that to get to the hardwood? I know it's going to be labor intensive but not sure how to go about it. - Tracey 2/13/2012
Utility room floor installed 1971 is Armstrong Excelon vinyl asbestos place and press tiles. Some of the tiles are loose. they are whole..just loose. Please recommend what glue to use to re-install them. - Anne 2/13/2012
I work at a Petland Discounts location that's over 20 years old. I've gotten severe breathing problems at this store. The floor polishing company comes in and polishes the floor every month and there is this thick dust in the air and then it gets all over the products. I am concerned that it contains asbestos. There are also many broken tiles in the store. - Despina 5/22/2012
In my kitchen we have a sub floor, then asbestos tiles, then another sub floor and then a layer of linoleum flooring down. We want to lay another floor down but our floor is already up an inch with everything on it. We want to removed the whole flooring but have no clue how we should go about doing this without getting the asbestos in the air. It is also laid in our hallway and our whole basement. Thank you so much for any help you can provide. - Gigi - 6/11/2012
I was going to put new ceramic tiles in the kitchen floor, but when I removed the transition between the wood floor and ceramic tiles I saw vinyl tiles under the kitchen floor. My question is how I would know that the vinyl tiles are asbestos or not? - Mike 7/10/2012
i removed floor tiles by hand that look very similar to some of the ones you have pictured on your web site about 9 years ago. basically i used an old grill spatula to peel them up off of the cement floor. i did use a dust mask but i was unaware at the time that some older floor tiles contain asbestos. do i have anything to worry about? - Joe 8/1/2012
Hello I scraped up a tile floor in my house and I now fear that it was asbestos. The backing is black not white. It did not grind to dust, but it came off in pieces. The floor is covered in the black backing still and I don't know how I should remove this. Should I be concerned about removing this part? Also I suspect these tiles continue into another room under a rug. I would like to remove them eventually if possible. What do you recommend? - Mandy 10/29/2012
My husband and his family were doing some remodeling on a home we just bought (built in the 1930's). When I stopped by the house i saw that they had ripped out the old flooring in the kitchen and bathroom. Underneath the old carpet and flooring were 9x9 squares that were on top of the original hardwoods. I freaked out because i remembered hearing something about 9x9 tiles and asbestos on hgtv.
These squares are black, but they are flexible, almost like a thick paper or a cardboard rather than a hard tile. We arent sure if it is just some sort of backing, or an asphalt asbestos tile. They had already spent the weekend tearing most of it up and it is all over the place right now. any info/suggestions etc would be very greatly appreciated. - Jennifer 10/29/2012
Asbestos-containing flooring in good condition does not have to be removed from a building, and worse, inept removal can create a much greater hazard than leaving most asbestos materials in place.
Asbestos was widely used as a filler in both asphalt-based and some vinyl based floor tiles of varying thicknesses, and extending to some thin, flexible self-adhesive backed tiles as well as some sheet flooring.
See ASBESTOS FLOOR TILE IDENTIFICATION PHOTOS by YEAR for an extensive photo guide to asbestos-containing flooring materials.
We recommend taking a look at the suggestions found at ASBESTOS FLOORING HAZARD REDUCTION
Comment from reader: anonymous:
Hey Joe there's always a "risk" when removing anything that has to do with Asbestos. I understand that you probably didn't take caution at all with the removal and you probably weren't wearing the proper protection. There's two things that could be red flags. 1. I'd be worried if you were a constant to heavy smoker. 2. I'd also be worried if you've done this type of removal many times before or after without protection. The only way to know for certain if true damage has been done is tell your Doctor or care provider about this incident and ask for their advice.
Question: did asbestos flooring come in just tiles or also in roll or sheet flooring?
Can the asbestos flooring come in tiles only or does it come in a role? - P.H. 12/31/12
Asbestos-containing flooring was sold in both individual floor tiles and in rolls of sheet flooring. But just as with vinyl or plastic floor tiles, not all flooring contains asbestos.
LINOLEUM & Other Sheet Flooring includes examples of sheet flooring that often did not contain asbestos. To treat floor coverings in asphalt-based floor tiles or sheet flooring, or vinyl (plastic)-based floor tiles or sheet flooring, it is reasonable to treat flooring sold in the year ranges described in the article above as PACM (Presumed Asbestos Containing Material).
Also the mastic or adhesive used to install flooring may also contain asbestos. Keep in mind also that very often it is not necessary nor even recommended to remove PACM floor coverings. But if conditions require that it be removed, see ASBESTOS REMOVAL GUIDE, FLOORING.
Question: radon system installation drilled through presumed-asbestos-containing floor tiles: how much of an asbestos hazard has that created?
We had a radon abatement system installed in our basement laundry room before we moved in. During our home inspection, the inspector told us there might be asbestos tiles in the basement. We confirmed this is probably the case, even though there is a new floor down there, because under the hot water heater you can see a redish tile (you can't tell the size), followed by a layer of concrete, followed by the new vinyl tile (current day).
To install the radon system they drilled a four inch diameter hole through the floor and then another 4 inch hole through the brick and mortar of the wall to the outside. Now I'm concerned about the asbestos that may have been released into the air from the disturbance.
I've been told there wouldn't be a lot of asbestos released into the air from an event like this one because of the small surface area. Is this true? Also, I've been reading that amphibole types of asbestos were used in mortar as well. If it was just chrysotile from the vinyl tile then it would be less concerning than the "worse types" of amphibole asbestos. However, perhaps they also used amphibole types of asbestos in vinyl tiles? Btw, the house was built in 1948. - B.B. 2/07/2013
With the reclama that no one can perform an environmental risk assessment by email, in general, the total dust created by a single hole drilling event should be quite small compared with projects involving demolition of a floor.
It is reasonable to treat the flooring as presumed-asbestos-containing material (PACM); as virtually all of the old suspect floor has been covered, in normal use and occupancy the remaining asbestos-exposure risk to occupants is probably beneath detection.
If you wanted to investigate the asbestos dust risk created by drilling a hole for the radon abatemetn system more scientifically you'd collect what you think is dust left undisturbed from and settled near the area where the work was performed. Send that dust sample to a certified asbestos testing lab and ask them to screen it for you. You can use the procedure at MOLD TEST KITS for DIY MOLD TESTS [Do not send your sample to us.]
Air testing is probably less reliable at this juncture.
Question: is your asbestos floor tile photo library exhaustive, and is the old black floor tile adhesive also a hazard?
I am emailing you after reviewing your very informative website. I have a question about the tile in my basement. We are looking to renovate the space and are concerned about the tile possible containing asbestos. I live in new Jersey and my house was built in 1964. A form of asphalt tile was glued down in either 1964 or 1965. After reviewing your website and the photo section. I do not see our particular tile shown.
My question is: Is your photo gallery all inclusive of tile containing asbestos? The tile can be popped up without breaking any of the tile. Would the adhesive used in laying the tile also contain asbestos? It seems to be a black tar like substance. I would be able to send you a picture of the actual tile if that would be helpful.
Thank you - your question is helpful to me too.
No my photo lib of asbestos containing tile is not exhaustive, though it's the largest one that's been published. There are some companies for whom I cannot find a comprehensive catalog showing all of their tile patterns (Armstrong was the most thorough), and there are companies out of the U.S. whose catalog data is even more scarce. But given how these products were made, it's reasonable to treat old asphalt-asbestos and vinyl-asbestos floor tiles of the appropriate age range as "PACM" or presumed-asbestos containing.
Nobody should panic about this flooring - doing so can result in spending inappropriately. But at the same time some caution is in order such as avoiding making a dusty mess by grinding, steel power buffing, and incompetent demolition. As well, in public spaces such as schools additional regulation may apply.
Where the floor is in good condition there are low cost options that help minimize the risk of asbestos release such as hard coatings.
For floors such as the one you describe, where whole tiles pop up, one can remove such tiles with minimal disturbance of the tile itself, thus minimal asbestos dust release.
But you are right to worry about the tile mastic or "glue" that was used: indeed some mastics, particularly the black asphaltic mastic, often contained asbestos. Asbestos fibers (and possibly asbestos dust filler) were widely used in asphalt-based mastics, glues, and in roof flashing cements. The same caveats apply: if you avoid making a dusty mess you will minimize the risk and hazard of asbestos. We have published wetting guidelines and flooring removal guidelines citing expert sources to help minimize risk as well as cost.
If you are facing a costly demolition job then it may be appropriate to have both the mastic and a section of floor tile tested by a certified asbestos testing lab. The cost is usually around $50./sample or less. If you have other specific questions please let me know. Working together makes us both smarter.
Please keep me posted on how things progress, and send along photos of the flooring you described as well as where it's popped up showing the asbestos if you can. Such added details can help us understand what's happening and often permit some useful further comment. What we both learn may help me help someone else. And by publishing a photo of your unidentified floor tile we invite other readers to comment if they know the pattern, age, and manufacturer.

In Motherhood Rescheduled by Sarah Elizabeth Richards, women and men are torn between the potential joys of parenting and the inevitable loss of freedom. Say, the freedom to stay up late reading a book that you really enjoy, without worrying that you will oversleep and take your child late to school the next day. That is what happened to me while I was reading this book. I was dipping into it now and then, and then finally I got caught up in the stories of the women and could not get to sleep until I found out how things resolved for them.
In her late thirties, the author found herself in a relationship with a man she loved who was uncertain about having children. So, she froze her eggs to buy them more time to decide – at a price of more than $10,000. She wrote the book about her story and the stories of other women who made the same decision, for various nonmedical reasons. (Egg freezing was originally developed for women undergoing chemotherapy and other life-saving medical interventions that might damage their eggs.) Interspersed with the personal stories is a description of the scientific evolution of this technology, the scientists who moved the technology forward, and how it moved from being an experimental procedure to one that is considered not experimental, although still certainly not as routine as a Pap smear. (Here's a New York Time op-ed in which the author describes the book.)
