Repair Basement Concrete Support?

Repair Basement Concrete Support?
Hi. My basement is unfinished, with a concrete floor. There is a block of concrete 6'w x 6'd x 2'h, cemented to the floor. The furnace/AC/blower is resting on the block.
Through what I think is age and constant vibration, the block has become cracked. The cracking has gotten worse over the past few months.
I think I should build a wooden scaffolding around the cement pad (cover the wood with a disposable plastic tarp), and pour new cement in/on the cracks and let it set to re-strengthen the block.
Since I have no idea if that will actually work, I am here.
Can anyone add comments and ideas? I need to address this before the slab comes apart.

cute. does that crack extend through the concrete pad (floor) or is it just the furnace block?
if just the block, know this is probably due to vibration and uneven weight of the HVAC combo. I'd band it with some of that stainless steel pallet banding, and before tightening, shoot a little polyurethane caulk/fill in there. leave the band on. somebody will probably need to lean on the furnace to raise one side slightly as you tighten.
if through the pad, I'd get a pastry bag full of red-bag sand mix, 5000 pound test stuff, and fill the cracks until they bulge, then wipe level with a putty knife or trowel.
sig: if this is a new economy, how come they still want my old-fashioned money?
Dec 05, 2013, 12:53 PM
Thanks for the fast response.
It is just the block that has the crack.
I will look into pallet banding, hope they have such a thing at Lowes/Home Depot.
Dec 05, 2013, 08:51 PM
It's not supporting any real load, just the weight of the furnace in compression. It's painted, so any repair can be easily covered.
No need to get too fancy with this. Inject some epoxy to help hold the pieces together then fill with a two part epoxy filler. The banding is a good idea but may or may not be needed.

DHS Should Reevaluate Mission Need and Alternatives before Proceeding with BioWatch Generation-3 Acquisition
GAO-12-810: Published: Sep 10, 2012. Publicly Released: Sep 12, 2012.

What GAO Found
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) approved the Generation-3 (Gen-3) acquisition in October 2009, but it did not fully engage in the early phases of its acquisition framework to ensure that the acquisition was grounded in a justified mission need and that it pursued an optimal solution. Critical processes in the early phases of DHS's framework are designed to (1) justify a mission need that warrants investment of resources and (2) select an optimal solution by evaluating viable alternatives based on risk, costs, and benefits. BioWatch program officials said that these early acquisition efforts were less comprehensive and systematic than the DHS framework calls for because there was already departmental consensus around the solution. Without a systematic effort to justify the need for the acquisition in the context of its costs, benefits, and risks, DHS has pursued goals and requirements for Gen-3 with limited assurance that they represent an optimal solution. Reevaluating the mission need and systematically analyzing alternatives could provide better assurance of an optimal solution.
The performance, schedule, and cost expectations presented in required documents when DHS approved the acquisition were not developed in accordance with DHS guidance and good acquisition practices--like accounting for risk in schedule and cost estimates. BioWatch program officials said that DHS leadership directed them to prepare information quickly for the 2009 decision, which was accelerated by more than 1 year. Since DHS approved the acquisition in October 2009, the estimated date for full deployment has been delayed from fiscal year 2016 to fiscal year 2022, and the original life cycle cost estimate for the 2009 decision--a point estimate unadjusted for risk--was $2.1 billion. In June 2011, DHS provided a risk-adjusted estimate at the 80 percent confidence level of $5.8 billion. Comprehensive and systematic information developed using good practices for cost and schedule estimating, could help ensure more reliable performance, schedule, and cost information for decision makers.
Several steps remain before DHS can deploy and operate Gen-3. First, DHS must conduct additional performance and operational testing. This testing--estimated to take 3 years and cost $89 million--is intended to demonstrate full system performance, including the information technology network. To do so, the BioWatch program must address testing challenges including limitations on the use of live pathogens, among others. Following operational testing, DHS intends to decide whether to authorize the production and deployment of Gen-3. If Gen-3 is approved, the BioWatch program plans to prepare for deployment by working with BioWatch jurisdictions to develop location-specific plans to guide Gen-3 operations. DHS estimates show that about $5.7 billion of the $5.8 billion life-cycle cost remains to be spent to test, produce, deploy, and operate Gen-3 through fiscal year 2028.
Why GAO Did This Study
The 2001 anthrax attacks brought attention to the potentially devastating consequences of a biological attack. DHS operates a program, known as BioWatch, intended to help detect such an attack by airborne pathogens. The currently deployed technology can take 12 to 36 hours to confirm the presence of pathogens. DHS has been pursuing a third generation of the technology that will perform automated testing, potentially generating a result in under 6 hours and reducing labor costs.
GAO was asked to examine issues related to the Gen-3 acquisition. This report addresses the extent to which (1) DHS used its acquisition life cycle framework to justify the need and consider alternatives; (2) DHS developed reliable performance, schedule, and cost expectations; and (3) steps remaining before Gen-3 can be deployed. GAO reviewed acquisition documentation and test results and interviewed agency officials from the BioWatch program and other DHS components with development, policy, and acquisition responsibilities.
What GAO Recommends
GAO recommends that before continuing the acquisition, DHS reevaluate the mission need and alternatives and develop performance, schedule, and cost information in accordance with guidance and good acquisition practices. DHS concurred with the recommendations, but not the implementation timeline. DHS plans to proceed with the acquisition while implementing them to avoid further delays. However, GAO believes the recommendations should be enacted before DHS proceeds with the acquisition as discussed in this report.

Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Open
Comments: In December 2013, DHS finalized an Analysis of Alternatives, prepared by an independent entity--the Institute for Defense Analysis. We are in the process of evaluating the extent to which it addresses the recommendation.
Recommendation: To help ensure that Gen-3's public health and risk mitigation benefits justify the costs, the program pursues an optimal solution, and DHS bases its acquisition decisions on reliable performance, cost, and schedule information developed in accordance with guidance and good practices, we recommend that before continuing the Gen-3 acquisition, the Secretary of Homeland Security should ensure that program and acquisition decision makers reevaluate the mission need and systematically analyze alternatives based on cost-benefit and risk information, using information from studies like those conducted by the Homeland Security Institute and Sandia National Laboratories, along with any other risk and cost information that may need to be developed.
Agency Affected: Department of Homeland Security
Status: Open
Comments: When we confirm what actions the agency has taken in response to this recommendation, we will provide updated information. Status last updated March 14, 2014.
Recommendation: To help ensure that Gen-3's public health and risk mitigation benefits justify the costs, the program pursues an optimal solution, and DHS bases its acquisition decisions on reliable performance, cost, and schedule information developed in accordance with guidance and good practices, we recommend that before continuing the Gen-3 acquisition, the Secretary of Homeland Security should ensure that program and acquisition decision makers update other acquisition documents, such as the Acquisition Program Baseline and the Operational Requirements Document, to reflect any changes to performance, cost, and schedule information that result from the reevaluation of mission needs and alternatives.

Slightly Sourdough Almond Butter Biscuits with Cacao, Orange & Tart Cherries
- Details
- 36 Comments
This biscuit is truly a collaborative effort. I modified a recipe from The Joy of Vegan Baking, by Colleen Patrick-Goudreau by replacing the vegan butter with almond butter, trading out the AP flour for whole wheat and kicking in some sourdough starter – which came from the kitchen of Amanda of Good Clean Food. The delicious spice blend comes from a sourdough pancake recipe that I veganized (and that failed miserably for me). I continued the team effort by accompanying the biscuits with some tasty finds from other blogs: a pumpkin version of Kristy's Sweet Potato Pecan Butter and a steaming hot Pumpkin Spice Latte courtesy of Happy Healthy Life.
One year ago today: Smoky Apple-Sage Seitan Sausage & Red Onion Marmalade Sandwich
One year and one day ago: Yeasted Buckwheat Waffles with Cranberry-Date-Apricot Sauce
Slightly Sourdough Almond Butter Biscuits w/ Cacao, Orange & Tart Cherries
Makes 9 or so
1 2/3 cups whole wheat pastry flour
1 tbsp. baking powder
pinch salt, if desired
1/2 tsp. spice blend (or just sprinkle in some cinnamon, allspice and cardamom)
2 tbsp. maple sugar
1/3 cup sourdough starter (if you don't have starter, use 2/3 cup almond milk, total)
1/3 cup almond milk
1/3 cup almond butter
1/4 cup cacao nibs or semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup dried tart cherries
zest from 1/2 an orange
Line a baking pan with parchment and preheat the oven to 475F.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, spice blend and maple sugar. In a small bowl, whisk together the sourdough starter and milk. Set aside.
Mix the almond butter into the flour mixture and then pour the sourdough mixture in and add the orange zest – stir or use your hand to bring the dough together. Add more milk if necessary. Add in the cacao nibs and the dried cherries.
On a floured surface, pat the dough into a square or circle and cut into pieces. Place on the prepared baking sheet leaving an inch or so between biscuits. Brush with almond milk, if desired. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until brown on the outside.
Oh wow! They look amazing. The name of these biscuits captivated me! Very impressive.
Thanks, Ally! I was very pleased that I could successfully substitute nut butter for the vegan butter.
You're so creative Annie, these look great!
Lots of inspiration from other folks for this one!
These look so good! I love the idea of using sourdough starter in other baked goods besides just plain bread.. it ads so much awesome flavor!
Ooo great concept!! I wish I was eating this right now for breakfast..
I think I killed my sourdough start when we were all sick and I didn't do any baking for nearly 3 weeks. Not making bread this week either. I'll have to get Amanda to get me another start so that I can make these ASAP when the challenge finishes! They look AMAZING. xx
I no longer have my sourdough starter either – used it up cuz I knew I couldn't travel with it ;-).
It was good stuff, too. Sigh.
Looking lovely Annie – amazing to see inspiration from so many sources come together! XO
Seeing what other folks are cooking and eating keeps me motivated and inspired in the kitchen!
That so is what keeps me going as well!
That was quite the collaboration! It looks and sounds yummy and reminds me that I've been wanting to start a starter. Thanks for the great ideas.
You're welcome, Patty!
I "have" a starter…his name is Herman…he is doing penance on my pantry shelf in his dehydrated and vacuum sealed prison till I forget about what he "didn't" do… I have been very tempted to reanimate him on several occasions…Looking at some recipes I get very excited and think "Herman…you might just be moving out of stasis REAL soon…" but then I remember the slaveatude…the buckets of excess sourdough and the vinegar bricks… and Herman stays on the shelf! A few more recipes like this and I am going to have to give Herman another go against my better judgement!
Oh my gosh! You speak the truth! Sourdough is a HUGE commitment! I was coming up with any way I could think of to use the blasted stuff ;-)! It's wonderful, but one must know what she's getting into!
Or "out of" as in my case ;). Herman often pleads his case as I am plucking sauces, condiments, spices from the pantry shelf but I have been steadfast and resolute…so far…BUT I found a very interesting article on olde timey sourdough and how to reduce the "sour" (which has Steve backing away from my vinegar bricks even more than the texture!) thanks to ye olde wagon people in the Wild West…I just want a starter that raises my bread, gives me edible bread and that doesn't require me to wear it in a baby sling around my neck for the rest of my life (while it breeds exponentially!)…maybe I just need more physical friends than online ones!
I am not a big cherry fan, but this looks REALLY good!
Cranberries? Apricots?
These look delicious! I love cranberry and almond together.
Yum! That looks amazing
Thanks, Sandy! Appreciate you stopping by and commenting!
This is great! I've been needing more ways to use my starter. Yay!
That's the challenge of starter, isn't it?!
Those look delicious Annie! I love all the inspiration! I bet they smelled amazing!
It was fun putting it all together from recipes I'd been eyeing :-)!
Oh these sound amazing…. bummer I just killed a batch of starter, BUT this recipe is the best motivation to get another batch going. Love this flavour combo…. dribbling a little.
You know you've had a good idea when a reader salivates at the NAME of your post. Wow. These sound heavenly. Great collaborative inclusive effort – you're all geniuses (geniusi?)!
These are pretty much my dream biscuits- the pumpkin almond butter (thank you for the mention, by the way!), the sourdough, the cherries, the orange, the cacao nibs! I swoon over all of these ingredients, but combined in a one beautiful biscuit? I'm kind of in love.
I would probably down the batter before it hit the oven. Almond butter, and almond milk and cherries? and orange? yeah why turn on the oven.
Awesome invention Anne I can just imagine how good that must be with a hint of sourdough -yum!!
Love it!
Oh my goodness, Annie. I just made these for breakfast and they were heavenly!
And now they are… gone.
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Thank you! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
You made them?! That made my day, Nicole! So happy that you like them! xoxo
How could I not? They're delish!
Waw, Annie! these look just fabulous, divine & wonderful at then same time!

|Is it possible to refit an old craft stove fireplace insert with a new blower apparatus. My friend tried for a long time to find a new blower for the insert and finally gave up and threw the blower and pipe that went into the insert away. The insert itself is still in great condition. How could she get a new blower apparatus built or purchased for it.
Thanks so much for any help! It's been a really cold winter and it would be so nice to get that insert going.

I would let "Google" be your friend.
You have contacted your local Craft Stove store? Surely parts are available. Get your insert's mdl number.
Here is a link that sells parts.

|If it's the same as mine, you can purchase the whole blower assembly from Amazon. Mine had a 4C447 motor, which is no longer available, but search for the 1TDR3 replacement. The only hitch is that you can no longer use the rheostat with that new motor; you'll have to wire in an on/off switch. HTH

Kempt Man of the Hour: Johnny Depp
*Photographed by our fearless lensman, Patrick McMullan.*
Johnny Depp has come up with some pretty iffy outfits in the past, and yet he's always managed to do so with a certain panache that saved the day, sartorially. Nonetheless, we far prefer it when he takes a more classic approach, as he did with brilliant results as the premiere of his new movie *Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street* this week.
There was just the right touch of Todd in his ensemble: a vintage, custom-made, slim-cut, black wool 1940s wide-lapel double-breasted suit with subtle cranberry and grey stripes and "Hollywood" waist trousers, from top-drawer online vintage boutique Kakkoii Mono's well-curated men's collection. He topped it off with a bespoke black dress shirt with a high stance collar, and a rich solid red silk tie and pocket square from Brioni, chosen to play off the red stripes in the suit. And of course he stuck to the scruffy leather boots he wears without fail just to let us know he's still a rakish bohemian at heart.
Depp is a devoté of the Midwest-based Kakkoii Mono, which is Japanese for "cool things"; owner Ellen Flanz tells us they're planning to expand the men's collection and shift the focus to gentleman's clothes, which is good news for all of us.

The E15 struggle continues with an announcement by the EPA today that E15 (a fuel made up of 15 percent ethanol and 85 percent gasoline) is safe to use in Model Year 2001-2006 vehicles. Last October, the Agency said that 2007 or newer vehicles could safely use the biofuel, and that kicked off a lot of discussion on the safety of the biofuel and a series of lawsuits. Read more on that here.
The ethanol industry and the EPA have also been fighting over a new warning label that would appear on E15 pumps. The EPA's noticeable orange sticker is seen above right, while the less aggressive proposal from the ethanol industry is on the left side. Now that E15 has been given the go-ahead, we're sure someone will have some sort of response soon. Oh, wait, there already is one. The AP quotes Craig Cox of the Environmental Working Group as saying, "It seems like corn growers and the ethanol industry are the only real winners here."

Posts from Crackers
34 Degrees Cracked Pepper Crisps
Faith's Daily Find 12.05.14
34 Degrees Cracked Pepper Crisps
• $21 for 6 boxes
• Amazon.com
I was munching these crackers with cheese the other night and I realized I've never given them a shout-out! They are strong enough to dip, but extremely light and thin, so they make the perfect accompaniment to cheese and dips, when you want a cracker that's delicious but not filling. I especially like the spicy Cracked Pepper flavor. Grab a wedge of gooey triple-cream cheese and these and it's a party. (These are easily found at many grocery stores, but Amazon's price is the best, if you're willing to buy a few boxes at once.)
Recipe: Savory Oatmeal Cookies
Recipes from The Kitchn
I'm more of a savory girl than anything else. It's not that I never eat dessert, but I like a sprinkle of sea salt on my chocolate and herbs steeped in my ice cream.
So after a kick of eating savory oatmeal for breakfast — olive oil, parmesan, cracked pepper — I asked myself what would happen if I tried making an oatmeal cookie that was more savory than sweet? Not as a dessert, but as a snack, or something to serve before a meal?
Why Is My Rosemary Olive Oil Flatbread Not Crunchy?
Good Questions
Recipe: Breath-Freshening Dog Treats
Pet Recipes from The Kitchn
Like most beagles, ours has a major weakness: food in any form, especially dog treats. He goes crazy for these homemade biscuits, and little does he know, they help with his doggie breath, too! With a mix of whole-grain flours, healthy fats, and pooch-friendly, breath freshening ingredients, they're great to have on hand for your favorite four-legged friend.
Crackers & Dips by Ivy Manning
New Cookbook
It was really only recently that I discovered the simplest crackers ever and I still haven't quite gotten over how crazy-good they are. Now this new book from Ivy Manning has come along and broken the universe of homemade crackers wide open for me! Whether the aim is a healthy afternoon snack or a fancy cracker appetizer for our next dinner party, Ivy Manning shows us how to make crackers for each and every occasion.
A Surprise From Carr's: How I Fell In Love With Their Whole Wheat Cracker
The Cheesemonger
This week, a continued conversation about the best kind of cracker for cheese. Since I prefer serving cheese with bread, a cracker's got to carry a certain kind of special quality if I'm going that route. And these most certainly do. Surprisingly, though, I passed them by for years, not knowing exactly what they were all about.
How To Make Crackers at Home
Cooking Lessons from The Kitchn
Have you ever tried making your own crackers? Your very own crispy, crunchy, seed-topped crackers? My recommendation: try it. Definitely. Crackers are surprisingly easy to make at home with just five basic ingredients, a rolling pin, and a baking sheet. Make yourself a quick batch tonight and have homemade crackers for lunches, snacks, and dinners all week long.
A Tasty Treat: Fig and Walnut Crackers
I work online for much of the day, and by mid-afternoon I usually start to feel a little fried from staring at my laptop screen, and in need of a pick-me-up. I've been trying to create a more structured break time, a jause if you will, with a pot of tea or cider, and a small plate of something savory. I think these crackers—made with figs, walnuts, and flaxseeds, and perhaps smeared with a little bit of goat cheese or a dollop of apple butter—are calling my name.
Cute (Not Scary) Halloween Snack: Cheese Crackers Shaped Like Ghosts!
Confession: I am not the world's #1 Halloween fan. Call me a wimp, but I just don't do well with scary things, even if I know they're fake. So while I applaud the ingenuity of the spooky foods showing up all over the internet right now, they also sufficiently creep me out and thus keep me out of the kitchen. But these homemade cheese crackers, courtesy of our friend Olga from Sassy Radish, are just my kind of Halloween treat: more cute than scary. Friendly ghosts! Plump pumpkins! Benign bats! (Well, at least I'm determining they are.)
Gluten-Free Snack: Sesame Parmesan Crisps from Kitchen Table Bakers
Have you ever hosted a gluten-free guest and felt unsure what to serve along the cheese and crackers? I'm a big fan of the delicate baked Parmesan crisps served at restaurants—gluten-free, simple cheese flavor, with a substantial crunch. They're easy to make at home, too, but when I'm pressed for time baking up a batch is not going to happen. Enter Parmesan crisps. Made entirely of Parmesan cheese, they're a great complement to any appetizer spread.

Assistant Professor, Family & Community Medicine
Dr. Lisa Cassidy-Vu is a specialist in family medicine. Below is a brief profile about her:
Lisa Cassidy-Vu, MD Family and Community Medicine 1920 West 1st Street Piedmont Plaza I, Winston-Salem 336-716-WAKE or 888-716-WAKE
Medical Degree: University of Cincinnati College of Medicine Residency: Moses H. Cone Memorial Hospital (Family Medicine) Fellowship: Women's Hospital of Greensboro (Obstetrics) Board Certification: American Board of Family Medicine
Question: What brought you to Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center?
Answer: My husband and I wanted to get back to North Carolina because we loved our four years here for residency and fellowships. Dr. Coates offered me a position which allowed me to continue to practice obstetrics and teach residents - things I'm very fond of.
Q: What are your clinical specialties?
A: My specialties are adolescent medicine, obstetrics, family medicine, women's health and newborn medicine.
Q: What is your patient care philosophy?
A: Don't forget to laugh. I think humor is key to healing and better health. I feel I let patients down if they don't have a smile on their face at some point in their visit.
Q: What do you enjoy most about working with patients?
A: The most rewarding aspect for me is when patients really take control of their medical problem with only encouragement from me and no medication. I also enjoy being the first to see and hold a newborn during delivery and then watching a new mom shed tears of joy over her baby.
Q: What type of volunteer or community activities are you involved in?
A: Right now my children take up most of my free time. I work at our Southside Health and Wellness Clinic once a week, and in the past I've helped at the Community Care Center (Centro Clinico) and gone on medical missions to Honduras and Guatemala. I also try to participate at social functions at my church, St. Leo the Great.
Q: What fun facts should we know about you?
I love to eat Vietnamese food (my husband is Vietnamese). I enjoy gardening, especially flowers. I'm also "green" - so much so that colleagues and residents make fun of me for reminding them to recycle, double-side their photocopies, turn off lights, etc. Our nurses laugh when I pick plastic bottles out of the trash to recycle. The chief residents two years ago bought me a "Wake Forest Tree Hugger" shirt.

She spends a lot of time just listening to my concerns and is very warm and encouraging.

She is a fantastic doctor and genuinely cares about my health. I really cannot say enough good things about her, she is the best!
Dr. Cassidy-Vu is amazing! I generally communicate with her through mywakehealth and she is quick to respond and address any concerns I have. Our entire family uses her as our PCP and we love her!

She's super!
I think she is awesome.

The Best Kid-Friendly Crafts for Tu Bishvat
Happy Tu Bishvat, the Jewish birthday of trees! This is a great holiday for making kids aware of the earth and all its bountiful beauty. If you've got some free time with the kids today, we rounded up a few craft projects you can do to get them in the "tree state of mind."
1. Have a forest fiesta! Break out the paper, glue, buttons, and paint and create a forest with your kids. These two projects will leave you with a pretty play dough garden, and a landscape of paper trees. (Mum Paints Lives)
2. Make some cardboard leaves with stencils and paints! Get crazy and do some finger painting–there are many techniques you can use with this one. (Creative Jewish Mom)
3. Since we celebrate Tu Bishvat by eating fruit, that means there's definitely room for chocolate fruit! Check out these yummy/easy to make "Tu Bishvat fruit plates." (Chabad)
4. This 3D cardboard tree is an easy craft that looks super cool. All you need is some cardboard tubes and decorating materials. (Joyful Jewish)
5. Here's another project you can eat (best kind)! Raid the supermarket for all different kinds of colorful fruit, and create a fruit mandala.
6. Let your little ones get their hands dirty by planting parsley. You'll need a small flowerpot, potting soil, parsley seeds, and markers! Best part? It will be ready just in time for your Passover seder.

(Get the inside "scoop"!)
Sign in now for the latest white papers on discovery learning.
Not an Insider? Join Now!
A business game is a competitive activity in which players operate within structured guidelines, contend with obstacles, make decisions and work toward a goal. As challenges arise, players interact with one another, individually or as part of a team, to win. A game board often is the centerpiece of the activity, incorporating components such as chips, dice, card decks, timers and more to keep the action lively.
Our business games place small teams of learners into simulated business situations that require complex critical thinking, effective communication, strong cooperation and high levels of initiative. As competition heats up, players have fun while acquiring the critical business skills and knowledge they'll need back on the job.
A business simulation replicates a slice of reality from the work environment. It compresses time and allows learners to experiment with new tools, concepts, skills and ideas in a safe environment. A business simulation promotes intense engagement of learners in ways that ensure high involvement and help make the learning content transfer to the job.
Our carefully designed business simulations are powerful and effective learning programs that use proven discovery learning methodology to educate learners in many subject areas. Often customized to meet the specific needs of clients, these simulations form the foundation of learning experiences that bridge to the organization's — and the learners' — own environment and relevant job issues.
As 2015 approaches, learning & development (L&D) needs are being re-evaluated to find providers offering effective solutions that engage talent... Read More

Review of the 2010 HUMMER H3
If buff, Tonka Truck-inspired styling and incredible off-road ability are your two top priorities in your next vehicle, the 2010 Hummer H3 is tough to beat. The other 95 percent of you, however, will likely be turned off by the poor fuel economy, poor outward visibility and relative lack of utility offered by this SUV.
- Safety
Capable off-road performer, smooth ride on pavement, straightforward cabin layout, comfortable seating.
Lackluster five-cylinder performance, poor outward visibility, tight on cargo space and rear headroom, lousy fuel economy, unknown future of the Hummer brand.

Full 2010 HUMMER H3 Review
What's New for 2010
For 2010, the Hummer H3 sees only minimal changes � the lower portion of the front bumper is now dark gray instead of silver, the 5.3-liter V8 adopts flexible-fuel capability and the H3X package is renamed the Appearance package.
It doesn't seem that long ago when Hummers were the preferred status symbol of the celebrity set. Somehow, it was deemed cool to pilot the massive, 3-ton, gas-guzzling H2 SUV through crowded city streets on the way to Hollywood premieres and expensive restaurants. Hummer soon expanded its lineup to include the baby brother H3, which offered similar looks to the H2 but with a much lower price tag, a more reasonable size and a less gluttonous fuel appetite.
Then gas prices shot up and driving a Hummer became about as cool as having Kanye West host the Grammy awards. Making matters worse is the planned sale of the Hummer brand, which has left the future of the brand in limbo. Still, the 2010 Hummer H3 soldiers on, giving those who can't resist the Hummer's admittedly eye-catching Tonka Truck styling a chance to own a brand-new one.
Impressive off-road capability is still Hummer's forte, and the H3 doesn't disappoint. Short overhangs, generous ground clearance, massive tires and available locking differentials make it a force to be reckoned with on rugged trails. But the reality is most of them will never see anything more rugged than the edge of a soccer field.
In the end, there are just too many sacrifices made here in the name of style and off-road capability to make sense for most folks. With its small windows, the H3 provides outward visibility about equal to a Brink's truck, while its nearly 5,000-pound curb weight (that's nearly as much as a Tahoe) is too hefty a load for the standard five-cylinder engine. Yes, the Alpha version offers a powerful V8, but its thirst for fuel is second only to some celebrities' thirst for attention. On the upside, the H3 does provide a smooth ride and comfortable seating for four adults, though cargo capacity is on the meager side for this segment.
So yes, the 2010 Hummer H3 may be a good choice for those who venture off-road regularly or are so taken with its unique styling that they can live with the shortcomings. However, its rivals -- whether purpose-built machines such as the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited and Toyota FJ Cruiser, or more traditional SUVs like the Jeep Grand Cherokee or Nissan Pathfinder -- offer greater overall value, performance, efficiency and quality for most consumers.
Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options
The 2010 Hummer H3 midsize sport-utility vehicle is available in two basic models: the base five-cylinder H3 and the more powerful Alpha.
The standard H3 features 16-inch alloy wheels, full skid plates, hill-start assist, air-conditioning, cruise control, foglamps, keyless entry, OnStar, Bluetooth and a six-speaker CD player with satellite radio. The Alpha model adds a V8 engine, polished 16-inch wheels, leather-trimmed seating and steering wheel, carpeted floor mats, heated and power-adjustable front seats and a universal garage door opener.
A Luxury package outfits the base model with many of the Alpha's extras plus a Monsoon audio system with a six-CD changer, while the Appearance package dresses up the H3 Alpha with a chrome fuel-filler cap, wheels and roof rack, plus other goodies. A sunroof, special metallic paints, a navigation system and a rearview camera system are also available.
Hummer H3s are offered with two suspension packages to suit different terrain requirements. The standard Z85 heavy-duty handling and trailering suspension provides more balanced on- and off-road performance, with 32-inch all-terrain tires and different rear-axle gearing. The optional Off-Road Adventure package is designed for more aggressive off-pavement capabilities, with taller 33-inch tires, specially tuned shock absorbers, a cast-iron front differential case, locking front and rear differentials and shorter transfer-case gearing for maximum control during hill climbs and descents. It also adds some of the Luxury package's items, like a power driver seat and the upgraded Monsoon sound system.
Powertrains and Performance
All 2010 Hummer H3 models are equipped with full-time four-wheel drive and a two-speed transfer case. The standard engine is a 3.7-liter inline five-cylinder that generates 239 horsepower and 241 pound-feet of torque, backed by a standard five-speed manual transmission or optional four-speed automatic. Acceleration is lackluster thanks to the H3's nearly 5,000-pound weight, and the maximum towing capacity is rated at a modest 4,500 pounds. EPA estimated fuel economy checks in at 14 mpg city/18 mpg highway and 15 mpg combined with either transmission.
The Alpha model picks up the pace with a 5.3-liter V8 cranking out 300 horses and, more importantly, 320 lb-ft of mass-moving torque mated to a four-speed automatic transmission. Overall performance is noticeably improved, with 0-60 sprints in the 8-second range, and maximum towing capacity shoots up to 6,000 pounds. As expected, estimated fuel mileage suffers further, rating 13 mpg city/16 mpg highway and 14 mpg combined.
Antilock disc brakes, traction control, stability control, hill-start assist, OnStar and full-length side curtain airbags are standard on all H3s.
In government crash testing, the 2010 Hummer H3 scored a perfect five out of five stars for driver protection and four stars for passenger protection in frontal impact tests. Side-impact testing resulted in five-star protection ratings for both front and rear passengers. In Insurance Institute for Highway Safety tests, the Hummer H3 earned a second-highest "Acceptable" rating in both frontal-offset and side-impact crash testing.
Interior Design and Special Features
The H3's cabin is handsome in a utilitarian kind of way, but a bit plain when compared to the Hummer H3's bold exterior design. The available leather seating livens things up a bit with a two-tone color scheme and contrasting piping. Build quality is acceptable, though most rivals offer finer appointments. Also, stereo and climate interfaces aren't as user-friendly as those found in other GM vehicles.
The seats are comfortable, though outward visibility is compromised for shorter drivers and passengers due to the H3's high beltline and low-profile window design. Rear-seat occupants have plenty of room to stretch out once inside, but ingress and egress through the smallish door openings can be a challenge, and taller individuals may find headroom somewhat tight. Cargo capacity lags behind some rivals, at just 63 cubic feet with the seats folded. The cargo-floor liftover is also quite high, but easily accessed though the side-hinged rear door.
Driving Impressions
The standard inline-5 generally manages to keep up with traffic when tooling around town, but the 2010 Hummer H3's near-5,000-pound mass causes it to strain when faced with steeper inclines and high-speed passing situations. The Alpha's burly V8 solves this problem, of course, and is accompanied by a muscular exhaust note and improved throttle response at all speeds.
Off the road, the junior Hummer comes into its element and can overcome just about any terrain you encounter, owing to 9 inches of ground clearance, ample wheel travel, standard skid plates and impressive approach and departure angles. Given this off-road capability, the H3 performs admirably on pavement, with decent stability at speed. The ride is surprisingly smooth and belies the H3's tough-truck nature.

Mixtape Download: Gensu Dean- "Lo-Fi Fingahz" Instrumentals
Armed with a dusty SP-1200 and equally weathered records, Gensu Dean made a splash in the indie rap scene with his debut LP Lo-Fi Fingahz on Mellow Music Group. The record was an uncompromising modern display of tradition—hardcore MC's over hardcore beats, plain and simple. The project was a proud beacon for the old guard, a proclamation that hip-hop can grow but the roots will always be the foundation. Now Gensu and MMG are dropping the instrumental.
Devoid of the MC's that originally blessed the project, the instrumental version of Lo-Fi Fingahz tells the same story with a different strategy. Classic boom-bap is still at the forefront, but without bars over the beats the listener is left to dive further into the sonic structure of the tracks. The LP takes on more of a contemplative tone and the intricacies in The Grand Imperial's production can stand out without distraction. You can notice just how hypnotic a quarter-bar guitar loop can be on "Block Prenup" or zone out to the eerie piano on "There You Have It." At times a chop may bring to mind Primo or Marley Marl or a loop may be a reminder of the legacy of Extra P, Gensu Dean makes it crystal clear as to what class of hip-hop he belongs in.
Gensu Dean is as sharp as his namesake and if there was ever any inclination that the praise he received for his album was due to his impeccable guests, the instrumental version of Lo-Fi Fingahz will put a stop to that noise.

"Nice Guy" List Updates [October 21, 2006]
Filed Under [Adopt a Language of Respect and Equality]: Intent Doesn't Matter To Do List: Tokenism Sucks Integrating Privileged Spaces
Posted in The Privilege List 2 Comments
A Deeper Look at "Minority Spaces"
So, a while back I got an e-mail from a reader about my Nice Guy list. Finding it interesting, I decided to make it the subject of a post. That was, as I said, a while ago. I am nothing if not a procrastinator.
Anyway, the e-mail (reprinted with permission) is as follows:
I read the article "How To Be A Real Nice Guy" and most of the comments to it last night, and I am somewhat confused by what is really a core premise of the article that isn't fully articulated, namely what exactly you are saying qualifies as a Minority Space. The definition given is "Minority spaces exist, whether they be safe-spaces, places where we can go to not have to focus on priviliged groups for once, or even exclusionary ones." This leaves me with a number of questions. For example, is a blog on feminist issues by default a Minority Space by virtue of its subject matter being one of concern to the Minority rather than an issue that caters to the privileged group? Or would there need to be more specific and/or explicit criteria followed for it to constitute a Minority Space? Further confusing me is that certain parts of the article appear to treat the concept of entering a Minority Space interchangably with having a conversation with a member of a Minority.
There is in your article a strong emphasis on the idea that members of a Majority who are in a Minority Space should listen and learn (without requiring active teaching) and refrain from actively participating, and in particular, to be extremely cautious when comparing the experiences of that Minority group to their own as a member of another Minority group and not to compare said experiences at all to the experience of the Majority. I certainly agree that members of a Minority should be free to construct such a space if that is their wish, and there are certain spaces that could be assumed by their very function to be, unless otherwise noted, a Minority Space of this type (eg a rape survivor peer counselling group). But a broad definition of Minority Space that encompasses any space where members of the Minority engage in discussion about issues of concern to their Minority, combined with all members of the Majority who participate following your suggestions (a perhaps unlikely hypothetical) would largely preclude direct discussion between members of the Minority and members of the Majority on those subjects, which would be an unfortunate result.
(Of course, it could be that what I see as the inherent benefits of direct discussion between members of the Minority and members of the Majority- that the insights of all parties, both as individual thinkers and as people with the respective experiences of being part of the Minority and the Majority, will together allow understanding that would not have been possible otherwise- is a viewpoint derived from my position of privilege, and that such discussion is not actually beneficial to the Minority. Nevertheless, I believe that such benefits do exist.)
So, first, the simple answer: a "minority space" is a space created by minority groups, for minority groups. It may allow privileged groups to listen to or participate in discussion, and it may not. It differs from a "privileged space" in that its exclusionary nature is not designed to uphold established power structures (as with gentlemen's clubs and the like), but rather to provide a safe environment for minority groups to discuss issues that are not able to get airtime in "default" spaces due to those spaces being primarily focused on so-called "real" issues which too often amount to issues that the privileged group cares about.
The longer answer to Nicolas' questions will be behind the cut. Continue reading
