|I recently purchased my home. Just noticed that the incoming water line has some funky cast over it like it was repaired. It appears to be leaking a little bit as it and the floor around it is wet. Any ideas about what I have going on here?

|I guess what I really want to know is what I am getting into in repairing it. I wonder why this strange gauze was used, and if the leak goes down past the floor.
|Could be condensation and an attempt to limit it.
- Posted by seattlematt (My Page) on Thu, May 17, 12 at 17:02
|So has no one seen this type of repair before?
I am planning to remove it with a razor blade and see what is inside so that i can attempt repair, just want to make sure I know what I'm getting into.
I can't quite figure out why someone would repair in this way.
|No idea. It will be great if you posted up your findings though, for future searchers!
|As brickeyee said, are you sure there is actually a leak and it's not just insulation to (unsuccessfully) stop condensation?

COREdrive gravel stabiliser
COREdrive Gravel Stabiliser is the core of hassle-free gravel paving for all types of vehicle or pedestrian traffic with no compromise in strength and durability. Part of a natural porous paving system, just add gravel to the interlocking panels of hexagon cells and you have an eco-friendly surface that costs less than asphalt, concrete, or block pavers.
COREdrive solves the problems of aggregates without gravel stabilisation sinking, migrating, and forming ruts. The hexagon cells that make up each COREdrive panel form a rigid honeycomb design that holds gravel in place providing maximum load bearing. The underside incorporates a durable geotextile, which allows water to drain easily and prevents weed growth. All panel edges have an interlocking system that makes for easy installation, even on steep grades.
COREdrive Benefits
- Stabilise gravel. Get gravel to stay put, no ruts, no sinking, no problems.
- Low cost. Because the gravel won't move around you can use less, giving you a porous service that costs less than concrete, asphalt or block pavers.
- Super strong. Enhanced load bearing causes no rutting, separating or sliding with vehicle traffic.
- No weeds. The geotextile backing underneath each panel prevents weed growth.
- It's green. Environmentally friendly porous gravel paving allows the rain to drain over the entire surface.
- SUDS compliant. Because COREdrive is porous it is ideal for solutions requiring a Sustainable Drainage System.
- ADA compliant. Ideal for pedestrians, bicycles, & wheelchair traffic.
- Beautiful. When filled the product is practically invisible, leaving you with a stunning surface that is easy to maintain.
- CORE marker. Easily add parking lines and edge indicators with COREmarker.
Now Available: COREdrive Recycled
Available exclusively from COREgravel UK Ltd, COREdrive recycled panels are made from 100% recycled black polypropylene (PP). With a wall thickness of just 2mm they are practically invisible when filled, unlike most other black stabilisation grids on the market.
COREdrive 38-25 Recycled is the only grid on the market with a cell depth of 25mm capable of withstanding vehicular traffic. Such a shallow cell depth means you can use a lot less gravel, drastically recuding the cost of your installation.

All grids available in black or white
All COREdrive grids are available in white virgin polypropylene or black recycled polypropylene. As you can see, both options are virtually invisible when filled with gravel, even when using a light coloured aggregate.
After installing the COREdrive panels, all you need to do is fill the cells with your chosen aggregate and then add an extra 10mm layer. The grids will then become invisible to the eye, yet keep your surface stable and secure.

KORTENHOEF , The Netherlands / ACCESSWIRE / July 29, 2014 / Readen Holding Corp. (OTC Pink: RHCO) (PINKSHEETS: RHCO) Recently Altembrouck Agri BVBA has taken over the total Wagyu livestock of "De Drie Morgen". The Wagyu of "De Drie Morgen" is genetically unique in Europe. The Wagyu bloodlines of Tajima, Kedaka, and Tajiri are secured and stronger embedded.
With the addition of "Petrus Wagyu", Altembrouck Agri BVBA holds the best genetic breeding material available outside Japan. "Petrus Wagyu" has taken a strong effort to grow their cattle by the best organic standards.
Wagyu beef is known for its exquisite taste, nutritious values and high marbling, it surpasses the USDA prime grade by far and is sold at prices between 300 and 1000 USD. a kilogram.
Altembrouck Agri BVBA has become one of the world's leading exploitations of livestock of Wagyu cattle including its breeding programs. The Altembrouck live stock is from the strongest available bloodlines. Altembrouck Agri BVBA has upgraded animal housing to house 1000 cattle to accommodate the expansion.
Altembrouck Agri BVBA will supply Wagyu Beef to more than 1200 restaurants in Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands including Michelin star establishments. Altembrouck Wagyu estimates its share in this niche market at 30% of the total production of Wagyu in Western Europe by the end of 2014.
Most of the bloodlines outside Japan have been mixed and are now called pure bred or cross bred, Altembrouck Wagyu's goal is to keep a high 100% Wagyu beef standard by a total in house production from breeding to daily fresh distribution and let the Altembrouck Wagyu become what "Beluga" is to caviar or "Cohiba" to cigars.

Confessions of a forgetful heart
Forgetfulness is normal, but it can impact our fruitfulness as believers and our witness to the world.
How do we make sure we are remembering God in a world of distractions? By Lucy Mills
It was a journey, not just an idea.
The strands that came together to form my new book,
Forgetful Heart: remembering God in a distracted world
, did so over time. What they birthed was a book that was in essence personal – coming out of a recognition of my own weakness.
I am chronically forgetful. Ask me what I did last week, or even yesterday, and I'll look like I'm trying to calculate a difficult sum. But I have realised that my forgetfulness goes far deeper than the events of my life and why I walked into the room. (Wait. Why am I here?)
My forgetfulness eats into my identity. I forget who I am. I forget who I am because I forget who God is and forget who God called me to be. Life may hurtle or drag by – but whatever the speed of it, I still forget.
An early believer, I had been a passionate Christian growing up. (I was very sincere. The dog, cat and a succession of hamsters all got read bible stories so they knew what it was about.) A hunger to dig deeper and develop my understanding led me to study at theological college. I loved it.
But a few years after I'd left, it was slipping away. I struggled to see God's moving in my life. I resented lack of time and energy and couldn't work out my role in life. After a while, I no longer felt the urge to learn. I'd assumed things would always stay with me. I had fallen into the trap of 'waiting for the perfect moment' and wasted the moments I already had. I overestimated my ability to retain knowledge, wisdom, even experience.
I look back at some profound moment and – there's that furrowed, confused expression again – it's too hazy. I can no longer make out the definition, the lines. My mind and heart are short sighted, and I didn't fully realise this until so much had already been lost. Buried under other priorities. Elbowed out by busyness, worry and stress. Dominated by fear. I allowed other circumstances to hijack my mind just when I needed to focus the most.
I realised – my memory doesn't work well on autopilot. I need to keep steering, to keep my eyes open. Otherwise I don't understand how I got here. And God – the one I claim to follow – slips out of my sight. I know this. Yet I continue clogging up my life with other, unimportant stuff. Distraction has become my default mode: I struggle to break free of it.
It's not just me. It's a problem for many. Our world is chock-full of distraction. When I've talked to others about this, often I've seen relief in their eyes: I'm not the only one. I'd like this book to reassure people. They are not alone.
Forgetful Heart
explores the nature of our memories and why we forget. Forgetfulness is normal. In acknowledging this, I ask: What are the things we want to remember? What are we choosing to lose, instead of keep? How can we de-clutter our minds to give space to the important things – and people – in our lives?
I'd like the book to challenge people, by explaining why it's so important to remember God and reflect on what it means to live in a state of active recall. This is not a challenge given by someone who is an expert in remembering. The opposite is true! In writing the book, I have challenged myself and hope that others might benefit from my journey.
Forgetful Heart
reflects on the biblical story and its meaning for us. It asks questions about identity and what it means to follow Christ. Biblically, to remember God is deeper than just 'knowing things' but is supposed to inform how we live. So how does forgetfulness impact our fruitfulness as believers and our witness to the world?
Through prayers and points for reflection,
Forgetful Heart
invites the reader to journey toward a deeper kind of remembering. We all learn and remember differently, and we will not all find the same things helpful in this journey to nurture an awareness of God in our lives. The book recognises this and, through inviting a deeper understanding of ourselves and how we 'work', suggests ways we might harness this knowledge in our pursuit of God.
Writing the book hasn't cured me, although it has been part of my own quest to remember. Distraction still blinds me; it's an effort having to look through it all, to seek something deeper. But I know I can never be satisfied with living in the shallows.
I'm grateful that God's memory never slips. I'm relieved that, in spite of my chronic forgetfulness, God always remembers and is ready to help me get back to him.
God, in his mercy, does not forget us.

NASA Media Accreditation Open For Test Flight Of Orbital's Antares Rocket
WALLOPS ISLAND, Va., March 15, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Media accreditation is open for a test flight of Orbital Sciences Corporation's Antares rocket from the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport's Pad-0A at NASA's Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia. Launch is targeted to occur between April 16-18 at approximately 3 p.m. EDT, the day of launch.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20081007/38461LOGO )
Antares is undergoing testing that will enable the rocket to eventually carry experiments and supplies to the International Space Station aboard a Cygnus cargo spacecraft. This test flight will not launch a Cygnus spacecraft or rendezvous with the space station. A demonstration flight of Cygnus to the orbiting laboratory is planned for later this year.
International news media representatives without U.S. citizenship must apply for credentials to cover the prelaunch and launch activities by March 29. Early accreditation is necessary to process international media credentials. For media representatives who are U.S. citizens, the deadline to apply is April 10.Media should email their accreditation requests to Keith Koehler at firstname.lastname@example.com. For questions about accreditation or additional information, contact Koehler by email or call him at 757-824-1579. NASA also is inviting 25 social media users to apply for credentials for the Antares launch. Social media users selected to attend will be given the same access as journalists. All social media accreditation applications will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Registration for social media accreditation is open online. Because of the security processing deadline, registration is limited to U.S. citizens. For U.S. social media, the application deadline is 5 p.m. March 29. For more information about NASA social media accreditation requirements and to register, visit: http://www.nasa.gov/social Orbital Sciences Corp. is building and testing its Antares rocket and Cygnus spacecraft under NASA's Commercial Orbital Transportation Services (COTS) program. After successful completion of a COTS demonstration mission to the station, Orbital will begin conducting eight planned cargo resupply flights to the outpost through NASA's $1.9 billion Commercial Resupply Services contract with the company. NASA initiatives, such as COTS, are helping to develop a robust U.S. commercial space transportation industry. NASA's Commercial Crew Program also is working with commercial space partners to develop capabilities to launch U.S. astronauts from American soil during the next several years.

Punk acolyte Vivienne Westwood is equally snyonymous with her historical-inspired corset gowns as she is those famous bondage pants. Matchesfashion.com bet on the former with a new capsule collection with the Brit icon. Featuring Westwood's signature squiggle print from her "Pirate collection," the four-gown line illustrates the notion of her clothes as "theatrical," in the sense that they are "well-designed and give you a chance to express yourself," according to Westwood. The dresses are modeled by Daisy Lowe, a girl known for her curves, and go on sale on the site today.

NEWPORT BEACH (CBS) — Newport Beach police say responding to false alarms at homes, like what happened at Los Angeles Angels center fielder Torii Hunter's home Wednesday, is routine.
The Angels player had apparently set off his home's alarm by accident, bringing Newport Beach police officers to investigate at 2:45 p.m. Wednesday.
In a series of tweets, Hunter said he saw the officers in the back of his home, so he went outside and "they drew there guns on me," according to his tweet. "They didn't believe I lived here in Newport coast so they walked me upstairs at gunpoint to get my ID."
"When I showed him my ID, he said I'm an angel fan hope u guys have a great season. ARE U KIDDING ME!!!!! Lol," a subsequent tweet said.
Hunter later commended the police officers for protecting his home and clarified his statement about the officers having their guns drawn on him.
"Hey Twitterland! I'm not upset that the cops did their job today. I'm actually glad they were protecting home," Hunter tweeted after about an hour.
"Gunpoint might have been a little extreme. Just guns drawn pointing down," another tweet read.
Newport Beach police spokeswoman Kathy Lowe says that officers respond to 2,900 alarm calls annually.
"We have to treat each call as if it were founded," she said.

"I was not. I have been, I am not. I am so grateful to have participated in life!"
A beloved cousin died yesterday and we, at a Johnson/Smith/Denoo family get together had a discussion about what we want inscribed on our gravesite. I don't intend to have a gravesite, but will have a marker placed on my mother's grave. I want it to be clear that when I die, my mind, body and emotions change into a different form and return to the atoms from which I evolved.

How whimsical!
That poor child.. He probably thinks he will never get another Christmas present....I am sure though his parents,aunts and uncles will prove otherwise...:)
Yes, I do feel sorry for him, but I think it's funny anyway.
For one thing, his sadness won't last long. It's not like religious fear and guilt that can go on for an entire life.
Sentient.......No one likes to see a kid cry.....You need to think like a child for a moment and remember how it was at that age....:)
Daniel, I don't like parent's teaching children about santa either.
Oh YES! I like your idea! A tree, a bench, and a plaque! Can't think of a better way to memorialize a life lived and enjoyed.

Home prices in the Charlotte region rose 5.8 percent in December from a year ago for the region's 24th month in a row of annual gains, a report Tuesday showed.
Irvine, Calif.-based CoreLogic, which tracks repeat sales, said prices nationally rose 11 percent in December, the largest year-over-year increase since 2005. Nationwide, prices have risen on an annual basis for 22 months in a row.
Prices in the Charlotte, Concord and Gastonia area have returned to levels seen before the housing downturn, CoreLogic data show. But the data also show that annual gains are slowing.
In 2012, the region posted double-digit annual increases in each of the last three months of the year. There were no double-digit increases for any months in 2013.
In Charlotte and elsewhere, prices have been rising in part because of low supplies of homes for sale. In December, inventories in the region stood at a 4.8-month supply, according to the Charlotte Regional Realtor Association. A six-month supply is considered a balanced market.
Industry insiders say some would-be sellers still owe more on their mortgages than their homes are worth, which is preventing them from listing their properties. Home values need to rise more before those owners will be in a position to sell.
Compared with November, prices in the Charlotte region rose 0.2 percent in December. Nationally, prices fell 0.1 percent.
Many economists expect annual price gains to slow this year to a rate of about 3 or 4 percent. Mark Fleming, chief economist for CoreLogic, said he expects rising prices to attract more sellers, "unlocking this pent-up supply, which will have a moderating effect on prices in 2014."
Nationwide, higher interest rates are making homes less affordable, especially for many first-time buyers. The average rate for a 30-year mortgage in December was 4.46 percent, up from 3.41 percent in January 2013. It remains unclear what impact even higher rates may have on the housing market.
CoreLogic forecasts a 10.2 percent year-over-year rise in home prices for January. Prices on a monthly basis are expected to fall 0.8 percent.

Sandoval Optimistic In State Of The State Address
By MICHELLE RINDELS
CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) â¿¿ Gov. Brian Sandoval proposed expanding all-day kindergarten to nearly half of Nevada's elementary schools, boosting programs for English language learners, and investing more in the Millennium Scholarship during his State of the State address Wednesday.
Education dominated the speech and accounts for much of the additional spending Sandoval proposes in his two-year, $6.5 billion budget, which was released the same day.
"Our greater challenge is helping a Nevada that is still on the horizon," Sandoval said. "I want us to agree that what we find there must be the best it can be."The Republican governor's speech, delivered in Carson City and broadcast statewide, was largely optimistic even while the state continues to face the nation's highest unemployment rate at 10.8 percent. He called the last two years "a success story," citing 30,000 new jobs in the state in the past 24 months. He gave the state's housing crisis just a passing mention toward the end of the speech, sandwiching it between talk of increased autism support funding and fewer furlough days for state employees. "We are emerging from the worst economic crisis of our generation," he said. "I can confidently report to the people of Nevada that the state of our state grows stronger every day." Among the specifics of his education plan, Sandoval is calling for more funding for English language learners, who make up more than 15 percent of the state's students, and expanding all-day kindergarten options. He wants to put more into Teach for America â¿¿ a program akin to the Peace Corps that places young college graduates in teaching posts at needy schools. He proposed a school-choice bill that would give businesses a tax credit for donating to a scholarship fund. Students at low-performing schools could use the funds to attend a different school of their choice.

Any insight from this?
1 Attachment(s)
My doctor ordered some labs last week, including some thyroid numbers. Now, I don't know if it makes a difference, but I had taken my daily 50mcg of levothyroxene before my blood was drawn.
Anyway, as much as I try, thyroid numbers still confuse me. Give me cholesterol, liver enzymes, or almost anything else, and I'm good, but thyroid still confuses me. If anyone has any thoughts about these results, I'd be grateful.
Doctors who give T4 (only) get used to seeing FT4 'higher' in the range...so yours is plenty high (actually, I like mine slightly UNDER middle of it's range) but take a look at your FT3. Ideally, that should be above the middle range, yet it's only within bottom of the range. Most of us stop converting T4 into the 'energy, feel less achy, more alert' T3 hormone.
Also, levothyroxine (T4) takes about four to six WEEKS before it's 'working'...that's why we need it to convert (or we need to take T3 replacement...the synthetic is Cytomel) to it. You're not converting well, and most of us with hypo tend to feel much better if our TSH if around or UNDER a 1.
Ntombi- I'm not a physician, and you have MS and other medical issues for any doctor to consider in evaluating your thyroid levels. Usually, when someone is taking hormones, the TSH will be closer to 1.0, but there are a variety of factors affecting your situation. I read on another section that you've had recent infection as well. That's why I think you'd be best to discuss this with your doctor.
can you ask/discuss with your dr if dr is open to lowering your t4 and adding T3? Most feel better with Tsh much lower and ft3 much higher.
If not, get another opinion of a dr that does use T3.
whatever you do, make sure your doc knows exactly how much before the blood draw you took your meds. Mine is generally good, but seems like a dolt about this point... he says you can't pay that much attention to free t3 and t4 when someone is taking the meds, since they jump all over they place during the day. I say, YES BUT, if I take the pills two hours, say, or three hours BEFORE the draw, won't that be a maximum number? how about taking one without the meds for a minimum and averaging them? something like that. he sorta gets it. but not really...
I suggest that if your doc tends to undermedicate you, you should not get the blood draw when your meds are at their highest point of the day.
I really doubt that the levels 'jump all over the place' during the day because both of my endos (excellent doctors) said that I should just take my meds as usual before a blood draw.
Keep in mind that the OP is taking only T4. The T4 is a very slow-acting hormone that doesn't take full effect in the body for 6-8 WEEKS. Taken regularly as we do, it would not result in 'spikes' of any kind but would tend to be stable.
I take T3, which does work immediately in the body. Since I take it at exactly the same time each morning, and my blood draw is always at the same time every 4 months (about 5 hours from my T3), my doctor is getting a level that he can compare from one visit to the next. I doubt that any physician believes he/she is getting any exact amount. Lab values are always considered in relation to an individual's symptoms because we all have different levels at which we feel best.
This is why interpreting lab results should be left to physicians rather than people on an internet board who know only their personal experiences.
Leo apart from your dr and a few others.. (mine for the most part is ok too WITH ME but many patients arent getting the same 'care' i get.. Most STINK at interpreting labs values in relation to a patients symptoms.
I still say seek another opinion.. She has a 'high' Ft4 , higher than any good dr lets TSH be and very low ft3. and she doesnt feel well..
Obviously, I know that you're all giving opinions and such. That's what I asked for. And yes, with the MS and some other stuff, I know I'm not a textbook case. I just wanted to hear what y'all have to say, because my doctor is really happy with these numbers.
It's hard, because I still feel like I'm not properly medicated for the thyroid issues, but so many of the symptoms overlap with symptoms of other conditions I have, plus, I don't feel comfortable reading thyroid labs, so I'm just looking for thoughts as to whether I should look elsewhere for solutions, or keep pushing my doctor. I don't have the language or confidence to converse with her about the results, like I do on other issues. I feel a little stuck.
She's definitely better than my former doctor (who wouldn't even entertain the idea that I was hypothyroid), but she loves these numbers. I've been on this dose of levothyroxene for about six months, I don't feel any different, and none of my symptoms have even been alleviated.
Ntombi- I didn't realize you were experiencing hypo symptoms. However, as you point out, they could be from other causes. A good thyroid doctor considers both labs and the patient's symptoms, so if I were in your situation, I'd initiate a conversation with my doctor about this. You say that she's happy with the lab numbers, but you should tell her that you are still experiencing symptoms and are concerned.
It's important to be very specific about the symptoms you're experiencing so that your doctor can judge whether or not they are due to your thyroid.
Let me offer a personal example. I have Hashimoto's and for several years, I've had to take both T4 and T3. When my T3 drops too low, I get incredible fatigue. Last year, I began experiencing such fatigue and called my endo, asking for a check of my T3. At the same time, he also ordered a B12 check because he thought that if the T3 was OK, I might be having some problem with B12. It turned out to be my T3. My point is that 'thyroid-like' symptoms can come from other things, so try to be very clear with your doctor about what you're experiencing.
Ntombi are you near any of these offices in Ca.
this is an awesome group.

:laugh: Two of my doctors are actually in that Los Al medical complex! It's about 15 minutes from me.
Now, if I can just convince my PCP to refer me.
not sure what the deal with them is with insurance..might not matter.. Call them. :)
I'm going to call tomorrow and see if they take my insurance. Thanks.
Leo41, I self-inject B12 weekly, and probably will for the foreseeable future. I've been doing that for about six months as well. Obviously, I eat meat and dairy, and even organ meats, so there's something up with my absorption. :(
I only used the B12 as an example of the fact that 'thyroid-like' symptoms can be from other sources, so when you speak with a doctor, it's important to explain exactly what your symptoms are so that he/she can explore all possible causes.
One of the reasons most of us had difficulty getting diagnosed initially is that thyroid symptoms are often vague and can be from a variety of causes. My PCP told me for years that my symptoms were just 'normal aging.' It turned out to be hypothyroidism from Hashi's.
I think a new patient visit is around $500 and ongoing visits are $295. I get reimbursed about $50. I can manage that and it is well worth it to me. I was barely getting out if bed and getting to work every day before I found them. Since seeing them I got a graduate degree, new job and a raise so I consider it an investment. :)
THat's awesome Gina!
Good luck Ntombi :)
I have an appointment with Dr. Kutas in a couple of weeks. Thanks, everyone.
I just left the appointment, and I'm trying not to cry. He confirmed so many things I've been saying for years. I finally might get a handle on this thyroid issue!
We're increasing the synthroid a bit for now, and then I'll be back I'm a few months. Part of the problem is that I'm often on steroids, which can skew thyroid results for the better (didn't know that!), and I was on them with these last tests. I'm back on them now too. Ugh. Anyway, he says I have a goiter, not yet sure about nodules, and is also wondering about Hashimoto's, which I have been too.
I'm so glad to have someone listening who seems to know how to approach things. It's going to be a long slough, and I understand that, but I feel like I'm at least moving in the right direction.
Thanks for the recommendation and support. I really appreciate it.
I have been on daily oral and inhalant steroids for over 11 years. And if my T3 isn't in a good place for ME..I'm dead in the water so to speak.
I'm so very happy you had a good appointment though...and I'd been in a study a few years back that dealt with the effect of steroids (steroids that sustain life in my case) on thyroid and in my particular case I need more incoming T3.
I'm glad it worked out for you. Is he a Holtorf doctor?
Hmm, I see Dr. Holtorf prescribes bioidenticals; maybe I should have gone there instead. I might be fine with the right dose of synthroid, I hope so.
Rereading the thread, I see that the Holtorf clinics don't take any insurance at all. I'll have to keep that way far on the back burner; I'm barely able to swing all the copays I have to shell out, plus thousands in uncovered dental work, I can't afford to pay cash for a doctor. Obviously, if every other option fails, I'll have to figure something out, but for now, it's not an option.
Thanks again, I'm actually feeling hope today. :)
It sounds like you found someone who will work with you anf that is what matters. I like my Holtorf doctor, but I'd love to find a good doc who would take my insurance.
Ntombi, Dr. Kutas was a doctor that 2bflawless, a poster that used to live in CA found, and she's since moved out of state. He worked wonders for her so I think you've got a keeper there.
Thank you so much!

Designer: Jasper Morrison
Jasper Morrison is one of today's most influential industrial designers. He is renowned for his elegant and straightforward style. Born in London in 1959, Morrison studied at the Royal College of Art in London. He pursued further studies at the Hochschule der Künste in Berlin on a fellowship. In 1986 he founded his own design studio in London.
Jasper Morrison became a leading figure of "New Simplicity", a movement that advocated a more modest and also more serious approach to design. In addition to furniture, he has also created lamps, home accessories, textiles, a tram system for the city of Hanover, Germany, and a bus shelter for the Vitra Campus in Weil am Rhein.View other products by Jasper Morrison
Manufacturer: Vitra
Classic. Modern. Sustainable.
Vitra has manufactured furniture designs by Charles & Ray Eames and George Nelson since 1957. Building on this foundation, Vitra has developed a wide range of furnishings for the office, for the home and for public spaces in collaboration with progressive designers. Yet Vitra is more than just a design-oriented manufacturing company. The name also stands for the Vitra Design Museum, for a collection of modern furniture and its accompanying archive, for workshops and publications on topics of design, and for an architectural concept that unites buildings by Frank Gehry, Nicholas Grimshaw, Zaha Hadid, Tadao Ando, Alvaro Siza, Herzog & de Meuron and SANAA at the Vitra Headquarters in Birsfelden (Switzerland) and on the Vitra Campus in Weil am Rhein (Germany).
Product longevity is central to Vitra's contribution to sustainable development; short-lived styling is avoided at all costs. This can be seen most clearly in the classical pieces of furniture that have been used for decades, had several owners and have then even ended up as a part of a collection. For Vitra, the manufacture of sustainable products means intense pre-production development, where the highest-grade materials are selected and tests are carried out that simulate 15 years of use. In order to enforce and monitor sustainable development in all business activities of the company, a work group was formed in 1986 by the name of 'Vitra and the Environment'.

The scene outside Marquee, a 700-some capacity club on 10th Ave. and 26th, was dramatic. Three fire engines wailed, police cars pulling up behind them, beside a long line of well-heeled public relations professionals that snaked around the block. A middle-aged man carrying a brown sack was getting into it with the bouncer. "I was invited, and this asshole…" Never attempt to gain leverage with one bouncer by berating the bouncer next to him. He will never take your side. "Who do you think you fuckin' are?" the guest asked, before he turned and performed a pissy walk north. Read More
It's Etsy's sixth birthday! "In June of 2005 while living alone in a wood shop and wanting some company, I came upon the idea of Etsy, and then the name, and then the design. I was twenty five years old with three cats," Etsy's red-haired founder Rob Kalin writes in his bio on the crafty marketplace. "Now, in 2011, I'm still living in Brooklyn, I'm 30 years old, and I have two cats."
And Etsy, in 2011, is handling on the order of $400 million in sales in 150 countries and has more than nine million members, more than a billion page views per month. It's constantly expanding its Dumbo offices and just rented new space in a Silicon Valley data center. And men use the site now.
Naturally, Etsy's having a party tonight ('cause it's their birthday).
Dispatch from The Transom.
The New York startup bubble burst Monday night at Jimmy, the James Hotel's rooftop lounge, sending a spray of water toward attendees at the Geekosystem Internet Week party. It seems one former Facebook employee-turned-financier had paid a former colleague at the social network $1,500 to jump into the swank, off-limits, ornamental pool. Read More
The Third Annual Webutante Ball: It was fun! Mark Zuckerberg, who reportedly drank all the premium liquor in Midtown on Saturday, was not there, but the small-fry start-up folk Betabeat loves to cover almost all were.
We had our ID checked on the way into Marquee–Meatpacking District, standard–and ran immediately into social media anti-guru Alex Blagg, standing in front of a red carpet that was really a red rug, and dapper in his trademark bow-tie and jacket, preparing to shoot a video for Gawker TV mogul-turned Thrillist managing editor Richard Blakeley, the event's creator.
Who was there that we should interview? Betabeat asked. "Me," he said. We promised we would. Read More
"In about one week, tickets to the Webutante Ball will be on sale. If you haven't heard of it, the Webutante Ball is a big party for tech nerds, with all proceeds from tickets going to the Michael J. Fox Foundation," organizer Simon Kirk of TechiesGiveBack writes in an email blast. "Last year the event sold out in five hours, which meant that some of our friends didn't get to come. This year we are secretly opening up ticket sales to our friends one week ahead of the general public. You can share the link but please avoid the tweets." Buy now, he cautions, or you may not get to go. General admission tickets are $35.

Dave Johnson's January issue editorial on "Me and my footprint" — taking personal responsibility for sustainable behaviors and lifestyle, inspired this log of sustainable actions taken by ISHN editorial advisor Keith Tait:
• Working to identify and further integrate campus conservation / sustainability into Accreditation Process, Master Planning and Campus Committee for Environmental Responsibility (CCER)
- Developing a Sustainability "Manifesto" as part of the CCER (students, faculty and staff)
- Launching a Green Office program
- Supporting conservation initiatives – new campus wide metering system, ongoing recycling program, purchasing initiatives, student green grants, etc.
- Presented "Sustainability at SUNY Plattsburgh" @ SUNY Sustainability Conference in SUNY Empire College in Saratoga Springs, NY
• Reduced my 166-mile commute to work on campus from 665 to 166 miles / week by going part time (1 day / week)
• Traded in my 07 Subaru Impreza (30 mpg) for a new 12 Hyundai Veloster (40 mpg), easy 25% improvement, pay-back period about 3 years based on mileage
• Added a lovely sunlit (passive solar) extension to house (and eliminated rotten deck). The addition was built to stringent New York State Energy codes with high efficiency windows / insulation.
• Existing 20-year-old log house (non-code construction) renovated 5 years ago with new roof, chinking (between logs), windows, doors, additional insulation (attic) to improve insulation and reduce air infiltration. Installed "on demand" propane hot water heater. Pay-back period difficult to assess with low interest 30-year mortgage.
• 5th year of biomass burning (4 full cords wood & 4 tons pellets) at my Adirondack home down to 20F to limit use of propane heat
• 3rd year of planting my garden (beans and potatoes grow well, despite limited sunlight – don't want to cut down trees)
• 2nd year of using Megabus and Amtrak south of Albany to NYC (300 miles round trip) every other week (90 miles from home)
• 5th year of composting all organic biodegradable wastes at home, mature compost soon to be added to garden
• 5th year of set-back policy (50F) with high-efficiency Rinnai propane heaters whenever visiting NYC during heating season
• 1st year of purchasing local grown vegetables from Tom's Tomatoes and local venison from my neighbor - a hunter
• 5th year of using freezer(s) to purchase, maintain quality foods, minimize meat purchase / consumption, and store for interim periods of time to avoid unnecessary cooking
• 5th year of mandatory recycling at home. Donation of various used items to Transfer Station Shop.
• 3rd year of focusing on modifying use of household cleaning products (Ionized Water)
• 5th year of reduced water flow devices and careful use of dishwasher and washer / dryer, use of drying rack aside from humid summer months
• No use of fertilizers / insecticides in yard and reduced use of winter salt products
• Limited sized yard (grass) with reduced mowing during summer months, retain forest setting with good wildlife habitat including seasonal stream and pond, abundant water - no need to retain rainwater.
• Assessed the purchase / installation of PVA solar panels, but rejected last year to extended financial payback period (20+ years)
• No A/C necessary in summer, geothermal ground floor remains cool (55F) with fans to circulate warm and cool air
• Exploring future heating options such as Hydrothermal
How's that? I'm still working on additional options. Please note - everything is "conventional" conservation. Nothing fancy!

Radek Dvorak RW CAR 6 Months
Radek Dvorak won't be re-signed by the Carolina Hurricanes.
In 60 games last season, he notched four goals and nine points. Dvorak averaged just 10:38 of ice time per contest. Carolina also announced that defenseman Mike Komisarek won't be retained.
Radek Dvorak RW CAR 9 Months
Radek Dvorak got a five-minute charging penalty and game misconduct for crashing into goaltender Roberto Luongo on Thursday.
Dvorak claimed he got a little push while going hard at the net and that's what caused the incident. "It was not intentional at all," Dvorak insisted. "That's not my style." Luongo left the game with an upper-body injury as a result of the incident.
Radek Dvorak RW CAR 9 Months
Radek Dvorak returned to action on Tuesday March 18.
Radek Dvorak RW CAR 9 Months
Carolina Hurricanes forward Radek Dvorak left Sunday's game with an upper-body injury.
He doesn't have any real fantasy relevance so JFYI.
Radek Dvorak RW CAR Aug 29 '79
Radek Dvorak will be back in the lineup on Monday after missing two games with a lower-body injury.
He has three goals and no assists in 15 games this season and shouldn't be on your fantasy radar.
Radek Dvorak RW CAR Aug 19 '79
Radek Dvorak was the lone goal scorer in Thursday's 1-0 win by the Hurricanes over the Islanders.
The veteran forward has notched three goals so far this season, but isn't worthy of consideration in fantasy leagues. Ron Hainsey drew the only assist on the goal.
Radek Dvorak RW CAR Aug 16 '79
Radek Dvorak (lower body) has been activated from the injured reserve list.
Dvorak was sidelined for three straight games due to the ailment. Look for him to play on the fourth line against Philadelphia on Tuesday.
Radek Dvorak RW CAR Aug 15 '79
Radek Dvorak (lower body) practiced Monday and is eligible to come off injured reserve for Tuesday's game versus Philadelphia.
It's unclear if that will happen, but he did skate with Manny Malhotra and Drayson Bowman on the fourth line. He has missed the last three games with a lower-body injury.
Radek Dvorak RW CAR Aug 11 '79
Carolina has moved Radek Dvorak, who has a lower-body injury, onto injured reserve.
He has two goals in 11 games this season. Dvorak hasn't played since Oct. 25.

4 Ways to Get a Better Car Repair Experience
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Americans like dealing with car repair about as much as root canal and finishing income tax returns. A study from Harris Interactive and RepairPal.com, a San Francisco online auto repair services firm, says U.S. consumers have a "major distrust" of auto repair shops and "high anxiety" when they bring their cars and trucks in for service.
Trust is the major issue, the survey says, with 38% of vehicle owners saying they don't have much confidence in their mechanic and 66% of respondents say they have been "ripped off" by an auto repair shop.
The RepairPal survey says that car and truck owners are so turned off by dealing with repair shops that 41% would rather do their taxes by hand rather than take their vehicle in for servicing.
"Getting your car repaired is a little like going to the doctor," explains Art Shaw, chief executive at RepairPal.com. "You are relying on an expert to provide honest insight based on experience and specialized training that you don't have. It is unfortunate that some shops have tarnished the reputation of the whole industry and created such stress for consumers."Women are especially distrustful of auto repair shops. The survey says 66% of all consumers believe women are charged more than men getting the same repairs. And 77% of vehicle owners say auto repair businesses perform more unnecessary repairs for women than they do for men. How can women -- and men -- get a square deal from auto repair services? Start with some self-knowledge. You might avoid visiting a repair shop by studying your vehicles owners' manual more deeply than just learning the make and model of your vehicle. Also, keep good records. A thorough record of your vehicle's maintenance history can help you avoid redundant repairs and help your technician diagnose a problem quickly and properly, saving you time and money.
You can also avoid major car repair headaches by getting everything your shop promises in writing. Know what work is being done, what parts are included and what it will cost. Always ask what the "complete job" will cost, and make your repair shop put it all on paper. One other tip: Don't let your mechanic take a ride in your vehicle alone. That's not a trust issue -- it's a knowledge issue. By riding along with your technician, you'll get a better grip on the problem and be right there to ask good questions.

Mean Girls Christmas Outfit
Back to Cool: Mean Girls
Mean Girls isn't a Christmas film per se but when thinking about dressing up in a festive theme, I can't help but think of Lindsay Lohan et al singing 'Jingle Bell Rock'. The four girls sing and dance on stage at the school's Winter talent show in very inappropriate (for school) festive costumes. They wear knee high heeled boots and black satin gloves to round off the look. If you're attending a fancy dress party this year and are feeling brave then why not copy the look below?

I installed two 10 jet natural gas ring burners in my rig. The first one went fine but good old fumble fingers me dropped the second as I was installing it and broke off two jet tips at the casting. I was able to get the threads out of the cast iron ring pretty easily and ran a tap thru so the threads are fine. What is not so easy is finding replacement the jet tips. Does ayone have a beat on where I can purchase a couple spares? I have the one I installed intact working pretty well by adjusting the regulator build into the Honeywell intermittent pilot valve. Thank you for any assistance you can render.
Dunno what shipping will cost you...but I ordered my 23 nozzle burners from here and they were fine. $.79 for each nozzle isnt bad. http://www.cpapc.com/store/Round-Noz...s-P2364C0.aspx

NAME: Bacon Press
WHAT DOES IT DO: Made from sturdy, heavy cast iron, with large press surfaces for handling multiple slices at once, and sporting wooden handles that won't get hot, preventing your bacon from curling, and also works great for sandwiches, burgers, or anything else you want to cook evenly and don't mind getting a little squished.
FUN FACT: Bacon is delicious
