Born | Belgrade, Serbia |

Nationality | Serbian |
Occupation | Political campaigner, former flight attendant |
Vesna Vulović (Serbian: Весна Вуловић; born 3 January 1950) is a Serbian former flight attendant. She holds the world record, according to the Guinness Book of Records, for surviving the highest fall without a parachute: 10,160 metres (33,333 ft).[1]
Plane explosion[edit]
On 26 January 1972, an explosion on JAT Flight 367, while over Srbská Kamenice in Czechoslovakia (now in the Czech Republic) caused the plane to break apart. Vulović, 22 years old at the time, was a flight attendant on board. She was not scheduled to be on that flight; she had been mixed up with another flight attendant who was also named Vesna.[1]
The official report of the Czechoslovak investigation commission that was handed over to the ICAO on 7 May 1974, stated that there had been an explosion in the front baggage compartment of the plane. The Czechoslovak secret service (Státní bezpečnost), which was leading the investigation, presented parts of an alarm clock ten days after the crash which they claimed came from a bomb. The report concluded that the explosion was the result of a bomb.
On the morning of 27 January 1972, an anonymous man called the newspaper Kvällsposten published in Malmö, Sweden, claiming, in broken Swedish, that he was a Croat and member of a nationalist group that placed the bomb on the plane.[citation needed] Apart from this, no further evidence was ever found that established that the bombing was a terrorist attack. Nevertheless, shortly after the phone call, the Yugoslav government blamed the Ustaše. According to the official report the explosion tore the McDonnell Douglas DC-9-32 to pieces in mid-air, and Vulović was the only survivor. It has since been stated that she survived because she had been in the rear part of the plane. However, both Vulović[2] and Bruno Henke, the man who rescued her from the wrecked fuselage on the ground, state that she was found in the middle section right above the wings.
Vulović fell approximately 10,160 meters (33,333 ft).[1] She suffered a fractured skull, three broken vertebrae (one crushed completely) that left her temporarily paralyzed from the waist down, and two broken legs. She was in a coma for 27 days. In an interview, she commented that according to the man who found her, "...I was in the middle part of the plane. I was found with my head down and my colleague on top of me. One part of my body with my leg was in the plane and my head was out of the plane. A catering trolley was pinned against my spine and kept me in the plane. The man who found me says I was very lucky. He was in the German Army as a medic during World War II. He knew how to treat me at the site of the accident."[3]
Vulović continued working for JAT at a desk job following a full recovery from her injuries. She regained the use of her legs after surgery and continued to fly sporadically. She claims she has no fear of flying, which she attributes to the loss of memory of the crash, and she even enjoys watching movies with plane crashes.[4] She is considered a national heroine throughout the former Yugoslavia.
Vulović was awarded the Guinness Record title by Paul McCartney at a ceremony in 1985.[5]
Vulović was eventually dismissed in 1990 for expressing views critical of Yugoslav ruler Slobodan Milošević.[6] She participated in protests against his rule afterwards, up to and including the Bulldozer Revolution that led to his ouster. Many believe that her status as a national heroine prevented the authorities from arresting her despite her open defiance of the Milošević government.[2] She continues to be vocal in politics in Serbia.[4]
2009 report[edit]
In January 2009 German ARD radio correspondent Peter Hornung-Andersen together with Dutch journalist Tim van Beveren and Czech journalist Pavel Theiner published a report based on newly found documents, mainly from the Czech Civil Aviation Authority and the Czech Republic's National Archive, concluding that it was "extremely probable" that the plane had been shot down by mistake by the Czechoslovak Air Force.[6] They claim that the plane broke up only a few hundred metres above the ground, not the 10,000 metres claimed by the official investigation.[7] This claim is allegedly backed by secret reports in which several eyewitnesses said that they saw Vulović's plane flying below the clouds before it crashed and maps drawn by Czechoslovak investigators showing that the largest parts of the plane were found in an area that is rather smaller than would have been expected if the plane broke apart at the claimed altitude.[8] The Czech Civil Aviation Authority nevertheless issued a statement denying the claim without addressing the evidence.[citation needed] The original statement has given rise to more recent reports.[7] Vulović, despite having no memory of the crash or the flight after boarding,[6] has challenged these new theories, denying the claim that the plane descended to a much lower altitude while attempting a forced landing.[citation needed] A representative of Guinness World Records stated that "it seems that at the time Guinness was duped by this swindle just like the rest of the media."[6]
One source[9] does not support such conspiracy theories and quotes a Czech army expert:
In case of violation of the air space, the incident would not be solved by anti-air missiles, but by fighter planes. Also it would not be possible to conceal such incident, as there would approximately 150–200 people knowing about the incident. They would not have any reason to not tell about incident today.
Additionally, the Czechoslovak Air Defense soldier who operated the radar the same day stated in a 2009 interview[9] that any Czechoslovak jet fighters would have been noticed by the West German Air Defense:
Even if the Czechoslovak authorities would conceal it, the West would not remain silent.
The official from the Czech Civil Aviation Authority claims[9] that findings of the official investigation are being questioned mostly because of the media attractiveness of the story.
Investigative report shows that the explosion on board was 'from the inside out'.

Feels great from behind the wheel. The steering is reasonably direct, if a little dead on-center. Not a ton of feel, but, really, not bad. Rides comfortably. Plenty of power from the V-6. I have no quibbles with the powertrain. The Odyssey has the traditional Honda strength of a relatively low cowl and good sightlines through the front and side windows. It helps to have the triangle windows in the A-pillars. However, it is impossible to see the front corners of the vehicle from the driver's seat. The rearview camera works well and has a good image. The instrument panel is well laid out and easy to decipher. I like the center stack controls; there are three different readouts: 1) the big nav screen, on top in its own binnacle; 2) a small readout with climate control info; and 3) another readout with radio information. I think actually this is better than trying to combine all these functions in one place.
I'm still not sure about the exterior styling. As for the sliding door track at the rear of the vehicle: minivan designers have gone to great lengths for years to try and disguise this, as it's unattractive yet of course essential for the door function; but here it seems to have been made extra prominent. I saw a last-generation Odyssey in the grocery store parking lot last night, and the side profile is arguably better looking, with a simpler greenhouse, without the big kick-up in the rear window, and less emphasis on the door track.

One of the most troubling attitudes I encounter when talking with librarians about copyright is a sort of fatalism. The general idea is that copyright is simply a monolithic, unintelligible barricade that prevents libraries from realizing their full potential.
Copyright Incentives in the GSU Appeals Court Ruling | Peer to Peer Review
The word "incentive" appears ten times in the ruling issued last month by the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals in the Georgia State University (GSU) copyright infringement case, but it is slightly unclear in this rather odd opinion just who is the object of the incentive created by copyright. In seven of those ten instances, the incentive is clearly intended to benefit the author. But there are three sentences at the very end of the majority opinion (the other three uses of the word) where the court seems to interrupt its analysis to state that the incentive belongs to publishers, not authors. It is, I think, worth parsing this apparent contradiction in order to guess at how the trial court might think about incentives on remand.
Lessons from Swets: Libraries Need Subscription Security | Peer to Peer Review
I participated in a series of meetings last week to determine how the Duke Libraries would respond to the bankruptcy filing made by subscription agent Swets. We have been through this before, when Faxon/RoweCom failed, and many libraries lost a lot of money. Unfortunately, more money is going to be lost this time around. Perhaps it is time for us to think about how we got into this situation——and how to make sure we never end up back here again.
Hard Cases Make Bad Law | Peer to Peer Review
The legal adage that hard cases make bad law apparently has deep roots in English common law, and it was cited in a Supreme Court decision by no less a Justice than Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. Its applicability has been disputed over the years, but in recent weeks we have seen the truth of the maxim illustrated in some copyright debates. Colleagues have recently sent me two different stories where the extremes of copyright law are in play—hard cases, I suppose. Both offer confirmation that when the facts are really well outside the realm of normal expectations, people can draw very bad legal conclusions. But both also offer opportunities to remind ourselves of fundamental truths about law, journalism, and copyright.
Taming a Wild Country | Peer to Peer Review
Looking back, the irony is so heavy-handed that it seems contrived. As my colleagues and I were preparing for our MOOC on Copyright for Educators and Librarians, which launched for the first time last week, the only resource that we wanted to use but could not successfully negotiate the permission for was Susan Bielstein's book about negotiating permissions. It would have been great for us and, I am convinced, for the Press if we could have offered a single chapter of it for our over 8,000 MOOC participants to read. In the event, however, we rediscovered the fear and lack of sound business sense that grips the publishing industry, but also discovered the richness of the free resources that were available to us.
Can Libraries Help Stop This Madness? | Peer to Peer Review
The business of university press monograph publishing has always been madness, and changing conditions have made it even less sensible than it was. Yet any suggestion that there should be fewer university presses or that they should refocus their missions is greeted with shouts of dismay that are usually reserved for heretics and anarchists. Maybe we should remember that oft-quoted definition of madness—doing the same thing over and over while expecting different results.
Crisis, Paralysis, and Progress | Peer to Peer Review
The library community has been talking about a "journal pricing crisis" for over two decades. What we have not seen so far is any kind of concerted effort to break through this cycle. But two growing movements—the push toward open access and the growth of library publishing programs—make me think that we may be reaching a tipping point. In a white paper released last month, library administrators Rebecca R. Kennison and Lisa R. Norberg describe the need for "deep structural changes" in the systems through which scholarship is created and communicated. I honestly do not know if their proposal is the one that will trigger these changes, but I know that they are pointing us in the right direction.
Of Bundles, Bindings, and the Next Great Copyright Law | Peer to Peer Review
Everyone who teaches copyright uses the same metaphor, I think. Copyright is a "bundle of sticks." A property owner is said to have a bundle, where each "stick" represents an exclusive right. I had not really thought deeply about this metaphor until it was raised at a conference I attended whose theme was what a new copyright law might look like. There was a lot of talk about the problems with the current law. Until then it had not occurred to me that one of those problems was the bundle of rights itself.
Just the Tip of the Iceberg | Peer to Peer Review
Gibberish is defined by Merriam-Webster as "foolish, confused, or meaningless words," and the example sentences that are given suggest that gibberish is produced by people who are overexcited or unconscious. But it turns out that computers can also write gibberish, if they are programmed to do so, as we all found out when it was announced that publishers Springer and IEEE were withdrawing 120 papers they had published because they were found to be such computer-generated gibberish.
Fight or Flight? | Peer to Peer Review
Nature has built in two important responses for human beings and other animals facing danger, which psychologists call the fight and the flight reflexes. Depending on the nature of the threat, either choice might be sensible in a specific context. This all came to mind during a conversation a couple of weeks ago with Chris Bourg, the Associate University Librarian for Public Services at Stanford. She spoke to Duke's Seminar on the Research Library about the threat to libraries from neoliberal thinking in higher education. Chris' talk was very interesting and challenging. I am not sure I entirely agree with her. But the part of the conversation I want to focus on is how librarians respond to a sense of crisis in our profession.

NBI: At least half day to get clearance
-A A +ATuesday, August 9, 2011
GETTING a clearance from the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) in Davao City will take at least a half day, as the regional office is not spared from its information network cutoff.
NBI spokesperson Arcelito Albao, however, said everything is getting better with the set-up of their new biometric clearing system.
He added that since it's an entirely new system from a new service provider, everybody who needs clearance will have to apply for a new one. Clearance renewal processing is not available.
Mega Data Corp., which had served the data processing needs of the NBI for more than 30 years, pulled out all its software and hardware equipment after their contract with the agency expired in June.
Albe Lacuesta, a local job applicant, bewailed the long time it takes just to stay in line.
"Okay naman yung takbo ng proseso, kaya lang mabagal pa rin (The processing is doing well but it's very slow). I went here at around 4 in the morning tapos kung titignan mo it's 11:30 na pero naghihintay pa rin ako (but it's already 11:30 and I'm still waiting)," Lacuesta said.
Argie Maglasang, who already filed his application for a clearance, said the long line to claim a clearance also eats up a lot of time.
"Well organized naman sila. Dugay lang jud. Kana bang effort gani kaayo ta maghulat, then tanto-tanto hulat ugma pa nako diay makuha akong clearance (They are well-organized but what's frustrating here is the long wait. You wait in line only to be told once it's your turn that your clearance will still be released tomorrow)," Maglasang said.
Albao said long lines will remain because the regional office here has the only NBI clearance registry in Mindanao.
Applicants, he said, are from as far as Zamboanga. The registration starts around 6 a.m. and closes at 8 p.m.
He said what is happening now is just a dry run for the new service provider. Once the system runs smoothly, the other offices will be linked online, he said.

About Me Bought For Hubby And Mil, Eclectic
This is a great shirt and it's made out of heavy duty cotton, not the soft flimsy stuff you see almost everywhere lately. The color of the shirt is more of a egg custard color than an eggshell cream IMO, but it's still an awesome shirt and would look great layered for a casual outfit. Honestly if it wasn't such a faux pas I would have gotten myself one.

Meaningful conversations about brand, from Davis Brand Capital.
There has been much talk lately of data overload. Of marketing noise and the struggle to attract and maintain consumer attention. A weekend outdoors with my toddler reminded me this isn't a new problem, nor is our selective attention a new response. My daughter still notices every soaring airplane. Every buzzing hedge trimmer. Every distant siren. The sights and sounds I have learned, over time, to tune out as irrelevant. When faced with data glut in the marketplace, most consumers respond like me. That is to say, they don't respond. So how do brands help consumers see their information through the eyes of a child?
We've covered on UE some of the latest visualizations that show amazing patterns in the downpour, empowering business and brand managers to channel the deluge into usable streams. But for the consumer, some of the most effective visualizations show the invisible and silent stimuli they never knew were around them.
The Red Interactive company website, Red Universe, is one such example.
Red Universe generates a dynamic, customizable avatar for every guest. While this Second Life approach to site navigation is interesting in its own right, the most significant element is that guests can see the typically anonymous "presence" of their fellow surfers around them. This fundamentally changes the way one experiences the site. Visitors explore the site together, transforming browsing into a social activity. And by adding special avatar codes, Red granted regular visitors (and agency friends) a visible currency to share (or withhold) from new visitors. In a sea of corporate sites that are all about the agency, Red flips the focus.
Of course, Red's content doesn't really lend itself to reading and discussing as a group. But couldn't an art museum website learn from such an approach, designing a virtual gallery through which visitors move, pausing at favorites to discuss and debate with each other? With the curator? With the artist?
How might visually representing "presence" change the experience of a news website or blog, whose content is often read and commented upon, but not discussed or debated through realtime dialog with others currently on the site? If as you read these words, five other UE visitors were sitting beside you at a virtual table, would you be more willing to offer your thoughts, or respond to theirs? What if the same five were here again tomorrow?
Avatars and virtual worlds are certainly nothing new. Nor would every visitor welcome a social interaction while skimming morning headlines at NYTimes.com. But introducing dynamic presence (outside of established worlds like Second Life) and realtime dialog to websites can enhance user experience for those seeking a greater interaction and a sense of community. And they can reveal once hidden sights and sounds, bringing renewed attention to what we might otherwise tune out.

Pick Your Seats Carefully
Check Online: This may seem like a daunting decision, but several services are simplifying the search. Veteran SeatGuru.com's color-coded airplane maps make it easy to spot the roomiest seats farthest from the bathroom on long- and short-haul flights. The site's new Guru Factor (or G-Factor) "comfort rating system" grades the in-flight experience with the tags "love it," "like it" or "live with it," with scores based on legroom, comfort (defined as type of seat, seat pitch, width and recline), Wi-Fi, in-flight entertainment and more.
SeatExpert.com also has charts, albeit more simplified ones. Keep in mind that the legroom in an exit-row or bulkhead seat can be equivalent to business class on some airlines. However, more and more airlines are charging a premium for those coveted rows, and they do have drawbacks, namely narrower seats.
Routehappy, meanwhile, tracks more than a dozen seat "Happiness Factors," from legroom and chair width to layout and connection length. Finally, Hipmunk.com initially sorts your search results by "agony" factor, which is a combination of the price, duration and number of stops. The only inconvenience is that none of these three sites are booking platforms, so you'll have to take your favorite routes and reserve them elsewhere.
Seats to Avoid: Any seat with its back against a bulkhead or in front of exit rows won't recline fully.
Stuck in the Middle? "I'll ask at the gate if there are any middle seats in between two people with the same last name," says travel writer John DiScala, better known as Johnny Jet. They may well give up the aisle or window to sit together.
—Reid Bramblett and Bree SposatoiStockphoto.com
Snag Your Seat Immediately Upon Booking Your Flight—Or 24 Hours Before Boarding
Choose your seats as soon as possible, and check back once a month to make sure your seat hasn't been changed. Sometimes, plane models change and automatically move you for operational reasons. Checking back may also help you notice seat openings from unexpected cancellations (this is especially true the week of travel). At the 24-hour marker, airlines sometimes start moving elite flyers into first and business class, allowing you to pounce on bulkhead, aisle or extra legroom seats.
—Bree Sposato
Download Seat Alert Apps
If you're unable to get a good seat upon booking, don't give up hope—there are two great apps made for just that. Trip organization app TripIt Pro's new Seat Tracker tool allows Pro members ($49 per year) to log in, create an alert for a future flight, select their criteria (a window seat in the exit row, for example) and the number of seats if traveling with company (up to four) and then receive a text or email if the seat(s) open up. The more affordable option is ExpertFlyer, which offers monthly membership (from $4.99 per month), but also allows you to sign up for one seat alert at a time for free. You won't be able to actually book a seat when it becomes available—for that, you'll have to turn to the airline's own site.
—Bree Sposato
Check in Online as Early as Possible
Pick Your Seat When You Book: It's usually possible to select seats online within 90 days of departure, but you have another shot to snag a decent spot when you check in for your flight.
The 24-Hour Rule: Checking in online at least 24 hours before boarding will ensure you get prime pick of seats. (Note that Spirit and AirTran now charge to pre-book seats.)
Open Seating: Early check-in even works when you can't pick a specific seat. With "open seating" (no assigned seats), passengers board in large groups; coveted group A, the first group to board, gets first pick.
Another Reason to Check in Early: Airlines routinely oversell flights, and the first passengers to be involuntarily bumped from an overflowing flight are those who check in last.
—Reid Bramblett
Virgin America
Pay Extra for Comfort
Exit-Row Supplements: Many airlines—currently including Delta, Northwest, US Airways, Spirit, and AirTran—now charge for exit row seats; the fees range from $5 to $75 depending on the airline and distance traveled.
Legroom and Premium Perks: Several airlines are tinkering with special seats at the front of the plane, which offer four to six extra inches of legroom ($10 at JetBlue, $14 at United, $35 at Spirit). If you're willing to pay a fee or use loyalty points, more than 40 percent of U.S. flights offer "extra legroom economy" seating with extra legroom and a few perks, such as free drinks, early boarding and so on. United offers a "Premier Access" program at some airports that starts at $9 and includes access to priority check-in lines, security lines, and boarding passes. "Premium Economy" is a mostly international concept and is a great option for longer-haul jaunts.
But flyers don't always need to pay for a little extra room. According to Routehappy, 13 percent of domestic flights have spacious seats in regular economy class. Southwest has the most flights with the site's "Roomier" designation (on some of its 737 fleet), but that's on only 31 percent of its flights overall. JetBlue and Virgin America have smaller networks and fewer flights, but every seat is a "Roomier" one; 96 percent of Alaska Airlines flights have "Roomier" seating, too.

Skip the Lines
For frequent travelers, the Clear Card—at $180 per year, plus $50 for a spouse or child—may be well worth the investment. It lets you jump TSA security lines at select airports, including San Francisco, San Jose, Calif., Denver, Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, Texas, and Westchester, N.Y. Another, more affordable option may be the TSA's PreCheck program, which gives eligible flyers an expedited pass through security by letting them walk through a traditional scanner without removing their laptop, coat, shoes, belt or watch. It's a new program, so it's available only through seven participating airlines at certain terminals in about 40 airports so far—but is expected to reach more than 100 airports next year.
—Bree Sposato

Travel Light
Never be that person—there's one on every flight—trying to cram his oversize bag into the overhead bin as other passengers bottleneck in the aisle, sighing and shifting. Do yourself (and everyone else) a favor by mastering the art of the carry-on. First, choose a functional bag with pockets no more than about 9 x 22 x 14 inches, if possible. Pare your items down to the essentials, keeping in mind you can likely buy supplies in your destination; bring layers instead of a bulky coat, for example; conserve space by rolling your clothes or zipping them into airless baggies; and stow any medications and electronics in an easy-to-reach pocket.
—Bree Sposato
Be Smart About Frequent-Flier Miles
It's About the Perks: Save up your miles not for a free ticket but to achieve "elite status" on the frequent-flier program. This is your golden ticket to upgrades, priority boarding, and no-fee bookings of those prime exit rows, bulkheads, and other seats. Some airlines even waive checked-luggage fees. And of course, by becoming elite with one airline, you get the benefits on a whole family of carriers: One World, SkyTeam, and Star Alliance.
"Once you fly one airline in each alliance, you get the same perks on all," says Johnny Jet. "You get on the plane first, get your bags on first, often get a special check-in line or security line, and are able to request an exit row or bulkhead at no extra charge."
According to Jet, most airlines grant their lowest level elite status to travelers who hit the 25,000-mile mark—that's just five flights from NYC to Los Angeles. United doesn't reward those members with exit rows like it used to, but Delta and American do. Even if you're not a frequent flyer, some airlines, such as U.S. Airways, will let you move to the exit row upon checking in 24 hours in advance. "But the best way to get the best seat in coach," advises Jet, "is to ask the gate attendant if there's an open seat next to you. If you're an elite frequent flyer and they know the flight isn't going to sell out, they'll block out the seat next to yours if you ask nicely. I always bring three boxes of chocolates when I fly to get rock star treatment: one for the gate attendant, one for the flight attendants and one for me."
—Reid Bramblett and Bree Sposato
Brown-Bag It
Bring Your Own Food: "The quality of airline food is just so awful nowadays that even a simple sandwich from home is like a gourmet treat," says guidebook guru Arthur Frommer.
Pack Your Favorite Things: American Airlines flight attendant Valerie Ricci carries her own tea bags because "sometimes being more comfortable is just having the things you're comfortable with, and I like my orange spice tea."
Drink Lots of Water: Bring an empty water bottle and fill it at a fountain—after you go through security.
—Reid Bramblett
Pack Your Own Entertainment
Time Flies When You're Busy: Don't rely on SkyMall and the in-flight movie to keep you occupied. The list of possible diversions is endless: personal stereo, favorite magazine, sudoku, or, suggests Arthur Frommer, "Some giant novel that you've always planned to read—War and Peace or the Naguib Mahfouz trilogy about Cairo." Before you leave home, download one or two movies onto your own device, bring an e-book or the real thing and make sure all of your batteries are charged. In the U.S., the top airlines for entertainment and perks in coach are JetBlue (think TV, Dunkin' Donuts coffee and free snooze kits with earplugs and eye masks on overnight flights) and Virgin America (expect TV, leather seats, mood lighting, Wi-Fi, power outlets and a touchscreen meal and drink ordering system). Abroad, Singapore Airlines is known for larger-than-average LCD screens and amenity kits filled with a toothbrush and toothpaste, socks, earplugs and an eye mask. Don't mind if we do.
BYO Headphones: Avoid paying the airline $5 for its crummy headphones; bring your own from home for free.

Out of sight, out of mind: Don't ignore potential problems with your basement or foundation. A professional explains why it's best to be proactive.
Contractors say homeowners with this trait are the most satisfied with home improvement projects.
It's easy to do, but forgetting your crawl space can have plenty of negative consequences for the rest of your home from poor air quality to high energy bills.
Angie's Answers
Where is the home located, what is the exterior wall construction and type, how is the space heated?
It could be a whole host of different scenarios that would generate that result. It is nearly impossible to tell but I would say that most basement moisture problems are a result of bulk moisture intrusion or condensation issues.
Given the deep and hard winter this year, it could be a condensation issue that hadn't previously been shown.
Basement Waterproofing reviews in Zachary
In fact, as I get ready to sell this house 5 yrs later, I am having and his Crew get ready to do the same excellent work at my new house. They will be laying a new cement garage pad and waterproofing around the house foundation.
The crew arrived on a weekday morning but I wasn't given an exact time but luckily I work from home so I'm flexible. The crew leader came to the door and explained they would get to work. I inquired as to whether he would be sealing the vents in the house (it was on the estimate) but he seemed confused and said it wasn't necessary. However, after a phone call with the office, it was determined that it was necessary. Another worker came in to seal the events but also mentioned that a window would need to be opened to bring in an air tube. I asked for him to give me a few minutes before opening the window so I could put my cats in a safe place (otherwise they might have escaped) and he responded "That's okay, I'll guard the window". To me this was very unprofessional and I was not about to risk my cats getting out so I ran around my house frantically to get them in a safe place (all while I should have been at my desk working). If I had been notified earlier that this was going to be the process, I could have had this taken care of.
There were a few other hangups such as having to come back a 2nd time to remove mold that was overlooked (the employee they sent out didn't seem very knowledgeable and had to call the office for my questions). At this point, I'm not sure if all the mold was removed effectively. This employee also brought along an "air scrubber" which I truly believe should have been in my house and running during the actual mold remediation instead of during this removal which took the employee all of 5-10 minutes. My house smelled like dirt for almost 2-3 weeks afterwards and upon research, this can sometimes be the sign of mold and as of today, almost two months later I still smell occasional dirt smells.
Overall, it was a very frustrating experience. $3,200 is a lot of money to me and I felt like the project didn't go smoothly and I'm not confident with the work that was done. They were kind enough to give me a $125 break for the frustration but I'm more worried about quality of the work that was done and I can only hope I won't have to have mold remediated again any time soon. I wish I had gone with one of their competitors.
I could tell that and his counterpart (can't remember his name) cared about customer satisfaction but a lot of what went wrong could have been easy overcome with being more communicative (both we me and workers) to ensure everything went correctly.
came out. Nice guy. Took a look around and we determined that not enough water pressure for a water powered sump pump. OK, battery powered is fine. Can you guarantee in writing the 7 day life? Nope. Ok so I have to take his word for it.
So we look at the existing sump pump. There's a cover on it and we can't figure out how to remove it. I explicitly say I'll get it removed before work starts. We're going to draw up the contract, but says he'll come back next day with documents that show manufacturer's warranty. He'll come after work.
Next night, no show and no call. I call him later and he says (paraphrasing) that didn't want to do the job anymore because the cover and pipes to the sump pit had to be removed. W**? I had said I would have the cover removed. I asked to have call me, which he said he would pass on. Of course, no call back to discuss. No to review or resolve, just silence.
I thought I had found someone to do the installation, now I have to go back and find someone else, get them to come out, etc. Total waste of my time.
I marked "D" for responsiveness and professionalism rather than F because they were responsive during pre-sales.
The above is expressly my opinion based on my experience, your experience may be different.
now as dry as it has ever been . Thanks to 's honesty, years of experience and good
advice he saved me thousands of dollars. His company will get my recommendation
for anyone looking for help with water issues involving their basement or foundation.

As the State goes to polls, the resentment over these notifications, which many of the landowners see as arbitrary and undemocratic, is turning into a significant issue that is likely to impact the outcome of the elections.
Even as the Centre drags its feet on the tabling of the Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Bill in the Lok Sabha, there are more immediate concerns over land acquisitions in and around Bangalore.
Thousand of landowners in the city and its catchment areas have had their lands notified for acquisition by the Karnataka Housing Board (HHB), Karnataka Industrial Areas Development Board (KIADB) and the Bangalore Development Authority (BDA).
As the State goes to polls, the resentment over these notifications, which many of the landowners see as arbitrary and undemocratic, is turning into a significant issue that is likely to impact the outcome of the elections.
Far beyond the city
No wonder that in constituencies such as Rajarajeshwarinagar, Bommanahalli and Yelahanka — where lands have been notified for the controversial Bangalore-Mysore Infrastructure Corridor project (BMIC) — poll promises include denotification of land. In fact, anti-BMIC activists such as T.J. Abraham claim that the same trend exists in the entire stretch from Srirangapatna to Bangalore.
"Members of all three political parties have been involved in the BMIC scam. None will denotify the excess land notified for the project if they come to power," Mr. Abraham asserts.
In areas where the BDA has notified lands for the Arkavathy Layout, farmers have turned violent on several occasions, refusing to part with their land because they have not yet been paid compensation. Areas near the airport, notified by the KIADB for industrial development, are also witnessing stiff resistance from farmers and other landowners.
RTI activist B.M. Shivkumar says some lands in the city were notified almost two decades ago, but still haven't been acquired. In K.R. Puram, for instance, 200 acres were notified by the BDA for the construction of a market for steel trading in 1998. The land has still not been acquired.
Once land is notified for acquisition, the owners cannot sell, transfer or make any improvements on it. "It become like a hot potato that cannot be swallowed nor spat out. Thousands in the outskirts of the city have been living like this for decades," says Mr. Shivkumar. The lands for BMIC were also notified in 1995-96. Both Mr. Abraham and Mr. Shivkumar feel that a time frame should be fixed for each project. If land that is notified is not acquired within a specific time frame, then the notification should become automatically null and void.
They argue that this indefinite suspended animation has caused the illegal denotification scam in which politicians such as B.S. Yeddyurappa, Katta Subramanya Naidu and S.N. Krishnaiah Setty are accused of fully exploiting this environment. "They would offer some money to the landowners and have a general power of attorney (GPA) executed in their name. Then, they would use their political clout and discretionary powers to get the land denotified. By the time the land is denotified, its value would have multiplied by several times," said Mr. Shivkumar who exposed several such scams.
The acquisition process has in fact become a cash cow for the politically influential land mafia. There are also several cases where politicians have been bribed by landowners to leave their properties out of the acquisition. Indeed, observers say it is this ill-gotten money that is playing a huge role in financing the careers of several politicians.
The housing society scam, also owes its genesis to flawed land acquisitions. Media investigations showed that lands acquired by the government and allotted to housing cooperative societies were in turn sold to private builders. In other instances, housing societies purchased large tracts of farmland through unscrupulous middlemen.
Housing societies are barred from acquiring land directly from farmers, so they employ middlemen to do the dirty job, said Ganesh S. Koundenya. His expose of the societies scam showed the alleged involvement of bigwigs S.A. Ramdas, V. Somanna, D.K. Shivkumar, M. Mallikarjun Kharge, B.N. Bache Gowda, Mr. Setty, Mr. Yeddyurappa and his sons.

The Day Ahead: Stuck On a Lame Exercise Tape
Scared to Make a Call
I sure am laying eyes on the S&P 500 approaching strategists' full-year value objectives, yet I'm making no real bold calls in either direction regarding the next move. If we begin to get modest upward hikes in year-end S&P 500 targets, the market may boil them down as unworthy of incurring the extra risk. In other words, the risk-reward scenario would be unfavorable.
Where Are the Players At?
One thought I am wrestling with is that, in September, when the market's ballerz return to action, will they really want to get long a market sent higher by machines and rookies? The core fundamentals -- meaning corporate sales and earnings -- are uninspiring. Further, the risk of being horribly wrong into the back half is too great a threat when it comes to buying stocks today at higher valuations vs. June.
The rally feels as if it's losing some steam, so play it close to the vest. Have you scored a profit on a core position? Great -- book it and wait to see if the market hurdles over key technical resistance points that would aid in sucking in others.
Morning Quickie
The retail space has officially become a brutal place to pick stocks. Best-in-breed names are known, and the valuations reflect the fact that their fundamentals are best in show. A few companies that come to mind in this department are Gap (GPS - Get Report), Ulta Salon (ULTA - Get Report), Target (TGT - Get Report), Home Depot (HD - Get Report), TJX (TJX - Get Report) and Michael Kors (KORS - Get Report). I remain upbeat on Gap, Home Depot and TJX -- I just want them at cheaper prices if possible. As for the fundamental horror stories, they will stay that way for the foreseeable future. If I had a gun to my head, I'd underweight Guess (GES - Get Report), a globally exposed brand that has had a stock gone haywire amid subdued European Union news flow instead of positive company-specific news. The risk is high for a tepid guidance outlook to smack the stock in the face.Select the service that is right for you!

the room upgrade and the show |
Dec 03, 2014 robert New Jersey, United States | |||||||
the holiday show was great. everything was local. not too far from the outlets. |
The bad part was I had to check out and check in during our stay. The water in our room had to run for about 15 minutes till it got at least luke warm, it was a bit frustrating but I didn't want to spend another 45 minutes checking in and out so we just dealt with it. |

Michigan trade group applauds new dredging bills
Posted onMichigan Gov. Rick Snyder recently signed a dredging assistance package.
For the last few months, the Michigan Boating Industries Association and its lobbying firm in Lansing, Muchmore Harrington Smalley and Associates, have been working to establish solutions and funding for dredging in the state.
The package Snyder signed Wednesday contained five bills:
• HB 4398: Watercraft; marinas; dredging material from Great Lakes bottomlands determined to be largely sand; revise permit fee.
• HB 4399: Natural resources; Great Lakes; expedited permit process; allow for emergencies.
• HB 4400: Watercraft; marinas; dredging material from inland lakes and streams determined to be largely sand; revise fee.
• SB 233: Natural resources; funding; natural resources trust fund; provide appropriations.
• SB 252: Watercraft; marinas; marina dredging loan origination program.
MBIA chairman Jim Coburn, executive director Nicki Polan and MBIA member Jim Mrozinski, of Onekema Marine, attended the signing by the governor and thanked him for supporting the marine industry.
Public Act 9 provides funding for dredging Michigan's public harbors and Public Act 10 provides for the low-interest loan program.
The MBIA said it will quickly reach out to the banker's association to find participating lenders in the dredging program.
