OnePulse: Age: 16 Region: Australia, Queensland, Brisbane Genre: Rap, Hip Pop Bio: I inspired myself to start rapping. But on the side, most artists. I started because music is the only way I can express what I feel. I started when I was about 16 years old. I used to just come up with rhymes and lines without realizing I could make it with some hope.

My mind's flight to poetry was not, as it turned out, incidental. Then and now, divining meaning is not a passive experience in Afghanistan. Like reading, it requires energy and imagination. Nader's arrest was a small event in a big war. No one was seriously injured. But the incident speaks volumes about the difficulties that all journalists encounter in a place where facts are easily manipulated and infinitely open to interpretation.
The mutability of "information" in Afghanistan has been among the most crippling challenges of the war for the U. S. and its allies. As one American military intelligence analyst recently told me: "Collecting intelligence is a nightmare in this terrain." Indeed, the skills required to gather reliable information in Afghanistan are the skills of a journalist—a storyteller and a story-reader—not those of an intelligence analyst, whose compartmentalized existence often prevents him from discerning any broad narrative, let alone interpreting it. I am not the first to suggest a connection between journalism and intelligence gathering in Afghanistan. Last winter, then-NATO intelligence chief Major General Michael Flynn wrote that fixing intelligence would require teams of analysts who are "empowered to move between field elements, much like journalists," gathering detailed, ground-level information. Flynn co-authored the report with Matt Pottinger, a former Wall Street Journal reporter then serving as a Marine captain. A footnote suggests that "seasoned print journalists who have been laid off in the current industry retrenchment, and who want to serve their country in Afghanistan, might be a source of talent that the State Department or other agencies could consider hiring."
For Afghan journalists, the methodological similarity between reporting and intelligence work is problematic. Journalism has little institutional standing in Afghanistan, and many Afghan reporters told me that ordinary people suspect journalists of spying. NATO's decision to arrest Nader—and the military's larger failure to understand the role of journalism in an open society—is the kind of act that encourages this confusion. It goes without saying that Afghan journalists should not be used by NATO or any other party to the conflict as primary intelligence sources, to be eavesdropped upon or interrogated in the hope of generating leads. But when Nader and Nekzad were detained, I had to wonder: Was NATO's lack of intelligence so complete—and its failure to dominate the information environment so frustrating—that forcibly questioning journalists had come to be viewed as a viable technique for both intelligence-gathering and getting the coalition's story told more favorably in the press?
For many Afghan reporters, the attraction of journalism lies as far as possible from these military and political aims. Afghanistan is an old country in the throes of sudden modernity, its people forced by international invasion and globalization to undertake a radical form of time travel. Storytelling comes naturally here, and journalism feels both innate and modern. For young Afghans, especially in big cities, it is a pathway to union with the wider world, like cell phones or the Internet. Perhaps most important, Afghan reporters view journalism as a force for justice in a place where justice is rare. "As a young person in Afghanistan, I know I cannot help," the Afghan journalist who worked with me on this story confided. "But we believe that if we join many drops, we can make a sea."
Journalism is burgeoning in Afghanistan for all these reasons. Under the Taliban, there were no private news organizations. Today, thirty-five TV stations, dozens of radio broadcasters, and hundreds of newspapers and magazines compete for Afghans' attention. Most receive at least some funding from the government, political parties, or international donors.
In recent years, the U. S. military has become more directly involved in funding Afghan media. In eastern Afghanistan last winter, an Army unit I spent time with was funneling tens of thousands of dollars to a local TV station, while maintaining that the station's editorial decisions were independent. The U. S. military routinely sets up local-language radio stations as part of its information operations campaign. The WikiLeaks release of military records last summer documented payouts to Afghan-run radio stations in return for airing content generated by U. S. military psychological operations teams.
The rapid growth of the media—and expanded funding from some quarters—have not made reporting in Afghanistan any easier. In fact, journalism has become more difficult as security has deteriorated. Political alliances have grown murkier under the weak Karzai government, deepening war has muddled the international community's intentions, and militant and organized crime networks have grown fat on foreign aid. Afghan journalists are relatively new to their work, and they have been criticized for lacking professionalism. But Afghan journalists describe the world they see: a complex place, littered with overlapping, conflicting accounts. There are no reliable sources here.

GAME OF THRONES Teases Another Crazy/Amazing Season in New Trailer
By Alicia Lutes on February 17, 2014
Holy mother of dragons, you guys. If you thought the first trailer for Game of Thrones was one worth getting excited about, prepare you have your minds blown by the latest — appropriately titled "Vengeance" — bit of anticipatory fodder from the good folks at HBO. We're in for another bloody season as evidenced by the clip (not that we'd expect anything less from the least sentimental show on television). Premiering on Sunday evening prior to the new episode of HBO's True Detective, the tease opens with Arya's nightly prayer for all those our little bloodluster hopes to kill and ends with a face we saw ages ago at the end of season two, but haven't really experienced since. Guess winter really is coming. I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm anticipating one walloper of a fourth season with little room for dawdling.
Valar Morghulis indeed.
Are you excited for Game of Thrones' April 6th return at 9e (not that we're counting down the minutes or anything)? Let us know in the comments!
This can't come back fast enough!

John Huff/Staff photographer Jim and Mindy Grant and their daughter, Lydia, 5, hold the newest arrival of their family, Jackson, who was the first baby born in 2013 at Frisbie Memorial Hospital in Rochester.
ROCHESTER — A small bundle of joy joined the Grant family on New Year's Day. At 7:36 p.m. Tuesday, a baby boy, weighing 7 pounds and 10 ounces, entered into the world, becoming the first baby to be born at Frisbie Memorial Hospital in the year 2013."It's kind of neat," said mother Mindy Grant, who said with her son being born so late in the day, she didn't expect him to be the first to be born at the hospital during the new year.The baby will likely be named Jackson, said the father, Jim Grant, who said he was considering a name with a presidential theme to it. On Wednesday, he was considering Cleveland as a middle name for Jackson.Mindy Grant said that after giving birth to three girls, having a boy will be different. "It's going to be neat having a boy," said Mindy.Jim Grant, who works as a building safety director for Rochester, noted his new son has much in store for him, especially when it comes to helping taking care of the horses, chickens, and goats at the Grants' home in Strafford. He also envisions building animal shelters and coops with his son down the road.

Stats and Stories: Increase in Resource Viewing and the Jorum Competition
Posted by on 19th January 2012
Back in September, 2011, we held the Jorum Competition, culminating in the winners being announced at the gala dinner at the ALT-C conference. Earlier today, David Kernohan, attending the SCORE conference, asked if there had been any noted knock-on effect from the announcement regarding the competition and the award. The three winners were "Testing the Functional Integrity of Ocular Reflexes", "Citing the Law Tutorial", and "The Virtual Genetics Education Centre".
Using Google Analytics, I found an increase in views of all three resources from the announcement onward, with a spike on the day of the conference in each case. In the case of the winner, there was a doubling of views by the day of the conference, a 5 time increase for the 2nd place winner just before the conference, and for the third place, a similar increase. What is also notable is that after the conference, although the peaks remain modest, there is consistent viewing throughout, all the way to the end of October, and with the "Citing the Law Tutorial", all the way into the middle of December.
I think there are two very important things to illustrate here: the first is that these resources are excellent. They were, as our judges pointed out, well thought out, developed and presented. All three had the idea of usefulness and re-use clearly in the design, and they are all fantastic materials for teaching. In other words, the reasons that people are looking at them and hopefully using them is patently obvious: they're good! Secondly, the increase in views and then the consistency of their viewing emphasises one of the key purposes for Jorum: we don't just to store great stuff; we work with the teachers and learners to disseminate the content.
We remain committed to working on increasing content and doing more with the community of learners and teachers, as well as Institutions and Subject areas, but we think this correspondence between our competition and the viewing of the resources highlights the growth and value of Jorum as a national repository.
Thanks for asking the question, David!

Tablet use increasing and not expected to slow down
According to the most recent Tablet Technology and Markets report from Futuresource Consulting, global sales of tablets surpassed 64 million units in 2011 and are projected to increase to 232 million units in 2016. This implies a 200 percent growth in sales. Not only are sales rising, but the Adobe Digital Index report predicts that tablets will produce more web traffic than smartphones by early 2013.
Most people identify tablets with the Apple iPad, but these days it's so much more than that. To name a few, there's also the Amazon Kindle, Google Nexus, Motorola Xoom, Samsung Galaxy, BlackBerry Playbook, and Sony Tablet.
Although most consumers are unwilling replace their computer entirely with a tablet, many see the device as an important addition. In 2011, tablets accounted for 10 percent of total mobile app downloads and it is projected that by 2016 they will account for nearly 20 percent. The Futuresource report also mentions that tablet owners tend to be media savvy.
So what does this mean for your business?
In short, the era of creating websites exclusively for desktops or laptops is over. Business websites must be revamped for both smartphone and tablets. Tablets and smartphones present a unique opportunity for business owners to develop mobile compatible websites in addition to their existing desktop versions. Mobile users want do the same things that desktop users do, but the content needs to be presented in a compatible way. Businesses must make sure as many people as possible can access their content.
Although some tablets and smartphones have sophisticated browsers that allow them to view full websites in miniature versions, most mobile viewports are too narrow to accommodate a desktop-based layout. Not only could viewing capabilities be affected, but if the page weight of a standard website is too large it may lead longer loading times. Longer loading times will lead to more people pressing the 'back' button before seeing your content. In addition, there are many features that smartphones and tablet devices cannot support.
In summary, mobile browsing is not a passing trend. Tablet use is increasing at an exponential rate and it's not going to stop anytime soon. If a business decides against creating a mobile alternative for their website, they can be assured to expect user frustration and the possibility to lose potential consumers.

The rumors are not true. No one soaked the dogs in gasoline and set them alight to run burning through the village. No one distributed poisoned food to kill them silently. No, what happened was a local man had had enough, and out of malice or out of pity, killed the dogs with his shotgun, loaded the bodies into his truck, and then threw them, one by one, into the sea.
I want to tell you about the dogs we had growing up. Keep in mind, we had these dogs the way the dogs themselves had fleas— they jumped between us and bit our flesh, and there were always too many of them, until they were gone. We learned early on that to keep the dogs away you didn't actually have to throw anything at them— if you stooped down and pretended to pick up a rock they'd back away. They were scabrous animals, continuously lapping at the oozing pustules that covered their bodies, often joined at the crotch into awkward two-thirds Cerberuses, heads snapping at each other, legs pulling opposite directions, tails in a tangle.
See us there, the boys of the village, growing up in American Samoa, 1991. See us there, the boys of the village, learning about sex and splattered in mud and splashed with body paint, proudly adorned with fake tattoos bought at the convenience store down the street, the store owned by the man who drove Santa through the village every Christmas in the back of his pickup truck. Like the dogs, we moved in a pack, we organized ourselves around mercurial alliances and rivalries, and we snarled and played through the village as if it were ours.
And when the dogs were gone, we lost some part of ourselves. Without the example of the pack roaming through town, or perhaps without the threat of running into a group of strays down some side-street, we drifted apart. Rivalries cemented and affections held. Names became clear: Taio'o, Johnny-boy, Graham. We each learned about and each began to proudly polish the singular first person: I, me, mine: my body and my blue skies, my memories, and my home.

quote:My experience there was far from miserable, but I also am wondering why this is some huge destination in BR. Meal was fine for what it was, but it was an altogether cheap and fairly trashy place
quote:What did the manager have to say about your epic experience?
quote:Always ask for a manger if you feel you were wrong to the point of writing a bad review.
quote:I've been twice for brunch in recent months and thought it was good, but the wait time is usually ridiculously long with people just sitting around drinking champagne. Definitely not worth the wait. Also that shrimp burger is overrated, IMO. I did enjoy the bloody marys.

A 2003 Quit advertisement titled "Pregnancy" aims to encourage women who are pregnant to consider their smoking and call the Quitline for help and advice on how to quit.
It's never been more important for pregnant women who smoke to kick the habit - after a new Australian study has shown women who smoke in pregnancy are putting their child at risk of heart attack or stroke later in life.
Frankston hospital has marked a major milestone in improving the health of expectant mothers and their unborn children - becoming the first antenatal service in Victoria to refer 100 pregnant women to the Quitline (13 7848).

Make Your Own Salsa
by Toby Amidor in Healthy Recipes, September 1, 2009
Believe it or not, salsa has topped ketchup as America's most popular condiment, according to some sales reports. Salsa can be more than just tomatoes and onions, though. Pass up the jarred stuff and make fresh mixes at home.
What Exactly Is Salsa?
Many folks confuse the terms "relish" and "salsa" so let's get those straight first. A relish is made from cooked, pickled, chopped vegetables or fruits — you'll usually find chunks within the sauce. Salsa, on the other hand, means "sauce" in Spanish and can be cooked or raw. There are several variations of salsa — you may see "salsa cruda," meaning it's uncooked, or "salsa verde," which is a green salsa made from tomatillos, green chilis and cilantro. Depending on what you prefer, you can puree the veggies and fruits or leave chunky pieces in the mix.
Nutrition Facts
A half cup of oil-free salsa (that's 8 tablespoons) typically ranges from 25 to 40 calories and contains minimal fat. Once any type of oil goes in the mix that adds 14 grams of fat and 120 calories per tablespoon. The jarred varieties typically use little added fat; check the label for specifics, but there are usually 25 calories per half cup. There are dozens of variations on salsa — some have added beans, others mix in sweeter fruits. As long as you keep it fresh and oil free, you can keep the calories under control.
Peppers are one common, good-for-you ingredient in a simple salsa mix. Use them and you add some vitamins A, C, B6 and K to your meal. Spicier salsas often have jalapenos or other chili peppers that contain the antioxidant capsaicin, which research has linked to preventing food spoilage and protecting our blood vessels. One study even found that people who drank a hot-pepper extract 30 minutes before a meal ate 16% fewer calories than those who sipped on tomato juice (without the capsaicin). So hey, if you like spicy, go for it!
I often opt for salsa over other condiments like mayo (all fat!), ketchup (the bottled kind has high fructose corn syrup) or honey-mustard (lots of sugar). With freshly made salsa, you get all the benefits of fruits and veggies without any added preservatives.
What To Pair With Your Salsa
Yes, chips, of course, but that's not it. Try dunking fresh carrots, cucumbers, zucchini, celery and broccoli into your homemade salsa. You can top a salad with some fruit-based salsa (like this grapefruit one) or add black bean salsa to a basic burrito or soft taco.
Salsa made with mango or pineapple goes well on chicken and fish, while tomato salsa gives a nice kick to seafood like mussels or swordfish. But don't just stop there. Anywhere you use ketchup consider subbing in a tomato-based salsa. I like my over-easy eggs with a spicy salsa, and I even mix salsa into my macaroni and cheese.
Making Your Own
The jarred stuff is the easy way out, but it's not hard to prep your own (especially now while we have all this fresh produce available). If you're a first timer, start with a simple chopped tomato salsa. Here are your basic ingredients:
- 2 pounds plum tomatoes (this variety has less seeds)
- 1 large onion, white or yellow
- 1-2 red or yellow bell peppers
- 1-2 jalapeno peppers (the more, the spicer! You can use less if spicy isn't your thing)
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- Salt and chopped fresh cilantro to taste
You can spend a good 30 minutes finely chopping all the veggie or just use a veggie chopper to cut prep time down to about 10 minutes (that's what I do). Once you've chopped away, add lime juice and salt to taste. Experiment with different peppers to see which you love best. Your fresh salsa will keep in the fridge for up to a week.

Good coaches concentrate on skill and also team development and they also receive teaching to help them with this.

Gnu A.S.S. Pickle tech vs Pickle tech
Is the only difference between the two the nose and tail shapes?
It seems like they're essentially the same technologies to me, just that A.S.S. extends the pickle shape past the contact points on the heel side and actually re-shape the tip and tail as well. Is there anything else that differentiates the two? |

The asym flexing core is on both.
The only difference is the heelside on ASS is deeper AND longer. Pickle is just deeper.

LONDON - Facing growing anti-Muslim sentiments, East London Muslims are opening the doors of their mosque to non-Muslim neighbors, in an attempt to promote a better understanding of Islam and Muslims.
There is more pressure on us as an institution because our mosque has come under a lot of pressure, Dilowar Khan, executive director of the East London mosque, told BBC on Saturday, March 30.
It's been criticized as being a hub for extremists, he said.
Mosque Rejection Saddens UK Muslims
London Mega Mosque Divides UK Muslims
UK Muslims Revive Mega-Mosque Plans
Located in Tower Hamlets borough, the local authority with the highest population of Muslims, East London mosque has been facing rising sentiments from its neighbors.
The problems followed the rejection of plans to build a mega mosque near the Olympic site in East London.
Earlier in 2012, a video appeared online showing men shouting homophobic abuse at another man in east London, telling him to get out of here as it is a Muslim area.
East London Mosque condemned the actions of the self-styled 'Muslim patrol'.
We felt like because this was an issue right on our doorstep we had to speak out about that one, Khan said.
Therefore, today's open doors event at the mosque was planned an attempt to correct misconceptions about Islam and Muslims.
It's very important we reach out to our neighbors who see the mosque every day but don't feel that they can come in, Khan said.
We do get visitors regularly but there are still so many people who live nearby and don't know what is inside.
The event includes inviting members of the local community to take a look inside the mosque, observe prayers and ask questions about the religion.
There will be an exhibition about the way of life for Muslims in the UK, as well as information about culture and history.
Challenging Question
Being opened to all kinds of questions about Islam and Muslim, the mosque officials assigned imams to answer visitors on complex theological questions.
Some people want to ask simple questions like whether as non-Muslims they're allowed to come in the mosque, said event organizer Shaju Khan.
Others make pretty broad requests like 'what is Islam?'
Media misconceptions about Islam were also a main part of recurrent questions from visitors.
We do have people who ask difficult questions. They may have read about Islam in the media and so they'll ask what Jihad is, which we tell them is simply a struggle, Shaju Khan said.
They have asked about the issue of women wearing the niqab.
Dilowar Khan said that an increasing number of mosques were holding similar events.
There is still a lot of ignorance out there with groups like the English Defence League wanting to vilify mosques saying they are full of fundamentalists who don't want to engage with mainstream society.
We have to play a part in changing that view.
Britain is home to a sizable Muslim minority of nearly 2.7 million; 4.8% of the population.
A Financial Times opinion poll showed that Britain is the most suspicious nation about Muslims.
A poll of the Evening Standard found that a sizable section of London residents harbor negative opinions about Muslims.

Home > Outdoors > Hunting > Pheasant Hunting
Thanks to the excellent habitat, conservation and management efforts, South Dakota is home to more than 8.5 million pheasants and is consistently the best state in the country for bird counts and harvests. In 2013, hunters bagged nearly one million birds during pheasant season. In 2014, the season opens October 18, 2014, and runs through January 4, 2015. Tentative future opening dates are October 17, 2015, and October 15, 2016.
Eastern Areas: mid-October to early January. Western Areas: mid-October to late October. Preserve Season: September through March.
Although pheasants are found statewide, the main pheasant range encompasses the eastern two-thirds of the state. Pheasants prefer agricultural fields, wooded draws, tree strips, wetlands and set-aside acres. Most of South Dakota is privately owned and permission is required to hunt, but public lands such as Game Production Areas and Walk-In Areas offer choice habitat for pheasants. Early in the season, pheasants are scattered in small flocks, but winter's fury pushes birds into heavy cover and concentrates them. Tree strips, cattail sloughs and dense weed patches hold pheasants at this time of year.

Asbestos products & applications: common forms in which asbestos was used in building materials & products. This article provides a master list of the forms in which asbestos was used, a list of known asbestos-containing materials, and links to detailed articles about individual asbestos-containing products & materials found in buildings and in a wide range of products used in both home and industry. This document assists building buyers, owners or inspectors who need to identify asbestos materials (or probable-asbestos) in buildings by simple visual inspection. We provide photographs of asbestos containing materials and descriptive text of asbestos insulation and other asbestos-containing products to permit identification of definite, probable, or possible asbestos materials in buildings. Green links show where you are. © Copyright 2015 InspectApedia.com, All Rights Reserved. Master List of Asbestos-Containing Products & Materials: of Forms, Products, & Substances Containing AsbestosThis article is an expanded, illustrated list of the applications of asbestos in a wide range of products and is an adaptation from Table 1.7. Asbestos Applications a list provided by Rosato (1959)[1] and discussed Here we provide a master list of manufactured products that contain asbestos. Common asbestos-containing building materials are illustrated separately Note that asbestos may be present in still other substances and even products, not by its deliberate use or design, but because it occurs naturally, such as asbestos that is found in some talc powders (amphibole asbestos). Note that while this is the most extensive list of asbestos-containing products & materials it is of course incomplete, as asbestos was used in thousands of products and materials and is still used in many. Contact Us to add items and photographs to this list of asbestos containing materials. Asbestos in many forms was discontinued in all home construction uses beginning in 1990, but beware: pre-1990 products might have been used in some homes built shortly afterwards. Low asbestos risk in some materials: One should note that some of these products contain such small amounts of asbestos, or asbestos in forms not easily converted to airborne fibers (non-friable), that the risk from the product is likely to be very small. One might elect to dispose of an old asbestos-containing toaster, but not to hire an environmental test firm or asbestos abatement company for that procedure. Many other asbestos-containing products, both historic and among some current products, encapsulate the asbestos fibers in cementious or resinous materials which minimize the possible release of asbestos fibers into the air. Note: most of the uses of asbestos listed here are obsolete and the products mentioned have not been manufactured for quite some time. However these products may still be encountered, particularly in older buildings and among old consumer products. However some current materials may contain and are permitted to contain asbestos. In May 1999 Asbestos Materials Bans Clarification was issued by the U.S. EPA clarified that there are some categories of asbestos-containing products that are NOT subject to a ban. For example, the Asbestos National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants, or NESHAP) rules issued in November, 1990 prohibits spray-on application of materials containing more than 1% asbestos to buildings, structures, pipes, and conduits unless the material is encapsulated with a bituminous or resinous binder during spraying and the materials are not friable after drying. [Italics inserted by -DF]. Thanks to Susan Kimball, Argus Pacific, for this clarification. See ASBESTOS REGULATION Update for details. Forms & Products in Which Asbestos Was Used - alphabeticalAsbestos was used in both its long fiber form (photo at left, Rosato, courtesy J. Mansville), woven into cloths, for example, and in a powder form (as a filler in floor tiles). These classes of asbestos fibers vary widely in size and also, depending upon the matrix of bonding or adhesive material and the mix of asbestos with other materials, the friability and release of asbestos particles from various materials varies very widely from probably below detection, to very great. It is also useful to understand that the form in which asbestos was used ranged among a number of forms. The list below (adapted and expanded from the nearly-complete asbestos product list found in Rosato) lists forms of asbestos-containing products.
Our photo (left) illustrates the use of near-pure tremolite asbestos tiles as fireproofing in the basement utility room of a building we inspected in White Plains, NY around 2005. The tremolite asbestos ceiling fireproofing panels shown above were 3/4" thick. We describe this product in detail A thinner cementious material, typically less than1/4' thick, asbestos cement millboard was used as a covering for ceilings over boilers, furnaces, water heaters, smoke stacks, etc. for fire protection - discussed

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)Question: (reader comment)Thank You for all of the information, by far your site has composed the most complete list of items manufactured with asbestos. I will pass this information on as well. Thank You - Anon 4/30/11 Reply:Thank you for the nice comment about our asbestos products list. We add to it whenever we learn of other asbestos-containing materials and welcome contributions from readers. Question: Tell me about beaverboard containing asbestosWhat can you tell me about BeaverBoard containing asbestos? - Laurel G. 6/7/11 Reply:Beaverboard is a wood fiber product. Question: How can I know if a ceiling tile contains asbestos?I have a ceiling tile 5028 MF4 9 REG on the back. How can I find out if it is asbestos? Patrick 8/30/11 Reply:Patrick, not recognizing the product numbers you refer to, you'd perhaps get fastest results by sending a small sample to a certified asbestos testing lab. Question: 1961 Johns Manville floor tile in my apartment - how do I determine if it contains asbestos.I have Johns Manville floor tile in my apartment that I think was put in around 1961 although might be earlier. It is 12 inch tile. Are there pictures of this manufacturer's tile on your website? How can I tell if it has asbestos? Thanks Reply:Use an approved asbestos test lab to examine a small sample of the flooring. Meanwhile, handle the material as PACM - presumed asbestos containing (non-friable) material. Question: Reader does not like seeing a list of asbestos products - sells asbestos testingThis "master" list of asbestos [includes ...] speculative, redundant applications of asbestos from decades-old resources like D.V. Rosato's book. [...] Furthermore, it is outright irresponsible to make any claim about "identifying" an ACM by visual means alone. The properly trained and ethical professional may properly make only assumptions about suspect asbestos materials or can use regulatory-defined determinations of certain historical materials and products as "presumed ACMs" (PACM), [...] The only legally defensible manner of asbestos identification is by approved laboratory analytical microscopy methods by properly qualified and trained microscopists, EVERYTHING is a suspect material". Antonio Rico. Reply:Antonio, we're sorry you don't like the asbestos information provided here. A still longer, photo-illustrated list of common ACM products is found at "ASBESTOS List of Asbestos-Containing Products" (article links listed at the "More Reading" links at the bottom of this article ) - with photos & links to articles of greater depth about individual ACM products. You are correct that there are some deliberate redundancies in the list of asbestos-containing products and materials. We include more than one entry in the list under different alphabetical headings as that is how we have found people searching for information they need. You are quite mistaken in condemning use of older texts as sources of lists of forms in which asbestos was used in a wide array of products. It is precisely those historically accurate sources that are more complete and insightful than a modern composer who will be unfamiliar with now-forgotten products & applications. For example, Rosato was one of the most enthusiastic publishers of information about the uses of asbestos. Furthermore, Mr. Rosato is hardly the only authoritative source that we cite in these web pages (see references below). Other ACM products can be reliably identified by the combination of knowledge of age and appearance, such as certain flooring materials, cement asbestos roofing & siding, and depending on age, asbestos cement millboard. I have worked with quite a few asbestos abatement contractors, some of whom can walk into a building and say "Look, there's Tremolite asbestos insulating board used as fireproofing on that ceiling." Like the corrugated asbestos insulating material used on heating and some plumbing piping, countless field experiences confirmed by lab testing are behind that ability. Question: does my fiberglass lined HVAC duct contain asbestos in the insulation?I have an HVAC duct that is insulated with a paper faced fiberglass looking insulation. Is this insulation likely to contain asbestos? The paper facing has decayed and I want to encapsulate the duct but am concerned about asbestos. My house was built in the 60s but my guess is the HVAC system has been updated. The paper faced ducts come off the main sheet metal ducts. - Stuart E Roberts 11/28/11 Reply:Stuart, fiberglass is just that - glass fibers, and is not an asbestos containing product. Take a look at the fiberglass articles and photos found at INSULATION IDENTIFICATION GUIDE (article link at the "More Reading" links at the bottom of this article ) for some easy visual clues that can help you recognize the material you've got. Reader follow-up: Thank you, I'm 99% sure what we have is kraft faced fiberglass insulation around our duct work. I was adding insulation to the underside of the back half of my house which is above a crawl space and noticed the duct insulation had deteriorated enough that air going to one bedroom is noticeably cooler than the rest of the house. Thinking about the current material on the ducts and the new material I was installing it looks identical. I think I'll go ahead with my plan to encased the duct but wear a bit more protective clothing and a mask. Thank you for your help! - Stuart 11/28/11 Reply: Stuart, insulating the ductwork exterior is of course good practice. But in a crawl space that might be damp or even wet, if you can use an insulating product that won't pick up moisture it'd be, IMHO, a better practice and would reduce the risk of the fiberglass forming a future mold reservoir. Question: find out if an old small cooler I have has been insulated with asbestosHello, I'm trying to find out if an old small cooler I have has been insulated with asbestos or a similar product between the outer and inner layers. It's a 40s / 50s small red metal Pleasure Chest cooler, and is rusted through on the bottom - thus, my concern over exposure. I'm sure I'm being paranoid, but thought I'd ask the question - I've looked and looked and can't find any info on it's use in this application. Thanks for the response. - Scott 2/20/12 Reply:Your options are to spend [typically[ $50. on a test by a certified asbestos testing lab, or equally reasonable, treat the material as presumed-asbestos-containing (PACM) which means sealing over the rusted metal bottom of the cooler to prevent debris from leaking out into your space. Question: asbestos in products made by several large companiesCan you tell me what products produced by Georgia Pacific, Johns Manville, and Owens Corning contain asbestos? - Concerned 5/9/12 Reply:Concerned the list is just too long for a Q&A; instead I suggest reviewing in particular the roofing and siding products made by those and other building product companies. Question: asbestos in my chicken incubator?I have an old, wooden, egg/chicken incubator made by Wisconsin Incubator Co. of Racine. It is lined on 3 sides by some type of fiber board that looks similar to asbestos. Do you know if this company made incubators with asbestos linings? - Carol 5/14/12 Reply:Carol, it was a common practice to use asbestos cement millboard in the construction of chicken coops, barns, boiler rooms, and some walk-in coolers. If that's what you have, it is cementious, not friable, and a potential hazard most likely if someone does something foolish like cutting, sawing, grinding, or demolishing to make a dusty mess. Question: worried that a 12 year old floor lamp is shedding asbestosI have a 12 year old floor lamp that I noticed has some sort of white material covering the fixture wires that go directly into the part where the light bulb screwed into. The lamp was broken and the fixture globe dangling and I wanted to cut that part off and convert the rest of the lamp stand into a candle holder. Dumb me, I cut the electrical cord right where the white fabric was and then mangled it with pliers, trying to detach it from the base. Now I am worried that the white cloth covering the cord was asbestos and I let asbestos get loose into the air of the house. I'm so terribly worried. My dad says the cloth covering was probably fiber glass because the lamp was only 12-13 years old, but I still feel worried. - Worried 5/20/12 Reply:Asbestos insulation on electrical wires is more likely to be found in theaters and inside appliances such as old toasters or ovens, not on a floor lamp. A floor lamp that's 12 year sold makes it manufactured in the year 2000 - not likely that a modern company would have used asbestos in the lamp wiring in that era. Question: where & how do I look for asbestos used in cook stove or range insulation?Dismantling a 1950s gas cooker appliance. The oven area is surrounded by a felt like blanket* insulator, the skin of the blanket is a metallic foil material. I understand cookers between 1930 and 1980 used asbestos. Would you happen to know if I'm dealing with asbestos or other offensive materiel? If you're unable to assist, where would one normally turn? *on closer inspection I note that the blanket is a whitish coloured 'needle' type fibre perhaps 1.5 - 2" thick. Yours faithfully, D.B. - 8/27/2013 Reply: not enough data; are we looking at fiberglass? cement asbestos millboard? Something else?D: from just your email I can't say what material you're looking-at. Indeed asbestos was used in many appliances as a fireproofing and as an insulator; more often as cement board. "Needle-like" in your description makes me think of fiberglass but again, without even a photo guessing about asbestos content in an unknown appliance is just so much arm-waving. White fiberglass, foil faced, may also have been used. To know what you're dealing with would require direct examination, perhaps some very sharp photographs of the material and the foil facing and any markings, or a lab test. I doubt that the cost of paid testing is justified unless some special question or expense has arisen. Without more information it would be prudent to treat the material as "PACM" presumed asbestos containing material - even if ultimately we decide it was not. Send along photos if you can. Such added details can help us understand what's happening and often permit some useful further comment. What we both learn may help me help someone else. Question: is my gas meter made of asbestos?(Jan 25, 2014) Barrie Glenn said: The gas meter housing outside my house is damaged. I intended repairing it using a fibre glass repair kit but wonder if in fact it is made of asbestos. I think it would have been installed in the 1960's. Please can you advise. Reply:Wow! Really? Barrie I would not even consider, for a nanosecond, doing my own repair to a gas meter. The risks of a leak, gas wastage, fire or explosion are just to great, even if someone didn't care to pay much heed to what the gas company or gas utility and local building codes require. I realize that in theory, working carefully with excellent preparation one could perhaps make a fiberglass repair patch that is reliable - and I guess if we were stranded on the NASA space station I'd consider trying it. But not otherwise. Call your gas company and ask them to inspect and repair or replace the meter as they determine necessary. By the way, it's doubtful that one could buy a modern fiberglass repair kit that contains asbestos. The kits we can find in auto repair stores, paint stores, body shops, etc. use a combination of a fiberglass cloth and epoxy resins. Question: asbestos used in bed mattresses?(June 2, 2014) Jackie said: Hello, Do you know roughly what years asbestos may have been used in bed mattresses? Just concerned as children have slept on these old matresses and now I am nervous. Never even thought about asbestos there. Reply:Yes Jackie asbestos was used in a stunning array of products, including as fire-resistant fabrics and coverings. Asbestos used in mattresses is discussed at inspectapedia.com/hazmat/Asbestos_Products.htm and Asbestos textiles are discussed at inspectapedia.com/hazmat/Asbestos_Textiles.php Question: asbestos used in toasters?(June 21, 2014) Patti said: I have an older toaster oven made by Mannin-Bowen product # 405014. It looks like the walls may be lined with Asbestos. should I get rid of it? Reply:Patti, indeed some older appliances, including toasters used asbestos as insulation. I suspect that if the appliance is undamaged the asbestos released from it would be below the limits of detection. If its worrying you, however, that may be sufficient reason to tell the toaster goodbye. Reader comment: asbestos induced cancer after working at Heating Elements Ltd., Wigston, Leicester(June 26, 2014) Anonymous said: my name is Gillian, I have just been told that my mother has asbestos induced cancer. 40 years ago she worked at Heating Elements Ltd in Wigston, Leicester. This terrible substance should never existed! Question: asbestos in the oven?(July 19, 2014) Tobes said: Hi everyone, we have a "Shacklock chef 24 automatic oven", that is at least 40 years old. The handle began to come loose and so we removed the front to tighten it, inside was a faded brownish, batt-like insulation that is quite fibrous. We have no idea what it is, but would certainly hope it isn't asbestos, what do you think? Thank you Reply:Tobes one cannot say for sure what insulation you describe from just a brief note, but it sounds like fiberglass or mineral wool. Asbestos insulation was used in ovens and other appliances however. Question: Asbestos in clothes dryer heat shieldsd(Aug 28, 2014) Kat Cremmins said: Can anyone tell me what clothes dryer manufacters used asbestor heat shields from 1960 to 1977? I know they had them I just don't know which ones they were. THANKS Question: asbestos in chairs made by General Fireproofing Company?9/26/2014 Carol Hoyt said: I have a old chair in my office that I have sat on and been around itfor years. I was moving things around in my office today, and I noticed a gray dust coming from underneath the seat cover (which has been torn and only partially covers the seat). On closer inspection, it appeared to be coming a gray fiber padding underneath what remains of the seat cover. The chair's manufacturer is The General Fireproofing Company (Good Form), Youngstown, Ohio. It is finished to look like wood, but according to Google, is actually made from aluminum. Can you tell me if the seat cushioning contains asbestos? Reply:Carol, The General Fireproofing Company in Youngstown OH was around from 1902 until a bankruptcy in 1989 (bought by Tang) and has a history of producing metal office furniture - perhaps in part for the fire-resistant furnishings market. Some of the company's office chairs include a padded seat whose padding is itself unlikely to be "aluminum". More likely it's foam rubber. Asbestos was used in some furniture padding but I have not found specifics about furniture products from the Geneal Fireproofing Company. If you want an authoritative answer to the question: "did General Fireproofing Company Chair Padding contain asbestos" I'd spend the $40. to send a sample of the padding material (or the dust that worried you) to a certified asbestos testing lab.
