Foundation drainage: this article discusses building foundation drainage: footing drains, used to prevent foundation leaks and building water entry. This article series discusses types of drainage system s, including foundation drains or "french drains" for preventing wet basements and crawl spaces. Green links show where you are. © Copyright 2015 InspectApedia.com, All Rights Reserved. Foundation Drain Systems - Footing DrainsOur page top drawing of types of indoor foundation and basement drainage systems is provided courtesy of Carson Dunlop Associates. [Click to enlarge any image] Definitions of a Footing Drain, French Drain, & Perimeter Drain?A footing drain, that is an exterior foundation drainage system placed outside the foundation wall near the wall footing, at the level we show, covered with gravel, and if the footing drain going to do anything, it is piped to daylight or to a catch basin that is in turn pumped to daylight or to a storm drain. Well plenty of people do call interior foundation drains or perimeter drains a "french drain". We don't. A "French Drain" is an outdoor buried drain line constructed to carry water away from the building, typically to a drywell or catch basin. Our sketch shows how we remove water from roof runoff that pours down a downspout. Details about French Drains are at FRENCH DRAINS for DOWNSPOUTS So what is the difference between a french drain, a footing drain, and a perimeter drain. A French drain is shown above, and a footing drain is shown in our two sketches below. A perimeter drain is an indoor drain cut into the floor around the perimeter of a basement or crawl space to intercept and remove water from the building interior. We illustrate perimeter drains above. Details about interior perimeter drain systems are at PERIMETER DRAIN SYSTEMS Building Footing Drain DetailsFind the end of the footing drain system that used to drain to daylight (see our photo below). The foundation drain system may have become buried with mud or covered by backfill. Clear any blockage at the end of the footing drain extension, open and check the end for water flow in wet weather.
Clogged Footing DrainsEven if foundation drainage was properly installed when a building was constructed, the system may no longer be working. Over time fine soil particles can enter and clog the foundation drainage system. If you know that a foundation drain system was installed - perhaps you can find the end of it as we illustrate above - and if the building foundation is leaking water from low on the foundation walls, and if little or no water is coming out of the end of the footing drain in wet weather, it's a good bet that the drain system has clogged. Our photo (below left) shows the footing drain that was excavated and removed at the home of a client whose house suffered recurrent flooding. The old footing drain was totally impacted with mud. The photo at above right shows the ends of three new footing drains that were installed and carried to daylight. We remained a little nervous about just what the builder used for backfill - notice that silty mud coming out of the new drains? They may not have a long life.
Foundation Drainage Backfill Details to Prevent Basement Water Leaks
Overloaded Footing DrainsWe explain at GUTTERS & DOWNSPOUTS that it's a bad idea to connect the roof drainage system to the building footing drains. The added water volume may overload the drain system leading to foundation leaks. And worse, when later in the life of the building the foundation drains clog, we suddenly begin directing 100% of the roof runoff into a lake of water trapped around the building foundation - virtually guaranteeing that the basement floods. Our photos (below) show a home whose roof drainage system passed through the crawl space wall, across to the other end of the building, exited the crawl space to go back outside where it dove down into the building footing drain system. The result was a constant wet finished basement. Notice in our second photo (below right) that a clue telling us the whole drainage system was clogged and backing up was that during rain water leaked out of the tee at the top of the vertical drain line that was connected to the footing drains. At a recently constructed home we determined that the roof gutter system was connected to the foundation drains, and warned the buyer about the chances of basement flooding. The home was ten years old, and the basement, by every inside inspection indication, was "dry". But two years later, following a period of heavy rain the client called to exclaim "Geez, our basement is full of water!" IT was like throwing a switch. The footing drain outlet clogged and the basement just filled right up.

What was life really like in Bible times?
When we read the Bible, we encounter many manners and customs from the ancient world that the first readers of the Scriptures would have been familiar with. But being so far removed from that world, we modern readers often miss the full meaning--both literal and figurative--of biblical imagery.
This fully illustrated guide aims to restore clarity and vitality to these portions of God's Word in order to help us grasp the full meaning of Scripture. It covers a whole host of issues, imagery, and customs, such as
The cultural practices of the past are fascinating on their own, but even more so as they help us correctly interpret God's Word and apply it to our lives.

text: http://techcrunch.com – In one of the oddest cases of an April Fool's joke coming true, Digitimes is reporting that Foxconn is looking at opening LCD TV plants in LA or Detroit. These plants will focus on automated production lines and build mostly LCD TVs as too much hand-work is required to assemble more complex mobile electronics. The company is also rumored to be working on a sort of engineer exchange program with MIT and will bring American engineers to China to train at Foxconn's factories there. We can obviously take Digitimes with a grain of salt here, but the prospect of having a plant in Detroi (IT news)

Red Velvetview more less of this reviewBest production we've seen of this humorous musical! We've seen it done at several other venues, including the Fox, but never by a more talented cast. This group was amazingly together with their choreography and blend of voices. The lead voices were outstanding as well. This is definitely worth seeing even if you've seen it before. For those who have never seen Joseph, this is a must-see! Highly entertaining!

Milwaukee is "one of the 11 greatest foodie cities:" for bacon?
I'm always thrilled when Milwaukee makes yet another national list.
Today's list, from Suzy Strutner at The Huffington Post, says that Milwaukee is one of "The 11 Greatest Foodie Cities in America." Great news, and this list is really no different than all of the other national lists that Milwaukee's landed on -- well, kind of. We are an amazing food and foodie city. But, I will admit I was a bit thrown off by this recent honor as it basically list Milwaukee because of its amazing bacon options.
The Huffington Post was certainly trying to find different things to focus on for the 11 cities listed -- and, apparently, Milwaukee's delicacy was bacon. I love bacon, and Milwaukee has a ton of great bacon options, tis true, Ms. Strutner.
Here is the full post:
Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Never has a city shown such utter devotion to all things bacon. Try bacon-wrapped meatloaf at The Comet Cafe, sourced locally from those lush Wisconsin fields. There's a peanut butter bacon burger at AJ Bombers, and Saloon Calhoun hosts a weekly happy hour with FREE BACON. The city's radio station -- literally called "The Hog" -- hosts an annual Baconfest in conjunction with the Harley Davidson Museum. To clear your arteries, sprint through nearby Cudahy's Race for the Bacon... don't worry, there's bacon at the end.
Does Milwaukee want to be known as the "city of bacon?" Is this our next claim to fame? Beer, cheese -- and now bacon? We have no shortage of it with delicious locally made options from Usinger's, Patrick Cudahy, Nueske's and more.
But to me, tagging us with this new label feels a bit off. It feels like a step back, of sorts. Milwaukee, bacon city. That kind of feels like being known only for "Laverne & Shirley" or The Fonz. As much as I love them, I also want Milwaukee to be known for more than just the bacon craze and contributing to waistlines.
We've certainly had accolades for our abundance of farm to table options, our locally sourced food and more. I just hope all the readers of Huffington Post also read those. And, I hope everyone comes to visit Milwaukee soon. We are indeed a foodie destination.
I guess we could be known for worse things -- and who am I to judge, because I will no doubt order some bacon again soon.

PvE Scimitar (self.stobuilds)
submitted 11 months ago by internetonsetadd
Someone asked about my Scimitar build yesterday. Here it is. It does 25K on the regular, 30K on a good run, although my CLR parses sometimes dramatically underreport compared to the CLR parses of others, so who knows. I use the same basic build on an engineer, 20-25K.
I resisted putting any of my captains in a Scimitar for a long time, but reconsidered after getting frustrated by the Ar'kif Singularity Beam's habit of inexplicably cutting out and Cryptic's insistence that it's WAI, along with my general disillusionment with cannons.
I realize that the Scimitar is capable of doing a lot more DPS than I'm getting out of it, but this build is influenced somewhat by my early impressions of the dreadnoughts when they were released, when I watched them explode left and right around me in STFs. So this build is probably safer than it needs to be, but it's also very stable and practically flies itself. My heals also tend to be free to bestow upon others.
Not really looking for advice, but I certainly won't be sad panda if anyone sees something I could improve upon. Just keep in mind that I'm not after lolhbdbbq DPS.

Building a pve scimitar is essentially a solved problem (we're pretty sure what we have now is perfectly optimized). Not sure why you have a flow cap instead of a nukara converter and you'd be tankier and do more damage with faw1 apb1 faw3 apo3 as your commander tac.

by Alanah McGinley on 11/27/08 at 07:58 PM ET
Comments (0)
From David Shoalts at the Globe & Mail:
The Toronto Maple Leafs and Brian Burke have reached an agreement on a contract, which is still not official because he has not signed it, and he could be presented to the hockey public as the team's new president and general manager on Friday.
A source familiar with the negotiations indicated that the only thing that remains to be done is to get Burke's signature on the contract, which is expected to happen on Friday. Burke has been in Boston all week with his family to celebrate the U.S. Thanksgiving and did not plan to travel to Toronto until Friday.
Update 6:00pm ET: From TSN, the deal is signed—
The Brian Burke saga has finally reached it's conclusion as Burke has officially signed his contract with the Toronto Maple Leafs and will become the team's President and general manager.
The Toronto Sun is reporting that Burke signed the papers at his home in Boston prior to his Thanksgiving dinner.
Update 6:17pm ET: TSN has changed their report at the same link. It now states the deal is not signed:
Burke says he's been told the deal is done, however he hasn't reviewed or signed the contract as of yet.
Nothing is expected to be finalized until Friday.
Sportsnet.ca reports it's a 6 year deal but that the announcement isn't expected till Saturday.

via Mike Knobler of the AJC,
(Ian)White called Kovalchuk "selfish" for going after him and taking a double-minor that could have hurt Atlanta. Kovalchuk said he was just finishing what White started.
White's version: "I finished my check off. Clean hit. And then he took a run at me on the far blue [line]. So I followed him up the ice, I was saying something to him, and he stopped, and I wasn't expecting that, obviously. I was protecting myself. That's the ugly part of the game. He'll get what's coming to him."
Kovalchuk: "Whatever he wants to say. The score on the board, we win. We get two points [in the standings]. We've got three games [left] against them, so if he's got something he wants to say, I'm always ready to answer."

Brian Burke? Hates European players.
"Really, the league is pretty 50-50 these days, there's so many Europeans," the player said, shaking his head when asked about Burke's reputation. "I don't think there is that mindset any more. Not really. There are certain jobs and roles that appeal to certain types of players, but I think that's the same whether the guy's a Canadian or a Euro."
The player paused. "I don't think people view it that way any more … although, I don't know that for sure."
An hour or so later, Alexander Steen — the player talking — was traded by the Maple Leafs to the St. Louis Blues

from David Shoalts of the Globe and Mail,
Brian Burke and Gord Kirke are in the final lap of negotiations that will see Burke introduced as president and general manager of the Toronto Maple Leafs in time for a big splash on the Hockey Night In Canada broadcast of their game with the Philadelphia Flyers.
It is still too early to say Burke is officially signed, but at this point there is no reason to believe the remaining details, which involve the power structure under Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment president Richard Peddie, cannot be worked out. If so, Burke will likely be introduced as the new Leaf boss on Friday or Saturday.

Burke Had Nothing To Do With Leafs Trade
by Paul on 11/25/08 at 12:28 AM ET
Comments (0)
This should answer some of the emails I received today asking if Burke was behind the Leafs trade today. As I responded to many of you, he is still employed by the Ducks and would not anything unethical.
from David Shoalts of the Globe and Mail,
The popular sentiment, at least until Brian Burke's cellphone started ringing, was that his fingerprints were all over yesterday's Toronto Maple Leafs trade.
"This is the fourth call I've had and you all have the same question," he barked down the line from Boston, where he is visiting family for the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday. "No one from the Leafs talked to me about this, nor would it be appropriate for me to have any input. I am still officially an employee of the Anaheim Ducks."
That could change by the end of the week, since an offer has landed in Burke's hands.
Burke plans to stay in Boston until the end of the week but he will be talking to the Maple Leafs by telephone.

Trying To Understand The Blues Trade
by Paul on 11/24/08 at 08:11 PM ET

from Jeff Gordon of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch,
Winger Lee Stempniak was the rarest of commodities, a real offensive threat drafted and developed by the Blues.
So his departure for underachieving Maple Leafs Alex Steen, a versatile forward, and Carlo Colaiacovo, a rangy defenseman, is a bit of a head scratcher….
How could the Blues give up on a home-grown shooter who scored 27 goals two years ago and was producing at a point-per-game pace this season?
We'll need some convincing in this corner of cyberspace. This deal sounds suspiciously like a Ron Caron trade, moving a potential standout for depth.
We're not saying Colaiacovo is Murray Baron and Steen is Ron Sutter, but . . .

Prior to tomorrow night's Maple Leafs-Chicago Blackhawks tilt at the Air Canada Centre, a banner sporting Wendel Clark's familiar No. 17 will be hoisted to the rafters in honour of the contributions the rugged forward made to the Original Six team over the years.
In celebration of Wendel Clark Night, all fans attending the game will receive a special Wendel Clark moustache in recognition of No. 17's trademark facial hair. The crowd will be encouraged to wear them, with organizers hoping to turn the capactity throng into 20,0000 Wendel lookalikes.
The fans might not be the only ones sporting those moustaches either.

Colaiacovo Takes Two Shots

from Mike Zeisberger of the Toronto Sun, ...
while Leafs coach Ron Wilson said he did not expect Colaiacovo's ailment to be an issue, watching the defenceman limping around suggested otherwise….
Acknowledging that Colaiacovo was en route to having X-rays taken, Wilson suggested that Colaiacovo's injury-plagued history is related to less-than-ideal physical conditioning.
"The big thing with Carlo — and I tell him that every day — is that 'You're not in very good shape. It leads to all the other issues in the past'," Wilson said, adding the organization is working with Colaiacovo to improve his preparation.

Andersen oval condensation
I have a number of Andersen casement windows with the classic oval condensation on the inside of the glass. Note I mean inside the house not between the panes. I ran a straight edge along the glass and it is clear that the glass in the middle is collapsed towards each other. Also surprising how much the temperature varies from the edge to the center of the glass on my ir thermometer. I turned down the humidifier to stop the condensation. But I would like to fix the windows.
From what I understand the fix is too drill a hole in the frame to let air in to the space but how is the frame sealed afterwards? Seems like I can drill a hole as well as the next guy so considering fixing this myself. Anyone out there with experience or know about the process that can walk me through it?
You are misunderstanding what you have read. Drilling a hole in the glass of a window that has condensation on the exterior surface inside your house will do nothing but make the problem worse. There maight be some value in doing this if the condensation was between the panes. The only way to get rid of the condensation is to reduce the humidity level in your home and allow for greater air circulation around the glass.
Hi skydawggy,
I think you might not be following what I am saying. The reason for the condensation is that the panes have been pulled together in the middle thus decreasing the temp in that area. Drilling the hole allows air to enter the space between the panes and allows the panes to return to their original position and no longer be collapsed I the middle. Thus increasing the space between the panes where they should be. There have been other posts on this topic in this forum but I didn't see details in them for exactly how the repair is completed. Note I also didnt say drill a hole in the glass but the frame.
Sky was referencing what is a very common phenomenon with seal failures and the resultant accumulated moisture in between the panes of glass.
What you have is the classic Andersen failure in which case the argon has leaked out and not been replaced by other atmospheric gases. As a result, the negative pressure inside the IGU has narrowed the space across the middle and created a closer thermal bridge and therefore dew point location.
I would suggest you first call Andersen. It was my understanding that they had replaced or at least offered cost on replacement units with the newer spacer system and Low-e. If that is not an option, drilling the IGU (provided it is not tempered glass) should relieve the pressure and allow the panes to return to normal spacing.
Be careful doing it as it can pop back somewhat suddenly. Use PPE and gloves if you go that route.
Hi windows,
You got it. Question is do I go thru the frame or the glass? And in either case what do I use to seal the hole. I am in touch with Andersen so waiting to see what they have to say. The windows are pretty old so we'll see.
Thanks for the warning on the glass I was wondering about that.
Through the glass is usually easiest but if you can access the spacer that is a bit safer and minimizes your chance for foul up.
They sell these little breather tubes online but you might be fine with nothing.
Let me know what Andersen says.
You are describing a classic example of collapsed glass.
For a bit of background, collapsed glass is not a seal failure, in the sense that there was a physical breach in the IG seal system, rather collapsed glass occurs in argon-filled windows when the argon decides to leave the IG airspace and it isn't replaced resulting in a partial vacuum within the IG airspace which draws the panes of glass inward. This is why you can use a straight edge to see that the glass is concave.
You cannot have both seal failure and collapsed glass at the same time (okay, there is an exception - there always is - but I won't go into it unless someone asks), because by definition with collapsed glass the IG seal is still intact and with seal "failure" the seal is no longer intact.
If the seal fails then air can get into the airspace and the glass in your IG unit will no longer be concave the vacuum is gone - so the simplest fix for collapsed glass is to vent the airspace by drilling a tiny hole either thru the glass or thru the IG spacer which will allow air into the space, equalizing pressure. The hole is then sealed and the window is again performing at close to the original energy performance specification - less the argon fill.
Collapsed glass is directly related to the materials and techniques used to manufacture the original IG units. At the time yours were made they were state-of-the-art and no one had even the slightest idea that argon could dissipate thru the spacer material without being replaced by air or that collapsed glass was even possible.
Modern materials and manufacturing techniques have virtually eliminated this problem (with a few very rare exceptions - almost always related to fabrication error), but back in the early 90's when your IG's were fabricated - different story.
Ironically, and as I mentioned previously, collapsed glass ultimately means that the IG's were very well made and that the seals have held up very well over the years which is why drilling a hole to vent the space works. Again, if the seals had failed then there wouldn't be a collapsed glass issue.
You need to contact Andersen right now...I mean immediately today since the IG's with this issue are coming very close to the end of the 20 year warranty period.
In the event that your glass has actually touched in the center, then the best option is IG replacement rather than repair...but that is something you would have to discuss with Andersen.
Also you will find that Andersen is very customer service oriented on this issue and will be receptive to your preference for replacing the IG's or "fixing" them.
The fix works very well and is the least disruptive alternative to solving the problem, but replacing the IG's or in many cases the sash (its ultimately easier than replacing an IG so they do that quite often), means getting a state-of-art unit 20 years more advanced than the current windows that you have now.
Again, you need to discuss alternatives with Andersen so call them asap and tell them you have a collapsed glass issue!!
Please reply back here with their response
and I so need to learn to read entire threads before replying since WoW had already described it perfectly (+1).
Anyway, if you insist on fixing it yourself I can tell you how to do it exactly as they would do it, but first I really (strongly) recommend calling Andersen - its a free fix so take advantage of it.
Hi Oberon,
Thanks for the response your reply to a similar question is now I was even able to understand what is going on in the first place. Always awesome to have people like yourself and wow who are willing to get on here and share your knowledge. I think my windows are over the 20 years which is really unfortunate because I have been in this house for 5 years and just now figured this out. These windows with the problem are in an addition that i believe was completed in the late 80s. The hole house has these windows but I only noticed it in the addition. Makes me think I should check the rest. I'll keep you posted.
hi favabean,
You are welcome.
In the lower right corner of your windows you will see the AW logo. In that logo will be a manufactures date code telling you the quarter and year of fabrication.
Even if the windows are older than 20 years, tell AW that you have a collapsed glass issue and see how the respond. Call AW directly (you can find the number on their website) rather than calling a distributor.
Yeah they are mostly 4-89 and 1-90. I sent them an email over the weekend and they responded already with some questions. No sense yet of what they are willing to do. I just checked and the sliding patio door and another window are both collapsed. I would guess most of the remaining 8 windows also have this issue to some degree. In the email they clearly stated that my issue is the collapsed panes so thats a start.
You can't drill the patio door through the glass so don't try that one.
You will get more than your bargained for.
Yep. Tempered glass on that one.
Heard back from Andersen. They offered to sell me new sashes or directed me to a repair shop but sounds like I am on my own. They don't seem to want to help cover any of the cost. The windows are outside the warranty but I was hoping they would work with me a bit given this particular issue clearly being a manufacturing problem. So it's repair time. Anybody have any idea what the cost per window might be if I hire it out? Also mind sharing a step by step guide thru the repair. Sounds like it's drill hole in glass. Patch hole in glass but I am sure there are some extra details in there.
On the patio doors could I drill through the frame there instead or is there some other way to repair this? Andersen said they can't be repaired because of the tempered glass but figure it was worth asking. I am considering replacing that door with french doors anyway. The big issue is this room is pretty much nothing but windows and this door and they all have this issue. So it's by far the coldest room in the house.
Thanks again,
I sent another note to Andersen and they said they are now going to have a Senior Technical Advisor give me a call. Not sure what to expect from that conversation. I will say they have been pretty responsive but I am thus far not completely thrilled with their response. We'll see.
If you go to Andersen's website you can locate your closest Andersen Service Provider. They have the tools to repair collapsed glass. If the windows are older then 20 years, they are no longer covered. It's a relatively easy fix and should not be expensive compared to replacing the glass or new windows. I do it all the time......
Finally talked to them. They refused to do anything about it. Thanks Andersen. I tried to tell them about other companies I have dealt with that built known defective product and how they extend their warranties or provided some recourse for consumer to not pay full price on the repair. But they wouldn't do squat. I tried other tricks but they didn't go for it.
Oh well. Time to drill holes in 20 wndows.
It's a bit surprising how much this impacts the temp of the glass. There is a 5-8 degree difference between the edges of the glass and the center. That's a significant amout of wall space in this room occupied by this glass. The visible glass is 24 x 55 and there are 8 panes like that in this part of the house with 7 of them in one room. Plus the panes on the patio slider.
Looking forward to the fix and seeing how much better the temp is in this part of the house.
No offense intended to WoW, but you should be well able to feel a difference. 3 most common things I hear after repairs:
1. More comfortable
2. Less HVAC activity & lower utilities.
3. Exterior noise diminished.
To address the R-value quotient-a single pane glass, which is essentially what you have when two panes of glass are touching, is about 1 RV. Bringing them back apart to the correct spacing with a repair results in about a 3 or 4 RV, depending on product & air space size.
I am sorry if you post up based on what you feel is the truth but the actual truth is something else.
The R-Value of a dual pane unit (unsealed, without Low-e and/or argon) is going to be about 2.
While and R-2 is 2X that of a monolithic pane of glass (R-1), the total value of that IGU (even under large negative pressure) was not and R-1 on average and only that low near the center where the glass was near bridged.
Changing increasing the R-Value via resetting the IGU spacing to its intended depth will help, but the difference will be slight in total impact.
If you averaged out the decreased R-Value across the center and the improvement, it still won't account for anywhere near a 2X increase in R-Value.
This post is a real DOOZEy.
Argon does not leak out and cause a vacuum.
Don't drill into the insulated space. You'll regret that in more than one way.
What altitude are you at, at home? Sounds to me like your windows needed capillaries for altitudes above 4000'??

far too many dogs allowed in the best part of the pub, we had to relocate to a back room which was not as nice as the bar area, unfortunately dogs were allowed to access the bar from the back enterance even though the back room had a notice that dogs were not allowed in there. We had five different dogs making a lot of noise, and one was even allowed on the table. I love dogs but not in a restaurant where one goes for a peaceful meal on a special occasion. |

Everything Glows LyricsArtist: D-A-DAlbum: Everything Glows I keep all my hate to myself I keep the polaroids of my hell I keep all my hope to myself Days when life does man a favor Days when everything glows Days when luck is handed over Still my eyes are closed Days when life just grabs your shoulder Days when everything flow Luck has found its rightful owner Still my eyes are closed.. I know that your eyes are on fire I know that your ears are on me And because my thinking is quiet I'm the calm and deep blue sea Days when life does man a favor... Days when life just grabs your shoulder

Hi my name is Tiara and I am new to the Bay area. I'm a young professional who likes to have a lot of fun. I'm originally from Southern California but have bounced around the country since starting my career out of college. I love to spend time with friends and family.

I spend a lot of time running, especially around Lake Merritt. I enjoy a variety of things, fine dining, hole in the wall restaurants, movies, museums, shopping, and dancing. My ideal match would be a fun loving guy who shares similar interest to mind. The kind of guy who wants to go out and do things but doesn't mind staying in sometimes. He would have great character and easily adapt to any given environment. Most of all he'd be able to appreciate the little joys of life.

A perfect day to me would be spending time outside. Catching some sun, even if its reading my nook in the park. I love exploring new areas and making friends. Catching movies, seeing a concert, or grabbing dinner.

West Pierce Fire & Rescue: Celebrate the Holidays Safely
- Details
- Category: Press Releases
- Published on Monday, 24 November 2014 13:20
Thanksgiving is just around the corner and West Pierce Fire & Rescue would like to remind residents to be safe this holiday. Cooking fires are one of the leading causes of residential fires, so please remember these tips while in the kitchen.
- Do not leave the kitchen while food is cooking on the stove. Stovetop fires are very common and can quickly get out of hand. If you need to leave the kitchen for any reason, take a spatula or wooden spoon with you to remind yourself that something is on the stove.
- Be sure to wear fitted clothing while cooking. Loose sleeves can quickly catch fire when reaching over the stove and burners.
- Use a timer when cooking. To avoid burnt food or forgetting something is in the oven, a timer is a great tool to use. This also greatly reduces the risk of a kitchen fire.
Turkey fryers have become increasingly popular this holiday. While delicious, turkey fryers cause many home fires. Besides fires, devastating burns and other injuries can be sustained by using these types of equipment. The National Fire Protection Association offers the following information about the dangers of turkey fryers.
- Hot oil may splash or spill during cooking. Contact between hot oil and skin could result in serious injury.
- In deep frying, oil is heated to temperatures of 350° Fahrenheit or more. Cooking oil is combustible. If it is heated above its cooking temperature, its vapors can ignite.
- Propane-fired turkey fryers must be used outdoors. Many parts of the country may have rain or snow at this time of year. If rain or snow hits the hot cooking oil, the oil may splatter or turn to steam, leading to burns.
- Turkeys must be completely thawed before placing in the fryer, because a partially thawed turkey will cause the oil to splatter causing serious burns.
- The fryers use a lot of oil, about five gallons. Considering the size and weight of the turkey, extreme caution must be taken when placing and removing the turkey from the fryer to be sure its is not dropped back into the fryer, splattering the oil on the chef.
West Pierce Fire & Rescue wishes all residents a happy and safe Thanksgiving holiday.

City Council Adopts 2015-16 Annual Budget
On Monday, Nov. 17, the Lakewood City Council unanimously adopted its 2015-2016 Biennial Budget. It is a balanced budget that results in residents getting an increase in services. One example: For the first time in a number of years, this budget increases resources to preserve and maintain the City's road system, which is a key priority identified by the Lakewood City Council. This budget reflects the City's commitment to providing quality services and amenities to residents while reestablishing Lakewood's short- and long-term financial viability. Other highlights include:
- Increases resources to preserve and maintain the City's road system.

- WHERE: Lakewood Police Department, 9401 Lakewood Dr. SW.
- WHO: The Emergency Food Network, as in Police has partnered with the organization that provides food to some 60 food banks
There are several reasons to donate to the Fallen Officers Food Drive, including:
- E.F.N.: It supports the Emergency Food Network. Enough said. Your donations will do good across Pierce County.
- Super Simple: If you can't make it Nov. 26, just drop off donations at the Lakewood Police Department a few days prior. You can even donate online at fallenofficerfooddrive.org to make a Paypal donation or Text HUNGER to 85944 to donate $10.
- Bang For The Buck: The potential difference is massive. Donate one $1, and the Emergency Food Network can distribute over $12 worth of food. Help feed struggling families or buy that snack out of the vending machine? Simple choice, really.
- Aiming High: The Fallen Officers Food Drive is thinking big this year. The goal is $50,000 and 50,000 pounds of food. That's half of what has been donated in the previous four years. Combined. We need your generosity. Can you help us get there?

Lakewood Business Showcase: Boo Han Market
Mayor Don Anderson recognized the family-owned and -operated Boo Han Market as the Business Showcase for November 2014 during the Nov. 17 City Council meeting. Boo Han immigrated from Korea to Lakewood in 1973 and earned enough money to open the store.
- Jae Han, Boo Han's son, attributes the store's successful run, in part, to his family's spirit of hard work and dedication. He also credited a notion that's even simpler: The store talked and listed to its customers. It found out what they wanted, what foods they missed from Korea and provided those products at the lowest possible cost.
- One of the big reasons for the Boo Han Market's success is its positive relationship with its native city.
- Aside from the City of Lakewood, several Korean-language media from the Northwest appeared for Monday's presentation, including Sportsseoulusa Koreatowndaily, the Korean Daily NW Branch and KO-AM TV.
- The best part: Boo Han's grandchildren presented him with flowers.
- The City of Lakewood would again like to thank Boo Han Market for being such a wonderful business.

Cascade Regional Blood Services Presentation

The organization thanked the City of Lakewood, particularly its Parks and Recreation Department, for its support. Check out photos of the presentation here: http://goo.gl/DVbrqF

The students did a presentation on their homeland, as well as performed a cultural dance. The community of Lakewood is honored at the opportunity of hosting these energetic, ambitious and curious students. Although they leave back to Japan on Wednesday, it's a great chance to showcase who we are.

City Council Adopts 2015-16 Biennial Budget
- Details
- Category: Press Releases
- Published on Tuesday, 18 November 2014 13:05
On Monday, Nov. 17, the Lakewood City Council unanimously adopted its 2015-2016 Biennial Budget.
It is a balanced budget that results in residents getting an increase in services. One example: For the first time in a number of years, this budget increases resources to preserve and maintain the City's road system, which is a key priority identified by the Lakewood City Council. This budget reflects the City's commitment to providing quality services and amenities to residents while reestablishing Lakewood's short- and long-term financial viability.
The budget also includes funding for several new park improvement projects, including upgrades to the Waughop Lake Trail, expansion of Springbrook Park, replacement of playground equipment and new docks at Harry Todd Park, and trail improvements at the Chambers Creek Properties in partnership with the City of University Place and Pierce County.
An essential component of this budget is the City's allocation of financial resources to establish a proper level of reserves. The 2015-16 budget gradually returns the City to sound financial footing by replenishing General Fund reserves to meet its 12% policy objective by the end of 2016. The reserves are intended to accommodate unexpected operational changes, legislative impacts and other economic events that affect the City's operations.
This balanced and strategic approach has resulted in a spending plan that adapts to the changing needs of our community without compromising our financial future.
In terms of numbers, General Fund operating revenues are projected to grow 2.7% in 2015 and another 1.2% in 2016, which is slightly better than historical trend between 2009 and 2014, when the average growth was closer to 1.5% per year. General Fund operating expenditures are projected to grow 0.4% in 2015 followed by 2.2% in 2016, reflecting the necessary changes to stop using one-time monies and reserves to balance the budget. Simply put, that practice is not sustainable.
The end result of this budget is that the General Fund will be balanced and operating expenditures will not exceed operating revenues, resulting in a positive operating margin in both 2015 and 2016.
The City is dedicated to meeting service demands and providing them to our citizens, both in the near- and long-term. This requires reevaluating the paradigms that have been governing the City for a number of years.
We will be looking to economic development, focusing primarily in our commercial areas, to generate additional property and sales taxes. Locally, we see nothing but opportunity in our key commercial areas such as the Towne Center, Springbrook, Tillicum, and the Pacific Highway South corridor, which is directly adjacent to I-5 with multiple prime properties ready for redevelopment and revitalization. Areas such as the International District and Woodbrook Industrial Business Park area stand ready and available for new investment to create jobs and opportunity for Lakewood and our region.

Cramer: Focus on Good Stocks, Not Bad News
We miss the continuing improvement in housing and the housing-related stocks, one that won't be derailed by a rancorous debt-ceiling debate and will stay stoked by low rates and affordability, augmented by a gigantic rebuild in the Northeast.
We miss the steep recovery rally in tech with everything from Apple (AAPL - Get Report) to Facebook (FB) on the move, the former because tax-gain selling is over and the latter because numbers may be too low and at last the promise could be realized because of the newfound embrace of mobile opportunities.
We fail to capitalize on what might just be an increase in small businesses now that the cliff cloud has cleared. I keep thinking about the words of Marty Mucci, keeper of the tax bills for so many as CEO of Paychex (PAYX), that if we just got some certainty, then people will begin to start new businesses again at a pace that used to be rather natural. Well, we have that new level of certainty.
Finally, I keep thinking that there really was a small minority that held our nation hostage in the end, as only 167 members of the House did rebel against a compromise, while 257 were in favor of the compromise. Couldn't the same thing happen again with the debt-ceiling wrangling? Do you sell those dividend stocks again, dump those master limited partnership stocks, the Enterprise Products Partners (EPD) and the Kinder Morgan Energy Partners (KMP) that you never should have anyway? Is that the takeaway of the rose garden that sprang from the thorns of the debate?
Throughout my 33 years in the stock market, I have always taken heed of the skeptics but have blocked out the cynics. I have done so because the Dow Jones Industrial Average was 12,000 points lower, and empirically it was the right call. As you know, when I think we are going to take a gigantic hit, as I thought we would in 2008, I am willing to shout it from the rooftops, finding a creative way to get people out of a crowded theater that was certainly on fire, only to bring them back in when the fire was out.Select the service that is right for you!

text: REPORT TITLE: CEMETERY HEADSTONES TENDER EXECUTIVE MEMBER FOR RESOURCES: COUNCILLOR N J WALKER EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR: JOHN RICHARDSON DATE: 8th FEBRUARY 2006 PURPOSE OF THE REPORT 1. To report back on the outcome of a tender exercise to achieve a value for money solution to the proposal to re-erect unstable headstones. BACKGROUND AND CONSULTATION 2. On 2nd November 2005, the report attached as Appendix A was presented to identify a potential programme to re-erect unstable headstones. A further progress report was requested to identify the cost and options arising from the tender process. The programme, which is identified in paragraph 4 of the attached report, is on schedule. A national and local advert resulted in 10 companies requesting PreQualifying Questionnaires, 5 returned the questionnaire and were short-listed for tendering, and 4 subsequently returned a completed tender document. The tender specification document was developed in consultation with the Council's Procurement Team. The scoring system allowed 70% of the marks for price and 30% for quality. As a result of the tender evaluation process, the position is as follows. 3. 4. D:\Docstoc\Working\pdf\3d56664a-0ca1-4810-804c-af7d438f74cf.doc Supplier Price per headstones Supplier A 100 Score for price This supplier withdrew the submitted tender before the evaluation process was completed. £9,450 £13,000 £14,927 796 684 620 batch of Score for quality - Total score - Supplier B Supplier C Supplier D 239 175 50 1035 859 670 Supplier A's intended price was up to £10,650 per batch of 100 headstones. Supplier B therefore, has scored highest on quality and lowest on price. The average cost per headstone is £94.50p for Supplier B, which is referred to in paragraph 8. OPTION APPRAISAL 5. The Bereavement Services Development Plan reported to the Executive on 15th September 2005 identified the options available to deal with headstones and suggested an estimated cost to re-erect headstones of £250,000. This resulted in a decision to seek tenders which have now been evaluated. The evaluation process considered a range of quality factors including environmental performance, health and safety, quality of guarantee, ability to deliver, previous experience in comparable work, equal opportunities commitments etc. In particular, Supplier B is able to guarantee the stability of all the headstones erected under the contract for a period of 15 years, compared to the minimum acceptable guarantee of 10 years. FINANCIAL, LEGAL AND WARD IMPLICATIONS Financial 6. The most accurate estimate available is that 2,500 headstones will require reerection under this contract. The total cost based on the tender submitted by Supplier B is £236,250. A £20,000 allocation has already been made to Streetscene to carry out pilot work to re-erect 200 headstones in Thorntree RC Cemetery and this work is ongoing. The current tender specification assumes that the £236,250 will be spread over 2006/7 and 2007/8, but this may be negotiable. Currently, the Council offers a £75 grant to people who have re-erected headstones at their own cost before 1st November 2005. The average cost per headstone under the tender is £94.50p. 7. 8.
