Is solid wood flooring now acceptable on slab?
The short story is that we currently have engineered wood flooring, a water leak, ruined floors.
The guy from the restoration company told dh yesterday that if we had had solid wood instead of engineered wood flooring, we wouldn't have to replace as it doesn't suffer the damage like engineered. Huh? When we bought the engineered, every flooring company told us we couldn't put solid wood on slab.
Has something changed?
THere have been some advancements in trowel on moisture barriers (EXPENSIVE) but I don't know of any flooring professional that would trust that long term. Your restoration contractor is full of crap. Any flood that damages(quality) engineered flooring to the point of it delaminating would spell complete doom for solid wood as well.
I'm curious as to how the floors were "ruined". Were they actually delaminating, or did the water based glue that glued them in place just fail under the onslaught of the flood? If they just cupped up, then they would have just as much chance to dry out and be perfectly fine as your guy's solid wood could do. But, the solid wood would cup on the slab in regular conditions as concrete is a sponge.
The restoration company didn't give our floor a chance to cup or delaminate. They pried them up immediately or at least a portion of it. The part that is left looks ok as far as I can see, but it's hard to see with all the stuff on it.
We had a leak under the sink and the water went under the walls and through several rooms before dh got home from work and turned off the water. He called the insurance co and they told him to call this company. He did and they came right over, set up their fans and dehumidifiers and started chipping up the wood flooring, lifted the carpet and padding, drilled holes in all our cabinets to run air tubes under them. The wood flooring was still glued well. Dh said they splintered it to pieces trying to get it up. I don't know why they didn't try to just dry it out, I wasn't here. Dh thought it was because water would be trapped under it and wick through to the sheetrock and framing. But they never said so we really don't know. He was moving our furniture off the wet carpet when he heard the hammering and when he came to look, they were prying it up.
Well, it's too late now. Part of it has been destroyed and this particular line has been discontinued. We had to special order some several years ago to patch a few places where we changed the wall, and were lucky to find a box after calling around for two days.
Edited to add:
I asked dh again why they pulled up the wood where they did and he said it had already begun splitting right there. There isn't any here that shows it though. Seems like they would have left it for the adjuster to see.

If the floor was a floating installation, I could see pulling it up immediately. It sounds as if the company may have rushed to pull up your flooring, but I was not there...so what do I know. 'Sometimes' the best call is to rip it all out.
Adhesive technology has advanced to the point where solid glued directly to a properly prepared concrete slab is possible. I have not done that type of installation however. Solid wood will not delaminate, but would take a long time to thoroughly dry out from a major water event. Water seeps under the flooring and collects in the relief spaces routed into the backs of the boards. Forcing that water back out is not easy.
I'd be nervous about installing traditional wood flooring directly on the slab, no matter what the manufacturer allowed. If I decided to go for it, there would be a lot of moisture tests!
I thought the best way was to prepare the slab, apply sleepers, vapor barrier, then nail the planks into the sleepers.
I feel for you!
For my wood shop I poured a slab over 2" XPS taped at the seams, put down a poly vapor barrier, laid down 2x4 PT sleepers 12" OC, 3/4" plywood subfloor, and then traditional hardwood. (Not quite traditional, I mixed ~10 different species of wood). So far so good, no moisture problems evident anywhere, no condensation on the bottom side of the poly evident when I've had to make access holes in the floor.
Still haven't heard from the adjuster, so I haven't bothered looking for replacement flooring yet.
But what is the current method of putting engineered wood over slab now? When this was put down 4 years ago, it was glued directly to the slab. No underlayment, no painted on membrane, nothing. And we did have a problem with crazing and one place buckled. But it was not acclimated. It was brought directly to our warm house from a cold warehouse in November. I want to avoid any problems this time.

My father was in jail in Broward after he was arrested for felony aggravate assault with a deadly weapon. He had a public defender who did nothing in over one year. My dad was stuck in jail because immigration would not give bond. We hired miss Figueroa-Contreras to see if she could help defend against this felony charges. And she did a great job. She took the case to jury trial in Fort Lauderdale, it lasted 4 days, her against two prosecutors, she worked hard, and she won. The jury found my dad not guilty and within a day she got his immigration hold cleared and now he is out. I highly recomend
I had a very difficult and complex H-1B visa case. I had already worked in the U.S. for 6 years. But I had an approved I-140. Kristin Figueroa-Contreras was able to use AC21 (American Competitiveness in the Twenty-First Century Act) to help me obtain an H-1B visa beyond 6 years. My H-1B application had two RFE's (Request for Evidence) and was complicated because of other personal issues. But in the end she got the approval. She is very highly qualified and determined at helping her clients. Strongly recommended for Immigration issues.
Ms. Figueroa-Contreras is a professional. She gathers the facts and is methodical in her thinking and uses practical experience coupled with her par-excellent knowledge of the law to achieve a win-win for client and her good reputation as a professional with good results.
Kristin is great. She's not only very knowledgeable, but also friendly and always keeps you up to date. Her staff is great as well. I would recommend her services to anyone that may need her help with immigration cases. I have used her services in the past and will definitely use her as my lawyer again. Thank you Kristin!
I met Kristin through the avvo website after putting a question with my particular case and she was the only lawyer that gave me a very correct and positive answer willing to do what it takes to solve the case. I am very happy I met her since we managed to solve the pending case, she did a superb from day 1 she was very clear on how to proceed, on what to expect and how to solve everything.
She is a lawyer you could trust, she will really go out there looking for your best interest and always will have a good solution for fixing your problem. I was based in Spain and she was doing all the paperwork from the US and eventhough the circumstances were more complicated than usual she was able to do an outstanding job, sorting out everything and for sure will use her again and recommend her services for anyone looking for a profesional, honest and knowleadgeable lawyer.
I recommend that the abogada.Kristyn D Figueroa-Contreras, because she is not only excellent at what he does, keeps you informed at all times, also taken every case with a lot of dedication, seeking the best legal way to help.
Put your case in the hands of the lawyer makes you feel safe, confident and you know that things are doing well.
Besides his intelligence, responsibility and ahico, you deal with a wonderful human being!
Cristy Figueroa is highly prepared and knowledgeable in immigration legal matters. She was referred to me by another company that she helped with a blanket L visa. We are very satisfied with her work and will be using her for all our business immigration needs.

Did Gateway stop making computers? I have a Gateway XP that is Windows Vista capable with a 15.3″ screen. What windows 7
laptop would be the nearest f-f-f
to my Gateway? Thanks.
Korea Veteran
i have a acer v5 running windows 8 and i dont like it and wanna go back to 7 because am having softwere problems
I'm trying to decide what most closely compares to the constant irritation I have experienced over the past year since getting a new laptop with Windows 8. Maybe a kennel of barking dogs next door? No, actually I can't think of anything that has frustrated and angered me as much as the hated Windows 8. It is like falling down a circuitous-route hole with Alice in Wonderland.
I prefer windows 7
The worst release ever….Microsoft take Windows 8 and cram it up your arses.
Windows 8 is the most horrible os ever. Been using windows since 3.1 and never have I experienced such problems. After spending so much for my laptop, now its useless and have to buy another with windows 7 as my custom model will not accept w7. Maybe this was a ploy so people would have to purchase two computers.
I want desperately to purchase new laptop as I HATE the M-Surface I bought. Looking to find M-7 and just read your comment _
" PC users can no longer purchase new Windows 7 installs or downloads, but that doesn't mean Windows 7 is gone for good."
So if I can't get updates or downloads, what does that mean?
What do you think of the Mac Book Pro?
How do I find IPad deals?
Windows 8 is horrible. Why somebody sell something like that?
Um, I bought a Win7 disc and built a new PC myself–in APRIL. Article date is February. So it is and was still for sale, and I can still get system disks anywhere–so it IS still available
I need to find a laptop 7 any make …I have a special needs child who does not read or write but loves to play on the computer. She is learning what keys to press to get her favorite song FROZEN. I do not do computers very much or very well, so I cannot help her with something like windows 8. Where can i get a cheap laptop regular size for her. It keeps her very happy and she has less moments of crying when she is on the computer.Does anyone know where I can get one for little money. thank you

On-Site Sourcing stock falls after chairman's death
- Chet Dembeck
- Staff Reporter
Officials with On-Site Sourcing Inc. insist the unexpected death of the company's co-founder, chairman and largest shareholder will have little or no effect on operations, but one analyst said that may be wishful thinking.
Arlington-based On-Site, which sells document management software to law and accounting firms, announced July 16 the "untimely death" of John S. Stoppelman.
Stoppelman, 54, a securities lawyer in McLean, died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to two sources close to the company. The sources said Stoppelman was despondent over problems in his personal life.
Stoppelman founded On-Site in 1993 with Christopher J. Weiler, the company's president and chief executive officer. Although Stoppelman served as chairman and owned 13 percent of On-Site's outstanding stock, he was not involved in day-to-day operations, said Alfred T. Duncan, chief financial officer.
As a result, Duncan said Stoppelman's death will not affect the company. But analyst Scott Smith, who tracks the high-tech industry for Current Analysis Inc. in Sterling, said there will be ramifications.
"It's not a question of whether such a death will have a negative impact on a company," Smith said, "but how much of an impact."
Indeed, news of Stoppelman's death sent the share price of On-Site tumbling 25 percent July 16, according to analyst Andrew Scott, with M.H. Meyerson & Co. in Jersey City, N.J. On-Site shares (Nasdaq: ONSS) closed that day at $1.56, a 52-week low. The stock has since recovered slightly, closing July 21 at $1.88. The 52-week high is $3.75.
The market reacted skittishly, Scott said, because "Stoppelman was a mature and an experienced businessman who brought the work ethic to On-Site Sourcing."
But Scott said he expects On-Site stock to rebound, noting the company took steps before Stoppelman's death to strengthen its management team. Both Duncan and John C. Sabanosh, On-Site chief operating officer, were hired in the last two months. Duncan, 55, most recently served as CFO of the New Jersey Devils in the National Hockey League; Sabanosh, 47, worked as a financial manager in charge of international marketing for Phoenix International of McLean.
One unanswered question, however, is how the eventual distribution of Stoppelman's shares -- worth $1.2 million at the July 21 closing price -- will affect the company. If Stoppelman's heirs decide to sell the entire block at once, it could have an adverse affect on the company, acknowledged Edward G. Hook, On-Site investor relations director. But he added that On-Site officials plan to meet with the trustee of Stoppelman's estate in an effort to buy his stake or find a friendly investor who would.
Weiler has added the title of chairman until the board elects a new leader.
On-Site, which employs 420, has offices in Baltimore, Atlanta, Philadelphia and New York. The company reported 1997 earnings of $700,000, or 15 cents a share, on revenue of $21 million, compared with earnings of $200,000, or 7 cents a share, on revenue of $9.5 million in the previous year.

Choosing life? Moral Monday speaker calls out double standard
Posted By Michael Dise On June 3, 2014 @ 12:00 pm In Uncategorized | Comments Disabled
Yesterday at the Moral Monday rally on Halifax Mall behind the state Legislative Building, one speaker did an especially good job of pointing out the double standard of many "pro-life" politicians. Leslie Boyd, a person familiar to NC Policy Watch readers [1], explained that when she was advised to have an abortion because her unborn son had a virus, she "chose life" by opting to carry the pregnancy to term. However, when he later acquired an illness that would prove fatal without treatment, the same politicians who encouraged her to "choose life" deprived him of life by denying him the healthcare he needed. Boyd eloquently proclaimed that his blood was on their hands, and that they were, in effect, responsible for his death.
Boyd is right, of course. If politicians are going to demand that women "choose life" before a child is born, the least they can do is assure that after a child is born, s/he receives the necessary healthcare everyone deserves. Otherwise they are advocating a double standard, and at that a very strange one: the unborn life is treated as more worthy of protection than those who are already living in this world. As long as North Carolina politicians seek to prevent the implementation of the Affordable Care Act and to block Medicaid expansion while also shrinking Medicaid, those of insufficient income for necessary health expenses – as many as 2,800 per year according to some estimates – will suffer the loss of life, whether their own or the lives of loved ones.
Michael Dise is currently a seminary student at Wake Forest Divinity and a summer intern for the NC Justice Center.

Nine crew members of the trawler were rescued yesterday in high-seas, (240 nautical miles) of north-west Goa, an official release of the Navy said.
Acting on a distress message sent by the trawler `Kadal Matha` at 11 AM yesterday, the Western Naval Command at Mumbai directed its unit INS Nashak operating near the area to locate and render assistance, it said.
"INS Nashak, a guided missile vessel commanded by Lieutenant Commander Nitin Kapoor of the 22ndMissile Vessel Squadron, located the trawler within two hours of receiving the distress message," the release said.
The warship salvaged the trawler by stemming the leak and taking it under tow.
It was later handed over to Indian Coast Guard vessel `Samrat`, which towed the trawler to safety at Goa.

Ocean Mist Handmade Spa Soap
Tips for making a an ocean mist soap at home.
Project by Bettijo B. Hirschi from Alexandria, Va.
Bettijo loves spa treatments--the smells, the ambiance, even the products. But since visiting a spa can be more than a little expensive, she finally decided to try to make some of these products herself. After much trial and error, Bettijo has come up with a perfect process for an ocean mist soap.
4 oz. castor oil
2 oz. cocoa butter
4 oz. coconut oil
12 oz. olive oil
16 oz. palm oil
10 oz. shea butter
16 oz. water
6 oz. lye
1 tbs. kaolin clay
1 tbs. sushi seaweed
coffee grinder
2 tbs. ocean mist fragrance
stainless steel mixing pot
immersion blender
wood mold
soap cutter
heat-resistant gloves
plastic-coated freezer paper
stove with oven
1. Measure out the lye and water. Combine lye and water in a pitcher. Add thermometer to the pitcher, set aside.
2. Measure out oils into a large pot and put over heat on stove to melt. Line mold with paper.
3. Grind sushi seaweed in coffee grinder.
4. Lay out clay, essential oils, etc. Once oils are at same temp as lye and water, put oil pot onto a trivet. Pour lye mixture into oil. Mix with immersion blender (plastic stick blender) making sure to wear purple heat-resistant gloves.
5. Once the soap mixture reaches "trace," herbs and clays are thoroughly incorporated into the soap mixture along with pure essential oils. Must do this quickly! (Hint: Tracing looks like a slightly thickened custard--not instant pudding but a cooked custard.)
6. Pour soap into wooden mold. Tap the mold several times to help release air bubbles and smooth the top of the soap as well as possible. Put mold in oven that has been preheated to 170 degrees. Proper curing is crucial as it makes for a mild and gentle, yet hard bar of soap.
7. Pour lye mixture into oil. Mix with immersion blender (plastic stick blender) making sure to wear purple heat-resistant gloves.
8. The next morning, remove soap from the oven. Separate the slab of soap from the wooden mold and cut into blocks or loaves. Cut loaves into individual bars.
9. The next morning, remove soap from the oven. Separate the slab of soap from the wooden mold and cut into blocks or loaves. Cut loaves into individual bars.
12. Stamp bars with your own mark if desired. The bars are left to harden for another few days. Put bars in box and tie to signature soap dish.

A Primer on Interactive Books
Editor's Note: Today's guest blogger is Laura Fleming, school librarian at Cherry Hill School in River Edge, NJ. Laura blogs at EdTech Insight.
In my quest to find all interactive children's literature or take "static" literature and make it interactive, I have divided all of my findings into tiers which I will share with you in this post.
Tier One: Fully Interactive
These are the true interactive books which in and of themselves are interactive -- the technology is an essential part of telling the story. My favorite, if you have been following my blog, is the Skeleton Creek a mystery series by Patrick Carman. These books are formatted in a unique way, breaking the story up into two parts, with text from one main character in the book and videos from another on a special website. Readers access links and passwords throughout the book.
There are other Tier One books in publication. The first that comes to mind is Cathy's Book described at a "multimedia mystery" and is written by Sean Stewart and Jordan Weisman. Woven throughout the story, there are telephone numbers readers can call and Web sites they can access that help to tell the story.
Loser Queen by Jodi Lynn Anderson is a book with an interesting concept. It is essentially the reverse of the previous books. On the Loser Queen website readers can view the first few chapters of Loser/Queen and vote on both how the story should continue and on cover art for the print edition of the book, which will be published in paperback and as an e-book on December 21, 2010.
Another Tier One Patrick Carman goodie is Trackers. The Trackers series is told through videos, text, and websites and is about of a group of friends who have cutting-edge technology and use their skills to discover truths and bring them to light.
Tier Two: Partially Interactive
Tier Two books are those that have fabulous companion Web sites that enrich the experience the book in a way that makes reading it interactive. The technology is an optional part of telling the story and simply enhances it. Although there are many more books that could fall into Tier Two than Tier One, it still surprises me how many books do not have companion Websites or lack a quality Web site. However, a wonderful example of a Tier Two book is Spaceheadz- the first book in a new series by Jon Scieszka and Francesco Sedita.
Another example of a Tier Two book is The Fairy Godmother Academy by Jan Bozarth. This book has an amazing Web site that allows girls to enter the world they visit in the books. Patrick Carman's The Amanda Project written by Amanda Valentino and Melissa Kantor has an interactive Web site that connects readers through social media.
Tier Three: No Technology Component
Tier Three books have no interactivity and no technology to supplement telling the story. As an educator, it is important to remember that with the vast array resources available online today, it is possible to make any story interactive. One of my favorite books from this past school year to do this with was Weslandia by Paul Fleischman.
A New Tier Is Emerging: Mobile
Due to iPads, the iPod Touch and iPhones, many books now have companion apps. An exciting app to be released shortly is a part of the U-Ventures series published by Simon and Schuster. We all remember the Choose Your Own Adventure books from our childhood in which readers had to turn to a page in the book to make a choice. The U-Ventures series is a 21st century version of these books in which the story is told from the point of view of the reader and by the touch of a screen the reader has complete control over the direction of the story. With the addition of voices, sounds and light- this is sure to be cutting edge interactive literature at its best.
The key to a successful book in this genre is a strong story. In my interactive literature experiment from last school year, the children saw right through poor literature and even the interactive piece was not able to catch them. I am eager to see what other things are on the horizon the the world of interactive literature. It is my hope that very soon there will be too many in publication for me to even be able to discuss!
Do you use interactive books? What are some of your favorites?
I am an Elementary Library Media Specialist with 14 years teaching experience in grades K-8. I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education, a Master's Degree in Educational Technology, as well as a library certificate. Currently I am my school district's Web Master and enjoy teaching professional development courses in my district and am looking forward to presenting at the technology hall of fame at the New Jersey Teacher's Convention this year.

I mentioned above that Weslandia was one of my favorite static books to make interactive. There are endless activities it seems that could be linked directly to this book. I chose to have students creating their own civilization and present it in a Prezi format. With the help of the free and fabulous Web 2.0 tools, any story has the power to be interactive!
I am looking for an interactive project for my students. Do you have a blog or site that has more specific details about how to actually construct the Weslandia project?
Great article.
Anne Wallace
When I have a 'static' story that I want to make interactive, I just choose my favorite Web 2.0 tool. They options are endless. Last year we enjoyed creating our own civilizations and mapping them in Prezi, but really any tool you prefer would work! Some of my students also enjoyed creating Glogs on Glogster for their civilization. The elements of their civilization were: A name for Language, Currency, Food, Clothing, Shelter, Weather, and a flag. This story also lends itself well to constructing Wordles that reflect these elements of their civilization. Really the possibilities are endless. It's a fantastic book and these are great tools to bring it into the 21st century. Good luck!!
Interactive books! This is just fascinating! This must really increase reading comprehension!

Linux Distributions Agree on Standards
Way back in 1997, a group of Linux software developers were pondering what could be done to circumvent the minor but troubling variations between the different Linux distributions. Not only that, but they were also contending with differences between versions of a single Linux distribution.
For the group's free software developers, the issue was finding the time to build new functionality and enhancements rather than spending hours verifying that their software worked on all the Linux distributions.
For the non-free software developers, the issue was the same, but they also had paying customers to placate and employees to take care of. Something had to be done.
Fortunately, almost everyone agreed, from upstream authors to Linux distributions to users. Soon thereafter the Linux Standard Base (LSB) Project was formed, with Alan Cox designing the web site, Bruce Perens taking the leadership role and Jon "maddog" Hall offering guidance. Things seemed fine, with Linus Torvalds behind the effort, but this group of pioneers didn't realize just how huge a project they had signed on to. Not only did they need to create a standard that would meet the needs of developers, distributions, businesses and users, but they had to make it really work, and they only had one chance to do it right.
Fast-forward to the year 2000. The LSB was at version 0.02 and was being approached by a group of developers wanting advice for creating a Linux internationalization standard. After a few discussions it was apparent that a new format was needed, something that would bring in more resources to both efforts while allowing them to remain independent and community-led. This was the genesis of the Free Standards Group.
The Free Standards Group is a California nonprofit corporation dedicated to accelerating the use and acceptance of open-source technologies through the development, application and promotion of standards.
Soon after its founding in late 2000, the Free Standards Group acted as a galvanizer for free and open-source developers and the IT industry alike. Activities around the development of the LSB and Openi18n, the Open Internationalization Initiative, really began to take off. By the close of 2001, both groups had completed version 1.0 of their standards and were confident they would meet with widespread adoption. This confidence was primarily because the targeted adopters were the same people and companies that built the standards. Developers like Ted Ts'o, Stuart Anderson and Dan Quinlan and companies like Red Hat, SuSE, HP and IBM all put their resources into this effort.
These were not efforts for simply documenting a specification; rather, they were creating a formal comprehensive behavioral description of the Linux system and a method for building on to it and proving it. For example, the LSB includes test suites for the operating system, applications and build environment. It also includes a build environment, sample implementation, application battery and full documentation. Here is a breakdown of the pieces:
Written specification: defines the behavior of an LSB-compliant operating system. It does not say which version of a kernel, library or other core element should be used, only the ways each piece will behave. This allows for developers to have to be concerned only with the APIs and APIs of the operating system.
Test suites: include tests for the operating system, applications and build environment.
Build environment: an isolated environment that developers chroot into to build compliant applications.
Sample implementation: an isolated environment that developers chroot into to test run compliant applications.
Application battery: a collection of open-source applications run to stress test compliant operating systems.
About six months after the release of the complete LSB, LSB Certification was launched. Certification gave vendors of both Linux distributions and Linux-based applications a method for verifying and displaying that their products adhered to the standard. Within six weeks of launching LSB Certification, Mandrake, Red Hat and SuSE had applied for and passed LSB Certification.
Today, every major Linux distribution vendor has applied for and achieved LSB Certification. The debate about fragmentation among the Linux distributions can now come to a close. Application developers can be assured that when they build to the LSB, their applications will run unmodified on any LSB-Certified system. Users will benefit from compatibility among the distributions and a larger body of applications.
Despite its great success in the adoption of its standards, the Free Standards Group and its LSB and Openi18n Workgroups are not sitting still. We are moving forward in extending our existing standards and taking on new tasks such as printing and desktop standards.
If you have any interest in the future of Linux you can join us. Membership is open to individuals, nonprofits (including educational institutions), companies and government agencies. To find out more, visit www.freestandards.org.
Scott McNeil is one of the founders and executive director of the Free Standards Group.

Sprays, coils, high pitched frequencies and bananas have all been suggested as ways to avoid mosquito bites. But do any of them work?
- Print page

- Permalink
With Australian mosquitoes transmitting diseases like Dengue, Ross River virus and Barmah Forest virus, it's worth making an effort to protect yourself.
Medical entomologist Dr Cameron Webb recommends physical barriers in conjunction with chemical deterrents.
"Some of these commercial repellent formulations particularly those that contain products called diethyltoluamide (which is commonly called DEET) or another product called picaridin really are the ones that have been shown to provide the best protection against mosquitoes."
While it may be uncomfortable to cover up during summer, a physical barrier of a long sleeve shirt and long pants is recommended by Dr Webb when outdoors, especially first thing in the morning or at dusk when mosquitoes are active.
When indoors Dr Webb recommends the plug-in units that release insecticide or mosquito coils that have an insecticide.
"The reason why they work pretty effectively is that they are actually killing the mosquitoes that are in your immediate area, they are not just repelling them..."
High-pitched frequency emitting electronic units and smart phone apps have not been proven to repel or kill mosquitoes adds Dr Webb.
"There is absolutely no evidence whatsoever that they work so I wouldn't be investing in anything like that."
Hugh from Bowen says when he was working on salt ponds outside of Rockhampton several years ago, the only insect repellent that seemed to work for him was a mixture of Dettol, baby oil and citronella in equal parts.
"Just a tiny little smear on, it would do about three or four hours before they started biting again."
Read Dr Cameron Webb's guide to personal protection strategies against Australian mosquitoes.

I have been working at Novartis Animal Health US
The culture (excluding upper management) is very team-oriented and friendly. The products are exceptional and the pay and benefits are good, especially for the area. There is availability to move up, but primarily if you want to live outside of the US.
The Upper Management is not good at communicating and many do not fight for their co-workers. The systems are outdated and the processes are backwards. HR department does not support its employees.
I would try to increase morale of the co-workers through more rewards and recognition. I would also upgrade many of the systems.

pretty damn good, and the lyrics can apply to things other than blizzards constant weekly fails!
i guess i was successful in that regard! i generally don't like giving out what my songs are about for that reason alone, but i thought i was too funny that lyrics to a song this awesome were about something so ridiculous i had to let it slip :P
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Epicness, that is all ! ^^
I think the melodic background should be a little-bit lower and get the "screamin' " up.
thanks for the feedback, sir. for the backup vocals i was goin' for a vibe similar to that from the verses from static-x's "machine" (really faint screaming in the background); i'll amp 'em up a bit for the final version, though :)
Rated 5 / 5 stars
I really like your music because there aren't many good rock / metal songs that have lyrics on new grounds , and i think there should be. keep up the good work.
thanks for the awesome compliment - i appreciate it! keep an eye out for new tunes!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
O snap! ALL MY STARS ARE BELONG TO THIS!!!
thanks bro! it'll only get better ;)
Rated 5 / 5 stars
I have to say, this track is showing the continued improvement and dedication to your craft. The voice sounds more authentic than ever. If the mic setup was better, this would be completely radio ready. Couldn't hear the ( ) lyrics. Try turnin em up or panning them a bit cuz they get lost behind the guitar and the main vocal. Fav part breakdown at 2:30 and the strings that came in at 2:50. Metalocalypse epic.
thanks a lot for the review! quite encouraging coming from a musician such as yourself :D

Sams Club Generators
I found what looks like a good deal on an 8125 with a Honda 13 horse. Anyone used one and have an opinion? I need to replace an old Generac 5500.
It really depends on what you plan on using it for. We purchased a generator after hurricane Ivan to run an airconditioning unit, the refrigerator, a few lights and a tv for information and news. The total running load we draw is 2,350 watts or 47% of it's rated output. The AC unit and fridge draw more when the compressors cycle but they never exceed the maximum surge rating. We used about 5-gallons of fuel per day as it ran 9 hours overnight and then 3 additional hours during the day for the fridge and to recover the hot water heater. To date the only thing we have replaced is the air filter, spark plug and oil. We do have a replacement set of brushes but with almost 400 hours on it we have yet to replace them as the originals are still okay. Would I purchase the same generator if I was doing contractor work and running it day in and day out.. in a word, no. But for what we use it for, it is more than capable and would replace it with the same or similar model when it finally gives up the ghost.
Indeed, fpda31 is right. It all depends on what you intend to power with that unit. Remember, none of these portable generators are made to operate at full power. When you put a real heavy load on portable generator, it uses a lot of fuel.
As fpda31 mentioned, its best to run your generator at about half load. You'll get the best fuel economy and leave plenty of room for surge loads which are created when compressors cycle on. So, for the generator you mentioned, you'd want to put about a 3,250 watt load on it for the best results.
That generator is sold at my local Sam's Club. When I was shopping for a generator, that unit was on my short list. However, I sat down and figured out my power needs. My plan is to use the generator for emergency power after a hurricane. I plan to run 2 window A/C units (8,000 BTU), a 25 cubic foot refrigerator/freezer, a ceiling fan, a floor fan and a few lights. My total draw is not going to be over 2,500 watts, therefore I bought a 5,000 watt generator.
Now, I've heard a lot of people say that you won't regret getting a bigger unit than you need. I don't agree with that premise. I bought my portable generator for one reason, emergency power after a hurricane. I have 80 gallons of gasoline in storage. I may have to use that generator for two weeks or more after a storm. Based upon my previous experience, gasoline will be in short supply. I want to conserve as much as possible.
That 13 HP Honda engine on that Black Max generator is nice, but it burns a lot more gas than a 10 HP Briggs & Stratton OHV Intek. If you need to power a continuous 3,250 watt load, then go for it. If not, find something smaller.
Starhust - I hope you have no need for that generator other than the luxury of having remote power for some electric power tool beyond extension cord reach.
We used our generator 3 times now for AC/lighting and while it is superior to nothing by a huge margin, it is not something I want to do for obvious reasons. Best of luck to you and yours this hurricane season.
Keeping the fingers crossed, so far... but Aug/Sept are the months to worry about (statistically). Like I said, may you never need it.
The "Black Max" generators are quite "serviceable". If you are using it as an occasional/emergency power source AND do not expect it to power your whole house (i.e., you have "select" applications), it's fine.
I have seen three or four people returning 5000-watt Coleman generators to Sam's because (it won't run my air-conditioning!"
Alas, that is the ONE thing Sam's does not provide for most of its products: advice/expertise.
As an example, they have some great prices on 7000-watt & 12000-watt Briggs & Stratton generators. But...the "typical" Sam's shopper has no idea what is involved in getting those bad boys home, getting a slab laid, transfer switches (which Sam's doesn't sell) or the overall installation. They MAY have an electrician they "refer". And my guess is that the best electricians out there want nothing to do with referrals from Sam's Club. They get enough from the best contractors and sub-contractors.
If someone returns a 5kw generator because it won't run their air-conditioner then I submit they likely have not properly evaluated all the issues they may face during long term widespread power outages. You can run a pretty good sized air conditioner with a 5k generator.
There is absolutely no way I can run my central air on one though we have (2) 5-ton units I would need to power. We rough it with 3 air conditioned rooms when on generator power. As Starhust said, there are many factors in the decision of how big to go. Since the generator I use is exclusively intended to be emergency power after a hurricane we have fuel issues to contend with. 5kw is a good trade-off point between available power and fuel consumption given *our* requirements.
We have an 18,500btu air conditioner upstairs in the barn. However it would cost me 7-8 gallons of fuel to run that bad boy for 12 hours. 8-gallons x 20 days is 160-gallons of fuel. Instead we opted for a smaller unit and only cool a select area of the house. This results in 5-gallon use or a difference of 60-gallons of fuel. Or, about $172.00 less for the same time period. The money is not the true issue, rather stored fuel capacity on-hand. To include the vehicles, the 3 tractors ect, we have 125-gallons of fuel on-hand when the storm hits. If we use the larger unit I am short 35-gallons and when a hurricane visits you it takes power down for hundreds of miles, not exactly a simple matter of driving to the nearby gas station for gas.
If you have the ability to store more fuel, or are not going to be relying on stored fuel exclusively to run the generator (e.g you are not dealing with a widespread power grid outage) then by all means, 15,20,25kw may suit you much better. Our logistical issues with fuel after the event make a larger unit that consumes more fuel actually create problems rather than solve them. A 15kw genset does you no good if you cannot get fuel to operate it on. We based the 20-day figure on past hurricane power outage duration then added a few more days as a buffer. If you are not planning on a long term widespread power outage like we were, then obviously your requirements will differ, and a larger unit may be exactly what you want. Hey, if we had a few hundred gallons underground at our disposal that 18,500w unit would be certainly running and we would air-condition day and night.
Everyone's needs are different, evaluate them carefully to include fuel useage, and replacement spare parts availability. Having a generator that is overloaded will cause it to fail prematurely, and if you are depending on it for power that is not a good thing, conversely one sized too large will result in you having no fuel left to operate it... either way you are going to be without power and that was the whole point of the generator, to have power.
I'm referring to those folks who buy a 5000-watt portable unit and expect to be able to "plug" their central A/C into it.
You're right on fuel consumption & storage issues. That is really the primary factor for Floridians during hurricane season. You MUST be able to differentiate between "necessity" and "luxury". You also have to make the commitment to being "truly" prepared. Expecting generators and other "miracle" tools to do everything is not at all realistic.
The "large/monster" PORTABLE gensets are a mystery to me, in some respects. The gas consumption is akin to that of a 1970s-vintage Ford "Country Squire" station wagon, and unless you are running a commando operation, you simply can't "utilize" all that power. It may be one thing for those in rural environments, but again, fuel storage (not just consumption) comes into play.
When "upgrading" our generator situation for our office, the first thing I looked at was power/plug set-up. the second was fuel consumption. Given our power needs and the "reasonable" estimate of outage duration for a hurricane going through the Orlando area, I found 6500-8000 watts being sufficient AND not too greedy with gas.
In order to determine the size generator than you need, find out what your going to run with it. If fuel economy is a major factor, then consider a generator with a smaller engine, but your not going to be able to run as many items as you want at the same time. Fuel economy is important, but for me, that was a minor issue regarding my decision. I had three main requirements when I bought my generator. First, I wanted a gen set with a 50amp outlet and second I did not want to spend over $2500 not including the transfer switch, and third I wanted a voltage req to run electronics. I work from home sometimes and I need to be able to use my computer. I found a 10,000 watt Briggs generator from Electronic Generators direct shipped to my house for less than $2200. I basically wired my whole house except for my centeral air, stove, and washer dryer. I live out it the woods and I'm the last one to get power, so I want to be able to use some luxury items like the tv or microwave because it could be days before we get power back after a bad storm. I have a well for water and two air handlers for my forced hot air that run separate from my furnace. I wanted to make sure I had enought power to run both of my fridges as well plus some lights in different rooms. My generator is a little bigger than I need, but it was the cheapest one that met all my requirements. Also as stated above I'm not overworking it either which should extend its service life.
I had no idea the Country Squires got such bad fuel mileage. I think the neighbors one had a 350 in it, I can say though that the 396 I had in an ElCamino got such terrible mileage that you HAD to shut the engine off at the gas station when fueling so the pump could gain on it.
"As fpda31 mentioned, its best to run your generator at about half load. You'll get the best fuel economy and leave plenty of room for surge loads which are created when compressors cycle on. So, for the generator you mentioned, you'd want to "
Just curious, How do you now this for sure regarding fuel?
As far as I know Gen-sets are most efficient at full load, not 50%. Did you read this? Can you please post you source.
Are you saying a 12hp set at 50% uses less gas than a 6hp at 100%?
Small portable electric generators (such as those made by Briggs & Stratton, Honda, Coleman, Yamaha, Porter Cable, etc.) give fuel consumption ratings based upon the generator being run at half load. As an example, my 5,000 watt generator with a 10 HP Briggs & Stratton Intek OHV engine is rated to run 11 hours on 5 gallons of gas. In practical experience, it only gets about 9.5 hours of use from 5 gallons of gas pulling a 2,500 watt load.
Run time vs. electric load is always a balance. Thats why itÂs important to know the electrical load you intend to put on the generator. ItÂs best to shoot for a 50% load not only for most economical fuel use, but also to protect the engine and the generator itself.
While most (not all) portable electric generators are designed to run at their full rated load, itÂs always best to leave some extra capacity available. Just because your car can run at 100 MPH, itÂs not a good idea to run it that fast for extended periods. YouÂll just waste gas and ruin the engine more quickly.
Danman1 - most things you power with a generator have 2 power requirements. 1 is running load, the other is starting load.
I run a fridge, an air-conditioner, some lights, and a few fans. Occasionally we run a TV or radio and a computer for news and information pertinent after a major disaster (hurricane).
Depending on what you choose to run, in practice you will realize it is likely not possible to draw 100% power all the time.
The air-conditioner draws 1,500 watts running, but draws 2,400 when the compressor cycles ON.
The fridge draws 850 running and 2,475 when starting.
So here I am running the AC and the load is 1,500 watts
I have a few lights on using 200 watts, and the TV is on drawing 150 watts. I have on 4 fans circulating the air in the rooms I am cooling keeping the temperature even using an additional 400 total watts. This is 2,250watts and easily handled by the generator. Suddenly the fridge turns on. This draws an additonal 2,475 watts during starting. I am now drawing 4,725 watts and that is below the 5,000 rated and 6,250 surge rating so I am good. I could turn on a few more lights, maybe turn on the radio too. But the point is the maximum I can really run has to be the start-up surges + what is running and this must not exceed the nameplate max surge.
Since there is a very real possibility of the AC and the Fridge cycling together occasionally I need to make sure I am subtracting the total surge that would produce from the surge rating of the generator. That leaves me with 1,375 watts to power "non surge loads" such as lights and the radio etc.
So If I max out the non surge loads and the AC and Fridge are running at their running loads I am using 3,725 watts. I also have the overhead surge for when and if the AC and the fridge cycle together.
If you run exclusively non-surge loads (like all incandescant light bulbs) then I could run (50) 100-watt lights, or 50 miles of electric fencing. But it is impossible to run my generator at FULL LOAD continually given what I choose to run. The only exception to that is when we turn off the fridge and the AC, and run the water heater 4,500 watts along with the bath and shower lights, and the humidity fan. It draws a total of 4,750 watts but the water heater only heats for 20-30 minutes then it cycles off when the water reaches temp again. (Yes it is very noticable listening to the generator when the 4,500 watt load ceases and I am only drawing 250 now for a fan and a few lights.)
If I had the water heater on drawing 4,500 watts, and I left the fridge breaker on, that would be 5,350 watts and not good for the generator, but what would be worse is the fridge being off, but the breaker on, and the hot water heater drawing 4,500 watts... suddenly the fridge tries to start. I say tries, because that would need 6,975 watts
The max surge rating is 6,250. I do not want to try this and find out, but I think there may be a bright flash from the generator, and then everything plugged in would shut off.
Everyones needs differ. I use my genset for emergency power during likely a widespread long term power outage.
Fuel use is a factor so I do not load my generator up to the max running load less the surge requirements because it DOES require more fuel to operate at 3,500 running watts than it does at 2,475 running watts. How can we know this is true? Well, simply it requires more energy input to get more energy output. As to my using say a 5hp generator instead of a 10hp unit.. the 5hp unit may handle all the running loads, but it does not handle the surge requirement of the fridge and AC cycling, so it was ruled out. Hey, I would love a 5hp generator that could handle the surge loads AND run for 24 hours on 5-gallons. Nobody offers one though. If you find one, please post it here.
Until then I am stuck with the larger engine running at part power normally, with the balance there for the starting loads that happen on and off.
It boils down to three factors when looking at generators for emergency/casual use (assuming you know what you want to power from it):
--Rated wattage
--Surge wattage
--Fuel consumption
My first office generator throws 6600 watts, a relatively small addtion to 7200 watts for "surge", and a 6-gallon tank provides about 9 hours of run time. (Briggs & Stratton)
The second (bought on a whim) is 5000 watts, 6250 "surge" and only 6 hours on a 5-gallon tank (Coleman w/ Tecumseh). Needless to say, this is now the back-up to the back-up!
I got lucky and "discovered" the Generac 7550EXL at Home Depot...along with a card of "no interest for a year". 7550 watts, 13500 "surge", and maybe most important for our application, a healthy mix of conveniences, i.e., two 30-amp plugs (one 3-prong, one 4-prong), electric start and some great accessories (extra oil, cover, "Extend-A Panel" cord, fuel stabilizer). Alas, Briggs bought Generac and "basic-ed" up the model (now the 8000EXL). And I get 10 hours on a 7-gallon tank. Not the MOST efficient, but not bad for its size.
Last March I found a sale at Home Depot and picked up a Briggs "Power Boss" with 5500 watts, 7300 surge, Extend-A-Panel cord, stabilizer and 13 hours on 7 gallons! This has become, along with the Generac, part of the mainstay for office emergency power.
Thanks for the in-depth explanation. My loaded question for Starhust, was efficiancy only. Gallons gas burned vs watts produced. I was actually baiting I guess, Sorry. Surge load vs running load as you describe is indeed important to all readers, and should influence buying. It does not however, change the physics of the efficiency. As I suggested above, most(almost all), gen-sets are most efficent at full load. This statistic is not dependent on load fluctuation.
Danman1 - well I kind of figured that was the game but I save the ammunition for forums regarding politics and such.
Here I just try to let people know what (if anything) I know so they can make better informed decisions.
_Had_ I decide to engage you however the question would be engine efficiency (fuel consuption/hr at a given load) and what a great debate that would be. Alas, I had already taken 2 excedrin migrane and had just exerted enough mental HP for one evening brain dumping the workings of a hydrostatic transmission in the tractor forum.
Anyhow, I am calling no-joy and disengaging. I am not up to it at the moment, so I declare you winner.
Until next time..
Oh but thanks for the exchange anyhow, I am sure SOMEBODY learned SOMETHING useful.
I purchased a BlackMax generator from Sam's club. I got this generator because it had a Honda engine which was supposed to be one of the best. It isn't very quiet, is not good on gas consumption, had blow by from the get go, and now blows smoke when you start it until it warms up. I thought because it had a Honda engine/warranty, I was dealing with a reputable company. I called the number listed with the product info. (BlackMax)and was directed to a service center. The folks there never could get it to smoke except the first time they started it. They thought that was from transporting it. Never did notice the blow by. I paid $30.00 for diagnosis for them to start it over a period of a couple of days. They did say to bring it back if it smoke again. Smoked again. Called BlackMax and the rep was rude and said I called the wrong number the first time, gave me Honda's number and was directed to Honda's website for a dealer. The place I took it to is a Honda dealer. Called to speak with the service center and explained my concern that I spent $30.00 and they couldn't find the problem. The employee (owner's wife) said they would refund $30.00 if they could find the problem and bill Honda. I learned my lesson. Don't buy anything from Sam's Club, Don't buy BlackMax, and I'll defintely rethink any Honda euipment purchases in the future. I am probably going to regret taking it back to the same service center, but I can't afford to keep paying diagnostic fees hoping there is a Honda dealer mechanic who can figure it out.

Kitchenaid Mixer - oil question
Hi! I just bought a 5 quart Pro Kitchenaid mixer from someone today who never used it. We did test it, it works like a charm. She just didn't bake or anything and didn't have room for it anymore. We paid for it ($100, weeeee!) and put it on its side on the way home which was obviously a mistake. Something that looks very much like oil came out from the motor area. I'm not going to try to run it at all until I figure out exactly what to do. Can we put more oil in the motor ourselves? Has this happened to anyone else? I'm pretty sure I should call the repair line for it, but I thought I'd check here first. Thanks!
The "oil" you see is actually the grease they use to "pack" the motor head, and it has liquified. The grease protects the motor head from all the friction caused during use. This oil liquifying is usually caused by the motor being stressed. This happened to us twice with our KA mixer. We got it from someone who claimed she "never used it", but she must have at one point, for the grease doesn't liquify on it's own...LOL. Not meaning to make light of the situation, but all is not lost. You can bring it to a KA repair center and they can re-pack the grease for you. The last time we had it done, it cost us around $45.00. It actually lasted for quite a while before we had to do it again...but the last time was my fault. We have the "Classic" model, which doesn't have the higher horsepower, so the motor becomes strained easily. You still got a nice deal, though...and once you have it repaired, it should be as good as new.

Fifa revoke suspension for unnamed Bulgaria international
The sample was taken after a World Cup qualifier
Thursday 26 September 2013
FIFA has revoked a provisional suspension on a Bulgarian international for failing a drugs test just hours after imposing it.
The world governing body initially said the unnamed player tested positive for a banned substance following a World Cup qualifier against Malta on September 10.
It has now announced the suspension has been revoked after advice from FIFA's medical experts.
FIFA said in a statement: "The chairman of the FIFA disciplinary committee has revoked his decision to suspend a Bulgarian international footballer for a period of 30 days.
"The decision was taken following clarification by medical bodies, on the basis of which it appears that there is no circumstantial evidence that anti-doping rules have been violated."
