What Materials to Use for New Basement
I Built a new beach front home on pilings and would like to finish the lower level which is enclosed ( so I guess you would call it the basement).I would like to know what materials I should use on the area at and below flood levels to help eliminate the possibilty of mold growth in the event of a future flood. The first 4 feet are cement block wall with conventional framing above that to the main living area of the home. The home is located in N.J. Here are my thoughts on finishing the lower area:
1. Frame area in front of block wall with pressure treated lumber(2x4 walls)
2. Closed cell spray foam that area of wall
3. Use T-111 for interior of lower wall and drywall for portion above flood level
4. trim seam and all finish trim with pvc type trim material
5. Ceramic tile entire floor
My thought was if I were to ever have a flood similiar to the major flood we just had with superstorm Sandy I will not have to have any fear of mold growth behind the walls.
Fema and flood insurance will not cover any area below flood level
Hoping to get some input from the experts on this site
Thanks in advance

Comments about Linon Sutton Rubberwood Desk With Key Board Tray, Black:
Fair product for fair price. Looks just like the picture and measures out exactly like dimensions state, which was very important to me because of the small space I needed to fit it in. Pretty color and seems sturdy. I would order it again.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
India won't achieve prominence without justice for women
Something is terribly wrong with the way women are treated in India, the world's largest democracy. The horrific Dec. 16 gang rape of a 23-year-old student on a New Delhi bus has sparked massive protests and loud demands for reform. But it's far from the only example of abuse endured by women routinely denied full protection under India's defective criminal justice system.
The victim in this case died early Saturday, 13 days after six men raped her and remorselessly beat her and a male companion with iron bars while driving around the city. The pair was then dumped at the side of the road. What's unusual about this incident is its savagery and the use of a bus -- not the rape itself which, sadly, is all too common.
In just the days that followed, a 10-year-old was gang-raped, killed and her body thrown in a canal in another part of India. And a 14-year-old schoolgirl was left in critical condition after being raped by four men. On Wednesday, a 12-year-old was raped by three men as she walked to her grandparents' house. And on Thursday came news that a 17-year-old girl had committed suicide after police reportedly pressured her to marry one of the men who raped her last month or, at least, accept a financial settlement.
More than almost anywhere else, violence against women is a brutal fact of life in the Indian subcontinent. According to official figures cited by Agence France Presse, females were victims in almost 230,000 of the more than 256,000 violent crimes reported in India last year. Just as shocking is the willingness of police, judges and government officials to tolerate attacks on women by blaming victims and excusing offenders.
In the aftermath of the New Delhi bus attack, even as protests raged, it took days for Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to go on television and promise reform. Police have been less than sympathetic. Brave demonstrators demanding better protection of women have been forcibly dispersed by officers using batons, tear gas and water cannon.
And India's Association for Democratic Reforms recently found that more than 30 men charged with rape had been allowed to stand for elected office by various political parties. The think-tank relied on court documents and election declarations for that report.
Despite the deep-seated anti-female prejudice built into Indian's justice system, outrage over recent rapes has compelled authorities to take action. The government is to open a 24-hour emergency help-line for women on Monday linked to the city's police stations. Officers have increased their patrols. Arrests have been made. And one government committee is exploring ways to speed up sex assault trials while another is looking into security flaws that may have been a factor in the bus rape.
That's good. But given India's lamentable record, it's only natural to wonder how much will really change over the long run. One thing is certain, if India is to reach its full economic potential, and hold a respected place among democracies, it will need to deliver real justice to the female half of its population.

Annual peach report
Here is my somewhat-annual peach report. I have been growing unusual peaches for about ten years now, looking for the best-tasting and easiest care backyard varieties.
--Snow Queen - all split in rain. No other nectarine split so remove this one. Another California peach bites the dust.
+Mericrest - fruits again runting very badly. Also lost nearly all due to OFM/CM in them. Since I lost so many the fruit did size up more than last year. Taste is awesome, the essence of peach. Hard to take this one out even though it has so many problems. Keep this as my only nectarine.
(++)Gold Dust - Squirrels got all of these. They know good peaches.
-Flat Wonderful - Got a reasonable sample. All had a good flavor, but too watery. Some of that slight savory/anise flavor like Rareripe. Overall not in the league to TangOs, but need to give it a few more years.
++TangOs - Very tasty and very good looking. They are less rubbery this year. Too much curc/ofm damage however, and some rot problems.
(+++)Clayton - all taken by tree devils, sigh.
++Zin Dai Jiu Bao - beautiful large cling peach with elegant aromatic subacid flavor. I think thesew peaches are designed to be picked unripe and then ripen on the counter, the one I ate on the first day was hard and bland and the one I ate three days later was a fine peach. Its not as flavorful as the best white peaches, but has a vey nice well-rounded flavor to make up for it. Definite keeper.
++Winblo - this tree is suffering from borers, fruits are small this year. Still excellent tasting, a go-to variety for ease of growing and taste.
+Ernies Choice - producing huge tasty fruits this year, not top league but still good. Large and beautiful and not very blemished. Flavor seems up a notch from past years and no mealinessthus far, unlike past years.
+++Carman - I have been eating them too early, trying to beat squirrels. Still the greatness is shining through. Later fully ripened ones were excellent, its the great peach I remember. May be more sour than most people want. This is my favorite mid-season white peach.
Lola Queen - squirrels got all, its too close to their entry point into orchard. No big reason to grow this peach, Carman is a notch better and ripens at the same time.
---Violette Hative - tree not doing well due to many borers. Fruits have too much orange peel flavor, like they always do. I should cook these up and see how they do, maybe its a marmalade-peach kind of thing? A squirrel cleared this tree out one day when I was not looking so looks like no marmelade this year.
--Lola nectarine - plenty of splitting and rot here. Remove this since its a problem fruit.
+++Foster - These I was a little late to but they are very good. It is a very sweet peach, much more than others. Fruitnut, this one is calling your name. Also it is more sour than modern peaches. Rot susceptible.
St. John - all rotted as usual. Not sure what to do, maybe its time to give up on this one. It is one of my favorites for taste but they have all rotted for the last several years.
+++Sanguine Pilat - An outstanding red-fleshed variety with very large fruits and as good a flavor as any red-fleshed variety. No rot on this one, particularly good news for a red-fleshed peach.
+++Early Crawford - They are super small this year, rootstock has borers. Some are tasting the usual extraordinary citrus-sweet, but some are mealy. Maybe it was too hot for them this year.
--Le Grand - major rotfest. Remove.
--Longevity - all rotted. Pallas right next to it got relatively little rot so I think this guy must be highly susceptible. Up for removal.
--Lord Napier - all rotted. Also was not sizing up at all. Time to remove it.
++Pallas - I thinned these guys better and they are tasting very good this year. All the honey-type peaches overset to the extreme and need severe thinning to get good fruits.
++Athena - same as Pallas, definitely moving into the keeper category. One ripe fell on the ground and heated up in the sun and tasted truly extraordinary.
JM Mack - All-white unusual-looking peach with standard flavor. Not tasty enough to keep around.
JH Hale - Perfectly decent yellow peach but no home run. Remove it.
+Lady Nancy - Beautiful-looking large fruit not rotting. Unfortunately I didn't get to taste, I think the kids grabbed it.
--Floral Pakistani - super small but has good flavor, lots of that orange rind flavor like the Violette Hative. Still seems no reason to keep, too small and mooshy.
-Peento and Chinese Flat- didn't get any, few fruits and squirlz got em (both trees). Both are not attractive, large scars. These are somewhat less prone to rot and later than Saturn, but the large scars are problematic.
Baby Crawford - all stolen, did have fruits. Tree not very healthy.
+Carolina Gold - this tree is getting good production this year finally, it is a very solid peach. Heavy on the orange in the flavor, a solid peach a small notch down from the other NC peaches. Having some small rot problems but its a rough year for rot.
+++Rio Oso Gem - tree has had bad borer problems. Fruit is excellent, highly flavored and right near the very best.
--Sanguine Tardeva - tree not well so very small fruit this year. Still the usual excellent cranberry taste. This guy probably is destined for the chopping block since Sanguine Pilat is so much bigger and no mealiness.
Eagle Beak - this tree is very weak from borers. The fruits are very prone to splitting -- nearly all of them split this year. Still, this peach is very unusual and good-tasting so I should keep it.
+Xiong Yue - Orange dense-fleshed late peach. Freestone which is unusual for Chinese peaches. Has the creamy Crawford-school flavor but milder. Note that this is based on far too early picked fruits, they were getting knocked off. Surely will be better if left to tree ripen. Definitely worth saving but having some splitting problems.
+++Oldmixon Free - incredible as usual. This is the standard for a late white-fleshed peach. Very reliable as well. I am not completely sure if the modern version is the same as the historical one, it seems larger and more productive than the writings about the original. Whatever it is, its a great peach.
++O'Henry - Very good taste as usual, lots of spotting as usual. Worth keeping.
++Late Crawford - some of these were truly excellent, I now see the reason for the praise for this guy. Not sure why they were not as good before now.
++Indian Cling - squirrels cleared nearly all these. It also had a low crop due to severe pruning I did in spring. Ones I got were yummy, heavy cranberry flavor. Not sure what these are best for, they are too hard for jam. Makes sense that they were traditionally a pickling peach and that may be worth trying with them some year. I expect they may also dry well.
-Heath Cling - getting lots of rot on this one unfortunately. Wanted to try drying them but there may not be enough fruits to bother trying. It is clearly meant as a drying peach, either that or cooking. Need to figure out how to reduce rot on these guys. Rainy late summer has made things particularly challenging this year.
++Indian Free - lot of damage on these; still tasting great as usual.
--Pei Xian Dong Tao - Very late, I doubt I will be able to ripen them even in this early season. Splitting and small siz on top of that says remove.
The squirrel pressure this year was horrible due to the very mild winter and I started trapping too late. I did catch a large number, at least 50.
Next year I am going to switch to movable traps on poles, to get the traps more in proximity of the problem.
Thanks for your peach report again this year. Insightful as usual.
With the drought in my area this year, there wasn't any rot. As a general rule peach quality was very good. Following are some highlights on 30+ varieties of peaches.
Early season peaches were better than usual. They were all very good except for PF1 which was pretty variable on quality. Just this spring, I planted 10 more trees of PF1 at the farm and am considering removing these even before they fruit. This is particularly disappointing to me, as I've recommended this peach as a good early season low care peach before. Rich May ripens in the same window, so it will be interesting to see if it's more consistent on flavor.
For a mid-season peach I continue to like Redhaven and Blazingstar. I know you and Hman don't like Redhaven as grown out east, but here it consistently produces high quality peaches. Blazingstar was very small as usual this year, but it continues to be one of the peach varieties I get the most positive feedback about (which agrees with my palate).
For a late peach, O'Henry was the best. I wanted to make some copies of this tree and I think I have about 10 bud grafts that "took".
Carolina Gold had the best flavor during it's harvest window. It continues to produce very small peaches, but the flavor makes it worth it.
Lady Nancy fruited the first time this year. To me, it tasted just like a yellow peach (but a very good yellow peach). The small thin yellow stripe in the flesh (characteristic of Lady Nancy) was interesting. I gave one to one of my customers and he loved it.
Excluding Lady Nancy (because it has a yellow peach flavor) Blushingstar was my favorite white peach for a white peach flavor.
In terms of Crawford type peaches. I have Baby Crawford I expect to fruit next year. I lost my last Early Crawford, but have another one ordered from Arboreum for next spring. I probably grafted 10-15 Clayton peaches from the last wood you sent me.
The fruit of Gold Dust was a bit of a disappointment to me, but I'm still questioning whether that tree was sent to me mislabeled.
I'm not down on all Redhavens, just the one I have on my property that grows gorgeous huge beautiful nearly sugarless peaches. It used to produce very good ones although not as good as the slightly later ripening Johnboy on my site. I've had plenty of wonderful Redhavens at other sites which is why I suspect that twenty years of woodchips and stable waste has just created too good a soil for the tree. It is exceptionally vigorous and receives only rain water.
Redhaven is an excellent home orchard peach in general- partly because of its exceptionally long harvest.
It could be Redhaven flavor is more soil or climate dependent. I have not grown it myself and only know it from all the local orchards growing it.
Carolina Gold has also been small for me. I don't know if you tried Rio Oso Gem, it is in a similar harvest period and is much larger (as well as a touch better in flavor). It is prone to bacterial spot.
Hi Scott and Olpea,
Would you please comment more on O'Henry regarding disease resistance and other problem it may have? I'd be quite interested if it tastes good and does not have a lot of problems.
Olpea - what do you think about Autumn Star? I just planted it this year.
Thank you.
Yes harvest, Redhaven is the best peach producer in my orchard. This season got my first Redhavens on the 21st of July. My two trees had most tree soft peaches the first week of August. Redhaven sets a incredible amount and that is key. I don't thin off all the small. The golfball size peaches turn into full sized peaches ripening into the third week of August. Redhaven gets large and has the real peachy flavor.
Sounds like I may need to add Redhaven, O'henry and maybe a few others. Great report. I have "Blushingstar", but no fruit this year...hopefully next year.
Sounds like a big squirrel problem. I also have a huge rat problem here, but its because my neighbor has a good sized black walnut full of nuts and they like to bury them in my yard. I'm tempted to bait them in one area and use my sniper skills to do away with them.
O'Henry has been a fairly disease resistant peach for me. It is a bit more prone to bac. spot, which is a small criticism of commercial growers, but not enough to keep them from planting it. I don't see much bac. spot on O'Henry, but I've usually sprayed Ziram early in the season. While Ziram is primarily used for scab, which is what I use it for, it also has minor efficacy against bac. spot.
It's a bit difficult for me to comment on varietal disease resistance because I pretty much spray all my peach trees the same, the exception being some trees very prone to bac. spot have been sprayed with Flameout.
My biggest disease problem is rot. With heavy rains, some varieties are more prone to it even with sprays. Most of the time it's very superficial skin rot, but it's enough that I can't sell them.
Autumnstar ripens at the same time as O'Henry. It's a bigger peach than O'Henry and the flavor is almost as good, but not quite. I did have a little bit of rot on Autumnstar this year. O'Henry doesn't rot at all.
One thing I think is important to know about peaches is that soil type and water table have a lot to do with the quality- probably as much as cultivar.
I manage one orchard where certain spots produce bland peaches on all but driest years. There, highly flavored, high brix varieties are essential and nectarines have been consistently better than peaches- really great. Plums are wonderful. The soil is a clay loam which is superior for growing vegetables but a tad rich and wet for fruit, given that we get rain throughout the growing season.
Also, although my own land has great drainage and an almost hydrophobic silt, the quality of my peaches has gone down over time. I am trying to figure out for sure if it is years of soil enrichment that is to blame.
The peaches should be improving as I open up the land to more sun every year as I cut down surrounding trees but something else is in play here. The only thing that I know has changed is the creation of a thick black layer of humus under all my older trees after up to 22 years of annual mulching. There is also a chance that excessive summer pruning is involved but I've been pretty careful about that recently.
Home growers in the east (I'm in southeastern NY) that don't mind using synthetic fungicides should consider nectarines if they like more intensely flavored fruit. Scot's recs are slanted towards rot resistance but a couple extra fungicide sprays may be worth is for many growers. Newer varieties seem less prone to cracking than some of the great oldies like Mericrest.
Thanks for the great report Scott!
I'm eating the last of my Indian Free peaches today at lunch. Is the skin on the Indian Free a little tougher than other peaches for you? Mine seem a little fuzzier, a little thicker and sometimes have an almost tannin-like taste to them. This is my first year of actually tasting a peach from this tree so maybe the skins will get thinner over time?
Any ideas on where I could find Clayton? I found Carolina Gold and Winblo at Vaughn Nursery this spring, but haven't seen Clayton anywhere.
Also, how do those 3 compare in disease resistance to some of the older varieties, in particular Gold Dust and Old Mixon Free?
In their first year both Carolina Gold (in-ground) and Winblo (container) did pretty well. All my in-ground (PF1 and Tango being the others) had almost pristine leaves with no sprays.
The 3 in containers (Winblo, Harrow Diamond and White Lady) all had more troubles, probably due to stress from not enough watering (weekly wasn't enough...). Winblo did the best, keeping it's leaves, even though they are a bit raggedy. Harrow Diamond lost most of its leaves and the rest are not in good shape. White Lady lost it's leaves, but grew another set, which now look pretty good.
Thanks for the great info. I hope to be able to reciprocate in a few years, at least on the apples front.
"Mine (Indian Free) seem a little fuzzier, a little thicker and sometimes have an almost tannin-like taste to them."
I remember them the same way. The peaches had a very different flavor that was nice. I would almost compare the tannin to a dry wine, but sweeter than a dry wine. Mine were also very fuzzy.
Clayton is not sold commercially. I've looked for this tree for the last couple years and have never been able to find it. If I ever get any trees from these last Clayton grafts, I'll be happy to share the wood. I think Scott was the one who originally rediscovered this peach and has been recommending it for years. Just about all of Scott's descriptions have been spot on for the one's I've tried, the exception being Gold Dust (which I'm not sure I've got) and Redhaven which I like.
I trial more peaches that have been recommended by folks with a lot of experience in different cultivars, so I've also put in several peaches that Hman has recommended and not been disappointed. Lady Nancy is a very good tasting peach so I ordered more from Adams. John Boy (I believe that was Hman's recommendation for a mid-season peach) was not quite as good as Blazingstar which ripens at the same time, but it was still very good and much larger. Definitely a keeper. This was the first time John Boy put out a decent amount of fruit, so I don't have much experience with it. Tangos is another one that I'm very pleased with so far.
Sanguine Pilat and Clayton are not available commercially so you need to find a scion source and graft it. I have Clayton and will eventually have Sanguine Pilat assuming my graft takes off.
Re: rot and sprays, the more heat and humidity you have the worse rot is and we have huge amounts of both. So the importance of rot resistance depends a lot on your location. I did a few MFF sprays this summer and it helped some, but I didn't do enough sprays. The rare commercial grower of nectarines around here must be doing biweekly cover sprays all summer.
Scott, yeah, I can only speak about conditions in NY, but what about the earlier nectarines like Easternglo or even something earlier? If it ripens early I don't see how it would suffer more from humidity there than something like Redgold here.
Also if you haven't tried bi-weekly applications of Indar how do you know how it would work there? I've gotten nectarines on seasons with almost constant warm rain with that intervention.
Hman, I do think biweekly applications would work fine, and I expect that is how the few local nectarines I see are grown. The earlier nectarines would stand a better chance, but there are also the problems of heavy bug pressure and cracking -- it doesn't add up.
Ray, I have not grown any of the far south peaches. There are also many other lines of peaches I have not grown, such as the Paul Friday series, etc. If someone has grown some of the ones I like above and has another peach they think tastes as good or better, I would give that guy a spin.
Scott, how do Gold Dust and Old Mixon Free compare to the NC releases from a disease perspective? I see both for sale from Tierra Madre this year.
Thanks Scott & Olpea- hopefully in a few years I'll feel competent to graft peaches. I'm just starting with apples and pears, so it will be a while before I graduate to stonefruit.
Scott/Olpea, have you ever tried the peaches from the University of Arkansas program? White County (low acid) and White River (normal acid) seem pretty promising from this study.
Both are resistant to bacterial spot. White County is also pretty resistant to peach scab (8%,0%, and 0% impact in 3 years). It also describes it (and White Rock, an early cling) as getting 'occasional brown rot', but not in most years.
It doesn't detail out White River's susceptibility, but it does say that WR has an overall health rating of 9.7 vs WC's 8.7 (10 point scale). It list the brix for both at over 13 (higher than Redhaven's 12.3).
I haven't trialed that one. Nearly all of the modern white peaches I have found lacking in flavor compared to the best whites out there. The only really good tasting modern one I found was Yukon King but it gets horrible brown rot. Carolina Belle, Summer Pearl, etc were supposed to be good but were not all that great. So, I am reluctant to try it myself. Give it a go and let us know what you think! To compare, some truly great white peaches include Yukon King, Oldmixon Free, Silver Logan, and Carman.
Great report Scott. My lowly 'Elberta' was fabulous this year. I was so surprised as to how easy the skin was to peel off of the peach. I planted a 'Belle of Georgia' this spring but I have a bit of a wait to taste the fruit. Its a true dwarf. Your list makes me yearn for more room and time! Mrs. G

New Onimusha announced ... for browsers and phones
What's that? A new Onimusha game is being made? All our dreams have come true? It's for ... oh ... it's a browser-based strategy RPG.
Well now I just kind of want to cut myself.
Onimusha Soul is set in the Sengoku era and will revolve around "social" elements, as players become warlords and battle for control of Japan. It'll take advantage of the Unity 3D engine to make for more impressive visuals than most games of this nature, and basic play will be free. Microtransactions are obviously expected.
The game is due to hit browsers on June 28 and smartphones in the fall. Sigh.

Hi there,
Here's some more work I've done the past week or so:
I've been sculpting some busts for secondary story characters. I'm mainly focusing on other race drivers at the moment, but I'll evenutally broaden to more diverse character types.
Here's a story/mood piece. I'm trying to work on some scenes with less direct lighting:
I'm planning to make some 'Top Trumps' style trading cards (using character sculpts and vehicle designs) to go with the book (whenever it's finally done!). I want them to resemble old cigarette cards from the early 20th century. Here's a mockup of how one side of a card might look:
That's it for now - cheers!

Tulsa Wins Worst Parking Crater
Tulsa wins a dubious honor: the "Golden Crater" championship of Streetsblog's contest for Worst Parking Crater in a U.S. downtown.
Photos on the blog show an aerial view of the southern half of downtown, as well as two photos looking north toward the BOK Tower from Boston Avenue, one from 1978 and one from 2005.
Voting ended today in the March-Madness-style contest. Tulsa beat out Houston in the "final four" and Milwaukee in the championship.
The final match was a "total blowout," according to the blog, which lists Tulsa receiving 483 votes to Milwaukee's 124.
Listen here to our report from this morning, on why Tulsa has done so "well" in the competition.

Suspicious friends could land you on airline no-fly list
A Transport Canada document says a person "who directly associates with" an alleged extremist might be added to the no-fly roster.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
OTTAWA—Simply knowing someone suspected of terrorist activities could land you on Canada's no-fly list, according to an internal document the government tried to keep secret.
Criteria for possible addition to the list includes a person "who directly associates with" an alleged extremist, says the draft document prepared by Transport Canada officials.
The no-fly list, which came into effect in June 2007, is intended to prevent people considered a threat to airline security from getting on a flight taking off in — or heading to — Canada.
The government says candidates for the list are assessed "on a case-by-case basis," but the precise criteria for inclusion have long been a mystery.
Civil libertarians, opposition MPs and the federal privacy commissioner have all raised concerns about fairness of the no-fly roster.
The Canadian Press requested records related to the planned no-fly list under the Access to Information Act more than five years ago. While some documents were released, others were withheld. A complaint to the federal information commissioner only recently dislodged the late 2005 draft memo outlining "selection factors" for inclusion on the list.
Transport Canada did not reply to questions about why the material was kept under wraps for years.
The one-page memo divides the selection factors into three types of threats: individual, criminal and terrorist. All three categories flag people with an interest in or history of attacking civilian aircraft. But they also provide new details about who might be added to the no-fly list.
The individual category singles out those whose "mental instability" is considered a threat to an airliner as well as people with "a history of unruly violent behaviour against aviation."
The criminal criteria include those with a record of violence coupled with "a motive to attack or harm an air carrier."
A person who has "attended a terrorist training camp and has gained knowledge that can be used to target the aviation sector" falls under the terrorism-related criteria. The category also includes someone who "directly associates with an individual who is known for or suspected of terrorist acts."
The document cautions the factors would be considered "as part of an overall assessment of an individual."
"Other factors for consideration include how long ago the behaviour/action occurred, and in what context it happened."
Those caveats provide little comfort, said Roch Tasse of the Ottawa-based International Civil Liberties Monitoring Group.
Potentially adding someone to the no-fly list because they associate with a person merely suspected of terrorist activity makes an unfair practice worse, he said.
"It's like a double-whammy," he said. "It's almost a double violation of your rights."
The Public Safety Department, which now has responsibility for compilation of the list, did not respond to questions about the selection criteria.
Candidates for the no-fly list are put forward primarily by the RCMP and the Canadian Security Intelligence Service. Members of these agencies, along with representatives of Public Safety, Transport and the Justice Department, sit on an advisory panel that formally recommends names for inclusion. The public safety minister then decides if someone is added.
People are not notified in advance they are on the list, finding out only if they try to fly.
There is only one publicly known instance — involving a Montreal-area student — of someone being prevented from boarding a plane because they are on the Canadian no-fly list.
Independent consultants hired by Transport Canada later found the student should never have been barred from an Air Canada flight, and recommended the department carry out a sweeping review of the no-fly list.
Tasse says a bigger problem is the continuing use of the much larger U.S. no-fly list by Canadian airlines, even for flights within Canada.
"We have many cases of people who can now not fly because they're on the U.S. no-fly list."

Alcohol Quotes, Sayings about alcoholic drinks - Page 2
I went on a diet, stopped smoking dope, cut out the drinking and heavy eating, and in fourteen days I lost two weeks.
Yes, I have a drinking problem, which is only solved by drinking.
That's the problem with drinking if something bad happens you drink in an attempt to forget; if something good happens you drink in order to celebrate; and if nothing happens you drink to make something happen.
People drink to get rid of the pain they are going through. Some drink and hope when they close their eye that they will never be awake to feel the pain.
You know you're drunk when you take a big shot with the lid still on.
Liquor, beer, and vodka make the world a nicer place. People can't stop laughing, all the fat ugly girls get laid, and the world keeps spinning round. And round and round.
A man's true character comes out when he's drunk.
– Charles Chaplin
I only drink alcohol when I am alone or with someone else.
Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut.
– Ernest Hemingway
Take me down to the bar! We'll drink breakfast together!
– W.C. Fields
A woman drove me to drink and I never had the decency to thank her.
– W.C. Fields
Everybody's got to believe in something. I believe I'll have another beer.
– W.C. Fields
Either give me more wine or leave me alone.
– Rumi
I don't have a drinking problem. I'm just really thirsty.
In vino veritas – in wine there is truth.
A drink. A good company in bad times. !!!
I get a lot more from alcohol than alcohol gets from me.
There's nothing wrong with my liver as its been preserved in alcohol.
Alcohol, because nothing good started with someone having a salad.
Just give me the alcohol and nobody gets hurt.
Who is this moderation I am supposed to be drinking with?
There's nothing wrong with my liver as its been preserved in alcohol.
My drinking team has a hockey problem.
Friend 1: So are you a heavy drinker?
Friend 2: No, I only drink light beer.
I haven't drank since the funnel was invented!

Deal to sell 76ers to Joshua Harris-led group done
PHILADELPHIA The Philadelphia 76ers have been sold to New York-based leveraged buyout specialist Joshua Harris, ending Comcast-Spectacor's 15-year run of ownership that included a trip to the NBA finals.
The tentative deal, which does not include ownership of their building, the Wells Fargo Center, must be approved by the NBA. Terms were not disclosed, but the deal Wednesday comes with the league in the midst of a lockout. The start of the 2011-12 season in October is in jeopardy.
"We are honored to have the opportunity to be affiliated with this storied franchise," Harris said in a statement. "As a basketball fan who attended college in Philadelphia, and with family roots here, I have always felt a strong connection to this City and the 76ers."
The new ownership also includes David Blitzer, a senior managing director of The Blackstone Group, along with other members of the investor group Art Wrubel and Jason Levien.
"We are excited to become associated with this iconic team and to have the chance to serve the great city of Philadelphia and its loyal basketball fans," Blitzer said.
The deal is expected to close later this year.
Comcast-Spectacor, led by chairman Ed Snider, purchased the Sixers from Harold Katz on April 24, 1996. Comcast-Spectacor also owns the NHL's Philadelphia Flyers.
Harris is one of three founders of Apollo Global Management, a publicly listed alternative investment manager. He leads a group that includes former NBA player agent and Sacramento Kings executive Jason Levien.
The 76ers were valued this year by Forbes at $330 million, 17th in the NBA, and have a TV deal with cable station Comcast SportsNet through 2029.
Harris co-founded Apollo Global Management in 1990. He has a bachelor's degree from the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School of Business and a master's degree from the Harvard Business School.
His group is purchasing a team that hasn't won a championship since 1983. Under Snider's ownership, the 76ers lost to the Los Angeles Lakers in the 2001 NBA finals.
The Sixers have won only one playoff series since 2001 and have been stuck in mediocrity for most of the last decade. They haven't had a winning record since 2004-05, but have made the playoffs three times since.
This past season, the Sixers won 41 games and stretched the Miami Heat to a five-game playoff series in Doug Collins' first season as coach.
"We look forward to helping the 76ers organization build on this past season's accomplishments in the years ahead," Harris said. "The ownership group also looks forward to a long and mutually beneficial relationship with Comcast-Spectacor."
The Sixers routinely lag behind the Phillies, Eagles and Flyers in attendance and attention in a crowded Philadelphia market. From the first year the company owned both teams, Snider has fought the popular notion that he favored the Flyers over the Sixers. Snider founded the Flyers in the 1960s and led them to Stanley Cup championships in 1974 and 1975.
Under Snider, the Sixers drafted Allen Iverson No. 1 overall in 1996 and they hired coach Larry Brown in 1997. The pair, who had a tumultuous relationship, turned the franchise around and led them to their first playoff appearance in eight seasons in 1998-99. The trip to the finals came two years later. Brown quit in 2003 and Iverson was traded in 2006.

Posts Tagged 'sailor chick of the week'
Clean's obsession with Ted Kravitz's Formula 1 'Notebook' inspired his series of SA 'Dock Walks' this past year, and it's quickly become a crowd favorite whether at the Melges Worlds, VOR starts, or Key West. Thankfully, awesome Aussie broadcaster Nic Douglass picked up the torch in Auckland, and her 40-minute dock walk gives you 'the real feel' of being an insider in a race like this as well as some shit you'd just never see otherwise. It's long, it's rambling, and it's real – and quite a bit more interesting than the pretty but incredibly dull leg start…
Big thanks to Nic for sacrificing her spot on a start boat for this piece, and to photographer Jen Edney for making it all look good. Two sailor chicks of the week? Hell yes.
March 18th, 2015 by admin
Nebraska's Jen Edney has been one of our favorite young photographers for the last couple of years, and her growth and maturity in the face of a nasty sailing accident last year has been phenomenal. Jen's work has a uniqueness about it that's hard to pinpoint, but a few minutes with her body of work shows that her onboard 'human' shots are some of the best we've ever seen in the sport. Jen will be working on some special projects surrounding the VOR over the next few months, but was embedded with Team Vestas Wind in Cape Town, and she put this story together for the Anarchists after the team's recent drama. Go and like her Facebook Page for more about this exciting young Sailor Chick of the Week. And wish her a Happy Birthday while you're at it.
The boats are gone. The village is empty. My friends, my 'family' are at sea. It's a strange feeling after so much excitement, movement and anticipation over the past few weeks. Everyone is going about their daily lives as usual around me, but today, I am in another world. I find myself thinking about what my friends are eating for the next 25+ days while I eat breakfast. About the bashing they must have received overnight while I slept in the comforts of my own bed, feeling a tad guilty. I am thinking about my 30 hours+ of flight time home, realizing that I have it easy. Call me crazy but I am also thinking, "I wish I was out there with them."
Back home, I open my eyes to see the bright orange and pink colors of a Nebraska sunrise, having stirred from yet another dream of open water and blue sky. It's a recurring dream these days and a stark contrast to my landlocked location. The first thing I think about upon waking is my mates at sea and how they are getting along, but it is Thanksgiving morning and I have so much to be thankful for. This morning I am thankful for my 'real' family in the Midwest as well as my 'sailing family.'
Changing Colors
I thought about a recent experience I had during this past trip to Cape Town, when I was sitting in a circle of more than a dozen friends from all over the world; a night when I realized how special this sport can be. I was sitting across from a person who helped me with my first-ever sailing story seven years ago and who I credit for getting me into this mess that I've grown to live, love, and long for. As we all swapped stories from years past – stories that were in some cases older than I am! – nostalgia set in, and we talked about the way this race has really become life for so many. We talked about the Whitbread days, how the race has changed and grown, stories of sadness, joy, and drama. Nights barely remembered and nights whose impact will be felt for decades…we all have those.
Throughout the next 9 months, I will constantly be "changing colors" to tell my own stories of the Volvo Ocean Race. My loyalty and allegiance lies not with one team, but with the sailors…all of them. I've realized how special this opportunity is, and that is one that wouldn't have existed in this way during the past few editions of the race. Everyone has talked about how 'One Design' has changed the dynamics of the race, making for the tightest racing in history and opening the door for more sailors to compete, but that's not all that has changed. The race has nearly always been won by the best-designed yacht and in recent years by the team with the biggest budget, forcing the sailors to work extra hard behind closed doors. And now, the doors are all open; and the new feeling in the Boatyard, the team bases, the Sailor's Terrace, the hotels, parties, and media centers is one of camaraderie and togetherness. It's something that dominated many of the less professional days of the Whitbread, but it's back – and the public, the sailors, and their families love it. Of course they do – that camaraderie is one of the things we all love about the sport, isn't it?
This was most recently illustrated as Team Alvimedica diverted from the race to stand by and assist in the rescue of fellow Team Vestas Wind after they ran hard aground. Charlie Enright said, "The only thing that matters was that everyone was OK, they are our competitors and our friends but in addition to that we are each other's support networks when we are sailing in remote corners of the world." And anyone who watched Will Oxley's wonderful radio chatter and interviews knows that there was nothing that he wouldn't do to help save his friends, perched on a reef in the middle of the ocean.
It is moments like these that highlight this precious aspect of the sport. Humbling moments that remind us to stop, take a breath, look around, and truly appreciate and respect where we are, and who we are with. As usual, Bouwe Bekking said it straight: "We are someway, somehow, one big family in this race."

Check out the moves from Martine Suffiatti-Grael, daughter of Brazil's ultimate rock star sailor Torben Grael as she takes her first Sailor Chick of the Week award! The young Brazilian, with Kahena Kunze on the front, took the win yesterday by over 30 points as the Arenal Training Camp Trophy wrapped up in Palma. This event – the prelude to the Pricess Sofia Olympic Class event – has exploded in popularity recently despite a tiny budget, pulling a strong mix of next week's World Cup competitors and young sailors who want to share the same line. The US team didn't enter, though after Miami we have high hopes for them at next week's event, and French and British sailors dominated the event with Spain taking some scalps as well, most notably in the 30-boat Nacra 17 class. Full results here.
In other Palma news, the World Cup re-branding continues to prove how incompetent ISAF can be, with costs continuing to explode, still more format changes for seemingly every event, and dismal worldwide interest except in a few sailing-crazed nations. To make matters worse, most of the live coverage from Palma promised to the public is now gone along with title sponsor MAPFRE; the Spanish company chose to spend their millions on a new Volvo Ocean Race campaign rather than throwing good money after bad on a dinghy regatta with a comparatively tiny ROI. This is the last year of the Palma event's contract with sailing's international overlords, and if the island still has to come up with the money that ISAF wants to remain part of the 'World Cup" for 2015, our sources tell us the awesome Mediterranean venue will be out of the running. Frankly, as great a venue and event as the Palma regatta is, we'd be surprised if the event isn't just as big without ISAF as it is with them.
Thanks to one of Europe's best sailing photographers - Spain's Jesùs Renedo - for the shot of the wonderful Martine, and get over to her campaign's Facebook page for more info.

Like Colin Kaepernick in the frozen Midwest last week, Sailor Chick of the Week Laura Beigel (Annapolis, MD) shows off her guns despite a chilly and wet Saturday at Star Winter Series event number 3. Beigel, along with her aunt and longtime Star skipper/Class Exec Barbara Vosbury-Beigel pulled a nice midfleet finish of 14/22 on the weekend despite tipping the scales at about half the weight of most of the fleet. One-legged Brazilian badass Lars Grael/Sam Goncalves finally knocked Augie Diaz off the top spot in a regatta, but only on a tie-break; Augie continues to dominate the Series as the biggest event - the 26-boat, 8-nation, world champ and medal-filled Midwinters kicks off on Thursday. Hit up the Series Facebook Page for event reporting from our boy Clean, with more photos like this one from Meredith Block.

You'll be forgiven if you think Victoria's Secret did a sailing shoot for their latest catalog, but it ain't the case: Meet University of Hawaii FJ skipper/crew Kellie Yamada trying her hand at some Moth sailing after Worlds racing finished up last night. This Hawaiian native is not only one of the most drop-dead gorgeous Sailor Chicks of the Week we've ever had the privilege to show you, but she's a bad-ass sailor chick with no fear and plenty of talent. She's so fearless that, when Jonny Goldsberry rocked up to the Worlds media boat and offered a ride to the group, Kellie stripped off her shirt and shorts and jumped in the water wearing nothing but lingerie. "I have GOT to give it a try," she said, ignoring cameras and giving it her all. Now Kellie just needs a little more breeze…or not…we don't really care so long as she keeps sailing.

Known as "Red Lady" in Cruising Anarchy, Jessica is the ideal Sailor Chick of the Week, and exactly the kind of soul this sport needs more of. Far more than just a pretty face on a yacht, she's an owner and liveaboard in the Big City.
She singlehands her boat, races on several other boats in many crew positions, and has a great time doing it.
She splices, does rigging, and can handle nearly every kind of boat maintenance that you can think of. And, she looks great doing it all. More impressively, she's learned it all in just about a year.Keep rockin' it, Jess! We're proud of you!

The first group of candidates for the all-women's SCA Volvo Ocean Race team left Southhampton for their training base in Lanzarote yesterday, and judging from the quality of the sailors, this ain't no publicity stunt-seeking campaign. You can check out some video of the departure here as well as words from some of the girls, including our favorite racer of all time; Sam Davies. Will our extreme disappointment losing Sam from the Vendee fleet deliver a silver lining in following the exploits of Cap'n Sam for the next two and a half years? One can only hope! We also hope that the second group of candidates – due in to the Canaries in a few weeks – will include at least one of our awesome American racers. Photo thanks to Rick Tomlinson/SCA.

Monty Lankford: A Conservative Republican with a Real Chance to Win a House Seat this November
In a summer filled with negative stories predicting gloom and doom for Republicans this November, I am encouraged that a genuine conservative is stepping up to the plate and running for Congress here at home to prove the naysayers wrong. Monty Lankford is a candidate in our Republican primary here in Tennessee's 4th Congressional District. He is a true conservative, and after meeting him personally, | Read More »

What it is about…
Sri Maayi Films' Varsanadu is based on a true story and has love as its central theme. Produced by R. Senthil Kumar and directed by Surya Prakash, the film features Kumaran and Shristi Daghe in the lead with M.S. Baskar, Singampuli, Singamuthu, Mayilsamy, Rajkapoor, Santhana Bharathi, Yuvarani and Sampath Ram appearing in important roles. Yathish Mahadev has scored the music.
Music highlights
There are five songs in the album and 'Pesu Kanmani,' sung by Haricharan and Mega and written by Valmiki, is easily the best. The same lyricist's 'Idhu Kadavulin Kadhala,' sung by Ajeesh and Mega, is good. 'Vandanam,' written by Kavikarko and sung by Ranjith, is in folk style, while 'Kannae Un,' written by Thamizh Amuthan and sung by Ajeesh, is pleasing. Annamalai has written 'En Idhayam' and it is sung by Jayadev and Mega.
What they say…
Producer R. Senthil Kumaran: I am a native of Madurai. I am running a restaurant in Chennai. It's been my dream to produce a film in Tamil. I liked the story narrated by Surya Prakash and we have made it into a film.
Director Surya Prakash: I started my career as an assistant director in 1989. My first film as director was Manikam. Then came Maayi, Diwan and Bharathi Simma Reddy (Telugu). My fifth film, Varsanadu, is based on what happened in the life of one of my friends. The hero is an aggressive youth, who frequently gets into street brawls, while the heroine is a gentle girl who hates violence. The story is about how love blossoms between these contrasting characters.
Hero Kumaran: I am into the real estate business. As I am passionate about films, I wanted to give acting a shot. I was thrilled when director Surya Prakash offered me the lead role in this film. I gained a lot of confidence after shooting for some important scenes. I think I will get to do more films in the future.
Music director Yathish Mahadev: My first film as composer was Indiravizha. Then came Sonna Puriyaadhu, and now Varsanadu. For Varsanadu, the director wanted me to compose music befitting the storyline set in the 1980s. We have songs for different situations that will revive old memories. I am getting positive feedback on the songs, which makes me happy.

Wiring Bathroom switches
Description of Photo: This is a basement bathroom. The pic is of an electrical wall box that has room for two switches. I believe one switch is for a light above the vanity, and the other for a ceiling light with fan. This is a guess because there is no junction box above the vanity and there is no ductwork to vent the fan. There is a white wire (with a black, white, and ground) that runs to the ceiling for a ceiling junction box, which I will need to install.
I installed a GFCI Outlet and it works fine. I am a little worried about cutting a hole above the vanity and not finding a wire. I am not sure what to expect. I just want to get some light in the bathroom, so we can use the sink and toilet.
There are three black wires and a red wire. Do I use two single pole switches? Why is there a red wire since it will not function as a three way switch?
The bathroom was framed with drywall and stub plumbing when we bought the house. There is do drop ceiling yet.
Thanks in advance for any guidance.
We have no clairvoyance on to how this was wired. How did you get to this state? Was there a switch that was removed or are you coming upon something that was roughed in by someone else.
What do you mean you installed a GFCI there? This looks like #14 wiring and you can't legally connect a bathroom receptacle to a 15A circuit.
The biggest clue would be to remove the fan/light and see what wires are running to them (and hope nobody installed a hidden junction somewhere and flipped the wiring around).
Many bathroom fans have both a fan and light so they use the extra wire in the 14-3 is used to run the fan while the other is used for the light.
Additional information, as Ron mentioned, would be useful.
My initial thought and absent any other information it appears that power comes in on wires 1 and 2. Then goes out to the vanity and light/fan on wires 3 and 4.
It does appear that you have some extra neutrals in there as well. Are there other wires in the box that aren't shown in the picture?
As for light above the vanity, I assume you have access to the joist space above the bathroom? You should see a cable or conduit going down the wall through the top plate.
I'm hoping there's a junction box above the vanity. It should be mounted on the side of a stud, so that may give you some clue as to its location. If the box was installed properly, there may be slight bow in the drywall which could be another clue. The last option is to make a small hole in the drywall and go in with a L shaped piece of wire and feel around. You may need to repeat that a couple of times.
You also said something about the fan not being vented. Get that done too! Dumping hot, moist air into the joist space is not a good thing.
Here is my best guess.
#1- black wire connected to hot in/hot out (feed for both switches)
#2- black (switch leg) to your vanity light
#3&4- 3wire cable (switch legs) to fan/light combo, red to light, black to fan (personal preference)
If not, that's what it should have been.

Will my gardenias recover?
I think I made a big boo-boo! Last year we bought two lovely gardenia bushes. We planted them in pretty pots in the front yard. They did ok, except the buds kept falling off just before they would bloom. Only a small few actually bloomed. This past fall, I was afraid to leave them out for the winter because we had planted one in the ground the year before, and it didn't make it. So, I repotted them and brought them in. The leaves all fell off, but a couple of months ago, they started getting new leaves. This week, I moved them back outside and fed them. The leaves were only on the tops of the branches for the most part. Now, some of them are turning yellow. They look so sad. Did I ruin them? Should I have just let them over-winter outside? Will they recover??
Gardenias will drop leaves if they experience a shock, which moving from inside to outside usually is, particularly if the night temps are colder than what they were used to.
Don't panic! As long as the roots are healthy, they should continue making new leaves. Just don't overwater them while they don't have leaves, keep the soil evenly moist, and DON'T fertilize any more -- gardenias don't like heavy fertilizing unless they're large and well-established, and more fert right now will only shock them more.
BTW, no gardenia will survive a z6 winter in a pot, so you did the right thing to bring them in for the winter.
Good luck!
