SEATTLE -- Neil Bergquist's dream was to have a snowball fight in Seattle this past Saturday. Without a single flake in sight, you might say that dream didn't have a snowball's chance in -- well, Seattle.
But Bergquist and his buddies found a way. With help from KLB construction, they hauled 160,000 pounds of snow -- 34 truckloads -- from Snoqualmie Pass to a cozy spot at Seattle Center, in the shadow of the Space Needle.
Dubbed Snow Day, the event was a fundraiser for the Boys and Girls Clubs of King County. Companies donated money in exchange for a little space to build a snow fort.
After the fort-building competition, participants took part in agiant snowball fight. The goal was to break the Guinness World Record for largest snowball fight, an honor that belonged to Korea with 5,387 people.
The snowball fight was a painful affair at times, with many of the snowballs transforming into ice. Several participants cried out in pain after getting hit.
But in the end, 5,834 people officially took part in the fight, which means Seattle now holds the world record. Anyone not throwing snowballs was deducted from the total, Bergquist said Monday.

Professors Baker, Farrell and Nesterenko Awarded NSF/Intel Parallelism Curriculum GrantPosted Aug. 24, 2011
Professors Johnnie W. Baker, Paul A. Farrell, and Mikhail Nesterenko received an award inducting them into the NSF/TCPP Fall 2011 Early Adopter program. The NSF/TCPP program is supported by the Intel Academic Community and NSF.
This program enables select university professors around the world to revamp undergraduate Computer Science and Engineering curricula to better prepare students to take advantage of tomorrow's multi- and many-core technology. Students, who benefit from the inclusion of such state-of-the-art topics in their curriculum, will future-proof their skills and be at an advantage in competing for rewarding careers in the marketplace, which increasingly will require software that is optimized for multi- and many-core environments.
The proposal involves introducing appropriate parallel and distributed computing (PDC) topics into a number of core courses in Computer Science such as CS I, Operating Systems, Design & Analysis of Algorithms and Systems Programming; the planning of curriculum revisions for others; and the creation of a parallel and distributed concentration at Kent State. Materials produced will be shared with the Academic Community, which is producing new curriculum standards for incorporating PDC into the core computer science curriculum.

Nice little setup.
There's a station to put your umbrella in when the case is opened up for use as a statchel. If your umbrella is really wet, I presume the wetness could come through. But, can't say for sure yet, as I haven't yet used the umbrella.
Don't know how long it will hold up, either, because material is thin, but it does appear to be made well, including the umbrella part.
Nice pattern - not too loud. Carrier bag is mid-sized.

Newest 2006 Mercedes-Benz R350 Problem Reports
The crankshaft position sensor may fail. Symptoms of this are: The engine will crank—but not start—especially when the engine is warm. The car may start again if it is left to cool off, but it may run roughly or have poor performance. Communicating these specific symptoms to your technician can save diagnostic time.
As a way to increase braking performance, the brake pads and rotors are make of a softer material and may be in need of replacement after approximately 20,000 miles; owners should be vigilant about getting their brakes checked.
The anti-lock brake system (ABS) modulator assembly may fail due to dirty brake fluid. Our technicians recommend a complete brake system flush every two years in order to help prevent this problem.
Vehicles equipped with a 7-speed automatic transmission may develop a rough shifting condition, most commonly going up from first to second gear and going down from third to second or second to first gear. Our technicians tell us this is due to an internal component failure. Mercedes has released updated parts; the transmission will need to be removed and disassembled to complete the necessary repairs.
A problem with the ball joints can cause a creaking noise. There is an updated part to remedy this problem.
A vibration felt through the center floor of the vehicle can be caused by driveshaft flex discs, which crack and shred, causing excessive driveshaft movement. Not repairing these can cause damage to the driveshaft center support bearing, or, in the worst case scenario, damage to the transmission or differential.

JON CARDINELLI, writing in SA Rugby magazine, says South Africa's great prodigy continues to exceed expectations.
Pat Lambie can't miss. He kicks six out of six against the Melbourne Rebels, and calls kicking consultant Braam van Straaten after the Sharks' victory. 'Coach, I'm hitting the ball so sweetly, it feels like I can't miss,' he says. That rare combination of skill and composure is once again evident as he nails three out of three the very next week.
In October 2010, SA Rugby magazine hailed the arrival of a special talent. Lambie exhibited all the attributes of a match-winning flyhalf, although at the time of writing, he was yet to substantiate the speculation; he was yet to take control. That article was written about a promising teenager, and few could have predicted the accelerated metamorphosis he would undergo in the next five months.
Lambie has ascended; he has begun to spread his wings. He led the Sharks to a Currie Cup title with a dazzling all-round display against Western Province. The sharp tactical probes, the visionary distribution and, of course, the daring dart and fend on Schalk Burger that epitomised his audacity. That moment alone will go down in domestic history, but on a longer timeline, it will serve as a precursor to greater deeds.
It's an unshakeable confidence that's come to mark him more than his natural feel for the game. Lambie believes he can't miss, and through his increasingly impressive feats, more and more people are beginning to share this confidence.
Van Straaten picked up on that defining quality in the build-up to the 2010 Currie Cup final. Tasked with refining Lambie's kicking technique, Van Straaten was surprised by the youngster's penchant for responsibility. Van Straaten and Lambie spent a total of five hours during that final week discussing technique and practising an array of kicks, and it formed the basis for what was to become a prosperous working relationship.
They linked up again during the Sharks' pre-season, and Lambie remained ambitious. While firmly entrenched as the first-choice flyhalf, there was still much to prove. There were other factors that contributed to his erratic goal-kicking on the Springbok tour of the home nations, but it was clear that his technique was holding him back.
'There were some fundamental flaws that needed correcting,' says Van Straaten, a former Springbok flyhalf with a reputation for goal-kicking accuracy. 'His body position was wrong and his last step towards the ball wasn't quite right. It took quite a while to fix, but as we saw during the early stages of Super Rugby this year, that hard work has paid off.
'For a developing player like Pat, you want him exposed to as much ball as possible. This applies to kicking as much as it does to other areas of his game. I'd noticed that the Sharks used Stefan Terblanche as their primary kicker when they kicked for touch, and so I spoke to the Sharks' coaches and suggested that Pat take on that responsibility. The good habits he'd picked up after working on his goal-kicking were carried across to his kicking out of hand, and because he got a feel for kicking the ball to touch early in the game, he would have some rhythm before kicking for goal.'
The Sharks won four of their first five matches and Lambie boasted a goal-kicking average of 86%. The improvement in his tactical game was also evident, and if not for a finger fracture that sidelined him for three weeks, he may have continued to top the point-scoring table.
While the Sharks toured Australasia, Lambie stayed in close contact with Van Straaten. The latter continued to analyse Lambie's kicking performances and mail him video clips and feedback. It was after the Sharks beat the Rebels 34-32 in Melbourne and Lambie kicked six out of six that Van Straaten received a phone call from his prodigy.
'It was a proud moment for me as a coach,' recalls Van Straaten. 'We had changed his kicking style and he'd put in the work, and he had progressed to the point where he felt like he just couldn't miss. And it wasn't a case of arrogance or over-confidence. He was kicking like an absolute king.'
Lambie's performances with the boot and with ball in hand have not gone unnoticed. There's a healthy appreciation for the 20-year-old in Sharks country, while members of the Springbok management are keeping a close eye on his progress.
He already has four Test caps and was on the field when South Africa completed wins against Ireland, Wales and England last year. But whether he gained anything from that northern sojourn is a point of contention.
Before that touring squad was announced, Sharks coach John Plumtree said that it wasn't 'necessary' for Lambie to be involved. Having watched the four Tests and the questionable manner in which Lambie was managed, you'd have to agree that the youngster would have been better served continuing his development in a Sharks jumper. The Bok management introduced Lambie from the bench at odd times, and even the softest of critics would have viewed it as an example of a player being set up to fail. Morné Steyn was in great goal-kicking form, and yet coach Peter de Villiers decided to trade Steyn for Lambie at times when the game was still in the balance.
Lambie admitted that he would have liked a start, but tempered the talk of frustration by adding that the tour provided him with good exposure to the Bok systems. Sharks assistant coach Grant Bashford has been impressed with Lambie's progress in Super Rugby, and suggests that the flyhalf took the whole Bok experience in his stride.
'I'm not sure that he added anything to his game after touring with the Boks, but he certainly didn't do himself a discredit,' says Bashford. 'A great deal of work has been done since his return, and he continues to impress everybody, not only with his skill, but also with his attitude.
'We always felt he would end up at flyhalf, but fate certainly had a hand in his move to the position as early as last year. He came into the Super 14 side as a fullback because Adi Jacobs was out injured and we had to move Stefan Terblanche to outside centre. Then we moved Pat to No 12 in the Currie Cup and eventually to flyhalf when Steve Meyer suffered that big knee injury. Sometimes these things happen for the best.'
Butch James must start at No 10 for the Boks at this year's World Cup, as he has the all-round game as well as the experience of having won the tournament in 2007. Lambie is the future of South African rugby, but history will show that experienced teams win World Cups.
There is still value in taking the 20-year-old to New Zealand and exposing him to a tournament of this magnitude. He's handled everything the rugby world has thrown at him, and while it's a travesty of justice that a starting opportunity didn't come his way last November, Lambie's shown a temperament that, like the rest of his skills set, is in another class.
'Pat has so much time on the ball, he never gets rattled,' says Bashford. 'Sure, he's got a great forward platform to play off, but he's made the most of that possession.
'He's responded fantastically to the responsibility that's been offered to him. He's an old head on young shoulders, he makes the big calls and he's asked for the responsibility to kick. He also has the respect of the younger and senior players. Everybody backs him to make the big decisions.'
And despite his perceived lack of size, he's stood up to the physical intensity of top-flight rugby. Even in the matches where his forwards have been under pressure, as was the case in that loss to the Chiefs, he doesn't shirk his defensive duties.
'Pat's not exactly small at 92kg,' says Bashford. 'His tackle efficiency [before he was sidelined for three weeks] is 93%, so he looks after that all-important flyhalf channel. It's a channel every team targets nowadays, and Pat's proved he can handle that pressure.'
The cynics have drawn parallels between Lambie and Frans Steyn, Ruan Pienaar and Brent Russell, but the fact that Lambie played fullback before flyhalf doesn't mean that he's doomed to a career as a utility. There was much debate about his best position in 2010, but the argument is now settled. Lambie is a flyhalf. End of story.
At a tender age, Lambie already offers more than Frans Steyn and Russell. Steyn never had the sharp decision-making skills required of a top-class 10, while Russell's kicking game was a perpetual shortcoming. Pienaar had all the attributes but was never backed in the position, and at times struggled for confidence. It's clear that Lambie has no such problem. Ask Van Straaten. Ask Bashford. Ask the kid himself. He can't miss.
'Pat's already light years ahead of other players his age,' says Van Straaten. 'That kind of calmness under pressure usually comes with experience, but he's already
there. He's got all the time in the world, whether he's running with the ball or kicking it. It's a mark of the really good players.
'He has time on his side, and I'd like to see him used in the Tri-Nations before the World Cup. Test rugby has more pressure and variables than Super Rugby. I'd like to see him entrusted with that responsibility, and I'd be surprised if he didn't pass that test.'

Three words popped into my head after finding out I was pregnant: "Is it safe?"
Is it safe to keep training for the Cooper River Bridge Run?
Is it safe to eat lunch meat?
Is it safe to use my current shampoo and conditioner, body lotion and makeup?
You get the picture.
I turned into a Googling fool, looking up whatever concern crossed my mind and checking multiple sites and blogs.
Some of those blogs scared me. I read about how using shampoo with sulfates could cause brain damage, the chemicals in my mascara could somehow make their way into the placenta and I could expose my baby to radiation when I used my cell phone or laptop.
I wanted to envelop myself in a bubble wrap cocoon and avoid the world for nine months.
Before my first doctor's appointment, I bought all-natural shampoo, conditioner and body wash without all the chemicals. At least I could control what I put on my hair and body, I reasoned.
I found out at my first appointment that training for my upcoming 10K was out. I'm not a regular runner and had I'd only been seriously training for two or three weeks. That meant it was best to stop to be on the safe side.
As far as my assortment of beauty products, they were all safe, the midwife at the doctor's office assured me. Oops. At least I didn't give in to the temptation to buy a bunch of new makeup.
Food was another story. I found out many tasty foods won't be gracing my plate until the baby is born . I learned :
- Ham, chicken or seafood salads made in a store can contain Listeria .
- Don't lick the spoon when making cookies or cakes. The raw batter could have salmonella.
- Deli meat and hot dogs are OK as long as they're heated to steaming, but I've shied away from both because of the nitrates, which really aren't good for anybody.
Insecticides with DEET were another no-no.
Mosquitoes find me whenever I'm outside, so finding something that actually works was essential. I just found a product that keeps skeeters at bay – Cutter Skinsations Insect Repellent Ultra Light. It uses picaridin, a synthetic chemical based on chemicals in pepper.
I've learned a lot about what's safe and what to avoid. I can't help looking up questions online – it's the reporter in me – but I've learned to turn to the American Pregnancy Association website for reliable information. If I can't find an answer there, I call my doctor's office.
After all, I wouldn't be a first time momma-to-be if I didn't do a little worrying along the way.

ALTAMAHAW — The Late Models championship secure after twisting in uncertainty, the trophy now perched atop his battered race car, Dustin Rumley finally allowed the relief to wash over him Friday night.
"Down to the end, it was close," he said. "I don't know, man. We won the whole thing. That's all that matters, I guess. So let's celebrate."
But clearly, the frustration that hung in his voice, the red and green tape plastered across the shredded front end of his No. 88 Chevrolet, didn't make this a picture-perfect crowning moment for the McLeansville driver.
He clinched his third Late Models title in four years at Ace Speedway by the narrowest of margins after overcoming crash damage and managing to limp to a fifth-place finish in the sometimes mind-blowing 75-lap season finale for the division.
Rumley needed every bit of the 16-point lead he held on R.D. Smith entering this double-points main event that closed the competition in Ace's premier class.
Burlington's Smith led the final 63 laps and won the race, the fifth victory of his resurgent season, which catapulted him into a tie with Rumley in the division points standings.
So the championship went to a tiebreaker and Rumley's six victories on the year emerged as the ultimate deciding factor.
"It's just disappointing, because I had a good car," he said. "I should've been up here contending for the win. But hey, it doesn't matter in the big picture."
Rumley was running in second position, having just been passed for the lead by Smith's No. 16 Ford, when chaos erupted on the 13th lap of this Friday the 13th feature.
Inexplicably, contact from Jason York's No. 14 Ford sent Rumley and York wrecking on the backstretch as their cars approached the entrance to turn three.
All of a sudden, there was Rumley, the championship leader who arrived riding the considerable momentum of a four-race winning streak, clipped from behind and crashed in a whirl of smoke — an eye-popping development that provoked gasps around the speedway and immediately rocked peril into the night.
"I don't know what happened to Jason, if he's been drinking or what. He just ran all over us. Absolutely ran all over us," Rumley said. "I was actually up a little bit higher than I should've been, just because I wasn't sure if he was inside getting the corner. So I swerved up, just trying to take it easy. I was up super high. If I wasn't there I don't know if he would've made it off the corner."
With his father and crew chief Mark Rumley scurrying down from the infield spotters' stand, Dustin Rumley's pit area became a beehive of repair activity as York's wrecked car was gathered and hauled off the track.
Rumley restarted in seventh position and then moved up to sixth position. Had he remained there, the title would have belonged to Smith, who had set sail at the front of the fanned-out, nine-car field.
On the 33rd lap, 42 laps from the end, Robert Turner pulled off the track and retired his No. 13 Ford to the pits. That elevated Rumley to fifth position, the spot he needed to reach to claim the championship in the event of a Smith victory.
Smith said he couldn't help but notice when Rumley's No. 88 was displayed on Ace's scoreboard, which shows the cars occupying the top-five running positions.
"I saw Dustin pop on the board when Robert pulled off the track," Smith said. "I knew if I saw the '88' on the board … .
"We gave it all we had and we did all we could do. This is the car we needed to have. It's a great season for us and it was a great battle all year. Just one position sometime between April and now, but that's the way it goes."
Pelham's John Moore placed second in the 100-lap season finale, the culmination of six months of racing here. He was followed by Pelham's Barry Beggarly in third and Raleigh's Ryan Gray in fourth.
The last 20 laps included the somewhat incredible visual of Smith's No. 16 lapping the bruised No. 88 of Rumley, the two cars that became the class of the Late Models field during the season's final two months.
-- In the twin 25-lap Mini Stocks races, Mocksville's A.J. Sanders delivered a victorious sweep to collect his all-but-inevitable championship with a flourish.
He won both races — edging Michael Tucker in the nightcap after a side-by-side sprint to the finish line — and picked up his eighth and ninth victories of the season to further cement his third championship in the division.
The celebration that ensued was an emotional one for Sanders, who had a heart attack in June. His father, Archie Sanders, a longtime racer now in a wheelchair, was by his side while Silly String sprayed throughout Victory Lane.
"This is where we started together," A.J. Sanders said, trying to choke back tears.
Sanders entered Friday night a seemingly insurmountable 54 points ahead of second-place P-Nut Vernon in the standings. Vernon finished second and fourth in Friday night's races.
-- In the twin 20-lap Street Stocks races, Danny Brewer finished second and first among the tiny five-car fields and cruised to the division title that he already had clinched.
Brewer arrived with a 68-point lead on Larry Isenhower and had the championship definitively in hand. He actually didn't need to start either race to win the title.
Bobby Grimes won the opening 20-lapper and then placed second behind Brewer in the final race.
Here are Friday night's results:

Miami Postgame Notes
Miami vs. Northern Michigan
Saturday, Nov. 10, 2012
Oxford, Ohio - Steve Cady Arena
Freshman forward Sean Kuraly tallied his second point and goal of the season when he netted a power play goal during the first period of Saturday night's action. Both of Kuraly's career goals have come on the power play. Kuraly is among the nine total RedHawks with multiple goals this season. Underclassmen constitute seven of the members in that multi-goal group.
Freshman forward Riley Barber added an assist on Kuraly's goal, which marks his 14th point and ninth assist of the season, both of which are team highs. Barber has scored a point in all but two games this season and leads all NCAA freshmen with 14 points.
Sophomore forward Alex Wideman tallied an assist on Kuraly's goal in the first period before burying a goal of his own to tie the game up with just over two minutes remaining in the third period. The multi-point night is the second for Wideman this season and just the third of his collegiate career. He also scored the shootout-winning goal Saturday.
Senior defenseman Joe Hartman notched his first point of the season with an assist on Wideman's goal. Hartman stood out as the lone upperclassman to tally a point for Miami in Saturday's game.
Underclassmen continue to lead the way for the RedHawks this season, accounting for five of Miami's six points Saturday night and 16 of Miami's 18 points on the weekend. Freshmen and sophomores have been responsible for 59 of the 76 Miami points this year (77.6 percent). Sophomore Austin Czarnik and Barber alone account for 35.5 percent of Miami's total points (27-of-76).
Prior to Saturday night's shootout win, Miami's last CCHA shootout came on Nov. 12, 2011 vs. Michigan. The RedHawks won that shootout vs. UM, as well as the non-official shootout the 'Hawks participated in against Providence on Oct. 19 of this year. After Saturday night's shootout victory, Miami's record in Saturday games is 4-0-1 this year. The RedHawks' record in OT games is now 1-0-2 while their record at Steve Cady Arena improves to 4-0-2 during the 2012-2013 season.
Miami found tremendous success on the power play during the weekend series, scoring four of their seven goals against Northern Michigan on the man advantage. The RedHawks power play percentage improved from .162 (6-37) when the series began to .204 (10-49) after Saturday night, going 4-for-12 on the weekend (33.3 percent).
Freshman goaltender Jay Williams has now started the past five games for the RedHawks and his record stands at 5-2-1.
Miami (6-2-2, 3-2-1-1 CCHA), which now sits in first place in the CCHA, continues its home stand next weekend when CCHA foe Michigan State comes to Steve Cady Arena. The puck drops Friday at 7:35 p.m. with Saturday's matchup set to begin at 7:05 p.m.

In her first English-language release, TV chef and nutritionist Megumi Fujii has prepared 72 mouth-watering box lunch recipes that are easy to make but are overflowing with the hearty goodness that is essential in every Japanese bento. She focuses on sharing everyday Japanese dishes created to satiate hunger and satisfy an ever-expanding Japanese palette.
Plump pot stickers, spicy samosas, and tender bao (stuffed buns) are enjoyed by the million every day in dim sum restaurants, streetside stands, and private homes worldwide. Wrapped, rolled, or filled; steamed, fried, or baked - Asian dumplings are also surprisingly easy to prepare.
Asian grandmothers - whether of Chinese, Japanese, Indonesian, Vietnamese, or Indian descent - are the keepers of the cultural, and culinary, flame. Their mastery of delicious home-cooked dishes and comfort food makes them the ideal source for this cookbook. Author Pat Tanumihardja has assembled 130 tantalizing dishes from real Chinese fried rice to the classic Filipino Chicken Adobo to the ultimate Japanese comfort dish Oyako donburi.
From sleek, silken tofu with delicate toppings to piping-hot fried satchels in a robust sauce, tofu provides a versatile canvas for the intricate flavors and textures that Asian and vegetarian cooks have long enjoyed. America has embraced tofu as a healthy, affordable ingredient. While it has been welcomed into sophisticated mainstream dining, tofu is often hidden in Western guises and in limited applications.
Ask anyone about catering and party meals, and they will all say they wish to see dishes that are easy to make and equally easy on the eyes. For the best experiences, they also hope for a few surprises to their senses, as even little dishes and stylish decorative designs can turn a good into great. So for even the most busy of times, food coordinator Riko Yamawaki, of Tokyo's Riko's Kitchen cooking school, has compiled a treasure-trove of casually stylish dishes that will make every meal a memorable event and every party into a bash!
The Complete Book of Sushi is a definitive collection of traditional, contemporary and innovative recipes for lovers of this Japanese cuisine. Fresh and delicious, sushi is one of the healthiest foods you can eat, as it's low in fat and high in essential vitamins and minerals. Aesthetically pleasing, sushi is also surprisingly simple to make. This practical book will show you how to create beautiful and elegant sushi dishes with ease.
Nothing says a good time than a cake. So with budgets being tight, when you cannot hire a cake boss why not become your own ace of cakes by crafting a fun and stylish Deco Cake! In her English language debut, Japanese Internet sensation Junko compiles thirty-two of her most festival and stylish cake rolls for a global market.
Dinner party, movie night, potluck... Whatever the case may be, your evening will definitely benefit from this smart book of appetizers. Includes recipes such as Wasabi-flavored Steak Slices, Grilled Rice Balls, Napa Cabbage with Miso, Chicken Curry, and appetizer recipes from around the world.
Also known as the Japanese box lunch, bento is a complete meal packed with a variety of sweet and savory treats. Learn how to make over 60 dishes, each designed for portability, in Bento Love. Some of the featured recipes are Spicy Sweet Beef with Shiitake Mushrooms, Fried Mackerel, Caviar and Rice, and Vegetables and Fried Oysters. Includes a section of "add-on" dishes to supplement your box lunch.
"Edomae" means "in front of Edo," the old name of Japan's capital city. In 19th-century Edo, workers in search of quick, nutritious meals favored sushi made from freshly caught fish and vinegar-seasoned rice. Over the years, Edomae sushi became increasingly well-respected. Today, there are few written records about true Edomae sushi, but its technique and soul have been passed down from chef to chef. Now, Kikuo Shimizu, a master chef and owner of Kikuyoshi, a tiny but revered Tokyo restaurant, reveals how authentic Edomae sushi is made.
Bento books have been some of the more accessible and popular genres coming out of Japan over the last few years. Effortless Bento is essentially the bento encyclopedia, filled with hundreds of full-color photos and numerous recipes.
Those who love Japanese food know there is more to it than sukiyaki, tempura, and sushi. Homma presents an intriguing mixture of Japanese country cooking, folk tradition, and memories of growing up in Japan. Cooking methods include techniques for chopping vegetables, making udon and soba noodles, making tofu and using various tofu products, and making rich soup stocks.

On April 3, ASPCA Humane Law Enforcement Agents arrested Alex Dykes, 49, for allegedly beating his one-year-old male Shih Tzu mix, Bentley. In September, our agents visited Dykes' Brooklyn home to investigate a complaint that a dog had been beaten and needed immediate help.
At the residence, Agents found poor Bentley in pain, and they knew something was wrong. They transported him to the ASPCA Animal Hospital for treatment. Our vets treated Bentley with oxygen immediately, ultimately concluding he had a brain hemorrhage and a fractured skull and jaw due to blunt force trauma. He is now recuperating in a foster home.
Dykes was charged with one count of aggravated animal cruelty, a felony, and one count of misdemeanor animal cruelty. If convicted, he faces up to two years in jail and/or a $5,000 fine.
Looking at Bentley's sweet face, we have to wonder: Who could do this to an animal?
what a scum bag! who in the heck can beat a small lil 5lb dog? that is sickening that he is only getting 2yrs in jail-thats no justice!
I am so glad yo found Bentley and he is getting the care and love he deserves. Am so hoping this abuser gets both the fine and jail time...and NOT be able to own another 'pet'.
two years isn't long enough to put this guy away! Poor little furbaby Bentley, he needs love and kindness, not a beating by a brut! I hope they beat the you know what out of him in jail.... see how he likes it!
What kind of mental illness would cause someone to beat a defenseless creature of God? If not a mental illness, then what-an evil doer who will someday be held accountable? Until then, stiffer punishments and fines & they must never be allowed to have any kind of animal.
The consequences need to be stronger for animal abuse and they should have to register as an animal abuser and not be allowed to own another animal!
Good job ASPCA :)) keep up the great work that you do.
Back up your outrage with some $$$ it doesn't have to be alot. $10 a month auto pay from you checking account. I do that because i cant do what ASPCA can do
what a shame.. pick someone your size idiot!
This is really shocking. That's gotta be the cutest dog I've ever seen. How can that idiot abuse him like this? Guess he was drunk
I have been trying to find Bentley again on the site and now I have. I wanted to speak to someone regarding adopting him. Can someone please contact me 845-504-5752

bump, as thread copied from BN Plus forum kept old date
Here's the first thing to come out of "Basenotes Labs". Well, I'm trying to make it sound exciting - but in reality, I was bored of answering emails and spend a few hours coding this evening. There's no lab. I don't even own a white coat.
One thing I've been wanting to finish off for ages it the Wardrobe Feature. It's usable, but not how I wanted it. A feature I wanted to add for ages was a 'Scent of the Day button'. The idea would be that you would press the Scent of the Day button, on the fragrances page - and it would record if for you. I know there are many of you that keep record of what they wear, and this would make it easier - plus give you the option to make graphs and charts etc.
That was the original idea I had a few years ago. Recently, for Plus Members, I implemented the first part - a Scent of the Day button. Now I'm rolling it out to all
All it does at the moment is record it and publish it to a 'live feed'.
So Questions....
How do I use it?
Find the fragrance you are wearing at the moment in the directory and hit the Post as My Scent of the Day button (it's the one below the post as my scent of the day to twitter/facebook links).
Where can I see everyone's scents of the day?
At the moment, you can go here: http://www.basenotes.net/bn_todaysscent.php
What's on the to do list?
Lots! This is very early days.
- Change the Post as My Scent of the Day button, to something else when a scent is chosen as a SOTD
Allow SOTDs to be deleted in case they were accidentally added
- Autopublish SOTDs to Twitter / Facebook et al
- Ability to add that Scent of the Day you forgot to add last Thursday
- Ability to make your SOTDs private or only viewable to logged in members or people on your friends list
- Add an image of the SOTD in the live feed
Easily view all your previous SOTDs
- Show your SOTD in the 'postbit' on the forums
Ability to add a comment to the SOTD (so you can say something about it) Paginate SOTDs on the feedpage (at the moment it will go on indefinitely- I've not paginated it, but just fixed it to show scents in the last 24 hours, which I think most people are interested in. Will add ability to look at historic stuff at a later date Show stats on the feed page - top fragrances this week etc
- integrate this into wardrobes and directory
- oh, lots more stuff i'm sure
Any ideas you have will be gratefully heard!

Simply brilliant!
As for suggestions, I think it would be useful to see actual dates there if it's more than '3 days ago', especially when the list grows
Cool! I just posted mine. How do I navigate back to that SOTD page?
Has everyone checked out my Top 100 Blog??
tried to post my sotd as Creed REL but it didn't work. Just took me to the page and showed what I posted last time
"Dont try to be original. Be simple. Be good technically, and if there is something in you, it will come out. - Henri Matisse.
"Wear R de Capucci" - Hirch Duckfinder
looks like I broke it. lets see...
fixed now!
Awesome! Thanks, Grant!
Great feature, Grant! BTW, if I post an SotD not listed in my Tried list, would it be automatically added?
Last edited by Unregistered; 13th December 2014 at 02:35 PM. Reason: uVTFpXQgFqZUZxYSMJ
1. Now shows default avatars where the user does not have one.
2. Now shows all fragrances worn in the last 24 hours (it was once showing the last 100)
Top fragrances this week
Top fragrance worn by you (if logged in)
Grant, what if we'd like to post an SotD not yet listed in the directory?
The most recent 6 sotds now feature on the front page
Nice! So easy to do and I get a reminder of the notes for the scent. Thanks.
"Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, and today is a gift;
that's why they call it the present."
This is a great feature, thanks for creating it, Grant! Cheers!
"Wovon man nicht lesen kann, darüber muss man schreiben."
First: I love this feature!
There seems to be a bug in the "Your top five" list, nothing with a smaller number of wears than Acqua di Selva by Visconti di Modrone will show up in the list. so if AdS is my number two most worn, there will only be two items in the top five list. Is there anything special with the Acqua di Selva that could cause this strange behaviour of the list? The length of the name?

I love cologne.
Will there ever be an "other" option, for when we are wearing one that isn't in the directory, or just oil or something?
One man's conspiracy is another man's business plan
I just want to say that I love this new feature, as well, thank you so much, Grant! The Popular With the Ladies/Men is fun; I can't wait to watch it develop!
I'm having trouble staying logged in while I navigate the site. If I go to the directory or to my wardrobe, it says I need to sign in. When I sign in, it takes me back to the home page and then logs me out when I try to go to the directory or wardrobe again. It may be a problem with my phone (I use the internet browser on it), but it worked until a few days ago.
Where did it go?
Found it!
The page shown after clicking the Post SotD button may give the impression that it's not yet posted. Some people have posted the same SotD thrice within 5 minutes. Maybe a minimum time between a member's SotD posts could help avoiding such repetitions.
Just about SOTD... My "Top 5" is only a "Top 2" right now. A few months ago it randomly went from the normal 5, to 4, to 3, now its at 2. I'm not sure if this is just me or everyone
Sorry Grant but I get this on trying to post my SOTD:
Warning: unlink(/home/basenot2/public_html/ca/sotdside.php) [function.unlink]: No such file or directory in /home/basenot2/public_html/bn-inc/functions.php on line 38

Hopefully it'll mean something to you!

Grant, I posted Les Nuits d'Hadrien as SotD and it showed as Les Nuits d\'Hadrien in the Today's Frae.grances pag

It is known that there are an infinite number of worlds, simply because there is an infinite amount of space for them to be in. However, not every one of them is inhabited. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the Universe can be said to be zero. From this it follows that the population of the whole Universe is also zero, and that any people you may meet from time to time are merely products of a deranged imagination.
Douglas Adams
I used it for the 1st time today.
Thanks Grant!
This site just gets better and better! Thanks for all your hard work and innovative thinking Grant!
This may have been brought up but I've been noticing it. There's a backslash symbol appearing before all apostrophes in names like in L'Artisan (it appears as L\'Artisan).
Receiving an error when trying to post to Twitter:
Invalid Unicode value in one or more parameters /home?status=SOTD:Crown%20Foug%E8re%20by%20Crown%20 Perfumery%20http://prf.me/fjun0
It appears that Twitter doesn't like the - è - when i changed it to an - e - it posted. :-/
I can no longer find the link to post my SotD on Facebook. Am I just blind to something tonight?
Eddie: Sweetie, what are you drinking?
Patsy: Oh, this? Chanel No. 5.
-- Absolutely Fabulous
You guys gonna kill me, but I have no idea where to ask this: I can't find the wardrobe "settings" button option, that allows us to type notes, that will appear at the top of wardrobe before the listed fragrances. Will this "setting" function be available again?
Edit: Oops I was playing around with the wardrobe and found a link that addressed the issue.
Any clue when this may be functional again?
Sorry for derailing and many thanks.

Two steps forward. One step back.
Fantastic feature, thanks Grant!
My only ask is if you could make it put a space between the colon after SOTD: when you post to Twitter. At the moment, it just goes like SOTD:Mitsouko which kinda ruins search functionality on Twitter. Hopefully just a simple fix for you.
Also, is there any way in future of being able to type something like @NonScents into a forum, and then that becomes a clickable link to that person's profile, and you could also perhaps find all references like that to that person in forums? They have this functionality on facebook, and of course twitter.
But SOTD is great, thanks again!
"Plastic people look the same" - Ray Davies
I like this. I think it should get more hype and publicity, though.
Neat feature! I especially like the "post to Twitter" ability. However, when I did that, it seems that the "&" in "Czech & Speake" broke, because my tweet came out as "SOTD:No. 88 by Czech" only. I would also like to note that there is a fairly popular acronym for "Shave of the day" on Twitter, so maybe FOTD (Frag of the day) may be a different option.
Cheers all!
Hey Grant! Love all the amazing changes! Just wanted to let you know that posting "Vintage Tabarome" as an SOTD comes up blank. Also blank in my top five. Thanks!!
& works fine now. Thanks for the turnaround! This is a nifty feature.
I noticed that I only have one scent in my top 5. Can I get all five of them back? Many many thanks.
That's always been the case for me... just one scent in the top 5.
Small bug, but I keep getting a "Warning: unlink(/home/basenot2/public_html/ca/sotdside.php) [function.unlink]: No such file or directory in /home/basenot2/public_html/bn-inc/functions.php on line 58" error message whenever I use this feature.
It counts my SOTD, but it redirects me to this error page every time. I'm using Firefox 3.6 on Windows XP.
Thank you for the cool "Post as your Scent of the Day" feature. One of my NY resolutions was to keep track of what i've worn each day this year, and this feature makes it so easy. I love it! Your hard work is appreciated!
If Mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy.
Are there more people using this over time? I'm making a point of entering everything I can because it creates usable info out the other end, but there seem to be a lot of posts the the SotD thread as well.
I'm wondering is some extra features would be useful, like "pick me a frag I've rated at least three stars but haven't worn for a month", or "something really old that I've never worn or never rated", or "Nothing with one star" - that sort of thing. Kind of like the random frag link but with dials. The way itunes makes active playlists might be a good interface... you just add in the queries you want and run it.
Also, a way to toggle between "worn xx weeks ago" and the exact date worn would be nice, especially when someone asks "what were you wearing Friday before last"? I often have NFI
Thanks for the feature anyway Grant - I get a lot of use out of it.

Could it be possible to see what the most worn scent of the day was? Have a top 5 ranking of the most used scents of the day.
Scent of the day isn't working for me since the hack.

Cindy Chmielewski - Patient/Caregiver Scholarship 2014
Life is not about the steps you've taken, or the places you've been, it's about the footprints you leave behind. My name is Cindy AKA @MyelomaTeacher and I hope the digital footprints I leave behind help a future generation of myeloma warriors become empowered patients. July 14, 2014 was my 6 year Cancerversary.
I have grown tremendously as a person over these six years. Six years ago I was an uneducated/uninvolved patient who blindly followed doctor's orders. I didn't ask questions, research my conditions or seek second opinions. Today I am an empowered patient and an active participant in my healthcare. I attribute social media as being a major impetus for my metamorphosis. I learned through listservs, blogs, Facebook, forums, teleconferences and Twitter.
I was diagnosed with myeloma after being misdiagnosed with degenerative disc disease for two years. My orthopedic doctor prescribed pain medications and countless sessions of physical therapy to help with the debilitating pain I was experiencing, but I wasn't getting better. I was getting worse. I remember thinking "Maybe my doctor should take an x-ray" (which he never did in the two years I was seeing him), but I didn't speak up. I didn't trust my instincts.
By the time I was diagnosed with myeloma my bones were a mess. I had compression fractures, suffered from osteoporosis and I had loss over 3 inches in height. I started treatment immediately (without asking questions), but unfortunately I stopped responding to induction therapy after 4 cycles. I proceeded to have a stem cell transplant upon my myeloma specialist's recommendation. My transplant failed to put me into remission and 100 days post-transplant I was back in treatment. By then I was actively researching protocols available to me, seeking second opinions and learning about clinical trials. Social media was my teacher.
I am now in l remission on continuous maintenance therapy and very active in the myeloma community. Being an educator my entire life it is only fitting that I use my passion for teaching to share what I have learned and continue to learn about the importance of patient empowerment, available resources, advocacy and research to a new group of students –patients, caregivers, doctors and anyone who will listen.
My classroom is the internet. @MyelomaTeacher is my personal Twitter handle http://www.twitter.com/myelomateacher. I have over 2100 followers and Tweet daily. I also tweet from the International Myeloma Foundation's @IMFAdvocacy twitter account http://www.twitter.com/imfadvocacy. Along with Dr. Thompson I organized the first #MMSM TweetChat and manage @MMSMChats Twitter account. I am an administrator of the Philadelphia Multiple Myeloma Networking Group's Facebook page http://www.Facebook.com/PMMNG and website http://www.philadelphia.myeloma.org. Using Pinterest I created a series of Myeloma specific boards. http://www.pinterest.com/cynthiachmielew/ I am also a regular panelist on Myeloma CurePanel a talk show that features medical experts in conversation with a panel of patients about treatments under development. http://www.blogtalkradio.com/search?q=myeloma
I hope to bring the patient's perspective/voice to the Social Media Week at Mayo Clinic and learn how to be more effective and reach a broader audience.

Gladiolus rust (GR), a plant disease of quarantine significance, was detected and confirmed for the first time in the United States in April 2006 on a gladiolus production farm in Manatee County, FL. The disease was later found on another commercial gladiolus farm in Hendry County, FL. In May 2006, GR was detected at one commercial and three residential sites in San Diego County, CA, just north of the Mexican border. State and Federal officials destroyed the infected plants and placed stop sale notices on the facilities.
The Center for Plant Health Science and Technology—part of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS)—organized a technical committee to devise appropriate eradication techniques specific to the infested areas of Florida and California. Although the specific source of the 2006 infections is not known, in recent years, GR has been intercepted many times on cut gladiolus flowers entering the country as commercial shipments and/or in passenger baggage from Mexico, Brazil, and other countries.

Elbridge 'Featherweight'
Courtesy of the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village
In 1909, G. E. DeLong, Chief Engineer of the Elbridge Engine Company of Rochester, N. Y., redesigned their line of excellent two-cycle marine engines for aircraft. Named "Featherweight" to target aircraft builders, the Eldridge engines featured a modular construction that allowed them to be built in three, four and six vertical cylinder versions.
The reasonably priced Elbridge engines were extensively used by amateur aviators and were unique in having an unlimited warranty on manufacturing defects. This engine powered Clyde Cessna's first plane, the Silverwing.
This engine is located in the Civilian Hanger near the Aviation Pioneers exhibit.

The lawsuit is over, but don't expect to see Jon Gosselin back on TLC.
RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively that despite settling its lawsuit with Jon Gosselin, TLC does not want him back on the air.
PHOTOS: Kate Gosselin & Her Bodyguard In New York
TLC's parent company sued Jon for breaching his contract and won a preliminary injunction against him late last year. The trial was scheduled to begin in April.
But the two sides announced their settlement Wednesday, without revealing details.
PHOTOS: Watch Out! Jon Has A Gun
And sources tell RadarOnline.com exclusively that while the issue of whether or not to bring back Jon & Kate Plus 8 has been discussed internally at TLC, one thing everyone at the network agrees on is they don't want Jon back.
And he won't be back.
PHOTOS: Kate Takes The Kids To The Park
"TLC is done with Jon. They have him under contract still, but they don't plan to use him," one TV source told RadarOnline.com.
As for Jon & Kate Plus 8, the big question is will the show return.
"The show could come back as a series of specials," the TV source told RadarOnline.com. "It made the network a lot of money."
Despite the financial muscle of Jon & Kate Plus 8, TLC has no plans to bring the show back right now, RadarOnline.com has learned.
PHOTOS: Jon Reunites With Kate's Estranged Brother
The network is focusing on Kate Gosselin's new show.
So for Jon the end of his lawsuit also is the end of his TLC career.

For many people, their first introduction to the Song of Amergin came through Robert Graves' The White Goddess. Graves states that, "English poetic education should, really, begin not with Canterbury Tales, not with the Odyssey, not even with Genesis, but with the Song of Amergin."
However, despite this apparently reverential beginning; Graves does not actually put forward the Song of Amergin as we have it; rather he begins by utterly changing this ancient poem to better fit his own pet theory, connecting the lines from this poem to the Ogham alphabet and the "months" of the year. This creates a vague pattern, unprecedented in either nature or the Gaelic source culture he purports to respect.
Graves provides neither the original Irish poem, nor anyone else's English translation. Instead he just sets off on his own imaginative journey. Continue reading

Results vs. Limestone (2007-03-06 14:30:00)
March 6, 2007
|#38 Limestone Topples Pfeiffer 9-0
|Wednesday, 07 March 2007
|Misenheimer, NC---Pfeiffer University women's tennis team suffered their first loss of the season at the hands of Limestone College, the #38 nationally ranked team in NCAA Division II. Limestone swept all 3 doubles and then continued their roll right through the singles lineup. Patty Dominguez won her first set against Alex Glade but could not take the next 2 sets. Juliana Reyes played the best set of her career against Lee Cribb but lost 5-7 and then lost the second set. Samantha Thomas also played a great match but could not overtake Nicole Piazza.
A four game road trip through SC, GA., and Florida will pit the Falcons against 3 more nationally ranked teams as well as one Div. I team during spring break. They will leave Friday to take on #29 USC-Aiken, #26 Augusta State, #36 University of Tampa, and the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay. Coach Mary Ann Sunbury says "We're looking forward to the challenge of some very good competition which should help us later in conference play. We found out how good Limestone is and now these teams will help us develop even more." Pfeiffer is now 7-1 overall and 2-1 in the CVAC.

In a universe as vast as it is mysterious, a small but powerful force has existed for centuries. Protectors of peace and justice, they are called the Green Lantern Corps. A brotherhood of warriors sworn to keep intergalactic order, each Green Lantern wears a ring that grants him superpowers. But when a new enemy called Parallax threatens to destroy the balance of power in the Universe, their fate and the fate of Earth lie in the hands of their newest recruit, the first human ever selected: Hal Jordan (Ryan Reynolds). Hal is a gifted and cocky test pilot, but the Green Lanterns have little respect for humans, who have never harnessed the infinite powers of the ring before. But Hal is clearly the missing piece to the puzzle, and along with his determination and willpower, he has one thing no member of the Corps has ever had: humanity. With the encouragement of fellow pilot and childhood sweetheart Carol Ferris (Blake Lively), if Hal can quickly master his new powers and find the courage to overcome his fears, he may prove to be not only the key to defeating Parallax...he will become the greatest Green Lantern of all.

My favorites as far as design are the Legion posters. As to which creates the most excitement, it is far and away the Mr Potato Head. TS 1 and 2 are legendary, and I can't Wat for 3.
I'd say the Daybreakers one and the Edge of Darkness ones looked pretty good.
What?? Go back to last week's poster thread, I said they should have Mr. Potato Head with the 3 in place of a nose or ear or something! They must have stolen my idea! (not that they could have thought of the same thing themselves or anything… 😛 ) lol
re: Did You Hear About the Morgans?
Um, does Screenrant cover those types of movies???
re: Legion
Throw them into what?? into what????? The suspense is killing me!! lol, just kidding… 😛
*flips page*
Oh, the furnace of fire… nevermind… 😀
That Lucas Black guy is holding that handgun correctly, I'm shocked! And the chick actually has her finger off the trigger… could it be? They have a REAL firearms guy to show them what to do?? Nah….
re: the canyon
LOL, looks like a b-horror movie, lol
re: The descent 2 jap poster
So… does Descent 2 actually have little children in it or is that just the Japanese trying to make it seem like it does since it seems to me that Japanese people are afraid of children since every one of their horror movies is of "scary" children…
re: Law Abiding Citizen
Interested in the movie, but those posters don't look that great…
re: Daybreakers
I'm so sick of even seeing adverts for vampire movies, much less actually watching a vampire movie, but this one actually seems somewhat interesting, because it doesn't seem to romanticize it or make it seem "cool" for the goth kids or anything, they make them… well… normal…
re: Harry Brown
just what we need, another people with accents exchanging witty banter movie…
re: burning bright
Really? They can make an entire movie out of that??
re: Sherwood Horror
LMAO!! That's awesome…ly stupid!! 😀
re: The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus
I'll watch it only if we get to see more of her in the movie… lol
re: Dear John
"best-selling author of The Notebook." Basically, this is a chick flick all of us guys will have our man-cards revoked if we watch it without a chick right?
re: Edge of Darkness
Trailer looks good, gonna keep an eye on this one…
re: The Spy Next Door
Hm, I'm disappointed that Jackie Chan will be doing such a violent adult movie like this… 😛
LOL, ok, but seriously, looks horrible…
I think out of all of those, Toy Story 3 has me most excited, and Edge of Darkness is one I'm eager to see too.
Wasn't Burning Bright supposed to come out this year? I was really looking forward to that one.
im dig'in the Legion Posters and the DayBrakers one .
love the concept of vamps baing the prominant species.
great post Rob !
well done sir !
Daybreakers looks great!
(Too bad the trailer for Legion doesn't look as good as the posters)
Don't get me wrong, I think it's cool, just have to comment how some stick out more than others, lol.
saw 6 coming soon yeah! can't wait.
did any else notice that HEATH LEDGER si in the immaginarium of dr.pannasus?!

My colleague Jim Kim has launched a social media campaign on what it will take to end global poverty (please send your solutions via twitter to #ittakes.) I was reminded of a blog post I did about four years ago entitled "Ending poverty in Africa and elsewhere".
My answer then and now is: Overcome government failure. By "government failure," I don't mean that governments are evil or even that they are incompetent or ill-intentioned. Analogous to "market failure," government failure refers to a situation where the particular incentives in government lead to a situation that is worse than what was intended with the intervention.
For instance, governments finance and provide primary education so that poor children can have access to learning. But if teachers are paid regardless of whether they show up for work, and politicians rely on teachers to run their political campaigns, the result is absentee teachers and poor children who don't know how to read or write—precisely the opposite of what was intended. We see similar government failures in health care, water supply, sanitation, electricity, transport, labor markets and trade policy.
Why do I say the problem is government failure, and not, say, lack of education or health or infrastructure? We have known for some time that education, health and infrastructure are important for escaping poverty. The question is: why has there not been more education and health and infrastructure for poor people? The answer is not simply a lack of money. The problem is that much of the money spent on these sectors is captured by powerful elites before it reaches the poor. In Chad, this is literally the case: only one percent of the nonwage public spending on health actually reaches the clinics. In other cases, it's more nuanced, such as the teacher (and doctor) absenteeism mentioned above, or when trucking monopolies keep transport prices so high that African exports are uncompetitive in world markets. In short, while education, health and infrastructure—among other things—are important, to get spending on these sectors to benefit the poor, we need to overcome government failure.
Overcoming government failure is difficult. These failures are the result of the interests of some powerful groups in society—including government officials and politicians—who will resist attempts at reform. What can be done? Pouring money into a leaky bucket will not solve the problem. And asking governments to reform—even if the request comes with the implicit threat of a cutoff in funds (sometimes referred to as "conditionality")—is unlikely to work if the government itself is captured by the special interests. Perhaps the most productive action is to reach the people who are losing out—the poor—and empower them with information—about teacher and doctor absence rates, the incidence of energy and water subsidies, the costs of labor regulations and protective import tariffs—so that they can bring pressure to bear on politicians. Politicians can ignore technical advisers and external actors, but they can't afford to ignore the citizens of their country.
To be sure, empowering poor people with information is not easy. First, many work 15-hour days just to make ends meet. Expecting them to attend village meetings or read the newspaper or listen to the radio is not straightforward.
Secondly, information by itself may not be enough to empower poor people. They need mechanisms to hold politicians accountable. And third, governments may not welcome these efforts at making evidence available to the public; some will consider it incendiary, and attempt to block it.
But if we agree that overcoming government failures is key to ending poverty in Africa, we need to promote poor people's access to information. Today's technology helps. The fact that one in two Africans has access to a cellphone has made it easier to reach them—and for them to reach politicians. In a sense, then, Jim's social media campaign—and other open knowledge initiatives—are more than just ways of eliciting ideas about ending poverty: they are potential instruments to end poverty

Where Asbestos May Lurk
Many products made before the 1970s contain asbestos, including:
- insulation, particularly around pipes and ducts
- Shingles and siding
- Textured paint and joint spackle
- Fireproof fabrics on ironing boards, gloves, hot pads, etc.
- Rubber or vinyl floor tiles and backing
- Stove door gaskets
- Soundproofing foam
The mostly likely and most dangerous asbestos product in your home is insulation. If your insulation was installed between 1930 and 1950, have it tested for asbestos. Don't touch or disturb the asbestos. Have a professional sample the material and send it to a testing facility. A federal list of accredited asbestos laboratories is available at 301-975-4016 or here. This is particularly recommended before putting an older home on the market. A home inspector or buyer could suspect asbestos and want a certified bill of asbestos-free health to allay their concerns.

Centennial Campaign Public Phase LaunchesPosted Aug. 24, 2009
Kent State is launching the public phase of a $250 million fundraising campaign, the largest in the university's history.
The Centennial Campaign, timed around the university's anniversary celebration in 2010 of its first 100 years, has a goal of raising funds in three areas: $100 million in current-operating funds (near-term programs), $75 million for the institution's endowment and $75 million for capital projects (buildings and other physical spaces).
"Our initial feasibility study told us we could raise $200 million," says Eugene J. Finn, vice president for institutional advancement. "But the response and enthusiasm we've already received from supporters across the country ensures we will be able to soar beyond even our increased goal of $250 million."
During the silent phase of the campaign, supporters have committed more than $162.2 million, or nearly two-thirds of the goal, to a variety of projects. Within that total are 347 new endowed funds, including 283 endowed student scholarship funds -- a major focus of the fundraising effort.
"The hallmark of our guiding excellence agenda is a focus on student success," President Lester A. Lefton says. "We know that financial barriers are the biggest obstacle to achieving a degree, so our message to supporters has been: Help us open doors by providing more private scholarships. And the response is nothing short of remarkable."
New scholarships raised as part of the Centennial Campaign include the university's first talent-based award; numerous Founders Scholarships, the university's highest merit-based grants; scholarships that increase diversity through funding for underrepresented students; and support for study-abroad semesters.
Among the many commitments to the campaign are the university's three largest gifts in its history: the contribution of the Draime Estate Gardens as an educational and interdisciplinary site and an endowment to support them, from alumna Cil Draime, '58, and her late husband, Max, '59; the biggest capital gift from alumna Roe Green, M.A. '80, for the Roe Green Center for the School of Theatre and Dance, a collaborative performing-arts facility; and the largest gift-in-kind, $13.5 million in experiential-learning software licenses from Appropriate Technology, a regional software and hardware company.
Kent State's eight campuses also are being transformed by the Centennial Campaign. Capital projects completed or underway include Franklin Hall, the newly renovated home of the School of Journalism and Mass Communication that's been called the best facility of its kind in the country; the state-of-the-art Robert S. Morrison Health and Science Building on the Ashtabula Campus; the Olga A. Mural Nursing Simulation Laboratory; and the John S. Brinzo Entrepreneurial Laboratory in the College of Business Administration.
Major contributions also have supported WKSU-FM, the university's National Public Radio affiliate, as well as the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics, where the new Schoonover Stadium is a fitting home to the Golden Flashes baseball team, the 2009 Mid-American Conference tournament champions.
"The Centennial Campaign is comprehensive both in its scope and in the opportunities to participate," says campaign Chairman Ron Pizzuti, a 1962 alumnus and Columbus real estate developer. "Alumni, friends, faculty, staff, foundations and corporations are contributing at the level they're capable and to the programs that inspire them. These gifts are becoming their legacy for the next 100 years of Kent State."
Pizzuti's gift to the campaign will be directed toward projects that increase town-gown collaboration between the city of Kent and the university.
Last month, the university announced supporters had committed more than $37 million in the fiscal year ending June 30, shattering the institution's previous record by nearly $9 million. That earlier record also was set as part of the campaign in 2008.
The public phase of the Centennial Campaign will be celebrated with a Kent Campus event on Oct. 8, 2009.
