Rocky Patel Announces New Nicaraguan Edge
G. Clay Whittaker
Posted: May 22, 2012
Rocky Patel Premium Cigars has a major release coming to smoke shops this summer, and one of the company's new limited-edition cigars will soon be made available to the public.
Company executive Nish Patel spoke about the Nicaraguan version of The Edge, a cigar being made at the Tavicusa factory in Estelí, Nicaragua. He explained how the new smoke will be rolled differently than the original Edge, but with the taste of early Edge cigars.
The Edge is Rocky Patel's biggest seller. Originally released in 2004, Edge is rolled at the El Parasio Factory in Honduras. The cigars debuted without bands and came in crates of 100, but the naked presentation made them easier to counterfeit, said Patel, so the cigar was later given a foot band. The Honduran-made Edge comes in four varieties: Corojo, Maduro, Light and Sumatra.
Like the regular Edge, the Nicaraguan Edge will be rolled with Nicaraguan binder and filler leaf. But Patel says it will be a stronger smoke. "We wanted to change up the flavor profile. We want it to be complex and smooth, but with tons of flavor," said Patel.
In addition to the new version of The Edge, Patel told Cigar Aficionado that another of the company's lines will be expanding in distribution. For more on this, see today's Cigar Insider.

[VIDEO] RSA ANIMATE: Professor Philip Zimbardo lectures on how perspectives of time affect our work, health and well-being. Time influences who we are as a person, how we view relationships and how we act in the world. Present oriented, past oriented, future oriented perspectives.
This lecture was given at the Royal Society of Arts in London (The RSA) and was commissioned by them as part of their "RSAnimation" series of videos.
Dr. Philip George Zimbardo (born March 23, 1933) is an American psychologist and a professor emeritus at Stanford University. He is president of the Heroic Imagination Project. He is known for his Stanford prison study, and authorship of various introductory psychology books and textbooks for college students, including The Lucifer Effect and The Time Paradox.
Zimbardo was born in New York City on March 23, 1933 from a family of Sicilian immigrants. He completed his BA with a triple major in psychology, sociology, andanthropology from Brooklyn College in 1954, where he graduated summa cum laude. He completed his M.S. (1955) and Ph.D (1959) in psychology from Yale University. He taught at Yale from 1959 to 1960. From 1960 to 1967, he was a professor of psychology at New York University. From 1967 to 1968, he taught at Columbia University. He joined the faculty at Stanford University in 1968.

Courage through cancer: Ready for the next big thing
Self-described 'goofball' doesn't let brain tumor get him down
• • •
After getting his graduate degree at the University of Michigan-Flint, Galvez moved to San Diego.
"I'll be honest, it was a girl," he says with a laugh. "Didn't work out."
Yet he landed a job as a physical therapist at Sharp Grossmont Hospital in La Mesa and fell in love with his new home.
Almost two years after arriving, he got what he thought was an ear infection. At first, he heard ringing in his ear and had problems with his balance. Then came some facial numbness. He would bite his tongue and not feel it.
"This is kind of a stupid story, but I have this game with my younger brother where we slapped each other in the face, and it didn't hurt once," he says. "I didn't think anything of it, but once I started biting my tongue and just adding up all the symptoms, that's when I went to go get things checked out."
An MRI revealed the tumor, and Galvez says he was shaken.
"I honestly freaked out because I didn't know anyone who had a brain tumor or brain cancer," he says. "The only people you hear about with those kind of diseases, they end up passing away. So it really scared me."
But after his initial terror, Galvez calmed down. He remembers thinking: "I'm just going to move on and do what I've got to do. We'll deal with everything as it comes."
What came next was almost eight hours of surgery to remove the tumor, 10 days in intensive care, six weeks of radiation, a two-month hospital stay and two years of rehabilitation at the very facility where he had worked.
It was strange being a patient where he had once helped others, but it was comforting, too.
"I felt safe because I knew the protocols and the people," he says.
After two years, his insurance stopped covering his therapy at the facility, but he was able to get physical therapy at the nonprofit Challenge Center in La Mesa. Now, he's in charge of his own daily program, and starts every other day with exercises, including time on a stationary bike (he's up to 38 minutes) and pull-ups.
His days are full. Most mornings he goes to a co-working space in University Heights called 3rd Space to do his nonprofit work, but he has to limit himself to just four or five hours because he tires.
"In a way, it's kind of good, because I'm kind of a workaholic," he says, smiling.
After a nap, he often works some more before sometimes getting together with friends for dinner or to watch sports — especially if Michigan is on TV.
• • •
Galvez's goal now is to help others who are going through what he experienced. Though Galvez didn't have cancer — it was a mass that wasn't going to spread — he's an advocate for people battling tumors and cancer.
"I want to prove to people that there can be life after cancer," he says.

|4 - 7 nights
Coral Sands Beach House is a beautiful 3 bedroom, 2 bath home directly on a secluded ocean beach on Green Turtle Cay. The house also offers a one bedroom studio apartment on the ground floor which is available to rent as an optional 4th bedroom and 3rd bathroom. The studio will not be rented separately.
There are two master bedrooms with views of the ocean, both have king beds and the third bedroom is furnished with twin beds (with an option to convert to a king). The great room is furnished with a queen pull out sofa. The house is designed with a complete modern kitchen, washer and dryer, satellite TV with a DVD player, wi-fi, and more.
The great room has two double French doors that are 8 feet high opening onto the front porch providing a breathtaking view of the beach and ocean. In addition, there are two double French doors on each side of the great room which open onto the screened side porches; this provides a panoramic view of the ocean from three sides.
We are John and Sheila Nasta. We both grew up in Miami and Fort Lauderdale and came to love the ocean. Although we have travelled to many different states and countries the love of the ocean always drew us home. In 1984 we first came to Green Turtle Cay and immediately fell in love with the island. The tropical setting is paradise and the people welcomed us as if we lived there all our lives. The seeds of the Coral Sands Beach House were planted.
John Nasta purchased this house in 2008
The location of our house is on a protected cove on the ocean with a mile long beach directly out in front of the house. Even when the ocean is rough you can always enjoy the gin clear waters right off our beach. A beautiful coral reef lies out in front of the house and provides endless afternoons of snorkeling with the colorful tropical fish. The house is in a secluded area yet also convenient to the town of New Plymouth where restaurants, shops, bars, museums, and grocery stores are all available.
We rented the 3 bed 2 bath top section of the house for two couples in late May 2009 and it was perfect. Everything as described and the owner was especially friendly and helpful. We came from Jupiter Florida with both couples taking their own boat and the marina services recommended were great as were the cart rental people and the property manager. We had been to GTC for a week once before and it was wonderful also but the Coral Sands House was the best because of its location, layout, amenities and helpful owner. We could have easily taken more people and still had the right mix of private and common space. We intend to repeat our visits to GTC and will specifically select the Coral Sands House. The house is centrally located, a short cart ride to anything on GTC. The beach is basically right out in the backyard and has both nice sandy areas and some areas with rock formations for snorkling.The view of the water is excellent from the large porch area and the kitchen and BBQ capabilities are also if you feel like eating in. Our interest was boating, fishing, island hopping and just relaxing with friends and this was the perfect place for all of that and more. We would certainly recommend GTC and the Coral Sands House.
John was a pleasure to deal with and his home is wonderfully located and kept.
The beach in front of the house is perfect for swimming and snorkeling and the people on the island are amazing!
A great trip and would definitely return. Our only difficulty was getting home due to airline delays. Strong suggestion if you have to connect anywhere, is to book with a long layover between flights as the Bahama airlines are notoriously delayed.
We have travelled extensively, and have not come across beaches as beautiful as the ones on this island!!
Our extended family enjoyed a very memorable week at Coral Sands over New Years 14-15. We rented the entire house, and my husband and I had all the privacy we could ask for downstairs, while the twenty-somethings slept in the very well appointed two master suites and the twin bedroom on the main level.
The house is very well maintained, clean, and best of all, has breath taking views of the water on what feels like a private beach. We explored the area thoroughly, and never found a beach we preferred to the one right out our door. Great swimming, snorkeling and beach combing, and beautiful sunrises. Lots of screened and unscreened outdoor space for lounging, very complete kitchen, excellent laundry facilities, etc.
Owner John was extremely helpful as we planned our first trip to Green Turtle Cay, and he saw to it that all the logistics ran smoothly. There are just enough casual dining options in the adorable village of Plymouth, great biking and boating -- something for everyone. We also cooked at home, and Sid's stocked our house so that groceries were there when we arrived. The house had all the kitchen items that you sometimes miss in a vacation rental. We did not have young children with us, but I think Coral Sands and Green Turtle in general would be a very good option for that kind of vacation, too. The family next door was having a great time with three little ones, even though we were barely aware of them because our house was sited so we enjoyed plenty of privacy.
One last comment about Green Turtle Cay: the people are consistently welcoming and friendly. We never hesitated to ask for directions, restaurant recommendations, etc. Everyone wants you to have a good time, and you DO!
What an unforgettable vacation! My husband and I spent Christmas week at Coral Sands with my parents, brother and sis-in-law and their 2 young children, 5 and 2. It was a perfect house for us to relax, cook and have an amazing Holiday get-away! The beach is right in the front yard, literally just a few steps to the sand. We saw one family on the entire beach the entire week - that was it. It was like our own private stretch of beach. The people of GTC are wonderful! Scott and Martha at Sid's Grocery were delightful and while we thought this trip would be a one and only we'll definitely be back and Coral Sands is it for us!
This review is long overdue but I wanted to make sure I circled back around to rave about Coral Sands Beach House. We were there in August/September 2014 and I could not think of a better way to spend our family vacation. Green Turtle Cay and Coral Sands Beach House were better than we ever imagined. We were looking for a location that was calm and relaxing as well as kid friendly. We certainly found that and more.
Coral Sands is located right on the beach with a breathtaking view. We spent countless hour paddleboarding and snorkeling right in front of the house. Most days it felt like we had the beach completely to ourselves. The near constant breeze off the ocean kept made sitting on the porch and beach very comfortable even during the hottest time of the year. The house is well equipped with everything we needed to get by for the week.
We explored the island in a golf cart and found several beaches on the other side of the island where are 4 and 2 year old girls could play in knee deep calm water. We also felt safe and at home on the island. Everyone we met was very warm, helpful, and friendly.
John, the owner, was great to work with as well. We spoke numerous times prior to our arrival and he was an enormous help. He not only arranged travel logistics to and from the airport but also provide numerous recommendation on activities on and around the island. We are already thinking about a return trip in 2015.
I have been fortunate enough to have frequented various spots around the Bahamas throughout my life. Having been to Green Turtle Cay I was ecstatic about my return trip.. needless to say my expectations were high! Our arrival to Coral Sands Beach house reduced us to childlike joy as upon our arrival it was not only as outstanding as the pictures led us to believe, but better. You know those places where a camera doesn't do justice? Well this is one of those plades. Awesome open kitchen living room area with incredible view surrounded by spacious portches. The beds were super comfortable and from both master bedrooms you can literally see the ocean from your bed. Our house coupled with the exclusivity and adventures nature of the island made for an amazing trip. Snorkeling to be had right off the beach and a short ride from social scenes/activity on both sides of the island made for a perfect location. If this island doesn't enchant you with its open canvas for both land and sea bound adventure.. than certainly the friendly people of Green Turtle and the accomadating venues with their delicisous food and drink certainly will. You would think what else could you need? How about the property owners undivided attention dedicated to making sure everything goes smoothly and you are set for a great time. If that's not the icing on the cake then what is!? This was a 10 and I will return again, and again. I'd say you could reach out to me for more details, but can safely say I would not be as swift of thorough as owner himself.
Just steps from the house you will find yourself on the secluded white sand beach. The near shore coral reef, packed with tropical fish, is perfect for an afternoon of snorkeling.
Our beautiful house is just a brief one hour flight and ten minute ferry ride from South Florida. The historic Town of New Plymouth is a five minute golf cart ride from the house. Here you will find, shops, restaurants, grocery stores, museums, post office, library, and a gorgeous view of the sea of Abaco. Stroll the town day or night and in no time you will feel right at home.

Companies on MACs are takeover targets
Friday - 6/1/2012, 10:58am EDT
By Sopen Shah
Bloomberg Government
Federal contractors are continually on the hunt for new business. They get it one of several ways. They can scour agency postings, looking for new opportunities. They can prowl conferences and hallways, doing gumshoe business development.
But if a company is big enough, it can simply shortcut its way to new revenue by acquiring another company with good contracts.
A Bloomberg Government report found companies with positions on multiple award contracts are juicy takeover targets.
Sopen Shah, a Bloomberg defense analyst discussed the forthcoming report, "Potential Targets? Companies on Lucrative MACs Attract Attention" with The Federal Drive with Tom Temin and Emily Kopp.
Contractors may acquire companies on large multiple-award contracts, or MACs, which represent billions of dollars in potential government spending during the next five years. Some companies, such as General Dynamics Corp. and ManTech International Corp., rely on the federal government for more than half their revenue1 and may acquire to sustain growth in an era of declining federal budgets.
Contractors bought companies in 2011 and during the first four months of 2012 in part to gain access to or expand their presence on multiple-award contracts.2 For example, General Dynamics earned the opportunity to go after orders on the $4 billion Enterprise System Development MAC managed by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services after acquiring ViPS Inc. in 2008 and Vangent Inc. in 2011.
This Bloomberg Government Study, Part III in a series on mergers and acquisitions in the federal contracting market, examines the types of companies on multiple-award contracts that may be potential acquisition targets for large prime contractors and other companies. Multiple-award contracts included in the study have a life cycle through fiscal 2015, spending of at least $500 million in fiscal 2011 and an increase in sales from fiscal 2010 to fiscal 2011.
The study also examines data for previous acquisitions involving companies on those MACs. This sample shows purchase multiples ranging from 0.63 times to 2.18 times annual revenue.

Many people assume that because the weekly Sabbath is in the
Ten Commandments, it must therefore be a law for all times and for all people
to keep. They conclude that Christians are obligated to keep the Sabbath as "holy
We cannot make a blanket statement that the law of God or
the Ten Commandments are "done away." Two of the Commandments tell us not to
commit idolatry or to murder. These laws are not done away.
Christians are under the guidance and authority of the new
covenant, not the old covenant. This brings up an important question: What is
the relationship between the two covenants?
Editor's note: We
have two answers to this question. The short answer is first; the second answer
has additional detail.
Question: Prophecies indicate that the Sabbath and
annual festivals will be kept in God's ideal age (e.g., Isaiah 66:23; Zechariah
14:16-19). Does this prove that the Sabbath and annual festivals must be kept
by his people today?
We make the following statement about the "evolution versus creation" or "science versus the Bible" issue:
Jesus told the story of Lazarus the beggar and the rich man to illustrate a point about having an authentic relationship with God. Some believe Jesus meant the parable as a satire of the Pharisees' belief that they were in a privileged position with God. In that context, the parable would be a statement about their love of privilege and wealth.
Tragedies strike saint and sinner alike. Is God fair?
Does it matter to him?
If we believe in God, we have to wonder why he doesn't
eliminate mindless suffering from our planet. Yes, why doesn't he make this bad
world right? Why doesn't he stop the hurting?
Have you experienced pain and suffering? Then you have
shared Job's anguish and perhaps his wonderment. Like Job, you also may find
God much closer than you thought.
Have you experienced pain and suffering? Then you have
shared Job's anguish and perhaps his wonderment. Like Job, you also may find
God much closer than you thought.
An unspoken belief among many Christians is that a dedicated follower of Christ will be immune to misfortune.Tragically, the promulgators of the health, wealth and prosperity gospel misunderstand the Christian life. Faith in Jesus does not guarantee a life free of suffering.
"Do not be surprised at the painful trial you are suffering, as though something strange were happening to you," wrote Peter (1 Peter 4:12).
People sometimes ask us to explain what the Bible means when it speaks of sin. When they ask about the nature of sin and God's purpose with us, they are asking about a truly cosmic subject. In this short paper we'll discuss the biblical teaching of sin as well as what is called the atonement and spiritual regeneration, because all three are part of the story of God's purpose for us.
"THIS WEEK," reported Newsweek magazine, "more [Americans] will pray than will go to work, or exercise, or have sexual relations." So many Americans say they pray that prayer has become a news item. Newsweek even devoted a cover story to the subject: "Talking to God: An Intimate Look at the Way We

Liza Julien
Liza is a self-taught collage and mixed media artist living in Salt Lake City, Utah. Short career stints using her BS in materials engineering and MS in architectural studies proved not to be her life's work, but surprisingly informs and contributes to her art. Serious soul searching revealed that her childhood play affirmed early on her passion for envisioning renewed purpose for discarded materials.
Her work results from her lifelong fascination with the hidden beauty in materials found day to day, such as security envelopes, cardboard boxes, plastic caps/lids, junk mail, product labels, bubble wrap, barcodes, coffee cup sleeves, and magazine ads. She finds that these overlooked materials embody boundless possibilities, impart both a visual and physical "feel" to collage, and render a "patina" that connects us to our present time and sense of place. Each work provides an opportunity to communicate her love for the colors, textures, patterns, and graphic elements inherent in these short-lived castoffs. Her art strives to give them new form and context, and to express an alternative possibility of what could be. Liza exhibits in solo and group shows locally and nationally with the National Collage Society and Collage Artists of America.

News Update From Texas Children's Hospital: Baby Born With Heart Outside Body Celebrates First Birthday
Baby Audrina Cardenas who went under a 6-hour open heart surgery one year ago due to her being born with a rare condition called Ectopia Cordis, celebrated her first birthday in full color.
Houston, TX (PRWEB) October 30, 2013
One year ago today, baby Audrina Cardenas underwent a six-hour open-heart surgery where a team of heart surgeons, plastic surgeons and general surgeons put her heart back into her body. She was born with a rare condition called Ectopia Cordis where one-third of her heart was born outside of her body. Only 8 per 1 million babies are born with this rare condition and of those, 90 percent are either stillborn or die within the first three days of life.
After spending three and a half months recovering at Texas Children's Hospital under the care of the specialist intensive care team, Audrina was discharged but remained close to the hospital so she could be monitored by a team of cardiologists at Texas Children's Heart Center.
Audrina celebrated her first birthday yesterday. Her team of physicians are thrilled with the progress she has made to date. She has been able to come off all of her medications, although she has remained on oxygen. Her development is improving everyday and she is now crawling and trying to walk.
A team of surgeons is actively planning her next major surgery expected to take place in the next few months to construct a chest wall (something she was not born with) to protect her heart and to repair her cardiac defects associated with the Ectopia Cordis.
Audrina will continue to be carefully followed by a multidisciplinary team and will require specialized care by a pediatric cardiologist for the rest of her life, but her future outlook and prognosis is positive.

It does not matter what you or I or NADA think. Boats are not valued like cars and unfortunately that is how NADA tried to apply its formula. Boats are valued on, condition, market, what an buyer is willing to pay, what buyers have paid for similar models and the selling prices from soldboats.com. Some models have actually gone up in value and good brokers and surveyors, who value boats for a living, understand how to more closely asses the value of a boat than NADA..

I guess that all depends on how you define "accomplish". If you define it as putting inaccurate numbers, apparently compiled using the drunk & a dart board method, then posted on a web site that where they are often off as much as 50% from real and actual sales data then, yes, I guess they "accomplished" valuing boats..

They could have gone back to 1923 but bad data, is still bad data, and completely useless in the whole scheme of things.

Yes there is something else it is called Soldboats.com and it uses actual selling prices as reportedby brokers ans sales agents afiliated with Yachtworld.com.
As I mentioned before Soldboats.com is the ONLY close to accurate measure we have to value boats. Surveyors use it, yacht brokers use it and this is generally how values are defined, with ACTUAL selling price data, as reported by brokers. Brokers DO NOT report data to NADA so any data they post is prety much pure guess work, not accurate and basically a good way for either a seller or buyer to get screwed.

Perhaps they dropped it because they realized that they had no place guessing at this data and decided to be kind to people and stop posting bogus figures that meant squat..
If you want close to accurate values find a good broker and they will usually print you a list from soldboats.com of sold comps so you'll have a range to work with.

US aids Honduran police despite death squad fears
Assistant Secretary of State William R. Brownfield, who appeared on Monday with the country's vice president to announce the new funding, did not answer questions.
"The United States undertakes stringent vetting procedures, as required by U.S. law, to ensure U.S. assistance doesn't go to individuals or units in the Honduran police and military if there is credible information they're linked to human rights abuses," said William Ostick, a spokesperson in the Western Hemisphere Affairs Bureau of the State Department. "We're in close communication with the U.S. Congress and Senator Leahy on this issue. Promoting human rights and the rule of law is, and will remain, central to our engagement in Honduras."

- Distributed by: Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer
- Cartoon Characters: Pioneer, Newsboy, Indian Explorer, Indian Chief.
- Originally Released in 1934.

Cartoon Summary:
An old geezer- with perhaps a bit of Baron Munchausen in him- tells of his heroic exploits to a newsboy hawking papers at a cigar store, with a huge statue of a wooden Indian outside. The pioneer tells of how he defended his people while crossing the desert through Indian territory. One lone Indian scout and his horse spot the wagons at a campsite and run back to get help. All the warriors put on their warpaint (rouge, lipstick, etc.) before they attack. The pioneer helps save a juvenile Indian explorer from certain death from a fall off a cliff. He then saves his wagon train from an Indian attack because of his friendship with the Indian boy. The grateful Chief says, "Paleface my friend," and offers the pioneer a peace pipe; the latter says, "Thankee, Chief, have a smoke yourself!!" This leads to the pioneer concluding to the newsboy, "And that, my boy, is how that Injun got them purty cigars!"

The world of Howler's sophomore album
By Zach McCormick
YOU CAN TELL this is Primal Scream's political album, because all the good songs on it are instrumentals. And you can tell that it's a Primal Scream album because its best songs were crafted by other people. After all, this is a group whose greatest hit, 1991's "Loaded," was created by remixer Andrew Weatherall with almost no band input, apart from singer/mastermind Bobby Gillespie's brief "Aw, yeah" near the track's end. It's hardly a surprise, then, that XTRMNTR's highlights are "MBV Arkestra," a sheets-of-sound guitarathon overseen by Kevin Shields of My Bloody Valentine, and another remix, this time of "If They Move, Kill 'Em," originally on 1997's Vanishing Point. That dank, dubbed-out album was the Scream's best--largely because it featured less of the weak-voiced, personality-deficient Gillespie than usual.
For the most part XTRMNTR is the singer's reassertion of force, an attempt to jump on a bandwagon that peaked three years ago, alternating and fusing big-beat-by-numbers and Stooges rip-offs so blatant they could land the band on the current Sub Pop roster. But few of the grooves catch, and apparently the band's laughable 1994 Stones/Faces move, Give Out But Don't Give Up, didn't teach them that rock is not their strong suit. XTRMNTR's pumped-up overdrive sounds pushy and desperate, not urgent, and Gillespie's feeble yelp evokes Jamiroquai's Jay Kay with army fatigues and a better haircut.
And then there's the politics, so thin they make Davy Jones sound like Antonio Gramsci. "The civil disobedience," Gillespie endlessly chants on the song "Exterminator." Yeah? So what? Are we supposed to instantly flash back to...Selma? Kent State? WTO? If Gillespie really wants to "Kill All Hippies," as XTRMNTR's first cut is titled (the song sounds like a third-rate cop-show theme--must be in keeping with their new "militancy"), he'd better start making out his will. After all, what else do you call someone who proposes to bring the revolution with music this flaccid?

Our stay would have been without any faults except for one issue that I think the staff was responsible for. As we were checking out and handed over the room key, the person at reception did not give us our passports. We left without them and had to travel the whole week without them. We were traveling with a bike tour group so we were able to make due without them, but had to go out of our way upon return to fetch them. Everything else about the hotel was great aside from that one issue.

We went for a 4 day break without our children. This is a first class hotel. Great from start to finish. Excellent, helpful friendly staff. Fabulous food and a beautiful spacious room. We were even upgraded at no extra cost. We had a really good break. Location is 24km from Turin centre so best to have a car.

these guys should have their own show, car talk style! <3
hi Guys, I want to provide some input regarding the smell of gas in the woman's kitchen. IT is coming from the stove itself - I am a landlord and had a problem last year with a range from Sears where the stove was leaking a tiny amount of gas.
As you know, these new stoves/ranges are cheaply made (though not cheap in price!) and really have a lifespan of 3-4 years. Anything past 5 years has to be replaced!!
Please ask: What is a "safe" heat source to leave in a home that is unattended for a week or two at a time - i.e. not a space heater (for a cabin upstate that we have)
I have a repairperson in my house right now. They are replacing the ignitor in my broiler right now, because I was smelling gas when I was using it!
I have used cork (with a barrier) for my basement floor - it's great - warms the room and cuts down on noise
Just bought a small house and found water pooling the basement. Thinking about a sump pump, but what kind of professional can we call to find the source of the water? Engineer? Geologist?
I googled the name to, but would never call it in. Thats not the Idea.
My neighbor's living room, which has an exposed brick wall has a cinder blocked-in window shape in it, which we don't understand because his wall is adjacent to the wall of the neighboring building. It's a 100+ year old tenement style apartment building and the unit is on the 4th (top) floor. The building next door is the same era so we don't know when a window would ever have been used. The bricks that make up the opening appear to be original and frame out a window shape but then the space is filled in with more modern cinderblocks. Thoughts on what purpose this might have served?
answer to question
hand Adze
draw blade
When the super turns off the hot water to repair a leak or something, there's a HUGE amount of rust (I hope it's only rust!) in the water. We're advised that this is "normal" and we should run the water until it runs clear. Last time it took hours to clear up, and clogged the outlet (which had been running okay), causing a flood. How can this be normal? Shouldn't he be flushing the lines once a year or something? I live in a midrise, about 45 units.
My parents live on the top floor of a pre-war building in Westchester - and the pipe burst in their apartment when the heat was turned on yesterday. They now need to pull off the built-in covers around all of the heat risers in their apartment to check the valves. My question is, is there an easy solution to covering the risers for the future so there is access to the valves without having to destroy the cover?
Does my small coop building need to have the trash chutes cleaned out?
I have a 1939 log cabin in the NJ mountains. It has a stone and mortar foundation and a dirt crawl space that runs between 24-8 inches in height.
I have hardwood floors with carpets but the cold transfers up from the crawl space.
I think insulation with a moisture barrier would be almost impossible to install due to piping, forced hot air ductwork and the lack of space to work.
Any suggestions?
Thank you
I moved from a house with forced air heating into the one with steam heat.
Are there any differences on how to operate steam heat vs. forced air in order to conserve energy? I mean do I need to maintain steam in pipes so that extra energy is not spent on boiling water each time the heating runs.
We can not determine what's the source of high humidity in our house build 10 years ago on a rocky fundation.Our windows are all covered with moisture throughout winter, the humidity reaches 60 % during summer time even though we keep our AC on and a dehumidifier constantly on in the basement.The house is supposed to have french drainage.How we can determine if it has been installed during the construction.What other sources of high humidity can be taken unto consideration except the obvious ones (showering, cooking) which are definitely not a source of it.Who can help us to find out and fix this problem instead of only dealing with symptoms of it.
We have a musty smell coming out of a hole in the floor and wall where pipes are situated in our apartment. There is no visible sign of mold or leaks. And we've been in the space below our apartment and there is no smell there. Is there a way to test the air at this hole to determine if there is hidden mold? As it happens to be right where the head of our bed is....so we'd really like to get rid of it
I have a "in-law suite" attached to the back of my house, with separate electric baseboard heat.
My in-laws don't come too often so most of the time it is empty.
What temperature should I keep the rooms at to keep the water pipes in the bathroom from freezing?
Is it practical to shut off the water and drain the pipes?
(The water runs through the ceiling and down to the shower, toilet, and sink.)
My husband and I just had a new sump-pump and french drain put into our basement. Now we don't know what to do with the floors. Should we tile it, put hard wood in or maybe carpet tiles? Any advice is appreciated

If we are capable of endlessly arguing about essentially irrelevant details on topics we fundamentally agree upon, wouldn't it be logical to stop seeking total agreement?

If we want to effect social change at scale, investors need to enlist the capital markets by injecting intention and purpose into every financial decision.
Lack of values, justice and fairness between police and black Americans is the decades-long backdrop leading up to Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, Eric Garner, Tamir Rice and so many others that are part of the "Ferguson Effect" in our country.
Can we -- should we -- accept the chilling reality that, even with school-wide crisis drills, metal detectors, and other safety measures, a shooter somewhere in our own community is inevitable? Or are there other measures that, short of ensuring safety, can be helpful?
t used to be that a donor would sit down with the ministry of health to work out the design and implementation of a new global health initiative, with no significant input or involvement of other stakeholders. Those days, thankfully, are long gone.
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie finds himself at the center of a stormy scandal. But the good news is that he has a chance to rise above the storm and start talking about the importance of values.
To make progress, we have to move to broad-scale engagement. The Engagement Manifesto is a roadmap for more inclusive action. The business world is ready to make this kind of bold move to embed sustainability into the mainstream.
I advise Facebook and its partners to be transparent about the mix of motivations involved and the business gains they're hoping to achieve.
The impact of 'backcasting' is palpable and transformative. The biggest 'ah-ha' moment from immersing oneself in a future world is a striking awareness of the interdependencies of all systems.
In the past ten years, American business has been deluged with concepts emphasizing social good that range in name from cause-related marketing to sustainable value and other similar terms.
Anyone in the media, in politics or behind closed doors who refuses to respect the dignity of another ought to be called out as a bully, a narcissist, a hate-inciter or all of the above. Let's not repeat the mistake we made with Senator Joe McCarthy by calling people like this "leaders."
Whether with baseball and steroids, basketball and greed, or football and "pay-to-injure," the stakes and competition of sports have outpaced classiness, noble intentions and decorum.
How can UAE-based companies help these socially-driven entrepreneurs? Just as social entrepreneurship is expanding, a parallel trend is that of the rise of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).
The fact remains that every year, in every school, in every community, there's danger of school violence.
At this time of year, Congress, who once again didn't get their chores done, might take a cue from children who aren't messing up because they know it's better to be good and nice than to risk getting on Santa's naughty list.
By framing everything as a fight, media encourages all of us to be combative in our interactions. To gain press coverage and political advantage, candidates take the bait. The result of this downward spiral is evident in the divisive politics of today.
As we debate our nation's future, only our shared values can take us where we want to go. They have helped us to thrive as a nation, end slavery, improve civil liberties, cultivate the American Dream and become the envy of the world.
The capitalist system is under siege and a big part of the problem lies with companies themselves.
The concept of shared value is gaining increased attention within corporations - from business, CSR and philanthropic leaders - yet the challenge of pursuing it can be incredibly daunting.
If you fail to work on behalf of the public interest and take shortcuts that place the public at risk, you also will fail your shareholders.
My world is so small that I even have a hard time relating to people who don't like some of my favorite movies or TV shows. How can we be friends if we don't even laugh at the same jokes?

NEW YORK --- Record-setting Texas A&M quarterback Ryan Tannehill was the eighth overall selection of the 2012 NFL Draft on Thursday, marking the first time A&M has produced top 10 picks in consecutive years.
Tannehill, from Big Spring, Texas, was selected by the Miami Dolphins. Last year, All-American Von Miller was picked second overall by the Denver Broncos and went on to earn Defensive Rookie of the Year honors by the Associated Press.
"It was awesome. It was everything I thought it would be and more," Tannehill told ESPN's Suzy Kolber after his selection. "It was such a humbling experience and yet so exciting at the same time. To see my name on the back of a NFL jersey for an organization like the Miami Dolphins, I couldn't be more excited."
The coaching staff for the Dolphins will be familiar to Tannehill since it features three members of the Aggies' 2011 staff - former head coach Mike Sherman (offensive coordinator), Zac Taylor (assistant quarterbacks coach) and Jim Turner (offensive line). Also on the Dolphins staff is former A&M tight end standout Dan Campbell.
Tannehill is the first Aggie quarterback ever selected in the first round of the NFL Draft. The previous high for an A&M signal-caller was when Marion Pugh was selected in the second round of the 1941 NFL Draft by the Philadelphia Eagles. It was also the first time Texas A&M has had players picked in the first round of the NFL Draft in consecutive years since the early 1990s when the Aggies did it in 1992-94.
Tannehill is the only player in NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) history to throw for 4,000 yards and gain more than 1,500 receiving yards in his career. He's also the only FBS player to have single games of 400-plus passing yards and 200-plus receiving yards on his resumé.
Among the A&M passing records that Tannehill shattered during his career were single game passing yards (449 vs. Texas Tech, 2010), and single season passing yards (3,744, 2011) and completion percentage (65.0, 2010). As a receiver, Tannehill set freshman records for season catches and receiving yards (55-844 in 2008) and single game freshman records for catches and yards (12 catches for 210 yards vs. Kansas State, 2008).

On being selected by Miami.
RYAN TANNEHILL: I didn't know until I saw the Florida area code light up on my phone. That was a great moment. I'll never forget it. I answered the call and heard Jeff Ireland and the rest of the crew on the other line. I didn't know. I didn't know what to expect coming into today really. You hear the rumors but other than that I really didn't know.
Q. What do you think about being reunited with Mike Sherman and the fact that after your name was announced, you and he were No. 2 and 4 on top Twitter picks.
RYAN TANNEHILL: I have a great relationship with Coach Sherman, got to know each other real well over the past four years, and especially over the past two. So I'm excited to work with him again, not only him but the rest of the coaching staff. Coach (Joe) Philbin did a great job in Green Bay, excited to learn from him, as well.
Q. On his expectations playing for the Dolphins.
RYAN TANNEHILL: haven't told me anything so far. I'm just excited to get down to South Florida, get into the organization, get back to football, get to the playbook, get to the locker room and get to know the guys. I hear they have great players on there with a great locker room, so I'm excited to get in there and get to know everybody and then just get back to football. They have two great quarterbacks already on the rosters in Matt (Moore) and David (Garrard), and I'm excited to get to know them and get to play with them.
Q. Did it seem like a long wait today or a short wait?
RYAN TANNEHILL: I don't want to complain. It felt like a long wait just because you're sitting there and you're anxious and you're excited. But I'm thankful to get that call relatively early and be a part of the Dolphins.
Q. Are you happy that you're the third quarterback off the board and still in the top 10?
RYAN TANNEHILL: I'm just excited to go as high as I could. I'm excited to be a part of Miami. Really being third quarterback or anything, that doesn't really cross my mind. I'm excited to go in the top 10, to be a part of the Miami Dolphins.
Q. Is med school on the horizon?
RYAN TANNEHILL: Sure. I wanted to have a good backup plan, and that was going to be my backup plan, but right now I'm 100 percent focused on football and can't wait to get started.
Q. Your admission to the med school of your choice when your career is over?
RYAN TANNEHILL: I haven't applied to any so I don't know.
Q. Do you have a sense of how much Dolphins fans have longed for a franchise quarterback?
RYAN TANNEHILL: I haven't been down in Florida. I try to stay out of the media circus, so I don't. I'm just excited to get down there and start working.
Q. What part of your passing technique do you want to work on once you get to work?
RYAN TANNEHILL: I think the past few months I've been working on my footwork, just being smooth, especially throwing to my left. I think that was one thing I really focused on was using my legs, using my hips, clearing my left foot out of the way, to make accurate throws to the left. I feel like I progressed a lot during this time and feel 100 percent confident going to my left now.
Q. What do you want to accomplish coming out of training?
RYAN TANNEHILL: Want to first and foremost get down there and get to know the playbook. I think that I should have at least some background knowledge playing with Coach Sherman at A&M. I'm sure there will be some things that are different, more in depth, and I'm excited to get to know those things. I'm excited to get into the playbook, get to know the guys and just be in the locker room.
Q. Is it meaningful at all to go in the first round?
RYAN TANNEHILL: For sure. It's a true blessing. It's a humbling experience to go in the top 10. It's a dream come true.
Q. I noticed you give a big hug to Fletcher Cox. Do you think this period is like the nicest that these defensive linemen are ever going to be to you?
RYAN TANNEHILL: For sure, it's great. Just spending a couple days with some of the best players in the country, defensive and offensive players alike, we all wish the best for each other right now. I'm sure there will be some healthy competition on the field in the next few years, but right now we're just excited for each other. We're all starting a new phase of our lives, so we're excited for each other.
Q. How does your experience at wide receiver aid you on the field as a quarterback?
RYAN TANNEHILL: I can relate to receivers in a way that most other quarterbacks can't. I've been in their shoes, I've run the routes that they're running, most of them. I've seen how your routes adjust versus certain coverages, and you see what they're seeing, I guess. I think it helps relate to what they're doing and helps me put the ball in a place where I like to get it when I played receiver.
Q. Coming in did you feel like the Dolphins were the best fit for you because Sherman was there?
RYAN TANNEHILL: I really didn't know what the best fit was. I felt like the best fit was going to be wherever I got picked, because that's the team that wants me, that believes in me and thinks I'm the guy. Obviously now I think the Miami Dolphins is a great place to be, just the familiarity with Coach Sherman and his offense and a couple other coaches on the coaching staff as well as the rest of the coaching staff. Coach Philbin did a great job in Green Bay, so I'm excited to work with everyone.
Q. What do you think of the legacy that Miami has had at quarterback, Bob Griese, Dan Marino? What do you think about yourself playing quarterback for the Miami Dolphins?
RYAN TANNEHILL: I'm excited. You follow some great guys. It's definitely exciting. I don't think there's any added pressure because of that. I think that it's completely separate time periods. To be a part of an organization with a rich history and tradition, it's hard to put into words.
