Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Design, Transportation
This is the 2016 Nissan GT-R 45th Anniversary Gold Edition. No, when looking at the Premium model, the Anniversary edition isn't any faster, but like the gold Apple Watch Edition, it's much more exclusive than the standard offering. In fact, Nissan will produce just 30 of these for the US. The color is a special hue that they're calling "Silica Brass," and other details include a color-matched VIN plate, and a plaque inside the vehicle that commemorates this edition. Aside from that, you'll find all the goodness here that you find in the rest of the 2016 GT-R lineup, including all-wheel drive, build-in driving recorder, 3.8-liter 550 horsepower twin turbo V6 engine, and 11-speaker Bose audio system with noise cancellation. For for pricing, but you can be sure it'll cost $1,000 more than the $101,770 Premium edition, plus a $1,595 destination charge.
Steve Jobs refused Tim Cook's liver transplant offer
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Apple
Fast Company has an adaptation of one of the stories from Becoming Steve Jobs: The Evolution of a Reckless Upstart Into a Revolutionary Leader, which releases one week from today on March 24, which you can pre-order now. Here's a short excerpt:
"Somebody that's selfish," Cook continues, "doesn't reply like that. I mean, here's a guy, he's dying, he's very close to death because of his liver issue, and here's someone healthy offering a way out. I said, 'Steve, I'm perfectly healthy, I've been checked out. Here's the medical report. I can do this and I'm not putting myself at risk, I'll be fine.' And he doesn't think about it. It was not, 'Are you sure you want to do this?' It was not, 'I'll think about it.' It was not, 'Oh, the condition I'm in . . .' It was, 'No, I'm not doing that!' He kind of popped up in bed and said that. And this was during a time when things were just terrible. Steve only yelled at me four or five times during the 13 years I knew him, and this was one of them.
You can head on over to Fast Company to read the full story. Definitely worth your time.

Apple Watch apps that should be available at (or near) launch
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Apple, Wearables, Software
Apple published a page that shows off a bunch of third-party apps that various developers are working on for the Apple Watch.

Fitness, travel, shopping, fun, social networking, and even entertainment apps are all included on the page.
The more you wear Apple Watch, the more you'll realize just how personal a device it is. Because with so many different apps available, you can choose the ones that are most relevant to you, and create a customized experience.

DENISON, TX -- The City of Denison says they will not be doing hazardous waste collection or weekly recycling, but they will vote in a couple weeks whether to approve bi-weekly curbside recycling.
At Monday night's meeting council members decided if they do approve the plan it would be a bi-weekly pickup that would cost each customer an extra two dollars a month.
The council is set to vote on the proposal in 2 weeks.

Fitness: Making It a Habit
It's one thing to start an exercise or activity program. It's quite another to turn it into a habit so that you're staying active week in and week out. If you're having problems staying with your plan, don't worry. You're not alone.
You'll be glad to hear there are plenty of tips and tricks you can use to get yourself back on track and stay there.
If you haven't started a plan yet to get more active, it may be helpful to read:
Many of the benefits of being active, like having more energy and just feeling better, happen soon after you become more active. But some of the most important health benefits come with being active over time.
- Your reason for wanting to stay active is very important. It won't work if you're doing it because someone else—your spouse, your children, your doctor—wants you to. You have to want it.
- If you started a program to get more active but don't feel like you're making any progress, it may be time to update your goals.
- If you started a program to get more active but are having trouble keeping it going, it may help to figure out what's getting in your way. Then you can figure out how to work around those barriers.
- Keep at it, even if you slip up along the way. It can take months of repetition to form a habit, so every day is a step in the right direction.
It can be frustrating to start a new habit of activity or exercise and then have to stop because something gets in the way—illness, travel, too many other things to do, or just having a bad day. Your goal is to get back in the habit and find a way to make it a routine part of your life.
If that sounds impossible, think about a simple habit like brushing your teeth. When you were small, maybe you had trouble remembering to brush your teeth every day. Now you probably brush your teeth without thinking much about it. And even if you miss a day, you always go back to brushing your teeth the day after. It can be that way with activity or exercise when you make it a habit.
Remember that you can't create a habit overnight. Keep at it, even if you slip up along the way. It can take months of repetition to form a habit, so every day is a step in the right direction.
Here are three important steps:
- Have your own reasons for wanting to stay active.
- Set goals. Include long-term goals as well as short-term goals that you can measure easily.
- Think about what might get in your way, and prepare for slip-ups.
Test Your Knowledge
To stay physically active, you need to turn your activity into a habit.
This answer is correct.
A habit is something you do almost without thinking. When a task like brushing your teeth or taking a walk becomes a regular habit, it's much easier to keep doing it over the long term. But it takes patience and practice.
This answer is incorrect.
A habit is something you do almost without thinking. When a task like brushing your teeth or taking a walk becomes a regular habit, it's much easier to keep doing it over the long term. But it takes patience and practice.
Your reasons for wanting to stay active are really important. Knowing your reasons may help you keep going. What makes you want to stay active?
- You want to stay healthy.
- You enjoy being active and how it makes you feel.
- You want to control your weight.
- You want to set a good example for your family.
- Your doctor told you that it's important for your health.
- You have another reason for wanting to do this.
It's not always easy to make activity a regular part of your life. But taking the time now to really think about what motivates or inspires you will help you stay with it.
Tips for staying motivated
- Take 15 minutes, sit down with a pencil and paper, and write down all the reasons you can think of for wanting to stay active. It may help to see them written down. Hang the list up in your kitchen, bathroom, or maybe at work—someplace where you will see it every day.
- Think back to when you first started to become more active. Did you notice a difference in the way you felt? Did anyone else notice a difference? Write down any positive responses you got and hang them up too.
- Put up a photo or a quote that inspires you. It can be something that you find in a book or online. Or maybe it's a snapshot of you and your family playing sports or doing some other activity together.
Test Your Knowledge
It's harder to stay active when you're not clear about why you want to do it.
Update your goals
When you first started increasing your activity, you probably had one or more big goals in mind, like taking a summer hike with your family, walking 30 minutes every day, or lowering your blood pressure. These are long-term goals.
Are those goals the same today, or do you need to change them?
- Are you having trouble meeting those long-term goals? You may need to come up with new short-term goals to help you get there. Short-term goals are things you want to do tomorrow and the day after.
- Did you try to take on too much too fast? That's a reason why some people have trouble making activity a habit. Remember to make your short-term goals small steps. For example, if you want to build up to walking 30 minutes every day, start by walking just 10 minutes—or even 5 minutes—a day, a few days a week. After a week, add 1 or 2 minutes every day, or add another day to your schedule.
- Did you meet your long-term goal and then stop? Good for you for meeting your goal! But now you need a new long-term goal to help you stay active. Even people who have been active for years set new goals to help themselves stay motivated.
Get past those slip-ups
Everyone has slip-ups. But there's a difference between slipping up and giving up. Not exercising for a month after you've been exercising for 6 months is a slip-up. It doesn't mean you're a failure.
When you slip up, don't get mad at yourself or feel guilty. Think of it as a learning experience. Figure out what happened. Why did you stop? Think of ways to get yourself going again. Learn from your slip-ups so that you can keep on toward your goal of staying active.
Here are some common reasons for slip-ups, and some ideas for dealing with them:
It seems like I never have time.
- If you don't have time for your usual half-hour walk, have a back-up plan to take two 15-minute walks or three 10-minute walks during the day.
- When you don't have time to go to the gym, have a back-up plan to exercise at home or at work instead.
- Think of ways to manage your time better. Ask your family for help with fitting in some time for exercise.
- Tell yourself that you are the type of person who makes time for your own health, including physical activity.
- Look at other people who are active and are about as busy as you. Talk with them about how they fit in physical activity.
- Use a step counter, or pedometer, to remind you to be more active as you go about your daily routine.
It's often too hot, too cold, too windy, or too wet for outdoor activities.
- Try a variety of indoor and outdoor activities so that you're ready when the weather turns bad.
- Have a back-up plan to exercise indoors with home equipment or DVDs. Or walk inside a shopping mall or at a gym.
- Take a class like aerobics or yoga at a gym or community center. They're usually held indoors.
Going to the gym costs too much.
- Walking is an activity everyone can do without spending money.
- Exercise at home with inexpensive items such as a jump rope, elastic tubing, or a yoga mat. You can use items you already have, such as milk jugs filled with water as weights for arm exercises.
- Take an exercise class at a community center. These classes usually don't cost much.
I'm too tired most of the time.
- Try to get more rest.
- When you don't have the energy for a half-hour walk, spread 3 shorter 10-minute walks throughout your day. You'll soon regain the energy to walk longer.
- Maybe stress is making you tired. Think of ways to take stress out of your life. And remember that regular physical activity is one of the best ways to relieve stress. For more information, see the topic Stress Management.
It's too boring.
- Make your exercise routine more interesting by adding some entertainment. Watch a movie while you exercise at home. Or listen to a podcast while you go for a walk or a run.
- Exercise with a partner. Play outdoor games with your family. Walk the dog.
- Try something new—a dance class, exercise class, or gardening.
It hurts to exercise because of an injury or arthritis.
- If you're having pain when you exercise, try a different activity, such as bicycling or water activities.
- Use chair exercise DVDs that help you stay active while sitting down.
- It may hurt less if you spread your activity throughout your day.
- Tell your doctor that pain or discomfort is keeping you from staying active.
- Talk to a fitness expert who is trained to help you change your exercise so you can avoid pain.
Test Your Knowledge
Feeling guilty is the right response when you let your physical activity habits slip.
This answer is incorrect.
When you slip up and get off your plan to stay active, don't get mad at yourself or feel guilty. Think of it as a learning experience. Figure out what happened and why you've stopped being active. And then come up with ways to get yourself going again.
This answer is correct.
When you slip up and get off your plan to stay active, don't get mad at yourself or feel guilty. Think of it as a learning experience. Figure out what happened and why you've stopped being active. And then come up with ways to get yourself going again.
There's something wrong if you've tried to be physically active for 4 weeks and you still don't feel like it's become a habit.

The statistical story never tells the whole story, but there certainly are some telling numbers when you look at this year's edition of the Brandon Wheat Kings.
Sporting a 9-9-2-1 record heading into tonight's first of back-to-back games against the Kootenay Ice in Cranbrook, B.C., the Wheat Kings have fallen out of a playoff position — keeping in mind it is only November — and into ninth place in the WHL's Eastern Conference. When you break down the numbers, it's easy to see the areas that need the most work for the Wheat Kings.

Three decades of global scientific wizardry have failed to solve the HIV/AIDS riddle. No vaccine; no cure!
Millions of people from across the globe have succumbed to the pandemic since the early 1980s, when it was that the world really awoke to the cruel facts about the havoc it can wreak.
Many more millions are infected with the Aids virus and are at different stages of illness, the level of seriousness depending on a range of factors – some well beyond the control of those affected and society generally.
Vigorous information, education and sensitisation campaign have all but failed to tame the tide although the discovery and introduction of antiretroviral drugs (ARVs) have been cause for some optimism.
Intervention by regional and international organisations, including in the form of injections of funds for purchasing medical supplies and supporting caregivers, has done wonders in giving easing the suffering and agony of people living with HIV/Aids and those otherwise affected by the pandemic.
But it is now clear that there will soon not be as much room for much optimism, as some of the funding or philanthropic agencies that have for years supported the war on the scourge have decided to focus their attention on other issues or have scaled down their Aids funding.
The terrible news was the gist of a briefing by the Tanzania Commission for Aids (Tacaids) some three months ago.
The commission reported that most of Tanzania's development partners, among them the Canadian International Development Agency, are now concentrating on the strengthening of health systems as part of HIV support at the expense of treatment initiatives and that some have in fact long phased out their support for HIV/Aids programmes altogether.
What was especially worrisome about the whole thing was that, by Tacaids' own admission, the commission's HIV/Aids programmes have for years been 97 per cent dependent on donors. The funds came mainly from the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (GFATM) and the US President's Emergency Plan for Aids Relief (PEPFAR).
Now hear this, again as reported by Tacaids: the financial crisis resulting from the withdrawal of funding had made the commission fail to hit its target of providing treatment and related attention to people living with HIV/Aids.
Things were bad even when the commission received a staggering 550 billion/- a year for its HIV/Aids programmes, as that was only half of the amount needed. With much less funding than that, the situation will be cruel indeed.
It remains to be seen whether the planned setting up of a national Aids Trust Fund meant to enable the government to come up with an annual 300bn/- will come to much in terms of helping Tacaids attain its objectives.
But this is surely a tall order, particularly considering the viciousness with which the pandemic continue to prey on developing countries like ours, but with the rest of humankind far from spared the consequences.
It is only to be hoped that the government generally and Tacaids in particular fully realise what the imbroglio we risk facing vis-à-vis HIV/Aids unless we move very carefully particularly with respect to funding.
The honeymoon is over: Any funding options worth exploring or pursuing?

Heather Corinna replies:
How do you best position yourself to get eaten out? I've never thought of oral being appealing (as a girl) but I'm interested in how it would best be played out.
You put yourself in sexual relationships where you feel comfortable clearly communicating your desires to a partner.
In other words, getting your wants and needs met when it comes to any kind of sex isn't about pointing your bottom at whatever the right angle is for a partner to somehow psychically intuit what you want: getting your wants and needs met starts with clearly VOICING those wants and needs. And the truth is that if you're mature enough to be having sex, you're certainly mature enough to talk about it.
Like so: "I'd really like to try being eaten out with you, is that something you'd like to try?" Or, if you're more direct, and your partner has already made clear that he or she would like to try giving you oral sex, then a "Why don't you lick me?" will also work. Or, when you're hot and heavy already with a partner, an "I'd love it if you'd go down on me," or some such, is also doable. What the best thing is for you to say is all about you: we should all be writing our own scripts when it comes to sex.
Depending on the dynamics of your particular relationship, and your own communication styles, you may find it's best to bring these things up outside the bedroom, or better when you're already in the thick of sex. If you're both just getting used to verbally communicating about sex together, it can also work to write out your desires in letter form. But you'll also want to be able to communicate during any kind of sex, to tell your partner what does or don't feel good, and vice-versa on their end. People who have healthy, satisfying sex lives talk to each other about sex openly.
If you're also asking about what given position or posture oral sex works out best in, that's something that also can go a lot of different ways, and depends a lot on what is most comfortable -- physically and emotionally -- for you and your partner. Some folks enjoy oral sex while lying on their back, others while sitting on the edge of a bed or chair, others while standing or on all fours, others while sitting on a partner's mouth. But basically, any way that someone can have their face on your vulva that is also comfortable for you is a way that works.
Just remember that the other part of the equation here is what your partner is ready for and interested in, too, and that some of your sexual discussion should also be about sex safety. For instance, for both of you to best prevent contracting or transmitting STIs, oral sex -- male or female -- should be done with a latex barrier until you've been together for at least six months, using barriers, and each have TWO full and clear STI screens between you.

The Dinka Akuma is a motorcycle featured in the downloadable episodic pack The Ballad of Gay Tony for Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand Theft Auto V.
The Akuma appears to be a streetfighter version of the Double T, sharing a lot of design cues with it; same front and rear ends, same fuel tank, same controls. However, the Akuma features a tubular frame, much like that of a Ducati Streetfighter, instead of a solid one. The most similar moto is the Triumph Speed Racer.
It features a liquid-cooled inline-4 engine coupled to a 5-speed transmission. This bike features a lightweight construction and has a relativity short wheelbase, making it ideal for city-streets getaways, and a good bike to use in trying to get the achievement/trophy Wheelie Rider.
The bike may appear with various design alterations :
- Various carbon fiber parts, including exhaust slip-on, front and rear fenders and a windshield.
- Side-mounted single exhaust, or underseat dual ones.
A turbocharged version is also available, sporting a springer back seat replacing the entire rear end and a no-restriction short exhaust system. This variant, however, shares the same performances as the naturally aspired one.
The Ballad of Gay Tony
- Can be spawned by dialing 625-555-0200 on the phone. Using the cheat code is the fastest way to obtain an Akuma, as they are rarely seen driven around in single player like the Hakuchou.
- Seen driven around in multiplayer.
Grand Theft Auto V
- The Akuma is the third fastest motorcycle in the GTA IV series games so far, the fastest being the Double T Custom.
- Akuma is Japanese for "Satan" or "devil". Akuma is also the name of a character in the Street Fighter videogames.
- The Akuma appeared in two GameInformer screenshots, with the the same dual oval headlights, frame, split six-spoke wheels & tyres, rear fender and underside. The only difference between the Ballad of Gay Tony Rendition and the V rendition is the addition of a rear hugger.
- Sometimes there will be no sound when you start-up the Akuma, turning the engine off and then on again fixes this problem.

Few things strike fear and anxiety in the hearts of homeowners as strongly as the presence of mold.
Angie's Answers
Is the cabin conditioned year round or at all?
Are there any grading or moisture issues that are allowing bulk moisture into the crawl?
Conditioning the crawl is usually the best answer but if it is sporadic use and/or makes better sense to leave as a vented space, you need to do the following for optimum performance:
- Install a vapor barrier across the floor. Seal all piers and penetrations as well as seal to the stem wall.
- Insulate the underside of the floor and ideally thermally break the floor joists from the earth.
- This is best accomplished by covering the floor joist with a rigid foam and sealing all the seams.
When you say vented to the roof, do you mean into the attic UNDER the roof, or through the roof with a duct up through a roof jack into a roof hood ? Hopefully the latter, otherwise you have the likely source of the problem.
You are clearly getting moisture in this area still, so more insulation will not help and may hurt - insulation does not stop moisture but does trap it, particularly if you add enough tht the freezing front moves well down into the insulation, so vapor coming up from the house freezes in the insulation (making it wet when it thaws) rather than venting into the attic and evaporating from there.
You need an expert check on the bathroom area - that the fan unit and any light fixtures are tighly sealed to the vapor barrier. Usually they are installed with about a 1/4-1/2 inch void all around for ease of installation, and not sealed at all, so moist bathroom air vents around themm into the attic.
Then the fan unit needs checking for openings - many have openings in the plastic or metal case from manufacturing that are not sealed but should be. Do NOT use any type of unit that, because of big lights or heat lamp, says it has to be vented and cannot be sealed in, because moist air goes right up through it.
Then the duct from the fan up through the roof needs checking for leaks (and should be insulated, at least if your attic goes below freezing ever), and should have a roof jack where it penetrates the attic - a rubber seal in a metal plate that fits tightly around the duct, so the air blown into the vent hood on the roof cannot circulate back down into the attic. Most installers just cut about a 1 foot opening in the roof (especially if they can install the duct that way without having to crawl around in itchy attic insulation), run the duct up through it into the roof hood, and walk away. That leaves that big opening in the roof sheathing for the wet air and condensation in the hood to corculate right back down into the attic. Some installers (like my house whenn I first bought it) really take the easy route and don't even connect the duct to the hood - they just terminate it a foot or so below the sheathing so ALL the moist air goes into the attic.
I would also check the kitchen and any other bathroom fans for the same leak sources or improper installation, and make sure all vent pipes are intact to above the roof, and that there are no furnace or HVAC ducts disconnected or damaged that could be adding moisture.
Also look around all roof penetrations for ducts and pipes for staining on the underside of the sheathing, which would be indicative of roof hood or jack leaks that should be repaired. (Hopefully, with a new roof you would not have any).
The area most affected should have the insulation moved away and checked to see if the vapor barrier has holes or tears, openings around pipes, ducts, light boxes or wiring, or was maybe totally torn out by some prior workman. If your vapor barrier is not effective, moist household air will move into the attic almost year around, but especially in cold weather, carrying moisture into the attic, where it will condense and cause mold.
Also - if you have a fireplace chase (wood boxout around metal chimney) in that area, it may connect to the house in the firebox area and be open to the attic (which is a real fire spread hazard but for some reason is not contrary to code), letting household air flow by that route.
The mold should be brushed and vacuumed away, then treated - there are commercial sprays that are fungicides that commercial mold and mildew removal contractors have, a sprayed chlorine bleach and borax solution has also been shown to work but you would have to have an air supplied respirator and chemical suit to work with that, which only professional remediation contractors have. Do NOT paint the area - especially the underside of the roof sheathing and trusses. They needs to be able to breathe, not have any moisture from above locked in.
Stains in the attic (assuming this is an unoccupied area) can be bleached, and then if you want the evidence to go away and make it easier to tell if there is new staining or mold, sanded to remove the worst of them.
Stains on areas visible from the outside like walls and rafters can be treated with Chlorine bleach (beware of dripping on good finishes below), painted with Kilz or similar anti-fungal primer, then painted. Stains on the underside of the sheathing visible in the soffit area can be bleached and then when dry, sanded away.
Ventilation is essential, but without removing the source of most the moisture you will not win this war no matter how many times you battle it.
While I would guess the fans and vents are the problem, is there anything different about the attic ventilation to this area versus the other parts of the roof - soffit covers, blocked eave openings, insulation-clogged bug screening or soffit cover openings, lack of air chutes or eave baffles, insulation pushed up against eave opening or up against roof, horizontal blocking that prevents or obstructs airflow, no ridge vent above it, etc ?
If you are not able to find an obvious source of the moisture, I woud consider getting a thermal IR scan of the attic. For typically about $200-300 an energy conservation expert with thermal scanner can scan the attic (might have to be done at night or VERY early morning if done in summertime, to accentuate the temp difference between house air and attic air, unless you have AC in which case turning the AC down low and blower on full can work by pushing cold air rather than hot up through any gaps or voids. If you have that done, check on price to add in the rest of the house too - probably not more than about $100 more, and can show you where your air leaks and poor insulation air. You should try to get one who can provide the entire scan to you on CD or DVD, so you can review it in the future. Here is a link to some images so you know what I am talking about -
Call in the professionals.
There is no sense addressing the mold issue until you resolve the basement leaks.
High ground water that is seeping into your basement is going to lead to long term, serious damage to your foundation and basement walls. Any mold you remove will just keep coming back. The first question is the age of the home and whether or not you have working perimeter drain tile installed. If you home is pretty old (30+ years) it is possible you do not have a drainiage system, or the system is clogged / deteriorated beyond function. For a newer home, perimeter drain tile was a requirement, but doesn't mean it was installed properly.
I recommend you hire a licensed architect to review your house's construction, the site and look for indications that a drainage system is in place and functioning. They should be able to find out where the drain comes out, and to check it (after a rain or by doing a water test) to see if it is working. If it is working, it is possible your system is undersized or only failing in a specific area. It is also possible a second, lower water table exists that is below your current drain system. A site change, to change the current flow of ground water or above ground water may resolve your issue as well. Something as simple as a new drainage ditch, retention pond or higher grades around your building may resolve your issue.
Working with a professional will prevent you from worrying about a 'draingage expert' recommending a high cost repair when another option may be available.
Some drainage people will propose installing a new perimiter drain inside your basement walls. This system gets the water that gets through the walls and under the floor, and carries it back out. This is a last ditch idea. The best method, to solve the issue for good, is to dig back down to your footers, repair the waterproofing on the wall, then place drainage board over it (this protects the waterproofing while allowing moisture a travel path to your drain tile). Then place gravel fill with geo-fabric over it, then backfill. Now, no matter how much water you have in your ground, it will be directed away from your basement.
A sump pump in the basement to handle flooding or low water tables below your basement slab will augment this system.
Once you have the moisture issue resolved, then worry about stopping mold. In the interim, any materials that are growing mold need to be removed (use protective measures). Make sure you run a dehumidifier at all times and keep air moving by turning on the basement hvac vents or putting some fans in the area.
Working with a licensed architect will help ensure you pinpoint the exact problem, and have a knowledgable person to discuss the options with before doing any costly work. The architect will also be able to assist with finding contractors and overseeing that the work is installed correctly (It is worthless to redo the drainage if any one area is not done correctly). Good luck.
Mold Removal reviews in Manheim
I asked him numerous questions regarding the odor in the basement that I was concerned about and about visible mold.
He did not appear to answer my questions directly and I felt I had to keep asking the same questions ...MoreRead more of this review repeatedly to get the answers I was looking for. In addition, he did not appear willing to elaborate on the answers and dd not satisfy my questions.
He explained that he would email me the results of the test in about a week. When I received the email, it was simply a chart that was forwarded to me that showed numbers that I did not understand and the types of mold.
In the body of the email he sent me, he wrote a few paragraphs stating that remediation was recommended.
At no point did he contact me by phone to ask if I received the results and at no point did he ask me if I had any questions regarding the results. Not only did he not offer to write a page or two to explain what the results signified or how it applied to my current odor or mold situation, but when I asked if he could, he explained that my $99 I spent did not warrant him to put it in writing.
I explained that there was no way for me to be able to interpret the results of the charts he simply forwarded me from the lab company in Florida due to my extremely limited knowledge of mold, and he responded that all I need to do was ask him questions.
The whole situation appeared unprofessional to me and he did not even seem willing to answer my questions over the phone and the responses he provided appeared vague and too general.
In other words, in my opinion, he did not seem to really want to help me. It would have even been nice, though of course not required, to even have contacted me and explain that though he could not write a report, but for example, that he could take the time to make another visit and go over the results in person.

Designing a Pet-Friendly Home
Posted by FLOR | Filed under Musings, Solutions
If you've seen the cover of our new fall catalog, you probably noticed the adorable dog sitting attentively on one of our new styles: Line, Please. (Yes, he is real … we think he's a
Wire Fox Terrier. Update: The pooch is a she (Sophie) and she's a Lakeland Terrier. We were close and she's still super adorable!).
For anyone who has ever owned a pet you know there are occasional mishaps that accompany these adorable little creatures – kitty scratches on furnishings or pillows, puppy accidents on the carpet, or the periodic chewing of your favorite rug or shoes.
But fear not – it is possible to have a beautiful home without having to oust your furry friend. One of the secrets in designing a pet-friendly home is choosing materials that work for you instead of against you. That means, choosing textiles or patterns that can actually help to camouflage things like pet hair, accidents, snags or spills.
We have a slew of pet-friendly styles from our new Fall Collection that do the trick: Mild Mannered; Level Setting; Sound Check; or, Reverb – to name just a few.
(above: Mild Mannered – Thyme)
(above: Level Setting – Black)
(Above: Sound Check – Pewter)
(Above: Reverb – Persimmon & Magenta)
These low-profile styles are less likely to trap pet hair or soil and use variations in color and texture that give them extra camouflaging qualities, making them perfect for homes with pets.
Check out more reasons why FLOR is the smart answer for beautiful, well-designed homes that happen to have pets (or kids).

For the last few years, like clockwork, there has been a racially charged incident at Quinnipiac University -- the private Hamden, CT campus where I do some teaching and lecturing as a professional in residence with the School of Communications.
Previously, there has been no resolution to the cases, no closure. The university has been more concerned with protecting its image than in confronting the realities of racism among a small faction on campus.
There is a small percentage of minorities on campus. The school, however, has been trying to make diversity a priority, conducting forums on race and inclusion and stepping up efforts to hire more folks of color. That's why the racial incidents - slurs etched on a dorm door or wall, or harassing phone calls -- have been so deflating. They don't represent what the large majority of the QU family is about.
This week, Hamden police arrested three QU students and charged them with making threatening phone calls to African American students. The three have been expelled from school. One of the suspects, Charles Merritt, 18, of Clifton, Maine has been charged with a hate crime.
Though university president John L. Lahey has condemned such acts, he has been slow to use the power of his office to make sure there is legal closure to these cases. Calling in the cops EARLY on this one was a good thing. The expulsion, though premature, sends a very clear message: Anyone on campus who gets arrested in connection with these kinds of allegations will be asked to leave.
School officials need to remember that they'll be judged on how they handle these disturbing situations, not the fact that the incidents occured under their watch.
It should be noted that three of the victims involved in this case are members of the QU basketball team. The university has made an enormous investment in upgrading its Division I program. One only hopes that the sense of urgency in resolving this particular case wasn't heightened because it involved African American athletes in a high-profile athletic program.
If that was the case, then let it serve as the new primer on how to deal with allegations of racially motivated intimidation on campus:
1. Get the cops involved immediately. Encourage students to assist in providing confidential information.
2. Expell, or suspend indefinitely, anyone who is arrested.
3. Reiterate to the campus that anyone engaged in racially-motivated intimidation acts will be arrested first, then shown the door. Make that particularly clear during freshman orientation.
Finally, the university needs to be more open and transparent with the media -- including student journalists -- when these incidents first occur. Let them have unfettered access on campus. Have them talk to the students and staff. Let them see that these incidents, embarassing as they are, are not an accurate reflection of the campus.
Folks, what are your thoughts on this? What else could QU have done in handling this? How can universities as a whole better manage racial incidents such as this? What are your impressions of Quinnipiac?
Give me a holler.

Woody's Hot Rodz Gasser Chassis - The Instant GasserWritten by Gerry Burger on December 1, 2011 New frames are fueling the gasser flames
Unless you just crawled out from under a rock or have been doing the "Rip Van Winkle" thing for the past 10 years you know that hot rodding has gone full circle back to the roots of rodding with traditional hot rods dominating the scene. It seems street rodders understand hot rodding is as much about a time period as it is about cars and so hot rod styles from the '40s through the early '70s are coming on strong. Those of us who were cruising local hometowns in the '60s were treated to a barrage of hot rod options. In the early '60s there were still a healthy number of vintage hot rods, '28-48 hot rods were still plentiful, but drag racing was coming on strong with most locations having several active tracks. This brought a whole new genre of cars, drag race cars, some dual-purpose cars that managed to get the owner to work all week and race on weekends, while others were dedicated race cars. Professional drag racing was growing with great rivalries in the top fuel, altered, and gasser ranks. Then, by the mid-'60s the muscle car movement was in full swing and suddenly factory hot rods were thrown into the mix and onto the strip. A day in the pits in 1965 would see plenty of Tri-Five Chevrolet gassers, along with some Willys, Anglias, and Austin gassers, next to a '62 409 and a new GTO. Yeah, it was one very cool time period, seemingly with everything going on at once, a time period that many traditional hot rods love to revisit.
We can hardly discuss today's mid-'50s to early '60s hot rod resurgence without addressing the burgeoning gasser movement in our hobby. A natural offshoot of the wave of popularity surrounding the traditional hot rod, the gasser movement is really gaining traction. Straight-axle cars, nose high stances, piecrust slicks, velocity stacks, and colored Plexiglas windows are all making a huge comeback. For many people, the term gasser and Tri-Five Chevrolets are synonymous, and we must admit few things quicken the pulse more than a straight-axle '57 with no front bumper and white fenderwell headers.
In the early '60s street-going gassers were every bit as common as traditional hot rods and wicked '55-57 Chevrolets prowled the streets and dragstrips in search of worthy competition. The cars were not nearly so precious then, so taking a Sawzall to quarter-panels and cutting through the side trim in the process was just part of the build. Tossing front bumpers, hood emblems, and other unnecessary chrome items were considered standard fare and a dash-mounted tach was mandatory. Yes, the '55-57 Chevy was a big-time choice for hot rodders in the '60s. When the big-block arrived they quickly found their way between the rails of the Tri-Five Chevrolets.
Mag wheels were developed for the growing number of drag race cars, originally cast in magnesium aluminum versions for street cars (and more budget-minded racers) sold like proverbial hot cakes. Yeah, hot rodding was going wild and it seemed everyone was modifying their car, and gassers were leading the action at the local drags, and on the street. Windows full of "kill stickers," lightweight bucket seats, Hurst shifters, they all made up the lightweight, go fast, be bad gasser movement, and now, it's all coming back. Happily there is a fresh supply of steel bodies on the market and now aftermarket frames make building a gasser even easier than it was in 1961.
Woody's Hot Rodz has just introduced their all-new '57 Chevrolet gasser chassis aptly dubbed "Full Wood." A study in modern fabrication, the chassis it beautifully finished. The utter simplicity of straight-axles front and rear make this a very attractive way to go. The nosebleed stance is a compliment of the straight axle up front. Modern disc brakes make stopping at the big end a bit less of an adventure and modern steering makes prowling the streets easier. Brake options range from the base GM units to the latest offering from Wilwood. Out back an all-new Currie 9-inch housing is located via parallel leaf springs that have been positioned for proper stance and additional tire room.
While this is standard fare in bare roller configuration, remember Woody's Hot Rodz is a full service rod shop and they are more than happy to add custom features like driveshaft loops or different motor mounts to your chassis. Looking to put a 409 underhood? No problem, and they can even provide a complete body and chassis package in virtually any state of completion.
Of course this chassis is designed for the enthusiast looking for the all-out gasser treatment, but remember, every gasser in the '60s didn't run a straight-axle, nor does every hot rodder today want the somewhat radical approach of driving a straight-axle car long distances.
This fact was not lost on Woody's Hot Rodz, so in addition to the Full Wood straight-axle frame they designed and built a hot rod chassis for the Tri-Five Chevrolet that would incorporate plenty of room for gasser goodies like wheelwell headers, but with a more conventional A-arm suspension borrowed from a first-generation Camaro. This is the Hot Wood chassis and what makes this chassis so cool is the fact that all the suspension parts are from a first-generation Camaro. The stamped-steel control arms, steering box, and spindles are all sourced from the Camaro, so parts are readily available. Combine all this great design with unrivaled fabrication that includes TIG-welded mounts and you have a cruising chassis that provides a much improved ride over the stock Tri-Five suspension. And, much like the Full Wood frame, this new chassis makes it possible to build a brand-new '57 Chevrolet from the ground up.
The chassis was also designed to accept big- or small-block Chevrolet motors, and if you use the Woody's Hot Rodz motor mounts both small- and big-block headers, designed for the first-generation Camaro, and that includes both long- and short-tube headers. Any original body, including station wagons and convertibles, will bolt on the chassis with no modifications required, and of course the all-new Real Deal Steel bodies also drop right in place, and yes the stock gas tank works just fine on this frame.
When we spoke with Chris Sondles, owner of Woody's Hot Rodz, it was obvious he is a huge fan of bringing back the hot rod Chevrolets. While the body and frame is a giant step in that direction, Sondles is busy developing even more parts that will give your Tri-Five Chevrolet that real hot rod look.
Yes, the reproduction '55-57 Chevrolet steel body and frame is here, with the '56 Chevrolet slated for early 2012. By the spring of 2012 we look forward to a stream of hot rod Chevys rolling out of garages again, just like they did in the '60s, solid lifter cams rattling under dual quads with stacks protruding through the hood. It's all great gasser stuff, and while you might never be able to be a kid again, building a real gasser will let you act like one.

To illustrate the level of craftsmanship on this chassis just check out the rear shackle towers, great workmanship, and fine design.The fabricated body mounts are in the exact location of a stock '57 Chevrolet body mount, but Chevy never made a body mount bracket that looked this good. The metal discs are spacers to simulate the rubber bushings used in final assembly.This overhead view illustrates the utter simplicity of a gasser frame. Tube crossmembers are used to mount both the motor and transmission. Two leaf springs and a straight-axle complete the picture. The radiator support is also tubular.The straight-axle on the frame is by Speedway Motors, and the shocks and springs mount with clean and simple brackets. Note the use of Grade 8 or better fasteners throughout the Woody's chassis.The upper shock mount consists of a machined bung welded into the frame. The TIG welding on the chassis is superb. Parallel leaf springs locate the axle and provide that nosebleed stance.The motor mounts on this chassis are for a small-block Chevrolet but there is ample room between the framerails for the motor of your choice.A new 525 steering box is mounted to the frame. In conjunction with the proper size steering arms, the straight-axle gasser has a normal turning radius that many vintage gassers don't have.Modern disc brakes provide safety on the street or strip, and there is any number of disc brake options available on the gasser chassis.
The Woody's chassis comes standard with Currie housing and axles, of course the gear set of your choice can be ordered to fill the housing. The design of the chassis allows for plenty of room for things like exhaust, fuel, and brake lines.A dropped tube crossmember supports the transmission of your choice (we're thinking four-speed). The crossmember is welded in place, but the drop in the crossmember should allow for transmission removal.The unique mounting of the shackles keeps the springs under the framerail, while the top shackle mount is above the framerail.The wheels up front are Rocket Launchers, by Rocket Wheel, and that seems like an appropriate wheel for a street-going gasser. Bias-ply tires from Coker help keep the dateline correct.A brand-new Currie 9-inch rear housing mounts to parallel leaf spring with tube shocks. It doesn't get much simpler than that. Ladder bars are optional, and of course a good old set of "slapper bars" could be added for some additional gasser flavor too.The complete rear suspension looks like your typical Tri-Five Chevrolet rear suspension, and yet every bit of what you see here is an improvement over anything found under an original '57 Chevy.Nothing says gasser more than a set of cool ladder bars under the car. The ladder bars are optional on the Woody's Hot Rodz Tri-Five gasser chassis.The Hot Wood chassis incorporates front suspension components from the first-generation Camaro, but the frame was also designed to accept wheelwell headers (designed for Camaro) and the overall workmanship is spot-on. The frame is surprisingly affordable.
Looking from the rear we can't help but be impressed with the chassis. A driveshaft loop is optional on the new frame; you'll have to make your own wheelie bar brackets.The stamped steel control arms are available fully chrome-plated, and any brake kit designed for a Camaro will fit too. Note the high level of craftsmanship on the chassis and the beautiful welding throughout.More ingenuity in action, an adjustable transmission crossmember mount allows you to install the tranny of your choice and of course this also makes removal easier, should that need arise.Just to let you know the Woody's chassis has an aggressive gasser stance; we thought we'd end this story with a shot of the brand-new '57 Chevrolet hardtop body on the Woody's gasser frame.

Well, this certainly took a bit longer than I had planned! Besides a nasty bout of bronchitis that totally took me down, I've found myself in the throes of college applications, SAT's and ACT's, plus a few magazine deadlines just for good measure. Unfortunately, poor little SGCC has had to sit in the back of the bus temporarily, while I play catch up. But, I realized that I've left you hanging in the middle of my Oregon trip, and that just won't do. The second half of my adventure was just as fabulous as the first, and I really do want to share it with you. I had actually put together a very nice slideshow with music and everything for you. It was perfect and I had my heart set on using it in this post. Unfortunately, the artist who recorded the music that I wanted to use never responded to my request for permission. After two emails and five days, I gave up. Sigh… read more >>

The Rue Boston office feels like it's about 70% women, 69% of which are supermodel stylish. Leopard. Booties. Leather leggings. You'll see it all – in spades. And, I have to say, it has zero reason to do with the men (dapper as they may be) who grace our cubes.
So what does it have to do with? Some would say our female coworkers, but it's certainly up for debate.
This week, Vogue chatted with Justin O'Shea and his girlfriend, Veronika Heilbrunner – the buying and fashion directors for the luxury e-boutique mytheresa.com – regarding the age-old question: do women dress for men, or simply themselves?

Big changes could be ahead for many of our children and their schools.
The Springs' largest district is considering reconfiguring or even outright closing several schools. However, District 11 says nothing has been decided yet, and they do want public input before moving forward.
The schools in question are: Horace Mann and Galileo middle schools, Wasson High School, and Bates, Queen Palmer, Midland and Taylor elementary schools.
The district say declining enrollment is behind the idea, because 80 percent of those living in D-11 don't have school-aged children.
There are three remaining meetings where you can share your thoughts or gather more information. The next meeting is from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Mitchell High School on Potter Drive.

March 7, 2011
Sunday's junior day at Ohio State didn't have great quantity but it certainly made up for that in quality as a handful of the top prospects in Ohio were on hand. One of the major headliners of the group was Canton McKinley defensive end Se'von Pittman. The 6-foot-4, 235-pound prospect was one of three prospects in attendance that held an offer coming into the day and Pittman came away impressed with what he saw. "My visit was good," Pittman said. "Seeing coach Jim Tressel and coach Jim Heacock again was good and seeing the facilities was good, too." The Buckeye basketball team certainly put on a show for everyone in attendance as they put up a big 28-point win over Wisconsin in the regular season finale. "The atmosphere was just, wow," Pittman explained. "The fans were going crazy. It was a great atmosphere." As a prospect with tremendous versatility, everyone seems to have their own opinion on where Pittman will ultimately play at the next level. The Ohio State staff is recruiting Pittman as a strongside end and Pittman was able to go over some things with the Buckeyes' staff in terms of where he would potentially fit in on the team. "We just talked about where I stand at in their program," Pittman said. "We talked about how beneficial I am for the program and also academics and stuff like that." So where did this visit stack up with the others that he has taken? "It's up there with the best of them," Pittman said. "Just for the fact that it was O-State, and seeing all the people and everything was real good. It was just a good atmosphere, being around positive people." Pittman wasn't the only Canton area recruit in attendance as Buckeye commit and Glen Oak high school running back Bri'onte Dunn also made the two-hour trip south. "We just talked about playing each other in the regular season and how big that game was going to be, just playing around," Pittman said. Pittman has worked in as many unofficial visits this winter as possible as he tries to balance his football recruitment with his basketball season. The McKinley hoops squad downed rival North Canton Hoover in its last playoff game which sets up a Wednesday match-up with defending state runner-up Massillon Jackson. "It's very exciting," he explained. "At the same time, I've got to make time for football and make time for basketball. Right now I'm just trying to manage my time."

Whose Laugh Is It Anyway?
In 'The Producers,' Mel Brooks satirizes the Holocaust like only a Jew could. But when does ethnic humor cross the line?
In an episode of television's "Seinfeld," a recurring character named Tim Whatley converts to Judaism -- not for reasons of faith, but simply for the opportunity to repeat off-color Jewish jokes without fear of reprisal. He is a Jew, so now he can riff on "his people."
It's a funny bit, and one that gets to the heart of a major theme in comedy: ownership.
Ownership is what allows black comedian Richard Pryor to title an album "That Nigger's Crazy." It's what allows Italian Catholic Don Novella to ridicule the church as the irreverent Father Guido Sarducci. And ownership is what allows Seinfeld himself to let his TV character have a passionate make-out session in a movie theater during a screening of "Schindler's List." All of the above have the proper history, heritage, and birthright one needs for such a poking of sensitive wounds.
Comedic ownership, above all else, is about the intersection of painful memories and cathartic laughter. It allows for the pairing of extremes such as reverence and ridicule, or piousness and parody. Feelings get hurt. Toes get stepped on. In a best-case scenario, the roar of laughter drowns out the roar of outrage.
Mel Brooks knows the sound of those roars. One might even crown Brooks the king of comedic ownership, if solely for his 1968 film and current Broadway smash, "The Producers." Winner of 12 Tony awards, the stage version is Brooks' reworking of a movie classic that introduced the world to "Springtime for Hitler," a musical take on Nazi Germany complete with Busby Berkeley dance numbers and zingers such as "Don't be stupid/Be a smarty/Come and join the Nazi Party."
As a Jew, Brooks takes liberties in "The Producers" that non- Jewish comedians might never be allowed even to fantasize about, from having his Jewish lead characters don swastika armbands and gain favor with a Hitler worshiper, to having buxom stormtroopers decked out in sexy uniforms, to...well, the list of outlandish situations goes on and on.
