Colonia Revolucion one step closer to running water
Residents excited for change
EL PASO, Texas - County leaders approved nearly $3 million in contracts to complete work on a water project in far east El Paso.
The project aims to bring water to more than 100 families in the Colonia Revolucion. Currently the area has no running water, making tasks like showering, cooking and just drinking water a challenge.
Commissioner Vince Perez, who represents the area, told ABC-7 the project is among the most important things going on in the county right now.
"This project is hugely important to them and their quality of life," said Perez. "Not only will they have clean drinking water, but they will be allowed to pay residential electric rates as well."
Perez said residential rates for electricity are not given unless a community has running water. That means families who are already paying a premium to get truckloads of water delivered every few days are also required to pay higher rates for electricity too. Those who live in the Colonia Revolucion neighborhood say they can pay more than $250 a month.
"Sometimes we don't have enough money," said Darla Padilla. "Other times we'll be taking a shower and the water stops and we have the soap in our hair. Yeah, it's very hard."
Padilla has lived in the area for four years. She's one of three generations living under one roof. Padilla said you get used to not having an endless supply of water, but the cost can make things challenging. Her mother-in-law, Yvette Romero, has been dealing with the water issues for nearly a decade longer. While she's used to it, it hasn't been easy.
"The city started giving me problems because of the (lack of) running water," said Romero, explaining how she opened up a store with hopes of adding a restaurant to the Colonia Revolucion area. "I wasn't able to open up the restaurant so I went ahead and shut it down."
Romero said the lack of water created problems with the permitting process. She ran the store for a little more than a year, but had to abandon her dreams when she realized the water wasn't going to make it to the community anytime soon. Years later, the county's latest moves has made running water a reality. The county expects water to be running within 8-12 months.

The effects of this month's dramatic downturn in the stock market on the heels of the recession just three years ago is instilling a fear of risk in the very investors who have the most time to benefit from long-term stock market investments. The last generation to exhibit this level of distaste for the market was the one that emerged from the Depression, sometimes referred to as Depression babies.
Investors yanked $23.5 billion out of equity funds the second week of August, the most since October 2008, according to Investment Company Institute. A survey by global money manager MFS concludes that fear about the market is causing investors of all ages to pull out of stocks in favor of cash.
But those between the ages of 18 and 30 are leading the stampede, squirreling 30 percent of their assets in relatively safe investments like Treasuries and cash, compared with 26 percent for investors overall, says MFS.
Fear isn't the only factor at work: More members of this generation report losing their jobs than those over the age of 30 have, according to the Pew Research Center. In 2010, only 41 percent of 18- to 29-year-olds reported working full time, compared with 50 percent in 2006. With such a rocky start to their careers, many simply don't have the money to invest in the market, or believe it's too risky in an uncertain job market.
But with 40 years to retirement, young adults with steady income should think about buying equities on the cheap. Although it seems counterintuitive, the best times to buy are often when everyone else is afraid, especially when the time horizon is long. A well-balanced portfolio that takes advantage of growth opportunities early on and gradually moves more toward cash as the investor ages has been the best way to amass the assets needed for a comfortable retirement.

PS 43 Students Walk Their Way To Jamaica Bay
Last week, teacher Dina Mongiardo's fifth-grade class from PS 43 in Edgemere walked their way to Bayswater Park to use seine nets off Jamaica Bay. The students walked from Beach 29 Street along the boardwalk and over to the bay to discover the amazing resources of this NYC gem.
Most students were unaware that Jamaica Bay was just outside their school. This was the first chance for many to use wading boots and pull the large nets through the bay to see what marine life they would find. It was clear from the smiles on their faces how excited the kids were to come to the water.
Don Riepe, Barbara Cohen and Mickey Cohen of American Littoral Society's Northeast Chapter led the students in an environmental education class along the bay. Students left the park with specimens of marine life they collected during the day to study in class.
The day was organized by the Rockaway Waterfront Alliance to bring the students to public spaces just walking distance from their school, in support of the Mayor's PLANYC 2030 initiative to encourage use of public space accessible both on foot and via public transportation.
"Having both the Atlantic Ocean and Jamaica Bay accessible to the students just outside most local schools gives Rockaway students a huge advantage to use the waterfront for educational purposes that many young people in other parts of the country do not have," said Jeanne DuPont, Director of Rockaway Waterfront Alliance. "We hope programs like these will help raise awareness of these natural resources, their accessibility and the many wonderful groups like American Littoral Society right here in our own community."

Someone needs to get Avery Johnson a job before Monty gets fired.
It's not the first time he has mentioned the team while no one else is. Pels are on his mind. Can't be a bad thing.
You're reaching.
Funny thing is, this Pels team is somewhat similar to Karl's team in Denver last season that won 57 games. I think Karl excels with these types of teams.
Holiday/Lawson - height notwithstanding, both are versatile, quick, combo type guards who can knock down the 3.
Ryan Anderson/Gallinari/Wilson Chandler - big, floor spacing three point threats
Evans/Iggy - swiss army knife players who can play 3 positions and fill up the stat sheet (Evans is this player when he's on). Obviously Iggy's D >> Evans, but still...
AD/Faried - It's insulting to compare the two, but both are high energy PF/C who clean up on the inside and provide formidable interior defense.
EG/Brewer - Brewer was one of their key pieces and we really don't have a player like him defensively. Gordon could fill this void. Obviously he is superior offensively and at one point was actually revered as a pretty good defensive player.
You figure the Nuggets attempted 45% of their shots last season in the restricted area (32% this season).
Led the league in fast break points (10th this season).
Led the league in offensive rebounding % (20th this season).
Similar to the Pels, the Nuggets are struggling big time this season without their floor spacers Gallinari and Chandler. But is seems Karl's coaching and offensive philosophy was pretty important to the Nuggets success. 57 wins is pretty damn good.
Why am I not shocked you vehemently disagree
because what you said is inaccurate. The only thing the Pels have in common with last years Nuggets is the ability to run. That doesn't mean the players "games" are similar.
I'm not sure whether youre just a Pels homer/Sportscenter viewer, your knowledge of the NBA always seems to be from a casual fan view, thus your posts are lacking real insight.

Objective: This study aims to investigate whether there is any association between the types of poison substances and geographic locations for different age groups and sex.
Design: This is a population based epidemiological study utilising routinely collected inpatient statistics.
Setting: Data are collected as part of the routine vital health information system via all hospitals in New South Wales (NSW), Australia.
Patients: All patients aged between 0–19 years who were admitted to a hospital because of poisoning by the four major types of substances that were defined in the study in NSW in 2000.
Main results: The standardised incidence ratios of poisoning related hospitalisation between metropolitan and rural areas varied across different poison types when compared with the NSW average. While there are few differences between metropolitan and rural areas for analgesic and chemical related poisoning admissions across different age groups and sex, differences in the standardised incidence ratios between geographic locations for psychotropic and venom related poisoning admissions were found. No significant difference in standardised mortality ratios were found between metropolitan and rural areas except for females in the 10–14 years age group (standardised mortality ratio 3.24, 95% confidence interval 1.69 to 6.21).
Conclusions: The results obtained in this study, on the whole, provide some evidence for an association between poison types and geographic locations for psychotropic and venom related poisoning.

Poisoning has been identified as one of the major causes of childhood and adolescence hospital emergency presentations and admissions in most developed countries including the United States, United Kingdom, and Australia.1–10
In developing countries, poisoning has also been recognised as a major health problem among children and adolescents.11–13 Ahmed and Andersson compared the mortality rates of unintentional injuries, including poisoning, in countries with different income levels, and found that poisoning is the second most common cause of death in all lower and upper middle income countries among the 15–24 year age group.12
Certain poison types of medicinal and non-medicinal substances have been identified as common agents in poisoning in children and adolescents.14–17 Riordan et al reviewed the literature on childhood poisoning and identified several groups of medicinal substances as the most common.14,15 These included analgesics, anti-inflammatory agents, psychotropic drugs such as antidepressants, and benzodiazepines related agents. Non-medicinal substances include chemicals such as organophosphates, pesticides, insecticides, organic solvents, and household cleaning products such as bleach and caustics and were also found to be common causes of poisoning among children.16 Poisoning due to psychotropic medicine was most common among adolescents.17
It has also been suggested that there is a differential relationship between poison types and geographic locations where poisoning incidences occur.10 Assumption on exposure, which is based on accessibility to poisonous substances, leads to the hypothesis that certain types of poisoning would be more prevalent in specific geographic locations. For example, children and adolescents in rural areas would have more chance of exposure to agricultural and other chemicals, hence poisoning due to these types of substances should be more prevalent in rural areas. The same argument can be applied to other drug types, especially those "over-the-counter" drugs such as paracetamol, and their associations with urban areas. Should such a hypothesis be true, there might be a need for different preventive strategies for poisoning in different geographic locations. While this is logical, it requires substantiating evidence.
The aim of this study was to investigate whether there was any association between type of poison and geographic location for different age groups and sex.
This population based epidemiological study was conducted in New South Wales (NSW), Australia. The study utilised statewide hospitalisation data that are part of the Inpatient Statistics Collection (ISC), routinely collected by the NSW Department of Health.18 The data obtained from the ISC consisted of one full calendar year of hospital admission information in 2000. New South Wales is the largest state in Australia with an estimated population of about 6.5 million in 2000. Among these, about 1.76 million (27%) were children and adolescents aged 0–19 years.
Subjects included in this study were children and adolescents, aged 0–19 years, admitted to hospital because of poisoning in 2000. These patients were identified from the ISC data bank if they had a primary diagnosis of poisoning according to the International Classification of Diseases, 9th revision, clinical modification (ICD-9-CM).19 Patients with diagnostic classifications ranging from 960.00 to 989.90 were included in the study.
Unidentified information on individual patients who were admitted to a NSW hospital because of poisoning within the study period was obtained from the NSW Department of Health. This information included age, sex, residential postcode, ICD-9-CM diagnostic classification of admitting problems, length of stay in hospital, and the outcome of hospitalisation, namely died or survived.
Poison types were classified according to the ICD-9-CM classification system, with ICD codes ranging from 960.0 to 979.9 as poisoning by drugs, medicinal and biological substances, and codes ranging from 980.0 to 989.9 as the toxic effects of non-medicinal substances. In this study, a special focus was placed on four major types of medicinal and non-medicinal substances. These four types of substances were identified in the literature as most commonly responsible for accidental poisoning among children and adolescents. They were (1) analgesics, antipyretics, and antirheumatics; (2) psychotropic drugs; (3) venom of snakes, spiders, and insects; and (4) chemicals including organophosphates, pesticides, insecticides, organic solvents, and corrosive and caustic agents.
The geographic location for each individual patient was classified according to the residential postcode. According to the NSW health areas system, the state is divided into nine greater metropolitan health areas and eight rural health regions. Each health area and region covered distinct geographical and postal regions. Hence, the residential postcode could be used as an indicator as to whether the patient belonged to a greater metropolitan health area or a rural health region. A broad classification of "metropolitan" and "rural" was used to designate the place of poisoning. Data on the estimated population size by ages and postcodes for the year 2000 were obtained from the Australian Bureau of Statistics.20
Since the aim of the study was to investigate whether there is any association between poison types and geographic locations for different age groups and sex, the focus of data analysis was on comparisons of hospitalisation rates between metropolitan and rural areas for different poison types stratified by age and sex. Standardised incidence ratios and their corresponding 95% confidence intervals were calculated by age, sex, geographic locations, and poison types according to the method described by Rothman and Greenland.21 The standardised mortality ratios by age, sex, and geographic locations were also calculated.
There were 2516 children and adolescents, aged 0–19 years, admitted to hospital because of poisoning in NSW in 2000 (table 1). Of these, 1696 were poisoned by one of the four major types of substance defined above. This represented the majority (67.4%) of total annual hospitalisations because of poisoning for the same age range in NSW. The results are summarised in table 2. Of these 1696 admissions, adolescents aged 15–19 years accounted for half of the hospitalisations (n = 944, 55.7%) with females having a rate of hospitalisation (392.1/100 000 population) three times that of males (130.3/100 000 population). Among children under the age of 15 years, the 0–4 years age group was most at risk of poisoning with the highest rates of hospitalisation for both boys and girls (boys: 93.5/100 000 population, girls: 90.3/100 000 population) compared with other age groups. The total hospitalisation rate for females was higher than that of males with 120.0 and 74.1/100 000 population, respectively. Poisoning by analgesics, antipyretics, and antirheumatics type accounted for the highest frequency (n = 730) with 519 (71.1%) incidences caused by paracetamol and related pain killers. This was followed by psychotropic drugs with 590 (34.8%) admissions to hospitals. Among these admissions, 218 (36.9%) were antidepressant related and 157 (26.6%) were related to benzodiazepine based tranquillisers. The majority of hospitalisations occurred in metropolitan areas (n = 1213, 71.6%). In terms of morbidity and mortality, the majority stayed in hospitals for fewer than four days (n = 1580, 93.2%), and there were 98 deaths (5.8%) caused by poisoning from the four major types of poisons in NSW in 2000.
To further elucidate the relationship between different poison types and age and sex, poison types were cross tabulated by age groups and sex. Table 3 presents the results of poison types by age groups and sex. There was a significant association between poison types and age groups (χ29 = 517.6, p<0.001) with analgesics more related to the 0–4 and 15–19 years groups. Psychotropic drugs tended to be associated with those aged 15–19 years, venoms with those 5–9 years, and chemicals with those 0–4 years. The association between poison types and sex varied across different age groups. There was no significant association between types of poison and sex for children younger than 10 years. On the other hand, significant associations between poison types and sex were found for both those aged 10–14 years (χ23 = 59.4, p<0.001) and 15–19 years (χ23 = 44.3, p<0.001). Significantly higher proportions of females in both age groups tended to be admitted to hospital because of analgesics poisoning than males, whereas more males tended to be admitted because of venom poisoning (table 3).
The results on the standardised incidence ratios for metropolitan and rural hospitalisations and different poison types stratified by age and sex were tabulated (table 4). The standardised incidence ratio of poisoning related hospitalisation between metropolitan and rural areas compared with the NSW average, varied across different poison types. There were few differences between metropolitan and rural areas for analgesic and chemical related poisoning admissions across different age groups and sex. However, differences in standardised incidence ratios between geographic locations for psychotropic and venom related poisoning admissions were noted (table 4). The standardised hospitalisation rates for rural regions were significantly higher than the NSW average for both poison types across most age groups and sex.
In terms of the outcome of hospitalisation, there was an association between poison type and length of stay in hospital with a higher proportion of those poisoned by analgesics staying more than three days compared with other poison types (χ23 = 28.1, p<0.001). Among those who were poisoned by analgesics, all children less than 10 years stayed less than four days in the hospital, whereas 12.4% of 15–19 years stayed more than three days. In terms of mortality, comparisons of the standardised mortality ratios for both metropolitan and rural areas across different age groups and sex indicated that there was no significant difference for most age and sex subgroups, except for females of the 10–14 year old group (table 4).
This study aimed to test the hypothesis that there is an association between poison types and geographic locations across different age groups and sex. The results obtained in this study do not provide strong evidence to refute the hypothesis. In fact, different conclusions can be drawn from the results according to different poison types.
Of the four different poison types examined in this study, there were no significant differences in the standardised incidence ratios of hospitalisation between metropolitan and rural areas, when compared to the NSW average, for two types, analgesics and chemicals. These two are the major types of medicinal and non-medicinal substances that are associated with most incidences of poisoning.10,14 On the other hand, significant differences in standardised incidence ratios of hospitalisation between metropolitan and rural areas across nearly all age groups and sex were observed for psychotropic drugs and venom poisoning. For these two particular types of substance, the results provide some evidence to support the hypothesis.
In referring to the basic assumption of the hypothesis that the association between poison type and geographic location is based on accessibility and exposure, one would expect hospitalisations caused by chemical related and venom related poisoning to be more prevalent in rural areas. The results obtained on venom seem to provide support to the hypothesis that children and adolescents in rural areas are more exposed to insects, spiders, and snakes and hence have a higher chance of being bitten and require hospitalisation. However, the results obtained on chemical related poisoning do not support the hypothesis. In interpreting this particular result, one may speculate that children and adolescents are exposed to chemicals similarly in both metropolitan and rural areas, thus the chances of poisoning are also similar. This requires further investigation into the degree of exposure in both areas. The same argument can also apply to analgesics.
The results obtained on psychotropic medication, that would require a prescription from a medical practitioner according to the law in NSW, are unexpected and interesting. The standardised incidence ratios of hospitalisations due to psychotropic drug poisoning are consistently larger in rural areas and significantly different from the state average across nearly all age groups and sex. Should the assumption of exposure for the hypothesis under testing be true, the results on psychotropics suggest that there are greater exposures to this type of medicinal substances especially among children in the rural areas of NSW than their metropolitan counterparts. This may probably be due to many different factors, as suggested by some researchers, that include greater availability, different parental attitudes towards poisonous substances, poorer home design, and a lack of information resources and education.10 Due to the lack of information on the prescriptions of psychotropic medications in NSW for both metropolitan and rural areas, the assertion of such an interpretation is difficult. The result obtained for 15−19 year olds showing that the standardised incidence ratios of hospitalisation is significantly larger than the state average only for rural females, seems to suggest the possibility of intentional self harm via psychotropic medications. There is some supportive evidence showing that psychotropic medications are the most common substances of choice for suicide and self harm among females in Australia.22 It could also be possible that the higher rate of hospitalisation is associated with accidental overdose of antidepressive medications. It has also been suggested that the prevalence of depression is much higher in rural areas, especially among females, than in urban areas.23 However, because of the lack of information on the intention of these poisoning incidents, it is difficult to determine the reason for the differences in hospitalisation rates.
The results obtained on the association between poison types and age are consistent with previous studies mentioned in the introduction. It has been recognised that the age difference in different types of poisoning is mainly due to the differences in developmental characteristics between children and adolescents.14,15 For example, poisoning in children under the age of 5 is most likely to be accidental but most likely to be deliberate in older adolescents. This is partially reflected in the results found on the length of stay and age group among those poisoned with analgesics. The lengthier stay in hospitals for adolescents, reflecting a more serious condition, may probably be due to intentional self harm. The results of this study further suggest that accessibility and exposure to different poisons may interact with age in determining the occurrence of poisoning incidents. This requires further investigation.
There are practical implications of the results obtained from this study. Given the love of outdoor activities in Australia, especially in rural areas, and the well known danger of some Australian snakes and spiders, the finding of this study is of particular importance. Due to the higher chances of exposure to wild animals, snakes and insects in the rural areas, greater attention should be paid in providing education and information to rural children and adolescents in the identification as well as proper handling of these creatures. Appropriate safety devices should be installed to protect against venomous insects, spiders, and snakes in homes and schools. Further investigations are urgently needed to examine risk factors for the increased risk of hospitalisations caused by psychotropic medication poisoning among rural children. The issue of availability of these medications in rural areas may be associated with prescription practices and also requires urgent examination.
Several limitations have been identified in this study. First, data utilised in this study are confined to hospitalisation only. Due to the lack of coordinated data collection mechanism for emergency presentations in NSW, data on emergency presentation of poisoning incidents are not available. The results obtained represent the more severe cases of poisoning. Second, there may be potential bias due to misclassification of poison cases. This is a very common source of bias in studies that utilise population based vital statistical data such as hospitalisation and death. The quality of data used in this study can, to a certain degree, be assured because they have been collected via a standardised mechanism and have used well trained medical information personnel. Nevertheless, misdiagnosis may still occur in cases of multiple drugs poisoning or poisoning due to substances not easily identified at the time of admission. Under-reporting may occur if these cases are misdiagnosed, and biased estimation of risk will result. In relation to this is the misclassification of the geographic location since it is classified by the residential postcode of the patient. It could be possible that urban children and adolescents were admitted to rural hospitals, especially for venom related poisoning. These patients could have resided in urban areas, but were bitten by snakes, spiders, or other insects in rural areas and hence were admitted to rural hospitals. However, due to the lack of information on these cases, it is difficult to estimate the impact of this potential bias on the overall risk calculation. Third, there is potential bias in the possibility of differential admission rates between urban and rural hospitals. It would be possible that urban hospitals, due to their larger capacities and having designated children's facilities, are more likely to admit young patients than rural hospitals. Should this be true, the equal hospitalisation rates of poisoning among children would become significant. Fourth, there is also potential bias in the calculation of standardised incidence ratios and standardised mortality ratios. The calculations of these two parameters and their corresponding 95% confidence interval in this study are based on the assumption of an underlying unbiased Poisson distribution probability model.21 As discussed above, the lack of information on the levels of exposure to different poison types may have constituted a bias to the study. The results obtained in this study may have been over or under-estimated.
Key points
There is some evidence for an association between poison type and geographic location for psychotropic and venom related poisoning.
There is also a need to examine risk factors for increased risk of poisoning caused by psychotropic medications among rural children.
There is an urgent need to provide education and information to rural children and adolescents in the identification and proper handling of insects, spiders, and snakes.

I love the fix because its adjustable. I have a small wrist and this works well. I dislike that the metal part which says Brave gets so easily scratched and scuffed up.
Sadly I purchased this item and it was way to small for my wrist. It looks like it is made for a child r very small adult! I have a medium sized wrist and My fingers touch when wrapped around wrist. I do not have long fingers either.

AFTER spending six weeks looking for a place to call home I have a few words for some landlords. In the words of Aussie DIYers, "You're dreaming mate - dreaming".
I find it hard to believe it has taken us so long to find the perfect place to settle into. Maybe we are fussy!
But it's never taken us so long before. Maybe it was because we long for a good bath to soak away those hours of hard work at the end of the day. Or maybe we just expect too much, like a nice home.
I'm sure about one thing though, some landlords need a shake up.
From unreasonable rental charges to places that need massive makeovers, we found it a few nail-biting weeks as we searched for a dwelling. In a city, you can expect to pay exorbitant rents but in a smaller town rents should be slightly cheaper.
That was one of the reasons for us deciding on moving to the mighty Wairarapa - that along with employment opportunities.
I can't believe what some landlords are asking, though.
One landlord, who showed us through more than two of her empty rental properties, left me gobsmacked. We were ready to sign for a two-bedroom property only a stone's throw from work when she explained we'd be facing an annual rent hike of $10 a week.
I don't think so, was my reply. Doesn't she realise this is why she has more than two empty homes? This person is losing thousands of dollars every month and the properties are still empty since we viewed them over a month ago.
I don't know many employees who are offered a $520 annual pay rise to meet such a rent increase. It's ludicrous. Our last rental we lived in for nearly four years - we never once faced a rent rise. Our landlord knew the value of good tenants and treated us as such.
Isn't it more economical to keep your good tenant than have to go through regularly searching for new ones? Isn't it better to be getting some money towards the mortgage rather than zilch?
And wouldn't it be better for security to have people living in your investment than it sitting empty for vandals to wreck? Honestly, if you want good hard-working tenants then you need to be a good landlord as well.
Good tenants are difficult to find and if you want them to stay then be fair. For us - we just can't wait to move into our new rental and make it our home for a very long time, thanks to our property manager.

Basement foamboard help/questions
Hello. I live in GA and I am looking at finishing my dry basement. When I bought the house I had the builder frame the basment for me and run the electrical. Now that I see the benefits of foamboard I am having problems trying to glue it on the walls. The distance of the framing to the concrete is only an 1" in most areas. I have tried using the 3/4" foamboard but I had to cut it in half for it to fit between the framing studs. After I put the glue on the board I could not get the foamboard through the studs without the glue coming off on the studs since it was so tight trying to squeeze it through the studs. Are there any other alternatives outside of tearing the framing down and putting up the foamboard? I have talked to a few other local people and they are saying as long as my wall is dry to just but up faced batts and as long as it isn't touching the concrete I will be fine. Is this true? Thanks for any advice.
Can you put the glue on the wall? You mite have to cut your panels narrower, into thirds. Lots more seams to tape but... Lines of glue towards left edge, hold left side of panel out, right against wall, slide over, push left side in, right out, squirt glue in along right.You really only need enuff glue to hold panel snug to wall. If you got bad bow out towards center of panel, could poke a hole use a bent wire or flat metal to pull the panel out some and squirt glue in, then tape hole.at least you have some space, some still nail frame or furring directly to wall with foam between studs some do put up the foam and then nail thru to wall, punching nice holes thru the barrier. Mite have to cut panels shorter too. You may be down there a while.
Sure woulda been nice to have wider space, it would also help in insulating basement. Your panels, impervious panels right? are more of a moisture barrier than insulation. Once you got that up all nice and snug and taped you put unfaced bats between the studs. That's your insulation. The more space behind studs the thicker bat can be, they shouldn't touch the foam panels. No vapor barrier on inside or outside of stud wall. You do not want to trap moisture between the outer and inner walls or inside inner wall. Then cover with dry wall. If you are going to panel wall, mud over nails/screws, but don't tape joints, prime and 1 qwick coat paint.
Idea is, panels resist outside moisture, inside moisture can pass from room thru wall, but can also pass back instead of getting trapped.
The adhesive pattern keeps the air from the concrete wall: http://joneakes.com/jons-fixit-database/743
The thickness of foamboard is important for dew-point condensation but needs to be vapor permeable; http://www.greenbuildingadvisor.com/...apor-retarders
What is your Zone? http://publicecodes.cyberregs.com/ic..._11_par002.htm
Thanks for the responses. I'm in zone 3A. I will try to cut the foamboard into 1/4 pieces and see if that works easier for glueing. My wall is 9 1/2 feet tall, do I need to go all the way to the top? Lastly, in some of the corners the framing is right on the wall. What can I do about that since foamboard won't fit in there?
The framing should not touch the walls anywhere. If it does, it needs to be removed and correctly reinstalled.
jay, foam hasto completly cover wall, all the way to top, bottom, side to side, no gaps, no holes, no open seams, caulk or spray foam arond any pipes, wires etc. Otherwise its like closing a window on a cold day but leaving the door open.
md sed it,"The framing should not touch the walls anywhere." Not only can you not get foam back there, the frame itself acts as a conductor of temperature and moisture. The frame should not touch foam, insulation in frame should not touch foam. You want an air gap between basement wall and interior FOAM wall. This is not same as any air gap between foam and basement and serves different purpose. ideally there is no gap between foam and concrete but..., proper adhesive pattern does not keep air from wall, it prevents air from circulating top to bottom causing condensation on structural wood members. Over stating the case, we don't care how much air or moisture is behind foam, just so long as it doesn't get into room or con dense on anything it could damage, like wooden structural members.
The foam should NOT be vapor permiable, we are trying to keep water vapor fro coming thru basement wall and into basement.
GBR, let's you and me re-read that 2nd link, the "News story#2: basement walls don't need to dry to the interior" part, I mighta missed something and at 1st glance it seems to contradict it self. But here's the main part, the artical starts by quoting Dr.Lstiburek, THE expert and author of THE book, ""It is important that interior insulation ... [on basement walls] be... vapor permeable)" But way down at bottom it says, ' Lstiburek now says that the advice he gave in the Builder's Guide was wrong. Lstiburek said, "I made a mistake. It's OK for the concrete to be wet. The concrete doesn't have to dry to the inside."
The idea of permeable barrier was that the concrete had to be dry, you had to get the water out of the concrete wall. But author of article made a good point, other side of wall is soil, full of moisture, without a vapor barrier the wall just wicks the moisture out of soil and into basement. The only way to prevent that is barrier on outside of wall. Without an interior barrier basement wall is trying to suck intire earth dry and pump the water into basement.
jay like I sed B4, tape every one of those seams between panels. I don't wanna have to come all the way over to your place for a drink after your basement sucked the earth dry.
Thanks of the helpful advice. This really sucks because just looking at my basement it seems that I have to remove all of the pre-existing studs and move the electrical in order to get the foamboard behind it and the corners off the wall. I cannot believe the builder framed so close to the wall and that foamboard is the only good way to prevent moisture. More money, jeez.
I'd forgotten about that electrical. Exactly what do you mean? Conduit or wiring directly on basement walls or in framing? Course we now know it can't be on walls. If there is enuff room behind your new frame to get fastening tool back there, run and fasten wiring other utilities on back side instead of in frame. If insulation is no thicker than frame you won't have slice and poke it around wiring. Without hiring tiny little guys with tiny little tools i can't see how you'd get back there. Depending on how much space you're willing to give up,you could leave a narrow work gallery behind there. Maybe a strip of thin plywood fastened to side of stud, projecting back a bit, with hole in that end for wire.
"... cannot believe the builder framed so close to th'e wall..." There's still some just fastening furring strips to basement wall, then plastic sheeting foam or furring over sheet or foam, poking nice holes thru it. Many still think that foam is primarily acting as thermel insulation. Foam is not the only good way, but here it is easiest effective way. imagine how non easy some of the others would be. More money? Where? Oh, I see.
R-5 continuous or footnote "f"- none, depends on location: http://publicecodes.cyberregs.com/ic..._11_sec002.htm
Sorry to confuse anyone as I was... my thought I was trying to bring across was the thickness of foam is important to limit condensation in the cavity; if not thick enough, the framing/cavity insulation will get wet from excessive basement humidity. The air space behind cavity insulation (air permeable- fiberglass, cellulose, etc) will negate some of the R-value unless the air is PERFECTLY still (requires sill-sealer under the existing mudsill). Remember to fire-stop walls (spaces between foam board/framing) every 10' of length and to the floor cavities above per code; http://publicecodes.cyberregs.com/ic...002_par017.htm
Poly sheeting adhered to the concrete could work but use foam board to cover or you may still get condensation from the basement air on it. "A" here; http://www.buildingfoundation.umn.ed...jectReview.htm
I wouldn't use foil-faced polyiso because the foil may react to the alkali (and deteriorate) in newer concrete releasing it from the glue still attached to the concrete wall (I'm still researching that point). Then you would have unfaced polyiso that absorbs 7-1/2 times more water than XPS. Your R-value would quickly go south as in Table #7: https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&q...4EyM707m0gPdXQ
I'd be concerned the water would wick/gravity down and puddle under the framing adding mold. Maybe not, per BSC ; page 60- if thick enough to warm cavity above dew-point with any wood framing; http://www.buildingscience.com/docum...study-analysis Also, polyiso is on pages 37, 40, 53 and 57. The faced PIC behind XPS would be problem free in my book, personally.
You for sure want to keep all basement air from the concrete, Wall#3, page9-14 here, XPS did well; http://www.eceee.org/conference_proc..._1/p1_27/paper

Cover story: Administration & management
How green is your valley?
In November 2005, the International Society of Arboriculture's journal published "Effects of Street Tree Shade on Asphalt Concrete Pavement Performance."
Published by the U.S. Forest Service, the 90-page Midwest Community Tree Guide provides everything you need to know to make the most of your community's resources for green assets: a glossary of terms; how, when, and where to plant trees for minimal negative impact on sidewalks, roads, and curbs; and tables that list annual benefits and costs of species at five-year intervals for 40 years after planting.
The guide uses another Forest Service tool - the Stratum module from the free www.itreetools.org suite of software - to estimate costs related to existing assets.
Cover story: Administration & management
Asking price
Reverse auctions were all the rage before the recession, but then - nothing. What happened?
Once the date and time have been set, the third-party facilitator conducts practice bids during a 30-minute online training session with potential bidders.
At the auction's designated time, bidders log on to the facilitator's Web site and begin bidding. They submit several quotes over a predetermined time period.
A bid decrement, the smallest amount by which a participant may lower a bid, is shared with participants. "We don't want 1 cent reductions," says Cindy Sisloff, vice president of operations for BidBridge, which uses one-quarter of 1% of the budgeted amount.
In some cases the client provides a bid ceiling based on the department's budget, but only if the buyer is trying to beat the state contract price.
"We try to bring as much competition to the table as possible within the buyer's parameters," Sisloff explains.
The clock resets itself for three additional minutes if a bidder lowers the price within the last three minutes. This continues until no new bids are submitted. Most auctions take less than an hour to complete.

Montreal's packed summer festival calendar just got a little easier to figure out. Festimania, a new collective and comprehensive website dedicated to helping everyone get the most out of this city's festivals, gives us the goods on each festival – and gives us free stuff too with the Festipass+…
Since there are so many shows to see at Montreal festivals in July and August, sometimes making the choice of what to see and what to skip can be a daunting task. The information umbrella of Festimania takes a lot of the guesswork out, providing detailed descriptions of shows, breaking down the biggest festivals by date and show type, and serving as a one-stop-shop for buying tickets.
The festivals covered by Festimania include Montreal Complètement Cirque (July 5-15), Just for Laughs Festival and Zoofest (throughout July), L'International des Feux Loto-Québec (June 30-August 3), Osheaga (August 3-5), Festival International Nuits d'Afrique (July 10-22), MEG (July 26-August 5). Montreal First People's Festival (July 31-August 8), Fantasia International Film Festival (July 19-August 7), Montreal Fashion and Design Festival (August 1-4) and Divers/Cité (July 30-August 5).
Maybe the best thing about Festimania, aside from seemingly endless entertainment possibilities, is the Festipass+, a free (yes, free!) pass that all kinds of benefits, including free admission to certain shows, VIP zones and discounts on tickets, food and merchandise at Just For Laughs, Zoofest, Fantasia, Nuits d'Afrique and more.
The pass can be picked up in person at La Vitrine or ordered online or by phone – and it's absolutely worth getting, even if a free pass for a multitude of free things sounds too good to be true.


text: New to Chevy/GMC vans but my tool shop needs a van. I am buying a 2005 GMC 10'Box van like at Uhaul. I need/want a front hitch. I live in the mountains and use a light snow plow that mounts in a receiver. I can find front hitches for 2003 and back but nothing newer. I like some of the brush guards and may adapt to one too. Short of making a custom bumper does anyone know the part number or have pictures of the mounts? The van is needed mostly to pick up tools and Snow Chains. During the winter I would have either the plow or my winch on the front. Getting stuck or moving other stuck cars is common for the delivery trucks driving in the winter. I have never been stuck but who knows. If I should avoid the 05 vans I can still get an 04 but not much earlier.

Red Sox Manager Bobby Valentine sat down with Dave O'Brien on today's manager's show
Transcript - Not for consumer use. Robot overlords only. Will not be accurate.
Okay John thank you very much the road trip continues for the Boston Red Sox three here against the Seattle Mariners. And Bobby I gotta ask you about this because several people kind of did that in the great big presser before you and I set down. Somebody asked you about a breakfast with John Henry this morning in Seattle gets it down. I'm so glad everyone so concerned about me eating breakfast then you know whether what I do under today it's. It's great that that happened yet so I was on the West Coast on his way back to Boston he has come in here for the game and yes we did have breakfast and no we didn't wanna stay until afterwards and have dinner so. So that that was it and if you -- low so what you had for breakfast denotes a big meal for you and I hand over -- steel mail it to great low. -- -- show up we get to go to Villanova noon live martz here in town -- forget the name and I've been noted before though it's Kennedy. Obviously a brutal series there in Oakland in the final tally was a 28 run differential which I believe is the worst for the Red Sox. In a three game series in the history. Of of the club. When that's over and you digested. What are your thoughts coming into the Seattle series. Who -- -- over when Newhan starting today please on the mound in. You're gonna hope to have a lead before. Before long and then however. Our at bats feel more relaxed it's not fun playing when you're behind and and that's something that they think -- Gonna try to put a stop to. That has been a season long problem I believe the first inning ERA the Red Sox a six point. 78. No one needs to tell you -- playing from behind has been a season long issue. What do you put your finger on it now as we're in this September and you say oh that's the reason why that's consistently happened. How come that's happened for the fan at home was says you know I'm tired just like Bobby is being down to a three to nothing. -- obviously if I had an answer for that they hear it you know if you find the couldn't cure for cancer you make sure that no -- -- gets and again and we'll try to figure out we've got a few more games here in the month of play and if we do will make sure it's not situation going into next season. Sticking with that for just the moment is it a question of preparedness in the bullpen. We're not being prepared coming into that first inning of playing giving up those runs consistently. Is it that an embarrassing concept to think that professional. Baseball players who are paid to pitch once every six days or five days. Aren't prepared properly -- I don't think that's the case -- think. When. You know Gary tuck and earlier Bob McClure stood there watching guys warm up and now. -- -- and Randy Neiman watching guys warm up they say they have great bullpen sessions. They looked terrific you know matches -- -- him a terrific in his bullpen session. But I usually ask them become NCL all pitches are working and you know the name of the hitters are absolutely that we go over -- for the game without a doubt. -- and as a catcher notes going on yes they do so I guess that's what preparation -- You know I moment terrorist but he is someone even you know using that word but I guess it's something that has to -- Colorado and I think it's bogus. I think I think it is because when you're looking I mean it's that the question of preparedness is one that I think anyone would naturally raised. When the ERA is so a lot of whacked the interest evening is in the second inning. The Red Sox have one of the best the are raised in the -- so it flips through the at least it does enough that it reflects on the numbers. I guess to become more prepared for the second inning and -- for the first. I I don't know and I guess it's a mystery for everybody is that because you don't have an answer for it. Randy doesn't have an answer for Bob McCord and have an answer for neither is Gary tuck. Exactly and you know like I say -- seven pops -- mind and and it comes other than me you know these. As they say those blanket words hey I know like as they were prepared or that. Whatever that one word is that's an easy answer for difficult questions. Once we get the biblical answer. Will solve. Well -- time for our Mercedes-Benz question of the day Carpenter is here today know as we speak given an opportunity to sit down with -- -- but. How do you anticipate using this young man for the rest of the season. You know and -- really stand he's here to dated. And provide a submitted an inning if needed you know and once we get through this needs situation later you know we were trying to keep arms healthy and pitch guys. When we need to pitch him and we -- -- tomorrow we wanna pitch him. He'll pitch one innings hopefully against some right handers hit -- handers to start. Didn't lose to them show what he can do reports on -- it. -- thanks to Bobby Valentine lets toss it back to John rash.

-My opinion about this hotel HLG Porto MagnoHUGUETTE - 24 Sep 2012
Good 4x hotel . Well maintained during many years.
Nice helpful staff. Regretfully this little part of Spain very authentic has been also discovered by the mass cheap tourisme. Hopefully this will not go the same way as Torremolinos. It would be such a shame!

I am the founder and CEO of SilkStart.
See http://danielchu.wordpress.com/bio for more details about me.
We founded SilkStart because we learned that over 95% of the entrepreneurs never manage to meet the right investors who can support their dreams; thus, their dreams are crashed and burned because of that -- we want to stop this from happening!
Entrepreneurs, investors, service providers (lawyers, accountants, business consultants, and etc.), and everyone else (technology geeks, interns, students, and etc.).
The name SilkStart comes from the Silk Road in China. Silk Road is the first trading road between China and Europe. SilkStart aims to create that first efficient road among investors, entrepreneurs and service providers to jumpstart the entire industry.
Please see http://www.silkstart.com for our brand color (we don't want to change the brand color unless there's a compelling reason to).
Green = vibrant, community, openness, fun, collaborative
Blue = credibility, partnership
We believe that is what a right connection feels like!
However, right now, the logo doesn't really communicate this message.
Also the current logo looks very disproportional (right is much heavier than left).

The Paul G. Allen Foundation for Medical Research has committed $3.2 million for research at the University of Washington into the causes of and cures for prostatitis, a common but under-studied infection of the prostate gland.
The foundation will contribute approximately $552,000 annually for the next five years to underwrite research into prostatitis conducted by the UW School of Medicine's Department of Urology. The research is under the direction of Dr. Richard E. Berger, professor of urology. The balance of the funding will go toward laboratory renovations and equipment costs.
The UW has already completed a number of significant research projects on prostatitis, funded by more than $1 million in earlier contributions from the Microsoft co-founder and philanthropist.
UW President Richard L. McCormick expressed gratitude for the gift and cited the "remarkable support in many areas" that Paul Allen and the foundations he has created have provided at the University of Washington.
"This splendid gift continues and enhances the Allen Foundation's investment in medical research, an area of giving that has been very important to the University but one that many people did not know about," said McCormick.
"We are pleased to support the University's groundbreaking research efforts and we hope that in some significant way, our gift will help to conquer this disease," said Jody Allen Patton, executive director of the Allen Foundations.
"Past financial support from the Allen Foundation has already made the UW the leader in prostatitis research," said Berger. "We have made many exciting discoveries that will offer benefits for men with chronic prostatitis. This generous new support will enable us to significantly broaden our efforts."
Despite the prevalence of prostatitis, there has been limited research into the condition, which may be the most common urologic disease of young and middle-aged men. Research has focused on the other maladies of the prostate: benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH or enlarged prostate) and prostate cancer. Many men with BPH have symptoms of prostatitis as well.
Estimates are that up to 50 percent of men will experience symptoms of prostatitis in their lifetimes. Symptoms can be varied and severe, including genital and bladder pain, inflammation, urinary problems, and perhaps infertility. While it is often dismissed as a minor condition, the decline in quality of life with prostatitis is similar to that experienced with congestive heart failure, according to UW research. Prostatitis is frequently difficult to diagnose, and causes are usually not clear. The various bacteria known to cause it often become resistant to antibiotics.
Research directions with the new funding will include studies of the microbiology and molecular biology of prostatic tissue, development of diagnostic tests and treatment protocols, studies of host resistance factors that may cause susceptibility to infection, epidemiologic studies, and studies to determine any relationships to BPH and prostate cancer.
The Paul G. Allen Foundation for Medical Research promotes medical research in a variety of disciplines, including biochemistry, biomedical engineering, virology, immunology, cell and molecular biology, pharmacology and genetics.

Three years ago the Detroit Lions traded up for the sparkplug they had been lacking since Barry Sanders. California Golden Bear Jahvid Best dropped to pick 30 in the 2010 NFL draft because of durability concerns. Concussions had plagued the tiny track star in his collegiate career, but his skill was salivating enough for the Lions to take a chance. After gaining over a thousand yards from scrimmage with six touchdowns while dealing with a lingering turf toe injury in his rookie season, Best's feet caught fire early in 2011. In weeks 1 and 2 the multi-purpose back combined for 237 yards and 2 touchdowns, and in week 5 he gave us his most memorable game yet. Jahvid Best (Photo Credit: AP) In the Lions' return to Monday Night Football against the division rival Chicago Bears Best broke away uncontested for 88 yards to paydirt which gave the team an 11 point cushion in the 3rd quarter. The run became the 2nd longest in franchise history and led to securing the team's first 5-0 start since 1980. However, tragedy would soon strike. The week following Best's finest performance he would go onto amass over a hundred yards for the final time in a heartbreaking loss to the 49ers, 25-19. After the game the Lions revealed Best was feeling concussion-like symptoms. The wooziness proved to be Best's 2nd concussion of the year, but this time his recovery was highly questionable.To this day we wait for Best to be cleared again, but this is one battle worth a Lions' loss. At this point Jahvid's well-being is at stake, and no game should jeopardize a life. The Detroit Lions cut their tailback on Wednesday. Jahvid Best (Photo Credit: AP) The team's recent struggles can be correlated to the loss of Best as it has posted a disappointing 9-22 record since his last down. Recent acquisition, Reggie Bush, will try to pick up Best's blazing torch and run the Lions back into contender relevancy. While Bush is elusive with good speed, he lacks the elite bolt to the hole Best provided and is four years his senior in a young back's league. Best possessed a new-era type quickness demonstrated by the likes of contemporary speedsters Jamaal Charles and Chris Johnson who have gone on to post quite impressive numbers. Sadly, we only got to see Best at his best a few times in his plagued career with Detroit. Fans held out hope for more than a year waiting and wishing for Jahvid to return better than ever. It's a shame respectable runs often end sooner than we'd like them too, even to the best of us.

|90 Gallon Riparium for Single Oscar
|My first Attempt at a Riparium, a tank for my oscar.
This is a temporary tank that I had at my moms that I set up as a home for my oscar who outgrew his 20 gallon. Unsure of my old apartment building's ability to withstand the weight of a 90 gallon, as well as my old tank's ability to hold water, I decided to fill it halfway, opting to fill the top portion with plants.
