Beer and Cheer: Elysian Bifrost Winter Ale
Elysian Bifrost Winter Ale pours a golden color, with a head that is as thick, fluffy and bouncy as a cozy homemade blanket - or a foot-high bank of Christmas snow.
The bubbles go deep and rise slowly, like a Guinness, and the frothy top is so thick, it can be molded into different shapes, like a bubble bath or whipped cream.
Also interesting is that the Bifrost - a word that refers to a mythological rainbow bridge made of fire, air and water, according the Seattle-based Elysian Brewing -- is simply an IPA, albeit, a creamy one that beautifully balances lightly bitter (Target) hops with gently sweet malt (pale, Munich and Crystal).
And even though it's an Elysian beer, Bifrost is brewed in Colorado by New Belgium.

There's a chance the New York Giants may decide to let defensive end Justin Tuck hit the free agent market if he continues to play at a sub par level the way he has over the past two seasons.
While Tuck turned things on during the Giants Super Bowl title run in 2011, he played poorly for most of the season. And in 2012 he failed to show up at all.
Tuck has only recorded 9 total sacks over the past two regular seasons. If 2013 looks like 2011 and 2012, I'd almost bet the Giants let Tuck walk.

control arm
Im trying to remove the bushings on the control arms. I have a press just cant seam to get them out.is there a trick to this.Thanks mike
mount them in a vice. take the shafts out. use an air hammer with chissel bit to work them out.
If you want to use a regular "H" frame press, you need to block up the A-arm between the bushings. Otherwise the arm just collapses and puts a bind on the bushing.
Here is a pic from a ford manual showing the blocking setup. Chevy can use the same setup.
Here is a set of blocks for chevy a arms I made out of muffler tubing and some scrap steel., The U shaped blocks go in the channel section of the lowers to keep the end from squeezing the bushing.
The cup shaped things with the plate welded on is what you push the bushing into.
I've made those spreaders out of wood too..
You'll need the spreaders to help install the new bushings as well.
Later, mikey

Suicide Squeeze
The Sweetest Swing in Baseball is a comedy for smart people. Funny girl Neda Tavassoli playfully chews the scenery, portraying the plays protagonist, Dana Fielding, as a famous but paranoid artist who ends up in an institution after attempting suicide over a failed exhibition and the loss of her lover. Preferring her new, ordered world, she trades art lessons to fellow inmates for baseball stats so she can complete her transformation into Darryl Strawberry, the New York baseballer infamous for his own fall from grace.
So is it a compliment to tell a playwright shes a female version of Tennessee Williams, as some have done with Swing author Rebecca Gilman? No, asshole, its not, and we think Gilman would agree. A former Pulitzer Prize finalist, Gilman wrote The Sweetest Swing as a response to critics who pass easy judgment on those who sweat their art in full view of the public. Director Deborah Carrick of Arizona Womens Theatre Company, the producing troupe, says she appreciates Gilmans work because of its dark humor, lack of preachiness, and the sense that the story will continue on . . .

WOW you guys are brilliant. watching with interest.
Im going to rework the trigger design after looking at the build going on at weaponeer. I am going to use 1" sq steel tubing and 1/2"x1 1/2" aluminum flat to construct a closer looking trigger group. I got the rough drawings done tonite and ordered the metal from speedy metals. The trigger guard and grip mount will be machined from the aluminum which will in turn be bolted to the 1" sq tubing which will house the hammer, sear, and trigger assy.
I got started on the trigger group today.
got it together and testfired this evening. Feeds and ejects flawlessly with sticks or drums. I still have to fabricate the sights.

EACOM currently owns 9 sawmills and 2 value-added plants, in the provinces of Ontario, Quebec and Saskatchewan. The company has timber rights on approximately 8 million hectares of forest lands in Quebec and Ontario with annual harvesting rights of approx. 3.6 million cubic metres of softwood sawlogs with the capacity at the sawmills to produce about 900 million fbm of lumber annually.
Rick started working in the lumber industry at the age of 12. His father, Herb Doman wanted him to learn all the aspects of the business from sweeping floors to various operations to global sales.

Rick made it his primary goal to restructure the company and its significant debt load as well as preserve jobs in many forest dependent communities the company operated in. This was achieved in 2004 when the company successfully restructured its debts and preserved employment. It once again became a profitable entity and was renamed Western Forest Products. The company under his tenure employed approximately 4,000 people, harvested about 4.3 million cubic meters of logs, produced one billion board feet of lumber and 440,000 metric tonnes of pulp annually.
Rick left the company in late 2004 and went on to do forestry analysis work for various U.S investment funds. He then proceeded to start EACOM Timber Corporation in mid 2008.

• A computing system might fail because a component has failed. This could mean that the component's producer should be held accountable, or it could mean that the system integrator should be held accountable for deploying the component in an environment the producer never intended. In February 1991, a -Patriot missile battery was deployed in an environment its designers never anticipated when it was run continuously for 100 hours rather than 14 hours; the accumulated clock error left the system ineffective as an antimissile defense, with 28 dead and 98 injured as a result. Unless software components are accompanied by adequate descriptions (functional specifications as well as assumptions about the deployment environment, such as what threats can be tolerated), we can't assign blame for system failures that can be traced to component failures.
• Alternatively, a computing system might fail even if no component fails but nevertheless there are unacceptable (and surprising) emergent behaviors. A long tradition of such surprises exists in bridge design, including the Tacoma Narrows Bridge in Washington State and the Millennium Bridge in London. Moreover, correct behavior for bridges is generally well understood and relatively simple to state, as compared with correct behavior for nontrivial software systems. And unlike bridges, software typically isn't delivered with a paper trail documenting what the system is supposed to do (and not supposed to do), why the design should work, and what assumptions are being made.

Michigan vs. Detroit, vs. Eastern Michigan
U-M Soccer Stadium Ann Arbor, Mich.
Friday, Aug. 20: U-M vs. Detroit, 7 p.m. Buy Tickets | Live Stats
The University of Michigan women's soccer team (0-0-0, 0-0-0 Big Ten) will begin its 17th varsity season in its new home, the U-M Soccer Stadium. The Wolverines will inaugurate the brand new facility on Friday (Aug. 20) against Detroit at 7 p.m. Crosstown rival Eastern Michigan will come to town on Sunday evening (Aug. 22) for another 7 p.m. contest.
The U-M Soccer Stadium, which will be formally dedicated in a men's and women's doubleheader on Sept. 17, is the crowning jewel of the three-field, soccer-exclusive, U-M Soccer Complex. The $6 million facility, funded by Intercollegiate Athletics resources and gifts, has been home to the Wolverines since late in the 2008 season.
Denting the Twine -- The Wolverines return 73 percent of their offense from a year ago, despite losing top goal scorer Alex Jendrusch (2006-09). Senior Jackie Carron (Rochester Hills, Mich./Rochester) returns after notching a team-leading 10 points and six assists, while three-goal scorers sophomore Holly Hein (Castaic, Calif./West Ranch) and junior Kristen Goncalves (Ann Arbor, Mich./Gabriel Richard Catholic) top the list of returnees.
Hanging Up Zeroes -- The Wolverines return junior/sophomore Haley Kopmeyer (Troy, Mich./Lahser) and senior/junior Kristen Keane (Wheaton, Ill./Warrenville South), who combined to lead the Big Ten with 105 saves during the 2009 season. Kopmeyer was stellar during Big Ten play, pacing the league with 56 saves and a .862 save percentage. Kopmeyer's 95 stops on the season made her the first Wolverine to lead the conference in saves. Keane, who was the opening day starter in 2009, was honored with the Maize and Blue award for her team-oriented attitude.
Introducing the Captains -- Fifth-year senior Kylie Neschke (Still River, Mass./Tabor Academy), Jackie Carron and junior/sophomore Clare Stachel (Grand Rapids, Mich./Forest Hills Central) will captain the 2010 Wolverines. Neschke and Carron wear the honor for the second straight season, while Stachel holds the honor for the first time.
Summer Fun -- Jackie Carron spent much of the summer with the United States U-23 Women's National Team. Carron participated in a team camp at the The Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif., and traveled with the squad to Germany. Associate head coach Dean Duerst, who also participated with the U-23 team, was inducted into the Wisconsin Soccer Association Hall of Fame as part of the 2010 class. Junior/sophomores Haley Kopmeyer and Clare Stachel finished second at the United States Amateur Soccer Association Women's Under-23 National Cup with the Arizona Rush.
Quick Hits -- The last U-M opening-game victory came in 2002 with a 2-1 win over No. 13 Florida on the U-M Soccer Field ... Michigan's nine-member rookie class boasts five players with international experience ... The Big Ten Network is scheduled to televise Michigan's home game against Illinois (Oct. 31, 3 p.m.) and at Penn State (Nov. 7, 1 p.m.) live in high definition.
U-M in Season Openers - 5-6-5
U-M in Home Openers - 8-5-3
U-M at Home - 94-40-23
U-M at the U-M Soccer Complex - 5-3-4

Here's my take. As a former owner of a 238, I can attest that the gun is downright beautiful. It looks good, feels good, and shoots pretty well. But...mine was never reliable. It was repaired more than once, but I still never had a range session without failures of some kind. I know others have had quite the opposite experience, but that was mine.
Second, I was never quite comfortable carrying it with a round in the chamber and the safety on. Didn't like that extra step (taking it off safe) before the gun became functional, and I certainly wouldn't carry it with one in the chamber and the safety off. Likewise, I wouldn't carry a pistol where I had to rack the slide before I could fire it; just not practical.
I also own a bunch of other carry type guns, including two LCP's and a S&W Airweight. I wouldn't be too quick to sell the LCP short. First, its size and weight make it a gun you will carry. No need to dress around it. That's important. It doesn't matter how well a pistol works if it's at home. Second, it is utterly reliable---as reliable as anything made by man can be. Third, neither I nor my wife have any problem with the recoil. It's just not that big a deal.
So if you can't shoot one, watch someone else shoot one. I think you'll be surprised. If, after that, you still don't like the LCP, get the S&W Bodyguard. It's just better for its intended purpose, I think.
Oh, one more thing. Ruger has the best line of accessories, including hats, shirts, and stuff. I say this only half as a joke. I really do like their hats.:smile:

Which Fast Food Restaurant Carries The Fattest Meal?? | 3,540 CALORIES
According to the Center for Science in the Public Interest's annual Xtreme Eating Awards, the fattest fast-food meal in the U.S. is a Red Robin Monster Burger paired with "bottomless" fries and a Monster milkshake. At 3,540 calories, it's the single unhealthiest meal the group could find on more than 200 chain-restaurant menus it reviewed for the 2014 rankings. To work off that meal, you'd need to take a brisk walk for about 12 hours. While Red Robin earned the top spot on this year's list, the Cheesecake Factory took the most spots with three overall. Items from Famous Dave's, Chevys Fresh Mex and Joe's Crab Shack also made the list.

HMAS Pioneer
|HMAS Pioneer was originally built for the Royal Navy and from 1905 served on the Australia Station. On 1 March 1913 she was commissioned into the RAN.
The outbreak of war saw her as a guard ship at Melbourne. She was soon ordered to Fremantle and sailed for the west coast on 6 August 1914. While patrolling off Fremantle, the Pioneer subsequently captured the German merchant vessels Neumunster and Thuringen, which were unaware of the outbreak of war.
Although intended to be part of the escort of the first AIF convoy, which left Albany on 1 November 1914, Pioneer had to withdraw due to engine problems. On 9 January 1915 she departed Fremantle for German East Africa to take part in operations against the German cruiser SMS Koenigsberg, which had sought refuge up the Rufigi River The role of the British fleet gathered off East Africa was to prevent the Koenigsberg from breaking out of the river, and to prevent supplies being brought in by sea for either her, or the German forces ashore.
Koenigsberg was destroyed by British monitors on 12 July 1915 but Pioneer remained on station, continuing her blockade duties and bombarding targets ashore. Pioneer eventually returned to Australia in October 1916 and was paid off. She was sold in 1924 and scuttled off Sydney Harbour in 1931.
Pioneer, obsolete and decrepit, saw more actual combat than any other Australian ship in the First World War.

Date of Stay: July, 2016
We stayed at Pheasant Ridge for 3 weeks so the rate is the weekly rate. We found the office staff to be very friendly and helpful. The laundry facilities are great with many machines and very clean. The indoor pool is very nice and unique for the area. I differ from some other reviewers in thinking that there aren't more signs than at many other campgrounds. There's a nice lawn for playing with dogs but it is not fenced. The campground is very quiet and peaceful with nice trees. However, it is on a hill. The sites are nearly flat but are close together and there is no flat space for a table or chairs except for on the pad right next to the RV.
Date of Stay: April, 2016
We only had an overnight stay in this KOA so we didn't check out most amenities. The campground is easy on/off to I-95 but just far enough to to just barely hear hiway noise. The welcome in the office was extremely friendly. We were guided to our pull thru site which had great fast wifi and good cable TV service. The campsites are on dirt under trees. We would stay again.
Date of Stay: March, 2011
Park goes by name "Big Water Campground." We had been heading for Santee Lakes Campground that was in our directory as a Good Sam Park but ended up at this one. Not sure if they are the same park or if we just went to the wrong place. Campground appears to only have two other RVs and the facilities do look "tired." However, we're only here for the overnight and there are plenty of flat, pull-through sites here. Only complaint is the price which seems quite high for this season, and there are no discounts for any RV clubs.
Date of Stay: January, 2010
This is a small park with about half park models. There are views of the Myakka River. We didn't see the park's canoe/kayak river access but we didn't ask about it, either, since it was cold that week. There are no activities in the park (contrary to the park's website). The laundry room is nice. The park is clean and is located half-way between Venice and Port Charlotte. Except for the neighboring seafood restaurant, nothing else right near the park. The Venice beach is 30 minutes away. We would stay here in the future for an overnight but not a longer stay.
Date of Stay: January, 2010
We really like this park and find it as activity-filled and relaxing as being on a cruise. There are too many varied activities to list them all, I could hardly list them all...large heated pool, two nice hot-tubs, a huge wood shop, stained glass & jewelry workshops, all sorts of sports, huge workout room, exercise classes, yoga, karoake, trivia, bingo, maj jongg etc etc. The Resort is half park models and half RVs for a total of about 800 sites. The sites are pretty narrow and some parts of the huge park have very nice landscape while other (less expensive?) areas are fairly barren. Everybody is very friendly. The location is great - restaurants, shopping, beach, and all the Sarasota has to offer is 10 to 20 minutes drive from the park. It's near I-75 an hour from Tampa, 90 min from Fort Myers and within day trip distance to Walt Disney World and many other Florida sites. The natural beauty of Myakka River State Park is only 30 minutes away. The cable TV is good but the Wi-Fi doesn't seem too strong. We're staying 17 nights, this year, and are likely to come for 3 months next winter.
Date of Stay: October, 2009
We loved staying at this small peaceful RV Park. It's beautifully maintained and each site is tree-shaded but not so much that it's a problem getting the dish TV signal. There are about a dozen seasonal RVs and the rest stay a shorter time. The seasonals have returned year after year and are extremely friendly and inclusive. I had a great time playing cards with them two afternoon. All the seasonal campers and the owners take great pride in the upkeep of the campground. There is a huge pile of firewood to be used, I'm told, for daily campfires and to heat the campfire in the mid-sized recreation tent. I'm also told that they have lots of pot-lucks and other get-together. Each Saturday there is coffee and donuts. The only reason I didn't give this campground a 10 is that the website states it's on the Clear Creek - technically, it is on it but not without a walk to see it this time of the year. We will definitely camp here, again, when we are in this area.
Date of Stay: October, 2009
We really enjoyed this quaint KOA park. The spaces are fairly wide and there's nice landscaping including wildflowers, and a small waterfall and fountain in the gardens. All the electrical boxes and other functional features around the park are painted with local motifs and the outdoor cafe has multiple strings of colorful chili-lights which adds to the fun atmosphere of the park. The pool looked clean but we did not use it. The cafe serves free (yummy!) pancakes, coffee & tea for breakfast and offers other cafe fare throughout the day - including some tasty southwest dishes. The staff is exceptionally friendly. The night we arrived, there was a customer appreciation night with free food, drinks, and a live (very good and versatile) band. In the summer, we heard that they show movies on an outdoor bigscreen TV. We only spent one night but we will definitely camp there again the next time we return to Albuquerque.
Date of Stay: June, 2009
We have been here for one week and this is a really nice campground. The seasonal campers and the work-campers have been very friendly to us "overnighters". The little lake is beautiful with free use of the paddleboats and kayaks. There is a small beach with a raft. The water is still too cool for us but the kids tell us that it's great. On Fri, Sat & Sun, there are hay-rides. There's a 1/2 mile path around the lake that is great for walking or biking. There is only one drawback (which is my rating is 9 instead of 10) and that is the road noise from Highway 131. We're in one of the few (<30ft) sites available on the lake which is beautiful - the rest of the lake sites are seasonal campers. The wi-fi is great. We would definitely camp here again if we are in the area.
Date of Stay: June, 2009
This park is quite beautiful and relaxing. It is right on the Mohawk River with a fishing dock and mooring. The campground is unusual in that it is beautiful green grass but also mostly tree covered. We had no trouble with our TV Dish. The sites are flat and somewhat spacious but no bushes between sites. The campground is actually in the town of Glenville, NY and is very close to both Schenectady and Scotia. There is a train that can be heard from the campground but it wasn't loud.
Date of Stay: January, 2009
Shady Acres has some permanent mobile homes, many seasonal units as well as travelers such as ourselves. We enjoyed our 6 nites here and consider it a great value for Jan. in Ft. Myers. It's a very quiet location set back from the road and is very clean though not luxurious. Our seasonal neighbors and all those we met at the two (very well attended) community events were very friendly. Many have been returning to Shady Acres for decades. The pool aerobics looked fun but the class filled up before I got there. The pool is nice but small. The rate is with the Good Sam Discount. We would definitely camp here again in the future.

Mpex Pharmaceuticals Presents Positive Phase 2 Clinical Trial Results of Aeroquin(TM) (MP-376) Treatment in Cystic Fibrosis Patients
SAN DIEGO, May 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Mpex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. today announced the presentation of data from its Phase 2b clinical trial with Aeroquin™ (a proprietary aerosol formulation of levofloxacin, MP-376) in cystic fibrosis (CF) at the American Thoracic Society (ATS) Annual Meeting in New Orleans. Trial results demonstrated statistically significant improvements in bacterial load, respiratory function and time to need for anti-pseudomonal antibiotics (a measure of exacerbations) versus placebo in a heavily treated patient population. The results were presented by Dr. Douglas Conrad from the University of California at San Diego School of Medicine, the principal investigator for the study.
The Phase 2b, multi-center randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial (Mpex 204) studied 151 CF patients to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of three dose levels of inhaled Aeroquin (120mg QD, 240 mg QD and 240 mg BID) administered for 28 days using an customized investigational eFlow® Nebulizer System (PARI Pharma GmbH). Patients were then followed for an additional 28 days after completion of dosing. The trial was conducted in the U.S., Germany and the Netherlands.
To ensure that results from this trial were as predictive as possible for the future Phase 3 program and consistent with current clinical practice, the study enrolled patients that had recently received multiple courses of inhaled antibiotics and in most cases were receiving concomitant medication such as dornase alpha, azithromycin and hypertonic saline that have been shown in previous studies to improve lung function and/or reduce exacerbations.

"What Is Testosterone and How Does It Work?
Testosterone is an androgen indicated as a treatment for replacement therapy in the male in conditions associated with symptoms of low testosterone levels in the body or absence of endogenous"...
DEPO-Testosterone Injection is indicated for replacement therapy in the male in conditions associated with symptoms of deficiency or absence of endogenous testosterone.
- Primary hypogonadism (congenital or acquired)-testicular failure due to cryptorchidism, bilateral torsion, orchitis, vanishing testis syndrome; or orchidectomy.
- Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (congenital or acquired)- gonadotropin or LHRH deficiency, or pituitary-hypothalamic injury from tumors, trauma, or radiation.
Safety and efficacy of DEPO-Testosterone (testosterone cypionate) in men with "age-related hypogonadism" (also referred to as "late-onset hypogonadism") have not been established.
Prior to initiating DEPO-Testosterone (testosterone cypionate), confirm the diagnosis of hypogonadism by ensuring that serum testosterone concentrations have been measured in the morning on at least two separate days and that these serum testosterone concentrations are below the normal range.
DEPO-Testosterone Injection is for intramuscular use only.
It should not be given intravenously. Intramuscular injections should be given deep in the gluteal muscle.
The suggested dosage for DEPO-Testosterone Injection varies depending on the age, sex, and diagnosis of the individual patient. Dosage is adjusted according to the patient's response and the appearance of adverse reactions.
Various dosage regimens have been used to induce pubertal changes in hypogonadal males; some experts have advocated lower dosages initially, gradually increasing the dose as puberty progresses, with or without a decrease to maintenance levels. Other experts emphasize that higher dosages are needed to induce pubertal changes and lower dosages can be used for maintenance after puberty. The chronological and skeletal ages must be taken into consideration, both in determining the initial dose and in adjusting the dose.
For replacement in the hypogonadal male, 50–400 mg should be administered every two to four weeks.
Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration, whenever solution and container permit. Warming and shaking the vial should redissolve any crystals that may have formed during storage at temperatures lower than recommended.
DEPO-Testosterone Injection is available as follows:
100 mg/mL
10 mL vials NDC 0009-0347-02
200 mg/mL
1 mL vials NDC 0009-0417-01
10 mL vials NDC 0009-0417-02
Vials should be stored at controlled room temperature 20° to 25°C (68° to 77°F) [see USP]. Protect from light.

New London — The National Coast Guard Museum will be situated across the railroad tracks from Union Station, adjacent to a new high-speed ferry terminal and accessible from the downtown area via a handicapped-accessible crossing.
Calling the riverfront location "the kind of site any architect would dream of," the head of the architectural team for the museum described to members of the National Coast Guard Museum Association, Coast Guard leaders, politicians and museum supporters gathered at the Science & Technology Magnet High School this morning a three-part building with views to the south, exhibition areas to the north and a central atrium.
The National Coast Guard Museum will bring people to New London from around the world and transform the city and the region, according to speakers at this morning's press conference.
"This is a 'wow' day for the state of Connecticut," Sen. Richard Blumenthal told those gathered for the announcement at the Science & Technology Magnet School.
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy said the museum will attract people on "an international basis to New London." The state has committed $20 million toward the project.
Adm. Robert J. Papp Jr., the Coast Guard commandant, said he likes the site because it can be reached easily by car, bus, train or ferry, many tourists pass through Union Station each day and museum visitors can go to the restaurants and shops downtown.
Fort Trumbull was considered as a possible site for the museum, but Papp said the property there would be "a little bit off the beaten path." Union Station, which was also considered, is too small, he added. The plans call for a roughly 50,000-square-foot museum.
"As people are going to northern New England on the train, and as they go by and look out, they'll say, 'Hey, National Coast Guard Museum, it might be neat to come back here and visit that place,'" he said. "There will be thousands of people that will be going by that museum every day."
Papp said the museum will be a "very attractive addition to the waterfront" and he hopes it will help local businesses thrive.
"The city perhaps might someday see a renaissance of sorts," he said.
The Coast Guard's ties to New London date back more than two centuries. One of the 10 cutters George Washington authorized in 1790 to enforce federal tariff and trade laws was built and based in New London, Papp said.
The Cutter Argus most likely moored at a pier off Bank Street, within walking distance of the site of the future museum, he added. The 10 vessels became the Revenue Cutter Service, one of the five services that merged to form the Coast Guard.
"There's our tie back to the beginnings of our service, right here in New London," Papp said.
Papp said he hopes the Coast Guard barque Eagle will move from Fort Trumbull to City Pier, as long as the water is deep enough and the pier is sturdy enough since trucks have to bring supplies to the ship. Visiting Coast Guard ships could also tie up at the pier, he added.
"If you start getting this vibrant waterfront with clubs and restaurants and other things, when you have a visiting ship that's coming in off a patrol, what a great place to pull into," he said.
The National Coast Guard Museum Association still has to raise the rest of the money to build the museum, which is expected to cost $80 million to $100 million depending on some of the design choices.

Forest Heights features a wide variety of architectural styles which harmonize together to distinguish our neighborhood from tract homes. This gives Forest Heights a unique character, and reflects diversity of our neighborhood. We have an Architectural Review Committee (ARC) that achieves and maintains this outstanding environment.
Many homes in our community were built with a siding material called EIFS, which stands for "Exterior Insulation and Finish System". It looks like traditional stucco, but is quite different underneath. The system uses an insulation board between the exterior plywood sheathing and the surface finish. EIFS has a wonderful smooth look, yet some homeowners have had issues with EIFS. Although all situations are unique, many issues are due to improper installation, leading to moisture getting trapped in the plywood sheathing and framing below, which can cause mold, dry rot and in some cases, structural damage.
Hugh and Penny Taylor experienced a severe case of EIFS damage, and have persevered through a very long process of claims. They are now very pleased to be completing a magnificent repair and exterior remodel to their home on NW Chapin Drive in August of 2011.They have learned a great deal about EIFS and have been kind enough to share their knowledge with the goal of educating and empowering fellow homeowners who may find themselves with similar challenges.
Hugh and Penny Taylor's 10 point plan for EIFS homeowners:
- Ensure you have adequate insurance. Talk with your insurance agent in detail about your policy to understand what they cover, and more importantly, what they don't cover. Hugh learned that his insurance company did cover portions of the interior damage but there were significant portions of the EIFS damage that the insurance company simply would not cover.
- Have regular, professional inspections—not just during home construction and when buying an existing home. Performing regular inspections are critical during home ownership to identify faults in the EIFD system or to identify areas of moisture, before the damage becomes significant. Inspections are expensive, but the non-invasive diagnostic equipment and the inspector's expertise provide a great value in the long run.
- Respond quickly to issues uncovered during inspections, and issues that you discover. Hugh and Penny initially found leaks on the inside of exterior windows and immediately contacted their insurance agent to address the cause of the issue, and remediate the damage before it became worse. Hugh learned that it takes persistence to drive decisions and actions. Those on the other side of the claim may have motivation to respond slowly, so be persistent.
- Consult with a real estate attorney who is knowledgeable about the claim processes, especially the time limitations you may have in making claims with contractors and sub-contractors. It may take a law suit to compel your insurance company, your contractor or sub-contractors to pay a claim or make it right.
- Manage your budget to protect the major investment in your home. Work may need to proceed before claims are awarded. The Taylors could have just given up and sold their house "as-is" and taken a great loss. Some owners might even consider defaulting on their loan, which would have a huge impact on their credit, and would contribute negatively to an already distressed real estate market. Through persistence and patience, the Taylor's earned just enough in claims to recover their costs, and after the repairs, their home's value has been maximized.
- Work with the Forest Heights Architectural Review Committee (ARC) on choice of EIFS replacement. The ARC has published EIFS replacement guidelines on their website which highlight the fact that the material and siding must be appropriate for the design of the house. Although authentic stucco is a desirable replacement, you may choose other materials such as stone, brick, shingles, and vertical cedar siding.
- Get bids from multiple siding contractors. Personally check their references and research their history through the Oregon Construction Contractors' Board and click on "Check a Contractor's License". Look beyond the costs of the project and consider the quality of the work, the warranty, service and support they provide. Also, ensure the warranty transfers to future owners if you sell your home.
- If the siding replacement is significant to the structure of the home, consult with an architect in addition to the siding contractor. The Taylor's selected a redesign that integrated cedar with architectural elements including gabled window frames and wood trim.
- Document your issues in detail, and retain relevant documents and pictures for future reference and claims. Continue your documentation throughout the project.
- Consult with a realtor, especially if selling your home is part of your future plans. A realtor should be able to provide information on the spectrum of options you have; from simply disclosing EIFS and any known issues, all the way down to removing the old and installing new siding before your house is put on the market. Your home is an investment and a significant asset. Any insight into the resale value of the home is incredibly important to your plan of action.
Thanks to Hugh and Penny Taylor for generously sharing their personal experience with EIFS. Hugh has generously offered to speak with neighbors in Forest Heights who have siding challenges. Hugh can be reached at: 503.297.1104 or email@example.com
Another great resource is the Recommended Contractors List posted on the FHHOA website. This list contains contractors that have been recommended by residents and other trusted contractors.

I spent this last weekend up in the village that my friend Ben lives in. It is one of the most rural placements of any of the volunteers in Belize. The village has about 150 people and there is no electricity or running water in the houses. Only 2 buses run there a week and it takes 2 and a half hours to make it the last 40 miles because the roads are so bad. Its rurality is one of the reasons why I love it so much, but it's isolation from the outside world means isolation from choices and information.
The last time I was there about 2 months ago, a woman who I had gotten to know fairly well from the village, came to Ben's house the night before I left. She came to ask me about ways to "control herself" without pills, meaning her options for natural birth control. She explained to me that she didn't want to have to take pills and she was worried that one day her children would need something and she wouldn't have the money to pay for her pills. She said she didn't want anymore children because she already had six and her daughter is already having children and it would shame her to have another.
I had researched that topic some what, but did not feel qualified to say anything at that point. I told her that I would read up about it more and that the next time I came, I would tell her everything I had found out. After speaking to the nurse that I work with and also doing much internet research, I began to have doubts about giving all this information to her. Temperature readings and cervical mucus monitoring . . . I am sure she did not have a thermometer and I did not at all feel qualified to teach her about her own cervical mucus. I had serious doubts that it would work for her because even if she learned to chart her ovulation cycle and take her temperature, the fundamental aspect of natural birth control is abstaining from sex for at least 10 days a month, if not more.
In Belize it is a man's human right to have sex with his wife. It is his RIGHT.
I felt that so much which natural birth control hinged on would not work for her. The first full day I was in San Carlos, she called me over and asked me if I had found out anything about the "natural way." Trying to simplify it to the easiest terms, I told her that she had to chart her period every month and that she would not be able to have sex with her husband for 11 days in a row. Immediately she began to shake her head. "no, no, that would not work. Maybe the man could go 2 or 3 days, but not so many in a row." I tentatively ask about the possibility of condoms. "yes, they are good protection, but sometimes the man not want to wear them." Forget telling her husband that she didn't want to have any more children so this is what was going to happen. Forget even the possibility of discussing it because it wouldn't work. Inwardly, a part of me sighed relief because I believe the pill is much more effective. But another part of me is saddened because despite the fact that it is HER body it is not her choice.
She had her first child at seventeen and described her child birthing experience as, "as soon as the first is holding himself up, and walking a little bit, the next one is coming. You try to get them ready and while you brush the hair of one, the other one needs its diaper changed and they are all crying and you are crying and going crazy." It would be foolish to think that her husband helps her with any of the responsibilities of raising the children.
After her fourth child she starts "controlling herself" with the Depo-shot, which is taken every 3 months. One month she does not have the money to buy the shot AND the fare to take the bus, so she gives her card to a friend and hopes that her friend can get the shot and bring it back to her. The friend loses her card and she cannot get the shot. One month later she is pregnant again. After this fifth child, she again starts to "control herself," but after six years, she goes off of the pill. Soon after she stops, she is pregnant again. She delivers this baby like the rest in the neighboring village where they have a midwife, but this labor is difficult. The afterbirth will not come out and so the midwife forces her to drink vegetable oil and then tries to get her to throw up because it will give her the strength to push it out.
As I am listening to this, a slew of emotions are bubbling up inside of me. I am angry that she had to birth those children that way. I am sad that she did not want so many children, but did not know how to stop if from happening. I am resigned to the fact that this is the way and I am encouraged that she had the knowledge and financial ability to start taking birth control and did not end up with ten or twelve or twenty children like so many women end up with in this country. I am grateful that I am an educated, well brought up woman who understands my choices and will fight for them. I am grateful I am not her and I am ashamed that that particular thought goes through my head.
"The man is the problem," she says and laughs, "the man is always the problem," and laughs again. I laugh with her.
We talk about other things and I come to find out that a resort from San Pedro wants to build a golf course very near to here and a resort on the lagoon. [San Pedro is a caye off of Belize and very popular with tourists. It could be Jamaica or costa rica or Mexico or Belize. It has been de-culture-fied.]
I find out that an oil company came up here and blew up dynamite in the lagoon. I sigh deep and swallow the fury rising from my stomach. Those people don't think about the people that live here. Somewhere people are desiring oil or a golf course or money and nowhere in their thoughts is that they might make a decision that could effect hundreds or thousands of people. Or maybe they do and say "its for the good of the people. We will bring them electricity and televisions and cell phones and better clothes. We will employ the people from this village and give them a steady income." The fields are abandoned for jobs that pay 17 US a day, but won't break a man's back. The children never learn their father's trade. They stop remembering how fun it was to make your own fun or the family's laughter at night under a kerosene lantern because they're eyes are glued to the TV. They are employees to a white man who brought a white world to their world.
Those people with the golf course don't think about that because they have found something unique, something untouched, something beautiful and they want to destroy because they have their eye on their prize. It is a concept drummed into us from a very young age: Work hard enough and you can be rich, you can be successful, you can be famous, you can expand, you can feel good about yourself. You can be happy.
They don't think about the ruination of the lagoon or the animals or this pristine place where I sitting across from a woman, like any other woman in the world. I am sitting in an old plastic chair and she in a homemade wooden stool, and next to her, is the cement hearth where she cooks every meal for her family. We are in front of her house, which is made of sticks. We are content because this particular day has been good to us.
