Dave Miner's 1965 Z16 SS396 Chevelles
Dave says;
"I do all my own restoration work, including mechanical, body, paint and zinc plating and phosphatizing. I can do my own carbs and I'm picky. But with Eric, I find he'll do it as good as I expect out of myself, he's reasonable and timely. Accuracy is important to me and Eric does that."
Thanks Dave!

Goonies never say die!
Ron Seifried | On 08, Apr 2014
Goonies never say die! ….especially if there is potential sequel money involved.
Cornered by TMZ over the weekend, "Goonies" director Richard Donner has confirmed that a sequel to the 1985 classic is in development, and he is hoping to reunite the original cast.
The film launched the careers of Josh Brolin, Corey Feldman, Sean Astin and Martha Plimpton, prolonged the very brief career of Jonathan "Short Round" Ke Quan and was written by Chris Columbus and Executive Produced by Steven Spielberg.
Based on a story by Spielberg, the gang of pre-teens from the fictional neighborhood of "Goon-Docks" in Astoria, Oregon discover a 200+year old Spanish treasure map belonging to pirate One-Eyed Willie. A quest to save their homes from demolition is sidetracked by the Fratelli family of bank robbers led by a Ma Barker-type mother with three very unique sons, including a towering deformity named Sloth.
Many followups have been shelved over the years, including a comic book miniseries, Cartoon Network animated series and a Broadway musical.
The cast did reunite thanks to Empire Magazine back in 2009. Ironically, Donner said at the time there was "no hope" for a sequel, but the rest of the cast remained hopeful.
According to Sean Astin's book "There and Back Again" Donner and Spielberg were more like co-directors on set and he goes on to compare their individual directing styles. This was not the first time Spielberg has been called out to direct scenes on films he produced, most infamously with "Poltergeist" and it's director Tobe Hooper.
The 1980's is making a strong comeback, with several franchises up for reboots in the near future, including "Ghostbusters," "Gremlins" and "Fast Times at Ridgemont High." This year has already seen the release of several 1980's era reboots: "RoboCop," "Endless Love" and "About Last Night."
The 1980's are hip again!

stop-over in Seoul, Korea
Seoul Travel Blog› entry 1 of 6 › view all entries
I am here a stop-over in Seoul, Korea, on my way to the Philippines - I haven't been here for 10 yrs. The plane was GREAT - Korean Air. There was so many movies to choose from + games. The food was good too. I have to do some running or biking while I'm here bec I don't want to get heavy. I only got probably 5 hours of sleep during the flight. I'll probably get lagged soon.
They have a free internet area here at airport on the 4th floor. The Incheon Airport reminds me of Terminal One at JFK or the airport in Bangkok, very modern and glass open space. They even have a mini exhibit on korean traditional ceremonial dress. On the transit hallway, they had life sized statutes of buddhas and animals dressed in Korean garbs. I'll take a photo on my way back to NYC.
I hope to get to experience Malapascua Island http://malapascuaisland.com/default.asp or Boracay
http://www.Boracay.com It is a bummer that my friend Joanne is probably going to bail-out on our 4 days getaway trip from Quezon City. I'm still going with or without her. I need to get a tan.
I'm just bummed out that I broke my weighing scale at home trying to gage my luggage. I only had a limit of 75 pounds per check it luggage. I guess, I'm heading to IKEA before Christmas to get a new one.

The Test Kitchen by Luke Dale-Roberts in Woodstock, Cape Town has taken 28th spot in the annual The World's 50 Best Restaurants, sponsored by S.Pellegrino & Acqua Panna. As with last year, The Test Kitchen also achieved Best Restaurant in Africa.
The Tasting Room at Le Quartier Français in Franschhoek was joint 88th with Zuma, Dubai (although how you can come 88th on a list of 50, we're not sure…).
For the full list, click here.

Please tell me FiFa is not involved.
Ha, and there I thought it was all that high altitude quinoa!
Two observations- Something exciting must be happening in Lima, Peru, to have 3 restaurants in the top 50 and it seems some prospective restaurateurs are looking to South African political history for the names of their establishments! (Zuma and Biko…).
From the NY Times: "The group that administers the awards collects millions of dollars annually in sponsorships from global food and drink brands including San Pellegrino and Veuve Clicquot, and from national governments including those of Peru and Singapore."
There you go…Peru appearing out of nowhere as a culinary hotspot…who would have thought that the govt of Peru would be a sponsor? ! :-)

Real estate prices are paralytic and unnatural. It's crucifying us.
Gen Taylor,
I think one thing you'll notice is that those "metropolitan areas" do not have any real cuisine of their own (they don't). To us, it feels like either or. It's not that I don't like the food, I love it, but it feels like pure novelty to me. I prefer when other cuisines meld with ours, as Vietnamese is slowly doing.
@hmph yes it is far weaker. An Italian or really anyone from a coffee loving country would spit out just about any espresso in town. Kaldi's and Borsodi's made very fine espresso. PJ's used to.
Well, actually I think Jindal has the state exactly where he wants it to be. In a few short years the only higher ed in LA will be tech schools. LSU BR has about 15% of the liberal arts programs that were offered when I attended - the early 90's.
I can't imagine looking at all this and even considering that it was accidental.
When will Mr. Lagasse put his face on the other things people need? I'm getting very tired of glueing his picture to everything I own!
This was as good as the story some time back about the Copelands demolishing their garish, monstrous house, planning to put a theme park devoted to Al, complete with a giant talking statue of him.
PS I'm glad they disable comments .. I wish nola.com would disable their entire comment system. The whole board is infested with crazy people who make dozens of posts a day.

Statcast: Baez's steals set up key runs for Puerto Rico
Big secondary leads highlight infielder's aggressive baserunning in win over Team USA
Javier Baez is known most for a powerful swing and slick defense that he utilizes at multiple positions for the Cubs. But on Friday night he put his baserunning chops on full display on the World Baseball Classic stage.
Baez, who had never enjoyed a multi-steal game in the Majors, swiped three bases for Puerto Rico in a second-round contest against Team USA at San Diego's Petco Park. Not only did he tie the single-game Classic record, but his aggressive exploits in the bottom of the sixth inning helped set up a 6-5 victory that propelled Puerto Rico into the championship round.
By improving to 2-0 in Pool F play, Baez's squad clinched a spot in the four-team, single-elimination semifinals and final at Dodger Stadium, even before it plays Venezuela at 3:30 p.m. ET on Saturday. After that contest, the U.S. will meet the Dominican Republic at 10 p.m., with the final championship-round berth on the line (Both games will air live on MLB Network and MLB.TV).
Baez first showed off his basestealing by swiping third base in the first inning, but his biggest moment came in the sixth. A 4-0 Puerto Rico lead had dwindled to 4-3 when U.S. reliever Mychal Givens hit Baez with a pitch to begin the frame.
On a 2-0 fastball from Givens, Baez took off and made it to second easily, and the key was his secondary lead. At a sizable 27 feet, it eclipsed the 2016 MLB average of 23 feet on successful steals of second. It also was three feet farther than Baez had gotten on any regular-season attempt in the Statcast™ Era -- though he matched it in the 2015 postseason against the Cardinals -- and would have been the Cubs' fifth-largest distance on a steal of second last season.
That head start put U.S. catcher Buster Posey in a tough spot. Posey's pop time of 1.93 seconds would have qualified as his third-fastest individual time to second last year and easily beaten his average of 2.03 seconds. His 81.4-mph throw, which one-hopped shortstop Brandon Crawford, would have been his 13th-hardest on a steal attempt.
When Posey recorded a pop time of less than two seconds on a steal attempt of second base last season, he got his man seven of 10 times. When he threw harder than 81.4 mph, he went 8-for-12. But in this case, Baez essentially had the base stolen off of Givens.
Later in the frame, with one out, Baez remained on second with Eddie Rosario on first. As Enrique Hernandez faced lefty Andrew Miller, both broke for the next base. Secondary leads typically are longer off second base than off first, and indeed, Baez made it 30 feet -- slightly less than the 31 feet he managed while stealing third earlier in the game.
Posey once again faced a difficult task, especially on a pitch in the dirt, with a right-handed batter at the plate. While Posey's pop time (1.63 seconds) was faster because of the shorter distance to third base, his exchange between receiving the ball and getting rid of it (0.80 seconds) was slower than on Baez's previous attempt that inning (0.71 seconds). His 80-mph throw also drifted off-line into foul territory, and Baez dove in safely.
After Hernandez struck out, third baseman Nolan Arenado's throwing error on Angel Pagan's ground ball scored both Baez and Rosario and gave Puerto Rico a 6-3 edge. Those runs loomed large when the U.S. scored twice in the ninth and put the potential tying run on third base before Edwin Diaz struck out Josh Harrison for the final out.
The World Baseball Classic runs through Wednesday. In the U.S., games air live exclusively in English on MLB Network and on an authenticated basis via MLBNetwork.com/watch, while ESPN Deportes and WatchESPN provide the exclusive Spanish-language coverage.

For Gibbs, an Offseason Through the Looking Glass
The first time Joe Gibbs's wife, Pat, found out the Hall of Fame coach was thinking about returning to the NFL, she strongly cautioned him of the consequences.
"You're going to ruin your good name," Pat told her husband.
In retelling the story yesterday afternoon in Ashburn, Gibbs repeated the punchline, "After the first year, we're halfway there."
The coach almost hiccupped as he laughed. He cackled and laughed some more.
On the day his team reported to training camp, he trotted out the old, Gibbsian self-deprecation routine. He tried his best to camouflage the frustration of winning six games and losing 10 last season and he rightly tried to downplay the most bizarro of offseasons.
Team officials speed-dialed Gibbs's number for months, each time relating some strange-but-true tale about his football players.
"I'm on vacation and I get the calls, 'You're not going to believe this,' " Gibbs said. " 'Yes, I will.' "
Between Sean Taylor allegedly beating down some fellow who may have stolen his all-terrain vehicles in Miami and Clinton Portis nearly going to court for failing to pay a former teammate $20,000 in exchange for his jersey number, Gibbs got used to the good, the bad and the just plain weird.
In April, LaVar Arrington went on some Show-Me-More-Love rant -- all because the team had the temerity to not promptly release the fact that he had a second knee surgery. Poor LaVar did not feel like Mr. Redskin anymore.
Antonio Pierce and Fred Smoot bolted for other teams less than a year after they were called core players. Laveranues Coles said owner Dan Snyder threatened to send him a plasma television because he was going to be watching the Redskins instead of playing if he didn't get religion quick.
On it went. And that's hardly taking into account the mess Gibbs and the Redskins got themselves into. They misquoted their own press release before the draft, then called a press conference to spank the media for its mistake.
Some of the foibles you could not make up. Washington was docked three offseason practices by the NFL when the league officials witnessed video of forbidden contact scrimmages on a Web site -- the Redskins' team Web site! Yes, unwittingly, they turned themselves in.

We had already stayed 3 nights in the hotel when we started noticing bites and itchy red marks. One of us woke up to a bug crawling on the pillow which led to searching and the discovery of MORE BUGS...in the bed, on the wall, in cracks behind the bed. At 3am, we went downstairs to tell the front desk. His response was "wow" and "you have to wait until morning to talk to the manager". We requested new sheets and decided to at least change all the sheets on the bed where there may have been bugs. Ultimately, finally at 5am, we decided to sleep on the couch.
In the morning, we brought the bugs down to show the front desk manager. At first he was very surprised and he did apologize. He said he could put us in another room. When we went into the new room, we found dead termites on the floor and said THAT'S IT...so we packed our stuff and went downstairs to say we were going to a different hotel. At that point, he said the only thing he could do for us was to not charge us for our final night (we had one night left). WELL DUH!! If we aren't staying here, we wouldn't expect to pay. He was doing us no favours. We then asked for some sort of compensation for the previous night that we had discovered the bugs and were up until 5am cleaning. In the end, he refused to aid our problem in any kind of way. No compensation was provided. We were totally unsatisfied with how the hotel dealt with the problem. It's $5.00 to wash and dry a load of laundry there....maybe that could have been offered to us AT THE VERY LEAST.
THEN...get this...he accused us of having more people in our room sleeping there when this wasn't the case at all. We had friends come and go, who had their own hotel. But to make this accusation after what we went through was just plain disrespectful.
All in all, the room was nice and spacious, but the cleanliness was a major issue and customer service was awful. My advice...go stay at a bigger, more well known hotel and search the room to make sure you don't have any nighttime company.

Come out to this year's Baldwinsville Christmas Tree lighting, which will be held at 5:30 p.m. Saturday Nov. 28 at the Red Mill Inn.
"Come sing carols with Santa Claus, decorate Christmas ornaments and enjoy hot chocolate, coffee and delicious cookies donated by P&C Foods," said Lee Wilder, executive director of the Greater Baldwinsville Chamber of Commerce.
Santa will once again arrive by a horse drawn wagon. While participants wait for their turn to visit with Santa, crafts, movies and treats for children will be available for everyone's enjoyment. There will also be wagon rides around Paper Mill Island.
"It's a great night to enjoy time with family and friends," Wilder said. "Special thank you to the Redmill Inn for partnering with the Chamber of Commerce to host this event. Also, special thanks to Michael Anselment and family for donating the tree."
Anselment, his wife, Debbie, and children, Alex and Brittany, of Country Lane in Baldwinsville, donated the 40-foot Christmas tree to be used for the village's holiday display in the village parking lot located in front of the Red Mill Inn. And, like previous years, Stan Dombroski of Timber Tree Service generously donated his equipment and staff to remove and transport the tree.
Village officials are grateful to the Anselment Family and Timber Tree Service for their generous donations and encourage the public to attend this holiday event.
The Anselment family stands in front of the Christmas tree donated from their yard to the village of Baldwinsville for the annual tree lighting ceremony held at the Red Mill Inn.

WITH every week a new Independent candidate seems to be emerging in the county to stake their claim for a second Independent seat after Mick Wallace, who is deemed a shoe-in.
With Ger Carthy, Caroline Foxe, Emmet Moloney and Paul O'Hanlon all in the ring the question remains will any of the South Wexford candidates manage to capitalise on the potential for a third seat in the area, or will party politics confine them to also-rans.
With numerous candidates from emerging parties, along with Green Party candidates and newbie candidates like Julie Hogan and Aoife Byrne, the question remains can these newcomers muster enough support in a short space of time to convince voters, particulalry young voters, to opt for them.
Deputy Wallace topped the poll with 13,329 votes in 2011 astounding everyone.
He got votes in places like Kilanerin in North Wexford, ultimately depriving Michael D'Arcy of a seat with his haul from the north of the county. Even if he were to lose half his vote he would still be elected in the upcoming election, and many believe he will top the poll again, despite not having a constituency office in the county.
The remaining Independent candidates are hoping that some of that maverick Mick Wallace Independent magic might rub off on them. Cllr Carthy is regarded as being in with a shout for the fifth seat. He has profile as Wexford's Mayor. He has pedigree as his father Leo was a county councillor for 49 years and he has financial backers and a lot of ambition.
Many believe that Caroline Foxe, a postmistress from Foulksmills, will do well because there is nobody else from the area running, (apart from Deputy Wallace).
It remains to be seen how much support Mr Moloney and Mr O'Hanlon will have, but the race for the fifth seat and the election in general will be all the more interesting for their participating.

How to diagnose & evaluate stains on chimneys outdoors or indoors & where to look for signs of chimney damage.
This article describes stains that appear on chimney surfaces both indoors and outside. We identify common dark brown or black stains as well as white or light-colored stains or white powdery material that appears on masonry chimney surfaces.
We discuss: What do white powdery stains mean when found on a masonry chimney exterior indoors or outside? How to Evaluate & Diagnose Black or Brown Stains on Chimney Exteriors. Water and Chimney Leaks Lead to Damage that may show up indoors on walls.
Indoor Stains & Wall Damage May Be Traced to Chimney Leaks. Fireplace Stains May Indicate Chimney Leaks & Damage.
Stains and leak damage to a chimney may be visible in the attic. Stains, cracks, evidence of chimney leaks & damage may be visible in the basement.
We explain what these chimney stains might mean, why safety hazards may be present, and how to proceed to inspect and repair the chimney.
Green links show where you are. © Copyright 2017 InspectApedia.com, All Rights Reserved.
Here we discuss stains found on or at chimneys themselves both on the building exterior, and in the building interior at walls or ceilings near chimneys.
White powdery or crystalline stains on masonry chimneys is often efflorescence, a mineral salt left on the surface as water evaporates. Efflorescence may appear on the outside surfaces of a chimney both outdoors and inside as well as inside the flue itself.
(You are not likely to see these stains on a metal chimney unless the metal chimney and flue are damaged and leaking insulation material.)
If you are not sure what efflorescence is or how to recognize it, see EFFLORESCENCE SALTS & WHITE DEPOSITS.
Efflorescence might be just cosmetic - as wind-blown rain wets the chimney sides and leaches out mineral salts which remain white on the masonry surface of the chimney.
But efflorescence might also mean that water is running inside of the chimney flue or chimney structure. Further diagnostic inspection is needed.
Left unattended, water entering a masonry chimney risks damage to the flue (unsafe) and to the chimney structure (unsound and unsafe).
at SLATE ROOF DEFECTS Questions & Answers we provide additional discussion about sources of white stains that may be found on chimneys or on roofs below or near chimneys.
This chimney is suffering water damage from at least two locations. The white efflorescence along the upper side of the chimney (at left) may originate at a bad chimney cap or rain cap.
But the chimney also seems to be suffering from roof runoff/spillage, perhaps due to a clogged roof gutter - as you can infer from the additional brown and black stains on the right side of this chimney from below the roof eaves.
Inside the building it is important to inspect building walls for signs of chimney leakage and it may be appropriate to have a professional inspect the safety and condition of the entire chimney flue.
To remove these white effloresence stains on the brick chimney see EFFLORESENCE REMOVAL & PREVENTION
In the photograph below, notice the black stains originating at the chimney shoulder on its left side, and the cracking stucco on the chimney's right side in this photograph.If your chimney inspection began at ground level, both of these clues should raise a red flag and call for close attention to the chimney condition from both outdoors and inside the building.
This poor chimney, discussed in more detail at CHIMNEY MOVEMENT, ONGOING vs STATIC, was leaning well away from the building - not so easy to notice when inspecting the chimney base shown at left.
In our chimney photo at below left, notice the black and brown stains (and that odd rain cap) at the upper section of this masonry block chimney.
Now without looking more closely we're not sure if we are seeing a history of creosote wash-down the chimney sides from a woodstove or other heater (the flue is too small for a fireplace), or alternatively, we might discover that the chimney interior flue is damaged, cracked, leaky, sending rain-washed creosote or condensate out thorough the chimney at cracks and mortar joints.
This chimney needs expert inspection for safety and condition.
At above right the black stains on the sides of this chimney near its top are probably soot or creosote wash-down.
The chimney flue is short, the chimney cap is thin and cracked, and of course there is no rain cap (see CHIMNEY CAP & CROWN DEFINITIONS) . Look closely for frost damage at both the exterior and interior of this chimney.
Photos of soot at a metal chimney cap and on the roof below were provided courtesy of ASHI inspector Roger Hankey.
Soot at the chimney top (photo at left & below left) , particularly on an oil or gas fired heating equipment flue, is a good indicator of improper equipment adjustment or a related chimney and draft operating problem.
Watch out: sooting gas fired heating equipment is very dangerous and risks production of fatal carbon monoxide gases in the building.
Our second example of a roof stain traced to a chimney is shown in our photo at below right - rusting metal chimney components.
See ROOF STAINS from CHIMNEYS for details and for more examples of both of these chimney related stain topics.
The dark stains at the upper center of this brick masonry chimney are probably algae growing in higher concentration on the masonry surface that is most-wetted by runoff from the chimney top.
But we'd want to make an on-roof inspection from much closer to be sure we're not looking at soot deposition.
Red or rust-colored stains at or around or originating at a metal chimney or chimney rain cap may be caused by rust or by other even more dangerous conditions.
See CHIMNEY CAP & CROWN DEFINITIONS for examples of rust damage at chimney tops, caps, and crowns.
Watch out: See CHIMNEY RAIN CAP OPENING SIZE for an example of a constricted chimney cap, a different and immediately dangerous cause of red and yellow stains at the chimney top shown at above right.
For a detailed analysis of the red roof stains in the photo above, see RUST STAINS on ROOFS where we describe tracking red or rust-colored stains on chimneys or roofs to their cause.
Roof stains due to chimney defects: this section on roof stains at or around chimneys describes how to identify and diagnosis of black roof stains caused by soot or creosote washing off of building chimneys and we discuss possible safety and fire hazards associated with this condition.
Our chimney inspection, cleaning & repair articles discuss all aspects of chimney inspection & troubleshooting, while our building stain diagnosis articles articles tell readers how to identify & explain the most-common causes of black, brown, red, gray, green, or white stains appearing on roof shingles and on other building surfaces.
This article focuses on stains on roofs caused by chimney problems.
Soot from fireplace flues washing down onto the roof - characterized by staining appearing below and in line with the chimney
Similarly, soot from oil-fired heating flues washing down onto the roof, characterized by the same pattern of staining around and below the chimney; also probably an indicator of an operating problem with the heating system.
That was clearly the case in the photograph shown at page top.
At left our photo shows soot stains running down a masonry chimney and onto the roof surface. Incidentally, this chimney needed to be re-lined but evidence of that is not presented in this photo.
Gas Flue Safety Warning: If this same sooting appears on and around a gas-fired appliance flue, there is a very unsafe condition present and risk of fatal carbon monoxide production inside the building. Immediate action is be needed.
[Photograph of a soot-stained roof top at page top was courtesy of Roger Hankey a Minnesota home inspector.
Unlike other roof shingle stain patterns shown in our article series on roof stain diagnosis, black stains caused by soot staining from a chimney or brown stains from a rusting chimney or chimney flashing, or sometimes a combination of the two will be prominent in a wide swath along the sides and below the chimney and will be little in evidence elsewhere on the roof.
Our photo of red-brown roof stains below and around a metal-enclosed chimney (left) was taken in Wappingers Falls, NY. The stains on this roof are around and below a metal enclosure that in turn surrounds a metal chimney.
This CLOSER LOOK at the CHIMNEY TOP [Image] shows black sooting - the heating system in this home has not been operating properly, and we pose that the roof and chimney stains are probably a combination of rust and soot wash-down from the sooty flue gases as well.
Watch out: we often see that the top of metal box frames around older metal chimneys has rusted through, but may not be noticeable from the ground.
Sending water down the chimney risks costly damage to the heating furnace or boiler. Look for water leak stains on the flue and chimney base inside the building and inspect the chimney top carefully from outside.

I turned my gas heater on yesterday, today I noticed that the outside of the cinderblock chimney was very dark black, I think it best not to use the heater until I have it looked at. How dangerous is this? It seems to be less dark since I turned the heat off.

my chimney has oozing big time black brown stains obn the outside of the surface, I do have cap on it tha is correct for my chimney, could water realy be leaking in thru the bricks from the inside of the chimney, i look inside from the top it looks to be pretty tight, I have a gase hot air furnace could there be any saftey problems from this leak?
thank you
I suspect condensate is dissolving creosote. Was this chim previously venting an oil burner, coal, or wood fire?
Air and water leaks along a flue could interfere with safe draft, and I speculate that crud dripping bCk into a heating appliance could damage it. Why not schedule a thorough chimney inspection, cleaning, repairs.

We had horrible dark brown (almost molasses looking) gunk oozing out of our chimney when running our furnace this winter. The goo, in turn, leaked into the walls and floor around the chimney area. We have since replaced the furnace (it no longer vents through the chimney), and put in a new metal liner for the hot water heater. Is it safe to replace the walls and floor surrounding this chimney? We have gotten conflicting responses from the HVAC professionals that installed our furnace and chimney liner. One said that the problem is resolved, the other said that the condensation that collected in the chimney will continue to leak into our walls/floor unless we replace the entire chimney. I'd hate to spend the money on replacing the chimney if we don't have to..
The goo you describe is usually creosote dissolving and leaking out through defects in the chimney.
You have re-lined the chimney, which, properly performed, should have stopped leaks and made it safe to use. If however there continues to be outdoor water leakage into the chimney structure or condensation forming between the chimney liner and the older chimney materials you may see new oozing and stains emitted.
I'm not sure, however that you have to replace the entire chimney to fix the problem. YOu haven't said how it is constructed; I'm guessing it's masonry - stone, block, brick.
If there are no leaks into the chimney from outside through its walls or top, and if the installer insulated between the chimney liner and original chimney walls, I'd not expect to see much leakage or staining in the future.

Have a question. We had a new chimney built 1 year ago (block with clay insulating). We primarily heat with a wood boiler system (a gassification system). We are starting to notice some black staining outside on the chimney block. We have our chimney and wood boiler professionally cleaned and inspected each year before winter and have not had a problem. What could be causing this, how can we stop it, and how can we get rid of the ugly stains?
Black stains on the outside of the masonry block chimney are often caused by leaks out of the internal flue that run down the space between the clay flue tiles and the interior of the masonry blocks, finding an opening in the blocks where the stain seeps out; creosote (from burning wood) combines with condensate moisture to make the actual leaks, but the concerns are more than just the stain; the question is whether or not the chimney was properly constructed, lined, and leakproof; leaks in the chimney can cause poor draft and can also be a source of a building fire if sparks pass through an opening to contact wood framing; and of course flue gases could also seep into a building.
Sounds as if you need a chimney flue inspection by a certified chimney sweep - someone independent from the builder.
Just "getting rid of the stains" (clean and re-paint with sealer then finish coating on the chimney exterior) are missing the more important concerns.
(Oct 20, 2014) Anonymous said:
Can reddish roof stains be caused by old chimney bricks?
Possibly; follow the stains up-roof: they'll point to the source. Most often I find rusting flashing or other metal on-roof components as the source of red roof stains.
(Oct 22, 2014) Kayla said:
I have a Columbia summer winter hook up oil boiler. I also have really ugly red staining on the exterior of the stucco chimney. From the stain pattern, it is clearly coming from the furnace/boiler flue, not the fireplace flue. I've had the chimney cap examined, the chimney swept by a certified chimney sweep, verified the stainless steel lining is fine and is the correct size for the boiler, had the boiler inspected and cleaned by the oil company, and no one can figure out the problem. There is nothing that is rusting. I've found a few references to the red dye in the oil causing this kind of problem, but not much info and no ideas on how to alleviate the problem. The chimney stucco itself is not in good shape so I'm arranging to have that fixed, but before I put all that money into it, I'd like to figure out how to avoid the nice new stucco getting stained with red streaks. Help!
Red dye in heating oil won't cause red roof stains; more likely someone has missed a combustion issue, chimney contaminant, or a rusting on-roof component.

Alejandro Cota Maclis looks gravely at the remains of his grandmother's garden, a five-by-fifteen-foot patch of limestone and churned dirt. At the back, grape vines lean like broken caryatids against a ramshackle fence of sticks and wire. A committee of vultures perch in the high, green tops of date palms. Behind him, an austere limestone church—the Mission of Santa Gertrudis—stands on a lonely rise in the center of the silent village.
Cota's family has worked this patch of land deep in the arid interior mountains of Mexico's Baja Peninsula for six generations. When the last of the missionaries left the village in 1834 (the newly independent Mexican government had legally secularized all the country's missions the previous year for fear that the priests would be more loyal to the Crown than the new Republic), they handed over the keys to Cota's great-great-grandmother, Ignacia. One of the last surviving Cochimí—the indigenous tribe that once populated the mountains and coasts of central Baja—Ignacia, Cota says, "barely spoke a word of Spanish, but they entrusted it to her anyway." They also left her this garden, one of the most fertile patches of land in Santa Gertrudis.
Founded in 1751, Santa Gertrudis is one of the 27 missions built on the Baja peninsula between 1697 and 1834. Though colonizers had landed on the coast well over a century earlier, Jesuit missionaries were the first to establish inland settlements. From the coastal town of Loreto, which served as the capital of the unified Californias until 1776, they ascended the peninsula's rocky spine, building stone churches and irrigation systems for elaborate gardens wherever they found a sufficient water source. Isolated from both the colony and the crown, the Jesuits aimed to turn Baja into a Kingdom of Heaven, full of righteous converts governed only by their god.
Despite that isolation, the oasis gardens represented a spectacular cross-section of plants from across the known world. There were fruiting cacti from the Mexican mainland; dates, pomegranates, figs, and olives from the eastern Mediterranean; coconuts and mangos carried across the Pacific from the Philippines; and a staggering variety of citrus species from Asia. In 1714, the Jesuits imported grapes from the Canary Islands and planted the first vineyards in California. Within 40 years, the missions of Comondú, Purísima, San Ignacio, and San Javier alone were producing some 4,000 gallons of wine annually, much of it for export to mainland Mexico, where it was compared favorably to wines from Europe (New World wines aren't so new, after all). That grape, known as the uva misionera, or mission grape, has long since gone extinct in Spain, but still grows on the Baja missions, albeit in dwindling numbers. The missionaries are gone now, too, and the villages they founded are shrinking, but their gardens still grow, agricultural time capsules from the Age of Discovery. The Jesuits had planned to build an Eden. Instead, they built an Ark.

When Cota returned to Santa Gertrudis in 2007, after several years studying in the northern port city of Ensenada (the center of Baja's burgeoning food and wine scene), he found just one person left making wine: his grandmother. He spent six years working with her to learn the old techniques, sun-drying the grapes, crushing them under foot, and fermenting them in chiseled limestone vats before bottling. In 2012, he produced his first vintage of 250 bottles, sweet as dates and nutty as port, nothing like the modern Cabernets and Tempranillos he'd tasted at the vineyards up north. The wine from this land, Cota tells me, his diction both lofty and shy, is "the same wine the Spanish used to drink, the wine drunk by emperors."
A year later, in 2013, disaster struck. Rains like Cota had never seen swept down the arroyo and washed his grandmother's garden away just as it returned to life. As Cota and I leave the ruined garden, the clouds part and the sun blazes down like a benediction. He turns to survey his broken land. "Bringing the mission and the garden back to life," he says, with the steadfast conviction of a desert eremite, "that's my mission. That's my dream."

I wouldn't ask her to name one after me, even though it was all I wanted. One of two things I wanted, and the second was her lips – anywhere on my skin.
Kisses heal the hurt; isn't that what they taught us?
"These are my favorites," Amber said, but she didn't have to say it. They were the only rocks swaddled in wrapping paper, and she held one out to me, the sparkling flat of it resting in the careful platform of her two palms.
Water impregnated with chemicals, rich in minerals, she continued, and I wondered why she was talking about water, but mostly I wondered if she knew I had known her name since elementary school, watched her since middle school, and to find her in college felt more miraculous that any crystal formation.
"You can hold it." The rock – geode – was offered to me, but I did not want to take it. She held the flat slice of chemical blue crystal more carefully than I had ever held anything.
Watching her hold out these rocks to me, I wished that I had talked to Amber before. Before today. Before the summer. Before the speeding car and my little sister, running. I wished I had talked to Amber the first time I noticed her, back in third grade show-and-tell when she'd smiled wide at the bright crystals in her hands even though some of the kids laughed at her for collecting rocks. I wished I could have asked her how to hold something so gently, so that I'd have known how to reach out, so that I'd have known how to take my sister's hand when I had the chance.
She had always liked to run. "What are you running from?" I'd asked her, that day last summer, while I'd stretched my legs across the weeds that I was meant to be pulling.
"Does it have a name?" I asked Amber. The other rocks did. The less special ones. Clunky, misshapen lumps that only revealed the side worth anything if turned over. Not the rock in Amber's palm, nor the three left on the wrapping paper. It was Christmas wrapping paper. Red with pearl snowflakes, even though it was the thick of August. I could feel the crisp shadow of expiring sun on my outstretched legs until a peal of laughter from outside the room reminded me that I was sitting against the dorm room bed of the girl I'd always wished would notice me, back when I could spare my wishes on such simple things.
I searched in Amber's eyes for the sympathy I'd collected from everyone back home, but instead I saw only wonder at this rock she held, like it was something precious, something alive, something to be kept safe in the flimsy swaddle of Christmas wrapping paper.
Her eyes were brown. Like dirt, the kind that packed together into sedimentary rocks, which sometimes hoarded air bubbles in the empty spaces of their chests so that something beautiful could grow.
If I asked her to name this rock after me, she would. She had texted me to come over, after all, and from what I knew, we weren't friends. To me, she was just the girl who smiled at rocks, who left me wondering how it would feel, to be smiled at like that. And to her, I was just the boy from grade school who happened to go to the same college.
"Go on," Amber said, hands moving an inch towards me. "It will help."
Help what? It was a goddamn rock. I lifted my palms to match hers, lifelines-up like we were showing off how much time we had. The rock slipped against the sweat of my skin.
It was smooth, warm from her heat, a kiss falling along the creases of my palms.
"I know they're just rocks," she said, but at first I thought I had said it.
My fingers flinched, and the rock trembled against my fingerprints.
"But pretending they're something more helps."
I pretended it was a heart. Small, warmth cooling, turning blue from lack of oxygen. Did hearts do that? I didn't know. In my head, it didn't matter. I watched the heart harden, so tiny it could fit into a rabbit's chest, like the ones that ran, quick, quick, across our front lawn, sometimes darting into the road without warning, without any time to stop them.
"Will," Amber said suddenly – sudden as the flash of metal on sun-kissed skin, but not nearly as loud – and I didn't know if she was finally naming the rock I held, or just saying my name to fill the hollow of our silence.

MC: There is also much anticipation for another MOTM (Man on the Moon: The End of Day) record. What can we expect from that?
Kid Cudi: Man on the Moon III will show a whole other level of maturity, and it will answer a whole lot of questions. There's a lot of missing links between MOTM and MOTM II. I also think that they were both very ignorant albums, so I think I'll eliminate a lot of that ignorance.
You'll see it coming from a person who is looking at things from a more mature mindset, with more understanding and growth. I want people to be able to put this album on at different points in their lives and grow with me. This series was meant to show me grow as a man and it would not be right to do MOTM III and have me talking about driving drunk. I didn't want people to listen and feel like, "Oh he's giving us a lesson," rather than be entertained, but I'm not condoning that shit, that's not cool. When I'm singing about driving drunk on "Pursuit of Happiness" on MOTM, you may remember that it was a nightmare. It was meant to be scary, the craziness, the fact that this person chooses to look for happiness in substances; and that's scary, that's a terrible combination, that's a terrible way to go about things.
MOTM III will really be answering the biggest question: Have I found happiness? And it will lead people on in life, because there will not be another MOTM after MOTM III. It will send people off feeling satisfied.
MC: What did you learn from Kanye West and Jay Z? Any key conversation you may have had?
Kid Cudi: I can't pinpoint one conversation, because there were many of them, but there are things that I see in Kanye and Jay Z: people who stay true to their art, people who stay true to themselves, you know, do things their own way. There's beauty in that, especially for a young black man who came from an environment where niggas were doing nothing but getting in trouble, getting killed and thrown in jail.
Jay Z and Kanye are once in a lifetime artists. Like Michael Jackson, you'll never see another Jay Z and you'll never see another Kanye, and the reason why is because they are who they are. They're not emulating anyone. And it's not that they told me; I was just paying attention. I think that's why they have me around, because they know I'm watching and I'm learning.
MC: What have you learned from them about actually making music?
Kid Cudi: I learned how to make beats from watching Dot [Dot da Genius], Emile, Plain Pat and Kanye. I've combined everything I learned from those four dudes and fused it and created my own shit. So if I'm gonna sample some shit, I'm like "Oh yeah, I remember Kanye sampled it this way." If I'm laying down drums, I'm like, "I saw Dot lay down drums this way." Or if I'm gonna chop something up, I'm like, "I remember how Plain Pat chopped this up," because Pat is the illest sample chopper, I don't give a fuck what anyone says. Between him and Emile they got the craziest collection of records, it's ridiculous. And I understand why Kanye was like "Oh yeah, Plain Pat? Let's go!" Because he's a fucking genius, and he's such a humble dude so I'm gonna toot his horn because he would never say these things. But he's a genius and someone I really look up to.

No rooms to rent Housing Resource says
COLLINGWOOD – People looking for an affordable apartment or room in Collingwood are out of luck.
The Housing Resource Centre has been scanning its lists and has come up empty.
"We just did a search for vacancies in the Collingwood area and there is nothing available," said Lucy Gower, executive director for the Housing Resource Centre.
"This is the first time some of the staff have ever seen this. We still have an immediate need, of course, because we still have people coming in requesting housing, but we are in a position of where we have nothing at all."
Gower is hoping going public may engage landlords who are thinking of listing with the resource centre, "or even of changing or adding a secondary suite to their place," said Gower.
Recently, the County of Simcoe adopted changes to legislation by the province to wave fees for people looking at modifying their homes to accommodate a secondary suite.
"The Secondary Suite program that the county is endorsing and we are endorsing is that you wouldn't have to pay development fees for a secondary suite, and giving incentives there for people wanting to put in a secondary suite," said Collingwood Deputy Mayor Brian Saunderson. "This is something we need because we have currently 34 affordable housing units throughout the county and the county has plans to redevelop that and add another 110 to bring it up to 144 to get to our full contingent for affordable housing."
"We need about 40 secondary suites to come online by 2024 to get us to our local target."
Under the Ontario Renovates program, it provides an interest-free, forgivable loan/grant for urgent home repairs or accessibility modifications.
The funding can also be used to create a secondary suite.
Housing in Collingwood has be difficult in the recent past.
"I think it is basically just a matter of the housing crisis and the housing that is selling quickly and people coming up from areas and purchasing homes. It's just one of those things, but there's a need," said Gower.
Having a roof over your head isn't just a luxury; it is something that affects the whole person, said Gower.
"We know how important it is for people to be housed because once they're housed, so much more can happen for them in a positive way," she said. "They can apply for government grants and they can apply for work, and just that whole sustainability and the opportunity to build a better life for themselves."
In 2016, the Housing Resource Centre had more than 270 individuals who were classified as homeless. These were people on the streets, living in tents when they could, or couch surfing.
In January, the centre saw 15 people who were homeless and another 15 people who were told they had 30 days to find a roof over their head, said Gower.
"We have a lot of clients who never expected to find themselves in this situation, but when they get a hand up and they are back on their feet, they can pay it forward to pay it back," she said.
In the county, there are more than 2,500 people on the wait list for housing.
