Parallel Dual Coil 4 Bridge
This is a modern design dual coil humbucking pickup.
Pickups like these are usually found on very high end basses. They use Alnico V magnets and the traditional bi-pole layout with two poles per string. It's almost like two Jazz Bass® stlye pickups in one cover.
These pickups are available in two different versions.
One set is designed to be wired in parallel, and the other in series.
The reason we do this is that a pickup that is made to sound good wired parallel will usually be too hot and dark sounding if wires in series. So, we put less wire on a series dual coil than a parallel dual coil.
In general, a pickup wired in series will have a fuller and fatter midrange with a subdued high end than a pickup wired in parallel, which will typically have more highs and a deeper low end with a cleaner midrange. Series pickups also have more output than parallel pickups. Parallel pickups are generally a better choice for a split-able installation, as there will not be the gain loss associated with series pickups.
Also available with Alnico III magnets & for wood covers
Alnico III magnets differ from Alnico V in that they are warmer with a softer character. Think of them like a 60's J style sound taken even further down the warm and fat path. Alnico V by contrast is brighter, cleaner and punchier, and will have a more wiry, stringy character. As another example, we'd recommend Alnico III for fretless or a fat 60's Jaco type thing and Alnico V is great for a modern slap type thing or an R & B sound.
Wood cover models are built to fit into wood covers.Nordstrand does not supply wood covers with their pickups. These will have to be built for the pickup.

I was more curious about how many people on list are running clusters that are currently configured to run nodes set up for a minimal kernel or specialized kernel with little multitasking. This fits in the tradeoff I described. Very large clusters shift the marginal benefit curve for the work and expertise required to run a cluster where the nodes are basically very stupid and very specialized. Easiest is to just make a kickstart file or package list for a "rich" node that has more than the bare minimum set of stuff installed, and that can still (for example) run logins and ssh's in userspace (if only for root and administrative users). rgb > > -- > -- Jim > -- > James Cownie <jcownie at cantab.net> > > > > _______________________________________________ > Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf at beowulf.org > To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit > http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf -- Robert G.

Good morning.
Mario and Silvio are stealing the headlines from the fiscal cliff tedium today, and the global markets aren't liking it, especially in Italy, where stocks are dropping and yields are jumping.
The U.S. market shrugged off the selling felt by its cross-Atlantic cousins, holding steady with an eye toward the Fed chairman and what he has to say later this week. Read: Fed, U.S. retail sales in Wall Street's sights.
Of course, the cliff is here to stay for awhile, regardless of what else enters the picture. The latest development brought President Obama together with House Speaker Boehner at the White House last night, in their first face-to-face in weeks.
Key market gauges: Italy's Mario Monti over the weekend said he'll step down, and stocks are reacting to the curve ball with an expected retreat. Italy's FTSE MIB index /quotes/zigman/1482176 XX:FTSEMIB is down more than 3%. The yield on 10-year Italian government bonds /quotes/zigman/4869096/delayed IT:10YR_ITA is tacking on 24 basis points to 4.77%. See: Monti's departure dashes hopes for deus ex machina.
"The U.S. is more concerned about the fiscal cliff, but with the resignation of Mario Monti that will change," said Heino Ruland, strategist at Ruland Research in Eppstein, Germany. Read: Stock futures edge lower; eye Italy turmoil.
Futures on the Dow /quotes/zigman/8750714 DJZ2 and the S&P /quotes/zigman/3102232 SPZ2 recovered from mild losses early to nudge higher.
The buzz: In a piece for the Financial Times, the chairman of the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. and the deputy governor of the Bank of England say their proposal, laid out in a joint release on Monday, represents "the first concrete steps to end the 'too big to fail' problem of large international banks." Read the release.
Among the top trending tickers to start the week, Google /quotes/zigman/93888 /quotes/nls/goog GOOG , Amazon /quotes/zigman/63011 /quotes/nls/amzn AMZN , Facebook /quotes/zigman/9962609 /quotes/nls/fb FB and Apple /quotes/zigman/68270 /quotes/nls/aapl AAPL are on the radar again, with this ode to "The Game of Thrones" from The Economist drawing praise.
McDonald's /quotes/zigman/233369 /quotes/nls/mcd MCD ran all the way to the top of the StockTwits trending list right after the fast-food giant posted strong same-store sales numbers. The stock is up almost 3% shortly before the opening bell.
There's also plenty of chatter as to whether Bloomberg will buy The Financial Times. Or even The New York Times /quotes/zigman/235682 /quotes/nls/nyt NYT ? 24/7 Wall Street's Douglas McIntyre said the paper needs rescuing, and the NY mayor is perhaps the only guy for the job.
Watch for a big rally in shares of Nexen /quotes/zigman/22952 /quotes/nls/nxy NXY . The stock is up 15% premarket after the Canadian industry ministry gave the green light to CNOOC Ltd. /quotes/zigman/274848 /quotes/nls/ceo CEO in its bid to buy Nexen. The deal may spur more M&A in China's energy sector.
The chart of the day: Following a similar call on Bank of America /quotes/zigman/190927 /quotes/nls/bac BAC from MarketWatch's Trading Deck last week, blogger Michael Arold says this breakout looks too good to be ignored. He explains that he'll play it low risk, taking half the final position on the breakout and adding on from there.
The call of the day: Global Macro Monitor takes a tour of some of the more compelling charts across various assets, indices and commodities. The post leads with "probably the most talked about death cross in ages" — Apple's 50-day moving average crossed through its 200-day last week, "leaving the stock technically vulnerable." But, according to the blog, the recent declines will end in "a massive short squeeze sparked by some positive fundamental news."
Random reads: They provoke fear and wonder. They pose a threat to competition. They are the "four big fish" these days, and they have a reputation for arrogance. Read about the battle of the internet giants on The Economist.

Cory English is YOUNG FRANK's New 'Igor' Starting 11/25
Cory English begins as the new Igor in Mel Brooks' award-winning Young Frankenstein this Tuesday, November 25th, at Broadway's Hilton Theatre (213 W 42nd St), joining current cast members Roger Bart, Shuler Hensley, Beth Leavel, Fred Applegate, Michele Ragusa, and Kelly Sullivan. Young Frankenstein's original Igor, Christopher Fitzgerald - Tony nominated for his performance - completes his run Sunday, November, 23rd.
Liz Smith of the New York Post says, "Have you ever gone back to see a Broadway show and found it even BETTER than it was on opening night? SURPRISE! Roger Bart and Company have turned YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN into a fast-paced LAUGH RIOT! The entire cast is simply TERRIFIC. Here's a show you can definitely take the kids to and still have a helluva good time, too," while Pat Collins of MY 9 News declared Young Frankenstein "a monster hit." Jeffrey Lyons of WNBC TV said "this riotously funny musical will knock you clear across 42nd Street" and Roger Friedman of Fox News called it simply, "utter genius."
Unfolding in the forbidding Castle Frankenstein and the foggy moors of Transylvania Heights, the show's raucous score includes "The Transylvania Mania," "He Vas My Boyfriend" and the unforgettable treatment of Irving Berlin's "Puttin' On the Ritz."
CORY ENGLISH is thrilled to be back on Broadway joining the cast and crew of Young Frankenstein. Thank you Susan Stroman. After 12 years of living in New York City and performing in Broadway shows including Forum, Barnaby in Hello Dolly with Carol Channing, Damn Yankees, Guys and Dolls and Gypsy with Tyne Daly, Cory moved to London to study acting at Drama Studio London where he met British actress Eva Alexander. Whilst in the UK, Cory performed in plays Corpus Christi at the Edinburgh festival, Our Father and Comedy of Errors as both Dromios. British television credits include work for the BBC and channel 4. In the West End, Cory took the role of Mary Sunshine in Chicago, Benny Southstreet in Guys and Dolls with Ewan McGregor and Jane Krakowski and starred as Max Bialystock in The Producers at Theatre Royal Drury Lane before touring the same production around the UK winning the Evening Standard's award in Manchester for Best Actor in a touring company.
Tickets for Young Frankenstein are available at Ticketmaster.com, at (212) 307-4100 or at the Hilton Theatre box office. Young Frankenstein plays Tuesday evenings at 7pm and Wednesday - Saturday evenings at 8pm, with matinee performances on Wednesday and Saturday at 2pm and Sunday at 3pm.). All tickets range from $121.50 to $51.50 (including a $1.50 facility fee). $25 orchestra seats are available at most performances.
Based on the Oscar-nominated smash hit 1974 film, Young Frankenstein is the wickedly inspired re-imagining of the Mary Shelley classic from the comic genius of Mel Brooks. When Frederick Frankenstein, an esteemed New York brain surgeon and professor, inherits a castle and laboratory in Transylvania from his grandfather, deranged genius Victor Von Frankenstein, he faces a dilemma. Does he continue to run from his family's tortured past or does he stay in Transylvania to carry on his grandfather's mad experiments reanimating the dead and, in the process, fall in love with his sexy lab assistant Inga? Unfolding in the forbidding Castle Frankenstein and the foggy moors of Transylvania Heights, the show's raucous score includes "The Transylvania Mania," "He Vas My Boyfriend" and the unforgettable treatment of Irving Berlin's "Puttin' On the Ritz."
Released in 1974 to unanimous critical acclaim, the film received two Academy Award nominations, including one for Mel Brooks and Gene Wilder's script, also nominated for a Writer's Guild of America Award for Best Adapted Screenplay. Young Frankenstein was also the recipient of the two highest honors accorded films of science fiction: winning The Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation and The Nebula Award, given by The Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers of America, for Best Dramatic Writing. Since its release, the film has become part of the national consciousness: in 2000, it was selected as #13 on AFI's 100 Funniest American Movies of All Time and in 2003, Young Frankenstein was chosen for preservation in the Library of Congress National Film Registry.
The production team includes three Tony Award winning designers of The Producers: three-time Tony Award winning set designer Robin Wagner, five-time Tony Award winning costume designer William Ivey Long and Tony Award winning lighting designer Peter Kaczorowski. Jonathan Deans is the sound designer.

A physical bag that a hoe will carry with them most of the time. The bag usually contains extra clothing, lube, condoms, tampons, pregnancy test...and other such items that allow her to sleep from place to place with guy to guy. Be aware that one might call this an "emergency bag", that would be bull shit.
Tonya carried a hoe bag the whole time I knew her. Fuckin hoe.

Monday's council meeting started on a cheerful note, as two members of the Warwick Police Department Post 327 Cadet Explorer Program were awarded certificates for their participation in the Learning for Life camp held in West Hartford, Connecticut last summer.
The program, which has been in existence for more than 40 years in Warwick, encourages youth aged 14 to 20 to develop discipline, responsibility and character, while giving them an opportunity to experience what it's like to be a police officer. In 2011, they performed 136 hours of community service within the city.
More than 400 New England participants competed in the event, which consisted of four levels or phases, including basic training and boot camp; advanced basic training and boot camp; serving as a mock police officer; and career development.
Seven participants were from the Warwick program, such as Adonis Martinez, 20, of Cranston, who took home two awards, including physical fitness and leadership excellence, and Amber Lorenz, 18, of West Warwick, who earned the director's award.
Martinez said the best part of the program is learning leadership, teamwork, and helping the community.
"It makes me feel very good because I want to be a police officer," said Martinez, who has been in the program for two years and is studying Criminal Justice at Roger Williams.
Lorenz, a senior at West Warwick High School, has been involved for three years. She said while she enjoys the program, she has different plans for the future.
"Right now, I kind of want to go to school for culinary," Lorenz said. "But, I like the program because you can figure out what the job is like in real life. It's pretty awesome."
During the presentation, Ward 6 Councilwoman Donna Travis, who serves as the vice chair for the programs board of directors, said Martinez and Lorenz represented Warwick well. In an interview, she expressed her feelings further.
"We always hear the negative things kids are doing but this shows the good side," said Travis. "It's nice seeing them grow in fine young men and women. Quite a few of them go on to be police officers, even in other cities. I'm very proud of them."
In attendance at the meeting were Joseph Silvia, the chairperson of the board, Officer James Michailides, one of the advisors, as well as Col. Stephen McCartney. He believes the cadets are assets to Warwick.
"They do a lot of great work and to recognize these two fine young people is absolutely phenomenal," he said in an interview. "I can't say enough about Councilwoman Travis going out of her way to see that these cadets receive a proclamation from the City Council."

Plastic-FREE Fantastic!
As divers we see the direct damage that marine debris, and in particular plastic, is causing our environment and the life in it. Every year tens of thousands of marine animals and seabirds die from eating or getting tangled in our trash that ends up in the ocean.
But the good news is people around the world are taking active steps both in and out of the water to help avert the marine debris crisis. From Dive Against Debris surveys to going plastic-free, every action you take is a positive step towards a healthier and cleaner ocean planet. I caught up with Brigit Jager (Educational Consultant for PADI Asia Pacific, Training and Quality Management) to hear about her Plastic-Free July experience.
Q: What made you take on the challenge of doing Plastic Free July?
BJ: When I saw this campaign on Facebook, I immediately registered to join. There's just so much plastic around us! As a diver, you see first-hand where it all ends up – in the ocean. It really is suffocating all sorts of life, not just in the ocean but on land as well. We as consumers can be responsible in what we choose to buy but I think the manufacturers also have a responsibility – is it really necessary to package a single item two or three times in plastic?
Q: What was the hardest part?
BJ: Takeaway coffee – there was one occasion when I bought a coffee, walked away and realised I had a plastic lid on the cup. I was so annoyed! And before you ask, yes: I now use my own mug and will buy one of those reusable environment-friendly ones for sure! Throughout July (and forever since) I did try and reuse anything that I did buy that unavoidably had plastic packaging in one way or another – after all, this campaign was specific to single use plastic.
Q: What did you have in your dilemma bag at the end of the month?
BJ: More than I would have expected! The majority of the single use plastic was wrappers – everything is wrapped and double wrapped in plastic. Whenever I Dive Against Debris, wrappers are always the number one item collected in my experience. I bought a long bench pillow – that was wrapped in plastic (which I gave a second life and reused as my dilemma bag). Other items included things like a shampoo container – items that are used over a longer period of time but still packaged in plastic. Even if there are re-fills available, they are often packaged in plastic as well – it's really very hard to avoid single use plastic altogether!
Q: What habits will you keep?
BJ: For a start, I won't use straws and coffee lids. I'll continue to use reusable items such as bags, drink bottles, containers etc. and steer clear of single use plastics. Picking up bits of plastic that I come across during walks or during dives is something I've always done and will continue to do – disposing of them appropriately. I think most importantly, I'll keep trying to raise awareness – making it a point of discussion wherever possible, chatting to kids about it, sharing on social media, highlighting the issue to friends and family. Not just simply saying "don't use plastics" but explaining why we shouldn't and the ways we can help reduce the amount of plastics we consume.
Q: What have you learnt?
BJ: That there is too much plastic! For me, it was astonishing and surprising to see how much single use plastic you use even when you are actively trying not to use much – and that was just me, one person, during one month, where I was being extra careful. It's scary, when you think about it on a larger scale. It was a really valuable experience for me and I think it's a fantastic way to raise awareness – awareness is key.
Thanks Brigit, it's awesome to have advocates like you doing great things to help raise awareness and protect the environment.
This September is Debris Month of Action and we are calling on all you ocean heroes out there to grab your fins, jump in and Dive Against Debris. Help stop trash choking our precious marine life. The rubbish you collect, the data you report and the photos you take all help portray the underwater perspective of the marine debris crisis – all of which will help inform policy and improve waste management stopping trash at the source. So what are you waiting for? Start your action by taking the pledge and become a Dive Against Debris Hero!

Product: 5 out of 5
Packaging: 5 out of 5
Overall: 5 out of 5
Like Aileen from Shades of U, I find this to also be my holy grail of primers. I have tried many face primers before, from Smashbox Photo Finish, Pure Luxe Eraser, Laura Geller Spackle, Laura Mercier, the list goes on and on...I really like Pure Luxe Eraser as well, but the Camellia Rose Primer is wonderful! Nothing remotely compares to it that I have tried so far.
The one thing I refuse to pay A LOT for, is a primer. It's not necessary to shell out $35+ for something you can't see, and goes under your makeup. Most of the time, it causes me to have a pimple or two because of all the ingredients in it.
I know some people are sensitive to any type of silicone or certain oils, and as much as I have sensitive skin, my face actually loves and tolerates this stuff! I have always wanted to try Jen's Primer (owner of Camellia-Rose.com), she had a baby and closed up shop for awhile, but she recently re-opened business, and I was one of the many people first in line to nab this awesome primer!
What I LOVE about it: First of all, I absolutely love the smell! I can't quite describe it, but it reminds me of a teabag and it's just heaven on my face. Mine came in a jar, but from what I hear, it now comes in a pump. I know some prefer the pump to the jar simply for sanitary reasons, but I can go either way, doesn't really matter to me because it's awesome! The best part? I have used it for over 2 weeks now, and have NOT received any kind of a bad reaction, not a pimple, not a rash, no redness, nada. I can only speak for myself, but for you ladies who have super sensitive skin, she has a new formula/new version, V 2.0, in which squalane and red raspberry is replaced with Camellia Oil (really good for your skin) and Rice Bran Oil!
Jen is also wonderful, great customer service, and I love how she is able to manage and really remain one on one with all her customers! Juggling her own business and kids is hard work, yet this woman is incredible!
The ingredients in the ORIGINAL formula is: Dimethicone, Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Silica, Squalane, Watermelon Seed Oil, Red Raspberry Oil
What I HATE about it: Absolutely NOTHING! I need to stock up on this stuff!
Overall: Let's just say I am putting in another order NOW.....:)
***EDIT*** in response to comments, YES you can use this primer for ALL kinds of foundation (I used it under my Maybelline Liquid Foundation, Mineral Foundation, etc.), the consistency is a gel, and it seriously is my favorite at the moment!

Hi Vanessa!
I have a quick questionto a problem I'm having. What is your solution to smuding eyeliner? My eyeliner on my bottom lashes always smudge & I've used pencil, liquid & gel but they all smudge badly.
Aww, I was hoping to try the primer, but I just recently bought MAC's Prep&Prime. Maybe next time when I run out of primer I'll try this!

Hi Nessa,
I heard a lot of great reviews for this primer BUT my only concern is.. can you use this as a primer for liquid foundation? Or is this primer meant only for minerals?
lol, I usually base what I buy from your reviews!

What sort of consistency is this primer? I noticed there are several oils in it and was wondering if it's similar to my Rose Salve which I LOVE,I just bought 2 more jars even though I have 3 open. Thanks!

She's serious but it's not the same that treats yeast infections. It's anti-chaffing gel - a totally different product by monistat.

OOOH, I'm almost finished my primer so I've been keeping my eye out for a new one. I agree with you, Vanessa, that you shouldn't shell out a ton of money for a primer since it won't be seen anyway. Is this primer a silicone or water-based one? Is it available online or at drugstores?

I knew you'd love it! I remember when I first tried it during the summer time I recommended it to you! Unfortunately, my skin hates red raspberry seed oil and now that she has the V 2.0 I've ordered a sample of it. :D Hoping I don't react to it! :D

Yay for Jen's primer! Don't worry, I'm still using the one in the jar, and as long as we use clean hands, I don't think we need to worry about bacteria getting into it. I've had mine since July I think and I'm only halfway done with it. This is so economical!Camellia-Rose is also a lot better than Smashbox and even Pureluxe IMO. Pureluxe is okay but the size is just waaaay to small for $16; what a ripoff. Laura Geller's spackle makes me oily, shiny and my face so sticky. Like you I haven't used a primer as great as Jen's. I just ordered her version 2.0 for sensitive skin, and she also has a non-silicone one coming up. :)

Hey Vanessa!
I'm just wondering, in your opinion, would this primer be safe for super oily and acne prone skin? I see it has "oils" in it, like that watermelon seed oil, and I'm wondering if you feel that it's okay to use for crazy skin like mine.
Thanks so much! (sorry for constantly asking so many questions ;.;)

Olive Leaf (Olea europaea)Latin Name: Olea europaea
Common Names: Olive Leaf
There are some medicinal herbs which have been present in the treatment of health problems for so long, that they are often overlooked. Olea europaea, or Olive Leaf, is one of these herbs. The Olive Leaf was once considered one of the best natural herbs to be taken during ancient times. Today its benefits are being rediscovered.
The Olive Leaf comes from a small, evergreen tree, which grows to about twenty feet or more in height. Native to Asia Minor and Syria, the Olive Leaf is cultivated in several Mediterranean countries, Chile, Peru and South Australia.
The benefits of Olive Leaf Cut and Sifted are recently emerging as a most promising and unique medicinal herb with multiple applications. Numerous scientific studies are currently being conducted to investigate the beneficial properties of the Olive Leaf herb.

Samuel Peng, a Germantown Friends School Class of 2016 international student from China, is asking fifth graders at GFS and in rural China, "What are your dreams?" The Lower School students drew pictures of their dreams and goals to compare with the dreams of their peers in China.
"I want to provide the bridge to help kids everywhere work together to achieve their dreams and for every child to know that they are equal," Peng explained.
On a recent Wednesday morning, he and fellow Chinese international student Sabrina Song, also Class of 2016, taught the GFS fifth graders about Chinese culture and the rural province of Yunnan, a place where kids often don't believe that dreams can come true. He shared stories of a Chinese child who dreams of playing basketball,but has never even held a basketball; and of another child who dreams of going to college but doesn't even attend school.
The GFS students' dream pictures included depictions of a cleaner, pollution-free world; a home for stray cats; and aspirations of becoming famous writers, artists and singers. Fifth-grader Imogen Law said, "dreams are important because they are your hopes for the future."
The students told Peng that they believe that most of their dreams could come true.
"The world can become more like what you want it to be," said fifth-grader Diallo Rabb. "Martin Luther King had a dream – he had a lot of dreams – but mostly he didn't want there to be segregation."
Peng is working on connecting these GFS dreamers with kids in China through a pen pal program.
"The Earth is like a village," he said, "and using the Internet it is easy to connect people.
The students and teachers at GFS have helped me live my dream of studying in America. And now he has a new dream, too: "I want to do what I can to help more people in China and around the world live their dreams."

Here is my latest amp sim. It's a preamp sim roughly based on a famous German gear. It has 2 channels and 2 modes per channel. Each channels/modes share the same features. Apart from the usual tone controls (drive, low, mid, high and contour), each channels/modes offer two different tone stacks that can be accessed via the focus switches. Bottom and bright switches can be used to boost the low and the high frequencies respectively. On the low gain channel only (Clean/Crunch), the effectiveness of the bright switch decreases with the gain settings.
A big thank to requietus for the beautiful GUI. Go visit his site, you will find a lot of interesting things.
Thanks also to the testers from ABG: Todd, John, DigitalMan and Shogger. Thanks also too Alu and cococo from GAM as well as onqel from sneap's forum for testing.

i have been working painlessly on a database on the caches in Arkansas and it is almost complete. this process has become alot bigger than i had expected. i finally got all the caches in the database but i am in the process of updating the cache data which is adding all the logs and other info. not sure how much longer this will take as i hit the max download of 6000 everyday for 2 weeks now and i have no idea how much more it will take.
i will be making this database available to everyone. i think the best way to keep the data base current is work it at the end or beginning of every month. that way you can pull a query for the month and add the new caches from the month. as for the logs i don't know if i will ever have it completely up to date.
i want to use this to have a GSAK class for beginners including me. Date to be determined soon.
let me know if you are interested in a copy of the database and once it is current i will get you a copy. it will be up to you to keep it current.

Kayaker From South Dakota Missing Along Minnesota River
COURTLAND, Minn. (AP) - Authorities have resumed the search for a kayaker from South Dakota who disappeared along the Minnesota River over the weekend.
Reports say the kayaker has been identified as 51-year-old Stephen Fritze of Watertown, S.D.
The Nicollet County sheriff's office says Fritze and two friends were kayaking on the river near Courtland on Saturday when brush caused their watercrafts to overturn. The two friends were able to make it to shore but Fritze did not.
Officials believe Fritze was not wearing a life jacket.
Rescue crews were continuing to search for him Sunday.

Dubble Bubble Snow Balls
Christmas candy is mostly about peppermint and chocolate and shiny colored foil wrapping. Holiday gum is rather unusual, so I was pleased to see Concord Confections part of the Tootsie Roll company has a variety for winter: Dubble Bubble Snow Balls.
I enjoy novelty gums for the same reason I enjoy other candy coated morsels: they're fun to look at before eating. The Snow Balls are extremely cute. Each is the size of a garbanzo bean and rattle around easily in the theater size box. What I also liked about this particular gum was that they were white ... there was no artificial coloring (though there is titanium dioxide as a whitener), so I didn't have to worry about anything getting into the flavor except what they intended as the flavor. The gum is made with sugar and corn syrup with no artificial sweeteners.
The pieces are beautiful. They're rough and white and though spherical, they don't roll around. The bite was wonderfully soft and easy to chew, but the flavor is ... well, it's kind of like fabric softener at first. It's floral - somewhere in the neighborhood of violet and maybe musk. After chewing (two pieces seemed like a good portion), the crunchy shell and gum base were very soft. However, within a minute, the sugar dissipated to the point that the gum was getting quite stiff ... another two minutes and it was an unchewable lump that was less appealing than a wad of paper. My style is to switch out at that point anyway, so I just spit out the first piece and repeat.
Now, since this was bubble gum, I should comment on those qualities. It works. The bubbles can't get that big, as the gum base is too stiff and unforgiving. But it's not particularly sticky, which is a plus. But it's most definitely not bubble gum flavored, and any children you give this to might be turned off by the soapy notes.
After chewing, even a half hour later, I did notice a lingering floral taste in my mouth, rather like jasmine tea.
Dubble Bubble is peanut free and gluten free ... and in this instance is also free from dyes but may contain traces of soy. The gumballs are made in Canada.

Dubble Bubble Gum Cigars
I bought these Bubble Gum Cigars while on vacation last month, mostly because it'd be so longer since I'd seen the full array of the flavors in quite a long time. They're made by Concord Confections in Canada which is now owned by Tootsie. (They also make Dubble Bubble Gum.)
I picked out three of them, in a standard array of colors orange, green and yellow. Each has a special name on the band, which is smaller than the standard cigar band (so I can't wear it as a ring, even on my pinky). The wrapping is simple, just a clear cellophane sleeve, all were fresh and pliable (though if you'll notice I dropped the orange one and it broke into pieces).
Cigars have faded a bit from pop culture, but starting sometime in the early 20th century it was common to celebrate a new baby with a gifting of cigars to friends (mostly by the father to friends, coworkers and contacts). As something that children today are aware of, it's kind of an anachronism, as I know I can go months without even catching a whiff of the scent of a cigar, much less actually seeing someone smoking one. The relationship between real cigars and bubble gum ones is so far removed, I don't think anyone can say that they actually improve the opinion folks have of tobacco. The reverse is probably true, the shape and association of a cigar with a children's chewing gum is more likely a hindrance to sales.
El Bubble is green and Apple Flavored. I admit that I'm kind of a gum purist. Chewing gum should be mint, cinnamon or that Juicyfruit flavor ... and bubble gum should be bubble gum flavored. None of these cigars is actually bubble gum flavored (I couldn't find a pink one). The apple is actually rather more on the actual apple juice flavor side of things than tangy green apple. It's sweet and light. Even after the sugar fades, it's not offensive or even very strong at all. I don't think anyone sitting near me would recognize the flavor.
The gum is soft and easy to chew. It's gets very soft and grainy quickly, kind of made my mouth fill up with saliva. But a little chewing and the gum firms up into a stiff enough piece that makes decent bubbles.
Gold Dragon is yellow and Banana Flavored. Banana is a rare flavor of gum in general, so it's nice to find. I'm sure there are some sort of Freudian/Mae West jokes about cigars and bananas, as well. The chew is soft and sugary with a mild and sweet banana flavor. Eventually as the sugar fades the flavor is much more artificial and caustic. Bubble blown at this point end up filled with noxious vapors like walking into a poorly ventilated nail spa.
Wild Tiger is orange and Orange Flavored. It's a purely sweet affair here, sickly sweet with only a touch of orange flavoring. Don't worry, it' doesn't taste like Aspergum, that would be too intense. Instead it's more like some sort of sugar paste that was next to something orange flavored at one point.
They're a fun little piece of gum, mostly inoffensive and colorful. They could easily just be little rods of gum or tubes ... but the idea of the little bands and their colorful names is the one bit of novelty here I enjoyed. The gum itself was passable, but I'm sure something that kids would chewy like I do ... just long enough to get the sugar out, then blow a few bubbles and move on.

Dubble Bubble Chewola Bubble Gum Crayons
I spied these at the check out aisle of the 99 Cent Store and figured they were Dubble Bubble ... and they know gum. The Chewola Bubble Gum box looks like it holds a small set of crayons like you'd get in a favor bag at a party or at a restaurant with your "shut up and let the parents enjoy food they didn't cook" meal.
The problem with the package right at the start is that they look even more generic than Prang. Ever get generic crayons? They're filled with pebbles, floor sweepings and smell like rendered road kill. (Non-toxic? Maybe, but not even the weirdest kids would eat those.) Happily these smelled like powdered sugar.
First real issue: they're not fully styled as crayons (as the box depicts). I mean, what sort of twisted & cruel adult would give kids unsharpened crayons? 90% of the fun of a pristine box of crayons is the fresh point. How many of us eschew the colors that have the tips broken off before you even opened the box?
Instead they look an awful lot like candy cigarettes. They even have that satisfying "smoke blow" when you puff against one end to get the waft of corn starch through the wrapper.
Two of the crayons were red. That means 40% of the package is one color. How would you like it if you opened your box of 264 Crayolas and 105 of them were the same shade of red? How creative would you feel? Especially when you did those drawings for the nice talking doctor that your parents sent you to, don't you think he'd be inclined to think you were abnormally angry because you used so much red in your drawings? Do you think he'd understand that it's not your fault, that you can only use the tools you're provided ... and if you're given angry colors, then well, you're going to make angry looking drawings? (But look at the box, it has happy kids that say happy things in red like "A TIME TO LOVE.")
So packaging & childhood traumas aside (not my traumas ... those were for hilarious effect, right, you get that, right?) they're just rods of gum.
Purple is an extremely mild grape. A kind of stiff chew at first with a vague fake grape flavor. It was sweet, very very sweet. So sweet that I reread the ingredients because this couldn't possibly be just sugar. But it was.
A single crayon makes for a good sized piece for bubble blowing. It took a while to chew away enough sugar. The gum wasn't grainy like many gums, so it was hard to know quite when it was ready without some trials. The final bubbles were decent, not huge but satisfying.
The gum didn't stick to my dental work, so that was a plus.
Red is cherry. Again, very sweet but at least a bit stronger in flavor.
Orange was orange. It was really chalky and messy with all the corn starch on it, but after that it was pretty flavorful ... it reminded me of Froot Loops. Mmm, why didn't they ever make a Froot Loops gum ... the little pieces could be shaped like little Froot Loops.
Green was a surprise. I thought it'd be lime or green apple, instead it's wintergreen. Rather pleasant, the best of the set of flavors.
The gum was decent, the theming was pretty good. (Ultimately I think putting two reds in there is probably a good plan, especially when kids are supposed to share and then there are no fights.) I wish it was a bit fresher, but I bought it at the 99 Cent Store, so I give a little bit more leeway. They would make a nice themed favor or decoration at a party. There's also a lot of gum in the box for the price.
Special Bonus: because it's a tuck-flap box, when emptied it works spectacularly as a noisemaker.

Short & Sweet: Tropical Flavors
As I was on my little candy walkabout late last week I noticed a lot of popular candies have a tropical flavor mix. So I decided to start picking them all up and do a little roundup.
For the most part I consider the tropical flavors to be pineapple, mango, papaya, durian (not that I advocate its use), carambola (starfruit), passionfruit, banana, lychee, guava and coconut. Citrus goes in there but things like strawberries and melons are definitely not a tropical fruit (my rule is if it can be grown in Ohio, it's not tropical).
First, I have to say that I've never had Nerds Rope before. It arrived on the scene sometime after my candy experimental days (you know, when you're a kid) but before it was launched as a new product during my Candy Blog phase.
But the concept is simple, a sticky gummi rope is rolled in Nerds. In this case it's a Tropical Nerds Rope.
The candy is kind of odd in that it's rather over-packaged and overpriced (look how long the rope is compared to the wrapper). It's less than an ounce but costs the same as a regular candy bar. But then again, it's a 100 calorie snack! (90 to be precise.)
There are no flavors actually mentioned on the packages, just eensy images of Nerds in swim trunks and flower leis. In this case the gummi cord at the center is a sparkly green. The tangy Nerds are mostly pineapple tasting.
The chewy center and excellent Nerd stickage makes this much less messy than I had anticipated. The combination of textures and flavors is really nice. I enjoy the pineapple quite a bit (maybe some papaya in there) and don't really feel the need to try any other flavor after this. (I could see a build your own rope kit too, a little length of gummi and kids could roll their own.)

Now and Later were off limits to me for a long time, mostly because I thought they were too risky for my teeth. But now that I have a good dentist, I'm not as apt to give into such unfounded fears.
Tropical Now and Later has a flavor assortment that's right up my alley: Mango Melon, Pineapple and Banana. (I've never met a yellow flavor I didn't like.)
Often mango flavored candies taste a lot like peach to me. And peach flavored candies often taste more like over-syruped peach pie than actual peaches. This was pretty much like that. The dominant flavor was of the musky mango with a little cantaloupe thrown in.
It got tangier the more I chewed, which I enjoyed, because that took over the flavor profile for the most part.
These are everything you'd expect from a banana taffy. Bold and artificial tasting with a strange blast of dry cleaning smell in the back of my throat and the old standby - fingernail polish remover.
Still, I love banana taffy.
This is only slightly lighter than the Banana, but luckily they print the name of the flavor on there.
Tangy and fruity but with a strange, warm Play Doh note in the middle.
I found them pretty much irresistible even if they were rather fake.

On the back of the box of Mike and Ike Tropical Typhoon is a flavor guide. It includes little images of fruits: banana, kiwi, lime, mango, strawberry and pineapple (also on the front).
The flavors, on the other hand, don't quite match up.
Blue = Caribbean Punch: the initial flavor is a bit green & pine-ish. Then it becomes more punch-like. It's all sweet and no tangy.
Peach = Mango: a little tart at first, then rather floral. Not exactly mango but definitely not peach and the longer I chewed the closer it got to the rosemary notes that mangoes have.
Red = Strawberry-Banana: the initial note here is sweet banana, then a little strawberry bobs by for a little floral note.
Green = Kiwi-Banana: it starts like the strawberry banana but then just stops ... it's not that it's an all banana flavored Mike and Ike, but just half-flavored. Some of them had a slight tangy melon flavor on the shell, but not all of them and it certainly didn't taste like kiwi to me.
Pink = Paradise Punch : just a slight tingle of tangy in there, but it's mostly a sweet punch flavor ... like the Caribbean Punch but without the strange balsam notes.
Overall, too much like the original Mike and Ike - too bland and not enough real punchy flavor in there. I really wanted some pineapple flavor in there, too. I'll stick to Tangy Twister (which has Pineapple) or the Alex's Lemonade Stand mixes.

I have to say that I've always regarded the Tootsie company as rather traditional and slow to adopt to changing American tastes. But then it's like they have this strange rebellious group known as the Dots Makers. They're fully encouraged to do bizarre flavor assortments from the crazy Ghost Dots at Halloween (to be paired with Bat Dots this year which are Blood Orange flavored - which I would have called Blood Dots) then the Yogurt Dots but the real innovation came in the limited edition line called Elements that came in single flavor packages of Cinnamon, Green Tea, Wintergreen and Pomegranate.
So Tropical Dots are kind of tame in comparison, but they must be popular because they've been around since 2003.
Bright Pink = Tropical Nectar: it tastes like Hawaiian Punch with a strong bitter aftertaste. Sweet, tangy and definitely with that "tropical candy flavor" that I think is papaya.
Orange = Wild Mango: tart and rather citrusy with a pretty good imitation of mango flavor in there. Still tastes like the mango version of Tang.
Turquoise = Paradise Punch: an insane color for a candy, it's rather similar to the Tropical Nectar but with more of a citrus twang to it and less aftertaste.
Yellow = Grapefruit Cooler: why didn't someone tell me there was a grapefruit Dot? These are fabulous and I want to buy them by the box. The first notes are tangy then there's a deep zesty flavor that has a black cherry note to it that dissipates and then it's just a nice grapefruit & citrus flavor.
Green = Carambola Melon: - when my mother came to visit last time we went to a new Korean market in Little Tokyo (that replaced my favorite market, Mitsuwa). They had these little melons called Korean Melons ... they were small, about the size of a papaya or mango. Bright yellow with some mild bumps and distinct ridges. I bought two. I cut them up and was rather unimpressed with the flavor - like weak Musk Melon. The problem was later in the evening I kept smelling something like garbage. I turned out it was the melon. (I really like the idea of a one-serving melon though.)
Anyway, this one is supposed to be starfruit and melon. I don't know starfruit that well. I usually eat it off of garnishes at dessert displays, but I've never actually bought my own from the produce department and tasted it. It had a rather musty taste to it that was also on the violet side of things ... it was just weird, but not in a terrible way, just in a "this is new to me" way.
The box was wrapped in cellophane so the Dots were soft and fresh. This didn't stop them from sticking to my teeth, but still, it's worth it for their smooth texture.

The final item on my list is Tropical Razzles.
Like all Razzles, they look terrible out of the package.
Yellow = Pineapple: Nice tangy burst but with a light flavor & texture of a chewable vitamin C tablet. It holds its flavor pretty well, though becomes less tart and more sweet towards the end when it becomes as appealing and chewed paper.
Pink = Strawberry-Banana: nice mix of strawberry & banana notes, almost reminds me of the old Wacky Wafers at first. Chewing too long just disappoints, I vote for spitting out when it become sweet but the grain wanes.
Red = Tropical Punch: definitely like Hawaiian punch. Strong bitter aftertaste & cherry notes towards the end. The gum was much tougher on this one too.
Orange = Tangerine: more orange than tangerine. The tangy notes aren't as forward as some of the others. When the flavor is gone there's a weird metallic aftertaste.
Green = Kiwi-Lime: if there was kiwi in here, I missed it completely. This was lime. Very lime, nicely tangy with a little bitter zest note (or maybe the food coloring).
Overall, I think that Razzles suffer from too much artificial coloring. After chewing the pieces they're extremely dark & vibrant ... that's a lot of food coloring. If I wanted to treat it like candy (which I do), it means a lot of sticky leftover bits in a very short period of time.

Baby Bottle Pacifier Tarts
There are some candies that are placed very low on the shelves at drug stores and grocers for a reason, they're appealing to little people. And until I started shopping the bottom shelf, there was a lot of stuff that never even entered my candy radar.
This little baby bottle filled with compressed dextrose tarts is one such candy. It's made by a small company called Imperial Toy and they haven't even bothered to name the product. So I'm just going to call them Baby Bottle Pacifier Tarts. Once I took off the clear plastic shrink wrap, there's no branding on here at all.
The little bottle is an actual toy baby bottle, complete with a rubber nipple with a hole in it, so as to make a mess with your little baby doll that actually drinks, or maybe it doesn't. (Here's a tip, don't put actual milk in your doll that actually drinks. It's fun at first, but then your doll smells like spoiled milk.)
The bottle holds 1.5 ounces of candy, so it's a nice size and of course refillable with candy or kids can use it as a toy bottle for their dolls.
The candies come in cherry, orange, lemon, lime and ... um, I think the blue one is pineapple.
The little compressed dextrose candies are cute, a great size an the pacifier shape is nicely done. The flavor isn't very strong, certainly not as strong as SweeTarts. I'd liken these to Smarties, but perhaps a little harder and a little more flavorful (well, and a little more colorful).
I think these are called "Oh Baby! Pacifier Candy" and made in Canada by Concord Confections. I've seen them in bulk at candy stores and advertised as a favor-filler on sites that specialize in baby shows and the like. Since you can buy them in bulk, I suppose you can make your own little filled favors for parties. Since this was $1.09 at the drug store, it may be a less expensive way to go. (Concord also makes the super-fun Candy Blox.)
As a novelty item, this doesn't really do much for me, but then again I don't recall actually having a doll when I was a girl (I know I must have had one, but I don't remember her ... I remember my sister had that doll that grew her long blonde hair when you pushed a button on her tummy). I see this as more of a "favor" item or stocking stuffer. As a candy container, it's cute but of course once you take it out of its plastic wrap, it doesn't work very well to keep moisture out because there's a hole in the nipple.

Candy Blox
I dunno why I bought these, but I've seen then online a few times and when I was at Munchies a few weeks ago, I just had to give them a try.
They're a compressed dextrose candy (what I call chalk candy) shaped like Lego building blocks. They're about the same size and work the same, only without the firm snap to keep things together. Some of my little candies were actually missing their nubs, but they had enough to build little walls and stuff.
They were actually different flavors:
White - Pineapple - tart and a little bitter, but really tasty.
They were very hard and very dense, so crunching on them wasn't really that easy. They were more for sucking, but of course they're kind of pointy.
I know I don't sound excited by them, but I actually liked them quite a bit. I would buy them again, but probably only for a project. Or maybe just because I want something to play with on my desk. If I got them from a bulk bin I'd probably pull out just the yellow, white and orange ones. I think by the pound they're cheaper than Lego.
How cool would it be if they made candy Lego-ish mini-figures?

Razzles are an oddity. They seem to be the jack-of-all trades of the candy world. Billed, "First it's Candy ... Then It's Gum!" I have to admit it doesn't do either particularly well.
The package for these Razzles is particularly attractive, and that's often enough to get me to buy something. That's the wonder of candy, even if you're disappointed, you're rarely out more than a dollar.
The package, of course, makes the Razzles look better than they actually are. They're not the sassy looking, colorful pieces on the package. Theyr'e rather grainy looking and kind of crumbly. Chewing them gives a burst of sweetness followed by some tart. I chose three orange ones for my first Razzles in probably 20 years. They were disappointingly bland, but did turn into gum more faithfully than I remember when I was a kid. The gum has a nice lingering essence, but little sugar to jazz it up. This is not bubble gum either, in case you were going to make some attempts.
Orange: bland and lacking in any zesty punch. Lemon: Solid, good mix of essence and tart. Grape: not as chemical as some others, had an odd sort of ginseng/root flavor to it. Blueberry: pretty good, kind of grapey and kind of like raspberry. Raspberry: nice and flowery tasting with some good tart bite to it and a little hint of cotton candy but it doesn't wear well, the flavor is gone before the sugar is.
The color when it becomes gum is far more vibrant - the lemon became a lusturous saffron yellow and the dirty looking grape became, um, inky and the blueberry was positively turquoise.
These had a pretty powerful smell of chemicals. And they are SOUR. This package had more defects in it - three of the candies were noticeably darker than the others and just didn't seem "right" so I didn't eat them.
Lime: puckeringly sour with a good hint of lime essence. The sour stays with the gum well after the rest of the flavor is gone. Blue Raspberry pretty much like the regular raspberry but intensely sour with a rather salty taste to it as well (I know there's no sodium in there). Orange: straight up sour with some nice fruity flavors. Lemon: I figured this one was going to be really sour after those lime ones and I wasn't disappointed. Much better than the regular Razzle, if you could just buy these, I think they'd do very well. I didn't get any Cherry ones in this batch for some reason, so I can't comment on that flavor.
I don't think Razzles have won me over. They're a nice novelty and the gum part isn't bad, but the candy part is pretty awful. It's not smooth and the flavors are uneven. The appearance is also kind of off-putting. I wonder if they've ever considered candy coating them like a Spree or Chicklet.

Shore Break Standard Sham
Believing that African crafts had been overlooked by globalization and were in danger of disappearing, the founders of Tensira envisioned a company that would promote West African creations. Today, Tensira has more than 40 full-time employees in its Republic of Guinea workshops who weave, dye, and sew the linen used in the company's designs, and the company also works with dozens of independent artisans who thread, shell kapok, and dye indigo. Tensira has also organized a training school for young people in the area who want to become professional weavers, and it offers its employees fair salaries—one full-time salary covers the living expenses for approximately ten family members—and good working conditions.
- All fabrics are 100% cotton, hand-spun, hand-woven, and hand-dyed in Tensira's workshops in Guinea, West Africa
- Irregularities in the fabric's texture and slight variations in its colors are characteristic of the artisanal technique and not a defect
- Pillow insert not included

The FDA has issued two new draft guidances regarding "home brews" (i.e.,"in-house") and in vitro diagnostic tests.
The first guidance clarified a previous Analyte Specific Reagent (ASR) rule put forth by the FDA to establish guidelines for in-house test components. The draft guidance on ASRs also focused on the marketing strategies of ASR manufacturers.
Generally, the FDA recommended that an ASR should not be bundled with other ASRs, or other general reagents that portray that ASR as part of a test kit or system. The FDA further specified that an ASR cannot be marketed in a manner that gives the ASR a clear intentional use. The FDA asserts that ASRs marketed in such manner are subject to premarket review requirements.
The FDA's second draft guidance clarifies regulations set forth by the FDA on In Vitro Diagnostic Multivariate Index Assays (IVDMIAs).
The FDA is working towards monitoring in-house tests by imposing regulations on the main components, which include, but are not limited to, ASRs (mentioned above), general purpose equipment, reagents or other laboratory instrumentation. The FDA does not consider that IVDMIAs fall under any of these currently regulated categories and clarifies, with this guidance, that any such in-house test that use IVDMIAs are subject to additional scrutiny by the FDA, such as pre- and post-market requirements.
These draft guidances reflect FDA's efforts to address the increasing number of "home brew" tests available to consumers.

This year's national teacher of the year _ Sean McComb of Patapsco High School and Center for the Arts in Baltimore _ was honored in the East Room of the White House on Thursday as President Barack Obama recapped the story of his early life.
"When Sean was a high school student, he dealt with some pretty serious problems at home and spent his days feeling apathetic and disengaged. And then he entered Mr. Schurtz's English class. And Mr. Schurtz was one of those teachers who changes everything. He made Sean want to work hard.

"When Sean's mom passed away, Mr. Schurtz gave Sean the strength to deliver her eulogy. When Sean went to college, it was, as he put it, through the force of Mr. Schurtz's will," Obama said. "So Sean himself saw the impact that a teacher could have in a child's life. And it was Mr. Schurtz's example that led Sean to become an English teacher himself."
McComb now works with students who need extra help in his school's AVID program, short for Advancement Via Individual Determination.
Obama wrapped up his remarks by thanking all the nation's teachers.
"You're doing the Lord's work," he said.

EDMONDS — And now Eric Agol can claim to having planetary "twins."
Agol, the University of Washington astronomer whose discovery of a planet was announced last year, is now credited with finding another.
The planet, Kepler-62f, is one of five planets in the same planetary system. It's being called the most "Earth-like" planet found outside the solar system — way outside the solar system.
The star it revolves around is 1,200 light-years away. Even at that distance, "it's in the neighborhood, as far as the galaxy is concerned," Agol said.
Kepler-62f is about 1.4 times the size of Earth and circles its star in 267.3 days, almost 100 days shorter than an Earth year.
This planetary finding is more exciting than last year's, Agol said. Although it's similar in size, it has a cooler temperature. It's cool enough to have Earth-like liquid water, rather than a steamy atmosphere or no atmosphere at all, he said.
"It has properties more similar to Earth's than others we've found," Agol said.
The discovery of the planets was published Thursday in the online edition of the journal Science.
Agol, 42, who lives in Edmonds, is an astrophysicist and associate professor of astronomy who says his true love is physics and math. "I didn't own a telescope until I got my Ph.D," he said.
The recent discovery of planets with rocky surfaces and temperatures likely for liquid water "brings us a bit closer to finding a place like home," NASA administrator John Grunsfeld said in a statement. "It is only a matter of time before we know if the galaxy is home to a multitude of planets like Earth, or if we are a rarity."
The detective work to find planets outside the solar system is being conducted by the Kepler telescope, launched in 2009 by NASA. Its mission is to detect Earth-sized planets in orbits around stars similar to the sun.
In August, scientists found three planets circling a star. And then came the moment when Agol thought he had spotted another.
"I identified this as a candidate, did some modeling … and confirmed this was actually a planet," Agol said.
"It was pretty convincing right away," he said. "It was just a coincidence that they had missed it."
Agol has been working on the Kepler project about two years, using new software and mathematic calculations to try to detect new planets that may have been missed in other searches.
The Kepler space telescope measures the brightness of more than 150,000 stars. But even with so much to keep watch on, it can only cover 1/400th of the entire sky, Agol said.
The work is done by a digital camera on the spacecraft, which takes a picture of one portion of the sky every six seconds. Those images are added together with pictures taken over a half hour. They're sent to Earth, processed by NASA, and then made available to scientists.
The star the new planet is revolving around is faint compared to other nearby stars, but still can be spotted by an amateur astronomer using a telescope, Agol said.
Although the Kepler mission has discovered 122 planets so far, the discovery of Kepler-62f, the planet with such an unassuming name, was special.
"This turned out to be one of the most interesting ones to date," he said.

There is a reason that LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification for 'Existing Buildings: Operations and Maintenance' (EBOM) is the fastest growing segment in U.S. Green Building Council's LEED rating system: it makes good business sense.
In California, the number of LEED EBOM registered projects has jumped over 300 percent since 2008 (Source: Greenbiz.com). Since the beginning of the year, Waste Management has been working with more than a dozen new LEED EBOM projects in Atlanta; these include commercial buildings ranging from 150 thousand to 1 million square feet.
As companies advance sustainable business practices, they are looking for offices and facilities that support their goals and are increasingly willing to pay more for LEED certified space. A LEED-certified building leases for approximately 2% more per square foot.
Waste Management's own LEED accredited Business Development Manager, Karen Stiles explains:
"Property owners understand that LEED EBOM gives them a competitive edge. Existing buildings with LEED certification attract new tenants, capture 1-5% higher rates per square foot, and generally ensure a higher occupancy rate. Furthermore, implementing LEED EBOM practices often reduces operating costs."
The process for certifying existing buildings differs radically from the system for new construction. For new construction, the LEED checklist focuses on the construction, the mechanical systems, and the materials used in the building. For existing buildings, the attention is on building operations and maintenance, more than the construction itself. In both cases, the certification must be renewed every five years.
The LEED EBOM checklist is readily available from USGBC and covers six primary areas:
• Sustainable Sites – includes credits for the structure itself, the project site and access to public transportation;
• Water Efficiency – includes indoor and outdoor water conservation;
• Energy and Atmosphere – includes energy management assessments, energy metering, and use of renewable energy;
• Materials and Resources – includes a solid waste management and sustainable purchasing policies and implementation of waste management and sustainable purchasing measures for consumables, durable goods, and facilities;
• Indoor Environmental Quality – includes ventilation, thermal control, sustainable cleaning;
• Innovation in Operations – includes novel project planning and technologies.
A property can earn credits for over 33 different categories on the LEED EBOM 2009 checklist. Not all areas need to be addressed, but a property must earn more than 40 points to secure certification and over 80 points to earn platinum level status.
Among the more accessible credits are those related to the management of waste:
"Because waste is an activity over which tenants have significant control, it is often a LEED EBOM option that is tapped," explains Karen. "In addition, properties must meet a minimum set of requirements to secure certification. A solid waste management policy is one of these pre-requisites."
For commercial property owners, there are two primary challenges in managing the LEED process for existing buildings. The first has to do with navigating and planning for initial LEED rating. The second, and perhaps more complex, is the ongoing monitoring and metering of water efficiency, energy usage, and waste diversion that will enable a property to recertify and maintain its LEED status.
Waste Management offers significant support for both the initial and ongoing LEED process. Over 75% of Waste Management's Sustainability Services consultants and business development managers are LEED Accredited Professionals (LEED AP) or LEED Greeen Associates (LEED GA). They can be instrumental in stewarding the initial planning and certification process.

Report Abandoned Dwellings
1. If a building is vacant and open to trespass but not boarded, call Housing Inspections, Boarded Building Unit. They can begin the process to have it boarded if it is not already started. The owner of a building must be notified and given 16 days to secure the building themselves. After that, the city may board the house.
2. If the house has been boarded but now is open to trespass, call the Boarded Building Unit. They will secure the property.
3. Neighbors might "adopt" vacant and abandoned buildings in their area and report any suspicious or illegal activity by calling 9-1-1.
4. If the building is vacant and open to trespass and people are illegally occupying the building, call 9-1-1 and report this activity. If this is an ongoing problem, contact your area Crime Prevention Specialist.

This cabinet card is of a young child wearing the christening gown made from the wedding dress of Emily Rudman Tripp of Utica, New York. Tripp altered her gown into a christening dress for her first grandchild about 1870. The child in this picture is a great, great granddaughter. She sits on a fur robe draped over a wicker chair, and the cutwork embroidery of the gown is shown to full advantage.
