A poorly insulated building isn't just an energy hog. The loss of
conditioned air frequently makes it an uncomfortable place to
live and work, not to mention the extra expense of heating it in
the winter and cooling it in the summer.
There are a plethora of insulation choices on the market to fit any structure, space type, or climate, but which is best for your building? The answer lies in your building's layout.
The Basement and Other Below-Grade Spaces
Concrete floors don't typically offer many insulation opportunities unless the building owner is willing to pay for a costly floor elevation, says Gordon Hart, consulting engineer for Artek Engineering.
Walls, however, are a different story. Rigid foam boards, for example, can be added to the interior basement walls, as can fiberglass batts. However, both of these routes require you to install wood studs and then add drywall, and you may have to account for basement windows or other needs because the retrofit makes the wall thicker.
"Usually, it's better to insulate the basement walls because the basement has pipes in it and you don't want them to freeze," Hart explains. "If you're on a concrete floor, there's not a whole lot else you can do unless you want to elevate the floor and put in insulation boards, which is an expensive way to go."
Main Floors
Building: Pair of church facilities (one used daily, one for
worship services) sharing one oil-fired boiler; the building
experiencing daily use was chosen for the insulation retrofit.
Climate: Roughly the same number of heating and cooling days.
Solution: Polyisocyanurate (PIR) foam boards topped with
oriented strand board on the roof, fiberglass loose fill in the walls, and PIR boards on basement walls.
Result: Oil use reduced to about 4,700 gallons per year from a previous average of 6,000 gallons, representing savings of 21%; actual savings in the insulated building may be higher when oil use in the non-insulated building is accounted for.
The leadership of this central Massachusetts church opted to insulate the more frequently used of their two facilities. The building was insulated from top to bottom, including fiberglass in the walls topped with drywall, at left, and foam boards topped with oriented strand board on the roof, below. The results justified plans to retrofit insulation in the other church facility.
To make the right decision for your project, put your priorities in order, says Brock Osborn, business development manager for reStore, the restoration arm of cladding manufacturer Sto Corp.
"Many times there will be a space limitation on how much insulation can be added and what the desired R-value would be," Osborn explains. "Take into consideration terminations and junctures, such as how the insulation terminates into windows, doors, and fixtures."
Narrow down the selection further by considering cost, how the insulation is installed, and how much disruption to normal operations your facility can tolerate. Rigid insulation, such as boards made of expanded polystyrene (EPS), extruded polystyrene (XPS), or polyisocyanurate, require you to affix the insulation either to the wall or the exterior and add a surface over it.
Flexible materials like spray foam or mineral wool only require a hole in the wall so you can spray into the cavity or the walls of an empty room, such as an attic. Use extra care when spraying foam into a wall cavity – if you can't see what's happening, you run the risk of over-pressurizing the wall as the foam expands, potentially warping the wall.
"Mineral wool has some clear advantages in certain areas when it relates to fire, which is why it's commonly used in exterior rainscreen wall applications," Osborn says. "XPS and polyisocyanurate tend to have higher R-values, so that sometimes factors into the insulation selection process, but EPS is usually the lowest cost. It's not a magical formula – sometimes it just boils down to personal preference."

Minneapolis, Minn.
Minneapolis, the largest city in Minnesota and the seat of Hennepin County, is located in the southeast central part of the state on the Mississippi River. It is adjacent to its "twin city" of St. Paul.
In 1680, Father Louis Hennepin visited the future site of Minneapolis and gave the Falls of St. Anthony their name. Lt. Zebulon Pike made a treaty with the Sioux Indians in 1805–1806, by which they ceded to the whites much land, including the Falls of St. Anthony and the site of Minneapolis. Fort Snelling was built in 1819–1820, and in 1823 the government built a lumber and flour mill. Flour milling became the major industry of early Minneapolis and made the city the milling capital of the world. The town of St. Anthony was established on the east bank of the Mississippi in 1848, and the town of Minneapolis grew up on the opposite bank of the river. The name Minneapolis is a combination of the Dakota Sioux word "minna," for water, and the Greek word "polis," for city. Minneapolis was incorporated as a city in 1867, and in 1872 the city of St. Anthony (chartered in 1860) was annexed to it. After the spread of the railroads in the 1870s, Minneapolis became the gateway to the Northern Great Plains.
Minneapolis is a center of industry and commerce serving a large agricultural region. During the 20th century, manufacturing, food processing, milling, computers, health services, and graphic arts developed as Minneapolis's major industries. Fifteen Fortune 500 companies are headquartered in the Minneapolis–St. Paul metropolitan area. The city is the headquarters of the Ninth Federal Reserve Bank.
The Twin Cities are known for their wide array of cultural attractions, and Minneapolis is home to many fine museums, including the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, the Walker Center, and the Frederick R. Weisman Art Museum at the University of Minnesota's Minneapolis campus.
The Twin Cities, Minneapolis and St. Paul, hosted the 2008 Republican National Convention.

I agree, 1punch towards bellamy's face was PRICELESS ^^
1) When Ussop says "I'm already negative!" and Perona's face was priceless!
2) I loved that scene when Luffy stops Nami from stabbing herself and he doesn't leave no matter what she says! A true Nakama!
3) When Bonclay shows everyone Nami's body! That was hilarous!
One of my favorites is when Zoro fought Mihawk at Baratie. When Mihawk is about to deal the final blow Zoro turns around with his arms spread, Mihawk looks confused and Zoro says "Wounds on the back are a swordsman's shame." to which Mihawk simply replies "Magnificent". Every time I read those two lines I get shivers down my spine. It shows Mihawk's acceptance of Zoro and his belief in Zoro to one day surpass him as the greatest swordsman in the world. Awesome.

Johnny Depp finally confirmed last week that he and Vanessa Paradis are still together. Click here for a refresher. Most of you who've emailed don't seem entirely convinced that it was all fine to begin with. Something was afoot, sure. But they seem to have worked it out now...? Johnny, with all his various expressive necklaces and arty moods is probably a pain in the ass to live with.
Through it all though, whatever drama Johnny's throwing around at home as the third child in her life, through it all Vanessa has always had Karl; she remains loyal to him and he to her. Considering that it's a business, I'd say that's pretty personal.

Lee county wants ownership of old hospital
LEE COUNTY, Va. - Lee County Virginia wants to ownership of the Lee Regional Medical Center just two months after Wellmont closed the county's only hospital.
In September Wellmont Health Systems officials announced closing of the hospital citing reimbursement cuts.
On Wednesday we asked Wellmont Senior Vice President Todd Norris if they would donate the facility. "We certainly take their requests very seriously and we are in the process of considering that request along with some other inquires that we've had about the facility. Wellmont is just in the process of balancing those specific entries and inquires," says Norris.
Wellmont also gave us a statement saying it plans to review the request carefully and there is not a timetable for a decision at this time.

Emery County residents who are members of the Lions Club held a picnic in the Huntington City Park. Those present at the meeting welcomed District 28T Governor Jack Walters of Richfield. Walters is the overseer of the southern region of Utah for the Lions Club. His responsibility is everything south of Point of the Mountain.
Judy Lang, Huntington Lions Club president, said, "We are happy to welcome Lion Jack to Huntington. This meeting is to familiarize all of our members of an upcoming event that we are participating in. On Sept. 24, an Emergency Preparedness and Health Fair will be held at the Emery County Recreation Center in Castle Dale. The Lions Club will have a booth at the fair and we will provide eye examinations for children who cannot otherwise pay for an examination.
"The district has purchased a polaroid-like camera with which close up photos are taken of the children's eyes. The photos are sent to an eye doctor and he examines the eyes for irregularities. Many problems can be easily brought to the attention of parents with these early exams.
"The Lions Club pays for the film, and a member reads the photos for free, and these exams can be an early warning for children, at no cost to the families," said Lang.
The Lions Club is available to pay for examinations and glasses for children who cannot otherwise afford vision care. Dr. Barry Cook, of Price, is involved with the Lions Club. An ongoing project is the collection of eyeglasses. Used eyeglasses are collected and then sent to the Cedar City club. The experts there read the prescriptions and categorize the eyeglasses. At least once a year, Dr. Cook goes into third world countries and provides the eye examinations, then fits the people in those countries with eyeglasses from the donations.
Originally founded in 1917 as a mens organization, the Lions Club now welcomes women into their organization. The original members decided the group should take on service oriented projects. In 1925, Helen Keller attended the convention and challenged the club to become the "Knights of the Blind".
They accepted her challenge, and all members since that time have worked on sight-related issues.
In more recent times, the Lions Club has taken on more than just sight-related issues. Club members now work with anyone in a community who needs help, in whatever form that may be. Some critically ill people may need transportation for a doctor's visit and cannot afford to make the trip. Lions Club members will see that the transportation is provided, and overnight lodging if that it also needed. One other project taken on by the worldwide Lions Clubs has been providing housing for the tsunami victims.
Another project of the Lions Club is providing service dogs to people with disabilities. These leader dogs are trained and given to those who need either a seeing eye dog or a hearing dog to assist them in daily living.
The clubs hold many fund-raising projects each year to finance the needs of the community members. In Emery County, the club has a concession stand at Heritage Days in Huntington on July 4.
Other fund-raisers are a Halloween chili supper and a Valentine's Day dinner in honor of Misti Downard. Locally the group has assisted a young man in Ferron who had leukemia to get to Provo for treatments and doctor visits.
Also, another person from Cleveland has received help, as well as three club members.
Lang stated that any school age child in Emery County, who cannot afford to pay for eye exams or glasses is urged to come to the Lions Club for help.
Contact Lang at 687-5349 or Sally Walls at 687-9307.
Remember, the motto of the Lions Club is "We Serve", so if you or someone you know needs assistance, call a Lions Club member.

Posted on 12/06/2013 8:17:30 AM PST by sevinufnine
The realities are that, you know, as a black man, you know, Barack can get shot going to the gas station, you know. ― Michelle Obama
"(America is) just downright mean."
"This is who we are. I've got a loud mouth.
"You know, hes (Barack) got a healthy ego because anybody who decides theyre gonna be president of the United States has to think well of themselves."
"We've been nullified by the fear mongers, you know? It's almost as if people have voted against their best personal issue interests because they've been so afraid of what could happen. You know, the terrorists are gonna get us."
For the first time in my adult lifetime, I am really proud of my country. And not just because Barack has done well, but because I think people are hungry for change. And I have been desperate to see our country moving in that direction. - Michelle Obama
Hmmmmmmm :/
(Excerpt) Read more at boycottliberalism.com ...
The truth is, in order to get things like universal health care and a revamped education system, then someone is going to have to give up a piece of their pie so that someone else can have more. ― Michelle Obama
Its easier to hold onto your own stereotypes and misconceptions, it makes you feel justified in your own ignorance. Thats America. ― Michelle Obama
"Barack Obama will require you to work. He is going to demand that you shed your cynicism. That you put down your divisions. That you come out of your isolation, that you move out of your comfort zones. That you push yourselves to be better. And that you engage. Barack will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual, uninvolved, uninformed."
No, I don't know, Mrs. Obama.
Please explain using logic and rational thought.
PS - For selfish reasons, I WON'T hold my breath while I wait.
You know.
Asked how she feels about Bill Clintons use of the phrase fairytale to describe her husbands characterization of his position on the Iraq war, (Michelle Obama) first responded: No.
After a few seconds of contemplation, and gesturing with her fingernails, she told the reporter: I want to rip his eyes out!
Noticing an aide giving her a nervous look, she added: Kidding! See, this is what gets me into trouble. WorldNetDaily
"All this for a damn flag?"
Fixed tag line, you know.
We're going to have to move into a different place as a nation to provide the kind of future we all want desperately for our children.
Michelle Obama
May 14, 2008
Speech in San Juan Puerto Rico
What she was describing was Obama's work to create for the world his Marxist Worker's Paradise.
yeah, I saw that one but out of respect for our flag and the 9/11 victims I didn't want to post the entire thing. Shameful of her, just damn shameful.
A quote from her college thesis:
"My experiences at Princeton have made me far more aware of my 'blackness' than ever before," the future Mrs. Obama wrote in her thesis introduction. "I have found that at Princeton, no matter how liberal and open-minded some of my white professors and classmates try to be toward me, I sometimes feel like a visitor on campus; as if I really don't belong. Regardless of the circumstances underwhich I interact with whites at Princeton, it often seems as if, to them, I will always be black first and a student second."
Sometimes ya don't need no quotes.
LOL. that kid is right on the money. love it.
Mooch, Mother Mooch, Brother Mooch, the mini-Mooches, and some assorted cousin Mooches.
Taxpayers paid millions so the whole cartel could see a lion in the wild.
Please explain using logic and rational thought. *
Not possible for her, she's a Democrat.
LOL...I'm sure what she's holding certainly doesn't remind her of Barack...but she sure is smiling ain't she ;>)
Maybe she sent it to Kanye for the next music vid with Kim...
Me thinks she kept it for herself!
I love it when they go on Safari too. There's an outside chance of Moochie and Barry getting eaten by a lion.
I know, what a quote. In her college "thesis" she made the bold statement that even those white students and professors who tried to keep an open mind about race relations were "still racist" even though they may not have realized it. Holy CRAP! Talk about clinging to a stereotype
"All this for a damn FAG".
The race card has provided a really good living for a good number of race hustlers. The Obama family has to be near the top of the list.
LOL, that is precious!
Introspection of FNOTUS, every thing is about race and her fat black ass.
I've read he thesis. It's incredible that it was accepted, given its poor spelling and grammar. She's right, she didn't belong there. The rest of the student body, and the faculty, were head and shoulders above her in the brains department. The college should be ashamed of itself for granting her a degree. I doubt she could have graduated from a self-respecting community college.
"Barack's home country of Kenya"
"For the first time in my adult life, I am proud of my country"
"Let's Move"

Lance Armstrong Files Restraining Order to get the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency to Ease Up Off His Jock
Cyclist and rubber bracelet artisan Lance Armstrong filed a federal lawsuit and requested a restraining order against the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) on Monday, to prevent its punishing him for doping violations that could cost him his seven Tour de France titles.
The Washington Post reports that Armstrong accuses the agency of severe jock-riding, claiming the organization and its CEO Travis Tygart "have engaged in an obsessive, unlawful, and meritless campaign" against him, stemming from a personal vendetta against him perpetuated Tygart.
If stripped of his titles, Armstrong would have his official profession downgraded to "Sheryl Crow's Ex-Boyfriend Who Loved Bikes." He also faces a lifetime ban from Olympic sports and the forfeiture of the prize money that accompanied his Tour de France wins.
USADA announced in June it would charge Armstrong with a doping violation for his role in a steroid distribution conspiracy that rocked a world in which grown men ride bicycles for fun and profit. The agency said it had testimony from at least 10 witnesses with "firsthand" knowledge of the doping violations.
Armstrong's lawyers complain that Armstrong has been unable to obtain the witnesses' identities and learn about the specific charges each makes. USADA argues that it must maintain the witnesses' anonymity to prevent "intimidation and retaliation" from such a roid-ragey-sumbitch.
It was reported last week that four of Armstrong's former cycling teammates may have received reduced suspensions in exchange for testifying against him.
Armstrong has never tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs.
If Armstrong's requests to halt the agency's court proceedings are denied, his case will likely be heard by an independent three-person arbitration panel (which, Armstrong claims, has been "populated with arbitrators who predictably find in the USADA's favor") on Saturday.
If the panel finds him guilty, Armstrong could appeal the decision, at which point the case would be heard by the Court of Arbitration for Sport, which the New York Times identifies as "sport's highest authority."
Technically, God is sport's highest authority, however, as God is known to be in the back pocket of the Court of Arbitration for Sport, whatever they ruled would be final.

Great Cross Training Shoes
"I just joined a bootcamp type workout group. I was wearing my running shoes but the toes didn't have enough grip on the toe for pushups and burpees etc. I bought these and they are perfect. They have a great grip but they are also light weight. They look a little more pink than they do in the picture. The mesh on the front of the foot is a bright pink that is covered with a black mesh. They are cool looking. I have had a lot of complements on them."

This week's column devoted to The Secret World takes a look at how news outlets sometimes opt to frame Funcom's game in a negative light despite the fact that, indeed, TSW seems to have already turned the corner. See what we've got to say and then leave your thoughts in the comments.
Like it or not, the way things are reported or framed creates a certain viewpoint that allows people to associate positively or negatively to a given article. A byproduct of being human is that we tend to create these viewpoints or write in a way that creates these associations without meaning to. We also tend to have something called confirmation bias, in which we favor information presented to us that confirms our existing beliefs or hypotheses.
Read more of Victor Barreiro Jr.'s The Secret World: Doing Right By Gamers.
If Funcom made brilliant games we would not have to discuss things like this, yes?
I'm not trying to sound smart, but it is what it is when you look closely.
I think they deserve kudos in getting back on track in delivering Issue 3. Issue 4 sounds great and hopefully they can keep up the content to justify the subscription. Because the content up till now, has been top-notch.
There are very good points and merits to those outside interviews you linked to your post.
However - I would HARDLY say that you've been part of the "problem". If anything you've been very despairingly loud and unambiguous about how you are every bit as perplexed as the high execs as to why this game did not perform and why it "deserved better" - to paraphrase you.
In fact in SPITE of this website most tenacious efforts that game has unfortunately tanked in the wild and editorial typescontinue to be as blindsided to it now as they were when the turn of events became clear. It is obvious that much remains to be learned. There are obvious reasons for TSW mediocrity which continue to be ignored or gloseed over. Those interviews and your own blog demonstrate that.
Stay away from the whole topic of TSW, from MMO's in general for a whole week. Don't even read news about it. Nothing. Then go back and log into the game and see how it feels. I think you'll be closer to your answer then.

It's a good solid game, with a very loyal playerbase.
Just because most of the reporters didn't really bother investigating the game more, didn't understand it (typical WoW syndrome) and bashed it to no end.
The user critics are an atonement to that. Gamers actually played it, liked it and gave it a good score!
I tried GW2 and got bored within 2 weeks, while I am still having a blast with TSW after 3 months.
The RP dimension I am on is very active with good population and being in a nice Cabal helps too.
So people can doom and gloom and say the game is dead. Well I don't see that every night I log in and play.

Talking about briliance ... Funcom is among the few innovating companies in the mmorpg world, both in technology and features. They also don't seem to be afaid to gamble with unfamiliar to mmorpg veteran features.
Their problem is usually the execution and polish.
Them stopping doing mmorpgs just mean one less innovator on the market and the bigger domination of copycats and feature recyclers.
WEll compared to other games TSW is actually pushing out updates like they said they would. The digging deeper update was off by 2 weeks but that was do to an expliot they found and fixed.
Anybody knows my track record with Funcom knows I used the word failcom a lot with them over AOC, however TSW is so much better than AOC.
At least TSW is trying to do right by the player base. We need more stuff in game. Just having 3 zones so far you tend to repeat a lot of stuff over while grinding out the wheel. I yet to run any dungions or lairs but eventually I hope to do that.
It is a nice game, I play it when I am not wanting to play eq2.
Yep, the game is a lot better than most people think. Funcom's problem is that they are too tight with this game time. A free trial of more than a few days is mandatory. There really are very few games that offer the different feel of TSW.
It is not a perfect game, but if you want something a bit different you should give it a try.

Juding from your avatar, I'm guessing you are one of those loyal players. If so, how is what you said different from what any loyal player will say about the game they play?
It still has the highest sub fee of any MMO and a cash shop at the same time.
I enjoyed my month with the game but that's it, I would play it again if it were below normal sub price or free to play.
A good, solid MMO is not enough today to survive on the market, especially if your producer has impossible profit expectations.
The major fault of the game is the lack of cotent and many generic features like the bland pvp. Pure theme park MMOs have no future, they have no ability to to produce content faster then players get through it.
I make spreadsheets at work - I don't want to make them for the games I play.

What lack of content? Most people screaming this either haven't played the game or missed half the hidden missions throughout the zones! /facepalm
A couple weeks back I rerolled and started fresh with a new char and when I was back in Kingsmouth I ended up discovering tons of new missions I had overlooked the first time. And I still haven't found and done all the available missions in that zone.
I think people in general are more likely to focus on negative information, especially in regards to MMORPG. I wouldn't have known that the game is now profitable and that the game's population is now growing if not for this article. They've managed to do this without doing a F2P conversion and they've kept up their updates.
Everyone is so focused on how the game didn't get the launch it wanted, they don't seem to want to believe that it's possible for a game to turn things around.
I can not remember winning or losing a single debate on the internet.
I laugh, alot, about the bit in there about "unintended bias" and "framing things negatively" in regards to FC, from anyone at this site.
Here, at MMORPG.com there is the exact opposite bias: "everything is framed positively" and games are typically reviewed with an eye on giving the highest possible score and overlooking the sometimes glaring weaknesses/faults a game might have.
Call that: the intended bias. "MMORPG.com: where there is never a bad review of a "AAA" mmo."
And go look at the review page for the list of "major" mmos at this site, you will see that the "official score", with one exception, is ALWAYS higher than the player scores. And not by a little, most are in the .6-.7 higher range. Except one, once (and that was close).
So, I see it as a big "pot meet kettle" moment when any writer here talks about rating or review bias in the smallest degree.
It's not a good way of judging, true, but being too sceptical and negative or being too fanboish is simply what happens all the time. If people had bad experiences with a game or the company behind it, they'll take that experience with them in their view of that company's future endeavours. Same for when a game or company did good by someone. History is never completely forgotten, only time will blunt the edges.
In a way, the check for the extra credit of goodwill that Funcom got before AoC's launch, they have been paying in later years.
What I also can never understand, is why MMO companies don't toy around with the sub fees: P2P or P2P hybrid if you must, but why not do it for a lower fee, like 11 euro or 10 pounds or 12 dollars a month? Or even make it so that a part of the fee can be gained back with ingame activities and achievements?

@Burntvet; that's right. But your statement only applies when the title belongs to a high profile/deep pockets publisher or a personal "pet" game. Their personal pet game does not need to be from a deep pockets publisher, so their bias can go either way, up or down. In the case of game's with wealthy publishers (one exception: Activision Blizzard) who are generous with perks or fees this site is unambiguously positive. Only with those titles coming from smaller publishers without the resources do they demonstrate free reign in assigning unfavorable ratings or soundbites unless they're an editors pet game. I was reading an interview with one of the TSW producers I think it was Eurogamer. He mentioned how TSW was critiqued without gloves, but in the case of GW2 which launched with a broken AH which lasted weeks that that gaffe somehow never weighted the scores it was given.
There are plenty of other games, some smaller, many F2P asian grinders and such, that do not get "the treatment".
But the list and scores are there to see the truth of what I was saying: "major" MMOs, i.e. the ones that get hyped up with the columns and features and "first looks" and exclusive videos and all that stuff, score significantly higher than the player reviews for the same game, in all but a single case.
It is pure and observable "positivity bias", only in the the opposite direction from the one cited by the author in this piece.
But it cuts both ways: "over-emphasizing the positive" and "minimizing the negative" is just as bad or worse, than "assuming a negative stance" on a product, because if someone reads an "overly" negative piece, the worst that happens is they don't buy the game and it does not cost them anything.
With reviews and columns and all the rest that "over-emphasize the positive" (which MMORPG.com is known for), the end result is the reader ends up buying a bad/mediocre game and that DOES cost the reader money.
Apparently, the folks here don't see it that way.
Personally, I prefer those reviews where the reviewer is able to surpass his/her own biases, either negative or positive (a hardcore sandbox fan giving an honest, praising review of a themepark MMO, now that'd be a nice touch), and give an honest, fairly objective summing up of both pros and cons of an MMO, great qualities as well as weaknesses.

people throwing that around are just the fanboys being bitter mad that the game isn't flourishing
with that said though, it is a shame the game isn't doing better. it's not a very polished game, but it's definitely refreshing to play. also the only MMO i've played that manages to tell a decent story as you play through it (didn't need 300 million dollars to tell that story either)

Lehigh and Montgomery county authorities arrest 15 in synthetic drug bust
NORRISTOWN, Pa. - Police are calling it "operation bowls, bongs and beyond." They say they've busted up a big synthetic drug ring.
Fifteen people have been arrested. Investigators say the whole thing was centered in Allentown.
In a year-long investigation, Montgomery and Lehigh County law enforcement officials worked together to bust the drug ring that, they say, used gas stations and convenience stores to sell synthetic drugs.
"This is a huge profitable business and people are in it for the money," said Montgomery County D.A. Risa Vetri Ferman.
Montgomery and Lehigh County investigators say Kenneth Grossman was the front man in a 15-person bi-county and multi-state synthetic drug ring, which included selling bath salts and synthetic marijuana.
"One reason so troubling is these items are packaged in a way to appeal to young people," Ferman went on to say.
Police say Grossman used his Allentown distribution center to house hoards of drug paraphernalia which included bongs and hollowed out cans, which were then shipped to local gas stations and convenience stores.
All this happening police say near a drug-free school zone. According to investigators, Grossman also owned a subsidiary company in Delaware.
That's where police say the illegal narcotics including bath salts were shipped. The same kind of drugs Lehigh County D.A Jim Martin said led to a man being murdered last year.
"Hopefully they will get the message and understand we will prosecute and investigate vigorously, profits will be seized by law enforcement purposes if they continue to sell and distribute items," Martin said.
Investigators say two tractor trailer full of items at the Allentown location were seized, as well as close to a million dollars in cash.
At Grossman's Allentown home police say they plucked over 500 synthetic marijuana packets.
Grossman and his son were just two of the 15 taken into custody Thursday.
In August of 2011 Pennsylvania passed the law making synthetic drugs illegal.
Investigators say Grossman started his Delaware business later that fall. He's due back in court September 13.

This is a story that will be just dry as I will not try to say some made up stories how it changed the world for some friends of mine and in fact while writing about that I had dinner on my mind. So no story about phony friends will be told here. This story will be dry but true. As Hemingway said no story is good story unless it is true. The truth about muscle supplement and its good and bad sides will be expressed here as much as I know and I like to think I know a lot about muscle supplement. And that is because I am one of the analysts and researchers in a very prestigious lab which will not be named with the excuse of privacy.
I will anyhow assure you of the lab explaining some inventions of this lab. There are a lot of protein concentrates we made for sub Saharan countries where food is scarce and we need to feed as many as we could. There are a lot of NGOs working with our concentrated food in those areas where food is scarce and we kept up to the mark in our quality of concentrates. They are very happy with our product and they keep on coming. But this was just a CSR gimmick and we want to keep on the good. So for that reason we went on to make some commercial items and raise money to keep on the good work of feeding the third world population and keep them away from hunger circle and give them what their body needs. There are a lot other projects which are underway and needs funding. So muscle supplement is one of our attempts to commercialize the lab and raising funds for those projects.
Muscle supplement is something that helps you gain muscles. You probably are tired now of hearing this and you need some changes. First let's focus on what is muscle. Is it changeable or can it be tweaked? Well answer is no. so what are we selling in the names of muscle supplement? Well muscle supplement is the balanced proper need in terms of food which is needed for growth and stability of tissues. In plain words it is just what you need to keep the body fit and in perfect shape. This is why people use a the B-Site.To save money. So we are selling nothing but a supplement that will help you get the portions of the food which you missed. I mean if you took lesser potassium that day with your meal then you are going to get it by taking the supplement. So muscle supplement is nothing just a help to keep you on track of building muscle.

I decided to look at the frequency distribution of values you get by using analogRead() on a floating (unconnected) analog pin.
But what if you build your seed from the LSBs of 32 consecutive reads?
Feed the data through this...http://www.fourmilab.ch/random/
Results99.5% of the 1 million values were distributed between just 38 values out of 1024 possible values. Hmmm.... does not seem to be a wide "seed" range by any means Comments / Thoughts welcome.
I did extensive research on this and essentially debunked this claim made by Arduino.
I did a Chi-squared test on about 7k data points and it passed with flying color using the revised myanalogRead() provided in that thread. The distribution is also quite uniform.
Depending on what the analog pin receives the result will be more or less random.
Thus, the lsb approach. It actually doesn't rely on the randomness of a signal on the adc pin, but the randomness of the last digit returned by the adc process. You can tie the pin to a known voltage (Vcc or ground), yet the adc's lsb is unstable.

I love the braided leather as it goes well with casual or even semi-dressy styles of clothing. Also, was glad that I could get the contempo ID plate so I had "4" lines for info instead of three. I do have a problem trying to get it on "myself", though and require the assistance of my husband. Speedy shipping was a plus! (Posted on 12/13/16)

My daughter absolutely loves the braided style. Her friends love it too, with one wanting to know how he can get it! Teens! It was difficult to put on, taking two of us. (Posted on 9/9/13)
- Happy so far Review by Judith
I have owned this bracelet for about two weeks now, and am very happy with the product so far. The bracelet shipped to me is exactly as shown and described on the website. I have worn it outdoors and gotten the bracelet wet with no adverse reactions. As long as one clasp is already connected to the ID tag, I can just push the other clasp onto the other side of the ID fairly easily (i.e.- I can put the bracelet on by myself without a problem). This bracelet is more comfortable against my skin than the metal one I also purchased, but seems to be just as durable. (Posted on 9/3/13)

This good looking bracelet, suits my casual style and looks nice with other bracelets I usually wear. I have the black rubber band and a chain band as well, but I haven't worn either since receiving the braided leather band. (Posted on 4/6/12)
- I think the bracelet is really nice. Review by Annette
I really like how it looks and have gotten a lot of nice comments on it. It's not your typical medical ID bracelet. I like how the engraving looks also. Thanks. (Posted on 3/27/12)
- Great! Review by katie
Customer service was great. I ordered the wrong size and was able to exchange it for the proper size. The whole transaction took about a week. The actual product is just as was described online. (Posted on 11/14/11)
- Excellent Item Review by Ty Harper
I wanted a masculine appearing medical alert braclet in case an emergency arose. This is rugged enough looking to fill the bill. Nice product. (Posted on 10/18/11)
- Great looking bracelet Review by Kenneth Roine
This is a nice looking bracelet, you need three hands to operate the clasp. (Posted on 5/16/11)

Dogan Goon of Portland was a private in the Medical Department of the U.S. Army in World War I. He enlisted June 24, 1918 and received an honorable discharge January 13, 1919.
Even though Chinese immigrants were not allowed to become U.S. citizens because of the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act, they served in the armed forces.
Goon came to Portland about 1914, possibly as an illegal immigrant, then got permission to stay in the U.S. He became a citizen shortly after his discharge. He and his wife operated a laundry on Forest Avenue at Woodford's Corner.
Raymond W. Stanley, 1918Item 10769 info
Stanley Museum
Raymond W. Stanley (1894-1985) enlisted in the U.S. Naval Reserve on May 9, 1917, taking advantage of Harvard College's policy of allowing seniors to enlist in active duty prior to fulfilling graduation requirements.
He was assigned to the Naval Reserve's First Naval District at Bath on May 17, 1917, and was eventually assigned to his own motor launch, the U.S.S. Empress, which he had offered to the Navy for use during WWI as a sectional patrol craft, leased at $1 per month.
He served a tour of duty in Boothbay Harbor, patrolling the coastline, ferrying naval personnel from ship to shore, and investigating alleged sightings of enemy activity.
As the only son of F.E. Stanley of Kingfield, a wealthy auto manufacturer, and in possession of his own boat, Raymond Stanley was in the privileged position of being able to serve his country in a non-combat, state-side role.
Not wanting to be seen as "slacking" active duty, however, Stanley took the earliest opportunity to enlist in the new Naval Aviation Corps to train as a combat pilot for European service, and is shown here in his Naval Aviator's uniform, circa May 1918. He was soon after discharged from the Naval Aviation Corps on May 28, 1918, after his pre-flight medical examination found that he was color blind.
Unable to fly, Raymond Stanley re-enlisted June 5, 1918, in the U.S. Army Signal Corps, using his draftsman's skills to illustrate WWI aviation flight manuals for other pilots. He was discharged from the Army Signal Corps with the rank of corporal on January 21, 1919, at the end of the war.

Raymond Stanley enlisted in the U.S. Naval Reserve before graduating from Harvard in 1917, and served as Quartermaster 1st Class. He was assigned to the USS Empress (a motor launch owned by his father, F.E. Stanley, and leased to the navy during WW1) and other patrol vessels in Boothbay Harbor.

Anti-Piracy "Mafia" in Finland Raid House, Confiscate Winnie the Pooh Laptop
Jason Mick
November 23, 2012 9:16 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
(Source: South Park Studios)
The piracy police made one 9-year-old a very unhappy camper
Word to the kids: don't pirate files or your folks may have their houses raided and your toys seized.
A 9-year-old Finnish girl,
according to
, happened to be very into a particular local pop star named Chisu. So innocently, the 9-year-old went onto Google Inc. (GOOG) ubiquitous search engine. Lo-and-behold, the first result to pop up was
The Pirate Bay
, the world's biggest torrent and magnet-link site, which also happens to have been
launched in neighboring Sweden
The girl tried to install a program to read the torrent files she downloaded, but the downloads all mysteriously failed. Upset, she complained to her father, who took her to the store to purchase the Chisu album -- legally.
But it turns out that the downloads didn't fail. Instead they were malicious trackers, which flagged her home internet protocol (IP) address as an infringer. Working with her ISP, the local
Copyright Information AND Anti-Piracy Centre
(a sister organization to the
Recording Industry Association of America
) sent her father a suspicious letter, demanding a payment of 600€ and to sign a legally binding letter promising not to tell anyone about the payment or the threat.
[Chisu on YouTube]
Her father, confused, did not respond.
That's when local police raided the house in order to "assist" in the investigation. The father in the case recalls thinking that he'd wound up on the bad side of Mafioso or something, commenting, "I got the feeling that there had been people from the Mafia demanding money at the door. We have not done anything wrong with my daughter. If adults do not always know how to use a computer and the web, how can you assume that children or the elderly – or a 9-year-old girl – knows what they are doing at any given time online? This is the pinnacle of absurdity. I can see artists are in a position, but this requires education and information, not resource-consuming lawsuits."
The little pirate paid dearly for her "crime against humanity"; the armed police raiding her house seized her Winnie the Pooh laptop as "evidence" to be used in the case against her father.
There is a silver lining: Chisu, whose music the nine-year-old so-loved that she put her father in legal jeopardy, reached out to the family after hearing the story. She points them to her Spotify, where people can listen to her music for free, commenting, "I hope that the matter will be resolved soon and sorry to my 9-year-old girls."
Finnish police seized a certain little pirate's Winnie the Pooh laptop.
[Image Source: IBTimes]
Joonas Mäkinen of Finland's Pirate Party was outraged at the story. He praises Chisu's response, but complains the big media industry is holding artists hotage, leaving them with few real options to help abused fans. He comments:
It is sad to see how even the big artists have no idea what CIAPC / TTVK is doing in their name. And the worst part is that even after learning about this, like Chisu did just now and took part in the discussion on Facebook, they can't stop it since all copyright protection and monitoring is centralized.
I hope all musicians realize that the fan hunt that involves confiscating laptops and signing deals that require you to be silent about the payments are severely hurting the image of copyright and creators. Authors of works should actively rise up to say NO to what CIAPC/TTVK is doing if they wish to keep their fans.
The Pirate Party has
gained its first seats
in the European Union's Parliament, following public outrage at the Orwellian anti-piracy tactics that have been sweeping the continent.
The CIAPC confirmed, according to
, that the girl was among the pirates targeted by its anti-piracy sting operations.

The full weekend.
Managed not to fall asleep on the table with my face in sushi, although did scare the people around by consuming all plates before the rest of our party had a chance to pick chopsticks. Took/drove all to their homes, back at Monika's, watched movie "Elizabeth" with Stan and her, Google'd more history, turned to bed at 11pm.
6am wake up call for a ski trip - the 3 adults in the house (the kids didn't even move) set in the kitchen and looked at each other for 30 min...nah, back to bed.
8am wake up call - get Monika to her Pilates instruction classes, feed the boys, and with Stan, Stephen and Max make a trip to OMSI. Dino's! Awesome!
Back home (mine) to grab swimming things - took boys to the pool (at Community center we have a great one with slides and fountains). They spent there 2.5hrs. I tried to swim - I am really indifferent to water (in other words, I hate swimming) - went to the gym and did weights/stairmaster. Then set in the hot tub.
Back to the house (where we had people for a show) - snuck in and took dry clothes, fed kids at the Market, back at Monika's, played around, then we all went out for dinner. I didn't fall asleep yet again:)
This week is incredibly busy. Have to pack my stuff for the race in AZ, pack my stuff for the move to new house in a week, have to deal with bankers/loaners/insurances/blah...closing on my condo tomorrow. Oh, yeah, work got to fit somewhere there too! Stephen has a boxing tournament this weekend as well - lotsa practice to take him to. I ran 8M and felt good, but this morning had an ache enough to bag it after 30 min.
I bid goodbye. If you're local - enjoy this crazy weather spell. If not - be jealous:)

Although it's exciting to move to a new place, I hate the dealings with bankers and stuff. Good news is it'll be over in a few days. A new condo is cool!ReplyDelete
Have fun in AZ and run well.

At first I thought, Damn, you fit a lot into one day. Then, when you mentioned Old Pueblo, I thought, Damn, it's almost March already! Time (for all of us) to get hopping!ReplyDelete
Have a great race at OP 50! Congrats on number 50 at Hagg Lake as well. Looks like it was a lot of fun, but I don't think I am man enough to wear a skirt.ReplyDelete
You should have tried some pool running! I'm not a water person at all, but I'm enjoying the occasional pool run and will try to keep it up.ReplyDelete
Good luck at OP 50 this weekend! : )
It's nice here too -- it was 40 degrees this morning!ReplyDelete
Just reading about your weekend made me tired.
Wow, your time is even crazier than mine. So hectic. I let the bills and bank staements pile up until critical-mass, then i sit down and it takes me an hour to go through the pile. I hate paperwork! I'd rather be running. Late from work, birthday parties, parent-teacher conferences, chores, meals, when am I supposed to run? I run a lot, but then other things don't get done. Sleep, meals, catching the news,...ReplyDelete
You manage much better than me.
Have fun in Arizona.
Good luck at OP!! I hope you don't freeze there. I remember how cold the start can be. I can't wait to read your race report. Have fun.ReplyDelete
Olga, best of luck at Old Pueblo! Do not forget to pack your iPod this time. Looking forward to reading your race recap!ReplyDelete
Good luck at OP! Bring more sunshine back to the PNW!ReplyDelete
Yes good Luck at Old Pueblo. Run like hell. Enjoy that beautiful desert.ReplyDelete
Yo, crazy russian......have fun at OP. Reading your blog makes me tired. nap time.......BillyReplyDelete
Good luck with all the great forward motion! I know it's hard to do it all and work too. Also, isn't it weird how some music motivates others and puts others to sleep? >:) I guess variety IS the spice of life.ReplyDelete
I am jealous! Enjoy your nice weather, heck, it will be even nicer in AZ. It's not so nice in MN. Boohoo.ReplyDelete
Nice run of negative splits at Hagg and I hope OP 50 went as well. Please stop in Longview on the way back from Chuckanut. It would be great to see you and we will appreciate the support.ReplyDelete
I don't know how you keep it up Olga. I admire you, and others, with kids who are able to balance everything. Congratulations on closing on your condo! That must be a huge relief. Again, can I say, can't believe you fit running into all that.ReplyDelete

We still love Notre Dame
The Birmingham News calls it a "Title Wave." The South Bend Tribune referred to it as a "heartbreak."
Losing to the Crimson Tide after finishing the regular season undefeated is not a disgrace.
Notre Dame did not play anywhere near the type of game they did the previous 12 games. They are back among the elite in their sport, and that's good news for college football. Still, the crushing defeat is tough to take.
This Sunday when I usher at St. Anthony's Catholic Church on
Every Sunday morning during football season when I arrive at her pew carrying the collection basket, we make faces at one another. If the Irish won the day before, it's grins and thumbs up. If our boys lost, we shake our heads, grimace, frown.
It's been a tough go for too many years for the Fighting Irish, but this delightful woman is always cheerful and optimistic. During one particularly rough stretch a few years ago she told me that we can hold our heads high because Notre Dame is still Notre Dame.
I sure hope she's at Mass this Sunday. I'd love to see one of those "It's ok, everything's alright" smiles.
During the 125th year of Notre Dame Football, we have rallied around an exceptional team that has made us all proud. This memorable season has united the Notre Dame family, from Dublin to South Bend to South Beach. As never before, the Fighting Irish exemplified Notre Dame's commitment to integrity and success on the field and in the classroom.
It's only 235 days until we kick off the next season…

I am interested in having a toilet in my basement, but am not sure how it would be done. I have city water and the pipes appear to be located in the concrete floor of my basement. Should I break the concrete to tap into the line, or could I use an upward flushing toilet and access the pipes I can see? Do I need a vent? How would all of this be accomplished? Thanks for the help, Joe
