Indoor Air Quality and Your Health
Over the past several years, we have all heard about illnesses and structural problems within homes as a result of exposure to toxic mold and fungal microorganisms. Likewise, there seems to be an increase of allergy symptoms and hypersensitivity, particularly in young children, as a result of mold. Mold can affect anyone (whether allergic or not). And, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), "Mold can be found almost anywhere." Learning more about mold and its causes in indoor settings is the first step in knowing how to maintain a quality home environment and avoid the adverse health effects that mold is known to bring.
Building Related Illness (BRI) and Sick Building Syndrome (SBS) are terms used when health symptoms are experienced while in a particular building (including the home), with relief from these symptoms only occurring after leaving the site. Causes of BRI and SBS are often related to poor Indoor Air Quality (IAQ). Poor IAQ can be caused by many different factors such as:
- Inadequate or contaminated ventilation systems
- Humidity or moisture problems
- Exposure to indoor molds and bacteria
- High particle (house dust) levels
- High allergen levels (dust mites or cockroaches, pollen, mold, animal dander)
- Chemical exposure to building materials or cleaning agents
- Pesticide use
- Environmental tobacco smoke
- Exposure to the byproducts of combustion (carbon monoxide)
Americans generally spend more than 90% of their day indoors. Thus, exposure to indoor pollutants can have a considerable health impact on individual sufferers, as well as on schools and businesses. In fact, indoor levels of pollutants may be 2-5 times ‒ and occasionally more than 100 times ‒ higher than outdoor levels, according to EPA studies of human exposure to air pollutants. IAQ problems may eventually lead to increased medical expenses due to health problems (direct costs), and lost productivity due to discomfort or absenteeism (indirect costs).
Mold and Its Dangerous Effect on Indoor Air Quality
Mold (also called mildew) is an organic substance from the Fungi kingdom that comes in a variety of species and colors, and is often recognized by its musty smell. Mold has been implicated as a major cause of Building Related Illness (BRI) and Sick Building Syndrome (SBS). Studies have shown that exposure to indoor mold can induce respiratory illness in adults, and can cause early onset asthma or respiratory allergies in children.
"Molds produce allergens (substances that can cause allergic reactions), irritants, and in some cases, potentially toxic substances (mycotoxins). Inhaling or touching mold or mold spores may cause allergic reactions... They [allergic reactions] can be immediate or delayed. Molds can also cause asthma attacks in people with asthma who are allergic to mold. In addition, mold exposure can irritate the eyes, skin, nose, throat, and lungs of both mold-allergic and non-allergic people."
From the EPA - A Brief Guide to Mold, Moisture, and Your Home. For a downloadable version, please click here.
A 1999 Mayo Clinic Study found that 96% of chronic sinus infections were caused by molds. Molds have also been implicated in other non-allergy related illnesses.
"Some symptoms and maladies have been attributed to the toxic effects of fungi [mold] in indoor environments. Certain fungi can produce toxins (mycotoxins) at varying levels... The reported symptoms from exposure to mycotoxins indoors include headaches, irritation, and nausea/loss of appetite, but are often non-specific (e.g. fatigue, inability to concentrate/remember)."

Types of Mold You Should Know About
There are a number of different molds that can be found in the home. Some of these molds favor outdoor environments for growth but readily enter the home in microscopic spore form by circulating through doorways, windows, and systems like heating and air conditioning units. Mold can grow on almost any substance as long as it has a carbon-based food source, moisture, oxygen, and the temperature is between 40 and 100°F. When mold spores land on a spot meeting all these conditions, it sets the stage for mold growth.
According to the Centers for Disease and Control (CDC), "The most common indoor molds are Cladosporium, Penicillium, Aspergillus, and Alternaria," and so we've focused on these here. Additionally, while the CDC indicates it does not have enough information to determine the degree to which Stachybotrys might be present in homes or buildings, we've added it here because of its ability to cause serious health effects. By the way, the CDC advises that regardless of what type of mold you may find or have that, "All molds should be treated the same with respect to potential health risks and removal."
We've listed these molds at the genus level, but there are sometimes many different species – some more toxigenic (i.e., capable of producing toxins) than others. For example, Aspergillus has well over 100 species including flavus, ochraceus, and parasiticus.
|A large spore mold that can deposit in the nose, mouth and upper respiratory tract causing an allergic response. Indoors, it is often found in carpets, textiles, house dust, and potentially damp areas like window frames and showers. It can also be found in plant soil.
|Usually found in warmer climates in areas of water damage or extreme dampness. Aspergillus species are also commonly found in house dust. Many species produce mycotoxins, which may be associated with disease in humans and some animals. Also found in building materials, and in fall leaves and other decomposing matter like compost piles.
|The most commonly identified outdoor fungus, but it can easily enter into the house through the HVAC and other airflow entryways. Cladosporium also has an indoor species that grows on textiles, wood and other porous, damp areas. Both indoor and outdoor species are triggers for hay fever and asthma symptoms.
|A very common mold known to cause allergies, hay fever and asthma. Species may be found growing on wallpaper, wallpaper glue and decaying fabrics in water-damaged buildings or homes. It is also found in carpet and in interior fiberglass duct insulation. Some species can produce mycotoxins.
|Pronounced (stack-ee-BOT-ris), this is an especially toxic black or dark greenish-black mold that produces airborne toxins (mycotoxins) that can cause serious breathing difficulties, memory and hearing loss, dizziness, flu-like symptoms, and bleeding in the lungs. Stachybotrys requires excessive moisture to thrive (usually running water) and is a slimy black mold. Fortunately, Stachybotrys is not found in homes as often as the other molds listed above.

How Do I Know If I Have A Mold Problem?
If you think your home or office might have a mold problem it's time to do a little detective work. First, consider your symptoms or those of your loved ones. When you leave the suspected area do the symptoms dissipate? Do you smell anything different when you enter the area (a musty smell for example)? Are there any visible signs of mold growth (even a little), such as like shown in the pictures? Carpet, dry wall, wood, attic space and insulation, and even bare earth in a crawl space should be checked. Do you or have you ever had a water leak in any part of your home? The source could be rain, plumbing, an appliance or condensation.
If you don't see any visible signs of mold in the house, don't breathe a sigh of relief just yet. Unfortunately, there are many places for indoor mold to hide. For example, indoor mold can be behind baseboards, under carpeting or wallpaper, in the ventilation system, or behind drywall. You should also be wary of any area that has been wet at one time but now appears dry: even non-living mold spores can cause adverse health symptoms. While hidden mold is more difficult to detect, it can often be recognized by odor. If you suspect you might have a mold problem, the next step is to utilize a do-it-yourself mold test or contact a professional IAQ consultant for testing.
Testing is an effective and recommended way to discover if mold is present, how much mold is present, and what types of mold are present. Having said that, please realize that these tests should be used as an initial screening procedure and that further testing may be needed to fully characterize your environmental conditions. There are two main test methods available that are very easy to use – the "Air Sample" method, and the "Tape-Lift" method. Each has its advantages and limitations.
PLEASE NOTE: The tape-lift method (described below) requires that you "disturb" the mold by placing a piece of tape on the affected area and lifting it off, whereas the air sample method does not. Therefore, the air sample method is recommended when there is a significant amount of mold, or if you have allergies or asthma, are immune compromised, or have any other serious medical risk.
The "Air Sample method" usually utilizes a culture plate (or petri dish) that must be refrigerated until time of use. It is then left open in the test area for about an hour. Live mold spores that are in the air then settle on the plate and will grow on the media over the course of 5 to 7 days. The plates are sent to a test lab where they are carefully examined. This method allows for the specification of different types of live molds at the genus level and can show how severe the problem is based upon how many colonies grow on the plate.
It is important to note that this test method is a "snapshot" view of live airborne mold spore in the location tested. But mold spores can be released intermittently, based upon activity levels in the area, relative air pressure, and other variables, so the air sample snapshot may not reflect the true nature of the condition. Also, mold spores don't have to be live to cause health problems, and dead ones won't grow on the plates. Finally, molds grow at different rates. Slow growing molds (like Stachybotrys) could become hidden on the culture plate by the more rapid growing molds.
The "Tape-Lift method" of mold detection, as the name implies, utilizes a peel-off tape strip that is pressed on the surface to be tested. The sample is then applied to a glass slide and read at a test lab under a microscope at 400 to 1000 times magnification. Spores are identified by visual characteristics, such as size, shape, texture, and color. A heavy load of background material on the slide ‒ like dust, dirt or other debris ‒ might obscure the view of any mold spores present. A report is sent, usually showing a semi-quantitative estimate at the genus level. Because some spores look the same under a microscope (such as Penicillium and Aspergillus) they are listed together. And, because there are literally thousands of different spore types, you may sometimes see spores reported as "unidentifiable." Because tape-lift tests read both living and non-living spores, this sampling method reveals an historical account of what has occurred in an area over time rather than a snapshot of what is currently in the air.
Identification and subsequent remediation of indoor mold growth and related contaminants in a home, office or school can result in significant health improvements, as seen in the case of this asthmatic child:
A two year-old boy with a history of poorly controlled asthma was brought to an allergy clinic for assessment by a pediatric allergist. His symptoms included a "smoker-like" cough, nasal congestion, sneezing, eye irritation and wheezing. His family history for allergies was negative, and allergy skin testing demonstrated he was non-reactive to cats, dogs, cockroaches, dust mites, dust and mold allergens (with appropriate positive and negative controls).
The boy was prescribed anti-inflammatory inhalers, plus long and short acting B-agonists for breakthrough symptoms... In spite of the patient's medical regimen, the boy's symptoms persisted. Upon inquiry, his parents reported they had occasional rainwater entry into their finished basement. Mold testing (air and tape lift samples) in the home was recommended.
The mold investigation revealed there were elevated levels and types of mold spores in the finished basement (Stachybotrys, Cladosporium and Chaetomium), indicating indoor mold growth (amplification) had occurred in the area the boy used as his playroom.
The family arranged for environmental remediation, including hiring a qualified (certified) professional to remove the contaminated building materials (in accordance with NYC Guidelines on Assessment and Remediation of Fungi in Indoor Environments), steam-cleaning the carpets, using a vacuum cleaner with a high-efficiency particulate-arresting (HEPA) filter equipped with microfiltration vacuum bags, installing a furnace filter, and cleaning the ventilation system.
Upon completion of the remedial procedures, the patient's health improved dramatically. He was gradually weaned off his medications and remained asymptomatic... Six years later, the boy continues to do well. The physicians concluded remediation of the patient's environment and implementation of appropriate environmental controls were essential to the boy's improved outcome.

Part 2 - Mold Problems and Indoor Air Quality
Safety Precautions To Take When Around Mold
As we learned in Part 1, mold (a fungus, also called mildew) is an allergy trigger that can cause chronic sinusitis, itchy eyes, runny nose, and sore throat in millions of Americans. In addition, while molds themselves are not "toxic" or poisonous, some molds can be "toxigenic," meaning they produce toxins (more specifically mycotoxins), emitting spores that can cause symptoms in otherwise healthy people ranging from cough and wheeze to dull headache, nausea, and even mental lapses. For those with mold allergies or asthma, mycotoxins can also cause hyper-responsive allergic or asthmatic symptoms. For these reasons, it is wise to limit your exposure to mold and mold spores by taking appropriate safety measures when around it. While your environment may not host such dangerous mold species as Stachybotrys, it is still wise to use caution when beginning a mold clean-up project.
Protect Your Lungs: Wear at least an N95-rated respirator/mask when working around mold. These masks, when worn properly, will prevent mold spore, as well as other allergens and microparticles from entering your lungs. The N95 rating was developed by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), and means the mask media will filter 95% of all non-oil based airborne particulates. For even higher filtration, a NIOSH N99-rated mask will filter 99% of all non-oil based airborne particulates, and an N100-rated mask 99.97%. NIOSH also developed "R" and "P" ratings to aid in the selection process of respirators/masks where both oil-based and non-oil based particles are present. N95-rated masks and higher are used by most professionals in the mold remediation business.
Protect Your Hands & Skin: Wear heavy-duty gloves, preferably those that extend to the middle of the forearm, to prevent inadvertent contact with the mold contaminated area. For small projects, you can also use disposable vinyl gloves – some people like to wear these under the heavy-duty gloves. Remember to choose gloves that are latex free if you are sensitive to latex.
Protect Your Eyes: Mold allergen is an irritant causing many to have runny nose and watery eyes. Goggles are an important defense against getting potentially dangerous mold spore in your eyes. Safety Goggles that don't have ventilation holes are best. Standard swimming goggles can be used for smaller projects, but may fog if used extensively.
A mold problem in your home may not call for an expensive remediation specialist. In fact, you can breathe easier knowing that mold remediation is often as simple as finding the source of moisture and eliminating it. It would also be helpful to know the history of your home or apartment complex. For example, have you or previous owners experienced water damage or leakage of any kind? Has the foundation been inspected for moisture or seepage? Below are some practical, cost-saving cleaning tips to help you eliminate unsightly mold stains, and to prevent further growth:
- Repair all moisture leaks. Mold can only thrive in areas with moisture. Water leaks and damage should be repaired within 48 hours of occurrence in order to prevent mold growth.
- Before cleaning an affected area, lightly spray it with water or your chosen cleaning solution. This will prevent the spores from becoming airborne as you clean. And remember to wear gloves, goggles, and a mask as noted above.
- Scrub mold off of hard surfaces with cleaner and let dry completely. If you use a fume-free, chlorine-free cleaner like NAS-12, just spray it, let it sit for a few minutes, then lightly scrub, rinse and let dry. Some porous and absorbent materials (such as ceiling tiles) that cannot be cleaned completely may need to be thrown away or replaced entirely.
- Do not just paint or caulk over a moldy surface. First, clean the area thoroughly, let it dry completely (24 hours if you have used a chlorine-based product), then treat hard surface areas with No More Mildew (a protective layer that prevents mold from regrowing for up to 2 years), or paint with a mold-retardant like MX-3 Mildewcide added to the paint.
- Clean your showers, windowsills, kitchens, basement and other areas that might be prone to moisture and mold growth. Treat these surfaces with a mold inhibitor such as No More Mildew or AllerTech Mold & Mildew Stain Preventer.
- Closely monitor and clean appliances such as humidifiers, water-based vaporizers, and air conditioning units that generate or collect moisture. Note: Arizona and other desert-state residents may know about evaporative swamp coolers. Believe it or not, despite the dry climate, these cooling units are major mold culprits. Regularly clean your swamp cooler to prevent mold spore from growing and disseminating into the air. Use Goodmorning Purifying Spray on the vents and coils of any of these appliances to prevent mold.
- Basements have all the conditions that help mold thrive. Keep your basement clean by removing moldy articles, cleaning all surface molds, then spraying floors, walls and joists with a mold preventative. Use a dehumidifier to remove excess moisture.
- Clean the air in your environment by utilizing a HEPA air cleaner. HEPA stands for High-Efficiency Particulate Arrestor, and is a NASA-developed technology that will remove airborne mold spore and other harmful allergens (99.97% of them, in fact!) by circulating and purifying the air.
- You can also clean air of mold spores with a mold zapper or Airfree air purifier. These filterless devices use heat to kill mold spores and other airborne microorganisms that pass through them through a process known as convection. For best effect, these very safe devices are meant to run 24/7. They use far less energy than air purifiers with motors, and there are no fans, so they run silently! They also tend to be much smaller than typical room air purifiers.
Following is a handy guide from the EPA outlining some common mold-affected areas and the best methods for cleaning them. Again, remember to wear gloves, goggles, and an N95-rated mask during cleanup. Also, please note that these guidelines are for surface areas of 10 square feet or less. If the evidence of mold covers an area of more than 10 square feet, the EPA recommends you should seek professional consultation, as it may be endangering your health and could require professional containment:
|Books and Papers
|Carpet and Backing
|1, 3
|Concrete or cinder block
|1, 3
|Hard surface, porous flooring (linoleum, ceramic tile, vinyl)
|1, 2, 3
|Non-porous, hard surfaces (plastic, metals)
|1, 2, 3
|Upholstered furniture and drapes
|1, 3
|Wallboard (drywall and gypsum board)
|Wood surfaces
|1, 2, 3

Prevention: It's Easier Than You Think!
Even if you live in a very humid area or your hometown has seen more rain than usual this summer, you are not necessarily resigned to having mold problems. The following tips will help you to keep moisture and humidity from turning into a potentially dangerous mold problem.
Tips on Preventing and Controlling Moisture and Mold
- Monitor humidity and temperature levels in your home regularly. According to the EPA, humidity levels should not be above 60% (ideally, between 30-50%).
- Provide adequate ventilation and air circulation in the home by installing exhaust fans and opening room doors and windows (individuals allergic to pollen or sensitive to other outdoor pollutants should use discretion about keeping windows open or alternatively use a window filter).
- Keep a close eye on areas prone to condensation. Cover cold surfaces with insulation and increase the air temperature when condensation begins to appear.
- In the bathroom, run the vent fan or open windows during and after a shower so that the moisture can dissipate. Use a mildew resistant shower curtain that can easily be laundered. Avoid using carpeted surfaces that absorb moisture. Use a mold-inhibiting paint or MX-3 Mildewcide Paint Additive.
- Avoid foam-rubber upholstery and bedding items, as they are more prone to mold growth. Bedding encasings are a good precaution against mold growth, and they keep away the dust mites too!
- Keep a limited number of houseplants, and try adding a mold-preventative to the soil.
- Vent your clothes dryer to the outside of the house, and do not let clothes sit for long in damp heaps, in or out of the washer.
- Periodically check carpet laid directly on concrete surfaces, as the carpeting can absorb moisture. Consider covering concrete floors or crawl-space floors in moisture-prone areas with plastic sheets, tarps or other moisture barrier.
- If necessary, use an electric dehumidifier to keep the relative humidity below 60%.
When it May Be Time to Get Help
- Duct Cleaning is normally recommended for homes that are 15 to 20 years old, for homes that have been flooded or suffered water damage, and in instances where a mold test reveals mold spore within your ducts and component parts.
Should you deem it necessary to have your ducts cleaned, be aware that it will stir up the allergens within your ductwork. As a precaution, we recommend that children and sensitive adults limit their exposure to the air in the home for 24 hours while a HEPA air filter purifies the new air.
- As stated in the EPA guidelines above, mold problems affecting areas less than 10 square feet are manageable by homeowners. When the affected area is greater than this, the EPA and other agencies advise seeking professional assessment. If you are concerned with specific items that may have mold infestation, particularly those of sentimental or monetary value, consult a specialist to help you clean these items. Finally, should a do-it-yourself mold test reveal the presence of Stachybotrys mold, you should avoid any exposure to the area and seek professional help immediately due to the high toxicity of this dangerous mold.
You can find a mold remediation specialist by:
- Visiting the American Industrial Hygienist Association (AIHA) website and searching for a consultant in your area.
- Click here for AIHA's 2014 Consultants Listing ‒ Comprehensive Directory of Occupational & Environmental Health and Safety Professionals.
- Checking the yellow pages under Mold and Mildew or Indoor Air Quality. Most telephone directories list a variety of specialists in remediation, restoration, conservation, furniture repair, cleaning, and more.

Teaming with potential for medical breakthrough, Beyond Boundaries by neuroscientist Miguel Nicolelis discusses research in neurophysiology and "brain-machine interfaces" (BMIs). The book starts out by explaining how single neurons do not intrinsically process brain activity such as a thought or action, but how brain processes consist of many neurons working as a functional unit. For example, there is no single neuron contains the memory of a Grandmother's face; one's memories emerge from fields of neurons firing in unified patterns. In addition, the author explains how most brain functions (like memory) are not located in specific anatomical regions, but rather in dynamic patterns of functional activity spread across various regions the brain.
By developing methods for recording and computing detailed patterns of large scale neuronal activity, Nicolelis and other researchers have trained animals to articulately control machine limbs through brain activity alone, i.e. without moving their physical bodies. This BMI research has exciting implications, for example in cases where individuals have lost the function of their legs due to spinal cord damage. Soon they may be equipped with wearable, exoskeleton suits that drive their legs in locomotion by directly reading their brain's neuronal firings. Ideally, such an interface would not require brain implants to record the high-resolution neural activity necessary for tasks like balancing and walking. The author concludes with fascinating speculations on where brain interface technology may lead us and how it might transform our society in centuries to come.
I found Beyond Boundaries to be comprehensive and engaging, but I occasionally had to push myself through the many research details until I approached the more exciting results and conclusions. While reading, I conjured ideas about how such advances might be used in conjunction with virtual worlds and virtual instruments. I imagined people training themselves to control many-limbed digital avatars, or playing virtual instruments with new and unimagined levels of control and articulation. In truth, some of the ideas illustrated in this book are so immense that I have yet to finish digesting them, and I might have to re-read a few chapters to gain a complete picture. But the book is fairly accessible to the general reader, and I would recommend it anyone interested in neuroscience, engineering, or future interfaces.

A 7-day training programme to raise awareness of the youth on the impact of climate change in the Arctic takes place this summer in Svalbard, Norway aboard the ship M/v "Antarctic Dream". Organized by the British Council, the training programme will be attended by twenty young people from across Europe and Canada who are active in climate change projects. The programme will be facilitated by experts from GRID-Arendal.
GRID-Arendal will share its scientific and social expertise in the areas of climate change, polar environments, green economy and sustainable tourism while utilizing the amazing training environment of Svalbard.
During the excursion participants will learn about polar climate-related issues, sustainable tourism and undergo capacity building in communicating climate change and developing and managing projects for implementation in their countries when they return.
At the same time they will see and experience the full beauty and drama of Svalbard and the polar Arctic region.

Bodalski's twirling talents sparkle
University School junior wins Distinguished Young Woman of Elm Grove
It's a talent that doesn't get recognized by her peers very often.
But Elizabeth Bodalski's baton twirling skills should.
It's a talent that has allowed her to travel the country performing in front of thousands of people at major venues. It's a talent that has helped fill her bedroom with hundreds of trophies to the point where she's running out of space to put them all.
And it's ultimately the talent that helped her capture the 2013 Distinguished Young Woman of Elm Grove title a couple of weeks ago.
"I'm more known for volleyball," said Bodalski, who turns 17 this week. "I think people know about it, but I just don't emphasize it a lot. I'm kind of quiet about it."
Her talents, however, were made loud and clear when her marvelous baton twirling was on full display at the DYW program.
Taking classes together
It's a skill she has learned to master since the University School junior and her sister Margaret, 14, began taking classes at a local YMCA nine years ago.
They both fell in love with the art and have dedicated themselves to it.
"Twirling is something that has brought us very close over the years because we've spent so many hours practicing with each other," Elizabeth Bodalski said. "We go through all the ups and downs together, and we have made countless memories that we will always be able to share."
Memories such as traveling to San Diego to the Pacific Life Holiday Bowl - one of the bigger college football bowl games - in 2008 when her group, the Daley Debutantes, performed at halftime.
Memories such as traveling to South Bend, Ind., to the Notre Dame campus every summer to compete at the national baton twirling championships as well as winning the state duet title in the summer of 2008 and 2009.
Bodalski also helped her team take third place at nationals the last two years.
Bodalski said there were differences between the DYW scholarship competition and performing at a place like the Holiday Bowl.
"It's a little different when you don't know anyone in the stands, because at the bowl game it wasn't just me being on stage," Bodalski said. "I knew a lot of the parents at Central and East and that made it a little nerve-racking because speaking in front of that many people you're always afraid of messing up.
"But once you get started the nerves go away and you forget about everyone who's watching."
She must have, as the honor student won three of the five categories (interview, talent and self-expression) earning $400 in total scholarship money over the other two competitors.
"It was such an honor, because both of the girls were such great people and being able to act as a leader in Elm Grove is such a great opportunity," Bodalski said. "I'm really looking forward to the year ahead of me."
Busy year ahead
She'll have a busy year representing the city as well as taking part in the many organizations she's involved in such as being her class president at USM, playing club volleyball and lacrosse, participating in Spanish Honor Society, the Global Youth Leadership Institute (a non-profit leadership organization) and the STAR service club (an organization at USM that does service projects in the community).
The year will also include competing at the state competition in August. While she'd like to take home the crown, it's not her focus.
"I'm sure that I'm going to meet a lot of people and make a lot of friends regardless if I don't win," Bodalski said. "The program has so much to offer to a young woman. It can help you become a better leader and help you strive to make a difference. It will definitely be a positive experience in my life."
Just like competing in the Elm Grove program was for Bodalski, who continued a tradition of St. Mary's alumnae winning the award as Sarah Creegan won the competition last year. The two are also neighbors.
"I knew her and I wanted to follow in her footsteps." Bodalski said of Creegan. "We live only four houses apart, and it's nice to keep the title on Crescent Drive two years in a row."

Great Basic Black Flats
"These shoes are so comfortable and are a great purchase for a great price. I needed basic black flats that would be comfortable enough for walking around campus and professional enough for work. These fit the bill. They stretch out quite a bit as you wear them, so it's okay if they are a little tight when you first buy them."

"I brought these in grey, and was very pleased when they arrived. I had only had a chance to see the black ones in person, so I was worried that other colors might not look right with the material, but they indeed do look really great. They have a slight shine which makes them look a little more dressy than I thought the black looked. The fit really well and didn't need to be broken in. I am contemplating ordering them in the coral now."

Hey baby, wanna take a gander at some Adam West penis?
Hello there! New to the forums c: (yaay) but anyways I enjoyed this one, sad to see Kenpachi like that, but I dont think he's gonna die. I think Komamura is the one most likely to die here, I still hate how Kubo makes all the captains seem pathetic, Ichigo always has to go and save them, and he should be around the same level, We still have to see many stuff like what happens with Byakuya, Renji and Rukia, Hitsugayas battle, Komamuras, and last but not least what happened to Urahara and who that person was with the sword.
Am I the only one who thinks Yama-Ji is gonna die somehow / somewhere in this war? It could either motivate all the captains to be strong or ...make them freak out like pussies xD I dunno... just sayin'
Edit: Oh its also the first time we see Momo and her new look right? dont care much about her, just pointing it out.
...You Know?..
i love it

I'm also thinking that Yama will die. Bach will retreat after it then prepare an all out war(something like Aizen). In the meantime SS will try to recover, delegate a new commander and so the 1000 year blood war continues !

Skip to comments.BREAKING NEWS! No Verdict For Jodi Arias [Vanity]
Posted on 05/23/2013 4:43:44 PM PDT by bimboeruption
The jury hangs on the penalty phase. Another jury will be convened in July.
More agony for Travis' family.
Jodi Arias has put them through Hell...and she's enjoying every minute of it.
I remember criminologist Jack Levin saying about five years ago that juries are reluctant to convict women of capital murder crimes. He said oftentimes, juries look to avoid giving death sentences to females. I think he said it regarding a case in New Hampshire.
I am so sick of this witch, and I switch channels every time news of this trial comes on. Why is she capturing the national attention? Enough. Hang her high and throw her in an unmarked grave.
Just announced on TV that members of the jury will hold a news conference shortly. We'll soon find out what happened.
I think it was a single FEMALE holdout. Women can be such sniveling idiots. (I'm a girl BTW.)
On which side of the aisle do you put Chrissie Matthews? /sarc
Witch is the right word...Now that she can no longer torture Travis...she tortures his family. You can tell she gets off on it.
Spineless jury..rumor is there were 2 women that refused to debate the penalty, adamant against death. So, poor Alexander family has to wait months until a new jury can be brought in to decide life or death. & if they are hung as well, then judge gets to decide 25 years or life..judge can't order death.
At least that's my understanding of AZ law. Crazy!!
I don't know what's worse...sniveling males or females.
However being a girl, I have NO TOLERANCE WHATSOEVER for weak women.
I could plug 'em.
The jury was supposed to be "death qualified."
What happened?
She is guilty... what is so hard about the penalty phase?
I just heard the jurors cancelled their news conference.
Their lips are sealed.
Justice is having a tough time these days.
Jodi Arias should be put to death. She didn't just kill Travis. She tortured him. Give her an E-ticket to HELL.
She stabbed him 29 times, shot him in the head and slashed his throat from ear to ear...
Then after physically killing him, she kills his reputation by saying in court that he was a pedophile.
I have no mercy for this lowlife.
Fry the sociopathic b*tch. Without another self gratifying interview.
And now his family has to live it all again...the autopsy photos...the medical examiner's testimony. And they have to travel from California to Arizona to attend the trial.
God help them.
If I would have been on the jury, I would have voted to execute her for his family's sake.
How long can they go through this?
Exactly! that's why everyone shocked & outraged..so much for 1 or 2 women unable to set aside their emotions. Especially after Jodi's narcissistic slideshow & dreams of becoming a spanish teacher/greenie recylcer in jail.
If Hillary is the result of standing by your man...I vote for adultery.
The wig world breathes a sigh of relief.
Her mitigating factors are:
She can grow hair
She recycles
She can trace pictures
She's good with her hands
And some idiot(s) on the jury fell for this.
My gosh...can you imagine wearing a wig made out of the hair of a murderer?
Yep, some bleeding heart lib idiot.
Shave her bald with an "M" tattooed on her forehead.
And with really grabs my a$$ is that everyone on the jury said they could render the death penalty.
Prayers for this family .Just think you should follow the law. These jurors don't execute Jodi. The State does while the Governor has veto power of stay or execution. The juror(s) should not have been on the jury if they could not do their job and it looks like they some of them couldn't.
People have the right to their opinions regarding the death penalty but they should also know they should be held accountable and responsible for their actions.
Just heard that out of the 4 penalty retrials in AZ, 3 out of 4 = death penalty so odds in favor of the witch burning at the stake.
Figured this would happen..when I heard yesterday that they were hung I had a feeling it was an even split..sucks that they have to go through this all over again and now Jodi can do more annoying as hell interviews..Jodi reminds me a lot of Obama, loves being on TV and wont shut her trap
Spineless jury..rumor is there were 2 women that refused to debate the penalty
Of course lib/s!
especially after hearing rumors that she wouldn't budge, debate the facts via testimony etc..she already had her mind made up based on emotions not facts or reason.
Ack...no I cannot!
I bet you there a plenty of people in this country who would go out of their way to buy a wig made with her hair though ><.
Whichever liberated female bailed on the jury is a selfish itch, rhymes with.
To not give the family their freedom after all the torture they've been through...because you don't believe in the death penalty(though you lied in the vetting) and can't give an axe murderer what is coming to her?
"She", if it is one juror, is going to have to live with this mistake. I hope the holdout is hounded and harassed for the rest of her life.
If it's more than one juror who bailed, betrayed the Arias family and sold his or her soul, shame on all of them.
I lost faith in our justice system post Casey Anthony. What a travesty to put trust in 12 low information human beings, which most jurors are because they are too stupid to figure out how to get out of jury duty.
That being said,,and please don't pounce on me for saying this, WHAT THE HELL WAS ALEXANDER THINKING WHEN HE HOOKED UP WITH THAT CRAZY BUNNY BOILER?
Why do I have a feeling those who refused to sentence this murdering prick to death were liberal
If they voted at all, how much you wanna bet they proudly cast their ballots for the Halfrican?
Im shocked those same jurors even found her guilty of 1st degree murder..I think the pretty factor had a huge bearing on this case..some people just refuse to put to death a pretty girl..Jodi's soul is just pure evil, but here they see this girl, hair in a ponytail, librarian look, they refuse to fry her..I would but some wont
Excuse me for my typo! "betrayed the Alexander family".
Its Maricopa County..I would bet it would be more Conservative since Sheriff Arpaio is running things but I guess a few liberal scum got on the jury
Travis's friends said the moment they saw Jodi they knew something wasn't right with her, but some dudes just like crazy chicks
Travis was a trusting soul but dumb, and he went for the easy sex. He should have stayed with the tenets of his faith. They were only boyfriend/girlfriend for a couple of months! After that, she lured him with what she claimed was no strings attached sex. But, as you said, she was, in reality, a bunny boiler. She was furious that after "converting to Mormonism," moving to Arizona, and offering every option for his sexual satisfaction, he didn't consider her marriageable or even serious girlfriend material. She punished him. Now she needs to get her punishment and out of the spotlight permanently. I feel so very sorry for his family, who has suffered for years because of this woman. God give them strength to keep on going.
Too true. Sociopathy requires the death penalty. Whoever voted no is a disgrace
and you are 100% correct
people lie
The split is reportedly 8 - 4 for death.
She reminds me of Casey Anthony. They could be twins.

Making sense of Paul Holmgren's trades
Cam Charron
June 24 2011 02:17PM
From a stand-alone perspective, trading Jeff Carter to Columbus is not a bad trade for the Philadelphia Flyers. Everything that happened afterwards is chaotic, as Flyers General Manager Paul Holmgren laid his team's foundation and future through 2012 on a roulette table.
Where the Jeff Carter trade baffles me is that it meant more than a long contract for salary cap relief, a young roster player (Jakub Voracek) and a couple of picks, one of them #8 in a pretty decent draft. Philadelphia used all the long-term money they save on a piece that they may not have needed. An oft-repeated cliché is that the Flyers were just a goalie away from the Stanley Cup. They haven't won one since Bernie Parent.
(By the way, in the above link, forgive me for typing that the Flyers only moveable contracts do not include Jeff Carter or Mike Richards.)
The Philadelphia Flyers, however, were just as close to a Stanley Cup as they ever were with Pelle Lindbergh or Ron Hextall as they were with Michael Leighton in net. This is a real good Philadelphia team, a good mix of talent at forward. The only truly pressing need the Flyers had was that they had one too many overpaid defensemen, plus a few long contracts that may become an issue in the year 2020. Nothing Paul Holmgren did took away from that. He reshuffled the forward corps and, for my money, potentially made them as deep two or three years down the line as they are today. That is hardly worth the risk.
The Flyers traded away 59 goals from last season in Carter and Mike Richards for 28 in Voracek and Wayne Simmonds (who still need to be re-signed as restricted free agents). They got Brayden Schenn (who scored eight goals in seven games at the World Juniors, but did it shooting 30.8%) I'm not sure where Paul Holmgren made the deduction that, when you're good enough to win now, it's best to re-tool and think about the team's future. The Richards and Carter deals are long and expensive, but, being good enough to win now, you eat the poor value from future contracts and bite the bullet for another shot at the Stanley Cup. This is the point of the front-loaded deal, since it also makes the contract easier to unload to a team with more cap space than available funds.
As bad as the Ilya Bryzgalov contract looks now, at least it wasn't an over-35 deal (hint: Chris Pronger) so if Bryz hangs them up, it doesn't count against the salary cap. At an annual cap hit of $5.7M, Bryzgalov's value (dollars per win) is placed somewhere between Roberto Luongo and Tim Thomas, above Cam Ward and Marc-André Fleury, but far below that of Sergei Bobrovsky or Brian Boucher.
While Philly's defensemen and goaltending is set for the present, while Holmgren tooled his forwards to be more in line with the future. He's taking a big gamble that Claude Giroux, James Van Riemsdyk, Voracek and Schenn to emulate the production that Richards and Carter netted him. Most of all, the gamble came for an unchivalrous reason, which was overreacting to the media-and-fan-generated narrative that the Flyers needed a goaltender. This was a real good hockey team in Philadelphia. It still might be, if they can get all these players signed.

I hereby claim this spot for TEAM FIST
Never, never.
Smitty on the verge of becoming a flamer and you come with this garbage!!! Fuhgetboutit!!
June 24 2011, 02:35PM
Could there be a deal with Philly for that 8th pick? say maybe Gagner and our 19th?
Liles from avs to Toronto 2nd pick 2012
The Carter deal was about salary dump and getting picks. The Richards deal was about salary to sign Bryzgalov and clearing the way for Chris Pronger to wear the C!
Could there be a deal with Philly for that 8th pick? say maybe Gagner and our 19th?
that is terrible for us
June 24 2011, 03:01PM
I like soup.
They're clearing the way for Brad Richards. I doubt Homer's done dealing. If only Mr Dithers woke up from his nap to field some calls.....
Could there be a deal with Philly for that 8th pick? say maybe Gagner and our 19th?
Even it I wasn't a biased oiler fan, do you really think that's a good deal? Is the 8th worth a #2 C and conservatively speaking a 3/4 liner, 3-4 dman?
I had heard the same grapevine rumours you always hear in these situations. A rift in the room potentially caused by someone being with another player's wife.
Even it I wasn't a biased oiler fan, do you really think that's a good deal? Is the 8th worth a #2 C and conservatively speaking a 3/4 liner, 3-4 dman?
ONLY if Couturier was still available at eight. And I don't think he would be.
That's pretty much how I see it:
Columbus deal: Not bad. They clear a lot of cap and get a couple of nice assets. If it was purely a cap clearing move, however, the Flyers liekly had better options to accomplish that.
Richards deal: W...T...F? If all goes well and the stars align, one day Brayden Schenn could become as good a player as Richards. As it stands now, he's not even close (and I like him as a prospect), and Simmonds and a 2nd doesn't bridge the gap. Centers like Mike Richards are rare, and when you have one you'd better sign them long ter...oh wait.
Bryzgalov: This is just the icing on the cake for me. He's probably the best goalie they've had for a decade or more, and the cap hit isn't bad. But signing a goaltender for 9 years is almost always a bad move for everyone but the guy cashing the cheques. Moving two elite young talents for the opportunity to do so makes even less sense.
June 24 2011, 03:57PM
Sure wish we had an owner and General Manager with balls of steel like Ed Snider and Paul Holmgren. Are Tambellini and Lowe even in Minnesota?
June 24 2011, 04:53PM
The Carter trade I thought was a good deal. The Richards deal really caught me by surprise. I think that the East is very winnable now so dealing for futures like this seems like a big risk especially in a market that is starving for a cup win and won't hesitate to boo these young kids if they don't produce right away.
June 24 2011, 05:05PM
Richards is one of those guys that is completely the cream of the crop. He should be untradeable. LA just bought a blue chip. Philly will not find another player like this for a while. This just made the Penguins that much better.
ONLY if Couturier was still available at eight. And I don't think he would be.
this deal just got better for philly. couturier goes at 8. oilers really missed a great opportunity i believe to solidify the centreice position for years to come.
June 24 2011, 10:01PM
Adding Schenn and Couturier takes a lot of the sting off of losing Richards and Carter. It'll take a few years for those kids to replace their offensive output though.
June 25 2011, 08:35AM
The real reason why this happened is simple: they got too big for their britches, plain and simple. Too much too fast and Philly management sent a message about culture.
These were horrible deals. You took your foundation (not 39 Pronger) and sold for a maybe future. Simmons, Voracek are players they already have in Hartnell and Nodl?? And both players had worse stats then previous seasons. This is just a rebuild and it will haunt them like the Brind-a-moor trade did in early 2000. Your don't trade players coming into thier prime with tons of experience in playoffs.

Canada returns to World League with victory
In its first World League match in five years, the Canadians made big comebacks in the opening two sets to defeat Finland 33-31, 26-24, 25-23.
Now in its 23rd year, the World League is a 16-country intercontinental tournament that takes place every summer, reaching all corners of the planet, offering worldwide TV coverage and the biggest cash prizes in the sport.
Gavin Schmitt of
''We are really happy with the win,'' said
In an exciting first set,
''We have to start better,'' said Winters, the Canadian team captain. "Certainly we showed that we can get a rhythm by being able to comeback which is good.''
The second set was almost a carbon copy of the first. The Finns were firing on all cylinders early building an 8-3 lead. The Canadians again slowly caught up and eventually took a 22-21 lead when Perrin put an extra spin on a shot over the net after a great dig by Winters. Again Winters closed the set on a bullet smash.
''It was a close match,'' said
On Saturday, the Canadians face world number-one

CUPERTINO, Calif., Dec. 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Massive Dynamics, Inc.'s (OTCBB: MSSD) president, Oscar Hines announced this morning "Management of Massive Dynamics has taken steps to speed up confirmations to customers that have preordered the new TeliPad smartphone device. We have received several communications from customers expressing concern of whether they have been officially registered for the first 200,000 preorders – qualifying them for the special introductory price. We have temporarily brought on outside assistance to speed up the process. If you have not yet received a confirmation, you should receive one shortly. Also, please be sure to check your spam folder, in case the confirmation has ended up in that folder instead of your inbox."
The Company has encountered a surprising number of preorders for its TeliPad since announcing it on "Cyber Monday" of last week. Massive Dynamics new TeliPad is the Company's entrance into the multi-billion dollar smartphone market that has been noticeably held by Apple Inc., the Nokia Corporation, Google Inc. and Research in Motion. The Company is currently interviewing and expects to permanently add the number of employees necessary to keep up with demand for the TeliPad.
What really sets this new TeliPad apart from smartphone competitors is that it "adds" a two-line smartphone to an existing Apple Inc. iPad (including the Mini), Android tablet or Windows tablet.
The new TeliPad product from Massive Dynamics eliminates the need to carry a separate smartphone if you already own certain computing tablets. Because of its two line functionality, the one TeliPad device actually takes the place of two smartphones and a tablet, by making the tablet itself all that you need to carry to fully communicate and interact online and on the phone. The TeliPad is about the size of a credit card and can be adhered to the back of your computing tablet or kept in close proximity, since it works via Bluetooth©. The TeliPad is compatible with iOS, Android and Windows tablets. The smartphone function is designed to work on AT&T©, Verizon©, T-Mobile©, and Cellular One© networks or any network that supports SIMM. At this time, the TeliPad is not supported by Sprint© network systems technology.
More information on the TeliPad and other breakthrough technology and products that Massive Dynamics develops and sells may be seen at www.MassiveDynamicsCorp.com

If you haven't noticed by now, I kind of love Canadian weddings. And by "kind of love," I mean I am full-fledged, 100% obsessed. That's because our neighbors to the North really know how to deliver the pretty and from Toronto to Vancouver, I can't seem to get enough. Take for example today's darling Cave Springs Vineyard affair from Lg Weddings. It's a beauty… and boasts some of the sweetest details you ever did see. I'm talking milk glass centerpieces, a darling duo and, of course, a breathtaking Canada setting. See every last moment in the full gallery.
From Lg Weddings… Jenna and Jonathon were married at Cave Spring Vineyard in Jordan, Ontario. Their outdoor ceremony plans had to change slightly due to the rain, but as soon as they finished saying their vows, the sun shone brightly for the rest of the day. Perfect timing for us to get some great photos in the beautiful vineyard! Jenna's attention to detail and hard work planning this wedding really paid off (like collecting all those lovely milk vases for centerpieces), as every single element of this wedding was picture perfect!
