#1949 Summers Alba Glazzkraft Racing Baja 500 Race Story
By Alonso Lopez, Driver & Team Owner
First of all, I want to thank God for keeping us safe on this grueling race course. Our most sincere condolences to the families of the 2 fallen racers and to the family who lost their boy in such an unfortunate accident.
As you know, every race starts with the preparation of the race car, chase, supplies, and improvement on parts, from the experience of past races:
Summers Brothers designed and built a new set of thicker/stronger rear axles, the "Barbarian Furious".
Alba Racing rebuilt us a very reliable motor with their Stage-2 Kit.
Glazzkraft made a brand new set of their full carbon fiber "Bomber Race Body Kit".
King Shocks rebuilt & added more valves to their IBP shocks to perform better in the San Felipe whoops.
Rigid Industries provided us with a new more-efficient setup of lights for our new front bumper.
Trinity Racing created a new stronger/thicker packaging for their dual slip-on brushed xxhaust system.
Weddle Industries & @Montes Motores y Transmiciones de Competencia (out of Ensenada, BC, very well known for many champion race cars on class 16, 10, 5-1600, etc.) fully race prepped a brand new Polaris Transmission, including the Japanese Heavy Duty bearings supplied by Alba Racing.
Schaeffer's Oil formulated a new transmission oil to reduce components heating.
OMF Wheels supplied us with a 10 sets of their new lighter wheel centers.
Rugged Radios made sure that we have the best communications available.
Slime provided the number 1 tire sealant on the market.
BFGoodrich Tires / Jackson Motorsports assisted with the most amazing UTV tire all around (only 2 flat tires in more than 2,500 miles of Off Road Racing).
Baja Pits provided reliable pit stops as always. Carlos Orozco and his team is a MUST TO HAVE on every race where they attend.
Roots Off-Road framing the best still images and videos for our race team.
We headed for Ensenada early in the week with plans to pre-run most of the race course. Unfortunately, our pre-runner UTV had some fuel and electrical issues and we couldn't make it work. We ended up doing less than 60 miles of the 477 race miles. Extremely disappointed in our cancellation of pre-running, we turned our focus to the race car. We headed to San Matias which many of you would recognize as the section where you can run wide open through massive whoops right along Hwy 3. Its a long and bruatl whoop packed section that can really test your machine. We went there with King to adjust the shocks on the race car and get them race ready. If they could handle San Matias then they could handle anywhere else on the course. While testing the race car we developed an electrical issue that took some time to figure out, it also freaked us out. The last thing we need this close to the race is a gremlin, an electrical one at that.
On Friday we headed downtown with our race car and the entire #1949 team to take part in the Baja 500 Tech & Contingency. After contingency while on the way back to camp, we started hearing some weird noises and developed a terrible vibration in the front end of the car. We quickly stopped at a gas station and got out of the car to find the front differential was smoking and oil was spraying everywhere. The front diff bearing broke and annihilated the entire differential. from there I drove slowly to our camp and changed the front half of the 4WD driveline and installed the spare differential. We took the car that evening to the "Papas & Beer Street Party" to display and to represent for our sponsors. The drive their showed no problems. After some food and fun we got the RZR out of the parking area to head back, we had to get ready for the race the next day but on the way back to camp I started to hear the same noise and feel that familiar vibration. I quickly shut off 4WD and drove at 10MPH the rest of the way to camp. We checked the front driveline again and discovered that it was bent. We then checked the rear driveline and discovered that it too was bent. We figured that we must have really damaged the drivelines while pounding the RZR through the San Matias whoops the day before. After stripping our pre-runner of its complete driveline we got it installed into the race car. It was now 4am on race day. I instructed the team to get as much rest as possible!
As we headed to staging the noises and vibration were still there. I told Pancho (my copilot), "No 4WD Pancho, you will have to help me a lot, to get through the Summit and the long wash after that as well as the silt beds." He told me not to worry as he has raced his Class 16 car many times, and we will get through. We were about to take on one of the most brutal races in the world minus one of our biggest assets, 4 wheel drive.
We started the race 8th off the line and we just took it easy through the wash (after the terrible accident that we were aware of), and started getting used to do not have 4WD. The car drifts more than normal, but it only took me a little time to get used to it.
At RM8, I see a UTV stopped on the side of the course. A minute later I see the #1915 of Thomas Graves and the #1952 of Jonathan McVay fighting for positions. I pass the #1915 and half a minute later the #1952 moves to the side so I can pass him as well.We were in the race and moving along at a good pace!
At around RM18, I see the back of the #1958 of George Felix, and I remember something George and me were joking around about on Facebook few days back. I told Pancho I will get as close to him as I can in the next turn despite the heavy dust and silt. When I make a left turn to go up a hill I'm instantly blinded with dust, I back it down to just work through the dust and the next thing I see is the rear bumper of the #1958. I try to quickly stop but by the time I saw him it was too late. I hit George on his rear bumper, not hard, but still hit him. It's been a story between George and I about hitting each other. Not in a mean way, but just as competitors.
I could then see that George was pushing another UTV in front of him. He had a chance to just leave that other UTV on the side but he kept pushing him forward and I'm like, "George, come on, you already helped him, now, MOVE". He finally moves to the side, TOGETHER with the other car, that's when I realize they were stuck bumper to bumper. We made the pass and moved on up the course. A few miles later on top of the mountain, we can see a huge bottleneck. I was in the middle of a smaller bottleneck on the 2014 SCORE Baja 500, and my race plan was a mess after that. So I stop and think for few seconds and tell Pancho "We will go on their right side until the point where we can't move anymore, then we will go from there". As we do that the #2930 of Sean Cook cuts in front of us. I'm like ok, you did that, now move forward. He moves only a few yards to the front and stops, so I put my car in reverse, then move to the side of Sean's car, and keep moving, I cannot see much, as those little trees hold A LOT OF DUST on their leaves. When I feel that it is safe no more to continue moving along the hillside, I see an opening between two class 10 cars, and move to the left of the bottleneck, where the side of the hill is more even. Then Pancho tells me: "Do I get off the car, and find a safe path?" I tell him: "Yes please". So he starts moving on the left of the many stuck cars, and I slowly follow him. Believe it or not, that side of the hill was flat as it can be. What all the other cars needed to do was just follow us or try to find that path. We were lucky. At the very end, I hear another pilot on my side yelling at us, like: "Fuc…. UTV's, if you pass me I will hit you when I find you later, lalalalalala", stuff like that. I'm like, "Dude, why you can't tell your copilot to do the same as mine?" Instead of being all frustrated to wait and wait.
When we get to the front of the bottle neck, there was a Class 10 car at the bottom of the uphill, and 150 yards behind, a TT Spec just sit, waiting there, with no intentions to move or even try to pass the moron spectator that got stuck in the middle of the uphill. Both cars have their engine off. I cannot believe there were 50+ cars stuck only because the cars at front where doing nothing. We kept going and pass on the cliff side of the moron stuck at the middle of the uphill with no problems at all. We paid a small price though: We got a flat while going through the bushes and small pine trees but I couldn't stop to change it, there is no room, and remember, other cars now hate us, and I can hear the roar of some cars moving already. So I waited until we find a sweet hidden spot to change the flat tire. The OMF Wheel took a serious beating from the big rocks but they along with the BFGoodrich Tires held together well.
We kept moving and when we made it to Ojos Negros our crew replaced our spare tire with a good one. Before getting to the "77", I start feeling rocks and sand on my helmet shield and hands. I'm like, shit, maybe the front skid plate fell. We stopped with some spectators there, and Pancho checked on the problem. Somehow the front left axle got off the front diff (luckily for us, we were not using any 4WD, so there was no torque on it). Pancho strap the axle to the lower A-arm with some heavy duty zip ties, but a little later, we see the axle flying away from us. It was rocky and sandy just before getting to the highway. Our crew was waiting there, with all parts and tools ready, and we changed the axle, refreshed ourselves, and loaded an extra front axle just in case.
We then headed for the "Summit". We were able to climb these rocky mountains with no problem at all, and by the time we got to the sand wash we could really feel the triple-digit heat in our face. I told Pancho to keep a close eye on the motor temperature as I knew we might have overheating issues. A few miles later I noticed that the car was starting to go over 206F and I told Pancho I would stop when we reach 210F. And we did so it was a long race from then on as I wanted to keep the engine together to finish the race. In fact, we stopped later when the motor reached 216F. We had to stop several times to cool down the motor and lost a lot of time doing so, but at the end, it paid off.
We got to the "Saldana" BajaPits, and the heat was terrible there, over 120F easy, at around 4:30pm. We kept driving, hoping the heat would lower once the sun started going down, but the heat remained. That's when I saw the #2921 of Johnny Angal on our back; I let him pass and we exchanged positions several times, until I believe he stopped for good, his race was over due to heat.
Before getting to "Borrego", while trying to move to the side to let other cars pass (I was worried of being hit from behind by a larger class car; the San Felipe 250 race went to hell when car #1209 hit us hard from behind and broke the transmission), I hit big black rock really hard and my steering wheel was shifted 90 degrees to the left. I immediately knew something was wrong with the front end. We got to our pit crew after Borrego and found out the wheel was bent but somehow the tire was still good. We changed the wheel and tire, and kept going.
The San Felipe whoops were brutal, I asked Pancho to get out of the car and add 5 clicks to the rear shocks and 3 clicks to the front. We were running very smooth after that. We got out of the San Felipe loop and when we entered the Dry Lake, it was extremly foggy, it almost felt like a light rain. I could not see shit! That's where the controversial Virtual Check Point (VCP) was. We drove around it back and forth, trying to hit it, and on my GPS it showed that we hit it, and on Pancho's (which had more zoom) it showed that we were on the side of it, very very close. This was the VCP in discussion regarding the final positioning before the awards ceremony. It wasn't like we deliberated skipped it, we really tried hard to hit it and thought we did. The tracking system is not that accurate at all. W then kept driving to San Matias and the Mike's Sky Ranch loop. That's when we confirmed with our chase crew that there was only 1 car relatively close to us, 40-50 miles behind, #1954 of Kristen Matlock. I did the math, and with around 120 miles to go, if we could keep a safe pace and not break she wouldn't be able to catch us.
At around RM440, we saw a car barely holding off a large cliff. The 4 car tires were off the track and hanging onto the cliff, I think trees saved it from going 100+ feet down. It was the #2905 of Marc Burnett. His copilot Fernando Flores came running to us to stop, with a sat phone in his hand. Marc came to me, and told me his car died on him and he had no control and went strait towards the cliff. He asked me if I could pull him off the cliff, but I was so worried that if we strapped both cars to each other and his car fell off that his car would drag mine with him to the bottom of the cliff. But if we didn't help him his car could roll off of the cliff. In fact, there was a class 16 car that passed less than a minute in front of them, and obviously did not stop. Who would, under those circumstances in the hardest rocky part of that mountain? So, we strapped both cars, and I tried to pull him out. We were supposed to do it at the same time, and Pancho was on the outside of Marc's UTV to make add weight against the cliff. Marc accelerated and I heard yells to move forward, I had the car in LOW, as we did not have 4WD. I pressed the gas smoothly and felt the strap pulling my car backwards, but somehow, both cars made it safe back onto the race course. After some long breaths, we unstrapped the cars, said goodbye, and kept moving. It should be noted that we DID NOT get CREDIT for the time lost while helping Marc.
We made it to the Ojos Negros valley and told our chase crew to wait 30 minutes and let us know if any other cars would pass by. But no UTVs would pass that point while they waited. When we got to RM465, it was foggy rain, I could see nothing. We drove slow, and the fog went away by the time we hit the Ensenada paved streets. It was wet and muddy there but we made it out of there carefully.
We got to the finish line and were told that we won, we were the top finishers in the Pro UTV class! I could not believe that we just WON the SCORE BAJA 500. By total surprise a few minutes later the #1983 of John Estrada crossed the finish line. There was no tracking on his car and we had no idea he was that close to us. If we would have known we would never have taken it that easy the last 120 miles, perhaps we wouldn't have stopped to help Marc Burnett. Just kidding. We still would have stopped to assist him, thats what you do in Baja.
It took some explaining to SCORE about the VCP situation, they checked all of the data and finally agreed that we did hit the check point. They finally made our win official!
I want to congratulate John Estrada and Justin Quinn and their whole crew for getting a new car to this Baja 500 and finishing so well. I also want to give special congratulations to Kristen Matlock; it takes more than just balls to drive and finish this year's Baja 500, and she drove it solo the whole way. Also to David Nance, his finish makes the points championship very interesting this year!
I want to thank and congratulate my chase crew. We are a small family team. We prep this #1949 Summers Alba Glazzkraft Racing Car by ourselves. We won this Baja 500 on a day that we barely made it to the start line with almost no sleep. It requires guts from every member of this team to pull this victory through.
I also would like to thank to all other sponsors, without your support, we couldn't make it this far:
Simpson Racing
Streamline Brakes
KW Works
Muck Daddy
Method Wheels
Optima Batteries
We will have a great race video in the coming days. We will keep you all posted and will see you all at Vegas to Reno!

Faculty 8: Meta-Map
"I want freedom for the full expression of my personality." - Mahatma Gandhi
Throat Chakra
On the move again, cross connect to the jaw's hinges... (F8)
How would it feel to express pure inspiration?
Put your neck on the line and a lot's at stake. This slender bridge between the head and the heart houses many key players for the nervous, digestive, respiratory, lymphatic and endocrine systems. We bring immediate attention to the throat, wind pipe and voice box every time we nod yes, shake head no or look from one side to the next. This may be one reason why the neck is considered to be a seat of expression.
In times of stress, indecision, excessive rigidity or craving-- those times when holding back words and tears becomes a way of life, the jaw guards the neck under lock and key. To liberate these binds means to release stuck emotions.
Begin by feeling the jaw soften, which, in turn, lengthens the neck -- creating more space for the flow of creative energy between the head and heart. Chart a path from the outermost edges of the acromium processes to the opposite hinges of the jaw. Align the midpoint of this X with the intervertebral body of Axis (C2) and focus breath there.
Inhale and emanate (pull) sky blue (cool) energy from the mid point outbound to the 4 endpoints of the X. Exhale, and retrace (push) the lines back to the midpoint with a sense of relief and purification. 8 breaths.
Like Mood Lighting, the meta-map stimulates energetic connections in our intrinsic environment to MELT undue tension in the extrinsic counterparts:
M.arker Point: Hinges of the Jaw, C1 & C2
E.nergy Connection: Throat Chakra, Vissudha Chakra
L.ines: Cross connect the acromium processes to opposite hinges of jaw. Find the Throat Chakra at the mid point of this X and align it with the intervertebral disc between C1 & C2.
T.hemes: Creativity, Expression, Honesty, Stuck words, Choaking back tears, Bridge between the Mind & the Heart, Truth, Purification Center, Guilt, Shame, Risk
Sound: Ham | Color: Sky Blue | 16 Petals

Yesterday was the last day of the Flats & Handwashing Challenge, and I (barely) Survived Flats and Hand washing.
I've attempted to write this post several times, and each time I have been unhappy with the words I've typed on my iPhone screen. I'm not sure what's causing this mental block, but thinking of my overall experience is proving to be an incredibly daunting task.
Yesterday I was feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and distracted. Maybe it was the challenge. Maybe it was my cranky child. Maybe it was traveling.
I feel like I just barely survived flats and hand washing. I cheated on the last day. I ran out of dry diapers and I hated ironing diapers – I ransacked my stack of clean AIO from my suitcase.
My overall experience
I'm relieved to be finished and esctatic to be washing diapers in the machine. I'm a spoiled princess mom and In finishing this challenge I feel humbled, but not enough. I still have more learn, and more to feel grateful for.
I'll be back next year and maybe try a different approach. I need to take some time and read all the other blogger experiences and learn, and improve and create better strategies. I need to follow up with all the other parents in my online cloth diaper community and learn from them and their experiences.
Some Q&A
I asked around on social media for some questions from friends and family about this challenge… This might be an easy way to degress and maybe in a week I'll be back to think and reflect even more.
Will I change any of my diapering ways after the challenge?
Easy answer is No. I'm anxiously returning to my spoiled princess mom cloth diaper stash. I much prefer my AIO and I much prefer using (and recommending) pre folds.
HOWEVER, I will change the way I diaper on holidays and I will be more keen to travel with flats and covers than previously. I'm going to try to go camping this summer and perhaps a camp washer will be in my future. I'll definitely be bring my flats.
Was it as hard as I expected?
Yes and No? I think it's exactly what I expected it would be. Many of the challenges I felt I faces where ones I expected to experience. The actual process of washing is easy, but getting down a rhythm is tough and learning how much detergent and how to wash and how long to dry. That's challenging.
What challenges did I face?
- On the last day my diapers didn't dry on time. Reviving blankets and covers take forever to dry im humid Vancouver.
- Finding time to wash was sometimes a challenge. I need it just make it a priority because washing a few diapers at once isn't time consuming.
- Everything smelling like pee – especially covers that were being reused.
- Mastering nights, but I'm glad I found an answer to that before the challenge.
- Discovering a wash routine that works.
Would I recommend Flats?
In a heartbeat. I'm amazed at the absorbency and affordability of Flats.
Would I recommend Handwashing?
Maybe not… It's practical if you need it and I'm sure if you looked at other options such as hand washers it would be awesome. But from my personal experience, maybe not. Ask me next year?
What will I change for next year?
- wash every night ( so lots of time to dry and washing smaller loads)
- more flats and/or FST (dry faster than recieving blankets and in case I run low!)
- build a contraption or get a plunger (a must)
- master my wash routine (maybe a different detergent, maybe more consistency, maybe who knows)
That's all for now. Anything else you want to know? I'll be updating my old posts with reflections in the next month

So it looks like I'll be doing a demo at the Robot Pencil booth at CTN this Saturday. I'm thinking I'll use this sketch I prepared that I drew at AJ's Heaven's Hell launch party on Saturday night.

Aaron Rodgers recently broke up with Olivia Munn and is single once again. The rumors flying were that Aaron didn't get along with his family because of her. When his brother Jordan Rodgers was on "The Bachelorette," Aaron didn't have anything to do with the show, and the fact that they don't talk came to light. Now, rumors are flying that instead of going back to Olivia, Aaron might have a new woman in his life. Olivia had allegedly held out hope that they would work things out eventually.
Aaron Rodgers' new girl
Aaron was seen out with Kelly Rohrbach on a date, and the two looked like they were having a really good time together.
They were allegedly holding hands and acting very flirty with each other. There are pictures of these two together, and so far they aren't sharing what is going on with them. Aaron is normally very secretive about his relationship and family, so the fact that he isn't talking doesn't surprise anyone.
They went golfing together, and it looked like a fun date for the two. It sounds like they had a good time, but it isn't like these two have been spotted out together several times. If they are dating, then they are in the very early stages of their relationship.
So far, Olivia Munn and Aaron Rodgers are being quiet about their split, but an insider did share a bit. The insider said, "She is pretty heart broken, and she's blaming herself for the split.
Olivia's hoping they may be able to work things out." Aaron is allegedly the one who called it off between them. As of right now, it doesn't look like they are going to end up working it out.
Fans of "The Bachelorette" are hopeful that now that Aaron isn't with Olivia he can find a way to work things out with his family. So far, if they are starting to talk again and work it out then they aren't sharing about it, but the fans are waiting and hoping that it happened.
Jordan Rodgers is living in Texas with his fiance JoJo Fletcher. They are getting great, but if Jordan could work things out with his brother, that obviously would be great for them. He has talked about it a bit, but Aaron refuses to talk to the press about what is going on with his family and why they don't speak to each other.
What do you think of the idea of Aaron Rodgers with "Baywatch" star Kelly Rohrbach? Do you think that they make a cute couple? Sound off in the comments section below on your thoughts. If Aaron and Jordan work things out, hopefully, someone will share the news soon.

Swiss Re have announced that they are to partner with Oxfam America and the World Food Programme as a founding sponsor and provider of re/insurance to the R4 initiative. The initiative aims to help poor rural communities protect their crops and livelihoods from the risks of climate change.
The R4 initiative is seeking to address the need of farmers who face climate risks by promoting a framework which integrates physical disaster reduction methods with innovative and affordable weather risk transfer solutions.
"Insurance is an important component of an effective local climate adaptation strategy," said Thomas Wellauer, Swiss Re's COO. "It not only protects the livelihoods of poor households when harvests fail, but also facilitates farmers' access to credit and risk transfer solutions."
R4 seeks to address four key risks which face farmers in developing countries; community risk reduction, productive risk taking, risk transfer and risk reserves. Swiss Re are the only commercial reinsurer on the advisory board and as a result will take the lead in developing innovative risk transfer solutions.
The R4 initiative offers a insurance-for-work policy which allows farmers to take out weather-index insurance and pay for their premiums with labour instead of cash. The participants will work on forestry and irrigation projects which are designed to reduce climate impacts on their village and community.
"Making vulnerable communities more resilient to shocks and more food secure is a central objective of WFP in its global fight against hunger and malnutrition," said WFP Climate Change Coordinator, Carlo Scaramella. "Through R4, WFP's proven food and cash-for-work programmes will help poor people seize new opportunities to diversify and enhance their income and food security. Insurance can help the most vulnerable better manage risks."
The initiative will start operating in Ethiopia first in November 2011 and then expand into three other countries for an initial period of five years.

Elizabeth Poett was born and raised on Rancho San Julian, her family's 14,000-acre cattle ranch on California's Central Coast. She grew up climbing trees in a tutu and cowboy boots, gathering cows, and helping her mother cook and host events.
In 2007, after college in Ohio and a stint in Greenwich Village, Elizabeth Poett moved back to the ranch and started Rancho San Julian Beef, selling her family's ranch-raised beef directly to chefs and consumers. Elizabeth spends her days looking after cattle and the sheep, chickens, and turkeys that she raises seasonally, as well as cooking (and canning and pickling) with all of the delicious and varied ingredients the ranch and California's Central Coast, have to offer. Check out the meal plan for The Ranch Table Box here.
The ranch, graced by California live oak, also grows a variety of vegetables, grapes, and lavender. Its tradition of environmental stewardship extends to solar power with a watering system designed to protect its many creeks and arroyos. Faced with the severe challenges of periodic droughts, Elizabeth Poett, who was born and raised on the ranch, has worked with her family to maintain the ranch's sustainable farming practices by bringing on biodynamic guru Chris Thompson. The crops, cultivated with minimal water, are absolutely beautiful – a testament to the love and care that has gone into growing them.
This week, we're delighted to offer some of Elizabeth's favorite beef dishes, along with a special honey from her bees.

Amidst the multiplying self-contradictions caused by the incompatibility of our perceptions of reality and reality itself, crises on every level (economic, geopolitical, spiritual) are becoming too ugly and painful to ignore anymore. Some of the most pressing questions now being raised by thinking citizens watching the unravelling of their worlds include:
Why are so many highly educated people willing to give up their innate power to think in order to have shadowy experts tell them what is true and how to behave?
Why are so many of our fellow citizens so willing to give up their rights and freedoms to protect themselves from invisible threats like viruses with a 99.9% survival rate or changing climate which used to be called "the weather" having little to do with human activity?
Why are so many people incapable, and unwilling to accept the idea of conspiracy, or intention as an efficient, existent phenomenon in world affairs when such things as "Great Reset" are being spoken allowed by misanthropic billionaires on a daily basis?
If these questions seem perplexing, then don't feel bad. Our entire civilization has been living under a paradigm that has been designed to compartmentalize human knowledge for many generations (reserving the right to think top down to a small ruling body of social engineers and managers under very specific conditions and constraints).
In this discussion between the Canadian Patriot Review's Matthew Ehret and members of SOTT's Mind Matters program, the unifying principle of universal history is explored from various angles as we zero in on the question: what, why and even where is MIND and how do ideas about ideas about mankind and the Creator shape humanity's historic struggle for freedom?
Matthew Ehret is the Editor-in-Chief of the Canadian Patriot Review , Senior Fellow at the American University in Moscow, BRI Expert on Tactical talk, and has authored 3 volumes of 'Untold History of Canada' book series. In 2019 he co-founded the Montreal-based Rising Tide Foundation. He can be reached at email@example.com

The scope of work for this project included the Site Clean Up & Asbestos Abatement, followed by the Complete Demolition and Site Restoration of the Contaminated Site
Project Background and Details:
The land parcel comprising the Site is rectangular in shape and occupies an area of approximately 2.6 hectares. The northern portion of the Site contained the 296,000 square foot former Grace Hospital building. The main hospital building was a seven-storey reinforced concrete structure and adjacent to the northern end of the main building was the Brett Building, a four-storey structure. Ancillary structures included a former Boiler House and smokestack, a carpentry shop, a kitchen, a laundry facility, and a medical gas storage area. Asphalt-paved parking areas formerly occupied the southern portion of the Site.
Once the Hospital closed, it was purchased by a private company with the intention of renovating the structure and repurposing the facility. For various unknown reasons, the owner began the work on the structure, but halted the process and pulled offsite, completing about half of the interior removals.
The Ministry of Environment and the Ministry of Labour had stepped in and issued orders against the property in an effort to force the clean up the site and make it safe. The City of Windsor also stepped in and expropriated the site. Once they had possession of the site, they immediately sought to Pre Qualify Experienced and Capable Contractors to undertake the enormous task of cleaning up the site. The City selected 6 Contractors that had the qualifications to complete this work, Budget Environmental Disposal being among the six Prequalified Contractors.
After successfully tendering the work, the Budget Demolition team began immediately to rectify and satisfy the MOE & MOL orders that were still outstanding on the site. A meeting was arranged with all of the inspectors from the various agency as well as the City of Windsor and their Contract Managers, Conestoga Rovers.
Prior to starting any asbestos abatement or demolition work onsite, a detailed Site Specific Health and Safety Plan(HASP) had to be prepared by our Project Team. This HASP outlined the strategy for the safe decontamination of each area of the facility, a dust control plan for the site, a detailed demolition plan and a demolition procedure prepared by our engineer, it also included the MSDS's for the site, the AST removal plan, the Utility Decommissioning Plan for the site, The PCB and Mercury Removal Plan, the Chemical Sweep Plan, the Lead abatement procedures, and any other plans that were to be implemented on the site for the project. As the work progressed, other procedures and work plans were submitted, such as the site restoration plan.
Project Challenges:
Due to the condition of the site prior to Budget Environmental Disposal Inc being engaged to clean it up, the site had made major news headlines not only in Windsor but also in surrounding Cities. The local media had constant coverage of the progression of the project, from the tender opening down to the final site grading of the site. The project underwent constant public scrutiny, but, due to the professional approach of all parties involved, there was very little, if any, reason for any negative light on the project, and the overall response from the media and local residences was one of relief and satisfaction in how the project was handled and completed.
Due to the friable nature of the asbestos inside of the building and outside the building in the parking lots, there was a serious potential that once the material was disturbed that it could become airborne and pose a risk to all onsite and living in the surrounding neighborhood. One of the conditions of the work imposed by The Ministry of the Environment was for the daily monitoring of the air quality surrounding the site. To fulfill this requirement, and as part of our contract, the City of Windsor required that we engage a consultant to monitor the air quality surrounding the perimeter of the site, and if there were any issues, we had to cease work onsite immediately and rectify the issue. Because of the no risk approach that was taken from the beginning of the project, there were never any work stoppages and there were no issues with contaminating the residential neighborhood any further.
The overall height of the structures presented a challenge that was met by our 70' demolition equipped high reach excavator and our 90' demolition equipped high reach excavator. These two machines were brought in to remove the high portions of the building, and these were supported by the numerous other pieces of equipment that were onsite to process the material as it was being demolished.
In summation, the project was completed to the Level of Professional Standards that, the City of Windsor, the Contract Manager Conestoga Rovers, the Ministry of Environment and the Ministry of Labour, had set forth and had required from the successful contractor. All of the Hazardous Risks that the site had associated with it had been dealt with in a way so as to not expose anyone further, and to effectively eliminate and remove this Hazardous Asbestos Contaminated Site from the community and the families that were unfortunately affected by the negligence of the former owner.


text: ALL MUSIC GUIDE: Dinosaur Jr. were largely responsible for returning lead guitar to indie rock and, along with their peers the Pixies, they injected late-'80s alternative rock with monumental levels of pure guitar noise. As the group's career progressed, it turned into a vehicle for J Mascis' songwriting and playing, which had the ultimate result of turning Dinosaur's albums into largely similar affairs. Over time, Mascis shed his hardcore punk roots and revealed himself to be a disciple of Neil Young, crafting simple songs that were delivered at a crushing volume and spiked with shards of feedback. Consequently, Dinosaur Jr.'s '90s albums — when the group was essentially a front for Mascis — don't sound particularly revolutionary, even with their subtle sonic innovations, yet their original '80s records for SST were a different matter. On their early records, Dinosaur lurched forward, taking weird detours into free-form noise and melodic soloing before the songs are brought back into relief by Mascis' laconic whine. Dinosaur's SST records laid the foundation for alternative rock's commercial breakthrough in the early '90s, and while the band's profile was raised substantially in the wake of Nirvana's success, they never really became much bigger than highly respected cult figures.

The other day at Thomas More College I had an experience I'd never had, in my thirty-four years of teaching college students. I had stayed in the room after class, chatting with several of the students, who didn't have to get anywhere fast, because the class was over at 11:00 and Mass wouldn't begin until 11:30. One of the students, the only one in a class of twenty-five, had spent two years in a public high school, and we were talking about what kinds of literature were and were not taught there – or in almost any high school, public or private.
She told me one thing I suspected, and one thing that, in my naiveté, I had not. The thing I did not suspect was that hardly anybody read any of the novels the teachers assigned. They read bad crib notes online. No delight, I guess, in Charles Dickens. It's a little like being at Yellowstone Park, but staying in your hotel room, looking at a few pictures of the place, playing video games, watching porn, and not bothering to go outdoors. The thing I did suspect, because it confirms what I've seen all these years, is that poetry has been almost wholly abandoned.
I guess there are three reasons for that.
One is that the teachers themselves don't know poetry, because we are into the third generation of its neglect.
Another is that poetry is thought to be hard. Modern poetry is hard because modern poets indulge themselves in distortions and disruptions of language. Earlier poetry is "hard" for the same reason Dickens supposedly is: our linguistic range is narrow.
The third reason is that you can't teach the old poetry without knowing a lot about the Christian faith, and without being willing to take on their own terms ways of life that are not ours. Multiculturalism might more accurately be called multi-modernism: the same old modernism, wearying unto death, gussied up in a variety of dress. It is a yawn.
But my students like poetry, and one of them brought up the poems of Gerard Manley Hopkins. We're going to have a Poetry Night, so they were thinking about possibilities for recital. That got them going, and all at once, the three of us, without hesitation, began to recite his famous sonnet, "God's Grandeur":
The world is charged with the grandeur of God;
It will flame out, like shining from shook foil;
It gathers to a greatness, like the ooze of oil
Crushed. Why do men then now not reck His rod?
Generations have trod, have trod, have trod,
And all is seared with trade, bleared, smeared with toil,
And wears man's smudge and shares man's smell: the soil
Is bare now, nor can foot feel, being shod.
Yet for all this, nature is never spent:
There lives the dearest freshness deep down things,
And though the last lights off the black west went,
Oh, morning, at the brown brink eastward, springs,
Because the Holy Ghost over the bent
World broods with warm breast and with, ah! bright wings.
Nothing like that had happened before, in my whole career.
Mos amandi, mos cantandi: as we sing, so shall we love. If we don't sing, our love will become, or must already be, frail and thin. Singing is what the lover does, said Augustine. To know the truths of our faith, but not to sing them, is like knowing that God exists, but never to feel His presence; it is to know that we are loved, but never to feel the race of the heart.
"But we do sing at Mass," someone says. Yes and no. There are songs, but most of the congregation is silent or is murmuring, because the songs are for Mass entertainment, having been conceived in form and content after the patterns of mass entertainment.
No one remembers the words, because the poetry is bad or nonexistent, and no one remembers the melodies, because they are bad or because they never were written to be sung by an entire congregation and its full range of human voices.
If people are defined by the poetry they share – by the songs they can all sing together with maybe one or two prompts to jog the memory, then we are undefined, not a people at all, only an aggregate.
When Jesus and his disciples prayed and sang at the Last Supper, they didn't have to pick up a hymnal, good or bad. They prayed and sang from their hearts, where they had kept their people's poetry as treasure. What pearls do we possess?
I have watched young Christians go into the world like minnows into Leviathan. They go with imaginations unformed, and that is that. They may attend services on Sunday, but they are as worldly as anybody.
So I am issuing a challenge to every Catholic school and parish – a poetic challenge:
First, get rid of the lousy poetry and lousy music. Stupidity is always a vice, says Maritain. Nobody says, "It doesn't matter what movies my child watches, so long as he watches movies," or, "It doesn't matter what my husband drinks, so long as he drinks." Get rid of it. Nobody but the church performers enjoys it anyway. Replace it with real hymns. Don't think you can get those from the big presses, OCP and GIA and such, because they have mangled the texts and dragged them through the mud. Sing the poems, as they were composed.
Second, return to poetry. The time is short, and the reward immense. Fifty lines of Tennyson can be committed to memory; five hundred pages of Dickens, not so fast. Have every student in your schools learn, say, twenty poems by heart. And their elders, too, might join in – have a Poetry Night in your parish, with the stipulation that every poem be written in meter.
We are suffering from cultural dementia, muddied and dulled by the strokes of the modern. It is time, little by little, for recovery.

A Place for the SWAT-T
My dislike of the SWAT Tourniquet stems from its difficulty to self-apply one-handed. That eliminated it from the running when evaluating pocket tourniquets, but the PHLster Flatpack has made that category of tool less relevant. Now that I can easily and comfortably carry a primary tourniquet (specifically, a SOFTT-W) on-body, I've rethought what I should be carrying in my pack.
In the past I've carried a SOFTT-W as part of a small blow-out kit. The kit is in a Triple Seven Gear Micro Kit pouch, which fits easily into whatever pack I'm using. If I'm already carrying a SOFTT-W on my belt, is carrying a second one the best use of the available weight and space? The SWAT tourniquet does have a few things going for it. It works well as a tourniquet, as long as you have two hands to apply it. The width of the SWAT-T allows it to occlude blood flow at a relatively low pressure, and its elasticity can help it to compensate for muscle relaxation. It can function as part of a pressure dressing, or be used to improve an improvised splint, swathe, or sling. And it burns well.
I decided to replace the SOFTT-W in my blow-out kit with a SWAT-T. With a SOFTT-W in the PHLster Flatpack on my belt, I'm confident in my ability to quickly administer self-aid. Having the SWAT-T in my bag gives me additional options, whether I need to use it as a second tourniquet or as something else.

As many of you know a girlfriend, JoJo, and I recently made the 6 hour drive up North to participate in the 6 miles mud-run-obstacle-course, Mudderella. For anyone who's ever taken the I-5 up through California you know it's a treacherous 1,300 mile stretch of pretty much straight. Thankfully we were only driving about half of it, each way, but I highly suggest taking a co-pilot because staring at a straight road with nothing but flat land around you for hundreds of miles can take a tole on even the most caffeinated drivers.
You don't have to have children, or even a true sweet tooth, to appreciate this free attraction. Stop in to the Jelly Belly diner and grab a bite to refuel on your road trip and take in the marvelous sights such as life-like Jelly Bean portraits of famous American actors and presidents. If you're like my you'll try and guess which flavors were used in the color palette to create these masterpieces, then wonder just how many little candy beans went into 3 x 4 portrait of Ronald Reagan.

AP All-Big 12: Iowa State players and coach win top awards
Campbell, in his fifth season at Iowa State, got all 20 votes as coach of the year. Iowa State had four first-team selections for the AP All-Big 12 team, matching Oklahoma and Texas Tech for the most in league. RB — u-Breece Hall, Iowa State, 6-1, 215, So., Wichita, Kansas. G — Derek Schweiger, Iowa State, 6-3, 311, Jr., Plymouth, Wisconsin. WR — Xavier Hutchinson, Iowa State, 6-3, 207, Jr., Jacksonville, Florida.
Rattler TD pass in 4th OT sends OU past No. 22 Texas 53-45
The Oklahoma freshman threw a 25-yard scoring pass to Drake Stoops in the fourth overtime and the Sooners survived a late rally from No. It was just the second four-OT game in 25 seasons of the Big 12, joining Kansas State's 53-50 victory over Texas A&M in 2011. The Longhorns (2-2, 1-2) also left themselves little hope of playing for a Big 12 title, much less being part of the College Football Playoff conversation. "I was kind of surprised when I came out at first," said Rattler, who was tied for the Big 12 lead with four interceptions coming in. POLL IMPLICATIONSConsecutive Big 12 losses, the first for Oklahoma since 1998, sent the Sooners tumbling from No.

Falling into Place
She would be an object in motion that would stay in motion, even if it meant flattening everything in her path. One cold fall day, high school junior Liz Emerson steers her car into a tree. Why? Why did Liz Emerson decide that the world would be better off without her? Why did she give up? This haunting, nonlinear novel pieces together the short and devastating life of Meridian High's most popular junior girl. Mass, acceleration, momentum, force-Liz didn't understand it in physics, and even as her Mercedes hurtles toward the tree, she doesn't understand it now. How do we impact one another? How do our actions reverberate? What does it mean to be a friend? To love someone? To be a daughter? Or a mother? Is life truly more than cause and effect?

So we already know that a sequel to Wonder Woman is in the pipeline (here), especially since it is dominating the box office (and Rotten Tomatoes surprisingly) and we know that director Patty Jenkins has plans for Diana Prince beyond WWI (here).
But what we weren't sure about was wether or not Jenkins would be involved, but it's been revealed that Jenkins, like star Gal Gadot, has signed on for two movies.
Yes, both ladies are contracted to do at least two Wonder Woman movies. Which is, frankly, great news.
So, obviously this is no guarantee that Jenkins will return but we know we definitely want her to take Diana Prince into the next stage of her development as Wonder Woman and with rumour being that it will be set in the modern day, we really want to see her fight some of those creatures from other worlds she mentioned in Batman V Superman.
Is it just us? Let us know if you want Diana to return with Jenkins at the wheel.

Estherville, city, seat (1859) of Emmet county, northern Iowa, U.S. The city lies along the West Fork Des Moines River, 90 miles (145 km) northwest of Fort Dodge. The site was settled in 1857 shortly after the nearby Spirit Lake Massacre of settlers by the Sioux, and it was named for Esther Ridley, wife of one of the community's planners. Fort Defiance (1862), built as a protection against the Sioux, is commemorated in a state park just to the southwest. The railroad reached Estherville in 1882, spurring the town's growth. A large meteorite exploded over the area on May 10, 1879; fragments of it are displayed in several museums worldwide, the largest piece found in the collection of the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis.
The city is a trade and shipping centre with an agriculture-based economy. There is some light manufacturing, and it is the gateway from the east to the Iowa Great Lakes resort area. In addition, Okamanpedan State Park is about 15 miles (25 km) to the northeast. Estherville is the seat of Iowa Lakes Community College (1967). Inc. town, 1881; city, 1894. Pop. (2000) 6,656; (2010) 6,360.

Patellar tracking problems - help!
Agrace0488 posted a topic in InjuriesI've been dealing with patellar tracking problems for the majority of my life - my kneecaps (especially my left) seem to slide out of place all the time. While they haven't fully dislocated in a while, I'm always scared that it will happen again - and that HURTS! I've never been a runner, but I would love to start, even though running is probably the worst thing I can do with this knee issue. Does anyone have any advice to avoid this problem when starting the C25K program (apart from daily PT)? Thank you!
I'm working my way through the 10k program and I am finding that my knees hurt but not when running, it is just when moving around, I'm also finding the psoas is tight & uncomfortable. I'm increasing my yoga at the minute to help stretch me and to relieve some shin splint in the the ankles but wondered if anyone had any tips for the knees & psoas? Thanks
KaRob posted a topic in Introduce YourselfHi. A little background. I'm 48, disabled with RA, Lupus,degenerative disc disease. Several knee surgeries, 2 lower back, 1 cervical spine last September. In 2014 I lost 80# following a ketogenic woe, and have kept it off. I'm hoping my body can tolerate this, and I'm really hoping for some energy. I'm exhausted every day due to my health issues. I take care of 2 sets of aging parents, husband, grown kids when needed, it's time to take care of me! For the first time in my life. I'm an RN and taking care of everyone else is what I do! Love the support I see here. I think I'm going to need it. Sorry so long, thanks for listening!
Hi all, finally made it to the 22 minute stage which I am really pleased with, 25 tomorrow!!! In the meantime my knees really ache after today's run, my sports massage person is coming Friday so hope she can sort it out but in the meantime is there anything I can do to help it? Thanks
