Restore NY Grants awarded: $9.5M for Oswego, Jefferson and St. Lawrence Counties
Empire State Development today announced close to $9.5 million in grants for projects in Oswego, Jefferson and St. Lawrence counties as part of the third round of Restore NY grant program. Gov. David A. Paterson kicked off today's announcements in Syracuse.
"The Restore NY program is critical to our economic development, smartly leveraging private investment with State dollars so that we provide our neighbors with the resources they need to grow," said Governor David A. Paterson. "With this third round of funding, our villages, towns and cities can move forward with renewal projects that create jobs and attract businesses and consumers."
The awards in the 48th Senate District are part of the $153.6 million in Restore NY Communities Initiative, administered by Empire State Development, for 79 projects across the State to help revitalize downtowns, create jobs, and invite renewed investment.
"These grants are part of a growing effort to breathe life into our downtowns and historic buildings which includes improvements to the New York Main Street program and historic preservation tax credits passed this year," said Sen. Darrel J. Aubertine, who attended an announcement in Watertown. "It's exciting to see these important projects—in Oswego, Pulaski, Watertown, Carthage, Clayton, Cape Vincent, and Sackets Harbor—funded in this round of grant announcements, as each of these projects will pay dividends for years to come."
At the announcement in Watertown, Empire State Development Chairman and CEO designate Dennis M. Mullen announced $2.5 million in funding to revitalize the historic Woolworth Building on Public Square in the city of Watertown. The building has been abandoned for several years and is located in an Empire Zone.
"Restoring the vacant but historic Woolworth Building has been a top priority for everyone as the building will serve as an anchor for the city's downtown square," said Empire State Development Chairman and CEO designate, Dennis M. Mullen. "Projects like this one have the potential to reposition our State by spurring economic development, creating resilient communities that provide the foundations for future growth and the means to transform neighborhoods. The process was a competitive one that identified those projects that would truly serve to revitalize urban cores, leverage private investment and bring future business expansion to New York State."
The building will be rehabilitated to create a 72,850 square foot boutique hotel with 100 guest rooms on the second through sixth floors, meeting rooms, restaurant and retail spaces on the ground floor and a new pool and fitness center in the basement. A separate multi-story parking garage will be built opposite the hotel on vacant property where deteriorated structures were recently demolished by the city.
"As the cornerstone of Watertown's Public Square, restoring the Woolworth Building is a much anticipated next step in the revitalization of this city's downtown," Sen. Aubertine said. "This investment by the state, along with the funding secured to complete the square's reconstruction project and smaller projects, will help make downtown Watertown a destination once again."
Among those on hand for the event with Mr. Mullen and Sen. Aubertine were developer Mike Treanor, Assemblywoman Addie J. Russell, Mayor Jeffrey E. Graham, City Manager Mary M. Corriveau, Jefferson County Legislature Vice Chair Carolyn D. Fitzpatrick, City Council members Roxanne M. Burns, Joseph Butler and Jason R. Burto, County Legislators Jennie Adsit, James St. Croix and Phil Reed.
Restore New York funds municipally sponsored projects for the demolition, deconstruction, rehabilitation or reconstruction of vacant or obsolete structures. Restore New York was designed as a competitive process with specific criteria. Strong emphasis is placed on projects from economically distressed communities across the state with priority given to those that leverage other state or federal redevelopment, remediation or planning programs such as Brownfield Opportunity Area or Empire Zones.
In addition to the Woolworth Building in Watertown, additional projects in Oswego, Jefferson, and St. Lawrence counties receiving Restore New York III funding are detailed below:
City of Oswego: $1.6 million, to develop the Stevedore Building, a vacant warehouse located on the Erie Canal Heritage Corridor and in the Oswego Empire Zone. The developer proposes to transform the vacant warehouse space into a mixed use building, creating 33 market rate residential units and five commercial retail/office spaces in the building. Development of the Oswego Stevedore is consistent with the Oswego 2020 Vision Plan and local waterfront revitalization program addressing the need for market rate housing, job creation and economic development in Oswego's downtown waterfront district.
Village of Pulaski: $818,718, for the North Jefferson Street Revitalization Project to rehabilitate and renovate three, historically significant buildings located in the Historic District of the Village of Pulaski, along the escarpment of the Salmon River. Renovations will be made to the interior of one and the interior, exterior and site of two buildings to establish a mix of commercial and residential uses.
Village of Carthage: $579,136, for a Medical Office Complex that will consist of the construction of a 6,400 square foot two-story brick facade commercial medical office building for lease to Pediatrics and Family Primary Care Practices. The project will be constructed on vacant land in the center of downtown Carthage, adjacent to the site of a five building fire in 2001. In February 2009, two dilapidated buildings were demolished adjacent to the fire site to make room for this project. The project, which will continue efforts recommended in the 2001 Carthage/West Carthage Downtown Revitalization Plan, will result in the creation of 12 high paying jobs and generate more than 8,000 patient visits per year to downtown, which is critical to the sustainability of downtown businesses. The Carthage Area Hospital will be able to address expanded healthcare needs of the region associated with Fort Drum so that the area may remain economically competitive.
Village of Cape Vincent: $1,532,286, for the Roxy Hotel (Roxy's), built in 1894, which is literally the cornerstone of the business district in the village of Cape Vincent. Listed on the New York State Historic Register, Roxy's is a three-story brick building located at the corners of Broadway (Main) and Market Streets. The rear top two floors of the 15,000 square foot building overlook the beautiful St. Lawrence River, but are in the process of being condemned. The building is part of the downtown revitalization plan which was developed with the assistance of a 2006 New York State Strategic Planning Technical Assistance Grant. Facade renovation for the building was also included in the New York State Main Street Grant received by the Cape Vincent Improvement League and Cape Vincent LDC in 2007. The rehabilitated building will be a mixed-use facility with the majority of space dedicated to commercial use. An attached motel unit will be demolished and replaced with 4-6 apartments.
Village of Sackets: $735,000, for the Historic Madison Barracks Rehabilitation Project. This project proposes to restore an architecturally and historically significant abandoned, dilapidated vacant building that is not currently on the tax rolls. The former administration building is listed on the National Register of Historic places and is located in the community's locally targeted Madison Barracks Historic Planned Development District. The site will be rehabilitated into a hotel, requiring new infrastructure which will further stimulate development in the area.
Village of Clayton: $1,203,354, for the Riverwalk district to create new jobs through the renovation of two sites reaching from Clayton's main artery, Riverside Drive, to the St. Lawrence River. A three story mixed used building including retail, office and living space will replace the structure currently located at 419 Riverside Drive. A second building, currently underused and located at 690 Riverside Drive, will after renovations house office space and an expanded marine repair facility. Both sites are located within the Riverwalk District and will comply with the community's Comprehensive Plan, as well as its Local Waterfront Revitalization Plan.
Village of Heuvelton: $490,000, to restore the third floor of Pickens Hall, the Opera House Auditorium, which will provide performance space and rooms for the Heuvelton Historical Association's museum. This will complete the restoration of this historic jewel which serves as an anchor to the Heuvelton community.

I was charged $1175 for an early termination fee INQUIRY. I was interested in changing my credit card processing from REDSTONE Payment Solutions to another company that was offering me better rates. I inquired about what rates that REDSTONE payment Solutions could offer and they were unable to match the other companies better rates. They informed me that I would be charge an early termination fee if a left their company. I asked how much would the early termination fee would be and they said $895. I told them that I thought that termination fee amount was ridiculous and that typical early termination fees range fron $295 - $495.
In the contract, I read were it stated in bold print EARLY TERMINATION FEE $495 and in smaller print after that it said or greater. REDSTONE Payment Solutions manager said that if I wanted to cancel my contract they would have to send me a cancellation letter, listing what the early termination fee amount would be and that I would have to sign and return it to them before any cancellation could take affect. I NEVER received or signed any cancellation request letter indicating that I was going to cancel with REDSTONE Payment Solutions. When I checked my bank balance I noticed that I was over drawn by $1000 and it showed a debit from REDSTONE Payment Solutions in the amount of $1175. When I called REDSTONE Payment Solutions I was told that charge was for the early termintion fee and they thought I was wanting to cancel with them. I asked why I NEVER received any letter and that I never signed anything from them indicating my intentions to cancel /close my account. Their response was they didn't know why!
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A CREDIT CARD PROCESSING COMPANY YOU DO NOT SIGN UP WITH REDSTONE PAYMENT SOLUTIONS. They make it very easy to sign up with them and make it sound good but you WILL be locked in with them and it will be very difficult to get out from under there control.

There are at least five Korean words that are now part of the English language: soju, taekwondo, kimchee, hangul and hapkido.
The earliest Korean word spotted in the United States was "kimchi" (pronounced gimchee) in 1898. A magazine listed it as one of the world's healthiest foods, identifying it as the national dish of Korea. American GI's serving in South Korea facetiously declare that they're "in deep kimchi" when the American equivalent is to say they're in deep excrement.
The Merriam-Webster dictionary notes that the word "hangul" (meaning the Korean language) entered the English lexicon in 1946.
The third Korean word to enter the English language seems to be "taekwondo" in the late 1960s. And with the growing popularity of Bruce Lee's movies in the United Sates (yes, he was Chinese), another Korean form of martial arts joined English vocabularies in the early seventies: hapkido.
Finally, in 1978, the Korean vodka soju made its debut in an American English dictionary.
Our Korean vocabulary lesson:
- hangeul (한글)
- soju (Hangul 소주; Hanja 燒酒)
- tae kwon do (Hangul 태권도; Hanja 跆拳道)
- hap gi do (Hangul 합기도; Hanja 合氣道)
- kimchi (Hangul 김치; no Hanja because its is a native Korean word)
UPDATE: I just came across an English word with an interesting Korean origin. The hantavirus was named after the Hantan River (한탄강 / 漢灘江) in South Korea — near the place where Westerners were first infected by the virus in the 1950s.

I'm so excited for this beautiful family to finally get a peek at their images. When we originally discussed scheduling a session, location was one of the primary sticking points. What would be best for a 2-year-old and a 3-month-old? The beach? A park? In the past, on-locations photo sessions had been difficult for them. I always remind my clients that a good photographer can make any location work. For me, the goal isn't to capture a family's likeness against a beautiful backdrop — it's to capture their hearts, their love for each other and their connections. With careful attention to detail, this can be done anywhere you can find proper light. In their case, I suggested home would be most comfortable. It's often the very last place families think of for portraits, but is actually the best place for young children — especially those that are happiest in their own comfort zone. We take time for snack breaks, playtime and it's much easier to encourage interaction in a familiar environment. In the end, we shot mostly in the backyard — a small patch of grass near a golf course. It's not the location that takes center stage here — it's the family. I can see their hearts on their sleeves and almost hear the giggles. Can you?

Border Patrol Shooting Trial
Published: Monday, July 21, 2014 - 5:00am
Updated: Monday, July 21, 2014 - 5:05am
Monday a judge with the U.S. District Court of Arizona in Tucson will decide if a Border Patrol agent used excessive force when he shot a Mexican man trying to avoid capture.
On Nov. 16, 2010 Jesus Castro Romo was shot in the stomach near Nogales, Ariz. Romo is claiming excessive use of force under the Federal Tort Claims Act. That Act says the U.S. is liable for damages caused by action of a government employee and it also means the case will be decided by a judge not a jury.
Romo is asking to be repaid for pain, medicine and lost wages after the injury by former Border Patrol agent Abel Canales. In a separate case in 2012, Canales pleaded guilty to corruption charges after accepting a bribe at a border checkpoint.

In keeping with my theme of stress baking, I made S'mores cookies this week!
As I mentioned, I started baking this semester because I wanted to learn how, but also because some things are just so much awesomer home-made. I've been using cookies as a morsel-of-sweet staple to get to know baking techniques, and at this point I have a pretty solid understanding of what goes into crafting a well-made cookie. Here is the recipe I used as the basis for my S'mores cookies.
I actually get a lot of my sweet tooth recipes from Averie Cooks. She knows how to make a good cookie, that's for sure! I made a half batch of these cookies because I was trying to keep the amount of diet-breaking things in the pantry to a low. Despite the fact that Averie claims her recipe yields 26 cookies, my half-batch made 20! So either she makes HUGE confections, or mine are a bit on the small side for a standard cookie. Either way, the recipe below is how I made them…
3/8 cup (3/4 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
3/8 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/8 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (I actually used vanilla bean paste because I find that it packs more flavor than the extract)
7/8 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoons cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
pinch salt, optional and to taste
1/2 cup coarsely chopped graham crackers (I used fat free honey flavored graham crackers)
1 cup (half of a bag) semi-sweet chocolate chips (I used the mini chips)
5/8 cups miniature marshmallows
- Averie calls for a stand mixer to cream the butter, sugars, egg, and vanilla with, but I don't have this piece of equipment in my kitchen. Instead, I use an immersion blender on high. I took the first five ingredients of this recipe, mixed them together in a tall measuring cup (actually the one which came with my immersion blender), and blended for about five minutes until the mixture became light and fluffy. I would highly recommend a stand mixer if you have one; my immersion blender requires you to hold the button down for the blender to work (which is actually really annoying for periods longer than a minute or two).
- I moved my creamed ingredients from their tall measure into a mixing bowl at this point, scraping down the sides of the measure as I went. To them, I added the next four ingredients (flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and pinch of salt), and used a rubber spatula to fold them together until everything was combined.
- I crumbled the graham crackers by chopping them with my kitchen knife. Because more problems should have "kitchen knife" as a viable solution. I then folded them into the mixture along with the mini chocolate chips and marshmallows until everything looked pretty evenly combined.
- I have a cookie scoop (it's a medium scoop) and I love it. I know that my ever-patient boyfriend was strongly adverse to my bringing this single-use kitchen implement into our already-packed kitchen, but trust me; this little baby has more than made up for the space it takes. If you don't have a cookie scoop, use the old spoon and scrape method to make 2-inch balls of dough. Place dough balls on a plate (I set down parchment paper sprayed with nonstick spray for easy transfer later and covered with plastic wrap to ensure they didn't get tough in the fridge). You'll want to refrigerate them for at least two hours if not overnight before baking. Warm dough will spread in the oven while chilled dough gives you fluffy, thick cookies. DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP; trust me. I'm going to be a Doctor.
- Preheat your oven to 350F. You'll want to destickify your cookie sheet with spray, a silpat mat, or parchment paper (I tend to double-dip and use parchment sprayed with non-stick). Transfer chilled dough mounds to your baking sheet giving the cookies plenty of space to expand. Averie says you want at least 2 inches per cookie (I bake a bit closer together, but then again… I like to live dangerously). You want to bake the cookies until the tops are just golden brown (it took mine 8 minutes; though I checked them at 7 just in case). The cookies will firm as they cool, so keep that in mind when you're checking on them. Because of this, you'll want to you're your cookies rest on their baking sheets for a bit before transferring them to a cooling rack to finish the cooling process (five minutes or so should do the trick).
I'm told that cookies will last at room temperature for up to one week if stored in an airtight container. Honestly, mine never last that long. You can also freeze them for "up to 3 months", but I've not yet tested this theory.
Hope you're having a nice week!

in : Grow & eat
Picking broad beans really is a family affair in the Pasco household. The fat, swollen pods are full of promise and we eagerly pop them open to release the harvest.
Much to my wife's surprise, my two children really enjoyed their first taste of broad beans a few years ago. Was this a result of their active participation in bringing in the crop, or did they really enjoy the flavour of their first home-grown broad beans?
More hands certainly make light work of preparing beans and peas for cooking, but you have to time your picking just right. Leave broad beans for too long and you'll notice the 'scar' holding each bean in place inside the pod turns dark brown. This tells me the beans are really past their best, and will have developed tough, inedible skins.
The best beans are younger, and probably slightly smaller, with a creamy white 'scar' attached to each bean. Young beans are delicious, and can be eaten skins and all - unless you have fussy kids like mine who want each bean peeled (well, they're certainly easier to peel than grapes).
But don't despair if your beans have matured more than you would have wanted. Just cook, peel and mash the beans into a tasty puree.
Broad beans are a simple crop to grow, but you do need quite a long row of them if you're going to enjoy a reasonable harvest to feed a family. Once picking is over just cut off their tops at soil level, and leave their roots to break down in the soil.
Sow a leafy salad crop over the area, and the new crop will benefit from the release back into the soil of nitrogen captured in the bean roots by bacteria. This acts like a natural fertiliser created by nitrogen-fixing bacteria in the nodules of bean roots (and other members of the legume family).
It's too late to sow more broad beans now, but dwarf French beans and even runner beans develop quickly over summer to produce a welcome crop later in autumn.

I must have a go at growing them next year. Can some be sown in the autumn to produce earlier crops?

Growing Broad Beans in my garden is slightly traumatic as the resident Jackdaws will pull up the young seedlings and eat the seed bean, and when the crop is almost ready, they descend in droves and strip the pods of their contents. This year however, a fruit cage has done the trick, still black fly and the lack of water this year to contend with. The end product though, is absolutely marvellous, and the added bonus is nobody else in the family likes them, so they are all mine!!

I've just pulled my first row of beans from the ground, the roots have a covering of nodules, white in colour, crinkly balls, anyone know if these will be OK to compost or do dispose of them??

Reply to kparry: Well spotted. These are the nodules produced on roots containing nitrogen fixing bacteria. These are really beneficial, and so roots can either be left in the soil or added to the compost heap. They'll release nitrogen as they decompose, and this is a useful nutrient that following crops will be able to take up.

This presentation explores the evolution and trajectory of ubiquitous computing technologies that enable designers to embed media artifacts and computational systems in physical space. By placing custom bar code glyphs, GPS/Google Earth markers, sensor systems or other smart-phone-readable triggers in physical locations, designers can create hyperlinks connecting real-world objects or places with a wide variety of media — from video, audio and text content to dynamic data feeds and opportunities for interactions with both human and non-human agencies. Crucially, however, this layering practice does not stop at the level of the hyperlink or the traditional notion of Augmented Reality. Rather, designers are beginning to perceive opportunities for embedding responsive computational power in physical space, enabling environments to track, profile and communicate with their inhabitants, providing customized, adaptive and anticipatory user experiences.

MANILA—The Department of Justice (DOJ) ordered the issuance of an immigration lookout bulletin order (ILBO) against David Go Lim Jr., the primary suspect in a road rage shooting incident in Cebu.
In a memorandum dated March 20, DOJ Secretary Vitaliano Aguirre II ordered Immigration Commissioner Jaime Morente to instruct all immigration officers in the country's airports and seaports to be on the lookout to prevent attempts of the latter to leave the country.
Aguirre signed an ILBO against Lim upon the request of Special Assistant to the President for the Visayas Michael Dino.
Lim was tagged by the victim Ephraim Montalbo Nunal as the primary suspect in a shooting incident arising from a traffic altercation along F. Sotto., Brgy. Kamputhaw, Cebu City last March 19.
"We issued the ILBO to curtail any efforts on the part of Mr. David Go Lim Jr., or those trying to protect him, to evade any responsibility from the shooting incident. If he committed the act attributed to him by the victim, then he should squarely face the charges against him," Aguirre said in statement.
Aside from the Bureau of Immigration, a copy of the order was furnished to the Philippine National Police (PNP). It directs the BI to coordinate with the PNP particularly in Cebu to obtain additional information about the subject of this order in order to facilitate its enforcement.
An ILBO is different from a court-issued hold departure order (HDO) since the former only directs the BI to be on the lookout for the subject and to verify the status of a case against the subject person and not to restrict an individual from leaving the country.
But a person subject to the ILBO should seek an Allow Departure Order (ADO) from the DOJ chief to be allowed to leave.
In a statement, the Supreme Court (SC) said there is no arrest order released against Lim as there are no charges filed against him.
"As per information of the Executive Judge (EJ) Gilbert Moises of the Regional Trial Court of Cebu City, no court has issued a warrant of arrest against Mr. (David Go) Lim because there is no case filed before the courts. Neither has there been an application for a search warrant filed. As per the EJ, the office of the Mayor bas not contacted any of the judges regarding this matter," the SC said.

Leaders gather to discuss spiralling global economy
Billionaire investor George Soros compared the global economy to a car spinning out of control, as business leaders and politicians met for the 42nd World Economic Forum.
The five-day forum gathered at the Swiss mountain resort of Davos is underway against a backdrop of a festering eurozone debt crisis, stubbornly high unemployment, and resentment over inequality in parts of the global economy.
For the past 40 years, the annual get-together of political leaders and the business elite at the World Economic Forum has had plenty to celebrate, because, traditionally, capitalism delivered the goods.
But the latest gathering at Davos in the Swiss Alps is now looking at the ascendancy of state capitalism - the Chinese model - and wondering where they went wrong.
Mr Soros has warned that the austerity measures Germany wants to impose will lead Europe into a deflationary debt spiral.
"You first have to turn the steering wheel in the direction of the skid and only after you have regained control can you correct the direction," he said.
"In this case, you must first impose strict fiscal discipline on the deficit countries and encourage structural reforms, but then you must find some stimulus to get you out of the deflationary spiral."
German chancellor Angela Merkel opened the conference with an address to the forum's 2,600 participants.
"Let me tell you, I know that [Europe is] labelled the big economic headache of the global economy but I think if one is honest, we will probably not, we're probably not the only headache that the global economy has," she said.
"Structural reforms that lead to new jobs are essential. I'm deeply convinced of this.
"Look at the different examples we've seen in Europe that have already undergone those reforms - Sweden for example."
Discipline is high on Ms Merkel's agenda - she wants a constitutional and legal cap on debt.
She also admits eurozone countries have long flouted rules limiting their debt to 3 per cent of their GDP.
"We would probably have not had to acknowledge that there are these weaknesses at some point in time but now we really have to do something about this, because now we have a very clear erosion of confidence."
Bangladeshi Nobel Peace Prize winner economist Muhammad Yunus says he hopes eurozone crisis and Angela Merkel's plans do not dominate the entire forum.
"[Merkel] has to again look at the future, the vision for the future, what kind of future we want to build," he said.
The general secretary of the International Trade Union Confederation, Australia's Sharan Burrow, will be discussing widening wealth gaps.
"When you have the greatest inequity since just before the 30s depression, this is actually bad news for capitalism because their prescriptions are actually eating themselves up potentially," she said.
Away from the headline-grabbing speeches, the real wheeling and dealing will be conducted in the corridors and meeting rooms of the Davos Congress Centre, and at the sideline events of dinners and parties.

Philadelphia Flyers
1:00 p.m., Wells Fargo Center, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
I am going to be working much of the day and was working late last night so this will be a pretty bare bones preview. There will also probably be no post game. Sorry for those three people that actually read them.
I am kinda upset that I won't get to see the whole game. I will only be able to watch the first period before I have to head out but I guess that is better than nothing. This is a pretty big game as it will swing some points as the Flyers are neck and neck for the second spot in the Atlantic. The Penguins have also dropped both games to the Flyers this season so a win in the garbage dump that is the Wells Fargo Center would be huge.
Bit pick me up today is that Arron Asham will be back in the lineup and skating on the third line after missing a ton of time with a concussion. It will be nice to have his grit back in the lineup and I am sure he will be pretty amped up to play against his former team.
Speaking about players playing against former teams Max Talbot and Jaromir Jagr will be playing against the Penguins. I think most of you know how I feel about Jagr and I still have love for Max Talbot. Honestly it is so much fun to watch Jagr play even if he is in a Flyers jersey.
The Flyers have been struggling lately going 4-4-3 in thier last 11 games so this might be a good time to go in there and scores a few goals. While Sergei Bobrovsky doesn't have great overall numbers this year he plays very well against the Penguins. Last year in five games played against the Penguins "Bob" posted a 2.17 GAA with a .926 save percentage and this year he has a 2.00 GAA with a .923 save percentage which are both better than his career averages of 2.67/.911.
Season series (Philadelphis leads 2-0):
December 8, 2011 - Philadelphia 3, Pittsburgh 2
No idea where the video highlights are for this.
December 29, 2011 - Philadelphia 4, Pittsburgh 2
The Penguins probables (via Seth at Empty Netters):
Chris Kunitz - Evgeni Malkin - James Neal
Steve Sullivan - Jordan Staal - Pascal Dupuis
Matt Cooke - Dustin Jeffrey - Arron Asham
Craig Adams - Joe Vitale - Richard Park
Brooks Orpik - Kris Letang
Matt Niskanen - Zbynek Michalek
Deryk Engelland - Paul Martin
Marc Andre Fleury
The Flyers probables:

The moisture barrier is required by code to be outside the studs under brick veneer with a 1-4-1/2" max. gap to the sheathing OR the mortar or grout fill over a weather-resistant membrane... IRC 703.7.4.2
Water resistant membrane not required if sheathing is water repellent... 703.7.4.2
This would be the foil covered foam sheathing you removed. Now you have nothing to prevent moisture from getting to the edges of your studs, and nothing to hold the wall in rack from the shear forces. (Wind, earthquake, etc.)
The ties are required on brick veneer every 24" max. horizontal spacing..... IRC 703.7.4.1
I would try to install builder's paper (in strips, overlapping by 2") on the studs and install
the foam board in the bays -if needed there is a 6.5R factor for 2x4 walls:
Dow at Lowe's: 1" x 8' x 4' R-6.5 Polyisocyanurate Rigid Foam Insulation
And a Simpson strap
to prevent racking:
WB/WBC/TWB/RCWB Wall Bracing
Be safe, Gary

What exactly is the purpose of having a moisture barrier outside of the studs?
Is it to prevent moisture from getting into the wooden stud wall system?
If so, they why couldn't he compensate for the potential rotting of the bottom plate on his wall by putting borate rods (Impel or Cobra rods) into his bottom plate to prevent wood rot of that bottom plate, and just let the outside surface of the wall studs get wet the occasional time that there's a hurricane in Detroit?
I know that's not what the code says, but wouldn't that protect the wall system from moisture? After all, if moisture is going to penetrate the brickwork, almost all of that moisture is going to dribble down the inside surface of the brick veneer. It's not going to jump from the brick veneer onto the insulation in anything less than a hurricane force wind, and in this case, if Gopher has extruded foam insulation between his studs, that water is gonna drip off the insulation and just get the wood studs wet for a day or two until they dry. In that case, the only concern is the bottom plate of the exterior wall which may get wet from water penetration through the brickwork.
PRG, Inc. - Impel Rods
Borate rods (either Impel or Cobra rods) are a borate compound that dissolves in water. Borate rods are preferred by owners of log homes because borates are highly soluble in water, and so borates are the ONLY wood preservative that will diffuse through the entire cross section of a log to protect it from wood rot. Telephone utilities use both Impel and Cobra rods to protect telephone poles from rotting in the ground, and it's because the borates migrate through the entire cross section of the pole. The wetter the wood, the faster the borates dissolve and diffuse. Unless the wood is wet, the borates don't dissolve and don't diffuse.
I have 6 borate rods in each of many of the wooden window frames of my apartment block. If those window frames ever get wet to the point where they might rot, the borate rods begin to dissolve and the borates diffuse throughout the wood killing mildew and mold, including the wood rot fungus.
Borate wood preservatives are much more popular in Europe. They're not common here in North America because we tend to go with either pressure treated lumber of copper and zinc naphthalene end cut preservatives here. The beauty of borates is that they they remain unaffected until the wood gets wet, and then they dissolve and disperse throughout the wood to protect it from wood rot (and other fungi). Also, borates are the only wood preservative that's environmentally friendly. They are highly toxic to fungi and molds, but mammals like people and pets can just about eat borates without getting sick. Your typical borax used for doing laundry contains borates similar to those used in Impel rods and Boracol wood preservatives, and we wash our clothes in that stuff and wear those clothes all day with no health effects whatsoever. Also, although everyone calls them "Impel" rods, the liquid equivalent goes by many different names, depending on who's selling it. It can be called Borocol, Boratreat, Bora-Care, etc. It's all the same stuff being sold under different names.
PRG, Inc. - Impel Rods
Borates, Impel Rods, Cobra Rods, for natural pest control and rot protection in Log, Timber and Wood homes
Impel Borate Rods - Log Preservatives
But, what to do depends entirely on WHY your local building code requires a moisture barrier between the brick veneer and the wood stud wall. Hopefully GBR would know if that's because of water penetration into the wall system or not. If it is, then water will drip down your wall studs, but you may need to do something to protect the bottom plate of your wall.
The borate rods (Impel rods) you might find online are huge, often 3/4 inch in diameter by 4 inches long. Those are meant for logs in log homes and telephone poles. In my window frames I have 6 millimeter diameter by 60 millimeter (1/4 inch diameter by 2 3/8 inch long) Impel rods in 5/16 inch diameter holes, and I'd suggest those would be more than adequate for the bottom plates on your exterior walls.
What I'd suggest is that you finish your wall normally, and then drill through the baseboard into the bottom plate and insert an Impel rod in each hole. The hole has to be slightly larger in diameter than the rod to allow for the swelling of the rod that occurs as the Borate rod absorbs moisture and gets to the point of dissolving in the moisture in the wood. The depth of the hole is irrelevant. But, once a borate rod starts to swell, you cannot remove it from the hole it's in. Not easily anyhow.
I'm thinking that protecting the wood in your wall from rotting may be the second best alternative to preventing it from getting wet in the first place.

Clearly, the thing you gotta do is find out exactly why your local building code requires a moisture barrier on the EXTERIOR of the wood studs. If it's simply to prevent water that drips through gaps in the mortar from getting onto the exterior of the wall, then I'd:
Open up gaps in the brick mortar right at the bottom of the wall and as high up on that wall as you can. A hole every 4 feet or so would be sufficient, and if possible it would be best to have the holes angled downward so that rain water drains outward rather than into your wall. The idea here is to mimic attic ventilation to dry the wall in winter; kinda like attic ventilation applied to walls. Air between the stud wall and the brickwork will be heated by heat loss from the house and will rise in the gap between the stud wall and brick veneer to escape through the holes near the top of the wall. That will draw cold dry outdoor air into that same space. And, as it warms from heat loss through the insulation, it too will warm and absorb any moisture present and carry it to the outside through the top holes as well. This heat loss driven convective current will continue 24/7 all winter long, keeping your wall dry. Putting the holes through the vertical brick mortar joints at a downward angle will allow air convection through the wall, but will prevent rain penetration through it.
The second thing I'd do is finish your wall normally with baseboards, etc. And, drill through the baseboards with a 1/4 inch drill and slide in some 6 millimeter diameter Borate rods. If the bottom plate of your wall ever gets wet enough that there is a risk of wood rot, the borate rods will dissolve and disperse throughout the wood, killing any mold or fungus that might feed on that wood. You can buy small plastic caps to fill those holes from any place that sells O-rings. That's because most places that sell O-rings also rebuild pneumatic and hydraulic valves, and once the valve is rebuilt, they put plastic caps in all the ports to prevent dirt from getting into the valve. You can use those same caps to plug the holes in your baseboards. You want to drill the hole deep enough so that the 60 mm (2 1/2 inch long) borate rod is centered in the bottom plate of the wall, preferably between studs so that your drill bit doesn't hit any nails.
But, the immediate order of business is to find out what's behind the requirement to have a moisture barrier on the exterior of that inner wood stud wall.

[QUOTE=Nestor_Kelebay;34860]What exactly is the purpose of having a moisture barrier outside of the studs?

************************************************** ******
Yes, a MOISTURE barrier is needed on the exterior side of the studs to protect the studs and also any insulation. A moisture barrier breathes.
A VAPOR barrier is needed towards the room side of any heated exterior walls(between the drywall and the studs) . A vapor barrier, usually a 6 mil poly sheeting will not breathe.
Now go back to whatever you were doing before getting involved in building practices that you seem to know not too much about.

hey! this is a noce story, and it's very funny, but i'd appreciate it of you take better care of your spelling. Its 'enough', not 'enogh', and its
'Julian' not 'Julien', and its 'Rudolf' not 'Rodolf. there are many, many other spelling mistakes on your story.
your content is good but you seem to have a few holes. like for example, if Louis and Rudolf were so afraid of Julan, how come Firen has the audacity to call him 'pineapple head?"
Dont worry, these mistakes can be improved and if you continue to try, you will soon become a good writer. After all, you have a good storyline.

Too Stanley Kowalski for our own good
Updated 2:50 pm, Friday, August 1, 2014
SAN ANTONIO — Looking back on the Streetcar named Undesirable Drama, one thing is clear:
San Antonio, a strong city desperately in need of a new T-shirt, doesn't like to be told what to do.
In the downtown dream envisioned by former Mayor Julián Castro, a modern streetcar plan along Broadway would have been instrumental. If we built it, they might come — they being the best and brightest South Texas millennials looking for a forward-thinking, progressive place to live, work and play.
The dream dictates that a new group of downtown residents with a cosmopolitan mindset would give existing buildings and infrastructure a new energy while setting a greener, car-free pace for the hub of the Alamo City.
Have you seen what they're doing in Portland? Just think of what we could do here.
Then along comes San Antonio in its tight T-shirt, sticky and sweaty from a hard day's work, complaining about the price tag. For a few measly miles of service? Most of which would be used by hipsters with deep pockets who can afford to live downtown and dine at hotspots where a burger costs 14.5 — hold the conspicuous dollar sign?
Let's put this to a vote, scoffed the unimpressed suburban class, knowing exactly which way the vote would go. Which is why the dreamers (ahem, the planners) weren't keen on having it go to the ballot.
Cut to the part where then the anti-streetcar set got loud, calling out the whole thing as an insider deal and gladly getting behind anybody with better ideas for the money.
We're supposed to spend all that — $32 million, and that's just from the city — to get behind an impractical urban trend that only tourists will use? All this, while the rest of us wait at uncovered bus stops and navigate crumbling neighborhood streets?
What do you think you are, Queens?
Here's the thing: For better or for worse, San Antonio has grown and is projected to keep growing steadily. But our no-nonsense identity as a working-class city is not changing at the same pace, and neither are our economics.
Sure, we need a new approach to public transportation, but we aren't Portland; just wait for the VIA bus between 2 and 4 and you'll find that it's a much sweatier place.
We don't have anywhere near the affordable housing necessary to accommodate the downtown area's service industry workers. Even if we did, where would they go to buy a chicken for dinner, the Walmart on Austin Highway? Even on the bus, that's quite a haul.
We need the savvy among us to look ahead and find us that new transit T-shirt. So maybe the streetcar plan — which was never explained to the general public that well — wasn't right for us right now, but that doesn't mean we're not in desperate need of something.
More Information
We need those planners, thinkers, pushers and champions who know how to get us what we need. Yet we're so jaded about insider deals and politicians wanting to leave a legacy on our nickel that we'll shoot down any new attempts at improving our lot.
San Antonio might be more Stanley Kowalski than it should be, but that doesn't mean it's wrong to demand another plan.
We need a T-shirt that fits.

I would not throw this claim at you if it were not. Just because he was not a hard ass officer (which AGAIN officers do not act like that all the time) does not mean he was a token 60s black guy doing a black funny man impersonation. Seriously, just typing that sounds horrible given what he was really like in the film. Maybe you should rewatch it because you obviously don't have a good recollection of what happened with Rhodey's character.
This sounds racist to me, being black myself. Maybe you don't understand because you're not black (don't know if you are or not but I'm assuming you're not) but if you said any of this to any other black person and showed them how he actually acted in the film they would punch you.
You too R_Hythlodeus, especially with that gangsta pimp comparison you made.
Go ahead: call me racist one more time.
I'll let the mods sort it out.
You asked for an opinion about Howard vs. Cheadle, and I gave my take on it. EXACT same argument I made back in the IM2 discussion years ago, and there were plenty of people who agreed with my assessment, and not ONE of the people back then thought it was remotely a racist statement. In fact, if there's any racism there, it's on the part of the writers/actors/directors who gave Rhodey lines like that and made him a walking stereotype.
If you don't see that or agree with that: fine. Your opinion vs. my opinion; we're all entitled to 'em. But if you *insist* on continually hurling epithets at me and making this a PERSONAL argument instead of an objective one, I'll let you address your next comments to the mods and let them decide who's worthy of the banhammer.
I'm done with this argument.
They move like slick cotton on oil.

500 Greatest Songs of All Time
Rolling Stone's definitive list of the 500 greatest songs of all time.
32. The Rolling Stones, 'Sympathy for the Devil'
Writers: Mick Jagger, Keith Richards
Producer: Jimmy Miller
Released: Dec. '68, London
The inspiration for this hellish detour came from Soviet writer Mikhail Bulgakov's novel The Master and Margarita, which depicts Satan having his way in 1930s Moscow. Richards struggled to find the right backing for Jagger's menacing Dylan-esque lyrics, unsure "whether it should be a samba or a goddamn folk song," he recalled. The Stones ended up giving the devil one of their best grooves, built on Rocky Dijon's congas and Bill Wyman's Bo Diddley-ish maracas. "Before, when we were just innocent kids out for a good time [the media said], 'They're evil, they're evil,'" Richards said. "So that makes you start thinking about evil. . . . Everybody's Lucifer."

CLARIFICATION: An earlier version of this article was unclear about who attended a meeting with Hemet Interim City Manager Ron Bradley.
In a meeting that lasted about four minutes, the Hemet City Council unanimously approved a contract for Interim City Manager Ron Bradley on Tuesday afternoon, Dec. 18.
In the same vote, Mark Orme, interim city manger since August, was returned to his previous position as assistant city manager.
Bradley began his job immediately, heading from the council chambers across the street to City Hall.
Bradley said his first chore as boss is simple: "To meet as many of the employees as I can," he said. "Let them look at me, know what to expect from me."
He introduced himself to city workers in a meeting at the library later Tuesday. All employees except some on-duty public safety personnel were in attendance.
And it's not just employees he wants to meet.
"I will be meeting with all factions of the community," he said. "It's important I understand what their concerns are."
Bradley, 73, will be paid a maximum of $99,235 over the next six months, according to the contract. He will not receive any health or other benefits or vacation pay, but will be provided with a car.
The contract is until the end of June, and Bradley expects to work another six months beyond that date if a permanent city manger has not been found.
Orme, 40, will retain his annual salary of $180,000.
Bradley will take over a city that has struggled financially since the economy soured. Hemet's general fund revenue dropped by more than $10 million — or about one-quarter — in the past five years.
The council had to close a $1.4 million deficit to reach the current $33.8 million general fund budget, and balanced the budget only by using nearly $200,000 in reserves. And city officials say Hemet could face another shortfall of $2.5 million to $3 million next fiscal year.
The city also is considering contracting out fire service, and there have been suggestions that the viability of a city-run police department be looked at as well.
Bradley said he will look at the work done by previous consultants, including Andy Hall, whose contract was terminated in September after 15 months as public safety consultant.
"I'll go see what's been done," Bradley said. "(I will review) anything I can get my hands on."
Bradley's duties also will include finding a permanent city manager, and he has said that he hopes Orme will be selected for the job.
Council members have praised Bradley's background with economic development. He was city manager in Temecula when The Promenade mall opened. It's also expected that he will serve as a mentor to Orme, who has worked for the city for 13 years.

Happy Friday folks!
It's Week 9 already! Almost into the double digits! Cool! I cannot believe today is the last day of February! This year is already flying by! Just one more reason why I am glad I'm doing this challenge and why YOU should be doing it, too! Gotta get these life little moments down and documented before we forget!
- "I'm as long as a buffalo!" – Jack
- "So, everyone but bad people have belly buttons, right?" – Jack
- I took an eyelash off of Jack's cheek and told him to blow it and make a wish. He quickly closed his eyes and then shouted, "I so wish I was a police officer!" ;)
- Caylin just asked me, "Wouldn't it be cool if I made a note for God and wrote on it how much I love Him and put a bunch of heart stickers on it and He took it?! That would be so cool, wouldn't it?!" Guess what she's doing right now? I love her heart and her love for God.
- Jack didn't want to eat any carrots so I told him to pretend he was Bugs Bunny and sure enough – that worked and he proceeded to have a conversation with me for the next 30 minutes as Bugs. I was, of course, Daffy Duck. ;)
That's what I've got for this week! I hope you all have a wonderful Friday and weekend ahead! Hugs and blessings to you!

After the toughest sports year of his administrative career, Joel Maturi wants to put the negativity behind him so he can function effectively as Gophers athletics director in the final year of his contract.
If he can't, he concedes, re-signing would be difficult, even if it turns out he and new University of Minnesota President Eric Kaler feel comfortable with each other.
With the 2011-12 school year just weeks away, Maturi talked to the Pioneer Press in an interview and follow-up communication this week about that and more, including football coach Jerry Kill, basketball coach Tubby Smith and the University of Miami scandal.
Q: If Kaler were to totally back you as (former president Robert) Bruininks did, would there be any reason for you to leave?
A: Yeah. If I don't feel I can be effective. Let's be honest. Last year was a very challenging year for lots of reasons. Lots of negative public concern about my ability to be the athletics director. If indeed that negativity would persist and therefore it's a reflection on my leadership, then I don't think I should be the AD. Because I can't be effective in that kind of environment. I care too much about the Gophers to be stubborn and so prideful that I'm not going to say, 'Heck with you, Minnesota.' That's just not Joel Maturi. I'm not going to please everybody. It's not like I'm going to take a vote. That's not what I'm saying. But I need to feel there's enough backing for my leadership by the people internally and externally for me to continue to be the athletics director.
Q: So, would you really not come back as AD if the negativity toward you got as bad as last year?
A: If President Kaler or I believed that the negativity would lead to me being ineffective, then I would not return as the athletic director. I don't think we're going to take a vote, though. I wouldn't want that printed, (that) if there was a lot of negativity out there, (I'd leave). Hell, there's lot of people to just get on the bandwagon to say that I shouldn't be – or some people on the bandwagon to say I should be. I don't want that to happen. That's not what this is about. It's about me believing that I can still be the leader and realizing that every decision I make, some people are going to accept and some people are not. I can't be the athletic director and be fearful of the negative response. I have to be more fearful of doing the right thing for the right reasons.
Q: Where do you think most of that negativity came from?
A: Most of the negativity toward me was from the football hiring process. Hopefully, the hiring of Jerry Kill has quelled that. If it hasn't, then obviously I have to rethink about what my future is.
Q: If you had to leave your position, what would you do?
A: Whether I would stop and don't do anything remains to be seen. My wife and I are going to continue to live in the Twin Cities area. We love it here. Whether I do something to keep busy remains to be seen.
Q: Does the football team have to finish with a certain record to squash the negativity?
A: I truly believe that we could go 0-12, and I'm not so sure people are going to say I made a bad hire. None of us expect to go 0-12. But I do think that coach Kill has done so much right that they're going to give him the chance because they still want him to succeed.
Now what might happen in a case like that is that the perception that did exist for a while under the Glen Mason era, that we don't commit to football enough, might start happening. But it's not just TCF Bank Stadium. We've done a lot, rightfully so. We've put some fuel in the engine, so let's see if it can go faster.
Q: Smith expects his extension to be done before basketball season starts in October. Do you feel the same way?
A: He's got three years left on his contract. But that doesn't mean that I don't want it done. And I keep using the same verbiage. It is in the hands of the lawyers. It's not that Tubby and I don't agree. I really believe he wants to be here. Quite frankly, say it loudly, I want him to be here. I don't think that's the issue. I'm not panicky about his contract.
Q: Are you close to finding a major donor for the basketball practice facility project? Do you need to win first?
A: I'm hopeful we can get some commitments before we play a basketball game. We're working hard at that. The fact of the matter is, we need to find individuals and companies that want to commit to the University of Minnesota men's and women's basketball programs. Hopefully, we'll be talking to people who aren't measuring us on winning this year, last year or next year. This is a long-term investment for this program, and every team in the Big Ten has one except for (Minnesota and Northwestern). It's just a reality of big-time college basketball today, and we're behind the eight ball. You talk about a lack of commitment. Tubby's at a disadvantage. I know people don't like to hear that, but he is. As is (women's basketball coach) Pam (Borton). We need to find the person or persons who has the ability to assist us to get there who sees that big picture. Give it to us because we need it so that we might win next year.
Q: Can you imagine what Miami's AD is going through right now after the Yahoo Sports report came out on all of those athletes receiving improper benefits? Does it make you take a closer look at your program?
A: (Miami AD) Shawn Eichorst, I know very well. (Miami football coach) Al Golden, I know. They're not guilty of anything, but wow. You know I feel for them. (Gophers director of compliance) J.T. Bruett emailed all of the coaches (Wednesday) telling them that all of the sports that are not in season, your incoming freshmen can't go out there to (the university's building at) the State Fair. Until classes start or until they report for practice, they can't take part in any promotional activities. It's a stupid rule. We have to get rid of that stuff.
Q: How do you prevent athletes from taking extra benefits?
A: If Mr. Donor is over there and tells the waitress, 'I'm going to pay for those kids' meal,' that's not a big deal, right? So the waitress walks up to the players and says, 'That guy over there took care of your meal.' How many kids are going to say, 'Oh, no, no, no. I've got to pay for it?' I'm not saying it's right. I'm not condoning it for a minute. But I don't expect a kid to say, 'I don't have to pay for it.' It makes no sense.
We've got to tell the kid to try to say no. But we also have to do a better job of educating our donors to say: 'You're going to screw us. You might mean well for paying $25 for pizzas, but you could jeopardize this program. … The kid has got the pizza money.' … That's to me where it's got to be done better.
Q: Will paying athletes help solve the problem?
A: It won't make any difference. It's not that they need $2,000 more. They're always going to want that and want more. The kids that really are in need can get $6,000 with a Pell Grant now. That's not bad money with a full scholarship. The problem is, we want more. We've created an environment where the star athletes in the star sports are being rewarded for scoring touchdowns and scoring points. And that is the lifestyle we live. Some player has some buddy in the NFL, and that's how it happened to him. It's a spiral. We continue to look closer. I always have my biweekly meeting with J.T. going over what we do educationally, what are we doing and what are our wet spots? What do we have to be concerned about with the understanding that something could happen tomorrow? But all you can do is the best you can do. All you can do is educate and monitor. I don't know what else you can do. I'm not going to say nothing has happened under Joel Maturi's watch because it could happen tomorrow.

The optimistic folks at Business Insider assure us that the unexpectedly bad number for the US fourth quarter hides some good news:
People will be stunned to see that today's GDP report went negative for Q4… the first negative print since The Great Recession.
But the report isn't that bad. In fact it was arguably good.
For one thing, most of the collapse was due to a stunning fall in military spending. That's not good for GDP, but it doesn't reflect the real underlying strength of the economy.
And it's mostly due to war drawdown. That's a good thing for everyone!

FlexForm is the lightweight
champion of the world.
We have taken on the challenge of the world's auto manufacturers and engineered door, console, ceiling and other panels that are 1) lighter – increasing fuel efficiency and reducing shipping and handling and 2) recyclable – factory trim is recovered and sustainable parts can be recycled at end of use. Our one step 3-D molding platform is a perfect fit for Tier 1 suppliers.
and the light one is powered by FlexForm.
FlexForm can be found in over 2 million cars, trucks, commercial vehicles and aircraft interiors to date.
Package tray found in recently launched Buick LaCrosse ( molded by Valley Enterprises division of Gemini Group ).
FlexForm is a blend of bast natural fibers and fiberized thermal plastic polymers.
FlexForm provides the opportunity for manufacturers to produce complex 3D parts and components using low-pressure compression molding technology. Typical forming pressures do not exceed 55 psi. Our products dramatically reduce cycle times, while increasing the structural performance of the finished product.
Parts can be simultaneously surfaced with cover stock and bonded to internal fasteners without the use of additional adhesives or production steps. Parts can also be trimmed in the press during molding.
Lower Finished Component Costs
Reduced capital investment in tooling and equipment and a reduction in raw materials and labor are direct benefits from working with FlexForm.

Here is a wrapper I made up, it fits around a 4.4oz bar, then I crimp the edges.
This prints on a 8 x 11 piece of paper, use what ever color you want.
I just trimmed off the extra paper, and used double sided tape. And crimp the edges to make them look more packed.
This is what the wrapper would look like when it is fitted around the bar and crimped.
You can see more info on how to do that here Kit Kat Bar Wrapper (or any bar)

When you own the most expensive car in the world, even the slightest scratch is going to absolutely freak you out.
Miguel Cabrera has had a slight scratch the past few weeks, and seemed to have aggravate it further on Tuesday night. The injury leaves the Detroit Tigers with a massive dilemma in how to handle the situation.
Yes, he could maybe play through it as he has at 60-70 percent and still be one of the best in the game, but he'd risk further injury like what happened last night. Do you decide to sit him down? If so, for how long?
The Tigers are still in a playoff chase so they don't want to see their best player hit the DL, but it may be the only way the Tigers could have a healthy Cabrera for the playoffs. They will likely try benching him a few days like they did last time, but it just doesn't seem like that way is going to work for Cabrera or the Tigers.
You know Miguel Cabrera would be willing to play today if his name is in the lineup, but seeing him run or wince after swings tells you that he needs an extended rest, no matter how much it hurts the Tigers in the short term.
Every Tigers fan will be holding their breath hoping that everything works out. Without Cabrera, the chances of winning a World Series are all but gone, so the Tigers need to look longer term rather than the next few days.
Cabrera just needs to go in the shop for a few days and before you know it, he will be back to running 100 mph in no time. Actually he won't, but you get my point. The Tigers need Miguel Cabrera and they need him as healthy as he can be.

Gas Industry Spins USGS Findings, Marcellus Shale Gas Reserve Slashed, not Boosted
USGS findings show gas reserves only contain 20% of recent estimates
Yesterday, the U.S. Geological Survey updated its 2002 estimate of natural gas resources contained within the Marcellus Shale.
From the USGS:
84 trillion cubic feet of undiscovered, technically recoverable natural gas and 3.4 billion barrels of undiscovered, technically recoverable natural gas liquids according to a new assessment by the U. S. Geological Survey (USGS).
These gas estimates are significantly more than the last USGS assessment of the Marcellus Shale in the Appalachian Basin in 2002, which estimated a mean of about 2 trillion cubic feet of gas (TCF) and 0.01 billion barrels of natural gas liquids.
News of the findings spread rapidly throughout the media with headlines declaring much more natural gas is locked in the Marcellus Shale than previously thought, but those headlines were simply 'spun' to the industry's advantage, and here is why: the data in those articles compares yesterday's findings to a previous study by the USGS, in 2002, rather than more recent studies which estimated the gas reserves to be much higher.
This is simply not an accurate way to examine the information, as more recent studies actually indicate the USGS's findings show the amount of gas reserves to be significantly lower than recently predicted.
A more recent and accepted study by the Energy Information Administration (a branch of the Department of Energy), estimated gas reserves to be at 410 trillion cubic feet.
The new study by the USGS puts those estimates at 84 trillion cubic feet; approximately 20% of the most recently accepted estimates.
Simply put, when compared to more recent figures, the USGS study shows a huge decline in estimated reserves, rather than an increase when compared to a study nearly a decade old.

Well, of course. But in his case his logo is not needed as he is famous already!

Directory of my WebSites:
Here are links to my other websites. I have included a short description and a thumbnail of the sites to aid in navigation. I hope that you will be interested in visiting some of my other sites.
The list has gotten long and the thumbnails take up some additional space so I have broken the directory into several sections. The top of the comment column on the left has links to the other sections of the directory. I am also adding some information pages so check the top and bottom nav bars to see if there is anything of interest.
Have a Great Day!!
My Personal Website
This was the first space with which I began playing around. This was housed on my 'free' ISP space with AT&T,and an archive copy is still there. I have now moved the real, current site to my regular hosting space. I have a little information and a lot of pictures there. I have a relatively extensive links section that is broken into several categories because it became too long for one page. The navigation for both the personal and business sites link to this page (the two are heavily interlinked).
My Business Website
This is the website for AudioArt Sound and Lighting, my small production company. There is basic information about the business, some more pictures, some live recordings (direct from my mixing board to CD), a contact page, and a calendar (that I probably need to update). I also have a what's new page, a gigblog page, and a rallyblog page.
I have a blog space associated with this site. I don't post as frequently as I should, but I do write up some gigs and events.
The AudioArt MusicPlayer
Here is a site to which I invite bands and musicians to provide their music online for their fans. I have put up some of the music that I have recorded over the past few years, as well. The music player that I use for this site opens in a new pop up window. (Pop-ups must be allowed for this site.) Users can select the music that they wish to listen to and then continue surfing or do other things. The player will minimize to the status bar and keep playing until all the songs in the playlist are played or the player is closed out.
I have added the About Music Blog to this space. I am hand picking articles available from around the web for publication on this blog.
Leave Some Dirt
Still looking for that high volume, fun site, this is a site to post comments about life in general. It draws on the idea of Post Secret, a website that allows people to get things off their chest. With Post Secret you must mail a post card to the operator of the site. Here you can leave your dirt online.
Number One Pictures
On this site I have several galleries of pictures that I have taken in the last few years. I am also offering to put up galleries of pictures of general interest to others. Later, when I was developing the Here's Our Site program further, it occurred to me that this would be a good umbrella site for Photographers to use in their sites offered under the free website program.
The Art and Photography blog is associated with this site. I have articles on art and photography among other subjects on the blog.
The MotorCycle Rally
This is a directory page for motorcycle events. There is a photos section and I am soliciting other content for the site. I would like it to be an interesting place to visit for reasons other than the directory listings.
I have added a blog space to this site. I am posting articles mostly about motorcycles and travel all over the world in the blog.
Symmetrical Backgrounds
There are several galleries of images that can be used for page backgrounds up on this site. The images are symmetrical and tile to produce a seamless background for your page
- The background images used for this page, and most of my pages are available on the Symmetrical Backgrounds site. I also have some articles detailing my thoughts on web design and associated subjects.
The Cartoon Page
I intend to put up some cartoons, funny pictures, and funny video clips on this space. If you have any thing that you think I might be interested in please send it to me at: email@example.com. Thanks!
Web Pickups
I have a circle of friends that pass email jokes and things. There is some fun stuff that comes down the pike. I am posting some of it to this site. There are text jokes, pictures, videos, some sound files, and some inspirational stories. I am trying to add something new every day, but some days are better than others. I don't promise quality. I think there is something there that most people would enjoy. Check it out, and if you like it send a link to your friends. If you don't like it send a link to your enemies!
I have added a blog to this space and am posting the most recent content to the blog. It is a bit easier to make a quick post on a WordPress blog than to build and upload a page plus the associated navigational files. I started using the email subject line for the post title and have found that many people search for these viral emails by their subject line.
The World SoapBox
My original concept was a site dedicated to allowing people to express their views on a wide variety of subjects. I am soliciting 'rants' to post on this site. Please submit any material to: email@example.com
The local rants and the various sections of the concept site are available through the black nav bar. The address leads to an article directory for the present time. There is also a blog associated with the World SoapBox site in which I publish some other articles and make some posts.
All of the sites have some advertising included. If traffic should grow I may make a few pennies, so send more traffic!! Send a link to anybody that might be interested in the content on any of these sites. Send a link to a few people that just won't care, too.


text: Another reason for consider a Sydney vacation. I'm following the news from there via blogger Tim Blair and the online version of "The Australian." Blair's blog directed me to signs of a late swing to Howard. Labor's lead of eight per cent last week has been cut to four per cent which, in the Australian system, is close to a dead heat. The Australian's report online said: "Pollsters said the survey, which came a week after a Newspoll showed former diplomat Rudd ahead by a winning eight-point lead, reflected a major shift in the key states of Queensland and Western Australia." It might be an exciting night, after all.

Anna Malova, former Ms Russia is up to her eyeballs in grief.
Anna Malova, 39, a former Miss Russia, is facing up to seven years in jail for forging and trying to fill 14 prescriptions at New York pharmacies for painkillers over the last year and a half.
Malova, pleaded not guilty of the charges, but now is being held without bail by New York City for repeatedly showing up late to drug treatment evaluations. And not to outdo herself, last week, she added brand new shoplifting charges to her list of offenses.
Daily Mail UK: The New York-based judge ordered that 39-year-old Anna Malova, who was wearing matching snakeskin high heels and bag, should be held without bail, and certainly at least until the evaluations are done.
Why is the Russian rogue so adamant against the drug treatment evaluation you may ask?
Even after being arrested in February 2010 and last May, she allegedly attempted to get more pills with fake prescriptions last June and again just three months ago, the city Special Narcotics Prosecutor's office said.
According to authorities allege Malova, who was a physician in her own country, stole prescription pads from psychiatrists and an addiction specialist, helping herself to scips for Vicodin and the anti-anxiety drug Klonopin.
Miss Malova's lawyer, Robert Gottlieb, says all her legal troubles arise from a drug-abuse problem, and she has been in counselling since last year.
Malova and Robert Gottlieb are hoping she be admitted into a rehab program where she could eventually even have the charge expunged from her record.
But we've got to wonder, what happens the second that Malova's doctor turns their back?

Top 10 NHL Players of the 2012-2013 Season
The Top Ten
Sidney Crosby been doing awesome I do not know bout ovechkin but he better just his ass into shape because if he doesn't hi rookie card will drop through the roof.
Crosby still led the points after being injured for a month and came only 5 points away from the art ross even though he only played about half the season - crosby87
Last year Did missed a quarter of the season and still finished 2-3 points away from winning the scoring title!
Crosby didn't play many games at all but still made it extremely high in the stats.

A special ABC "This Week" town hall meeting is taking place in New York City, where Christiane Amanpour will moderate a live debate "Holy War: Should Americans Fear Islam?" ABC is not revealing the exact location of the town hall due to security reasons. Noteably, 2000 presidential hopeful Gary Bauer will be there. Who can forget him falling off a podium during a Bisquick pancake flipping contest? Refresh your memory here.
The guests: Evangelist Franklin Graham, Daisy Khan — Executive Director of the American Society for Muslim Advancement and one of the leading organizers behind the planned mosque and Islamic community center in New York City, Azar Nafisi, Author of "Reading Lolita in Tehran," Robert Spencer of Jihad Watch, Peter Gadiel of the 9/11 Families for a Secure America Foundation, and Donna Marsh O'Connor of the September 11th Families for Peaceful Tomorrows.
The town hall meeting airs Sunday, October 3 on "This Week with Christiane Amanpour."
