Novi, MI – Water Damage Restoration, Mitigation, and Restoration Services
Did you know one in five homes experiences water damage to some degree each year?
Commercial, industrial, and retail storefronts are destroyed nearly as often.
Water is a strange beast.
The natural element that gives and sustains our lives, can also be the one element with potential to destroy it causing havoc along its path. That's why when water comes into contact with your ceilings, floors, roof, or walls, it must be addressed quickly to mitigate destructive results and prevent a chain of devastating effects.
What you need is a certified structural drying company to turn a potentially devastating loss into a minor inconvenience at best. Sometimes we're able to completely salvage water contacted areas, although that is determined on a case-by-case basis.
Why You Must Contact Us Now
Allowing your space to 'air dry' is a breeding ground for all kinds of unforeseeable costly problems down the road. A do-it-yourself project is out of the question, as tempting as it may seem to use a shop vacuum, or call an establishment that only has equipment for drying carpet.
Consider the fact the water is remarkably invasive. It's never surface level and what you see is only 1/4th of the problem. It buckles walls, travels under base moldings and sill plates, easily goes through floor coverings into sub-floors, and even causes damage to rooms below the troubled areas.
To add insult to injury if humidity inside the building is not properly controlled, items not damaged from the onslaught of initial contact absorbs water moisture from the air like giving candy to a baby.
Lastly, structures that were not dried out properly with speed quickly becomes a food source for microbial growth, which is basically the fancy term for…
Like a fire that spreads quickly throughout causing massive damage within minutes, so too can water. They are both alike in their effective use when controlled, but when let out of its cage it can turn your home into rubble or a massive renovation project that may as well be an entirely new home from the ground up.
Do NOT allow water infiltration of your home get to this point. Stop it in its tracks while you can and contact us today!

Rotten Tomatoes gives Come Back to Me a 20% on the Tomatometer and 38% on audience score. It has only slightly better feedback on IMDb with a score of 5.8 out of 10. How can this be?!? This movie completely caught me by surprise which is why I give it a rave review below. It deserves an easy 7 out of 10 for one of the most exceptional plots I have seen in recent years since The Pact. Check out my review below.
Josh and Sarah are your all-American, young, married couple with big plans and aspirations and living in Las Vegas. First off, I like that this movie takes place in Las Vegas. I really can't think of many other horror films taking place in Vegas besides Resident Evil: Extinction, Fright Night (remake) and Leprechaun 3 (but who would actually count Leprechaun 3), so this gives it an immediate advantage with its distinctive location and atmosphere. While Vegas isn't an inherently spooky place, the story Josh and Sarah portray create an aura of disquiet and apprehension. You see, though they seem to have it all from an outside perspective, there is trouble in paradise. There are classic marital issues like Sarah wanting to start a family and Josh not being ready, but even more disconcerting is the fact that Sarah suffers from extreme night terrors that could be due to stress or a traumatic episode, of which we will be privy to later on in the film. To add a new element of conflict, there is the creepy neighbor Dale who has an undue fixation on Sarah.
I suffer from night terrors and used to sleep walk as a child, so Sarah's struggles hit close to home for me. I often wake up in the middle of the night and actually see spiders crawling up the walls or see a mist slowly descending upon me- horrific dreams that could scare the bravest of persons. There is even a documentary about sleep paralysis called The Nightmare (2015) that I have yet to work up the nerve to watch, rumored to be the most frightening documentary ever made. Enough about me and back to the movie. Sarah's dreams begin to blur with reality, making it hard to tell where the dreams end and real life begins, until she jolts upright in bed, giving the viewers a jolt of anxiety. Either creeper Dale is terrorizing Sarah while she sleeps or all her loved ones are right to believe that she is going crazy. This technique of 'what's real and what's perceived' and 'did it really happen or is she crazy' has been used time and time again in horror movies. I thought I had the plot twist all figured out but boy was I wrong. Dead wrong.
Sarah installs a camera in her bedroom to uncover what's happening to her at night and a shocking revelation is revealed- a horrific secret that can never be guessed. This is such an original story you could have told me it was written by Stephen King- it is THAT good. In reality, it is based on the book, The Resurrectionist, by Wrath James White, who has written an impressive amount of horror novels. I haven't read any of his work yet, despite being an avid reader, but I am so looking forward to it. If this movie is indicative of his imagination and thought-process then I know I am in for something really unique and exciting, not to mention very dark and scary.
Come Back to Me is the epitome of psychological horror, being incredibly effective as a terrifying film without the use of blood and gore. Taking elements of stalking, like in the film Sleep Tight, and all is not what it seems, like in The Sixth Sense, and an unexpected WTF ending, like in The Mist, Come Back to Me receives not a single complaint or criticism from me. This is officially one of my favorite underrated horror movies of the past 5 years. Do yourself a favor and DON'T watch the trailer ahead of time (it gives too much away) , just watch the feature film now on Netflix!

Tea time segues seamlessly into dinner time at one unassuming food stall where chefs go out of their way to please discerning palates
If it is tea time, well… it is time for a cup or two of hot chai.
And if you are an Indian in India, or Malaysia or Singapore, roughly between 3.30 and 5.30pm., chances are that you are not far off from some place or many places that serve the hot beverage just the way you like it - strong (less milk) or weak (more milk), sweet or not too sweet, spiced up with ginger and cardamom and cloves or not. And if you feel like it, you can get some snacks to go along with the chai - biscuits, rusks and samosas are the most popular ones. But what if you are in Viet Nam? Let me let you in on a little secret. The best "Indian tea" or "teh tarik" in HCM City is made by a young Vietnamese woman called Thao Long from the Mekong Delta province of Tien Giang.
Her face breaks out into a knowing smile as I approach the Indian food stall where she works. All I need to do is lift my hand as I approach and signal with my fingers how many glasses (yes, glasses, not cups) of tea I want, and she disappears from behind the counter into the kitchen. Once Thao Long knows how you like your tea, she doesn't need to be told again. Which, if you think about it, is a luxury. And at VND20,000 (US$1) per glass, an eminently affordable one.
Once she disappears, a constantly smiling Indian chef appears. He comes out of the kitchen and beams at me from behind the counter. Farid Khan, from the Indian State of Orissa, wants to know what I want today with my tea. His vegetarian samosas and onion pakkoras are superb accompaniments (and I usually end up ordering both). But even before I make my choice, I see another smiling face approach, and I know I am in for a treat and a long stay at my table.
Riaz Ali, also from Orissa, came to Viet Nam in 2005 and worked as a chef for a very popular Indian restaurant on Bui Vien Street before striking out on his own. He set up "Flavor of India" on the same street, and built up a regular clientele who liked his personalised, flexible service (serving tasty food and beer and ice well past midnight is bound to make you popular).
Flavor of India moved to its current location about four years ago. As one of the stalls on the third floor of the Parkson Plaza on Le Thanh Tong Street, the post-midnight eating and drinking sessions are ruled out, but Ali's culinary skills and service continues to draw the regulars.
As soon as I spot Ali, I know that as has happened so often, tea time will segue seamlessly into dinner time. I get on the phone and call fellow foodie Calvin, whose facial expressions and exclamations on tasting the first morsel of a new dish are as eloquent and enjoyable as his acerbic, superbly descriptive, witty writing.
While I wait for Calvin and his partner Nhan to arrive, I decide to forgo the usual tea accompaniments and ask Ali for a not-on-the-menu dish - dal pakkora, where coarsely ground dal is mixed in a mildly spiced batter, rolled into small balls and deep-fried. Served with a particularly delicious mint chutney, I am confident I will be treated, not just to delectable food, but to several "Calvin specials".
My confidence is not misplaced. "Oh my God!," goes Calvin as the first of the dal pakkoras (VND60,000), duly dipped into the spicy-sweet mint chutney, hits his palate spots. Nhan nods and smiles her approval as well.
Ali follows this up with a full meal - a dal palak (lentils with spinach) (VND68,000), two Indian-Chinese dishes - chilli gobi (VND70,000) and chilli pannier (VND75,000), a mix-vegetable jalfreizi and a collection of breads including chappathis, garlic naans and methi parathas. Oh, I almost forgot to mention an ad-hoc vegetable biriyani (not cooked with the original "dum" method, which requires fragrant, basmati rice to be cooked with spices and meat or vegetables in a vessel that is sealed with flour on a very low flame.
The texture and flavour of each dish is just right, and they combine well with the breads.
Several of these items, the chilli gobi and chilli pannier, cauliflower and cottage cheese respectively, cooked with onions, capsicum, garlic, tomatoes and chillies, and the methi (fenugreek) parathas are not on the menu, but any customer can feel free to request Ali to make them. One can also ask him for suggestions or let his muse serve you for the day.
The fish and prawn curries at Flavor of India are particularly popular, I know, but that is for someone else to write about.
Although I have been weaned on Indian food since birth, the permutations and combinations of cumin, coriander, chilli and turmeric powders, applied differently to different combinations of vegetables and other stuff, working their magic to a create a kaleidoscope of tastes, have never ceased to amaze me.
I reflect on this miracle in contentment as I sip my third glass of tea, which, having faithfully discharged its duties as an appetiser, has now switched roles and become a dessert of sorts to settle a full (read stuffed) stomach.
It does both jobs well, and Long gives me another smile as I give her tea the thumbs up again. In fact, there are smiles all around. The chefs are satisfied with a good day's work, and so are the gourmets they served. It has been a thoroughly enjoyable evening - good food, good friends, good conversation.
As they say, all's well that ends well. — VNS

Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 62074
RFE: Strange services running as default.
Last modified: 2015-01-07 18:55:37 EST
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.0 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020311
Description of problem:
Why is ISDN turned on by default?
Why are ipchains and iptables both set up?
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
How reproducible:
Steps to Reproduce:
Install Skipjack again.
Actual Results: ISDN service is set to run by default.
ipcahins and iptables are both set up.
Expected Results: There should be no ISDN services as there is no ISDN capable
devices on my system.
As what goes to ipchains and iptables then if I am not mistaken, they does not
play together, and there is no point of running them both on the same system.
Additional info:
I agree with these comments.
IIRC it's the same with lpd too.
Fortunately it's not as bad as it looks because all those services actually
don't really start up until they are configured.
What I'd like to see is a way to configure services at install time like
Mandrake does it.
> What I'd like to see is a way to configure services
> at install time like Mandrake does it.
I would concur. I also really like Mandrake's installer that asks "Are you SURE
you want to install these servers?" This would be good for Red Hat to have
because many newer users install too many servers that they will never use,
while experienced users can simply click "Next".
Then later it gives you a chance to disable installed services before the first
iptables & ipchains both only run if there is a configuration for it.
Similarly for ISDN.

On August 28th, my wife lost her job. 24 hours later, I lost mine. This blog is a continuation of the day-by-day chronicling of our emotional journey back to employment. This is bound to be upsetting, hilarious and hopeful.
September 6, 2014
My appetite came back this morning at around 10am when I was confronted with catering at a birthday party for a 3-year-old. Not only was it quite the lavish affair with lots of handmade party favors and a bounce house with a water slide attached to it, but they had quite the spread of Mexican food. I couldn't not eat.
The big happening today was that I finished up my resume and started applying for jobs. Only took forever. I found one really promising job that would put me in Salt Lake working for my church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Utah isn't necessarily my first choice for a place to live (too many dang Mormons), but I've got family there and, for some reason, I find my previous, California-bred hesitancies falling away. It actually sounds kind of exciting to me to deep dive into that oh-so-familiar culture now. We don't want to move, but we accept that we may have to and–seriously, for a reason I cannot fathom or explain–I can see Utah. I can see those mountains and that ocean of decaffeinated soda and days off on July 24th and… it doesn't look half bad.
Not that I'm placing all my bets on that one. I don't want to miss a trick, so all interested parties, please feel free to peruse said completed resume:
Erin sent out resumes like crazy today, both hers and mine. She's applying for a lot of account executive jobs, to do the Roger Sterling thing. She'd be amazing at it. She's so good with people and can make a sale sound like a natural part of a conversation. She had no idea she had this skill until we worked a math convention in New Orleans earlier this year, and to her surprise she loved it. She loves sales. It's incredibly strange.
* * *
I think sharing is important. It's why I write this blog and why I post on Facebook. I think by sharing–the good and the bad–we strengthen each other and learn from each other's experiences. This is a good thing. But it has to be both to really work–the bad and the good.
I struggled today to share something positive. This was maybe the worst day for Erin and me, emotionally and mentally, since this whole unemployment thing started. I wanted to share something positive almost as a counteragent. Positive is the way I prefer to be and I have a real disdain for cynicism, but I had almost nothing for it today.
I know we're blessed, even on hard days like this. It's not even that I suddenly don't think things will be better, it's just that the more our new lives take shape the more overwhelming it all begins to feel. Are we going to find jobs in time? Are we going to stay in Fresno? Will we be forced to move?
The present is a stressful thing. I sometimes feel like I'm a stranger in my own house. Even though I know legally we're allowed to be here and we're all paid up on our mortgage, I'm not totally sure where the next payment is coming from. If our lender knew our precarious position, how would they (the admittedly cold, unfeeling, Terminator-like banking machine) feel about that? Might they say we don't deserve to live in this house? That's how I feel sometimes, like we're squatters or something.
* * *
After dinner, Erin I took a long walk around the neighborhood with our two dogs. It was night out and a little breezy. I think the last time it felt this good outdoors in this dry, dry, dry, 1000x dry and warm climate was May. Erin was mad at me for not wearing shoes, fearing I'd walk on glass or something else sharp and not shiny in the dark. Sure enough, my feet got cut up, though not by glass. Walking barefoot on asphalt over the course of an hour will just do that.
I didn't care. I loved the firm sensation of the balls of my feet pivoting on the flat, sandpaper street; of the wet grass in my toes when we walked close enough to a park to detour; and of my heel slapping down on a small puddle of water produced by sprinklers that probably shouldn't have been on during this severe drought we're having. I even loved it when I felt my soles go raw and, maybe, a little bloody. I loved the distracting, confirming sensation of it.
I find I'm living for those times–moments, really–when something rises up to make me forget we're not entirely employed. Even if it's kind of odd and masochistic, there's a strange satisfaction to it.

December, 2000 Contest: How Has Having A Pet Affected Your Home & Life?
Congratulations to our contest winner!
Lan Vu-Yu of Houston, TX
Having a pet is one of the most rewarding experiences you can have apart from one with another human being. My cat Miko is a long-hair black Domestic cat whose personality is that of a Russian Diva. She wants it her way. If meowing reminders and a taking a few swats does not get our attention, she'll zoom past us, nearly tripping us to get attention. She's a loving, water-fearing, adorable ball of lounging black fur.
Learning to understand her needs took two years of patient and resolute commitment. And the house proudly displays every battle scar and milepost of our relationship. The once pristine house now boasts a decorative 4-nail scratch mark print on our sofa. Our house is interspersed with cat toys, scratching post, and fluffy hair whose color matches the fur of Miko's underbelly. One of our two bathrooms is dedicated to toiletries- her bathtub, bowl, shampoo, and of course her state of the art litter box. Underneath the sink holds all of her treasured tasty goodies- the dry, the wet, and the crunchy. In a basket at the corner of the living room is all of her grooming tools used lovingly once a day. And quietly beside it is her small red-plaid bed which does not get to be used and abused since Miko prefers to lounge everywhere but in her bed. Milk is always there in her blue-and-white Japanese miniature dish. Because if she doesn't get a half dozen gulps of milk each day; well, accidents happen and different types of cleaners come out to scrub and clean the acid out of the rug. Well, come to think of it, we should have had our rug in beige instead because now there is half a dozen quarter-size beige spots that marked where she had to get that pesky hair-indigestion of her chest.
You might think I'm complaining..and you would be right, I am. But I do love our cat and the complaining is only part of the loving of my pesky, adorable Russian Diva cat.

Executive order could mean soaring health insurance costs for Alabamians with pre-existing conditions
Arise Citizens' Policy Project policy director Jim Carnes issued the following statement Thursday, Oct. 12, 2017, in response to the White House's release of a new executive order on health care:
"This executive order risks turning back the clock to the bad old days when many people were priced out of health insurance just because they got sick. Allowing more insurers to sell plans that don't cover essential health benefits would weaken consumer protections under the guise of promoting consumer choice.
"These changes could open the door to a wave of 'cheaper' plans that cost less because they don't provide as much coverage. By luring in many healthier people, these plans could undermine protections for folks with pre-existing conditions like cancer and diabetes by sending costs soaring for more comprehensive coverage.
"Recent cuts to the Marketplace enrollment period, enrollment assistance and outreach activities already have created unnecessary barriers for consumers and threaten to reverse gains in health coverage and care. Today's announcement doesn't immediately change anything, but it sows even more confusion in the health insurance market just as tens of thousands of Alabamians are getting ready to enroll for 2018 coverage. It's more important than ever for advocates and leaders across our state to ensure that Alabamians have the information they need to find affordable coverage that's there for them when they need it most."
GOP tax plan would slash taxes for wealthy people while laying groundwork for cuts to education, Medicaid
Arise Citizens' Policy Project executive director Kimble Forrister issued the following statement Friday, Nov. 3, 2017, in response to the release of U.S. House Republicans' tax proposal:
"The House Republican tax plan is an expensive new giveaway to wealthy households and big corporations at the expense of working families. It would offer little or nothing to most Alabamians, and it actually would increase taxes for many low- and middle-income folks.
"This plan would add at least $1.5 trillion to the national deficit – and to pay for it, many in Congress will try next year to cut everything from education and Medicaid to food assistance for struggling families. Those cuts would make it even tougher for hard-working Alabamians to make ends meet.
"Taking from those who have the least to give to those who have the most is no way to build a better economy, a better state or a better world. Congress should reject this tax bill and focus instead on closing corporate tax loopholes and investing in education, health care, transportation and other vital services that help struggling families get ahead across Alabama and across the country."
New CFPB rule on payday, title loans is a good first step that should prompt further action to protect Alabama consumers
Arise Citizens' Policy Project executive director Kimble Forrister issued the following statement Thursday, Oct. 5, 2017, after the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) announced a new federal rule on payday and auto title loans:
"High-cost payday and title loans have sent far too many Alabamians spiraling into a long-term cycle of debt. The CFPB's new rule is a welcome move to protect struggling families from getting stuck in deep debt. The requirement for lenders to verify borrowers' ability to repay before lending to them is an important, common-sense step to protect consumers.
"The CFPB rule is good news, but it's far from a cure-all. The rule will not reduce the extremely high annual interest rates that Alabama allows on short-term loans: up to 456 percent a year for payday loans, and up to 300 percent a year for title loans. The new safeguards also don't apply to many high-cost installment loans.
"Alabama needs to build on these new federal protections by capping interest rates at a reasonable level and ensuring borrowers have a reasonable amount of time to repay what they owe. These changes would be good for consumers and good for Alabama's economy."
More than half of GOP plan's tax cuts in Alabama would go to top 1 percent
Alabamians with incomes of more than $1 million would get an average tax cut of nearly $116,000 a year under the tax framework unveiled by congressional Republicans and the White House, according to a study released Wednesday, Oct. 4, 2017, by the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy (ITEP), a nonprofit research organization based in Washington, D.C. One in seven Alabamians would pay higher taxes under the plan, which also likely would lead to cuts to Medicaid and other vital services.
Key state-level findings from the ITEP report include:
U.S. Senate Republicans are considering a proposal to allow the tax cuts to add as much as $1.5 trillion to the federal deficit. That move would lay the groundwork for harmful cuts to services that help Alabamians get ahead, Arise Citizens' Policy Project executive director Kimble Forrister said.
"These tax cuts would be a windfall for the wealthy at the expense of everyone else," Forrister said. "This plan likely would force massive cuts to future federal funding for Medicaid, education, housing, transportation and other vital services that help everyday families make ends meet. Congress should reject these reckless tax cuts for the rich and focus on investing in education, health care and other services that help all Alabamians and all Americans get ahead."
Let's get to work, y'all
Arise has worked for more than 25 years to build a better Alabama for all – and that work has never been more important than right now. We face a challenging policy landscape on health care, education, consumer protection and many other issues. It's unclear what may happen to the groundwork Arise has laid for Medicaid reform and expansion in Alabama, or to recent federal proposals to protect consumers from high-cost payday and title loans.
It's time to get to work, and we need your help every step of the way. Please become an Arise member today and help us strengthen our efforts to make life better for all Alabamians.
The stakes are high for families across our state. Arise will continue to fight for access to affordable health care for all Alabamians. We will continue to work to save important reforms enacted under the Affordable Care Act that protect patients like you and your family. We will continue to press Alabama legislators to act on important state issues like increasing the minimum wage, protecting borrowers, and investing in housing and transportation.
Arise is moving forward, and we need you with us. If you've been intending to become an Arise member, now is the time! Join our movement for a better Alabama today and add your voice to our call for a better Alabama for all.
Medicaid funding, public transportation highlight Arise's 2018 priorities
New Medicaid revenue and creation of a state Public Transportation Trust Fund are among the goals on Alabama Arise's 2018 legislative agenda. Nearly 200 Arise members picked the group's issue priorities at its annual meeting Saturday, Sept. 16, 2017, in Montgomery. The seven goals chosen were:
"All Alabamians deserve equal justice and an opportunity to build a better life for themselves and their families," Alabama Arise state coordinator Kimble Forrister said. "We're excited to continue our work for policy changes that would make it easier for hard-working Alabamians to get ahead."
More than one in five Alabamians – almost all of whom are children, seniors, pregnant women, or people with disabilities – have health coverage through Medicaid. That coverage plays an important role in keeping hospitals and doctors' offices open across the state, especially in rural areas.
"Medicaid is the backbone of Alabama's health care system, and we must keep it strong," Forrister said. "The Legislature needs to step up and approve new, sustainable revenue for Medicaid in 2018. It's time to stop the annual funding battles and ensure all Alabamians have access to health care."
Lack of adequate transportation is another major challenge that limits economic growth and erects barriers to daily living for many low-income residents and people with disabilities across Alabama. Arise will push for creation of a state Public Transportation Trust Fund as a step toward closing that gap. A bill to create a trust fund passed the Senate this year and has momentum heading into 2018.

The head was inside a plastic bag and was found by two women police are investigating the case
The severed head of a man was found today inside a plastic bag off one of the trails that runs near the Hollywood sign, local media reported. Two women who were walking in this area of Hollywood found the severed head, close to 3200 Canyon Drive, who alerted authorities. At the scene where their dogs had stopped walking and started playing with the bag. They told NBC news and police Sgt Mitzi Fierro.
During this time the head had come out of the bag. "It seems to be fairly recent. There is little evidence of decomposition," said Fierro, who confirmed that a search was immediately organized to find more body parts in the area.
Access to the path where the head was found was closed to the public and will be monitored by the police. It was unclear as to the identity of the victim, although the Los Angeles Times reports that it was a man of about 40 years old. The case was turned over to the Robbery-Homicide division of the police force of Los Angeles.

General Motors announced this week that all of its Ohio and Indiana manufacturing facilities will meet their electricity needs through 100% renewable energy. GM is buying a total of 200 megawatts of wind energy from Ohio and Illinois wind farms. Once the turbines come online by the end of 2018, renewable energy will power 20% of GM's global electricity use.
The new wind deals are enough to meet the electricity needs of Fort Wayne Assembly, Marion Metal Center and Bedford Casting plants in Indiana and Lordstown Assembly, Defiance Casting Operations, Parma Metal Center and Toledo Transmission plants in Ohio.
"With this 200 MW wind purchase, we're locking in to long-term contracts with fixed energy costs," Rob Threlkeld, global manager of renewable energy at GM, told Energy Manager Today. "This helps us bring more green power to the grid and reduce costs over time."
GM is leveraging energy efficiency and a mix of onsite and offsite renewable energy solutions to reach its 100% renewable energy goal. The company's four-part strategy acknowledges how its energy and product strategies intersect. As GM works toward advancing zero emissions vehicles, it makes business sense to create a cleaner grid on which to drive them. The company uses EV batteries in tandem with a solar array to power an office building at its Milford Proving Ground in Michigan and is researching the use of fuel cells as energy storage in the future.
"The first step in meeting our 100 percent renewable energy commitment is reducing the energy intensity of our operations overall," said Threlkeld. "All seven facilities that will have their electricity needs met through this wind deal have achieved the ENERGY STAR Challenge for Industry, meaning they reduced energy intensity by at least 10% in five years or less."
Altenex, an Edison Energy Company and independent renewable energy advisor, supported GM in the negotiation of the power purchase contracts. GM will be the sole user of the Northwest Ohio Wind farm, a 100 MW project owned by Starwood Energy Group. Swift Current Energy will provide 100 MW from its HillTopper Wind Project in Logan County, Illinois.
GM has used renewable energy for decades, saving about $5 million annually as a result. Renewable energy use supports a resilient grid while offering more stable energy pricing. GM made its first wind purchase in 2014 for several of its Mexico operations, followed by deals supporting Texas wind farms for 30 and 50 megawatts of energy. The company uses solar power at 26 facilities and generates electricity from landfill gas at two assembly plants.
In June, news reports announced that GM and Walmart had become some of America's biggest purchasers of renewable energy.
GM is a member of RE100, a coalition of companies committed to going 100% renewable.

Help police find suspect in weapons and assault investigation (with photo)
File # 2016-168855
Surrey RCMP is asking for the public's assistance in locating Shawn LACHANCE who has a warrant for his arrest for assault and weapons offences that occurred in November in the Surrey City Centre area.
On November 24, 2016, Surrey RCMP was called to a pub in the 10700 block of King George Boulevard at 1:05am. A male suspect, Shawn LACHANCE, 25 years old of Langley, got into an argument with another male and eventually threatened him with a hand gun. Staff at the pub intervened to try to diffuse the situation. LACHANCE punched one of the staff and then threatened them with the handgun before fleeing the scene.
Surrey RCMP Serious Crime Unit is leading this investigation and is asking for the public's assistance to locate LACHANCE who is now wanted for Assault and Possession of a Weapon for a Dangerous Purpose. LACHANCE should be considered armed and dangerous and should not be approached.
LACHANCE is described as a Caucasian male, 5'6 tall, 150 lbs, with hazel eyes and brown hair. He may have a beard and also is known to wear his hair in a ponytail. LACHANCE has many tattoos including the word
tum tum on one side of his neck, and script style writing on the other side.
Anyone with more information is asked to contact the Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502 or Crime Stoppers, if they wish to remain anonymous, at 1-800-222-TIPS or www.solvecrime.ca. Anyone who sees LACHANCE should not approach him and call 9-1-1 immediately.

Some bodybuilders and athletes use trenbolone esters for their muscle-building and otherwise performance-enhancing effects. [5] Such use is illegal in the United States and many other countries. The DEA classifies trenbolone and its esters as Schedule III controlled substances under the Controlled Substances Act . [19] Trenbolone is classified as a Schedule 4 drug in Canada [20] and a class C drug with no penalty for personal use or possession in the United Kingdom . [21] Use or possession of steroids without a prescription is a crime in Australia . [22]
Steroid isolation , depending on context, is the isolation of chemical matter required for chemical structure elucidation, derivitzation or degradation chemistry, biological testing, and other research needs (generally milligrams to grams, but often more [38] or the isolation of "analytical quantities" of the substance of interest (where the focus is on identifying and quantifying the substance (for example, in biological tissue or fluid). The amount isolated depends on the analytical method, but is generally less than one microgram. [39] [ page needed ] The methods of isolation to achieve the two scales of product are distinct, but include extraction , precipitation, adsorption , chromatography , and crystallization . In both cases, the isolated substance is purified to chemical homogeneity; combined separation and analytical methods, such as LC-MS , are chosen to be "orthogonal"—achieving their separations based on distinct modes of interaction between substance and isolating matrix—to detect a single species in the pure sample. Structure determination refers to the methods to determine the chemical structure of an isolated pure steroid, using an evolving array of chemical and physical methods which have included NMR and small-molecule crystallography . [2] : 10–19 Methods of analysis overlap both of the above areas, emphasizing analytical methods to determining if a steroid is present in a mixture and determining its quantity. [39]
Awareness and educational efforts are working to help prevent anabolic steroid abuse in schools and communities. The Adolescents Training and Learning to Avoid Steroids (ATLAS) and the Athletes Targeting Healthy Exercise and Nutrition Alternatives (ATHENA) programs, funded by the NIDA, and supported by the Oregon Health & Science University programs is teaching athletes that they do not need steroids to build powerful muscles and improve athletic performance. These programs provide weight-training and nutrition alternatives, increase healthy behaviors, less likelihood to try steroids, and less likelihood to engage in other dangerous behaviors such as drinking and driving, use of marijuana and alcohol , and and improved body image. Bother Congress and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration endorsed these model prevention programs. 4

Kappa Theater :
"Hey, Shippo san" Kappa chan and his friends said to me. They were very innocent and cute, so I uploaded to MySpace to introduce them. I've been shown their daily life with their photos and words.
Kappa chan and his friends failed, and they mean no harm. When Kappa chan and his friends do something bad, they apologize. Every Kappa chan has his own color. Everyone is different. They are friends even if everyone has their own thing. Everyone is different, but they're friends and amazing. If they are same, we cannot recognize each of them.
Kappa is a yokai (it's a class of supernatural monster) found in Japanese folklore, and also a cryptic. the features are a carapace, webbed hands and feet, a plate (sara), which is a flat hairless region on top of their head that is always wet, and which is regarded as the source of their power. Their favorite food is cucumbers. There are many people who resembles Kappa. I wonder if Kappas blend to human lives they don't even realize themselves.

Solar Heating Trends in Small Apartment Buildings
Multifamily owners are increasingly turning to on-site solar as an environmentally friendly way to reduce operating costs. While multifamily properties have made meaningful gains adopting solar heating since 2010, there is room to grow, especially in the small property sector. But as new research from Chandan Economics shows, small assets (5 to 49 units) are now outpacing large assets (50+ units) when it comes to … Continue reading Solar Heating Trends in Small Apartment Buildings
