Emergency Preparedness: Fire Detection & Suppression Systems Requirements
FIRE DETECTION & SUPPRESSION SYSTEMS
And Other Life Safety Requirements for High Rise Buildings
Automatic Sprinkler, Standpipe, and Fire Pump
FIRE DETECTION SYSTEMS
- HIGH RISE FIRE ALARM SYSTEM
- A high rise fire alarm system contains a series of panels and components which make up the fire command life safety system. The entire system is supervised and monitored by an Underwriters Laboratory (UL) - listed central station monitoring service that notifies the fire department when water flow is indicated in the sprinkler system or when the heat or smoke detectors are activated.
- SMOKE DETECTORS
- Are required in:
- Fan and electrical rooms
- Return air ducts and plenums
- Elevator lobbies
- Corridors on each floor
- In residential dwelling units within 15 feet of the entrance to all sleeping rooms
- Are required in:
- HEAT DETECTORS
- Are required in:
- Storage rooms
- Boiler rooms
- Furnace rooms
- Are required in:
- VOICE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
- A two-way voice communication system is required for firefighters’ use to communicate with the incident commander in the event of a fire or emergency. Firefighter phones are installed on every fifth floor throughout the building’s stairwells.
- A speaker is required between the fire command panel and the following locations:
- Elevators and elevator lobbies
- All required stairwells, one (1) speaker on every fifth floor
- Office areas exceeding five hundred (500) square feet
- In corridors, at intervals of at least 75 feet and at the exit stair doors.
- STAIRWELL DOOR UNLOCKING DEVICE
- All stairwell doors which are locked from the stairwell side are electrically controlled and automatically unlocked from a switch at the fire command panel. The signal is activated by a switching device at the panel.
- MECHANICAL VENTILATION
- Where required, the building’s mechanical ventilation system is controlled by the life safety system and also by the activation of the smoke detectors installed within the building’s ductwork and air plenums. This will shut down the ventilation system to prevent the spread of smoke.
FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEMS
- AUTOMATIC SPRINKLER SYSTEM
- An automatic sprinkler system is a system of water pipes, discharge nozzles and control valves designed to activate during a fire to automatically discharge enough water to control or extinguish a fire.
- Sprinkler systems have an extremely high degree of reliability but despite this high degree of reliability, sprinklers can fail to control or extinguish a fire because of the following factors:
- closed valves
- frozen water supplies
- inadequate water supply
- obstructed sprinkler discharge
- damaged sprinkler heads
- In order for a sprinkler system to function properly, it must be designed, installed and maintained properly. Water is supplied to the sprinkler system by the suppression system’s fire pump and is augmented by the Siamese (fire department) connection at street level.
- Typically, for normal applications, wet and dry sprinkler systems are installed.
- Wet pipe system: Automatic sprinkler system in which the pipes are constantly filled with water under pressure (See illustration II-A (1) in Reference Guide.) This type of system is installed in heated buildings and where freezing temperatures are not an issue.
- Dry pipe system: Fire protection sprinkler system that has air in its piping instead of water under pressure. Dry systems are installed in areas subject to freezing (See illustration II-A (2) in Reference Guide)
- STANDPIPE SYSTEM
- Standpipe systems are fixed piping systems with equipment that provide a means to transport water to designated areas of a building where hoses can be deployed for firefighting. As with the sprinkler system, water is supplied to the standpipe system by the suppressions system’s fire pump and is augmented by the Siamese (fire department) connection at street level. This connection is made by fire department pumpers. The standpipe system runs the total height of the stairwell. Standpipe outlets can also be found in different locations throughout the building, where required. These systems have 2½ inch threaded port outlets which firefighters use to connect fire hoses to extinguish fires on the upper floors of high rise buildings. Some high rise buildings are required to have 1½ inch hose lines in addition to the 2½ inch port outlets (See illustration II-B-(1) in Reference Guide.) Buildings over 275 feet in height are required to have a two-zone system (See illustration II-B-(2) in Reference Guide). Sprinkler and standpipe control valves are usually located in the basement. This is the lifeline of the fire protection system. A sprinkler or standpipe that is out of service can give a false sense of security to the occupants of a high rise building. Both should be in full operation. Building management is required to give prior notice to the fire department in the event of any sprinkler or standpipe repairs or emergency shutdown.
- FIRE PUMP
- Whenever a building’s existing water supply, whether it is a public main or other sources, is insufficient to meet the demands of its fire protection system, a fire pump is installed. Fire pumps are used to provide or enhance the water supply pressure available from the public water mains. Fire pumps are an important component of the fire protection system. The Chicago Fire Codes require that these pumps be tested annually and that these tests be witnessed by the Chicago Fire Department. Fire pumps must perform to their rated gallons per minute and pressure to ensure proper and adequate flow of water supply. As with sprinklers and standpipe systems, building management is required to give prior notice to the fire department in the event of any fire pump repairs or emergency shutdown.
- SMOKE-PROOF TOWERS
- A smoke-proof tower is an enclosed stairwell designed to limit the penetration of smoke, heat and toxic gases, providing a safer atmosphere for occupant evacuation in the event of a fire. A smoke-proof tower may be used in lieu of any required interior stairwell. At least one smoke-proof tower is required in every high rise building that exceeds 264 feet in height. These towers are constructed with a three (3) hour fire-resistive rating. If more than one (1) smoke-proof tower is provided, this rating can be reduced to two (2) hours (See illustration III-A in Reference Guide).
- ELEVATOR RECALL
- Elevator emergency recall is a system which is programmed into the elevator to send it non-stop to the main floor so the fire department can take control of the elevator in a fire situation or emergency. This control of the elevator is called fireman service mode. When elevators are in the fireman service mode, they cannot be used by anyone but firefighters. Keys used by firefighters to recall the elevators are found in the fireman’s recall box, installed in a conspicuous location on the main floor of the elevator lobby. The size of the box, the construction and the type of lock must be approved by the Chicago Fire Department.
- PORTABLE FIRE EXTINGUISHERS
- Portable fire extinguishers can save lives and property by putting out a small fire or suppressing it until the fire department arrives. However, portable extinguishers have limitations. They are not designed to fight large or fast-spreading fires. Most portable extinguishers have a short-range (6-10 feet) and completely discharge in a very short time (8-10 seconds). As a general rule, firefighting should be left to the professionals. The Chicago Fire Department recommends that they are called in the event of any fire.
- Modern fire extinguishers can put out small fires, but using a portable fire extinguisher is a good idea only under certain conditions. All fires are unpredictable and should be approached with caution.
- No step-by-step list can take the place of experience and training. Anyone who uses a fire extinguisher should be trained and familiar with them.
- With that in mind, before you consider fighting a small fire, you should know the following:
- Make sure the Fire Department is notified. As soon as you know there is a fire call 9-1-1.
- Never fight a fire unless you are sure you have the proper type and size of extinguisher and that you know how to use it.
- Begin fighting the fire from a safe distance.
- Never let the fire get between you and your exit.
- Use the buddy system. Always work in pairs.
- Even if you extinguish the fire, the area should be inspected by the fire department.
- The extinguisher must be rated for the type of fire you are fighting.
- Extinguishers are designed to fight specific classes of fires. What type of extinguisher to use depends on what is burning.
- The extinguisher must be large enough to put out the fire.
- Extinguishers come in various sizes. Larger models can handle larger fires.
- The extinguisher must be within easy reach.
- Never move through fire to get your extinguisher.
- The extinguisher must be fully charged.
- If an extinguisher is not fully charged it will not do its job.
- The operator must be trained to use the extinguisher.
- During a fire is not the time to learn to use an extinguisher. You should be familiar with each type of extinguisher available to you.
- When operating portable extinguishers, personal safety and the safety of others are the most important factors in deciding to fight a small fire.
- Before fighting a fire be sure of the following:
- Everyone has left or is leaving the building/area and the fire department has been called.
- The fire is confined to a small area.
- There is an unobstructed exit available. Don’t let the fire get between you and your exit.
- Stay low because the room will rapidly fill with smoke.
- If in doubt, leave the area immediately.
- Close off the area to slow the spread of the fire.
- It is essential that the type of extinguisher you use is appropriate for the type of fire you are fighting.
- The A, B, and C classification describe the fire’s fuel, and what is burning.
- Class A fires involve “ordinary combustibles” - wood, paper, cloth, rubbish, rubber, and many plastics.
- Class B fires involve flammable liquids - oil, greases, tar, oil based paint, lacquers, flammable gasses, and some plastics.
- Class C fires involve “energized” electrical equipment - appliances, televisions, radios, computer equipment, wiring, and circuit breakers or fuse boxes.
- Class A, pressurized water extinguishers, are common in retail and office settings. Water is stored in the extinguisher cylinder and is expelled through a short hose. Water extinguishers Class A fires by cooling the fuel below its kindling temperature.
- Class B&C, carbon dioxide extinguishers, are common where electrical equipment is prevalent. When activated, carbon dioxide is expelled under pressure through a horn at the end of a short hose. The fire is extinguished by reducing the amount of oxygen in the air around the fire.
- Class A, B & C, multipurpose dry-chemical extinguishers, are common in office and home settings. Dry-chemical (ammonium phosphate) is stored in the cylinder and expelled through a nozzle or short hose. The fire is extinguished by interrupting the chain reaction that keeps the fire burning.
There are four basic steps to operating a fire extinguisher.
An easy way to remember the procedure is to think of the word “PASS”
- PULL THE PIN
- Holding the extinguisher with the nozzle pointing away from you, pull the pin, which is located below the trigger.
- AIM LOW
- Standing 6-8 feet away from the fire, point the nozzle at the base of the fire. Always hold the extinguisher vertically. Never hold it horizontally or at an angle.
- SQUEEZE THE TRIGGER
- Squeeze the trigger slowly and evenly. This will expel the extinguishing agent.
- SWEEP FROM SIDE TO SIDE
- As the agent is being expelled, sweep the nozzle from side to side. As the fire begins to go out, move closer to the fire and continue the sweeping motion until the fire is extinguished. If the fire does not diminish or it grows, get out of the building. Close any doors in order to contain the fire to the immediate area.
Fires require fuel, heat, oxygen and a molecular chain reaction. Once a fire has started, it will continue to burn because of the reactions created between these four components. Fire experts call this model the “Fire Tetrahedron”. Removing any one of these components will cause the fire to be extinguished.
- Fire extinguishers put out fires by combinations of three basic methods:
- Cooling the fuel below the temperature at which it will burn.
- Cutting off the oxygen supply.
- Interrupting the chemical reactions that keep the fire going.

After 2 weeks of being ill, the time came when we had to say goodbye to our beloved Jemma. A 12-year-old black lab, she’d been part of the family since she was just over a year. Our DS #1 adopted her from a young man who had found he didn’t have time to spend with her, and she had started spending her alone time chewing furniture and shoes and anything else she could find. We built her a run and a dog house that she resisted staying in with all her efforts, and we soon learned that a 6-foot fence was only high enough if she couldn’t find a launching pad to get over it!! She was energetic and enthusiastic, could bounce straight up about 3 feet off the ground, would do just about anything to please her master. She and DS #1 bonded immediately, and went just about everywhere together. Her only fear was loud noises, like fireworks or cannons – but out on the fields hunting, she didn’t even flinch at the sound of guns. She was more than proud to bring back a duck or goose – and even once a muskrat squirming in her mouth.
This picture was taken just last fall.
DD and DS #2 both loved her dearly, and took many opportunities to take her to a lake or river just for the sheer joy of watching her love of life. We all were available at any time to take her for a few days when DS#1 had to be away.
She got into a couple of scrapes, once with a car, in her youth, with subsequent visits to the vet to get fixed, but she bounced back quickly from those setbacks. She developed a thyroid condition at about 8 years, and before we got the diagnosis, we were wondering if she was approaching the end of her life. But those little purple pills were marvelous and gave her back her youthfulness.
When DS #1 got a job in NWT, and could be home only 2 weeks out of every 4, we had long discussions about where it was best for Jemma to live. So on January 29, she became part of our household. She was slowing down somewhat, but still bounced when she heard the work ‘walk’. She settled in quite nicely, not pining too much for her master.
When she started to vomit during the night, we wasted little time getting her checked. It took another week before we had the diagnosis – an infiltrating tumor of stomach/small intestine. In that 2 weeks, she lost 2 pounds. Over the next 2 days, we found she struggled to make it home at the end of her walks, even when we cut it in half. Then she started vomiting blood, and we knew we couldn’t let her go on like that.
We said goodbye to Jemma last Saturday, knowing she’s now not hurting or confused any longer, and hopefully getting to know her former buddies again.
Below is a picture taken a few years ago of the dogs in our lives at the time – none of them are with us any longer, but remain dear in all of our hearts.
Jemma you’ll recognize. Coda, the golden retriever, passed away last year with a lymphoma – she was 12. Eby, the chocolate puppy was about a year old in this picture – a few months later she escaped the yard (jumped the fence) and was hit by a car. Sophie, the basset suddenly suffered kidney failure at 4 years old and went within 24 hours.
So to all of you with beloved pets – wishing long lives and fond memories.

Just days ago on May 24th, LEGO House opened the doors to the museum collection to the public ahead of the official start of Pride month. The new display features dozens of building sets that offer children an "inclusive" and "diverse" environment to interact with gender identity and LGBT-related building sets.
In a promotional video posted on the brand's Instagram last month, LEGO invited families who identify as part of the LGBTQI+ community to attend an early viewing of the collection, featuring sets which include a transgender garden, a trans-colored butterfly, a set including 10 different LGBT flags from the pansexual flag to the transgender flag, and even sets encouraging children to question their gender. It's unclear what gardening and butterflies have to do with sexuality or gender identity.
Earlier this spring, LEGO Pride displays came under fire from a father who was suprirsed to find that a trip to the LEGO store was filled with LGBTQ imagery. TPUSA contributor John K. Amanchukwu Sr. wrote about the encounter with Pride paraphernalia in a Twitter post, noting that four clerks are wearing Pride pins.
In the video, parents and their children interact with the various trans-themed designs. LEGO captioned the video, “Each build represents a personal interpretation of a meaningful word from the community.”
One of the children’s mothers who appears in the video is seen expressing her support for the LGBTQI+ LEGO concept, saying that “anything that allows a child to express themselves is an amazing achievement. And I think LEGO bricks really does that.”
Another mother added, “For my children to see something that’s aimed at them, they haven’t had that experience before. It’s pretty special.” The video has since attracted over 6,300 comments on LEGO’s Instagram account, most of them critical.
This is not the first time the brand has pushed gender ideology onto its young consumers, who are predominantly children aged five and older.
Last June, during Pride month, the brand first launched its "A to Z of Awesome" collection, featuring a handful of transgender creators building "inclusive" sets that helped them express their gender identity. One of the creators, a biological male who identifies as a female named Jeannie, can be seen explaining his transgender garden creation: “What I built here was a transgender garden, so all these different aspects of gender have their place in the garden.”
Another creator named Hope, a biological male, appeared in the video saying, “I’m a black queer woman who loves LEGO bricks” Another person who built a gender-questioning castle described it as a "safe space."
Additionally, in 2021, the brand launched its Everyone is Awesome set to “celebrate the diversity” of fans and to “send a signal to everyone that this is what we stand for,” according to Matthew Ashton, the Vice President of Design at LEGO Group.

Pepsi and NFL create limited edition cans
Pepsi have partnered with the NFL to create some limited edition cans to celebrate the four most popular teams in Mexico.
The popularity of the sport in Mexico continues to grow with the country hosting games since 2016.
The Estadio Azteca in Mexico City has hosted matches in 2016, 2017 and 2019 but the game in the 2020 season was shelved due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Pepsi have now created a new collection of cans inspired by the teams with the greatest following in the country.
Mauro Porcini, SVP & Chief Design Officer at PepsiCo, said: To kick-off the 2020-2021 football season, our PepsiCo Design team in Mexico partnered with the National Football League (NFL) to create an inspired collection of limited-edition cans celebrating four of Mexico’s most beloved football teams: the Las Vegas Raiders, the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Dallas Cowboys and the New England Patriots.
“Each can features a player in action—a receiver, kicker, runner, or quarterback in the team’s uniform and colours – honouring the ritual of football and its fans, in Mexico and across the world.”

An Artist You Should Know
One of the things I love most about the creative community is the incredible generosity I see in so many people. We are all on our own individual creative journey and no two journeys play out the same. We stumble and fall along the way and I've found that when that happens, there are so many people ready to help you up and and spur you on. I've made some amazing friends, found some incredible mentors and coaches, but most of all, I've found so much love and inspiration from my online art community that I really feel like I have wings. Let me introduce you to Anny Hyde, one of those people who epitomizes all that I love about this artistic life. Her courage, her kindness, and artistic skill are astounding and she is definitely an artist you should all know.
Hi, my name is Ann Hyde - my blog is www.studiohyde.blogspot.com which I started as a means to join in the art community and share my work with other like minded people whilst also being able to follow other art and creative blogs myself.
So, how old am I...well I was born in July 1952 (so you can work that out!).
I am lucky that my experiences as an only child allowed me to make my own entertainment, my painting and drawing has always been a part of who I am, I just don't remember a time when I didn't have a pen in my hand drawing something. Since our kids left home, about 3 years ago, I have spent an increasing amount of time painting using mixed media: oil, coloured inks, acrylics and watercolours and even innovative fingers and thumbs technique! I took over our daughter's old bedroom as my studio and it is filled to the rafters with art supplies and accumulated art stuff.
I tend to have times painting in one particular media, for example just watercolours. I'll then jump to oils (which I have been doing recently) and then on to acrylics and sometimes mixing them in one piece of art. I really couldn't say definitively which media I prefer, it just depends on how I feel at the time as to what I paint and whether I use watercolours, oils or acrylics for it. Although I would say that watercolours are great for quick sketching, so there is always a pan of colours next to my desk. I don't think I have any particular 'style', but it seems a few people do recognise my work before they see my name, so perhaps I do!
I am self-taught through and through but I do like to join Art Workshops. A few months ago I went along to a Watercolour workshop run by Wendy Jelbert - learnt a lot from that experience, and have just come back from an Oil Workshop run by Sharon Ball (Painting with Oils in a Bob Ross style). I have learnt so much from them and had a great time attending the classes too. The thing I find with these classes is that I can adapt their techniques to paint a scene of my own choice, I love doing that. xx
Thanks for checking in xx

President Trump has long felt that in-person, well-attended rallies are one of the keys to his prolonged and prolific support among the conservative masses, but COVID-19 has put a serious damper on these events in recent months.
There were several weeks in which the President himself was kept wholly off the campaign trail, unable to gather massive crowds due to the need to socially distance – which is one of the only tools we currently have in the fight to prevent the spread of coronavirus.
But, as soon as the campaign could find a way to bring the crowds back, they did, and the Commander in Chief has been on a rip-roaring tour of battleground states ever since.
In Minnesota, however, his late-in-the-race rally will be limited to just 250 persons, by order of The Gopher State’s Attorney General.
The venue for President Donald Trump’s political rally in Minnesota scheduled for Friday will be restricted to only 250 people after Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison put pressure on the business owners of multiple locations.
The rally was initially planned at the Rochester airport, but Ellison’s office demanded a “COVID preparedness plan” from officials from the City of Rochester, Olmsted County, and the Rochester airport, as well as the Republican National Committee to ensure the event was safe.
The event was then moved to Dodge Center, prompting Ellison’s office to ask the Trump campaign and the owner of the building McNeilus Steel for their “COVID Preparedness Plan.”
That prompted the Trump campaign to move the event again, back to the airport.
Team Trump was not pleased, and they let their frustrations be known.
“Thanks to the free speech-stifling dictates of Gov. Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison, only the first 250 people will be admitted,” the campaign said in a statement sent late Thursday night.
The President and his team suggested that the move was interfering with the First Amendment, and blasted Ellison for the orders.

Monarchos, the Kentucky Derby winner, simply melts when a kind of helmet is fitted over his gray head and a constellation of tiny lasers massages his powerful neck and spine. His legs are pulled and his neck stretched by a licensed chiropractor. Acupuncture has helped relieve stress on his ankles and hindquarters. And he is devoted to what his trainers call ‘’the chi-gong machine,’’ an ultrasound device. (ed: infrasound)
‘’Within two minutes his eyes gets soft, he yawns and goes into La-La Land — just like a person getting massage,’’ said Yvonne Azeff, an assistant to his trainer, John Ward.
The colt cost $170,000 as a 2-year-old but is now worth at least $30 million as a stud prospect by virtue of his victory at Churchill Downs in the fastest time since Secretariat’s legendary run in 1973. Mr. Ward, a third-generation horseman, says that Monarchos is a ‘’superstar athlete’’ and that such athletes — like Shaquille O’Neal, who thrives on eastern medicine — deserve such treatment.
‘’You keep superstars healthy and happy,’’ said Mr. Ward, who spends $50 a day on his colt’s new age therapy. ‘’You pamper them.’’ And, he said, ‘’I know it’s cut down on the amount of anti-inflammatory medicine we use.’’
Still, there are skeptics. The trainer of Point Given, the Preakness winner and likely co-favorite with Monarchos for the third leg of the Triple Crown, prefers the age of reason over the new age. ‘’I don’t use voodoo,’’ said Bob Baffert. ‘’When I want to pamper my colt, I give him mints.’’

The first half of Realm War: Age of Darkness was packed with a hell of a lot of action. Writer Joe Brusha devoted a lot of time to fleshing out the post-Grimm Fairy Tales #100 world, one in which the bad guys won and took over the realms, even as the heroes rose up again to fight them, to reclaim their individual worlds. And things have certainly been downhill for them for most of the way. It was a rather classical approach, and it worked out well for me, for Brusha presented lots of fun mysteries and relationships, even as artists Sami Kivela and Maxflan Araujo went to town on the illustrations and all the cool action sequences and what have you.
But, Realm War #7 marks a turning point in that we move into the second half of this epic crossover, and the good guys are now starting to make some real headway. Despite all the adversity, all the losses and the betrayals, it looks like the good guys finally have a real chance of stopping the Dark Queen (retrospectively we know already that they win, courtesy of the other titles from the publisher, namely Grimm Fairy Tales itself). Issues 7 through 9 are full of more epic action, more character moments, etc, and it is the ninth issue that finally gets the ball really rolling, as the heroes strike out for a major blow against the villains, a definitive one in fact.
Another week of a “Magic 40”, though no graphic novels.
This week’s surprise hits were Ivar, Timewalker #1 from Valiant, Mortal Kombat X #4 from DC, and Twilight Zone: Shadow And Substance #1 from Dynamite. The disappointments of the week were Spider-Woman #3 from Dynamite and Spider-Verse #2 and The Amazing Spider-Man #13 from Marvel and Vampirella: Feary Tales #4 from Dynamite. Ongoing greats were Wonder Woman ’77 #3 , The Flash: Season Zero #11 and Supergirl #38 from DC, Black Widow #14 and Bucky Barnes: The Winter Soldier #4 from Marvel, and, Grimm Fairy Tales: Realm War #6 from Zenescope among others.
Last Fast-Shot Comics Review for comics released in January 2015!
The picks for this week are: Bitch Planet #2, Jungle Book: Fall of The Wild #2, Robyn Hood #6, Wolverines #1-4, Gotham By Midnight #1-3 and Unity #13-14.
With all the meta-level shenanigans that have been going on in Zenescope’s Realm War: Age of Darkness series of late, it is easy sometimes to lose sight of the small details. But they are always there, and each issue focuses on something different from the rest. This then ends up giving space to some of these mysteries to develop in each issue, and that’s what I love about this ensemble-cast series, that it focuses on both the meta and the more immediate stories so you get a healthy balance of both.
In Realm War: Age of Darkness #6 from this past week, we finally learn one of the biggest secrets of the Grimm Universe, and thus are able to finally figure out why Robyn has been such an important character since her birth, and why Lucinda the Dark Queen courted her so damn much, eventually turning over the Realm Knight to the cause of the evil and mighty Dark Horde. But that’s not everything here since we also get to see how Sela and the others are holding up in the face of constant attacks by the Dark Horde and how it is breaking them all on an emotional level.
Last year I did a small roundup over at The Founding Fields with fellow reviewer Bane of Kings which contained a list of the best new comics to have come out in 2013. It was a rather small list with only 10 entries each from the two of us, reflecting our reading for the year and the consequent small pool to pick from. But in 2014, I greatly expanded my weekly reading, and so for the round-up of the best new comics to have come out in 2014, whether as mini-series or ongoings, I have decided to go much bigger.
There were a ton of new comics to come out last year and many of them started off well enough but unfortunately well by wayside since subsequent issues were nowhere near as good. That however, is a call to make on any new comic and you have to have a wait-and-see attitude for the most part. For this embiggened round-up, I have some mini-series here and some ongoing titles. Some have had multiple issues come out in 2014, while some have had less than three.
Irrespective of that, these are all the most promising new series of 2014, and I think that they are all well worth the read in 2015.
Let’s see what makes the cut and which comes close then!
A few days ago I did my best of 2014 list for the comics I read in the second half of 2014. And back in July of 2014, I did the first “best comics of 2014” post. The reason I mention that is because of the changes I’ve made for this list. While previously I used to do it so that I put up my top 6 comics, in July’14 I did a top 12 on account of the increased number of comics I was reading at the time. And that same holds true for this list as well since I’ve gone up on the number yet again, and this list has the top 20 and then 20 honourable mentions.
More comics, yay!
So, with the books of the second half of 2014 already having been covered, I now delve into my favourite monthly comics of the same period. The next post will be a list of the top graphic novels I read in all of 2014.
Let’s see what makes the cut and which comes close then!
The last week of 2014 and I hit my Magic 40 number. That pleases me immensely. I was hoping I’d be able to make it to this number, and I did, especially with 2 graphic novels in the mix a well!
For this final week of 2014, the surprise hits were: Jungle Book: Fall Of The Wild #1 from Zenescope and Transformers: Drift: Empire of Stone #2 from IDW Publishing. The disappointing comics of the week were Death of Wolverine: The Logan Legacy #7 from Marvel and Secret Origins #8 from DC. The regular greats like Aquaman, Catwoman, Sensation Comics, Secret Avengers, Godzilla: Cataclysm and others struck once again in the final tally.
The graphic novels for this week were Sunstone by Stjepan Sejic and He-Man and the Masters of the Universe Volume 3 by Dan Abnett, Pop Mhan, Mark Roberts, Deron Bennett and Stjepan Sejic.
This will be the final edition of this feature for this year, and it involves a fair bit of catching-up across several different titles. Digital comics, print comics, comics with female leads, comics with male leads, team books, solo books, everything is here, so check out the review below!
The picks for this week are: Fables: The Wolf Among Us #1-3, Grimm Fairy Tales: Robyn Hood #4-5, Grimm Fairy Tales: Jungle Book: Fall of The Wild #1, Judge Dredd: Anderson, Psi-Division #3-4 and Aquaman #35-37.
The fifth book cover I pick for the 2014 edition of “12 Days of Best Covers of…” is for Heirs of the Demon King: Uprising by Sarah Cawkwell. Published by Abaddon Books, this was Sarah’s first full-length non-Black Library work, and it proved to be even better than some of her Black Library work, which is saying something since I’ve always held her BL fiction in high regard. She was one of the first authors I started reading back when I was returning to BL fiction some years back, and she has never disappointed. An historical fiction novel about an alternate English history, mixed in with some great fantastical concepts, Uprising was one of my top books for the first half of the year.
The fifth set of comic covers I pick this year are for Batgirl #31 by Gail Simone, Fernando Pasarin, Jonathan Glapion, Blond and Dezi Sienty, with cover by Alex Garner, and Robyn Hood: Legend #1 by Pat Shand, Larry Watts, Slamet Mujiono and Jim Campbell, with the cover by Nei Ruffino. Alex Garner’s work on Batgirl has always been impresive since he stepped on to the title last year, and the one for Batgirl #31 is among my favourites, especially since it has one of my favourite Secret Six characters, Ragdoll. With Robyn Hood: Legend, I have less of a history since I only got into the whole Robyn Hood thing this year, but writer Pat Shand certainly made it a grand experience and Nei Ruffino’s cover, while a variant, is the best of all the covers commissioned for the first issue of the third Robyn Hood mini-series.
So without further ado, hit the break to see both the covers in all their glory! The full list of all these covers is available here.
A third straight week this time without me hitting my magic 40 number, which I really regret since a ton of comics have been coming out these last two weeks, but no matter.
Anyway, My top picks for the surprise hits of the week would be Battlestar Galactica: The Death of Apollo #1 from Dynamite Entertainment, Dredd Uprise #1 from 200AD, and Swamp Thing #35-37 from DC Comics. The most disappointing comics of this week were Angela: Asgard’s Assassin #1 and Hulk #9 from Marvel Comics. Comics which continued on with a good run yet again were Alien vs. Predator: Fire and Stone #3 , Aliens: Fire and Stone #3, Grimm Fairy Tales: Realm War #5 , Death of Wolverine: The Weapon X Program #3, Inhuman #9, Gotham Academy #3 and Vampirella v2 #7 among others.
No graphic novels this past week unfortunately.
Zenescope’s Age of Darkness event has still been moving steadily ahead after Grimm Fairy Tales #100 in the current mini-series Realm War that looks at the world as it in the aftermath of the Horde’s victory over all the different realms. Even as the heroes try to gather their forces for a strike at their enemy, the villains are having some problems of their own, though they are still quite powerful and the writing and the art both have been pretty spectacular since the start, which is a huge bonus indeed as a reader.
This week’s Realm War #5 proved to be just as exciting an issue as any of the previous ones, as far as I’m concerned. While it gives the story a lot of forward momentum and marks finally moving against Lucinda, given everything that has been happening elsewhere, it also did a lot to show what Lucinda the Dark Queen is planning and how she plans to deal with all insurrection, whether internal or external. Goes without saying really that I loved the art a lot here and the writing was pretty good too, given all that writer Joe Brusha tries to do here. Read the rest of this entry
When Zenescope decided to move forward the clock on all of its main titles to a year after the events of Grimm Fairy Tales #100, with the intervening time being covered in the Realm War: Age of Darkness mini-series, it was a pretty great decision for the publisher. It allowed for new stories to be told with new characters without the express baggage of an event that had been going on almost a year, and now here we are. I’m not sure what exactly is the continuity of this new Robyn Hood title, but I don’t really care since Pat Shand and Claudia Balboni have been hitting up almost all the right notes with this.
Robyn Hood #3 is the end of the first arc of this new ongoing series, and it brings things to a rather satisfying conclusion as far as I’m concerned. Pat Shand moves things along at a very brisk pace but that also allows him to setup some future arcs, and introduce the big bad villains as well, so that’s not a big point of contention. Marion and Robyn kicked a lot of ass in this issue, and it was really fun to see the two of them bond together in the end. The art is a bit too clean and lacking hard texture, but it was still good, especially the fight scenes in, about, the middle third of the isse.

The sentencing of Konstantin Ignatov, a key figure in the proceedings against notorious crypto scheme OneCoin, has been postponed again. This becomes clear from recent filings with the New York Southern District Court.
The sentencing control date for Mr Ignatov previously set for November 12, 2021 has been adjourned to May 12, 2022.
There was no explanation as to why the sentencing has been rescheduled. However, the previous time the schedule was changed, the Department of Justice (DOJ) explained that Ignatov’s co-operation with the authorities was not yet complete.
Let’s recall that Konstantin Ignatov was arrested March 6, 2019, at the Los Angeles International Airport. He was charged with wire fraud conspiracy stemming from his role as the leader of an international pyramid scheme that involved the marketing of a fraudulent cryptocurrency called “OneCoin.” An Indictment also charged Ignatov’s sister, Ruja Ignatova – a founder and original leader of OneCoin – with wire fraud, securities fraud, and money laundering offenses.
As a result of misrepresentations that Ignatov, Ignatova and others made about OneCoin, victims invested billions of dollars worldwide in the fraudulent cryptocurrency.
OneCoin Ltd. operated as a multi-level marketing network through which members receive commissions for recruiting others to purchase cryptocurrency packages. This multi-level marketing structure has fueled the rapid growth of the OneCoin member network. Indeed, OneCoin Ltd. has claimed to have more than 3 million members worldwide, including victims living and/or working within the Southern District of New York.
Records obtained in the course of the investigation show that, between the fourth quarter of 2014 and the third quarter of 2016 alone, OneCoin Ltd. generated €3.353 billion in sales revenue and earned “profits” of €2.232 billion.

Update: Summer Walker Denies London On Da Track Was Trying To Hurt Her While Choking Her – He Was Playing!
Update #2 (March 24th): Summer Walker is shooting speculation that her boyfriend was hurting her. She writes on social media:
London was playing y’all buggin, he would never try to really hurt me
Original Story: Singer Summer Walker, 23, garnered some mixed reviews following a playful video that she shared over the weekend (March 21st). In the clip, she and her super producer boyfriend London on Da Track, are seen painfully squeezing the neck of the R&B singer.
In the video, Summer Walker appears uncomfortable as London grips her by the neck in an aggressive manner while she asks for him to stop. She says in the video,
“Stop! It hurts. It’s supposed to be sexy.”
“It is sexy.”
Summer Walker didn’t look comfortable when getting choked by London On Da Track, but maybe that’s her thing. pic.twitter.com/KCh0BViMDj
— Ronald Isley (@yoyotrav) March 22, 2020
While the “Come Thru,” singer continued to ask him to stop, a female friend can be overheard laughing at the couple. To add, London responds,
“Say you love me.”
“Okay, I love you. Get off me.”
However, the producer doesn’t oblige, instead squeezing her neck harder while she yells, “OW!” The clip finishes with the two sharing a pecking on the lips.
The couple reportedly began dating after working together on Walker’s record breaking debut album ‘Over It.’ The two briefly parted ways in October, before getting back together after he surprised her at one of their concerts.
Although, it appears that the lovebirds were merely being playful, some who watched were a bit concerned.
Check out a few online reactions:

Ice skating rink building at Merlin Olsen Park
LOGAN — The city of Logan has long been associated with the arts and the city is launching a granting program for local artists to get murals up in various places around the downtown area, throughout parks and the city at large.
Heading this up is a team of people including Community Improvement manager for Logan City, Aaron Smith. On KVNU’s For the People program last week, Smith said it’s an exciting time for the city and local artists.
“It is an exciting time for arts in Logan with getting a public art program rolling. We’ve had some initial projects that have got underway and we have heard from local artists who have been calling saying ‘how can I get involved?’. It’s been great to hear from them and hopefully get them involved in projects coming up.”
Smith said this is about place-making, described as a people-centered approach to planning, design and management in public spaces.
“We just wrapped up our Art in the Park program, and that focused on Merlin Olsen(park), and the soccer park and really we are trying to get art where folks are at, when they’re going down to kick a soccer ball, there’s also a mural, and when you’re riding your bike through the tunnel at Merlin Olsen Park, there’s a mural. Areas that may not be…..the nexus of downtown but out in the community as well.”
Utah Arts and Museums is providing funding for the project, in addition to the state of Utah. Artists who are interested can visit the City of Logan Government on Facebook
The entry deadline has been extended to midnight on Thursday, July 28th.

Tourist season is up and out on the streets of Jaffa, you can feel it. Even in my hood, normally in the middle of nothing, I’ve seen tourists getting lost. They are become denser and they are venturing out. One big question when you come to any city is how do I get around the city? Here I am going to answer some basic questions about Tel Aviv and Jaffa and a few options you have for getting around the city.
- On Foot: Tel Aviv and its sister city Jaffa are connected. You can get around both cities by foot. Both are long, spread out cities along the sea, much longer than they are wide. Walk from one side of Jaffa to the other in about 30 minutes. From one side of Tel Aviv to the other, about 60. From the north of Tel Aviv to the Peres Center in Jaffa in the south in about an hour and a half.
- By camel. Just joking. There are no camels in Tel Aviv or Jaffa. You might find a horse or pony ride though. Donkeys used to be more common in Jaffa, but I don’t see them now.
- By bike. Tel Aviv has the city bike sharing system called Tel-O-Fun, like New York and Paris. Unlike Paris and New York half of the bikes are in disrepair and it’s very expensive if you are ordering by the day. Some hotels offer free bike use, and there are rental shops throughout the city. Take note that bike crime is rampant in Tel Aviv and Jaffa. Get a good lock or insurance. Have a good helmet and drive on bike lanes if they aren’t blocked by cars.
- Shared taxi. Busy streets in Tel Aviv operate lines of shared taxis called moneet sheroots. They end up in the Central Bus Station or the Far North End of Tel Aviv at Arlozorov. They run on a fixed line but the mini-buses can stop where and when you want along the street. It’s the best way to travel between cities too – avoiding the terrible lines and hassle of bus stations in Israel. Though the cost is a few shekels more. No big deal. Hail one by waving your hand downwards.
- Tel Aviv has Car2Go but it’s a bit of a hassle as you need a subscription and you know, it’s Israel. Read the fine lines. You can find loads of places to compare prices on a car hire or just call a local company that locals use like SunCar. Parking in Tel Aviv is a massive hassle, Jaffa it is not. If you have a short time in Israel, renting a car to get around fast outside the city is a good option. Inside the city, it’s better to take a taxi. Or borrow a friend’s car, even better. Driving advice is for another post.
- Taxis in Israel aren’t expensive with typical fares running about $10 or $12 to get across the city. Always make sure the meter is turned on; to be on the safe side, order one through Gett, or turn on your Waze application to make sure the driver isn’t giving you the run around.
- Local buses are a bit of a hassle even for long-time residents but find the schedules here. Bus #1 is a new express line that zips across the city, and which is quite convenient. Otherwise, I’d not bother figuring out the system and just bike, taxi or walk it. Or if you want to download a new app, an Israeli app, try Moovit for getting around by bus.
- Trains. Some people are taking the train from the south of the city to the north. Do it if you are going to spots close to the stations otherwise it’s not worth the wait or hassle. Israel is not Switzerland when it comes to running on time. Not at all.

I brought home a trophy from a neighborhood cheesecake cookoff with this recipe. And the test cake was a big hit at my office. My only change was to use Lorna Doone's as a substitute cookie. Thanks Bon Appetit.
WONDERFUL! I substituted one of the 8oz cream cheese for low-fat - you could NOT tell. The crust is DELICIOUS. Very rich, very easy and very very good.
Worked well with low-fat cream cheese substituted for the regular cream cheese. The shortbread cookie crust was far tastier than crusts made with graham crackers. I was skeptical about baking it in the water bath, but it delivered superior results....evenly baked, excellent creamy texture. If you are worried about the water leaking into the pan, wrap the outside of the springform pan with aluminum foil.

Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba and Interim Police Chief James Davis recently unveiled the Jackson Police Department’s new fleet of 46 newly designed police cruisers.
“Over the last few years, we have not purchased new vehicles for our officers. We’ve had officers who have been riding in vehicles that do not have adequate air conditioning and did not demonstrate the safest conditions to ride in. And so, we are excited about this opportunity where we can initiate the process of purchasing and providing new vehicles to our officers. At the end of the day, the goal that we are setting out for is a goal to protect our citizens,” Mayor Lumumba said.
The new fleet of 2018 Ford Taurus vehicles features an orange stripe with blue lettering and a newly designed seal, all to help improve community engagement with Jacksonians, boost morale, and improve the image of the police department as a whole.
“The idea of the color and the choice of going with the new design was one that was initiated out of our planning and development department and it is especially appropriate that we stand here in front of the Welcome to Jackson sign because the color and scheme and idea was one that was initiated behind the excitement that the citizens had about the new Welcome to Jackson sign.
“It represents a new direction. It represents a new day. And, I have always said and I continue to state that this is a radical administration that represents a radical city that more than wants to change the conditions in Jackson. But, we stand on the proposition that we want to change the condition of the world.”
The Mayor said the new design came from a desire to make the Jackson Police Department stand out and foster new relationships with a “new, fresh design that our officers look good in.” Deanna Gentry, executive assistant to chief of staff, Dr. Safiya Omari, is credited with creating the design.
“I am excited about the direction we’re going in and I thank the Mayor for giving us some well overdue cars. Our fleet has aged. As the Mayor mentioned, we have cars where our officers are riding around with no air, but with these new cars, it builds morale and it gives us a new hope for the police department and this city,” Chief Davis said.
Of the new fleet, 45 cruisers will be divided amongst four precincts and one will go to the training academy. They will be driven by patrol officers and lieutenants.

Key points from article :
Aging is accompanied by the loss of proteostasis and mitochondrial dysfunction.
The hallmarks of aging do not work in isolation.
Study highlight how interconnected the hallmarks are and how influencing one can affect others.
Deregulated nutrient sensing is another way in which we age.
NAD+ regulates metabolism and declines with age, influences both proteostasis and mitochondrial homeostasis.
NAD+ homeostasis is key in regulating age-related muscle amyloidosis.
Increasing levels ameliorates the accumulation of amyloid-beta in aged human muscle cells, in old mice, and in a nematode.
Treatment with the NAD+ boosters nicotinamide riboside (NR) and olaparib (AZD).
Boosting NAD+ levels also appeared to boost mitochondrial function.
Ameliorating age-related amyloidosis also restores mitochondrial dysfunction.
Approaches to increase its presence to youthful levels could potentially treat age-related diseases.

Once again me and my kindle (someone should write a song about that) have been out and about, this time reading The Dead Tracks by Tim Weaver. This is the first of his novels I’ve read although the second he has written. In the Dead Tracks a girl is missing and her parent’s employ widower Raker to help find her. As this is obviously a crime book, she’s not the only missing girl,there are lots of suspects and there is a serial killer involved.
I thought this was another good story that was a great introduction to this author. However I did feel that it slightly lost its way towards the end. The ‘who’ of the ‘who dunnit’ was quite predictable, although the ‘why’ and the ‘how’ were not. There were a lot of potential suspects throughout the book which I did feel was an issue and almost a bit farcical.
It seemed to be heavily influenced by films, for example Silence of the Lambs, and Seven, both had echos of their plot lines in this. They are both however, very good films so that is not a criticism although it does make for a bit of confusion at times if you don’t concentrate properly. I did think though that the overall story was qute interesting and original.
Tim Weaver is talking in ‘Drawing the Line’, where authors apparently describe their struggles with morality. This was quite a descriptive book, with some blood and gore which I do like in a crime book. It involves a Russian Mafia type group so it was never going to be a nice fireside rom com (which would have been very disappointing!) so I can see how he fits into that particular session.
I would definitely want to pick up his first book, and I think that would help to understand Raker and his background, and maybe garner some sympathy for him (which I found myself distinctly lacking) Yet to me this book just seemed a little bit too long, and I suspect that a bit of firmer editing would have changed it from good to excellent.

Adelaide will become the national hub for producing a drug used to reduce infections in cancer patients when the expansion of a $21 million facility in the city’s inner-west is completed, the State Government says.
Adelaide site director of pharmaceuticals company Pfizer Dr Tony Mulcahy said the manufacturing facility at Thebarton would deliver $380 million to the South Australian economy over the next seven years.
The expansion will not create any new jobs but Dr Mulcahy said 100 people were involved in the production and global exportation of the drug called pegfilgrastim.
Dr Mulchay said essentially the injectable drug stimulates the level of white blood cells a patient produces, helping them deal better with any complications after chemotherapy.
“Normally a complication of cancer therapy is that your immune system is actually wiped out,” he said.
“What happens is that you have very, very low white blood cell counts and it’s then that you’re really susceptible to normal infections and they’re life threatening because you don’t have that immune protection.”
Dr Mulchay said the facility would be the only one of its kind in Australia.
He said the active ingredient for the medication would be made in Adelaide.
“There are probably two similar facilities in Australia that use a different manufacturing process, but this will be state-of-the art,” Dr Mulchay said.
“It’s the only one of its type in Australia, using the background of the living organism that we use.
“This pegfilgrastim we make here in Adelaide so we make the intermediate and then we work with our sister facility in Zagreb, where they put the chemical on the peg and put it into pre-fill syringes but we make the active ingredient here.”
Health Minister Jack Snelling said the expansion was a sign of job security into South Australia’s future.
“This is a wonderful sign of the transition of the South Australian economy to the jobs of the future — jobs of the future in pharmaceuticals and health industries,” Mr Snelling said.
“The Government, a few years ago now, made a very conscious decision that really we had a unique opportunity, that we had a proud history in medical research, to actually find opportunities to commercialise that research.
“We indentified health research as a component of the economy that was growing really quickly.”

Regatta Park - Emu Plains
The Regatta Park Picnic Reserve has picnic and barbecue areas with amenities and views of the Nepean River and historic Victoria Bridge, which was built in 1867 after all previous bridges were washed away. Most areas are fully grassed with good off road parking. There are large open areas good for family picnics and access to walks along the river.
No kiosks on site, however drinks and refreshments can be purchased at nearby stores or from mobile vendors that visit the reserve. The park can be booked for picnics, weddings and other functions by calling Penrith City Council.

Texas A&M University is being rocked this week by a flurry of accusations by women who said they suffered sexual assault and misconduct while students at the school, and that what they described as the administration’s weak response toward their assailants left them feeling alone and traumatized.
The outpouring of complaints began when a student, Hannah Shaw, posted an account last week of her interaction with the school administration after she learned that a member of the school’s swim team, who she said assaulted her three years ago, rejoined the team. After being suspended for a semester, the man was permitted to return to campus, she wrote.
"I only wish this wasn’t something I share in common with so many other students," she added.
Shaw’s string of tweets quickly went viral. By Wednesday, it had been retweeted nearly 16,000 times.
Many of the 500 comments expressed support for her, and outrage at the university for its handling of the incident. Several other women added their stories as well.
"I was disappointed in my university when they had the audacity to tell me to my face with tears in my eyes that the guy who sexually assaulted me who admitted it and was found guilty for sexual misconduct and rape in the hearing was suspended and not expelled from the school," wrote a woman who, contacted by the Statesman, asked that her name not be used.
A former student, Abbie Hillis, said she contacted Shaw after seeing the post. "I wrote to her and told her I had a similar story," she said in an interview, in which she consented to the use of her name.
After a third woman added her story, Hillis, a 2012 graduate of the university who said the university took no action when she reported being assaulted at an off-campus party, said she started a Facebook page Tuesday morning to collect the stories. She said more than 200 people had joined, with about a dozen women adding their complaints about the school’s response to incidents in which they, too, said they’d been assaulted.
UT reinstates student suspended for sexual assualt after lawsuit
On Tuesday, a petition on Change.org written as a letter to university President Michael Young and other administrators asked for the school to strengthen its policies for sexual assault claims. "As members of the Aggie Family, we do not want TAMU to be branded as a community that condones sexual misconduct," concluded the letter, which had been signed by more than 600 people as of Wednesday afternoon.
Shaw then appeared on The Today Show Wednesday morning with another woman, Meghan Romere, who said she had been subjected to unwanted sexual advances in 2016 while working as an academic tutor for the Aggie football team. She said a wide receiver exposed himself during a tutoring session.
"We were alone, in a secluded room in the Nye Academic Center," she wrote on Twitter. "He was easily twice my size, and sitting approximately two feet from me when he began masturbating in front of me, posturing in a threatening manner, and speaking to me in a way that made me extremely uncomfortable. I abruptly ended the session and left the room, trying to stay calm as he followed me out."
Romere said she quit her tutoring job soon after. She added that another tutor had a similar incident happen to her.
According to the Dallas Morning News, the attorney for wide receiver Kirk Merritt argued the player had a bad case of jock itch, and the university had downgraded the incident from sexual exploitation to sexual harassment. Although Merritt was suspended during the school’s investigation of the incident, he was allowed to briefly rejoin the team. He was later dismissed, and transferred to another university.
In a written statement, Texas A&M said student privacy laws prohibited it from commenting on individual cases, but that "Texas A&M investigates every claim of sexual misconduct. When violations are confirmed, sanctions are imposed in all cases. A conduct review panel comprised of staff members determines sanctions on a case-by-case basis in consultation with all parties. All persons involved have the right to appeal."
According to Shaw’s account, after the swim team member assaulted her she did not report it to the police, however, the university’s Title IX board found her story believable and suspended the man for a semester.
In a response posted on his law office’s Facebook page, the man’s Bryan attorney, Craig Greaves, described the encounter as consensual. He said the two students met on Tinder in September 2015 and returned to the man’s apartment, where they had sex.
Afterwards, Greaves wrote, Shaw "was upset because she wanted to remain at the residence and ‘cuddle’" and did not get a "goodbye kiss."
When the swimmer returned to campus and rejoined the team, Shaw said she complained to administrators but only received an insulting letter back from an associate athletic director.
"I regret your displeasure with the perceived impact, and I wish you all the best as you continue to seek healing," Lori Williams wrote, according to Shaw’s Twitter screen grab of what she said was a copy of the exchange.

Louisiana authorities are investigating the death of Nathan Millard, a Georgia father-of-five whose decomposed body was found rolled up in a carpet in a vacant lot in South Baton Rouge.
Officials want to speak with Derrick Perkins, who was seen driving a 2003 Toyota Camry near the location where Millard was found.
Perkins is not currently considered a “person of interest” in the case, but authorities believe he may have information about Millard’s final hours.
Perkins is also being sought for probation violation, criminal damage to property, three counts of access device fraud, and unauthorized use of a motor vehicle.
Police do not suspect foul play in Millard’s death, but the official cause of death is pending the completion of a full autopsy.
Millard’s family has said investigators told them he likely died of an overdose. Police Capt. Kevin Heinz said investigators believe Millard died at another location and that someone moved his body to the vacant lot.
On the night of February 22, Millard visited Happy’s Irish Pub with a client after attending a Louisiana State University basketball game.
He left the pub alone around 11:30 p.m. after being cut off and headed back to his nearby hotel but was not heard from the next morning.
Last week, video emerged of Millard walking with a mystery man along Florida Boulevard in Baton Rouge shortly before his disappearance.
Millard’s death has left his wife, Amber, their 7-year-old daughter, two teenage sons from a previous marriage, and two teenage stepsons. Police may still charge a person for something like illegal disposal of human remains.

It wasn't going to last, we know the largest mass extinction ever recorded was om the horizon. Why did it happen? The favorite hypothesis is that a series of massive volcanic eruptions deposited rocks now known as the Siberian Traps, released gases causing planet-wide acid rain showers that damaged the biosphere.
But there was no fossil evidence of this acid rain - until now. Rock samples from the Dolomite Mountains in Italy contain evidence of an organic compound called vanillin, which confirms that the planet at the time of the end Permian extinction underwent successive acid rain showers. The new evidence suggests that the soils on land were very acidic, killing the ecosystem and the animals that depended on it.

Professor Mark Sephton, co-author of the paper from the Department of Earth Science and Engineering at Imperial College London, said, “The end of the Permian was a major catastrophe for Earth, which saw nearly all plant and marine life obliterated. Acid rain destroyed the delicate ecosystem on land, making the soils as acidic as lemon juice or vinegar, which killed off nearly everything.”
The rock samples the team analyzed were taken from the Dolomite Mountains, but originally formed from marine sediments off the coast of Pangea. These marine sediments contained remains of plant matter in soil that was washed into the ocean at the time of the Permian extinction, compacting together to form the rocks.
The team analyzed the ratio of vanillin to vanillic acid in the rock samples. Vanillin is an organic compound found in plants and a constituent component of vanilla. Following the death of plants, vanillin normally oxidizes to vanillic acid. However, this oxidation process is very slow when conditions are too acidic. The team found mostly vanillin preserved in successive layers in the rock samples, suggesting very acidic conditions in the soil. The team think that acid rain may have been the cause of this acidity.
The next step will see the researchers carrying out similar studies on rocks from around the world to determine in more detail the global extent of acidity in the environment at the end of the Permian period.

We hauled the water heater because they want $70.00 just to deliver. Installed it properly and it didn't work. Had an electrician come out and check it. Everything was installed correctly. He checked the thermostat and it didn't work. There was no way I was going to drain it and take it back, or call Sears repair and wait until they could get someone out. I had already been with out hot water for 2 days. The electrician got it going for me.

Hopefully it will last longer than 6 years but at this price range and the simplicity of changing it out, and the fact that mine is installed in a place that it wont destroy my house if it leaks, If I get 6 years I'll consider it a good investment.
After my Kenmore 20+ year old hot water heater ceased to function, I knew I had to get a new Kenmore hot water heater. It only took a short time until I had hot water again! There have been no problems with the new heater, and I actually think the new heater works better than the old one did. We have a large household and we would run out of hot water quite often. With the new heater we have not yet run out of hot water.
Kenmore hot water heaters last longer than their warranty. If it's a 6 year heater it will last 12 years. At Sears they always have someone to install or deliver your product without a high added cost.
Installation was very easy and it has been working like a charm for two weeks. Easy to adjust the factory set thermostats. Lots of hot water despite 3 people taking showers plus a dishwasher and washer.
55 gal. Elec. water heater well insulated fits nicely in the area we have in our garage. We have a family of four the 55 gals. Will provide ample hot water for our family.
This water heater seems fine. It was a bit taller than our old Sears water heater but, it installed fine. The "pre-setting" needed to be adjusted to make the water hotter but, the instructions were easy to follow. The best part was that we were able to get this in one day and have hot water the next day. This is not something you want to wait for.
