LEED Buildings: Is the ‘Green’ All In Your Head?

A LEED-certified chemistry building on the MSU campus. Courtesy MSU . There’s nothing like conflicting information to give you a headache. Or maybe it’s the building where I work, a structure built in the 1970s. According to a Michigan State University study, I’d feel better if I worked in LEED-certified building. On the other hand, LEED buildings don’t pay enough attention to indoor air quality, says John Wargo, a professor at the Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies….

Just What We Needed Dept.: A Drive-Thru Car Museum

Sigh. While we write about a world after cars, where people live in walkable cities, Francesco Gatti is building a drive-thru museum in Nanjing, China. The whole thing is a cross between some complicated origami and a parking garage; one drives through exibits to the parking on the roof, then gets out of the car and looks at exhibits in the cube in the middle that takes up a small proportion of the building area. Of course it ramps down, so effort expended is minimal…. Read the full story on TreeHugger

Busta Rhymes Calls DJ Khaled’s Summer Jam Set ‘A Special Moment’

‘When we did that ‘All I Do Is Win’ remix, fire and brimstone!’ he tells MTV News backstage. By Shaheem Reid Busta Rhymes Photo: MTV News EAST RUTHERFORD, New Jersey — On Sunday night, after Busta Rhymes had ripped the stage with DJ Khaled and a host of others at Hot 97’s Summer Jam concert , the rap legend joked backstage with Trey Songz and gave his full play-by-play of what happened. ” ‘Stop the Party’ stopped the party this evening,” Busta said with an extra-raspy voice backstage at the New Meadowlands Stadium. “My voice is a little gone. They did warn the building that there was a tornado watch today. You know why they did that. The tornado came through! Busta came through and did what was necessary. With all due respect to everything else in the building, what was necessary had to get done. ‘Stop the Party’ flatlined the entire brand-new Giants Stadium. It’s only appropriate. Trey Songz, flatline! He came through and he bodied the building. Extremely appropriate.” Busta said the part of the show he was involved with was historic. “The Khaled set, I think a special moment we should acknowledge,” he said. “Despite the fact that the set in its entirety was incredible, I think we were very happy to see the homie Cam’ron. Flatline! Cam’ron, you bodied the building. The young homie Vado, great first look. You bodied the building. Mr. Ros

Some Shitty Acting and Nudity in a Movie Called Penthouse of the Day

Here’s some nudity in straight to DVD movie called Penthouse that will be hitting the DVD shelves of various fine retail stores in March….Here’s the bullshit synopsis…. Three lifelong friends inhabiting a penthouse apartment find themselves at odds when one of them attempts to move in with his girlfriend and another’s little sister makes a surprise visit. I don’t think you would have bought the shit, but figure if you were, I just saved you the solid 5.99 you would have paid when it went on sale two weeks after it was released and no one bought the shit… I guess there could be more nudity, I don’t know, I just know I am giving you a sneak peak and the highlight is that Kaley Cuoco is the only name I recognize in the shit and I dont think she’s getting naked in the clip because I was told it was Nikki Griffin, Lexi Baxter, Kaila Yu….also known as a bunch of sluts I’ve never heard of…..

Lady Gaga Met The Queen of the Day

Something is seriously wrong with the world when Lady Gaga gets to meet the Queen. Sure she’s some kind of court jester who targets the Queens and it seems almost fitting but seriously if I was the Royal Family which I’m not, my security detail would have killed this fucking monster as soon as it stepped foot in the building for fear that it was carrying an HIV filled syringe or whatever these weird fucking tranny pros use to protect themselves these days….

Drinking and Driving Ad That Makes Me Want To Drink and Drive of the Day

My neighbor got evicted and today is his last day, so I just went over for a celebratory cocktail, because lets face it, drinking has a huge part in why he has no money to pay his rent and the reason why he has a handful of complaints within the building and lawsuits outside of the building, because drunkenly breaking into the hot neighbor’s house and crawling into bed with her naked, is frowned upon and being drunk isn’t an excuse the law accepts. Either way, this commercial was on in the background of our drinking and it made me want to drink and drive, even though it is anti-drunk driving, not because I always want to drink and drive or because it’s like an adult, real life roller coaster, but because their party looks like shit and thethe slight chance there is that if I drank and drive I’d run over anyone one in this commercial sure its a stretch but it’s enough of a motivator to me….
