For the last month in Danville there has been a strong word of mouth buzz about That Bar. What Bar ? What bar? That Bar is the name of a new bar located @ 148 Prospect Ave. Whats so special about That Bar? Well 1st they have dueling pianos every Thursday – Sunday night. The only other place I have seen a dueling piano bar has been Las Vegas.  Second  they have spent months building out the old Vinoteca location to bring you an exciting new experience. Another reason people are buzzing is because of the  management staff of Stephany Emig & Ashlee Fox. I had a chance to meet them at The Danville Area Chamber golf Tournement @ Diablo Country Club. That Bar brings fresh, hot fun to Danville. Don’t Miss out! visit: That Bar

While we’re all aware of the health risks posed by lead, you might not realize that even common renovation projects can be hazardous in terms of lead. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), activities like sanding, cutting and demolition can create dangerous lead dust and chips by disturbing lead-based paint, which can be harmful to both adults and children.

As a Member of the Top 5 in Real Estate Network®, I am committed to keeping my clients informed on current regulations pertaining to home safety issues. To protect against the lead risk, on April 22, 2008, EPA issued a rule requiring the use of lead-safe practices and other actions aimed at preventing lead poisoning. Under the rule, as of April 22, 2010, contractors performing renovation, repair and painting projects that disturb lead-based paint in homes, child-care facilities and schools built before 1978 must be EPA certified and must follow specific work practices to prevent lead contamination.

If you are embarking on a home-improvement project, be sure to use certified renovators who are trained by EPA-approved training providers to follow lead-safe work practices. Lead dust can form when lead-based paint is dry scraped, dry sanded or heated. Dust also forms when painted surfaces bump or rub together. Lead chips and dust can get on surfaces and objects that people touch. Settled lead dust can re-enter the air when people vacuum, sweep or walk through it.

Make sure that your renovators employ the following practices – and you, too, if you’re a do-it-yourselfer:

• Contain the work area
• Minimize dust
• Clean up thoroughly

According to the EPA, to permanently remove lead hazards, you must hire a certified lead “abatement” contractor. Abatement (or permanent hazard elimination) methods include removing, sealing or enclosing lead-based paint with special materials. Just painting over the hazard with regular paint is not enough.

For more information on the dangers of lead and the new regulations regarding remodeling, please visit www.epa.gov, or e-mail me directly. I encourage you to pass this important information along to anyone you know who might be renovating their home soon.

Every now and again I weigh in about how the communities we cover at Ad Age use — or don’t use — Twitter. I’ve written a bit about the perils of agencies and marketers not owning their Twitter handles.

But as the majority of marketers make their way on to Twitter and settle into sending out a steady stream of 140-character updates, a bigger question looms: Whom the heck should they follow?

This past summer we’ve had so many people approach us while filming downtown. They get curious when they see us shooting video with what looks like a DSLR. To put all the questions to rest we shoot all our commercials, video’s and movies on the Canon T2i and 7 D. Above is a new short film by Porsche shot on the 7D to promote the new

918 Spyder Hybrid

Having a hot summer is awesome, but when there is no water, things can take a turn to the bad side of things. Several regions in western and central Russia have declared a state of emergency as forest fires are sweeping over 500 miles of land. More than 1,000 homes have been destroyed and 30 people have tragically lost their lives as Russian authorities scramble to contain the spread. Don’t throw lit cigs out of your car windows, kids.
