From Irish to Peluso and Baby Makes Three!

I just returned to my office after the quick celebrationof Alyssa Peluso’s baby shower. In the Duro Dynetradition, we celebrated this happy occasion withmany of Alyssa’s co-workers and ate cake. (We loveour cakes!).

Alyssa joined Duro Dyne in March of 2004 and wasswiftly promoted to Media Design Manager in 2006.Alyssa joined Duro Dyne in her early twenties, imme-diately adapting to the Duro Dyne culture. She hasproven to be a very welcome addition to the DuroDyne family.

After graduating college, Alyssa worked for ComputerAssociates and also did graphic design work for a not-for-profit organization called the International FaunaSociety. She joined Duro Dyne and immediatelydemonstrated an amazing talent for the artsand computer graphic design, along with anamazing work ethic and most importantlya fantastic personality. Alyssa hasrepeatedly been willing to take onadditional work and always with asmile on her face!

During her seven years here, Alyssastarted out as Alyssa Irish and wentfrom the single life to married lifeafter tying the knot with MikePeluso in 2010. Alyssa and Mike areexpecting their “little one” inSeptember and she promises to beback to work in three months. However,there were no guarantees that I wouldnot bother her during her leave. I know wewill all need some help to keep our print ads,

literature design, web design, show display design,show scheduling and a sundry of other items Alyssatakes care of, under control.

I wish Alyssa and Mike the very best with their new addition.

How to Cool YourselfDuring this Summer’sHeat WaveAs fires ravage Arizona and sweltering heatsettles into many areas across the country, a newstudy published in the journal Climate Changetoday by Stanford scientists finds that large areasof the globe will warm up so quickly that eventhe coolest summers will be hotter than thehottest summers of the past 50 years.

Here’s some tips to remember:

Use light-colored roofing. If you have the choice,choose a lighter roof or roof coating. It willreflect sunlight rather than absorbing it.

Insulate your home. A home that has well-insu-lated walls and attic will actually keep the heatout of the house in hot seasons. Just imagineyour home as a gigantic styrofoam cooler! Thereare lots of insulation options to choose from,including types that can be conveniently blowninto your walls without much hassle. Anotherbonus is that there may be government grants tohelp offset the cost of this kind of upgrade.

Plant trees. Leafy trees can shade your home oryard and keep things considerably cooler.Deciduous trees (those that lose their leaves inwinter) will let sunlight through in winter whenit's desired and create shade in summer.

Don't put unshaded patios of concrete, stone, orbrick right against the house where they willref lect sun heat onto walls or windows,especially on the south or west sides. Rocks,stone, concrete, etc. also retain heat longer thanplanted areas after the sun goes down.

If you already have such a feature in your land-scape, plant a tree, so that it and that side of thebuilding will be shaded, especially during thehot parts of the day.

Awnings and porches can also provide shade.Build any summer porch on the north side ofyour house, on the shady side. The south andwest sides of your home will generally be thehottest and most in need of shade, so plan thelocation of windows and exterior doors in yourhome.

Send up the cool air.If your home has a basement and centralair system, have an HVAC professionaladd a cold air return in the basement topull the naturally cool air that falls downand recycle it into the rest of your homeby simply setting your furnace to "fan"

mode.

Install an individual room ventilation sys-tem with a cool air intake, hot air exhaust

and temperature and humidity controls. Thiswill bring the night-time air in and let the A/Ctake over in the middle of the day.

Install a whole-house fan. This will push hot air

into the attic, where it dissipates via attic vents.To cool your house, open a door to the basement,and make sure that all doors between the base-ment and the room where the fan is located areopen. Turn it on at night and open downstairswindows, and that'll cool down the house.However, make sure that you've got good atticvents, or else your attic won't take the heat.

Install attic vents. It's amazing how much differ-ence a cool attic makes to the temperature of ahouse. It stops that uncomfortable feeling ofwhen you've got a cool house but you feel heatradiating from the roof.

Don't forget that the human race lived for many,many years without air conditioning. Within thelimits of your particular health situation, yourbody can acclimate to the summer increase intemperature. Just become accustomed to thefact that you may have to alter your activities andschedule to 'beat the heat'.
