Weird Coincidence: Robin Williams Family Guy 'Suicide' Episode Airs Before Actor's Death








Robin Williams ‘Family Guy’ episode, depicting a suicide attempt, aired on BBC shortly before death was announced

BBC Three aired an episode of the animated comedy prominently featuring the Oscar winner just moments before news of his death was made public. A spokeswoman for the network called the timing an ‘uncanny coincidence.’




In an instance of unfortunate timing, a BBC network aired a “Family Guy” episode about Robin Williams just moments before his death was announced.

As first reported by the Mirror, BBC Three aired "Family Guy Viewer Mail #2" on Monday, which has a segment about Peter Griffin being bestowed with the ability to turn everything he touches into Robin Williams.

Even though Griffin receives the Midas-esque power because he’s a fan of the “Mork & Mindy” star, he soon becomes overwhelmed by the Williams’ clones overtaking the town. In an eerie coincidence, Griffin tries to kill himself, then resorts to cutting off his hands, in order to rid himself of his powers.

The episode’s airing occurred just a few minutes before news broke that the Oscar winner had died, which at the time was being reported as a suspected suicide. (The actor’s passing was officially confirmed as a suicide Tuesday.)
According to the Mirror, the episode aired in the U.K. at 11:25 p.m., with the news about the actor’s death breaking at around 11:50 p.m



Many fans took to Twitter to express their shock at the coincidence.
“So weird that the family guy episode about robin Williams was on last night just before it was announced he was dead,” wrote one TV viewer.

“(A bit) weirded out by the news of Robin Williams' death after last nights episode of family guy being all about him?” another person tweeted.

A spokeswoman for the BBC told the Mirror that the episode’s timing was an "uncanny coincidence." She also said that the network will not re-air the episode later in the week, as had been originally scheduled.

The 20 factors of True Awakening discussed are:

01. Being "Awake" means knowing about the Occult, and understanding that there are both Light and Dark aspects to it.

02. Being "Awake" means knowing that Truth is singular, objective, and exists independently of our perceptions of it.

03. Being "Awake" means knowing the True Self and understanding its connection to All.

04. Being "Awake" means knowing that neither the Physical nor Spiritual realities take precedence over each other.

05. Being "Awake" means being out of Ego-Identification and Ego-Attachment.

06. Being "Awake" means exercising discernment and judgement.

07. Being "Awake" means being mentally free of all False Religions.

08. Being "Awake" means knowing there is no such thing as Knowledge which is “negative.”

09. Being "Awake" means knowing the causal factors that have led to the current Human Condition.

10. Being "Awake" means understanding and living in harmony with Natural Law.

11. Being "Awake" means knowing and living both Pillars of Enlightenment.

12. Being "Awake" means knowing that “Authority” is an illegitimate illusion, and that all Government is Slavery.

13. Being "Awake" means recognizing the critical importance of Free Will and personal responsibility.

14. Being "Awake" means knowing that the so-called “negative” emotions serve a critically important purpose.

15. Being "Awake" means knowing that True Enlightenment is not about pursuing bliss in a world that is currently filled with suffering.

16. Being "Awake" means knowing what True Forgiveness really means.

17. Being "Awake" means knowing the difference between what cannot be changed and what should be changed.

18. Being "Awake" means caring enough to take real-world action to create real-world change.

19. Being "Awake" means knowing that True Enlightenment is not only about improving yourself, but also about influencing others to improve themselves.

20. Being "Awake" means knowing that True Enlightenment does not equate to perfection.

Insulating Concrete Forms (ICFs)

ICF_blockEnd view of typical preassembled flat wall ICF block
Insulating concrete forms (ICFs) result in cast-in-place concrete walls that are sandwiched between two layers of insulation material. These systems are strong and energy efficient. Common applications for this method of construction are low-rise buildings, with property uses ranging from residential to commercial to industrial. Traditional finishes are applied to interior and exterior faces, so the buildings look similar to typical construction, although the walls are usually thicker.

Overview and History

Insulating concrete forms, or ICFs, are forms used to hold fresh concrete that remain in place permanently to provide insulation for the structure they enclose. Their history dates back to after World War II, when blocks of treated wood fibers held together by cement were used in Switzerland. In the 1940s and 1950s, chemical companies developed plastic foams, which by the 1960s allowed a Canadian inventor to develop a foam block that resembles today’s typical ICFs. Europeans were developing similar products around the same time.

In the 1980s and 1990s, some American companies got involved in the technology, manufacturing blocks and panels or planks. By the mid-1990s, the Insulating Concrete Form Association (ICFA) was founded to do research and promotion of the products, working toward building code acceptance. They also worked with the Portland Cement Association to build awareness of this type of construction. Although there were some obstacles—costs could be greater than frame construction because people didn’t understand the system, builders had to work closely to get code approval, and materials were proprietary—the number of insulating concrete forms producers grew. As a result, competition increased and costs moderated.

The new companies developed variations and innovations to distinguish one system from another. Over time, some ICF manufacturers consolidated, leading to a smaller number of larger companies. Because insulating concrete forms systems offered performance benefits like strength and energy efficiency and were initially more expensive to construct, the first target market was high end home construction. Custom home clients were willing and able to pay extra for the premium quality. As word of ICFs grew and innovations reduced manufacturing and installation costs, builders began using the forms for mid-price-range homes. Some production builders now create entire large developments using insulating concrete forms.

In the past, single family residential accounted for about 70 percent of ICF construction—versus about 30 percent for commercial or multifamily uses—but the products are suitable for all these applications, and larger buildings appear to be a growing market for ICFs. They have become popular for a variety of commercial projects including apartments or condos, hotel/motel, retail, and even movie theaters.

Advantages

Insulating concrete forms provide benefits to builders and building owners alike.
Owners appreciate:
  • strong walls
  • disaster resistance and safety
  • mold, rot, mildew, and insect resistance (below grade can require termite protection)
  • sound-blocking ability
  • overall comfort
  • energy efficiency and resultant cost savings
Contractors and builders like:
  • fast, easy construction
  • flexibility
  • light weight for easy shipping and erection
  • compatibility with carpenter trades
  • ability to meet higher energy code mandates with less complicated construction

Sizes, Components, Configurations, Systems

ICF_systems
Insulating concrete forms systems can vary in their design. "Flat" systems yield a continuous thickness of concrete, like a conventionally poured wall. The wall produced by "grid" systems has a waffle pattern where the concrete is thicker at some points than others. "Post and beam" systems have just that – discrete horizontal and vertical columns of concrete that are completely encapsulated in foam insulation. Whatever their differences, all major ICF systems are engineer-designed, code-accepted, and field-proven.

The two insulating faces are separated by some type of connector or web. Large preassembled blocks stack quickly on site. Panels or planks ship more compactly, but must be assembled into formwork on the job. Foam is most often expanded polystyrene (EPS). It can be extruded polystyrene (XPS), which is stronger, but also more costly. A few products are made with recycled foam or wood fiber in a nod to green construction. The salvaged material is formed into blocks with cement, making units ideal for direct application of plaster finishes.

The ties that interconnect the two layers of insulated forming material can be plastic, metal, or additional projections of the insulation. There are advantages to each type of material, but one current trend incorporates hinges into the ties that allow pre assembled forms to fold flat for easy, less costly shipping.

The joints between individual forms can feature interlocking teeth or a tongue and groove configuration molded into the forming material, or simple butt jointed seams. Many manufacturers have developed units with universal interlocks that allow the forms to stack whether the form is flipped one way or the other. These “reversible” forms save time during placement and prevent improper alignment. Special units for corners, floors, and roof assemblies round out the product lines and improve the engineering of the system and energy efficiency of the final construction.
ICF_install                ICF_corner
Stacking preassembled ICF formwork               Example of preassembled corner blocks
Block sizes are typically on the order of 16 inches high by 48 inches long. The cavities are commonly six or eight inches wide but can be larger or smaller as needed. The foam faces are also capable of being varied, but 1-7/8- to 2-3/4-inch thickness is a usual range. So an 8-inch cavity with a two-inch foam face on either side would lead to a 12-inch formed wall. More recently some systems have developed the capability of offering thicker layers of foam to enhance performance.

After finishes are applied inside and out, typical final wall thickness is greater than one foot. This means that the depth of window and door surrounds have to be wider than what is used for traditional frame construction, with resulting deep window sills—a nice feature for homeowners or other building occupants.

Installation, Connections, Finishes

ICF_waffle
Installation of insulating concrete form systems is similar to masonry construction. Builders usually start at the corners and place a layer at a time to build up the wall. Some units, particularly those that form a “waffle” or post–and–beam concrete wall profile must be glued together or taped at the joints during assembly. Most systems today feature uniform cavities that improve flowability of the concrete, reduce the need for adhesives during stacking, resulting in flat concrete walls of consistent thickness.     
Waffle grid ICF block creates variable concrete wall thickness
ICF_pumpOnce the forms are in place and braced and required reinforcement installed, concrete is pumped into the forms. Even with the bracing, forms need to be filled at an appropriate rate based on formwork manufacturer recommendation to prevent misalignment and blowouts. Product advancements and improved construction techniques have greatly reduced the potential for form failure. It seldom occurs when manufacturer recommendations are followed. Reinforcement in both directions maintains the wall strength. Openings for doors and windows require bucks to surround the opening, contain the fresh concrete during placement, and provide suitable material for fastening window or door frames.
Placement of concrete in ICFs with pump
Block-outs are needed when bearing pockets are required for floor or roof items. Insulating concrete form systems are compatible with concrete floors, and wood or steel floor joists. In smaller buildings, ledger assemblies for floor framing attachment mounted to the side of the formwork are common. In larger buildings or those for commercial uses, steel weld plates or bolt plates can be pre installed within the formwork so they become embedded in the fresh concrete.
ICF_steel  ICF_plates
Embedded weld plates for structural steel support
ICF_wiringFinishes are usually attached via the flat ends of metal or plastic ties embedded in the forming material. Finishes can alternately be furred out with furring strips. Almost any type of finish can be used with these systems. Wallboard remains the most common interior finish and is the most typical means of meeting the code requirement for a 15-minute fire barrier over plastic foams surrounding living spaces. Exteriors are much more varied and depend on customer preference. Cement plasters are applied over ICFs in a manner similar to other sheathed systems.
Utilities are typically recessed into cutouts in foam after concrete has been placed

Sustainability and Energy

A major appeal of ICFs is the potential for reducing energy to heat and cool the building. Some estimates place the savings at 20 percent or more. The R-value for a typical Insulating concrete form is about 20. The walls can often have high air tightness 10 to 30 percent better than frame-with compatible windows, doors, and roof. As a result, assuming a 100-year service life, one single-family ICF home has the potential to save about 110 tons of CO2 compared to a traditional wood frame home. This more than offsets the CO2 associated with the production of the cement used to make the concrete. See graph below.

C02 Savings of ICF vs. Frame Home

Thermal mass is one of the reasons that Insulating concrete forms work so well to maintain a consistent temperature; insulation is the other. As the graph above demonstrates, this saves quite a bit of energy associated with heating and cooling, which not only saves money, but also provides a more comfortable interior.
Insulating concrete forms save trees because the wood frame is eliminated. Insulating concrete forms systems can also contain a decent amount of recycled materials. Concrete can be made using supplementary cementing materials like fly ash or slag to replace a portion of the cement. Aggregate can be recycled (crushed concrete) to reduce the need for virgin aggregate. Most steel for reinforcement is recycled. Some polystyrenes are recycled.
From a sustainability viewpoint, the reduced operating energy, reduction of CO2, long service life, and use of local and recycled materials make ICF construction environmentally beneficial.

Building Codes

When ICFs were first introduced to North America, codes officials were not familiar with the system, so there was a learning curve associated with approval. As reinforced concrete walls, Insulating concrete forms are quite strong. But they are built in an entirely different manner than wood frame walls and require different evaluation criteria. Many form manufacturers performed testing and prepared Evaluation Service Reports or something equivalent to that as a way to demonstrate the wall system’s integrity. Groups that generate these reports include the International Code Council Evaluation Service, Inc. and the Canadian Construction Materials Centre.
As insulating concrete forms have increased in popularity, code approval has become much simpler. For one and two family dwellings, the International Residential Code (IRC) addresses foundations and below grade walls in Section R404 and above grade walls in R611 for homes up to two stories plus a basement. For larger buildings like multi-family and commercial structures, an engineer is typically required for structural design and an Evaluation Service Report documenting approval of the ICF for the type of construction mandated for the project will often be needed to finalize approval.

ICF Projects

Sustainable Dream Home

ICF_res_projectThe career demands of a young married couple dictated finding a suitable city residence, one that had plenty of space and was located close to downtown Chicago. With a shorter commute, the parents would be able to spend more family time with their two children. Knowing that they planned to live there for at least 15 to 20 years, the owners recognized early in the process that they wanted the home to have energy efficiency, quality, and permanence. They determined insulating concrete form (ICF) walls provided the best performance for their needs. More about the ICF home.






Converting to Concrete Keeps Residents Safe and Warm

ICF_schccIt may seem obvious, but if you start construction in Wisconsin in October, the weather is likely to pose a challenge. Such was the case for the Sauk County Health Care Center (SCHCC), a single-story assisted living facility located in Reedsburg, Wisconsin, 50 miles north of Madison, Wisconsin. Yet even before ground broke or the temperature started dropping, ICFs gained favor with the Sauk County Board: facility supervisors felt strongly that providing a fire-safe, disaster-resistant building was the most important thing they could do to assure the well-being of their residents. More on the SCHCC.

Designed in the style of a French Chateau, Pensmore features an enormous 72,000 sq. ft. of living space on four levels.
On a hilltop in southern Missouri, a massive construction project is underway. Begun in late 2010, the outside walls are now complete and the roof sheeted in, but crews estimate it won't be ready for occupancy for another 18 months.

All of the exterior walls were formed with ICFs, so the industry is receiving considerable attention as part of the national media buzz. The project was covered in the New York Times and Today Show, as well as other national and regional media. Because of its size—a whopping 72,000 sq. ft.—and the owner's business—he recently sold his firm that developed software for military and intelligence-gathering applications—speculation from neighbors about its intended purpose runs rampant. Some suggest it's a military bunker; others propose it's a nuclear shelter for VIPs, a reception facility for extraterrestrial visitors, or even a getaway for local boy Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.



Quality products are used throughout the project, including Form-A-Drain footings and Platon, a dimple drain sheet which was used as an underslab barrier and on vertical below-grade surfaces.
Owner Steven Huff dismisses those ideas as "goofy." He says it's just a second home, dubbed "Pensmore," and he wanted plenty of room for friends and family. That shouldn't be a problem, because Pensmore is one of the largest private residences in the country, with 13 bedrooms, 14 bathrooms and enough amenities to entertain a small city.

He says he picked the rural location because it's just a short distance from where he grew up. Plus, he adds, there's very little zoning and no mandated building inspections.
Huff discovered ICFs when researching building materials for the home. He was so impressed with the technology, and vertical ICF construction in particular, that after he chose TF Concrete Forming Systems as the ICF supplier, he bought a majority share of the company, and now serves as TF's chairman of the board. He also redesigned the form for improved energy efficiency and to better accommodate the subcontractor trades. The new version is called TransForm.







Pensmore now doubles as a site to field-test cutting-edge technology on a commercial scale. Concrete cores are a full 12 inches thick, and reinforced with asteel fiber admixture. A combined nine inches of exterior and interior insulation means energy consumption will be relatively low. The home will be equipped to monitor interior temperature, energy consumption and heat collection to gauge its overall energy efficiency.



ICF towers were panelized on the ground, then carefully craned into place in sections.
The home site is not far from Joplin, Mo., scene of one of the nation's most deadly tornadoes, so disaster resistance is also something designers incorporated.

Huff says the two major design requirements were energy efficiency and strength without compromising either for the other.
"We wanted to build a large home that can withstand tornado-force winds and demonstrate that similar designs can be built cost effectively and be applied to schools and other public buildings," Huff says. "It's not feasible to continuously demolish and rebuild structures over time. If you can construct a building that will last for more than a century, that greatly reduces your operational costs and stands as the true definition of sustainable. We tried to build Pensmore with building materials that would maximize its longevity."
To maximize the quality of the footings and foundation, Huff chose CertainTeed's Platonand Form-A-Drain products.

"I'd used Platon before on an addition to my current home and was impressed by it," Huff says. "I wanted a good barrier underneath the slab foundation for protection from radon and to avoid moisture climbing up through the concrete. And, I wanted to try Form-A-Drain to see if having a leave-in foundation footing form would save us time and money, as well as take advantage of the product's water and radon evacuation properties. Everything went well with the installation, and I look forward to seeing how well they perform after Pensmore is finished."


The products were applied by Advanced Concrete Technology, Inc., a nearby foundation contractor. In fact, most of the construction has been done by local contractors that wanted to learn how to work with ICFs. Wall installation crews were a mix of local labor and experienced TF installers who were learning the finer points of building with the redesigned wall system.
"Any framing carpenter can learn and build with this product," says Mary Guccione, director of marketing and communications for TF Systems. "Contractors comfortable with concrete forms use this product with ease as well."

Significant sections of this French-style Chateau were panelized. As construction heights increased, it became common to build sections on the ground or on lower floors and hoist them into place with a crane.

Guccione reports, "TF Forming Systems set up an office in Ozark last year. Through the Pensmore project, TF has had the unique opportunity to talk to interested contractors, architects and building owners about the benefits of concrete and ICF construction, conversations that would have been more difficult had it not been for Pensmore. Once those people see the project in the building stage, they immediately understand the goal of building both residential and commercial structures that are hyper energy efficient and disaster resistant and they get excited. Everyone who sees it respects the goal and wants to support it."
