• Construction Workers Admit They Installed a Stink Bomb with Chinese Drywall

  The only way to hang Chinese drywall.It's something of a cliché by now to think of Florida developers as the bad guys. But as homeowners start blaming them for the defective Chinese drywall rotting their homes, it is literally the stench that has led them to contractors.Not the developer's stench, technically, but the rotten eggs smell that fills homes built with Chinese drywall like a flea bomb. The smell is sulfur dioxide, which can potentially become toxic bottled up in homes and has been bl

  Hey, sorry for not keeping the pump primed on this thing. Deep into one of those cover stories we do. But I do want to share with you my holiday card (holy shiite, this year flew by, eh?). It's from my stock broker. Happy holidays, folks. [Also, on a related note, the SunSentinel proclaims today on the front page and on its home page that we -- as in South Floridians -- favor a bailout for the Big Three auto companies. Did they conduct a scientifically legitimate poll to determine this? Na

• Is Big Tobacco Using Healthy Start to Do Its Dirty Work?

  Like many nonprofits that depend on government funding, the Florida Association of Healthy Start Coalitions is facing cuts. The organization that focuses on prenatal and infant health may have 22 percent trimmed from its 2009 budget.  Unlike other nonprofits, however, the organization has proposed a solution. Healthy Start recently wrote to Governor Crist asking him to start charging a 40-cent-per-pack tax on cigarettes made by small tobacco companies.  The country's three biggest

• Chocolate-Dipped Bottle Of Champagne

  Champagne and chocolates constitute the dynamic duo of no-brainers for Valentine's Day. Peterbrooke Chocolatier at 227 Aragon Ave. in Coral Gables has come up with a novel way to team the two: A chocolate-dipped champagne bottle. Now through February 14, customers can bring in their favorite bubbly -- or wine (and maybe beer too, in case you've got a wild one on your hands) -- and have it covered in food-grade wrap,  dipped in gourmet dark, milk or white chocolate blends, and decorated (as

• Boca Lawyer, Not Carl Bernstein, Broke Chinese Drywall Story

  Suddenly, "made in China" doesn't have a good ring to it.In the Hollywood-produced movie about the Chinese drywall controversy, I'm guessing the story will be broken wide open by Zac Efron as ace reporter Carl Bernstein Jr. That would be supercool for me and all the other Efron fans. But in real life, a lawyer in Boca broke the story, which totally does not make for a Hollywood plot.Allison Grant is the lawyer in the real-life version. She owns a rental property in Port St. Lucie, and back in Oc

Back in March, Consentino responded to a letter and phone call from one particularly infuriated "customer" questioning whether the celeb chef would be taking foie gras off the menu at his San Francisco restaurant, Incanto. When Consentino, an ardent defender of all things offal, responded with a "no," the angry caller informed him tha

• West Palm Condo Building Plagued by Chinese Drywall

  So far, the problems with Chinese drywall in South Florida appear to have been confined to single-family homes. Sure, some entire developments, like Heron Bay in Parkland, might turn out to have been built with the defective drywall. But the reports of Chinese drywall in South Florida have so far been confined to homes.Not anymore. The management company at The Whitney condo building in downtown West Palm Beach recently sent a letter to residents warning that there's Chinese drywall present in t

• Rape Victim Sees Doctor, Loses Health Insurance

The next thing she remembers is waking up on a roadside with cuts and bruises that indicated she may have been raped. As a safety precaution, she visited her doctor, who prescribed a month's worth of anti-AIDS medicine. And that's about when things went from horrible to unbelievably fucked.When Turner went to cha
