Not all clothes washers are created equal. Anyone who wants to slash their utility bills immediately, there is one, specific thing to look for when you shop for a new machine so you can Do Your Part on laundry day.
The average household does 400 loads of laundry each year which burns a lot of electricity and uses about 13,000 gallons of water. If you want to slash your energy use and cut your water costs in half, look for a clothes washer with the government's Energy Star rating.
You can find the Energy Star rating on certain front loading or top loading machines. They actually stream in the water instead of filling up the entire tubs. Most have no central agitators so you can also wash larger loads. The spin cycles actually work two to three times faster than conventional washers, so your clothes do not need as much time in the dryer.
In the end, you will cut $50 off of your utility bills each year and even more if you have a dryer that is more than 10-years-old. You will save enough water to fill three backyard pools over the life of the washer and you will save time by doing fewer loads of laundry.
Plus Energy Star rated clothes washers now come in wide range of colors and styles so they are actually fun to shop for. Now you can Do Your Part even when it comes to doing your laundry.

Fall Gardening Tasks
There's still time to plant fall bulbs - the ground doesn't really freeze until about Thanksgiving. Water them well and mulch after planting for great results in the spring.
Evergreens, roses, shrubs, perennial herbs, and rhubarb need a good soaking watering before the ground freezes. This is their last chance to get the moisture they need to keep them through the winter. The drying winds of winter really dry out the branches of evergreens so this is the one thing that you can do to take care of your plants for the winter.

The Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio announced today the entire list on 2013 nominees eligible for induction next year, and two Buccaneers, Warren Sapp and John Lynch were among 13 first-year eligible nominees.
Buccaneers defensive linemen Warren Sapp and safety John Lynch are among the 13 first-year eligible modern-era candidates nominated for the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2013.
The complete list of candidates for the Class of 2013 consists of 127 nominees. From that list the Pro Football Hall of Fame Selection Committee will choose 25 candidates who will advance as semifinalist nominees. The list of 25 semifinalist nominees will be announced in late November. That semifinalist list will be further reduced by a mail ballot to 15 modern-era finalists and announced in early January.
The Class of 2013 will be selected from the list of the 15 modern-era finalists plus the two senior nominees (former Kansas City Chiefs and Houston Oilers nose tackle Curley Culp and former Green Bay Packers and Washington Redskins linebacker Dave Robinson) who were selected last month by the Hall of Fame's Senior Selection Committee.
The actual voting for the Class of 2013 will be conducted at the Pro Football Hall of Fame Selection Committee's annual meeting, which will be held on Saturday, Feb. 2, 2013 the day before Super Bowl XLVII at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, La. The election results will be announced at a live announcement show immediately following the meeting.
While there is no set number for any class of enshrinees, the selection process by-laws provide that between four and seven new members will be selected.
The 2013 list of modern-era nominees includes 89 players, 14 coaches and 24 contributors, including former NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue and longtime team owners Bud Adams, Jr., Jack Kent Cooke, Ed DeBartolo, Jr., Robert Kraft, and Art Modell.
While a nominated player or coach must have been retired at least five consecutive seasons, a contributor, who is an individual who has made outstanding career contributions to pro football in capacities other than playing or coaching, may still be active in his pro football career. More information on the modern-era nominees can be found on the Hall of Fame's official website at Profootballhof.com.

Sap may have to wait because Michael Strahan will get in along with Charles Haley finally. If Too Tall Jones makes it then that's one too many D-lineman for one class.

I'm not sure if either one will make it in this go around. They both make our Ring of Honor though. Sapp has character issues which might hold him back for awhile and Lynch has too much competition; I hope I am wrong on this. Michael Strahan, Larry Allen, Bryant Young, Morten Andersen are solid picks for the Hall of Fame.

2-Stage Gas Furnace to 1-Stage Gas Furnace setting
Just had our HVAC contractor replace a 22 yr old Carrier single stage 92 efficiency gas furnace with a Carrier Performance 95 2 Stage ECM gas furnace. Currently using the old t-stat, Honeywell Chronotherm III (single stage). The contractor wired the furnace board to run off of the 1 stage t-stat.
We have a two story colonial with finished basement. Total space with basement 3300 sq feet. Average insulation. Reside in Central Maryland. We leave the t-stat set at a given temp and don't use the programmable features. Use to, but don't anymore.
If I understand correctly, the 2 stage furnace has a low stage and high stage burner...I'm thinking lower BTUs and higher BTUs. The low stage kicks in when the temp difference is nominal and the high stage kicks in when the temp difference is significant.
I'm not pleased with the system calling for heat as it goes to the low stage for heat 99% of the time since we don't do the programmable (i.e., a dramatic change in setting). I've notice the house is cooler....at least it feels that way. Kind of reminds me of the heat pump days in our townhouse. Just never got warm.
So (finally), my question is....can the furnace be wired/programmed to skip the low stage and run on the high stage.....without having to set the t-stat up X degrees to get the high stage to kick in? I would prefer to feel that roasty toasty blast of heat the way our old system ran. I know there are all the trade offs of economy and efficiency. I've read so many HVAC forums on 2 stage gas furnaces and 1 stage vs 2 stage t-stats that I have a headache and my eyes are red. LOL
Point is I've tried to learn and do my homework. I appreciate everyone's input.
Yes, it can be set to operate as a single stage.
Sounds like it wasn't set up right when installed though. Could be under fired in first stage.
If you have enough wires have the thermostat changed out to a 2 stage and get the most out of your system.If not go to a wireless thermostat, worth the money.

Beenthere - I'm wondering about the set up too. What does it mean "under fired" in first stage? I assume I know but would appreciate your explanation. Thanks.
TwincamDave - Why a wireless tstat? Any suggestions on brands (wireless & non-wireless)? If I do switch out the tstat, I'd like to stay with Honeywell...been happy with the Chronotherm III and Honeywell's are considered good. Looking at the Pro Vision 8000 series. Comments?

Could you please define in greater detail what you mean by "I've notice the house is cooler....at least it feels that way". Everywhere in the house it feels cooler? While sitting in your favorite chair it's cooler? The air coming out of the registers is cooler? The furnace quits running before the temperature in the house is what you set the thermostat too? As our trade's purpose is to supply comfort it is always important to understand what you, the customer, feels is not comfortable.
By using the old thermostat and your description of how the furnace is operating, what is happening is when the thermostat calls for the furnace to run there is a timing function that determines how long the furnace runs on low fire. After a certain amount of time has passed and the thermostat is still calling for heating, the furnace will change into high fire until the thermostat is satisfied. So yes, it is a function of temp difference but decided by time not temperature.
Yes, low fire means less BTU's, but it also means less air is being moved by the furnace through your duct work. This can in some cases cause comfort issues. The why is usually specific to the house. You lived with and became used to how the old furnace made the house feel for many years. This "comfort" was just not due to the furnace, it was also very dependent on the entire house, the duct work, the types and locations of the registers, where your furniture is placed, where you spend time in the house and you and your perceptions of "normal".
Yes, the furnace can be wired to go right to high stage. It will still be a 95% efficient furnace and you will still be seeing the advantages of the electrical savings of the ECM motor.
Once this is done and you've rested your eyes you might want to research why you felt the difference. You might find that maybe your duct work is located in a very cold area and on low fire the slower air was cooling off on it's way to the registers making the air coming out of them cool and uncomfortable. Maybe insulating your duct work could save you on your heating bills. Read about the benefits of having your forced air system balanced. All this means is that each room requires X amount of heat and your system delivers that X amount by delivering X amount of air to that room. Balancing of your system gets the right amount of heat to the right spot.Use the biggest hammer you like, pounding a square peg into a round hole does not equal a proper fit.

2_Stage Gas Furnace to 1-Stage Gas Furnace
Firecontrol -
Comfort is subjective I get that. The comparison is based on old furnace comfort vs new furnace comfort. There is a definite change to a cooler feel with the new system. I have taken temperature readings with a digital thermometer that has a base station and a wireless remote. The temp at the thermostat will read X while rooms on the first floor read X-2 degrees and rooms on the second floor read X-3 degrees. The readings are taken over several days to determine consistency. The duct work only has individual dampers in each floor register. The individual dampers are all open as in the old furnace. There are no main dampers on the duct work at the furnace. Everything with the duct system is the same in the new system as the old system.
Another reply suggested the system setup may be under fired in the 1st stage. I don't understand and would appreciate feedback on that.
And with the new 2 stage system being controlled through the furnace and not the 1-stage tstat, I understand the staging is a timing setup not temp setup. So would switching to a 2-stage tstat have a positive impact? If so, any suggestions on what tstat? I would lean toward a Honeywell Pro Vision 8000 series.
Learning that less air is being forced through the ducts on 1-stage is reassuring as that is definitely what I perceived. Now I know it's not my imagination.
Thank you in advance for any advice -

Most 2 stage furnaces (almost all of them are VS drive) operate at around 70% in low stage and 100% at high stage. This includes the gas firing part operating at 70% as well as the blower operating at 70%.
Most houses ductwork (how the air is delivered to each room) are not done right, rather done cheaply... builders find granite counter tops and SS appliances sell better than quality heat and AC).
The ideal set of circumstances is for the heat or AC cycle to run longer... thus circulating the air more thoroughly. Your old furnace blew 'hotter' air, yet it was not as efficient with fuel (even on high, the new furnace will not blow as 'hot' air)... this is the trade-off of newer furnaces... you can thank the govt for that one...
If it were me, I would just get used to the 'feel'... and after a while you will not notice it. If you really want it to feel more like the old one; then your installing contractor can change some things and make it run on high all the time. Some will disagree, however IMO you will save a small amount of fuel if you operate 2 stage... just it will feel different until you get used to it and do not notice it anymore.GA-HVAC-Tech

Quality work at a fair price with excellent customer service.
I hear this complaint a lot from homeowners. "My house feels cooler with my new 2 stage furnace". I have had a few who noticed an increase in fuel consumption too.
Most of the problem can be due to what Beenthere mentioned, most of them come badly underfired in low stage from the factory. If the technician is not proficient in the use of a combustion analyzer (optional training, not very many contractors take it), it will not get corrected upon install. Under fired simply means there is not enough fuel entering the burners. This also increases fuel consumption, sometimes dramatically and also increases the chance of the heat exchanger failing prematurely.
I have corrected many of them by tuning low and high stage correctly if the furnace has a variable speed inducer. Some of them have single speed inducers and those get locked into high fire since there is no way to tune it properly but to lock it into high fire.
You need to find a technician that has training in tuning furnaces with combustion analyzers. They should be able to make that furnace more comfortable for you.
Is your duct system in the basement? Or is it in a completely unconditioned space such as the attic or crawlspace?

Thank you all for the feedback and most importantly the resulting sanity check.
I'm going to proceed with two things -
1) contacting a qualified carrier technician to eval the stage one cycle to see about adjusting the settings (btu and time) a bit higher and shorter respectively; and
2) insulation eval of the attic just in case there can be some improvement there; I don't believe this will be significant but it can't hurt to cover all my bases.
After these two actions, I'll let the system settle in on me and then decide if I really want to go with a straight 1-stage system again. BTW, I've read from a lot of HVAC folks that studies show the 1-stage systems do provide better heat and are consistently more cost effective. Seems counter intuitive in today's technology, but could in reality be accurate.
Again, I really appreciate everyone's 2-cents. After accomplishing a steep learning curve on the topic, it was nice to have this forum to bounce my thinking around.

Switching to a 2-stage tstat would not improve what you're experiencing because by it's nature a 2-stage thermostat will bring first stage on at X°'s below set temperature and then the second stage X°'s cooler than the first stage. On the digital stats you can set this difference fairly close, but you still would be probably looking at no closer than 1 degree. So if you wanted it 70 in the house the second stage wouldn't kick on until it potentially dropped to 69 or 68. If your other thermostat turns the furnace on and off and it's accurate I'd suggest saving your money if the only reason you are contemplating changing it is to resolve the differences in temperature in different parts of the house. A simplified description of a thermostat is it's nothing more than a temperature controlled switch that turns the heat on and off. It can't resolve issues that are not related to the temperature sensed at the location it's mounted.
I didn't see where you said if the new furnace is the same BTU input (on high fire/second stage) as the old furnace or different. If the new one is the same, then even on high fire the air flow on the new furnace can be different (and in most cases less) than the old furnace. The old furnace had 3 or 4 different speeds that the blower could run at (amount of air it moved) and that was hard wired by the installer. The new furnace's blower speed is controlled by the electronics in the furnace. The control is programmed to run the blower at the speed needed to achieve the manufacturer's recommended air flow across the furnace in low and hire fire respectively. I said this because, I suggest you set the thermostat 5° above what the temperature is in the house. This will, in time, bring on the high fire and maximum blower speed. Once this happens go around the house and see if the air coming out of the registers is what you remember with the old furnace as far as the force of the air. If it's less, than you should get your duct work (dampers) balanced for how the new furnace operates. This can only go so far because of the 2 stage/speed that the new furnace operates at. It's one of those "balancing acts" where you find what is the happy medium between the two different conditions.
As far as the temperature of the air coming out of the registers with the new furnace (even on high fire) compared to the old furnace, this was more than likely going to be different no matter what kind of new furnace you put in. What I think is happening is that the new furnace (in low fire) is showing you things that need attention in your duct work like balancing and possibly insulation.
This is just another step in evaluating what's going on so that you can make an informed decision as to how to proceed.Use the biggest hammer you like, pounding a square peg into a round hole does not equal a proper fit.
A Honeywell IAQ will bring on the first stage heat before the temp drops 1 degree, and also bring on the second stage before the temp drops a degree.

Would it be too obvious a pun to say...
This RP has really gone to the dogs?
Alrighty cool
- - - Updated - - -
Name: Atilla
Sex: Female
Age: 6
Pack: Faro
Persona: Atilla is that individual whom can be seen in two ways, a gentle teddy bear... Or a fierce giant when she has to be. Her large size leaves her looming over even some of the tallest and broadest dogs making many squeamish around her at times when in reality she is often the first to offer up ideas of peace when the fighting starts. However, this does not mean she is not a fierce individual in battle, she uses her size to her advantage, crushing others with her large bulk and hefting dogs like they are nothing. Few directly challenge her unless they are absolutely confident in their abilities. Atilla is a loyal dog, very dedicated as well but she is rational and much more intelligent then people give her credit for, mostly a stereotype individuals gain from her lack of speaking to others unless she thinks it is needed and how she towers over others. While she isn't a genius like some other dogs, she does think about things rationally and is not deceived easily as some might think.

Calphalon Kitchen Towel Ensembles, 100% Cotton
Plaid, yes...solid, no!
I received these towels as a wedding gift. I have found that the plaid towels are really absorbent, but the solid towels are not. I thought it might have been because they are new, but I've had them for a couple months now and they have been through multiple washes. They are still not absorbent! It is so annoying! I can't dry anything with the solid towel!
September 7, 2012
Plaid, not solid
I recommend the plaid towel... it's absorbent, well made, and looks good wash after wash. Since I loved the plaid towel so much, I bought a solid black towel to better match my kitchen appliances. The black towel's absorbency was inferior and I will be replacing it with another plaid one.
February 8, 2012
Used to be a great quality....
Calphalon used to make the best towels. Now, they are thin and the one I purchased last week started unraveling in its first use. You're better off buying the less expensive Kitchensmart towels.
November 13, 2011
Great towels
I received the green plaid towels as a bridal shower gift and think they are great! They are very soft and absorbent and are the perfect size. I will continue to buy Calphalon towels from now on!

CSS Text Area & background Help
I have included an image of what I am trying to accomplish.
Basically I need some advice on how to set up the CSS for setting up the background and a expandable text area.
PonyackCould you post the code you've got now?Hi,
thanks for the quick reply. This is what I have been trying out.
it does not work and I am concerned about getting the text to work. I am also wondering if this is the best approach?
Inside content2 is where the text area and images will be.
#content {
float: right;
width: 625px;
#content1 {
width: 625px;
height: 204px;
background-image: url(images/image_01.png);
#content2 {
width: 625px;
background-image: url(images/image_02.png);
background-repeat: repeat-x;
width: 625px;
height: 193px;
background-image: url(images/image_03.png);
Anybody have any idea?
PonyackI would slice it differently.
I would take your red band there, take a 1px horizontal slice (or just get the correct #colour), centre it and repeat it y down the page.
Then I would build your boxes over it. This means you dont have to worry about alot of issues I could see happening...
Other than that it would be great to have your current site linked so we could see live code - its easyer for us to help that way.

Abstract photographs - Unusual images from the natural world...........
The natural world is full of surprises and discovering them is only limited by our powers of observation. There is so much more to see than meets the eye and this is what I try to discover and capture in my work.
Digital photography can enhance our powers of perception. I let nature provide the patterns and textures and the colours. I use technology to enhance what is already there. Sometimes I add to the picture by using natural objects. The results can be mysterious, vibrant, challenging and, sometimes, weird!

Good to see you are still producing some fine images Graham. Hope to see you up here in Plockton sometime in the near future - you never know, you might be inspired to take some more photos to add to your increasing excellent collection.
Sara Gilbert
Not everyone would wait ankle-deep in the sea for a piece of seaweed to curl itself into a letter 'g'. No trickery here, just a keen eye and a sense of the unusual. Lovely mesmerising work.
Rowena Steady
Looking at the world in the way that Graham allows us, helps us see the true beauty of creation. He never gets in the way of it allowing its simplicity to shine uncluttered, and with honesty.
I love your work - keep it up!
Chelston Gallery
Your photographs Graham, show an unusual take on the everyday. A really creative look at our surroundings. A pleasure to have them on exhibition.

SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — Sam Mikulak's injured left ankle will keep him out of all events but pommel horse during the finals of the U.S. men's gymnastics Olympic trials on Saturday. Mikulak's coach Kurt Golder confirmed the decision after watching Mikulak attempt to warm up on Saturday. The 19-year-old turned the ankle after an awkward landing on his vault during preliminaries on Thursday. The 2011 NCAA champion posted the highest all-around score with a 91.8, just ahead of Danell Leyva. He began Saturday in third place behind Leyva and national champion John Orozco in the overall standings. USA Gymnastics will use the average score from the first three rounds of qualifying to determine his marks for the events he does not compete in during the finals. He is not eligible to automatically qualify for the team. His father Stephen Mikulak said the ankle was "black and blue" and the swelling began when trainers removed tape after Thursday's competition. Mikulak is still considered a favorite to make the five-man team when it is announced Sunday. He originally injured the ankle when he broke both of his legs during a meet in Puerto Rico last summer. He endured a lengthy rehab but was surging this spring. He was a solid third at national championships this month. He seemed oblivious to the pressure during the opening night of trials, breaking the stranglehold Leyva and Orozco have had on the top of the podium over the last year. Mikulak had extensive treatment on Friday and took his time stretching on Saturday while Golder consulted with U.S. men's team coordinator Kevin Mazeika and USA Gymnastics team doctor Larry Nassar. He worked exclusively on pommel horse during warmups, never approaching another apparatus.

Now the Cincinnati Bengals can focus on that other Pennsylvania team.
Andy Dalton threw a touchdown pass and ran for another score, an opportunistic defense forced five turnovers, and Cincinnati beat the Philadelphia Eagles 34-13 on Thursday night.
The Bengals (8-6) took a half-game lead over the Pittsburgh Steelers for the last playoff spot in the AFC. But their game at Pittsburgh next week is far more important in the standings than this one.
"We've got nothing to celebrate here," coach Marvin Lewis said. "But we won and we do have some time to get ready for Pittsburgh."
The Bengals will clinch their second straight playoff berth with a win over the Steelers if Pittsburgh loses at Dallas this Sunday. A loss to the Steelers, though, likely would ruin Cincinnati's chances because it would lose the tiebreaker.
"Our goal is to win games. Period. We did that. Doesn't matter how we got there," cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones said. "We can be better. We can be higher. And that's what we take from this game. Listen, we all know we need to play better as a defense next week. Because we have ourselves a big one next week."
The Eagles' season was lost a long time ago. They fell to 4-10, losing double-digit games for the first time since 2005, the season after losing the Super Bowl to New England.
There were plenty of empty seats at the Linc, where fans are hoping this is Andy Reid's final season as coach. Reid led the Eagles to nine playoff appearances, six division titles and five NFC championship games in his first 13 years. But the Eagles will miss the playoffs for the second straight year, and owner Jeffrey Lurie already said 8-8 would be "unacceptable."
"Five turnovers, 31 points. That says it all," Reid said. "Guys played hard, but you can't have those turnovers. You have to take care of the ball. Guys have to do it. I take full responsibility for them."
An interception by Leon Hall set up Dalton's go-ahead 11-yard TD run in the third quarter. Then Wallace Gilberry picked up Bryce Brown's fumble and ran it back 25 yards for another score and an 11-point lead.

Fun Flower Facts
I need to send sympathy flowers. What should I send?
It is never easy comforting a relative, friend or associate who has lost a loved one. People are often uncertain as to the best way to show their sympathy. Adding to this uncertainty are changing trends in how Americans commemorate the death of a loved one. Services are simpler and shorter. Viewing periods are now typically limited to one day, if they occur at all. A greater number of cremations have resulted in shorter or no memorial services. Flowers have traditionally been sent to the funeral home for display during the viewing and service. However, this does not mean that there should be no show of sympathy if no service is held. Grief therapists agree that the rituals surrounding death are an aid in the grieving process. In instances where there is no service, experts recommend sending condolences to the bereaved person or family's home.
Rose Color Trends: Yellow Roses
A rose is a rose is a rose. Or is it? Unbeknownst to most of us, the 1990s spawned a virtual baby boom of rose varieties. Brought on by a fertile production period, today there are close to 120 rose varieties commercially available - up from the few dozen choices found in flower shops in the 1980s. These new rose varieties have not only expanded the color palette - from extreme lights to bright brights - but have enhanced characteristics such as bloom size, shape, stem length and strength of fragrance. Whether crisp lemon, buttery hues, golden yellows or trendy two-tones, the variety of yellow roses cover a broad spectrum of color - and appeal. If you've never given flowers to a man before, introduce him to this family of colors. Yellow is the second most popular color cited by men

Thought I was smart..Thought I knew enough not to have to look at instructions. After 30 minutes of trying to get Featherweight "Mama" threaded (unsuccessfully I might add) I decided to look at manual. Sigh..................It PLAINLY said to thread needle from right to left NOT left to right the way my Babylock does. After calling myself unflattering names I decided to just laugh it off. WHat else an you do? So what kind of "Duh" things have you done lately? Gina | |||
I made a border for my sisters quilt. WAY above my talent. three corners worked out one corner just gave me a fit. I worked with it until I was ready to toss the entire quilt in the trash. finally I just sewed it together and appliqued a butterfly on the corner that was ugly. If you cannot fix camafloge. | ||||
SIL and I did the same thing with her Featherweight "Miss Mae." Per my instructions, she inserted the needle and threaded it the same way as my old 1952 Singer. While she was working with tension, etc., I pulled up a manual online. Before printing it, I read out loud to her how to insert the needle and thread correctly. shrug It's so easy to let that little dab of testosterone that our bodies manufacture to take over the "Manual? I don't have to read no dumb manual" syndrome.

Pizza Compass! An app that tells you where the nearest slice can be found! No more Yelp, Google, or any other now obsolete app I have used to locate a pizza pie! I happily spent my hard-earned cash on this ($0.99) and noticed I work in a pizza desert. Home, not quite so much, thankfully.
Bestest thing about Pizza Compass? The home screen (main image) pizza slice can be dragged around to point out pizza in a specific direction and displays the name and distance. Aside from the general awesomeness, off the top of my head this is especially great for two reasons:
1. You can't afford any detours between the bar and your bed
2. You live in San Francisco and you don't want to walk up a goddamn hill for a slice of pizza
Although I have a certain respect for apps that do away with extraneous features, it might be nice to do a search by address. Say you're going to a new city and want to see where the pizza at near your hotel. But compasses don't do that. They also don't pick up data from Foursquare, so there you go. Ultimately, I would recommend Pizza Compass to my slice-loving, city-dwelling, bar-hopping pals.

City officials want to jumpstart long-delayed development plans at two sites downtown, but they claim construction can only begin at the expense of 25 affordable housing units, and the City Council isn't buying it.
The council has demanded that the city find a way to get construction started – without sacrificing the affordable housing the developer is required to provide.
At the center of the debate are two sites on First Street that were once 110 First St. and 111 First St. Both properties are owned by Lloyd Goldman and the latter property was once home to the ill-fated 111 First St. artists' studios.
Both buildings were eventually torn down. Today, 110 First St. is a vacant lot, while 111 First is home to a heap of old bricks that once housed the old arts space. The residential housing planned for the two locations has been stalled for the last six years. Unbeknownst to the council, the city attorney has been negotiating with Goldman to break ground at 110 First St. this year.
The development of 110 First St. and 111 First St. is central to the city's realization of the Powerhouse Arts District.
"We recommend this to the council because we think the benefits to be obtained from this settlement outweigh what we're giving up," Corporation Counsel William Matsikoudis told the council members. "What we're getting here is a jumpstart to a project that will create hundreds of jobs – 20 percent of the [jobs] will go to Jersey City apprentices – and will increase annual revenue for the city from $110,000 to $1.5 million."
But several members of the council called this agreement unacceptable and have told Matsikoudis to go back to the negotiating table. The council was supposed to consider a resolution on this new agreement between the city and Goldman last week, but after resistance from several council members the administration withdrew the resolution.
A shrinking dream
The development of these two properties is central to the city's realization of the Powerhouse Arts District, which covers an eight-block area between the Pavonia-Newport area and Grove Street and could eventually include an extended art-infused plaza and walkway. The Powerhouse District concept is supposed to make Jersey City an arts destination that will bring in tourist dollars and create jobs.
But this dream has never materialized and much of the original plan for the Powerhouse District has been scaled back. For example, plans to have 50 percent of the area's new housing designated as affordable housing for artists has been cut to 10 percent and the city has granted variances to developers to build luxury housing in the district.
Much of the rest of the area now sits undeveloped and in limbo, partly due to the 2007-2009 recession and weak economy.
More than 10 years ago Goldman waged a bitter legal battle to evict and otherwise remove artists from the 111 First St. lofts, which had been home to artists' studios since the 1980s. After the last of the artists had moved out, Goldman then fought an equally bitter legal battle with the city for the right to demolish 111 First, which he wanted to redevelop, but which the city said was an historic property.
Goldman and the city eventually settled. Goldman was allowed to demolish 111 First St. and develop both the 110 and 111 properties in exchange for numerous concessions to the city. Among the agreements Goldman made was that he would include 25 affordable housing units in his 35-story development at 110 First St. and contribute $2.5 million to the affordable Housing Trust Fund. (Separate affordable housing units and artists' lofts are planned for the new 111 First St. development.) The planned development at 110 First St. would have a total of 452 units, including 427 market rate apartments. The 110 First development has already received a tax abatement from the city and has also received site plan approval.
Money woes blamed on affordable housing
According to Matsikoudis, Goldman has claimed that he and his business partners have had difficulty obtaining financing for the 110 development. Goldman has further claimed that the required 25 affordable housing units are the reason the project has not been able to get financing – an argument few on the council believe.
"I know this is a really difficult decision and it's one that I share," Matsikoudis told the council. "But what we've seen over the last six years or so is nothing. There has been no development…One partner after another has walked away from this deal, in large part because of the insufficient rate of return they would get from these 25 units in this 452-unit building."
Matsikoudis suggested that Goldman's $2.5 million contribution to the city's Affordable Housing Trust Fund could help get home family style housing built in the Jersey City Height or in parts of the inner city. An earlier $2.5 million contribution from Goldman has already helped fund a workforce housing development in the Heights.
Council members, however, were unwilling to let Goldman off the hook for the 25 units and were particularly concerned that the landowner's $2.5 million contribution to the Affordable Housing Trust Fund would probably be used to build affordable housing in a different part of the city, not downtown.
"Is there anything in this agreement that requires that the $2.5 million be used to create affordable housing near this development," asked Councilman David Donnelly. "I think the way to do affordable housing is not to concentrate them in one community, but to spread them out throughout the city." Cities, he added, fare best when they are "economically diverse and mixed."
Matsikoudis said that if the city continues its demand that affordable housing be included in the 110 First St. development, "there is a major question mark about when we'll see anything developed on that property."
"That's the wrong way to see this," said Councilwoman Viola Richardson. "The right way to see this is to get 25 affordable housing units built at the site."
Kevin Pollack, a board member with the Powerhouse Arts District Neighborhood Association was barred from addressing the council last week. But in a statement he released later he stated, "The points brought forth by the council members were accurate and fair. The Powerhouse Arts District Neighborhood Association supports affordable housing on-site and in the district, in accordance with the Powerhouse Arts District Redevelopment Plan. The Powerhouse Arts District plan was developed with broad community involvement, and input from such well respected national organizations as the Urban Land Institute. [We strongly believe] that the Powerhouse Arts District Plan, as written, is viable zoning for the district."
Construction workers: Get development going
Several construction workers last week said they want to see the 110 First development move forward as quickly as possible.
Ed Pickett said he has been out of work for a year. The loss of his income has not only affected his ability to buy basic necessities and make ends meet, he said, but has also hurt his ability to support local businesses.
Normally, "My disposable income would go to spending money in restaurants, Home Depot, the White Star, [buying] birthday presents. At this point, being out of work as long as I have, you really have to tighten up the purse strings." Construction at 110 First St., Pickett added, "is not only good for union construction trades, and construction trades in general, but it's good for the entire economy for the city."

2012 Beauty Trends: What We Loved, Loathed, and Said "Meh" About
Neon strands, velvet nails, hair bows ... the beauty trends of 2012 were on a whole new level. See which ones we crown winners -- and which ones we're totally sick of
Best: High bun The top knot trend we all grew to love last year continued to dominate red carpets in 2012. But this year the style evolved into more than just a simple twist. Celebrities added braids, super-sized it, and even included wispy sideburns with the updo. But A-listers weren't the only ones to hop on the high bun bandwagon. Sock bun how-tos have dominated Pinterest boards and Tumblrs since early January. Needless to say, we think this is one trend that isn't going anywhere any time soon.

The Addiction To Pepper Sauce Hits Home
photos by Hannah Colclazier
According to a recent study, hot sauce production is America's eighth-fastest-growing industry, expanding almost as quickly as yoga studios, self-tanning products and social network gaming. How is this possible? A brainy Slate writer named Matthew Yglesias provides the answer: "capsaicin, the molecule that makes hot sauce so 'hot,' is basically like heroin."

Silvery polished chrome is still the most popular finish for bathroom faucets and other fixtures, but it is far from the only option today. Specialty bathroom stores may offer an overwhelming array of colors, metals and styles. While there are important differences between these metallic finishes, what's inside also counts.
Here is a guide to choosing bathroom fixtures, with comparisons of faucet bodies, finishes and valves. You can find other fixtures to match your faucets once you find a good deal on a high-quality faucet with the look and feel you desire.
Faucet Bodies
Many metal and plastic fixtures may be coated with nearly any finish, so ask about the material inside the faucet body. Also lift the fixture and feel the weight. A quality faucet should have some heft. Here are the best and worst options for faucet bodies.
Brass: All-brass faucet bodies will last for many years, and are unlikely to leak or corrode. It's worth paying a little more for forged brass faucets. They are typically smoother and denser, so they are less likely to leak than lighter cast brass models. Most brass faucets and other metal fixtures contain lead, which can leach into the water, particularly the first water flowing out of the tap after sitting in the faucet overnight. New federal regulations in 1997 required manufacturers to reduce the lead levels in their faucets, but even "lead-free" faucets can leach tiny amounts of lead into the water.
Steel: Cheap steel faucets are likely to rust. Stainless steel faucets are good, but typically won't last any longer than a good brass model, so the extra cost may not be worthwhile.
Zinc: Faucets made of zinc and zinc alloys are among the cheapest metal faucets, but also the least durable.
Plastic: Plastic is the cheapest, but also the least durable. However, plastic faucets are the only models with no lead.
