Is Bowmanville The Next "Hot" Neighborhood? A 4-Bedroom Renovated House At 2341 W. Berwyn
This 4-bedroom single family home at 2341 W. Berwyn in the Bowmanville neighborhood of Lincoln Square recently came on the market.
It is one of the gut renovated homes we've seen occuring all over the city.
Built on a 30×125 lot, it has a 2-car garage.
3 out of the 4 bedrooms are on the second level with the fourth in the basement.
The main level has been opened up so that the kitchen overlooks the family room.
The kitchen has cherry cabinets, granite counter tops, a tile backsplash and stainless steel appliances.
The listing says there are "spa caliber" stone baths.
There is also a lower level recreation room.
Before you all complain about the list price, a 3-bedroom house next door at 2339 W. Berwyn sold in June 2012 for $425,000. It was also renovated with the new kitchen etc.
See pictures of that house here.

Duke Energy is the largest utility in the country and powers most of North Carolina. The company owns 11 coal-fired power plants in North Carolina. As coal is burned, and chemicals released into the air, ash is left behind. That ash is often mixed with water and pumped into "ponds". Many of the ponds are unlined, and chemicals can leach into the groundwater, creating a risk to human health.
These risks are unacceptable and we demand that Duke Energy clean up the mess that they have gotten us into. Duke Energy must clean up all of their ash ponds in the state of North Carolina.

Canada's total reported consumer debt recently hit an even higher high at $1.621 trillion up from $1.529 trillion a year ago. And a study released today by Equifax Canada finds that Albertans have the highest average debt load in the country with consumer debt delinquencies there jumping 25% in Q4 2015 over Q4 2014. Here is the chart by province at the end of 2015 and delinquencies are rising in 2016.
With the wave of Canadian boomers moving towards retirement and looking to live on savings, low rates that helped them borrow and spend over the past 30 years are now having the opposite effect–suppressing spending and financial strength. Equifax added a warning:
"Debt is often used as a tool for consumers to accomplish their objectives. However, as people get older, their income earning capabilities generally trend downward," Equifax said in a release. "To increase their financial security, Canadians should develop a plan to pay off their debt within a set timeframe."
Equifax says interest rates will rise eventually and those relying on the availability of cheap credit will be tremendously vulnerable.

Right now the only thing I can think of is thinking that Lickitung was a gen 2 pokemon and arguing over my older brother about it XC
Now that I think about it more, I remember some things I thought were untrue about typing due to gen 1 pokemon games. Like, I used to think they made Psychic types way more OP in terms of what they are actually super effective against. Like due to most grass types also being poison types & the only ghost types around were poison types, I thought Psychic & Ghost were super effective against each other (-_- what would be the point in that...) & that they were also super effective against grass types. I actually argued this also with my older bro & went out of my way to fight a Tangela to prove him wrong(but I was pretty embarrassed to find out otherwise), because back then it just made since for Psychic to be super effective to grass types to me for some reason.

RENTON – The satirical fake-news outlet, The Onion, has taken two potshots at them in the past two weeks.
The New York Times called them the worst playoff team in the history of the NFL. And they might be right.
But for the Seahawks, who host New Orleans in a wildcard playoff game on Saturday, winning the NFC West with a 7-9 record means never having to say you're sorry.
Ever. At all. Seriously. Just listen to quarterback Matt Hasselbeck.
"Apologize to who?" he quipped Thursday, asked about the notion that Seattle owes an apology to, uhh, well…
"I've got nothing to apologize for."
It's an interesting thought. When teams like the Giants and Buccaneers (both 10-6) head for their vacation homes in Week 18 instead of gearing up for a playoff game, the question is worth asking.
But honestly, what are the Seahawks going to say? Thanks, but we don't deserve it?
"We're 0-0 right now," Hasselbeck said, interrupting a question as soon as the Seahawks' 7-9 record was mentioned. "That's where my head's at."
It's a thought that has taken hold throughout the team's locker room. Like it or not, Seattle's regular-season record doesn't give the Saints any advantage this week.
New Orleans won't be spotted any points because the Seahawks are 7-9. Seattle won't be forced to play shorthanded because it finished 7-9. Heck, it's the Saints who have to make the trip.
And there will be no apologies when they arrive.
"We're in the playoffs," safety Lawyer Milloy stated bluntly, asked about the lack of pressure surrounding them.
And it's almost as if Seahawks fans have felt the past few days that they have to make a concerted effort to actually be excited to watch their team in the playoffs, a notion almost as bizarre as the team's season. You could feel the same vibe last week, when some fans actually debated whether Seattle would be better off losing to the Rams, missing the playoffs and securing a higher daft pick.
Seattle coach Pete Carroll scoffed at that idea, naturally, and he should have. And Qwest Field was full, loud, rolling. The fans, some of them begrudgingly, came around.
That process is well underway this week, as blogs and message boards feature more and more comments about why the Seahawks aren't going to be pushovers on Saturday.
New Orleans is traveling across the country, they say. It'll be cold. It might snow. Chris Ivory and Pierre Thomas are both out with injuries. Seattle played well against them earlier in the season. And, hey, if the Washington Huskies could win the Holiday Bowl over the same Nebraska team that destroyed them earlier in the season, why can't the Seahawks beat a Saints team that has never won a road playoff game?
Well, plenty of reasons. New Orleans actually had a better record on the road than at home this season, going 6-2. Drew Brees is one of the best quarterbacks in the league, and threw for 382 yards against the Seahawks on Nov. 21. They still have Reggie Bush, despite their injuries at running back. Seattle couldn't score in the red zone in the first meeting. And, quite simply, the Saints are the defending Super Bowl champions and the more talented team.
But that doesn't mean Seattle is humbled by the privilege of facing them in the playoffs. Carroll isn't even using the underdog card to motivate his playuers.
Mainly because they don't need it.
Brees was asked about the Saints having a target on their backs, then rattled off each NFC playoff team, along with reasons why each of them are dangerous.
"Any of those teams, we are all sitting here thinking that we have a shot," he said. "We are all the hunters right now."
Even the Seahawks, who have been the prey more often than not.

Enoch and the Pleiades are two aspects of the crop circles that have been showing up year after year since at least 1995, in the formations themselves and in associated synchronicities.
According to ancient texts, Enoch lived on Earth for 365 years until he was taken around 3000 BC to live elsewhere, indefinitely, as "messenger of God." Enoch's age wasn't unusual in those days, when many people lived much longer than that. The Egyptians recorded similar long lifespans in their histories, as did other civilisations that sprang from the ancient Near East. That's because they're all based on the records of the Sumerians, with whom I think Enoch had an association – but we'll come back to that.
Enoch may have been taken to live somewhere in the Pleiades or to another physical place, possibly even within our own solar system, after leaving Earth. Perhaps he exists in another dimension parallel to ours. Whatever the case, if Enoch is communicating with us today, it's through crop circle synchronicities. 2014's crop circles gave us many clues about the process, but the finer details are still a bit past mankind's science horizon.
Still, playful microsynchronicities happen every single day urging me forward in this work. For instance, recently I was pacing, deep in thought, reflecting on the possible relationship between Enoch and the Pleiades, when the lyrics to a song playing in the background jumped out: "he's a thousand miles away and still standing in front of your face."
The correspondence was unmistakable, yet still cryptic – typical of these communications. Is Enoch transmitting from a planet in the Pleiades, some 400 and some odd light years away – or are the messages arriving from an Other dimension side by side with but invisible to us? On the surface, the song's lyrics describe a man looking at himself in a mirror, but could also adequately describe the experience of an "Other Intelligence" – Enoch? – viewing itself from afar, working through us here on Earth.
Whoever is sending the messages, and from wherever, we're being told to look back to the ancient past, to the earliest beginnings of what we know of civilisation – back to the high civilisation of the Sumerians. We're being told to closely follow the shifting boundary between mythological fiction and history, including the place referenced by the interdimensional goddess who materialised in my room, who woke me from a deep sleep to speak of the brilliant city of Ur at its height, when the gods of antiquity and creation were fresh in mind.
At Ur and the other ancient Sumerian cities we get closer to the earliest known written histories, when gods from elsewhere became the ancestors of many human beings today. Less than a hundred years ago, the rich tomb a Sumerian royal we know as Puabi was excavated at Ur by Sir Leonard Woolley after having lain undisturbed and with her tomb unlooted for 4500 years.
Clearly, Puabi was someone very important – we don't know who – in a city that had a great temple dedicated to Inanna. Could Puabi have been a demigod, born of Sumerian royalty (the gods) crossed with Earthly beings? The question is pertinent because Sumerians established the great city of Ur around 3800 BC over the flood-buried remains of a prehistoric people we now call the Ubaid. The Ubaid artifacts found under 10 feet of flood deposit depict multiple otherworldly figures in regal uniforms with distinctive dot patterns at the flared shoulder. The most mysterious of all, perhaps, is the figure of a serpentine humanoid nursing a serpentine humanoid baby.
Interestingly, one of the primary goddesses in ancient Sumer was Inanna, who was memorialised as a human-looking demigod associated with snakes and birds. Echoes of the Ubaid serpentine mother goddess? And it may well have been Inanna who visited interdimensionally to draw my attention to both the Ubaid and Ur.
Inanna and Enoch were contemporaries in an area of widespread travel and trade, so it's likely Enoch interacted with the Sumerian royals, including Inanna. Crop circle synchronicities and encounters spanning 21 years involving Enoch and the goddess speak to some kind of connecting thread and a growing urgency related to the ongoing excavations of ancient Sumerian cities, and the secrets of humanity that remain hidden there.

I've been to Mango's Caribbean Restaurant twice now—once with Saintseester (who introduced me to the place), and today with Melanie.
Both times, I was adventurous. The first time, I had braised oxtail, which is like meat candy. It was absolutely delicious, though considering the long time that it sated me, I suspect quite heavy. Today I had jerk chicken and curry goat:
It was tasty as well. That's the jerk chicken in the northwest, and the curry goat in the southwest. This is served with standard accompaniments of rice and peas, cabbage and broccoli salad, and fried sweet plantains. I don't think I've ever eaten goat meat before today. I liked it, though it was very highly seasoned, so I'm not sure today was a good evaluation. Texturally, it reminded me of beef. In fact, if you'd told me that's what it was, I'd have likely accepted it as truth.
Mango's is just west of Five Guys, adjacent to Research Park and just off University Drive. The strip is a little unfortunate in that it faces east, which means you kind of have to know about it to go. But hey, now you know about it. So go.
Service was timely, polite, and executed by gorgeous Caribbean women on both of my visits.
These are the only two authentic Caribbean meals I've ever had, so I'm not calling this a review, and I'm not giving a rating. I'll just say that my impression is that this is a delightful step off the path for lunch. It's likely a different taste for you, and the logistics are well executed. Check it out.

text: The meeting took place at the Energy Charter Secretariat in Brussels and focused on a number of matters, mostly in the context of Afghanistan, and its energy security and transition to peace. Participants of the meeting discussed Afghanistan's recent accession to the Energy Charter Treaty, which can be regarded as a positive factor with potential to streamlining Afghanistan's goals and aspirations from the energy perspective. The country's specific geographical position being surrounded by energy-rich neighbors in the north, makes it especially important as a conduit of the planned pipeline to its neighbors in the south-east. The Ambassador has praised the Energy Charter's efforts in the upcoming hosting of Secondees from the government sector of Afghanistan in the framework of the horizontal risk assessment report. Such reports have already been drafted and issued for a number of states, and they are viewed as useful tool for investors and other players in the energy sector.

Simple and satisfying. Annie creek is located about three quarters of the way into Spearfish Canyon. This hike is easily a perfect hike for all ages. You will find the beginning of the trail to Annie Creek at the road sign named Annie Creek. After walking about a mile into this road the trees part on the left hand side. All along the walk the green is amazing. At the bottom of the climb you will find a waterfall, not deep enough to swim under but perfect for cooling off. Your feet are going to get wet and if you bring only flip flops, you might have some problems.
This is one of the few hikes in the Black Hills that has a waterfall. The depth of the creek is not great, maybe six inches at most. It is possible to walk along the stream in either direction, though you won't find any more falls that I'm aware of. You can also continue on Annie Creek Road though I have never ventured this way and am not sure what lies further on the road.
When hiking to Annie Creek you must climb over a ledge of rock. This rock has many areas that are covered in a vibrant green moss. There are also several cave-like indentations in the rocks, though not large enough to be considered caves.
Are you planning a hike to Annie Creek?
Annie Creek is a beautiful area in the Black Hills that not very many people know about. If you make a visit to this area please keep this in mind. Trek in what you trek out and respect the natural area around it. It's lucky enough to be a hike that is still a very natural Black Hills area.

The Indianapolis City-County Council unanimously passed a proposal Monday which would allow the city to utilize disability-owned businesses to work with the city.
The proposal creates a Disability Business Enterprise program which allows those disability-owned businesses to bid on projects as well as procure goods and services for the city.
Council Vice-President John Barth says the program will help new businesses grow and create jobs within a group with traditionally high rates of unemployment. He says it also reflects the diversity of Indianapolis.
The city's Office of Disability Affairs will manage the program and make recommendations for the utilization of disability-owned businesses.
Council President Maggie Lewis says the program opens the doors for people with disabilities to become suppliers and job creators for the city. The proposal now heads to Mayor Greg Ballard's desk for approval.

"The banking solution delivered for Romero is a clear demonstration of the fact that a locally managed community bank, with decision makers who live in and understand the market, can be more flexible and innovative than other types of financial institutions."
Recognizing the unique financial needs of the arts community, TotalBank assembled a suite of commercial and personal banking services to support Britto's current endeavors as well as the growth of his enterprise. Leveraging a multi-faceted solution across all TotalBank operations, including treasury management, merchant services, personal and business banking, lending, and other services, a team of TotalBank client service professionals were able to ensure that the artist's financial services were adapted to his unique income stream and growth plans.
According to TotalBank President Jay Pelham, "The banking solution delivered for Romero is a clear demonstration of the fact that a locally managed community bank, with decision makers who live in and understand the market, can be more flexible and innovative than other types of financial institutions."
"After years of banking in an environment which did not provide the flexibility I needed to expand my growing business, I realized I needed a financial partner who would provide the level of service and innovation which every business needs. So, I made the strategic decision to partner with TotalBank because their team took the extra time to really understand my business and develop a specialized structure that worked for me," said celebrity pop artist Romero Britto.
Pelham added, "For TotalBank, our work is about more than the numbers – it's about supporting those people and companies who make Miami extraordinary. In many cases, this involves taking the time to really understand the hopes and dreams of creative business people, whether they be artists, entrepreneurs, small business owners, developers, or private-practice medical professionals. They all have banking needs that are unique and warrant a high-level of client service and support."
As independent business owners look for banking products outside the "traditional box" offered by national banks, community banks are increasingly offering more individualized packages to people with non-traditional employment and cash flow. Community banks currently provide over half of all small business loans, despite accounting for less than a quarter of all business lending.
For more information on TotalBank's offerings, please visit: www.totalbank.com.
Self-taught at an early age, Britto painted on scraps of paper or cardboard or any medium he could find before coming into his own and traveling to Paris where he was introduced to the works of Matisse and Picasso. Britto's work has been exhibited in galleries and museums in over 100 countries, including the Salon de la Societe Nationale des Beaux Arts exhibition at the Carrousel du Louvre in 2008 and 2010. In 2013, Maria Elena and Carlos Slim Domit invited Romero to be the first living artist to exhibit at Museo Soumaya. He has created public art installations for the 02 Dome in Berlin, New York's John F. Kennedy Airport, Cirque Du Soleil at Super Bowl XLI, and has been credited with the largest monumental sculpture in London's Hyde Park history. Britto served as an official artist for the 2010 World Cup, Ambassador to the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil and was recently invited to be an honorary torch bearer for the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. Britto's pop sensibility has since leant itself to many collaborations with international brands such as Audi, Bentley, Coca-Cola, Walt Disney, Evian, Hublot, and Mattel to name a few.
Headquartered in Miami, TotalBank is a leading, full-service community bank offering personal and business banking, lending, and other financial services.

Against long odds, some homeless children achieve their dreams. Six of them are featured in a new book by former New York Times reporter Tina Kelley, a Morristown native who will speak at the Morristown & Township Library on Jan. 10 at 7 pm.
The book is titled Almost Home: Helping Kids Move from Homelessness to Hope. Tina's talk is free and refreshments will be served. Here are more details:
MORRISTOWN, NJ— The Morristown & Morris Township Library is hosting an author talk on Thursday, Jan. 10, 2013, featuring former New York Times reporter Tina Kelley. The free program begins at 7 p.m. and refreshments will be served. This program is supported through funding from the Friends of the Morristown & Morris Township Library.
Each year, as many as two million young people in the United States become homeless, on their own. An overwhelming number of them are forced from home because of violence, neglect or rejection, and many age out of foster care with no place to call home.
In Almost Home: Helping Kids Move from Homelessness to Hope (Wiley; October 2012), Covenant House President Kevin Ryan and Tina Kelley, who shared in a Pulitzer Prize at The New York Times, tell the coming-of-age stories of six extraordinary children, now young adults, from across North America. Despite almost unimaginable suffering and adversity, these six exceeded almost everyone's expectations as they fought to make their dreams come true.
Almost Home isn't just about the six young people profiled in the book. It pays tribute to the hard work done by mentors and supporters as well—the adults who see a child in need, and work with him or her to make it through hard times. The stories in this book are a testimony to the power of having someone in your corner, cheering you on when the outlook is bleak. Join Morristown native Tina Kelley as she reads from this emotional and yet evocative work and conveys some of the stories therein.

Organic Baby Food for a Penny More than Conventional!
My last post mentioned the downward pricing pressure in the organic market. I've never seen better evidence of this than today, when I noticed a sale on Safeway's O Organics line of jarred baby foods. Now through Sunday, November 11th you can purchase 10 jars of organic baby food for $6. That's just 60 cents per 4 ounce jar, or 15 cents per ounce. Sitting right down the shelf from the O Organics is conventional Gerber baby food, priced at 59 cents per jar. Yes, that's right – this means that you can buy organic jarred baby food for just a penny more than conventional jarred baby food.
If you prefer the name brand Earth's Best, you can grab that on sale too – 12 jars for $9.49 – that's just 79 cents per jar, versus it's regular price of $1.05 per jar at Safeway.
Don't interpret this as an ad for Safeway – I have no connection to the store other than the fact that I've probably spent tens of thousands of dollars there over the years!
A key reason I launched this blog was to help parents make sense of their organic purchases. And what makes better sense than buying organic when it's just a penny a jar more than conventional baby food?
Best news – I asked the customer service rep if this sale is nationwide, and she said yes. It's a nationwide in-store only sale. So head out to Safeway and shop, shop, shop! — Lynn

I was excited to learn about your blog!
I wanted to let you about locally owned, locally produced, MOM MADE Foods based in Alexandria VA – fresh frozen organic foods for babies. Our products are available in freezer aisles of all Whole Foods, Wegmans, Balduccis, etc in the DC metro area.
Made with the freshest organic ingredients with the same recipe that I made for my son as an infant. Freezing is our preservative and we buy from local farmers when our ingredients are in season locally. Yes, it costs more than jarred foods but it is a whole lot fresher and higher quality – just as if you made the foods yourself, you'll notice the difference in the taste, color and naturalness. There's really no comparison.
Keep up the great work!
Heather – Thanks for writing! Wow, it's interesting to see how many new entrants there are into the frozen organic baby food category. This didn't exist at all until recently! In fact, I just became aware of it and I have an 11-month-old! Is this something you feed toddlers as well? Ie, is the food pureed or is it offered in stages of varying textures, just like the jarred kind? Best wishes with the business. Great to see so many "mommypreneurs" in the DC region! — Lynn

To answer your question about whether this is good for toddlers as well as babies, the answer is yes! We offer four varieties: apple, pear, broccoli and sweet potato. Our pear and apple make for great snack foods on the go or are delicious mixed with whole plain yogurt and some granola for breakfast. The broccoli makes for an easy, yet very healthy meal when mixed with mac n cheese or spread onto a pizza crust with cheese on top. And the sweet potato for an 11 mo old is a super way to introduce new flavors that your child hasn't yet conquered, ie sauteed eggplant, zucchini, fresh herbs, fish, etc. We have developed recipes that young and old enjoy – check them out here: http://www.mommadefoods.com/recipes.php. Enjoy!
Thanks for the info, Heather! Sorry for the delay posting – your post got caught in my spam filter! — Lynn

A woman received a phone call one afternoon. The caller identified himself as an investigator out of Dallas County. He said a warrant had been issued for her arrest and that she should reveal her location so the investigator could take care of this matter before it escalates any further. Otherwise, he told her, the police can pull you over and arrest you. They will take you to jail and you will have a lot more problems than you have right now.
What was her crime? Nothing! It was a scare tactic used by collectors to get her to turn over her car to repossession specialists. She had fallen behind on her car payments when unemployment ran out. Now the collectors were taunting her with threats of arrest and incarceration if she did not surrender the vehicle.
What the collectors did is illegal, not to mention unethical. They lied to her to intimidate and frighten her into surrendering the car. If she had been able to record the conversation as proof of the dialog she could have sued the collectors for $1,000.

SANTA ANA — A long-simmering feud involving one of Orange County's most successful retailing families has apparently erupted into a highly unusual court battle, with one women's fashion chain accusing a competitor of stealing trade secrets and fashion tips.
A civil suit filed June 5 in Superior Court in Santa Ana lists Doe Corp. No. 1 as the plaintiff and Doe Corp. No. 2 as the defendant. The court document does not identify either of the firms, but details in the document seem to paint a portrait of Clothestime Inc. and Styles for Less, two Anaheim-based junior women's fashion retail chains founded by members of the DeAngelo family.
Courthouse observers describe the civil suit, which seeks unspecified damages, as puzzling because neither the plaintiff nor the defendant is identified.
"I've written a five-volume textbook on civil procedures . . . and I've read my competitors' books, but I've never heard of this kind of filing," said Michael P. Thomas, a Huntington Beach-based lawyer and Western State University College of Law adjunct professor.

Honesty helps UT put stop to some issues
Updated 11:39 pm, Thursday, December 27, 2012
Time after time, missed tackle after missed tackle, mistake after mistake, Manny Diaz kept looking for the encouraging part.
Even when the worst statistical defense in the history of Texas football hit its low point, the Longhorns' defensive coordinator kept talking about finding "good stuff" on the game film, reasons to believe.
His players kept getting back up, and that was great. But eventually, Diaz had to admit they needed to stop falling down in the first place.
"We've proven we can take a punch," Diaz said. "But the time for that is over."
As UT heads into Saturday's Valero Alamo Bowl against Oregon State, it does so with a defense that has proclaimed itself finally ready to stop being battered. And whether it was by opposing running backs who kept enjoying career days against them, or by an outraged fan base that demanded changes, or by an injury epidemic that robbed them of elite players, this year's UT defenders have been battered like never before.
If the Longhorns don't limit OSU to 258 yards or fewer on Saturday, they will be assured of breaking the school record for defensive futility (the 401.2 yards per game given up in 1993). That they even have a remote chance to avoid that designation is a testament to a midseason turnaround of sorts.

And as other recoveries, it came only after UT admitted it had a problem.
"We went through a stretch against some really good offenses where we stunk," Longhorns coach Mack Brown said. "We were atrocious."
It was no coincidence that the depth of that horrendousness came when UT opened the Big 12 schedule against four of the nation's top offenses. Against Oklahoma State, West Virginia, Oklahoma and Baylor, the Longhorns allowed an average of 49 points and 580 yards per game.
As it was happening, Diaz — who'd wowed the Big 12 with his complex schemes in 2011 — tried to simplify things for a much younger defense.
"And for a while that probably hurt us," Diaz said. "And when I say 'probably,' I mean it did hurt us."
Playing without linebacker Jordan Hicks, who was lost for the season due to a groin injury in September, didn't help. Nor did later losing defensive end Jackson Jeffcoat to a torn pectoral muscle. And as the yards kept piling up, the self-image of the unit plummeted.
"That was one of the biggest issues at the beginning," end Alex Okafor said. "Some of the players didn't have confidence."
The key to finding some, as it turned out, was playing against less formidable opposition. During the final five games of the Big 12 season, UT actually led the conference in total defense (328 yards per game) and scoring defense (22 points per game).
Gradually, the Longhorns started showing glimpses of why they'd been hyped in the preseason as one of the most promising defenses in the country.
"As time went by," defensive tackle Desmond Jackson said, "guys started expecting more of themselves."
Of course, it's not as though all of UT's defensive issues were suddenly resolved. Even in an otherwise solid game against TCU, the defense's inability to get the Horned Frogs off the field in the fourth quarter led to the first of back-to-back losses to end the regular season. UT then gave up 42 points at Kansas State.
And that brings Diaz back to his point about taking punches.
"I'm tired of being resilient now," Diaz said. "It's time to be something else."

Simple 70s-inspired storage solutions
Back in the spring, Cane and I signed up for an online design class.
I wanted to figure out how to design our family room so that it would work and look better. You know, so that the family would actually use the space and keep "family room" from being a misnomer.
Although I became a dropout and never finished the course, I did enough to figure out some important things about how to better use the space.
In true Undesign fashion, it was finding a few key pieces at a favorite salvage store that helped us make some big design decisions.
This still left us with the design challenges of figuring out how what to do with the TV and how to create storage above the desk areas.
Once we figured out how we wanted the spaces to work, we had to figure out what could work in terms of three big factors:
- Materials: What can we easily find that looks good (to us)?
- Cost: What's economical? (We didn't want to spend a whole lot of money or rape the environment.)
- Skills: What do we have the skills to execute fairly easily.
As we wrote way back in the early days of this blog, we think it's great to work with what a house is (rather than fighting it). And our house is a 70s split-entry, raised ranch. I began Googling "70s rec room" to see what design inspiration I might find, and eventually I found my way to The Practical Encyclopedia of Good Decorating and Home Improvement on Flickr–which you have got to check out if you're a 70s aficionado.
I was particularly inspired by these:
Cane was sold on the idea of using simple metal tracks and brackets right away. They are (relatively) inexpensive and easy to install.
I wasn't so sure. Would they look cheap? Is such shelving really more appropriate for places like kid bedrooms and craft rooms? Would I be able to look at them without always thinking of my childhood bedroom?
Then I saw things like this:
And this!
(If you haven't discovered Olive Green Window and you are a fan of mid-century design, you've got to see their blog/house. AMAZING stuff! And they have a super-cute weiner dog, just like us. Sadly, that's about all our homes really have in common. :-))
The more I looked and pondered, and the more Cane considered the bracket-shelving decision a done deal, the more it seemed like the only choice to me, too: Easy-to-get materials, affordable, and super-easy.
And so we've now got this:
I don't know if we've yet clearly established that Cane is a design genius, but just in case we haven't, I think this project is proof. I really wanted some of the storage to be covered. I wanted storage that could contain a bunch of clutter, and I didn't want visible clutter. He wanted to use a system of simple brackets and rails.
I showed Cane some of my inspiration images and told him how I wanted the shelves to function, and this is the ingenious solution he came up with:
How did he made those boxes–which look a lot like those closed cabinets I was coveting–float? They're resting on the same brackets that hold the shelves:
The How-To
These boxes were incredible easy to make. We figured out the depth we wanted for each box (after seeing what lengths standard brackets come in), then headed to Home Depot to buy a sheet of thin birch plywood. A helpful Home Depot guy ripped the sheet into the widths we needed.
All Cane had to do at home was cut them to length. He cut out two pieces of the same length for the top/bottom, and two other pieces of the same length for the sides. You can make them however long/tall you'd like.
Then, he simply nailed the pieces together to make an open box–no front (yet) or back.
He cut another piece to make a front door (again, using one of the pre-ripped pieces from our original sheet), which he attached with hinges.
Before attaching the door, he drilled a hole in the front to make for easy opening. (I think they add a little style, too.)
He stained the whole thing, then hung the box on the brackets. BAM!
As for how we figured out the design for the boxes/shelves, we did that in pretty typical UnDesign fashion. (That's shorthand for: We were too lazy/busy (you choose) to deal with substantially changing a big, inconvenient issue.)
Because the nook was originally designed for a monstrous, wall-sized TV, outlets and cable connections were placed right in the middle of the dang wall.
We didn't want to move them, and we needed them for our router box/printer/computer, so we decided that a box had to cover them. We determined the dimensions we wanted for that box, and that–along with the placement of the outlets–determined where we would put the wall tracks and the brackets for the box.
We put the tracks on the walls (4, evenly spaced), built the box to cover the outlets, and then cut out some cardboard shelves. We learned all about making prototypes in the course we (sorta) took, and it's a design tool that's really useful. Instead of guessing at what might work and making expensive mistakes, we were able to really see what the shelves would look like using cardboard.
And this is the design we ended up with for the nook:
The bottom line
These shelves weren't free, but they were far less expensive than some kind of built-in system might have been. (You can see the story and costs of the desk here.)
We think we bought two sheets of 1/4″ birch plywood, which was about $30 a sheet.
We bought 21 brackets, which were about $3.50 a piece. (We used 9″ brackets for most of shelves, but 11″ for the box that the TV sits on.) We bought 7 tracks, which were about $7.00 a piece.
We bought one can of stain for the shelves and boxes, for about $5.00.
Less than $200.00 for sure. (Sorry we don't have more exact figures; we did most of this back in August, so our memories are a little fuzzy.)
Maybe more importantly, they didn't cost us much in terms of time.
We figure it was about an hour for the install of each set of tracks. It was a good afternoon's work to make the boxes and cut the shelves. Probably the most time-consuming part of the project was staining the boards.
The real bottom line
Figuring out what we really need for who we really are now is the reason our basement room is finally a family room.
I previously stored much of our school/craft supplies in the garage. (You can see my first attempt at organizing that stuff by clicking here.)
Problem is, those things were rarely accessed. There was too much of it, and having it all in the garage made it inconvenient to get to. Truth is, our kids wouldn't go into the garage to look for the things they needed. Instead, they pilfered the common supplies and squirreled them away in their bedrooms so they wouldn't have to return to the garage.
Now, when they're working on homework, their school supplies are all in one easy-to-access place. The supplies haven't disappeared.
Even better, they're now choosing to do more of their homework in this common space. Maybe that's because it's just a better-looking space, but I think it's also because everything they need is right here within easy and comfortable reach.
Also? Our kids just aren't in the doing-crafty-things-for-fun stage any more. It made me sad to acknowledge that when I was figuring out our storage needs, but it's true. We just don't need a lot of the stuff that used to be our free-time staples. (No, we really don't need stickers and stamps and paints and crayons and googly eyes and all kinds of scrapbook paper.)
Making the decision to purge so that we could fit all things game/sewing/crafty into the family room has been a great one. Between the wall storage and the large storage cabinet, we've got it down to the things we actually need and want.
I purged a bunch of sewing/needlework supplies I know I'll never use. I am still keeping my fabric stash in a covered cabinet in the garage (that's something that only I access, and only rarely), but everything else is now in this room:
Cane and I have long felt that home design matters because the spaces we live in shape how we live. Our redesigned room is, in subtle but important ways, redesigning how we spend time as a family. Last weekend, we all watched a movie together down here. While Will spent hours working on a school paper, and Grace took over the back corner with a massive poster-making project, I was hanging out right here with them, working on a sewing project.
We all spent a lot of hours in the same room. Sure, we weren't doing the same thing, but we were talking. Snacking. Giving and taking advice. Just being together. That might not sound like much, but we're realizing that when it comes to parenting teens who no longer want to spend much of their free time with us, it really is.
So, we're putting this UnDesigned re-design in our win column. Hope you can glean some wisdom from what we learned/did here that will help you put something in yours.
Oh, and in case you spotted/are wondering about that little Incredible Hulk
doll action figure hanging out on the shelves in our hoped-to-be-Pinned images, he's there for two reasons:
1. The Hulk is Cane's favorite super-hero, and Cane likes the action figure.
2. We're committed to showing our home as it really is, Pinterest-be-damned. Like most of you, we've got unsightly cords and not-on-purpose mismatched chairs and the occasional action figure. (OK, maybe we're the only ones with a decorative action figure outside of a kids' playroom.)
And, yeah, we did tidy up for this photo shoot–but we didn't stage the room. We think real homes and real life have real beauty, just like real people do. And it's no more healthy to show staged, photo-shopped images of our homes than it is to show those kinds of images of people.

Director and editor Kevin Layne has worked with his share of famous people, done productions for both network and cable shows, and been on projects with the likes of Gloria Estefan and Deep Purple.
But he admits sitting across from celebrated actor William Shatner was a daunting experience.
"I mean you're sitting there talking with someone whose life experience extends more than 50 years in this business," Layne said. "He's incredibly smart and perceptive, and once you really get into the interview you see that he's not interested in just doing what you might expect. That's the thing that's made him so great over the years — that willingness to go past the ordinary, to experiment and really try to change things and excite audiences."
Layne is one of the directors for William Shatner's Gonzo Ballet, the world premiere film featuring the music from Has Been, a CD project produced by Ben Folds. He's also directing its transformation into the ballet Common People, a work, featuring the Milwaukee Ballet and the choreography of Margo Sappington. Layne will be attending the Friday premiere along with Shatner, Folds and several other celebrities.
"It's been quite a journey making the film and it did have its challenges," Layne said. "But it's been one of these situations where things keep coming together. Margo happened to be listening to an NPR show in her car and heard a song from Has Been. She gets on the phone, calls William Shatner's office, gets him, pitches the idea and he loves it. Later, I come along and do the interview with him, and we kind of expand upon what had previously been done by Patrick Buckley and the previous production company. The interview that Bill and I did, along with his beautiful wife Elizabeth, also helped change the direction of the film."
Layne remembers that Shatner (whom he refers to as "Bill") had plenty of input into the creative process, and had some definite things in mind that he wanted to see in the film.
"Bill had plenty of his own ideas about what he wanted to see in the film, and I think that people have underestimated him in terms of the musical component of this work as well. He has many great things that he wants to say, and he didn't want this to turn out like what happened the last time he got involved in a music project. He saw this as a second chance to do something both entertaining and also with some social commentary and protest components. What he did with Henry Rollins for example is wonderful. Ben Folds captured the spirit that Bill wanted perfectly in the production and then the ballet sequences also are wonderful."
Despite Shatner's multiple awards as an actor and larger-than-life persona, Layne adds there's another quality which came out in their conversation that resonates throughout the movie.
"Bill showed a vulnerability in our interview, which, in turn, comes across at times in the film," Layne said. "It's something that not only is part of what makes him great, but is part of the reason why he's maintained his popularity so long in the public eye. If you look at the work he did all those years in Boston Legal, he was constantly changing things up, exploring different areas and doing provocative things on the screen."
Lastly, he feels that even those who've been Shatner fans since his days in the original Star Trek will see some different things in this latest project.
"If you think you really know William Shatner, you can't afford to miss William Shatner's Gonzo Ballet," Layne said. "You will see aspects of his character and personality that haven't been shown before in any of his past work. That ability to keep progressing, keep finding new layers and continue growing is amazing for anyone, and it's something that many people are afraid to even try as they get older. Bill doesn't worry about that, he's always up to the challenge, and that's one of the many things that makes William Shatner's Gonzo Ballet so memorable."

Natural Muscle Relaxants
What Is Natural Muscle Relaxer
Natural muscle relaxants are known to have been used for centuries. Poison-tipped arrows used by the indigenous population in South America produced death by skeletal muscle paralysis. Tubocurarine, the active ingredient helped lead to major discoveries in the function of acetylcholine in neuromuscular transmission. This technology is widely used today in anesthesia and surgery.
While commercial and prescribed muscle relaxants have a strong and profound effect on human body, natural muscle relaxants have little to no side effects. Natural nutritional and dietary supplements are inexpensive and readily available over the counter. Most natural muscle relaxers are considered to be a better choice compared to narcotics as far as long-term health condition is concerned. Also, natural muscle relaxants are used to deal with some unrelated symptoms which most pharmaceuticals have no capability to cope with. Both however, have similar characteristics. Just as majority of pharmaceutical muscle-relaxers, natural herbs must not be used in big quantities by pregnant women, the elderly and children. It's a good thing to hear the opinion of your physician or health professionals to determine if natural muscle relaxers are right for you.
Buy muscle relaxers - if you want to purchase quality muscle relaxers, whether it's over the counter or prescription only, go to buy muscle relaxers
Herbal muscle relaxant can really offer relief from muscle pains. It is cheap, and readily available as it can be bought over-the-counter, without prescription. Preparation is rather simple and straightforward. Most herbs are prepared by heating and boiling; and pounded if used as a poultice.
To ensure the availability of these herbs some people also grow their own medicinal garden. Herbal muscle relaxer is also becoming more popular as an alternate to prescription muscle relaxants because it has little or no side effects. Moreover, medicinal herbs are nowdays incorporated into production of muscle relaxing drugs by many pharmaceutical companies.
Even though herbal medicines are not popularly used in clinical settings, there is a strong evidence of their medicinal benefits. Some people tend to over-do herbal medicine because they believe it's not the drugs they're using here. They believe all they do is using some plants, roots and herbs. However, dosage guideline should be followed even though they're not using pharmaceutical drugs. If you intend to cook up herbal muscle medicines, it would be wise to acquire proper knowledge of combining herbs with traditional drug. You should be able to find some advice from health care professional.
Muscle Relaxers
Medicine which can decrease the normal muscle tone is called muscle relaxant or neuromuscular blocker. Sometimes we need to reduce an exaggerated muscle tone getting it back to normal. This is especially true with certain neurological diseases such as cerebral palsy, cerebral vascular accident, multiple sclerosis. All of these are usually manifested by increase muscle tone, this is called spasticity and the drugs are called antispastic.
Antispastic drugs reduce an increased muscle tone and neuromuscular blocker or muscle relaxants abolish normal muscle tone when normal functioning would mean pain and stiffness. The antispastic drug will not reduce normal muscle tone but an elevated muscle tone. Learn more about muscle relaxers
Natural Relaxant
Natural cures, such as herbal muscle relaxers, are often touted as being much safer than their chemical counterparts. The reason for such belief is the fact that they don't suffer from the same possible side effects and are generally viewed as not being compounds alien to the body. For many people they present a better alternative to conventional muscle relaxant medications. While these medications can be effective if one knows how to use them and which ones to use, a herbal muscle relaxer (or any other herbal medication) can still have negative effects on the body if not used correctly. There may also be situations where the herbs will have no effect whatsoever. Learn more about natural relaxants

The spasm can actually start in the nerves that lead into the muscle, though the feeling is the same no matter where the spasm starts. Most of the time muscle spasms are painful, but not serious.

Muscle Spasm Relief - How to Relieve Muscle Spasms
People often confuse cramps with chronic muscle spasms. Whereas a cramp makes your muscle feel tight and stiff for a minute or two, chronic muscle spasms usually develop into a few days of muscle soreness and pain. While a cramp can be relieved with a few massage strokes and minutes of rest most of the time, a muscle spasm refuses to budge until it is ready to do so - kind of like an unwelcomed visitor that even overstayed its forced welcome. Chronic muscle spasms can also strike just about anywhere in the body. Your neck, legs, back and even your fingers are especially vulnerable to a spasm attack. Since treatment for the causes of muscle spasms takes time, here are some tips that you can consider to get relief fast. Learn more about muscle spasm relief

**NEW** Oregon Legislature Oil-By-Rail Bill Announced
Oregonians: Act Now – Send a Letter of Support for HB 2131 & 3344
Nine months after a fiery oil train derailment in Mosier, the Oregon legislature's House Committee on Energy & Environment is considering important bills that would strengthen Oregon's hand in addressing the risks from reckless oil trains. One new bill, HB 3344, would bolster Oregon's ability to review and potentially deny dangerous oil terminals. A second bill, HB 2131, would require additional safety and financial responsibility measures by railroads.
We know that oil-by-rail is inherently unsafe, but until it's stopped, Oregon needs to do everything in its power to protect our rivers and our communities.
HB 2131 and HB 3344 (see our fact sheet) are assigned to the House Committee on Energy and Environment, and they will receive their first hearing on Monday, March 13th at 3pm in Hearing Room D. Here are some details about the two bills:
- HB 2131 would require additional contingency planning by railroads, levy fees to build up Oregon's oil spill contingency fund, and require railroads to demonstrate financial responsibility to pay for a worst-case spill.
- HB 3344 adds to the financial responsibility requirement for railroads by addressing oil terminals themselves. HB 3344 prevents state funding for oil and coal terminals and adds a "balancing test" that empowers Oregon Department of State Lands to consider the impact of oil terminals on public resources. It also prohibits the legislature from funding oil or coal terminals.
Together, we will be urging the House Committee on Energy & Environment to support these bills. Help us send a message: click here to urge your legislator to support HB 2131 and HB 3344.

We need to make sure Oregonians and our environment are protected from the clear and present dangers presented by moving oil by rail. This state should play a leadership role in leaving fossil fuels and stricter guidelines for transporting oil by rail will help with that.
Please support HB 2131 and HB 3344. Oil trains and terminals must step up and take responsibility for their actions.
In the first place Oregon should be moving away from reliance upon and facilitating the use of fossil fuels as an energy source. Oregon should be dissuading additional fossil fuel infrastructure in the state. The science is clear. 97% of climate scientists worldwide believe this. NASA believes this. 190 countries in Paris in 2015 endorsed this. The Defense Department believes this. The fact that our Federal government chooses willful ignorance does not excuse Oregonians from our responsibilities to our children, our grandchildren and all the Earth's children.
But for goodness sake if we are to have oil trains and oil terminals (which I believe we should not), let's make sure that the trains and terminals are safe, that they are prepared for likely problems, and that they are financially able to assume responsibility for any adverse consequences of their profit making activity. I am a capitalist. I am all for profit making activities. BUT I am NOT in favor of socializing the losses when profit making activities cause problems for the vast majority of the population.
Before Oregon gives me a driver's license, I must demonstrate that my car is environmentally safe, that I am a capable operator and that, via insurance, I can take responsibilities for problems I cause others.
So it should be for Oil trains and terminals.
Please support HB 2131 and HB 3344. Oil trains and terminals must step up and take responsibility for their actions.
What our elected representatives perhaps do not yet understand is the severity of impact- letting these trains by at all, would have on our system. Asthma, cardiac disease, and air pollution are certianly on the rise. Derailment is a forseeable outcome. Most importantly, the atmospheric CO2 levels are getting ever close to the 500 ppm benchmark of heading into terminal extinction. We only have 4-5 years of influential time to change the course.

Rebuilding Trust in New Orleans
I just returned from a visit to New Orleans, seeing some of the reconstruction progress as I toured the area with the Emir of Qatar, who generously donated a lot of money to the city to help with the rebuilding. The trip reminded me of a comment we received in a recent blog.
Ray Broussard of New Orleans posted the following comment:
"Public trust and faith in the Corps cannot even be earned again – not in the short term anyway. As before, the Corps will regain public trust very slowly over time as we slowly forget, forgive and die off, unless… structures fail again when tested by storms."
I'm certain that Mr. Broussard's comments reflect the feelings of many of his fellow citizens, and I appreciate his candor. I am genuinely empathetic for what the people of the greater New Orleans area have been through. I want you to know that rebuilding your trust is incredibly important to me, and enabling Gulf Coast recovery is our #1 domestic priority.
The progress I see each time I visit is really remarkable. The region has a better hurricane and storm damage reduction system in place than ever before in its history – and it will continue to get better.
But don't just take my word for it! I encourage you to get out and see for yourselves the gates, the pumps, and all of the work designed to reduce your risk. And remember – that's "reduce risk," not "guarantee safety." It's incredibly important that everyone remember there is no way to eliminate risk altogether.
We know that we lost the trust and confidence of many citizens of southeast Louisiana in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, and we fully understand that regaining their trust and confidence will not be the result of anything that we might say, but through the quality of the work we, and our many partners, are doing. Deeds, not words.

There are certain events that you just know are going to change your life forever. Starting a new job, getting married, giving birth and…potty training your toddler. There will be ups, there will be downs, but one thing is for sure: The road to the potty ain't an easy one.
You're Going to Think it's Way Easier Than it Actually is
"Potty Training", sounds kind of cute doesn't it? Something that cute has got to be pretty simple, right? A few days of asking if your kid has, "got to go potty". A couple of minutes sitting on the bathroom floor waiting, maybe buying a pack of pull ups for the long nights or Kandoo Wipes to teach them the importance of wiping up themselves. That might be accurate somewhere in Perfect Parent La La Land, where kids eat what is made for them and go to bed at 7:00pm sharp. But here in the real world, potty training is pretty crappy. Literally.
You'll Spend Just As Much As You Save
One of the best parts of potty training is the idea of never having to spend money on diapers again. Loosely calculated 10 diapers a day x 1 baby minus the stress of running out to the 24 hour Walmart at 2 am = a very happy parent with tons of extra cash. What will you do with all of that extra money? Buy a new wardrobe? Go on a romantic getaway? Treat yourself to an indulgent spa day? Yeah right. You will use that money to bribe your child to poop on a miniature toilet. What starts as one M&M turns into a new set of Legos and then a shiny new tricycle, a pony, a trip to Disney World. NEVER underestimate the lengths you'll go to bribe your child to use the potty.
Your Kid Will Think Everything Is a Toilet
Do you know what's exactly like a toilet? Nothing. Nothing is exactly like a toilet. Well, try explaining that to a not totally potty trained 2 year old. They might get the overall gist of the whole "going in the toilet" thing. But they may not completely grasp the "toilet only" part of the equation. To a toddler, acceptable toilet substitution may include, but is not limited to: a suitcase, a measuring cup, your brand new shoes, your great grandmother's heirloom crystal vase, mommy's bed (specifically when the sheets have just been changed), the dog bowl, and the expensive silk plant in the corner.
You'll Start To Annoy Yourself
It may be the fact that you're asking your kid if they "have to go" every 3.5 minutes. Perhaps it's your new obsession for mapping and ranking the cleanliness of every public bathroom within a 5-mile radius. It might even be the "Pooping is fun, we wipe when we're done" rap song that you've become accustomed to performing multiple times a day. Whatever it is at some point during the potty training process you will stop and think "What the hell am I doing?!". Hopefully it's before you've recorded and posted your poop rap on YouTube.
You Give a Whole New Meaning To The Term "Potty Mouth"
During the potty training process it's like your conversation is always tuned to 99.9 POOP FM. You will find it almost impossible to go more than a few hours without the words pee pee or poo poo from exiting your mouth. For the sake of all others around you please remember that no one, I repeat NO ONE else wants to hear about how close Timmy came to going "wee wee" in the "flushie hole".
It will take the patience of a saint, the dedication of an Olympic athlete, and maybe even a couple strong cocktails. But the time is near. It may be a long and tedious process, but it is finally time to hand over the reigns to your little one and renounce your title as designated tush wiper.

Lichaj & Weimann Set For Chelsea Start?
Alex McLeish has said that Eric Lichaj and Andi Weimann are pushing hard in training for a start against Chelsea.
So it won't happen then baring a miracle or severe injuries, but I haven't done anything for a couple of days so let's go with it for a bit.
Speaking to the Official Site as the first team drop like flies, McLeish explained that he wouldn't hesitate to give Lichaj a starting berth against the Londoners, and of course we all know what Weimann is capable of.
With Stiliyan Petrov struggling with a fever, N'Zogbia in pretty Paris' with a knackered knee and Alan Hutton looking a serious doubt, the chances are we may get to see a few more fresh faces in the team.
Failing that or Heskey will be at centre half?!?
'Eric is proving to be a little bit of a warrior. We have been impressed with his application in training and in some of the reserve games recently he has been outstanding. There are no problems if we felt we had to play Eric.'
Lichaj isn't the only option at right back, with Chris Herd also coming into the equasion but it's likely he will continue in midfield.
'Chris Herd has played that position before too, although that would mean we would have to look at midfield. Andi Weimann is champing at the door too so there will be a lot of food for thought in terms of selection and what formation we go for. If Weimann comes in then perhaps we are looking at 442 or as close to that as possible.'
What's close to a 442, a 1-8-1-1??

Yeah, the submitted changes in question from project A were filter updates, and we do specifically state in that email that filter updates are allowed in a stable branch. It was kindof an odd situation. The updates merely added css classes to a few of the html tags which are outputted from the filters, none of the projects involved thought adding css classes would break anyone. One of the things in head currently which isn't mentioned in that email is binding improvements and also your additional cmake make system. I'm not sure how I feel about binding improvements being included in a stable branch, but I don't see an issue including an additional make system. Any thoughts?

A scientist has revealed that nitrogen pollution from fertilizers and other sources has become a major environmental problem that threatens human health and welfare in multiple ways.
Billions of people owe their lives to nitrogen fertilizers – a pillar of the fabled Green Revolution in agriculture that averted global famine in the 20th century- but according to Alan Townsend it can have detrimental affect on health and environment.
"It"s been said that nitrogen pollution is the biggest environmental disaster that nobody has heard of," said Townsend.
Townsend, an authority on how human activity has changed the natural cycling of nitrogen to create a friend-turned-foe dilemma, called for greater public awareness of nitrogen pollution and concerted global action to control it.
"Awareness has grown, but nitrogen pollution remains such a little-recognized environmental problem because it lacks the visibility of other kinds of pollution," said Townsend.
"People can see an oil slick on the ocean, but hundreds of tons of nitrogen spill invisibly into the soil, water and air every day from farms, smokestacks and automobile tailpipes. But the impact is there — unhealthy air, unsafe drinking water, dead zones in the ocean, degraded ecosystems and implications for climate change. But people don"t see the nitrogen spilling out, so it is difficult to connect the problems to their source," added Townsend.
The concern focuses on so-called "reactive" nitrogen. Air contains about 78 percent nitrogen. But this nitrogen is unreactive or "inert," and plants can't use the gas as a nutrient.
"A single atom of reactive nitrogen can contribute to air pollution, climate change, ecosystem degradation and several human health concerns," said Townsend, an ecology and evolutionary biology professor at the University of Colorado at Boulder.
Damage to the ecosystem — a biological community interacting with its nonliving environment — includes water pollution and reduced biological diversity, including the loss of certain plant species.
The result was presented at the 242nd National Meeting and Exposition of the American Chemical Society (ACS) recently.

From Los Angeles, California, USA, the members of this vocal group were Aaron Collins, Willie Davis, Tommy Miller and George Hollis. The Flares were a one-hit-wonder, but they had a extensive pedigree in the music field long before their one hit. Collins and Davis had been members of the Cadets / Jacks during the 50s and had built the Flares on the ashes of that group. Miller and Hollis had been members of the Flairs, who were stablemates with the Cadets/Jacks on the label complex owned by the Bihari Brothers. The Flares signed with the small Felsted label in 1960 and on their third release they reached the charts with Footstompin (number 20 R&B, number 25 pop) in 1961 (the song was later covered by David Bowie in 1975 on Fame). Capitol Records took notice and picked up the group for their Press subsidiary, releasing an album and a spate of dance-related songs. The group disbanded not long after the release of their last Press single in...

Route Grade Votings
Total votes cast 101
Adjacent Routes
A devious classic with a bold - but easy - finish. The frustrating (and chipped) initial slab can be ascended in several places at 5a/b. From the ledge, climb through the bulge just to the right of the arete, to another ledge. Step down (low runners) and traverse across the slab to reach its right arete. Follow the right side of this to the top; bold but mild.
the bottom bit is probably 4c if you're over 6ft
Nice route, boulder problem start but the technicality then eases. No gear from the start of the traverse so fairly bold. Picking the line of the traverse (hi or lo) wasn't that easy. Solid VS.
There is gear on the traverse - a reasonable cam placement half way along, and you could probably put one in the pocket at the end as well, although I didn't have the right size with me.
Slightly dodgy friend 2 2/3rds of the way along the traverse. Brilliant route though, just trust those feet!
I seconded this and really enjoyed it. Especially the start, most satisfying if you don't use the arete for hands. Wish I'd led it to appreciate the exposure when you start the traverse and the boldness.
"Follow the right side of [the right arete] to the top". Really? I couldn't find enough holds on the right (at least not enough to be 4b), so went up the left instead, ie the right hand side of the slab.
A victim of its own poularity with the start, but once passed the rest is good steady stuff, no where harder than 4b. The traverse focuses things nicely, but do you realy need to worry about the gear when the moves are that easy?
Found it a most enjoyable route with adequate gear, although you need cams. The initial slab is easy 5a IMO and the rest is easy if you trust your feet.
I think giving this 5a is an over grading. The 4c move is straight off the deck,above is easy 4b climbing with slightly spaced gear.Very pleasant,enjoyable climbing.
