Interpretive Handbook
81031 :
Synthetic Glucocorticoid Screen, Serum
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Synthetic glucocorticoids are widely used and have important clinical utility both as anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive agents. The medical use of these agents, as well as their surreptitious use, can sometimes lead to a confusing clinical presentation. Patients exposed to these steroids may present with clinical features of Cushing syndrome, but with suppressed cortisol levels and evidence of hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis suppression.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Confirming the presence of listed synthetic glucocorticoids (see Interpretation)
Confirming the cause of secondary adrenal insufficiency
This assay does not detect fluticasone propionate.
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
This test screens for and quantitates, if present, the following synthetic glucocorticoids: betamethasone, budesonide, dexamethasone, fludrocortisone, flunisolide, fluorometholone, megestrol acetate, methylprednisolone, prednisolone, prednisone, triamcinolone, and triamcinolone acetonide.
The presence of synthetic glucocorticoids in serum indicates current or recent use of these compounds. Since several of these compounds exceed the potency of endogenous cortisol by 1 or more orders of magnitude, even trace levels may be associated with Cushingoid features.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
This method cannot detect the presence of fluticasone propionate in serum. Fluticasone propionate is quickly metabolized to fluticasone 17-beta carboxylic acid in urine. To screen for this metabolite, order 17BFP / Fluticasone 17-Beta-Carboxylic Acid, Urine.
This method cannot detect all of the available synthetic steroids either available as pharmaceutical compounds or chemicals present in food. The assay confirms only the listed synthetic glucocorticoids. (See Interpretation)
Lack of detection does not preclude use of synthetic glucocorticoids because adrenal suppression may persist for some time after the exogenous steroid is discontinued.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
Cutoff concentrations
Betamethasone: 0.10 mcg/dL
Budesonide: 0.10 mcg/dL
Dexamethasone: 0.10 mcg/dL
Fludrocortisone: 0.10 mcg/dL
Flunisolide: 0.10 mcg/dL
Fluorometholone: 0.10 mcg/dL
Megestrol acetate: 0.10 mcg/dL
Methylprednisolone: 0.10 mcg/dL
Prednisolone: 0.10 mcg/dL
Prednisone: 0.10 mcg/dL
Triamcinolone: 0.30 mcg/dL
Triamcinolone acetonide: 0.10 mcg/dL
Values for normal patients not taking these synthetic glucocorticoids should be less than the cutoff concentration (detection limit).

15 Year Old Invents Algae-Powered Energy System
Thanks to 15 year old Texan Javier Fernández-Han, we feel a little more hopeful about the next generation's ability to adapt to a world of limited resources. The high school student developed a fully featured algae-powered energy system that combines a dozen new and existing technologies to treat waste, produce methane and bio-oil for fuel, produce food for humans and livestock, sequester greenhouse gases, and produce oxygen. Dubbed the VERSATILE system, the project is this year's winner of the annual Invent Your World Challenge $20,000 scholarship.
Fernández-Han's Versatile System consists of six subsystems: An anaerobic digester for sewage and food scraps, a bio-gas upgrader to turn gases from the digester into food for the algae, vented methane burning stoves, a CO2-capturing device, algae bioreactors to produce algae biomass and oxygen from sunlight, saltwater, and CO2, flush latrines, and the PlayPump, which uses energy derived from children playing to power the system.
According to Fernández-Han, the modular system is targeted at developing countries that need self-contained sources of power and waste disposal. The budding inventor envisions African villages lit up by the Playpump's LEDs, with excess methane to sell for income, reduced air pollution — thanks to methane burning stoves, and increased affordability of goats, pigs, and fish due to the availability of algae as feed. A scaled-down version of the system for a small house or apartment could cost as little as $200.
The algae-powered system hasn't yet been built, however, and skeptics will remain until it is. Even if Fernández-Han's design doesn't pan out as planned, we're thoroughly impressed by his innovative spirit.

This nubile Latina hottie was a treat. Beautiful eyes, perky tits, nice long legs and a great ass-and she sucked a mean cock as well! She was up for the Deepthroat Challenge-and I gave that throat quite a workout. She ended up gagging a few times but kept coming back for more-ending with jerking me off all over that pretty face. She was rewarded with a huge face full of cum that she licked up with a smile!

On Friday, Jan. 21, Taylor Swift will take the stage for another sold-out concert, this time in Mexico. As usual, her fans will be screaming, and Swift will almost definitely treat them to hits such as "Love Story" and "Back to December." But this time, after the show, fans won't have to worry about traffic headaches, though some might find themselves a little seasick. After all, they'll be on water.
The show, aboard Royal Caribbean's new Allure of the Seas, will take place while it's docked in the city of Cozumel. Many other cruise concerts, however, are nonstop, multi-day celebrations for all passengers.
Whether it's just playing on a docked ship, or performing — and then vacationing — among fans who are out to sea, Swift and a long list of other musicians are taking to music-themed cruises, a growing wave in travel and entertainment choices that features artists emphatically rocking the boat. Acts who have played these venues over the years include John Mayer, Zac Brown Band and Lynyrd Skynyrd.
And Nashville is playing a leading role. At the helm of many of these cruises is Sixthman, an Atlanta-based music cruise company founded by Nashville native Andy Levine. The company first sailed into uncharted territory with a rock-themed cruise in 2001, and it wrapped up the decade with 27 cruises, 10 in the past year alone. Throughout that time, the cruises have been packed with big Nashville names, including Kid Rock, Patty Griffin and Buddy Miller, as well as a handful of rising independent local artists. The cruise Cayamo, like most of Sixthman's excursions, will take its passengers from south Florida through scenic spots of the Caribbean.
"We're trying to be the best in the world at bringing like-minded people together on vacation," Levine says.

What's On In The Cave Tonight: July 26th, 2012 | July 26th, 2012
Hey, listen up, fellow Neanderthals! It is a special day here in the cave and we're going to be rocking it and rolling it like it is still the Pleistocene! One of our organizers is having a birthday today and we're wondering if you might not bring by a birthday card when you come to see a show tonight. It would be the coolest gesture to just give a small thank you to the festival "behind the scenes" people.
So here's what's on tonight:
House of X (Historic - 60 min)
7:00 pm
Encore (Reading Series - 75 min)
7:00 pm
Tyumen, Then (Lab - 60 min)
8:15 pm
STATIONARY (Historic - 60 min)
9:30 pm
The List (Site-specific downstairs kitchen - 50 min)
9:30 pm
Congrats to The List for selling out their whole run - the last show is tonight... so if you saw it, you were one of the lucky ones!
However if you are a fan of French-to-English translation, you can certainly come and see Encore - part of our Reading Series (which is admission by donation).
We're also pleased to bring you an early show of Tyumen, Then at 8:15 pm - they're on late tomorrow night at 10:15 if you miss them tonight.
Not to mention... House of X and Stationary will take charge of the Historic Stage... lots going on in the Cave tonight!
What's On In The Cave Tonight: July 25th, 2012 | July 25th, 2012
Ah, it's a beautiful day in Vancouver. Why not check out the Neanderthal Arts Festival?
If you need some convincing, Comrade, you can read the Plank Magazine review of Tyumen, Then (pronounced like Two-Mein - in case you were wondering).
And there are reviews of both The List and House of X in Jo Ledingham's Vancouver Courier write-up.
So here's what's on tonight:
The List (Site-specific downstairs kitchen - 50 min)
7:00 pm
Tyumen, Then (Lab - 60 min)
7:30 pm
House of X (Historic - 60 min)
8:45 pm
The List (Site-specific downstairs kitchen - 50 min)
9:00 pm
I encourage you to consider seeing Tyumen, Then - it's our national show that came out from Toronto (and is quite a different style than shows created by Vancouver theatre artists). Many thanks to director Andrea Donaldson for bringing her crew out to Vancouver for the West Coast premiere!
Also, I want you to consider checking out House of X - it's a strange exploration of love and violence and relationships. Here's a short quote from one of the audience members at the Plank Magazine talk-back: "I think it's beautiful... that it's this combination of music, gobbledygook, language, poetry, dance... to me, it was it."

Meaning & Origins
From an Old French name, Arnald, Arnaud, which is of Germanic (Frankish) origin, from arn 'eagle' + wald 'ruler'. It was adopted by the Normans and introduced to Britain by them. An early saint of this name, whose cult contributed to its popularity, was a musician at the court of Charlemagne. He is said to have been a Greek by birth; it is not clear when and how he acquired his Germanic name. It never entirely went out of use in England, and came back into more general favour in the 19th century, along with several other medieval Germanic names.

The common cold and influenza share a host of similar symptoms, but it's important to determine which illness is kicking your butt. "While a cold can make you feel awful for a few days, the flu can be serious and potentially life threatening," says Tanya Edwards, M.D., medical director at the Center for Integrative Medicine at the Cleveland Clinic. The best course of action when you start to feel sick is to rest, drink lots of fluids, take over-the-counter fever reducers, such as Tylenol, and suck on sore-throat lozenges to numb the pain, says Aaron Glatt, M.D., of the Infectious Diseases Society of America. A cold should ease up within three days. If it doesn't, it's likely the flu, so see your doctor ASAP. The list below can help you ID your illness.
Stuffy nose cold, flu
Sneezing cold, flu
Sore throat cold, flu
Cough cold, flu
Headache cold, flu
Fever flu
Extreme fatigue flu
Muscle aches flu
Nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea flu

Our Lady of Good Counsel High School senior Kendall Fuller turned to his sideline as he lined up at his cornerback position.
"What's the coverage?" Fuller said.
Before anyone could answer, DeMatha snapped the ball.
But Fuller, who's committed to Virginia Tech, never panicked. He knows, on every play, Good Counsel has enough talent to overwhelm its opponent. On this play, Harvard-bound linebacker Darien Carr intercepted a pass and returned it 55 yards.
"You can trust the other 10 guys that you have out on the field," Fuller said. "So, it's a lot. We all trust each other and when you trust your other teammates, things happen on the field."
Again and again Saturday, Good Counsel trusted its talent. The result was a 26-14 victory over DeMatha in the Washington Catholic Athletic Conference championship game at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium in Annapolis. Good Counsel has won four straight WCAC titles.
"There were a lot of misconceptions that our class wasn't as great because we don't have the Stefon Diggs or the Wes Browns, et cetera, et cetera," said senior Dorian O'Daniel said. "But, you know, we do have the Kendall Fullers and the Dorian O'Daniels and the Kirk Garners. Today, we showed that we can play with the best of them."
After Carr's interception, Good Counsel faced a fourth-and-goal at the 6 and the field goal unit took the field. But Milloy — trusting his talent — called a timeout, sent his offense back out and watched Virginia-bound quarterback Brendan "Whitey" Marshall throw a touchdown pass to Fuller.
"I'm just sorry I wasted a timeout on it," Milloy said. "I should have just called it anyway.
"To be honest with you, we probably didn't use our talents intelligently this year. Whitey and Kendall, the way they are, they're just unstoppable, and they showed it today."
Marshall threw three touchdown passes to Fuller, who finished with nine catches for 125 yards.
Fuller's second touchdown came late in the first half, capping another drive that showed Good Counsel's talent. On a hook-and-lateral earlier in the drive, Fuller caught a pass and pitched the ball to O'Daniel. That was followed by Marshall converting a fake punt with a pass to Nicholas Miller.
After DeMatha tied the game 14-14 on the first drive of the second half, Marshall and Fuller answered with their third touchdown to give Good Counsel a 20-14 lead.
Then, facing a fourth-and-goal from the 4 in the fourth quarter, Milloy didn't hesitate. O'Daniel, who gained all 140 of his rushing yards in the second half, ran for a touchdown to extend Good Counsel's lead to 26-14.
"You have to risk it to get the biscuit and that's what we did," said O'Daniel, who admitted even he was surprised by his team's bold play-calling.
Good Counsel cornerback Kirk Garner, who's committed to Virginia, intercepted a pass on DeMatha's next drive, starting a celebration that wasn't slowed until a game official, after repeated attempts, finally pulled Fuller and Marshall away to accept the WCAC championship trophy.
Milloy called his seniors "probably the nicest group of kids I've ever coached," making it even sweeter that they displayed their talent in full Saturday.
"They were just wonderful kids. Just bring every one of them home with you," Milloy said. "Gee whiz, I'm going to miss them."
DeMatha, which has lost four straight to Good Counsel, won't.
But after falling short of reaching the championship game for the first time in 15 years last season, DeMatha returned to the WCAC title game this season — a step in the right direction for second-year DeMatha coach Elijah Brooks.
"From an outsider's perspective, I guess you can call it a successful year," Books said. "But every time we start a season, the goal is to win the championship."
Before last season, when Gonzaga broke the streak, Good Counsel had faced DeMatha in seven straight WCAC title games. Is this a return to a perennial Good Counsel-DeMatha WCAC finale?
"Oh, yeah," Milloy said. "Their whole team is back. So, they're going to keep you up at night next year, too."

Fish oil supplements are an excellent way to add essential fatty acids, specifically the omega-3s EPA and DHA, to your daily diet. Omega-3s target a long list of health concerns. In fact, only vitamins C and E address a greater number of health conditions than omega-3 fatty acids. Typically made from salmon oil, cod liver oil or other cold water fatty fish, fish oil supplements derive their health benefits from the aforementioned eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid (EPA and DHA). Omega-3s enjoy the luxury of having a lot of scientific research to back up their importance for human health and wellness. Research shows that EPA and DHA alone can support everything from heart health to joint health, cholesterol health and even infant brain development. Swanson Health Products offers a wide range of fish oil supplements in varying potencies for all the members of your family.

Looks stable-nice job. It looks like you have a TIG machine (the filler in the background gives it away?), If so, you might want to make a tungsten holder on your stand so they don't roll away if you are sharpening several in the same grinding session. Also, your eye guards missing on the grinder.Terry

this machine costs $1200
I'm wondering if I can cobble up something similar for half the cost?
the feed pen costs $125
Looks like the feed pen has a cigarette 12v power supply and some sort of data cable to feed the spool wire.
are there any miller wire feeders that would work with this feed pen? if not are there any that could be modified relatively easily?
I saw this wire feeder on ebay, but a search on it here yielded no results
i have only tig welded so I am unfamilar with mig gear. will be used to weld 16gauge aluminum with Lincoln PT-275 machine.
just looking to speed up production.

you can download the entire user manual here:
Feeding Aluminum
Is your goal to mig weld aluminum or to tig it? The Miller feeder in your post is the control mechanism for an S60M feeder meant to feed wire in the mig process. The Profax feeder is very slow speed meant to feed wire into a tig puddle. If it is tig welding you are after, there are several used cold wire feeders out there for half the amount you mentioned. weldersales

Gallery: Skipark 360°: C.F. Møller's Slope-Shaped Indoor Ski Resort Wil...
At a height of 135 meters, the man-made skill hill would be one of Sweden's tallest buildings. The resort would be located in Balsta, about 45 minutes outside Stockholm, and close to a regional airport and highway so visitors could get to it easily. Boasting a striking fortress-like silhouette tapers to meet the forest floor below, Skipark will have spacious restaurants, shops, a spa, a hotel and conference facilities with panoramic views of the surrounding landscape, especially from the decks cut into the rooftop.
Inside, Skipark will have a multitude of activities for both recreational skiers and hard core competitors. The ski hill is 700 meters long and drops 160 meters with a total of 70,000 sq meters of area to play on. Visitors will be able to ski moguls, play hockey, cross country skate ski or even hit the kickers on their snowboards – almost every winter sport is represented. The impressive list of activities will allow the resort to play host to the World Cup, making it the only indoor facility of its kind to do so. The only thing that's missing is real powder.
To ensure that the facility minimizes its impact on the environment, it will be totally self-sufficient in terms of renewable energy. Skipark 360° will utilize geothermal, solar, wind and hydro power to achieve net zero energy and become the greenest ski resort in the world. Construction is expected to begin in 2013 or 2014 and open two years later to host 550,000 visitors each year.

What people are saying
We had a blast curling at the Marpole Curling Club! We are a group of very novice curlers that rented the entire club for a friendly event. The club met all of our needs and more. The instruction was friendly and clear and made everybody, even the greenest of curlers, feel comfortable. We ate and drank well and at very reasonable rates in the lounge over looking the ice. When the event concluded, most of the participants were already asking about next year's event and where they could sign up for beginners leagues. We are looking forward to returning next year! Chris L Event Organizer, Dec 2013

Churchill is a very pretty village in the heart of the Oxfordshire Cotswolds, and is home to many well-known residents. It is a picture perfect village with a gorgeous church and lovely Cotswold stone cottages. The Chequers is the village pub and is a favourite with locals and visitors alike. Sat in the heart of the village, it's a very popular place to visit and renowned for its Sunday lunch, so we popped along to see what we thought.
The Chequers has recently had a refit and is very smartly decorated in a rustic yet modern style, in keeping with the area. The Chequers is a pub, but the food is so much more than pub food. The building is divided into two sections; a bar with seating and a restaurant area with tables, with plenty of seating outside for the summer months.
The menu offers a fair bit of choice and has some lovely seasonal options, such as the delicious grilled asparagus I enjoyed to start. We also liked the confit duck salad as a starter, which was perfectly balanced and dressed.
For the main course, I had to try their renowned roast beef, which was very good, and I say that as someone who is often disappointed by roast dinners in restaurants. The beef was incredibly tender and served with delicious garlic courgettes, as well as a honey roast carrot, roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding and cauliflower cheese – a feast indeed. Another very popular choice on a Sunday is the half roast chicken with homemade mayonnaise, chips and salad, which was very nicely cooked and presented very attractively.
There is a wide choice of desserts, and we really enjoyed the lemon jelly and syllabub which was deliciously cool and sharp, which made a refreshing end to the meal, which we finished with a Monmouth coffee each.
The Chequers is a great destination for a relaxed meal in comfortable, yet informal surroundings. Make sure you book in advance!

Gallery: BEDZED: Beddington Zero Energy Development in London
The Beddington Zero Energy Development (BedZED) may not be new news, but is a fabulous example of innovative, zero-energy, sustainable housing on a multi-unit scale. The residential and workspace development in the London borough of Sutton is a carbon-neutral community with plentiful green spaces, recycling facilities, water saving features, and a legally binding green transport plan. It's the whole kit-and-caboodle of sustainable living, and has been a flourishing green community since its conception in 2002.
Designed by architect Bill Dunster, BedZED was conducted as a partnership between the BioRegional Development Group, the Peabody Trust, Bill Dunster Architects, Arup, and Gardiner and Theobald as cost consultants. The 82 houses, 17 apartments, and 1,405 m² of workspace were built between 2000-02, and the project was later shortlisted for the Stirling Prize in 2003.
The BedZED Development design meets very high environmental standards, with a strong emphasis on roof gardens, sunlight, solar energy, reduction of energy consumption, and waste water recycling. In terms of materials, BedZED is built from natural, recycled, or reclaimed materials. All the wood used is approved by the Forest Stewardship Council or comparable internationally recognized environmental organizations.
Using passive solar techniques, houses arranged in south facing terraces to maximize heat gain from the sun. Each terrace is backed by north facing offices, where minimal solar gain reduces the tendency to overheat and the need for energy-hungry air conditioning. A centralized heat and power plant (CHP) provides hot water, which is distributed around the site via a district heating system of super-insulated pipes. Should residents or workers require a heating boost, each home or office has a domestic hot water tank that doubles as a radiator. The CHP plant at BedZED is powered by off-cuts from tree surgery waste that would otherwise go to landfill.
One of BedZED's unique community considerations is its take on transportation. The entire development has been designed to encourage alternatives to car use. A green transport plan promotes walking, cycling, and use of public transport. A car pool for residents has been established, and all these initiatives have helped to provide a strategic and integrated approach to transport issues. BedZED's target is a 50% reduction in fossil-fuel consumption by private car use over the next 10 years compared with a conventional development. BedZED was the first low-car development in the UK to incorporate a car club, "ZEDcars." A "pedestrian first" policy with good lighting, drop curbs for prams (strollers) and wheelchairs, and a road layout that keeps vehicles to walking speed.
Additionally, designers took great consideration of the development's embodied energy, a measure of the energy required to manufacture a product. To reduce the embodied energy of BedZED, construction materials were selected for their low-embodied energy and sourced within a 35-mile radius of the site when possible. The energy expended in transporting materials to the site was therefore minimized.
And these highlighted features barely scratch the surface. BedZED boasts a laundry list of green innovations that were cutting edge in 2002 and continue to set a good example.

that is a very creative design. it is one of the most regious design i have come across as an architect. it is an act of holiness
February 28, 2008 at 7:30 am
I believe it is important to pioneer new technology and innovate new methods in construction. However, my point is whether or not it is ethically viable to award a development with zero carbon or of a sustainable status when implementing unproven technology?
January 30, 2008 at 1:12 pm
I would like to agree with some of your commments, you are the firstperson I have heard say that the PV cells are at the wrong angle, I understand they are capable of providing power for electric cars, how many other estate even have such charging points. With regards to the houses being small. Have you ever been in a new build house in South London? The houses at BedZED are large by local standards.I should know I live in one!
Without BedZED, and Peabody Trust the whole eco living agenda would still be stuck on the starting blocks, but ask your self this, where do I move to next? There is not a lot of cutting edge Eco design going on in the UK – we need more people like Bill Dunster, a true visionary
January 28, 2008 at 1:50 pm
Pioneers are never appreciated until someone takes THEIR idea and improves it. I commend everyone involved in this 'old' project. One doesn't learn to ride a bicycle without some bruises or skinned knees or both. (At least most of us don't.) If others didn't follow the lead given here, it's because they lack the courage and/or the imagination.
And as for Andy, what have you done that's better? Or do you just make yourself feel better by badmouthing others as so many 'critics' do?
Remember – If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem.
January 20, 2008 at 4:42 am
Andy hits the nail with "The cowls on the roof work but there are less obtrusive ways of achieving the same effect, hence icon, they are there so the build can be recognised as a Bill Dunster/ ZED Factory project".
When ego is allowed to predominate then the appropriate solution to site analysis will not be found except by accident, Design on Bill Dunsters terms is that the final product should look like 'his design'. In terms of building this is a determinist aproach instead of determined. By that i mean that rather than be influenced by site specific needs or in other words, true enviromentally sustainable design, he is determining without referance to the site what a sustainable design is. It like putting a solar panel on the wrong aspect because it looks better from the street or cooking a vegetarian meatloaf. There is no point designing sustainably if it is in fact not sustainable. Google my name and "the art of architecture" for a fuller explanation of the problem of designers imposing their egos onto problems of design.
January 20, 2008 at 2:10 am
I have been involved in the design and inplementation of a number of Ecological projects. Crystal Waters is probably the best known. BEDZED and others ( as well as CW) need to be looked at as pioneering projects. Crystal Waters is now more then 20 years old and yes, I could do better now ( and others , more talented could do even better). But without Village Homes, BEDZED and others which have all good and not so positive aspects we will not progress.
As designers and developers we have probably focused to much on technical fixes. I'm not sure if I would still instal the PV panels ( 36 in total! ) , but I would always integrate a garden, fruit trees, rainwater collection, "waste water "systems ( we use a Biolytix which works exceptionally well) and using Rammed earth was the right decision for out climate as well.
Personally I'm thankful to all the pioneers who have inspired me and allowed me to learn from their successes and mistakes.
January 19, 2008 at 2:13 pm
I visited BEDZED and several other sustainability projects as research for my fourth year civil eng project; design a carbon neutral office block. Nick you're right they are sedum but when its only a few inches thick for most of the roof the added value ecologically and thermally are minimal.
PV should be perpendicular to the sun for the greatest efficiency, yes I realise the sun moves but there is a range which it moves within and the angle of the panels does not fall in within the parameters. The PV is placed within the glazing (the PV is in a tartan pattern) which reduces solar gain whilst allowing natural light into the dwelling placing the PV behind glass lowers its efficiency, because the UK has lower light levels than say the middle east we need to do everything we can to make the panels cost effective. It may have been better to place the PV on a wall or roof and use smaller windows, tinted windows or solar shades to achieve the same effect at a lower price.
We were told everything we wanted to know about the site on the tour, ranging from everything that works and has been done to higher specs than UK standards, ie insulation levels, through to all of the problems such as the CHP. The cowls on the roof work but there are less obtrusive ways of achieving the same effect, hence icon, they are there so the build can be recognised as a Bill Dunster/ ZED Factory project
The reason I'm negative about this project is because is very old, I'm not aware of such a large scale project since which has the same high aspirations, and all of the wonderful things which BEDZED have been touted for seem to be very superficial, like the SEDUM roofs or the PV which doesn't really provide the site with much elec. The shared electric powered car scheme never took off, the layout of the site is poor and reminds me of labyrinth council estates from the eighties etc.
I do want to see more of these projects, and am hoping to be involved in the design build aspects but they must work otherwise its just a con
January 19, 2008 at 8:48 am
Hear hear PJ Nery. Any thing sustainable in its intentions is better than none at all. HOWEVER. as an artist designer I noticed that the latest project at Cornwall bears a remarkable resemblance to the one listed here. That is to my notion of a sympathetic response to site, a big failure of sensory openess. One has a design ethos and then one has a design hang up. If you can't come to a new site and envision a new reponse then your not looking at what is in front of you. you are imposing what you 'like' upon that which you see It never works and maybe that is the source of a lot of the problems that Andy and Nick allude to. A response to site in sustianable terms is far more than a response in 'design' terms. If the design is earily similar to that of another site, then i question the designers ability to see what they are actually looking at. beyond what they thenselves want to see.
January 18, 2008 at 7:35 pm
Nick's comments above were quite level headed, while some others read as just plain whiny. The project may have had issues, but what ground-breaking development doesn't? I applaud Dunster, and all others involved, for having the vision, courage and determination to get it built. I know he's contributing on a huge scale to making improvements to our carbon footprint and the sustainability of our built environment. Three cheers for ZED Factory.
January 18, 2008 at 8:52 am
@ andy,
Don't you think you ought to substantiate all of your negative claims?
You say the cowls are only an icon. What is the basis for this statement?
You say "the onnsite CHP plant doesnt work". What is your basis for saying this?
You say "the solar panels are with the double glazing and at the wrong angle reducing their efficeincy." Can you explain this? This seems like it would be very easy to do correctly.
January 18, 2008 at 8:03 am
Would be great if any of it actually worked…..
I know people at the firm who have the maintenance contract, its always breaking down.
January 18, 2008 at 6:55 am
Andy's right in most of what he says, although I should point out that without developments like this one we'd be much further behind in the design of sustainable housing. A lot has been learnt here. Just as a note, the roofs are sedum at the very top, not moss. The lower sections of roof are actually covered in grass, or whatever the occupants want them to be, as they're used as gardens. Unusually, your garden (if you're in the upper maisonette) is the garden in front of you, above the live/work space you face over the mews lane. You can see the bridges over to your garden in the photos.
Anyway, they were unlucky in a lot of areas – CHP has worked well in a lot of other places and they're apparently replacing the one at BedZED it with a much better model. Either way, Dunster (who I've met and is miserable as sin) has used much of what's been learnt and is doing some pretty exciting new projects which are worth a look. Overall, some parts of BedZED worked, a lot didn't, but we're all a lot better off for it having been built.
Here's an article about what went wrong, worth a read. Oh, the Zedfactory website is below that too. If you like sustainable architecture, the practice are at the forefront so it's definitely worth having a look…
January 18, 2008 at 2:22 am
wow, a 100% natural enegery operated house, I wonder when they will be in several homes ?, I found a great article related to this here, http://www.opentopix.com/topic/other/100-run-green-energy-household
January 17, 2008 at 7:49 pm
Looks like a good addition for the Island of Sodor. Now all they have to do is make Thomas the Tank Engine run on Hydrogen.
January 17, 2008 at 4:22 pm
this project is so old now. an nothing that i'm aware of has been built with the same aims of "zero (fossil) emmision dwelling" (ZED) on such a scale since. everyone praises this project but the onsite CHP plant doesnt work and the peabody trust forced the CHP company to go bust trying initially to make it meet the specs in the brief and then later on to fix the plant. the buildings are tiny inside and whilst built to a high quility, the green roof is simply moss an so has no higher thermal qualities. the solar panels are with the double glazing and at the wrong angle reducing their efficeincy. the cowls are an icon more than a usfeul addition. these houses are not much better than anyother standard well built home in the UK. i do believe we need more projects like this, but they must work otherwise its pointless, and expensive.

Alex Berezow and Stephen Meyer talk about God and Evolution on the Michael Medved Show
"I believe that demonstrating the existence of intelligent agency with the tools of science is impossible." - Alex Berezow

"I believe that demonstrating the existence of intelligent agency with the tools of science is impossible." - Alex Berezow
In a recent book review published in Christian Century, BioLogos content manager Jim Stump endeavors to reclaim the word "design."
If, according to evolutionary theory, the human species has evolved from non-human ancestors over the course of hundreds of thousands of years, how might we understand humans as uniquely bearing the image of God?
St. Thomas Aquinas helps us understand how the image of God in man might have developed through evolution.
From a Judeo-Christian perspective, all of these curiosities dovetail into a profoundly meaningful explanation: Being made in God's image helps to explain our creative and investigative skills, particularly when we consider that God has specially engineered this universe to reveal himself to human beings.
The BioLogos Book Club discussion of Francis Collins' The Language of God.
We can understand why man, modern man in particular, would like to mop the floors and bleach the walls. We might not be able to tame reality, but we can tame our perception of reality. We intellectualize in order to feel in control.
"There was no better way, in Boyle's opinion, to 'give us so great a Wonder and Veneration' for God's wisdom, than 'by Knowing and Considering the Admirable Contrivance of the Particular Productions of that Immense Wisdom,' by which he mainly meant the exquisitely fashioned parts of animals both great and small."
The idea that the story we know is only the very beginning raises a new question in place of Feynman's objection that Christianity is provincial. Is it presumptuous to claim that in such a grand universe, possibly with intelligent life arising in many places, the redemption and transformation of the entire cosmos starts here, on our pale blue dot?
The world is not full of items stamped "made by God"—the Creator is more subtle than that—but there are two locations where general hints of the divine presence might be expected to be seen most clearly. One is the vast cosmos itself, with its fifteen-billion-year history of evolving development following the big bang. The other is the "thinking reed" of humanity, so insignificant in physical scale but, as Pascal said, superior to all the stars because it alone knows them and itself.
This ongoing series written by historian Ted Davis begins with a brief synopsis of his personal background, and then goes on to reveal his passion for debunking "the now-common view that the history of science and Christianity is one of ongoing, inevitable conflict."
This series by Denis Alexander reflects on advancements in genomics as well as their theological implications. He focuses on the relatedness of hominin genomes, arguing that this does not interfere with the image of God in humans. The image of God depends more on the capacity for relationship and covenant, not on a list of particular physical qualities. He then discusses why the recent studies of genomics provide "no grounds for genetic determinism."
In this five-part series, David Williams responds to the book The Magician's Twin: C.S. Lewis on Science, Scientism, and Society by John West and the Discovery Institute, showing that C.S. Lewis was a very complicated thinker whose views are hard to line up exactly with any camp in the current debates over the compatibility of Christian faith and evolutionary science.
If God himself is willing to die, particularly in such a gruesome way, then perhaps we should at least consider the possibility of God allowing the death of other creatures, too. But would this really be compatible with what we know of God through Scripture?
In this series, we reexamine the claim made by Intelligent Design proponent Michael Behe to have found a limit to "Darwinian" evolution in light of recent results from the laboratory of Richard Lenski.
The debate is often not about evidence, but about making sure that others do not transgress our interpretive boundaries and insist that we're wrong. We've bitten from the tree of knowledge and we love its taste.
The BioLogos Foundation explains to the findings of the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) project and responds to the claims that its discoveries challenge the theory of evolution, especially regarding so-called "junk DNA".
Towards the end of the last school year, the Tennessee legislature passed the Teacher Protection Academic Freedom Act, a law that became more popularly known as the "Monkey Bill." I was doing research in a Tennessee high school biology classroom the morning that I learned that the bill had passed.

This gun was made in about a week when I saw DGM's attempt at a single shot. I decided to make my own bland and uninnovative single shot since there was some stuff from the rectangle that I didn't really like off the bat. I then built this so I could make a single shot that would fit my agenda for a good gun.
One of Oblivitus's comments when he was a mentor to me then struck me, and I decided to borrow parts off of other guns and combine them to make a single shot that would work for me better than others. Innovation was not a priority here, but I have made a new ammo storage container that can hold 6 red rods; it is located on the bottom.
Anyways, here is pros/cons
- very comfortable
- true trigger
- powerful due to the singleshot
- 60-70 feet with the bands pictured, can shoot in the 80's with #64's
- lightweight (I can hold it in one hand, but it is recommended you use 2 so that you can aim easier
- comes with 2 foregrips
- Brand new ammo holder (holds 6 yellow or red rods)
- looks cool
- nothing too new, other than the ammo holder. I am sure you guys dont care because the Rectangle was not new, and you guys still liked it.
- low ROF due to singleshot/
Note- DO NOT substitute any parts here.
Go to step 9 to view a major update with the gun.
Step 1: Stock
1- overview
2- view of the front
3- view of the rear
4- build these 2 parts
5- add the orange part to the stock
6- Add the other part to the blue connector
7- build the firing pin (this early? Yeah.) Remember the tape!
rr type, semi-auto: med rof, low-med range, gen. low pwr, semi-accurate
rr type, full-auto: high rof, gen. low range, gen. low pwr, unaccurate
ss type, semi auto: low-med rof, long range, high pwr, semi-dead accurate
ss type, full-auto: high rof, long range, high pwr, semi-dead accurate.
(general statistics) *in my opinion*
And if it's good, why give it a rating at all? Why rate stuff at all? Screw ratings.
See? day. Not year.
and funny name :P
:) Pinda 4 life xD

Startups face all sorts of complex challenges.
For Sidelines founders Vinay Kuruvila, Arka Ray and Marios Assiotis, the biggest hurdle was whether they could actually build their startup in the U.S. Two of the three co-founders, though previously working in various roles at Amazon.com and Microsoft, didn't have work visas when they started kicking around the idea for their sports social network.
With help from a lawyer and support from venture capital firms, the team made their case to immigration officials. And now they are running full steam ahead with Sidelines.
"We're hoping that our story will inspire other foreign entrepreneurs who want to start companies and create jobs for the U.S., but are daunted by the hurdles presented by archaic U.S. immigration policies for skilled foreign workers," notes Kuruvila, a 28-year-old former software development manager at Amazon.
Here's more from our chat with Kuruvila for our latest Startup Spotlight. Enjoy!
Explain what you do so our parents can understand it: "Sidelines is a social network for sports fans, that lets users share sports-related opinions, photos, videos and articles with their friends and other fans."
Inspiration hit us when: "As sports nuts ourselves, we realized that all sports fans have a real-world network of friends around each of the teams or players they follow. They regularly share opinions, articles, videos and photos with this specific set of friends, usually over email, Facebook or Twitter. The problem with long email threads is that it it's a poor user experience. Facebook and Twitter on the other hand are very noisy, so thoughtful insights about sports get mixed with cat photos and parody videos, and are often missed by the people who may be most interested in them.
We also noticed that many sports fans are looking to connect to the broader community around their teams, because we see so much activity on game threads and team forums. Yet, again the user experience for these game threads and forums look like something from 1999, and we felt we had a big opportunity to make these scenarios better.
Finally, we saw the rise of many vertical social networks in the past two years: Pinterest for (primarily) fashion, Instagram for photos, Foodspotting for food, Fitocracy for fitness, LinkedIn for business, and so on. Most of these networks are succeeding because their focus on a specific vertical enables them to tailor the user experience around that vertical, and eliminate the noise that's present on Facebook and Twitter. Looking at this landscape, we felt strongly that we had a similar massive opportunity to create a vibrant social community around sports that connect fans to each other around their favorite teams and players."
VC, Angel or Bootstrap: "We're bootstrapped and that has enabled us to stay heads-down focused on our product, user acquisition and engagement, without being distracted by fund-raising. We received two angel investment offers from some well-known investors in the Valley a few of months ago, but turned those offers down because we weren't raising money at that time. We will be looking to raise a seed round very soon, so we can grow the team and accelerate our growth."
The smartest move we've made so far: "We see a lot of consumer startups going mobile-first with their products because mobile is an exploding platform, and there is a lot of investor interest in mobile products. However, we deliberately took the opposite approach. We launched on the web first, and this has worked out really well for us. It's much faster to iterate on the web because there isn't an App Store approval process, users don't have to download the update, and we can push out new changes and experiment rapidly. Finally, user acquisition on the web is easier than on mobile where you have to rely on getting featured on the App Store or getting press. We're going to keep adding features to our web app until the end of the year, but will release mobile apps on all major devices starting early next year."
The biggest mistake we've made so far: "When we launched Sidelines, we first tried marketing the product on various fan forums. We spent some time commenting on these forums with relevant links back to Sidelines, and we were generating a fair amount of traffic back to the site. However, we realized that this was extremely time-consuming and didn't scale well. So, we shifted our focus to optimizing the virality in our product and encouraging our users to invite their friends. These experiments turned out to be extremely successful and we now have each user inviting an average of 30 friends to the site."
Would you rather have Gates, Jobs, Zuckerberg or Bezos in your corner: "Since Sidelines is fundamentally a social product, we'd rather have Mark Zuckerberg in our corner. Mark gets social and sharing more than anyone else, and his insights/advice would be invaluable for Sidelines. Sidelines also leverages the Facebook platform in a big way and Facebook is our primary means of user acquisition, so picking Mark is a no-brainer."
Our world domination strategy starts when: "Sidelines is well-known as the best place to share sports opinions or content. Our goal is to eventually have a "Share on Sidelines" button on the front page of ESPN….We also think Sidelines would be a perfect channel for teams, players, sportswriters and brands to reach out to their fans."
Rivals should fear us because: "Most sports sites today are entirely focused on content or the latest news. Sidelines puts the focus squarely on the sports fan, and what he has to say about the content, and the conversations that can spark amongst his group of friends and the broader community. This social aspect of sports is much more engaging for users than the content itself. Our goal is to capture all of the rich passions, emotions and opinions that fans have around their favorite teams and players."
We are truly unique because: "We seed our ecosystem with great sports content (articles, blog posts, videos etc.) which users can then re-share with their own opinions. We've built a crawler which crawls over 5000 sports sites, and finds the most popular sports content. The crawler then ranks and prioritizes that content and associates it with the right teams and players. We pull all of that content into Sidelines and surface it to our users based on what teams they are interested in (like the Seahawks). We're seeing this resonate well with our users as a lot of them are re-sharing that content to their followers with their own opinions. This is a very different model from sites like Pinterest where users have to go outside the Pinterest ecosystem to bring in new content."
The biggest hurdle we've overcome is: "We had to secure work visas for two of the co-founders since they are not U.S. citizens or permanent residents. This was a major hurdle for us because the U.S, Citizenship and Immigration Services has very stringent regulations around granting visa applications from early-stage start-ups. However, we had a great lawyer who prepared a strong case on our behalf. We also got a couple of partners at venture capital firms, including Voyager in Seattle, to write letters to the USCIS urging them to approve our petitions. All this effort was worth it because our petitions were approved much earlier than we expected, enabling us to get back to focusing 100 percent on our product."
What's the one piece of advice you'd give to other entrepreneurs just starting out: "Shorten your timeframes until you start seeing two weeks as an eternity. Have a clear set of metrics that you're using to measure the success of your product either around user acquisition, engagement or monetization. Regularly push out new features and tweaks to existing features, and look at your metrics to see what works and what doesn't."
