Fun Activities, Electric Cars, Segways, the Worm Lady and Much More
Saturday, October 16, 10:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.
See how you can start erasing your carbon footprint
ORLANDO, FL - October 08, 2010 - Join the Green Revolution at Orlando Science Center on Saturday, October 16. From 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., exhibits, seminars, workshops, speakers, films and more will highlight the fast-developing world of clean, renewable energy, recycling and energy efficient technology. Activities and displays on the various levels of the Science Center will help educate and provide examples of alternative behaviors and resources to live a "greener" life. Greenovations is presented by OUC - The Reliable One with support from many community partners.
Targeted at the residential energy consumer, Greenovations will provide hands-on activities for children and adults that have an environmental awareness focus. For example, have fun and learn about the importance of recycling while creating artwork and fashion from recycled plastics or discover your direct environmental impact by measuring your carbon footprint. There will also be tours of the Science Center's new state-of-the-art eco-friendly HVAC system and its array of 144 solar panels. These efforts are part of the Science Center's commitment to increase its energy efficiency, decrease operational costs and help serve as a community leader in the use of sustainable technologies.
Spend quality time with the family during this day of science fun and discovery as you learn how to be kinder to Mother Earth. Displays will also provide opportunities to learn about recycling, water conservation, and solar energy. Segway of Central Florida will also be onsite giving live demonstrations for guests. Through demonstrations, attendees will learn about the technology of zero-emission transportation, its uses, and how Segways work. In addition to guest speakers on topics ranging from taming light pollution to displays of electric cars, guests will enjoy experiencing the Science Center's ongoing lineup of exhibits like the new earth and space science display, Our Planet, Our Universe, and classic favorites like KidsTown, Science Park and NatureWorks.
If you are you looking to go beyond traditional "green" practices, the newest sustainable living trends can also be found. Come stop by NatureWorks to learn about vermicomposting, a technique that uses several different species of worms to break down kitchen and garden scraps, as well as cardboard boxes and newspapers. Our "Worm Lady" will address the importance of worms, how they help compost waste and how you can build your own worm box!
Thanks to the Walmart Foundation, admission that day will be $5 for everyone and will include access to all the Greenovations activities as well as all the Science Center's exhibits and giant screen films. Additional partners and sponsors of Greenovations include Kohler, Ferguson, the Florida Renewable Energy Association, Azur Solar, City of Orlando, IKEA, Nova Charge, Orange County/CFEEA, Segway, Superior Solar and Sybac Solar. For more information on Greenovations, please call 407.514.2000.

Goals: This spacecraft was designed to orbit the Moon and study the lunar environment.
Accomplishments: Luna 10 was the first spacecraft to orbit the Moon. It achieved 460 orbits over 56 days before its batteries were depleted and it stopped transmitting. During that time, tracking data showed that the spacecraft's orbit was being distorted by strong irregularities in the Moon's gravity field, providing the first evidence that the Moon's internal composition wasn't uniform. It also provided data on the Moon's weak-to-nonexistent magnetic field, radiation belts, and atmosphere; its surface composition; and the region's cosmic radiation and micrometeoroid density.

INTERVIEW: Takaharu Tezuka Incorporates Nature and Function in Architecture
Westerners often look on in bewilderment at Japanese architectural design. The West is more accustomed to the idea that worth runs parallel to pageantry and plethora, to the point where it is assumed that as one accumulates wealth, the physical world around them undergoes a kind of metamorphosis – the number of rooms in their house multiply, hallways stretch out until the vanishing point, and living rooms swell into yawning spaces of impossible size. But this trend can detract from the pleasure of living in such an environment, with function being lost in the pursuit of grandeur, making the end result the architectural equivalent of a Rube Goldberg device with thousands of unnecessary independent parts, haphazardly working together to accomplish the single task of creating a home.
However, many Japanese architects have approached home design from the complete opposite direction. Instead of turning their eyes outwards to the vastness of space, they instead opt to focus inward, looking at home design through a microscope to achieve serene and subtle living environments that are difficult for Western eyes to appreciate at first glance.
Takaharu Tezuka is one such architect, and he holds a profound belief in the concept of design with a surgical knife rather than a hacksaw, and the importance of creating functional homes uniquely catered to the residents living within. "Everything we design is about human activity," Tezuka says. "We are interested in what people want to do in our building."
Tezuka says that this idea is partly based off of a philosophy by psychologist James Gibson called "affordance." According to affordance theory, every object contains a specific functional purpose. "For instance," explains Tezuka, "a chair is for people to sit in, while a ladder allows you to climb. Everything has a kind of action and emotion and so our design is about what people want to do in their home."
To give an example of how he has instilled this concept into his design, he refers to one of his firm's most famous projects – Roof House. Tezuka says that he was commissioned to design a home for a family that particularly enjoyed relaxing on their roof. Working from this simple starting point, he designed the home so that every room has a skylight through which one can access the roof by way of a ladder. Tezuka says this is perhaps the best and most basic example of his design philosophy – a design which appears so simple, but yet which contains many subtleties that one may not immediately notice.

Note: This is a basic apple cider instructable. For more ideas, see Hot Ginger-Spiced Apple Cider by ewilhelm or Home Brew Hard Cider from Scratch by actsofsubterfuge.
Step 1: Apple Cider vs. Apple Juice
"(1) There is no difference at all. (Source: large midwestern bottler.) Uncle Sam confirms that there is no legal distinction. In other words, it is all marketing booshwa. But see below."
"(2) The store-bought stuff is juice, the homemade stuff is cider. (Source: East Coast conglomerate; also, the old edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica.) The product you buy from roadside stands usually has not been pasteurized. Consequently, it ferments over time, giving it a mildly alcoholic kick. What you buy in the store, in contrast, is pasteurized soon after crushing, preventing fermentation and resulting in a pleasant but kickless taste. The manufacturers call their product cider in the fall for marketing purposes."
"(3) Cider is made from apples that are picked early. (Source: Washington State outfit that claims to be the country's largest maker of juice and cider.) Early-harvest apples supposedly have higher acid and lower sugar content, producing a drink with a tangier taste. Thus true cider remains cider after processing because pasteurization doesn't affect the acid/sugar content. Therefore, the company claims, it's possible to make not only frozen cider concentrate, contrary to your assertion, but also "sludgy"--i.e., unfiltered, hence cloudy--apple juice. The guy I got all this from says his company is quite scrupulous about monitoring the acidity of its product and changing the labels accordingly."
I love apple cider
Having said that, I love non-alcoholic cider...apple juice, I can take it or leave it.
One thing I have noticed through the years is that non-alcoholic cider has bits & pieces of apple in it..very small bits & pieces. does this add to the flavor? I have no idea, but I think it adds to the experience of enjoying the cider.
TY Sir for sharing!!
looks like I'm going shopping tomorrow!! :)
I think 10 - 15 pounds of apples should make enough cider to last me a while...LOL
"Wikipedia makes a distinction between "Cider" and "Apple Cider", with only the former being alcoholic: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_cider
So, it's just language, but using "Apple Cider" to describe the non-alcoholic drink is certainly a common usage.
Now you know!"
We learn something new everyday! I was also convinced that cider has to be fermented...
So, it's just language, but using "Apple Cider" to describe the non-alcoholic drink is certainly a common usage.
Now you know!
Then you ferment the alcohol to acetic acid by acetobacter.
In plain words: Make hard cider and let it go bad ;-)
I take the pulp left over and boil with water for about an hour to pick up the apple zest and strain and ad same as above, also sugar... I sometimes use the pulp left over in a pie (store bought shells) or tarts... mmmm
this is noting like it


text: I think they gave up at some point after the 5th or 6th game. They were in a few of the early games like 23-20 loss to Pitt and 28-24 loss to KC but the 62-7 loss to the Saints was the obvious game where they quit. Add to that their coach was Jim Caldwell who was one of the absolute worst coaches anywhere, it made for a perfect storm. I know Caldwell from his days as the head coach of Wake Forest when he was 26-53 in 8 seasons...watching him on TV in a preseason interview when asked about recruiting he replied "we're not going to get good recruits, this is Wake Forest"...that just told me all I needed to know. Him being hired was a similar situation to when Jimmy Johnson brought Wannstedt in here to be his replacement. Tony Dungy brought Caldwell in to be his replacement and he set the team up for failure in the process. Peyton Manning was the real coach of that team.

Red Sox pitcher Ryan Dempster announced that he'd sit out the 2014 season at spring training today, voluntarily relinquishing the $13.25 million he was scheduled to make this year.

— Alex Speier (@alexspeier) February 16, 2014
The Red Sox can place Dempster on the restricted list, keeping him under contract without paying him while freeing up
cap space money for any possible free agents (like, say, shortstop Stephen Drew). The right-hander was on the fringe of Boston's starting staff, with Jon Lester, John Lackey, Clay Buchholz, and Jake Peavy tentatively holding spots, and Felix Doubront and Brandon Workman vying for the end of the rotation.
Dempster, who's pitched for 16 years, doesn't know if this is his official retirement, and plans to consider his options after the season. Currently, though, he doesn't think he can do an acceptable job this season.

September is National Chicken Month, so it's especially fitting that this month the ASPCA launched a national campaign to improve the lives of the nearly 9 billion chickens raised and slaughtered every year for meat. The Truth About Chicken is a big initiative for a big problem.
As the graph below shows, since 1920 the average weight of a meat chicken has risen while the time it takes to reach "slaughter weight" has shrunk. This is no accident. In the name of producing as much cheap white breast meat as possible, modern chickens have been bred for unnaturally fast and disproportionate weight gain.
On factory farms, where 99% of them live, chickens are packed into windowless sheds by the tens of thousands where in just over six weeks, they explode from tiny chicks into top-heavy, sumo-sized six-pound birds. That's almost a pound of weight gain a week!
The weight strains the birds' bones and organs, which haven't had enough time to develop, causing all kinds of breakdown: broken bones, torn tendons, difficulty breathing, heart attacks and birds who collapse under their own weight. Overburdened but still youngsters, these chickens lie in their own waste for much of their lives, causing burns and open sores on their chests and feet. These wounds allow in Salmonella, campylobacter and other pathogens that can make consumers sick.
As farmer Will Harris states, "We have successfully bred most of the chicken out of the chicken. A chicken in 1940, raised for 14 weeks to maturity, could fly. A chicken in 2010, raised for 6 weeks to maturity, struggles to walk."
We're fighting for better lives for chickens and we need your help. Tell the industry that you won't stand for this kind of cruelty in the name of profit. Take action at TruthAboutChicken.org today!

I have a cake business and am constantly looking for good recipes. I decided to try this recipe for an order. I don't care for coconut, so I was going on faith. The customers LOVED this cake! I had such positive feedback that I will be using this for future Italian Cream Cake orders. Thanks!!!
This is not as good as it sounded. Real disappointed! Needs "something".
Won't make again.

A co-worker of my husband asked me to bake for her for Christmas and she asked for an Italian Cream Cake. I had never made one, so this is the recipe I settled on. She said she didn't want coconut, so I left it out...but added 1 t. of coconut extract for the flavor. Other than than I made the cake exactly by the recipe. I doubled the frosting recipe because I wanted to be sure that I had enough left over to decorate with..and I had plenty with even some left over. You need a lot just because it's such a tall cake with the three layers. Anyway, she said everyone loved it...and that the frosting was delicious! I even took a picture of it and posted it...I was very pleased!
First off, this cake was great! I changed things up a bit, it may be something you might want to consider. The first thing I did differently was instead of round pans I used a 9X13 slab. It was easier to transport and cut, I was able to get 16 very generous pieces, you could get more if you cut smaller, next time I will. Since this was following Christmas dinner I wanted to lighten things up a little (I dont mean calories here) So I used the cream cheese frosting in the middle, and a thin layer on top (I cut the whole slab in 1/2), and then frosted the whole outside with sweetened whip cream. I think if I frosted the whole thing with the cream cheese it would have been to much for our already stuffed bellies. You will have a bit of leftover creamcheese icing, ice some cookies or something. It was a really good cake, the only reason why I didnt give it 5 stars was because it was a little denser than I would have liked but I did cut the cake in 1/2 while it was still warm so that may have caused a little deflation so I will never know if it was supposed to be like that or if it was my own fault. Probably the latter. It was pretty damn tasty though.
This is my new favorite cake!!!!! Followed the recipe exactly except I made 1.5 times the amount of icing, the original amount just wasn't enough to generously ice three layers of cake. Next time I may reduce the coconut, just a personal preference, but it was delicious!!!
Tip: to make beating the whites to peaks easier, be sure to separate them and then let them sit at room temp for a bit.
Excellent and very easy. I only used 1 cup coconut and I added 1 tsp of Almond Extract for the authenic Italian cake. So good. Next time I may decrease the coconut to 3/4 cup.
I'm not a very good baker. Most of my baking is right out of the box. This is an excellent cake. My friends and family loved it. My biggest fear of scratch baking is a dry cake. This is a very moist cake that is so delicious. I used cake flour instead of all-purpose flour. I also used butter instead of margarine. I doubled the cream cheese and butter but not the powdered sugar for the icing.
This is a keeper!
Great recipe. Some ideas: put lemon or lime curd in between the layers and on the top of the cake. Add some toasted crushed pecans to the icing and top the cake (and curd) with toasted coconut. Beautiful presentation and the tartness of the curd is a wonderful complement to the sweetness of the cake. You'll REALLY enjoy this recipe.

But Jack, Abuse is Not Mistreatment
Marty Lederman
Jack, Jack -- you still don't get it, do you? Yes, of course this sort of abuse was promoted by Geoffrey Miller, and was sanctioned by high-level officials in the Pentagon (who told Miller, but not their own lawyers, about what was legally permissible under their nouveau theory of the Constitution).
I already commented on the previous post that I do not believe that soldiers would act that way -- that the abusers were civilians (either government or contractor). In the Abu Ghraib scandal, as well, the perpetrators were not front-line soldiers but rear echelon cannot-get-a-job-in-the-real-world 38-year old MPs and affirmative action 98-pound would- be-on-welfare-otherwise white trash girls. I do not know that this degradation of our military forces can be laid entirely at the feet of the Shrub. Sure, his current AG wrote torture memos which would get lawyers in some jurisdictions disbarred. But it seems to me that the military has been degraded too much by the social experimenters who have limited its ability to choose the best person for the job.
I've known people on gov't assistance and maybe considered "white trash." They have a lot more shame that the leadership here.
Somehow, and reading some history reaffirms the sentiment, I don't think many of the average recruit in various past wars would meet your standards either.
Hey, Joe,
I'm a poor boy too. All I wanted to say was that real soldiers are not the ones who are doing this s__t. It's the borderline Section-8's and 4-F's who were forced on the services by the affirmative action/political correctness crowd.
well, if getting these people to oppose torture requires catering to reactionary preconceptions about "white trash," I suppose that's a decent trade-off. NK isn't all that accurate, though, if you look at who was doing this stuff in Gitmo and Bagram.
I think what's going on here is that the administration, and by extension the military, simply don't regard embarassing people to be "torture". A word they reserve for treatment which actually causes pain and/or physical damage to the body.
And I have to admit I have a hard time getting any outrage up about wrapping people in Israeli flags, even if I think their definition of torture is a *tad* narrow.
Oh Marty, you are such a card. ;)
As for the lingering confusion as to who, what, and how (by posters, not Marty or Jack), please see the remarks of Prof. McCoy, who has a good bit more than a clue here...

Orbital are a British electronic dance music duo from Sevenoaks, England consisting of brothers Phil and Paul Hartnoll. Their career initially ran from 1989 until 2004, but in 2009 they announced that they would be reforming and headlining The Big Chill, in addition to a number of other live shows in 2009. The band's name was taken from Greater London's orbital motorway, the M25, which was central to the early rave scene and party network in the South East during the early days of acid house. One of the biggest names in British electronica during the 1990s, Orbital were both critically and commercially successful, and known particularly for their element of live improvisation during shows, a rarity among techno acts. They were initially influenced by early electro and punk rock.

Does Cannabis Oil cure cancer?
According to more and more people, that seems to be the case in certain situations such as skin cancer and many others as well. It's a long held belief going back into at least the 1800s that Cannabis Oil heals.
Check out this video and see what folks have to say about it...

Re: Does Cannabis Oil cure cancer?
Probably one of the other biggest crimes being committed by the government is making and keeping cannabis illegal. When people start catching on to the lies about cannabis and realize how important and beneficial it is for humans, they will force the powers that be to make it legal and it will be a giant leap forward. The health and other industries will vastly change for the better. Just hope humans don't blow themselves up before then.

This came in as spam, but the subject caught my attention and I followed the link to the site.
The developing medical science seems to concur that cannabis oil is an effective treatment in dealing with cancer.
The site looks to be a solicitation to invest in a company developing cannabis based pharmaceutical products.

Looks like the police state that the Obama Administration is aggressively creating is in action as it raided a medicinal clinic at the heart of it all in Oakland, California. There's information on it below along with a petition sponsored by DemandProgress.org...
To Obama/Holder: Keep Your Promises And Stop Arresting Medical Marijuana Patients
The Obama/Holder Justice Department is continuing its persecution of medical marijuana patients. Today it raided the hub of the California medical marijuana movement, a center in Oakland that's called Oaksterdam University.
Here's a report from Jesse, a Demand Progress member and activist:
I'm so sad. I'm almost speechless. All day on Facebook and Ustream I've been watching my close friends, who I hang out with all the time, being verbally and physically abused by federal police.
The police arrested Rich, pushed Danielle, knocked over Steph, and hit Mischa with a car. All four are patients and activists. All this abuse and violence was paid for with my federal tax dollars.
Oaksterdam was founded in 2007 and offers classes on the cultivation, health, and legal issues related to medical marijuana. These attacks directly contradict repeated promises that Obama made during the 2008 campaign -- statements like:
I would not have the Justice Department prosecuting and raiding medical marijuana users. It's not a good use of our resources. (August 21, 2007, event in Nashua, New Hampshire)
Please sign ourpetition and tell them to back down. We'll send an email to the Justice Department with this note included:
NOTE TO PRESIDENT OBAMA AND ATTNY GENERAL HOLDER: You're wasting federal resources and breaking your promises through your ongoing persecution of medical marijuana patients. It's time for you to back down.
Tell Obama and Holder to keep their promises and stop arresting patients.

Re: Does Cannabis Oil cure cancer?
What'll probably happen is, marijuana will stay illegal but cannabis will be turned into a trillion dollar big pharma industry. So you wont be able to grow it yourself but you'll be able to buy cannabis for a high price from a large drug company.
For the second time in recent months, a scientific paper published in a peer-reviewed journal has thoroughly rebutted the present Schedule I status of cannabis under US federal law, which states that the plant and its organic constituents possess a "high potential for abuse," and that they lack "accepted medical use" and "accepted safety … under medical supervision."
According to a just published review in the German scientific journal Deutsches Ärzteblatt International, scientific findings from over 100 controlled clinical trials involving either cannabis or its constituents provide "clear evidence that cannabinoids are useful for the treatment of various medical conditions."
Investigators from the nova-Institute and the Hannover Medical School in Germany reviewed over 100 controlled trials assessing the safety and efficacy of cannabis and cannabinoids.
Researchers reported: "Knowledge about the therapeutic potential of cannabis products has been greatly improved by a large number of clinical trials in recent years. … There is now clear evidence that cannabinoids are useful for the treatment of various medical conditions," including chronic neuropathy (nerve pain), multiple sclerosis, HIV/AIDS, Gilles de la Tourette syndrome, and other indications.
Regarding the safety profile of cannabis and cannabinoids, investigators determined: "The most common side effects of cannabinoids are tiredness and dizziness (in more than ten percent of patients), psychological effects, and dry mouth. Tolerance to these side effects nearly always develops within a short time. Withdrawal symptoms are hardly ever a problem in the therapeutic setting."

I think they're doing this in the UK. It's not legal to be in possession of cannabis but pharmaceuticals are manufacturing tinctures and extracts of cannabis to sell through prescriptions.
Re: Does Cannabis Oil cure cancer?
It should be illegal what the people in control are doing. It's inexcusable and unforgivable and maybe one day the people will wake up and realize how much they've been scammed and screwed. Not just concerning this, but with almost every aspect of life.
This incredible natural resource which should be available to everyone, has been made illegal and is being patented by a select few.
A pair of scientists at California Pacific Medical Center in San Francisco has found that a compound derived from marijuana could stop metastasis in many kinds of aggressive cancer, potentially altering the fatality of the disease forever.
"It took us about 20 years of research to figure this out, but we are very excited," said Pierre Desprez, one of the scientists behind the discovery, to The Huffington Post. "We want to get started with trials as soon as possible."
The Daily Beast first reported on the finding, which has already undergone both laboratory and animal testing, and is awaiting permission for clinical trials in humans.
Desprez, a molecular biologist, spent decades studying ID-1, the gene that causes cancer to spread. Meanwhile, fellow researcher Sean McAllister was studying the effects of Cannabidiol, or CBD, a non-toxic, non-psychoactive chemical compound found in the cannabis plant. Finally, the pair collaborated, combining CBD and cells containing high levels of ID-1 in a petri dish.
"What we found was that his Cannabidiol could essentially 'turn off' the ID-1," Desprez told HuffPost. The cells stopped spreading and returned to normal.
"We likely would not have found this on our own," he added. "That's why collaboration is so essential to scientific discovery."
Desprez and McAllister first published a paper about the finding in 2007. Since then, their team has found that CBD works both in the lab and in animals. And now, they've found even more good news.
"We started by researching breast cancer," said Desprez. "But now we've found that Cannabidiol works with many kinds of aggressive cancers--brain, prostate--any kind in which these high levels of ID-1 are present."
Desprez hopes that clinical trials will begin immediately.
"We've found no toxicity in the animals we've tested, and Cannabidiol is already used in humans for a variety of other ailments," he said. Indeed, the compound is used to relieve anxiety and nausea, and, since it is non-psychoactive, does not cause the "high" associated with THC.
While marijuana advocates will surely praise the discovery, Desprez explained that it's not so easy as just lighting up.
"We used injections in the animal testing and are also testing pills," he said. "But you could never get enough Cannabidiol for it to be effective just from smoking."
Furthermore, the team has started synthesizing the compound in the lab instead of using the plant in an effort to make it more potent.
"It's a common practice," explained Desprez. "But hopefully it will also keep us clear of any obstacles while seeking approval."

Odell's Flavorful Bourbon Barrel Stout
Andrew Nagy
Posted: September 24, 2009
(continued from page 1)
It's fall now and I find myself at the store reaching not for a light summer ale but for something to warm my bones—a stout. And seeing as it is officially National Bourbon Heritage Month, it only seems natural that I find myself uncorking a bottle of Bourbon Barrel Stout from Odell Brewing.
Located in Fort Collins, Colorado, Odell Brewing started in 1989 as a draft-only brewery. Six years later, it began selling its beer in bottles and in 1997, the brewery developed the five barrel pilot system, a program that encourages brewers to create, tinker and experiment with beer in small batches. The best of these experimental brews end up on draft at the brewery's Tap Room.
Odell's Bourbon Barrel Stout is a graduate of the pilot program and it is the company's first offering in what is to be a series of single-serve bottled beers.
The imperial stout is corked and caged in a 750 ml. bottle that releases an intoxicating aroma of Bourbon when opened.
To achieve this quality, Odell, like other breweries, ages its stout in Bourbon barrels that have been purchased from a distillery, which by law can only age Bourbon in new, charred-oak barrels. Odell's barrels come from the Buffalo Trace distillery of Kentucky.
Odell ages its stout, which has a 10.5 % ABV, for four months. To achieve consistency, it blends the batches.
The end product is a stout that pours black, but not heavy or thick, with slight browning on the sides and about two fingers of head. The delicate vanilla and maple candy Bourbon aromas give way to a panoply of smells that include chocolate, caramel, roasted almonds and coffee.
The stout is well balanced to the palette as molasses, mocha and chocolate flavors start and then turn to the familiar whiskey taste of wood, vanilla and root beer candy, followed by a finish of coffee and toasted marshmallow. It is definitely an after dinner drink, best enjoyed with a rich dessert of some kind.
However, unlike some other rich stouts, this beer does have some drinkability to it, so a second glass can be poured without remorse.
In addition to creating great brews, Odell Brewing is committed to incorporating green technologies into its manufacturing operations. Among some its initiatives, the company uses wind power for all it electrical needs, packages its beer in recycled glass and cardboard and all its local delivery trucks run on biodiesel fuel.
Odell Bourbon Barrel Stout retails at the suggested price of $14.99-$15.99 for the 750 ml. bottle and is available throughout Colorado, and in Wyoming, South Dakota, Kansas, New Mexico, Nebraska, Missouri and Arizona.

The Stiller Foundation partnered with Architecture for Humanity and Save the Children to design and build the first of (hopefully) several schools in the Maissade area of Artibonite, Haiti. Save have been working in this area for roughly 20 years. The design complements and improves an existing school building (4 classrooms) while adding a second school block (2 classrooms), kitchen and composting latrines and demonstrates all the requirements for hurricane proofing and seismic design while offering a bright and much improved environment for learning. As with all schools Architecture for Humanity is working on rainwater harvesting and composting latrines are integrated from the outset.
Together with our experienced and ever smiling contractor Yves Francois (Ecofra S.A.), Save the Children and Architecture for Humanity are nearing completion of their first reconstruction project post earthquake. This weekend (Nov 7) the final coat of paint is due on the existing school building while classes are already underway. Foundations are complete on the new school building, kitchen and latrines.
Great video coutesy of Fredric King and Fountainhead Films tells the story of Ceverine as part of the bigger picture of reconstruction in Haiti.
Site and Project Evaluation
Architecture for Humanity was asked to visit and evaluate a school run by Save the Children in Ceverine, on the outskirts of Maissade. The school has been under construction for several years and is not yet complete. The following report will detail observations and contains a cursory scope of work we believe would be necessary to successfully complete the project.
Successful completion, as defined by Save the Children, is the remediation of any damage on the existing classroom block and provision of two additional classrooms and new latrines.
The school provides education to 257 students. Approximately 4 classes of 60 students. Student body is drawn from the surrounding area. School director avers that some students walk up to 2 hours each way to get to school.
There is no electricity on site. No generator was observed. Water is obtained from a dammed creek approximately 10 minutes walking to the Southeast. A small kitchen adjoins the school but is of different construction. It is rough hewn wood lattice work, does not appear to be stable and presents a fire safety hazard.
Classes are currently in recess, which provides an excellent opportunity to execute the remaining work. School supplies and books, are managed by Save the Children.
Being quite rural, no site security is provided or needed.
Physical Description
The original structure is one-story CMU construction with cement finish, with a poorly wood-framed roof covered in corrugated metal roofing. It rests on a foundation that appears to be concrete with large voids of rock, but no destructive investigation was conducted. The main long house consists of five classrooms arranged linearly. Two additional outbuildings are on site: one latrine building and one wood shack that functions as wood storage and kitchen.
Although relatively new construction, the building is already showing signs of damage. The school has been located on the downhill slope of a short but steep incline, and draining water has been pounding on the South side of the structure since its construction. Additionally, the interior concrete floor slabs are spawled, presumably due to standing water on the building's interior. The interior floor slab is neither level nor even, and water was seen ponding in several classrooms. (See Figure 5)
The pressure from downhill drainage appears to have moved the building slightly. The foundation has settled down hill. The resulting movement has led to significant cracking in the front entry stairs, which will need to be replaced. (See Fig. 4)
Existing windows are metal grate and may need to be reset. Existing doors are steel and appear in good shape. Walls show minor cracking, especially around the corners of the windows. These cracks do not appear severe enough to constitute structural damage of concern. However, they should be repaired along with other work.
The existing roof is rough hewn wood members. All connections appear to be toenailed or absent all together. No tie downs or hurricane clips were observed. In multiple locations, roof members were sistered together with shorter members. Several roof beams were observed sagging significantly. The roof sheathing appears to be light gauge corrugated metal roofing pinned down with non-galvanized nails. Roof is rusting. (See Figures 7,8)
The site itself appears well maintained. Soil is moist and appears to be well drained. A large shade tree exists in front of the school. It is not clear whether the root ball from the existing tree is exerting pressure on the cracked stairs. Site descends roughly 10' from South to North but incline is not constant. The portion the south side of the existing building is quite steep, while the rest of the site is less of an incline. (see Figure 9)
Existing concrete steps need to be demolished and replaced.
Roof needs to be replaced in its entirety with continuous members, heavier gauge roofing and a rain collection system.
A drainage canal needs to be installed on the South side of the building. The drainage installation should be composed of drainage tile, or fill, or some such mechanism. It should also function as a 'cricket' to drain water to the East and West of the building.
Minor concrete repairs will be necessary on the walls of the building. Specifically, around the window corners.
Concrete floors need to be chipped out and refinished. Floors should be made smooth and level.
New Work
Two new classrooms can be provided on the west side of the existing structure. A new off-grid latrine system should also be provided. Since there is no water service to the site, this would likely be a composting toilet or use grey water from the rain catchment system.
Erection of these two classrooms would be relatively simple and quick, however, mobilization, material delivery and work force housing will be challenged by the remoteness of the site.
Some minor work should also be done to regrade the site to positively affect drainage away from the building.
All work is to be done by hand and hand power tools. No heavy equipment will be necessary.

Language Residents
The presence of the French, Korean and Spanish language residents among students is considered to be just as important as instruction in classes. They each serve as a resource person as well as a cultural representative and coordinator on campus, organizing everything from language tables to other diverse media activities such as music and films. In addition to leading cultural activities, each resident teaches conversation classes that accompany the basic language courses.

Man has long wrestled with Time. Also, with knocking on things and not getting the time of day. We propose a knocking platform through which these fundamental needs are met. This is illustrated with the Knock Block KUI and accompanying Clock Knock Block application. The Knock Block possesses realistic knocking action with a human-like variation in frequency and amplitude of knocks.
Just knock on the Knock Block, or even the surface on which it's resting, and it will knock back the time to you. First it will knock the number of hours, and then the quarter hours.
If you knock several times, the Mock Knock Block application will take over, and repeat back your knocking pattern.
Video: http://www.vimeo.com/6713094
Step 1: Inside the Knock Block
Parts list:
- any Arduino can handle this
- a TIP31C high current transistor for the switch
- the exotically named Jameco 191172-001 solenoid, prized for its low price ($3!) and current
- a Measurement Specialties DT-series piezo film element (pretty sure that's the model)
- a 1M ohm resistor (your mileage may vary)
- 9V battery
- block case of your choice
Video really very useful.
Enjoyed that video. Thanks.
Very cool.
I am having a big problem using a piezo sensor in a project I am working on. I just cant get it to sense anything practically. If I hold it and flick it I get a big spike of course, but once I tape it to a surface I can knock all I want and I get almost nothing, maybe 5-6 out of the 1023 of the analog sensing range from the arduino.
Can you explain how you're attaching it a little better. I just dont know what I'm doing wrong. Thanks for your help.
Keep in mind that the Arduino's sampling rate may be too low to capture the high-frequency waveform produced by knocking a piezo. Our rich mahogany case probably helped deepen it. You could try smoothing out the sharp waves with a capacitor, if it is just a sampling-rate issue.
The capacitor sounds interesting. What rating would you recommend and how would you recommend I connect it?
(PLEASE don't call it a schlock mock knock block ;¬)
How long does the battery last in it? I can't imagine it would drain them too quickly. Also, would it be possible make a plug on it to plug it into say a USB port for charging only?

In this age of Yelp, it's hard not to sympathize with The Fixin' To (8218 N Lombard St., 477-4995, thefixinto.com), whose vintage-trailer logo and menu full of Ritz crackers and Ro-Tel seem to have confused neighborhood residents. "What exactly is this place trying to be, anyway?" reads a representative missive. Ironically, the Fixin' To's very success lies in its propensity to defy categorization. It's the kind of bar where a combination of shuffleboard, middle-aged men watching hockey, a sandwich called "Hail Seitan," and a framed photo of Bill Clinton wearing a Razorback "hog hat" somehow makes perfect sense. On a recent night, as if to drive home the point, an older man sitting at the bar unexpectedly produced a container of bubbles and began blowing them in the direction of a customer closing out her tab. "I had a vibe you were OK with bubbles," he said. He was right.

I could use some advice from anyone here who has dealt with snowplow mounts in the past. I have a possible job doing modifications to a snowplow mount to fit on an older Jeep Cherokee.
The mount came off a Chevy Blazer, and had been modified to fit the Blazer, the welds and custom mount brackets were not a pretty sight, sorry I don't have any pictures but it was hacked to say the least.
I have not done a job like this before and have a few questions before I sign up for more than I can handle. I climbed under the Jeep and too some measurements, the mount as it sits is close to fitting, but is about 1" skinnier than the frame rails measuring center to center on both.
The frame rails are a formed C channel, I was thinking with the new mount I would bolt through the bottom of the frame rails to tie it together, I'm not sure if this is a fair idea or not, is there a reason to bolt it through the sides of the frame rails?
I would really appreciate any pictures people have of these mounts so I can draw from them and see how this should be done right.
This plow will only be used in the owners driveway, and will not be on the road, but I would still be interested to hear of any legalities that have to be worked around when you make, or modify your own mount.
Any comments are appreciated.

I have always used a piece of angle to bolt to the frame rail. Make it so the legs of the angle go under & up the outside of the frame rail then bolt through the side. Weld the plow frame parts to the angle as needed. Having said that it all depends on how the truck frame is & what's in the way. Sometimes you just have to make it as you go. Without seeing pics that about as best as I can describe. This kind of job people always think it should take an hour, so prepare your customer for a decent bill.

It is a job I generally steer clear of, everyone seems to ge the idea that since it came off a blue truck it should fit most blue trucks. Different frame widths make it all a real challenge in a lot of cases.

Well I have a few updates.
It looks like this Jeep is older than I remember. It looks like Jeep moved to a unibody construction for the Cherokee in the mid 90's, and this Jeep appears to be body on frame construction so that would place it as a late 80's SUV.
I appreciate the responses so far, looking at how other plow mounts are done it looks like angle bolted through the sides of the rail will be the best way to do this.
The customer is willing to pay what the job will cost, he doesn't expect this to be done in an hour, and right now we're looking at about $300 to do the modifications, but I want to make sure I'm not missing something major before I give him a quote.
Thanks again,

Who's responsible for materials? I know your in a different zip code, but 300 sounds a bit light. Don't forget drill bits, bolts, hardware, etc. I always add a couple of bucks (10%) for welding incidentals like grinding wheels and wire or rod or gas if your using it. 300 here would get you about 2 hours of labor time. Dont' give it away.Mustangs Forever!

Also just in case you were not aware, sometimes when people that have no business mounting a snow plow or anything else to a vehicle, forget, or deliberately do not put in the plow to fram braces that prevent the plow carriage from riding up. I have encountered this several times.........scary.
what kind of plow is it. I have made push plates for fishers plows befor.

You wont believe the amount of interference issues that never occur at first glance until you do one of these. I copy a Western for mine but eliminate all the adjustments and make it one piece welded.
BTW, I sent a couple jobs away recently, one wanted removal of mount and equipment and put on some junk jeep, I told him that the truck he was wanting to install to wasn't worth the effort, another I sent off to get factory mount. I was broke when I did mine so the couple afternoons saved 400 and I got better job so the value was there. My Bud works at another shop where a customer just insist, "how hard could it be" from 150 to 250, wasn't impressed with a 1200$ or more bill. They didn't want to do it in first place. I have done a couple that were simple but most are more difficult than imagined.
Here is what I came up with for an old blade to a '02 Silverado 2500HD. They tried to buy a mount for it but they were not available. The First picture is of the Main Mount that bolts underneath the truck where the skid plate was originally attached. The second picture shows the main mount installed with a plate attached (unpainted in the picture) that has another framework welded to that attaches to the pump mount assembly (picture 3). Picture 4 shows the frame mounts that everything is welded/bolted to. The tubing is notched to fit around a pipe that goes thru the frame. This keeps it from moving up or down in the frame rails (it is also cross bolted). Picture 5 is the mount installed with the pump mount....

Notre Dame was already very young in its defensive secondary and recently it got younger by adding four incoming recruits.
Fighting Irish coach Brian Kelly spoke about his newest defensive backs.
DEVIN BUTLER (DB, 6-foot-1 1/2, 180 pounds, Washington, D.C.)
First of all, what we really love about recruiting at Gonzaga (College High School) is that these young men understand what it's like to be here at Notre Dame. They're in that kind of faith based environment. They understand that they're going to be challenged in the classroom, so these are easy fits for us in the recruiting process. Devin obviously at the cornerback position is a need that we have within our program. With injuries last year and graduation the year before, we were thin obviously this year, and we were able to find a way to get it done back there. Now we can add some depth to the cornerback position. He's an exciting player that's going to come in and compete immediately.
RASHAD KINLAW (DB, 5-foot-11, 185 pounds, Galloway, N.J.)
When we talk about Rashad, we just any obviously he played quarterback primarily, he got injured this year, but we love his size, his length, his athleticism. We think it's an untapped resource for us in that we're only going to get him better and better physically, and he has the speed, he has the ability to play the ball. We think he's going to fit well at the cornerback position for us. He was somebody that we identified early in this process and felt like he would be a great addition to this class. We love the fact that he's really embraced coming to Notre Dame. You know, the high school has not had a lot of students come in this area of the country, and to get him to come to Notre Dame says a lot about him, so we're really excited about Rashad, too.
COLE LUKE (DB, 6-foot, 180 pounds, Chandler, AZ)
When we talk about the depth across the board here, we've talked about Butler and Kinlaw, and now Cole Luke, another cornerback. You know, again, a state title. This guy plays on a championship football team. When you go around the high school and you go around the program, you can sense it and feel it. We've got a great relationship with Coach Belles, a former Notre Dame player here, and just a great fit. When Cole came up in the summer, recruited by virtually everybody in the country, I remember when we were talking about this, that he called and kind of had a soft commit. In other words, he called and said, I think I'm going to commit, but what I want to do is I want to be able to say that a couple of times and I want to see how it feels. So I think this was maybe on a Tuesday, and he said I'll call you back on Saturday. So we're waiting all week, how does it sound, Cole, sound good? Do you like saying that you're committed to Notre Dame? And finally he called us back a week later and said, "Coach, I'm all in." My point being, here's a kid who really thought about it.
All these kids gave a great thought about this commitment. That's why when we talk about this class, it is a solid class because they took the time to make this decision. They weren't pressured into making a decision. This was something that took a lot of thought, and we're excited about having Cole.
MAX REDFIELD (DB, 6-foot-2, 195 pounds, Mission Viejo, CA)
Max is from Mission Viejo: Bob Johnson is his coach, and Bob has done an incredible job over the years of turning out elite players, and we think Max is an elite player. He's a young man that has a specific skill set that could see him play offense, he could play defense, he's going to play in that safety position for us, and we think he's a young man that can come in and compete. He's got all the athletic ability, and he's a very smart young man.
I remember when he decided to come to Notre Dame and made that decision, it was a fairly lengthy process where he wanted to really take time to make the right decision. But those are the kind of kids we're not getting these quick knee jerk reaction kind of decisions, these are kids that really took their time to make the right decision. Max is a great young man, great family, and a really good player.
