Rated 4 out of 5�by 42 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5�by Briley76 Doesn't Last Bought these gloves since the price was fair and based off of the reviews, they seemed like a good product. Gloves are comfortable and do protect your hands. However, after only a few weeks, the stitching around the thumb on the right glove has come apart. I no longer have the receipt or packaging, but am going to try my luck at returning them at the Dick's Sports where I bought them. May 4, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5�by Ivan Nike men's lifting glove Gloves are ok for the price... You can find better for the $$$. Gloves have stitching around the thumb/ palm area and when lifting they hurt and will cause them to mark the stitches to your skin.. Not very comfortable! May 13, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5�by San Not durable They're nice, but the stitching at the base of the thumb began to pull apart after a few months. May 6, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by exc decent Padded gloves with wrist support that's not too bulky. I guess all weightlifting gloves run small I was looking for a medium and couldn't find any so tried on large and fit perfectly and I'm only 5'5 so better try them out in store. July 16, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by Zack Nike Alpha Glove Gloves fit well and provide plenty of support with the wrist strap and integral structure on the back of the hand. The leather palm and fingers are pretty durable, but the stitching at the base of the thumb began to pull apart after about two to three months of use while going to the gym six days per week. Though the stitching is broken, I am still able to use them comfortably because my hand still does not contact the bar. The placement and amount of padding is perfect for me. As far as fit and function I have no complaints. If the stitching would have held together a bit better, the gloves would be perfect. April 23, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by sladedriver i like them! Great wrist support and cushion in the palm area and excellent grip! Nike is always quite pricey though! Wish there was a better price point? February 26, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5�by Nike Nike step your weight game up Not to much cushion against heavy weight. Hard to get off. Only true benefit is the dri-fit January 21, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by william534 Necessary equipment Just used the gloves and were much needed for all the training at the gym. My hands don't hurt or have those ''spots'' that have hardened from various machines. noted these are for lifting weights but also very useful for all workout equipment!! December 27, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Superman Perfect Fit! Had some very old Gold's Gym gloves that finally gave out on me so I invested in theis... Wish I would have done it sooner. They're are a perfect fit and the heavy stitched in wrist support is fantastic. Perfect for heavy lifters such as myself or even for beginners! Highly recommend!!! September 6, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Dan did not fit They run small. The golf glove chart in the store said I wear medium so I bought large to be safe and they were super tight. I would have needed an extra large to fit my hands and there is no way my hands are that big. I have average size hands. Large should have been a little big and these were cutting off my circulation.

Gallery: Modern Palmyra House Showcases Local Sustainable Materials
The Palmyra House is a vacation home in the south of Mumbai that resonates not just for its clean modern look but also for its rich selection of local sustainable materials. Situated on the coast of the Indian Ocean, this handcrafted home was sensitively placed in a coconut grove and much of its structure is made from the materials harvested on site or nearby. The Palmyra House was recently honored as one of 19 shortlisted entries in the 2010 Aga Khan Awards for Architecture — read on to learn how modernism and materials meet to create this enlightened retreat.
According to Studio Mumbai Architects the superstructure is made from ain wood, a local hardwood, and was constructed using traditional interlocking joinery. They then wrapped the buildings with handmade louvers made of palmyra palm trunk — also a hardy and local tree. The stone foundation, as well as the sand for the plaster was also locally-sourced. Through the amalgamation of appropriate materials the façade is in utter agreement with its surroundings.
With help from the palms overhead and a ocean breeze, the home uses the ancient technique of having an open skin to shed latent heat. An aqueduct weaves though the grounds and ends at a pool between the two offset structures. The interior is austere and refined to provide a calming sense of order.

Maritime bulk chemical cargo traffic at the port of Antwerp increased about 10% in 2013 compared with traffic in 2012, to above 11 million m.t., the port authority announced today.

Antwerp has gained a significant market share in the liquid bulk sector for northwestern European ports, the port authority says. Liquid bulk traffic in Antwerp rose by 31.4%, to 59.49 million m.t. over the past 12 months, the authority adds. The port of Antwerp accounts for 60% of the total added value...

I have wanted a stainless steel burner / boiler for a while now. Hot salty water ruins all the steel ones with time and they eventually need to be replaced. I am hoping this one will last a while because it is built with 304L stainless.
This is actually the second one I made and will be a gift for my father-in-law who taught me how to boil these hot and tasty Louisiana crawfish (I grew up in the mountains in California and always thought "crawdads" were just good for bait, until I moved here).
The flame this bad boy puts off is intense and can boil a 100 quart pot of seasoned water in just a few short minutes. In fact, it can easily turn the rungs of the burner glowing orange.
(And I'm sure I'll get comments about the glass table... haha. I was desperate for a good flat surface for tacking as I have not completed a welding table just yet.)
The Miller 211 worked like a champ. I am using 0.030" 308L with 98% argon 2% CO2. My heat and wire speed settings varied a little on some of the thin pieces, but I was able to achieve spray settings quite easily welding the 3/8" round stock. There was almost no splatter. I was very pleased with the little amount of clean-up needed.

Crawdad season is coming up soon, get ready for a Hot Tub Party, Louisiana Style. How many pounds of Mud Bugs will that cook in one batch? You make any pots to go with those burners? Your location had me thrown off, New Orleans Northern California. I knew something wasn't right about that, then read the post, a transplant. But it looks like your catching on to the way things ought to be.
Mudbugs are good......but...... I could really hurt myself on shrimp.... espescially the big fat late season ones.....
keep us posted with pics and progress on the pot......
especially the maiden boil........

Looks great but the combination of stainless steel, salt and heat can cause stress corrosion cracking.
Despite the salt water and heat, I haven't seen any stress cracks or broken welds. Seems to holding up well!
I never thought about making a pot; it's just too easy to buy one with the basket and lid ready to go.
One thing is for sure, it's Mardi Gras time! Les bon temps roulette!

ZOLFO SPRINGS, Fla.—It's 7:30 a.m., and already the congressman and I are covered in blood.
Mine trickles out of a crescent-shaped gash on my forehead. It hurts, but the lingering buzz from our predawn whiskey shot helps.
The blood on Rep. Dennis Ross belongs to a 95-pound wild hog whose head he is removing with a hand saw. The skull plops to the ground. Ross yanks off the animal's skin and cuts open its belly with a bowie knife. He reaches inside and pulls out coils of slimy, gray intestines.
"It beats fundraising," he says with a grin.
I had met Ross a few weeks earlier in his Capitol Hill office with a different sort of dissection in mind. National Journal had recently ranked him and nine other Republicans as the most conservative House members, and I wanted to see what made one of the most conservative members of the most conservative, powerful freshman class in the history of the House of Representatives tick.
(RELATED: Pictures -- Most Conservative House Member Goes Boar Hunting)
After the 2010 midterms, the victorious tea party candidates vowed to shake Washington to its very core. But despite their bravado, a whole series of vote rankings (including NJ's) have painted them as not much different from the rest of the Republican conference. They diverge from leadership about as much as the old-timers do, although the rankings fail to capture some important dynamics. The only reason Washington had a debt-ceiling fight, for instance, was that the freshman class pushed the leadership into waging one. Even so, last week, the tea-party-before-the-tea-party-was-cool Club for Growth released a study asking whether the freshman class was really even tea party at all.
Ross is an exception. A year into his term, the Florida lawmaker has held his ground, voting against pretty much everything that the tea party hates: raising the debt ceiling, funding the government through short-term Band-Aid bills, and extending the payroll-tax cut without offsetting spending cuts.
"I was surprised, but honored," Ross said about topping the list. Being conservative is a quiet point of pride for him. He has never been one to grab headlines, saying he'll leave that up to his fellow Florida Republican, outspoken Rep. Allen West. And while Ross has friends at the Capitol, he is something of a loner in the freshman class, rarely attending group events or assuming leadership roles.
Ross says that the best way to be a conservative and a Christian is to try to lead by example rather than words. "Still, I don't fit the mold that a lot of people imagine," he said. "I think the image of a conservative is stodgy and holier-than-thou and without a sense of humor. I really like to enjoy life. I mean, I really like to enjoy life."
Ross came to Washington after eight years in the Florida Legislature and more than 20 years of running his own law firm. At 52, he has salt-and-pepper hair and broad shoulders. He's gregarious, the type of guy who might knock your glasses off with a pat on the back and who always seems to be smirking about something.
"I'm a reflection of a conservative in every respect, but I'm not a fanatic," he said, his eyes opening wide, as they tend to do when he gets excited. Ross's office is decorated like something a Hollywood screenwriter might dream up to lampoon a tea party lair. Taxidermy is everywhere: two mounted hog heads, a deer head, and a turkey that looks like it was stuffed in mid-flight. Ross plans to fill a vacant bit of wall above the door once he vanquishes an alligator.
"You should come boar hunting with me sometime," he said, noticing that my stare kept veering to the wall behind him. Our conversation wasn't particularly memorable; we talked about how he'd been a conservative as long as he can remember despite having a Democratic mother, what a whirlwind the first year in Congress had been, and how he was a failed businessman before he became a lawyer. It was hard to stay focused under the marble-eyed gaze of the wild game.
Ross leaned forward in his seat to size up my multicolored socks, my oversized glasses, my untamed hair. "Of course, if it makes you more comfortable, we can donate all the meat to a food bank," he said.
"The problem I have is that I get impatient."—Rep. Dennis Ross, R-Fla.
It was a diplomatic gesture. If Ross had overestimated how much I might object to killing an animal for sport, I could forgive him. In Washington, people tend to rely on signals to get a sense of each other: party affiliations, voting records, socks. Subtleties get lost. I started thinking that the only way to really understand Dennis Ross would be to join him in his natural habitat.
For $3.90 at the Pioneer Restaurant in Zolfo Springs, you get bottomless coffee, two sausages, two eggs, grits, and home fries. It's fortunate that our hunting group—Ross, his longtime friend Denny Morgan, a Hill staffer, and me—ordered so much food. Otherwise, I may never have met Corvil Justesen.

Our baby boy is 11days old and the last 2 days has been feeding 5-6 hrs apart and sleeping between. He feeds for about 10-15mins on each breast and sometimes takes up to an hour to get back to sleep. Should I be worried that he is not getting enough milk and too much sleep?

This actually sounds fairly normal to me (they pretty much sleep the first couple of weeks), although the frequency of eating seems slightly lower than average. Talk to your pediatrician.
You might also make it a habit to keep track of when and how much he is eating. It is hard to keep track when breast feeding of exactly how much he is getting, but I would suggest keeping a log of how much (if you can) and how long (if you can't measure how much).
Again, my main suggestion is to just place a call to your ped's doc and ask the question.

Is it better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all?
I think the question is self-explanatory, and am curious what your own answer is on this age-old dilemma! Personal anecdotes are purely optional.
Jan 7 2014: My observation is that we can approach life in two different ways.
One, by believing that everything and everybody is a potential risk for me and taking nothing for granted. Then slowly removing doubts and skepticism and trying to find lasting love. This is a safe way but it cuts down chances and opportunities too.
The other way is to start by believing everything and everybody is a potential source of joy and enrichment. Then facing life chest on, receive blows of pain and betrayal and surviving to find lasting love. This is the risky way but opens new opportunities in meaningful ways.
The choice is ours.
I shall prefer to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.
Jan 7 2014: Very good approach, and sometimes we have to interpret someone's approach as caused by their unfortuanate situation, or misjudgement of what we (didn't) cause(d).Jan 10 2014: Wonderful, Pabitra.
I consider myself very much a member of the 2nd approach group, but sadly lack the tools to face life in the head-up chest-forward manner you describe in a way that hasn't caused me more pain than I thought possible.
I love unconditionally, would go so far as to say I have an extreme altruist mentality, but I had to lose love for me to realize that love is also too valuable to bestow on just anyone.
And yet, I can't imagine never bestowing it again.
Jan 10 2014: "I had to lose love for me to realize that love is also too valuable to bestow on just anyone."
Yes love is too valuable to bestow on just anyone. So please bestow it on everyone, unconditionally.
Problem, Lizanne, is that we are hardwired culturally to think that romantic love is the pinnacle of our love potential and that it is this kind of love that we must bestow on one chosen person for emotional fulfillment. But it may not be true.
There are other kinds of love and we are brimming with those. It will be a pity if you do not give it to others.
However, you cannot deprive your own self from that love too.
One who loves you will understand.
Reem Masri
Jan 7 2014: Can I just say before I answer this THAT YOUR QUESTION IS BEAUTIFUL AND I LOVE IT.
- +3
Okay, now.
It is most certainly, absolutely, a 100% BETTER to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all (from my own perspective having dealt with loss before) because:
Let's suppose you fell in love with a person, however; those feelings were unrequitted
(a): You experience both peaks of sadness and happiness.
(b): Your sadness and pain serve as a commemoration of your previous happiness.
(c): It helps you grow, and surprisingly enough it makes you capable of letting go of whatever it is you've been clinging to, getting over loss, and embracing your pain. Eventually it gives you hope.
Besides what tasteless and tedious life would it be to never have loved at all?
Jan 10 2014: Reem,
Let me say first, I love your answer!!
The phrase that keeps popping into my mind about never loving at all is "Ignorance is bliss".
Never knowing what love is means never knowing what it's like to lose it... Pretty impossible if you're an inhabitant of planet earth though.
As long as we're on the subject of cliches, how about this one: "You don't know what you've got till it's gone". Does anyone feel this applies to lost love?

"Ever has it been that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation."
I believe that this sometimes applies in lost love. Sometimes, though. And not always.
Really it depends on the circumstances. I see this applies in cases where people take things for granted and eventually let it all slip away. And it is only when they really lose their beloved ones that they realize their true value.

Jan 6 2014: Life is the experience of life.
- +3
All experiences, whether we label the 'good' or 'bad', offer fuel for a deeper richer experience of life.
Negative experiences in particular carry within them the seed of how we can grow into more mature human beings (psychologically and spiritually) and this is often afterwards evidenced by experiencing within ourselves an increase in compassion for others (as well ourselves!), for animals, and for the natural world.
I would say that in essence, it is definitely better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all.
Jan 6 2014: Hi Joshua,
If all experiences offer the opportunity for a deeper, richer experience of life, and carry within them the seed to grow and learn, which I agree with, why call it a negative experience?
Jan 7 2014: Speaking from my own experience, Colleen and Joshua, and in an effort to learn ad grow from it, I also feel a necessity to experience the negative exactly as it is - negative. This by no means implies it can't also be constructive, however!
I have found that by embracing the things I have always labeled 'negative' (in an effort to avoid them) has brought me closer to the essence of my being, and why I am here at all, and how I can move on.
Avoidance was futile, I discovered. Negative is just a word to describe what I tried to shield myself from, what I feared.
Jan 7 2014: Lizanne,
I guess I don't have a need to label an experience negative or positive, because I can learn and grow from ALL experiences. I agree with "embracing" the experience, ALL emotions, and opportunity to learn and grow.
I agree Lizanne....avoidance is futile, and doesn't help with the process of learning. To feel, experience and embrace ALL feelings and emotions is important to really get to "know" our "self".
Years ago, I realized that something could be learned from ALL experiences, so down the road....a week....a month.....a year.....many years........I perceived what the experiences offered me as an opportunity to learn.
Sometimes, I spent time and energy with frustration and disappointment, etc. BEFORE I got to the lessons. Now, I look for the lessons as I am going through the challenge and I FEEL all the emotions, but do not hang onto them for extended periods of time.Jan 7 2014: Hi Lizanne,
Thank you for your comment.
I think you are on the right track. (Please see also my reply to Colleen below).
I would say we cannot process anything we are not aware of. Or perhaps I should say, the more we experience what is, as it is for us in our felt experience and perception (which can feel very negative), the more potential fuel-for-life that can be released when that bit of us is brought from the dark-and-wild side, into our consciousness.Jan 7 2014: Hi Colleen,
Good question. I would call negative experiences "negative", on a temporary basis; the same as Lizanne suggests. The reason for this is that they remain in that state in our felt experience until we process them (ie: until we feel them fully, see them non-judgementally, understand them wholly, and receive fully the gift they bring).
The beauty of labeling them temporarily negative is also that it helps us focus on and hone in on the essential work in growing into more mature adults (more mature psychologically & spiritually). We need to undo our belief in lack, and 'experienced-as-negative' experiences point us directly towards and bring our attention to what we need to look at next.
I can also suggest an alternative word to 'negative': immature.
We have experiences that are painful to us that are in essence "immature" and they want to grow up into "maturity" and make their proper contribution in our lives. And we need to help them, (some of whom are rather wild and who have very dysfunctional beliefs), to grow into maturity by welcoming them unconditionally and understanding them for the contribution they can make in our lives when they have grown into maturity.
I ask them sometimes: "when you are fully mature, what kind of job do you want? Who do you see yourself to be when you are a more mature version of yourself? What is your 'natural habitat' in the bigger grown-up scene of things? How do you see your optimum contribution?"
As a final thought, the last thing our 'negative' felt experiences need is to be steamer-rollered by 'positive thinking', bashed on the head by rejecting them, or ignored in an attempt to "let go" of them.
Jan 7 2014: Hi Joshua,
I agree that experiences may remain in our perception in a certain way, as long as we label them in a certain way. Unfortunately, many times, when something is labeled, people do not move beyond that label. Naming something "negative", in my perception, is a judgment.
Personally, I see no "beauty" or usefulness in labeling experiences or emotions "negative" even for a short time, because it is a judgment. Experienced and labeled as negative, experiences MAY point us directly towards...what we need to look at....."
AND...experienced and labeled as negative, experiences may remain labeled in that way forever in our mind and heart.
Perhaps I can accept your idea that "negative" can equate to "immature". I totally agree with welcoming experiences unconditionally and understanding them for the contribution they can make in our lives. That is exactly why I choose not to label the experience negative:>)Jan 7 2014: Joshua,
It seems that you added to your comment since I last saw it?
"As a final thought, the last thing our 'negative' felt experiences need is to be steamer-rollered by 'positive thinking', bashed on the head by rejecting them, or ignored in an attempt to "let go" of them."
I totally agree....it does not help to "steamer-roll", or ignore ANY feelings. I believe it is helpful to FEEL all emotions and feelings.
There have been times in my life when I have gone to the depth of painful thoughts and feelings....laying on the floor crying thinking/feeling....why me....how am I going to live my life now....poor me....hurting SO bad...
One of my good friends calls this a "pity party". We can take the time to go to the depth of all the emotions, and like I said in another comment, I see no reason to hold onto those emotions. They are still with us, and we do not need to focus on them for an extended period of time.
I have experienced some of these painful emotions coming back at different times in my life to be reviewed and re-evaluated again and again....usually taking me to another level of understanding and acceptance every time. Each time, I FEEL it to the depth of my being, AND I do not stay with, or focus on the pain. I move through it to more understanding and acceptance.Jan 8 2014: Hi Colleen,
Thank you for your two further comments; yes I did add an extra bit at the end about 5 minutes after first posting it - so you must have just caught it in between. Very well spotted. And I agree with your comment.
I like your idea of the "pity party"; I get the picture of a group of people having a deep shared experience of going through the emotional suffering, but somehow ending up rolling on the floor in laughter as we see the situation in a different light, and as the emotions have been witnessed rather than bottled up. (I'm not sure if that's my imagination going over-the-top).
Words of course carry differing meanings and associations for different people. In any difficult or painful situation I try and hold the question: "What is the bigger truth in all this?". This shifts my attention away from indulging in "woe is me" for too long, and towards a lesson I need to learn. Perhaps this is a pity-party-for-one.
As a further thought on the word 'negative', I always have an association of being a young boy with my father in the workshop, processing (old-style) photographs. We are holding up to a faint light the strip of negatives and choosing which ones are worth developing further on the expensive photo-paper. The negatives are just an imprint which offer a next-stage opportunity to consciously work with them and develop them into memorable (B&W) photographs.
Generally I take the approach that "everything is good for something" as long as we find a way to process it and transform it into fuel for a deeper richer experience of life.(Easier said than done, hence I guess Lizanne's original motivation for starting this conversation).
Jan 8 2014: You've got it Joshua! A "pity party" can take place with a group of people who want to listen and share "stuff", and we can have a "pity party" all by ourselves.
YES....however we get to the point of the emotions being felt and acknowledged in our self, and/or witnessed and shared with others is beneficial. Once this is accomplished either in our "self" or with others, it feels MUCH better in my humble experience and perception. Yes......laughter....when we are ready, and I prefer to be ready sooner, rather than later:>)
That is an excellent question for ourselves Joshua.... "What is the bigger truth in all this?".
Another question I ask myself is...."how important is this"? In the whole scheme of things, how important will this be in 5 or 10 years? That question, for me often short circuits the "pain", "poor me" cycle ( "shifts my attention away from indulging in the "woe is me" for too long" as you insightfully say), because I KNOW that I learn and grow, I have faced challenges, and I'll be fine. Yup....sounds like a pity party for one!
I LOVE your idea and connection to looking at negatives to decide which ones to develop.
I still don't like to use the word negative when talking about experiences or feelings though:>)
I agree..."everything is good for something as long as we find a way to process it and transform it into fuel for a deeper, richer experience of life. You say....easier said than done". I actually LOVE the journey, so I perceive it to be easier than the alternative, which is holding onto thoughts, feelings, emotions which are not recognized or dealt with in our "self". I LOVE the process of discovery and the journey to "know thyself".
Nice discussing with you Joshua....thanks for the opportunity:>)Jan 10 2014: Well said to you both.
As someone who has spent the greatest portion of her life avoiding anything remotely resembling pain, fear or anger, embracing those emotions now in the biggest, wildest 'pity party' in the world has been essential for me!! We've all been there, sounds like...Jan 7 2014: There is nothing more important than to love. Loosing a love can teach us how to love next time.
What we could also learn, or except, is that the love we lost was maybe not meant to be. There is a better one waiting.
All in all, to not have loved at all, what kind of a person is that..??
"Love is the life of man[kind]" ES
Jan 7 2014: An excellent question, Adriaan - who would we be if we were incapable of love? Not humans. Machines, perhaps. We are vulnerable, after all.Jan 6 2014: To have truly loved there can be no loss for the essence of love is freedom, not possession.

Jan 3 2014: What's your thoughts on this?
- +2
I know that in hindsight I'm glad for having loved and lost, it's given me so much. But it takes time to get over the loss, something that often makes it feel that it wasn't worth it when you're in the middle of grieving over the loss.
Jan 5 2014: You hit the nail on the head, Jimmy.
I am indeed experiencing grief, even regret, but am able to discern a faint silver lining again after some very dark months.
The pain is part of the process, but I have never felt more alive than now.Jan 10 2014: You have to love yourself before you can love anyone else
Jan 10 2014: I would definitely agree, Freeman!
That being so, how would you answer the question?
Jan 10 2014: If we do not experience emotions, who are we? Scientifically/philosophically speaking, we are creatures of sensory perceptions. Depending on what stance you choose in the nature vs. nurture debate, I believe we recieve all or most knowledge from the environment. Interacting with this environment of which we are born in, is the only way to experience the magnificence of humanity. With this being said, in order to understand this beauty, it is paramount to expose yourself to every spectrum of love, hate, anger, laughter, hope, joy etc. To appreciate the highs you have to go through the lows. And with love being the Mt. Everest of highs, how could you not want to participate in that?Jan 10 2014: I wholeheartedly agree Freeman. We cannot give away something that we do not genuinely have in and for our "self":>)
The challenge with this idea, is that some folks think this is selfish. Love includes respect, compassion, empathy, understanding, patience, curiosity, etc. If we do not have these qualities for ourselves, we do not know how to share them with others.Jan 7 2014: i think is better to have loved than never have loved,to be in love, to be passionate about somebody might be different, though when i say to love someone with peace and understanding. it is to give the best of you , it is to expose the best of you, so i certainly agree that love is the most beautifull feeling and it is worth it
Jan 10 2014: Hi Tania,
Loving someone "with peace and understanding" is really so perfectly said, I think. Understanding allows peace, and vice versa.
Ironically, I have finally found that peace and understanding with someone I have lost... But arguably love more.Jan 5 2014: You have not lived if you have not loved. U have not loved if you have not lived. Pain is a course of life and rather avoid the experience embrace it. learn from it and it will grow u.Jan 4 2014: to never know the touch of another person would be a great shame.
love as a general concept is humanity's greatest ability, but i don't think that's what this question is asking.
romantic love has been done to death in the modern era. if it's romantic love that is being discussed then, no, it's no great loss to never know it.
however, the nature of the human mind is such that those who have not known it will pine for it.
Jan 5 2014: I agree, Scott. Love is another form of empathy, as much as we hate to have our hearts broken, knowing we are not alone in having experienced it at one time or another truly
binds us as vulnerable human beings.Jan 4 2014: Lizanne, Here is the full quote from Alford Lord Tennyson: "I hold it true, whatever befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all."
Isn' this what it is all about: "I love you not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you. I love you not only for what you have made of yourself, but for what you are making of me. I love you for the part of me that you bring out." Roy Croft
Perhaps what is being addressed is unrequited love such as Dante and Beatrice Portinari.
In any event only those effected can answer the question.
I wish you well. Bob.
Jan 5 2014: Robert, what a wonderful quote!
The beauty, and danger, of love is that it does just that: it allows us to expose - if we dare - the very essence of ourselves for the other to behold, and in some cases to reject... I have found out the hard way that accepting myself (with all the imperfections I couldn't allow) is the first step in finding love.Jan 3 2014: Hi Lizanne!
I do not perceive this as a dilemma. If we have loved, and a relationship did not work out, what is lost? Possibly our expectations? Personally, I would never give up the opportunity to love because of the fear of losing something. If it didn't work out, it didn't work out. I agree with Jimmy, that sometimes, when we are in the middle of grieving, we may not see all aspects of the situation, and there is ALWAYS an opportunity to learn and grow with the experience. That, for me, is always a gain, rather than a loss.
Jan 5 2014: Hi Colleen,
I chose the word 'dilemma' as it aptly describes my personal situation right now, but I can imagine the pain I feel now will transform into wisdom in time. I have learned one of the most valuable lessons there are: my own expectations were indeed the cause of my own loss.
Jan 6 2014: Oh Dear Lizanne.....I am sorry for the dilemma and pain you are feeling, and I also have observed that you are a very wise, loving person, who has the strength to move through the challenge.
Sending you loving, healing energy my friend.Feb 1 2014: Certainly, to loved and lost is the best one.You can learn a lot of things with the help of all things.I mean you can have a great experience.Yeah, you will be in pain, you will feel bad but you will have certain decisions after your loss..because you know people very well.For instance, ı loved someone but he did not love me.I was in a terrible pain, ı was feeling hazy.But then ı started to feel good, and make my decisions clear, ı tried to be conscious.Thats all.All of us see the glass half empty, but we must try to see its full part :) :)Jan 12 2014: The premise of the question is wrong. I know the question refers to a more romantic love, but I find it very seldom that anyone born has not loved. Love is not something we learn, it is something we unlearn and hide under years of having our hearts crushed by living in a broken world. It is that intense disconnectedness that cause us to harden our hearts and build ourselves prisons where we do not let anyone in. The freedom comes in knowing that love is greater than us and does not belong to us, rather we belong to it and move and live in it and through it. It is the building blocks of the universe and why life is sustained. Without it even animals would not nurture their young and protect their species. We are not just a scientific formula made up of past experiences and equations. We are wonder, art and music in motion. The question should rather be: is it better to see a world contained in love, or to keep a blind eye to it? There is much sorrow in this life, but it is the force of love which helps us persist, hope which keeps us moving forward. In it we are transformed to be better, to care more, to change ourselves and the world around us. Pain is not born of love. Jealousy and anger, often the marks of great romances such as in Wuthering Heights have more to do with obsession than love. So as far as relationships are that "love" can be destructive and damaging, but true unselfish love is definitely worth embracing and exploring. Without it there would be no life here to speak about.Jan 12 2014: Yes it is better to love and lost. When two people love each other and one dies unexpectedly, the pain is beyond belief. First comes the numbness, then the pain which reverberates through your soul and everything seems to remind you of your loss. Over time, the pain becomes dull and you remember the moments, the great moments. Not the passionate moments, but the quiet moments when 2 souls became one for an instance, no words but communication at the lowest level of being. You remember and realize you were better from being together and the memory of those moments will be with you until you die.Jan 7 2014: Yes, love is better,if you have any thing in your life it will solve automatically .
Jan 7 2014: Somah,
Although i truly admire your positive insight, I have to wonder how love can solve anything in out lives automatically. To me, giving love costs energy an effort, (which is worth it, considering all that can possibly be lost and gained!!) so could you explain what you mean by anything in your life being solved automatically by love?Jan 7 2014: Somah and Lizanne,
My interpretation....
Love in a broad sense, can include respect, patience, understanding, love of learning, love of life, as well as lots of other feelings/emotions. If we have those feelings in, and for ourselves, we can face most challenges. Is this what you mean Somah?
Welcome to TED conversations Somah:>)Jan 6 2014: Something to ponder....
"It is only in the mysterious equations of love that any logic or reason can be found"
(John Nash)Jan 6 2014: Yes generally it is better to love depending on how you define the verb. Erotic-chemical-hormonal associations can lead to the acquisition of parasites or pathogens that may be difficult or impossible to eradicate. If part of a one night stand there can be plenty of other downsides besides, such as unsupported progeny. I have searched for decades for a couple who based a long lasting happy relationship on a quickie start up. Haven't found one yet, Seems to underscore the oxymoron status of the phrase "instant intimacy". Emotional-romantic level hook ups that have a longer lead in do a bit better but not that much. Conscious Philo-Agape associations that take more time and carry no selfish agenda do the best. So much so that the answer seems to be always yes because without possessiveness or the need to control your friend that come with the lower levels there is virtually no danger of loss other than death. Is that so bad since after all we all seem to die. The Dutch are well known for taking their time before commitment and seem to enjoy a lower level of divorce than the love at first sight Americans. (It took me five years to get my Dutch bride to the alter)Jan 4 2014: I would say that you never know when you love someone whether you will eventually lose, I suppose love does involve some risk. Well, actually, Lizanne, in a way it doesn't involve much risk, because even if it turns out that the person doesn't return love to you, your actions still might affect them. Look at a TED conversation. You can reply to a TED conversation, and in replying that involves a little love on your part extended to the other person. The other person may never answer back, so the love isn't coming back. And yet probably they read what you said and it touched them somehow, so your love did have a good effect. Or other people read it, and it touches them. Or expressing it just helps you because it forces you to articulate your thoughts. These benefits apply to larger situations where you love and "lose" as well.
But generally don't most of us make good decisions about who to love we usually love and win, not love and lose?
Have you recently loved and lost?
Jan 5 2014: Life is indeed all about taking risks, from falling in love to participating in a TED convo. As the wise and distinguished Bilbo Baggins said, "You take a risk walking out your front door". A risk I for one am willing to take at any cost, and of late, the price I have had to pay for my risk, and loss, was almost too high to bear.
As for your last question, I think I just answered it.
Jan 5 2014: Well, I admire you for taking risks, it's the only way to live? There's a young rock band called FIDLAR now in L.A., the acronym is "Fuck It Dog Life's A Risk."
Sounds like something bad happened, Lizanne, I'm sorry. Maybe it's too tender to talk about?Jan 4 2014: Thanks to all for all these positive and insightful comments!
It's such a personal thing, isn't it... To me, this quote (thanks to you who found and shared the full quotation) brings up two questions: what is love, to me? And what could possibly be lost?
Hindsight is always 20/20 vision, and knowing it is impossible to step into any relationship with the ability to retrospect certainly wouldn't hinder me in falling head over heels in love, given the chance!
Loving is learning. I have loved and lost, but can now say I have probably gained more in the process.Jan 4 2014: I think if you know the result is obvious that this relationship won't fly at last, you can choose not to be engaged in it. It's not necessary to waste your precious youth on some bad guys.Jan 4 2014: Hi Lizanne,Love keeps me to understand more in my life.From my experience,I understand love is:love in my body as long as I have them,nobody,nothing else can sweep it away from you.So you have love or not,not because someone or something,but really if you have in your heart or not.Jan 4 2014: If all you mean is receiving love then perhaps you can say "better to have loved and lost..." but does loss prohibit your loving ?Jan 3 2014: i'm going with the latter. being loved is not more important than everything else combined. we can not be so one track minded.
ah, ps: maybe i don't get what "then lost" means. lose love? or lose everything?
Jan 4 2014: This is a well know quote from Alfred Lord Tennyson, although most don't know it fully so I'm going to put it here.
"I hold it true, whate'er befall;
I feel it, when I sorrow most;
'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all."
The meaning is literal, he's saying that it is better to have loved and lost then never to have loved at all. So yes, it's lose love, not anything else.
I don't think that this is one minded Krisztián, it's just one part of the whole up for discussion.Jan 3 2014: sometimes you could almost say we all lose, because sooner or later we all die, so all the love we gave and received vanishes with our death?
Jan 3 2014: Greg,
I suggest that if one is "being" in the moment, we are experiencing love which is never lost:>)
Jan 4 2014: well, I didn't express myself very clearly in my initial comment. It is true that when you put some love out into the world, even after you die that love keeps affecting the world. But it is lost to you, because as a dead person you have no consciousness, or enjoyment, of the effects of that love you put out?
Jan 6 2014: I agree Greg, that love expressed, can continue affecting the world even after we are gone. We can experience the effects in ourselves throughout the life adventure, and for me, that is the important piece....
I am here.....now......
I believe love is flowing, and continues flowing when I am gone from this earth:>)
Jacob Warren
Jan 4 2014: Id have to agre with Colleen on this one. While its true we are all just passing through this world, I think the acts we perform on this world never vanish. They contribute to the reality of tommorow, and the next day, and the next, etc. They may fade in their distictiveness over time, our individual acts of love may be forgottrn as the the memories held of us by those that survive us fade, but the effects we had on this world continue on. This is our true legacy.

Jan 4 2014: "What we do in life echoes in eternity"
Jacob Warren
Jan 4 2014: Yes sir! And I think sharing love and accepting the love of others is a pretty worthwhile echo.Jan 4 2014: yes, I expressed myself poorly initially, it's true that what we do in life echoes in eternity, but what's lost to us after we die is the consciousness of the echoes, in that sense you always lose when you love. But I wouldn't think that's a reason not to love, is it? I guess it could be?Jan 4 2014: yes, I expressed myself poorly in my initial comment, what I meant is that after you die you no longer have any consciousness of the effects of the love you put out, although it still may be affecting people. But even if that's true, by loving while you're alive you can feel good while you're alive that the love you put out will go on having some effect.

Jacob Warren
Jan 4 2014: Well said sir, I couldn't agree more. Who can say what happens to us after we die. It feels impractical and sometimes counterproductive to speculate, all we can count on is that we can and do affect this world while we're here.Jan 6 2014: Well said Jacob...what we do in this world leaves an impression...all we can count on, is that we can and do affect this world while we're here:>)
- +1
I agree that speculating about what might happen after this life uses up energy that can be used here and now. I also do not perceive it to be very practical for some folks to try to convince me that they KNOW what is going to happen when we leave this earth...that takes up too much time and energy that could be used here and now:>)
I had a great reminder years ago when I regained consciousness after a near fatal injury...even though the prognosis was that I was not expected to live.
I received cards and letters which often started out with..."you probably don't remember me, but 5 years ago you said something to me that changed my life.....or.....10 years ago you did something for me that changed my life....."
I remembered that I was not doing anything special for these people....simply being kind and respectful...often genuinely listening....stuff like that. I realized that we DO indeed have an opportunity to leave a mark in this life experience. What kind of mark, or impression do we choose to leave?

Looking at a stat sheet after the game, you might have thought the Westfield defense was totally outplayed by Chantilly's dynamic run-option offense in Friday night's Division 6 Northern Region semifinal. The Chargers had racked up 462 total yards compared to Westfield's 355, and they had outscored the home team 20-0 in the fourth quarter.
But stat sheets never tell the whole truth. A combination of critical fourth-down stops in the first half and interceptions in the second half allowed Westfield to enter the fourth quarter with a commanding 34-7 lead that would have been nearly impossible to squander. The Bulldogs surrendered plenty of yards and points during that final frame, but their sturdy play up until that point awarded them a hefty margin for error.
"We came out electric in the beginning, but in the fourth quarter we kind of started easing and swaying," senior cornerback Lamar Hardy said. "We kind of took our focus off a little bit. But I'm glad to have coaches like coach [Jon] Shields and coach [Kyle] Simmons, who preach focus nonstop. That's what got us through the rest of the game."
In spite of those nervous moments in the fourth quarter, Westfield (12-0, 5-0 Concorde) came away from Friday's contest with a 34-27 win that vaulted them to a second-straight regional championship appearance. Saturday's 1 p.m. kickoff will pit them against Oakton (8-4, 1-4 Concorde), which narrowly beat Centreville, 14-13, to prevent a repeat matchup of last year's region championship.
Though they won't get a shot at revenge against the defending state finalist, Westfield players are motivated to go after their school's first region crown since 2007, a year that also reaped a state championship trophy.
The undefeated Bulldogs have reached this point largely thanks to an efficient offense that has thrived on its versatility. Six players from the Westfield offense made the All-Concorde First Team this season, pointing to a unit whose powerful offensive line has anchored a strong rushing attack led by senior tailback Dalaun Richardson and a dangerous passing attack at the hands of senior quarterback Chris Mullins.
The Westfield defense, meanwhile, has overcome injuries and inexperience to display steady improvement with each passing week. Despite season-ending injuries to defensive lineman Sam Clark and linebacker Vince Song, the Bulldogs have managed to come together as one of the best defenses in the area this season.
Their biggest turning point came in the wake of a hard-fought 24-21 road win against Chantilly on Oct. 5. After that game, Westfield coach Kyle Simmons challenged his team — which gave up an average of nearly 23 points per game through the first four weeks — to lower its points-allowed average to 13 points per game for the rest of the season. Simmons' defense responded in kind, giving up an average of 13.8 points per game during the remaining stretch leading up to last week's contest.
Senior defensive lineman Brian Deeley joined Hardy as the only two returning starters from a 2011 defense that showed plenty of dominance en route to a 12-1 season. Deeley and Hardy have worked to carry last year's defensive prowess to this year's squad, but they also preach to teammates about avoiding a fate similar to the one that befell the 2011 team.
"I keep it pretty general: I tell them I'm not turning my pads in tonight," said Deeley, who was named to the district's First Team defense along with Hardy and linebacker Beau Donahue. "Last year when we had to turn our pads in after the Centreville game, it was pretty emotional. I saw some of my really good friends down to tears. They didn't want this thing to end. We've got something special here."
The Westfield defense put its desire to avoid elimination on full display for much of the game, holding Chantilly's explosive offense to a mere seven points through the first three quarters. It was an impressive feat against a team that hadn't scored less than 30 points since its last meeting against Westfield six weeks ago.
That type of tone-setting performance was nothing new for the Bulldogs, who have adhered to a winning formula of shutting down opponents early while the offense builds an insurmountable lead. Since the Oct. 5 Chantilly game, Westfield has led opponents by an average of 29 points through the first three quarters, including a 49-0 advantage in its first round playoff game against West Springfield and a 41-13 lead against Herndon the previous week.
Now the Bulldogs must gear up for an Oakton team thriving off the sizzling play of Kyle Downer, the burly 6-foot-4 senior who has tortured defenses in the both the running and passing game this season. Downer rushed for 164 yards in addition to his 98 yards passing in Oakton's 28-14 loss against Westfield on Oct. 19.
If a resilient Westfield defense can find a way to thwart the surging Cougars again, they will have reached a stage that even last year's heralded team failed to sniff.
"We're just overall proud of our squad," Hardy said. "We did lose a lot of seniors, but to be as good and have the resilience that we did and fight back against the odds of people saying we weren't going to be as good as were last year, it's a great feeling."

The plans I built from are included in the book instant boatbuilding with dynamite payson, the boat is known as the bolger cartopper. A chronological build is available on my blog.
Step 1: Materials Selection
Boats built from wood usually employ exotic "marine" ply or to save on cost "exterior grade" ply wood. Since I just wanted a boat that floats and knew I would be fiber-glassing it anyway I chose a high quality 5 ply 1/4" exterior plywood available at my local lumberyard. My total cost was just under $80 for the four sheets that the bolger cartopper requires. This represents the largest materials expense in building the boat.
The rest of the boat required a small amount of douglass fir lumber, about 200 ring shank nails, 8 yards of 6oz bidirectional fiberglass cloth, 1.5 gallons of polyester resin(If i did it again I would use epoxy resin), and some electrical fence wire(for stitching panels together).
My total cost not including engine was $300
Nice job and a great looking boat!
Thank You. It has been donated to a boy scout troop.
T can not build one just depends one this instucture
The plans are available in the book instant boatbuilding with dynamite payson. It has several plans in it. I think I got the book from barns n noble.
However, I donated the boat to the boy scouts last year, and I am now building an airplane.
Could You add some plans with measurements?
Excellent suggestion about using epoxy instead of polyester resin, it is much more durable, but does cost a lot more.
I like the modifications you made to the seats.
Can this one be modified to use a sailing rig?, I know the Gypsy was orginally designed for the sailing rig.
any thought about doing a canoe next?

The Deal: Fall Boots at Zappos.com!
The Lowdown:Look we know you're on tight budget, but there are times when you would like to splurge on one great piece (remember the cost per wear- high quality, more expensive items can actually be cheaper than cheap items). We suggest that you should consider a great pair of fall boots as your splurge because you can wear them for 8 months out of the year and if you take care of them have them for years (my mother has a pair of Frye boots that are close to 40 years old- figure out the cost per wear on that).

Toyota Celica 2003, CS-10 Tire Chains by Thule®. Sold in pairs. If you're looking for ease of installation, maximum traction, and ease of removal in a tire chain, you've found it with the Thule CS-10. These tire chains are a breeze to install, and self-tensioning and auto-adjusting, so you can be on your way regardless of what Mother Nature dishes out. And the asymmetrical diamond pattern chain with icebreaker reinforcements will provide the grip to get you to your destination. When the road clears, just pull on the external release lever to remove the chain. CS-10 Tire Chains are available to fit all popular tire sizes.
- Color coded assembly points aide installation
- 10mm diameter links makes these chains ideal for vehicles with very little clearance at the inside of the wheel
- Self-tensioning system: just one stop to fit the chain
- Micro-regulation system for perfect tensioning of the chain
- External release lever minimizes getting dirty and removal time
- Manufactured from hardened manganese nickel alloy steel
- Asymmetrical diamond pattern chain with icebreaker reinforcements, for the best grip on snow and ice
- Nylon buttons on chain protect wheels from damage
- Comes with a convenient storage case
- Compatible with anti-lock braking systems and traction control systems
- Comes with gloves and a kneeling mat to ease installation and removal
- Comes complete with everything required for installation, including instructions

When you need maximum traction for the slipperiest conditions, wrap a set of Thule CS-10 Tire Chains around your drive wheels and be on your way. They couldn't be any easier to install. The attachment points are color coded, to make installation easy, even in the dark. And installation will be completed as you drive, because the self-tensioning and auto-adjusting system will adjust the chains for perfect tension and fit as you roll down the road. Removal is also simple; just pull on the external release lever to remove the chain from the tire.
The CS-10 is manufactured from hardened manganese nickel alloy steel for long term durability. It gives you all the traction you need thanks to the unique dual-sided D-shaped link design with the steel icebreaker reinforcement plates. If clearance is tight between the inside of your tires and inner fender wells or mechanical components, the CS-10 is ideal because it takes up very little room. And the anti-scratch nylon buttons will protect the finish on your wheels.

ST. MARYS – Timely hitting from Elk County Catholic's bottom of the order helped put the Crusaders back at the top in District 9 baseball.
Elk County Catholic used six combined hits from the No. 8 and No. 9 hitters in the batting order to hold off Johnsonburg 10-7 in the District 9 Class A baseball championship game Thursday afternoon at Berwind Park in St. Marys.
"Johnsonburg never quits," Elk County Catholic coach Father Eric Vogt said. "That's why they were the No. 1 seed. They played good baseball. They gave everything they had."
ST. MARYS – Johnsonburg baseball had another comeback in them to give the Rams at least two more games in their season.
The Rams rallied from a 3-0 deficit to force extra innings and then won it in the bottom of the eighth with a run for a 4-3 victory over Cranberry Wednesday afternoon at Berwind Park of St. Marys.
SHIPPENSBURG – Johnsonburg triple jumper Gabbi Benninger finished a co-silver medalist for Johnsonburg track and field after completion of the second day of the PIAA Track and Field Championships Saturday at Shippensburg University.
Benninger tied for second with her jump of 36-9.5. Kayla Caruso of Montoursville also jumped 36-9.5. Lanae Newsome of Brookville won the state championship in triple jump with her mark of 39-6.75. Newsome is the state record-holder in triple jump with her mark of 40-3.5 set last year at the state meet. Newsome will be graduating this year.
SHIPPENSBURG – Johnsonburg track and field opened competition at the first day of the PIAA Track and Field championships held at Seth Grove Stadium on the campus of Shippensburg University.
JOHNSONBURG – Johnsonburg baseball is back in the district semifinals.
The Rams had timely hitting and a strong starting pitching effort to win 3-0 over Coudersport in the District 9 Class A baseball quarterfinals Thursday afternoon at Knothole Area Recreational Park.
Cole Peterson struck out 10 for the Rams in a complete game effort. Coudersport had three hits against the junior pitcher.
EMLENTON – It was a pitching tour de force by Ridgway starting pitcher Josh Mitchell against A-C Valley.
Mitchell struck out 17 A-C Valley hitters and allowed just one hit as Ridgway won 3-0 in the first round of the District 9 Class A baseball playoffs Tuesday afternoon.
"I just want to thank my teammates," Mitchell said. "Ben (MacDonald) called a great game. It also helped for us scoring runs too in the fifth inning. I probably wouldn't have momentum and adrenaline to finish up."
KNOX – Keystone softball rallied with a 4-run seventh inning to win 8-7 over Ridgway in the first round of the District 9 Class A softball playoffs held Monday afternoon at Keystone High School.
KANE – Johnsonburg track and field will be sending multiple athletes to the PIAA Track and Field Championships after the District 9 Championships held Friday at Paul R. Miller Stadium in Kane.
Gabbi Benninger broke the Ridgway triple jump and qualified for states with her triple jump mark of 37-10.5.
Lanae Newsome of Brookville broke the D-9 meet record with her mark of 40-3.5 in triple jump. Newsome also broke her own 100-meter dash record with a time of 12.38 to win that event.
Ridgway baseball won their second game in as many days with a 10-4 win over Curwensville Wednesday afternoon at Sandy Beach Recreational Park.
"Coming off of that win [Tuesday] night, you weren't going to know what to expect because you're turning around and playing roughly less than 24 hours later," Ridgway coach Mark Morelli said.

Coping Tips for Siblings and Adult Children of Persons with Mental Illness
If you find it difficult to come to terms with the challenges presented by your sibling's or parent's mental illness, you are not alone: there are many others who share your difficulty. Most siblings and adult children of people living with psychiatric disorders find that mental illness in a brother, sister or parent is a tragic event that changes everyone's life in many fundamental ways. Strange, unpredictable behaviors in a loved one can be devastating, and your own personal anxiety can increase as you struggle with each illness episode and worry about the future. It seems impossible at first, but most siblings and adult children find that over time they do gain the knowledge and skills to cope with the challenges resulting from the mental illness effectively. They find that they have strengths they never knew they had, and they are able to meet situations that they never anticipated facing.
The best starting place for learning to cope is to educate yourself; find out as much information as possible about mental illness by reading and by talking with others experiencing similar difficulties. NAMI has a variety of resources available for you: books, pamphlets, fact sheets and other resources available about different illnesses, treatments and issues you may have to deal with. NAMI has an educational program developed specifically for family members of individuals living with mental illness. The NAMI Family-to-Family Program is a 12-session course that teaches families facts about the illnesses, skills necessary to navigate the challenging episodes and how to find support for the future. NAMI also provides support groups for family members of individuals living with mental illness. These groups provide reminders about the need for you to take care of yourself so that you can continue to face the issues presented by the illnesses.
To find information about support groups and Family-to-Family classes in your area contact your NAMI State Organization or NAMI Affiliate. If you need information on how to contact them visit the NAMI website at www.nami.org or call the NAMI HelpLine at 1 (800) 950-6264. You will find a wide array of information and links to other resources when you visit the NAMI website.
The following are some things to consider:
1. Basic principles
2. Strategies and Realities
3. Self Care and Balancing your needs with that of your loved one

Gallery: Team Rhône-Alpes' Modular Canopea House Wins the Architecture ...
Both vertical and horizontal stacks of Canopea homes can produce nanotowers that respond to the dearth of urban space in France. Each level is a fairly spacious, complete home, and only the very top is crowned with the louvered canopy of solar-panels. In this setting, the PV array won't generate enough energy for an entire column, but it will get close, and the program's overall energy efficiency will reduce how much power is necessary.
Organized by a smart grid that oversees heating, cooling, mobility, services and social networks, the nanotowers are designed to become completely integrated in the city. Gardens, storage boxes and a recycling system help to keep the focus on the environment and sustainability, while an outdoor terrace helps to expand the interior space. Team Rhône-Alpes has been on task every step of the way, but the competition is steep. Stay tuned as we continue to report live from the Villa Solar in Madrid.

Hello Inhabitat
My name is Marco Antonio Murillo, I live in New Westminster, British Columbia. The contest winners came up with a great design, I myself have been working on a busiess model named Ecotecture, which I got to discuss twice with Dickson Despommier, the author of the book "The Vertical Farm".
I'd like to get in touch with the Canopea House Team. As a Canadian citizen and resident of British Columbia, I have the vision that the concept adapts well to our rocky mountains, an environment very similar to the Rhône-Alpes in France. Moreover, I'd like to invite the team to join me launching Ecotecture.
Could you send me a reply with the contact information (or your suggestions), and a brief description of how do the Canopea House Team plans to implement the concept outside France? I am open to be a partner and to correspond to any inquires about our region.
Thank you
Marco A. Murillo
