David Moon, who runs the politics blog Maryland Juice, is eyeing a bid for the Maryland House of Delegates in 2014.
Moon, 34, of Silver Spring said Thursday in a phone interview that a run for District 20 is "a likely outcome," for him, adding that he plans to make a formal decision around Labor Day.
On March 22, Moon officially formed a campaign committee with the Maryland Board of Elections, according to information provided by the election board.
Despite Moon's active blogging about 2014 races for governor, attorney general, comptroller and Montgomery County executive, not even a whiff of his own impending candidacy has appeared on his blog, marylandjuice.com.
But Moon said to expect something soon, as he has been working on a couple of pieces that he has not had time to finish. They will explain his reasons for considering a go at public office, he said.
"I'm trying to focus on advocacy work right now and winding that down before I have to enter the nasty realm of campaigning," he said.
Del. Sam Arora (D-Dist. 19) of Silver Spring said in an email that District 20 will be a crowded field of "many impressive candidates, some whom have served their community for years."
"It should be a spirited and substantive debate," he wrote. "I wish all candidates well."
Arora is the subject of a standing attack on Maryland Juice's homepage calling him a "liar," that links to a post criticizing his vote against same-sex marriage after campaigning in favor of it.
Moon said he was born and raised in Montgomery County and chose his current residence in District 20 because it is an "awesome community."
Defining his work, including his blog, as progressive advocacy, Moon said he currently splits his time between the advocacy site Demand Progress, where he is program director, and launching Communities for Transit, a nonprofit in support of countywide rapid transit.
Moon has also worked for local politicos, including a brief stint in the office of Council President Nancy Navarro (D-Dist. 4) of Silver Spring.

any player as long as its real and not one of those yuck china knock offs I see all over ebay! lol
I go with QB gamers myself though!
IDK how to add pictures yet, but wanted to post my game worn fiedler's and druckenmiller lol. Also have a Pennington gamer with captains patch : )
Right now, I'd say Wake or Tannehill. Long also if he gets an extension. Problem is, the Phins are talking about uniform/logo tweaks for next year. Based on that I'd say Tannehill. If he ends up being great and they do make a significant change to the uni, you have absolute proof that you were a fan of his from the beginning.

Step 1: Materials
1. Foam cooler
2. Dryer hose
3. fog machine
4. Ice
1. compass
2. knife
Anyways, if it helps what I used was a Sunterra Mistmaker Fogger http://www.sunterrausa.com/decorative-accessories/product/300409 that I picked up at Menards. It seems they have something similar listed on their website now. http://www.menards.com/main/p-1657811-c-10121.htm (the LED setup is different).
The first time I tried combining the jack-o-lanter, the pond pump, and the mister I put it in the "catch pond". It wasn't bad but well... you can guess how much better it looked with the fog mister inside the pumpkin...
What I mean by "Their" dry ice, is that most of their cooled goods that have to travel by air, will be packed with dry ice. In fact, it could possibly be that they use it for a multitude of other packaging needs as well.
I have purchased pounds of dry ice this way. They have NO use for it after it has arrived, and a token sum is usually all they ask in return, if anything.
So I am thinking this: If you were to trade in your Styrofoam for a rubbermaid container, you could seal the holes around the flexible ducting, and then fill it with alcohol, isopropyl works.... anything with a LOW freezing point. You then put the dry ice into that, and you'll have a SUPER COLD source to cool your fog... you could BLAST TONS through here, and it would all get nicely cooled.
the theater i work in has a couple of homebuilt dry ice foggers that are pretty nice. all you need is a plastic drum, a wooden lid, broom handle, wire basket, and dryer hose. an immersion heater helps, too, but isn't absolutely necessary. maybe i should make an instructable for that....
You may be able to get some for free.

According to my Dhamma teachers, a person can make tons of progress in the jhanas, and acquire some of the reported extraordinary abilities, without necessarily attaining as much in the way of wisdom or morals. I have been cautioned about this by my teachers on more than one occasion, and my understanding of it is that it has to do with mindfulness and responsibility.
Some years ago I had the great privilege of reading a really disturbing little novella called "Childhood's End" by Arthur C. Clarke. In the story, the world is suddenly visited by an alien race whose intelligence and strength far surpasses our own. They assume a benevolent (but secretive) control over the affairs of humanity, and each decree they issue produces peaceful and wise results. But one of their decrees is met with bewilderment, and that is that the space programs of all nations are to be immediately ended. The only explanation they give is this: "the stars are not for Man." It turns out that humanity, in its current state, would have done little except play out our defilements upon a galactic scale, and the results would have been catastrophic.
I think this is how I view these abilities. As in our current world, we have some truly amazing resources - the Internet, uranium enrichment, genetics, renewable energy - which are truly amazing in their potential, and yet can be cataclysmic in the hands of people (no matter how scholarly they may be) whose lives are controlled by lust, anger, and delusion.
So, now comes the question of whether or not I actually think such things are real or not. The truth is, I just don't know. I come from an empirical background too, so I admit I am biased against such claims. I have not yet seen anyone predict the future in some falsifiable way. I have never heard anyone even claim to speak with the departed dead, but I'm not sure that ability would be of much use anyway. I have, however, had people who were experienced meditators give me guidance that was so stunningly specific, so insightful, that I couldn't help but wonder if they had some special insight into my mind.
But I guess that's it, isn't it? Maybe these "gifts" are a lot less miraculous than we give them credit for, and really they amount to the subtle workings of a very calm and disciplined mind. Not so much "supernatural" but more "uncommon." I'm not even sure that "supernatural" is a meaningful word anyway.

CHECT campaign declared a success!
Campaign update
In September we were contacted by the Department of Health who informed us that, as a result of our campaign, information on the signs of retinoblastoma had now been included in a prominent and relevant section of the NHS Choices website.
The information has been uploaded into the pregnancy and www.conasems.org.br baby section of the site, where concerned parents are now directed for more information on symptoms of serious illnesses.
A fantastic result for everyone involved in the campaign!
Moving on...
During the last 18 months you kindly supported our campaign to raise awareness of the signs and symptoms of the childhood eye cancer retinoblastoma, by signing our petition.
We are thrilled to say that we have had significant success since our campaign was first launched in May last year.
Firstly, the NHS Choices website has now produced a page with information on retinoblastoma, the symptoms and where to seek help, as well as direct links to the Childhood Eye Cancer Trust for further information. We are delighted that NHS Choices has recognised the importance of keeping parents informed and also that they have been able to endorse CHECT in this way by directly linking to our website.
This success was followed by the exciting news in June this year that the Institute of Child Health wholly accepted our recommendations for changes in the Personal Child Health Record (known as the PCHR or Red Book) which is distributed to every new parent in Great Britain. This means the signs of retinoblastoma will now be flagged up as a reason for concern, signposting parents to seek help if they see something unusual.
We have continued to lobby for changes to the Birth to Five website and book and also to the NHS Direct website.
However, we have recently become aware that, as a result of fundamental changes within the Department of Health, further revisions to Birth to Five content and NHS Direct are no longer able to be made. The DoH's future plans for all three vital sources of information remain unclear at this time. Until this situation changes the Childhood Eye Cancer Trust has taken the decision to concentrate its limited resources into its healthcare professional awareness campaign, primarily targeting GPs and health visitors.
As soon as the future of Birth to Five and NHS Direct is clarified we will of course again review our campaign and will keep you updated.
Thank you for all your help in pushing this issue up the agenda and contributing to the huge success we have achieved in this area – raising awareness will always be one of our key objectives and we remain grateful for your support.
We are working hard to develop an awareness programme for healthcare professionals which aims to reduce delays in diagnosis. The focus of this is to ensure frontline health professionals know the signs and symptoms of Rb, how to check for them and make a rapid referral where necessary. We will keep you posted on progress and value your support to make this programme as successful as the Department of Health campaign has been.

Comments On Jun 01, 2015:harnesses are super comfortable, easy to use, as fast as putting on stock seat belts and really lock you into the wheeler. very easy install. only downfall is that they take forever to dry out after washing the machine. will never consider going back to stock belts. I have never been disappointed in anything dragonfire

Comments On Apr 03, 2015:Really great set of safety belts, wish they would make a quick disconnect where the mount to the center brackets, so you could remove them to get to the engine compartment, still a good investment, some hardware bolts I had to replace because they didn't fit.

Comments On Jan 25, 2015:Very comfortabe for adult size people. Shorter people probably will not like the chest straps. Chest straps are sewn to the harness and can not be moved down to accomodate short people. Therfore you may end up with a strap rubbing your face.

however..it is hard to adjust for other drivers

Comments On Mar 21, 2014:After reviewing the reviews I purchased two sets for my XP900. The harnesses are great BUT that "easy" installation was not true. The driver side was not too hard once I got past the tight area along the body, HOWEVER the passenger side required the removal of the body and an impact tool to get the tightly placed bolt free. That is NOT an easy installation. Bear this in mind when you install the harnesses. They are worth the effort but don't think it is an easy job.

Comments On Dec 27, 2013:This harness set up is top notch and extremely safe. Keeps my 13 yr old strapped in and does not allow to him to move around. A must for any Razor owner. Excellent construction and easy to install.

currently the 19th ranked competitive eater in the world
Aside from Wallace growing up in NO and playing for Ole Miss and predictibly preferring warm weather: the Ohio state income tax rate is nearly 6% and it looks like the Cleveland municipal income tax rate is 2%. Beyond that PHilbin is a SB-winning offense coach, and I don't believe that Chud, as an NFL offensive coordinator has ever produced a team that even went .500.
So obviously raw numbers don't tell the whole story.
Don't believe this either way. Pretty much everybody in the front office of Cleveland now worked with Joe Banner (CEO of the Browns) in Philly, and Banner's never been one to throw money around like that. Hell, Philly fans blame their recent struggles on no longer having Banner
The above post is not subject to penalty under the TOS I declare the Hayden Fox defense. " It is impossible for the staff to know my context therefore I cannot be penalized"
even if its true, for 13.5 million they can have him. I really dont think hes worth that much...BUT, he is only 26. He's got YEARS ahead of him to improve.

Looks like DC friend Jeremy Collake (maker of PECompact) released a cool little utility recently that benchmarks registry speed.
As Martin on ghacks points out, this will finally make it much easier to answer the questions about the effects of registry defragging and cleaning. I can't wait to see the benchmark scores on before and after registry defragging so we can see what the real speedup is.

Lenoir Memorial Board votes to pursue strategic partnership with Novant Health
After a yearlong selection process for a strategic partner, the Lenoir Memorial Board of Directors has unanimously voted to pursue a partnership through a management agreement with Novant Health, hospital officials announced today.

"Through an affiliation with Novant Health, we will further enhance the services we provide, ensuring that high-quality care remains close to home." The Lenoir Memorial Board now enters discussions with Novant Health to structure the terms of the partnership, leading to the signing of the management agreement, which the board hopes to finalize this spring.LEARN MORE

Call (888) 784-1722 Mon-Sat 8:30-5:00 PST
Thanks for Subscribing!
Use Code: at Checkout!
Hurry! Expires !
When placing your bare root orders, please be aware that AS SOON as the trees/plants are available to ship (Dec. for trees, Jan. for plants), we will begin shipping IMMEDIATELY - no matter where you are located !!!
There are several factors why we must ship immediately:
When your order arrives, you should remove it from the outside elements before nightfall. If you will not be present at the destination when the order will be delivered, you should either ship the order to another location or make sure someone will be there to take care of your order.
While your order is hardy enough to withstand freezing temperatures in its box, you definitely should not leave it outside in sub-zero temperatures for days on end.
AS IMPORTANTLY, you then need to open the box, remove the trees/plants from their plastic bag, store them in a basement, cellar or garage, covering their roots with sand, dirt, sawdust or wood chips (do not use cedar that is toxic to the trees) and keep them moist until you are able to plant them in the ground in Spring.
Plants generally grow 6"–8" tall and 12" across, are shallow–rooted, and benefit from mulch such as straw, pine needles, or plastic. Strawberries prefer a soil rich in all the basic nutrients with a pH of 6–6.5. Susceptible to root rot and must be planted in well–drained soil, with crown set at soil level.
Yield under the best of conditions is about one basket per plant per season. June bearers generally produce a single large crop in spring to early summer (as early as March in warmer regions) and are prolific producers for 3 to 4 weeks. Pick the blossoms off June bearers the first year to boost production the second year. Everbearers are not as prolific as June bearers but are especially suitable for growers who wish to harvest a constant supply of berries throughout the summer. Plant some of both to have a large harvest to preserve, and plenty to eat all summer!
Full Box Quantities: The plant count of a full box is 1500. If you buy a box, you will end up paying only $0.10/plant. Full boxes ship directly from our supplier via FedEx and have the following shipping routes: If you are in FedEx zone 2-5, box ships FedEx Ground. If you are in FedEx zone 6-8, box ships FedEx 3-Day.

Costco - Prime Beef Vs Choice test
After talking about the choice Vs Prime steaks at Costco on another thread I decided the only real way to get to the bottom of this was to do SxS tests. I'm starting with Top Sirloin steaks and will follow up with Rib Eyes and NY strips in the future. I also mentioned that the meat cutters seem to really hack up the meat in our area. We have some thing like eight Costco's in our area and I frequent four on a fairly regular basis so this is not a single unit issue. I'll post photos of the poor cuts as well.
I spoke to a meat cutter who indicated that all of the Prime beef Costco is getting is imported from Mexico and graded in the USA and this is how they are allowed to use the USDA Prime rating. I searched through a stack of packages and could not find any Prime Top Sirloin with a USDA inspectors roll stamp. I picked the best package of both the prime and choice I could find. When I show the SxS comparisons they will be of the best steak from each package. Sadly the prime steaks were cut even more poorly than the choice. Both packages were roughly the same weight. Choice was $3.49 a pound Vs $4.99 for prime.
I did a tasting with three others. Three agreed that the choice had a better flavor or was "beefier". Every one agreed the Prime was more tender. When I told every one that the Primes were roughly $6 more for the package every one agreed the Choice was the better buy.
I want to be clear that we only tested a few steaks from one store and while this is subjective my hope is that it is better than no direct comparison at all.
Lets start with a shot of what a properly cut Top Sirloin should look like.
The first image is NOT Costco meat.
re: Fritter
The next two photos show the packages SxS and one of the primesteaks that has been "hacked". That divet in the steak is a knife cut. This was the worst steak in the prime package. Over all two steaks in the prime package were poorly cut Vs one in the choice package.
Here we have a close up of the two lesser steaks from the Prime package. The first is obviously not the best steak. The second is cut in a pie shape and is wedged (uneven thicknes). If you compare these to the standard butchers cut in my initial post you can see some of these are more like chunks of beef than steaks. Average weight was roughly 20 ounces each.
In this set there is a shot of the uneven thickness of the Choice steaks and then a SxS comparison of the Prime Vs Choice. The last photo on the right will be the one that I suspect most of you will be interested in expanding.
My personal conclusions were a bit of a draw. The Primes were more tender but they only displayed a minimal amount of improved marbling over the Choice. The six dollar premium on the package of prime won't break the bank for many but as one of my guests said it will still buy starch and veg for a dinner.
There were some comments in the other thread that these Prime steaks are the same as steaks used in restaurants. Many steak houses have a standard SOP not to buy Texas Beef so I don't think in those cases beef imported from Mexico would work. Unless any one plans to run a restaurant and use Costco as a meat supplier I'm not sure that will be relevant to most.
The Prime top sirloins I tested here were not nearly as good as other prime top sirloins I've had or used in the paat. The price at Costco is far lower although the true end price is a bit deceptive based on the yield. I will be grinding about 50% of this purchase because the meat is so poorly cut.
Having said that I don't mind a fresh ground sirloin burger and $3.49- $4.99 a pound isn't a bad price for that.
I should also note the Prime steaks were far wetter. On the other thread another CH mentioned that they felt the Costco steaks in Canada had been needled. When I was processing my photos I did indeed see what appeared to be holes in one of the prime steaks. When I use the next batch of the prime Top Sirloins I will closely inspect them. I had not thought of that even though I have worked with a fair amount of needled meat. The texture of the prime steak was indeed similar to meat that had been needled or tenderized.
re: Fritter
Thanks. That was damn interesting!
Timing was perfect. I was at my local (Des Moines,Ia) Costco Saturday. They had the Prime sirloin. It's the first Prime beef I've found there in all the time I've been a member.(3yrs?)
The cuts were as you described, and pictured. A bit of a mess. One chunk almost 3" thick. at one end, tapering to maybe 1/2 ". The marbleing looked no better than the choice.
GF wanted to buy a pack, but I talked her out of it. When I've been lucky enough to find Prime beef in the past, just the appearance brought tears to my eyes. This did not excite me.
re: GretchenS
Thanks. The taste tests were fun. :)
Prime rib eyes have been fairly common here so I hope to do the same with them in the future.
re: Fritter
The Costco in my area usually has western Canadian beef, grade "AAA" from Alberta. This is typically raised on grass and hay, hormone free, and finished on grain, usually barley. Sometimes the rib eyes look nicely marbled, but most are typical "AAA".
Is it practical for you to compare a "AAA" rib eye from Windsor, to a corn finished USDA Choice rib eye from Detroit?
re: jayt90
Honestly I don't know. I'm not sure what the laws are regarding carrying fresh meat across the border. IIR the US gets uptight about fish coming in to the US.
I haven't been to Windsor in a while but that might be a good reason to go.
I'll look into that. I think it would be an interesting comparison and I could get some dill pickle potato chips!
re: Fritter
Canadians can bring back groceries including meat from the U.S., duty free.
I believe that custom is reciprocal, but have not been in MI or NY recently. Have to get a passport now! I hope the border situation becomes more reasonable soon.
re: jayt90
I haven't crossed in a while but in the past the problem was never going into Canada it was getting back into the USA. Not that I'm against smuggeling a steak. (shhhhhh)
I used to work at DTW and knew the head customs inspector so I'll try to see what I can find out. In fact I'm headed to Comerica Park on Sunday any how so maybe we will swing over to Windsor. If not then maybe in the future.

Yesterday we had bagna cauda at a friend's house. It was too much, so everyone went home with a leftovers bottle (around 1 liter).
Will it ruin if I freeze it?

You can freeze cream, but it will undergo some separation issues. When you thaw it you can shake or mix it to reintegrate the milk solids that have separated. Unfortunately, it will not regain the same mouth feel as never frozen liquid dairy. Basically I never freeze dairy that I want to drink, only things I will be cooking with or baking with.
In the case of this dip, I assume it will be reheated when you want to eat it, so I would say that you can freeze it and when you reheat spend some time with a whisk to recombine fully.
Isn't bagna cauda oil, anchovies, and butter. I would say yes to freezing but whisk once back to room temperature and don't be surprised if texture changes.

Angry Deniers. A bunch of agenda-driven whiny clowns whose sole mission is to deny anything good that Tannehill has done and deny anything bad that the "gods of quarterbacks" have done.
..and last night, the game most everyone saw and knew the outcome of within a few minutes after the half: the jets were in it into the fourth quarter despite having their score tripled, and Big Ben shaking off and laughing at their best defensive attempts.
Really, you need a reality check; I've never seen anyone so homeristic as you... not even counting your BS "woozie doozie" LMAO
I am supremely confident in our QB. I leave the excuses for his success to you guys.
we were down 13-10 at the half, how was the game over? even down 20-10 we are getting a punt near midfield and our PR fumbles it. We were still in it, even up until the horrible non fumble call where we would have had it w/ 6 mins left down 10 in decent FP.
Please don't insult me by calling me a homer when there isn't a bigger homer and more delusional fan on the planet than you.
I wouldn't expect a fake fan like you to realize the Jets and pats have met in the div rd only once and that was in 2010. NE beat us 2 times in WC games(once in '85, once in '06) but you've been a "fan" since the Grogan days
QBs that are "in no danger" of losing their jobs don't have to face the constant scrutiny from fans and media that Sanchez has over the last season+. Nearly everyone else sees that Sanchez needs to step up. QBs that are established don't enter the season with these kinds of questions. Sanchez has a significant percentage of doubters every season.

COMET BABY!!!! Scott Papa will attest to this disc being one of the greatest turnover mid range drivers ever.
love the sidewinder in lighter weights that thing will fly forever
my buddy uses this and calls it the floppy dil', he loves it, even a few aces with it
The Aerobie EPIC...
Patience + an Open Field = an extra 100+ feet on your overhead drives!!!
A GREAT disc for anyone else stuck playing courses that were obviously designed by a disgruntled Parks & Rec employee with no imagination... or any idea about disc golf, really... sigh...
I just pulled my champion sidewinder out of box of backups the other day. I hadn't thrown it in well over a year, and every shot I made with it that day was amazing.
This is the most underrated disc in my bag. Everything else is pretty standard. Valk, Roc, Nuke, Buzz, Leopard, and so on.
Not underrated by me, just got one and effing love it, it just soars. I wish it had more fade, though, because I'm programmed to go for turnovers, bad habit, but this disc rules.
yeah very very straight disc.

The 2011 Formula One season officially kicks off on Friday in Melbourne – and everyone at Albert Park, from drivers to fans, couldn't be happier
by Matthew Clayton
Mark Webber was referring to the 24 Formula One drivers here in Melbourne this weekend, but he may as well have been speaking for the rest of us. "We now just want to get into it," said Webber on Thursday, and finally, 130 days after the finale to last season in Abu Dhabi, the 2011 Formula One season will kick off on Friday at Albert Park.
After the best season of his career, it's little wonder Webber wants to get 2011 underway. The new Red Bull RB7, designed by Adrian Newey, has been quick and reliable in pre-season testing, and the Australian will start his quest to become our first World Champion since 1980 when the first practice session of the new season starts at 12.30pm local time.
Joining Webber on track on Friday will be another local, Perth's Daniel Ricciardo. The 21-year-old will take part in Friday practice at all 19 Grands Prix this season for the Toro Rosso team, and admitted earlier in the week to being a bundle of nervous excitement ahead of his debut at a Grand Prix weekend.
Ricciardo will be joined by fellow-reserve drivers Karun Chandhok (Lotus) and Nico Hulkenberg (Force India) on track on Friday as the teams complete two 90-minute sessions. Rookies Paul di Resta (Force India), Sergio Perez (Sauber), Pastor Maldonado (Williams) and Jerome D'Ambrosio (Virgin) will lap the 5.303km Albert Park circuit for the first time, while at the other end of the experience scale, 38-year-old Williams veteran Rubens Barrichello will commence his record 19th Grand Prix season with his 16th appearance in Melbourne.
Friday's weather forecast is tipped for a repeat of the wind and rain that dampened proceedings at Albert Park for the support race categories on Thursday, but that won't stop the 12 F1 teams in their attempts to get to grips with the new-for-2011 Pirelli tyres and other technical additions including the implementation of adjustable rear wings.
While all eyes will understandably be on the first outing for F1 cars at a race weekend in 2011, Friday will also see plenty of activity in the support race categories in a packed program that starts at 11am.
Racing starts with the first of three Porsche Carrera Cup sprints for the weekend at 11.25am, while there will be a double-dose of on-track action for Australia's premier motorsport category in the V8 Supercars Albert Park 400.
A top 10 shoot-out to determine the grid for the first of three races this weekend will take place at 3pm, with Kiwi young gun Shane Van Gisbergen (Ford) the fastest man in qualifying on Thursday afternoon. A 50-minute race for the field of 28 Holdens and Fords will commence at 6.20pm.

Chasing Interior Ducts
In order for ducts within conditioned spaces to be effective, builders need to establish an effective air barrier around them.
Energy efficiency experts agree that minimizing duct leakage is one of the most important energy conservation measures they can take. It provides rapid payback from energy savings and mitigates the health and durability issues associated with duct leakage to and from unconditioned spaces.Over the past 15 years, researchers and builders have developed three primary strategies to reduce the impact of duct leakage: sealing ducts, placing ducts in unvented attics or crawlspaces, and placing the ducts in conditioned space.This article focuses on placing the ducts within the conditioned space.
The design and construction guidelines given below are the results of our work with builders and an energy consultant who routinely build homes with ducts in the conditioned space. They are Bentwood Custom Homes of Waxahachie,Texas; Broward County Habitat for Humanity of Fort Lauderdale, Florida; Durham County Habitat for Humanity of Durham, North Carolina; and builders affiliated with Ken Fonorow of the Florida Home Energy and Resources Organization, Incorporated, of Gainesville, Florida.
Duct Leakage Basics
Forced-air heating and cooling systems distribute air by means of an air handler and a duct system.The air handler is designed to remove air from the house, condition it, and supply it back to each room.
Duct leakage can occur on either the supply side or the return side of the air handler, as well as in the air handler itself. Both supply and return leaks cause air to move in unforeseen ways, usually through unconditioned spaces, often bypassing air, thermal, and moisture barriers.
Supply leakage.When supply ducts leak, it creates a negative pressure in the house because more air is being removed than is being supplied.The negative pressure draws air from outside and/or from unconditioned spaces (infiltration) through holes in the house's air barrier.This leads to
• backdrafting of atmospheric combustion devices (water heaters, space heaters, fireplaces);
• introduction of outside air pollution, pollen, and other allergens;
• introduction of airborne particles (such as dust, insulation, and VOCs) from floors,walls, and ceiling cavities;
• degraded comfort (damp or drafty rooms);
• greater conditioning load; and
• reduced system life.
Supply leaks also spill conditioned air into unconditioned spaces,wasting energy and creating the potential for mold growth, condensation, and rot.
Return leakage. When return ducts leak, part of the return air is drawn from unconditioned spaces, or outside, rather than from the house.This dirty air often bypasses the system's filter.The leakage creates a positive pressure in the house because more air is being supplied than is being removed.The positive pressure forces air through holes in the house's air barrier (exfiltration). Return duct leakage leads to
• introduction of outside and/or unconditioned air, with its attendant moisture, dirt, and pollutants, into the air handler;
• degraded comfort (conditioned air is leaving the house);
• increased conditioning load; and
• reduced system life.
Reducing Duct Leakage
There are three primary ways to reduce duct leakage.
Sealing ducts. Researchers and builders have studied the duct leakage phenomenon for about 15 years and have found that sealing the duct system with a combination of fiberglass mesh and mastic is inexpensive and cost-effective. Several residential studies have shown that these simple repairs can reduce duct leakage to less than 3%–5% of the fan flow (at 25 Pa), saving 15%–20% of cooling and heating costs, respectively, or about $60 annually.At an installed cost of about $200, this improvement generally pays for itself in less than four years.The basic premise of this concept is that the air barrier of the duct system needs to be continuous and directly connected to the air barrier of the house.
Placing ducts in unvented attics or crawlspaces. In recent years, researchers have begun to explore another way to reduce the duct leakage. Relocating the thermal and air barriers of the house to the outer edges of the structure creates either an insulated roof deck or insulated foundation walls.The space containing the ducts is not vented to the outside, nor is it conditioned. Research to evaluate the effectiveness of this method is in progress. Code issues and construction process logistics factor large in this approach.
Interior ducts. The third way to reduce duct leakage is to put the entire forced-air system, including the air handler, inside the conditioned space.Technically, this means inside the air boundary as well as the thermal boundary, and within the space that is served by the conditioning system. Field data evaluating the success of this strategy are scant.The primary challenges in this approach involve establishing an air barrier around the ducts, meeting code requirements, and integrating the new detail into the design and construction process.Theoretically, interior ducts will yield the savings of eliminating duct leakage plus the savings of reduced thermal gain/loss in the duct system.
Developing a Standard
Usually an interior duct system is installed either in a fur-down chase below the ceiling insulation, or in a furup chase in the attic, insulated at the same time as the ceiling.Though ducts in floor cavities between upstairs and downstairs are often thought of as being in conditioned space, this is rarely the case.A definitive air barrier does not normally surround floor cavities.With careful attention to sealing the perimeter of the floor cavity, placing ducts in floor cavities may be a viable option.
Seen from the living area, fur-up chases are literally indistinguishable from the finished ceiling; seen from the attic, they look like a boxed-out area covered with insulation.All sealing should be complete before insulation is installed, since access to the chase from below will be limited after the ducts and drywall are installed.All sides of the chase should be thoroughly covered with insulation. Since fur-ups are more obvious from the attic than fur-downs, they are more likely to be targeted for wiring and plumbing runs.The chase needs to be carefully inspected before the builder releases the house.Upon completion of the house, all penetrations should be filled with a code-approved sealant, and any missing pieces of the air barrier should be replaced and sealed.
Fur-down chases built down into the conditioned space generally occupy the upper portion of hallways, run along walls, and/or cut across open living areas as architectural elements.The lowered ceiling height can be offset by widening the hallway and can be used to define living spaces in open floor plans. Most of the houses that we studied featured fur-down chases.
Interior ductwork in a fur-down system typically consists of metal or fiberglass duct board. Space limitations generally rule out the use of flex duct. (Note that the flex duct can be used in a fur-up system, or in an unvented attic or crawlspace.)
Usually, ceiling heights cannot be less than 7 ft, to meet code and allow for door framing. For homes with 8-ft ceilings, that leaves 12 inches or less for the ducts and the structure of the chase.To minimize the space needed for the chase structure, detail the smallest available framing member that will support the weight of the drywall (for the bottom of the chase) and the ducts (if these are not supported by straps).This might be 2 x 2s or light-gauge metal framing.
In ranch-style homes (homes with all the bedrooms grouped together at one end of the house, and a main hallway), the chase runs the length of the hallway (flanked by bedrooms) and extends out into the main living area. In split-plan homes (homes with bedrooms on either end of the house, separated by the main living area), the duct chase runs from the master bedroom area across the main living area and into the other bedrooms. Whereas the hallway fur-down makes use of the upper portion of the hall walls, chases in open areas are built out from one wall and down from the ceiling framing.
To locate the chase in a specific design, start by examining the plan for an obvious path.The air handler can be located either centrally or at one end of the chase, but as the heart of the duct system, it must be inside the conditioned space.To avoid long run-out ducts, the chase should trace a path down the center of the house and go to all spaces to be served. Otherwise, small supply runs in unconditioned spaces or excessive chase construction will be required to reach distant rooms.Align the central chase with closets, cabinets, or transverse halls to achieve coverage of all rooms.
The top of the chase should be uninterrupted by framing. Miscellaneous bracing that interrupts the upper air barrier creates additional cutting, fitting, and sealing work. In most cases, the air barrier will be made of an airtight material (such as drywall or rigid insulation) sealed at the edges and seams; and the thermal barrier will be ceiling insulation installed over the top of the chase, and the sides of the chase for fur-ups.
Often it is tempting to use the chase as a ducted return to the air handler, as the chase goes to all rooms.This practice is not currently recommended because reliable sealing of the chase from surrounding unconditioned spaces has proven difficult to achieve.Any leakage in the chase air barrier can cause severe return leaks.This is similar to the pitfalls associated with using building cavities as ducts, as is sometimes done with panned floor joists.
Integrating the New Strategy
Indicate the chase and air handler on both the mechanical drawings and the dimensional drawings.After laying out the chase on the plans, detail it in section for clarity, indicating materials, critical dimensions, and sealing details.
To clearly communicate both the intent and the specifications to all crews working with the chase, provide the plans and the detail to each one.These may include framing, drywall, insulation, and finishing crews as well as the mechanical contractor. Include the electrical and plumbing contractors,who need either to avoid putting holes in the chase or to fill any holes that they make.
Be sure the mechanical contractor takes the location of the ducts into consideration for system sizing calculations and the size of the chase for duct sizing calculations, bearing in mind that for 8- ft ceilings there will be less than 12 inches of clearance.
Before constructing the chase. Most of the chase is built after the rough framing and before the mechanical rough-in.A copy of the mechanical system plan showing the location of the chase in hatch marks should be posted in the house for reference.After rough framing, Ken Fonorow of Gainesville, Florida, recommends marking the location of the chase for the crew building it.The construction supervisor responsible for the chase spray paints the floor along the bottom plate of all the walls where the chase is to be built.They start at the air handler and trace the path of the chase to its end.After the chase is installed, mark the location of the supply registers.
Make sure that materials for building the continuous air barrier (and later the thermal barrier) are available when needed. If any special materials are needed (light gauge metal framing for the chase support, for example), make sure they are on hand.
During construction. Let the guiding principal for building an interior duct system be the establishment and maintenance of an air barrier.After an air barrier is established, a thermal barrier in the same location is needed. The chase's ceiling air barrier should be placed first. Next, place the side or sides of the chase.Then all joints and seams should be sealed with code-approved sealant, including the gap between the air barrier and the top plates of adjacent walls (see Figure 1).At this point, the chase's principal air barrier is complete. The open sides facing conditioned space will be finished later when the rest of the house is drywalled.
Next, the mechanical system is roughed in and the rest of the chase is framed. Much of the duct system can be assembled on the floor and then lifted and strapped into place.The remaining chase framing is put into place within the chase's air barrier in such a way that it will not interrupt the house air barrier.
The joints and seams of the chase must be sealed. So must any penetrations in the chase that intersect an unconditioned space. Note that unconditioned spaces are any cavity or room that is not served by the mechanical system.These include obvious spaces, such as attics, garages, and storage rooms, as well as hidden areas, such as wall and floor cavities.
The penetration in the chase wall for the supply run-out intersects an unconditioned space—the interior wall cavity. To prevent air from coming down from the attic between the drywall and the top plate, the joint between the chase wall and the interior wall framing must be sealed or the joint between the top plate and the drywall must be sealed. Without this continuous air barrier, any duct leakage will be in communication with an unconditioned space, either the attic directly or the interior wall cavity. This type of sealing is especially important in the air handler closet, since the return side of the air handler induces strong negative pressures, significantly increasing the leakage through any gaps.
Special attention must also be paid to the platform that the air handler sits on in the house. Preferably, central returns should be ducted from the air handler to the return grille instead of being open to the walls of the air handler closet.
A supervisor who understands the purpose of the chase should regularly check progress and follow the chase construction through to completion— that is, until the ducts are all installed, holes have been sealed, and the chase is ready for close-in.The chase is closed in as the house is drywalled.
After construction. Protect the finished chase from cable, phone, and other installers who may want to use it as a convenient place to run wires.The holes that typically result will compromise the air barrier. It is difficult at best to identify the chase as a space that must be kept separate from surrounding unconditioned spaces.We know of no consistently effective method of doing this.Communication is important.Advisory notices to cable, security, and phone installers should be posted in conspicuous locations, such as the panel box, attic access hatch, wiring service entrance, and so on. Since these notices cannot clearly identify the location of the air boundary in the attic, the notices should advise the installer to seal any penetrations to drywall made from unconditioned spaces. Though this should be standard practice and is often required by code, some services that are installed postoccupancy are never inspected.
Toward Better Design and Practices
The authors worked with four builders who adopted interior duct design for the health and energy benefits that it provides.We conducted a battery of airtightness tests at more than two dozen of these builders' homes. (For details and experimental results, see Field Study of Interior Duct System Design, Construction, and Performance.)
The experimental results show that chases were typically leaky, meaning that they were not isolated from unconditioned spaces. Despite the care taken to ensure that the ducts were in conditioned space, the integrity of the chase air barrier was often thwarted by a lack of communication among the many trades, and by the complexity of the chase construction.
We and our builder partners agree that it is easier to make an airtight duct system than it is to make an airtight chase, and that it would be a mistake to assume that tight duct systems are not needed when the ducts are placed in an interior chase. Leaky ducts placed in leaky chases will not provide the desired energy or health benefits. On the other hand, an airtight duct system in a leaky chase may provide some of the thermal benefits of interior ductwork without causing the energy, building durability, and health problems associated with leaking ductwork.
Our conversations with the builders made it apparent that the builder and the site supervisor must be committed to performing the duties that are required to place the ducts in the conditioned space.The framers and the drywall crew must do additional work to build the chase, which often requires additional job site visits.There can be added costs for materials, such as custom trusses for a fur-up installation, or additional framing and drywall, or a more expensive duct system made necessary by space limitations. Our field observations consistently revealed chases that had been compromised because subcontractors, not understanding the purpose of the chase, used them for wiring or plumbing runs.The site supervisor or the builder must constantly monitor the progress of the house to insure that the integrity of the chase is not compromised.
As builders continue experimenting with building interior duct systems, patterns of problems will develop and successful solutions will be found.Much like duct sealing a decade ago, this technique is still being perfected. Additional work is needed to refine a method of measuring duct leakage to the outside of interior duct systems.

London's Jellyfish Theatre Made From Pallets Opens Today!
The Jellyfish Theatre opens today with an eco-themed play called Oikos (pronounced "ee-kos", the Greek root for economy and ecology) by Simon Wu. The piece will be followed by Protozoa by Kay Adshead. Both plays deal with people rebuilding their lives after an environmental and political catastrophe, which goes along nicely with a building constructed out of found materials. The project is a bit of a warning against uncertain times and even an example of what we might have to resort to for future architecture.
Over 800 shipping pallets and 750 sq meters of plywood and other material were donated to construct the theatre. Old-school furniture serves as the seats inside the auditorium, and reused five-gallon water jugs are stacked together to form the wall of the lounge. Pallets, which came from the nearby Covent Gardent market, were stacked and hung vertically, while plywood covers the walls, roof and floors. Although the materials may have started out as junk, when you reuse them, they are no longer junk – they become useful building materials.

As a theatre person, what I most love about this is the total integration of the building with the plays. This could be the seed of a whole new idea of what \"eco-theater\" needs to be, a totally integrated \"eco-drama production process.\"
I also love that the theatre building looks more like back stage than stage. Fantastic. Inspiring.

Nicknamed the "Golden State," California is the third largest state in area after Alaska and Texas. The discovery of gold and the immigration in 1849 of thousands of "forty-niners" in search of the precious metal helped California's admission into the Union in 1850. Today, California, land of the giant redwoods, has the highest population of any state in the nation and is America's principal agricultural state. It is also the home of Hollywood, the center of America's movie and television industry. Its capital is Sacramento and the state flower is the golden poppy.

Gallery: LEED Platinum Boulder House First in US to Use German System
While a relatively new concept in the US, the German company Weberhaus has long been developing prefab house construction technology for 50 years. Designed by Studio H:T Architects the 2002 Alpine House in Boulder CO, is the first to use the state-of-the-art German system in the US. This new LEED Platinum home shows how high-scale design, sustainable principles and prefab can come together to create an attractive home. Additionally, some of the home's most impressive features include a super-low energy requirement, a 9kW solar array and a host of other low impact features able to assuage the environmentally aware, wealthy owners who were looking for the perfect $3.5 million pad built to last a hundred years.
The upscale residence is two stories of modular walls and ceilings, complete with windows doors, and electrical and plumbing set on an ICF base. Overall construction reported only 5% in waste materials, compared to the national average of 17%. The shell of the home has reduced the energy demand to 1/5th of the average home, but air quality is improved by low toxic material and fresh air exchange.
The 4,340 square feet interior has been equipped with a number of drool worthy gadgets, supreme finishes and a killer view of Boulder's iconic Flatiron Mountains. The space is heated with a high efficiency boiler, lit with LED lighting, and finished in Earth Clay plaster. Water is heated through a solar thermal system and reclaimed as grey water. Outdoor and indoor spaces blend together beautifully, and the overall effect is a clean, highly refined modernist feel with a naturalist bent.
You can also check out a short video showing how the home was constructed here.

Greetings Andrew & Fellow Inhabitatians!
Just a quick follow up from 2002 Alpine-
We appreciate and thank you for the attention- while we wait for confirmation of a Platinum rating, we thought some clarifications might be helpful –
– the home isn't just 18% more efficient using energy, but needs less than 18% of the normal energy – 28 feet below grade on the north side, the warm earth gives 2002 a passive warm thermal constancy;
– preconstruction waste of the home is only 0.7% – over 2,000% better than US norms, and projected deconstruction (if ever) of 2% is over 4,000% better.
All questions are welcome – get us at 2002Alpine.com and we'll happily get back to all promptly.
Yes – better Design WILL save the world!

Excelent ! Best Project!!
October 20, 2010 at 6:50 pm
I'm disappointed in inhabitat for praising a project solely on its environmental footprint. Yes, this house is a great example of forward thinking, reduction in construction waste, etc. But let me bring up a previous post that completely dismissed the $1 Billion dollar home in Mumbai. Mocked by your website as a huge waste of money, that project employed countless more people than this home in Boulder. Not to mention that the income of the person it was built for spent what would be the same as a person with $1 Million dollars on a $35,000 home. Yes, the environment needs to be considered, but contributing and employing countless numbers of middle class is truly more noble than building another home with one GC and a few sub contractors in Boulder, CO. At least the billionaire in Mumbai built his home in the throws of the city; vertically. He could have just as easily sprawled the same square footage on hundreds of acres of land.
