BuddhaSoup wrote:Isn't part of the issue, Lyndon, that there is no Dhamma authority for the requirement of vegetarianism? If we have confidence in the Buddha's teachings, we really shouldn't be having this kind of argument. It seems to me that the Buddha placed the importance of the symbiotic relationship between the monks and the lay supporters over a concern for consumption of animal meat. Once the monks begin to make demands for the kind of food that they are to be offered, this sacred bond of dana is broken. I feel the Buddha understood the nature of this. That's why vegetarians like myself can do their part to not be part of the animal food chain industry (it's a choice I make though I acknowledge the chain of commerce is completely not affected), but when I was a samanera in Thailand I ate everything that was put into my bowl, blazingly spicy meat curries included. The ethic of respecting that family's dana was more important to me than my food preferences. To offend a host or giver based on my personal practices would be perhaps highminded, but to me it would be placing my ego above the need for equanimity in the host/guest relationship, which would negatively affect the hosts view of me as a Buddhist. In other words, being a jerk about the food offered wins no points in favor of the practice or the Sangha.
Lyndon, your argument is logical and from a personal point of view authoritative, but it does not meet the test of what the Buddha would mandate of practitioners, especially those within the dana framework. As much as I love trees, the Vinaya (or tradition) as I recall, requires that robes be dyed with the wood of a jackfruit or similar tree. So, do I refuse to accept and wear a robe that was dyed with jackwood? So, I raise a toast to you with the veggie burger I cooked yesterday, but suggest that vegetarianism as a mandate is a hot button subject that does not resonate within the Dhamma, and thus is something best left as a private matter of choice.
lyndon taylor wrote:One of the problems here is a double standard applied to animals vs humans, not by the Buddha but by his followers, If you were to hire someone to kill a rival, we would consider you just as guilty as the one who actually did the killing, but for some strange very illogical reason, when we pay someone at the supermarket to kill animals for us to eat, "we're completely innocent" of any killing, complete rubbish, like I said you could never win debate with logic like that, it just doesn't make sense, If no one buys the meat, the animals don't get bred and killed, at least to the same extent, its simple supply and demand economics.
seeker242 wrote:Now the question arises: If one intentionally purchases meat at a market, when they could easily purchase something else with no negative consequences, is the meat still "pure in three respects"?
lyndon taylor wrote:That would seem to be the logical conclusion, but if there's one thing I've learned from the vehement meat eating buddhists, traditional logic doesn't enter into it!!
Some people just want to eat meat, and they don't really give a damn who has to die in the process.......
David N. Snyder wrote:The bottom line from an ahimsa view which all Dharmic religions aspire to, is that any diet choice is going to have some 'collateral' damage, even if you are vegan (the harvest damage to insects or small animals). So judging any diet as being particularly violent or unwholesome is not very helpful since all diets are somewhat violent. However, we could try to choose the least amount of violence, if we are able to. We should also realize that some people don't always have that luxury due to family, culture, or if they are a monastic.

|Transform cold, leftover mashed potatoes into a whole new side with these delicious potato croquettes.
Mashed Potato PattiesBetter known I guess as Mashed Potato Patties, but Tater Cakes sound so much more interesting, don't ya think? The basic seasoning for my potato patties are always garlic powder, onion powder, and of course, a little Slap Ya Mama, but honestly you can flavor these up just about anyway you like. You can also use a variety of coatings in combination with the flour - bread crumbs are standard, panko bread crumbs are superb, but crushed potato chips or tortilla chips work well, especially the flavored and spicy kinds of chips, heck you can even use crushed plain corn flakes! Use your imagination.
A great way to use leftover mashed potatoes, but these are especially good when you have leftover Mashed Potato Casserole because they are already seasoned and flavored up for ya and ready to go! I just love the contrast between the super creamy insides of these against the crunchy outside. So good!
Goes great as a side dish with simple roasted chicken or just plain, pan seared meats, but really anywhere you would normally serve potatoes. In other words, when you make mashed potatoes to go with that nice pot roast on Sunday, make enough that you have intentional leftovers because these are yummy!
If you think this sounds yummy, I'd sure ♥ it if you'd click to pin it, tweet it, stumble it, or share it on Facebook to help spread the word - thanks!

Recipe: Mashed Potato Patties©From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
Prep time: 10 min |Cook time: 15 min | Yield: About 12-24 patties, depending on size
- 1 cup of self rising flour
- 1 cup of dried or panko bread crumbs
- 1/2 teaspoon of Cajun seasoning (like Slap Ya Mama), or to taste
- 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons of butter, bacon fat or a combination of butter and oil
- 4 cups of prepared cold mashed potatoes
- 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon of of onion powder
- Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
- 1 large egg, beaten
Combine the flour, bread crumbs, Cajun seasoning and parsley flakes and set aside 1 cup of the mixture. Heat the fat in a non-stick skillet over medium high heat.
Meanwhile, combine the leftover cold mashed potatoes with the reserved cup of flour mixture and the garlic and onion powder. Add other favorite seasonings as desired. Taste, add salt and pepper if needed, taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add the egg and mix well. Scoop out potatoes and roll to form a tight ball. Flatten and shape into a patty. Spread the flour mixture on a plate and dredge the patties in the flour and bread crumb mixture until lightly coated. Carefully place patties into the hot oil and cook until nicely browned on both sides. Serve hot with a light drizzle of melted butter.
Cook's Notes: Number of patties will depend on the size you use. For small patties I use a cookie scoop, for larger, an ice cream scoop. Patties should hold together and not crumble. If you find they are falling apart, return to a bowl and add in more flour. You can also form these into 1-inch balls. Roll in bread crumbs and fry.
Variation: Add in a tablespoon or two of sour cream, some sliced green onion, grated cheddar cheese, and/or chopped, cooked bacon.

from R.C. Sproul Oct 04, 2009 Category: ArticlesWhen Christ purchased His bride, He bought a bride who was "damaged merchandise." His bride was sullied by manifest impurities. She was covered by spots and marred by wrinkles. Yet what He purchased He also sanctifies:
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.

I attended an historically Dispensational college where a giant Clarence Larkin Dispensational chart adorned one of the classrooms.

The Lifelong Pursuit of Godly Wisdom
from Burk Parsons Sep 30, 2009 Category: ArticlesThe Proverbs tell us "Blessed is the one who finds wisdom and the one who gets understanding" (Proverbs 3:13). The beginning of wisdom is fearing the Lord, the path of wisdom is worshiping the Lord, and the end of wisdom is falling down in the presence of the Lord before His face in glory. As we all have, I have met many men in my life from whom I have learned much. Keep Reading
Treasures on Earth
from John Piper Sep 29, 2009 Category: ArticlesThe inner essence of worship is treasuring Jesus as infinitely valuable above everything. The outer forms of worship are the acts that show how much we treasure God. Therefore, all of life is meant to be worship because God said whether you eat or drink or whatever you do--all of life--do it all to show how valuable the glory of God is to you (1 Cor. 10:31). Money and possessions are a big part of life, and therefore God intends them to be a big part of worship. So the way we worship with our money and our possessions is to get them and use them and lose them in a way that shows how much we treasure Jesus, not money. Keep Reading

The Gain of Godliness

My background consists of a blue-collar neighborhood and an inner-city high school in Southern California.

They lacked the simplicity of the virtuous poor, the salt of the earth, among whom I numbered myself. Keep Reading

Dr. Sproul read from Exodus 19, the preamble to the giving of the Decalogue.

He then read a portion of a message that a pastor might deliver at a funeral. A text that affirms not just the continuity of life, but the resurrection of the physical body. The Christian's view of death and resurrection ought to be a great apologetic in our day. There is a reason why graveyards used to be near churches. It makes sense.

"This card is absolutely adorable. Excellent quality. It's cute and has space for multiple photos. It has a very pleasing color combination with orange, yellow, brown, purple and black-- perfect for Halloween. What I really like is the sweet "halloween greetings" banner that is simple and straightforward and enhances, rather than detracts, from the photos. Those who received our card wanted to know where we found such an awesome design that doesn't feature the usual garish clip-art-ish rubbish found in most other halloween cards! A+."
"Very good quality. I opt for their shimmer paper whenever possible. It's a nice added touch . I put these in my child's baby book so I have some to remember too!"
"I love the spooky overlay on the picture. The card is so cute and not the typical Halloween card you get at your local photo store. Our friends and family thought it was beautiful."
"This is my son's first Halloween and I wanted something to commemorate it with and so that his grandparents and aunts could have a memory. This card was perfect! I'm even putting one in his scrapbook."
"Fun Halloween themed card. Layout allows for more of your original photo to show, love that! Orange glitter look on back is a cute touch. My family was thrilled to receive this card!"

BBD Editor: Dan Hope
Since the beginning of April, the Buffalo Bills have hosted 29 potential selections in this year's NFL draft on official visits with the team. It appears as though the team is not using its 30th allotted visit, as Sunday was the NFL's deadline for pre-draft visitors.
As the team had a finite limit of how many players it could bring to One Bills Drive, the visits list gives a telling indication of what the Bills could be looking for in this year's draft.
It gives us a better indication of which positions the Bills are looking to draft than it does which players they will actually select. While Buffalo only drafted two of its pre-draft visitors last year—Florida State quarterback EJ Manuel and Clemson safety Jonathan Meeks—its six picks in the first five rounds all came from positions at which the team hosted at least five prospects (quarterbacks, wide receiver, linebacker, safety).
With that in mind, we can get a good idea of what positions Buffalo is looking to upgrade in this year's draft, what type of players they are looking for at those positions, and more.

Jan, I just read that a noun should always follow the word, "This." If so, I've violated that rule, often...as in, "This seems very strange to me," or "This can't be true."

Federal prosecutors reported Wednesday that jurors convicted a former postal worker in Mechanicsville this week of making false statements to obtain federal disability benefits while she was operating a salon and fitness center.
Darlene M. Altvater, 48, was employed by the U.S. Postal Service as a rural carrier at the Mechanicsville Post Office, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office, until an on-the-job injury to her head and neck made her eligible in 2001 to begin receiving federal workers' compensation benefits.
Altvater continued to receive worker's compensation benefits based on her disability, including from January 2005 through December of last year while she was operating a salon, day spa and fitness center, first in Leonardtown and later in California, under the names LadySlender LLC, Creative Touch Salon and Spa, and California Fitness LLC, the prosecutors' office reported after the five-day trial.
Altvater filed forms with the postal service and the U.S. Department of Labor's Office of Workers' Compensation programs claiming that she was unable to work due to her disability, according to a release from the prosecutors' office, but trial "witnesses testified that Altvater reported to the salon on a regular basis, performing physical acts, including demonstrating the use of the fitness equipment, performing pedicures and giving massages."
Altvater faces a possible maximum sentence of five years in prison and a fine of $250,000 for each of the two counts of making false statements, the prosecutors' office reports, when she is sentenced next January.

Re: "Inception" released last month - good reviews
Saw it and didn't like it. The worst part was that all the "dreams" were nothing like dreams that I've experienced. All the so called "dreams" looked and felt exactly like what they were, just real life mixed with hollywood special fx. Maybe it's just me but my dreams are way way different and not even comparable to the movie. This movie just felt long, boring and overly complicated for no reason, plus the acting felt dry and boring. Got nothing out of it and started to yawn after a little while. Ultimately I think trying to make a movie that recreates "dreams" would be impossible.

Overview Reviews Details Accessories Staff Reviews Articles & Videos by Dave Bar Beef up the sound from your digital sources Streaming music wirelessly around the house is cool, but sometimes the low-fi audio components inside those wireless devices can leave your tunes sounding flat. Fortunately, there's help. If your devices have digital audio outputs, just plug them into the NuForce Dia. It bypasses those inferior electronics and handles the digital-to-analog processing instead. The Dia's high-quality DAC (digital-to-analog converter) and powerful, built-in amplifier will deliver impressive levels of realism and detail without the need for any additional receivers or peripherals. Build a system that's right for you With three digital inputs, speaker outputs, plus line-level out for a powered sub, the Dia can work in a number of different setups. For example, you can connect it to the optical digital output on almost any HDTV, satellite receiver, or set-top box, then add a pair of bookshelf speakers and a powered sub to create a space-saving 2.1 home theater system. Or, plug in your Apple TV® and enjoy high-quality music streaming from your Wi-Fi® connected computer or iPod. You can even use it to simply hook up a CD/DVD player and your favorite speakers for a sweet-sounding stereo system. The included wireless remote lets you adjust volume and switch sources from the comfort of your easy chair.

Your review should be posted within seven days. Poor reliability Written By SlopeD, California on Tuesday, November 11, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The negative review is due to the poor reliability of this product. My first DIA died in 9 months. The warranty replacement died in 6 months. NuForce refused to warranty the second unit because it was beyond a year from the original purchase. When working the DIA had adequate sound and functionality. You will have to press the volume up or down button on the remote about a million times to change the volume. Pros: Simple good sound Cons: reliability, speaker terminals, and cheap remote Was this review helpful? Yes No Big results in a little package Written By bjornmeansbear, Baltimore, MD on Saturday, August 31, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I've had this about a month and all I can say is that this little amp is AMAZING. Great onboard DAC (for the price), super-small footprint, and despite being only about 15W/channel it packs a lot of power. Since its got the DAC onboard, the signal coming in is nice and hot. Haven't tried the sub-out yet, but just hooked up to my Polk Audio TSi100's it is a great, clean sounding amp with great frequency coverage. Perfect for an office or small living room. I've got it hooked up to an airport express so I can air-play music to it from both my iPhone and computer, but would make a good stereo music listening station if hooked up to blueray or SACD player or the like - also, clean accurate sound for movies if you aren't interested in surround. Since it has 3 optical inputs you can actually hook up a lot to it despite it being so small. Lastly, I'm a graphic designer, and I appreciate the clean, modern look of the unit. Solid construction and great aesthetics. I'm extremely happy with this. Pros: Small Footprint, Clean & strong signal, super simple controls, aesthetically pleasing Cons: Only has optical inputs - this is only barely a con Was this review helpful? Yes No NuForce Written By Robert, Corpus Christi, TX on Wednesday, July 03, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Bought the unit on sale - a good start. After letting it sit for 30 minutes (per NuForce), I set this up and connected to a Blu-Ray in the bedroom. It provides a good amount of sound for it's size. I had a pair of Energy bookshelf speakers I wasn't using.The finish - in this case, red - is clean. I would recommend it anyone looking for a small amp for an office or bedroom. Pros: Size and finish. Decent power. Cons: None I've encountered. Was this review helpful? Yes No Just What I Needed Written By DaneJ, Virginia Beach, VA on Tuesday, May 28, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Why more outfits don't make something like this is beyond me. Perfect for what I needed, which was making my TV sound better without a bunch of stuff I don't need. Optical input from a TV on the boat to this unit, couple with a couple of new Infinity speakers and a powered sub. Pros: Small size. Just the features I need. Cons: Must turn on unit separately from TV. Cannot remember volume level. Was this review helpful? Yes No NuForce Dia Written By Arlo, San Francisco, CA on Sunday, March 17, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great sound, easy to hook up. My only issue is the interface for switching to only headphones- I'd much rather there be a single button or switch; instead you have to use the remote, hold 'input' and hit 'power', then cycle through the inputs twice to get back to what you were on before. I know this unit isn't advertised as a headphone amp but sometimes I need to toggle over, and I wish this was easier. Pros: Sound, small size, clean design, input options. Cons: Annoying procedure to switch to headphone-only output. Was this review helpful? Yes No "The Force" Written By Rich, Ewa Beach, HI on Friday, February 08, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Easy to set up, small and unobtrusive yet big sound. Remote works great from long distances too! Well done NuForce! Pros: Small, lightweight, easy to use remote, easy to set up. Cons: None for my needs. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Home Audio Written By lonnieh58, Ponca City, OK on Sunday, January 20, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Perfect for my setup, sounds great! paired with a set of Polk Audio R150's and a Polk Audio PSW110 subwoofer. crystal clear, totally satisfied. Pros: Perfect! Cons: None 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Great partner for Apple TV Written By Brian, Seattle, WA on Thursday, January 03, 2013 I am using this amplifier fed by the optical SPDIF outputs of an Apple TV and a VIZIO television to drive a Cambridge Minx 2.1 speaker system. It was simple to setup and works perfectly for my relatively small space (300-400 sq ft apartment living/dining area). There is plenty of clean power on tap to drive a system like this - the self-powered subwoofer is fed from the 1/8" line out on the front of the Dia. I am confident it would also be enough power for a set of small full-range bookshelf speakers. The Dia switches seamlessly between the digital sources with no glitches or pops, the tiny remote is easy to use and works great. Thanks to NuForce for recognizing the need for this excellent product and making it! Pros: Small sleek design, perfect feature set, quality construction and great sound Cons: nope 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Incredible Written By PeteFitz, Baltimore, MD on Monday, October 15, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Wow. Before I got a chance to hear this thing in action, I thought I may have overdone it by spending this much on such a component, thinking I would only need to buy better speakers to put it to use. No dice! I had no idea my Klipsch bookshelf speakers could sound so splendid. Splendid. For the first hour or so of listening, I had a Klipsch Promedia powered subwoofer connected to the line out on the front but soon realized that was completely unnecessary. The Dia makes a bass drum sound like a bass drum, even at the lowest volumes, and it sounds much more pleasant than the sound of a subwoofer trying to sound like a bass drum. I've caught the audiophile bug but don't quite have a gajillion dollars for vacuum tubes and the like so this has proven to be a great buy. Pros: Pulls out the detailed sounds at all freqs. and rendered my subwoofer unnecessary. Solid, sturdy build. Cons: Nada. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Perfect! Written By rww, Los Angeles, CA on Monday, August 20, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Just put the finishing touch on my modest media center in my new apartment: the NuFore Dia. I have it powering an older set of Definitive ProCinema speakers and a Definitive Sub through the Dia's line out -- I haven't heard sound this good out of these puppies in a while! Simple idea: for the user who has the latest tech stuff (ie, apple TV, blu ray, cable, pumped through LCD tv), and not the biggest space to enjoy it with, to get great sound from their digital content. The NuForce is perfect for this. Don't let the 'low' wattage on this amp fool you -- it gets LOUD. And clean. Simplicity at its best. Simply put, if you know you need good stereo sound, and don't want the size and extraneous speaker outs (and probable lower quality amplification) of the X.1 monster home theater receiver, this is your buy! Pros: small footprint, simple set up and operation, amazing sound quality, great design Cons: uses own remote, but it's so simple that i can't fault it. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Product reviews from the Crutchfield Labs Refreshingly simple, and great at what it does Written by Zak Billmeier, Staff Writer - Creative, on 9/4/2013 11:02:00 AM I've always preferred single-use devices over the "Swiss army knife" approach — my feeling is that if a tool is meant for one purpose, it'll do it better than it would if it has to perform several different tasks. The NuForce Dia is one such device. I have the Dia running my TV sound with a pair of Audioengine P4 bookshelf speakers. Those are 4-ohm speakers, and the Dia pumps 24 watts RMS through them. Doesn't sound like much, but in my 12x16' room I don't think I've turned up the amp past halfway while watching anything. I sit about 8 feet from my TV and I can hear everything loud & clear. The Dia is plenty loud enough through the P4 speakers. When I first got it, I played some music through my Google TV and cranked it as loud as I could stand. Not only did I hear zero distortion, but I had the amp on (maybe) 2/3 power and it was louder than I'll ever use it. That tells me NuForce isn't fudging that spec to sound impressive. Again, it's plenty loud for my living room. The other thing that attracted me to the Dia was its built-in DAC. I noticed its effect right away when watching "Arrested Development" on Netflix — I heard some percussive details in the theme song I hadn't heard before. Thanks to the DAC, bass response has improved. I wouldn't say the bass is all that much louder, but the quality of it is so much better. I will add a powered sub to my configuration in the near future, and I can't wait to hear it now that the Dia is giving it such nice definition. Movie and TV speech is clean and clear, and soundtracks really come to life. The benefit to having the DAC built in is subtle, but very nice. One thing to note: the 1/8" jack on the front is not a headphone jack, but an output for a powered sub. So this isn't the answer to your headphone amp needs. But it's great at amplifying — and improving — any signal you throw at it. Throw in the fact that the Dia takes up so little space, and it's a huge winner in my book. What are the Labs?

Manufacturers Slash Marketing Budgets, But Specifics Vary
12:40 PM MDT | May 5, 2009 | Vincent Valk
A number of leading chemical companies are making cuts in marketing capabilities, an industry source told CW. Such cuts are generally in line with industry-wide reductions, and company spokespeople note that marketing is not being specifically targeted. However, marketing staffs are often small, so a minor cut can have a disproportionate impact, says Phil Allen, president of GEMS Europe, a marketing services company. "I've heard that companies are cutting marketing more [than other business segments]," he adds. Some companies have acknowledged a...

Coffee Cake:
3/4 cup
butter, room temperature
1 1/2 cups
white sugar
1 teaspoon
vanilla extract
1 cup
sour cream
2 1/2 cups
all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon
baking soda
1 teaspoon
baking powder
1/2 cup
chopped walnuts
1 tablespoon
ground cinnamon
1/4 cup
white sugar
Very nice cake. Excellent crumb,texture and taste. Cream butter and sugar first, add eggs one at a time, then vanilla. Add sour cream and flour mixture alternately, beginning and ending with flour. To avoid a crusty, over-baked exterior bake at standard 350 degrees. Also, for a moist cake, do not overbake! This cake is very similar to one made with a yellow cake mix, but a much tastier choice. I omitted the nuts and used brown sugar for the filling--no need at all to double filling ingredients--then drizzled with a powdered sugar glaze when cool. Excellent recipe!
The cake tastes wonderful - the method of combining the eggs with the sugar and then adding the sour cream and butter is weird. If you add the vanilla at the same time you add the butter, you get a more intense vanilla flavor. I also added about a 1 teaspoon more cinnamon and added the nuts to the cinnamon sugar mixture rather than have them throughout the whole cake. Definitely make it again but will use the standard mixing method - cream butter and sugars, add sour cream and eggs, etc. Also I didn't use the 400 degree temp - just the 350 and baked it until it was done.

I read the other reviews and made some modifications when I made the cake. I coated the Bundt pan with cinnamon & sugar, used brown sugar instead of white for the filling, omitted the nuts and added a little extra sour cream (light) to the batter. Results were great!! We took it to a friend's house and I got a desperate e-mail two days later that the cake was finished and they needed the recipe ASAP.
This has been a big hit, very good but not too sweet. The first time I tried this recipe the sour cream and butter were quite lumpy so I started over. I now cream the sugar and butter before adding the eggs and sour cream. I also substituted pecans instead of walnuts. Do grease your pan well!
This recipie was very good. I would suggest using an icing to drizzle over the top. The icing i used was: 1c. powdered sugar, 2tablespoons milk, and 1teaspon of vanilla extract.
Wonderful & moist. We loved it. I made a couple of changes - I did not have sour cream, so I used one cup milk & one TBLS vinegar, mix & let sit for 5 minutes (got this from King Arthur). Also, at the suggestion of another reviewer I used 2 TBLS cinnamon. This is probably the best coffee cake I've made & it looks nice, too!! :)
There are not enough stars to give this recipe it's just desserts! It has set the standard by which all cakes are judged in my house. Easy as can be, comes out perfect every time. My only modification is I double the amount of swirl mixture and divide the cake batter into three so I can layer the swirl. When cut the inside has 2 stripes of swirl and some on top! Fabulous Recipe, I make it often.
This was good, but made a cake that only about half filled our bundt pan. I recommend the "Streusel Coffee Cake" recipe submitted by Mary instead. It's a very similar cake, but bigger and moister.

Vancouver Convention Center Expands on Green
There are numerous approaches to making greener buildings- from the inside out, from the ground up, density through urban infill, integrating into the landscape, to name a few… but when an existing 133,000 sq. ft. building aims to expand to 500,000 sq. ft., covering a frightening 6 acres- you have to think BIG. That is the vision of the Vancouver Convention & Exhibition Center (VCEC), as it triples in size in time to accommodate the 2010 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games.
The building first served as the Canadian Pavilion for the World's Fair Expo in 1986 and has functioned as a popular and often overbooked convention center during the past 20 years. The original building optimized the waterfront location with its signature five-flags seafront landmark and an innovative seawater heating and cooling system. The addition literally expands on the waterfront with 40% of the new building structure built over water and 60% on land.
While the Conference Center's expansive scale has a major impact on its local environment, the project presents large opportunities to optimize building performance and leverage economies of scale. The entire 6-acre addition will be covered in a 'living roof' that will support 400,000 plants of indigenous varieties. A rain catchment system will irrigate the vegetation during much of the year, while grey and black water recycling systems will generate much of the centers' own water supply. Underwater, the concrete foundation has been stepped to encourage fish habitat to return to the area, and an updated seawater heating and cooling system, similar to the original building's mechanical systems, will pump seawater over a heat exchanger to control indoor temperatures.
Though the project is slated to 'qualify' for a LEED Certification of Gold level, it is not indicated whether or not the project has actually registered. Without a third party verification of construction methods and energy management, it is unclear how sustainable the project will actually be. The VCEC expansion is estimated to take at least 4000 truckloads of concrete, 25 kilometers of steel pipe, and 1.5 hectares of glass. It's impossible to know how much fly ash, if any, might be used in place of cement, for example, in all that concrete if no one is keeping track.
The Center has maintained environmentally responsible operations and management, using locally grown and organic produce, donating surplus food to local charities, and recycling 50% of its waste. One would hope the expansion will be built with the sustainable building practices it implies, and that its intentions won't be compromized during the construction process. This Inhabitat writer has yet to inhabit a convention center that does NOT have walls clad with vinyl covering.

Opening day for the Vancouver Convention and Exhibition Centre.
Googled images on the the thing, and this web site popped up. Kudos.
The building has cost a lot of money, but it will be well used. It\'s an economic feature of the city, and not really a practical environmental factor. However, the VCEC\'s ergonomics will stick out and get noticed and discussed. The project does demonstrate how much we humans have adapted away from nature and are now trying to return. We have over-organized our ability to walk barefoot.

Looks like an excellent proposition given that hosting the Olympics can be a devastating venture to the city's environment, both pre- and post-event. I agree with the writer that actually certifying LEED is a big difference from just "qualifying". Here's hoping they go the full measure, all the way around! After all, what better for an Olympic venue than Gold?

Looks a lot like the green convention center built in Pittsburgh, PA!
