Creating Green Communities
Through its careful inspection process, energy efficiency and green building techniques, and development of communities, EarthCraft House is showing the greater Atlanta area that green building can go mainstream.
There's a quiet revolution happening in the Atlanta home-building industry that's having an impact on housing in every price range. This revolution is also beginning to affect the way entire communities are developed.
In 1999 a fledgling voluntary green building program managed to certify eight homes in the Atlanta area. Just six years later, the EarthCraft House program is booming, with to date more than 2,500 homes certified and more than 1,000 homes lined up to be certified this year alone. The key to this phenomenal growth has been the partnerships forged by the original sponsors, the Greater Atlanta Home Builders Association and Southface Energy Institute, an Atlanta-based nonprofit organization dedicated to environmentally friendly building. Alliances with builders, local governments, the DOE Building America program, and leading building product manufacturers and retailers have propelled the EarthCraft House program to its current center stage position in the Atlanta region.
"Southface has done incredible work," says Jim Hackler, the U.S. Green Building Council's (USGBC's) Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) for Homes program manager, in explaining the program's success."They work hard at trying to understand the market and make [green building techniques] accessible and understandable—and they provide a great deal of field support." Southface Executive Director Dennis Creech emphasizes the importance of creating a program that works for all of the interested parties. "It is essential to make green building profitable to the builder and valuable to the home buyer. EarthCraft House helps builders reduce waste, improve quality, and gain market share. Home buyers save money and time on maintenance, cut energy and water bills, and benefit from a healthier, more comfortable home."
Green Inspections
Builders who sign on for the certification process get a thorough grounding in green building principles; to some extent, so do their crews. EarthCraft House builders participate in a training workshop and one-on-one design review with the Southface staff before construction begins. Later, an Earth- Craft House inspector performs a predrywall inspection, often giving him or her an opportunity to interact with trades people on the job, providing continuing hands-on education. The final inspection verifies the items the builder selected to qualify for the EarthCraft House designation, and a blower door test and a duct leakage test are performed to verify the home's energy efficiency before it can be certified.
EarthCraft House technical staff members are available to perform walkthroughs on homes at any stage of construction, as well as train builders, superintendents, quality managers, or subcontractors at any point along the way.
EarthCraft House began as a singlefamily, new-construction program, but its success inspired the creation of a renovation program as well as a multifamily homes for affordable living program. Recently, the land development community partnered with EarthCraft House to further expand the criteria and create an EarthCraft Communities program. Guidelines are provided for site development issues such as greenspace preservation, storm water management, pedestrian-oriented design,and community connectivity.
In a 2004–2005 pilot phase, five private developers, representing a variety of site and development models, launched the EarthCraft Communities program (see "Tracking Performance in EarthCraft Communities"). Several of these developments will be on tour during the Greenbuild Conference of the USGBC this November in Atlanta, Georgia.
EarthCraft Communities
One of the communities included on the USGBC Greenbuild tour is Glenwood Park.This 28-acre site has been transformed from a blighted industrial eyesore to a meticulously planned urban development that will provide EarthCraft House-certified single family homes, town houses, and flats to over 365 households—all with incredible skyline views and the convenience of city living.
Awarded EarthCraft Community Development of the Year for 2005, Glenwood Park was recognized for its "progressive site design, involving residents in community life, connecting the development to transportation and business districts, and revitalizing a blighted area—not to mention all the high-performance homes," according to EarthCraft House Development Director Dianne Butler (see "Keeping Glenwood Park Green" ).
Just two miles from the heart of downtown Atlanta, residents can picnic on the lushly landscaped green near the cascading waterfall of an urban lake. The lake is actually part of the storm water reclamation system that promises to save about 35,000 gallons of water each week for irrigation of Glenwood Park's drought resistant landscape. Nearly 1,000 shade trees were planted early in the development process to add beauty and reduce the heat island effect. Retail establishments, with living spaces above, will provide residents places to dine, shop, and play without ever having to step into a car. Situated just a mile from the MARTA train station, and located directly on a bus route, Glenwood Park is 15 minutes from Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport.
The location is purely prime real estate—but that wasn't always the case. "The site was a former industrial building supply yard, and technically a brownfield," says Walter Brown, vice president of Green Street Properties. He and Charles Brewer, the company's president, had a vision—and the desire to build something extraordinary that would promote and inspire more urban environmental reclamation.
In the course of construction, Green Street recycled 60,000 cubic yards of concrete. They also recycled granite rubble block—800,000 lb of it—enough to build all the walls in the community's central park. They recycled 1/4 million lb of metal, and sent 30 million lb of wood chips that had been buried on the site to a waste-to-energy plant,where they produced enough electrical energy (assuming a 33% transmission loss factor) to power 1,355 average-size homes for an entire year, according to Brown.
Glenwood Park is also the home of the 2005 Southern Living Magazine Idea House, featuring the extensive use of innovative earth-friendly materials and methods in its construction. Additionally, the Idea House was included in the DOE Building America program in partnership with Integrated Building and Construction Solutions (IBACOS) and Southface. (See "Idea House Full of Great Notions," p. 28.)
Anotherfeatured EarthCraftCommunity is Vickery. This Hedgewood Properties development takes the concept of an urban oasisandtransplants it25milesnorth ofAtlanta."It's something completely different and refreshing—from the streetscapes to the way we build these homes—compared to a typical suburban neighborhood," says Pam Sessions, coowner of Hedgewood Properties.
Implementing this vision was challenging and required repeated interaction and site visits with code officials to obtain a variance for street width within the development. One-way streets are 10-ft widths and two-way streets with parking on one side are 20-ft widths. This strategy serves both to calm traffic and to reduce impervious surface in the development.
Vickery's 3-acre park and greenspace is the result of another innovative environmental strategy. Using an underground oil-grit separator to protect a nearby stream from runoff, Hedgewood was able to avoid the need for a retention pond—often an eyesore and maintenance expense to a community. The area saved from a retention pond is equal to the area preserved for the park and greenspace. An outdoor fire pit in the park serves as a gathering place where young and old enjoy weekend community and conversation.
Vickery will have 125 town houses, lofts, and live-work homes as well as 431 single-family homes at build out. Of the total 214 acres, 75 have been preserved as greenspace and parks. A 150,000 ft2 retail and office area will provide shopping opportunities close to home. Hedgewood has also incorporated green building certification into the commercial development of the project.The 50,000 ft2 YMCA will be a community gathering place and is pursuing LEED certification.
Vickery demonstrates through its vertical development strategies and mixed-use approach that a high-performance suburban project can have a great impact on the lifestyle of its communities. Residents have embraced the concept and have taken the opportunity to leave cars behind for activities that no longer require transportation.
The EarthCraft Communities program helps developers adopt practical land use principles. By requiring green building certification, EarthCraft Communities also helps reduce the environmental impact of homes.According to Pam Sessions, "We've been building 100% EarthCraft House homes since January 2000.When you find a way of doing something that's better for the customer and better for the environment, it's a good business decision." As participants in the EarthCraft House pilot program in 1999, Hedgewood tracked results and tested the market before making the commitment to build only EarthCraft House homes.
Energy Innovations and EarthCraft Communities
In a smaller development a few miles away, Hedgewood has created another green community.Westbrook, a 150- home swim-tennis subdivision, reinvents traditional suburban development where large lots, expansive turf areas, and cul-de-sac streets discourage neighborhood connectivity.Westbrook clustered the homes to create a village feel that encourages walking, and preserved enough greenspace to create seven wooded parks and passive recreation areas. Each home emphasizes outdoorliving areas ranging from Southern-style porches to private courtyards.
The model home for Westbrook is very unique for a suburban community. In addition to over 50 energy and environmental technologies, the Westbrook model home has a 2 kW PV solar-electric system. This cuts energy costs over 40% and was a demonstration in the DOE's Building America program, representing a collaboration among IBACOS, Southface, and Hedgewood. A full case study of the home is available at www.southface.org.
PV alone won't contribute significantly to a home's energy needs if the house is an energy hog.That's why the Westbrook homes, like all EarthCraft Community homes, are highly energy efficient. "One of the things we use on the roof is Tech Shield, which is a radiant barrier. It's plywood with foil on the underside, toward the attic," says Larry Gunner, project manager for Hedgewood Properties at Westbrook."This keeps the attic about 20ºF cooler than conventional plywood.The cost is about $2 more per sheet, which adds up to $200–$300 more per house."
The houses are also super sealed, through the use of Sole Sil foam strips. "We use Sole Sil foam strips under the bottom plate, either against the slab or subfloor, which keeps out all the air, bugs, and rodents," says Gunner. "We seal all the openings—every wire hole, HVAC opening, and plumbing penetration— after the house is framed and the mechanical systems are in.Then we wrap everything with house wrap and all windows are foamed." Gunner says that they also build an insulated box that fits down over the attic stairs, which is hinged on one side to allow it to be easily moved aside for attic access.
Organic Gardening at Clark's Grove
Clark's Grove is an EarthCraft Community that features an organic neighborhood garden where neither pesticides nor synthetic fertilizers are used. Families in this community— almost 300 of them at build out—can tend their own garden plots for growing flowers or vegetables. Randy Vinson, town planner and project manager for Clark's Grove, a development by Clark's Grove, LLC, says many earthfriendly procedures were followed during initial development. "We brought in a portable saw mill and milled the timber for our community pavilion, garden shed, and pool house with trees we had to cut down. Some of the smaller trees were ground into mulch and used for storm water management," he says. The granite they had to blast away to make room for the sewer lines was recycled to build retaining walls. The remainder was crushed and used for riprap and road base."We also practiced balanced grading, so we didn't have to haul dirt off site, or bring dirt in," says Vinson. One of the more innovative moves was to install a pair of 3,000-gallon tanks under the pool deck to catch storm water runoff. The recycled rainwater is used to irrigate the community's ball field.
Residents benefit from the proximity to downtown Covington, according to Thomas Melton, Richport Properties' vice president of home building and sales. "It's kind of nostalgic, and not far at all from downtown Covington's streets—it has an oldtown feel to it."
Keeping EarthCraft Affordable
Before the launch of the EarthCraft House program, a team of pioneering design and development professionals created one of the first green cohousing projects in the Southeast—East Lake Commons. Their vision was rewarded with the World Habitat Award in 2000. This 67-unit town house community sits on 12 acres located just four miles from the skyscrapers of downtown Atlanta. Over 60% of the site was preserved as greenspace, including wooded areas, a village green, a pond, and a working organic farm.The site plan emphasizes storm water filtration and retention, barrier- free visit-ability to all homes, a pedestrian layout, and making the entire development accessible by wheelchair.
In 1997, buyers of the town houses began working with the nonprofit East Lake Commons development group and Southface to select energy and environmental features. Many of today's commonplace technologies such as low-e windows and high efficiency equipment commanded a premium price. Numerous homeowners included green technologies, such as advanced air sealing, cellulose wall insulation, and geothermal heat pumps.
EarthCraft House is also hard at work on another multifamily development— Magnolia Circle—in partnership with two nonprofit affordable housing developers, the Initiative for Affordable Housing, Incorporated, and Cooperative Resource Center. Magnolia Circle provides affordable rental housing to 84 seniors with fixed incomes and was the first Energy Star multifamily and green project in the Southeast.The project has also served as a model for the state of Georgia in its efforts to adopt energy and green building standards for its Low Income Housing Tax Credit program.Thanks to Magnolia Circle, over half of all 2005 tax credit applications included energy efficiency and green building measures.
Magnolia Circle emphasized simple measures to qualify for EarthCraft House certification, but these measures make a big difference in quality of life for the residents, according to Lisa Wise, executive director of the Initiative for Affordable Housing."The payoff for our tenants is that it's good for the environment— but from a practical standpoint, these homes have the same comfort features a $700,000 house might have."
One important factor in choosing EarthCraft House for this project was the freedom it offered residents. "There are all kinds of reasons to do green building, but one is that tenants are able to make more choices about their discretionary income," said Wise. "Your money is not all going just into your house." Another important factor was that green building makes the world a healthier and more humane place. Seniors and children are the most vulnerable to health problems from poor indoor air quality.
Magnolia Circle included the following green features:
• The multifamily development was the first project in Georgia to receive certification as a wildlife habitat from the National Wildlife Federation— achieved through undisturbed site area, planting specific species of plants, and installing over 30 birdhouses on the site.
• Densely packed cellulose insulation in party-walls between housing units saved 30% on construction costs while meeting the U370 fire rating standard and enhancing energy performance.
• The project incorporated an oil-grit separator that removes over 90% of pollutants before storm water exits the property. Stream quality improved as a result of the project.
• The development supplemented access to walking-distance amenities such as a grocery store, restaurants, banking and other uses with on-site access to Atlanta's public transit system.
• The project targeted high performance energy efficiency and indoor air quality and used Energy Star and EarthCraft House certification to help quantify improvement and select specific measures.
Building for Health, Efficiency, and the Future
When the EarthCraft House program began, just six years ago, its goal was to promote sustainable homes in the Atlanta area. Since then, the program has expanded to neighboring communities and will soon be traveling to other states as well (see "Three Green Building Programs," HE Nov/Dec '04, p. 32). The key to the program's success has been forging relationships with builders while creating partnerships to bring environmentally sustainable building practices into the mainstream.Along the way, Earth- Craft House has also discovered that their homes have inspired builders and residents to think about their health, and the health of their community.As Lisa Wise sums up, "If you live in a healthier home, it contributes to a healthier you—and that makes for a better world. It just becomes part of how you're living your life."

Comments On Nov 30, 2010:When this arrived in the mail, I shook my head at first. But after I went to work on the first tire, this lightweight bead breaker got the job done. It helped to spray down the bead with WD-40, it seemed to help the bead break and it went smoothly after that.

Comments On Jul 26, 2010:I just changed my OEM tires with the help of this bead popper. It is a little labor intensive. One pass wasn't enough on either the right or left side of the rim. You'll have to be patient and work the bead off the wheel / rim. I found that after about three passes on both sides the beads came off very easily. I recommend the usage of a mallet. This bead popper is strong but using a hammer could very easily break it, your hand, or damage your wheel / rim. Mallets are much more forgiving should you miss the bead popper. I hit my hand twice (ouch). It would have been much worse if I were using a hammer.

You can skip the first set without regret, but if you fall in the middle of the TMBG/Ween/Phish fandom Venn diagram, Set II is pure uncut musical cocaine. This one's in line with later experiments like 5/7/94 II (the essential Bomb Factory Tweezerfest), though the breadth-to-depth ratio is at the high end here, so caveat emptor. It's an official release, but high-quality SBD recordings have circulated for 16 years and should still be readily available.

You can skip the first set without regret, but if you fall in the middle of the TMBG/Ween/Phish fandom Venn diagram, Set II is pure uncut musical cocaine. This one's in line with later experiments like 5/7/94 II (the essential Bomb Factory Tweezerfest), though the breadth-to-depth ratio is at the high end here, so caveat emptor. It's an official release, but high-quality SBD recordings have circulated for 16 years and should still be readily available.
No review can do justice to this experience, but I'll try. It was my 22nd birthday, and the night of the first Phish.Net gathering, so the atmosphere for me was particularly giddy. But anyone there at the time would have been thrown by the relentless spontaneity.
The second set of this show is routinely listed among "must have"
recordings. There was magic in the air starting with the first set the previous night. But mere minutes into this set, it was clear that things were going a step higher. It is perhaps the most debated of Phish setlists, with so many overlays and reprises that any two fans probably list it differently. For its time, the twists and turns were religious. A cadre of diehards, front and center, scrambled with pens and scratched their heads trying to keep track of the setlist. One Matt Laurence ultimately gave a blank stare and tossed his paper into the air.
The show so stood out from others of its time that its popularity inflated its status for many years to follow. (The availability of high-quality soundboards furthered both the popularity and the status.) In retrospect, the improvisation was relatively tame, and the energy (as conveyed on tape) was higher at other shows of the same era.
Granted, many aspects of Phish shows (and life generally) are impossible to record. But the site of Fishman naked, or the band exploding a drumkit, are imaginable. For anyone who has seen Phish in recent years, the mystique of restless song shifts is probably more confounding than compelling. But for anyone who was there that night, or who saw shows or has heard tapes from that era, the flow is laudable. It wasn't the best Phish show ever, but itwas one of the best ones to experience - a beautiful buzz.
anyway, the first set here is very well-played, but it is nothing out of the ordinary for 1993. weigh and sloth are nice treats. foam is very sharp, and trey is right on in possum, fluff head, and the divided sky. the real fireworks start in the first set. this is a particularly strange version of wilson. after a some what disjointed/hard rock type jam they dive into reba. this is a really nice exploratory reba, but it is merely a precursor to the mayhem to come. this tweezer is not the longest in the world, but it sure does rock. fishman is really funky. it also includes a nifty little "straight from the sewer rap." this quick, focused jam quickly turns into walk away. after page belts out a killer walk away, they drive right back into tweezer. this is my favorite glide. they dip some major tweezer teases all over this one. then they cranked up the mother of all wild mike's songs. i love the tweezer bass line in the intro to this mike's. most of the phish songs teased in here are listed above, but they way they weave it all together is genious. finally, they give you a nice breathe of fresh air with a hydrogen>vibration>kung>hydrogen run. this finally builds up to a killer weekapaugh that dives through have mercy and rock and roll all night before dipping into fefy. this song usually doesnt do it for me, but it fits really well after all that mayham. the rest of this set is pretty standard fare. the hood is good, but compared to what they had already played in this set...
great show. if you don't have it or have not heard it, you have no idea how good phish really is.
Golgi, Foam and Sloth are well played. Possum is a wank fest and has a little feedback towards the end while the sound gets settled in. Weigh had great energy tonight, right into a well played ATR. Divided had some more feedback and a few tentative spots in the ending jam. Multiple thank you's followed. The Horse was ok with minimal feedback. Silent still has its troubles getting Fishman in on the right beat. Fluff was much better than the last one I heard, still a few spots here and there. Cavern makes for a good closer for a solid first set.
Wilson is spirited and starts the real foolishness of the night. Mike seems to miss a spot in the middle. Maybe this sets off the teases? The first three minutes of Reba are good, and then some rough parts, a reasonably well played middle, a rocking solo section and an inexplicable ending. Weird, at best. Tweezer is sloppy, but funky, and really starts the song sandwich out. Walk Away was well played. Glide was strange, but ok. Mike's is really sloppy, all the while making fun of Mike that it's his song. Blah, blah, blah...tease, tease, tease... Kung is well done! Trey is out of tune for Hydrogen. Weekapaug is another mess. Huge bust out with Have Mercy. FEFY was pretty well played after all that madness. The balls come out. Terrapin is long and its funny that Page teases HYHU to get him moving. Hood is pretty good, although Trey still seems to be out of tune, maybe because his guitar got cold while he was on drums? Tweeprise is expected as this circus comes to a close for the night.
Monkey is another mini bust out and has a few rusty spots in it. Otherwise, its a great way to send everyone home for the evening.
You can't stop the energy of this show, but having said that, it is a really sloppy second set. Some good moments, and some not so good to my ears. I was very tempted to give this three stars for all the screwing around. I'm sure if I was there, I would have nothing but fond memories.
That said, the stuff that works absolutely and totally *works*; I mean, this show has not had its reputation for over 20 years if it didn't. The Tweezer is one of my personal favorites, with its weird Das EFX quotes (funny how much more organic it sounded here than a similar rap venture 11 years later...) and brilliant Low Rider/Walk Away jam; Glide is a legitimate treat, and so packed with energy; the Weekapaug itself is a great one, as Have Mercy is a treat no matter what the circumstances and the Rock & Roll All Night jam is hilarious; HYHU gives us one of the truly rare segues *into* Hood, which is indeed as lovely and superbly peaked as its reputation. Ultimately, the weak spots pale in comparison to how much fantastic music is in this second set, a strong contender for the best set they had played up to that point in time. The first set...well, maybe you'll play it more than I have.
So yes, hypothetical Phish fan that I made up at the start of this review, you may be put off by how different the jamming style is, or how many damn teases pop up in the set, or Reba showing up in the second set, or how they just *rip* through songs throughout the show. But you will also be drawn in by the sheer atomic energy of the playing throughout, by how well they tie in some of those segues (seriously, everything in that Tweezer is perfect), and the overall experience of the whole set from top to bottom. And hey - maybe you'll want to give '93 a deeper listen. That's worth listening to this show all by itself.
Set 2 is truly bizarre. It starts out strong: Wilson is infused with extra enthusiasm (Trey SCREAMS some of the lyrics), and there is a great sequence of psychedelic silliness before the BLAT BOOM. I like the transition into Reba, and the Reba solo is one of my favorites for the pliable interplay between band members. Tweezer -> Walk Away -> Tweezer is also quite memorable: while the transitions are good, more than anything it won't be easy to forget the atypical straight from the sewer rap. The ensuing Tweezer-infused Glide works well as one of those early-'90s woah, are they really... really? moments.
At this point in the show, it's clear that the band is in an especially playful mood... Still, it would be hard to predict what comes next. I must say that I really don't like the Mike's Song segue-fest. The Vibration Of Life / Kung / N2O mishmash is pretty cool (the audience sounds eerily silent during the STAND UP! segment). However, the majority of the Mike's Groove (up to FEFY) is a derailed train that the band mercilessly drives deep into the ground. Many of you will disagree with me or present reasons that this sequence is great despite the sloppiness (or perhaps FOR the sloppiness), which is fine. It just doesn't do it for me. To my ears, Mike and especially Page have a very hard time following Trey's sharp and discordant changes. I'm glad that the band got this out of their system early on.
Every serious fan ought to listen to this show, if only because the first half of the second set is quite strong, and the Mike's Groove exemplifies a kind of outlandish abandon that is rare for this band. You might like it... apparently a lot of people do.
Again. Legendary but go old school and just get a bootleg of the second set. Save your money for food.

Vascular Disease
It Can Happen in Almost Any Part of the Body
Did you or
someone you
know ever use
the terms "heart
attack" and
"stroke" interchangeably?
fact, they are
not the same.
But they do
have a lot in
common. This
is because the
same process
that causes
heart attacks
can also affect the brain and other parts of the body such as
the kidneys, arms and legs.
The process consists of blockages in arteries that carry
fresh blood to the brain, heart or other muscle. When a
vessel is blocked, blood supply is hindered and no oxygen
and nutrients can reach that part of the body. Lack of
blood flow for long periods of time causes pain (in most
cases) and eventual cell death.
Two processes that can contribute to blocked arteries
anywhere in the body are atherothrombosis and atherosclerosis.
(A little Greek lesson here: Athero=porridge; thrombus=clot;
osis=much, while sclero=hard. We thus end up with too
many porridge-like clots, or too much hard porridge in our
arteries!) Bottom line, the clots block the arteries. If you
have atherothrombosis or atherosclerosis, you are said to
have vascular disease.
Vascular disease in the arteries that lead to the brain
can cause a stroke. In the arteries that lead to the heart,
it can cause angina pain or a heart attack. In the arteries
that lead to the kidneys it can cause high blood pressure
and kidney failure. In the peripheral vessels (arms and legs)
it can cause pain or discomfort when you walk (claudication)
and severe reductions in blood flow that may lead
to gangrene or necrosis (tissue death). Understanding that
vascular disease can happen in all vessels in the body is an
important step toward helping prevent such occurrences.
Reduce Your Risk Factors...
Don't Take Chances with Your Health!
There are some important things you can do to reduce
your risk of vascular disease. Risk factors include type I
or type II diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure,
smoking, lack of exercise and obesity.
Diabetes...Control It for Life
Diabetes most often appears in middle age and among
overweight people. But it's becoming an increasing problem
in children and adolescents. It affects many more
women than men after age 60. Many people with diabetes
also have high blood pressure and high blood cholesterol.
This increases their risk even more.
If you have diabetes, it's critical to have regular
medical check-ups. Work closely with your
healthcare provider to manage your diabetes and
reduce or eliminate any other risk factors. If you
have a family history of diabetes, ask your healthcare
provider for a fasting blood sugar test.
What your numbers should be:
High Blood Cholesterol...Is Your Number Up?
Cholesterol is a soft, fat-like substance found in your
blood and in all your body's cells. A high cholesterol level
in your blood can build up into artery-blocking plaque
that can prevent blood flow to your heart, brain, kidneys,
or legs. Find out what your cholesterol levels are, so you
can lower them if you need to.
If you need to lower your LDL (the "bad" cholesterol),
work with your doctor to create a diet low in
saturated fat and cholesterol, and an exercise plan.
If you're overweight, work with your doctor to create
a diet and exercise plan to help you lose the extra
pounds. Your doctor may also provide medication.
Even if you need to take cholesterol-lowering drugs,
a healthy diet and exercise are still important.
High Blood Pressure...the Silent Killer
High blood pressure (or hypertension) makes the heart
work harder than normal. This raises the risk of heart
attacks, strokes, kidney failure, eye damage, congestive
heart failure and atherosclerosis.
What your numbers should be:
Blood pressure of less
than 130/80. Lower, if you have diabetes.
Smoking... Clear the Air!
CAUSE OF DEATH IN THE UNITED STATES. If
you smoke cigarettes (or cigars), you have a higher risk
of illness and death from heart attack, stroke and other
diseases. These include lung, mouth and throat cancers;
chronic lung diseases and infections; and congestive heart
failure. If you smoke, quit!
Join a program such as Quit Smart&tm;, Bridgeport
Hospital's smoking cessation program, which has
a success rate equal to or better than that of other
What your numbers should be:
Tobacco use: None. Repeat, NEVER!
Physical Inactivity...Just Move!
If you're physically inactive - a "couch potato" - you're
much more likely to develop heart disease or have a
stroke. Regular, moderate-to-vigorous physical activity
can help control blood cholesterol, diabetes and obesity.
It can also help lower blood pressure.
What your numbers should be:
30 minutes of exercise per day.
Obesity or Overweight... Lighten Up
If you have too much body fat - especially if a lot of it
is in your waist area—you're at higher risk for health
problems. These include high blood pressure, high blood
cholesterol, high triglycerides, diabetes, heart disease and
stroke. Women with excess body fat are at higher risk
of heart disease - even if they don't have other risk factors.

Colors of Passion (Rang Rasiya)
This is the legendary tale of Raja Ravi Varma, India's pioneer painter. The film deals with the trajectory of his life and relationship with his muse, Sugandha. Nandana Sen as the muse radiates the passion of Randeep Hooda who plays Raja Ravi Varma.The narrative begins in the middle of action, where an artist is arrested and charged with obscenity, immorality and hurting religious sentiments by painting nudes of Indian mythological characters. He is Raja Ravi Varma. At a temple, he discovers the woman of his artistic imagination and dreams. She is Sugandha - the muse. Her beauty inspires him to create his now-famous paintings such as Saraswati with the Veena and also other nude paintings. Following which, he moves to materialize his seminal vision of freeing his art from the shackles of elite patronage. The conflict in the film emerges from the politics of his artistic vision. "He painted the gods and she paid the price".

This conversation is closed.
About U.S. hegemony.
Given, for example, that France is more philanthropic, per capita, than the rest of the world, including the U.S., and that countries, such as those in the Northeast region of Europe, seem to be doing relatively well regarding terrorism and associated threats, what reason is there for the U.S. to take "moral" or "military" leadership role within the world?
Dec 28 2012: "what reason is there for the U.S. to take "moral" or "military" leadership role within the world?"
There is no "reason". The United States just has the biggest economy in the world and the biggest population of the developed countries, it also spends a larger percentage of its GDP on the military than the other developed countries, except a few tiny ones. These factors allow the US to take a leadership role and it takes that opportunity because it fits with the countries "manifest destiny" mythology and yields extensive material rewards, at least for the rich and (upper) middle class.
Dec 28 2012: And what might be wrong with some lebensraum to our south, to Mexico? Their culture (from the processual viewpoint of Csikszentmihalyi's "pursue your happiness as long as it doesn't hurt others") is a wreck, and they - as a whole - are a threat to our security.
Might there be another term, other than "leadership role" that you can use, since what you seem to be implying is not leadership but an immoral form of imperialism?Dec 28 2012: As support for your apparent assertion that the US ought not seek to lead the free world you say, "France is more philanthropic, per capita, than the rest of the world, including the U.S." Great care is advised when deciding using per capita data. For example I can show that New Zealand would win 2500 gold medals in the Olympics if she had as many people as China. No smoke or mirrrors are needed, I base it on per capita statistics. Thus I can say New Zealand is more athletic than any nation on earth, just as you can say France is more philanthropic than any nation on earth. Do we measure philanthropy by how much each person gives, or by how much is given total? America has the guns and money and must rank very high among all contenders for leader of the free world. Read the book Mr. Palmer mentions below. Thank you!
Dec 28 2012: A good point Mr. Long. I suppose that the saying "content without context is nothing" is appropriate in this case. What I think I was trying to communicate is that there are other societies in which philanthropism is woven more in to the fabric of the lives of the people?
Do we Americans have that woven in to the fabric of our culture and souls more than most or all other countries, as much as FOX commentary wants to make us out to believe? Are we that special, or just should we be?
Dec 28 2012: Agreed Mr. Westervelt that other countries may well have citizens with typically better morals and higher ideals than the US has. But the question of world leadership must include quantity, not just quality. If it were simply quality I think the US would be pretty far down on the list of good world leaders. Good question. Thank you for posting!
Dec 29 2012: Quantity Counts. Good point Mr. Long.Dec 27 2012: "what reason is there for the U.S. to take "moral" or "military" leadership role within the world?"
1. Military leadership:
Because we can and no other country can. IF the USA makes wise decisions regarding where and when to intervene, we could do a lot of good in the world. I recently viewed a documentary, "The World Without US" apparently based on a book by the same name, by Alan Weisman. It makes a good case that if the USA suddenly withdrew from the world the effect would be very bad for the rest of the world.
2. Moral leadership:
The USA has a very mixed record. How many countries have conquered half of Europe, then voluntary withdrawn, and then done anything similar to the Marshal Plan? I am fairly well read in history, and I think that was unique. The USA has performed some heinous acts of imperialism, and it is no exaggeration to say that it has propped up the entire free world. These are not good credentials for becoming a moral leader, but unless someone else steps up and takes the role, a future USA president just might. He would need much more courage, moral fortitude and strength of character than the current occupant.
Dec 28 2012: Some good points Barry. Weisman, if he emphasizes the concept of "suddenly", makes his argument at least minimally cogent against those who would otherwise disagree with him.
Glad to hear that, although I personally believe that we may be called to take the high road and be a light unto others and are not, there is some thinking about what a future U.S. President might have to do, given his limited powers.Dec 27 2012: Well, I think you are helping to make my point. Thanks.Dec 27 2012: Global annual military spending amounted to $1.5 trillion the last time I checked. America military spending is more than 700 billion, yearly, taking almost half of the cake - and that is the reason for her military leadership.
There is no such thing as 'moral leadership' principles of right and wrong are context determined.
Dec 27 2012: Well, I think you are agreeing with me. Thanks.Dec 27 2012: There's oil in them there countries.

The Forfeiture Machine Turns Cops into Robbers
The most terrifying place in Philadelphia is Courtroom 478 in City Hall. This is where property owners enter Philadelphia's Civil Forfeiture Machine. Civil forfeiture is a little-known legal device that allows law enforcement officials to take your property, sell it and pocket the proceeds—even if you have done nothing wrong.
Philadelphia's automated, machine-like forfeiture scheme is unprecedented in size. From 2002 to 2012, Philadelphia took in over $64 million in forfeiture funds—or almost $6 million per year. In 2011 alone, the city's prosecutors filed 6,560 forfeiture petitions to take cash, cars, homes and other property. The Philadelphia District Attorney's office used over $25 million of that $64 million to pay salaries, including the salaries of the very prosecutors who brought the forfeiture actions. This is almost twice as much as what all other Pennsylvania counties spent on salaries combined.
This is how the city's forfeiture machine works: Property owners who have their cash, cars or homes seized must go to Courtroom 478. But Courtroom 478 isn't a courtroom at all: there is no judge or jury, just a scheduler and the prosecutors who run the show. Owners who ask for a lawyer are frequently told their case isn't complicated and a lawyer isn't necessary, but are then given a stack of complicated legal documents to fill out under oath. Time and time again, property owners must return to Courtroom 478—up to ten or more times in some cases. If they miss a single appearance, they can lose their property forever.
Philadelphia's forfeiture machine stacks the deck against property owners and leads city officials to police for profit instead of justice. To end these unconscionable and unconstitutional practices, the Institute for Justice and a group of property owners have brought a major, class-action lawsuit in federal court. The lawsuit will take the profit incentive out of civil forfeiture and protect innocent people who are caught in an upside-down legal process that treats them like cash machines while violating their constitutional rights.Read more

From the start, New York-based jewelry designers Jill Martinelli and Sabine Le Guyader have always been obsessed with the grim story of Lady Jane Grey, the "Nine Days' Queen" who was beheaded for adultery. While we can't quite relate to that (thankfully), the ladies behind Lady Grey Jewelry attribute their tough, almost sinister aesthetic to the former wife of King Henry VIII. Sound a little haunting? We're allured! Inspired by "objects of decay," the gals spring '12 collection is the perfect balance of gold-plated studs and crushed bismuth stones fit for a really cool evil queen. (Perhaps this one?) The severe but beautiful collection is aggressive without being too girly, dangerous without being off-putting. Pair the pieces with almost anything — printed collared shirts or white, billowy dresses for an extra bone-chilling effect — and you'll get a perfectly ethereal ensemble. Totally to-die-for, but, pinkie-swear, we promise we won't get all Maleficent on anyone.

Recipe by Donna West
"This dough makes wonderful dinner rolls but can also be used to make cinnamon rolls. Mixing it in your bread machine but bake the rolls in the oven. They're light, soft and sweet."
Watch video tips and tricks
1/2 cup
warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
1/2 cup
warm milk
1/3 cup
butter, softened
1/3 cup
white sugar
1 teaspoon
3 3/4 cups
all-purpose flour
1 (.25 ounce) package
active dry yeast
1/4 cup
butter, softened
Wow, I can't believe I made such good rolls.
I don't have a breadmaker, so here's what I did:
I mixed the water and milk, nuked in in the microwave for 1 minute and 15 seconds, poured it into the bowl of my KitchenAid mixer, then stirred in the sugar until it dissolved, then stirred in the yeast. I use yeast from a jar instead of packets, and I used 2.5 teaspoons. After it got foamy (I only waited about 10 minutes...I'm impatient) I mixed in the salt, butter and egg, then I started mixing the flour a half cup at a time. I let it rise for about 45 minutes in the bowl, then punched it down, divided it into 16 balls (I didn't feel like making crescents) and let it rise for another hour, then baked for 10 minutes. They turned out like something from a bakery. I have never, ever baked bread this wonderful. I am so bummed that I am home alone right now and nobody can see what a wonderful thing I just did!
I also want to add, pay attention to the temperature of your oven...My oven tends to be extremely hot, so I only set it for 350 to bake these...they turned out perfect. I know 400 degrees would have blackened them.
Ended up being too sweet & crumbly for my taste

So yummy! I don't have a breadmaker, so I made these the traditional way (dissolve yeast and 1 tbsp sugar in warm water, let sit for about 10 min. Meanwhile, warm milk in saucepan until it just bubbles. Remove from heat, stir in sugar and butter until melted and cool to lukewarm. In a large bowl combine yeast mixture, milk mixture and egg. Stir in flour a little at a time and knead on lightly floured surface about 8 min.) Cover and let rise about 1 hr...punch down and then roll out. I baked at 375 for 12 min, but could have used a tad longer. Still very good.
There are never any rolls left when I make these for a dinner. After the dough raises, I divide the dough into 27 pieces and form into balls. I place 9 balls in a greased 9" pie pan, this gives me 3 pans of rolls. I let them raise for 30 minutes, then bake in the oven until lightly brown. I freeze the rolls in aluminum foil. When I need dinner rolls, I thaw the rolls, leave them wrapped in the foil and warm in the oven at 350 degrees for 5-10 minutes. Delicious!
Excellent rolls! I made these into cinnamon rolls and they turned out great! I don't own a bread machine and for those who don't either here are the directions to use: pour water & milk into bowl, add sugar, stir to disolve, add yeast, allow to proof for about 20 minutes until creamy foam appears, add butter, salt, mix, add slightly beaten egg and flour cup by cup stirring mixture. Allow to rise for 45mins in a warm area, covered with clean dish towel. Turn out and continue with step 2. These are very light, tasty rolls!!
My absolute favorite bread recipe. I'm always asked to bring the rolls to get-togethers. I've used it for cinnamon rolls, monkey bread...almost everything. I do cheat, however; normally I cut the dough into 36 pieces and place 3 into each cup of a muffin tin. It makes big, light clover leaf rolls that everyone raves over.
These rolls are so yummy.I don't have a bread maker so I make it the old fashioned way and it still turns out perfect everytime. Mix the warm water, warm milk and yeast first. Let it stand for about 10 minutes for the yeast to proof. Then add the remaining ingredients. Let it rise until doubled in size (about 1hr.) Then follow the rest of the recipe. My husband and boys arm wrestle for the last one. This recipe is also wonderful for cinnamon rolls. Happy Baking!
GREAT!!! 5++++ What more can I say. I have used this recipe many times and always turns out GREAT!! If I am in a hurry I take dough out of bread machine and cut in 12 equal pieces. Roll dough into balls in my hand and then put them in my glass 9x13 pan and let them raise for 1 hour. Bake for 12 mins at 350.... These rolls are also good when made ahead of time and froze until ready to use. just pop in oven and warm up! Sooo Gooooood!!

Organized in 1963, the Vanderslice Committee is a volunteer support organization of the Kansas City Art Institute. The committee raises funds for the beautification and restoration of historic Vanderslice Hall, the college's main administrative building. The historic mansion dates to 1896 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Pictured: Historic Vanderslice Hall. Photo credit: Tal Wilson ('81 photography).
The Vanderslice Committee meets on the third Tuesday of each month from September to May, excluding the month of January. A holiday luncheon is held in December and a spring luncheon in May. A spirit of kinship is formed among members of the committee working together at monthly meetings and in preparation for the annual fundraising event. Members develop a special bond to the college and its students in their efforts to support KCAI.
For over 45 years, the Vanderslice Committee hosted the Vanderslice Kitchens and Homes Tour as part of their annual fundraising event. In 2009 the committee decided to embark on alternative fundraising opportunities and hosted the "Welcome to Nutterland" party at the home of Jim and Sonya Nutter. Each year since 2009 the committee has hosted a different annual fundraising culinary event around the Kansas City metropolitan area.
For more information about the Vanderslice Committee, please contact the KCAI advancement office at 816-802-3521 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

The Catholic Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend announced at 2:28 p.m. Sunday that Bishop Emeritus John M. D'Arcy has died.
The bishop, 80, had been stricken with cancer just after Christmas.
D'Arcy died late Sunday morning at his home, where he was surrounded by loved ones, the diocesan announcement said. He died on the 56th anniversary of celebrating his first Mass as an ordained priest.
Bishop Kevin C. Rhoades and the diocese ask for and offers prayers for Bishop D'Arcy, his family, loved ones and friends as people grieve the bishop's loss, the announcement said.
Funeral arrangements are pending at this time.
A Boston native and the son of Irish immigrants, D'Arcy was installed as the eighth bishop of the Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend on May 1, 1985. He succeeded the retiring William E. McManus, who was appointed bishop in 1976 and died in 1997 at age 83.
Born Aug. 18, 1932, in Boston, D'Arcy studied at Saint John's Seminary in Brighton, Mass., and was ordained Feb. 2, 1957. He also studied at the Angelicum in Rome, from which he received a doctorate in spiritual theology in 1968.
He was ordained as auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of Boston on Feb. 14, 1975, and also served as spiritual director and professor of spiritual theology at Saint John's from 1968 to 1985.
D'Arcy's effort to improving the quality of priests was one of the highlight his tenure as bishop – and also generated its share of controversy.
"I became known as 'D'Arcy the hatchet man,' " he told The News-Sentinel in 2005, shortly before celebrating his 20th anniversary as bishop. "In addition to helping the good guys become priests, I would help others out of the seminary, and I was criticized for that."
D'Arcy also removed priests from parishes – often without warning or explanation.
The reason for D'Arcy's actions became clear in late 2003 when he announced 17 priests in the diocese had apparently molested about 33 people – mostly minors – since 1950. D'Arcy also said he had removed 12 priests; the rest had either died or left the priesthood.
D'Arcy had warned of the sex-abuse problem in the priesthood even before leaving Boston to become bishop here. In December 1984 – just two months before being named bishop of this diocese– D'Arcy wrote a letter to then-Boston Archbishop Bernard Law in which he questioned the fitness of the Rev. John Geoghan to serve as a priest.
More than 130 people ultimately accused Geoghan of sexual abuse. He was convicted in 2002 and murdered by a fellow inmate in 2003.
He also had begun working to strengthen the priesthood before the Boston scandal broke. In 1979, he had written "A Letter on Priestly Formation," in which he argued the church should reject candidates for the priesthood who are not emotionally or psychologically able to live celibate lives of service to the church and its members.
"I had a duty to call attention to the problem," D'Arcy explained in 2002. "Priests not only have to be good, they have to look good. People have the right to expect their priests to live good, moral lives – to be in private what we claim to be in public."
Bishops are supposed to step down from their position at the age of 75 but D'Arcy's work was extended by the Vatican until late 2009, when Bishop Kevin C. Rhoades of the Diocese of Harrisburg, Pa., was announced as his successor.
In a guest column published in The News-Sentinel in May 2002, in which D'Arcy was writing about the priest sex-abuse scandal, he said, "For myself, at the time of my appointment I believed, and believe even more strongly now, that my mission . . . is part of the mission of Jesus Christ, which he has received from the Father. This was explicit in the gospel of Pentecost: "As the Father has sent me, so I also send you." (John 20: 21)
"I expect to be judged by Christ at the end as to whether I have been a shepherd after his heart," he said. "I will rely on his mercy."

The decades-old mommy wars heated up in April when Democratic commentator Hilary Rosen made the assertion that Ann Romney never worked a day in her life.
Rosen later apologized, but the long-time debate about what is better for children — moms working outside the home or staying home — continues.
With Mother�s Day approaching, Sandra Cavalier, the director of the Office of Adult Services at Frederick Community College, said she is hopeful the debate eventually will end and all mothers will be valued whether they work in or outside the home.
�Some women have no choice other than to work,� Cavalier said. �Each of us has to make our own decisions as to what is best for us. Hopefully society will sanction that.�
For Stephanie Dellamura of Walkersville, the choice was easy.
�I knew I always wanted to stay home,� she said. �My mom stayed home because that was thing you did. Once I had kids, I knew I would stay home.�
Dellamura, 45, left her job as a sales representative in the biotech field 10 years ago when her first son, Gregory, was born. Today, Dellamura is raising her three boys, Gregory, Adam, 8, and Jacob, 3, while her husband works full-time.
Dellamura knows she is fortunate to be financially able to stay home. And she doesn�t judge those mothers who can�t.
�I�m fortunate I could make that choice,� she said. �But I respect moms who have to work. I don�t know how they do it. I have never looked down or disrespected someone who has to work. Staying at home is not for everybody.�
Dellamura said it is important for her to be home with her young children.
�I know kids grow fast and I want to see them for more than a few hours a day,� she said. �And, when they are teenagers I�ll still need to be here for them. I want to be here for them when they get home from school and in the summer.�
A recent study conducted by Kim Parker with the Pew Research Center, a nonpartisan think tank that conducts research on current issues, found 62 percent of working mothers say they would rather work part-time and 37 percent would prefer to work full-time. Parker�s research also found 21 percent of adults say the trend toward more mothers of young children working outside the home has benefited society.
�The reality is that most working mothers would rather work part-time,� Parker said. �There is still that tension on the part of mothers themselves.�
However, Parker said there is consensus among people that more women in the work force has been a change for the better.
�There is a consensus that women in the work force is a good thing,� she said. �It�s a concensus that has been building.�
For Angie Fish, serving as president of the Frederick County Board of Education and as a full-time10th grade teacher at Northwest High School in Germantown, works for her family. Fish and her husband are the parents of four girls.
�I absolutely love what I do,� said Fish, 40. �I love what I do. I absolutely love teaching. It�s such a joy in my life. And it�s financially important that I work.�
Fish of Frederick credits her family for helping her balance home and work.
�It�s a real team effort,� she said. �I certainly could not do it without my husband and my mom and dad. I am truely blessed. I have a very supportive family. My husband takes the kids to school in the morning and I can meet them at the school bus in the afternoon.�
Fish said she will not seek re-election when her term on the school board expires in December. Fish has said she plans to spend more time with her family after leaving public office.
Fish said having the summers off with her children also helps.
Judging the merits of stay-at-home moms is something Fish said she never would do.
�It�s what works for the individual mom,� she said. �It�s not for me to pass judgement on anybody. What works for the individual mom is what is best.�
But according to Dellamura, society assumes moms like herself accomplish little.
�I think people who work are under the impression that we watch TV and eat Bon Bons,� she said. �I don�t sit down. It�s a challenge. You�re at your job 24/7. You don�t get a break. It�s a nonstop paying job. You�re dealing with innately selfish little people that you can�t reason with.�
Despite its challenges, Dellamura said she wouldn�t change a thing.
�The boys and I are able to enjoy many fun things during the day,� she said. �We spend a lot of time at the area parks, lakes and the libraries. We go to the national and Catoctin zoos, go bike riding, swimming at the YMCA, go out to lunch, have picnics, rent movies or play games.�
And, when she catches herself complaining, Dellamura quickly remembers what she does have.
�On beautiful days when I�m out of the house with the boys or just Jacob at the park, I regret ever complaining about how hard my job is,� she said. �I would never trade a thing.�

Disney pilot comes to life in Australia
Creator takes Disney short down under and secures funding for somewhat controversial series. Anyone know how to tap into those Aussie dollars? http://tinyurl.com/albhbtg
Re: Disney pilot comes to life in Australia
That's cool. Can we get more info? Was this initially pitched to Disney? Did they pass on it in the US? Did they have a hand in its production?
Daily Z
Re: Disney pilot comes to life in Australia
SheZow was originally pitched to Disney. They made a 5-minute short for their Shorty Mc Short Shorts block of shorts. The animation company of hire was Mercury Film Works. Once the short aired, Disney got letters complaining of the cross-dressing aspect and the idea of a series was abandoned. The creator then took the short and a bible for the innovative series to Australia via Brenda Wooding and there Moody Street Kids (MSK) bought it. MSK has an output deal with Channel 10 and the series received funding from government entity, Film Victoria.
Re: Disney pilot comes to life in Australia
That's very interesting. Would it be possible to upload a video on YouTube?

I think many people can't find the proper places to 'vent'.
Or not wanting to get involved in such sites.
So it comes out here where they hang out mostly. I think.
I'd say most everyone here has been screwed over in one way or another.
Personally I have had to deal with some major issues that included multiple other issues.
They overlap into everything, it seems.
Hanging with the same crowd, these things are bound to come up occasionally.
If we could nail down the cause or problem, that could help redirect our thinking.
And not 'project' our own thoughts into what someone may say.
But, look a little closer at our selves and see how we receive what is said without making snap posts.
I still have to deal with some things more than I want to.
Some say 'get over it'.
To that (and not them) I say fuck you in my mind....usually.
There is no getting over some things, temporarily, yes, and some things have died.
But overall it haunts me, because I remember and associate, poorly sometimes.
And it comes out wrong when some buttons are pushed.
