Watch Luther
Luther is a psychological crime series that stars Idris Elba. It is filmed in Great Britain and follows an English detective, Luther, as he tries to solve mysteries. Luther works for the Serious Crime Unit where he is a dedicated and hardworking police officer. Luther is more than just an ordinary police officer, however. Luther is actually a genius and he also has many obsessive tendencies that help him solve crimes but also cause him difficulty in his personal life.
Luther struggles with the problem of becoming obsessed with the crimes that he is investigating. He becomes wrapped up in the violent and dark nature of the world that he investigates and ends up letting it bleed over into his personal life. The biggest problem that his obsessed nature has caused Luther has been the end of his marriage. While he is still very much in love with his ex-wife and wants to get back together with her, his workaholic ways are preventing the marriage from healing.
Luther also struggles a bit with his ethics. When he needs to, he will tell white lies or manipulate facts in order to close a case. Luther meets his match when he encounters murder suspect Alice Morgan. Alice also shares the same obsessed psychological nature that Luther does but instead of being a cop, she is a double murderer. She and Luther become involved in a dangerous game of cat and mouse with each of them doing their best to outwit the other.
All of Luther's fellow police officers and his supervisors are worried that Luther's tactics will get the entire force in trouble. His unorthodox method of solving crimes could expose him to sanctions or forced removal from a case. Luther is impatient with the slow nature of the criminal justice system and he does his best to subvert the entire process while bringing criminals to justice in his own way.

I've been once before for my birthday in December, and IT WAS FABULOUS! Looking forward to visiting during a new season with new drinks and foods to enjoy.
The restaurant is easy to miss: located in the old engine room of the Southern Dairies' building. It's located at the corner of North Avenue and Glen Iris.
The Chef/Owner is Jay Swift ( who WAS with South City Kitchen and Rainwater). His goal is to bring local, seasonal, and sustainable ingredients and prepare them in a modern way. What he does with simple ingredients is amazing.
The interior has open ceilings and a sort of industrial loft feel, but with the lighting and decor, it's warm and inviting.
We were seated quickly in the main dining room and our server (Craig) appeared immediately. He was what you look for in a waiter - friendly, knowledgable and unobtrusive.
Here are some shots of the menu on the day we were there:
|Photo Credit: Cate Bogue
We opted to start with drinks. One was a vodka concoction with apple cider and the other with bourbon. Both fantastic!
Vodka, Cocchi Americano, Spiced Apple-Pistachio Gastrique,
Angostura, Prosecco, flute
Meyer's Trilby
Woodford, Toasted Almond Honey, Grapefruit,
Smoked Peach Bitters, rocks
And the rolls with fresh butter were to die for!
|Photo Credit: Cate Bogue
But the MAIN reason to go to 4th and Swift is the food! It's fresh, local and exquisitely prepared. We had 2 starters: Red cooked bershire pork belly over fried rice and with bok choy and a brussel sprout "salad" with creme freche and shaved apple slices. Both were amazing, and we left not a morsel on our plates.
"Red Cooked" Berkshire Pork Belly
Fried Carolina Gold Rice, Local Choy, Spring Onion Kimchi, Spiced Black Garlic Jus

The Brussels salad

Our main courses were equally good. We went with sea bass and a dish they're know for called 3 Little Pigs that features pork loin, served with house made sausage, and some pork belly.
I've included 2 pictures from others so you can see more clearly, as mine didn't turn out as well as I'd hoped.
|Photo Credit: Cate Bogue
The sea bass was prepared to perfection - crispy on the outside and delicate on the inside. A light and delicious dish. And the pork loin was tender and flavorful along side pork belly and sausage - somehow the dish works and isn't too heavy. It's absolutely delicious!
We had an early wake up call to head to Augusta, and we were stuffed, so we opted out of dessert, however I still remember the dessert from the last visit: Sticky Toffee Bread Pudding. It's the best bread pudding I've ever tasted!!!
All in all I highly recommend 4th and Swift! From the bar area (which has a very fun and welcoming atmosphere, not to mention one of the best mixologists in Atlanta!) to the dining area, the place has a great atmosphere. You're immediately put at ease upon sitting down at your table. The only difficult part is choosing what fabulous dish to enjoy! I'll be back for sure - this time in the summer months to enjoy what's fresh at that time!
*Only negative note: we made reservations weeks earlier and when we arrived at the restaurant there were perhaps 2 or 3 tables occupied at 6:45PM. The host had the entire restaurant to choose from (yes, I realize he needed to work within the waitstaff's domain), but he seated us right next to a table of 3 women who were loud and animated and so talkative it was difficult for us to carry on a conversation. It was even a bit difficult to maneuver over their table to get to ours. Just sort of an odd choice. It ended up being fine, (and we loved Craig!) and the place was packed within 30 minutes drowning out any conversations beyond our table.
I'm headed to NYC next week to continue my culinary exploits but will return to the Atlanta dining scene shortly.
Next up: Abbatoir, Barcelonia, Seasons 52 and Iberian Pig!

I love to watch the hoarding shows. A team comes in and clears a house and organizes it back to life. It is probably my dream job. Most of us are not hoarders to that extreme, but we all have tendencies. Anybody else have an "I'm going to make something out of that" pile? Intentions are good, the items may even be valuable, but too much of a good thing still has the potential to get out of hand.
I noticed I was hoarding an unlikely little collection. Gift cards. As much as I love them, I had accumulated so many that they were getting lost in my wallet. In fact, between loyalty cards and gift cards, my wallet was starting to look like the back pocket of a working man's jeans. Can you see the rectangle in the leather? Poor, sweet, red Hobo… you do not deserve that.
The cards inside were actually doubling the size and of my wallet. They were taking over. Too much plastic and I don't even have credit cards.
Ultimately, I just need to spend these gift cards! Problem was I didn't even know what I had to spend. So, I sorted the cards (gift and loyalty) and bound them with rubber bands. That would keep them separated, and my wallet thin. I purged some of the loyalty cards and kept the ones I use. Sidenote….I am thinking of trying this Key Ring App where you scan all your loyalty cards to the app on your phone so you don't have to carry the actual cards! Sounds fabulous, right? That would get rid of a whole stack!
Time to make a list! You saw that coming right? I used one of my oversized, lined notecards and cut it to size. I laid out all the gift cards and simply made a list of what I had, and the amount of money on each of them. There were a few I had forgotten about and others that I can't remember the amount left. The amount totaled over $500. Wow. Hoarders cannot even use quality stuff they have because they don't remember what they have it! Lesson learned.
My little mess is now tidied up and gift cards are ready to be spent. And, look how much better my wallet is looking! "Ahhh, organization."
So, maybe I am not really a hoarder. Maybe my wallet is no where near the disasters airing on TV. Still, a little bit of life change happened here, people. Sometimes a simple solution can save a lot of frustration. Why didn't do this months ago? Now it's time to spend those cards!

Greensboro, NCHome Menu
City News
PLANIT GSO Hosts Urban Revitalization Strategist/Award-Winning Broadcaster on November 5
The City's Planning Department hosts urban revitalization strategist and Peabody Award-winning broadcaster Majora Carter November 5 as part of PLANIT GSO's series of public conversations about how Greensboro should grow and develop.
Carter will give two talks about how talent-retention strategies in low-status communities can drive prosperity from within:
- 12 noon to 1:30 pm Monday, November 5, Lunch and Learn, at The Public, 433 Spring Garden Rd. Cost is $12, which includes lunch. Online registration is required.
- 5:30-7 pm Monday, November 5, Community Presentation, Greensboro History Museum, 130 Summit Ave. Free.
Carter founded the nonprofit workforce development organization Sustainable South Bronx (SSBx) where she deployed Massachusetts Institute of Technology's first-ever digital fabrication laboratory, an early iteration of the makerspaces found elsewhere today. And, her 2006 TEDtalk was one of six to launch that groundbreaking site.
Carter's Greensboro events are part of the City's PLANIT GSO efforts to spark community conversations about what Greensboro's future should look like. Public input is being used to help City staff update its 15-year-old Comprehensive Plan, which is a road map that guides a city's investments and growth for the next 20 years.
For more information about Carter's visit, call Russ Clegg, long range planning division manager, at 336-373-2211.

Since the opening of the Auckland home in 2007 there have been over 50 graduates. Here are some of their stories:
Going through the programme was a stretching and strengthening process. I had my good and bad days, but slowly, with the staff's dedicated help, and through the grace and mercy of our amazing God, I could start taking back my life.
When I graduated, I walked out of the doors confident, renewed, and free. I applied to and was accepted into Bible College, and am loving learning more about our awesome Creator! A Girl Called Hope has changed my life."
What really sets you free, is letting God show you the truth, accepting it, and letting yourself change. It's hard and it hurts but it is so worth it."
I had a lot to be unhappy about and defined who I was by the constant stream of lies my mind was telling me: that I would never amount to anything, that I was not good enough and that there was no reason for me to carry on living.
I lived every day in a continual battle just to survive, and the tiny glimmer of hope I had was getting dimmer and dimmer as each day passed, that was until the day I heard about A Girl Called Hope.
I had tried different counsellors, psychologists, psychiatrists, doctors and medications but nothing had worked. I was entering A Girl Called Hope to start my journey to recovery.
I'm not going to tell you it was easy or comfortable because it wasn't. It was one of the hardest and most painful things I had ever done in my life. It was confronting, challenging and a totally different atmosphere from what I was used to. I am so happy to say now that going to A Girl Called Hope was the best decision I ever made.
Every day was a chance to learn, and every challenge was a chance to grow, and having God at the centre of everything we did and learnt was the key factor in making A Girl Called Hope a truly life-changing programme.
I was able to learn about myself and about who I really am, not according to my own view of myself, but according to God's word and the way He sees me - as beautiful, precious, loved and valued."
"Our oldest daughter had Anorexia Nervosa in her teenage years and was accepted into A Girl Called Hope. We saw her graduate a very different young lady than the one who entered the programme, having tackled her life issues with the help of the staff. She has now gone on to live a full, active and happy life as a youth worker, working with troubled youth in the community. We are extremely grateful for all A Girl Called Hope did for our daughter."

My Story
My full name is Ilina Simeonova ("ILINA" is pronounced "E-'lee-na"). I grew up in Bulgaria, and after graduating high school, I dreamed of becoming a fashion model. This took me to Paris, and eventually New York, but I had little luck. So instead, I studied graphic design in college, and developed a passion for Photoshop and the Internet. I went on to have a great and fulfilling career as a web designer, and never suspected I'd one day do photography as well.
I began taking photos in 2006 as a hobby, posting my first shots on Flickr. The lively community inspired me and stimulated me to keep improving. A few years into that, I was invited to become a contributor to agencies such as Getty and Trevillion. I discovered that I'm quite passionate about creating images that tell stories and sell products, and found myself building a large body of work. Now, my photos have been used on over 1,000 book covers, and by companies such as MTV, Marie Claire, Cosmopolitan, Microsoft, American Express, ABC, and many others.
In a curious twist of fate, I got to live out my modeling dream as well. I've modeled for many of my own photos that ended up on book covers and advertisements. Life can be strange and wonderful sometimes :)

Turkish design firm Autoban, founded by Seyhan Özdemir (architect) and Sefer Çağlar (interior architect), was established in 2003 and their office is in Galata, Istanbul's historic quarter. They design and develop interior environments for residential and commercial projects. They consider each interior project a "story to be told", which I love, because when you study design, you attach yourself to it. You look at it from all sides, turn it upside down, give it a few shakes and see what forms. And along the process, you hope to have a design concept (or a story) developed for your client.
Seyhan Özdemir and Sefer Çağlar
Autoban also designs products using natural and raw materials and their designs are very Bauhaus in style and form (see some of their products below).
Recently, they have completed the design of The House Café, located in the Kanyon Shopping Mall in Istanbul, Turkey, and the results are spectacular.
Here they have integrated the design of The House Cafe into the form of the Mall. The steel structure reads more like a greenhouse than a restaurant, but the use of a warm walnut platform gives the restaurant warmth and presence.
The dining space is open and airy, given the glass walls. The taraxacum 88 pendant light, available at HiveModern adds the perfect bit of dazzle to this very architectural space.
A view down through the restaurant toward the bar at the end. The drapers are brought all the way up to the glass ceiling, through the steal beams to soften the space.
Also notice the metal accent strips in the floor that mirror the steel beams. The curvilinear shape of this restaurant gives it interest as well.
One final look at the bar area and a community table. Community tables are gaining more and more popularity by the way. Have you been to a restaurant with a community table? It's a wonderful way to meet new people.
This wooden flower shaped lighting fixture was designed by Seyhan Özdemir & Sefer Çaglar.
This Magnolia Lighting Unit hangs from the ceiling and has hexagonal plates are graduated in size, becoming smaller toward the top and bottom. Each plate is rotated into a different position so the form below is representative of the leaves of a flower.

The Beyoglu House in Istanbul. Modern furniture meets traditional architecture in this home. Note the accent light in the corner.
Glass doors reflect another view into the room.
This is my favorite room. The warm wood table, which is very narrow, probably to accommodate the space, against the crisp white cabinets with the fantastic mirrored subway tiled backsplash is very pleasing to the eye.
The Ayazpasa House in Istanbul. Modern and traditional furniture mix to create a perfect sitting area. Note the Magnolia lighting fixture.
Another view of the room above. The architecture of the room is wonderful. Here the coffee table mirrors the ceiling molding.
Looking into the dining room. Three doors into this space is a lot, but the arch on them adds uniformity.
The lighting fixture, also designed by Autoban, is an inverted Double Octopus. The artwork on the floor is placed on clear glass, that allows the brick wall to show through.
Finally, the bed in the bedroom is up against a freestanding wall panel, beautifully decorated with molding (I wonder what's behind there?). The sparsity of the room gives it a very modern feel.
Cheers everyone! Have a lovely day!

The goddess of wild nature, hunting, chastity and marriage
Take me to the pictures! (4 photos in photo gallery)
Diana was the roman goddess for wild nature and forests, but she was later associated with hunting, and as a protector of women, with chastity, marriage and childbirth.
She was identified by the Romans with the Greek goddess Artemis. Her cult spread throughout the Roman empire and she was identified with numerous local divinities.
Diana was the daughter of Jupiter and Latona.
The best known temples of Diana were in Nemi (SE. of Rome) and on the Aventine Hill in Rome.

Logan County Democrats showed a strong preference for Jared Polis during Tuesday evening's precinct caucuses, and forwarded a resolution to the county assembly to eliminate superdelegates.
The Second District Democratic congressman had been thought to be the front-runner in the contest for Democratic nominee for governor in 2018, but former state treasurer Cary Kennedy outpolled Polis statewide during the nonbinding preference polls.
Logan County Democrats cast 23 votes for Polis of 54 total votes Tuesday night. Undecided came in second with 28 percent followed by 12 for Kennedy for 22 percent.
Mike Johnston garnered three Logan County votes, Erik Underwood one, and Joel Ginsburg none.
The preference for Polis came despite several spirited pleas on Kennedy's behalf. As usual, however, the decisions came down to whether to promote young new blood or someone the party faithful thought could beat whoever the Republicans put up in November.
Statewide, Kennedy polled 50 percent of the party faithful with 11,583 votes and Polis came in second with 7,537 votes for 32.5 percent. There were still 1,504 uncommitted votes, or about 6.5 percent. Mike Johnston polled 2,049 votes, Joel Gisburg 400 and Erik Underwood 95.
The local Democrats started the evening with a brief rules kerfuffle over a resolution to eliminate superdelegates from the state party convention. The resolution argued that superdelegates exercise extraordinary influence over the nomination process but don't reflect the actual will of the rank and file, and should be eliminated.
The caucus-goers, seated at tables in the Gary DeSoto Builting at Logan County Fairgrounds, first took a standing vote on the resolution, which passed 20-4. But then members in the 8th Precinct raised the issue of precinct-wide votes. The delegates pointed out that the rules say all votes have to be taken within each precinct and the votes then tallied by the chairman.
Chairman Peter Youngers agreed and asked each precinct to poll its members on the issue and turn their numbers in to him; a later count showed the resolution passed the caucuses with 26 yes votes, six no and 12 abstentions. Based on that vote, the resolution will be forwarded to the county assembly later this month.
The caucuses elected delegates to the Logan County Democratic Meeting March 20, also in the DeSoto Building. There, delegates to the Congressional District Four and the State Democratic Meeting also will be selected. The CD4 meeting is April 13 at the First Bank Center in Broomfield and the state assembly is the next day in the same place.
The party will have its Logan County Democratic Call to Action Dinner April 7 in the Knights of Columbus hall in Sterling.

Cells regularly die inside us, a normal part of our growth. But when cells die when they shouldn't, the result can be autoimmune disease and other disorders, including cancer.
Worcester Polytechnic Institute professor Kristen Billiar is looking to find the causes of those unexplained cell deaths.
With a three-year, $446,563 grant from the National Science Foundation, Billiar, the head of WPI's Department of Biomedical Engineering, hopes to find out what forces and stresses affect programmed cell death, known as apoptosis.
Billiar, recently elected a fellow of the Biomedical Engineering Society, says there's a critical gap in our understanding of the triggers of programmed cell death. Understanding these causes better, he said, could one day have applications for many diseases.
Understanding those causes better could help develop medications that could prevent or cure diseases caused by unexpected cell death.
Billiar's research will include looking at how cell characteristics such as size and shape affect the cell and its ability to die as a normal part of our lives.
Billiar is working with three others on the research: Nima Rahbar, associate professor of civil and environmental engineering at WPI; Qi Wen, associate professor of physics at WPI; and Dannel McCollum, professor of biochemistry and molecular pharmacology at UMass Medical School in Worcester.

On the hour-long ride to Champaign to see my therapist (for mainly non-Scrabble-related issues, though I suppose depression can be Scrabble-related), I put a bottle of opened Vitamin Water Zero, orange flavor, in my fairly new Dooney and Burke purse. I thought I had securely closed the top of the bottle, but apparently I hadn't. One of the advantages of expensive purses is that they have really good inner linings. This is also their disadvantage. Once the water spilled, it did not quickly permeate the soft leather, but kind of just settled at the bottom, like radioactive waste water at Three Mile Island, sloshing around with my cosmetics and chewing gum and pens.
And iPhone.
I tried to resuscitate the poor thing, giving it my own version of mouth to mouth, wildly turning it on and off, which is the worst thing one can do to a soggy phone. The people at Verizon tried bringing it around, and temporarily succeeded. The phone worked when it was attached to some special wire connected to a computer, but stopped functioning the minute it was removed. I quickly had to face the painful truth—the phone was in a coma, and I would have to pull it off life support. I also had to decide whether to shell out four hundred bucks for a new phone or wait until February 24th to get my upgrade for a hundred dollars. I decided to wait. I can wait. I am brave, yes, very brave.
At first I took this entire incident as a sign that I spend too much time on the phone. After much theological pondering, I realized I don't use the phone function all that much. I prefer face to face conversation, followed by email. What I mainly use the iPhone for is to listen to music, monitor Ebay bids, and, most importantly, study Scrabble words. What would I do now if I couldn't anagram, couldn't examine the eight letter OUT words, couldn't review the four-to-make fives? My hands began to shake. I felt sweat pouring down my forehead. Everything started to spin.
"What's wrong?" Marty asked.
He knew about the death of the iPhone and told me I could borrow his primitive Trackphone, which, frankly speaking, I'd be embarrassed to carry around. What would my students think? The little bit of coolness cache I've acquired over the years would dissipate in an instant.
"How will I anagram and look up words?" I wailed.
"Well, you have your computer."
"I'm not going to take my computer for a walk or bring it to a concert or sit on the toilet with it."
"I can lend you one of my Palm Pilots."
Carrying around a Palm Pilot is even worse than toting a Trackphone.
Marty has a small army of Palm Pilots. None of them has the phone function because, well, these are the really old Palms, the ones that Moses used to write down notes and commandments from God.
"Why do you need so many?" I've asked him. (Marty, not God.)
"It's better to be on the safe side. A thief might sneak into the house at night specifically looking for old Palm Pilots."
Marty knows the day is coming when the Scrabble dictionary is updated and he'll have to cave in and get a fancy phone because the Palms won't be able to upload the new words. He's not looking forward to this day.
Marty handed me Palm Pilot as if it were some ancient and valuable scroll that might disintegrate in my hands.
"Be very very careful," he said.
"Hey, what's this stick?" I asked.
"It's a stylus."
"Wow. You can probably bring this Palm to The Antiques Road Show."
"Not funny."
"Where's the function that lets me know what letters go with a word?"
"The Palm can't do that."
"How do I get the words from longest to shortest?"
"I'm afraid you can't."
It's going to be a long two months.

text: Samajwadi Party supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav has once again stood in support of Amar Singh. Addressing a party meet on Monday, the former Uttar Pradesh chief minister called the senior party leader his brother and said that he won't leave either Amar Singh and Shivpal Yadav, his brother. Mulayam also praised Shivpal and said that work done by the former for the party can't be forgotten. Giving the\u00a0example of Narendra Modi who had come from a poor family, the party chief said that the former became the prime minister due to sheer hard work. While pointed out that a lot of drunkards and goons have joined the party , for whom the power has gone in to their heads, he added that if a person can't face criticism, he cannot be a good leader. At the meet, Mulayam also lamented that instead of fighting weaknesses ahead of crucial Assembly polls early next year, the party leaders are busy fighting among themselves. Suggesting both Shivpal and Akhilesh Yadav to sort ou their differences, The party chief also expresses his anger with the chief minister saying he could have written a letter to him expressing concerns. In the meeting, the party supremo also said he could have become the prime minister in 1996-1997, but sacrificed the high because he couldn't compromise it, however, it does not seem to be true as RJD chief Lalu Yadav had vetoed it. The feud within the party came out in the open after Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav sacked Shivpal Yadav of key ministerial portfolios on September 13, which came hours came hours after the former was replaced with later as the party's state unit chief by Mulayam Singh Yadav. After few meetings, all seemed to be well between within the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister even announcing on September 17 that the party was "united" after he met his uncle Shivpal personally. Even though all ministerial portfolios of Shivpal were returned to him, he was again sacked from the uncil of ministers yesterday along with three others.

Order you lawn seed
So, you are interested in purchasing our special blends of lawn seed to enhance your garden?
Well you have come to the right place. Garden Turf Supplies not only provide the very best quality turf, top soil and bark but you can also grow your own grass and purchase the required amount of seed direct from Garden Turf Supplies.
Either call us or use the contact us form with details of your order. We can call you back and help you figure out how much you will need for your specific job.
Buy Lawn Seed Online to Establish an Inexpensive Lawn
1. Cost: Gardeners choose to buy lawn seed online due to the low cost of seed in comparison to turf. Seed will cost at least a few times less than turf, and in some cases the price can differ by as much as ten times or more.
2. Time Involved: The main advantage of using turf is that it allows for an instant grass cover. All you need to do is level the ground, lay a layer of topsoil (optional), apply a fertilizer, work the fertilizer into the soil, and lay the turf on top. If you buy lawn seed online, you would need months to prepare for sowing it. Moreover, turf can be laid at anytime, while seed is best sowed in the summer or autumn.
3. Grass Species: Turf comes as a mix of several grasses chosen by the manufacturer. Thus, you may be limited in the selection of the exact species for your lawn. It is possible to order custom turf from the manufacturer, but this will cost more and require you to wait. If you buy lawn seed online, you will be able to choose the exact grass species that you want to grow.
4. Weeds and Disease: A poorer quality turf, such as meadow turf, can import a number of weeds and disease into your garden. This will never happen if you choose to buy lawn seed online instead.
Before you buy lawn seed online, try to educate yourself on what exactly is involved in establishing a lawn from seed. Following is a brisk outline of what you may have to do.
First of all, you will need to determine the type of seed that would be best for your area. Grasses have different properties. Some of them grow best in shade while others in the sun. Some are greener while others are less green. Some are more durable while others are soft. It makes sense to know the properties of the common lawns grasses, to ensure that you get the right one when you buy lawn seed online.
Also, grasses have varying sowing rates, which are determined by the following: species sown (bents, fescues, ryegrass), the required quality of the lawn, field loss factor (due to rain, wind, or birds), and others. In general, the higher the required lawn quality is, the more accurate the sowing rate calculations should be.When you buy lawn seed online, you will need to prepare the site. Site preparations include: removing weeds, preparing the seed bed (leveling, obtaining soil crumb), and applying a fertilizer. Sowing is best done in the late summer or early autumn, when the soil is warm and moist.

If you have or know a solar project, please submit it to us for consideration as a featured project using Submit an Item. http://www.solaripedia.com/302/submit-an-item.html
by Geoff Williams, AOL Small Business, 2010 - Paul Hoffman collaborated with three nuns in Wisconsin to construct the Holy Wisdom Monastery, which will eventually become 100 percent sustainable. Paul Hoffman has made something of a niche business building buildings that serve the community. Instead of skyscrapers or department stores, Hoffman specializes in constructing YMCAs, religious buildings, health-care clinics, and schools. In other words, he builds the backdrops that are known as Americana, the type of places Norman Rockwell would have felt comfortable painting. And it's quite possible Rockwell may have done just that at some point -- Hoffman LLC is a fifth-generation business that's been around since 1892. But it's his company's latest project, the Holy Wisdom Monastery, that has been generating rave reviews. The facility is now the greenest monastery in the nation, and was designed to eventually generate 100 percent of the energy needed for its operation, meaning its carbon footprint will be zero.
"We weren't aware that we were going to build a monastery that has the highest platinum rating" -- a high Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design score from the U.S. Green Building Council -- says Sister Mary David Walgenbach, the monastery's prioress, and one of the three nuns who worked closely with Hoffman. "But it was very important to us to build this in a way that would take care of the Earth and use less energy."
Hoffman is quick to praise the sisters' vision -- and points out that sustainable buildings generally do not cost more to build or operate, despite a popular misconception. It's something, he says, that every entrepreneur today should consider.
So is this the first monastery that you've built?
Well, we've worked with 25 women's religious orders, like the Congregation of Sisters of St. Agnes Motherhouse in Fond du Lac, Wis., the Holy Cross Sisters Office in Merill, Wis., and the Sisters of the Humility of Mary in Villa Maria, Pa. But there's been no other project quite as unique and as worthy of attention as this project has been, because of the multifaceted storyline. If you think about it, three nuns choosing to do something very ambitious and forward-thinking, and then to be able not only to achieve a high sustainable rating -- the highest possible for any new construction -- and to do it for a very low cost with a building that's only 30,000 square feet.... I wish I could take credit for all the great decisions that were made, but when we started off, we started with relatively simple criteria for decision-making that were developed by the sisters.
And what are some of the energy-efficient highlights you're proud of?
Prior to building this, we had to tear down the old structure -- a 60,000-square-foot, five-story building -- and 99.75 percent of that building and all the construction waste on the product was recycled and reused and diverted from the landfill. Forty percent of all landfill comes from construction waste, so if you think of being able to divert all but 0.25 percent of that from the landfill, and if that could be done on a consistent basis, think what an impact that would have for the world. You have to build a discipline within your workers, though, and one of the tricks we've learned over the years is that the dumpster, where the materials go to the landfill, has to be placed at the absolute farthest point that it can be from the building, and all of the recyclable containers should be near the building.
Now, as for some of the exciting things with the monastery, the windows provide ample natural light to 85 percent of the regularly occupied spaces. It's very uplifting as you walk into the building -- there's a lot of spaciousness and natural light, and many of the windows are operable to provide natural ventilation and reduce the need for air conditioning. Four rain barrels collect and store water for plant care, and there are two rain gardens. Bamboo, which is a rapidly renewable resource, was used for the flooring in the assembly, gathering and dining rooms, and for the ceiling of the oratory and meditation chapel. It's kind of like walking into nature, in a very refined and beautiful way, and the courage the sisters had to do this.
The sisters took a big risk in some ways, starting this project around the time that the stock market took a nosedive. Sister Mary David said that this was a very green project in a very red economy, and I think the courage to make that decision was very important. Which isn't to say that this cost more than a non-green building would have.
Really? Isn't the conventional wisdom that it costs substantially more to build a "green" building, in part because so many alternative energy methods aren't being mass produced?
It's really a myth that it costs more to be sustainable. The problem is that most people don't have the knowledge to know the difference between cost-effective sustainable solutions and solutions that aren't cost-effective. So if I were going to give advice to any business owners who want a sustainable, energy-efficient building, I'd say that you really should do your homework to understand a builder's track record and approach to sustainability solutions -- and I'm not talking about just the process, but also the results. When we look at a project, I don't care what it is, we ask how your business is going to be better when you're done than when you started. And if we don't have the answer to that question, we'll talk people out of projects. It's tough to say no to anything in this economy, but we pay a great attention to financial feasibility. (Hoffman LLC designed and built monastery at a cost of just over $7.5 million.)
Salvage and Re-use
Components for the old building were salvaged including the maintenance building that was the lowest level of decommissioned building re-used. The organ was shipped to the Cleveland manufacturer for re-build and re-installation. The former monastery bells were shipped to Cincinnati for re-furbishing and reinstallation. The old walk-in cooler was dismantled, re-sized and reinstalled to store the nuns' site-grown produce. Furniture for the building was stored in 3 semi-trailers during construction and then re-used in the new building. The fireplace mantel from the retreat and guest house was relocated over main entry door of the new building. Even the existing water well was maintained and upgraded to serve all buildings. In addition, all telephone and computer networks, fiber-optics, repeaters and switches were re-used, as well as a backup generator and electric and phone mains. Outdoors, seeds and plants were taken from the existing restored prairie and used for native landscaping on site.
In all, 99.75 percent of the deconstruction of the old building was diverted from the landfill; nine tons was donated to Habitat Restore and 8,628.6 tons was either recycled to re-used on-site. Twelve-and-a-half tons went to the landfill.
A living tradition of care at Holy Wisdom
In 1953, Benedictine Women of Madison set down roots on a hill overlooking Lake Mendota and the skyline of Madison, Wisconsin. The original 40 acres consisted of farmland cleared in the early 1900s. Today, Holy Wisdom Monastery (formerly Saint Benedict Center) includes 130 acres with a 10,000-year-old glacial lake, wooded nature trails, restored prairie, gardens and orchards. Reverence for creation is a deeply-held Benedictine value.
Lost Lake
Lost Lake lies at the western boundary of Holy Wisdom Monastery. Originally more than nine acres in surface area, the basin had been reduced to less than two acres due to sedimentation from surrounding farming practices and residential development. Eighty-five thousand cubic yards of accumulated silt have been removed from the lake and the shoreline restored with native plants. Restored to near its original depth, the lake again acts as a natural deterrent that detains and filters water that would otherwise wash downstream to neighboring properties and Lake Mendota. More than 200 acres of land drain into Lost Lake.
Upland Prairie
When settlers arrived in Wisconsin in the early 1800s, prairie covered more than two million acres of the state. Today, fewer than 3,500 acres of prairie remain. The Benedictine sisters believe this land is a gift of natural beauty to be shared with all who come to Holy Wisdom Monastery and so are returning much of their land to pre-settlement conditions. Prairie restoration activities began in 1996 and continue each year. To date, 95 acres have been restored to upland prairie with donated seed or seed collected by volunteers and college interns. Each year, 10 to 20 acres were hand sown with a large variety of native Wisconsin prairie flowers and grasses. These plants have long, deep root systems which prevent soil erosion. This project received the Wisconsin Business Friend of the Environment Award in 1998.
Detention Basin
A detention basin was created on the eastern side of the property; a soil berm was built below the natural grass waterway. Prairies can absorb 5–7 inches of rain within an hour. The structure can hold, purify and slowly release 10.5 acre-feet of water, providing a key part of the environmental protection of the north shore of Lake Mendota. In recognition of these environmental efforts, this wetland preserve was made a Lake Mendota Priority Watershed Demonstration Project.
Holy Wisdom Monastery is a "living laboratory" for students and environmentalists. Every summer since 1999, university students have interned in environmental restoration at Holy Wisdom Monastery, gaining invaluable hands-on training to supplement their classroom education. Students of all grade levels frequently join the interns on-site to learn and work together. Area environmentalists benefit from the bountiful prairie and the monastery's knowledgeable environmental co-workers.

Parking Your Bike in Japan
embedded by Embedded Video
YouTube Direkt
The current focus on urban mobility and public pressures for more environmentally friendly means of transport has unsurprisingly led to the resurgence of cycling. Especially in more densely populated urban areas, it seems almost impossible to travel from point A to point B without encountering some sort of traffic jam or suffocate in a sea of on the go individuals. Sensibly, cycling has allowed urbanites to get to where they need to in a cost and eco-efficient manner. But of course, if you yourself are a cyclist, there's always the constant worry of parking your bike with the chance that it will get stolen or vandalized. So when I came across this video, I thought it was such an innovative and brilliant way that the Japanese have invented to keep their bikes safe.
Essentially, what cyclists have to do is purchase a monthly pass where you will receive a smart card. Whenever you need to park your bike, you just scan your card in the card reader at the machine and the gates will open for you to slide in your bicycle. The bike then gets drawn in much like the mechanics of a car wash whereby the bike will be kept underground. When retrieving the bike, simply just scan the card and the parking tower will roll your bike back out in a matter of seconds. It is capable of securing up to 144 bicycles underground and takes a mere 10 seconds to retrieve.
A more detailed video of how it works can be seen below:

When you're in a city where thousands around are on bikes, it's hard to imagine how the city could provide enough bike stands to accommodate. It's great to see how a city can encourage cycling and make it so much more convenient for the bikers in the area.

As many of you know, I am not really a heavy drinker. But every once in a while I will indulge in cocktails that are weak in the alcohol content. Pina Coladas are just that! These are from The Tomkat Studio, where you can mix in Seagram's Escapes to make colorful coladas perfect for Independence Day!
Blue Colada:
4 oz Malibu rum
4 oz cream of coconut
6 oz pineapple juice
Add all ingredients to blender and fill with ice. Blend until smooth, adding ice as needed until desired thickness. Pour into glasses 3/4 full, then pour 3 oz-4 oz of Seagram's "Calypso Colada" Escapes on top.
For the Red Colada, follow the recipe for the Blue Colada but use Seagram's "Strawberry Daiquiri" Escapes instead.
Don't forget to make these super cute with swizzle straws and cherries. If you happen to be more of a baker for the holidays, then be sure to make these incredible Patriotic Pudding Cups!

While the TEC, Advent and Vasari are embroiled in their own struggles for survival a new threat has emerged, intent on spreading it's infectious plague throughout the universe. The sickening ruthlessness in which entire populations are infected or destroyed is alarming to the TEC, Advent and Vasari alike. If the Plague wasn't enough they were immediately followed yet another race calling themselves the Nephilim. The initial encounter with the "Nephilim" held promise they would unite in defeating the Plague. However, Initial attempts at diplomacy have failed as the Nephilim seem single purposed in their pursuit of the Plague.

A return to winning form at home is what Rotherham Titans' coach Lee Blackett is demanding of his players, who take on the vastly improved Nottingham at Clifton Lane tomorrow.
After losing their last two games in front of their own fans, Rotherham, who have dropped to fifth in the league, must make use of home advantage if they are to regain a top four position which they must achieve to compete in the promotion play-offs.
So a win tomorrow and then next Saturday when Rotherham are again at home against Bedford, is essential.
Blackett, highly satisfied with many aspects of the victory against Doncaster, is expected to make a couple of changes to the side.
Hooker Tom Cruse will start now that his red card has been rescinded and there will have to be a change in the backs following a knee injury to centre Joel Gill who will be out of action for a month.
Other than Gill's injury, Rotherham have a clean bill of health which means that forward Jack Preece, who suffered a bang to the head at Castle Park on Sunday, is available having passed medicals this week.
Winger Craig Dowsett, who withdrew shortly before kick off at Doncaster, is now ready to be included in the Titans' squad to face a Nottingham side that has leaped into third place in the Championship.
"Nottingham deserve to be where they are, they have a strong line out and driving maul and a good attack," says Blackett.
"This is going to be one tough battle for us. Nottingham are well coached and have dangerous players.
"I was disappointed with some of our execution against Doncaster in the second half when we struggled to get the ball in hand.
"Our line out didn't function well for much of the second half, but when you look at the possession stats we dominated and I was satisfied with our attack in the opening 50 minutes."
Rotherham will be chasing their seventh win in 11 league matches and will be relieved to have Cruse back because he is such an important forward who has the knack of scoring tries.
If Nottingham are to be beaten, two Irish players, who are match winners, must again reproduce their form which has been consistently good in the Championship so far.
Winger Michael Keating, the Titans' top try scorer with five, needs to repeat his ability to seize opportunities that was evident at Doncaster, and fly half James McKinney, who had a 100 per cent kicking record at Castle Park, must be just as accurate; the Ulster number 10 now has 87 points in the Championship-one try, 11 conversions, nine penalties and one drop goal.
Rotherham Titans from: Scanlon, Keating, Dowsett, Hayes, Davies, White, Mitchell, McKinney, Barrett, Hislop, Cruse, Tampin, Gadd, Macklin, Matthews, Parker, Holmes, Maddison, Thomas, Rieder, Argyle, Preece, Birch, Ryan, Morris, Thiede.

I have always been looking for a hobby.
Eric has even told me I need to find a hobby.
While I was snowed in over spring break I started reading more blogs. It was fun... many times one blog leads to another blog. Some blogs made me laugh, some blogs made me cry... but they give you a peak into someone else life and their perspective on things.
As I was enjoying my time reading I started thinking that maybe blogging and photography (digital, amateur, of course) could be my new hobby. I have always loved to write and I LOVE to take photos of Kate... so maybe this is the perfect hobby for me.
I hope you enjoy what's to come!

Hello there! Some of you may remember a project I did about garbage accumulation in the oceans, here ! Anyways, I was e-mailed about this wonderful grafic to share how badly pollution has affected the ocean and its inhabitants. People seem to think that it doesn't affect them directly but it does, you pollute the oceans, the fish eats the pollution, fisherman catch the fish, you eat the fish.. so you are basically eating garbage.
I'm not trying to do a vegan propaganda, far from it, because if people stop eating fish then maybe they won't care about this issue. I love animals and any living thing and I think we owe it to the world to make a difference..

I don't want to incriminate myself with many details but let's just say it has something to do with a very improper use of a right-hand turn lane - and its associated highway entry lane. I was awake and alert and I had a huge sight-line; traffic to my left was packed but to my right there wasn't anything, not even on the road on the perpendicular. Was it safe at that moment? I guess technically it was - I'm here after all, and nobody else got hurt or injured. Does that mean it's still safe? Hell no.
So why did I do it? Because a guy ahead of me was trying to box me in (or maybe not - I simply don't know) and something just clicked on my mind - there as an opportunity and I seized it. But it wasn't an opportunity for seizing in the first place. It was simply illegal and exactly the type of thing that wouldn't qualify me for Nationwide safe driving discounts (yeah I'm watching the commercial as I type this). Either way, I didn't want to escalate any more potential road-rage so I simply took another route home to completely avoid the guy boxing me in. Incidentally, in the process I discovered a faster route home anyway.
I suppose I should feel happy that that was the most reckless thing I can remember doing on the road, but it doesn't excuse what I did. I think the lesson I'm going to take from this is to modify my commute routine so hopefully I won't feel so frustrated or a pressing need for, what we call in the aviation industry "get-home-itis" and be tempted to seize such "opportunities" in the future.
What about you, OppoLock? I know at least some of you have tried some risky behavior. You don't have to give all the details because we're not incriminating anyone here - but feel free to confess all your road sins here.

Roof & Rack is a proud member of the United States Green Building Council. We work consciously to improve our products' environmental friendliness and quality, in order to make it easier for many of our clients to receive the LEED credit points necessary for certification.
Nearly all of our structural and sub-structural steel is recycled, while up to 60% of our metal wall and roof panels are comprised from recycled material.
A number of our metal wall and roof panels are available as ENERGY STAR compliant (approved colors)
We work hand in hand with members of the Cool Roof Rating Council (CRRC)
Our metal structures require lower amounts of maintenance
Green-conscious Metal Roofing can save significantly on energy costs in those regions of which this is a considerable factor
Why seek out LEED certification?
LEED certification provides independent, third-party verification that a building project meets the highest green building and performance measures. All certified projects receive a LEED plaque, which is the nationally recognized symbol demonstrating that a building is environmentally responsible, profitable and a healthy place to live and work.
There are both environmental and financial benefits to earning LEED certification.
LEED-certified buildings:
• Lower operating costs and increased asset value.
• Reduce waste sent to landfills.
• Conserve energy and water.
• Healthier and safer for occupants.
• Reduce harmful greenhouse gas emissions.
• Qualify for tax rebates, zoning allowances and other incentives in hundreds of cities.
• Demonstrate an owner's commitment to environmental stewardship and social responsibility.

Women just aren't drinking enough beer.
Or at least that's the conclusion of brewers in the UK, who, according to the Wall Street Journal, have decided to actively court females with new beers.
But are these efforts misguided? Recently Guinness introduced Guinness Red, a beer that is sweeter and doesn't have as strong an aroma as Guinness's traditional stout. According to the article,
At O'Neill's pub in central London, few women have tried Guinness Red because they don't know it is different than the traditional version, says manager Frank Donlon. 'Advertising would help explain that it's like a watered-down Guinness,' he says. 'A TV ad would be good.'
Mmmmm. Watered-down Guinness.
Women apparently also like their beer sweeter than men. Coors's Blue Moon is targeted to women in the UK (although primarily drunk by men in the U.S.) and served with an orange slice "to accentuate its fruity taste." Coors encourages bartenders to experiment with how they serve the orange slice, resulting in one pub coating it in brown sugar before hanging it off the side of a beer glass. As a woman and a beer drinker, I say keep your brown sugar far away from my ale.

Residents of Michigan hurt in a Florida auto accident do have legal rights. The first claim a Michigan resident may be able to file is for no-fault insurance benefits. This is a tremendous advantage as no-fault insurance benefits pay for wages lost from work due to resulting injuries, medical expenses, and household chores for example. In addition, a victim can receive these benefits for their lifetime if required.
The second claim is a personal injury claim against the negligent driver for your injuries. These claims are in addition to medical expenses and lost wages and include pain and suffering, disability, and disfigurements. These cases often result in substantial settlements.
To learn what your legal rights are as a Michigan resident hurt in a Florida auto accident, contact our award winning Buckfire & Buckfire, P.C. law firm now at (800) 606-1717. We will provide you with a free, no obligation case review and will represent you under our No Win No Fee Promise, which means no legal fees or costs until we win or settle your case.

It looks amazing, it's a lovely change to feathers.ReplyDelete
So intricate! Lovely work Karen xReplyDelete
What can I say, "you are a star".ReplyDelete
Beautiful! I love doing leaves - more forgiving than feathers. I really like your pebbles too, I tend to make mine more uniform and think I'll try it your way next time - gives it a more interesting look. I've thought many times I need to make samples to show my customers, it's so hard to describe things some times. Now....just to get the time!ReplyDelete
This is very beautiful. You are very good! I hope I can get to be half as good someday.ReplyDelete
I can't even think of words to appropriately describe this little quilt. Your work is so amazing. The leaves are so perfect, and I can't imagine how long it must have taken to quilt all of those pebbles!ReplyDelete
