A Home which saves money
बचत करणारं घर
निसर्गाच्या सानिध्यात घर घेणं प्रत्येकालाच शक्य होतं असं नाही. पण म्हणून तुम्ही अशा गोष्टींपासून वंचित राहावं असंही नाही. काही मुलभूत गोष्टींचा वापर करून आणि दैनंदिन जीवनात थोडेफार बदल करून तुम्ही ऊर्जा आणि कार्यक्षमता वाढवू शकता आणि पर्यावरणावरचा भारही कमी करु शकता. विशेष म्हणजे या सगळ्यासाठी कोणाही तज्ञाची किंवा भरपूर पैशांची अजिबात गरज नाही.
मापळे शेलटर्सच चीफ मॅनेजिन्ग डायरेक्टर सचिन अगरवाल सांगतात की, "आपल्याकडे उपलब्ध असलेली साधनसंपत्ती वाचवण्याची गरज सगळ्यांनाच पटली आहे. म्हणूनच सध्या पर्यावरणाला सहाय्य करणारे इकोफ्रेण्डली प्रोडक्ट्स बाजारात मोठ्या प्रमाणात उपलब्ध होत आहेत. ज्याचा वापर करून आपण अधिक प्रमाणात आपलं घर आणि त्याच्या आजुबाजुचा परिसर 'ग्रीन' ठेवू शकतो."
आपण आपल्या घराचा विचार केल्यास चार प्रमुख भागांकडं लक्ष देणं गरजेचं आहे. प्लम्बिंग, लाईट, पेन्टीग आणि पाणी. पाण्याचा साठा करणं किती महत्त्वपूर्ण आहे, हे आपणाला माहितच आहे. पण पाणी साठवण आणि वापराच्या पद्धतींमध्ये आपण सुधारणा करू शकतो. सर्वप्रथम बाथरूम आणि टॉयलेटमधल्या पाण्याचा दाब कमी करा. असं केल्यास प्रत्येक फ्लशच्या वापरातून आपण दिवसाला अंदाजे १२ ते १५ लिटर पाण्याची बचत करू शकतो.
नळांना एअरेटर (aerator) बसवून घ्या. बाजारात मिळणाऱ्या नवीन नळांना हे एअरेटर सहज बसतात. एअरेटरमुळे पाणी आणि हवा एकत्र नळावाटे बाहेर पडतात त्यामुळे पाण्याचा प्रवाह कमी झाला तरी हवेमुळे त्याचा फ्लो कमी होत नाही. यामुळे पाण्याची मोठ्या प्रमाणात बचत होते. जर जुन्या नळांना एअरेटर बसत नसतील तर ती त्वरीत बदला. कारण एक नळ बदलण्याने कित्येक लिटर पाणी वाचू शकतं.
आपल्या घरातली दुसरी बचतीची गोष्ट म्हणजे वीज. तुम्हाला हे माहित आहे का की ८० टक्क्यांपेक्षा जास्त ऊर्जा ही प्रकाशासाठी नाही तर साध्या लाईट बल्बला गरम करण्यात खर्च होते? विजेचा हा असंतुलित वापर आहे. कारण बल्ब नुसता गरम करण्यात आपला काहीच फायदा नाही. उलट त्यामुळे घरातलं तापमान वाढतं. मग त्यावर उपाय म्हणून आपण फॅन किंवा एसी लावतो. त्यासाठी पुन्हा वीज खर्च होते ती वेगळीच. यावर उपाय म्हणजे सामान्य दर्जाचे बल्ब न वापरता एलईडी बल्ब्सचा वापर करा. ज्यामुळे विजेची बचत होण्यास मदत होईल. वीज बचतीचा हाच एकमेव उपाय आहे असं नाही. पण एलईडी बल्बचा वापर केल्यास वापरण्यात येणाऱ्या वीजेमध्ये दोन तृतियांश वीजेची बचत होते.
आपल्या तुमच्या घराच्या भिंतींना जो रंग दिला जातो त्याचा पर्यावरणाशी आणि आपल्या स्वास्थ्याशी जवळचा संबंध आहे. अनेक घरात कमी दर्जाचे स्वस्त रंग वापरले जातात. त्यातले वॉलटाइल ऑरगॅनिक कम्पाउण्ड्स आणि इतर धोकादायक पदार्थ हळूहळू हवेत मिसळली जातात. परिणामी घरात विषारी हवा खेळती राहते, ज्यामुळे घरातल्या माणसांना अॅलर्जी होण्याची शक्यता असते.
घराला दिलेल्या रंगाच्या वासामुळे दमा किंवा श्वास घेण्यास त्रास होत असेल तर इकोफ्रेण्डली वॉटर पेन्टचा वापर करा किंवा नो व्हीओसी (volatile organic compound) पेन्ट वापरा. सध्याच्या सगळ्या मॉर्डन पेन्ट स्टोअर्समध्ये अशा प्रकारचे पेन्ट उपलब्ध असतात. दुकानात गेल्यावर अशा प्रकारच्या पेन्टचीच मागणी करा. कोणत्याही पेन्टरच्या बोलण्यावर विश्वास ठेवू नका.
जर आपण घर पर्यावरणाला हानी पोहचवणाऱ्या गोष्टींपासून दूर ठेवलं तर आपल्या आजुबाजुलाही असे अनेक पर्याय दिसतील जे आपल्या परीसरासाठी, पर्यावरणासाठी आणि ऊर्जा बचतीसाठी हितकारक असतील. वर सांगितलेल्या काही उपायांप्रमाणे असे अजून अनेक पर्याय आहेत, ज्याने आपण विजेची बचत करू शकतो. जसं विण्डो फ्रेम्स बदलून त्या अधिक घट्ट बसतील अशा घ्या. जेणेकरून बाहेरील सूर्यप्रकाश खिडक्यांच्या फटीतून आत शिरणार नाही आणि एसीची हवा ही बाहेर जाणार नाही. यामुळे वीजेची बचत होईल. तसंच उन्हाच्या तीव्रतेचं प्रमाण कमी करण्यासाठी सिन्थेटिक पडद्यांऐवजी नैसर्गिक फायबरचे पडदे वापरा. शेवटी पर्यावरणाचं संवर्धन करणं हे आपलंच कर्तव्य आहे. त्यासाठी शोधलेले हे अनेक पर्याय.
Not everyone was able to take home sanidhyata of nature. But you would not live deprived of such things. Using some basic things, and you can increase the power and efficiency by changing something in daily life and can reduce paryavaranavaraca bharahi. It does not need a lot of money or whatever or whomever expert for all.
Mapale selatarsaca Chief menejinga Director Sachin Agarwal explains, "You have convinced everyone needs to save resources available. So are currently available in large quantities in the market Products ikophrendali to aid the environment. Can be used by one more of our home and around the campus 'green' can keep. "
If you think your house is important to give attention to the four major bhagankadam. Plumbing, light, and water pentiga. How important is it to the water supply, it is you know. But the difference in water storage and use, you can improve. Reduce the first bathroom and toyaletamadhalya water pressure. If you can not use flush every liter of water savings of approximately 15 to 12 per day.
Nalanna earetara (aerator) take their seats. Sit easily earetara this new market will nalanna. Earetaramule sets out nalavate together so that the flow of water does not reduce the flow of water and air havemule when it was low. This saves large amounts of water. If you do not fit the old nalanna earetara that quickly changed. For many liters of water in a pipe can read the change.
Another thing is that your family in power savings. If you do not have the energy to light more than 80 per cent of the simple light bulb is heated to know the cost? This is the unbalanced use of electricity. Because the bulb does not use anything to your hot remark. But the gains of mandatory temperature. And as you burn AC or fan control measures. The cost of the electricity that was different. The solution is to use balbsaca LED bulb without the use of a common class. Which will help to save electricity. Electricity savings is not the only solution. But two-thirds of the electricity savings in electricity used if you use the LED bulb.
Which is given to the color of your walls in your house is the closest relationship to environment and your health. Many colors are used in low quality. And other dangerous substances are put volataila Organic kampaundsa gradually merged into the air. Resulting in toxic air remains aeration, which is expected to house people allergies.
Which may be difficult to color vasamule asthma or shortness of breath if ikophrendali house Penta Water Use or No vhiosi (volatile organic compound) paint use. Currently, all types of paint are available in Modern paint stores. Ask pentacica the last such shop. Do not trust any of pentara word.
If you kept away from pohacavanarya damage to your home environment ajubajulahi many options to see which of your campus, and the environment will be conducive to save energy. Some said that there are many options on upayampramane, that you can save electricity. Learn more tight places such as window frames and changing. In the sunlight outside the door so that no siranara will not be out of the windows and air esici. This will also save electricity. Use natural fiber padadyamaivaji synthetic curtains to reduce the heat as well tivratecam rate. Finally, it is the duty of apalanca to environmental conservation. They searched for many options.

I openly embraced her visit and in turn she came with a sunny attitude and this gorgeous orchid.
Part of the reason for her visit was to check on the overall attitude of the kitchen designer and installer.
How happy was I to share my new kitchen and a glowing report on the kitchen crew who were dedicated to making this dream kitchen a reality.
How is your attitude?
Does it need some motivation or an adjustment?

WOKY-AM changes to all sports talk format
WOKY-AM (920) announced that it is switching to an all-sports talk format, effective Monday.
The Clear Channel station currently plays classic country music. Calling itself The Big 920, the new format is simulcasting the Clear Channel station WTSO-AM in Madison.
The station will feature: Mike Lucas and Matt Lepay, voices of University of Wisconsin football and basketball, from 6 to 8 a.m.; the syndicated shows of Dan Patrick at 8 a.m. and actor-comedian Jay Mohr at 11 a.m.; the voice of UW hockey, Brian Posick, at 2 p.m.; Mike Heller at 3 p.m.; NBC Sports host Erik Kuselias at 6 p.m.; and retired New York Giant Amani Toomer and Mad Dog Radio anchor Eytan Shander at 9 p.m.
The station also will air Monday, Sunday and Thursday night NFL football, the Super Bowl, the NCAA tournament and NASCAR.
The switch will give Milwaukee three sports-talk stations - not counting WTMJ-AM (620) and its coverage of the Green Bay Packers, Milwaukee Brewers and Milwaukee Bucks - and will presumably answer the question: How much sports talk is too much sports talk?
Currently, the highest-rated sports talk station WSSP-AM (1250), owned by the national Entercom chain, has a 1.0 share of the Milwaukee radio audience. The second-highest, WAUK-AM (540), owned by Wisconsin-based Good Karma Broadcasting, has 0.9. They were respectively ranked 23rd and 24th in the market in the December Arbitron survey.
Meaning that the sports format on WOKY, which previously was ranked 26th in the market with a 0.7 share, will be competing with them for less than a 2.0 share of the audience.

iD Gum Celebrates Teens' Individuality and Creativity
Stride Gum, a brand of another newly renamed food company, Mondelez International (formerly half of Kraft Foods) rolls out iD Gum, which celebrates teens' creativity and thirst for discovery and individuality in three flavors: Peppermint, BerryMelon and Spearmint.
Packaged in a sleek, innovative, folding pack featuring a new and unexpected magnetic closure, iD Gum is delivered in a semi-transparent cellophane wrapper that hints at what's inside the pack. Once unwrapped, the pack reveals original artwork sourced from young emerging artists from around the world. There are 18 designs in total -- so the more you chew, the more you discover.
The makers of iD Gum know that today's teens are seeking inspiration to discover and explore their multiple passions and by embodying a "kinda" mentality (kinda more than gum; kinda amazing). This gum is designed to accompany them on that journey. The core of the iD Gum brand focuses on the teen experience, believing it's better to explore individuality by staying open-minded rather than define themselves with a single identity. Launch event guests experienced both the brand's online ArtCade gaming experience and a display of the unique pack art in a real-life kinda-arcade, kinda-art gallery atmosphere.
ArtCade is a mind-blowing arcade experience featuring 18 free online games on iD's Facebook page and Android (coming soon to iOS). Four games launched on Sept. 17, and new games are released every Tuesday (unless unlocked early by collecting and scanning the on-pack artwork). Games include everything from dropping T-shirts on dinosaurs (T-Rex in V-Necks) to collecting sunblock bottles to avoid becoming toast (Ginger Ninja), and countering a sensei's attacks to prevent him from revealing too much (Censored Sensei).
"Today's teens are really looking for that emotional connection with their brands and are hungry for new ways to explore and display their creativity and individuality," says Stephanie Wilkes, vice president of North American confections. "The uniqueness of iD Gum -- from the artwork to the packaging to its online gaming experience – takes discovery and personal expression to a whole new level."
Suggested retail price is $1.49 for the single pack and $3.29 for the multi-pack.

Body 4 Life Workout Record for HanDBase - This applet was originally based on a previous submission but I've extended it significantly to allow you to track your RM (Repetition Maximum) values for each exercise (1-6-12 RM) as you progress. This is helpful to maintain workouts at your maximum efficency. You can also add as many additional exercises into the exercise groups as you need. There are four database files that use Relationship and Linked fields to gain the maximum value from the applet. I have loaded the exercises database with the standard Body4Life exercises plus a few extra. You can add as many as you wish including cardio exercises which are also important in the B4L program. The Program database is the entry point where you define the workout for the day (upper, lower body or cardio) and build a workout for each muscle group in the upper /lower body group. I have left some data in the RepMax database so you can see the Relationship fields in action. Once you have a new RM value you can jump through the Relationship field to the RepMax database and add new values. The third database (exercises) contains all the exercises and related information such as tempo, description etc... There is now a 4th DB used to set the current date allowing the calculation of days since last exercise within a group. This is useful in balancing your exercises over the longer term. I also have developed a paper form that works with this if you're a little squeamish about taking your PDA into the fitness areas.

Raleigh 2012 road launch
Plus Uvex's new glasses and helmets
For 2012 Raleigh have taken the hugely successful RSP carbon framesets of last year, tweaked the details, shaved a little weight and delivered two new SP bikes plus a brand new Pro level frame as used by Team Raleigh in this year's Tour of Britain.
Raleigh SP Comp
Entry into the RSP – Raleigh Special Products – composite line up comes with the SP Comp. The frame follows the same lines as the more expensive Race, sharing all but the bottom bracket shell. The Comp uses a standard BSA with the Race getting an oversized BB30 type. Up front the head tube has a tapered design from 1-1/8in expanding to a 1-1/2in lower stack. The carbon fork has a little more rake than the Pro level frameset.
We rode both bikes back to back over a series of laps at Hog Hilll race circuit, with the SP Comp having a more stable almost relaxed handling compared to the razor sharp Team edition. The frame is also impressively smooth and we think it'd be a great mile eater perfect for sportive duties.
Component wise it's a mix of Shimano 105 (shifters and mechs) with a non-series R600 compact chainset (50/34) combined with a 12-27 cassette – that makes for a very climb friendly combo. The finishing kit for 2012 is also upgraded over last year with a full complement of ITM for the bars, stem, and seat post. This is a collaboration stemming from Raleigh's pro team, as is the colour coordinated San Marco Concor saddle. The wheels are a decent package too at this price being Shimano's great budget RS10's shod with Schwalbe Durano tyres.
This all adds up to a bike that weighs in at an impressive 8.4kg for the complete bike. At a price of £1450 and from our first riding impressions, we think Raleigh may well be onto a winner with the Comp.
Raleigh SP Race
The £1950 SP Race was a top five race bike in Cycling Plus's 2011 Bike of the Year, and the upgrades for 2012 whilst still maintaining the price means they could be a front runner for 2012 too. With a frame that's lost a few grams, increased in rigidity and gained a quality all carbon ITM Ursa fork it certainly looks very promising.
The BB30 bottom bracket has a standard 53/39 FSA Energy chain set fitted with the remainder of the drive train, shifters and brakes all coming from Shimano's excellent Ultegra line. New Shimano RS30 wheels shod with Schwalbe Duranos complete the main constituents. ITM again provide the bar, stem and seat post and the same great San Marco saddle as the Comp.
With its standard gearing and lesser weight (8.1kg) the Race is aimed to do just that, go quickly and get their fast. Our first ride certainly bore this out with a snappier, sharper feel to the Comp, but still a very nice place to be comfort wise.
Raleigh SP Team
For 2012 the Pro level SP Team gains another model, aside from the Dura Ace equipped £3900 flagship we'll also see an Ultegra equipped version for £2450 – that's complete Ultegra even down to the wheel set. The full team model gets a full complement of Dura-Ace, RS Eighty wheels, and ITM carbon bars, stem and seat post. The San Marco Concor saddle is a specially produced for Raleigh team edition with full colour coordinated finish.
The real story of the Team though is the frameset. It's totally new from the ground up. Up front the tapered 1-1/8in to 1-1/2in head tube holds a high modulus all carbon fork with a shorter offset and impressive rigidity. In the saddle this makes for an aggressive handling bike which feels nimble through the corners, responds instantly to input and feels impressively taught when honking on the bars out of the saddle. It's response to pedal input is just as sharp as the front end too. On closer inspection that's no surprise with the broadening seat tube meeting the oversized down tube culminating in a huge bottom bracket shell supported huge 2in deep chain stays.
Weight is kept down despite all this oversized design with some neat touches like the full carbon drop-outs and slim seat stays. The all up weight of our test ride was an impressive 7.1kg.
Raleigh Aura
A first for Raleigh for 2012 is this new value priced women's specific road bike. The £650 Aura features a butted aluminium frame and carbon fork. In comes in three sizes with a shorter top tube and taller head tube to suit female riders. The frame is also designed with ample clearance for full mudguards, making it a great option for commuting or winter riding duties. Gearing is handled with Shimano's Sora, complete with a compact Sora chain set. A women's specific San Marco Glamour saddle and compact drop RSP bars add to the women's specific finish.
Weighing in at a touch over 10kg it's no lightweight, but right on the button for the price.
Raleigh Airlite 300
For 2012 the entry level Airlite range has seen one huge update to the shared frame platform: a switch to fully butted frames, while retaining guard clearance and a full complement of eyelets. That means the budget Raleighs have seen a significant drop in weight (10kg complete bike) and also a claimed much improved ride.
The £850 Airlite 300 is specced with Shimano's new and very promising Tiagra 10 speed, now very close to 105's performance level. Raleigh's own RSP component line of bar, stem, and seat post topped with a San Marco Spid saddle adds to a build and a Rigida Flyer/Formula wheel set shod with 25mm Schwalbe Lugano tyres completes what looks to be a competitively priced package.
Raleigh Airlite 400
The 400 has also been on a diet for 2012, losing the best part of half a kilo to tip the scales at 9.7kg. Aside from gaining the updated alloy frame the 400 also gains a 105 drive train, R600 shimano compact chain set and Shimano's R500 wheel set and updated carbon fork. The remaining finishing kit is as with the 300, and with a price of £975 we'll see a great package at a Cycle to Work scheme friendly price.
Uvex updates helmets and glasses for 2012
SGL202 glasses
Winner of a design award at this year's Eurobike show, Uvex's all-new SGL202 sunglasses have a lightweight minimal frame with highly flexible arms and grippy rubberised earpieces. The nose bridge is fully adjustable and the lens now features an updated version of the Variomatic UVEX lens, the light sensitive photochromatic change is now quicker than before and works just as fast in cold of hot temperatures (previous photochromatic lenses can be affected by extremes in temperature). The 202 is available in six frame colour options and retails for £119.99.
Crow Pro
The classic Uvex Crow Pro (£129.99) is now available in two widths, standard and small and with a choice of lenses. Including a new Variomatic (as per the SGL202) and a with a degrade tint (darker at the top than at the bottom) which it's claimed offers straight on glare protection and a clearer view.
The Sphere (£99.99) follows a similar shape to the SGL202 and shares the same Variomatic lens technology. The curve is more pronounced than the 202 but UVEX have designed the lens to be distortion free throughout even with this deeply curved shape.
Ultrasonic helmet
This new £89.99 road helmet tips the scales at around 240g, that's light for a helmet of this price. It follows the design of the FP1, as worn by Mark Cavendish, though the Ultrasonic has a little more substance and material out back. Adjusted with UVEX's IAS cradle, this not only adjusts horizontally, but also vertically too. The core features an inner cage so in the event of a crash the energy is dispersed throughout the structure and not concentrated in one place.
The updated Uvex XPCC is Germany's best selling mountain bike lid. With 16 decent sized vents and plenty of rear coverage the XPCC looks to offer plenty of protection, whilst still keeping the weight down to a very impressive 260g.
The i-Vo is Uvex's new budget road helmet. At £39.99 it still manages to pack in plenty of features. Large vents help keep the weight down for a budget lid. It still features Uvex's dial adjusting IAS cradle, and in moulded shell and removable peak. Meeting all international safety standards is impressive for such a lowly priced lid, and it's a good looking helmet too.

Police: 2 suspects in custody in deadly San Antonio mall shooting
Texas police report that one suspect is dead and the other has been arrested
Texas police report that one suspect is dead and the other has been arrested
San Antonio police say two suspects are in custody after a robbery inside a shopping mall ended in a shooting that left one man dead and several injured.
In a statement early Monday, police say both suspects face preliminary charges of capital murder and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
The robbery happened Sunday afternoon at a jewelry store inside Rolling Oaks Mall. Police Chief William McManus said Sunday that one of the suspects fatally shot a "good Samaritan" who tried to stop them as they fled the store.
Authorities say two other people were shot and two women suffered non-shooting injuries.
One suspect was shot by an individual who had a licensed concealed handgun. Police say that suspect is hospitalized in critical condition.
Officials say the second suspect was later arrested in nearby Converse.
"There was a fatality," McManus said. "One of the citizens who tried to intervene and stop the robbery, the robbers from escaping, was shot by one of the suspects."
McManus said he did not know if the two citizens who intervened were there together, or if they just happened to be there at the same time.
The mall has been locked down, but McManus said everyone who is still in the mall is secure and safe.
Emergency scanners reported multiple police units were dispatched to the mall, located on the northeast side of the city. The San Antonio Fire Department active incidents page reported at least 28 units responded to the mall's address as of 3:30 p.m.
Maggie Hernandez was with her daughter Tera, 18, at the mall when they heard of the shooting. "It was scary," said Tera, who had been crying as they escaped the mall.
"We started running out, too. You don't want to be caught inside," said Maggie Hernandez.They the huddled with a group of Dillard's employees behind a car outside, terrified.
"It's a learning experience right?" said Maggie. "If you have this experience, then either hide or find a nearest exit."
This report will be updated as more information becomes available.

When I was 15, I gained 20 lbs in a matter of months. The reason I gained so much weight so fast was simple. After breaking up with my boyfriend, I started eating like a pig. By May I looked like a total slob—and swimwear season was coming! I was miserable.
Meanwhile, my ex was parading around with his new girlfriend. Of course she was thin, which made me even more upset. But there was nothing I could do about it except continue stuffing my face.
One day, as I was drowning my sorrows in yet another pint of ice cream, I overheard my friend Cheryl (not her real name) talking to her cousin. Cheryl was thin, too. "It's so easy," she was saying. "Whenever you feel full, or when you feel guilty about eating pizza or"—she glanced at me—"ice cream, just go to the bathroom and throw up. You'll feel light again."
Her cousin and I stared at her in disgust. "That's stupid, Cheryl," I said. I thought, "You just can't throw up whenever you want."
Or can you?
The answer to my question came as soon as I finished dinner that night. Cheryl's words—"you'll feel light again"—stuck in my head as I went into the bathroom. I stared at the toilet for at least 10 minutes before I did anything. I leaned over the toilet bowl slowly, hearing the laughter coming from the living room, where my family was watching TV.
I stuck one finger down my throat. Nothing happened. I stuck a second, then a third, and then it all came rushing out of me. It was not the easiest thing in the world, but Cheryl was right. I felt light and empty, and I wasn't even hungry! My summer might not be that bad after all.
That's how I began my "little phase," as I like to call it. Every day, after dinner, I'd slip into the bathroom. I'd run the water in the tub so no one could hear what I was doing. Then I'd hurl away. The guilt I had about overeating left me along with the food.
After two weeks of this I looked at the scale. All I had lost was a ridiculous 4 lbs. Four pounds! I cried myself to sleep that night, fearing the worst—that I would be fat forever. Was that possible? With so many thin and beautiful women in the world, why couldn't I be like them?
I wasn't going to let myself stay fat and horrible so everyone could laugh at me. I started throwing up after every single meal, big or small, although most of them were huge. My "little habit" made it easier for me to eat all the food I wanted, because it would soon be gone anyway. I would eat five or six slices of pizza, sometimes more, plus ice cream by the ton, cookies, cakes, everything I could get my hands on. After each feast, I'd head for the bathroom.
After another two weeks, I looked at the scale again, and I'd lost 10 lbs! I was so happy, especially since everybody started paying me compliments about the way I looked. Cheryl was right. It was so easy.
Then, in late June, I noticed the bruises. Large black and blue marks were covering my arms and legs, and I had no idea how or why I was getting them. I also realized that I was in pain. My right side was killing me all the time and I had to lie down a lot. My period stopped for a while. And I started to have frequent bad dreams. I would wake up in a cold sweat, wondering what was happening to me. A slight fear would run through me, because I didn't know what was wrong, but at that point I didn't really care. I refused to accept that I had a problem. All I wanted was to be as thin as possible.
My "little habit" was affecting my personality as well as my body. I became extremely moody and irritable, and I would constantly yell at my brother and my mom. All I wanted was for them to leave me alone with my food. I would send my mom to the store to buy me something, then I'd eat and eat, and throw up before she got home. I had no social life, no hobbies. My life revolved around my obsession with food.
Still, no one seemed to notice that anything was wrong with me. If they did, they didn't say anything. My friends noticed that I was going to the bathroom all the time, but I'd just make some excuse about being on a water diet.
In July, I heard the news: Cheryl was in the hospital. At first I thought she had an accident or something, but when I called her house, her brother told me the truth. Her mother caught her throwing up and dragged her to the hospital, kicking and screaming.
They found out that she had anorexia nervosa (a disorder in which a person becomes so obsessed with dieting and thinness that she starves herself) and bulimia (when a person follows a pattern of eating a huge amount of food and then throwing up or taking laxatives to get rid of it). Cheryl's weight had dropped down to 85 lbs on a 5'7" frame, but her mom never realized her problem until she caught Cheryl in the act.
My mom went off when she found out. "I don't want you hanging around with that girl anymore! How could her mother not know what was wrong with her?" She continued ranting for about an hour, but I ignored her. My mom didn't realize I had the same problem as Cheryl, and now I knew not to tell her. She would kill me, and I would never hear the end of it.
I sat down and thought about what I was doing to myself, and what was happening to Cheryl. There was no comparison, I told myself. Her problem was way bigger than mine. But then I tried to remember: when was the last time that I ate a decent meal without throwing up afterwards? Almost four months ago. That's when I realized I had a serious problem. That day I decided to quit, because I didn't want to end up like Cheryl.
Stopping was much harder than starting had been. I still remember the first time I sat down to eat dinner after making my decision. Once it was over, I automatically got up to go to the bathroom, but I made myself sit down again. That was probably one of the hardest things I ever had to do.
I decided to go to the doctor, praying that my mother wouldn't have to know. Luckily, my doctor is a very understanding person. She counseled me and gave me a list of healthy things to eat. She gave me her phone number at home so I could call if I had any problems.
By the time I quit making myself throw up, I had lost almost 50 lbs (my goal when I started out was to lose 30). I know I've gained some of it back but I don't look at the scale anymore. My doctor tells me not to. No one really knows about my problem, except my doctor, and I'd like to keep it that way. I know my family and friends couldn't handle it.
It's been almost a year since I stopped, and I feel much better about myself now. My health is much better. I don't have as many mood swings. All the marks and the bad dreams are gone. And my social life is a lot better. Sometimes I still feel that I would like to lose more weight, but my thoughts go back to seeing Cheryl lying on that hospital bed.
After all I went through to have the "ideal body," I can now easily say that it wasn't worth the isolation and the pain. Being thin doesn't mean being happy.

Susan B. Anthony
From Quotes
Love is something eternal; the aspect may change, but not the essence.Vincent Van Gogh
Susan Brownell Anthony (15 February 1820 – 13 March 1906) was a prominent, independent and well educated American civil rights leader who, along with Elizabeth Cady Stanton, led the effort to secure Women's suffrage in the United States.
- The true woman will not be exponent of another, or allow another to be such for her. She will be her own individual self... Stand or fall by her own individual wisdom and strength... She will proclaim the "glad tidings of good news" to all women, that woman equally with man was made for her own individual happiness, to develop... every talent given to her by God, in the great work of life.
- Statement of Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1856), partially quoted in The Right to Vote (2001) by Claudia Isler, p. 50, and in Perfecting the Family : Antislavery Marriages in Nineteenth-Century America (1997) by Chris Dixon, p. 144
- The men and women of the North are slaveholders, those of the South slaveowners. The guilt rests on the North equally with the South.
- Speech on No Union with Slaveholders (1857)
- Cautious, careful people, always casting about to preserve their reputation and social standing, never can bring about a reform. Those who are really in earnest must be willing to be anything or nothing in the world's estimation.
- On the Campaign for Divorce Law Reform (1860)
- Many Abolitionists have yet to learn the ABC of woman's rights.
- Journal (June 1860)
- I do not demand equal pay for any women save those who do equal work in value. Scorn to be coddled by your employers; make them understand that you are in their service as workers, not as women.
- The Revolution, Women's Suffrage Newspaper (8 October 1868)
- Join the union, girls, and together say Equal Pay for Equal Work.
- The Revolution (18 March 1869)
- No matter what the motive, love of ease, or a desire to save from suffering the unborn innocent, the woman is awfully guilty who commits the deed. It will burden her conscience in life, it will burden her soul in death, but oh, thrice guilty is he who, for selfish gratification, heedless of her prayers, indifferent to her fate, drove her to the desperation that impelled her to the crime!
- On abortion in The Revolution IV, No. 1 (8 July 1869)
- Woman must not depend upon the protection of man, but must be taught to protect herself.
- Speech in San Francisco (July 1871)
- I shall work for the Republican party and call on all women to join me, precisely... for what that party has done and promises to do for women, nothing more, nothing less.
- Letter to Elizabeth Cady Stanton (Autumn 1872)
- Here, in the first paragraph of the Declaration, is the assertion of the natural right of all to the ballot; for how can "the consent of the governed" be given, if the right to vote be denied?
- On the United States Declaration of Independence in her "Is It a Crime for a Citizen of the United States to Vote?" speech before her trial for voting (1873)
- We assert the province of government to be to secure the people in the enjoyment of their unalienable rights. We throw to the winds the old dogma that governments can give rights.
- One-half of the people of this nation to-day are utterly powerless to blot from the statute books an unjust law, or to write there a new and a just one.
- An account of the proceedings on the trial of Susan B. Anthony, on the charge of illegal voting, at the presidential election in Nov. 1872, and on the trial of Beverly W. Jones, Edwin T. Marsh and William B. Hall, the inspectors of election by whom her vote was received. (1873)
- Marriage, to women as to men, must be a luxury, not a necessity; an incident of life, not all of it. And the only possible way to accomplish this great change is to accord to women equal power in the making, shaping and controlling of the circumstances of life.
- Speech on Social Purity (Spring 1875)
- I want you to understand that I never could have done the work I have if I had not had this woman at my right hand.
- Regarding Elizabeth Cady Stanton in Woman's Tribune (22 February 1890)
- The one distinct feature of our Association has been the right of the individual opinion for every member. We have been beset at every step with the cry that somebody was injuring the cause by the expression of some sentiments that differed with those held by the majority of mankind. The religious persecution of the ages has been done under what was claimed to be the command of God. I distrust those people who know so well what God wants them to do to their fellows, because it always coincides with their own desires.
- A defense of Elizabeth Cady Stanton against a motion to repudiate her Woman's Bible at a meeting of the National-American Woman Suffrage Association 1896 Convention, HWS, IV (1902), p. 263
- Failure is impossible.
- At her eighty-sixth birthday celebration (15 February 1906)
Trial on the charge of illegal voting (1874)
- I have many things to say. My every right, constitutional, civil, political and judicial has been tramped upon. I have not only had no jury of my peers, but I have had no jury at all.
- Account of Matilda Joslyn Gage (20 June 1873) to Kansas Leavenworth Times (3 July 1873)
- The only chance women have for justice in this country is to violate the law, as I have done, and as I shall continue to do.
- Account of Matilda Joslyn Gage (20 June 1873) to Kansas Leavenworth Times (3 July 1873)
- I do not ask the clemency of the court. I came into it to get justice, having failed in this, I demand the full rigors of the law.
- Account of Matilda Joslyn Gage (20 June 1873) to Kansas Leavenworth Times (3 July 1873)
- Even, under such circumstances, a commoner of England, tried before a jury of Lords, would have far less cause to complain than should I, a woman, tried before a jury of men.
- An Account of the Proceedings on the Trial of Susan B. Anthony on the Charge of Illegal Voting] (1874)
- But, yesterday, the same man-made forms of law, declared it a crime punishable with $1,000 fine and six months' imprisonment, for you, or me, or any of us, to give a cup of cold water, a crust of bread, or a night's shelter to a panting fugitive as he was tracking his way to Canada. And every man or woman in whose veins coursed a drop of human sympathy violated that wicked law, reckless of consequences, and was justified in so doing.
- An Account of the Proceedings on the Trial of Susan B. Anthony on the Charge of Illegal Voting] (1874)
- May it please your honor, I shall never pay a dollar of your unjust penalty. All the stock in trade I possess is a $10,000 debt, incurred by publishing my paper — The Revolution — four years ago, the sole object of which was to educate all women to do precisely as I have done, rebel against your man-made, unjust, unconstitutional forms of law, that tax, fine, imprison and hang women, while they deny them the right of representation in the government; and I shall work on with might and main to pay every dollar of that honest debt, but not a penny shall go to this unjust claim. And I shall earnestly and persistently continue to urge all women to the practical recognition of the old revolutionary maxim, that "Resistance to tyranny is obedience to God."
- On her $100 fine, as quoted in An Account of the Proceedings on the Trial of Susan B. Anthony on the Charge of Illegal Voting] (1874) The "old revolutionary maxim" Anthony uses here has been variously attributed to William Tyndale, Benjamin Franklin, and Thomas Jefferson, as well as to herself.
- Variant: Resistance to tyranny is obedience to God; I shall never pay a penny of this unjust claim.
- As quoted in Woman: Her Position, Influence and Achievement Throughout the Civilized World (1900) p. 415
- Unsourced variants: Resistance to tyranny is obedience to God, and I shall never pay a penny of this unjust claim.
Resistance to tyranny is obedience to God, and I shall never pay a penny of this unjust fine.
- Resistance to tyranny is obedience to God.
- This statement was widely used as an abolitionist and feminist slogan in the 19th century and has sometimes been attributed to Anthony, who famously used it, but cited it as an "old revolutionary maxim"; it has also frequently been attributed to Thomas Jefferson, and to Benjamin Franklin, who has been cited as having proposed it as the motto of the United States, as well as to English theologian William Tyndale. The earliest definite citations of a source yet found in research for Wikiquote indicates that it was declared by Massachusetts Governor Simon Bradstreet after the overthrow of Dominion of New England Governor Edmund Andros in relation to the "Glorious Revolution" of 1688, as quoted in Official Report of the Debates and Proceedings in the State Convention: assembled May 4th, 1853 (1853) by the Massachusetts Constitutional Convention, p. 502. It is also quoted as a maxim that arose after the overthrow of Andros in A Book of New England Legends and Folk Lore (1883) by Samuel Adams Drake. p.426

SMART undertakes and catalyzes research, demonstration projects (living labs), education, and global learning exchange on a range of issues related to the sustainable future of transportation in an urbanizing world.
Action for sustainable transportation is especially important now, as accelerating urbanization, population growth, globalization, and demographic shifts reinforce transportation and development patterns that threaten climate, the environment, biodiversity, energy security, social equity, productivity, urban economies, and livability. Recognizing the complexity of the challenge and the sophistication of the innovation required, SMART takes a systems approach to urban mobility, or more broadly, accessibility. As a university-wide initiative, we work with local and international partners from diverse sectors and disciplines to understand and develop new theoretical perspectives, and to generate and accelerate implementation of practical, innovative, systems solutions. Solutions that tell a holistic and hopeful story for the future of city regions and the people in them.
SMART, Sustainable Mobility & Accessibility Research & Transformation, is a project of UMTRI, the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute and TCAUP, the Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning, in Ann Arbor.

We all sound different from each other. Our sound is already inside of us. It is our breath that brings it out.
The way we sound when we talk or sing is the result of a number of factors. None of those is a rock and roll or glitter outfit (thought it may help in a psychological sense). And singing is as much about confidence as it is about breathing, relaxing, posture and letting your voice just happen. It almost sounds a bit like yoga.
So says and so teaches Germantown resident Connie Koppe, who has made a career singing and teaching opera, theater and cabaret for more than 30 years. This winter, the University of the Arts (UArts) professor will teach an eight-session "Beginning Singing" Saturday morning class (starting at 9:30) at the Unitarian Society of Germantown, 6511 Lincoln Drive, beginning Feb. 4.
"It's aimed at people who always wanted to sing but feel they don't have the courage," said Koppe, "or they've been told before they shouldn't."
She has been teaching the class for six years. The number one issue that ails singers is a lack of confidence, she said. Her most common students are church choir singers.
Koppe, who prefers that her age not be mentioned, graduated with a master's in music and opera performance from the Boyer College of Music in Temple in 1977. She studied music education as an undergraduate at Indiana University of Pennsylvania (1973 graduate). Born in Lawrence, Kansas, but raised in Conshohocken, the 1969 Plymouth Whitemarsh (PW) graduate has been on stage and backstage, where she's been a stage director and costume designer. At present, she performs French cabaret music with her band Enchante, which has performed at the Philly Fringe Festival.
In addition to teaching and performing, she has founded arts organizations like Arts for Anyone, a non-profit independent arts education program created in 1993. That same year she organized the Singers' Network, a non-profit networking organization for the singing community in the Greater Delaware Valley. She is also a member of the American Federation of TV and Radio Artists, the Actors' Equity Association and American Guild of Musical Artists.
Her nine directing credits include a 2010 Delaware Valley Opera Company production of "Don Giovanni." She also directed "The Marriage of Figaro," among others, and performed in more than a dozen operas including "Hansel and Gretel," "Carmen" and "La Boheme." She's also been involved in the production of shows and has done children's theater for years.
At present, Koppe teaches singing and teaching at UArts, as well as privately in her home studio. At MALT, Koppe introduces students to the Linklater method, a technique developed by Kristen Linklater, a Scottish vocal coach who came to America in the 1960s to train theater actors in speech work. She now teaches at Columbia University. Linklater has trained performers like Mary Tyler Moore, Sigourney Weaver and Bill Murray.
Koppe uses the method in the beginning of her class to help students learn to breathe and relax when singing. Later classes focus on sound, humming, then jaw awareness and loosening the back of the chin and neck. Still later there is tongue and palate awareness, rib work and "how big can your breath get?" Mixed in with it all is some actual singing.
While Koppe's interest in Linklater's teachings stirred as a graduate student, it was not until 1996 that she began to study the discipline in earnest. She is also interested in branching into the corporate world and teaching the work to a whole new spectrum of students.
"When you have thoughts and you know you're going to speak it, the diaphragm reacts," says Koppe. "A lot of people second-guess themselves."
That lack of confidence causes people to hold their breath or restrain themselves. The result is an off-pitch or pinched sound, according to Koppe. You can notice this type of sound in a woman who speaks in a high-pitched voice more reminiscent of a pubescent girl than a mature female.
"When you really release your voice and stop second-guessing yourself, when you allow yourself to breathe in, in all its fullness and be reactive to acting and what the playwright has written, you are allowing yourself to tap into the more organic part of the body."
It almost sounds like a breath lesson for yoga or mediation students. The concepts behind the two are similar. So is the fact that the more aligned one's spine is, the less restricted the vocal passage will be. If you stand slumped, or your body is not aligned, or you are the type of person who stands on one hip, your lungs and diaphragm will be compressed. It's about finding balance. The sound of your voice is even affected by your feet's relationship with the ground.
"It's about how you use the body," says Koppe. The act of singing requires an orchestrated play between the diaphragmatic, abdominal and intercostal (those between the ribs) muscles, she explained.
As a child, Koppe began to sing in her church choir at the age of six. This was in Schenectady, New York, outside of Albany, in between her family moving from Kansas to Conshohocken. Before New York, the family also lived in Minneapolis. By nine she was singing solos. By junior high the family had relocated to our area. That's when she began singing arias and the like at St. Peter's Lutheran Church in Lafayette Hill. At 16, the singing lessons began.
While the Beatles roared in and out of America, Koppe was being exposed to theater and opera at PW and in the church choir, and in the past three decades she has taught thousands of others to find their voice.
"Perfection is not what it's about," said Koppe about the class. "It's about getting people around to the idea that they can sing."

We're all for spicing things up in the bedroom, but alas, it's easier said than done (and we're not even talking about getting him to willingly turn off football). The first wrinkle: Most sex-toy shops are so tacky they make you want to hide under the bed. And then there's the sketchy-health factor: Most toys, candles, personal lubricants, and even lingerie contain not-so-safe chemicals that are decidedly unsexy.
But enough with the bad news. Here's the good: Some companies have taken matters into their own hands, making nontoxic products that enhance your sex life without enhancing your exposure to potentially harmful ingredients. Better still, they outperform their conventional counterparts.

Dear Debt Adviser,
Continue Reading Below
My husband has $250,000 in student loan debt. He has been paying the minimum and deferring them while he's between jobs. I ran the numbers and realized that if we were to keep paying the minimum, we'd pay $2,500 per month until 2045! But, if we live frugally for three years we can get rid of the bigger loans ($170,000 between 6% and 8.5%), and pay off the rest with the monthly minimum for another seven years.
We also want to build some savings and open a managed investment account. We'd like to buy a small apartment (we live in New York City) in the next five years and have a baby.
So here is the question: Does it make sense to live frugally and put all of our extra income toward repaying his student loans? Or should we put some of that money toward savings and investments? I'm 26, he is 29, and it's time to start building our future.
Thanks! -Jane
Dear Jane, Before you pay down his loans, you need to build a cushion for emergencies and feed your apartment-purchase fund. So keep paying the minimum until you have 12 months' worth of basic living expenses set aside and a down payment on your new digs.
Once you have your emergency fund in place, consider an investment program. I like investing over the long term and think that the sooner you start, the better off you'll be. I suggest that you find a highly recommended financial planner instead of a banker or a broker to guide your financial plan. In my experience, investing isn't about hitting financial home runs. It's about avoiding errors.
Over time, your income will hopefully increase and your husband will turn his expensive education into gainful employment. When that happens, you'll have the opportunity to pay down his debt faster and fund more of your financial and family goals.
I also suggest that you don't forget to put a few dollars aside regularly, maybe from raises or promotions, to allow for some fun. At your age, three years without some breaks may be more than either one of you can stand. You may actually increase the likelihood of meeting your savings and investment goals if you allocate a modest amount of money for activities or things you both enjoy.
Good luck!
