Beginning with the 1985 edition, the Department of Health
and Human Services (HHS) and the Department of Agriculture
(USDA) have appointed a Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee
(DGAC) of prominent experts in nutrition and health to assist
in the preparation of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans.
This Committee has been an effective mechanism to obtain a
competent review of the science, recommendations from experts,
and broad public acceptance of the Dietary Guidelines.
The 2005 DGAC was established for the single, time-limited
task of reviewing the 2000 edition of Nutrition and Your
Health: Dietary Guidelines for Americans and determining
if, on the basis of current scientific and medical knowledge,
revision was warranted. The Committee determined that a revision
was warranted and developed nutrition and health recommendations
in this report to the Secretaries of HHS and USDA. The Committee
was dissolved upon delivery of this report.
Nominations were sought from the public through a Federal
Register notice published on May 15, 2003, and from Federal
agencies. Prospective members of the DGAC were expected to
be knowledgeable of current scientific research in human nutrition
and be respected and published experts in their fields. They
would be familiar with the purpose, communication, and application
of the Dietary Guidelines and have demonstrated interest
in the public's health and well-being through their research
and/or educational endeavors. Expertise was sought in specific
specialty areas, including, but not limited to, cardiovascular
disease, cancer, pediatrics, gerontology, epidemiology, general
medicine, overweight and obesity, physical activity, public
health, nutritional biochemistry, nutrient bioavailability,
nutrition education, and food safety and technology.
The Secretaries of HHS and USDA jointly selected individuals
for membership to the DGAC. The individuals selected are highly
respected by their peers for their depth and breadth of scientific
knowledge of the relationship between dietary intake and health.
The expertise of these individuals addresses all the relevant
areas of the current Dietary Guidelines for Americans.
To ensure that recommendations of the Committee took into
account the needs of the diverse groups served by HHS and
USDA, membership included, to the extent practicable, individuals
with demonstrated ability to represent minorities, women,
and persons with disabilities. Efforts were made to ensure
equitable geographic distribution and racial, ethnic, and
gender representation. Appointments were made without discrimination
on the basis of age; race and ethnicity; gender; sexual orientation;
disability; or cultural, religious, or socioeconomic status.
Equal opportunity practices, in line with HHS and USDA policies,
were followed in all membership appointments to the Committee.
Back to Top
The Committee, whose duties are solely advisory and time-limited,
will perform the following functions:
If the Committee decides that no changes are necessary,
it will so inform the Secretaries of the Departments. This
action will terminate the DGAC.
If the Committee decides that changes are warranted
on the basis of the preponderance of the scientific and medical
knowledge, the Committee will determine what issues for change
need to be addressed.
The focus of the Committee should be on the review
of the new scientific evidence.
The Committee shall make and submit its technical
recommendations and the rationale for these recommendations
in a report to the Secretaries. The Committee's focus should
be its recommendations and the supporting science rather than
translating the recommendations into a communication document.
Upon the submittal of the Committee's recommendations,
the DGAC will be terminated.
Written public comments were received throughout the Committee's
deliberations. Those received before August 10, 2004, were
shared with all Committee members. Comments with recommendations
for the Committee received before May 12, 2004, are summarized
in Appendix G-6. In response to a solicitation for oral comments,
31 organizations or individuals presented oral testimony during
the January 28–29, 2004, meeting of the Committee. These comments
are summarized in the January Public Meeting Summary (http://www.health.gov/dietaryguidelines).
Comments are available for examination at the Office of Disease
Prevention and Health Promotion, 1101 Wootton Parkway, Suite
LL100, Rockville, MD, 20852.
To promote a fresh examination of the science base for dietary
guidance, the content areas to be addressed differed somewhat
from the topics of the 10 guidelines in the 2000 Dietary
Guidelines. In particular, the workload was divided and
managed by subcommittees on nutrient adequacy, carbohydrates,
fats, fluid and electrolytes, energy, ethanol, and food safety.
Midway through the effort, a macronutrient subcommittee was
appointed to address some crosscutting topics, and a subcommittee
was formed to address fruits and vegetables, grains, milk,
and milk products. To aid in coordination and communication,
a lead Committee member was appointed for each subcommittee,
but the conclusions reached reflected the consensus of the
entire group. One or more designated staff members from HHS
or USDA assisted each subcommittee.
The Science Review Subcommittee was formed to help maintain
consistent standards for the reviews across subcommittees.
The Subcommittee also addressed quality standards for the
entire process, including consideration of the format of the
report to the Secretaries, integration of the various subcommittees'
work into a cohesive document, and meeting plans.
The subcommittees communicated by conference call, e-mail,
and face-to-face meetings. Each subcommittee was responsible
for presenting the basis for its conclusions and recommendations
to the full Committee, responding to questions, and making
changes if indicated. To gain perspectives for interpreting
the science, some subcommittees invited experts to respond
to specific questions during conference calls. The full Committee
heard presentations from 12 invited experts, who addressed
questions posed by the Committee in advance and responded
to additional questions during the meeting. The conclusions
in this report reflect the consensus of the entire Committee.
Each subcommittee generated an initial list of research questions
that might be relevant to setting dietary guidelines. The
subcommittee then set priorities based on the perceived level
of importance and availability of literature. This process
was iterative. Throughout the deliberations, the wording and
intent of the research questions evolved, as did the need
for additional questions. Available time, expertise, and resources
precluded an examination of all issues related to the effects
of diet on chronic disease.
The DGAC relied on the published literature and, in a few
instances, preprints of articles that had been accepted for
publication and provided to the Committee by individual members
and invited experts. Major sources of evidence were the Dietary
Reference Intake reports prepared by expert committees
convened by the Institute of Medicine (IOM). Other sources
were systematic evidence-based reports such as the Agency
for Healthcare Research and Quality report on omega-3 fatty
acids and the World Health Organization International Agency
for Research on Cancer (IARC) report on the relation between
fruit and vegetable intake and cancer. In addition to these
comprehensive documents, the subcommittees relied on literature
searches to identify pertinent articles on research questions
not addressed in any evidence-based report and to update previously
published evidence reports.
The Committee focused on studies conducted in humans. The
primary types of studies used were observational studies and
clinical trials. Specific types of observational studies were
cross-sectional studies, case-control studies, and cohort
studies. The Committee placed greatest emphasis on results
from cohort studies and trials with well-accepted, clinically
relevant outcomes. Such outcomes included clinical diseases
(e.g., incident cancer and myocardial infarction) and well-accepted
risk factors (e.g., systolic blood pressure, low-density lipoprotein
cholesterol, and weight). Meta-analyses also were considered.
The majority of studies evaluated were based on adults; there
were limited studies on children.
Staff developed the search strategy in consultation with each
subcommittee chair to meet the needs of that subcommittee.
The search strategy included search parameters, search terms,
search databases, and exclusion criteria (including years
Typical exclusion criteria included the following: in vitro
studies, animal studies, articles before "X" date, and drug
studies. The specific exclusion criteria varied by question
(e.g., questions involving cancer as an endpoint may not exclude
animal studies). In some cases, additional references were
identified by checking the reference lists of review articles.
The years covered were influenced by the availability of evidence-based
reviews that addressed the same topic. For example, the literature
search regarding fiber covered only 1999 and later years because
a prior IOM report covered the earlier years. Some searches
were expanded if results from the initial research were meager.
The Science Review Subcommittee developed a prototype table
to be used for summarizing information obtained from relevant
articles for priority questions. Content included in the tables
was to be concise, factual, and descriptive and to provide
a basis for formulating tentative conclusions. Staff worked
with the respective subcommittee chair to examine the search
results and eliminate articles that were not relevant to the
subcommittee's topic. They then extracted the key information
and, by using the prototype, produced a table to cover key
information about each question for which relevant articles
were identified. See Appendix G-3 for working summary tables.
Subcommittee members read the tables and requested key articles.
They then critically assessed study quality and relevance
to the overall question being addressed. The subcommittee
members, not the staff, made the decisions on study quality
and on the relative value of clinical trials and observational
studies. They considered these factors, along with the data
summarized in the tables, in reaching tentative conclusions
for consideration by the full Committee.
For each research question, subcommittees prepared a brief
document that included a conclusion that specifically addressed
the research question, a list of key sources, and a summary
of key studies and findings. The subcommittee presented draft
summary statements to the DGAC for consideration. Members
of the Committee who were not members of the subcommittee
were also assigned to review the statements and provide in-depth
critical review. For especially controversial topics, the
entire Committee examined the key published evidence on which
a conclusion was based. At the May and August meetings, the
whole Committee voted on the wording of each conclusion.
The Committee had access to the food pattern proposed by
the USDA (Federal Register notice, vol. 68, no. 176,
September 11, 2003, p. 53536) and to technical support data
related to the pattern. This information included the following:
A proposed daily food intake pattern that lists
the daily amounts of food from each food group and subgroup
for 12 age/energy groups.
Energy levels for the proposed food intake pattern.
Nutritional goals for the daily food intake pattern
covering vitamins, minerals, and macronutrients.
Nutrient profiles of the basic food groups and their
subgroups and for additional fats, oils, soft margarines,
and added sugars. The food groups and subgroups are composites
that reflect the types and amounts of foods commonly consumed
by Americans.
Nutrients provided by the proposed food pattern.
At the request of three subcommittees, USDA staff used its
food modeling system to conduct several types of analyses.
Most of these analyses involved the modeling of the food pattern
intended to meet selected specifications for nutrient intake.
For example, the subcommittees requested analyses to obtain
information relevant to flexibility in the choice of food
to meet nutrient needs, the effects of different fat intakes
on the nutrients provided by the food pattern, and the approximate
number of calories needed to meet recommended nutrient intakes.
See Appendix G-2 for the descriptions of these analyses and
their results.
The USDA food modeling process used in these analyses was
developed originally for deriving the Food Guide Pyramid.
It was updated for these analyses to include nutrient goals
from the IOM Dietary Reference Intakes report that
was released in 2004 (after the Federal Register
notice regarding the proposed food pattern) and the most recent
National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES)
1999–2000 food consumption data. The USDA food modeling process
involves the following steps:
Establishing nutritional goals. Goals were obtained
from the Dietary Reference Intakes reports for various
vitamins, minerals, macronutrients, and electrolytes released
by the IOM between 1997 and 2004.
Establishing energy levels. The food pattern
was developed for caloric levels from 1,000 to 3,200 calories
per day in 200-calorie increments. The pattern was created
for each age/gender group and was deemed applicable, whether
individuals were sedentary or physically active.
Assigning nutritional goals to each specific food
intake pattern. The specific nutritional goals assigned
to each food intake pattern were the goals of age/gender
groups with sedentary energy requirements that most closely
matched the caloric level. For example, the goals of females
age 31 to 50 years, males/females age 9 to 13 years, and
females age 14 to 18 years matched the 1,800 calories
per day level. In some cases the nutrient levels in a
food pattern were compared to nutritional goals for several
age/gender groups. For example, at the 1,800-calorie level,
three goals were specified for each nutrient: those for
females age 31 to 50 years, for males/females age 9 to
13 years, and for females age 14 to 18 years.
Assigning a nutrient content to each food group and
subgroup. Foods included in each of the commodity
food groups or subgroups (fruits, milk, meat and beans,
whole grains, enriched grains, dark green vegetables,
orange vegetables, legumes, starchy vegetables, and other
vegetables) are based on the food consumption of Americans,
with any food that represents 1 percent or more of the
consumption from that group or subgroup included in the
development of a nutrient profile. Other foods (less than
1 percent of group or subgroup consumption) are grouped
with a similar food item for analysis. The nutrient profiles
of each commodity group are the weighted averages of the
nutrient content of foods in each food group based on
consumption. The USDA Continuing Survey of Food Intakes
by Individuals (CSFII) 1994–1996 was the source of food
consumption data in the Federal Register notice,
but the NHANES 1999–2000 food consumption data were used
to determine new nutrient profiles for this analysis.
Two-day food intakes from 14,262 individuals over age
2 years were weighted to represent the nationwide population.
For example, the nutritional composition of dark green
leafy vegetables reflected the nationwide consumption
of foods falling into that group, which were about 53
percent broccoli and 20 percent spinach. Therefore, the
nutritional value of the dark green leafy vegetable group
was 0.53 of the nutritional value of broccoli, 0.20 of
the value of spinach, and 0.27 other. Foods in their lowest
fat form were selected for determining the nutrient profile
of the milk and meat groups. For the milk group, fat-free
milk was the single food item used to represent this food
group. For the meat group, only the leanest cuts of meat,
fish, and poultry prepared with all fat or skin removed
were used. Eggs and nuts were also included in this group.
Determining the daily intake amounts for each food
group or subgroup. Starting from the original Pyramid
food pattern, the amounts of each food group or subgroup
were increased or decreased in an iterative manner until
the pattern for each calorie level achieved its nutritional
goal or came within a reasonable range. A reasonable progression
from pattern to pattern of the amounts recommended in
each food group was maintained to make the pattern logical
from an educational standpoint.
Because 12 different levels of energy intake ranging from
1,000 to 3,200 calories per day have been used, a person can
select a food pattern according to his or her level of physical
activity. The pattern was developed for individuals with low,
moderate, or active levels of physical activity.
There are advantages to the approach used in developing this
food intake pattern. One advantage is that it provides continuity
with previous food guidance and allows evolution of the guidance
over time to build on what consumers already understand while
updating the science base. Also, the approach provides an
educational tool that integrates the gamut of IOM recommendations
into a food intake pattern. That is, the approach assists
in converting the full set of nutrient recommendations to
food-based recommendations suitable for males and females
of different ages and activity levels. The process has resulted
in a food pattern that meets IOM recommendations for almost
all nutrients at all calorie-intake levels.
There are disadvantages to the approach, however. First,
the nutrient profile of each food group and subgroup is based
on Americans' current consumption of foods within that group.
Because Americans may not select rich sources of certain nutrients,
the nutrient profiles for a group or subgroup also may be
low in that nutrient. This makes it more difficult to develop
models that meet the appropriate Dietary Reference Intakes
for some nutrients. For example, Americans eat very few nuts
relative to other choices in the meat, poultry, fish, dry
beans, eggs, and nuts group; and the nuts they tend to eat
are not especially rich in vitamin E. Therefore, the nutrient
profile for "nuts" and for the entire meat, poultry, fish,
dry beans, eggs, and nuts group is relatively low in vitamin
E. This also is true for the types of oils that Americans
tend to select; relatively few individuals use oils that are
especially rich in vitamin E. When using the nutrient profiles
for these food groups, it is difficult to develop a food intake
pattern that meets the Recommended Dietary Allowance for vitamin
E. This holds true even if only lacto-ovo vegetarian choices
are made from the meat, poultry, fish, dry beans, eggs, and
nuts group, by including only eggs, nuts, and legumes in the
nutrient profile for this group. The same problem exists in
trying to use these nutrient profiles to meet IOM recommendations
for sodium and potassium because the profiles rely on current
consumption and the food supply, both of which are high in
sodium and low in potassium.
Second, the five basic food groups used in the modeling stemmed
from historical nutritional concerns: vitamin C (fruit), vitamin
A (vegetables), calcium (milk), protein (meat), and energy
(grains). The original 1992 Pyramid pattern considered and
evaluated 21 different diet components (i.e., vitamins, minerals,
different fats, and energy). The new dietary reference intakes
include standards for a total of 27 diet components (vitamins,
minerals, electrolytes, essential fats, all the macronutrients,
and fiber). As with the original Pyramid development, this
requires the use of more than the five basic food groups to
meet the dietary reference intakes. Consequently for these
analyses, vegetables were broken down into the following subgroups:
dark green, deep yellow, legumes, starchy, and other. Grains
were divided into whole and enriched grains. Meats and legumes
were not divided into subgroups, however. The amounts from
several of the various subgroups increased (e.g., dark green
vegetables, legumes) to meet the new nutrient recommendations.
Third, persons using this pattern need to take great care
to account for the (1) fat contained in milk products and
meats, (2) fats and added sugars that are a part of processed
foods (such as muffins or soft drinks) and that are added
when preparing or serving food, and (3) calories provided
by alcoholic beverages. Otherwise, their intakes of calories
and of saturated fats are likely to be too high.
Although the food modeling program was not perfect, it was
a valuable tool for the Committee in determining how the food
pattern could be developed that met science-based criteria
for a healthful diet.
Several tables found in Parts D and E of this report present
food sources of nutrients consumed by Americans. These tables,
adapted from tables published by Cotton et al. (2004), draw
upon CSFII 1994–1996 data. To confirm that the CSFII data
are still representative, a prototype analysis of 1999–2000
NHANES food consumption data was run on one key nutrient—potassium.
The analytical methodology and comparison follow.
The NHANES analysis included individual consumption records
that were considered reliable and met the daily minimum (acceptable)
number of foods consumed. The Cotton analysis used similar
data from CSFII 1994–1996. The nutrient content of the individual
foods were drawn from the USDA Nutrient Composition Database
Standard Reference 16.1. The two analyses incorporated similar
food groupings. However, because time was short for completing
the Committee's work, the prototype NHANES analysis did not
disaggregate food mixtures to their basic ingredients, as
the Cotton analysis did. Rather, in most cases, the most prominent
ingredient in the food mixture dictated the category in which
the food was placed. For example, the coffee category includes
coffee with milk or other combinations and does not break
down into the coffee and milk categories, as in the Cotton
article. Similarly, the tomatoes from pizza do not appear
in the tomato category because they are picked up in the multi-ingredient
category called egg rolls, pizza, etc. An examination of the
top 10 food contributors (shown in Table C1) indicates that
there may be about a 5 percent difference when using the different
A comparison of the results from the two types of analysis
indicates that the percent contribution by food category to
the total potassium intake did not differ substantially. The
reasons for differences may be due to the placement of multi-ingredient
foods or real changes in intake. In terms of potassium intake,
the top 12 foods identified by Cotton et al. (2004) are found
within the top 14 foods on the NHANES list, and the order
does not change radically. The decision was made to use the
tables from Cotton and colleagues (2004) since they were from
a peer-reviewed, published article.

**Followed by consommé (include
soups), then corn/potato chips and popcorn.
Using results from the systematic review of the scientific
literature and the food modeling exercises, the Committee
evaluated and integrated the evidence into a set of conclusive
statements and major conclusions regarding the components
of the diet and physical activity that promote the health
and well-being of Americans over age 2 years. These statements
provide the basis for a set of straightforward guidelines
for diet and physical activity.

ITJB FR Week 5 Barley Bread pps. 87-88
This week's challenge bake was the Barley Bread. This dough was light and smooth and beautiful. The bake went very well and the loaves turned out lovely. The texture is springy yet dense like a rye bread and the taste is very nice. I like the "Gershtnbroyt" name for this bread since it is a bit fancier than our daily breads.
As you can see here Helen's loaves turned out "drop dead gorgeous" her crust was crunchy yet tender and her crumb is very nice.
She said that the texture was very much like the light rye she makes and the flavor is very nice. She decided since she was going to use her loaves more as sandwich bread, to leave out the seeds. These loaves look amazing.
Barb's loaves look like she bakes "professionally" which she just about does, since she is the fresh bread resource for just about everybody she knows! Her quilting club members are very happy ladies on meeting day. These loaves have poppy seeds mixed in and they too look lovely. I am envious of all those round loaves.
Those two sisters of mine are amazing bread bakers... I have always regressed to putting my breads into loaf pans because the round loaves just don't turn out like these above loaves you see....
If there are folks out there that can tell me why my loaves look like they do and not like the ones my sisters make, I will take all advice with an open mind and heart and try to learn from your comments and instruction... I really do want to make round bread and free form artisan breads.
I left this picture full sized so those who want to give me advice could get a good look... there was no shiny rounded top... no oven spring and the crumb is almost undercooked looking... HELP!
Enough about that! The fun was in the communication between we 3 while baking and the smell of my bread was awesome... I subtituted the nigella seeds for a mixture of poppy seed, minced onion, and oregano.... and it tastes real good.
Enjoyed this week together - next week we are making Onion Kichel... which from reading the book I see is really an onion cracker or chip... should be good with soups etc... looking forward to it... Meet us on page 238. Bake with us and send pictures.

Tech Researchers Secure Grant to Clean Oilfield Water, Nov. 12, 2008
By Thomas Guengerich
LOVINGTON, N.M., Nov. 12, 2008 – Lea County and New Mexico Tech are partnering on a ground-breaking new Department of Energy grant to clean and recycle produced water from the oilfields of southeastern New Mexico.
The two-year grant to Lea County totals $1.432 million. The Lea County Commission approved a $1.3 million subcontract between the County and New Mexico Tech at the Board of County Commissioners meeting Friday, Nov. 7.
Scientists at the university in Socorro will develop a multi-step system to desalinate and further treat produced water. Lea County Commission Chairman Gary Schubert said the goal is to develop new technology that can be commercialized for a wide variety of uses. Some possible uses of the cleaned water include watering livestock, irrigating plants and controlling dust on unpaved roads, he said.
Tech Vice President of Research Dr. Van Romero said the oil and gas industry in southeast New Mexico produces about 400 million barrels of water every year. Most of it is deposited in evaporation ponds because it is not considered usable by humans, or for animals or agriculture.
"We hope this will enable entrepreneurs in Lea County to team with the university and other partners to build new businesses here in Lea County and elsewhere," Schubert said.
The first year will spent on research. By the end of the second year, mechanical engineering professor Dr. Ashok Kumar Ghosh expects to deliver a system that can process 1,000 gallons per day. The project will employ one post-doctoral student, 3 or 4 graduate students and up to 10 undergraduate students.
Ghosh – who is heading up the research phase of the project – said produced water in southeastern New Mexico contains an average of 212,000 parts per million of dissolved solids, making it less than 80 percent H2O. By contrast, he said, ocean water contains only 3 percent salt and other solids.
The grant, also referred to as a "cell membrane" grant, will be used to search for a cost-effective method of converting the solids-heavy produced water to a more usable state. Scientists at Tech will examine several methods of reducing the particulate matter in brackish water so it can be used for irrigation and wildlife, among other things.
The grant also includes funding to establish a vocational training program at New Mexico Junior College in Hobbs. Tech will work with junior college instructors to develop curriculum to train the technicians who can install, operate and maintain the systems after the project becomes operational.
"Many people have tried this, but there's such a high level of total dissolved solids that it's very difficult to find a cost-effective method," Ghosh said.
The term "cell membrane" comes from a treatment process employing forward osmosis, Ghosh said. This process uses a "draw solution" to push water through a membrane, filtering the solids from the water. Currently available membranes are made of advanced polymers.
The proposal includes two distinct processes: pre-treatment and treatment. Pre-treatment, will remove oil and grease. The treatment process will remove other elements, like salt, chloride and calcium.
To remove the petroleum products – benzene, toluene and xylene – Ghosh has two prime methods of pre-treatment that he will examine. Recent research has found biological organisms that eat petroleum. Biology professor Dr. Rebecca Reiss, through Tech's partnership with the National Genome Research Center in Santa Fe, will examine the genetic make-up of bioagents that thrive in petroleum-rich environments. Once the microbes do their job, the brackish water would then be filtered to remove the biological agents. Ghosh will also test a zeolite-filtration system developed and patented by Tech hydrology professor Dr. Rob Bowman.
The second step – the treatment process – will employ forward osmosis, a recently-developed method that uses a "draw solution" to force water through a nano-membrane, or what Ghosh calls a molecular sieve.
"We'll look at the market and test the available membranes," Ghosh said. "We might have to fine-tune it a bit or design a new membrane and ask the manufacturers to make one."
Yale research into forward osmosis has found that the process is effective at temperatures as low as 40C, or 100F. Ghosh said he might find that the ideal temperature might be higher, which would increase the cost of forward osmosis.
"Some of these methods are more effective at high temperatures," Ghosh said. "We would try to generate the heat by using renewable sources – wind and photovoltaics. Hobbs and Carlsbad have plenty of sunshine and wind year-round. Eventually, we would want to come up with a process that generates power from renewables to give us better performance and cost efficiency."

Performing a Hard (Full) Reset on a Samsung Wave
A full reset is sometimes referred to as a hard reset. Perform a full reset when you want to clear all settings, programs and data from RAM. A full reset deactivates the battery the power button does not function until the battery is reactivated.
Caution if you perform a full reset, your Samsung Wave returns to its default settings and looses all information that is not recorded in ROM.
To perform a hard reset:
- If your device freezes or hangs, you may need to close programs or reset the device to regain functionality. If your device is still responsive but a program is frozen, close the program using the task manager.
- If your device is frozen and unresponsive, press and hold for 8-10 seconds until the device turns off and on automatically.

Led Zeppelin Inspired Ladder Creates Safer Stairway to… Household Repairs
Ever thought about climbing a 'Stairway to Heaven' while searching for highly placed objects in your home? Finally, now is your chance. Inspired by Led Zeppelin's iconic logo, a student at the Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design has designed an innovative new ladder with jagged contours.
Appropriately titled the "Led Zeppelin," the ladder's design means that normally high-risk activities such as working in corners (perhaps while getting one's Led out from off the top shelf?) are now safe and effectively handled. Often times users took tumbles from using inferior products to accomplish such tasks, but not with the Zeppelin ladder.
But wait, there's more!
We'd also like to point out, as this article asserts, that the Zeppelin ladder's unique design means it won't rock if you place it in a corner. How much would you pay NOW? Wait, don't answer yet, we still have several more bad jokes to cram into this story.
OK, no, actually we're done. Want to find out more about the Led Zeppelin ladder? Read all the details here, or watch a demonstration of this wondrous marvel of modern science in action below.

BEAUMONT, TX -- Last week, officials at the Beaumont Metropolitan YMCA said they plan to close both of their existing facilities in Beaumont, TX, on March 1 and discontinue all programs. Officials cited a decline in memberships and inability to secure operational funding as reasons for the decision.
The Y's board of directors also said it would cease construction on a new $4 million branch that was slated to open this spring, saying it was unable to raise capital to finish construction on the project. The organization began selling charter memberships for the new facility last November.
In January, Jeff Moore, CEO of the Beaumont Y, said the organization's existing L.L. Melton YMCA branch had only 100 paid memberships, although the facility was designed to accommodate as many as 1,200 members. It also has a monthly operating deficit of more than $20,000. At that time, he announced plans to shorten operating hours at the Melton location and begin an "aggressive membership commitment campaign."
Officials from the YMCA of Port Arthur are reportedly examining ways to help save important programming at the Beaumont Y, according to local media. The Beaumont Y also was said to be in talks with the city council to find solutions.

I don't know how much God has to do to get the attention of the politicians. We've had an earthquake; we've had a hurricane. He said, "Are you going to start listening to me here?"
Michele Bachmann
Michele Bachmann's god reflects the reified idol promoted by typical Christian God-talk. He thinks and speaks like the dominant males so admired in the paradigm we are in the process of escaping.
Retired Episcopal Bishop John Shelby Spong articulates the paradigm to which we are shifting. Joyfully I listened to him on MPR's Midmorning cogently support the messages in my book and blog. Samples:
Science versus the literal "Sunday school version" of faith;
Bible passages contradicting each other and contradicting Christian doctrine (for instance, the idea that Jesus is God);
Atheism (a-theism means not believing God is an external being; it does not necessarily mean disbelief in God);
God-talk excluding the feminine ("It's always a he.");
Religion promoting prejudice ("tribal hatred" in the Bible);
Christianity dying in Europe (empty churches; "rigor mortis too kind a term");
Why have faith? (Humans need something that transcends humanity. "I want to offer an alternative to secular humanism").
As Spong was answering the last question, he spoke of Jesus' essential message—love. I was reminded of the many times people ask me why the heck I stay in the Catholic Church, given my beliefs. The answer—I find love practiced by Church people. That I am surrounded by many loving, aware, educated Catholics makes me luckier than many who grow past the spiritual immaturity of literal belief but have no community of like-minded Church people with whom they can continue to grow. I can see why they leave.
In answer to a listener question, Spong discussed "the disconnect" between biblical studies and what happens in church. This gets to the message I keep pounding in—liturgies must change! if Christianity is to have any relevance to contemporary life. As Spong stated, "The way we tell the Christ story is not making it in the modern world."
The growing numbers of Christians waking up reassure me in the face of fundamentalist Christian revival politics.
Now I'm on my way to Thanksgiving dinner hosted by loving, aware Christians who share their bounty with others.
Spong & Stearns churches" September 20, 2009
On September 27, I was in Bobby Vee's studio, the interesting former bank building of St. Joseph, MN, participating in the Millstream Arts Festival. With me were John and Bob Roscoe, whose new book presents a perfect counterpoise to my writings, which point to the worst in the Church. Their book points to the best. Legacies of Faith presents in colored photos, architectural descriptions, and brief histories all 52 Catholic Churches of Stearns County, MN.
The brothers Roscoe wrote that, when showing their out-of-state brother the beauty, grandeur, and overall magnificence of churches in Stearns, they realized with a shock, "The architecture we were seeing surpassed all but a few of the churches recently visited in rural northern Italy."
The churches are extraordinary and this county is extraordinary. John Ireland, Archbishop of St. Paul, called it "a new Germany" and that's half of it. It must be the largest concentration of German Catholics in the country and their churches, inspired by the best of European culture, are architectural gems. Stearns is my lifetime geographical home and I could say much more about its German Catholicism, but not now.
For some people who understand religious myth, Bishop John Shelby Spong tells it like it is. I first responded to his work less enthusiastically. Yes, he did a good job explaining the silliness of literal belief, but he offered no spiritual uplift.
Spong has evolved, as this MPR Midmorning interview with Kerri Miller shows. I like the way he answered my questions and related questions. My faith in the Other Side continues stronger than his, but that's all right.
"So why stay?" December 1,2011
In response to my last post, a reader wanted me to say more about "why the heck I stay in the Catholic Church." He wanted to know,
why we should be on the train at all—because Jesus has been polluted and contaminated beyond all recognition.I agreed to write about this question that I have been asking myself for over 30 years. I wonder if some readers remember that the first chapter of God Is Not Three Guys in the Sky is titled "So why stay?"
This reader wanted more:
I hope it addresses not only why you haven't left the church but also why you haven't left Jesus—given the sorry history of Christianity.Answer: I decouple Jesus from the institutional Church. U.S Bishops Conference president, Archbishop Timothy Dolan admitted this is what Christians do.
. . . as the chilling statistics we cannot ignore tell us, fewer and fewer of our beloved people—to say nothing about those outside the household of the faith—are convinced that Jesus and his church are one.So let's not blame Jesus for Christianity's faults.
Churches are human institutions; I believe Jesus represents the life force we call God.
Church preaching can be mistaken and culturally specific;
Jesus' preaching puzzles and can be misinterpreted, but it speaks to all humans irrespective of culture.
Churches make and enforce rules, some of which themselves violate morality, exemplified by official Catholic bans on contraception, all homosexual activity no matter how loving, and abortion even when it saves a life instead of taking one. Exemplified further by the Catholic Church's despicable record on women's ordination and on prominent Catholics who obey conscience instead of hierarchy. Three examples of the latter are Roy Bourgeois and Bishop Thomas Gumbleton and Sister Margaret Mary McBride
To appreciate the gulf between Jesus and Christianity, I recommend reading the Gospels of Mark, Luke, and Matthew, in this order, with eyes cleansed of church propaganda. A useful aid is The Five Gospels: the Search for the Authentic Words of Jesus by Robert Funk and the Jesus Seminar. Also place the Jesus you find there alongside shamans in cultures around the world. Strip Jesus of the garbage laid on him by Christian churches.
Remember—Jesus did not claim he's God, he did not tell people to worship him, he did not discriminate against women, did not impose specific prayers on people, did not make rules that people know in their hearts are senseless.
Maybe you will not love Jesus even after finding what the man truly stands for. It's OK. There are ways to be spiritual without being devoted to Jesus. I esteem Jesus' sharp revolutionary challenges to religious conventions, but I have to admit it is cultural factors that keep me in the tradition. Each person has to find her or his own way.

Adding Options to Products in OpenCart
Now that you have set up your global options in the previous tutorial, you can begin to apply them to specific products. That way, your customers can order specific sizes, colors, and versions of your products. Adding options to a product is done through your OpenCart Dashboard.
- Log into your OpenCart Dashboard
- Go to Catalog > Products
- Select the product you want to add an option to by clicking on "Edit"
- Go to the "Option" tab
- In the box with the green "+" icon, start typing the name of the "option" you created in the previous tutorial and choose the option from the auto suggest
- Click on the green "+" icon
- Depending on the option you will see different fields. Click on "Add Option Value"
- Choose the Option Value, Stock, Price, Weight, etc. that you want to set for that product when a user chooses the specific option. Click "Save" when you have set all the option values
OpenCart allows you to use "Options" globally. If your options are generic like colors or sizes you can use them on multiple products to save time without adding them to the options page in OpenCart. Just edit the next product and start typing the option again and the option will appear.
If you need further assistance please feel free to ask a question on our support center. Try hosting OpenCart with InMotion Hosting! Go to InMotion Web Hosting for OpenCart!

Installing OpenCart and Adding Products
2019-01-02 9:58 pm
I have successfully added a few options to a product and the drop down works fine however if I add say a quantity of 5 of an option, the cart only shows 1 so the customer will have to update quantity again in the cart. What am I missing here?
I'm just standing this up, no customizations other than styles, version 188.8.131.52
2019-01-03 11:15 am
This tutorial is for setting options for product and determining the amount in stock that you have. It sounds like you're translating this as the customer's quantity per purchase. You can set a minimum quantity in the product or you can also create product bundles that include groups of products, but it may require an extension added to your installation depending on what you're trying to do. When a customer is viewing the front end of OpenCart and they select a quantity there, then it should also be the same in the cart. If that is not the case, then double-check your options and also how inventory is kept for that item. If the issue appears to be an Opencart bug, then you will need to contact the support staff for OpenCart directly.

In option we have only one text box option.But if we want to add 2 text boxes how to add in option(one label next to 2 continues text boxes);
2018-01-11 10:18 am
If you're trying to add something beyond the typical functionality of the OpenCart product then you need to find an extension that can do it for you, or code it yourself. In this case, adding extra text to product can be done through some existing extensions, but they are not free. Check out his extension as an example.

Can we get an attribute to automatically calculate price/kg for food products?
It should show near the price and should be included in compare option automatically.
13,821 Points
2016-12-14 8:25 am
So you would size need to create a weight attribute and assign different prices to different predetermined weights. Each weight would be a simple product under the parent product. So it wouldn't necessarily let the customer input a weight but choose the weight they wanted. Short of this, you would have to look for a custom extension to do it for you which after briefly looking I did not find one.

How to set price per kg for product?
13,821 Points
2016-12-13 8:09 am
You would create a product which represents 1KG of weight. Then the purchaser would buy quantities of the product. So if a customer wanted 17KG of product they would add quantity 17 to the shopping cart.

Hello Rajib,
You may have to make different products for each size or options within the products. You may also want to consider using a module like the one here that is specifically for weight based prices.

Hi ,
I have a problem if someone can help me on it.
Ex: i have 1 item having 5 designs , each design having 5 sizes. i have specific quantity from each ( design & size ). When adding the options as 2 seperate options ( design ) & ( size ) , i can not control the quantities . im putting 2 options as follows :
design1 : 10 pcs and so on size 1 : 10 pcs and so on
design 1 ( 10 pcs ) is 2 pieces per size.
Is there a sloution for that from opencart itself without using external extensions ?
Hope you got my point.
2015-05-12 3:40 am
I am trying to add a new options to a product,the options are not saving..But if I edit the existing option it is saving..
2015-05-12 9:36 am
Hello Anusuya,
Sorry for the problem with adding a new option. You have unfortunately provided very little information about your installation. The version of OpenCart, if you have any extensions installed, the exact steps you took to create the problem, if you transferred this installation, etc. I did take a look around the OpenCart's support forums and there several people reporting similar issues - not really much in terms solutions. However, check out these posts. The max input vars is found in the PHP.INI file. It can be increased.
If the problem persists , or if you need further asistance, please provide us further information and we can look into it further.

There is a latest product carousel on my home page. I want to display some message if there are more sizez available for that product. That is if it has options then diplay message.
How do I check options on this carousel if options are available or not inside the product.
I have written this small code but it give me error:
<?php if ($product['Size']) { ?>
<?php echo "Options Available" ?>
<?php } ?>
Notice: Undefined index: Size in/home/baniyaon/public_html/catalog/view/theme/pav_foodstore_/template/module/pavproductcarousel.tplon line 71
Please suggest solution. How to access options in here?
2015-03-30 9:38 am

Unfortunately we do not provide custom codes solutions. However the error message is stating that the Index (Size) has not yer been defined. You will need to define it earlier in your code before you can use it.

Hello, I wnat to know is there any method to add option in all products. Actually I want customer must select a perticular city from select option in all products. I have create a option for Select City. And i have lots of product in my site.
I dont want to add option in all products by editing each product because its time taken process.
So, is there any method or shortcut how to add a perticular select option in all products without editing each n every product.
I am using Opencart 126.96.36.199 version.
2015-03-16 1:45 pm
Hello Abhinav,
You may want to take a look at the OpenCart Extension directory to see if any of those have the features you want. I did a quick listing for adding features to products in bulk. See if that helps.

Hello. I am just wondering if there is a way to have the selected custom option appear on the invoice and order confirmations. As it stands, I was able to add a color option to my products, and it seems to work beautifully. Thank you for that. Unfortunately, the only way to see what color option they selected is to go into the admin page and click to edit their order. The option is not displaying on any of the paperwork, which is a bit of a nuisance.
Thank you,

Hello Summer,
Sorry for the problem with the invoice. I checked with a developer on this, because we were a little puzzled by it. When we looked on several sites with products and options, these options would always appear on the invoices. Can you tell us what version you are using? Also, are you using any extensions or add-ons? And can you provide information about the product and how you've configured it? Any information that we can get to attempt to duplicate the issue would help us to identify and hopefully resolve the issue.
Please provide us a little more information and we would happy to look into it further.

I was afraid you were going to say that. We are running the latest version of OpenCart. In fact, it was just updated a couple weeks ago. Unfortunately, I think the person who did the update (who is no longer with the company) has done some heavy customization on a lot of files.
Pretty much the only extensions being used are shipping and PayPal. I'll be honest, I am still learning about OpenCart. I had never worked with it before this past fall, and a lot of it is still a mystery to me.
As far as the product, we actually have a whole line of products that we are in the process of adding that have a color option. I was able to follow this tutorial and the previous tutorial to add the color option, and that all seems to be working great. It just isn't being added to the invoice.
The products we have with the color option are all here: www.lampline.com/tomar-9106-c
2015-02-19 11:51 am
I tried replying to this a while ago, but I guess it didn't go through. Oops.
I am not surprised that this is puzzling. I started working at this company last year, and the person who worked here before did some heavy customization to OpenCart. I have no idea what he did to cause this to not show up on the invoices, though. We are running OpenCart 2.0, which was updated right before I started here.
We don't have much for extensions. The only things listed in the Extension area of the admin page are Shipping, Payments, and Order Totals.
The products having issues are all of the products that have a color option. They are warning lights and beacons for industrial and vehicle use. They can all be seen here: http://www.lampline.com/tomar-43-m
As far as how I've configured it... I just followed what was in this guide. It worked well, but is a pain in the butt when it comes time to figure out what color product the customer ordered.

Hello Raya,
This is not normal behavior for the software, meaning that there is an underlying problem. Please provide a bit more information on the issue. What version of OpenCart are you using? Did this work previously? Did you add anything to your OpenCart or make changes between the last time it worked and now? Is it for a specific product? Does it do this every time? Does it do this on multiple browsers or just one? Which browsers have you tested and what versions of the browsers are you using?
Kindest Regards,

Hi i'm having a problem with the quantity.
Ive added 10 to the quantity, but when i try to "buy" 6 pieces it says out of stock, althought its set to 10. It work if i buy 5 pieces? but not more.
The orginal product is 5 left in stock(1kg), but i cant raise that number if a custom buys 6 of them and i only have 5 left.
Here is a screenshot
Sorry for my english, hope you understand =),

Hello Andreas,
From taking a look at your screenshot, it seems that you could be editing the quantity of a different product than the one you're ordering from what I can tell. Either that or you have a special or discount activated.
It looks like the Option Value is the same of 200g (ej spole) between the item in your admin dashboard, and the one in your cart. But the Price is showing 120.0000 in your admin, and with you having 6 of them in your cart it is showing 45.00SEK as the price, and 270.000SEK as the total.
It looks like it should cost 720.00SEK if you were ordering 6 of the same product you've modified the quantity for.
If you do have a special setup, and this is the same product. I might suggest looking at the Data tab for the parent product of these options. Does it have a quantity for the product itself set to 5? I don't think that's the way it's suppose to work, but it seems like your Option Value quantity isn't what the cart is pulling, so perhaps it's basing it off the actual product with no options set?
Please let us know if this helps at all!

I have a product named: pla filament 3mm and i have 5 of those in stock, those weigh 1kg each.I now want to sell 200g of those spools. Same product but i cut 200g of 1kg, for those who dont want to order 1kg spools.thats why its 270sek totalt, 45x6. 200gx6. I also sell those 1kg thats 195sek each.120 (ex vat) in the option is the subtraction from the price (195/1kg) so its correct for 200g. Same with the weight -0.8kg , 200g.The product itself is set to quantity of 5 left in stock. I havent any specials or discounts availible. I just want the customer to have a chance to buy a smaller quantity.Hope you understand my explanation :)Best regards Andreas

Hello Andreas,
Typically when people sell a product at different weights, they create a separate product. For instance if I sold a 5lb block of cheese and a 1lb block of cheese they would be created as two separate products. Options may be used in this case as well, but separate products tends to have less confusion and accidental purchasing of the wrong amount which can lead to more returns.

Hi!Yepp its probably better. But do you know any solution to this problem? Is there a setting or something that i can try to change?Best regards
2014-07-09 12:50 pm
Hello Andreas,
Thank you for your question. A possible option, could be to create a 200g product, then create discounts for multiple purchases.
For example: If you by 5 of the 200g products, it would be be equal to 1kg, and result in a discount.
Aside from this, you would most likely have to use a 3rd party OpenCart extension.
If you have any further questions, feel free to post them below.
Thank you,

How to I add the size to the colour options I have created?
Say White - medium and large
Black - small
2014-07-02 7:52 am
Hello Gemin,
If you want all medium and large shirts to be white and all small shirts to be black, you can simply make the options as they are in the article and just name them as such "large white" "medium white" "small black".
Or if you wish to offer both sizes and colors as different options, simply make an option for each one.

Hi Scott,
I'm having the same issue as Radhamani I think. I've set the global product options and added these options to my product as described in all documentation. The dropdowns appear on my product page with a default option of 'Please Select', but when clicking on the arrows, none of my options are available to select.
Please can you tell me why this is, and how to fix this issue? I have refreshed page several times and cleared cache, etc, but still no product options...
2014-06-30 9:03 am
This can happen if you do not add the various option values within the product. Clicking the Add Option Value will allow you to add the various option values to the option itself.
2014-06-30 9:06 am
hi chalky,
i solved that issue using one vqmod file.
link here:http: //www.opencart.com/index.php?route=extension/extension/info&extension_id=10817
2014-06-30 10:06 am
Thanks. My issue was that I didn't specify Quantity and had Subtract Stock set to Yes, and this was resolved by setting Subtract Stock to No. I'm sure I could alternatively have simply specified a Quantity :)
2014-06-26 8:33 am
hi friend,
i need solution for my product options.
if i change the product type means image also change. examplely if i add 6 type of color in similar bag. if i go to change color means bag image also change.
2014-06-26 9:21 am
Functionality to change the product image when changing the options is not available within the stock OpenCart installation, but there are additional plugins that allow you to change the product image based on the options selected. I do not have experience with any of these plugins, but they should be what you are looking for.
2014-06-27 10:25 am
thanks a lot for your response..
2014-06-05 3:29 am
I make a select option for different color and also i add some price for those different color. But in the product list details page, i show the selectbox without the options. can you please tell me the solutions?
2014-06-05 9:00 am
Could you clarify exactly what you see? Be sure that the quantity is set and all options are properly configured as this article describes. I would be able to better recognize the issue with a screenshot of what you are seeing if you could provide it.
2014-04-28 8:42 am
product color list changing everytime i edit the colors in the colors option
2014-04-28 2:56 pm
Hello radhamani,
What type of specific behavior are you seeing when editing your options?
Kindest Regards,
Scott M

Every day my email inbox receives countless mails from random's around the world wanting to tell me how i can be rich. I look at them thinking if only it was that simple its rubbish as i press delete. Until now that is as I have finally discovered the path to the promised land, untold riches, the ultimate get rich scheme for little effort. That path is called Islam. Start a Muslim group in the UK, register as a charitable organization and hey presto various government departments and local authorities will throw large sums of money at you to fund your lavish lifestyle. If your really lucky you can even employ a few of your mates as paid advisors. Hell, mention Islamophobia or community cohesion in your mission statement and get even more £££££. Its even recession proof as the funds keep being handed out to Muslim groups show despite the government making cuts everywhere else
After yesterdays FOI Exposé when it was revealed Bolton Council have been bank rolling The Bolton Council Of Mosques with grants totalling over £1.1 million. Now following another FOI request, Kafir Crusaders can reveal that Muslim storyteller and fixer of figures Fiyaz Mughal (via TellMama and Faith Matters) has received over £750,000 in the last 5 years from the Department for Communities and Local Government in funding
For background info on Fiyaz Mughal, Tell Mama and Faith Matters i recommend this eye-opening post from fahrenheit211
Freedom of Information Request Relating to Funding for Faith Matters
You requested information for the last 5 years of any funding allocated to the following organizations Faith Matters and Tell Mama. You wanted it to include the date, how much funding, and a description of the project.I have considered your request under the terms of the Freedom of Information Act 2000. I confirm that the Department holds the information that you have requested, and I am able to supply it to you. The information that you have requested is as follows. Tell MAMA is a project managed by Faith Matters so it is included in the list of other projects. The payments from DCLG to Faith Matters, the relevant dates and project descriptions, are as follows:
|Financial Year
|Project Description
|2012-13,2011-12 &
|Measuring Anti-Muslim Attacks (Tell MAMA)
|Role model for Muslim Women project
|Muslim Chaplaincy project
|Muslim Chaplaincy project
|Caring for converts project
|Muslim Chaplaincy project
|Compilation of Mosque directory for Muslim women
|Role model for Muslim Women project
|Cohesive Communities Programme
|Living Islam out Loud project
|Caring for converts project
|Muslim Chaplaincy project
|Mosques Directory compilation
|Role model for Muslim Women project
|Cohesion and Faiths Funding
|Living Islam out Loud project
As you can see Mughal's TellMama and Faith Matters ventures really are like an Islamic money making machine. WTF £37k for a Mosque directory (which are plentiful on-line) in 2008-09 then the same amount again the next year for a directory of Mosques for women ! This is little more than a list of the 100 least sexist and most woman friendly UK mosques. Fiyaz Mughal OBE is certainly in the running to be awarded a BOTD to go alongside his OBE….Bullshitter Off The Decade

I'm sure you recognize the reference here. In case you were in doubt, the Belgian artist Jan Fabre is reinterpreting the most iconic work of the renaissance, Michelangelo's Pietà.
Michelangelo's famous work of art depicts the body of Jesus on the lap of his mother Mary after the Crucifixion.
Fabre's interpretation gets personal, a little macabre, and a bit controversial…
In his rendition, Fabre places himself as Jesus with a butterfly perched on the side of his mouth. The heavy, dead-looking body wears a crisp, classy but torn suite. A closer look reveals a scarab at the edge of his cuff that is slowly drifting off towards the artist's lifeless hand, which is tenuously holding on to a human brain.
The Virgin Mary's face is replaced by a skull, which many would say is a reference to the Vanitas, the universal symbol of death.
The work was shown in Venice in 2011. This was in close relation to, but not a part of the 54th edition of the Venice Biennale. Given the place and the country (a very religious one) in which it was shown, you can image the controversy it created. The artist commented on the matter:
"is not to convey a blasphemous or even merely or provocative message. This work represents a "performance sculpture" that illustrates a mother's real feelings when she yearns to take the place of her dead son."

Soquel district passes water rate increase; dozens protest move, citing insufficient notice
By Kimberly White
Santa Cruz Sentinel, 2/6/13
CAPITOLA -- Ratepayers with the Soquel Creek Water District will pay an average of 9 percent more each year for their water starting next month, with the average bi-monthly bill going up by about $21 by 2015.
The Board of Directors unanimously approved the three-year increase after a nearly two-hour public hearing Tuesday. About two dozen spoke out against the proposal, many citing inadequate notice in a notification sent at the height of the holidays, and confusing charts and graphs used to explain the rate changes.
Some also charged they are being penalized for conserving water, which the district encourages but, in a twist of irony, results in fewer funds. Some also took issue with the district's plan to use some of the funding to pay for an environmental impact report related to the controversial desalination plant now being studied by the district and Santa Cruz Water Department.
"I am not in favor of the desal plant," said Soquel resident Joan Vanek, adding the latest increase "is not going to fund desal, but the next one is and it looks like it's going to happen no matter what."
Another Soquel resident, Rama Khalsa, offered up several suggestions, including that the district switch to a monthly billing system, and investigate the possibility of having private well owners pick up some of the costs to maintain the waterworks.
"They are definitely using the water and it doesn't make sense for the rest of us to be paying for all the improvements," she added.
The district provides water to about 38,000 customers, nearly all of them single-family homes. To prevent the increase from going into effect, a majority of the customers had to turn in written letters of protest by the end of Tuesday's public hearing.
The increase goes into effect March 1 and will raise about $4.7 million, which will largely be used to pay for about $25 million in capital improvement projects during the next three years. For example, work started this week on a yearlong project to replace a section of main on Soquel Drive, part of a $36 million plan to replace 14 to 16 miles of main during the next decade, according to Mike Wilson, the district's associate civil engineer.
Late last year, a new well began operating at the Santa Cruz County Polo Grounds off Soquel Drive, and construction will begin in the summer on another well at the O'Neill Ranch near Anna Jean Cummings Park. With three other wells slated to be built in the coming years, the district pegs those costs at about $4.6 million.
Meanwhile, a draft environmental review of the desalination plant is expected to be complete in late spring, according to Melanie Schumacher, the project's public outreach coordinator. The $1.7 million cost of that study is being split evenly between the district and the Santa Cruz Water Department.

Welcome to the Hopewell Rocks
The Hopewell Rocks is a place to pause…a place to appreciate a remarkable story interwoven through time, tide, and the intricacies of nature. These are the highest tides in the world. And they happen twice a day....every day.
How to Get Here
Season Dates
Latest News
The Fundy Region
Group Rates
Tide Tables
Did you know?
The reddish cliffs at the Hopewell Rocks were first formed millions of years ago as a massive mountain range – older than the Appalachians and larger than the Canadian Rockies – began to erode.
The Bay of Fundy tides can reach up to 15m (50 ft) – the height of a four-storey building – twice every day.
While the gravitational forces of the sun and moon combine to create a continuum of tidal action the world over, two unique characteristics of the Bay of Fundy help create the highest tides on the planet.
The native Mi'kmaq, who first knew the tides of the Bay of Fundy better than anyone, created and passed on colourful legends to explain its mysteries.
The term 'Flowerpot Rocks' was coined for the unusual shape of the formations and the tenacious trees that cling to their tops.
Each summer, for a 4-6 week period beginning in mid-July, 1-2.5 million shorebirds arrive in waves at the Hopewell Rocks and other Bay of Fundy locations on their journey south.
The highest tide ever recorded was in the upper reaches of the Bay of Fundy where the tides can rise and fall over 50 ft (16 m) in extreme circumstances.

Approximately 43 million Americans suffer from age-related macular degeneration (AMD) or cataracts, the two leading causes of vision loss and blindness. Based on research from multiple studies, there is a strong correlation between good nutrition and the prevention of these age-related eye diseases. By eating foods rich in six nutrients - antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin, essential fatty acids, vitamins C and E and the mineral zinc - you can help protect your eye sight and vision.
Research shows that 30 million (or one out of four) Americans age 40 and older suffer from some level of vision loss. According to the AOA's 2008 American Eye-Q® survey, which assesses public knowledge and understanding of a wide range of issues related to eye and visual health, only 29 percent of Americans are coping with vision loss or other eye problems by increasing nutrients for healthy eyes.
"Basic and clinical research has shown that nutrients in eye-healthy foods can slow vision loss," said Dr. Stuart Richer, optometrist and AOA's Vision and Nutrition Expert. "Indeed, in some cases, these foods can even improve vision, while providing additional health benefits to the patient."
Healthy Fruits and Vegetables
Together, the AOA and registered dietician Elizabeth Somer recommend eating a diet with a variety of foods loaded with key nutrients for maintaining and improving eye health, such as lutein (LOO-teen) and zeaxanthin.
The American Eye-Q® survey showed that nearly half of all Americans (48 percent) still believe carrots are the best food for eye health. While carrots do contain nutritional value by supplying the provitamin A beta-carotene which is essential for night vision, spinach and other dark, leafy greens prove to be the healthiest foods for eyes because they naturally contain large amounts of lutein and zeaxanthin.
The AOA, along with nutritional ingredient manufacturers Kemin and DSM, recommend the following foods which contain the key nutrients for eye health:
-- Lutein and zeaxanthin: Colorful fruits and vegetables such as broccoli, spinach, kale, corn, green beans, peas, oranges and tangerines
-- Essential fatty acids: Fatty fish like tuna, salmon, or herring, whole grain foods, chicken and eggs
-- Vitamin C: Fruits and vegetables, including oranges, grapefruit, strawberries, papaya, green peppers and tomatoes
-- Vitamin E: Vegetable oils, such as safflower or corn oil, almonds, pecans, sweet potatoes, and sunflower seeds
-- Zinc: Extra-lean red meat, poultry, liver, shellfish, milk, baked beans, and whole grains "Nutrition is a component of health for the entire body, including the eyes," said Somer, a registered dietician and nutrition research expert. "I suggest incorporating nutritious ingredients into daily menus. There are some great, quick and simple recipes that promote healthy eye sight and vision."
One example of a quick and easy eye-healthy recipe includes:
Whole-Wheat Penne with Spinach and Gorgonzola
10 oz. uncooked whole-wheat penne pasta
Olive oil cooking spray
1 1/2 cup yellow onion, diced (approximately 1 medium onion)
3 large garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup chicken broth
3 Roma tomatoes, chopped (approximately 2 cups)
1 (6-ounce) bag fresh baby spinach
1/3 cup fresh basil, chopped or 1 teaspoon dried basil
salt and pepper to taste
2/3 cup crumbled gorgonzola cheese [or substitute 1/2 cup low-fat freshly-
grated parmesan cheese]
1/3 cup pine nuts (optional)
-- Cook pasta according to package directions, without salting water.
-- While pasta is cooking, spray a large, non-stick frying pan with cooking spray. Heat over medium-high heat. Add onions, then stir and cook until slightly transparent, approximately 5 minutes. Add garlic, stir and cook for another minute. Add broth and let simmer for 3 minutes. Add tomatoes, toss, and simmer for 2 minutes. Add spinach and basil, cook and stir for approximately 2 minutes, or until leaves wilt. Remove from heat and salt/pepper to taste.
-- Drain pasta and add to spinach mixture. Thoroughly toss. Serve on a platter and top with gorgonzola (or parmesan) cheese and pine nuts. Makes 6 servings.
Nutritional Information (per serving): 300 Calories; 25% fat (8.3 g total, 2.8 g saturated), 57% carbohydrate (43 g), 18% protein (13.5 g), 8 mg cholesterol, 8.6 g fiber, 27 mg vitamin C, 1.33 mg vitamin E, 20.4 mg lutein/zeaxanthin, 271 mg sodium.
Did You Know?
-- Eating spinach can reduce your risk of getting certain eye diseases like AMD because it contains a large amount of lutein, an important eye nutrient. In order to maintain healthy eyes, add 10 mg of lutein to your diet each day or eat one cup of cooked spinach four times a week.
-- More than 50 percent of Americans do not take in the recommended dosage of Vitamin C per day. Vitamin C has been linked, in approved amounts, to minimize or reduce the risk of cataracts and AMD.
-- One cup (8 fl oz) of orange juice per day contains 81.6 mg/serving of Vitamin C, more than enough to help offset some eye diseases.

Careful Claiming Car Donations
1 comment:
- Giana Forzareli said...
Awesome information! I have been looking around for a while to donate my car. I am glad you are allowing your readers to become aware of the trials of vehicle donation . Luckily, after all my research I found a charity that gives the proceeds to job training in the community. It interested me because the program was a innovative way of contributing. I was glad to find a vehicle donation charity that was properly established. Goodwill Greater Washington was my choice because it was legitimate and is federally approved. They provide 501(3)(c)documents when you want to claim your deduction.
Other charities only donate the money, but went above and assisted the community. Proper job training is important in this job climate. A community member is now able to receive a job that may have never applied. These are exciting opportunities for the many with little job training. I am now confident that I was careful when my donation was claimed.

Would Google have its own SDK name for Glass? Of course it would. The Google Glass Development Kit (GDK) is currently in preview mode and is hoped to bring application control and new features to Glass developers.
Google will be renaming the term "software" and now talks of Glassware. The firm's Timothy Jordan has noted (using Google+) that developers have already started building Glassware with the Mirror API. "[Programmers] today will have even broader access to Glass with a Sneak Peek of the Glass Development Kit," wrote Jordan.
The GDK APIs are yet to be finalized or made fully available, but this will very likely be one of the next stages of the project witnessed publicly.
Google heeds that before any programmer starts to use the GDK, they need "intermediate or better" knowledge in Android development.
According to Google, "We recommend starting with the Building Your First App training class at the Android developers site and then building a few simple Android apps before building GDK Glassware."
Developers can now look around at developers.google.com/glass/ to also get their hands on case studies and examples, developers docs detailing best practice techniques, Glassware design patterns (UX patterns to give users a "consistent experience" across all Glassware, and other information such as the Google Mirror API Playground, to allow experimentation in terms of how content is displayed on Glass.

On my last Sunday at Saint Barnabas, where I led music for almost 27 years, the new music director asked me to share my philosophy of church music with some key instrumentalists. It was a good occasion to rehearse what to me is the role of music in biblical worship.
First, be eclectic. Select the best from a variety of styles and sources. This is fundamental to being the church.
The Christian church exists almost everywhere because, as missiologist Andrew Walls discovered, Christianity has been far more culturally adaptable than other religions. Yes, I know the horror stories of Western missionaries imposing insipid Victorian hymns on African and Asian converts. But I also know about missionaries—from Baptist to Jesuit—who have helped new groups of believers cultivate worship in their culturally unique musical vocabulary.
To worship as part of a global church, we must find small ways to incorporate music from other cultures. At Saint Barnabas, we recently sang a Tibetan arrangement of the Lord's Prayer, the multilingual Xhosa-Zulu-Sesotho hymn "Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika" ("Lord Bless Africa"), and an Old Church Slavonic chant.
The Christian church has culturally cross-pollinated its worship for almost two millennia. Egeria, a fourth-century Spanish pilgrim, wrote an eyewitness account of worship practices in Jerusalem. Those practices became the basis for the emerging liturgical year. In the sixth century, after retaking the Italian peninsula from the Ostrogoths, Emperor Justinian appointed three popes. The result was "blended worship," a mix of East and West that brought the Hebrew Halleluia and the Greek Kyrie Eleison—"Lord, have mercy"—to our common ...1

Before starting a broker, there are two preliminary system-level tasks to perform: synchronizing system clocks and (on the Solaris or Linux platform) setting the file descriptor limit. The following sections describe these tasks.
Before starting any brokers or clients, it is important to synchronize the clocks on all hosts that will interact with the Message Queue system. Synchronization is particularly crucial if you are using message expiration (time-to-live). Time stamps from clocks that are not synchronized could prevent message expiration from working as expected and prevent the delivery of messages. Synchronization is also crucial for broker clusters.
Configure your systems to run a time synchronization protocol, such as Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP). Time synchronization is generally supported by the xntpd daemon on Solaris and Linux, and by the W32Time service on Windows. (See your operating system documentation for information about configuring this service.) After the broker is running, avoid setting the system clock backward.
On the Solaris and Linux platforms, the shell in which a client or broker is running places a soft limit on the number of file descriptors that a process can use. In Message Queue, each connection a client makes, or a broker accepts, uses one of these file descriptors. Each physical destination that has persistent messages also uses a file descriptor.
As a result, the file descriptor limit constrains the number of connections a broker or client can have. By default, the maximum is 256 connections on Solaris or 1024 on Linux. (In practice, the connection limit is actually lower than this because of the use of file descriptors for persistent data storage.) If you need more connections than this, you must raise the file descriptor limit in each shell in which a client or broker will be executing. For information on how to do this, see the man page for the ulimit command.

Monitor Calibration: So that what you see is what you'll get.
To calibrate your monitor you can use hardware tools like ColorVision Spyder, MonacoOPTIX, or Gretag Macbeth Eye-One. Or, you can rely on your own color matching abilities and go for a software calibration with something like Adobe Gamma. If you are using Adobe Photoshop on Windows or MacOS, use the Adobe Gamma Control Panel, which is automatically installed with the program. Do not use Adobe Gamma if you are working on the Macintosh and have already run the ColorSync Calibration Assistant.
