Ok guys.. I'm about to start westside powerlifting training and have a few chest questions.
I have a large chest naturaly (simply my body form) and don't want to add any mass to my chest. Rather I'm looking for strength and density.
I know that rep counts under 5 reps are primarily for strength.
Westside uses 1-3 reps, so I'm hoping that my chest mass won't increase any or maybe just a little.. I have good symmetry and decent size for my frame, but don't want too big a chest... will I be ok?
Also, while I'm at it> Is the chest primarily fast or slow switch fibers? Would high rep pushups help my situation (seeking strength and density that is with minimal mass), such as 40-70 pushups?
Thanks in advance bros, I'm really looking for anwers to both of the above questions

Telling others about your goals forces you to accomplish your goals.
Telling your support system like your family and friends about your personal goals will inspire someone to complete their goal. Having the support system set up is a motivating tool to succeed. For instance, a person wants to quit smoking so said person tells family and friends that quitting is a goal with a set date. The support system that was informed of the goal will most likely remind that person that quitting is a goal whenever they see that person smoking. Without telling anyone about the goal it would be very easy to just forget it and not feel any guilt for failing. With the support system in place that person will feel a greater satisfaction for completing it by a receiving appraise from them.

MADISON (WSAU) A lobbyist for Gogebic Taconite says he believes there are enough votes in the state Legislature to pass mining incentives that were defeated in March. Bob Seitz tells the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that the mining firm is taking a "wait-and-see attitude" about re-instating a project it scrapped after the last mining bill was voted down.
At a hearing last week, Tim Sullivan of the state's Mining Association said a new bill needs to be different from the previous package – which Democrats said would have slashed environmental protections and reduced public input. Sullivan says federal officials could raise objections to whatever the state does – and it might take a mining company five years or more to get a required state permit. But Gogebic's lobbyist says it shouldn't take that long – and Seitz says the political landscape has changed enough to get it done.
Last week Republican Tom Tiffany of Hazelhurst was named to chair the Senate's mining panel. Tiffany was a strong supporter of last spring's Assembly package, which was later watered down in the Senate. Gogebic started planning for the largest mine in state history – a $1.5-billion dollar iron ore mine stretching along parts of Ashland and Iron counties. But the firm dropped the project after the Senate's actions in March. Seitz says Gogebic has been watching the latest developments.
Governor Scott Walker says that if a bill could pass early next year, Gogebic could get started soon after. Seitz says an early approval could let Gogebic get data on wetlands in its project area when water levels are high in the spring.

Obama signs legislation ending FAA furloughs
Thursday - 5/2/2013, 9:48am EDT
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama has signed into law a bill to end furloughs of air traffic controllers.
The furloughs stemmed from the automatic, across-the-board spending cuts that started taking effect in March.
Millions of air travelers were affected recently by delayed flights across the country because of the furloughs.
Congress moved quickly on a fix, despite Obama's preference that the cuts be replaced all at once rather than piecemeal.
A typo in the legislation delayed getting the bill to Obama, but Congress worked out the glitch Tuesday, and the president signed it Wednesday.
The bill lets the FAA transfer around as much as $253 million to prevent staffing reductions through September, when the current budget year ends.
The FAA had started resuming normal operations in anticipation of Obama signing the measure.

Nashua officers leave jobs, keep guns
NASHUA - A long-held policy of allowing retiring police officers to keep their weapons has one former officer up in arms.
Retired Nashua police officer and former union president Anthony Pivero questioned the department's policy of allowing retirees to keep their sidearms.
In the Queen City, retirees from the Manchester Police Department are not allowed to purchase their weapons, according to Lt. Maureen Tessier.
A slight exception was made a couple years ago when the department upgraded its weapons. Old weapons were returned to Sig Sauer, which then gave officers the opportunity to purchase their service weapon. The transactions did not involve the city. Tessier does not know how many officers took advantage of the offer.
The Hooksett Police Department retains ownership of old service weapons, Hooksett Police Chief Peter Bartlett said.
"There is no policy to allow retiring officers to either take ownership of or purchase their duty weapon," Bartlett said.
Pivero, at a Nashua Police Commission meeting last week, questioned the cost to taxpayers and the potential liability if any of the weapons were traced back to the city of Nashua after being improperly used.
In essence, the people tasked with enforcing laws are disregarding city rules for disposing of municipal property, basically giving it away, Pivero said.
The city ordinance requires that agencies report equipment that will no longer be used to the purchasing manager, who can transfer the property to other departments or establish a fair market price for bidding. With Finance Committee approval, the purchasing department can also donate, barter, or dispose of equipment that has not been sold or traded.
"If there are no checks and balances in place, people will do whatever they want," Pivero said.
Sentimental reasons
Nashua Police Commission Chairman Thomas Pappas said retiring officers are given a plaque, a badge, and the option to keep their service revolver.
"My sense is many may take it for sentimental reasons," Pappas said.
The policy has been around for so long he never thought to question it, Pappas said.
"It's been in place for at least 30 years," Pappas said, adding that ownership of the weapon is transferred from the police department to the retiring officer through a registered dealer to comply with gun ownership laws. The value can vary, according to the type and age of the weapon.
"It's my understanding a brand-new weapon costs $400 to $450, in that range," Pappas said.
Nashua Mayor Donnalee Lozeau said she was unaware of the policy before the meeting and does not believe the police department should set its own policy regarding disposal of property, especially equipment that can be reused.
"It's important that the city has a policy and it's important that every department and division follow that policy," Lozeau said.
Gun policy stays
Police Chief John Seusing said he does not plan to end the decades-old policy.
"That's a practice that I think has been going on longer than I've been here," Seusing said.
The number of retirees varies from year to year, but Seusing estimated around eight to 10 officers retire annually and accept the offer to keep their sidearm more times than not. The weapon is free, but any costs associated with transferring ownership fall to the officer, Seusing said.
The practice provides a thank-you for many years of service and ensures the weapon is in the hands of a known owner qualified to use it, he said.
"We do not reissue older, used weapons to new officers," Seusing said.
By retirement, an average service weapon has fired thousands of rounds through training and would likely require maintenance and replacement of internal parts before it could be turned over to a new officer, he said. Instead, the department equips new officers, who will likely spend 20-plus years on the force, with a new weapon, Seusing said.
Goffstown, Portsmouth
Goffstown and Portsmouth offer programs to retiring officers with the assistance of their respective police associations. It's customary for the Goffstown Police Association to purchase a retiring officer's weapon as a gift after 20 years of service, according to Capt. Robert Browne. The association is a separate entity from the police department. Money from the sale is used to purchase a weapon for an incoming officer.
When the department upgraded from .357 revolvers to semiautomatic firearms around 1996, the association purchased the new weapons for the department at no cost to taxpayers, he said.
Portsmouth retiring officers can get their service weapons with the assistance of the Portsmouth Police Relief Association. After 20 years of service, the association offers to purchase the weapon as a gift to the officer or provide the retiree with a small cash gift, said Lt. Darrin Sargent of the Portsmouth Police. The value of the gift or weapon is approximately $350, he said. Most officers opt to take the weapon, Sargent said.

Twas the night before Weaselmas, in Harren's house
Not a creature was stirring (except for one mouse)
The captives were hung on the gibbet with care,
In hopes that Lord Tywin would pay a fair share
Pretty Pia was busy, in somebody's bed,
While visions of slaughter danced in my head
In the kitchen was Hot Pie, whom I wanted to slap
Gendry was silent, taking some sort of nap.
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
On the hearing of horns and the snap of a lash
A prisoner column was marched through the gate
Beaten and bleeding, a horrible fate
Then, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a lord on a zorse with a lisp and a leer
Plus his monsterous gang who'd kill for a groat
I knew in a moment it must be The Goat
Like rats to a nest, the foragers came
As he mumbled and muttered and called them by name:
"Now fighters, now Biter, now Zollo and Rorge,
On japers, on rapers, on skinners and more !
Off the the dungeons the prisoners go
And Amory Lorch can sup on some crow !"
The Mummers passed by, and the captives went forth
I pondered my duty to the King In The North
When out of the shadows a man pulled me close by
Jaqen H'Ghar looking hungry and sly
"Gods are not mocked, nor ignored, nor defamed
They're also impatient, a man needs a third name."
I wanted more names, more people to slay
Jaqen would not help, but I soon found the way
"Jaqen H'Ghar is name number three,
Help me with others, or else cease to be"
He grudingly bent, and called me "evil child"
Though I think I'm just northern and wolfish and wild
Down to the kitchens for scalding hot broth
Then breaking the cages, where the northmen were wroth
Lord Glover once asked how we freed all his troops
They pointed at me and said "Weasel Soup".
The life debt was balanced, the gods had their pay
I released Jaqen, but wished him to stay
Jaqen said "sorry, but this is farewell
A man has his duties, a girl has Winterfell
A girl has proved herself worthy and won
This coin of great value, she needs only one
It is not meant for the buying of horses,
but invoke it at need with Bravvosi forces."
A faceless Lorathi and Harrenhal's Ghost
Had taken a castle without any host
With that moment of smiling, and a sign of respect
I knew he'd be gone before anyone checked,
So now with the terms of our parting arranged,
with a wave of his hand, Jaqen's face changed
And I heard him exclaim, as he strode out of sight —
"Valar Morghulis, and to all a Long Night !"
by Pod the Impaler

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Thousands took a step towards independence to advocate for down syndrome.
Saturday was the 16th annual Down Syndrome of Louisville 5k walk-run at Waterfront Park.
More than 3,000 volunteers participated to celebrate the achievements of people with Down Syndrome.
This year's theme for the walk-run was "Steps to Independence" and it celebrated the achievements of people with Down Syndrome becoming more independent.
Diane Merzweiler, Executive Director for Down Syndrome of Louisville, started as a volunteer years ago and now helps put together the event every year. Merzweiler has a 14-year-old grandson with Down Syndrome who motivates her support behind the organization.
Children and adults with Down Syndrome were featured during a "Spirit Sprint" who raced for medals.
Live entertainment was also provided at Saturday's event.
WDRB's Lindsay Allen and David Scott also showed up to participate.
Down Syndrome is a chromosomal abnormality that affects more than 400,000 people in the United States. Those with Down Syndrome have a variety of abilities.
People who are interested in helping DSL can go to www.downsyndromeoflouisville.org to sign up as volunteers and learn more about the organization.

May 09, 2013, 1:21 PM — Don't look now, Internet, but your pants are on fire.
It seems savvy Netizens have a very simple and effective strategy for dealing with Web sites or mobile apps that ask them for too much personal information: They lie.
A new survey by a public interest group called Customer Commons reveals that an astounding 92 percent of us are perfectly happy to fib, evade, decline, or otherwise prevaricate when asked to cough up information like our names, birthdates, email addresses, and friends.
The big data points here:
* Roughly 60 percent of survey respondents avoided giving out their real email address, street address, or birth date. That bumps up to more than 70 percent for phone numbers and friends lists.
* About a third have provided a fake name, email, birthday, or phone number to a site or app.
* Only about 25 percent say they withhold or fake information often or every time they create an account. Nearly 20 percent say they never lie or withhold information (unless, of course, they were lying when taking this survey).
The number one reason for faking it: Nearly 70 percent say they didn't know the site or app well enough to share, or the site/app didn't really need the information. About half said they were trying to keep their personal information out of the hands of marketers. And between 1 and 3 percent provided fake info to hide from family members or friends. (You know who you are.)
There's good news for site and app providers too: Once people get comfortable with a site, about 40 percent of them will usually go back and correct the fake information they provided initially.
Customer Commons blogger Mary Hodder wrote:
The amazing thing is 92% hide, lie, refuse to install or click, some of the time. We surveyed 1704 people, and had an astonishing 95% completion rate for this survey. We also had 35% of these people writing comments in the "comment more" boxes at the bottom of the multiple choice answers. Also astonishingly high.
People expressed anger, cynicism, frustration. And they said overwhelmingly that the sites and services that ask for data DON'T NEED it. Unless they have to get something shipped from a seller. But people don't believe the sites. There is distrust. The services have failed to enroll the people they want using their services that something necessary is happening, and the people who use the services are mad.
That's the sugar; now for the salt. There are two big caveats about these numbers.

NIKISKI, AL (WTAQ) - A former UW Stout hockey recruit who helped cause the death of another student two years ago has been arrested in Alaska for drunk driving.
23-year-old Jed McGlasson of Nikiski, Alaska was stopped around 3 a.m. Christmas Eve.
Police said he didn't stop for a stop-sign – and he was arrested after he failed sobriety tests. His preliminary blood alcohol level was point-078.
Wisconsin officials say McGlasson is on probation until April, after he pleaded no contest to disorderly conduct in the death of 22-year-old Stout student Bradley Simon in September of 2010.
Charges of being a party to felony murder and aggravated battery were dropped in a plea deal. He served 30 days in jail.
He lost a much more expensive case earlier this month, when a jury ruled in favor of Simon's parents in a wrongful death suit.
The jury said McGlasson and former Stout hockey player Jared Britton were responsible for Simon's death – and they have to pay $591,000.
Officials say that if it's determined that McGlasson violated his probation, he'll have to return to Wisconsin to face punishment.
He now plays hockey at Saint Mary's in Winona Minnesota.
Authorities said Simon was fleeing from McGlasson and Britton on a bicycle after an altercation at a Menomonie tavern. While the hockey players were in pursuit, the victim crashed the bike and he struck his head. Witnesses said one of the two defendants had pushed the bike.
Simon died five days later.

Antrim, Co Antri...
hi, i wanted to make this dress as soon as i saw it in the dec issue. its quite easy to do and i love how it looks. i choose a patterned fabric? probably not a wise decision with the wrap but then i love going against the norm. i think it turned out rather well considering i added full lining and downsized it.. i found it run big and i'm no skinny minny especially after xmas and new year lol. i have made another in sequins but my sewing machines have a huge problem with sequins so its still waiting on getting finished.

"Running your own business really blurs the line between work and play... especially if you're a workaholic like me... One of the victims of my lack of personal time is super important to me and hasn't complained once: Fakey. My dog. Recently I found these great dog walkers in the area and they take him and a bunch of dogs out on what seems like a daily spring break to me... best of all, they swing by with the dogs from time to time to say hey... It sounds like a little thing, but when you're working from 9 to 2 AM everyday, this stuff makes a difference. Today, I'm whipping up some eats for the walkers, and maybe even something for the pooches..."

Soul legend Bill Withers's music has been in the forefront these days. Withers is best known for his classics songs "Ain't No Sunshine," "Lean On Me," "Lovely Day," "Grandma's Hands," and "Just the Two of Us."
Grammy winners Keith Urban and Miguel paid homage to Bill Withers performing "Ain't No Sunshine" last month at the Grammy Nominations concert live.
His songs have been featured in films, documentaries and has been covered on various seasons on "The Voice.
The Sony/ Legacy released box set of Withers titled "The Complete Sussex And Columbia Albums" continues to sell.
Carly Simon has noted that she is a huge fan of Withers and how he is the one songwriter that she has listened to and has been influenced by the most.
Withers was on hand recently to see Smokey Robinson and Berry Gordy to be honor at
The Grammy Museum held its first-ever Architects of Sound Awards benefit gala dinner and concert.
Honoring the contributions to the Motown genre, Gordy received the Architect of Sound: Vision Award and Robinson received the Architect of Sound: Artist Award. Both Gordy and Robinson have been instrumental in shaping the Motown legacy.
The awards took place at the Club Nokia and was hosted by Randy Jackson.Grammy winners Boyz II Men and Kelly Rowland performed at the concert.

You Have a Lot to Worry About if You Own This Stock
Neha is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
When a company that beats Street estimates is awarded with a ratings downgrade, you know you can't just rely on stories that sugar-coat its earnings report. DuPont (NYSE: DD) is one such case that couldn't impress UBS with its fourth-quarter performance. Fellow Fool Rich Smith feels the chemical giant deserves this cut, and I couldn't agree more. In fact, I'd like to add to his observations.
While Rich pin-points DuPont's high valuations and leverage as turn offs, I'll pick on things DuPont said during its earnings call that don't speak well of things to come. CEO Ellen Kullman tried her best to show DuPont in a good light, but whether she succeeded or not is what we need to decide.
Problem of plenty
DuPont further slashed its full-year guidance for its core business, performance chemicals. It expects "sales down moderately and PTOI (pretax operating income) margins to decline by 7 percentage points to 9 percentage points versus near peak margins in 2012."
As the largest producer of titanium dioxide (TiO2), DuPont takes the biggest hit for demand-supply imbalance in the TiO2 market. Customer destocking might soon end, but threat of inflation and substitutes loom large. Huntsman (NYSE: HUN), which reports on Feb. 12, expects its TiO2 margins to be hit by $350 per ton in its fourth quarter. That the company plans to gradually shift away from the business in the years to come underpins concerns. Feedstock costs for Tronox (NYSE: TROX) surged $1000 per ton year-on-year during the third quarter. It expects the trend to continue this year, and sadly does "not expect to see a significant improvement in the pigment market." Naturally, as an input maker, Tronox knows better -- yes, Tronox has vertically integrated to be able to procure 100% of its feedstock requirement internally, so it wins both ways.
As for substitutes, Huntsman has openly voiced concerns over how cheap products from China are increasingly gaining popularity among customers from Europe and other markets. Consulting company TZMI not only considers China as a major threat in the years to come, but also feels that the 2011 peak the TiO2 market enjoyed might never return.
Time to take lessons
For its photovoltaic market, this is what DuPont has to say: "it remains volatile due largely to industry overcapacity with uneven growth rates anticipated over the short-term." In short, this business is another chink in DuPont's armor. Dow Chemical (NYSE: DOW), which gets 10% of its revenue from similar business, expected demand to pick up from the fourth quarter onwards. Sadly, DuPont's numbers didn't confirm.
Dow Chemical has reason to be optimistic anyway. Unlike DuPont, it has made a mark in innovative opportunities such as solar shingles in collaboration with leading homebuilders like D R Horton. This year, rapid capacity expansions and new products are in its cards. With China planning to install 60% higher gigawatts of photovoltaic capacity this year, Dow can aim higher. The same cannot be said for DuPont.
Of costs and claims
At least DuPont's agriculture business should sail smooth, you may think. Well, almost. It's good to know that DuPont introduced a record number of agricultural products last year, including 154 corn hybrids. Agriculture has exhibited superb resilience to economic downturns in the past, and could, much to CEO Ellen Kullman's relief, be DuPont's best bet for growth in the years to come. But Monsanto (NYSE: MON) won't let DuPont rise so easily.
DuPont expects "significant sales increases" for its agriculture business during the first half of the year, but pressured margins because of higher input costs. Interestingly, Monsanto didn't hint at any cost pressures. Is it that the latter enjoys significant cost advantages as the world's top seed company? Monsanto's gross profit rose 12% last quarter for its seeds and genomics segment, and operating profit jumped nearly 50%. Comparatively, DuPont's agriculture division was still deep in the red for the fourth quarter, though losses narrowed by 21% from last year.
To top that, DuPont's overhead expenses on claims and lawsuits are only swelling. Its Imprelis settlements reserve has already run up to $900 million (it could double from here), and the case it lost to Monsanto recently could cost over $1 billion.
Tough luck, DuPont!
After gloomy updates, DuPont bumped up its full-year EPS expectations to 2% to 7% higher than 2012. Good try Ms. Kullman, but sorry, I am not impressed.
That earnings would be hard to come by is not a question anymore, and DuPont knows this. So what can a company in such a situation do to show it's still earning more? Simple -- repurchase shares to reduce the number of shares outstanding, and jack up EPS as a result. Every Foolish investor knows why such buybacks don't hold water (in terms of adding real shareholder value as buybacks are supposed to). If only DuPont's higher EPS rode on improved sales or lower costs. Sigh.
DuPont's shares certainly don't make me want to dive into the company at this point in time. Challenges are aplenty, but tailwinds are few. You might still want to know how DuPont works its way through hurdles. Click here to add DuPont to your stock watchlist to stay updated.

This topic includes statistics on the changes between one land use and another, statistics on the stock and flow of previously-developed land and statistics on the extent of the Green Belt.
Five year land supply for housing as reported by Local Authorities from April 2009.
Data on land use.
Compendium of housing and planning statistics covering most aspects of housing and planning in England
LUCS provides statistics on: development on previously-developed land, the density of new dwellings, changes in the Green Belt, changes in areas of high flood risk, land changing to residential use and changes to developed uses.
Previously-developed land that was developed but is now vacant or derelict and has been so for more than 5 years.
Total amount of vacant and derelict land in Scotland and land reclaimed for new uses since the previous survey.
Compilation of variables collected for Urban Audit II, which focus on a wide range of topics. Covers data for 24 cities in the UK and is available for City, Sub-City District and Larger Urban Zone. Collected into a format consistent with the groupings used by ODPM for Core Cities Report. The groupings are: Social Cohesion, Urban Competitiveness, Urban Liveability, and Urban Governance.
Land Use Changes
In 2009, on a provisional estimate, 80 per cent of new dwellings including conversions�were built on previously-developed land, at a density of 43 dwellings per hectare. Around�2 per cent of new dwellings were built within the Green Belt and around�11 per cent of new dwellings were built in areas of high flood risk.
Previously-Developed Land
In 2007, there were an estimated 62,130 hectares of previously-developed land in England, of which an estimated 33,600 hectares of previously-developed land were vacant or derelict, 54 per cent of the total. The remaining 28,520 hectares were in use but with potential for redevelopment.
Green Belt
In 2009-10, the estimated designated Green Belt land was 1,639,560 hectares, about 13 per cent of the land area of England.� This figure shows a net decrease of 80 hectares when compared with the 2008-09 estimates. This is due to two authorities who adopted new plans which resulted in a real net decrease in the area of Green Belt.
Technical Data
Land Use Changes
These statistics are based on changes in land use, recorded for Communities and Local Government, by Ordnance Survey (OS) during their map revision work since 1985. They relate to the new and previous uses of the land. The dataset for each year is, eventually, very comprehensive. However, there is a time-lag between a land use change occurring and it being recorded.
Therefore, figures are liable to revision. Because of this time-lag some series take longer to become robust than others, and so are not published as quickly. Therefore, statistics showing area (in hectares) are published later than the corresponding percentages, and regional figures are sometimes published later than the national total of the same series.
Local authority data are only published as a four-year average: at this level investigation has shown that annual figures are highly volatile and not robust.
When OS records a land-use change, the information provided includes:
the date of survey�
the grid reference�
the approximate area�
the new and previous use of the site in one of 24 land use categories�
the year change in use occurred�
the estimated number of dwelling units demolished and built
Previously-Developed Land
The estimates in this series are compiled from information on individual sites supplied by local authorities in England, and have been collected annually since 2001. They give a snapshot of the stock of previously-developed land that might be available for redevelopment as at 31 March each year, divided into vacant, derelict and in-use sites.
Authorities are asked to update information on sites provided previously and to provide details of new sites that might be newly available for redevelopment since their previous return. If the current year's return is not available, previous returns are used.
Local authorities are generally not able to make separate reports on all of the previously-developed sites in their area. They are asked to estimate the percentage of the total area of each land type that is covered by their return of individual sites. These completeness percentages are used to provide the grossed national and regional estimates reported.
Green Belt
Communities and Local Government originally captured its own Green Belt data from local authority paper records. This activity was then outsourced to a private sector supplier. Considerable effort was required from departmental staff to quality assure the data provided by the supplier.
Given resource constraints and technological advancements by local authorities, many of whom are now able to produce digital data on the Green Belt, it was concluded that a more cost effective approach would be for Communities and Local Government to build, and subsequently maintain, a new Green Belt dataset from the newly available local authority digital data, therefore also improving quality assurance.
Areas of Green Belt are now derived from large-scale digitisation of Green Belt boundaries, depicted in local (or unitary) development plan maps of local authorities, in order to monitor the overall designation of Green Belt land through the planning system.
These are submitted to Communities and Local Government via its Housing and Planning Statistics electronic data collection system (Interform). Where area measurement using digital mapping technology has replaced traditional methods, there have been some revised estimates despite no changes in boundaries having occurred.
Area of high flood risk
Land assessed as having a 1 in 100 or greater annual probability of river flooding (greater than 1 per cent) or a 1 in 200 or greater annual probability of flooding from the sea (greater than 0.5 per cent) in any year.
A loose term for previously-developed land.
Derelict land and buildings
Land so damaged by previous industrial or other development that it is incapable of beneficial use without treatment. Treatment includes any of the following: demolition, clearing of fixed structures or foundations and levelling.
Land or buildings currently in use and allocated in the local plan and/or having planning permission
Includes all sites, currently in use (with the addition of buildings that have been vacant for less than one year), allocated for development in the adopted plan or with outstanding planning permission where redevelopment has not started).
Land or buildings currently in use where it is known there is potential for redevelopment (but the sites do not have any plan allocation or planning permission)
Includes all sites, currently in use (with the addition of buildings that have been vacant for less than one year), allocated for development in the adopted plan or with outstanding planning permission where redevelopment has not started.
Previously-developed land
Previously-developed land is that which is, or was occupied by, a permanent structure, including the curtilage of the developed land and any associated fixed surface infrastructure.
Previously-developed land which is now vacant
Land that was previously-developed and is now vacant which could be developed without treatment.
Vacant buildings
Vacant buildings, unoccupied for one year or more, that are structurally sound and in a reasonable state of repair (that is, capable of being occupied in their present state).

I cannot say enough positive about my experience in working with Kyle at Lotus Sculpture. I made a purchase of a beautiful Buddha, and it was damaged during shipping. Kyle was so positive and supportive, professional and personable: as unhappy as I am over loosing the beautiful Buddha I had chosen, Kyle worked with me to find another. I am very delighted with my Buddha; the new one has arrived safetly and is even more amazing than Kyle could describe. Every time I have ever contacted Kyle with any question, he has been very quick to respond, and given me good information. My overall experience with Kyle and Lotus Sculpture has been very positive, and I am looking forward to future satisfying events. Thank you, Des.Reviewer:Ava Desiree Hutsell (Warwick, RI, US)
Buying these Ganeshas were a dream of mine for so long and I'm glad I did. Kyle was absolutely wonderful to deal and my Ganeshas came rather quickly and beautifully packaged. They are treasures on my altar and already I'm thinking of my next purchase. Thank you Lotus Sculpture for your wonderful service.Reviewer:Aman Pillay (Auckland, Auckland, NZ)
I have been looking at this statue for years, and knew deep down that I wanted to add it to my collection of other Lotus Sculpture statues. This antique statue is unique (estimated to be between 50 and 200 years old) and was offered to me at such a special discount that I felt overwhelmed when I opened the box, carefully packaged by Kyle and his team. When I looked at Goddess Meenakshi I smiled, because her nose is slightly crooked just like mine! I knew immediately that I am part of her and she is part of me. She is now sitting proudly on a dresser beside another antique statue of Shiva. Their respective heights are perfect. The love couple is complete! Thanks to Lotus Sculpture and Kyle Tortora for his generosity and for giving me this one chance opportunity to be connected to what is close to my heart. May Lotus Sculpture be prosperous!Reviewer:Jenny Wolkowicki (Roselle Park, NJ, US)

- Materials: Hand Painted White Makrana Marble from Rajasthan, India
- Total Height Including Base: 38 inches
- Base Width & Depth: 15 x 6.5 inches
- Weight: 110 pounds
- Hanuman is carved from one piece of white Makrana marble, the same marble used for the Taj Mahal
- His face and halo are hand painted
- Hanuman is one of the heroes of the Ramayana saga
- Hanuman is reknown for his loyalty and courage and love of Lord Rama
- He ships directly from our California gallery
If one were to close your eyes and imagine Hanuman this is the face you would see. Pure love emanates from him. His eyes have burst with compassion. His pink face is in the shape of a heart with his eyebrows framing his face. He is wearing a golden crown with emeralds and rubies painted into it. He has the symbol of Lord Vishnu painted on his forehead. Hanuman is standing with one hand holding a club and the other in the abhaya mudra. His body was left unpainted which further highlights his handsome face.
About Makrana White Marble: Makrana marble is regarded as being the oldest marble in age and the finest quality. Makrana marble is named after a small town in Rajasthan, India where it is mined. Artists have always sought out makrana marble because of its pure white color and its hardness. Makrana marble was made famous for its use as the principle stone in the building of the Taj Mahal. In sculpture the marble is often hand painted in vibrant colors giving a beautiful contrast to the pure white of the marble.
About Hanuman
Hanuman is the son of Vayu, the Hindu God of Wind, and is looked upon by Hindus as the ultimate hero and great devotee of Lord Rama of the Ramayana. He represents the figure of the ideal being, as he is humble yet brave. His physical prowess, mental discipline and spiritual purity have made him extremely popular all over India.
He is a provider of courage, hope, knowledge, intellect and devotion. He is pictured as a robust monkey holding a mace or gada, which is a sign of bravery, and having a picture of Lord Rama tattooed on his chest, which is a sign of his devotion to Lord Rama.
He is also called Mahaveera (the great hero) or Pavan-suta (son of air) or Bajarangbali. In Tamil Nadu he is known as Anjaneya.
White, red and black marble statues are easy to take care of as they just need some annual upkeep to keep them looking as they did when they were first carved. Here are some easy tips to keep your White, red and black marble statues from Lotus Sculpture looking like the gods they are:
- Dust the statue as needed to prevent dirt build up
- To make the statue shine use a cotton cloth to buff the sculpture
- You can use a small amount of natural oil such as coconut oil or olive oil to further polish the sculpture
- Use a tooth brush to get into the hard to reach spaces of the sculpture
- DO NOT TOUCH the painted surfaces of any of the white marble statues. This will damage the painting if done often

How do you plan to serve others? Did you ever know all the facts but not their meaning? How has time changed your perception of something you heard for the first time? What book would you pick to explore Jesuit ideals, community service, and learning?
Boston College this year required an extra essay of no more than 400 words, answering one such question above. It was a simple act that instantly stripped away casual applicants from those who truly wanted to attend BC: Applications for its 2,270 freshman spots dropped nearly 27 percent, from 34,000 to 25,000. Many of the 9,000 applicants who disappeared were probably long shots. Many others were sure bets who really wanted to go somewhere else, tossing in an application to BC in case a preferred college didn't come through.

Coup d'Espace: METALMorphology
May 4 – May 25, 2012
Extended through June 8
Location: WPA Office, 2023 Massachusetts Ave. NW, Washington, DC
Opening Reception: Friday, May 4, 2012, 6:00-8:00pm
Exhibition Hours: Monday – Friday, 10:00am-6:00pm
Edward Bigelow Baker III presents METALmorphology, an exploration of the aesthetic possibilities of scientific processes. Cultivating an artistic practice that draws heavily on his background in physics and chemistry, Baker creates his work by harnessing processes more often used in industrial and scientific settings. For his Coup d'Espace project, Baker presents sculptural work created through the process of electro-deposition, accompanied by a small selection of images that capture the detailed surfaces of the pieces using microphotography.
The process of electro-deposition involves using an electric current to bind metal ions to a surface, thereby creating a metallic crystal. Electro-deposition is used industrially on commercial products, from computers to car finishing. While industrial uses of electro-deposition typically aim for a smooth, clean, finish, Baker uses high voltages to create rough surfaces and rich textures. The resulting transformation mirrors the organic growth process and the texture created is intricate and detailed, displaying roughness down to the scale of micrometers. Simultaneously organic and industrial, delicate yet resilient, Baker's sculptures merge artistic and scientific practice, emerging from both the studio and the laboratory.
