A critical part of making healthy food choices is understanding the nutrition contained in each product. This guide provides the numerical values for calories, fat, carbohydrates, fiber, sugar and protein for each product; below is an explanation to put those numbers in context.
Please remember that the Recommended Daily Intake (RDI) for these nutrients is only a generalized recommendation and should not be substituted for medical advice. Always consult with your doctor if you have concerns about nutrition, weight loss or other health issues.
Average Recommended Daily Intake is 2000 calories.
Calories (kcals) are a measurement of the energy you get from the food you eat. You need calories to function. Eating more calories than your body expends as energy can lead to weight gain when the unused energy is stored as fat in the body. Eating fewer calories will lead to weight loss as your body uses stored fat for energy. It is also important to consider the type of calories you consume: calories from nutrient-dense foods are always preferable to "empty calories" from junk food, which may provide the same energy, but no other benefits and could also be high in fat, sugar or controversial ingredients.
Recommended Daily Intake based on a 2000-calorie diet is 65 grams.
Fats are an energy dense (9 kcals/gram) nutrient. They are needed in a healthy diet to help absorb fat soluble vitamins (A,D,E, K), maintain healthy skin and brain functioning. Some types of fat even contribute to heart health and are an essential part of our diet (omega-3's). There are different types of fats – saturated, monounsaturated, polyunsaturated, of which they have many different types of fatty acids which have a different impact on our health. For example, trans-fats have a negative impact on heart health in that they raise LDL ("bad" cholesterol) and lower HDL ("good" cholesterol).
Recommended Daily Intake based on a 2000-calorie diet is 300 grams.
Carbohydrates have 4 kcals/gram. There are different functions for carbohydrates in our bodies – for example, fiber helps promote optimum digestive health, while starches are broken down to glucose and used as (the preferred source of) energy by our cells. Carbohydrates are in most of our foods – they make up sugars, starches and fibers, which can be found in fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts and seeds.
Recommended Daily Intake based on a 2000-calorie diet is 25 grams.
Dietary fiber is a non-digestible form of carbohydrates and lignin. It is naturally occurring in plant foods and has beneficial health properties. There are different ways to categorize fiber, such as functional and dietary fiber, or the more popular terms "soluble" and "insoluble." Soluble fiber absorbs water. It can help lower cholesterol, increase insulin sensitivity and delay stomach emptying, which leads to a feeling a fullness. Insoluble fiber does not absorb water. It helps prevent constipation, passes through intestines intact, and shortens transit time in gut.
Sugar is a carbohydrate, thus containing 4 kcals/gram. There are naturally occurring and added sugars. Naturally occurring sugars are found in fruits and dairy products, while added sugars refer to a sugar (such as a syrup or granulated sugar) which was added during the manufacturing of a food. According to the American Heart Association, added sugars should be limited to 5% of total calories due to their negative health impacts.
Recommended Daily Intake based on a 2000-calorie diet is 50 grams.
Proteins have 4 kcals/gram. Proteins are required in our bodies as they make up the structure to many important cells – including DNA – and carry out many biological functions, like cell signaling neurotransmitters. There are nine essential amino acids; "essential" means that our bodies cannot produce them and are thus required in the diet. Proteins are found in nearly all foods and those that contain all 9 essential amino acids are referred to as "complete proteins", while foods which do not are called "incomplete proteins." Often, animal proteins are complete, however there are vegan sources of complete proteins such as soy, quinoa and chia seeds.

Hungry visitors have plenty of dining options at this year's Orlando Fringe Festival, two weeks of theatrical revelry continuing through May 28.
There are food and beverage vendors on the lawn between the various performing-arts facilities in Loch Haven Park, where much of the Fringe is located, and the nearby neighborhoods offer an eclectic assortment of restaurants before and after the festivities.
New this year is TheDailyCity.com Food Truck Court. From noon-8 p.m. May 18, 19, 25 and 26, three mobile food vendors will assemble outside the Visual Fringe building, 1427 Alden Road. Food offerings on The Green at Fringe are always a huge draw but the trucks will spice up the choices.
Restaurant choices near the Fringe include:
Anh Hong, 1124 E. Colonial Drive, Orlando; 407-999-2656: Try the papaya salad with shrimp and pork or any of the rice vermicelli entrees.
Atilla's Bar & Grill Turkish Kitchen, 1326 N. Mills Ave.; 407-898-0999; steakandsaladorlando.com: Fresh salads, juicy steaks and Turkish fare.
Bananas Modern American Diner, 924 N. Mills Ave.; 407-480-2200; bananasdiner.com: This is ground zero for comfort food in the Mills 50 district. From-scratch meatloaf, chicken pot pie and Thanksgiving dinner year-round. What's not to like?
Chuan Lu Garden, 1101 E. Colonial Drive in Orlando (adjacent to Ginza Japanese Steakhouse, between Thornton and Mills avenues); 407-896-8966; Chuanlugarden.com: This is the place for Sichuan cuisine at its best. Try the medium-spiced chong qing lazi chicken, cumin lamb and hand-pulled Lanzhou-style style noodle soup.
Dandelion Communitea Café, 618 N. Thornton Ave.; 407-362-1864; dandelioncommunitea.com: The focus here is on organic vegetarian cuisine with a preference for locally sourced ingredients. I love the giddyup (spring greens, blue corn chips, chili, diced tomatoes and scallions with organic dairy cheddar and green goddess dressing).
Forbidden City, 948 N. Mills Ave.; 407-894-5005: The honey garlic chicken is fab at this longtime neighborhood favorite. And keep plenty of water on the table for the fiery Hunan shrimp.
Funky Monkey Wine Co., 912 N. Mills Ave.; 407-427-1447; funkymonkeywine.com: A wonderful concept with good pours, sushi and daily specials. For an appetizer, order the Monkey balls (seasoned rice, soy, green onions, cream cheese, sesame oil and herbs) and you won't be disappointed with how the kitchen handles beef and seafood.
Gargi's Lakeside Italian Ristorante: 1414 N. Orange Ave., 407-894-7907; gargislakeside.com: Perhaps one of the best sunsets in Orlando. From the menu, don't miss the manicotti or chicken Francese or piccata.
Hawkers Asian Street Fare, 1103 N. Mills Ave.; 407-237-0606; hawkersstreetfare.com: Menu fuses Malaysian, Chinese, Vietnamese and Indian fare into an impressive menu. The fried spring onion ginger wings with five-spice seasoning sauce on the side excels in restrained seasoning, leaving just the right hints of everything promised. The jicama salad is a riff on a Malaysian pasembur salad, featuring shredded jicama, cucumber, carrots and bean sprouts tossed in a sweet-sour dressing. Try the tacos with an Asian twist of five-spice fish and roast duck.
King Cajun Crawfish, 914 N. Mills Ave.; 407-704-8863; kingcajuncrawfish.com: In the heart of the Asian district, the flavors and textures of New Orleans cookery ring true in this hole-in-the-wall. The sandwiches are generous and the crawfish wonderfully messy with a nice kick of heat.
Little Saigon, 1106 E. Colonial Drive; 407-423-8539; littlesaigonrestaurant.com: Award-winning restaurant with exceptional noodle soups and rice plates.
Pho 88, 730 N. Mills Ave.; 407-897-3488; pho88orlando.com: Try the beef noodle soup or one of the dozen bánh mì (Vietnamese sub) selections.
Tako Cheena, 932 N. Mills Ave.; 321-236-7457; Tako Cheena by Pom Pom on Facebook: The restaurant's small menu has nuances of the Caribbean and Asia, with touches of Latin America in an ultra-hip deli configuration.
Viet Garden, 1237 E. Colonial Drive; 407-896-4154; vietgardenorlando.com: Economical restaurant is good for groups and offers Thai selections as well as its namesake fare.
White Wolf Cafe, 1829 N. Orange Ave.; 407-895-9911; whitewolfcafe.com: Bohemian White Wolf is known for great breakfasts (fluffy pancakes and eggs), lunches (soups, salads and sandwiches) and dinners (steaks, chops and lobster mac and cheese).
Wolfies Pizzamia, 1905 N. Orange Ave, Orlando (a few doors down from White Wolf Café); 407-237-0921; wolfiespizzamia.com: White Wolf Café has a sibling. With its architectural and eclectic trimmings, Wolfies' dining room is a chip off the old block. Wolfies Pizzamia spotlights Italian fare with a from-scratch approach complete with house-cured meats.

Perhaps even more impressive is the fact that Fort McClellan Credit Union has earned this highest 5-Star rating for 92 consecutive quarters. Having maintained a 5-Star rating for this length of time earns Fort McClellan Credit Union an even more elite designation as a "Sustained Superiority Credit Union". Only 5% of the nation's credit unions have earned Bauer's top rating for so long and with such consistency.
"While many financial institutions may look similar, once you scratch the surface you can find deep variations in the ways they operate. Fort McClellan Credit Union is a financial institution that is focused on its membership base and the success of those members", notes Karen L. Dorway, president of the rating firm. "Operating in this manner has allowed Fort McClellan Credit Union to thrive where others have faltered."
Since its inception in 1953, Fort McClellan Credit Union has been committed to providing the best of banking to its membership. It operates through five conveniently located branch offices in Anniston, Centre, Jacksonville, Ohatchee and Roanoke. Fort McClellan Credit Union (www.fortmcclellancu.org) is a member of the NCUA and an Equal Housing Lender.

Bridgeport National Bindery in Agawam fills on demand books orders from area customers or others as far away as Singapore
on June 24, 2013 at 6:00 AM, updated June 24, 2013 at 10:49 AM
An Agawam bindery saw the writing on the, well, Internet, and realized it could expand its services to also offer digital print-on-demand, including orders for just a single book.
That decision nearly 10 years ago has accounted for most of Bridgeport National Bindery Inc.'s (BNB) current growth as many of its on-demand book orders come from online publishers or bookstores that sell over the Internet as well as publishers in Singapore, Australia and the United Kingdom, said Kent H. Larson, BNB's vice president for the Print on Demand Division.
The company, located at 662 Silver St., in Agawam specializes in small print runs and on any given day could produce between 7,000 and 15,000 "books of one," Larson said. The on-demand method of printing allows the company to print as ordered versus printing on speculation, he said.
"It became much more of a philosophy and paradigm shift so instead of, 'if we build it they will come,' it's if they come we will build it," Larson said.
Rather than a book physically sitting in a warehouse, it "resides on a digital, virtual warehouse and server," he said.

Never before has the measurement of meetings and events been more important, and never before have there been such precise and sophisticated tools for analyzing them.
"Customers have specific needs. They want to answer specific questions about their sponsorships, or their events," says Fay Beauchine, president, engagement and events, for Carlson Marketing Group in Minneapolis. "We like to sit down with them at the beginning to see what their needs are, rather than offer a canned solution."
And therefore one of Carlson's measurement "solutions" (as Beauchine refers to them)—the sponsorship measurement model—was born. Carlson created it for a financial client who wanted to measure the results of its sponsorship of a major women's conference, but it is a model that can be applied across many industries and brands.
"This bank was looking to know if three things happened as a result of their sponsorship," explains Beauchine. "First, would the attendees now do their personal banking with them? Next, would they now do their business banking with them? And third, would they now recommend them to others?"
To learn if the sponsor had achieved any or all of these outcomes, Carlson designed specific questions for attendees that measured each element of the conference, from the Internet café to the breakouts to the keynote speakers. The questions were not about whether or not attendees liked the events or whether they were well planned, but about whether attendees trusted the brand, aligned themselves with it, and/or felt committed to it as a result of that element of the meeting. From that, Carlson came up with numerical scores that enabled the client to draw certain conclusions (for example, one of the keynote speakers had a high correlation with these three outcomes).
"They were able to take these scores back to their CFO and say, 'We now know conclusively that 58 percent of the people who attended this conference had such a favorable experience that they said this brand would now be their first choice [up from 40 percent before the event]." That's pretty powerful ammunition to justify future events.
According to Beauchine, it's all in the measurement. "People who make the decisions to sponsor events might have feelings about their success, or anecdotal points of view. But with the right tools, you can actually prove it."

Great little Thai Restaurant – Whenever a friend comes to town, going on a date or a normal night this restaurant delivers. The service is friendly and seating is quick. Can rely on quality food, tasting a new dish everytime, with no disappointment. Prices are reasonable and ambiance full of life. Parking available in the rear of the building as well.
Best of the Best for Thai Food – While scouring local restaurants on this website, I came across Lanna Thai and decided to give it a try. The food was amazingly fresh, well prepared, and served by a friendly staff. I'd like to consider myself a Thai food expert because I eat it so often and I must say... Lanna Thai was as good as any Thai restaurant that I have ever been to. It has the added value of being relatively cheap and very close to where I live (Pacific Beach/Bay Park). You must try the Tom Yum Soup which was superb. I eat there yesterday and I just might go there again today (kind of ridiculous but it was that good).
Authentic, spicy Thai cuisine in a casual, small Pacific Beach cafe. – In Short
Just off the I-5 in a small shopping center, find a simple yet refined Thai eatery. Light jazz music filters through the dining room and intricate wood carvings from Thailand dress the walls. The warm waitstaff take eat-in and to-go orders of entrees like pad kee-mao, panang curry with rice, and crispy tropical duck with mango. Finish with a dish of green tea ice cream or a specialty cocktail made with Han vodka.
Thai hospitality – Our New Year resolution is to try a new restaurant (for us) every other week. The first pick was mine and after some searching came up with Lanna Thai Cuisine. What a great choice. We were welcomed and seated promptly (arrived around 6:45 - no reservation) but could see that beyond 7pm would require a reservation. Clean, nicely decorated, and the service was quietly efficient and attentive. Our waitress was pleased to agree with our menu choices but was not comfortable recommending as she stated each person is different and has different tastes. I chose the Tropical Duck and my friend went with Island Treasures. Neither of us was dissapointed. The presentation was beautiful and drew an exclamation. The "Island Treasures" was served in a young coconut shell. Spices were perfectly balanced. We had planned to share but the food was so good we were both too selfish to spare more than a bite to taste. Next time I will take friends and more appetite for a desert of fried bananas with ice-cream.

Mounsey died of cancer on Saturday at her Los Angeles home, her daughter, Allegra Clegg of Los Angeles, told The New York Times (nyti.ms/PNklSK).
Mounsey danced with the City Ballet from 1948 to 1958, rising from soloist to principal dancer.
She was the Dark Angel in Balanchine's "Serenade" and Siren in his 1950 revival of "Prodigal Son." For Robbins, she created the roles of the Queen in "The Cage," the Harp in "Fanfare" and the Wife in "The Concert."
Mounsey was born Yvonne Louise Leibbrandt in 1919 on a South African dairy farm outside of Pretoria. She began taking ballet lessons at 7 with former member of Anna Pavlova's company.
She later studied and danced in England and performed around the world with various companies, including the famed Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo.
She was with another company, the Original Ballet Russe, when Balanchine saw her in New York in 1940. He created a part for her in his 1941 "Balustrade."
She became stranded in Cuba in 1941 during a tour and survived by becoming a successful nightclub dancer.
After her New York City Ballet years, she helped co-found a ballet company in her native South Africa.
In 1966, Mounsey moved to Los Angeles and opened the Westside School of Ballet. The Santa Monica school became influential and its students have included Andrew Veyette and Tiler Peck of the New York City Ballet and Joy Womack, the first American woman to dance with the Bolshoi Ballet.
Mounsey was married three times, to Duncan Mounsey, Albert Hall Hughey and Kelvin Clegg. In addition to her daughter, she is survived by two stepsons, a grandson and a sister.

Part-Schedule Teaching Requirements
A request to the Committee on Faculty Status for Part-Schedule Teaching must include the applicants's current PDR, a letter of application to the VPAA and letters of support from both the department head and dean.See the Current Year Schedule for the appropriate due date. The contractual requirements from the Faculty Handbook Section II.H.4 (page II-12) are reprinted below.
[NOTE: Also see Section IV.B for cases covered by the College Family and Medical Leave Policy.]
a. A full-time faculty member may request the Committee on Faculty Status to recommend him or her to the President for a part-schedule teaching load at proportional pay, with full faculty status, for any of the following reasons:
(1) If the faculty member's physical or mental condition, substantially verified, is such that he or she can be of better service to the College under a reduced workload. A part-schedule load may be granted under these conditions for a period not to exceed two years.
(2) If the faculty member has either [a] thirty years of service or more, or [b] has fifteen years of service or more and has reached the age of sixty, he or she shall be entitled to a part-schedule workload. The time limitation on the length of the part-schedule load in this case is not to exceed five years, and with the provision that the application for part-schedule teaching be accompanied by notice of resignation by retirement at the conclusion of the part-schedule teaching service.
(3) If the faculty member wishes to devote additional time to academic research or publication that will be beneficial to the reputation of the College and to the faculty member. The time limit in this case may be variable.
b. A part-schedule teaching load shall mean 18 hours of work or less, but not less than six for the academic year, or the equivalent in a combination of teaching and administrative services. Those faculty members who are granted a part- schedule teaching load are expected to continue performing their other faculty functions, proportionally.
It will, normally, be evenly distributed with half in each semester of the academic year. If, however, no administrative or academic inconvenience will result, the faculty member may elect to fulfill the part-schedule in one semester. Determination of inconvenience or its lack will fall to the Faculty Status Committee. No faculty member currently following a different pattern shall be deprived of that privilege.
The time spenton part-schedule, as defined in Section II.H.4a(2) and (3), will be counted as full-time for purposes of decisions concerning tenure, promotions, leaves of absence, sabbaticals, retirement and benefits.

New Report Outlines the 6 Major Mistakes Made in the Rollout of Healthcare.gov
RALEIGH, N.C., Feb. 13, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Managed hosting and cloud provider PointClick Technologies today announced the release of a new eBook entitled: "How To Avoid A Disastrous Website Launch Like Healthcare.gov," which provides a look into six major mistakes that were made in the development and rollout of Healthcare.gov, the healthcare exchange website created by and operated under the United States federal government as per the provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) or "Obamacare." The report can be found at http://www.pointclick.net/free-report-about-healthcaregov.html.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20140213/PH64376-a )
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20140213/PH64376LOGO-b )
The report was created to highlight the key mistakes made in the planning, development and deployment of the healthcare.gov site and help companies to learn from some of these mistakes. Inadequate performance testing, security holes and poor communication riddled this project from beginning to end. Chris Chodnicki, Co-Founder of R2i, a digital design, development and marketing agency, commented: "HealthCare.gov is a highly exposed, complex website with a critical purpose. With a vast amount of personal identifying information security is paramount. Unfortunately, it was designed and developed with a lack of proper methodology, vision and foundation."
The frequent site crashes that plagued healthcare.gov in its early days was symptomatic of this lack of vision. According to published reports, the site could only handle a little more than a 1000 concurrent users on launch, while drawing nearly 250 times that amount. The lack of adequate load testing was surprising. "Load testing isn't like it used to be – it isn't hard, time consuming or expensive today. You just need to recognize that it is something that needs to be done. It's not optional anymore," said Ragnar Lonn, Founder and CEO, LoadImpact, a cloud-based performance testing service.
While there are many lessons to be learned from the launch of healthcare.gov, at the forefront would be the view that a cloud and hosting partner with a more active role in the project could have helped prevent many of these issues. "We believe your hosting provider can and should play a more prominent role in the deployment of a new business-critical website or web application," said PointClick Technologies founder and CEO, Malik Khan. "We compiled this report to show how working with a managed hosting provider like PointClick would have greatly improved the performance, security and stability of healthcare.gov."

Count Dooku is determined to have revenge against the Nightsisters of Dathomir after their betrayal. General Grievous launches an all-out droid attack against the magic-wielding witches, and Mother Talzin and Asajj Ventress lead the defense with all the dark powers at their command.
Dooku has had dealings with Mother Talzin and her Nightsisters in the past, but he has grown weary of her deceptions. The Sith Lord orders his troops to lay waste to Dathomir.
After her failure to destroy Dooku and the loss of her monstrous minion, Savage Opress, Ventress returns to the Nightsisters to be reborn -- but she has brought the war with her to the secluded planet.
Mother Talzin welcomes Ventress back into the Nightsister fold, encouraging her to discard her past as Dooku's assassin. Talzin initiates a ceremony that baptizes Ventress in the dark magicks of the Nightsisters.
Grievous and his droid army rain destruction down upon Dathomir, blasting the Nightsisters with advanced technology and overwhelming numbers.
Though the Nightsisters are highly skilled combatants, they are too few in number to form an army to defend themselves. Their dark magicks, however, can unleash a power to repulse the droid soldiers of the Confederacy.

You will need to relocate the drain. More clearance is needed.
Open the wall up now while you are doing the remodle.
I just purchased house and i'm remodeling kitchen. The current kitchen sink drain is 24 inches from floor to top of 1 and 1/2 inch drain pipe. My sink is 9 and 1/2 inches deep and will be mounted under granite counter top on a sink cabinet 34 inches high. Will I be ok with just 1/2 inch difference. I will not be installing disposal.
You will need to relocate the drain. More clearance is needed.
Open the wall up now while you are doing the remodle.

You need more room, and flexibility for future changes.
I would shoot for 15-16" off the floor to leave room for a disposal.
I think 15" to 16" is becoming the new standard too.
Without the disposer, you might be able to do 19", but for those three inches, and for a future alternate universe decision, I would do 16" and call it good.
You have 1 1/2" from the bottom of the sink, NOT from the bottom of the sind drain you will have to install in the sink. Even if you did have 1 1/2" unless you used a "low inlet trap" which are very unstable, the inlet would be above the pipe in the wall. NOTHING will work other than moving the drain line or getting a different sink.

I gotta ask, who installed the tank and fittings?
A 3' loop in the pipe shouldn't be an issue as long as the loop isn't verticle and into the frost line where it would freeze.
The correct pressure for the tank with Constant Pressure System should be 70% of shut off pressure. So if your shut off is 60psi, you want 42 psi in the tank. To do that, shut off the pump and drain the tank then set your air pressure through the schrader valve.

The Watts Towers or Towers of Simon Rodia in the Watts district of Los Angeles, California, is a collection of 17 interconnected structures, two of which reach heights of over 99 feet (30 m). The Towers were built by Italian immigrant construction worker Sabato ("Sam" or "Simon") Rodia (1879-1965) in his spare time over a period of 33 years, from 1921 to 1954. The work is an example of non-traditional vernacular architecture and American naïve art.[4][5]
The Watts Towers are located near (and visible from) the 103rd Street-Kenneth Hahn (now 103rd St./Watts Towers) Station of the Metro Rail LACMTA Blue Line. They were designated both a National Historic Landmark and a California Historical Landmark in 1990.[1][4]
Design and construction[edit]
The sculptures' armatures are constructed from steel pipes and rods, wrapped with wire mesh and coated with mortar. The main supports are embedded with pieces of porcelain, tile, and glass. They are decorated with found objects, including bed frames, bottles, ceramic tiles, scrap metal and sea shells. Rodia called the towers Nuestro Pueblo (which means "our town" in Spanish). He built them with no special equipment or predetermined design, working alone with hand tools and window-washer's equipment. Neighborhood children brought pieces of broken glass and pottery to Rodia, some of which were added, but the majority of his material consisted of damaged pieces from the Malibu Pottery or CALCO (California Clay Products Company), located nearby. Green glass includes recognizable soft drink bottles from the 1930s through 1950s, some still bearing the former logos of 7 Up, Squirt, Bubble Up, and Canada Dry; blue glass appears to be from milk of magnesia bottles.
Rodia bent much of the Towers' framework from scrap rebar, using nearby railroad tracks as a makeshift vise. Other items came from alongside the Pacific Electric Railway right of way between Watts and Wilmington. Rodia often walked the right of way all the way to Wilmington in search of material, a distance of nearly 20 miles (32 km).
Rodia reportedly did not get along with his neighbors, some of whom allowed their children to vandalize his work. Rumors that the towers were antennae for communicating with enemy Japanese forces during World War II or contained buried treasure caused suspicion and further vandalism.
In 1955, Rodia gave away his property and left, reportedly tired of the abuse he received. He retired to Martinez, California and never returned. He died ten years later.
After Rodia[edit]
The property changed hands, Rodia's bungalow inside the enclosure was burned down, and the city of Los Angeles condemned the structure and ordered it razed. Actor Nicholas King and a film editor William Cartwright visited the site in 1959, saw the neglect, and purchased the property for $3,000 in order to preserve it. When the city found out about the transfer, it decided to perform the demolition before the transfer went through. The towers had already become famous and there was opposition from around the world. King, Cartwright, and museum curator Jim Elliott of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, along with area architects, artists, and community activists formed the Committee for Simon Rodia's Towers in Watts. The Committee negotiated with the city to allow for an engineering test to establish the safety of the structures.
The test took place on October 10, 1959.[6] For the test, steel cable was attached to each tower and a crane was used to exert lateral force. The crane was unable to topple or even shift the towers with the forces applied, and the test was concluded when the crane experienced mechanical failure. Bud Goldstone and Edward Farrell were the engineer and architect leading the team.
The committee preserved the towers independently until 1975, when it deeded the site to the City of Los Angeles, which in turn deeded it to the State of California in 1978. It is now designated the Watts Towers of Simon Rodia State Historic Park. It is operated by the City of Los Angeles Cultural Affairs Department in partnership with the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. In February 2011, LACMA announced that it had received a $500,000 grant from the James Irvine Foundation to conserve and promote the Watts Towers.[7]
The Watts Towers or "Nuestro Pueblo" are considered one of Southern California's most culturally significant public artworks (Public Art in Public Places Project). They are one of nine folk art sites listed in the National Register of Historic Places, and were designated a National Historic Landmark in 1990.[4][5][8] The towers were also designated a California Historical Landmark in 1990.[1]
The structures suffered minor damage in the Northridge earthquake in 1994, after which they were repaired and reopened in 2001. The towers were damaged during a 2000 windstorm and were closed to the public until March 2011. There is also damage from random acts of vandalism.
Watts Towers Arts Center[edit]
The Watts Towers Arts Center is an adjacent community arts center that was opened in 1970. The center was built and staffed by the non-profit Committee for Simon Rodia's Towers in Watts. The two tallest towers are 97 and 99 feet tall.
Documentaries about the Towers[edit]
The towers are subject of a 2006 documentary film I Build the Tower and the 1987 docudrama Daniel and The Towers.
Watts Towers were highlighted in the 1973 television series, The Ascent of Man and shown in the episode, "The Grain in the Stone – Tools, and the development of architecture and sculpture". The towers were described by the presenter as "my favorite monument – built by a man who had no more scientific equipment than the Gothic mason". The series was written and presented by Jacob Bronowski and produced by BBC.
