The Ethics of Craft
In light of the Bangladeshi factory collapse there has been renewed attention on the manufacturing of mass-produced, high street clothing. Brands like Gap and Bennetton have come into the firing line for producing their clothes under poor working and pay conditions. This has resulted in moral condemnation and a few op-ed pieces on sustainably and ethically sourced clothing, with an outcry for better regulation and legislation to protect garment workers.
Meanwhile those who make their own clothes have sat on the sidelines, comfortably assured of their position on the moral high ground. If you make your clothes yourself then you can be sure that the conditions under which they were produced, right? The only worker who was harmed in the process of making that dress was you, as you battled to finish it before that all-important wedding or party.
But can we in the crafting community be so sure that the clothes we make have pure origins? I began to think about this after reading the horrific stories of workers trapped for hours under the rubble, all in the name of making a cheap t-shirt, and I came to the uncomfortable conclusion that I couldn't be that sure that what I made at home had any better provenance than a pair of jeans brought on the high street.
I'm not innocent in this debate and as I write this I am wearing a Gap vest top bought for a grand total of £5. In the last month I have brought clothes from brands who I know, or at least suspect, have less than perfect manufacturing standards and that does not even take into account the environmental impact of the clothes I buy. But being honest with ourselves about the goods we buy and the clothes we make is the first step to changing the world for the better.
To try and better understand the impact of the clothes I had made I thought I would look at some of the designs I had come up with and see if I could find out more about how they were sourced. My first port of call was the Taking Liberties dress that I made last year. It didn't take much research to discover that Liberty Fabric is made in the UK at a factory in Lancaster. They have even posted a video of the fabric being printed on their website.
So far so good. But this doesn't take into account environmental impact of this particular cloth, more on that later.
The fabric only forms part of the garment and the thread and its origins are just as important. In this case I used Guttermans Sew all Thread, which their website proudly declares is made in Germany. In both cases both Guttermans and Liberty make it easy to find out where their products are made of but there is still the question of where the raw materials come from.
I had a similar problem when looking into the provenance of the materials for my current knitting project: a Lion Brand Yarn pattern, entitled 'My First Sweater' (yes really!). This pattern calls for Lion Brand Wool-Ease Chunky in Wheat. On the Lion Brand website they make it quite hard to find out where their products are made. The 'About' section of the doesn't list this information but if you dig about a bit you will find a blog post dating back to February 2012 listing the Lion Brand Yarns which are made in the USA. Wool-Ease isn't on this list so that it doesn't answer my question, and I don't have the original packaging to see what they have declared on the label. Furthermore on the Lion Brand website it states that the fibres used to produce their yarn come from "all over the world". What exactly this means is unclear to say the least, and it is hard to say where the other yarns in their product line come from.
The obvious answer to this would be for Lion Brand to add this information to each product listing online as done by Liberty and Gutterman. I think it would be a really positive move if a company like Lion Brand had the confidence in their supply chain to do this. Right now it looks as though they have something to hide.
Both My First Sweater and the Taking Liberties Dress were relatively easy to trace as I used products from brand name suppliers. However the majority of home sewing projects are made with fabrics that have no brand name attached to them. An example of this is my Administrative Pleasure Pencil Skirt project which was made with a polyester checked fabric purchased at Mandors, Edinburgh. When I bought this fabric the label didn't specify where the fabric was made, something that was common to most of the materials in the shop and most suppliers in general. I have never questioned this before now but as we try to build a more sustainable society this situation is unacceptable. We no longer think it is ok to be ignorant of where our food is produced and the same rules should be applied to fabric production.
This takes me to the second issue around craft and making, which is the environmental impact of the materials we use. Polyester and Cotton, the two materials used in the projects mentioned above both have a hotly contested environmental impact. Cotton is one of the most pesticide intensive crops in the world and, even when produced organically, requires large amounts of water and energy to produce. Meanwhile Polyester is made from petrochemicals, is non-biodegradable and again requires large amounts of water and energy in its production.
One option when faced with this dilemma is to only make things using sustainably sourced materials, like my Fair Isle Wrist Warmers which were made with British wool from an ethical producer. That is an expensive option and one that doesn't solve the larger issue of transparency in supply lines for all craft products.
When faced with this information it can be hard for one person, working on a small number of projects, to have confidence in their choices. For me the first step is to be more aware of where the materials I am buying come from. Just because you made it yourself doesn't mean that the piece is ethical, sustainable and environmentally sound. We all need to be more aware of the impact of our decisions and demand transparent supply chains from manufacturers and clear labelling on all craft products.

Love the article … I researched the same subject when I started up a project called stitchUP. After looking at the environmental impacts of the whole fashion cycle, from growing the materials to shipping to manufacturing and finally disposal it was obvious that the only way to go is second-hand … preloved fabrics and clothes … it's the only sure way to know that your buying choices make no further demands of the world !

In Storage
From 1919 the Russian Telegraph Agency issued Bolshevik propaganda ROSTA Windows. These striking wall newspapers comprised sequences of four to twelve narrative images on a single sheet. They were reproduced from colour stencils. The simplified forms and bold colours exploited the limitations of the technique. They reflected the enthusiasm of their avant-garde designers for the traditional lubok, a Russian popular print. This example is a hostile account of a delegation, sent by the anti-Bolshevik allied powers and led by Joseph Noulens, to investigate the famine in Russia. Bolshevik supporters claimed that this mission covertly sought to destabilise Lenin's new regime. The captions, probably by the poet Vladimir Mayakovsky, read as follows. 1. In the luxury carriage, in the salon wagon, three Frenchmen travel and talk among themselves. 2. Noulens says, shaking with laughter, 'What fun we'll have. 3. When we reach the famine areas we'll issue a manifesto. 4. If you want to eat to your heart's content, then down with Soviet power. 5. Here is your Tsar and your Tsarina, and here is rye and wheat.' 6. Says Gireau [?], winking slyly, 7. 'That's nothing - we'll get them up against the wall first. 8. Let them sweat a bit, as they should, and then they can eat.' 9. Says General Bravy [?], 'We know you will feed the whole crowd, 10. We'll reduce their numbers a bit, and leave the quiet ones. 11. Anyone who looks like a troublemaker - we'll give them trouble.' 12. Friends, go away at once. Russia is not your homeland.

CNC (computer numerical control) low-temperature black oxide system for iron or aluminum part finishing.
Left to right, 1) machined cutting tool, coupling and hand tool, and 2) firearm components, all finished with low-temperature black-oxide processes.
Near-zero water recycler makes the finishing line a closed-loop process and reduces water consumption by 99 percent.
In-house black oxide finishing continues to grow in popularity. With many reasons why in-house blackening of iron and aluminum is more attractive than sending parts out to a plater, they all come down to one simple concept: more effective control of quality, scheduling and costs. Specifically, manufacturers need faster turnaround on part finishing to satisfy customers' shipping requirements.
Manual or automated, black oxide finishing systems are inexpensive to install compared to painting, electroplating or anodizing systems. The latest CNC black oxide systems cost less than a small machining center and operate automatically, with no direct labor costs. Chemical costs are usually less than 15 cents per pound of finished parts and depend on work volume.
Why Blacken?
Black oxide is attractive because:
Corrosion resistance. A black oxide finish will normally withstand up to 100 hours of neutral salt spray (ASTM B117) or several hundred hours of humidity (ASTM D1748), depending on the sealant used. Black oxide finishes do require a sealant of some type because the black finish itself has a porous crystal structure. Though the sealant is primarily responsible for the corrosion resistance, the underlying black coating acts as an absorbent base, holding the sealant in contact with the metal substrate.
Dimensional uniformity and stability. Black oxide finishes have a uniform thickness of about 0.000020 inch, making them ideal finishes for precision manufactured components that cannot tolerate the variable thickness of paint or electroplating.
Blackening Processes Options
Low-temperature black oxide for iron and steel. Using a patented chemistry, this system operates at 200°F and forms a durable, black magnetite finish that is Mil Spec compliant in 25 minutes. The basic chemistry is the same as that of high-temp black oxide, but the reaction proceeds at a lower temperature because it blackens in two steps. Since the process contains no EPA regulated metals, the rinse waters are generally sewerable as non-hazardous discharge. Its low temperature eliminates the severe hazards of the 290° black oxide, making it easier and far safer to operate. The process also avoids the red coatings and white salt leaching commonly seen with conventional black oxide because the overall concentration of caustic soda is 80 percent lower than that of regular black oxide.
Low-temperature black oxide for aluminum. Also utilizing a unique, patent-pending chemistry, this system operates at 200°F and develops a smooth, durable black coating that is 0.000060 inch (1.5 micron) thick. Unlike anodizing, this new electroless process utilizes a simple dip-tank procedure to form the coating. The process takes just 30 min for most alloys and will not shrink hole diameters or add measurable thickness to part surfaces/dimensions. The process line is designed to operate as a self-contained, zero-discharge system. Rinse waters are purified and recycled by means of an ion-exchange system. This process provides a high-quality method for blackening aluminum that doesn't involve the complexities and high costs of electrolytic black anodizing. The black finish offers excellent surface lubricity for break-in or galling resistance.
Near-zero water recycling system. Most low-temperature steel blackening lines work very well by sending their rinse waters directly to the city drain, untreated, as non-hazardous discharge. These installations often require a discharge permit from the sewer district along with periodic sewer sampling. In some areas, however, a city sewer connection is not available, or the process line is installed in an area of the plant inconvenient to sewer hookup. In these cases, the installation can be configured so that the rinse waters are not sent to the drain, but rather are purified and recycled by means of a near-zero water recycling system. Though the near-zero system raises the initial capital cost of the installation, it lowers the operating cost by making the process line completely self-contained, thereby eliminating the need for a discharge permit and the accompanying sewer sampling program, and decreasing water consumption by 99 percent.
Process Design
Though many installations operate with a standard process sequence, the design of the process line can change to accommodate different production conditions:
• The size and volume of parts per shift will determine the overall size of the blackening
• The method of parts handling required (racks, baskets, rotating barrels) affect the way in which the parts are processed through the line.
• The condition of the surface prior to blackening may call for special cleaning or descaling provisions. Parts that carry heavy oils or oxides (rust, heat treatscale or hot-rolled mill scale) often require aggressive cleaning or descaling treatment using chemical or grit-blasting methods.
• The performance requirements of the final finish will indicate which sealant is needed to achieve the necessary appearance, gloss and level of corrosion resistance.
A well-designed tank layout can accommodate all the factors listed above, and the supplier of the system can offer guidance in these areas. Most standard process lines contain the following stations: 1) cleaning, 2) multiple rinsing stations, 3) surface conditioning, 4) blackening and 5) sealing.
Areas of Opportunity for Manufacturers
Lean manufacturing. To paraphrase one company's motto: Zero defects, zero waste, zero incidents. This goal equates to maximum customer satisfaction at minimum cost, and is achieved by streamlining part movement and controlling each phase of the entire manufacturing process. In-house black oxide can play a key role in this program.
Controlling quality and costs. Sending parts to an outside plater for black oxide requires part sorting and packing, freight costs there and back, 2–5-day turnaround, and then paying the finisher a profit to do the work. This practice requires higher inventory levels, complicates ISO controls and makes it more difficult to offer quick response for key customers.
In contrast, with an in-house system, either a manual or CNC black-oxide, turnaround time is less than an hour. This lowers costs and inventories, streamlines workflow patterns, enhances ISO accountability, and provides better control over finished-part quality.
Enhancing part value. Sending parts outside for finishing is a costly and avoidable production bottleneck, particularly where just-in-time deliveries are required. While finishing contributes only a small portion of the part's total value, the cost of sending work outside is often inordinately high when all the hidden factors are considered.
Satisfying the customer. Prompt shipments of high-quality products help win new orders. In-house finishing helps to reduce costs and inventory while keeping the customer satisfied.
The added benefit of security. Some manufacturers are not able to send parts outside for finishing due to security reasons. In-house blackening systems solve this problem when manufacturing parts with serial numbers, proprietary designs and confidential part counts. In real-world applications, in-house blackening systems are the ideal finishing choice for product assemblies with sliding contacts, including firearm mechanisms, munitions and military assemblies.
In summary, whether manual or automated, standard or electroless black oxide finishing has proven integral to modern manufacturing because it enhances objectives while lowering costs.

Customer Reviews for Vegas Hot! Yoga and Pilates Studio (1)
January 24, 2012
Managment is terrible. Any good instructors they had have all been fired. The most popular most requested instructors are all gone leaving inexperienced Yoga teachers instructing pilates-not the same. This is not regular Pilates. Loved the classes in the beginning and now have no use for my monthly membership which by the way automatically renews ( NEVER DISCLOSED) unless you call on ONE specific day, not day before or after, literally one day. The explanation for this was that my 12 month contract is a month to month contract?? This contradicts itself. Their business practices are fraudulent and misrepresenting- not expected of a Yoga studio. Do yourself a favor and GO ELSEWHERE!

Celo Residence
David Dietrich
Carefully placed on a sloped site and situated amid trees protected during construction, the Celo Residence integrates well with its surroundings. A rainwater catchment system feeds landscape irrigation.
Chris Ermides
The connection between indoor and outdoor spaces and the use of consistent interior and exterior materials captured the judges' attention and helped this project earn its Grand Award.
The living room is bright and airy, combining natural materials with high-performance windows to create a bright and comfortable space.
The project features an attractive kitchen loaded with features like local custom maple cabinets, recycled-content concrete countertops, Energy Star-rated appliances, low-voltage lighting, and a low-flow faucet.
Low-flow bath fixtures include a Danze showerhead and lav faucet and a Toto dual-flush toilet.
CA1-Guest House Model _ 1. Main
Architectural design, sustainable performance, and careful placement on a tricky site combined to win this project a Grand Award. The judges especially liked the consistency and connection of natural materials used inside and outside the home, the linear layout and exposure along the sloping topography, and how the house connects to and blends in with its vegetated surroundings.
The project team took great care to preserve the property's existing trees during construction and focused on landscape details that include 3,750 gallons of rainwater catchment storage for irrigation; pervious walkways, patio, and driveway; and drought-resistant plants. Toto dual-flush toilets and low-flow Danze showerheads and lav faucets aid interior water efficiency, and greywater drain lines are roughed-in for future use.
Exterior finishes include standing-seam metal roofing, FSC-certified wood shingles, and locally harvested stone. Interior materials feature stone, tile, and naturally finished wood flooring; urea formaldehyde–free maple cabinets with concrete countertops; FSC-certified interior doors; and low-VOC paints and finishes throughout.
Energy efficiency targets were met using Icynene spray-foam insulation throughout; Hurd low-E, argon-filled windows and doors; a 15+-SEER heat pump and high-efficiency water heater; and low-voltage lighting. Lines are roughed-in for future solar system installations.
But it was the successful balance between the sustainable design and high-performance features that tied everything together for the jury. As one judge said, "This project shows how achievable sustainable design can be in creating a bright and livable home connected to the outdoors, while integrating performance features that improve water efficiency, indoor air quality, and energy demand."

Louise Butler
False confession led to erroneous murder conviction
In early April 1928, in Lowndes County, Alabama, Louise Butler came to suspect her paramour, George Yelder, of knowing, in the Biblical sense, her fourteen-year-old niece, Topsy Warren. After returning from a trip to Montgomery one day, Louise jealously confronted Topsy with her suspicion. Topsy thereupon vanished, and the county sheriff came to suspect foul play.
During questioning, three children — Topsy's nine-year-old sister and two younger cousins — purportedly claimed that Louise and George together had murdered Topsy. The story the sheriff attributed to the children was exceedingly gruesome: Louise supposedly struck Topsy with an ax, with which George dismembered the corpse. The remains allegedly were put into a sack, which Louise and George threw into the Alabama River.
Based on the children's accounts, Louise — but, inexplicably, not George — was arrested. After a few days in jail, Louise orally confessed. Her confession, which she soon recanted, matched what the children had said, according to the sheriff. On April 17, 1928, less than two weeks after Topsy disappeared, Louise and George were indicted by a grand jury. A week later, they were tried separately before Judge A. E. Gamble. Each trial lasted less than a day, Louise's on April 24, George's on April 25. Judge Gamble suppressed Louise's confession, based on her recantation, but the children repeated the hair-raising tale they had told the sheriff. The defendants testified at their respective trials, denying knowledge of Topsy's disappearance. The juries, which then by law were all white in Alabama, promptly returned verdicts of guilty. On April 25, Judge Gamble sentenced the African American defendants to life in prison.
Less than a week later, Topsy was discovered alive, well, and residing less than twenty miles away, her limbs intact. In June 1928, George and Louise were formally exonerated and released. The children then admitted that they had fabricated the story, at the behest of a man who had a grievance against George. It was never explained why they also had implicated Louise, or why she had confessed.

LA Times defends use of Afghan photosApril 18, 2012 @ 6:25 pm (Updated: 6:41 pm - 4/18/12 )
"At the end of the day, our job is to publish information that our readers need to make informed decisions."
That's how editors at The Los Angeles Times sum up their decision to publish photos from 2010 that appear to show U.S. troops posing with body parts of Afghan suicide bombers.
"We considered this very carefully," Davan Maharaj, editor of the Los Angeles Times Media Group, said in a live chat online. (transcript here)
"We have a particular duty to report vigorously and impartially on all aspects of the American mission in Afghanistan. On balance, in this case, we felt that the public interest here was served by publishing a limited, but representative sample of these photos, along with a story explaining the circumstances under which they were taken."
The newspaper did not publish all 18 photos they received.
Editors selected two photos for publication because "they clearly and unambiguously depict conduct that the Army described as inappropriate."
Other images were not published because they were either repetitious or "too gruesome."
After the LA Times published a story outlining how a unit of the 82nd airborne mugged and posed with remains when sent on two missions in 2010, the White House, Pentagon, and diplomats in Afghanistan all condemned the action depicted in the photos and launched investigations. They were also unhappy with the newspaper's decision to publish the pictures.
The Defense Department had even asked The Times not to run the photos, out of fear that the latest photos will be used to justify further unrest in Afghanistan and around the world.
Maharaj said that the safety of troops was among The Times' concerns, which is why they felt they had a duty to publish the images.
"The photographs were provided by a soldier in the unit who was himself concerned that the photos reflected dysfunction in discipline and a breakdown in leadership that compromised the safety of the troops," Maharaj said. "When we made the decision to publish, the Pentagon asked us to wait 24 additional hours to protect troops depicted in the photographs."
The newspaper agreed to push back the publication date, and says they waited 72 hours after the Pentagon's request.

Christiana Care Maternity
Mother's Milk Bank
The oldest operating human milk bank in the United States, Christiana Care's Mothers' Milk Bank stores, tests and distributes donated mothers' milk to meet the specific needs of infants for whom human milk is prescribed by physicians. The Milk Bank also stores and dispenses milk that mothers collect for their own hospitalized newborns.
Mothers' milk is often a gift of life. It is a gift that is generously given by nursing mothers who are willing to share breast milk for which their own infants have no need. Many babies who receive milk from the Mothers' Milk Bank would be unable to thrive without it.
Babies need donor milk because of:
- Allergies and formula intolerances.
- Prematurity.
- Failure to thrive.
- Immunological deficiencies.
- Postoperative nutrition.
- Inborn errors of metabolism.
At Christiana Care, neonatologists—doctors who are specially trained to care for premature and sick infants—encourage the use of mothers' milk.
Mothers' milk is the ideal nourishment for a newborn baby because it is easier than formula for the baby to digest, reducing the risk of stomach and intestinal complications. This is most important for any critically ill infant.
The oldest operating milk bank in the United States
When Mrs. Margaret Trentman was unable to nurse her baby, she turned to commercial infant formula. But when her newborn was also unable to tolerate the infant formula, she called on a unique "bank" at Boston's Lying-In Hospital that gathered, stored, and distributed mothers' milk to people like her. She asked for and received the precious breast milk that saved her baby's life. That was 1947.
To show her profound gratitude, Mrs. Trentman, a member of the Junior Board of what was then Delaware Hospital, encouraged the board to start a similar bank for the benefit of families in the Delaware Valley. With Mrs. Trentman's support and the guidance of Dr. Margaret I. Handy, a visionary Wilmington doctor, they did just that.
Today, the Mothers' Milk Bank at Christiana Hospital is the oldest operating milk bank in the United States. Over the years, the Mothers' Milk Bank has provided life-sustaining milk to tens of thousands of babies throughout the country.
Can I donate breast milk to the Mothers' Milk Bank?
At this time, the Mothers' Milk Bank does not accept direct donations of human milk. If you are interested in donating breast milk, you may wish to contact the Human Milk Banking Association of North America.
To contact the Mothers' Milk Bank, call 302-733-2340.

active galactic nucleus (AGN)
active galactic nucleus (AGN)
Small region at the centre of a galaxy that emits a prodigious amount of energy in the form of radio, optical, X-ray, or gamma radiation or high-speed particle jets. Many classes of active galaxies have been identifiedfor example, quasars, radio galaxies, and Seyfert galaxies. The observed energy is generated as matter accretes onto a supermassive black hole with a mass millions or even billions of times that of the Sun. The accreting matter can outshine the rest of the galaxy as it is heated in very high-speed collisions outside the black hole's event horizon. It is believed that many galaxies harbour these central black holes and that they might have been quasars in their early history, although they now appear to be dormant unless orbiting matter is accreting onto the black hole.

What employees anticipate getting in their paychecks is often a good indicator of an industry's economic health. Before the economy plummeted in 2008, 85% of survey-takers expected to receive some sort of pay increase. In 2010, when the public sector was hit hardest by the recession, those expecting raises dropped drastically—to 30%—and 14% expected pay cuts. This year, 58% remain positive that they will get a raise.

Windows 7 Ultimate, OS X 10.7, Ubuntu 11.04
As I said before, upgrade install is not only possible, it works GREAT. So if you don't want to go through the whole clean install and all that that involves, feel free to give the upgrade install a try. Worst case, it doesn't work out well for you and you have to clean install, which is what others are advising you to do anyway, so you have nothing to lose by trying it and seeing if it works out for you as well as it did for me. GL however you go.
You have different hardware, different software..
Even one thing could trigger the entire thing corrupting. It may have gone well for you but it didn't go well for me (when I tried it ...). Some of my friends got it working perfectly, some had to completely reinstall everything (they were happy I made them back-up prior to the upgrades).
Just thought I'd throw that out there.

Windows 7 Ultimate x64 (Retail)
Good point. It may not work as well for every possible configuration as it did for me. (And I should note that I did have to reinstall my security software (AV & Firewall), but I expected that and it only took a couple of minutes.) Even a clean install does not always work well for every configuration.
But as I said, before, there is no harm in giving an upgrade install a try, assuming one has everything properly backed up, which should always be done whether one is upgrading, clean installing or just generally whether installing a new OS or not.

Windows 7 Ultimate 64Bit (SP 1)
Just to add my experience here. I have Build 7600 (From Technet)installed on 3 PC's, two were upgrades and one was a clean install to see the differences (Similar software profiles on all three PC's)
The only issue that I have experienced so far, is that PowerDVD, Virtual Clone Drive and Avast all needed to be re-installed. Otherwise the Upgrade seems to have worked without any major issues for me.

How explicit do we have to get to promote better, safer, sex?Posted by Tom Megginson | 7-02-2014 21:51 | Category: Health
You may want to put on your headphones, and watch your back, if you plan to watch this at work:
Just released by the International HIV/AIDS Alliance, this video is the latest in a series of attempts to make the safer sex message as sex-positive as possible.
According to The Independent:
The 60-second television spot, which has been described as one of the most provocative ads to be screened on British television, has already started tongues wagging amongst industry experts, and looks set to get pulses racing as well when it's broadcast at 11.45pm and 12.05am on Friday night - the only terrestrial showing it will receive.
It's a strategy guaranteed to get attention. (It got mine.) But what will the ultimate results be?
This is always a big question with "awareness" ads. People know they're supposed to wear condoms for casual sex, or with untested partners. But why don't they always do it? This ad shows people having great sex, but doesn't really address the inconvenience, loss of sensation, or just plain awkwardness that are psychological barriers to using this particular barrier method of birth control.
At least "Come Together" tries to normalize safer sex as exciting, hot and intense. But any good sex should be. In the opinion of this jaded, cynical old cause marketing warrior, this "sexy" ad's most likely results will be to help build the HIV/AIDS Alliance brand, as well as to help some creatives advance their careers. But at least we're still talking about the issue.
Thanks to Tatjana for the tip!

Underground vaults to be evaluated before Nashua sidewalk repair
On Wednesday, the aldermanic Finance Committee will review a proposed contract to hire a Portsmouth firm charged with evaluating and recommending remediation efforts for the underground structures.
"We knew some of these smaller structures were in existence, but the staff wasn't aware of some of the larger structures," City Engineer Steve Dookran said on Monday, explaining a handful of the underground rooms extend about 10 to 12 feet from some of the buildings.
Dookran said some of the vaults were likely built in the early 1900s or late 1800s, adding there are not many records or documentation on the underground chutes. It is important to evaluate the structural integrity of the underground rooms and determine whether they can hold the weight of a new sidewalk, said Dookran, adding engineers must also determine what kinds of repairs may be needed to strengthen the underground vaults.
"Structural elements include several rooms located under the sidewalk, existing vaults, access points and possibly old coal chutes that have been sealed in the basement but not addressed under the sidewalk," says a request for proposals by the City of Nashua.
Several locations have been identified along Main Street where bulkheads, coal chutes, manholes or access hatches are still located in the sidewalk. While these areas have been sealed off in basements, it is unknown what might remain below the sidewalk, according to the request for proposals. Specifically, there are five downtown buildings where a portion of the structure extends under the sidewalk, including an office building at 143 Main St., the new Twill knitting and fabric store at 100 Main St., Martha's Exchange at 185 Main St., Fay's Cabinetry at 172 Main St. and Nashua Garden deli at 121 Main St.
There are several other locations along Main Street where access hatches, air intakes or exhaust ports are visible from the sidewalk area to various basements that must also be evaluated before sidewalk work can take place, according to the document on file at Nashua City Hall.
"We can still proceed with the sidewalk (renovation) work, but we will try to work around these - at least in the beginning," said Dookran, explaining it should not delay the start of spring sidewalk improvements.
Construction crews first became aware of an underground structure while installing a new foundation for a mast arm traffic signal at 143 Main St. last summer. An underground room was located, which extended under the sidewalk about 12 feet from the face of the building.
"As a result, site visits have been made to each building in the project area to examine the existing basements, locate areas of concern and document existing conditions to the extent feasible," says the request for proposals, adding an evaluation is necessary as soon as possible so that sidewalk reconstruction can continue once the weather warms.
Hoyle, Tanner and Associates Inc. of Portsmouth is being recommended for the estimated $45,000 underground structural evaluation.
"The vault evaluation project is unique and will require a specialized set of skills," says a letter from Christopher Mulleavey of the engineering firm.
His company has recent experience with evaluation and repairs to basements of historic buildings, and previously designed structural repairs in a crawl space of the Amoskeag Mill building in Manchester.
Ten blocks along Main Street in Nashua will undergo major sidewalk improvements within the next three years, a project that could cost upwards of $2 million.
In addition to improving all of the sidewalks, city workers will correct drainage problems and install new street lights, mast arm mounted traffic signals, benches, trash containers and newspaper boxes. Every tree along Main Street will be removed and then new trees will be planted with root barriers so that they do not destroy the new sidewalks.
Work began last summer in the downtown area, as members of the city's Public Works Department began installing new sidewalks along both sides of the Main Street Bridge.
It is the city's intention to repair sidewalks from the Main Street Bridge up to Water Street on the west side and up to Park Street on the east side, in addition to the path from West Pearl Street to City Hall.
Wednesday's meeting begins at 7 p.m. at Nashua City Hall.

Happiness vs Money???
Find a Conversation
|Mon, 03-18-2013 - 8:53am
Hi team DSG,
This may sound like I'm babbling, but here goes.
At what point does being happy trump a big income? As you may remember I was recently promoted and am the youngest director at my company. Even though I was kind of doing the job before, I'm not sure that I was fully prepared for the pressure. The job pays incredibly well (I am making 6 figures with a potential 20% bonus - not bad for 31) but its killing me.
Last night I was in tears thinking about coming into the office today. I love the job about 20% of the time, but the hours and travel I have to work to do it are taking a toll on my health and wellbeing. I had a knot in my stomach all weekend and today it almost killed me to get in here. Now I am 31 and the thought of doing this for 30 more years is overwhelming. I like interacting with and helping people and I don't get a lot of that now.
I know what I want to do. I've known for probably about 3 years now. I want to be a registered dietitian. I've never pursued it because 1) I am in a great job and am making well above the average (my father would lose his marbles if he thought that I was honestly considering this - this is the man that thinks money is the be all end all and when I told him I was appointed director, his comment was - "when are you going to be VP?") and 2) it would require going back to school.
Well last night after having my breakdown, BF challenged me. He knows I'm not happy. I helped my mom create her diet plan just through my own research and she has lost almost 100lbs and is off her diabetes medication. I helped my aunt and uncle and both of them were able to control their diabetes through diet. I love it. I'm just not sure what to do. I look back over the past 5 years at how I've been bouncing around trying this and trying that and never committing to anything (but work). Ultimately I think deep down I've known this isn't the right path but I am terrified of walking away from it.
I looked into it and I could take most of the courses through distance education. There are several that are also offered in-class at night. Ultimately I would be able to complete 12 of the 20 courses while working full time (assuming 2 per semester three semesters a year). It would take two years. I would then have to go back full time for a year and a half to complete the final courses and do the internship. This is where the idea scares the pants off me.
Part of me thinks its crazy ... investing time and money to come out with a degree that will have me earning $40K LESS than what I do now! But when I think about the benefits and how I could really help someone, I love the idea. When I think about the possibilities of creating a business and putting all my energies into something that is mine that I truly believe in, I love it.
IDK. I did the quick math on it, and it woudl cost me abotu $700 per course. If I did nothing else but stopped paying my cleaning lady, that would cover a good chunk of it. I'm going to call the college today to see if there is any downside to doing it part time, and then call the university to see what they think.
This one would require a lot of thought . . .

I have a decent job in a very crappy environment making less than half what you do. And the city I live in is astronomically expensive. But I am happy. I get up at 6am, I take a jam packed bus 60 mins to a bustling downtown rat race. Then I commute in a sardine box (aka metro) to school. It is located on a hill so it is a 25 min hike uphill. Then I study. Go to class. Walk down the hill. Another box and then stand in the pouring rain waiting for the night bus. Get home at 10:15pm. Spend 1-1.5hrs studying or having my Dh tell me about my little ones. I do this 4 nights out of 5. Yet, I am happy. I am okay.
It is hard to be in school at my age. I love my life though. I never cared about money before I had children. We are nagged to put them in lessons (we don't). I get comments bc I cut their hair myself. My hair is a rat's nest (I'd be okay if the beehive came back in style). I am only in school for more money. I don't want my children to miss summer camp, hockey lessons, etc bc mommy didn't step up. I might not get that job and that money - but in end I will KNOW I tried. I will know that I did ALL I could. That you couldn't ask more of me. And that comforts me.
On top of my schedule, I still take care of my family. I precook healthful meals...I'm working on teaching DS1 subtraction & DS2 is learning to do a pushup...I am exercising and I am meditating. I have a full life.
My question to you is it worth it? Can you handle taking night classes and will it be worth it? Do you plan to have children someday...will the lower income be enough when they are there?
If so, why does this have to a big "all in" decision? Why not take some classes and start helping folks right away? There are plenty of people like your mother and aunt you could help? Could you volunteer? Just some thoughts as this seemed to touch a cord with me. I did what I supposedly "loved" for 10 yrs and I have absolutely nothing to show for it. The only reason we could afford a home in this city is bc I worked 2-3 jobs and I used vacations to do contract work. I'm getting old - and tired, LOL. Namaste, Dee

Pretty big career change from the sound of it, and RDs can make a comfortable salary. I think $60k at most hospitals and clinics near where I am (SE-VA). Running your own business with it will obviously get you less money.
If you can feeasibly use your current high paying job to get yourself out of debt and help pay for your classes next year, I don't see a reason to not do it. You'll be at the beginning of your career all over again but if you have little to no debt and some savings to help float you, it's attainable. You may need to work in other settings for a couple of years to make connections for referrals and what not, but you'll still be doing what you enjoy.

Thank you all for your comments/ feedback and suggestions!
You have no idea how much I appreciate hearing that I am not the only one going through this! I am still working through the process and as I mentioned have no intention of moving forward this year. The goal is to focus on the debt and consider it for next Fall. Even then it would be part time internet classes so I would still be working full time for another three years minimum which is enough time to pay off everything and save. But as I've learned, you never know . . . life could throw me a curve and I have to be ready for it (Maybe I'll be married by then and have another income to work with . . . HA!)
Again, thank you all so much!

As a poor manager of money myself, I'd say money is to help you do and have what you want. If becoming a dietitician is a calling, then you know it, because callings are strong. The only things that get in your way are doubts from yourself, doubts from others, and the ideas from the social "norm." If the opposing voices are exactly these, then you know. If it's a calling, you will never be happy unless you pursue it. Everything else is just planning and luck.
I know this because I talk to a lot of students who are interested in creative writing, or in going to grad school, or in becoming an artist, or in changing field to do something completely different. I can tell the people who are merely thinking about it because "it sounds cool," and people who heard the call, and in their soul they already know. (Funny, no one ever comes to ask my advice about taking a highly lucrative job.)
I usually tell them that they need to make sure they can make a career out of it if they're going to invest a serious amount of money. They'll usually have to put up with not making a whole lot of money for the rest of their lives. At 18-21, it seems no big deal to make $30k until retirement, but I try to warn them that their lawyer and doctor friends will start showing up in nice cars, etc. Can they handle the social pressure to dedicate themselves to their art? Can they give up good things for their kids -- or even kids themselves -- for their art? Think of your calling the same way -- would you be willing to sacrifice for it? If so, what and how much are you willing to sacrifice.
But people change. I had the calling to become an academic and I plunged in. But now I'm a changed man. I could use a more normal life. I could use a better geographic area. I could use a work environment that doesn't violate workplace policy or the law as often. I'd like a family. Kids. Sending them to my alma mater if they're smart enough, if my imaginary DW and I can afford it (right now I'm imagining that my DW is a big lawyer making big money, and I'm obviouslty her trophy husband). I sacrificed all these things when I made the choice... But, Bex, you're 30, and I think you have a better idea of how you want to live for the next 30 years than I did at 18. And if you're wrong for the 5 after that until retirement, big deal.
Others have offered pretty good advice, too. Sure, see if you can live on a smaller income. See if you can come up with the money for school. But ultimately only you know how much this is worth to you. If it's a calling, do it. If not, hang on to your high-income job while you look for something you can imagine doing for the next 35 years.

Believed to be a seedling of the excellent Guatemalan import Nabal, the Reed avocado originated in Carlsbad, California, on the property of James Reed. Perfect for the backyard grower, this compact tree fruits precociously even with no other tree available for cross-pollination. The fruit that it sets would make its mother proud: the large and round fruit with green pebbly skin yields flesh rated of excellent quality. The seed is in fact fairly large, but more than compensated by the huge quantity of smooth and delicate flesh with a fine "nutty" flavor. Many consider the Reed to be the best tasting of the avocados available in the United States. The fruit ripens after October on California's Central Coast. The oil content increases with the time the fruit hangs on the tree.
$38 per tree (6″x6″x16″ pot)
Available on Mexican seedling rootstock.
Due to freezes in our area that we received in December 2013, our nursery was badly damaged, and we will have limited trees for sale in 2014. Please check in with us again next year!
