Chapter 2: Whenever Two or More Are Gathered: Organizing Your Community
Whenever Two or More Are Gathered: Organizing Your Community
By now you may have started thinking there's real potential for improvement in your neighborhood. The question is, what are you going to do to make it happen? More important, what do you do first? It may seem obvious, but before you do anything, research your neighborhood.
Never doubt that a small group of concerned people can change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has. MARGARET MEAD |
For all you know, someone may already be planting or planning to plant. You may not know because existing efforts are often underpublicized. Nonetheless, time and energy have been expended and lessons may already have been learned. As we alluded to at the end of the last chapter, community efforts require, above all else, cooperation, trust, and goodwill, so it's most important to avoid unintentional offense by announcing a project that apparently ignores an existing one.
Can you play a role in the existing effort? Does it match your goals? If not, are the principals willing or able to adapt their project to include your ideas and goals, or you theirs? There is neither time nor money for competition in this arena. If it is truly not possible to work with an existing effort, be sure to make your own project distinct and complementary rather than competitive.
If you're on your own out there and want to start something more than you can handle with just a couple of neighbors, seek out organizations such as chambers of commerce, homeowners associations, and citizen-planning commissions, who may have a strong interest in taking part in projects that support their missions. Other organizations like garden clubs, scout troops, religious groups, local schools and PTAs, service clubs, corporate volunteer programs, and neighborhood-watch groups might want to use a street-tree planting to further benefit the community.
How's Your Community Doing? American Forests Magazine tells us that a community can divide the average life span of its trees into the total tree count (including vacant planting locations) to come up with the approximate number of trees that should be planted annually to replace those being lost. New York City, for example, has 700,000 trees or tree spaces in its inventory. Dividing thirty-two (the life span of an average urban tree) into that number yields 21,875 trees that New York should be planting each year. As a whole, the U.S. isn't doing too well. In our cities on average, we are planting one tree for every four lost. |
It's likely that groups such as these will be able to tap many of the resources needed for tree projects, like volunteers and fundraising capability, not to mention friends in high places. To help you find out what organizations exist in your community, refer to The Encyclopedia of Associations published by Gale Research.
As we've said earlier, when you make the commitment to working and getting along with others to create a tree project, you're already having a positive effect on the lives of others. Once you know how to inspire and unite people toward a common goal—in this case to green your community—you'll rapidly find there are many issues about which you and your neighbors feel strongly. A single individual facing city hall has come to symbolize the impossible fight. But an organized group is more visible with the potential to directly influence city decisions. A group dedicated to planting trees in the neighborhood will get a reputation as a group dedicated to public service. Tree projects can be just the beginning. Don't worry about what an organization should look like or be. Just take it a step at a time and look for ways to accept others into the fold.
What's It Worth? Dr. Rowan Rowntree with the U.S. Forest Service estimates that our current urban forest may already be saving this country $4 billion in energy costs. But what about the smaller scale? Another study shows that property value can increase as much as 20 percent with the addition of trees. The Council of Tree and Landscape Appraisers uses the concept of replacement value to put numbers on individual tree values. Their formula starts with an assigned basic value for a tree's shade production and other functions, based on the diameter of the trunk. By that standard, the 1988 value of a ten-inch-diameter tree, for example, was $1,729. The tree's health, location, and species are factored into the final figure. In 1985, the American Forestry Association did a rough estimate of the annual values that an average fifty-year-old urban tree would supply: air conditioning, $73; soil erosion and stormwater control, $75; wildlife shelter, $75; and air pollution control, $50. Total value in 1985 dollars: $273. Total value, compounded at 5 per cent for fifty years: $57,151! |
Some distinct advantages encourage broadening your tree project into a community activity—even if that means taking on one another's yards. A large-scale tree project will have a greater impact on the look of your neighborhood and provide substantial benefits for the environment as a whole.
2. Clean the air by absorbing odors and pollution. 3. Conserve energy by shading and cooling homes and buildings and breaking up urban heat islands, thereby reducing the need for air-conditioning. 4. Reduce water consumption and increase atmospheric moisture. 5. Prevent water runoff and soil erosion by breaking rainfall and holding soil. 6. Produce food and mulch. 7. Provide a canopy and habitat for wildlife. 8. Transform barren areas and provide buffers from harsh urban landscapes. 9. Increase property values and improve business traffic. 10. Add unity, identity, landmarks, and pride to communities working together. 11. Absorb noise, dust, and heat. 12. Reduce glare. 13. Provide visual barriers and fire and wind breaks. 14. Provide fuel and craft wood. 15. Serve as a vehicle for personal and community activism. 16. Provide employment. 17. Turn vacant lots into parks and playgrounds. 18. Provide protection against the increase in cancer-causing ultraviolet rays due to the depletion of the ozone layer. 19. Serve as friends, companions, playmates, and teachers. 20. Provide spiritual and creative inspiration. 21. Dramatically accentuate seasons in the city. 22. Act as symbols of life, peace, hope for the future, and life-style change. 23. Produce a sense of rootedness, connectedness, and community. |
If you decide to plant trees on public property, remember that consolidation means you can reduce paperwork. Most cities require tree permits but will sometimes issue a blanket permit for a group of trees. It is best if you can purchase bulk supplies, because the cost per tree decreases every time you add one to your project. If you need to hire a contractor to cut cement sidewalks, you'll save money if the work is performed under one contract at one time, even if your sites are spread around the neighborhood a little. Cutting tree wells at different times will certainly add to the cost.
How do you interest your neighbors in a tree project when, with our busy lives, just getting together for dinner can be a challenge? In this chapter, you'll read concrete suggestions for capturing local interest and support, which will be the first of many changes in your neighborhood.
Before you let your neighbors in on your ideas, set your own goals. Tree projects take many forms. You may want to simply fill in the gaps in your already-planted street, or perhaps plant the next generation if your street trees are mature. Or you may feel like tackling a large-scale planting along the whole street, either on private property or on city-regulated sidewalks. Perhaps you have trees in dire need of maintenance. Though this is usually the responsibility of the city, it's often neglected due to lack of resources. Are there parking lots nearby that ought to be shaded? Are there businesses that would like trees on the sidewalk in front of their buildings? Decide what you think will best benefit your neighborhood and see if others agree. Don't work on details now—the next chapter covers step-by-step planning—but get an idea of what you want to accomplish.
Restoring the Earth The practice of environmental restoration—putting back what was originally there—is becoming recognized as an important facet of environmental activism. Restoration can be as simple as a group of neighbors replanting a decimated hillside with native-tree species, or one family's reclamation of their own backyard with the grasses and plants that grew there before suburbia took over. On a larger scale, restoration projects have brought back tracts of forest and prairie; saved members of endangered species; and purified dirty rivers and waterways, replanted their banks with original vegetation, and restocked them with fish. Laws require corporations and developers to reverse some of the environmental damage they create, and sophisticated technology can make enormous undertakings possible. However, not all damage can be fixed, and complex ecosystems are not easily replaced. Critics warn against restoration being held out as a cure-all. A recommended book, Restoring the Earth by John J. Berger, recounts inspiring restoration success stories. See Resources for details. |
Who do you want to involve? Are the residences on your street largely privately owned? Are there apartment dwellers who would welcome involvement in a communal project? Consider the role you want to play in the project. Project leader, planting supervisor, or mere visionary? If you're not clear early on, it might be difficult to get others interested.
THE VISION PROCESS I do it best while listening to classical music, walking, hiking, or bike riding with something to occupy the linear part of my brain. I put on rock music and lie down and roll myself from side to side like I'm in a trance. That's when the good stuff comes to me. I have to keep my eyes closed so that reality doesn't block the creative flow of my imagination. It doesn't matter how you do it, but creating your vision can be the most powerful part of your entire project, and it deserves a lot of respect. If you've never taken anything past the good-idea stage, try this. Think about the project and envision it as complete. Examine all the elements as they would be if the project were finished. Spend some time savoring those images. Now work backwards. Build a bridge back to the present. From the point of completion back, at every phase, see if you can see who is doing what and what resources or tools are being used. Without limiting yourself by wondering how you can afford it, list the kinds of people and resources you envision you'll need. As the vision unfolds, ask yourself, "How might we do that?" Limiting thoughts will come up, but don't let them stand in the way of this process. Simply ask the question and let your imagination create answers. Notice the information you're getting. Some of it may seem easy to accomplish and some may seem crazy or preposterous. That's perfect. If it helps, make notes. Now return to the conscious world and begin to build the bridge, in concept form, from the present reality to the envisioned completed project. Visit the site and try linking your vision with what's currently there. Next comes the difficult, exciting part. Begin to talk with people close to you. The more you have to put your idea into words, the clearer and sharper it will become. People may challenge you or criticize or laugh at your plan. That's okay. Take the feedback, hold the comments at arm's length, and evaluate whether or not they give additional perspective or information that will ultimately help you. Do you need to alter your plan or your communication of it so that people better understand it? Is it something that's still not solid enough for others to see? That's also fine. Remember that others—even family—can be threatened by a burst of inspiration and expression that may have them reevaluating their lives. A first response can be defensive or even offensive. Don't lose heart. Others have their own processes to go through too. Another valuable part of sharing your idea is that often your friends and family have resources, suggestions, or energy to add. When others start holding the vision, the goal becomes much more real. |
Think carefully about your commitment to follow through. Planting and caring for trees is a powerful way to make a difference in a community, but your enthusiasm will face obstacles along the way, and you need to be prepared. Keep in mind that the greater the obstacles, the more rewarding the end result!
Plan on putting together a core group of committed individuals early on. Discuss your ideas with people you know. Garner their support before you bring in others you don't know. Talk to your neighbors. Give them an idea of what you'd like to accomplish. Go door to door. Introduce yourself and chat about your ideas. The goal is to get people thinking about the potential and dreaming of what the neighborhood could be. You may want to start by writing a letter to everyone on your street, making copies, and hand delivering them. The more personal the contact with people, the greater the response will be. You can put letters in mailboxes, but that's just one more piece of mail to sift through or to toss. If you hand deliver, your neighbors can attach a face to the project.

If you are not used to communicating in this way with strangers, selling your idea to them may seem daunting. If you're going door to door in your neighborhood, you're doing it in the best way possible—but that doesn't mean it's a pushover. Some people are very wary about opening the door to anyone they're not expecting. If they appear irritated, cautious, or downright rude, don't take it as a personal affront. You may have inadvertently taken them away from an activity that needed their concentration. Apologize, ask if you can continue or whether you should call back at another time, and move on—either with the purpose of your visit or to the next house! It's hard but necessary for you to protect yourself from being hurt by rejection. Talk to yourself under your breath on the way to the front door, shield yourself with an imaginary veil, go in pairs, meet before or after for coffee with the committee so you can blab about how it all went—whatever works. But do it. (For further information, see page 77.)
Spend time getting to know more about your neighborhood and the people who live there. Think of the places where people gather: a cafe, the laundromat, a local bank, a school, the post office, the day-care center, the park, or even a driveway down the street. Who hangs out there and who knows all the gossip? The goal is to find those people who have a hand in everything and to share your idea with them. They'll often know who to talk to and will probably help spread the word.
Now bring together as many people as possible! Invite them over for coffee, tea, or dessert some evening, or perhaps on a Sunday afternoon.
This initial gathering can be very informal. You might consider making a map of the neighborhood so that on arrival everyone can mark down their particular residence. You can then make copies and distribute the maps. Since you've called the meeting, it's up to you to be prepared with some material, ideas, or information. If you think your project will be on public land, make a quick call to the responsible agency for an idea on how long the permit process will take. (See Chapter 3.) It will help you set a timeline if your meeting goes that route. Have a clear idea of what you'd like to see happen but stay open to suggestions. Don't have your idea so developed that no one can contribute to the creative process. Ask people to share their ideas and dreams for the neighborhood. Support them in making the project their own because, believe it or not, their support is vital to your success. If it's all your idea, then it's all your project!
Planning the Meeting
Have an agenda for your initial meeting. You may not plan to lead the whole project, but you're the one who's taken the initiative. Here's a suggested outline for a preliminary meeting.
1. When people arrive, give out name tags. It helps break down barriers.
2. Start the meeting by introducing yourself and thanking the people for coming. (Acknowledging that you need their support is a key element in helping them feel part of the project.) Let them know your purpose. Tell them when the meeting will be over and don't keep anyone longer than an hour and a half. Post your agenda on a large piece of paper or hand it out. Have everyone introduce themselves to the group. Which house is theirs? What ideas or dreams do they have for greening the neighborhood? Discourage a gripe session.
3. Acknowledge that this time, for convenience; you'll facilitate the meeting. Ultimately, you can have other people host and lead meetings, but don't push it until others show their interest, ability, or energy.
4. Begin your agenda, which might look something like the agenda at left.
5. For the What's-Possible section, it would be good to have a reference book with pictures of different tree species or a sketch of your street that highlights possible planting spots. Others can then add their ideas. If you've really done your homework, you might have some slides of your favorite trees in the neighborhood.
6. During the discussion-brainstorm, record the ideas on a posted piece of paper. Brainstorms should only focus on the positive to encourage people to feel comfortable enough to share ideas. Don't comment. Don't commit sabotage. The purpose is to emerge with possibilities and to encourage others to contribute. Brainstorming generates ideas; it does not evaluate what is realistic. Encourage people to be outrageous and to dream, as opposed to commenting on the ideas of others. What may look outrageous in this setting might be a fresh new practical solution when you come to implementation. Once ideas are recorded, go back and discuss them. Highlighting strengths helps others feel appreciated and involved. All it takes is a little insensitivity now to lose someone for the rest of the program.
7. Make it clear that, while everyone will be needed for the project, a few will have to help organize. Don't try to do it all yourself. You'll probably burn out and be discouraged forever from planting! Try recruiting one or two people to work with you on the following tasks:
- contacting the local government agency for regulations and beginning the process of getting a permit, including a list of approved trees for your street, if necessary, assuming your work will be on land that requires government approval
- contacting the neighbors who haven't yet been reached
- collecting information on trees, prices, nurseries, and other supplies
- locating tools
- fundraising
- planning, producing, and running additional meetings
- coordinating the planting day, the block party, and the barbecue
- organizing other volunteers, resources, and publicity
8. This group may express reservations about getting involved before they know how much time or money they'll have to devote to the project. Perhaps you'll have some sample costs to share. But even if you don't, try to steer people away from getting stuck by worrying where money, energy, or time will come from. Be prepared for their concerns by reading Chapter 3 before the meeting.
9. Establish an estimated timeline for planting.
10. Set a date and time to meet with the organizing group. If it doesn't feel like an undue amount of pressure, try creating a list of action items to accomplish by, or report on, at the next meeting.
11. Wrap up the formal part of the meeting. Create a roster of names, phone numbers, and addresses.
12. Let everyone know that you, or one of the new organizers, will be back in touch for another meeting on types of trees and so forth, unless decision making has been delegated to the organizing committee.
13. Adjourn the meeting. Be prepared to chat and munch for a while afterward, as important informal discussion is likely to take place.
Books Are Made From Trees, Right? In April 1986, an arsonist set fire to the Los Angeles Central Library. Once the flames were out, a rescue operation was mounted, using TreePeople's skills to coordinate the hundreds of volunteers who wanted to save the remaining books from irreversible water damage. The operation set a record for library evacuation. ARCO—headquartered opposite the library—provided a bank of phones and offices to house the telephone operators coordinating the rescue. A small bank twenty miles away happened to have a phone number one digit short of the rescue hotline. An irate bank manager called ARCO and asked for Andy Lipkis. "You'd better send someone down here right now to handle this mess! We're getting calls from people who want to volunteer at the library and it's interfering with our work!" Andy explained that the library fire was interfering with TreePeople's work too and ARCO's and most of all the library's. He suggested the bank become a part of the rescue team and assign a staffer to give phone instructions. There was an almost audible shift in the manager's attitude. He got the point and began to give, instead of complain. |
The process doesn't have to be this organized, but it helps when you are hosting a lot of interested people. An additional step would be to ask someone from a local tree group, or your city's urban forester, to speak to your gathering.
After the Meeting
After your first meeting, move quickly to obtain results. Collect information vital to the project or establish contacts in city agencies. The faster you move, the better. People need to see progress. On your roster, make a note of those who expressed interest in the project, those who offered to plant, and those who are part of the organizing committee. Stay in touch!
Be aware of the vast resources at your fingertips. Your neighbors are a primary resource. By offering them a chance to put their skills to work, you let them know how valuable they are to the effort. Neighborhood groups you're not working with directly may nevertheless be helpful when it comes to specific tasks.
If you followed our advice, you checked out what community organizations already exist in your neighborhood. Don't overlook your city-council representative or county supervisor. It's their job to facilitate community activity. Call their offices. Not only can they help you contact existing organizations but they can often facilitate your work with government agencies and the consequent red tape!
If you don't know who your elected officials are, your local public library will probably carry a Public Officials Roster with this information. Newspapers and flyers may also provide leads. Don't forget to ask your friends and neighbors for suggestions.
Getting Formal
We suggest you call the offices of your state attorney general for further information on incorporating as a nonprofit if that's what you think you'll eventually want to do. States will vary in their requirements, but most have literature to help you establish yourself. The Internal Revenue Service is another good source of information on the laws, policies, and standards regarding fundraising.
For further support, many states also have organizations that may offer classes or provide information on establishing a nonprofit, including grant writing. For example, the Foundation Center in New York has information on the types of grants available and how to seek funding—both private and public. For information, see listing in Resources.
WHAT'S IN A NAME? Each week in the world, a forest the size of London disappears. Hence was founded the organization called The Forest of London after a fortuitous visit by Andy and Katie Lipkis in 1984. Crann, an organization created to replant the hardwoods of Ireland, took its name from the Gaelic word for tree. Andy Lipkis founded the California Conservation Project in 1973 because, as a long-haired, bearded teenager, he wanted an official-sounding name, but the public insisted on calling the group "the tree people." The worldwide Men of the Trees, founded by Richard St. Barbe Baker, was the name he gave to the volunteers from a tribe of Kenyan dancing warriors he creatively enlisted in 1920 for a reforestation campaign. The title, Global ReLeaf, a project of the American Forestry Association, was derived from a poster entitled "Urban Releaf," created by Doyle, Dane, Bernbach for TreePeople's Million Tree Campaign in 1982. Whatever your project, there's a perfect name. Sit with your vision long enough, and your name will come to you! |
Later on, if you get bitten by this bug, you may be asked to make presentations to groups interested in tree planting or maintenance. Your purpose will be to provide information, direction, and in some cases to assist others in organizing their project. Improving your speaking skills will also help you more eloquently lead planting and maintenance demonstrations, recruit volunteers, and raise money.
We've all heard speakers who read their presentation in a dull, monotonous tone. The fear of speaking should be the fear of being boring! You have the basic natural skills for speaking. The trick is developing fluency. The first step is to visualize yourself speaking the way you'd like to. Believing you can do it makes a difference. Joining an organization like Toastmasters, which helps improve public speaking skills, can be helpful. Meanwhile, this section can set you on the right path.
In preparing your speech, be clear about your purpose. What would you like to come out of the talk? Know your audience's interests and the kind of support they'll require. If possible, ask the contact person in advance. If you feel comfortable, invite questions of the group before you speak, so you can address their concerns in your presentation. Write the questions or pointers on a chalkboard if one is available.
Preparation will give you confidence. Have an outline in big type or reference cards as reminders of important points. It's better to speak from your heart and talk about what you know. Don't lecture. Interact with the group. Encourage them in their strengths and work with them through their weaknesses.
Give a brief introduction before you cover your main topics, then offer a conclusion. In the introduction, give a preview of the subjects so the audience will be able to follow your thoughts. Your main topics should stem from your assessment of the group. In the conclusion, it is helpful to give a summary of what you have talked about and to include suggestions for action.
In general, assume the group knows nothing about the topics you're covering. Give explanations of terms you use, such as greenhouse effect or sucker growth. Try to relate stories or anecdotes that illustrate your experience with tree projects.
- Dress appropriately for the group and the setting. If everyone will be in business suits, dress professionally. If people are casual, your attire can be more relaxed. When in doubt, dress up rather than down. If they can accept you at first glance, they will listen to what you say.
- Thank the group for inviting you and for their interest.
- Tell about your involvement in tree projects and experiences.
- Use visual aids—anything from a seedling or shovel to pictures or a brochure.
- Take time to collect your thoughts before you get up to speak. Review your notes, take some deep breaths, remember why you're there and what you want to accomplish.
- The audience is hungry for information but will not bite! Be yourself. Relax. If you're nervous, turn it around and use the energy. Just don't get nervous about being nervous. Accept it. Have fun. You can even tell people you're nervous.
- It's okay not to know every answer. Refer people to a source such as your local tree group if you have one or other pertinent organizations, or offer to find out and then get back to them.
- Many public speakers practice in front of a mirror to observe their body language. If you gesture too much, it may be distracting. If you don't move at all, it can be boring. Also, listening to yourself on a tape can increase your awareness of tone and rate of speaking. If you have access to a video camera, so much the better!
- Speak to the person in the back of the room and everyone will hear you.
- Eye contact is very important, especially in small groups. Try to speak to each individual using your eyes to make a connection. As a speaker, you'll develop your own unique speaking style. Concise and accurate information is the key to being an effective speaker regardless of your personal style.
ROOTS IN ECOLOGY-Andy Lipkis with a few of the 8,000 smog-resistant trees he plans on replanting.
BY MICHAEL SEIZER Andy Lipkis, a l9-year-old college freshman very much into ecology, had this idea a couple of years ago: The trees in the San Bernardino National Forest are dying from the smog that drifts east out of Los Angeles, so find some smog-resistant trees and replant them there. After all, Lipkis thought, the experts say the forest in the Big Bear-Lake Arrowhead-Barton Flats area could be dead in as little as 20 years if nothing is done. A pure case for a bit of individual initiative, right? One young man could get the ecological bandwagon rolling. It wasn't quite that easy. There were some complications along the way. Like the bureaucracy of the California Division of Forestry. Lipkis discovered a few months ago that the division had 20,000 smog-resistant Sierra redwoods and sugar pines, all under a year old, growing in its tree nursery up near Davis. Andy told the forestry people his plan. They said that it was a nice idea, but rules are rules and the division does not give its baby trees away. If they're not sold they're plowed under. They cost two and one-half cents per tree and Andy wanted all 20,000 trees. Tight Student Budget Which is more money than a kid on a tight student budget can handle. He went to a few of the bigger corporations that talk a good ecology game. But Andy, an environmental studies major at Cal State Sonoma, had no luck in coming up with the $500 needed to buy the trees. And while he was making the rounds, time was slipping away. "They (the forest division administrators) said I had to get the money by March 16 or they'd kill the trees," Andy said. "They were going to plow them under to replant . . ." |
The more comfortable you are with the facts and information you are delivering, the easier it will be for you to refine your presentation. A technique to use for subjects you are not familiar with is to learn the material from a brochure or article, even memorize it, then begin saying it your own way. The more practice you have, the more readily words will come to you.
Every presentation is a practice for the next one, so make notes to yourself. What worked? What didn't? How could you do it better? You can be your own best critic. Your speaking skills will improve quickly if you take the opportunity to evaluate yourself in a constructive way and then practice.
Citizen Foresters need to communicate to groups at various levels. Whether you are speaking to a group formally or informally, doing a demonstration, or just answering questions, people will look to you for leadership. Interaction requires listening as well as speaking. Listening is a first step to being listened to.
If you're interested in your topic, your audience probably will be too. Think of what inspires you and speak from that perspective. Speaking is sharing information, knowledge, and experience. People relate to what you're saying if you're both excited and focused.
If you lose your train of thought, pause. If you don't remember something, move on and come back to it. When people look restless, suggest a stretch break or ask a question. You are in charge of your presentation. Keep believing. Good luck!

Why trust the information on this site? Read about the man who did the scientific research!Charles McPhee is the creator of dreamdoctor.com. He dedicated his life to learning and understanding the language of dreams at a young age. It was the focus of his undergraduate studies at Princeton University, where he wrote his senior thesis on lucid dreaming, later published by Henry Holt and Co. as Stop Sleeping through your Dreams: a Guide to Awakening Consciousness during Sleep. Because no graduate programs, even at the best universities in the world, offered much more than a few lectures on dreams much less an entire curriculum, Mr. McPhee began his professional career studying dreams from the vantage point of hospital dream laboratories. With the growing popularity of the Internet, he created dreamdoctor.com to collect and analyze dreams from around the world. Since then, he amassed the largest database of dreams in human history. With that, he was able to prove that we all speak the same language in our dreams, but instead of using words, the language is comprised of symbols. All of the information about dreams posted on the site is based on findings substantiated by that database. To read more about Charles, click here.

No Japanese food, not even sushi, has become as widely accepted in America as Ramen. And why not? It's fast, cheap, filling enough to qualify as a meal and college students who never learned to cook can make it - and it's full of salt, America's favorite condiment. Nissin Cup of Noodle Ramen Noodle Soup has 60% of the daily value for sodium - and that's why we call it DietTrash.
The folks at Nissin have realized that they could be missing out on the health-conscious market, and have thus made a new line called Nissin Choice Ramen, which are, "revolutionarily air-dried (you know, like any Italian pasta) for 80% less fat and contain 25% less sodium than regular ramen." Well, it was 31 cents for a package, so I decided to give it a go.
The instructions for cooking is simple - boil water in pot, add noodles, cook 2-3 minutes, add seasonings, slurp away. I added some frozen peas, carrots, and corn to the water since I felt as if this needed something that had actual nutritional value. The package advocates breaking the ramen block in two, but I decided to just drop it in and separate it with a fork, which worked fine. Once the noodles were cooked, I added my boullion - excuse me - herb seasonings.
My first bite told me that maybe these guys were really onto something with the air-drying - the texture is pretty much identical to regular ramen. You can tell the broth is less salty than normal ramen, and I really didn't taste any herbs, but it was decent enough. I could have added some poultry seasoning to give it a bit of depth - and if I really felt up to it, some actual chicken would have been nice. Still, I enjoyed digging my chopsticks in, slurping noisily, and making a pig of myself all in the name of authenticity.
Once package of Nissin Choice Ramen Savory Chicken Herb Flavor is 2 servings (but are your really going to split the season packet?). It provides 280 calories, 2 grams of fat, 40% of the daily value for sodium (wow), 4 grams of fiber, and 10 grams of protein.
While this does contain a fraction of the fat and a few less calories, the sodium is still astronomically high, even if it is less than regular ramen. There are many other soups reviewed on Iateapie.net, ALL of which have less sodium. They may not be as cheap, but the lower sodium content (and better nutritional value for some of them) make them more desirable to me.

A model fainted at a recent photo shoot. Seeing someone so tall, lithe and thin flutter to the ground is kind of like watching a giraffe sway, then collapse. Fortunately we caught her before she hit ground; later she told us that she'd been running late that morning and hadn't had time to eat. As she was helped toward a chair, she passed out. We put pillows under her head and legs, then gave her some juice, part of a muffin and after a brief rest she was back on set. I wish I could say this was a fashion shoot first, but there's a reason most of these models are so unbelievably thin. They don't eat like the rest of us. Actually they don't really eat at all. They nibble, skip meals and obsessively watch calorie consumption. It's the nature of their profession and it's their livelihood. Unfortunately if they do gain a few pounds, they risk not working.
For over a decade, fashion magazine editors have decried the waifish, starvation look, but does it ever change? Nope. At TCW we have truly gone out of our way to discover models who look healthy, have toned bodies and are beyond a size 2 – keep in mind, these women are usually 5'10″ or so. And yet they're hard to find, since there's a gap between size 0 and 2 models – 6, 8 and 10 sizes are unheard of. After a model is beyond a size 2 or a rare 4, it's right into plus size. There's no in between.
Fashion models aren't a size 6, 8 or 10. Those dress sizes are skipped over and it's right into the plus size model, which in most instances doesn't look like what we imagine plus size to be. But that's not surprising, since the plus size model often wears a size 8 or 10. Fact is that both photographers and retailers like to showcase apparel at its best. And they understand that the thinner models are simply better props for apparel.
We also want to present clothing at its optimum best in TCW. BUT we also want to do so by using models who appear to be a healthy weight. And sometimes this presents a few challenges of its own. You'd be surprised at how many times Victor Skrebneski has photographed a model for a TCW fashion shoot with the back of her dress unzipped – and that dress may be a size 8. Our December cover model, Tiffany Hocken, is a size 8, for example. And while she looks like a different woman on this cover, fact is it's the third time in 2010 that she's appeared on a TCW cover. And yes, the zipper on the dress she's wearing isn't zipped all the way up.

It's easy to feel negative about all the problems facing our country today. We have been embroiled in an economic calamity for the last four years that I believe rivals that of the Great Depression. Our housing market has tanked and does not seem to be going anywhere. Plus, we've lost millions of jobs overseas and lose more every day to corporate greed.
But if you look at the U.S. from the perspective of other countries in the world, you would see the things in a different light. You might not get bogged down in all the negatives and even be able to focus on the amazing number of positives with which we are blessed.
Start with the economic picture: While it is not as positive as it was four years ago, our GDP is still nearing $16 trillion. We triple the next largest countries, China and Japan, who are at a mere $5 trillion. Our per capita GDP is a staggering 12 times that of China's. That means it takes 12 Chinese workers to produce the same output as one American.
This is why America's per capital income stands at $47,200, compared with only $4,260 in the Middle Kingdom. Many Chinese have to work nearly 70 hours a week to take that home.
While the U.S. has been running large trade deficits for the past 50 years, we have a surplus of services that go unnoticed. We remain a leader in banking and finance, thanks to the dollar being the reserve currency globally. If you were to transfer dollars from the U.K. to Japan, it would have to go through New York. We trade oil in the dollar, and more than half of the printed dollars in existence today are held overseas.
The world's wealthiest send their children to our great universities. Six of the world's 10 best schools are here, matched only by Oxford, Cambridge, Tokyo University and Beijing University.
While our debt level is a concern, our credit markets are doing better than expected. With our 10-year Treasury bond rates at 1.47 percent and our long term inflation rate appearing to be around 3 percent, this means our government can continue to borrow for practically nothing.
And while I have discussed in the past the problems we face with a large number of aging Americans entering retirement, the echo-boomers are right around the corner to help us out on that front. We have nearly 68 million young Americans growing up right now and poised to turn around the economic picture in the next decade. China and Japan, meanwhile, are still embroiled in a "one child act" that could have devastating effects on them in the future.
So the next time you are feeling pessimistic about some news story you saw, please remember that from the outside we are still looking great and should continue our global leadership in the future.

Since 1989, The Miami Symphony Orchestra has mimicked Miami's cultural diversity with concerts and events that act as a melting pot of musical influences. Music director Eduardo Marturet, a Venezuelan composer and conductor, helms many of the concerts, encouraging the musicians to unleash their inner Beethovens or Bachs—former members of the '80s hair-metal band Skid Row.
Transit Lounge, one of Miami's favorite bars and live music venues, is located in Brickell just a block away from Mary Brickell Village. Transit features live music and entertainment all week long on its main and patio stages, including showcases by local and national bands. Come sing Karaoke with a LIVE BAND every Tuesday
The Burgundy Room's kitchen serves up a mouthwatering menu of contemporary coastal cuisine in a hip open lounge. Kick off gastronomical journeys with crispy Serrano ham and gorgonzola croquettes served with poblano aioli ($6), great for sharing. Those that want to cool off mouths without chewing on an air conditioner can nosh a salad of chilled Key West pink shrimp, mingling in a party of roma tomatoes, feta, red onion, and diced apples, all running through a sprinkler of balsamic vinaigrette ($12). Alternatively, famished foodies can chow on esculent entrees, from a seafood linguini populated by lobster, scallops, shrimps and mussels in a white wine lemon sauce ($20), to the grilled filet mignon, bedecked by brandy-drunk mushrooms that stumble over onions and fall into herb-roasted red potato pillows ($24).
Despite the large contemporary buildings that surround it today, the Gusman Center for the Performing Arts retains as much charm as the day it opened in 1926, christened then as the Olympia Theater, a silent movie palace. Its completely restored Mediterranean courtyard, gilded balconies, Wurlitzer organ and decorative plasterwork serve as a reminder to the days when going to the theater was a major event. In its heyday the likes of Elvis Presley, B.B. King, Luciano Pavarotti and Etta James crossed the Gusman Center stage. Today the entertainment hall is home to jazz concerts, film festivals, the city's emerging ballet company Ballet Palm Beach and the Miami Lyric Opera. And because it offers an intimate setting, it is possible to attend the opera without needing opera glasses.
Sporting Miami-Dade's oldest liquor license, Tobacco Road has been the city's quintessential bar for more than 100 years. A speakeasy where Al Capone reportedly once drank and gambled, Tobacco Road now specializes in what Frommer's lauds as "good and greasy bar fare." Bites range from houesmade empanadas and smoked baby-back ribs to the "death burger"—Angus beef crowned with grilled onions, jalapenos, and jack cheese.
As bartenders pour top-shelf liquors and beers, musicians rock out every night on the same stage once graced by blues luminaries, such as John Lee Hooker and Buddy Guy. The party lasts until 5 a.m. every night, leaving just enough time for Tobacco Road's vampire maintenance crew to clean up before sunrise.

GrowCamp 4' x 8' is a raised garden bed and a greenhouse with pest-proof netting and waterproof plastic cover. GrowCamp allows you to grow year round in a pest-free, controlled environment.
Features & Benefits:
- Grow year round, holds up to wind and snow
- Better control over growing conditions: temperature, light, soil, pest control
- Produces up to four times higher yields
- Accessible raised garden bed - 16" high base
- Install on the ground or on a patio
- Easy, tool-free assembly in 2-3 hours. Instructions included.
- Dimensions: 4' W x 8' L x 5' H
Garden Bed
4' x 8' raised garden bed produces up to four times higher yield due to better soil, temperature and light conditions. Base is 16 inches high, and it is bottomless so the soil stays adequately drained. It can be placed directly on the ground or on a patio. Just keep in mind it is heavy when filled with soil so only set up on a surface that can sustain the weight.
- Plastic cover for top and sides like a grow tent
- Extends growing season, for multiple harvests
- Great for tomatoes, peppers, cucumber and other greenhouse plants
- Plastic attaches by velcro, and rolls up to access the garden
- Remove plastic from sides when weather warms up
Plastic cover can be mounted over the insect screen and protects the garden bed like a cold frame or cloche. Creates a greenhouse effect, so you can start plants a few months earlier and extend your growing season significantly. Plastic cover is flexible so it can be rolled up when it's hot out, or rolled down when it's cold. You can remove the plastic cover and store during the summer.
Insect Screen
- Keeps out insects such as aphids, carrot rust fly, cabbage moth and slugs
- Prevents birds, rabbits, cats, and deer from eating your vegetables and flowers
- Protects plants from harsh weather - heavy rain, strong wind and hail
- Allows about 90% of rainwater to penetrate the screen
- Good ventilation and light shading
- Attaches by velcro along the top and sides of the greenhouse frame
- Rolls up easily so you can access the garden
Grow Tray
- Planting tray for seedlings and starter plants
- Start young plants in a safe environment while other crops grow below
- Hangs securely across the GrowCamp frame (4 feet long)
- Self-watering: capillary mat fits inside the tray and wicks water up to the seedlings
- Made from heavy duty plastic
Weather resistant, UV-protected plastic. This greenhouse is designed for harsh outdoor conditions and can withstand strong winds. This is due to the criss-crossed steel wires which help provide stability. Engineered in Denmark and made in China.

- Your website states that you can grow year round. Is this accurate for areas that have moderate snow?
- Yes. Cool weather crops like Brassicas (broccoli, cauliflower, kale, cabbage, brussel sprouts) and winter salad greens, pak choi, peas and broad beans, onions, carrots and radishes can be grown through the cold month using the greenhouse cover for GrowCamp. Overwinter crops like garlic, asparagus and perpetual spinach can also be grown through winter.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- From Roger at 11/30/13 8:21 AM
- I live in Long Island, NY. What vegetables/berries can I grow during fall and winter in my climate zone?
- It is past the ideal time for planting overwinter crops, but there are a number of crops that will survive the LI winter and produce edinle greens. Kale is probably the easiest, and will guarantee greens during winter. The other members of the Brassica family are also cold tolerant, such as Cabbage, Purple Sproting Broccoli, Brussel Sprouts and some varieties of Cauliflower, Winter Marvel Butterhead is a hardy winter lettuce. Frisee is very cold hardy. Swiss chard will give your garden some color as well as crispy leaves for the salad. Your local extension office will have more specific suggestions for you regarding the best varieties for your area.

From the moment she put them on she thought they were great. and says it is like walking on air. after about 100 miles walk since never a sore foot or redening. the only down side is the bulid in that they have started to come apart on one of the seams (see picture). This is a shame as tehy are only 4 months old. Wife still rates them as 5 star as the best shoe she has ever worn.

· San-Ho-Zay tease in Guy Forget
Average Song Gap: 13.12
Performers: Trey Anastasio, Page McConnell, Jon Fishman, Mike Gordon
Notes: Trey introduced the band during Llama (including Fish as 'Bob Weaver') before encouraging the audience to clap along with him. He slapped himself on the forehead and encouraged fans to slap the foreheads of the person next to them, but few did. Piper was unfinished and morphed into the debut of Guy Forget, which contained a "will the good lord save or will I dance on grave" quote and a San-Ho-Zay tease from Trey. Guy Forget had been previously performed in soundchecks. Piper and Camel Walk from this gig are included as filler on the Live in Vegas DVD.

This show was part of the "2000 Fall Tour."
The slapping the person next to you remark was great cause so many people were so hurting from Vegas the 2 nights before. There was a girl sleeping in her seat the whole show. Yes slap the person next you!!!
I really enjoy the Vultures, Josie Wales and Billy Breathes trio, and the Runaway Jim to end the first set is pretty fiery.
Piper and the jam of Guy Forget is the highlight of the second set to be sure. Fish's patient drumming in the jam holds it together, as mentioned above. Camel Walk is always nice, and Waste seems pretty appropriate here, with just four shows left til Phish called it quits. For a while, anyways.
Good stuff, check it out.

Themed AV
Feb 9, 2012 12:29 PM, By Cynthia Wisehart
How the role of pro AV in location-based entertainment is changing.
Crane Dance at Resorts World Sentosa (Show Spectacular)
The two cranes that rise offshore every night are the largest animatronic creatures in the world; each hydraulically powered crane weighs 80 tons and towers 50ft. over the bay. Through the use of sophisticated computer and motion controls, similar to those used on Japanese bullet trains, the cranes are able to move in six axes, their movement patterned after the mating rituals of real cranes.
Renowned, Emmy-award-winning designer Jeremy Railton of Entertainment Design Corporation had a very clear vision for this remarkable illusion, says Electrosonic's Steve Coe, who specified the AV as part of the initial technical design team that also included McLaren Engineering and Mark Thomas of On Track Themes.
"Jeremy was very specific about what he wanted—the movement he wanted was very traditional, very iconic to the people of that region and it needed to be right," Coe says. "He wanted the music and audio system to have that left/right directionality, to have one crane talk to another." Coe says that as the design team began to understand the scale of what Railton envisioned, it was both exciting and a little improbable. Coe's AV design called for LED screens—originally two each for the cranes' bodies—driven by media servers for layered content and an onshore audio and show control system, as well as intercom and local controllers on the cranes' island home.
"McLaren Engineering had the hardest job, working out issues with the weight of it, the wind load—you're essentially putting up a big sail," Coe says. "They had to figure out structurally how to incorporate the AV, lighting, and fountains for something that goes from being completely flat and essentially invisible to being 50ft. tall. Even the salt water had to be considered because that environment is very hard on everything."
As the original technical design team turned over their work some three years ago, and the project moved on, it was natural to wonder if Railton's extraordinary idea would really get built—technical designers often see projects reduce in scope when reality sets in. "It was going to take tens of millions of dollars to complete," Coe recalls, saying that from what he's seen the attraction stayed very close to the original ambitious design. "It's awesome that they really built it."
The House of Dancing Water at City of Dreams, Macau
The combination of Franco Dragone (Cirque du Soleil) and cutting-edge technology bring to life a classic Chinese tale of love triumphant over evil with the assistance of 80 performers and 120 support staff. House of Dancing Water is a live show on steroids: Spectacular scenes and storms, audiovisuals and special effects are set against the backdrop of dramatically innovative water-based staging. As they take their seats, the 2,000 guests are unaware they are suspended on cantilevered seating over the largest commercial swimming pool in the world—3.7 million gallons and five times larger than an Olympic pool. During the show, eight principal lifts and three secondary lifts convert the performance area from a 26ft. deep pool to a solid-floor, dry stage in less than 60 seconds. Overhead, 40 winches and an assortment of other flying gear enables acrobatic aerial displays.
Star Tours - The Adventures Continue at Disneyland and Disney's Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World
This nomination recognizes the complete reimagining of Star Tours, the first simulator experience installed in a themed environment. The original attraction had been in operation since 1987; new technologies were available that could enhance the experience. The challenge was to remain true to Star Wars while making use of new technical tools and guest interactive capabilities.
The refreshed attraction has succeeded both operationally and with the extremely loyal Star Wars fan base. For the guests, the most compelling feature is the variable content that affords multiple storylines, locations, and characters. This element of surprise is driving multi-generational audiences to return again and again to get a shot at exploring different vistas into many realms of the Star Wars Galaxy.
Arthur, L'Aventure 4D at Futuroscope
This year Futuroscope celebrates its 25th anniversary and its growth as one of the most popular themed destinations in Europe. Rising out of the vast flat French countryside in Chasseneuil du Poitou, near Potiers, Futuroscope boasts a large, eccentric collection of large-format cinema attractions including the exotic IMAX Solido 3D dome, the IMAX Magic Carpet (in which the screen is in front of you and under your feet), and an array of other film and digital attractions.
The Thea Award honors Futuroscope's Arthur, L'Aventure 4D, created by cinema director Luc Besson (The Fifth Element, Taken). The stunning sets cover all surfaces of the queue area—walls, floors, and ceilings, creating an organic, underground world of soil, tunnels, roots, and creatures. Inside, a 4D animated sensory experience aboard a 25-seat, insect-shaped motion base vehicle, mimics the flight of a ladybug through the tiny world of the mythical Minimoys. The 9,700ft. IMAX 3D dome, combined with the tactile effects, create among other things the feeling of flying through the threads of a cobweb, being brushed by a frog's wet tongue, or colliding with an angry bee.

Beautiful Christmas trees make the season bright
A gorgeous Christmas tree can serve as the centerpiece of a home's interior design scheme for the holidays. These days, you can choose from a dizzying array of options available, including the trees you need for a classic holiday look or something more chic with today's most popular styles and designs. Whether you're looking for a slim, simple, unlit tree or a huge, ornate, pre-lit tree, you can find the perfect Christmas tree for less at Sears.
Unlit Christmas trees are exactly what you need if you like to change the appearance of your tree from year to year. Trends in lighting are always changing, and an unlit tree allows you to explore different styles from one year to the next. You'll also easily be able to replace old strands without having to replace your tree. Of course, if simplicity is what you're looking for, make tree-trimming even easier by choosing a pre-lit tree with white or multicolored Christmas lights so you don't have to untangle strings of lights every year. From elegant, clear lights to cheerful, multicolored styles, you'll appreciate the extensive range of options that you have to choose from.
You can find a vast variety of trees in a wide range of sizes, colors and designs to suit all of your needs. Narrow your choice by the color, the number of branch tips, the height and even the diameter. Some models have crisp shapes for a picture-perfect tree, whereas others feature more rugged edges for a natural look. For homes where space is limited, slim Christmas trees are worthwhile options. These trees still feature the classic shape and design of traditional trees, but they require a lot less floor space. If you'd rather have a unique look, choose a tree in a color like blue or pink.
For a beautiful indoor winter look, choose a tree with white tips that look like snow. The branches of these flocked Christmas trees are dusted in soft, white accents that closely mirror the appearance of real snow. Add several strands of white lights or choose a pre-lit tree for extra pizzazz. Finish the tree with natural looking ornaments, like pine cones, birds, snowflakes and icicles. The end result is a winter wonderland effect that you and your family are sure to love.
When you're looking for high-quality, artificial Christmas tree, you want to find a model that matches your personal preferences. You can find a plethora of options to choose from, in terms of style, affordability and convenience At Sears, you can easily narrow down your perfect Christmas tree, so shop today.

Roadside Signs Dinner Plates:
Material: Melamine
Brand: Bob's Your Uncle
Origin: Imported
Translating classic design into beautifully modern home accessories and furnishings is the stock-in-trade of Bob's Your Uncle founder Thomas Paul. In the late 1990s, the New York City native and FIT grad worked at a silk mill — helping to create neckties for DKNY and other prestigious labels before launching his own collection of boldly patterned ties. In the early 2000s Paul added stunning printed decorative pillows to his repertoire, then followed up with bags, rugs, bedding, melamine platters and plate sets, fine art, and many other home décor essentials. Today the Thomas Paul aesthetic includes stylized flora, fauna, Chinoiserie, damask and toile prints as well as Gothic and Grecian silhouettes. A synthesis of baroque elements, post-modern minimalism, and detailed illustration reminiscent of 19th century maps and anatomy charts, Paul's designs add a whimsical touch to any room.

National Editor Tom Karst Sitting here in a Starbucks coffee shop (nonfat latte, venti) , I'm plugging in one more blog post for the week even though this is technically a vacation day.
I enjoyed visiting with various retail analysts yesterday about the failing fortunes of Fresh & Easy in the U.S. Look for expanded coverage on that topic today on The Packer's news page.
While some may see Tesco's white flag on the Fresh & Easy experiment as a "told you so" moment to throw back at the arrogant Brits, one observer told me that he was sorry the Fresh & Easy chain didn't take hold. The U.S. could use a broader base of buyers.
"Innovation is the bleeding edge," said Don Goodwin, president of Golden Sun Marketing, Minnetrista, Minn. "They tried to be innovative and they bled profusely."
Fresh & Easy didn't exactly bowl people over. Emphasis on prepackaged produce, especially at first, didn't mesh with West Coast consumer sensibilities.
The chain never nailed demographics and site selections for their stores, either.
For example, Bruce Peterson noted that the chain's assortments appeared to be much the same but the neighborhoods they operated in were quite different. Interestingly, Peterson said the Fresh & Easy struggles in that regard reminded him of the experience of Food Lion in the 1980s.
From my coverage this week:
Despite a tremendous investment in research by Tesco to find out the U.S. shopper wanted, the Fresh & Easy stores never hit the mark, said Bill Bishop, chairman of Willard Bishop LLC, Barrington, Ill.
"From the first time I went into the stores, they were very dull and whatever their value proposition was not clear," he said. Bishop said Fresh & Easy never bridged the huge cultural gap between U.K. and U.S. retailing.
As opposed to beautiful wet rack and a stunning leaf lettuce display, prepackaged produce didn't have the "fresh" appeal implied in the Fresh & Easy image, said Ed Odron, owner of Stockton, Calif.-based Ed Odron Produce Marketing Consulting. "In California the expectations were different than people saw when they walked in the store."
TK: If Tesco is shopping the the Fresh & Easy stores, who will be in the market? Check out what our retail analysts think who might make sense for the stores when the expanded coverage is put online later today.
