About Heroes 7 and Brothers in Arms with 0 comments by sam_fisher3000 on Jan 20th, 2015
UPDATE: I made be able to put episode 7-8 into one map to shorten the download, production time and extra files. Nonetheless the last 2 maps in Part 1 will be in episode 7/8 as planned, since the 2 maps take place in the same location and the same story. As promised before, you get to play the last 2 maps/episodes of Part 1 in upgraded details! For the previous 3 maps in Part 1, I have no plan to upgrade them but I may as side project but since they are quick maps, there's not much to do with them. Besides, Part 3 is where all the fun is. :)
A prologue for Part 3 is still in the works. Stay tuned.
Part 2 may be redone in Part 4 as Part 4 is the continuation of Part 2, the story resumes. However, Part 2 is as good as it gets, there's not much to change, other than better voice files. The main focus is on 2-3 episodes. Yes, Part 4 won't have many episodes, just 2-3 or 2-3 maps only. 2 are about the history of story and the 3rd is the main storyline in continuation. Episode 1 is really short, so the map isn't that big. I'll try to fit it together with episode 2 to have only 2 maps in Part 4. Though, I may be able to keep all 3 maps into one. Part 4 will consist of 2 endings. Decisions, decisions.....
Part 5 will consist of 1 map to end the whole story with 2 endings, depending on what you did in Part 4. Though, you would be able to make 2 subtle decisions that leads to either ending. There may also be an epilogue....in a strange place....after what happened to the main character....
Video and screenshots Uploaded
This is trailer 3 for Heroes 7 Part 3 "Fall of Man" Episode 6 "Highway to Hell" and Episode 7 "Serpent's Lair". This shows the progress so far and the features to be included.
The airstrike is still in there but removed currently to fit the scene. It will still be available when the map is completed. This also shows the aircraft carrier, on deck and interior.
I also have MW3 Delta Forces but had to remove them for testing the map. There's some issues with the models, so I had to remove them for now.
I had a bridge extension beside the dam, but removed because the map wouldn't compile properly but I may be able to add it back.
Other features will be included on final release.
Episode 7 takes place on the opposite side of the dam.

Arma 3 Notes
The two maps are also featured in Arma 3 so far. An update to the Arma 3 island has been updated on Sunday so feel free to check it out. Link here: Steamcommunity.com
You can also check out the test map and the harbordam mission on stock Arma 3 map.
Test map: Steamcommunity.com
It's a good generated island. No image atm.
Harbordam/Episode 6/7 map: Steamcommunity.com
Mod File: 1drv.ms (I may be able to upload it somewhere else.
Story elements or teaser will be revealed in episode 6 and part 4. Be prepared to make decisions and see the outcome/endings. This is probably the best feature for the game. :) There's 3 endings or so.
I have decided to go back and map COD4 maps again! I'll be making mods for both COD4 and Arma. I have decided to finish COD4. I'll do the best I can to make the maps work. For Arma, it has good support and potential, so I'll be using making maps/missions for it. I also have my novel story that I can turn into missions in Arma. It's meant for it. Since I own the game, I need to get a whole game's worth out of it. This is the biggest task for me to accomplish but it's fun and worth it.
And I'll be doing the same mod for Arma, so if you have subscribed to Arma and play Arma, look out for it. I'll also be doing my own personal novel transition to gaming but since this is not the major thing that I'm doing (and it takes time, since it follows my story which is still in the works), it won't be available right away. More like a personal hobby that will last some time.
As for my own game, which I have started and did some work in Unity3D and tested, I'll have to put it on hold. Until I get the resources and people, I'll work on it. Again, this is a long term process as well.
So stay tuned!

I liked this game when it first came out, but it eventually spawned 99.9% of the morons who made MW2 their own personal middleschool religion. And strangley I found MW2 To play a lot smoother than this, MW2 drew it's weapon damage and such off World at War, sometimes in COD4 I Couldnt even tell when I hit someone. Also stop fucking hating on Russians. I was happy to see DC Burning in MW2, But oh no Captain America and Nigel the Chav save the day in the end. Call of Duty 4 spawned a generation that's…

The single-player is generic action movie crap, relying on explosions to keep the audience entertained. I found the gameplay very uninteresting and completely lacking in innovation, and the plot is barely existent; it's just some barely intelligible, hardly explained gibberish. The multiplayer is very unbalanced. It's got a heavy layer of RPG mechanics and item unlocks that tries to distract you from the fact that the actual gameplay isn't fun to play; "maybe it'll be fun once I unlock the next…

Majority of UN member countries call on Israel to abide by resolutions on the occupied Syrian Golan
November 25, 2009 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Mazen Eyon
New York, (SANA)-The majority of the United Nations member countries called on Israel to abide by resolutions related to the occupied Syrian Golan, particularly the UN Security Council resolution 497 which considers the Israeli decision to impose its laws and procedures on Golan as null and void.
The fourth Committee of the UN General Assembly (The Special Political and Decolonization Committee) adopted Thursday a draft resolution entitled 'the occupied Syrian Golan' with 165 countries voting for the resolution. Only Israel voted against the draft resolution and the US abstained.
The resolution called on Israel to cancel its decision of annexing the Golan, considering the Israeli administrative and legislative procedures to change the Syrian Golan identity as null and void as well as a flagrant violation of the international law and Geneva Convention.
It also demanded Israel to stop imposing the Israeli nationality and the Israeli identity cards on the Syrians in Golan and halt the repressive measures against the Syrian citizens, condemning Israel's violations of Geneva Convention on protecting civilians.
The Committee urged the UN member countries not to recognize any of the Israeli procedures that contradict the international law.
Indo-Pak Joint Statement: Different Reactions
July 23, 2009 by TMO · Leave a Comment

NEW DELHI: Ironically, though the Indo-Pak joint statement issued last week after a meeting between Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and his Pakistani counterpart Yousaf Raza Gilani has received a favorable response in most quarters, at home, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and few others have not welcomed it. The joint statement was issued after the two prime ministers held talks on sidelines of the Non-alignment Movement (NAM) Summit in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt (July 16).
The statement described the two prime ministers' meeting as "cordial and constructive." "Both leaders agreed that terrorism is the main threat to both countries. Both leaders affirmed their resolve to fight terrorism and to cooperate with each other to this end," according to the statement. While Singh "reiterated the need to bring the perpetrators of the Mumbai attacks to justice," Gilani "assured that Pakistan will do everything in its power in this regard." "Both leaders agreed that the two countries will share real time, credible and actionable information on any future terrorist threats," it was stated. The two prime ministers "recognized that dialogue is the only way forward," and that "action on terrorism should not be linked to the composite dialogue process and these should not be bracketed." They agreed that the "real challenge is development and elimination of poverty," "to work to create an atmosphere of mutual trust and confidence" and "reaffirmed their intention to promote regional cooperation." The joint statement also said that "foreign secretaries should meet as often as necessary and report to the foreign ministers who will be meeting on sidelines of the forthcoming UN General Assembly."
Briefing the Lok Sabha (July 17) on his meeting with Gilani, Singh said: "We discussed present condition of India-Pakistan relations, its future potential and steps that are necessary to enable us to realize the potential." "It has been and remains our consistent position that starting point of any meaningful dialogue with Pakistan is a fulfillment of their commitment, in letter and spirit, not to allow their territory to be used in any manner for terrorist activities against India," Singh stated. Gilani "assured" him that "Pakistan will do everything in its power to bring perpetrators of Mumbai attacks to justice," and "there is consensus in Pakistan against activities of terrorist groups," Singh said. "As the joint statement says, action on terrorism should not be linked to composite dialogue process, and therefore cannot await other developments," Singh said. With India keen to "realize the vision of a stable and prosperous South Asia living in peace and amity," Singh said: "We are willing to go more than half way provided Pakistan creates the conditions for a meaningful dialogue. I hope that there is forward movement in the coming months."
Expressing strong opposition against delinking of terrorism from resumption of composite dialogue process, the BJP legislators staged a walkout from Lok Sabha soon after Singh had read out his statement. "You have delinked terrorism and the composite dialogue. Why have you taken seven months to decide on this?" asked BJP leader L.K. Advani. "If terrorism is set aside, then how does the dialogue become composite? It ceases to be composite as a composite dialogue has to be all-pervasive," Sushma Swaraj (BJP) said.
Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee, who served earlier as foreign minister, said: "If the opposition wants, we can have a structured discussion. There is no provision in this house to seek clarification from the prime minister on his statement."
"We will have a structured debate, but as a mark of protest I would like my party to walk out to this capitulation," Advani said and led his party colleagues out of Lok Sabha.
Outside the Parliament, BJP spokesperson Prakash Javadekar said: "This step by India has come as a shock. It is sheer betrayal and U-turn by the government. They are buckling under international pressure."
Initially, the Congress declined to comment on the joint statement. But later, the party said that there was no question of not supporting it or backing out. "There is no occasion for such a question. We are not required to endorse it after the PM's statement. His statement leaves no scope for any doubt and there was no question of not supporting it or backing out," Congress spokesperson Abhishek Singhvi said (July 20).
Welcoming the joint statement, Jammu & Kashmir (J&K) Chief Minister Omar Abdullah said in Srinagar: "The cordial meeting between the two Prime Ministers has become historical as both countries have agreed to delink terrorism from Indo-Pak dialogue." Several Kashmiri separatist leaders, however, said that Singh-Gilani meeting was "inconclusive" without participation of Kashmiris.
People's Democratic Party (PDP), the opposition in J&K, expressed "disappointment" with the statement. "We are concerned over the omission of Jammu and Kashmir from the joint declaration and ambiguity about resumption of composite dialogue. This has caused understandable disappointment among the people of the state who looked up to the summit with considerable hope," PDP leader and former chief minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed said. Reiterating United States' support for dialogue between India and Pakistan, the visiting US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said last week: "This dialogue between India and Pakistan is certainly one that could only be pursued with the agreement and commitment of the two countries and the leaders, but of course the United States is very supportive." Earlier, Robert O. Blake, US Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asia said in Washington: "India and Pakistan face common challenge and we will support continuing dialogue to find joint solutions to counter terrorism and to promote regional stability" (July 16).
Gaza from California
February 26, 2009 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Geoffrey Cook, MMNS
Berkeley–Very often the media takes up a story as "sexy," and then drops it from their "radar" when the media judges it to be no longer to be of active interest for their target audience, even though a good deal of the public are still wondering what has happened to the issue. Well, much has happened to Gaza since the Jewish blitzkrieg through Gaza ended last month, and I, as a journalist, intend to keep going back as a venomous Gila Monster in the American Southwest and Northern Mexican hangs onto his attacker with his venomous fangs to keep my reader's consciousness focused on the subject and its aftermath as they should be.
About the most momentous event since the truce (which seems near failure) since it has been broken several times by the Israeli army, are the Israeli elections and the right-wing Likud leader, Benjamin Netanyahu has been asked to forming a government. He has pledged to wipe out Gaza, and to expand Settlements on the West Bank. On the other hand, the U.N. (United Nations) has been asked by Tehran to expel Tel Aviv from the General Assembly!
Few relief supplies have been permitted through the borders by either the Muslim-dominated Egypt or the Jewish State, also, to relieve the haggard denizens of the Strip. During the middle of February a fact-finding delegation from the British Parliament were beleaguered by Israeli military thugs. The chair of the delegation was quoted "It was a bit weird to be hassled by another country when entering a [sovereign] nation." A similar event occurred when an American Congressional deputation visited post-War Gaza.
About a month and one-half ago, a program on Gaza was presented off campus in this city. My criticism of the agenda was that it lacked the (academic) rigors of the campus assembly on the following day that I reported as "Gaza under Siege" printed here not many weeks ago. I must denounce the knee-jerk radicalism of Berkeley's hoi po loi, and their Americo-centric prejudices. The two Muslim Arabs were quite perceptive plus one American who has worked extensively in the area, and I shall consider their quotes quite carefully. The others I shall gloss over.
The organizer of the event called this an "emergency" meeting. "An emergency is a situation that demands immediate action!" Americans are stuck in an illusion. "We are demanding that the slaughter in Gaza to stop," but we in the American public are only accumulating misconceptions!
I gave an account of the Palestinian-American Professor Hatem Bazian of U.C. (University of California at) Berkeley comments in my previously mentioned article. The Gaza crisis began considerably before December 28th last. The prior Truce was violated by the IDF (Israeli Defense Force) on November 4th, 2008.
Israeli and/or U.S. State Department press releases dominate the American dialogue on what was the old Mandate of Palestine. There is a new campaign for the Middle East promoted by the United States, Israel and their "franchises" (the "moderate" Arab States) to corner the region's resources. The District of Columbia is enabling a classic "divide and conquer" between the Shia and Sunnis as a mechanism to force the Arabs, Persians and Central Asian Turks to sell the West their oil at a reasonable price.
"Israel acts as an advance 'aircraft carrier' for the U.S.A.," but, at the same time, Israel may possess different objectives from North America.
Curiously, though, Tel Aviv' myth of strategic invincibility was severely damaged by their defeat over Galilee by Hezbollah (and Iran technology's) missiles in their 2004 War.
Unfortunately, the major Israeli Parties all appealed strongly to the (illegal) Settler's vote. On this side of the Atlantic, "Obama isn't going to fight against Israel or AIPAC [American Israel Public Affairs Committee]." (An AmerIndian speaker, Tony Gonzalez, called it "Obama Romanization") which has swept the young and the idealistic off their feet.
The minor local politician (former Afro-American Oakland City Councilman and the son of a past Mayor), Wilson Riles, Jr., said "We have to listen to what Hamas is saying," but he equates a Fourth World country to the problems of the U.S.! "We got to move against…structures in this community." At least, "We have to commit to Palestine…," and, further "…We must [do our] research…" of course. Further, there was a Black minister who reacted with the correct moral outrage, "I feel the pain and outrage from what has happened!" Yet it was his pain from afar and not the outrage of the victims themselves. He does talk of the accusations of "anti-Semitism" for those who defend the Palestinian people. He declared that we must not cringe from the charge: "Silence is unthinkable…" Ultimately, though he goes back to the accountability of the American government (for which they unarguably possess and hold responsibility).
Denis Bernstein a supposed "investigative reporter" for the local Pacifica radio outlet (KPFA) felt "It is time to end the savagery to these people!" Agreed, but "It [also] is time for a one State solution!" [Sic!]
Larry Everest who seemed to come from an "Old Left" perspective, and was of (anti-Zionist Jewish) heritage was, also, in favor of a one-State solution, but this would be where the Palestinians would dominate in a way similar to M.K. Gandhi's envisioning on the "Jewish Problem" published in a seventy-year old issue of his Harijan, and republished on these pages quite some time ago, "Israel is a Settler Colonial State…a garrison State for [U.S.] Imperialism!" I think this is an over simplification of agency, and absolves Tel Aviv in its lack of morality where the U.S. is more than the enabler par excellence that makes it possible for the hand of the doer to enact the deed. The truth is that the "evil" can be stopped in either in D.C. or in Judah itself. Bazian pointed out previously above in this piece that the policies of the two oppressor allies do diverge.
Much of the rhetoric that night was polemic, and was direct more against the American State than the Modern Israeli nation who decided to devour Gaza for their objectives of a greater Israel. Our guilt lies in giving them the weapons et al., and that has to stop!
Paul Larudee, whose project to relieve the Gazans by sea was written up by me twice in these pages, stated that "Palestine is made to suffer because they are not Jews."
He notes how the State of Israel has expanded the definition of Jewishness to allow more potential Settlers within as citizens; therefore, he sarcastically, avers "Why not make the Palestinians Jews!" I am not sure of the taste of his suggestion, but Palestine is, also, a geographical "neighborhood," and all who live within should be considered Palestinian (again, back to the "Mahatma's" 1938 essay), and that would include the Jews as in the pre-Partition Ottoman Province.
He believes racism is the core of the problem. I would argue that it is not racism since they belong to the same race, but Sectarianism.
Hisham Ahmed is a blind Palestinian-American Professor at a small (San Francisco) Bay Area Roman Catholic College who was raised in a refugee camp located near Jerusalem.
"Israel had unleashed a savage attack upon Gaza… [and the Gazans] had to stand up! Before the onslaught a Cabinet Minister from the Knesset remarked "…We have to start a holocaust on Gaza!" This is a "…act of sadism!" As my readers know, and Ahmed re-emphasizes, Gaza has been under a total blockade for years. Although Dr. Hisham is a critic of Hamas, he attests that they had upheld their part of the prior treaty. The West bank is hell, too. They wish to "…destroy our will to resist," but their PR (Public Relations; i.e., propaganda) has failed! "…Israel is ugly…Egypt is sitting on a volcano…" which can only lead to lead to international instability! Before proceeding to sanctions, he suggests a legal campaign from granting visa to Israeli officials from entering the United States. "The fall of Palestine is real," but independence is near!
Laudree, Baziam and Ahmed were excellent, and the evening was well worth while, but many of the other speakers lacked a deep understanding of the dire Palestinian predicament. As Americans on the extreme Left, Palestine was a cause célèbre for them to help produce paradigm shift of power within the United States. Anyone who is aware of the history of Colonialism in the Nineteenth Century is well familiar that a few of the radical movements within the Metropolis (the Imperial homeland) were ultimately unsupportive of the Colonials themselves for fear of damaging their domestic privileges. Few of our mainstream American speakers understood Middle Eastern realities!
Mumbai-Terror Strikes Dominate India's Diplomatic Parleys
December 24, 2008 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Nilofar Suhrawardy, MMNS India Correspondent
NEW DELHI: Diplomatic impact of Mumbai terror strikes has not been confined to the West, particularly the United States. The last week was marked by the issue being discussed between India and visiting dignitaries from countries closer, geographically than the US. The Mumbai-issue dominated the press conference addressed by Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Mohammad Mehdi Akhoundzadeh before concluding his India visit (December 19). During his visit, Akhoundzadeh held discussions with Indian Foreign Minister Pranab Mukherjee and Foreign Secretary Shivshankar Menon. India and Iran discussed tragic Mumbai incident, deteriorating situation in Afghanistan and Iraq," Akhoundzadeh said at the press conference.
The two sides also discussed Iran-Pakistan-India (IPI) gas pipeline project as Mumbai-attacks have raised India's concern about its security. "We have expressed readiness on part of our country to take forward the project, the sooner the better," Akhoundzadeh said. "We are expecting a response from India and Pakistan," he added. On whether Mumbai-case has had any negative impact on it, Akhoundzadeh said: "This century is a century of Asia, with Asian capacities flourishing. The growing need for Asia is to meet increasing demand for gas." "We feel that there are attempts from foreign powers, who do not welcome this project, to torpedo it. We feel leadership in Asia should be vigilant to look into their future demands," he said. Referring to Mumbai case, he said that terrorism "should not deter the will and determination" of Asian countries to move ahead with project.
On Iran's stand regarding Pakistan-based terrorists being responsible for Mumbai-case, Akhoundzadeh said: "It does not matter from which place they are. They should be dealt with iron hand." "Terrorists have no religion, no patriotic value. India and Pakistan have proved in past few years that they have maturity to deal with terrorist cases. We should be coolheaded. Whoever is behind it (Mumbai-case), the leadership of both countries should not fall victims to designs of terrorists," Akhoundzadeh said. He pointed to leaders in both countries having fallen victims to terrorists, including Mahatma Gandhi, Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi and Benazir Bhutto.
"No genuine Islamic individual would dare to endorse terrorism," Akhoundzadeh said when asked on Islamic States' stand on terrorism.
To a question on whether Indo-Pak dispute on Kashmir was root cause of terrorism in the region, Akhoundzadeh said that "growing sense of insecurity" in Afghanistan could be linked with it. With those (United States) who had "promised stability and development" to Afghanistan having failed, the State "could be the breeding ground for more terrorism," he said.
The brief visit of Oman's Foreign Minister Yusuf Bin Alawai Bin Abdullah was the first from a Gulf country since the Mumbai attack. During his meeting with Mukherjee, Abdullah "expressed deep condolences at the loss of life in the Mumbai terror attacks and solidarity with the people of India" (December 16). Abdullah noted: "There can be no excuse for not dismantling the infrastructure of terrorism across the Indian border." Abdullah's visit followed the landmark visit of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to Oman last month. Mukherjee expressed appreciation on the telephonic call made by Abdullah soon after the Mumbai attack. He also apprised Abdullah of the results of ongoing investigations, which clearly point to "complicity of elements in Pakistan."
During the two-day meeting of India-Russia Joint Working Group on Combating International terrorism, the Russian side "strongly condemned" the terrorist attacks in Mumbai and "reiterated their solidarity to the government and people of India." "Both sides underlined their shared concerns on the growing threat of cross-border terrorism and reaffirmed their commitment for strengthening bilateral cooperation against terrorism," according to a joint statement released on the two-day meeting (December 17).
Vivek Katju, Special Secretary in External Affairs Ministry led the Indian side, while the Russian delegation was led by Anatoly Safonov, Special Representative of the President of the Russian Federation for International Cooperation in the Fight against Terrorism and Transnational Crime.
During the talks held in "an atmosphere of mutual understanding and trust," India and Russia described their "cooperation in combating terrorism" as an important part of their "strategic partnership." Giving stress to importance of "international efforts to prevent and fight terrorism" including the United Nations' Global Counter Terrorism Strategy and relevant UN Security Council Resolutions, they "underlined the need for expeditious conclusion of negotiations leading to finalization of India sponsored Comprehensive Convention on International Terrorism (CCIT) at the UN General Assembly."
India and Russia pointed out to "curbing financing of terrorism" as a "key component of counter terrorism strategy." They also expressed concern at spread of narcotics in the region, which "directly threatens the security of both countries." "They agreed on the need to further consolidate bilateral efforts for sharing information and expanding cooperation against drug-trafficking." They noted the "growing threat of use of cyber-space by terrorists in their activities and the need to cooperate in this field," according to the joint statement. They also agreed to "expand the exchange of information, experience and cooperation in the means of countering terrorism."
The Mumbai-case was also raised during talks between Albania's Foreign Minister Lulzim Basha and his Indian counterpart Mukherjee (December 19). Basha was the first foreign minister from Albania to visit India (December 17-20). Albania, Basha conveyed, fully shared India's sense of outrage at the Mumbai attacks and considered terrorism as a common challenge for the international community.

Green Right Now
They've been around for hundreds of years, but when you think of a metal roof, energy efficiency and attractive, colorful design may not be the first thing that comes to mind.
Forget about the tin roof on Grandpa's farmhouse. In recent decades, the industry has evolved to the point that metal roofs make up about 10 percent of the residential market share – compared to less than 2 percent in the 1990s.
It is the fastest growing roof product in the residential market, according to Scott Kriner of the Metal Construction Association.
Today metal roofs can be formed to look like shingles, or wood shakes, or even slate and terra cotta tiles. They come in a variety of colors, with infrared-reflective pigments, coatings and textures that offer a rainbow of looks while increasing the roof's ability to reflect solar heat.
Homeowners have reported saving an average 25 percent on cooling bills with a metal roof, as opposed to asphalt shingles, Kriner said. The savings amount can be higher in hotter parts of the country. The EPA's Energy Star program says that cool-metal roofs can reduce peak cooling demand by 10 to 15 percent.
The Energy Star program has guidelines for the types of roofing materials that provide enough energy savings and heat reduction to get their seal of approval. They answer questions about those roofs, and point out that metal roofs and roof-coating products will be more likely to have the Energy Star stamp.
Energy Star says about $40 billion is spent every year in the U.S. to air-condition buildings – which is one-sixth of all electricity generated in a year. In addition to lowered cooling bills, the EPA program's website points out that a reflective roof may allow a homeowner to buy a smaller and less expensive air-conditioning system. All of that energy savings means fewer fossil fuels are burned.
Another energy-saving aspect of cool metal roofing is created when roofers leave a narrow bit of air space between the roofing panel and roof deck, said Jim Bush, chairman of the roofing council of the Metal Construction Association.
"That space creates a natural airflow which further aids in keeping a home cool, reducing energy needs in the summer months and increasing insulation in the winter," Bush said. That added dimension to a metal roof makes the roof more energy efficient for northern climates as well as the warmer South.
A study of homes in Florida (conducted by Florida's Solar Energy Center, and both Lawrence Berkeley and Oak Ridge national laboratories) compared energy efficiency of six identical houses, side-by-side each with different roof materials. White metal reflected 66 to 77 percent of the sun's energy. The coated, or cool-metal roof, saved 35 percent or more on cooling bills.
In addition to lowering cooling bills, these cool-metal roofs can reduce the "heat-island effect" (particularly in urban areas) that causes air temperatures to remain warmer than they should into the evening, because buildings – especially roofs — retain heat. Cool metal roofs are efficient not only at reflecting the sun's heat, but at emitting infrared rays to keep air temperatures cooler.
Beyond energy savings, metal roofers point to a laundry list of advantages:
Metal is lightweight, can be made of recycled material – and can be recycled at the end of its life.
That life, however, is very long. "Typically, most metal roofs carry a 50-year warranty on residences," said Bush, who is also vice president of sales at ATAS, a large metal roofing and wall systems manufacturer. "We always tell people that this is the last roof they're ever going to put on their home" especially those homeowners in their late 40s and 50s who have settled into what they hope will be their final home.
Today's metal roofs don't corrode, and can withstand hailstorms without a dent, or hurricane force winds. The newer solid sheathing can dampen the noise of pelting rain. Also, metal roofs are good in wildfire-prone parts of the country, because they won't burn.
All of those advantages mean metal roofs are generally more expensive then their competitors, but, industry insiders point out, their longevity easily makes up the price difference.
And there are federal tax credits (as well as potential state or city rebates) for installing an energy efficient roof – be it metal or not. According to Kriner, the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (along with more recent bills) offer a homeowner a 30 percent tax credit, up to $1,500, for installing a pre-painted cool metal roof with an Energy Star label.
You can learn about some case studies of metal roofs from the Metal Initiative Web site, said Greg Crawford, the executive director of the Cool Metal Roofing Coalition. And, he adds, the Cool Roof Rating Council has information on other state, city or utility district rebates.
For the uninitiated, the most striking difference in today's metal roofs is the look. With different shapes and colors, they're difficult to tell from other roofing materials. The infrared reflective pigments in the paints mean that even dark colors can reflect almost as much as light colors, Crawford said.
"I can be walking down the street and I can tell people, 'That's a metal roof,' and they would never have known it," Bush said.
For more information on metal roof sustainability and energy efficiency, the Cool Metal Roofing organization has a detailed brochure.

"I just realized that I've always been in such a hurry to make this cake that I forgot to review it! LOL!!! This is the classic pineapple upside down cake, full of yumminess. I add a teaspoon of vanilla for depth of flavor, and this time I used 1/2c homemade kefir & 1/4c pineapple juice instead of milk, and 1/2 teaspoon baking soda inste..."
"My husband loves this as-is, while I'd like to add a bit of dill. Either way, very nice!"
"I grew up making eggnog a glass at a time, as desired, using a raw egg. As a result, I can never remember how to make cooked eggnog! LOL!!! This recipe is just right with 3/4 cup sugar, though I don't think it needs the cinnamon. Thanks!"
"Very good! I chose this recipe because it has more lemon juice than most, without increasing the flour significantly and with less sugar, to boot! I like my lemony things to be LEMONY and this is, without being TOO tart. Hubby likes it, too, so it's a keeper. Thank you!"
"This is the simplest chocolate fudge sauce in existence, and the healthiest! I'll be making this again and again. It may be that it became fudgy rather than saucy because I reduced it to 1/4 recipe (kids are grown, hubby gets migraines from chocolate) and even 4 minutes was too long to boil, but YUM!!! Just what I wanted! ... Oh, yeah--add a to..."
"I played free & loose with your recipe, and it came out wonderfully! I used poached salmon instead of cheese in the souffle portion, and added sauteed onions & bell pepper. I'm sure that it's marvelous as written, too!"
"Perfect proportions! I used 1/2 jar of beef and 2 chopped eggs ... yum!"

THE FINE PRINT ABOUT BEING SATISFIEDWe want you to be pleased with our service and products. If something is not right, tell us and we'll try to fix it. We've been in business for over 44 years. We're not interested in tricking you, selling you bad stuff, or taking advantage of you. We try to treat all of our customers the way we like to be treated ourselves. We are here to help. Just examine the contents of your order when you get it and let us know if you want to return or exchange something. You have 30 days from the invoice date to return it. See our return policies here. THE FINE PRINT ABOUT PRICESAs you can see, we do our best to keep prices low. First, we discount from retail list price and then we add further discounts as the quantities in your order increase. These are our prices for everyone - big company, small company, teacher, indie artist, occasional crafter - this is it. No secret agenda, no magic words which cause other pricelists to pop up. The prices which we have to pay to our suppliers can change without notice, and therefore our prices also sometimes have to change without notice. Not that often, and not by that much, but when we pay more, we have to charge more. If a cost goes down, we charge less. Our paper catalog gets out of date. We do our very best to keep the website prices accurate and up to date, but sometimes we make mistakes. Occasionally an item may be priced on the website incorrectly high or incorrectly low, but it will be corrected when we download and review your order. It doesn't happen that often and you can always choose to return an item if there is any issue about a price inconsistency. Thanks for your understanding. We're not trying to trick anyone! THE FINE PRINT ABOUT SPEED (OR, "HURRY, I'M DESPERATE!")Our goal is to ship all orders that arrive before noon the same day, and those which arrive after noon, the next business day. Usually, that's exactly what we do. Sometimes we can't make it, because stuff happens. Maybe one day we get swamped with orders beyond our wildest dreams, or several people get sick on the same day, or equipment breaks down, or more often, everything all at once. Whatever. In those cases there might be an extra day, maybe even two before we ship. If you are on a deadline where a day or two matters, explain your time concerns very clearly when you call and we'll do our best to help. We offer every shipping service, from "Snail Mail" to Overnight A.M. to help you meet your deadlines. THE FINE PRINT ABOUT MINIMUMS, UPCHARGES & HIDDEN CHARGESThere are none. THE FINE PRINT ABOUT ADDING ON TO YOUR ORDER LATERIt's really a problem for us! We'd have to search through hundreds of orders looking for yours. To ship orders the same day, we have to move fast! Maybe it has already been picked, or packed, or even finished and loaded on the UPS truck or whatever. It causes mistakes. We hate it. We'll do it for you if the order has not yet dissappeared into the recessess of our large warehouse (you would have to get to us FAST), but it may cause a delay in shipping your order. Once it is back there, we are sorry, but we will not be able to find, retrieve and change it, because it literally becomes the "needle in the haystack". THE FINE PRINT ABOUT BACKORDERSWe might start processing your order and find that the computerized inventory was off. Rare, but it can happen. We'll hold the order if the item seems really important relative to whatever else you are getting and email or call you to ask what you want us to do. If it's just an item or 2, we will go ahead and ship it without it, unless you have specifically given us instructions otherwise. Shipping would be adjusted to reflect the new weight, and when the item comes back in stock, we will send you an email so you can order it if you still want it, and whatever discount you originally had on the item will still apply. We DO have to charge shipping on the backorder, whatever the shipping company charges us. If you want an out of stock item shipped as soon as it comes in, you can place a new separate order for it, and that is what we will do. THE FINE PRINT ABOUT MONEYWe can't extend credit. Payment is by Credit/Debit Card (Mastercard, Visa, American Express, Discover), Paypal (including Paypal's Bill Me Later), Check/Money order mailed in with your written, typed or printed order. (You can place an order on the website, get shipping options and costs, and use the "Hold and Print" option instead of the "send" option, print the order and mail it in with the exact amount you owe), or by Wire Transfer on larger orders. THE FINE PRINT ABOUT LIABILITYLike most companies, we have to limit our liability to a replacement or refund for a defective item so it's best to test the suitability of a product before using it extensively or buying large quantities! We just can't take financial responsibility for time or other materials. We make no guarantees about how products will work in your situation. Test or take your chances! THE FINE PRINT ABOUT GUARANTEES THAT CLOTHING WILL DYE EVENLYWe cannot guarantee that all parts of a garment will dye that same color. We just can't. We don't control the manufacturers and factories, and only ome or two guarantee dyeability anyway. It's rarely a problem, but it does happen. Having said that, we do pay attention and always test dye clothing lines before we start selling them. Also, if an item says it is sewn with cotton or silk thread, it should normally dye the same as the garment or accessory. But sewing folks are humans too, and sometimes, rarely but sometimes, they will accidently grab a spool of polyester thread to thread their machine with. It happens. We are not the only company they sew for. When this happens, the thread will not dye, it will stay white. If this won't work for you, the best we can do is replace the item or give you a discount on it. Fortunately this is not a common problem, but be aware that it can happen.

This school is on the edge of a slum in Accra. A slum that is home to 75,000 people. All of whom that we saw waved, high fived us, and wanted to show us their homes. The school has 250 pupils ranging from 2 to 16 and was started 10 years ago.

Should I hang drapes starting from the top of the transom or from below?
I dont need them for privacy, just want to add some texture to the room. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I would go over the top window. |
above! |
- Posted by maggie3_2006 (My Page) on Fri, Jan 27, 12 at 17:33
caminnc..... Did you mean the transom?? |
Yes, sorry! |
That upper window is very cool, I say leave it alone. |
- Posted by ratherbesewing (My Page) on Sat, Jan 28, 12 at 6:52
Hanging above the transom makes the window appear taller and to me, that is always the goal. I would also apply trim molding to the window and transom. |
- Posted by maggie3_2006 (My Page) on Sat, Jan 28, 12 at 9:59
lol, looking at my own pic made realize its not just the window that bugs me, its the whole front area. We just bought this house (it was a forclosure) and this is the only area that I'm stumped on, so I'm gonna take another pic., repost, then address a few problem areas .... stay tuned |
Your requirement is to make your room stylish and according to my opinion over the top will be great for your room. Best of luck for your decoration.. |
Definitely above the transom. |
- Posted by bronwynsmom (My Page) on Tue, Jun 12, 12 at 10:31
How far up does the wall go? And how attached are you to the vertical blinds? I don't think they do anything good for those nice, deep-set window openings. |

Henry Lamb – World Net Daily, September 30, 2011
Local governments have two fundamental responsibilities: 1) protect the rights of the citizens; and 2) provide the services the citizens authorize. To meet these responsibilities, local elected officials must look to the future and anticipate what services their citizens may want, and construct plans to meet those needs. This kind of planning will be referred to as Planning 101.
Since 1992, with the emergence of Agenda 21, the entire concept of planning has undergone a major transformation. This new kind of planning will be referred to as Planning 102. Planning 102 is not concerned about protecting the rights of citizens. Planning 102 is not concerned with what services the citizens of a community might want in the future. Planning 102 is the art of transforming existing communities into the utopian communities envisioned in Agenda 21, and shoe-horning local citizens into them.
This process began in 1993 with President Clinton's executive order that created the President's Council on Sustainable Development, which focused primarily on transforming urban centers into "sustainable communities." The process continues now, with President Obama's executive order that created the White House Rural Council, which focuses primarily on the 16 percent of the population who live on 80 percent of the rural landscape.
This process is being advanced by the Department of Housing and Urban Development through its $95 millionSustainable Communities Regional Planning Grant Program.To receive a HUD regional planning grant, all the counties and major cities within the region must sign a Memorandum of Agreement to implement the grant according to the dictates of HUD. It is no accident that the MOA requires the participants "to support multijurisdictional planning efforts that integratehousing, land use, economic and workforce development, transportation, and infrastructure investments." These goals are the same goals specified inChapter 7 of the U.N. Agenda 21document adopted by the U.N. Conference on Environment and Development in 1992.
The Meramec Regional Planning Commission, which is a part of the Missouri Association of Council of Governments, wants a hefty Sustainable Communities grant from HUD. Dent County, Mo., is one of the counties that must sign a MOA in order to get this grant…..

text: | Interesting recipeNovember 5, 2008 - Kathie EvanoffAn interesting recipe graced the cover of the D-section of the Tribune Chronicle today. A seemingly plethora of exciting vegetables all tossed in one pan and stirred up with a bit of olive oil, garlic and rosemary. The added protein was a combination of sundried tomato, basil and tuna, which evidently is sold as a package. I have not seen this item in stores, but that's not to say it isn't there. I just haven't looked for it. I grab my favorite tuna from the shelf usually in a rush and don't often take the time to look around at other things. It is certainly an interesting combination and I wonder if it couldn't be duplicated by simply adding sun dried tomatoes and basil (two complimentary flavors) to the mix. I noticed the directions stated not to drain the tuna, and not having seen it, I don't know if it is packed in oil or water. The recipe also calls for the addition of ¼ cup olive oil, which may sound like a lot, but when broken down into four servings only leaves ½ ounce per person. That is the equivalent of a scant three teaspoons of healthy oils. The vegetables in the recipe are red potatoes (which is excellent with rosemary), red onion, green beans, red bell pepper, yellow squash and sliced zucchini. That's a lot of colorful, healthy vegetables. This dish is very simple to make all in one pan. Once you make it, you can begin to create many more one-pan skillet recipes. One of my favorite's, which I've mentioned here before, is a mixture of stir fried fresh vegetables of choice in olive oil and lots of handfuls of fresh, chopped kale mixed with whole-wheat pasta. The secret is to saute a few anchovies for an entirely different, and wonderful, flavor. You can leave out anything or add other things. I once made a rice stir fry with vegetables and rice and added pineapple tidbits and peanuts. These one-skillet meals are a great way to toss together a bunch of healthy items and get a great meal in only a few minutes time. If you know you will be pressed for time, cook the pasta or rice the night before and refrigerate it. I often make a pot of brown rice on the weekend and use it all week long. In fact, that's exactly what I did this week particularly to add to the organic tomato bisque soup I've had the past two days for lunch. What a great way to get in lots of fiber and whole grains. This morning I started my day with a bowl of Kashi Heart to Heart cereal, half of a banana and skim milk. By lunch time, I was ready for the soup, which I enjoyed with thin slices of French baguette bread and an ounce of goat cheese. I was ready for a snack at mid-morning, but I came prepared with a cup of plain yogurt and blueberries that I had bought locally and froze in mid-summer. It was well worth it as I will have blueberries all winter in my freezer for all of my yogurt, cold cereal and oats. Article CommentsNo comments posted for this article. Post a Comment | Blog PhotosBreakfast: 2 ounces grains; ½ cup fruit; 1 cup milk; 30 discretionary calories. |

Guster at Variety Playhouse (1/10 – 1/11)
Okay – big news! Huge! My #1 favorite band in the entire universe, Guster, is playing at Variety Playhouse on Thursday and Friday!
Guster is almost always on tour and their live shows are sick. Their music was pretty much the soundtrack to my college experience. On top of that, they are pretty funny guys, too.
Here's a little peek at what's in store for us this week…
Anyway, I've been a huge Guster fan since high school, and I even got to hang out with them once after a show in Austin when they were signing autographs at Stubbs. They met us for drinks on 6th Street after. Highlight of my college career? You betcha. (Mich is going to kill me for digging up these.)
Not sure you know who Guster is? Please. Here's the Q+DD on only the greatest alternative rock band EVER.
Don't miss them, folks. That is a serious warning… Kevin and I want to jam out with you on Thursday! Ticket information HERE.
xx, L

Gimme Your Tots
Is there anything more delicious than tater tots?
What about tots…topped with delicious Brunswick stew and covered in melted cheese?
This monstrosity masterpiece may be a little messy to store in the side pockets of your cargo pants, but it's definitely one of the most delicious, albeit appalling things I have ever eaten.
As most of my hall of fame meals are, Fox Bros was a suggestion (commandment?) from Seth who insisted on ordering our entire meal (A request I'd never fight!) so we definitely moved on to some pretty spectacular 'que

Nude Beach is a tan, light neutral gloss with a bit of shimmer. In the tube it can look like a sandy gold, but upon application its a true nude.
I love the doe foot applicator. It provides light, precise application.
The gloss itself is great - not sticky, not too shimmery. It looks good over lipstick and lasts for several hours without reapplication.

Background to Clean Care is Safer Care
WHO Global Patient Safety Challenges have represented calls from around the world on specific patient safety issues and have been reflected in global campaigns which bring together expertise and evidence to raise awareness and to catalyze political and professional commitment on these important patient safety aspects. They also generate knowledge, recommendations and actions to improve the safety of patients receiving care globally.
The focus and objectives of Clean Care is Safer Care
The first of these Challenges, Clean Care is Safer Care, was targeted at the important aspect of reducing health care-associated infections (HCAIs). HCAI is the most frequent harmful event in health-care delivery and occurs worldwide in both developed and developing countries. Hundreds of millions of patients are affected each year, leading to significant mortality and financial losses for health systems.
The initial focus of Clean Care is Safer Care, launched in October 2005, was to promote best hand hygiene practices globally, at all levels of health care, as a first step in ensuring high standards of infection control and patient safety. Hand hygiene, a very simple action to ensure hands are free of germ, is well accepted to be the primary measure to reduce HCAI, enhancing patient safety. The vision of Clean Care is Safer Care is to make infection prevention and control a priority in health care everywhere, with clean hands as the basis, and for this reason an annual campaign to maintain a global profile; SAVE LIVES: Clean Your Hands, was launched in 2009.
Awareness raising on the burden of HCAI and the importance of hand hygiene, catalyzing political and stakeholders' commitment to reduce HCAI, developing technical guidance and recommendations and supporting actions in Member States have been the main objectives of Clean Care is Safer Care. This has included coordinating the sharing of information about activities among existing country/area hand hygiene campaigns, through an informal but well-established network called CleanHandsNet.
Key accomplishments of Clean Care is Safer Care
- More than two thirds of Ministries of Health from Member States having signed formal statements pledging their commitment to take action to reduce HCAI at the country level, in particular through hand hygiene improvement.
- WHO Guidelines on Hand Hygiene in Health Care; the first international guidelines on this topic, providing technical recommendations to health-care facilities worldwide.
- The WHO "My Five Moments for Hand Hygiene"; a user-friendly, innovative way to understand, monitor and practice hand hygiene action at the point of patient care.
- A Multimodal Improvement Strategy based on the recommendations in the Guidelines; field tested in a wide range of different health-care settings for feasibility, adaptability and success, subsequently demonstrated both in high and low-/middle-income countries.
- A package of 32 implementation tools to support the Strategy (thus far in three official WHO languages) including posters, templates, instructions.
- WHO Hand Hygiene Self-Assessment Framework, to help track progress with hand hygiene sustainability.
- WHO Moment 1 'before touching a patient' global observation survey report (2010).
- 64 scientific publications and 49 abstracts at international conferences.
- Engagement of leading infection prevention and control societies and institutions.
- Cascade training on infection control to build capacity globally and at country level and establishment of regular virtual training sessions.
- Sign-up from well over 15 000 health-care facilities in support of SAVE LIVES: Clean Your Hands; the overall approach to hand hygiene improvement provided by WHO has been extremely successful and widely adopted in health-care settings worldwide.
- A Guide to the Application of the WHO Multimodal Hand Hygiene Improvement Strategy and the "My Five Moments For Hand Hygiene" approach in Outpatient and Home-based Care and Long-term Care Facilities, accompanied by adapted tools.
- WHO Hand Hygiene Self-Assessment Framework global survey report (2012)
Moving forward
WHO Clean Care is Safer Care will continue to provide leadership and advocate to support a reduction of the global endemic burden of health care-associated infections, including:
- Promotion of activities for hand hygiene improvement and sustainability, primarily through the SAVE LIVES: Clean Your Hands campaign, moving countries from commitment to true action at the point of care.
- Coordination of WHO CleanHandsNet.
- Updating the WHO Guidelines on Hand Hygiene in Health Care and including new information on our web pages.
- Estimating the burden of endemic HCAI worldwide, in particular by evaluating the magnitude of the problem in settings with limited resources where available data are very scarce but where HCAI is much more frequent than in developed countries.
- Identifying specific new solutions to be developed and promoted in addition to hand hygiene. Special focus is being put on the prevention of specific infection types, in particular surgical site and bloodstream infections, in collaboration with other WHO programmes and global experts.
- Identification of feasible infection control strategies to be adapted for settings with limited resources.
- Supporting knowledge transfer of key infection control principles through a range of mechanisms.
- Identifying gaps in the infection control evidence and new threats, working alongside other global experts.
Team members
Professor Didier Pittet, an internationally renowned expert in the field of infection prevention and control, is the external lead of Clean Care is Safer Care. He provides leadership and technical input through the activities of the WHO Collaborating Centre on Patient Safety at the University of Geneva Hospitals, supported by a core team.
A small team is the core of Clean Care is Safer Care and exists within the WHO Patient Safety Programme at WHO headquarters in Geneva to facilitate delivery of the above plans.
In addition, a core group of international experts significantly contribute to the work of Clean Care is Safer Care, especially regarding the preparation of the WHO Guidelines on Hand Hygiene in Health Care and the development of hand hygiene tools. The Programme also works in close collaboration with leading international and national organizations in the field of infection control and infectious diseases.

What if It's Terrorists?
Lately, I've seen a number of well done articles on the wide-ranging effects of the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Lyz Best's piece in Runner's World
magazine about the ways in which the 9/11 attacks have motivated people to begin running, and/or to run farther and faster resonated with me as a runner. Cynthia Reynolds and Shannon Smith's
argument that the attacks have destroyed our children's innocence hit me as a mother.
"No longer do our children feel the safety and security that once existed in generations past. They now live with a heightened sense of anxiety and fear of the potential for another terrorist calamity. Children often become afraid that such an event will happen again, and that they or their family may be injured or killed."
I grew up under the influence of another diffused war
, or one that exists as much as an incarnation of everyday media as it does in reality. The mediated social construction of the Cold War in books and films as well as in the news arguably "both facilitate[d] and contain[ed]" the Soviets in much the same way that it does Al Qaeda today. Yet with the exception of the Soviets' arrival in Colorado in the 1984 movie Red Dawn
and images of what most regarded as a highly unlikely nuclear apocalypse, the "bad guys" stayed conveniently outside of the United States, and were clearly identifiable – by their bulky coats, Russian fur hats, and heavy accents – from our neighbors and classmates.
The differences between then and now hit me last week when my ten-year-old son, Parker, found a tiny video card on the sidewalk outside of our local Rubio's
restaurant. Of course, Parker wanted to keep it. Just before that part of me that immediately thought, "Sure…" could articulate itself, the kids were arguing. Certain that they would not get to investigate what might be on the card, Parker's older siblings yelled, "Drop it!" Parker loudly insisted on keeping it. I tried the "Take it into Rubio's in case someone comes looking for it" tack. Parker screamed louder, really fighting to hang onto this tiny bit of 21st-century technology.
"Parker, just put it down," I said, clearly exasperated.
"Why do you want it so badly? " I asked – with more parental aggravation than motherly concern, I'm afraid.
"I have to see what's on it," Parker explained.
"Who cares? It's not yours…" I said.
"What if it's terrorists?" Parker asked. "What if they left it for someone? What if they're planning an attack?"
"Whoa!" I thought, dumbstruck. (In retrospect, this reaction beats laughing out loud.)
What I said was something like, "Parker, just put it down. I don't think the card has anything to do with terrorists. Someone just dropped it."
Reluctantly, he left the card on the edge of a planter and we headed towards the car.
Perhaps the difference between the War on Terror and the Cold War boils down to relative the comfort inherent in the widely understood low probability of unintentional nuclear annihilation at the hands of leaders very far removed from everyday life. When I was ten, it never occurred to me that Soviet supporters might launch an attack in my Southern California "backyard."

Which glass thickness should I choose for my frameless shower door, 1/4" or 3/8"? What's the major advantage of 3/8" door compared to the 1/4" one? Thank you very much. |
Follow-Up Postings:
The only one I'm familiar with (wife's master bath) is 1/2". I'll probably use 3/8" for the two I'm about to do. Never heard of 1/4" being used. |
- Posted by millworkman (email@example.com) on Thu, May 2, 13 at 15:13
3/8" is fine depending upon the size of the shower and the layout. I would not recommend using 1/4" period for a frameless shower. |
Our guest bathroom has 3/8" shower glass. DH and I used that bathroom while our other two were being reno'd. Glass felt solid, not flimsy at all. |
Mine are 3/8 solid,no problems. |
Here in Canada, it's in mm not inches, so I had to get out the ruler to convert...LOL Our glass downstairs is 6mm or 1/4", but that is what they call semi-frameless, the walls are all framed, but the door itself is frameless. For our MBR reno, the doors are 10mm or 3/8", and are completely frameless. I can't imagine going any thicker, these are thick and heavy! |
- Posted by janesylvia (My Page) on Sat, May 4, 13 at 12:46
Thank you all so much for sharing your experience, which is very helpful. I'll go for the 3/8" glass. For complete frameless, it seems better to use the 3/8" one. Since it's heavy, is it better not to have a glass door too wide? How wide are your frameless shower doors? Do you have vertical gasket installed at the fixed panel or door? If not, is it a concern that water might splash out through the vertical gap? Thank you very much. |
My wife's door is about 28". The side of the fixed panel by the wall has clear silcone. There is a flexible plastic strip where the door meets the wall, and on the bottom of the door to the curb, but nothing between the door and the fixed panel. No significant amount of water gets out. |

Would you eat 3D printed meat?
Problem: 8% of the world"s water supply and one third of the world's non-ice landmass is used for raising livestock for meat and leather. At least 18% of the greenhouse gases entering the atmosphere are from the livestock industry.
Solution: Fundamentally change the way meat is produced by growing the meat directly instead of raising the entire animal.
Technology: 3D printing and tissue engineering now allow bioprinting: the design and fabrication of three-dimesional tissues. The meat created in this process could be carefully designed to have the same mouth feel, texture and flavor as traditional meat.

WDET Staff, volunteers from Patch.com and WSU's Community of Scholars came together to inventory and pack over 1,700 pieces of WDET's old logo T-shirts, sweatshirts, hats and windbreakers. The 39 boxes, valued at over $20,000, were a donation to Matrix Human Services.
With a 105 year history of success in the city of Detroit, Matrix Human Services has 23 locations and a myriad of programs serving over 3,000 people weekly. One of their mottos is: "Transition to Success. Breaking the cycle of poverty".
Here's what those involved had to say about the project:
"Typically 'Give 5' is a day of service inside our own Patch, but I suggested WDET because you all serve not only each of our communities but Detroit and the great metropolitan area. Originally, I'd figured we'd be stuffing envelopes or answering phones, either of which would have been OK by me. But being able to help you clear half a storeroom while helping Matrix Human Services was so great. I will send you a link as soon as my article goes live." Peg McNichol - Canton Patch editor - www.canton-mi.patch.com
"It was a pleasure volunteering! Thank you for allowing us to help. Since Patch is committed to its communities, all of our employees take five days per year to do charitable work in our Patch area. Each employee is able to choose its volunteer organization. It's our way of giving back to the community, and volunteerism is one of the core principles that Patch was founded on." Rebecca Jaskot - Novi Patch Editor - email@example.com
"Your contributions will go a long way, to help the many that we serve in need...We thank you for your support and look forward to future endeavors with WDET." Sonya Hedrick - Matrix Human Services
Check out photos and more at this article on Patch.com.
If you or your organization are interested in volunteering with WDET, please get in touch with our Membership Assistant and Volunteer Coordinator, Lea Thomas, at firstname.lastname@example.com
