From one angle, the national recession can bear an unsettling resemblance to original sin: a steep and sweeping fall from economic grace that touches every soul, regardless of status or profession, age or creed, and with little respect to human standards of innocence or guilt.
Of course some are suffering more than others, and in different ways. And the greater sins of a few outrage the rest. But in interviews with pastors and preachers working around the country, often in widely divergent situations, there is also the sense that everyone is touched in some profound way, even if this common bond requires a response pitched to the specific context.
The question, they say, then turns to whether the crisis may offer an opportunity for not only economic, but also spiritual and ecclesial, transformation. This opening has both individual and communal dimensions, the pastors say, that for once traverse and connect the worlds of work and worship.
But the greatest and most immediate challenge is gauging how to address anxious congregants where they are. Two examples can illustrate the differences and commonalities.
At Myers Park Presbyterian Church in Charlotte, N.C., Steve Eason's congregation successfully completed a $30 million capital campaign. But Charlotte is also the "Wall Street of the South," the second-largest banking center after New York (no other city is close) and a ground zero of sorts for the financial collapse.
Myers Park Presbyterian has taken a hit as well, in economic terms — its $5.2 million budget for 2009 would be the envy of most churches, but that figure is down from a projected $6.2 million a few months ago. Congregants are losing jobs, or moving away to find employment elsewhere, and many who remain have seen their incomes drop dramatically even as some of them — like Bank of America execs — become targets of populist anger.
Eason D'79 rejects any temptation to scapegoat: "Everyone loves to take a poke at the rich. But you've also got to step back and realize that a lot of rich people are doing a lot of good in the world."
And as he says, such comments won't hit home with his congregants, nor will simply saying that genuine contentment in life is not based on material things. That's true enough, but if you push that too hard, says Eason, "It gets Pollyanna-ish."
Instead, Myers Park Presbyterian takes a twofold approach. First, the church created practical ministries like job networks and counseling programs for those out of work or struggling with the jobs they have. Next they recognized that there are a lot of successful people in the church — "These are not people who need their hand held," as he puts it — and that they need to be challenged.
"I came at it from a leadership angle," he says. "These are leaders who are getting hit, and their number one job is to lead people out of this."
The church launched a four-part preaching series in January and February on the leadership models of Moses and Jesus, for example, calling on those who can lead "to have a servant's heart" to help others.
"Now is not the time to get cocky and brassy. We need to serve people who are hurting," Eason says. "We're still a very blessed people for all the hits we've taken."
In Catawba County to the west of Charlotte, Brad Thie D'98, pastor of Friendship United Methodist Church in Newton, sees his job as more like triage for a region where hardship is deep and wide. And prolonged.
Unemployment is above 15 percent and rising, and symptoms of the affliction can be seen in the huge spike in demand for medical and social services, as well as a rise in emergency calls.
Thie — who earned an M.B.A. before attending the Divinity School — does not avoid the recession in his sermons, but preaches on passages such as Jesus' counsel in the Sermon on the Mount ("Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?") or the laments to God of the prophet Habakkuk, who nonetheless takes solace in faith: "Though the flocks disappear from the fold and there be no herd in the stalls, Yet will I rejoice in the Lord and exult in my saving God."
"I continually find myself trying to connect [my preaching] with the economic hardships the people are feeling," Thie says. But he adds that even the best homily must be complemented by practical ministry — counseling and spending time in prayer with people.
As the number of out-of-work parishioners has increased, so has attendance at daytime Bible study group, Thie says. "It's been a pleasant surprise to see these unemployed people throwing themselves into Bible study."
Thie does what he can to help with gas or transportation, because many can't afford to drive to church more than once a week, and others have had to sell one of their cars. The church also has a fund to disburse money — anonymously — to help cover costs of medication, or help with rent or utility payments.
"We are living through the greatest opportunity in our lifetime to minister and witness," Thie says. His bottom-line message: "Not only will God take care of you, but we want to help."
Jim Huskins also tries to present that message to the people he ministers to around Goldsboro, N.C. Huskins, a 1985 graduate of the Divinity School, retired as a United Methodist pastor in 2007. Since last fall he has worked as program director at the Marion Edwards Recovery Center Initiatives (MERCI), a United Methodist disaster relief program in Goldsboro.
Disasters now, he notes, are both "natural and unnatural," as unemployment skyrockets and donations drop — to the point that the MERCI program may be closed, even as its
services are needed more than ever.
But Huskins also believes that rather than just reacting to grinding economic woes, churches and pastors need to be much better prepared to anticipate the pathologies that emerge from a recession so that ministry can head off problems.
When the anger and depression show up at the door in the person of an abused spouse or a backsliding alcoholic, Huskins says, "You're way behind the power curve."
The problem, he says, is that churches have not deployed their resources or advertised their services on economic issues and preparedness. "It's a matter of this being seen as a ministry that can be done through the church." It is, he says, akin to marriage preparation programs rather than just divorce counseling.
The fearsomeness of the recession, however, is also being viewed as something of an opportunity to create new connections among believers and churches, especially in places that are neither wholly affluent nor completely poor — places like Brighton, a Michigan suburb that lies between Detroit and Ann Arbor.
Scott Chrostek, who serves as associate pastor at the United Methodist Church there, notes that the congregation has members who would be considered upper-middle class, among them a number of auto industry executives. Yet recent months have shown that no one is safe, especially not in a state like Michigan, which is in the sixth year of a "single-state" recession that, if it were reproduced nationally, would qualify as a full-blown depression.
"We were always afraid," says Chrostek D'06. "But now it's ingrained in everybody." In the metropolitan Detroit area one in eight is unemployed, and as Chrostek notes, "that becomes very real in a church of 800 people." It also becomes very real as the automotive industry, already struggling and now the target of populist ire in other parts of the country, faces the prospect of bankruptcy.
Just talking about the economy isn't enough, or can even be too much, if done every Sunday, says Chrostek, because people grow discouraged. On the other hand, the fear of losing a job or home or worse has become so pervasive that there is a growing reluctance to speak openly.
Before Christmas last year, the preachers at all three worship services asked everyone connected in any way with the auto industry to stand. Somewhat haltingly at first, people got up until nearly 80 percent of the worshipers were standing.
"We just said, 'We want to be in prayer for all of you,' " Chrostek says. "That has done so much for our congregation. We feel connected."
"I think this issue is so terrifying to people that a few sermons are not enough," agrees Lisa Moss Degrenia D'00, pastor of Allendale United Methodist Church, a congregation that averages 190 in worship each Sunday in St. Petersburg, Fla.
But Degrenia also sees opportunities for forging bonds that can help not only individual members, but also the church's witness as a whole. In fact, before the recession really took hold, some United Methodist churches in her district — there are eight within a three-mile radius of Degrenia's church — launched a "collaborative multi-site laboratory" in which congregations of all sizes and varying degrees of sustainability come together to share resources and ministries.
The laboratory was an effort to address inevitable transformations before they became crises, and to do it without the language and process of "mergers" and "takeovers" that smack of the power dynamic of the corporate world, which is itself discredited. Degrenia says the recession has only hastened their experiment in collaboration — and that's a good thing.
In a similar vein, Steve Eason of Myers Park Presbyterian notes that since the economy cratered he and other pastors have been doing a lot more networking, sharing ideas and best practices in a new Internet community with some two dozen other Presbyterian churches across the country. "We weren't talking before, but now we are," Eason says.
Myers Park Presbyterian in Charlotte has delayed brick-and-mortar upgrades to focus on maintaining ministry and outreach programs. That doesn't make everyone happy, but, in the end, the church chose to emphasize mission over maintenance.
In Brighton, Scott Chrostek says the recession of 2009 has made people in the suburbs identify more concretely with the inner cities, because "people in the suburbs realize how close they are to that line" of true poverty.
Interestingly, he says, as times have grown tougher, the congregation has continued to push its stewardship campaign and emphasize the need to help others who are facing even greater hardships. It has paid off, as the church has raised more money in the past two years than ever before. Not only that, but at nearby Waterford Central United Methodist Church, where Chrostek's wife, Wendy D'06, is an associate, they've also had increased giving of late — even though Waterford's congregation is much more working class than Brighton's.
Another question many pastors are asking themselves is how — or whether — the recession will transform American attitudes about money and possessions and even the dog-eat-dog ethos of today's society.
Steve Eason identifies several camps within his own congregation, including those who want — and are waiting for — life to return to "normal," those who believe that this is "the new normal," and those who are driving their cars longer and finding that a relief. "Not everyone is devastated, not everyone is depressed," he says.
Stanley Hauerwas, Gilbert T. Rowe professor of theological ethics, says preaching about the economy is always a challenge because congregations are so different and each congregation usually has many people in different situations and with differing attitudes about money.
"I often say that one reason the church seems to concentrate so much on sex and lust as a sin is because we think we know what it looks like when we get it wrong. We seldom talk about greed, because how would you know if you are [greedy]?"
Since greed is so hard to recognize (even though it is a much greater concern in the New Testament than lust), Hauerwas says many people didn't even know that they were suffering its effects until the recession hit.
Even now, he says, most people seem to be praying for things to return to the affluence of the recent past, rather than trying to address fundamental issues like the growing gap between the very poor and the very rich.
For example, he says the extravagant bonuses paid to financial executives aren't new; they're just in the news, and suddenly people are focusing on that aspect of the income gap.
"It always beats the hell out of me why people don't get upset about it," Hauerwas says. "It's just obscene. The only reason I can think of is because people think, 'Oh, I've got a chance to get rich, too!' "
And that desire, Hauerwas says, is another form of lust. "Churches need to help people frame their lives in the context of what Jesus taught. We haven't been very good about that, in terms of our ability to see our greed through the light of the Gospel.
"This is not an issue of how we've been living beyond our means and aren't we terrible people. We have been living beyond our means, and it has implications for those who had to suffer from our living beyond our means. We should feel appropriately repentant for that.
"What needs to be said is, 'Look, you are possessed by your possessions. And Christianity is ongoing training in dispossession, to where you'll be free,' " he says.
As to whether this crisis, and even the best preaching, will truly transform Christians — much less the nation — Hauerwas is skeptical. Others, including Lisa Degrenia of St. Petersburg, Fla., are hopeful that churches will seize the crisis as a time for transformation.
"There is an opportunity, brought on by the economy, to break down walls, to be more Kingdom-minded," she says.
The danger before the recession was that congregations were able to stave off change by going into "survival mode," as she puts it, in which the congregation's energies are directed toward raising money to maintain the status quo.
That is often no longer possible, and today's transformation, Degrenia says, "to me is very much of God. We're seeing God take the situation and turn it for good."
Congregations are like individuals, she says: "They have to reach a certain level of dissatisfaction in order to have the motivation for change. [The economy] is helping some congregations realize that they aren't satisfied.
"Sometimes it starts from self-interest. But God can take a little crack like that and open it into something wider."

Routes of the Underground Railroad |
BACKGROUND Iowa was a little known hotbed of abolitionist and Underground Railroad activity. Because of its illegal and somewhat unpopular nature, much of the activity is now just being discovered. The risk of discovery was great and the punishment severe. How many blacks, mostly from Missouri, were aided is not known. Records were not kept, for obvious reasons. Even though Iowa was a free state, the federal fugitive law applied. If you were caught aiding a runaway, the maximum penalty was six months in jail and a $1000 fine. There are many stories along Iowas section of the Underground Railroad, which was neither a railroad nor underground. Rather, in the years before the Civil War, it was the connecting point of abolitionists people willing to risk arrest to help slaves on the run to Canada. Cedar County, especially the Quaker homes in Springdale and West Branch, was a major stop on the Underground Railroad. From Tabor near Council Bluffs to Lewis, Des Moines, Grinnell, Iowa City, West Liberty, Tipton, DeWitt and Clinton, Springdale and Davenport, anti-slavery Iowans ushered escaped slaves many being pursued by owners to freedom via Wisconsin or Minnesota routes to Canada. |

Brasilia, April 7th 2011 - The Frente Nacional de Prefeitos (FNP) invited Mayors for Peace to the Brazilian capital for their 59th General Meeting. Nearly 100 Brazilian Mayors elected the new FNP board. The new FNP Board was welcomed by President Dilma Rousseff.
Mayors for Peace had also the opportunity to discuss future co-operation with the Associação Brasileira de Municípios (ABM) and the Confederação Nacional de Municípios (CNM). The proposal to increase Mayors for Peace membership up to one thousand Brazilian Mayors before the end of 2011 has been welcomed by both the FNP and ABM.
The President of FNP, Mr. Joao Coser from the city of Vitoria, was re-elected. Mr. Eduardo Paes, Mayor of Rio de Janeiro, and Mr. Gilberto Kassab, Mayor of Sao Paulo were also re-elected as FNP's Vice-Presidents, while Ms. Luisiane Lins, Mayor of Fortaleza and Mr, Eduardo Pereira, Mayor of Varzea Paulista, were elected for FNP's International Relations. All five Mayors are members of Mayors for Peace. The FNP joined Mayors for Peace formally in April 2010. FNP represents more than 40% of the Brazilian population. During the FNP General Meeting we welcomed five new members with the Mayors of Araraquara (SP), Corrego Danta (MG), Guaruja (SP), Penapolis (SP) and Rio Claro (SP). Through increasing our presence and activities in Brazil, Mayors for Peace aims to encourage the Brazilian government to take more leadership to initiate negotiations to establish a nuclear weapon free world. Brazil is the only world power which prohibits the development of nuclear weapons through its constitution dating from 1988. The solid establishment of Mayors for Peace in Brazil was discussed during meetings with the Executive Directors Gilberto Perre (FNP) and Jose Carlos Rassier for the Associação Brasileira de Municípios (ABM). Also Ms. Ingrid Freitas (FNP) and Debora Maia (ABM), the heads of the communication departments were consulted as plans are developed to increase membership up to 1,000 Brazilian Mayors before the end of 2011. ABM signed an agreement of co-operation with Mayors for Peace in November 2010. There were also meetings with the Confederação Nacional de Municípios (CNM), the third important Brazilian Association of Local Governments. CNM is Brazil's largest association of local governments with more than 4,000 members. Next month the CNM organizes the XIV March in Brasilia in defense of the Brazilian Municipalities. Mayors for Peace is now planning to join the activities as more than 3,000 Brazilian Mayors are expected to travel to Brasilia for this event. During the FNP meeting we had the opportunity to discuss briefly future co-operation with CNM's President Mr. Paulo Ziulkoski and the Executive Director Mr. Jeconias da Silva Jr. This resulted in a meeting the next day with the Director of CNM's International Relations, Mr. Mauricio Zanin, and his assistant, Mr. Alexandre Nascimento. During all of these meetings it was high-lighted that the threat of nuclear weapons is a very distant reality for Brazilian Mayors and citizens. Brazil signed the Treaty of Tlatalolco. The 1968 Treaty declared officially Latin America and the Caribbean a Nuclear Weapons Free Zone. Brazil Mayors are unfortunately confronted with urban violence. During the meeting with Ms. Delma Sandri, FNP's International Relations Director, we were painfully reminded of this as 12 children were being brutally killed in a school in Rio de Janeiro by bullets. Urban gun violence remains one of the main security challenges for Brazilian Mayors. According to the Brazilian NGO Sou Da Paz on average 100 Brazilians are killed every single day as a result of gun violence. With special thanks to the FNP for their generous financial support for Hiroshima's Mayors for Peace representative Mr. Pol Heanna DHuyvetter and Mayors for Peace 2020 Vision Campaigner Ms. Cinthia Heanna to travel and participate in these meetings in Brasilia.

Extra insulation and/or radiant barrier, for an attic
I want to make my house cooler in summer afternoons and if possible a little warmer in the winter. I've pursued the question via a thread asking about extra attic insulation, and the idea of using a radiant barrier was brought up.
My house's axis is east-west, with the faces of the steep gable roof (metal-clad) being toward the north and toward the south. The walls are about R22 (fiberglass insulation plus thick wood siding) and about R20 in the second-floor ceiling (vermiculite between the ceiling joists in an unused attic space). The attic space is well ventilated. The house is fairly energy efficient - neighbors tell us we're using less winter heating fuel than they often are, even with smaller homes.
I'd like the house to stay cooler in mid-summer weather, and if the strategy can make the house retain heat better in winter, so much the better.
Originally, I thought I'd add another R20 (6-inch) layer of fiberglass insulation above the ceiling joists in the attic. I could do this, or I could use a radiant barrier behind the southside roof rafters. I could also use blown-in cellulose above the ceiling joists, but I'm not sure about the cost of the cellulose and particularly getting the equipment and personnel here to do the application (our land is semi-remote).
I suppose I could use both a radiant barrier as described above, plus more ceiling insulation. I haven't costed that out yet.
Seems to me a radiant barrier facing outward to repel heat back out of the south-facing roof will not have much effect to increase winter heat-holding efficiency.
I invite your thoughts about a cost-effective strategy in the case described. Thanks.
We covered our entire roof over the rafters with reflective aluminum radiant barrier. Cost us $500 for 5,000 sqft. Our house is in Virginia and no one heard of this technique to reduce cooling costs. The house is finished framing but it is truly amazing how cool the house stays with a thin radiant barrier. The framers couldn't believe it. The roofers were perplexed. It is well worth the investment. You will immediately feel the difference without adding an inch of ceiling insulation.
Note - check the warranty of your roof shingle. We went with Certainteed shingle. If our roof was NOT vented then the warranty would be invalid. Without venting the shingles would all melt - all the heat is reflected back to the shingles from the radiant barrier.
rychnc, you wrote: "We covered our entire roof over the rafters with reflective aluminum radiant barrier." I'm not sure just what you mean when you say "over the rafters" - do you mean just under the shingles, or on the opposite side of the rafters from the "top" side on which the roofing shingles are attached?
I'm glad to hear of your success with the barrier, though!
My roofing (which is metal) is already in place, and was just put up (as a replacement for cedar shingles) about one year ago. I cannot put the radiant barrier just under the roofing, but would have to put it along the opposite edges of the 2x8 rafters (in other words, to the inside of the rafters), shiny-side out in order to reflect the heat back out through the roof.
And I doubt there would be any point to putting it on the north-facing roof side. I have a gable roof, and only half of it faces the sun at all.
Let me explain what we did first. After the framers set the roof trusses they rolled out the radiant barrier on top of the trusses prior to adding the roof plywood. When they unrolled the radiant barrier over the rafters (trusses) they made sure to create a 1" air space between the plywood and the radiant barrier. This air space is necessary for improved reflection of the heat wave.
In your case since your roof is already up you will need to staple the radiant barrier on the bottom (not the top like I did) of the trusses. This is very labor intensive but will work the same. DO NOT lay the barrier flat on top of your insulation. Over time dust will settle on the aluminum and reduce the reflective properties.
Here is an excellent educational link:
Don't know it this pertains or not; but if Reflectix qualifies as a radiant barrier for this use; I'll point out that it's available with staple tabs . . . in various standard widths . . EXACTLY for stapling to joists etc. Believe I bought it through Real Goods on the web. This would make it VERY easy to staple to the underside of the rafters; allowing for air circulation to boot in a retrofit application. It's available in pretty good sized rolls too . . I used the stuff as a radiant barrier underneath my radiant in-floor heating system. I'd also make sure I have plenty of attic ventilation too; to help the reflected heat get out of the attic . . . metal roof or otherwise.
joel... two things. Radiant barriers are never placed "facing out." They must face the air space in a vented attic in order to work. I know that sounds counter-intuitive, but them's the facts.
Secondly, radiant barriers stop radiated heat gain. Doesn't have to be sun shining on the roof. Is it as hot outside of your house on both sides in the summer? It is here and it is at my brother's home in Vancouver.
What is "REFLECTIX"? Is it expensive? You say it is stapled between joists? I don't have any 'winter" problems, don't really have any "winter" to worry about in Houston.We do,however,have heat and humidity,11 months out of the year! I slashed my electric bill by blowing 38" of insulation into my attic(don't laugh) and adding two solar powered attic fans on my roof. Had ridge vents and gable vents and added continous soffitt vents on the entire west wall.My bill hasn't exceeded $207.00 in mid-summer Houston. I am always interested in MORE ways to cut costs (though I'm not really complaining). Solar fans were a tremendous help for me.
Reflect ix, is known mostly for its double bubble foil insulation. They have single sided too and some other niceties.
Sort of a double sided radiant barrier with bubble pack separating each side so there is a small air gap between the foils. Pretty darn nice stuff for radiant barrier but a bit expensive for most people.
I have used some here and there where appropriate .. makes nice 2 liter coke bottle coolers too ;) And make some of those alum foil protetive hats to keep your head warm in the winter.
Lowe's lumber here has small selection of it.
4' x 25 foot roll about $50
15"? 16" oc 25 foot staple tab rolls about $20
You can get 1000 sq ft of double sided commercial radiant barrier for under $150 ... but instead of bubble pack separating the foils it has reinforced polypropylene .
excuse misspellings.
Here is a link that might be useful: http://www.reflectixinc.com/script/products/buildingmaterials.asp
Ok I got it now..reflectix is a foil bubble foil..
is this the stuff they claim has R-14.5 per inch??
just fyi..do you know that the lesser cost radiant barriers
work just as effectively?
as it is only one side of the RB that works, as dust
builds up & reduces reflectivity (50% in 5 years)on the
foil facing the roof decking..
it is the foil surface facing in to the attic space
that reduces the heat gain.
I have been having rolls of RB (single sided foil
with kraft paper & nylon scrim) for several years.
This year I finally installed it..house is
30 degrees cooler in the summer (La. summer may - oct)
and comfort of house is greatly improved.
and hey I lost 10 lbs in the 2 days it took me to
install...win win imo!
Lowe's has a solar shield RB like the one I used
for .10 per sq ft.
oh and the state tells me..R-11 for correctly installed
RB in attic application.
OP unless the RB is installed on all attic area
you will be defeating the purpose of the install.
heat will simply enter the areas with no RB &
your efforts will be wasted.
while RB work very well in cooling climates
the benefits of heating climates are much lesser.
best of luck
Seem to recall reading there is some current revised data out there showing added value for radiant foil both sides and the cost adder is minimal for the diy'r. The thicker foils go in fast too so there is some smile creating ease once you use it compaired to the thin stuff.
Don't know for certain but think exposed foil & paper would get a fire code violation if its not enclosed behind a fire rated cover here.
We use craft backed foil on the exterior of concrete block walls behind stucco mostly. Double layer too with a flapper paper to fold out an added air gap between them.
Gang....check out Dullys house take the "tour" he has radiant Barrier in his atic .....along with a lot of other stuff.
PS it's a hoot
hello all,As Im reading here tonight deceiding and which way my one sided bubble foil insulation should go. Foil to face roof or face attic. The stuff i have is 25"x100" rolls with one side of foil then air bubbles. I was going to staple the foil side facing the roof on the 2x6s.
Next question. What does this do for moisture in the attic? do I have to add more vent? Im new to this so go eazy thanks Fespo
Pure aluminum has a desirable charaturistic in that not only does it reflect well but maybe more importantly it doesnt radiate heat well at all. So it stops heat transfer. That's why they want an air gap. Where aluminum alloy's will radiate heat.
Radiant barrier is made of near pure aluminum. Something greater than 99% frequently advertised.
Polyester mylar... well it may reflect light and capture body heat in the envelope when you wrap your body with it.
Aluminum foil is something near 22% aluminum.. the rest is ?shrug?, something else.
I believe mikie is sadly misinformed on the composition of aluminum foil. I got the following off the reynolds web site.
Why is aluminum foil sometimes called tin foil?
In 1919, the U.S. Foil Company, parent of Reynolds Metals Company was founded in Louisville, Kentucky to produce lead and tin foil. Then in 1926, the company entered the aluminum business, rolling aluminum foil for packaging. Today, Reynolds Wrap is made from 8111 alloy aluminum, at the thickest gauge specifications available in the marketplace. Reynolds Wrap® Aluminum Foil is 98.5% aluminum. The balance is primarily iron and silicon. These are added to give the strength and puncture resistance obtained only in the alloy used in Reynolds Wrap® Aluminum Foil.
So mikie needs to check his facts before he posts them.
sorry Rjohn... i took that aluminum percentage off somebody's website. I was sadly misinformed just like you said.
Somebody Else's website says that standard ;
AA8111 spec is 97.2%*typical* alum .
and some other 'stuff'
reflectivity is 88 & 80%,, shiny and dull sides, fresh off the press.
Thank you for correcting me.
Now I wonder what is the emissivity of alum foil and how fast does it corrode in walls and attics ?
I live in St Petersburg FL and my attic used to be like an oven. I used the cheap barrier long ago and it helped a little. I replaced it with a bubble wrap radiant barrier stapled to my roof rafters. That gave it a R value of about 12 and I installed two solar attic vents on the house to help remove excessive heat within this barrier. I attached 2x4 on the peak area of the roof in the attic and made it so all the hot air rises into this space. Then added an electric fan blowing outside air into the attic and the peak area. I added another fan on the other side of the house to exhaust the air out. My attic is cooler than ever. This makes my a/c unit that is in the attic to run less and keeps the house cooler. One more thing add another layer of insulation on top of anything that is there alreay. have it run the oposite way of what is up there now. Do you have an attic set of stairs or a hole with a lid. I installed a hatch cover with hinges and added a layer of insulation on top of it. This way when I leave the attic the hatch is closed and keeps out any hot air into the house and cold air in the winter.
Did the same thing to my house in Virginia in 2007, Cost me 1500 for the products & went through 2 electric staplers, 10,000 5/16 Staples & the time it took to lay this out over a 3700 ranch style home.
The result in 2008 is my electric bills in the summer are dwn by 30% at least even though their has been an increase in the electric rates & they charge a fuel surcharge now.
For anyone to say in these time that not using a radiant barrier is NOT a good idea doesn't know much about saving money!!!
Radiant GUard of Texas is the 'originator' of this product.
Here is a link that might be useful: Radiant Guard
I live in Florida and have both. I added another lay of insulation in the attic and the radient barrier is stapled to the under side of the rafters. All the excessive heat is channeled into the peak and goes out through two solar vents and two electrical gable fans if needed. I used a bubble wrap barrier instead of just the old paper barrier. I got an R 12 for the rafters and made a big difference My house has insulation in the walls (foam) and under the floow fiberglass. My a/c never comes on during the day and the house is cool

Six reasons why now is the perfect time to sell your homeFriday, May 9th, 2014 Issue 19, Volume 18.
Buyer motivation Spring has traditionally been the busiest time for real estate sales across the country. Of course there are always exceptions to this rule â primarily in resort areas. For example, the Palm Springs area (Coachella Valley) market always heats up in the fall as the snowbirds begin their migration from northern destinations that will soon be covered in a blanket of snow. Temecula and Murrieta typically start to see more real estate action when schools take their Spring Break which typically coincides with the Easter holiday. Folks come to the area to visit with friends and family during the holiday period and start to mull over the possibility of living in a community as beautiful and affordable as ours. Being a family-oriented community, most who want to move to the Temecula-Murrieta Valley want to make the move after school gets out for the summer and long before it starts up again in the fall; making May the perfect month to purchase a new home, open escrow and get settled and acclimated to their new surroundings, giving the children an opportunity to make new friends and feel at home before heading off to their new schools in September. The market moves now Traditionally (again there are always going to be exceptions) 60 percent of all home sales take place between May and August each year. The savvy seller who puts their home on the market in May maximizes their exposure in the marketplace. As spring turns to summer, more and more homes will enter the market, competing with buyers attention. List your home now and you stand the best chance of more showings with more qualified buyers who are more likely to bring you a full market offer. The last thing you want is for buyers to shelve their 2014 plans to relocate to Temecula, as they get ready for going back to school and the holiday season. Mortgage rates Many predictions from last year would have us at a 5 percent interest rate by now with expectations that they will be at 6 percent or higher by the end of the year. As of the time this article is being prepared, 30 year fixed rates are being advertised* just over 4 percent and a 5 year fixed adjustable mortgage can be had for under 3 percent with the right credit and down payment. However, anyone considering purchasing a home knows that these rates can change overnight. Buyers today are poised and ready to hit the streets with approved financing in hand â wanting to buy a home before they shoot up and find themselves left behind. Pricing is everything Last year saw a spike in the local real estate market jumpstarting the local economy with close to a 25 percent increase in real estate values. Multiple offers, over list prices were the norm and not the exception a year ago. While many homeowners today have fallen into Advertisement The truth is a huge percentage of homes that are selling are selling for significantly less than their initial list price. The longer a home sits on the market overpriced, the less likely that they will receive a fair market offer. Buyers will feel a sellers desperation to sell and come in with low-ball offers justifying their action with the belief that there must be something wrong with the home, otherwise it would have already have sold. When pricing a home today, forget about what you think its worth. Dont spend time looking on Zillow, Trulia or any of the other countless websites that offer an automated opinion of value. Rather, work with a trusted REALTOR and carefully analyze the last 60 days of sold properties similar to yours and close to yours. At another time, I would suggest also looking at the active listings in the MLS; however today, many are so over-priced that it just skews the numbers. Remember, the value is what someone is willing to pay for it â it has nothing to do with your plans, dreams or expectations. Bidding wars As mentioned above, todays market is not seeing multiple offers â buyers are not bidding prices up, thinking they have to snag a home now before they get shut out of the market. My own predictions for the housing market over the next several years will see a modest 5 percent to 6 percnt increase in value. This is a traditional market and if you were to look at the long term value of real estate, youll discover that this is very typical â its just that we went through some crazy times in both directions over the last 10 to 15 years. A 5 percent difference in price a year from now wont make a big difference to buyers, so they are not in the same rush they were in a year ago. Technology is more important than ever Every year society as a whole experiences great leaps in technology, and for the average consumer I dont think it is any more prevalent that in the world of real estate. In the past, technology for REALTORS focused on their websites and MLS searches. It was important to syndicate their listings so that individual homes could be found. Today, its all about mobile devices, smart phones and tablets. Make certain that your agent has the necessary tools and technologies available to make your house jump out of a 2" smart phone screen. Mediocre photos, more than ever, will cripple your chance of achieving your 2014 real estate goals. Call us today and get the information you need to make the right decision.

Hype. Don't fall for it. Anytime someone is trying to create urgency, take a step back. Take a time out. Never chase this market or any market. Let it come to you.
Rich, The article is telegraphing the message to sellers to get what they can get for their house right now because it's going to be much less later for years to come.

Little River Wetlands Project is a nonprofit land trust founded in 1990 with the goal of restoring and preserving wetlands in the watershed of the Little River, a headwater tributary of the Wabash River. Its primary project area encompasses 25,000 acres of land once known as the Great Marsh, in Allen and Huntington Counties, Indiana. When settlers first arrived in this area, they found a vast wetland complex teeming with wildlife. LRWP is working to restore what can be saved of this valuable ecosystem.
With the help of its members and volunteers, LRWP protects almost 1,200 acres in the Little River valley. At its Eagle Marsh, Arrowhead Marsh and Arrowhead Prairie preserves, initial restoration is complete, native plants are growing, and wildlife is returning in abundance. Intensive stewardship to nurture the new native plants is still needed at all three preserves. Little River Landing nature preserve in Huntington, co-owned with ACRES Land Trust, is being maintained in a natural state.
The mission of the Little River Wetlands Project is to restore and protect wetlands in the watershed of the Little River, a major tributary of the Wabash River, and to provide educational opportunities that encourage good stewardship of wetlands and other natural ecosystems.
Much of the wildlife that once thrived on the Great Marsh is now endandered or threatened. By providing needed habitat, our wetland preserves help these precious species survive. Wetlands also control flooding, cleanse groundwater, and offer opportunities for nature recreation. Our free nature education programs teach people of all ages about wetlands and related nature topics. Finally, LRWP is a good neighbor, supplying consultation to individuals who wish to preserve or restore their land and provide opportunities for scientific study to nearby universities.
Only with your support can Little River Wetlands Project continue to carry out its restoratons, land stewardship, nature education, and other programs. Please consider making a generous contribution now.

Acrobatic Tumble: Serious Flaws in Adobe Reader 8.1.2
Adobe cautions in an advisory against a whole series of flaws in Adobe Reader 8.1.2. Most of them also affect Linux.
Adobe provides new packages for 8.1.3 to react quickly to the problem, mainly discovered by iDefense Labs and the Zero Day initiative. You can get the complete security bulletin here.
The advisory affects a number of CVE numbers dealing with vulnerabilities mainly from attack from special code in PDF data, causing a potential system crash and even yielding control of the system. Fortunately no cases have yet been recorded. The CVEs are:
The CVE-2008-4816 should affect Windows only, but CVE-2008-2992 has been known since July of this year and involves format attacks using the util.printf() JavaScript function.
Few distributions provide Adobe Reader in their repositories because it isn't free software. They usually refer to the Adobe download site that provides RPM, Debian and tar.gz installers. Users should pull in the newest version indicated, although Reader 9 isn't included for Linux.

How to Make a Clean Eating Grocery List
Filed under:
Healthy Meals

No one likes to diet. The stomach cramps, the kicks of cravings, and, worst of all, the "oops" slip-ups and subsequent guilt — thanks, but no thanks! That's where the clean eating diet comes in. The "Clean Eating" diet has inspired everything from Clean Eating Magazine to clean eating recipes. The premise of the "eat clean diet" isn't complicated, counterintuitive, or controversial. Instead, this diet applies what you probably already know about healthy eating into a meal plan that prioritizes unprocessed and fresh foods.

Simply limiting your high fructose corn syrup and table sugars, ingredients commonly found in processed foods, can work wonders on your health, as "the fructose part of both table sugar and HFCS can elevate triglycerides and also lead to insulin resistance," according to Clean Eating Magazine's Jonny Bowden, PhD. A clean eating diet does not require ruthless calorie-counting, but the consumption of healthy foods to improve your overall well-being and lifelong health. A diet that's not faddy, insane, or high maintenance? We could get used to that!

What is Clean Eating?
 Generally, "clean eating" is defined as the process of eating foods as close to their natural state as possible, including fresh fruits and vegetables, as opposed to fast food or prepackaged meals. This means choosing oranges over orange juice or water over soda, for example. Food that is minimally processed gives our bodies the maximum nutritional value needed to feed our metabolism, according to many clean eating gurus. This switch in dietary habits from processed to unprocessed foods can minimize stress, eliminate toxins, and increase the body's efficiency.

Creating a Clean Eating Grocery List
 To kick off an unprocessed diet, start by making an "eat clean" grocery list. Try to include plenty of fruits and vegetables and keep in mind that the more vivid the color, the more phytochemicals (good sources of antioxidants and vitamins) they contain. Fill your cart with dark, leafy vegetables, like kale or spinach, orange foods, like squash or oranges, red foods, like tomatoes and watermelon, and cruciferous vegetables, like broccoli. Also emphasize protein on your healthy eating grocery list to ensure that you consume enough essential amino acids. Eggs, shellfish, chicken, and lean beef are all great sources of protein. If you're concerned about carcinogens in your grilled meat, marinate them first in a red wine or beer marinade, which can both reduce heterocyclic amines. Emphasize "whole" carbs (like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains) rather than empty carbs (like potatoes, white rice and bread) when compiling your grocery list.

It's certainly tempting! But try to stay away from boxed foods, store-bought condiments and sauces, canned meals, and refined white flour. The downside is that you will probably need to make stops at the grocery store more frequently so you can eat food at its freshest. The upside is that daily weigh-ins and obsessive calorie counting aren't necessary. Simply follow your clean eating plan, drink tons of water, incorporate a little exercise and watch your health improve before your very eyes!

A friend once asked me if I knew how to make granola. I'm sure I looked puzzled as I answered, "No...I thought granola was...like...its own...thing...?" As in, I thought granola grew out of the ground. Actually, it's not that I was firmly certain that was the case. It's just that I hadn't given it a thought before I was hit with this question.
Wrong! The farmer doesn't harvest a granola crop. Someone has to make it, as in, out of other ingredients. This same friend, who was at that point now fully aware of my ignorance on the topic, was resourceful enough to send me over her family's granola recipe. Turns out, it's easy, quick, and flexible for when I'm out of half of the things the recipe actually calls for--as usual.
Here's the basic ingredients list:
I translate that as old-fashioned oats (steel-cut definitely doesn't work…oops), turbinado sugar, water, homemade vanilla (we can talk about that another time), sea salt, sliced almonds, black sesame seeds, and sunflower seeds. Start out by boiling the sugar and water together, and then stir in the vanilla and salt. Combine everything else, dump the wet mixture on top, stir, and spread evenly across a parchment-paper lined baking sheet. Finally, sprinkle cinnamon, ginger, and turmeric on top, then slip into the 275º oven for one hour. Or, as my granola friend said, "sometimes I do 30 minutes at 350º because I'm impatient."
It's glorious. After making my entire house smell like Christmas, it comes out of the oven all golden brown and audibly begging me to eat it. I do. I burn my tongue. It's just part of the process. Then, I let it cool unattended on the counter for about an hour, and then we pour what's left of it into Mason jars for the week. Yum.
Why do I make my own granola? I don't trust what any commercially produced granola contains by the time it reaches my mouth. I think mine tastes way better. I'm fairly sure it's cheaper to make your own. Plus, my house smells like Christmas. I think that's just the cinnamon, but I don't want to pin it down and ruin the magic. In a larger way, making granola is just one more small step that I've taken in the direction of natural living. It's a process. I don't know anyone--certainly not myself--who has been able to flip the switch one day from all commercial products to all homemade products. The world in which we circulate today is a mass-produced, globalized society. We want it bigger, better, and right now.
I suggest taking a small step whenever you can. Relax. Make some granola. Smell it. Eat it. Repeat.
How could salads cause weight gain? If you have Damp-Cold and you're trying to lose weight by eating cold, raw, veggie salads, you might not shed the pounds. "How can this be?" everyone is now screaming -- probably silently, that's fine. I thought eating lots of spinach, topped with radish, cucumbers, celery, etc. was supposed to help melose weight.
For some people, this might be an effective strategy, particularly if you are swapping out fast-food double cheeseburgers in favor of homemade veggie salads. Certainly, there is the undeniable benefit of increasing the nutrition you're taking in by adding more produce to your diet. I'm sure we all know someone who started eating more salads and less junk food and fairly promptly dropped a few pounds. Great.
So, why doesn't it work for everyone? In fact, why does eating all raw, cold veggie salads even have the possibility of causing weight gain in some people?
No, the answer is not about the dressing that you put on the salad! That would be too easy, not eastern-medicine-related, and frankly, it would probably cast a dark shadow on my consistently whole-fat dietary lifestyle approach.
Instead, my point here is related to one of TCM's six evil qis -- technically, two of them. I used the terms "cold" and "damp" earlier, and this is one of those special moments when normal, everyday words take on more specific meanings in the context of Chinese medicine. I think we call that "connotations." In TCM, Cold and Damp have pathogenic connotations.
A person can be constitutionally Cold or Damp from the get-go, or a person can be invaded by a Cold or Damp external pathogenic factor (actually called an "evil (xieh) qi"). Foods are like people; each food has specific properties, such as Cold, Hot, and whether the food leads to damp retention or drying out in the person who ate it.
In the case of a Cold, Damp person trying to lose weight, we need more hot, drying, acrid foods, and fewer raw, cold, damp foods on the plate. If this seems counter-intuitive, keep in mind that there are plenty of healthy, nutritious foods that have hot and acrid properties. Ginger and peppers, anyone? Yes, please.
What is your favorite food doing for you--or to you? My favorite book on nutrition, Healing with Whole Foods: Asian Traditions and Modern Nutrition, goes into detail on the connections between your diet and your health. Or, quickly check out the properties of some common fruits, veggies, meats, etc. here: http://www.tcmecc.org/foodtherapy.htm
Choose wisely, my friends.
I pretty much hate microwave ovens. Everyone who's been to my home knows that I haven't even had a handle on the door of my microwave in the past 5 years. I distrust this appliance. I find them abhorrent. I think they are one of the actual and figurative problems with American society today. Why do people regularly cook food in a box that changes it at the molecular level, rendering the food nearly nutritionally void? Convenience, my friends. Convenience.
I'm committed to using the oven and the stovetop as my cooking methods of choice. Sure, any heating destroys some of the nutritional content of many foods, but these methods are gentler and less damaging on the goods. Why is a microwave worse? Mike Adams, editor of NaturalNews.com, explains, "Microwave ovens heat food through a process of creating molecular friction, but this same molecular friction quickly destroys the delicate molecules of vitamins and phytonutrients (plant medicines) naturally found in foods."
This isn't groundbreaking news, people. Years ago I was scarred for life after reading that the microwave destroys around 97% of the vitamins and other nutrients in vegetables. Apparently, many people are OK with this, judging by the new microwavable veggies in "steam bags" available at your local grocer. Yuck, and no thanks. If I'm choking down peas, they better have full nutritional value, thank you very much.
If you haven't faced the hidden toxins in your microwave popcorn by this time, let me offer you a hand up to 2014. One of the most special ingredients in the little bag is diacetyl, which, although derived from butter, acts as an artificial butter flavor in the microwave popcorn. Sounds nice enough, until you find out that when heated it releases a gas that frequently gives popcorn factory workers a condition called "popcorn lung." Actual name--bronchiolitis obliterans. Break that Latin down. "Obliterate my bronchioles?" Yep. Turns out, it can also happen to the consumer who heats and eats this stuff at home, and it can certainly happen to the mice in laboratory settings that are exposed to this heated chemical.
And that brings me to the reason that I keep my old broken microwave around at all. Well, first of all the gaping hole above my stove would look weird. Mostly, though, the reason that I keep my microwave is because I actually melt butter in it when I air pop popcorn, which, if you know me, you'll know is all the time. I try to lessen the evil of my popcorn addiction as much as possible, believe me. I melt the organic, grass-fed cow butter on low power in a glass dish. I pour it over organic popcorn (to reduce my pesticide exposure). I lovingly tap on a good amount of sea salt, and then I eat it with voracity that only another popcorn addict can understand.
So, I'm guilty. I hope I never said I was perfect, because that would be way off. However, I do what I can to reduce my exposure to some of the health-hampering substances on the market today, including microwave popcorn. For now, the microwave, which I vehemently hate, stays... if only for one small but critical purpose in my life.

Webber: 'Modern F1 not as satisfying as old'
© Red Bull Racing, Getty Images
17 June 2013 by TF1T Staff | M | Tweet
Mark Webber believes the more experienced drivers in the field aren't getting as much satisfaction from racing as they used to, because of the tyre situation.
Whilst he understands that drivers must adapt to new rules - which change constantly - he says the racing itself has been fundamentally altered with the need for "extreme" tyre management.
"I think as a group, especially for the guys north of 100 grands prix, we've seen a different make-up of how grands prix are run these days," the Red Bull driver told Autosport.
"It's in our skill set to have to deal with some of these challenges, as we always have, whether its V10s, V8s, refuelling, one-lap qualifying; Q1, Q2, Q3.
"I've seen most of the scenarios we've had to play with, and it is important for a driver to deal with them.
"It [the racing] is different.," he added. "Monaco was quite an extreme case for that in terms of pace, as I think it around GP2 pace, and that's getting quite extreme you'd say."
Whilst Webber still enjoys driving, the Australian is finding it harder and harder to enjoy the same satisfaction as he used to.
"It is a really different type of racing, no doubt about it. You still have some nice moments in the car but it's hard to put your finger on the satisfaction side of things now. It's just different."

Event Name
- OR - Select an option belowThe strength of this Mex café is the mom-and-pop appeal. Begin with a complimentary basket of crisp yellow corn chips and zesty tomato salsa (a small dish of smooth, mellow guacamole is worth the two-dollar surcharge). A recommended starter is salbutes: small rounds of thick, fried tortillas topped with shredded chicken and a small dice of tomato and onion. Top entrées include poc-chuc: a thin, grilled, delectable pork loin cutlet that prior to cooking gets pounded and then marinated in seasoned sour orange juice; and cochinita pibil: moist morsels of marinated pork (baked in banana leaves for eight hours) atop three corn tortillas. Most main courses cost $9 to $14 and are plated with sparkling renditions of yellow rice and refried pinto beans. The best dessert is a moist homemade banana cake absolutely bursting with that fruit's flavor, sweetly glazed, and chaperoned by a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

My Last Tour: Holding Hands
Liisa and Rex Temple at Neuschwanstein Castle while on leave midway through his year-long deployment in Afghanistan. |
The seven inches of snow dusting the Bavarian Alps has created a picture-perfect wonderland for Senior Master Sgt. Rex Temple and his wife Liisa. Temple is on mid-tour leave from his year-long deployment in Afghanistan and the couple is spending two weeks in Germany.
With only a few days left together, Liisa finds herself not wanting to let go of Rex's hand. In the latest installment of our year-long series, the Tampa couple tells us about their time in Germany and how they're preparing for the inevitable separation.
"We went to Austria, visited Innsbruck along with some old Austrian churches and (Swarovski) Crystal World," Rex Temple said. "Liisa walked out of the store glittering."
The snow hasn't kept them from hiking or driving to outlying sightseeing spots. But Liisa Hyvarinen Temple has noticed a difference in her husband.
"You can really tell he's been driving around in a war zone," Liisa Temple offered. "He is super fast reacting to anything."
The couple was married three years before the Tampa airman deployed to Afghanistan. It is his tenth overseas deployment, but their first as a couple. He said the key to managing the stress of separation is starting with a strong marriage.
"Then, what do you do with that while you're deployed, how you communicate and find ways to make that marriage stronger," Rex Temple said.
"I cannot even imagine how difficult it is for him where he's at in Afghanistan," Liisa Temple said. "So I think my job is to just support him every possible way I can and take care of the household. And we're lucky. We don't have children. We just have dogs and the household."
But SMSgt. Temple believes his wife has the toughest job. "She has to be independent, take care of the house, take care of the dogs, work at her job, take care of the vehicles."
They both say the blog, Afghanistan: My Last Tour, has eased some of the stress caused by deployment. It gives the senior master sergeant an outlet and offers family and friends daily updates.
SMSgt. Temple expects to return to his Afghanistan camp before Christmas. But the upside to that he said is that he'll only have four and a half months left before he comes home to his wife.

Sunshine on Leith and I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles) both featured in the list of top Scottish tracks selected by the public for last year's Scotland's Greatest Album on STV – and now the Reid twins are back with a new album, and about to go back on tour.
They also roped in a comedy star to come up with a hilarious video for them! Craig explained: "The new single's called Spinning Around in the Air, and it's the first track from the new album, which is called Like Comedy.
"We did a video for it a couple of weeks ago in Giffnock, directed by Matt Lucas, who got us dressed up as two old ladies making punch to get the 50th wedding anniversary party going.
"He makes a wee appearance at the end as the arresting officer, as we're taken into the police car."
So how did they feel about their costumes for the video? Charlie said: "We were mentally prepared we were going to do it, because I think Matt had mugged us into doing it.
"He had suggested there was going to be these two old ladies making punch – and then he suggested perhaps we could be the two old ladies, so it was a slow introduction.
"It began to dawn on us that we were going to have to go through with it, but it was absolutely hilarious.
"It was funny putting the stuff on, the reaction from everybody else when we were doing the filming itself. And then looking at each other was a bit surreal."
Craig added: "It was great. We've known Matt for a number of years, he's a Proclaimers fan, and we worked on the Peter Kay video with him as well, and he's a good guy."
The brothers told us about the how the title Like Comedy reflects on not taking things quite so seriously as they get older – and also revealed what their own favourite Proclaimers track is. They also talked about their pride at having two tracks on Scotland's Greatest Album.
Of their future plans, Craig said: "We've got a busy summer, we've got festivals all over, and then we've got a major British tour in October and November, we're going to Singapore as well, we're going to Dubai, we might be going to Australia, so there's a lot of stuff this year.
"We haven't really played any gigs for a couple of years – in July it'll be two years since we've played, so we're looking forward to getting back out there."

Featured Article
The news about South African runner Caster Semenya comes just as we sat down to talk about gender issues. Here's a bit of the AP report:
SYDNEY — World 800-metre champion Caster Semenya of South Africa has male and female sexual organs, the Sydney Morning Herald reported Friday, posing an ethical and political quandary for world track and field's ruling body. The Herald said extensive physical examinations of the 18-year-old runner ordered by the IAAF have shown she is technically a hermaphrodite.
It's a story that prompts most media into lurid description, tabloid questioning, and fear-based "conversation" about gender identity. I hope I'm wrong about the tone of the coverage, and what it means for this important discussion. Some people, like Peterson Toscano already understand how to make this a real "conversation."
Toscano is an actor, performance artist, writer and activist who is bridging divides between gay and straight, and gay and transgender communities
As we joked on air today, any of the words "transgender" or "performance art" or "one-man theater piece" are enough to make most of white, straight, middle-class America go running in the other direction. But his way of gently, firmly, engagingly describing his work easily cuts across gender, age, class and race.
Toscano joined us for a second time on Where We Live to talk about his upcoming show "Tranfigurations: Transgressing Gender in the Bible." (Tonight at Hartford's Charter Oak Cultural Center) It examines the key role played by sexually "transgressing" characters in the bible - potentially fuel for fire from both sides of the religious divide. He was joined by Scott Turner Schofield - whose "Becoming a Man in 127 Easy Steps" (right) comes to Real Art Ways on September 18th and 19th.
The last time Peterson was on to talk about gender identity issues in 2007, the program won a national award from PRNDI (Public Radio News Directors, Inc.) the leading organization for public radio news. He's pretty remarkable about breaking down barriers - and addressing awkward questions from talk show hosts.
Speaking of RAW...
We're back at the Hartford space for art, cinema, performance and conversation on October 7 and November 18. Our first show there is a live rumination on our home city, Hartford...where it's been, and where it's going. I'd love your feedback. What makes Hartford great? What make Hartford...uh, not great? Why do you choose to live here? Why do you avoid it like the plague? We'll have a pre-show reception and post-show conversation and get a chance to meet and chat. I hope you can join us.
Speaking of the Charter Oak Cultural Center...
One of the problems of a week filled with news and conversation is that we can't get to everything. So, I wanted to use this space to draw attention to another performance tomorrow night (Sept. 12) at Charter Oak - the Connecticut Improvising Composers Project. Touted as: "A gathering of Stephen Haynes, David Darling, Mario Pavone and Peter McEachern, four dynamic Connecticut improvising composers." You can find out more about this unique collaboration between four of our state's best musicians on the blog of WWL friend Stephen Haynes.
Driving the point home
The Courant's Rick Green has an excellent column about the problems of regulating older drivers on Connecticut's roads. His blog also links back to our recent show on the subject.
Jumping for Joy!
Finally, a shout-out to a new rock star of the canine world, Lucy Nalpathanchil's dog, Sidney. As reported first by Spinner, Sidney is the cover dog for the new record by the band, Weezer (right). The band found the photo by Lucy's husband Jason Neely in National Geographic's One Shot feature...and a star was born.
Lucy tells us she was standing just off-camera, holding a pig ear...Sid's favorite. Aside from the acrobatics provided by Sidney, you also get a glimpse inside their living room...including their hiding cat (see if you can find!). Congrats, Sidney!

We are not saying that alfs will be all knowing about package deps. The profile writer would still need to place the deps in the XML profile file to tell alfs what the deps are. This is where the logging spec comes in. To answer the simple question - what has been installed? There are other ways of course to determine if a package is installed, but I think the log is the best way to go, especially for a specific version of a package that a dep calls for. >> Serial works for the first time.

Certainly one can try. But not easy. Again, that is where the logging facility shines. James

Ferrari F2006 preview - front wing & suspension 30 November 2005
This artist's impression of Ferrari's 2006 machine features a nose that drops down far more noticeably than on the F2005, with a wide, flat section, closely resembling that on the McLaren MP4-20. As a result, the pillars connecting the front wing to the nose will be shorter and slightly inclined. The wing itself will lose the F2005's additional box wing in favour of one main profile (1), deeply curved in the centre in a similar fashion to the McLaren's. New, lower front wishbone mountings (2) will be separate and connected to the chassis at its very lowest corners. This 'no-keel' concept was seen on the MP4-20 and on the final versions of Toyota's TF105B. It has the dynamic advantage of a very low roll centre, allowing for much-reduced camber angles, which improve tyre performance/durability, and the car's handling. It is also less disruptive to the airflow coming from the front wing, hence increasing the aero efficiency of the bottom of the car.

Hopefully Patterson doesnt subscribe to the philosophy of mechanical alteration to the point of obscurity that has run rampant around here this past decade or so.
