My poor little squashies! Mystery solved?
I'm beginning to think that it is NOT squash bugs tearing up my little plants!
1. - The insecticide soap did not seem to have any effect. Two or three hours later, I would see the little tiny black spots again on the leaves, stems and flowers.
2. - I never saw anything that looked like the bugs on the internet.
BUT. I came across a picture and article last night that may be the answer.
The topic was about old wood boards nearby that may be starting to rot, and become hosts to bacteria, spores, etc. The pictures they showed looked EXACTLY like the little spots on my squash plants!
And, I've been using old wood boards nearby to keep the plants up off the dirt! So, this morning, I got rid of the boards, and made little platforms out of chicken wire, and put these under the squash stems.
Please keep your fingers crossed, and I'll provide follow-up pictures.
Here is a link that might be useful: photos 11 through 16
I very much doubt that the fungus that breaks down dead wood would effect your live, green squash plants. I also don't think the spots on your squash are particularly serious. What's most problematic is that your squash plants are not very vigorous or healthy. They look like they're just barely getting by, which would make them more susceptible to fungus or mildew. Are they in a sunny location?
Thanks so much for your reply! I've been wondering about the sun...I first used this bed in 2008, and had a bunch of squash then. I didn't plant anything there in 2009, so the bed was unused for 2 years. Now I'm wondering if those trees are, in fact, a lot bigger!. I have cut branches back several times, and the squash do get direct sun for a good 6-7 hours a day, but maybe that's not enough.
There's a spot nearby that gets much MORE sun, but I've been afraid to move them. Maybe if I very carefully dug up the entire surrounding dirt, and disturbed them as little as possible?
Or just write it off to experience? I'm still pretty much a veggie newbie.
Thanks again!
trying out direct links...
my squash from 2008:
Even in that picture your squash plant looks pretty small. Not surprising since it seems to be placed in a tight spot. Most squashes, especially the vining ones, like tons of room to roam and spread their vines and roots far and wide. Even bush type summer squashes can be monstrous plants. But when you don't have such a big garden, you do what you can.

With around 70% of car seats being used incorrectly, Inside Out has produced a guide to selecting and fitting car seats.
Choose a seat that is suitable for your child's weight and height.
Babies should be in rearward-facing baby seats.
Do not move your child to a forward-facing seat until they weigh at least 9kgs and can sit up unaided, but keep them in a rearward-facing seat for as long as possible.
Once your child is above the maximum weight for a rearward-facing seat or the top of their head is above the top of the seat, they should be moved into a forward-facing seat.
It's safer to fit child seats in the rear of the car, but if necessary they can be fitted in the front.
Never fit a rearward-facing baby seat in the front if there is an airbag on the passenger side of the car.
If the airbag went off it would strike the seat with considerable force.
Read and follow the manufacturer's instructions for fitting the seat. If you have lost the instructions, contact the child seat manufacturer to check if they can provide a copy.
Make sure the seatbelt passes through all the correct guides on the child seat. Some seats have an alternative routing if the seat belt is too short to go around the main route.
Push your weight into the child seat as you tighten the seat belt to make sure the child seat is securely held. There should be no slack in the seat belt.
The child seat should rest firmly on the car seat, with hardly any forwards or sideways movement.
Check that the seatbelt buckle is not resting on the child seat frame (this is known as 'buckle crunch).
Keep the fitting instructions with the child seat in the car.
If you are unsure about anything, seek advice and if possible get someone to check the fitting of child seat for you.
Never modify the seat or adult seatbelt to make it fit.
If you are fitting a forward-facing child seat in the front of a car, make sure the car seat is as far back as it will go, so the child is as far as possible from the dashboard. This reduces the possibility of head or chest injuries in a crash.
If you take the child seat out of the car, make sure you fit it properly every time you put it back in.
If it stays in the car permanently, check it regularly to make sure it is still securely held.
Make sure the harness is correctly adjusted - only one or two fingers should fit between the child's chest and harness.
If you are using a booster seat or cushion, the adult seatbelt should rest on the child's shoulder, not neck and from hip bone to hip bone.
Never tuck the seatbelt under the child's arm or behind their back.
Never fit a rear-facing child restraint in a seat with an active airbag in front of it.
Forward-facing restraints should be as far back from the airbag as possible.
The best advice is do not buy a second hand child seat.
It may have been involved in an accident and the damage may not be visible.
Very often the instructions are missing from second hand seats which makes it more difficult to be sure that you are fitting and using it correctly.
Second hand seats are also likely to be older, to have suffered more wear and tear and may not be designed to current safety standards.
It is far better to buy a new child seat. Prices range dramatically, and it is not necessary to buy the most expensive one.
If you must use a second hand seat, only accept one from a family member or friend and then only if you are absolutely certain that you know its history, it comes with the original instructions and it is not too old.

The VPS4 gene is involved in protein transport out of a yeast pre-vacuolar endosome-like compartment

Four yeast mutants were isolated in a screen for dominant-negative vacuolar protein-sorting mutants, secreting a carboxypeptidase Y-invertase hybrid protein. In addition to defects in the sorting/transport of soluble vacuolar hydrolases, the mutants accumulated a pre-vacuolar endosome-like compartment. The mutant alleles causing the defects were identified as the members of the VPS4 gene locus, each harbouring single-point mutations leading to amino-acid exchanges at positions 233 (E233Q), 211 (E211 K), and 178 (G178D). These mutations all reside within a 200 amino-acid-long ATPase module, common to members of the AAA-protein family. The VPS4 gene product shows homology to the yeast Sec18p (50% similarity and 25% identity), which is involved in several vesicle-mediated protein transport steps and homotypic membrane fusion events. Disruption of the VPS4 gene leads to a recessive vacuolar protein-sorting phenotype. About 40% of newly synthesized CPY is secreted as the Golgi-modified p2CPY precursor form. Transport of secretory proteins to the plasma membrane is normal as demonstrated by the secretion of invertase and α-factor. The α-factor, however, is secreted as a partially processed precursor, caused by defects in late Golgi function. The vps4 mutants also exhibit defects in fluid-phase endocytosis, as demonstrated by the accumulation of Lucifer Yellow in a pre-vacuolar endosome-like compartment. Based on the pleiotropic phenotype of the vps4 mutants and on the sequence homology to NSF/Sec18p, we propose that the VPS4 gene product is required for efficient transport out of the pre-vacuolar endosome-like compartment.

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Province rolls out online gambling option
A new regulated online gambling site for Manitobans -- PlayNow.Com -- was launched today.
Manitoba Liquor and Lotteries says the site will give Manitobans a safe and secure way to play roulette or a hand of poker. Other games include live poker, video poker, slots and Blackjack. There will also be live sports betting on a variety of leagues, tournaments and events, according to a news release.
Later this year, live bingo and some lottery products will also be available online.
"We are pleased to offer Manitobans a reputable and safe online gambling option," said Winston Hodgins, president and CEO of Manitoba Liquor & Lotteries. "Players can be confident in the extensive safety and security measures that are in place to protect their personal information, their bets and their deposits."
Carolin Taubensee, executive general manager of eGaming at Manitoba Liquor and Lotteries, said the site has several distinctive products such as live poker, which connects players from Manitoba, B.C. and Quebec.
"We are confident that Manitobans will really enjoy playing on this exciting site, which is based on British Columbia Lottery Corporation's (BCLC) PlayNow.com platform. Manitoba residents who are 18 years or older may register to play on the site.
Revenues from PlayNow.com will be reinvested into Manitoba communities, lotteries officials said. Three per cent of online gambling net income will be provided to the Addictions Foundation of Manitoba and two per cent will be committed to Manitoba Lotteries' responsible gambling initiatives.
The province will allocate 15 per cent to support expanded provincial programming for Aboriginal sport and recreational activities. The remaining revenue will be directed to the Province of Manitoba to support health care, education, community and social services and economic development.

"Missing in death"
This was not as good as the others. But I love Eve and her family and friends. Wish Eve get pregnant and learn to love how a child should be loved. Peabody and Ian get married and start family too.
"Irresistable you"
I love this book and the others about the grayson family. Excellent love story.
"a rich man's baby"
I thought this book was okay. I did not like Adrienne when she let money ruled her motive for living. I liked the other young later in the book until she lied about her life. I recommend this book if you are totally borded
"fair read."
I enjoyed the decription of the main character,but took too long to understand what was going on with the woman murdered and why and who killed her.

Hey mattg3,
I have 1st hand experience in testing hundreds of HDMI cables for 4K as we manufacture our own HDMI cables. At 10 FT length pretty much any cable that you find on amazon for around $10 claiming to do 4K signal will be OK to use... it gets tricky when you go over 15 FT of length.
Cables being so cheap these days tat upgrading them later wont be a big issue, if you are not installing it in wall , just get a HDMI 1.4 you should be fine..

Excellent Mid-Weight Austrian jacket -
By: CANOE2 from DC Metro
I found the quality to be exceptional and the fit and finish to be very nice. This is a very smart looking jacket that will certainly set one apart with a European flair. I wear a 40 regular athletic fit suit jacket and decided to order a 38. The 38 fits well with enough room to wear a sweater as well. I look forward to many years of wear and will compliment the Austrian jacket my wife purchased for herself on our recent trip to Vienna.
Surprisingly, well-liked -
By: creeker from Stony Creek, Ct
Received as a gift, I didn't think much of this when first looking it over, but it's extremely comfortable, warm, and great for casual wear. It's less a sport coat than a sort of really nice cardigan - turn the collar up and you're a total dude!
Beautiful but boxy -
By: Stretchedpebble
The material, workmanship, style of this jacket are all fantastic. I really wish it fit me. I am 5'11", 180 lb, 44" chest, 34" waist. It is a bit snug in the upper body and enormous in the lower body. The style is great but does not lend itself to alterations. So, sadly, I must return this beautiful jacket.

Beautifully designed, very handsome jacket. Weight is very good, between a sweater and a sport jacket.
Tyrolean Jacket -
By: Hansemil from Wyckoff, NJ
Good fit and true to size. Good quality but surprised the garment was not lined on the inside of the body or arms.
Great Sport Coat -
By: Luvminnesota from Minnesota
I bought this for my husband as a Christmas gift - he LOVES it! The fit and color are perfect and, as usual, the quality of product from Orvis is top notch. I especially love the trim and the horn buttons!
Tyrolean Sport Coat -
By: kyawacs from Anchorage, Alaska
Not happy with the weight or quality of this sport coat. I expected better from Steinbock. Very flimsy and lightweight material. More like a flannel shirt than a jacket.
Unique and Stylish -
By: PaulV from MA
I bought this jacket to add a bit of style and differentiation to offset a boring world of plain menswear out there and I love it. It attracts attention and feels great. It is snug, even though I went a size larger. It is not a heavy jacket but the uniqueness of style and exceptional fabric makes it a special purchase. What attracts me to Orvis is the accents that make the products unique and different while being stylish. This jacket has it all.
Beautiful, warm, sharp looking -
By: Bendrix from Rochester, MA
I love Trachten (traditional Bavarian) clothing. Years ago, while on business in Munich, I got a wool jacket that always draws compliments, is comfortable and warm too. Finding a new style of Trachten in Orvis prompted me to order one of these in 40 immediately. The fit was true to my size and the construction top quality. Not shown in the picture is the full button feature. Buttons run up the full length of the front, to the neck. The lapels are made to fold flat to the body for a full closed button up fit. The collar snugs up against the neck like a scarf adding the warmth of an outdoor coat to a very stylish sport jacket style. I'm fit so this jacket could be just a bit trimmer, but its still a great fit. This is not a giant-gut pyramid cut like the Walker Jacket is. I got one of those too, returned for poor fit, returned again for another poor fit and misleading material claims. If you like the style, you'll love this coat.

DEFINITION of 'Constant Proportion Debt Obligation - CPDO'
A type of synthetic collateralized debt instrument that is backed by a debt security index, such as an iTraxx index. CPDOs were first created by ABN AMRO in 2006, which sought to create a high interest bearing instrument that also contained the highest debt ratings against default.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Constant Proportion Debt Obligation - CPDO'
Periodically, the debt security index in which the CPDO is backed, is rolled over by buying derivatives on the old index, and selling derivatives on a new index. By continually buying and selling derivatives on the underlying index, the administrator of the CPDO will be able to customize the amount of leverage it employs in an attempt to make additional returns off of the index price spreads at any given time.
It is important to note, that many debt rating agencies have claimed that CPDOs' sensitivity to credit spread volatility should result lower credit ratings.

Planet Wampetter is a rather backward place to those of us from Earth. One example of this is that Wampetters are incredibly insulted if a person bathes before seeing them; the dirtier they are, the happier they are! But the messages of respecting those who are different than you, sincerity and friendship get lost in the extremely convoluted storyline. This is a strange book that offers little to the reader. The author is a former newspaper reporter and trial lawyer; more recently a teacher, parent and author, who lives with his family in Los Angles, California. He has written a novel and continues to write fiction for his children and their friends. 1995, Perspective Publishing,

Reconnecting with Nature
Through Green Architecture
Stephen Kellert, a social ecologist, is a passionate advocate for the need to incorporate aspects of the natural world into our built environment. In an interview with Yale Environment 360, he explains what we can learn from cathedrals, why flowers in a hospital can heal, and how green design can boost a business's bottom line.
by richard conniff
Stephen R. Kellert, a social ecologist, has spent much of his career thinking and writing about biophilia, the innate human affinity for nature. His most recent book (with co-editors Judith H. Heerwagen and Martin L. Mador) is
Biophilic Design: The Theory, Science, and Practice of Bringing Buildings to Life
. It's an exploration of how we cut ourselves off from nature in the way we design the buildings and neighborhoods where we live and work. And it's an argument for re-connecting these spaces to the natural world, with plenty of windows, daylight, fresh air, plants and green spaces, natural materials, and decorative motifs from the natural world.
Kellert and his co-authors believe that people learn better, work more comfortably, and recuperate more successfully in buildings that echo the
Stephen R. Kellert
environment in which the human species evolved. The new volume brings together the evidence, which is strongest in health care. In one study, for instance, spinal surgery patients in rooms with bright sunlight needed 22 percent less pain medication than patients in darker recovery rooms. But firm evidence of improvements in workplace productivity, absenteeism, employee retention and other bottom-line criteria is still too patchy for most companies to make the commitment to rethinking design.
Kellert himself recently put his biophilic ideas to the test at the Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies, where he's the Tweedy/Ordway Professor of Social Ecology. As one of the driving thinkers in
the design of the school's new headquarters
, opened early this year, he pushed successfully for use of wood surfaces from the school's own forests, green courtyards, and many other biophilic features. Kellert has also served as an advisor to such prominent green building projects as Bank of America's new office tower in midtown Manhattan, Goldman Sachs' Jersey City campus, and the new Sidwell Friends Middle School campus in Washington, D.C.
After 30 years in academia, Kellert recently cut back on his teaching to join Environmental Capital Partners, a newly formed private equity firm,

investing in companies offering green products and services. But, in an interview with
Yale Environment 360
, he admits that persuading his partners to invest in biophilic design is just a dream, for now.
Yale Environment 360
: So let's start with the status quo, can you talk about one building that really epitomizes what we're doing wrong, that cuts people off from nature instead of connecting them to it?
Steven Kellert
: One simple statistic is that the majority of people who work in office buildings in the United States work in a windowless environment. And look at the way we decorate or don't decorate hospital rooms, for example. A good many of them are windowless, especially the older kinds. They're barren. There's not much attempt to incorporate any kind of organic — even simulated organic — characteristics. There's a great recent study by Roger Ulrich. There are identical emergency room rooms. One is this windowless, barren environment, with nothing on the wall, and the barest, meanest of furnishings. And it's a room that is characterized by hostility, anxiety, and even acting-out behavior. And then they transform the room — it's the same room, still windowless, but they put décor in there that had natural materials, it had patterns on the couches that mimicked natural forms; they had pictures on the wall. I have a picture of the two side by side — and you only have to see it to recognize in yourself which place would you rather be, and the empirical data was dramatic. Less hostility, less aggression, less acting-out behavior, and this is not just amenity value, it's actual performance and productivity.
The same thing occurs in the workplace. Why do people experience flagging morale and fatigue and higher absenteeism in these windowless environments? Why are they far far more likely to try to incorporate some kind of — usually fairly pathetic — but to incorporate some kind of expression of organic quality — they'll have a Sierra Club calendar, they'll have a potted plant, much more likely than say somebody working in a perimeter in a windowed environment. The problem is that that's really superficial, there's not really an experiential engagement, and so after a while even though you've got a beautiful Sierra Club calendar you barely see it anymore, it's like your screensaver, which saves you for a little while and then it's just background Muzak, or whatever.
: So what are two or three of the main things that buildings need to be doing to get people connected to nature, and that work well…
: Well the lowest hanging fruit, I like to say, because it's the easiest thing do, is natural light and — to the extent that you can — natural ventilation helps. Certainly décor. A lot of what we've done from time immemorial in buildings is to contextualize our experience of nature in ways that we hardly even realize. When you go into a cathedral, which often has many biophilic elements in the way in which it manipulates light and space and air, and material and shape and form, and color sometimes as well, you know people don't say "ah, nature," it's not obvious, it's not a direct experiential contact with self-sustaining nature. It's what I call vicarious or representational nature. A lot of this is retrieving things that we've done in the past, intuitively and instinctually, and I use the word advisedly, because I think these are biological tendencies, inclinations. As we became more machine-oriented and thought of the world as a human-engineered world, I think we've kind of lost sight of those needs.
: You've said at some point that we have laws to protect zoo animals from being kept in hostile environments. I wonder if we have laws that do the opposite for humans, that force us into unnatural and hostile environments?
: We have laws to protect animals from environments that we regard as psychologically degrading or depraved or debilitating. And the irony, those were humane laws, they were promulgated by organizations like the Humane Society of the United States, and now we try to create naturalistic habitats for these animals, because they're animals, right, and we describe the conditions as inhumane, which to me is the ultimate irony. And yet we can put ourselves into a windowless environment, something that would have been considered like a Skinner box not too long ago, with very little stimulation, very little color, very little variability, very little that is organic in its simulation or form, and yet we don't regard that as inhumane, which I think says volumes about how we don't really see ourselves as like the animal in the cage, we are something different from an animal.
: In the book much of what you present as evidence is not about aesthetics, it's about neurology and physiology. I'm thinking of the healthcare studies where patients in surgery had a 22 percent reduction in the use of painkillers when they were in more naturalistic recovery rooms.
: Why do people bring flowers to the hospital all the time? What good is it? It's not a pill, it's not—these flowers aren't selected for their medicinal values, they haven't been systematically examined for their pharmacological effects, and yet people do it. Is it just superficial? Is it just a nice gesture, nice but not important? I would suggest that it is a much deeper recognition of the healing effects associated with affirming life. I don't think there's a person on earth who doesn't respond to a sunset, or to a beautiful flowering rose, or to a conical shape of a mountain.
And when you begin to look, you begin to see all sorts of adaptive and functional tendencies that can come out of that experiential response to aesthetics. Modern medicine sees ourselves as transcending and conquering nature, and all we needed was a machine that could intervene and make us well again, conquer, suppress, eliminate disease, and certainly we've done marvelous things with these machines. But we've also lost sight of some very fundamental aspects of health and healing, and consequently create these hospitals that are very often mechanistic to the point that they're debilitating, and the evidence in this particular sphere is beginning to change some minds.
: The one thing missing in the evidence and that really matters most to builders and developers is, whether biophilic design affects cost and benefits, profit and loss…
: Right. There's some evidence—it's not completely absent. We're doing a study right now for the eastern headquarters for Bank of America at Bryant Park [in mid-town Manhattan], and the builders, one of the authors in our biophilic design book…Bob Fox…he did incorporate some elements of biophilic design, in terms of fresh air, and natural light, and all kinds of experiential elements and materials used and so forth…
: The trading pit in that building is the only one, I think, that has daylight.
: Right, right, and we're collecting data across a wide range of parameters from physical data to social data to psychological data. And we're going to be able to measure whether there have been bottom line effects, absenteeism, health and symptomatology, productivity, retention — retention is a really important thing for a company like Bank of America, because it costs a lot to train people — and so we'll have some of those indicators. My colleague on the Bank of American study did an office and factory study associated with the Herman Miller company, which is a furniture manufacturer, in which they were able to find significant productivity gains, less absenteeism, less health problems, a better sense of well-being as reported by the individuals that participated. And ultimately all of this translates to the bottom line.
I would prefer that we had even more subtle measures — critical thinking, problem solving, creativity, solidarity, if you will. Ultimately, those are the real tests of whether a company succeeds or not. Genzyme, which employs a lot of expensive Ph.D. types to do biotech work, built a new building, which doesn't look much different from the outside, but when you go inside it's got light and space, it's got these little mini parks. They find people are working together more, and they're working longer — only 20 minutes on average, but that's a big factor from their point of view.
: Have you had a builder or a developer say "you've talked me into it"?
: I think that if the consumer of the product starts demanding it, that will drive change. If we depend on enlightened developers, that's going to be very difficult. First of all, most of our development in the United States is kind of hit and run. It's money coming from afar, that wants return on investment very quickly, and where the people who are investing the money and getting back returns on that money don't really care about the productivity of those who are leasing the space. That sounds kind of callous, but they don't care very much because they don't reap the benefits.
: So the customer…
: So the customer has to believe that this is a better work environment, and that is a slow process. On the other hand, the first law of social life is contagion, and if you can get to that critical threshold where enough people believe this is the case, even if they think it's just the fashion of the day, it can start to accelerate. And I believe that will occur.
: So let's talk about architects. The book is pretty harsh, at times, on architects, even though you have architects among your authors. So how are your architects reacting to this?
: I think most are indifferent rather than hostile.
: Well, how do you get their attention?
: I know that when we did our session on biophilic design at the "Greenbuild Conference," I thought we had been given a room that was too big, and that it was going to be embarrassing, because we're going to have this room for seven or eight hundred people and there'd be a hundred there… We filled the place up, and were turning people away.
: One of your authors has proposed a way to get architects thinking more along the biophilic design lines, and that is to have a biologist at the table. Architects already have to deal with so many people at the table when they're building, what would one voice add?
: Part of our problem today is kind of promiscuous specialization, the engineer or contractor or architect or whatever the specialization is,

Pursuing the Elusive Goal
of a Carbon-Neutral Building
Yale University's recently opened Kroon Hall is a state-of-the-art model of where the green building movement is headed. Yet even this showcase for renewable energy highlights the difficulties of creating a building that is 100 percent carbon neutral.
focuses on their particular brand of knowledge and develops it to the nth degree without reference to other areas, and consequently it's fragmented and we accomplish certain goals in that specialization, but it usually causes problems because it's not integrated. And I think architecture is beginning to recognize that that model is broken and needs to be more interdisciplinary and there needs to be more collaboration and teamwork across different disciplines. So for example, a couple of architects in the book — Stephen Kieran with KieranTimberlake Associates, Bert Gregory with Mithun — have hired graduates of the [Yale] School of Forestry & Environmental Studies, without architecture degrees but who have a strong interest in design.
: You've recently started an investment firm with an environmental orientation. Are there companies that you have just shunned because they don't get biophilia and biophilic design, and are there other companies that you embrace?
: I wish it were so. Our firm has a focus on environment and a focus on investment, on environmental investment. I've found out that the investment side has a capital letter and the environmental side is a lower case letter. I think we've partially done it, but not as much as I would like.
: So you sound like if we're talking about the outlook for biophilic design for the next five or 10 years, maybe cautiously optimistic?
: I do think that we're going to moving more and more in that direction, especially as the evidence becomes more demonstrative that this is not just an amenity value — pretty but not important. Everyone's looking for an edge, everyone's looking for a gain, that's one thing that I've found in my foray into the economic world, is that competitive advantage in distinguishing your firm is so critical. And I think as it becomes clear that this gives you a competitive edge, you'll see an accelerating implementation.
: You moved into a building [at the Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies] just recently that was designed and built with nature in mind. Has it changed things for you?
: Definitely, and I'll give you an example. We had a conference up in the third floor, and it was celebrating the legacy of Aldo Leopold who is one of the iconic figures in the environmental field, and it was a dark stormy day, heavy rainfall, and people loved being in that room. You had the refuge of the room, but you had the prospect and enjoyment of looking out at nature. You felt like there was this dialogue between inside and outside that was so stimulating, affirmative. Certainly for the occupants of the building, the users of the building, there appears to be a tremendously positive reception, not just because it's more energy efficient, but because people really like to be there. And to me that will be the motivation to sustain the building, because the technology comes and goes in terms of how efficient it is. Ten years from now, technology we put in there to make it energy efficient will be eclipsed by far more sophisticated technology. But whether people will maintain that building and modernize the building and restore it will be because they really love the space.
: Because the connection to nature is there…
: I'm convinced of it.

So is aesthetic design a sustainable design strategy? You seem to imply yes. Why haven't the sustainable building rating systems (such as LEED) focused in on this? Is it deemed to be stifling creativity by requiring certain aesthetic features. I agree that people are molded by their environment, for the good or bad. We need to move forward and recognize that some sustainable design strategies are actually working against a strong aesthetic, such as requiring cheap renewable materials. Aesthetics needs its place in our discussions.
Posted by Brian Trimble on 15 Sep 2009
I think there is a place for electrical lighting strategies in this discussion. And I agree wholeheartedly with Mr. Trimble - that aesthetic design issues should be on a par with other "green" design discussions and rating systems - otherwise we will end up with bland, static, cold fluorescent and LED lighting -- rather than active transformational lightplay -- in both interior and exterior public spaces.

Unfortunately, Beijing is fighting an inexorable trend. China, where coal is king, has been building one new coal-fired plant a week for years, just trying to keep up with its rapidly growing economy. The coal-powered capacity that China has added in the past five years exceeds that of all the U.S. coal power plants combined.
China's momentum is frightening, with coal consumption rushing toward being nearly three times higher than it was in 2000.
This shouldn't surprise anyone. After all, China consumes nearly as much coal as the rest of the world combined, according to the Department of Energy's EIA.
China's coal demand averaged 9% per year from 2000 to 2010, more than double the global growth rate of 4% and significantly higher than global growth excluding China, which averaged only 1%, according to the EIA.

Bell bottoms and oversized collars from the 1970s might strike some as kitschy, but the concept of an urban electric vehicle pioneered by UK-based Enfield during the early part of that decade remains current. With Nissan starting production of its all-electric Leaf in Sunderland in the UK earlier this year, the BBC recounts the brief history of a car that it says was ahead of its time.

Lea Michele's Talks Pregnancy Rumor and Food Porn Obsession on 'Leno' (Video)
Michele dishes to the late night talk show host about a few of her favorite things.
In her own words, Glee star Lea Michele has finally made it. What pushed the singing sensation over the top? She's had a fake pregnancy rumor.
"I really felt like I finally made it. Having your first fake pregnancy rumor. It was really awesome," Michele told Jay Leno on Monday night. "I feel like it's part of what happens in this business, but that's a real one. That's a cool one to get. You're in."
PHOTOS: Glee's Season 4 Premiere Party
The native New Yorker also talked about her love of food and cooking. Michele, an avid cook, admitted her obsession with the show Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. "It's like porno. It's food porno," Michele said.
"That's going to be the next rumor. Lea's obsessed with porno."
Perhaps the highlight of the interview was a story Michele told about a recent spray tanning mishap involving a manager's dog.
After getting a spray tan, (because "the sun's bad, apparently") the native New Yorker went into the studio to work on her upcoming solo album (her first). During a break, a manager's dog jumped onto her lap and it went downhill after that.
"[The manager] went over to pick up the dog and the dog peed all over me, which wouldn't have been so bad," Michele said. "Because I didn't wipe off the spray tan yet it left pee streaks all over my legs for days. I had these zebra stripe pee marks on my legs."
"That's so much better than going out in the sun for 20 minutes," Leno joked.

Watch Huey Morgan Smash A Mug On "Buzzcocks" Before Doing A Preston And Storming Off
For a Fun Lovin' Criminal, he seems really quite grumpy.
1. So Huey Morgan apparently doesn't like the Next Lines round on Nevermind The Buzzcocks.
He seemed to take offence at the hosts, Rizzle Kicks, asking him about his own lyrics, in the same way the every musician who's been on the show has been for the past 20 years.
3. To be fair, Rizzle Kicks kicks handled Huey's little incident like pros.
Who knows, maybe they'll realise they're so good at presenting that they'll give up the music?! A guy can dream.
4. Apparently, he doesn't roll like a punk. We know this because he said he doesn't roll like a punk.
5. Then he decided threatening the hosts would probably be the best way out of it.
7. Which would be more convincing if he hadn't just smashed a mug.
8. And his two teammates didn't really have the faces of two people who thought he was joking.
Excellent eyebrow raise, Phil.
9. Of course Noel Fielding and teammate Paul Foot then decided to have a little mug fun themselves.
10. In the end it all got a but much for poor old Huey.
11. But we all know who the true victim of this whole thing was.

V & A Waterfront, Cape Town
68 Reviews
68 Reviews
Maybe the biggest shopping place in Capetown.
But watch the locals - dancing on SA rythm music.
bet you will dance with them - in a short time!
Best shopping place - and different cuite restaurants and bars - with an exceptional view on the table mountain ! - and a BELGIAN pub/restaurant called "De Anker"
You can see seals lying on the boats and piers at the V & A. But don't get too close - remember they are still wild animals!
You can find impromptu concerts everywhere in South Africa. The African people have such resonant voices. This was at the V & A and my daughter decided to get up and join in!
You shouldn't miss V& A Waterfront especially during New Year's day. Its fun going around there doing souvenir shopping and watching the parade.
Apart from shops and restaurants there is alot to see here, Boats, seals, yachts, people watching, and it is a great vantage point to see the "tablecloth"
The big wheel has been erected for the 2010 world cup, so not sure how long it will be up and running for. the cost is R80 for 15 minutes.
Catch the local entertainment at the V&A waterfront.
Impromptu street bands and choral groups often perform for spare change on the weekends.

Is my plan good?
Ok. My husband is in his mid30s and I am 30. My husband cannot wait to retire so he could do what he likes to do. I like my job. Both of us earn good money. We both max our 401. We both work in health care and see a lot of people who saved and waited for retirement to travel but they end up with sickness or bad knees and are not able to walk and enjoy retirement or traveling. This is my propasal to my hubby. Pay of our house in the next 7-8 yrs. No credit cards here. Earn and save for 3-4 yrs. Resign from work or work only 9 months a year and travel and have fun. After travelling or getting bored with life on the road my hubby can stay off from work if he wants but I plan to go back to work full time until I am 70 or too old to drive. What is wrong with this picture?
Well, not knowing if you're independently wealthy or not I'll offer a short true story...
My sister and her husband decided they were tired of the rat race and wanted to 'live' off the land... They both gave up great jobs, he worked for an airline manufacture ( white collar job ) and she was a psychiatric technician at a big California state hospital... They quit work, sold the house ( for $250,000. ) and everything in it and bough a $50,000. farm in Kansas... That was 20 years ago... Today the money is all gone, he delivers newspapers for a living and she puts the advertisements in the papers... He has another 5 years before he can start collecting his pension and social security, she has 8.
We are not independently weatlthy at all. My question is why can;t both of them get the same job that they were doing or something close before they took the jump? My hubby and I are both physical therapists and our job is currently in demand. I think it will be more in demand the next couple of years with baby boomers retiring. I plan to just take maybe 1-2 yrs off from work. 3 yrs at most. More than they I probably will get tired of travelling instead of enjoying it.
A short hiatus in an "in demand" field probably wouldn't harm you at this stage of life. It doesn't hurt to plan for it and if it doesn't work out then the worst that will have happened is that your house is paid off and you have money in the bank. My daughter and her husband have stressful, high paying careers and they are planning an early retirement. They plan to have everything paid for, and then spend some of their time managing their portfolios and rental houses and work a little at Starbucks if that seems like fun. I think they will be fine. My daughter is in sales and I don't think a good salesperson is ever out of work. I'll bet the same is true of physical therapists so long as you don't let your skills get too rusty.
On the flip side, I always had a terrible time finding work after taking time off for kids or something, but that is because I was in a field that changed quickly and my skills became obsolete almost overnight.
They moved from a big city in California to a town of 3000 in Kansas, there are no jobs there... They thought their T-Bills and the profit from selling the house would be enough to hold them until they started collecting their pensions and SS but it wasn't...
Taking a couple of years off shouldn't be a problem for you and your hubby but I wouldn't count on retiring at 40 then going back to work when you get bored... You never know what tomorrow will bring... A year ago I could do anything anyone half my age could do, today it takes me 2 minutes to go up or down one flight of stairs...
Will you make enough money working only 9 months a year to pay for health and dental insurance and the property taxes & home repairs and appliances and the car insurance & repairs and the house insurance & repairs and food and clothes and whatever else... Once you get used to a certain style of living it's really hard to cut back to less than what you had before... You must conceder all that before giving up what you have now...
I made the mistake of telling hubby it was ok for him to 'retire' 12 years ago, from a $62K a year white collar job... He's now working for $10 an hour greasing big trucks... He resents the fact that I can no long work and he is still working, he doesn't really have to... He's turned into a very angry tight fisted person who I no longer know...
Whatever you choose I wish you good luck...
Oh Rita, you were serious about your "cranky old buzzard". That has to be so hard. I am so spoiled.
My husband has supported my working and supported my staying home. His dad was a good negative example and my husband adored his mother whose health was severely comromised from the stress of living with her husband. I tease him about becoming a crazy old man, mostly because he now has the time to fund his hobby of collecting antique guns, joing the NRA, and target shooting. I am a dyed in the wool liberal Democrat, so you see the problem. It saves us money because we rarely make political contributions so as not to cancel each other out.
I hope things improve for you when your husband decides it is okay to retire again.
I'm not seeing in your plan where your income will be derived when you're not working. It's probably going to take more money than you think to live and travel for a number of years. Also, you really shouldn't tap into your 401k as it will mess up your future earnings.
We retired when I was 39 at the peak of the stock market boom only to have the market plunge. We did not go back to work, but started a cabin rental business in the town where we retired. It's worked out o.k. for us - but we work harder now than we ever did. Now we're planning for our next retirement!
Have you looked into owning rental property to provide an income?
Maxing out your 401(k) is a good idea in general, but if you're only 30 you won't be able to touch that money for a long time without penalty.
So the problem is going to be: (1) How much can you save up? (2) How are you going to invest it to have a reasonable chance of getting the returns you need? With answers to those questions, it might be possible to dig deeper.
Here's a rule of thumb for you: Take the amount of money you want to spend per year and multiply it by 25. If you have that much in savings, you can spend what you planned each year, more or less, increasing it to keep pace with inflation, and have a pretty good chance of never running out during your lifetime.
Don't forget to factor in the loss of value of your dollar-denominated asset annually due to the depradations of inflation.
ole joyful
P.S. I envy your husband, if you're willing to work till you're old nd decrepit ...
... to keep him in the style to which he has become accustomed.
You wouldn't happen to know where I might be able to find someone like you - with a few more miles on her odometer?
