doing a thesis project based on hort therapy,please give some fee
Hello everyone,
I am student at the University of Illinois and I am majoring in industrial design. Everysummer I help out with landscaping and for my design thesis I wanted to do something dealing with horticulture. I decided to try and do something with horticulture therapy and base it on that.
I've been trying to do some research to see what kind of products are out there.And i've been asking a few people in wheelchairs who like to garden. I wish there were an accessible garden around but there isn't :( .
Well , for my thesis I wanted to design a type of gardening table/raised bed table that would be easily assembled and put togehter by a person in a wheelchair. The people who i talked to said that they like raised beds but the problem is that they have to have someone come and build it for them. So i wanted to design a table/raised bed that would be very lightweight pretty much preassembled and so that it folded up easily so that they could buy it themselves and do it themselves. I have not found anything out there like that.
just wanted to know if you guys thought it was a good idea or if you guys know if similar things, i can explain more if I wasnt clear enought
thank you !
Just my opinion...
It would be wonderful if something like that existed, but it would be difficult to imagine: if it were lightweight and easy to assemble, how sturdy could it be? Soak some one-cubic-foot bags of potting soil and lift them. They're awfully heavy. Adding quality nutrients via compost would add to the weight. I just don't see how it could be done.
But if you could do it, I would hope that nursing homes would be the first ones in line to buy them. That is usually an agonizingly boring existence.
OTOH, don't let me stop you. My first boss was a veterinarian. He was amazed when someone told him that cats bitten by rattlesnakes couldn't be saved. He said if he had know that before, he probably wouldn't have saved them.
Hi--I hope this response doesn't come too late and that you're still checking this forum. I have a garden from CelluGro that might be what you're looking for. It's 2'x4' with a sturdy (and reasonably attractive) plastic exterior. Inside it has a set of nylon (I think) strips that divide the garden into cells. Mine is sitting on a frame that my dad built, but it can also be purchased with a wheelchair accessible stand.
I've had the garden for almost a year now and can grow enough produce for at least one healthy-sized serving of veggies a day. I have CFS and fibromyalgia, so I'm not really looking for wheelchair-type accessibility--it's more about minimizing the energy it takes to do vegetable gardening. I have to say, it's pretty amazing. Watering and "digging" are a breeze, there's no weeding, and I don't have to kneel, bend down, or anything--I've been *super* impressed with how much I can grow with minimal effort (maybe 10 minutes a day max). While I use it for veggies, it would also work for flowers or whatever, though maybe not perennials for more than a couple of years.
The biggest downside is the price, which is pretty steep. I've been assured that they last for years, though. Mine ended up falling about 2' from the temporary jerry-rigged frame I was using before my dad came to the rescue (bless you, Dad!), and it didn't suffer any damage at all, so they really are pretty strong.
CelluGro makes other size gardens, too--4'x4' or larger. Those have a soft vinyl exterior which is less attractive but pretty lightweight, though anything over 4x4 wouldn't be very practical for a stand, I wouldn't think, just from the sheer weight of the soil and water. No assembly is required, except to clamp the nylon cells to the frame prior to filling the garden with soil. As I understand it, these gardens were created with input by Hank Bruce, who is pretty big in the horticultural therapy field (and probably others, but Hank's the one I know about).
I'm so sorry if I sound like I'm making a sales pitch! I just really love this garden. I would *never* be growing peas, chard, 4 other types of greens, chives, carrots, beets, radishes, onions, and garlic (not to mention eggplant, tomatilloes, beans, etc., which are just waiting for all the spring things to wind down) without something like this to make it easy--all I would do is maybe a tomato or two in pots.
Hope that gives you a useful direction to look in, at any rate.

Latest Lobectomy Stories
A new study by thoracic surgeons and pathologists at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center shows that a specific pattern found in the tumor pathology of some lung cancer patients is a strong predictor of recurrence.
Singapore, Feb 23, 2011 - (ACN Newswire) - The National Heart Centre Singapore (NHCS) recently completed the first robotic-assisted lobectomy in Southeast Asia. For the very first time in the region, the diseased lobe of a lung was removed using a sophisticated robotic system - the Da Vinci Si Dual.
There's debate about the best treatment approach for patients with certain stages of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), which accounts for about 80 percent of all lung cancers.
Caudate hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has a poorer prognosis than HCC originating from other lobes, due to its proximity to the portal trunk and inferior vena cava, which facilitate intrahepatic and systemic spread early in the disease.
Research published in February's edition of the Journal of Thoracic Oncology investigates the utilization of surgery and the subsequent need for radiotherapy (RT) when treating stage I small cell lung cancer (SCLC).

All India Radio (AIR), Berhampur, organised a folk music and dance concert at Aska on Sunday evening to showcase the folk art forms of Ganjam district. It was also an effort of the AIR to have archival recordings of the rare folk art forms for the next generation.
The concert was named 'Vasant Utsav' as a mark of welcome to spring. AIR Deputy Director-General Sudha Mishra attended the concert as the chief guest.
It may be noted that most of the folk art forms have survived till date due to patronage of the rural populace.
Highlight of the concert was performance of 'Dhumpa' by Aditya Kumar Patra's troupe from Digaphandi area. 'Dhumpa' performances have become a rarity. But 'Dhumpa' is a part of Oriya literary and cultural history. 'Dhumpa' was designed by Odia poet Kavisurya Baladev Ratha (1779-1845) who was born in Ganjam district. He was also great Sanskrit scholar, singer and administrator. He was a multifarious personality who had also developed 'Dhumpa' to accompany the lyrical satires written by him. 'Dhumpa' is a specially designed long hollow decorated bamboo cylinder. The 'Kathias' beat the 'Dhumpa' to produce unique rhythmic sound.
This musical instrument used to accompany the singing of lyrical satires of Kavisurya in the past. The AIR would also make archival recording of this 'Dhumpa' recital.
During the folk festival, there were performances of several Leela forms of folk theatre of Ganjam district. They included Bharat Leela by Santosh Kumar Padhi's troupe from Mahanalla, Ram Leela by Shyamsundar Panigrahi's party from Pratapgiri, and Krushna Leela by Somanath Swain's troupe from Bada Pankalbadi.
These Leela folk theatre performances are very long and at times their complete performance takes several days to complete. So, the troupes had chosen important portions of their long theatrical form to perform for a short time on the stage.
The troupe led by Ladukishore Sethi from Burupada performed Oshakothi. Oshakothi is a ritualistic folk art form which is usually held in villages to pray and please goddess Mangala, the presiding deity of the village. This folk music and dance concert began with welcome song by senior folk singers and Jodi Sankha performance by the troupe of Rajendra Prasad Patra's from Badakusasthali.
AIR authorities, Berhampur, said since past several years they were making efforts to save and preserve performing folk art forms of Ganjam district.

RATINGS: 22 MEAN: 3.1/5.0 WEIGHTED AVG: 3.03 SEASONAL: Autumn EST. CALORIES: 177 ABV: 5.9%
In a hazy golden hue reminiscent of the morning sun rising up above Mount Fuji, Japan Tale Ale presents itself immediately as a Japanese story. The pure white head of billowy foam hints at the fabled origins of this great island country -- the Sun Goddess, Amaterasu. The sophisticatedly understated aroma of tart Japanese plums speaks of the history of the Imperial Court as it might have existed in the ancient city of Kyoto during the Heian era. The light, almost ephemeral delicacy of flavor tips its hat to the storied history of the Japanese artisan (the potters and the swordmakers, the flower arrangers and the Geisha performers). Beneath this delicacy, though, there exists a flavor character of strength and steely determination that tells of the history of the great Japanese warriors -- the Samurai. An overriding sense of balance and unselfish purpose serves to tie the tale together as if somehow echoing the essence of an informally yet unmistakably united national polity.

Bills...higher than I thought. Fess up, what do you pay?
We are entering our second month of summer here in OK, and also our second month in our home. It is 835 sq feet- and the electricity bill is set to be around $125-$150.
We can see our power usage from the elect co on a daily and hourly basis. We use about 5 cents per hour, but when the AC is on its about 50 cents per hour.
Pair that with the fact it will reach 110 today, the AC runs allot, esp at 2-9pm. I turned the AC up to 82 and we saved about $2 per day ($60 a month!) but I work from home and that was miserable. So I now have it set to 80 day, 76 at night and we are back up to the $5 a day mark.
I sleep in only a sheet- I am a really hot sleeper so upping the AC at night is not possible- and it only runs about 2 times anyways. The lows are in the 80s with high humidity so opening the windows makes things worse.
I guess I thought that our bill would be like $50 or something. Any one else shocked at how their bills are? Does any one live in a comparibly sized home in a hot area like me? What are your bills?
you in TX? hi humidity isn't here in AZ!
mine from last month, due now is 140.00. not a surprise. I have about 1400 sq ft. I expect it to be much more this next month. pushing 200.00 at least.
we've had unusually hot temps for a long time this yr. and early in the season!
I checked my inside gauge and and it was about 82 earlier. I don't like really cold either - so it's fine to me. If I were working up a sweat mopping or painting etc I'd get it down more.
Our 900 sft cabin bill is about $160 this past month. I say about since we are on budget billing and the current bill is higher than actual use so Georgia Power can get the bill adjusted to something that works over a 12 month span (it started off too low). I am a bit surprised as to how high the bill is. I expected it to be lower.
We haven't seen very many days in the 90's yet, so I expect it to go higher. My husband works from home and can't really tolerate heat, so it's set to 75 during the day.
On 90+ degree days, our upstairs loft area is really hot. I've thought about installing a window fan to suck the hot air out, but have yet to find one that will allow me to close it off so once the hot air is out, there isn't air seepage coming in from outside.
Ok I can't really help you too much with my house. We just got air last august so we haven't really had a full hot month with air conditioning. I checked my history and last august I paid $65.00. Our house is a raised ranch with 1000 square feet up and 1000 square feet in the "Basement". We try and keep the vents closed downstairs as we are never down there and its relatively cool anyway. However, DH used to share a house with his brother years ago and when Dh left his brother never took the electric out of his name so his brothers electric bill still shows up in our account. Last summer they paid $217 in august and $171 in July and $141 in June. We are in Chicago and last summer was really hot and really humid. That house, however, is almost 3000 square feet,built in the 1930's, and his wife stays home all day (they have 3 small children) and she was pregnant last summer so I know they were running the air constantly. So comparing it to that your bill does seem high. Our rates are 4.5 cents per/kilowatt hr.
We are paying about $45.00 a month for summer. We do use a swamp cooler which does not work in humid areas. it does not cost much more than a fan to run. We are 108 right now on the front porch in the sun. EEEEEKKKKKKK About 80 in the house. Feels comfortable.
Our winter heating bill can run to $250.00 with forced air heat. So we get the big electric use in winter. We are about 1375 SQ FT.
the new bill is already 260.00! yikes! It's for last month and I think most of the month was 105 or more each day.
This is a very hot wk also. It says it'll be up to 117 tomorrow. we'll see tho. It's 8 pm here now and 100.
My winter bills run about 40-50.00.
Angie - did they deregulate the electric companies in OK? If they did check to see if there is another company offering a cheaper rate in your area. Our rates were higher a few years ago but now that there are more companies our town contracted with one of them to offer the 4.5 cent rate, we are also able to shop other companies if we like. Just beware of companies charging a cancellation fee or something similar to that. We still get the bill from the same company we always had but the portion of the bill that is the actual electricity is a different company.
nope, we only have two companies. City, and rural. City electric has a smart hours program- its highly confusing. you get a high rate from 2-7pm, You are supposed to use less power then, and use more power outside of those hours, which has a variable rate, depending on demand and temperature. They guarantee you will save money. But since I work from home I use electricity during the peak hours so it won't save us. I did get a peek at the past 12 months before we moved in and it seems this house has always paid that much in the summer. I really envy those with bigger houses and smaller bills. you must be paying less pkwh than us. It was 110 the other day, we will have a summer of 110-115. But we are getting a cooler spell next week. Oklahoma summers are brutal.
A lot depends on how well the house is insulated, both the walls and the roof.
A lot depends on how much heat gets into the house. Shade trees help. Closing curtains and blinds helps. Outside blinds or awnings help. Upgrading the windows can help.
Getting the A/C checked over could help--sometimes it's as simple as a new filter or recharging the coolant.
And part of it is just that right now, half the country seems to be having a terrible heat wave.
Here is a link that might be useful: check your a/c
I agree with camlan. I'm in hot, humid FL with 1100 sf and all my windows are old bent sliding doors that don't seal well, and my bill never goes over $80 in the hottest month, running the AC 24/7 and with a LOT of computer equipment always in use for my work.
It used to be much higher, but I had the AC serviced and the old fridge replaced (but with the biggest energy hog in its class, I might add) and the bill dropped dramatically. You may need to start thinking about replacing your A/C unit. Look around to see what energy rebates are available where you are.
EDIT forgot to say my current bill was $58 for 537 kwh.

Suggest an energy audit, sometimes free through your city or there are some DIY instructions online. Do you have storm windows? Indoor/outdoor sealant check. I'll let you check the rest online. Or maybe the Old House Forum has suggestions. Although they don't consider your house age old there.
My house is 1100 with original double hung wood windows, but all with double hung outside storm windows and the opening to the attic is in the garage. That opening can be a hog if not sealed within a house. I also added insulation strips around the doors.
Plus suggestions Camlan made. I was surprised at how much heat my TV emitted, it was a large plasma and too hot to sit by, almost glad when it died.
My electric was 50 for the month. But I'm in an area where it can get 90 during the day and down to 50/60 at night. So my usage is different than yours. My guess is if I lived in your location, the gas/electric would be the same as you are seeing. I keep an indoor fan going early morning and evening to bring in the cool air and then close up during the day. AC if I need it is turned on around 4pm and off at 7. The computer is on all day as is the dumb TV, but use it half the time for my computer screen.
It is water here that can get high, I'm xeriscaped and manage this carefully. Winter is the furnace which I keep fairly low. All together an average of 160 per mo. I can't figure out the kw prices, there are 4 different charges with an access charge of 28.
This may be a dumb question. But I have quit using my programmed auto on for furnace and air. Just turn it on when needed, usually 5-10 degrees difference to warm or cool. Does it cost more to do this than letting auto do it's thing? I got tired of hearing the unit come on for a 1 degree difference. Although my average bill has not changed for 8 years.
Am in a mixed neighborhood with small homes to mansions. Someone told me the large homes with wall to wall grass costs more than 1,000 for outdoor water and many even more. Water here is the most expensive utility, but can you imagine what the rest of their utilities run?
Suggest an energy audit, sometimes free through your city or there are some DIY instructions online.
Or your electric company may offer this. Ours does.
Another thing to look into is whether smart meters are available in your area. We were forced into them here and I'd really rather not have one, but I must say that one good thing is that my bill went down a fair amount (despite a small rate increase at the time) once the meter was sending accurate information all the time with no estimating by the meter readers anymore.
technicolor and here our water is insanely low. 50K gallons ,Yes correct not typo, for $16.00 a month. go over that to 75K gallons add $2.50. Over that and it is $.50 a 1000 gallons.
I like cheep water but this is so crazy and some day there is going to be a big crash in the water system.
Even with the cheep water we try not to waste it. We do have a half acre and about 1/3 of that is in lawn. I would love a more natural landscape. Here is it either lawn or constant spraying because of the neighbors weeds on the hill beside us. When we bought the place there were thistles taller than we are. :^(
Writer, thanks for editing me. I meant the utility company. Why were you against the Smart meters? They installed mine about 3 years ago, but didn't think anything about it other than no more dog alert calls from the utility company.
Although the insulation is original and never changed, this little house is well encapsulated and holds on to it's warmth in winter and cool in summer. I think this is because of larger wall thickness (plaster plus) and the storm windows.
Idaho, where does your water come from? I had a new home with a well and thought it was going to be a great savings. My electricity went up big time because it was needed to run the well. No savings on water. You are really in great shape with the lower cost and enjoying gardening.
The homeowner I mentioned before with high water bill is publicly fuming. They are charging him double for going over the minimum use. 2 - 3 thousand a month?
This has been a very good education on utilities. First time I actually read the fine print on my bill. And interesting how it works around the country. Read that electricity cost goes up between 4 and 7 here . which I never knew. Does not using electricity during this time make a big difference? Of course this is when most people are using more. I could easily start the AC around 2 and close up the house. Same with the furnace in winter, not use it during those hours since the house maintains it's temp for quite a while.
For water we pay an access fee and a separate water runoff/waste water fee based on the size of lot. No rain barrels are allowed.
110 degrees? I have an old friend who lives in Las Vegas and it's HOT there. I could never survive that kind of heat.
He keeps telling me "it's a dry heat". Yeah, so's a pizza oven!
I think you can tell I can't stand the heat. I live in Vermont where summer temps usually get into the low 80s. And winter temps can go to minus 30 once or twice.
>Why were you against the Smart meters?
They cause wifi interference with things like ipads in the corner of the house nearest the meter, which means it must be putting out a heck of a signal, for one thing.
Also, and this is relevant to your question about high-use times, I'm quite sure the main reason they are being put in is to make it easier to switch to a billing system where the price goes way up during high-use times. For now, FPL, our local utility, offers a deal to users who agree to let them put in software that cuts their ability to use lots of power during those times, but I expect this to become mandatory in the near future. Right now, folks who sign up for that program get a significant discount for joining, but I don't anticipate that lasting very long.
We live in Midvale Idaho. Small town. The water comes from an artesian well. No storage or purification so no chlorine. which is nice. Pumping costs minimal for the city.
We have several houses on wells. It does cost to pump the water. Probable more than the $16.00 we pay per month now. Course we have always had acreage until this house.
We also have a smart meter. I have read they are supposed to transfer data at 3AM and this is supposed to be waking people up in the night??? We do have WIFI here and the router is about 14 foot from the smart meter. I have not noticed a problem but I am not sure what to look for.
"here our water is insanely low. 50K gallons ,Yes correct not typo, for $16.00 a month. go over that to 75K gallons add $2.50. Over that and it is $.50 a 1000 gallons. "
wow. I pay 30.00 for 1,000 gal. (can get 2,000 for 45.00). my regular tank holds 1500 - that's the one I regularly fill up. I have a back up tank (gravity feed) that I use in the summer (watering any plants). It doesn't use the pump. I can also use it if my pump goes out - and have for an outdoor shower (cold in the winter/ scalding in the summer tho).
Most of the yr I only get the 1000 gals tho. In summer I might put a few thousand in the back up tank for outdoor use.
My water is in an above ground tank so in the summer here it is hot coming in! I had Jed turn the hot water heater back to 90 yesterday. Today I'll see how that works for a shower. The last shower I took was a very quick one - the water was so hot and there was no cold to cool it down!
We do have a msart meter. Usage last week was 257 kwh. Does that seem high?
The weather has been over 100 every day, low arounf 85 at night.
Just a reminder, we pay 10-11 cets pkwh
We have asked our utility co for a free duct works inspection and AC inspection.
we didn't sign up for the smart hours because it seems fishy to us. It is a year commitment- and they want us to install a thermostat that they can restrict how much energy we use in peak times. Also, the cost of electricity varies too much.
Regarding the shade trees, we have em!
Did I mention we got an energy report? We saw that our bills were comparable to the past tennants 12 month history. Our utility bill states we are using about the average amount of energy compared to other homes this size in our zip code.
The fact that people have much larger homes than us with lower bills really makes me wonder.
But we JUST bought the house, and it was inspected by 3 different people- all said the AC was fine, insulation was fine- yes we need new windows at some point but there were no obvious energy leaks of major.
Could it just be that we pay more per KWH than other people in the country, and that is why our bill seems so high compared to others?
There has been so much information posted it is hard to make direct comparisions- so far I don't think I have heard from any one in a comparable climate and house size.
I think I addressed everything that was posted. Sorry if I missed something....Thanks everyone for your input so far!!!
Angie, it could be what you say--that the cost of electricity is just higher where you are.
But--when a house is being sold, the inspection just looks at things to make sure they are working. It is possible that your A/C unit could use an overhaul, or maybe is old and could be replaced by a more energy efficient unit.
The fact that you are home all day also factors into this--during the time many people would raise the temperature a bit higher, you actually need it lower, because you are in the house during the hottest part of the day. So your neighbor might be able to raise the temperature to 85 or 90 during the day, but you need to keep it at 80.
And don't forget that you are in the middle of a nasty heat wave.
My costs won't compare--I have two window A/C units that, combined, add about $60 to my monthly electric bill for June, July and August. It doesn't get as hot here in New England, but it sure does get humid--today it's 81 outside, but with 95% humidity, it feels like it's over 90.
> Usage last week was 257 kwh. Does that seem high?
Well, as I said in a previous post I used 537 last month, for the whole month. I don't think mine has ever gone over 600 here, and daily temps in the high 90s are usual in August/Sept.
Of course, it depends on so many things. I have a friend who lives in a house a tad larger than mine, but it was built back in the 1920s and he's not willing to let the original windows go, so accepts a $600 a month bill.
thanks writer for answering.
I didn't think about their being able to upcharge with the new meters. How secretive to install and use this way. Now I wonder how much electricity the new meter uses and if it actually goes along with 4-7 pm higher rates, meter running more too.As for interference, mine is on the garage and not sure if it is a problem.
Does your electric company offer a Budget Plan, whereby your monthly payment is set at a fixed amount based on the average of your past 12 months usage? At least that eliminates summer-month surprises.
The downside is that in our area you can't sign up for that until you have had a full 12 months of electric use in that particular house.
> Now I wonder how much electricity the new meter uses and if it actually goes along with 4-7 pm higher rates, meter running more too.
Well, as for the electricity usage, my bill has actually gone down quite a bit since it was installed, so I doubt it uses more than a regular meter. It is constantly monitoring your usage, so there would be no difference in the amount of power it draws at different times of day.
As an older person who can remember privacy, that's another thing I find creepy about smart meters--they know when you're there, when you're not, when you cook dinner, etc. from your usage patterns, but if you're under 30 you probably don't find that a concern at all.
they have agreed to let us do average billing, and we are still considering it. I do have a smart meter- and I see allot of people have concerns about it. I am not aware of health effects of smart meters, can someone please explain that? The privacy issue, I fully agree with.
Well, for what it's worth, here's a big ol' list of all the things they've tried to blame on smart meters--note that it's a site devoted to hysteria about EMFs of all sorts, so I'm not saying I agree with it, just that these are the issues people are complaining about.
Here is a link that might be useful: smart meter health issues
thanks for the link. I checked it out. Allot of non specific symptoms that could be attributed to something else, or could just be associations made by people (some of them are clearly imbalanced) but THEN again, high voltage power lines- I had the pleasure to stand under one while travelling in Yosemite and it was buzzing. I felt really really uncomfortable under that power line and started to think maybe there is something to all this....
2000 sf ranch in south florida. pool. 2 fridges. solar hot water heater, 3 computers running constantly, in summer we keep temps at about 77 and in winter it's set for 60. highest bills in summer used to be $600. updated roof, windows, replaced old fridges. insulated the attic over garage. not much change. Biggest reduction came after we updated the a/c. and reduced pool pump from 6 hours/day to about 2 hours /day. now our high bills are mid $200s in summer lows are about $125
1,000 sq ft hot humid louisiana
summer utility bills 35.00 plus utility light @ $10 per month
.08 per kwh.
winter time utility bills were never over $45.
2 ton heat pump with vs air handler unit,
whole house dehumidifier..that I hardly
ever use as vs ahu keeps RH around 53%.
I've done a lot of air sealing of the house
put ductwork inside conditioned space.
378kwh used for June.
rather than a free energy audit you might invest
in an independent. remember that utilitiy co want
you to save 10-15%, but 30%+ is average savings
of energy rating.
smart meters aren't offered by my small utility
when I first bought the house with window a/c
& propane heat utility costs were $250 average.
just to give you an idea what you can diy once
you know where the air & duct leaks are & how
to address them
best of luck.
And interesting how it works around the country. Read that electricity cost goes up between 4 and 7 here . which I never knew. Does not using electricity during this time make a big difference? ABSOLUTELY!
Check the fine print even further, and you may find that they bill on "peak load" and using more than XX KWH during this peak time can bump your entire bill up to premium rates.
We have the "peak load" billing in AZ, with hours between noon and 7PM as the peak time and bought a timer for the water heater (backup to solar) to guarantee it won't come on during those hours. And I get all laundry done before noon, because the dryer is electric.
The thermostat is programmed around the peak load times to keep the house coolish.
I've been observing the effects of various changes to another house - it's atypical because it's 1880s and adobe, with metal roof, but ...
Adding a shadescreen to the utility room's east window dropped the temperatures in there by 10 degrees, and it's the unheated and uncooled part of the house.
Adding a shadescreen to the east-facing kitchen window changed it from sweltering at 9AM to less so (it has no AC ducts because of the way the roofs, plural, are over that part of the building).
Adding shadescreens to the west-facing office bath window means it's not an oven by 5PM.
Less effect in the LR and DR, because they face the house next door and there is dappled shade, but adding the shadescreens makes it more comfortable in the AM. Less heat buildup and glare.
We had typical old insulation, a few inched of rock wool or something. Insulating to R-38 or as close as the roofing structure would allow ... the utility room is even cooler because it's not getting heat from the metal roof glowing down on it. Cost was about $1800 (estimated payback time The main house no longer has a ceiling that radiates warmth all night because the roof can't heat up the plaster.
Net result: keeping the 1700+ square foot house air conditioned last month, which was hotter than usual, cost a whopping $95.
Because it's dry, and because the early morning temps can be in the mid-60s, we do open the house and let all that free coolth in until outside temp is close to the desired indoor temp. And it airs the house out.
Did I mention we got an energy report? We saw that our bills were comparable to the past tennants 12 month history. Our utility bill states we are using about the average amount of energy compared to other homes this size in our zip code.
and the energy report came from utility company?
of course your bills will be comperable. consider the
source of info.
utility info is biased to favor utility co. same with the
audits they provide...10-15% savings max as compared
to 30%+ with independent evaluation.
my clients save 50% on average once my recommendations are completed and work is
verified & tested.
without blower door & duct testing...it is just a guess
as to where the house/ducts/returns leak.
air sealing is the best savings. cheap to do, immediate results..long term benefit depending upon the life of the sealant (use caulk..expands contracts unlike foams)
duct sealing next best savings. average homes have
30% duct loss. a bucket of mastic & a morning spent
sealing ducts also has long term benefit with immeidate results.
beating the heat before it enters the house trumps changing windows & doors. awnings, plantings, and solar screens.
once the heat is inside..then you pay to cool it.
the down side to 'average billing' is that at the end of the averaged cycle, you pay the amount you went over the average. for some people this can be a real problem.
never insulate before air sealing. insulation filters air
it doesn't stop it. only foam insulation stops air leakage
and insulates. not great stuff...
best of luck.

Hi, we have an update. My husband crawled under the house and checked ALL the ductwork, it looks in very good shape, and there were no leaks anywhere.
I think the issue we have, and that people are not understanding, is our particular weather. Yes, your bills might be significantly lower than ours- even with a larger house.
But consider the fact that we have LOWS in the 80's. And it is humid. Very very humid. And the highs are over 100. In August, WELL over 100. As in 117, with a heat index of 125. Only two summers ago, OK had the hottest summer on record, of any state, at any time.
We reach temperatures hotter than death valley, hotter than the sahara.
I can only dream of opening the doors and windows in the mornings to let the cool air in. You lucky people!
Here is a link that might be useful: look at our summer temps
angie - I need your dh to come here and check my duct work for leaks now...
I also checked out temps for June and as I thought none under 100. June = 104- 119.
it's under 100 today (so unusual) - it's monsoon time tho. had a sprinkling of rain too. A handful of drops. I opened a window to see if that was an option - but no, humidity is high for us and it hit me asap!
Part of it is that air conditioning is just expensive. Part of it is that you are home all day, so the a/c is running all day, whereas with homes where everyone goes off to work/school, they can let the house get hotter during the day.
Have you checked with your neighbors to see what their electric bills are? That's the best way--to compare with people who live in the same conditions.
If your a/c unit is over 10 years old, getting a newer, more energy efficient unit might pay off in the long run. Newer units can come with a "dry" feature--if the temperature is okay, but the humidity is high, you can run the a/c as a dehumidifier to just dry the air, not cool it. So newer models come with features that might be handy in reducing the electric bill.
My last gas-electric bill was $80 for my 1400 sf house. I am participating in the Smart Meter program and that knocked $20 off my bill. About three years ago I had cellulose insulation blown in to the attic and that made an immediate difference, both winter and summer. Last year when I got a new roof they installed an attic exhaust fan. That thing is amazing! My house was always uncomfortably warm upstairs during the day. Now it is quite comfortable. I also run a ceiling fan in my bedroom.
Of course, the last bill covered mostly June when the weather is not like the scorching weather we are having now. I cook and heat water with gas, and my furnace is gas, too.I think my highest bill in the winter is close to $300.
>If your a/c unit is over 10 years old, getting a newer, more energy efficient unit might pay off in the long run.
Very definitely yes to this. I rented here before buying and the owner had to replace the AC during that time. Of course he put in the cheapest goodman possible from the cheapest installer in town (I think it cost $3K total). Now if you want to know about Goodman, go look over in the HVAC forum here, but even that knocked a LOT off my monthly electric bill.
Personally my only complaint about the Goodman is that it klunks loudly when turning on and off. It's been installed six years now and no trouble at all. (It doesn't make a lot of sense to invest in quality A/C out here, since the salt means any unit has a max life span of about ten years.)
"Hi, we have an update. My husband crawled under the house and checked ALL the ductwork, it looks in very good shape, and there were no leaks anywhere. "
there are diagonstic tools that increase pressure of ducts
to measure & identify leakage sites.
duct testing shows the leakage sites that you don't see.
in my nearly 16 years of home diagnostics I've yet to see a duct system with no leaks. there are there...you just aren't seeing them. average homes have 30% duct loss.
that contributes a LOT to your utility costs.
best of luck
$45 last month. A little less than 700 sq ft, we unplug our microwave when not in use and turn off our router, cable box and microcell when we're not home and at night. Our stove is a 1950's propane range so it doesn't use any electric. Our fridge is a 1950's Norge which hasn't effected our bill since replacing a 200? "energy star" Kenmore with it. Our hot water tank is a power vented tankless. We have an electric dryer, and an energy star washer. We have two portable AC units that we run when it's over 85 all the time, or just the one in the bedroom at night when it's much over 75. We also have two hunter ceiling fans that run just about 24/7.
We've just decided to put up a trellis and climb some vines next to (a few feet from) the west side of the house to help with summer shade but then still allow the sun to give us some solar gain in the winter.

Rover cuts 400 at Swindon, U.K., plant LONDON — Rover Group Ltd. will cut at least 400 jobs at its Swindon, U.K., pressing and tooling plant. The automaker says the cuts were part of the process of integrating Rover into parent company BMW AG. But a U.K. business newspaper says the cuts were made while shifting jobs to Germany and other European countries. Swindon makes the body panels for Rover's troubled Longbridge, U.K., plant.

LUTTERWORTH Athletic Reserves put their name on the Leicestershire Saturday Shield County Cup for the first time with a dramatic penalty shoot-out victory against Rothley Imperials.
A dramatic 90 minutes saw the teams finish level at 3-3 before 30 minutes of extra-time failed to separate them so penalties were required and Athletic held their nerve to triumph 5-4.
They initially went ahead after 25 minutes when Max Jones' through ball found Barnes Gladman in the box, only to be brought down by the Rothley keeper.
The subsequent penalty was saved but Nathan Bedford showed good alertness to hook the ball back into the box for Gladman to thunder home a header.
Lutterworth looked comfortable for the remainder of the half with Harvey Morgan and Ben Hallam helping them go in 1-0 ahead.
The second half started in similar fashion to the first with Lutterworth on the attack but the second goal would not come and Rothley gradually started to find their feet.
Led by Steve Hart, Rothley started to look dangerous in the Lutterworth half and they equalised in the 55th minute when a misunderstanding in defence allowed Hart to level from a tight angle.
George Lee restored Lutterworth's advantage five minutes later when calmly slotting past the keeper but back came Rothley again and Smith made it 2-2 in the 70th minute.
With players beginning to tire the game really opened up in the closing stages and Lutterworth went ahead again when Bedford forced the ball home with ten minutes left but it was not to be the winner as Rothley scored a last gasp injury time equaliser.
Extra-time failed to separate the sides so penalties were required and Mark Lill gave Lutterworth the initiative by saving Rothley's first attempt before Sam Hallam, Charles Butler, Corey Murgatroyd, Bedford and Andy Morris all converted to seal the victory.

Rockefeller Group, SRO announce mega project for downtown Bellevue
- Marc Stiles
- Staff Writer- Puget Sound Business Journal
- Email | Twitter
Editor's note: This story has been updated since it was first posted at 10:47 a.m.
The Rockefeller Group and Sterling Realty Organization on Tuesday announced an agreement to develop approximately 2.4 million square feet of commercial property on nearly 5.5 acres in downtown Bellevue.
A project of that size would be the largest single project in downtown's history, said city Development Services Director Mike Brennan.
The site, which is owned by Bellevue-based SRO, is between Northeast Eighth Street and 106th Avenue Northeast and the pedestrian corridor along Northeast Sixth Street and the Key Center and Symetra office towers. Today, a Barnes & Noble and a Mars Hill Church are in the interior of the site, and some low-slung commercial buildings are on the north end of the property.
Plans call for the development of three office towers above a podium that will include retail shops and public areas. In a press release, Rockefeller officials said the project can be developed in phases.
The Business Journal first reported on the deal last fall.
SRO President David Schooler said a local commercial real estate broker representing Rockefeller approached him about 18 months ago. Rockefeller, which has developed some high-profile projects, including Rockefeller Center in Manhattan, hasn't operated "anywhere close to here so I was a little surprised," Schooler said.
Rockefeller issued a press release quoting Schooler saying he is "happy to welcome Rockefeller to Bellevue," and that he believes the company "will be a very strong and long-lasting addition to downtown Bellevue."
Schooler declined to name the local broker who initially contacted him on Rockefeller's behalf, and referred some questions about the deal and the timing of the development to officials of Rockefeller Group, which has developed approximately 40 million square feet of commercial property over more than eight decades.

Eugene Onegin by Alexander Pushkin is a seminal work of Russian literature, admired for its artful rhyming structure and for the author's explorations of the thoughts and desires of his protagonists. When choreographing Onegin as a ballet, John Cranko employed a distinctive dance language and inventive system of leitmotifs that – in the absence of Pushkin's omniscient narrator – create an insightful, compelling version of this heartbreaking tale.
Cranko's most ingenious addition is the mirror motif. In the ballet's first scene, sisters Olga and Tatiana play an old folk game in which they each look into a mirror, hoping to catch sight of their true love. Olga sees the reflection of her fiancé, Lensky; while Tatiana spies Onegin – Lensky's dashing friend from St Petersburg. Cranko later expands upon this moment to give a vivid portrait of Tatiana's burgeoning desire for Onegin.
This famous 'Mirror' pas de deux occurs in scene 2, in Tatiana's bedroom. She has fallen head over heels for Onegin during their brief meeting in the garden, and sits down to write him a love letter. The nurse enters to put her to bed, but Tatiana is restless and returns to her desk, eventually slumping fast asleep where she's sitting. Dreaming, she goes over to the large mirror at the back of the room. Suddenly, we see a vision of Onegin beside her reflection, which steps into the room as the stage is bathed in haunting blue light.
Staring in wonder at this figment of her imagination, Tatiana reverts to the girlish timidity she displayed in her first pas de deux with Onegin, soutenuing coyly away from his grasp. But he persists, and she – far bolder in her dreams than in reality – soon gives in to his touch, melting into his body in an arabesque par terre that matches his. Sensing her compliance, Onegin sweeps Tatiana off her feet, and she arches over his head in a daring lift before falling into his arms. He offers her one hand and then the other, which she grasps with confidence, allowing him to fling her into deep cambré.
As the Tchaikovsky score becomes increasingly ardent, so do Tatiana's reveries. The pair fly around the stage as he repeatedly grasps her waist and flings her in wide arcs around his body while she kicks one leg and then the other into high, reckless grands battements. In a moment of repose they return to the arabesque par terre from the beginning of the pas de deux, Onegin sensually stroking and kissing Tatiana's arm. Then they're off again, he supporting her weight in a penchée, before lifting her off the ground as her feet quiver with ecstasy.
Transformed from the childlike teenager we saw at the beginning of the ballet, the dreaming Tatiana becomes increasingly flirtatious, scampering away from Onegin and spinning just out of his reach before eventually falling into his arms once more. As the pas de deux builds to a climax she soars through the air in ever-more acrobatic lifts – in arabesque, her arms open wide; balancing on one hand high above his head; in the splits, hanging upside-down over his shoulder – before prostrating herself at his feet in a fit of adoration and desire. Then, as quickly as it began, the dream is over.
The mirror motif will recur once more during the ballet – in the final scene, some ten years later. Tatiana – now Princess Gremin – has never forgotten Onegin, and has been disquieted by his appearance at her St Petersburg palace, and by a letter he has sent her. Reminiscing, she stares into her table mirror as her husband enters. She starts at his reflection – a tiny movement but one that, in the context of previous reflections, says so much.
Onegin runs 24 January–27 February 2015. Tickets are still available.
The production is given with generous philanthropic support from Simon and Virginia Robertson, David Hancock, Lady Jarvis, Lindsay and Sarah Tomlinson, The Artists' Circle and The Royal Opera House Endowment Fund.]]>
The most anticipated moments in Kenneth MacMillan's masterful Manon are, for most of the audience, the four central pas de deux danced by the lovers Manon and Des Grieux. MacMillan choreographed these sections of the ballet first, and Antoinette Sibley – the dancer who created the role of Manon – recalled how MacMillan was 'on top of himself, like a Mozart or Beethoven'. The pas de deux give a heartbreaking portrait of ill-fated love.
The first pas de deux occurs soon after Manon and Des Grieux meet. He has just wooed her with a yearning solo adage and takes her hands, inviting her to follow him. At first she timidly bourées towards him while he walks gingerly around her – but the second he spins her into his body it is as if their burgeoning love and desire washes over them. To Massenet's haunting 'Élégie' from Les Érinnyes they dance with a sense of exhilaration, Des Grieux sweeping Manon off her feet as she literally walks on air. As the pas de deux develops she responds to his attentive, adoring touch, allowing him to support the weight of her body in ever more daring lifts. Their movements become faster and more urgent – interspersed with moments of repose as they stare, enraptured, into one another's eyes.
The next, and most famous, pas de deux takes place in Des Grieux's Paris lodgings. Des Grieux writes a letter as Manon lounges on their bed. She rises and goes to him with her signature, coquettish walk on pointe – a marked change from her earlier coyness. Bouréeing backwards, she lifts her arms seductively above her head and draws him towards her. Their first interactions are flirtatious and playful, danced to music from Massenet's opera Cendrillion. Quickly, however, the simmering desire seen in their first duet returns. Des Grieux lowers Manon gently to the floor as she circles her wrists; her upper arms – an area Sibley once called Manon's 'special erotic zone' – seduce him. The wistful looks of their first meeting evolve here into a passionate kiss, and their dancing becomes increasingly torrid and demonstrative. Finally Des Grieux throws Manon to the floor and dives down beside her in a surge of love and adoration.
In the third extended pas de deux, Des Grieux and Manon have just escaped to his bedroom from her new partner Monsieur G.M. and the party at the hôtel particulier. Des Grieux has clearly forgiven Manon, and he sweeps her lovingly off her feet. Suddenly he notices her jewelled bracelet – a jolting reminder of her life with G.M.. While he begs her to remove it, she flicks her wrist in port de bras that echoes her previous seductive movements, but which now seems almost intended to taunt him. The ecstatic abandon of their earlier duets is replaced by tension; rather than Manon melting into Des Grieux's arms, they lean out against one another's weight, she torn between her love for him and the riches of her new life, and he between his devotion for her and the pain of what she has done. Eventually he rips the bracelet from her arm and flings her to the ground – but then despairingly clutches her to him.
The final pas de deux takes place in the New Orleans bayou, with Manon and Des Grieux on the run after escaping from the prison colony. Des Grieux tries to rouse the exhausted Manon, lifting her to her feet; she attempts to bourée as before, but her body is limp and wearied. They dance together to the rapturous 'Extase' from Massenet's La Vierge but, though their steps recall the earlier pas de deux, Manon's once beguiling, nuanced port de bras is replaced with drooping wrists and elbows, and she now dances in total physical submission to Des Grieux. In a moment of passion, she runs to him and he holds her adoringly aloft as she stretches one arm skywards. But this strength and lucidity doesn't last. Des Grieux's attempts to revive her become more and more desperate until he collapses to the floor. When he next tries to lift her, she does not respond. The heartbreaking truth becomes clear – Manon is dead.
Manon runs from 29 September to 1 November 2014. Tickets are still available.
The production is staged with generous philanthropic support from Celia Blakey, Peter Lloyd and The Royal Opera House Endowment Fund. Original Production (1974) made possible by The Linbury Trust.
The Royal Ballet opens a run of four performances at Copenhagen's Tivoli Concert Hall tonight (15 September 2014).
The programme will feature Danish choreographer Kim Brandstrup's Ceremony of Innocence, performed by the Company ahead of its London premiere in November 2014. A number of divertissements will also be performed including pas de deux from Manon, Don Quixote and Voices of Spring; and Jerome Robbins' In The Night.
The Queen of Denmark will be present at the opening night, and will present young Danish talent with an award.
The Royal Ballet performs in Copenhagen until 17 September 2014. Tickets are available from the Tivoli Gardens website.]]>
The Story Begins…
Actresses, gentlemen and the Parisian demi-monde gather in the courtyard of an inn near Paris. Among them are the student Des Grieux, the wealthy Monsieur G.M. and Lescaut, who is there to meet his sister Manon on her way to enter a convent. Manon arrives with an Old Gentleman who is obviously attracted to her. Lescaut takes the Old Gentleman aside to come to an arrangement with him over Manon. She remains outside and meets Des Grieux. They fall in love and decide to escape to Paris…
Manon Across the Ages
L'Histoire du chevalier des Grieux et de Manon Lescaut is a novel by the Abbé Prévost, a 18th-century French writer whose extraordinary life encompassed Catholic piety, scandal and love affairs. The controversial novel was banned in France upon its publication in 1731, but became very popular on the back of pirated copies. Manon's story has since inspired numerous adaptations, among them operas by Massenet and Puccini, a film by Clouzot, and MacMillan's ballet.
From Controversy to Company Classic
Kenneth MacMillan believed that Manon's story would be a good basis for a large-scale, traditional company ballet. However, the choreographer's choice of a capricious and seemingly ruthless heroine was a challenge to ballet conventions. Critics expressed reservations about Manon after its premiere – 'basically, Manon is a slut and Des Grieux is a fool and they move in the most unsavoury company', one wrote. However, audiences immediately took to the work, and the power of MacMillan's choreography, as well as the relevance of Manon's message in modern society, has secured its place as a classic in The Royal Ballet's repertory.
Manon's Music
When MacMillan came to choose the music for Manon, he was advised to avoid the Puccini opera and turned instead to the music of Massenet. The choreographer asked composer and conductor Leighton Lucas to create an arrangement. With the help of Royal Ballet accompanist Hilda Gaunt, Lucas sifted through Massenet's overtures, ballets, music for plays, oratorios and operas – though notably not the composer's Manon – to create a new ballet score. This was re-orchestrated by Martin Yates for the work's 2011 revival.
A Story Told Through Pas de deux
As was his habit, MacMillan first worked on the ballet's pas de deux. These occur at key moments in the drama, and together poignantly track Manon's downfall. She and Des Grieux throw themselves at one another with passionate intensity as they fall in love in Act I, but by the time they dance their final pas de deux in the Louisiana swamps, much of their choreography comprises desperate reminiscences of earlier steps.
Manon runs from 26 September–1 November 2014. Tickets are still available. The production is staged with generous philanthropic support from Celia Blakey, Peter Lloyd and The Royal Opera House Endowment Fund. Original Production (1974) made possible by The Linbury Trust.]]>

3 1/2 Year Fast Track Bachelor's of Science in Nursing (BSN)
This plan is specifically designed for students applying for the Dean's Nursing Scholars Program. High School students with more than 15 credit hours of AP or dual enrollment credit taken in high school are encouraged to apply. Application deadline is December 1 for priority consideration, and applications will be accepted through May 1of a student's senior year of high school on a space available basis.
UAB Dean's Nursing Scholars 3.5 Year Program Application
Honors Program
The UAB Honors in Nursing Program endeavors to offer specific students enrichment opportunities beyond the traditional courses. Comprised of three courses that encompass seven credit hours, the Honors in Nursing Program involves no additional credit requirements. Instead, successful completion of the three courses substitutes for a required generic course in informatics and research and a required nursing elective course. During the three semesters of the honors sequence, students will participate in seminars that will a) explore the informatics and research content necessary to a nursing career; b) help them to identify a problem, issue, or concern that each wants to examine in depth; c) facilitate the planning and implementation of a project to address this personally identified area of interest.
The strategy chosen for this enrichment opportunity is service learning, because the essential three elements to this approach strengthen and reinforce within each student the above developmental goals. As a part of enhanced academic learning, the Honors service learning experience offers students the opportunity to explore in depth the theories, concepts, literature and published research about the specific area of interest to the individual student. Students are guided with the help of faculty and mentors to integrate and apply knowledge from scholarly literature to the project area while providing meaningful service to a specific agency. The partner-agency generally provides services or resources to populations or target groups that have specific needs that relate to the student's area of interest, and a broad range of non-profit agencies are potential candidates for partnership. The student works closely within the agency's context to help the agency as it strives to provide, evaluate, and improve its services to its target group. In this collaborative effort, the student actively engages in purposeful civic learning as he or she participates in activities within and through the agency's interaction with the larger community. This civic learning helps students explore the cultural, economic, and political factors influencing healthcare delivery.
