Community Hospital became a Hospitals for a Healthy Environment (H2E) partner to publicly acknowledge their commitment to the environment. Initially they began eliminating mercury by purchasing digital manometer cuffs and thermometers. Next they replaced mercury thermostats with digital and developed a purchasing policy that focused solely on mercury-free equipment, limiting any new mercury from slipping into the hospital.
Their decision to discontinue the purchase of disposable plastic (needle) containers and institute a reusable �sharps� container program has saved more than $68,000 in just one year, and significantly reduced the release of air pollutants. In order to reach their 2006 goal of a 20 percent recycling rate, the hospital has added computer equipment to their list of other recycled items including x-ray film, fluorescent lamps, motor oil, toner, ink jet cartridges, batteries, reusable linens, wooden pallets, frying oil, paper, glass and cardboard.
Community Hospital is concerned about the public and the patients they serve. By keeping their facility clean and aesthetically pleasing for their patients, visitors, staff and physicians, they help reduce the occurrence of any nosocomial (hospital acquired) infections while providing a healthy atmosphere to recuperate.
Florida Glas-Tek, Inc. manufactures housing units for water filtration and pumping systems. The manufacturing process involves gel coat, fiberglass and fiberglass resin and uses methyl ethyl ketone peroxide (MEKP) as a catalyst to set the gel coat and resin in the mold. After the fiberglass has hardened, the housing unit is removed from the mold, the edges are cut and sanded, and necessary holes are drilled. The completed units are packaged and shipped to the customer.
The manufacturing process generated approximately 160 gallons D001/F003 waste acetone per month, which caused disposal problems for the company.
As a solution, Florida Glas-Tek, Inc. installed a new type of resin spray gun using fiberglass chop guns instead of hand lay-up. The new equipment only needed cleaning once a day reducing the amount of waste acetone generated by more than half to approximately 55 gallons a month.
In an effort to reduce the amount of wastewater discharging to the wastewater treatment plant, Fountain Lakes Sewer Corporation instituted a toilet replacement project at the Estero Woods Apartment Complex in Bonita Springs. The 148 unit apartment complex was built in the late 1970s when standard toilets consumed as much as 5-7 gallons per flush. In 1982 state and federal laws required 3.5 gallons per flush or less, with a reduction to 1.6 gallons per flush in 1992 for new construction and toilet replacements.
Fountain Lakes Sewer Corporation replaced 189 toilets at a cost of approximately $34,000. Comparing water bills for the first two full months of operation with the previous three years, Fountain Lakes estimates a 24 percent reduction in water usage (nearly 3,300 gallons a day) and corresponding decreases in the wastewater discharged to the plant. Based on this preliminary data, cost savings for water consumption alone are estimated at $700 a month for a payback period of about four years.
Montenay Bay LLC is a waste-to-energy facility. The facility receives and processes approximately 500 tons per day of municipal solid waste (MSW). The facility consists of two Westinghouse rotary combustor boilers and a 13 MW turbine generator. As the waste is incinerated, the heat energy produces steam which is used to drive the turbine generator. The electrical power is sold to the local utility company; the ash is removed using conveyors and trucks that transport it to the Bay County Landfill.
The facility has a carbon monoxide (CO) limit of 800 parts per million (ppm) per hour for each unit. The goal has been to reduce CO emissions to an average of less than 250 ppm per hour. In 2003, a secondary air system was installed on both combustor units. The system, which consists of fans, duct work, dampers and control equipment is designed to recycle fresh air into the units and reduce CO levels during combustion of the MSW. Levels were reduced from 241.23 tons in 2001 to 185.69 tons in 2003.
Sensus Metering Systems (Sensus) refurbishes old water meters to new meter standards. The brass components are cleaned using a bead blasting process and then reused. A bead medium is sent at high speed through a nozzle, which cleans the surface by bouncing off the brass casting.
An automatic ceramic bead cleaning cabinet used by the facility maximizes media usage and reduces waste generation through a filtration and collection system. The equipment processes about 85 percent of the products, yet it generates only 50 percent of the waste. A secondary manual glass-bead cabinet used to clean only the remaining 15 percent or difficult parts, contributed the other 50 percent of the waste.
Sensus upgraded the secondary system to a newer manual cleaning cabinet that automatically captures, separates and filters the used glass beads. The beads are reused in the process for a number of cycles before they become waste. The upgrade reduced the facility�s hazardous waste generation rate by 66 percent.
The amount of raw bead use has also been reduced by 66 percent. The facility is saving $6,000 annually on reduced bead purchasing and waste disposal costs! They have also reduced their generator status from Large Quantity to Small Quantity and are no longer required to submit a biennial hazardous waste report.
UCT Coatings, Inc. has a manufacturing plant that processes and plates various metal parts using a patented nickel-boron electroless plating process. Their �UltraCem� product offers a good alternative to chrome-based electroplating and is renowned for its beneficial properties in the defense, automotive, commercial and aerospace industries. As a large quantity generator of hazardous wastes (D002 � electroless plating bath and waste nitric acid), the facility produced a high volume of potable water used as make-up water.
To resolve this problem, UCT Coatings, Inc. installed a CAST� Wastewater and Chemistry Recovery System to distill and recycle rinse water allowing it to be reused as make-up water. All plating solutions are recovered and reclaimed and nickel concentrate is collected and sold to a nickel reclaimer. The changes UCT Coatings, Inc. made this year have saved at least 150,000 gallons of potable water, more than $22,000 in disposal fees and about $900 in wastewater charges.

Nice and easy walk to a very beautiful semi- waterfall. A hidden gem on the Kanc. Stopped on a whim back from Conway on a cool rainy fall day, well worth it. Dog enjoyed the short hike and the cool mountain water. Have since done this trail several times. Great spot to stop if you have 20 mins to stretch your legs.

4.0 out of 5 stars Love and sickness,
Dizziey (Arlington, VA) - See all my reviews
This book deals with Erin's family and how they went through difficult times when her sister, Dana was diagnosed with cancer. It was especially difficult for Erin and her sibblings as her parents had to pay full attention to her sister and neglected the rest of them and how each one of the family members need to come to term with Dana's illness. It was especially hard for Erin because Dana was her best friend and it was heartbreaking to see someone you love and care is slowly deteriorating and is suffering every day.
Slowly, Erin lost faith in praying and in God as she believed it was useless since so many people prayed for Dana and yet Dana was not recovering. It was touching for me, how Dana restored Erin's faith and how the family was able to go through Dana's illness with prayers and faith in God.
Also, I think this book gives a good picture on how it's like to have a family member who is being diagnosed with cancer as it drains out everyone who loves the patient. One of the quotes in the book said something like cancer is like a magnet, it draws one closer to God.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not a superficial sob story,
Jocelynn Bailey "Mystery Mom" (Clifton, VA USA) - See all my reviews
The disappointed reviews are wrong! I am not one to throw myself into a book that I know will make me sad and weepy. Yet, when my husband brought this one home for me (since he knows I love Mrs. Oke's books), I felt I needed to dig in, even if tears did well up. I read that book based solely on my trust in Mrs. Oke's former works. I must say that at the end of the book, I felt that I had grown as a sibling. Without getting all caught up in too much emotion, I was able to realize that I needed to pray more for my siblings. I realized that even when I don't know why God is taking them through pathways I can't fix, I have to trust Him. Instead of a superficial sob story, this book went deeper. Thank you, Mrs. Oke!

4.0 out of 5 stars A slow starter, but good otherwise,
Anna M. Vandenhazel (West Valley City, UT USA) - See all my reviews
The first few pages aren't very exciting, but once the main plot settles in, you'll want to keep reading to see what happens next. This is the first Janette Oke book for adults that takes place in modern times (The 2 children's books by Janette Oke which I've purchased take place in modern times), and while the reviewer at "Publisher's Weekly" did not enjoy it, I would be willing to read it again. I had a brother who died of muscular distrophy when he was 17, and taking care of my 10-year-old son who also suffers from the same disease has not been easy. Sometimes I reach the end of my rope just as Dana's mother did, so I applaud the realistic writing style - things like this really happen to good people.

5.0 out of 5 stars I couldn't put it down!!,
By A Customer
I am a big fan of Janette Oke and have read nearly all of her books. I bought this book a few months ago but hadn't had a chance to read it until this week. Once I started it, I couldn't put it down. I thought that the characters were very real and believable and I found myself wanting to get to know them as I got more into the book. I finished it in a little over a day because I didn't want to stop. I cried at certain points of the book and at the end. Janette Oke never fails to entertain and to minister to her readers.

5.0 out of 5 stars a wonderful story of God's healing power,
Beverly "bevreader" (Mississippi) - See all my reviews
Very unlike typical Janette Oke, Dana's Valley is a wonderful modern-day story of a family struggling with the illness and death of their child. Oke and daughter Laurel have a way of making the reader empathetic with each and every family member, be it the angry, resentful older brother, or the exhausted, heartsick mother. The journey that the Walsh family takes through fear, denial, acceptance, and, finally, resignation will keep you riveted throughout. I could not put the book down.
5.0 out of 5 stars Hits Close to Home!,
Kathy McElhaney (Simi Valley, CA USA) - See all my reviews
After reading a very negative review on the book, I wasn't sure what to expect when I started reading. Since Janette Oke has been a favorite author of mine for many years, I took a chance and bought the book anyway.
As the younger sibling of a Hemophiliac who spent many weeks in the hospital during my growing up years, Dana's Valley hit very close to home. I could relate to Dana's younger sister completely. Erin's mixed feelings were very real - I've been there.
If you haven't walked through the Valley of the Shadow of Death with a family member or close friend, this book may not be for you. But if you have, have a box of tissue handy!
5.0 out of 5 stars Tugged at my Heart,
By A Customer
This story related to what my family is currently going through. My mom is fighting breast cancer. Mrs. Oke's writing came alive to me. I felt everything that Erin felt. All the thoughts and feelings I have had dealing with my mom's illness came out. I recommend this book to any who is dealing with a serious disease. This book will make you think and discover feelings you never thought you had.
5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely loved this story!,
Beverly Foust (Cookeville, TN) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dana's Valley (Audio Cassette)
I listened to the audiobook--the reader was fantastic--it was very hard to listen to and drive because it was so sad and I couldn't see to drive for crying. Although it was sad, it was also uplifting and spiritual. I felt sad and happy at the same time. I intend to buy several copies to give to my family. It was a real moving story. I also intend to buy more books from the author!
5.0 out of 5 stars Perspective of the Valley,
By A Customer
Dana's Valley explored a family's struggle in a very real way. Through the eyes of Erin, we see the family in a very real and human way. Each person has needs that must be met and the authors have presented in a subtle but positive way how they are met. I fell in love with the characters and cried when they cried. This is a book for anyone who has gone through a valley.
5.0 out of 5 stars Worth your time,
By A Customer
Don't listen to the editoral review. This book is worth your time. I found it so realistic that I wrote the letter the authur, asking if it were based on a true story. Sorry no reply yet.

Product description
We know you are here, our brothers and sisters . . . Pressia barely remembers the Detonations or much about life during the Before. In her sleeping cabinet behind the rubble of an old barbershop where she lives with her grandfather, she thinks about what is lost-how the world went from amusement parks, movie theaters, birthday parties, fathers and mothers . . . to ash and dust, scars, permanent burns, and fused, damaged bodies. And now, at an age when everyone is required to turn themselves over to the militia to either be trained as a soldier or, if they are too damaged and weak, to be used as live targets, Pressia can no longer pretend to be small. Pressia is on the run. Burn a Pure and Breathe the Ash . . . There are those who escaped the apocalypse unmarked. Pures. They are tucked safely inside the Dome that protects their healthy, superior bodies. Yet Partridge, whose father is one of the most influential men in the Dome, feels isolated and lonely. Different. He thinks about loss-maybe just because his family is broken; his father is emotionally distant; his brother killed himself; and his mother never made it inside their shelter. Or maybe it's his claustrophobia: his feeling that this Dome has become a swaddling of intensely rigid order. So when a slipped phrase suggests his mother might still be alive, Partridge risks his life to leave the Dome to find her. When Pressia meets Partridge, their worlds shatter all over again.

Customer reviews
By Andrea Thompson 20 Nov 2012
Pure is a post-apocalyptic tale of survival and hope amid destruction and horror.
Believe it or not, I like it when I am wrong about a book. To have a book that I have written off as something that I would never enjoy, thank you very much, sneak up on me and become a book that I can't put down and forget, even after the last page.When I read the first wave of reviews, before, during and shortly after Pure's release, I was so sure that this story was simply "not for me". I barely like post-apocalyptic stories, let alone those that feature characters so shocking and horrifying as the victims in this bleak book.
But a few months ago, I received an email from a publicist, interested in sending me the new paperback version of the book, and I took a chance. When Pure finally reached the top of my reading pile, I picked it up, gave a weary sigh, and began reading, slightly optimistic, but fairly certain that I would give it up by page one hundred.
I was wrong.
By page one hundred, I was hooked. I was gripped by this cruel future and its brave inhabitants. I was rooting for the brave Pure boy, Partridge, beautiful and unmarred, but lost and damaged in his own way. I was stunned by the courageous Pressia, a girl with a doll's head for a hand. She is a girl with little to hope for from this world, but her simple hope for a connection to her past made my heart ache. I fell in love with Bradwell, a boy who is physically imperfect in comparison to most heroes, but who was beautiful beyond compare. A boy with wings who has a place in his heart for love.
The reality that author Julianna Baggott built in Pure is too much for me to break down in this review. The themes touched included government corruption, science gone mad, nuclear warfare and radiation, and religion...and so much more. The aspect that fascinated me most was the inclusion of the Japanese victims of the atomic bomb, and how the victims of Pure were tied to that.
Honestly, I have really struggled with this review. I think I'm in a bit of shock. Pure made me angry, made me cry, gasp, pull my hair, shout at other readers, cover my mouth when I thought I would scream, cringe, and left me with hope. It is not a love story, yet it is a story about love. This is a book that made me feel all the feelings, and I could not put it down. Pure is a book that will not be forgotten.
By Gina Scarcella 07 Aug 2012
Funnily enough, this novel is pure imagination. Summing up this novel is exactly that. Along with the new imaginatvie force we are sucked in from the beginning right until the very end of this gripping tale in a compltely new and unheard of world.
At the beginning of the novel we find it hard to get used to the world. It is so strange and unique we need to re-read some sentences to make sure we've read and understood it all properly. Because of this, the start of the novel doesn't quite pull us in as much while we get used to the world.
When you come to realise how many different perspectives are used in this novel, you instantly might thinkn that you'd be confused. Maybe even a little overwhelmed. Yet surprisingly, it doesn't. When switching between Pressia and Partridge, we continue the story exactly where we left off, but from another side of things. We see first, how each world is like. Pressia's world outside the Dome, and Partridge's world on the inside. Then, as we switch, the two get closer and closer to each other until, finally, they meet and we get to understand how Partridge sees this new world and how he reacts to it all, as well as how Pressia reacts to Parridge, a pure, as well as how she deals with everything. This brings us so much closer to the two characters that we feel at loss when things get complicated and we start to learn more about their world and its corruptions.
From us seeing how much Partridge's life has changed makes us realise exactly the lack of reality that is represented to those inside the Dome. When Pressia tells Partridge of something that he doesn't believe, we sigh and shake our heads, knowing better of the false reality presented. Throughout the novel we ask: What are they trying to hide? What are they covering up?
Once Partridge escapes the Dome, his innocence blinds him. He doesn't know what he's in for, as well as the fact that his mother could really be dead. We wonder if he will accept it when the truth is revealed. If it is even true...
There are still so many questions left unanswered while going throguh the book. Nothing is all that it seems and we hope that some parts of the truth are revealed to us later on in the novel.
So totally in love with Bradwell. "sigh" :D Straight away, I could tell something would happen with him. I knew all along that although the blurb gives the impression, but Pressia and Partridge were not going to be together, in love or falling for each other.
Fantastic! Brilliant! Shocking! Heart-Wrenching! Such an explosive ending. Like WOW! That final chapter was... well... it was truly epic! The final chapter putting together everyone's perspective. With much of the truth revealed we stop after that explosive and fast-paced ending and just stop. Think of all that has happened and coming to terms with it all. Did that really just happen? Hearts racing, tears threatening to spill and our bodies relax after sitting on the edge of our seats. Overall, a novel that pulls you in, and makes you question the world around you, that not everything is as it seems.
By Valerie Fink 26 Feb 2012
My Summary:
The before was years ago. Pressia can't be sure if the memories she has of the before are her own or the combination of others memories she's heard. She knows the now very well. The death spree, the fused bodies, the lack of food, and the requirement that she turn herself in when she turns sixteen. There's no point, of course. If she does, they will kill her as a live target. So she might as well run.
Partridge remembers the before well. He remembers his mother taking him to the beach and the song she sings to him. But that was before and now his mother is gone - lost outside the Dome trying to save others. But when a comment makes him think she may be still alive, he must find her. But how? Once Partridge meets Pressia everything changes.
My Thoughts:
4 stars - a great read
This book is a puzzle - a masterful puzzle. Nothing is as it seems. What it seems is very disturbing. A dystopia society that is far worse then most I've read, this book creates an incredible class war between those who were protected and those who have suffered through the devastation. The characters are strong and emotionally compelling. The story is twisting and turning.
I became friends with Pressia and Partridge. On opposite sides of the class war, they are real and caring despite the cruelty all around them. I found myself routing for them and hoping that they would be successful even as I wondered what success would look like. Who should they trust? Is there a master plan being followed? It's the kind of story where you can look for the clues and piece them together. I like those kind of stories. I like to discover the truth of it and this one was one surprise after another. Nice.
If dystopia is your genre, then this is a must read. If you like a little mystery though in, then this is a must read. A masterfully brilliant story that will have you turning the pages quickly to figure out what is really going on.
By Sarah 07 Feb 2012
Thank you to Grand Central Publishing and NetGalley for allowing me to review this book.
It took me a while to get into the book, it was a long book (almost 400+ pages) and at times it seemed slow and dragged out to me. There was a lot of science fiction and I think that's what people mean when they say 'it was weird' or 'the weird parts'. While I'm not normally a huge fan of sci-fi, this was different. It was not my favorite dystopian novel, I did enjoy it.
In this highly original post-apocalyptic novel the characters were likable and well developed. There was so much details in this book, I think that's why it took so long to get into the book.
Even though it was a YA book, I think this is for older teens, this is very dark with violence disturbing elements, and death. It was creepy and compelling at the same time.
Film rights for the novel Pure have been acquired by Fox 2000, it should be an interesting movie.
By Jennifer Juckes 31 Jan 2012
"We know you are here, our brothers and sisters.
We will, one day, emerge from the Dome to join
you in peace.
For now, we watch from afar, benevolently."
Wow this was one complex and mind popping book. Ten years ago atomic bombs were detonated on Earth; a select few were allowed to escape the detonations by entering a dome. This dome protected those inside and a new self sufficient community was made. Meanwhile those outside the dome "the wretches" were left to survive. Their bodies twisted, scarred and fused to everyday objects. Life is a constant struggle for them.
This book did take me a good, and I mean a good few chapters to settle into. I think it is the sheer detail to the story that just boggles the mind. When you learn about each character you really do settle into the story. I thought this book was very good and I loved the way the story panned out, I was taken by surprise in a couple of places, and I really like that in a book. I mean who likes predictable books?!?
My favourite character was Pressia Belze, what a lovely gutsy character she was. We meet Pressia around the time of her 16th Birthday. One of her hands is fused into a doll head that she was holding at the time of the detonations. This girl has to grow up so fast to deal with the chaos that erupts when she meets a "pure". I loved the romance between Pressia and Bradwell, it was sweet and just shows that love can occur in the most horrendous places.
I do think that books which have an element of things that could be possible and believable certainly make you think more about the world around you. This story could in theory come true in a few decades time. Pretty scary stuff.....
Lots of detail and some really good characters. I really liked the way the story was written; it didn't boggle the reader with too much science fact and science talk, but just enough for readers to grasp the enormity of a nuclear holocaust.
Story rating: 4/5 - weird and wonderful. A fast paced ride.

Section News and Information
August 13, 2014
2014 Local Government Section Annual Report
Erin C. Ward, Chair
As of June 23, 2014, the Section had 645 members, including 29 judges.
Annual Meeting CLE Programs:
The Section co-sponsored a continuing legal education program at the VSB Annual Meeting titled "Public-Private Partnerships: Smooth Sailing or Choppy Waters in the Wake of Elizabeth River Crossings and VDOT v. Meeks?" The co-sponsors were the Construction Law & Public Contracts, Real Property, Administrative Law and Environmental Law Sections.
Significant Issues:
The Section electronically published three of the four quarterly issues of the Journal of Local Government Law. Several authors were unable to meet deadlines for the Spring issue, and so the Section cancelled that edition and used the cost savings as an opportunity to bring the budget back into line. As we approached the end of the fiscal year, the Section was projecting a slight budget shortfall because the costs of the Spring edition of the Journal from the previous fiscal year had been paid out of this year's budget. With that adjustment, the Section is well-positioned to remain on budget in the coming year.
During the 2012-2013 fiscal year, the Section's Board of Governors established a fellowship to be awarded to one law student who has accepted an offer to work full-time at a local government attorney office. The 2014 fellowship, for $4,000, was awarded to Jennifer Callahan, who is working this summer in the City Attorney's Office in Richmond.
Officers and Members:
The Officers for 2013-2014 were: Erin C. Ward, Chair; Bonnie France, Vice Chair; and, Annie Kim, Secretary. Leo Rogers was immediate past chair and remains as a Board member for his unexpired term..
At the Section's annual meeting on June 13, 2014, the Section elected the following officers: Bonnie France, Chair; Annie Kim, Vice Chair; and Lawrence Spencer, Secretary. The Section members also voted to approve Andrew McRoberts, Sharon Pandak, Larry Spencer, Lesa Yeatts, and Eric Young to serve a second term.

Award of 2015 Local Government Fellowship
The Board of Governors is delighted to announce that Shannon Fitzgerald has been selected as the 2015 Virginia State Bar Local Government Fellow. First awarded in 2013, the Local Government Fellowship recognizes each year one outstanding Virginia law student who will work full-time during the summer at a local government attorney's office within the Commonwealth. As a rising 3L student at the University of Richmond School of Law, Shannon is working this summer at the Henrico County Attorney's Office. In addition to receiving a $4,000 fellowship, the Local Government Fellow also receives the opportunity to submit a piece for potential publication in the Journal of Local Government Law. Applications for next year's fellowship will open in January 2016. This year's Fact Sheet and Application may be reviewed for informational purposes.

Kendall, Delsman win
Fox Point native wins season-opening Nationwide Tour eventPublished on February 20, 2012
Skip Kendall
Wisconsinites Skip Kendall and Charlie Delsman won professional golf tournaments over the weekend, as both players try to reach the big show, the PGA Tour.
Kendall, a native of Fox Point, won his fourth career title on the Nationwide Tour Sunday with a one-stroke victory at the season-opening Pacific Rubiales Colombia Championship, presented by Samsung, in Bogota, Columbia.
Kendall shot 70-67-66-71–274.
Kendall rolled in a 25-foot birdie putt on the 18th green Sunday afternoon to reach 10-under-par. Playing partner Andrew Svoboda then had a chance to match Kendall, but his birdie putt came up a few inches short. Svoboda and Andres Gonzales tied for second at 275.
"It was one of those putts that you could get a good line on and I had a really good feeling over it," said Kendall of his winning putt on 18. "Fortunately I hit a good putt and to see it tracking towards the middle of the hole was pretty special. In a way, I'm glad I went first and made the putt."
At 47 years, five months and 10 days old, Kendall is the fourth-oldest winner on the Nationwide Tour. Kendall won $108,000.
Kendall, who has bounced back and forth between the PGA Tour and the Nationwide Tour in recent seasons, has never won a title on the PGA Tour, but he has lost playoffs three times.
Meanwhile, Kirk Triplett, currently 50 years old, tied for fourth place with James Hahn at 276. Triplett is the oldest player ever to win on the Nationwide Tour. Triplett won last year at more than 49 years four months old.
Delsman, a resident of Colgate competing this winter in Florida, shot 68-68–136 to win the 36-hole Lakewood Ranch Open over the weekend in Lakewood Ranch, Fla. The event is a tournament on the West Florida Golf Tour.
Delsman won $3,000 for the victory.

LIVEOAK COMMUNITY, TEXAS. Liveoak (Live Oak) Community is near Live Oak Bayou and Farm Road 2540 ten miles southeast of Bay City in southeastern Matagorda County. The Live Oak Bayou area had probably been an Indian campground before Anglo settlement, as arrowheads and pottery shards, most likely of the Karankawa Indians, have been found in the vicinity. The area was settled as early as the 1850s by plantation owners from North Carolina, Virginia, and other eastern states; the Liveoak Community may originally have been an informal community of slaves. By 1867, after the Civil War, the predominantly black farming community had organized a church, which held services in a one-room log building with a dirt floor. The church and later school were at first known as Grapevine; a school called Rosenwall also served the community at one time. A new building was constructed in 1875 to serve as both church and school. Later the church was renamed Vine Grove Christian Church. By 1904 the one-teacher Live Oak school served forty-one black students. In 1918 and again in 1969 new buildings were constructed for the church, which continued to undergo structural improvements well into the late 1970s. Though in 1938 the two-room Live Oak school served nine grades of black students, by the next year its school district had been consolidated with the Van Vleck Independent School District, and the building was moved to Van Vleck. The community received its first electricity in the 1940s. By 1972 the community had its own school building again. During the 1980s farming had declined in importance, and many local residents commuted to their jobs in the larger cities in Matagorda and Brazoria counties. The 1989 county highway map does not name the community but shows at the site two cemeteries and a school, as well as the Vine Grove Church.

2 June 2011 | Posted inBlog News & Updates, Featured, In the Studio
Q+A: Burning Calories with HOK Washington, DC, Sustainable Design Specialist Sean Quinn
"I have a lot of energy and I like to move fast," says Sean Quinn, who just celebrated his first anniversary as a sustainable design specialist in HOK's Washington, D.C., design studio. These days, Sean is channeling his energy into sustainable design with a focus on – you guessed it – energy. "It's an obsession," he admits.
Sean was the project manager and lead architect for the HOK / Vanderweil winning net zero building retrofit design for Metropolis magazine's 2011 "Get the Feds to Zero" Next Generation® Design Competition. Metropolis and the GSA challenged designers to develop net zero energy solutions for a 1965 federal office building in downtown Los Angeles. The team reduced the building's energy use by nearly 85 percent and got the rest of the way to zero through on-site renewables.
After gaining the permission of HOK D.C. office leaders to work on the Metropolis competition – mostly after hours and on their own time — Sean and HOK D.C. Sustainable Design Leader Anica Landreneau assembled a team that included 11 HOK designers and four Vanderweil engineers, each with less than a decade of experience.
You can see the team's winning submission at their Process Zero website and plenty of Process Zero images inthe Flickr set.
Sean is a busy guy. In addition to doing interviews about the innovative Process Zero design with media outlets like Federal News Radio, he is providing sustainable design expertise, design analysis and energy modeling on HOK projects in the District of Columbia, Saudi Arabia, Germany and Russia. He sat still long enough to answer a few questions.
What is your favorite part of the winning design?
SQ: The algae bioreactor is an extremely exciting concept and unique opportunity. One of my goals is to create buildings that don't just create less waste but that have a positive environmental footprint – to make buildings that are like trees. Our solution creates a building that can process dirty carbon dioxide on the site and turn it into clean oxygen and energy. Over the next five to 10 years, the technology for doing this could be transformational for the architectural profession.
Where did the team get the idea of using algae?
SQ: We began the project talking about how we would integrate biomimicry into our solution. HOK's Scott Walzak had the great idea of making the building act like a cell – the simplest form of life. We started looking at overall principles of nature and Scott discovered these beautiful images of algae cells. That captured the spirit of the process moving forward.
The next question was how to use that in this building? We researched all the different ways algae is harvested and which methods could be integrated into the design in a way that made the building look good while harnessing carbon dioxide to generate energy and functioning as a living, breathing entity.
What did you learn from this design process about getting to net zero?
SQ: Research was a huge component of this project. We broke up our three-month design process into three parts. The first month was purely for research. We knew that we couldn't just use existing, off-the-shelf products, so we needed to find the best emerging technologies that would work together on this building. We wanted to create a visionary statement for the future.
We learned that integrated design is essential. You must have architects and engineers working on the design together at the same time. Many of our design ideas looked good but didn't have the overall performance benefits. We needed Vanderweil not just to push back on our ideas but to collaborate with us as we were developing the ideas. Our Vanderweil team members gave us a fascinating design presentation explaining the systems that would work in the building and illustrating how they would look. That set the tone. We all knew that any solution incorporated into this project would have to look good and perform well.
The second part of the process was general integration, which meant taking the best ideas from our research and integrating them into this building. Over the final month, we were busy formalizing those ideas and pushed to turn all the sketches and rough models into beautiful visualizations.
What was the path that led you to HOK?
SQ: I'm originally from Baltimore. My father is the director of the Johns Hopkins Center for Global Health, where he does HIV/AIDS research. During high school, while working in a lab at Johns Hopkins, I found myself enjoying the medical illustrations, slides and presentations more than the medical work. So I realized that medicine was not my passion and gravitated toward architecture and its great balance of mathematics, science and art.
I studied architecture at the University of Notre Dame, which is a very classical school of architecture. What drew me there was the opportunity to learn about the development of architecture from ancient Greek and Roman times. I appreciate that classic sense of building and the idea that buildings should be in harmony with the urban and natural environments they occupy. When I got out of Notre Dame with a Bachelor of Architecture in 2003, I was interested in modern building technologies. I worked for a firm in Fairfax that designed the first LEED building in Virginia. Then I joined a larger design firm and worked on some great projects but I just didn't feel like I was doing enough with green design.
After deciding to focus my career on sustainability, I enrolled at the Catholic University of America, which was one of just six schools in the country offering a Master of Science in Sustainable Design. The program had an emphasis on energy analysis through modeling and integrated architecture and engineering. Through that program, I was invited to do my thesis research for four months at Oxford University. In the spring of 2010, I got an internship with the U.S. Department of Energy. With the DOE, I was able to immerse myself in the field of energy efficiency and renewable energy. Interestingly enough, I worked with a group focused on the retrofit of existing commercial buildings.
After I graduated from Catholic University in May 2010, HOK offered me a position. It was a perfect transition from the policy realm to being able to influence the design of energy efficient buildings. That's what brought me here.
What gets you out of bed in the morning to come to work?
SQ: I enjoy pushing the envelope and addressing environmental issues through architecture. HOK has a strong commitment to sustainability and performance as our design aesthetic. All our solutions need to address issues of beauty as they address the urban context and also need to have a positive impact on the environment. There is a great team dynamic in D.C. and throughout the firm that allows those goals to be realized. I love that about coming to work here.
I am involved with HOK Impact, which is working to give the firm's community and pro bono work a clearer focus.
As we work on high-end, high-tech facilities buildings, our challenge is to take technology from projects like KAUST and bring it to low-tech projects that benefit the community at large. I like trying to generate a balance.
What do you do when you're not working?
SQ: My biggest hobby is racing sailboats. I love the wind. I have been sailing since I was nine years old and helped start the racing team in high school. For the past few years I have been crewing for a veteran racer named Keith Donald. Most of our training and racing is out on the Chesapeake Bay or along the East Coast. We competed in the 2008 World Championships in Miami and almost qualified for the U.S. Olympic Trials.
A few years ago I climbed Mount Kilimanjaro. My father was doing research in Uganda, so for his 60th birthday our family went on safari. After that trip, I went on to Tanzania and spent a week climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro. What I didn't realize is that you start the climb in a rainforest at the base and then go through a series of different geological zones as you work your way up to the 19,340-foot peak, where it was 20-30°F below zero with the wind chill. The sad part is that snow no longer falls in the 16,000-18,000 foot range. Where there once was snow is now broken shale and a distinct flower that spots the mountain everywhere before snow. My guide and I reached the summit at sunrise and I spent about two hours taking photos.
I have competed in triathlons and lately have been doing some adventure races with my girlfriend. I like going fast!
Next year some friends are getting married in the northeast corner of Australia during a solar eclipse. So we will go scuba diving by the Great Barrier Reef and then travel around Thailand and other locations. My girlfriend lived in Thailand for a year after college and wants to drag me around Southeast Asia. I want to let her!
What are your goals for the future?
SQ: I would like to see conceptual projects like what we have created for the Metropolis Next Generation competition come to fruition. The integrated design process has become embedded within the HOK practice, and we're now formalizing the use of many of the design analysis tools used in this competition. I would love to see us do more research and development with both industry and academia. We need to push the envelope of how to generate energy on-site through building integrated solutions. There are fantastic opportunities around renewable energy, and we as designers can influence their development within the built environment.

Flight 162
July 22, 2003
The satellites are prepared for launch
The Spaceport's modern S5 satellite preparation facility in French Guiana is busy with activity as two of the three payloads for Flight 162 undergo their pre-launch preparations.
Our photos from the Spaceport in French Guiana show the European Space Agency's SMART-1 lunar spacecraft and INSAT-3E for the Indian Space Research Organisation as they are checked out in the S5 clean rooms. (Click on the photos for larger versions).
Technicians take a close look at one of the INSAT-3E satellite's solar panels in the S5C high-bay portion of the S5 facility. As part of pre-launch verifications, the Indian telecommunication spacecraft's solar panels are extended with the assistance of a special test rig for a final validation the deployment system. Flight 162 is set for a late August liftoff with INSAT-3E, SMART-1 and the e-BIRD satellite for Europe's Eutelsat.
The INSAT-3E satellite's solar panel is extended at the completion of its deployment test in the S5C high bay. Solar panels used on the INSAT series of telecommunications satellites generate up to 2,765 Watts of power. INSAT-3E was built under the responsibility of the Indian Space Research Organisation, and has a design lifetime of 15 years.
Europe's SMART-1 space probe is lowered onto the cone-shaped adapter that will serve as the mounting interface in the three-satellite payload "stack" for Flight 162. This compact lunar exploration spacecraft is built around a 157 x 115 x 104 cm. aluminum structure. SMART-1 is the first of the European Space Agency's Small Missions for Advanced Research and Technology (SMART).
Mission team members secure the SMART-1 space probe atop its adapter during activity in the S5B high-bay. SMART-1 will be the first European spacecraft to travel to the Moon, and one of the technologies it will demonstrate is an electric primary propulsion system - called the Stationary Plasma Hall-effect thruster. The Swedish Space Corporation developed SMART-1.

HUNTINGTON -- Two robberies and a reported sexual assault near Marshall University have authorities telling students and faculty to be on alert.
The three incidents happened within four days. Each occurred in an area near 20th Street south of 5th Avenue. Police quickly arrested three men in connection with the robberies, however the assault case remained under investigation late afternoon Wednesday.
The attack happened about 10:30 p.m. Monday in the 500 block of 20th Street. The 22-year-old victim, a Marshall student, told police she was sexually assaulted by a stranger, according to an incident report filed by the Huntington Police Department.
The police report classified the incident as a case of sexual abuse. It provided very little in the way of additional information, and detectives working the case provided no further comment Wednesday.
Marshall Police Chief James Terry said the woman was walking to her vehicle, which was parked at a business in the 500 block of 20th Street. That's within a block of campus.
Terry, who referred questions about the investigations to city police, said the three incidents should serve as a reminder for students and faculty to watch their surroundings, particularly when stepping off campus.
It might sound routine, but Terry said such reminders are important with a group of students who might be otherwise focused on their education. He said students can become sidetracked texting, talking on cell phones or thinking about getting to their destination.
"You're focused on so much stuff, sometimes you don't think of your personal safety because things rarely occur," he said. "Marshall is a relatively safe place, Huntington is a safe town, but you still have to be aware because things are going to happen."
That was the spirit of an electronic alert Terry sent students Tuesday evening. It then was published in The Parthenon, the university's student publication.
The robberies happened Friday and Saturday. City police quickly arrested three people in connection with the Saturday incident, according to earlier comments by Huntington Police Lt. John Williams. He said evidence recovered in those arrests could help police solve the Friday robbery.
Terry's alert told students that both his department and city police have increased patrols in the area.
Any faculty, staff or student who would like an escort to his or her vehicle can call 304-696-HELP. That 24-hour, seven-day-a-week service has been provided for some time.

Diane Mufson: Can McDowell County really be revitalized?
Most of us want to believe that problems can be surmounted if we work diligently or throw enough money at them. Unfortunately, that is not always true.
Recently, an article in this newspaper, "In rural W.Va., schools rethink their role," made it clear that McDowell County, W.Va., has massive problems. The question: Can this county really be revitalized?
The article by Philip Elliott of The Associated Press stressed that many companies and groups are banding together to create "Reconnecting McDowell," a program trying to do just about everything for everyone in this area. It is a major effort to stem McDowell's tide of poverty, hunger, illiteracy, dental decay and alcohol and drug abuse.
Reconnecting McDowell is attributed to a conversation between Gayle Manchin, while she was first lady of the state, and Randi Weingarten, the national president of the AFT (American Federation of Teachers). Many similar programs have come and gone. Again, the real question: Can McDowell County really be revitalized or will the county simply be a place populated by "ghost towns"?
Ghost towns exist in West Virginia (Thurmond may be one of the best known) and every other state in the nation. They are places that time, the economy, reason for formation, geography and other factors cause a once thriving community to become a lifeless area with few or no residents.
Census figures say that McDowell County had nearly 100,000 residents in the mid 20th Century. People who lived in Welch, the county seat, remember it as a vibrant and successful place. By 1970, the county had lost half of its population and in 2010 only about 22,000 people lived there.
Coal was the reason for McDowell's development. The mines brought new people and businesses to the area. All was well as long as many coal miners were needed. Technology, the economy and ecology have changed that. Fewer people are needed nowadays to mine coal and, whether Appalachia likes it or not, other western states, particularly Wyoming, can and do produce more and cheaper coal.
The statistics for the residents of McDowell County are depressing. "72 percent of the students live in a home where neither parent is working ... 46 percent live in a home without a biological parent; many parents are in jail for drugs."
"McDowell County has the highest death rate for prescription drug overdoses in the country, leads the state in the teen birth rate and 22 percent of the adult population ... lacks basic literacy skills." There's more distressing news regarding the number of people needing treatment for drug addiction, the lack of dental care and the fact that "Of the 350 teaching positions ... 51 were not filled at the start of the school year." Teachers willing to work in the area have had so much difficulty finding decent places to live that the "Reconnecting McDowell" group wants to build apartments for more than 20 teachers.
The plan's goals are impressive. They hope to turn McDowell County into a place where health and education are available for all. But healthy, educated people need jobs and businesses. There is no indication that industries are seeking to relocate to McDowell County where travel is a challenge, much of the population has left, drug problems are epidemic and literacy is low.
For the record, I have visited much of southern West Virginia but not McDowell County. Nevertheless, the distressing facts and figures are clear. They lead to the big question: Can McDowell County really be revitalized or will it become a ghost county?

By Jim GaramoneAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Oct. 28, 2003 More military units are helping combat the wildfires raging in California, Pentagon officials said today.
In the San Diego area, the Navy evacuated five military housing areas with 2,883 units. The evacuees have been placed at local bases.
Fires on Marine Corps Air Station Miramar are 90 percent contained, and fires at Camp Pendleton are 75 percent contained. The fires at the bases are not threatening government facilities. Firefighters at the bases are helping their civilian counterparts throughout the region, officials said.
Two modular airborne firefighting systems began operations yesterday, and more will follow. The systems fit inside C- 130 aircraft. California Air National Guard crews began flying missions with the systems. The Air Force Reserve's 302nd Wing from Colorado Springs, Colo., also is flying missions.
Aircraft from the Wyoming Air National Guard's 153rd Air Wing and the North Carolina Guard's 145th Air Wing are on their way to the region with four more of the modular systems.
DoD officials stress they are ready to provide additional support as required. Local commanders have the authority to provide immediate emergency assistance without waiting for permission from Washington.
The fires, stretching from the Mexican border to the northern suburbs of Los Angeles, have destroyed more than 830 homes and burned out more than 500,000 acres. California officials said the fires are responsible for at least 15 deaths.
President Bush declared the counties of Los Angeles, San Diego, San Bernardino and Ventura federal disaster areas.

Laura: Please read all channeled messages with discernment, all messages can be interfered with by the channelers' mind or by lower dimension entities.
Message channeled by Kauilapele
KP: This message, from the Pleiadian group, was "forged" onto paper here (that's computer screen OpenOffice type document "paper"). It seemed as if it had to be written, and written now.
Now, I admit that I am not comfortable with writing down any time frame. But the message clearly came through as "three days", with an "approximately" added on to the front, when "high officials will be called upon to step down". These are stated to be "government positions". Whose government… not communicated. Which "high officials"… not communicated.
We are asked to be ready for "swift action", as we "receive inner notice telepathically from your Galactic sources". What the "swift action" actually is, is not specified. For each it will be different.
"Mass movements" to higher consciousness are occurring, and some will be called to higher elevations, apparently in a physical location sense of the word. Reference is made to an increase in clarity, of all of our senses (clairvoyance, clairaudience, clair-radiance). And that those who operate from the "intellect-only" closed-mind mode may experience "spectacular explosions". I presume this means, hopefully for them, "spectacular awakenings".
We are encouraged to radiate our Light in all our affairs, and to operate from Joy. "That is your Highest Guide."
February 24, 2012 (2-24-2012)
We are now in communication with the Higher Self of the one known as Kauilapele. We are also known from your "skies" as the group from the Pleiadian star system. We have found this one to be particularly attuned to the Pleiadian communication system and his energetics matches many of ours.
Please read all of such communications from other star systems with Higher Discernment turned on. This is always helpful as not all messages are received or communicated clearly, and with the precise intent of the originator. Also it enables each to utilize this aspect [Higher Discernment] of their Higher Mind.
We say to you that a number of high officials will be called upon to step down from their governmental positions within a period of approximately three days. This may be altered somewhat. However, we ask that each of you be prepared to take swift action as you receive inner notice telepathically from your Galactic sources. Each has their own. Pay attention to sleep dream messages, as instructions will also be conveyed in this way. These messages are from our realm, however, these are messages from what you might call your future Higher Self that has come back to communicate in the current time realm.
This one [KP] currently wonders if this message comes through precisely. We say, yes. It surprises him to see these instructions and this message with a time domain stamped within it. However, it is as aligned as we are permitted to align.
Some may say that their role is not significant. To those we answer that, as their intent is to awaken and ascend in consciousness (Ascension, as some call it), then their paths will be cleared for their missions in the next phase of this.
As all accept the incomings at this time (we speak of higher energies, increasing in vibratory intensity*), there will be mass movements to higher elevations, in awareness. We speak not here of physical elevation. However, many will be called to regions of the physical planet where above sea levels will be large.** And all may assume that their clarity will increase.

Coastal Bend Diabetes Initiative grants focus on new methods, research
CORPUS CHRISTI - The Coastal Bend Diabetes Initiative on Monday awarded $90,000 in grants, many of which focus on innovative ways to help or prevent diabetes.
"More and more groups are coming together and coming up with creative initiatives," Diabetes Initiative board member Lillian Riojas said. "Coastal Bend Diabetes Initiative is a catalyst for these creative ideas to get off the ground."
Some of the first-time recipients include projects by the Deaf and Hard of Hearing Center, which will focus on providing diabetes information to those with hearing loss; the Junior League's Kids in the Kitchen efforts to promote healthier family lifestyles by reaching the children; and the Texas A&M University Health and Science Center's Rangel College of Pharmacy will challenge middle and high school students to produce videos on diabetes awareness and prevention.
New kinds of programs are important because diabetes often goes undetected until it is an emergency, said Patty Clark, Metro Ministries director.
"Many of our population don't see a doctor regularly," she said. "Through these groups we have a broader reach."
The Diabetes Initiative also focuses on researching diabetes in the community and the effectiveness of the programs that are funded, said Bishop Emeritus Edmond Carmody, Diabetes Initiative chairman.
More than a quarter of the grant funding was given to Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi for a research project to determine the effects grocery stores, fast food and restaurants have on diabetes in surrounding neighborhoods. Another $15,000 was awarded to the Diabetes Community Coalition to document and find ways to measure the effectiveness of programs that receive funding.

Good place for Chicken lovers
Joey's pizza - I heard this place described in cult terms before I first ordered. The quantum of toppings on your pizza definitely puts the Dominos and Pizza Huts of the world to shame. Where they lack is the service, taking 30+ minutes to prepare pizza on a non busy weekday. We have had to cancel a Friday evening party plan because the outlet told us it would take 1.5 hours for the pizza to come (we are situated 2 minutes from the outlet)
February 07,2015
Joey's makes Dominos look good....go figure!
Read some good reviews about this place on Zomato... After ordering I'm sure they are paying people for those reviews and perhaps here too.
I will rate my first and last experience with them split between service and food as below :-
* food- below average pizza and toppings. Ordered the Tornado which was sweet, margarita with olive and jalapeño which was dry and sub standard really. The surprise roast chicken pizza (read below to understand) was dry chicken with dry capsicum on an oily pizza base. The cheese they use on all pizzas doesn't seem of good quality as it is very salty and has a bad taste.
*service- food was delivered an hour an a half after placing the order(was promised 45-60 mins). When I called to merely ask where the food was, I was asked by the manager (Ali -who was laughing throughout the three subsequent calls mind you) to follow up with the delivery guy myself since I had a problem and not him. I also got an unwanted and intellectually fractured lecture on Bombay traffic and the infamous east-west jams all the while he was giggling. This really ticked me off but, the worst was yet to come.
The delivery guy shows up eventually and looks like Ali had already primed him.. The delivery boy Rajesh did not speak a single word to me, stared at me the whole time like he wanted to punch my face and leave me toothless I guess. He shoved the pizzas in my hand followed by the drink followed by the change and stormed out. Ouch!
I called my friend Ali and spoke to him about this and his one line reaction was - "I will check with him". No sorry, no expletives even..... Gimme something brother!
Anyway, even my order was wrong to make matters worse. I thought I had ordered a "roast chicken" starter which the guy taking the order assured me is a starter but, of course it turned out to be just another pizza.
After I had lost all my patience I politely asked for the owner's number and upon speaking with him - it all made sense!
The owner listens to me whine about everything in literally one breath and his response was this - "I apologize. I'm getting a call on another line, I will speak to Ali. Thank you" and hangs up on me. This is Mr. Arif Kazi... Setting an example for his staff!
Of course he spoke to Ali who called me and offered me some 200 odd rupees in exchange for the dry and disgusting roast chicken pizza. I said I didn't want their money and hung up.
To end all this....what I really want to do is to take their pizza and spit in it and feed it to all of them. Enjoy!

Thanks to my friend
After having Dominos too often as a part of "friday out of office lunch" schedule, I kinda had a taste of D pizzas in my buds but This was a refreshing change. As insisted by a friend on a late sunday evening, we went and checked out this place. Nothing happening about the place. Kind of normal pizza joints with delivery bikes around the corner and a heap of pizza packaging boxes next to the door. Has a small sitting arrangement with 6-7 tables. As my friend had already visited the place before, he knew what to order(chicken delite and hot chicken) and ordered the half on half(2 pizza's combined). When the pizza's arrived.. its was a chicken fest. the base was soft and the overall taste was something to die for. definitely something worth trying and also not too heavy on pocket. Ambience and the sitting can be improved though

Pizza Philia..
Being a pizza lover this place is high on my list. Joey's was recommended by many of my friends, and I must say I was disappointed in the slightest. It's one of the best place to hang out with friends for having a good time over great pizzas, and mind you, the rates don't go hard on your wallet. The kheema cheese garlic bread is worth a try.

Good Food, Bad Customer Service
I have been visiting Joey's Pizza for the last 3 years and i must say that it has been my only destination of pizaa for last couple of years. Even when i used to work at Mindspace i made it a point that all pizza's ordered in my firm were coming from there. Also i have done ample amount of Good Word of Mouth publicity of this place. But all this came to ground zero when i visited Joey's Pizza (Malad) on 4th Oct 2013. It was my worst experience of customer service that i had there. First and foremost the staff (Fair, Thin Long haired Guy) who manages the desk is very rude and after reading a couple of reviews on all food sites , its high time the management should think about that person, all negative reviews point towards that person only. The place was full when our group reached there at around 11:10pm , since the place was full and table waiting was for more then 30 days , i asked the Staff guy to order a take away for me since we were not having Non-veg after 12am. The Staff manager rudely refused stating that the order will only be taken once we get a table. Then at 11:30 we went back and told him that it should not be there problem if we order the pizza now and then sit later on the table and have it or maybe we can have it outside. The manager took the order at 11:30. WE got out table at 11:47pm and the Pizza (that was ordered at 11:30pm)came at 12:05 am. When we asked when was the order taken they told that it was taken when we got seats. We straight away refused the order and called the Manager. The manager was very rude while talking to us and was not ready to accept the mistake. Morever he did not even apologise or try to stop us when we left the outlet without having pizza. The tone was that manager has always been rude, high and have always seen that person treating customer's like fool since my last couple of visits. Sorry Joey's U lost a customer and with me all my friends and acquaintances to whom i will mention about this incident. I think the name of the long haired person/staff is Salahuddin.... Thanks for giving me bad customer service

Fab Pizzas
I am a regular at the Joey's pizza's Malad joint and I must say that this place is certainly worth coming back for. The three things which pull me here are 1. the Humungous quantity of delicious toppings over the pizza. 2. the half and half style pizza 3. the thin crust at no cost. Also they don't slap you taxes and hence, its pretty light on the pocket.

The Best Pizza In Town!
I mean it when I say that you can get the Best Pizza in Town here! Their pizzas are so juicy with ample amount of toppings and cheese! Their cheese is something totally different. Much better than the other places. They are very generous with their toppings. Try their Butter Chicken, Joey's Special, Chicken Delight and Pepperoni. The best part is that you can have 2 different kinds of toppings on 1 pizza... Ask them to make it 50-50! Their salads are also well tossed with ample amount of ingredients! :) The best deal in such less price!

Move over commercial chains
We decided to try out Joey's after a hectic day of shopping at Infinity mall. One of my friends had highly recommended the pizzas that he gets delivered from the Andheri outlet of Joey's so we had really high hopes with the place.
Joey's is located in a small shop off Link Road. There are a few small tables for walk-in customers, but the place is clearly focused on deliveries.
We started by ordering garlic bread with cheese which was crisp and was topped with generous amounts of cheese. This was followed by a veggie pizza. The pizza crust was a bit thicker than usual but was very flavorful - I think they pay special attention to their dough. The pizza was loaded with toppings and cheese. Frankly, I have grown tired of places that are so stingy that one has forage the pizza for toppings, so Joey's was a welcome change. Overall, the pizza was good and I ended up calling my friend and thanking him for the recommendation.
True, it does not compare to some place like CPK, but we had a decent experience at Joey's and would recommend it over the commercial pizza chains for the quality of pizzas. The set-up is pretty average so going ahead would try to focus on delivery instead of eating-in.

The best pizza in Bombay without a doubt
I'm a massive fan of Joeys! Both the Andheri and Malad branches offer a great service and have even delivered pizzas to the side of the western express highway for me in times gone by, for us to eat on the journey back to Vasai. Any excuse for a joeys and I'm there. My favourite pizza joint in Bombay.

Pizza lovers
this place is way better than other pizza outlet.first of all , things i ordered was spicy keema, meat ultimo, mother's Recipe( paneer sezchuan ), super cheese garlic bread with topping of spicy chicken keema.
Must try the garlic bread with chicken keema , spciy keema , it is good. i am dont love pizza so much but joey's changed the view, feeling of yummy hot pizza served , feeling of pizza made at home, coriander on top . its surely yum.
but i didnt like meat ultimo , it is not so great , actually compared to pizza in their menu, i might rate meat ultimo not at all good.but yet again it all depends on taste person to person,
Good pizza, must vist place, ambience is okay not great, service is fine, beside meat lovers even vegetarian people will enjoy too because their paneer scezchuan is good too...
The reason i gave 4 stars i find it more yumm than other pizza outlets, so in comparison to other pizza places , this place i surely recommend
In all nice pizza place
Stop changing chef's
Go order one pizza today, drool over the thought for the next two weeks visit again and get the worst possible pizza on earth. How on earth is that possible. Ordered the standard cheese onion pizza twice and faced drastically different circumstances.
Please get back your great chef's on board!

I agree with the previous reviewer. I have kept ordering from Joey's because I think their pizzas are great. They do have the best pizzas in Mumbai. But in the past 3 months, the quality of their pizza's has become inconsistent, with sometimes less toppings, less cheese, or very little sauce on the base, or thinner than usual base. This inconsistency becomes more than evident on weekends.
As the previous reviewer mentioned, many a times the pizza received is pushed to one side of the box. The person who takes the order (store manager?) is also not very helpful, and always keeps saying ok ok ok, but never apologizes whenever I call to register my grievances. I have not even once heard him say sorry!
I truly love their pizzas when they get it right. But what's the use if half of the time they get it wrong, and when their staff is not supportive and uncaring?
I'm going to order their pizza one last time, and if they get it wrong and don't address my grievances, I'm going to stop ordering from them, just like the previous reviewer.
P.S.: They also delivered a pizza once after 1 hour and it was cold. I had to reheat it in the oven. When I mentioned this to the manager, again, no apology, except he said "it won't happen again."

Used to like Joey's but not anymore
I had ordered pizza from Joey's in Andheri and then from Malad after I moved for almost 8 years. Over the years their prices reached sky high - just a bit under Dominos and big guys, and they started taking an hour to deliver. Then I started getting pizza that was huddled up into a corner of the box and then once with all the topping on the lid on the box (delivery dude must've held it upside down). That's it. How bad could they get. When I called to complain, they didn't apologize or offer any make good - the guy just said ok, ok, ok. Now I don't order from Joey's at all. Sorry Joey's you lost a regular customer.

delicacy to the Pizza lovers..
This place is on of the best for Pizza's, moderately priced and generously stuffed. The quality of base, cheese is excellent, toppings are fresh.
You won't need to worry for anything more, sauces, paprika, anything complementing a Pizza meal is already served on your table, interesting was to notice a bottle of Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
Must start with a Pepperoni pizza !
Seem like this guy knows his pizza... must appreciate, and keep up the dedication!
Awesomest pizza in Mumbai
Joey's is undoubtedly one of the awesomest pizzas i've ever had. We tasted once on a friend's recommendation and we have become super fans since then... almost 3 years now! Pizza means Joey's for us!
Our regular order is Joey's special, but all their pizzas are delicious. Their best part... they all have extra cheese. Unlike other bigger retail pizza points, Joey's has a fabulous client interaction, consistency in food and great taste. Worthy of each penny being paid.
We usually ask for home delivery and they are always in time! Cheers to Joey's! I've just ordered another pizza... awaiting :D

They are the TOP in toppings
These guys not only have a lovely range, they - as a user said, put Dominos and Pizza Hut to shame with their generosity in toppings. Whatever you order, the pizza is FULL. The taste is great and its easy on the pocket too. May these guys continue with the rocking good work.

Puts Dominos and Pizza hut to shame!!!
Joey's have really got it right with their pizzas. After all the Pizza huts and Dominos (which had put me off pizza for a really really long time), this was absolutely yummmm!!!!
We had ordered a medium pizza half meat ultimo or something like that (with pepperoni/ salami/ ham, etc.) and half tuna...
It was pure joy at the first bite... I loved it.. And in stark contrast with its money grabbing counterparts - Dominos and Pizza hut. The best part is that they really give you your money's worth with the toppings...
The only other place in Mumbai where I actually felt this much in love with pizza was at Pizzeria in South Mumbai.
I would recommend this Joey's to everybody especially the meat eaters.. :)
You'll forget pizza hut or Dominos!
After lots of persuasion I reluctantly agreed to try this joint. I'm avid pizza hut fan but this one wins hands-down. This pizza is like chinese prepared Indian style. It's got the bulk of chicken chunks, loaded with cheese, rightly spiced, nicely packed & delivered in less than 30 mins. One more thing - Price is 30% lesser than all international chains. Dinning experience at their oulet takes a hit. So I prefered home delivery.

i HAVE NEVER EATIN PIZZA THAT TASTES HAS DELICIOUS AS THE ONE AT jOEY'S
I have tried Pizza hut (good), Dimino's (crap), Smokin Joe's(Value for money), Garcia's(ok) and Pizzaria ( Interesting)
However Joeys tops them all. The pizaa is stuffed with delights and am always satisfied after eatin of of their pizza's.. The best part is that its pretty reasonable as well and if you work around Chincholi Bunder you may also avail of a 10 % discount if you company has a tie up with them.
i totally recommend Joey's to anyone who wants to really enjoy their Pizza...
I personally love the Meats...Its stuffed with only meat and is sinfully delicious

The real Pizza
This pizza is the best I have had till date. Forget Dominos/Pizzahut/Papa Papa Jones. This is the one. The base /crust is soft and the the entire gamut of sauses, cheese and toppings are so fresh and exiting.The plain cheese piza is so Italian if I may say. The crust is soft for the knife to just go through it with a great value for money.This is one please where you will not mind having the Pizza with fork and knife. The Service is nice but just 4 rating instead of five is for the ambience. There are just 2 tables where 2 couples(Max) can have a good time. I am going back again or ordering to my place.

Braveheart - An awesome pizza
I tried the Braveheart pizza ... Its got some beans and vegetables ... really light, awesome taste, good sauces and a great base ... Chicken Barbeque's tasty too. They're cool about the personals like "no mushrooms" or "extra cheese" ... I think Joey's the new competition in the pizza arena !!
+1 - For great home delivery service, they know ur names and addresses after the first order.
+1 - For the menu ... great choice ...
Keep it awesome, Joey's !!

yucky cheese
I'll get to the point :-
Toppings: good
Pizza base : Lijjat Papad without the pepper corns
Cheese : YUCK
Cheesesticks : Double yuck
I must say, the chicken is rather good and spicy. But unfortunately, that's where it ends. The cheese is just nasty, local cheese.
Pizza hut, even with its limited options, is a much better pizza joint, tho slightly expensive, than Joeys. It's nothing but a sub- sub standard pizza.
I ordered : Chicken Delight, extra spicy.
Awesome ! Cant wait to order again !
I had their menu since quiet sometime, but never really got to ordering it. Firstly I was not sure whether it will be good, as they are not that popular among other ones. Still I decided to give it a try as thats the only way to get some first hand review apart from the reviews here which apparently were quite good for Joey's Pizza!
And I am so glad I ordered from here. They have a 50-50 option wherein you can choose 2 diff pizzas on either side, another good addtion, so I went for Medium Spicy/Simply Veg, it was for 165 including taxes. Another good thing here is that the prices on the menu are inclusive are taxed. All the other pizza outlets MUST have this same kind of menu where the prices are all inclusive of all taxes/VAT.
The pizza was simply awesome and delicious. Though the price may be slightly higher side compared to other(between 120-145) but it was really worth it. Nice fluffy crust(I hate those paper thin crusts), generous amount of topping and cheese and grilled to perfection and very very crispy and tasty !!!
Considering there are so many outlets in Malad(pizza hut, dominos, papa johns, garcia, smokin joes) except Pizza Hut none of the either ones comes even close to Joey's and I would even say its at par with Pizza Hut too !
I am just hoping even my next pizza is as delicious as this one !
Give it a shot, you shouldn't be disappointed.
