Introduction and Overview of the
Sustainable Living
This project reflects the experience gained from over 30 years of designing, testing and improving independent homes. These homes are built using recycled materials from Taos County; they make their own electricity from solar panels; catch their own water from rain and snow melt; contain and reuse their own waste water; and provide their own heating and cooling without the use of fossil fuels via passive solar and thermal mass architecture. We continue to evolve basic mechanical components and to simplify structural details toward this goal.
Custom High End and Affordable Housing
Self Determination
Reclaim Damaged Lands
|Manage Growth
Greater World is committed to managing our growth at a level that can support the experimental nature of our evolving lifestyles. We expect development to average about 4-5 units per year.
|Research and Development Institute
Greater World's goal is to make available the valuable lessons we are learning here to anyone interested in living more sustainably. There is a school, seminars, tours, publications, a web site and Earthship nightly rentals to "test drive." GW has a lot to offer Taos County and any county with concerns about dwindling resources. GW has been doing this work without public funding and under the direction and approval of the appropriate NM State regulatory agencies. As a result of this research, many cottage industries providing employment for Taos County residents have emerged.
Commonly owned land and facilities:
During the development of Phase Four, the sports park and community building located in Phase One will be developed.
At build out, there will be 347 acres of commonly owned land, a sports park and community building, a solar well, and two transfer stations. One transfer station will be in place at the opening of Phase Three and the other at the opening of Phase Four. All of these facilities will be maintained by the community after they are in place as administrated by the Board of Directors for the Greater World Community. The Initiator/Developer of the community will maintain the facilities that are in place until the opening of Phase Three. At that time a Board of Directors will be established to carry on with these responsibilities.
Transportation plan:
The main through road of the Greater World Community is called Earthship Way. This road will be a type B road at final build out. During development, parts of it will be compacted sub-grade prep for a type B road. It enters the community near the southern boundary of the property and exits near the northern boundary. Both of these highway access points were existing. One was for ranching and one was for the existing gravel pit.
There are two areas of the project that are inaccessible from this main through road due to the configuration of the lava gorge and its "tributaries". One of these areas is serviced by a minor road called Shell Lane and the other area inaccessible from Earthship Way is Lone tree Lane. Both of these roads and all other roads will be low impact and are to be eighteen feet wide and have type C surfaces with 50 foot radius cul-de-sacs at the end.
Roads will occur as phases are opened and as development requires.
|Commercial use areas:
There is only one light commercial area aimed at encouraging cottage industry and office or studio spaces. This area would accommodate any future non residential applications and would follow the same rules as the residential areas. This area is at the southern most end of the property on the beginning of Earthship Way and on Lava Lane. It is partially developed (before subdivision status) and scheduled for phase three.
Solid waste disposal plan
One transfer station will be at the northern end of the property and one will be toward the southern end. These transfer stations will provide "earth bermed bins" for aluminum cans, steel cans, plastics, glass bottles and jars, and tires. Compost is expected to be used by each home owner on their sites to help enrich the desert terrain. A leased dumpster from a local waste management company will be provided at each station for the remaining solid waste.

Map of the Greater World Subdivision
130 home sites totaling 286 acres
79 regular home sites - 3 acre mean
42 affordable home sites - 1 acre mean
9 home/light commercial sites - 1 acre mean
347 acres
Members will be provided with a membership certificate and a deed which will allow, define and locate the member's lodging site as well as their ultimate interest in the common lands. A membership can only be obtained by the purchase of a lot/building site. Lots are paid for in full before construction begins and before a deed or a membership certificate is granted. Members cannot build any more actual interior floor space than the square footage described on the membership certificate. A member must get Association approval by the community Design Review Board for and in some cases pay a fee for any land modifications, walls, fences or structures other than the square footage listed on the membership certificate. Each member's individually owned lot will be defined by survey and deed.
All members accepted into the association are assumed to understand and be in agreement with the experimental nature of the G.W. program. All members are also assumed to understand and be in agreement with the enforcements of these restrictions described in another paragraph of this document.
In that the Greater World Community became (at the mandate of Taos County) a subdivision after it was already established as a community, rules and regulations of the subdivision will prevail over previously established rules and regulations of the community.
All permanent buildings of any kind will be based on the Earthship concept as described in the books Earthship Volume I, Earthship Volume II, Earthship Volume III, and Comfort in any Climate. The homes will be subject to the Land Users Code of the Greater World Community in addition to the Uniform Building Code as used by the state of New Mexico. All design and construction drawing services shall be commissioned exclusively from Earthship Biotecture as this is the source of the most current developments in Earthship design. Except for specifically defined areas or specifically documented arrangements, all structural shells and utility systems will be built under direct supervision of Earthship Biotecture with the option of all interior design and finishing being completed by the owner. Variations will be subject to Greater World approval specifically by the Initiator or current Board of Directors. No portable "Out Buildings" allowed. If storage buildings are desired by members, the architectural nature of such storage buildings must conform to the "Earthship" concept or approved building variations described in the Greater World Land Users Code. Storage buildings can be unfinished on the inside. Open carports can be attached to the lodging or incorporated into the berm. Carports must be contained within 20'-0" of a non-buried exterior wall of the lodging. Enclosed automobile garages count as storage space and are subject to the same definitions, and restrictions. Trailers or mobile homes of all types will be prohibited except those mounted directly on a truck which complies with the large vehicle parking rules (See parking section of this document).
Two story buildings are generally discouraged, except in the southern most portion of the community, the commercial district. Certain building locations however, may lend themselves to two story construction, based on the Earthship concepts, such as steep slopes and lava rock terrain. Two story construction can be approved by the I nitiator or the Design Review Board on request and on a limited basis. In no case may two story construction be more than 30% of square footage on membership certificate unless a variance has been granted by the Initiator or the Design Review Board.
The Greater World community is not a forum for individual experimental projects. It is intended as a demonstration of sustainable living concepts already tested and proven by Earthship Biotecture. Earthship Biotecture is working in cooperation with the New Mexico Construction Industries Division and Taos County and will strictly enforce the Uniform Building Code and the New Mexico tire building code as well as specific sustainable mechanical systems designs discussed in another portion of this document. Aluminum can domes are allowed as long as they are associated with enough thermal mass so as not to require back up heat.
No dwellings will be started without building permits from the New Mexico Construction Industries Division or the Taos County Planning Department. At this time, the State of New Mexico requires an engineer's stamp of approval on all tire construction. Earthship Biotecture can be commissioned to provide these services and will advise members as to the most economical method to obtain permit drawings. All buildings must be built exactly as per permitted drawings.
Earthship Biotecture will build all structural shells with functioning sustainable mechanical systems except for specifically documented owner/builder exceptions. In the case of these exceptions the Earthship Biotectural Staff will inspect buildings under construction to enforce restrictions of this document at their own discretion. Owners may secure supervision, consultation or guidance from Earthship Biotecture. Fees will be charged as per the Earthship Biotecture fee schedule.
Owner built projects will be limited to specific areas with specific documentation to allow such and will be inspected periodically byEarthship Biotecture staff to insure soundness of structure, proper installation of electrical and plumbing systems and compliance with the Land Users Code. Owner built projects are encouraged but Earthship Biotecture must determine if the member is capable of such. Consultation fees will be charged as per the Earthship Biotecture fee schedule. No owner built structure may be sold without final inspection and approval by Earthship Biotecture.
All power, sewage and water systems must be designed and installed under the direct supervision of Earthship Biotecture. All mechanical systems must be built exactly as per permitted and approved drawings. This section will be strictly enforced. All Taos County specific permits and inspections are also required.
Propane is not meant to be the primary source of heat for any building. Propane tanks are allowed to provide heat for cooking and as a back-up for hot water and space heaters. These tanks must be incorporated into the landscape and painted to blend with such.
No power grid electricity shall run on this land. All energy will be solar or wind produced independently by home owners under supervision of Earthship Biotecture and in accordance with New Mexico Building Codes. Limited use of back up generators is allowed if the generator is operated so that neighbors cannot hear it. All electrical wiring shall be done by licensed electricians or by home owners who have passed the home owners wiring exam with appropriate electrical permits and inspections by local officials. It is assumed that all Greater World members are aware of the fact that energy conservation is mandatory in a home that employs solar and wind as the sole supply of electricity. To this end, people who are not capable of energy conservation are discouraged from purchasing a home or lot in this community.
Roof water catches will be built into each dwelling by owners to be used as the primary water supply. These catches will feed individual cisterns from which the water will be filtered and pressurized for household use by solar pumps. Design of these catches must be by Earthship Biotecture. Members will install their individual catches and cisterns at their own expense under supervision of Earthship Biotecture. These catches will be designed by Earthship Biotecture so the catch water will be suitable for drinking. A community well is in place in case of fire and/or emergency situations. It is assumed that all Greater World members are aware of the fact that water conservation is mandatory in a home that employs roof catch systems as the sole supply of water. People who are not capable of living with a conservative approach to the use of water are discouraged from buying a home or lot in this community.
Sewage systems for this community are absolutely conventional septic systems. In that water conservation is an issue, Earthship Biotecture has designed and developed a grey water recycling branch that is in addition to (not in place of) a conventional septic system. These grey water branches will be mandatory in each home as they extend the use of the limited supply of the water catchment systems described above. Members will reuse grey water for landscaping with guidance and approval of all systems from Earthship Biotecture. All toilet systems will employ conventional septic tanks and drainfields and will use additional rubber lined treatment cells for capturing the effluent for landscaping. People who are not willing or capable of maintaining the additional aspects of this sewage system are not encouraged to buy a home or lot in this community.
The Greater World Community is considered a demonstration of the best applications of the Earthship concepts. For this reason all utility apparatus (PV panels, hot water heaters, etc.) must be designed and built into a reasonable aesthetic subject to approval by the initiator and/or the board of directors.
All exterior finishes shall be color coated to blend with surrounding foliage and/or earth for purposes of lowering the overall impact of the architecture on the property. Earth and foliage colored stuccos and paints are required. All other finishes are subject to Design Review Board approval. Exterior tire work shall not remain exposed for more than 2 years at the Greater World.
All construction sites and home sites must be kept organized, neat and free from blowing debris, stacks of junk, garbage, etc. All construction sites are subject to Greater World standards of neatness and organization. Once buildings are complete, storage must be kept inside. Members are advised to allow sufficient storage space in their original building to allow for projected storage since no portable exterior storage units will be permitted. Members are advised to allow an unfinished "U" module specifically for storage. This paragraph will be strictly enforced.
Chain link fences are not allowed in the Greater World Community. Fences are to be of natural materials and approved by the community at large. Fences constructed in the Lemuria Gravel Pit Reclamation Project are to be plastered and are not to surround more than half the area of the member's lot.
The Greater World will immediately provide areas for collection and redistribution of tires, aluminum cans and glass bottles. All biodegradable compost will be used, by each member, for appropriate landscaping and permaculture methods. All other garbage will be taken to one of two Greater World transfer stations and removed under contract with Waste Management. This contract will be maintained by the Initiator and/or the Board of Directors and paid for with the annual dues for Greater World members. It is the members' responsibility under contract to get all recyclables and garbage to the collection areas and/or transfer stations delineated on the Greater World plat map and preliminary developmental maps used during earlier phase of development. Burning of trash is NOT allowed.
Parking at lodging sites will be permitted for 2 (only) transportation vehicles per the first 1000 s.f. of building space and 1 additional vehicle per each additional 1000 s.f. of building space. No junk or dead cars permitted on community land. The community will provide special low profile parking areas for RVs boats, trailers and other large vehicles. These large vehicles cannot be parked at the lodging sites. This will be strictly enforced.
All roads will be provided by the Developer as per Transportation Plan, Tab VI. of subdivision application. These roads will meet Taos County specifications for subdivisions or variances approved by the Transportation Authority and will be maintained by the community after total build out and initial road installation by the Initiator. Driveways and driveway culverts will be the responsibility of individual members and must be wide enough to accomodate emergency vehicles. For the safety of the members and wildlife and for the preservation of the roads, drivers will drive slowly and cautiously at all times.
No tree shall be cut or moved without approval by community directors. The member who moves trees and seedlings is responsible for their replanting elsewhere. No trees or landscaping will be permitted that cannot survive from catch water and/or swale systems.
LEMURIA (phase I)
A. All split level lots in the Lemuria (Phase 1/Gravel Pit Reclamation Project) must allow a forty foot easement across the southern boundary for drainage and green belt. No building, roads or fences are permanent in or across this easement.
B. Vehicular access to the lots on the northern boundary of the Gravel Pit Reclamation Project (Phase 1), is limited to North Lemuria Road. No vehicular access to the lots on the northern boundary of Phase 1 will be permitted from the lower South Lemuria Road. This will be strictly enforced.
C. All building in Phase 1 must be no closer than fifteen feet from property lines.
D. All buildings, walls and out buildings in Phase 1 must be finished on the outside within 12 months from the time of starting. Fines will be imposed for visible unfinished construction in Phase 1 after 12 months.
E. The exterior plaster, roofing and propane tank must be local earth tone colors. Up to 20% of the color may be an alternative complimentary accent color, but no more. These colors are required to be used on all buildings and walls in LEMURIA - the Gravel Pit Reclamation Project.
No large livestock will be permitted in gravel pit colony areas. Small numbers of small livestock (chickens, geese, ducks, goats etc.) will be permitted in any area provided the owner accommodates the animals in a responsible manner such that the animals are not a problem of any kind to neighbors. Large livestock will be confined to one or more common livestock areas to be designated if and when the need arises. Only one dog is allowed per 1000 s.f. of membership. All gravel pit colony memberships are limited to one dog. All dogs are the responsibility of their owners and are subject to community eviction and or specific neighborhood restrictions if necessary. Any dog caught killing livestock from neighboring ranches is subject to being shot by the specific neighbor in question. Complaints from neighbors about any dog or dogs will be acted upon by the Initiator or the Board of Directors.
Only members in good standing can participate in voting on any issue. Members in good standing are defined as follows:
1. Annual dues are paid up to date.
2. Signing the latest membership acceptance form which evolves from time to
time as the community growth and activities require.
3. Received not more than one certified letter of document violation.
Members, upon signing their membership acceptance form, document that they agree to and accept these restrictions and definitions as presented in the Articles of Association, By-laws and Land User's Code. All documents will evolve as per the conditions we encounter in the first five to ten years. Members will be required to validate their agreement to the various document up-dates by signing addendum's as they are issued. Refusal to sign a document update can result in that member not being allowed to vote on community issues.
Failure to follow the restrictions and definitions of the Land User's Code will result in a notice by certified mail or courier. If the specific member still fails to respond to the satisfaction of G.W. or the director/co-directors within two weeks, another certified notice will be sent. Failure to respond to the satisfaction of G.W. or the director/co-directors to the second notice within two weeks will be met with legal action. If legal action is taken against a member relative to enforcement, the member will be held responsible for all legal expenses incurred by the Greater World board of directors in the process of achieving enforcement against that member. Any member who has received a certified warning letter of any kind shall not be allowed on the Board of Directors for four years from the date of the certified letter. All members understand and agree to the above possibility with signing of the membership acceptance form.
The object of this endeavor is to make land available for individuals to participate in the pursuit of sustainable living methods. It is the opinion of the Intiator that these methods may provide more security than conventional methods in years to come. This is not a condominium project, nor a co-op. It is a subdivision governed by an unincorporated association of which all lot owners are members. Greater World is therefore neither a maintenance agency nor a care taker of the land or people. The people through a Board of Directors care for the land and facilities. Greater World is simply an association formed so that many people can use the land in an organized fashion to pursue a more mentally, physically, spiritually and ecologically healthy way of life on this planet Earth under the direction of the Greater World Land Users Code. Anyone not in full agreement with the above and unwilling to take responsibility themselves for their own participation in this project is not encouraged to buy a home or lot in this community. Potential members of this community should be advised that the energy and water conservation methods put into practice here will require them to adapt to some degree. It is the opinion of the Initiator that this type of adaptation will be required of conventional methods in years to come. This project is simply a trial run for things to come. It is not a typical subdivision. It is a demonstration project and potential members should consider this before they purchase a home or lot in this community.

POTSDAM - It sounds like a dream: winning a fellowship that covers college tuition and provides work experiences and research opportunities to help launch a career.
Clarkson University student Erin Corrigan 14 of Remsen is living that dream; she landed a Greater Research Opportunities Fellowship from the Environmental Protection Agency.
The GRO fellowship is worth $48,900 and will cover Corrigans tuition expenses for the remainder of her Clarkson career. Corrigan is one of 39 undergraduate students nationwide to receive the fellowship, which is meant to encourage careers in the environmental sciences.
Receiving this fellowship almost seems too good to be true with the potential to open up so many opportunities and help guide what direction I want to go with my life, said Corrigan.
Corrigan, an environmental science and policy major in Clarksons Institute for a Sustainable Environment, will be placed at an EPA research location this summer in either Golden, Colo., or Corvallis, Ore., for an internship. She will also complete a research project before she graduates; her work may involve analyzing the carbon footprint Clarkson Universitys dining services generates. The project would offer solutions on how campus dining could reduce its carbon footprint, such as buying more local food to cut down on transportation pollution.
Corrigan grew up near the southern fringe of the Adirondack Park and has always enjoyed hiking, camping and being outdoors. Those interests helped spur her passion for environmental sciences.
The more youre out there, the more you appreciate it, she said.
Environmental Health Sciences Professor Alan Rossner, Corrigans advisor, said the fellowship is indicative of her work ethic and interest in environmental science.
It says a lot about her leadership potential, her leadership now and how that will grow as she moves forward, said Rossner.
The internship will be invaluable as Corrigan launches her career, Rossner said.
Thats worth more than any money. You get to work with scientists in the top of their field. It puts you in the middle of conducting research, he said. Its going to help her say This is what I really want to do in graduate school.

NEWPORT-The North Country Falcons finally put away visiting BFA St. Albans after halting several Bobwhite runs to take a 71-66 win at Falcon Gym. The last contest played during the 2011 calender year gave NCU their third triumph of the season, one more than they achieved all last winter.
BFA fought to the end, erasing a 16 point Falcon lead down to three with 8 seconds to go. Their attempted tying three pointer caromed off the back iron.
NEWPORT–Revenge is a dish best served cold. With temperatures hovering around the single digits on Thursday night, the Falcon basketball girls avenged their season opener loss to Lyndon Institute with a resounding 61-35 beat down of their neighbors from the south.
Signs pointed to a rough and tumble rematch for North Country. Emma Joslin was on the bench early with two fouls, but the team rallied around her by spreading out the offense to build a 13-7 first quarter lead.
JAY–After a magnificent game the last time these two teams met back in March (albeit the post game stuff was not so great), the anticipation level was high when the Essex Hornets came in to square off against the North Country boys hockey team Friday night at Jay Peak.
Instead, despite a revamping of the lines in hopes of generating more offense, the Falcons fell 5-2 to the boys in gold and blue.
However, in the loss, coach Andrew Roy was quick to talk about the positives from the game.
ORLEANS–Lake Region dropped its' 5th straight contest Friday night in a match-up against the Lyndon Institute Vikings by the score of 49-39.
The Rangers looked determined to end the losing streak and started off the contest better than their last matchup against the Vikes. In their previous meeting, the blue and white found themselves trailing 19-4 after the first 8 minutes of play.
ORLEANS-The Lake Region Lady Rangers and Windsor Yellow Jackets have waged some epic battles in championship play since 2007. The pair of perennial championship contenders have made a habit out of playing big games against each other. Windsor has had the last word winning three of four title clashes. They have combined a strong skill set with a little good fortune, as they have played the LR girls with the Rangers down a key player in the last two title games.
NEWPORT–In the second half of the double-header, it was the UCA boys squaring off against the Websterville Baptist Warriors. The contest could be called a soul crushing defeat for United Christian, as the Crusaders as dropped the game 93 -27 to the Warriors.
"Obviously the score reflects that they were definitely the better team today," said Coach Tony DeLaBruere.
At the start of the game UCA seemed to be able to run with the quick moving Warriors.
NEWPORT–It was a tough day at the court for the UCA Lady Crusaders on Tuesday, as they fell to the Chelsea Red Devils 65-23.
The first quarter started out optimistically for UCA. The two teams traded baskets with Laura Libby putting up six points in the opening eight minutes to lead the Crusaders.
"I was very pleased to have us come out and play in the first quarter," said coach Sarah Roy,"They pressed us and we handled the press ok."
JAY–After back to back years of thrilling overtime wins and crushing lopsided defeats against Mount Mansfield, the North Country girls hockey team finally had their revenge, dominating the Cougars in a 6-3 win Thursday night.
"It was great," said assistant coach Tracy Muzerall, who has felt the Cougars' bite in the past, "Every year every teams' dynamic is different and this year we have a great group of girls and a great group of freshman who are stepping up to the plate and playing lead roles on the team."
JAY–In the second game of the hockey double header, the stands were full of recent North Country graduates, on hand to watch their alma mater win a close 3-2 game over the Burlington Seahorses.
In their first encounter, the Falcons scored four goals in five minutes en route to an 8-3 win at Leddy Park.
This game would be much different.
North Country had the momentum early, but penalties slowed them down and allowed Burlington to take the advantage through the middle stages of the first period.
NEWPORT-- The North Country Falcons faced off against the Missisquoi Thunderbirds for the 2nd time in 2 weeks on Friday.
After dropping the first contest, they avenged their loss, walking away with a 61-51 victory, while holding the T-Birds leading scorer Matt St. Amour to 16 points after he had scored 40 in the previous meeting.
Caleb Prue and Tyler Paxman connected early, putting North Country out on top 10-6 midway through the first. The quarter would end in favor of NCU, with Jason Hatin going on a personal 4-0 run to push the score to 14-11.

The goal of this study is to find out if there is any association between a mother's exposure to bacteria that normally causes "strep throat" and her baby's developing heart disease/heart defect.
Congenital Heart Disease in Pregnancy
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Observational Model: Cohort
Time Perspective: Prospective
|Official Title:
|Evaluation of Maternal B-hemolytic Streptococcal Pharyngeal Exposure in Pregnancies Affected by Congenital Heart Disease(CHD)
- Title: Evaluation of Maternal ß-hemolytic Streptococcal Pharyngeal Exposure in Pregnancies Affected by Congenital Heart Disease [ Time Frame: 01/15/2010 - 12/31/2014 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]History of strep infection using a detailed questionnaire and maternal medical records (primary end-point) and (b) maternal titers of the anti-strep antibody, anti-streptolysin O (ASO) (secondary endpoint).
- Title: Evaluation of Maternal ß-hemolytic Streptococcal Pharyngeal Exposure in Pregnancies Affected by Congenital Heart Disease [ Time Frame: 01/15/2010 - 12/31/2014 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]To determine if mothers of babies with HLHS have a significant history of strep infections
Biospecimen Retention: Samples With DNA
Confirmation of maternal ß-hemolytic streptococcal & enterovirus infection(s) will be determined from nose and rectal swabs & blood samples assayed for standard marker antibodies to ß-hemolytic streptococcal & enterovirus exposure.

Moms w/ Other congential heart defect)
Moms fetal diagnosis -other congenital heart defects
Moms-fetal - echo normal
Moms echo fetal diagnosis is normal.
Random Healthy Moms
Mom with healthy pregnancy.
Detailed Description:
The primary objective of this study is to:
- measure maternal ß-hemolytic streptococcal carriage as defined by positive throat cultures in the absence of symptoms among Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS) mothers.
- define the incidence of positive strep throat cultures among asymptomatic pregnant women, identified at <18 weeks gestation and followed to term.
- Measure antibodies that may cross react to select valvular/myocardial antigens in HLHS/Congenital Heart Defect(CHD)-other neonates born to mothers in the study
- determine serum and/or tissue reactivity against antibodies in matched maternal serum.
The secondary objectives of this study is to:
- measure maternal ß-hemolytic streptococcal serology using standard serology testing among HLHS mothers.
- determine the history of maternal ß-hemolytic streptococcal exposure using a study questionnaire among HLHS mothers.
Determine "baseline" strep serologies and history of strep exposure among a cohort of asymptomatic pregnant women, identified at <18 weeks gestation and followed to term.
The overall purpose of this study is to evaluate the history of β-hemolytic streptococcal pharyngeal exposure, groups A, G and C ("strep throat") in pregnant women whose pregnancies have been complicated by the diagnosis of congenital heart disease. Our short-term goal is to identify a potential association of an antecedent maternal strep throat exposure in pregnancy to identify a subset of heart defects
- To determine if co-infections play a role in congenital heart defects

"The program's came out great! I had a hard time with the spacing but the design team helped me out and we were so happy with the final product!"
"Initially thought we'd design our own program. Elected to go with this beautiful and simple design. Many compliments as it added a stylish and superior quality look & feel to what we had hoped to do. Lightning fast turn-around. Love that we can design with template to organize detail and see it on the screen. Thanks WPD!"
"The paper quality & ink used are gorgeous. The programs were delivered with a pre-made crease to make it easier to fold them in half. Prompt delivery."
"This program was everything I'd hoped it would be. It is perfect and flawless in every way. If looking for a wedding program, I would highly recommend this one."

Mets have money to spend, still looking to fill holes
"The Mets have quite a bit of money left to spend (this winter)," CBSSports.com's Jon Heyman said on Twitter.
According to Heyman, the Mets are still looking for an outfielder, reliever and starting pitcher.
In regards to the rotation, this winter, the Mets have been most linked in rumors to Shaun Marcum, Joe Saunders, Carl Pavano and Chris Young, though Jair Jurrjens, Kyle Lohse, Derek Lowe and Daisuke Matsuzaka, among others, are also available.
Matthew Cerrone, Lead Writer
Last week I said, "From what I can gather, the Mets are looking to give only a one-year deal (to a starting pitcher). They have the money to pay any of the above, but they would prefer not to give out a long-term contract. They're using New York City, their pitcher's park and a guaranteed spot in the rotation as bait."
My guess is they're hoping to sway Marcum, who would be a good fit. He has lots of upside, but could need to settle for a one-year deal with incentives, since he's got lots of questions surrounding his elbow and shoulder. I'm also liking the idea of Dice-K, who might benefit from moving to a pitcher's park in the National League. He's had a series of bizarre, random injuries. If he's healthy, he's intriguing, plus he'd add a little buzz to this team. However, the buzz around Matsuzaka is that he wants to either pitch in San Diego or Japan.
Frankly, I'm far more concerned with the outfield. I just don't understand what Sandy Alderson is doing.
It looks like the Red Sox are keeping Jacoby Ellsbury. Coco Crisp can be had, but Oakland is not pressured to move him. Michael Bourn is still seeking a long-term contract. Scott Hairston is waiting on the Yankees, and a few other teams. And after that, it's the same old unimpressive crop of scrap-heap minor league deals waiting to compete in Spring Training.
I realize options are limited, money or no money. But, something has got to happen, and time is winding down here. Lucas Duda and the Platoon Partners is just not good enough…

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — If the U.S. becomes the world's largest oil producer within the next decade, the energy market landscape will undergo some radical changes that may ultimately succeed in easing some of the volatility it's been known for — but the nation will still rely heavily on imports.
In a report this week, the Paris-based International Energy Agency forecast that the United States will become the largest global oil producer, overtaking Russia and Saudi Arabia, by around 2020. See: U.S. set to overtake Saudi Arabia in oil output: IEA.
U.S. may be top oil producer by 2020
The U.S. could overtake Saudi Arabia as the world's largest oil producer by 2020 due to a boom in shale oil. How will that impact global energy supplies and geopolitics?
"The global energy map is changing, with potentially far-reaching consequences for energy markets and trade," the IEA said in its World Energy Outlook 2012 report. "Energy developments in the United States are profound, and their effect will be felt well beyond North America and the energy sector."
That offers a glimmer of hope that the U.S. rise to the top as an oil producer will benefit the world, as well as lift the nation closer to energy independence.
"The gradual pilgrimage of oil supplies to politically more stable nations such as the U.S. should … reduce the geopolitical swing associated with the oil price," said Matthew Parry, senior oil-market analyst at the IEA. "We can at least hope."
The oil-futures market got a taste of that "geopolitical swing" on Wednesday. Prices swung from a modest loss to jump more than $1 a barrel at the session's peak, as news that an Israeli airstrike killed a Hamas leader in Gaza raised concerns about supplies from the oil-rich Middle East. See: Oil ends higher, Mideast tension threatens supply.
"Once [oil] production has risen to the point where there is ample surplus capacity, fears of disruptions will diminish," said Michael Lynch, president of Strategic Energy & Economic Research.
That's not to say that price volatility is a thing of the past. "If the Saudis and others allow capacity to dwindle in response to weaker demand for their crude, the possibility of a supply loss will still alarm markets and cause spikes," said Lynch.
Still, the IEA's prediction offers a "sign that the period of constrained supply is over, and prices will be lower and more stable than the past decade," he said.
Production boom
That's good news for oil traders and investors, but it shouldn't come as a big surprise.
"There is no question that U.S. oil production has been on a steep rise since the lows of 2008," said Dan Gundersen, vice president of energy finance for Sandstorm Metals & Energy Ltd. CA:SND US:STTYF "Improvements in well-stimulation technology have made it possible to effectively access previously uneconomic oil resources."
In addition, "the price of the commodity has especially motivated exploration and production companies to focus on oil over [natural] gas for the past few years," he said. Crude-oil futures US:CLF3 on the New York Mercantile Exchange settled near $100 a barrel in September, though have since pulled back to around $85.
U.S. field production of crude oil was at around 4 million barrels a day in September 2008, climbing to nearly 6.2 million barrels a day in August 2012, according to Energy Information Administration data.
"The success in applying horizontal drilling and improved fracking technology developed for natural gas to oil-bearing shale ... is evident in North Dakota's Bakken and the Eagle Ford in Texas and other areas," said James Williams, an energy economist at WTRG Economics.

We chatted with Chris Kreider, who's jaw
visibly dropped when Jeff Skinner was taken by Carolina at No. 7, Friday night about the draft and being involved in the play that resulted in Derek Stepan's concussion during the final game of the Frozen Four.
BB: As you watch the draft and look back on last year, tell us what's going on in the minds of these kids tonight?
CK: Just excited to be there. Obviously there's a lot more
hype for guys taken in the top 10. But
really you just have to enjoy yourself. It's a bit different for guys in the top 10 though. It's still surreal and gets me excited. It makes me want to work that much harder.
BB: Is Derek Stepan mad at you for concussing him in the
NCAA Championship game?
CK: He doesn't
remember it. ButI didn't concuss
him, I think he might have caught an
edge there. I wouldn't be mad at him,
it's just playing hard and things happen.
BB: Is there anyone you're really pulling for tonight?
CK: [Cam] Fowler and [Jack] Campbell. The US
guys, I played with them so I'm definitely pulling for them.
BB: Your remarkable
success this year is well documented, does any accomplishment stick out?
CK: The body of work
on the whole. They were all special in
their own way.
BB: What's your goal for this year?
CK: To do it all
again this year and just to get better.
BB: Do you have a
goal timewise, for making the Rangers?
CK: No timeline. Maybe up here (points to head).
BB: Are you looking forward to the Prospect Camp next week?
CK: Yeah, there's going to be a lot of physical testing but
I look at it as a measuring stick to see how far I've progressed this year.
BB: Do you pay close
attention to Rangers roster moves and who they may take in the draft?
CK: I pay pretty close attention to them. I'm really a big fan of the game so it gets
my attention for sure.
BB: You played in
middle school with Ryan Bourque, would you say he's your best friend in the
Rangers system?
CK: Yeah, him and Stepan
BB: Even though you concussed him?
CK: (Laughs) I didn't concuss him.

When our company was started, the e-cigarette industry was full of bulky and complicated vaping devices. Even the mini-style e-cigarettes contained multiple parts, making them difficult and messy to use.
Our founders saw tremendous potential in e-cigarettes, and they decided to market a device that was more user-friendly. To this end, our e-cigarettes are intricate in design, but easy to use. Just put a cartridge on, and start puffing.
The internal processes however are far more complex. When you take a puff, a sensor is activated. The sensor triggers the smart chip. The smart chip, which is in charge of turning the battery cell on and off, activates the battery.
The activated battery powers a heating element inside the cartridge. The heating element vaporizes the e-liquid, turning it into a thick, realistic vapor. The vapor generally contains nicotine and flavors.
This whole process takes milliseconds — from your perspective you draw on the e-cigarette, enjoy the flavor, and exhale. Simple. Easy. Pleasurable. That's what we're all about.
If you are not interested in all the nitty-gritty technicalities, then we recommend skipping this section. For those who want to know, read on!
E-Cigarettes have two main parts, but inside each part are multiple components:
Battery: The stainless-steel battery casing holds a lithium polymer battery cell, a smart chip, a sensor, and a small LED light. At one end is the LED cap. At the other end is a connector piece. This is used to connect the e-cig battery into the USB charger and for connecting the battery to the cartridge.
The battery supplies the power to the heating element, and is activated by the sensor when you inhale. The LED light glows while vaping, and also lets you know when the battery needs recharging.
Cartridge: The e-cig cartridge casing holds e-liquid components and electrical components. At one end is a mouthpiece. At the other end is a connector piece, which is used to connect the cartridge onto the battery.
The e-liquid is stored in an absorbent pad and the heating element vaporizes the e-liquid that is delivered from the absorbent pad via high-temperature wicks.
Our cartridges include FlavorShield™ technology to ensure a long-lasting vaping experience. Read more...
Our specially formulated e-cigarette liquid includes tobacco-derived nicotine, glycerol, propylene glycol, and flavors.
Glycerol and propylene glycol form a thick, clear liquid that produce the vapor effect.
We use flavors to create our seven sensational e-cig flavor blends. Our popular Menthol Ice™ specifically includes menthol in its formulation.
In addition, our vapor has only the slightest smell. The odor might linger for 1-2 seconds, but it's generally the fragrance corresponding to the flavors in the liquid. Most people consider the smell to be quite pleasant. You can enjoy a vaping session, and seconds later, no one will be able to tell.
The final part of our liquid, nicotine, is derived from tobacco. We offer five levels of nicotine in every e-cig flavor blend: 0%, 0.6%, 1.2%, 1.8%, and 2.4% (NBW).
In today's ever-expanding e-cig market, the Green Smoke® brand stands apart. While everyone claims to have the highest vapor volume, richest taste, the longest lasting batteries, and industry-leading quality, the real proof is in the pleasure.
Look at customer reviews on our website — you can see that customers testify about the quality of our product. Our cartridges alone have over 4,000 reviews, and average 5/5 stars. We feel that the tremendous amount of time, energy, and money that we invest in research, development, and quality control is clear, once you try our e-cigarettes.
Plus, we back our words with action, and guarantee your total satisfaction. You can return every one of our starter kits for 100% money back — we'll even pay for the return shipping. How many e-cigarette companies offer that? Our no-hassle refund policy lets you try our product with peace of mind.
Better yet, we're more than happy to offer you a Green Smoke® coupon to lower your initial costs. Just because. Experience our starter kits for yourself. They have everything you need to vape, and offer the best value on our site. Shop kits now

It's hard to know which is the more infuriating, the Transportation Security Administration's (TSA) initial barbarity in picking on Mrs. Lena Reppert, a 95-year-old lady dying of leukemia, or its defense of this indefensible atrocity: "The [TSA] stood by its security officers Sunday after a Florida woman complained that her cancer-stricken, 95-year-old mother was patted down and forced to remove her adult diaper while going through security."
And the "Florida woman" should know: the TSA brutalized her as well since she accompanied her mother. Jean Weber reports that Ms. Reppert "entered the airport's security checkpoint in a wheelchair because she was not stable enough to walk through…" Indeed, she had endured "a blood transfusion the week before, just to bolster up her strength for this travel." Healthy teens need to bolster up their strength when travelling through aviation's gulag; how much more an ancient invalid?

POTSDAM A Winthrop man was killed Monday afternoon when an SUV crossed the center line of Route 11 and crashed head-on into his van, state police at Canton said.
Lawrence E. Wagstaff Jr., 66, of 967 County Route 49, was pronounced dead at the scene of the 1:13 p.m. crash by St. Lawrence County Coroner June H. Wood, troopers confirmed Monday night.
The other driver, Anna Manning, 63, of Parishville, was transported to Canton-Potsdam Hospital suffering from abdominal pains, troopers said. Ms. Mannings injuries were not believed to be life-threatening.
State police said Ms. Manning apparently became distracted and lost control of the 2008 Chevrolet blazer she was driving. The SUV then crossed into the opposite lane of Route 11 near Regan Road, colliding with the 1994 Ford Econoline van driven by Mr. Wagstaff.
Alcohol is not suspected as a factor in the crash, troopers said.
An autopsy on Mr. Wagstaffs body was scheduled for 3:30 p.m. New Years Day at Canton-Potsdam Hospital, Ms. Wood said.
Ms. Manning was ticketed with failure to keep right, troopers said. She is scheduled to answer the charge Jan. 10 in Potsdam Town Court.

John Lewis may have been the leading name in the roll call of winners at last week's Verdict Customer Satisfaction Awards, but the Verdict poll of 5,900 consumers also revealed the winning retailers within individual sectors. Verdict's analysts give their insight into why these retailers stood out to their customers.
The Spanish government is to review its policies relating to the fuel retail industry due to low levels of competition and rising fuel prices. If the review - which aims to reduce the regulatory hurdles involved in opening new fuel outlets, restrict the power of large oil companies and increase competition - is passed, the Spanish service station sector could attract more supermarket players.
Home improvement retailer Kingfisher has experienced a largely positive 2010 so far, with retail profit boosted by an increased focus on cost efficiency and cash generation. However, with its key markets - particularly the UK and Ireland - showing no imminent signs of significant upturn, 2010 is shaping up to be a difficult year for the group.
Department store chain John Lewis has been voted the UK's favorite retailer in a poll of over 6,000 shoppers. Indeed, despite a more competitive retail sector and increasingly fickle consumers, John Lewis managed to increase its overall satisfaction score since last year, giving it a considerable lead over all other retailers and the highest score ever attained in the Index.
John Lewis Partnership has reported a 10% rise in pre-tax profits to GBP251.8 million for the year ended January 28, and each of John Lewis's 64,000 staff will receive a bonus equal to eight weeks' salary. Despite being a year the company described as its most difficult for 15 years, the group has produced a robust result.
Verdict Research's annual consumer satisfaction index has revealed that Britain's most popular store is John Lewis, with the supermarket Waitrose, also owned by John Lewis Partnership, ranked number two. The results of the survey, combined with strong Christmas sales, show that a good shopping experience is vital to retail success.
Sales of large sizes of women's clothes on the high street dropped 2.8% to 61.6% of total women's clothing sales in the 12 weeks to November 2005 compared to last year, while online and mail-order sales rose 1.2%. As the figures suggest, the high street may be failing to provide everything this demographic seeks.
Two new surveys show customer satisfaction with the bankrupt US retailer to be below the industry average. Kmart will have to work hard through 2002 to improve its image and hit the goal of profitability in 2003. The turnaround will inevitably involve addressing the in-store consumer experience, as well as creating a strong brand independent of price.

The Icelandic Minster for Education and Culture, Katrín Jakobsdóttir, on her bicycle in Rejkjavik.
Thanks to Morten for the link.
What is cycling culture like in Iceland/Reykjavik?
I was there in Easter and the weather is pretty tough. Reykjavik doesn't even have any pedestrian streets as far as I can recall. I assumed hat was because they've a veyr car-centric culture (and not the same traffic problems as larger populations)
This is our opposition leader in Australia:
Here's our mayor in Seattle on Bike to work day (which for him is every day):
@Kevin Cannon:
Cycling culture in Reykjavík, and I dare say the country is getting healthier every year.
But I find it difficult right now to decide how to define bicycle culture :-) Still I'll mention the cycle to work campaign, that started in 2002 with 500 participants. Last spring there were
9455 participants, or ca 3% of the entire population which is higher than in any other country I have heard of. Four - 4 government ministers met at the opening of the campaign in May.
A few days a year ( 5 or 10) we have storms that blow cars off the roads. Few people cycle on those days. But last winter we had much less snow than Copenhagen.
There is now one short, pedestrian street, and the Clown party ( BEST party) in the city have added many temporary "street openings" this summer. Hope to add more later (?)
Iceland has a helmet law of some type, doesn't it? Is it for minors only?
Yes, in Iceland there is helmet compulsion for children and youngsters under 15 years, under a bylaw, but (generally) not enforced. There are stories from some years back of police confiscating bikes. The compulsion was set to be extended to adults in 2005, by a decision in the Ministry for Transport. It seems the Ministry did listen to reason then, but nothing official was released about the decision. And now there is a proposition before the parliament from the Ministry to cement the compulsion by moving it from bylaw to law. The ministry seems to have completely ignored the arguments against the compulsion, and have not presented any arguments in favour of compulsion during the "consultations" on the changing of the law. Same story as in most other places with compulsion.
On the other hand, in recent years "casual" cycling has increased, so there are conflicting trends.
Thank you, Morten.

A swirling dervish bass the likes of which you've never seen before.
This thing is so wild we're hard-pressed to come up with a bass that has a longer, pointier lower bout than the newly-designed Danelectro Wild Thing Electric Bass Guitar. The swirling white pickguard accentuates the body's radical curvature and its contrast with the body finish imparts a distinct yin/yang vibe. Of course Danelectro has long been the instrument of choice for musicians who want to make a bold, distinctive visual statement with its bottle-shaped headstock and lipstick pickups while taking advantage of the Danelectro's easy playability and a price tag that won't cause financial meltdown.

Comments about Danelectro Wild Thing Electric Bass Guitar:
I've had mine for a little over 2 weeks now. This is only the second time I've bought an instrument without playing it first. I decided to take a chance on it because it's inexpensive, I LOVE the way it looks, and I like how Fat Mike's DC3 sounds.
Mine was made in Korea (they just moved production back there for 2012). The scale length is actually 30", not 32. This was not set up very well at the factory. The strings were really loose; I was getting all buzz and no tone quality from the first 3 or 4 frets. Adjusting the truss rod and putting on new strings helped. Intonation just sort of disappears around the 9th or 10th fret, especially on the bottom 2 strings. I am still experimenting with the bridge (you can adjust it - just not very easily), but I don't expect it to ever be perfect.
As far as looks go, everyone who's seen it so far has been impressed. The picture doesn't do the blue finish justice, and the other thing you can't really see is the white "ostrich" side tape, which looks really cool. I like the look of the stacked knobs, even if they are super-cheap plastic.
Neck pickup sounds like it should, bridge sounds a little too hollow for my taste, but when they work together you can get a variety of rich tones (not to mention loud).
My only other complaint is I wish it came with a gig bag. I was worried about the upper bout's irregular shape. I took it to my local George's and it does fit into all the bags they sell - but just barely.
Overall, it's a cool-looking, fun-to-play instrument at a reasonable price. Get it if you want something that looks obnoxious, you want a lightweight short-scale bass, or if you just wish you were in NOFX.
Comments about Danelectro Wild Thing Electric Bass Guitar:
This is a great looking bass! I got it in black. I think the black is very classy looking. Love the lipstick pick-ups, makes for a great sound plugged in! And since it's a Dano, the semi hollow body gives it ALMOST an acoustic sound. I can hear myself playing this much louder than my solid body basses. I don't really like the pick guard. It's textured, and feels very flimsy and cheap. The bass is inexpensive, but I own another Dano that is way better quality. Overall the sound is great, if you're looking for the old school retro sound. Also, out of the box, after tuning it, there is still a little fret buzz. It's easily fixed with a little adjusting and better strings. This thing is larger than my two other basses but SOO much lighter! You can really thrash around with this beauty! Love this bass for the value.
Loved the stacked tone and volume controls! Cleaner, cooler look!
Some of the features are cheap. But hey, look at the price.
Perfectly priced for the sound!
Comments about Danelectro Wild Thing Electric Bass Guitar:
Like the onboard electronice so you can use either pickup or both. Has lots of treble if you do lead or solo bass runs!
The new WILD THING BASS from Danelectro looks real cool on stage. Wild shape and two famous lipstick pick ups with onboard electronice for using either pick up or both. Lots of treble if you do lots of bass runs! I use this with my Peavey Firebass 700 amp and Kustom tuck n' roll cab with 2-15's! Monster sound. I ordered mine in blue. Lightweight and real retro looking! Danelectro has done it again. I just wish they had it available in more color choices. Like Purple! Anyway, very decent bass for the money! Dude, it's a Dano!

The Orioles have had quite a few players injured this spring...but it's looking more and more likely that all will be ready Opening Day aside from Justin Duchscherer.
Derrek Lee is in today's lineup and should be good to go for the regular season as long as there are no setbacks.
Brian Roberts is still dealing with some back problems but took live BP yesterday and could sneak into Monday's game.
I am still a bit worried about Duchscherer and do not think he will be ready come opening day.
Overall, the injuries aren't looking as bad as they seemed at first.

If you're anything like us, you appreciate beauty guru François Nars' incredible artistry--the man is the Michelangelo of makeup, after all--but the thought of actually emulating his incredible work probably seems like an impossible feat. But what once felt out of reach is now completely feasible, thanks to Nars' new book Makeup Your Mind: Express Yourself and its companion website. While the book is unquestionably a masterpiece, the site is truly an ingenious idea. In addition to being an informative resource with tips and trick galore, it's also a beauty game that encourages you to pick one of 12 looks from the book and re-create it yourself. Once done, you can upload an image of your handiwork to the site, where fellow beauty aficionados view and vote on the way you executed the look. Even better: the people who get the most votes will receive one of 13 prizes, including a trip to New York City to join the NARS team backstage during Fashion Week! Can you imagine winning that? It's basically the definition of a priceless opportunity!
So whether you're ready to show off your makeup skills, want to see other people's work, or are simply curious about the stories behind these key looks, be sure to check out MakeupYourMind.com today. The game is running from now until August 31, 2011, but you can see who's winning thus far by simply visiting NARS' http://www.facebook.com/narscosmetics Facebook page. But regardless of why you visit the site, one thing's for sure: NARS has brought their signature brilliance to the web in a big way!

KOA—Wisconsin Dells Campground
Editor's Review
The KOA—Wisconsin Dells Campground offers a prime location close to the heart of downtown, yet tucks into a quiet little pocket of woods providing guests a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of tourist season.
The meticulously maintained campground features squeaky-clean bathrooms and showers. Campsites include spacious pull-through RV sites, quaint wooden cabins and rustic tent sites. Proximity to the Dells provides lots of off-site recreational opportunities, but there are plenty of activities to keep campers occupied at the campground as well, such as volleyball, basketball, a small pool, a playground, movies, candy bar bingo and campfire sing-alongs.
Perhaps the best thing about KOA—Wisconsin Dells is its value. This is a clean place run by friendly folks in the heart of the Dells, and even during the high season when the plainest motel rooms cost well over $100 per night, campground visitors can get away with spending half that much. Standard RV sites start at $45 in-season, tents from $30, and cabins from $69.

|Man Critically Hurt in Watauga Wreck
A Watauga County man was listed in critical condition yesterday at the Johnson City Medical Center after a single-vehicle crash Saturday night on NC 194 North near Castle Ford Road. The 7:40pm crash caused 66-year old Lowell Miller a serious neck injury that was bleeding heavily when called in
by those first on the scene, as well as leg injuries. Watauga Rescue joined Meat Camp Fire/First Responders and Watauga Medics at the scene as Miller was trapped inside for about an hour while WINGS Air Rescue was dispatched to a landing zone set up at Hardin Park School by Boone Fire. The chopper had to wait on the ground for the crews at the wreck site to free Miller, but the George Moretz Lane man was finally lifted away and rushed to the Tennessee hospital. Trooper Goldsmith said Lowell Miller was in critical condition upon arrival, and remained so when he talked with hospital officials yesterday. He said Miller was alone in the 2012 Honda SUV, and that he ran off of the road to the right, struck a tree, and the vehicle landed back out in the road on its side, but what might have led to the accident was still under investigation.
