History of the Orpheum Theatre
- About »
- History
Our home is the Orpheum Theatre, one of the finest historic buildings in central Illinois. This beloved facility is one of the best examples of adaptive reuse of an historic structure in the country.
The New Orpheum Theatre opened on October 19, 1914 as both a vaudeville theater and a "moving picture" house. All the great stars of the Orpheum Theatre Circuit played Champaign, and it was considered to be the finest theater in downstate Illinois. The Orpheum is a one-third scale model of the opera hall at Versailles and one of the earliest designs of the prestigious architectural firm of Rapp and Rapp of Chicago.
The theater closed in 1986 and stood vacant until 1989, when PACA began its campaign to save the theater. In 1992, it was purchased and renovated for a hands-on science museum. Museum doors were opened on December 27, 1994. The second phase of construction was completed in 2000, which included the vestibule, lobby, and mezzanine. A detailed history of the Orpheum is available here.
The museum continues to grow, add new exhibits, and educational opportunities. We are currently planning for expanding the facility while renovating the theater through a generous matching grant by the National Park Service. We are proud to be a member of Museum at the Crossroads, which is a consorium of museums of Champaign County.

EDIT Nov. 10, 2013: It has come to our attention that ever since the XY anime started in Japan, someone has been posting highly inaccurate translations of these episodes on the internet within a few hours of their airing. These "translations" are a combination of machine translations and pure guesswork, and provide largely incorrect explanations of what is being said in the episodes.
We would like to warn posters against these and ask that they do their best to avoid them, instead using the episode review threads to ask Japanese-fluent members for clarification as to what was going on in scenes rather than assume this "translator"'s explanation was accurate.
We're changing up our policy regarding "live" reviews for new Japanese episodes. The previous announcement was pretty much ineffective so as of now, we'll take a different (and hopefully more simple!) approach:
1. Please do not post before an episode begins airing. An episode which hasn't even started yet can't be reviewed. I know the speculation threads tend to get closed a little early - sorry for the inconvenience - but we're confident you can hold on for 1-2 hours.
2. While an episode is still airing (7 PM JST until "To be Continued"/"Next Time... A new beginning!" appears on screen), you can only post ONCE. That's right, only one live review from now on. Sorry to those who actually bothered to make elaborate posts during a broadcast, but too many people seemed to abuse the opportunity to make multiple, extremely short posts in quick succession. We encourage you to make use of the Edit Post option to "update" your posts with more/better content as the episode progresses.
3. Your message needs to address the content of the episode. Remarks about your streaming options/quality, commercials, opening/ending themes, next episode previews or Professor Oak's live caster have no place in episode discussion threads. The former two because meatloaf, the latter because they (can) have their own designated threads in the Spoilers section.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact an anime mod!

I worked at SRP
Pros – You won't be working long into the night as the company definitely has a "nine to five" culture. Most work weeks will be 40 hours (nominal) and less than that after you net out your long lunches and ample morning and afternoon breaks. The quality cafeteria is an indication of, and inducement to, the social culture prevalent here.
Additionally, you'll enjoy relative job security so long as you keep yourself positioned in a core business function and ensure good relations with your immediate supervisor.
Cons – Despite a "flattening" of the "spans and layers" several years ago, there continues to be an excessive middle management cadre with little to do. As a result you'll find yourself in meetings with no clear purpose and too many attendees, and probably be subjected to weekly status meetings and/or written status reports. Salary administration is driven by a cumbersome and unhelpful annual performance review process, and the annual raise percentage spread between outstanding, average, and below average performers is such that it will take many years for a meaningful pay delta to emerge. Top performers could earn far more, and be given greater responsibility, elsewhere. Many will nevertheless stay at SRP for the job security and great benefits.
Advice to Senior Management – Trim the fat out of the middle management ranks. Too many managers with little to do but take long lunches with each other on the company expense account. Push responsibility down to the "worker" level and eliminate the time wasted in meetings and reporting to your boss so he can report to his boss, etc.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

Pittsburgh, PA (SportsNetwork.com) - Something had to give in a matchup between a team unbeaten at home and another without a loss on the road.
The sublime play of Jean-Sebastien Giguere maintained Colorado's unblemished road mark.
The veteran goaltender made 34 saves as the Avalanche blanked the Pittsburgh Penguins 1-0 at CONSOL Energy Center.
Giguere picked up his third win in as many starts this season and his second shutout, keeping Pittsburgh captain Sidney Crosby off the scoresheet for the first time. Crosby had totaled seven goals and 10 assists during his eight- game point streak to begin the season.
"You have to respect him, but at the same time as a goalie you have to be ready," said Giguere about facing Crosby. "They threw a lot of stuff at me tonight and I'm just happy to get the win."
Gabriel Landeskog scored the game's only goal for Colorado, which improved to 8-1-0, including 5-0-0 away from the Mile High City. The Avalanche won just four road games during the shortened 2013 campaign.
Giguere turned away 16 third-period shots, none better than his glove save to rob Chris Kunitz on a breakaway after a Colorado defenseman fell.
Pittsburgh's Marc-Andre Fleury stopped 13 shots and suffered his first loss in eight games this year. The Penguins (7-2-0), who went 0-for-7 on the power play, had their season-opening win streak at home end at five games.
"It was quiet for most of the night and the guys played great," said Fleury. "They didn't get much on us tonight, but that goal was unfortunate."
The Avalanche were forced to defend throughout much of the first period due to four penalties, including three in the opening 9:57. Giguere kept the game scoreless with 11 saves, while the hardly tested Fleury stopped four shots.
Colorado got its first power play opportunity early in the second period, but Landeskog went off for hooking late in the man advantage.
After a fifth successful kill by Giguere and the Avalanche unit, Landeskog made it goals in three straight games, beating Fleury eight seconds after exiting the penalty box. The Colorado captain skated down the right wing and snapped a shot from the faceoff circle past Fleury's glove at the 5:26 mark.
Game Notes

Last week was wild when it came to scholarship offers for a handful of Class of 2014 players, as more schools outside the Midwest are discovering Illinois this winter.
Plainfield South outside linebacker Clifton Garrett received offers last week from UCLA, Texas A&M, Florida State, Missouri and Virginia Tech — pretty much every corner of the country.
Crete-Monee inside linebacker Nyles Morgan picked up offers from USC, Arizona and Texas Tech. What will it take for Morgan to commit to one of the 22 schools that have offered?
- Bio | E-mail | Recent columns
Plainfield South High School, 7800 Caton Farm Road, Plainfield, IL 60586, USA
Crete-Monee High School, 1515 West Exchange Street, Crete, IL 60417, USA
De La Salle Institute, 3434 South Michigan Avenue, Chicago, IL 60616, USA
Bolingbrook High School, 365 Raider Way, Bolingbrook, IL 60440, USA
Marist High School, Chicago, IL 60655, USA
"It'll come down to interest level in them, their interest level in me, my comfort level," Morgan said. "Academics are important, and I want a football team that's on the rise. I'll wait until after my senior season to commit, probably close to signing day."
De La Salle OT Jamarco Jones added offers from Arizona and Arkansas last week, bringing his total to 27.
Westphal, Weishar visit Northwestern: Northwestern played hoste to Bolingbrook DB Parrker Westphal and Marist TE Nic Weishar over the weekend. Both have made multiple visits to Evanston. This time they stayed overnight before attending a practice Saturday.
"I really like how well the coaches interact with the players in practice," Weishar said. "I also like how the players work out in groups and position so they can all get individual attention from the strength coaches. I was able to learn a lot more about the players at Northwestern and I wanted to see where I fit in with them"
Westphal also enjoyed his visit.
"I like what Northwestern has to offer in the long run," Westphal said. "They also have a ton of coaching stability. Coach (Jerry) Brown has been there 21 years, and that alone is impressive."
Minnesota offers Notre Dame's Jones: Minnesota coach Jerry Kill surprised Notre Dame junior RB Chris James with an offer last week.
"I really have had no real contact until they called my head coach (Mike Hennessey) and he told me to call back coach (Jeff Phelps)," James said. "It's great to get that kind of surprise, and I'm excited about the offer."
James also has offers from Georgia Tech, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana and Western Michigan.
Minnesota also offered Mount Carmel junior defensive tackle Steve Richardson last week, joining Northern Illinois on his list.
Speaking of offers: Montini junior defensive end Nile Sykes added offers last week from Iowa State, Cincinnati and Western Michigan. Sykes spent Saturday as a return visitor to Illinois.
"My relationship with the coaches at Illinois is getting better each time I go down there," Sykes said. "I feel more and more comfortable."
Sykes has offers from Cincinnati, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa State, Northern Illinois, Purdue, Toledo and Western Michigan.
Extra point: Neuqua Valley junior WR Mike Dudek on Monday morning added his first Big Ten offer, from Illinois. Dudek was in Champaign for an unofficial visit Saturday.
"I like it a lot at Illinois," Dudek said. "It just feels right when I'm there, and the new receiver coach (Mike Bellamy) made a great first impression on me."

If you have a look at the line up of the Mumbai and Chennai IPL teams playing the IPL final, you will find two reasonably high quality outfits. Neither can match a top Test team for quality, but each is probably as good as a full strength first class side. Mumbai probably has the deeper bowling line up - Fernando, Malinga, Zaheer and Harbhajan Singh, while Chennai's two best bowlers are better than any in the Mumbai line up - Muralitharan and Bollinger. This is reversed in the batting. Chennai undoubtedly have the deeper batting line up, while Mumbai have Tendulkar. Chennai has the edge batting wise, while Mumbai probably has the edge (marginally) bowling wise. This means that Chennai should be favored in a big game. The general consensus however, favors Tendulkar.
As i write this the score is 127/3 in 16 overs in the first innings of the game. Chennai batting first. I was watching Zaheer Khan bowl to M S Dhoni and Suresh Raina, and found myself imagining these two line ups playing a 4 day final. It would have probably been the highest quality game played in India outside of a Test Match (and possibly the odd Irani Trophy match). Instead, what we have is a silly comedy of errors. Suresh Raina is playing an iconic T20 innings - chancy, made possible by fielding errors, with some spectacular connections and other near misses. Should Chennai go on to win, Raina's innings will be described in glowing terms, and the Raina-Dhoni stand (currently worth 68 in 5.3 overs, it's now 3/134 in 16.4) a match winning one. After all, this is a grand final, the "big stage".
The problem with T20 is, that there are so many errors forced by the extremely compressed format, that no amount of strategy can mitigate the effect of these errors. Suppose Chennai open the bowling with Muralitharan. Opening the bowling with a spinner is considered to be unorthodox. Muralitharan gets Tendulkar out in the first over, and Chennai go on to win. Will they have won because of the tactical move, or because Suresh Raina got away with as much slogging (and missing) as he did? If you actually think about it, how different is it for a spinner to bowl with a brand new ball as opposed to a ball which is six overs old (it is fairly common for spinners to bowl in the 7th over of a T20 game)? How much of a tactical innovation is it to open the bowling in a T20 game as opposed to an ODI game? In an ODI game a spinner could bowl begin in the 16th or 20th over of an innings and still comfortably finish his 10 overs. When compared with this approach, getting the spinner to bowl with the new ball is an innovation. As i write this, Chennai have opened the bowling with an off-spinner, who is dutifully bowling flat, fast and straight at the left hander Shikhar Dhawan. Compared to this kind of tactical innovation, what is the effect of all the chances that Suresh Raina took?
Here is a format which makes one type of cricketer look like a millionaire. It makes ordinary batsmen become match winners because swinging successfully six times out of 10 can make a huge difference. Of course, there are those who argue about the "science of slogging" etc etc, but the point is, that an attacking stroke is a risk - made exciting precisely because it is a risk - a bold response. Shikhar Dhawan, by the way just got out to a ridiculous waft outside off-stump at Doug Bollinger. He was making room to play it. Instead of his back leg going back and across, his front leg moved towards the leg side as he opened himself up to playing a forcing shot off the back foot. He had no choice. In the world of T20, it wasn't a bad shot, because in the world of T20, a batsman's worth is measured by how long he can hit the ball. In the world of actual cricket, it was a terrible shot.
Just as a square turner makes honest but ordinary spinners like Virender Sehwag and Michael Clarke look like world beaters, and a green, fresh wicket makes ordinary military medium pace bowlers look like Glenn McGrath, T20 makes ordinary batsmen look like Gary Sobers. The converse is also true. A really good spin bowler like Harbhajan Singh or Mutthiah Muralitharan may occasionally struggle on a truly bad square turning dust bowl, because they may turn the ball too far. You've also seen someone like Shane Bond struggle on a green top because he's too good, too quick, beats the bat too easily. The playing conditions - the wicket and the weather are typically taken to be quite important factors in determining the quality of cricket played. The format is just as much if not more of a factor, because the format frames the risk like little else can.
What I'm watching right now is a classic illustration of this last point. Tendulkar is facing Bollinger. Doug Bollinger is probably one of the best fast bowlers in the world right now (39 Test wickets at 23.15, 33 ODI wickets at 21.87, an Asif like beginning) and Tendulkar has played him superbly - properly. The conditions are not unplayable, so you would expect this. Tendulkar is reading the line and length, getting behind the line of the ball, improvising intelligently (not recklessly) by manipulating the line and length with his footwork, without committing fatally to anything. A high quality contest, with both players playing a top quality game. Yet, in the context of this particular match, 20 overs a side, Tendulkar has nothing to show for his skill. Might he have achieved more if he had thrown caution to the wind and consistently aimed pre-meditated scoops, upper-cuts and slogs at Bollinger? Probably. At least some of these would have gone to the boundary. He would probably have missed a few as well, may be even gotten out to one. The result would have been different from 3 not out in 7 balls faced. Could have been 15 out in 7 balls faced. But it would have been ordinary cricket, with the ball flying unintentionally to various parts of the ground.
It is in the rare moments when the batsmen are not completely on top, are swinging and missing, that the sillyness of T20 cricket is on show, for this is the time when the desperation is really made visible. Cricketers are sly beings. It is only in the unrelenting scrutiny of a Test Match contest that an outside edge for four will bring a wry smile on the face of a batsman - some semblance of humility and sheepishness - a honesty of accounting. In a T20 game, if you watch a chinese cut and then look at the batsman, his face will tell you that he meant it. A bowler in a T20 game will celebrate a wicket achieved through a lucky catch off a screaming square cut with the same enthusiasm as a brilliant stumping off a floater. In a Test Match, not so much. There is such a thing as a bad ball. The value that the Test Match places on the account the player gives of himself, the account that it draws from the player, builds great players. Tendulkar has become Tendulkar because of this scrutiny. Because he had to learn to work out a method to survive a full session against Curtly Ambrose on a lively Sabina Park wicket even though he was unable to read Ambrose. He made 12 runs in that session, but he didn't throw it away, and was honest enough to admit that he didn't have a clue. The contest gave him something - the satisfaction of having survived. The contest made it clear to all viewers what was going on - it revealed something about both Tendulkar and Ambrose.
Where are the opportunities in 20 overs for players to give accounts of themselves as cricketers? Are we interested in these accounts? You could argue that this is a very good question. But i think it's a very bad question, because the answer to me is obvious. Yes we are interested in these accounts, because we are interested in the superstars that emerge as a result of these accounts. We are interested in Tendulkar.
This is what you are missing in this IPL final. Muralitharan, Tendulkar, Dhoni, Bollinger, Zaheer, Malinga, Fernando, Harbhajan, Hayden - all top quality players. Players who are being wasted here. You get Muralitharan, but he's there for only 4 overs. 4 fraught overs where he's desperately hoping that some young punk won't connect a slog sweep. Zaheer Khan, so numbed by the mindless slog that he doesn't even look at a batsman after he's mis-hit him to the square-leg boundary. The batsmen have it better. Tendulkar can at least try to play 20 overs, just like Hayden. For high quality middle-order ODI batsmen, this is probably least alien. But what are they playing against? It matters. The quality of these players is known to us because it mattered in the contests they played in.
The IPL is not a cricketing innovation. It is show business masquerading as sport, run by people who don't understand the difference, or are willingly oblivious to the difference. It has the same shallowness of show business. It is the two-minute sound-byte version of cricket. It is cricket in which Suresh Raina bowls a ball half-way down the pitch to Sachin Tendulkar, get square cut to the backward point boundary, and then has a look on his face which says that Tendulkar is really too good. What's more, the commentators tell you that too - "all class" is the typical account at such times, "you can still play properly here". Really? For a short and wide half-tracker, that an ordinary weekend club cricketer would have square-cut for four nine times out of ten? Nobody points out that it was a bad ball of course. People are surprised that Tendulkar didn't try to club it to mid-wicket!
So far, it's been a typical IPL game. Ordinary cricket made inevitable by the straitjacket of the format, masked by the screaming and fawning of sundry commentators and Navjyot Siddhu. Tendulkar's innings so far has been like a subversive antidote - he has played properly. He has improvised without being suicidal. That is unlikely to be enough. He wants to win, and he will be forced into suicidal stroke play at some point. But everytime he improvises, but can't avoid watching the ball right on to the bat, the great man strikes a blow for decency and seriousness, and Sport. Like just now, on the last ball of the 14th over.
And he's out. Even in the stroke that he got out to, there was that tension - the unwillingness to be stupid coming up against the manufactured fierceness of the required run rate. He had the grace to concede honestly that he had made a misjudgment. He obviously did not purposely give that catch. If you think i meant that, you should probably stop reading. But Tendulkar did not made bad batting mistakes. His head didn't fall back, he tried to get to the pitch of the ball, and he took a knowing risk - to clear the long off fielder - tried to hit with the spin. And no, it was not a "chip" as cricinfo's commentator is telling you. It was a supremely well timed drive. The shortness of the follow-through was because it was played slightly inside out, try and play an inside-out drive and get your follow-through over your shoulder and see what I mean. It was just not lofted enough to clear the man. It happens sometimes. As opposed to Raina, who aimed a large number of cross-batted slogs irrespective of whether the ball was there or not, connected a few, miscued a few others into space. Tendulkar was out because he played a very skillful shot even though the bowler saw him coming and adjusted his line. He timed the ball, he middled it, he was well balanced when he played the ball. But circumstances required that he try something suicidal. It's hard for a high quality player like Tendulkar to get used to the idea of committing batting suicide.
In the cricketing economy of 20 over cricket, it is probably better to take a chance than not. And that for me is a problem. Whichever team wins today, did they really win?

If you are a mountain climber, private pilot or hiker you know how important it is to make sure you are acclimated to your environment. Not being acclimated can lead to altitude sickness or High Altitude Pulmonary Edema These situations can lead to serious injures and even death. Taking accurate measurements of vitals can help to prevent these situations. That is the idea behind the iSpO2 by Masimo.
The iSpO2 is a Pulse oximeter. It measures pulse rate, oxygen saturation and perfusion index. Pulse Rate is the number heartbeats per minute. Oxygen saturation is the measurement of amount of oxygen in the blood, the higher the saturation the more oxygen in the blood. Perfusion index measures the amount of blood flow into extremities such as fingers. This is the first product for the consumer market made by Masimo, which has a long history in the professional market.
The product consists of a cable and sensor. The sensor attaches to your finger and takes the measurements, which are then sent to the app. Right now the app is available on iOs only although they are working on an Android app. The app shows readings and graphs which can be used to monitor trends over time. You can also email the information. The iSpO2 is currently available through Amazon for $249.00

Keeping space rented in their historic two-story building at the corner of Main and Uncompahgre streets has been a challenge for Barb and Stu Krebs, and they were especially discouraged when the carpet company downstairs space closed its doors.
Then Keya Horiuchi, a friend, came up with the idea of creating space for an artists' cooperative, and Barb Krebs was hooked on the idea.
The Creative Corner, just west of the Daily Bread, in the same building, has been open for just a few weeks, but it is already full with the creations of about 30 area artists, Krebs said.
Each artist pays $25 to join the coop, Krebs said, and contributes 20 percent of their gross sales "to keep it running," as well as putting in four hours per week working in the shop.
Krebs said forming a true cooperative through the state involved insurmountable paperwork, so she formed a limited liability company instead.
The space was a mess, Krebs said, but with some work, fresh paint – and light fixtures acquired from the recently closed Miz Kitty's Emporium down the street – the store opened a few weeks ago.
The opening coincided with the seasonal closing of the downtown Farmers' Market, Krebs said, essentially ending the season for sellers of handmade goods and artwork.
The idea of an artists' coop caught on surprisingly well, Krebs said.
"We started with six artists, and said if we can just get 10 we can staff the store," she said.
Creative Corner is also giving farmers an extended selling season by holding an indoor farmers' market in the back of the store on the first and third Saturday of each month.
Creative Corner offers a wide variety of products, including jams, jellies and gift-baskets by Janet Hartman of Hartman Gardens, one of several people who worked behind the scenes to get the store going.
"We have everything from a $1,200 dollhouse to homemade dog biscuits, with lots of cards, photos, knitted stuff, pottery, ceramics, wood carvings, handmade baskets," Krebs said. "It's a great place to Christmas-shop."
That's just what Melissa Turner was doing last week as she strolled around the store holding a handmade pottery bowl that cost $20.
The high-end merchandise, like Howard Roy's intricate dollhouses, is offset by lower-end items, including many original and unusual Christmas ornaments.
The shop's inventory includes framed and matted photos by Dennis Thurber, handwoven baskets by Nancy Strakbein, refurbished trunks by Trunks by Jerry, tole-painted furniture by Linda Guy and clear glass ornaments with real fishing flies inside.
A standup display showcases the work of Kathryn Carson, who creates personalized wrappers for Hershey bars of all sizes. Carson said she first wraps the candy bars in foil and then adds a wrapper with a personalized design or message.
"They can be used as favors at parties, graduations, anniversaries, as place settings, or for any occasion," she said.
Carson said the store has filled a void for local artists, and then some.
"I love the shop. It's so beautiful and everyone is so talented," she said. "I'll bet we could fill another of these."
Hand-crocheted afghans, original jewelry, hand painted ornaments, photos on canvas by Terry Raven and countless handmade items abound. It's too soon to know if the shop will be a success, but Krebs said it's worth a try.
"We're hoping it will keep going, and will see if the artisans feel it's worth their time," she said.
"Nothing was happening, and it's better to have one more thing happening downtown."

Agree Dorothy! When I saw you the other day I had spent 10 mins looking for a rack/lamppost and was going to be late for an appointment so had to take my bike with me on the train. I couldn't use the bike park as I'm not a member (I don't want to pay to park it - kind of defeats the object of having a bike). I've noticed the bike park only gets about 25% full at any time.
On a plus note, I actually saved time at the other end by not having to walk. Decided to cycle back and discovered the Pymmes Brook Trail which was very enjoyable.
Maybe we could design some bike racks for Stroud Green? Here are some good examples...
Wig & pizza shaped?
I've used plant lock in a lot of pub gardens. They're a bit awkward if someone else is already using them and take up a lot of space. They are a good idea though. I just think it would be better if the bit you lock on to came up from rather than out of the side of the planter. Difficult to explain what I mean.
Terrible news. The currently charting Ed Sheeran used to live above there and play at the open-mic most weeks. This recent publicity shot of him may be one of the last pictures of the old sign:
@ADGS I doubt it was listed as I think they only put it up in about 1998 when the place was opened.
I'm hoping to do some work on this tonight. Busy busy at the moment. I have a best man's speech to write too.
I know someone who will design the bike racks, maybe some other stuff too if plied with enough beer and chocolate.
I have approached Hornsey Historical Society about recruiting John Hinshelwood to our prospective first meeting. I'm hoping to persuade him to give an abbreviated version of his history of Stroud Green talk – with slides – focussing on the urban development of the area. Perhaps he'd sell a few books too.
It had occured to me to also invite an advisor from a Hornsey Architectural Mouldings on Tottenham Lane to give some professional advice concerning restoration. We might learn something, and they might be lurred by the prosect of future business.
I've contemplated contacting the Victorian Society, who might be able to advice us on tactics. Obviously we should ask the conservation officers from Haringey and Islington.
Any other candidates for an invite?
OK, here's the proposed mission statement. Everything including the name is up for debate. Anything obviously need amending, removing or adding?
1) The Stroud Green Preservation Society (hereafter SGPS) holds the following to be true:
a) That Stroud Green (hereafter SG) is an attractive north London suburb characterised by varied Victorian architecture.
b) That SG would benefit from an organisation dedicated to the preservation, restoration and beautification of its urban environment.
2) SGPS Policies:
a) That the Haringey and Islington Stroud Green Conservation Areas, and that of Tollington Park, should be better co-ordinated and enforced. They should also be expanded to encompass those Victorian buildings on Stroud Green Road and neighbouring streets not currently covered by those conservation areas.
b) That funding and volunteers should be sought, and landlords and councillors engaged, for the purpose of preserving, repairing and restoring SG's Victorian and Georgian architecture. Projects to include: i) repair and repainting of plaster moldings and other traditional features ii) restoration of traditional shop-front uniformity
c) That SG's streetscape should be improved, for instance by: i) removing unnecessary street clutter, while seeking new sites for cycle racks ii) ensuring that appropriate and attractive streetlamps and other necessary features are selected by councils iii) re-planting suitable London planes in unused tree-pits, and seeking other appropriate sites for planting.
d) That proposals should be developed and implemented for a public square on Stroud Green Road to replace the current utility road (Charter Court) and plantings currently bounded by Stroud Green Road, Osborne Road, Upper Tollington Park Road and the neighbouring post-war building.
e) That low-quality or inappropriate new developments should be resisted in those areas where Victorian buildings are predominant.
f) That current low quality, underdeveloped post-war structures should be advocated as candidates for redevelopment.
Too much? Too little? Pointless ramblings? All of the above? I'm going to bed.
@Mirandola: Point taken. I could remove the last two points altogether if that's the general feeling – perhaps it could be discussed at the meeting. As you know, I am not opposed to new development – very keen on John Jones etc. My personal 'policy' would be:
a) Brownfield sites that are not dominated by architecture of a particular period or style are perfect candidates for modern developments, as long as they are respectful of scale. Sometimes a bold contrast works, a other times developments can benefit from referring to their surroundings with colour and materials. Much of this is subjective of course.
b) Where architecture of a particular style and/or period predominates then new or redevelopments should match that style to maintain uniformity of the streetscape. This is the policy in the centre of Bath, which gets prettier by the year.
Arkady - i think policy points a-d are excellent. Pointed and specific; something concrete to work towards. Although I think agree with what you are saying, I think e & f are a bit vague and could be received by the council (and others) as potentially obstructive to almost any development. This might not help the concept being accepted. But, as you say, these points can be honed during later meetings.
As much as I admire the architectural legacy in SG, I think we've some way to go to get it considered in the same bracket with Bath!
I think this is great stuff; the type of civic initiative possibly all too lacking in London these days.
Cheers. Though perhaps working in concrete is something we should be opposed to! :-)
I agree that we should discuss whether to refine or remove e)-f). I am very much pro-development and have strong views on what sort of development is appropriate in different places, but I'm aware that unless carefully handled they might become divisive points.
Still waiting to hear from HHS. If anybody happens to make it to the talk at SG Library on Saturday perhaps they could raise the prospect then, and take some contact details.
Yes it has, and they've done an excellent job. Even the window frames are different colours!
I also noticed that the scaffolding is going up at the World's End, presumably for the much–delayed fourth floor project.
Sorry to have been a bit quiet about the SGPS project; it's been a crazy couple of weeks. Also I'm yet to hear back from HHS. If necessary I will go down there myself at the weekend.
It occurred to me to approach Paks, whose frontages so dominate lower Stroud Green Road. If they could be persuaded to get on board and paint & repair the plaster mouldings between their buildings it would set a good example that could be used to persuade other businesses. I don't suppose anyone has contacts at Paks, or knows which of their many premises is the right one to go and ask in?
I think someone from Paks posted on here a month or so ago? - something to do with the Finsbury Park Business Forum / Association.
Thanks, now I know to ask for a gentlman called Peter.
Incidentally, Peter was trying to set up a trading association alligned with finfuture. this took me to the Finfuture website, which appears to have been hacked by douchebags: http://www.finfuture.co.uk/about_us.php
I hope this isn't too tangential, but if you are interested in planning, it might be an idea to respond to the national consultation on the new proposed framework. This, if legislated, will remove the prioritization on brownfield/urban development and allow for unrestrained development on any greenfield site that is not either designated Greenbelt or a Site of Specific Scientific Interest; i.e. the majority of greenfield sites in this country. Couched in platitudes on 'sustainable development', the framework essentially ties local councils' hands by enforcing them to give a default go-ahead to all greenfield developments.
It is a totally inappropriate response to both the housing shortage and the current economic climate. It hands over the countryside to the developers and side-lines local communities. It is short-term and environmentally damaging.
You only need to go to coastal resorts in Spain or Greece to see what decentralized, "light-touch" planning laws can deliver.
I have written to Lynne, who has in turn written to Dave on my behalf, and she for one (not sure about Lib Dems in general) is supportive.
But you can make your own mind up and respond here: http://www.communities.gov.uk/publications/planningandbuilding/draftframeworkconsultation

"media empire"? Unions as a "difficultyof life"? S where were the union voices in this story? How will they be affected by any slae of the Globe? Ands since when should ostensibly "public " radio want to build a "media empire". Where are the stories of media mergers and how they threaten our democracy by concentrating too many media outlets into fewer and fewer hands? THis is not the first time, I've questioned Eve Troeh's qualifications for occupying the "Sustainablility Desk".

Austin >Food & Dining > Nutty Brown Cafe
12225 Highway 290 W, Austin, TX | Directions 7873730.208612 -97.972562
Sunday To Wednesday From 11:00 AM To 10:00 PM Thursday To Friday From 11:00 AM To 12:00 AM Saturday From 11:00 AM To 01:00 AM
Excellent Grilled Catfish – Very good value. Large portions and fairly low cost ($10 - $15 range). Also get 2 sides which I went with mashed potatoes and black beans. The creamed corn is also good and homemade not out of a can.
They have huge salads if you're into that. And a large chicken fried steak sandwich. Highly recommended.
Citysearch Editorial Review – The interior is pure Elk's Lodge-meets-'50s retro with cozy booths tucked away from the throng of partygoers outside. Separated from the restaurant, the bar sports video games and provides a welcome retreat for the parched and nicotine deprived. A patio provides ample seating for hungry diners craving fresh air, a stage for Nutty's numerous live shows, and a sandbox. The Tex-Mex menu has Southwestern egg rolls, salmon BLTs and chicken smothered in veggies and cheese.
Not That Great Anymore! – Last night I took two out of town guest to enjoy Nutty Brown, which use to be a very friendly fun place to hear music and have a nice little dinner and a few beers under the trees! What a joke! The girl that was collecting the money for the Eggmen venue was very nice...and the girls at the outdoor bar! We waited for a table, lots of people, no problem waiting...we finally found a table and after sitting there for at least 20 minutes a waiter came by. We asked him to please clean the table, which he sort of mad an attempt. Came back 10 minutes later and asked if we were ready to order. We told him we were not ready...had a drink. Next thing you know a very rude hostess informed us we HAD TO LEAVE! The table was for people eating...what the heck? We had to stand by the bar...even though there were other empty tables! This has never happened to me in all the years I have been going to the Nutty Brown. Too bad....not going again...The owners need to know that the staff is running out customers with their rudeness!
Sad, but it's bad. – The staff has turned amazingly bad. In two visits over the last two weeks, we had very poor service from wait staff who couldn't get an order right, didn't pay attention, and spent more time vanished from the floor than actually serving. The food was tolerable but not the same quality it used to be, and because of the poor service, arrived cold on our second visit. That was enough for me to decide driving farther into town for our next meal.
Cool place – it was an overall good experience and my kids said they actually had pretty good food. My boyfriend and myself enjoyed the food as well LOL
This used to be a decent place. Used to. Not Now! – I have been going to this place since it opened. The food was decent, service was good. Was. With any luck another owner will come in and actually do the deal correctly. The place has HUGE potential but current ownership and management is woefully lacking with the exception of a couple of people that have been there a long time. There is a manager that shaves his head and a waiter with long hair that usually wears a bandanna that are both great guys. The other manager with the dark hair is OK. Went to see Eric Tessmer, band and was great the rest was hideous. Outside bar is closed no tables at stage it did start clear out. Sat in the stone pit area. There was no service there. Inside to get drinks. Bartender was slow and inconsiderate as always. Several tables cleared and I went in to ask the hostess if we could be seated. Asked if I wanted to order food, I said no. We were refused a table and told to go drinks myself. The most sanctimonious waitresses that I have ever had the misfortune to deal with, walked by and I asked why the outdoor bar was closed. Response in arrogance "go ask the hostess" and a disgusted look. I said "I might as well talk to one of those bricks" pointing at the planter. The waitress responded with disgusted grunting something unintelligible and making a face while rolling her eyes and storming away. RUDE! Went back to the bar, which we usually avoid due to the stench of smoke so strong as to be nauseating. Got a couple of drinks and we were standing at the closed bar and the waitress came by, totally snotty, sanctimonious attitude and again rolled her eyes at me. Where's the manager? The manager came to the hostess area and I suggested we go outside to talk. Guy that shaves his head would have been a lot more calming but this guy managed to calm me some. I made my complaint angrily since I was livid about the ruined evening. The other guy probably would do something since I think he may be part owner not this one I was just an inconvenience. Went to see W.C. Clark the other night and it was pretty much the same. W.C. Is great but doesn't have the equipment to play outside without house PA system which doesn't exist for the small stage. Maybe on the big stage but it's never used. As much of an insult to W.C. as putting B.B King in Austin Music hall. You wonder why it is impossible to get major shows here in the "Music Capital of the World"? The food at W.C. was repulsive. Did not eat but the stench from the fried food was nauseating. That and the lack of decent sound prompted us to leave. I couldn't determine what the other stink was until I realized it was the fajitas mixed with what would seem to be stale soiled diapers. Kids usually don't bother me to much and the kids that dance to the band are cute and fun to watch. On the other hand, brats with irresponsible parents are another story. The fact that the management doesn't say a word doesn't help. Kid friendly is one thing. Brats in a situation where adults are trying to enjoy the music and setting s not. Apparently at this point the staff for the most part must be imported from New York or California. RUDE, INATENTIVE, SLOW AND SANCTIMONIOUS AT BEST. This place is not a very good place to go any longer. Maybe intelligence and customer focus will win.
awesome venue, friendly staff – I love this place, good music and good food. It really can't get any better than that! The bartender and waitstaff were awesome. I love going there to see my favorite my favorite band play, Texas Renegade. They play there all the time. Go see em!
best smothered chicken in austin – we went to the nutty brown for the first time this past friday night upon the recomendation of a close frind of ours. everything about our experience was top notch. we were seated outside under a huge oak tree. what a surprise to see a huge cage with a talking parriot! we had a darling server named chrissy who gave us the recomedation to try the smoothered chicken. it was delicious! eveythng was seved hot and promptly, our drinks refilled without asking and no rush to leave even though a wait had started. we will be regulars from now on .
Great food, reasonably priced, nice outdoor seating – We were on our way to a lavendar farm to pick lavendar and had always wanted to try the Nutty Brown Cafe. We stopped and were so pleasantly surprised! We sat outside, and the shade from the large trees kept us cool in the TX June heat. The service was attentive, and the food was yummy! Great experience. This was on a weekend during the day and there was no wait. Good experience, we recommend.

|Head Golf Coach
Pete Gyscek is in his third year as the head coach of the men's and women's golf programs at Washington and Lee.
As the coach of the men's program, he has helped his golfers achieve all-conference honors four times, including mentoring first-year Teddy Corcoran to first team laurels this past season. He also coached Mark Sowinski to All-America Scholar honors, just the third player in school history to receive that award.
Gyscek started the women's program from the ground up, beginning with a developmental varsity season in the spring of 2012. This past year, he helped two golfers earn all-conference accolades while continuing to add depth to the program.
Gyscek came to W&L following six seasons as the assistant men's and women's golf coach at the College of William & Mary. In this role, he was responsible for assisting the director of golf with the management and administration of both programs, including assuming the role of head coach for one of the programs when they played simultaneously.
The Tribe's men's and women's programs combined to tie or break 50 school records during his tenure, including having both a man and woman set school records for season and career scoring average at the school. The men's team finished as the Colonial Athletic Association runner-up in 2010 and the women's team ranked among the NCAA Top 100 in each of the past two seasons, a first for the program.
In addition to his coaching experience at William & Mary, Gyscek owned and operated the Dynamic Golf Studio in Williamsburg, Va., from 2001-2008. There he maintained a PGA Retail Teaching Center that specialized in game improvement, lessons and video analysis for regional college and amateur players. Gyscek has also worked at Pro Golf Discount in Newport News, Va. (1998-2001) and was an assistant golf professional at the Royal New Kent Golf Club (1997-98) and at the Harbourtowne Resort and Conference Center (1996-97).
Gysek is a Class "A" member of the PGA of America and he has competed as a professional on several mini-tours and in the Mid-Atlantic PGA. He is also a member of the National Golf Coaches Association, and is a Certified Golf Instructor, as well as being a Master Clubfitter and Equipment Specialist.
A 1985 graduate of Niagara University with a bachelor of science in business management, Gyscek was a four-year letterwinner and three-year captain for the Purple Eagles' golf team.
