Be The Transformer: Chip In To Save The Planet
Protecting and healing the planet is very important to me. I believe in climate change and I believe that we can reverse it. Lately, I haven't felt like I've been doing enough activism to spread the word and inspire others to be eco-conscious. Perhaps that's because it feels a little overwhelming and honestly even a bit more challenging than it used to feel. Sure, being vegan is one of the most Earth-friendly lifestyle choices, but there's so much more we can do as individuals to make a difference. Can you relate to this at all? Is it just me, or does climate change feel confusing with all the conflicting information about what we should and shouldn't do?
One of the biggest issues is CO2 (carbon dioxide):
Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is necessary for plants and trees to grow. Forests play a specific and important role in the global carbon cycle by absorbing carbon dioxide during photosynthesis, storing carbon above and below the ground, and producing oxygen as a by-product of photosynthesis (US Department of Agriculture Forest Service)
Through the many industries, especially transportation, we're producing very high levels of emissions that have thrown off the balance in the atmosphere. Now our forests are close to CO2 neutral and trees are working overtime to remove CO2 from the air. Oxygen gets released back into the atmosphere and gives us clean air to breathe, while carbon gets stored in the trunk. That's part of the reason going vegan makes a difference - this lifestyle and diet can reduce about 20 lbs of CO2 in the air every day (source: Cowspiracy). There are more solutions, and one of the latest and greatest is this new device called the OBRIST C-Transformer.
The OBRIST C-Transformer is a machine that helps trees to pull CO2 from the air by taking char off their trucks and making the soil around them more fertile. Here's how the company explains it, "before a tree dies and releases its carbon, which has been stored in its wood during its life span back into the atmosphere, the OBRIST C-Transformer will turn its trunk into biochar and introduce it into the forest's ground. In this manner, the carbon improves soil fertility and the release of carbon back into our atmosphere is prevented." Through this process, the trees can do their jobs more effectively and new vegetation can grow in the extra fertile ground. This can revitalize the forests, make them healthier and biodiverse with mixed species, and reduce CO2 from the atmosphere. All this can be done with minimal human interference and allow the forests to become self-sustaining.
It's a little nerdy, but this is exciting stuff for me (and the planet).
So now we know the problem and a long-term solution. You're probably wondering what you can do next. And that's exactly why I'm writing this post.
In order for the OBRIST C-Transformer to be implemented in forests, they need your support. They recently launched a campaign on Indiegogo in order to fund the next steps of their company. Up until now, they've been focused on gathering the scientific proof and developing the concept of the machine. Next, they need to get it into production (their goal is to complete this by 2025) and they expect this to cost upwards of a billion dollars. That's why they're crowdfunding - they could use some financial support while raising global awareness about the machine. You can help with a donation as small as $1 or $5, the latter of which includes a perk of planting a tree on your behalf.
We can help the planet do it's job faster and reverse the damage done by humankind to our atmosphere with the OBRIST C-Transformer. As they put it, "worldwide solutions need worldwide actions." Please visit and share their Indiegogo campaign to help them take the next steps alongside Mother Nature: indiegogo.com/projects/obrist-c-transformer-nature

Disclosure: I partnered with OBRIST C-Transformer to write this. My thoughts and opinions are my own, and I drew data from the company's website and Indiegogo page. I'm passionate about the environment and I felt this was an important project to share with you. They compensated me financially to help spread the word, and I hope you enjoyed learning about them!
Giveaway: Natural Calm Watermelon Flavor
I've been using the Natural Calm magnesium supplement for several years. It's really helpful for relaxing during bedtime and helping me sleep. It also aids digestion and muscular stress (such as jaw clenching). I've tried several flavors of Natural Calm and my favorite by far is their seasonal Watermelon flavor. It tastes like the bubblegum I used to chew as a kid, or Jolly Ranchers (remember those?!) Natural Vitality sent me samples of my favorite flavor and I didn't want you to miss out, so I'm doing a giveaway!
I Tried Farm Fresh To You and Here's What I Thought
Did you know that you can get organic, local produce delivered right to your doorstep? It's true! This is a convenient way to experience seasonal fruits and vegetables without going to the natural grocery store or growing them yourself. And bonus: you can support local farmers without having to go to the farmers market. You save time, effort and sometimes even money.
Homeopathic Remedies for Dogs + Other Companions
Taking care of Evie, my companion dog, is a huge priority in my life. She's about 7 years old now and I do everything I can to make sure that she's as happy and healthy as possible every day. Overall, her health is fantastic. She's thriving on the plant-based diet and has had very few health issues in her life. However, she's getting up there in age and every once in a while a few challenges pop up. Evie has some skin sensitivities and digestive distress off an on, and I worry about the long-term effects of giving her flea medications. That's why I was thrilled to try out a homeopathic detox from HomeoAnimal.

Great news: my friend Tess Masters recently launched two amazing tools to solve this dilemma. Get re-inspired with The Blender Girl Smoothies book and mobile app, which provide 100 innovative and lip-smacking recipes to take your blending beverages to the next level.
Viewer of the Month: Vince Lia
Vince is a rising star. Mark my words, he will become a vegan household name. I met Vince when he signed up for the Pick My Brain sessions and I was blown away by his enthusiasm and commitment to spreading the healthy vegan message. He has a fantastic website and has a budding YouTube career. Most importantly, he is one of the friendliest and most passionate vegans I have ever met. I'm so excited to introduce you to him today and learn more about his history along with you.
Hey everyone, my name is Vince Lia and first let me say that is an honor to be chosen as an Eco-Vegan Gal Viewer of the Month. I am the man behind the website Healthy Vegan Guy, which is centered around plant based recipes and provides information to educate and inspire others about the benefits of living a healthy vegan lifestyle.
Of course, my life wasn't always like this. Growing up in an Italian family, I was constantly surrounded by cheese, meats and desserts that I ate daily. That was until the day I first heard the words "ulcerative colitis" (UC) that changed my life forever. It was November of 2005 and I started experiencing abdominal pain that I just disregarded as something small that would pass, but it didn't go away. The breaking point came when the pain became so unbearable, I felt like I was going to pass out that I left work and drove myself directly to the doctor's office and then to the Emergency Room. After being discharged, they still did not know what was wrong with me. My first GI doctor had me trying various medications with no luck. It was not until I asked for a colonoscopy that my diagnosis was finally confirmed, but now what?
I was told don't eat vegetables, don't eat this, don't eat that, that you become almost scared to eat anything. My condition and symptoms proceeded to get worse, my medications became stronger, and the effects that this condition can have on you physically is just as bad as the mental toll it takes. I couldn't leave the house without knowing exactly where I was going and the number of bathrooms I could stop at along the way. My life revolved around going to the bathroom and I gradually stopped participating in any physical activities because of this fear, such as playing basketball, running, hiking, etc. My body wasn't absorbing any nutrients and I proceeded to loose about 40-50 pounds. It was at this point that I knew I had to do something.
I started a few diets, some of which did improve my condition slightly, but it wasn't until I migrated to toward a plant based and vegan diet that I noticed substantial improvement. I started by having a fresh juice every morning from a local juice bar. I remember having this and waiting to see how my body was going to react, since I hadn't eaten any raw vegetables in years, and surprisingly, I made it through without any issues. In fact, I felt better. I then gradually introduced salad and vegetables back into my diet, and let me tell you, a salad never tasted so good after not having it for years!!
I gradually eliminated meat from my diet, then all other animal products until I became fully vegan, and that's when the fun started. I started spending more time in the kitchen cooking some delicious vegan meals. I was making food that tasted so good, I didn't even miss the food I once had as a child. Why miss that food when I could create something that tastes just as good, or maybe even better, in my unbiased opinion....haha. I was exposed to world that was not only about food, but an overall lifestyle that I naturally gravitated towards and quickly embraced. I wanted to share this information with others, which I why I decided to create the website. Although I do still take some medication, I have been able to reduce it and hope to become medication free soon. When looking back, you can say that having UC has been a blessing. I may have never embarked on this journey and met such an amazing group of people that share in this passion and live their life with a purpose.
Vince's favorite Eco-Vegan Gal video: "It is hard to pick a favorite Eco-Vegan Gal video, since there are so many to choose from, but a recent one stands out in my mind. It was a video Whitney did with Colleen Patrick-Goudreau and Michelle Cehn to discuss the response to Beyoncé's Vegan Meal Plan. It struck me because we all begin our vegan journeys for different reasons. Most of us consumed animal products at one time in our lives and we should support any progress and embrace it as a positive change, since we never know where someone is on their path. Progress over perfection....right Whitney?"
Right Vince, you know it! :-)

Oscar Pistorius in Jail: A Day in the Life of a Disgraced Champion
From mansions and supercars to a solitary cell measuring 2 meters by 3 meters in a dreaded prison, Oscar Pistorius' life has become a somber tale of tragic proportions. He now lives on porridge, coffee and slices of buttered bread.
From an upscale Pretoria mansion to a single cell in the notorious Kgosi Mampuru prison facility, Oscar Pistorius' life has tragically crumbled since the morning of February 14, 2013. In 21 months since killing girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, the high-flying athlete - once hailed for his inspirational determination on the track - finds himself serving a five-year term in jail.
Pistorius' tale is one of mammoth contrasts. From having both legs amputated when he was an 11-month baby, Pistorius worked his way up to become the toast of the world. While he won multiple gold medals in international Paralympic Games, Pistorius made headlines as the first amputee runner ever to compete in the Olympics - the 2012 London Games.
If his professional career was a fairytale, life off the track was glorious as well. He had three mansions in South Africa with a combined value of 8.3 million Rand (£474,000). Pistorius also had all the money to pursue his passions with -- he splurged on a McLaren as a Christmas gift to himself in 2012.
Barely two months later, life switched lanes from the highway to heaven and sped onto the freeway to hell. He shot his model girlfriend on the morning of 2013 Valentine's Day and while Pistorius claims he thought she was an intruder, was convicted on charges of manslaughter. ( I don't believe Oscar Pistorius, says Reeva's mother)
From racing on the track and partying in clubs, Pistorius' life has shrunk to a two meter by three meter cell - which has a grill and a steel door - which opens to a tiny courtyard. Gone are the mansions - his villa in Pretoria where he shot his girlfriend was sold to an undisclosed buyer in May. Gone are the cars and most importantly, gone are the admirers.
Instead, he has Czech inmate Radovan Krejcir - convicted for kidnapping and torture - as his neighbour and two nurses - assigned to monitor the wing at all times - for company. He is even believed to have shared his birthday cake with them and Krejcir - one of very few privileges given to him alongwith his white T-shirt, tracksuits and two pairs of orange prison uniforms. He is also allowed some money from visiting family members with which he can buy food from the prison shop.
Pistorius' typical day in prison starts at 5.30 am when he washes and cleans up his cell. He then has breakfast of porridge with coffee or juice at 7am, lunch of some meat and vegetables at 12pm and supper of buttered bread at 4pm. And while depression has a severe after-taste through his waking hours, Pistorius is reading the Gideon Bible - keeping to himself at all times apart from when he has to share a shower with a fellow inmate.
The slight glimmer of hope in the form of an appeal for home detention curfew may be turned down. (Hyperlink) Prison sources though say that Pistorius is calm after the initial meltdown when he was heard sobbing himself to sleep. His mood now is said to be one of relief as he can apparently apply for parole after 10 months. No parole though can permanently heal the trauma and the stigma.
If his rise to fame was meteoric, Pistorius' fall from grace has been every bit as ghastly. At an age where men strive to make their careers, his touched monumental highs and withered away to demonic lows. And with South African prosecutors looking to appeal against the manslaughter conviction and the five-year sentencing on December 9, the Blade Runner faces further cuts to his already ripped and ravaged life.

I need to implement some database tables to track an invitation system.
New customers on this website can register only when a friend invites him. There are two ways of new customers register, with the Email of an existing customer(friend) or with the Card Number of the existing customer(friend).
Here is an image representing this:

"Having recently being an inpatient on Ward 32, I..."
About: Doncaster Royal Infirmary Doncaster Royal Infirmary Doncaster DN2 5LT
Posted via NHS Choices
Having recently being an inpatient on Ward 32, I feel that I must make a public comment on how wonderful and caring the staff are on this ward. Everybody works extremely hard and having been awake day and night, I can say that all staff never get a minute ! It is exceptionally clean, infact everything is cleaned daily including the curtain rails and light fittings. It is hard to mention particular people but I have to make a point of mentioning one of the staff nurses, her caring and compassionate attitude goes above and beyond her duties and I was extremely grateful of this during a period of distress. Whether it is service staff, HCA's, nurses or the Ward sister- everybody are amazing !! Thank you for everything you do, you are first class !

A great site starts with an idea.
An idea you can make happen with KVS.
The KVS tube script was exactly what our team has been looking for. The script has unlimited possibilities which can satisfy even the tech people which are really hard to please. Besides that, the script is perfectly stable.
We have more than 500K unique visitors on one of our tube sites and we never had any problems. There are a lot of features, but the script is easy to use and the developers offer fast and efficient support (install and migration).
I had my doubts at first. I spent quite a bit of time considering the purchase and I was really skeptical towards KVS. It looked overly complicated and hard to understand. Then, I spent some time studying the demo of the admin panel and read the detailed manual. Done, I wanted KVS.
I purchased it and never regretted doing so. A fantastic sctipt, no less. I have never seen anything better, ever. You feel professionalism in everything, the script is written by really experienced high end...
Now we are nearing the completion of the beta version of our site's front end. The site is powered by KVS.
Right now, the main stage is moving the user account data and uploaded videos from the old engine into the new site, plus reworking the video adding algorithm and creating a template for online broadcast, plus, adapting our system scripts to the way our new site will be working. I consider this stage to be completed successfully. At this stage, we did our best to learn things where...
This script is very easy to use. The best thing for video based sites in my opinion. Never regretted choosing it. The support team are great, they respond fast and are super easy to understand.
I have gone through tons of scripts and all of them seemed to have their pros and cons. Clipshare and KVS were my favorites. IMHO one should just ignore the rest.
I chose KVS, what do I say now? Pretty happy with it. I like how my site is built of these modules which you can combine in any way you want. You just need to know a bit of HTML. Fits my special needs perfectly. I really needed social features and of course a user-friendly admin area is always great.
I switched to KVS, I also use other sites and can compare different scripts. This stuff rules.
The admin area has all the features I needed, even more. Two languages there as well, with detailed instructions about anything you may want to know.
Nothing to complain about in terms of how it works, really well thought through and handy.
I have been using KVS as a tube site backend since April. The first week was introductory, then I customized the script the way I wanted.
It's very much a set of tools, when you know what you want, you'll build it. The support team turned out to be very nice, thanks a lot, guys. If you are just starting and can afford the license, let me tell you this, buy KVS and you'll never regret it. I have spent 3 months working with this software and there's nothing negative I can say. They will...
I have been in the web development business for a while and I know the features of all major CMS scripts.
So I'm really demanding when it comes to a tube site's backend. This script meets all the modern demands and is suitable for any site. This includes microtubes and install and forget sites and for major sites as well. Though you will need to invest in customization in the latter case.
The script lets you do all of it. Also, it's extremely flexible and lets you mold it into...
KVS was perfect for our site. If only we had known about it before. It would have saved us tons of $$$ and nerves! KVS is a great buy.
Originally our site was running on another script but it just couldn't handle the load. We decided to build the site from scratch which meant spending thousands of dollars and a few months. Not exactly something you're happy about.
When we purchased KVS and gave it some test runs, it rocked our world. It's cheaper, faster, more stable. Kudos to the...
Several years working with this script, previously tried many different solutions, but not one of them can not even half of all that can boast of KVS. I want to share my recent experience: my last site was launched as a side project in the basic version of the engine, but the site has grown very rapidly in terms of attendance and at the moment it has more than one million page views daily. Due to the two-level caching and multiserver this site is powered by one powerful server and multiple...

Leo Pig
The reputation of the Pig's bouncy, generous and playful nature is based on ancient astrologers depictions of the animal symbols in Chinese Astrology ideology. If a person is born in the Year of the Pig under the Western star sign of Leo they are thought to receive personalities that reflect the Pig's friendly and enthusiastic nature. As Leo's are sometimes likely to be a little moody and pessimistic, the influence of the more positive Pig in their personalities helps. It creates people who have vivaciousness, complete with lots of energy and a real enthusiasm for life in general.
Leo Pig Traits
The Leo Pig individual is also often said to be blessed with much good luck courtesy of the Chinese astrological trait descriptions. So these Leo's are sometimes the luckiest of people in terms of finances and favorable circumstances and opportunities in life. Although the Leo Pig is often aware of their lucky streak they do not tend to use it to advance themselves. These personalities are not particularly ambitious, they are also not greedy where money is concerned. They can however be inclined to be a bit lazy. The Leo pig has a great enthusiasm for life but they hate getting out of bed in a morning, often needing some reminder and encouragement. An excellently loud alarm clock often does the trick.
These Leo's have oodles of spirit and vigor so once they are up for the day they enjoy working hard along with others. The Leo Pig does not like solitude and is a lot happier when among family and friends. They tend to love their homes and make them comfortable and welcoming to visitors. Of all Leo's these Leo Pig's usually search for their partners early in life seeking the security and warmth of family settings. They make excellent providers and mates and generally take their responsibilities seriously. It is rare for these individuals to feel depressed and low but they possess understanding and compassion for those that do.
Sometimes the Leo Pig will be a little careless with money as they do not really place enormous importance on it. These personalities usually regard financial wealth to be much less important than anyone's emotional health and happiness. This may account for their lack of ambition and willingness to be happy to settle for the simple things in life. These people have a passion for reading and will always be grateful for books of all kinds as gifts. They also have a creative side to their personality and enjoy making things for people.
A Leo Pig personality is not without it's faults and laziness and lack of communication emotionally are their main ones. They do not appear to have an issue showing feelings but talking about them is another matter. Being idle is usually something the Leo Pig will probably always be prone to but their communicative skills can be worked on. These weaknesses are tiny and not frequently troublesome in general. A good partner who is an effective communicator would compliment this personality and help them be more talkative about emotions.
Leo Pig Compatibility (Love & Friendship)
Leo Pigs are typically well-liked and will help friends in need without a second thought. In fact, one of their favorite things is inspiring others either through their generosity, wisdom, or their actions. They are among the most loyal friends a person could have, and believe strongly in helping friends and family members in need. Members of this sign need to be careful, though, not to let their public persona overcome who they really are inside. Should this happen, they can easily destroy everything they have built, especially their relationships.
People fall in love easily with this sign. Leo Pigs attract others to them with great ease, and combined with how much others admire them, the most challenging part of their love life can be choosing one of their many admirers as a long-term mate. Again, maintaining their honest selves and personal integrity is key to the success of these relationships. Leo Pigs who fall too in love with themselves make it difficult for others to feel the same way. The very best qualities of this sign are their gentle and giving nature. With those gone, the core of their being goes with it. For a sign that has success come easily, the biggest challenge can be staying true to themselves over the long run.
Leo Pig Business (Career & Goals)
Leo Pigs do best pursuing their personal passions. Their rare ability to move toward a goal despite the obstacles only works when they are going after a goal that they genuinely care about. They can follow their dreams, no matter what they are, without fear of failure mainly because they choose not to pay attention to failure. They would rather be true to their instincts than play life safe.
Their easy likability makes them naturally successful as actors, musicians, comedians, and other types of performers. Not all Leo Pigs love the spotlight, though, and for those a leadership role where they can control their destiny is preferential to playing second-fiddle to someone else's vision. Leo Pigs make great business leaders, particularly in the retail or hospitality industries.

Heraldry was initially a byproduct of feudalism and chivalry, as its primary function was to enable knights to be recognized on the field.
The coat of arms became of particular importance when the closed helmet came into use, preventing the face of the knight from being seen. In fact, Duke William of Normandy nearly missed his goal of conquering the Saxons at the Battle of Hastings when his men couldn't identify him in the midst of the battle, and word went out that the Duke was dead. Pulling off his helmet to dispel the rumor, Duke William shouted at his soldiers to return to battle. Seeing that their leader still lived, the knights renewed the fight and won England from King Harold Godwinson.
Ganfanons (lance flags decorated with personal emblems and held by standard bearers) were the chief means of heraldry before the twelfth century, especially during the crusades. These flags allowed knights to identify the leader of their military operation, and gave them a rallying point. By the late twelfth century, the ganfanon was replaced by the banner.
Early heraldic designs were very simple, usually made up of straight lines, one or two colors, and painted on banners and shields. In the thirteenth century, the emblems were stitched onto surcoats, giving birth to the term 'coat of arms'. Animals were introduced as 'charges', soon after. The most frequently displayed were lions, eagles and griffins, either singly or as a pair.
In the beginning, two metals (gold and silver), five colors (red, black blue, green and purple) and two furs (vair and ermine) were used in designs. Later, gems, precious stones and new colors were used as decoration. The colors were referred to in French and were given symbolic characteristics. Gold (or), not surprisingly, was the noblest of all colors. Silver (argent) represented purity and justice. Red (gules) represented aggressiveness; green (vert) represented happiness, pleasure and youth. Blue (azure) symbolized justice and purity; purple (purpure) symbolized royal majesty, sovereignty and justice; black (sable) represented misfortune and difficulty.

Sysadmin Trick: Custom Bash Prompt and Shortened Path Display
As a sysadmin I spend a lot of time logged into other servers via SSH session. Often I have to log into systems I am not familiar with, and it is very easy to forget which one of the seven terminals that you are working in is actually logged into a remote machine.
I am certain I am not the only one that have accidentally shutdown a server while logged into it. Newby mistake, and never repeated due to this trick I learned.
Changing the Colors on Bash Prompt
NOTE: BEFORE DOING THIS MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR .bashrc FILE. *ahem* You have been warned. Continue.
In your home directory you have a .bashrc file. On some distros (Ubuntu) your custom prompt is white, and to change that to a colored prompt you have to edit this file to enable your usual green prompt. You achieve this by opening your .bashrc file in your favorite text editor and looking for the following line:
Delete the # in that line (this is called "uncommenting" a line), and save it. If you open an new terminal you should have your username@host displayed in green.
The next step is changing your hostname to a different color.
First off choose your color, a list of the codes for different colors can be found HERE AT THE ARCH LINUX WIKI.
Once done, you edit the following line:
PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[00m\]\$ '
All the parts in the square brackets [like these] are references to font and color for you prompt. [01;32m] is green, but since we are working with bash script, there is a backslash (like this one ==> \ ) in front of the closing square bracket. Remember that because you can break your bashrc file.
Choose your color from the archlinux wiki page, and then change the above line to look like the one below, in my case I went for purple, and I made the @ blue:
PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[01;32m\]\u\[\033[01;34m\]@\[\033[1;35m\]\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[00m\]\$ '
Now if the change I made above is not readily apparent to you, here it is again in non copy friendly html:
PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[01;32m\]\u\[\033[01;34m\]@\[\033[1;35m\]\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[00m\]\$ '
This makes it easy for me to see when I am working on a local terminal (all the colors in my prompt!!!), and keeps me from accidentally doing something on a remote machine that I should have been doing on a local one.
Shortening the Path Display in your Bash Terminal
In Ubuntu you get to have the WHOLE directory tree displayed in your terminal. This often causes your terminal to wrap around, and can be a pain when you want to run a few piped commands.
There are a few fixes for this, but the one I am using right now I borrowed from ephemient that he posted as an answer to THIS STACKOVERFLOW QUESTION.
First off, I dumped the below code at the end of my .bashrc file:
local PRE= NAME="$1" LENGTH="$2";
[[ "$NAME" != "${NAME#$HOME/}" || -z "${NAME#$HOME}" ]] &&
echo "$PRE$NAME"
Then I put the snippet of code the calls that variable in my PS1 string like so:
PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[01;32m\]\u\[\033[01;34m\]@\[\033[1;35m\]\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;34m\]$(_PS1 "$PWD" 10)\[\033[00m\]\$ '
And again to point out the change:
PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[01;32m\]\u\[\033[01;34m\]@\[\033[1;35m\]\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;34m\]$(_PS1 "$PWD" 10)\[\033[00m\]\$ '
I basically replace \w\ with $(_PS1 "$PWD" 10) to allow the shortened directory to still be nicely color prompted.
You can keep $(_PS1 "$PWD" 10) at the bottom of your .bashrc, but that will break your fancy color prompting.
You can also change the 10 to any number that you prefer. This will allow you to show 10, 20 any other chosen amount of characters in your current path.
So, this should not be too hard. If you are lazy you can replace the relevant lines in your .bashrc entirely with my lines in the copy friendly code boxes, or you can play around and build your own.
Have fun, and don't break anything. (Especially if you have to drive out to site to fix it.)

Newborn & baby health centre
Baby development: Your 11 month old
Most babies can stand on their own by 11 months old and are getting ready to cruise, taking their first unsteady steps as they hold on to something - usually the furniture. The number of words they understand is increasing all the time and you may even notice that your baby is following simple instructions. By now, your baby should be relying on a diet of mostly solid foods, and some mothers may be considering how to stop breastfeeding.
Should my baby be cruising?
Babies continue to get active day by day, and they can usually stand without support by around 11 months old as well as stoop and squat. Now that your baby is getting to be an expert at standing, cruising is usually the next step. This is when a baby takes steps to move along while holding on to furniture that is sturdy enough to support their weight, such as a sofa or coffee table.
As your baby gets better at standing without wobbling and becomes more confident, she'll soon let go and stand without any support. At this stage, she may stoop down or squat to pick up a toy, and if you hold your baby's hands, she might take a few steps. Moving some furniture close together, a few steps away, may even encourage your baby to take her first unsupported steps. Remember that babies develop at different rates, so while some babies start to cruise at 11 months old, a few will do so at an earlier age and others in another month or so.
Meanwhile, expect your baby to get into anything and everything. You may find she becomes a wiggly escape artist as you try to strap her into her high chair or pushchair or when changing her nappy. On the positive side, some babies will try to help out by holding out an arm or leg while being dressed.
How can I encourage my baby to talk?
Babies learn the meaning of words through repetition, so the best way to encourage your baby to say her first words and build up her vocabulary is to keep up your 'conversations' with her, describing your everyday activities as you do them. "Where is the green teddy?", "Mummy's chopping a carrot", "I have two socks" and "Here is a big cup" are simple phrases with only a few words, but they help your baby learn about objects, action, location, size, numbers and colours. Repetition is key and eventually your child will pick up the meanings of these words as they become embedded in her mind.
Many babies enjoy having story time with books filled with colourful illustrations. You can encourage your child to look at books by choosing ones with flaps and different textures. Your baby may have particular favourites that she'll enjoy sitting with again and again. Point at and describe the pictures, talking about the colours, objects, shapes and sizes. Local libraries may have story times for babies and toddlers, and some communities have mobile libraries for borrowing books.

Federal Court Orders PHH Response to CFPB's Motion for Rehearing En Banc
In the latest development in a case that sent shockwaves through the financial services industry this past October when a three-judge panel of the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals determined the structure of the CFPB was unconstitutional, the D.C. Circuit Court entered an order directing PHH Corporation to file a response to the CFPB's petition for rehearing en banc (before the entire bench) in the case. The order from the D.C. Circuit was filed on Nov. 23 and required PHH to file a response within 15 days.

I got "That One"! (um, taken)
Barack Obama playing pickup ball
on Election Night.
You may have seen the video of Barack Obama playing pickup on Election Night (via Ball Don't Lie), but here are some more tidbits I thought were interesting...
- Obama's left-handed behind-the-back dribble and ensuing fastbreak assist suggest that he is a southpaw, indeed. A quick Google search on "Obama left-handed" easily confirms this. Now, if he was right-handed and pulled off that move, I would have to say that would have been quite tremendous.
- The facility where Obama played, Attack Athletics in Chicago, is a mecca for pro hoops training (well worth the read).
- Someone more important than Michael Jordan (more "important" as measured by security detail) actually showed up to the same facility that Jordan once frequented.
- If you were thinking of making a million bucks producing "That One" jerseys, nice try. If you search on the USPTO.gov trademark site, you'll see that "That One" has already been trademarked as of 10/12/2008 by some guy in New Orleans, a mere five days after John McCain uttered those now famous/infamous words -- the first-used-in-commerce is claimed to be that same night of Tue Oct 7, 2008, so this guy who trademarked it jumped on it quick-style.

My mother, sister and I drove to Viney Grove/Prairie Grove, Arkansas this week to pay our final respects to Great Aunt Clorine, the wife of my father's uncle.
She confided in me years later that she regretted giving me that machine, because she never did learn to like her new one!
Aunt Clorine was a sweet, pretty lady. She and Uncle Gene were married 67 years. Bless his heart, he is going to miss her so much.
We'll miss you, Aunt Clorine. Rest well.
P.S. Last year I wrote a short post about attending the funeral of my cousin's husband. I mentioned that he was a well known boys basketball coach. I saw their joint headstone this week, while attending Aunt Clorine's funeral. I didn't mention earlier that my cousin is also a well known girls basketball coach. This headstone perfectly reflects their love of the game and it made us all smile.
Yes, death is serious and sad, but the remembering doesn't have to be!

What a sweet headstone for them.ReplyDelete
My goodness... I see the name Kretschmar and it makes me wonder if Aunt Clorine was related to a gal I went to college with. Kristi Kretschmar was a sorority sister of mine at OU back in the early 90's.ReplyDelete
If so, what a small world!
On another note entirely, I love your blog!
Rita: I've not heard of Kristi Kretschmar in our extended family. I will ask around, though.ReplyDelete
P.S. I love your blog also! :-)

I'll be the first to admit I haven't tried all the various spots around St. Louis for great and near authentic Mexican food. With that said, I'm going to put down a positive comment for a favorite of mine near our neighborhood of Webster Groves, and that is for Nacho Mama's on Manchester Road.
I had dinner again last night at Nacho Mama's and it might have been the best I've had over the years. I ordered the Tex Mex Platter, which comes with several items. The beans are tasty, the chicken well grilled on the enchilada and the cabbage on the taco?? is so more near authentic Mexican. As usual the margaritas are always tasty and served in a nice tall glass, either frozen or on the rocks (my preference).
While the much more well known Hacienda is just down the street, I tired years ago from their overcooked sides of rice and beans which surrounded an always-average entree. What keeps me away from Hacienda these days is the fact that when enjoying a margarita on the outside patio, they insist on serving it in a plastic glass. I'm old enough not to drop my drink thank you.
My wife prefers the enchilada plate with a spinach and chicken enchilada. My neighbor prefers the half of a chicken which is grilled and very tasty.
So give Nacho Mama's a try.
Chuey's is closed in Dogtown right? But it moved elswhere?

The titles lure aspirational parents eager to do what's best for their infants: Baby Einstein, Baby Galileo, Baby Shakespeare and even Brainy Baby with its original motto, "a little genius in the making."
But do these enormously popular and profitable videos and DVDs devised for viewers too young even to sit up provide educational enrichment, as supporters contend? Or are they a skillful marketing scheme for products that may impede cognitive development, as critics say?
Those questions have been reignited by a highly publicized study by veteran child development researchers at the University of Washington.
The Seattle team surveyed more than 1,000 families in February 2006 and found that infants between 8 and 16 months who regularly watched Baby Einstein and Brainy Baby videos knew substantially fewer words - six to eight out of 90 - than infants who did not watch them, according to parental reports. The deficit, which increased with each hour of video viewing, was not seen among babies who watched other programming, such as "Sesame Street" or "SpongeBob SquarePants" or adult shows such as "Oprah."
The study, published in the Journal of Pediatrics, is the first to examine the impact of videos that have been heavily promoted as educational, according to lead author Frederick J. Zimmerman, a University of Washington associate professor of public health and pediatrics. Zimmerman called the negative effect "large and significant" but said the study did not establish a causal connection.
"Parents should not panic," Zimmerman said. Fifteen minutes of video viewing, he said, is unlikely to matter. But some babies in their study watched as much as four hours per day - a circumstance facilitated by the automatic replay feature on Baby Einstein DVDs.
In Zimmerman's view, parents have been "misled" about the benefits of baby videos, which can displace real-world parent-child interaction and creative play, both known to be essential for cognitive development.
Other experts agree. No empirical study, they say, has demonstrated benefits for any video or television programming in children younger than 2.

Waggoner, Ben. Compression for Great Digital Video: Power Tips, Techniques, and Common Sense. DV Expert Series. San Francisco: CMP Books, 2002.
This list of titles is turning into a hall of fame really. Like Matthew Peterson and QuickTime, it isn't that what Ben Waggoner doesn't know about compression isn't worth knowing, it simply doesn't exist. If you really do want to understand what's involved in more detail than you'll ever want (unless you're an engineer) about compression this is where you go. It is the sort of standard text that everyone who works in video and audio online should read simply to develop the literacy in what compression is. Why? I guess in the same way that if you drive racing cars you aren't the mechanic, but to get the best out of your car you have to be able to talk mechanically to your mechanics. Same deal here.

Peterson, Matthew. Interactive Quicktime: Authoring Wired Media. San Francisco: Morgan Kaufman Publishing, 2004.
What Matthew Peterson doesn't know about scripting QuickTime isn't worth knowing. Not only this but this is one of the best written 'technical' books I've ever had the pleasure of using. The CD contains all of the examples described through the book, and includes demo versions of the necessary software to make everything that is included. What is particularly impressive are the questions that end each chapter. These aren't to test what's been read but raise new questions and problems in an engaging, engaged and informing way. This is part of Apple's QuickTime Developer Series, and with their QuickTime for the Web title these form the two fundamental books for those wanting to work interactive QuickTime.
QuickTime for the Web
n.a. Quicktime for the Web: For Windows and Macintosh. Third Edition ed. San Francisco: Morgan Kaufmann Publishers, 2004.
This is the bible for QuickTime, a part of the Apple QuickTime Developer Series and pretty much lays out all that QuickTime does. This is the book that, if you're serious in wanting to work with QuickTime, you'd read cover to cover.
this is not vogging
I've commented on these discussions before, but this is one I'd missed (it is from 2002), Tom Tomorrow (gottaluvit) notes that the last thing we need are more talking heads aka video blogging. Yep. Videoblogging should be and will be about blogging with video. Blogs are not talking heads. They're people writing rich, informed and engaged things. There are thousands of blogs that don't do this, which is hardly a criticism of the genre (read a bad book lately, lousy news article, how much TV do you really enjoy?) but is an observation about what happens when communication is distributed. That's fine too.
But videoblogging will be about the things that blogs are about, so the vogs will be rich, informed, engaged, intelligent, have something to say or do, and will push and redefine what video is. In the same way that blogs make visible what lots of us hypertext people have been advocating and saying all along. The network makes a difference. Authorship and readership approach towards a zero degree.
And yes, it is harder to do in video than in trad. blogging, but the technology is already there we just don't yet have the tools to let us do it because no one can think of a reason to do it. That's just lack of vision and sloth.
blog events
While trying to tidy out my old email (those things I promised to reply to but didn't) I came across this gem from Jane Love, from June 2002:
The Event is the blog. Its vectors flows and passages. Or just read Michael Joyce's essay in Ilana Snyder's recent anthology :-)
when is a vog a vog?
Ah, this is rapidly becoming a bit of a chestnut isn't it? Having a relook at www.vidblogs.com today things are moving apace. What with moblogging courtesy of G3 spectrum, and the example of blogging, more and more people are moving towards video blogs. This is, of course, hardly surprising, but like many of the blogs out there they don't amount to a lot. Harsh, yeah, I know. I'm all for empowering people, but plonking video onto a blog front end is not yet the revolution. It is plonking video on a webpage. Why?
- good blogs are well crafted writing
- good blogs are written by good writers or by people with good things to write about and say
- blogs isn't just writing plonked into a blog
- blogs have an architecture, technical protocols that are the result of social mores (and social constraints that are the result of technical protocols)
- blog writing is crafted writing
Vogging is the same. A vog ought to be:
- well crafted video
- video that is well cut/lit/composed/narrated or about something worth viewing
- vogs are just video plonked into a blog
- vogs have an architecture (derived from blogs but also specific to video online)
- vogs are crafted video
places like vidblog.com confuses publication with making. Any good blogger knows that words don't come cheap. Neither should video.
Social Software
Stumbleupon is a site that David told me about. It seems to be a URL bookmark aggregator and repository, you use it to '
Internet Art
Thames and Hudson have published a small book on internet art, this page is the list of all the artworks in the book. A useful resource.
A friend of mine has just launched his ecommerce site, krappy.com. Bad taste knows no bounds.
Bad day down on the farm. Beautiful sunny crisp day, time to read, write, prepare for next week. But, um, my installation of mysql (which of course is crucial to everyone's blogs) is appearing grumpy. It is still running, and apparently doing what it ought to do, but the root account in mysql seems to be, well deaf. I've eventually found how to reset the root password for mysql (here and here are the best two explanations) which I've done, but I simply cannot log in to mysql using phpMyAdmin even though the config file ought to let me. Spent 4 hours today on this. One of those moments when I realise I'm an academic, not a sys admin.
Creative Computing adopted
The program I teach within here at RMIT has just formally adopted the manifesto for creative computing as a pedagogical docume
Snow From the Train
Another vog, another one of the European holiday series (and yes, I am trying to get them out a week at a time and yes, I do want to finish them!). This is called Danish Snow and is material I shot out of the train window as Anna and I travelled from Copenhagen to Amsterdam. In the south of Denmark we travelled through a wonderful snow storm, all the fields carpeted, rabbits hopping away from the train across the snow, trees with their white umbrellas. I love the snow, I think it is mysteriously magical the way a landscape is transfigured, silenced, and relit by snow. The novelty and beauty is something I never tire of (though I live in a country where snow is a long drive away so I guess if I lived somewhere where snow was a regular event my views may be different).
This vog is like the previous Brussels Park vog (explanation here) where I have two child movies loading next to each other and mousing into one controls the playback speed of the other. As in the previous vog the effect is to speed up playback. Clicking in one videopane restores the original speed of the other, and also lets you toggle through a series of textual annotations. One of the things I'm interested in with the textual annotations is perhaps using this to provide a specific date stamp for the work. There is still the usual date and time stamp within the blog post itself, but another timestamp that appears within the work. I did toy with making this a text track and clickable so it operated as a permalink, but wasn't happy with the outcome, though this is something I expect I'll be returning to shortly.
Increasingly I'm realising that my work is very much about time, duration, the quotidian and the effect come affect of duration in indexical media. The specific indexicality that I'm interested in is time based, so it is important in vogging, at least in my vogging, that work records worlds that are verisimilitudionous (is that a word or have I just spelt it wrong), a condition that I think is actually key to blogging (he adds). So my vogs seem to be less concerned with complex interactivity, or even that mutlimedia broadband media rich experience, than time poems.
Hence this work is about movement, place, memory, the exotic, and embedded variable durations.

Ever since the JD install, i have not been able to get Wifi to work... I get a message that says "unable to scan for networks" when I turn on the Wifi. Uninstalled the JD and that doesn't make a difference. Still get the message and no Wifi. What am I missing? Did JD turn something off that needs turned back on? Thanks in advance.

Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Threats to Ahri with this build
|Twisted Fate
|Not much of a threat. Even a bronze Ahri can win against a Gold Cassiopedia.
Well its Ahri, and you guys like her sooooo much. Probably because of her cuteness or her boobs, maybe. But for me its just because of her Damage output. Why don't we check her out.
Well, about the runes, some might say it's a troll rune, but... its pretty good, though. With the AP runes you get a burst of 18 AP at the start of the game, without any items. That AP compensates for her damage because of her primary items. And with cooldown reduction, you can basically spam skills at your enemies, whoever they are.
And for masteries, as you can see with mine, you can see further cooldown reduction to harass your enemies, combined with AP to increase your damage potential. And since Ahri escapes with low health, usually, you need a faster recall to increase your survivability.
And extra mana regen would give you the mana you need to continue your skills.
Items? Well, any item would do as long as it's for AP, but you really need the Unholy Grail for extra mana. Also its passive increasis your mana for every kill and assist, so that you can chase other champions even if you harassed your skills to kill just one.
And Deathfire Grasp? You'll need it. Charm gives you an extra 20% damage potential. Deathfire Grasp's active gives you another 20% damage potential. So calculating it, 20% by Charm and another 20% of that, it gives you an extra 44% Damage to your skills.
Rabadon's Deathcap raises your AP, so it's a must for every AP champions, and the rest, you can alter it as many as you like.
Skill Sequence
At first, poke your enemies with your Q, while charging up your Passive with your W. This deals damage to your enemies while keeping you healthy.(can't guarantee your cs though...)
When they have a very few health remaining, go in with your Ultimate then land Charm. Afterwards, use the Deathfire Grasp(if you have one) and then use Fox-Fire and Orb of Deception. But make sure to leave your last Ultimate dash in order to escape after chasing down, except if you really need to use it to kill whoever is running away.
While running away, follow the same concept, except that you must not use your Deathfire Grasp(as it has a short range), and while dashing at the opposite direction to escape.
You can leave out your last dash in case the opponents who are chasing you becomes too weak that you can finish them off.
While assisting when you have low health, just landing Charm can be very helpful. If they dash at you, your Ultimate or your Zhonya's Hourglass can keep you alive long enough so that your allies will get the kill.
Nothing to say about this one. Ahri's Q can decimate an entire Lane minion with little effort. At early levels, focus on getting the upper hand with your lane. At mid-game, roam around to get minion kills and champion kills and assists for extra gold.
Forgot to say about spells. Ahri don't need Ignite, because she can chase them down anyway. Neither is teleport required, because her secondary is an assassin; meaning, she only gets last hits.
Barrier can be usefull, but it just delays her death at most cases; it doesn't prevent her from dying. Clarity and Heal is useless. She has Unholy Grail for mana regen, and her Passive for her healing.
Flash is very important, as it serves as a 4th dash of her Ultimate. Flash can be used to escape, or to chase enemies down. Ghost, on the other hand, is just for running, People say that her Ultimate is good enough for escaping, but what about Champions who are very fast(Ex. Master Yi, Sivir), or has a movement-type ability(Ex.Kassadin, Tristana), or if her Ultimate is on cooldown? That's when Ghost comes in. JUST RUN AWAY.

Number of species: 155
Area covered: Cumberland, Cape May & Atlantic Counties
Team: Nick, Steve, Lisa Ann, Rob
We kicked off the big day at Turkey Point. It was a little cool and breeze but there was no man made lights or sounds to compete with the thousands of stars that filled the cloudless sky. What an amazing sight! Soon after midnight we heard a Clapper Rail followed by Virginia Rails. Our 3rd bird of the day was a Yellow-billed Cuckoo but we had not much luck picking up any migrating Thrushes. The Black Rail we had during scouting was also a no show so after a while we moved to our second spot where we had a number of Chuck-will's-widows and a Screech Owl.
We were getting some birds but not as many as we have liked. Our next stop was Jakes Landing and there we had Greater Yellowlegs, Willet, Eastern Whip-poor-will, Marsh Wren and Seaside Sparrow. Bellplain was next where we got to see/hear 46 species between 4:30am and 7:00am. Some of the highlights were Green Heron, Eastern Wood-Pewee, Acadian Flycatcher, Eastern Phoebe, White-breasted Nuthatch, Veery, Brown Thrasher, Worm-eating Warble, Louisiana Waterthrush, Blue-winged Warbler, Prothonotary Warbler, Hooded Warbler, Summer Tanager, Scarlet Tanager and Orchard Oriole. We missed Kentucky Warbler among other things, but hearing and seeing a Veery was a welcome surprise.
Lehrner Road was next and Horned Larks were there to be had but no American Pipits this time around… It was almost 8am when we arrived at Stipson Island Rd. We saw the pair of Northern Harriers that may be nesting nearby, as well as Black-crowned Night-Heron, Bald Eagle and Great Blue Heron but we missed out on White-faced Ibis and Willow Flycatcher. We picked up the pair of Ring-necked Pheasant that has been frequenting the road to East Point Lighthouse and we headed to Heislerville next. Yellow-crowned Night-Herons gave us a scare but they finally showed up as we were getting ready to leave. Ruddy Ducks were there but one one member of the team saw the Hooded Merganser as it driffted in a cove. Both Yellowleggs were present and we were also able to get a Chat on our way out.
We reached Beaver Swamp WMA in Cape May county at 10:15am. Blue Grosbeak was a good addition but no Gull-billed Terns or White-faced Ibis. Miami Ave was next where we picked up Purple Martin, Ruddy Turnstone, Sanderling but no special gulls. Villas WMA was next. We were a little disoriented as we did not park at the main entrance and we ended up wasting a lot of time tryingto figure out where to go for Red-headed Woodpeckers. We ended up missing them and spent 45 min at the Villas which was way over what we had in mind. We ended up seeing a Canada Warbler which gave us great looks so it was not a total loss.
We were still in good spirits although we knew we missed a few species and we should have managed our time a little better. Cooper's Hawk and Rose breasted Grosbeak were great additions at Higbees along with the more reliable White-eyed Vireo. The Beanary had some great birds as well – Baltimore Oriole, Hairy Woodpecker, Prothonotary Warbler, Red-shouldered and Broad-winged Hawks to name a few. Meadows produced an American Coot, Gadwall. American Oystercatcher as well as Piping Plover and Least Tern. Sea watching at St. Peter's dune produced a Black Tern and very a very distant flock of Black Scoter. Along the way, we found one of the two remaining Eurasian Collared-Doves (a third fell to a Cooper's hawk a few weeks back). State Park produced a nice Tricolored Heron, Northern Rough-winged Swallows and a Rock Dove after some effort… Cove Pool had both Green-winged and Blue-winged Teal. We left Cape Island at 4:00pm – we had plenty left to do and we thought we were doing well on time.
Stone Harbor was next and it produced Peregrine Falcon and Red Knot but no Wimbrel. The Little Blue Heron was easy to find at the Wetlands Institute but not much else was there. We now had to decide what to do about Red-headed Woodpecker. We had heard that there was a pair at the Lizard Trail Swamp but none of us were familiar with the reserve. In the end we decided to go for it and we got to the Swamp right after we checked of Cattle Egret at the nursing home. Lizard Trail turned into an adventure as the trails were poorly marked and we ended upi walking aimlessly for 45min before we found our way back to our car. Interestingly enough, we found the Red-headed Woodpeckers withing a couple hundred feet from where we park! I think we were a lot more excited that we found our way back that to get the target bird!!
After our adventure at Lizard Tail Swamp, we were relieved to arrive at Brig at 6:50pm. That gave us about an hour-and-a-half worth of sunlight which was tight. We started off by hitting the restrooms and exploring the woods nearby. Almost instantly, a Great-horned Owl called and as we looked at each other with a big smile it repeated its call 3-4 times. We headed towards Gull pond where the bugs were out of control. We quickly picked up on the 2 Solitary Sandpipers that were feeding nearby. The tower was crowded (the Atlantic Audubon team was doing a big sit there) so we quickly looked around but could not locate the American Bittern that was reported there in the past couple of days. Caspian Terns were also absent. We then walked on the short dike (had special permission to do so) and as we were swatting bugs we saw a couple of Savannah Sparrows drop in front of us for a few seconds. We looked all around but no Bittern (a couple of weeks later I was informed by the AAS team that we walked right next to the Bittern but it did not move and we did not see it!!).
Time to start driving through the loop and our next addition to our count was a lone Whimbrel feeding in one of the more reliable spots for them . As we continued on the loop we started looking for Gull-billed Terns but all we saw were Forster's. The lingering Snow Goose crossed the road right in front of us so we did not have to get out the car for it!! We made one last stop to scan for Gull-billed Terns and we were lucky enough to pick one out of a lineup of 7-8 resting/roosting birds. We were all hoping and anticipating for what happened next: as we drove by Jen's trail we picked up on a bird flying by fairly quickly and 3 of us were able to get our bins on it for a few seconds to confirm that we just saw a Common Nighthawk. We were checking off some good birds but we only had another 5-10 minutes worth of daylight. We stopped at the experimental Pool Overlook and we heard a call of a Yellow breasted Chat but more importantly we saw a female Hooded Merganser in the middle of the pool. A quick walk on the dike did not yield the elusive Bittern. We drove through the wooded area listening intently for the call of a Barred Owl but we never got it (the AAS team did not hear one either).
So what next? We were sitting on 155 birds and the plan called for a visit to Tuckahoe (Black Rail, Least Bittern) and Tyler Road (King Rail and Sora) but Steve came up with a better idea. Let's call it a night and have a quick dinner before we head home. We stopped at a fast food place and filled out the forms that Rob and Lisa would drop off at the finish line. We felt we had a good run and got most of the target birds although we were a little disappointed that we did not get a higher count. The big miss of the year had to be a Northern Flicker!!

Etobicoke General Hospital, Masterplan and Schematic Design
Toronto, Ontario
Client: William Osler Health System
Size: New - 217,000 sq.ft. (20,000 sq.m.); Addition - 440,000 sq.ft. (41,000 sq.m)
Zeidler Partnership was selected to provide Stage 1 masterplanning for Phase One of redevelopment of the William Osler Health System's Etobicoke General Hospital (EGH) site. Services provided include those outlined by the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care (MOHLTC): Stage 1 and 2, Facility Condition Assessment, Environmental Assessment, Enabling Works Stage 3.1, 3.2, 4 and 5 and Post Construction.
Phase One of the redevelopment will see the construction of a new four-storey wing that will provide new and expanded facilities to accommodate the growing emergency department, critical care unit (CCU) and intensive care unit (ICU) at the Etobicoke General Hospital. In addition to an expanded and renovated ER, ICU and CCU, the new wing — which could potentially be open as early as 2015/16 — will also provide new facilities for maternity and newborn care, enhanced day surgery capacity, a fracture clinic, new inpatient dialysis services, and increased ambulatory clinics.

A "public room" connects the existing hospital to the new wing and creates a new lobby, entrance and public face for EGH.
