Echoing the structures of Buckminster Fuller's Geodesic Domes, Danish Architect Kári Thomsen and Engineer Ole Vanggaard have created Easy Domes, a series of quick assembly, low-energy homes! Following the success of the first Easy Dome home built in 1992 for the Greenland Society on The Faroe Islands, a number of dome-shaped cottages were erected as tourist getaways. Since then, the buildings have been put into production and delivery of these fabulous prefab buildings was initiated early this summer!
The unique shape of the Easy Dome, called an icosahedron, is designed to optimize the amount of interior space inside each home. Made up of several hexagonal pieced together, the dome hosts a wealth of interior nooks and crannies, making it stand out from other prefab home designs.
The dome offers individuals the opportunity to build their own high quality homes, coming with pre-built wooden sections, ready to assemble on either a concrete or timber plinth. Once on site, the dome houses take only one day to raise and seal, and for domes less than 500 square feet, no crane is needed to complete construction. The load construction is extremely strong and built for extreme weather, including wind speeds of 200 mph with one meter of wet snow on the roof.
The completed two-floor homes come with living room, kitchen, bathroom and two bedrooms and are constructed using only sustainable and recycled materials. The exterior is covered with non-toxic impregnated pinewood, and the roof is covered with grass. The construction is ventilated on the exterior and insulated with wood-wool or flax, with fiber gypsum to cover all installations and cables. The floor is made up of a plate of reinforced concrete with pressure-resistant insulation and vitrified gravel underneath. Laying on top of the concrete are insulation and floorboards. Furthermore, each home is installed with solar panels and a brick stove, both of which are thermostat-controlled and connected to a water tank. Other renewable energy systems are also available
With a minimum use of materials, the domes are sustainable, energy efficient, spacious and cost-efficient. There is also the potential to erect two or three domes together.

I like the idea of a dome because of the earthquake safely but wish there were someway to make one with a green roof so I could enjoy my view of the ocean without overpowering a neighborhood with homes under 2,000 sq. ft.

Although these homes are efficient are the truly green? I haven't read a very good explanation of the building process, and I think SIP's would be a major bonus. The photos that I viewed on the official website didn't present a minimal footprint approach. Aside from these concerns it appears to be great aesthetically. I would like to see a metal roof option also.

I think these structures are brilliant. Every few years I put in much web research into geodesic domes and I've always come to the same conclusion – simple idea but if you get your math wrong (and sometimes when it get it right) you get wet. I am happy to see someone get a mass produced dome right – and with a sod roof – bonus. I am excited to see an architect put their mind to the task of building an inexpensive – low energy – green home with so many possibilities. To me this is the Holy Grail of architecture – its like the VW Beetle of home design. With the modular concept of these domes you could build a home as big as you would could ever wish for but for me it offers the idea of doing more with less or making smaller spaces work more efficiently
I would love to see Kari work with Andy Thomson of Mini Homes and Rapid rooms to build an interior for these structures. Andy can make a 250 sq.ft. home space feel and work like 500 sq.ft. with ideas like his book shelf stair case , raised cabinets and fold away work spaces.Great work Kari

For heating purposes all available technique can be used. For the cottages a small wood-burning stove quickly heats up the entire room (kitchen and living room) when no solar energy is present. Of course depending on where on the globe – climate zone – you are situated, the energy technique will be suited to this. Solar regions will use solar panels for both hot water, room heating in nighttime, as photovoltaic panels or thin film membranes for electricity. Bio fuel (methanol or ethanol) from waste and third generation organic material, or hydrogen produced from renewables like wind, solar etc. can be used in different techniques either by direct use in an combustion engine (too much noise and low efficiency) or by injection in a fuel cell stack.
Heat pumps are useable – hopefully with needed electricity provided from renewable sources.
Traditional techniques as gas or oil burners can be used – but, as we are aware of climate impacts from burning off fossil fuel, we and our future generations will have to look in other directions for sustainable and renewable energy supply.
Hope this can support Drop. -

Easy Domes Ltd will like to make a short comment to TankFox concerning the "wooden box sitting out in the rain" – and leaks followed by expensive repairs. Our first dome is more than 25 years old and still no raindrop has come through roof, windows, walls or technical installations/pipes. None of our domes has yet had the need of any repair from rain. The reason is mainly because the outside wall is double – first the inner load construction where all edges are sealed with rubber – next because the outside membrane – here first class vertical mounted profiled pinewood is laid with aluminum list under / and over each section – the pentagon, the hexagon and quadrangle.
The handmade windows in each pentagon – not standing vertical – have a special drainage system leading rainwater to pass smoothly.
Compared to many domes based on the triangle system, our solution is a plate structure with ventilated space between the in- and outside cover. This both makes a good inside climate without the risk of condensation on the inside of the outer cover/membrane as prevents possible raindrops going through e.g. the roof – covered with an outside waterproof asphalt membrane next an plastic membrane beneath the grass turf .
So, we can secure all interested home builders that our dome constructions and technical solutions are proven and 100% waterproof. -

These homes look awesome. I would love to see the inside of one.
TankFox September 13, 2008 at 2:56 pm
I love the way they look, but in the end they're a wooden box sitting out in the rain. When it starts to leak the repairs tend to be expensive.

If you'd like to explore the future of sustainable/affordable prefab utilizing a new bamboo based arch system then please visit: http://bambitat.com/ Our "Perma Yurt" is merely a logical beginning. We're creating a new "organic steel" building material using banded bamboo strips. If banded swamp reed tea houses can stand for 3-5000 years then the possibilities are virtually endless with bamboo. We seek support to launch this project so that we can promote sustainable development all over this planet while empowering people and combating global warming. Prepare to be bamboozled, but in a good way.
Guillermo September 12, 2008 at 12:57 pm
I love the idea and efficiency of these. I just can't see myself living in one, though, because the extremely modern, non-natural look of them would just stress me out! I realize that's a silly excuse, but I bet there's a way to make these look almost like a cottage if you decorate the exterior right. That would be really nice.
At the same time, I wonder why more people don't look into living in underground homes (especially in hot areas). They're energy efficient, relatively earthquake- and natural disaster proof, and I would think that they wouldn't be too difficult to build…

The decision whether or not to study abroad can be a difficult one to make. Leaving friends is difficult, and transferring credits can be confusing. On the other hand, the cultural experience and the independence you'll have is life-changing. But once you've decided that you have your heart set on traveling to a foreign country, there are still many decisions to be made.
Pick a length Exchange programs for high school students offer the opportunity to study for a few weeks, a semester or a year abroad. There are summer study abroad programs, exchange programs, and a few with a primary focus, such as language immersion or art appreciation. In college, your options include short periods—a trip during winter break, for example, or a summer study abroad program. Earning college credit from these programs depends on your school and the type of program in which you enroll. Once you get to college, talk to your adviser about credits and recommended programs—before you enroll. The most common college programs involve studying for a semester or year in another country. Some programs are satellite programs of your home university, while others are courses offered through foreign universities.
Pick a program The most common study-abroad option is to enroll in a program through your college. Some schools send students and professors abroad for the semester, creating a group atmosphere with people from your home university. Other schools might be part of a larger program, where you'll be with students from other schools while abroad. You might even be able to take classes through local universities. Or you could go abroad through another university's program. The differences between your school's programs and another school's could be the countries visited, the number of students you'll know right away, the difficulty of the program and the application process. Before signing up with another college, make sure that credits from other universities will transfer to your school. Another option is to study abroad with a private company. If your school doesn't have a program in the country you want to study in, requires a particular GPA, or is only offered for a full year, etc., then a private company might be the answer, says Matt Ulmer, a public relations writer at Educational Directories Unlimited, the company behind BlogAbroad.com. "If a student is going to use a private company, he or she needs to be very involved with the school's adviser to make sure he or she can get credit for that semester," says Ulmer.
If you're up for deep immersion into a different culture and language, you could also apply directly to a foreign university. If you plan to finish school in the States, then you are responsible for credit transfer, organizing your application, and maintaining a relationship between your college abroad and your home school. Studying abroad is often thought to be the most rewarding, culturally enriching, life-changing experience you can have at college. When is there another time in your life when you get a trial period living in another country? You are a resident of a new culture, experiencing things like a native, but you still get to go home at the end of your term. The only problem? Getting there! The application process for studying abroad can be as formidable as the college application process. Here are a few tips to help you get through. Research your options You can go abroad for a semester, a year or for a summer study abroad program. You can go through a study program with your own school, another accredited university or a private program. You can take classes in your own language or in another language. You can travel. You can live in one spot. The possibilities are endless. See what your school recommends. Make an appointment with an adviser to talk over your options, and make sure that your choices are acceptable at your college. Gather more info Many schools require students to attend meetings that cover general study abroad info. Some even require meeting with an adviser to discuss the options. Make sure you attend these meetings. Even if they're not required, they often give helpful advice on going abroad and on the application process at your school. Pick a program Make sure that the program you pick fits your needs and your lifestyle. Also check out the classes before applying. Do they offer classes in your major? Are there enough choices to suit your needs? Make sure there is a support system in place before applying, and if possible, ask someone who's already been abroad—preferably through the program you're thinking of! Also check on the housing situation and the way the meals are set up. There are plenty of options—make sure you don't get stuck with one you don't like. Check the requirements Does your program require a certain proficiency of language? When do you need to arrive? Make sure that your academic load is acceptable to the program, and check that the schedule fits into your semesters at school. Apply Many applications require teacher recommendations, a short essay and a transcript. Don't wait until the last minute to apply. Parts of the application take more time, and many programs are first come, first served. Get a student visa Don't forget to apply for your student visa early—it takes time to process. Make sure you have all the necessary documents such as your passport, visa, birth certificate, transcripts and other important paperwork just in case. Check on your health or travel insurance and your transportation options should you run into problems while abroad. For more information on student visas, go to: http://travel.state.gov/visa/temp/types/types_1268.html. Pack Once you're accepted and all your paperwork is in order, all the hard work is done! Be reasonable about what you pack–check the climate of the region, and leave space to bring things home! Make sure you keep your valuables safe while traveling, and have fun!
So, you wanna go? • The easiest way to study abroad is to talk to an adviser at your school. With their experience, they will be able to help you decide where to go, what to study and how to apply. • Your adviser will be able to tell you which programs you can study without a tuition hike or transfer credit concerns. • Once you've decided which program is right for you, apply early and get excited! There is no one right program, just as there is no one right location. Once you're prepared, you can just enjoy your time abroad.

Hello, I'm new here and that's why I'm not sure if this is the correct place to ask my question. Please be kind
My problem is, that I'm trying to start Apache ActiveMQ (5.2.0) as an embedded broker in my Springsource DM Server (1.0.2) instance. The broker starts correctly except for JMX connector that keeps shouting:
JMX connector org.apache.activemq.broker.jmx.ManagementContext.u nknown W Failed to start jmx connector: Cannot bind to URL [rmi://localhost:1099/jmxrmi]: javax.naming.CommunicationException [Root exception is java.rmi.UnmarshalException: Error unmarshaling return; nested exception is:
java.io.WriteAbortedException: writing aborted; java.io.NotSerializableException: com.springsource.server.osgi.framework.equinox.Ser verBundleClassLoader]
I run broker from bean:
<bean id="jmsFactory" class="org.apache.activemq.ActiveMQConnectionFacto ry">
<property name="brokerURL" value="vm://ulmsBroker"/>
..and there is simply no place for me to do something wrong about JMX. I've tried to deploy it also in totally clean DM server (with needed bundles com.springsource.javax.jms-1.1.0.jar, com.springsource.javax.management.j2ee-1.0.1.jar and com.springsource.org.apache.activemq-5.2.0.jar added into the repository/bundles/usr directory of course) and the result was the same. Is this some sort of bug, or do I do somtehing wrong?
If you need some additional information from me, I'll provide them with pleasure.

Columbia Business School was established in 1916 by the trustees of Columbia University with a generous supporting gift from Emerson McMillin, founder of E. McMillin & Company, a New York bank. The School, which was founded to provide business training and professional preparation for undergraduate and graduate students, launched with 11 full-time faculty members and an inaugural class of 61 students, including eight women. In 1919, the School established an endowment with a generous gift from A. Barton Hepburn, then president of Chase Manhattan Bank, and from there expanded rapidly, enrolling 420 students by 1920 and, in 1924, adding a PhD program to the existing BS and MS degree programs.
In 1945, Columbia Business School authorized the awarding of the master of business administration degree (MBA). Shortly thereafter, the School adopted the Hermes emblem as its symbol, chosen because of the Greek god's association with business, commerce, and communication.
The School admitted its final class of undergraduates in 1952, choosing to dedicate itself exclusively to graduate-level business education. Twelve years later, the School moved to its current home in Uris Hall, tucked behind Low Library on the north side of Columbia's historic campus in Morningside Heights. In 1999, the School expanded its facilities to include the newly constructed Warren Hall.
Throughout its history, Columbia Business School has charted a course of continual growth and development of new business practices through its unwavering commitment to research, ongoing curricular innovations, and a steadily expanding global reach. The School is accredited by the International Association for Management Education (also known as AACSB) and is widely acknowledged as being among the world's top business schools.
In addition to its renowned MBA, Executive MBA, and PhD programs, Columbia offers successful business managers and company executives the opportunity to enhance their careers and expand their knowledge through its portfolio of nondegree Executive Education programs.
On July 1, 2004, Glenn Hubbard became Columbia Business School's ninth dean. Hubbard, the former chair of President George W. Bush's Council of Economic Advisers, has worked at the intersection of the private, government, and nonprofit sectors and has been actively engaged in national and international economic policy issues. As dean, Hubbard is leading Columbia Business School to continued excellence with pioneering initiatives across all disciplines that intensely focus on entrepreneurial thinking and execution in a global environment.

About Murdoch's 'Sorry'
Written by Noemi Pollack on July 19, 2011.
There is something to be said about the choice of words, or put differently, the art of wordsmithing.
The full page 'sorry' ads taken out in the major British newspapers by Rupert Murdoch over the weekend, certainly seem inconsequential in light of the calamitous series of consequences that resulted from the illegal practice of phone hacking employed, approved and accepted as normal policy by Murdoch's top level journalists and editors. For goodness sake, laws were broken and private and public lives were exposed, hurt or damaged, political favors were encouraged,sought and won — all in the pursuit of scooped news.
Sorry? Just doesn't do it.
The resignations are piling up by the hour and just Sunday it included, of all people, the head of Scotland Yard. The unfolding story of intrigue and back room deals has embroiled politicians, police and, in essence, brought into question the very ethics of the UK media industry. Trust in journalism has been chipped, or tainted…
And you get a 'sorry'? It just won't do.
'Sorry' described as apologetic in the Thesaurus, is too flippant a word in this case. You say sorry when you bump into someone in the mall or when you spill something during a meal or if you forget the wine for a hostess. Nobody cares right now if Murdoch is sorry. It's too late for that, for the incredulous story has spiraled out of control. It is akin to the example of running a red light while driving and inadvertently killing someone. What does one say to the family, 'sorry'?
A 'sorry' won't rehire the 600 employees who lost their jobs on the spot with the closing of the 168-year old tabloid. A 'sorry' won't hide the collusion of politicians and police who silently acquiesced or participated with the phone hacking scheming. A 'sorry' won't save those senior executives and editors who stumbled and mumbled in the immediate aftermath something about "not knowing anything" or "not having anything to do with such policies," — those same ones that were arrested over the last few days and carted away,
In Murdoch's own words in the ad, an apology is not enough. So what is?
Immediate indignation might have served him better. Murdoch would have done well to invoke President Truman's favorite line, "The buck stops here" instead of offering a 'sorry.' He could have said, instead, that he takes full responsibility for whatever policies were set by his executives, for whatever practices were implemented under those policies, for the little oversight that allowed and perpetuated the illegal behaviors, for the damages that these caused and that he will personally 'promise' (a better word than 'sorry') that the ethics of journalism will be reset at all his publications with strict checks and balances in place.
A 'sorry' is too meaningless to save his Empire. Maybe nothing will. Time will tell.

The word carbon footprint gets used a lot, but do you know what a carbon footprint is? Find out what carbon footprint means, how to measure your carbon footprint and more importantly how to reduce it.
Why we do it
The Energy Saving Trust Foundation has one clear goal – to help people save energy, every day. To achieve this aim it's vital that we offer an impartial perspective based on empirical evidence: one that's respected by individuals, government and commercial organisations alike.
Our status as an independent, charitable foundation allows us to protect consumer interests while raising standards in sustainability and energy efficiency. The energy we use every day, at home and when travelling, mostly comes from burning fossil fuels such as coal, oil and gas. This produces carbon dioxide, one of the most significant greenhouse gases that cause climate change.
Climate change
During the last 40 years, the average temperature of the earth has increased significantly. We know from global temperature records that the Earth has warmed by about 0.75°C in the last century, which might not sound dramatic, but if temperatures continue to rise at this rate the impacts on our environment could be devastating.
Find out more about global temperature records at the Met Office website.
One of the effects of climate change is more frequent and severe extreme weather events. As rainfall comes down in deluges, rivers are bursting their banks more often, with flashfloods becoming more common. Since rain records began in 1766, the amount of winter rainfall in England and Wales has risen slightly. Over the last 45 years there is evidence that there have been more extreme rainfall events. In 2009 UK flooding was the worst for 270 years, with areas like Cumbria witnessing widespread flooding.
Find more facts and figures at the Directgov website
The Association of British Insurers predicts an 8%, 14% or 25% increase for inland flooding insurance costs for a 2°, 4° or 6°C increase in temperature.
Meanwhile, our summers are growing drier and hotter: Central England Temperature has risen by about a degree Celsius since the 1970s, with 2006 being the warmest on record. We could be facing the kind of heat wave that killed thousands of people across the rest of Europe in 2003. We're already seeing widespread water shortages and drought could become a major threat. Overall, it's clear that the cost to society, the environment, our health and the economy is going to far outweigh any perceived benefits of a warmer UK. But luckily, there's something we can all do about it.
How we can fight climate change
Burning fossil fuels such as coal, oil and gas to make the energy we use is what produces carbon dioxide, one of the greenhouse gases that is said to cause climate change. So using less energy will help fight climate change, as well as saving you money. The Climate Change Act of November 2008 commits the UK to the long-term goal of reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 80% by 2050. Under the fourth carbon budget, the government is committed to reducing emissions domestically which will put the UK on course to reach these emissions targets.
The UK government:
- has introduced Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) for the sale and purchase of homes
- is working with energy suppliers through the Carbon Emission Reduction Target (CERT) to help householders improve the efficiency of their homes
- has banned incandescent bulbs in favour of energy-saving light bulbs
- introduced an additional tax on energy use for businesses
- got all electricity suppliers to provide 10% of the electricity they sell from renewable sources
- lowered VAT from 17.5% to 5% on some energy-saving materials, if fitted by professionals
- has given £80 million to microgeneration grant schemes and started a Feed-In Tariff so householders can earn money from generating electricity.

Councils of the Traditional Circle
The annual Elders & Youth Councils provide a forum for consideration of issues involving and affecting indigenous people. The issues are clarified and discussed, and the combined wisdom and experience of the group is utilized in seeking responses and solutions. Responses may involve direct or indirect action by the group or by individual members. A response may be simply the articulation of a moral position which then becomes an important tool in the hands of individual members.

Thanks in large part to the Cannes Film Festival, this was a great week in red carpets. I look forward to the French-flavored-festival each year because it prompts stars to step out in their best summer-appropriate formal (and some not-so-formal) wear. This week, I took notice of more than a few stunning starlets overseas, while also noting what those celebs who stayed stateside wore out and about. Here's my list of the best and the worst of the week…
Kim flew out to France to support her newest man — Kanye, of course — as he debuted "Cruel Summer," the short film he both wrote and directed. Since Kanye's fashion sense has been called into question on more than one occasion (Fashion Week!), it's hard to tell whether he or the sartorially-challenged Kim put this outfit together, but either way…it's not a winner in my book. No matter where she goes or who she's with, it seems Kim just can't shake her reality-TV-star-style.

Meanwhile, Kristen Stewart, an actual movie star, looks like anything but in this "ugh" dress. To me, this looks like something you'd fire your stylist over — was nothing else available? I'm just not quite sure what the thought process was behind the selection of this drapery.
Getty Images/Vittorio Zunino Celotto
Kristen Stewart's outfit choices weren't a total fail this week, however, as we loved these Balenciaga pants on her. Perhaps she should just stick to outfits that border on tomboy — they always work better on her in my mind. Kirsten Dunst, on the other hand, looked absolutely gorgeous in this feminine getup, which actually gives me hope for her On the Road co-star's fashion future. After all, it wasn't that long ago that Kirsten walked red carpets looking like she had just been released from a shelter of some sort. Here, she looks flawless.
Getty Images/Venturelli
What really shocked me, though, was that Kirsten killed it on the carpet more than once this week. The pretty pink dress pictured here might not have been much of a sartorial risk, but she looks better here than she has in years, don't you think?
Getty Images/ George Pimentel
We'll come back to Cannes — where we found our favorite look of the week — but first I want to talk about Chase Crawford, Anna Kendrick, Cameron Diaz, and Cheryl Cole at the UK premiere of What to Expect When You're Expecting. (Sidenote: How many premieres has this film had?!? It feels like a million.) I am not loving Anna's dress here, but I am loving her cap-toed shoes, which are so in right now. Cheryl, meanwhile, looks so good in this dress that even though I know I can't do tight or white, I want to buy one immediately. Cameron, however, could really benefit from some tayloring on her jumper. Doesn't she make something like $15M a movie — come on, Cameron! And finally…do you like Chase's beard? I'm undecided on it!
Getty Images/Dave Hogan
Lea Michele clearly didn't want anyone to be undecided about her in this dress, however. I'm guessing she's convinced at least half of the population to love it, but as I'm not in that half I'm not sure what I think of this look. I guess my overall feeling about this is that she's young and has a sick body that she probably works really hard for, so she may as well rock it? What do you think of Lea's cleavage-baring dress?
Getty Images/James Devaney
Elsewhere on the red carpet, Nicole Richie threw things back to the 1950's with this ensemble. At first glance, I absolutely loved this look. Upon further inspection, however, I realized that I actually only really loved the hair and makeup. The dress, in my opinion, is a bit too costume-esque.
Getty Images/Bennett Raglin
I'll finish out my roundup first with Diane Kruger, who I believe to be worthy of the best dressed award for the week. Personally, I would get married in this dress. It's absolutely breathtaking, and she looks impeccable in it. Joshua Jackson is one lucky guy!
Getty Images/Gareth Cattermole
Bjork, however, is not so lucky, at least not in terms of style. I've long since ceased to expect anything less than absurd from her, but that's not going to keep me from putting her on my worst dressed list. The only reason she's not at the absolute bottom of the heap this week is because…
Getty Images/Paul Zimmerman
…this woman, a.k.a. Lady Victoria Hervey, beat her to the title. We are not at the beach, lady, and no one wants to see your you-know-what. Put it away, cover it up — just get it off of the red carpet! The naked look will never, ever get you on a best dressed list. Just ask Cher.

Basement fire displaces 5 in Crystal Lake
CRYSTAL LAKE – A smokey basement fire late Tuesday displaced five residents of a Crystal Lake home, fire officials said.
Firefighters were called to a three-unit residence in the first block of South Williams Street about 11:30 p.m. All occupants had evacuated when the Crystal Lake Fire Rescue Department arrived, according to a news release.
The fire was contained to a laundry room in the basement, and damage was estimated at $10,000. No one was injured, but the home was declared uninhabitable until repairs are made. The cause of the fire is under investigation.

Topic: Improve hair growth - what to use?
I know about 2 brands that make shampoos and lotions for hair growth (on the head, yes): Shiseido (Adenogen line) and Renokin. For now I use Shiseido Adenogen - both things, shampoo and revitalizing lotion - and expect results of an experiment to the end of October, i.e. half-year from the time I started to use it. Shampoo is already doing well, because my hair stopped to drop out even after haircombing.
Did you use some hair improving products? What brand? And did it help? If you use something now, what is it? And how good does it work?

Aromas residents prepare for prospecting; Graniterock lawyer works for oil company.
Thursday, August 9, 2012
Watsonville-based mining giant Graniterock is working to assure Aromas residents that seismic testing by an oil-exploration company won't lead to hydraulic fracturing, or fracking.
"We are not in the oil business," Graniterock President and CEO Thomas Squeri wrote in a July 30 open letter.
But Graniterock's singular interest in rocks doesn't mean other companies aren't eyeing the region: "We do know there is oil in the ground in the Aromas area," Squeri wrote.
The company claims it's only interested in Freedom's research for data on granite deposits in the Wilson Quarry.
But Graniterock's general counsel, Kevin Jeffery, is also operations officer for oil exploration company Freedom Resources. The connection raises questions about how closely the companies' interests are linked.
Freedom was founded around 2010, Jeffery says, but he won't name its executives "for competitive reasons." He says he's been Freedom's operations officer since June, plus some earlier planning.
Former Graniterock CEO Bruce Woolpert died in a drowning accident on June 24, and Squeri was named the new CEO in late July.
As Freedom completed seismic testing in Aromas last month, citizens launched a grassroots group, Aromas Cares for our Environment, to educate themselves on what a prospective oil boom could mean.
The unincorporated region spans three counties – Monterey, San Benito and Santa Cruz – meaning there's no single county ordinance or elected official to respond to concerns. "The assumption about Aromas sometimes is that it's just a backwater, and in fact it's not," ACE spokeswoman Pat Lerman says.
She hopes Graniterock pushes for stricter county rules on oil extraction.
Squeri says Graniterock did allow Freedom's contractors onto its property for research, but didn't invite them out there. "I assume that they're looking for oil," he says, "but we asked [Freedom] to share any information from that study with us because it is useful in understanding the extent of our granite deposit."
Jeffery, however, says Graniterock actively reached out to companies with oil and gas expertise because they had the best seismic technology: "Graniterock's intention was to understand the scope of its granite deposit and the complex geology that lies beneath and around it."
He stresses that Graniterock maintains operational control over the seismic testing. "My role at Freedom Resources is the operational way that we at Graniterock maintain that control," he says.
"We are not going to engage in any fracking activity, and we are not going to allow any fracking activity."

Chimichurri Skirt Steak
Tonight for dinner I made some serious magic. After going to the butcher and picking up some beautiful mammoth-sized skirt steaks, I started brainstorming ideas on how to cook them I wanted to somehow make the steak summery and light, as it was just too hot for heaviness. And then, it came to me, a chimichurri. Originally from Argentina, chimichurri is an herb based marinade and/or sauce that will lighten up any meat and give it a powerful flavor punch. I made up my own version and happened to have beautiful fresh herbs in my garden *I know I actually sound like my idol Ina Garten right now tehe* that really enhanced the flavor. Let's just say, it was a TOTAL HIT, like grand slam status. I made a healthy sized portion of the sauce and used it to not only marinade the steaks, but to dip it in afterwards as well. It's herby, tangy, light, and spicy, and will take any meat from boring to beyond.
Chimichurri Skirt Steak (makes enough for a marinade for 2 lbs. of steak, and dipping sauce)
1 bunch flat leaf parsley
1 bunch curly leaf parsley
1 bunch cilantro
1 handful chives
1 small Vidalia onion
1 jalapeño pepper
1 banana supreme pepper
1/4 cup olive oil
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
juice of 3 limes
1/2 cube of raw ginger
garlic powder
Recipe: Coarsely chop the herbs, onion, and peppers. Put these along with all the rest of the ingredients into a food processor or blender. Purée until smooth and thick. Add more salt and pepper to taste.
Put your steaks into a large plastic bag. Pour 1/3 of the sauce into the bag and let the steaks marinate for at least an hour.
Cook on the grill on high, each side about 3-5 minutes on each side for medium. Serve with more sauce on the side
our ingredients…garden fresh herbs <3.and proof I picked these herbs. Ina I'm on my way up.
marinated steak hits the grill. check out those char marks.
and I mean is that nice or is that nice?
throw some more sauce on and you're GOOD

We're lucky to keep the grass green and growing in spots, much less having some to trim--it's gotten really hot here is why.
I just planted some lavender, lilies and lobelia here...summer is fantastic, isn't it, for the colors!
HUGS and blessings to you!

I have the leafy plant with the pretty little bell flowers, too, in my garden. I had never seen it before we bought our house and I had no idea what it was. A very sweet lady by the name of Lori emailed me yesterday to tell me that it is Solomon's Seal! I am so happy to know what it is called. I just had to tell you because it is not one that you see every day!
I am now a follower! And your gardens look lovely, btw.
I LOVE finding Canadian bloggers also! Thank you for introducing yourself.

Cougar Men's Golf Enters Final Round of Fall Season
Nov. 1, 2011 SAN MARTIN, Calif. - Washington State senior Trent Sanders recorded three birdies during the second round and is tied for 25th with 18 holes to play in the Gifford Collegiate at CordeValle, hosted by UCLA. Sanders shot a 3-over 74, Tuesday and sits 5-over in the tournament. Freshman Michael Anderson was 5-over 76, and is one shot back of Sanders, tied for 29th. "Trent has worked really hard on and off the course," Cougar Head Coach Garrett Clegg said. "He is making better decisions and is being aggressive at the right time. I can't say enough about Michael. Most freshmen have ups and downs, but he has been very consistent and that is impressive." A strong wind contributed to higher scores in day two of competition. Only tournament-leader USC (-3) was under par as a team. The Trojans are pacing the 11-team field at 13-under (697). UCLA is second, 12 shots back of its arch-rival. Other Cougars competing in the tournament are junior Hank Frame (T-47th, +10), senior Branden Dalton (T-64th, +15), sophomore Jarrett Foote (T-68th, +17) and senior Paul Mitzel (72nd, +25). Washington State is at 763 (+53) with the final round scheduled for an 8:15 a.m. shotgun start, Wednesday.

Erase the Border [Planned, Spring 2012]
"Erase the Border" is a project that will take place on the Tohono O'odham Indian Reservation in southern Arizona.
The Institute for Infinitely Small Things is currently seeking funding to complete the project in Spring 2012 (see detailed request below).
The project would be to physically "erase" the U.S.-Mexico border fence on the Tohono O'odham Nation in southern Arizona. The fence divides the Tohono O'odham community, disrupts ceremonial paths, desecrates sacred burial grounds and prevents members from receiving critical health services.
Ofelia Rivas and youth from the Tohono O'odham Nation will work with the Institute for Infinitely Small Things to create a series of drawings from performances on the U.S.-Mexican border in southern Arizona.
What we will do
We will walk the border fence in a ceremonial way.
We will drag and press large 30″ x 40″ sheets of fine art paper along the fence as we go.
The walking and pressure will create drawings that pick up physical matter – dirt, debris, bugs, rust – and remove it from the border fence.
A small part of the border fence will be removed forever.
The created drawings are abstract landscapes.
About the Tohono O'odham
The Tohono O'odham are an indigenous tribe that live on the second largest indian reservation in the U.S. Their lands straddle 75 miles of the U.S.-Mexico border in southern AZ. The O'odham lived on the land long before the US or Mexico or the Gadsden Purchase or Homeland Security.
The vehicle border fence, erected in 2008 by Homeland Security, stretches for 75 miles across the O'odham lands in the deserts of Arizona.
More Information
Please watch the below video for a full background on the Tohono O'odham's situation on the border.
Seeking Funding
Originally slated to be performed in Fall 2011, this project continues to seek funding to be completed in Spring 2012. See below for more info.
Any contribution is welcome; our total need is $2,400, which would cover the following:
- Travel for 2 members of Institute for Infinitely Small Things from Boston to AZ
- Fine art paper
- Transportation for Ofelia Rives, O'odham youth and Institute members (distances on the reservation are great and gas is expensive)
- Honorarium for youth participants
- One day of meals for everyone involved
- Still photography, video documentation and post-production
The Border Crossed Us
The Border Crossed Us is a temporary public art installation by the Institute for Infinitely Small Things that transplants the US-Mexico border fence in southern Arizona to the UMass Amherst campus.
The Border Crossed Us Book is now available for order. See below for details.
What happens when we divide a territory that the community imagines as contiguous? How does the international border in Arizona, seemingly remote from a college campus in northern New England, touch all of our lives?
From April 20 to May 1st, the UMass Amherst campus was divided along its North-South boundary by a to-scale photographic replica of the vehicle fence that runs along the international boundary in southern Arizona. The particular stretch of fence being represented was erected in 2007 by Homeland Security and now divides the Tohono O'odham Nation – the second largest Native American reservation in the country – into two parts.
The fence will ran between a parking garage and the campus center. Over the course of two weeks it served as a provocation, a touchstone for conversation, and a site for talks and performances. Along with the fence's insertion into daily life on campus, the project invited a delegation of Tohono O'odham, including a tribal elder and several youth to speak about their experience. In addition, the Native American Studies Certificate Program in the Anthropology Department held a panel discussion on Borders & Indigenous Sovereignty as part of the campus' annual Native American Powwow. Border issues affect several other tribes, including the Mohawk and Abenaki. The delegation of O'odham spoke along with others about these issues during the conference and participate in the powwow.
This project was commissioned by the University Museum of Contemporary Art at UMass Amherst.
The following time-lapse video of the installation was produced using a motion-detecting camera designed for hunting purposes. Sounds are from the accompanying sound installation, which was installed inside the large, circular parking garage vent in the foreground:
The Border Crossed Us Book
This 42-page, full-color book uses maps, essays, photographs, and a variety of other rich graphics to communicate the background and results of The Border Crossed Us.
More info, images and dialogue on the project website:
No One Has Yet Determined What The Body Can Do
On Sunday, October 1 2011 the Institute joined with Occupy Boston in the 6th HONK! Parade to carry signs with two messages: "NO ONE HAS YET DETERMINED WHAT THE BODY CAN DO" and "#OCCUPYBOSTON".
At 7AM Thursday, October 6 2011 the Institute strung banners over a Boston highway with the same messages. This was done as part of the multi-city Afghanistan War Tenth Anniversary Banners project.
Transgender Bathroom Dedication
Transgender Bathroom Dedication dedicates the men's room at the MFA Boston to Dean Spade who was arrested in 2002 for using the men's room in Grand Central Station and dedicates the women's room at the MFA Boston to Chrissy Pollis who was the victim of a transgender hate crime in a Maryland bathroom in May 2011.
These two new works are gifts to the MFA Boston on behalf of the Institute for Infinitely Small Things. They were emplaced as part of "Boston's Best 40-ennial", a 19-minute historical and totally unauthorized exhibition in the bathroom of the MFA Boston organized by Greg Cook on June 20th, 2011.
More information about the exhibition:
Failure Support Group
Is there, actually, a recipe for failure? Are certain methodologies more prone to failure than others? How? What is at stake in acknowledging failure in one's process, one's community, or one's career?
Failure Support Group from Infinitely Small on Vimeo.
In April 2011, The Institute for Infinitely Small Things sent out an open invitation to discuss failed processes and failed projects. Consisting of 5-7 minute presentations by the Institute and invited participants, the event addressed the ways in which failures can and cannot be currently discussed in the world–and how we may be able to imagine to new ways to perceive, view and characterize what "failure" is.
This was the second part in a series started by Platform2.
The World's Largest Potluck Ever
The World's Largest Potluck Ever would stage a mile-long potluck dinner on the Cambridge Street Corridor in Cambridge, MA, in an attempt to break the Guinness record, showcase the diversity of the businesses and residents, build community, publish a recipe book and display a dazzling array of home-cooked meals. For one Sunday afternoon, the whole street would be transformed into a giant neighborhood block party with food, performers and fun.
The World's Largest Potluck Ever was inspired by Cambridge Street's history as a commercial corridor of independently-run businesses and as a meeting place for people from diverse regions. Cambridge Street has seen significant waves of immigrants from Ireland, Poland, Italy, Portugal and Brazil. While the street has numerous festivals and special events (such as the 84-year-old annual Feast of Saints Cosmas and Damian or the Inman Square summer movie nights) there is no special event that celebrates the corridor specifically.
The World's Largest Potluck Ever was part of a competition for the Cambridge Street Public Art Commission in Cambridge, MA, in 2010. It was on display in the city's art gallery in Spring 2010 and three local residents were commissioned to create homemade dishes for gallery visitors to taste. Unfortunately the project was not selected for the commission but this idea is still worth doing! (Who does not want to attend the world's largest potluck ever??) Contact me if you are interested in reviewing the full proposal.
Art & Cartography
An article for the International Encyclopedia of Human Geography, published by Elsevier Press. Download article.
Art has taken a distinct "cartographic turn" in the last century. This period represents a veritable explosion of artwork that takes on cartography in order to critique, subvert, and reimagine territory. Artists have made maps, subverted maps, performed itineraries, imagined territories, contested borders, charted the invisible, and hacked physical, virtual, and hybrid spaces. There are three loose groupings of important mapping impulses that have characterized the artistic appropriation of cartographic strategies, both literally and metaphorically, from the early twentieth century to present times: 1) Symbol Saboteurs: artists who use the visual iconography of the map to reference personal, fictional, utopian, or metaphorical places; 2) Agents and Actors: artists who make maps or engage in situated, locational activities in order to challenge the status quo or change the world; and 3) Invisible Data-Mappers: artists who use cartographic metaphors to visualize informational territories such as the stock market, the Internet, or the human genome. This article outlines and contextualizes these three impulses with numerous examples.
It takes 154,000 breaths to evacuate Boston
kanarinka ran the entire evacuation route system in Boston and attempted to measure the distance in human breath. The project also involves a podcast and a sculptural installation of the archive of tens of thousands of breaths .
The project is an attempt to measure our post-9/11 collective fear in the individual breaths that it takes to traverse these new geographies of insecurity.
The $827,500 Boston emergency evacuation system was installed in 2006 to demonstrate the city's preparedness for evacuating people in snowstorms, hurricanes, infrastructure failures, fires and/or terrorist attacks.
It takes 154,000 breaths to evacuate Boston consists of:
- a series of running performances in public space (2007)
- a web podcast of breaths (2007)
- a sculptural installation of the archive of breaths (2008)
Running Performances
Website & Podcast
Archive of Breaths (sculptural piece)
Medium: custom-made table, 26 jars, 26 speaker components, wire, 13 CD players
Dimensions: 45″x72″x16″
I created a sculptural & audio archive of the collection of breaths. There are 26 jars on a custom-made table which correspond to the 26 runs it took to cover the evacuation routes. Each jar size corresponds to the number of breaths from that run. The speaker inside the jar plays the breaths collected from that run. (Better documentation coming soon)
This piece is on view in Experimental Geography, a traveling show curated by Nato Thompson and produced by ICI.
