2.48/5 rDev -3.5%
Poured a 473-ml can into a tall draught glass.
Appearance - a straw yellow colour with a decent head at the beginning, leaving a little lace after it disappeared.
Smell - corn and grass. Not much going on here.
Taste - a light, sweet flavour with mild malt tones. Very little to savour as it rapidly fades out.
Mouthfeel - smooth enough with medium carbonation. Can't make up for the lack of taste.
Drinkability - bottom line: boring. Another off-the-shelf mass-produced beer, there are many better.

1.78/5 rDev -30.7%
Appearance Light yellow in color with a foamy white head that poured big and laced the glass.
Smell Stale grain with no sweetness noticeable. The only fresh thing in this glass was a baby skunk.
Taste I got a little bit of sucrose in the taste, but the nasty grain showed up as well along with some funky kind of hop flavor. This was almost as bad as Heiny-in-a-can.
Mouthfeel Very light and thin, which was disappointing.
Drinkability I barely got this one down. They should have left this one on top of the glacier

This was much better than expected, and much better than I remember it being. I didn't realise it was bottle conditioned, and maybe the time it took to get to me in Australia improved it. I didn't think it was as bad as most people say it is - the hop flavour was still intact and not skunky, and with the sediment in the glass it was quite enjoyable. Artificial-looking gold colour, reasonably good head retention, nice taste for a macro brew, definitely better than our working-class beers here in Australia. Some chemical undertones as are to be expected. I may even buy another one at import price just to confirm my satisfaction.

The appearance of this headless lager its not immediately appealing, just like another beer served with some fizz and a flat head. It strength is definitely in the clean crisp taste and drinkability. When served cold this beer has little detectable flaws and has a minimal adjunct tastes. This refreshing beer is lightly malted and finishes with a mild degree of bitterness.

Yellow pour, white head, a decent amount of lace for a fizzy yellow beer, but nonetheless, still uninspired. Corn and egg smell. And not in the good breakfast way.
Taste, again, uninspired, just blandness, far from the worst AAL, but being middle of the road for this style is usually pretty bad regardless. Mild corn flavor, sugar water, thin mouthfeel, non existant hops, tons of carbonation. A pretty watery experience, which is good, because non of the off aroma stuff came into the taste.
The most intriguing aspect of this beer was where I found it. In the mexican food store on the southside of Milwaukee. Its like, all these central american lagers, and then bam, kokanee for $7.99 a 6pack. Why the price is that high, I have no idea, no marketing, no advertisements, no ingredients = a price slightly higher than the everyday price for SNPA?

1.33/5 rDev -48.2%
pours a pale straw color into a clear light yellow body. almost half inch head that dissipates hella quickly. weak, stringy, transparent lacing. slightest appearance of haze and sediment.
smells of rice, stale glacier water, hay, old bread, and, oh yeah, pee.
no taste whatsoever. bland, dead on-bringing to wet, watery finish. flat-to-staunch aftertaste. comparable to old apple juice sitting in a cup all day, then bitterly consumed.
picked up a 6er of this in port orchard before an open mic, wanting to try something new. big, big mistake.

Wow, just like Carlton Cold, only Canadian and with even less flavour, can't remember having too many blander beers than this. Some plastic flavours and some pee. I can't remember having too many blander beers than this, and i wish i didn't have a character limit in my review for this beer, because i can't anything else more about it.

Serviceable lager, with a light body with a bit of fluffly white head. Light colour, only some metallic taste and refreshing malt flavoured water.Inoffensive mild taste, and scent, even when not ice cold after skiing. Fizzy carbonation. Not bad for Labatt.

Brought a can of Kokanee back from Canada. It is typical of most North American beers. Golden clear in color with white head that eventually dissappears...no lacing. The smell and taste are mostly grain with enough hop balance to make it smooth. Mouthfeel tends to be light in body with good carbonation. Overall it is a decent drinkable beer.

2.98/5 rDev +16%
Pours an effervescent gold/hay color with 3+ fingers of fluffed up pearl colored head. Below average head retention & lacing
S: Corny & a bit lemon hops as this warms
T: Lemony hops, a bit of cereal (corn flakes), honey malt & some grassyness up front. Dryness, honey & cornyness are there as this warms. Finishes crisp, but way too thin
MF: Light & soft bodied with moderate carbonation, balances too sweet
I could do about 2 of these & I'd have to move, way too sweet. Could be worse, just not that tasty

Maybe its the glacier water they use. But there is some funk here that is simply not good.
Pours a standard lager yellow, if a little ememic, pale. Creamy head, no lacing.
Smells really sour, and not much else. Seems like its "missing something"
Taste sort of reminds me of drinking diet pop for some reason. Tastes like beer, looks like beer, just something kind of chemically, funky. The sweetness seems manufactured. This is all brought together by a decent hopiness and a good helping of the funky glacier water. Tastes rather watery.
Feels like you're drinking Perier water. Water + funk = Kokanee.
The only thing this stuff has going for it is the hops and when served cold its pretty refreshing. I'd drink this stuff if i was thirsty and there was no other beer around.

This was once a go to beer before I began my journey in beer advocacy, lets see how its stands up today...
A - light straw golden, short white head dissipated to quickly to a thin covering
S - grassy, grainy, and metallic mustiness
T - corn and grainy malt flavours with faint hint of leafy hops, but its generally watery and mild
M - light and and watery, a slight dryness on the finish, easily chuggable but not much character
O - it is what it is, a mass produced american lager competing for a market that does not reward risks but rather light flavour and drinkability, it achieves those goals but not much else, although when push comes to shove I will always order a Kokanee over Bud, Canadian, Coors, and the rest

3.15/5 rDev +22.6%
Appearance This one pours a very filtered looking yellow while retaining a small amount of white head. It looks somewhat the same coming out thirty minutes later.
Smell A touch of skunk, wet grass, hops, and a touch of malt.
Taste Tastes grassier than anything. I taste a touch of sweet honey in there with a nice crisp hop finish. Its very straightforward and simple.
Mouthfeel Highly carbonated and thin. Not how I like my beer to feel.
Drinkability This one can be downed like there is no tomorrow. Its not a beer meant to be savored so it has achieved its goal here.
Kokanee is what Ill serve my not so adventurous friends. Its a reliable easy drinking macro which does fine as a refresher on a hot day.

Ah Kokanee, a staple of my younger days, when I drank beer most often for the alcohol, not the taste. I swore by it then, swore that it tasted better than any of the other major beers.
The beer looks pretty good as far a lagers go, clear golden yellow with a foamy white head that sat at about a finger thick. It has faded to a thin cap, but there is some lacing left behind.
The smell is grainy, with a faint sweet malt base. Has a certain freshness to it that makes it a bit better than the average macro.
While it enters the mouth a bit watery, the beers flavour follows up relatively well. The back half of the mouth gets a grainy and slightly bitter flavour. There is a sweet taste that seems to only enter the mouth after a mouthfull is swallowed. All in all the flavour is light, but certainly inoffensive.
I find that Kokanee has more body than most macro lagers, almost being a tad sticky. The carbonation is what one would expect for a lager, and it does get a bit coarse in the finish.
I wouldn't try to sell any advocates on this beer, though I wouldn't suggest that they avoid it either. This is still what I'll pick if Molson and Labbatt are my choices. Goes down great and makes me think of hot days on the golf course.

Well, picking a player for the POTW was pretty difficult this time. The Bulldogs had an abysmal week, playing two games against the Eastern Conference best, Syracuse Crunch.
In this two game span the Bulldogs were outscored 7-1. Their only goal scorer was Steven Quailer, who scored his goal on Friday in front of the Bell Centre faithful, his first goal as a pro. Quailer and Antoine Corbin were the only Dogs players to finish the week with a + in the +/- column, each were +1 in the two game stretch.
Both Corbin and Quailer were considered for the POW, but it seemed chintzy to award them for simply being the best of the worst; but someone had to take home the award, and ultimately we settled on Robert Mayer.
Mayer turned aside 57 shots out of the 63 he faced. Though those numbers are far from stellar, Mayer has been one of the few Bulldogs doing his job this week. Going into the season Mayer was expected back up Cedric Desjardins but with Desjardins on the sidelines, Mayer has started 8 out 10 games, and still has a winning record (4-3-0-1).
So there you have it, this weeks Hamilton Bulldogs Player of the (weak) Week. The Bulldogs will look to turn it around Rochester and Toronto (twice) next week.

Fair Trade Comics: Liz Prince Will Swallow the Key to Your HeartA comic review article by: David Fairbanks
Fair Trade Comics is an ongoing series where Comics Bulletin looks at creator-owned comics that you can read without guilt or moral compromise.
Liz Prince produced a few minicomics before her debut book, Will You Still Love Me if I Wet the Bed?, was published by Top Shelf in 2005, subsequently being translated into French and Spanish in the years before her webcomic was collected as Delayed Replays. Since then, Prince had made a living off of anthology work, commissions and more minicomics. Her latest work is the third installment of I Swallowed the Key to My Heart, an ongoing comic of autobiographical romance and heartbreak.
It would be pretty easy to dismiss I Swallowed the Key to My Heart before reading it, just from that last sentence; there are quite a few amateurs who think that all you need for a good comic are a broken heart and a pen. Prince, however, is a professional, often hailed as the female counterpart to Jeffrey Brown and for good reason. Prince brings a sincerity not unlike that found in Brown's autobiographical work and couples it with an artistic style accentuating smooth line work and beautifully expressive facial expression that has been honed to perfection over the last eight years.
Prince gives you the following disclaimer before jumping into her life:
This comic, while being autobiographical, falls into the trap of being told from one person's perspective, and therefore cannot be considered 100% fair or factual. Try to enjoy it despite this shortcoming.
It's pretty easy to slip into sugar-coating your own past, but in issue three, the disclaimer seems to be much more of a formality as Prince struggles with the temptation of leaving a stable relationship for a cute comic shop employee that keeps coming by her work.
Once they stray away from perfect for even a fraction of a second, relationships need only a tiny nudge to become incredibly messy and/or painful things. It would be easy to simply tell one side of the story, but instead the pages alternate between the excitement of a new romance and the pain of hurting someone she still cares about.
And that's what sets Prince apart from the countless amateurs who, in a fit of heartbreak, scribble out their story in words and pictures. I feel like I overuse the word "sincerity" when discussing the comics I enjoy, maybe that's my weak point, but I really do believe that the honest portrayal of the autobiographical cartoonist, warts and all, delivers the stories that can change people's lives, even if it's just letting them know that they weren't the only one who had a cake covered with candied penises and vaginas made for their boyfriend, decorated it with an icing squid and then ended the relationship shortly after.
Okay, maybe it's not always that specific, but I think you get my point. Prince is a splendid cartoonist who seems to be doing everything right in the medium. I Swallowed the Key to My Heart is black-and-white and oversized (roughly golden age sized, 8.5x11"), which explains the only fault I've found with it: at $5, it's a bit pricey. Of course, you don't need to take any gambles to see if you like her work, as a great deal of it is online. So head on over to her site and if you like what you see, support an independent cartoonist through one of her many printed comics; they're all quite good.

David Fairbanks doesn't get many things right the first time. He studied physics in college, loves science, music, comics, poetry, movies, books and education pertaining to all of the above. He will talk your ear off about Grant Morrison and Ben Folds, has an indie bookshelf larger than his Marvel, DC and Vertigo ones combined and if he ever actually grows up, more than anything else, he wants to still be happy as an "adult," whatever that is.

garethace wrote: I think you will appreciate Ali Grehan's talk transcript of last May '08, when I get it online. Even though her talk was to do with BRL, Ballymun Regeneration Limited, she makes her points so well it is worth posting. Ali does refer at the end of her talk, with a deep sense of approval to this tower scheme proposed on North Wall Quay. I think her words were, 'I feel very encouraged by the West 8 project'. (Obviously a company name used for the North Wall Quay site) It appears as if DDDA were positive about the project. DCC were too. It appears as though everyone was feeling 'so encouraged'. I cannot understand how we ended up where we are.
DDDA, a facilitator role rather than a design role. Old customs house authority, concerned a lot with cars and traffic management. In 1997, the Dublin Docklands Development Authority was formed. It's remit was widened to social regeneration. The area has been widely developed with mixed use development. DDDA involvement in property, physical development of the city, building of infrastructure. Financial services centre, a catalyst for economic expansion in the past 15 years.
Working with the community. Rising tide of what goes on, integrate them into it. The urban void is not just spatial, it is also social. Projects for the community – social work. The way the space is layered, the social stratification. Throughout Docklands history, people who worked in these areas, also lived in the area. Docklands is a place which has been severed away from the rest of the city largely by infrastructure. The loop line, creates bridges, that are visually obstructive.
Water and spaces around the water. The reason for the city of Dublin is the river. Junction of not just the Liffey, but also the Dodder and the man made amenities of Poolbeg, Royal and Grand Canal. Canal docks were really extensions of the edge surface of the river. Railways of 1840s and 1850s made canals redundant. A lot of Docklands is built land. Dublin port deepened, and extended into the bay. Army surplus oil tanker, led to containerisation, Sealand company and ultimately to globalisation of trade. At the end of its previous life, large parcels of land were left, with industrial uses associated with them. Gasometer, the production of town gas. Light the streets of Dublin. Notice the the size of sites that developers acquire. Large chunks of land, which lend themselves to perimeter block development.
Looking at it in terms of the scale of the city – bridges. 12 bridges from Heuston Station to O'Connell St. From the customs house down, there aren't very many bridges. If you were to implement a similar frequency of bridges, it would look something like this. (shows slide)
Public buildings in the docklands. Abbey Theatre, Georges Dock, National Conference Centre, Grand Canal Theatre, Point Theatre. Before 1978, the river was navigable as far as the Customs House, when the Matt Talbot bridge was completed. Customs house itself is severed by loop line and Matt Talbot bridge in 1978. Effectively putting it on a giant traffic island. DDDA engaging with traffic management at DCC. Loading/unloading of goods at customs house continued up until 1950s. At which time a granite wall was erected. (Which is now black) It contrasts badly in the view from across the river, with white limestone of customs house. The Customs house lost much of its floating quality of the original Gandon scheme. Board walks and campshires – connecting Customs house back to the river.
Dublin inner city is very hard. An idea of trees and gardens is missing from this part of the city. The campshires landscape is quite severe. Slide of quayside in Paris. Dutch landscape and master planning practice working with DDDA. Person able to walk all along the Royal canal from Roscommon. Docklands portion is the only bit one cannot walk. 2 no. new footbridges to tie across the river. Striking a balance with use of the river for navigational purposes. Lighting of space – tie it together and make it more attractive. Issue of safety. West 8 scheme, a cluster of office buildings. Canal to surround the project – introducing water into the depth of the North Lotts area. To create a different identity. Re-introduce a relationship back to the water.
Quotation: Every city has its its cracks. There are gaps in the urban form. Where overall continuity is disrupted. The residual space is left undeveloped, underused or deteriorated. The physical ties that purposefully or accidentally separate social worlds. The spaces which development has passed by. Or new development has created fragmentation and interruption.
The above quote is from a paper called 'Cracks in the City', 1996 by Anastasia Loukaitou-Sideris. A paper which addresses constraints and potential of urban design. It echoes the theme of the Lisbon conference and what I am going to talk about now. Anastasia goes on in the paper to giver one example of a crack. Where public housing developments are fenced islands of poverty. Abandonement and deterioration have filled vacant spaces with thrash and human waste. That might sound a bit extreme, but it very much describes the Ballymun when we came along in 1997. Ballymun was very abruptly inserted into the landscape of north Dublin. It was conceived, commissioned and constructed in five years. From the government reviewing a report on system built housing in the early 60s, to building it in 1969, only five years had elapsed. It was quite stark. On it's completion it was heralded as a new town. Although were some reservation expressed, where an anonymous writer said:
"Surely the integration (I use the word hopefully) of 12-15 thousand people is something that should be tackled from a planning point of view and not left to depend on a few mouldy old concrete sections".
When we look at that and we thought about how we were going to present extremely complex project at the Lisbon conference, we decided to just try and tell the story in very simple graphics. Using figure ground diagrams and tenure diagrams. Through those diagrams, maybe just hint at the evolution of change, that had occurred since Ballymun was first conceived in the early 60s.
When we ask ourselves as a master planner, what do we do now? What went wrong? How do we put it right? Really, to my mind, it was simply a question of size. Or scale, or grain. Whichever word, grain would be the word commonly used. In the first instance, the first example of scale: of course the physical form of buildings and spaces. Lack of discussion between buildings and the spaces. In my mind, well designed buildings or spaces initiate or facilitate conversation. Between buildings, spaces and people who inhabit the spaces. There hasn't been much of a conversation going on in Ballymun – if anything, if might call it a shouting match, if even that. Really, the question is, how do you find an appropriate scale?
I had to contact the curator at Tate Modern to get these images. He spoke at the Lisbon conference that a lot of us attended. He showed us the project which was for the first exhibition mounted in the turbine hall in the Tate. The Tate had been open for 2 years. Everyone was fabulously impressed with this amazing building. But in the main space they said where was the art? The curators didn't know how they would introduce art into the turbine hall. So they decided they would have to meet this challenge. The curator decided to set up an exhibition of 25 sculptures, all scaled at a human scale. I think what he did is an excellent example of how you deal with scale and the transition of scale between something massive like the turbine hall – which has been described as a secular cathedral – and how you bring it down to a human scale. While also dealing with the practical issues. Like how do you protect the art? He didn't want to put them on plinths. So he had to introduce layers and thresholds to actually achieve that.
This is one of our diagrams, which is a figure ground diagram. Really, it doesn't make any sense. Because to understand the layout of Ballymun in 1997, what you need is a road network diagram. The location of the buildings do not really mean anything. Basically what we had to do is look at how you converted that diagram, completely invert it, into a more legible diagram – that would have properly enclosed space. We are well over half way through that process. John's (McLoughlin) comment about landscaping the docklands is relevant here as well. I think since we have started we've planted over 2 or 3 thousand trees. I am not sure how many. But even that shows a huge improvement.
Another aspect of form which was to improve the scale, was the whole issue of permeability. Ballymun in 1997, the same as it was in 1977, was a roundabout at a deadend. Then either through accident or design, there is a completely impenetrable buffer zone separating the estate from the adjoining, existing 2 storey housing. We did diagrams showing how we would need to, and how we could plan to make Ballymun more permeable and connected to the adjoining areas. By 1997, the M50 had arrived and there was a junction. So inadvertedly, the M50 was one of the first 'bringers' of regeneration to Ballymun. Because then you had to drive through it to get someone from the airport. It is possibly why, people noticed how awful it was and then decided maybe we need to do something about this place.
Our ultimate goal is to connect it completely with the adjoining estates. The dotted line signifies cul-de-sacs. The solid lines are through-routes. This dotted line is completely innocuous, it is just a scribble. But it represents one of the most controversial issues facing the regeneration team. It signifies hours, weeks and months of heated negotiation, emergency meetings.
The second question of size which we looked at is tenure. When Ballymun was originally constructed it was 100% social housing. Which would be fine except it was so large. You are talking about 5,000 social housing units, which was fairly significant. The social housing tenants have all been able to buy out their houses. But they weren't in a position to buy their flats. That is still the case. Over time, about half of the houses were bought out. But none of the flats could be bought out. By 1997, the tenure mix was 80% social and 20% private. Which is the complete opposite to what would be the national norm. so really the challenge is to completely invert that tenure mix. To 20% social and 80% private. It has actually been very difficult to achieve. Now you have a situation where most of the houses are social, and most of the apartments that have been springing up along main street are private. But over time it should evolve. But ultimately, the aim really is to enable people to take ownership of the space that is immediately outside their front door.
The third section I want to talk about is strategy. The question of size is the title of one of the essays in E.M. Schumacher's book 'Small is Beautiful'. In that chapter he talks about things like, how big should the city be, how big should the country be? In a further part he talks about large organisations. He accepts that it is completely inevitable. That there will be extremely large organisations. But he urges that the fundamental task is that to achieve smallness in large organisations. I think BRL, is an excellent example of that in practice. Because BRL was set up by Dublin City Council to implement the master plan. In hindsight, it would be impossible to see how it could have been done any other way. Because it needed that dedicated focus on the ground.
Another strategy worth noting is that whole strategy of the enabler of the new. It has been said that neighbourhood regeneration is one of the key components of urban renewal. It has also been said that the key to good government is grassroots involvement. In other words, good politics makes good places. It is also about clear ideas collaboratively realised. We are here in the civic offices, which is the civic heart of this new town of Ballymun.
Another installation which is on at the moment in the Tate Modern is Doris Salcedo, Shibboleth Oct 2007 - April 2008. A 'shibboleth' is a custom, phrase or use of language that acts as a test of belonging to a particular social group or class. By definition, it is used to exclude those deemed unsuitable to join this group. 'The history of racism', Salcedo writes, 'runs parallel to the history of modernity, and is its untold dark side'. For hundreds of years, Western ideas of progress and prosperity have been underpinned by colonial exploitation and the withdrawal of basic rights from others. Our own time, Salcedo is keen to remind us, remains defined by the existence of a huge socially excluded underclass, in Western as well as post-colonial societies.
I am sorry to end on a serious note, but I think that represents a key challenge facing our city and the country. How do we integrate both culturally and physically. Niall (McCullough) talked about this threat, this perceived threat of tall buildings. Of course, we can discuss that. I don't think myself that tall buildings are going to be threatening. I simply think what matters is how the buildings meet the ground, and how they talk to each other. But fundamentally, it is about integration.
I was at a very interesting conference last week. Nothing to do with architecture. It was an education conference. Doctor Dermot Martin spoke. What he was talking about mainly was how do we integrate? How do we make sure that there is cultural integration at secondary school level? He spoke about the problem of ghetto-isation. Not just of the poor, but also of the rich. This reaching for illusionary safe havens. I also heard Doc. Martin talk on the Late Late Show before Christmas. He spoke about the problem of new developments in the city centre. A lot of places, they are gated, they turned their back on the street. He wondered what kind of problems were going to arise from that. Where the people who lived, the new people, they had no connection with the street. They had no connection with neighbours. They possibly had no connection to each other. I think that is something we really have to think about. It is also a challenge for architects to find ways through design to ensure that that doesn't happen. I think, doesn't have to happen.
(Cartoon on final slide) Another issue which is facing us, is the increasing privatisation of public space. That must be looked at. Because obviously people want spaces to be well managed, so the immediate temptation is to hand it over to private companies to manage. In fact, to not take ownership to them at all. I was really encouraged to hear what John McLoughlin, John McLoughlin's presentation last week. Where his architects were talking about the West 8 scheme. One of the things that they spoke, I suppose, very eloquently about was how this space to the river should be public. I was very encouraged by that. That, that was something which was so obvious to this group of architects. Ending on that note.
(Loud Applause from the audience at Ballymun Civic Centre)
reddy wrote:We need to aim at becoming a highly skilled, highly innovative economy at the forefront of new technology and business practices. To do this our infrastructure must enable it. So in this sense what is right for London, is right for Beijing, and IS right for Dublin. I'm not talking about architectural style or context here but means of allowing this development in business and economy.
A key message in this book is that the old monolithic multinational that creates value in a closed hierarchical fashion is dead. Winning companies today have open and porous boundaries and compete by reaching outside their walls to harness external knowledge, resources, and capabilities. Even the stodgy, capital-intensive manufacturing industries are no exception to this rule. Indeed, there is no part of the economy where this opening and blurring of corporate boundaries has more revolutionary potential.
I have found elegant tall buildings generally incorporate about 400 meters squared. Which gives them about four apartments per floor. In comparison with say buildings in Canary Wharf where the shape is around 40,000 sq. feet per floor. Those scale of buildings with very large floor plates, are sometimes very unhappy in how they puncture the skyline. Alot of the big banking HQ's will really be 15,000 sq. feet per floor. Less than half the size of those in Canary Wharf. Floor plates are sometimes very compact.
Dublin centre is to remain low rise, but if anything did puncture the skyline, it would need to be a strategic contribution to the city in terms of the economic or cultural or in terms of public amenity. It wouldn't damage the architectural legacy in terms of views, in terms of environmental qualities or in terms of creating preceedent. The role of the heart of the inner city as The centre of that city region and what it needs to be sucessful, you do need the city core to triumph! Looking back to the profile of the city in the middle ages, you did see churches puncturing the skyline. I think there still is a case to be made for acknowledging a central role or importance and announcing something special. And it would have to be something special, in terms of creating an exception.
Between human beings there is a type of intercourse which proceeds not from knowledge, or even from lack of knowledge, but from failure to know what isn't known. This was true of much of the discourse on the market. At luncheon in downtown Scranton, the knowledgeable physician spoke of the impending split-up in the stock of Western Utility Investors and the effect on prices. Neither the doctor nor his listeners knew why there should be a split-up, why it should increase values, or even why Western Utility Investors should have any value. But neither the doctor nor his audience knew that he did not know. Wisdom, itself, is often an abstraction associated not with fact or reality but with the man who asserts it and the manner of its assertion.

Frank Duffy, chairman of DEGW, is an advocate of the flexible office. His theories could redefine office buildings of the future. Frank believes that UK developers do not consider the impact of radical changes in working practices on the office market. He believes that flexible workspace can save the occupier money and adapt to changing working practices. He feels that the factory office environment where workers perform routine set tasks is in decline, and a type of 'club style of office is emerging.
The internal depth of 15m gives optimal flexibility with reasonable quality daylighting, and a sense of view to the outside. Increasing the building depth above 15m tends to lead to the perception of a "deep plan building". A 12m depth floorplate would in general be too small unless a very substantial amount of cellular academic office space was required.
Townsend advised developers to design office blocks "from the inside out" rather than focus on exterior design.

No. He tanked it in LA. Before that possibly, but now no way in my book!
for now YES!!!!
I admit, his statistics are borderline, BUT because he ENDED his career in the MLB in a YANKEES uniform...he will get some serious considerations.
If, however, he comes back and dons another NON-Yankee uniform, then no, he wont get in.
I know Im pessimistic, but Ive always said, if youre a decent player, and you finish your career as a Yankee or you were with the Yankees long enough, youre in the Hall of fame. Even Andruw Jones playing as a backup outfielder will test my theory IF he gets in.
It depends on how much you like his defense

For nearly 40 years, the Cheyenne Animal Shelter has extended the hand of kindness to neglected and abused companion animals in Cheyenne and Laramie County. Today, we are involved in an ever-expanding effort to accomplish a mission that goes beyond sheltering the homeless and unwanted pet population. Our goal is to find a home for every adoptable companion animal brought to our door. To reach this goal, we must increase the number of pets we place and decrease the number of pets relinquished. We hope to achieve this goal through ongoing community relations programs, such as humane education, offsite adoptions and outreach.
Thank you for visiting us and we hope to see you in person someday.

Three people are behind bars after a mini crime spree in Waco that lasted from Sunday until Tuesday morning.
Christopher Cornett, Curtis Fields and Stephanie Martin have all been charged with engaging in organized criminal activity and burglary of a building. Cornett and Martin have also been charged with possession of meth.
Police say they stole from several parked cars, even a business, but unlike many burglaries, this story has a happy ending.
One item taken, and later returned by police, was a Chevy Suburban being serviced at Texas Star Tire & Auto Repair.
The shop's owner, Devlin Cole, says the owner of the SUV is thrilled, "Oh he was elated. He showed up here about an hour later to look at it and he was so surprised. His exact words were, I guess it's built like a tank."
Police say they have a good samaritan to thank. A local man called them when he saw one of the suspects pushing a shopping cart full of car stereos, power tools and more.
Waco Police Sergeant Patrick Swanton says, "It's just such a violation to folks that someone has come and stolen their stuff. People don't like thieves, but again, because of a phone call this morning by a citizen, we've got three thieves in jail where they belong."
While Waco PD credit the good samaritan, the people who got their belongings back are thanking police too.
Cole says, "Waco PD did a fantastic job. They don't get the praise they deserve a lot of times. They have to be the bad guy because they have to say they couldn't find them or whatever, but this time they got it done and they got it done right."
Most of the stolen goods were returned to their rightful owners but police still have some unclaimed items - specifically large truck radiators. Anyone who thinks they may be a victim should call Waco PD at (254) 750-7500.

Great Bose sounding speaker (if you like Bose sound)
by piec2 on November 10, 2012
Pros: Great Bose sound with impressive bass for a unit this size
Can create its own wifi hotspot
Battery available, so you can use it unplugged
User replaceable battery (unlike the Pioneer A3)
Cons: Somewhat expensive
You have to pay extra to get the battery
Only does Airplay and wireless direct (no HTC Connect support)
I didn't like the Bose mid-range boost
Summary: I wanted to check the state of some new Airplay speakers, so I decided to compare a few of them, namely the:
- Bose SoundLink Air
- Pioneer A4 XW-SMA4-K...
Summary: I wanted to check the state of some new Airplay speakers, so I decided to compare a few of them, namely the:
- Bose SoundLink Air
- Pioneer A4 XW-SMA4-K
- Pioneer A3 XW-SMA3-K
- Logitech Wireless Boombox
Right off the bat, you can notice that the Logitech unit is in a different category. It's much less expensive (1/3 the price) and uses bluetooth rather than Wi-fi. However since it received great reviews online, I decided to compare it as well. I'm glad I did (read on!).
First of all, let's talk about what's common here.
When using a bluetooth speaker (the Logitech here is the only one), you get instantaneous response when you change track, change the volume, press play or stop: that's the beauty of using bluetooth. Also, apparently bluetooth has less bandwidth than wi-fi, so it compresses the music before sending it to the speaker. However in real usage, I could never tell the difference. If you are a real music expert and have an very good musical ear, maybe you can hear it but I certainly could not. All the music I played sounded great whether I played it on the bluetooth Logitech or on the other Airplay speakers.
Using Airplay, you will encounter a delay when you try to control the music. It's around 1 to 2 seconds before any action on your iPod/iPhone will take effect on the speaker (except for Stop and volume changes which are almost instantaneous but not quite). This delay will also occur when you skip songs (something I hate) however it does not occur if your let your playlist continue and your iPod is simply going on from one song to the next. This means if you are throwing a party and try to skip a tune, you will get silence for 2 seconds.
All three Airplay units have about the same wi-fi hotspot power level, so you can expect the same range as a typical wi-fi 2.4 Ghz router you may have in your home today. You may also encounter the same interference problems as your regular wifi.
All Pioneer and Bose speakers have remotes, which I did not use. I figure everyone will control these units via their iPod/iPhone/iPad or other devices anyway. None of the units have any mute button on the speaker themselves. Only the Bose unit has a mute button on the remove (Pioneer doesn't have any).
Bose Soundlink Air
This is my first time with a Bose speaker or sound system, however I had the opportunity to listen to their SoundDock in the past while at a friend's house. I was always impressed with the SoundDock ability to have good bass. I had read on the web about the 'Bose sound' but never got to compare it with other speakers head-on, so this proved interesting.
Let's start by the exterior. The unit looks good and actually has a cleaner look than the Pioneer (that's a matter of personal taste).
The power brick is enormous. When plugged vertically, it won't block your second outlet however if you have to plug it in a power bar where the connector are oriented horizontally then be ready to lose 2 outlets. I really wonder why Bose chose this format since there's absolutely no advantages.
The back of the unit has the AUX input, the power input and a micro-usb port used to configure the unit via your computer. On the bottom of the unit you also find a Reset button. The placement of this button is inconvenient since it's also used to set the unit in wireless direct mode (hotspot) but since you won't be doing this very often, it's not too bothersome.
The a cover in the center on the back of the unit that can be removed to attach a battery (sold separately, unfortunately).
The side of the unit has volumes up/down capacitive buttons (no tactile feedback). There's no power button on the device: only volume up/down.
There's also no network port in the back, so you cannot connect it directly to your wired network at home, unlike the Pioneer one.
Configuring the unit must be done using an application you download from the Bose site and you must use your computer. I had no problem configuring it to use my wi-fi network which uses WPA2-Personal and doesn't broadcast its SSID. You can also edit the network name of the device during the setup.
You can set the unit use wireless direct (hotspot): simply unplug it, re-plug it and hold the 'Reset' button underneath the unit for 2 seconds until the indicator in the front turns amber. After a few seconds, the unit emits a tone and it can now be see as a new wireless network called (Bose Soundlink Air). Once you join that network, you can AirPlay to it. The wireless direct connection worked fine just as the one with my own wi-fi network (couldn't see any difference).
The unit is always on (always visible on your iPod) you simply press play on your iPod and it streams.
It only uses Airplay however, so if you have an Android device this speaker won't work (unless there's some Android app to simulate Airplay: I don't know).
If you have used a Bose Sounddock or other Bose speakers in the past, you will feel right at home. If you never used Bose speakers, you will notice the same thing I notice: Bose sound processing. Overall, the speaker sound good (better than the Pioneer A3) and there's good bass. It's even surprising to hear that bass from such a small unit. The mid-range however is a different story. Bose seems to use some processing that pushes the mid-range slightly forward and makes them more present. This sounds impressive initially and if you like the 'Bose sound' you will like this speaker as well. I personally found it tiring after a while because the mid-range and highs were too present. After listening to it for an hour I found myself going back to either the Logitech or the A4.
Don't get me wrong, this is far from a poor sounding speaker. Adele's song 'Rolling in the deep' sounded good, although it didn't have the oompfs that the A4 had because of its subwoofer. If you plan on buying this unit but never had a Bose before, I suggest you try it over several songs (10-15 mins) to see if you like the color that Bose gives to their speakers.
When controlling the volume from your iPod, the volume control was very really linear, no problem here unlike the Pioneer units.
I didn't get to try the battery. However I couldn't help but notice that it was expensive ($90!). This means that once you add the battery to this unit, you have a system that's close to $450.
Overall, I found the Bose SoundLink Air to be really good but didn't like the mid-range being too present. This was my second favorite speaker of the bunch.
For comparison with the others, see my other speakers reviews!

Shelby County Sheriff's deputies and the district attorney's office raided Blu Restaurant and Grill Tuesday evening in Southeast Memphis because the place has been a magnet for crime, drugs, and violence.
Narcotics Unit deputies entered the restaurant and bar, located at 3895 Hacks Cross Road, shortly after 9 p.m., and within an hour the restaurant was closed permanently.
The closure was the result of petition filed by District Attorney General Weirich. An injunction was issued by Shelby County Environmental Court Judge Larry Potter and served on the bar.
"Much of the illegal activity inside this business was committed by employees at this location," said DA General Weirich said in a news release. "This cannot be tolerated. The business' owner and its employees should be held to account."
No one was taken into custody in the shocking night raid, though they are looking at several employees and restaurant patrons.
At least 50 deputies from the sheriff's office and district attorney's office conducted the raid.
The district attorney's office said cocaine, marijuana and ecstasy have exchanged hands in full view of the restaurant's management. Most of the illegal transactions were done by employees like the bathroom attendant, a security guard, and the DJ.
"These types of incidents will not be tolerated and we will continue to diligently work with the DAG's Office to make sure that those who violate the law will be dealt with in a swift and decisive manner," said Sheriff Bill Oldham.
The DA said they have received at least 74 complaints since January 2012 about the illegal activity inside and outside the restaurant.
During that same period, there have been 28 offense reports originating at Blu. Reports include robbery, aggravated assaults, drug use, domestic assault and DUI. Officers have responded to multiple fights inside and outside of the business, as well as complaints of quarreling, employee theft and burglary in the immediate area of the business.
Six weeks before Tuesday evening's raid, the district attorney and sheriff used a confidential informant to try and find out what was taking place at Blu.
In the past six weeks there were at least nine illegal drug sales that took place inside or outside in the parking lot at Blu.
The Hacks Cross restaurant is registered in the name of MPJ Investments and bills were paid by a man named John Edwards.
Edwards was ordered to appear for a hearing on April 1 in General Sessions Division XIV to respond.
Tennessee's nuisance law states that the District Attorney General has authority to bring a civil action against any establishment deemed a nuisance. The statute defines a nuisance, in part, as "any place in or upon which… unlawful sale of any regulated legend drug, narcotic or other controlled substance ... quarrelling, drunkenness, fighting, or breaches of the peace are carried on or permitted."

Rear flasher installation, new to me.
Just thought that I would share a couple fo photos of the "new" rear flasher for my Cub. I know that they did not start to appear until the mid-60's and that my Cub is a '52, so lets just call this an IH anachronism.
I was able to procure a complete rear flasher set-up from rterry (thanks again) and then just needed to get a couple of other items squared away before installation. I did not want to add any extra holes to the original sheetmetal on the Cub so I was able to find a junkyard fender and dash panel at the outrageous price of $2 each.
Once I got the positions laid-out for the mounting holes for the bracket and the new on/off switch in the dash, I thought that this would also be a good time to move the oil pressure gauge up to the dash, so I could actually see it. After all that was done I dropped the parts (plus a few others) off at the powdercoater, I think they turned out well.
A littel bit of wiring and some plumbing for the new oil pressure gauge and installation was a snap. The clips that you see on the bracket that are holding the wire in place are some wiring harness clips from a Ford Model A, they hold the harness to the frame rail on the Model A, but work equally well here. I also put in a bullet-end connector at this point should the need arise to take off the light and bracket. The two wires that you see above on the left side of the dash are for the horn. All-in-all everything turned out pretty well and the light is a lot brighter than you would think (6 volt).
Where you are, right now, is of absolutly no use unless you are able to get away from it, FAST!
Re: Rear flasher installation, new to me.
Nice horn, post a video of your options while they are working.
Re: Rear flasher installation, new to me.
I can't identify what's on the right side of your Cub, but it looks like you might joust with it. Nice job on the installation.

we need to think differently."

Re: Rear flasher installation, new to me.
That is a mid-30's Delco-Remy horn, with a 44oz trumpet extension. A 44oz foam drink cup fits inside the bell/trumpet of the horn and increases the volume of the horn, I know it may sound silly, but it works.

Re: Rear flasher installation, new to me.
Interesting! I like the flasher idea, I was thinking of doing that but normally I don't have my Cub on the road after dark (like never). I might make one anyway because you never know. Nice job on the pressure gauge too. Where did you get the wire cover/insulation stuff, it looks like oem Cub material, from your model A too?
I think so too. Looks good.

Re: Rear flasher installation, new to me.
Very nice. Same comments/questions on the wiring covering. I like it better than the plastic stuff you buy. Also, is that Delco-Remy Horn an "oogah" style horn? I would love to have one of those. Now the search begins.
Re: Rear flasher installation, new to me.
For original electrical/wiring supplies I have always ordered from Rhode Island Wiring (riwire.com). The loom that is covering the wires is their non-metallic autoloom, it comes in a wide variety of diameters, just remember that you have to put the terminals on after you put the loom on. I also covered the tubing for the oil pressure gauge with the autoloom. They also offer a very wide selection of terminal ends (all electro-tinned, crimp and solder), connectors, fuse holders and just about anything else you may need if you are doing any type of period or restoration work. Although you can't see it in the photos, the wiring is cloth covered 12ga, black with a double yellow cross tracer. All of their wire is vinyl coated then has the cloth cover woven over it. In the one photo you can see the added ground cable going to the shifter, that is 00ga battery cable with the woven cloth covering as well. The bakelite bullet-end connector on the bracket was also supplied by riwire, they were also able to supply me with a new contact button and insulator for the lamp socket. I have been buying from them for years, modern vinyl wire and modern connectors on older equipment always bugs me.
The horn is a regular single tone Delco-Remy. You can pick up original non-working "ahooga" horns for not too much, and they are not that hard to fix. Don't be shocked if you try to buy a reproduction one though, last time I checked they were closing in on $300. They do make the reproduction horns in both 6 and 12 volt. The Delco-Remy that you see in the photo I got at a swap meet for $10, who can pass up a $10 horn, I know that I can't.
Where you are, right now, is of absolutly no use unless you are able to get away from it, FAST!

Breastfeeding Support from MightyNest
03.30.10 Breastfeeding Support from MightyNest
Being a new mom takes every inch of your energy, love, time, and body! During this beautiful, emotion, and often challenging time, mamas need some support. And to do that, MightyNest carries some fine products to help you breastfeed in a comfortable and green way. Breastfeeding is inherently green-- no waste, bottles, powder, or packaging. I felt so useful (I was all they needed!). That is pretty empowering, when you think about it.
While the health benefits of breastfeeding are widely known and supported, every woman is different and can have different needs and challenges while breastfeeding an infant and toddler. Here's a review of the products that MightyNest carries to support you mamas in your beautiful breastfeeding.
Organic Cotton Nursing Pads: These are essential gear for a nursing mama. You'll soon see how many you need, it depends on your milk supply and the frequency of nursing sessions. A set or two is a good start for organic cotton goodness that will keep you and your clothes nice and dry.
Natural Nipple Butter from Earth Mama Angel Baby: Breastfeeding can be painful, especially at first. This cream from the beloved company Earth Mama Angel Baby will help heal dry, cracked skin and is safe for baby. Don't worry, it WILL get easier, I promise!
Booby Tubes: Okay, the name cracks me up, but that is what they are! I wish Earth Mama Angel Baby had these when I was breastfeeding. They are: "a natural, safe, gel-free breast pack made with a 100% organic cotton shell and filled with all-natural flax seed. Use warm or cold, depending on your nursing needs." And believe me, sometimes nursing mamas have needs!
And I think every new mama and baby deserves an Angel Baby Kit for birthing, loving, healing and caring.
