Cannot enable smooth mouse scroll in Windows Explorer Navigation Pane
Not sure if this is due to my hardware or some setting in Windows 7. I have Win 7 Pro x64 on a Sony Vaio ZPCZ11. Using the MS Natural Wireless Laser Mouse 7000. In the file view of Windows File Explorer, if I click in the space and wheel scroll, everything works fine and the scrolling is smooth. But when I click in the Navigation Pane (Folder List) and try the same thing, it wants to scroll an entire page at a time. I cannot get the smooth mouse scrolling to work in this Pane! Any ideas how to fix this?
|My System Specs
|22 Sep 2010
Well, if anyone cares, it appears that my scroll rate was set too high...even though it works well in certain apps and areas, it just goes too far in Windows Explorer. Set to a lower rate, it scrolls in the Nav Pane normally.

Mike Jackson is slated to be approved as the speaker pro tem, while House Democrats are expected to retain Del City Rep. Scott Inman as their minority leader.
On the Senate side, Sapulpa Republican Sen. Brian Bingman is scheduled to be voted into another term as Senate president pro tem, while Claremore Democratic Sen. Sean Burrage is set to serve again as Senate minority leader.

David Brain, President & CEO of Edelman PR, created a stir on his SixtySecondView blog when he published this "Social Media Index"; an attempt to measure the influence and footprint of various marketers and their blogs. Lo and behold, GrokDotCom made the list of Top 30 blogs.
It's OK, you can hold the applause. We did.
Sure, it's flattering to be on any list that suggests you're a top blog, but what does this say about influence? Things get more dubious once channels like Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn are used to assess influence.
Here's what David Brain had to say:
When people talked about on-line influence in the past they were often referring to bloggers and Technorati scores, though obviously influence was always more complicated than that. But now with the increasing mass adoption of Twitter and Facebook and favourites listings like Digg and Del.icio.us things have moved on. Bloggers Twitter and Facebookers Dig. Many of us are multi-platform users and so our online 'footprint' is much more dispersed.
Hmm… Is "dispersed" naturally better, even for PR folk like Steve Rubel, an Edelman SVP whose Micro Persuasion blog ranked #5 on Edelman's "Top Blogs" list and #1 on its "Social Media Index"? And why should bloggers who don't use Twitter, Facebook, or LinkedIn to engage readers care about Edelman's index? Such measures are worthless in the case of influential multi-author blogs like SearchEngineLand or TechCrunch, where individual self-promotion tactics — e.g., hosting a Twitter widget, or linking to one's Facebook account — would be irrelevant to readers. Of course, Rubel & company thinks these tactics are influential.
So, do we really need a blog-ranking index to account for Twitter activity between Rubel and Robert Scoble? Isn't it enough they're bombarding some 5,900 "followers" — as Rubel phrases it — with micro-minutia? You mean that's "social media," not plain-old broadcasting?
I asked Jeffrey what he thought about Twitter being used to measure influence, knowing full-well I'd get something like this:
…Twitter's about as important as a pimple on a mole on an elephant's a$$ in the real world. Marketers, without exception, overestimate their importance to their audience. It's an occupational hazard. Early adopters are even worse. Blogging is important, but not truly mainstream yet. The Wall Street Journal, which has no social networking, is still more influential than Boing Boing. We all need to get over it.
Some might disagree, but there isn't much life in Edelman's index. That being said, it is interesting, if not problematic. They've simply taken a list with questionable value and filtered it through the lens which most interests them — and that's fine. But what of other influential media channels like newsletters, forums, or books? How could Twitter activity be a greater measure of influence than something as concrete as book sales?
Everyone loves lists. We love lists. Sometimes we agree with Steve. Sometimes we don't. He's an opinionated guy, and we respect that, but is Rubel's Web 2.0 platform more influential than Seth Godin's blog and book platform? In the "twitterverse," perhaps. In the world where people take money out of their wallets to pay for ideas, no.
Edelman thinks he is.
I have really enjoyed your top 30 blog list. I love lists too, create one every now and then on my blog.
Wait until all these social media sites find out their ad space is worth virtually nothing in terms of generating awareness or clicks – what will they do then? Would you be a-Twitter about paying $14.95 a month just to know what a random group of people is "doing right now"?
At the same time, we have people running away from measuring the "value" of all this social activity – you know, human behavior is complex and can't really be measured. The value of Twitter is in "engagement" and of course we can't measure that…so I guess we'll just count hits?
Personally, I'm pretty sure the more enagaged someone is the LESS effective the advertising will be…think about it. So that means advertising on social media sites will be the lowest return activity since advertising on GeoCities.
Wait a minute…wasn't GeoCities essentially social media?
EXCELLENT article, Robert. DEAD ON. And LOVE Jeffrey's statements about marketing's "occupational hazard" of overestimating our own importance to our audience. Now THAT is a book idea (though I'm not sure who would want to read it– further evidence of the uncomfortable truth in the statement…).
Also excellent points by Jim. As a founding team member of MyFamily.com/Ancestry.com, one of the web's early HIGH TRAFFIC (fastest growing site of 1999) and yet supposedly STICKIEST sites (top five in terms of frequency, length of stay and other such metrics), I can attest that advertising and engagement are almost universally inversely-related.
And even more sobering is that while "engagement" may consist of multiple "micro conversions," that doesn't in any way guarantee the "final" conversion, where people take out their wallets and choose to buy your product/service rather than bread and milk. Whether you fumble mid-field or 1 yard from your opponent's goal line, you still lose the ball and don't put up any points.
Again, having been on the roster of "Team CMGI" during those bubble years, saw it first hand and have INCREDIBLE war stories…hey, maybe I should write a book! Any of you marketers out there want to read it?
One other quick comment (as if…)
Again, thinking about Jeffrey's comment about the self-congratulatory nature of the "marketing community," I realized that's another reason I wasn't that crazy about the "Three Little Pigs/Blogs" story that everyone was so enamoured with a few days ago.
While self-examination is critical and mature, self-absorption is counterproductive and naive.

But there amidst the poverty, where boozy squatters have built lean-tos of discarded scrap wood, stones and plastic and the garbage stench is overpowering, Lisa is the star of a magazine photo session. She`s quite out of uniform in her full-length, cardinal red unitard, black bikini bottoms, black fingerless gloves, red and black Nike high-tops, hair gel and 30 minutes worth of makeup.

GRAND JUNCTION,Colo. Local disabled veterans are in need of help and the Grand Junction VA Medical Center is looking for new drivers to take these vets to their medical appointments.
Both the Grand Junction VA and the Montrose Outpatient Center are looking for new drivers for the Disable American Veterans Association.
VA Spokesperson Paul Sweeny said without these drivers many disabled vets would be forced to find their own transportation.
"The drivers know the routes, and for folks that have a lot appointments it's just more convenient because it's something that is familiar and they don't have to wait on a taxi," said Sweeny.
Drivers have flexible schedules and to become a DAV driver all you have to do is complete a background check, have a clean driving record, and pass a physical.
Between the two facilities they are hoping to get 10 to 12 new volunteers, if you are interested in being a driver call the VA Medical Center's Volunteer line at 970-244-1336 to find out more.

- OverpricedOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 11/22/2014We had the tasting menu with wine pairing. The waiter mumbled and walked away as he was talking. The food was sour tasting or salty or both and the wines were not properly decanted and did not complement the food. The hotel itself was lovely. Great jazz in the lounge and we were sent back to our hotel in a private complimentary car, but the dining experience was not what we had hoped.
- MagnificentclubrVIPDined on 11/21/2014My guest and I enjoyed the three course tasting menu w/wine pairing. With numerous selection in each course we selected different items for our samplings. From the Sashimi of Hamachi and Ahi Tuna to the Seared Octopus and Devil's Gulch Rabit Porchetta, each course was expertly served and dramatically presented. The pear dessert was decadent topper to a wonderful evening.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fabulous ... I could give them 6 StarsZiegsDined on 11/21/2014Had the 3-course (4, really) fixed price meal with wine pairings. Chef Michael's creations were both as adventurous and exciting as they were delicious. The somellier was extremely knowledgable and paired wines that not only complimented the flavour and intensity of the food, but also catapulted the experience from 5-star to 6 or 7! An amazing place --- don't let the fact it's in a hotel put you off ... By comparison to many other places we have been in the City, it was head and shoulders above them. The best of my three courses was the 2nd --- a red wine linguine with Dungeness crab paired with an Italian (Piedmont) Barbera. And for those who don't normally consider the wine pairings (I would prefer to pick my own, too), my advice is --- Don't!! With the pairings, you still get great sized pours with perfect sized portions of food (unless you're playing for the 49ers) that will fill you up nicely by the time the Chef's chosen dessert (with dessert wine) lands on the table. We will be back again. It was a definite gem of a find; with outstanding food and drink experience coupled with an excellent staff (Thanks, too, to Carl, our waiter and to Molly at front of house for being so friendly and accommodating).Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Mixed bag of nutsBradTheManDined on 11/13/2014Restaurant is embedded in the Ritz Carlton.sat at the bar for a late night dinner. Bartender was great and service was excellent. Decore was nice but not necessarily cozy or romantic.On the plus side with the drinks, wine selection, and outstanding gourmet burgers. Yummy. The big negative was the hammach appetizer. Tasted off. Not much there. Special sauces weren't so special-and expensive. You'd send back at any neighborhood sushi restaurant. Overall, I would never eat there if I had the opportunity to make reservations somewhere else in the city-but for a late night snack and a drink it's fine. One last comment-couldn't be more impressed with the service and staff. They were great.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great foodTomsDined on 11/8/2014Excellent flavors and presentation, very good service. Fairly loud ambiance.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A good choice for diningparellelDined on 11/8/2014I hadn't been to the Ritz Carlton for dinner in over 10 years so was surprised to see this new restaurant in the place of the previous one. It was traditionally luxe and had the food to match including a cheese course served from a glass cheese cart. Today, the space is has a 'modern retro' look which belies the seriousness of the food. Nice chef touches and surprises and the food can be very inventive but not overly gimmicky to my relief. I liked every course and the ingredients were obviously fresh. I do wish some of the portions were bigger! Dessert was included and I appreciated that - and a different one was given to each person in my party. Overall a very enjoyable experience and I may be back next time for the tasting courses.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fine Food, But Not Fine ServicePrincetonNJVIPDined on 11/8/2014Parallel 37 is in the Ritz Carlton, which wasn't mentioned in OpenTable and which is annoying since I usually avoid hotel restaurants. The space looks like a West Elm: Too bright and uninspired. After days of multi-course SF tastings, I opted for three main menu selections: a soup, followed by a fish and then lamb. The courses were interesting, inventive, well-presented and tasty. There were the usual "chef wants you to have" items. Chocolate dessert was great. My main complaint: the staff was not well-trained and not polished, in either language or action. For instance, I was called "buddy." And a runner paced nearby to remove a course and nearly took it with several bites left. I don't like to be rushed.ne evening.
- Excellent Food Excellent ServiceJerriettesVIPDined on 11/1/2014My husband and I were so impressed by this restaurant, he wanted to go back the next night! It is the perfect place if you are a foodie, but don't want to stomach the whole starched napkin, 3 hour stuffy dinner experience. This was a contemporary, but warm atmosphere with beyond excellent service!! We had a beautiful 6 course meal with wine pairings in less than 2 hours. It was perfect! We will go back again and again. They did have a private room, too.Special Features:
- Good food & serviceSausalitoDinerVIPDined on 11/1/2014We had now huge expectations it was nice that the menu offers 3 courses or 5 or 8. All good options with a good selection of innovative options. The squid ink pasta with the quail egg was a highlight. Service.was easy and appropriate all at a good price point. We had the wine pairings which were great.I would recommend this to a friend.

- OutstandingRobbieDined on 10/23/2014A quite superb 3 course menu which transpired to be a six courser with an amuse bouche and 2 desserts included with no extra charge. The quality was outstanding, each course being a a beautiful and subtle combination of flavours and textures - and all for $65. The 3 accompanying wines complimented the food beautifully and again an extra sweet wine was served with our dessert. The service was immaculate and friendly. What more can I say - outstanding!Special Features:

- Understated GemOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 10/3/2014We had a terrific meal in a wonderfully comfortable environment. Service was understated and well-informed. We had the five-course tasting menu and it was a perfect combination of styles, ingredients and portions. We were celebrating our anniversary (which I'd noted when making our initial reservation) and we were presented with a special dessert commemorating it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- maryeatsDined on 9/26/2014Food was fine and the special little chef surprises were great (a sorbet & dessert bite) The restaurant was very empty...6:30 on a Friday night. Hostess was excellent...
- Lovely, romantic, deliciousOpenTable Diner Since 2002VIPDined on 9/21/2014It's rare to find a "hotel restaurant" that is remarkable. Parallel 37 is the exception. The food was a 10 out of 10; service was informed and elegant; presentations were artistic, creative and refined. We will definitely dine there again.Special Features:
- Great ExperienceDSCFoodieVIPDined on 9/20/2014Selected Parallel 37 at random, had read about it. Went with my wife. We had the 5 course tasting menu with wine pairing. Everything was spot on and paired wine was excellent. Specifically enjoyed a 'barnacle' dish and the duck. Service was on par with the food. Will definitely go back. Both of us had a cocktail before the dinner and were very happy with our selection.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- 37 get 100%OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 9/20/2014The best food I've had in years! The service incredible! The ambiance 1st class!Special Features:
- PerfectionwonderfulDined on 9/19/2014Wife and I celebrated our 20th here. One of the best meals of my life. We each had the five course tasting menu (it was more like 7 courses because it included a starter and a melon sorbet palate cleanser). Each dish was perfectly cooked, interesting, beautiful to look at, and delicious. Service was impeccable. The highlight was the duck, which was the best duck either of us have ever had. Truly a memorable meal.Special Features:
- Interesting Selection, great fooddavidtherockDined on 9/11/2014Fantastic food, great mix of flavors. I wish I had the time for the tasting menu as it looked absolutely amazing. I did get to try three great courses and each was fantastic. I had Crispy Octopus, Rabbit and California Lamb and nothing was disappointing. The service was attentive without being too fussy and I felt very well taken care of. Side note about the location: As an out-of-towner I did not know that a tunnel went beneath where the restaurant was and thinking I could just walk there without directions went entirely under the place. If you aren't familiar, just make sure to go up the stairs.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food without the servicemichaelsfoodDined on 9/11/2014Came here for our 10th anniversary. My wife has hosted business event at the hotel so we thought we'd try the restaurant. Had a drink before hand at the lovely bar. The good service ended there. Our waiter was not only unprofessional - he was absent most of our dinner despite the restaurant being practically empty. Our food was more often served by the bread server who couldn't tell us anything about our dish. Of course, our waiter began showing up around desert and check time. The 1st and 2nd courses were great but the main courses were extremely small. My wife was satisfied with her Halibut, but my "rib eye" was bascically 3 small bites of meat. Desert was very good.
- Beautiful, elegant and deliciousdisappointingVIPDined on 9/11/2014I did not know that this is inside Ritz Carlton (my favorite) nearby. It is not just steak house as the 3 course menu (very reasonable) can be ordered by your likings (but do not forget to include the steak! Yummy) Service as typical as in Ritz is impeccable and quality at par.Special Features:
- Excellent at a reasonable priceDrMDKDined on 9/11/2014We had early reservations because we wanted to attend a show so were first in. As the restaurant filled, guests were quiet and more staff appeared. Service was first class and food was just fabulous. Combinations that I had not seen before that the chef likely tasted and determined that they did, in fact, go together. It was our anniversary and they asked on the way in. Prepared a special dessert treat that was unexpected and delightful.Special Features:
- Dr. Joseph RobbMichaelDined on 9/9/2014Have been in SF for four days now and the best dinner we have had was at Parallel 37. The food and presentation reminds me of Gordan Ramsey's NYC restaurant in the London Hotel in NYC, though ambiance was not close. I expect I wlil book a table there again tomorrow night. Service was very good.Special Features:
- Perfection!YummyDined on 9/5/2014This was a stellar experience for my dh birthday. Zach was phenomenal and the rest of the staff was phenomenal. Not enough adjectives to describe this culinary experience, also thank you to Alex the concierge at the Ritz for recommending this wonderful place. Every course better than the next and the wine pairings were spot on, thank you Parallel 37'Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Recommend!AngieinSFDined on 9/2/2014Delicious prix fix menu- all courses cooked perfectly. Solid wine list. Not best ambiance bc it's a hotel restaurant but great service. Brought hubby here for 40 something birthday.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Our yummy little secret!SFfoodieVIPDined on 8/24/2014This restaurant is our yummy little secret. We seem to have no problem getting a table; the restaurant is quiet enough to hold wonderful conversations in, the food is spectacular and the staff is wonderful. It's like SPQR without the hassle! What's not to like?Special Features:
- A really lovely meallaurelrose11Dined on 8/20/2014We did the 5-course tasting menu. It was really quite good. We had lovely trio of amuse-bouches, and 5 filling courses. The quantity was just right. This particular night, it seemed a bit heavy on cabbage flavors, with cabbage being in several of the courses in one way or another. Overall, a really great experience that my friend and I both enjoyed.Special Features:
- Best meal in SF!OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/14/2014My husband and I had a fantastic meal! We each had the three course prix fixe meal paired with wine. We were wowed with each course and the wines were paired beautifully! We had asked for a slow paced meal and this request was honored wonderfully! Each course was plated beautifully and the taste was exquisite! We ate at many highly rated restaurants in SFand this was by far the best!
- Parallel 37: MemorableMargotDined on 8/9/2014After moving from Sydney Australia, I have to admit our expectations of hotel food were low. Particularly coming from a city with world class food, we were pleasantly surprised with Parallel 37. The innovative presentation and flavours were comparable with Sydney's best 3 hat restaurants, in fact, it was as good as "Sepia" (Australia's Restaurant of the Year 2014). The sommelier demonstrated expertise in recommending matching wines for our chosen courses and the overall experience was memorable.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DinnerPoodleDined on 8/2/2014Fantastic food wine service in a Beatiful decor !!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great night in SFEastcoastfoodiesDined on 8/2/2014We had a wonderful time at parallel the staff was friendly and very passionate about there food and wine, and we soon found out why. The wine pairings were great and the food was amazing the chefs asian twist on traditional meals was a work of art from sashimi style amuse bouche to farm fresh quail with parsnip pure.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Beautiful venue really good food.pamnessVIPDined on 8/1/2014We visited Parallel 37 without knowing much about it. I didn't even realize it was in the Ritz Carlton. Visually the restaurant was lovely, a mix of flowers, wood and a hint of luxury. The food was really good, not amazing (with the exception of the duck), but really really good. We picked the three course option and enjoyed it very much. The service was a little slow, but the atmosphere was so nice it didn't matter too much. It is expensive, but I will go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The following 366 reviews are from the Parallel 37 reviews archive.
- Fantastic Fabulous FlavorsDeliciousandNutritiousVIPDined on 7/29/2014Each dish uses such a creative combination of ingredients. There are lots of ingredients, but each one tastes so fresh, delicious and distinctive, and yet together they are just wonderful. We had the three course meal the first time we came, and this time we had the five course meal. The transition from one dish to the next was just right. It was a very leisurely evening with good friends but before we knew it, we were having dessert!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Haute CuisineIanMDined on 7/23/2014Very creative food and presentation, and very expensive. Portions are small, so don't go here for a hearty meal. Quality of meat (lamb and beef in our party's case) was, we all agreed, exceptional. I would have liked just one plain thing to offset the richness of the meal, perhaps a real, ordinary bread roll! Wine list is expensive too, take the wine pairings with the meal instead.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Only a great chef can prepare theseDeliciousandNutritiousVIPDined on 7/18/2014I wasn't expecting to like Parallel 37 as I don't like the current trend toward so casual, focus on drinks but the dishes we had were just spectacular. The chef chooses some very unusual combinations but the results are amazing. I didn't want to leave a single bit on my plate! The bouillabaisse arrived "dry" - just the pieces of seafood, then the server poured the broth into the bowl, and each spoonful was so delicious. All the combinations worked so well, no one ingredient overpowering the others, but each contributing to the wonderfully complex flavor of the dish. We had the three course dinner, to which the chef added dessert. We're going back next week to try the 5 course dinner!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Meal, Great ServiceOpenTable Diner Since 2012VIPDined on 7/12/2014My wife and I went here for a meal for our wedding anniversary. The staff were excellent, and it seemed that everyone of them had been briefed it was our anniversary and they took excellent care of us. We had the 5-course tasting menu with wine pairings. The food was outstanding and the wine choices were an excellent compliment to the dishes. Everything was fresh, seasonal and very contemporary. I was a little concerned about going to a hotel restaurant, but it still had a very upmarket vibe. Occasional hotel guest with some spoilt / noisy kids did not take away from a great dining experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice, can be betterOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 7/12/20145 stars hotel but not 5 stars restaurant. Food is fine, environment is fine, but no view, view taken by the bar on the other side, seem like just a breakfast place at the back of the hotel. May be I have high expectation.Special Features:

The Pierre, located on Lopez Island, Wash., was "conceived as a retreat nestled into the rock." A quick glance gives the impression that the house is literally melded with the outcropping that first drew the owner to the site. Reminiscent of Frank Lloyd Wright's decision to build Fallingwater upon that waterfall in Bear Run, Penn., Kundig's similar tactic unites the house with the rock.
But nestling a house into a large outcropping of rock is not easy. Dynamite was one of the many tools needed to excavate and smooth the rock.
But nestling a house into a large outcropping of rock is not easy. Dynamite was one of the many tools needed to excavate and smooth the rock.
The rock's presence continues to be felt inside the home. Excavated portions of the rock were used as an aggregrate for the concrete floors, so they are literally made from the very rock on which the house sits. In addition, a powder room is carved from the portion of the rock outcropping seen in the foreground of this photo. The curving room is capped by a cylindrical skylight drilled through the rock.
The layout of the house is quite simple, an L-shape with the bedrooms in the short leg and the living area occupying the long leg. The linear living area, shown here, runs along the concrete wall seen in the previous photo. We also see another element that roots the building in the landscape: a substantial green roof caps the house.
When designing this house in Montecito, Calif., in Santa Barbara County north of Los Angeles, Kundig designed for a different climate and context.
The fire-prone nature of the canyon site led the architect to choose fire-resistant concrete, steel and glass for the exterior. The steel was left to oxidize, giving the building a burnt appearance that lets it blend into its surroundings.
The fire-prone nature of the canyon site led the architect to choose fire-resistant concrete, steel and glass for the exterior. The steel was left to oxidize, giving the building a burnt appearance that lets it blend into its surroundings.
Because the house overlooks the Pacific Ocean with views toward the Channel Islands, the south facade is all glass, shaded by a large overhang and operable perforated shutters (the large boxes mounted to the top of the columns house the mechanics). These shutters also protect the house in case of wildfires.
The 100-foot-long corridor that begins at the front door culminates in the glass box shown here and in the previous photo. The expansive stretch of glass, with its resulting views, provides a clear directionality for the house, which is then further reinforced by the roof's dynamic shape.
The entrance corridor is designed to funnel breezes into the house. To encourage this, the front door is an oversize dutch door, activated and calibrated by a system of locks, gears and chains. This is one example of how Kundig turns the house into a machine. The monumental size of the door necessitates a mechanical system layered over the house's walls and other surfaces.
A doorway from a live/work project in Spain is another example of how Kundig makes kinetic parts of a house even more special by confounding expectations about how they work. A tall steel pivot door is inset with a pilot door, allowing for varying degrees of openness between the indoor and outdoor spaces. It also recalls the grand doors with smaller inset doors that can be found in church architecture.
Another live/work studio, this time in Idaho, sees Kundig demarcating a long rectangle on the expansive site to create both indoor and outdoor spaces. The enclosed indoor portion occupies about a quarter of the rectangle and is placed at the northern end so the resulting courtyard receives plenty of sunlight.
Built primarily of cinder blocks (CMUs), the main living area is lifted to roughly the height of the courtyard walls and is accessed via the stair seen in the center of this photo, which is also the center of the plan. This design lifts this space above the winter snowpack and is a clear indication of how Kundig creatively responds to climate (remember the funneled breezes of the Montecito residence).
The north elevation is more closed-off than the other faces, but it does include a small balcony (the secondary entrance when the snowpack is high?).
The inside is basically an open living area with a mezzanine for the bedroom above; the studio/office and utility room is downstairs. The book's description memorably describes it as "a Tootsie Roll Pop: hard on the outside and soft on the inside."
The last three projects featured here show the kinetic aspects of Kundig's houses that help make his designs so unique. Shadowboxx is also located on Lopez Island in Washington State, but unlike the first house discussed here, its site is a clearing in trees instead of an outcropping. "Shifting doors, shutters, walls, and roofs constantly modulate the threshold between inside and outside," a concept that is readily apparent in the varying angles of the exterior walls here.
In the closed position, the corrugated steel walls — rusty like the roof and other walls — shut off the house from its surroundings. Though an unlikely situation when the house is occupied, this nevertheless allows it to be protected from the elements when needed.
In between completely closed and completely open is the "variable" option: the degree of openness can be varied by adjusting the positions of three wall panels underneath the large overhanging roof as well as those of the sliding panels around the corner.
In the open position, inside and outside are closer to being fused— an effect that is furthered when the sliding glass walls are opened as well. The open position takes advantage of views towards the sea and the Olympic Mountains beyond.
On San Juan Island in Washington State is the False Bay Writer's Cabin, a 500-square-foot glass box that serves as a writer's retreat.
This glass box can also become a wood box. The wood decks on three sides of the cabin lift "through a system of hydraulic winches, wire rope [ visible extending from each corner down to the deck ], pivoting sheaves, and lead blocks."
Kundig asserts, "It is intended to be a shelter of extremes, open or closed."
"In order to feel cold, you have to feel hot; in order to feel safe, you have to feel at risk," he adds.
Kundig notes, "Contrast is the true measure of a complete experience." In its transformation to a closed box, the cabin offers the writer a totally introspective atmosphere as well as a sense of security when he or she is away.
The last examples are the aptly named Rolling Huts, located on a forty-acre floodplain meadow in Mazama, Wash. Due to zoning restrictions that did not allow permanent structures, Kundig designed these huts to be set on wheels to raise them above the native grasses, floodwaters and, in this case, snow.
Seeing one Rolling Hut is interesting; seeing a group of them together is a delight, as if they aren't meant to be alone. Together they "are grouped as a herd," glancing in the same general direction but not at each other.
The exterior of each hut is covered in Kundig's material of choice: weathering steel. This material gives the huts, and all of his houses, a strong year-round presence in their natural surroundings.
A closeup of one of the wheels seems in order. These hefty steel wheels definitely work with the palette of the rest of the design, but their size also indicates the weight of the hut above.
For fans of Tom Kundig's houses, both of the books published by Princeton Architectural Press are must-haves. The first is exemplary for presenting the details of his kinetic designs. The sequel makes it clear that his design skills are consistent across close to 20 projects, regardless of location, scale or size. Houses 2 also includes plenty of interior photos. These prove that Kundig equally excels at crafting interior spaces that are appropriate for each house and client and are as varied as his exteriors are kinetic.

Rural India Web population to reach 45M by end-2012
Summary: Number of Internet users in rural India is expected to surge with community service centers and Internet cafes providing points of access to the World Wide Web.
The number of users in rural India who have accessed the Internet at least once in their lifetime is expected to grow to 45 million by the end of 2012.
According to findings in the I-Cube report released Thursday, the Internet and Mobile Association of India (IAMAI) and IMRB (Indian Market Research Bureau) said the country's rural community currently has 38 million "claimed Internet" users, of which 31 million are active users.
Claimed Internet users have accessed the Web at least once in their lifetime, while active users are online at least once a month.
IAMAI said the penetration of claimed Internet users in rural India is projected to increase at a compound annual growth rate of 73 percent, from 2.6 percent in 2010, to 4.6 percent in 2012. The penetration of active Internet users will grow from 2.13 percent in 2010 to 3.7 percent in 2012, it added.
IAMAI President Subho Ray said: "This is just the tip of the iceberg. In the next two years, a combination of affordable smartphones, optic fiber backbone and local language content is likely to change the beat all projections of Internet growth in rural areas."
In rural India, community service centers and cybercafes are major points of access for Intenret users. According to the report, 57.7 percent of Internet users visit public facilities to access the Internet while 12 percent go online on their mobile phones.
Mobile phones are fast becoming an important Internet access point in India. The number of mobile Internet users in the country grew from 500,000 in 2010 to 3.6 million in June 2012, IAMAI said.

With recent buzz about an upcoming 3-D Hip Hop Weekly swimsuit calendar getting ready to hit stores, SOHH reached out to the publication's co-owner Benzino to get more details.
Zino believes rising popularity of digital technology is forcing print publications to seek new strategies.
"We want to take the magazine game to new heights, to try new things and be creative to bring things back to the print side," Zino told SOHH via a statement from Mays. "Nowadays, with everything going to the computer, you really have to be on your A game, and use your creativity to keep people interested." (SOHH)
An announcement of the upcoming swimsuit calendar was made earlier this week.
Hip Hop Weekly is proud to announce the first ever Flawless Beauties 3-D swimsuit calendar set for release July 20, 2010, and dated August 2010 through July of 2011. The calendar features 12 of the most beautiful and exotic ladies from every ethnicity drawn from every corner of the world dressed in custom made bikinis and bathing suits by FB Legacy. The package comes with a custom pair of 3-D glasses which enhance the experience of the calendar. The calendar's stunning cover girl is Cuban-Lebanese model, Sagia Castaneda. (Hip Hop Press)
Hip Hop Weekly was launched roughly three years ago by Dave Mays and Benzino.
Hip Hop Weekly is the first hip hop oriented magazine to feature weekly breaking news and views about entertainment, TV, music, fashion and sports to consumers aged 15 to 44. Launched in 2007 by David Mays and Raymond "Benzino" Scott, who pioneered the concept of the hip hop magazine by founding The Source in Mays' Harvard dorm room in 1988, Hip Hop Weekly is now the #1 selling hip hop title on newsstands, outselling The Source, Vibe and former industry leader XXL. (Press Release)
Zino is most renowned for launching The Source in 1988.
Along with David Mays, his partner for over 20 years, Benzino is known for being part of the Hip Hop magazine The Source, which was launched in 1988 as a single sheet newsletter out of Mays's Harvard University dorm room. Benzino is also known for being involved in a widely publicized feud with rapper Eminem. (Wikipedia)

Individual counseling helps you to clarify your concerns, gain insight into yourself and others, and learn ways to most effectively cope and/or resolve problems. During your first meetings, a counselor will be attempting to gain an understanding of you and your concerns. Then together, you will set goals for what you would like to accomplish. As counseling progresses, your goals evolve and change.
Counseling makes sense when you are having trouble coping with a stressful situation or solving a personal problem. It offers emotional support, new perspectives and help considering possible solutions. So if you are in a lot of distress, feel overwhelmed by a problem, or feel that you keep repeating the same mistakes, then you might consider seeking counseling.
We invite you to explore the COLLEGE RESPONSE ON-LINE SCREENING FOR MENTAL HEALTH. This free screening is available to all ESU students and is taken anonymously. The screening is provided so that you may find out, in a few minutes, whether or not professional consultation would be helpful to you The screening specifically addresses depression, anxiety, eating disorders and alcohol abuse. Click on the following link for this option: On-Line Mental Health Screening
More specifically, we see students with the following concerns:
Counseling may be of help to you if you....
These are just some of the reasons students come to the Counseling Center, 250 Southeast Morse Hall. If you are uncertain about your issue, come in or call (620) 341-5222 and a counselor can help you decide.

River Street campus celebrates latest round of revitalization
Eight years ago, the sprawling campus of the old Boston Specialty and Rehabilitation Hospital was largely dormant and - in places -crumbling. The shuttered Foley building - the old hospital's battleship building - was a foreboding presence along River Street.
Today, after an investment of more than $80 million in construction costs, the 27 acre campus is buzzing with new homes, streetscapes and amenities.
Trinity Financial will celebrate the completion of the final phase of the job with an all-day community party Saturday. The event will run from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the River Street campus.
Mattapan Heights III is a 73-unit apartment complex that includes 12 units in the old Children's Ward building at the rear of the campus. Next door, 61 new apartments are housed in two new buildings. Trinity officials say all of the units are now fully leased. The third phase has also resulted in a new home for the Mattapan Adult Day Health program, which had been housed nearby on the old hospital campus for the last 30 years.
"It's a stunning, state-of-the-art facility. When you come in, you feel at home," says Maggie Shea, RN, the program director of the Mattapan Adult Day Health program. "It's not that old institutional style setting. We do the same thing in old facility, but now it's a much more comfortable, professional setting.
Activities on Saturday include a welcoming ceremony that begins at 11 a.m., live musical entertainment, tours, and a raffle that includes a $500 grand prize. A children's activity zone will include a moonbounce, face painting and games for the kids.
