It's no easy feat to transform a bread factory into an inspiring architecture office, but HASSELL worked their magic to create a suite of open plan interconnected studio and meeting spaces. Working as both client and designer, the team sought to preserve the building's historic heritage and add new spaces to meet their needs. The building was stripped of new foreign materials and structures to expose its existing fabric and character. Along the way 88% of the building waste by weight was recycled or reused. The team also uncovered the original ovens to show the historic use of the site.
The new facility provides a variety of office, meeting, social and functional spaces that reflect an open and collaborative spirit while ensuring privacy and intimacy. Any new facilities that were constructed were built using concrete, glass and brick and differentiated to respect the original quality of the factory. Cross ventilation was created where possible, and users of the building can choose between natural ventilation or mechanical when appropriate. Daylighting provides quality light to minimize the use of artificial light, and the HVAC systems are energy-efficient. Finally, rainwater is harvested and stored in a tank for irrigation use. HASSELL's Brisbane studio also provides space to support emerging design professionals with studio space and exhibition space is used by local artists for rotating exhibitions.

A pool table is big and heavy. How should I go about moving it. My first thought is to call a few buddies to help move this monster. It should be easy right. First I persuade them to come over with an offering of beer and pizza, of course I've gotta invite at least one buddy that has a full size pick up truck. Once they are all here and have been a little loosened up from some suds, we'll shoot a few games of stick and get 'er done. One, two, three… lift. CRACK!!! What was that? That was a piece a slate that just broke because I was too cheap or maybe just too stupid to go out and hire a professional pool table mover. Yup it's true what they say "being stupid hurts", in this case it's gonna hurt my wallet.
So what is the right way to move a poo table? I think I just stated it a few sentences back: HIRE A PROFESSIONAL POOL TABLE MOVER. Since then I've had to call a billiards repair service to come out and complete the move that me and my buddies started but soon abandoned after ruining my slate. These gentlemen also repaired/replaced my broken slate and I said what the heck, as long as your at it go ahead and replace the felt too. Awesome choice by the way. My pool table is set up, perfectly level and has brand spanking new felt covering on it now. Oh it looks like new, now I don't feel so bad about messing it up in the first place because it lead me to go out and find a professional billiards company to help me out.
So now I'd like to give a shot out and a very high recommendation to these fine gentlemen that helped me out of a tight jam. They were very clean, neat and professional and I'd highly recommend them if you need billiards services because they sent the best pool table movers Los Angeles, CA has to offer. I connected them to make sure it was OK to mention them in this blog post and as I expected they were more then happy to have their pool table company mentioned in such a light. They also asked if I could highlight their billiards company in Houston, Texas. Well here it is if their service in Texas is half as good as the one in LA then I would repeat myself saying "If you want the best pool table movers Houston, Texas has to offer give a call", I am quite sure they will hook you up. And just to make sure that I'm not alienating their billiards shop in Las Vegas, you can find very fine pool table movers in Las Vegas as well. As always folks these are very fine establishments but do your due diligence whenever you are hiring or buying something… do your homework and you won't surprised or disappointed. Also read this short article of fun facts about billiards to appreciate the game!

Paris 2010: Audi e-tron Spyder is what topless hybrid dreams are made of
by Zach Bowman (RSS feed) on Sep 30th, 2010 at 7:29AM
Audi keeps on growing its e-tron family. The automaker pulled a fast one by unveiling yet another electrified monster at the 2010 Paris Motor Show, only this time, the low-slung hybrid came sans-top. The concept is powered by two electric motors and a 300-horsepower twin-turbo TDI V6 that comes to the fight with 479 pound-feet of torque. Audi says that despite the hefty 9.1 kilowatt-hour battery mounted up front, it managed to keep the weight low and distribute the pounds evenly across the chassis. As a result, this e-tron should be plenty flingable if it ever makes it off of the stage... Read More

Margolis This note examines the processes of seeking, receiving, and giving advice by drawing on both academic research and the lessons of skilled practitioners. It begins with a discussion of the potential benefits and costs of advice-seeking and advice-giving. The note then defines and distinguishes four related activities: advising, counseling, coaching and mentoring. Next, it describes the primary stages or steps in the advising process; each stage is examined from the perspective of both advice-seekers and advice-givers. The note concludes with recommendations for practice, listing a number of pitfalls to avoid when seeking, receiving, and giving advice as well as several guidelines and best practices.

text: For many meat lovers, the rib eye is the ultimate steak. Nearly as tender as a filet mignon, it has more marbling, so it fairly bursts with flavor. In these Kobe-style rib eyes from Oregon-based Yamaya, both of those characteristics are amplified, creating a steak with a melt-in-your-mouth, buttery texture and a rich, meaty taste that needs nothing more than a sprinkling of salt and pepper.

The Cuningham Group and REThink Development partnered on this project to create ultra green office space in Culver City. They bought a warehouse that was once part of the MGM studio back lot and worked in 2010 to convert it into LEED Gold office space. The Cuningham Group's office takes up about 20 percent of the overall project and the rest of The Plant is available for sale or for lease. The office is one-third of a mile away from the light rail system and downtown Culver City and right next to bike trails.
Inside the 8,500-square-foot office, the design and decor reinforce the firms's commitment to sustainability, collaboration, and creativity. The firm is targeting LEED Gold interiors and includes floor to ceiling glass walls and four skylights that fill the space with natural daylight. Trickle vents allow fresh air to enter the office on one side and out through exhausts on the other side. Shipping containers are stacked and act as individual offices. An indoor garden in the center has both native and adaptive plants that filter the air and add a touch of green. Employees care and water this garden as well as the outdoor vegetable garden. The office also includes a kitchen and a gallery space where employees can share their work and creative ideas.

A reluctant voyager crossing the Pacific in 1850; a disinherited composer blagging a precarious livelihood in between-the-wars Belgium; a high-minded journalist in Governor Reagan's California; a vanity publisher fleeing his gangland creditors; a genetically modified "dinery server" on death-row; and Zachry, a young Pacific Islander witnessing the nightfall of science and civilization: the narrators of Cloud Atlas hear each other's echoes down the corridor of history, and their destinies are changed in ways great and small.
In his captivating third novel, shortlisted for the Booker Prize, David Mitchell erases the boundaries of language, genre, and time to offer a meditation on humanity's dangerous will to power, and where it may lead us.

Note to customers: The complicated format of this novel makes it seem that the audio may be cutting off before the end of a story, accompanied by a change in narrator. However, this is the author's intention, so please continue to listen, and the stories will conclude themselves as intended.

"[Mitchell's] exuberant, Nabokovian delight in word play; his provocative grapplings with the great unknowables; and most of all his masterful storytelling: all coalesce to make Cloud Atlas an exciting, almost overwhelming masterpiece." (Washington Times)
"[Cloud Atlas] glows with a fizzy, dizzy energy, pregnant with possibility and whispering in your ear: listen closely to a story, any story, and you'll hear another story inside it, eager to meet the world." (The Village Voice)
"A remarkable book....It knits together science fiction, political thriller, and historical pastiche with musical virtuosity and linguistic exuberance: there won't be a bigger, bolder novel next year." (The Guardian)
"thoroughly enjoyed"
Initially, I was concerned that I had made a mistake in choosing this book. Some of the reviews made me skittish and the first (of six) parts is quite difficult to listen to because of it's archaic language. In addition, this first part can make you worry that the book isn't going anywhere.
My patience was rewarded for the rest of the book however, and I include the very end-that picks up the tale of this first part again and is much easier to listen to 2nd time 'round.
The readers are all wonderful, but especially the reader of the sixth part. The sixth part also has strange language. But the reader is so good, that I was totally hooked by the second paragraph.
The overall plot was, at first, hard to find. The story is so temporally disorienting that I had to let go for a while and just enjoy the little subplots as they lay. I noticed little gems of connection and filed them away for later.
Then somewhere in the middle, revelation happened and I began to see Mitchell's point: Our past predicts our future, everything is cyclical and EVERYTHING is connected.
That which sails hopefully to an island paradise must later row from it in horror. (I promise that wasn't a plot spoiler in any way) These connections are perfectly nuanced and so finely finessed, that I didn't see them at first. (I suspect this was meant to be; by one of the finest writers of our time.)
I rarely read or listen to a book more than once but I am already looking forward to revisiting this again someday.
"Complicated and Not Good for Listening!"
This is an outstanding book but mainly if you sit and "read" it. The book is a very complicated read but absolutely amazing if you take the time to actually read it. Listening to it, on the other hand, I found to be extremely difficult. While trying to listen, I found myself rewinding and re-listening to parts constantly causing much frustration and confusion. This book is not really meant for listening pleasure unless your IQ is way above average. If you have time to concentrate on your listen, you may be able to get through it. Once I sat down and read the book, I decided to give it another listen and I found the narrator to be amazing and intriguing. After reading the actual book, I had no trouble listening to it. I actually loved hearing it and got more out of it. If you find yourself unable to listen, sit down and give it a read. You'll Love it!

"A Puzzled & Perfect Novel"
Ironic that I happen to read Cloud Atlas in the same year I read Calvino AND Gibbon's Decline and Fall. All I would have to do is read a little more Melville and perhaps some Jared Diamond and it would be impossible to explain as a mere coincidence. I loved the book. Maybe I'm a pushover for puzzle novels, structural creativity, narrative flourish, thematic clouds, etc., but I really enjoyed every page of Cloud Atlas. I do think this is a strong enough book that it deserves a place on the shelf next to DeLillo or Rushdie. Mitchell took a couple big risks and they paid off fairly well. Not that this is a perfect novel, and it is hard to justify giving it five stars when I also give Dostoevsky and Kafka five stars (certainly they deserve galaxies not stars). I guess the way I look at it is thus - if I read a novel and it makes me want to read another couple novels by the same author it deserves at least 4 stars. If, after reading an author's work, I want to go buy every damn work written - I'm pretty certain that justifies a five star rating
"Easy listening it ain't"
This is an extremely clever book filled with nuances and devices that would, I think, be better appreciated in the written form; to state the obvious, it's much easier to flip back in a book than it is to scan back on a listening device. But you (who am I kidding, I mean me; it's all about me) feel pretty darned smart while listening to the second half of the book when you find that not only do you really get it, but that you are also able to make "aha" connections between parts early on in the book that made almost no sense at the time. This isn't a mystery (although one of the stories within the book does take the form of a mystery, of sorts) but I often felt as if I would have been better able to keep up with the story if I had been taking notes; then again, that probably would have interfered with my ability to sleep on the subway while listening to some of this book. On an almost entirely positive note, some of the narration is excellent and the fact that the book is split up into six different stories with different narrators makes it very easy on the ear, if a little taxing on the brain.
So hooked by audio that I have to read books aloud. *If my reviews help, please let me know.
"'I've looked at life from both sides now..'"
Mitchell (David-not Joni) takes an abstract agenda on a circular trek that arcs over the years with different stories and characters, then curves neatly back and around to completion (because we know a circle has no beginning or ending). The trick is to not keep asking are we they're yet and enjoy the ride, because Mitchell is constantly moving toward a destination, in spite of the feeling that you are zig-zagging all over the place (as well as through time).
As reviewers have already shared, there are 6 stories/narratives that--not so much weave together as--stack upon each other, forming a ring around a central theme. It IS witty and beautifully written and enlightening and humorous...I particularly enjoyed Mitchell's adeptness at becoming a new character and voice in a new era and a new world with each story--a person linked to the past and the future. And, he is a good story teller, one of those that can start a tale and envelop you in the atmosphere as much as the plot. Mitchell is as much an architect and adventurer as a writer, using his words to create and explore.
Some reviewers said they thought Cloud Atlas was a difficult book--an evidentiary case for the audio/Kindle combo option. Having the text was a good tool for those times when I needed 2 or 3 reviews to get on course, but the audio production was so good it heightened the experience. That said, if you can listen without disruption and want a little mind-expanding journey through time, this is not difficult at all...it just is adventurous and outside the box. A puzzle--but one that you can piece together as you go and enjoy the picture as it comes into view.
[*The many reviews here were a helpful guide (especially those that were able to take the advantage of time and add upon early reviews for our benefit on issues like *slow beginning* *abrupt story endings*) and made me appreciate anew the value of listener's sharing their experiences. Reviews I found helpful: Elizabeth/Atlanta; William/Bainbridge; Ryan/Somerville; Karen/Ames; and many more worth reading.]
"Six Short Stories Lumped Under One Title"
This book is NOT about past lives entwined with modern or future lives. Each character is ostensibly "reading" about the previous character but this is only very clear in one or two of the stories. If you're looking for a book like "Holes" where past and present lives impact one another you will be sorely disappointed.
Putting six different stories in one book under one title seems absolutely arbitrary here. The rave reviews seem directed simply at the writer's ability to write in six different styles to match the book's six different settings. All the stories are tragedies but a few have comic or thriller elements that made those FEW bits moderately entertaining, and keeping the reader hopeful for more but ultimately disappointed.
The writer uses an ostentatiously elevated writing style. Yet all that impressive vocabulary does not add one iota to emotional value of the writing. The first story, widely regarded as tedious in these very reviews, is a perfect example of that point.
Yes, some give this book rave reviews. They may be applauding the author's creativity, but they are NOT speaking of his ability to entertain which is weak, at best, and limited to the first halves of only three stories.
If you like generally bleak stories with sad endings you will love this book.
Gen-Xer, software engineer, and lifelong avid reader. Soft spots for sci-fi, fantasy, and history, but I'll read anything good.
One of my favorite books ever, partly because of its unusual structure. Cloud Atlas isn't really a novel in a traditional sense, but six stories nested inside each other. Mitchell writes each vignette in a wildly different setting and style, and offers only the slightest of devices linking each one to the next. There's a 19th century seafaring tale, a sardonic coming-of-age story set in the 30s, a piece after a 1970s suspense paperback, and... well, I won't give away the others. The lack of much direct connection between stories is the sort of choice that some readers will admire and some will think reduces the whole work to an exercise in self-indulgence.
I fall into the former camp. Mitchell has the virtuosity to make his design work, and each character voice, though very different from the preceding one, rings true. I think that readers who are looking for a clever device to tie it all together, obvious closure, or a sense of how seriously the author means us to take his fanciful constructs, are missing the point. I find this be a work that creates a series of impressions, like paintings or tracks on a music album, and lets them float together in the reader's mind, their mood and tone forming moving but elusive connections in the imagination. In this case, the sense of struggle and incompleteness that each story evokes in its turn came across in a way I found beautiful and affecting, even in the way one world gave way to the next without warning. The cyclical structure of the book and its recurring patterns reminded me of Buddhist ideas. Don't try to read Cloud Atlas just for plot, or you'll be disappointed; read it for the writing, conviction, imagery, and artistry.
"Incredibly imaginative and complex"
This is one of the best books I have read in the last few years (and I read more than 100 books per year). The different narrators for each section were excellent and helped distinguish each story. I did find myself reviewing the hard copy of the book as well because the material is so rich, I didn't want to miss anything. Although I normally don't read science fiction, the sections that were science fiction were intriguing because of the way they tied into the remainder of the book. Don't miss it!
"Clever writing"
This "novel" is really 6 short stories. The gimmick is that the second story starts in the middle of the first and the third starts in the middle of the second and so on. Only the sixth story is complete and then we get the finish of the fifth, fourth, third, second and first stories. The stories occur in the 1840s, 1930s, 1970s, present, 100+ years, 200+ years.
On one level, the author is making his philosophical point that mankind is inheritently greedy and willing to kill and enslave other humans. The ultimate result is a corpocracy that destroys everything as we see in the final two stories.
On another level is a great wordsmith who gives each story a different voice and even a different language while staying true to his message. In the second story, a composer writes to his physicist friend(see third story) that he has conceived a major work which he will call the "Cloud Atlas Sextette." Each of the six parts will be a different instrument and will be interrupted by the next part and finished in descending order by the remaining parts: 12345654321. The composer asks: Is this a conceit or genius? And each listener should probably ask the same question.
The readers are excellent and it is immediately clear which of the six stories is being read. There are a lot of interesting discussion issues raised by this book. I would buy it again but I imagine that many would not really enjoy it.
I really wanted to like this book. The narrators did a great job, but the story itself is one tale following another - - through time - - highlighting how cruel and heartless mankind can be to each other. Filled with despicable characters, cheaters, liars, murderers, betrayers along with the simple naivete of those who have been damaged. The author is in love with his language and apparently has a low opinion of mankind in general. There are hints of inter-connects between the stories, but nothing clever or "ah ha" about it. I am truly baffled at the popularity of this novel. I may see the movie out of curiosity. They will have to cut quite of bit to make it fit into a single motion picture. This might make it better.

A major pre-requisite of electric outdoor chandeliers for outdoor use, is that they must be rugged to withstand the vagaries of the environment, such as harsh sunlight, rains and thundershowers or gale force winds, etc. Apart from this, the regulatory requirement insists that all outdoor light fixtures must be UL approved for moist environment. These designs are resistant to dampness and moisture entering their circuitry and causing mishaps. For this, generally, they use sealed circuitry. Even the exposed accessories such as switches are protected with rubber insulation, sealed glass shades, chords and plugs with grounding.
A sufficiently robust outdoor light fixture with adequate protection provided for in its design can be used even in rough weather. Some of the other factors to be taken into consideration while selecting outdoor light fixtures are as follows:
(i.) Energy Star tests and approves the energy efficiency of consumer products which use electrical energy. Products with sufficiently sound energy efficiency are fixed with their logo. The electric outdoor chandelier which is proposed to be used must be approved and rated by Energy Star. In fact, this is a pre-requisite for all electric fixtures.
(ii.) Only electricians with a valid license must be allowed to install or otherwise adjust any electric outdoor chandelier.
(iii.) In case the electric outdoor chandelier consists of lamp shades, the material and specifications of the shades deserve attention.
While shades made of fabrics give a translucent glimmer to the light emitted, it is preferable that these be made of vinyl or an alternative water resistant fabric material to avoid damage due to rain or mildew, etc. Dark shades prevent too much light from penetrating outside. Therefore, areas which need to be well-lighted should be lit up with outdoor light fixtures having lighter colored shades, such as white, cream or off-white. Similarly, biege or tan colored shades offer a soft tone of light. On the other hand, any shades darker than these will allow much lesser light to shine.
Another factor to be considered is whether you want the shades to be turned up or turned down? Usually, turned up shades emit more light but there are also chances of collecting dirt, dust, debris, insects and bugs in them. Hence, for outdoor light fixtures, it is preferable that the shades are turned down so that the fixtures are protected from unwanted external rubbish.
Lastly, sealed glass shades is most favorable for outdoor light fixtures, since they protect the susceptible elements inside the lamp from moisture, dust, insects, debris and other unwanted elements.
(iv.) The area where the outdoor light fixture is to be hung should be decided in advance. In case the fixture is being provided purely for creating an atmosphere, it should cast a suffused light upwards. Alternately, if it has to be hung over an activity area, then you may want the light to be cast downwards. Somewhere in between come the outdoor spotlights, which need to be sufficiently flexible so that they can focus on the exact spot where they are needed.
(v.) The size of the area which has to be lighted up should also be taken into consideration. Sometimes, you may find it better to have two or more smaller outdoor light fixtures in an area, instead of a single one hung centrally.
(vi.) Dimmers are nowadays being extensively used, especially for outdoor light fixtures. Apart from handing over control over the magnitude of light you desire, they also help save electricity by reducing the quantum of light and thereby the quantum of electricity consumption.
Electric outdoor chandeliers are available in an extensive range of varieties to meet an array of tastes and preferences. Selecting the right design and size involves considering all available options before making the decision to buy one. Electric outdoor lighting has functional as well as aesthetic use. It allows tasks to be performed outdoors and also augments gratification of the lawns, walkways, patios, sundecks, gazebos, swimming pools, etc., which you may have outside the house, especially during relaxed evenings. Deciding the position and the functions of your outdoor light fixture before buying it will help you maximize its usage and lifespan.

Many bankers and investors who supported Mitt Romney hoped the Republican's election would pave the way for a paring back of the 2010 Dodd-Frank financial overhaul.
President Barack Obama on Friday, in his first public statements at the White House since winning reelection, will call on Congress to take steps to help the economy and reduce the deficit, Laura Meckler reports on the News Hub.

Last August, President Obama and Congress put the U.S. economy on course to go over a "fiscal cliff." With the 2012 presidential election decided, WSJ's David Wessel tells you everything you need to know about the "cliff" but were afraid to ask.
But while President Barack Obama's victory means the law will stand, the finance industry could yet trim some parts of the law because changes now are politically less risky for the administration and Democrats in Congress.
"The door is open for modifications that can produce economic growth," said Jaret Seiberg, Washington analyst with Guggenheim Securities.

He predicted that small changes will move through Congress in the next couple of years.
Wall Street also has won some victories in court and may redouble its legal challenges now that a legislative rollback has been ruled out.
More lawsuits are likely, particularly against the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, where federal courts already have thrown out two rules spawned by the law.
Business groups have argued successfully in recent cases to overturn SEC rules that regulators failed to properly analyze the costs of their regulations, and the court has been receptive to such arguments.
"The court has set such a low bar for challenging new regulations in the first couple of months after their adoption that I think it's tempting for industry to challenge regulations whether they're good or bad," said Bruce Kraus, a partner at the law firm Kelley Drye & Warren LLP who was a co-chief counsel in the SEC's risk division.
Regulators have had their wrists slapped by the courts and now it is up to them to "get it right," said Tom Quaadman, vice president of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's Center for Capital Markets Competitiveness.
Ken Bentsen, who heads the Washington office of the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association, said the Wall Street trade group will continue engaging with regulators and "advocating where we think it's appropriate for legislative fixes" to the law.
Efforts to tweak Dodd-Frank haven't been without success, particularly when changes can be shown to benefit the broader economy rather than just the biggest financial firms.
A sign that bipartisan changes are possible: The House Financial Services Committee has adopted several Dodd-Frank changes with bipartisan support, many of them tweaking the derivatives provisions banks and nonfinancial firms have protested. None has yet become law.
Any changes are "going to be driven a lot more by the impact that Dodd-Frank has on smaller banks," said one financial executive. Community banks have far more political clout with both parties than big banks do.
Financial-industry officials say they will be watching how the parties deal with the looming "fiscal cliff"—the raft of tax increases and spending cuts that will take effect Jan. 1 if the parties don't reach a debt deal—as an indication of the level of cooperation likely.
Some are less optimistic that even small changes can make it through Congress, whose dynamics were largely unchanged by the election.
A Democratic aide to the Senate Banking Committee pointed out one minor fix to the law has been blocked by Sen. Jim DeMint (R., S.C.), despite being supported by GOP leadership. Staff members at Mr. DeMint's office weren't available for comment.
Republicans, on the other hand, said they want to be able to vote on amendments, which Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D., Nev.) has blocked them from offering to protect Democrats up for election from taking tough votes.
Despite Mr. Romney's loss, the financial sector has other means to delay or even overturn some parts of the law.
No fewer than five Dodd-Frank rules, with estimated upfront costs of more than $4 billion, have been rejected by the courts or are the subject of lawsuits.
Among them, the Securities and Exchange Commission last year lost a legal challenge to its plans to empower shareholders to oust underperforming directors, called the "proxy access" rule.
Even without court battles, regulators have struggled to meet deadlines.
Only a third of the 398 rule makings required by the act were finalized as of Nov. 1, according to analysis by law firm Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP. More than half the law's deadlines for rules have been missed, the analysis found.
Bart Chilton, a Democratic commissioner of the Commodities Futures Trading Commission, said it is a headache for regulators to determine whether industry lobbying is based on a legitimate concern or is simply a delaying tactic. "Often it's both," he said.
He said one reason the CFTC has moved slowly on rules is because officials want "to be sure we don't have these legal challenges."
Mr. Chilton said the agency will likely appeal later this month a federal judge's ruling striking down a high-profile Dodd-Frank rule designed to curb speculative trading, according to Mr. Chilton. The "position limits" rule at the center of the court battle caps the derivatives contracts traders can hold in certain commodities.

The Melbourne Emergency Shelter Exhibition lasted from May 1-5, 2013 and was held in Federation Square where leading architects from the area designed and built emergency shelters. The purpose of the event was to explore solutions to emergency shelters in disaster-affected locations around the world. Obviously shelters are created to protect victims from the elements, but this exhibition also set out to explore how disaster relief and shelters could also provide support and comfort.
BVN's solution explored the range of options in materials, but they settled on prefabrication using plywood. Plywood sheets are laser cut into 40 differently shaped pieces. These are then flat packed and shipped to the site, where 1-2 people assemble the shelter. No tools are needed and shelter is as easy to assemble as an IKEA cupboard. Plastic sheeting is affixed the exterior. The resulting circular shelter has an opening to access the interior and the shape of the parts create benches and a sleeping berth.
The Emergency Shelter by BVN Architecture is a working prototype, but provides a space where people can gather and feel safe. "Central to our thinking has been designing a shelter that provides a sense of joy, delight and spatial experiences that are nurturing in a time of tragedy and displacement," said Jane Williams, Principal, BVN Donovan Hill. By questioning what the internal and external qualities could be, we can design shelters that provide meaningful spaces – private space for individuals and families, enabling children to play and groups gather without it being in a central hall used by hundreds of people."

Hammer toe occurs when there is a shortening of the tendon that controls toe movement. This causes the middle joint of the toe to be bent upward and the outer joint downwards. The misshapen toe resembles a hammer. A hammer toe correction is done to correct a toe deformity called a hammer toe .
Reasons for Procedure
A hammertoe correction is considered when:
- Other treatments have failed to bring about results.
- The affected toe has assumed an awkward position and is causing pain.
- The deformity makes walking difficult.
- The position of the toe causes breakdown of skin. This can increase the risk of developing a bone infection.
Possible Complications
Complications are rare, but no procedure is completely free of risk. If you are planning to have the correction, your doctor will review a list of possible complications, which may include:
- Infection
- Bleeding
- Excessive swelling, although the toe will normally be swollen for 4-8 weeks following surgery
- Anesthesia-related problems
- Recurrence of hammer toe
- Nerve or blood vessel injury to the toe
Factors that may increase the risk of complications include:
What to Expect
Prior to Procedure
Your doctor will likely do the following:
- Physical exam
- X-rays
Talk to your doctor about your medicines. You may be asked to stop taking some medicines up to one week before the procedure, like:
- Aspirin or other anti-inflammatory drugs
- Blood thinners
The day of the procedure:
- Arrange for a ride to and from the procedure.
- Arrange for help at home after the procedure.
- Wear comfortable clothing that is easy to remove.
Local anesthesia is often used. It will numb the area. Spinal anesthesia may also be used. This anesthesia will make your lower body numb.
Description of the Procedure
Several surgical options are available for hammer toe correction. Some corrections can be made with changes to soft tissue. Others need to be made to the bone or joint.
This is usually best in patients under 30, with limited toe deformity. A cut is made in the skin and the tendon is released. Sometimes it is reattached to a different area of the bone. The changes in soft tissue will allow the toe to relax and eliminate the deformity.
Two common methods of hammer toe correction on the bones themselves are joint arthroplasty and joint fusion. The type of procedure used depends on the deformity. A combination of procedures may be needed. In both cases, a cut in the skin is made over the toe joint.
During an arthroplasty, part of the bones on both sides of the middle toe joint may be removed. This will allow the toe to uncurl.
During a fusion, the ends of the toe bones are removed. The bones are then repositioned. The repositioning is usually held together with a pin placed within the bone. The pin may be removed after 3-4 weeks. Other changes to the anatomy of the foot due to the hammer toe may also be corrected at this time.
The incision will be closed with stitches. Dressings will be applied to hold the toe in proper position.
How Long Will It Take?
This depends on the procedure and the number of toes corrected.
Will It Hurt?
Anesthesia prevents pain during the surgery. You will be given medicine to manage pain after the surgery.
Post-procedure Care
- During the first couple of days, keep your foot elevated most of the time.
- Limit standing and walking, and stay off your foot as much as possible.
- Use crutches or wear a special open-toed, wooden-soled shoe, as directed by your doctor .
- Ask your doctor about when it is safe to shower, bathe, or soak in water.
The corrected toe may be slightly longer or shorter than before surgery. The toe will not move as much as a normal toe. Expect some swelling and redness, which may last for several months. Your dressing may need to be adjusted as swelling decreases. If it appears that the deformity may recur, your doctor may choose to continue with dressings for another 2-4 weeks.
Select shoes with plenty of space for your toes. Poorly fitting shoes contribute to hammer toe development.
Call Your Doctor
After arriving home, contact your doctor if any of the following occurs:
- Signs of infection, including fever and chills
- Redness, swelling, increasing pain, excessive bleeding, or any discharge from the incision site
- Pain that you cannot control with the medicines you have been given
In case of an emergency, call for medical help right away.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- A judge has declined to dismiss a dispute between the Shakespeare Theatre Company and the landlords for its Lansburgh Theatre in Washington's Penn Quarter.
The Washington Post (http://wapo.st/UDO198 ) reports the theater company is fighting a proposed rent increase from $70,000 a year to $480,000. The nonprofit Lansburgh Theatre Inc. serves as the landlord and was set up to support the theater company. Now, it wants to raise the rent.
The theater owner accuses the Shakespeare company of using income from the Lansburgh to support its larger Sidney Harman Hall nearby.
The arrangement dates back to the redevelopment of the area in the 1970s and 1980s. In a deal to acquire the building, owner Graham Gund donated $1 million over 14 years to support the theater. The original agreement recently expired.
