True Green Cities / Does the Museum of Modern Art Disrespect Women?
Earlier this week I visited the Museum of Modern Art for the first time since they "confirmed" they are demolishing the American Folk Art Museum. I struggled with renewing my membership this past spring given the disrespect both I and many others felt that MoMA showed towards its little jewel of a neighbor which lost out in the big real estate dealings of New York City. Despite the protests of nearly every architectural critic and historian and architects around the world, this beautiful landmark is now under scaffolding as it is dismantled. There has been much written about it and its doom, by me and most recently Architectural Record. But I gave in and rejoined because some of the best architectural exhibits I've ever seen (including both the Labrouste and the LeCorbusier exhibits last year) have been thoughtfully and beautifully curated by the MoMA staff. I love their restaurants (although incredibly over priced) and reading in the Philip Johnson-designed garden has always been a joy. So off I went to spend another summer afternoon at one of my beloved institutions, this time to visit the new exhibit "Designing Modern Women."
Ambiguity Meets Patriarchy
This exhibit made me question renewing my membership and left me quivering with anger. Ken Johnson at the NY Times wrote a much more measured review of the exhibit than I find myself capable of doing: Shoehorned into half the Museum of Modern Art's design department, "Designing Modern Women 1890-1990" is a confusing exhibition but an excellent conversation starter. And If there have been important female designers of tools, automobiles and skyscrapers, that sort of work remains unrecognized here.
I had not read any reviews before I went. I had no idea what to expect, but this was not it. Before I discuss the intellectual content, let me share my discontent with the exhibit's organization. Like Mr. Johnson, I was very confused from the minute I arrived at the exhibit. There was no "entrance," the entry boards were located halfway into the room and I was never quite sure where the exhibit started or ended. The entire exhibit was very small. While LeCorbusier's groundbreaking exhibit last summer occupied an entire wing of the third floor, this one barely used one room. Now I love Le Corbusier and that exhibit, which I went to three times, was worth every square foot. But come on MoMA, an entire century of modern design by women is "shoehorned" in one back space? (To quote Mr. Johnson again.)
It is my understanding that the exhibit is comprised of items already in the MoMA collections. If that is the case, then MoMA better start seriously evaluating their collections and the representation of woman designers in it. With such a lack of connected content, I really do not understand why they bothered with this exhibit. There was no expected "shop" at the end with related items for sale and no exhibit catalogue. In the book shop, on a shelf entitled "Books related to current exhibits," the only "related" book I could find was one on midcentury kitchen counters. Really.
Overall I found everything from the chosen content, to the labels to the lack of real intellectual rigor solicitous and patriarchal. The ambiguity of the goal of the exhibit was frustrating. Perhaps it would have been less confusing if the exhibit were just called what it was – a random collection of various design items in the modern era by men with some involvement of a woman. Charlotte Perriand, who worked with Corbu, receives the most attention as does her kitchen design for L'Unite d' Habitation in Marseilles. Eileen Gray is mentioned as is Francis Knoll but I had trouble even identifying what items they designed. The design teams of Charles and Ray Eames, and Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown are meagerly represented, but nowhere are any of the brilliant modern architects such as Natalie de Blois even suggested. Yet an entire display called "Kitchen Transformations " takes up 1/5 of the exhibit. To quote Mr. Johnson one last time, "If the exhibition were intended not to celebrate female designers but to lament how sexism kept them down, you wouldn't have to change a thing."
Where is MoMA Heading?
Barry Bergdoll, MoMA's architecture and design department curator, recently left to return to teaching at Columbia full-time. His replacement was just announced last week – Martino Stierli, a Swiss art history professor. I would love to know the real story behind Mr. Bergdoll's leaving – was he frustrated by the museum's response to the Folk Art debacle? Or was it just his time to leave. I fear that this meager "woman" exhibit is an example of what happens during a leadership vacuum. I hope that Mr. Stierli continues the significant research and exhibits that are now Mr. Bergdoll's legacy. As I left the exhibit and museum in a huff, I realized that the entry bollards were removed, now providing free public access to the garden. MoMA has offered up its garden to the public as mitigation for demolishing the Folk Art Museum building, and while that is appreciated, since free access to MoMA is not easily gotten, I hardly think that makes up for the reckless disrespect that this institution (and its board) shows toward actual built design on its street. One wonders if the Folk Art Museum had been designed by Frank Gehry as opposed to the collaborative team of Tod Williams Billi Tsien Architects would the real estate-centric board of MOMA been so quick to dismiss it.

True Green Cities / From Main Street to Eco-Districts: A Spring Walk Down Market Street
More than a hundred architects, planners, engineers, green building professionals and even mayors gathered in the heart of the Finger Lakes last month to celebrate the start of the main street revitalization movement with the 40th anniversary of Corning's Market Street Restoration Agency. In a conference filled with "keynotes," From Main Street to Eco-Districts: Greening Our Communities in Corning opened a dynamic dialogue between historic preservation and green building practitioners, city planners and thinkers.
AIA Southern New York, the Preservation League of New York State, Market Street Restoration and Corning's Gaffer District joined efforts to celebrate the Market Street Restoration project, Corning's "main street." In celebration of Market Street Restoration's 40thanniversary, this two-day conference featured the one-day "Rethinking Downtowns Through a Green Lens" Symposium and the one-day "Making Upper Floors Work Again" Workshop and Tour of Upper Floors. Through a combination of keynotes, plenary sessions, and tours, nationally known speakers and local experts discussed smart growth, downtown revitalization, form-based codes, LEED for Neighborhood Development and green new design and preservation projects.
Why is Corning's Market Street So Special?
In 1974, Market Street Restoration Agency (MSRA) was established to guide the revitalization of downtown Corning following the flood of 1972. The Agnes flood for many residents is the key historical moment of the 20th century for the City. After the flood, many communities began widespread demolition of their downtowns, seeing the flood's devastation as a route toward "urban renewal." Corning took a different approach, relying on a movement toward historic preservation which had begun before the flood to keep the City's character in place. As its downtown evolved into a restoration project that was later emulated by communities across the country, Market Street Restoration was modeled by the National Trust for Historic Preservation in the creation of its National Main Street Program and the Main Street Manager concept. Now known as one of the very first downtown revitalization projects in the United States, Corning's renewal, led by Norman Mintz working together with the merchants, business and property owners became the gold standard for revitalizing an historic downtown. (This paragraph is excerpted from Elise Johnson-Schmidt's "Living on Main Street History." Read the full document here: Living on Market Street HistoryFINAL_By E J-Schmidt.)
From People Habitats to Older, Smaller, Better
Kaid Benfield, Special Counsel for Urban Solutions at the Natural Resources Defense Council, in Washington, DC was the opening keynote of the symposium. Kaid is an adjunct professor at the George Washington University School of Law; co-founder, LEED for Neighborhood Development rating system; co-founder, Smart Growth America coalition; author of several books on smart growth and sprawl, and a regular contributor to the websites The Atlantic Cities, the Sustainable Cities Collective, and NRDC's Switchboard. He was selected as one of the world's "top urban thinkers" on the city planning website Planetizen and one of "the most influential people in sustainable planning and development" by the Partnership for Sustainable Communities. Kaid has just published. People Habitat: 25 Ways to Think about Greener, Healthier Cities. He opened up the 2 day conference with his thoughts about how to maximize cities' endless potential to support greener, healthier living. And reminded us that we build habitats for people, so people need to come first. And it's not really about cities, instead it's about regions and neighborhoods. City limits are only relevant to cartographers and political candidates. They're not relevant to air, water, energy, transportation or commerce. Americans walk less than almost every other nation which correlates to why we are so unfit as a population. Cities need welcoming pedestrian-focused streets and walkways, filled with nature and wonder. Which is why it isn't surprising that a small city like Corning has gotten it right.
While day one began with Kaid's big picture insight, it ended with Mike Powe's Greening the Older, Smaller Buildings of Main Street. As Senior Research Manager of the National Trust for Historic Preservation's Preservation Green Lab, Dr. Michael Powe leads research efforts empirically assessing the contributions that existing buildings offer communities. At the Green Lab, Mike is part of a team that aims to strengthen the fabric of communities by encouraging reuse and retrofit of existing buildings to improve social, environmental, and economic performance. With his colleagues, Mike recently completed work on a project that statistically demonstrated the critical role that older, smaller buildings play in supporting the social, cultural, and economic vitality of urban neighborhoods. This study, Older, Smaller, Greener had just been published to great fanfare the week before and the attendees were some of the first professionals to hear the findings from Mike. We encourage you to read the full study. And please read Kaid Benfield's homage to main street and Corning.
Using Codes and Zoning to Make Downtowns Walkable
The genesis of this conference came from a desire from some of the AIASNY members to learn more about "form-based" codes and this panel included a dream team of planners who are leading the design and implementation of form-based codes. Rick Bernhardt from Nashville, Chris Hawley from Buffalo and Noah Demarest from Ithaca led a lively review of their own city's regeneration approaches though form-based planning.
Rick's practice has focused on creating sustainable communities, neighborhoods and places through the use of traditional planning and design principles. In his current position as Executive Director of Metropolitan Nashville-Davidson County Planning Department, he instituted the Community Character Manual (CCM) as a template for form-based community planning and the development of a model for integrated land use and transportation planning. He has also led teams in the adoption of over 20 form-based codes to achieve the community's vision. Nashville's form-based code and planning process is often considering the granddaddy of this process. Rick shared why community planning is one of the critical elements to creating an effective form-based code and that sometimes you just don't call a form-based code a form-based code! The Community Character Manual changes emphasis from land use and density to form and character. It is a proactive process to preserve, create and enhance community character. The CCM became the reference guide for all community plan policies, providing guidance for future zone change and subdivision requests.
Chris Hawley is a city planner at the Mayor's Office of Strategic Planning in Buffalo, NY. He is on the team of planners working on the Green Code, a project to replace the city's antiquated zoning ordinance with a new code based on smart growth and sustainability principles. The Green Code process has been successful as a result of active citizen engagement and participation. More than 4,000 residents and stakeholders have already participated in the drafting of the Code which is on the street now for final review. The Green Code has six components: Land Use Plan, Unified Development Ordinance, Local waterfront revitalization program, brownfield opportunity areas, urban renewal plans and generic environmental impact statement. The Code supports planning, rehabilitation and new design through examination of and sympathy with Buffalo's significant architectural and planning legacy.
Noah Demarest is a licensed and registered Architect and Landscape Architect as well as a LEED Accredited Professional. Today, Noah leads the design of campus and municipal projects, small commercial projects as well the design of single and multi-family housing through his firm STREAM Collaborative. STREAM Collaborative Architecture + Landscape Architecture and Randall + West Planners recently joined forces with Ithaca based non-profit, Better! Cities and Towns to win a $175,000 grant through NYSERDA's Cleaner, Greener Communities Initiative. The project will help the City and Town of Ithaca to build new zoning regulations based on the SmartCode, an open source zoning code that can be calibrated to reflect the best of a community and promotes smarter growth, open space preservation and diverse walkable neighborhoods. Both the City and Town of Ithaca currently rely on outdated zoning regulations that incentivize or require traffic-creating, single-use and auto-dependent sprawl and create unnecessary barriers for pedestrian oriented neighborhoods. Both municipalities have called for a new code in their draft comprehensive plans and are keen to have zoning that reflect their community vision. Noah discussed the process of developing a form-based code including an update on the progress made to date and the overall plan for implementation.
How LEED-ND Can Make Neighborhoods Greener
Jason Hercules and Jessica Millman examined what LEED-ND is and explored how LEED for Neighborhood Development was used in the SALT District in Syracuse as a framework for retrofitting an existing neighborhood and as an audit tool to evaluate the sustainable-readiness of the City of Ithaca's land development codes and regulations.
Jason Hercules, Manager of LEED Resource Development at USGBC, has studied, taught and worked to implement sustainable development practices for more than 10 years. During his time with the U.S. Green Building Council, he has helped to manage resource development for the LEED for Neighborhood Development rating system, along with many other USGBC rating systems. Jason relies on his expertise in Smart Growth, transit-oriented, mixed-use development, and green building to provide technical development of the rating system; project review and certification; and education on many of the sustainable development elements espoused by LEED for Neighborhood Development.
Jessica Cogan Millman is an expert and leader in urban planning, environmentally sustainable development, and the principles of smart growth. As a founding member of the LEED for Neighborhood Development (LEED-ND) Core Committee, Jessica drafted many of the credits. Jessica is experimenting with applying the LEED-ND rating system in non-traditional ways, including using the rating system as an audit tool to measure how well a community can achieve sustainability goals. Jessica has extensive experience working at all levels of government and also in the non-profit arena. Jessica now directs the Natural Resources Defense Council's Green Neighborhood Program. This program works with communities around the country to design, plan, and catalyze the building of model, neighborhood-scale development projects that combine smart growth, environmental justice, green stormwater infrastructure, efficient transportation options, green building, and public health practices.
The Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), one of the nation's leading environmental organization, is reducing the country's environmental footprint by transforming the way urban revitalization is conducted in America. The Green Neighborhoods program is designed to identify the needs specific to each place and work together with local partners to develop a strategy to implement neighborhood scale sustainable development projects. The green metrics defined in LEED for Neighborhood Development guide the recommendations.
The LEED for Neighborhood Development Rating System was developed primarily for new development projects interested in obtaining a "green" stamp of approval. The rating system contains a set of measurable standards that score the degree to which a proposed development is environmentally superior by considering the development's location and access, its internal pattern and design, and its use of green technology and building techniques. However, the tool is much more than that. It is also a checklist capable of articulating and quantifying what sustainability at a community scale looks like. Thus, not only can LEED-ND be used to certify development projects, communities can align their plans and land development regulations with sustainability best practices.
Historic Buildings are Going Green
From big picture planning, the day proceeded with studies of historic buildings which have successfully gone green. I presented an overview of the topic which can be basically read throughout my website and Joseph Mahota and Anna Campas presented detailed examinations of how their historic building projects achieved LEED certification.
Joseph F. Mahota RA, AIA, LEED AP, CCEO, SSGB is the principal owner of Mahota Associates Architects, a specialized Architectural Design and Consulting Firm specializing in the Design Build Delivery Method for buildings and development. The firm was established in 2001 and is located in Loudonville, NY. Joe's 27 year career has been an exploration of architect as master builder advocating the building process as another one of the many steps and benefits of good design. His firm renovated the Barton Mines Corporate Headquarters in an 1864 historic downtown commercial building in Glens Falls New York, achieving LEED Platinum. Joe shared the intricacies of working with a client who has high performance sustainability building goals as a way to counteract the fact that its business is from strip mining (of garnet primarily).
Anna Campas is a registered architect, professional engineer and LEED AP with the NYS Office of General Services (OGS). She has co-chaired the drafting of rules and regulations for the NYS Green Building Construction Act and is charged with training designers for the implementation of the Governor's Executive Order No. 88 (Energy Efficiency of State Buildings) at her agency. At OGS, Anna focuses mainly on sustainability projects and led the project to achieve LEED Gold certification for the 1856 Governor's Mansion in Albany in 2009. This was the first governor's residence in the country to achieve that level of the LEED rating system, specifically working to improve the maintenance and operations of the residence.
Making Upper Floors Work Again
Day Two of the conference looked at the nuances of revitalizing downtown main streets and focused on the issue of upper floor vacancy. Downtowns throughout New York are characterized by two-to five-story buildings constructed in the 19th and early 20th centuries. These commercial rows have endured changing uses and economies and with timely care, they can last for centuries. Many boast of special details – from cast iron storefronts to brick cornices – and some buildings are designated as landmarks. While street level business may catch our attention first, the upper floors are also integral to the buildings. However, vacant upper stories present opportunities and challenges for reuse.
Recognizing the need for information on how downtowns can become more vibrant, the Preservation League of New York State developed a program consisting of a workshop made available to communities facing the issue of upper floor vacancy. The workshop, "Enhancing Main Street: Making Upper Floors Work Again," brings together experts in community revitalization. The workshop sessions addressed design, building code and financial strategies employed in New York State communities for bringing upper floors back to productive use.
Norman Mintz was the opening keynote for Day Two. He is one of the pioneers of the Main Street movement. He is an Industrial Designer and a Historic Preservationist who specializes in providing solutions on matters of Urban Design, Organization and Management while encouraging community participation in all aspects of the downtown revitalization process.
Following are Norman's own words regarding why Main Street Revitalization Matters: Although Main Street may have lost its importance as a shopping destination (at least in terms of a mall), it has never lost its significance as the heart and soul of the community. It is that emotional tie that has kept Main Street's existence relevant. Emotions however can go just so far. As such, over the past couple of decades downtown revitalization efforts have kicked in to ensure that Main Street remains as a vital center for community life. This is not an easy task, yet enormous strides have taken place on Main Streets and neighborhood commercial districts all over the country.
Norman's presentation touched upon the many ways that Main Street contributes to the social, economic and spiritual life of a community. Topics included: Pride of Place, Appreciation of History, Preservation of Older Buildings, Environmental Sense, Rehabilitation of Infrastructure, Fostering Economic Viability, Providing Jobs, and Offering Choices for Housing and for the promotion of Quality of Life. Above all, the presentation was geared as a way to encourage Main Street stakeholders ‐ from property owners, to merchants, developers, elected officials and residents alike, to know that their continuing efforts are making a huge contribution in "Why Main Street Revitalization Still Matters".
Once Norman set the stage, Murray Gould honed in on how to financially and economically make the revitalization case. Murray Gould is the founder of Port City Preservation LLC, a consulting, advisory and development firm that specializes in the adaptive reuse, restoration and rehabilitation of historic properties. Port City Preservation has participated in a wide range of successful projects that include historic homes, mills, industrial facilities, hospitals, schools and public buildings – all of which were highly challenging. Previously, Murray served as the chief tax executive of Carolina Power & Light Company for 13 years. Using case studies of a school, home, textile mill, hospital and hotel, Murray took participants through the options for financing and successfully working the State Historic Preservation Offices and National Park Service on rehabilitation tax credit projects.
Joseph Fama is the Executive Director of TAP, Inc., a community design and development center established in 1969 that provides design and planning services in Troy and throughout the Capital Region. He has been TAP's executive director since 1972 and is one of its three staff architects. Joe has been directly involved with building code issues as a member of the NYS Department of State Technical Subcommittees on revision of the State Energy Code, Appendix K of the Building Code (for Existing Buildings), and the adoption of the International Existing Buildings Code. With the involvement of Joe and others at TAP, the center frequently provides consulting services in evaluating code requirements for proposed renovation projects. Joe explained the implications of the 2010 Code for Existing Buildings on preservation projects, discussed compliance alternatives and helped attendees understand the structure and application of the current code and the hopes for upcoming new codes. Joe sees four points of interest and conflict – exits, accessibility, sprinklers and R-3: the Main Street use class.
Elise Johnson-Schmidt, one of the organizers of the conference ended the conference with a passionate discussion of "living on main street." A preservation architect from Corning, Elise is a former member of the New York State Board for Historic Preservation and a founding board member of the New York Main Street Alliance. She has 30 years of experience in preservation architecture as both an architect and as the former Executive Director of Market Street Restoration Agency. Elise has championed the development of upper floor housing in historic downtowns since 1995, building support in the public and private sector through her work to impact the NYS Existing Building Code and advocating private, not-for-profit and public property owners to revitalize historic buildings for use as housing.
Since 2001, Elise has been leading Corning's efforts to remake the vacant upper floors of Market Street. Now, there are over 50 market rate apartments, abundant additional quality apartment spaces and apartments are at 100% occupancy. Rarely is there availability and Corning's success is once again being watched by downtown revitalization professionals and nearby communities. Living downtown breathes new life into communities: it creates a 24-hour presence, stimulates the creation of new nighttime businesses, creates vibrancy in a community, provides income to maintain the buildings, and elevates the quality of life.
Celebrating With an Art Show and a Market Street Tour
Conference events were held all over town from the Brutalist 1970s Radisson Hotel, to the renovated 171 Cedar Arts Center and the West End Gallery on Market Street. Participants enjoyed roaming around the shops and upper floors of Market Street as much as they enjoyed meeting one another and sharing walkability, preservation and green retrofit ideas. A juried art show and conference reception was held in an art gallery on Main Street and the conference ended with several hours of self-guided tours through upper floor apartments and businesses that opened up specifically for the group.
Kaid Benfield told us how our "people habitat" ‐ our homes, neighborhoods, cities and towns, and metropolitan regions ‐ has an ecology analogous to that of natural habitat: its component parts must be in harmony with each other and with the natural world upon which people habitat depends. Because much damage has been done over the past several decades, however, our task as designers and placemakers must now be to restore that harmony essential to sustainability. Spending time in Corning shows us how to do that.

True Green Cities / Pondering Modernism in a Modern City
It's been three years since I launched Barbara A. Campagna/Architecture + Planning, PLLC and while many things have changed, my goal to work on "greening what's already here" continues to be met, often in places I never expected. Many people are finding new ways to integrate historic preservation and green building practices, which makes my new venture a delightful and intellectually inspiring one. This is blog five of my anniversary week.
Houston is the largest city in Texas and the fourth largest city in the United States with over 2.1 million people. I have been invited to speak in Houston four times in the past three years and find myself enjoying and admiring Houston more and more every time. Houston was the site of the second annual Docomomo US conference this past March and I had the honor to speak on a panel about sustainability and modernism.
Passive Design and Modernism in the Sunbelt
Our panel included Carl Stein discussing the themes from his book Greening Modernism, Professor Michelangelo Sabatino discussing passive design approaches in Houston's modern skyscrapers and me discussing the control of humidity in modern buildings. Traditional historic buildings (built before 1945) were often built in ways that recognized the high degree of individual controllability that buildings that respond to their climate and region can have. Traditional and vernacular buildings, constructed before fossil fuels were in widespread use, required active participation of building occupants to manage and control their comfort, health and productivity. But how do you control interior environments when the windows do not open, the curtain wall is sealed or there is no mechanical ventilation? This topic explored sites across the country that encounter high humidity – from the summers in the Midwest to the summers in the South East. Buildings such as Philip Johnson's Glass House, Mies van der Rohe's Farnsworth House, Frank Lloyd Wright's Pope-Leighey House, an O'Neill Ford house in San Antonio and NCPTT's headquarters in Natchitoches, LA were reviewed. These presentations were videotaped and will be posted on this site once they are up.
Remaking the of Epitome of Suburban Sprawl Into an Urban Oasis
Something's happened to downtown Houston in the past five years. A light rail opened. Vacant downtown office buildings have become lofts and boutique hotels. A Brutalist theatre is receiving a LEED Gold makeover. The museum district is a real neighborhood which can be reached from downtown for $1.25 on the light rail. The museums include buildings by Mies van der Rohe (a wing of the Museum of Fine Arts, the only museum he designed in America), Rafael Moneo (another wing of the Museum of Fine Arts), Venturi Scott-Brown and Associates (Children's Museum), Ralph Appelbaum Associates (Houston Holocaust Museum), a Noguchi-designed Sculpture Garden, and Gunner Birkarts (Contemporary Arts Museum). A new Steven Holl museum is also in the works.
Just a 10 minute walk towards downtown is a secondary Museum and university district called Midtown with masterpieces by Renzo Piano (the Menil Collection and the Cy Twombly Gallery) and Philip Johnson (University of St. Thomas and Rothko Chapel). The Docomomo US Conference was held at the University of St. Thomas and the Menil Collection, inspiring places to discuss modernism.

i understand the point you're trying to make and the animation is really good. but my problem is that, video games in my humble opinion, are art and even though you may be dumping in a ton of time into them, it REALLY is just about finding a balance. I'm in highschool, i have a 3.2 GPA, on the cross country team and chorus, have a social life, a girlfriend,and STILL have time for video games. But to go back to my first point. They having meaning to me by being art. they're like say, a painting or a movie or a book. They deserve to be looked at and analyzed as high art. Now sure, not every game is going to be an incredible master piece. but there are games that are, such as dark souls or bioshock. I think of them as high art and will continue to game regardless of what anyone tells me. Because it brings people together, makes me happy, makes me more creative, and is art that should be studied.

Your animation was very touching. So much so that I felt compelled to log into an account I haven't used in years. I felt the need to re-activate this old, dusty thing. I am a gamer, I've been playing games for most of my life; from age 4, and ever since. Your story made me think. It made me question my way of life. It made me contemplate if the way I'm living my be wrong in some way. I felt close to tears halfway through, just thinking of all the time I've been wasted. You made excellent points. Towards the end, you said you found things relating to Penny Arcade con, and went on to explain some - in my opinion - good points about being a gamer. While it does take time, and it can make you persuade yourself to push aside important things for it, It is still an extremely entertaining hobby. Then there's the community. When you're not getting yelled at by prepubescent boys I find the community to be a very welcoming, very friendly place. The conventions put together to help the gaming, anime, manga and comic communities come together are amazing, they help develop new friendships, even new relationships in some cases.Anyway, your animation was extremely moving and thought-provoking. I thank you, sincerely, for making me question my lifestyle where others have not been able to. I will most certainly keep your words in my head, and try to change the way I act sometimes, especially where important things such as family and my girlfriend are concerned.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
I think some people are not getting the point of this flash. It is HIS opinion and close to the end he does point out how games do effect people positivley by bringing people together and creating friendships. He is judging no one. Just sharing his personal experience so why are some of the commentors judging him? Thank you for sharing this flash with us. I think it is well done and in some cases yes, people can become addicted to games in an unhealthy manner they aren't weak willed per say....it just sometimes takes control

New York Times bestseller Christina Dodd brings you her classic Western novella, WILD TEXAS ROSE.
Jumping Jehoshaphat, Rose was nude! Not a stitch on! Bare-beamed and buck-naked! In the open, in full daylight, without a shred of self-consciousness or guilt.
Thorn gulped. What a woman. What . . . a . . . woman.
Was that a rifle she was holding?
Oh God, it was.
She had her Winchester, and her hands were mighty steady. And she'd called him a bastard — the first curse word he'd ever heard her use. Deep in his gut, he had the ugly suspicion she would, without remorse, shoot him through the heart.
He'd better think fast.
But she was naked!
WILD TEXAS ROSE is a Western historical novella of approximately 120 pages/33,000 words. Read it now on Kindle, Nook, Kobo and iTunes!

Gearing up for "American Idol's" 12th season premiere on January 16, Randy Jackson, Nicki Minaj, Keith Urban, Mariah Carey, and Ryan Seacrest gra
As they get ready to celebrate a new year, celebrities took to Twitter to share their plans, pics and wishes with their fans.
New mom Snooki, who will be working New Year's Eve, tweeted a photo of her little guy decked out in party gear, while Twilight's Nikki Reed spends her evening in a thumb war.
He's always up to something, and Ryan Seacrest dropped by ABC Studios in New York City today (December 28) for an appearance on "Good Morning America."
The "American Idol" host looked dapper as he discussed his upcoming gig emceeing "Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin Eve" next week for the first time since Clark's death.
Picking up some last minute presents, Julianne Hough and Ryan Seacrest went shopping in Beverly Hills, CA on Saturday (December 22).
The former "Dancing with the Stars" pro looked boho chic in a black fedora, pattern cardigan, and mustard-yellow skinny jeans, while her E! News beau went casual in jeans and a zip-up sweatshirt.
Getting fans into the spirit of the holidays, the stars were on hand for the second night of Los Angeles' Jingle Ball held at the Nokia Theatre on Monday (December 3).
Still enjoying their post-Thanksgiving Mexican vacay, Julianne Hough and Ryan Seacrest strolled the beaches of Cabo on Saturday (November 24).
The "Rock of Ages" actress showed off her trimmed and toned beach bod in a floral-print bikini, while her E! News beau rocked shorts, a polo, and a fedora, while walking hand-in-hand past the eager shutterbugs.
Deciding not to step out into the Black Friday foray, Julianne Hough and Ryan Seacrest opted for a post-Thanksigivng vacation in Mexico on Friday (November 23).
The "American Idol" host and his main squeeze both rocked their warm weather best, arriving at one of their favorite resorts before meeting up with a friend for a delicious lunch.
Fully immersing themselves in Tuesday's political festivities, the stars took to the polling booths and Twitter to sound off on the Presidential election.

At the broadest level, it's fair to say that urban mobility didn't have the most encouraging day. In recent years, conservative transportation policy has been much more inclined to favor highways serving rural and outer suburban regions than alternative modes that boost balanced city networks [...] But at the city and county level, where most transit initiatives occur, the midterms yielded a number of big victories, in keeping with the general success of transit ballot measures in recent years. — citylab.com
Before the end of this year, the Federal Highway Administration will release its own guidance on designing protected bike lanes.
The agency's positions on bicycling infrastructure has matured in recent years. Until recently, U.S. DOT's policy was simple adherence to outdated and stodgy manuals like AASHTO's Green Book and FHWA's own Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) — neither of which included protected bike lanes. — usa.streetsblog.org
With views of the downtown skyline, the $1.1 billion new Indianapolis airport has been celebrated for its sense of place, and for treating its passengers as "guests," much the way the hotel industry does. It has its own civic plaza, a light-filled central space with 35-foot ceilings that functions as the nexus of activity—every passenger, whether arriving or departing, passes through—where half of all the airport's shops and restaurants reside. [...]
What is Indy doing right? — citylab.com
Tilikum Crossing is the nation's first multi-modal bridge that will be off-limits to private automobiles. It will carry MAX light rail trains (the impetus for construction) as well as Portland's streetcar line and city buses, and of course pedestrian and bike lanes on both sides—but no cars. [...]

Fleets of self-driving lorries could be tested on UK roads as soon as next year, according to reports. [...]
The initiative would cut fuel consumption, backers said.
However, the plan has been criticised by motoring groups which said such a fleet would be "intimidating" to other road users. — bbc.com
Ridescout, the "Kayak of ground transportation" that aggregates over 300 rideshare services, announced today that it will integrate carpooling into its app. This move comes on the heels of recent announcements from Uber and Lyft, which on the same day earlier this month revealed they would gradually begin to allow their users to carpool. While ridesharing has up to this point been a mostly single-user service, Ridescout's announcement reinforces a general trend toward multi-user integration. — urbanful.org
Today, Uber is announcing UberPool, a new feature that will let you pick up other riders on the way to your destination and split the bill.
While the feature should do a lot to cut costs for passengers, not everyone will want to ride with a stranger in addition to the driver picking them up; Uber notes that the new feature also serves as a kind of "social experiment." [...]
Starting August 15 a public beta will launch in the San Francisco Bay Area. — techcrunch.com
Central Atlanta Progress, a nonprofit corporation of Atlanta business leaders, has released the documents from a recent assessment of Downtown Atlanta parking. They include reports on the existing parking situation and recommendations for "improving the customer parking experience in Downtown Atlanta." [...]
The first sting was felt when I read this nugget from the report:
A person's first and last impression of a city begins and ends with parking.
Ouch! I beg to differ. — ATL Urbanist
With so many crossovers in private operations, public data, and private uses, our future transit agency would blur the line between public and private sectors in a way we haven't yet pioneered. The challenge is one of governance, bureaucratic turf, organizational development, planning, and public policy, not simply one of technology. Technology is just a tool, and our human institutions can either make use of it or try to ignore it. — urbanomnibus.net
The wisdom of surrounding transit stations with "seas" of park-and-ride lots may be turning. In theory, park-and-ride seems like a great transportation compromise, converting full-trip drivers into part-trip riders. In practice, the opposite often occurs, with former non-drivers now commuting part of the way by car.
That unexpected practical shift can increase vehicle miles traveled in a metro area, subverting the sustainability goal of transit. — citylab.com
Cars offer more than just convenience: they can give lower income Americans an economic leg up. [...]
While tracking households that had participated in two federal housing voucher programs, [a study] found that car owners were twice as likely as transit users to find jobs and four times likelier to retain them. Car-owning households were also able to locate near better neighborhoods and schools. This reaffirmed previous work ... arguing that car ownership plants the seeds for upward mobility. — thedailybeast.com
The just-elected new Mayor of Paris, Madame Anne Hidalgo, has prepared a revolutionary sustainable mobility project whereby virtually all of the streets of the city will be subject to a maximum speed limit of 30 km/hr.
The only exceptions in the plan are a relatively small number of major axes into the city and along the two banks of the Seine, where the speed limit will be 50 km/hr, and the city's hard pressed ring road (périphérique) [...]. — World Streets: The Politics of Transport in Cities
New bike lanes certainly make life better for cyclists, but how do they affect drivers? This question is hotly debated, especially when a new bike lane replaces a lane used by vehicular traffic.

The Paris Métro, opened in 1900, extends over more than 200 kilometers of track, serving more than 300 individual stops. But there are 11 more stations that, though once built, now stand nearly abandoned. Many of these "ghost" or "phantom" stations shuttered after the occupation during WWII. [...]

US Antimony Reports Third Quarter Financials And Operating Developments
United States Antimony Corporation ("USAC", NYSE MKT "UAMY") reports a loss of $175,125 on revenues of $2,655,123 for the quarter ended September 30, 2012. John Lawrence, Chief Executive Officer commented, "Due to the expenses and capital expenditures for mining, milling, and smelter equipment and new general and administrative expense incurred in the quarter, the Company is now entering a sustained period of production growth and revenue from its facilities in the United States and in Mexico."
The Company's main supplier of antimony and precious metals for processing in Montana has begun to significantly increase its feed in Q4 and will continue through 2013 and 2014. The Company's smelter at Thompson Falls, which has a capacity in excess of 10 million pounds per year of antimony oxide, has the capacity to meet this customer's needs. The Company's zeolite division was awarded a second nuclear remediation contract for the Chalk River Nuclear Plant in Ottawa, Canada.
MEXICAN OPERATIONSRaw material supply Milling and smelting raw material supplies remain plentiful in Mexico from the Los Juarez antimony-silver-gold property and other antimony properties that have begun to gear up their production due to the Company's Puerto Blanco mill and Madero smelter. Mexican mines produced more than 35 million pounds of antimony metal contained during World War II. A forty foot high face has been cut at the Los Juarez deposit to provide more than 8,000 tons of mill feed. Five other faces have been prepared. New analytic equipment now provides assays of mill and mine samples in minutes. It will be a major advantage for mine control. Milling at Puerto Blanco The initial 150 ton per day antimony flotation mill is now operating 20 hours per day and will be increased to 24 hours per day shortly. A new gravity circuit for oxide feed will add 75 to 100 tons per day of capacity to the Puerto Blanco mill and is expected in to start in 2012. A site has been selected for the Company's 500 ton per day mill, currently located in Montana. Permitting and transportation of the new mill will begin in 2012.

SALINA, Kan. (AP) -- A pilot and co-pilot are out of a job after a small commuter plane landed at the Salina Regional Airport last week without landing gear.
The two were the only ones on the SeaPort Airlines plane when it made the belly landing last Friday. Their names were not released. No one was injured.
Seaport, a federally subsidized commercial air carrier, announced Wednesday that the company found the incident was caused by pilot error. Seaport president and CEO Rob McKinney said investigators found nothing wrong with the plane, and that proper landing procedures were not followed.
The Salina Journal reports the Federal Aviation Administration and National Transportation Safety Board investigating are still investigating the landing.

State helps students develop personalized learning plans
Updated On: Jan 29 2014 06:46:17 PM EST
The Vermont Education Agency has launched a new website to help schools and students develop personalized learning plans.
Gov. Peter Shumlin and education officials discussed the new statewide initiative Wednesday at Champlain Valley Union High School.
Based on legislation passed last year, each student will have a personalized learning plan that matches career interests with their learning, and could include internships and college courses.
"The key to the personalized plan is taking the time to sit down with a student and ask where do you want to go, and find out the best way to get there," said Rebecca Holcombe, the state education secretary.
Each middle and high school will develop plans starting with seventh and ninth graders in 2015. Plans will be reviewed and possibly revamped each year.

This action game borrows heavily from the suspense-horror movie genre and features intense combat and an ambient soundtrack.

We are roughly two months away from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau transferring into the Federal Reserve.

This would upset the mission of the CFPB and reduce safety for consumers. The Administration [...]

Bill 2/21/2013This sensor is in the coolant overflow reservoir. so if reservoir full of coolant drains back into radiator like it is supposed to do and you have a leak (otherwise why would you be filling) the system is telling you low reservoir, please fill.
Ozzie 5/13/2013Check to see if you have a sensor on your radiator if you do that is your problem.

Humans seek balance in their lives. When things are out of order or imbalanced, it tends to cause problems. This is true particularly with regard to our internal state or well-being. Homeostasis refers to this tendency to maintain a balanced or constant internal state that is optimal for functioning. For example, you have a specific "balanced" or "normal" body temperature that is approximately 98.6 degrees. When there is a problem with the internal functioning of your body, this temperature may increase, signaling and imbalance. As a result, your body attempts to solve the problem and restore homeostasis; your normal body temperature.

Breath test: More things to do with your phone

This week has been extremely stressful.
There was major drama at work regarding a new employee I had trained. It started last week when I let my frustration show that she wasn't doing as I expected. It was a minute head shake but she saw it. This led to her calling me out on it in front of 4 other coworkers and reception area patients (which is completely inappropriate). Since the incident, she has gone to my manager and told her that I was bossy, condescending and I let my lead position go to my head. . . yada yada. She has even bad mouthed me to a doctor I am really close with. Of course, all of this is getting back to me because I have worked with my company for 2 years and everyone knows that I'm really not the things she says I am.
We finally had a sit down meeting on Wednesday with our manager to discuss everything and clear the air. The conclusion is that she didn't feel very supported in her training and she realizes that it's not my fault because of all the extra duties I have to do now and during the time of her training. I also did not feel supported in training her because we were short 2 or 3 people and the office was super busy. Ok, then. She also was unclear about some of the specifics on doing things. Why her concerns warranted her spreading these tidbits about me, only she knows. I am a person who despises drama and people who spread it. If she thrives on drama then she will not last very long. We'll see what happens on next weeks episode of "Dental Office Dramatics!!"
The second thing, on Thursday I found out my sister in law is leaving her boyfriend whom she has two kids with. One is 2 and one is 4 months. She also has a 10 year old whose dad committed suicide last October. She is definitely alone in this with 3 kids. That being said, I haven't had any contact with her in over 3 years because of said boyfriend. A little back story: Her and I have been friends and have known each other for 21 years. She is a very strong minded person and is going to do what she wants. There were things said and such and we have been on the outs since. The boyfriend is bad news. He is very manipulative and mean. She is finally realizing this and wants to get out. My husband says she may call me and try to patch things up. I don't know if this is because she wants to or she realizes that we are the only ones who can help. Either way, I don't feel like it will be sincere because of the timing. I feel kind of on edge about the whole thing. I want the best for her and the kids but I don't want a relationship with her. She always find's a way to blame me for parts of her life and I feel like she is going to do this again at some point. I'm not sure what to do if she calls me. I guess I'll hear her out and say what I need to say.
Anyway, the point of my rambles is: with all the added stress this week, I have not turned to food. I have not went over board and binged on everything I could get my hands on. I've stayed within my calorie range everyday this week. Before sparkpeople, I would have stuffed my feelings down with food. I love that in the past year I have somehow learned to cope without binging. It wasn't something I was actively seeking to learn but just came about with all the other knowledge I have gained through out the past year. Thank you SP!
Happy New Year spark friends! I thought I'd write a quick, little diddy ( ) about my plans for 2012. There are a few things that I want to happen in 2012:
1. Reach my goal weight! I'm currently at 217 and my goal was 130. A personal trainer told me, however, that I should get to about 145 based on body fat percentage yada yada. So my goal is now 145 and that means I have 72 pounds to go! Definitely doable!
2. Take a vacation with my hubby! In the (almost) 10 years we've been together we've NEVER been on a vacation. No honeymoon. Sad ? Yes. We are working on getting our spending in check and going to Aruba in November!!!!! Aruba, Aruba, Aruba!! (I should make a goal collage for this. . . hmmm palm trees!
3. Quit smoking. I've quit once; I can do it again!!
Those are the biggin's. I hope that all my wishes are granted in 2012. Unfortunately, there is no genie from a bottle to make them come true. Only me and hard work and determination!! Good luck to everyone in 2012!
So I realized this morning that I've been with Sparkpeople for one year. My first food was tracked on 12/15/10! I didn't really get going with the site until April this year but I was still tracking food for 4 months. There are a few things I could've done differently during this year. I could've been a more active blogger. But it's just not something I find myself really enjoying. I like doing it here and there to let everyone know how I'm doing. I do find that it keeps me more involved and I do love reading other sparkers blogs. And I could have been on the message boards more.
I could've been better at tracking food some days. There were some times where I wouldn't track for a couple of days. I also slacked on exercise for the last couple of months (and boy am I feeling it this morning from getting back into the gym). Part of it was because I had no gym membership but that's no excuse.
I could've lost more weight and that ties back to getting in the gym and making sure I track everyday.
Even with the things I could've done better or more of, this year has taught me that there is no "right way" to lose weight. Even with my slacking, I'm 49 pounds lighter than I was last year (267 in Dec. 2010). Even with my slacking, I haven't gained any weight back. I'm still the same weight I was 2 months ago (when I let it all get away from me, stressful time in life too). This is definitely a journey and learning experience and it's not always going to be smooth sailing. I've averaged .9 lbs lost per week and I can be happy with that.
To all of you who get discouraged: it doesn't matter what kind of success you have. Whether you lose 15, 40, or even 90 lbs, only track food, or only get to the gym 3 times a week, at least you're making an effort. And that's what we should be proud of.
I can't believe it is already September. Where the heck did summer go? I feel like I was WAY busier this summer then I have been in summers past, which is a good thing. Being busy did not help in the weight loss department however. July and August were dismal as far as numbers being lost. I'm ramping it up in September though. My hubby and I just started training for a Turkey Day 5k! I'm super excited. My goal is to finish it in 40 mins or less, which I think is completely doable. Right now I can do about a 16 min mile but that is with a majority of it walking. I also started reading a couple of health food books and I'm hoping that helps a lot with me finding a larger variety of foods to eat. I'm still going strong on tracking calories. Woot! I just have to be more consistent with workouts which is what I'm focusing on in September. Here's to weight loss!!
I had a SUPER great day today!! My honey and I went out for a date into downtown Minneapolis. We went to a gourmet restaurant that I haven't been to before. I obviously went over my calories for the day but I made sure to stay at the low range of my calories this past week because I knew I would go over today. The food was wonderful! I did find myself mentally cataloging the ingredients in my meal and estimating how much of each was used. I may still be off on my tracking but at least I attempted to get close! After lunch we took a walk down by the Mississippi river and St. Anthony Falls. Then we walked our way into downtown to the mall (it's about a mile of street filled with shops) and back to the train station. It was all at least 4 miles. I'm hoping that helped with the indulgent lunch!
This week was wonderful. I had a little bit of a bad day on Wednesday but I'm over it. I started doing the 30 day shred this week to mix up my exercise routines. My thighs were SO sore after that first workout. I stepped on the scale this morning (like I do every morning) and I was 227.4 so I'm hoping this week's weigh in on Tuesday for the BLC #11 will be WAY better than it has been the last couple weeks. Tomorrow is supposed to be super nice so my hubby and I have planned to go for another walk down by the Minnesota river this time. We love river walking!

text: 5 Just when you thought they were lost forever....Dan777 | 25/10/2008 | See all Dan777's reviews (1)I'll start by saying that this quite possibly a contender for metal album of the year - any of you that had thought Cradle had lost it after their last 2-3 albums please read on.For me - Vempire, Dusk and her Embrace and Cruelty and the Beast were by far cradles best efforts - Midian and all subsequent releases didn't cut it for me and I'd essentially lost faith in the band. This release changes all that.Yup it really is that good.Lets start with the lineup - they have finally recruited a drummer who can fill Nic B's shoes. New boy Martin Skaroupka was clearly influenced by Nics playing (without sounding like a ripoff) and makes the whole band just gel like they haven't for years. Technically the band has not sounded so accomplished since..... Well possibly ever.Paul A's playing is at times completely mind blowing and the new keyboardist does a good job. Not as good as Damien or Lector but decent all the same.Though the number of "movements" per song can be overwhelming but that's what I loved about this band in the first place - less verse,chorus,verse is certainly a move I've appreciate.Subject matter for the album is based on the life and actions of an aristocratic serial killing occult obsessed 15th century Frenchman named Gilles de Rais. Its another concept album like Cruelty and Damnanation and a Day, which is something cradle seem to do rather well, and certainly lends to their theatrical grandiose nature.In terms of comparisons to their earlier works its a bit of a tricky one - I've heard people compare it to Cruelty and Midian which I suppose is just about relevant but I'd say its slightly more akin to Damnation and a Day - just far higher quality with echoes (thanks to the new drummer) of Cruelty.All in all a fantastic return to form which has certainly revived my hopes for a band I'd long since lost faith in.
