Why Adoption is a Great Option
Banjo, a Elyria Australian Cattle Dog/Husky dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Australian Cattle Dog/Husky for sale in Elyria, or seeking a Australian Cattle Dog/Husky dog from a breeder in Elyria.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Elyria already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Elyria breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Australian Cattle Dog/Husky breeders who help with Australian Cattle Dog/Husky rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Elyria paves the way for another one to be saved.

Exclusive social media site BeautifulPeople.com is now offering its 750,000 members a way to use their looks to find employment with its new recruitment service.
The company, which launched more than 10 years ago, allows members to vote on the admission of potential members based on their looks. It is now allowing any company to post job listings on its site, and allowing certain firms on a case-by-case basis to target particularly good-looking members.
Miki Haines, head of publicity for BeautifulPeople.com, said casting directors, agents and other entertainment companies would contact the company asking to send notifications about auditions and reality show opportunities.
"We've been doing that via email for quite some time and getting quite good responses," she said. "We thought, 'Why not make this more official as a resource for more companies?'"
Before the company launched the recruitment service, many members were already using the site for networking, and not just dating.
The company has sparked its share of controversy for kicking out "ugly" users and launching a "virtual sperm and egg bank."
Like its largely American membership base, the majority of the job listings so far are from American companies. Members hail from 190 countries, the company said. It has about 30 employees, mostly based in Los Angeles and Denmark.
Within the first 48 hours of launching on Monday, the recruitment site had about 80 job listings, the majority of which were in sales.
"The site is very much growing in the direction our community guides us to," Haines said. "We didn't know [that in] 10 years we were going to offer career opportunities. It's gone that way because the economy is doing better."
Members can sign up and respond to job listings for free, but to email other members, the six-month subscription is $14 per month. For three months, it's $ 20 per month. For one month, it's $25.
It's free to sign up to attend BeautifulPeople.com events, though some involve paying for tickets, Haines said.
Dominic Pietrangelo, CEO of real estate company Urban Homes Group in Los Angeles, was one of the first companies to list on the recruitment page. He currently has a listing for an assistant and a real estate agent on BeautifulPeople.com and has plans to hire more people.
Listing jobs on the website is free, but a team validates job postings to make sure they are real career opportunities.
"The site has enemies, obviously," said Haines, who is based in London. "Some people don't like the site, so we get a lot of weird emails. We just want to make sure it's a legitimate inquiry."
Pietrangelo said the real estate market in the Hollywood Hills is "very competitive."
"We're fishing to see if we can get some qualified people, and I think it would be a good benefit for everybody," he said.
While Pietrangelo is not a member of the site, his sister, a fashion model who works at the real estate agency, is.
When asked why he decided to list on the site, Pietrangelo said, "It's pretty simple."
He summed up the reasoning by noting that someone once told his sister, with Pietrangelo standing next to her, "I would rather drive around with you in a car than him."
Pietrangelo said he tried to sign up to become a member of BeautifulPeople.com about a year and a half ago, but was told he was not accepted within two hours.
"I'm the one who told my sister about the site," Pietrangelo said. "I guess I'm not the prettiest. It didn't hurt my feelings. I'm happily married."

When you begin to notice sloppy steering on your 1963-1976 Corvette, the relay rod is often overlooked as a possible culprit. However, it can be one of the leading causes of an ill-feeling steering wheel.
Because it's located near the front tire, the relay rod gets lots of abuse and gets hit by a lot of road debris. You can overhaul your relay rod with a new 1963-1976 Corvette Steering Relay Rod Rebuild Kit from Zip, which includes everything needed for a complete refurbishing.
The most difficult part of this rebuild is actually removing the relay rod from your Corvette. It is possible to rebuild the relay rod still in the vehicle, if you prefer not to remove it. This project will only take about an hour, assuming the relay rod is already removed from your Corvette. In addition to your rebuild kit, you will need a 5/16-inch socket and wrench, a large flat-bladed screwdriver and some MAPP gas, available from any hardware store. Not everyone will need to heat the relay rod, so try yours first before buying the MAPP gas. You'll also need some heavy-duty bearing grease.
Follow along with our technical article 1963-1967 Corvette Steering Relay Rod Rebuild as we rebuild our project Corvette's relay rod, which was almost completely worn out. You'll find step-by step instructions and photos that will help you get the job done right.
Note: You may also want to consider a steering box rebuild in addition to the relay rod. It's best to do both of these at the same time; that way you only have to pay for one front end alignment. Don't worry – we can walk you through that project as well with our technical article 1963-1982 Corvette Steering Box Rebuild. This is also a good time to replace the idler arm assembly. Tackle all 3 of these projects and your Corvette's steering system is almost entirely rebuilt!

From dreaming, researching, booking, experiencing, to sharing – Google products connect with travelers at all stages of the online travel journey. Yesterday's ReviewPro's webinar "Google for Hotels" promised a deep dive into the world of Google as it relates to hotel marketing.
When moderator Daniel Edward Craig, Google's David Zammitt, and HeBS Digital's Margaret Mastrogiacomo walked webinar participants through the different Google products and how they integrate with each other, it became quickly apparent that ranking high with Google isn't just about SEO anymore. It involves a coordinated distribution of hotel content on a range of Google products, like Search, Maps, Local, Hotel Finder, Google+ and YouTube.
Clearly, Google's geography above the fold is radically changing, making way for hotel paid, owned and earned content to become more prominently featured, yet taking users more frequently back to Google properties rather than offsite (for more on that topic read also "Google's Carousel for hotels – trapped in Google's world?").
One way for hotel marketers to deal with these changes is by developing a coherent content marketing strategy that delivers a consistent message using the Google products available to connect with travelers along their online travel journey.
Google Hotel Finder is a good example as it includes owned and earned content from Google+ Local and Google Maps (photos, descriptions, reviews), as well as paid content from Hotel Price Ads, and is highly visible across different Google products.
Another example are verified Google+ Pages, which for hotels with high Google search volume can lead to additional real-estate on the right hand side of Google search results, increasing the hotels visibility within Google and therefore likelyhood for direct bookings.
Another benefit of an actively managed Google+ Page is Google reviews getting annotated to website links (social annotations), which according to Google data can increase website traffic by 5-10%.

Retailers can be penalized thousands of dollars for failing to post correct prices on their merchandise even if there is no proof they intended to deceive their customers, the Arizona Court of Appeals ruled Thursday.
In a unanimous ruling involving AutoZone, the judges ruled that the simple fact that a price on a shelf is wrong does not, by itself, violate the state's Consumer Fraud Act. They said there has to be some showing that the mispricing was "voluntary.''
But the judges said the once the state showed that prices were missing or wrong, then it is up to the retailer to prove it did not voluntarily violate the law.
That conclusion disappointed attorney Tim Berg who represented the Arizona Retailers Association.
"That seems backwards to us,'' he said. For example, Berg said that puts a company accused of failing to post prices in the position of having to present evidence that a particular store has a perennial problem with customers removing the price tags from the shelves.
Berg said the retailers got involved because of the implications of the fight on all Arizona merchants.
An attorney for AutoZone declined to comment on the ruling.
At the root of the dispute is a 1993 law requiring price posting.
Arizona used to require that prices be stamped on each item. But state legislators, responding to retailer complaints of costs and noting the availability of scanners, agreed to scrap that mandate.
In exchange, however, stores agreed to abide by new laws that require the price of every item to be posted on the shelf or near each display. That law also requires that the prices that are rung up by scanners match those shelf prices.
During a five-year period beginning in 2001, the state Department of Weights and Measures levied fines of $170,000 against AutoZone after finding repeated violations at its more than 90 stores in Arizona.
In 2006, though, then state Attorney General Terry Goddard filed suit. He said the fines apparently have failed to get the firm to comply with the law, with the company considering the penalties a "cost of doing business.''
His ammunition is the state's Consumer Fraud Act, which carries penalties of $10,000 per violation. That could add up to real money, with the state alleging 806 incidents of mispriced items and 2,814 items with no price at all, something Goddard called "systematic fraud against the consumer.''
Attorneys for AutoZone convinced a Maricopa County Superior Court judge to throw out the case based on the failure of the state to prove the company intended to misprice items. But Judge Patricia Norris, writing for the Court of Appeals, said that's not what the law requires.
On one hand, Norris said a company cannot be found guilty of violating the Consumer Fraud Act simply based simply on the fact that prices were wrong or missing entirely.
But the judge said that once the state offers that evidence, the burden shifts to the retailer to prove that the violation was not voluntary.
In this case, she said, the state met its minimum requirement. Now it is up to AutoZone to prove otherwise, something that requires going to trial.
The judges also rejected the contention by AutoZone that the failure to post a price -- versus posting a wrong one -- cannot be considered fraud.
"When the law imposes a duty to disclose certain information, the failure to disclose the information can constitute an affirmative deception,'' Norris wrote. In fact, she said that, based on what already has come out in court, the company's failure to put prices on items was "deceptive as a matter of law.''
"Ultimately, when a store offers goods for sale without a posted price, consumers cannot know the actual price of the good until they are at the register and thus they will be unable to compare prices while shopping,'' she said. But Norris said AutoZone will be entitled to prove their acts were not voluntary at trial.
The court also rejected the company's contention that the fines being sought under the Consumer Fraud Act are duplicative of penalties already levied by Weights and Measures. Norris said the first fines AutoZone paid were for the simple fact of mispriced or unpriced items; this lawsuit is based on willful violations of the law, as shown by a pattern of conduct.

Esquire's 20 Best New Restaurants of 2009
At a time when most people think twice about spending a lot of money to dine out, American restaurateurs and chefs have never made it more inexpensive or more exciting. Herein, the top dining that top chefs had to offer this year.

The Bazaar, Los Angeles
The Bazaar is chef José Andrés's masterpiece. At least so far. With designer Philippe Starck, he has fashioned a vast, shadowy space that includes a swanky bar, a patisserie with acres of sweet-filled glass cases, a chef's tasting room, a shopping emporium by Moss, the Manhattan design mecca, and two glamorous flanking dining areas where Andrés has poured everything he knows about tapas into a menu that marries regional culinary traditions with his formidable creativity.

Blue Ridge, Washington, D. C.
Eat a few dishes prepared by Esquire chef of the year Barton Seaver, thirty, and you'll feel good about living on earth: aged country ham, a perfect chicken potpie with hot rosemary-flecked biscuits, sweet-potato fritters with honey mustard. Listen to him talk about how to save us all from destroying America's food chain (and ourselves in the process) and you'll feel even better about it.

Paces 88, Atlanta
I hope the St. Regis management (which put less-than-packed Alain Ducasse run restaurants in its New York City and D. C. hotels) knows just how wonderful Paces 88 is. Its culinary team melds French-American and southern culinary traditions into seamless cuisine that befits both the hotel's deluxe trappings and Atlanta's eminence as a southern city.

Sho Shaun Hergatt, New York
Australian chef Shaun Hergatt's dishes have always been showpieces. At his new restaurant, they become artistic achievements. If you were to have just one dish at SHO spiced double-duck consommé with ravioli filled with chicken and black truffles you'd see how it succeeds the way people say the best modern-dance ensembles succeed: Each element is perfect on its own while also enhancing the rest.

L'Albatros Brasserie & Bar, Cleveland
Walleye. In classic French cooking, this dish would be "lobster with pike quenelles," but, says Bruell, "I wanted to reverse the ingredients."
Sauce Americaine a classic nineteenth-century sauce made from lobster carcass, tomato, brandy, and a half pound of butter."
Lobster Quenelles. French quenelles, usually made with pike, are dauntingly rich dumplings that Bruell makes with lobster meat, egg whites, heavy cream, and herbs, combined in a food processor to form a thick paste.

Lemaire, Richmond
Chef Walter Bundy grew up along the Chesapeake, plucking crabs from the bay and tomatoes from the family garden, and later applying those experiences to his cooking at the French Laundry, under Thomas Keller. Now, with the reopening of Lemaire, Bundy is pouring everything he knows and loves.

Society Café Encore, Las Vegas
At the new Wynn Encore, Steve Wynn has continued his practice of nailing chefs' clogs to the kitchen floors instead of simply buying a celebrity chef's name to put on the door. He hires people who cook.

Marea, New York
Michael White's menu at sleek, shimmering Marea begins with crudo fresh raw seafood drizzled with special oils. Pastas the spaghetti with crab, sea urchin with basil, and cavatelli in a shrimp ragù with beans taste as fresh as the air in Portofino. His entrées impress in one of two ways: with naked simplicity (grilled cuttlefish, for example), or with his expert composition.

Locanda Verde, New York
Robert De Niro regrouped, brilliantly hiring chef Andrew Carmellini to remake the premises into Locanda Verde "green inn." The result is a place whose nightly buzz is due to people having a wonderful time eating the heartiest Italian food and drinking handpicked Italian wines.

Paul Liebrandt made his name creating eccentric dishes eel with chocolate sauce, anyone? that led some to praise him as an innovator and others to dismiss him as a prankster.

Perla's Seafood and Oyster Bar, Austin
To look at, Perla's is no big deal, and that's exactly why it's an important restaurant. Austin-born co-owner Larry McGuire, twenty-six, set out to do nothing more or less than open a good-sized, amiable, bright Gulf Coast style seafood restaurant. But what makes it a big deal is that everything on the menu is done with such surprising care that it actually defines simple, wholesome goodness in American cooking.

Rivera, Los Angeles
It becomes very clear very quickly when a chef is having a ball, and John Sedlar is having a ball. You can tell by the fresh, hot tortillas with Yucatan-style charred-habanero "dog snout" salsa, named for the chiles that make your nose run like a Chihuahua's. But he is dead serious that Mexican food careful, high-end Mexican food should get as much respect as French and Italian cuisine.

Bottega, Yountville, Calif.
Michael Chiarello returns not only to the kitchen but to his roots, serving a menu including crudo, house-cured salumi, homemade pickled vegetables, polenta cooked in a jar, and a local sweet-sour eggplant-and-goat-cheese lasagnette with red-pepper-tomato sauce. His new food holds you in thrall, and it's served in a valley as beautiful as any on earth.

It isn't hard to guess after who the dumbo octopus is named after. He is named after his ear like fins, just like in the Disney film Dumbo where a little elephant is named after his enormous ears, with which he could fly!
Dumbo octopus is a Bentic deep sea creature, which lives on great depths, around 300 and 400 meters below surface. Dumbo octopus belongs to the genus of Grimpoteuthis, a genus which consists out of fourteen other similiar species. There is not known a lot about the Dumbo octopus and more research needs to be done. Dumbo octopus moves by using his ear like fins and arms. The reproduction happens by laying eggs and apparently the dumbo octopus hasn't a special breeding season and it feeds itself with little sea creatures like shrimps and worms.

I found myself cheering for the Ravens in this contest primarily because the thought of Randy Moss ever winning a Super Bowl ring would be too much to fathom. OK, that was only a partial reason. I also wanted to see if the Ravens were sharp enough to figure out what the Packers could not, a way to stop Colin Kaepernick and the 49ers read-option offense. I am not sure that the Ravens defense accomplished that, but Colin Kaepernick didnt play nearly as effectively as he did against the Packers and because of that, the 49ers came up a little short.
The Super Bowl is a conduit that connects the past season to the next. Soon Cheeseheads will be hearing about changes on the roster due to free agency, followed by the pre-draft evaluations of collegiate talent and the combine, and then the draft itself in April. The NFL is a full-time business these days and the evaluations by Ted Thompson and the Green Bay management team now take center stage.
Thompson needs to do a better job this spring than he did this past year, as the Packers need more defensive firepower than what was added to the roster last year. Picking up an impact player or two could reverse that trend in 2013. Methinks that the primary thing Thompson needs to do this off season is part ways with Charles Woodson. That may be tough to swallow for some Cheeseheads, as Woodson has had a fabulous career and is popular among both players and fans. He is also a leader. That said, he is well past his prime and makes way too much money that is needed to pay younger, more valuable players.
Once Woodson is cut loose, Thompson must re-engineer his defensive roster to get them competitive again. The draft is ripe with defensive linemen and linebackers. Thompson picked B.J. Raji and Clay Matthews III a couple years ago and he needs to find some similar talent to complement them to bring the Pack back to respectability.
The Packer Partisan has enjoyed twelve fun years of writing about the Green Bay Packers in the Winona Post, and it has been a fun ride commenting on the most awesome sports franchise in all of sports. Thanks, as always, to my loyal readers who know that the Pack will be back!

Spezzano said there are many ways to participate in trade shows. Some may elect to have a big presence on the floor, while others might choose to have zero presence on the floor and instead step up with sponsorships. Others may have no floor presence, no sponsorships, but only work the floor and cocktail parties.
And so while the conversation about the failed merger has ended, the adjustments by the industry in its roiling wake may have only just begun.

I recently wrote a legal commentary discussing the Supreme Court's 2010 decision in Skilling v. United States and its impact on the honest-services fraud statute, which was selected for publication in the summer 2010 issue of the South Texas Law Review (51 S. Tex. L. Rev. __).

*Special thanks to the following websites for helping promote my Comment:
Abstract: For over two decades federal prosecutors wielded a weapon of mass discretion in their fight against corruption: the honest-services fraud statute. Although prosecutors welcomed the statute's ambiguous text, judges, defendants, and scholars struggled for more than two decades to answer a number of difficult constitutional questions arising from the honest-services fraud theory. In 2010, the Supreme Court used Skilling v. United States - a case that chronicles the events that led to the epic collapse of former energy giant Enron - to defuse the Government's "weapon of mass discretion" by limiting honest-services fraud to cover only schemes involving bribery or kickbacks, thereby placing more subtle forms of dishonesty, such as undisclosed self-dealing, outside the statute's reach.
This Comment discusses the case's impact on the fallen Enron CEO's fight for freedom, in addition to its impact on two other petitioners who successfully challenged the honest-services fraud statute in 2010. I also examine the rights of the defendants whose convictions or plea agreements were premised on an application of the statute now declared unconstitutional, as well as analyze the decision's impact on pending and future cases of honest-services fraud.
Finally, I explain why Congress will likely supersede Skilling by amending § 1346 to expressly criminalize schemes involving an individual's failure to disclose their self-dealing; analyze the proposed "Honest Services Restoration Act" (HSRA), which was drafted to accomplish this goal; and conclude that, although not perfect, the proposed language contained in the HSRA adequately addresses the major constitutional concerns surrounding the use of honest-services fraud to prosecute undisclosed self-dealing.

Speaking at ASP.NET Connections in Las Vegas
I'll be speaking at the ASP.NET Connections conference next week in Las Vegas and always like to post the slides and content for those that come (and those who can't come). If you've never been it's a great conference that has a ton of in-depth content. It's definitely my favorite conference.
I'll be giving a pre-conference workshop on Silverlight and two other regular talks:
Slides and code can be downloaded from the above links.
Speaking on Silverlight and Web Services in Los Angeles Area
I'm going to be speaking on behalf of Interface Technical Training and INETA this week at two Los Angeles area user groups. The first talk is at Manhattan Beach, CA on October 2nd and will cover calling Web Services asynchronously in .NET 2.0. The next talk is at Buena Park, CA on October 3rd and will cover building Silverlight applications. More details about the talks are shown next.
Synchronous and Asynchronous Web Services in .NET 2.0
The advent of Web services has started a revolution that allows applications to communicate regardless of language or platform. This talk will discuss how synchronous and asynchronous calls can be made to Web services using features in .NET 2.0. The discussion will explain synchronous and asynchronous pros and cons and show the code necessary to use each technique in .NET applications.
Integrating Silverlight with ASP.NET AJAX and Web Services
This talk will discuss Microsoft's new Silverlight 1.0 technology and explore how you can use it to build rich Web-based applications. Throughout the talk you'll see the role that XAML plays, different XAML animation and transformation techniques, how JavaScript can be used to communicate with Silverlight objects, and how you can display data from different data sources including Amazon.com's Web Service using ASP.NET AJAX integration techniques.
If you're new to Silverlight and are looking to get a jump-start on the technology I'll start out by covering fundamental concepts and provide a step-by-step approach to building Silverlight applications. I'll then dive into a Silverlight application and discuss how it was created so that you can learn about several different Silverlight concepts by example.

The Maui Ocean Center is a combination aquariam and nature museum with many cool features and exhibits that will delight guests of all ages. As you follow through the path layed out at the Ocean Center, you get to see exhibits and habitats both outside and indoors, up close and personal. The variety of fish, plant, coral and other wildlife, and the way everything is mapped out in the museum, makes for a great experience. Add a few naturalists and scientists along the way taking the time to explain what you're seeing and answering any questions you have, and it completes the package.
Perhaps three of the most exciting exhibits at the Maui Ocean Center offer quite a distinct range of features. The first main indoor exhibit you enter is the Living Reef habitats. What's neat about this exhibit is that you get to explore living corla reefs and tropical fish that exist in various depths of the ocean. It starts off with the Shallow Reef, and continues to the Mid Reef and lastly the Deep Reef.
The next hot spot for visitors to the Ocean Center would have to be the Turtle Lagoon, which features the Hawaiian green sea turtles that snorkels see out in the costal waters all around the island. They swim in the waters right in front of you, and even pop their head up above water just like they do out in the ocean. For those that don't snorkel, you get to experience the honu (sea turtle) up close without getting wet.
The last truly "wow" exhibit would have to be the Open Ocean habitat directly after the Marine Mammal Discovery Center. Picture a giant open air swimming pool with multiple types of sharks, manna rays and about a hundred other types of fish, all right up close. Then put a clear, 54 foot tunnel through the middle of it and you can see the life of the ocean swimming in all directions around you. It's probably the best way to get just inches away from a shark and still live to tell about it.
We're not big water sport or even museum people, but we decided to add this activity to our list on our second trip to Maui just to check it out. It completely blew both of us out of the water (pardon the pun). The way the Living Reef exhibit was setup, going from the Shallow Reefs deeper into the Deep Reefs, with the lighting and the bright colors of coral and the fish, it was very interesting. With the darkness and the tranquil music within the building while walking through the displays, the atmosphere was very engaging.
Unfortunately, there was maintenance work being done on the Turtle Lagoon during our visit, so we didn't get to see "Ku'uipo" swimming around in his habitat exhibit. He was nearby, however, floating around in a little tub near the Hammerhead Harbor display, we still go to see the turtle up close and personal. After seeing them play in the waters outside our hotel from our balcony, we just had to pay this one visit.
The biggest thrill I got was from the shark tank, formally known as the Open Ocean exhibit. It was too cool seeing the different great white, hammerhead, and tiger sharks swimming around, circling in this large mock ocean surrounded by all sorts of other tropical fish swimming in large schools. There were also the manna rays that would swim by overhead and you could see their gills and what looks like a smiley face moving around as it swam.
Lastly, there was an ocean center employee swimming around in the tank with all the animals, cleaning around the acrylic tunnel and posing for pictures. Talk about hazard pay.

Robert's descent into worst character territory started off last season, when he -- annoyed because Cora wouldn't have lunch with him -- kissed the maid, Jane. But we forgave him because of his valiant "find a cowboy from the middle west" speech to Mary. This season, however, he's become such a cad.
His many crimes include causing Edith to be jilted at the altar, telling Matthew that they will be co-masters of Downton, then dismissing his heir's concerns about the management of the estate, insulting Edith when she received an offer to write a column, the entire Sir Philip Tapsell vs. Dr. Clarkson debacle, and a general refusal to let go of tradition.
And that brings us to tonight's episode. Cora wants nothing to do with Robert and still blames him for Sybil's death. Last week, she asked her eldest daughter to tell her husband to sleep in the dressing room. This week, the Countess is still not ready to let the Earl back into her bed. "You believed Tapsell because he's knighted and fashionable and has a practice at Harley Street. You let all that nonsense weigh against saving our daughter's life, which is what I find so very hard to forgive," a teary-eyed Cora tells her husband. "Do you think I miss her any less than you?" Robert asks. "I should think you miss her more. Since you blocked the last chance we had to prevent her death," she answers. Yikes. At least there are no maids, that we know of, for Robert to turn to.
While he is concerned with his wife and their marriage, he decides to focus on his son-in-law. He wants to kick Tom and the baby out as soon as possible. During breakfast, when Tom says he will leave Downton when he finds a job, the Earl agrees with this plan. "Tom's right. He has to start to make a life for himself sometime," Robert says, despite Edith and Matthew's attempts to get Tom to stay. But although Robert doesn't want Tom around, he does want to exert his influence on how his granddaughter is raised.
First, she shouldn't be baptized Catholic, like Tom says she will be. "The only chance that child will have of achieving anything in life is because of the blood of her mother," Robert squawks to Mary as they sit outside on the grounds. For her part, Mary disagrees with her father. At least the eldest Crawley daughter learned not to be such a snob.
Second, Robert takes issue with the name Tom has chosen to give her -- Sybil. "That's another thing. I think it's ghoulish to call her after Sybil," he shouts. Nothing pleases him these days.

Hi Everybody, Happy Summer (finally). Don't know this Sans.'s ID, one of the Baliis or Basebat Bat. Look what I found this morning, I don't think it even took 6 months (I forgot to make note). I've never propagated this super thick leaf type Sans before. One of those great things I sometimes do, stick into mix a leaf of something, set aside & forget & then one day, a lovely surprise. Oops, sorry for the blur, but say hello to the 2 little pups. Grown on west window, rarely watered, probably knocked out of the pot a time or two, largely ignored. Am curious to see if the pups' leaves will resemble the parent leaf or not. Fun stuff! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi Karen, Congrats on your new babies. I think this is my favorite time of year for sans. Love to see the new growth poking up thru the soil. |

Hi folks, Thanks for the nice words, yes it's encouraging & rewarding & fun. Here are some better pix, I'm a bit amazed these pups are coming up in multi-leafed rosettes. Somehow, I'm surprised how multi-leafed they are when still so small. |
Hi pirate_girl, Could this possibly be a Sansevieria fischeri (old name S. singularis)? Congrats on the pups! Fred |

Karen now it has roots, give it a larger container, with fast draining mix. It would welcome some food this time of the year and lots of water. Norma Lewis |
Karen, These are the juvenile stage of the plant. Our S. trifasciata usually don't do this. That's why some call hahnii the trifasciata that stayed a juvenile. Usually the tall big leaves will come from a rhizome growth from them. Very interesting. And great growing on your part. Stush |
- Posted by purpleinopp 8b AL (My Page) on Mon, Aug 4, 14 at 17:02
Two heads are better than one? LOL! I've popped in here before, thought I'd said something. Meant to, belated congrats! A nice looking new little clan! |
Stush is right. Could these little fellas possibly have come from seed? |
- Posted by cactusmcharris 4 / Interior BC (My Page) on Sat, Aug 9, 14 at 14:32
Karen asked me to convey her thanks for the compliments. She's away right now but will return. The plant in question has roots too small for repotting right now. Personally, I'd leave those pups until the mother plant is nearly engulfed. |
I agree with Jeff whole heartily. To remove them now could damage and even kill them. They need that leaf to continue to receive nourishment. No harm leaving them attached even for years. Stush |

Karen, I hope things are well with you. Missing you around here lately! - Tiffany |

Help me, I sound like a stalker.
To (awesome person),
Guard your secrets.
Kim Harrington
All in my amazing lefty penmanship.
Today I realized I'd need a new cool signing line for PERCEPTION. This time the cover's tagline is: Someone's watching.
But if I write:
To (awesome person),
I'm watching.
Kim Harrington
…that's kind of threatening.
Same with "Watch out," "Always watching," and various other lines I've come up with. They all make me sound like Stalker Author. So I'm opening it up to suggestions!
23 comments:
I've got it!!!
"I Always Feel Like...Somebody's Watching Me" and you can play the song while you introduce the book at signings. It's a total win!!
Patricia suggests "Constant Vigilance" which is from HP. Moody says it. But copyright laws and whatnot...
"Behold the truth."
Something that's like "look" and truth (since it's the sequel) is the opposite of secrets.
OR something like,
embrace the truth. or....hmmm...
I'll think some more.Love the suggestions! I like the idea of having them watch out. What about something to do with hiding? If someone's watching, they need to hide, yeah?
So the tagline is "Someone's watching."
What about something like, "Hide your secrets." or "Quick! Hide!"
Okay, these are both lame. I could erase this comment, but I'm not going to.
"Someone's watching."
Crap. I can't come up with anything.This post cracked me up! I'm sorry I'm not help at all. Do you know if you'll be in Denver this year? I'd love to see what line you use :).

Food porn: Shots from real Southeast Asian markets
When I ate at ChoLon Modern Asian Bistro for this week's Westword review, I was fascinated by how Lon Symensma and his partners, Jim and Alicia Deters, had reinterpreted the Southeast Asian market and turned it into a fine dining restaurant. And as I wrote the review, I referred frequently to the many photos I'd snapped of markets in Vietnam and Laos on a recent visit.Laura Shunk
The markets in Asia have a frenetic energy, and they inspire all kinds of culinary experiences. Here are my favorite moments -- from the beautiful to the ugly, the delicious to the incredibly strange -- captured in the markets I visited on the Indochina peninsula.
Laura Shunk Mekong fish on a roadside grill.

What is most impressive about the Actors Shakespeare Company's productions (aside from the fine ensemble work, skillful staging, and adept direction)is their courage to eschew trendy and superficial interpretive overlays and explore Sheakespeare's masterpieces with a sincere ambition to present their essence and let their genius shine in an honest and unpretentious way. In a theatrical age of hip-hop productions of Hamlet (as if that play's depth can be illuminated by flash, glitter, and bling) ASC avoids such creative exhaustion by returning to the source of the author's ability to present life in all its moving and vivid complexity. I always feel more alive after experiencing ASC's productions, and that's what great theater is all about.
More feedback
What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
the talent and enthusiasm and high creative standards of its cast and crew.
How frequently have you been involved with the organization?
About every six months
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?
Professional with expertise in this field & I viewed almost all of their productions since 2005 and spoke with their musical director about his contributions.

Things to think about
Before viewing
We often consider how environmentally friendly things like cars and buildings are, but have you ever thought about how 'green' the internet is?
How much time would you, your family and your friends spend using the internet each day?
As you view
Some big technology companies are rated 'brown' and others 'green'. What do these ratings mean?
How do the ratings relate to renewable and non-renewable sources of energy?
After viewing
Why will the amount of energy the internet uses increase in coming years?
The clip mentions two forms of renewable energy. Can you name them? What does renewable mean?
Next steps
Find out how electricity is generated in your region. Are the energy sources renewable or non-renewable?
Draw and label a picture that shows how electricity is supplied to your home or school. Include the source of the energy and describe why it is renewable or non-renewable.
VOICEOVER:How green is your internet? Every second of online video we watch puts 0.2 grams of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Doesn't sound like much, except that every day YouTube viewers get through two billion videos. At a conservative average of ten seconds each, that's around 4,000 tonnes of CO2. Earth's 44 million computer servers contribute almost 2% of the planet's carbon emissions. That's about the same as the aviation industry or a medium-sized country. Server farms, also known as data centres, consume more than 130 billion kWh a year using almost as much energy to cool servers as to power them. Last month, Greenpeace released a report called 'How dirty is your data?' which concluded that the tech industries' brownest companies are Apple and Facebook whose centres rely on coal-based electricity more than those of their rivals. The report ranked Yahoo and Google as the greenest. The big tech companies ARE concerned about their carbon footprint. The less electricity they burn, the lower their bills. Google and Facebook take up around 10% each of the world's server space. Facebook's newest data centre relies heavily on coal but is also mixing in wind and solar. Custom-built, it can conserve 2.5 million kWh a year saving 1,065 tonnes of carbon dioxide. Google's goal is to become carbon neutral. It has created Google Energy - a company that invests in renewable start-ups pumping more than 100 million dollars into wind farms, 350 million dollars into solar and 20 million dollars into Makani Power, a company that generates electricity by flying kites tapping into wind currents at altitudes wind turbines can't reach. But here's the question - with only a quarter of the world's population online, and our current internet use set to quadruple by 2014, there's a good chance any progress made with greening data centres will ultimately be swallowed up by our own appetite for all things digital.

Brad Keselowski on racing at Richmond International Raceway"I feel as though I have a good understanding of what I need to run well at Richmond and that makes it easy to communicate that to my crew chief and team. As a result, we've been able to put together some good finishes at Richmond. To me, it's the ultimate short track. There is a reason that most drivers put it right at the top of their list of favorite tracks. It's night racing, under the lights, which is similar to what most of us grew up doing. You can run side-by-side and rub fenders and do all of the things that the fans want to see. It's just an exciting racetrack and I feel like we can put the Discount Tire Dodge in Victory Lane this weekend."
Crew chief Jeremy Bullins on racing at Richmond"Richmond is a track that suits Brad's aggressive driving style. If your car is working like you want, you can really charge the corners because they are so wide and sweeping. Just like any short track, we'll make sure we keep forward bite in the car all night. Brad has been impressive at Richmond over the last couple of years. Personally I've enjoyed a lot of success at Richmond and look forward to the challenges the track presents. I'm confident we can contend for the win this weekend."

Real reviews, from customers like you.
Location was very secluded Not all activities were open such as land train Soft play area was very old and run down didn't like letting toddler play in there
All the staff that we met were extremely helpful and friendly. The holiday village itself was clean and had all the facilities that we required. Children enjoyed the pool and entertainment in the bar area. Had a nice brakfast in the cafe.
having stayed with you on several occasions this was the worst stay ever!! lodge was not prepared for our arrival even though paid early check in. The lodge provided was not as described online and in booking. on site facilities were expensive compared to local shops within 5 minutes. heating did not work to start at all and then there was no thermostat control, did not escalate this due to overall disgust and decision to write off and never return. as I was booker and had used you before I am very embarrassed bu the whole stay!!
Fantastic, had a great time..
Lovely surroundings. Quiet town but with couple of nice ppubs and nice place to sit by the water. Nice bar area with entertainment every night including bingo, race night and live Singer.
The reception staff were very helpful and willing to go out their way to help you, we had an issue with the heating and used the out of Jura help line, they came to the lodge within half an hour and returned the following day however the entertainment staff had an appalling attitude, making comments such as 'we not here to mind your children'. People are on holiday and understand the fact that children are their responsibility, if you don't like kids- don't work around them in my opinion.
location and staff great however most of the facilities were not on due to the fact there were very few people on the site
good central location 2 mins walk to centre lodge was nice and clean and everything you needed was there very friendly and helpful staff good value for money
Facilities were poor, site was hard to find your way around and staff were not very helpful.. yes admittedly it was near the end of season however it was half term and I still expected better
We had a fantastic time.
staff were great had a fantastic tim thank you all
After reading reviews the property was cleaner than we expected. The staff were very helpful - TV, and outside lighting weren't working on arrival. However, the outside of the lodge was very dirty lots of leaves and due to a lot of rain we had to wade through deep water to get in the hot tub! There were cobwebs all over the lodge a bit of talc would have made this stay a lot better.
On the whole, my family and I love holidaying at Solway because of where it's situated and because it's dog friendly. The entertainment could be more varied though in my opinion.
Awful place which needs demolishing
The holiday village is ok. The holiday village and facilities is ok apart from the chalet the bathpanel was hanging off......luck enough I'm a plumber and could fix the shower ever time one of eight people used it......i saved up all year to go and lucky I lasted the whole stay. It was like been thown back to the 70's. One night it was blown a gale.....and I got 3 hour sleep because of the windows rattling. Overall I didn't do anything about because it's was the kids holiday and tried to keep them happy......not a happy person and don't know whether to bother again.

The Option Pit Boot Camp is BACK: Sign Up Here!
More Yellen testimony hurt the RUT and VIX today as both those indexes made some pretty good size drops. With a lot of old tech like MSFT and especially INTC, starting to trade at multiples out of the single digits what is volatility to do. A client wrote me today and asked if CSCO is next? All of a sudden establish companies are doing something not many thought possible a year ago and that is deliver some growth.
Stocks briefly flirted with new highs today, but look like they will close up for the day. Slightly better housing news with a non-reaction to Thailand or Ukrainian violence also got the VIX to a 12 close. I am not saying stocks can't drop, but the case for up to flat is getting better. Part of the VIX is to forecast volatility in the future and for now there isn't any.
A client of ours sent me a stat that said, "Only 2 down days in last 14 for SPX leading into the official end of q/e........un-freakin -real!" I have to share that sentiment. While I have not been betting the market is going to go down I been thinking it would not go up this fast.
I gave up a long time ago trying to figure out why the market does what it does but at this point my guess is ….relief. The equity market is possibly quite happy that the Fed will start to exit. I guess we will see tomorrow. Either way it is a big rally on lots of unknowns.
One of the really fun parts about this Fed juiced market as we approach an announcement is that all the traders sit around and do nothing since we have to wait for what the Board of Governors comes out with. I can remember trading for a decade and a half and what the Fed was doing was at the bottom of the list. There was too much growth to contend with. We will know when things improve when each Fed minutes release take on less meaning. The underwhelming VIX over the last couple of days signals we might be moving that way. However, It does look like we are getting a signal in MSFT.
Back in the old days before the 3rd QE and Mario Draghi promised to support the Euro the SPX was trading 1329 and the market had one star, AAPL. Today feels like old is new again with AAPL lovers back after a not awful earnings report and pretty much everything else down. Gold, bonds, oil and stocks in general all are taking a breather from the recent run and the lack of great news locally gave investors pause. The strange thing is that Europe actually rallied today on a pickup in demand. For whatever reason AAPL was again the star and the post earnings volatility acted like it.
Today's market activity feels a lot like the day before and the day before and so on. Without a resolution it is going to be tough for the market to get a breeze. Besides AAPL moving around intraday things are really stuck in the mud. Whatever I end up doing has to get past the current sideways slosh about that passes for market activity these days. At this point I am interested in adding some longs to my portfolio but what to buy and where?
I won't go through the VIX play by play today,because it was pretty straight forward. The VIX November (and sometime December) future spent a good part of the day underwater, in doing so, showing that the VIX futures were slightly backward. What does that mean? Move movement in the short term as 200 point moves in the down start to ignite the realized volatility in the market. My closet theory is that implied volatility will not drop until after AAPL announces. I have no real proof for that, but this whole scene feels like last spring when the market was sitting on the big news. It looks like we are waiting for Friday morning for any meaningful drop in volatility (or another pop), but right now, there is enough movement to support what is going on.&nb

Well, I have a pot that I planted several apple seeds in it. One of them sprouted that next week (around July). The others didn't germinate, but one germinated a few days ago and winter is fast approaching. The oldest apple is starting to lose its leaves. If I bring the pot indoors will the oldest apple die? If I leave it outside will the small one die? What should I do to save both? Please help. Thanks in advance:) |
Follow-Up Postings:
I'm not an expert but personally I would leave them outside. Apples are very hardy and based on everything I have learned, they need cold weather to mature properly. They've been doing this for tens of thousands of years. |
Thank you dmtaylor. Now both apples will survive. |
The one which sprouted in July should be fine. But if I read that correctly, the 2nd sprouted in December (which is kind of strange...). I think that 2nd one would die outside. Plants need time to harden off for the winter. If the seed just germinated in the past week, I don't see how it could harden off in time for a zone 5b winter. I'd say keep that one inside this winter in a south facing window and leave it out next winter. Or better yet, plant it in the fall. |

where are you in z5?? in my z5 MI .. i would tuck then in on the north side of the house.. when the ground freezes .. i would tip over the pot ... and as i shoveled snow of the sidewalk .. i would bury it in snow .. if any ... the snow actually insulates then from frigid winter winds.. and temp spikes .. they are a deciduous tree.. they were supposed to lose their leaves months ago .. i suspect you may have been feeding them .. trees dont need a lot of fert in a pot ... the sprouting seedling is way out of phase or kilter.. who knows if that one will live.. dormant trees do NOT need a lot of water .. and i tip them over.. so a frozen pot.. will not accumulate rain or melting snow.. in frozen media ... roots need air as much as other things.. and freezing them into an ice cube is not helpful ... and NEVER leave a black pot in winter sun.. it can warm and heat too much ... making the roots come out of dormancy while the rest of the tree is dormant .. this is all about my z5 adrian MI ... and i am sure all colder zone ... ken |

You might also try cold booting to your Windows Disk to then go through a few steps to Repair (not Repair Console) mode.

The Elegance of the Hedgehog - Muriel Barbery
#1 Posted 19/04/2010 13:10:54
Elegance of the Hedgehog This is such an excellent read, written by an intelligent & perceptive lady - Muriel Barbery is French and the book has been translated by Alison Anderson. It was my choice for our last book club meeting & very few people turned up - I actually heard someone say that they weren't going to read it because they didn't like the sound of it from the title! It has achieved popularity by word of mouth, topped the best seller lists in France & has been read world wide since then. Highly recommended - has humour, pathos, charm. Please read it. Am not selling my copy yet as have a list of people wanting to read it |
Re:The Elegance of the Hedgehog - Muriel Barbery
#3 Posted 20/04/2010 14:42:55
I had heard amazing things about it and whilst I enjoyed it I found it quite disappointing. Not sure why really but it didn't move me as much as I expected. Love the title though. My copy is now winging its way to its new owner so hope they enjoy it. |

Kakuna Matata and I are getting married
, 27th February 2013 at 12:32 PM (579 Views)
So as some of you might have noticed (as I have not shut up about this), I've been watching a bunch of ghost shows on YouTube. One story they featured a spirit that was so crazy, the family had to move out for fear of their safety.
So later, the mom and one of the daughters return to the deadly house to get a phone charger. When things start banging an the spooks are a-spookin', the mom says that they have to grab the charger and leave. You know, because a phone charger is the biggest thing to worry about. Not you or your daughter's lives. Granted, she was under severe stress and it's often a pain to find the right phone charger, but still.
If you were in a spooky house, would you be risking your safety to get a phone charger?I actually probably would.

I use either sort. The glass ones, by their nature, are a bit more
delicate and unforgiving of kitchen accidents. Although it is
generally said to lower the heat by 25 deg F when using glass instead
of metal, I do not do so myself with bread.
>I put the pans in the oven set to 105 and covered them with a damp

>hour later, some dough stuck to the towel when I removed it.
Is this your second rise? Ideally, there should be a first rise in a
greased bowl. The best flavors develop when this rise (and any
subsequent proofing) is done at room temperature, or cooler. Even the
fridge is good for it. 105 deg F is unnecessary.
There are newer trends these days that call for stretching and folding
the dough during this first "bowl" rise. It makes for better gluten
development. If you want more information, google "stretch and fold"
and you can read up on it...
Ok..let's say you are doing a standard first proof. When your dough
has doubled, you want to gently remove it from the bowl, de-gas it a
bit, divide it and shape it. Then you can go for your final rise in
the bread pans (side note again - there are some doughs that get their
final rise as free-form loaves on baking sheets, on a couche or in
brotforms. Again, google for interest. Come back with questions).
>Q2: Is the damp towel a good idea and if so, why?
When you have shaped your loaves, you might want to spray your pans
before you put the dough in. You do want to keep the outside of the
dough from forming too hard a skin, so try any of the following....
flour the top, or spray with oil, or butter it. Then cover it gently
with a *floured* towel or plastic wrap. You can also leave the loaves
uncoated, then place them, pan and all, into a large plastic bag, that
is then sealed. That gives it a moist environment for the final
proof. Some folks put a bowl of water into the microwave along with
the loaves in pans. It can also provide a stable temp and moist
environment. YMMV.
>I took the pans out of the oven for about 10 minutes while it heated
>up to 350. (I switched to the convection setting which turns on the

>what I wanted.
They were over proofed and collapsed when you moved them around. How
quickly your loaves are proofed depends on myriad thing - the overall
recipe, the temperature, the hydration, the amount of yeast, or yeast
vs sourdough, etc..lots of variables.
>Q3: Can I leave the pans in the oven while it heats up to baking
Some folks start their breads in a cold oven. I do not, as I tend to
bake lean dough (no fats, eggs, etc) breads that require high temps of
450-500 deg F.
Even so, 350 deg F is very low for bread baking.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Addie!
Facts about Addie
- Breed: Spaniel (Unknown Type)/Sheltie, Shetland Sheepdog Mix
- Color: Red/Golden/Orange/Chestnut
- Age: Young
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
Addie's Info...
I am already spayed and up to date with shots.
We pulled Addie from the Memphis Animal Shelter after seeing her standing in soaking wet newspaper in a small kennel. Apparently no one could get that close to her kennel without her growling. Im not sure what kind of life this dog had prior to being in the shelter but she was very uncertain about people. Luckily, once sprung, she immediately responded to being handled and loved on. She was initially resistant to every dog in her foster home but is now playing well with many of them. She walks well on leash and is crate trained. Addie is one to two years old and weighs about 12 lbs. She is a lovely dog who will need someone who can go slow with her, not expect her to greet new people constantly but have a fairly quiet life style. She loves to play outside and uses her doggie door. She is often found snuggling on a dog bed with other foster dogs. If you have experience with rescued pets who have a slightly leary nature when meeting new people, you might be a good candidate for this pet Adoption fee is $150.
The ideal home for this Real Good Dog will have a secure fenced yard. A solid history of excellent vet care for current or previous pets is required. Preference will be given to applicants who have specific breed experience.
Please visit www.realgoodrescue.com to submit an electronic application if you are interested in adopting this or any other Real Good Dog.
We adopt dogs from Memphis Animal Shelter when we can. The shelter has an 83% euthanasia rate, one of the highest in the country. Unfortunately, any dog coming from Memphis Animal Shelter, and most other shelters for that matter, will have been in contact with contagious illness. Even though the dogs have been in foster care and appear to be in good health, they may become stressed when changing environments and exhibit signs and symptoms of illness. If you have other pets, they need to be up to date on vaccines before bringing a shelter dog into your home. We will take the adopted animal back, but we are not responsible for your other animal's vet care. We always disclose where the dogs have come from. Please ask for any information about the dogs and exercise due caution if you have immunocompromised animals.
Other Pets at Real Good Dog Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Addie, a Memphis Spaniel (Unknown Type)/Sheltie, Shetland Sheepdog dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Spaniel (Unknown Type)/Sheltie, Shetland Sheepdog for sale in Memphis, or seeking a Spaniel (Unknown Type)/Sheltie, Shetland Sheepdog dog from a breeder in Memphis.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Memphis already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Memphis breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Spaniel (Unknown Type)/Sheltie, Shetland Sheepdog breeders who help with Spaniel (Unknown Type)/Sheltie, Shetland Sheepdog rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Memphis paves the way for another one to be saved.

On Tuesday, February 3, due to a special event being held in Emancipation Hall in the Capitol Visitor Center, there will be no public tours of the Capitol. The Capitol Visitor Center will be closed all day except for individuals on official business and people going to the House and Senate Visitor Galleries.
Pirates from the Barbary States preyed on ships off Africa's western and Mediterranean coasts for centuries. After gaining independence, the U.S. lost British protection on the seas. In the 1780s and 1790s, pirates captured and enslaved many American sailors and demanded exorbitant ransoms for their return. With diplomatic means failing, Congress authorized the creation of the U.S. Navy to defend against further attacks on American commerce.

The most beautiful airline terminal in the world is at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport. These days, however, most of the airport's more than 48 million annual passengers arrive and depart oblivious to it: the terminal in question, commissioned by TWA and completed in 1962, hasn't been in use since 2000, not long before that pioneering airline went bankrupt and was bought by American Airlines. Architect Eero Saarinen's design is a lyric poem in poured concrete, all curve and swoop, about the wonder of flight. But come September, passengers of low-cost carrier JetBlue Airways will have the option of towing their wheeled suitcases through this architectural dreamscape, checking in at an electronic kiosk, and continuing through Saarinen's skinny tube-shaped connectors to the brand-new Terminal 5, one of the first built in this country since 9/11.
Given that the over-the-top sensuality of Saarinen's design would seem to have limited relevance in today's fraught air-travel environment, it's an unexpected pleasure to see TWA's contours reflected in a new generation of airline terminals. Airports are re-embracing the notion of beauty. Beijing's newly opened Terminal 3, designed by Norman Foster's Foster & Partners, is a miracle of rapid-fire engineering and army-ant–intensity construction; it's also the world's largest single building, with a ceiling that is a dizzying scrim of light and color. Madrid's Barajas Airport's 2006 Terminal 4, by Richard Rogers of Rogers Stirk Harbour & Partners, is like an extra-long cathedral, an unending vault supported by a colorful procession of buttresses. And Heathrow's T5, also by RSHP, which had its March opening disrupted by a massive failure of its luggage handling system, is otherwise notable for its undulating glass roof.
By contrast, the JetBlue terminal that rubs shoulders with the historic TWA hub is conspicuously earthbound and deliberately modest. Partly, this is in deference to Saarinen: "The challenge was to lay back, if you will," says William D. Hooper, a principal architect at Gensler, the firm that designed the 650,000-square-foot building. "We never wanted to compete against Saarinen." (While the new JetBlue terminal is connected to it, the landmarked Saarinen structure is owned by the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey.) Beijing's new Terminal 3 has "a massive wow factor when you step into it," says Foster & Partners CEO Mouzhan Majidi. JetBlue didn't go for the wow—how could they?What could they have done that would have been more impressive than what Saarinen accomplished almost 50 years ago without the benefit of the computer modeling systems upon which contemporary architects rely?
According to Gensler's handout on the terminal, "glamour has been replaced by efficiency." And that's what I notice when Hooper gives me a hard-hat tour of the terminal: less attention to image and more to function, and—in an era when air travel can be a trial—a refreshingly thoughtful approach to the basic needs of the passenger. Hooper leads me through the space as if I'm a departing passenger. We enter a long, gently curving hall with a sloping white corrugated-steel roof supported by metal latticework. Windows running the length of the terminal just below the roofline let in sunlight. The architecture, Hooper says, "is intended to be comfortable and generous without being overblown."
In this prototypical post-9/11 environment, the ticket counters are off to the side—JetBlue travelers tend to arrive with boarding passes already in hand—and security is front and center. The layout accommodates 20 security lanes (although there's no guarantee that the Transportation Security Administration will staff them all). I'm pleased when he points out that the floor in the security area is made of the spongy rubber that is used to cushion the pavement in playgrounds, a material friendly to shoeless feet.
But when Hooper tells me about the bench, I want to hug him. The bench, all 225 feet of it, is just beyond the security checkpoint. It's there to aid in what Hooper calls "the revesting process." In plain English, what this means is that when you pad away from the X-ray machine in your stocking feet, juggling your carry-on bags, your computer, your pocket change, your shoes, and maybe an infant or two, there will be a place to sit and put yourself back together, to revest. It's a small gesture, but a considerate one. "JetBlue is returning humanity to air travel," Hooper says.
