Improving an old school favorite is not an easy task. However, Jack Adams has managed to do just that with this retro-styled men's jockstrap underwear. The Jack Adams Old School 2.5 Jockstrap takes the classic athletic jockstrap design and makes it perfect for today's man. This fashionable jock is the one piece of men's underwear you'll want to wear over and over again, for every occasion, from athletic activities to your ordinary routine – and you'll feel great wearing it too. The pouch is knitted just like the original, but Jack Adams has taken comfort to the next level by making this pouch thick and extremely soft. The wide waistband – a hallmark of old-fashioned jockstraps – has been enhanced too. Jack Adams made it a full two and half inches wide and gave it a soft, comfortable touch that was missing from old school jocks of yesterday. Even the rear straps of this jockstrap have been widened, giving even greater support along with a nice lift. Together, the wide waistband and rear straps provide a snug fit and durability needed for a hard workout on or off the field. Plus, the stylish stripes further distinguish this as a new and improved take on a classic design, making it a must-have addition to any guy's underwear collection.

Lindbergh Schools asked to reconsider Doercrest egress
Crestwood alderman sends letter to school district
Kari Williams
Staff Reporter
December 11, 2013 -
Crestwood Ward 1 Alderman Darryl Wallach recently called for Lindbergh Schools' to reconsider its approval of an egress onto Doercrest Drive, according to a letter he sent to district officials.
He also requested consideration for redeveloping "Long School property so traffic exits onto Sappington, which is the safer alternative for our young residents that ride the school bus."
The expansion calls for five school buses to exit Long Elementary through Doercrest Drive twice per day — in the morning with no children on the bus and in the afternoon with children.
Wallach noted concerns brought to the Board of Aldermen about safety and visibility for drivers heading westbound on Eddie & Park Drive toward Doercrest Drive, which forms a T-intersection.
"Although, there was no school official present at the Crestwood BOA (Board of Aldermen) meeting, it's my understanding that four of the buses will make a left turn at the intersection of Doercrest Drive and Eddie and Park while the other one will make a right turn," Wallach wrote. "Presently, there are four buses that turn right (southbound) onto Sappington Road and one turns left onto Sappington at the current Long School traffic routes for the buses."
Lindbergh Schools Community Relations Director Beth Johnston told Wallach by email, which was provided to the Call, that the district puts student safety "at the top of (its) list of priorities and take(s) it very seriously."
"We have complied with every code and permit required throughout this construction process to ensure that we are creating the safest possible environment for generations to come," Johnston wrote. "The Long School parking lot expansion project is in full compliance with the law and will create a better, more safe traffic flow for thousands of parents and students. As the project nears completion, Long Elementary School families and Lindbergh Schools are looking forward to the improved environment these changes will create."
Wallach wrote that he is concerned Lindbergh Schools "has not been provided the appropriate engineering and safety studies for the egress from the Doercrest subdivision onto Eddie & Park Road."
"I believe the proposed travel of the buses from Doercrest onto Eddie & Park has safety concerns due to the lack-of-visibility issues that are approximately 140 (feet) east of this intersection," Wallach wrote. "As accurately pointed out at the Crestwood BOA meeting of March 26, there is a small ridge/hill to the east such as operators exiting from Doercrest are unable to view traffic traveling westbound on Eddie and Park until these units become visible at the hill crest on Eddie & Park Drive which is approximately 140 (feet) 146 (feet) away."
If a bus makes a left turn visibility "will decrease the available distance from 10 (feet) - 20 (feet) when a 35 (foot) - 38 (foot) bus attempts to turn left across the oncoming westbound Eddie and Park traffic lane which, unfortunately, increases the potential of accidents at this location."
"Furthermore, the winter months with sunsets that come much sooner and cloudy days create a greater concern of the lack of visibility at this intersection," Wallach wrote.
Lindbergh Schools, according to Johnston, has a "long history of implementing the safest possible traffic plans for students and families at all of our five elementary schools, two middle schools, high school and early childhood education buildings."
"Our responsibility, which we take very seriously, is to always do what is best for children of all ages, and we are confident that the improvements at Long are the safest, best option for all students, parents, bus drivers and residents involved," Johnston wrote.

Furl: Soft Pneumatic Pavilion is another* project i discovered at the graduation show of The interactive Architecture Lab, a Bartlett School of Architecture research group and Masters Programme headed by Ruairi Glynn, Christopher Leung and William Bondin.
Bijing Zhang and Francois Mangion explored the field of soft robotics and its future applications to create an adaptive architecture that responds to the human body:
"Furl" combines Electroencephalography (EEG) with advances in soft silicone casting of "air muscles". The introduction of soft robotics replaces the mechanical principles in interactive architecture through a biological paradigm. EEG allows sensing of human brain functioning so that our environments begin moving and responding to our very thoughts. The designed components have a wide palette of deformation patterns of inflation. Through combination of soft and hard architectural elements, "Furl" creates a new platform for a kinetic responsive architecture which can let space interact with users needs and adapt itself to environmental conditions.
Quick conversation with one of the creators of Furl:
Hi François! I hope I'm not going to shock you but I find that Furl is very fascinating but also a bit repulsive. It's a bit of an upsetting creature. It's mechanical but it also looks like it has some flesh that moves and 'lives' and that makes me uncomfortable. So why didn't you decide to make a cute little soft robot?
It is not a shock at all, in the Interactive Architecture Lab, people often attach some kind of a distinct behavioural character to their work and Furl is no exception. We always thought about Furl as a curious 'creature' of polarities, soft responsive moving components in contrast with the stiff sharp structure.
The description text in the catalogue mentions applications of soft robotics in architecture. Where do you see these applications happening? What would a 'soft responsive architecture' be able to do for us?
There's a lot of interest in robotics in Architecture right now. Mostly in fabrication but increasingly thinking about how buildings and space as whole can be kinetic in their response to inhabitation. The problem is that robotics and mechanisms are typically rigid, sometimes dangerous, and generally incompatible with close proximate behavior to people. Soft robotics creates a new platform for architecture, to interact much more sensitively and directly to the human body. These physical properties of soft materials offer a potential to create 'soft' architectural structures or components which can shift shape, rotate, bend unlike anything we've seen in architecture to date. It might be sometime before such techniques are commonplace but we think it opens up new horizons in biologically inspired architecture, an interdisciplinary approach that could potentially lead to a revolution towards a 'soft responsive architecture'.
Could you briefly tell us how the soft part works? In particular, what makes it inflate?
The soft responsive components forming Furl are "air muscles". Made of two layers of silicone with different degrees of elasticity and with air channels cast within them. This difference in mechanical properties and the arrangement of the air channels makes the muscle transform in different ways. You can essentially programme the behaviour of the air muscles by varying moulds for casting the soft material so that it can produce different 'gestures' based on geometries (such as thickness, ratio, depiction) of the solid part the air muscles and air channels. A lot of material experimentation was lead by Bijing Zhang based on work by previous members of IAL including Ben Haworth and Rom Khampanya.
Can you explain me the part about Electroencephalography: "EEG allows sensing of human brain functioning so that our environments begin moving and responding to our very thoughts." How does it work? What can EEG sense exactly? And how does Furl respond?
Our approach to brain sensing was developed in collaboration with DSI (Data Science Institute) at the Imperial College. Using their brain sensors we were able to get raw data about levels of alpha (α), beta (β), delta (δ), and theta (Θ) brain waves. The EEG signal is closely related to the level of concentration of the person. As the activity increases, the EEG shifts to higher dominating type of brain wave frequency and lower amplitude. If people concentrated it alters the theta brain waves frequency and this would active the muscles to inflate. This was actually quite a simple response to what is actually much more powerful data that harnessed with pattern recognition and learning algorithms could spell the end of needing to touch or speak to devices or environments to control them.
Since we're exploring the softness of material, we felt that brain sensing in some way, was the equivalent in soft control. Even more powerful to simple control would be buildings able to take the data and predict and anticipate our needs even before we do. Its an exciting and equally terrifying area of research we're starting to explore and this was just a prototype of that idea.
What was the biggest challenge(s) you encountered while developing the work?
The biggest challenge we had to deal with was to acquire the knowledge of the material's physical properties and develop full understanding of the change in the dynamic behaviour of the air muscles with respect to the specific internal air channels. Through a series of design and fabricated tests we were continuously exploring the capability of mimicking a more natural behaviour and interaction.
Are you planning to push this research into soft robotics any further?
Yes, definitely there are still a lot of challenges we have to deal with and the scaling up to architectural scale at this stage is something that we have to explore. On the other hand we also want to investigate the possibility of prototyping a one functional component with embedded hard materials for structural, interactive and dynamic capabilities. We also look forward in developing further the brain sensor control aiming towards full-scale soft responsive architecture.
Thanks François!

Imagine Architecture. Artistic Visions of the Urban Realm, by Lukas Feireiss and Robert Klanten.
Available on amazon UK and USA
Publisher Gestalten writes: Contemporary developments in the visual arts are often reflected in urban landscapes. Imagine Architecture explores the ways in which visual culture develops in public spaces and how it shapes those spaces. This book focuses on the fruitful exchange between visual culture and architecture and follows up on the themes introduced in our previous release Beyond Architecture. It compiles experimental projects and creative perspectives from the fields of illustration, painting, collage, sculpture, photography, installation, and design.
A young generation of creatives sees the urban landscape as the starting point for their work. When these illustrators, sculptors, or photographers engage with architecture, their art overrules conventional doctrines on the use of space. They use buildings as a medium for their ideas, breaking norms and triggering new tensions. Whether they make sculptures that are created within the context of a given structure or street art whose forms and colors impact its surrounding architecture, all of the featured projects interpret and reflect their spatial settings in compelling ways. In the process, these visionary concepts are playfully expanding the definition of architecture. Their creativity has the potential to breathe new life into public spaces and promote the evolution of our cities.
Imagine Architecture follows Gestalten magical recipe: a theme which will catch everyone's imagination, a straightforward introduction, a brief description of each work and lots of very big images. The formula works every time.
It's not my favourite book from Gestalten though. It's still a brilliant one but i opened it with the assumption that artists exploring architecture were always going to be far more thought-provoking than architects expressing the radical or outlandish ideas you'd expect from an artist. I looked back at architecture titles i've reviewed in the past (in particular the two i've just linked to) and realize that i was wrong, i shouldn't dismiss architects' creativity.
Now to what i like about the book: the title and content might be catchy but that doesn't reduce the Imagine Architecture to a catalogue of what was cool and trendy on design and art blogs these past couple of years. The editors have brought to light gems from exhibitions and portfolios that haven't reached the mainstream yet. Some of the works are deeply political. Others have no other ambition than be poetical. Some are paper models of an imaginary city that, like a real one, is ever growing, ever-evolving. Others are typographic experiments that attempt to dialogue with architecture. Some explore architecture through the introspective lens of the home. Others look at the arrogance of men who hope to control and dominate from the height of the towers they've built.
Right, i can see now that my arid review hasn't probably done justice to the book, let the images speak then:
Tom Sachs' The Island is a modified model of the radar tower of the USS Enterprise CVN-65, "The world's first and finest nuclear powered aircraft carrier." It's also one of my favourite works ever.
The Fog Factory is the model of the area around the train station in Nancy, France. Fog, which creeps over the streets, constitutes the architecture, an artificial copy of a meteorological phenomenon, mechanically produced but randomly distributed and imponderable.
Beth Dow looks at the American environments, and its penchant for fake antiquities. My pictures of faked antiquities are an attempt to evoke nostalgia for inaccurate history, to wrestle with ideas of authenticity, and to question the value we place on classical ideals.
Laurent Chehere looks for understated and overlooked examples of architecture in Paris. From caravans to circus tents to sex shops. He photographs them and then sends them high up in the air from his digital manipulation room.
Collapscapes are fictitious industrial spaces made of glass. Called Chemical Plant, Mine Shaft, Super Collider and Gas Depot, the objects look at industrial architecture and the contraction (or collapse) of industrial sites that follows increasingly mechanised production.
A synthetic cotton treehouse for children in the shape of a mushroom cloud.
Daryl Chen's New Socialist Village explores what the UK can learn about planning from the community living in the village of Caochangdi, an atypical 'new socialist village' outside of Beijing. In the space created by the Chinese government's evolving planning laws, the village's growth is driven by the instincts of local peasants and the bohemian opportunism of artists who have established a set of unstated rules governing urban form.
Jiang Pengyi creates Unregistered Cities, miniature abandoned cities. He then places them in the historic abandoned houses that Beijing's hunger for "excessive urbanization, redevelopment and demolition" has left to rot.

Yesterday was the press view of Constructing Worlds: Photography and Architecture in the Modern Age at the Barbican Art Gallery. I eagerly go to those journalist tours because i'm allowed to take photos to my heart's content. The day after it's often strictly verboten.
Constructing Worlds looks at how photographers have documented key moments in the history of 20th and 21st century architecture: the skyscrapers rising up in New York, the remains of an industrial Europe well past its glory days, the glamorous Californian lifestyle of the 1940s, the unstoppable urbanisation of China, the traces of colonization in Africa, the aftermath of the war on Afghanistan, India's enthusiasm for modernity as built in Chandigarh by Le Corbusier, etc.
I was particularly seduced by the photos from the 1930s to 1970s. Their authors looked for beauty and evidences of social changes where most people would have only registered dust and mortar.
Constructing Worlds exhibits the work of 18 photographers only. But that's good enough for me as i'm no fan of those Barbican shows that asphyxiate you by their discouragingly high amount of images and information. I'm therefore going to follow suit and keep my comments short.
Ed Ruscha's views of Thirty-four Parking Lots in Los Angeles were taken from a helicopter. The series followed his iconic "Every Building on the Sunset Strip". Probably my favourite room in the show.
In 1929, Berenice Abbott traveled to New York City after having spent eight years in Europe. In her absence, countless 19th-century buildings had been razed to make way for skyscrapers. She decided to stay in the country and document the changing face of the city. By 1940, the photographer had completed "Changing New York," an invaluable historical testimony of a life in Manhattan that has disappeared.
Walker Evans is famous for the work he did for the Farm Security Administration documenting the effects of the Great Depression. I've seen these images several times before but i doubt i'll ever get tired of them. The photos were taken at the same time as Berenice Abbott's.
Guy Tillim's work examines modern history in Africa against the backdrop of its colonial and post-colonial architectural heritage.
The exhibition is curated by Alona Pardo and Elias Redstone and designed by architecture firm, Office KGDVS, led by Kersten Geers and David Van Severen.
Constructing Worlds: Photography and Architecture in the Modern Age is at the Barbican Art Gallery until 11 January 2015.

Radical Cities: Across Latin America in Search of a New Architecture, by Justin McGuirk.
Available on amazon USA and UK.
Publisher Verso Books writes: What makes the city of the future? How do you heal a divided city?
In Radical Cities, Justin McGuirk travels across Latin America in search of the activist architects, maverick politicians and alternative communities already answering these questions. From Brazil to Venezuela, and from Mexico to Argentina, McGuirk discovers the people and ideas shaping the way cities are evolving.
Ever since the mid twentieth century, when the dream of modernist utopia went to Latin America to die, the continent has been a testing ground for exciting new conceptions of the city. An architect in Chile has designed a form of social housing where only half of the house is built, allowing the owners to adapt the rest; Medellín, formerly the world's murder capital, has been transformed with innovative public architecture; squatters in Caracas have taken over the forty-five-storey Torre David skyscraper; and Rio is on a mission to incorporate its favelas into the rest of the city.
Here, in the most urbanised continent on the planet, extreme cities have bred extreme conditions, from vast housing estates to sprawling slums. But after decades of social and political failure, a new generation has revitalised architecture and urban design in order to address persistent poverty and inequality. Together, these activists, pragmatists and social idealists are performing bold experiments that the rest of the world may learn from.
It's mid July and this might already be my favourite book of the year 2014 (unless Jo Nesbo publishes a new one before December.) It is lively, daring, insightful and it might actually be one of the very few books about future cities that make sense to me.
While we (in Europe) are still proudly exhibiting in biennials 3D printed visions of what the city of tomorrow might look like, cities in South and Central America are already experiencing elements of our future urban conditions. Countries in Latin America have not only gone through mass urbanization long before China and Africa, they've also given rise to a new generation of architects who believe that architecture can be used as a tool for social change. These men (who are not only architects but also in some cases squatters and politicians) have had to respond to housing crisis, traffic congestion, segregation, lack of political participation and other effects of rapid unplanned urbanization.
The urban experiments described in Radical Cities should teach European and North American urban planners and architects valuable lessons about conceiving and managing the mega cities of the future. Such as what happens when you value adaptability over perfect order, acknowledge the informal city as a vital part of the urban ecosystem, include the citizen into collective efforts of imagination and construction or embrace and work with the dynamic force that is precariousness.
Among the cases explored:
Alejandro Aravena created social housing for a poor community living in the north of Chile. He simply provided families with half a house and they built the rest, within a defined structural framework. The project was self-initiated and the final dwellers of the houses were involved in the design process.
In Colombia, it's a new radicalized political class that took the initiative of improving the quality of life of all urban dwellers. The movement started in the 1990s when Antanas Mockus, the mayor of Bogotá used tactics of performance artists to tackle violence and instil a new civic culture. He reduced road accidents by hiring mime artists to mock bad behaviour on the road and to direct traffic, he set up a scheme allowing people to exchange their guns for toys and he dressed as Superciudadano (SuperCitizen) to urge his fellow citizen to take care of their urban environment. The results of his unorthodox social experiments included homicide rate dropping by 70% and traffic fatalities by more than 50%.
Torre David which the author calls 'a pirate utopia' is the third tallest skyscraper in Caracas. Built in the business district to host luxury offices, the building had stood empty for 13 years until 2007 when squatters moved in. Some 3000 people now live in "the tallest squat in the world.' Inhabitants managed to organize a legitimate electricity distribution, they enjoy spectacular views over the city and live in apartments that range from the barely inhabitable to well furnished flats with all commodities. The building has developed its own community rules and even houses convenience stores and bodegas every two floors. On the other hand, there is no elevator so going to the top floor with the grocery can quickly turn into a fitness challenge. There are open facades and holes in the floor and accidents happen if you don't stay away from the edge.
I know you're not supposed to ever be tired of London but if you feel like a change of atmosphere, there's some rather spectacular disused wind tunnels to gape at in Farnborough, a mere 35 minute train ride from Waterloo station.
The Wind Tunnel project filled with site-specific commissions two wind tunnels buildings, known as R52 and Q121, that were built to test planes, from Spitfires to Concorde. These buildings were decommissioned after the 1960s and have remained closed to the public ever since.
Opened in 1935, Q121 is the largest wind tunnel in Great Britain. Inside, two gigantic holes face each other. One is a powerful fan with 600kg blades which would drag air fast and furious across the space between them to test complete planes and sections of bigger airplanes.
R52 was built in 1917. It is now an empty hangar but it used to house one of the world's earliest aerodynamic testing facilities.
Contemporary artworks by James Bridle and Thor McIntyre-Burnie explore the past of the buildings.
McIntyre-Burnie's sound pieces makes use of archive materials from the BBC to fill the impressive Q121.
The basis of his sound work is an outside recording made by the BBC of the song of a nightingale in 1942 in a garden in Surrey. It was a yearly broadcast since 1924 but this year, the microphone accidentally picked up the sound of RAF bombers flying overhead on their way to Germany. The program had to be interrupted, for fear it would have tipped off Germany about the upcoming bombing attack.
McIntyre-Burnie's new composition fills the wind tunnel. It doesn't try and compete with the impressive structure (that would be foolish.) In fact, it make the whole experience of going through the historical space even more awe-inspiring.
One of Bridle's works, Rainbow Plane 001, also paid homage to the history of the site. The installation outlines the silhouette of a Miles M.52, an experimental supersonic aircraft developed in secret to break the sound barrier at Farnborough in the early 1940s.
The contour is shown as if distorted by the pansharpening effect of satellite photography, as if viewed, in flight, from space. There never was any original photography of that Miles M.52 in flight. First of all because, the aircraft never flew. It was a research project that was cancelled in 1946 even though its aerodynamics had been successfully demonstrated by a scale model. Besides, satellites don't take 'photos' of what lays below them. Instead, they use sensors to look down onto the earth and acquire information about its surface and atmosphere.
Rainbow Plane 001 is ducted tapped under the site's portable airship hangar. The structure was one of the 6 airship sheds in the UK at the outset of WWI and it probably isn't as 'portable' as its name suggests. It is estimated that it would take 50 men ten days to dismantle the structure, 7 to load it onto railway and 2 to 3 weeks to reassemble it.
The Wind Tunnel Project was organised by Artliner and curated by Salma Tuqan. I must say that the website of the project is one of the most frustratingly dysfunctional i've ever visited. Anyway, you can see the tunnels and artworks in Farnborough until the 20th of July. A shuttle service is helpfully available outside the Farnborough railway station.
More images from the wind tunnel (I also posted a photo set from the opening on flickr, if ever you're interested):
Most people are fascinated by ruins. The appeal of the crumbling and the decaying is such that it has its own term in photography. It is called "ruin porn" and Detroit is one of its most celebrated subjects. Tate Britain currently has an exhibition about the mournful, thrilling, comic and perverse uses of ruins in art. It is called Ruin Lust. Not because Tate curators are prude and proper but because they are erudite, the title of the show, i read, comes from the 18th-century German architectural word Ruinenlust.
The exhibition begins with the eighteenth century's fascination for ruins among artists, writers, architects and travelers. Think J.M.W. Turner and John Constable. I can't summon much enthusiasm for paintings, etchings and sculptures of the past so i'm going to stop the romantic trip here, shamelessly skip the first parts of the exhibition and focus solely on contemporary works. Most of them photography.
Contemporary artists see ruins, not simply as scenes for aesthetic pleasure and remembrance of past glory, they also question their essence and even view them as as sites of rebirth and new opportunities.
Even if i deliberately only enjoyed a small part of Ruin Lust, i exited the show content and ready to enjoy any overlooked and crap-looking bit of urbanism London has to offer (before they become a real estate 'prime location'.)
Here is a hasty tour of the show. It represent only a very subjective and photography-heavy perspective of it:
Jane and Louise Wilson have long explored architectural spaces that evoke power and control. The artists started photographing decaying Nazi bunkers on France's Normandy Coast, after having read an article by J.G. Ballard on their place in modernist architecture. "We were intrigued by the World War II bunkers that were being drawn back into the water," Jane says. "It was like something from an ancient civilization, but darker."
The Russian Ending, by Tacita Dean, is a series of photogravures with etching inspired by postcards documenting disastrous events. The title of the series refers to a cinematographic practice of the early 20th Century when the last sequences of European movies exported to America and Russia were filmed twice. American audiences would watch the 'Happy End' while a 'Tragic End' was made for Russians.
Adam Broomberg and Oliver Chanarin have photographed marks and drawings made on the walls of what seems to have become a tourist hotspot in the town of Sulaymaniyah in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq: the Red House. The building was originally the headquarters of Saddam's Ba'athist party. It was also a place of incarceration, torture and often death for many Kurds. Broomberg and Chanarin
The artists photographed the marks left by Kurdish prisoners. We cannot tell what marks were made when and in what order. History presents itself as a palimpsest. If you wish you can sense in these photographs echoes of Brassai's surrealist images of scratched grafitti from 1930s Paris or Aaron Siskind's photos from the 1950s of daubs and tears made in hommage to abstract expressionist painting. But the context is more pressing and more fraught. The traces recorded by these photographs may relate to past events in the history of the Red House but nothing is settled in Iraq yet. While the photographs are fixed forever, these may not be the last marks made on these walls - David Campany.
In 1984 and Beyond, Byrne re-enacts a discussion, published in Playboy in 1963, in which science fiction writers - including Isaac Asimov, Ray Bradbury and Arthur C. Clarke - speculated about what the world might be like in 1984. Unsurprisingly, they were way off the mark.
Black-and-white photographs accompany the video work look like they came straight from the 1960s but if you look better you realize that they show objects, landscapes, cityscapes and scenes that might just as well belong to 1963, 1984 or now. They show the future that might have been, that probably never was but that still loiter in today's world.
Keith Arnatt's deadpan series A.O.N.B. (Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty) subverts the idea of what is picturesque and what deserves to get our attention by pointing the camera to the most prosaic man-made interventions in the landscape.
Five Sisters is a derelict land site in the Midlothian and West Lothian area which John Latham, during his artist's placement with the Scottish Development Office, recommended they be preserved as monuments. He also proposed that the 'bings' (huge heaps of coal waste) should be preserved as monuments. Latham's proposed to erect sculptures, in the form of books, on the summits of the 'bings'.
Paul Graham's series Troubled Land looked at "the troubles" in Northern Ireland.
Instead of working like a photojournalist and look for dramatic scenes to document, Graham searched for subtle traces of political instability left in the landscape. Graham said: "It's a combination of landscape and conflict photography, using small seductive landscapes to reveal the details."
Savage photographed abandoned locations around North Kensington. In the 1970s, the area had very little in common with the chic neighbourhood it later became. He wrote:
These photos were taken on an old Pentax during January 1977: their purpose was to serve as an image bank for the second issue of the fanzine London's Outrage. The location was the square of North Kensington that lies between Holland Park Road, the Shepherd's Bush spur, Westbourne Park Road and the Harrow Road.
The bulk of the images come from the streets around Latimer Road and Lancaster Road: the district called Notting Dale. Here, as in other inner London areas like W9 (the Chippenham) and WC2 (Covent Garden), the tide of industry and humanity had temporarily receded. Slum housing stock had been demolished, but there was no reconstruction: squatting communities like Frestonia (based in Notting Dale's Freston Road) occupied the remaining buildings. Not yet the clichés of punk iconography, large tower blocks loomed like primitive monsters above the rubble and the corrugated iron. I was guided to this area after seeing the Clash and the Sex Pistols. I was very taken with the Clash, partly because their North Kensington manor was so close to mine. Songs like "How Can I Understand The Flies" and "London's Burning" reflected their environment with precision and passion. London was very poor in the late seventies. (via)
Rachel Whiteread's 1996 prints show tower blocks on three housing estates in east London at the moment of their demolition. The images were scanned from photographs and stages in each of these demolitions were documented in three photographs taken from the same view-point. A fourth photograph of each site from a different location records moments that preceded or followed the knocking down.
The Demolished photos record what Whiteread calls 'something that is going to be completely forgotten ... the detritus of our culture', creating a memorial to the past in the hope of generating something better for the future.
Tacita Dean's film Kodak explores the ruin of images and obsolescence of technology. The artist traveled to Chalon-sur-Saône (France) in 2006 to visit and film the final days of the production of the company's 16-mm film stock.
On the day of filming, the factory also ran a test through the system with brown paper, providing a rare opportunity to see the facilities fully illuminated, without the darkness needed to prevent exposure.
Please, don't let this post convince you that i don't like painting. Laura Oldfield Ford's look at brutalist estates and architecture's failed attempts to build an egalitarian society.
Ruin Lust is at Tate Britain until 18 May 2014. The catalogue is available on amazon USA and UK.

from Common (Ft. Ynot) – Chapter 13 (Rich Man vs. Poor Man) Lyrics on Genius
Chicago used to boast the world's largest meatpacking district, with 475 acres of land- a veritable "city within a city", bustling with cheap European immigrant labour- dedicated to the slaughtering, processing and packaging of meat. Chicagoan poet Carl Sandburg referred to the city in a 1914 poem as "[t]the hog butcher for the world."
Today, the old meatpacking district is mostly condos and coffee shops.

The Lovereading comment:
Shortlisted for the 2009 Penguin Orange Readers' Group Book of the Year.
One of our 'Must Reads'. A great teenage classic. Holden Caufield is the ultimate outsider; he is expelled from school, falls out with his friends and finally suffers a nervous breakdown. The book is a scathing attack on American society in the 1950's seen through the eyes of one the most fascinating central characters ever created. Originally banned because of liberal use of profanity and powerful portrayal of teenage angst, The Catcher In The Rye has now been deemed essential reading for growing-up.
SynopsisThe Catcher In The Rye by J D Salinger
A 16-year old American boy relates in his own words the experiences he goes through at school and after, and reveals with unusual candour the workings of his own mind. What does a boy in his teens think and feel about his teachers, parents, friends and acquaintances?
About The Author
J.D. Salinger was born in New York City on January 1, 1919. Salinger is known for works about sensitive, articulate young people and for his skill in capturing the quality of their colloquial urban speech.
His best-known work is The Catcher in the Rye, a novel about a neurotic, perceptive adolescent who rebels against what he considers the phoniness of modern society. Told in the teenage slang pf the narrator-hero, the book is a skillful combination of humor and pathos. Since its publication, it has been the favorite of high school and college students.
A strange aside to the bookThe Catcher in the Ryecenters around the death of John Lennon. The assassin, John David Chapman, after firing several shots into John Lennon, dropped his gun and calmy took out his copy of The Catcher in the Rye, sat down on the curb, and read until the police arrived.

Looking for a BM color = Farrow & Day's Dayroom Yellow?
We are looking for a BM color that would be a close equivalent to Farrow & Day's Dayroom Yellow to pain our front door.
Any ideas?
Benjamin Moore Hawthorne Yellow HC-4. Not an exact match but in the ballpark. F&B's version is prettier. Hawthorne can have a skunky green edge to it. Could try getting a quart of Hawthorne and ask them to make it hold the black. (if they know how to do that)
Well, that makes it easier. Golden Honey is yellow-orange. Has a peachy edge to it. F&B's yellow is just yellow. Two distinct flavors of yellow. Both cheery and very lovely - would use either in a heartbeat.
If it's going outside, just makes sure you tell them it's for exterior. If you have a brush-out of Dayroom, yeah, I think they have a good shot. Still would mention if they know how to do it sans black.
Posted by sis2two (My Page) on Thu, Feb 14, 13 at 17:36
That door is actually painted Golden Honey by Benjamin Moore. I just came across it when I was googling my Golden Honey color. Hope this helps.
Do u have a link of your source? Cause everywhere I have searched that exact door pic is referenced Dayroom Yellow by F&D
Update: So I went to Benjamin Moore & they looked up in their database to match their color: most resembles Farrow & Ball's Dayroom Yellow is: Copacabana 284.
Here is a link that might be useful: Copacabana 284
I would say that is definitely not BM Golden Honey - Golden Honey is not that yellow. It has an orange look to it. I have painted it on one of my foyer walls and changed my mind instantly. I was looking for yellow-gold.
That door is really pretty - where you are finding it, is a designer listed that you can contact?
I hope this link attaches correctly...if not go to

www.mainemommy.com first house on right or look for the yellow door
Here is a link that might be useful: First house on the right or look for the yellow door
Thanks for that info. I've seen that blog before but it never really gave me confidence that it was F&D - more visual inspiration.
However, the link below is a bit more confirmation that it is more than ever Dayroom Yellow.
Here is a link that might be useful: Cribbed from Real SImple via simplifiedbee's blog
pbx2 = the door in the maine mommy link = I think she got a match from Valspar/Lowes. So her actual door I think is lighter than the Dayroom Yellow. Yellow's are really hard. If you want Dayroom yellow - might be worth your while to pay the price and buy it direct so you are really happy with it.
@ Wolfpackmom: we have a little 100ML pot from F&B that we just painted our own paint chips: brown paper bag & white 8x11 paper.
We put it up against BM Fresh Butter; that seems to have a bit more depth & substance.
The DayRoom Yellow equivalent in BM - Copacabana - doesn't appear as weighty in straight sunlight. This makes me wonder if it can still shine thru vs. a strong mid-summer sun or will it just fade into the daylight.
Maybe it's $120/gal talking but F&B sure does look pretty.
Whatever, you see in that picture in the OP, it's even prettier in real life.
Update again: we decided to paint the front door Fresh Butter from BM.
Under our condition & lighting with our western facing door, Fresh Butter looks more substantial & won't take a back seat to the bright sun light.
To our eyes, it looks truer to the OP pic in all light.

What You Can Expect
Stop at your first winery, Yering Station, where you'll learn the basics of wine tasting — how to swirl, sniff and slurp. Then enjoy a tasting of the winery's award-winning classic Australian wines. Continue your day trip to your second winery, Balgownie Estate, a small vineyard famed for its cabernet sauvignon and shiraz varieties.
Spend your first 30 minutes here at the tasting table, and then head into the winery restaurant for lunch, which includes a glass of wine and tea or coffee. While you eat, enjoy great views of the vineyard. After lunch, head to Yering Farm, a rustic winery whose cellar door is housed in a converted hay shed situated on top of a hill. Admire the antique copper tools used by pioneer winemakers more than 100 years ago while you sample the wines.
Finally, make your way to your last winery of the day, to the French champagne company Moet and Chandon's Australian production house. Take a private guided tour of the winery to see how sparkling wine is made, and then relax with a glass of bubbly and light nibbles while you marvel at the gorgeous vineyard views.
Your day trip ends with the return drive to Melbourne, where you are dropped off at your original pickup point.
Note: If lunch is not available at Balgownie Estate on the day of your tour, you'll have lunch at a similar venue.
Customer Reviews
March 2015
The tour was enjoyable largely due to the very knowledgable and humourous tour guide. Good wine to taste and a nice lunch.
March 2015
We had an absolutely AMAZING time on this trip! Tanina was one of the best tour guides I've had the pleasure of being lead by and the wines/wineries were all incredibly good in their own different ways. WHEN we come back to Australia, we'd definitely go out of our way to go on another tour with T!

paid those chics their money!! man *** u yard barker
If you're a fan of the Lingerie Football League, you're not going to like the tone from a press release from the league office that has some wondering what will become of brand. Talk of focusing on "the sport" and "its athletes" seems to point to the league possibly changing with a focus towards attracting a mainstream TV package within the United States. Via: As the LFL heads into its 4th season in the United States, the league is preparing to further brand the sport internationally. LFL officials have announced there will be a major re-branding next week, which could include as much as a name change, new uniforms, and game equipment modification. The move is rumored to position the brand with a greater focus on the athletics of the sport and its athletes. Mitchell S. Mortaza, Founder & Chairman of the Lingerie Football League, was quoted as saying, "This is the next step in the maturation of our now global sport. While the Lingerie Football League name has drawn great media attention allowing us to showcase the sport to millions, we have now reached a crossroad of gaining credibility as a sport or continuing to be viewed as a gimmick. In the coming years we will establish this sport in Canada, the US, Australia, Europe and Asia as the most known form of American football globally. In order to reach the next milestone, we feel the focus has to be the sport and our amazing athletes." The league spent 2012 on hiatus in the United States, then expanded into Canada and played all-star games in Australia. Mortaza mentioned in December that ESPN would be featuring the LFL in the spring, yet not elaborating on details. It should be noted that players aren't paid for playing in the LFL. The league contends that it needs more ticket sales to make that a possibility. More than 5,000 people have signed a Change.org petition to stop the sport in Australia over its practice of not paying players. The LFL plans to announce a league name change, new logo and overall brand shift during a January 9 press conference. [LFL 360] Filed under: Lingerie Football League
these chics only get paid on the weekends

focus on the sport and the athleticism? lol no one gives a rats ass about that we are just looking at all the babes in their sexy outfits good luck with that if you change their uniforms in anyway i guarantee you the lfl will go down in flames

Trinity Campus (corner 7th & Walnut)
Nursery: Nursery care is provided from 8:50 - 11:00AM each Sunday morning in Room 103 for children age 2 years and younger. Our Nursery attendants are loving and well-trained. Their focus is to help your child learn three basic truths: God Made Me, God Loves Me, and Jesus wants to be my friend forever. The staff has recently been trained and certified in both child and adult CPR as well as basic First Aid. The Nursery room is bright and cheerful with lots of fun age-appropiate toys for the little ones. Parents are required to fill out an information card on their first visit to help our staff know your child better. We are concerned about the safety of your child so parent and child are given name tags upon arrival which must match before a child can be released.
Pre-K - 5th grade: Sunday School is offered for children in room 201 from 10:15-11:00 AM each Sunday morning. This is the time when children transition from the Kid's Worship lesson they were doing to a more large group friendly activity. Sunday School is available for kids to come that have parent(s) attending another class within the church. The time may include discussions, videos, games, crafts, and a review of the weekly Bible story and memory verse. This is also a time when the children make new friends and develop social skills as they play and pretend together. Our Sunday School Teachers are certified in both child and adult CPR as well as basic First Aid.
