Booda booda booda!!!!
posted 7 years ago
I love Booda toys. They always hold up well and they're so cute. My dogs love this one, love to shake their heads back and forth with it in their mouths. Held up really well until one decided to rip the legs off. I would buy another.
Pros: durable
Cons: none

Bryan Appleyard quotes Richard Swinburne's bizarre claim that the explicability of the universe "points to the existence of a deity" (3 March, p 47). The irony, of course, is that inexplicability of phenomena used to be the chief evidence presented for the same conclusion - the "god of the gaps".
I suggest the claim makes sense only if the deity in question is not too much smarter than ourselves.
And are there really no good reasons for explicability? The mathematician Emmy Noether proved that the various laws of conservation - of energy and so on - can be derived merely from the assumption that the universe possesses certain symmetries. Not only does that make such simple laws almost inevitable in a habitable universe, it raises the possibility that they are not absolutely true, just extremely good approximations.
Further, there may an anthropic principle at work here: only in a universe ...

Kazakhstan Sees Oil Fund Assets Reaching $72.5 Billion by 2015
Aug. 27 (Bloomberg) -- Kazakhstan, central Asia's biggest energy producer, forecast its oil fund assets to jump to $72.5 billion by 2015.
The assets will grow to at least 30.4 percent of Kazakhstan's gross domestic product, said Economic Development and Trade Minister Kairat Kelimbetov, according to a copy of his speech e-mailed by the ministry today.
The nation's oil fund assets rose to $38.7 billion in July, according to the central bank's website. Kazakhstan, which holds about 3 percent of the world's oil reserves according to BP Plc, created the fund in 2000 to guard against declines in the price of crude.
The government plans to transfer 1.2 trillion tenge ($8.2 billion) a year from the oil fund to the budget from next year through 2014, Kelimbetov said.
Kazakhstan's nominal GDP is expected to grow from 28.9 trillion tenge next year to 44.7 trillion tenge by 2017, Kelimbetov said. Exports will rise from $75.7 billion in 2012 to $105.8 billion in 2016, while imports will increase from $40.9 billion in 2012 to $60 billion in 2016, he said.

I like this - something so natural about the image - both mundane but also filmic in its way - I like the composition - the divergent near vertical lines, the car coming in top left and all the converging lines moving in that direction.....it could be a frozen moment but for me it is the beginning of a narrative.....

An interesting street scene - I love the way the trees bend to shade the pavement and all the fine detail of the image - the one thing for me that could work so much better for the photograph is the timing on the first figure passing - shot a little earlier and framed between the two trees the figure would have been less unclear and provided a different balance against the distant figures but as it is one nicely gets the feel of the day.

As Captain Phillips continues to rack in millions worldwide, there is one player in the story who's not basking in the spotlight. Abduwali Muse, the only surviving Somali pirate involved with the 2009 hijacking of the Maersk Alabama is currently locked away in federal prison in Indiana, and only RadarOnline.com has obtained an exclusive look inside the horrific conditions he has suffered for the past several years — some say, unjustly.
Lesotho filmmaker Kaizer Matsumunyane, currently developing a film about Muse called The Smiling Pirate, has corresponded with Muse for years, and shared his insights on the situation with Radar.
"There is a saying that until the lion tells his story, the story of the hunt will always glorify the hunter," Matsumunyane tells Radar. "There are many versions to the story [of the Maersk Alabama] and I just want to tell a version that is not on the news or people know of."
VIDEO: Four Americans Remain Kidnapped At Sea By Somali Pirates
Though it may be easier for some to praise Phillips as the hero and blame the pirates as the villains, Matsumunyane says, "If you keep treating pirates as these faceless savages, without really knowing who they are and why they keep doing what they are doing,then piracy will continue to wreck lives. There is more to their story than what we get in the news …"
Matsumunyane first became intrigued with Muse's story when he saw a news report on Muse's incarceration that showed the man grinning in chains and handcuffs. "I couldn't understand who would be smiling in that position," he says. "That smile made me want to find out more about him."
The filmmaker sent letters for more than a year, and they all went unanswered. Little did he know that Muse had been thrown into solitary confinement under SAMs, or Special Administrative Measures, a type of special incarceration measures often used for terrorists like Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.
PHOTOS: Stars Who Died In Bizarre Ways
Muse, like many others imprisoned under SAMs, allegedly suffered harsh conditions that have been decried by Amnesty International USA, the Center for Constitutional Rights, and many other groups as inhumane and equivalent to "psychological torture".
"Muse says he was kept in solitary confinement for more than a year to make him plead guilty," Matsumunyane reveals. "He says he just wanted to plead guilty to get out of SAMs."
During Muse's interrogation, Matsumunyane claims, "His interrogators had photos of the dead friends [from the hijacking] and they kept showing him the photos and threatening that [they would do it] to him if he did not cooperate. He says he can still see those images of dead bodies.
"Others threatened that if he did not plead guilty, "his mother and family would be arrested as accomplices," Matsumunyane says.
Muse, then just a teen, began to crack under the pressure. According to a report by a prison doctor, Dr. Crowe, Matsumunyane claims, "Muse made several suicide attempts while in SAMs and experienced auditory and visual hallucinations. Dr. Crowe diagnosed Muse with depressive disorder, severe PTSD and anxiety disorder."
PHOTOS: Celebs Who Have Done Jail Time
"He says that SAMs made him start losing his mind," Matsumunyane says. "He just pleaded guilty to get out."
But even that didn't stop his inner turmoil. After getting out of SAMs, Muse allegedly tried to commit suicide again, and launched several attempted hunger strikes.
"Once, it took me more than a month to get through to Muse," Matsumunyane says. "When he finally wrote to me, he said he was in solitary confinement and they took his privileges away again because he tried to commit suicide. He could not understand why instead of helping him [recover emotionally from] his suicide attempts, they punished him."
As of last month, however, he is doing better. In an email dated October 16, 2013, Muse writes, "I am feeling much better today. Yesterday, Tuesday, Oct. 15, 2013 began the second day of my holiday, Eid Mubarak. I really had a wonderful time of praying, games and food … Man was it a wonderful day. Just for a moment I felt free… I almost forgot I was locked away. That to me was really a wonderful feeling. All praise due to Allah."
But on October 11, Captain Phillips hit theaters, and life began to change again for Muse. In a recent email he wrote, "Since the movie has come out, things seem to be even more difficult than to become easier [sic]….Man I tell you it is such a problem that it is really crazy. I really feel sad sometimes with the way they treat me, but after now four years, soon five, I am starting to figure things out with them and they do not make me feel so hurt and hateful as I used to, because I am getting used to them."
PHOTOS: Celebs Involved In Murder
Since his incarceration, Muse has learned to speak English and has been working in the prison, Matsumunyane says. From the $20 he makes each month, the government takes a chunk towards paying back the $500,000 fine that the Maersk shipping company was awarded in court as compensation for the hijacking.
And while some may say that this kind of a life is the price one pays for engaging in crime, Matsumunyane insists that there is another side to the story of the Maersk Alabama, and he is determined to tell it in his film.
The Smiling Pirate "is ready for production and I have completed the development phase of it," Matsumunyane says. "I was blessed to have the support of the Canada Council for the Arts, Toronto Arts Council, Goterborg International Film Festival, Eurodoc, Berlinale Talent Campus and people through Indiegogo in the development phase. At the moment I am securing funding for production."
"It is a hard story to tell because the moment people are vilified, no one wants to hear their story," he admits. "It's been a struggle trying to get funding to make this film, but I will not give up."

Vintage advertising signs whether for resale or even decorations have continued to be a preference for many because of their invaluable value. Getting them has however never been easy because of the difficult process of collecting them from all over the world. However, you no longer have to worry, just follow the following tips and you will be assured of getting the best antique advert materials.
Read diverse materials that document on how you are supposed to collect and even value the artifacts. For example, look at documented collectors and how they managed to get large materials from different sources. You should also establish the needed links that are important for you to get these materials; for example, stockist and trade fairs.
After deciding on the style of the advertising that you want, it is important to do online search. Peruse inventories of sellers such as vintage seekers to look whether they stock the materials you need. However, most of these shops are very costly and you need to be prepared to pay a lot of money. You could even place orders with them to deliver specific materials for you.
Print fair and flea market conducted annually usually bring together many people who stock these collections and ready to sell them. Remember that because more people come out to sell their items, the price could be lowered by the raised supplies. It is also advisable that you identify potential suppliers of people with capacity to get more and maintain their contacts for later collections.
Auction houses regularly deal with antique advertisement materials. Check them frequently and even sign for alerts for antique materials. After you have set up an account in their sites, carefully evaluate the stocked materials and make the best bid to beat others. You however need to carefully establish the state of the material that you are buying.
You could also consider getting the advertisement signs from people. Make a call for people who have such materials in their houses and would wish to sell them. Many people want to get modern thing and will therefore be happy to dispose the old artifacts especially for some dollars.
A professional specializing in historical artifacts can be of great assistance for you. Give him the details of the type of signs you are looking for and related uses. You further need to ensure that the professional has key skills in valuing such products. Though he will do the job at an extra cost, you can rest assured to get the best materials because he would do the search professionally.
After making your collection, it is advisable that you carefully catalog and store your vintage advertising signs. If they are for decorations, make sure to place them in the most strategic positions to achieve the allure that you wanted. If they are for business, carefully display them for clients. You further need to take their photos to send to clients and also insure them against dangers such as fire or theft.
You can order vintage advertising signs from our reputed site. See this page about vintage porcelain signs and vintage signs for sale by clicking on the link at http://www.roadrelics.com immediately.

As I walked into class the next week the teacher handed me back my first assignment. The look on her face spoke volumes. Written across the top in red ink was a brief note. It read: Unacceptable if youre not going to take this class seriously, please drop out now. I was in shock. Never had a teacher been so blunt and to the point (I later learned that blunt and to the point were effective tools of the creative writer).
After class I approached the teacher, mentioning the note and my feelings about it. I told her that I was indeed interested, and to prove it I wanted the opportunity to rewrite the last assignment. She obliged, giving me 24 hours to hand it back in. In that time I wrote the worlds most eloquent dissertation on the fear of clowns. It was funny, upbeat, and peppered with psychological ramblings.
A week after handing in that assignment my teacher pulled me aside after class and told me that she not only loved my paper, but had literally laughed out loud while reading it. Ill never forget that the look on her face was filled with complete sincerity. That moment inspired me to keep writing and ultimately began my love affair with the written word.
This weeks feature, Becoming Jane, is the story of one of historys most gifted crafters of the written word: Jane Austen. Austen, of course, is responsible for several seminal works including Sense and Sensibility and Pride and Prejudice, both of which have been made into feature films.
This picture has absolutely beautiful cinematography and involves not only wonderful acting performances, but also eloquently written dialogue. Unfortunately, the percentage of the public interested in this individual and time period is miniscule at best. To be honest Im shocked this film ever got the green light to be made. I was barely interested before I got to the theater and only vaguely interested while watching it, which is entirely unfortunate since it was so well made.
Fans of Jane Austen will love how this film resembles her poetic prose, even if the story deviated from actual events in her life. If youre in the mood for an English love story from the early 1800s or are a huge fan of Austens work, give this one a try. Its a solid film but very limited in its appeal. A poetic B- for Becoming Jane.

The discovery and rapid evolution of carbon nanotubes have led to a vastly improved understanding of nanotechnology, as well as dozens of possible applications for nanomaterials of different shapes and sizes ranging from composites to biology, medicine, energy, transportation, and electronic devices. Nanotubes and Nanofibers offers an overview of structure–property relationships, synthesis and purification, and potential applications of carbon nanotubes and fibers, including whiskers, cones, nanobelts, and nanowires.
Using research on carbon nanotubes as a foundation to further developments, this book discusses methods for growing and synthesizing amorphous and nanocrystalline graphitic carbon structures and inorganic nanomaterials, including wet chemical synthesis, chemical vapor deposition (CVD), arc discharge, and others. It also describes boron nitride and metal chalcogenide nanotubes in detail and reviews the unique properties and methods for characterizing and producing single-crystalline semiconducting and functional-oxide nanowires. The chapters also identify challenges involving the controlled growth, processing, and assembly of organic and inorganic nanostructures that must be addressed before large-scale applications can be implemented.
Edited by award-winning professor and researcher Dr. Yury Gogotsi, Nanotubes and Nanofibers offers a well-rounded perspective on the advances leading to improved nanomaterial properties for a range of new devices and applications including electronic devices, structural composites, hydrogen and gas storage, electrodes in electrochemical energy-storage systems, sorbents, and filters.

leaf edges curl upwards and end tips are turning brown, mg?
Posted 11 February 2010 - 08:48 PM
The plants are under 4 26w GE Reveal CFLs and are in a mix of potting soil, vermiculate/perlite, and EWCs. have added soil ammendments: blood meal, high P bat guano, kelp meal, and some dolomitic garden lime. water every few days and have given 1 AACT with EWCs, kelp meal and molasses. I have had some ph trouble in the past with the ph being too high.
I kinda feel like thier showing a mg deficiency but from what I understand the garden lime is supposed to have plenty of that. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Posted 15 February 2010 - 07:07 AM
Ive also considered potassium deficiency caused by perspiration in low humidity and have also heard that this can be locked out by calcium.
Mg and K are the only things I could find whose deficiencies show the symptoms of curled and browned leaf edges.
Ive tried to do my homework here but this is my first grow and Im just not familiar with what these defs look like, and the pictures and descriptions Ive found are often very ambiguous and inconsistent. could someone throw me a bone here? My babies are hurtin and thier buds arent growing like they should be.

The Complete guide to Sick Plants,pH, and Pest troubles! - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums
what kind of spectrum are the cfl's? 6500k, 3000k?? and 6 is best per plant with those cfl's.
Posted 15 February 2010 - 08:15 AM
but yeah....these bulbs are similar to the 6500k's and my plants seem to be liking them, I cant fit many more in my cab and my other plant is a midget, so I have the majority of 4 26w bulbs on my one plant.
Thanks for the link, that guide is actually one of the ones Ive been reading through. lemme try again though....let me know what you think.
Mg def. symptoms according to that (awesome) guide:
1)Interveinal chlorosis and yellowing of surrounding leaf: no
2)leaf tips curling up and getting crispy+spreading: yes
3)effecting middle to upper parts of fairly mature plant: yes
4)growing tips lime green: no, actually exactly the opposite
5)twisting leaves: yes
6) inner part of leaf yellow/brown: not yet
please bear with me, this is my first time trying to diagnose a sick plant.
Do you think that I should foliar feed with a small amount of garden lime which contains mg(I could also buy some epsom salts...)? this might help temporarily while I tried to fix my soil (it already has a lot of garden lime in it)?
Is there any way to tell how much calcium is in my water?

I have considered flushing my soil, is this what you mean by leach? Im not familiar with that process. I am definately going to switch to distilled water, perhaps if calcium is my prob. that will solve things. definately cant hurt. Thanks for the advice.

And thanks so much for your help, just one more question: If I flush my soil, which was supposed to contain most of the nutes for the duration of the grow, will I lose all of the good nutrients that were in balance along with whatever is hurting my plant? and how would you reccomend I replace these?

yah, but your nutes are unbalanced now do to ph. so the best thing to do is flush it, then on her next watering feed her a 1/2 strength dose of nute's, repeat then gradually over time get her back to full strenth that's the idea, to minimize stress and regain health.

If you are using chemical nutes a half may be too much, start at a 1/4
Posted 15 February 2010 - 07:32 PM
I guess I dont understand, how is my ph unbalanced? I mean it could be...I have some fairly innaccurate strips that Ive used to test it, but couldnt the ph be just fine and the problem be related to an excess of some nutrient? or are you saying that excess of certain nutrients causes ph imblance which is the thing that actually causes lockout of other nutes?
And yes... exactly. Most nutrients are only available to the plant at certain ph's and that is why you want to keep it in a certain range. I try to aim between 6-7 but some people have a more exact science to it. Also if you do hydro they use a different ph scale, I think like 5.5 -6.5 and soil is as mentioned above i belive, but shoot for closer to 7
Posted 15 February 2010 - 08:07 PM
you also have to listen to your plant, look's go allong way with growing weed, even though 6.5-6.8 is optimal for soil, some strain's or plant's like it on either side of that scale and sometime's even in the 6.9-7 area. i stay 6.7-6.9 for mine and they love it but my pure sativa(african) like's the 6.6-6.7 area. each plant grow's different and will stress when not in the sweet zone of there favorite ph.
your nutes are getting locked out due to ph. in soil grow's your nute's will often lower your tap to around 6.5-6.8, so mix and check it before pouring on your lady, by using to much nute's , to often, has built up salt's in your soil, changing your ph, and causing the nute lockout.

How to move Around:
Most of the main sites are located at The Mall. So, you can walk from one way to other, see every monument, every memorial and every museum (you wont have time to check them all anyway). Of course, you'll be dead at the end of the day so a good alternative is N.2:
2)The tourmobile
There are many hop on hop off companies around but we used the tourmobile just because it covers all the stops inside the Mall but also the Arlington cemetery. The daily ticket costs $27 ($35 for 2 days) and you can use it from 9.30 to 16.30, we didn't have to wait more than 10' at any stop.
3)public transport
Buses and metro lines will take you further from the Mall. The DC Metro has 5 lines but it wasn't really helpful for us and many places were away from metro stations. Buying a ticket at the metro stations is complicated, you need to know what is your final destination and check the price on the panel of the station you are. Then you put the money and take the ticket. Minimum fare is $1.75($1.45 off peak hours) and increases depending on the length of the trip but no more than $4.60. We used a day pass one day so not to have to check for tickets in every station, the day pass costs about $9 and the weekly pass for $28.
Are you crazy? No easy way to find a parking spot, terrible traffic so no, no, no
Capitol Underground
Congressmen and Senators don't have to mind inclement weather to get from their offices to a floor vote as there is an underground tramway from the office buildings to the Capitol and back. There is an elaborate bell system throughout the complex to alert the senator or congressman that a vote is coming and they have 15 minutes to make the vote. The capitol underground wasn't entirely limited to members only, at least not in December, 1995, when I showed my friend Takashi the Capitol. We got out passes from my (then) Representative Herb Bateman (R) and were invited to this underground tramway I hadn't heard of before then. I don't know whether Members can make such invitations in the post 11 September 2001 world in which we now live.
How To Go There:
-By bus
We arrived in Washington DC by bus from Philadelphia in 2,5 hours and we payed only $2! MEGABUS is a great low cost bus company that offers great offers. From Washington DC you can find buses to New York, Baltimore and Philadelphia. Check their site (http://us.megabus.com/) for more details. The bus departs at the Parking Lot H St. NW opp. 10th St. NW
-by train
Union station is located at the city center, 2' from the Congress. It's a big train station with hundreds of train going everywhere from here so thousand of people come and go daily. At the lower level you can find some cheap restaurants
-by plane
There are 3 different airports near/around DC:
1)Ronald Reagan/DCA), just across the river from the city with its own metro station
2)Dulles International Airport/IAD, 40km west of DC, Metrobus 5A will take you to metro (Rosslyn or L'enfant Plaza)
3)BWI(50km NE), We flew to New Orleans from BWI because the flights from there are usually much cheaper, especially when it comes to domestic budget flights.
Public Transit in D.C. ...Metro/Bus
While I was in the D.C. Area I used Public Transit in and around the area.
I found it to be easy and functional for my purposes.I used a combination Metro [Subway] and bus to access the downtown core including the Mall area.I used it to get to and from BWI[Baltimore Washington International Airport] and I used it to travel to a suburb called Rockville in Maryland.
I used the bus most days to and from the B&B where I stayed in the NW section of DC...everyday I used the Number 80 to travel North and South from Union Station to North Capital and Bryant street.
I had a basic idea of how and where I would be able to move around from using the Internet site of the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit authority.
All of my experiences were positive and I wouldnt hesitate to use it again.I found it to be convenient and practical.
From my home in Ottawa I was able to order via the Internet a "Smartrip" card that had a $ 30.00 value attached to it...its possible to load it with more value if necessary and can be done on-line.
This "Transit card" has a chip in it and is useable on both buses and the Metro in the DC area...
When getting on a bus the card has to be passed over the sensor and the amount of the fare is deducted form the existing value on the card.When using the Metro...the card is passed over the sensor to access the gate...then when your trip is finished and you are leaving the gated area pass the card over the sensor and again the fare is calculated and deducted from the existing amount.HOW easy can it be...there's no fumbling around looking for change or money to pay the fares ...SIMPLE !
It was delivered to my house by regular mail and took all of four days to get up here.Related to:

How to get to 395 South from Downtown
Interstate 395 is about 14 miles, and it is also known as the Henry G. Shirley Memorial Highway. It extends North from I-95/I-495 near Springfield, VA. to New York Avenue (US 50) in DC. If you happen to be in the downtown area visiting the Museums, and you want to get to 395 South, simply make your way to 9th Street and Constitution Avenue.
Greyhound Bus Station
The Greyhound / Peter Pan Bust station is located @ 1005 1st St NE. It is walking distance from Union Station, but I do not recomend walking from Union Station to the Bus station at night. If you wanna travel to NYC, which I have done several times, they have an express bus that leaves every hour and the round trip is about $45.
Metro to Georgetown
There is no direct METRO access to Georgetown as it is out-of-the way. Taking a private car or taxi is a good idea. Another alternative is to get off the "Foggy Bottom" stop and walk past the hospital en route to historic Georgetown. There is also the recently-available public transportation option (bus) called the "DC Circulator" that plies the Georgetown-Union Station route every 10 mins. on an everyday basis. I remember the fare was only $1.00/OW. See website for further info & schedule: http://www.dccirculator.com/

Union Station
Union Station is one of the most beautiful train stations in the United States. It openned in 1907and it considered to be a prime example of Beaux-Arts architecture. At the time it was built, the station cover more ground than any other building in the United States. Today, Union Station has a shopping center, various restaurants, and a movie theater. Perfect place to catch the Amtrack train to your next destination.
Super Shuttle from/to D.C. and from/to Airport
A cab from Airport to Downtown would cost about 50$.
Or U can catch the Super Shuttle that's a shared van (4-6 persons per run) for 22$ (+10$ for each addictional person in your party to the same location).
In the airport, U can catch it just outside the Arrivals' gates and pay directly to the driver.
From Hotel/downtown U can book the run to airport by internet (and pre-pay it online) or by phone-call.
A good deal compared to a cab and much more comfortable than taking the bus from Airport to "West Fall Church" Metro Station (orange line) and than take the metro with all the luggages...
Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport
Located about three miles (five kilometers) west of central Washington, D.C. in Arlington, Virginia, Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) is the closest commercial airport to the nation's capital. With the exception of some flights to Canada, all flights into and out of the airport serve domestic destinations.
Airlines serving Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport: Air Canada, Air Canada Express, Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, American Eagle, Delta Air Lines, Frontier Airlines, Midwest Airlines, Southwest Airlines, Spirit Airlines, United Airlines, US Airways, US Airways Express, US Airways Shuttle, and Virgin America.
Taxi ***Updated... new DC fare system!***
Woohoo! DC taxis now use the same method other First World and some Third World cities use... a meter! What a concept.
So here's the "new deal:" You pay $3.00 to sit in the cab and go the first 1/6th of a mile. Each additional 1/6th of a mile is another quarter dollar (so after the initial $3 you pay $1.50 per mile). They still have a boatload of additional fees such as $1.50 for each additional passenger, $2.00 for large luggage in the trunk plus another $0.50 if the driver puts it in the trunk for you, a $2.00 telephone dispatch fee (if you call and request a cab instead of flagging it down on the street), $1 per animal unless its a service dog, snow emergency fare of 125 percent the regular fare, and a $2 charge for any "service" the driver performs away from the vehicle... that's a good deal, the women who perform services in DC charge a few hundred dollars... but alas, their only meter is the good, old-fashioned watch.
The link below has a taxi fare estimator for a ride within the city limits of DC.
My original tip... from 2005
Washington DC taxis are about as confusing as they come. Instead of running a meter, you are billed by zone. This means that a 5-minute ride might cost the same as a 30-minute ride depending on the number of zones you cross. Another way they confuse you is to charge per passenger ($1.50 per person). Don't forget about the rush hour surcharge ($1.00), the snow-emergency rates (double the normal fare), the suitcase rate ($0.50 per bag), the large object rate ($2.00 per object), and the radio dispatch surchage ($1.00). To make things even worse, there are Maryland, Virginia, and DC cabs all in the same city, and all operating under different rules.
Because it was raining, we took a taxi the short trip from DuPont Circle to Adams Morgan for $13. The next night we took a taxi from DuPont circle all the way to Arlington for the same exact price.
A Fun Way to Tour
This is a tour of the area wherein you travel on a DUCK. That's right...a duck.
This tour is run by Old Town Trolley. It is called m "DC Ducks Land and Sea Tours."
They leave hourly from Union Station.Related to:

Taxi is not that expensive!
For visitor on a budget the taxi is usually the last option, right? I have to admit that taxi cabs, especially for shorter distances, are not that expensive in DC :-). There are over 80 taxicab companies with different fares. Can you imagine the competition? The companies are from both Washington, DC, Virginia and from Maryland.
1. There is a $1.00 charge for radio-dispatched cabs, so it's cheaper to hail a taxi on a street. Hmm... in Poland it's up to 30% cheaper when you call for a taxi.
2. There are non-smoking and smoking cabs (I didn't know it before).
3. You are required to buckle up while riding in a cab. Hmm... my old cab was equipped with only waist seat belts in the back seat.
4. Watch for additional fares:
- extra $1.00 during rush hours (7 am - 9.30 am and 4 pm - 6.30 pm),
- extra luggage (over 1 piece): $0.5 - $2.00 (depends on size) per piece,
- $ 1.50 for each additional passenger (1 child up to 5 years old is free), it's very strange for me :-(. Does it works the same way in other US cities?
5. Tipping a taxi driver cab is a matter of personal preference as I know. I would tip my taxi driver, but unfortunately he coudn't speak English enough well me to understand him :-).
6. Some taxi drivers can't speak English well, they are understable for natives, I suppose but... I couldn't understand mine well at all.
7. I found out the hard way that taxicabs have the right to pick up other fares while transporting you. Well, when you request your cabbie drive only you, you may be charged extra for the exclusive treatment. Hmm... I saw it in... Morocco last time.
8. I could pay both by cash and by my Visa card.

Taxi for $5 only :-)
In contrast to most (all?) US cities Washington's cabs (on rides inside DC area only!) don't determine fares by meter, but rather by the zone system - map here. If you take a taxi trip from one point to another within the same zone you pay only $5 (off peak hours, when you hail a taxi and are alone with 1 piece of luggage or less).
- $1.50 charge for each additional passenger after the first (excluding 1 child up to 5 years old);
- $1 per trip during rush hour, between 7 am and 9.30 am and 4 am and 6.30 pm weekdays;
- surcharge of $1 when you telephone for a cab;
- 0.5$ - $2.00 per piece of extra luggage (over 1).
Just in case, the following points and tourist attractions are inside central zone 1 (up to 4.5 mi diameter area):
- U.S. Capitol,
- most of the Smithsonian museums,
- Dupont Circle,
- the White House,
- the Washington Monument,
- the FBI,
- the National Archives,
- the Supreme Court,
- the Library of Congress,
- the Bureau of Engraving and Printing,
- the Old Post Office,
- the Ford's Theatre and others.
By law, basic rates are posted in each cab. There is a base fare of only $5 for ride inside zone 1 or subzones of zone 2 - 8. Crossing each border of zones costs approx. $1.50. Haha, eventually, you can drive from border to border, crossing it on foot and taking next taxi, hmm... would you like it?

Virgin America
Traveling from LAX to DC via Virgin America is the way to go! No nonsense direct flights, fairly inexpensive and seems to operate very efficiently. No lines, it takes about 2-3 minutes to check in. They take your luggage right at the check-in counter. The plane itself is standard, no extra leg room but they have electrical outlets on the seat in from of you to work on your laptops. Movies will cost about $7 to view but there are a number of older movies you can view for free. I was amused that once we arrived at Dulles Airport that we immediately had to board a gigantic contraption on wheels and hydraulics that scooted to another part of the airport so you can get your luggage and exit. Most airports have updated to having some type of rail system.Related to:

So I recently began caring about how I set up my home, what the exterior looks like, and how many points I can garner from it. I've managed to get 470,000 points thus far. Lyle says my home exterior is perfection (I have the Rustic theme going on), and that his crew really loves my second floor room (Full Green furniture set with a few plants and mini-fossil models.) The main room has the mixed wood set, right room has the cabin set, north room has the alpine, and left room the blue set. I've furnished it all with plants, bonsai, etc etc, trying to keep to the 3 of a set per room type of thing. I just don't know what else to do to up my points at this time. I have the Golden Roof as an optional reward now, and would like to get the Golden Fence Reward when I reach 500,000 points. Furthermore, I thought I was supposed to recieve the Golden Home Model when I reached 150,000 points but I never did! Did anyone else encounter that problem? Anyway, what are you doing to get more points?

I just hit 100,000 today. Basically just move stuff around in your house everyday and talk to he HHA guy everyday and he should give you some pointers and compliments. Try to collect a lot of suited furniture and try to follow feng shui.
Ill post a dream code later if you'd like to see my house
Here's what I did for 2m HHA points (you only need 1.1m for the golden mailbox).
Outside: Grass roof, log cabin exterior, hedge fence
Main Room: Green set (gemmed) (plus fruit sets)
Back Room: Cabin set (plus totems and cactii)
Right Room: Modern Wood, all my japanese DLC items, big plants
Left Room: Alpine set (most of my flowers)
Upstairs: Blue set (with animals) (gemmed) (lots of bonzai's)
Basement doesn't count towards it so I didn't bother. It was storage for my feng shui set up.
Lol nevermind, I just read your post.

Seems we picked the same theme and had the same train of thought then. That's all the sets I chose as well. I was thinking about Gemming my Green set, I figured it'd look nice too. What exactly do you mean by "Fruit sets" however? Did you just have Fruit in baskets? Or the Fruit Furniture? I'll have to look up the Totem sets, I have been asking on the online board for Cactii but no one seems to have it for sale =/... Great idea on alpine set with flowers, and again, what all do you mean with animals on the blue set? The teddy bears? Anyway, I appreciate your feedback!! Is there any way I could get your dream address to take a look at your house??

Right now I'm at 117k with only 1 completed set without the theme challenge..only thing I can say is follow a theme in each room (or make every room the same theme if you are doing the challenge) and if you can make every item the same color or as many as you can...both of those add a lot of points...also get the bug/fish of the season for a ton of lucky item points 7777 each, there isn't a item for lucky bonus like there was in June (it was carnations) August though has fireworks as a lucky item...
Also completing sets seems to give the biggest bonus over everything else...try to complete a room in every room except the basement since that doesn't count(I'm still working on this I'm nearly done completing the rococo, alpine, kiddy stuff) then there are item sets like the cat set (all 4 lucky cats) the bear set (the 3 teddy bears) and a couple others...

I'm trying to find the exact site that I used.
By "fruits" I mean stuff like apple clock, apple TV, grapefruit table, kiwi chair, lemon table etc.
Basically you WANT to strip EVERYTHING out of your house not labelled as "rustic" cause it'll hurt your score. I've changed up my house already since I hit it but if you'd like I could still let you have the dream code. The rococo room is what used to be cabin though. (I'm currently in the middle of another remodel :-) ) Once I find the search site I used, I'll post it. Basically I went down a list of all "rustic" items and removed anything not on the list. Then I evened out the rooms so they looked good to me. The feng shui stuff is non-sense as far as points goes. I just kinda steamrolled through it.

Nevermind my inbox message then! Haha. Thanks, I think that actually helps a lot. I had a lot of non-rustic sets so now that I know that anything other than rustic hurts my score I'll adjust and move stuff around. Hoping I can get the rest of my rewards soon :) Still wish I knew what happened to my Golden House Model reward =/ When did you get yours?

That site has all the things. Go categories, furniture, and then Rustic for theme. That'll show you everything you can use in your house.
My address is 5700-2137-0481.
The center, left, right, and for the most part upstairs all have the sets I used. You'll see all the extra stuff cluttering it up. (nevermind the basement... that started as a joke and went too far too fast)

Pollination and Floral Ecology is the most comprehensive single-volume reference to all aspects of pollination biology--and the first fully up-to-date resource of its kind to appear in decades. This beautifully illustrated book describes how flowers use colors, shapes, and scents to advertise themselves; how they offer pollen and nectar as rewards; and how they share complex interactions with beetles, birds, bats, bees, and other creatures. The ecology of these interactions is covered in depth, including the timing and patterning of flowering, competition among flowering plants to attract certain visitors and deter others, and the many ways plants and animals can cheat each other.
Pollination and Floral Ecology pays special attention to the prevalence of specialization and generalization in animal-flower interactions, and examines how a lack of distinction between casual visitors and true pollinators can produce misleading conclusions about flower evolution and animal-flower mutualism. This one-of-a-kind reference also gives insights into the vital pollination services that animals provide to crops and native flora, and sets these issues in the context of today's global pollination crisis.

The KKK Learns the Hard Way: Don't Mess With Anonymous
via Take Part:
The hacktivist collective hacked the Ku Klux Klan's Twitter account after the white supremacists threatened Ferguson protesters.
Participants of one group wear hoods, while members of the other cloak their identity with the mystery of the Internet and Guy Fawkes masks. Despite all that secrecy, most folks would agree that's where the similarities between the Ku Klux Klan and Anonymous begin and end. But the two organizations are now engaged in a war after the hacktivist collective took over several of the hate group's Twitter accounts and revealed the identities of purported KKK members on social media.
In a YouTube video posted on Sunday announcing Operation KKK, Anonymous stated, "We are not attacking you [the KKK] because of what you believe in, as we fight for freedom of speech. We are attacking you because of your threats to use lethal force against us at the Ferguson protests."

Anonymous Calls for "Mike Brown's Law" in Response to Missouri Police Killing of Unarmed 17-year-old
Greetings world, we are Anonymous.
On August 9th in Ferguson, Missouri the 17 year old and unarmed Mike Brown was shot several times and killed by an officer of the Ferguson Police Department. His body was left to lie in a pool of blood in the sweltering heat for hours while 15 police departments militarized the area against protesters, sealed the roads leading to Ferguson in a vain attempt to prevent protesters from reaching the city. The police has clearly crossed a line in the sand.
For this reason Anonymous will not be satisfied this time, as we have in the past – with simply obtaining justice for this young man and his family. Anonymous demands that the Congressional Representatives and Senators from Missouri introduce legislation entitled "Mike Brown's Law" that will set strict national standards for police conduct and misbehaviour in the USA.
To the good people of Ferguson, take heart – and take your streets.… Read the rest

Hacks continue as FBI claims to have dismantled Anonymous
… Read the rest
The FBI is declaring victory over Anonymous in a series of statements claiming the hacker collective is no longer able to carry out large, successful operations because most of its "largest players" have been arrested or detained by US law enforcement authorities.
"Has anyone seen my leg? I'm in pieces over here!" tweeted one Anonymous-affiliated account. "SHOUTOUTZ TO ALL TEH DISMANTLEZ CREWZ OUT THERE IN SCARED OF TEH FBI LAND LOLOLOLOL," tweeted @OpLastResort, an account managed by Anons closely associated with the collective's most recent hacks.
The @OpLastResort account then dumped a large amount of information stolen from what appear to be servers used by the FBI's Regional Forensics Computer Laboratory (RFCL). A large amount of the information appears to have been scrubbed from computer files as early as January of this year. Such data can only be obtained with direct access to servers.
Personal information from the data can also be taken and used in "social engineering" and phishing attacks to gain further access to secure information.
Hacker Who Exposed Steubenville Rapists Raided By FBI, Faces Ten-Year Prison Sentence
Prison sentence for rape: a year or two. Prison sentence for hacking a high school football team's website in order to expose said rapists: potentially a decade, Mother Jones reports:
… Read the rest
In April, the FBI quietly raided the home of the hacker known as KYAnonymous (whose real name is Deric Lostutter) in connection with his role in the Steubenville rape case. Today he spoke out for the first time about the raid and his motivations for pursuing the Steubenville rapists.
Lostutter may deserve more credit than anyone for turning Steubenville into a national outrage. After a 16-year-old girl was raped by two members of the Steubenville High football team last year, he obtained and published tweets and Instagram photos in which other team members had joked about the incident and belittled the victim.
Lostutter says he played no role in the hacking the Steubenville team's fan page; he points out that another hacker, Batcat, has publicly taken the credit.
Statement from Jeremy Hammond Regarding His Plea
via freejeremy.net:
… Read the rest
Today [May 28, 2013] I pleaded guilty to one count of violating the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. This was a very difficult decision. I hope this statement will explain my reasoning. I believe in the power of the truth. In keeping with that, I do not want to hide what I did or to shy away from my actions. This non-cooperating plea agreement frees me to tell the world what I did and why, without exposing any tactics or information to the government and without jeopardizing the lives and well-being of other activists on and offline.
During the past 15 months I have been relatively quiet about the specifics of my case as I worked with my lawyers to review the discovery and figure out the best legal strategy. There were numerous problems with the government's case, including the credibility of FBI informant Hector Monsegur. However, because prosecutors stacked the charges with inflated damages figures, I was looking at a sentencing guideline range of over 30 years if I lost at trial.
Anonymous Attacks NAMBLA
I was blissfully unaware that April 25 was "Alice Day", an occasion for pedophiles to celebrate their proclivities. However, Anonymous was very much aware. The hacker organization took down several pedo and pedo-friendly websites, including NAMBLA's (The North American Man-Boy Love Association). What are your thoughts about the attack on NAMBLA? Do you approve? What about the organization's rights to free speech? Is there a line? Where should it be drawn, Disinfonauts?
More about the attack can be found here:

Target No. 1 is a Russian-hosted imageboard filled with password-protected albums such as "boy Self pics" and "girls in the bathroom." Target No. 2 is a "free bookmarking & blogging platform" with "sex" in the URL. Target No. 3 is a popular porn-streaming site with the tagline "where anything legal stays" and the unfortunate reputation for lax security measures against user-submitted underage content. (In talking to the Anonymous source, this is the one he seemed most excited about taking down.) Another is a North American Man-Boy Love Association page.
Anonymous Versus Westboro Baptist Church
The Westboro Baptist Church, widely reviled for its homophobic beliefs and protests of veteran funerals, announced on Saturday that it would picket at Sandy Hook Elementary School following the tragic shooting there Friday that took the lives of 27 people. Members of Anonymous began an operation against the Church to discourage them from protesting at the school and compounding the misery already experienced by Newtown residents. In a video uploaded by KY Anonymous, the hacker collective states: We will not allow you to corrupt the minds of America with your seeds of hatred...

Officials ask that the public steer clear of Faith Lutheran Church on Fourth St. NE, Valley City, after fire caused extensive damage to the structure Monday morning.
A cause for the fire has not been determined, so until an investigation is complete and the structure is safe, the Valley City Fire Department and church officials ask that nobody enter the building.
Inspectors from the North Dakota State Fire Marshall's office and from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms investigated the scene Monday afternoon. The cause of the blaze has not been released pending their investigation.
Valley City Parks and Recreation's board approved a policy on Oct. 2 that prohibits the use of any tobacco products in most of their recreational facilities, both outdoor and enclosed areas, according to VCPR Director Tyler Jacobson.
The board wants to create and sustain a recreation environment that supports a clear tobacco-free norm and helps protect the health of our youth, Jacobson said.

SAN ANTONIO -- Police saya41-year-old man wanted in six robberies at downtown businesses was shot and killed by detectives on early Wednesday evening, marking the third officer-involved shooting this month.
Helicopter footage taken after the shooting showed about a dozen police cruisers surrounding a taped-off crime scene at the Days Inn on Laredo Street and I-35 South.
San Antonio police Chief William McManus said the suspect had three aggravated robbery warrants and is wanted in connection to six robberies at downtown businesses.
They've been looking this guy since January, McManus said.
Police saidsix officersgot word that thesuspect was at the Days Inn. Theywere in the process of serving three felony warrants for his arrest at around 6:30 p.m Wednesday.Authoritiessaid one detective was in the office, another was out back and four more were outside when they spotted the suspect walking out the front door with a .40 caliber.
When he saw the detective -- detectives -- he shouted,'Police! Police,' McManus said. And at that point the suspect pulled a gun from his waistband.
The suspect fired one shot, police said, before the four undercover detectives fired back, striking him in the chest and killing him instantly. The suspect was pronounced dead at 6:43 p.m.
McManus said the suspect was carrying two fully loaded magazines.
A woman with the suspect was taken in for questioning and later released.
The four detectives who fired at the suspecthave been placed on administrative leave pending the investigation, police said.
Wednesday's shooting marks the third officer-involved shooting in April.
The first occurred on April 4, when a San Antonio police officer fatally shot a 52-year-old man they said swung a machete at the officer during a domestic disturbance in the 11600 block of Sandman Street.
A day later, three policemen opened fire on a 42-year-old man they said was waving a gun and ranting about his girlfriend in a grassy field in the 1500 block of Fitch Street. He was shot in the legs and did not die.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) - The reports in the media aren't lies or assumptions, but they're certainlystirring up quite a bit of chaos between Instagrammers.
On Monday, Instagram, a completely free organization bringing in virtually no money, announced an update to theircurrent Terms of Service that would bring in some dollars to itself, as well as Facebook, which purchased the photo sharing app months ago.
While the Facebook/Instagram acquisition was being decided upon,Business Insider reported when they askedco-founder Kevin Systrom how Instagram made money. He answered, "That's a great question. We do not."
One article being tossed around Twitter is from CNet.com with the headline,"Instagram says it now has the right to sell your photos." It seems that many articles with headlines such as this threw Tweeps into a whirlwind,placing Instagramin the top 10 Twitter trends for the day. After examining the current policy,the changes arerather minimum.
Social Media Today broke Instagram's policy changes down into these two sentences:
1. They can sell your photos to create ads.
2. They can use your photos in the Instagram feed to create stories.
The current Instagram Terms of Service reads, "By displaying or publishing ("posting") any Content on or through the Instagram Services, you hereby grant to Instagram a non-exclusive, fully paid and royalty-free, worldwide, limited license to use, modify, delete from, add to, publicly perform, publicly display, reproduce and translate such Content, including without limitation distributing part or all of the Site in any media formats through any media channels, except Content not shared publicly ("private") will not be distributed outside the Instagram Services."
A writer for Social Media Today wrote that the real addition is the possibility for Instagram to useuser content to create ads, much like Facebook's Sponsored Stories.
While these changes take away from the simplicity of Instagram, it may necessary for the company to continue providing their service to users.
Around 2:00 p.m. Tuesday, Instagram tweeted, "We've heard you that the updates to our Privacy Policy & Terms of Service are raising a lot of questions. We'll have more to share very soon."
Two hours later, Systrom published a blog post titled "Thank you and we're listening," to say that as they review their user feedback and stories in the press, they're going to modify specific parts of the Terms of Service to make it more clear what will happen with user photos.
Touching on one of the most talked about facets of the changes, Systrom wrote, "I always want you to feel comfortable sharing your photos on Instagram and we will always work hard to foster and respect our community and go out of our way to support its rights."
Additionally, Systrom wrote that legal documents are easy to misinterpret. In the post, hedescribes the modifications into layman's terms. Read the post here: http://on.kthv.com/V5yPBX

What a day this has been; My boss just got the ax, a complete surprise to many of us (and I'm pretty high on the food chain).
From what I know, there is no chance this goes beyond that to other staffers, but this is a pretty small organization and a lot of people are walking around stunned. The guy'd been here at least two decades.
Now, here's the weird thing- he's still in his office, working. My understanding is that most involuntary separations usually result in the immediate end of the relationship, it appears he's working through the day. I'd have a hard time sticking around.

In Punjab, his son and Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Badal is virtually running the administration
With the Janata Dal (United) out of the National Democratic Alliance and Sharad Yadav stepping down as the convener, the vacancy of this top assignment is being actively eyed by Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal, head of the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) and long-time ally of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). In fact, top-level sources in the SAD have indicated to The Hindu that Mr. Badal has been sent informal feelers and he will be taking a firm decision after consulting the party once he returns from an overseas holiday on June 22.
This is not the first time that the Sikh leader has been considered for this assignment. His name had cropped up when George Fernandes stepped down due to ill health in December 2008, but Mr. Badal had reservations on taking on the responsibility at that time, possibly because his priority then was to consolidate his newly elected government in Punjab. The situation now is vastly different and voices from within the SAD are already exhorting him to take it up. "Senior leaders in the party are keen that he take up the offer and use it as a stepping stone to enter national politics," said a senior Akali politician.
In Punjab, his son and Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Badal is virtually running the administration and most see his elevation to the top job as a given one. The junior Badal has also proved himself to be an able politician as he has led the Akali Dal to several electoral triumphs in the last few years. All this is expected to leave Mr. Badal with plenty of time to devote to national affairs, but sacrificing the chief ministership to become the NDA convener is not an attractive prospect as yet, the sources have said.
It is also not without significance that Mr. Badal and his son were among the first to congratulate Narendra Modi when he was made chairman of the BJP's campaign committee.
Sagacious politician
Besides, being a seasoned and sagacious politician, Mr. Badal will bring a vocal minority voice to the NDA table, one that is expected to blunt to some extent, the anti-minority tag that the BJP has attracted with Mr. Modi's elevation. His supporters are at pains to explain that he is popular even within the miniscule Muslim population in Punjab and as five-time Chief Minister of Punjab, the octogenarian leader has all the qualifications to be the NDA convener.
Keywords: Parkash Singh Badal, BJP-JD(U) split, BJP ally, Shiromani Akali Dal, National Democratic Alliance

Program/Project Management
SWAT teams of painters, contractors, engineers, designers, suppliers and other construction professionals are primed to put their skills into service for poor families in Chicago.
Teams are gathering gear and polishing plans for their fourth annual AEC Cares community building project on the eve of AIA's National Convention.
This year, the industry's volunteer coalition will renovate a 40,000-square-foot HeadStart child development center on Chicago's South Side. The center serves more than 120 of Chicago's neediest children, ages six weeks to five years, and their families.
ProjectChicago will bring together more than 150 volunteers from the AEC community to renovate a vacant elementary school for low-income children and families. The building blitz is June 25, the day before AIA's National Convention.
The renovation, called projectChicago, will involve gutting, painting, cleaning and improving the vacant elementary school.
Planning has been underway for months. The actual building blitz will take place June 25, the day before the American Institute of Architects opens its three-day annual conference in Chicago. The theme this year: "Design with Purpose."
"AEC Cares is about linking architecture and construction professionals to the communities where we work," the organization says.
Help Needed
ProjectChicago is still seeking sponsors, donations, volunteers and public support to fill its lengthy wish list. The site's many needs include paint and painting supplies, light fixtures, carpet, cabinetry and countertops, indoor and outdoor playground equipment, and more. Learn more on the AEC Cares' Facebook page.
Sponsors and donations are still needed for projectChicago.
Corporate sponsors of projectChicago include USG Corp.; Troutman Sanders LLP; The Vinyl Institute; Panolam Surface Systems; Bluewolf; Wiley; Kawneer; Holcim; Kompan; MechoSystems; and MortarNet Solutions. Project team members have stepped forward from Gensler; Muller+Muller; FH Paschen; SMNG; and Latent Design.
Sponsor Sherwin-Williams has donated more than 100 gallons of paint, 25 volunteers, and cash to the effort.
In addition, through an arrangement with Amazon.com, Amazon Smile will donate five percent of purchases made through that site to AEC Cares. (The donation adds no cost to the purchase.)
From NOLA to Denver
This is the fourth year of AEC Cares' pre-AIA building blitz.
In 2011, projectNOLA rebuilt five houses that had been devastated by Hurricane Katrina. In 2012, more than 100 projectDC volunteers transformed a dilapidated two-story house in Washington, DC, into a residence for homeless youths.
In 2013, more than 150 projectDenver volunteers transformed a converted 75-year-old hospital into clean, safe, sound, attractive transitional housing for vulnerable populations. Teams tackled the facility inside and out, from new paint and flooring, to a cafeteria renovation, to new landscaping, and new lighting.
In 2012, AEC Cares' projectDC transformed a blighted house into a shelter for homeless youths.
"When it's bright, nasty lighting like this, it's not a soothing place for them to heal," Emily Sinclair, the project's interior designer, told the Denver Post.
"It was in such desperate need of a face-lift and actually making it a healing place for them."
More than 50 companies participated in the Denver blitz and about $100,000 in cash and materials was donated.
The Chicago project will partner AEC Cares with Metropolitan Family Services.
Making it Happen
The project begins each year with Reed reaching out to the AEC community in that year's AIA convention city.
ProjectDenver project manager Jeana Krause (left), of Layton Construction, called the experience "a true gift."
From there, a pro bono design team is created that includes contractors and project managers. Hanley Wood helms the logistics, while Reed manages fundraising and event coordination.
"The collaboration is a holistic process because everyone involved brings something to the project," a Reed spokeswoman said.
Jeana Krause, of Layton Construction, said projectDenver had begun as an obligation for her, but ended as a gift of friendship, experience and new connections. Krause was project manager for the build.
Chicago architect Brandy Koch has worked on several AEC Cares projects and will be the design team's lead architect and project manager at projectChicago.
Koch says the blitz builds are the best part of the AIA Convention.
The projects get her "excited about the profession and what we can do," she says in a blog post on lifeofanarchitect.com.
Architects don't just do "fancy and glitzy," she adds. "[We can] put our work where it makes a difference."
