Battle lines drawn over bike and pedestrian-friendly features in York and Shrewsbury
York residents back retention of new cycle lane, but Shrewsbury's cabbies slam pedestrian crossing
York and Shrewsbury are home to two of Britain's best preserved medieval centres, and both have provided the setting for plenty of historical drama down the years. Right now, however, it's 21st Century traffic management schemes favouring cyclists and pedestrians that have residents of both places – each of which benefits from Cycling Town & City status – up in arms.
In York, the majority of residents who replied to a survey regarding the proposed reinstatement of a filter lane at a key road junction in the city, replacing a cycle lane that was introduced last year, have expressed that they are opposed to the plans.
According to a report in the York Press, they have been joined in opposing the proposals by the emergency services and local cycling campaign groups.
Following the introduction of the cycle lane at Water End, where cars were previously able to turn left, there has been an increase in motor traffic on Westminster Road and The Avenue as a result of drivers seeking a short cut that would avoid the traffic lights.
Ken King, councilor for Clifton ward, expressed surprise at the volume of support for keeping the cycle lane in place, telling the newspaper: "I'm incredibly surprised by this response given the strength of feeling ward councillors have encountered since the lane was removed.
"We will look at the results of the survey over the coming days and analyse residents' responses.
"Far and away the largest number opposing reinstatement are categorised as coming from 'elsewhere', rather than from a named street, so we need confidence that these people have not responded from every corner of the city before drawing proper conclusions from the results."
The final decision on whether or not to put the filter lane back in place will be made next month by Councillor Steve Galloway, the council's executive member for city strategy.
Meanwhile, in Shrewsbury, taxi drivers want a new central reservation in the town centre to removed, saying that it is not safe, causes traffic congestion and is affecting their trade.
A pedestrian crossing was put in place in September between Roushill and the Frankwell footbridge, providing a link from a walking and cycling route that runs along Smithfield Road to Roushill Raven Meadows and Meadow Place.
However, according to the Shropshire Star, the central reservation has come under fire from cabbies who claim it has led to the road becoming congested each day.
Robbie Bruce, who operates two cab firms in the town, Bruce's Taxis and Access Cars, told the newspaper: "I've been in the business for 23 years and I've never seen the traffic as bad as this. It's been backing up as far as the Beacon Hotel in Copthorne." He continued: "It's affecting business."
Steve Slater of Vincent Taxis also called for the pedestrian crossing to be taken away, saying: "It's been put in the middle of nowhere. It's causing mayhem and it really needs to be removed."
However, Richard Harman, speaking on behalf of Shropshire Council, insisted it would remain, saying: "Improved crossing facilities for this location on Smithfield Road were requested by a number of people during the Connect2 consultation last year.
"The crossing was trialled during a busy period in the summer and was shown to have limited impacts to traffic congestion through the adjoining junctions and rest of town," he added.
Ha ha, the Smithfield Road crossing makes headline news!
The pedestrian refuge is one of the features implemented to help peds trying to cross this busy road. It only affects traffic going in one direction, so the long, slow-moving queue of traffic facing the other way is as slow as before.
TBH I've found its presence means fewer drivers cut me up while riding along there, it blocks the outer lane of the 2 of Eastbound traffic alongside the river after the turning for the multi-storey car park.
Once past it, any vehicle can then move into the outer lane, which feeds Castle Street and the one way system that chokes the town centre. I really don't think the refuge is really making anyone's journey longer, it merely delays them joining the back of the queue at the lights opposite the train station.
Edit: I don't think the traffic is any worse than before, just impatient drivers (notaby taxi drivers, who drive as if they own the road), want something to blame.

NDSM Shipyard
Amsterdam's biggest shipyard NDSM (Nederlandse Dok en Scheepsbouw Mattschappij) closed down in 1979 when the shipbuilding business wasn't profitable anymore.
Since the late 1990's the wide NDSM area has been transfomed into an alternative district, which is a good contrast to the narrow streets of the historical city centre.
The area is dominated by the long NDSM warehouse building. It is nowadays used for exhibitions and artist offices. A rusty crane and some old colourful trams can be found here as well.
Further to the east stands the Cafe Norderlicht which invites for a rest in an old greenhouse. Just in front of the cafe the geWoonboot, an environmentally friendly houseboat, can be seen and on certain days also visited.
To the west from the ferry terminal colourful container dwellings are used as student accommodation. Not far from here the Amstel Botel is moored at the NDSM Pier3. It is a luxurious floating hotel on a ship with more than 150 rooms.
The former NDSM wharf is located on the northern bank of the lake IJ. The free ferry service from Amsterdam's Central Railway Station runs about twice per hour and needs about 15 minutes to get to NDSM.

Overhoeks Tower and EYE Film Institute
The so called Overhoeks Tower and the modern EYE Film Institute seem to form an architectural ensemble on the northern bank of the lake IJ, even though they were built at different times in different architectural styles and for different purposes.
The 80 m tall Overhoeks Tower was completed in 1971 after designs of the architect Arthur Stahl. At that time it was Amsterdam's highest skyscraper and used as office space for the Royal Dutch Shell company.
Nowadys the Overhoeks Tower belongs to the municipality of Amsterdam, which is currently looking for a new purpose of the building.
Just next to the Overhoeks Tower stands the ultramodern EYE Film Institute. The building was designed by the Austrian Delugan Meissl Associated Architects. It was finished in 2012, which is also when the EYE Film Institute moved in. The outdoor terrace of the building offers panoramic views of the southern bank of the lake.
The Overhoeks Tower and EYE Film Institute are situated on the northern bank of the lake IJ, just opposite of the Central Railway Station. The easiest way to get there, is to catch the free ferry from the Central Railway Station to the the Buiksloterweg.

Toll House
The history of Amsterdam's Toll House (Tolhuis) dates back to approximately 1660. With the opening of the Great North Holland Canal (Groot Noordhollandsch Kanaal) in the early 19th century, the Toll House was redundant with limited prospects for future use.
In 1859 the current building was completed as a local restaurant and tavern. When we came across the Toll House in October 2012, the last oweners had just sold the place a month ago, so that it looked quite empty.
In the Toll House garden several statues of playing children can be found.
The Toll House is located at the street Buiksloterweg 7 on the northern bank of the lake IJ. It can be reached by free ferry with the destination "Buiksloterweg", which leaves directly behind the Central Railway Station.Related to:

Banning poles (Dutch: Banpalen)
Four authentic "banning poles" or "boundary stakes" (banpaal in Dutch) can be found around Amsterdam. In 1544 emperor Charles V granted Amsterdam the right to ban criminals, vagabonds and other undesirable individuals to one German mile (7.4 km) outside the city gates. Six boundary stakes along the main approaches to the city indicated the borders of this banishment area. Exiles were forbidden to enter the area within the limits of the stakes until their banishment had ended. By entering the area they risked capital punishment.
Banning was a popular punishment for thieves and beggars, but also for cursing, gambling or prostitution. Nobody has been exiled since 1800.
On the banning poles is written "Terminus Proscriptions" and "Uiterste Palen Der Ballingen" which is respectively Latin and Dutch for "limit post of the banished".
Interestingly, in 1650 the famous Dutch painter Rembrandt made an etching showing one of these banning poles. This "Rembrandt pole" dates from 1624 and has been relocated several times. The lower part unfortunately has been destroyed, but the remaining part can now be found in the Geuzenbos at the Spaarnwouderdijk, close to its original position where it was painted by Rembrandt. The exact location is behind the water-pumping station near the Wethouder van Essenweg. You'll have to climb over a small wooden fence to reach it, this is completely legal to do, the fence is just there to keep the sheep inside (coordinates N52 23.521 E4 46.153).
The other 3 remaining banning poles can be found here:
- Sloterweg in Sloten, hidden in an alley between house numbers 1204 and 1208. The original boundary stake from 1624 along the Sloterweg in Sloten marked the southwestern extent of the banishment area and was replaced in 1794, since it was falling into ruin (coordinates N52 20.501 E4 47.927).
- Amsterdamseweg 210 in Amstelveen dating from 1625 . The banning pool on the Amsterdamseweg in Amstelveen is close to the parks De Braak, Thijssepark and Broersepark in Amstelveen and a visit to the banning pole could be combined with a visit to these parks (coordinates N52 18.810 E4 50.826).
- Along the river Amstel, Amsteldijk Noord, close to house number 65. This banning pole from 1625 is included in a marked 10 km walk through the Middelpolder (coordinates N52 18.624 E4 54.278).
I made a 48 km cycle tour along the banning poles called Amsterbanned. Click on the link for more info!Related to:

After WWII, 5,000 of Amsterdam's Jews returned to the city... thousands did not. The Jewish Museum is a monument to the past, present and future of Judaism. There are always temporary exhibitions and also some permanent ones. Between 5 January and late 2004, the Great Synagogue is closed for renovation. Across the street, one can visit the very old Portuguese Synagogue. Also of great interest is the Anne Frank House (a stop on the Canal Bus trip).. a tribute to the teenage symbol who still endures.
The Jewish Musum is at Jonas Daniel Meijerplein 2-4 near Waterlooplein Metro.Related to:

Oude Kerk misericords
You will almost certainly visit (or perhaps just pass by) the Oude Kerk, set in the middle of the Red Light district.
But you may not take the opportunity to look carefully at the Medieval (late 1400s) misericords inside (especially if you have only visited to see the tomb of Rembrandt's first wife).
Misericords are little shelves on the choir-seats, placed there for weary monks to rest themselves during long or night-time services.
In many Medieval churches they have fascinating carvings underneath and Ooude Kerk is no expception, although its misericords are more rustic simplicity than master-carvings. Luckily, they were not damaged during the 1566 iconoclasm in the church.
Many of the misericords in Oude Kerk represent homely sayings: don't pull too hard on a weak rope, money doesn't fall out of my arse, banging your head against a brick wall.....more photos in my travelogue.
I am dubious about one or two of them: the clothes are simply not right for the 1480s, and I suspect they were replaced in the early/mid 20th century.
Well worth seeking out.Related to:

The Most Ambient and Otherworldy Coffeeshop
The most beautiful coffeeshop that I visited during my seven trips to Amsterdam is "Global Chillage" on Kerkstraat, right off the Leidesplein. It is very small and out-of-the-way and easy to miss since it is on a quiet side-street. It has original artwork for walls, handpainted murals by a very talented individual, and the music is ambient and lovely. The staff is friendly, the customers are chill, and the atmosphere is perfect. Also they have really good chai. This is my all-time favorite coffeeshop and I highlt reccomend it to those who like this sort of atmosphere.Related to:
- Arts and Culture
I'm sure there must be a proper word for these rather lovely carvings, but I don't know what it is.
When most people could not read, these carvings were placed on the front of buildings so they could more easily be found.
I've seen them in other part of Europe too although, weirdly, we don't have them in the UK.
Amsterdam was full of them. all types, and many from the early-mid 1600s. Well worth keeping our eyes open and looking up as you wander the canalsides.
I saw so many I've had to make two separate travelogues about them!Related to:

Frankendael House is said to be one of the very few remaining stately homes in Amsterdam. It was built in the 17th century on reclaimed land that used to be a lake, hence the name Watergraafsmeer.
The house and park are on Middenweg. Follow the number 9 tram line to get there.
Second photo: The house itself is closed and seems to be empty, but the surrounding park is open to the public.
Third photo: Pond in the park at Frankendael.
Tropen Museum
I went to this museum because I had bought one of those Amsterdam Passes and it's entry was included. I walked there and it was almost like leaving Amsterdam as that neighborhood seemed so different to the city center.
This museum is different but interesting, nonetheless. It displays artifacts from not just Tropical countries but all warm-weather places, like the Middle East. Not exactly what one travels to The Netherlands for, but hey, it was interesting!
What I remember most about it is the display of Persian rugs made during the first Gulf War. Check this picture out in close-up to see what it's pattern consists of.Related to:

Hollandsche Schouwburg (Dutch Theater)
The Hollandsche Schouwburg was built as a theater in 1892, but during the Second World War it was taken over by the Nazis and used as a deportation center for Jews. Thousands of men, women and children were sent from here to the concentration camps, where most of them were murdered.
In 1962 the Hollandsche Schouwburg formally became a war memorial, with an open courtyard and obelisk where the theater stage used to be. On the first floor there is an exhibition about the persecution of Jews in the Netherlands. It is open daily from 11:00 to 16:00. (Closed on Yom Kippur.) Admission is free.
The address is Plantage Middenlaan 24.
Tram 9 and 14, get off at Plantage Kerklaan.
This tower,Schreierstoren in Dutch, was a defensive tower and part of the cities walls. It believed to date from the 1480s. How it got its name is debatable. Some say it was because the tower was positioned on a sharp 90 degree turn in the city walls. Others hold the more romanticised notion that it was named after the weeping women who gathered there to wave their men off to sea!

Concordia is a really friendly and relaxing community. The homes are affordable and the atmosphere is really casual. It has everything I could want plus I already had some friends living here who encouraged me to make the move. It's nice to be so close to friends and to be able to do fun things together every day! The outdoor pool is great in the summer, I joined a ladies golf league and I do a lot of crafts. Everything I need to close by so I never have to wander too far from home.

I've gotten quite a number of PMs about this topic, so I'm going to elaborate more on my post.
To reiterate, the way that I'm able to take a large number of multi-month motorcycle trips is that I do contracting work in very remote locations around the world.
The first thing I need to say is that it's nearly impossible to do this if you have kids; so if you've already reproduced, to you I say "HAHA that was stupid!".
These jobs are usually working for the government in some way (Usually through a defense contractor) and are similar to being in the military, in that you sign on for a specific amount of time. Usually for six months, but some places the contract lengths are two years. And during that time, when you're at the location that you're working, everything is provided; you don't pay for food, housing, transportation, anything. Every dollar you make goes straight into your pocket. And when your contract is done, that's it; you're done. If you want to repeat and come back, you do have to re-apply and re-interview and be re-hired for your job for each contract, but for the most part it's usually pretty easy to be hired back if you've done a good job the first time around.
There's two basic routes to contracting.
The first route is the "Sell your soul, shit-tons of money, might get killed" route. This is either working in war zones such as in Afghanistan and formerly Iraq (that's pretty wound down by now), or working for oil companies on remote drill sites and oil rigs. They will usually require making pretty big moral compromises, or have a significant risk of getting shot at/killed. On top of that, the work experience itself usually sucks; 12 hours a day, 7 days a week is typical, for weeks or months at a time. High stress, everyone always screaming at you to work harder, go faster. The flip side is the pay is insane; front-line war zone jobs can pay upwards of $150,000 for basic work, and I knew one guy making $350,000 a year running network cables in front-line bases. This is largely tax-free, as well.
The second contracting option is the "Awesome experience in crazy locations for low pay". The pay is usually about 1/2 to 2/3 what you'd make hourly in the states, however you're still not paying for anything so as long as you're not trying to maintain a house or family, you can do quite well for yourself. The upside is that you're usually working in really neat places, with really cool people, doing work that you'll hopefully enjoy a lot.
I'm currently taking Option 2, awesome experiences for blah pay. The pay is medieocer at best, but because I save every penny when I'm working, I come out of a contract with a nice chunk of change. And I like the places I work; they're full of vagabonds, part-time workers and full-time travelers. Most of us only work 6 months on/6 months off, saving our money when we work and then traveling for the rest of the year.
I hope that's cleared things up a bit. Good luck getting out there and seeing the world some :)

How I do it?
I am currently a part time middle school teacher. I make $&/? for pay so I make sacrifices like riding a ninja 250 that has cheap parts, is cheap to maintain and gets 60+ mpg.
Right now I am sitting in a cheap apartment with no heat, I wash my laundry at work, I eat lots of sandwiches and I work two other jobs outside of teaching.
Am I complaining? Nope. I love teaching and coaching, I have what I need and I get summers off to ride my motorcycle wherever, whenever I want to.
I'm 29 and know that I need to do this now because the future, god willing, may have a wife and kids in the picture and riding that little ninjette for weeks on end in the middle of nowhere may be hard to come by.

Because I'm not exposed to all the commercials, I'm clueless about the latest cars, electronics, and widgets being pushed. If I watched all those commercials, I'm sure that some of the products would resonate with me and I would lust for them and burn my money on them.
But instead, I don't even know that I'm missing out on X product, Y widget, Z service.
That really helps to save money.
I do think that working in a school (as teacher or administrator) is one of the best lifestyle jobs possible. One is essentially working 1/2 a year... 180 days per year for almost full time pay. Union job, pension, etc. Lots and lots of holidays for big ride trips.
And you don't have to live like a slave in some bunkhouse on some oil field/mine/war zone for half the year to earn money. You still have a good life when you're working.

I find myself in a similar situation from time to time, asking myself what to do- we all need finance to live and a career to fulfill us inside, but if we had the material means, i think a lot of us would give it all up for that RTW or the discovery of the world we don't yet know.
I think things become trickier once people start to depend on you to be here for them and especially when you build a family, get a house etc...in these instances, you need work regardless to sustain the ones who love.
If you're a true ADV, i'm sure you will find a way to get by. I wasn't born to get up every morning and sit in front of a computer, formatting databases and excel spreadsheets. But it sure helps you to figure what you really want out of life and your career, once you've done it long enough to realise the world is slightly bigger than it seems!

Save up a couple grand. Quit your job and split town.
I spent 4 months travelling. I ate lentils and stayed at whatever free campsites I could find. I spent two of those months working on a farm.
Buy a bike and learn to maintain/troubleshoot/repair it. Thus, an older bike may be a better option, due to less complexity. Preferably one that gets AT LEAST 40 mpg.
Itinerant work is a great option if youre travelling. 'Trimming' in Northern California apparently pays well. I cant say from experience. I have worked on farms through the WWOOF organization however. You provide labor in exchange for room and board. I have always had a great experience from it. Check it out.
I spent about 1k on myself (i.e. food, beer, misc.) over 4 months. It wasnt glamorous living, with air conditioned hotels and restaurant meals, but it was rich in its own way. I spent another thousand on about 8500 miles worth of gas.
The last thousand went into bike repairs/maintenance. Can you see where I went wrong?
You can find another job when you get back. Typically, people (including employers) are impressed by those who divert from the mainstream to pursue their ambitions. Going on a cross-country motorcycle trip has definitely permeated its way into the American ideal If the employers in your field dislike the travelling motorcycle type for some reason, then maybe a change of career is in order ;)

The pay is pretty good considering its doesnt cost anything to live on a fishing boat for a few months out of the year. My friend who did it was hooked up by his company with a place to live while back home as well.

Great thread
Wife and both wonder how folks have accomplished thes dream trips. We are both consultants for decent sized firms and in our 40s with a 13 yr old son. Our interest was really peaked when we met a 70 yr old man over the weekend who has lapped the planet 3 times. The only question we forgot to ask was the how of things both logistically, but really fiscally.
I too had been offered one of those contractor jobs in the sandbox. My then 8 year old son overheard my conversation with the agency interviewer and asked me if people were going to try and shoot me if I worked over there. I told him no, that I would be trying to keep all of the good guys from being hurt. He started crying and said he did not want me to die. That is kind of a tough one to deal with considering the money and the time off (9 mos on 3 mos off) . It was not feasible for me, but the pay was awesome 250-300K.
Life is a constant compromise. I just always say it is good to be me.

It's a sad commentary when society new accepts or embraces begging and those that feel they don't have to work hard for things.
These adventures we all take in our lives are earned and a privilege. Not a right. That's how we can appreciate them more when we go.

Great thread. As I read the posts, I agree that you can do at 20 what you can't do at 59 (although you still think you can). So riding at 20 is a free wheeling fun adventure.
My concern for you is: you talk of retirement and waiting until then. Well, how do plan to fund your retirement? During your working years you need to put away an additional years salary to live on after you retire, because you're the one responsible for raising it. The government isn't going to give you any and social security will be dead by then. You need $1million in the bank to give you $40,000/yr to live on when you retire. Think about it----and start saving.
The other concern is: stay single if you want adventure. Family changes everything, usually for the better. I didn't have a car in college, only my bike. So after we had twins, I was riding home for lunch one day and went around a corner, hit some sand with my front tire and slid, didn't go down. But at that moment it hit me-----I had two kids, I had responsibility. I put the bike away that noon and didn't get it out again for 17 years. When they graduated from high school I started riding again, figuring they could fend for themselves if they had to. Have put on over 100K since then.
Adventure can come on day trips and weekend trips. Even exploring with a girlfriend/wife. It's how you perceive the adventure and time off. Just enjoy what you have.

Some people say that adventure comes cheap.
That may be true for a tiny sliver of riders. But most of us don't want to eat ramen and free camp in some field alone for months on end. Living like a homeless bum - but with a motorcycle - is not my idea of adventure or fun and I doubt that most people can bear it for long. To me, that is just being a bum.
Moto trips are a lot more fun when you can experience everything you want to experience. Access often takes money. Entertainment takes money. Not all - but many - experiences and fun things and interesting things take money. Yeah, if your idea is to just ride around and sleep in fields and buy ramen at the nearest grocery store it can be very cheap. But if you want something more, things are going to add up very quickly.
I also don't buy the idea that after living a certain lifestyle for 60 years someone is magically going to flip a switch and take a complete reversal in their lifestyle. That is just daydreaming.
Save up as much money as you possibly can, and do manageable trips that you can do now, while you still have your health and your free spirit.

The hardest part for me will be "flipping the switch." But doing so will give me the richest experience I will ever know.

Then they finally set off and by week 4, they were sick of it and finished.
A lot of ride reports are written in a very rosy way and things seem richer and cooler than reality. No one ever mentions all the tourist traps and scummy thieving locals, the disgusting hotels that double price you because you're white, and other less than literary and photogenic aspects of travel. It's all an "interesting adventure that turned into a great learning experience" in the ride reports. :)
Reality is that results vary all over the place. Some people love it and for some people it was a big disappointment and waste of time and money, and everything in between. And truth be told, there is nothing wrong with whatever impression you come away with, as long as you give it a try.

Laundry: The Home Comforts Book of Caring for Clothes and Linens
Simon and Schuster, Nov 24, 2009 - House & Home - 416 pages
For Cheryl Mendelson, laundering is the best part of housekeeping. It's full of physical pleasures—the look of favorite clothes restored to freshness and beauty, the tactile satisfaction of crisp linens in beautifully folded stacks. Good laundering preserves things you love and protects your pocketbook. It doesn't take much time or effort. What it takes is knowledge, and Laundry is the comprehensive, entertaining, and inspiring book on the art of laundering.
Culled from the bestselling Home Comforts, with revised and updated information and a new introduction, Laundry is an indispensable guide to caring for all the cloth in one's home: from kitchen rags to bedding, hand-washables, and baby clothes to vintage linens. Mendelson offers detailed guidance on when to disregard labels, removing stains, making environmentally informed choices, sewing, and storing clothing and fabrics.
A much-needed antidote to the standard-issue how-to manual, Laundry celebrates the satisfactions of ironing, folding, and caring for clothes and linens. Both pragmatic and eloquent, Mendelson provides beginning and veteran homemakers with a seamless combination of reliable instruction, time-tested advice, and fascinating personal narrative.
As a farm girl in Pennsylvania, Mendelson—who is a philosopher, lawyer, and professor, as well as a homemaker, wife, and mother—received a classic domestic education from her grandmothers, aunts, and mother. Laundry combines the best of the traditional lore they taught her with the latest in technical and scientific information. Writing with infectious love and respect for her subject, Mendelson is sure to instill in readers a newfound affection and appreciation for the art of laundering.

Ed Fornieles, Modern Family
19 Sep 2014 – 9 Nov 2014
- 64 Chisenhale Road
- London
- United Kingdom
- www.chisenhale.org.uk
Travel Information
- Mile End / Bethnal Green
AboutChisenhale Gallery presents a major new body of work by the London and Los Angeles-based artist Ed Fornieles for his first solo exhibition in a UK institution. A new online work forms the basis of the commission and will be presented alongside sculpture and performance within an ambitious installation environment. Modern Family skews the material logic of home improvement, sitcom architecture and the shopping mall, taking us on a journey to a distant yet familiar suburban land. Fornieles invites you to join the family BBQ as an artificial Californian sun sets over the gallery. The exhibition evokes a distorted âPinterest reality' derived from the aspirational online image-sharing platform, which, along with home decor magazines, has come to present a contemporary definition of the American âgood life'. The installation plays with scale and spatial perspective to create a cartoonish landscape of sculptures, combining high-spec finishes and new technology with breakfast cereal, DIY home tiling techniques and a âliving room materiality'. A cast of archetypal family members characters tapped from TV shows, film genres and L.A. suburbs are evoked throughout the installation. Periodically, they are embodied by a series of performers who activate the exhibition through movements choreographed from lifestyle-based behaviours. Fornieles's interest in the family unit relates to the question of its role as a device for the replication and perpetuation of social norms and its provision of a responsive, resilient model for the safe assertion of individual subjectivity, within the cultural hegemony of middle class America. For Fornieles, the family provides a baseline narrative, in which everyone is assigned a role and against which we are compelled to define ourselves. Fornieles creates exhibitions and performances that enact a collapse between online and offline spaces. Central to his exhibition at Chisenhale Gallery, the new website uses search terms to draw on live content, aggregating news feeds and social media profiles in real time, as stories unfold and people interact online. Fornieles utilises the huge amounts of freely available personal and public data feeding our attention economy, where value is determined by likes, shares and reposts. Tumblr, Instagram, Twitter and Google generate a shifting backdrop to the installation; one which is ever-contemporary and continuously updated, sustained by new trends, current events and personal lives. This new work builds on Fornieles's recent sculptures, installations and web-based projects such as the âFacebook sitcom', Dormdaze (2011) and Maybe New Friends (2013), an ongoing performance by Twitterbots which explore the impact of the virtual on the physical world. Whereas these previous forms of internet-based work have focused on the interactive potential of the medium and the empowerment and optimism that this implies, with Modern Family Fornieles adopts a position normally inhabited by marketing companies or government programs like the US-based PRISM. Operating in this complex territory, this new body of work mirrors a reality constructed from our own collective desires and subjectivities, confronting the mechanics of the Internet and revealing the dichotomy between dystopic banality and the pleasure of excess. Ed Fornieles (born 1983, Petersfield) lives and works in Los Angeles. Recent solo exhibitions and projects include Despicable Me 2, Mihai Nicodim Gallery, Los Angeles (2013), The Dreamy Awards, Park Nights, Serpentine Gallery, London (2012), Characterdate, Frieze Frame, Frieze London (2012) and Happy Days in Basel, Theater Basel (2012). Recent performances include New York New York Happy Happy (NY NY HP HP) (2013) for Rhizome, New Museum, New York (2013) and Pool Party Plays Itself, MOCAtv, Los Angeles (2013). Fornieles participated in Meanwhile... Suddenly, and Then, the 12th Biennale de Lyon (2013). Ed Fornieles's commission is supported by the Genesis Prize, BERTHOLD, Anita Zabludowicz, Yana Peel, Alexandra Economou and the Ed Fornieles Supporters Circle. With thanks to Carlos/ Ishikawa.

Estero High's once promising season ended with a four-game losing streak thanks to a 34-28 loss at Cypress Lake on Friday night.
The Wildcats scored 14 points in the fourth quarter but simply couldn't stop the Panthers' potent running attack long enough to seize control.
"It's been a great season," Wildcats coach Rich Dombroski said. "We were 4-2 at one point, so to lose out and lose our last four games it'll be a little disappointing. It'll take away from what we've accomplished this season, but I'm still proud of everything we've done."
After winning just one game last season, Estero (4-6) appears to be a program on the rise regardless of its late collapse.
Quarterback Ryan Sides is big reason for the Wildcats' optimism, as the junior was a force again Friday night. Sides threw for 277 yards and three touchdowns. He connected with Justin Milcetich for a 37-yard score, Nick Levesque on a 15-yard touchdown and Zach Culvahouse with 34 seconds remaining for a 16-yarder.
Estero's ensuring onside kick attempt, however, was recovered by the host Panthers (4-6) to end the game. The loss extended the Wildcats' streak of consecutive losing seasons to nine.
Estero, as it has much of this season, just couldn't stop the run as Cypress Lake's option attached rolled up 343 yards and five touchdowns on 53 carries. Perhaps the most disturbing fact is that Panthers sophomore quarterback Jayron Kearse sprained his left knee late in the second quarter and didn't return.
Estero also got a solid game from running back Dennis Fenner. The junior rushed for 38 yards and a touchdown on 10 carries. Fenner also caught two passes for 23 yards.
