The Hiten (Japanese: "flying angel) spacecraft (known before launch as Muses-A), built by the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science of Japan, was launched on January 24, 1990. It was Japan's first lunar probe and the first robotic lunar probe since the Soviet Union's Luna 24 in 1976. Hiten was designed to be an Earth orbiting spacecraft and a relay for another spacecraft to the Moon. The spacecraft entered a circumlunar orbit and released a small orbiter, Hagoromo (named after the feather mantle of a legendary celestial maiden), into lunar orbit. The transmitter on Hagoromo failed, rendering it scientifically useless, and the orbit insertion burn could only be verified optically. Therefore it was not known that Hagoromo entered lunar orbit thereby achieving success for the Japanese lunar mission as planned. Japan wanted to salvage the mission and proposed a plan to get Hiten to leave Earth orbit and achieve lunar orbit. Unfortunately Hiten only had 10% of the required fuel to make it into lunar orbit. It was determined that Hiten could achieve lunar orbit by using a brand new route to the Moon designed by Edward Belbruno. This low energy lunar transfer used Weak Stability Boundary Theory. This, however, would take several months instead of several days.
The primary mission was concluded on March 30, 1991 and the follow-on mission was started. On April 24, 1991 Hiten left Earth orbit and went to the Moon using Belbruno's route. On October 2, 1991 Hiten reached the Moon at the prescribed distance. After which, it was put into a looping orbit which passed through the L4 and L5 Lagrange points to look for trapped dust particles. No obvious increase was found by the Munich Dust Counter (MDC). After two months in lunar orbit, the spacecraft's orbit was decaying, so the last of Hiten's fuel was used to crash it into the lunar surface on April 10, 1993.
This mission marked the first use of a low-energy (weak stability boundary) transfer to modify an orbit and the first use of a transfer to the Moon requiring no delta V for capture.
The only scientific instrument on Hiten was the Munich Dust Counter (MDC). The MDC provided data on the dust environment between the earth and the moon until April 10, 1993 when Hiten was intentionally crashed into the lunar surface at between the craters Stevinus and Furnerius. Hiten was the first lunar probe originating from a country other than the United States or the Soviet Union.

In this course, author Todd Perkins demonstrates key changes in the CS5.5 release of Adobe's interactive design and animation software. This course covers workflow improvements, enhanced ActionScript features (including new code snippets for AIR and several mobile frameworks), file optimization techniques, and extended support for Android and iOS app development in AIR.
Flash CS5.5 has built-in support to create applications for Android. If you change your Player version to AIR for Android and click the Edit application settings button in the Properties panel, you can control your settings for your Android application just like you could for an iOS application. One significant difference is that in the Deployment tab you can choose to get a different AIR runtime for Google Android or the Amazon Appstore.
I'll cancel out of this. And one more significant feature in AIR for Android is if you go to Debug, under Debug Movie you'll see on Device via USB. So you can simply plug in your Android device with a USB for testing and test it directly from Flash. So in Flash CS5.5 you get native support for creating Android applications and you get new features like exporting to the Amazon Appstore and debugging on a USB device.
There are currently no FAQs about Flash Professional CS5.5 New Features.

Sometimes I love Sarah Hyland's style; sometimes I do not. But last night I simply couldn't help but declare her the ruler of the red carpet thanks to this Christian Siriano outfit:
Fun, fresh, lively and on-trend, this halter and taffeta skirt combo is perfectly age appropriate. The sliver of skin peeking out keeps the look youthful and trendy, but it's still classy enough for the Emmys. The simple earrings were a wise choice, as was the high bun to lengthen her look and elongate her silhouette. I still think that the Modern Family starlet wears a touch too much makeup (so much bronzer) and I would've preferred a coral lipstick to tie it all together, but overall, she's still miles above the rest IMO.
Do you think SH rocked the red carpet or was there another starlet more deserving of the honor?

Size: 196 sq ftArchitect: Macy Miller
Macy Miller is an architect from Idaho that had a BIG dream about a tiny house. She had always wanted a place of her own, but the thought of a mortgage sickened her after she lost her home to foreclosure after getting divorced. So, her dream revolved around building a compact, but beautiful home. For two years, Macy worked on the 196 square-foot home, dedicating her free time to building the small paradise. Finally, construction has finished on her little hideaway… and it's hard not to be jealous of this place, no matter how small it looks on the outside. After all, it only cost about $11,000.

Urbanites hoping to better their apartments with space-saving loft beds, elegant glass divider walls or built-in storage compartments are all too often let down once they see what these fantasy furnishings can cost. Those of us who are handy may take the DIY route, but not everyone is a natural Bob Vila. Luckily, there's a happy medium between purchasing pricey new furniture and starting from scratch - IKEA hacking! This resourceful practice involves taking IKEA pieces (preferably ones you already own or got secondhand) and taking advantage of their modular nature to transform them into your dream configurations. Read on for some of our favorite tutorials seen at Ikeahackers.

GIZMODO - The Tiny Transforming Apartment That Packs Eight Rooms into 350 Square Feet from Gizmodo on Vimeo.
When you walk in, you encounter what is, at first glance, a small studio apartment. Within that cube are actually 8 functional spaces. The living room and office become the bedroom with a tug of a bookshelf. Open one of the closets and you'll find 10 stackable chairs that go around a telescopic dining table for large dinner parties. An entire guest room with bunk-beds and a closet is revealed behind a wall that slides out on tracks. And of course, a well-equipped kitchen and bathroom await.

Location: Coromandel Peninsula
Size: 430 sq ft, 40 sq meters
Architect: Crosson Clarke Carnacha
On the shore of an idyllic white sanded beach in New Zealand's Coromandel Peninsula rests an elegant hut. Closed up, the rough macrocarpa-cladding blends into the landscape and perches quietly on the dunes, as passersby wonder how it could possibly function for a family of five.
Designed to close up against the elements, the hut measures a mere 40 square metres and rests on two thick wooden sleds that allow it to be shifted around the beach front section. This innovative portability is a response to the ever changing landscape that line the beachfront in this coastal erosion zone.
Within the hut, the ingenuity reveals itself further as no nook or cranny is overlooked. Every available space has been utilised, right down to the secret individual cubby holes hidden in the children's bunk room.
For these clients it was all about the real essence of the hut; small, simple and functional. The hut comes to life when the enormous shutter on the northeast facade winches open to form an awning, revealing two-storey high steel-framed glass doors that form the main entrance. The hut then transforms into a sun drenched haven, opening up to the views of the surf and the distant Mercury Islands.
The mezzanine bedroom is accessed by climbing a wall-mounted ladder through a closeable hatch, it shares the same view as downstairs through the huge glass doors. Climb the ladder again and you arrive on a roof terrace which catches rainwater for the gravity tanks behind.
From the industrial style fittings to the quirky furnishings, this whole structure plays with the idea of the most egalitarian of Kiwi recreations and embraces and challenges the image of the traditional âKiwi bachâ. Small, simply and elegantly self-contained, this tiny elegant hut strips holiday living right back to basics.

Location: San Antonio, Texas
Size: 320 sq ft
Architects: Poteet Architects
The only thing it's missing is an economy kitchen, else, it's replete with bathroom, bedroom, and livingroom...and over all rock'n! Story by Dwell
Texas architect Jim Poteet helped Stacey Hill, who lives in a San Antonio artists' community, wrangle an empty steel shipping container into a playhouse, a garden retreat and a guesthouse for visiting artists. The container measures a narrow and long 8 by 40 feet; Hill asked that a portion of the square footage be retained as a garden shed and the rest serve as the living space. The architect added floor-to-ceiling glass doors and windows, heating and air-conditioning, a green roof, bamboo flooring and wallcovering, a small sink and shower and a composting toilet, and placed the structure on a base made from recycled telephone poles. "The container, as we call it, is a great escape for me because the space is pure, uncluttered, wonderfully sunlit, quiet and has a great view of my garden," says Hill. "My two young daughters love it because it's practically an empty box ready to play, create and pretend in."While shopping for containers, Hill was instantly drawn to this one's existing blue color and chose to buy it and leave it as is. Poteet added floor-to-ceiling sliding doors to allow light in, as well as a cantilevered overhang to shade a window on the left side, which houses a small garden storage area.

Poteet replaced one wall with a large steel-and-glass lift-and-slide window wall, which he says makes the best use of indirect light. "The big sliding door and picture window make the 250-square-foot living space feel big," says Hill.

The architect and his team devised an armature on the back of the container that will eventually be covered with vines, concealing the AC and heating unit, the reservoir for graywater and the composting toilet outlet.

Jon Ahrens of Madrone Landscaping, who layed out the plantings around the container, implemented a green roof on a drip watering system. The cantilevered overhang at rear is planted with cacti.

Reeds grow from a tub outside the steel structure. "We capture the graywater from the sink and shower, and use it to water the plants in the garden," says Hill.

Since the only spot for a sink was within the main living space, Poteet designed a wide, sculptural basin that would integrate well into the interior, and added a Zurn faucet. The small step leads right into the shower and toilet area. The artworks are by San Antonio artists John Mata, Kimberly Aubuchon, Chris Sauter and Cruz Ortiz; the X came from an old Texaco sign.

Poteet sheathed the walls and floor in bamboo ply. "We went to the hardware store on our lunchbreak, looking for inexpensive ply, and they told us they had just gotten a shipment of bamboo ply that someone didn't pick up, so we got lucky and got it for the same cost," says Poteet. "It's renewable, really hard and as good for the floor as it is for the walls."
Photo by: Chris Cooper
Maximizing space was of utmost importance in the 8-by-4-foot bathroom, which consists of an open shower in front of an electric composting toilet by Sun-Mar. Poteet and Hill chose a red sheet metal for the walls and laid down a non-slip epoxy flooring.

170 sq ft
Location: Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, Canada
Designer/Builder: Laird Herbert
Laird Herbert has a passion for designing small spaces. When I asked him what his motivation and inspiration was, he commented with the following:
I'm a big fan of the modern/boxy approach to portable tiny house design. The flat roof is both simple to build and gives the space a much more open and airy feeling. I tried to go for a design that would defy the cabins size. I encourage anyone considering building a tiny house to think more about a flat roof!
Despite the vast amounts of land, our land prices have skyrocketed (most people get paid really well up here, our government subsidizes the territories heavily), and so about two year ago I decided to build a tiny house. It was 16' and very modern and boxy. I enjoyed designing, building and living in it so much that I decided to build another this winter. I've decided to try and make a living from building them, so I sold the first one, and this second is currently for sale. My favorite part is the designing - I have several other models that I am really excited to build, including one that I hope to use natural building techniques.
The construction details:
This home is 20' long by 8.5' wide, mounted on a trailer rated to 7000lb. The winters are quite cold, so it features triple pane windows, spray foam insulation and a wrap of 2" of insulation. It has a full-size propane range, half size fridge, instant tankless hot water, 35 gallon tank, shower and compact bathtub, composting toilet, bathroom sink, queen size loft, pull out couch, ultralight drywall and birch plywood finishing, hardwood flooring, and granite tiles. I used FSC wood where ever possible, including cedar tongue and groove siding, and some reclaimed materials, though they are hard to find in the Yukon. It also has steel studs, in an effort to reduce the weight.

Though, it could use more useful facts like actually percentage of Americans who live in so said 500-600 sq ft, etc, duration of habitation, own vs. rent, by age, gender, region, etc. etc. etc. However, I like their isometric depiction of a small space along with tips and tricks on how to optimize your space for greater functionality and enjoyment.

Size: 260 sq ft / 24 sq meters
Designed by Spanish architect Barbara Appolloni and located in Barcelona's hip Born district, this tiny apartment is a former pigeon loft remodeled into a great bachelor pad.
Located in Barcelona's hip Born district, the tiny apartment is a remodeled pigeon loft. Christian says its design was inspired by the space-saving furniture aboard boats, as well as the clean lines of a small Japanese home.
When Christian Schallert isn't cooking, dressing, sleeping or eating, his 24 square meter (258 square feet) apartment looks like an empty cube. To use a piece of furniture, he has to build it.
Check out the video below!
Shower, sink, and toilet
Apartment entrance
Christian's hosted up to 40 people in his apartment.
The bed is ingeniously designed to pull from underneath the outside terrace.
The bed can be made to become a couch by partially pulling it out.
The dining table seats up to five people, is pulled from the wall revealing a window.
The terrace off the apartment expands the living space, giving the appearance of an apartment that seems larger than it is.
There's an additional spatious roof terrace up above the apartment which includes a generous lounge platform on one side and a japanese soaking tub on the opposite side.

Place: Tel Aviv
Architect: SFARO
Size: 430 sq ft
This is another excellent example of the use of a 'cube' as a solution for maximizing space, utility, functionality, and design.
Following Tel-Aviv's soaring housing prices over the last 3 years, many people were forced to renovate their existing apartments instead of selling and buying bigger ones.
This owner decided to transform her studio apartment into a 1 bedroom, including storage units, a large separate kitchen and a full size queen bedroom.
As a design solution, we chose to condense all the programmatic functions and storage units into a cube which was centered in the middle of the space, thus dividing the apartments into 4 zones, while maintaining a 360 degree circulation around it, which makes the space seem endless and bigger than it actually is.
By adding sliding doors that disappear into the cube, the space can be altered according to the time of day and the various needs of the owner, contributing further more to the sense of a multi-functional and multi-layered space.

Where: Bordeaux, France
Size: 441 sq ft
Owner: Jérémie Buchholtz
Architect: Fabre/deMarien
Location, scarcity, affordability, and necessity drove Jérémie Buchholtz to look for a less obvious and unconventional home.
Jérémie Buchholtz , a freelance photographer, converted a dilapidated garage in Bordeaux into a studio apartment at a cost of 140,000 euros ($187,362). The new double-glazed glass portion of the facade is hidden behind a honey-colored pine door which slides shut to cover the facade and keep out prying eyes.
When the outside pine door slides open, the interior patio — with its teak decking, open-air roof and white garden furniture from the French furniture outlet Fly — is revealed along with double-glazed glass sliding doors that lead into the living area.
Despite the fact that the garage was priced at 80,000 euros ($107,000) — less than half the price of a similarly sized home in Bordeaux — it was still a rundown storage space, full of junk behind huge metal doors. Mr. Buchholtz, though, saw potential. The nondescript place, now a designer bachelor's pad, is tucked away on a lane lined by converted 18th-century stables that house a burgeoning community of artists and young families.
This area includes a white Formica and chrome Ikea kitchen and a dining area with a glass-topped table.
Mr. de Marien designed a "house within a house," a gleaming cube-shaped construction of Douglas pine that dominates the far end of the living area. "By combining all the factors of living in this self-contained cube — such as sleeping, washing, working and storing — we kept all of the necessities of Jérémie's life in one place," the architect said. "By building upwards towards the roof and internally into the heart of the cube, we had no need to spread these aspects throughout the living area."
The Douglas pine cube, built at a cost of 9,389.50 euros ($12,565), contains and conceals the sleeping area, bathroom, laundry, dressing room, and storage space. Mr. Buchholtz works at a small office space on one side of the cube. The wheat-colored sofa bed in natural organic cotton, as with everything in the cube, was made to Mr. Buchholtz's specifications.

Size: 400 sq. ft.
Location: East Village, New York City
Architect: Jordan Parnass Digital Architecture
Storage, restraint, and efficiency were key in carving this bachelor's studio in the East Village into a live-work sculpture for a grown-up.
Living and working in just under 500 square feet, Michael Pozner, Head of Retail Development for American Apparel (which is based in LA), had been pushing the limits of what his apartment, in its current configuration, would accommodate. He'd purchased the studio back in 1999, before the boom of the last decade, and wasn't anxious to move. But between his office needs and his many toys and quirky art pieces, the apartment was jam-packed and nothing had a place.
The solution was ultimately about exploiting every opportunity for storage, and then combining those spaces and the kitchen, bathroom, and sleeping loft into an intricately sculpted wood-paneled central service core. The space outside of the core area would remain as flexible as possible, and all surfaces and cabinetry would be finished in a high-gloss white to emphasize their adaptability.
Michael is always working on several projects at once. To accommodate his reliance on "visual filing" methods which had overtaken his floor, JPDA designed a desk with multiple desktops- sliding trays on which documents can remain spread out, but slide out of the way when switching between projects, or when it's time to entertain.
The apartment was previously a plain sheetrock box with objects added into it, the new built-in millwork reads as a wall which has been subtracted from, in order to create space for the TV, desk and credenza.
White Oak planks wrap the service core of the apartment, including the kitchen, bathroom, closets, and sleeping loft. The resulting sculptural volume appears to have been dropped into an otherwise clean white box, creating a focal object and organizing the space into public and private areas.
Building the bed platform as part of the loft structure allowed for a full-height walk-in closet below.
A roller shade lowers to separate the sleeping loft from the living space.
Every opportunity for storage was exploited, including drawers built into the stair risers, cabinets that go to the ceiling, and a new walk-in closet under the sleeping loft.
The kitchen cabinet doors continue the wood plank walls around the corner to give the sense that the space is carved from a heavy wooden mass.
The standard toilet was replaced with a compact wall mounted unit to create more floor area. Matte black powder coated lav and shower fixtures, were special ordered as the finish was not yet available in the US.
The walls are tiled in a narrow Italian porcelain brick mosaic that reads like a natural stone.
Storage areas became the driver for the design, influencing the forms within the space.
All of the private functions of the apartment - cooking, cleaning, dressing, sleeping - are contained within the sculptural wooden volume.

A former maid's room has been restructured around a block of contiguous, which are embedded kitchen, bathroom, staircase and mezzanine.
View of living room, where the structure étonnate fit in a single block of medium, a cabin with water, a micro kitchen, a staircase and a mezzanine. A straight staircase lit by a skylight leads to the loft-room. In the kitchen, the high table-shaped bean is used to both bar, dining and work plan. Below, we housed a storage locker.
A fireplace and nineteenth floors are original features. At left is the high table block kitchen housed in the mezzanine. Behind the staircase, the first step serves as a small bench, is an ingenious piece of furniture in medium with each step contains a drawer or storage box.

In this micro-part that contains a shower and toilet, it has a built-in stainless steel bowl in a plate of medium as a sink.
In the kitchen of 27 sq ft (2.50 m2), all appliances - fridge, two washers and four from among the smallest in the market - is stowed under the plan. Above the cooking point, a strip in medium hides a hood and a neon. In the upper part, an opening was created to take advantage of natural light that illuminates the stairway.

Phoenix, Arizona
386 sq. ft. Prefab Model
At 386 sq. ft., this unit is the smallest model from V2 World. It's a sustainable prefab micro home which can be added onto in 4 feet increments @ $200/sq. ft. I like the installment of the efficiency kitchen and bath which leaves more space for the living and sleep areas. I would have planned for more seating capacity at the counter to double as the dining area,remove the round dining table, and it's chairs, to make room for a sectional couch (for sleep overs) a generous coffee table that serves as a work area, gaming, and additional dining if needed.

161 sq ft (15m squared)
Architects: Waskman Design Studio
As noted by our friends at Inhabitat:
The Vodaphone trailer home is constructed from white polyethylene panels and transparent polycarbonate. The two-floor structure measures 6 meters in length, 2.5 meters in width and 3.85 meters high. The home is organized like a loft, with a bedroom on the second floor and office and kitchen space on the bottom floor. Rooftop solar panels power the Morales family's electronics.
Check out the continuing story of the Morales' trip at their website.
The trailer packs a punch with smart division of space, functional storage areas, mini bathroom, work and leisure area, and sleep area with two full sized beds that sleeps 4 people (5 people including the couch).

"Responding to the owner's need for space to house visiting friends and family, the Rolling Huts are several steps above camping, while remaining low-tech and low-impact in their design. The huts sit lightly on the site, a flood plain meadow in an alpine river valley. The owner purchased the site, formerly a RV campground, with the aim of allowing the landscape return to its natural state. The wheels lift the structures above the meadow, providing an unobstructed view into nature and the prospect of the surrounding mountains." Read more >>
Modular furniture allows for multiple seating variations. Though it's not shown here, I can imagine piecing the furniture together, forming another sleeping platform, with foam pad stowed away within the larger cube.

529 sq ft (49 m sq.)
Ok, not quite less than 500 sq. ft. but almost, plus, it's full of useful nooks and crannies. Inspired by Japanese origami art; one wall separates all functions of the apartment. When the designer create the wall the apartment already had a shell of simple concrete walls. While contemporary, the interior still retains some rustic elements.
The presence of the separation wall can be felt from the entrance and throughout the apartment, imbues a feeling of movement and hidden spaces due to its diagonal form. The apartment design with all its elements makes the small space look much bigger than it is.

The Hague
322 sq. ft. (30m sq.)
Architects: Queeste Architecten
I've previously blogged about architecture as furniture and its efficiencies. Despite its small footprint, "molding" and "wrapping" allow the furniture and the architecture to do double duty. This apartment, is a "bed & breakfast" located on the third floor in the attic of a private house in The Hague. The client and owner lives in the same building.
"The limited floor space of 30m² has been equipped with the following functions: a sleeping accommodation for 2 people a dining area for up to 4 people a kitchen a toilet a bathroom with shower an installations area various storage facilities. The goal of the design was to create a living environment that would be spacious despite the small volume, providing all the comforts belonging to luxurious contemporary lodging. In addition, Maff Apartment was to have a clear and strong identity to provide a sense of uniqueness for its users." - Via - Dezeen

Architect: Studiomama
London-based Studiomama has designed this small but sweet beach cottage as a cozy home away from home. The 388-sq.-ft. compact waterfront cottage is built on galvanized steel stilts to prevent flooding, but not to worry – you'll get your fill of water via the house serene seaside views. This beach house has a rustic look both inside and out. Its facade is clad in cedar shingles, giving it a true "cottage" feel which makes its way indoors with the sawn softwood-clad interior. This awesome compact design keeps it simple, featuring the cozy master sleeping quarters above, and the kitchen, bathroom and the kids' bunk beds below, covering off all the essentials for a fab family vacation by the shore.
Tons of ideas can be gleaned here to maximize space; stackable chairs, open floor concept, bunk beds and use of loft, efficiency sized kitchen and bath elements.

Hong Kong
344 sq ft
Residence/Architect: Gary Chang
Hong Kong architect and technophile Gary Chang has the most amazing apartment. His 344-square-foot space can be shifted into at least 24 different layouts, using a funhouse's worth of sliding walls and detachable shelving.
using shifting wall units suspended from steel tracks bolted into the ceiling, the apartment becomes all manner of spaces — kitchen, library, laundry room, dressing room, a lounge with a hammock, an enclosed dining area and a wet bar." (nytimes.com)
Chang has lived in this apartment since he was 14, moving in with his parents and three younger sisters. Back then, he used to sleep in the hallway. Now, he uses a hydraulic Murphy bed that he designed himself, which is usually hidden behind a sofa during the day.
Turning his apartment into what he's named a "Domestic Transformer" hasn't been cheap. It only cost $45,000 to buy, but his latest design efforts came with a $218,000 price tag.
Still, his experiment in small living is incredibly cool. Personally, if I had a quarter grand to play with, I'd much rather spend it optimizing something creatively rather than on another boring McMansion. [NYtimes]

Architect: Jonas Wagell
161 sq. ft. (15 m2)
Friggebods are small swedish cottages; they don't need building permits for less than 150 square feet. This design by Jonas Wagell is available for purchase for 12,200 euros plus freight, with a solar power module for only 1,400 euros. A bath and kitchen module is also available.
Dezeen writes: " When designing the Mini house concept Jonas Wagell put a lot of emphasis on creating a house that is not built as traditional timber houses, since that would create a sort of error in scale. Friggebod-sheds often appear shrinked, like miniature houses, drained in details and odd proportions, since they are constructed with the same components as large houses."

Clayton, Missouri
408 sq. ft.
Residence of Anu Suebsawangkul
When Anu Suebsawangkul painted her 408-square-foot apartment all white she had no idea that her quick fix to conceal hideous blue walls would be the start of a design obsession. After that it was all white all the time: painting white furniture, purchasing white accessories, and fabricating white curtains. Soon, however, the monochromatic room wasn't enough and, says Suebsawangkul, "I decided to give my room some pizzazz. I discovered the Hollywood Regency style and I fell in love with it. Kelly Wearstler and Dorothy Draper are my style icons." Metropolitan Home home is a winner thanks to Suebsawangkul's smart black-and-white design decisions: It's chic, elegant and glamorous. Best of all, it didn't break the bank. Read full article >

Architects: Alan Chu & Cristiano Kato
Location: Ilhabela, Sao Paulo, Brazil
Project year: 2008
Constructed area: 36 sqm, 118 sq ft
Photographs: Djan Chu
The building has 2 floors, a white suspended box, where the bedroom is and it is possible to see the continent and the São Sebastião Channel. Under it, at street level, are the living room, kitchen and bathroom.
The wood used on some doors and windows, staircase, shelves and furniture are leftovers of material used to make scaffoldings and molds for the white box reinforced concrete structure.
The 3.00 m x 5.00 m white box is supported on one side by an existing retaining wall and on the other by a wall built with stones, a characteristic of local constructions.
This movement shapes the other 3 spaces of the construction, the access yard, between the box and the retaining wall that curves following the parking lot ramp's floor, the courtyard, between the box and the rock and the void created under the box, where the living room is.

New York City
400 sq feet
Residence: Luca Andrisan
Storage in general is something of a premium in New York City but for Luca Andrisani, storage evokes something closer to liberation, "I like the freedom of putting things away and hiding them," the Italian-born architect says. Particularly, perhaps, when your apartment is just 400 square feet. His apartment provides several lessons in space-saving ingenuity.
Andrisani had the benefit of exposed brick walls and generous 11-foot ceilings. But first there was some cleaning-up to do. The loft bed was taken out, the kitchen and bathroom gutted and the oak floors refinished. Meanwhile, a Sheetrock divider separating the living and sleeping areas was replaced with a new double-sided storage wall -- a sleek, white-lacquered assemblage of folding and pocket doors. Now the home's centerpiece, it cleverly conceals a rotating flat-screen television between two sets of those doors; one opens to the bedroom, the other to the living room on the other side.

For those of you who crave a wine cellar or a wine fridge and live in small spaces and are space starved; think vertically downward. If you've got vertical space to play with, basement or lower level space, this wine cellar concept might be the answer. What else might this design inspire; a pathway to bathroom, playroom, study room, guest room, storage room, the list goes on.

Aight, for those of you in small studio spaces, here are some stupendous examples maximizing living space when you're space challenged. When you are living in a 395-square-foot apartment, conserving space is an issue (above). Adeptly using a shelving system as a room divider, this homeowner, Alison Brungart, creates a continuous feel by aligning the unit with the living room wall. To really take advantage of the interplay between the two rooms, the TV rotates so it can be seen from either the bed or couch. Alison has chosen to use a light color for all the woodwork in her apartment, including the shelving system, to give a feeling of consistency. Even though the unit is open and airy, Alison has really achieved a distinctly separate feel between the two rooms in a way that also is useful for storage.
Renters David and Im could have opted for a larger space, but in the name of great natural light and saving money they cut back to a 426-square-foot loft. To max out every inch of space, they realized that their greatest asset was the incredibly high ceilings. To accommodate all their personal belongings, they decided to build a massive custom-designed storage wall. Tracking down all the materials to complete the storage system was a feat by itself. The couple had to contact specialty lumberyards for pieces (like the 6x10 planks of wood for shelves), and even sourced local sailboat shops to find items specifically designed for small spaces. (below)
Gideon and Tracy's home is a 530-square-foot studio that draws inspiration from the design of a pocket knife whose blade opens and retracts. The wall in the middle of the space serves as the blade, invented by the couple to be completely rotatable by resting on a very large gate hinge. Depending on their mood, or if they have company, the wall can be moved to separate the bedroom from the dining and living space.(below)
Rotated here to enlarge the bedroom, the television compartment is visible. Depending on which way the wall is facing, the television can be viewed from either bedroom or living room. Made out of corrugate polycarbonate, plywood and MDF, this versatile wall is a brilliant construction but no easy feat. When assembling the pocket knife, Gideon and Tracy recall, "We could not get the wall through the front door so we had to winch it up from the roof and through the windows in two pieces."
When James and Margaret bought their 565-square-foot studio apartment, they knew they had their work cut out for them. Both architects by profession, they sketched a new floorplan and gutted half the space. There were two key components which factored heavily into the couple's redesign which were first, the desire for a sense of openness and second, the ability to let natural light into every room of the apartment from a single light source. The most fundamental new-and-improved feature to their apartment is a wood wall they designed that strongly sections the space and serves as a strong visual design element. The bench in the dining area was artfully planned to be a part of the multi-purpose wall, containing storage space that extends through the interior of the bench and into the bedroom.(below

Boulder, Colorado (Moved to Arkansas)
489 sq. ft. (not including patio area)
Michael Hughes (Assistant Professor of Architecture, Arkansas)
When it comes to small spaces, nothing conjures up images of design-impaired living like the words "mobile home." Add to that a reputation for flimsy construction, and the bad rap seems well deserved.
Yet when architecture professor Michael Hughes talks about trailers and the traditional urban trailer park, he sees another picture: affordable, small-scale homes in a high-density neighborhood. "Mobile homes came into being as a low-cost housing solution, serving that niche in between an apartment or condo and a standard suburban home," says Hughes. "Their typical design, however, has been fundamentally flawed, with structural and spatial issues."
Hughes was given the chance to retool a trailer into his vision of a well-designed, budget-friendly residence when a defunct 1960s-era unit in Boulder's Mapleton Mobile Home Park was donated to the design/build architecture program at the University of Colorado. (Hughes has since relocated to the University of Arkansas.) With a leaking roof, rotting wood and pitted metal siding, the two-bedroom, 489-square-foot unit had little left to salvage. Since local zoning codes required that dwellings within a mobile-home park must remain portable, the team kept the original steel chassis and sent the rest of the dilapidated structure to the scrap yard.

People talk like Battlefield is the only way to go and COD has to be like it in order to be good. Just because Battlefield has realistic gameplay doesn't mean it's better. I've been playing CoD since 2 and I've been perfectly fine with how it plays whenever a CoD would release. They may be the same genre, but they don't have the same gameplay. Both games have they're appeal. P.S. I've played both games, and love both, so I'm not a BF FTW or a CoD fanboy.
@Iamok0516 You have it right. I'm actually surprised they're competing with each other, as to me they shouldn't even be in the same genre. Battlefield is what I'd classify as a First Person Simulation experience...capturing the realism of the front lines with a hint of arcade touch. Call of Duty is something else entirely...it's an arcade experience full of "that could never happen" events. It's a lot easier to get a 2.00 k/d spread in COD than it is in Battlefield for that reason...COD is built almost entirely on reflexes and the situation, whereas Battlefield is built on that and every other condition one might encounter in combat. That being said, I don't care for Black Ops much at all. It was a downgrade from MW2 in my opinion...made by a developer that had limited experience with FPS games (Treyarch)...MW3 will probably be quite amazing though, as it's back in the hands of Infinity Ward (or what's left of it)...I just wish they weren't owned by Kotick...he's holding them and their reputation back...significantly, and profiting off it.
@xXxlRyanxXx "Battlefield 3 will hopefully beat COD in sales and treat consumers in a fair way. BF3 FTW." i don't think so dude, we can't beat "KIDS POWER" if you know what i mean..majority of gamers are kids and they love all the COD stuff..besides they can't stand the difficulty level of BF games..that's why COD is their national game for fun & enjoyment..you can't deprive kids from that.. PS. let MW3 outsell BF3, it doesn't matter!! besides we don't want BF3 to be crowded by kids.. MW3 - for fun and enjoyment (kids love it) BF3 - for competitive realistic war experience (hardcore gamers will die for it)
@pablo0 "its ugly as hell now, but its just more fun and the best things about cod are the things that bf lovers hate: riot shields, easy knifes, quik scoping snipers, tomahawks, mini maps, spawntrapping in demoliotion, dumb claymore kills and other stuff that cannot happen normally. " UGLY AS HELL, lol..i couldn't say more.. all the things you've mentioned above are all kids stuff..yes its very enjoyable for kids that's why they love it so much..
@pablo0 "there is a reason people play more cod , cod is more fun" i think the main reason; "cod is easier to play", that what makes it more fun to majority..on the other hand, hardcore fps gamers loves BF games because of the superb realistic gameplay experience and most of all, the level of difficulty , which makes it very challenging and more competitive..
Not paying for this.
there is a reason people play more cod , cod is more fun. its ugly as hell now, but its just more fun and the best things about cod are the things that bf lovers hate: riot shields, easy knifes, quik scoping snipers, tomahawks, mini maps, spawntrapping in demoliotion, dumb claymore kills and other stuff that cannot happen normally. The noobs gett irritated becouse they get killed in such ways. cmon for 70% its not about simulation, u all played mariokart right?
@henrikbohme I'm not on a COD page to specifically hate on it like you're doing. Yes, I no longer have a liking for the Call of Duty series but I don't go about on something I despise (like you do), to promote another game and troll around. It's getting out of hand and someone needs to stop it. Like various others here have said, if BF2 is amazing - go and play it instead of wasting your time here on a COD page. @chris8232 Couldn't have put it better myself. I look up to you, sire.
How does looking at stats make you play a video game better. Both guys in the video suck at COD a .89 K/D in a game full of little kids that have never played a realy shooter before. Im sick of COD making terrible games that are kid and new people friendly. Death streaks in camper warfare 2 is all the proof i need that they did this. Battlefield, Halo, Gears all require you to play to get better. Paying for stats and short movies with "top" Hollywood talent and terrible map packs isnt gonna do it. COD has been reduced to stealing ideas from other games and making them worse. Battlefield 3 will hopefully beat COD in sales and treat consumers in a fair way. BF3 FTW.
Another way to rob our sorry asses
@Neil_Clancy Uh, yeah. I agree with most of what you said, but. This is free. No reason to get mad about something that's not even true.
@masterds64 And we'll both get what we pay for interestingly enough.
@erix43. Wooaahh man! You know what you sound like? A COD player! Its okay to hate COD, but you can't just say Activision can suck it, and Halo is better, without giving a reasonable explanation! I had a whole explanation, like half a page long about why COD isn't good anymore, but I lost it. So I'll write some other time. But the main jest of it is, is that COD 2 had great original stuff. COD 3 was just more of that with some minuscule new features. And then we get COD... Modern Warfare! Whaaaa?! It was exciting, and something new! And then WaW. Flamethrowers, violence. Okay. Then MW2! With more Modern Warfare? WTF? Then Black Ops. More Modern Warfare, with a new theme? WTF? And now we have MW3! With... oh, what a surprise, more Modern Warfare. And you have, lets say, Halo. Halo CE... INSANE GRAPHICS! INSANE GAMEPLAY! REVOLOUTIONARY! And so on and so forth. Every Halo has had something revolutionary about it. Although Reach started to lose it, they shouldn't let us down with Halo 4. You see, as long as they have something amazing about it, its going to be amazing! You can't expect people not hate a game you just keep repeating for more money! COD was good, but now it sucks! I'm sorry COD fans, but you can't argue with that. In the end, the best games will have the best bragging rights, but only you get to decided which one you want.
@erix43 Uh, guess what your sounding like? A COD PLAYER! That's not really the way to look at it. Personally, I think that Halo is better, BUT THATS MY OPINION. Its not that you can't hate CoD, its the way you display your hate. Saying Activision can suck it doesn't really justify anything you know? I can't pin down the exact reason why I hate CoD, but I have a general idea. The first four or so CoDs (except Finest Hour dear God!) went very smoothly. They were like most games, simple, but fun. Along came Call of Duty 2... FOR THE XBOX 360! That's awesome! And it was a great game.What comes next? Call of Duty 3. Grass that bends?! WTF? You see, nothing too good about it. COD 2 was amazing! But COD 3, more of the same. Then came Call of Duty... MODERN WARFARE! Modern fighting? Hell yeah! Then came WaW... flamethrowers! Violence! But, nothing to different. Then came Modern Warfare 2... more Modern Warfare? And then comes Black Ops... New theme! Uh, okay. And now what do we have? MW3... more Modern Warfare. You see, nothing special, nothing interesting. Just more for the kiddos. And then you have, lets say, Halo. Halo CE... AWESOME GRAPHICS! INSANE GAMEPLAY! REVOLOUTIONARY! Halo 2... WAY BETTER GRAPHICS! MORE GUNS! DUAL WIELDING! PLAYING AS AN ELITE! EARTH! XBOX LIVE! And then came along Halo 3... FOR THE XBOX 360!
thats actually pretty cool.
@rohn13 I never heard them say that. Robert Bowling on twitter said stuff in the video will always be free.
I do not like COD but I would be lying if I said I am not impressed.
@ VoicelessStone LOL. I am definitely a fan of CoD, fanboy? Not so much. I believe MW3 will sell more than BF3 because, well, it's CoD. It obviouslt not a fact, since I can't predict the future, but just my opinion, one based on the fact that COD has outselled every other game in the past few years. So it's not a crazy prediction at all, and it certainly doesn't make me a fanboy, since I never claimed BF3 was going to suck or be worse than MW3, did I? As for the other bit, every article I have read (which would qualify as research, since there's nothing else to go by..) has stated that the features Activision has mentioned about Elite thus far, are free. Sorry, nothing idiotic about it, really. They are waiting until after the Beta to tell people about the premium stuff. So basically all the stuff on this video, it's free. And yeah, this service does seem pretty interesting. We will have to see. :)
@timmy00 Actually it is only free while it is in beta, like all beta programs, but there will be a charge for it once it is out of beta.
Honestly, I think this looks pretty cool. I'm not trying to defend Activision's choice to pay for the higher benefits of this feature, but it is a good way to get people more excited to play the game. I will never pay for Elite, but I will most likely take advantage of it's free features. One thing I like about this is that while on-the-go, you can change your loadouts, so when you get home, they are all ready to use in your game. I think that's a pretty novel idea. As much as I hate Activision, Call of Duty is one game that I enjoy every once in a while. Sure, it's quite simple, but isn't that a good thing after a long day at work when you simply want to relax and play a video game?
but Halo Waypoint came out 2 years ago. Oh, my mistake this is clearly the so original design of COD: Elite.
Actifail needs to spend more money on more realistic gameplay,sounds,physics, and a game engine overall but they won't because they are a bunch of greedy punks that need to open their eyes and realize that we are NOT in 2007 anymore.
So obviously prepared Chris Wilson my arse 111 hrs played my kills 11 my deaths 11 overall kills 110 and overall deaths 110 more like someone just typed up the stats.
the thing i love about playing Counter strike its free once you pay for the whole game and now Team fortress 2 is completely free..ITS FREE once owned and STEAM looks after all my stats and friends lists for FREE, thx STEAM. Ill probably keep playing Counter Strike :). Im not interested in progress, if this is progress.
I only clicked the link to troll this game.
So stupid...
do all of your friends need the CODelite in order to make comparisons???
cool idea...oh yeah, this has already been done...pass
@masterds64 I know an easy way to defend CoD elite. It's free. See it's that easy.
its activision what did you expect?
Im not sure whats worse, the audacity of them asking for money for this, or the fact that people are idiotic enough to pay it lol. Everyone can get this battlefield 3 does this for free nonsense out of their heads too because EA are as capable picking your pocket as activision, and they are up to all kinds of nonsense already.
I hate both bf3 and mw3, so I say this...why do you have to pay for something many other games do free of charge? For those defending this...well seeing as this is posted on the 360 end I guess you dont mind paying xbox live ethier... I'll stick to free online gaming and services thank you.
I am a battlefield 3 fanboy.
People need to learn that this is free. :/
OH NOOOO! another way 2 pay money just to look at your stats and where you died! FAIL!!!!!
[This message was deleted at the request of the original poster]
COD is just wanting more money.there not listening to there fan base. they are just greedy people and wasting the money they made on stupid crap like ELITE.I ONLY CARE ABOUT FIXING SERVER LAG & KEEPING HACKERS OUT OF MY WAY!
i dont know what il do if i cant check my COD stats on my iphone... what a joke
BF3 fans stop trolling on everything that is involved with call of duty. those games are for completely different types of gamers and you going on here and saying COD sucks doesn't change anybodies opinion.
Wow. As if Activision doesn't already overcharge, underserve, and generally screw over their customers, now they want to charge people 20$ a month to look at statistics and leaderboards. It's crazy. You know what else is crazy? Expecting a game from a money-grubbing company built on a sub-par engine from 2009 and a tired gameplay formula from 2007 with no vehicles and tiny maps to compete with the most graphically advanced video game ever made, complete with a realistic physics and destructibility suite, a full complement of vehicles, massive maps, and solid, entertaining gameplay. I don't need to tell you not to pay for Elite, if you're planning on it there's no hope for you anyway. Don't buy Modern Warfare 3. You'll just be feeding the beast. Help bring down Bobby Kotick and his disgraceful excuse for a games company. You want a fun shooter? Watch one trailer for Battlefield 3. Then pre-order the 2011 Game of the Year, courtesy of the talented folks at DICE.
doesnt bungie give you this for free?
Simplify it a bit ..... i dont think that ten year olds can handle this kind of tech....
Man i won't sleep unless I know all those stats! I won't be able to game at all! Wait..looks like i'm going to sleep..guess this money grabbing scam didn't fool me.
@MunchTooEat -- That's a problem because?
@EctoSpartan, have you seen Call Of Duty Elite? They pretty much copy Halo
I dont need a site to tell me not to use a sniper rifle on a tiny map like nuketown. Especially not one I have to pay for

Commuter train hits car in Philadelphia, 1 hurt
PHILADELPHIA - PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Police say a commuter train has collided with a car stuck between gates at a crossing in Philadelphia, and one person in the car is hurt.
The accident happened at a crossing in the East Falls section of the city Thursday night. Police say there are no injuries reported on the train.
Fifty-four-year-old passenger Joe Higgins says the Norristown-bound train was moving slowly and was approaching a station when the accident happened.
Higgins says many people on the train didn't even realize something had happened. They stayed on the train until Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority personnel took them off.
The car was sitting upside-down after the crash and appeared to have suffered significant damage.

Mountain Weather forecast - Snowdonia National Park
The Snowdonia Mountains are made up of 90 mountain peaks including the tallest mountain in Wales, Snowdon, standing at 1,085m. It can be divided into four areas with the northernmost area the most popular, including peaks such as Moel Hebog, Myndd Mawr and the Nantlle Ridge. Many hikers tend to concentrate on Snowdon itself regarding it as a fine mountain. However it can become quite crowded, particularly with the Snowdon Mountain Railway running to the summit.
Moving into Wales brings with it a return to the high, imposing peaks of the Lakes and Highlands. The area is most famed for Snowdon, the highest peak in England and Wales at some 1,085 metres above sea level. The peak welcomes around half a million visitors every year, of which four fifths scale the peak on foot, whilst the remainder opt to take the train instead.
One of the mountain's main attractions is the sheer number and variety of paths reaching the peak. This means that everyone from mountaineering novices to climbing experts should find a way up Snowdon that will suit their abilities or provide them with a sufficient test. The easiest is the Llanberis path which - being the longest - has the most shallow ascent. Conversely, the Watkin Path is widely seen as being the most demanding ascent, despite also being named the prettiest.
The Snowdonia Mountains weather page provides a 5 day weather forecast for many places within Snowdonia Mountains and the surrounding area, featuring 3 hourly updates on weather conditions for rainfall, temperature, wind speed and wind direction.
Weather Warnings and alerts for the Snowdonia region are also displayed during periods of severe weather. We warn the public and emergency responders of severe or hazardous weather which has the potential to cause danger to life or widespread disruption through our National Severe Weather Warning Service. Weather warnings are displayed for rain, snow, wind, fog and ice. For more information please view our Weather warnings guide page.

COLIN McCARTHY
Miami FL Senior
40: 4.65 (estimated)
An active linebacker with good speed to cover ground. Has nice burst downhill and shows upfield burst to be a factor as a blitzer. Shows ability to shoot upfield and sneak through gaps to make stops in the backfield. Wraps up and drag downs the ballcarrier in the open field. Gets nice depth on his zone drops and shows comfort in coverage. Willing to take on fullback in the hole.
Undersized and not a major factor vs. the run. Gets stuck in traffic and trash at the point of attack. Rarely wins a battle vs. the lead blocker, whether it's a fullback or pulling lineman. Gets more than he gives as a tackler and hitter. Struggles when defending the inside run and can get caught out of position. Doesn't take great angles in pursuit and overpursues, giving up cutback lanes. Doesn't have great hips when trying to match up in man coverage and will get caught looking at times in the backfield.
Some draft sites have McCarthy listed as one of the better ILBs in the country, and I just simply did not see it. He's not a factor vs. the run and seems to make more mistakes than plays. Moved to starting middle linebacker after 2.5 seasons as the starting strongside linebacker. Had his best season this past year with 119 tackles and 10.5 tackles for loss. His junior year he had 95 tackles and 10.5 for loss. Only appeared in 4 games in '08 due to a shoulder injury. Prior to that he started in '07 as a sophomore with 74 tackles and 12 tackles for loss. Also for his career, he had 4.5 sacks, 4 forced fumbles, 3 picks, 5 pass breakups, and 1 blocked punt.
He's a guy that I think can have a nice career as a backup MLB in a 4-3 scheme and special teams player. But he lacks the size, toughness, and physicality you want in a MLB at the next level. And while his speed and decent coverage ability might make him a better fit as a WILL in the 4-3 scheme. But either way, his value to a team is on special teams, not as a prospective starter. He just doesn't make any plays vs. the run, and is rarely in position to do so in the games I saw this past year. So perhaps he was a much better player as a junior on the outside, but I didn't see it this past year. I've seen fullbacks destroy him in the hole, and he constantly seems to be the victim when opposing teams are making plays vs. Miami's defense. He may grade well in intangibles and be a hard worker that down the road might carve himself a niche as a nickel linebacker like Coy Wire for the Falcons, but I see no permanent future as a starter.
McCarthy could add depth to the Falcons roster, but he's only valuable as a special teams player. He is a similar player as Wire, and his only value is because he's younger than Wire. Eventually he might improve enough in coverage to get some reps in nickel situations, but he'd be too much a liability vs. the run to be trusted for extensive playing time. Unless he became one of the team's captains on special teams, he's not going to last beyond his rookie contract.
A team looking for a backup might snag him in the seventh round, but he's not really any better than talent you'd find on the undrafted market.
1-poor, 2-weak, 3-above average, 4-very good, 5-elite
Speed: 3.5
Tackling: 2.0
Coverage: 3.0
Point of Attack: 2.0
Instincts: 2.0
Pass Rush: 2.0

The federal Corporation for National and Community Service named Whitman College to the 2012 President's Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll for the sixth time.
The annually compiled honor roll recognizes colleges and universities for "exemplary, innovative, and effective community service programs," according to its website.
Whitman's community service coordinator Kelsie Butts, Class of 2011, said three programs in particular helped Whitman stand out: Its Mentor Program, the college's largest volunteer outreach effort; College Coaches, which pairs Whitman students with Walla Walla High School students; and this year's pilot civil rights teaching initiative, Whitman Teaches the Movement.
"Our students work hard to be actively engaged in the community and are always seeking ways to improve our outreach to the Walla Walla Valley," Kelsie said in a release. "It's nice when they can be nationally recognized for the many ways they give back."
Kelsie said 450 Whitman students engage in at least 20 hours of community service each semester, tallying 18,000 hours annually.
Launched in 2006, the Community Service Honor Roll is the highest federal recognition a school can achieve for its commitment to service-learning and civic engagement. Honorees are selected based on a number of factors, including scope and innovation of service projects, percentage of student participation, incentives for service and the extent to which the school offers academic service-learning courses.
Unclear details from a secondary source led to inaccurate reporting in a column item Sunday about former Walla Wallan Amy Wilkinson. She graduated from eighth grade at Rogers Elementary in 1996 and from Walla Walla University in 2004. "If only I'd graduated middle school in 2004 -- I'd still be 20 years old," she joked.
Mallory Livingston, a first-year honor student at Eastern Oregon University in La Grande, nominated Norbert Rossi for an Inspirational Teacher Award.
Mallory and 10 other students named 11 educators from Oregon, New Mexico, Washington, California and Nevada for the honor.
Students who maintained dean's list standing during fall term could nominate a teacher who influenced them on their road to higher education and academic excellence.
EOU presents the awards annually in recognition of outstanding teachers who encourage and represent the importance of higher education to their students.
Norb is director of choirs at Walla Walla High School where Mallory graduated in 2011. She is the daughter of Paula and Jeff Livingston.

It is commonly known that heat rises, if you need an example, open your freezer and see where the cold air goes. This same principle applies to hot air balloons; the hot air causes the balloon to rise. Many home performance professionals understand what this means for a home in the winter. Unfortunately, the average consumer may not understand how important this concept is. On average 60% of heat escapes through the roof of a house, attic or roof insulation can go a long way in reducing…Continue

Don't be discouraged by the buzz that the Oscar best-picture race is essentially a done deal -- or that all the other big awards are just waiting to be handed out to the front-runners.
Although "The King's Speech" is likely to go home with the gold, the Oscars are predictably unpredictable, and we're not just talking streakers and Bjork's swan dress.
