If you could pick your b-day...
Me (34) DH (37)
DS (6) + DS (3) + 1 More On The Way! (EDD 1-14-2012)
My birthday is Dec 31, which for the most part I enjoyed but more so when I was older. I would go with Jan 5th because the further you can get away from Christmas the better. I know your deductible will start over and you won't get the tax break for 2011 but I think it's worth it!
I agree with PP - the tax break would be awesome for December but i think January 5th is a better birthday.
Ayla Brynn 1.24.12
Cole James 5.24.13
Baby BOY due 11.24.15!!
I would shoot for Dec. 30th to get the tax break, and to NOT have to start the deductible over for the year. Kids will enjoy their birthdays no matter what!! Good Luck!! I may be in the same boat as you since I will be having a repeat Csection myself.
Wife to Michael (11/06)
DD Addison (09/07)
DD Zoey (04/10)
Well if it is the 30th you get to claim the child on taxes for this year. I would pick the 5th, but I have my personal reasons. That was my baby brother's bday and he is no longer with us. Also, the 5th is a good point for celebrating with the kiddos at school. Just depends if the tax break this year matters...
I have to go with Jan 5th, for same reasons...further from Christmas, friends can come to party, etc. My birthday is in February and only like half of my friends ever made it to my parties, because of skiiing on Pres. Day Weekend.
However, the benefits of Dec. 30 are for you--tax deduction and insurance.
I would like the same birthday as mine which is April 10th. However, that would mean an 11-month gestation period at which point I'm pretty sure Susana would have me murdered. The due date of 1/17 is fine.
My ramblings
I'm a saver! I'd pick Dec. 30th and use some of the saved $$ to buy something special for you/you and baby/DH.
My bday is 12/19 and I have always LOVED it. There's so much celebration happening that time of year anyway and as a little kid it's as if it's one bid bday party. I have had lots of fun with it. I'd say Dec. 30th. Then you get the insurance benefits, plus your child will get to have his/her bday during all the holiday celebrations and not just after when everyone is tired out and over it.
Kristen + E (12/18/10)
Baby Boy Born 1/20/2012
I say the 5th... it is my birthday and I love it. :)
Rachele (34) DH (40) AKA My Bestest Ever...
Absurdly Amazing DD (9/17/04) *LOML*
Baby Boy Rome 8/28/2012 via NUVBAC!!
I'd definitely go with Dec. The reasoning about kids and parties is complete rubish.. It works itself out no matter what!

text: [[quoteright:325:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Visionaries_cast_by_Leanne_Hannah.jpg]][[caption-width-right:325:Fan art of the main cast by Leanne Hannah.]]'''''Visionaries: Knights of the Magical Light''''' is an AnimatedSeries from [[TheEighties 1987]] co-produced by Creator/{{Hasbro}}, Creator/SunbowEntertainment [[InternationalCoproduction and]] Creator/TMSEntertainment. Originally conceived as as an [[MerchandiseDriven action figure toy-line, the series had both a cartoon and a comic book line to help promote it]]. Unfortunately due to low sales, the show only lasted thirteen episodes and the comic was cut off mid-storyline.Set on the planet of Prysmos, where its [[AlienSky three blazing suns]] have recently gone into convergence - signalling the rebirth of the [[TheMagicComesBack Age of Magic]]. As all their previous technology has now gone dead, [[DaysOfFuturePast its people quickly revert]] into a [[FeudalFuture feudalistic medieval lifestyle]]. Shortly thereafter the wizard [[CaptainErsatz Merklynn]] announces a challenge; all those who can reach his shrine will be granted powers of [[VoluntaryShapeshifting transformation]] and other magical powers. The show follows the fourteen successful characters; the good Spectral Knights and the evil Darkling Lords.----!!Tropes of the Magical Light:* AboveGoodAndEvil: Merklynn's only desire is to see magic restored to its former prominence. As such, he doesn't care one way or the other about whether or not his agents are good or evil, so long as they perform the tasks he gives them. At the start of the series, he would also bail out whichever side needed his aid, in order to keep his agents in play (setting captured Darkling Lords free, for example). However, after one too many [[TheFarmerAndTheViper attempts]] by Darkstorm to steal his power, Merklynn decided to start letting the Darkling Lords get ''themselves'' out of trouble. He also became friendlier to the Spectral Knights over time, and took action against legitimately evil sorcerers.* ActionFigureFileCard: The toys had them.* ActionHoggingOpening* AlienSky: Prysmos' three suns.* AnAxeToGrind: Darkstorm's weapon of choice.* AnimalMotifs: All the characters (both Spectral Knights and Darkling Lords) have an animal symbol (called a "totem") that grants them their powers. They also represent the emotions of the users. ** Additionally, the staves had dual-image holograms (one image unique to each staff representing its power and the other representing the owner's affiliation). The Spectral Knights' staves had a [[UnicornsAreSacred unicorn]], while those of the Darkling Lords had a dragon.* AnimationBump: Compared to either ''WesternAnimation/TheTransformers'' or ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyAndFriends'' (both also Sunbow produced); or any action cartoon at that time[[note]]largely due to TMS' involvement[[/note]]. It still holds up fairly well too.* {{Animorphism}}* ArchNemesis: Cryotek and Cindarr. Galadria and Virulina. Ectar and Reekon. They all knew each other before joining their respective factions.* BadPowersBadPeople: The Darkling Lords all have totems based on creatures that, InUniverse, seem to have unpleasant symbolism at best (in addition the array of predators and scavengers, there's TheBrute with a KillerGorilla form, the YesMan who becomes an innocuous skittering beetle, and a cowardly figure whose form is vaguely armadillo-like). Beyond that, their power staffs consist of three based on Destruction, Decay and Fear, and Lexor's power of Invulnerability, which is implied to have been granted based on his cowardice.** GoodPowersGoodPeople: In comparison, the Spectral Knights have noble animal totems and far more benevolent-themed power staffs: Knowledge, Wisdom, Might and Speed.* BarrierWarrior: Lexor's power staff allowed him to erect an impenetrable protective barrier. * BearsAreBadNews: Cryotek's totem.* BeardOfEvil: Each of the male Darkling Lords has one, whereas Leoric is the only Spectral Knight to have any kind of facial hair.* BerserkButton: For Cravex, pretty much '''everything'''.** Also Mortredd may seem like a cowardly sycophant, but do not insult his boss.* BoisterousBruiser: Cryotek* BroughtDownToNormal: The vehicles have compartments which can remove (or restore) a visionary's totem.* ButtMonkey: Mortdredd just couldn't catch a break. Even his ''totem'' sucks. * ByThePowerOfGrayskull: The characters used two-sentence rhymes to cast their staff or shield spells.* CarryABigStick: Cindarr's trusty mace.* ColourCodedArmies: You can tell the character's alignments just by looking at their armor. Bright primaries for the Spectral Knights, and variations on black, red and purple for the Darkling Lords.** Additionally, the totem animal images on their chests; the Spectral Knights had blue images, the Darkling Lords had green.** The Spectral Knights' weapons and staves are silver and the Darkling Lords' ones are gold. * ContinuityNod[=/=]RunningGag: The Botanical Garden Committee. Other lesser examples include the barracks zoning problems and the farmers from "Quest for the Dragon's Eye" being accused of "unfair competition".* CrypticConversation: How Leoric's Staff of Wisdom imparts its knowledge. It is, of course, [[FigureItOutYourself damn near useless.]]* CrystalSpiresAndTogas: What Prysmos looked like during the Age of Science.* CunningLikeAFox: Ectar's cleverness earns him the fox's totem.* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: Darkstorm has proven to be quite cunning and probably wrote a page or two of the EvilOverlordList. For example, he is perfectly willing to help others, as long as it furthers his goals, such as saving the other Darkling Lords in the first episode in exchange for their servitude. He even chastises Virulina for her selfish attitudes regarding others.-->'''Virulina:'''"I, for one, would never try to rescue one of my friends.-->'''Darkstorm:''' "That, my dear, is why you ''have'' no friends".* DesignatedGirlFight: Galadria, the female Spectral Knight, is able to turn into a dolphin. The only member of the Darkling Lords she can fight happens to be Virulina, the woman who turns into a shark. Oddly averted with Virulina herself, who got into a few fights with the male Visionaries and did fairly well for herself. * DirtyCoward: Lexor.* DumbMuscle: Cindarr.* EnemyMine: The Sun Imps represent such a dangerous and chaotic force that the Spectral Knights and Darkling Lords are forced to team up to subdue them.* EpicFlail: Cryotek's signature weapon.* EverythingsEvenWorseWithSharks: Virulina's totem.* EvilOverlord: Darkstorm.* ExpositoryThemeTune* FeudalFuture: What Prysmos looks like during the Age of Magic.* FriendToAllLivingThings: Cindarr stops fighting to rescue a cat buried from a pile of rubble and refuses to kill a unicorn to take its horn.** Arzon is also reluctant to kill animals.* FusionDance: Cryotek ends up absorbing Cravex's totem along with his own in one episode. Bad things happen. * GentleGiant: Cindarr.* GoodPowersBadPeople: Erecting a protective barrier might normally be a good power, but it was typically wielded by the sniveling coward Lexor, who used it to protect himself more than anyone else. * HeterosexualLifePartners: Leoric and Feryl, most noticeably in "Feryl Steps Out" and "The Power of the Wise".* HumanChess* HypocriticalHumour: In ''Lion Hunt'', Leoric is {{Mode Lock}}ed in lion form (with a PaletteSwap so he looks like a different magical lion) and is being hunted by his own friends because the commoners complain that there's a lion terrorising them. After the truth has been revealed, the commoners call their powers "witchcraft" and the Knights tell them not to jump to conclusions without learning what's actually going on. Leoric gives a rather sarcastic growl.* {{Jerkass}}: Merklyn is a complete and total asshole. The first episode ends with him making the people he just empowered leave via mudslide, while he ''points and laughs'', for no reason other than his amusement. At one point he threatens to blight the good guy's kingdoms if they don't obey him.* KingOfBeasts: Leoric's lion form represents his role as leader of the Knights.* MagicalIncantation: The staves are activated with a rhyming couplet.* MagicKnight: Almost all the major characters except for Merklynn. * ManEatingPlant: The Meatius Chompitii from the episode "Honor Among Thieves". * ManiacMonkeys: Cindarr's totem.* TheMagicComesBack: The premise of the show. Every 1000 years Prysmos enters an Age of Magic/Age of Science.* MerchandiseDriven* MistakenForOwnMurderer: Leoric gets [[ShapeShifterModeLock ModeLocked]] as a lion, and his fellow Spectral Knights who ''know he shapeshifts into a lion'' assume this other lion killed him. * MonochromeCasting: The entirety of the cast is made up of Caucasians -- the only people of any other race are seen in background group shots. Even the cancelled second set of toys features exclusively white guys.* MysticalPlague: The Magical Plague in "Horn of Unicorn, Claw of Dragon" only affects magic users.* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Darkstorm.* NeverSayDie: While "destroy" is used, "slay" is also fairly common. ''Very'' averted, however, in "Lion Hunt", in which every Spectral Knight says "Dead?!" unbelievingly, as the presumed fate of Leoric. Darkstorm even tells his allies to kill the villagers!* OnlyInItForTheMoney: Reekon only serves Darkstorm because Darkstorm pays him. At one point, he even mutters to himself that he'd willingly serve Leoric if the Spectral Knights made him a better offer. * TheOwlKnowingOne: Leoric's Staff of Wisdom.** Who almost [[RiddleMeThis never gives]] [[FigureItOutYourself a straight answer]]. Except that one time he got to call Leoric stupid.** "...oh, and watch out behind you."* PsychoForHire: Cravex.* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Leoric (Prince of New Valarak), Cryotek (King of Northelia) and Arzon (Crown Prince of Regalia). On the Darkling Lords side we have Darkstorm (Baron of Blackdak, Lord of the Veldt, Satrap of Zangora), who usually takes a personal hand in trying to defeat the Spectral Knights.* SealedEvilInACan: The Sun Imps. Though sealed chaos in a can might be slightly more accurate.* ShapeshifterModeLock: Happens to Leoric in "Lion Hunt", in which he becomes trapped in his animal form.* SmugSnake: Darkstorm.* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Galadria and Virulina. They're also the only two who have aquatic animal forms. That said, they sometimes ''did'' fight the male cast members, and didn't do a half bad job.* SuperSenses: Feryl's "amazing tracking skills".* SycophanticServant: Mortredd to Darkstorm. * {{Technopath}}: If a Visionary didn't have a staff, he or she gained the power to use certain magical vehicles instead.* ToylessToylineCharacter: Again, Galadria and Virulina. They weren't even included in the canceled second series of action figures.** Merklynn didn't get a figure either, although at least Hasbro planned to include a holographic image of him in the unproduced Iron Mountain playset.* TransformationConventions: Justified. Merklynn gave each knight their animal totems based on the abilities and personality traits they displayed during his quest.* TwentyFourHourArmor* VancianMagic: The Visionaries' magical staves each only have one fairly limited function, and may only be used once before needing to be recharged in Merklynn's magical pool.* VoluntaryShapeshifting* WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway: Of all the totems Merklynn could have chosen for Galadria and Virulina - they get stuck with aquatic animals. They also end up with neither Staffs (until the comic book series), nor Vehicle-based powers.** Also invoked in-show by Ectar when he compared Leoric's Staff of Knowledge to Cindarr's Staff of Destruction.** In the comics, Galadria and Virulina received, after a few issues, magical shields with the powers of healing and sickness respectively.* WhipItGood: Leoric's weapon of choice.* WizardBeard: Merklynn sports a particularly fine example.* WizardsLiveLonger: Merklynn. He was a prominent figure during the first Age of Magic...which was over 7000 years ago as the series begins. ** Heskador, the witch who brews the potion which [[ShapeshifterModeLock traps Leoric in his Lion form]], claims to have been around for 10,000 years.* YesMan: Mortredd.----

Wednesday: Off
I've been thinking about body fat and composition lately, anyone have any good resources I could study up with?
I really enjoy making 'gum cubes'. This is where I turn my finished flavorless gum into a perfect cube. Then I put it somewhere random, but safe where no one will step/sit on it etc. Like a tree branch or the edge of garbage can in a middle school gym.
Tonight I'm making salmon for dinner... which I haven't had in forever! With asparagus that is topped with an over easy egg.... so excited! It is going to be so delicious.
I love seeing all of the Instagram posts about people doing the whole 30. The food always looks good, and it makes me feel good that they are meals that I eat all the time!
I've been working on trying not to snack extra at work... it was hard at first... but it is getting easier and easier the more I do it.
This year I had a goal of drinking more water... I am peeing so often now. I really hate that. peeing is so annoying.
This week I went to both Target and Fred Meyer to buy a planner... Target had ZERO left, and Fred Meyer only had ugly ones. So its plain and ugly, but I can at least get OCD about my days, weeks and months!
What are your random thoughts for today?!
What are you having for dinner?
Are you keeping up on your goals for 2015?

The scientists expected the applied nitrogen to modify the structure of the nickel-molybdenum, producing discrete, sphere-like nanoparticles. But they discovered something else.
Subjecting the compound to a high-temperature ammonia environment infused the nickel-molybdenum with nitrogen, but it also transformed the particles into unexpected two-dimensional nanosheets. The nanosheet structures offer highly accessible reactive sites consider the surface area difference between bed sheets laid out flat and those crumpled up into balls and therefore more reaction potential.
Using a high-resolution transmission microscope in Brookhaven Lab's Condensed Matter Physics and Materials Science Department, as well as x-ray probes at the National Synchrotron Light Source, the scientists determined the material's 2D structure and probed its local electronic configurations.
"Despite the fact that metal nitrides have been extensively used, this is the first example of one forming a nanosheet," Chen said. "Nitrogen made a huge difference it expanded the lattice of nickel-molybdenum, increased its electron density, made an electronic structure approaching that of noble metals, and prevented corrosion."
Hydrogen future
The new catalyst performs nearly as well as platinum, achieving electrocatalytic activity and stability unmatched by any other non-noble metal compounds. "The production process is both simple and scalable," Muckerman said, "making nickel-molybdenum-nitride appropriate for wide industrial applications."
While this catalyst does not represent a complete solution to the challenge of creating affordable hydrogen gas, it does offer a major reduction in the cost of essential equipment. The

Editor's Note: Our colleagues upstairs at Nieman Reports are out with their Summer 2012 issue, "Truth in the Age of Social Media," which focuses on issues like verification, crowdsourcing, and citizen journalism. Over the past few days, we've been giving you a glimpse at some of their stories — but make sure to read the issue in full. In this piece, Craig Silverman explores the complexity of verifying content in real time, and across multiple platforms.
In a handbook for aspiring journalists published in 1894, Edwin L. Shuman shared what he called one of the "most valuable secrets of the profession at its present stage of development."
He revealed that it was standard practice for reporters to invent a few details, provided the made-up facts were nonessential to the overall story. "Truth in essentials, imagination in nonessentials, is considered a legitimate rule of action in every office," he wrote. "The paramount object is to make an interesting story."
It was easy for a reporter of the time to get away with a few, or even a bushel of, inventions. Information was scarce and could take days or weeks to make its way to the public sphere. The telephone was not yet widely in use, and the first transatlantic wireless transmission was years away. The early mass-market Kodak Brownie camera was close to a decade from release. The machinery of publishing and distribution was in the hands of a few.
If a reporter wanted to fudge a few details to make his story a little more colorful, well, chances are no one would notice or call him on it. Shuman's advice is objectionable, but something about it — and the information and reporting environment in which it was offered — seems quaint and charming by today's standards.
It also highlights how much things have changed when it comes to accuracy and verification.

Charlie Sheen slams 'mallard brained' anti-gay Duck Dynasty star on Twitter
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
"In the 1970s, his marriage became strained. Robertson, now running a bar, was falling prey to alcohol, and at times would kick his wife and children out of the house. He began to commit many crimes, and would hide out in the woods for weeks at a time to avoid the authorities."
The only thing that kept (Phil's doormat) Kay in the marriage was the bumper sticker slogan, "One man, one wife, for one life"
WOW…well done Charlie…what a putdown to such ignorance…this creature is a dinosaur that should be extinct..
Sheen is a druggie and his comments are not worth taking seriously — he's nutty as well. Look at his background — fits right in with the Hollyweird crew
floridahank is a druggie and his comments are not worth taking seriously — he's nutty as well.
Nice to see Charlie is back on his meds. Thanks for the support and the voice.
My opinion of Mr. Sheen has been raised ;)
Lets hope this is the beginning of a full return to sanity for the guy.
Thus far, no criticism of GQ for publishing the comments. They have the right to edit articles. All of Robertson's words need not have appeared verbatim. The magazine could have simply reported the jist of his comments and no one would have taken any notice of it. But GQ behaves like any other media outlet. Publicity means sales.

Publisher's Description
Inspired by the women she has ministered to, author and minister, Jean Warner shares a special message for women facing fertility problems. With God's love and promises, this message of hope and faith in God's promises will give birth to life, which in turn, can result in miracles.
Women will be encouraged by testimonies from other women about how God brought life back to their wombs and testimonies from parents who are eager to share their stories of struggles and miracles. Learn from the examples of women in the Bible who thought they never would have a child, but never gave up on His promises.
Editorial Reviews
Jean Warner has been used of God in mighty
ways. You will be blessed and encouraged
when you read the revelation of the Word
of the Lord presented in this book. Dont be
surprised when you find yourself giving birth
to natural children, spiritual children, and
dreams and visions!
Rev. Stephanie Lawson
BRIDGE Ministries, Inc.
Louisville, Kentucky
In Gods Fertility Clinic, Jean Warner has
captured Gods plans for the miracle of life.
God is more excited about creative miracles
then we are. If the desire of your heart is to
have children and a miracle is what you are
praying for, then this book has been ordained
for you.
Damon Stuart
Worship Ministries
Chicago, Illinois
In the Bible, a woman who could not have
children experienced two types of pain:
feeling overlooked by God, and failing in her
duty as a wife. Jean Warner has been used
of God to heal many, and her passion is for
barren women. Many have experienced the
joy of having a child through her ministry.
This book will have you believing in Gods
miracles in others lives as well as your own.

Hello Archinect!
7pm: We are in Airbnb's amazing headquarters in the South of Market (SoMa) neighborhood of San Francisco, for a talk by Craig Dykers from Snohetta. I live blogged Dykers before, so I know we're in for a treat.
[Dykers was presented by this lovely architect who works at Airbnb and plans their office spaces.]
CD: This presentation is very graphic, so if you're at an angle you may want to change seats. There is sex, so you'll want to see that.
The lecture is about a question.
I was in China many years ago, and was learning Chinese. I walked into a fruit stand in Nanjing, and the only thing I recognized was oranges. So I said "Can I have three oranges?" in Chinese and the guy said "yes" and held up four fingers. I was disappointed, and repeated myself—and again he said yes—and counted "one, two, three," while pointing out the spaces between his fingers.
That changed everything for me. It's those things in between the objects that we create where life happens. That's a valuable lesson this Chinese seller taught me.
Those of us in creative professions often bandy around the idea of a "concept." But if you ask people what a concept means, you'll likely get 5-6 answers. A concept can mean many things. In our office, a concept is a question.
There are different kinds of questions—dangerous questions, questions that occur over coffee, questions that reverse back on themselves, questions that recur regularly, highly entangled questions, non-gender-specific questions, questions that are supposed to make you look smart…and so on.
But the most important question in my mind is the question that leads to another question. I think children understand this very well. They love watching you flip out because you can't answer why the sky is blue. In creative professions, you're always digging deeper. Why do we bother?
Deeply rooted in all of our searches…is a desire to find some kind of comfort. And that is connected to a kind of altruism. If we think we can provide comfort to ourselves—making the world a better place—we think it will help others. But why do we think it's up to us to make others happy? In a sense we're chasing our tails. The biggest cultural institution and effort on this continent, since we don't have cathedrals, is the automobile.
People thought it would be great, allowing us to transport goods, live farther away, and be mobile. It must have sounded so great. Never could we have imagined the spaghetti of roads that the automobile brought to us.
It's too scary to ask what the consequences of our altruism are. That's not a moral comment, but a sensibility about questioning the question, and questioning the answer.
In our office, people are not abstractions. Here at Airbnb, I sense a slightly different feeling, where you get to know the people you're creating for, but that's a relatively new thing. In many fields you don't know the people—their names and interests.
I know there's a lot of people here from SFMoMA, and I'm going to give a little lecture about art, which is scary because I don't know jack shit about this stuff.
On April 2 1917, Marcel Duchamp set out to buy a urinal, for a new art project. It's a weird day—when Woodrow Wilson declared war on Germany. It's too much of a coincidence for someone like Duchamp—clearly, he intended that.
He created this piece, which was never accepted in his own day. It's very erotic, with a kind of nipple.
When I learned about this piece, when I was in school, this was the top of the top. It represented a kind of abstract thinking to us. But I don't think it actually was. Here's why:
In 1866, Gustave Courbet was painting, and representation was changing at that time. He painted this—called The Origin of the World—and this is where you may want to get a bit closer to the screen, as it's hard to tell what this is. [laughter]. It was for a private client, but eventually became part of public discourse.
When you go to see the painting, it's in the back, near the mechanical room, and it's fun to see innocent people wander up and come face to face with a woman's…biology…in this way.
One hundred years after, in 1966, Duchamp releases his Étant donées.
When was the last time you stood naked in front of a mirror? It's not easy to do, and if you look like me, it's not very pretty. We're not very well made things. We're not very abstract.
By the way, I show this image because in a previous version of this lecture, I only had female figures and someone said I must be a misogynist. So I said, okay, I'll show a dick next time. So here it is—now I'm safe.
We descended from other animals. But nobody domesticated us but ourselves. We operate somewhere between predictability and intuition. If there's not enough predictability, you take your clothes off and have a party. (It's disorienting.) But if there's too much predictability, that's also not good.
When people see this bull statue in New York, about half the people take a picture at the front, and the other picture at the back. The balls are so shiny because people hold them to get their picture taken. You might think you wouldn't do that, but we've all done this kind of thing.
Our office is Snohetta, named after these mountains. To us it's important that our firm isn't named after a person, because that's not how we think about authorship.
We're constantly doing stuff—walking around, making things. We work in the same space where we eat, so there's a constant transition between working an eating at this big dinner table.
We try to work together in making things. It's one thing to make something by yourself, and really hard to do it with others.
We call our clients our "hosts." When we work with people, we try to have fun and engender laughter. But it's also serious, because it's a lot of money. I like to share this picture, because…the guy in the yellow shirt is the money guy. And he was like that from the beginning, even when we were $500K under budget. It always costs too much.
When I think about our work, instead of asking how much our work gives, we're interested in how much it allows others to give back.
National Ballet and Opera in Oslo
The project which has been most in the press is the National Ballet and Opera in Oslo. People in architecture say "you're working with the ground plane." But for us it's about perspective.
Meerkats don't need that much height, so a few go up on a little hill, and if they see a predator they can call out so their friends will be safe. It doesn't take that much height—and humans are like that too.
If you put people on plateaus, you get a sense of hierarchy. But if you put that space on a slope, that hierarchy is softened, and you can get more of a sense of who is there with you.
By now, the number of people who have scaled this roof is more than 2x the population of Norway. The opera is so popular that they simulcast the performance on the roof. And it also descends down to the water, so you can actually touch it. If you tried to touch the water in San Francisco, you'd probably get shot.
When the building first opened, we were waiting for critics' reviews, and the first headline about the building was this—a couple got caught having sex on the building.
At the time, I thought "oh god," because I had spent 10 years working on this building. In retrospect, I think it's kind of nice. There's a club now—there's a website where you can add your name if you have sex on the building. People also send us videos, like this one, of a motorcyclist who drives all over the building.
And people do that, because the building is allowing people to give something back, and that's good, even though the security guard was probably upset.
The Bibliotheca Alexandrina
We hoped this building would be seen as a hopeful point of connection between the east and the west…given the history of the site. But it ended up being a turbulent time, with September 11, 2001.
We were fearful after all this war, the library would burn, as it had in ancient history.
Later, we heard that the library was being protected by students who had formed a human chain around it—people who were both pro-government and anti-government. If you can imagine a library being such a site of peace. And the library remained that way, untouched, throughout the Arab Spring.
National September 11 Memorial Museum Pavilion
This little building links the memorial of the dead to the skyscrapers, which are about capitalism and the future. It's the most horizontal building at the site, and it's meant to remind you that you, as a person and not an abstraction have value. It's a luxury to have such a small building in New York.
The north facade gives off a lot of light through reflections, even though it doesn't get any direct sunlight itself. We build the atrium around these two very somber columns which were part of the original World Trade Center structure.
People come up to see the columns—it's the building with the most flesh pressed up against it—and they're always surprised when they do so.
Because they look in to see the columns, but they see people inside the building peering up at them. It's a theater of life. I always felt that if we could bring one smile to the World Trade Center site, that would be a good thing.
Ryerson Student Center, Toronto
The building is designed around bringing light inside—something that's important in the frigid country of Canada. The panels are [scored] by a digitally controlled machine and folded by humans. The panels are all the same, but they look very different and as if they're constantly changing.
Every floor in this building is wildly different from the next. One floor is the "beach," another is the "grotto," and one is the "bluff." And that's what it says on the elevator—there's no numbers. They're all different colors—the "garden" is green, the "sun" is white and orange. The "beach" has no traditional seats, and is the most popular. The students took it over, and every night at 6pm there are breakdancers. People show up in bikinis with beach balls, in this academic environment, and they don't know how to manage that.
We have two projects now that are next to strip clubs, and this was the first. The students would take pictures of the dancers on their patio on their breaks, and the university got sued, because it's a privacy issue.
Toronto gets so cold that sometimes the building's exhaust freezes at is leaves, and it creates really disconcerting clouds that go by really quickly and create dramatic lighting effects.
SF MoMA
You might be familiar with this facade—Bill Chrysler made this, he's here tonight [applause]. Each panel is unique which ended up being more cost effective than making them unitized. We call it a "preshrunk jeans" facade because it has these wrinkles which are going to help the building age beautifully. On the inside we have ways of bringing in "natural" light deep into the building—it's actually artificial, but it feels like it's natural light.
Times Square Reconstruction
We're the architects and landscape architects in charge of the reconstruction of Times Square. It's an insane project, where we're responsible for every surface you move across. Places to sit, move, relax, perform.
This is a map of "Measures of Irritation" showing how many places there are where people are pissed off.
We installed stainless steel pucks in the ground, the size of a nickel, and they just reflect the ambient light back and give you a sense of orientation.
There are over 600 events a year in the square.
There's some enormous benches, which are all about making your butt happy, because if your butt is happy, you are happy.
"The more generous we are, the more joyous we become. The more cooperative we are, the more valuable we become. The more enthusiastic we are, the more productive we become. The more serving we are, the more prosperous we become." —William Arthur Ward
We're taking all the vehicular traffic off of the square for 5 blocks—and people had a fit when that was proposed. But we're only halfway done the project and here are the stats. There's a huge reduction in crime and injuries in the square.
The economic benefits from the project are able to cover half of New York Police Departments' whole budget or 7x the budget of all the parks. This is just from five blocks of pedestrianized space.
There's also a cost. There's a huge increase in costumed characters in the square, including women known as "Desnudas" who would go topless. Which is legal in the city, but it caused a problem for families who weren't prepared to see that.
The police commissioner suggested tearing out the pedestrian plazas, but there was a backlash and that plan was reversed.
We're also working on Penn Station. It'll probably be a 30 year project and I'll be dead by the time it's finished, so it's a good thing we have young people in the office.
Question: Are you more of a boss in the office or a collaborator?
CD: I really love people—when I was young I sold women's clothes, and worked in a movie theater—but things do change over time. I notice now that when I walk into a group of people at the office, all the interesting conversations stop and people get quiet, like, "oh god, Craig's here." Nobody intends for that, but that kind of thing is kind of inevitable.
Question: Is it your role to touch every project?
CD: Oh no. I mean, I may touch a lot of things—it's fun to touch things—but I don't make love to every project. The older people get, the less they can focus in a way. But I can think strategically about certain things.
Question: What do you look at in SF MoMA when you go inside?
CD: Any architect or landscape architect who says to you that they understand exactly what they drew is lying. Often you're shocked by a little line that you drew and how it resolves as a built thing. The mind is not capable, I don't think, of seeing things in real terms. We can only imagine certain characteristics. It's dangerous to say that, because it's hundreds of millions of dollars of your clients' money—and there are clients here tonight—but I think it's important to be honest about this.
Question: How does a building stand the test of time?
CD: I think we're all the same at a certain level—this is a political thing and I don't speak for everyone in the office—but I think that a tribesman is not different from someone here, and I think men and women are the same. When a building makes us see those similarities, that's a good thing. But it's not just about providing comfort—architecture should also challenge us and make us see things that we don't otherwise see.

Phenomal food and great relaxing feelPosted Oct 6, 2015
It was a great honeymoon experience for my wife and I. It was very relaxing but also fun. The food was amazing, we didn't want to miss a meal. Even though you could find food at almost any hour of the day it was always fresh. The staff was very good and the rooms were very private. Even though the beach is across the street it really doesn't take away from anything. The beach staff is also very accommodating. I would recommend it to anyone and we will definitely be back.

Fabulous,,, OutstandingPosted Sep 16, 2015
Pros: The accomendations,the live entertainment every night the delicious food not your regular buffet it was like being at a five star restaurant.
Cons: Informing a person perfectly clear to keep on the arm band. The band irritated my wrist. Find another method.
Location: There was nothing nearby that I saw. I used vivator tours which I would not recommend anyone to use
Loved it Loved it. Staff is wonderful,outstanding the staff is at your beckon and call. I went alone and I had a ball. I calmed there famished as I was checking Ingram I said I'm so hungry. One of the employees asked would I like a sandwich I said yes and a Piña Colda. He bought it back to me I asked how much he said nothing I asked for another Piña Colda which was bought to me. I enjoyed everyone at the establishment. I give my experience a 100%. I would go back just to go back to this resort. Right across the street I was the beach it was so fabulous Thea's a person in a building who came out with a stop sign to stop any traffic which is very little at the beach the chairs are already out with towels there food you can order and drinks right there on the beach. Just fabulous. I went there alone for my birthday the best decision I ever made

Sad to leavePosted Sep 13, 2015
Pros: Nice iidea of the tree houses which are very private. Just perfect! A comfy balcony will let you chill and admire the unforgetable plants.
Location: Diving with ScubaCaribe located at the beach, excursions: waterfalls, Black River etc., party boat WildThing - wicked!
Great ambience, superb nice and helpful staff. Houses that are close to the street are heavily impacted by the traffic noise; talk to the staff and they will easily switch your rooms. Very nice food, quite nice selection of the local specialties. Really it is sad to leave.

friendliest staff evePosted Sep 8, 2015
Pros: Adults only resort-this made it even more relaxing
We travel frequently, and have never experienced the sincere commitment to customer service that we received at Sunset at the Palms. We did not encounter one single person who was not friendly. All went above and beyond to ensure that our stay was spectacular

Heaven on earth!Posted Sep 8, 2015
If your idea of a vacation is to slow down and enjoy life. If you like beautiful scenery and the nicest people, with amazing beaches. If you like being treated like family, this is the best place imaginable!!!

It took me just under 3 hours to get through the museum, and then I jumped into off for the 3 hour drive to stay with my oldest buddy, Kyle Thorne (he is older by a month) who lives in Southlake Texas an affluent suburb of Dallas. We rehashed a history that goes back to the age of 5, and includes a great deal of water over the damn. Still hard to believe we will both be 53 very soon.

Rated 4 out of 5 by COLLY from I would recommend this product The product has a couple of threads pulled at the bottom edges but not really noticeable which I cut off anyway. The material was more cotton than polyester which I was really happy about. For the price, it was excellent value. I did complain about the pulled threads and was happy and surprised that the company actually refunded me the delivery cost which I think was really good practice. My comments were taken on-board and I got a lovely polite reply. Excellent.

Ingredients:1 cup of standard flour1 teaspoon of baking powder3/4 cup of shredded coconut3/4 cup of rolled oats3/4 cup of cranberries2/3 cup packed brown sugar1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon110 grams of butter1 good tablespoon of golden syrup2 tablespoons of water1/2 teaspoon of baking sodaMethod:Prep a tray with baking paper and turn the oven on to bake at 180 degrees.Chuck all the dry ingredients (except baking soda) into a largish bowl and use a spoon or fork to mix them. Don't bash them to bits, just make sure the brown sugar is broken down and the cranberries are separated.Chop the butter into a pot with the golden syrup and water and warm over a medium heat. Don't let the combo boil. As soon as the butter is melted turn of the heat and tip in the baking soda. Stir it in (it'll froth up, but that's good) and then pour the whole lot into the dry ingredients.Using the back of a tablespoon, stir it all together. Again - don't over mix. As soon as you have no dry flour visible, you're done.Roll into good sized balls and flatten with a fork or fish-slice. Bake for about 12 - 14 minutes, depending on the oven.Enjoy. They should last a couple of days in an airtight container.
