2014 Recipient | AIA Small Project Awards
Head in the Clouds Pavilion | Notes of Interest
The Head in the Clouds Pavilion on New York City's Governors Island comes out of the desire to create a 'place to dream in the city of dreams'. Made from 53,780 recycled plastic bottles - the amount, thrown away in New York City in 1 hour - it is a space where visitors can enter into and contemplate the light and color filtering through the 'cloud' from the inside, out.
A series of 'pillows' made from 1 gallon jugs form the exterior, while 16 and 24 ounce water bottles line the interior. A curved aluminum diagrid frame provides structural integrity and creates a small seating/dreaming area for 50 people at the base. Water bottles were filled with varying amounts of water and organic blue food coloring to provide ballast so that no foundation was needed.
More than 200 volunteers from the arts, architectural, and community at large helped build and assemble the pavilion. The team collected used empty plastic bottles from organizations, businesses, schools, and individuals throughout New York City and beyond, then repurposed the bottles to construct the pavilion.
All of the building components can be easily broken down and transported- including a collapsible aluminum diagrid frame- a simple way to provide the structural integrity without relying on heavy steel beams, or larger support systems. Rather than rely on high-tech fabrication techniques to turn the bottles and aluminum into cladding and structure, the design team created a simple, repetitive, cost-effective system of connections, in order to quickly and easily assemble this free, public structure.

Jury Comments
A great way to engage the public, bring attention to an environmental issue and simultaneously raise awareness about design. An installation becomes a conversation piece. Aggregations of disposable objects transform artifacts of waste into a pop culture pavilion through the use of colored water and light. A poetic transformation of the commonplace object, that uses design to elucidate an important real world issue.

Amelio sleeper sofa for Krug
This is a 3-seater, single sleeper I designed and engineered while working for Krug on their healthcare line. A rectilinear, modular component base sofa that could house personal belongings and be ordered at custom lengths to fit almost any installation requirement. The back cushion flipped and folded down to reveal the sleeping surface which could be easily cleaned. There were options for casters, a plinth base, wood/steel legs, fixed seat or storage seat and wood or urethane capped arms. For the under seat storage version, a melamine finished inside frame had drain holes for liquid or debris that could be properly cleaned between uses.

An awareness of danger and benefits while purchasing property at a trustee sale will permit an investor the chances to leverage themselves in the market of real estate. A simple understanding about the variables that are involved in this will increase the power of real estate portfolio. The more information you will collect, more you will be able to make. There are various kinds of liens which show on the property title. Liens include property tax liens, mortgage liens, and the association of house owner liens, mechanics liens as well as IRS liens. Any one among the lien holders has a capability for foreclosing.
Ensure that one researches about the title history before they bid on house at a trustee sale. If a lien that one is purchasing is not the one in the first position, he or she might acquire extra liens that they were actually not expecting. There are varieties of ways to do the research about liens and their respective positions. The most perfect approach will be with an assistance of Title Company. They have ability for accessing all types of liens and their respective positions before buying a property. Once the liens are determined in the favorable position, a depositor can start analyzing the expenses for repairs linked with the house.
The expression "As-Is" is regarded as a synonym of Trustee sale, there will be no need for any kind of inspections and no purchaser or seller warranties. Also, there will be no title insurance. While bidding on the property at trustee sale, one should be prepared for having a check on the amount of cashier of nearly ten thousand dollars. This is regarded as non-negotiable deposit. This specific amount is offered to the trustee at the point of winning a bid. If one has second thoughts or does not close a transaction on the business day, one will have to surrender ten thousand dollars and also has the chances of facing legal results.
The balance of the purchase cost will be demanded on the business day itself. If you do not have your own money, the temporary financing is accessible through the money lenders. These are not the popular banks but the people or small businesses who loan finances at a higher interest rate. An exit scheme for paying this off as fast as possible is regarded as a consideration that can be examined before exchanging the money. After making a payment for a property, one should have fixer upper.
If one has done their homework, the expenses of repairs was actually figured before making a bid. The repairs of the customary are painted, carpet and the miscellaneous handyman type of work. If the property needs more expense repairs, one should be aware of these things from the beginning. As you are buying the house under the market value, there should be equity in property. As the number of investors starts fluctuating with the recent trends in the existing market of real estate, one can expect for paying anywhere from nearly 40% of the market value to 80%.

CSU football coach Steve Fairchild questions an official during the Rams? 24-23 win Sept. 12 over Weber State at Hughes Stadium.
- Filed Under
Bronco Mendenhall had a vision for the Brigham Young football program when he took over as coach five years ago.
The Cougars, he said, ought to be competing for conference titles and national rankings every year and maybe even for another national championship to match the one they won in 1984.
The Cougars went 6-6 in 2005, his first season, won Mountain West Conference titles the next two years and were a combined 32-4 the past three seasons, winning 10 games or more each year. This season, BYU climbed as high as No. 7 in the national rankings before falling last week at home to Florida State. ...

I like this bloke, he deserves a seat. However, pay driver or not, you don't get to F1 because you're poor. I'd rather see the 500K go to a worthy charity, instead of fluffing someones career feathers, nice bloke or not. I'm sure he could muster most of the required value from his families own coffers. If not he's got a good enough rep to go to another series. But if we're thinking about donating, how about taking a step back and donating to something that actually helps the disadvantaged, rather than helping someone whos had more than their fair share of money / fame etc already?

Little Things Make a Difference: Xacti HD1010 & 1000 Lenses
With its new Xacti HD1010, Sanyo is ready to battle to keep its leadership in the handycam camcorder segment. The HD1010 (which replaces the HD1000), thanks to a large number of accessories that allow an impressive degree of customization, has a real advantage over its direct competition, the Sony HDR-TG1.
I won't talk about bulkheads, external microphones, or the lights available on many accessories… No, today I'll focus on what I find most interesting about the Xacti HD1000, the optional lens!
There are three different lenses, here are the details:
- 0.7x Wide Angle Lens: On one hand we have a very beautiful image quality and low distortion/chromatic aberration. On the other, this lens is very prominent and consequently, its weight is a drawback. The view angle is also not as impressive as you would expect.
- 0.4x Fish-eye Lens: is the most interesting lens! In full format, videos are very stylish (a little skate style), and when zoomed, this time we get a real wide-angle! Visible distortions are clear, however, with color fringing on the edge of the image. The Xacti's sensor is also not perfectly centered on the lens.
- 1.6x TelePhoto Lens(coefficient 1.6x): we know how difficult it is to stabilize the image with this kind of HD camera, and we don't recognize the usefulness of this lens… apart from special effects when we don't use zoom…
Everything is a matter of feeling, and anyone can find pleasure… For me, it's the fish-eye lens that excites me the most. If the price was under 420€, I couldn't resist buying HD1010

Kennedy's roleApril 10, 2013 12:00 AM
Share with others:
Your editorial concerning the appointment of Caroline Kennedy as ambassador to Japan surprised me ("Sayonara: Caroline Kennedy Is Not Right for Tokyo Post" April 5).
I do not recall your paper writing an editorial questioning the qualifications of Dan Rooney to be ambassador to Ireland. Between the two of them, one would think that Ms. Kennedy is better qualified to be ambassador to Japan than Mr. Rooney was to Ireland.

R. Dirk Jellema was a professor in the English Department at Hope College for many years. He was also a contributing editor of The Reformed Journal, which was a periodical in print from 1951 to 1990 that published thoughtful Christian engagement with culture. Some of the articles will be republished later this year in The Best of "The Reformed Journal." Below is an article by Jellema on the way in which God leads his children.
"He Leadeth Me"
I guess I'm a Christian of little faith. Students come to me from time to time, flinty of eye, claiming that God has led them to this or that. One told me God had led him to believe that his Word was sufficient and it was up to me to convince him that the text in my literature course was worth reading. I chose the coward's way (not wishing to be pitted against God) and asked the youth why he needed his Physical Chemistry text.
Youth, of course, will be swerved. But lately I've heard from mature people whom I respect an easy access to God's leading that causes me to wonder. How do we know that it's God, not Satan, whose map we follow?
The first was one who had taken a job in a better area, closer to home, at higher pay, and among friends. "God led us here," he said, including his family. The second had wondered about leaving a job, decided that he'd leave it to the Lord: if he got a promotion, it would be God's way of telling him to stay; if not, he would leave. He got the promotion and stayed.
I like to ask God to lead me, too. I'd be happy if his wisdom would get around to recognizing the raise and promotion I could use. But the more serious I get about being led, the seamier the conditions into which he leads me. Unlike Gideon I've never thrown out a sheepskin, but an old 40% cashmere sweater did once follow the dewpoint exactly — and besides, the cats got at it. Signs ain't what they used to be in my neighborhood.
In his essay "Commencement Address," Milton Mayer warns his audience that while God works in mysterious ways, the devil is no fool: he comes at us in all the disguises of virtue. Mayer was, by my limited lights, accurate.
From what I can tell — and there's even a good deal of biblical evidence — the Lord seldom leads his children from a path of lesser advantage to one of greater, from a post of great sacrifice to one of great comfort. It's usually the other way around.
He doesn't ask us to be stupid, I think. Fools, clowns maybe, in his service; but not stupid. Those who are led to power and riches tend almost always to be absorbed in the system that perpetuates power and riches.
There should be something in the Beatitudes about those who get led up the ladder of success — that they should inherit the pollen, maybe. Or the whitewash concession.

Fortunately, I don't have to worry about those little tiny drills -- never bought one. I made a pair of pinholes the other day that differed by about .0003" (that's three tenths of a thousandth) as measured on my scanner at 2400 ppi, both perfectly round, using a sewing needle in a pin vise and a razor sharpening stone with a couple drops of 3-in-1 oil. Took about fifteen minutes each, including cleaning off the oil to scan for size a couple times along the way. It's NICE not to have to compensate exposure between two identical cams -- and now I can think about stereo images, too... ;)

Cohen's primary research interests are in perception, memory, and cognition of infants. In general his research has been examining how infants process and use visual and auditory information in their environment. Most studies involve some variation of a habituation paradigm which Dr. Cohen revised for use in infant research. In this paradigm infants' looking times are recorded while they are repeatedly exposed either to a single stimulus or to multiple stimuli and are then tested with familiar versus novel stimuli. Most of the stimuli are actual events generated through sophisticated computer animation techniques or videotaped and then presented to the infants. Some of the specific research questions being investigated by Dr. Cohen are 1. How do infants come to understand concepts and categories? 2. What principles govern infants' early language? 3. How do infants process causal relations and other visual events? 4. At what age do infants perceive both the form and function of objects with which they interact?

Fish, you need to cut out the vile and offensive jokes comparing Khloe to Chewbacca. Wookies have much nicer asses.
I don't know why women think the butt implants are good ideas. Just like massively fake breasts. All you are doing in squeezing salt water or silicone. I could go to home depot and get silicone caulking and inject it into a balloon and play with that just the same.

Baldwin Community Day offers new set of activities
The mayor and superintendent will take a splash in the dunk tank.
Famous princesses will greet passersby.
There's a new slate of activities planned for this year's Baldwin Borough Community Day. Organizers say they plan to bring the excitement and fun they experienced as children.
Youngsters will have the chance to play in one of the large bouncy houses, ride a pony, visit a petting zoo, have their picture snapped in a booth or play basketball in a 3-on-3 competition.
"We have something for every child, all day," said Carrie Radacsi, one of the event's organizers. "The day is totally, 100-percent geared toward the children."
Baldwin Community Day will kick off at 9 a.m. Saturday at the Baldwin municipal complex, 3344 Churchview Avenue, with registration for the Baldwin Mile run that takes place along Churchview Avenue. The day will conclude with fireworks by Pyrotecnico at 9:30 p.m.
New organizers are running Baldwin Community Day for the first time in more than 25 years in an effort to draw in larger crowds. The longtime organizers from the Baldwin Borough Community Day Association told council members this summer they were taking a one-year hiatus on organizing the event.
This year's event is being touted as "The New Baldwin Community Days." A Facebook page with that name had more than 500 likes on Tuesday.
Most of the Baldwin Community Day this year, is new, Radacsi said, including when it's held —instead of the historical first Saturday in June. The Baldwin Mile and fireworks are returning, but the parade and other events have been replaced with a purple-and-white balloon release to help start the day.
"I'm excited about the whole entire day," organizer Tracy Macek said.
There will be giveaways and free events.
"We want kids to go home with items," Radacsi said. "It's not about the parents spending $50. It's about the kids coming and having fun."
Baldwin Independent Fire Company No. 1 will host the borough's first "Battle of the Barrel" in more than 15 years, said fire company deputy chief Bill Connors. The tug-of-war, set up over a barrel, and with water hoses, will be held at 5 p.m. in front of the municipal building.
The fire company has invited a dozen area fire companies, Connors said.
For adults, the day will include bingo and a vendor and craft show.
Community and school district groups will have informational booths, game and food booths throughout the municipal complex. Baldwin Borough Mayor David Depretis and Baldwin-Whitehall School District Superintendent Randal Lutz will participate in a dunk tank.
"It's about bringing the community together and celebrating your community," Macek said. "This is going to be a perfect day to celebrate our community and celebrate how perfect Baldwin is."

Rachel Johnson
- Filed Under
Rachel Johnson likes a "boring" round filled with pars. But the Yorktown sophomore golfer used a different method Monday to shoot a 71 and finish second in the Trojan Classic at The Legends Golf Club, helping her team win the tournament that featured many of the top-ranked teams in the state.
Johnson's round included an early triple-bogey, followed by two birdies. Then there was a bogey followed by two more birdies. She had a double-bogey, then an eagle from 60 yards a few holes later. She birdied the fourth hole (her last of the day due to the shotgun format), to finish the round at 1-under-par. ...

Scott Witthoft
d.school d'Arbeloff Fellow 2008-2009 & Lecturer
Scott wears a number of hats. Those offering shade are mostly John B. Stetson, around 7-1/2 to 7-5/8. Those slightly less tactile include engineer, designer, and artist. As an alumnus of the Graduate Joint Program in Design at Stanford, Scott offers the d.school his perspectives and skills in cementing human-centered design as a fixtured paradigm in the business and design communities.
No stranger to cement in other contexts, Scott arrived in California and at the d.school by way of Austin, Texas where he lived for many years previously, working in the field of forensic structural engineering. As a licensed Professional Engineer, Scott worked throughout the United States, Canada, and the Caribbean investigating just about every type of possible failure in buildings, bridges, tanks, and tunnels. His love of that field derived from crawling through culverts, climbing to the tops of towers, and seeing things that no one else has seen in context, while synthesizing the findings from exploration into tangible new designs for repair. Scott also loved the opportunity to employ and develop new applications for nondestructive testing methods.
Prior to beginning his previous career in forensic engineering, Scott studied civil engineering at Washington University in St. Louis followed by graduate studies in structural engineering and materials at the University of Texas at Austin.
Scott's current interests include identifying and capturing craft within the burgeoning shift in the do-it-yourself design movement. He is also keenly interested in the physical and philosophical implications of the current direction toward localized manufacturing. On most days, while standing in lines, waiting for coffee, he is almost always thinking something ranging from guitars to concrete, from ukuleles to haiku. Feel free to pick a topic and go.

Brown's Volkswagen
(804) 379-7283
Auto Makes We Service
|Service & Repair
Customer Reviews (2 reviews)2 Sort by: Date | Helpful
I totally agree with all of the previous comments. I have taken my Touraeg there twice (brakes, plugs) and both times the prices were outrageous. For these plugs (can't remember the exact name), I took the car for a 2nd opinion and Brown's wanted to charge me $700 when the other shop charged me $300, then recently for front brakes they wanted to charge me $937....every time the service department is trying to take me to the cleaners.
All I have to say is, I am trading this car in today!!!
Car had dead battery when picked up. They blamed "weak battery," but on driving home we noticed that the headlights (always-on type) were NOT ON. Now we suspect Brown's either is looking for more work and broke something or just screwed up. We are suspicious, because they tried to run up the bill after diagnosing the problem we asked to be fixed. Some of the things they suggested are deferred maintenance items that could be legitimately done now or later, but other things were clearly "run up the bill" optionals that may never need to be done. Then when we picked up the car, rather than charging/jumping our battery, Browns wanted to sell us their $129 battery. Now an honest shop would have told us that we had an Advance Auto battery in the car with a recent date indicator, meaning we should try to get Advance Auto to replace the battery. But not Browns, they wanted that $129 and to heck with the customer. We insisted they jump the car. We drove straight to Advance Auto, and even though the batter tested only a little low, Advance replaced it for free under the warranty. (Even if we would have had to purchase a battery outright, the Advance price was only $79.) The only work we authorized Browns to do was replace crankshaft sensor, per their diagnosis of stalling problem. RepairPal's estimater showed we could have saved $, but we're not complaining about that -- as of yet. We certainly do not trust Brown's VW and will take our car to another shop to find out why headlights don't work, rather than risk another round of "run up the bill and break something else if customer won't agree to running up the bill." BOO HISS!!! (Anyone who wants to use a VW dealer instead of an outside shop should try Stohlman's in Northern Virginia. We never have seen this type of shady "run up the bill" behavior from Stohlman's VW.)
