Don't Believe the Hype – Look at the Facts on the Ground
I have done my fair share of traveling around the world, and one thing I have noticed about great cities is the use of wide and beautiful boulevards, pedestrian malls, and public spaces. Unfortunately though, while Downtown Miami would like to claim world class status, the public realm is far behind the reality on the ground.
Downtown Miami is currently awash in Heat mania, but no matter how many Lebron's, Bosh's, or Wade's Miami brings down, the reality is right there on the ground. Dangerous streets, few public spaces, autocentric design, missing crosswalks, yawning parking lots, and the list goes on. Unfortunately Miami likes to dwell in its own hype a bit too much.
Biscayne Boulevard, the front porch of Miami, is a giant parking lot. With speeding vehicles on 4 lane streets in each direction, an ocean of surface lots, and enough concrete to fill a river. With Flagler Street, what should be the equivalent to Lincoln Road on this side of Biscayne Bay, officials have been too shy to close the street and create a real attraction worthy of the beautiful South Florida weather. Instead, they have relegated it to a clogged and polluted street, not worthy of the historic character it's architecture and name carries. As Morris Lapidus, the brains behind Lincoln Road once said: "A car never bought anything" – and boy was he right.
In Brickell, the story is much the same. Brickell Avenue and its massive intersections are uncomfortable and dangerous, a far cry from the world class status officials always describe it as. It is quite ridiculous (and embarrassing) that crosswalks are 3 or 4 blocks apart and one has to see business professionals jaywalking and trudging through bushes along medians in the dense and urban Banking District of Miami. Luckily though, Brickell Avenue is getting a little love after much activism.
My travels have shown me that great cities are built from the public realm up – not by millionaire basketball players and the wealthy fans that visit them. It's amazing how much weight the city has given to the Miami Heat. One day these players will be gone, and what will we have? The same dangerous, ugly, and unwalkable streets we had before. Great cities are built to benefit the generations to come – not to dwell in the hype of the temporary present, but to look into the future.
In Barcelona, you have Las Ramblas, a spectacular pedestrian boulevard comparable to Biscayne Blvd or Brickell Ave in size. In Rome, the Coliseum was closed off to vehicular traffic and transformed into a magnificent public space many decades ago. The story is much the same throughout most of the great cities of Europe, Asia, and South America. From Istanbul to Tokyo or Columbia to Mexico, the facts are on the ground – beautiful and majestic public thoroughfares and spaces are important components of any world class city. Great cities create a great quality of life, and this attracts talented people, culture, arts, businesses, and tourists.
Even Miami Beach has shown greater sensibility to the positive impacts of pedestrianization (as I would like to call it). Lincoln Road is arguably one of the most successful pedestrian malls in the United States (sales per square foot). If this isn't a sign of what should happen in downtown Miami, I do not know what is. Ocean Drive as well is a spectacular mixture of architecture, humanity, and nature. A marvelous place to people watch.
Mexico City, a "third world" city, has shown an amazing ability to integrate wonderful public spaces, promenades, and pedestrians malls into the chaotic city of 25 million people.
Paseo de La Reforma, a street not unlike Biscayne Boulevard and Brickell Avenue in terms of density and traffic, boasts a wonderful promenade along the median covered with beautiful flowers and foliage. It also has something that most major cities have and downtown Miami lacks, many (and consistent) crosswalks.
Horacio Street in Mexico is another beautiful example, located in the densely populated neighborhood of Polanco. The street boasts a wide and beautiful median, with occasional fountains, parks, flower stands, and roundabouts. Amazingly, their are no traffic lights on Horacio Street and during my time here, I have felt perfectly safe. Why? Because the speed limit is no more than 15 miles an hour, creating a calm and pleasant environment along the entire street for both cars and pedestrians. In many ways Horacio is more than a street, rather, it is a long linear park covering more than three dozen blocks.
Even in the "Centro" of Mexico, which is the chaotic and historic downtown, officials have begun making improvements towards the pedestrian realm that other great cities have made. Francisco I Madero St, which leads into the Zocalo (the second largest public square in the world), is currently being converted into a pedestrian mall. Other neighborhoods throughout the city have also transformed various streets into pedestrian malls and today they are FULL of people enjoying the city.
If the City of Miami truly wants to make downtown Miami a destination, they need to get past the hype and the Miami Heat, and realize that great cities are created from great public spaces. And not just one for that matter, but rather, an integrated network of connected public spaces and thoroughfares.
They could easily start by converting the parking lots on Biscayne Blvd into a pedestrian promenade worthy of the location it has. Biscayne in downtown Miami as it stands now is a pedestrians worst nightmare. Missing crosswalks, massive streets with speeding cars, 8-10 blocks of concrete lots, and more. It truly is ridiculous when the entire (beatiful) waterfront of downtown Miami and its attractions are isolated from the city by 150+ feet of roadways and surface lots – one can count the crosswalks across the entire waterfront of downtown with one hand.
Parking could easily be replaced in one (yes one) parking garage (perhaps even underground). Street parking could also be used along the blocks, to buffer the traffic from the promenade, but also to make up some of the lost parking – thereby reducing the speed down Biscayne Blvd through design. Imagine a linear park and slower traffic complementing the beautiful skyscrapers, parks, and attractions already there. One could easily argue that this could become one the most beautiful places in the city.
In Brickell, the redesign of Brickell Avenue needs to take into account the drastic density increase over the last (and next) few years and create a more pleasant landscape for residents and tourists. One crosswalk every three or four blocks is absolutely ridiculous, so is the current speed limit, and massive intersections. Again, luckily (and after much activism) some of this is being taken into consideration during the current redesign of Brickell Avenue. Nevertheless, enough is not being done.
Another great improvement would be the transformation of historic Flagler Street into a pedestrian mall. With historic architecture, cheap rents, great public transportations, and a fabulous location, Flagler has the potential to become one of downtown's most popular attractions. I have often heard the argument that Flagler cannot be transformed because there are no alleys behind the buildings for the service trucks. This is true rubbish. Many pedestrian malls around the world allow service vehicles (and only service vehicles) to drive through at very slow speeds (5 mph). Just because the occasional service vehicle needs to come in, it does not mean we should relegate Flagler to ugly and undeserving conditions it faces today. Cross streets could also be used as staging ground for delivery trucks and such.
It is truly a shame that the City of Miami does not see the large tourist potential of downtown Miami. Miami has unbelievable weather that makes a well designed outdoor space a "hot" commodity. Miami Beach understood this many years ago, and now it is arguably one of the coolest urban environments in the Unites States.
The unbelievable development that occurred over the last few years is just the beginning of a transformation that will happen over the next few decades. With millions of tourists descending on Miami Beach every year, the City of Miami should take care to create the type of environment travelers have come to expect – it wouldn't be hard to pull some of those tourists to this side of the bay. In fact, some have already started crossing over, as is evident by the growing numbers of tourists on the streets of downtown and Brickell. Nevertheless, more must be done if we expect the to come back in greater numbers.
The private realm has done its part in the last few years to bring masses to downtown Miami, the city and the state nevertheless, have done very little to adjust the streets and public spaces that must accompany the massive redevelopment of the last few years.
The City of Miami must take ownership over Biscayne Blvd and Brickell Avenue, and force the Florida Department of Transportation to listen to the needs of residents, businesses owners, and city officials. I am tired of local and state officials "passing the buck". They must take Flagler Street and create an attraction from the most historic street in South Florida. Brickell Ave, Biscayne Blvd, and surrounding streets must accommodate and integrate with the urban setting they inhabit. The city must create a cohesive pedestrian environment throughout the entire downtown area and beyond. The current fractioned landscape is a far cry from what is needed.
I will not accept the argument that the City of Miami is a world class city when the facts on the ground say something very different. Don't believe the hype!

kevin says:
Adam, I agree 100% with everything you just said, and I applaud you for shining light on a problem that everyone avoids. The DDA and city government always focus on all the sold condos, and new residents, but nothing on the realities of life in Downtown. It's not safe to walk around, and no improvements have been done to make this a true city center.
I've always agreed that making Flagler Street pedestrian-only is what our city needs. Not only to respect our history and past, but to create a true public space for people, not for cars. As it stands now, Downtown, Brickell and Omni are just urban suburbs, built for the car.
The city and DDA need to lower parking requirements drastically, and start advocating to bring Tri-Rail to Downtown, lower speed limits, add bicycle lanes, add crosswalks, fix sidewalks, buy land for parks, etc. So much needs to be done, that isn't be done.
Thank Adam, and hopefully our government can begin to truly create the world class city our city can become.
B says:
I completely agree with you about Flagler Street, but I also think Brickell Ave. is a completely different animal. The difference is that Brickell Ave. has many office buildings (and condos) with parking garages that either face Brickell Ave or cannot be practically accessed without using Brickell Ave. (most of the other avenues you talked about do not seem to have this situation either). Given the state of public transportation in South Florida, most Brickell workers have little choice except to drive to work and park in these garages. the other world class cities you mention have effective public transit, but we don't!!!
While I agree Brickell Ave. needs more and safer pedestrian crossings (I'd prefer tunnels or elevated crossings), I don't think "pedestrianizing" the road would work. Perhaps S. Miami Ave., but not Brickell Ave.
Craig says:
B – I agree with you that Brickell obviously needs more and safer pedestrian crossing. Disagree that they should be elevated (people tend to not use them) or underground (too costly).
Totally agree with you on South Miami Avenue. There is a proposed S. Miami Streetscape project called Resolution No. 38/2010 called the 'South Miami Streetscape Design Plan'. Please e-mail Comissioner Sarnoff and urger him to move this plan forward. It would include new crosswalks, sidewalks, signage and a reconfiguration of the S. Miami/SE 12th street intersection.
Currently, there is hardly any crosswalk paint in on S. Miami fron 12th to 8th, the heart of the pedestrian area, and no crosswalk connecting both sides of Mary Brickell Village. I am not sure why getting basic things like crosswalk paint is such a monumental challenge, but either way, we need to galvanize support to move the project forward.
Adam Mizrahi says:
Brickell Avenue can have a nice balance. It doesnt need to be too pedestrian, but it needs more of a balance. Elevated guideways never work. Why would anybody go up and down a tiring overpass when they can cross at gorund level in 1/8 of the time. I wouldnt use them and you wouldnt either. Furthermore, the cost of putting an overpass at every intersection would be probitive, and if you dont, people wont use them. Manhattan shows us that we can have crosswalks at every intersection AND ground level crosswalks. There is a reason why you dont see them in used widely in Manhattan (or anywhere else for that manner) – they are a waste of time, money, energy, and they are UGLY!
People and cars can live together, they just need better balance. Tokyo shows us this, Manattant, etc. Just think of 5th Ave or Amsterdam Ave. You have tons of cars, but also very consistent red lights and crosswalks to allow pedestrians to cross.
This whole overpass thing is silly, IMHO, it is suggested by people who dont walk. Because if you walk regularly, and that is, multiple times a day, you are not going to be doing that every time you cross.
Katherine says:
Although beautifully written, I'm getting tired of the same old retoric.
What may have been true in the past does not always remain true. I have been following the City,County, DDA and FDOT projects in and around downtown for just over a year and have seen a marked change in their approach to streetscapes and pedestrian mobility.
Just recently these agencies have developed plans and/or studies for South Miami Avenue, Biscayne Boulevard and a Downtown Bicycle/Pedestrian Mobility Study that address exactly the issues raised in your article. Also, I've seen that positive civic engagement with them (i.e. FDOT on the Brickell Avenue) significantly improves their projects for the betterment of all users (i.e. lower speed limits, additional crosswalks AND improved pedestrian/vehicular mobility).
I suggest that transitmiami use your knowledge and influence to partner with these agencies and get more involved in the solutions to our public realm instead of just repeating the same tired retoric.
Felipe Azenha says:
Hi Katherine,
Have you considered that perhaps the "marked change" that you have witnessed by the City,County, DDA and FDOT may be due to the influence of Transit Miami?
Please let me assure you that we do not just sit behind our computers and vent. We do actively engage the City, County, DDA and FDOT. We are doing plenty of work behind the scenes; more then some may realize.
We still have a long road ahead of us, but we also see some positive changes.
Thanks for reading Transit Miami.
Craig says:
Exactly, Felipe! Left to their own devices, the FDOT project on Brickell Avenue was to be disastrous for pedestrians! Transit Miami was instrumental in calling for more pedestrian/safety elements to be added into that project. If anything, we need more people out there engaging others with this 'same old rhetoric'! It's the only way we're able to influence the heavy-handed FDOT projects that are taking over downtown!
Rod says:
FDOT is in the middle of redoing Biscayne Boulevard in Edgewater but is not putting in any new lights/crosswalks. Why is this happening? Are we going to have to wait for crosswalks till the next time they decide to redo the street in 20 years?
Adam Mizrahi says:
Some people write, some people are activists, some people build, some people complain. That is life.
B says:
Re. Overpass/underpass crossings: Many world-class cities I've visited in Asia DO use them, and quite sucessfully. They're not necessarily an eyesore, like anything, they can be designed artistically (as if asphalt painted with white and yellow lines is attractive…LOL). For example, google "Hong Kong Pedestrian Overpass." Some cities even use subway stations as pedestrian underpasses. The key is NOT having ground-level crossings, put hedges or fences in the median and "no pedestrian" signs, eliminating ALL potential conflicts between automobiles and pedestrians, and making the overpasses easy to access.
Overpasses also give views of the city that you otherwise couldn't enjoy, and you never feel rushed to cross by impatient drivers turning right or blinking red hands. Finally, YOU DON'T HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE LIGHT TO CHANGE:). Surely waiting for the light to change takes away any time advantage of the street-level cross walks. And after you wait for the light, crosswalks rarely give you enough time to cross without feeling rushed. Having spent many months living in several Asian cities and walking everywhere, I actually prefer overpasses to our obsession with (cheap) crosswalks. Overpasses are dedicated for pedestrians' use only, what pedestrian would not enjoy them?
TransitDave says:
Adam, Great article, especially the comments about Flagler Street, and it's interesting to note that there is only one small surface parking lot with an entrance on Flagler Street, (across the street from the courthouse) which means that it could be converted to a pedestrian only street with NO disruption to parking areas whatsoever. This is equally true for temporary weekend street closures such as Flagler Fest.
As a former Brickell area resident, I remember well the hazards of being a pedestrian in the area, and the powers that be need to treat Brickell Avenue and Biscayne Boulevards as what they are, NEIGHBORHOOD streets, not expressways. If they would just adopt that philospohy, and put out a few speed traps, cross walks and other improvements, that would go a long way in slowing the car traffic down, so the people and bike traffic could get around safely.
Craig says:
B – So where exactly would these overpasses go on Brickell avenue? To connect two privately owned office buildings? While increasing, Miami does not have nearly the density that many Asian cities do. To compare the two for a pedestrian issue is irrelevant.. Who would pay for these overpasses anyhow? I just don't understand what they will connect or who would use them.
Manhattan has exactly ONE pedestrian overpass I can think of. It connects two buildings of Hunter College, which makes sense. There are many underpasses in the form of subway stations, and train station (Penn, GC) access points. These make sense because people are already underground from taking rail.
Simply put, you can't reasonably expect someone to walk down/up stairs or take an elevator just to cross a street unless it's a major expressway or a very cold climate. (Minneapolis has many overpasses and tunnels)
Also realistically speaking, say there was an overpass somewhere along Brickell or Biscayne – what if you are 8 blocks from it? Waiting for the stoplight vs. waiting for an elevator to access the overpass? Seems like a wash. I'd rather wait for the stoplight.
Encouraging people to remain at street level is important for local business and promoting a vibrant neighborhood/streetscape. Read about the elevated train in downtown Detroit that has virtually removed all pedestrians from street/retail level. We need to encourage vibrant streets and removing people from street level does not do that. I bet more people would even ride the metrorail and especially metromover if it were built like a light-rail or street-car style at street level. It's a psychological barrier.
Brad Knoefler says:
I don't think it's the same rhetoric but the same lack of results on the ground that all of us who live Downtown have to experience every day. While I sure that the meeting and engagement strategy may influence long term planning with these agencies, we need real results now for the thousands of new Downtown residents.
One of the major problems is that in general our Government doesn't care about the needs of residents and taxpayers. Just look at the $75,000 the DDA spent on ugly planters when a permanent, pedestrian, friendly streetscape could have been installed. Not a single person or business owner was involved in the decision making process, even when they could have contributed valuable ideas and predicted the effect on the neighborhood. Why has the CRA spent more than $9 million in the past six months on the Museums, instead of fixing the sidewalks and improving connectivity?
There are dozens of small projects that can be implemented quickly and cheaply and have a major impact on our urban lives. The problem is when no one listens or even seems to care about residents' needs..
B says:
It's more a matter of pedestrian activity and design philosophy more than density. The Las Vegas Strip is obviously less dense than Brickell Ave., yet they use overpasses, and quite ornate ones as well. Despite the obvious disadvantages of crosswalks on major thoroughfares with heavy pedestrian activity (cars not yielding, waiting for the light, not enough time to cross, esp. for elderly/disabled, traffic disruption), some will always prefer them. It's just what you're familiar with…or, perhaps you'd really rather not have the road in question be a major thoroughfare at all (e.g., Brickell Ave.). Sidewalks and offsets of the buildings from the road are plenty wide enough to accomodate. At Financial District, connect to Metromover at platform-level. Finally, most overpasses do actually dump you on the sidewalk, still allowing for street level activity.
About spacing: Let's try every 2 streets so you're never more than 1 block from one? That's about 5-6 overpasses for upper brickell. Chump change compared with most other construction projects going on in the City.
Craig says:
I guess I just see it as defeatist mentality. It's surrendering the roadways to cars and treating anyone not in a car as somehow unworthy of being on or near the road. Like they have to be elevated and removed from the street because roads should be for cars only. That is a very anti-urbanist argument and one that is outdated for modern, urban landscapes.
That's not so say some would not make sense, like connecting transit hubs and stations with neighboring buildings. I get that. It's the same reason why Penn Station has below-ground access points 7 blocks from the actual station. But for someone just outside trying to cross a street, we need plentiful and safe intersections and crosswalks. It's just the reality of an urban landscape. I maintain that you can not reasonably expect people to use one just to cross a street if the overpass does not connect two areas that provide value to the pedestrian. (For exapmple, two offices or a condo building in which I neither work nor live in)
Overpasses should be a rare exception to a safe crosswalk, not the preferred alternative.
Mike Moskos says:
Well said Adam.
But, I think you have to realize that government always seems to be way behind the curve (perhaps simply because of the lengthy processes they've devised). The trend in Miami clearly seems to be towards dense urbanization, especially among the young. The only reason I can fathom to be socially isolated in a suburb/exburb is to have space to grow a big garden (and you don't see many in South Florida). I think your arguments would gain much traction if you could get in front of business groups or owners of buildings on those streets suited for pedestrian malls (like Flagler). What business owner doesn't want the traffic of a Lincoln Road outside their door?; what building owner doesn't want higher rents?
On a side note, many of the buildings on Brickell look like they were transplanted from an exburb office park with little adaption for pedestrian life. Watch how rapidly that changes when the first building owner remakes a ground floor and his/her building springs to life. Others will follow. Brickell will one day look like one continuous Mary Brickell village. And when there are thousands more pedestrians on the street, overflowing the sidewalks, government will suddenly fast-track improvements.
PS: Be sure to check out the urban chickens/roosters in the field across from the Brickell Metrorail station. Maybe one of the high-end chefs will turn the field into a free-range, organic, restaurant scrap-fed chicken egg farm. Better than an empty field.
Cody says:
I know the DDA is working on narrowing Biscayne Blvd and removing the parking for public space, which is really awesome, but how can we fast track this? How can we get Flagler Street to go pedestrian-only?
We need to get the local businesses on Flagler Street to get together and form a coalition for the change, by starting with the big local players- the Gusman Theater, La Epoca, Macy's, Alberto Cortes, and even some of the bigger restaurants. The owner of La Epoca is on the DDA board, he has tons of say of what gets done on Flagler Street.
We need change in Downtown, and I don't think it's happening fast enough. Downtown isn't as pedestrian and bicyclist friendly as it could be and I know the DDA and city are working to ameliorate this, but the change isn't coming. Where is it? Where are the public spaces, wider sidewalks, crosswalks, shade trees, bike lanes, etc? We need them now, not on the "Long-term transportation plan for 2030". Come on, we need this!
Dan says:
As someone who works in the County Courthouse with a north-facing view, I think a pedestrian mall on Flagler is step #2. Step #1 should be to eliminate NW 1st Ave and the parking lots by Metrorail from the courthouse north to the Metrorail bend and turn that area into a park. Miami doesn't have a true central park like other real cities (Central Park, Boston Common, Chicago's Millenium Park, etc).
Bayfront doesn't really count since you need to cross Biscayne, which as everyone above has noted, is a half step away from being an expressway.
Miamistax says:
A lot of streets have no need for pedestrian bridges or underpasses, but some would benefit from them. @Adam: a pedestrian overpass built with no attention to being integrated into its environment will often be ignored as you point out, especially on streets with low numbers of cars. There are opportunities to do them right. Look at the Brickell people mover station. It cries out for a pedestrian bridge to get over Brickell Avenue and connect directly to the station platform. The people mover station in the middle of Biscayne Blvd was supposed to have pedestrian bridges which never got built. The station gives you a reason to want to go up. Look at the Omni people mover station's pedestrian bridge from the platform straight into the building. Look at the bridge to Macy's restaurant. Before they uncovered and cleaned the glass, pleople didn't even know they were on a bridge.
Also, as far as pedestrians not wanting to walk vertically, many great cities like Chicago and Washington lift or drop their roads so the pedestrian stays on ground level and doesn't have to climb. Lakeshore Drive has a combination of pedestrian tunnels and car and truck overpasses and pedestrians use them in huge numbers, partially because as "B" correctly notes, they also block the unprotected locations from crossing.
Now, for examples of how not to do a pedestrian bridge. Look at the County building and Library/Museums across the street from each other. The County building sticks its second level walkway out of its building on the east side to drop down to its plaza with an escalator and stairs; and the library puts a bridge over the street on the west side with an elevator and stairs to the same plaza. Why didn't they put both in the same place so you could walk from the people mover straight to the library? Look at the pedestrian bridge to the Douglas Road Metrorail Station. The station side landing is nowhere near the station platform and the opposite side puts you on a walkway in the middle of the block; all of it 100 feet away from a traffic light with crosswalks.
And the number one place needing a pedestrian bridge downtown: The AAArena with its thousands of pedestrians and every police car in town lined up in Biscayne Blvd's median trying keep people from crossing every time there's a game.

Cultural Ascriptions Displayed by Restraining Order Court Representatives: Implicating Patriarchy and Cultural Dominance
Myers, Monique A., Collier, Mary Jane, Women's Studies in Communication
This qualitative study analyzes cultural ascriptions about women plaintiffs that emerged in interview responses from court representatives in the context of a Restraining Order courtroom in a Midwestern city. The judges, attorneys and court advocates' responses categorized women plaintiffs through individual and intersecting group ascriptions related to sex, race, ethnicity, and class. The cultural ascriptions displayed by court representatives implicate systems of patriarchy and cultural dominance at work in the Restraining Order Courtroom.
Violence against women is the most pervasive human rights abuse today (Johnson, 1998), and domestic violence has historically been a hidden social problem in the U.S. and throughout the world (Grana, 2002). The overwhelming majority of cases in the U.S. involve female survivors of domestic violence who are battered by intimate male partners (National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, 1997), and domestic violence is "recognized as the consequence of specific, gendered power relations that both discursively and nondiscursively situate women as 'other' and marginalized" (Mumby, 1997, p. 22). One part of a safety plan for a survivor of domestic violence is the legal option of filing for a Restraining Order against a perpetrator.
The Restraining Order (RO) courtroom is a legal institution in which women seek Temporary and Permanent Restraining Orders, legally binding documents barring a defendant from harassing, molesting, stalking, or contacting a plaintiff in any manner. Pursuing a Restraining Order can be a challenging as well as risk-taking activity for many women plaintiffs (Myers, 2002). It takes much courage for women to publicly communicate about their personal lives (Campbell, 1989) especially when women's and men's versions of accounts vastly differ (Houston & Kramarae, 1991).
The courtroom system is designed with the intention of protecting the appearance at least of fair procedures for all who seek justice ensured through particular roles such as judges and attorneys exercising their authority and higher status to interpret the law, enforce procedures, and represent plaintiffs and defendants. Judges and attorneys monitor, interrupt, or encourage testimony; sanction violations of courtroom norms; make public judgments about plaintiffs and defendants and their conduct; provide or limit access to resources; and ultimately decide or influence the outcome of the court hearing. Hence, courtroom representatives' views of women plaintiffs are critical to how they interact with, and make vital decisions about safety plans for women.
Higher status individuals in public settings may relate to others of lower status through the use of cultural ascriptions, oversimplified and overgeneralized group categorizations that reproduce patriarchy and cultural dominance (van Dijk, 1993). How the participants in the Restraining Order courtroom implicate patriarchy, exercise privilege, and reinforce dominant cultural ideologies in their discourse warrants attention from communication scholars. Research centralizing issues about women is crucial "to demonstrate how patriarchal power has been enacted and sustained in organizing contexts that marginalize women's interests" (Townsley, 2003, p. 620). Consequently, in this study we want to better understand and critique the ways in which courtroom representatives (judges, attorneys, and advocates) view cultural group identifications of women plaintiffs in the Restraining Order court context, and how patriarchy and ideologies of privilege are implicated in their discourse.
In order to engage feminist and critical perspectives relevant to this project, we examined the forms of the cultural group categorizations that emerged in interview discourse from several judges, attorneys, and advocates to identify and critique underlying dominant ideologies and patriarchy implicated via cultural ascriptions of women plaintiffs. …

This review is from: NZXT Phantom PHAN-001RD Red Steel / Plastic Enthusiast ATX Full Tower Computer Case
Pros: Plenty of space, obviously because it's a full tower. It looks really clean. A lot of extra screws provided with this case.
Cons: The hard drive bays all seem to be proprietary with (possibly) SeaGate HDD's, because we had to rig the drive bays to accept all three of my, Western Digital, HDD's, we ended up taking out of the bottom right fans because it wouldn't fit with the HDD's in. And the side 200MM fan slot appears to be an NZXT proprietary slot too because we bought another CoolerMaster 200MM fan to make up for the loss of the other side fan and it would not line up with their screw holes.
In all, many hours wasted transferring my computer to this case.

Dome Patrol
The Dome Patrol was the nickname of the New Orleans Saints football team's linebacker corps of the late 1980s and the early 1990s, led by linebackers coach Vic Fangio, the current defensive coordinator of the Chicago Bears. The Dome Patrol was rated by NFL Network as the #1 linebacker corps of all-time.[1] They formed the second level of what is considered by many to be the most formidable 3–4 defense in National Football League history.[2]
As a unit, all four players were on the Saints roster for seven seasons, from 1986-1992, combining for 18 Pro Bowls. All four linebackers were voted to the Pro Bowl in 1992, the only time this has ever happened in Pro Bowl history.
Its members were:
- OLB Rickey Jackson (#57) 1981-1993, 6 Pro Bowl Selections, all with Saints (1983, 1984, 1985, 1986, 1992, 1993) (New Orleans Saints Hall of Fame, Pro Football Hall of Fame)[3]
- MLB Sam Mills (#51) 1986-1994, 5 Pro Bowl Selections, 4 with Saints (1987, 1988, 1991, 1992, 1996)[4]
- MLB Vaughan Johnson (#53) 1986-1993, 4 Pro Bowl Selections, all with Saints (1989, 1990, 1991, 1992)[5]
- OLB Pat Swilling (#56) 1986-1992, 5 Pro Bowl Selections, 4 with Saints (1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993) (First Team All-Pro 1991, 1992)[6]
During the Dome Patrol's reign, the New Orleans Saints made four playoff appearances, including the franchise's first ever playoff appearance in 1987. The Saints also claimed one NFC West title. The Saints' defense led the league in least points surrendered and turnovers in 1991, and again in least points surrendered in 1992. The defense also boasted twenty-seven games giving up ten or fewer points, with five shutouts. The four linebackers made NFL history by collectively being named to the Pro Bowl in 1992.[7]
The "Dome Patrol" nickname was immortalized on a poster made in 1986, featuring all four players.[8][9]

In New Orleans, (Bum) Phillips ran his trademark schemes, and gave Jim Mora's "Dome Patrol" defense — regarded by many as the best 3-4 unit in NFL history — a head start when he selected Hall of Fame linebacker Rickey Jackson in 1981.

I am so happy to have found your site. At age 80 I am still trying to bake the perfect loaf. Your website provides the knowledge I didn't have. It's a wonderful site!
If you're lucky, your passion becomes your job or business. In founding Breadtopia, I consider myself to be extremely lucky. I virtually cut my teeth on sourdough French bread in San Francisco, California, where I was born. And for many years I have loved baking.
In 1994, I was fortunate to marry Denyce; we shared many of the same interests and passions. For the next decade, I was involved in several corporate endeavors and in 2004, Denyce, who is a freelance graphic designer and former operator of the Busy Bee Bakery, and I, a website developer, Internet marketer and avid baker, formed Rusch Advertising Design.
Along with taking on various freelance projects, we developed our personal projects with our major baby being our baking website and store—Breadtopia.com. At Breadtopia we're dedicated to ensuring that baking perfect bread has never been easier. If we can aid in the development of a baking community—composed of new, veteran and constantly developing enthusiasts—all passionate about creating great, homemade baked goods, then we will count ourselves successful.
The thing about Denyce and me is that we are a lot like the fine folks who visit Breadtopia. It's not just the fact that we love baking, but here in Fairfield, Iowa, we're into a range of community and family oriented experiences, including sports, meditation, wildlife, the arts and nature. Denyce is the mother of Galen, who is a professional freelance photographer and operator of a gourmet coffee equipment website. We are so happy that he, his multi-talented wife, Liza, and our terrific grandson, Gray, have recently moved to our town from Dover, NH. We are looking forward to more of their involvement in Breadtopia, since they like bread as well as coffee!
With Breadtopia we're looking forward to creating and developing a community of home-based bakers all enjoying the natural riches inherent in sharing baking recipes, stories and knowledge—an extended family of sorts.
How do we survive? We offer a lot of important information for free and baking supplies at often bargain prices. So please take some time to browse through our store and to contact us if you have any suggestions, can't find a baking item that you need or want to share a recipe or a humorous or interesting baking anecdote.
We hope you enjoy our site. Denyce and I are looking forward to getting to know you and serving you. If you're ever in Fairfield, please stop by our physical store at 907 W. Burlington Ave. We'd love to meet you in person.

I live in Maine and tend to keep my home between 55-60°F during the cold months. Will these lower temperatures require that I compensate for given dough proofing and rising times?
I'm glad to have found your website and appreciate that there are so many likeminded sourdough bread enthusiasts who are willing to share their experiences.
Thank you for your genuine passion to share something so vital and wonderful!
I'm putting together an order and will send it in soon.
Hi love your site and have learned so much about baking bread. Eric, I have a new bread maker and I have a tried and true recipe for a white loaf in it but would like to convert it to whole wheat with the same results. Any suggestions on how to do that? Thanks
Here in Poland we can buy great bread from the piekarnie (bakers) but Dominika and I want to bake our own, just for the sheer pleasure of doing so. An internet search led us to your wonderful site and we are so grateful for all the information which you have provided. We look forward to many happy hours perusing your site and trying out some of your recipes.
Since living in an RV the last 18mths it has take some adaptations. Here is my RV technique for the no-knead bread.
RV adaptation to sourdough no-knead bread.
The RV stove is 1/3 the size of a regular stove and it's a gas stove; unlike most North American household stoves. The circulation of heat is the biggest aspect to consider.
I've figured out the following adaptations to the Breadtopia method to work in the typical RV stove.
Do the final rise on parchment paper.
During the heat of the stove and the baking vessel (cloche, Dutch oven or whatever); omit the lid altogether. I actually use a 10″ cast iron pan instead.
Place loaf along with parchment paper into the bottom half of vessel and bake on the lower shelf setting (closest to heat) for 15mins or approximately half the baking time at 450F.
Then take loaf and vessel out, reset rack at the next level up away from the gas heat, reduce heat to 400F and replace bread in vessel to finish baking for the remaining 10-15 mins when the internal temperature of the bread is 200F.
Cool as usual.
Enjoy…..à la RV style…
Hi, Just in case you didnt know , you have reached Australia, love your videos
Cheers from "Down Under"
Hi Eric, Tomorrow I make some bread using your latest video instructions. I have been an avid follower of your news letters for a long time. I really feel like you and Denyce are personal friends. You took a trip to my beach a few years ago. Then you sent a couple of pictures taken by the ocean not more than six or eight blocks from me.
How I wish I'd known! Love your recipes and all the equipment in your store. Only one problem I now own so many things there is nothing I need! Thanks for all your hard work.
Betty PS: Gray is precious.
Hello Eric,
I cannot thank you enough for your videos. Have watched so many times and now just found Episode 1. GREAT!
I have a Bosch mixer. Would you suggest using the dough hook on the whole wheat sourdough bread recipe or is it best to
"hand knead?"
I just discovered your website and have ground my own flour and baked bread for over 50 years. My sourdough always turned out great, but since we have lived here in KY it doesn't turn out as well. Probably weather and sea level?
Hi Erik:
I've just returned from France, where I fell in love with their Pain au Sarrasin–Buckwheat Bread! What I found in the boulangeries was a peasant-bread-type, crusty-on-the-outside-with-lots-of-holes-on-the-inside, sour-dough-esque, wonderfully delicious bread–but now that I'm looking up recipes online (both in English and in French), the images I'm seeing just don't match up–probably because most folks turn to buckwheat for gluten-free recipes. Although I'd love to have a great GF buckwheat bread recipe for my sister (who can't tolerate gluten), for my selfish purposes I'd adore having a full-gluten, no-knead recipe that capitalizes on buckwheat for great flavor! I am familiar with your spelt bread recipe, which I like very much, but can you tell me how you would do a buckwheat sour dough no-knead? What proportion of buckwheat can I incorporate? Do I have to add gluten? Do you suggest mixing with white unbleached bread flour, or with some whole wheat, or with some spelt? Which combos of flours would provide enough gluten for a super-great buckwheat bread? Thanks again so much–you and your website have been such a great help for my bread-baking!

where do you get your plastic bags that you proof your bread in? Also do you know where I can get food grade plastic bags that a cookie sheet would fit in.
THANKS – love the Sour Dough demo's – been baking for a few years, seems my sour dough starter (from you) has lost its sour. DO I start over or is there a way to get it sour again.
Hi, Eric,
I've watched many of the wonderful videos on your website and you've always reminded me of someone, but I couldn't figure out who. I just finished watching an old film with Michael Wilding and realized that I had the answer. You bear a striking resemblance to him. Any chance you're related?
Love the Uuni 2 oven. We discovered it through a friend who was making pizzas at a beach party. That's right! Pizzas on the beach in northern California in February.
We've been using ours for several months for both regular pizzas and gluten-free crusts. Practice definitely is important to get your techniques down! We find cooking the crust on one side first before removing it from the oven and adding the ingredients for the final bake works the best. For gluten-free…which is very tricky….cook the crust in a regular oven first to firm it up and dry the dough which tends to be very wet/soft. Next, bake on one side in the Uuni. Remove and then add sauce and toppings. We love the smoky flavor that comes from baking in the wood pellet oven! Thanks! What a fun discovery. We'll be taking it camping later this summer. MR
Where can I find a Breadtopia coupon. I just recently discovered your website and love your products.
I'm a beginner, and I don't have a nifty proofing bowl. You showed flouring a towel, but
how does the towel differ in the end? Will it be in a ball shape like using the bowl. Will I
just turn it upside down?
Some further instructions would be appreciated. Thanks for your site!
After several weeks using the fridge method for the No-knead dough mixture, the dough became soupy and though attempts were made to recover it by kneading and reproofing there wasn't any success excepting pancakes. The starter should have been viable as it was fed the previous day and placed in the refrigerator. One site mentioned that the fridge temperature may have been too cold. Any input is appreciated. And thank you for this great site.
Great web site
I was looking at your whole grain prices and wondered if you sell oats and barley or know where I can find them?
Robert Hall
I've visited your site many times. Have gotten a lot of great info. I'm not sure but I THINK I bought my La Cloche oblong baker from you. I hope to be able to support your business by purchasing more stuff.
I've been baking bread for about 45 years. I started with the Tassajara Bread Book. Remember that? My kids grew up being the envy of all their friends because they got home made bread. When the kids were young, it wasn't unusual to have a half dozen neighbor kids hanging out on baking day, waiting for the loaves to come out of the oven.
I've moved a bit beyond Tassajara. I've learned a little about the science of bread. In all these years, I never tried wild yeast (sourdough) bread ===until this past week.
I watched your videos ==so clear and easy to understand . I took a look at my Peter Reinhart book. He does like to make a production of things. Then I followed your steps. SUCCESS FIRST TIME!! Made some bread. My wife and I ate the loaf in two days.
Eric, it's your fault if I get fat.
I'm afraid I'll have to limit myself to baking bread once a week. Or start giving loaves to friends and neighbors.
I really like your site. Glad to officially become e meber of your community.

P.S. My wife teaches canning and preserving. You might enjoy visiting her website:
What's the difference between the Le Cloche Clay Baker and the Bread Dome? They seem similar in purpose, but they're both made by Sassafras. Do the sides of the Bread Dome give no knead bread a better shape?
do i need to flour my bread pans after greasing? Love your site.
Love your site.
What is your return policy
Eric, have you pasted a recipe/method for no knead baguettes?
I love baking bread but the two of us can't eat a whole loaf before it dries out…have not frozen any of my bread to date…but thought baguettes might be a solution ….smaller ….easier to use up?
Carol in landaff
A bread baking newbie here.
How can I bring a more savory sour dough flavor back into my dough.
Do you have recipe for marbled rye?
Hi, I got sourdough kit and starter, everything perfect. The is time to make some bread! I liked the idea for spelt bread. I can't open the video for any recipe. Please advise and may I have a written one.
Best regard Eujenia
I am excited to be in your mailing list! Thanks!
Hi Eric,
I am on my third day of building a sourdough start from yours that you mailed to me, and man, is it going gangbusters. Now, I understand that the sourness of sourdough is the result of bacterial action rather than the biology of the yeast in the starter. If so, how long after initiating the start can I expect that sourness to really occur in my bread making?
Love reading your recipes and will be trying sourdough for first time. Have been baking bread for over fifty years.
I have a question. The Sicilian bread recipe calls for durum flour, which is impossible to find… even in the 4th largest city in the US. Would it be possible to run semolina flour through a grain mill to get the finer grind of durum flour? …. or is that a silly idea? Semolina is pretty easy to find.
Please add me to your blog-

Respond to Review of Bob's Juice Bar
by Chinoiseries
Review: This small juice bar made my day with a spicy green cocktail. There's a green smoothie and a daily mix juice as well. I had the vegan Pad Thai salad, which was very tasty. The lentil soup (vegan) and the futomaki roll looked appetising too. My boyfriend had the sandwich (avocado, red pesto, arugula and tomato). The green tea & chocolate cookie and apple & strawberry muffin were a lovely way to finish the meal. Fresh ginger tea, bread and water were free :-)

Abel Ferrara (born July 19, 1951) is an American film screenwriter and director. He is best known as an independent filmmaker of such films as The Driller Killer (1979), Ms. 45 (1981), King of New York (1990), Bad Lieutenant (1992) and The Funeral (1996).
Early life[edit]
Ferrara was born in the Bronx of Italian and Irish descent.[4] He was raised Catholic, which had a later effect on much of his work.[5] At 15 he moved to Peekskill in Westchester, New York. He attended the film conservatory at SUNY Purchase, where he directed several movies, which are all available on "The Short Films of Abel Ferrara" collection. Soon finding himself out of work, he directed a pornographic film titled "9 Lives of a Wet Pussy Cat" in 1976,[6] which starred his then-girlfriend. Interviewed by The Guardian in 2010, he recalled having to step in front of the camera for one scene to perform in a hardcore sex scene: "It's bad enough paying a guy $200 to fuck your girlfriend, then he can't get it up."[7]
Early career[edit]
Ferrara first drew a cult audience with his grindhouse movie The Driller Killer (1979), an urban slasher in the mold of Taxi Driver (1976), about an artist (played by Ferrara himself under the alias Jimmy Laine) who goes on a killing spree with a drill in hand. He followed it with Ms. 45 (1981), a "rape revenge" film starring Zoë Tamerlis, who later scripted Bad Lieutenant. Ferrara was next hired to direct Fear City (1984), starring Tom Berenger, Melanie Griffith, Billy Dee Williams, Rae Dawn Chong and María Conchita Alonso. True to form, it depicted a seedy Times Square strip club, where a "kung fu slasher" stalks and murders the girls after work. Berenger portrayed a disgraced boxer who has to use his fighting skills to defeat the killer.
Ferrara then worked on two Michael Mann-produced television series, directing the two-hour pilot for Crime Story (aired 18 September 1986), starring Dennis Farina, along with two episodes of the series Miami Vice: "The Home Invaders" (aired 15 March 1985, in season 1) and "The Dutch Oven" (aired 25 October 1985, in season 2).
Following his television work, Ferrara directed several feature films: China Girl (1987), a modern retelling of West Side Story as a gang war between the Chinese tong and the Italian Mafia; the made-for-television vigilante action thriller The Gladiator (1987) with Nancy Allen; and Cat Chaser (1989), starring Peter Weller.
Next, Ferrara created one of his most well-known films, King of New York (1990), starring Christopher Walken as gangster Frank White, who runs a group of black drug dealers, including one played by Laurence Fishburne. The cast included Wesley Snipes and David Caruso. As with most of Ferrara's films, the screenplay was written by Nicholas St. John.
Ferrara next directed Harvey Keitel in an acclaimed performance as the titular Bad Lieutenant (1992). Keitel plays a foul-mouthed, sex-addicted drug-using cop who wrestles with guilt and eventually seeks redemption in a Catholic church. The script was co-written by Ms. 45 star Zoë Tamerlis. Both Ferrara and Keitel were nominated for Spirit Awards and, despite its controversial content, the film was lauded by critics. Director Martin Scorsese also named it one of his top 10 films of the 1990s.[8]
Ferrara was then hired for two Hollywood studio films: a second remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers, titled Body Snatchers (1993), for Warner Bros.; and Dangerous Game (1993), starring Keitel and Madonna, for MGM.
In the mid-1990s Ferrara returned to independent filmmaking, directing two well-received movies: The Addiction (1995)[9] and The Funeral (1996).[10] The Addiction, photographed in black-and-white, starred Lili Taylor as a New York University philosophy student who succumbs to a vampire as she studies the problem of evil and philosophical pedagogy, represented by the most violent events of the 20th century. The film also features Christopher Walken, Annabella Sciorra, Edie Falco, Paul Calderon, Kathryn Erbe and Michael Imperioli. It was also co-produced by Russell Simmons. The Funeral starred Christopher Walken, Chris Penn, Isabella Rossellini, Benicio del Toro, Vincent Gallo and others.
In 1996 he directed a music video for French singer Mylène Farmer's song California.
Later career[edit]
After making The Blackout (1997) with Matthew Modine and Dennis Hopper, he contributed to the omnibus HBO–television movie Subway Stories. Ferrara then made New Rose Hotel (1998), which reunited him with Christopher Walken.
Ferrara returned three years later with 'R Xmas (2001), which starred Drea de Matteo and Ice-T. After recording two commentaries for Driller Killer and King of New York, he made Mary (2005), the religious-themed film starring Forest Whitaker, Marion Cotillard, Juliette Binoche, Heather Graham, Stefania Rocca and Matthew Modine. The multi-plot film concerns an actress (Binoche) who stars in a Passion of the Christ-like movie about Jesus, where she plays Mary Magdalene, with whom she subsequently becomes obsessed. Matthew Modine portrays the director of the film, who bears striking similarities to Mel Gibson. Mary premiered at the Venice Film Festival in 2005. It swept the awards ceremony, garnering the Grand Jury Prize, SIGNIS Award and two others. It was also seen at the Toronto Film Festival.[11] In 2007, he directed a comedy with Modine, Bob Hoskins and Willem Dafoe, Go Go Tales. It premiered at the Cannes Film Festival and was either highly acclaimed or vehemently disliked. Ferrara began preparations for Jekyll and Hyde in 2009, which was to star Forest Whitaker and 50 Cent. After disagreements with Warner Bros. the film was indefinitely shelved in 2010.
A Ferrara film, the docudrama called Napoli Napoli Napoli, is scheduled to premiere at the Rome Film Festival. Ferrara plays a small role as a mugger in the independent film Daddy Longlegs (2010). Also in 2010, Ferrara teamed up with Film Annex, an online film distribution platform and Web Television Network, to launch www.abelferrara.com. In a press release about the new web channel, Ferrara said, "We have been looking for a place, a home to express what we are doing and to avoid the misinformation found when we are not active on a website. With Francesco Rulli, the Founder of Film Annex, we hope to create a distribution platform for the work, both past and present, while actively interacting with our audience, collaborators and other filmmakers."[12]
In April 2011, Ferrara began shooting his first feature in four years, 4:44 - Last Day on Earth, starring Willem Dafoe and Ferrara's longtime companion Shanyn Leigh. This is Dafoe's third collaboration with Ferrara after 1998's New Rose Hotel and his last feature film, 2007's Go Go Tales. The film was shot in one location, an apartment, set during the course of the last 24 hours before the biblical apocalypse. Ferrara's longtime cinematographer Ken Kelsch shot the film. 4:44 - Last Day on Earth competed at the 68th Venice International Film Festival in September 2011 and released in theatres in March 2012.[13] In April 2013, Ferrara began shooting a fictionalized version of the Dominique Strauss-Kahn sexual assault case titled Welcome to New York. It stars Gérard Depardieu in the role of Dominique Strauss-Kahn and Jacqueline Bisset as Anne Sinclair.[14] It was released on May 17th, 2014 on VOD because the film failed to be picked up for theatrical distribution.[15]
He recently finished shooting a biographical film titled Pasolini about the acclaimed Italian director, poet, journalist and intellectual who was murdered in 1975. The film stars Willem Dafoe in the title role.[16]
It has been confirmed that Ferrara and Dafoe will collaborate for a fifth time in a film inspired by Carl Jung's The Red Book. The script has been written by Ferrara and Chris Zois and will be titled Siberia.[17][18]
Personal life[edit]
Ferrara currently lives in Rome, Italy. Originally raised as a Roman Catholic, Ferrara has converted to Buddhism. Ferrara is also the father of a girl with a Russian woman he identified only as Christina.[19][20] Ferrara also implied in a 2012 interview that he has other children of his own who lived with him and have seen his films. In that same interview he also discussed his alcoholism and drug addiction.[21]
Ferrara was married to Nancy Ferrara.[1] He has also dated Shanyn Leigh.[3] Ferrara is now married to Christina.[2]
Ferrara has admitted that Pier Paolo Pasolini has served as influence in becoming a filmmaker.[22] He also credited Stanley Kubrick and Woody Allen as influences,[23] as well as Rainer Werner Fassbinder.[24]

February 10, 2016
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) -- Senior monks from South Korea's largest Buddhist sect have offered to resign after the release of photos purportedly showing fellow monks gambling illegally.
South Korean television has aired photos of eight monks huddled for a poker game at a hotel in the country's southwest. The photos reportedly came from video footage secretly taken by another monk from the same sect and released to the media.
The Jogye Order says six senior monks offered to resign Thursday over the scandal.
South Koreans are not allowed to gamble anywhere in the country except at a single casino in the northeast.
Buddhism is the oldest major religion in South Korea. The government estimated in 2005 that Buddhists made up about 23 percent of the population.
