CLEVELAND -- Fourth District Cleveland Police Sgt. Dean Graziolli, a 22-year veteran of the force, has been indicted for stealing from the public by claiming to be at work when he was not, Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Timothy J. McGinty announced.
A Cuyahoga County Grand Jury indicted Graziolli, 47, of Cleveland, on eight counts of tampering with records, one count of theft in office, one count of theft and one misdemeanor count of dereliction of duty.
The indictment focuses on eight days between Oct. 14 and Nov. 1, 2012, when Graziolli claimed on his pay records to have been working in the Fourth District.
Cell phone records show he was not in the Fourth District for much of the day. Video from a local television reporter and pictures taken by a neighbor of Graziolli's confirm that he was not at his assigned post on the days in question.
Graziolli was afforded a pre-disciplinary hearing before Director of Public Safety Michael McGrath. Graziolli waived his right to the hearing and was immediately suspended without pay pending adjudication of the criminal proceedings.
"It is sad and disappointing that a police officer would violate the public trust and compromise the safety of the community because of his own intentional incompetence," said Assistant County Prosecutor James A. Gutierrez of the Economic Crime Unit in the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor's Office.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Elizabeth27 Thank You I travel often for business and always have a good experience when I stay in a Westin. This trip was no exception. I want to particularly thank you for the attention paid to my request to have no feathers or down in the room. When I arrived (eavly) I was told my room was not ready since they were making sure all feathers and down were removed from the room. What a treat not to have to remind a hotel of that request and also not to wake the next morning to find down encased in sheets. I had a lovely stay at your hotel and I will definitely be back. Thank you. February 2, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by JH13 Staff is friedly and professional. The staff went above and beyond my expectations to make sure my stay was outstanding. I will certainly stay at the Westin Poinsett every time I come to Greenville, SC. January 21, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Beachbunny Always a pleasure Another nice visit at the Westin Poinsett in Greenville. Always welcoming, pleasant, friendly and professional staff. Lovely facilty, well kept and in the best location in town. I would reccomend this hotel to anyone wanting a excellent get away weekend or few days. January 21, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by APeters284 Probably my tenth stay here and it's lost it's luster My wife and I have always enjoyed this beautiful hotel but lately we have noticed a decline. When arriving recently, we waited 15 minutes for a valet and we eventually had to track them down. No apology. We got to our room and found no shampoo nor conditioner. One of the bed pillows had a brown stain on it that looked dirty. There were two large weddings apparently and everything was understaffed, especially the front desk. This is a great hotel, but with the newer competition in downtown Greenville, it needs some attention. I doubt we will stay here next time. January 14, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sassy56 Well located, historic hotel. This hotel was first reopened about 13 years ago and we first stayed at this hotel within a few months of opening. We have traveled to Greenville many times and this is our top pick due to location, comfort, full service hotel with a great lobby bar with piano music, and convenient to all of the shops and restaurants in Greenville's historic district. January 10, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by OHFurmanFamily This stay worse than others We really like the Westin Poinsett but this room was probably the worst I have been given after several stays. We have been assigned smaller rooms so that was not a surprise, but this was small and there was a stain on the carpet in the middle of the room and the lock was tricky to engage making my wife concerned that it was not working properly. I could've requested a change but being rushed for time and for a one night stay, it didn't seem worth it. Fact is, the door lock should work and the carpet should have been replaced already. January 7, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Db7078 Exceptional service, Friendly & Professional Our stay for a family wedding weekend was great from start to finish. This was due in a big way to the courtesy and friendliness of the staff at all levels. They all truly made sure we were taken care of at every level. The facilities are beautiful and well maintained. January 7, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Nursedew Experience This place is the bomb and each employee goes out of their way to help make this such a good experience. The room was great, there was a leak under the sink in the bathroom that we forgot to report but otherwise room was well equipped and plush. Would recommend room 801 for the view and privacy. Hope to be back next year to same room. January 3, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by GarryJ Great staff, Nice Package We used the Indulge Package for a New Year's Eve stay. Great amenities, including chocolate-covered strawberries, and fresh fruit tray in room and a spectacular New Year's Day Brunch. Everyone on the staff of the hotel and restaurant was very cheerful, friendly and helpful. January 3, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Firefly123 Great Last Minute New Years Plans! My husband and I waited so long before making NY plans, so I had no expectations when I booked our stay at the Westin Poinsett in Greenville, SC. To my surprise, we were treated like royalty, and the indulge package we paid for was even better than expected. January 3, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jdbrag Wonderful stay Beautiful view of downtown. Very comfortable bed. Outstanding brunch. Fantastic location. Friendly staff. In love with this hotel!! January 3, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by catden A local romantic getaway The hotel was great. We went there for our 10 year anniversary. We live an hour away and it was great to go somewhere for 1 night. The restaurants are within walking distance. I liked having 3 bags of coffee included with the in-room coffeemaker. I disliked the way the exit to the parking garage was set up. The front desk warned us that it there may be a "glitch" when trying to exit the garage and how to get around the "glitch". The glitch happened but it still required us to get assistance on the intercom to exit the garage. If the desk has to explain a glitch then fix it. It doesn't match a upscale hotel. January 1, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by wabbit would stay here again this is our 2nd family stay at the Westin. The rooms were great, the amenities were wonderful, a great location as we can walk to shops and restaurants and the staff is very friendly. December 30, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by SIanna A Night Away The Weston Pointesette is one of our favorite getaways! It never fails to meet our expectations! It is within walking distance of all our favorite resteraunts & attractions. And, we love the brunch buffet wether it be a Sat. Or a Sun. We enjoy it before we head out for a walk at the river or shopping on Main Street. Thank you again for a pleasant get-away! December 30, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Geoff1 Anniversarystay My wife and I stayed at the Westin Poinsett for our 25th anniversary. The hotel has modern updates but they retained much of the original architecture and beautiful tile flooring. Our junior suite was spacious and comfortable. The front desk delivered chocolate strawberries to the room at no charge. We love that they kept the original windows in guest rooms actually open, with a great view of downtown Greenville. The dining room has original decorative metal ceiling with georgous chandeliers and floor tile. Breakfast was excellent. We will definitely stay here again. December 29, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by LakeSC Excellent staff and service The suite was nice, roomy and clean but the heating units never quit running and were either too cold or too hot - maybe something wrong with thermostats? Sink in bathroom leaked. Food was excellent and staff/service superb; particularly the bartender who was on duty during our stay. December 27, 2012

Rated 5 out of 5 by SharynB Girls Weekend This historic hotel was the perfect place to stay for our visit to Greenville. The beds are very comfortable and the double-head showerheads are THE BEST! December 11, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by jandwr Bring your own clock Moved the clock and disconnected it. Could not figure out how to reset the time. GIve us a simple clock, please. December 9, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Bob2511 Top Shelf Hotel My wife and I stayed at the Westin in Greenville. The hotel is lovely and the service was excellent. The front desk staff were accommodating and very friendly. The Valet attendants courteous, and also friendly and helpful. We were in town for a concert and the Hotel was most gracious in assisting us with shuttle transport to the concert, since I am on disability. We enjoyed dining in the restaurant, and the food was delicious. We definitely plan on staying at the Westin Poinsett on our next visit to Greenville. December 7, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mannie Southern Charm This hotel has the charm and grace that epitomizes Greenville. The restaurant, lounge, and the overall ambiance was much appreciated. The staff was also 4 star. Thank you so much for a wonderful venue for the start of our Christmas season. December 7, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by cjnc1995 Very nice! First time at the Westin Poinsett and it will not be the last. The room was perfect and the staff was very accommodating. December 5, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by gator18 Wow Great staff. Wonderful bed. Clean will stay many time in the future. Staff goes over and above. Best place in Greenville December 4, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by SEU911 Great location Easy parking, very nice staff November 29, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by NCFoodie Excellent Stay For Greenville First, Starwood did an excellent job of renovating and maintaining this Greenville historic landmark,the old Poinsett hotel. This was our second stay here as we visit Greenville quarterly and the level of service from staff was consistent. The hotel is conveniently located near many of the downtown attractions/bars/park/restaurants, either by car or on foot. The workout facilities are great as well. If you're accustomed to 4-star or better accommodations, The Poinsett doesn't disappoint, you can't go wrong with this property. November 28, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Ducks49 Great Service Amy at Front Desk! Great Job in her Smile and in the way she greeted every customer! November 23, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Bob60 Location and staff tops The Poinsett is our home for 2-3 weekends a year. Location just keeps getting better as city grows and entertainment/restaurants abound, and the staff is simply superb at all levels. Main Street rooms get a bit loud and our most recent Heavenly Bed seemed to have lost its wings in the trenches. But for a warm, courteous, helping, at-home feeling, the Westin Poinsett is as good as they get. November 21, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by mrwaldo Your staff Your staff was excellent. November 19, 2012

"The outstanding political film of the 2016 presidential season is about the 2013 New York City mayoral race. Like many of the best documentaries, it brings you so close to people in their unguarded moments that you marvel at the trust, or complicity, that grew between the filmmakers and their subjects. Unlike most, it shows some of these people wondering how the film has even come to exist—an inescapable question, given that the intrusion into its chosen candidate's life is extreme, and the candidate's urge to self-broadcast has led to his extremity. "Shit. This is the worst: doing a documentary on my scandal," mutters Anthony Weiner—seven-time US congressman, two-time New York mayoral candidate, and twice-exposed enthusiast of cell-phone flirtation—as seen at the beginning of Weiner. At the conclusion, after this second mayoral bid has ended in humiliation, an off-camera Josh Kriegman (who codirected with Elyse Steinberg) rounds out the theme by asking the obvious: "Why have you let me film this?"
~ Stuart Klawans Measures Weiner
"This very crowded, reasonably enjoyable installment in the Avengers cycle reveals, even more than its predecessors, an essential truth about the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It's not so much a grand science-fiction saga, or even a series of action-adventure movies, as a very expensive, perpetually renewed workplace sitcom. New characters are added as the seasons wear on. Cast members are replaced. The thing gets a little baroque and tests the boundaries of coherence, but we keep showing up because it can be pleasant, in a no-pressure, low-key kind of way, to hang out with these people as they banter and squabble and get the job done. Sometimes you want to go where everybody knows both your street name and your nom de cape. (And yes, thank you, I'm perfectly aware that these Marvel superheroes don't wear capes.)"

Traumatic Brain Injury
What it is?
Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs) are treatable and some can be prevented by following safety guidelines of wearing helmets, seatbelts and obeying speed limits when operating a motor vehicle. The Army will raise awareness and educate leaders, Soldiers and family members and civilians on the signs, symptoms, prevention and resources available to diagnose and treat TBI.
TBI is a disruption of function in the brain that results from either a blow or jolt to the head or a penetrating head injury. The severity of TBI can range from "mild" commonly know as a concussion, to severe and an extended period of unconsciousness or amnesia after the injury. The majority of personnel who sustain a concussion can expect a full recovery with no lasting mental or physical effects.
What the Army has done?
The Army has increased TBI training for combat medics in theater and for all physicians, nurse case managers and specialist in the neurosciences. The Military Acute Concussion Evaluation (MACE) is a screening tool available in theater to assist in diagnosing mild TBI. The Army also in coordination with the Defense Center of Excellence (DCoE) for Psychological Health and Traumatic Brain Injury and the Department of Veterans Affairs continues to expand resources dedicated to TBI research and treatment. The DCoE Outreach Center serves as the open door for Soldiers, veterans and family members needing support or assistance with TBI and is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week at 1(866) 966-1020, or by e-mail to DCoE Outreach Center.
What does the Army have planned for the future?
The Army recognizes that TBI is a serious concern and will continue to dedicate resources to research, diagnose, treat and prevent mild, moderate and severe TBI.
Why is TBI education and prevention important to the Army?
The prevention and mitigation of potential mild TBI is a command and leadership issue. Commanders and leaders are responsible for the health and welfare of Soldiers, family members and their civilian staffs. The Army wants everyone-leaders, Soldiers, family members and civilians to know that there is no stigma associated for persons who seek a diagnosis or treatment for TBI. Whether in a combat or non-combat environment-reporting a TBI and getting prompt medical care is an act of strength and courage and the key to recovery.

Clint Patrick Black is a CountryMusic artist who began as part of the "Class of '89," a batch of highly successful artists from that very year which also introduced Music/AlanJackson, Music/GarthBrooks and several others. This new wave of artists helped reintroduce ThreeChordsAndTheTruth to the genre. Interestingly, he was managed by ZZTop's producer, Bill Ham.
Black made waves in 1989 with his debut single "A Better Man", which made him the first male country artist in 15 years to send a debut single to number one. The next three singles from his debut album ''Killin' Time'' also went the distance, and he only missed the top 10 once between then and late 1998. Although his commercial success dwindled in the 2000s, leading to a departure from Creator/RCARecords, he has continued to record. Between 2004 and 2008, he owned the Equity Music Group label, which released albums by him, Music/LittleBigTown, Carolina Rain, Laura Bryna, Kevin Fowler, and Carolyn Dawn Johnson.
Black also has a few acting roles to his credit, and he has been married to actress/singer Lisa Hartman since 1991. She sang backing vocals on his last #1 hit, "When I Said I Do".
!!Tropes present in Black's work:
* AdvertisedExtra: Lisa Hartman Black got chart credit on "When I Said I Do" entirely for singing a backing vocal.
* ChristmasSongs: ''Looking for Christmas'' in 1995 produced chart entries in "'Til Santa's Gone" and "The Kid". The former continued to re-chart every Christmas until 2000, when ''Billboard'' changed the country charts to disallow re-entries of Christmas songs. The album was re-issued in 2004 via Equity with two new tracks.
* DrowningMySorrows: "Killin' Time".
* EpicInstrumentalOpener: The 48-second harmonica solo that launches "State of Mind".
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: "You're the only lock that's made to fit my key" in "Straight from the Factory".
* HappyRain: "Like the Rain", in which he says that he never liked the rain until he walked through it with his lover, and now he's "falling for [her] just like the rain".
* LeavingFoodForSanta: "'Til Santa's Gone (I Just Can't Wait)". Hint: It was originally called "'Til Santa's Gone (Milk and Cookies)".
* NewSoundAlbum and UnpluggedVersion: ''D'lectrified'', recorded entirely with acoustic instruments.
* RecordProducer: He was produced by James Stroud from his debut album through ''Nothin' but the Taillights'' (a 10-year span), with Mark Wright as an additional producer on his debut. From ''D'Lectrified'' onward, he produced by himself. He also produced ''Series/NashvilleStar'' winner Buddy Jewell's debut album, and a couple albums by acts on Equity
* SequelSong: "No Time to Kill" references "Killin' Time".
* ShapedLikeItself: "Wherever You Go"..."there you are".

Much has been studied on the connection between autism and artistic skill. There have been a few theories on the connection between autism and the often remarkable technical skill for drawing that comes with it. One is that the same brain functions that make it difficult for people with autism to interact with others also fosters and extreme literalism that allows them to visualize things with greater clarity.
Anyway, New Scientist today has a gallery of artwork done by some folks with autism. The first is by Daniel Tammet, an austitic savant best known for memorizing pi to 22,514 digits and learning Icelandic in a week. I took four years of Spanish and still have trouble ordering in Mexican restaurants.

This Italian Zombie movie, also known as Zombie, begins with an abandoned boat sailing into New York. The boat owners daughter and a New York reporter both try to solve the mystery and journey to a isolated Caribbean island to find her father. Unknown to them, the island is the home of a mad scientist, who plays with life and dark magic to create Zombies.
This b-movie has gratuitous nudity, a Zombie vs. shark battle, and a good 70s soundtrack. It's Gilligan's Island with Zombies. And fire. So bad it's ok.

In this post in the Center for Global Development's (CGD) "Global Health Policy" blog, Jenny Ottenhoff, policy outreach associate at the center, says "four big issues will impact U.S. support for the global response to the [AIDS] epidemic over the coming year." According to Ottenhoff, these issues include the FY 2013 budget; the upcoming presidential election; "looming, automatic, across-the-board spending cuts that will be triggered under sequestration in January 2013"; and the potential reauthorization of PEPFAR, which will be decided in 2013. "These storm clouds over AIDS funding could turn out to have a silver lining if austerity creates pressures to improve the global response to AIDS in ways that make it more effective and efficient," she writes (7/18).

To join, click the "Join this group" button on the top bar. Joining is different from watching: as a watcher, you will get notice of all the group artwork and blogs, but you will not be able to submit artwork or participate in any contests.
Submitting Artwork
Only members may submit artwork. Please submit your artwork to the appropriate folder. The folder called "Member Submissions" will be where the majority of the artwork will go.
Please only submit your own artwork. We have been overrun with submissions by other people requesting that an individual's artwork be placed in the group. Submitting in this manner adds an extra step because the artist has to approve that the piece be int he group. Anything that is not submitted to the correct folder will be denied. Folder contents are pretty self-explanatory.
Also, please be aware that we do not accept screen grabs.. This is against DA's policy and can get you banned from the site. Admins will be going through the galleries and removing any pieces that violate these terms. Repeat offenders will be removed from the group.
We do not discriminate on artistic ability; however, please don't spam the submissions with hastily drawn Muro or Paint projects; a few will be accepted, but if the submissions become too frequent, they will likely be turned down or removed from the gallery if they were automatically approved.
Suggestions to Favorites
If you know that a person is not a member, and you want to suggest one of their pieces to the gallery, please suggest it to the "Favorites" rather than the main gallery. This avoids the middle step, as the artist does not have to approve a submission to favorites.
Please do not suggest your own work to the favorites folder; we would like to reserve favorites for showcasing non-member artwork.

Program Information
The Master of Science in Forensic Science degree program emphasizes extensive learning in the scientific and laboratory skills necessary for application in a modern forensic laboratory. The program offers concentration focuses in areas of forensic investigation and includes exposure to the breadth of forensic disciplines, including the principles, practices, and contexts of science as they relate to specialized forensic topics.
The Forensic Sciences program is a 39-hour Master's of Science Program, with the option of completing a research thesis or a comprehensive written exam. For students choosing to complete a thesis, only 24 hours of course work plus 6 hours of thesis hours are required for graduation.
Students from various undergraduate backgrounds may pursue either of two tracks within the program: the forensic Scientist track or the forensic Investigative track. The Investigative Track is designed for students who have a soft or social science background and intend to work in a non-laboratory setting. The Scientist Track is designed for students who have a hard science background and wish to work in a traditional laboratory setting.
Students are admitted into the program twice a year, once in the Spring and once in the Fall. The application deadline for Spring admission is September 30 and the deadline for Fall admission is April 15.
NOTE: Felonies and certain criminal, traffic, and civil convictions can disqualify a graduate from obtaining some positions in the law enforcement or criminal justice professions.
For more information, please contact Dr. Robert Paine at firstname.lastname@example.com

I think I may have bent an axle in my Shimano XT hubs. They were recommended to me because they are supposedly more durable than cartridge bearing hubs for someone at my weight, but my cassette wobble says otherwise.
On Wiggle, I can get Hope Hoops (Pro2 Evo hubs laced to a wide selection of rims) for just over $400 shipped... thoughts on those hubs? I know the stainless bearings aren't as desirable, but I don't think I'm ready to build a wheelset right now and I just want to ride... I've got 2 months of decent weather left before the snow comes so time is important...
I don't do any drops or jumps, and I would consider myself a smooth/easy rider even with my weight, so what do you guys think? I like the price point, the fact that the hubs are convertible to anything, and the angry bee noise...
Recommendations on rims? The XC wheels are build with DT XR400, Mavic XC717 or No Tubes CREST, and the "aggressive" wheels are built with DT Swiss EX500, Mavic D521 or No Tubes Flow... I'd like to keep it as light as possible without sacrificing durability. I've never had a wheel trued and I've never taco'd one...

Recently i made a post on the amazing Long Form Library created by English designer Thomas Mills. I uncovered more from Thomas Mills when he agreed to do an interview, from his cycling passion to his broad perspective of creativity and design. Enjoy!
2dots - Can you tell readers a bit about yourself and what you do.
TM - My name is Thomas Mills. I was born in the North of England among the hills. I moved to the country's third city Manchester aged 6. I had a standard education. I studied a photography degree in the late 90's.
Then i worked as a bookseller for 8 years. I then took a design degree aged 30, completing my studies in 2010.
Whilst studying I began cycle touring during the Summer and Easter breaks. I crossed most of Eastern Europe, all of Britain and finally, after graduating, I rode from New York to Portland along most of the Oregon Trail in the process. Any Americans will be well aware that we bucked the wind. Oh the English! Now I run a design company called ifsodoso.
2dots - When you were a child, did you want to become a designer.
TM - I loved bikes and built many with my dad. That is a very sedate introduction to engineering i suppose.
Lego is partly to blame also. You never have enough bricks to achieve your aims. I thought as an adult this may change. It didn't. I loved sky scrapers (hence the many long visits to the States) and as a kid dreamed of visiting them. I thought if I became a designer i could make equally exciting things
2dots - What inspired you to do long form library.
TM - A visit to Ron Arad's Restless exhibition at the incredible Barbican Centre in London. All his creations move in some way. I also read a great poem by Ettore Sottsass entitled Design for the Rights of Man which challenges designers to design for people not money.
2dots - What was the creation process like and what was your biggest challenge.
TM - Fairly straightforward. Lots of drawing. I worked for six weeks from blank page to scale drawing then to scale model then to fully realised computer model. I needed to establish whether to CNC router the panels, or cut them by hand with an angle-adjustable rip-saw. CNC proved not to be an option. So, handmade it was.
The build was made complicated by the fact there are 108 different angles to cut. However, I knew if i stuck to the drawing it would be okay. At the end there was a shortfall of 4mm when i measured up for the last two boxes. Not bad!
2dots - What is an important factor in designing that matters to you most.
TM - Be passionate.
2dots - How has your work evolved from your first work to present.
TM - My earlier work was very unusual. I always strove to challenge and confuse people. As i matured, I learned to do this in more subtle ways but with the addition of a layer of information that clearly explains the process and the intention of the piece. Be it instructions for usage, or a story to help explain its genesis and purpose. I like to push materials to their limits and this is always the basis for any progression i make.
2dots - Can you tell readers about your company ifsodoso and what it is about?
TM - ifsodoso is a 3D production company, and by that i mean, production of anything sub-architectural in scale. As you can see with the library, we are able to manufacture very large pieces, primarily through ingenious construction methods. We have produced colourful sculptural work for local companies, 3D letters for various clients, we provided Art Direction on two music videos, one of which was for popular British Rock Band - Elbow.
We also completed a stunning interior for Manchester's Modernist Restaurant - the Rose Garden.I now co-run a studio and workshops (our own premises) in Manchester which is used by fellow graduates and others. They are free to operate under the ifsodoso banner. I believe that their talent deserves to be employed, so anything we can do to help graduates in these tough times, we will.
2dots - As a designer how do you define creativity.
TM - That which sets us apart from ourselves.
2dots - Aside from designing what else are you passionate about?
TM - Music. Travel. Family. Sport.
2dots - What are your source of inspirations.
TM - My family here and sadly elsewhere. Those who do it their own way. Anti-establishmentarians from every decade, century and mythical time past. In particular Graeme Obree the greatest cyclist of my generation and a peerless innovator. I really am drawn to people who make a very individual mark, often by accident. Design wise, I love Ron Arad, Piet Hein Eek and Martino Gamper's work.
They are unconventionally brilliant, and never per'ceivably set out to make money, though i am sure they have. Then there are those long since passed, the greatest of all, undoubtedly being LeCorbusier himself. Who else would dare or indeed dream of suggesting the demolition of Paris, in order to replace it with mile high concrete? No-one! I'm glad he was vetoed. But only just. Incredible.
2dots - What is your perfect working mode like.
TM - Every so often, i start running around, from task to task, with boundless energy, maybe up to 16 hours without any real discernible break, I'll stop to eat, but find myself contentedly gazing upon my next task with crystal clear intent, minutes later it will be complete and the next task will already have presented itself seamlessly before me and i will be completing that soon too.
Then as night falls, i will smile and think, i don't really need to stop, because everything i touch right now will work and the second that temporary state of flux is interrupted i will know it is time call it a day.
I will ride home having tidied up, knowing that the next time i come, everything will be ready for me to continue at pace, until I am satisfied that the completion date is realistic. And at no point will i be what i would ordinarily describe as tired.
2dots - What books do you read?
TM - Kerouac, Vietnam histories, tales of the Industrial Revolution in the UK (particularly the North), old design theory books (the new ones are a bit smug, there is no wide eyed sense of enligthenment), and tons of Biographies & Autobiographies, especially cycling ones. My favourite book recently was a book called the rider by Tim Krabbe. Its about the thoughts and musings of one man as he races over 120miles in the Belgian rain.
It encapsilates the tenacity that we all have within us, but that becomes lost if we are not careful.
2dots - Describe your ideal space.
TM - Somewhere between here and the moon.
2dots - Is there something you dream to design in future.
TM - An open to all velodrome in the park near my home. When i was a child, there was an open air cycle track nearby. It was very dilapidated, but elegant. My father raced on it in it's heyday during the sixties. Hundreds would turn up. As a working class past time, cycle racing was very important socially. As the races came to an end for the evening, riders from all the suburban areas would leave together to their respective boroughs. This connected them to each other and the city in a very strong bond.
Cycling is very popular again, and having witnessed its renewed impact in Portland and New York especially, i would like us to re-embrace it here too. We have a superb velodrome, but like any sport complex, it is privy to the usual rules and regulations.
I feel that the openness of the track i mentioned earlier, is somewhat lost on this newer facility, and i would wish to build something with no doors or moving parts, rather like the Taj Mahal, a solid edifice, without moveable, lockable barriers. This would allow the track to be self regulated, only the floodlights would link it to the infrastructure, which in turn would be people, not council.
2dots - What do you like most about what you do.
TM - I am my own boss. My decisions can have an immediate and discernible impact on my company, my colleagues, and our surroundings. Many who see our work think it is fantastic, and I'm not ashamed to say that that feels fantastic. As an Englishman this is very hard to admit.
I find a great deal of our built environment massively disappointing, it often lacks passion, risk, verve or an idea.
If I see many more Victorian or Georgian or Tudor revival houses in this country, I will crack, I swear. If we can offer an alternative approach, then i will be happy. Obviously, I don't intend to build houses, but, what we do build will be of its own, not a pastiche or a copy or a clone.

text: Home Culture Video of Principal Dragging Kindergartners Doesn't Lead to Firing Parents of young children who were dragged down the hall by a principal are upset that a video of the incident didn't lead to the woman's firing. By: Stephen A. Crockett Jr. Posted: Feb. 25 2014 11:51 AM 0 Youtube A video recorded in the spring of 2012 showing a Connecticut principal dragging two kindergartners down a hallway has surfaced, causing some parents and administrators to question why the principal was not fired, NBC New York reports. The videos, which were made public last week, show Tisdale School principal Carmen Perez Dickson dragging two young students through the hall on different occasions. The Board of Education reviewed both the videos and voted to suspend Dickson for six months rather than fire her, the news station reports. "The board did not exactly agree with us, so the action that was taken was not what we recommended," Sandra Kase, the chief administrative officer for Bridgeport schools, who recommended that the principal be fired, told the news station. "If I saw the same evidence and saw the same video today, we'd support the same recommendation we made at the time," Kase said. The mothers of the students involved gave the videos of the children being dragged to the news station. "Children go to school to learn and to be respected and we are an example. And if we start to bully, then we can't expect much from these children. They will learn to bully others," board member Leticia Colon, who also voted that the principal be fired, told the news station. Dickson's attorney told the news station that her client's actions were within Board of Education policy guidelines in using reasonable force. The news station notes that Dickson will return from her six-month suspension next month, but she will not return as principal at Tisdale School. Read more at NBC New York. Like The Root on Facebook.

The riding lawn mower driven by Norma Cannon overheated and made contact with dry arbor vitae owned by Lee and Norma Curtis, sending more than a dozen of the tightly-packed trees up in flames. The mower, visible at far right, was totaled. No one was injured; neighbors first kept the fire at bay with garden hoses and Westside and Hood River Fire Departments responded and doused the fire before it reached any structures. Westside Fire chief Jim Trammell, in blue shirt, directs firefighters. The video was taken by Capt. Dave Smith of Hood River Fire Department. Enlarge

Special Vehicles in GTA IV
Unique vehicles is not something new to GTA IV. Unique vehicles can sometimes get very hard to get as they are either mission related or they just appear as a one-time-only. Warning: do not repair unique colored vehicles, it will be resprayed with normal colors and you will never be able to revert back to the unique color. Many of Stevie's (if not all) car theft's are also very unique.
Roman's Taxi
The Roman's Taxi is an Esperanto. This may be the first special car you can get. The car is easy to get, but after the depot is burned down, the cars is no longer available as it gets replaced by a fleet of grey Cavalcade.
The Laundromat is a laundry van that only appears in two mission. The most easiest way to obtain it will mission Hung Out to Dry. It can be found in the back of the laundromat, stealing it, however, will result in mission failure. It's second appearance is in the mission Meltdown where it is used in a scripted sequence. This one can also be stolen, and if you are good at driving a van in a chase, you can complete the mission without failing it.
A Sky blue Marbelle appears in the first cutscene during the mission Clean Getaway. Later in the story, when Vladimir tries to escape from Niko he drives the sky blue Marbelle again in the mission Uncle Vlad. When he reach the Humbolt River, he leaves the car and make a run for it. This is chance to take it and store it if you want to.
Blista Compact
A pure white Blista Compact can be stolen in the mission Clean Getaway. Also this is the modified variant of the Blista Compact. To keep the car, drive it to your safehouse parking space and then commit suicide, which will result in mission failure, but the car will get stored.
Ivan Bytchkov owns a brownish and golden Ruiner which can stolen during the mission Ivan The Not So Terrible. When Ivan crashes his car into the truck, he will make a run for it, don't go after him yet. First, take the car to the end of the block to the south and park it where your will eventually get Ivan
A black-green Stallion with luster effect appears in the mission Escuela of the Streets where you have to follow it to the warehouse in Bohan. After the second cutscene, you can take it to your nearby safehouse and store it.
Gracie Ancelotti owns a special pink Feltzer that can be acquired after the mission I'll Take Her.... However, you must be a little quick to get it, otherwise, the driver will drive off and disappear.
A lustered black Coquette appears in the mission Payback. To obtain it, simply follow the goons until they stop at the building. Another Coquette with a special paintjob can also be acquired that is not mission related or anything else. Simply, if you got a Coquette, drive it to a nearby Pay'n'Spray and respray it until it comes with a white and red special paintjob.
A gold Infernus is one of the cars you have to steal for Stevie. It is a unique gold colour. Like many of Stevies cars, they re-spawn after a while.
A PCJ 600 with red and golden paintjob appears in the mission No Love Lost where you hunts down Jason Michael.The bike can be saved after the mission ends. Another PCJ 600 appears in I Need Your Clothes, Your Boots, and Your Motorcycle with similar paintjob. The PCJ 600 in these mission also comes in several variants.

CAN BRAD PITT SAVE THE WORLD? New Orleans will tell…
Posted By Jill Fehrenbacher On September 3, 2006 @ 4:51 am In Architecture,Design,Disaster-proof design,Green Building,Green Design Competitions | 16 Comments
Hollywood actor Brad Pitt has jumped into the New Orleans rebuilding efforts, unveiling a green housing design [2] for New Orleans's Lower Ninth Ward. The design was selected from an architectural competition with organization Global Green [3], that Pitt helped underwrite and jury.
We have to admit that at first we were a bit peeved (jealous perhaps?) over this Hollywood celeb deciding that he was going to become an architect. [4] After all, the process takes years of grueling school and slaving away as unpaid intern in the wee hours of the night (at least for us) – so our gut instinct is to be less than thrilled about the rich and famous walking up to Frank Gehry [5] and launching an starchitecture career overnight (obviously this is the small-minded/envious part of our brain talking). However, Brad's has been sticking to his guns on this for a while now — and his sincerity and apparent dedication to tackling real problems is starting to warm the cockles of our cynical heart. We are also starting to realize that when Brad Pitt joins the New Orleans debate or the green building debate – everyone stops to listen. Thats good news for all of us who want to get the word out and actually get something done.
According to Yahoo news [2], Pitt said the recovery will not work if the city does not put in place critical services such as schools — and he doesn't see very much progress so far:
"I am appalled and embarrassed that residents still do not have the opportunity … to decide if they want to get back into their neighborhoods and recreate their communities."
You tell 'em Brad!….Since nothing else really seems to be working, perhaps a little celebrity magic can help get the city of New Orleans back on track…
The winning design, GreeN.O.LA, can be seen along with the other short-listed entries here > [3]

In North Carolina, nothing says "Happy New Year" like a giant pickle. Except maybe a giant flea.
Towns and cities across the state are planning to welcome 2011 with their own distinct variations on the world-famous Times Square ball drop.
Raleigh will drop its famous acorn, while the Cumberland County town of Eastover will drop a 3-foot-tall, 30-pound flea made of fabric and wood.
A celebration in Kure Beach will include the dropping of a giant lighted beach ball. And in the Clay County community of Brasstown, people will gather for the annual lowering of the possum.
In Mount Olive, the festivities include a giant illuminated pickle. But get there early -- they celebrate midnight by Greenwich Mean Time, which means 7 p.m. here in North Carolina.
