illnesses such as depression, anxiety and phobias are becoming more
common, depression especially. There are lots of reasons for that,
but they mostly fall into two categories:
the first would be dealt with by drugs, and the second by counselling.
But there are alternatives, and they can be helpful with both major
and minor mental health issues.
A minor upset
or a simple phobia (or even a complex one) can often be dealt with
very easily using EFT. But
for other mental imbalances, a more in-depth, multi-faceted approach
will give a more permanent improvement.
The main ways
I'd suggest approaching improved mental health are through use of
EFT, and nutrition. These
are not quick fixes, though - for deep seated depression or self
image problems, there may be many layers to work through. Read on
for more info on how each of these can help your mental health,
whether it's already fairly good, or you have major problems.
Emotional Freedom Technique can improve mental health
There is no doubt that traumatic experiences can cause major, ongoing
emotional problems. But so can a multitude of smaller events that
might seem nothing to the casual observer. Criticism, failure, self
doubt, the overheard unkind remark, and limiting beliefs about yourself
lead to a diminished sense of self worth. This can lead to obvious
mental health issues such as depression or anorexia.
It can also contribute to problems nobody else might notice: lacking
the confidence to go for that job you want or talk to the girl you
fancy, being too shy to go to parties, being unable to communicate
with your children, procrastinating till you miss the deadline,
tension headaches, overworking to prove yourself, letting yourself
be bullied, minor fears or major phobias. You might not be mentally
ill, but you're not entirely healthy either.
EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) can be used to clear a wide range
of things:
EFT involving tapping on various points on your face and body,
to neutralize the energy imbalances associated with your troublesome
memory or belief. It's a simple little technique that you
can teach yourself and use daily to feel less stressed and more
happy. And it's an art form that a skilled practitioner can
use to neutralise deep, complex, multi faceted emotional problems.

we need whole foods for good mental health
In the 1930s, a dentist named Weston Price traveled round the world
studying cultures still eating their traditional foods, and compared
their health with those members of the same culture eating western
foods. Those continuing to eat traditional diets enjoyed excellent
physical and emotional health. But those who had changed to a western
diet high in white flour, sugar, and canned goods suffered from
a range of physical and mental health problems and were prone to
infectious diseases. This huge deterioration occurred after just
one generation of exposure to processed foods. His book "Nutrition
and Physical Degeneration" is a landmark in the understanding
of how food affects the mind and body.
Price found a lot of commonalities between the different traditional
diets. The food was organic and high in nutrients, many times higher
than our typical diet today. The diets were all high in animal fats,
and none of the societies were vegetarian. Where people were unable
to get enough meat or fish, they ate a lot of raw dairy products.
Fermenting techniques were used, to increase the nutrient value
of the food and preserve it. Grains, legumes, nuts and seeds were
always soaked, sprouted or fermented to reduce harmful anti-nutrients
and increase digestibility.
In contrast, our modern diet is high in sugar, refined grains,
trans (processed) fats, pesticides, preservatives and additives.
Processing techniques make our food less digestible, rather than
more. We've been misinformed that nutritious and protective
saturated fats are bad for our health, and so often avoid them.
We suffer from nutritional deficiencies and are overloaded with
toxins. Our digestive health breaks down and we start to get food
intolerances. Just a few of the ways this can impact on mental health:
People are often stunned to discover that in many cases their debilitating
mental health conditions such as chronic depression are exacerbated
by foods they are consuming daily. The modern staples of wheat and
sugar are two of the most common triggers. Returning to a nutrient
rich diet, with a few carefully chosen supplements where needed,
can transform our body chemistry, our brain chemistry and our mental
and emotional health.
and/or chemical intolerances
It would be an overstatement to suggest
that all mental illness can be linked to these causes, but there
is good evidence that a large number of people can be helped without
using drugs (or using a minimal amount in the early stages) or therapy.
Allergies", by William Philpott and "An
Alternative Approach to Allergies", by Theron Randolph are
two books that document a number of cases of mental illness being
caused by food or environmental allergies or intolerances. Or even
more comprehensive - "The
Food, Mood, Body Connection" by Gary Null.
introductory section is a general overview of how these factors
can create physical and mental illnesses, and some of the therapies
that are being successfully used to overcome them. He then covers
specific illnesses in 3 sections. Disorders of Mood or Behaviour
include addictions (drug, alcohol and food), Alzheimer's disease,
anxiety disorders, eating disorders, depression (unipolar and
bipolar disorders), schizophrenia, insomnia, thinking disorders
and Tardive Dyskinesia. Disorders in children include aggression,
ADD and hyperactivity, autism, behavioural disorders, chronic depression
and food allergies. Organic conditions commonly misdiagnosed
as mental disorders include hypoglycaemia, candidiasis, chronic
fatigue, hormone imbalances, PMS, thyroid disorders and nutrient
Of major concern
is the sheer quantities of children in the States who are suffering
from conditions caused by poor food (refined carbohydrates, sugars,
trans fats and other foods with inadequate nutrients), food allergies
or intolerances, or environmental poisons. These children are often
then drugged into submission with substances that stunt their development
and cause long term mental damage. If they were fed properly
and protected from toxins, this would give a much better result.
I don't know how
New Zealand compares to the USA in this area. Given the breakfasts
I sometimes see children eating at the bus stop, and the worrying
statistics on obesity, I suspect our children's diets are also causing
a lot of behavioural problems. I don't think the use of Ritalin
and similar drugs is as prevalent here, but unless something is
changed, it's bound to happen.
Many adults also
suffer unnecessarily from mental disorders or chronic physical illnesses
that are dismissed as mental. This doesn't have to be the case and
can be changed.
The latest research,
and treatments by doctors who are prepared to look outside the square,
is discussed in this book. These include pinpointing food allergies
or intolerances, removing environmental toxins from the home, analysing
nutrient statuses in the body and correcting imbalances with the
appropriate supplements.
If you or your child suffer from any
of the complaints listed, I encourage you to do some research on
alternative treatments. This book would be a great place to start.
Find a doctor or healthcare provider who is open to helping you
with these treatments. Sadly, most doctors are not, and your
doctor is unlikely to suggest these types of solutions. It will
be up to you to take the initiative. But it will be worth it.

Sandstrom: New legislation gives teens a voice in traffic safety programming
I am a teenager. I stay up too late. I wake up too late. I get emotional. I don't want my parents circling me like hawks, and I definitely don't want them to try to tell me what to do, especially behind the wheel. However, now that students are falling back into the school routine, it's time for everyone to pay attention to teen safety on the road.

"That helps us keep pretty consistent on keeping up with the lime needs or the pH levels in the field as well as your overall P and K levels or micronutrients in these fields," Bauer says. (Click here to order the Corn College TV Education Series on DVD.) Follow five steps when taking those samples: Calibrate your probe to the depth specified by the laboratory that will be processing your soil samples. Sample consistently. Labs generally specify a depth between 6 2/3" and 8". Pull between 10 and 12 cores from each management zone. Store soils in separate bags, one per management zone. Use field computers and GPS to know where you're at in the field. Click play to watch Episode 12 of Corn College TV Season 3: Back to news

text: Fitting photography around a family Geek Dad 04 May 10 by Simon Kisner http://www.flickr.com/photos/stevekeys/4471415446/sizes/o/CC licensed: Steve Keys Cameras have long been an obsession, but with the arrival of kids my hobby has had to change a little. While I'm still as avid about it all as ever, it's the more unusual aspects of photography -- such as the use of film -- that have been met with smiles and intrigue from my offspring.My latest dilemma is whether to ditch my Canon dSLR for a Micro Four Thirds camera. I've always had an SLR both film and digital, but what with the kids and other stuff that needs carrying around a new smaller digital camera has become extremely attractive.I still lust after the Panasonic Lumix GF1 with its Leica lens, because let's face it, I'm never going to be able to afford an actual Leica. I definitely shouldn't be gazing out of the window dreaming of the retro chic of the Olympus PEN either, especially as I've got plenty of other cameras to play with.Truth be told though, I'm a bit of a hoarder when it comes to cameras. When the time, and the excuse, is right to replace my dSLR I probably won't get rid of it -- it will enter the camera hall of fame that takes up most of our spare room. From a 1909 Kodak No.3 to my latest eBay win, a Polaroid 1000, and quite a lot in between. I'm prone to buying, using and hacking cameras of all shapes and sizes.I started on the digital camera ladder when my eldest daughter was born. A little Fuji Finepix charted her progress with instant results and she learned quickly that you can see the picture as soon as it has been taken. The birth of my youngest was celebrated, by me of course, with the purchase of my trusty Canon 300D, so you can see how, in my house, as well as others across the globe, that the immediacy of photography has become the norm.After a few years of digital consumption the bug for film photography returned. Nothing equals the feel of a print photo and the love and attention that goes into making it. At any given moment I can whip out the Mamiya C330, the Fed 2 or the Holga to be greeted by the kid's poses and grins that turn quickly to quizzical frowns when they realise that they're not going to see the images we've created. They scour the camera for the merest hint of an LCD screen and are despondent when they don't find one.To add insult to injury, my penchant for film, which is a potentially expensive one, has been eased by a rediscovery of Tru-Print and Snappy Snaps. While the latter can turn around a roll of 120 film in a matter of hours, the former takes me right back to my childhood by completing the whole process by post. My kids have found it difficult to understand why anyone would send their photos away, even wait for a week for their return; but they do delight in the anticipation of the clank of the letterbox when the blue envelope arrives with the photos inside. Some might say that we live in an instant culture, but in the far corners of retro geekdom there is still a little room for patience. Edited by Nate Lanxon Latest on wired.co.uk

Window of Opportunity: Using SketchUp's Component Warehousecomments (0) November 2nd, 2010 in Blogs
Working Hard or Working Smart (and FREE!)
The Digital Jobsite blog post #5 gave some ideas on how to create components for SketchUp models from "scratch" which is a great way to make truly custom features for 3D modelling but is arguably "hard work". Hard work in the "lots of mouse clicks" sense, not in the "we're pouring 23 yards of concrete on a hot sunny day" sense. Nevertheless, when given the choice, I'd much rather work smart than hard, so if your SketchUp model needs components like doors, windows, plumbing fixtures, appliances or the like, its "smart" to browse the Google component warehouse to see if what you need is in stock. Best of all, anything in the entire inventory is FREE!!
Window Shopping, Anyone?
This screen capture video gives a quick run-through of using SketchUp's online component warehouse. See how simple it is to access warehouse inventory, search and download a fully functional 3D model of a Marvin casement window component. With only a few clicks we get a window "delivered" to The Digital Jobsite, and best of all, it is a "dynamic component" who's attributes allow it to open and close with a mouse click. When's the last time you went window shopping without a checkbook?!
Window Pain
With the downloaded window component to work with its a simple process to determine the proper rough opening size using the Offset tool. Working with the rough opening dimensions and the Tape Measure tool, location layout for the window component is easy, and cutting the sheathing out isn't much trouble either. So, on The Digital Jobsite, there is very little window pain to deal with as you can see in this video:
Placement Process
The steps for re-working wall framing of the shed model to create the rough opening for our new window are very similar to the ones shown in Blog Post #??? so I've spared veiwers from a repeat performance of the process. After covering a few details of the process that the framing crew overlooked guide lines are created with the tape measure tool to aid in placing the window component in the shed wall. Any of you that are following along as the shed develops might notice a common theme here. Modelling is made simpler and less frustrating when you create a "target" to show SketchUp how you expect it to behave, in this case that target is created with the tape measure tool which aids in placing the corner of the window jamb. Hopefully all my yattering becomes understandable when you watch the video.
Dynamic Finale
For the full benefit of using the dynamic window component, grab the little "Magic Hand" tool and click on the window sash which will pivot open and closed. Shazaam, how cool is that? There are more features, uses and benefits of using Dynamic Components which I'm not covering here for practical reasons. The most practical of those reasons is that I really don't know what those additional features are, but I'm sure they're cool, whatever they are.
Unless an inspirational lightning bolt of something else that the shed model needs hits soon, the next Digital Jobsite post will take a new direction and demonstrate some other feature(s) SketchUp has to offer Finehomebuilding.com readers. BTW, has anyone seen my framing square laying around? I seem to have lost it somewhere on The Digital Jobsite, so let me know if you come across it. Thanks. You can search through the shed model by downloading the SketchUp file here:

Light Spotting for 1 Week! HELP
I've been light spotting for 1 week now. I notice it when I'm usually more active walking, and cleaning but when I lay down it stops. This light spotting is only noticible when I wipe.

this happened to me with my last pregnancy. It took them awhile to figure out that it was a blighted ovum. I bled for a total of 6 weeks. I wouldn't call it bleeding it was more like spotting. I ended up with a d&C at about 6 weeks. I'm wondering if it was detected earlier if they could have given me progesterone to help the pregnancy. Just a thought.posted 03/04/2011 by Neya78
I think you should call your doc as a precaution, some women do have bleeding that is somewhat like a period when they are pregnant though, but with the history of the m/c (so terribly sorry about that) you should really call your dr.posted 07/04/2010 by lullibyemommy

Driver being investigated in deadly Yuma crash
YUMA, AZ - Authorities say a Yuma man may have been driving impaired when his car collided with another vehicle, killing a San Luis couple.
Arizona Department of Public Safety officials say 61-year-old Roberto Rodriguez and 56-year-old Sylvia Rodriguez both died in Sunday morning's crash at the intersection of U.S. 95 and Avenue 7E in Yuma.
The driver of the other vehicle was a 42-year-old Yuma man who was airlifted to a Phoenix hospital for treatment of serious injuries.
DPS officials say the man's name isn't being released because he's a homicide suspect. He hasn't been charged or booked into jail though.
They say the man may have been driving under the impairment of drugs and speeding at the time of the 6 a.m. collision.

A Canon City woman bonded out of jail Tuesday after being accused of punching a police officer in the face.
Police in Canon City say they were called to an apartment complex Saturday on reports of a disturbance involving two female roommates. When officers arrived, they found suspect Aliina Johnson involved in an argument with her roommate, who was reportedly threatening to hurt herself.
Police split the women up, and were planning to transport both to the hospital in separate ambulances for treatment of minor injuries sustained in the fight. Johnson reportedly became combative after she was told she couldn't ride with her roommate, and allegedly punched an officer in the face.
Johnson has been charged with second-degree assault on a peace officer.

text: Home Blogs Blogging The Beltway All the President's Young People Acknowledging that some of the changes on which he'd campaigned had yet to surface, President Obama told college students on Monday that frustration was not an excuse not to be vigilant about the political process. By: Cord Jefferson Posted: Sept. 27 2010 6:29 PM 0 In a phone call with college journalists on Monday, President Obama began attempting to galvanize youth voters, many of whom supported him in 2008 but seem unlikely to rally around the Democrats in the upcoming midterm elections. "Back in 2008, a lot of young people got involved in my campaign because they ... generally felt that we needed to bring about fundamental changes in how we operate," said Obama. "And this is all before the financial crisis. And I think lot of people felt our campaign gave them a vehicle to get engaged and involved in shaping this country over the long term." Acknowledging that some of the changes on which he'd campaigned had yet to surface -- "A lot of old politics is still operating in Washington" -- Obama told the young people that frustration was not an excuse not to be vigilant about the political process. "You can't sit it out," he said. "You can't suddenly just check in once every 10 years or so on an exciting presidential election and then not pay attention during big midterm elections where we have a real big choice between Democrats and Republicans. … That is a big choice. That has big consequences." Despite his pleas, it seems unlikely that Obama's speechmaking will make much difference. A Gallup poll from September showed that the number of young voters who have devoted "quite a lot" of thought to the November election has dropped 56 points since November of 2008, when Obama was elected president.

Artist/producer Pharrell Williams is having the best time of his life right now. He won a truckload of awards this past awards season, got married, and was nominated for an Oscar. However, one blemish on an otherwise stellar year is the legal battle over the hit Robin Thicke song "Blurred Lines," which he produced, with Marvin Gaye's Estate.
In an interview with XXL Magazine, Pharrell finally went into detail about the lawsuit and how "Blurred Lines" is not a straight rip-of of Marvin Gaye's hit song "Got To Give It Up." During the candid conversation Pharrell stated, "I have the utmost respect, the most, utmost respect for Marvin Gaye and his music and he is one of the patriarchs. He is one of the best. But here's the thing—you can't trademark a groove."
"If I play a song—which a lot of my new hip-hop, rap records are—that's done in 6/8 time signature, Charlie Parker's family is not going to sue me for that. Do you understand what I'm saying? If I do a salsa beat right now, I know that Ricky Martin's family is not going to come looking for me," the Grammy Award winner went on to say.
Pharrell offers further proof that his production on "Blurred Lines" doesn't sample Gaye's hit by telling music fans to go read the sheet music.

Crash.Net WRC News
Loeb makes it five Rally Mexico wins in a row
6 March 2011
Citroen Total World Rally Team man Sebastien Loeb bounced back this weekend on Rally Mexico, winning the Leon-based event, the second round in the 2011 World Rally Championship, for the fifth year in succession.
Loeb, who had had to settle for sixth in Sweden last month, ran at the head of the pack on and off throughout the event, trading fastest times with his team-mate, Sebastien Ogier. On Saturday he moved in front on the morning loop, only to slip back in the afternoon when he picked up a 50-second time penalty after a gearbox issue delayed him at the start of SS15.
Despite that though, the Frenchman still ended the leg only 10.5 seconds off P1 and with Ogier first on the road looked well placed to seize the initiative on the final day.
However, sadly there was no final day fight to the finish, after Ogier went off in the opening test while pushing to maintain his hold on the lead. Ogier's exit left Loeb comfortably out front and the seven-time WRC champion was able to ease off, although he still set the joint second best time in event closing Power Stage. The result was a good one for Loeb, although he was sad to see Ogier retire, especially as it means Citroen lose more ground to Ford in the manufacturers' race.
"That was a very hard weekend," Loeb said at the finish. "It was terrible for Ogier. We have done a nearly perfect weekend though and I am happy with the new car. It is very fast."
Meanwhile, Hirvonen, in addition to winning the Power Stage, also took the runners-up spot a result that extends his lead slightly at the top of the 2011 WRC drivers' championship. The Finn lost time on the opening leg running first on the road and while he was disappointed not to be closer to the pace on Saturday, he was still happy at the end, especially after getting those three bonus points.
"It has been a great start [to 2011 for me]," said the Finn, who won round one in Sweden and who eventually finished 1 minute 38.4 seconds off the winner. "It has been a funny rally. I couldn't really match the speed of the Citroen's, but now suddenly I am second."
Jari-Matti Latvala took the final podium place and after two punctures – one of which cost him over two minutes – he was also pretty happy: "Basically it feels good," he noted. "We are on the podium the first time on gravel and that is despite losing so much time earlier in the event."
Behind, Petter Solberg put in a fantastic recovery drive to claim fourth place. He had been running third on the opening day before mechanical issues saw him lose seven minutes in SS6 and plummet down the leaderboard to 13th. He fought back though, despite more dramas on day two: "It has been good, really enjoyable," said 'Hollywood'. "This morning I drove slowly to look after the tyres. I was aiming for fifth [after my problems on day one] and so to take fourth now is unbelievable."
Mads Ostberg was another to survive and after a puncture on SS3, which left him down in 17th, he kept plugging away and at the end achieved his pre-event target of finishing in the top five: "I am so happy to be here at the end," said the Norwegian. "We have been quite clever and not done anything stupid. The slow puncture on the first leg destroyed the result but we have finished with something better than we could have hoped for on Friday."
Henning Solberg was equally relieved to get to the end and he was sixth in the other M-Sport Stobart Ford car nominated to score manufacturers' points: "This is great," he reflected. "Before the last stage I had to change the power steering belt. I never had such a hard rally - six stages without power steering [on Saturday]. My fingers are not very nice. It hurt!"
Further back, Nasser Al-Attiyah took seventh place and the SWRC class win, having led the category from start-to-finish. He eventually finished 13.5 seconds up on Martin Prokop, with Juho Hanninen third: "This is fantastic," said Al-Attiyah. "It was a very hard week. We have competed here many times, but it is a good start for us [to win the first round of the SWRC]. We won the Dakar and then the Qatar Rally and the rally in Saudi. I hope to keep it going now. It has been a fantastic year for us so far."
Federico Villagra rounded out the top ten, taking advantage of the SupeRally to claim the final drivers' point after he went out in SS2 on Friday. Ken Block had been set to take tenth following an extremely trying event, but more drama in the penultimate stage dropped the American down to 13th overall.
"It was the same electrical trouble," Block revealed. "We were parked there for a while and I thought, 'what the heck, let's try and start it up again' and it started! We then got to the re-group, had 30 seconds before the start of the Power Stage. It was a lot of fun."
In terms of retirements, as mentioned previously, Ogier was the biggest scalp, crashing out of the lead in SS20 and leaving some to question whether or not Citroen were right to let their two men slug it out. Dennis Kuipers also crashed out, albeit at the start of day two, while mechanical issues stopped Britain's Matt Wilson – who had been up in fourth - and WRC returnee, Evgeny Novikov. In total of the 25 starters, 18 were classified at the finish.
The 2011 FIA WRC now heads to Portugal in three weeks time, with round three running from March 24-27.

Re: Opinion column on 3-26 "Drilling Won't Help"
It is sad to see propaganda being touted as opinion. The article is replete with half-truths and falsehoods. The authors' backgrounds are in global warming and a safe environment. That sets the bias of the article.
One solution touted seems to be raising the average mph into the 50 mpg range in 12 years. A riding mower would have trouble making that. Also driving less was an option, which will not go over big in California, Montana and Texas.
It is true that drilling more wells won't help particularly when we are exporting 5 percent of refined fuels now. If that were only sold in the US they would have to lower the gasoline price to get rid of it. Selling it overseas cuts the supply here, raising the price.
When they achieve this mystical 50 mpg (impossible without hybrids) the government will be hard pressed to collect enough tax, so they will start monitoring how many miles we drive with GPS devices. Just the hybrids will probably necessitate this new method of taxing vehicles. Expect that debate soon.
One of the biggest myths they perpetuate is that we only have two percent of the world's oil reserves. The new numbers show America with huge reserves of oil and natural gas dwarfing other countries. There is enough for two hundred years of consumption without oil imports. Readily doable options such as natural gas vehicles are not mentioned.
Right now we are using half of our corn crop for ethanol, which is not workable without a large subsidy. When corn is turned into ethanol it sharply drives up food prices.
Most of the volatility in oil prices is due to speculation. Speculators can now buy oil futures with no cash, just borrowed funds. Even requiring 12.5 percent cash would slow them down. A much higher cash requirement might make them look for another way of fleecing the public.
I suggest locally written columns and when there are strong positions on either side, dual columns. When the authors are local they will only give opinions they can defend.

Minutes of the Special Meeting of January 3, 2008
(As approved at the regular meeting of February 7, 2008)
The San Francisco Public Library Commission held a special meeting on Thursday, January 3, 2008, in the Koret Auditorium, Main Library.
President Higueras called the meeting to order at 4:31 pm.
Commissioners present: Bautista, Chin, Coulter, Higueras, and Munson.
Commissioner Gomez entered the meeting at 4:37 pm.
Commissioner Kane entered the meeting at 4:41 pm.
An anonymous citizen said that at the last meeting he had said that one of the most important things for the library is its institutional memory. He said he has been giving some serious thought to what he meant by that. He said first of all the library by its very nature is the institutional memory of the human mind. He said that is what the public thinks and that is why the public places such great value on this institution. He said the people are not looking for a new vision based on business services and philanthropy. He said institutional memory is the crux of democracy and that democracy depends on memory so that people that serve the public can be held accountable.
Peter Warfield said he was disappointed that the notice for the special meeting went out without the topics to be discussed. He said normally a notice for special meeting would include the reason for the meeting and who called it. He said he was disappointed that there is two Peer Reviews to be heard at a special meeting.
Commissioner Gomez entered the meeting.
Public Comment
An anonymous citizen said the point he was trying to make on page 1 was that we are not in control of what people think. He said he also drew a comparison between what you would like people to believe which was that the Main Library was on schedule, on budget and on program and what people actually do remember. The point is a victory on Prop D won't be seen as a victory unless you fulfill the promises you make. He said the Public Comment on the middle of page 4 referred to the PowerPoint presentation and he had said that it was not available to the public.
Commissioner Kane entered the meeting.
Peter Warfield said Happy New Year to the Commission. He said the minutes have some good and some bad. He said in his comments on page 1 he is summarized as saying he spoke to one of the members of the Citizens General Obligation Bond Oversight Committee and "was told that the Committee had some very serious concerns about the Library's Bond program and had not praised the library as had been represented." He said it is very important to add "as had been represented by the library." He said his remarks on page 2 referred to the remarks by the teenagers and should have included that they were asking for more funding for books. He also said when he was speaking about Link+ fees on page 7, the key was not to set up barriers to poor people for free and equal access.
Motion: By Commissioner Chin, seconded by Commissioner Bautista to approve the minutes of the regular meeting of December 6, 2007 to modify the minutes as recommended by Mr. Warfield on the bottom of page 1 to add the words "as had been represented by the library." And to include the modifications to the Minutes as reflected in the memo from Commissioner Higueras dated December 28, 2007
Action: AYES 7-0: (Bautista, Chin, Coulter, Gomez, Kane, Higueras, and Munson)
President Higueras invited the two Peer Reviewers to come to the stage and asked the City Librarian and Deputy City Librarian to move to the audience.
City Librarian Luis Herrera said in the past we have had three architects reviewing the design process. He said this is being changed to allow the architectural review, but to also include the library perspective.
Marilyn Thompson, Bond Program Manager, said the Visitacion Valley Branch Library has had nine community and Commission meetings related to the property acquisition and deign of the new branch. She said in 2003 the Library purchased the property at the corner of Leland and Rutland and since the site was significantly larger than the library had originally planned for, the budget was increased at that time by $716,000. She said this was considered a good candidate for a Prop 14 grant and the design began in hopes that the State would fund 65% of the cost. Unfortunately, Visitacion Valley did receive the Prop 14 money. In March 2007, the Commission approved transferring 5 project budgets to other projects including Visitacion Valley. Andy Maloney, Bureau of Architecture (BoA) began work on the redesign last fall. This new design was presented to the community and Supervisor Maxwell on October 25, 2007 and was well received. She said the total project budget is $11.4 million, which includes site acquisition, site work, construction, architects, engineers all of the specialized consultants, testing, surveys, reports, moving costs, permit fees as well as contingencies, basically everything except furniture and computer equipment. The project is scheduled to go to bid this fall and start construction early next year.
Andrew (Andy) Maloney, Project Architect from the Bureau of Architecture's Library Design Studio, gave a brief overview of the Visitacion Valley area. He showed slides of some of the buildings in the area and he explained the process of developing the proposed design for the building and showed some of the early hand drawn studies. He said the lower case "t" shape seemed to work best. He explained how the process proceeded with a flow without cramped space. He showed the floor plan with the corner entrance. He showed slides showing the precedence of the classical and historic elements to the design. He said this building solves the needs of the community. He said the building is approximately 8600 sq. ft. with 3400 linear ft. of bookshelves. He explained the building security, other service areas in the library, technology, infrastructure, the courtyards and the landscaping. He said he thinks this solution is a good one for this community.
Brian Bannon, Chief of Branches, gave the staff's comments to the design. He explained the staff process in looking at the design of the building especially looking at our future vision for the library. He said this included teen spaces, defined children's areas, and programming space. He said this building allows us to meet all of these needs very well. He said a variety of staff have given feedback on the plans and they believe this design will meet programmable and functional needs. He also said the community feedback as been positive.
Marilyn Thompson, Bond Program Manager, introduced the Peer Panel members. She said Sarah Willmer has practiced architecture for nearly 22 years, designing everything from corporate campuses and university buildings to residential dwellings and renovations. She said she has served with several prominent firms and founded the Studio Sarah Willmer Architecture. She lives with her family in Noe Valley. She said Monique Le Conge has been Director at the Richmond Public Library since October 2004; formerly she was Director of the Benicia Public Library. She said she is the 2008 President of the California Library Association.
Sarah Willmer said she had some very positive comments and some questions. She said the central space is a wonderful space, the other areas are clearly marked out and she said the scale is appropriate. She asked about the symmetry of the building and said she found the form sort of antithetical to the site. She said the staff area has a courtyard on the south in the light and the community room and the children's section are on the north side of the building. One advantage is that you have four equal plazas in footprint, but that they are not equal in quality of space. She said a library needs to be forward thinking and she thinks this building is accomplishing that.
Monique Le Conge said as a librarian her focus is more on the function of the building rather than the way that it looks. She said it is a building that lends itself to flexibility. She said walking into that large open space can feel welcoming. She is concerned about the height of the stacks impeding the site lines from the reference desk or from the entryway. She asked about the computers in the teen section and wondered how many there were, where they are situated and whether they will accommodate more than one teen at a computer station. She wondered how the acoustics would work with the rotunda. She said she had concerns about the delivery area, the location of the trash and the stair access to the basement. She said she liked the use of natural light in the building.
Marilyn Thompson thanked the peer review members for their comments.
Public Comment
An anonymous citizen said he was concerned that there were not any explanatory documents and none of the documents referenced in the discussion were available to the audience. He said we don't know the background of the panelists. He said in the past there have been three architects and we are down to one. He said the primary issue is the esthetic with Leland Avenue. He said in his opinion this evokes a 19th century Spanish Mission. He asked how that works with Leland Avenue. He said he was concerned about the flexibility of the spaces.
Peter Warfield said it is very hampering to the public to not have the documents in advance and particularly all the documents that were referenced. He said there were no documents on instructions to the architect on what he was expected to do. He wondered how you can review something when you don't know what the plan or program was. He said he was disappointed that the word "books" was only used twice. He said there was nothing mentioned about the number of books. He said he was startled to hear references to classical this and classical that. He said this reminds him of the design of a classical church.
Sue Cauthen, Library Citizens Advisory Committee (LCAC) speaking for herself said she knows why Andy Maloney is a star in the Bureau of Architecture. She said this is a great design.
Edie Epps, a resident of Visitacion Valley, said she was at the community meeting on October 25 and she said the community was pretty much all on the same page in liking the design and liking the presentation. She said there is a little concern about the plazas and how they are gated and maintenance is done. She said the wind is very strong in the afternoon, which may kick up a lot of debris. She said the community would like to see this building as green as possible. She said she is also representing the Visitacion Valley Business Opportunities and Outreach to Merchants and passed out a letter sharing the merchants' concerns about parking.
Fran Martin, Visitacion Valley Planning Alliance and other committees, said the community really likes the design. She said this type of architecture appeals to people. She said this will be the civic center for the area and this is something the people can have pride in and pride in themselves. She said the Greenway Project and Andy Maloney received an award on the clubhouse in the area and the children are so excited about architecture and how the clubhouse was built for them. She said she hopes no decisions are made at this meeting because the community hopes the final decisions are made by them.
Russel Morine, resident of Visitacion Valley and a merchant on Leland Avenue, said the design is a vast improvement over what was designed before. He said he has concern and has heard other express the opinion that the plazas and the open space might be wasted space. He would like more information on that issue. He said his biggest concern was the budget and whether we will have the money to build this building. He asked what the bid alternatives might be for the project. He said he hopes that this can be a silver or platinum green building.
Betty Parshall, Visitacion Valley, said after the decision was made not to reuse the supermarket building she advocated using the full site. She is glad the entire site is being used but what she had in mind was that it would be used for library function not for outside plaza areas. She said she was hoping that idea could be revisited and some of that plaza space could be used for indoor library space. She said she was also concerned about the budget and having enough money to build this building. She said she is interested in function over form. She said the building is very attractive from the street. She said she had a concern over circulation staff space. She would also like to know the number of books that are planned for the branch.

Commissioner Munson asked what sort of flexibility is available and would it be possible to increase capacity. He said it is a handsome building, but he said he assumes the Commission's role is to look at budget questions, is the community happy with the design and function of the building.
Commissioner Kane said there were very good comments from the community. He asked about the need for the plazas and within the budget would it be possible to increase the size of the building.
Commissioner Gomez said she loves the design. She found it lovely and thought it fit into the surroundings. She wondered about the trash area near the children's space. She wondered about the security and fencing about the plazas. She also mentioned concern about the site lines. She asked how the linear space of shelving compared to the existing space.
Commissioner Coulter said he enjoyed the presentation and appreciated that the community likes this design. He said he would like to hear more about this being a rectangular building. He wondered about the plazas and how they would be used and their security. He said he would like to hear more about the number of books for the branch and the expansion capabilities.
Commissioner Chin said she appreciated the presentation by the architect who shared his thought process on this building. She said she did wonder about filling in some of the open spaces and the possibility of turning it into an octagon. She said if you expand later it will be more time and money. She said the community room is 19' x 38' and that is not very big. She said she would like to see the teen area and the children's area expanded outward a little bit. She said it will be an important institution and it should stand out. She also asked what type of materials will be used.
Commissioner Bautista said she thought we did not do solar panels because there was a deal with PG&E. She said she would like this building to be as green as possible and would like to revisit the possibility of solar panels for the building. She said this is Visitacion Valley's civic center. She said the community room needs to be larger and possibly gardens in the plazas. She said she was concerned that there will only be 12 computers. She said she is concerned with the security of the building especially the fencing, lighting and graffiti proof materials. She also was concerned with the number of rest rooms.
President Higueras thanked the architect and said how important it was that this will be a civic space and how important it will be for this building to reflect the culture, the history and the ambitions of this neighborhood. He said regarding the issue of classicism v. modernist the trends seem to be going more toward the modernist. He said being true to classical design requires some budget. He said he does understand that as the building is currently designed it does meet the budget. He said he has a concern about the circulation within the building. He said he hopes that the stacks will be half height stacks. He said the plazas offer the opportunity for light and air. He said there may be some code implications for exiting the building. He said the issue of the location of the trash enclosures needs to be studied. He said the more geometry you have the less flexibility you have so he would like library staff to be very comfortable with the very geometric space. He said he does not see this easily lending itself to expansion, but it does provide a strong identity for the community.
Andy Maloney, Project Architect, said the main point of criticism seemed to be the form and that it was rigid. He said the simplest solution would be a box, which would provide more flexibility. He said the building is more than just the function; it has to make a statement of a civic building. It would not be easy to expand. He said he took a risk that this building would reach higher.
President Higueras said some of the comments made will lend themselves to reconciliation within the design and he hopes those things will be looked at.
Andy Maloney said they would like to look at solar panels, but it is a budget issue. He said the exterior of the building is stucco with asphalt roofing.
President Higueras asked about benchmarking regarding library materials.
Luis Herrera, City Librarian, thanked the panelists for their great input. He said all of these items have been discussed and will continue to be looked at. He said regarding the collection it will be increased by approximately 60%. He said there will be between 35,000 and 55,000 items in the collection. He said it will be one of the larger collections of any of the branch libraries. He said the meeting room will be one of the larger meeting room spaces. He said he appreciates the comments from the public.
President Higueras thanked the architect for the presentation on the design.
The Commission recessed at 6:29 pm. and reconvened at 6:46 pm.
Commissioner Kane left the meeting.
Marilyn Thompson, Bond Program Manager said the process for the Parkside Branch Library began in late 2002 as a simple renovation with no additional space. She said the service needs for the neighborhood did indicate that more space would be needed than was budgeted for. By January, 2004, an additional 1,000 sq. ft. was added and an additional $500,000 was added to the budget. The project was put on hold to not conflict with the nearby West Portal branch closure. Three community and Commission meetings were held between late 2002 and 2004 and due to the escalation in construction costs in the next three years, the new cost estimate showed an increase of almost $1.7 million. She said in March 2007, the Commission approved funds moved into this project, which enabled it to move forward. The budget was increased to $4.9 million, enough to build the larger library that was envisioned. Design was restarted last fall and a community meeting was held on December 15, 2007. The project budget includes site acquisition, site work, construction, architects, engineers all of the specialized consultants, testing, surveys, reports, moving costs, permit fees as well as contingencies, basically everything except furniture and computer equipment. The project is scheduled to go to bid this fall and start construction early next year. She introduced Kacey Jurgens, Principal Architect, Thomas Hacker Architects out of Portland and said that in the audience is Karin Payson from the local associated firm. She said Karin Payson Architecture + Design are responsible for the interior architecture and the construction administration. She said this is the same design team that completed the successful renovation of the West Portal branch library.
Kacey Jurgens, architect, said the Parkside Branch Library was built in 1951. She said it is adjacent to a large public park and near Lincoln High School, so the building is well used by high school students after school. She said the library has been well kept up. She showed photographs of the interior and exterior of the library and explained the design features.
She said there is an ADA issue getting into the building. She said they looked at a variety of ways to increase the size of the building as well as bringing the building up to code. She said they tried to maintain a lot of interior structural walls. She explained the proposed floor plan including site lines and views. She said the collection size will be approximately the same as exists now with approximately 50,000 items. She said they are adding to the media section and slightly reducing the book collection. She said seating will be increased and they will be adding 7 new computers. She explained the proposed ADA access into the building. She said they were not able to add a program room because of the size of the addition. She said there has been a discussion about keeping the fireplace. She said the addition needs to fit gracefully with the existing building without mimicking it.
Brian Bannon, Chief of Branches, gave the library's response and thanked the architect as well as staff for their work on this. He said there are issues that need to be addressed, such as storage of furniture since there is no program room. He said this branch has between 100 and 200 children for story times and there is a lot of teen usage after school. He said it is a very busy branch. He said the library is excited to see the expansion of the teen area. He said there is a community meeting room across the street in the Police Department, but they are continuing planning a flexible meeting space within the library. He said the function is working well with the design and the library is pleased with the aesthetics of the building
Sarah Willmer, Studio Sarah Willmer Architecture, said the design is very elegant and respectful of the existing building. She said moving the teen section near the courtyard gives them a real sense of space in the building. She said the children's area is very special and she supports keeping the fireplace. She said she agrees with keeping the book stacks low to maintain site lines. She said the meeting of the new and the old façade is well done. She also said she would try to scale down the ramp into the building if possible.
Monique Le Conge, Director at the Richmond Public Library, said this is a well thought out renovation. She said the circulation desk is a rather large space and she said that much space might be better used for something else. She said she loves the teen space but questions the number of computers in the area. She said all of the computers in the library will probably be used by teens after school. She said the flexibility of being able to move the furniture for programming works well. She said she supports keeping the fireplace, because it makes the space distinctive. She said from a functional stand point it is a good solution.
Marilyn Thompson, Bond Program Manager, thanked the Peer Panelists Sarah Willmer and Monique Le Conge for helping to ensure that design excellence will be an integral part of the Library's design program.
Public Comment
An anonymous citizen said there were no explanatory documents on the agenda and he said that this is a legal requirement and they should be available to the public. He said the additional $500,000 was added for this library in 2002 by Supervisor Ma. He said it looks like that addition is being given over to back office functions and he doesn't think that is what Supervisor Ma expected for that $500,000. He said he has not had a chance to review Options A and B, the slide went by too fast and there are no copies for the public. He said the crucial aspect is the use of the patio space. He said it is very ill used and he asked if that is the best use for that space.
Peter Warfield said the public had not been provided with documents prior to the meeting and have not been provided with documents relating to what the architect was asked to do. He said Supervisor Ma was concerned with expansion and he said he is disappointed that this design has about the same number or a little less in books. He said we are spending millions of dollars and have 1,000 sq. ft. of expansion but are not getting any more for the collection of the books. He said he would like to see the originals of the documents presented as well as copies and that he thinks the Commission should make those types of items routinely available to the public. He said one of his concerns is comparing the number of reference desks from the existing libraries to the renovated or new branches.
Commission Discussion
Commissioner Munson said it seems like the building could be slightly larger. He said he is concerned that the number of books is not going to increase. He said it seems we are short on computers. He said maybe we are squeezing too much on the dollars for this branch. He also said there may not be enough restrooms.
Commissioner Gomez said she had concern over the use of the courtyard and whether that could be used as part of the teen section. She said it does look like we are adding computers, but she did wonder how the windows would affect the screens on the computers. She said she would really like to see the fireplace retained. She said she also has a concern over the restrooms. She said she does like the solution for the movable furniture so that programming can take place.
Commissioner Coulter said he agrees with most of the comments and said he is sad that there is not more space in the building. He said the building works well on the outside and other than the space issue the building looks fine.
Commissioner Chin said that the building is quite light and she said it is a well used library and that it might be best to use the space outside in the courtyard for the inside of the building.
Luis Herrera, City Librarian, said there is an expansion to the facility of 1,000 sq. ft. but there are trade offs. He said the original $500,000 was to expand the facility. So he said we are gaining the teen space.
Brian Bannon, Chief of Branches, said that if we had used the original footprint of the building and tried to meet just the ADA requirements, we would have lost a considerable amount of space.
Luis Herrera, City Librarian, said that the collection is increasing by about 200 items. He said it will be slightly smaller in the children's and adult sections but will be gained in the teen section.
Commissioner Bautista said she is happy that this building is expanding and having a teen section. She said the courtyard is heavily used.
Brian Bannon, Chief of Branches, clarified the use of the courtyard. He said a portion of it is owned by Park and Rec. He said there was a lot of discussion about the use of this area.
Commissioner Bautista said the terrain of the courtyard is not level. She said she is concerned about the ADA ramp. She asked if there could be a sitting area.
President Higueras said he thinks this is a very nice job for an expansion of an existing building. He said his understanding is that the courtyard is a well-used space. He said where the expansion occurs is a very nice resolution of how to build out an existing building. He said the ramp switchbacks will have handrails and he would like to see if there is any other way to handle the ADA issues.
Marilyn Thompson, Bond Program Manager, again thanked the peer reviewers for giving us their thoughts and the time spent on this. She said there will be a response made to these comments at an upcoming Commission meeting.

Just wondering.
Just wondering.
not really a subject for the framebuilder's forum. Anyway, you possibly could find something interesting at NAHBS. Rivendell is a bike marketer, not a builder. Their bikes have been made by various companies. Waterford/Gunnar is a big name.
Re: Rivendell; fyi to the OP: Toyo, in days before Waterford/ Gunnar.
Re: Lugged steel framesets? LOTS of artisan builders. Almost every major city will have at least a few high-quality custom builders nearby (Portland is happily blessed with more than 30).
As for mass-produced lugged frames? You'd have to look at mid-sized companies, like Soma for instance, who still make one or two. Lugged frames are time-consuming to build and as a result they've become a rarity from the large companies like Trek, Giant, or Bianchi, that build in industrial volumes (mostly in China or Taiwan), which implies construction processes (like TIG welding) that are well adapted to assembly line production.
If you're interested in lugged frames, try hanging out in C & V; you'll learn a lot.
