Canes slugger David Thompson named ACC Player of the Week; Football announces staff promotions, additions
It was a big week at the plate for Hurricanes third baseman David Thompson and it paid off Monday when he was honored as the ACC's Player of the Week. Thompson hit .524 (11-for-21) with two doubles, three home runs and a team-high 13 RBI as the Hurricanes went 5-0. Thompson's walk-off solo home run in the bottom of the 10th inning Friday keyed a three-game sweep of NC State over...

Thompson's Heroics Lead Canes Past NC State
By Austin Sapin At this point, the walk-off hit seems normal for the Miami Hurricanes (13-6) and their fans. For the third time this season, Jim Morris's club used a walk-off hit and this time the hero was David Thompson. With the game tied at 2-2 in the bottom of the tenth, the Canes third basemen blasted a home run over the left field fence to give Miami a big 3-2 conference...

What can I do to help my baby sleep through the night again?
My 8-month-old's sleeping patterns have changed. I was so happy when he was 2 months old because he slept the whole night. Lately he wakes up like a newborn. I just started working again and this is making it so hard on me. What can I do to help him sleep through the night again?

I have a 13 month old. When she was 3 months old she slept in her crib by herself or with her mobile on. At 4 months she got sick, really bad chest conjestion, and we moved her into our bed to make sure she was propped up and could breathe. What we have been doing, because this is the only thing that works, is putting her down in our bed then when she is asleep move her into her crib. She remains there for a few hours then she wakes up for a bottle and a diaper change, and the only way she will fall back asleep is if we let her stay in our bed. We try to move her back into her crib after she falls asleep but she wakes up. I need help!!! Please email me with any suggestions. firstname.lastname@example.com 01/14/2005 by a BabyCenter Member
HI everyone, I am relieved (but still sleep deprived) to hear that others are having same problems of having a routine baby that has slept through the night until NOW!!! Mine has slept since 6 weeks until 8 months long intervals resulting in sleeping up to 10 hrs until 7 1/2 months. I have tried a different sleep routine. She was going to bed at 8pm up at 6am and taking a one hour nap in the am and 2 hour nap in pm. I tried moving her bedtime up 1/2 hour as suggested, baby massage adn all of that. What I found worked was that putting her to bed an hour later, and still getting her up at the same time, has increased her nap time during the day, but leaves enough time from her late afternoon nap to where it seems she sleep deeper at night now. This is working for now until the next challenge. Hope it may work for one of you.posted 12/29/2004 by erileu
My son 17 months old, just recently began waking up between 4-5 am screaming, we tried to let him scream but he just doesnt stop. He finally stops when he comes into bed with us. But we cant keep doing that because we are having a new baby in a week. And we need to get some sleep!! someone please help, my email is firstname.lastname@example.com thanksposted 12/20/2004 by beaniebaby1580
My daughter stopped sleeping throught the night when she was 7 months old. She was getting a tooth and I figured that was the source of the problem. I kept letting her stay up later thinking she would be so tired that she would sleep throught the night. The later she stayed up the more she woke up. Finally I read that babies who are overtired wake up more during the night. Now I put her to bed at 8 and she's fine. I did have to change her bedtime routine. Instead of just putting her in her crib I have to rock her to sleep, which takes about ten minutes. I guess she needs a way to wind down from her busy day.posted 12/15/2004 by juliet5854
My daughter has just started waking up at night. She used to go to bed at eight like clock work, but lately she's waking up every couple of hours. Nothing I do works. I've tried just giving her a binky but she cries until I feed her. I'm going to try to give her water instead of formula. If anyone finds out something that works, please let me know. - email@example.com 12/13/2004 by juliet5854

My son recently started daycare again and seems to have gotten sick again... sniffles, sounds congested, coughing and sneezing. Anyhow, doc said can't do anything for him except humidifier and I hate seing him suffer. Today he started sleeping so much more than usual. Is this bad? I know I am probably paranoid but I am worried about the little guy and am a 1st time mom that feels completely overwhelmed and ignorant when it comes to babies :( I have never been one to wake him for any reason but now am scared that something is wrong. Can sleeping too much be bad or a sign of something more serious? He took almost a 3 hour nap at daycare and then fell asleep tonight at about 8pm before he got his dinner/cereal or bath. We have a general schedule and today he had no part in it. Should I be worried? Any suggestions?
Pls help, baby sleeping alot

I don't think so...when I'm sick, I want to sleep a lot. Poor kid is probably trying to shake it. If he runs a high fever, then concern, but other than that, rest is how we recoup from illness.
Sleep is good. its how the LO's heal. Extra liquids and sleep are the best thing for your LO if sick.
?Heather? loving wife to Kimo since 9/5/05�?
momma to Alyssa�8/5/08�&�Kaylee�6/6/11
Thank you, I've been trying to reach my mom and anyone I know that had kids but was starting to panic since I couldn't reach anyone. I'm completely new to all of this and am feeling totally unprepared and inadequate as a mother. I felt that it might be normal because when I'm sick all I want to do is sleep also but wanted to make sure I wasn't causing any damage. I'm so glad to be able to talk to other mothers! THNX!
Carmen - Mommy to Gavin (born 4/16/08)
Sleep is what babies do when they don't feel good. I would stir baby after 4-5 hours, check for fever often, and watch his breathing. Sick babies sleep and we don't.
Some links that you may find helpful in knowing what to look for and when to take action:
Hope your LO is feeling better soon and try to relax.
Mother to 2 beautiful girls 6/97 and 3/08.
And an adorable new baby boy 8/03/09.
I wouldnt worry about it. If a baby is fighting something they will either sleep alot more, or not at all. Also, babies tend to go through spurts where they will sleep alot for a few days then go back to their normal sleeping habits.
Thnx alot! I honestly feel like I don't know what I'm doing and being a single mom with a baby daddy that fights me ever step of the way but is out of the picture, I truly appreciate getting any advice that I can get.
Carmen - Mommy to Gavin (born 4/16/08)
your LO is probably sleeping alot b/c of the cold trying to fight it. kids also sleep alot more when growing. Whenever mine would start sleeping alot more i would find they shot up an inch or two.
I'm still fighting the weight loss battle, if you'd like to join me ask me for an invite to my private group Downsizing Divas!
Dont worry i think eveyrone goes through this at one time or another! Yep sleep is good thats for sure! good luck!
CC, Mom to 4, Firefighter/ EMT
Never take life to seriously, No one gets out alive anyway.
Besides the other comments made, I notice that my five-month-old has longer napping spells when he is having a growth spurt. Instead on an hour or two hour nap, he has slept for three or almost four hours at a time during the day. Several times, he has awoken from a two hour nap, nursed, and then fallen asleep immediately. So, he may be growing...
Also, my little one always sleeps very hard after being overstimulated by socialization. He loves to talk, play, and smile with everyone away from home, but even a trip to the grocery store wears him out for the rest of the day. Imagine how much stimulation he is getting at daycare?!
These are unrelated to the cold that you mentioned, but I thought might also be contributing.
Good luck!

What if "Social Justice" Demands Small Government?: Interview with Robert Sirico, Part 3
Our Institute, our Acton.org, and certainly my book and the one written by my colleague at the Acton Institute, Dr. Samuel Gregg (Economics for the Theologically Minded), would give a serious student a good introduction.
Before we conclude, Father Sirico, would you be willing to offer a word of encouragement to fellow pastors in the way of Jesus? For example, what would you like to say to them about pastoring people in their various vocational, economic, political, and social responsibilities and spheres?
What a great joy it is to be called by Christ to minister to his people. It is very difficult to always keep in mind that we are called "to serve and not to be served." If our hearts turn cold, which can so easily happen when we neglect prayer and necessary rest, we can easily lose sight of the eternal destiny of each person in our care.
With specific regard to our pastoral work with people who live and work within the secular domain of society, I think the paradigm of the Incarnation of Christ is critical to help them and us to keep balance.
One the one hand, we need to respect the concrete reality of the world in which people spend most of their time: the "mundane" existence whereby people earn sufficient resources to support their families. It is important that we communicate to them that this work has great dignity and eternal significance, and not that they should move from "success to significance" but rather to find significance precisely in the midst of their success. The Incarnation of the Lord was not so much Christ coming to earth as though he were an alien of some kind, but that he came through human agency (the Virgin Mary) and worked in a carpenter's shop.
You can learn more about Fr. Sirico and the work of the Acton Institute, including their various publishing efforts, educational programs, and online resources, by visiting www.acton.org.
This is part of a three part interview with FR. Robert Sirico read parts One and Two.
Joseph E. Gorra is the Managing Editor of Philosophia Christi, the peer-reviewed journal of the Evangelical Philosophical Society. He has also interviewed other philosophers, theologians and other theorists on virtue, economics and the free society for EPSOCIETY.org. At Patheos.com, he recently interviewed Stanford anthropologist, Tanya Luhrmann, about her research regarding evangelical religious experiences. Follow him on Twitter @GorraResearch.

Additional Information
About Negros Women for Tomorrow FoundationNegros Women for Tomorrow Foundation, Inc. (NWTF) is a non-governmental organization established with an aim to help men and women achieve self-sufficiency, particularly in the province of Negros Occidental's low-income communities. The organization offers its clients a wide variety of products, including loans for micro-entrepreneurs, hospital income benefits, life insurance, accidental death benefits and more. Kiva lenders' funds will be used to expand the reach of these products to low-income urban and rural communities.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

My young daughter Athena was pulling at her ear, uncomfortable, crying in pain. It is so sad to see her upset, especially because she can't communicate in words but it was pretty clear she had an earache. So I decided to whip us this garlic infused olive oil treatment that my mom used to use on me when I was a kid because it works and it is harmless.
I made this earache remedy up and applied it into Athena's ear anal at night time, by the next morning she was back to her usual calm zen self. This WORKS EVERY TIME!
Garlic & Olive Oil Benefits-
Garlic is a natural and potent anti-inflammatory, anti-septic, anti-fungal and antibiotic–amazing! And unlike other antibiotics, bacteria does not develop a resistance to it like other natural antibiotics [1]
Olive oil warmed up works to naturally coat and soothe the ear canal while reducing inflammation.
- 1/4 cup of olive oil or sesame seed oil
- 2 cloves of garlic
- Peel fresh garlic cloves and crush them using the bottom of the glass or garlic press, then mince them.
- Warm up over low heat for about 2-3 minutes, you don't want to over-cook it.
- Strain the garlic infused oil with a fine mesh strainer.
- Pour and strain the oil into a small glass container.
- Tilt ear canal at 180 degree and apply a couple of drops of slightly warm oil with a medicine dropper into inflamed ear. Make sure oil isn't too hot.
- Allow the head to remain still for 10 minute or so to allow oil to penetrate ear canal and then seal the ear with a cotton ball.
- Store in fridge, apply 2-3 drops of warm garlic oil into inflamed ear twice a day as necessary.
Be Advised-
- Don't use on broken eardrum.
- If you or your child is experiencing severe ear pain, contact your health professional.
- Garlic infused oil lasts for 2-3 days in fridge. Warm before use for 1-2 minutes on low heat.
- If ear pain gets worse, see a doctor.

Man and machine...
That bike is hot!!!
Thanks, man! I've got a few more bike designs in my gallery, do check them out as well.
first thing that popped in my head when I saw the bike was AKIRA XD, but this one is more sleek more refined, smaller window too. really cool I like it.
Nice camera and perspective...
this is maybe one of your simpler pieces, but it's certainly one of the more refined, the guys suit is classic, i particularity like this sorta back-pack like part around his neck it adds a nic sci-fi look, and the bike looks sleek and awesome. and most of all the perspective is pretty much flawless (the shadow on the bike really brings it all together 8D )
This is one of my personal favorites as well.
I was going for a streamlined look like the aerodynamic suits they use in breaking speed records.
This is one of my personal favorites as well.

yeah totally, it looks awesome, hrm it vaguely reminds me of a manga, called canon god exxon or something like that..except alot more defined and an stylish 8D
I like your view point, the way the rider is standing really draws your attention quickly to the bike, so that you are staring at it almost as much as he is. Great composition.
that´s one sexy bike ...
The line weights are definitely much better on this one, and the perspective is expertly done. Nice work.
cool bike!
Nice perspective!
love that angle.love that bike too

Two Fridays ago, staff writer Laura Onstot began writing a weekly (every Friday) column called Cafe Car, described thusly by a writer who fitting goes by the nickname L-Train:
A master of sexual subtlety, Friedman will rarely write about such obviously phallic foods as this potato..
"Most of us board the light rail downtown after work or on our way to the airport and bury our heads in books and iPods until our destination. But look out the window and you'll discover that the thirty-minute stretch of train tracks is one of the most economically and culturally diverse in the city--at least if the restaurants surrounding each station are any indication. So we here at Voracious decided to start riding to random stops, where we will wander around until something strikes our culinary fancy, treating the light rail as our own, personal cafe car."
Random? Bury our heads? Personal? Rail? Sounds like sex.
Enter Jay Friedman, whose Sexy Feast column will begin gracing Voracious' pages every Thursday beginning tomorrow."In Sexy Feast, I'll go out each week to an area restaurant, find something sexy to eat, and report back with a lesson in love," says Friedman. "The dish itself might be sexy, or, even better, teach us something about sex and relationships."
And just why is Friedman qualified to write such a column? "In addition to years of freelance food writing (with a big case of Gastrolust), I'm a professional sex educator, certified by the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors, and Therapists (a fancy way of saying I'm legit). After seven years with Planned Parenthood, I've been touring the college lecture circuit full time since 1992, delivering my insights and outbursts on love, sex and dating to students around the country and beyond. And now I'm here to share some tender morsels with you."
You'd be a fool not to partake.

Midas Inc. Stock Upgraded (MDS)
TheStreet) -- Midas (NYSE: MDS) has been upgraded by TheStreet Ratings from sell to hold. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its solid stock price performance, increase in net income and expanding profit margins. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including generally poor debt management, disappointing return on equity and weak operating cash flow. Highlights from the ratings report include:NEW YORK (
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Specialty Retail industry. The net income increased by 162.5% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from $0.80 million to $2.10 million.
- Looking at where the stock is today compared to one year ago, we find that it is not only higher, but it has also clearly outperformed the rise in the S&P 500 over the same period. Although other factors naturally played a role, the company's strong earnings growth was key. Looking ahead, our view is that this company's fundamentals will not have much impact in either direction, allowing the stock to generally move up or down based on the push and pull of the broad market.
- MIDAS INC reported significant earnings per share improvement in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. This company has reported somewhat volatile earnings recently. But, we feel it is poised for EPS growth in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, MIDAS INC swung to a loss, reporting -$0.97 versus $0.18 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($0.47 versus -$0.97).
- Return on equity has greatly decreased when compared to its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a signal of major weakness within the corporation. Compared to other companies in the Specialty Retail industry and the overall market, MIDAS INC's return on equity significantly trails that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.
- Net operating cash flow has significantly decreased to -$18.30 million or 381.53% when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, when comparing to the industry average, the firm's growth rate is much lower.

business service management
Business service management (BSM) is an IT management buzzword that has been adopted by many vendors that are using the term to market their products and services. BSM, as a technology term, refers to managing IT based on end-to-end services. It also conveys an understanding of the marketing place for enterprise products considering the work employees carry out in support of those enterprise products and managing IT resources in ways that best support that work.
The term business service management is derived from ITIL (IT Infrastructure Library) version 3, which defines BSM as "an approach to the management of IT Services that considers the business processes supported and the business value provided."

I stopped nursing him at 15 months, I would have done it for longer but he wouldn't eat real food and I had to give him an iron supplement because of it. I also got pregnant at 15 mo and my supply dropped a ton.

Menus Menu Item Article Category List
From Joomla! Documentation
Revision as of 17:23, 7 August 2012 by Tom Hutchison (Talk | contribs)
Missing functionality
In the Help25:Menus_Menu_Item_Article_Category_List#List_Layouts section, there is an indication that it is possible to define the # of hits to show in a list. This functionality is not available in my Current installation (j2.5.6). Should it be removed from these docs? Crispness 10:59, 7 August 2012 (CDT)
The help screens should exactly match the version of Joomla to which they refer, so yes, please make the change. Thanks. Chris Davenport 15:22, 7 August 2012 (CDT)
- @Crispness, could you please elaborate more? I took a quick look because I have one site with a Category List menu item for a page which we hide the number of hits. I went to the Menus_Menu_Item_Article_Category_List screen, enabled it, they showed, then disabled it, which reset it back to the way we show the list on that particular website. It is possible your template is at fault? Quite a few template makers add styles to way the list is shown on a page. Perhaps there is a problem with the CSS or a template override file. It is a functioning choice, show hits, hide them or use global. Yes, I am running Joomla! 2.5.6 too. Thanks Hutchy68 17:23, 7 August 2012 (CDT)

As no one else has answered yet, I have a Macbook Air, latest generation.
You have to be very patient with Aperture and D800 photos. The tasks I checked randomly take roughly twice as long time as for D300 photos. I more and more appreciate the DX option.
For FX D800 photos I tend to browse them with View NX instead, which is much quicker. And then I'm just a mouseclick away from Capture NX from more serious editing.
DiploStrat May 6, 2012 8:08 AM
in response to Scott Loeffler
Don't have a D800, yet.
But I have worked with 100+ MB TIFF from scanned slides for years. And that includes working with a 2006 MBP with 2 GB of RAM.
Others will add refinements but there are several stress points in the Aperture workflow that may show the impact of larger files:
-- Basic file handling. Importing, exporting, copying, etc. may all be a bit slower depending on your HD and bus speeds, etc.
-- Browsing and similar processes should show little or no difference once all of your thumbs are rendered.
-- Loading images will be slower, especially zooming to full resolution. This will be driven by two different factors - the size of the file and the processing power of your GPU.
-- Similarly, computationally intensive Adjusting, like Shadows and Sharpening will take longer to render. Other simple Adjustments, like white balance, usually show no slow down.
The usual rules apply:
-- As much RAM as you can afford and, if you see bad slowdowns, shut off other programs. A small refinement is to avoid switching from one image to another when Adjusting as this requires the new image to be read into RAM.
-- Keep your Library on your fastest, emptiest HD. (Consider relocating your Masters onto another HD to achieve this.)
There is one unexpected side effect to D800 RAW files - if you use plug-ins that make TIFF, a colleague reports that these run to 200 MB each. Ouch!

Am I overstocked???
Hey there... Haven't been here for a long while!
I have a 20gallon long tank.
Currently, these are the inhabitants.
5 Cardinal Tetras
6 Zebra Danios
3 Sunset Platys
2 Dwarf Gourami's
1 Bristlenose Catfish
I got three of the danios, the gourami's and the catfish last night... All of the others have been in the tank for several months.
Is that too many for one tank? I have a 5gallon that I could set up if someone needs to move out...
I think your stocking level is ok, from the standpoint of the biological filter and aquarium maintainance.
You may find, however, that your Gourami's begin to develop some aggression in these tight quarters. If this happens, then I would suggest removing the Gourami's and keeping the other fish. I personally prefer to keep Dwarf Gourami's in a species setup, or in a much larger community display. Simply because they tend to become territorial as they mature.
Okay, great. Could a gourami live by itself in a 5gallon?
Trish, in the hands of a very advance fishkeeper, a pair of dwarf gourami's would probably be fine in a 5 gallon aquarium. But i am not at all comfortable recommending such. A 10 gallon would be much more acceptable.
I getcha! If they are going to be aggressive in a 20g tank, I don't imagine two of them would get along so well in a 5gallon!
So far they are all okay... The powder blue is a bit sluggish, but s/he seems to be coming around.
I may get a betta and use the 5gallon for him...
Golly.. I think MTS is getting to me!
Yayyy Bettas are cool :D
Your gouramis wouldn't necessarily be aggressive. You'll just have to watch out for signs of it.
If the two dwarf gouramis become aggressive toward one another, I think it would be fine to move one of them to a 5g by himself. Otherwise, your stocking list seems just fine. The only other possible problem you might run into is if you've got different sexes of platies, they'll eventually start reproducing and might overrun your tank since you haven't got any fish in there that will be really gung-ho about eating the platy fry.
It is important to mention that Dwarf Gourami species generally do not live well on a diet of flake foods. Make sure you are feeding a daily feeding of frozen or freeze dried foods, such as brine shrimp, tubifex, or bloodworms.
Pasfur- Right now they are getting flakes and Plankton... I'll pick up bloodworms soon though.
One question about the platies- Is it terrible to have 2 male and one female??? I just found out that that is what I have.. One of the males is very small and actually skinny in comparison to the other 2... What should I do about him?

I am a newbie to serious riding and to this forum, and this question is the one that drove me here. That is, what makes a wheel a wheel? I am looking at Xero Xr1s, and cannnot figure out if all Xr1s=Xr1s. Some shops that build wheels claim Xr1s. Others on E-bay are built in Australia. Others claim Formula Xero xr1s, others do not. So does just the rim with a Xr1 label make them Xr1, or do ALL Xr1s consist of the same hubs, spokes, and rims? This seems to be more widespread than just Xero Xr1s.
Thanks for any info.

So yesterday after work my husband decided that he would cook dinner for us. Needless to say I was very happy about that, but it doesn't happen very often and I have a hard time staying out of the kitchen and just letting him do his thing, lol. So finally he turns to me and says, "Get out of the kitchen...this is no place for a woman."
Haha...I've definitely never heard that one before! Thought you guys would enjoy it.

Coquitlam: An Emerging Post-Motordom Centre – 2
This week, a look at a municipal town centre that's trying to create a regional transit-oriented development – before transit has arrived.
By some overly simple criteria, Coquitlam City Centre (C3) is a success because it's attracting a remarkable amount of high-density development for a municipality in the upper northeast corner of the region, 25 kilometers from the downtown core, with congested arterials and without rapid transit (but at least along the West Coast Express commuter-rail route).
Now that the Evergreen Line has been funded (expected to be open in the Summer of 2016), more projects are underway (MThree, left). As a sign of commitment, even Coquitlam Centre Mall is helping to fund an additional stop – Lincoln Station.
An organzing, urbanizing element of C3(and a radical departure from the precepts of Motordom) is The High Street – a right-of-way that runs from City Hall to the shopping mall, and is meant to provide the scale and services of a traditional retail street. It's taken a couple of decades, but the vision is now essentially complete.
Even a few years ago, there were signficiant voids in the form of surface parking lots – still evident in Streetview:
Today, this:
It meets all of the 'City Comforts' rules that determine whether you have a city or a suburb.
Built to the sidewalk (i.e., property line).
Building fronts are "permeable" (i.e., no blank walls).
- No parking lots in front.
… as do the other buildings that line The High Street, some with more architectural success than others. But as a whole, whether retail or residential, High Street is scaled for the pedestrian, even as the towers rise above. It's also wide enough (perhaps a bit too much) to accommodate normal traffic lanes and one row of parking, raised slightly above grade:
The trees are tall and well spaced; there is pedestrian lighting; there are rain-protecting canopies and awnings; the street furniture, bike racks and fittings are often artful.
And then, opening up just before The High Street meets the City Hall plaza, there is Spirit Square – a gathering place, "created to help celebrate BC150 – the 150th anniversary of the founding of the Crown Colony of British Columbia," funded in part by the Province. Salmon, as you can tell, is a very popular motif: in the iconic sculpture, in the design of the gratings, and, in Coquitlam's case, still in its rivers and creeks.
The square is well-proportioned and landscaped, outfitted with lighting for special events, and clearly connected to the public spaces at City Hall and The High Street, reinforcing the diagonal that permeates an otherwise overscaled suburban block.
In this part of C3, there is an abundance of thoughtful planning, well-articulated urban design, quality materials, and a long-term commitment by all involved.
And yet …
January 23, 2013 1:47 pm
On the Coquitlam City Cnetre maps, The High Street is not diagonal – it is the street parallel to Pine Tree Way. There is a diagonal walkway into Spirit Square towards City Hall.
The square looks to be plannedreaosnably well – but they didn't go "urban" enough. The square is good because it is mid-block and not bordered by streets on all sides. However, the intensity of the uses along its edges (based on your pics) may not be sufficient to animate the square without municipal programming. It may have been more successful if there were 2-storey retails spaces enclosing it – but with Coquitlam Centre next door, renting such spaces may have been a risky challenge to any developer.
Richard permalinkJanuary 23, 2013 2:09 pm
Great point. Squares used to be the focus of community activity filled with shops and cafes. Very pedestrian oriented. Then came the streetcar which pulled all the activity to linear cooridors that is oriented to motorized transportation and not really pedestrian friendly.
The Olympic Village is a successful example of bringing the square as the focus of community activity. Hopefully more will follow.
Unfortunately, many squares seem to be design as parks with hard surfaces. I suspect the problem is a lack of expertise in North America on the design of squares.
Andrew Browne permalinkJanuary 23, 2013 2:30 pm
While the effort is admirable, unfortunately on the ground it doesn't quite … work. (I think the "And yet…" conclusion to this part of the post references this.)
On the ground the materials are off, the road widths and sizing of elements are off, the attention to detail isn't there. It feels a touch creepy, unfortunately. I've spent years in the area and wish it nothing but success, but some of the basic design parameters weren't applied successfully (street width, materials on first ~4 floors, etc).
There is also a lot of chopped up asphalt and patchwork urbanism. It isn't cohesive. It does feel a bit like central Surrey, in some respects, where you may have a 30-storey tower beside a piece of road with no sidewalk.
The arrival of the Evergreen line should hopefully amplify the presence of pedestrians within 3 yrs or so of completion, which will help with getting some "soul" in the place, but for no it's a touch stark.
Scot permalinkJanuary 23, 2013 3:27 pm
Couldn't Agree More. All the Urban design criteria is met, yet what is making a person want to linger. Its the randomness thats missing in these new developments, the rough versus the refined. A random big tree to build around, an existing building that was incorporated, an ivy covered wall, a random laneway between buildings, a five point intersection…..
January 23, 2013 8:17 pm
A lot of the randomness is removed by the planners. No blind corners, elimination of steps, uniform signage strips (ughh), continuous awnings (have you ever seen a block long project that varies its awnings?), drab colours.
These pics are also traken in winter – when the trees have leaves, I think there would be more character.
A good comparison would be to the Whistler "stroll" – which is really a nice long plaza.
What's missing in these pics is the continuous retail "spilling" onto the open space. I see units that look too much like townhouses (if they are not, in fact, townhouses).
Olympic Plaza is nice (they've certainly added a lot or art and design to jazz it up) – but it is bounded on all sides by streets. The scattering of tables to serve the food truck trade seems really out of place.
Compare to, say, The Mill Bistro at Coal Harbour Green Park. The combination of water park and patio, makes that little area feel quite lively (in summer).
January 23, 2013 8:31 pm
I also think that there's a difference between a "civic" square for official municipal functions and celebrations, and a square that feeds off commerce alone. The former are larger and programmed – the latter are smaller and active despite the absence of programming.
I think the latter can learn from outdoor lifestyle shopping centres, such as Newport Fashion Isalnd in Orange County (which, unlike the Village at Park Royal, do not have a road down the middle). Despite being an auto oriented centre (surrounded by parking), inside, the shopping areas are a collection of passages and courtyards that any municipality would dream for as "public squares". Of course, mall management controls the tenant mix, so in large part, the experience is manufactured (and well-maintained).
Scot permalinkJanuary 23, 2013 9:17 pm
Fashion Island, know it well. An even better example is the laneways off Colorado Blvd in Pasadena. Specifically Smith and Miller laneways bounded by Delancy, Union, Colorado and fair oaks. Magical…
January 24, 2013 12:54 pm
In terms of a "manfactured" village atmosphere, those hit the mark.
The other problem with Coquitlam and most of the other suburban town centres, is that they are de facto second (or third) tier retail because the "anchors" are already located at the malls.

In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.
Loan tags help lenders find loans that match certain areas of interest. You can add up to 5 tags for this loan.

This increase means that the average SSDI income will rise from $759 a month to $786 a month, in real dollars. This figure reflects the national SSDI income average only. Actual recipient increases will vary, depending on the recipient's SSDI income. SSI recipients who are paying their fair share of living expenses and who were previously eligible for the $692 rate will begin to receive $712 a month in income.
Recipients who pay their fair share of living expenses, and who are eligible for both SSDI and SSI, will receive $732 a month as opposed to last year's $712 a month. Social Security and SSI recipients should have received notices of their specific increases in December 2000. These notices should be saved because they are useful verifications of income. They are helpful when (or if) clients need to apply for other public benefits programs that require proof of income.
COLAs have been used to add Social Security benefit amounts since 1975 and are an important part of keeping recipient incomes up-to-date with the rates of inflation. SSDI and SSI rates increase automatically each year based on the COLA. Social Security calculates the yearly COLA by using the Consumer Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers. This index is also known as the CPI-W. This year's COLA, while reflecting the rate of inflation also projects the revision to the CPI released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics on Sept. 28, 2000.
For more information about this year's COLA, visit The Body's Social Security Web page at www.thebody.com/ssa/jan01/colafacts.html. The COLA notice can also be found at the Social Security's Web site www.ssa.gov.
Many Medicare ecipients are unaware that there are two components to Medicare coverage: Part A and Part B. Part A insurance, also known as hospital insurance, covers costs associated with in-patient care. Part A premiums remain free to Social Security Disability Insurance recipients as well as for Medicare eligible retirees. Medicare Part B insurance, sometimes called doctor's insurance, covers outpatient care and has traditionally had a monthly charge for coverage. Although this increase may seem relatively minor, it has the potential to adversely affect many Medicare recipients who are on fixed incomes.
If you are having difficulties paying for the Part B premium, consider applying for Medicare Buy-In assistance. Medicare Buy-In is actually not one program but a collection of programs that help pay for all or varying portions of the Part B premium as well as other costs associated with Medicare coverage. In order to qualify for Medicare Buy-In assistance, applicants must be eligible for Medicare, have less than $6,000 in assets, excluding one house and one car, and must meet strict monthly income limitations. There are five Medicare buy-in programs, described below.
