VOLUME 92 NUMBKK 2 CITY FINAL 10 CENTS CEDAR RAPIDS, IOWA, FRIDAY, JANUARY 11, 1974 ASSOCIATED PRESS, UPI, NEW YORK TIMES RE-BLAST THR AVERTED By United Press International Secretary of State Kissingei flew to the Middle East Friday to try to save the faltering Israel-Egyptian troop withdraw- al negotiations. Egypt indicatet it would reject a reported Israeli withdrawal plan worked out by U.S. and Israeli leaders. New artillery and mortar duels were reported along the Suez Canal front and Israel re ported two of its soldiers killed and five wounded. Tension re- mained high, and the influential Cairo newspaper Al Gomhouria said Egypt cannot permit the current situation to continue in definitely. Syria reported that its ar tillery shelled Israeli troops try ing to improve their positions on the Golan Heights Friday am said there were artillery duels and patrol clashes. Israel de- nied a Syrian report that 10 Israeli soldiers were killed or wounded in clashes during the night. Madrid Visit Kissinger arrived in Madrk Friday for two hours of. talk; with Spanish Foreign Minister Pedro Cortina before flying on to the Egyptian resort Aswan for talks with Egyptian President Anwar Sadat. Kissinger will consult Israel Prime Minister Golda Meir in Jerusalem and may pay visits to Jordan and Saudi Arabia -Whether he would visit Syria was not known; Syria has re fused to join the Geneva peace talks. The most authoritative state ment of the Egyptian position came from Mohammed Has saneiri Heikal, editor of the se mi-official Cairo newspaper A Ahram and a confidante o! Sadat. He editorially rejectee the reported Israeli proposals Friday, indicating Sadat woulc do the same. The Israeli announced dis cussed by Kissinger and Israel Defense Minister Moshe Dayan in Washington last week. They are said to include an Israeli withdrawal 20 miles from the- canal, a thinning out of Egyptian forces on the east bank, setting up of a U. N buffer force and negotiations to reopen the canal to all shipping, including Israeli. "Break Front" These proposals Heikal said, are aimed at producing a par- tial settlement with Egypt that would "weaken Egypt's self-con- fidence, break the united Arab front, sow dissension between Egypt and the Soviet Union anr isolate Egypt." He said Egypt is "on the alert, knows its objec- tive and how to reach it." Tel Aviv dispatches indicated (he Israeli proposals were not final. Foreign Minister Abba Eban said on national television Thursday that "we shall nol formulate any programs until we have received the visiting American secretary of state." "No agreement has been asked of the U. S. for any de- tailed Eban said. "We are very far from any ability lo say that there is a concrete Isacli program that the U. S. is being asked lo achieve Egyptian agreement to. The situation is not at such an advanced state."

Middleman Is Cited on Bread Price WASHINGTON (AP) The government says rising middle- man costs, not record farm prices for wheat, have account- ed for most bread price in- creases since huge grain sales were made to the Soviet Union 18 months ago. An analysis of bread costs, compiled by agriculture de- partment economists, shows that a one-pound loaf sold in supermarkets in July, 1972, for an average of 24.5 cents. Last November the same size loaf cost 31.5 cents, the department said. The increase included a boosl of 2.7 cents in the cost of all farm ingredients used. Of that, wheat flour, the main item, ac- counted for 2.2 cents. About 4.3 Cents But other markups, includ- ing margins for flour millers and bakers, added about 4.3 cents per loaf to the retail cost during the 18-month span, ac- cording to a study by the de- partment's economic research service. The figures, however, did noi indicate what .may happen to bread prices in the next few months. Neither do they reflec sharp increases in wheat prices since November. Bakers say huge wheat ex- ports are siphoning off reserves to such an extent. that breae prices mty soar, perhaps to per 24-ounce loaf if shipments are not curbed until, the new harvest is ready. At that rate a 16-ounce loaf used by the economists as the basic indicator, would cos about 65 cents in retail stores That would be more than double the price reported for Novem- ber. Through June Department officials, who are opposed to mandatory expor control in any form, say there is enough wheat for flour through next June. They say there is no chance of bread prices going up as much as bakers say is possi- ble. The department figures show the farm value of wheat in a one-pound loaf of bread actually declined from 5.6 cents last Sep- tember, when wheat prices were at a near record, to 4.8 cents in November. Meantime, according to the statistics, the retail price rose two cents per loaf. Other farm ingredients, such as shortening and milk products added slight- ly to the rise but middleman costs accounted for only 1.9 cents, the department said. Tell Oil Import But Not Source WASHINGTON (AP) Secre- tary of Commerce Dent said Friday that the government is reporting all oil imports but is no longer saying where the oil is coming from. "This is being done in order to encourage leakage from Arab countries desiring to continue shipmenls to the U. S. and as sist them in avoiding recrimina- Dent said. He said he was denying charges that the government is nol reporting all oil imports. Die in Propane Tank Fire, Explosion WEST ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) A propane storage tank ex- iloded in the middle of a large apartment complex early Fri- day, heavily damaging two ipartment buildings. Authorities said at least four persons were tilled and nine injured. Officials said the explosion oc- curred as firemen arrived on he scene to fight a fire which .ruck loading the storage tank. Most apartment residents had icen evacuated before the ex- )losion but authorities expressed :oncern that some may have )een trapped in the building by he explosion. "Very Concerned" "We've asked everyone to check in with us because we're very concerned we'll be finding :ome bodies said Rus- sell Scheibel, director of public safety. The known dead included three firemen and a woman res- ident of one of the buildings. Of the injured, four were ad- mitted t-o hosnita's where their satis- .TRISHA MORRIS, 3, hugged her father, Thomas, 31, of Des Moines after being credited with saving him from serious injury. Pinned under an auto Thursday, he directed the tot how to free him and she did as she was told. Iowa Girl, 3, Is Credifed i f c rv a i t ith Saving Dad s Life By Gordon Hanson DES MOINES (AP) "I just thank God that Trisha was says Thomas Morris, 31, who lay pinned under the near-crushing force of his auto and turned in des- peration to his 3-year-old daughter for help. Morris was working beneath the car at his Des Moines home when a jack slipped and the auto fell, pinning him in a painful and almost helpless position. Only his left arm was free, and only Trisha was there to aid him. Mrs. Morris was at work and an older daughter was in school. "The front end of the car fell on my face and chest and my right arm was Morris said Thursday, "i knew I had to get out of there in a hurry." "Trisha was in the garage with me when it happened. The car still had its tires on, so I didn't get the full weight." Started Hollering "I started hollering. I don't know for sure if I passed out I may have but when I started shouting Trisha came to sec what was the mailer." Morris said he didn't want to frighten the child, but he needed her to realize the situ- ation was desperate and that she must respond. "I just told her 'Daddy is hurt' and I asked her to get the jack from under Ihe car and put it where I could reach it with my left Morris said. "She cried a little bit, but I calmed her down and she did what I asked her to do." He said Trisha placed the jack near his free hand, but he was unable to raise the auto without a jack handle. Got Screwdriver "I asked her to get me a screwdriver, which she did, and I used it .in the jack to raise the car off he said. If it hadn't been for Trisha, Morris said, "I'd have Iain there about two hours before my wife got home." Morris, employed by a pol- ethylene bag manufacturer in Des Moines, called police to take him lo a hospital after the accident Wednesday. He was treated for head lacera- tions and minor chest injuries. Patrolman Marion Stanford, who took Morris to the hospi- tal, said if Trisha hadn't, obeyed her father, "he'd be gone. He could not have sur- vived the weight of (lie car on his chest for long." Morris added: "I'm pretty proud of her." Say Shortage In Gas Cosf Jobs WASHINGTON The government said Friday that actual and threatened shortages of gasoline cost the nation about payroll jobs in Decem- ber. The labor department's Bu- reau of Labor Statistics said about half the decline came at the service station and car deal- er levels. Others principally affected were hotels, entertain- ment, transportation and utili- ties. The data, gathered from em- ployers, followed by one week the regular monthly employ- ment report showing unemploy- ment increased last month lo 4.9 percent from 4.7 percent in November. The payroll data is normally released at Ihe same time as the basic employment figures based on a survey of households. This lime is was de- layed because of what the BLS called collection, transportation and processing problems caused by the energy crisis and the holiday period. Officials stressed that the data was gathered during Ihe week of Dec. 9-15 and did nol reflect large numbers of layoffs announced aflcr that in the air- line and car manufacturing in duslries. lad broken out on tanker aged by the fire and perhaps as many as 50 ears destroyed. Frank Knodle of Ihe Ameri- can Red Cross said "it would be a ball park guess to say 750 families have been evacuated." Most were taken to temporary shelters set up nearby. Identified Two John Lannon, administrator of Divine Redeemer Memorial hospital, identified two of the dead firemen as Capt. John Heuer, 42, and Erling Arm- strong, 43. Heuer was the No. 2 man in the West St. Paul fire department. The hospital identified an- other of the dead as Mrs. Dobie Peterson, a resident of one of the buildings. At St. Paul Ramsey hospital, a spokesman said fireman Rich- ard Neikirk, 32, was also among the dead. Jerry Bertsch, who lived in an apartment near the explosion scene, said, "The firemen were just about to spray the fire when the tank blew up. A fire- ball went at least 150 feet into the air. It looked like an atom Fiery Gas Rig Driven Into Field Conditions ranged from factory to good bv midmo-njne. bomb. Five D'he'S were treated and "Room Lit Up" Jackie Frankfurt, who lives in I Scheibel said firemen had just arrived "and were hooking up the hoses when it just blew up." The explosion, which occurred about a.m., sent a huge fireball into the air that could be seen in downtown St. Paul, some four miles away. Scheibel said the storage tank held gallons and the tanker truck had a capacity of gallons. Shell Left With temperatures at 6 de-j grees below zero, flames swept the 66-unit Bellows Court apart- ment building and spread to the 33-unit Charlton Arms building, both three-story structures. Only a shell of the Bellows Court building was left intact, witnesses said. An estimated 750 families an apartment more than a block from the explosion, said, "I was sleeping when the explosion rocked our buildings. My whole room just lit up. It was all red. I thought a car down in the street underneath my window had exploded." Windows throughout the area By Ford Clark CORALVILLE An Ains- worth truck driver, Walter Rhodes, 37, was credited with the possible saving of'many lives following a propane gas truck explosion in Coralvillc Friday morning. According to Dick Meyers, 39, owner of the Hawk-I truck stop, "An employe of mine, Ralph 'Pete' Hunt, 31, of Iowa City, was repairing a propane truck in our shop. "Hunt told me that a plug blew on the tank and he rushed to open the doors to air out the fumes. Before he could reach the doors, the fumes were ignit- ed from the pilot light in the water heater in the shop. Shattered Windows "It caused an explosion which blew out every window in the shop (approximately 80 panes of The force of the explosion drove Hunt to his knees and singed his mustache and heard. The force of the explosion rattled dishes and glasses in the restaurant at the truck stop where about 40 people were eat- ing. Rhodes, who was eating breakfast in the restaurant, headed for the back door which were evacuated frorii 15 apart- ment buildings in a four-block area as a precautionary mea- sure.

Charles Deutsch said .he and his wife, Evelyn, were awakened by the Bellows Court building j manager and his wife running up and down the hallways to sound the alarm. Deutsch said their building was already burning badly and when they reached the opposite end of the building, "it blew sky high. We ran for our car and got it and drove out of there." Deutsch said he and his wife fled in only their overcoats and pajamas. "They told us to get out, to get out in a he said. "I just grabbed our coats and left. I even forgot to bring my glasses."

Truck stop employes warned Rhodes not'to enter the shop because of the danger of further explosion. But Rhodes said, "I could see that the truck was on fire and someone had to get it out of there." He said he could see there wasn't time to open the doors to the shop so, "I just drove the truck through the doors and got it as far away from the station as I could." He drove it into a field south of the truck stop. Rhodes then used a fire extin- guisher from the truck to cool down the tank. When firemen arrived at scene, they found flames had been extinguished. Chief's Praise Coralville Fire Chief Slade Russell said, "Believe me, I couldn't thank Rhodes enough. Except for his quick action, there is no telling how many people might have been killed. "At the very least we would have bad to attempt to extin- guish the blaze within the con- fines of the garage where the pilot lights from the heaters could easily have triggered another explosion." Meyers said Rhodes did "one great job. Just a while back in a similar incident, there was a second explosion and a few peo- ple were killed at St. Paul, Minn."

Whether you know Sweden as the home of the midnight sun, IKEA, Volvo, or a rich history of Vikings, one or two study abroad semesters here will confirm or break your stereotypes. The country uniquely combines modern restaurants and social scenes with untouched forests and secluded cabin getaways.
Popular Destinations
There are two cities - Stockholm and Uppsala - that are most popular for international students. It just so happens that these two cities are also renowned for their cultural richness, beauty, and character.
Sweden's political and economic epicenter might be small in size, but it is overflowing with research projects, music festivals, fashion shows, and corporate dealings.
In fact, the entire city of Stockholm is built on fourteen different islands each of which has its own character. For instance, Ostermalm is the posh, ritzy, and upscale island whereas Old Town, the city's first island, is composed of narrow streets and aged buildings. In short: if you're seeking a study abroad city that combines rich history with growth and modernity, Stockholm fits the bill.
Uppsala might not be Sweden's largest or most energetic city, but it is home to Uppsala University, one of Scandinavia's best universities and one of the world's top 100 universities. The Fyris River splits the city into the western historic block and the residential/commercial eastern bloc. Uppsala is a great destination to study at university that's surrounded by natural beauty.
Planning Your Trip
Whenever you decide to study abroad, it's always important to have a general idea about several areas of student life in your overseas country. Knowing about language, housing availability, and academic life are arguably the most important of those areas.
Most Swedes speak excellent English so you're in luck! For those students wishing to learn Swedish or improve their pre-existing language skills, NRCSA offers a Language Study Program in Sweden. Students stay with teachers and take Swedish classes to maximize exposure to the Swedish language.
Whether it's dormitory or apartment living, your study abroad experience will be enhanced if you feel comfortable where you're living. Home-stays encourage greater cultural and language immersion but many Swedes speak English. So, living with your own age group in a university might be preferable. Whatever your decision may be, there will pros and cons of each option. Be sure to choose a program that offers the type of accommodation that you prefer (otherwise you may end up in a living situation that detracts from your overall experience!)
Academic Life:
Sweden boasts more than 60 higher-education institutions (study abroad students compose 8% of Sweden's student body...stor!). Studying in Sweden does not require a proficiency in Swedish as English is the primary language of instruction (whew). What's more important are your academic interests. Each school has a specific strength: Umea University is known for environmental studies; Konstfack University is renowned in Scandinavia for its arts and design program; Stockholm University is known for science and engineering. CIEE is one program that offers an Arts and Science program at University of Uppsala.
Choose an area of study that you wish to specialize in and let the international environment of your study abroad program in Sweden kick your studies up a notch!
Buying a smorgasbord of smorgasbords will definitely put a dent in your wallet. You need to be prepared to invest in your Swedish experience. If your university's financial aid package does not extend to studying abroad, there are definitely other options. You'll find some of them below.

Does not work with Panasonic Cordless Phone
This review is from: Panasonic 2.5mm Headset plug for cordless phones
Pros: Mute button on cord
Cons: The headset plugs into my Panasonic cordless phone, however the phone does not recognize and utilize it.
Other Thoughts: Cheap off brand headsets have worked fine previously, I was hoping for better quality though.

Perfect Backup for XBox 360
This review is from: Panasonic 2.5mm Headset plug for cordless phones
Pros: I purchased this headset going on very little information. Major brand name, very low price point. The headset worked flawlessly with my XBox 360. My primary headset is the M$ wireless 360 headset which is fine, but when the battery dies so does the game experience. I needed a backup for myself as well as a second headset for guests.
Cons: The mute feature is a "Press to Mute" button. There is not a way to lock the headset in mute mode. Easily solved...when I need extended must time I simply unplug the headset.
Other Thoughts: Over all, this gets a 4 eggs for nearly perfectly meeting my wants. It easily met all needs. If only the mute button would lock I would probably buy two more of these exclusively for XBox 360 usage.

An autopsy shows that a University of North Carolina student was drunk when he was shot four times and killed by a police officer.
The North Carolina Medical Examiner's Office released the findings after toxicology results on 21-year-old Courtland Smith of Houston found alcohol in his system, but no sedative drugs.
Smith was killed in August after a highway confrontation with police in Randolph County. Smith said in a 911 call he was driving at high speed and wanted to kill himself, but he repeatedly told the dispatcher he wanted officers to stop him.
The autopsy found the fraternity president suffered gunshot wounds to the lower abdomen, the left thigh, the upper back and a fourth bullet that passed through his left forearm into his upper abdomen.

Shirley Corriher's Touch of Grace Biscuits
Total Time
Prep 15 mins
Cook 25 mins
If you watch Alton Brown's Good Eats show, you know Shirley Corriher. These biscuits will curl your toes, they're so good :)
Ingredients Nutrition
- 473.18 ml tenda-bake self-rising flour
- 59.14 ml sugar
- 2.46 ml salt
- 59.16 ml shortening
- 158.51 ml cream
- 177.44 ml buttermilk, as needed (or more)
- 236.59 ml tenda-bake all-purpose flour, for shaping
- 29.58 ml butter, melted
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Spray a 9-inch cake pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- Combine self-rising flour, sugar and salt. Work shortening in with your fingers until there are no large lumps. Stir in cream, then buttermilk, until it resembles cottage cheese. (Very sticky) Add more buttermilk, if needed.
- Spread all-purpose flour in shallow pan. Scoop dough (use a #30) into flour, leaving space between each. Coat with flour, gently shape into a round, shaking off excess flour. Place biscuit into prepared pan, smooched up against its neighbor. Continue scooping and shaping.
- Bake until lightly browned, 20 to 25 minutes. Brush with melted butter, invert onto plate, then back onto another. Cut biscuits to serve.

I just love biscuits for breakfast and once I saw the photo of these in the "All you can cook" special in the games forum, I knew I had to try them. Thanks under12parsecs for the recommendation!!! These turned out perfectly for texture and moisture, these are on the sweet side for me, so I will probably only use 1/2 of the amount next time. I think the key to great biscuits is to use sticky dough and less handling, such as this recipe states to do!! Thanks for sharing a great biscuit recipe.
This is truly love in biscuit form. Consider my toes curled! I had never tried these with self-rising flour before, but they are completely and totally delicious and SOOOOO flavorful and light.

The apartment is well and is nice, but in need of updating.
Die Wohnung liegt gut und ist nett, aber auch renovierungsbedürftig.
Very nice apartment, well located in old Istanbul, very nice comfortable clean and quiet. Two very pleasant terraces (4th floor without elevator). We were also warmly welcomed by Serra gave us good advice. We loved it!
Trés bel appartement , bien situé dans le vieux Istanbul , joli tres comfortable propre et calme . Deux terrasses trés agreables ( 4ieme etage sans ascenceur ). Nous avons aussi été chaleureusement acceuillis par Serra qui nous a donné de bons conseils. Nous avons adoré !
The apartment is in a great central location in sultanhamet. The rooms, the facilities and the views are very good and are priced accordingly. The staircase is in need of renovation and report something musty. The decor of the rooms is attractively. The beds are very good, depending on an additional blanket for a double bed are desirable. Contact the Owner has convinced us.
Family Körbitz
Das Appartment liegt superzentral in Sultanhamet. Die Räume, die Ausstattung und die Aussicht sind sehr gut und entsprechen dem Preis. Das Treppenhaus ist renovierungsbedürftig und richt etwas muffig. Die Einrichtung der Räume ist ansprechend. Die Betten sind sehr gut, je eine zusätzliche Bettdecke pro Doppelbett sind wünschenswert. Der Kontakt zum Vermieter hat uns überzeugt.
Familie Körbitz
Great location of the apartment with a beautiful view of the Hagia Sophia and a bit of the Bosphorus.
Tolle Lage der Wohnung mit schönem Blick auf die Hagia Sophia und ein bißchen auf den Bosporus.
Aufgrund einer extrem langen Bearbeitungszeit einer Stornierung durch die Wimdu-Administration habe ich EUR 80.-- mehr für eine andere Widmu-Buchung bezahlen müssen, weil der Preis inzwischen gestiegen ist.
Die Beschreibung der Wohnung ist nicht ganz exakt: die Klimaanlage ist nur im Schlafzimmer vorhanden, das Wohnzimmer, dass grösser ist, hat keine.
Die Lage ist perfekt, die Wohnung sehr angenehm. Erstellen Sie aber eine Mängelliste beim Beziehen der Wohnung. Flecken auf dem Sofa, auf dem Teppich, lockere Schrauben der Hand- und Badetuch-Halter, etc.
Sonst alles ok.
Lovely well equipped apartment in a nice and quiet area close to Taksim Square, tram ..
The garden remains significant
Just across a small supermarket
The host was very helpful with any request.
I recommend.
Note that the area is located in the hills
It goes a bit at times!
We had a pleasant stay in Istanbul
We will return
thank you!
Charmant appartement bien équipé dans un quartier sympathique et calme proche de la place Taksim,tramway..
Le jardinet reste appréciable
Juste en face une supérette
L'hôte était très disponible pour toutes demandes.
Je recommande.
A noter que le quartier est situé dans les hauteurs
Ca monte un peu par moment !
Nous avons passé un agréable séjour à Istanbul
Nous reviendrons
merci !
We had a great stay. The team led by Ogul were all very helpful. It is even for us going gone on the first day to gewechseln for our money (Euro in Turkish Lira). Just great !!!!
Wir hatten einen tollen Aufenthalt. Das Team um Ogul waren alle sehr hilfsbereit. Er ist sogar wegen uns los gegangen am ersten Tag, um für uns unser Geld ( Euro in türkisch Lira) zu gewechseln. Einfach klasse!!!!
Apartment well located and beautifully team while being very quiet. Recommend it highly.
Appartement bien équipe et magnifiquement situé tout en étant très calme. À recommander fortement.
Beautiful Flat! Good Service! And once a week there´s a big market right in front of your house, which is very fun to brouse. You´re also living door to door with very friendly, real Istanbul citizens.
Unfortunatelly we heared gunshots not far away from the flat at one night. But i´m very shure this will not happen this often. All in all it was a wonderfull stay in a really wonderfull and save flat.
Thanks a lot
The apartment in Istanbul was great. It was in a real nice neighbourhood and very near to Taksim square. Lots of nice shops, restaurants and bars close by. The apartment itself had everything you might need for a (short) stay and was very clean and comfortable. It has a small garden were you can park you bicycle (which was very convenient for us!) or dry your washing. In summer it might even be possible to sit outside and have a bbq (which was available as well)! The host and the owner were both very helpful and communicative. When the wifi was not woring the host arranged a solution very quickly. We had a very nice stay in Istanbul and in the aparment, if friend or family will visit we will defenitly advise them to rent this apartment.

Tea For Two
Another Saturday brings another wonderful Sketch for You To Try. I don't know how Jen does it, but she keeps designing fantastic sketch after fantastic sketch, week after week after week. This month's line-up is one of the best ever! To see this week's sketch, meet May's superstar guest designer, and see Jen's and the GD's samples, head over to i{heart}2stamp. You'll also want to check out the rest of this week's SFYTT samples:
To play along, add yourself to the Mr. Linky form on Jen's post. If you upload to SCS, remember to use keyword SFYTT!
I've used Papertrey's new Tea for Two set and a color combo pulled from one of the inspiration photos (Heather's) in Papertrey's current Spring Fling Challenge. The teapot is stamped in Ocean Tides, trimmed out and mounted on a shape cut with Spellbinders' Mega Curved Rectangle Nestabilities. The sentiment is stamped in SU Certainly Celery. The punched border is done with the Fiskars lace punch. I also used Papertrey's Background Basics: Spots & Dots to add the little white circle pattern to the Spring Moss card stock. The button and ribbon are also by PTI.
Are you a tea drinker? If so, what are some of your favorite teas? I'm always looking for new blends to try. My all-time favorite tea is Jasmine, but I also love a really good Earl Grey and most spiced flavors.
Have a fun weekend!
Stamps: Tea for Two and Background Basics: Spots & Dots (Papertrey Ink)
Paper: PTI Vintage Cream, Kraft, Aqua Mist, Spring Moss
Ink: PTI Ocean Tides and Vintage Cream, SU Certainly Celery
Accessories: PTI ribbon and button, Fiskars lace border punch, paper piercer, sewing machine, foam adhesive

Since 1991, San Francisco-native Jeanie Fuji has acted as the traditional Japanese okami (land lady or female inn keeper) of the Fujiya Ryokan (traditional wooden inn) in the Ginzan Onsen (hot springs) area.
That year, she married Fuji Atsushi, the son and heir of the 350-year-old inn and started her rigorous training under her mother-in-law in the art of serving customers, true Japanese style. This included preparing all meals, washing the dishes and cleaning all rooms. The goal was to make sure every need of every customer was anticipated and met following the age-old inn tradition of providing the right amount of service at the right time.
Fuji describes the types of things she had to learn. �Sliding a fusuma door open and shut, greeting guests, bringing them meals on small o-zen tables... everything has to be done a certain way, following the old traditions. And I had to learn how to talk with the guests using polite, formal Japanese. I often wanted to give up and go home to the United States. But now I love my work here,� she says in a Japanese publication.
By the time she had a good decade of experience behind her, Fuji had gained a celebrity okami status that she modestly and reluctantly dismisses. By 2004, she and her husband hired Tokyo-based celebrity architect Kengo Kuma to raise the personal service of the inn to even higher level. Kuma overtook a complete remodelling of the inn that reopened in July 2006. Kuma is behind many well-known buildings, including the Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessey headquarters in Tokyo.
The capacity of the thoroughly wooden, three-story Fujiya Inn was reduced to only eight rooms with full capacity at 16 persons. Considering the location of the inn, right in the middle of a relatively remote rural area known for its hot springs and natural beauty, the level of luxury in the inn is astonishing.
Kuma has been able to combine traditional Japanese simplicity with international tastes and needs, yet avoided the dumbed-down, westernized version of Japanese style. In fact, Fuji has written an autobiography on this subject Nipponjin ni wa, Nihon ga Tarinai (Japanese people are not Japanese enough), in which she emphasizes that it is important for modern Japanese to recognize and re-claim the value of their own millennia-old customs and history.
At Fujiya Inn, you feel that you are part of an ancient, authentic and almost organic history that seems to be seeping through every seam and screen here. Many aspects contribute to this effect. One is Kuma�s brilliant use of layers, screens as thin as veils, to both hide and reveal space. The omnipresent samushiko bamboo screens by craft master Hideo Nakata (no, he�s not the horror-movie director) and his son required 1.2 million four-millimetre-wide strips of bamboo. Green stained-glass panes by Masato Shida and the prolific use of the handmade, richly textured Echizen Japanese paper add to the feeling of lightness and transparency.
The organic, natural quotient of the inn is also boosted by the baths and the hand-prepared, fresh food. The inn has five beautiful private hot springs baths including an open-air bath on the top floor. The food is based on a regular washoku (Japanese cuisine) menu and features many edible plants and other local ingredients. Fuji�s favourites include the sansai, mountain vegetables, including kogomi (ostrich fern fiddleheads) and urui (plantain lily petioles.) The only exception to this local-only rule is Cafe Wisteria (English for fuji), open only in the summer months, and offering international coffees and cakes.
To get to the Fujiya Inn, take the 3.5-hour trip on the Yamagata Bullet Train (Shinkansen) from Tokyo and then get a bus to the hot springs. Or fly from Tokyo to the Yamagata airport and arrange for a pick up by the inn. By Tuija Seipell
In an attempt to revolutionise the process of car design, David Hilton, founder of Motorcity Europe, along with C2P Automotive, created the MC1 Supercar in just three months. Hilton, who spent much of the formative part of his career working for Ford, believes the MC1 will be production-ready by 2011, if he finds the right client. Presently, the mid-engine, V10-powered supercar has no set identity or branding. We�re willing to bet a recognisable logo will soon sit neatly within its grill.
By quickly translating computer-based design into engineering, Motorcity Europe achieved a radically different approach to supercar design in regard to its proportions and manufacturing processes. While certain aspects of the exterior appear entirely futuristic from nearly every angle, the MC1 looks like one of those cars we always dreamed we could afford. Fortunately, all anyone can see right now is the outside - the interior will be ready this spring. By Andrew J Wiener
A house attic does not evoke images of style and chic design. Rather, we find ourselves thinking of dark, cobweb-infested, damp and dreary crawl spaces. We think of attics as leftover space under the roof where we abandon unwanted stuff - outdated clothing, old books, grandma's hat boxes, grandpa's hunting gear, coin collections and bags of seashells from that long-ago beach holiday.
But as space in our urban areas is at a premium - not a square metre can go to waste. Architects and designers are starting to see the potential of this extra space, and offer solutions that meet the needs of the most demanding style freaks. Sunlight, additional rooms, extra bathrooms - it is all possible in the attic. Starchitects around the world have made dramatic rooflines trendy, so we can all give up on our visions of the embarrassing drywalled and pine-paneled disasters that attics tended to morph into, every time we tried to make them livable.
Within very few square metres, designers are finding space for sleeping, cooking and eating, and using the sloping rooflines to create impressive skylight windows.
We can all see the delightful benefits of maximising the amount of livable and usable space � even if it involves clearing away the precious collections of bric-a-brac we've spent generations accumulating. Ample sunlight penetrating the attic apartment means than even nocturnal arachnids are sent packing. By Andrew J Wiener and Tuija Seipell

We came across this clever print ad for Vespa scooters. Visually effective and well executed, it is playful, simple and gets the point across fast (no pun intended). Nice work team Vespa. By Brendan McKnight
Publicity stunts don't come on much of a larger scale than this. To celebrate the launch of the new Fiat 500 in London last night, one of the vehicles was placed into a pod on the London Eye where it will live for the next 2 weeks.
The launch of this 'time capsule' was at 8pm, exactly 500 hours into the year and as one would expect for such an event, was a star-studded affair and included a light show that lit up the river Thames, and performances by Mika and The Feeling.
The car itself is a remodel of the original version which was first presented 50 years ago, and is Fiat's go at re-releasing a retro classic, as VW (Beetle) and BMW (Mini) have arguably both done quite successfully in recent years.
The 500 was recently named the 2008 Car of the Year and has been praised in numerous auto publications. By
Brendan McKnight
Here at TCH, we've been noticing architects around the world transforming church buildings into various types of structures including houses, retail stores, hotels, libraries, and well, cooler churches.
After successfully converting a water tower into a living space, Marnix Van Der Meer and Rolf Bruggink's Utrecht-based architecture studio, Zecc has done it again — this time perhaps a little more controversial. Here they transformed an old chapel into a spacious house — carefully respecting and enhancing the character of the original building.
The design team chose to keep many of the original features — including the high gothic stained glass windows and the original choir organ. To allow more light to enter the space, they cut a Mondrian-inspired glass window into the front of the house facing the street — perhaps paying homage to Rietveld's nearby infamous Schroder House. The entire living area has been whitewashed, whilst the private spaces above were painted dark.
And only 150km away in Maastricht an 800 year old Dominican church was transformed into the newest addition to the Selexyz book store chain — the Selexyz Dominicanen — housing an impressive collection of books not only in Dutch, but in English as well.
The challenge for the Amsterdam based architects Merkx + Girod was staying true to the original character and charm of the church, whilst also achieving a desirable amount of commercial space. A multi-storey steel structure that houses the majority of the books was constructed and placed along the central nave of the church under the vaulted ceiling.
Located in Finland in the Ostrobothnia region, near the campus of Helsinki University on the eastern side of the city, JKMM Architects won a national competition to design the Vikkii Urban Centre. The focal point of the Centre is a church clad in aspen shingles that have turned gray since construction was completed in 2005. Throughout Europe new church design is not synonymous with modernity, so when the Parish of Helsinki approached the architects at JKMM, they welcomed the opportunity to contribute to a newly developed urban area housing approximately 13,000 residents.
Many Scandinavian churches serve as civic spaces for the surrounding community to gather. Of course sacral characteristics are still present, and the Viikki Church's central space and adjoining congregation hall have a light-filled cathedral-like appearance.
The architects chose timber for practically every surface of the interior space as well: oaken doors, spruce ceiling and walls, and aspen furniture allow the congregation to feel as though they are gathering within a forest. Large windows open the space even further onto the surrounding landscape of the countryside. The church does not sit in isolation, however a new market was built to the north and an urban park sits to the south.
Divisive as it may be to alter houses built for God, these architects do not need to preach to the choir about their immaculate conceptions in renovations, we're sold. By Andrew J Wiener and Brendan McKnight.

To celebrate the 3rd annual PARK(ing) Day, San Francisco based art collective Rebar decided to take things a little further, with their pedal-powered park on wheels; the Parkcycle.
This one-day global event encourages artists, activists and everyday citizens to temporarily transform parking spots into "PARK(ing)" spaces: temporary public parks. This time around an astounding 180 parks in 47 cities were created.
"The process of rethinking the ways streets are used is an important first step in making permanent changes in our cities to improve the quality of urban human habitat," says John Bela, cofounder of Rebar.
The Parkcycle, which can be cycled by a team of three, but enjoyed by many more on it's 7m lawn, features a 5m tall tree and solar charged battery which run's the cycles breaks.
With a top speed of 5mph, it is hardy going to get a yellow jersey in the Tour de France, but makes for an incredibly scenic picnic. By Brendan McKnight
Opened in late fall 2007, Electric Birdcage at Haymarket in the heart of London's West End, has been receiving mixed reviews. One thing is certain, though, it IS getting a reaction from everyone who visits.
Electric Birdcage is a magnificently weird combination of Alice in Wonderland and Russian Aristocrat, dim sum parlor and late-night cocktail bar, sophisticated party venue and silly funhouse.
The owners, brothers Richard and Anthony Traviss, knew where to go for eccentric and totally extravagant interiors: to London's beloved venue designer Shaun Clarkson. His handiwork can be seen, for example, at La Pigalle, Covent Garden's Denim, Play Room, Profile, Power's Acoustic Room, The Bloomsbury Ballroom, Atlantic Bar & Grill and Jerusalem.
Electric Birdcage's surrealistic interior includes a Fibonacci-style patterned floor, tables made of tree roots, gigantic pink hands for chairs, lavish Vegas-style mirrors, imposing black stallions, two snarling black polymer panthers, a carousel bar and iron birdcage chandeliers dangling from a pink ceiling. Even the DJ operates from a birdcage.
Capacity crowd of 300, served by cute staff in retro airline get-up, can order Pan-Asian fare by head chef Somporn Khamsaenphan all day, and stay until 4 am enjoying cocktails by mixologist Chad Shields. You and seven friends can share the signature Electric Birdcage bowl filled with a mix of champagne, Absolut Raspberri peach schnapps, Cointreau, Absolut Citron, strawberry puree, gomme syrup, orange juice, fresh raspberries and blueberries. That should elicit a reaction, if nothing else will. By Tuija Seipell
After designing the prize winning Bergisel Ski Jump, the city of Innsbruck invited Zaha Hadid back to design four new stations and a cable-stayed suspension bridge for the Nordkettenbahn - the city's cable railway system. Continuing their global contribution to the seamlessness between computer generated design and construction, the ZH Architects studied glacial formations and ice movement and translated their ideas with similar design technologies used by the automotive and aircraft industry to achieve varying degrees of movement and circulation in structure.
Residents and visitors can now embark trains in the city's centre at the new Congress Station and reach the summit of Seegrube Mountain in 20 minutes. Each progressive station crosses the Inn River and then ascends the Nordkette Mountain terminating 863 metres high at the Hungerburg Station. Passengers then transfer to cable cars that travel to the top at 2,300 metres.
ZH Architects' signature fluidity in design was carried through here with the innovative use of doublecurvature glass in construction. The design could not be actualised without inventive production methods such as CNC milling and thermoforming. Each unique station looks at though winter melted down the mountainside flowing freely across the new suspension bridge and into the river. By Andrew J Wiener>

So last night
I went to start a load of laundry and noticed a pair of my ODD's jeans were wet...with pee! I asked her about it and she completely denied everything. i was like jenna, what happened baby? She kept saying she had no idea. I was like jenna your pants are covered in pee, you arent in trouble but please tell me what happened. (FYI, she is 8, in the 3rd grade)
Well finally, she broke down crying and told me that it happened at school during math. That she had her hand raised trying to ask but the teacher was busy on her computer, and she couldnt hold it. I was like why didnt you call out the teachers name and get her attention? She said bc she didnt want to get in trouble for interrupting her class and have to move her name on the behavior board. I then asked her why didn't she tell her teacher what happened, bc I could have come and picked her up. She started crying harder and said bc she knew the kids would tease her for it!
It upset me so bad! I told her that if it ever happened again she needs to call out the teachers name and get her attention, and to not be afraid of getting in trouble! I also sent the teacher an email to make her aware of what happened in her class, and that I was upset that she was so distracted by her computer that she didn't notice a student with their hand raised and that my DD feels like she will get in trouble for trying to get the teachers attention. I told her that I told my DD that if she ever had an emergency again, that she needed to get her attention and not be afraid of getting in trouble. I also asked the teacher if she could please pull my ODD aside and let her know that this was ok.
My poor baby! I felt horrible!
