What choice would you make?
Given in the following examples that every main road is a 50MPH road. In every case, to take the main route given you will have to take and hold the lane for the half mile to mile it takes to get to the other side.
What would you do?
The first example is a construction zone it is uphill on a major arterial, there is only one narrow lane going each way. The traffic tends to be heavy. Your cycling speed uphill would be about 10MPH. The edge of the road is a K rail concrete barrier there is no shoulder, nor bike lane. The city has offered an alternative for cyclists rather than take the 50MPH arterial, you can ride a safer detour. The speed limit on the detour is 35MPH with a 4 foot shoulder or a bike lane. But the detour takes you a mile out of your way.
The second example is a 50 MPH slight uphill arterial, 3 lanes either way. The traffic tends to be heavy. Your cycling speed up this hill would be about 15MPH. There is no shoulder you will have to take one of the lanes. The road passes a wide sweeping freeway on ramp and an off ramp, both of which you will have to cross. Traffic typically moves at freeway speeds on the on and off ramps while merging with traffic on the arterial. The sight lines are short maybe 200 feet where the curving ramps meet the arterial.
The city has offered a detour. Your destination at the decision point is about a ½ mile away and just visible on the straight arterial past the on and off ramps. The detour will take you about a ½ mile out of your way and then you cut back on a perpendicular road for a total safe route of about ¾ of a mile. The detour is a 35MPH road with a wide shoulder.
The third example. 50MPH country freeway, one lane either way. No shoulders. Your cycling speed would be about 20+MPH. The traffic tends to be heavy. The city has offered an alternative route. A narrow 8 foot wide sidepath has been given that is separated from the main road by K rail barriers. You will have to slow down to about 10 MPH to use the sidepath and cross the hiway at either end of the sidepath at a light controlled intersection. There are no intersections on the sidepath but there may be pedestrians on it.

Plex for Android has received a major update today, bringing with it the Material Design makeover and a handful of new features. Plex is one of many Android apps to see the move to Material Design as of late.
Plex for Android has received a major update today, bringing with it the Material Design makeover and a handful of new features. Plex is one of many Android apps to see the move to Material Design as of late.
Phones, tablets, televisions, computers, gaming consoles and streaming players; it seems that Plex is available almost any content playing device you can think of. With this being the age of criminal gangs of hackers, the NSA and seemingly every other country attempting to get their hands on your data, is it too paranoid to want Plex to be more secure?
Plex has released an update to their Plex Music platform that they say has been in development for the past six months as part of an effort to become the "go to" music player users will choose. The effort was apparently driven by a desire to get away from iTunes for music listening purposes while acknowledging that Plex Music was not up to the task as a replacement option. That is, until now. Read more
Plex for Android has received a pretty big update that brings in a Material Design overhaul, plus a handful of new features that Plex users will be happy to see.
The new interface fits right in with Google's own suite of apps, and boasts easy ways to browse content and select what server you want to stream media from. The home screen has taken up a modern redesign, and everything just looks fantastic. Read more
If you happened to stumble upon the Plex app in the Play Store today, you might have noticed that it's Free and not the normal $4.99 price. No, Plex isn't running a sale. They just changed their model in that the app will now offer in-app purchases, and there will no longer be the need for a separate app for Plex Pass members.
Up until today, Plex Pass members needed to download the Plex for Plex Pass app in order to enjoy the benefits of their membership, while basic Plex members needed to only download the basic Plex app. That has all changed today as all users only need to download the basic Plex app. If you're a Plex Pass member, you will still get all the member benefits. All you have to do is log into your account, and the app will recognize your subscription status. The Plex for Plex Pass app is still in the Play Store, but it's only there to notify (in the What's New section) current users that they should start using the basic Plex app from now on.
There are many services out there to handle personal media libraries, but Plex is one of the leaders in the space. It acts as a media center pushing videos, photos, and music to a multitude of devices. The service has long been really powerful for managing videos and photos. Now, audio content is being focused on as the service evolves. Alongside its audio fingerprinting technology, Plex will use Gracenote for enhanced music recognition and artist information. This will allow Plex to better understand the sound without having the original source. With Gracenote behind it, Plex will compose Plex Mix playlists. Then, Plex Pass subscribers can have their music matched with corresponding videos from Vevo.
Amazon has just kicked off its Christmas Appstore promotion, which enables you to grab a possible $220 worth of applications for free. Many of this year's must-have paid apps and games are included in the giveaway, such as Angry Birds Space, Colin McRae Rally, Djay 2, Fleksy Keyboard, Plex and many more.
Hit the break below to see a full list of content that's available for free up until Friday, December 26.
Plex for Plex Pass got a pretty sizable update today. Those of you with a Nexus Player or ADT-1 will love the integration with global search. One of the biggest complaints with Android TV has been the fact that searching for content from within the global search only yields results from Play Movies & TV. The good news is that apps can integrate with global search as long as developers add a few lines of code to their apps.
The Chromecast is a great tool for slinging your media to a bigger screen from your phone. We've already covered ways to get the local content on your devices to a Chromecast, but many users still play media from a local network so they don't have to worry about cluttering up device storage with music and videos. It's convenient to store all of your large files on a bigger hard drive instead of keeping them split up across multiple SD cards.
This guide is going to go over the easiest ways to start casting your networked music, photos, and videos to go along with all of your local pictures and internet subscriptions.
Sharing a single account with family or friends can be rather frustrating. Content, preferences, and settings for one user gets intertwined with another and the entire experience goes sour. Many services now are making a shift to support multi-user accounts. The latest to do so is Plex. With Plex Home, there is full control of who can do what with the service. Content can be shared with specified users and parental controls are in place so nothing gets seen by the unintended. User switching is fast, so there is no waiting around for the service to load everything.
Unique usernames, passwords, email addresses, and passwords are not required with Plex Home. There is PIN protection in case you want to provide privacy to users.
Features are available to non-subscribers of the premium Plex Pass. Anyone with a Plex account has access to multi-user support and "Now Playing." It allows everyone sharing an account to have their own experience with a viewing history.

Visiting a Wounded Giant: A Journey into American Adversity
I sometimes wonder if, as a traveler, I am a harbinger of bad luck. On many occasions when I have booked a flight somewhere, unfortunate events have then taken place in the country I was heading for.
Let me give a few examples. Two weeks before I flew into Manila with my family, Typhoon Ondoy – the worst for 40 years– devastated the Philippines. In 2003, I landed in Berlin for a weekend break to discover that while I had been flying, elsewhere in German airspace a passenger jet had suffered engine trouble and been forced into an emergency landing. This isn't a regular occurrence in Germany.
Exactly the same thing happened to me in Indonesia four years later except, tragically, the jet in that incident crashed and most of its passengers were killed.
In 2005, the day before I was due to fly back to England from France, a terror attack on London was foiled by the Metropolitan Police. It was not a pleasant feeling to arrive in London 24 hours later and find it almost completely deserted.
The nadir of my cursed travels happened less than a decade ago on a date that will live in infamy.
I had just graduated from the University of East Anglia with a BA (Hons) in English and American Literature with a Minor in Getting Wasted at Drum 'n' Bass Events. Although UEA had – and still has, I think – an exchange program with a number of top American universities, my particular course hadn't been party to this.
Hence I resolved to visit the US off my own bat because it felt odd to spend three years studying the intimate cultural details of a country and not take the opportunity to go there in person. But even before my student days I had always been fascinated by American books, films and music… but not so much the food or the political direction it had taken under 'King George II', as the spoken word performer Jello Biafra described him.
I wanted to see the canyons and crap games of Johnny Cash songs, the pulsating ghettoes of Saul Williams raps, the endless highways depicted in the novels of Jack Kerouac and Hunter S. Thompson, the picket fence weirdness of David Lynch films. I wanted to immerse myself in the contradictions, to understand why the land of the free is also the land of the pious fundamentalist, how the home of the brave is also the home of consumer conformism, how this 'nation of immigrants' as Bill Clinton put it, is also a nation of violent prejudice, how the richest country in the world can have people living in it with 'food for sex signs' beside them on the street.
So I bought the cheapest air ticket I could find to San Francisco. I would have gone to New York City had it not been the case that to fly the extra 3000 miles west only cost a tiny bit more.
The night before my trip, I stayed with my friend Pete at his East London flat. Using the excuse that this was the first night of my holiday, I got absolutely ruined on beer and some disgusting liqueur that Pete had left over from a trip to Slovenia. I can't remember its name now but it sounded something like 'chemical'; but to describe this stuff as tasting like noxious chemicals would be to undersell precisely how awful it was.
Somehow I got up the next morning and caught the train to Heathrow airport. I staggered onto the plane and downed my complimentary drink for hair of the dog purposes. The flight passed as flights tend to: with minimum circumstance and maximum boredom. All I recall about it was watching an excellent Australian comedy film entitled The Dish.
Hawaii Five-O
In one scene, a U.S. diplomat is attending a function hosted by the mayor of a hick town in the Aussie outback. The mayor announces that the band will now play the national anthem of the United States of America. Cut to the confused look on the diplomat's face as the band in fact launch into the Hawaii Five-O theme tune.
At San Francisco International Airport (SFO) I was surprised to get through immigration quickly. I had been warned to shave and cut my hair and generally look smart as American immigration staff were notorious for giving visitors to their country a hard time. The last thing I wanted was to start my holiday off with an anal probe.
It's always a revelation when you leave an airport in a country you're visiting for the first time. You are full of anticipation as to how different things will be: the weather, the landscape, the architecture, the smell. I have to say that on this occasion I was disappointed. To me, San Francisco was of course different to Britain, but not different enough.
Indeed the standard of living was almost identical, as were people's clothes, the shops and the fast food chains. I wondered if this had something to do with Britain's decision after World War II to spurn greater European unity and become America's 'junior partner', offering itself as a lucrative market for her exports and following many of her fiscal, social and foreign policies - even when they led to disaster.
I caught a shuttle taxi that made its way through the hilly outer limits of San Francisco and into the downtown financial district to drop the better-dressed passengers at hotels such as the Hilton. Knowing that I was headed for the $30 a night Bob's Hostel in Haight-Ashbury gave me something of an inferiority complex; I was after all, a dirty, hung-over ex-student punk on a tight budget.
But the better part of me knew that my trip to San Francisco would be more 'real' than theirs, more 'travel' than 'tourism' in the sense that I would not be living in some artificially created space isolated from everyday city life. This was something of a consolation.
Bob's Hostel was the kind of dingy, dusty, low-lit joint I expected it to be, with a crumbling veranda where people smoked pipes of marijuana. I soon discovered that the other guests were not only backpackers but locals who resided full-time in the hostel because they simply could not afford any better accommodation.
As I was waiting to check in with Nile, the growling, Tom Waits-voiced manager, I got talking to a scientist with ten years of university education behind him who had been living in a dormitory here for six months. He said that rent was prohibitively high and that there were 30,000 homeless people in the city. I thought London was bad!
Once I'd got my key from Nile, I went straight to the nearest restaurant which had depressingly branded itself as an English-style pub serving such dishes as 'Thatcher's Full English Breakfast' and 'Churchill's Steak and Kidney Pudding.' The owner was an English ex-pat who, when he heard my accent, immediately put on a video of the England football team's recent 5-1 shock defeat of Germany.
I scratched my head and asked myself the question, "Why have I traveled so far to come here?" My defense was that I was too tired, jet-lagged and hungry to go somewhere further away from the hostel. I did try to order something completely un-English but somehow ended up with fish and chips. I didn't have the energy to complain. Halfway through the meal, I almost fell asleep face-first into it. I paid the bill and tottered back to my dank-smelling room.
My sleep was interrupted around midnight by a commotion outside. An hysterical man's voice kept screaming "It's fuckin' crazy!" Some obliging passers-by calmed him down. The supposition I made as I fell back to sleep was that, on the balance of probabilities, that man was rather f---ing crazy himself.
I struggled awake at mid-morning and went for breakfast at a Polish sausage shop next door. The proprietor offered me 'the full works' i.e. three enormous sausages soaked with a dozen different sauces. Such excess reminded me of something I'd recently read about Elvis Presley's last years spent eating deep-fried whole piglets and loaves of bread cut into three and filled with bacon, peanut butter, jelly and bananas.
An Odd Quiet
Catching a bus to Chinatown, I found the place to be oddly quiet, or at least quieter than my guidebook had indicated it should be. The few people I saw had somber looks on their faces. Most shops were closed with signs on their windows reading 'For obvious reasons we are shut today.' Read more...

Giant bizarre deep sea fish filmed in Gulf of Mexico
Giant bizarre deep sea fish filmed in Gulf of Mexico
Extraordinary footage of a rarely seen giant deep sea fish has been captured by scientists.
Using a remotely operated vehicle, they caught a rare glimpse of the huge oarfish, perhaps the first sighting of the fish in its natural setting.
The oarfish, which can reach 17m long, has previously only been seen on a few occasions dying at the sea surface, or dead washed ashore.
A huge oarfish was caught on camera in the Gulf of Mexico recently, giving scientists a rare glimpse of the bizarre fish in its native deep sea habitat. Researcher Mark Benfield describes the fish, a likely inspiration for the sea serpent myth.

Birth Place: Mount Carmel, Pennsylvania, USA
When audiences saw the trailer for the romantic comedy film "The Wedding Singer" (1998), many took note of the petite elderly woman performing "Rapper's Delight" and asked "Who is she?" The answer is Ellen Albertini Dow, a veteran of NYC's Yiddish theater and a former drama teacher in L.A. Although coy about her age, Dow has been playing feisty old women since she resumed her acting career in the mid-1980s with a chilling turn as a mass murderer on an episode of "The Twilight Zone" (CBS, 1985). Since then, she played small roles in numerous TV shows (e.g., "Family Matters", "The Golden Girls", "Murphy Brown") and a handful of films ("Tough Guys" 1986; "Sister Act" 1992). Dow offered a memora... Continue Bio >>

Monster Hunter.. I know they're releasing a couple of games in NA soon, but they tend to stay in Asia with all of their really
games. They might be waiting for their franchise to have a bigger fanbase in the west, but still, they have some of the best games imo. I want something like Frontier... ;-;

series from Itoi if we wanted some more of that "Itoi magic". If that's successful, we could have a couple of sequels of that too, and then stop. Afterall, are we putting more value in Itoi as a writer, or are we just idolizing the brand he put out? There's a few good reasons why most movies only have 2 related sequels max. Anything after that is usually a cash grab, and/or falters in quality.
I agree with this. Mother is more of a group of gems that can't just be remade over and over again, else it would ruin the idea of the series. But Itoi is capable of making more games in the same vein as Mother due to his magical mind, and I would personally love that.

Two years ago today, Husni Mubarak stepped down. The immediate thrill of revolutionary victory was soon tempered by a heavy-handed and often incompetent military council, and since the elections by a heavy-handed and often incompetent elected government and a growing disconnect between secularists and Islamists, each in their way denying the other's claim to legitimacy. I love Egypt but also reject the idea that nothing has changed, or that Morsi is just a warmed-over Mubarak. (And if he is, he's one you elected.)
So, repeating my post of two years ago today, remembering that for 5000 years the Nile has united the country, and remembering the poet's words (below), the national anthem:

My favorite hardbound journal
By Pat
from Madison, Wi
I recently bought the 11 x 14 inch hardbound journal and it is a joy to use! Pages stay perfectly flat when working on it. I like to do big 2 page spreads so this is important. The 500 series paper for Mixed Media is the BEST 90lb paper I have ever used for watermedia. I use mostly watercolor and gouache along with fountain and brush pens with various inks. The only bleed through I have ever had was with solvent based markers. I have used most of the other brands that claim their paper is for watermedia and none of them stand up to water the way this paper does; they all pill and warp alot but this paper stays reasonably flat. I esp love the way they designed the hardbound journals so that both sides of a two page spread have the same paper surface (one side of this paper is smoother than the other). Blick's price is reasonable for such a high quality journal.

Love Love Love these Jounals!
By DizzyBead
from Tampa FL
I do mixed media and work with watercolors as well and I love the way the paper holds up even to lots of water. Very little undulation and no pilling... I prefer the hardbound journal to the soft but they are both excellent.

Great mixed media journal
By Mary T.
from NN VA
Takes inks and watercolors extremely well. No bleed through.
Love It
By Lanny
from New England
This is the paper recommended for an online course I am taking for doing permanent pen lettering in combination with water color and water soluble markers. These items don't bleed through and we can use both sides. Fabulous.I haven't used other brands so I can't compare.

A Fine-Art Journal
By Via Von
from Chicago, IL
I've been art journaling for several years now but a recent art lettering course requested we purchase this journal for the years assignments.I'm thrilled with the strong, sewn binding and it's ability to open as widely as needed for each page's full access, front and back. As well,we are tossing a variety of painting mediums (including watercolour) and it's retaining its sturdy paper with no bleed-thru. We are not, however, using alcohol markers (like Spectrum Noir or Copics) as those would bleed through.For me, this journal has taken me from the mind set of "just an art journal" to a "fine art journal" - love it!
The best journal for mixed media !

I would buy this product again.
By kdbelle
from Sandy, UT
I used various media on the pages - gesso, very wet acrylic paint, Gelatos, and modeling paste and the pages did not buckle or bleed through. Excellent product!
Perfect Art Journal
By greeneyedcoach
from Wenatchee, WA.
I have been using this for my art journals. It holds paint, mixed media, watercolor, and marker. It lays open very nicely, and the cover has a nice stable feel to it.

Does NOT Lie Flat as Described!!!!
By Journal Artist
from Oregon
I just opened my package and have not used it yet. But the MAIN feature I was looking for was OPENING FLAT!! It does not! The binding is very stiff. It does appear to be sewn. The paper seems to be good quality- 90 lb paper. Very thick. Compared to my 140 lb cold pressed fabriano paper i buy, it is smoother, has minimal texture but can see some more than feel. It is not totally slick. It does not state hot or cold pressed just 90 lb mixed media paper. The pages will have to be clipped to be held open :( I thought it would be better paper and price than the same size Sketch Moleskine Maybe one day Moleskine will listen and change their watercolor journals to portrait binding. The paper is thicker, but not sure that all told it will be a better journal. It is the typical very stiff to open journal! NONE of the pages are visible unless you hold it open!!! The journal immediately closes when you let go! So it depends what you are looking for. I bought with an additional 25% discount so price was pretty good. Ahh, I finely found another description on inside which states Vellum finish, also included in description. I am pretty sure the paper will be great, but getting to it may be another issue.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

text: Brown University No Federal Investigation into Brown Sexual Assault Policy By Elisabeth Harrison • May 2, 2014 Despite calls at Brown University for changes in the policy on sexual assault, Brown is not facing any investigation by the federal government. The Federal Department of Education has released the names of 55 colleges and universities currently under investigation because of complaints about the way they handle sexual assault. Paxson says Brown student sanctioned for sexual assault will not come back to campus next fall By Scott MacKay • Apr 26, 2014 Brown University President Christina Paxson, in a statement, says the male student who was sanctioned for a sexual assault on a 22-year old female student will not be returning to the university. The case became public after the woman involved, 22-year old Lena Sclove, held a press conference on the Brown campus last week to speak out about the university's handling of an assault and rape that she said was committed on her by a fellow male student. Rhode Island Artscape: Sacred Harp Singing In Rhode Island By John Bender • Apr 24, 2014 John Bender / RIPR Earlier this month dozens of musicians from across New England and beyond gathered in Providence for the eleventh annual 'Rhode Island All-Day Sacred Harp Singing.' If you've never heard of it, here's a clue: it doesn't involve any harps. It's the subject of this month's Rhode Island Artscape. That's the sound of about one hundred people, gathered at the Quaker Meeting House on the East Side of Providence. They're taking part in the state's largest gathering of Sacred Harp singers. The eleventh annual 'Rhode Island All-Day Sacred Harp Singing.' And the Honorary Degree Recipients Are... By Elisabeth Harrison • Apr 18, 2014 This year, Brown University plans to honor acclaimed authors Jeffrey Eugenides and Lois Lowry, both Brown alums, along with U.S. Labor Secretary Thomas Perez and seven other Brown graduates. At the Rhode Island School of Design, commencement festivities will include an honorary degree for designer Todd Oldham and a keynote speech from designer Bruce Mau. Medical Education Adapts To New Needs In RI By Kristin Gourlay • Apr 15, 2014 Kristin Gourlay / RIPR Rhode Island College announced a new graduate certificate program in nursing care management today.

Brown University Looking To Become Center For Brazilian Study By Ben Becker • Apr 14, 2014 RIPR FILE Brown University is taking steps to establish itself as the premier center in the US for the study of Brazil, and it's starting things off by making a trove of once-classified documents accessible to the public.

Match Day Sees More Primary Care Residencies By Kristin Gourlay • Mar 24, 2014 David Orenstein / Brown University Match Day was Friday for fourth year medical students around the country. It's an annual rite, the moment when students find out whether and where they'll be doing their residency. It's a big deal because where you do your residency matters on so many levels - from the number of years you'll spend there, to the quality of the doctors who train you, to the opportunities you'll have to deepen your specialty. And many residents end up staying where they train. Richard Walton e-book unveiling at RIC By Scott MacKay • Mar 17, 2014 Richard Walton was a huge presence in our small state for more than a half century.

Brown 250: Campus Culture Today By Ben Becker • Mar 10, 2014 Karen Mellor As Brown University celebrates its 250th anniversary, four current students offer a peek into their lives and a sense of Brown culture. Chiemeka Onwuanaegbule tells why the Brown Band is as Brown as it gets. Aida Palma is still in the library studying at 2 a.m. Gina Roberti says being a native Rhode Islander lets her see Brown differently. Emma Murray wanted to study happiness and now there's a whole class devoted to just that topic. Brown Kicks off 250th Anniversary Celebration By Elisabeth Harrison • Mar 7, 2014 Brown begins a series of public lectures, art exhibits and other events Friday with an open campus and a lecture from World Bank President Jim Yong Kim, who happens to be a Brown alumnus (class of '82).

URI Plans to Keep Using the SAT By Elisabeth Harrison • Mar 7, 2014 The University of Rhode Island says it has no immediate plans to stop using the SAT as a requirement for admission, despite criticism that has led to an overhaul of the test. SAT testing company The College Board has unveiled a series of changes taking effect in 2016, which include fewer obscure vocabulary words and making the essay section optional. URI Director of Admissions Cynthia Bonn tells Rhode Island Public Radio that her team rarely ever looks at the essay section of the test as it is, but she thinks the other changes will be helpful.

The AIAS signature conference, FORUM, is the largest annual gathering of architecture students in the world.
The 2015 AIAS FORUM will be held in San Francisco from December 29, 2015-January 2, 2016. This year's theme, Bandwidth, describes the width or capacity of a communications channel. It's as much about who you know as what you know. Entrepreneurs, start-ups and architects alike communicate and collaborate extensively. How can we get more bandwidth? We will be exploring the influence of entrepreneurship, public interest design, and the tech industries on the practice and education of architecture, and in turn the impact on the built environment.

|Keynote: Carey Smith, CEO of Big Ass Solutions – As the name suggests, Big Ass Fans isn't your traditional business, and Carey Smith isn't a traditional CEO. In fact he forgoes the title altogether, answering to Chief Big Ass.
At age 9, Carey started working and never stopped. He gained a tireless work ethic as he sold shoes and Christmas cards, changed bedpans and newspaper type, and washed shirts and floors—all before graduating high school.
Dissatisfied with working in a traditional corporate environment, Carey left an insurance job in 1981 to begin his first company, Sprinkool, which installed sprinklers on the roofs of industrial buildings as a cooling mechanism. While revenue grew to $1.4 million, the profits weren't enough to sustain long-term growth.
At age 46, he launched the unremarkably named HVLS Fan Company (that's High Volume, Low Speed). Taking a cue from customers who asked again and again about "those big ass fans," Carey renamed the company and adopted a strategy of direct sales, so customer feedback would continue to drive innovation. Today, the Big Ass approach centers around investing in research and development, as well as offering top wages and benefits.
Since 2010, annual revenue has increased from $49.9 million to a projected $225 million in 2015, landing the company annual spots on the Inc. 5000 and Forbes' list of America's Most Promising Companies. Carey writes a weekly column about unconventional business practices titled "On the Contrary" for Inc., and has recently been featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, CNN and Forbes.

ARCHITYPES: The Researcher with Jillian Berry and Sou Fang, moderated by Giovanni Ribo – The primary disciplinary concern of the architect has focused on form, but what informs this has dramatically expanded through complex social, political, environmental and economic systems. Today, we must better understand the complexity of issues at play when we design and plan buildings, neighborhoods and entire cities. This demands open approaches and broad-based interdisciplinary discussions into formal design decisions. At the core of this is the "researcher," whose primary role is to formulate and address these issues But what differentiates "architectural research" from other forms of research? This session will present a number of research sequences within the academy to address these questions and to project them into the discipline of architecture, suggesting that the battle for a better built environment is a collective effort that requires the force and knowledge from all fields.

Shadows formed by those shapes change consistently as a day goes by, just like the the digital forms and shapes of a bandwidth.In this workshop you will explore how changing a shape can impact the surrounding looking trough a lens of a camera. I will share different techniques to tell a story in Sketch Up using alternative options, such as spacial diagramming of a building to help communicating the fine tuned big picture, just like finding the proper bandwidth using a dial. This workshop will be led Severin Villiger. Severin has been working with computer 3D modeling software since 2005. First, integrating Sketch Up into parts of the 3D modeling work-flow to create photo-realistic renderings and animations for a variety of Interior Design, Architecture and Engineering firms, Sketch Up became an important part to document the design process and design intent.
Freedom by Design – This mini workshop is intended to arm students with ideas and best practices when dealing with Design+Build in different contexts.

Salsa has been building practical, quality bikes since the old days in Petaluma, California. To this day, the same passion exists for building bikes that take you down the path less pedaled, and the Salsa Mamasita carries on this tradition of combining functionality with the spirit of adventure. As a hardtail, 29er cross-country bike, the Salsa Mamasita is just as at home on the singletrack as in a 24-hour endurance race.
The Mamasita's aluminum construction is a step away from the renowned Salsa steel lineup. The frame has been made from the custom-designed EV6 Xtrolite aluminum tubing to provide noticeable weight savings that make taxing climbs less of a chore. Although weight reduction was a decision-making factor, the hydroformed tubing doesn't sacrifice ride quality to shave grams. The ensure this, the geometry has been made rigid with a 71 degree angle of the tapered head tube to give you nimble steering precision. To add strength to it, and retain the rigidity throughout the frame, the Mamasita utilized the hyrdroforming process to create an oversized down tube in a shape unobtainable with steel. Adding to the lateral stiffness, the elongated chainstays and shaped seatstays provide snappy handling in the switchbacks and sprinkle in vertical compliance.
The Mamasita is equipped with a Rockshox Reba RL fork. A consistent, durable, and easy-to-service fork, the Reba RL has 100mm of travel for predictable encounters with ruts, rocks, and roots. The Dual Air spring system is effortless to adjust and is one of the lightest systems on the market. The responsive fork adds to the get-up-and-go of the bike without making you cringe from downhill chatter.
The build kit comes with a SRAM Pressfit 30 bottom bracket and a SRAM X7 26/39T crankset. SRAM components are used to round out the drivetrain with a PG-1050 10-speed, 12/26T cassette and a PC1030 chain. For shifting, Salsa went with a X7 2x10 front derailleur, a X9 rear derailleur, and X7 trigger shifters to get you from point to point. The Avid Elixir 5 hydraulic disk brakes provide powerful and precise stopping power, and the Salsa Pro Moto seatpost, flip-lock seat clamp, and WTB Silverado saddle keep you comfortably situated during your ride. Salsa Pro Moto 2 Black handlebars have been paired with the luscious Black Juegos de Fuegos grips for a sturdy, hold-on-for-your-life level of control in the dirt.
For control over the trail condition or flats, the Mamasita rolls on Stan's ZTR Arch 32 hole 29in rims that have been laced to Formula hubs with DT Swiss Competition spokes. Ruling from the top of the tubeless kingdom, the ZTR wheelset is lightweight, bombproof, and stiff. For aggressive traction, the wheels come wrapped in Continental's X-King 29x2.2in tires.
The Salsa Mamasita comes in the color Not-A-Fred Red. Sizes run from X-Small through Large.

Great Bike
Picked this up as a frame, and built it to match the kind of riding I do. XT/XTR 1x9 drivetrain with a 32-tooth e.thirteen ring, White Brothers Loop fork, Easton EA70 wheels, Thomson post and stem, and EC70 bars with ESI grips. For Utah's up-and-down singletrack, this build provides simplicity and durability.
The frame itself is awesome. It rides like a dream. Climbs like a mule, stiff but not too stiff, which was a nice surprise for an aluminum frame. It handles snappily. The head angle is on the steep side of modern geometry, but I like it. It may just be the XL-sized frame, but the front end seems to walk the line between twitchy and slack pretty nicely. I feel like I can sweep the bike back under me coming out of a turn quickly and predictably.
The one knock I have on the frame is the PF30 bottom bracket. I didn't want to buy a PF-30-specific bottom bracket, as I already had an XT crankset that I like and wanted to use. I started with a normal, Delrin PF30 adapter that pressed in and then the BB cups thread in to the adapter. This lasted all of 2 weeks. It ended up ovalizing and becoming worthless quite quickly. By chance, I found the Praxis Works PF30 BB adapter, and bought it almost entirely based on the fact that it was metal, and the BB cups were integrated into the adapter. It works incredibly well, and is probably the best 80 bucks I spent putting this together.
If I wanted to race, I'd definitely race this bike. As it is, it's comfortable for 40 minute, lunchtime hot laps, and 4 hour endurance rides alike. I wouldn't hesitate to go all day on it.

|I. i. 1. In the two opening speeches there is plainly a historical
allusion; and probably to contemporary events. I incline to
think that the reference may be to the assassination of Concini,
Maréchal d'Ancre, by order of the young king, Louis XIII.
Concini, the favourite of the queen-mother, was bitterly hated;
and his murder was skilfully represented as an act of justice
against a public enemy and a traitor. Luines, who advised the
king in the matter and succeeded to the power of Concini, made a
parade of calling the old councillors of Henry IV.--'les vieux
serviteurs du feu roi son père'--back to court. (See
Martin, Histoire de France, t. xi. pp. 112121.)
If this suggestion be well founded--but it is offered with great diffidence--we should be able to fix the date of the Play more closely, to 1617-18. Concini was assassinated in April 1617; and, for the reason stated in the Preface, the Play must have been written by the end of the following year.
|I. i. 10. Which, i.e. his palace.
|I. i. 23. What they ought to foresee. A contrast seems to be intended between telling a prince what he ought to do and giving him such information as shall enable him to form his own judgment on the case.
|I. i. 37. I wore two towels: like Falstaff's regiment, 1 Henry IV., IV. ii. 48.
|I. i. 41. Dog-days. Days of ill-luck, which the rising of the dog- star was supposed to signify. Browne, Vulgar Errors, iv. 13.
|I. i. 61. Nor ever died any man. The Quarto reads 'did,' but it is clearly a misprint. In the same sentence the Quarto reads 'he
