Meet the Vikings
The Vikings in Manchester
Ydalir is the Manchester group of The Vikings, the UK's oldest and largest Dark Age re-enactment society. Our events present a wide range of aspects of life in Viking age Europe, from combat displays to demonstrations of everyday domestic Crafts.
The UK's oldest and
largest Dark Age
re-enactment society
Our commitment to high standards of accuracy has
led to shows for highly prestigious clients such as English Heritage and the British Museum. Film work includes both serious documentary work and somewhat less serious feature films and advertising work.

What does the name "Ydalir Vikings" mean?
Ydalir (yoo dāl îr) n. In Norse mythology Ydalir ("Yew Dales") was the home of Ull the winter god. Ydalir was noted for being eternally damp. As we are based in Manchester, a place also noted for prodigious rainfall, we chose Ydalir Vikings as an appropriate name.

The Wisdom of Salmon
Functional MRI (fMRI) is a widely used technique of brain imaging in the cognitive sciences, allowing researchers to visualize what part of the brain is responding to certain stimuli, resulting in striking images of live brains. These days, fMRI is seeing more non-research use, such as forming the basis of controversial new lie detectors. Craig Bennett, a postdoctoral researcher at UCSB, submitted a whole Atlantic salmon to fMRI analysis, and found that this fish could apparently detect, and respond to, the the emotional state of human beings (poster). Remarkable science, especially considering the salmon was dead at the time. [more inside]

Political thinking isn't really 'thinking'. Neuroscientists have now tracked what happens in the politically partisan brain when it tries to digest damning facts about favored candidates or criticisms of them. The process is almost entirely emotional and unconscious, and there are flares of activity in the brain's pleasure centers when unwelcome information is being rejected. Via Slate.

Tummy Tuck
The Tummy Tuck is very popular, ranking among the top five most requested cosmetic procedures. Also referred to as abdominoplasty is used to make the abdomen firmer by removing excess skin and fatty tissue. This tightens the muscles of the abdomen and results in a firmer stomach. Often, liposuction is used in conjunction to reform and contour transition areas. A complete abdominoplasty can take upwards of four hours, while a partial abdominoplasty can be completed within one or two.
Abdominoplasty can also be done in different degrees depending on how much tissue and skin is removed. The complete procedure involves an incision from hip to hip as well as an incision to free the navel. Excess skin and tissue is detached from the abdominal wall and the belly button is sutured into place. Unlike liposuction alone, the removal of this skin greatly assists patients with stretch marks in the area. Liposuction is used to touch up the transition areas. A partial abdominoplasty follows the same process but on a more limited scale with smaller incisions. An extended abdominoplasty follows the complete procedure but extends into the thighs and/or flanks.
As with any surgical procedure, adequate recovery time is essential. A support garment may be worn to minimize swelling and bruising. Experts recommend one to four weeks of low impact activities for initial recovery. Full recovery will take three to six weeks with the scars fading in the following months.
Tummy Tuck FAQs
Full And Mid Abdominoplasty
Q: What is the difference between a full and a mid abdominoplasty?
A: A complete or full abdominoplasty consists of an incision made from hip to hip with large amounts of skin being removed. A mid abdominoplasty is less invasive and little or no skin is removed. Both involve tightening the abdomen wall muscles.
Tummy Tuck Or Liposuction
Q: Do I need a tummy tuck, or can I just have liposuction performed?
A: This is greatly dependent on your overall goals and lifestyle following the procedure. Since liposuction does not involve skin removal or muscle tightening, it would be paramount (to fully benefit from the procedure) to maintain a healthy lifestyle following the procedure. If excess skin and muscle laxity are a problem, liposuction will not suffice, a full or mid abdominoplasty would address these issues.
Tummy Tuck Scarring
Q: What is the scarring like after a tummy tuck?
A: The resulting scar from a tummy tuck depends greatly on how much skin is removed. As with any scar, it will fade with time. There are ways to assist the fading of scars as well. Vitamin E cream and specialized skin rejuvenation creams are widely available. Also, the horizontal incision made during the abdominoplasty is performed below the panty line. Due to these techniques, the resulting scar unnoticeable.
Return To Normal Life
Q: How long after an abdominoplasty procedure can I expect to be back in the gym?
A: This is dependent on the extent of the surgery and whether the muscles were tightened or not. Typically, patients are active within 1 to 2 weeks and can expect to back in the gym in approximately 1 month.
Tummy Tuck And Pregnancy
Q: If I have a complete tummy tuck performed, will it affect me having a baby in the future?
A: The tummy tuck will NOT interfere with you having a baby. However, the pregnancy may reverse some of the benefits of the procedure.

Wax on, wax off!
by gwilson on May.22, 2013, under A Day in the Life...
BIMS 1300 is a bit of an unusual course to start the BIMS major out on. The title is "Introduction to Scientific Research", and yet we spend the majority of our time playing and designing games, with only limited time spent discussing the scientific method, the structure of a scientific paper, and the importance of ethical and moral behavior in the sciences. So it might come as a shock that one of the key features of the final exam is the analysis of a scientific paper taken from the Journal of Invertebrate Pathology.
All semester long, I have been telling the 33 students in the class (mostly freshmen) that our approach to learning how scientific research is conducted is taken from "The Karate Kid" – we do things seemingly unrelated to science to learn about science. So we played games to learn about variable and constants, how to use deductive reasoning to isolate variables in order to win the game. The mid-term exam included a simple Sudoku! We read excerpts from "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman" to learn about observation and controlled experimental design. I give them an article called "Delusions of Gender" that is a great example of how inductive reasoning can go awry if taken beyond the limits of logic. We ran through examples of research misconduct and discussed the high costs of research and played "The Lab" at the NIH-ORI website.
And their final exam included evaluation of a scientific paper. They told me which paragraphs fit into each part of an IMRAD format paper. They evaluated logic used in the Results and Discussion section. They identified variables and constants in the table and figure. Then, on page two of the exam they looked at a flawed study, pointed out the mistakes and designed a better approach. And they explained how the games their groups created use these same methods and approaches and skills.
How did they do? As students in the course have done over the past four years, they were able to show me they "get it" about how we use the tools of science on a daily basis as we go about our decision-filled lives. And I am certain the experience of this class will help our students approach their sophomore classes, including organic chemistry, genetics, and human physiology from a more critical and thoughtful perspective.
Success Story
by gwilson on Apr.29, 2009, under Students
This spring Colin will walk the stage to end his college career with a handshake and diploma, and thus beginning the next phase of his life. In many ways, Colin represents the very best of a college education at a university where students are more than ID numbers and test scores.
Colin came to McMurry a number of years ago and found mixed academic success. Frustrated, he left and joined the Marines, serving his nation admirably. Upon completion of his active service, Colin returned and rededicated himself to success in preparing for medical education.
Something is different this time around, and I believe I know what it is. Colin has involved himself in research-rich experiences. He began working several years ago with Dr. Carol McClelland, an adjunct faculty member (PhD from Colorado State and former student in my microbiology course at Texas A&M) who wanted a place to hang her hat and continue in her NIH fellowship research. Carol is an Abilenian originally and wanted to be close to home while her husband was deployed with the Air Force. She got Colin involved in hands-on research and suddenly things started to click. Later, when Carol's family moved to California, Colin jumped into research-rich courses to work with other BIMS faculty. The result has been something to pin his knowledge on, something to translate theoretical into concrete. Now he "gets it" and he's prepared for life after McMurry.
I saw Colin this week and he informed me that he has been accepted into a graduate program in molecular pathology this fall. Another success story.
More and more students will experience the same success in the BIMS program because the research-rich curriculum picks at a student's curiosity and engages them in learning in ways that differ from seat time in a lecture course, or canned experiments conducted in the lab. The "BIMS Way" works!

|Episode # 12001 Complete Scene-By-Scene; Wedding fever!

Okay, I went back and looked. The pic of Deidre/Freddie was posted on Oct. 9. So if she posted it when she took it, it could be for scenes after the wedding easily. But she posted some pics from the Christmas episode a good six weeks after they filmed it.
What made us think Deidre was in the 12,000th episode originally was all those videos she posted talking to different actors about it. I can't find those videos now. So some time around the time they filmed the 12,000th, Joe Mascolo, John Aniston, and Deidre were on set.

Chad lets the cat out of the bag in regard to the paternity. Rafe is upset that Will took Gabi to the abortion clinic and will see it of him not taking responsibility for the pregnancy. Rafe will take Nick / Gabi's side as he will feel that Nick is stepping up to the plate to take care of his sister. Sami will jump to Will's side to protect him from Nick and Rafe. The lines will drawn for a custody battle. This will tear Safe apart, and Sami will go to EJ for help.
Just my opinion, I guess we will see how everything plays out!
|Jan 1 2013, 09:03 PM Post #263
I'm disappointed to learn that Marlena likely won't be in attendance. I can't agree that Whitesell and Tomlin have completely written Marlena out of Will's life, since they have shared a few notable scenes since Whitesell and Tomlin took over, but I do agree that it's not "enough".
Billie's presence at the wedding makes Marlena's absence even more glaring. I really hope that Marlena, Justin, and Adrienne are featured in the aftermath of the wedding revelations. Excluding them would be a huge mistake.
I hope that the presence of cops at the wedding is an indication that Gabi will be arrested for her role in Melanie's kidnapping. A cop is with Jennifer, Abby, and a mystery person (Gabi?) in one scene, so perhaps those viewers who have been wanting Gabi to be blamed for Jack's death will finally be getting their wish.
I'm also hoping that Nick's smug, manipulative, homophobic face gets pummeled again, but that should go without saying.
I can't wait to see how this all plays out, but I'm most excited about Will and Sonny's interactions in the aftermath. Regardless of what Whitesell and Tomlin might think, this is primarily Will and Sonny's story, IMO.
|Jan 1 2013, 09:14 PM Post #264
Should be Will and Sonny's story primarily. Problem is I don't think the writers see it that way.
IMO We will know probably right after the reveal whose story this is going to be/main players.

It is ridiculous that Marlena isn't present at the wedding, seeing as she is Will's grandmother and his other grandmother, Kate, is in attendance. And Billie? Really? It isn't like they needed actors to fill up the seats. Would it have really hurt them to add 4 or 5 more characters to the wedding scenes, even if they were just there and not involved in the whole fracus that is bound to ensue. I don't get the reasoning behind it, other than TomSell doesn't care for Jarlena.
|Jan 1 2013, 09:48 PM Post #266
My one consolation is that E.J. is not in attendance. Small miracles and all of that.
I really hope that Will continues to be kept far away from E.J.'s orbit in the aftermath of this revelation. If I have to suffer through more scenes between my favorite actor and my least favorite actor, I'm going to need a lot of alcohol or some heavy medication.
|Jan 1 2013, 11:45 PM Post #267
It looks like the opposite is happening based on the 1/14 spoilers. The Wabi baby reveal leads to implications for Rafe, Sami and EJ, so it seems likely that EJ is going to be on TeamWill.
|Jan 2 2013, 12:05 AM Post #268
I'm sure that E.J. will pretend to be completely supportive of Will, because E.J.'s all about doing everything that he can do to earn brownie points with Sami and manipulate her into thinking that he's "changed".
However, my point was that I want him to be completely supportive of Will from a distance, without actually sharing scenes with Will ever. It might be too much to ask for, and I know that some viewers disagree (which is fine), but I love the fact that Whitesell and Tomlin have completely eradicated Will and E.J.'s ridiculous "relationship" that never should have happened in the first place. I hope that they don't backpedal on that decision.

Exactly. EJ might like Will but his motive for being on Team Will will be 100% about getting in Sami's pants rather than being on Will's side because of Will. The irony is that Rafe will be supporting Gabi for the sole reason of supporting Gabi. Lucas (if we even see him in this story at all) will be supporting Will for the sole reason of supporting Will. EJ on the other hand who has no business in this story but will be involved anyway and siding with Will only has one agenda as always: getting in Sami's pants.

|Jan 2 2013, 01:30 AM Post #270
Sami will undoubtedly be a reason, but I also think its natural that EJ would support Will. He likes Will, he's made that clear. And it's also not suprising that EJ would take the side of a father who's paternal rights (for whatever reason) are at risk.
|Jan 2 2013, 05:12 AM Post #271
I think that sounds right, unfortunately in many ways. What annoys me is that this story will indeed be more fodder for Sami and EJ, when I am really more interested in how this is a Sonny/Will story, a Lucas/Sami/Will story, Will/Marlena and Gabi/Salem PD story, even a Nick/Hortons story. Even a Kate/Lucas/Sami/Will story could be interesting!! This is just the kind of thing Kate would chomp at the bit to meddle in, and I am sure it will bring back memories for her as well. And if you ask me this seems like a perfect opportunity for Lucas and Sami to grow closer or work together or look to each other for support. Heck - they could even start to draw up custody schemes themselves (they have experience). And I say this not just b/c I am Lumi romantic pairing fan, It just make sense to me that they should be featured together in this somehow, fighting to help their son, and dream-team-scheming on their own.
But, yeah, since a custody battle will likely ensue, and EJ is lawyer of anything and everything when it is most convenient, it will be alllll Sami and EJ. How utterly expected, banal and disappointing.

most likely just like austin was not involved at all with will coming out story and until we do know if he even knows will gay we just guess he problay know since carrie knows
|Jan 2 2013, 08:48 AM Post #273
I do think Kate will be all up in Gabi and Nick's business regardless making sure her grandson Will does get to see his child for Kate is a woman you don't want to cross concerning her kids and her grandkids trying to keep a child away from one of her kids or grandkids who's the child's father so I'm just hoping Gabi and Nick do the right thing here and share custody with Will where the baby gets to spend time with both parents and both couples otherwise I can definately see Kate going after them both of them herself if Gabi or Nick didn't allow Will to see the baby.
I can see Kate keeping a very close eye on Gabi and Nick making sure that they follow threw on letting Wil see his son or daughter for Kate is very overly protective when it comes to her kids and grandkids and even great grandkids seeing that the right thing is done where Will would get to see the baby and she would make sure that Will would get to see his child too and get on Gabi and Nick's case more then anyone if they tried to keep the baby away from Will.
I can see Kate getting involved their too concerning her great grandson or great grandaughter as well making sure Will got to see the baby so I'm just hoping Nick and Gabi do the right thing here and share custody with Will where both Gabi and Will get to spend time with the baby for the baby needs both Will and Gabi.
|Jan 2 2013, 08:54 AM Post #274
my dream story if theres a custody brewing would be for lumi to co parent since for some reason there not allowed to do that and they would go back to scheming aganist nick/gabby but i know it will never happen since i know that lucas will barely be in this story or any for that matter
Edited by Harmony233, Jan 2 2013, 09:03 AM.
|Jan 2 2013, 09:13 AM Post #275
Yeah, yet another way to purposely include a character that has NO BUSINESS being around this story into this story right? AGAIN....they do it...because they can't figure out a way for Ej and Sami to have a story that isn't contrived bullshit. They work together now, why not go from there? NOooooo, they can't do that. I'm telling you, it pisses me off that this story will likely give more airtime to characters like Ej and Rafe than to Lucas a character who SHOULD be part of the mix and who will likely be left out of it. Ej has NO BUSINESS being Will's lawyer (if that is what ends up happening)....NONE....the guy tried to kill him....
|Jan 2 2013, 09:25 AM Post #276
I don't need Lumi co-parenting....what I would want is for Lumi to go back to their scheming ways and come up with a plan to help their son out without outside interference from Ej or anyone else for that matter. It's a perfect way to give Lucas story and give Lumi airtime without them being romantic or anything. She can be with Rafe, Ej or whomever she chooses romantically but this show just refuses to show Lumi PERIOD, I don't know why, but it's obvious that they would rather not showcase them at all that try to come up with a plausible story for them without them jumping into bed. It's frustrating.
|Jan 2 2013, 09:38 AM Post #277
IA its frustrating not sure why its so hard to understand lumi werefriends first and at this point i don't even know if i'd want them back together with sami's behavior lol but nothing wrong with them scheming together it would give lucas something to do
|Jan 2 2013, 09:46 AM Post #278
I am not convinced a protracted legal custody battle is the next step in this story. Rafe will pressure Gabi to co-parent with Will. Everybody else will likely pressure her to do the same except for Nick. I am not sure if Nick has enough influence and manipulation in him to overcome the pushback from Rafe.
If by some chance a courtroom or lawyer assisted custody battle does happen, Salem needs another high profile lawyer to take Gabi's case. EJ would never take Gabi's case. Justin shouldn't take her case either due his son's relationship with the opposing party. As such, bringing in day players to portray the lawyers is about the only plausible scenario here that could maintain any semblance of unbiased and fair representation. If existing characters must portray the lawyers, I want Justin to be bound by a retainer or other act to serve as Gabi's lawyer with Carrie returning to Salem to serve as Will's lawyer. Carrie battling against Rafe would much more interesting than if it were EJ. I do not want EJ anywhere near a possible custody battle. Hopefully this story does not go down that route.
|Jan 2 2013, 10:13 AM Post #279
I expect Will to have concerns about Gabi and Nick when he learns about Gabi's role in Melanie's kidnapping, and if Will decided he wants to share custody with Gabi, that would be a problem for Nick, given the way he feels about Will's sexual orientation. I do think Rafe will pressure Gabi to do what he thinks is right, but the problem is that there are going to be several other people with their own ideas of what is right, who will all be pressuring Will, Nick, and Gabi. Will has been all alone, but as soon as the truth comes out, even though he runs the risk of losing Sonny (which I don't think is going to happen) he will now have a lot of support and he can finally be honest about how he really feels and what he wants to do. I don't think Nick will be alone in fending off Rafe. I expect Hope, Maggie, Julie and probably some others to think Nick is being the good guy by stepping up for Gabi. There's great potential in this story for people who normally are on the same side to be pitted against each other, and I hope the writers get it right for once.
|Jan 2 2013, 10:27 AM Post #280
Fanbases aside, I too don't understand why Lucas and Sami can't share scenes that would make perfect sense given that they are both Will's parents and the history behind that fact regarding their own very heated custody battle over him. All those parallels can be brought to the forefront and none of that has anything to do with EJ or Rafe. Like you said Sami can be romantically involved with whoever she wants but that shouldn't exclude Lucas from being part of the equation when his presence actually is warranted and makes sense. Maybe we will get a discussion between the two about this after everything is revealed but based on what we have seen so far, I'm not holding my breath.

A large pendant is a type of ceiling lighting that often includes a shade and usually serves as the primary lighting feature in a room. For many, it's an elegant alternative to a chandelier that is easy to install and maintain.
Large pendants come in an array of designs and if you want to reinforce a room's design theme with your lighting selection then browsing by style is a great way to go. You'll find thousands of large pendants in contemporary, transitional and traditional designs, or you can get more specific by searching fixtures featuring art glass, crystal accents or a Tiffany look.
All of these styles and more are expressed in a wide range of finishes that can be used to blend your large pendant with its surrounding tones or to make a sizzling décor statement. Nickel, bronze and satin nickel are popular finish options that can work well with a variety of lighting styles and interior design schemes.
A pendant's shade is just as important as its finish - if not more so. Many pendant designs are defined by the shape, color and material of their shades. Glass and fabric make up the majority of shades, although there are plenty of options available in materials like metal, crystal and paper.
You can find large pendants in solid or patterned designs featuring any color of the rainbow, but there are just as many options with white, cream, beige and clear or crystal shades that complement neutral tones. When thinking about color it's important to consider how the shade will look when it's on and when it's off, especially if you decide to go with something bold.
What is a "large" pendant, anyway? Nailing that down is more art than science, really, and ultimately you will be the judge. The size of any pendant is defined in part by the space it occupies, so what seems small to you may not seem so small to others.
Large pendants are typically categorized as any fixture with a diameter larger than 12 inches, give or take an inch or two. Pendant height is also a factor, but less so than its circumference. Pendants smaller than 12 inches around are usually reserved for smaller spaces or for over-counter lighting rather than as a primary lighting feature in a large room.

Large and bowl pendants refer to lighting that hangs on a rod or chain and features a large shade with one bulb. Bowl pendants feature shades with a large, upside down bowl look while large pendants encompass the other styles.
Large pendant lights typically are hung over dining room tables, bar areas and kitchen islands. They also create a great look if hung in entry ways with high ceilings. Pendants are perfect for specific task lighting because typically pendants feature one bright bulb.
Pendants typically hang between 28 and 34 inches above the surface they are installed above, meaning 28-34 inches from bottom rim of the pendant to the surface it is above. This measurement should be considered a guide rather than a rule because things such as size of the pendant, size of the surface it is hanging over and other factors will determine the most aesthetic height.
Here are basic instructions for installing a pendant light. Be sure to consult the instructions specific to the product purchased or a professional before installing.

|Waitlist Information:
|For LBJ Students: UT Waitlist Information
Course Overview
This course provides substantive instruction in administrative policymaking and implementation. It is usually taken during the first year. Students are introduced to the role and method of administration in meeting policy expectations, resolving issues, responding to new requirements, and evaluating performance. The course covers the following topics: organization structure and bureaucracy, management issues and processes, managerial psychology, managing diversity, leadership, strategic planning, interorganizational relations, administrative law, human resource management, labor relations, personnel administration, performance measurement, program evaluation, information management, and ethics of public service. Each section of the course uses a different aspect of public administration or public management to emphasize these topics. The objectives of the course are achieved by using case studies, simulation exercises, class visitors, and practical exercises which complement the assigned readings and class discussions.
Section Description
This is an exciting time to be in leadership roles in public institutions and to manage the implementation and oversight of critical public policies. The practice and study of public administration are undergoing profound changes, as policies become more complex, their implementation more consequential, and their constituencies more diverse.
Public managers continue to execute their traditional responsibilities of policy formulation, implementation, oversight, and evaluation. But, increasingly, governments are called upon to be efficient and transparent in their operations and to serve as catalysts for—rather than actual deliverers, redistributors, or regulators of—goods, services, and opportunities affecting their citizens. As such, the responsibilities of public managers are shifting increasingly to managing more dynamic, integrated, and collaborative organizations.
This course is designed to integrate the theories of management and the experiences of those who have managed, to help students develop skills and insights necessary to lead and manage public organizations and to use common sense when managing and leading.
The course requires extensive reading to prepare for class and a very high level of participation in class. Student assessment will be based upon: several 2-3 page memoranda analyzing various management challenges; an on-the-spot exercise to develop the skill of briefing a superior on problems and how to solve them; a memorandum outlining a management problem and options for addressing that problem; a one 15-20 page report (based upon the management problem identified in the memorandum); and class participation. There is no final examination.

What does it mean to find your voice?
I'm preparing a guest post for another blog about how you go about finding your voice--for speakers in general and women in particular. For some, I know it's more emotional than physical; for others, the vocal issues are paramount; yet others see it as a content issue, focusing on "What do I have to say that will matter to others?" It's the speaker's quest, so help me understand what you mean when you say you're finding--or have found--your voice. Leave a comment!

Other Space Odysseys:
Greg Lynn, Michael Maltzan, Alessandro Poli
April 8-September 6, 2010
Featuring the work of architects Greg Lynn, Michael Maltzan, and Alessandro Poli, Other Space Odysseys comes at a time when space exploration is the subject of renewed enthusiasm, but also of debate which questions its justification. Scientific expeditions, satellite launches, and the emergence of space tourism are pushing us to reconsider our relationship with our own planet. The Canadian Centre for Architecture (CCA) presents three approaches to the ideas of an adventurous journey that started 40 years ago after the 1969 moon landing.
The exhibition addresses how the exploration of space has informed the rediscovery of earth, and illustrates the importance of pursuing an architecture based on the production of ideas.
For these architects, space has provided not only a rich context for experimentation, but also an extreme condition in which to test new ideas for life on earth. The exhibition, on view at the CCA from 8 April until 6 September 2010, is curated by CCA Curator of Contemporary Architecture Giovanna Borasi and CCA Director and Chief Curator Mirko Zardini, in active collaboration with the architects.
Other Space Odysseys presents the architects' projects in two galleries each, adjacent and open to one another in order to establish relationships among their respective works. This format produces a conversation between the architects' work, expanding to create a broader and more complex reflection on the themes of the exhibition. The idea of space exploration provoked these architects to use new and different media for disseminating their ideas: models, collages, animation, and objects supplant more traditional two-dimensional forms of representation. Accordingly, Other Space Odysseys presents a wide array of material, both real and virtual, from the simple tools of a farmer to the digital animation of a science fiction film. The architects have worked to select the material and present concepts through the exhibition design. The graphic design for the exhibition, by the Minneapolis, Minnesota-based designer Alex DeArmond, is inspired by the long distances, intersecting geometries, and nebulous lighting inherent in space exploration.
Commenting on the exhibition, Mirko Zardini stated: "•Other Space Odysseys• has nothing to do with Space Architecture or architecture in outer space. It is not a celebration of high-tech architecture and imagery or extreme physical and mental conditions. Instead, this exhibition proposes a letting go of architecture understood as the production of material goods in favour of architecture as the production of ideas." Greg Lynn, Michael Maltzan, and Alessandro Poli have developed unique and imaginative responses to the questions of space travel and the inhabitation of new, extraterrestrial realities. Their odysseys, real and virtual, ultimately promise a rediscovery of our own planet.
Other Space Odysseys is the third in a series of exhibitions at the CCA conceived in collaboration with contemporary architects which have developed new ways to investigate important themes through curatorial approaches that reveal the attitudes of the architects themselves. Environment: Approaches for Tomorrow (2006–07) presented two reflections: one on the disappearance of wilderness by the French landscape designer Gilles Clément, the other by the Swiss architect Philippe Rahm on the interrelationship of humans and climatic conditions. In 2008, Some Ideas on Living in London and Tokyo explored through architecture two different approaches to urban living with respect to private and public life through the work of architects Ryue Nishizawa in Japan and Stephen Taylor in Britain. "This series of exhibitions," explained Giovanna Borasi, "offers an opportunity to explore issues that we think are critical to contemporary debate with architects who, through their research and projects, contribute their ideas to the topic." In addition to presenting existing projects, the architects involved have created new work specifically around the subject of the exhibition.
Three projects by Greg Lynn are presented in the exhibition, each one making use of extreme conditions – such as virtual reality or the absence of gravity – to introduce new directions, technologies and form into the world of architectural possibility. A sense of tension is created between work which provides a virtual reality representation of the earth, and work conceived as architecture for outer space. The first gallery presents New City, an architecturally considered virtual world. Five models, digitally fabricated for the exhibition, as well as an animation, capture the project, which responds to the emergence of social media through the design of a parallel virtual reality in which all of the earth's inhabitants reside in a single, interconnected city.
In a second gallery, Lynn's research on outer space is presented. A series of models (also digitally fabricated for the exhibition) present the N.O.A.H. (New Outer Atmospheric Habitat) structures, a series of four planets developed for the science fiction film Divide. From afar, the planets appear as unique forms; up close, they are revealed as porous, cellular structures that contain a wide range of spaces and microclimates. Lynn's exploration into the possibilities revealed by the extreme conditions of outer space is also represented by drawings and animation produced by his students at the University of Applied Arts, Vienna, and the University of California, Los Angeles. Their projects for space colonies responded to a brief from Lynn, who challenged his students to explore the notion of 'ground' in the absence of gravity.
Asked about his goal for the exhibition, Lynn replied: "I want the things in the show to seem like they're chunks of something from another place that happened to find their way into the CCA. And because New City is a virtual thing, I really feel like somehow it has to look like we reached into a virtual world, and grabbed a thing, and took it out, and it's frozen or something. It should be like it's arrested, and it's not complete, it's a fragment.... It needs to be not a window into something, but like artefacts were taken out, and the minute they were taken out they froze. So, I'm hoping it has an otherworldly quality."
Greg Lynn (born 1964 in North Olmsted, Ohio) is principal of Greg Lynn FORM, based in Los Angeles (www.glform.com). He holds a Bachelor of Environmental Design and a Bachelor of Philosophy from Miami University of Ohio, and received a Master of Architecture degree from Princeton University. Greg Lynn FORM has been at the forefront of omputer-aided design in the field of architecture. His projects, teaching, and writings have been influential in the use of advanced technology for design and fabrication. The CCA holds the archives of his project Embryological House (1997– 2001), a ground-breaking early work of digitally created theoretical architecture.
Michael Maltzan's proposed new building for the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), a NASA laboratory in Pasadena, California, seeks to bridge the chasm between the emotional qualities of space exploration and the bureaucratic nature of the scientific research that underlies these missions. The scientists at the JPL (established in the 1930s) have been involved in many of the most important chapters in the history of space exploration. Maltzan's design, still in a preliminary phase, challenges existing architectural models for campuses that house scientific research, and proposes a new type of physical environment to facilitate collaboration. Writes Maltzan, "I am interested in the radically different scale between the space the scientists inhabit in their minds and their day-to-day experience."
This dichotomy between earthbound scientists and their work at the scale of outer space is reflected in the exhibition. In the first gallery, a video of space exploration shows the sublime and heroic qualities of the images received from outer space. The second gallery presents the day-to-day technical and bureaucratic life of the JPL through data received from the Cassini mission, which is currently exploring Saturn and its moons. Study models created at the beginning of the design phase, as well as models of the current proposal for the JPL building created for the exhibition are displayed throughout the two galleries dedicated to Maltzan's work.
Describing his aims for the exhibition, Maltzanstates, "In the show, I would be very happy for someone to not necessarily understand the building. I imagine somehow creating an in-between that has an equivalency to what we were trying to produce in the building in terms of the experience. I think it is better if the show provokes you to ask questions as opposed to providing any. Because the building as a whole provides an answer; it's the ending to the story. So, it's probably good to, in that sense, not have the ending."
Michael Maltzan (born 1959 in Levittown, New York) is principal of Michael Maltzan Architecture in Los Angeles (www.mmaltzan.com). He holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts and a Bachelor of Architecture from Rhode Island School of Design, as well as a Master of Architecture degree from Harvard University. Maltzan has created a practice that engages the increasingly complex reality of contemporary urbanization. His work with art centres, museums, and housing projects for the homeless charts a new trajectory for contemporary architecture and the public realm.
The 1969 moon landing radically changed Alessandro Poli's vision of planet earth, leading him to develop a new idea of geography. Other Space Odysseys revisits projects of his that explored drastically different proposals for connecting the earth's environment to the new reality of outer space. In the exhibition, Poli's current reflections on his research are presented alongside his original projects. The first gallery is dedicated to Architettura interplanetaria (Interplanetary Architecture – 1972), a film by the radical Italian architecture group Superstudio (of which Poli was a member from 1970-72) that imagined a form for architecture at an interplanetary scale, including a highway from the earth to the moon. In addition to the film, preparatory materials including sketches, collages, and storyboards are on display.
Conscious that manned space exploration also implied a return to earth, in 1974 Poli began the research for Cultura Materiale Extraurbana (Extra-Urban Material Culture) in parallel with several members of Superstudio. Challenging the optimism and technological dependence of space explorations, the protagonist of one chapter in this project was Zeno, a Tuscan peasant, whom Poli continued to study with Zeno — research on a self-sufficient culture. In a second gallery, Zeno's tools are on display, along with a series of drawings made by Poli in an attempt to document and to understand Zeno's world. A large-scale drawing illustrates the contrast between the clothes worn by Zeno and the spacesuit of astronauts such as Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin. In contrast to the astronauts of the Apollo missions, who required highly sophisticated capsules and suits to survive in their new environments, Zeno used and reused the same objects; applying his resourcefulness in making and readapting them, he was completely self-sufficient. Poli's current reflections are crystallized in the 2008 collage Zeno and Aldrin meet in Riparbella, which illustrates the relationship between the two characters, while highlighting the principal theme of the exhibition: the rediscovery of earth through the exploration of space.
Alessandro Poli (born 1941 in Florence, Italy) lives and works as an architect in Florence. He holds a Master of architecture degree from the University of Florence. From 1970 to 1972 he was part of the Italian radical architecture group Superstudio (Adolfo Natalini, Cristiano Toraldo di Francia, Roberto Magris, Gian Piero Frassinelli, Alessandro Magris). From 1973 to 1982 he taught at the Faculty of Architecture, University of Florence, focusing from 1974 to 1980 on the research for Cultura materiale extraurbana. Part of this work was presented at the 38th Venice Biennale (1978) with Superstudio. His current research investigates the relationship between art and architecture at different scales: lately he has been focusing on the design of exhibitions and of contemporary art jewellery.
Other Space Odysseys, a publication edited by Giovanna Borasi and Mirko Zardini accompanies the exhibition. Available in both English and French editions, the book features illustrated interviews between Giovanna Borasi and both Greg Lynn and Michael Maltzan. Alessandro Poli has written an original text (Nearing the Moon to the Earth), as well as a fictional interview between the astronaut Aldrin and the farmer Zeno. The projects of Lynn, Maltzan, and Poli are presented through descriptive texts, original documents, and illustrations. Giovanna Borasi (Vantage Points Accessible for the First Time: A Story in Six Chapters) and Mirko Zardini (Being Zeno Fiaschi Today) also contribute essays to the volume.
Co-published by the CCA and Lars Müller, the book will be available in April through the CCA Bookstore for $35 CAD (www.cca.qc.ca/bookstore).
Other Space Odysseys: Greg Lynn, Michael Maltzan, Alessandro Poli, April 8-September 6, 2010.

Today is National Young Readers Day here in the U.S. I have fond memories of this time in elementary school, where our class would hold a contest for who could read the most books by this day. The four winners would get a pizza party date with our teacher. Between my fervent love of reading and my crush on my second-grade teacher, I was all about winning this prize. And I did! It was a great memory, having stacks of books set aside, knowing that I was familiar with each of them.
Kids now have many options that I didn't have growing up, thanks to technology. Instead of dog-eared pages, many new and classic books are available in digital/e-book formats. Teachers and parents around the globe have shared with us that reading comics is critical to helping children learn to read. Tying these two things together, we have great news for you, comics fans.
Today is the official release for three Calvin and Hobbes e-book collections, courtesy of our sister company Andrews McMeel Publishing! It's the first time ever that Bill Watterson, creator of the iconic strip, has allowed his work to live in e-book format. He had a hand in reviewing the layout of the entire series, so knowthat this was fully blessed by the man himself. If you grew up reading Calvin or discovered the strip in the newspapers as an adult, you'll enjoy laughing and pondering the meaning of things that may have been overlooked. They are also a perfect way to introduce comics to youngsters and to encourage their love for reading.
Plus, if you take them out for pizza afterward, I know that they'd love it. Trust me on this one.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Wednesday accused his election rivals of adopting smear tactics used by Germany's dictator Adolf Hitler and said they could face jail for insulting him.
Ahmadinejad was speaking at a rally in Tehran on the final day of an increasingly bitter and hard-fought election campaign, in which he faces a growing challenge from moderate former prime minister Mirhossein Mousavi.
Mousavi and the two other candidates say Ahmadinejad has lied about the state of the economy which is suffering from high inflation and a fall in oil revenues from last year's record levels.
Ahmadinejad said his rivals had broken laws against insulting the president.
"No one has the right to insult the president, and they did it. And this is a crime. The person who insulted the president should be punished, and the punishment is jail," he told supporters outside Tehran's Sharif University.
"Such insults and accusations against the government are a return to Hitler's methods, to repeat lies and accusations … until everyone believes those lies," Ahmadinejad said.
Nuff said.

A video created by two Olympia High School journalism students intended as a comedy sketch turned into a bigger mass media lesson than they bargained for this week.
Austin Oberbillig and Evan Ricks produced ?Lunch Scholars? in the vein of Jay Leno?s ?Jay Walking? sketch series and asked fellow students (who signed a consent waiver) basic questions about history, geography and current events.
While the filmmakers say many had the correct answers, some were surprising - and those made the final cut.
A few days later a Huffington Post reporter used it to highlight some of the country?s education woes.
As of Friday afternoon, the video has been shared on Facebook nearly 13,000 times and spurred more thousands (mostly negative) comments.
The video was originally posted by the students on Vimeo, but they decided to take it down. It has since been resurrected on YouTube.
In a statement posted on the OHS student newspaper?s website , Ricks writes:
"Students found Jay Leno?s ?Jay Walking? videos funny and decided to make one of their own. As is natural for a comic bit, the creators edited in the funniest responses, with the students? consent. Though there were many correct answers to these pop questions, the comments in national forums concentrate on the negative, and, as usual, do not take into consideration the amount of editing it took to get these funny, incorrect answers. So, we are taking down our video. Thanks for thinking about this. It is an interesting lesson for all.".
Reporter Laura Hibbard uses the well-produced video as an intro into a breakdown of United States' poor international rankings in subjects like math and reading.
What Hibbard doesn?t say is Olympia High ranks as one of the best in the state in graduation rates, AP test results and SAT scores.
"It was intended for here in the school and when it got to be as big as it did, they felt like their fellow students were unfairly portrayed," said Olympia School District spokesman Ryan Betz. "I think the students are disappointed at how it made their school look."
Olympia High is the defending state champion in the 'Knowledge Bowl" competition.
Betz said the video was a major topic of discussion during journalism class at OHS this week.
