Help me figure this out-total newbie!
I am looking to build an extension on my home, aprox. 1500-2000 square feet. I am getting rough #'s from gc's for aprox what it will cost per square foot, but they dont know exactly until I have architect drawings. I dont know how big/small to tell my architect to make as I dont know what it will cost. Where should I be starting from??? The architect or the GC?? (it goes round & round like the chicken & the egg...) That is my main question.
I have a budget and I'm trying to stay within it, I know everyone goes over so I was thinking of just going with the smaller addition.
Next comment was that I was considering GC'ing this myself so I can save some money (i think alot). I do have several contacts with framers, electricians etc. and I'm getting some prices but I dont really have a complete listing of what I will need. I really am curious as to how much I could save whether its worth it or not.
Also, shouldn't GC's break down the estimates for me, is that a valid request?
Thanks so much for your help, I have more questions too,I'm so into this website I'm addicted to it, besides, I really need help!!!!!LOL ;)
Yeah, you gotta start somewhere...
Around here the 'ballpark' price for new consruction is about $120/ sq. ft. This get's you middle-of-the-road stuff, not the most expensive but not the absolute cheapest either. That might help you figure out how much sq ft you can afford, so that you can get some drawings and some firm prices.
GC'ing is a pain in the butt, but building on your house is that too, good luck, keep us posted. :)
will probably give you a general quote in the begining, such as $100-$110 per sq foot. Im in the process of researching an addition myself, and am going thru the same chicken/egg process.
I had the GC come out and tell me what I could and couldnt do first. He knew the building codes, etc, and told me I couldnt add out (as opposed to up) like I originally planned, so Id have them out first. If you want to use him, He should give you a breakdown if you ask for it, but he probably wont for the estimate, especially since you dont have plans. I believe most GC's add on about 30% or so for thier services (they can correct me here).
After he lets you know if you can do what you want, you can use a 'residencial designer' instead of an archetect if you dont have any really special needs...they do everything the arct does without the degree and generally cost less.
As for GCing yourself, add some time to your project. the GC will have people he works with and can whip them in line. If your doing it, and another job comes up that pays more, you may lose your people for a bit, which is no big deal unless your in a hurry. Im planning on contracting mine.
good luck!
If ya GC it yourself better plan on taking some time off work.....a lot of time......being a GC is a full time job. We just don't take our cut and walk around.

|Dietrich VIDEO?
|Henderson VIDEO?
|Martin VIDEO?
|Perna VIDEO?
The Tennessee men's tennis team sent a loud and clear message to the rest of the Southeastern Conference Friday--Volunteer tennis is alive and well. The No. 27-ranked Vol netters proved that in convincing fashion with a 4-1 victory over No. 15 Alabama at UT's Varsity Courts. The win improved the Vols' record to 7-4 (1-2 SEC), while the Crimson Tide fell to 11-2 (1-2 SEC).
"It really showed me a lot of guts and character that [this] team could lose its opening two SEC matches last weekend and then turn it around and play such a tough, committed match today," Tennessee head coach Michael Fancutt said. "Also, it shows me the advantage of playing at home in the SEC and having the crowd behind you. The guys just played a very, very good match. They've been working really hard even though we've struggled in some of our matches. They kept their heads up and today just shows it paying off."
"This feels great," Vol junior Wade Orr said. "This almost borders with winning the SEC Tournament last year because every match we play this year, we know it's going to be tough. We're basically underdogs in each match. To win this match after losing the doubles point pretty quickly... it just feels really good."
Alabama first-year head coach Billy Pate saw his squad take a 1-0 lead in the match by winning at Nos. 2 and 3 doubles and claiming the doubles point.
Despite dropping two of the the three doubles contests on the day, Tennessee once again got a strong performance from its unranked duo of Mark Dietrich and Orr. With Friday's dismantling of Alabama's Maxim Belski and Geoff Hiscox, the pair has now won three consecutive matches at the No. 1 position, and holds a 9-2 overall record this season.
"We've been playing well all year really," Orr said. "We've been holding our serves and we've found a way to pull together and get a break in each match we've played. We haven't lost our serve in the last three matches."
Tennessee then came out firing in singles competition, taking early leads on almost every court. Orr won quickly at the No. 4 spot to put the Vols on the scoreboard. Simon Rea then won at the No. 2 position. It was Rea's 19th singles victory of the season. Sophomore Mark Henderson looked sharp, snapping a three-match SEC losing skid by defeating Alabama's Christian Brodersen 6-3, 7-5.
With only three singles contests left on the courts, and Tennessee holding a 3-1 match lead, it became evident that nothing would come easily for either team. All three matches went to a third set, and the race was on to see which team would walk away a winner.
As he has done all season long, Dietrich, currently ranked No. 69 in the nation, wore his emotions on his sleeve as he gutted out point after point in the thrilling No. 2 singles match. Finally, rallying behind constant cheers from the home crowd, Dietrich captured the third set by a score of 6-4. The crowd erupted as the big-serving sophomore pumped his fist and let out a joyous yell after clinching his team's first SEC win of the season.
"I like to be in the spotlight I guess," Dietrich said jokingly as his teammates laughed. "I had faith in my teammates, but I just put it away earlier I guess. I just tried to focus on my court and tried to be oblivious to the other two matches so I could take care of it."
"The guys all put in great performances, everybody did today," Fancutt said. "Simon Rea led from the top, beating one of the best players in the conference, (No. 63 Maxim Belski) 6-3, 6-0. All the way down to Mark Dietrich clinching the match, you don't even want to single anybody out because everybody put in a great performance all-around. It was really a great team performance."
The Vols will now look to even their conference record as they play host to No. 19 Auburn (7-2, 1-1 SEC) Sunday at 1 p.m. at the Varsity Courts. Admission to the match is free, and live scoring will be available at UTsports.com.

Don't Do These 4 Things When Looking for Work in Portland
I graduated from the University of Oregon with a packed resume in 2011, including five internships, and figured all my career dreams would fall into place with ease. But after sending out resumes and cover letters for six months, I landed only two phone interviews.
My positive spirit was slowly crushed and as the weeks and months passed, I realized my dream job simply wasn't coming to fruition. For most of 2012, I was a waitress to pay the bills.
My plan was to work part-time while I continued to pursue my career goals on the side. However, as months passed, I got so burnt out that I put my career search on hiatus.
In 2013, I re-evaluated my job search tactics. I knew I had a great resume for a recent graduate, so what was I doing wrong?
It turns out my biggest mistake had been my approach to my job search. Don't do these four things when looking for work:
Be Over-Confident
Confidence is a great quality, but you have to maintain a sense of realism. I wasted my time applying for jobs I wasn't qualified for. It's an employers market right now, and if a job posting asks for five years of experience, you can bet that's the minimum required.
Forget Your Online Presence
I was applying for positions that had a social media component, yet I wasn't engaging in my own accounts – that doesn't leave a great impression! I hadn't even listed my college graduation on my LinkedIn profile, let alone all the internships I had completed. My blog hadn't been updated in nearly a year; it had broken links, and a two-year old resume in the portfolio section. Make sure your online presence is in tip-top shape before you even send out that first resume.
Never Network
I knew I should be networking, but it sounded uncomfortable and so I never even tried. I didn't request an informational interview or attend any networking events, and obviously wasn't meeting anyone on LinkedIn or Twitter. At the time, I thought I could just skip over this step. I was so confident my dream job would be around the corner, why do something that was intimidating?
Apply Only to Online Job Postings
As a result of the mistakes mentioned above, I only applied to online postings. I had four to five places I would look every week, and that's it. The problem with this tactic is that 200+ other individuals are applying for those jobs too! In today's market, only 80% of jobs are ever posted, and a handful of those are already filled with in-house candidates so a posting is often just a legal requirement. This is why networking is so important.
In my next four posts, I'll share insights I've gained over the past few months that can alleviate some of the job search struggle you may be encountering.
What have you learned the hard way during your search for that dream job?

Home Depot Wood shrinkage after building deck Richmond Virginia
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
The first part of 2014 around March I bought deck boards from Home Depot to replace my aging deck boards that were split and popping up. The boards in question were advertised as 5/4 by 6 inch. I used the 12 foot lengths. I spent at least $725 including screws and sealer for redoing the top surface. I bought the wood at different intervals usually 15 to 20 boards at a time.
I installed the boards (with 2 screws every 16 to 20 inches across more at joints) butted as close to each other as possible both from the side and end to end. After about 30 days I noticed some gaps showing up between the boards where there was none at first. Next, I applied Thonpsons water seal after the designated time on the container had passed over 30 days in full sun. A few weeks later, the gaps continued to expand to about 3/8 inch in some places. I took some of my tickets ( what I could find) to the Home Depot on Broad near Dickens Road and explained situation. [continued below]....
Now, it is June and most of my deck boards have contiued to shrink to in some cases gaps of 1/2 inch and greater which along with the end to end gaps and warping leave a trip hazard at best, not to mention an unsightly mess of all my hard work. I trusted Home Depot to give me a reasonable quality product for my money and all I got was a big mess that I don't know what to do with. Some boards measure 5 1/4 inch which is in my opinion false advertising for a so called 6 inch which I realize will be some less for finishing the edges approx 5 3/4.
My deck is now a mess and safety hazard and I don't even want to look at it depressing to say the least.

I know a certain amount of shrinkage is allowable but 5 3/4 down to 5 1/4 is more than acceptable.
1/2 inch between boards is rediculous Maybe you are not very particular about your work but I expect more. I have build decks before but never had this much change in the lumber.
If you like gaps between your deck boards I suggest you go and buy from the same place I did.

SUBMITTED: Tuesday, June 10, 2014POSTED: Tuesday, June 10, 2014
Seriously? You're upset that lumber shrinks? This is nothing new, it's part of the process of the wood curing. The store didn't "rip you off" it sold you a product that react the way it ALWAYS reacts. If you wanted something that would never shrink you should have bought composite decking.

2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid EPA Certified at 47 MPG (City/Highway)

Ford bests Toyota in hybrid efficiency
Ford has announced that the official EPA fuel efficiency numbers are in for its new midsize 2013 Fusion Hybrid. The Fusion Hybrid is now the most fuel-efficient midsize sedan in the country with an EPA rating of 47 mpg in the city, 47 mpg on the highway, and 47 mpg combined.
Those numbers top the Toyota Camry Hybrid by eight mpg on the highway and 4 mpg in the city. Ford continues to utilize efficient gasoline engines, electric motors, and lithium-ion batteries to allow its hybrid vehicles to achieve the same fuel efficiency on the highway as they're able to achieve in the city.
The EPA numbers surpassed Ford's
previous estimates
"The new Fusion is part of our plan to offer vehicles with the very best quality, fuel efficiency, safety, smart design and value," says Alan Mulally, Ford president and CEO. "We are absolutely committed to class-leading fuel efficiency as a reason to buy Ford vehicles, with customers able to choose the fuel-efficient powertrain that best fits their lifestyle."
The 2013 Fusion Hybrid is capable of traveling up to 62 mph on electricity alone. The car also has Active Grill Shutters to make the car more aerodynamic at highway speeds to help improve fuel efficiency. The hybrid also has an underbody with an aerodynamically designed panel to help improve fuel efficiency even further.
"Fusion is a driver's car," said Raj Nair, group vice president of Product Development. "We have carefully tuned this car to reward the driving expert and flatter the novice."
Ford will offer four different versions of the 2013 Fusion. The vehicle will be offered with a 1.6-liter EcoBoost engine rated for 29 mpg combined. A two-liter EcoBoost engine is available with 26 mpg combined. The 2.5-liter version of the vehicle is rated for 26 mpg combined. The plug-in hybrid version of the Fusion, called the Energi is rated for over 100 MPGe.
"Mac OS X is like living in a farmhouse in the country with no locks, and Windows is living in a house with bars on the windows in the bad part of town." -- Charlie Miller

In pre-school, it was recess time. I told my teacher I had to go to the bathroom and she told me to wait until recess was over. Well at that age, you don't wait to go potty. You just do it. So I went over to the fence by myself, started crying and started to let it flow. Teacher runs over and starts carrying me to the bathroom. All the while, I'm pissing on her chest.
Fast forward a week later, it was recess time again. I had to go again so I tell the same teacher and she told me to hold it. She wanted to teach me a lesson. Bish didn't learn from the last time. So I went over to my spot. I saw the green grass turning yellow because of the last time. I started crying again and just pissed myself. My mom had to come in to take me home because the teachers had enough. Man she was pissed.

Home > News & Events > News > Articles > Dukakis Fellows Learn Governing from Governors
As a Harvard Kennedy School (HKS) Michael S. Dukakis Governors' Summer Fellow, Jon Hollander is on a mission. His personal passions—antipoverty work and human services—came together during his summer-long fellowship as a policy analyst in Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick's office, where he worked on the issue of human trafficking.
One of just three states that do not have a statue with specific criminal penalties for this form of modern-day slavery, the Massachusetts legislature is now on track to rectify this situation.
"I bring together stakeholders such as public health officials, the attorney general's office, and the state police," said Hollander. "So we'll be ready to hit the ground running" when the bill passes (at this writing, the legislation is in conference committee). He has also been using the skills he's learning at HKS to analyze policy.
"Being in the governor's office has given me experience in and exposure to how policy is made and the skills I need to succeed," Hollander said. "Every day I learn something new about policy and state government."
This is music to the ears of Calvin Gross AB 1956, who established the Dukakis Fellows program during his 50th Harvard College reunion to honor his Brookline High School friend, former Massachusetts Governor Michael Dukakis. Both Gross and Dukakis wanted to focus specifically on providing HKS students with experience in state executive offices.
"There's an absolute need for high-caliber individuals to serve in the states, and Mike and I felt these fellowships would allow students to learn while providing valuable input to the governors," said Gross.
Dukakis concurs, "Our hope is that this fellowship will lead to a long-term professional involvement in state governments. It whets [the fellows'] appetite for more."
That was certainly true for Mary Ellen Smith MPP 10, who completed her fellowship in Colorado under Governor Bill Ritter in 2009. She now works as a policy adviser to current Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper.
"I was drawn to governors' offices in particular because I'd worked in politics before coming to the Kennedy School," Smith said. "I wanted to use the political skills I'd developed with policy goals as the end game. That's something I really like about the governor's office—being the policy person who also has to figure out how to get items through the legislature and bring the advocacy community together." Colorado has been particularly fertile ground for the program, the governor's office is currently working with its third fellow.
Mary Beaulieu, assistant dean and director of HKS's Office of Career Advancement, administers the program. Each year, she and her team reach out to new states with the goal of providing a good mix of Republican and Democratic administration. Students may also initiate their own application with a state that interests them.
Since the program started, 25 Dukakis Fellows have learned from and provided 14 states with their expertise. Maryland has had six fellows and Colorado, Hawaii, and Massachusetts have each had three over the past five years (one year Maryland had two fellows).
"We're expecting the students to network with each other and those whom they meet during their fellowships, and that many of them remain in state government," said Gross. "We hope this program helps them become better citizens, allows them to assist the community, and gives them an appreciation of what's involved in government at the state level."

New Caledonia's Napoemien tribe live a self-sufficient lifestyle under the leafy cover of their vast valley, writes Sue Baxalle.
To the uninformed passerby the valley stretches out in a vast, leafy, empty mass of forest. But secluded among the coconut palms, hibiscus and exotic plants lives the Napoemien tribe.
Like almost all the tribes in New Caledonia, the extended family take their name from the river running through the valley. And it is on the bank of the river, well off the main road and far from the nearest town of Poindimie, that we meet our guide for the day, Jehudit Pwidja.
The Melanesian tour guide lives with his wife, Priscille, daughter, Djaoun, 4, and sons Marcellin, 9, and Kaaea, 2 months.
Before heading to his house where we will have lunch, Jehudit takes us on a two-hour trek through tribal land.
Until 1946, the Napoemien, like all other tribes, were restricted by the French government to their "reserves" in valleys away from the roads. Jehudit shows us the creek that served as a boundary that they were forbidden to cross, even to visit other tribes.
Revolts against the system were rife before 1946 but Jehudit said the Kanaks' lances and slingshots were of little use against the French army's weapons.
Asked how much land the Napoemien own, Jehudit just laughs. It's not possible to measure in hectares, he says, waving an arm across the valley.
About 200 people live in the traditional way here, almost totally self-sufficient, each family group maintaining its own garden so that all their fruit and vegetables are home-grown.
Jehudit says the Napoemien are protected by nature with the abundant trees sheltering their tribal land, which provides the food they need. Meat is largely hunted - deer and wild pig - or found in the river - fish and abundant prawns - though chickens are raised by some families.
Given the amount of coffee trees growing wild in the valley it would even be possible for that to be home-dried and ground, too, although Jehudit says most people now go for the easy option of buying coffee.
Trips to the supermarket are purely for household items and staples such as rice, sugar, salt, milk, coffee and oil.
The Napoemien live mostly in modern-style houses, although Jehudit has rebuilt a traditional "case" or round hut, using skills he had to consult the older generation to learn.
His father's generation was keen to modernise and some of the old ways were lost, a problem which is increasing as many of the young are now moving to the towns, particularly Noumea, or to the mines in search of work.
Jehudit's four brothers work in Noumea and his sister works as a cook for a mine in the northern province.
He himself was trained as a hydraulic mechanic but abandoned this to return to tribal life.
Fiercely proud of his culture, Jehudit recognises the importance of keeping the traditions alive, and sees tourism as a way of achieving that while also boosting the New Caledonian economy. He trained as a guide to show off the richness of Napoemien life.
Until the 1980s, when water reticulation was installed in the valley, water was piped from the waterways using bamboo rods and in 1992 electricity came to the Napoemien, so television is now a standard accessory for families, although computers and PlayStations are rare.
So while some modernisation is happening, the old ways are still a vital part of life. Many plants, for example, have medicinal uses.
Jehudit says his grandmother instilled in him a great respect for the environment and he, in turn, is passing this on to his children.
While the Melanesian people I meet on my visit seem friendly, Jehudit says this may not have been the welcome for some of the original French missionaries. He said even as recently as his great-grandparents' generation, cannibalism was practised.
"My grandmother says the fingers were the most tender and were given to the children."
The Napoemien speak the Paici language, one of the four Kanak languages now taught in schools (the others are Nengone, Wailou and Dregus).
There are 28 languages in New Caledonia, each totally different. Once the children start school they must also learn French.
The Napoemien tribe has its own school for the younger children. After age 11 they go by bus to Poindimie. Young Marcellin and Djaoun must cross the river adjacent to their house twice a day to get to and from school. And if it floods that is no excuse, says Jehudit - he carries them across.
Our trek though Napoemien land culminates with a visit to the tribe's ancient treasure: petroglyphs dating from 1000-2000BC.
New Caledonia has many petroglyphs but unfortunately neither their origin nor their significance are known. But Jehudit believes one of these represents the sun.
More "living fossils" precious to the tribe include the kaori tree and the columnar pine, two of the 41 species endemic to New Caledonia. And the Napoemien also boast a variety of tree fern particular to their valley, which has three or four heads instead of the usual one.
And now it is time for lunch. Waiting back at the case are Priscille and the children, who along with Jehudit busy themselves to unveil the contents of the bougna (pronounced boon-ya).
Similar to a Maori hangi, the bougna is a traditional Kanak oven of red-hot stones.
The day before Jehudit and Marcellin had gathered wood to lay over the stones, which are heated. Once the wood has burnt away, the food, wrapped in banana leaves tied up with strips of coconut leaves, is placed on the stones and covered with sheets of niaouli bark, again held down by stones to keep the heat in.
Two hours later the bougna is ready. Inside the main banana leaf parcel are prawns, sweet potato, yams and cassava. A smaller parcel contains a leafy vegetable they call Kanak cabbage, mixed with grated coconut and coconut milk.
Jehudit explained that the whole family (except baby Kaaea, of course), had a role in preparing the meal; he and Marcellin had caught the prawns the day before.
On the table is rice with coconut milk, a salad of green papaya, chicken, pumpkin leaves, potatoes and taro - which had also been wrapped in leaves and cooked to the side of the bougna.
The fruit juice in the jug is a freshly squeezed mixture of passionfruit, papaya, banana, lemon and coconut juice, but first Jehudit lops the top off a coconut for each of us and the juice is the perfect cooling refreshment.
The bougna banquet is perfect. And all the better for knowing it is totally fresh and home-grown.
Getting there: Aircalin, the international airline of New Caledonia, has four departures a week to Noumea from Auckland and is the only airline with business class on the Auckland-Noumea route.
Tribal visits: Visiting a Kanak tribe is the best way to get a taste of the real New Caledonia. Some offer overnight accommodation and the chance to participate in fishing or food preparation. These visits should be organised through the tourist office, especially if you want to ensure a Kanak guide who can speak English.

Sue Baxalle visited the Napoemien tribe with assistance from New Caledonia Tourism and Aircalin.


text: Remember that LSAT is a different breed of test than anything you have come in contact with... This is not a memorization test like 95% of all tests given in an educational setting. I honestly think that it is completely ineffective to study for more than 2 or 3 hours (3 hours is really pushing it) in one day.LSAT is more like learning to play an instrument. One hour a day is much better than a 10 hour jam-out on Saturday.Keep in mind it's all about consistency. My score got stuck on 158-162 FOREVER then I just randomly jumped up 4 pts one day and never looked back. If I could do it all over again I would have just studied for 1-2hrs a day but made it a priority (i.e. go hide somewhere and turn off your cell phone. Make it a meaningful 1 or 2 hours).After that don't feel bad if you go play. You need to turn off and do some mindless activity and let this crap soak in. I suggest only studying 6 days a week.Remember, it's like playing an instrument... The absolute worst thing you could do is burn out or panic, this will ensure a frustrating experience come test time.Don't worry, you got it. You sound like a hard working person and I hope that it goes really well for you!

Intelligence jobs can be some of the most exciting, rewarding forms of employment in the world, keeping workers on their toes at all times and giving them the sense that their efforts are contributing to the nation's well-being.
While some of these intelligence jobs involve workers performing their duties out in the field, many people work behind the scenes conducting a number of crucial activities including analyzing information, designing software, writing reports and translating foreign documents, according to the government's intelligence website.
According to the site, there are 17 different agencies that comprise the Intelligence Community (IC), including the Department of Defense (DoD), the National Security Agency (NSA), the Department of Energy (DoE), the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).
In the CIA, those with security clearance can find employment in a variety of sectors, including engineering, science, technology and analysis. These positions can be found throughout the U.S. as well as overseas.
Those with security clearance seeking a new job should consider one of the many intelligence jobs available in the government, as these positions can give a person opportunities they never thought possible.

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
John Sigler, longtime NRA board member and retired police captain from Delaware replaced Sandra S. Froman as NRA president yesterday. Of course, you'd never know it from their website, where Froman's President's Column is still up. Or if you read the news. There were no news stories on Sigler's first day, nary a press release.
We heard about the changeover via NRA radio (they have a nightly show at 9pm EDT):
As you can imagine this is not the way I wanted my presidency to begin, but it is important for our members to understand that we will do everything we can. If there is any way we can assist with law enforcement or with the families- I have no idea what that would be, it's probably a hollow offer at best. We hope for an early resolution so the families can put this behind them.
The NRA too would surely like to see this incident behind them. But for now be sure that, yes, they will do everything they can to fight what will surely be a slew of new legislative proposals, on handgun purchases, background checks, concealed weapons, the gamut.
Froman, who was the second female president in the history of the NRA, gave a speech two weeks ago at Harvard Law School where she railed against New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin's decision to confiscate guns from residents immediately following Hurricane Katrina. She said that the New Orleans government was "profoundly incompetent" and added that a person having a gun could have served as a safety net: "If the government isn't protecting you, then it's an insurance policy."
Vigilante justice anyone?

The government of Turkey has engaged in warfare against Kurdish rebels due to its systematic programs of discrimination and second class citizenship toward Kurds. The result has been a nasty and brutal war in which both sides have resorted to tactics resulting in death of innocent people. Leyla Zana is a Kurd who serves in the Turkish parliament and apparently lacks any confidence that her government seeks peace with the Kurdish people. Although the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party(PKK) was preparing to announce a cease fire, she urged them to continue the armed struggle. "The armed conflict forced everyone to choose a side. I would never argue for laying down arms. Weapons are the insurance policy."
Actually, weapons are an insurance policy which ensures death, not life. Her argument is necessity on the part of the government to prove it means peace and not until there is evidence should arms be put aside. There is also the issue of trust. A unilateral cease fire places the ball into the court of the Turkish government. Let them prove themselves unable to work for peace.

Review: VISUAL ARTS
There's a big difference between layout and composition. Layout is a term associated with graphic design. Books, magazines and multimedia products are arranged by more or less systematic measures of text and image, margins, typographic weight and size. Elements are juggled according to criteria such as legibility and hierarchies of information.
When painters and photographers talk of composition, they mean something different.
It's the energy within an image or a field that makes pictorial sense. The colour, lines, volumes and gestures activate the surface. The various formal elements strengthen a mood or evocative suggestion in the subject matter.
Composition is integral to the meaning of the work and is forged with the image. It is one of the great aesthetic mysteries.
Many contemporary painters seem to prefer the relatively mechanistic framework of layout to the organic arguments of visual music that is composition.
Many are used to working on the computer with design software, in which scaling and shifting images around a field are easy.
The visual language of layout is familiar to the public and practised by anyone presenting a slide-show in Powerpoint. So it isn't surprising that the fugitive art of composition is yielding to the designer look of layout.
An example is John Young at Anna Schwartz Gallery. Within chromatically undistinguished fields, images are floated in rectangles, as if dropped in and shunted there by the mouse. The images of flowers and naked nubiles are themselves photo-dependent - lacking any sense of perceptual engagement - so the language of painting is compromised from within and without.
Composition is . . . one of the great aesthetic mysteries.
Similar things could be said of Peter James Smith's Fading light at Gallery 101, which also configures images like inserts, as if the canvas were a kind of screen with resized pictures and text dropped upon it.
But the arbitrary graphic habits are saved by a worthy idea: the image blocks are layered with mathematical texts, proposing ironic relations to the pictures.
Sunset imagery of forbidding cliffs suggests all the ingredients most difficult to capture by mathematics. The danger, the chaotic behaviour of weather, the zeal of mariners and the sublimity of the evening light cannot easily be quantified. Most phenomena, at some point, are beyond measurement.
The strongest grasp of composition in painting is cultivated by artists who least profess the science of measurement.
Two brilliant exhibitions by Aboriginal artists reassure you that the art of composition - which is so intrinsic to good painting - is thriving. Greeny Purvis Petyarre at Gallery Gabrielle Pizzi and Dorothy Napangardi at Flinders Lane Gallery demonstrate a vigorous pictorial organisation.
In a wandering geometry, a beguiling nomadic regularity, the construction grows out of dots in alignment, forming linear elements that follow pathways and patches.
With Napangardi, sometimes they form grids or concentric patterns, but never predictable as design.
The pictorial unit of the dot doesn't simply sit on the surface. Petyarre achieves great depth by virtue of layering.
His dots have a slight transparency over the dark. As they ride on top of one another, their brightness increases, creating waves of colour that outshine the neighbouring zones. The degree of overlap is well-controlled, resulting in a compositional push and pull of subtlety and profundity.
These remarkable works communicate the certainty with which both artists commit the next dot, their knowledge of where the energies must go to fulfil a journey.
The argument of density and direction is the antithesis of layout in which predetermined images and text blocks are manipulated to achieve the most arresting slickness.
The art of composition among Aboriginal artists is not confined to dot paintings. While at Gabrielle Pizzi, check out the pictures of Billy Benn. His panoramic views of the centre have more chromatic vitality and compositional understanding than their scruffy execution would suggest.
The paintings roll and surge with the topography, bursting with the peculiar energy of the dry but ever-changing garden that is central Australia.

? Hah!I'm prepared. And ready to spend whatever it takes :D
The quest chain looks awesome so far.
Looks good so far just a slight typo under the Actionable Intelligence part it reads:"Once you have used the seen the cutscene in The Nexus, Tarecgosa tasks you to deliver information on what you have seen to Kalecgos at Nordrassil in Mount Hyjal"Should probably fix that but other than that post and quest line looks great :D
Its sad i might not be able to do this with the way our guild is assigning who gets the staff =(.
Very cool.
Watch the rage of the people who say"blizz make it easy to get cause im a causal and can't do this" atm i don't think i will be able to get this while it is prime content and im fine with that, means ill just have to put the effort in and convince my guild to go back and keep on it even after this is just old news. Happening all the time in my server for Shadowmourne. So stop whining if you really want it just go back and get it. This is not a response but a don't start post.
The questline seems kewl, I just dont want a staff since my favourite toons are melee >.>
I don't know, the questline seems fairly complete to me.
Question: Will everybody be able to loot the Heart of Flame or will it just go to one person?By the looks of it only one person will get it because it's legendary.
wow I was expecting this to be harder to obtain than shadowmourne, but damn... thats a long chain quest.lol so apparently, you kill Ragnaros before you get the staff? so maybe we need to do heroic mode for the rest of the quests?
aww man! that means I'll have to wait for my Vial of the Sands! Then again, the majority of the money would be spent on the same thing, so I guess it doesn't matter. But Legendary items with their own quest line come first.
No one seems to see that the Heart of Flame quest has an extra thing on it. We need 250 Soul Flame Essences so more then less just like the kill stuff in ICC only we have to ALSO kill the last boss. -_-
The only thing I'm concerned about right now is that it might work like the Shadowmourne shards. Shadowmourne was only for 3 classes, warriors, death knights, and paladins. This means that the usefulness of the shards was limited, and there weren't TOO many people rolling for them. Maybe 4 or 5 in a 25 man. This can be used by 5 classes.
And immidiately after the next expansion, you disenchant it. xD
I'm still confused why non-casters cannot even get this quest chain.Considering the fact that any raid items are quest-based and the rest of your guild won't effected if, saw, a warrior goes and gets this...I mean, a mage can get the Shadowmourn quest.

With yarn and the right tools, kids can create a fuzzy little creature out of a few yards of yarn! They'll have a blast decorating and playing with a new pom-pom friend.
Gather your materials. With scissors, cut a piece of yarn about 5 inches long. Set it aside--you'll use it later to finish the pom-pom creature.
Hold the pom-pom maker in one hand. Using your other hand, start winding the yarn around and around. Don't wrap it too tightly or it may be difficult to remove from the winder later. Use about 25 yards of yarn to create one big, fluffy pom-pom creature.
When you run out of yarn, take the cut piece of yarn and tie it around the middle of the yarn between the arms of the pom-pom maker.
Pull the yarn off the pom-pom maker. Take the scissors and cut both ends of the looped yarn. You may need to ask an adult for help with this. As you cut, make sure not to cut the piece of yarn that was used to tie the middle.
Decorate your new friend with googly eyes. Cut out felt shapes and glue them on to make feet or arms. You can even use a fork as a mini pom-pom maker to create smaller creatures!

How long does a landlord have to replace/repair a broken furnace?
Question Details:
Can I deduct rent to offset the cost of the extra space heater the ring up my electric bill?
There is no hard and fast answer--while a landlord must replace a defective furnace, the law does not specify a certain or specific time frame. Rather, the landlord has a "reasonable" period of time to make the repair, following having been provided with notice (it should be written notice, sent some way you can prove delivery) of the problem.
You cannnot withhold and deduct rent for the space heater, not without violating your lease and risking eviction However, you could sue to recover your additional costs. Normally, it would not make sense to sue for the difference in electric bills, but since you may sue the landlord anyway (see below), if you do, you would add that cost into the suit.
If the landlord does not fix the problem within a reasonable time, you could sue him or her, seeking a court order ("injunctive relief") forcing the landlord to repair the furnance. You can also, in that lawsuit, seek your additional costs (the higher electric bills) and/or other compensation (such as a retroactive rent abatement for the period of time you have lived without or with less heat). As a general rule, if you have to go to court anyway, you may as well sue for everything you potentially can.
You should consult with a landlord-tenant attorney about this situation. The lawyer can guide you in vindicating your rights.

Until now, visitors have to use the same entrance as inmates.
Prison guards will be able to monitor the gates from a new watch room, equipped with CCTV.
Governor Louise Taylor described it as a "vital" new facility.
It is the second welcome development at Stafford Prison in a week.
Anne Owers, the chief inspector of prisons, recently praised the jail for having "few instances of bullying or self harm", which she said was in stark contrast to conditions there three years ago.

Interest in online stock trading surged recently. It's inevitable. The Internet has enabled people to trade from the comforts of their homes and offices. Companies invest on a variety of tools that facilitate investment transactions real-time, while more and more investors are attracted to using the web as their main financial tool, from gathering trading information to making investment decisions. more ...
Unlike the early days of the stock market, today investing can be done live over the internet, with or without a stock broker. Previously, it took a phone call or even an in-person meeting with a stock broker to trade or invest.
Not only can you now trade stocks on your own, stock trading websites also give you access to information that was previously only available to stock brokers and large corporations--information like company analyses, market news, stock & fund screeners, graphs, alerts, mobile apps, and even educational articles and videos. From the comfort of your home you can monitor your investments and may never even need a stock broker.
Online stock trading is often quite a bit cheaper than using a traditional broker, especially because it's so easy to shop around online for the cheapest commission rate per trade.
The best trading companies offer features like:
Many companies offer real-time trading and the ability to monitor your investments. This puts you in control rather than relying on a broker who may or may not agree with your investment preferences. Many websites also offer free advice and tips before you get started to give you confidence in your stock decisions.
We've done plenty of research comparing prices and services to give you the best options for online stock brokers. All that's left for you is to decide what features are most important to you. Perhaps you don't care about educational tools or mobile apps, but want a broker you can reach at any time of the day. Perhaps you want access to international markets or retirement options. Choose an online stock trader that has a plan that fits your needs and experience; many sites offer multiple trading packages depending on your level of expertise.
Regardless of what method you use to invest, research and know-how are the only ways to obtain success in the world of stock trading. Although we've done much of the research work for you, once you've chosen a broker it's important to keep learning about wise investing. Many online stock trading websites offer knowledgeable stock brokers that can help or advise you for an extra fee. Some even offer educational videos or articles to help you learn more about investing. If you decide to go at it without a stock broker, be sure to research each decision and remember that choosing the right online trading company to fit your needs is a key element of wise investing.
The one downside of using online stock trading is the possibility of hackers and identity thieves. For this reason, when choosing an online stock trading company, be sure to choose a reputable website with excellent online security and make sure your own computer's security software is up to date. The risk of online stock trading is minimal in this regard, but it's always better to be safe.

Cape cod inspired wood locker cabinet in light honey and antique black finish; drawers feature woven rattan bottoms, allowing air to circulate, keeping thing fresh and pleasant...
At some point we realized our furniture collection was turning into a labor of love. Originally devised as a home for our Kunstkammer objects d'art, we somehow turned a corner in celebrating the nostalgia of a past sailing era, colonial trade, and now… beach life and style. We strive to make the practical exude romance and the historical to include a touch of contemporary. With their air of beach-view porches and sun-filled mooring docks our beach lockers and cabinets celebrate Nantucket as well as Deauville.
Making efficient use of every inch and centimeter, lockers hold towels and sailors scarves, polo gear and golfing shoes. Air circulates ingeniously, banning odors and keeping things dry with fragrant freshness. Fold-out shelves hold shaving gear or jewelry, prop up mirrors and in general offer much appreciated workspace. This locker is a veritable balancing act of the exotic and matter-of-fact....

Coordinated protests by fast food workers are expected to occur in 150 U.S. cities and more than 30 countries on Thursday, May 15, according to early news reports. Small scale demonstrations by employees of McDonald's--reported by Salon to be a target abroad--and other fast food chains have gained national attention since 2012. The planned global action would mark a significant escalation in U.S. fast food workers' efforts to secure a $15-an-hour wage and other reforms.
A major financial supporter of the global effort, reports the AP, is the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), one of the fastest growing labor unions in the country. With more than 2 million members, SEIU is also the union to which Constance Malcolm belongs. She is the mother of unarmed teen Ramarley Graham, shot and killed in February 2012 by the NYPD in their Bronx home. Malcolm's local, 1199SEIU, was a key organizer of the city's 2012 Father's Day march against stop-and-frisk, which Malcolm believes led to her son's shooting.
Later this afternoon at a New York McDonald's, the AP reports, is when labor organizers will officially announce the May 15 global protests.

from The Century Dictionary and Cyclopedia
- n. A covered gateway at the entrance to churchyards, erected to afford shelter for the coffin and mourners while they wait for the coming of the officiating clergyman. Also called lich-gate.
Sorry, no etymologies found.
At the entrance of the churchyard there is often a lich-gate, _i. e._ a corpse-gate, where the body may rest while the funeral procession is formed.
In the _Glossary of Architecture_ we read "_Lich-gate_, or corpse-gate, _leichengang_, Germ., from the Ang. - Sax. _lich_, a corpse, and _geat_, a gate; a shed over the entrance of a churchyard, beneath which the bearers sometimes paused when bringing a corpse for interment.

Spokane Valley Council: Lease cuts City Hall rent
Thu., March 14, 2013, midnight
Council appoints new planning commissioner
The Spokane Valley City Council breezed through their agenda Tuesday night, voting to appoint a new planning commissioner, extend their lease on City Hall and award the first street preservation contract of the season.
Mayor Tom Towey had the task of deciding between land surveyor Michael Phillips and real estate appraiser Sam Wood for the vacant planning commission seat. Both men serve on the Carnhope Water District board and are very qualified, Towey said. "You always try to get the best person for the job and try to get a person that will be compatible with the planning commission," he said.
Towey recommended Phillips for the position and his selection was confirmed by a vote of the council.
The council voted unanimously to approve a four-year extension of the City Hall lease. Finance director Mark Calhoun said he was able to negotiate an 18.4 percent reduction in the annual cost for the first year, which will save the city $73,596. The annual cost will go up 2 percent each year for the final three years of the lease. Overall the city will save $245,000 over the life of the contract, Calhoun said. The agreement also has a clause that allows the city to break the lease after three years if it gives six months notice.
The council thanked Calhoun for his efforts to save the city money. "Would you mind putting that into road preservation?" said Councilman Chuck Hafner.
In other business, the council awarded the first street preservation contract of the season to Inland Asphalt to redo Sullivan Road between the Spokane River and Trent Avenue. The company won't have to go far to do the work; Inland is located on Sullivan Road just north of the Spokane River.
The winning bid, which includes storm water improvements, is for $1.1 million. The city had estimated that it would cost $1.4 million, said senior capital projects engineer Steve Worley. "We feel like this is a great price for the work that we're doing," he said.
The preservation portion of the project will be a little different than usual. Typically the city grinds off the top 2 inches of asphalt and then replaces it with fresh asphalt. An analysis showed that the asphalt on Sullivan Road is too thin to support the heavy truck traffic that uses it and the city will be doing an overlay to add thickness in addition to grinding and replacing the usual 2 inches, Worley said. "Once we're done here, the road should last a good long time," he said.

The band uniform is a symbol of pride and respect for the band, the school, and the community. It is a visual representation of the organization, and therefore must be treated with care. The band uniforms are property of the Poland Band Parents and are lent to the students at the beginning of the marching season. Each student must return the uniform in its entirety at the conclusion of the season. Any significant damages or missing parts of the uniform will be the financial responsibility of the student. Replacement costs of the uniform are:
Coat $200
Trousers $100
Hat $50
Hat Box $10
Spats $10
Plume $15
Garment Bag $10
The students are required to purchase the following items which are their property to keep:
Tam $10 (percussion and sousaphone only)
Raingear $11
Band Shoes $20
Band Polo $12
Navy Blue Pants (see Summer Uniform section)
Flip Folder $12
The students must pay a uniform cleaning fee at the beginning of the season. This fee covers one cleaning at the conclusion of the season. Any additional cleanings required during the season are the responsibility of the student.
Uniform inspection will take place before every performance. If a minor problem is discovered (small stain or wrinkle, etc.), the student will be notified and will be required to correct the issue before the next performance. If a major problem is found (large stain or wrinkle, missing uniform part, etc.), the student will not be permitted to perform and participation points will be deducted from their grade. Please consult the Grading Procedure section of the handbook for more information.
A student may make alterations to the length of the uniform trousers, however they must see a director or Band Parents Uniform Helper BEFORE making the alteration, and must use a professional tailor or seamstress. DO NOT use staples to make alterations!
A Message from Laura Aaron,
Poland Band Parents Organization Uniform Chairperson:
·Students should be prepared for each performance. Spats, band shoes, hats/Tams, and rain gear (if needed). Tams will not be loaned out due to heath reasons. If you need any of these items replaced due to size or loss, please see a uniform parent on the night of a performance.
**Please make sure student's name is properly marked with a permanent marker on rain gear and Tams near the hem line.
·Students are responsible for cleaning their uniforms. Stains on pants or jackets (i.e. grass, dirt, hot chocolate, or any other food items) need to be reported to the uniform department immediately. The student will need to take uniform to be dry-cleaned before the next performance.
·Students are given instructions on proper way to hang their band uniform. These instructions must be followed. All uniforms will be inspected by a parent volunteer after each game. Remember ONLY the uniform should be placed in the main section of the garment bag. Items such as spats, rain gear, shoes, etc. should be placed in the back zipper section of the bag.
·In the case of rain and wet uniforms, the uniform must be returned to the auditorium. Pants must be draped over a seat – backside up; jackets will be draped over an adjoining seat; rain gear should not be folded or crumbled but must be draped over a seat. This will allow the uniforms to dry and then be hung at a later time.
·Band Hats should be stacked in the box with your name. Stack hat boxes neatly in corner of band room – do not throw them.
Band students are charged a usage fee prior to band season. The money is used for cleaning the uniforms at the end of the season, repairs and replacement uniforms.
If the uniforms are properly taken care they should last for many years. Please remember to take care of the band uniform for the next generation of band members.
**PLEASE NOTE: Non-band students and friends are not permitted in the band room before and after games.
Any questions regarding uniforms please see Mr. Olesko or contact Laura Aaron at email@example.com

The Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Central Intelligence Agency have inspectors general who function as independent monitors. So do the police departments of major cities like Los Angeles and Chicago, as well as the nationâs capital. Even most New York City agencies, like the Education Department and the Housing Authority, have similar monitors.
But not the New York Police Department.
About two dozen members of the City Council planned to introduce a bill on Wednesday that would create an office of the inspector general to monitor the police and âconduct independent reviews of the departmentâs policies, practices, programs and operations.â
The council members said that there has never been a more opportune time to increase oversight over so powerful an agency, especially in light of the departmentâs stop-and-frisk policy, surveillance of Muslim groups, questions over allegedly manipulated arrest data and other recent controversies involving the police.
âThis kind of independent oversight can act as an early-warning system for a very large agency,â said Richard M. Aborn, president of the Citizens Crime Commission, which has worked closely with council members on the legislation.
It is not yet clear how much clout the new inspector general would have. The bill provides that the inspector general, who would be appointed by the mayor, would have subpoena power, but that the officeâs budget and investigative staff would be determined by the City Council.
It is highly unlikely that Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg would support the bill. But with the sponsors confident that they can achieve a veto-proof majority of two-thirds of the Councilâs 51 members, they are applying political pressure on Christine M. Quinn, the Council speaker, who has been more muted in her criticisms of police practices than her likely rivals in next yearâs race for mayor.
A spokesman for Ms. Quinn, Jamie McShane, said she had not yet seen the bill but promised a âfull legislative review.â
The Police Department called the idea of an inspector general unnecessary. Paul J. Browne, the departmentâs chief spokesman, said the department was âprobably under more scrutiny than any other police agency, probably in the worldâ and was subject to oversight by two United States attorneys, five district attorneys, the Civilian Complaint Review Board and the Commission to Combat Police Corruption.
Mr. Browne also said that the department had made a âmajor commitmentâ to departmental oversight, with 1,000 people assigned to its Internal Affairs Bureau and other âintegrity controlâ units, roughly the same number as are assigned to its counterterrorism operation.
An inspector general âmay sound good to the sponsors on paper, but it appears to the department to be just redundant,â Mr. Browne said. No inspector general, he said, âis going to ever outperformâ the Internal Affairs Bureau.âThereâs nothing more effective than an internal affairs bureau with teeth.â
The bill being introduced on Wednesday is part of a package of legislation being pushed by a new coalition called Communities United for Police Reform that would, among other goals, address racial profiling and require that people who are stopped and frisked by the police be given an explanation for the stop, and possibly a âreceipt.â
But what would make the proposed inspector generalâs office different from the other oversight mechanisms mentioned by Mr. Browne is that its mission would be geared toward systemic issues and long-term reforms. Currently, said Udi Ofer, director of advocacy for the New York Civil Liberties Union, most of the scrutiny is reactive, focused on specific police episodes â" especially in accusations of misconduct and corruption â" and on a âfew bad apples,â rather than broader policies and programs.
The bill provides that the inspector general would serve a seven-year term, with the option of renewing once. It stipulates that the appointee cannot be a member of the Police Department or have served in the department in the past 10 years.
Councilman Brad Lander, a Brooklyn Democrat who is one of the billâs primary sponsors, said that ideally, an inspector general would be a former prosecutor or someone with experience working at a criminal justice agency like the Justice Department.
As for the proposed officeâs cost and staffing, supporters noted that the special commissioner of investigation monitoring the Education Department had a staff of 60 and an annual budget of $5.1 million. In Chicago, which has 12,500 police officers, roughly one-third of those in the New York Police Department, the Independent Police Review Authority has a $7.8 million budget and a staff of 87.
âPeople hire consultants to take a fresh look at things all the time,â said Councilman Jumaane D. Williams, a Brooklyn Democrat who is another sponsor. âIâm confounded that anybody who claims that theyâre into transparency would not be for this bill.â

Peter Corlett
|Birth date:
|Birth place:
|Australia: Victoria, Melbourne
Peter Corlett was born in Melbourne in 1944. He studied sculpture at RMIT from 1961to 1964. In 1975, he was awarded a special projects grant from the Visual Arts Board of the Australia Council. In 1977, he was artist in residence at the Darwin Community College, and between 1977 and 1980 was artist in residence at the Exeter University and Exeter College of Art. His works are represented in the collections at museums and art galleries of the Northern Territory, National Gallery of Victoria, Parliament House, Museum of Victoria and many colleges and universities.
Corlett was commissioned to produce several commemorative sculptures for the Memorial in recent years.
In 1987, Corlett was the winner of a competition to design a memorial to commemorate the courage and compassion of John Simpson Kirkpatrick, an enduring symbol of the sacrifices made by all Australian soldiers who served in the First World War.
His finely modelled, realistic portrayal of Simpson relieving the suffering of soldiers on Gallipoli celebrates the humanity of ordinary people, emphasising the drama of Simpson's simple act of compassion. The wounded man, mounted on the donkey, powerfully portrays mixed feelings of anxiety, tension and obvious dependence. His pain is well expressed through the tension in his arms and legs. Simpson walking beside the donkey conveys calm, resolve and compassion.
Corlett also won the design competition to produce the commemorative sculpture of Sir Edward "Weary" Dunlop, which was unveiled in 1995. It symbolises the sacrifice of all Australian doctors and medical staff who served Australian prisoners of war in the Asia Pacific between 1939-1945. Other works in the Memorial's collection include The man in the mud (in the Western Front Gallery), They also served, (Two WRANS 1941-1985), on display in the Second World War Gallery, and the maquette for Simpson and his donkey, 1915.
