Taking Puppy To Work Day
4 Attachment(s)
It is take puppy to work day again today. Not getting much work done, but I enjoy hanging out with my buddy. :)
I need one of these days. My dogs would love it.
Beautiful pictures!
How Cool is that? I wish I could take Jake to work!
Yea, it is cool and I like having him around, but he makes it hard to accomplish much.
I take Stosh to the office often. He's been going with me since he was a pup so everyone is happy to see him.
He looks as though he in settled pretty well, nice to have the opportunity to take him with you. I brought Tuke in once to drive a deice truck. We were on our way elsewhere when called, I told dispatch I had her, but they didn't care, so along she came. As much as she enjoys her car rides, she would puke (not anymore) if the ride went on too long and sure enough she got sick, lol.
That's a fun experience for both........
Before I retired last year I took Maggie most everyday to my office and she loved the busy goings and comings of people at our airport offices.
I actually believe I worked harder and enjoyed it much more with her beside me.
I think I will be able to work more with him in the office once he is more accustomed to it... it was only his second time here, so it was all too new.
Beau comes to work a lot! (I telecommute).

"Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers."
---Article 19, Universal Declaration of Human Rights
For some delegates, just getting to the West African Journalists Association (WAJA) regional conference in Dakar, Senegal, was an impressive achievement. While his colleagues used more conventional modes of transportation, Sierra Leone Association of Journalists (SLAJ) president Frank Kposowa navigated his way out of the country by night in a hired motorized dugout canoe. The state of anarchy in Sierra Leone since the May 25, 1997, coup d'?état had rendered travel virtually impossible, and Kposowa's risky passage was just another example of the challenges facing courageous journalists who chose to remain in the country and risked losing their lives by practicing their profession.
Do you believe the free flow of information must be protected? Sign the #RightToReport petition and demand that President Obama immediately:
1. Issue a presidential policy directive prohibiting the hacking and surveillance of journalists and media organizations.
2. Limit aggressive prosecutions that ensnare journalists and intimidate whistleblowers.
3. Prevent the harassment of journalists at the U.S. border.
Or click here to see the full petition, and join leading journalists like Christiane Amanpour, The Guardian's Alan Rusbridger, Editor of the AP Kathleen Carroll, and Arianna Huffington in signing on.

Qaddafi in Tripoli, Vows to Fight to the End: Chess Chief
Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi is in Tripoli and vowed to fight to the end, Kirsan Ilyumzhinov, head of the World Chess Federation and a former Russian regional leader said in a telephone interview in Moscow today.
Ilyumzhinov, who played chess with Qaddafi during a June visit to the Libyan capital, said he spoke with Qaddafi and his son Mohammed by phone today at about 6 p.m. Moscow time.
"I have no plans to leave my country and I'll fight to the end," Ilyumzhinov quoted Qaddafi as saying in a 90-second conversation. Qaddafi's son, Mohammed, called Ilyumzhinov from a satellite phone and then handed the receiver to his father.

I was just flipping through recipes to take something sweet to a mutual friend of ours who is caring for aging parents. This will be my choice as my neighbour just brought be a bag of fresh plums yesterday. Looks good. KathyReplyDelete
I am definitely trying this for the weekend! Looks great and I bet it tastes great too!ReplyDelete
I love Italian prunes...and this cake looks scrumptious. I'm off to pick some plums in my daughter's backyard.ReplyDelete
I just love prune plums for baking. Their flavour is unmatched.ReplyDelete
I just bought some plums at a fruit stand too and well .. .I think I'll pop this in the oven. .
Plum season is here! Another plum recipe for me to try..looks great!ReplyDelete
anything plum,yum. i will have to try this out for friday...thanks for another good one.ReplyDelete

I love anything with plums, Thanks,great recipe and photo.ReplyDelete
The first recipe this year I never got to taste, but when I made it again, I realized that the drizzle makes it quite sweet. If you're sensitive to that, go easy on it and maybe cut down the sugar in the cake to 1/2 cup. Just an afterthought.ReplyDelete
Looks so good! Tastes even better!ReplyDelete

Do yourself a favor: Before you settle in at the Londoner, take a mini-tour of the premises, and appreciate why the restaurant should be re-christened the local British Museum of authentic English pub interior decorating.
Its walls are painted double-decker bus red. The Union Jack emblazons a rug. Everywhere you look there is a Notting Hill's garage sale worth of photos of Queen Elizabeth, a pre-Diana, pre-gray-haired Prince Charles, Elton John and Freddie Mercury. Jack the Ripper also has a special place in the heart of the Londoner's British-raised owner, Barry Tate. Tate opened the first Londoner in Addison in the mid-1990s, with Colleyville the fifth location in his empire.
The Londoner uses its pub-style authenticity — with its pewter-shadow lighting and long list of available beers — as a springboard to sample such British kitchen classics as bubble and squeak, fish and chips, or shepherd's pie.
Of course, the Londoner has plenty of American bar staples such as a burger and wings and a 10-ounce grilled rib-eye, but where's the adventure of voyaging to a British-style pub and not sampling all the transplanted Anglo classics?
Take a starter of two perfectly fried potato cakes, the centerpieces of the daffily named, bubble and squeak ($8). It was an all-around pleasing starter, yet its advertised filling of cabbage, yellow cheddar and onion eluded my palate. The salmon on toast ($10) came nicely smoked, and it conjured up a lox-and-bagels pairing with capers, red onions and tartar sauce. However, its thick size made it somewhat unwieldy to combine with the toast.
As for the chips and curry ($6), better known as french fries dusted with curry powder, the skin-on fries were beyond reproach, yet their spicing and the separate curry sauce were too timid.
The Guinness cheesesteak Mini-Me sliders ($11) were a highly successful marriage of the American sports bar's eternal infatuation with the slider, with a British stout kick to the rib-eye.
No British pub experience is complete without a heaping plate of fish and chips ($13). The two-small-brick-sized pieces of Atlantic cod dominated the plate. While the fish was pleasantly flaky and moist, the exterior should have been crunchier. The tartar sauce elevated the entire dish with a welcome tang.
In a nod to the huge number of Indian restaurants all over London, the Londoner's menu offers a perfectly respectable rendition of chicken tikka masala ($13). The chicken was nicely marinated in Greek yogurt and curry but the Indian spices were too mild.
There may be no greater antidote to the encroaching autumnal chill than the Londoner's shepherd's pie ($12). Served in a rustic pottery-dish, this pie was a soul-warming mix of ground beef, carrots, peas and yellow onions, all coddled in a rich gravy, and under a sublime twin roof of Swiss cheese and silken mashed potatoes. I'd become a shepherd tomorrow if I could eat this dish daily.
Don't skip the shepherd's pie, but make sure you save room for dessert. The "pudding" in the sticky toffee pudding ($7) is a British-style, pillowy cake. This confection is coated with an irresistibly sweet gloss of caramel and custard. More over-the-top sweetness is available in the politically-incorrect-named car bomb brownie ($7). This thick, decadent chocolate brownie wedge boasts an infusion of not one but three Irish alcohols: Guinness, Jameson Irish Whiskey and Baileys Irish Cream.
After my thoroughly authentic Londoner meal, eaten between quick swivels to glance at mesmerizing shots of the Sex Pistols and Jack the Ripper — as The Essential Clash was about to drop on the jukebox — I was almost tempted to belt out God Save the Queen and pay my check in pounds. The only thing my brief Londoner adventure didn't require was my passport.

Internet Marketing Secrets Exposed! HTML version
I know what you're thinking. The last thing you need, or want, is some clown giving you
a pep-talk about what motivates you. But, over the years I've heard countless people say
they want to make a lot of money. They want to be rich beyond comprehension; they
want nice cars, big boats, mansions on a hill… all that the good life has to offer.
Whenever I hear that, I have but one question I ask them;
I can't properly put into words the dumbfounded look I receive the majority of the time I
ask this. Often a person will become a little defensive and begin to state the obvious; only
to stop themselves as the question sinks in deeper.
You see, before I asked them that question, they thought they knew… but suddenly they
realize they have not yet landed that understanding.
Many think having all those things, is the very reason to want to "have" all those things.
Not true. They are just "things". Possessions that are often not enough of a reason for
someone to obtain them.
Don't get me wrong, they are nice to have, but they are "byproducts" of your
persistence…mere manifestations of your driving force.
You need to know "why" before you know "how", because the "why" will carry you
through all the obstacles that ARE going to get in your way (notice I did not say; "might
get in your way").
Yes, that's right; things are going to get in the way of your success. Following your
ambitions is a bumpy road. It is not the beaten path (that would be a J.O.B). It is a
constant climb, struggle, and march toward that ultimate reason; your "why".
Your "why" is your anchor…one that grounds you as you FIGHT for your dreams and
There are many "how's" to make those things a reality, and make no mistake; it is
possible for you to become very successful in Internet Marketing, so you've already
found your "how". This can be your vehicle to make those dreams come true. All you
need to do now is fine-tune your "why".
Now, I know this statement sounds rather simplistic. The challenge is for these words to
travel the inches between your brain and your heart. This has long proven to be the most
difficult distance we must conquer. You may capture this truth with your mind, but it
needs to get into your heart. It needs to get into your belly!

Discussion in 'Football, Baseball, and Hockey' started by Darth Tater, Aug 19, 2010.
C'mon Darth...Nemo is 55 years old. Guess where I'm hiding my flask...
Wow, you're good.
Actually, I was pointing out that U of M fans aren't too bright. It will be too hot to wear gloves. :P
I'll say MSU 38 Michigan 28.
This one is so hard to call. Cousins throws a pick for the loss in the last 2 minutes or U of M scores on the last play and wins a close one. Maybe just because that is my worst nightmare scenarios for the game. Who needs it more? I think Sparty, because of all those demons over the years that need to be exorcised, but I am biased.
Hopefully Michigan's defenders just go into the fetal position so that they can avoid injury.
My favorite victory of this series was the come from behind, triple overtime thriller in 2004. Game lasted 4 hours and was played into the night. here are some highlights with a decidedly UM slant. Go Blue. I was there for all the excitement. What a thriller. Note the 5 NFL stars on that UM offense. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ja1QAi3ZL8s
------------------ so i'm the cool looking guy in the middle.
Looks like you ate too much broccoli...
Girls of the Big Ten
I've seen that picture before. I wonder what the real Michigan girl looked like before they put the XL in front of her. My choice would be Penn state.
@ detteam I'm all over Iowa or Minnesota. Penn State would be my last choice...except U of M.
Interesting choices...The 4 to the left of the superimposed girl look small enough to be her lunch. My second choice would be Indiana.
We've got way different tastes. But that's why you're a U of M fan, I guess. No accounting for tastes. Different strokes and all that... Anyhow, I'm not even sure any of them are legal. But I am sure neither of us got a snowball's chance, anyhow... Maybe 25 years ago...maybe...
Even Michigans strike in a hurry up offense cannot over come this 31-10 deficit with 20 minutes to go in the game. The Michigan Defense is living up to its pregame hype...last in the nation.... The O which was second has finally met its match...
This doesn't surprise me as I predicted a stellar season for MSU. I'm just wondering at this point if they'll let UM back into the game. It's really up to STATE now to seal the deal. I believe they will...
They're heading for the exits at the Big House....well, at least those dressed in maize and blue are leaving.
yep...and I am about to take off my Maize and Blue jersey before I head out to the store (out in public)...I have Spartan Jersey too, but will save that one for their Rose Bowl appearance
MSU played well and I'm just really really happy. Was nervous the entire game and lost sleep last night over this. Not going to razz you fellas. I've been on the short end too many times. Peace.
Robinson got caught up in the passing game in the red zone where I would have still tried to keep it on the ground despite the Spartan run defense. of course blame some of that on his receivers who must have decided to take the day off. one other difference between the first five games and this one was the average gain per play which was well below their average of 20+ yards. Most of Robinsons runs were less than 6 yards as they were set up with a ton of 3rd situations that didn't occur in prior games. And yes his Heisman status took a hit and it doesn't get any easier next week vs Iowa for Robinson or Michigan. Oh by the way, are there any unemployed defensive coordinators available that can help out RR and company??
Separate names with a comma.

Hi-energy jazz/rock/funk that pushes the envelope right off the table. Postmodern Blues is the musical collaboration of keyboardist Brad Booth and guitarist Scott Hedges, based in the Washington DC metro area. Our music represents a mix of old school jazz ideas, and modern jazz / R&B / Rock sounds. Our sound is a high-energy mix of these genres in the spirit of fusion bands of the 1970s and 1980s, like Weather Report, Chick Corea''s Elektric Band and Tribal Tech. We have been writing, arranging, and performing together for many years, and have just released our 2nd album, The Many Designs. A highly diverse cast of accomplished jazz players from the Washington, D.C. metropolitan region are featured on the album. This ensures a fresh approach to each piece, keeping the energy levels high and the grooves ever-changing. For The Many Designs, outstanding Senegalese bassist and rising star Cheikh Ndoye contributed his fantastic playing as well as two of his own compositions.

This is a wonderful campground about 8 miles outside Gatlinburg. Campsites are wooded and fairly wide. We checked out several campgrounds during our visit and found that Smoky Bear had some of the most spacious campsites. Most are gravel, but there are several paved pull through sites available for big rigs. Each campsite had a fire ring and picnic table. We never saw a piece of trash. Not even a scrap of paper laying anywhere in the campground. It is immaculate. This campground is nicely landscaped and spotless. During our visit, we saw the owner setting out new plants. The owners are some of the nicest people we have ever met. A owner came down to our campsite after we checked in and asked if we needed help in setting up. He went out of his way to get information for us about local attractions. The swimming pool and hot tub were closed for the season, but appeared to be very well maintained. The bathrooms/showers are some of the cleanest/nicest we have ever seen. They were actually decorated!! Paint, wallpaper, curtains, pictures and flowers were in each bathroom. They were spotless. I'm sure the owners went in and cleaned the restrooms several times a day. I never saw a single water spot on the faucets!! Nice campstore had basic items and firewood. There is a nice playground available for children. There is also an area around a fire pit for groups of campers. There are two rental cabins in the campground. There are only two negatives I should mention. The cable TV only has 5 channels. The campground is right on highway 321, so there is a little traffic noise. That's why I will give Smoky Bear a "9" rating instead of a "10." However, every other campground in Gatlinburg is located on a highway too. These two minor items certainly would not keep us from going back. Smoky Bear is an awesome campground, and we will always camp here when we are in Gatlinburg.

What a disappointment. With all of the high praise, we were really expecting a top notch campground. Instead, we found a parking lot that sits on a hill above Branson. There was very little shade from the summer sun. Campsites were tight and mostly gravel. Most people staying at ABC are seniors with high end motor homes. It was too hot for a campfire in July, but ABC doesn't allow them anyway. Yes, the staff was nice and the place was very clean. But, we won't go back. How does this place get a "best campground" award when it's not really a campground?
Date of Stay: June, 2006
This is absolutely the nicest campground we have been to. The campsites were beautifully manicured. We had a campsite in the 100s section and it was very nice. The place is spotless. We saw some of the campground employees vacuuming the roads!! There is a tram that runs hourly to and from the beach. The bathrooms/showers are modern and spotless. We love Topsail and plan to visit there again!!
Date of Stay: April, 2006
Beautiful state park. Wide campsites with fire rings and picnic tables. This is one of the few state parks with a full hook-up section. Restrooms and showers are very modern and clean. We will stay here again.
Date of Stay: September, 2005
The facilities are spotless and the employees are very nice. However, I can only give ABC a "4" rating. Why? Because ABC is not really a campground. It is a large parking lot for expensive motor homes. (An RV park) Most of the sites are very close and tight. There is no shade whatsoever. No trees and very little grass. And this so called "campground" does not allow campfires. This is a great place if you have a large motor home and you plan to stay inside your motor home during your time there. To call ABC a campground isn't fair to all of the other real campgrounds in Branson. Those of you looking to have a real camping experience should look somewhere else.
Date of Stay: September, 2005
This is a very nice campground situated in a wooded area on the outskirts of Branson. Compton Ridge is close to all of the Branson attractions, but off the main highway. We found the campground owners to be helpful and friendly. Our campsite was near the center of the main campground across from the outdoor swimming pool. The restroom/showers were very clean and modern. A laundry room was just a few short steps from our campsite. The campground has two swimming pools, one indoor and one outdoor. There is a playground, basketball and tennis courts located near the center of the campground. We enjoyed our trip here and plan to visit again in 2006.
Date of Stay: July, 2005
This is a wonderful campground on the Missouri side of Bull Shoals Lake. The campground sits on a hillside on the edge of the water. The campsites are large. many have concrete pads. Our campsite was a large site with a picnic table and shelter. Next to the picnic table was a fire ring and built in seating along a rail fence that separated our campsite from the others. When we stepped out of our trailer in the morning, we had this beautiful view of the lake. The bathrooms were very clean. The campsite sits above a marina; boating and fishing are the big attractions in this area. Above the campground is a family style restaurant that offers great meals anytime of the day; their breakfasts can't be beat. The campground is gated, and there is a campground "host" who lives on site during the camping season. The only reason I didn't give this campground a "10" is because only 5 of the 33 campsites are reservable. All of the others are on a "first come, first serve" basis. Be wary of renting campsites B01 and B02. They are listed on the ReserveUsa website as single sites, but they are literally side by side. I would definitely call them shared sites. Sites B12-B15 are the remaining three reservable sites, and they, along with all the other sites in the campground are very nice.
Date of Stay: June, 2005
This was a one night stop for us. We were very impressed with this campground. Lots of grassy areas, however, each campsite was covered with large gravel. The gravel would be a plus during rainy weather. Staff was friendly. We had called ahead to reserve a spot knowing that we would be arriving after hours. However, when we got there, the manager was still in the office waiting for us. Our campsite had a picnic table and fire ring. There is just a little highway noise, but not enough to be a distraction. This campground had absolutely the cleanest restrooms and showers we have ever seen. If we decide to make a trip to the Nashville area for a few days, we will definitely stay here again.
Date of Stay: June, 2005
This is an awesome campground. We found the restrooms to be fairly new and spotless. The swimming pool complex is very nice with a large pool, kiddie pool, and lazy river. There were poolside activities daily for children. Live musical entertainment was provided poolside a couple of days during our visit. The campground has a very nice camp store, laundromat, snack bar, and playground. An outdoor pavilion provided evening entertainment and church services. Check-in was a breeze. All the employees are so very nice and helpful. This campground does not rent golf carts to guests, and we found that to be a big plus. We got tired of dodging the golf carts in the other Myrtle Beach campgrounds. We had a shaded lakeside campsite which was very nice. We have now stayed at all the Myrtle Beach campgrounds, and this one is now our favorite.
Date of Stay: May, 2005
We really enjoyed this campground. Our campsite was right on Lake Barkley. The campground has many shaded sites. There is a boat ramp located in the campground for those who want to bring a boat. The restrooms had white ceramic tile on the floors, but the restrooms were very clean. Each campsite has a picnic table and fire ring. Some campsites have tent pads. We will definitely stay here again.
Date of Stay: May, 2005
This is a wonderful state park on the headwaters of the Current River that offers trout fishing as its main attraction. The campsites are wide and many are shaded. All sites have a picnic table and fire ring. The restroom facilities were clean and offered shower stalls with plenty of hooks and a shelf for clothing and personal supplies. There are several "loops" in the campground...one is for tents only. Camping cabins are available for rent, too. There is a lodge with a "snack bar" where you can get breakfast if you want. There are hiking trails throughout the park. We really enjoyed camping here, and will make this state park a yearly stop. You will need reservations, however, because it fills up early.
Date of Stay: July, 2003
We camped here once, that was enough. We had a small campsite near the middle of the campground. Our campsite was so small that one end of our pop-up almost touched the brick wall dividing the campground from the resort next door. The other end of our camper was just a few feet from the road going through the campground. We had requested a campsite right across from the restroom. However, the restroom was frequently dirty with stopped-up toilets. We often had to walk down to the restroom closer to the beach. But frequently those toilets were stopped up, too. We were not impressed with this place at all, and we will not go back.
Date of Stay: June, 2002
Beautiful state park with campground. All campsites are wide with concrete pads and picnic tables. Fire rings are located on most sites. The park has trails for walking and horseback riding. There is a swimming pool located in the park just a short drive from the campground. The park has a nature center as well. If you are planning on visiting the St. Louis/St. Charles area, this would be a great place to stay. It's a thirty minute drive west of St. Louis.

As a design principal, Ramón Hone approaches design as a wide-ranging exploration of ideas, where virtually anything is possible in the search for creative ways to respond to client needs, site context and budget restraints. Ramón leads his design teams throughout the design process, encouraging collaboration on necessary changes while maintaining the integrity of the original vision.
Born and raised in London, Ramón received a postgraduate diploma in architecture from the University of Greenwich in London and a postgraduate diploma in computing in art and design from Middlesex University in London. Before joining 5+ design in 2012, Ramón worked as design director at Manser Associates in England and at Gensler, The Jerde Partnership and WET Design. He is an architect licensed in Great Britain and a member of the Royal Institute of British Architects. He is also LEED accredited by the U.S. Green Building Council. Modelo spent some time learning about what led Ramón to pursue a career in architecture and about where he is today.
On becoming an architect
I drew a lot as a child and my parents suggested that it might be something to think about. At the time I was thinking about art school but my parents convinced me that I was more likely to make a living as an architect than an artist, I haven't regretted the decision.
On discovering his voice as a designer
I don't know that I have found my 'voice' or even if I have a 'voice' as such. I believe that there is a rigor, logic and creative approach to solving problems and that architecture falls into a place where the art and science of design come together in sometimes unexpected ways to suggest solutions. Being open to those opportunities rather than pursuing a path or direction that is somehow my 'voice' is a more exciting and educational process. If anything my 'voice' is one of curiosity and discovery.
On joining 5+Design
I knew the partners from my time working at Jerde where they each worked before setting up 5+design so we were familiar to each other. I was traveling in Korea with my previous firm and I ran into Tim Magill (one of the founding partners), we were staying at the same hotel, we got talking, then met up again back in the US and subsequently I left my last firm and started at 5+design.
As someone who is more senior at the firm I do bring my own approach to design but given an overlapping history this meshed well with the firm's own approach.
On specific principles he strives to adhere to
Early in my career I worked at The Manser Practice in London, here under the guidance of Michael and Jonathan Manser I was taught the importance of honesty, sincerity and rigor in design, lessons that have stuck with me throughout my career. When I moved to the US I spent time at the Jerde Partnership working on large scale projects each strove to develop the idea of public experience, the space around the building being as important as the building itself.
Architecture as a profession is a process of continual education – developing your approach through experience; learning from colleagues both young and old and utilizing new and developing technologies. But the early lessons stay with you, they change and evolve but they still remain a guide through the chaos.
On his role at 5+Design
As a design principal my role is to lead design teams on a number of projects, it's also to advise and mentor younger people in those teams. As a young professional I was fortunate to have worked with and learned from many good architects and so there is a responsibility to do the same for those coming up.
On recent projects that represent the firm's unique approach
Many of our projects are complex urban mixed use projects and we provide a unique and experiential solution to those problems. There is no specific style but there is an approach that strives to provide the users be they occupants or the public with an out of the ordinary experience.
Retail projects which form the core of our business are complex projects it is a rapidly changing typology that is experienced and used very differently by different generations and income brackets. As retail has evolved it has become more of an experience the public areas are much more than circulation spaces. The space in-between has become the architecture of experience. This becomes more valuable as cities become denser and public space is eroded.
On his design toolkit
3D modeling is essential these days, not just as a design tool but also as a way of producing documentation and communication with clients. In our office we develop most projects in Revit for documentation but we supplement the design process with Sketchup, Rhino, physical models and sketching amongst others. As an international firm we also rely on web meetings that allow us to workshop with clients and design teams in other countries, showing drawings and models.
The role of the architect at its most basic is the same now as it was 100 years ago, that is communication of an idea. The tools have advanced, we have become more sophisticated in our methods of representation but in the end there is still something visceral about talking and sketching with a client so you both see an idea evolve in words and lines.
On the state of design software today
I feel that the impact is twofold, some design software is evolving at a rapid rate and the lines between design and manufacturing software are becoming more blurred as digital files can be used to output physical objects. This no doubt will lead to expanding opportunities for some architects and designers. Software allows us to design and fabricate ever more complex forms combined with systems of optimization that allow these forms to be more economically realized. This is available only to a very small proportion of clients and projects. But at the other end affordable and easy to use 3D software has changed the way that all architects are able develop designs and to communicate with clients. In the end though I do feel that a sketch is still a core component of the design and communication of an idea.
On the future of the industry in the next 5-10 years
Software advances will continue to aid in the evaluation of designs from a sustainable perspective; expectations of BIM files will increase so that they are updated over the life of a building; VR will develop as a tool for experiencing design before it's built, but without a total sensory experience it will remain a sophisticated rendering representation.
But it's the physical manifestation of the design that matters to most and so advances in material technology, and manufacturing and delivery systems will have the most impact on our environments but this is a longer timeframe.
On the future of 5+Design in the next 5-10 years
Our commitment to BIM will continue to expand and we will continue to leverage the possibilities to improve the design process, communication and documentation. But BIM does not improve the design concept it refines the ideas and develops them, the ideas still come from somewhere else and that is the essence of architecture that we wish to nurture.
On advice he would give his younger self
Don't rush, experiment more.

Katy Perry Gossip
Katy Perry gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Katy & John: over again?
Fame, Charley Gallay/ Getty
John Mayer was not with Katy Perry last week for the BRIT Awards and Milan Fashion Week. She was booed there because she was apparently late arriving to one of the shows, although some say she was told to be there at the time she was there and shouldn't be blamed for the miscommunication. Then she went to a Miley Cyrus show and they kissed. Full Story
Not the place for bad hair
It was ELLE Style Awards in London last night. Katy Perry wore Vivienne Westwood. It's a good dress. But that hair. I can't with this f-cking hair. There are some people who could make this work. Lizzy Caplan? Sure. Lena Dunham? OK, I think I could work with that. Sienna Miller I could see. Full Story
Katy Perry & John Mayer engaged?
AKM-GSI / Splash News, FameFlynet
Katy Perry stepped out with John Mayer on Valentine's Day wearing a ring on that finger and the internet said they're engaged. E! News and US Weekly then immediately reported that they're not engaged…but that it could be happening soon. Full Story
Katy Perry's Beatles cape

You know what? I like this outfit way more than her Grammys dress – the one that looked like it was fashioned from an Ikea duvet cover, click here for a refresher. This is Katy Perry at the Grammys Beatles tribute last night. It looks like she performed. Full Story
Katy Perry and the brooms
Wenn, Kevork Djansezian/ Larry Busacca/ Getty
Like I said on Twitter, I would be impressed if she'd started playing Quidditch. But there was no Quidditch. There was only more camouflage. For what? Haven't you noticed by now the lengths they will go to to distract you from the fact that Katy Perry can't dance? If it's not a boxing ring, it's geishas. Full Story
Katy Perry on love
People keep sh-tting on Miley. On Gaga. And Katy Perry, she just skates right through it. Why? Is it because she sings about roaring female empowerment? Is it female empowerment if it's hollow? "I am not a feminist, but I do believe in the strength of women." – Katy Perry Katy Perry covers the new GQ. Full Story
Katy & John onstage together
Zachary Mazur /WireImage
John Mayer performed last night in Brooklyn. And since he and Katy Perry duet together on Who You Love, he brought her out on stage to sing with him. Do you like this song? Because I don't like this song. I don't like any of his songs. I like more of her songs than his songs. Yeah I said it. Full Story
Katy Perry & John Mayer: Who You Love on video
Steffman-Turgeon / Splash News
They love each other. At least that's the narrative right now because they're promoting their new song Who You Love. And the video too. Katy Perry and John Mayer were on Good Morning America today, together, for its release. By fame standards then, at this point they're practically married. Full Story
Katy Perry doesn't get the votes
Oraito/ Asadorian-Mejia/ Splash
Katy Perry performed on The X Factor in the UK this weekend. I read about it before I heard it. And they were saying her vocals were so sh-t she woulda been voted off the show. Ok so then I listened. Yes, totally sh-t. But... How is this new? When I think of Katy Perry live it's not like I'm pulling out my credit card. Full Story
John & Katy like James and Carly?
John Mayer is releasing a new single called Who You Love, a duet with girlfriend Katy Perry. They posed together for their first official portraits as cover art for the track. More photos were then posted exclusively at Vanity Fair. Shot by Mario Sorrenti (you probably know him best for his work with Kate Moss), there's a late 60s/early 70s vibe to the images, like here: Full Story
Katy Perry and the people who eat with sticks
Jason Merritt/ AFP/ Getty
I'm not writing an entire essay on why Katy Perry's performance at the AMAs sucked. There are academics who will and have already. My job as a gossip blogger is to point out that she is a f-cking idiot, following Dean's example – click here Full Story

Welcome to my website!
I'm an Assistant Professor in the Columbia University Department of Political Science. My research lies at the intersection of political economy and comparative politics, and spans elections in developing and developed contexts. In particular, I study how the timing of news consumption, the types of information consumed, and levels of education affect how voters hold politicians to account for their performance in office. As well as bottom-up voter behavior, I also examine how politicians communicate their platforms and how information shapes their electoral strategies, as well as when media outlets choose to report political news. To analyze these questions, I combine large and often novel data sources with quasi-experimental and experimental designs, and use theoretical models to differentiate mechanisms and interpret causal estimates. My research has been published, or is forthcoming, in the American Political Science Review, British Journal of Political Science, Journal of Politics, Political Analysis and Review of Economics and Statistics.
I am working on a variety of exciting projects, including with many excellent coauthors. My publications and working papers are available here. Feel free to contact me about ongoing research projects.

Multiple-choice tests are:
a) Useless
b) Harmful
c) Biased
d) All of the above
e) None of the above
"Multiple-choice items are best used for checking whether students have learned facts and routine procedures that have one, clearly correct answer."
"[A]n item may have two reasonable answer options. Therefore, test directions usually ask test takers to select the 'best' answer. If, on a reading test, a student selected a somewhat plausible answer, does it mean that she cannot read, or that she does not see things exactly the way the testmaker does?"
"Multiple-choice items can be easier than open-ended questions asking the same thing. This is because it is harder to recall an answer than to recognize it."
"It also is possible to choose the 'right' answer for the wrong reason or to simply make a lucky guess."
"Most researchers agree that multiple-choice items are poor tools for measuring the ability to synthesize and evaluate information or apply knowledge to complex problems.... or solve problems ..."
"[I]t is often hard to know why a student got a question wrong or right.... unless a teacher has that information, the test result is not useful for improving instruction for the individual."

Book Review: Macey's Corporate Governance
Jonathan R. Macey, Corporate Governance: Promises Kept, Promises Broken (Princeton University Press) (2008).
I make the following three promises. First, I promise to describe and defend the controlling premise upon which Macey bases his analysis of corporate governance. Second, I promise to summarize and synthesize Macey's conclusions. Third, I promise to provide commentary and criticism on the book and its ideas. These are my three promises, and I intend to keep them. If I keep those promises, you and I should both consider this review successful. If that seems like an intuitively fair way to evaluate this review, then you'll agree with Macey's mechanism for evaluating corporate governance and accept the unifying theme of this book.
"Corporate Governance is about promises. I believe that it is more accurate to characterize corporate governance as being about promises than it is to characterize corporate governance as being about contracts."
Macey's controlling idea is that corporate governance is about promises. He evaluates the institutions and mechanisms of corporate governance according to the degree to which they facilitate the making and keeping of promises by corporations to investors. He chooses the "Promise Premise" instead of the more traditional nexus-of-contracts premise because "the idea of promise captures the primordial fact that trust rather than reliance on the prospect of enforcement is the focal point of a successful system of corporate governance." As Macey's analysis reveals, investors rely largely on trust and reputational capital when they participate in the capital markets, and even those mechanisms that are designed to offer some degree of enforcement power fall short.
Macey's "Promise Premise" works as the governing theme because it is intuitively appealing and allows for private ordering. Intuitively, it seems fair that there is no one-size-fits-all set of metrics with which to evaluate corporate performance. On a basic level, consider two companies, "Income" and "Growth." Income consistently pays dividends, operates in a stable industry with a sustainable capital structure, and attracts risk-averse investors. Growth, meanwhile, retains its earnings, operates in emerging markets and developing industries and with high leverage, and attracts risk-hungry investors. If in twenty years, Income has continued paying its quarterly dividend and retained its stable position in its stable industry, and Growth has survived some investments that didn't pay off and hit it big in emerging markets, sending its volatile share price temporarily skyrocketing, which company has been more successful? Both companies have been successful by doing what they set out to do. But which company has been more effectively governed? We won't know if we look to board and management turnover, leverage, and share price whose management has performed better over the time period. But applying Macey's Promise Premise, we can evaluate the governance approaches of any company by measuring the degree to which they facilitate the keeping of the promises the company has made to its investors. This approach therefore allows for useful governance comparisons between two companies that may have completely different agendas.
For most of a century, the Delaware court system has helped to facilitate the making and keeping of promises from companies to investors. A voluminous body of case law communicates to potential investors and to newly formed businesses that certain default promises are embodied in the charter and sale of stock in a Delaware corporation. These promises include fiduciary review, the business judgment rule, the appraisal remedy, the equitable jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery, expedited litigation, and all the other familiar features of Delaware corporate law. Delaware corporations capitalize on economies of scale. Rather than making a lengthy set of explicit promises to their potential investors, they send a powerful signal to the capital markets when they charter in Delaware. Delaware judges help retain the state's title as the jurisdiction of choice for investors and business entities because the Delaware courts effectively communicate these default Delaware promises to capital market participants.
"One of the principal contributions of this book is to point out that many of the most effective corporate governance devices, such as certain kinds of trading and activities in the takeover market, are either heavily regulated or banned outright. On the other hand, the mechanisms and institutions that I regard as the least effective, corporate boards of directors and credit rating agencies, are facilitated, encouraged, and even directly or indirectly required by regulation."
Macey evaluates all the major institutions and mechanisms of corporate governance according to his Promise Premise described above. He comes down in favor of market-based institutions such as the markets for corporate control and initial public offerings. As compared with markets, Macey is far less confident in people, whether they be managers, directors, regulators, judges, or legislatures. On an individual level, Macey places little faith in a person's ability to overcome decision-making biases. On a group level, as with legislatures and boards of directors, effective governance is lacking because of capture.
Macey universally praises market mechanisms and institutions; chief among these is the "market for corporate control" or takeover market. Macey describes the takeover market as the "most important market-inspired component of the U.S. corporate governance infrastructure." An unimpeded and robust takeover market disciplines managers because the most effective defense against an unwanted takeover is a consistently high share price. The takeover market therefore provides immediate and powerful incentives for corporate directors and managers to deliver on their primary promise to their investors—that they will maximize shareholder value. The market for corporate control thus earns high marks according to Macey's Promise Premise.
Macey details, however, how the takeover market has been hindered by the actions of well-intentioned courts, legislatures, and lawyers. The hindrances began with "the Williams Act, which deterred corporate takeovers by dramatically increasing both the out-of-pocket costs and the legal risks that bidders face when launching a tender offer." Second, corporate managers and their lawyers crafted new ways of defending against takeovers (and entrenching themselves), including staggered boards, limits on shareholders rights to remove directors and call special meetings, and supermajority voting requirements. Third, and most fatal to the effective operation of the takeover market, lawyers and managers adopted the anti-takeover devices known as poison pills, and the use of these devices passed judicial scrutiny.
Macey concludes his chapter on the market for corporate control with a political explanation of its development and subsequent failure to live up to its potential as a governance institution. The shareholders who would benefit the most from a robust and unimpeded market for corporate control suffer from a classic collective action problem, while managers are a discrete and well organized group with every incentive to protect themselves against market forces. The regulations that have developed are a natural outgrowth of the political climate in which the market for corporate control exists.
Macey advances similar structural and political arguments for why other mechanisms of corporate governance are ineffective, including the corporate board of directors. In his chapter on boards, Macey notes that though much is expected of boards of directors, little is delivered. According to Macey, the U.S. model for the board of directors I structurally flawed. Directors are asked to be both managers and monitors, two tasks which are almost impossible to be carried out successfully in tandem.
First, directors are tasked with a monitoring function. Directors hire and evaluate the performance of management, and oversee all aspects of corporate policy. Macey notes the obvious presence of bias, though, when directors must evaluate the performance of the managers they themselves chose to hire. There is a strong incentive for directors to cast management in the best light, since ultimately the decision to hire those managers fell to the board. Second, directors are supposed to provide ongoing strategic and managerial input on high-level corporate decisions. This requires directors to seek information about the company and its operations and to provide critical advice. The problem, though, is that "the more directors become engaged with management in making strategic decisions the more likely they are to become firmly convinced that their decisions, and the decisions made by their managers, are correct." Macey and other scholars refer to the "entrenchment of this conviction in management's infallibility" as "capture."
The problem of capture cannot be easily solved even though it can be easily described. Capture arises in part from having directors involved in corporate decision-making, but director involvement is seen as one way to improve the quality of corporate decision-making. Macey summarizes his views on the board of directors as a corporate governance mechanism simply: "the institution of the board of directors, as we know it, is not a reliable corporate governance device."
On the whole, Macey studies thirteen different institutions or mechanisms of corporate governance. He deems five of them effective (the market for corporate control, the IPO market, insider trading and short selling, hedge funds, and banks and other fixed claimants), but notes that none of them are encouraged in our legislative and regulatory environment. He deems the remaining eight ineffective (the SEC and stock exchanges, boards of directors, the accounting industry, litigation, whistle-blowing, shareholder voting, credit rating agencies, and stock market analyst) and notes that they are encouraged. Macey offers political and path-dependence explanations to resolve this paradox in some of the book's chapters.
Overall, the book is detailed, thorough, and easy to read and follow. Macey's great strength as a writer lies in his ability to move effortlessly between levels of abstraction; he'll talk on the highest theoretical level about the effectiveness of boards of directors and then support his ideas with discussions of individual case studies on the effectiveness of boards of directors. Macey's thoughts are obviously well-considered and thoroughly researched, and this book should be considered a must-read for anyone interested in the governance of U.S. companies. The book, or excerpts from it, would make a great companion to a corporations course because of its disagreements with the status quo.
I would be particularly interested in Macey's writing in the wake of financial reform legislation. Based on his findings, I predict that he is underwhelmed and unsurprised by the Dodd-Frank bill. Macey does not consider the SEC an effective tool for corporate governance, so he would likely not support giving the SEC more funding and more regulatory authority. He would not be surprised about this result, though, giving the political climate. In my estimation, Macey would also be put off, though not surprised, by the increased regulation of hedge funds. Macey considers hedge funds an effective mechanism for corporate governance, so he would be disappointed to see hedge funds face greater scrutiny. The new Dodd-Frank bill seems to perpetuate Macey's observed paradox: the more effective a corporate governance mechanism is, the less it is encouraged.
If I endeavored to find points of criticism about the book, I would note Macey's dry legal writing style and the fact that the book consists of discrete and largely independent chapters, lacking an overarching set of practical and politically feasible ideas for how to fix some of the problems Macey identifies. The paradox that results from Macey's analysis teaches that because of structural or political problems, effective corporate governance devices are discouraged while ineffective devices are encouraged. Unfortunately, Macey does not suggest a panacea would cure the ills of the system.
On the style point, Macey writes like a law professor would be expected to write. His prose is organized, economical with his words, and organized into easily digestible parts. At times, though, to a non-law trained reader especially, his writing style could begin to appear rote. To a law trained reader, though, this can be considered a strength.
All things considered, my two criticisms of the book are that he writes like a law professor, and that the majority of the book is organized into a series of discrete and largely independent chapters. But all I was promised was a book written by a law professor and organized into a series of discrete and largely independent chapters, and so I consider the book a monumental success.

Measurement mics
What mics are good for loudspeaker measurements.
I need one thats not to expensive, e.g. ECM-8000 Behringer.
Also see this link http://www.speaker-online.de/ (messtechnik)
Some say that this one is pretty good and others say it's crap.
any recommendations?
With the Behringer you get what you pay for. ;)
I'd recommend to get the Sennheiser KE 4-211-2 capsule (~50 Euro) and build your own. There once was a DIY page for this mic somewhere on the net, but I can't find it anymore.
you might be talking about the DIY measurement mic in the ESP pages.
find it in www.sound.au.com
The behringer mic is good except for two things:
- it only goes up to ~19.5 khz
- it's NOISY
Other than that, it does an awesome job of capturing the exact sound of its placement; nothing more and nothing less.
I use mine for measuring the various deq's, dcx's and ultracurves for over three years. I don't record with it - so, what's the problem?
19.5 khz is more then enough, and noise is not that important with frequencyresponse measurements. If the responce of the mic is flat between 200 and 15000hz it will be ok since measurements below 200 hz will be very inacurate (or you need to measure it openair). Just simulate the bassresponse and take that grafic and add it to the grafic you measured with the mic. This will give a more realistic result.
It's just that I need a tool to see if the crossover points are ok, and if the loudspeakers match with their sensitivities.
I do have some software now, so a nice Mic with a good price/performance ratio would do the trick. That Behringer sounds ok then, right?
IIRC, .. www.speakerbuilder.net had a cheap diy measurement mic based on a panasonic capsule
Hmm, I'm gonna see if I can get my hands on one of those panasonic mic capsules! This looks very promissing.
Guys, check out this article. The Behringer seems to be pretty good and so is the panasonic!
I understand that the Behringer ECM8000 needs an external preamp and also phantom power. Does anyone use this mic plugged directly into the mic input of a standard computer soundcard? It is my understandung that there is phantom power voltage onthe mic input for such purcposes on a sound card. I recently obtained an Audigy card for the wide dynamic range and better frequency response it has for my computer testing suite. I'm still trying to get it configured.

We had another successful day at equestrian therapy! Today was her second session since getting her new elbow helper arm. So she got to wear it with Thunder the horse.
I don't know proper horse terminology but she held on with both hands with leather handles attached to the saddle. But when it came to using the reigns, she wanted to work on it with one hand.
After talking to the therapists who work with the riders, they think Jordan should continue wearing her arm to help with additional balance while riding her horse. Our little horse rider was proud and as usual, had a great time.

Nov. 4, 2013
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- After breaking into the SEC's top-10 list for career digs over the weekend, Tennessee volleyball senior Ellen Mullins has been named the league's Defensive Player of the Week, as announced by the conference office on Monday afternoon.
"I'm so proud of the recognition Ellen is receiving for her consistent play, not just this year but continuing from last year," head coach Rob Patrick said. "She has played at a very high level, not just defensively with her digs, but also in her serve receive. She has been a rock for us in that area and allowed us to run our offense."
Mullins, a 2012 All-American who has started every match this year at the libero position, picks up the award for the third time this season, and seventh in her career. She averaged a team-best 6.43 digs per set this weekend.
Friday night against Auburn, Mullins scooped up 14 digs, cracking into the league's record books as she moved into 10th on the SEC's all-time career digs chart with then-1,663 career digs. The Nashville native capped off the weekend with her sixth 30-plus digs performance on Sunday against the Georgia Bulldogs as she tallied 31 digs. She recorded no reception errors on the weekend, further proving herself as the rock of Tennessee's defense.
The 5-foot-6 libero, who competed on the USA A2 team this past summer, has 533 digs on the season, which ranks her third on UT's all-time single season digs chart. She already owns the second and fifth spots on that chart with her 541 digs last season as a junior in 2012 (second) and 471 digs as a sophomore in 2011 (fifth). She is 35 digs shy of reaching the top spot on the list which Chloe Goldman owns with 568 digs set in 2009.
With seven regular-season matches remaining in the season, Mullins has 1,694 career digs, which is 61 away from Goldman's record of 1,755 at the top of Tennessee's career-digs chart.
"She earned the libero position late her freshman year and for her to go on to break records and move into the SEC's top-10 for digs really shows you the type of work ethic she has," Patrick said. "Ellen is very coachable. Those two things have allowed her to be consistent over time. She has perfected her craft by the hours she has spent in the gym passing, digging and getting better technically."
Her three SEC recognitions this year ties her with LSU's Briana Holman for the most weekly accolades for an SEC player this season.

Roberto Mancini and Arsene Wenger slam double standards
SIR ALEX FERGUSON'S stunned Premier League rivals rounded on the FA after the Manchester United boss's incredible ref bust-up let-off.
He and the linesman, I think, after Christmas, it can happen to have a bad performance like today
Fergie escaped punishment for his touchline clash with Mike Dean during United's 4-3 win over Newcastle.
And Manchester City reacted with fury after boss Roberto Mancini was told to explain tongue-in-cheek comments after his side's 1-0 defeat to Sunderland while bitter rival Fergie was in the clear.
And Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said Ferguson deserved to be punished and hinted there is one rule for the Old Trafford chief and another for everyone else.
Wenger said: "If he didn't behave like he should have done, yes of course (he should have been punished). He would be the first to say that. We go sometimes overboard on the touchline and when we do it we have to be punished, it is as simple as that.
"If it is me or Ferguson or anybody else in the world, the rules are the rules. It is not rules for one person and the rules for another person, it is the same for everybody."
Mancini slammed referee Kevin Friend after City's Boxing Day loss and joked the official "ate too much for Christmas".
He added: "He and the linesman, I think, after Christmas, it can happen to have a bad performance like today."
QPR boss Harry Redknapp was also told to explain his comments by the FA after blasting the officials following his side's 2-1 defeat to West Brom.
Redknapp labelled referee Chris Foy's decision to allow West Brom's second goal to stand, despite a foul on keeper Rob Green, and not to award Rangers a penalty for a Liam Ridgwell handball "scandalous".
Redknapp maintained he did nothing wrong, saying: "I got frustrated the other day.
"I didn't chase the referee onto the pitch, I waited and went into his room half an hour after the game just to ask how he came to those decisions."

A team of Wired.com editors descended upon Austin, Texas, last week for the annual South by Southwest festival. A flurry of gadget fidgeting, film watching and music listening ensued — all that and a lot of barbecue, cocktails and Lone Star beer.
Michael Calore was one of those on the ground. In this special SXSW edition of the Playlist podcast, Calore picks five standout acts from the more than 2,000 bands and solo performers that played at the music, film and technology expo this year.
Playlist Podcast: Episode 22
Who: Capsula
Song: "Magnetic Brain"
Album: Rising Mountains
This trans-Atlantic trio originally hails from Argentina, but is now headquartered in Spain. Last year at SXSW, Capsula caught the ear of Rolling Stone magazine's underground music guru David Fricke, and the band has been gaining steam since. Psychedelic grooves and noisy, undulating walls of feedback permeate this track from Capsula's 2009 BCore release. The band's live performances are equally chaotic: During Capsula's SXSW set, front man Martin Guevara crawled about the stage, jumped from the drum riser and threw his guitar on top of a speaker, leaving it to do its thing while he frantically danced about the stage.
Who: Oh No Ono
Song: "Internet Warrior"
Album: Eggs
When considering the title of this Oh No Ono record, it is easy to imagine eggs of a different variety than those found in the dairy section of your local supermarket. I'm talking alien eggs here. But not malevolent aliens — just strange, pale, oddly dressed aliens. Oh No Ono are Danish, after all. The bubbly psych-pop of "Internet Warrior" pulsates and trickles with synth flourishes beneath space-odyssey harmonies. Oh No Ono's new album is out on The Leaf Label.
Who: Moon Duo
Song: "Killing Time"
Album: Killing Time EP
This San Francisco duo is the side project for Wooden Shjips guitarist and singer Ripley Johnson, who collaborates with keyboardist Sanae Yamada on the effects-drenched dirge, which is also the title track from Moon Duo's latest release on Sacred Bones Records. Zone out to this droning track while contemplating the void of the universe.
Who: Real Estate
Song: "Beach Comber"
Album: Real Estate
Though it's true that Real Estate is one among the many young indie bands indulging in the recent resurgence of the heavy reverb-and-tremolo, garage-surf sound, the band stands out from others of the same ilk. Real Estate accomplishes this with big hooks and solid songwriting, as evidenced on this track from the group's self-titled Woodsist Records release.
Who: Califone
Song: "Funeral Singers"
Album: All My Friends Are Funeral Singers
For his final pick, Calore picks Califone, an old favorite he saw doing something he'd never seen before. The band played the score to the film All My Friends Are Funeral Singers live. Califone front man Tim Rutili directed the film, which was featured both at the Sundance Film Festival and during the film portion of SXSW. This lilting, folky track can be found on the film's score, available now on Dead Oceans.
