Robert Vadney's Top 5
Robert is mostly known for creating a unique style of Club music with his strange/angry/melancholic compositions, his Rock attitude and having a strange/twisted style of appearance amongst the Club music Producers and DJs - altogether making him a true artist, who stands out..
VNSs+VCSs Arco lite (Orkester Sound Bank / Strings / String Combinations)
Real Strings are very hard to find and this is a very real-sounding staccato of strings when used correctly - example of this can be heard in my "The MunchKing" from my "Christmas Anthems" EP, coming out this December on Paul Oakenfold's "Perfecto Records"..
Music 4 Airports (Reason Factory Sound Bank / NN-XT Sampler Patches / Piano)
How can you not love that old and beat up piano sound, with that calm-sweet atmospheric pad behind it..?
Euphorichorale (Reason Factory Sound Bank / NN-XT Sampler Patches / Pads)
Very calm and sweet pad - great for creating backgrounds and great for Trance and Chillout.
Ocean View (Reason Pianos / Piano Patches / Style Pianos)
If you want a very old classical piano, add a light Scream distortion and proper EQ and this is your weapon of choice. Again, an example of this can be heard in my "The MunchKing", coming out this December on "Perfecto Records"..
Vadney Trance Pad
I decided to take a few minutes to make a free preset for all fans and Trance lovers to use and even included a small melody example as well - it comes in song mode (including example) and plain Combinator (for direct usage) - Enjoy.. };-]

London show fetes Italian fashion designer Valentino
By Li-mei Hoang
LONDON (Reuters) - The Oscar dress worn by Julia Roberts and a frock for Audrey Hepburn are just two tantalizing items out of the dozens of sumptuous pieces gathered for a new show in London celebrating Italian designer Valentino Garavani's 50 years in fashion.
"Valentino: Master of Couture" at Somerset House on the River Thames in central London features more than 130 pieces from a designer whose clients included Grace Kelly, Jackie Kennedy Onassis, Elizabeth Taylor and Princess Margaret.
Dressed in a light grey suit and lilac shirt, the man simply referred to in the industry as Valentino told reporters he hoped to do more shows in England in the future.
"I love England, I love to be in London and I hope to be able to come very often to do other exhibitions, other Valentino things in this beautiful city," he said.
Besides the black velvet evening gown with white ribbons Roberts wore when she won the best actress Oscar and a delicate floral dress with green sash designed for Hepburn, the exhibition delves into Valentino's personal letters and photographs, displays handcrafted couture gowns and has digital installations, including videos of his atelier.
Upon entering, visitors are greeted by a huge white flower installation with interactive projections and quirky display cases made of plush white upholstered chairs.
A pale lilac carpet on the next level leads visitors towards a catwalk, where rows of white chairs are lined up amongst more than 130 pieces from Valentino's couture collections.
"We want visitors to feel in the centre of things on the catwalk, so it's a privileged catwalk in a sense...We hope it's going to be a really pleasurable experience," co-curator Alistair O'Neill told Reuters. Continued...

Gardening to Lose Weight
February 18, 2013
Our New Year's determination and resolutions to eat better, lose weight, and exercise more have gone by the wayside, said a University of Illinois Extension horticulture educator.
"Being cooped up indoors doesn't help either," added Martha Smith. "We look out the window at our sleeping gardens, planning for the coming season as we munch on carb after sugary carb."
But there is hope. There is an activity that can provide exercise and cardio training and improve our flexibility. It builds muscle and helps prevent osteoporosis. It also helps relieve stress and provides our families with nutritious fresh food - all of this without leaving home or fighting for the stairmaster at a crowded gym.
"Spring has arrived, days are getting longer, and gardening season is just around the corner. Gardening helps the pounds and inches melt away," Smith said. "Even better, we don't regard this as exercise because we have so much fun doing it. A quote from a fellow gardener says it all: 'Gardening is a labor of love. A treadmill is just labor.' "
We hear constantly about Americans' expanding waistlines. Obesity, heart disease, and adult-onset diabetes are reaching epidemic proportions. Kids are becoming couch potatoes, truly taking on the shapes of these edible tubers.
"Gardening is a great way to combine a hobby and physical exercise," said Smith. "You bend. You squat. You walk. You carry weights. Think of the plants you could buy with all the money you spend on a health club membership you never use!"
The health benefits of gardening are impressive. Gardening uses all the major muscle groups, which do most of the calorie burning in the human body. But if you are a relatively inactive person, start slowly. Strenuous activity too rapidly and all at once can lead to injuries. Start out with light activities, taking frequent breaks. Set one daily gardening goal for the first week or two, and increase garden activities over time.
The calories burned by a person weighing 150 to 180 pounds in 30 minutes are:
• Sleeping: 30-36
• Sitting quietly watching TV or using computer: 40-60
• Watering lawn or garden: 61-66
• Mowing lawn with riding lawnmower: 86-100
• Trimming shrubs with power tools: 120-142
• Bagging or raking leaves: 162-165
• Planting seedlings: 152-162
• Planting trees: 153-182
• Weeding: 152-182
• Digging or spading: 170-202
• General gardening: 200
• Mowing lawn with push mower: 204-243
• Double digging: 244
"We garden because we enjoy it. Share this love with others," Smith said. "Get yourself and those kids off the couch and in the garden planting seeds, watching plants grow, and being rewarded come harvest."
She added that a garden mentor can make all the difference. "Show them you care and they will begin to care as well. My father-in-law used to say, 'The best sleeping pill is a hard day of work.' Yes, you can garden excess pounds away. You will feel better, your clothes will fit once again, you will sleep better, and you will be rewarded with beautiful gardens and fresh produce that your family can enjoy."

Athletic Training - Professional Glance
The 1930s and 1940s marked an awakening with regard to the need for an organization for athletic trainers. The original attempt to establish a national association for athletic trainers was in 1938, at the Drake Relays in Des Moines, Iowa. The athletic trainers working with teams competing at the Drake Relays track meet realized the need for an organization of individuals to promote the exchange of ideas and techniques that would be useful in providing athletic training services to athletes.
Through the originality of thought and energy of people such as Charles Cramer who sought to establish such an organization, the NATA was founded in 1939. This early organization saw the appointment of a president and secretary-treasure as well as the establishment of a home office for the association in Iowa City, Iowa. Early on, the NATA published a small, mimeographed monthly newsletter called the NATA Bulletin. Members received a copy of the bulletin and were encouraged to write articles for inclusion in future issues.
The NATA continued until1944, when World War II caused a great strain on the members of the fledgling association. The difficult years of the association from the late 1930s to the mid-1940s saw several accomplishments. The NATA
- established membership classes (1939)
- published the Trainers Journal (1941-1942), written for athletic trainers and coaches
- created an insignia and established a certificate (1941)
- established regional divisions of athletic trainers (1942)
- held national meetings
Although the early organization failed perhaps due in part to financial and communication difficulties, it appears that many lessons were learned and later applied in the creation of what we know as todays NATA.
Beginning in 1947, more and more schools were employing athletic trainers in their athletic departments, giving a renewed focus to the establishment of the NATA. These athletic trainers often had no formal education to qualify them for their positions. Many had learned the skills and techniques from other in the same field and from physicians working with the sport teams. The new era of the NATA began, and in 1950 the first national meeting was held in Kansas City, Missouri.
The National Athletic Trainers' Association was founded in 1950 when a core group of about 200 athletic trainers met in Kansas City to discuss the future. The decade of the 1950s was one of considerable growth for the NATA. During the decade, schools began offering undergraduate programs in athletic training. Outstanding accomplishments of that era included the following:
- The NATA constitution and by-laws were formed (1951)
- The official logo of the NATA was adapted (1952)
- The NATA Code of Ethics was adopted (1957)
- The first program of undergraduate education of athletic trainers was submitted to and approved by the board of directors (1959)
The 1960s through the 1980s brought continuing growth within the profession that has molded what our profession is today. In 1969, the medical profession fully recognized the significance of the NATA when the AMA acknowledged the importance of the role of the athletic trainer and commended the NATA for its role in developing professional standards. Other additional accomplishments of this era includes the following:
- The development in the 1960s lead to the first NATA certification exam examination (July 1970)
- The first graduate athletic training curricula were approved (1972)
- The NATA adopted official initials for designating the certified athletic trainer (ATC) (1975)
- The attention of certified athletic trainers turned toward state licensure (1978)
- The NATA established continuing education requirements for all certified athletic trainers (1979)
- The National Commission for Health Certifying Agencies granted membership to the NATA (1982)
- The official recognition of athletic training as an allied health profession by the American Medical Association (AMA) (1990)
In addition to these important events, the NATA looked to the AMAs Committee on Allied Health Education and Accreditation for evaluation of athletic training curricula. To further raise the bar, the NATA sought to have all college athletic training programs attain the status of an academic major or its equivalent. This tremendous change in academics is the new generation (21st Century) that the NATA is approaching.
Today, the NATA membership spans the globe and includes more than 27,000 allied health care professionals. NATA members can be found in schools, on the sidelines of professional sports, in hospitals and clinics, and in the industrial setting as the profession that began with college sports expands to guard the safety of all people involved in physical activity.

From the Code of Virginia:
§ 2.2-3300. Legal holidays.
The Friday preceding the third Monday in January - Lee-Jackson Day to honor Robert Edward Lee (1807-1870) and Thomas Jonathan (Stonewall) Jackson (1824-1863), defenders of causes.
The Commonwealth's Attorney General, Bob McDonnell, released the following statement regarding today's Lee-Jackson official state holiday in Virginia:
"Today, the Commonwealth commemorates the lives of two great Virginia military leaders, General Robert E. Lee and General Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson. Lee and Jackson were men of principle, dignity, courage, and humility."
"They were good men and outstanding generals who lived in a different and tumultuous time when our nation was torn asunder. Their lives and accomplishments are worthy of remembrance by all Virginians. Generations of Americans have studied Lee and Jackson for their military prowess. Both received their training at the United States Military Academy at West Point. Lee would later serve as Superintendent of the school. Together, they embodied the best qualities of the American soldier. But those who are also aware of their personal attributes have taken their true measure. Perhaps Robert E. Lee's greatest legacy is found not on the battlefields, but in the classrooms of the great Virginia university that bears his name and reflects his character. And Stonewall Jackson's life, though cut short in the tragedy of war, is remarkable not just for the renowned Valley Campaign, but for how he valued faith and family foremost. The memories of these two leaders still echo across Virginia, and we can learn much from their lives. It is fitting that today we pause to remember these two outstanding Virginians, General Robert E. Lee and General Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson."
So honored they are.

Bell returns to NES
Barbara Lawlor, Nederland. Last Thursday, the first day of school, before classes resumed, the entire Nederland Elementary School body gathered in the parking lot to welcome an old friend to its original home.
They greeted the polished black bell with the raising of the flag and the Pledge of Allegiance. Each teacher had a chance to pull on the rope setting the bell to announce its presence, piercing through all the walls of time that crumbled as the bell pealed over and over again, echoing down the valley. Old timers might have heard it, thinking it was a familiar sound, remembering another time.
Back in the day, when Nederland Elementary School students heard the school bell clanging at 8:15 a.m. they knew they had 15 minutes to scramble up the hill to be on time for their first class. It was the 1950s. Danny Glasser, a student then and a retired resident now, was one of those children who responded to the call of the sturdy old bell.
In 1953, Danny was in third grade and his brother Dallas was in ninth grade when the old school was demolished. Small mountain towns had consolidated into the Nederland School District 67. The town was re-establishing itself and boasted hundreds of children first grade through high school. The district decided the kids deserved a new school building.
Before new walls and ceilings were constructed, the bell was stored in a safe place off the gymnasium, where it sat sequestered in the dark space until John Slovak bought it from the Nederland School District. He took the bell to the A-H Ranch north of town.
Slovak hung onto the bell for several years and then sold it the Duffel family of the Forest Lakes Ranch. At that time, Rod, one of the Glasser brothers, was dating and then married Joan Duffel. In the mid-60s, Rod was given the bell and he took care of it into the mid-80s when he gave the bell to Danny Glasser.
Danny married Linda Replewski who also graduated from Nederland High School and the two of them had two daughters who attended Ned schools. For the next 20 years, the bell was dormant as the Glassers went on with their lives. But around 2005, the Glassers decided they wanted the bell to be out in the public again.
Dallas Glasser contacted people who had the equipment and know-how to refurbish an old bell. He also asked them to mount the bell on a wooden frame that could be moved around. He was instrumental in bringing the bell to its present shiny black excellence.
In the 2006 Old Timers' Parade, the bell had a place of honor, being pulled by Leonard Cole driving his classic tractor around the parade route. After the parade, the bell was moved to the Nederland Mining Museum where it was viewed by hundreds of visitors in the past decades.
But it was still not home, still kind of a transient in its own home town. When Boulder County purchased the mining museum two years ago, Danny retrieved the bell and decided to return it to its original home, the NES.
As 300 students, teachers and administrative staff applauded him, Danny said, "Now the bell is home. It has finally returned home. It should have been here from the beginning, but I'm sure they will take good care of it.
This isn't going anywhere anymore, believe me."
In one large voice, the students shouted, "Thank you, Mister Dan. You are special."
NES principal echoed that sentiment, proudly accepting the bell as a part of the school's history. After each teacher rang the bell, the classes were dismissed one by one to their rooms.
It was a great celebration for an old bell and an amazing start to the school year.

[Manga] Is Naruto being unreasonable?
I have failed to follow the logic of why naruto is so persistant in chasing Sazuke. Sure, before the new Arc, Naruto has reasons to get back Sazuke, because Naruto thought that Orachuma would kill Sazuke.
But right now, Naruto knows that Sazuke took care of Orachuma, so why exactly is naruto so clingy to Naruto? It just seems so unreasonable to dispatch an army of Ninja to chase after Sazuke because Naruto insists that "Sazuke must be his best friend forever and must always stay within his sight". Given that Sazuke is even acting kind and good (freein prisoners, battling evil), why is naruto still chasing Sazuke?
Naruto is just reminding me of my ex who keeps bothering me.
updated reply:
For those who stated that Naruto is trying to save Sazuke, I am wondering what exactly is Sazuke being in danger of? He is not falling into evil. He is very powerful. He is not being tricked by anyone. He has friends, even. He is not hostile against Konoha. I think Sazuke is managing very well on his own, healthy and good.
So why exactly do Naruto want to drag Sazuke back? Consider that he knows perfectly well that Sazuke is not happy in Konoha. Is he some control freak? "Because you are my brother I want you to stay by my side 24/7?"
I am just confused, as Naruto chasing Sazuke is the main plot of the story, I find it rather illogical.

Sasuke is Narutos first kiss. Guess he can't forget him cause of it. So i won't call him unreasonable. And you're just repeating Itachis question...
Didn't he answer it to, he sees Sasuke likes his brother and guess he doesn't want to see him killed bye Itachi or akatsuki. Don't know if he thinks running along side him is that much safer but it's not like he won't be of help against Akatsuki for Naruto if he could convince him to be back team 9. And the promise ofc towards Sakura, his way of the ninja. But not like it's gonna turn out this way.
Tbh if you don't know the answer of this question you really should reread the manga cause it's not like the reason ain't obvious.
Still could you imagine the Sasuke / Naruto combo now? Tho I guess some people think Naruto ain't worth to fight along side Sasuke...

well, we're about to see the confrontation between saskue and his brother anyways sooooo, wait a week to talk about itachi.
Naruto's chasing Saskue because Kishimoto is so high and jacked up on shit and women that he keeps us going with one monster of a chase scene and everyone is too stupid to figure it out... including me.

I wouldn't say he's being unreasonable, but I would say unrealistic. The probability that Sasuke would return to Konoha with Naruto (at least before he kills Itachi) is nil. Regarding the possibility of him returning after he kills Itachi (if he, in fact, does)...what is he supposed to say to Juugo, Suigetsu and Karin; "Hey thanks for coming and helping me, see ya later, good luck with the rest of your lives." Honestly, I think there's a better chance of Hidan's head chewing it's way out of the ground.

I agree. Naruto is unreasonable. And he gets spoiled by the Hokage.
But Naruto is actually already working as if he is ANBU (hunternin) but he drags his own comrades into danger.
Sasuke refused to come back. Even after Orochimaru died. It will be hard but both Tsunade & Jiraiya really need to talk to him and make him forget about Sasuke.
Besides even if Sasuke kills Itachi i think he shouldnt be welcome in Konoha either.

Naruto is still a whiny kid imo.
Still after a hypothetical death of Itachi, Sasuke won't come back to KOnoha and especially not to Naruto.
He should learn to accept the opinion of others...........
Well if you consider how Jiraiya is so naive and still clung to Orochimaru, you can guess that Naruto will never learn it..........

At the end of Part 1 Jiraiya said to Naruto to forget about Sasuke because only a fool would think about bringing him back considering the situation and Naruto stated he would be happy to live as a fool then.
Yes Naruto is a fool but he's perfectly aware of this, just like he decided being a ninja wouldn't mean to be a tool of war after the Zabuza arc or how he stated he would change the Hyuga or how he betted he would finish his Rasengan training in a week or since the beginning how he decided he would become the Hokage whereas he was a looser.
This has always been who Naruto was and who he always will be and as far as we know he has a trend of success doing so.
Naruto is unreasonable, foolish, unlogical and rash and yet you can bet he will somehow manage to get what he wants.

What I think would help Naruto and Sasuke is if Naruto just found Sasuke, and told him hed help him pwn Itatchi. Who can argue with that? They are going to kill Akatsuki right? Itatchi is in Akatsuki, thier goals are similar. And you get to work with your best friend (even tho it probably isnt the same as pre-time skip). Just bring him back once your done.

When their daughter called a couple of years ago, stressed out by her college studies, apartment bills and part-time work, Dan and Lisa Costa welcomed her back into the house with open arms.
Already affected by the recession — Lisa had been laid off from her job as a public-school teaching assistant, and the building-materials company that employed Dan had been pinched by the housing slump — the Costas saw it as a way to stabilize the family's finances when daughter Natalie moved back into their Maitland, Fla., home.
"It just made sense for everyone," said Dan, 54, a sales-account representative. "We could no longer afford to subsidize her living away from home, and moving back in gave her the opportunity to focus on school better without having all the extra pressure out there."
Millions of families across the country have faced similar situations in recent years, as adult children returned to the fold amid a tough economy and high unemployment. But though the outcome can be mutually beneficial, as it has been for the Costas, this "boomerang effect" can instead put a severe strain on households already in tough financial straits.
"We are seeing more and more young people, out of work or facing foreclosure, who are moving back in with mom and dad," said Richard Schram, senior executive at CredAbility in Central Florida, a consumer-credit-counseling agency.
"In many cases, they are bringing a spouse or children with them," he added, "and that can create quite a stressful dynamic in a household."
For parents, the financial question usually comes down to this: How far should they go in supporting their adult children during times like these?
"Most people have a heart for their children and want to help them, especially when they are going through tough times," said Charlie Fitzgerald, a financial planner with Moisand Fitzgerald Tamayo in Maitland. "We have clients who come in and ask us what to do. Some go into their savings. Others will take a sort of 'tough love' approach and let their child suffer the consequences of what may have been bad judgment."
Experts say that, although each family must strike a balance as the parents work out how to support an adult child, there comes a point at which parents must draw a line financially. For example: Never jeopardize future retirement income if the idea of tapping your savings is raised.
"The biggest mistake parents make in these situations is they don't determine what their limitations are and don't communicate that to the child," said Dan Moisand, another principal at Moisand Fitzgerald Tamayo. "If they don't set those boundaries, there's little chance the child will follow them."
Although college students and recent graduates constitute a large part of the boomerang effect, the phenomenon extends far beyond that age group.
For example, the number of people age 25 to 34 moving back in with their parents has skyrocketed since 2003, according to a recent report citing the latest U.S. census data. More than 5.5 million people in that age range were living with their parents last year — about a 33 percent increase in just seven years, according to the analysis by Tom Lawler, a Washington economist and a former vice president of risk policy for Fannie Mae.
During that same period, homeownership among that age group fell from 43 percent to 39 percent, Lawler found.
And the boomerang effect may last for years because of the housing hangover, he said, despite recent signs of an uptick in employment and the U.S. economy overall.
"We are probably not going to a see a big increase in homeownership for a quite some time among people who are now living at (their parents') home," Lawler said. "Even if people find new jobs, they have to be re-employed for a good while, rebuild their savings and their credit, before they can even consider buying a home."
That means many of current financial arrangements may have to last longer than either side had expected.
Such a prospect doesn't seem to faze the Costa family, however.
"After calculating all the money I would have saved by staying home, I would have never moved to an apartment (in the first place) when I started college," said Natalie Costa, 21, who graduated from the University of Central Florida last year. "I was so super-stressed then about my grades. When I called my mom and asked if I could move back in, she said, 'Of course.' Then I just had to swallow my pride and come home."
Now a project coordinator for a Web-design company in Winter Park, Fla., she is working on her master's degree at nearby Full Sail University. She helps pay for groceries, insurance and other personal and household expenses.
She also played a key role in helping her mother develop new computer skills and online job-search capabilities, according to Lisa Costa, who has since landed a job working with severely disabled students in Orange County Public Schools.
"Of everyone in the family, I was the one most glad that Natalie moved back," her mother said. "It's not always easy, but with a lot of understanding and compromise, we make it work.
"You have to give your children their own space, whatever age they are."

Struggling Kids Put Financial Strain on Families
When their daughter called a couple of years ago, stressed out by her college studies, apartment bills and part-time work, Dan and Lisa Costa welcomed her back into the house with open arms.

Barack Obama was accused of being an "absentee president" Sunday as he began a two-week holiday after ordering air strikes on jihadists in Iraq.
Mr. Obama warned on Saturday that Iraq would be a "long-term project," and then immediately left for a two-week holiday at the Massachusetts resort of Martha's Vineyard.
Before departing Washington, Mr. Obama told reporters that he was ready "to not have a suit on for a while."
Pictures of the president on the golf course triggered a scathing attack by Ted Cruz, the Republican senator for Texas and a standard bearer of the Tea Party Right, saying he should "spend less time on the golf course and more time doing the job to which he was elected."
George W. Bush was said to have given up playing golf in August 2003 after being told in the middle of a round that a lorry-bomb in Baghdad had killed Sergio Vieira de Mello, the UN special representative, and 12 colleagues.
He later said: "I don't want some mom whose son may have recently died to see the commander in chief playing golf. I think playing golf during a war just sends the wrong signal."
Mr. Obama has clocked up 184 rounds since moving into the Oval Office — 81 since his 2012 re-election.
White House aides sought to deflect criticism, insisting the president would be kept fully briefed on events and he will interrupt his holiday to return to Washington for two days of meetings.
With Mr. Obama's popularity plummeting, the Republicans are increasingly confident of regaining control of the Senate in midterm elections in November.
Last week Maureen Dowd, an influential New York Times columnist, rounded on Mr Obama as "the boring — and bored — president who can't get Congress to do anything and is just coasting into irrelevance." She added that it seemed he had "seemed to sink into disgust at the gnarled system, slacking off and playing golf."

Average selling price: $43,390
Savings: 8.5% The FX37 is Infiniti's way of bidding farewell to its underpowered FX35 by dropping in a 3.7-liter V6 engine with 325 horsepower. The good news is that the FX37 has all the brawn and toys buyers would expect from a luxury SUV. The bad news is that parent company Honda sacrificed space in its tiny rear seat and its cargo capacity to make that happen. Even with the seats folded down, the FX37 has only 62 cubic feet of cargo space, the smallest capacity on this list. That said, you're getting a lot if you're not looking to lug around kids or camping equipment. As luxury SUVs go, this one's relatively cheap compared with competitors such as the Porsche Cayenne or BMW X6. For under 50 grand, buyers get automatic xenon headlights, fog lights, a sunroof, power-folding heated outside mirrors, keyless ignition and entry, a power liftgate, leather upholstery, dual-zone automatic climate control, heated eight-way power front seats and an auto-dimming rearview mirror. It's also packed with standard electronics including a back-up camera, Bluetooth and an 11-speaker Bose surround-sound audio system with a six-CD changer, an iPod/USB connection, an auxiliary audio jack and satellite radio. Even the V6 gets from zero to 60 mph in 6.2 seconds, which should help performance-minded drivers forgive its dreadful 18.8 combined miles per gallon.

A/C Problems Demystified
June 30th, 2016
Believe it or not, the A/C system in your vehicle is fairly simple in principle and design. Like your refrigerator, it operates on a cycle of compression and expansion of a gas, known as refrigerant. The compressor turns the gas into a liquid, and as the gas evaporates it provides cooling. Like your refrigerator, its main components are:
- Compressor
- Condenser
- Receiver/dryer
- Thermostatic expansion valve
- Evaporator
- Refrigerant
- Blower
The good news is most automotive A/C systems have become very robust and reliable compared to cars from a generation ago. Most of the time, poor performance is due to low refrigerant levels due to lea ...[more]

Last week at work, we were working on a project and my coworker requested that we replace the word "fancier." This led us to Thesaurus.com, which brought up the word…gingerbread?
OK, clearly this is an awesome word that needs to be part of the vernacular! I'm now going to add gingerbread to everything. Well, I mean, I think I already do — God knows I like elaborate, gaudy, and superflous ornamentation — I just wasn't calling it that.
And is there a better time to add gingerbread to your life than the holidays?! I added a lot of gingerbread to my apartment over the weekend.
Well, first, I made some real gingerbread. Or, actually, ninjabread.
I put on Christmas music and then Eric and I used this gingerbread recipe and these cookie cutters to make the cookies that we both loved last year. I took them to work on Monday and everyone had the same reaction I did when I had them for the first time: "I didn't think I liked gingerbread, but…wow."
I also spent some time putting together a new table we had bought the night before for the living room. I like my apartment, but there is a bar separating the kitchen from the living room that, to me, feels like a huge waste of space. It's ugly, not functional, and I've never been able to envision how I want it to look. We put a rug and the puppies' crates under it, which helped a little, but there was a section of wall about 3 feet wide that was driving me crazy. I knew it just needed a small table or bookshelf, but I had been too cheap to buy anything. Finally, after hours of looking at pretty things on Pinterest and wanting to have my dream living space on Saturday, I had just had enough.
Once I had assembled the table, I was ready to take on the challenge of making shit look festive!
Later that night, Eric was watching the Kansas State basketball game and after about 10 minutes of listening to him coach from the couch and get genuinely emotional I just…couldn't. I decided to go to Michaels because I had a coupon for 20 percent of of everything, even the sale stuff. When I got there, it was kind of packed. Probably because everything was already on sale.
From there, it's kind of a blur, as I imagine most benders are. I just remember the moment of glee when I found the Christmas stuff they've had for months (naturally) that I've loved for months (because it's mostly sparkly reindeer!) and saw that it was 50 percent off…plus I was going to get another 20 percent off. It was almost too much for me. Almost.
An hour or so later, I lugged four large bags back into the apartment. Quietly. The thing is, Eric isn't as big of a fan of gingerbread as I am and I knew he wouldn't be a fan of it when he was all hopped up on super-fan testosterone. I peeked around the corner of the entryway to see if K State was winning. Judging from how calm he was, they were. I entered the living room.
Eric finally noticed me and just said, "…why are you all covered in glitter?"
"It got pretty intense," I said. I probably still had some glitter under my nose, presumably from the sprint I did back to the wreath asile as I was checking out and realized they were only ringing up as $15 (before the 20 percent off).
He didn't seem to understand that this was an obvious sign of an addiction and that I was about to go crazy decorating the apartment. Well, hey, if you aren't going to do an intervention, I'm sure as hell not going to ask for one. So the game came back on and I got down to decorating. And you guys…I decorated the whole apartment right around him while he watched the game and he didn't notice a thing. I opened and shut doors, hanging up wreaths. I swore as I wrestled with the garland (which, delightfully, covered up the useless bar). Glitter piled up in the dogs' crates like sawdust does in a shop. And yet every time I'd check to see if Eric was about to make a comment about how ridiculous I was making our apartment look, he'd just mutter something to the guy on the free throw line. I feel like me running around, banging into things, leaving a glitter trail, and turning our apartment into a winter wonderland while he just sat there giving himself frown lines is a microcosm of our outlooks on Christmas. It was actually my favorite holiday moment we've shared.
When all was said and done and the game was over, I was thrilled. I love holiday decor but this is the first time I've ever felt so deeply satisfied by my own decorations, probably because this is the first time I've really had my own space to do exactly what I want. I was able to work in all my decorations from last year plus the new items I bought and it felt cozy, well-lit, festive, and representative of all my favorite themes and colors (neutrals, browns, mixed metals/metallics, and evergreen).
(And I'm sure most of you know my style enough to know that that big white deer will be staying on my new table all year!)
The only thing missing from the living and dining area, you might notice, is our actual Christmas tree. Eric asked me if I wanted to put a tree in the living room and I said no. He asked why and right as I looked to the puppies and said "Uh…Beavis and Butthead?" he was looking at the puppies and saying, "Oh…Goofus and Gallant?"
So yeah, the Christmas tree is going up in our off-limits-to-the-beasts bedroom. There's the 3-foot one on the bar and that's the only one the dogs will ever know, at least until I can figure out how to make my (BRILLIANT) idea of an electric-fence-turned-tree-skirt a reality.
How are you adding gingerbread to your space this year? I'd love to hear your favorite themes, your best buys, etc. — and feel free to share pics in the comments using the upload option!


text: I have a new to me but used jenn air electric range, no convection with single oven. The oven set on bake sometimes works and sometimes beeps and throws fault codes sometimes before coming to temp. It can sometimes carry the fault code overnight unplugged. I have replaced only the oven thermocouple. Model number SVE47500B. Early with the old thermocouple it was fault coding F- , now it seems to be faulting FC . I found the wiring diagram with fault code diagnosis. I have checked the J2 harness with multimeter for continuity wiggled it and checked again. It seems to be OK, however I had a repair man look at it a couple of weeks ago and he mentioned there was a filter attached to the J2 cable that was not OEM. I see the new replacements have some device in the middle, I assume it is a factory filter update. As boards are pricey, I am reluctant to start swapping boards with out a better indicator. There is a logic box on the wiring diagram that indicates the oven cooling fan (not the downdraft) is supposed to come on at 500 degrees and off at 490 degrees I assume that this upper limit is replaced with a logic control circuit when the desired set temperature on the front panel feeds back to the PRB, but have no confirmation. The cooling fan comes on around 200 degrees regardless of oven setting and seems to want to run continually until it drops below 200 again. The cooling fan runs while the oven is preheating but sometimes several hundred degrees under set temperature. I checked the hi temp limit the last time it faulted and the AC voltage was 125V relative to neutral at orange wire side of the baking element element. I did not think to check the voltage on the yellow side at the time. The digital panel on the front with set buttons is bright and reasonably responsive. The repair man seems competent enough but pricey and must travel close to 40 minutes each way plus he did not fix it the first time. I can read the wiring diagrams well enough and see the instruction diagnosis that suggests the PRB should be replaced. Early fault codes F- suggest the display board. All board swaps after after continuity checks on J2. Any ideas? jim s

However I would have three magazines that I have to pay for $3.97 weekly. He transferred me to his supervisor Sherry Perrotta to confirm everything. When she started asking my card information I became leary and that's when she reassured me and gave me her name and phone number (201) 308-5379. Also stating this information is needed because they order these magazines in advance.
I even requested a confirmation number (40109616). Less than two hours later I tried to call them back using both numbers to cancel, but no answer after listening to the music for at least an hour. This morning I tried to find a number online and that's when I saw this site saying it's a Ripoff. I immediately called my bank explained the situation and yes they had tried to take money out of my account July 22, 2014 when the agreed upon date was July 30, 2014. Please beware!!!!!!

Hill's W/D food prescribed by vets for diabetes looks, well, horrible!
I looked at the ingredients and in contrast to what I've been reading about diets for diabetic dogs (high protein, low fat, low carb), this food is low protein, high carb, and full of fillers. Also, it's full of corn, which I've read is a low quality carb for dogs. But my vet says it's that or a terrible fate for my dog. Despite that, I really want to do something else. I haven't found another food that is listed for diabetics, so I was thinking of going with the following 2x/day and would love some feedback:
1/2 cup Evo reduced-fat kibble
3/4 can Kirkland brand super-premium lamb/rice or chicken/rice food (cheap, but seems to have same analysis as more expensive foods like Instinct)
handful steamed green beans
What do you think? I can't really afford to feed a 100-lb rottweiler 2 cans of Merrick every day, but I know I'm not supposed to feed all dry food either. I don't have the time to feed a home-cooked diet. I'm trying to come up with a compromise...
Asked by

- Cast your vote for which answer you think is best!
It doesn't look like enough food to me. Lily at 50 pounds eats more than half that amount. How many calories are in that diet? How many are you shooting for? Waltham's Daily Energy Requirements chart says active - 2088, typical -1926 and senior neutered inactive - 1576 for a one hundred pound dog.
Is there any reason you feel you can't feed all kibble? It is slightly more processed, but cooked is cooked. If price is a concern, I found canned much more expensive. I can add my own water if that's what Lily wants.
The green beans are good for fiber to slow down the absorption of the food to reduce the peaks and valleys of controlling blood sugar.
I sent you a p mail. Sorry that it sounds like a Canidae ad. I needed more than 1000 words.
Good luck, big guy.

Hi, In Feb 2008 we found out our rottie had diabetes she was put on the Hill's w/d and her sugar levels were very hard to regulate. Then we happened to visiting a friend out of stateand went to a Petsmarts that had a Vet service. We found a dog food specially made for diabetic dog. Our vet orders it for us because our local pet store do not carry it. Royal Canin Diabetic HF works great. Also Purina makes a Diabetic dog food that might work, too. Good luck!

Check out Wellness Core Reduced Fat dry food and possibly Innova Canned reduced FAt, as well as Purina DCO. Show the ingredients of these your vet, or a holistic vet and see what they think. My dog has colitis, which seems to respond to the same kind of diet, as DCO and Hill's W/D are also for diabetes.

Activities meet the following objectives:
- understand how a cartoon uses words and images to make a political statement
- learn about gender discrimination and Title IX
This is the eleventh lesson in the series "Using Editorial Cartoons to Teach Social Justice."
In 1972, Title IX banned sex discrimination in schools that receive federal funding. Title IX is best known for its impact on girls' and women's athletics.
Before Title IX became law, few schools offered significant opportunities for girls to participate in sports. That has changed a great deal since 1972. In 2006-2007, 41 percent of high school athletes were girls. In 2005-2006, 42 percent of college athletes were women. [1] These numbers represent a huge improvement from the days before Title IX. Nonetheless, girls make up half the high school and college populations, so equity would require that fully half of high school and college athletes should be female.
This cartoon focuses on the disparity that still exist between for boys' and girls' sports in high school, and the impact of that disparity.
Artist: Jeff Parker. Reprinted with Permission. Teachers may purchase individual cartoons for other lesson plans at PoliticalCartoons.com
This cartoon is particularly rich in visual images and words that the artist has used to make his point. Working with a partner, discuss the following questions.
1. Predict
Start with your overall impression and use it to predict what the cartoon is going to address. When you just glance at the cartoon, what do you see? What do you think the cartoon will be about?
2. Symbols
a. Now look at the images. Sometimes a cartoon uses a person to represent something else. The Statue of Liberty is a symbol that represents freedom; Uncle Sam is a symbol that represents the United States. In this cartoon each person represents a whole group of people. What groups do they represent? How can you tell?
b. What do you notice about the two people in the cartoon? Why do you think they appear this way?
3. Words
a. Read the words in the cartoon. What labels appear on the people's clothes? What labels appear elsewhere in the cartoon? What do these labels add to your understanding of the cartoon?
b. What does the caption say? What does it add to your understanding?
4. Using Symbols
Working on your own or with a partner, further explore either gender inequalities or discrimination. Then, based on your discoveries, make an editorial cartoon in which one person represents a whole group of people. Post the editorial cartoons around the room.
[1] http://www.titleix.info/10-Key-Areas-of-Title-IX/Athletics.aspx
Extension Activity:
Research Title IX to find out what it addresses in addition to athletics, as well as the effects it has had. Either write your findings in a report, or share them in a class discussion.

London will face further riots and social division unless children from deprived backgrounds are given better access to the arts, one of Britain's most famous authors warned today.
Michael Morpurgo, the author of War Horse and a former Children's Laureate, said that "dance, drama and libraries" could all inspire the young to lead creative and positive lives.
But he warned that unless institutions such as the BBC, galleries and theatres made greater efforts to attract children too many would remain "alienated" from society and use their "phenomenal" energy in destructive ways.
Mr Morpurgo's comments came as he prepared to appear with the actor Peter Duncan at a conference today at London's Unicorn Theatre organised by the charity Action for Children's Arts.
A report produced for the event warns that most major arts organisations spend a tiny proportion of their funding on programmes or activites that will appeal to children, even though under-12s make up 15 per cent of the population, and makes a series of proposals for improving this situation.
Mr Morpurgo said that action was essential and warned of future disorder unless disadvantaged children who currently felt shut out from the arts were given ways of using their "pent-up" energy constructively.
"We all seen what happens when kids get alienated and we all moan and groan when people run riot on the streets. But this is what happens when you don't engage their energy creatively," he said.
"These are the very children that we should be looking after in these extremely difficult times. The arts can be life-changing. I have seen time after time young people coming out of the theatre completely wide-eyed."
Mr Morpurgo, who has been a prominent campaigner against the closure of libraries, said that he was not excusing rioters or expecting extra money to be spent in a time of econonmic constraints.
Instead, he said that teachers, parents, arts organisations and community leaders should encourage children from all backgrounds to take part in the arts in what could be a "long term", rather than overnight, means of reducing divisions in society
He added: "You reap what you sow. One reason that people riot is that they don't feel that they belong. But the arts is one very good way of making them feel that they do. It is not a short term solution, but it is a way of chanelling the phenomenal energy that young people have in a creative way that will benefit us all."
Today's report is based on a survey of 20 organisations, including the National Theatre, the National Gallery, the BBC, the English National Ballet, and orchestras. It found that the average spending on programming aimed at children ranged from 0.5 per cent to 6 per cent. It suggests that attracting children should in future be an "integral" part of all mainstream activities carried out by the country's leading arts organisations.

A teardown of the Logitech Revue, the first Google TV product on the market, shows a device whose innards are comparable in many ways to a netbook computer.
According to iFixit, which undressed the Logitech Revue, the device is basically a plastic box with a motherboard inside. It resembles a netbook in processing power, keyboard and its overall feel, says iFixit's Miro Djuric.
The $300 product is designed to enable watching TV and movies, surfing the web and using Android-based apps in any combination. Google has been making partnerships left and right for Google TV, such as with the NBA, HBO and CNN.
Slideshow: Google TV on the Logitech Revue
The Revue has slightly more oomph than an Apple TV device, but costs a couple of hundred dollars more, says iFixit, which earlier this year expanded beyond teardowns to introduce a publicly accessible and editable wiki designed for people to share their expertise at fixing things.
Specs include a 1.2GHz Intel Atom processor compared to Apple's 1GHz A4 processor; 1GB DDR3 RAM vs. Apple TV's 256MB of RAM; and 5GB NAND of flash memory whereas Apple uses an 8GB Samsung NAND flash module.
Highlights of the Revue include an Atheros chip that offloads 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi processing from other components of the system, plus lots of empty space that should help to keep the set-top box from overheating. IFixit also likes "a nifty duct that directs the air flow across the CPU heat sink."
IFixit gives the Revue a score of 8 out of 10 for repairability in that the device is easy to open and its parts are easily accessible for tinkering with.
Other iFixit teardowns:
Droid 2 smartphone (August, 2010)
Dell Streak tablet (August, 2010)
Playstation Move controller (September, 2010)

Under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) of 1967, employers with 20 or more workers can't engage in personnel practices that discriminate against individuals age 40 and older. (Many states have laws that apply to employers with fewer than 20 workers.)
Although age discrimination suits have traditionally been brought when a worker over 40 loses his or her job, a recent Supreme Court decision allows older workers to challenge any policy that has a disparate impact on older workers. Smith v. City of Jackson, 125 S. Ct. 1536 (2005)
In 2009, the Supreme Court ruled that employees may not bring "mixed-motive" age discrimination cases against employers. In effect, employees must prove that "but for their age" the employer would not have taken the adverse action. Gross v. FBL Financial Services, 129 S. Ct. 2343 (2009)
Workers over age 40 who are terminated have two ways to prove age discrimination under the ADEA: the d...(register to read more)

It's one of the most beloved shows that's ever been cancelled, and "Arrested Development" is getting a rebirth starting this month.
And according to a tweet from executive producer/narrator Ron Howard, each of the 10 episodes will focus on one of the zany characters in the Bluth family.
One of daytime's funniest, Ellen DeGeneres was on hand at the 2012 Teen Choice Awards on Sunday (July 22).
The 54-year-old comedian shared her infectious smile while walking the Gibson Amphitheatre red carpet alongside her lovely lady, Portia de Rossi.
With their tastes in look clearly rubbing off on one another, Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi t in West Hollywood, California on Wednesday (June 6).
In beige slacks and a flannel shirt, the daytime talk show host headed to her car holding the hand of her "Arrested Development" actress wife - who ditched her usual long blonde locks to show off a new short hairdo quite similar to that of her lady.
Making the most of her evening, Ellen DeGeneres dropped by the 38th People's Choice Awards earlier tonight (January 11).
Just a month removed from revealing plans for a shortened-season return, more details regarding new "Arrested Development" episodes has been made public.
The series, which stars Jason Bateman, Will Arnett, Michael Cera and Portia de Rossi, is releasing the new material via Netflix in 2013.
Looking to broaden their collective portfolio, Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi are embarking into the world of restaurant ownership.
According to a report, the talk show queen and the "Arrested Development" babe are investors in a new vegan eatery set to open in the San Fernando Valley.
She's quite the real estate enthusiast, and Ellen DeGeneres has opened up her Beverly Hills mansion (it's on the market for $49 million) in the pages of Architectural Digest.
Coming as welcome news to the show's many fans, "Arrested Development" has been confirmed to be planning a new season after having ended back in 2006.
The big announcement was made on Sunday (October 2) at The New Yorker Festival, as series creator Mitch Hurtwitz dished plans to produce a shortened season prior to a big screen theatrical offering.

Michael Jackson Prank Called Russell Crowe for Three Years
Here's an interesting tidbit of celebrity knowledge: Michael Jackson used to prank call Russell Crowe. "For two or three f---ing years," Crowe says.
Here's an interesting tidbit of celebrity knowledge: Michael Jackson used to prank call Russell Crowe. "For two or three f---ing years," Crowe says.
Today's Obscure Cover of the Day goes to Thaikkudam Bridge, an Indian Reggae Band, for their "Beat It" cover.
The new Jeep commercial takes all of the best aspects of summer and combines them into one happy-go-lucky ad: driving with the windows down, grilling on the patio, relaxing on the beach, hitting the waves, and partying into the night -- all while the perfect summer soundtrack plays in the background. What's the song?
Three decades after they were originally recorded, songs that Michael Jackson wrote and demoed with Queen frontman Freddie Mercury are finally close to seeing the light of day.
I just came across this YouTube video, which was apparently uploaded a couple years ago. I don't know if this guy is still entertaining people out of his cab in Brazil with the most spot on Michael Jackson singing voice I have ever heard...but you need to see this:
And now enjoy this formal "Smooth Criminal" break. Why didn't I do this at my wedding reception? I don't know if I could have pulled it off like this guy. Don't forget about the bride who comes in at 2:38...she's not bad either!
Michael Jackson is one of those celebrities that earned a lot of money during his lifetime and keeps racking it in well after. Just because a celebrity dies it doesn't mean that their work or the fan interest goes away.
Every year around Halloween, Forbes reveals their list of the Top-Earning Dead Celebrities over the past year (October 2010 to October 2011), and Jackson is clearly tops.
According to an article in this month's Vanity Fair, eccentric superstars Elizabeth Taylor and Marlon Brando were in New York to see a concert performance by their good friend Michael Jackson when the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11 occurred. Fearing more terrorism, Jackson moved his entire entourage, which included Taylor and Brando, to New Jersey the day after the World Trade Center towers fell.
At that point, with all flights cancelled, Jackson rented a car and headed West with Taylor and Brando in tow.
For its first couple decades of existence, the Super Bowl halftime show featured marching bands or "Up With People"-type musical medleys. Unfortunately, but the only folks who really got excited about those performances were the families of the performers.
Over the last 20 years, the Super Bowl halftime stage has become home to top hits and the increased star powers of popular musical acts.
We've compiled a list of the five most memorable of these legendary Super Bowl halftime shows, which should be the ones the Black Eyed Peas try to match when they take the field this weekend at Cowboy Stadium.

"I enjoyed the taste of this, more importantly, my husband liked it! I did modify it a tad.....I baked on a cookie sheet, for the allotted time. I also sprinkled lemon pepper over them and because I am trying to limit sugars, I only sprinkled a little brown sugar over the top. Next time I will try honey instead of the sugar. Loved the pairing of ingredients with the sweet potato."

I seriously wish my nails grew the longReplyDeleteReplies
Definitely try out something like this from Sally Hansen, it could help your nails grow longer!Delete
Your blog is just beautiful and amazing, I like it! :)ReplyDelete
Hi Susanna, thank you so much, I really appreciate it! I am heading over to check out your blog! XOXODelete
Hey, you're back! :)ReplyDelete
I have the same problems with my nails, so i've decided to get me an uv lamp and gel and do my own fakies. I gave up on looking for a product to fix my nails and i am very happy with my gel nails, cause i can do them how i like and whenever i like and don't have to pay lots of money for it!
Hi Janine! Yes I was away from the internet for the past several days, glad to be back!Delete
That sounds like such an interesting product (UV lamp/gel) and I especially love that you don't have to pay a lot of money! I will have to look up reviews and more info online! Thanks! XOXO
my nails are so thin i need a hardner your lucky i went to big lots and got my sally products for $4 gees u scored!ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Jessica, sounds like you still saved a little bit! You might have to go back and see if they marked anything down, they usually do that if the products don't sell quickly!Delete
I'm fine with just my natural nails. I've worn fake before, but I like to change my nail polish so much now it would be crazy for me to have fake nails. I love going to the Spa/Nail salon but if I can do it myself I will lol. I'll have to try this out. Because on the days/times I don't apply nail polish to my nails they seem to break/chip more.ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Ashley, I know exactly what you mean, i like my natural nails and also LOVE painting my nails often! Let me know if you end up trying this product out!Delete
Well... I got his product yesterday and did the research backward :/ReplyDelete
Though i got it £3 less!! (SCORE!!) anyway, do they grow (not drastically) but eventually? because i want my nails visible from the palm of my hand. does it live up to the "visibly longer in 1 week"? If u know:
What is a HEALTHIER nail polish remover: Acetone formula or Acetone Free?
And do you know if this product will recover my nails from the amount of fake nails I've had on before? (on average, maybe 5 a week? I know, bad!!)
Habibah XXReplies
Hello Habibah, I didn't really notice that my nails grew longer because of this product, I noticed that my nails were stronger and healthier looking during and after using this product.Delete
Acetone is a very hard chemical, it can damage/strip your nail, but keep in mind it's ok in moderation. A product such as this Sally Hansen nail growth can definitely help your damaged nails! Give it a try and let me know how it goes!
Thank you so much for visiting my blog; the support of each and every one of you is truly appreciated! I read and value each comment, so I really appreciate all the responses, feedback, and suggestions!

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. – Middle blocker Izzy Gosar from the Arizona state champion Flagstaff High School volleyball team is one of three student-athletes to sign national letters of intent to join the NAU volleyball program in 2013. Joining Gosar will be setter/hitter Jensen Barton from Arcadia High School in Phoenix and outside hitter Addy Lofstedt from Monarch High School in Louisville, Colo.
Gosar will be the first Flagstaff native to play at NAU in more than a decade and the first Flagstaff recruit for fifth-year head coach Craig Choate. She led Flagstaff High School to a 42-0-1 record and the state championship a week and a half ago as the Eagles rallied for a 3-2 win in the title match over Barton's Arcadia team. The 6-0 Gosar totaled 284 kills, 125 blocks and 119 digs during her senior season, averaging 2.8 kills and 1.2 blocks per set while hitting .352. She is the daughter of U.S. Congressman Paul Gosar.
Barton led her Arcadia team to the Arizona Division-II title match and a 30-5 record during her senior season. She totaled 270 kills, 460 assists, and 170 digs this season while hitting .528 after totaling 519 assists for her 30-4 team during her junior season. Barton also played club volleyball for the Spiral volleyball club as she is one of six players from her club team to have signed with Division-I teams.
Lofstedt is a 5-11 outside hitter that played at Monarch High School and the Colorado Juniors volleyball club. She led her team with 266 kills during her senior season, averaging 4.0 kills per set and hitting .348. She also led the team with 26 service aces and was second with 120 digs. She was one of 17 players from her club team to sign to play collegiate volleyball.
The three additions will help offset the loss of five seniors who will be graduating from the NAU volleyball program.

The fact that its natural is irrelevant, your not paying for the actual 'substance', your paying for the delivery of of the substance, i.e. processing , desalination, cleaning, maintenance etc.
Couldnt comment on the profit bit cos I dont know how much they make, but I agree on the 'not for profit' bit, or at least a higher degree of government intervention and regulation.

In a few short weeks, my company will demolish my office space. No, I'm not being singled out for the wrecking ball, our entire editorial department, which supports multiple magazines, will undergo a radical reconfiguration. We're moving to an open office plan, and removing most of the private offices and cubicles in favor of streamlined, shared workspaces. Benihana tables, I call them.
I joke with my next door neighbor, Ned Cramer, editor-in-chief of Architect, about purging our pack-rat hoard. (We never met an architecture book we didn't want to keep.) But it's no joke that all of us will contend with a huge cultural shift and disruption to our personal work habits. I hear headphones help, no pun intended. I keep thinking of Susan Cain's Quiet: The Power of Introverts, and wonder how our contemplative constituency will fare when thrown into the lion's den with our more voluable colleagues.
Well, it's the current vogue in office environments, and a model many architectural firms have used for years. It's worth a try, in service to our goal of breaking down silos and collaborating more across all of our media enterprises. My concern is, what if we spend a bunch of money doing this big remodel and then discover it's a disaster? Do we spend another chunk of money to reinstate our once-divided state?
The larger problem we and others face is the inherent inflexibility of conventional architectural design and construction. Right now, changing our minds means more demolition and reconstruction. But the only certainty is change, as they say. We—or someone else—will want to change the space again in the future. And again. And again.
What a waste.
Going forward, we can ill afford fixed ways of thinking and building, neither economically nor environmentally. Architects and builders must plan beyond current program requirements and take into account occupants they may never meet.
One way to go about this is to shift the paradigm. Instead of approaching a design problem as a one-off, specific response, a systems solution could do the trick. Flexible, transmutable elements can shape a new space—and then reshape it again in the future. Recognizing that design knowledge and material performance may change substantially over time, we should probably add "easily removeable" and "easily recyclable" to our list of systems criteria. And I mean easily recyclable—not through some incredibly convoluted means of collection, deconstruction, and reconstruction that will never, ever happen.
We see plenty of glimpses of this futuristic vision right now. Turn to our case studies—White Street Loft, Leather District Loft Renovation, and Spring Street Loft—and you'll see some fine experiments in mutable spaces. Although largely built-in solutions, they are clever first steps in enabling space to transform. And perhaps these spaces may endure just a little bit longer than more static solutions.
By devising systems rather than custom solutions, I think architects may also discover greater relevance and reach in the housing industry. Just imagine the bright designer who invents a great component system for updating split-level houses.
The possibilities are limitless. And homeowners are hungry for your good ideas.
