We love Provence and Vaison la Romaine is ideally located. 2.5 hrs from Paris from Avignon by TGV train. Marseille airport is 1.5 hrs away. Lyon is 2 hrs by car. Barcelona is 4 hrs by car
We stayed in Allan's apartment for a week, and loved every minute of it. First of all, it's gorgeous! It's impeccably decorated with very french provincial decor. The beds in both bedrooms are extremely comfortable, the shower is amazing, everything worked great! Washer and dryer were a bonus because we were there all week.
The apartment is located literally across from Roman ruins, so the views are amazing. Parking is easy-although beware of all the various market days, so your car doesnt get towed! Allan gives great instructions to ensure you understand the parking rules. He also provided us with a ton of information about our location and surrounding area.
It's a great starting point to see the rest of the Provence region-everything is within an hour, and you definitely need a car. Also, the apartment is located in the town so we could walk to dinner and the bakeries and the huge Tuesday market is right down the street!!
I would highly recommend this place for families or couples! A wonderful place and we would definitely stay there again!!
We have traveled in Europe extensively for many years and prefer apartments in historic places. Maison Vaison was one of the best: beautiful townhouse in a perfect city and area location! Easy walk to restaurants and parking is not a problem. Loved being across from the Roman ruins. Easy access to touring and visiting picture perfect
wine villages. Allan supplies guests with detailed information about the ins and outs of the home and much more -- best we have ever received from the rental apartment owner. Allan communicates promptly by email too. Kathleen was surprised that the home has a full size washer and dryer. We will recommend this home to all we know. Thank you for a wonderful five days. Jay & Kathleen, Denver, Colorado, USA
What a perfect home-away-from home. My husband and I had never rented a French apartment before (it's always been hotels), and now I'm afraid we're spoiled forever. The owners have thought of absolutely everything, from excellent bedding to a fully equipped kitchen. The location could not be better--the Roman ruins are right across the street! Also a plus was having air conditioning, and it was really needed at the beginning of August. We have already recommended Maison Vaison to friends, and we most certainly will return on our next trip to Provence.
I really can't say enough positive things about Maison Vaison! The location is perfect; easy walk to all great restaurants, cafes, historical sites, the museum. It is beautifully decorated and updated; the beds were amazingly comfortable and the sofa bed was also comfortable. There was attention to every detail; plenty of fluffy pillows, fluffy towels, bed linens, blankets, eating utensils. Also, my husband loved the fact that Maison Vaison was equipped with good AC. Especially, since our stay was in August. There was also convenient amenities; many English tv stations, English DVD's, washer, dryer. Fortunately, Mr. Glube left instructions (in English) for most things (TV, washer, dryer, etc.). He was also very easy to communicate with when we were booking Maison Vaison and prior to our arrival and during our stay. I definitely recommend both Maison Vaison and the town of Vaison-la-Romaine. It was a wonderful place to visit. We hope to return.
Look no further! Maison Vaison is a wonderful place to stay, we didn't want to leave!!! My husband and I stayed for 5 nights. We absolutely loved the décor and the feel of the home. Great views of the Roman ruins, especially from the master bedroom. Maison Vaison is situated in an ideal location for exploring the beautiful village and the surrounding region and so close to many restaurants and the local market. Allan (the owner) was a delight to deal with and was very helpful with ideas for the region. Will most definitely stay there again when visiting the area. This place has left us with many special memories!
I stayed at this property for a full month in the spring (April/May) with another couple. They used the master bedroom and bath located at the front house with a great view of the ruins and lots of windows. My room was smaller and darker in the center of the home with french doors leading to the terrace noted in the listing. The terrace did not receive any sun due to the high stone walls and the elevation of the floor. It was a small space and not usable if you wanted sun and a view. It was completely closed in and adjacent to the neighbors home. In fact their window opened onto the terrace so I was able to see them as well as hear them all the time i was in my bedroom.
The kitchen and living/dining area was good for our needs - there were just three of us and we were comfortable. The home is in an excellent location to the village of Vaison la Romaine and we walked everywhere to restaurants, shops and attractions.
I would recommend the home for a short term stay rather than a full month. I was anticipating and area to sit outside and enjoy the glass of wine and a good book.

text: Just to clarify... Spoiler Candice is not really with Amanda. There was a big chance last night could not have gone down as it did. The group who voted out Nick was extremely fractious. No one in the house really likes Candice. Several feel bad for her and the way Aaryn talks to her, but Candice is not exactly a peach to be around either. She has no power in the house. She just happened to work out with Amanda the truth of the male alliance. And Amanda is only truly aligned with McCrae. Several people in the house are not very fond of her. She has a very tight relationship with Helen and Andy, but that is all it is. No formal loyalty claims have been laid between the group that voted out Nick last night. Amanda and McCrae want to use Elissa, and Andy is happy with that strategy also. Helen and Elissa are genuine friends and the first few weeks in the house have bonded over the meanness that has been put upon them. Jesse and Judd are the remaining outcasts in the house and have drifted toward each other because they fit in no where else. However they know that Aaryn's crew is awful and so want to work with Amanda, Andy, McCrae, Helen, and Elissa.

Located in the former rectory of the historic St. Vibiana's Cathedral, this DTLA stunner from acclaimed chef Neal Fraser offers a seasonal menu of New American cuisine (often featured on 'hottest dishes in LA' lists). Elegant and comfortable, the space features three dining venues—an indoor-outdoor bar, a lounge, and a courtyard with a retractable roof.
"Redbird's seasonally driven modern American menu has the sophisticated leanings that this town has come to expect from chef Fraser. From the gougere-like bread–pleasantly spongy tapioca-flour treats served in a cloth bag—to the "kickshaws" (a name the restaurant has given to the smallest plates), appetizers, and mains, the beautifully plated dishes showcase expert restraint and thoughtful preparation. The menu also resists pegging with its mix of cultural references—mole, pot pie, tempura, foie gras, prosciutto, and head cheese all show up." – LA Magazine
"[Chef] Fraser excels at big hunks of protein, be it an extravagant slab of seared foie gras served with tart quince and cocoa nibs, or a rack of red wattle pork accompanied by roasted apples and turnips, the pig fat crisped just so at the edges, the interior juicy and piggy. The 36-ounce porterhouse could feed a table of four and provides some deeply gratifying bites of beef, tangy and charred and bloody. The meaty goodness continues with a gemelli pasta bathed in swarthy braised goat and served with rapini and a poached egg, as well as a chicken pot pie, its contents rich and deeply flavored by chicken heart and chanterelle mushrooms." – LA Weekly
[on 'The Most Epic Meat Dish in LA Right Now:' Redbird's Veal Fraser] "The most talked about dish at Redbird is named after chef Neal Fraser: a hulking bone-in veal chop seared over a stately outdoor grill right smack in the main dining room. It all starts with free-range veal from Strauss Farm (in Wisconsin) that's seasoned heavily and placed over super-hot white oak. In the meantime, chef Fraser puts together the ragu of luscious veal cheeks, Burgundian snails, shallots, garlic, white wine, and reduced veal stock. Oh, don't forget the butter! After the chop is grilled to medium rare, it's allowed to rest before an expert slice job. The earthiness of the snails, plus their unique texture, adds a nice contrast to that awesome hunk of meat." – Eater LA
The historic space, re-imagined by Amy Knoll Fraser and Robert Weimer, is at once refined and casual, classic and contemporary. The comfortable 25-seat lounge features Spanish baroque details – a hand-painted ceiling and beams – and mismatched mid-century sofas and chairs. A large wraparound marble bar (24 seats) connects the lounge and the open, airy courtyard, which serves as the main dining room. White walled, with arched doorways, tiles, and woodwork reminiscent of yore, the 66-seat space also features a sleek retractable roof.

New York at Center of Very Profitable, Very Illegal Ivory Trade
The penalty for selling illegal ivory in New York state is about as punitive as the penalty for being drunk in public, according to state officials: a fine up to $250, or a maximum of 15 days in prison, about the same as disorderly conduct.
State lawmakers held a hearing Thursday to examine how to crack down on the illegal ivory trade. New York City is one of the country's main hubs for illegal ivory and rhino horn sales and distribution, according to state and federal officials.
William C. Woody, Chief Officer of Law Enforcement with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service told members of the New York State Assembly that legal loopholes that allow for the possession of ivory, and selling it with a permit, make cracking down on back-room traders difficult.
Possessing ivory is not a crime, and selling antiques made of ivory is allowed as well.
Woody told lawmakers the ivory arriving in New York is coming from organized criminals in large volumes. "When you're losing 30 to 35 thousand elephants a year right now to poachers, it is not your typical 'go out and shoot something and bring it back," said Woody. "It is a large scale commercial operation, is what's going on."
In 2012, officers seized a ton of ivory worth $2 million in New York City.
The UN Ambassador to Tanzania also gave tearful testimony about his country's dwindling elephant population. The Wildlife Conservation Society believes there has been a 76 percent decline in elephants worldwide since 2002.
While New York City is one of the main destinations for illegal ivory, there are only 25 officers dedicated state-wide to enforcement of all environmental crimes.
Officials say illegal ivory is often disguised as an antique. The only way law enforcement can prove it doesn't date from the pre-ivory ban is through carbon dating. (Stephen Nessen/WNYC)
Ivory that arrives in the U.S. is often carved, making it difficult to prove when and where it was acquired, according to law enforcement officials. (Stephen Nessen/WNYC)

problems.) Conversely, towards the end of the iteration, automating the functional tests usually becomes a greater focus. It would not be uncommon for the QA person to call on the BA for help with this. The more flexibility the team members have in adapting to this kind of shifting demand, the more efficient the team will be.
On the best agile teams, the role of BA and QA merge to the extent that a single mechanism or document is used to express both requirements and tests. This means that customer team members (including the PM) need to be skilled both at requirements elicitation and testing. BAs must get better at learning how to think of tests for requirements, and QA testers must learn how to work with business owners who may not clearly understand exactly what they want. People in both roles need to develop strong interpersonal skills and enough technical understanding to be proficient with testing tools. Such a cross-functional individual, experienced in all facets of the development process, becomes the most valuable person on the agile team.
Project Visibility Enables PM Focus on Business Partnership
The role of the project manager also changes as a member of the customer team. A good agile project has mechanisms in place to provide instant visibility to all stakeholders. Walls are typically filled with project information including the backlog of features or stories, the status of current work, measures of work progress/velocity, and technical design artifacts. All of these artifacts are updated daily so that business owners, executives, and developer can each immediately assess the state of the project.
With the task of communicating and process management greatly simplified, the PM can shift her focus to business partnership and clearing roadblocks - higher value activities. While the PM retains many of the same job functions, the amount of time spent on different tasks changes greatly (see Figure 1). A PM on a well-functioning agile team can devote most of her time to fostering an environment that supports collaborating with the business and clearing roadblocks.
Figure 1: Changing Project Manager Role source: Digital Focus
Being the business partner also requires the PM to become adept at truly understanding business objectives and translating them to technical requirements. The PM's value is based upon her creativity in being able to solve such challenges. The continuous planning practices of agile development reinforce this focus on the business. As iterations are defined and developed, the team spends less time on scope management, resource management, and team management. Instead, the customer team, and in particular the PM, constantly evaluates current progress against the business's goals and objectives. Those tasks that add business value are pursued and those that do not are dropped by the team. For the PM, the key success criterion is the team's effectiveness at building a trusting partnership with the business owner.
For agile to truly succeed, everyone on the customer team needs to be able to perform all aspects of each role. The critical success factors for each person change to be their ability to work in a teaming environment. Specifically, individuals need to:
- Become cross functional experts,
- Build their interpersonal skills, and
- Focus on team goals versus individual recognition.
These changes in the responsibilities of PM, QA, and BA are significant and are often not understood by organizations attempting to transition to agile development. Both skills and incentives need to change. The ability to work in a team environment, collaborate with others, and perform multiple kinds of tasks become the most important aspects of individual performance. Agile development also necessitates a

We are now so used to navigating through a world that is both digital and physical that it takes artists to make us aware of the difference between the two. At Documenta 13, in Kassel, Germany, Canadian artist Janet Cardiff does that with her usual finesse.
Cardiff, here collaborating, as often, with George Bures Miller, works at the edge between sound and installation art, creating crazed accumulations of both aural and visual items. She first made her reputation by giving viewers (hearers) audio and then video tapes to use as they walked around a space. As you moved through the museum, she would tell you where to go, point out landmarks, and then suddenly you would hear something that was not there, or, as you were holding a video camera set to playback, pointed at a gallery, naked people would come running through the space.
The current work is more subtle and evocative. That is partially because of how we, and not just the artist, have evolved. Here, you check out an iPod, and wander through the Kassel train station holding it up in front of the real structures—as many do already when we are looking for something, or chatting with somebody on a video call.
There is a marching band that comes walking through the space, and that swirls around your ears somewhere behind you. There are people on your screen who are not there in the space behind the device. Mainly, however, it is the past that Cardiff evokes with words. She takes you the farthest track at the small provincial station, where freight trains now sit idle, and points out that it was the place from where local victims began their journey to the concentration camps.
Cardiff also makes you look, pointing out where the old building has been renovated, and taking you up and down back staircases you might not notice. Instead of showing you an alternate reality or jazzing up a boring environment, she lets you see both what is there and what was there, and maybe what could be there, as she speculates on the lives of people wandering through the space, by using technology as a form of focus, rather than a distraction. In the piece's most elegiac moment, two virtual dancers perform a passionate pas-de-deux in front of you in the nearly empty ticket hall, bringing human life into view, but only in the ephemeral realm of art.
Many of the other artists exhibiting in the train station's various other sheds and former storage spaces do exactly the opposite: They force you to look at what is real. Lara Favaretto does so in an almost monumental manner, piling scrap metal and concrete she found around Kassel into a mountain landscape that appears completely random, but develops rhythms as you follow the composition of these pieces of disuse. It is a world of deconstructed Richard Serras, existing halfway between the evocation of ruins and the beauty of human craft denuded of use or structure.
Michael Portnoy is more fetishistic, leading you through room after room where only a few objects stand, each spot lit. A single beaker, a ball, a fragment of hardware: each becomes worthy of your contemplation, while also making you wonder whether the whole experience is a journey through the irony of art, which turns the everyday into the precious.
The real revelation comes in the room that the South African artist William Kentridge has taken over for a piece called "The Refusal of Time." A wooden construction, its pieces rotating and seesawing to an indecipherable purpose, stands in the middle of the space. On the worn brick walls, metronomes appear, ticking away seconds. Then a carnival of figures begins to march around you, some of them drawn, some of them actors (including the artist himself). They march around you in a procession, engage in scientific research, fight, and dress up in harlequin outfits. Kentridge evokes his country's past and its violence, but mainly he seems to show us all as fools, moving through our daily lives as time moves on in a different rhythm. In the empty depot, he has deposited images of life defying the decay and the disuse, the static remains and the emptiness of space.

Teva Pharmaceutical Industries' (TEVA) second quarter earnings of $1.28 per American Depositary Share (ADS) were a penny below the Zacks Consensus Estimate but 16.4% above the year-ago earnings.
Second quarter revenues increased 18.6% to $4.99 billion, shy of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $5.09 billion.
The Quarter in Detail
Teva reported sales growth in RoW (30%) and the US (28%). Revenues, however, remained flat in Europe. Currency fluctuations negatively impacted total revenues by $236 million. Teva expects foreign currencies to continue to negatively impact 2012 sales.
Sales in the US grew 28% to $2.5 billion in the reported quarter, boosted by the inclusion of Cephalon and the strong performance of branded and generic products. The company launched four new generic products in the second quarter of 2012.
The US generic business continues to show signs of improvement with sales increasing 16% to $1.1 billion. Sales benefited from the launch of four new products and the continuing strong performance of products launched in the first quarter of 2012.
Important launches in the first quarter included the launch of Teva's generic versions of Provigil, Forest Labs' (FRX) Lexapro and Eli Lilly's (LLY) Zyprexa, among others. The performance of the US generics segment should continue improving.
Branded product revenues increased 37% to $1.9 billion in the second quarter of 2012. Revenues benefited from the inclusion of Cephalon products Treanda ($139 million) and Nuvigil ($91 million). However, Provigil sales ($48 million) declined significantly due to generic competition.
Key branded product Copaxone posted global in-market sales of $982 billion, up 12%. Sales benefited from the take back of distribution and marketing rights in Europe from Sanofi (SNY) and stronger sales in RoW.
Other products that contributed to growth were Azilect at $95 million, up 36%. Meanwhile, respiratory segment sales declined marginally to $209 million and the women's health business sales declined 6% to $112 million.
Revenues in Europe remained flat at $1.5 billion. Although revenues were positively impacted by the inclusion of Cephalon products and the strong performance of branded products especially Copaxone, generic sales were impacted by the macro-economic conditions and healthcare reforms in key European markets.
Negative currency movement also impacted second quarter 2012 sales. European generic revenues of $884 million, while down 12% from the year-ago period, were up on a sequential basis.
Teva received some good news on the Copaxone patent infringement lawsuit front recently with favorable court rulings in the UK and the US. With these rulings, Copaxone should be protected from generic competition until September 2015.
RoW (Rest of the World including Canada, Israel, certain markets in Eastern Europe, Latin America and Asia) revenues grew 30% during the quarter with sales coming in at $1.1 billion. Increased sales in Russia and other countries in Eastern Europe, Latin America and Israel helped boost revenues. Moreover, sales benefited from the Taiyo and Cephalon acquisitions.
API sales increased 9% to $200 million. OTC revenues increased 21% to $219 million. Teva has a partnership agreement with Procter & Gamble (PG) targeting the consumer health care market.
Research & Development expense increased to $298 million from $243 million in the year-ago period. The inclusion of Cephalon was the main reason for the increase. The company said that it expects R&D expenses to increase in the second half of 2012.
Meanwhile, Selling and Marketing (S&M) expenditures increased to $973 million from $794 million mainly due to the inclusion of Cephalon and Taiyo and the take-back of Copaxone rights in Europe.
The company repurchased 3.5 million shares during the quarter. Teva has a $3 billion share buyback program which was announced in Dec. 2011. We are positive on the company returning value to shareholders.
Maintains 2012 Outlook
Teva expects earnings of $5.30 - $5.40 per ADS on total net sales of $20 - $21 billion in 2012. The Zacks Consensus Estimate currently stands at $5.36 per ADS.
The company expects to generate $10.5 billion sales in the US with the EU and Rest of the World (RoW) generating sales of $5.8 billion and $4.2 billion, respectively. The major chunk of revenues ($10.7 billion) will be provided by the generics business (including API sales).
Teva's US generics business is expected to deliver sales of $4.6 billion in 2012. Performance in the EU will continue to be affected by macro-economic conditions, currency fluctuations and healthcare reforms. The EU generics business is expected to deliver revenues of about $3.4 billion. RoW generic product sales are expected to be about $2.7 billion.
Meanwhile, branded products are expected to contribute $8.0 billion to the top line, with multiple sclerosis drug Copaxone contributing $3.8 billion.
While Women's Health products are expected to contribute $500 million to revenues, ProAir HFA is expected to generate revenues of $430 million. QVAR and Azilect are slated to post revenues of $350 million and $340 million, respectively. Finally, OTC sales are expected to be about $1 billion. Other net sales are also expected to be about $800 million.
Teva expects to spend between 6.8% to $7.2% of net sales on R&D. Selling & marketing expenses (including royalties of about $400 million) are expected to range between 18% and 20% of net sales. General and administrative expenses are expected in the range of 5.4% - 6.0% of net sales.
While the third quarter is expected to be lighter on a sequential basis, the company expects to the fourth quarter to be strong. Teva will provide an update on its strategic plan in December.
Neutral on Teva
We currently have a Neutral recommendation on Teva, which carries a Zacks #3 Rank (short-term Hold rating). We expect EU sales to remain weak throughout the year.
Longer-term, the Cephalon acquisition should help Teva expand and strengthen its branded and specialty pharma business. Moreover, the favorable Copaxone ruling is a major win for the company and should do away with any concerns regarding near-term generic competition for the product.

Trickle charging means charging a fully charged battery under no-load at a rate equal to its self-discharge rate, thus enabling the battery to remain at its fully charged level.[1][2] A battery under continuous float voltage charging is said to be under float-charging.[3]
For lead-acid batteries under no-load float charging (such as in SLI batteries), trickle charging is achieved naturally at the end-of-charge, when the lead-acid battery takes in a trickle charge to keep itself fully charged. The trickle charging then equals the energy expended by the lead-acid battery in splitting the water in the electrolyte into hydrogen and oxygen gases.[4] Other technologies, such as the lithium-ion battery technology, are highly intolerant to over-charging, and cannot be float-charged without an external battery management system.[5][6]

Hi all,
I'm cleaning up the '93 Nighthawk I bought recently. I removed the brake rotor to clean up and repaint it. There was the remnant of some kind of threadlocker stuff on the screws.
What's the preferred type of threadlock for rotor screws? Just regular red Loctite?

Plated steel against Alumimum is a no win. 242 coated threads is good for something you don't want to seize up. I go to proper torque with a combo of moly grease and engine oil. Avaition uses stainless helicoils to solve the problem.

I don't have a manual for your Honda but I do have one for a Suzuki Bandit and they specify several types of Loctite according to the location. For brake disc bolts they specify Suzuki Thread Lock Super 1360, which I imagine is Loctite 1360, since Suzuki don't make their own. However, several Haynes manuals I have for different models just say to use a non setting type of thread lock. I would be inclined to go to an auto parts store and see what they have.

Thanks, guys. I did a web search, and didn't find anything specifically designated for this use. Seems like Loctite blue comes up quite a bit. Guess I'll give that a shot.
Ah, el SID, you remembered the tank!
I dropped off the tank and the tail cowl piece that also had some scratches. The body shop hooked me up with their best painter, and said I could work out a deal with him. I got the feeling that they pretty much let him do side work for cash as long as he got his normal insurance work done. He's painted Harley tanks for customers, and I gotta say that this guy went to the mat for me. He tried his best, but couldn't get a match to the OEM candy blue that he liked. So he did some investigating and found that PPG has a color formula in a non-candy that is the closest base/clear to the OEM color. He showed me a sample spray-out of the color, and it looked great. He said he could repaint the tank and tail in the factory three-stage candy color, but the materials alone would cost way more than he had quoted me for the whole job. For just a little more than he quoted for the touch-up, he painted all of my tins in the non-candy matching color. I took a look at the finished tins yesterday, and they are show quality. I drove my cage today so I can pick up all of the tins at lunch. Can't wait to show her off at the local Saturday morning meet-up when she's back together.

A pen that uses plastic for ink allows you to draw in three dimensions. The 3Doodler, invented by Peter Dilworth and Maxwell Bogue, gives people a freer hand in creating sculptures and brings computer-aided design software front and center.
You hold it just like a regular pen, but instead of building a shape layer by layer, as a 3-D printer does, this pen it extrudes the plastic into the air.
VIDEO: Snowflakes Simulated in 3D
The plastic is soft when it is extruded, but it hardens quickly enough that it can form a stable structure. It's the same kind of plastic (called ABS) that is used in 3-D printers. The pen is hooked up to the supply of plastic, which comes in the form of long, thin strings, so it has a kind of tether on it. It doesn't need a computer or any software to work.
The demonstration video shows some of the thing it can do: lifting the pen from a surface, for instance, leaves a straight line of plastic standing up. "Scribbling" would make layers of plastic for a stronger support if it's vertical.
While it seems remarkably easy to use, there might be some hurdles if you get one. Drawing would require a steady hand, and it would be slower than using a pen (the video on the Kickstarter site is sped up in places, so it doesn't always show that controlling the "line" might be a painstaking process). You'd also have to be aware that what you draw has to stand up under its own weight.
VIDEO: The 3-D Printing Revolution Is Here
On the plus side, it's remarkably cheap compared to a 3-D printer: you can get one by pledging $75 on the Kickstarter page. The project has raised more than $830,000, well past its $30,000 goal – and there's still a month to go.
The makers of 3Doodler are also partnering with artisans on Esty, and offering stencils so users aren't left having to practice on their own.
It is a Kickstarter project, so there is some reason to be skeptical that the inventors can deliver on their promise to ship the 3Doodlers on time – they wouldn't be the first to run into problems. On the other hand Dilworth and Bogue seem up front about the challenges they will face with quality control and finding a factory in China to build them. Their FAQ also says they've worked with manufacturers in China before on other products.

National Day of Action Against Torture
99.99% of people oppose torture; coalitions are growing to mobilize on the tenth anniversary of the opening of Guantanamo Bay to urge the closing of the notorious detention facility and a return to the rule of law and an end to torture. On the weekly Community Currency radio show, organizers John Humphries, National Religious Campaign Against Torture, and Cynthia Papermaster, Codepink, will describe the upcoming actions and campaigns which include noon rallies on January 11, 2012 in DC's Lafayette Park and San Francisco's Federal Building at 7th & Mission to pressure the President and Congress against their institutionalization of torture.
Please listen to or support the growing efforts of activists around the world and throughout the United States that are mobilizing against torture. John Humphries and Cynthia Papermaster will both speak this Thursday, January 5, 2012 from 2-3 pm Pacific Time on Community Currency on the Progressive Radio Network.Wednesday, January 11, 2012 will mark the decade long anniversary of the first detainees being jailed at the U.S.-controlled detention facility in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The terrible conditions imposed upon detainees at Guantanamo has indelibly enshrined torture as a facet of US policy in violation of international law and universal moral ethics. A broad coalition of groups have called for a national day of action against torture. There are plans to rally and form human chains in Washington DC, as well as San Francisco to pressure President Obama as well as Congress to return to the rule of law and to shut down the detention facility. The National Religious Campaign Against Torture, Amnesty International, Center for Constitutional Rights and Witness Against Torture are organizing the DC rally, which begins at noon in Lafayette Park; the San Francisco rally at noon at the Federal Building at on 7th & Mission is being spearheaded by Cynthia Papermaster of Codepink with co-sponsoring organizations including Berkeley No More Guantanamos, Witness Against Torture,National Accountability Action Network, War Resister's League-West, World Can't Wait, Wellstone Democratic Renewal Club, and the Northern California 9/11 Truth Alliance.
National Religious Campaign Against Torture Director for Program Coordination, John Humphries will give an overview of the national and DC campaigns to end torture. He has more than ten years' experience as a community organizer in rural Appalachia and in Connecticut. A member of the Hartford Friends Meeting, John has also traveled to Iraq in June 2002 with a Quaker/AFSC delegation, and he has helped organize a statewide interfaith network acting to oppose torture and the war in Iraq.
Cynthia Papermaster, is a 40-year resident of Berkeley, with a BA in Political Science and Master of Library Science degrees from UC Berkeley. She has been very involved as a parent with with PTA, and working on educational issues, as well as a champion of impeachment during the Bush reign; she continues to organize against torture and for accountability with Codepink.
The show will be archived on the Progressive Radio Network. The show is hosted by local activist, Carol Brouillet, whose son, Jules Brouillet also served as an intern with the DC National Religious Campaign Against Torture.
Here are some notable statements from the ever growing multitude of individuals and organizations working to end torture... (from the NRCAT press advisory...)
"The terrible detention system at Guantanamo, Bagram and elsewhere devised by the Bush administration has been sustained by President Obama and Congress, while the meager rights won by detained men have failed to secure true due process for them. This course must be reversed, before the United States plunges deeper into the abyss of policies that shock the conscience and savage the law." Jeremy Varon, organizer, Witness Against Torture
"Because the prison stands as an internationally recognized symbol of torture and our nation's failure to respect the basic dignity inherent in all people, Guantanamo Bay does not make us safer but instead inspires those who seek to harm us. It endures as a legacy of a period in which our government put its fears ahead of our values." Rev. Richard Killmer, executive director, National Religious Campaign Against Torture
"President Obama is largely responsible for the failure to close Guantanamo, and his administration should not take its progressive base for granted. CCR has represented men at Guantanamo for the last 10 years, and that's 10 years too many. It is unconscionable that there are 89 men being detained who've been cleared for release but are still imprisoned solely for political reasons. Guantanamo is one part of an illegal, inhumane, and unjust global detention policy. Our message: ''No excuses, shut it down.'" Vincent Warren, executive director, Center for Constitutional Rights
"January 11th marks the tenth anniversary of the establishment of the detention center in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. In the past decade Gitmo has become established alongside segregation, the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II and McCarthyism as an indelible stain on America's global reputation. Yet the status quo persists and scores of detainees are still trapped in the limbo of indefinite detention with no opportunity to challenge the circumstances of their incarceration or regain their freedom. On this shameful anniversary Amnesty International members and other activists will gather in Washington, D.C. to remind the world that the Obama administration did not deliver the change it promised on the campaign trial and to show that not all Americans take as sanguine a view of that failure as apparently does President Obama himself." Tom Parker, policy director for terrorism, counterterrorism and human rights, Amnesty International USA
"Our government's failure to even consider accountability for human rights abuses by U.S. officials undermines the international human rights framework our nation once helped erect and America's world-historical victory in WWII. But that's not all: executive impunity for torture also de-legitimates our criminal justice system -- which relentlessly prosecutes powerless people en masse for vastly less severe crimes -- and our continuing efforts to address violent extremism abroad." Shahid Buttar, executive director, Bill of Rights Defense Committee
"The Quaker Initiative to End Torture- QUIT is the spiritual work of Quakers to end the policy and practice of torture." John Calvi, founding convener, Quaker Initiative to End Torture (QUIT)
"From our nation's founding until the past decade, the United States proudly distinguished itself from human-rights abusing nations that engaged in kidnappings, disappearances, and torture. Now, tragically, our young people have grown up in a nation that has sunk to that immoral level." Rocky Anderson, executive director, High Road for Human Rights
"Lawless imprisonment has been formalized and 'legalized,' and the imprisoned population increased despite the turn to assassinations. The torturers are on self-congratulatory book tours, and the private contractors are buying their second yachts. And pundits wonder why we're in the streets?" David Swanson, co-founder, WarIsACrime.org
"The 2,771 detainees still at Guantanamo and Bagram represent all that is wrong--morally and legally--with the war on terror our government loosed on the world after 9/11." Debra Sweet, national director, World Can't Wait "The City of Berkeley adopted Resolution NO. 65,491-N.S. on October 25, 2011 supporting the closure of Guantanamo, and urging that Congress and Homeland Security remove the bans on the movement of cleared detainees to the United States. The resolution was sent to President Obama, Attorney General Holder, Senator Feinstein, Senator Boxer, and Congresswoman Barbara Lee, with copies to endorsers Amnesty International USA and Dominican School of Theology & Philosophy, and also to U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay." Rita Maran, vice-president for advocacy, United Nations Association-USA East Bay Chapter
"North Carolina Stop Torture Now has worked since 2005 for a public investigation and accountability for North Carolina's role in providing planes and pilots for the CIA's extraordinary rendition program. On January 19, 2012, NCSTN will announce new North Carolina initiatives to get the truth about our state's involvement out in the open." Christina Cowger, member, N.C. Stop Torture Now
"Appeal for Justice is a human rights law practice. It represents 18 Guantanamo detainees. None of them have been charged with an offense, and their detention violates the Constitution and international law. This decade-old mockery of justice must end." David H. Remes, founder, Appeal for Justice
"All human life--friend or enemy--is created in the image of God. Guantanamo is an ongoing symbol of the torture and violation of t'zelem elohim, the Divine image. Candidate Obama often involved tikkun olam, the Jewish value of repairing a broken world and on his second day in office, he took a step towards that kind of repairing by ordering Guantanamo closed. But that promise of repair remains unfulfilled. It is time for him to truly bring repair to a broken world and close the military prison at Guantanamo Bay." Rabbi Rachel Kahn-Troster, director of North American programs, Rabbis for Human Rights-North America "It is time to close Guantanamo, which has become a place to hold human beings indefinitely, without charge or trial and with no end in sight. As PHR has reported, medical evidence demonstrates that indefinite detention can cause lasting harmful physical and psychological damage that may rise to torture and cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment. Close Guantanamo and stop this illegal and immoral practice." Kristine A. Huskey, director, anti-torture program, Physicians for Human Rights
"America bears a festering ten-year-old wound called Guantanamo. Close it, try the prisoners in fair federal trials, and redeem our Constitution and our sense of justice in the names of those we lost on 9/11." Valerie Lucznikowska, organizer, September Eleventh Families for Peaceful Tomorrows
"As followers of Christ we know very well how the innocent are treated by the empire: suspected and tried unfairly, and often tortured and killed as an example to those who imagine a better world. Pax Christi USA rejects the 'security' that our government has enforced through torture, indefinite detentions, and sham military trials over the past decade, and urges the President to keep his long-neglected promise to close Guantanamo Bay detention center." Sister Dianna Ortiz, OSU, director, internship program, Pax Christi USA
"The tenth anniversary of the U.S. prison facilities at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, serves as a grave reminder of the existence of U.S. prison facilities at Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan, and elsewhere, that are still beyond the reach of the law. No prison beyond the law is worth the cost to innocent lives, to taxpayers, to our national security, and to our standing in the world." Tina Foster, member, International Justice Network

I just saw Iron Man 2, and they have two scenes with autographs being signed.

Finally, a secret revealed:
In case you have wondered where this place is - this image that makes up half of the masthead of Pacific Dreams, New York Life - here is the original photograph I took.
It is a view of the Nā Pali Coast of Northwest Kauaʻi in the Hawaiian Islands.
Incredibly, today marks exactly one year since my very first blog post at Pacific Dreams, New York Life. It was called "Hawaiian food, New York groceries" and described my futile attempt to make a meal of lomilomi salmon, poi, and haupia here in NYC - without the right ingredients, and more importantly, without any idea what I was getting myself into!
That meal ended up a disaster, but this blog did not. With this blog I have been able to "meet" and learn from scores of other scholars across this so-called blogosphere. I have received feedback from readers all across Oceania, from Australia, to New Zealand, to American Samoa, to Hawaiʻi, to California and the U.S. West where I've heard from a number of Pacific Islander Americans. The greatest joys of blogging are when I hear from you, dear readers, about how you agree or disagree with what I say. I have learned so much from you. Mahalo nui to you.
As my one-year anniversary post, I want to use this platform today as a shout-out for all the other online presences in Pacific history and/or Environmental history and/or "Other/Grab-bag" that I am influenced by. But before I turn to that, I want to sum up what I have covered so far in one year of blogging at Pacific Dreams, New York Life:
Pacific History, New York Blog
My first post, as I said, was all about food. That's because I missed the taste of poi so much! At that time I was working on writing "Boki's Predicament," an academic article about the history of Hawaiian sandalwood; thus, sandalwood creeped into my blog as well. Off the bat, I also considered reviewing films as an excellent use of this blog. My first film review concerned a film about Tongan history, and in retrospect was poorly thought out. I have written more about Tonga in an entry for a forthcoming Encyclopedia, but for now that one post on Tonga will have to tread water until I can post up something better about that fascinating nation. I also considered reviewing museums on this blog, and I have reviewed at least four Pacific artifact collections to date. Beyond the museums, I am interested in visual representations of Pacific Island peoples, places, and processes, and my "Representations" series is an example of that, focusing on works of art and attempting to see the history behind the canvas. When working on my biography of Boki, I became really interested in material culture, and that goes along with my intense focus on museums and art as well.
Last summer I worked for the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation and got to thinking about parks, a topic that has been extensively thought about within the field of environmental history. My supervisor Mohammed - although he may not have realized it at the time, as I did not - seriously got me thinking about birds. From viewing the Bronx's birds last summer somehow I've gotten to my new project on Pacific seabirds in the mid-nineteenth-century, as I attempt to weave the stories of these birds into the history of U.S. guano extraction and empire in the Pacific Ocean. I also read a lot of good literature over the summer, giving myself a self-taught education, as best I could, in the field of Pacific Island literature. I have reviewed a number of novels and plays in this forum. If I wasn't working on guano and seabirds, I was going to spend this semester researching Hawaiian labor in the American whaling industry; therefore, I've written a bit about whales here, as well as the experiences of Pacific Islanders in their nineteenth-century laboring diaspora. Some of those laborers made the transition into being Pacific Islander Americans. There are great stories of Pacific Islander migration to be told here, some of which I am beginning to attempt to reveal through my analysis of Hawaiian labor on "guano islands."
I easily get obsessed with all things Hawaiʻi (I have more posts tagged with "Hawaiʻi" than any other keyword), but I have also made a point to focus this blog elsewhere across the Pacific. To that end, I have also written about the Māori of Aotearoa (New Zealand), about Samoa and Samoans, and single posts on the Marquesas Islands, and on Rapa Nui (Easter Island), and, of course, Tonga, too. You can tell I am "Polynesia"-centric in my approach to Pacific history; this I both celebrate and regret for its simultaneous advantages and disadvantages. Although I've wanted to learn more about Pacific environmental history, I've discovered that there is so much important ground to cover in Pacific history by also thinking with nineteenth-century ideas about, and conceptions of, race and gender. As this blog began concurrently with the beginnings of the 2010 U.S. census, I have written a bit about demography, too, and perhaps will write more when the Pacific Islander American data from 2010 is processed and published, hopefully within the next year.
And finally, this blog was supposed to be about combining Pacific pasts with the New York present, and through museums, and through migrations and diasporas, - and even through my own research and learning processes - I hope that I have revealed at least some of the many Pacific-NYC connections that may exist, both historically and/or today. And so I have written a number of posts about New York City, about NYC's waste problem, and about how NYC sometimes appears more like a pineapple than an apple to me. As I prepare for my summer course on Pacific history, HIS 340-J, at Stony Brook University this July-August, I intend to write more about how that class unfolds here in this forum. Finally, I continue taking my Hawaiian language lessons, I have had nothing to say about agriculture since my first post on the subject(!), and, to fit in my last remaining keyword, I am, like all of you, deeply upset by the nuclear disaster unfolding in Japan. In the 1950s and 1960s the U.S. government exposed various Pacific Islander nations to extremely high levels of radiation through the "testing" of nuclear weapons all across, above, and beneath the surface of the great Pacific Ocean. Perhaps, in thinking about our global nuclear past, my older post on this subject might hold new relevance.
Pacific Podcasts, New York Blogs (And other cool stuff online!)
Blogs: I began Pacific Dreams, New York Life after waking from a dream sometime last March. I had dreamed that I maintained my own blog. I had never even really thought much about blogging, but at the ASEH conference in Portland, Oregon, I met Anna Zeide, a graduate student in environmental history at U of Wisconsin-Madison, and I soon discovered her delightful blog Madison in June. Now she keeps another blog full of really smart, critical thinking about cooking, eating, and our whole American culture of food; it is called Dining and Opining. Anna is working on her dissertation on the history of canned food; she is really smart, thoughtful, and above all else, always seems to have her two feet on the ground. Thanks for the inspiration, Anna!
At that same meeting I also met Colin Tyner, a PhD candidate at the University of California-Santa Cruz, but who, for the past year at least, has been living and teaching in Japan. His interests are in Japanese environmental history - and he also holds a place in his heart for Pacific history. He maintains a really thoughtful blog at Colin Tyner, the Labour of Nature, and Island Life.
Beth Montgomery, an author in Australia, maintains a blog Island Stories about Pacific Island literature, especially young adult fiction. I must also shout-out to hamogeekgirl, a young Samoan writer living in Aotearoa (NZ) who maintains the blog Samoan Like Me, which follows her process of self-discovery as she looks deeper into what it means for her to be "Samoan." I have really enjoyed many notes sent back and forth with her, and hope that she continues to blog. (And in the meantime, a shout-out to FreshyNZ, also from Aotearoa, who has similarly shared much wisdom with me about Samoan history, language, culture, and society.)
There are many other great blogs out there; I encourage you to check out my "blogroll" and to also share with me any other blogs that you think I would be interested in.
Podcasts: Maybe I'm a geek, but I love listening to podcasts on my computer late at night when I can't sleep! :) Here are some of my favorites:
In environmental history, Jan Oosthoek's Exploring Environmental History has been so influential, not only for me as a young scholar in the field but for many others too. This is where I heard about Colin Tyner's blog for example, for he was interviewed by Mr. Oosthoek on a recent episode of the program. He has also come out with a newer podcast, Histories of Environmental Change. And from NICHE in Canada, there is the podcast Nature's Past, hosted by Sean Kheraj.
In American history more generally, no podcast is more entertaining that BackStory with the American History Guys, Peter Onuf, Ed Ayers, and Brian Balogh. Each month they cover a topic in American history and look at it through the windows of eighteenth-, nineteenth-, and twentieth-century perspectives. More locally, for NYC history there is no better than The Bowery Boys: very delightful, humorous, in-depth tours of important people, places, buildings, and events in NYC history. Finally, Nate DiMeo's The Memory Palace uses a more "story-telling" approach to really intriguing anecdotes in (mostly) American history. On my last busride from Albany to NYC I listened to a handful of these podcasts and really enjoyed them!
Finally, on Pacific topics I have found few podcast series that I really enjoy. From Seattle, I have really enjoyed Rochelle DelaCruz's Hawaiʻi Ways, short little vignettes about her experiences as a Hawaiian immigrant living in the Pacific Northwest. Unfortunately it appears that she has just recently stopped producing episodes, but there are over a hundred old ones to listen to! For Pacific Island news, I have tried following Pacific Beat from Radio Australia, but I just don't have the time in the day to follow that much content on a daily basis. So if anyone knows of more weekly or even monthly approaches to important Pacific Island news and events, please let me know!
Video: Finally, my Hawaiian language teacher was kind enough to point out to me that Native Hawaiians in Hawaiʻi have recently begun their own online television station. It is called ʻŌiwi TV, and it is really amazing! Ever since the 1970s Hawaiian Renaissance, ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi has been making its pronounced comeback as a viable language for use by the Hawaiian nation. But knowing the power of television media for influencing language use, especially among young kids, how can lāhui Hawaiʻi really bring their ancestral language back to prominence against this great tide of English language media out there? ʻŌiwi TV seems to be a very viable solution. There is a news program in both English and Hawaiian called ʻĀhaʻi ʻŌlelo Ola. And beyond that, there is access to Hawaiian-language children's programming, including cartoons! There are also many short films to watch. I have only just begun to explore this site, but it seems to hold so much promise.
I guess that is all this one anniversary post can hold. Blogging has helped me learn so much from so many people about so many different things - and this sharing is really so different than what takes place in academia. It is a different type of sharing...perhaps just as valuable, if not more so, than the official "discourses" going on within academic journals and conferences.
Much love! and Happy Spring!

How big is too big for West Seattle? Intracorp Admiral project remains stubbornly large in Design Review
Is a set of buildings proposed for 3210 California Ave. S.W. simply too big and out of character for West Seattle?
The three primary buildings would fill 430 feet of a 477 foot long and 100 foot wide space south of the Admiral Junction and stand nearly 60 feet high. It's already been through a set of four design review meetings and is headed for one more with the Southwest Design Review Board. It would contain 143 apartments, 6 live/work units, have parking for 168 cars, have 4220 square feet of commercial space. The project would require 15,000 cubic yards of grading. The existing structures would be demolished.
In the latest review of the design developed by NK Architects for Intracorp held Thurs. Feb. 6, the planning team heard from both the public and from the Review Board. The public comment essentially boiled down to the objection that such a large project is out of character and scale with the neighborhood. The board was a little more modulated asking the designers to come back again and address specific issues that they apparently had failed to address previously.
This was the third design review meeting, and fourth in total.
The board had asked the architects to deal with a range of issues from "streetscape compatibility" to "height, bulk, and scale" issues to the use of materials.
Boyd Pickerell of NK Architects and Andy Rasmussen of Weisman Design group spoke for the design team and reviewed the updates made since the last meeting. But the changes, while substantial, didn't satisfy the people in attendance or the complete board.
They described changes in "parapets and brow structures" in which the overall height of the building was changed but only by less than 2 feet. They spoke about attempting to create changes in the building massing to provide a stronger appearance of three different buildings and through the use of different materials and structures create a different pedestrian experience.
Their efforts were not widely appreciated since most of the changes made to the building from its first design review appeared to be largely cosmetic.
Deb Barker may have expressed the opinion of many. As a previous board member she described voting on a project after hearing from the community and getting the developer to "change the footprint" and "they moved the building away from the residential, they addressed things, they changed their product."
Moving on to the current project Barker said, "3210 is your fourth opportunity to see the height, bulk and scale. You've asked for three different buildings. You've got about a '24ish' foot wide building separation. You've asked for a sky bridge between the buildings, which I said at the first meeting that I hated and I still hate the sky bridge. I think it is the most elitist definition of building separation that I've ever heard of and you can make it invisible, there's lots of ways to do it but it should, to be invisible, go away. Actually it creates the appearance of two buildings from the east side... You've got a building that's 15 feet over the 40 foot height that was approved in the re-zone plus the elevator blocks that are even taller. You asked each time for them to address height, bulk and scale of this project and what have they come up with? Some departures and some rooftop penthouses. They've tweaked the garages and the retail entrances, so no wonder you are tired of seeing the same thing over and over and over and over. The developer probably isn't going to give an inch. They've got time, they're going to wait you out, wait till the board changes, get some new folks in here. They have time, they have money and they have the site, probably the whole block across the street tied up. They will wait you out. So what are you going to do? I think you're going to have to do it for them. Tell them to quit wasting your time and come back only when they have adequately addressed B-1 (Height, bulk and scale in a single family zone). Or you can maybe tonight get it over with and approve this project with three floors of residential and one floor of commercial. That meets B-1. B-1 is really helpful when you have extenuating circumstances... It was up zoned. There's no alley separation. This site backs up to the residential uses that are RS-5 zoned (single family dwellings). Six parcels are assembled. To me, those seem like extenuating circumstances. B-1 was made to address things like that. You haven't seen any changes to the height bulk and scale since this project came before you and I'm really disappointed for you because I have had that experience of seeing the developer actually change the product, in front of our eyes to address concerns and it felt great. I hope you get that experience sometime but in the meantime I say go ahead and approve this project three residential floors and one commercial floor, no departures. Please lose the skybridge and you'll have done the right thing."
Others rose to echo concerns about the building being out of character for the neighborhood due to its size. Neighbor Chris Castor said, "This whole process was brought about to bring about responsible and appropriate growth and this, it's not just the height, it's the extremely long length. It's the mass of this that I think is so horribly out of proportion with this neighborhood. The largest development we've had is the Safeway development. That mixed use property. That's in the center of the Admiral hub there. This thing is worse than that and it's over in the single family part of town. There are three story residential buildings but thing is ludicrous. I think if you live anywhere in the Admiral District you would fight this vehemently, it's ridiculous."
Concern about garage exits on Hanford, with such close proximity to both West Seattle High School and Lafayette Elementary was expressed and board members said those issues had previously been addressed but that the traffic pattern was something SDOT would have jurisdiction over.
A commenter noted that if this building is approved, it will, "set a precedent for the other core areas of West Seattle. I don't want to see this building in the Admiral District, I don't want to see it go into the junction, it's just too big for West Seattle."
Greg Janssen, co-owner of West Seattle Natural Medicine to the south of the proposed building said, "I've gone through the Admiral Urban Village design guidelines and I don't see how this building fits within the design guidelines. There's a stretch to connect it to the core of the Admiral business district. The high school is separating it from it. If it's going to exist it needs to have stronger retail not quiet retail. It needs to almost anchor itself as a commercial area. The other issue is that it seems strange to me to have a future development used to legitimize this development when we know the same company has plans for developing across the street. This does set a precedent for the neighborhood. I don't live on the east side and I know a lot of people have issues but I'm more concerned, as someone who lives in West Seattle, going down California and having 75 foot building coming up from the sidewalk. The other practical issue I have is there's no alleyway and which garage entrance is going to contain the garbage, recycle and solid waste utilities. One's at a grade going down and one's at a slope coming down... So how is solid waste going to be moved out of that building?"
Paul Davis, a neighbor to the east of the project also said the project is "incompatible with the neighborhood" due to it's currently designed size. "This project is a huge scale." Davis read part of the Admiral Neighborhood plan, "The height bulk and scale is to be addressed during the design review process that goes on a site after rezone. The height bulk and scale impact of one additional story are not expected to block air and light or adversely impact the community. Now we have two extra stories. There's nothing in the rezone that talks about two extra stories." Davis went on to cite numerous omissions in the proposal at this stage including no mention of actual heights or dimensions, no mention of being "15 foot above average grade," no analysis of blocking views for homes on 41st Ave. S.W. and Walnut Street with the building rising to a 20 foot higher grade than those homes. He noted that the example used as a comparable structure was "The Prescott Apartments in Wallingford." He noted that the top floor setback is 50% and the average building setback is 75 feet. "In their mission statement they say they are to be ever responsive to the diversity of the neighborhood, let's make them prove it."
Bill Gohde said, "This is the first time I've seen this project and quite frankly I'm stunned...I'm thinking is this something that I would be proud of. Is this something I would bring people to see and say 'You want to see a great building? Take a look at this' and I can't....Is this the best we can expect here in West Seattle? Would this be in Wallingford? Would this be in Madison Park? No.
Would this be in Queen Anne? No. But we have it here in West Seattle. Why is that? Are we easy?...I'm really, really sad."
For their part the board said changes needed to be made to the plan.
They noted that the building was in fact "out of scale with the rest of the community" but that getting a bigger building separation was "a big ask". "When we saw this our main concern was that it was 430 feet long. Right now when I look it, it's still one gigantic 430 foot long building. I don't think putting a 50 or 60 foot gap between the buildings is going to do it. I really think it's overkill."
It was suggested that eliminating one floor of the building would help.
They summed it up by noting that were still not in agreement as to what to suggest regarding building massing, with some suggesting elimination of a whole floor on the northern most building, though setting back the upper floor might get more agreement... They asked for some greater differentiation on the middle building, with less "hardy plank" and more brick and the possible elimination of the "skybridge" between the middle and southern building.
Another meeting will follow but was not announced and has not yet been scheduled.

My Ride: 2000 323i
Power Steering line how to replace looks glued
I have a 2000 323I and we had a free inspection coupon for a local dealer. We took in the car and they found a power steering hose leak. It is very small. They said it looks to be from the line from the reservoir to the pump. Looking at the car I do not see any clips holding the line. From searching I have read posts about lines being glued.
I am wondering what I cannot find in my search is how do I replace the line? I am not sure how to get the old line off and get the new line attached. I am not sure if some black RTV sealant would work for not.
In searching I did find posts about the pump leaking because of a large rubber seal. Is this something I should replace when I have the car torn down all ready?

I also had a P/S leak which manifested itself with leaks running down those two hoses that come from the reservoir. I just replaced them both a couple weeks ago and it's not too hard. Neither of them involve removing any banjo bolts ...which is not necessarily that difficult but it can cause some complications so I figured I'd mention it.
One hose goes down to the pump where it connects via hose clamp. In fact, both ends of that hose use hose clamps. The other, smaller hose goes from the reservoir towards the front of the vehicle down beside the radiator expansion tank. It uses a hose clamp at the reservoir and a quick connect fitting at the other end. So, to replace these two hoses, you'll probably want to get three new clamps. I want to say that the smaller hose is like 3/4" outer diameter though I'm not sure. The other bigger hose which takes two clamps is maybe 1". Please verify or get a small assortment of different sized worm screw type hose clamps.
First remove the airbox and then remove as much fluid from the reservoir as you can (turkey baster is a popular solution especially since it's November). Then, loosen the clamp (10mm bolt) which will allow you to lift out the reservoir. But first, you'll want to disconnect the other ends of each hose. You'll access the bigger one that goes to the pump from underneath the vehicle. You'll need to remove the bottom engine cover to get to it. Then, at the bottom-back of the power steering pump, you'll see the hose attached. Can't remember if this is a worm screw type or pinch clamp. Anyways, remove it, twist off hose and be ready to drain the fluid into a container.
The other hose that has the quick connect (call it...PITA-disconnect) down by the expansion tank. To remove these you have to sort of push in (towards the front of the car) on the hose itself while at the same time pulling back on the plastic fitting on the end in order to disconnect it. I found that the trick to pulling back on the plastic part is to use either some ordinary pliers or an open end wrench. Slip either of them around the end which allow you to apply approximately equal pressure on the face of the plastic fitting to pull it back. It's a little awkward but, since you obviously will have already bought the new hose with this fitting, you can inspect the new one and play around with it to see how this action works.
Again, be prepared for some fluid to leak out. With both hoses disconnected and the reservoir loosened, you can take it all out together. Then, once you've got it out, it will be easier to go about removing the hoses from the bottom of the reservoir. Then, install the new hoses and replace it all being careful to snake the bigger hose back down the same route as the old one went.
There are some other instructions here about filling the reservoir so I won't go into that. But basically, fill reservoir, start engine and run for a minute and then re-check level and top off.

All I can say is "why didn't I get one sooner"?
Right rear pocket, 5-7 days per week. I switched my wallet to the left rear, and I can't tell the difference. Dress slacks, shorts, jeans...
Start the day: Keys, wallet, cell phone, Kel-Tec, cash... I'm ready.
I still carry an XD on my hip when I can, but I ALWAYS have the Kel-Tec.
Range report:
- 3-4" groups at 7M all day long.
- Armalaser stays on target sitting on it all day.
- 5-shots, 3 seconds, 6" at 7M. Fast follow-ups w/ the laser are easy. Without.. hard.
- 250+ rounds down the pipe... ZERO failures.
- 108 lb wife, Carla, loves to shoot it! Recoil is fine...
I think it was $265?? $280??? and $159 for the laser. And $6 for the Uncle Mikes Pocket Holster... I'd buy it today for $600.
If you have a CC permit, you should own one. Best $300 you can spend.
Simply the best

"A classy looking card. I ordered the modified rectangular envelopes so I wouldn't have to pay extra postage and was very pleased with the result, and the cards came several days earlier than expected."
"clean design, easy to insert my new home information, and delivery was FAST. very pleased. Quality is great and would definitely order again."
"I love the way these turned out. simple, clear, easy to read. I was a bit nervous as one review I saw said there was a problem with the envelopes. Mine were fine. I got the rectangular style and the cards fit perfect. I have gotten several compliments on the cards."
"I really liked the product. It looked just like the picture, no surprises. I was very happy with the cards. The envelopes were another story. When the box arrived, the majority of the envelopes were sealed on one side. I had to pull them apart which caused some ripping. It looked terrible. For the money I paid, I should not have had that problem."
"I loved the overall appearance of this card and my recipient's thought it was perfect. The design, printing, envelopes - the whole package - was exactly what I was looking for. My aunt called and told me it was "classy"."

I was waiting at the Front Desk to ask if this was the REAL Caesars Palace. #Hangover Just in the lobby at Caesars Palace...this place is HUGE. What are you pointing at...?
