[Rating: 2.5/5]
By Willie Krischke — June 9, 2009
There are moments when it is almost impossible to believe that "Anvil" is not a mockumentary. It feels enough like an alt-universe sequel to "This is Spinal Tap" to make your head spin. There's even a guy named Rob(b) Reiner involved. Weird.
This is the story of a mostly unsuccessful heavy/hair metal band. Helmed by vocalist "Lips" and drummer Reiner, they've gone through countless lineups over thirty years, and are still looking for their big break. They still think that one of these days, some record label's going to realize how great they are, and make them stars. Or are they joking? I can't really tell.
It helps that the documentary opens with testimonies from some pretty big names in hair metal to the quality and artistry of Anvil. Guys from Slayer, Motely Crue, and even Twisted Sister talk about being influenced by this little band called Anvil, and marvel that they never got any bigger. Anvil had respect and chops at one point in time; they just seem unaware that the musical landscape–even the heavy metal landscape–has changed since then. One wants to slip them a Korn or Tool album, just as an act of mercy.
The documentary follows them through all their exercises in futility, from a terrible European tour (where most of the concerts are attended by audiences of dozens) to the development of their thirteenth album, "the best one ever." Lips is zealous and manic; he reminds of me of the weird old guys who always hang around poetry slams and open mics. He's funny for a while, but then you kind of want him to go away or shut up. His sidekick Reiner is more down to earth, but that makes you wonder all the more why the guy is still pursuing fame in a hair metal band.
You would think, after thirty years of futility, the guys would learn lessons about doing what you love and not caring who cares. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of musicians touring this country and making great music, and a tiny few of them ever get famous. Most make just enough to live on. They do it because they love it, and gave up on fame and fortune years ago. Not Anvil. They clearly love what they're doing, but they also love, and refuse to give up, their dream of being rock stars, of playing in front of thousands, of the groupies and the orgies and the VH1 specials. It's kind of sad. It's also kind of funny.

Support Ending Chronic Homelessness in Washington DC
On any given day, there are more than 2,000 chronically homeless individuals living on the streets of Washington, DC. These individuals have been homeless for more than a year, or at least three times in the last four years. They are also living with disabling physical and mental health issues.
And while there are a thousand different reasons these individuals became homeless, there are very few ways out.
There is hope though, and we now know the solution.
The most cost-effective and successful way out of chronic homelessness is permanent supportive housing.
Permanent supportive housing is housing that is permanent with support services attached, and is critical for those who are chronically homeless.
Those support services include things like help obtaining and maintaining benefits, finding and keeping employment, and accessing health, mental health and addiction treatment services.
Why is permanent supportive housing the solution?
Imagine how tough it would be to accomplish your goals if you always had to worry about where you were going to get your next meal or lay your head down at night. Chronically homeless individuals don't necessarily have different problems than any of us do, it's just harder to work on them while living on the street.
We know that permanent supportive housing works. Washington, DC has the highest permanent supportive housing retention rate in the country (at 94%) and we've seen great improvements from the people who are currently in permanent supportive housing.
That's why permanent supportive housing is the solution.
Speak up today and send a message to Washington, DC that permanent supportive housing is critical.
You can help end chronic homelessness in our Nation's Capital.
Permanent supportive housing gives people the opportunity to work on their issues while in a safe space. The homeless in DC don't necessarily have different problems the rest of us, it's just harder to work on them while living on the street.
I imagine how tough it would be to accomplish goals if you always had to worry about where you were going to get your next meal or lay your head down at night.
I support Miriam Kitchen's permanent housing initiative, and I want to help be part of the solution.
Miriam's Kitchen started this pledge with a single signature, and now has 2,623 supporters. Start a petition today to change something you care about.

TDE Beefs With GQ Magazine?
The CEO of Top Dawg Entertainment, Anthony Tiffith prevented Kendrick Lamar from performing at GQ's "Man of The Year" party on (Nov 12) because of the offensive article about the label. Mr. Tiffith didn't feel that the cover story on Kendrick Lamar accurately depicted his artist or the company.
Anthony Tiffith's statement in regard to his decision to pull Kendrick from the "Man of The Year party"...
"To say he was 'surprised at our discipline' is completely disrespectful ... Kendrick deserved to be accurately documented. The racial overtones immediately reminded everyone of a time in hip-hop that was destroyed by violence, resulting in the loss of two of our biggest stars [Tupac and B.I.G.] ... As a result of this misrepresentation, I pulled Kendrick from his performance at GQ's annual Man Of The Year party."
The edtior-in-chief of GQ, Jim Nelson didn't take back any of what was written in the cover story. In fact, his statement maintains that the story spoke positively of Kendrick.
"Kendrick Lamar is one of the most talented new musicians to arrive on the scene in years. That's the reason we chose to celebrate him, wrote an incredibly positive article declaring him the next King of Rap, and gave him our highest honor: putting him on the cover of our Men of the Year issue. I'm not sure how you can spin that into a bad thing, and I encourage anyone interested to read the story and see for themselves. We were mystified and sorely disappointed by Top Dawg's decision to pull him at the last minute from the performance he had promised to give. The real shame is that people were deprived of the joy of seeing Kendrick perform live. I'm still a huge fan."—Jim Nelson, GQ editor-in-chief."

unfortunatly it is not easy to get that information. The reason is I
think that the visual representation of the Button lives in the
frontend, so the kernel has no idea of what sizes it may have. Only for
objects like notebooks, where the kernel has a handle to the actual
object you can use AbsoluteOptions the way you did.
> If there is a better way, please teach me. Thanks
for controls like Button there is only one way I know to get the
information you want: you need to Rasterize it, which gives you a
Graphics-Object, which you can then ask for its ImageSize in the usual way.
bt = Button["Click Here", Print[10!]];
Options[Rasterize[bt], ImageSize]
This also works for other things that are formatted by the Frontend like
Grid for example:
grid = Grid[RandomInteger[{0, 200}, {2, 8}], Dividers -> All]
Options[Rasterize[grid], ImageSize]

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
shower was awesome! more english channels on tv would help - but this is very minorgood but a hair dryer would be useful - apart from that perfect
Hotel was excellent value and ideal location to explore WW1 Thiepval sites. Also close to Albert town with its museums.
Nice staff, decent breakfast
Staff were attentive and spoke English which is good for those of us with a spattering of Franglaise. As it was a relatively new hotel it was modern and clean with all new fittings. Rooms good and bathroom modules a good idea. Enjoyed the food (dinner and Breakfast). Location good for battlefield touring (reason for visit). Good access. From the outside it looks fairly basic but inside all was to our liking. Would recommend this as a place to stay for anyone wanting a similar base for battlefield touring. No dislikes
The hotel was clean and the staff were lovely and friendly. Location was easy to find (albeit quite a way out of town) but plenty of parking available and a restaurant and bar downstairs.
Perfect location for our needs and very well laid out. I would have liked more armchairs to sit relax after meal - a lounge area.
Location Food in the cafe was cold and staff were under pressure. All of which was well below that expected at an hotel of that star rating
The staff were all extremely friendly - an essential ingredient to a successful hotel - bar/restaurant clean and more than adequate (plus free wi-fi another 'essential'.
We had a warm welcome. The hotel is perfectly placed for visits to the area of the First World War battlefields and the beautiful countryside of the Somme. Good size bedroom, and good dinner in nice traditional restaurant.
Friendliness of owner and staff. Cleanliness of the rooms and situation of hotel excellent. Decoration of bedrooms interesting, wardrobe very floppy didn't risk putting anything in it. Could do with checkin being earlier we were lucky to get see the owner and get in before 6pm which appeared to be when the hotel opened its doors. It was a very cold and wet day which if we had had to wait 2 hours in a car, nothing open in February, it would not have been very comfortable. However we didn't because we saw the owner through the locked door of the hotel and he happily opened up for us.
The location was central and the hotel had it's own unique individuality, a typical French provincial hotel. Would have liked tea/coffee making facility. Our room although clean looked a bit tired in decoration.
We have been staying Albert for the past 10 years, and this was our first time staying at the Hotel De La Paix. It has a nice intimate feel that you do not get from the bigger chain hotels. However it is a ilttle dated but this does not overcome the fact it was a very pleasent place to stay. The Chap in charge is also the chef, en eventhough we spoke different langauges, we were able to still chat and he was very friendly as were the rest of the staff. Food was good, location was good, beds were comfortable. will stay there again. A great base for visiting the Great War Battlefields on the Somme. The only thing I was not happy about was the actual toilet which appeared to be an electronic thingy that made a lot of noise when you flushed it. Also when you had a shower water tended to collect under the sink that youneeded to put a towel under in order to soak it up. These are minor things that do not take away from the fact that we enjoyed our stay and will stay there again.
friendly + helpful staff. Breakfast basic but good. rooms are a bit tatty and in need of renovation.
Good, well maintained, friendly, older property. Located within walking distance of city centre and on main access through Albert. Noise no problem. Friendly helpful staff. Excellent in house restaurant.

ACROSS MISSISSIPPI — Mississippi soybean farmers have started planting in spite of unpredictable spring weather that has brought strong wind and heavy rains to some areas while leaving other regions dry.
About 10 percent to 20 percent of the soybean crop is planted.
"We are a little behind where we would like to be normally because the weather has hampered planting," said Tom Eubank, assistant research and Extension professor at the Mississippi State University Delta Research and Extension Center, where he serves as the soybean weed specialist. "The wind has really played havoc this year with a lot of producers who have been trying to get burndown applications of herbicides applied. There has been a near-constant wind in many areas for the past couple of months.
"The key issue Mississippi soybean growers are facing right now is glyphosate-resistant weeds, and the most concerning of these is pigweed. Glyphosate-resistant pigweed has been documented in 11 Mississippi counties and that number is increasing rapidly. We are encouraging the use of residual herbicides to aid in controlling pigweed, regardless of whether they have resistance or not."
Pigweed is so pervasive that in many cases, it's already emerging when the planter is going through the field.
In addition to battling resistant weeds in the field, soybean farmers have to contend with a recent decline in exports and the allure of higher cotton and corn prices. Exports have been one of the bright spots for most agricultural commodities, but soybean exports the past few weeks have not maintained the fast pace of competing commodities.
On the whole, Mississippi's decrease in soybean acres is more substantial than the national average decrease.
"Soybean acres planted in the United States this year are down about 1 percent, 76.6 million compared to 77.4 million in 2010," said John Michael Riley, agricultural economist with the MSU Extension Service. "But Mississippi is predicted to show a decrease in soybean acres of 7.5 percent with current projections at 1.85 million acres for 2011 versus 2 million in 2010."

Fasting with Holistic Therapies, Ayurvedic Massage and Colon Cleansing
This programme offers a two-week fast on fruit juices and vegetable broth. It includes holistic therapies with herbs, Ayurvedic massage and colon cleansing. During the programme the participants will partake in the daily ashram schedule.
By combining the practice of yoga and fasting the participants experience transformation not only on the physical level but also on the mental, emotional and spiritual levels. Flower essences, yoga and meditation help this process. As toxins are eliminated a new level of physical, mental and spiritual awareness unfolds.
Yoga and meditation are ideal for the spiritual aspirant when purifying through fasting, they are an important aspect of our Fasting and Detoxification Programme. In addition herbs and powders facilitate the removal of toxins from the body. When these poisons are eliminated from our system, negative emotions are also released.
Frank Jensen (Parameshwara)
Frank Jensen (Parameshwara) is the founder-director of the world-renowned Moinhos Velhos Health Retreat in Portugal with many years of experience of conducting fasting and detoxification programs.

Christopher David Lloyd Pack (Narayana) is the course facilitator and has been a staff member at Moinhos Velhos Health Retreat for many years.
Why should I detoxify? Do I need to detoxify?
Why should I detoxify? Do I need to detoxify?
The body is an incredible instrument; it can handle and adjust to most situations. If the body gets overloaded with toxins it gets stressed and we become sick. Toxins are in our food, water, air, they also come as radiation from mobile phones, TVs, computers etc. To help the body restore itself to perfect health we need detoxification of the entire gastro intestinal tract and all organs, especially the liver and the kidneys. With good health we can hope to live life to the full. The Clysmatic (gravity colonic) effectively cleanses the colon. The selected herbs will cleanse the entire gastrointestinal system.
The Clysmatic functions like a gravity colonic. It is comfortable and easy to use. It is used directly on the toilet. Good intestinal hygiene can help keep many diseases away. The Clysmatic is used daily during the fast to facilitate the elimination of hardened deposits in the large intestines, a process which becomes easier whilst fasting, practicing yoga and taking the various supplements. The method is not an enema and is not habit forming.
Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How is your fasting programme different from other programmes?
A: According to the purists, ours is not a real fast, as we take fruit & vegetable juices as well as vegetable broth along with herbs, vitamins, minerals etc. To the purists, fasting means only water. However the Swedish Dr. Ragnar Berg, long our world's foremost authority on nutrition and biochemistry stated. "During fasting, the body burns up and excretes huge amounts of accumulated wastes. We can help this process by drinking alkaline juices instead of water. Juice fasting is therefore the very best form of fasting." Furthermore with the herbs we cleanse the entire gastrointestinal tract, the Clysmatic (a gravity type colonic) cleanses and stimulates the lower intestine, various treatments 5 days a week assures the elimination of toxins and the balancing of your entire system, the sauna cleanses through the skin, and the Yoga and Meditation facilitates the purification of the mind and the spirit. All of this in a most serene and pure setting.
Q: Will I not be terribly hungry, not eating for so many days?
A: No, with all the and juices and broth taken, you will not feel hungry.
Q: Without solid food, will I not become extremely weak?
A: No, you receive direct nutrition with the juices, and in addition to the powders and herbal pills taken to eliminate toxins, you will receive supplements to keep your energy level up. As a matter of fact, after a few days you will probably feel more energetic than you have in ages.
Q: Is this an easy programme?
A: For some people, it is not only easy, it is a joy! People who have fasted before, say it is the easiest fast they ever did.
Q: Will I lose a lot of weight?
A: It depends. If you are too heavy you will definitely lose weight, but if you already are at your optimum weight you will probably not lose too much. It varies from individual to individual. People who are too skinny and afraid of not having regular meals, have experienced that although they lost weight during the detoxifying programme, after the purification they gain weight in all the right places, eating less, because of their new ability to assimilate nutrients.
Q: Will it help me to stop smoking?
A: Absolutely! With the elimination of nicotine toxins from your system, your craving for cigarettes will also end. We know of no programme more effective in breaking the habit.
Q: Will I have a healing crisis?
A: Very unlikely, although each person is different. It appears that the effective elimination of toxins as the body begins to detoxify is instrumental in avoiding a healing crisis.
Q: Will fasting cure my... (migraine, allergy, cancer, etc)...?
A: Fasting in itself does not cure anything, but it is a means of permitting the resources of the body itself to take over, to effect healing unmatched by any other method.

Initial D8 commit.
Initial release for 7.x-3.x.
This version moves skin support to Skinr and removes support for older versions of IE.
#2340749: Main content doesn't adjust properly with empty sidebars
#2345633: Undefined variable: node_top and node_bottom in node.tpl.php
This is the official release of Fusion for Drupal 7.
Security release for http://drupal.org/node/1507510
Fusion 7.x-2.0-beta2 includes new features for Responsive layouts in conjunction with the Fusion Accelerator module (7.x-2.0-beta1 or later). New sub-themes built with Fusion 7.x-2.0-beta2 (and later) starter themes will automatically support the Responsive features included in Fusion Accelerator.
Includes minor bug fixes and an improvement to handling IE-specific CSS.
Dev release of Fusion 2.0
Initial stable release of Fusion 2.x, using Fusion Accelerator instead of Skinr for applying skin options.
This is a minor change to 6.x-1.11 that properly addresses compatibility with the page_title module. See #1144188: Page Title module not working
First official (alpha) release of Fusion for Drupal 7.
If you are upgrading from a previous Drupal 7 (dev) release, make sure you DELETE ALL FUSION FILES FIRST, because some files have been removed in this release.
Overview of what's new in Drupal 7 themingFull list of Drupal 7 theming changesAn upgrade guide for Fusion themes (only covers earlier changes, more docs coming soon)
Here's an executive summary!
If you're coming from the Drupal 6 version of Fusion, here are the most important things to know about changes in the Drupal 7 version:
- There's no menu variable printed in page.tpl.php for primary (main) and secondary links. Instead there is a Main Menu region that you should place your main menu block within, and you can place your secondary links in any region.
- Superfish is no longer baked into Fusion. Use the Superfish module for the same features and more!
- Some regions that are no longer needed have been removed, and some renamed to match Drupal core
- Skins (via the Skinr module) are implemented in a completely different way now. Here's an example skin: http://skinr.org/example-skin-implementation
- In some places the .inner class has been renamed to .gutter, in order to differentiate between classes that are structural to the grid for adding gutter margins (.gutter) and when there's an .inner wrapper just to help you with styling.
There are still open issues that will be addressed in 1-2 more releases until we have a final release candidate version: http://drupal.org/project/issues/fusion?text=&status=Open&priorities=All...
This release includes various minor bug fixes.

Rampant Games - Whadayamean, Turn-Based?
View Single Post
August 8th, 2013, 16:01
The thing of it is that each approach has its own unique advantages and disadvantages.
Turn-based almost inevitably means more control (and more detail in terms of the tactical arsenal) - and real-time inevitably means less time spent waiting and a more natural flow of gameplay.
It all comes down to what matters most to each individual player.
To some people, turn-based does indeed feel like an eternal borefest - and we have to accept that.
Personally, I tend to enjoy both ways when done well - but I'd probably lean towards turn-based in singleplayer games and real-time in multiplayer games.

NAPERVILLE, Ill. — One one-hundredth of a second was all that separated Augustana senior Alex Rindone (Marmion Academy, Geneva, Ill.) and an NCAA Division III indoor national championship in the 400 meters Saturday. Classmate Greg Patton (Bloomington HS, Bloomington, Ill.) finished eighth in the same event, joining Rindone in earning All-America status. Both also ran on the Augustana 1,600 relay which garnered an eighth-place finish as well.
In the 400, Rindone made up considerable ground on the second of two laps, but crossed the finish line a scant .01 behind Aric Hoeschen of Wisconsin-LaCrosse. Hoeschen, tumbled across the line with a winning time of 48.20, while Rindone's 48.21 set a new school record for the second day in a row. Rindone finished Friday's preliminaries in a then-school record 48.46. Patton, running in section one, finished in 50.48 to claim eighth place.
Less than two hours later, both Rindone and Patton competed, along with sophomores Keith Cline (Byron HS, Byron, Ill.) and David Voland(Batavia HS, Batavia, Ill.), in the 1,600 relay. That quartet finished in 3:18.06 to achieve All-America status as well. Augustana finished tied for 14th in the team standings with 10 points. UW-LaCrosse won the team title with 74 points.

Re-Writing the Goals of Foreign Language Teaching/Learning: The Achievement of Multiple Literacies and "Symbolic Competence"
Foreign language pedagogical models are (yet again!) in a period of transition. For a few decades, Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) reigned supreme among other models, as "communicative competence" was deemed the desired outcome of the language learning process. This is no longer the case. With globalization spreading, learners face increasing demands that go beyond being able to successfully navigate simple face-to-face interactions: They need to engage in critically interpreting all sort of texts, and, ultimately, they need to negotiate their identity in other languages. Accordingly, FL departments in higher education institutions have began rethinking the current models, have already come up with alternative organizing principles, and are slowly proposing alternative curricula. Multiple literacies and advanced foreign language capacities (Kern, 2000; Swaffar and Arens, 2005; Byrnes et al. (eds.), 2006 among others) have become such alternate models/ constructs. In this paper, I will analyze these frameworks: The ways in which they integrate and/or diverge from previous approaches, the likelihood that they 'go mainstream' and the outcomes for learners. I will then consider whether "symbolic competence," a notion proposed by Kramsch (2008), can be thought of as the outcome of these new models.

Earl Thomas Conley – Underrated Country Singers Of The 80s
This Sunday Morning WGNA salutes one of the most underrated country singers of the 1980s. Earl Thomas Conley landed 18 No. 1 records throughout his career with 3 other big songs peaking at No. 2.
The Ohio native gave us a solid batch of hits from 1980-1991, but is most often overlooked for his country contributions. Despite his lack of 'star power,' Earl Thomas Conley's chart topping songs were consistent favorites on 80s Country Radio. Hits like 'Fire & Smoke' 'Your Love's On The Line' 'Holding Her and Loving You' 'Once In A Blue Moon' 'What She Is (Is A Woman In Love)' 'We Believe In Happy Endings' (with Emmylou Harris), 'Brotherly Love' (with Keith Whitley) and 'I Have Loved You Girl (But Not Like This Before)' make up his impressive catalog.
In addition, Earl Thomas Conley was the first country artist to ever appear on the TV show, Soul Train, thanks to a No. 2 duet with Anita Pointer titled 'Too Many Times.' Furthermore, he was the first artist in any genre to land Four Number One singles from the same album, something 80s icons like Michael Jackson, Madonna, Elton John, and Kenny Rogers hadn't yet done. The singles 'Your Love's On The Line' 'Holding Her And Loving You' 'Don't Make It Easy For Me' and 'Angel In Disguise' all hit No. 1 in 1984 from the RCA album Don't Make It Easy For Me.
Earl Thomas Conley took a hiatus from the music business from 1991-1997, but now continues to record and play select dates.

Homemade chicken pluckers
Once we started raising a lot
of our own meat chickens, it quickly became clear that plucking was the
most time-consuming part of the operation. Luckily, there are
several ways to make your own mechanical plucker and expedite
processing day.
Mark is currently
experimenting with a washboard-style
chicken plucker.
The idea is simple --- he installed chicken plucker fingers in the
sides and bottom of a U of plywood (cost --- $20 to $30). You
hand-pluck the difficult wing and tail feathers, then pull the bird
through the plucker a few times, rotating it after each pass. I
was astonished at the efficacy of version 1.0 (even though Mark thought
it needed more work.) Sure, I had to pluck the feathers around
the neck and between the legs after the plucker was done, but I
estimate the washboard plucker saved me about 10 minutes per bird ---
and it doesn't require electricity! I'll keep you posted once
Mark comes up with version 2.0.
Our chicken waterer makes pre-plucking care of your broilers a breeze, providing days' worth of clean water.

Mark was trying to name this invention "Mother Plucker" but I told him it just wouldn't fly....
Comment by Sunday afternoon, November 27th, 2011—
Can't seem to find any more info. Do you have an update on the washboard design? Any more pictures to share? Very interested in this, looks like it might work really well! Thanks in advance.
Comment by Monday evening, January 18th, 2016—
Ananda --- We eventually changed over from the washboard design when we were given a drill-head plucker to try out. The Power Plucker isn't 100%, but definitely cuts our plucking time in half.

The blow-up was a blessing of sorts. Brearley at least got paid – he was owed seven months' work. He left, vowing never to return to China, and it might have been the end of the story.
But less than four years later he was back. He won another design competition and a contract to build Shanghai's Jinqiao Sports Centre, a 20,000 square metre shopping and leisure centre.
His firm
"We found we couldn't get half of what we'd designed actually built," Brearley recalls. "They said: 'We don't have any engineers that know how to do this. For over 40 years we haven't had any timber buildings in China.' "
It was the same with the steel. Brearley had designed big cantilevers – beams anchored at only one end – and thin edges. Local architects, he found, were in the habit of handing over fine design work to a construction company that worked in steel.
"They would be a local construction company that would knock something up that you'd find out the back of Horsham Horse Stables," he says. "It'd be as rough as guts, designed in two minutes flat and built even faster."
Modern Chinese architecture is best known for high technology and fancy structures like the Bird's Nest and the Water Cube, as the National Stadium and National Aquatics Centre were known during the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. The world's second-largest economy has a growing appetite – and the money to pay – for cutting-edge designs by big-name architects and the latest building technologies.
But what it doesn't have in great quantities are skills to design and build the many structures that the country continues to build, despite a much-reported economic slowdown.
The skills shortage is felt hardest at the level of commercial architecture, where the residential and other urban facilities being built now will influence the lives of ordinary people and communities for decades to come.
In making his discovery, Brearley was following a fine tradition. American architect
"It took him five years to suss out the market, do the negotiations, take groups of people to Atlanta, wine and dine them and five years to build," says
Low skill levels aren't just a concern for commercial and residential designers.
Castles in the desert
It's not a uniquely Chinese dilemma. Architects the world over have to match the ambition of a design with the skills of the labour force that will realise them. In China's case, however, rapid growth has overtaken the country's rate of skills development, and architects can struggle to implement the high-end plans their clients want, Hayano says.
In 2005, MAD Architects built a 41,000 square metre museum in Ordos, a city on the edge of the Gobi Desert in Inner Mongolia.(Tellingly, this economy built on speculative financing has imploded, with district governments reportedly borrowing from companies to pay municipal salaries.) While experienced workers can usually be found for nationally significant projects or in large cities like Shanghai, the problems in smaller or remoter areas are acute, Hayano says.
In Ordos, MAD gave up on its original plan that included laying stainless steel plates over a curved structure, with small gaps between plates, as their workers did not have the desired accuracy. Instead, they overlapped the sheets.
"We cannot expect to have fully educated, fully skilled workers on each construction site," Hayano said in an interview with BRW during the National Architecture Conference in May. "If they start very simple, it's OK, but China demands this very advanced geometry and complex projects. This is kind of a contradiction."
The dilemma limits the number of architects who can work in China, as it requires foreign practitioners not just to be good designers, but able to manage Chinese construction contractors and workforce, he says. It's not something everyone can do.
"At the end you have to be very local to apply your experience to a building," says Japan-born Hayano , who started the firm in 2004 with Ma Yansong, who he met while they were working for Zaha Hadid in London, and Dang Qun. "I've met many, many foreign architects coming to China. I know they have lots of experience, they have lots of confidence in their ability as architects, they do really good design, also they really do the management of the construction site, but [their skills are something] we cannot apply in the current Chinese building industry."
MAD in China
It is a lesson Brearley has taken to heart. Despite the early hiccups, he set up an office specialising in public landscape and urban planning in Shanghai in 2001, and now employs 70 people there. China work accounts for 99 per cent of his income. The basics are what matter, he says.
"The big challenges in China aren't about sexy surfaces," Brearley says. "The challenges are about sustainability, building buildings that are sensible. When you build a housing product, you're not building one house, you're building 500 apartments. If you can convince the developer to spend some extra money shading all of those windows, then you've achieved a hell of a lot.We spend a lot of time trying to get these big things right, rather than using innovative new surfaces and materials that probably are not going to be able to be done anyway."
A further challenge is managing developers and public authorities who have less interest in urban design that meets longer-term community needs than in getting bang for their buck.
And then there are the clients
"We have to be very innovative, very strategic, very thoughtful about how it can work perfectly for the developer and have the potential to change and contribute to the city when the time comes," he says.
Brearley gives the example of a new street lined with apartment blocks. Typically set back from the street and fenced off, such designs create high-density cities but prevent life, such as that brought by hawkers and shops, from developing on the streets. Residents are instead forced to travel to dedicated shopping centres. Building street-level spaces for shops would prevent this, but developers frequently reject the idea, as there is little value in street-level shops in a new district. They want to sell the largest number of apartments possible.
Meanwhile, the ultimate client, usually a local government, often also has only a limited understanding of city dynamics. This leaves it up to the architect to build in the flexibility needed later, even in 10 years' time.
"We make the ground-floor apartments and give them a private front yard, with a front fence that touches the street," Brearley says. "The Chinese are very entrepreneurial and as soon as there is the need for a shop, they'll pull down their front fence and start selling things from their apartment."
Building in flexibility
The winner of last year's Pritzker Prize, regarded as the profession's highest honour, was Chinese architect
Wang's victory summed up what China needs, Brearley says. "He builds a horse and cart – but a really great horse and cart! These other architects come and build a Lamborghini, but there are no technicians!"

(CNSNews.com) - The mainstream media and the political process have not given enough attention to "issues of people of color," in the view of Tavis Smiley, the broadcaster who moderated last week's PBS Democratic presidential debate. A conservative black activist in response shot down the notion that some issues are "black issues."
Speaking at the liberal Center for American Progress Friday, Smiley said political dialogue was largely aimed at white Americans and tended to exclude black journalists and issues important to the black community. He called for greater diversity in the political process and said it was "time to start having a national discussion on race."
"The mainstream media has a hard time accepting that we live in the most multicultural, multiracial, and multiethnic America ever," he said.
Smiley was particularly critical of recent presidential debates, which he said had failed to demonstrate racial diversity among their moderators. He cited in particular the debates on CNN which were advertised with pictures of Larry King, Anderson Cooper, John Roberts, and Wolf Blitzer - all white males.
"And then to top it all off, they stole Paula Zahn's timeslot for the debate and she didn't even get to participate," Smiley laughed.
Smiley also accused the media of focusing insufficiently on "issues of people of color" and said there was an effort to "marginalize" topics of discussion that disproportionately affect minorities.
"How do you get this far into the process and, until last night [at the PBS debate], education had not come up?" he wondered. "Or [Hurricane] Katrina? And why hasn't there been more discussion about poverty?"
"There are other issues beyond Iraq to be discussed," he added.
Smiley criticized both Democrats and Republicans, saying that "Republicans ignore the black vote and Democrats take it for granted."
While he conceded that the African-American vote leaned overwhelmingly to Democrats, he said blacks would be wise to hold politicians they support accountable and make their voices heard.
"I hope the Democrats are at risk of losing our vote because then they won't take it for granted," he said.
Also in attendance at Friday's event was Princeton professor Dr. Cornell West, whom Smiley hailed as "either the smartest Negro in America or America's leading public intellectual." West made brief remarks about what he called "continued white supremacy in America."
Smiley's comments came the day after the "All American Presidential Forum" - a debate aired on PBS between the Democratic presidential candidates - which Smiley both organized and moderated. He has scheduled a similar debate in September featuring the Republican candidates, an event he said would be "interesting, to say the least."
The Democrat debate featured questions from an entirely black panel of journalists and several audience members who questioned the candidates on issues such as race, poverty, AIDS, crime and Hurricane Katrina. Neither the war in Iraq nor the immigration crisis was discussed.
The candidates called for a host of new social programs to help African-Americans, including government-funded preschool, childcare, and universal healthcare. They also advocated rolling back President Bush's tax cuts, although only one, Governor Bill Richardson (D-N.M.), said there should be additional tax cuts for the middle class.
Smiley hailed the forum as a great example for minorities to have their voice heard and develop a greater understanding of the issues that matter to them. He said that by the time the weekend was over, it would be the most watched of all the presidential primary debates so far.
'Insulting and elitist'
But not everyone in the black community supported Smiley's contentions.
Mychal Massie, the chairman of Project 21, a black conservative think tank, sharply criticized what he saw as the black community's separation from the rest of the body politic and called for a greater sense of responsibility on the part of black Americans.
"There is a significant, monolithic group in the black community that has, for reasons explicable only to themselves, self-segregated," Massie told Cybercast News Service. "And they do so with a false pride, not realizing that they are condemning themselves to mediocrity and not helping themselves enjoy and take advantage of all that America has to offer."
Massie particularly condemned Smiley's notion of a "black issue," which he called "a canard and an outrage."
"There are not black issues," he said. "The only black issues are the issues of those persons who are black and seek to corrupt and cause differences when there are none."
"[Blacks] should be concerned about owning their own homes and investing in their families as two-parent families," he added. "Those are not black issues, those are American issues."
Massie also criticized the Democratic candidates' emphasis on government programs during the debate. He compared such proposals to "Great Society welfare programs" which he called "a failure for everyone who has entered into them."
"How insufferably insulting and elitist is it for a group of successful, white, elected people to sit around and say they're going to give more handouts to the poor, insufficient black people?" he asked. "People of color should be outraged by such ignorance and insult, and yet they swan over it."

On the quayside a big aerial torpedo had made a crater large enough to bury the horse which it had killed in a near-by stable.
The first person whom they met on the quayside was Mr. Long.
It sits close to the quayside, and is by far the most notable landmark, viewed from either sea or land, which the city possesses.
Hurrying to her squalid deathlair from gay Paris on the quayside I touched his hand.
For Bat, the walk up from the quayside was one of the many milestones in his chequered life.
Every one called him Ogmund Dint, even the boys who played about on the quayside.
Calvados, and dirks, and sharp knives all play their part, and clearly the quayside of Havre is no place after dark.
The business of running in to the quayside was beginning in earnest.
Cargo work on the quayside comes to a halt for want of service.
Many of the trains were run directly to the quayside; in other cases the soldiers marched through the streets.

China Pushes Ahead on Deposit-Insurance Plan
The Program Carries Risks for Both Large and Small Lenders
BEIJING—China is signaling that it is close to insuring a big chunk of its roughly $17 trillion in bank deposits, a key move toward opening up its financial system but one that carries risks for lenders big and small.
The aim is to reassure depositors that their money is safe as the nation moves to allow more competition in the financial system. That could be bad news for China's big state-run banks, which already enjoy the implicit...

Delightful or frightful? ... Sally Hawkins, grinning, in Happy-Go-Lucky.
The critics are generally agreed that this breezy comedy about a primary school teacher with a heart of gold is one of Mike Leigh's best films.
Sally Hawkins' turn as the irrepressible Poppy stands out in a film which features strong characterisation and a bright storyline which nevertheless manages to veer into darker territory at interesting moments.
"Hawkins plays it superbly: exactly right for the part and utterly at ease with a role that is uniquely demanding," writes our own Peter Bradshaw. "In the factory-farmed blandness of the movies, Happy-Go-Lucky has a strong, real taste."
"Those who only know Leigh by his (unfair) reputation as a miserablist might be surprised to find that ultimately, Happy-Go-Lucky is a genuine feelgood film," writes Empire's Dan Jolin. "There's a good chance that you'll wish you could face all life's tribulations Poppy-style. You might even be tempted to give it a go -- after all, there's no 'arm in tryin'."
"Leigh has created another classic, quote-worthy character in line with Brenda Blethyn's Cynthia in Secrets And Lies," says the BBC's Anna Smith. "And this time he'll make you come out with a smile on your face rather than a heavy heart."
But Sky Movies' Rob Daniel reckons Leigh's much-documented eschewing of a traditional script has resulted in a film which "lurches around, grinding gears, and ends up back where it started".
"No amount of forced gaiety can disguise the fact that Leigh hasn't made a really good film since 1993's Naked," he adds.
How about you? Did Happy-Go-Lucky leave you with a spring in your step? Or did two hours in Poppy's company drive you round the bend?

Dartmouth Figure Skating Team
2004 - 2008 U.S. National Intercollegiate Figure Skating Team Champions
Awards, Honors, & Community
Milton Sims Kramer '54 Group Award – In the spring of 2005, Dean Larimore honored the Team with the Milton Sims Kramer '54 Group Award. It is presented to only one group on campus who contributes significantly to the College and represents "all that is Dartmouth".
United Way of the Upper Valley – In the fall of 2004, the Team helped the United Way thank the community for their generosity toward the United Way. The Team presented its first exhibition in Thompson Arena, followed by a family skate where all were invited to bring their skates and skate with the Team. Dartmouth President Jim Wright and his wife Susan attended the event (without their skates)! In the spring of 2006, the Team presented another exhibition and family skate with the United Way.
Relay for Life – In the springs of 2004-2007 team members ran and walked all night in Dartmouth's stadium to raise money and awareness for Relay for Life – the national organization supporting cancer research. In 2006, Dartmouth's skaters were third among all sports teams at Dartmouth in raising money for this important work.
Wearers of the Green – Forty one Dartmouth figure skaters have been elected as Wearers of the Green, Dartmouth's equivalent to an athletic Hall of Fame, including the entire national championship teams from 2004 to 2008, as well as Emily Schaller '02, Cabray Haines '00, Amy Stetson '00, Lois McGean '84, J. Michael McGean '49, Loren McGean '92, and Lyman E. Wakefield, Jr. '33.
Friends of Dartmouth Figure Skating – In the summer of 2004, the Team was given the opportunity to form a Friends of Dartmouth Figure Skating Group. The Team is very appreciative of the support of its special donors and friends and depends on those contributions to cover its annual expenses. Contributions to the Team may be sent at any time:

Celebration with the Wrights – Dartmouth President James Wright, and his wife Susan, hosted the Team at their home to celebrate the Team's victory at the 2004 U.S. National Intercollegiate Figure Skating Team Championship.
Congratulations by President Wright April 29, 2005
Dear Mike,
I write to recognize all that you, Loren, and the Dartmouth figure skaters have accomplished this year. Your second consecutive national championship was cause for great celebration. We owe you our thanks for your steady involvement and generous coaching. Together, you and Loren have built an extraordinary team – and we admire and appreciate all that these students do.
Kudos for another great year!

Brandon Palaniuk might not have caught 24 pounds of bass on Day Three of the TroKar Quest, but he didn't hook himself either.
While those are not connected, Palaniuk said he would gladly take another finger piercing if it meant he'd be assured of catching another huge stringer.
With 17 pounds today, Palaniuk has around 63 pounds and holds almost a 10-pound lead over Britt Myers. These results are unofficial, but Palaniuk appears to be putting the hammer down.
If he can keep it up, he's in line for both the Luck "E" Strike Comeback and Heavyweight awards, given to the angler with the largest bag and the one with the biggest points move in the Toyota Tundra Bassmaster Angler of the Year standings.

I found the GOF by searching for information on the scenes that were cut from the final version of the first film. Various search engines brought me here, and then I noticed all of the interesting discussions about all of the movies, so I stuck around and lurked.
I lurked at first because school was taking up all of my time and I knew that I wouldn't be able to partake in the discussions. The other reason was because I am actually very shy, and it took me this long to decide to join.
I know a year sounds like a long time to lurk, but I lurked 3 years on another site before I joined there!
But I'm glad I'm here now!

Catholic Cemeteries in the Diocese of Buffalo trace their origins to 1934 when Bishop William Turner appointed Msgr. James F. Hogan the first director of Cemeteries. Msgr. Hogan concentrated on Holy Cross Cemetery in Lackawanna, Mount Olivet Cemetery in Kenmore, Holy Sepulchre Cemetery in Cheektowaga and Gate of Heaven Cemetery in Lewiston. Msgr. Joseph J. Sekelsky, who succeeded Msgr. Hogan, established Assumption Cemetery on Whitehaven Road, Grand Island in 1955, and Queen of Heaven Cemetery on Tonawanda Creek Road in the Town of Lockport in 1960.
In the history of cemeteries in the diocese, it is interesting to note that a few Catholic burials took place in the early days (1820's-1830's) at land given to the diocese by Louis Le Couteulx at Main and Edward Streets in Buffalo.
After the 1832 cholera epidemic in Buffalo, burials took place in East North Street near Masten. This plot, consecrated by Bishop John Timon in 1849, was quite small. When Bishop Timon found it necessary to find new space, he did so at Holy Cross Cemetery in South Buffalo.
As the city of Buffalo grew, cemeteries were established at the outer rims of the city line. Some city parishes, such as St. Adalbert, located cemeteries in rural settings away from the city. Catholic Cemeteries, with six locations, offers multiple burial options and scenic locations south, east and north of the city of Buffalo.
During the 1970s, a number of operational changes were implemented to conform with contemporary cemetery policies. The concept of interment chapels was also introduced.
The 1980s and 1990s saw new sections developed and full utilization of land achieved through modern design and proper landscaping. Mausoleums gained in popularity to offer even more burial options.
Today, various policies have been revised to better serve Catholic families. In addition, the variety of burial options has expanded further with several cremation areas and mausoleum facilities growing to a total of more than 20,000 crypt spaces.
Catholic Cemeteries are very much aware of the importance of fulfilling the needs of their families and are trying to provide for those needs. Each family is served individually and completely.
As we move ahead in an ever-changing world, the Catholic Cemeteries of the Diocese of Buffalo continue to remain faithful to our assigned works of mercy.
