How to Build a Raised Garden Bed
Now that you understand the benefits offered by using a raised garden bed, the next step is to build one. This article provides a complete DIY (do it yourself) guide; we'll show you exactly how to build a raised garden bed!
You can go about the process numerous ways. However, there is one thing that must be done properly in order to ensure the bed is going to perform properly for you.
Choosing The Best Spot For Your Garden Bed
One of the most important things you need to decide on before even reaching for a hammer or a saw is the location of yor raisded garden bed. The location matters because it gives the user the ability to control the overall results of using the garden bed. Here are some tips for choosing a location.
- Ensure it gets at least eight hours of sunlight per day. If you decide to have plants that require more sunlight than this, ensure you provide a location that gives it.
- Avoid placing the raised garden bed too close to the home. You do not want drainage problems near the foundation of your home throughout this process.
- Choose a position on the top of a the highest point of land if possible. You want to ensure that excess water can easily drain from under the bed and away from it. This reduces the risk of dealing with pooling water.
- Choose a location that is flat or close to it. That will save you some digging and help you to have an even place to start overall. Remember, building on a hill works, but build with that hill on an even surface.
The right location really will make for the best raised garden beds. Take your time in choosing the most ideal place for your bed!
Building A 3 by 6 Raised Garden Bed: A Do It Yourself Guide
Supplies You'll Need:
- Lumber of your choice (consider options above) Start with 2 by 6's for the best results.
- A saw to cut lumber to size
- Use 3.5 inch #10 coated deck screws to hold the wood into place. You will need a total 24 in total.
- A level
- A mallet or hammer
- A screwdriver or drill
- Square
Note: You will need more wood if you decide to add cross support beams to the garden bed. If you are using at least 2 by 4 lumber, though, in a 3 by 6 framing, it is unlikely you will need to add this to your structure.
With this information selected, you can begin the process of building a raised garden bed. It pays to take the time to choose the right size right now.
The average 3 by 6 foot bed is going to be large enough, generally, to support sprawling tomatoes. However, it is narrow enough that you won't have a problem reaching into the middle from any of the sides.
As for height, try to build your bed at least one to two feet tall, depending on how much soil you plan to add.
Also, consider building more than one bed rather than just one large bed. By building several smaller beds, you will have no problem rotating crops to ensure the soil's nutrients are not depleted. At the same time, you will have no problem with bowing of the sides or getting into the middle of it.
Plus, this also reduces the amount of soil you'll need overall.
The following steps will help you to build a 3 by 6 raised garden. Make adjustments based on the specific needs you have for size.
Step 1: Find and level the area to ensure you can build a level support system here. If you do not level the ground to start, the actual structure will be uneven, which could cause the entire thing to collapse when you add soil.
Step 2: Remove any weeds or turf from the location. You want completely to remove any foreign material from the site, including grass. This means removing at least an inch of dirt across the top to remove grass, in most cases. Be sure it is level when complete.
Step 3: Outline the dimensions and layout of the raised garden bed with string or a chalk line. You will want to bury about half of the first layer of lumber into the soil just enough. This allows for proper drainage but stability.
Step 4: For added protection, you may want to lay a layer of landscape fabric down at this point. By doing this it will ensure that any grass or other remnants that develop in the soil at this point do not have the ability to grow. Ensure this material extends from the outer edge of the location you plan to build the wooden frame for total protection.
Step 5: Cut and put together the initial framing. Cut each piece of wood to the proper size, either three feet or six feet depending on the side it will be used on. You need to put two screws into each of the corners to hold them into place. Ensure that each corner is properly squared off before moving forward with the process. Complete the process to complete the initial frame.
Step 6: Place corner posts into place for stability. To add stability to the entire design, you'll want to install corner posts. Cut these posts to be just as long as necessary to fit into the corners of the frame. Place the post into the corner as tightly as possible and then pound it into place. You'll want it to enter into the dirt at least three to four inches. Then, screw the post into the sides of the frame for added support.
Step 7: Repeat to form another layer around the top. Cut the same length boards and place on top of the existing boards to form a second layer to add height. Be sure to screw together and connect to the corner posts. This should create a nice, tight box shape.
Step 8: Fill in and trim. The next step is to fill in the garden box with soil. Choose an organic, healthy mixture right for the type of plants you plan to put into it. This will create the ideal bed for growing. Trim off the top of the corner posts as necessary to create an even surface.
Step 9: Add a top cap railing for support and comfort. Finally, to finish off the raised garden bed build, add a cap to the top of the railing.
To do this, miter lumber at 45 degrees. This will create the cap railing to fit on top. This addition gives you a place to sit while working in the bed, but it also gives you a way to get discourage insects and to keep plants protected when the weather cools.

Telework — also known as telecommuting — is one way Fairfax County government is working to improve traffic and air quality. Fairfax began a telework program for government employees in 1995, and it has been growing ever since.
What Is Telework?
The county defines telework as allowing employees to work from a home-based office or local work center during normal work hours, instead of commuting.
Currently, more than 1,000 county employees telework an average of one day a month. Fairfax County is the first jurisdiction to reach — and then exceed — the regional goal set by the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments to have 20 percent of the eligible workforce teleworking one day per week or more by the end of 2005.
What Are the Benefits?
Telework is a boon to the environment, reducing commuter traffic, noise, emissions and stress. According to one EPA estimate if 10 percent of the nation's workforce teleworked one day a week, the country would avoid the frustration of driving 24.4 million miles, breathe air with 12,963 tons less air pollution and conserve more than 1.2 million gallons of fuel each week.
Telework is a good business decision. It has been shown to increase productivity and job satisfaction, and it offers a way to maintain business functions if a disruption prevents workers from coming to the main work site.
Spread the Word!
By now we're convinced that telework is a win-win proposition — good for the environment, for the county and for our employees — and we're excited about expanding our program through our Fairfax Teleworks initiative.
We've had a lot of help. Other government organizations, national nonprofit groups, local corporations and others have been quick to share what they've learned — that telework is a "great way to work" — and we'd like to do the same. If you would like additional information, send an e-mail request to the telework program manager at firstname.lastname@example.com

It's easy to make fake photos with Photoshop. It's harder to do what Franck Allais does: make fake photos that say something real about everyday life.
His delivery truck photos show static street scenes with the sum of ads that have driven by on trucks that day just floating about the road. His pedestrian photos capture people walking and returning from work or errands in the same scene, facing off with themselves.
"I like the challenge of making something interesting out of something ordinary," says Allais, who is originally from France but is now based in London.
To make the delivery truck photos, Allais set his tripod up and snapped photos of any trucks that passed by in a 15- to 20-minute period. Back at home he cut out the trucks in Photoshop and then layered the photos together, creating a word scramble in the middle of the street.
"Really I'm just trying to get people to question what they normally see," he says. "It becomes almost poetic."
For the pedestrian photos, Allais sat in the window of his home and photographed people walking down his quiet residential street. Many of them, it turns out, were on their way to run an errand so he snapped another picture with them heading home.
In Photoshop he then combined the two photos so the subjects are facing themselves on the sidewalk.
It's a subtle concept that rewards a careful viewing. In one photo, for example, a woman is carrying a small Rastafarian-colored hat as she walks down the right side of the frame. As she returns on the left side of the frame she's walking with what appears to be her son who is now wearing that hat.
Allais says he loves the hat detail because it represents a moment that we would have otherwise ignored unless we saw the two frames combined.
"If you were going to try and make that story up your brain would never go there," he says. "That's what I love about the series I'm working on. If you take pictures in the same place you learn a lot about everyday life."
The second part of Allais' three-part series is probably the most visually approachable. In it, businessmen walk around the streets of London on women's legs.
Allais didn't want to comment on the production details but did say that none of the people were cloned in. All the subjects were shot where they stand.
While not obvious, Allais says this series was also about the little details. While watching people walk around the streets for hours on end he says he began to notice certain trends. Women, for example, usually walked closer to the buildings, using them like shields, while men were happy to walk in the middle of the sidewalk or down the street.
"I like the challenge or working with what I have," he says. "We overlook the everyday but if we stop for a minute it can be quite interesting."Go Back to Top. Skip To: Start of Article.

With the weather swinging between suffocating heatwave and breezy almost-fall days, my drinking schedule is all confused. On Monday I might reach for a Dark & Stormy to beat the humidity, but then Wednesday rolls around and it's time for some whiskey to take the edge off a cool gray day. The rapid switching from spirit to spirit left me feeling unsettled. Enter today's rum, my recent salvation. It's a spirit that can keep up with changes in mood and weather.
The newest release from the venerable Barbados Mount Gay distillery, Black Barrel Rum is bottle of booze with an existential crisis. Both aged double distilled pot rums and single column distilled rums are blended to create the spirit, with a much higher percentage of the pot-distilled rum. It's then finished in heavily charred former bourbon barrels, and bottled at 86 proof.
At first sniff, it's a fairly traditional yet complex rum, with hints of vanilla, molasses, brown sugar, and a bit of a funky sea bite. But upon tasting it opens up into a whole other experience. Oak leaps out from the mix, creating a rum with an undertone of classic bourbon spices, and finishing quite dry. The molasses sweetness blends and balances with the wood influence, leaving a spirit that straddles the bourbon/rum divide.
While Black Barrel makes for a refreshing Dark & Stormy and a satisfyingly robust Manhattan, it's also a pleasure with club soda and a splash of bitters, or simply sipped neat. Truly versatile and fair deal at $30, it's a one-bottle solution for a multi-spirit application.
Have you tried Mount Gay Black Barrel yet? What did you think?
About the author: Andrew Strenio is a lover of all things potable. Since sneaking his grandmother's bourbon balls, he's moved on to touring distilleries and sipping snifters. He works by day making documentary television and films for an independent production company in Brooklyn.
Sample provided for review consideration.

Scepticism is normal here. Don't take it personally. As it is, there have been many 'enlightened' beings dropping into the forum to declare that everyone here is wrong, wrong, wrong in their understanding of and approach to the dhamma. After a while, all claims about attainment puts people on edge.
This problem is in addition to the unverifiable nature of claims, along with the easily self-deluded nature of the human mind: people often believe themselves to be something more, or less, than they actually are.

What if WWF 1984 was booked 21st Century style?

Alternative Universe 6
If you look back at the old WWF title histories you will see that the reigns from the 60s, 70s and early 80s are longer than the reigns of today. Bruno Sammartino first reign in the 60s was over 7 years and Bob Backlund's first was from 78 to 83.
It was a different time.They didn't have monthly PPVs or a weekly TV shows were constant big storylines was played out.So for this What If I've decided to pick a year in the WWF's past and rebook it with 21st Century schedule and match types.I've chosen 1984 as that was the year when Hulk Hogan first captured the WWF title.

The team initially works well together until Hulk gets taken down by a cheap shot from Orndorff as he goes to lay the leg drop on Sheik. The crowd chant Hogan's name, inspiring him to Hulk up or make the tag to Backlund. Hulk eventually fights back laying both Sheik and Orndorff out. He then walks over to tag in Backlund but Backlund jumps off the apron and walks back down the isle. Why has Backlund abanded him? This distraction costs him as he get double teamed and spiked piledrivered. He falls out of the ring to the floor, knocked out and the ref counts to 10. Sheik and Orndorff celebrate in the ring. Backlund carries on walking to the back as Hogan receives another piledriver to the floor outside.

Mean Gene calls down Bob Backlund to explain why he deserted Hogan. Backlund explains how he was champion for 5 long years and was never beaten for the title.

But Hogan walks round like the belt is his even though he never beat the champ.At Wrestlemania he will make things right and destroy Hogan and takes back what is his.
During the Raws leading to Wrestlemania, Backlund squashes jobbers by applying the double chickenwing submission and forcing them to tap out, while having a demented, evil look on his face. After each victory he looks into the camera and laughs. "Hogan, your next."

Brewers slot Garza to return against Cubs
SAN FRANCISCO -- Matt Garza will rejoin the Brewers' rotation Wednesday at Wrigley Field, one calendar month after coming out of a start in St. Louis with a left rib-cage strain.
Instead of saying whose spot Garza will take, manager Ron Roenicke suggested the Brewers may stick with six starting pitchers for at least one turn through the rotation in September. The team is at the start of 17 games in as many days and does not have a scheduled off-day until Sept. 15.
"If we do it for one time through, it works out pretty good," Roenicke said. "And it gives some guys six days' rest at the end. I still think we look good out there as far as physically, but at the end of the season you never know. So if an extra day helps, maybe we'll do it that way."
Jimmy Nelson, who was optioned to Class A Brevard County in a paper move Saturday that allowed the Brewers to bring in bullpen help, is scheduled to travel to Chicago on Sunday ahead of an afternoon Labor Day start against the Cubs. Yovani Gallardo is scheduled to start Tuesday before Garza's turn Wednesday.
Statistically speaking, extra rest has been a wash this season. Brewers starters are 33-22 with a 3.61 ERA and a 1.186 WHIP in 74 games with four days off between starts. Entering Mike Fiers' outing Saturday, they were 33-19 with a 3.73 ERA and a 1.257 ERA in 60 games on extra rest.
"Plus, if all the guys are throwing well, it's kind of hard to say, 'Hey, you're out of there,'" Roenicke said. "So that's why we look at it and see what we think is the best."
One more factor: Giving Nelson another start after Monday would push Gallardo's subsequent start to Sept. 8 against the Marlins, meaning Gallardo would miss a four-game series against St. Louis at Miller Park. He is 1-11 with a 6.45 ERA in 17 career starts against the Cards, including no decisions and a 6.35 ERA in two starts this season.

Vegas, Baby: 10 Memorable Movies Set in Sin City
From bachelor party shenanigans to card counting to elopements in cheesy chapels, there are plenty of reasons why Las Vegas is the perfect backdrop for a movie. In honor of this week's release of The Hangover Part III, we thought we'd rewind back to the first film, which takes place in Sin City. The 2009 comedy embodies some of the biggest Vegas clichés (sex, drugs, and tons of booze), but that doesn't make it any less memorable. Along with the original Hangover, take a look at some of our favorite movies set in Vegas.

Outer Reef is launching a new series of vessels aimed at those ready for long-range offshore exploration who also want to catch big game along the way. Dubbed the Yacht-fish, the first will be an 86 thats slated for delivery in California in mid-2010.
While she wont make it to the canyons as quickly as a typical battlewagonher top speed should be just under 21 mph or about 18 knotsshell have legs. A 3,500-gallon fuel capacity coupled with the projected low burn rate of her twin 705-bhp Caterpillar C12 ACERT diesels should let her reach fishing grounds no tournament-ready boat can.
Underway the owner will enjoy all the creature comforts of a true passagemaker, everything from an enclosed wheelhouse to a KVH TracVision TV4 satellite TV system. The galley, which is amidships on the main deck, comes with niceties such as a GE Stainless Steel Monogram appliance package that includes a side-by-side refrigerator-freezer, trash compactor, and dishwasher. Aft of the galley is a bookshelf-lined saloon where the owner will be able to read easily even if the seas are rough thanks to a pair of 71/2-square-foot ABT Trac 250 stabilizers and Cantalupi LED light fixtures powered by standard twin 25-kW Northern Lights gensets.
Unlike most conventional sportfishermen, the 86 will sport small, watertight ports in each hull side, which will allow light into areas such as the full-beam master. The ports continue aft and illuminate the starboard side captains cabin and the port-side utility room, both of which can be accessed from the transom.
As for fishing amenities, the seven-foot-long cockpit comes with two insulated fishboxes, a fighting chair, and a 70-gallon centerline lighted bait tank with window. A pair of Rupp outriggers and eight rod holders allow anglers to easily spread a full complement of lures. And when its time to refuel, docking should be a snap, thanks to standard bow and stern thrusters.
When he does finally come back to the dock, you can bet the 86s owner will restock quickly because with so much more ocean available, therell be a lot more fish to catch.

Durban - Motorists who cross a barrier line to overtake other vehicles will not be given a traffic fine this festive season. They will be arrested on the spot and charged with reckless and dangerous driving instead.
With the Road Traffic Management Corporation (RTMC) reporting that 765 people had died on South Africa's roads since December 1 – according to its latest figures. The order was issued to all traffic authorities across the country on Sunday in an attempt to curb the carnage.
The latest figures show that 26 people were killed and 44 were injured in road accidents across the country over the weekend, according to reports by various officials.
The most deadly accident was on the N9 between Aberdeen and Willowmore in the Eastern Cape.
Eastern Cape traffic spokesman Tshepo Machaea said five people were killed and seven were injured when a taxi's tyre burst, causing the driver to lose control of the vehicle which then overturned.
RTMC spokesman Ashref Ismail said since the beginning of the month, there had been 17 major fatal crashes. Five or more people have to die in a single accident for it to be termed "major". Of those 11 were head-on collisions – which left the lowest chance of survival for passengers – and were the reason for the step-up in punishment being handed out to offenders, he said.
"We will not prosecute on the basis of overtaking and crossing the barrier line, we will charge them for reckless driving," Ismail said.
Ismail went on to say that the death toll this festive season was unacceptably high, and insisted that all road users "obey the rules of the road".
"It sounds like common sense, but sense is not so common sometimes," he said.
Even in the most modern vehicle, the chances of surviving a head-on crash at speeds above 70km/h were greatly reduced, he said.
"The most common types of injuries related to a head-on collision include spinal injuries, brain injuries, catastrophic injuries, broken bones, and even paralysis."
The eThekwini metro police spokesman, Eugene Msomi, said the sterner take on traffic infringement was a welcome one, and would help to bring down accidents.
"It (illegal overtaking) is a serious issue, and we do have a problem with it," he said.
Msomi also said the metro police had continued their crackdown on drunk drivers in Durban this weekend, with 132 drivers arrested in operations conducted from Thursday until Saturday evening.
He added that, although the latest accident figures had not yet been tallied for the Durban area, serious vehicle accidents were down compared to last year.
Transport Minister Ben Martins urged all motorists to prioritise life above personal convenience, his department said on Sunday.
"Minister Martins says if each motorist aimed to save a life each time they got into their vehicles, the nation would make considerable progress in the fight against road carnage," said a spokesman
Ismail said it would be unlikely that the RTMC would reach its target of reducing road fatalities this year.
The RTMC had hoped to ensure that there were 25 percent fewer deaths this year compared to the 1 771 people who died as a result of road accidents between December 1, 2011 and January 10, 2012.

THERE IS A DISEASE that kills more than 31,000 Americans each year; a scourge with a toll greater than that of HIV/AIDS. Annually, more people die from this disease than from alcoholic liver failure and skin cancer combined. Despite this, since 1997, the U.S. government has spent virtually no money on researching its prevention. The disease is gun violence.
Last month, like millions of American parents, I choked back tears, harnessed emotions and prepared to speak to my second-grader about the events in Newtown, Conn. Despite my disgust and bewilderment, I planned to present a measured explanation: "Sometimes people do horrible things, but, all things considered, schools are safe, you are safe, and we will do everything in our power to keep you safe."
But behind the sane facade, like many other people, my blood boiled. How can this continue to happen in our society — Virginia Tech, Aurora, Colo., Clackamas County, Ore., and so many more? Unfortunately, when it comes to gun violence, such tragic news tends to do little to bring an actual solution — on the contrary, most people just use these events to bulwark what they already believe.
If the past is a predictor, nothing will change and it's only a matter of time until the next tragedy. But, what if we decided to look at gun violence differently? What if we analyzed it not as a political issue and not as matter of varied opinion, but as a matter of public health?
Many health professionals believe that bullets should be viewed as pathogens — like bacteria or tumors. If we view the problem through this lens, the question becomes, simply, how we can mitigate the effect of the bullet? In this regard, the aggregate medical opinion is quite clear — the best way to treat a victim of a gunshot wound is to prevent the gunshot from happening.
For those who might contest semantics, I argue that it does not really matter if you say that it's bullets killing people or people killing people, the fact is that there are more than 31,000 deaths a year caused by the destructive properties of bullets. From a public health standpoint, the circumstance itself is a pathogen that, more than just about any other, needs to be prevented rather than treated after the fact. It is a simple observation that no one dies from a bullet that isn't fired, but it is one that our public policy is not at all attuned to.
You may be surprised to learn that despite the significant toll of bullet-related violence on our society, political pressure has led to a moratorium on federal research spending on gun violence prevention. The details of this circumstance have been described elsewhere (look up the July 2012 Washington Post editorial by Jay Dickey and Mark Rosenberg at http://tinyurl.com/abj6vmg) and can be summarized as such; in 1996, the National Rifle Association successfully backed efforts to remove funding from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention after CDC-supported research reported an increased risk of death (rather than a protective effect) from owning a firearm in the home. The funding extraction later extended to other agencies such as the National Institutes of Health.
And while some private foundations stepped in to fill the void, the message to the scientific community was heard loud and clear — there is little to no money to support research into gun violence prevention — and over the past 15 years investigations in this field have slowed to a trickle. In contrast, the federal government funds some $240 million a year for traffic safety research.
Dr. Arthur Kellermann, one of the researchers whose work started the whole funding dust up, addressed this state of affairs in a recent JAMA essay.
"Health researchers are ethically bound to conduct, analyze and report studies as objectively as possible and communicate the findings in a transparent manner. Policymakers, health care practitioners and the public have the final decision regarding whether they will accept, much less act on, those data. Criticizing research is fair game; suppressing research by targeting its sources of funding is not."
If this situation — the silencing of evidence-based medicine on a matter of political controversy — bothers you, as it does me, there are some steps you can take. Here are three suggestions:
Let your representatives know what you think. Sens. Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein are both active on this issue, and Rep. Mike Thompson, who represents California's 5th District, is leading a House task force on firearm violence.
Email, call or write to private foundations and let them know that they can help make a difference. For example, the California Wellness Foundation (www.calwellness.org) is one of only a handful of private foundations currently supporting research into gun violence prevention — having already spent more than $120 million on studies of the "ecosystem attributes" that contribute such violence.
Learn more about the existing centers of academic excellence in this field and consider supporting them however you can. You can start with the Center for Gun Policy and Research at Johns Hopkins (http://tinyurl.com/ahe34cn) and the Violence Prevention Research Program at UC Davis. (www.ucdmc.ucdavis.edu/vprp).
Now, maybe, just maybe, people and politicians are willing to listen. A fantastic place to start is with lifting the moratorium on studying the disease process.

With expectations that comprehensive immigration reform legislation is still on track for introduction in the Senate sometime in April, agriculture labor advocates were scrambling to find an acceptable number to limit participants in a new agricultural guest worker program.
Both Republicans and Democrats have informed ag labor advocates that the legislation will cap numbers for the agriculture guest worker program, said Frank Gasperini, executive vice president for Vienna, Va.-based National Council of Agricultural Employers.
"We say we would prefer there would not be a cap, but if there is a cap, it needs to be high enough and flexible enough to accommodate agriculture," Gasperini said April 3.
"The cap is a serious problem for agriculture," said Lee Wicker, deputy director of the Vass-based North Carolina Growers Association. Wicker said April 4 he had heard a cap number of 150,000 was recently put forward for the agriculture guest worker program. That level, he said, was a nonstarter.
"If you believe there are 1.25 million farm workers, then it has got to be a big number," he said.
Hitting a cap limit on guest workers could be devastating to growers who put faith in the government to provide a legal workforce, he said.
The Agriculture Workforce Coalition is in discussions with Sens. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., Marco Rubio, R-Fla., Michael Bennet, D-Colo., and Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, to hammer out key provisions on farm labor, said Kristi Boswell, director of congressional relations for the American Farm Bureau Federation, Washington, D.C.
Those senators, she said, have been assigned the task of putting together the ag labor piece of the broader comprehensive immigration reform bill in the Senate.
Boswell said representatives of the United Farm Workers have also been a part of the discussion.
"There has been progress made regarding a framework but there are still details being worked out," she said April 3.
In particular, Boswell said wages, a cap for the guest workers program and labor standards are still being discussed.
While not discussing negotiations, she said the cap issue is particularly important for agriculture, she said.
"It is hard to predict what our need will be as far as a cap, so we have a strong hesitancy to put any number in a statute without knowing what our needs will be," she said.
Although lawmakers are pushing for introduction of the immigration reform legislation in April, Wicker said the package was so complex that it remains an uphill battle.
"The good news is that agriculture is together and we all know this is our best chance in the near term or long term to get something done," he said.

NEW YORK - New York police say a man who cleared two fences at the Bronx Zoo and ended up in an exhibit has been mauled by a tiger and has lost a leg.
The New York Police Department says the 25-year-old man jumped from an elevated area over two fences to reach the enclosure. The attack occurred Friday at about 3 p.m. in a fenced enclosure at the zoo. NYPD spokesman Paul Browne says the tiger attacked the man before being pulled away by zoo personnel.
The man has been hospitalized in critical condition.
The zoo hasn't responded to a request for information about what had happened.

Well its been two hectic weeks. A lot of visitors from back home. Van Berkel was here giving alecture on his MB building. The thing was alright, altough many wanted to hear about some new stuff or some old unfinished stuff (Arnhem central). Anyway, the building looked amazing ($$$$). BUT, here goes the comments. First he insisted that he wanted to achieve more than an extrusion of his triple-loop infinte diagram>>>I personally think he failed ( and why was it a 3 pointed thing and not 2 or 4?). Then some dude remarked that the building was no (seamless) "manimal" as he said he intended it to be, because it had constrcution "seams". To this van Berkel said that all buildings need this stitching. I agree with Ben, but dont you think that the Y strucutres that hold up the glass bands look and act symbolically as exactly that? as stitching? My point is that he shouldnt confine himself on trying to do the manimal all over the project, he could have a very interesting project mixing Picasso, Bacon and Manimal....just a thought.
people reading De Landa onthe line for the lecture
more people, more line

Dedicated Tanaka feels good after throwing heat
ST. PETERSBURG -- Masahiro Tanaka threw 25 fastballs off a bullpen mound on Saturday morning at Tropicana Field, reporting no discomfort, and the Yankees right-hander is eager to begin snapping off breaking pitches in his next session.
"I think we're heading in the right direction, so I feel good about that," Tanaka said through an interpreter.
Tanaka is trying to avoid surgery to repair a partial tear in his right ulnar collateral ligament. Tanaka said that regardless of the Yankees' position in the standings, he would want to come back and make a handful of September starts to gauge his progress.
"I think it's important for the team to fight until the end of the season, so for me, if it would be possible, I'd like to contribute until the end of the season," Tanaka said.
The Yankees are on board with that idea. Looking ahead to 2015, there is a great deal of uncertainty in their starting rotation, and it would be useful to know if Tanaka can realistically be counted upon.
"I think it's important that we know that he's healthy, and I think the only way you're going to find out is if you get him in games," manager Joe Girardi said.
Tanaka will travel with the team after Sunday's series finale, continuing his rehab in New York. He has been an observer for the Yankees' recent skid.
"Everybody's doing their best to try to get a W, obviously," Tanaka said. "So if I get a chance to come back, I'll be on the same page with everybody else."

REDWOOD CITY — A San Francisco man accused of beating and urinating on a woman faces nine years in prison for her 2011 rape in South San Francisco, a prosecutor said Monday.
Sergio Cortez, 29, pleaded no contest Friday to rape and forced oral copulation and as part of a bargain with prosecutors is looking at nearly a decade in prison when sentenced Dec. 13, San Mateo County District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said. As part of a plea deal, prosecutors dropped a kidnapping charge, which in this case carried a possible life sentence.
Authorities say Cortez and the woman met and agreed to have sex, but the Sept. 8, 2011, encounter quickly turned violent. It started with the suspect punching the woman in the face and forcing her to give him oral sex. It continued with the suspect holding a knife to her throat and then driving her to a South San Francisco home, authorities say.
Prosecutors say the assailant forced her into a water heater closet and urinated on her. Then after smoking some methamphetamine the suspect allegedly forced the victim into a bathroom and smashed her face against a wall. He then forced her to give him oral sex and raped her, prosecutors say.
After making the victim shower and change her clothes, the suspect allegedly dropped her off at his cousin's house. One of the suspect's family members called police, who arrived in minutes.
defense attorney Paul DeMeester said there was an alternate account of the events but declined to elaborate. He said his client, who is being held without bail, was happy to avoid a possible life sentence.
"There is light at the end of the tunnel at some point," he added.

Capricorn (Cap) Anderson has never, ever watched television. He knows what a telephone is, but he doesn't have one at home and has only talked on one a couple times. He has never been in school. Cap has spent his entire life on a farm commune with his grandma, and no one else. When Cap's grandma ends up in the hospital, he has no choice but to enroll in the local public middle school.
The only person happy to see Cap's long hair, beads & sandals made out of corn husks is Hugh, the school oddball, who is more than happy to have Cap take his place as the official "wedgie receiver". Cap's odd ways and disinterest in conforming catch the attention of the school bully, or "wedgie giver," who chooses Cap as the year's eighth grade president, an honor bestowed on the kid most likely to be made fun of all year. Cap's reaction to the bully's pranks, and to the job of class president, takes everyone by surprise, especially the bully himself. Long hair and beads never looked so good. Author: Gordon Korman

OK, where do I start with this review? My husband and I were already in Hong Kong Mongkok area, and wanted stay on HK island for the last couple of nights. We booked this place the day before we were due to stay there. Our offer was accepted, hence payment would have been made automatically with my card details, but the host messaged me AFTER to say that she could offer me a private room for 700HK dollars. We assumed she wanted extra if we decided to go for a private bathroom. However, sharing an apartment and bathroom with other travellers didn't bother us. I emailed the host to say we're happy with the room we booked.
She then explained that in the apartment, there were already about 12 people staying there and we'd have to share the bathroom and living room etc., hence her suggestion to give us a private bathroom and I quote "pay 300hk. Extra money to me". She then sent another msg to ask if I'm coming with my boyfriend or friend (Right at the start I'd told her we were a married couple!!) and that the only thing she had left was two separate beds with a private bathroom. Again I told her we don't mind sharing the bathroom!!!!
On the day of arrival, I made sure I had the address, my MTR route planned out, with luggage in tow. Before getting on the MTR, I called the host in advance to let her know we were on our way. She didn't direct us to the address wimdu had given us, instead she told us to get off at the MTR stop and walk to a different address. Luckily the address was on one of the main roads so we weren't completely lost! At the location, one of the host's employees showed us our room – a double room with a private bathroom. We explained to the employee that this was not what we had reserved online and if the host wanted extra payment, we weren't giving it. She called her boss who tried to get us to pay an extra 100hk instead of the 300 she originally asked for!! (actually she originally asked for 700!)
We refused and told her to give us the original room, that it was unfair to accept the payment online, then tell us AFTER that they gave our room to someone else, and then for them to ask us for extra payment?! Really?! The employee left us with the key to the room and said she'd speak to her boss, if there were any problems she'd call us.
Despite there being a private bathroom, the stay was awful, it was freezing cold, there was no heating, no TV, no hairdryer nor Internet – oh wait, these amenities were at the apartment with the shared bathroom!! And for a lot less money! To top it off, there was an awful bloodstain in the bedsheets – which was hidden and tucked down the side of the bed.
We were very disappointed with the stay, and hopefully this review will help and alert others.

Small apartment indeed, actually only one room with integrated shower/toilet area, but space is precious in Hongkong and the apartment is really very new and nicely furnished. In addition, the location is great, in plain center of the traditional quarter of Wan Chai close to many shops, transportation possibilities and the Southern Playground which is good for relaxation in the middle of a bustling city. So we enjoyed our stay once we got used to the smallness of the place.
Wendy was good host, her staff were all friendly and helped a lot

A last minute change of the contact telephonenumber, caused to some difficulties to get access to the appartement. After I arrived in Hon Kong - I tried to get in contact with Wendy at the phonenumber that I was given after booking - but without any luck. I had to go to the nearest bar to get free WiFi - and then I found out that Wendy had sent me a new contact number - to her caretaker for the appartment. This was not a very good start after a 17 hrs. airtravel. Please take notice of this Wndy for future guests. Having said that, the room was OK and the standard was to my requirements.
