Last year, I bowed out of the nominations for Steampunk Chronicle's Readers Choice Awards (having won two years in a row) but hadn't had a chance to create my own suggested list. I'm catching the nomination period earlier this time around to throw in some two cents into the change bucket of suggestions. I'm basing my suggestions on the steampunk media that I've seen in 2014. Anything earlier, though I may have loved it, would have to be excluded from the list. I am also excluding convention nominations since I don't feel as comfortable highlighting some while I hadn't had a chance to attend as many steampunk ones in 2014. My suggestions are only for categories that I'm confident enough to speak about, and while I tend to linger in my reasoning for selecting some more than others, but it doesn't mean I feel any less about anyone / anything I mention on this list. That being said… ~insert drumroll~
Best Solo Musician
Paul Shapera for The New Albion Trilogy. The whole trilogy is pure genius in concept and execution. An Atompunk Opera, the New Albion Guide to Analogue Consciousness and the bonus The Room Beneath New Albion came out in 2014. I'm nominating Shapera under Best Solo Musician, however, from the strength and vision of the entire project. Each opera is distinct in musical style, but follows the progression of the fantasy city of New Albion and its denizens to create one of the strongest storytelling pieces I've ever listened to in speculative music. I only wish he got more recognition for his work!
Best Young Adult Steampunk Fiction
Two recommendations for this category:
Waistcoats & Weaponry by Gail Carriger Her trademark droll wit is not lacking in any of her books, including this prequel series to the Parasol Protectorate series.
Dragonfly Warrior by Jay Noel His work caught my eye early last year when he reached out about his take of Asian steampunk. It's a fun ride, and I look forward to picking up the rest of his trilogy.
Best Children's Steampunk Fiction or Picture Book
The Jupiter Chronicles by Leonardo Ramirez
Ramirez has a ton of heart and it really shows in his storytelling about a pair of siblings who go on a steampunk space adventure in search of their father.
Best Fiction
Steampunk World, edited by Sarah Hans
(Full disclosure: I wrote the introduction for this book). This projects stemmed from a conversation in early 2013 about how steampunk would function in different cultures across the globe and in 2014, Hans and Alliteration Ink launched their Kickstarter to get this project running. Featuring several well-known and up-and-coming names in SF/F, Steampunk World also got great support from io9 and BoingBoing. I was pretty impressed the the selection on the list and the range of geographic places they cover.
Best Non- fiction and Best Maker Book
The Steampunk User's Manual by Jeff VanderMeer and Desirina Boskovich (Full disclosure: I contributed an article for this book.)
The follow-up to The Steampunk Bible, VanderMeer and Boskovich explore the worlds of creativity and making. It reads one-part inspirational guidebook, two-parts DIY lovefest for the steampunk set.
Best Graphic Novel
Clockwork Watch Currently ongoing transmedia project, but I wanted to highlight the compact and beautifully-drawn graphic novels.
Best Steampunk Periodical (print or blog)
The Airship Ambassador
(Full disclosure: Until this year, Kevin Steil and I worked together for the Tor.com steampunk monthly event round-up). I rarely have time to follow many blogs consistently anymore, but the Airship Ambassador is one of them, and I have endless admiration for his stalwart dedication over the years.
Also tied with that is P. Djeli Clark's The Musings of a Disgruntled Haradrim . . . (Full disclosure: I first found his blog years ago and had him as a contributor for Beyond Victoriana). His blog is speculative fiction in general as well as steampunk, but his writing is always consistently smart, articulate and on-point.
Best Themed Cafe or Bar
The Way Station This is my neighborhood bar, actually so I really have a bias there XD
Best TV Series
The Legend of Korra, Book 4 Despite the flaws I have with its pacing early in the series, Book 4 really pulled all the disparate threads of its previous seasons and gave a satisfying and television-moment changing of an ending. Bravo.
Best Politically-Minded Steampunk
I have several for this category, in no particular order:
Bruce & Melanie Rosenbaum of ModVic While not "typically" defined as political, ModVic's charity work in disability communities has truly been an inspiration.
Jaymee Goh, for her years of tireless work analyzing steampunk from a postcolonial perspective and supporting steampunks of color at Silver Goggles
Lisa Hager, for her LGBTQQAI advocacy in the genre, especially being one of the first to introduce queer-focused panels a couple of years ago at TeslaCon
Margaret "Magpie" Killjoy, one of the first radical steampunks on the scene almost ten years ago at this point and founder of Steampunk Magazine. What more can I say?
Best Multicultural Steampunk
There's some overlap with "Best-Political" given my inclinations, but again, in no particular order:
The Airship Ashanti They are a relatively new group, but seeing them give me hope to see other PoC-dominant groups arrive on the scene. Plus, they have done a ton of local work for outreach in their community to get more fans of color involved.
Balogun Ojetade & The Chronicles of Harriet A long time friend of the bog, I have seen Balogun grow by leaps and bounds as a writer and general creator.
Jaymee Goh & Silver Goggles. She continues to be awesome, plus, I should also add that she is the co-editor of the upcoming Southeast Asian steampunk anthology The SEA is Ours and is currently running a month-long round table featuring the international list of authors involved!
Suna Dasi of Steampunk India Suna's online presence is always a delight – full of grace, poise, and welcoming to steampunks from all walks of life while always enthusiastically pursuing Indian steampunk.
Best Crowdfunded Project
The League of Steam, Season 3 or Steampunk World Criteria for both is that they got an overwhelmingly positive response, became fully-funded, and produced their final products that year or by this date & time (which is something that not all crowd-sourced funded projects actually achieve).
What do you folks think? I'm also open to hearing your thoughts about these nominations and ones for categories I didn't list here.
Filed under Announcement, Beyond Victoriana Odds and Ends
It is truly an honor and pleasure to receive the win for a second year in a row for Best Politically-Minded. My thanks go out to everyone who had voted and supported Beyond Victoriana. Also my appreciation goes to my fellow nominees Balogun Ojetade and Magpie Killjoy, who are also both equally accomplished (if not more so!) and who I consider great friends and allies, no matter what our particular political stripes may be. ^^

This article is part of Steampunk Hands Around the World international event, running between Feb 2nd and Feb 28th. For a full listing of events, check out the Airship Ambassador blog.
Over the years in the steampunk community, I've seen its potential to work together for more than shared fandom reasons to impact the larger world around us. The community's Maker influence could be a cause why: if people like to fiddle around with machines out of junk, their tinkering becomes a physical demonstration of how people can re-think an object to make it work better, breathe new mechanical life into it, as well as making it aesthetically pleasing in its functionality. I've seen that attitude transfer to other works that steampunks have done. On top of that, the types of people who are involved in the community — tinkerers, artists, educators of all stripes — create a space where ideas bounce off of one another, and perhaps, that creativity which stirs up a person's inner initiative to try and change a bit of their own lives then spreads into other aspects of life too.
It's not surprising then, that several initiatives have started up in the community with the aim of social and public betterment. I won't deny that I have a certain perspective about this, given the people that I associate with tend to value ways that explore social causes, whether it be through increased artistic literacy, media critique and representation, environmental or political causes, or education. Many of these people are friends of the blog and you can check out their work here. Various steampunk conventions also have had a charity fundraiser at their event, as what usually happens at events such as TeslaCon, Dragon*Con's Alternate History Track, and Steampunk World's Fair. For Steampunk Hands Around the World this month, I wanted to highlight some various ways that the steampunk community is giving back, to show that we're more than a group with a retrofuturistic side hobby.
Filed under Essays, Interviews
Earlier this week, I got an invitation for my good friend and steampunk colleague Kevin Steil of the Airship Ambassador to join a new community initiative that had stemmed from last TeslaCon: "Steam Hands Around the World." Below is the press release about this worldwide blogging event, which is set to run this February. You can track all the events for this month here.
Just as current day expressions of steampunk are not limited to the literature where it began, the people in the steampunk community are not bound to any one geographical region. Steampunk appears in many forms, and with its popularity, the community has grown to encompass the world.
The celebration and sharing of that global association is at the heart of a new project, Steampunk Hands Around the World, by Kevin Steil, the creator and editor of steampunk news and information resource website, Airship Ambassador. With more than three dozen steampunk creators – bloggers, authors, event organizers, and others – also participating, the month long project is a multi format media presentation about the international connections and communications in the community, for steampunks and non-steampunks alike.
Beginning Sunday, February 2nd, and continuing until Friday, February 28th, the group will show and share that steampunks everywhere are linked together and that new friends are waiting in every conversation.
Steampunk, in its many forms, brings people together in an inclusive and helpful network of similar mind. From sharing book and music review opinions, to playing the newest games and sharing DIY information on fashion and props, the steampunk community easily and comfortably brings together people ages eight to eighty in ways not often seen in other communities.
The full and updated-daily list of participating websites, blogs and events will be posted in the kick-off blog on the Airship Ambassador blog site:
For more information, please contact Kevin Steil at firstname.lastname@example.com
So far, over 50 individuals from more than 11 countries speaking across seven different languages are planning to participate. Watch this space for more to come!

Recently, the steampunk community has suffered a great loss in the passing of Richard Nagy (aka. Datamancer), one of the most prominent makers in the community. Make Magazine had written a wonderful tribute to his memory. Sadly, I didn't have the chance to know him personally, but he was one of the inspirational mainstays of the community, and his loss is felt by many, especially his family. Thomas Willeford of Brute Force Leather is working to raise funds to go to Datamancer's loved ones in this time of grief.
He says:
"I am auctioning off this Signed and Dated Datamancer Keyboard. Sadly, there will not be more like this ever again. If you have ever thought that you just have to have one, this is your chance. Help keep his legacy alive.
Every penny is going to his family.
I have contacted them directly to ensure this is done with good grace and honor toward his name.
Any help spreading the word or bidding towards this special piece of art will be greatly appreciated, the auction will last through this Saturday.

"So I heard that you won Tumblr," a coworker joked with me the other day.
He was referring to the maelstrom of activity that was triggered when I posted about my con harassment experience at New York Comic Con by the film crew of the YouTube web series Man Banter, hosted by Mike Babchik. I won't reiterate everything that happened, but kept pretty good documentation. Other industry professionals and geek news sources had done the same, too. There is a petition out, created by the activist group 18 Million Rising in order to hold Babchik's employer, Sirius XM Radio, accountable for his actions since Babchik had gotten into the convention using his job credentials. Since the incident happened, New York Comic Con had assured that they will tighten their safety policies, and I even had a nice wrap-up interview about making convention spaces safer with NYCC show manager Lance Fensterman.
Okay, that ugly event got all wrapped up with a nice li'l bow of resolution; we can leave this in the fandom corner until the next big misogynistic thing that happens to women at conventions hits the fan (but oh wait, it just did as I typed this). At this moment, I feel like I can voice something that I've been holding in this whole time: I am lucky. And it shouldn't have to be that way.
Steampunk fashion is all about possibilities. At the beginning of this year, I sat at a tea shop with Katherine Gleason, sipping our brew and speculating about what we'd like to see in a fashion book. We wanted something more than just rehashing whatever you'd find after Googling "steampunk." We wanted to show the dynamic potential of steampunk fashion — that it was more than neo-Victorian. More than skinny pale waifs. More than looking or acting a certain way. More than reinforcing the value of a colonialist past.
And it was definitely more than Victorian science fiction.
By demanding "more," a host of a questions presented themselves. Where does steampunk fashion come from? And when? Made by who? And, of course, how can novices and dabblers join in on the fun?
Over the course of the year, I've had the pleasure to see this book develop, and on the eve of its publication, one lesson can be taken from this. Fashion cannot be a summation of things — it is a compilation of creation. More than OMG that dress, but OMG that designer! That model! That performer! That person!
This is the connection between good fashion and good fiction: both tell stories about people that draw you in.
I hope you enjoy discovering these stories. Katherine and the talented contributors she worked with are more than just names and faces, but highly imaginative individuals who are offering pieces of themselves. They come from all walks of life: high-end designers and professional artists to cosplayers to hobbyists to street performers and protesters. There are people of color (as designers, models and performers!), people young and old, people of different abilities, people from all over the globe. Their joys, their lives, and their dreams are the parts that build an Anatomy of Steampunk.
Two excerpts from the book are below. The first is the Foreword written by K.W. Jeter, the science fiction author who coined "steampunk", and my Introduction to the book. The second is a Beyond Victoriana exclusive sneak-peek of what else this book has to offer.

Looking around, I realized that yesterday was my one year anniversary on IGN. Now, I don't have much of a "best of" blog, because I was AFK for a couple of months, and don't have very many followers because of it, but I would like to say thank you. There are many reasons I like MyIGN, but the greatest is that no matter who you are, where you are, or how old you are, your ideas and opinions are always welcome here, something I have learned very well over the last year.
I would like to thank all of you for sticking with me this long:
Thank you, and I hope for another year!

| adp1222 chapter 2 . 4/13/2012
For English not to be your language, the story was written well. There weren't too many grammatical errors. I love a good OreO fic also. Since there haven't been any posted under the comics X-Men site in a long time, I decided to check here. Can't wait for the next chapter

I think this story is really good, and you need to update this soon! I'm definatly NOT an OreO fan, I love RoLo too much, but I liked this. You write better than some people who speak english as a first language do.

Haunted Places in Victoria
Dying to be scared this Halloween? Victoria is rumoured to be the most haunted city in the province. Up the fear factor and visit one of the city's haunted sites. Here are some spooky spaces to add to your to visit list:
Beacon Hill Park
Beacon Hill Park near downtown Victoria is a place of history, beauty and ghosts. The "Screaming Doppleganger" appears on an outcropping of rocks near the corner of Douglas and Superior streets. She is the ghost of a woman whose murdered body was found nearby and is seen standing atop the rock at sunrise.
Bastion Square
Bastion Square and Helmcken Alley is the most haunted part of Victoria. Every building and alleyway around the historic square has a ghost or two. The old Supreme Court building is said to be the most haunted as it was built on the site of the city's jail and first gallows and many of the men who were hanged in the tree beside it still lie buried beneath its foundations.
Market Square and Chinatown
Market Square and Chinatown have many stories of ghosts and the supernatural. Their secret tunnels are probably only myths, but their hauntings are very real. The ghosts here long ago frequented the saloons, brothels and gambling dens that lined Johnson Street, Victoria's once infamous red light district.
In Chinatown, feel the paranormal energy in Fan Tan Alley as you walk past its abandoned opium dens and gambling halls, but feel safe under the Gate of Harmonious Interest which is decorated with symbols to scare away evil spirits.
Ross Bay Cemetery
Ross Bay Cemetery has the distinction of being the most spectacular Victorian cemetery in British Columbia. Its winding, tree-lined carriageways, magnificent tombstones with their poignant epitaphs and the distant views to the Olympic Mountains make it a memorable place to visit. The cemetery is noted for several resident ghosts, including Isabella Ross (the first woman in British Columbia to own land, whose farm stood where the cemetery is now).
Parliament Buildings
British Columbia's Parliament Buildings are haunted by many ghosts, most notably Francis Rattenbury, the architect who designed them in the 1890s. His body rests uneasily in an unmarked grave in Bournemouth, England, where he was savagely bludgeoned to death by his wife's lover. It is believed Rattenbury returns to haunt his most famous edifice to seek the recognition he craves and which he does not receive where he is buried.
Hatley Castle
Hatley Castle, a 565 acre Edwardian estate, is haunted by ghosts of the Dunsmuir family who once owned it.
Fairmont Empress
The Fairmont Empress is one of the oldest and most famous hotels in Victoria. The apparition of thin mustached man walking the halls with a cane is thought to be of the building's architect, Francis Rattenbury (he gets around!). A maid has been seen on the sixth floor still cleaning after her death. And guests have reported an elderly woman in pajamas knocking on their door. When guests try to help her find her room, she leads them toward the elevator before vanishing.
Craigdarroch Castle
Craigdarroch Castle does not acknowledge that the building may be haunted, but rumours persist. An apparition of a little girl has been reported by staff, as well as the image of a maid. A woman's feet have been seen running down the stairs and music has been heard.
Rogers Chocolates
Rogers Chocolates at 913 Government Street is a National Historic Site. It is also Victoria's oldest and most haunted chocolate shop. Look for the ghosts of Charles and Leah Rogers, the founders, who often slept in the kitchen of their old store and who reputedly never left.
Chateau Victoria
Chateau Victoria Hotel & Suites was built on the site of the historic white mansion of Miss Victoria Jane Wilson and her family. Soon after opening, the staff began to notice a nicely dressed but old-fashioned lady at the main floor bar, now Clive's Classic Lounge, who would promptly disappear right in front of them. Guests would sometimes be delayed when Victoria Jane would ride up and down the elevator with them, stopping at each floor.

They came in their droves. Armed with placards and chants, tens of thousands of university students descended on the capital last week protesting against plans to hike tuition fees from 2012.
Yet for all the furore and calls for free university education, the demonstrations were largely futile. The Government has reiterated its plans to lift the cap on tuition fees, which will enable universities to charge up to £9,000 per year on some courses, and the perception that a tertiary education is some kind of God-given right is beginning to crumble.
But the reality of impending fee rises is less worrying than the screech of angry students may suggest. It is true that the cost of studying on a degree course in Britain is likely to rise, but there are myriad ways to overcome this financial burden which few seem to have grasped.
As a member of the European Union, British students can apply for a place at thousands of universities across the Continent. While some countries charge tuition fees, many do not. Universities in Finland, Sweden and Denmark, for example, do not charge British students any tuition fees and offer many programmes in English.
Other countries, such as Spain and Germany, do charge, but the size of their tuition fees are small when compared with those expected in the UK. In Germany, for example, a British student could expect to pay approximately ¤500 (£425) per semester in tuition fees with an additional ¤50 registration fee per semester, but there are some länder (federal states) which still do not charge at all. Spain, too, has a record of charging low fees, with the average cost of a bachelor programme costing between ¤1,386 and ¤2,880, according to the website www.studyineurope.eu.
As well as being less of a financial burden on young people's wallets, studying abroad can be invaluable when it comes to increasing a graduate's job prospects. Immersion in another country can boost language skills as well as develop life skills and enrich an individual's sense of cultural awareness.
But if moving abroad isn't an option, there are other ways to fund an education in the UK. Hundreds of grants, loans and bursaries are available for young people who are prepared to do their homework. Many blue-chip companies offer scholarships to young people showing signs of academic promise. And generating relationships with organisations which could become future employers ahead of graduation can only be a plus.
For those of a military persuasion, the Army offers a wide range of bursaries for young people prepared to undergo officer training after graduation. The Army's Undergraduate Bursary currently offers £6,000 for a three-year course and £7,000 or £8,000 for four- or five-year courses respectively.
For parents who want to plan ahead, saving a small proportion of earnings into an ISA or regular savings account is one of the best ways to build up a sizeable pot to be used for a child's tertiary education.
Putting away £150 per month for 18 years will generate a savings pot of £32,400 after 18 years, without adding interest and before taking inflation into account. If £150 is too steep, a £50 contribution over the same period will provide £10,800 after 18 years.
And for parents without the luxury of 18 years to build up a sizeable savings pot and for young people without a well-padded savings account, now may be time to think about the overall benefit of a university education.
The idea that a university education guarantees a job after graduation has been disproved many times in recent years, with record numbers of graduates unemployed or forced to work in temporary jobs which have few criteria other than knowing how to use a photocopier and type.
While vocational courses such as medicine and architecture are obviously a necessity for those seeking jobs as doctors or architects, the value of other degrees is far less clear-cut. Media studies may be fun for some, but when it comes to getting a job, graduates may find themselves in the doldrums.
Lacking relevant experience was no impediment to award-winning businesswoman Michelle Mone, who left school at the age of 15 due to a family illness, and went on to set up one of the most successful lingerie companies in the UK.
Bill Gates, the world's richest man for most of the past decade, famously dropped out of Harvard to go and set up Microsoft. Sir Richard Branson never went to university at all, but set up his Virgin empire, among the most successful privately owned businesses in the UK.
The world is filled with shining examples of people who went against the grain of conventional wisdom to chart their own paths in life and make a success of it. A degree may tick a box on a CV but self-motivation, imagination and focus are equally important when it comes to achieving life goals.

The ruins of the Prince William's Parish Church and graves is such a place. The church was built between 1745 and 1753 and was named Prince William's Parish Church but was also called Sheldon Church. As the sign indicates, the church is also called Sheldon Church. Building of the church was primarily paid for by Lt. Gov. William Bull and was sometimes referred to as Sheldon Church after Bull's plantation, which was also called Sheldon.
The church was constructed in the Greek Revival style. It was burned by the British in 1779 during the Revolutionary War. It was rebuilt in 1826. The church was alleged to have been burned again in 1865 as General Sherman marched from Georgia into South Carolina during The War Between the States.
However, according to some writings about the church, it may not have been burned but, instead, gutted on the inside in order to obtain materials to reuse to rebuild some of the homes that had been burned by Sherman's army during that time.
The sign indicating the church's location might easily be missed as one travels along the narrow coastal highway near Yemassee, South Carolina. Fortunately, our son-in-law Jason had remembered seeing the sign and glimpsing the ruins from a trip down that way last summer. I am so glad that he made note of its location, because it would have been a shame to have missed seeing this lovely place.
|Sign for Prince William's Parish Church AKA Sheldon Church, near Yemassee, South Carolina
The ruins and graves are located among many of the beautiful moss covered oak trees for which our southern coastal regions are known.
One of the reasons I enjoy walking through old graveyards like this one is the stories that sometimes go along with the grave markings. This lone little marker at the grave of a child less than five years old made me feel sad. Sitting there, all alone inside a large plat,it left me wondering what happened to the parents and other family members. Why were they not buried here with this little fellow? What happened that S.P. and Eva would have left little Collis.
Perhaps, they passed away and are buried in this plat but without any markers. Maybe there was no one left to provide them with headstones at their burial sites. Who knows?

|Lt. Gov. William Bull's Grave Inside the Ruins of Prince William's Parrish Church
|Lone Grave Marker of a Little Boy at Prince William's Church
This appears to be a mosoleum with a grave at its foot.
There are a good many other crumbling graves scattered about the church cemetary, including the grave of a soldier who died in The War Between the States. There was one much more recent, modern and pristine burial site with Azalea bushes planted all around it. I took pictures of some of the others graves but will focus the rest of this post, however, on the church ruins and grounds.
Near the entrance gate to the church is this wonderful old hand water pump. Our grand girls were drawn to this thing like a magnet.
When we left this beautiful place, I felt as if I had seen and touched a marvelous piece of history and visited a place of relevance in time. It was an enriching experience and I am so glad that we took the time to stop here to see this special place from days gone by. It was time well spent!

"My offers have been increasing," Byron said. "I now have offers from Iowa, Rutgers, West Virginia, Virginia Tech, Hofstra, Townson, Temple, Maryland, and Central Florida. I attended camps at Rutgers and Penn State. Penn State gave me a verbal offer two days ago so hopefully it will show in writing this week."

Basketball Recruiting
In many ways, the fact that all five came to campus on the same day (or at least tried to) was a coup unto itself because just one year ago, when Gary Waters was still an unknown coach from the Midwest, half of New Jersey had already written him off at Rutgers.
Waters is a deliberate, determined guy, and upon arriving from Kent State to a place he knew almost no one, especially influential high school and traveling team coaches, and bringing a staff of Midwesterners, he sat himself down at the state university and over the first few months called just about none of them to make an introduction.

Basketball - Talent overload in New Jersey
Six-foot rising senior point guard Maureece Rice (Strawberry Mansion H.S./Philadelphia), who is expected to pass Wilt Chamberlain as the most prolific scorer in Philadelphia high school history, has left camp after the first day. Allegedly, Rice was upset that he had only taken three shots in his team's first five possessions. His teammates were glad to see him go. Go figure.

TSA to Swab for Explosive Residue

...and after for that matter....
TSA to Swab for Explosive Residue
I don't know if those of us who carry firearms get enough residue from handling loaded ammunition to set these things off.
wonder what it is looking for?
Well, unless you've been out shooting black powder, seems to me that smokeless gunpowder residue isn't much of a threat or indicator of anything. Smokeless powder doesn't explode, it burns - and it's a damn poor explosive. Of course, silly me - I'm not thinking like the government.
A couple of years ago I was travelling with sidearms and ammunition. The ammo was all in factory boxes. The TSA agent dutifully opened each box of ammo, removed one round, and swabbed it. Mind you, the ammo boxes were clearly marked ".45 ACP"... and all I could think was, what on earth did she think the chemical swab would reveal??? Well, nothing came back from the analyzer, but I still shake my head at that.
My conspiracy theory on this is it would be a great way to get DNA samples from whomever they swab but that is just the paranoid in me. Every day it is another step in the whole fear factory.
My bag got swabbed at SeaTac when I flew with my pistol.
Just the bag, though. none of the contents.
Get worried when they want to do cheek swabs, draw blood, or cut little chunks of tissue off of you. Honestly, I'm pretty sure that if they offered DNA profiling in exchange for a free drink or something, most people would go for it. No need to make a conspiracy.
I was travelling through Dallas IAP in my military uniform (ABU), checking an M4 and M9 in my luggage. My bag with the M9 went through without a problem. The M4 was in a separate case--so I was asked to open it. They then swabbed the M4 and the case. I asked what they were looking for--they said "residue"....:ticking:I told them, "You are kidding, right? It's a stinkin' M4....of course it's going to have residue"
"Policy"....is what I was told.:tired:
Wonderful security theater....
Let me figure this out. I just finished unloading my pistol and packing it away along with some ammo, OK...now they're going to swab my hands for residue?:rolleyes: Why?:confused:

4 Recommendations
saramarie's recommendation
A fun loving skirt that is great for a day with the girls. A great trendy style that I would wear all summer. Love it!
Elle_D's recommendation
Great skirt from French Connection, high waist is very flattering and the style and material can be used in any season, really.
nothing2wear's recommendation
I love this skirt! but again had to go a size up because it is very tight in the legs and when a skirt fits that high you dont want it to hug too much. It is black and silvery striped and feels like its made out of a linen like material. Must have for summer
asd2010's recommendation
Wear it to work with a blazer and then with tank for evening! LOVE!

So, for mod_auth_basic and mod_auth_digest, they will usually be exclusive - this is indicated by the AuthType directive. So, the conflict there is likely to be minimal. Even if both were specified, the browser/client won't usually present *both* Basic and Digest authentications in the same request. However, if an authentication module doesn't use the provider system (which is allowed in order to permit source-compatibility with 2.0 authentication modules), then then the Authoritative directives will control its interaction with mod_auth_basic/mod_auth_digest. For Authoritzation, the problem is unchanged from previous versions of httpd. You must rely upon Authoritative directives to properly order the authorization modules - until such time as someone goes and cleans them up too. The ordering of mod_authz_* modules will usually be non-deterministic and subject to _HOOK_FIRST, _HOOK_MIDDLE, and _HOOK_LAST constants determined at compile-time. When a module is in the same 'priority' class, then the 'predeccessor'/'successor' logic kicks in at module registration-time. (This is why Nick wants to move some of our bundled in authorization modules to _HOOK_LAST.) Hope this clarifies some. -- justin

Can I posit that this weight gain be as symptomatic of autism as Kate's flapping? Can I blame the changes and the challenges? If you think I am blaming Kate for my weight gain you'd be wrong. Pay attention. It doesn't really matter, though. This is one problem I won't be talking (or writing) my way out of.
It's a shame though, that as far as I've come and the successes I've had as of late, that I can't get this particular monkey off of my back.
I've joked to Alex that I have been working hard to gain this weight because editorially it would make for a fantastic before and after piece.
So, in sharing this today I was hoping that maybe you might have some words of wisdom or commiseration for me. I could use both right now.

East Gippsland Waterway Strategy
East Gippsland's waterways are remarkable 'natural assets' of Victoria, with the highest proportion of streams in 'Excellent' or 'Good' condition in the state (approximately 82%) according to the Index of Stream Condition criteria. The region contains a Ramsar listed wetland system (Gippsland Lakes and Lake Tyers), six declared Heritage Rivers, and many national parks and reserves. A large proportion (83%) of the region is public land, stretching from sub-alpine environments to the coast.
Our waterways provide many of Victoria's best fishing, swimming, camping, boating and scenic attractions. The health of these waterways underpins many aspects of tourism, employment and investment in the region.
The purpose of the East Gippsland Waterway Strategy 2014–2022 is to ensure that the future management of our waterways keeps providing these important environmental, social, cultural and economic values.
The strategy provides a framework for the East Gippsland Catchment Management Authority, in partnership with other natural resource management agencies, traditional owners, the regional community and other stakeholders to improve the health of the region's waterways over the next eight years. It delivers key elements of the state-wide approach outlined in the Victorian Waterway Management Strategy.
The East Gippsland Waterway Strategy 2014–2022 identifies the region's high value waterways, based on environmental, social and economic values. It identifies six high level regional goals for the future management of our rivers:
1 Maintain the condition of all waterways which are in near-natural condition.
2 Improve the condition of 'regionally important' waterways, defined for their social, economic and environmental values.
3 Maintain or improve the condition of waterways within urban water supply catchments to maximise water quality.
4 Improve the resistance and resilience of waterways within cleared land to reduce the risk of bed and bank instabilities, for public benefit.
5 Manage priority invasive plant and animal species that are damaging the health of waterways, using the biosecurity approach.
6 Where appropriate, improve connections within and among rivers, estuaries and wetlands and between these waterways and terrestrial native vegetation.
The East Gippsland Waterway Strategy 2014–2022 also identifies priority waterways for targeted management over the next eight years. These targets relate to:
• targeted control of priority invasive plants and animals on priority waterways
• establishing priority waterway frontages under a management agreement, and fencing, revegetation and complementary weed control
• investigating the effect of barriers on fish species and prioritising actions in lower Prospect (Boggy) Creek and in the Buchan River and removing the fish barrier on the Nicholson River
• installing waterway structures (rock beaching) on the lower Mitchell, lower Tambo, lower Nicholson and the lower Snowy estuaries.
• installing waterway structures (large wood) on the lower Mitchell River and estuary, lower Tambo River and estuary and the lower Snowy estuary
• investigating the stability of, and prioritising actions for, the lower Mitchell River, minor Gippsland Lakes tributaries and on Cobbannah and Tonghi creeks
• monitoring bed stability on Forge Creek
• investigating flow paths into floodplain wetlands and prioritising actions for the lower Mitchell River, Skull Creek, lower Tambo and lower Snowy rivers
• developing and implementing a monitoring plan for the lower Mitchell River and estuary
• working with partners to conduct surveillance and control of priority pest plants and animals in Ewing's Marsh and remote coastal priority wetlands
• developing and implementing rehabilitation plans for the lower Mitchell and Tambo waterways
• completing and implementing a lower Snowy River and wetland monitoring and investigation plan and prioritise actions
• incorporating priority wetlands into the 10-year plan for the establishment and maintenance of native vegetation in the Gippsland Lakes and Hinterland.
• supporting Parks Victoria in implementing the Victorian Alpine Peatlands Spatial Action Plan
• working with partners to manage community access on the lower Tambo estuary
• implementing the estuary opening protocols on the Lake Tyers and lower Snowy estuaries and on Sydenham and Mallacoota inlets.
The views of the East Gippsland community were collected through ongoing regular consultation with landholders and through two community forums held in March 2013. The views of agencies, stakeholders and traditional owner groups were collected through consultation and considered throughout the development of the strategy. The objectives and guidance of other relevant strategies, such as the East Gippsland Regional Catchment Strategy (EGCMA 2013), the Gippsland Lakes Environment Strategy (GLMAC 2013), Gippsland Sustainable Water Strategy (DSE 2011) and the Invasive Plants and Animals Plan (EGCMA 2011) were also considered in prioritising waterways.

Our nation is divided; Republican, Democrat, liberal, conservative, progressive, fundamentalist, Black Lives Matter, racial tensions, etc. Sadly, the state of the union appears to spiraling down a slippery slope of immorality, hatred of another, intolerance, lack of ethics and integrity, etc.
On edge of the wilderness stood the children of Israel, as they were inching closer to the land God had promised them. Moses called upon the leaders from each of the 12 tribes to go beyond where they were and explore the land, which God said they could possess. Shammua represented the tribe of Rueben.
The women who attend the Loving Stitchers Club laugh easily and often, and just as quickly shed a tear as they recall difficult times and the encouragement they received from each other.
The club, which meets every Friday at 10 a.m., is one of two specialty clubs that are part of the Grant County Extension programs.
It is the newest club where women come together around swatches of colorful print fabric and humming sewing machines.
I realize there are many people that are genuinely concerned for our nation. We knew all along that whoever won the election, there would be a large amount of strife, worry and disappointment but we pray and hope that over time, we will agree to press forward and keep our focus on God.
We are never going to agree about everything but we can at least put forth an effort to work together and be unified on the issues we feel the same about.
Imagine with me that you are starting a rebuild project on an old car, where would you start this project? What is the most important thing that must be working in a car? This question is rhetorical because you know the answer. You would start with the engine. Otherwise this car is just a yard ornament, which there are a lot of yard ornaments in Grant County (no offense).
What does it mean to "be holy?" What does holiness look like?
Apostle Peter quoted in his epistle in 1 Peter 1:16, from the Old Testament book of Leviticus of the Bible. He was addressing the Jewish believers in Christ, new Christian converts who were dispersed into various parts of the Middle East.
He was making a point in his letter declaring the necessity of living a holy life that is revealed in a demeanor of conforming to the Holy Spirit leading.
By the time I left the newsroom I was ready to rip out my hair or stick a hot poker in my ears.
All day the noise and commotion drove me to distraction -- and it had been a fairly quiet day. I was alone in the pod I share with two other reporters and my phone only rang once.
In A.D. 64, according to history, Rome was ruled by one of the most wicked emperors to ever be named in the nation's history. Emperor Nero was so wicked that he burnt Rome to the ground just to prove that he could build a bigger and better city.
The citizens expected Nero of committing such evil acts, so to veer the attention away from him, he began to blame to Christians of the city for the crime.
By that time, Paul had preached the Gospel to literally millions of people, and had the reputation of leading the church in the revival movement.
I'm a sucker for a reunion story.
In 2008, I covered the story of a couple who had been married and then divorced for 52 years. They had lost contact with each other until their daughter found her dad through an Internet search. By that time he was seriously ill, but well enough to come to Florida to be reunited with his ex-wife.
The couple remarried, and the man died less than a month later. It was quite a story.

Riley's In C, with its extensive repetition of simple modal fragments, is widely held responsible for beginning the minimalist movement in music. As its 53 modules - many just a handful of notes, though there is also one glorious tune - tumble joyously over one another, they achieve an effect quite different from that of any earlier Western music outside jazz. Thirty-one years ago, modal improvisation had just been taken up by John Coltrane and others, but it was new in "formal" music. Among In C's other virtues was its accessibility, to performers as well as listeners. Any number can join in: the material itself is not difficult and the work's single-page score effortlessly but precisely charts the music's course.
That openness has, however, presented its drawbacks too. An image has built up around it - the more the merrier, appreciated all the better if you're on certain substances - that has turned the work into hippy log-fire music. Never mind the Beatles - who were working on the album A Hard Day's Night while Riley was composing In C. (Ringo Starr had his tonsils out shortly after Riley's work was premiered.) In C is the really quintessential Sixties piece. So, too, in a way, is its follow-up: Olson III, composed in 1967 for a Swedish youth choir and orchestra, with its clear reference - for Swedish speakers, at least - to marijuana.
Though not in fact widely known until Columbia issued a recording in 1968, In C became what the jazz critic Robert Palmer has called "the single most influential post-1960 composition by an American". By the late Sixties, Riley had moved into solo improvisations - sometimes lasting all night - on soprano saxophone (Coltrane again an influence here) and electric organ. Earlier in the decade, though, he had been a pioneer in the field of tape delay, with tape pieces exploring the potential of repetition, using fragments of speech and music, along lines later made famous by Steve Reich, a prime mover in the premiere of In C. (It is good to know that some of these compositions will shortly be available on CD from the Los Angeles-based Cortical Foundation.) Delay now returned in a "live" context, allowing Riley an animated, instant counterpoint. Poppy Nogood and the Phantom Band and A Rainbow in Curved Air were constructed around "grooves" similar to those of In C, but began the move away from its pure minimalism. Unlike In C, they were never written down.
In the early Seventies - now increasingly influenced by classical Indian music via his studies with Pandit Pran Nath - Riley's performances developed a more structured approach, especially rhythmically. Persian Surgery Dervishes, for instance, has a far more dynamic shape. And it is this music that influenced the likes of Brian Eno and The Who - to say nothing of a whole generation of music students - as much as In C itself. For a while, Riley became a cult rock hero, even making a more obviously rock-oriented album with John Cale, of Velvet Underground fame, called The Church of Anthrax.
The flexibilities of In C have, however, helped the piece adapt to changing cultural circumstances, even as they have left it open to thoughtless abuse. Performances in the three decades since its premiere have reflected changing tastes as well as the seriousness, or otherwise, of its interpreters' involvement. The rather unsubtle blow-outs of 20 years ago have given way, in the hands of sensitive musicians, to performances that respond to the work's requirements and potential in new ways. Its DIY score - long unpublished, passed from hand to hand (laboriously copied in the old days, illegally photocopied now) - is also halfway towards embodying the idea, prevalent in Indian culture, that music can survive entirely on its own merit, independent of the creator's name or many of the things traditionally betokening a "personal style".
Despite this, the work has become a millstone around Riley's neck as well as the chief reason for both his cult status a quarter of a century ago and his more recent selection as one of the Sunday Times's "1,000 Makers of the 20th Century". Improvisation had taken over after 1964, making his music inaccessible to other musicians even as it gained him new friends. The popularity of In C has obscured the very real achievement of, for example, Shri Camel, another keyboard improvisation but one that developed movable rather than merely repeating patterns, a stronger melodic profile and more adventurous harmony, including the use of just intonation. It's true that Riley has had some success with the works he has written for the Kronos Quartet who, in 1980, began to encourage him to write music down again and, in the process, to explore ways of elaborating his material that he would probably not otherwise have developed. Salome Dances for Peace (1985-6) for string quartet, the major composition of this period, has been widely admired.
But both Riley's recent work with the groups Khayal and Zeitgeist and, in particular, his more "classical" compositions of the past six and more years - which include three large-scale works involving orchestra and a music-theatre piece - are little known in Britain. Recordings both of Zeitgeist and of later solo keyboard improvisations exist; he continues to improvise. But what does Riley's other new music sound like?
The Sands - one of two recent compositions to be played at the Huddersfield Festival - is a half-hour work in four movements for string quartet and orchestra. Written in 1991, and premiered at that summer's Salzburg Festival, for which it was commissioned, it has a clear political message. The composer had improvised its opening stages on the keyboard in January, on the eve of the Gulf War. "It is dedicated," he says, "to the struggle for peace and co-operation and condemns the shameless irresponsibility of our Government's military actions that caused such deep suffering and agonising loss of life of innocent people."
These concerns are translated into a dramatic, urgent music in which repetition seems to carry more of the sort of significance - structural as well as emotional - that it has in Beethoven than it does in "classic" minimalism. Many other sources play their part, some familiar from Riley's earlier output: melodies of a clear Middle-Eastern origin; use of northern Indian modes; timbral links with the Persian tradition; the choice of an American ballad, "Time on my hands", as the subject of variations; Gil Evans and jazz orchestrations (there is a prominent part for piano); a foxtrot; East African rhythms. Their more "symphonic" context transforms them, though, in ways Riley wouldn't have used before.
But if The Sands suggests that the composer's minimalist roots have been largely abandoned, Cactus Rosary (1993) - the other recent work to be heard in Huddersfield - contradicts this. Evocative of Native American peyote ceremonies, this work for the Canadian group Arraymusic possesses, for all its jazz influences, the contemplative, mesmerising, static qualities the earlier piece lacks. Taken together, the two works suggest a new kind of openness - to both musical materials and structures - that seems as healthy, vital and relevant to our times as the openness of In C was to its own era.
n Terry Riley is featured at the Huddersfield Contemporary Festival, beginning with a late-night solo piano recital by the composer tonight, and ending with a performance of 'In C' on Wednesday. Booking: 01484 430528Reuse content

"Hello, and death to the West!" was the greeting from General Aladeen to the assembled crowds at the premiere of The Dictator last night.
And with a series of outrageous claims about politicians and celebrities, Sacha Baron Cohen ensured that his latest comic creation was just as controversial as his earlier ones.
The "Admiral General" of the fictitious Republic of Wadiya, arrived in an unusual manner, but still one befitting a North African despot. The procession was opened with a chrome and gold armoured vehicle, before the dictator appeared in full military regalia and waving a golden handgun, in the back of an orange Lamborghini, which was sitting on the back of a City of Westminster tow truck. Taking inspiration from Muammar Gaddafi, Aladeen had at least 10 female bodyguards, all of whom, he insisted, were virgins.
In a speech to the crowd, the man with the golden gun displayed a keen appetite for current affairs, and said that he was off to meet the Prime Minister and his deputy after the premiere had finished.
"This evening, I am having a dinner with your David Cameron," he said. "It was very easy, I just paid €400,000 to the Tory party. For that price I get an inclusive foot massage from Mr Clegg."
He reached out to Rupert Murdoch, expressing sympathy over News Corp's scandals. "I would like to grant political asylum to Murdoch," he insisted. "I don't know why you are picking on my wrinkled old buddy, what is the big deal? We also have mobile phone hacking in Wadiya. Everybody who has a mobile phone, we hack off their hands."
The revelations continued afterwards as he spoke to what he called the "Zionist media", he claimed to be the father of Prince Harry (apparently they share a love of dressing up in Nazi uniforms), to have had an off-screen affair with co-star Megan Fox and to have ordered the murders of rappers Tupac Shakur and the Notorious B.I.G. Meeting Mohamed al Fayed, the owner of Fulham FC, on the red carpet, he embraced him warmly, before claiming that the pair had met when they were both on the finance committee of Hezbollah.
For the London opening of his 2009 film Bruno, about a gay Austrian fashion broadcaster, he dressed in a revealing version of a soldier in the Queen's Guard, complete with bearskin hat, and marched down the red carpet to the strains of Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive". At the premiere of Borat, in 2006, the actor arrived on a mule-driven cart surrounded by what were supposed to be "Kazakhstani" prostitutes.
Recently Baron Cohen has been taking more traditional roles with directors such as Martin Scorsese and Tom Hooper, but The Dictator is a return to the shocking character comedy, that saw him break out with Ali G. And after every new film comes out, it is inevitably asked, where can he possibly go next?

Discussion in 'XenForo Questions and Support' started by togermano, Oct 6, 2010.
http://www.togerland.com/xenoforo/index.php?forums/main-forum.2/ My urls dont look like that?
You have to enable friendly URLs in the options.
It is under Admin CP > Options > Basic Board Information > Use Full Friendly URLs
After a new install, is it sufficient to tick this option for Friendly Urls? How do i know if i have them turned on? I did not change anything else like the htaccess. Kinda confused right now
There's a handy thread with answers to some of the common questions here:
Just tick the checkbox, the software does the rest.
You will know it's turned on as the index.php? will no longer appear in the URL.
when going into the ACP > Home > Options > Search Engine Optimisation (SEO)
it shows the following text besides the checkbox:
If you enable this option, the links generated by the system will not include "index.php?". However, to enable this, mod_rewrite must be available and an appropriate .htaccess file must be in place.
- how do I check if I do have "mod-rewrite" available ?
- which .htaccess file are you talking about ? the one file which came with the XenForo-software in the .zip-File ?
Not sure what is the best setting for SEO ?
Currently both checkboxes are being checked as per default.
mod_rewrite is available on most Apache servers. The .htaccess file in question is in the upload folder of the xF zip file. Just enable the option in the Admin CP and upload that .htaccess file. You will know right away if it's working or not.
Jake has already answered the question but as this question comes up a lot, I put it in the How Do I thread a few days ago: http://xenforo.com/community/threads/how-do-i.5183/
Merged with the existing thread.
is there any other way to see if this SEO is turned on ?
I have removed the "index.php" from the URL as you suggested of how to do this in this thread.
So as I have removed this "index.php" from the URL, I am not sure if I have enabled SEO properly or not ?
What does your forum URL look like?
If it doesn't have index.php in it then SEO is turned on.
Starting browsing through your forum. The links should be like this:
Instead of like this:
If the URLs don't have index.php in them then you know it's working.
Don't sweat it, I just turned it on and I didn't even have to edit anything.
You too. Don't sweat it.

The popularity of Peppa Pig's internationally-famous snort and The Hunger Games: Mockingjay —Part 1 helped TV and film producer and distributor Entertainment One to hoick its profit expectations for this year.
Shares leapt 10% in early trading, before settling up 6.9p at 275.3p, as E1 hailed a strong performance in its TV business, which also includes The Walking Dead, where revenues rose 36.8% in the nine months to the end of December.
That was offset by a 13.5% decline in E1's film division, despite the nine months also seeing the release of 191 films including the Hunger Games hit, as well as Mr Turner, Nativity 3, and Nightcrawler.
However, the company's management is confidently predicting that annual profit will still beat expectations.
E1's Peppa Pig juggernaut is set to double and hit $1 billion (£663.4 million) retail sales this year, with products launching in Walmart in the US and in China, Japan and South Korea.
The company also reckons that this year's slate of forthcoming movies is "looking stronger".
It expects to release 220 films during the current financial year, including Paddington, Foxcatcher, and Suite Française.Reuse content

Austin Bazaar's Nov. 17 Fall Fest to Celebrate Music and Support Kids in a New Groove
Online musical instrument retailer Austin Bazaar is planning its first annual Fall Fest on Nov. 17 with live music, food, and a chance to raise money and awareness for Kids in a New Groove, a non-profit music mentoring program for Texas foster youth.
"Austin Bazaar is so excited to be partnering with Kids in a New Groove by donating new instruments to the children in foster care that they serve. We understand how important music can be in the life of a child, which is why we support organizations like KING that are making a real impact in our community. Everyone deserves the gift of music, no matter their background, " said Larissa Williams, Austin Bazaar Web Content Editor. "In donating new instruments, Austin Bazaar is providing the bricks, but KING is building the foundation."
Austin Bazaar is a retailer of musical instruments based in Austin, Texas. Founded in 2005, Austin Bazaar is a family-owned and operated business that carries everything from band instruments and ukuleles to guitars, keyboards, and amplifiers. For additional information, visit http://www.facebook.com/
Kids in a New Groove (KING) is a 501c3 Austin based non-profit that provides private music lessons and instruments to children in the Texas foster care system. KING seeks to change the grim statistics on youth aging out of foster care, where many children eventually face homelessness or incarceration due to lack of community resources. As youth in foster care move between placements, a KING teacher moves with each child, providing a consistent and stable mentor. The KING program also helps children build life skills, accountability, goal-setting, and perseverance. Each child is encouraged to perform at concerts and recitals, and is given the chance to earn a musical instrument through dedication and hard work.

SYDNEY (AFP) – A teenager who ran away from Australia to join extremists in Iraq and Syria has reappeared months later in a video of the Islamic State group, vowing to "not stop fighting", reports said Tuesday.
The 17-year-old, named in local media as Abdullah Elmir but who calls himself "Abu Khaled", carried a rifle and directly addressed Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott in the video reportedly posted online.
"To Tony Abbott, I say this. These weapons that we have, these soldiers, we will not stop fighting," said Elmir, whose family is from the southwestern Sydney suburb of Bankstown.
"We will not put down our weapons until we reach your lands and until we take the head of every tyrant and until the black flag is flying high in every single land."
A spokesman for the prime minister said in a statement the video showed the threat posed by the Islamic State group, also known as ISIL.
"As the Prime Minister has said on many occasions, ISIL is a threat that reaches out to Australia and our allies and partners," the spokesman said.
"That is why Australia has joined the coalition to disrupt and degrade ISIL in Iraq and is giving our law enforcement and security agencies the powers and resources they need to keep Australia and Australians as safe as possible."

Retired citizens are enjoying their new homes developed by Central Developments using Corobrik's sustainable and appealing face brick range.
Corobrik Nebraska Travertine face bricks and Corobrik Classic Satin face bricks have been used to construct the Eldoraigne Retirement Village, situated in Centurion, Pretoria. A total of 5 million Corobrik face bricks have been used to construct 135 apartments and 288 single story homes.
Corobrik's Commercial director, Musa Shangase said. "The developer selected our durable range of face bricks for use throughout the 9-hectare site. The result is a striking retirement village for the citizens.
"Retired people cannot spend money unnecessarily which is why clay face brick is the perfect solution. The brick requires no upkeep in the form of paint or plaster at a later stage and clay's inherent thermal qualities severely decreases the occupant's need for artificial heating and cooling systems. Homes are kept warm in the winter months and cooler in summe," continued Corobrik's Shangase.
Comprising three apartment blocks which total 125 apartments as well as 288 single story houses, Eldoraigne Retirement Estate was developed by the Central Developments Property Group.
"Eldoraigne Retirement Estate offers a variety of different housing units which caters for the needs of all retirees," explained Riaan Joubert of Central Developments. "The units are designed and developed in such a way that retirees will be able to maintain the active, independent lifestyle they are accustomed to. Every unit is conveniently close to the service and frail care centre and all units are north facing for optimum temperature comfort. Aluminium window frames which seal tightly further ensure proper insulation and all houses are fitted with solar water geysers to minimise heating costs."
Residents at Eldoraigne Retirement Estate have access to vital 24-hour frail care as well as a dining room, communal hall and lounge, onsite doctors and physiotherapists, a convenience shop as well as a hair and beauty salon.
The houses range from two to three bedrooms with varying floor plans, patios, private gardens and service courtyards. The one or two-bedroom flats are a more affordable option located conveniently near all support services. They are designed with sunny and spacious rooms to maximise the thermal efficiency of the face bricks. Flats also enjoy a patio or balcony and single carport. Lifts are conveniently placed throughout the building to ensure easy access to the flats and communal facilities. A back-up generator ensures continuity of services in the event of power failures.
Commenting on the choice of Corobrik's face brick range, Central Developments' appointed architect, Albert Monteith, said they offered triple benefits for developers and residents.
"Firstly, there are the aesthetics," said Monteith. "The colours selected were earthy, very close to stone and clay. The combination of dark and light adds to the artistic atmosphere of calm created at the retirement village. Secondly, the practical aspect, in that face brick never needs to be painted which cuts the cost for body corporates and home owners. Thirdly, as was just touched on, the cost factor. It is an extremely cost effective product, the development is brought to the buyer at market value with maximum growth on investment over time and was sold out during the construction period."
