British Architect Chosen To Design Second Office Tower At WTC Site
POSTED: 1:27 pm EST December 15, 2005
NY Newsday
NEW YORK -- British architect Lord Norman Foster has been chosen to build an office tower at the World Trade Center site, rebuilding officials announced Thursday.
Foster, whose projects include the new Hearst tower in Manhattan, the Beijing airport and the Swiss Re headquarters in London, will build the second of developer Larry Silverstein's five planned office towers at ground zero.
Foster joins a half-dozen architects, including Frank Gehry and Santiago Calatrava, hired since the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks to design different projects at the 16-acre trade center site. A transit hub designed by Calatrava is under construction now.
Construction is scheduled to begin this spring on architect David Childs' Freedom Tower skyscraper. Groundbreaking is also scheduled in spring for a trade center memorial, and Gehry has submitted designs for a performing arts center.
Silverstein hired Foster to build a 2.4-million square-foot tower with ground-level retail space and an underground concourse connecting workers to the new transit hub. Construction on the building is scheduled to begin in 2007. It is scheduled to open in 2011, two years after the Freedom Tower.
The announcement comes as some officials aim to redefine a role at the site for Silverstein, who leased the trade center towers six weeks before they collapsed. Gov. George E. Pataki on Wednesday committed $1.67 billion in tax-exempt bonds to help Silverstein build the two towers on schedule, but gave the developer three months to resolve issues with the site's owner that could involve returning control of other parts of the site.
Silverstein has already rebuilt a 52-story tower overlooking ground zero to replace Seven World Trade Center, a third building that had collapsed on Sept. 11. Until Thursday, he had no signed tenants for either Seven or for the Freedom Tower. But the New York Academy of Science signed a 15-year lease to rent the 40th floor of Seven World Trade, Silverstein said. The space will include a 300-person conference center, and Silverstein said more leases would soon follow.
"I just fervently hope that that building begins to fill up," said John Whitehead, chairman of the Lower Manhattan Development Corp.
Silverstein's press release.
...What is this 200 Greenwich nonsense? ...Some good facts in here, though.

Governor Pataki and WTC Developer Larry A. Silverstein Introduce
Lord Foster during Ceremony at Nearly Completed 7 World Trade Center
Sixty-Five Story Retail and Office Tower to Rise at 200 Greenwich Street
NEW YORK, Dec. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Governor George E. Pataki joined WTC Developer Larry A. Silverstein at 7 World Trade Center today to introduce Lord Norman Foster as the architect commissioned to design the third World Trade Center tower to be constructed by the Silverstein organization since 9/11.
In addition to announcing Lord Foster, Governor Pataki and Mr. Silverstein unveiled the timetable for the design and construction of the sixty-five story tower, which will have a 200 Greenwich Street address.
The 200 Greenwich Street building will be bounded by Vesey Street to the North, Fulton Street to the South, Church Street to the East, and a re-introduced Greenwich Street to the West. It will include 2.4 million square feet of office space and approximately 130,000 square feet of retail both at street level and as part of an underground concourse linking to the PATH transportation hub.
Governor Pataki said, "The World Trade Center had a long history as an international center of commerce and after 9/11 there was a global outpouring of support and solidarity. It is only fitting that one of the international community's most esteemed architects should be chosen to join an already illustrious and international group of men and women working to rebuild and revitalize Lower Manhattan. The selection of Lord Norman Foster to design Tower Two is just the latest signal that the rebuilding of the World Trade Center site is moving forward in achieving its destiny as a world-class central business district. We look forward to seeing his vision for the tower and to commencing construction on the remaining signature projects -- the Freedom Tower and 'Reflecting Absence,' the memorial to our nearly 3,000 lost heroes this spring."
Added Mr. Silverstein, "When I committed the rest of my working life to the World Trade Center, I vowed to build to the very highest architectural, environmental and life safety standards. As he has proven time and again -- from Hong Kong to London to New York City -- Norman Foster understands how to design a bold urban icon while simultaneously enhancing the environment and quality of life of the building's occupants. There is no doubt that he will add yet another remarkable jewel in downtown's skyline."
Lord Foster, the founder and chairman of Foster and Partners, is widely regarded as one of the world's pre-eminent architects. Founded in London in 1967, the company has a worldwide practice, with project offices in more than 20 countries. Over the past four decades the company has been responsible for a strikingly wide range of work, from urban master plans, public infrastructure, airports, civic and cultural buildings, offices and workplaces to private houses and product design.
His current and recent work includes the largest construction project in the world, Beijing Airport. He has also designed the New German Parliament in the Reichstag in Berlin, the Millau Viaduct in France, the Swiss Re tower and the Great Court at the British Museum in London, the Hearst Headquarters tower in New York, Boston Museum of Fine Arts, Research Centers for Stanford University, California, the redevelopment of Dresden Railway Station and a new high speed rail link in Florence.
Both the Hearst Tower and 7 World Trade Center, which was designed by David Childs of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, are scheduled for completion in 2006 and both are expected to be certified as New York City's first "green" skyscrapers by the U.S. Green Buildings Council. Lord Foster's 200 Greenwich Street tower, as well as Childs' Freedom Tower, also are expected to achieve official green status.
According to Mr. Silverstein, another important factor in the selection of Lord Foster is his ability to skillfully and seamlessly blend large, street-level retail into his office projects.
"It is an honor and a tremendous responsibility to play a role in hastening the rebirth of the World Trade Center," said Lord Foster. "When Foster and Partners participated in the LMDC's innovative design study in 2002, we viewed the renewal of the World Trade Center in part as the catalyst for the regeneration of all of downtown Manhattan. The 200 Greenwich Street tower in particular is critical as its street level retail and direct connections to the WTC transit hub will reinvigorate the area with a humanity and a vitality that has been noticeably absent these past four years." Mr. Silverstein also outlined the following timetable for construction of the building:
* Design work, 2006-2007
* Excavation/slurry wall/foundation, 2007-2008
* Superstructure concrete up to ground level, 2008-2009
* Structural steel erection, 2009-2010
* Structural concrete tower core and slab, 2009-2010
* Curtain walls, 2009-2011
* Core and shell work, 2010-2011
* Building opening, 2011
Governor Pataki, Mr. Silverstein and Lord Foster were joined at the announcement by Sir Philip Thomas, the British Consul General in New York. Sir Philip said, "It is fitting that one of Great Britain's greatest architects participate in the World Trade Center project. Our countries have long shared a common bond, and our alliance has only grown stronger since September 11, 2001. I am confident that Lord Foster will produce a stunning design to the credit of both of our countries."

Can't say I am surprised by this decision, given Foster's extremely popular design for twin undulating towers during the design competition.
Waiting with baited breath to see what he comes up with.
Can't believe it won't be done until a decade after the World Trade Center was destroyed but I guess that's the consequence of the lack of coordination at Ground Zero these past 4 and a half years.
This is the one I've been waiting for, even if its a year or two later than expected. I'm sure I won't be disappointed...Originally Posted by MrShakespeare

Norman Foster to design EnCana's Calgary headquarters
Dec. 15, 2005
EnCana Corp., Canada's biggest natural gas producer, has hired British architect Norman Foster to design its new headquarters in downtown Calgary.
London-based Foster and Partners was picked last week as the lead architect for the new headquarters, EnCana spokeswoman Almas Kassam said in a telephone interview yesterday.
Construction is scheduled to start in 2007 and is likely to be completed by 2010.
The proposed complex will be the largest office tower west of Toronto and Canada's highest since the 68-storey Scotia Plaza was built in Toronto 17 years ago. EnCana hasn't revealed the cost of the project. The estimated cost of the project is about $500-million (U.S.).
Mr. Foster's projects include Swiss Reinsurance Co.'s 40-storey tower -- the "gherkin" -- in London's financial district, the new Wembley Stadium in London and Germany's federal Parliament building in Berlin.
In Canada, Foster and Partners has designed the Jameson Tower in Vancouver and the Leslie L. Dan Pharmacy Building at the University of Toronto, according to his website.
Some of Foster's current towers under construction ...
One Central Park
Dubai, UAE 2005-2008
Construction Date: 2005
Completion Date: 2008
The design for 'One Central Park' is located on a prominent corner site within the 'Dubai International Finance Centre'. The 80-storey 328m mixed-use tower, combining 520 luxury apartments with 25 floors of office space, and shops, restaurant, pool, and health club, will have the world's highest apartment.
The eye-catching shape of One Central Park has been generated by a desire to clearly express the structural system and internal organisation of the tower. The upper-level block of apartments - offering the highest residential views in the world - are supported by four attenuated A-frame 'fins' at 27m centres, which are buttressed at each end elevation. 25 levels of column-free office accommodation are held within from these fins, separated from the residential levels by a glazed sky-lobby. The tower is orientated east - west to maximise views over the Finance Centre and to the coastline and desert. This orientation also reduces solar gain, with the building core mass absorbing heat to reduce mechanical ventilation loads. A system of sunshades shelters the interiors on the exposed south elevation.
Jameson Tower
Vancouver, Canada 2004-2009
Construction Date: 2004
Completion Date: 2009
Located in Vancouver's heritage district, the mixed-use residential Jameson Tower is designed to engage with the built fabric of its historic surroundings, and exemplify sustainable living. This project continues Foster and Partners practice of designing contemporary interventions in historic structures that began with the New German Parliament at the Reichstag and the Great Court of the British Museum, and has recently been explored in a high-rise context with the Hearst Tower in New York.
The Jameson Tower project involves restoring the A-listed 1929 Ceperley Rounsfell Building, retaining the facade of the B-listed Chamber of Mines, and adding a new tower with 10 storeys of retail, restaurant and commercial accommodation, and twenty-five storeys of residential accommodation with subterranean parking. The formal massing of the tower refers to its urban setting, in particular, the adjacent 33-storey Terminal City Club tower, and the street-level two-storey heritage buildings.
Repsol Headquarters
Madrid, Spain 2002-2007
Construction Date: 2004
Completion Date: 2007
This new headquarters building for Repsol - the Spanish oil and gas company - continues investigations into the sustainable workplace that can be traced through a family of recent office towers, most notably for Swiss Re and Commerzbank. With this new headquarters, Repsol – for whom the practice also designed new service stations and roadside identity – will be able for the first time to consolidate its 3,600-strong team in one location in Madrid in a building that communicates the company's core values.
The thirty-four-storey building is located on the site of the former Real Madrid training grounds, where the city council has assigned sites for four new towers by international architects.
Regent Place
Sydney, Australia 2003-2007
Construction Date: 2003
Completion Date: 2007
The design for a mixed-use development on George Street in the heart of Sydney will transform this key area into a lively urban quarter where people can live, work and enjoy life in the city. The site, opposite St Andrew's Cathedral and close to the Town Hall, has been vacant since 1989.
The development consists of two towers floating above a 5-storey sandstone podium that contains retail, commercial and leisure spaces. Key design objectives have been to integrate the design of the development's base at street level and to simultaneously establish a successful relationship to the existing historic buildings located around the site. The two towers become increasingly transparent as they rise into the sky and provide a point of reference for the Central Sydney skyline.
The main 56-storey tower consists of a cluster of eight tall, slender smaller towers supported by a central core. This will provide high standard private residential apartments. The second 33 –storey tower houses serviced apartments and recreational spaces.

Silverstein Names Lord Foster, Star Architect, To Build Tower 2
By DAVID LOMBINO, Staff Reporter of the Sun
Developer Larry Silverstein yesterday looked to build momentum for his bid to redevelop ground zero. At a joint press conference with Governor Pataki, Mr. Silverstein named a star British architect, Lord Norman Foster, to design Tower 2, a 65-story office building to stand alongside the Freedom Tower. It is expected to be completed in 2011.
Mr. Silverstein also announced the first lease signing at 7 World Trade Center, the commercial office building that is set to open this spring. The New York Academy of Sciences agreed to a 15-year lease for 40,000 square feet - the entire 40th floor - where it will house its headquarters and a conference center.
Advocates of increased mixed-use development at ground zero, which would include housing, have pointed to a tepid response by potential commercial tenants to the $700 million 7 World Trade Center. Mr. Silverstein has yet to sign any major tenants, although several companies are said to have expressed interest, including China's Vantone Real Estate Company and Ameriprise Financial.
Tower 2, located at 200 Greenwich St., will contain 2.4 million square feet of office space, just 200,000 square feet less than the Freedom Tower. It will also include about 130,000 square feet of retail space at ground level and in an underground concourse that will link to the PATH train transportation hub next door.
The building will fill an entire block bound by Church Street to the east, Vesey Street to the north, the reconstituted Fulton Street to the south, and Greenwich Street to the west.
Mr. Foster's recent projects include the Hearst Corporation's headquarters in Midtown, the Beijing Airport, the German Parliament at the Reichstag in Berlin, the courtyard of the British Museum in London, and the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. He received the prestigious Pritzker Architecture Prize in 1999.
Mr. Foster will join a celebrated list of architects who have signed on to design some part of Daniel Libeskind's master site plan, including Frank Gehry, David Childs, and Santiago Calatrava. In the original contest to determine the designer of the ground zero centerpiece, Mr. Foster's touching twin towers lost out to Mr. Child's design for the Freedom Tower, which is scheduled to begin construction this spring.
Yesterday's announcements closely followed Mr. Pataki's decision on Wednesday to break with the city and give the state's half of the remaining tax-exempt Liberty Bonds to Mr. Silverstein for the construction of the Freedom Tower and Tower 2. The city and state had been working together in their negotiations with Mr. Silverstein over the remaining $3.35 billion.
Mr. Silverstein remains in negotiations with the city over its outstanding allotment of $1.67 billion in Liberty Bonds, with which he plans to finance two more commercial towers at ground zero. But the city has been arguing with the developer over several issues, including a construction timetable and the amount of the developer's fee.
State officials have indicated that the Port Authority has engaged in preliminary discussions with Silverstein Properties over taking back some portions of ground zero, including other building sites. The Port Authority owns the site and leased it to Silverstein Properties for 99 years in July 2001. Mr. Pataki said Wednesday that the Port Authority and Mr. Silverstein have 90 days to conclude their negotiations.
Yesterday, Mr. Pataki said in a statement, "The selection of Lord Norman Foster to design Tower Two is just the latest signal that the rebuilding of the World Trade Center site is moving forward in achieving its destiny as a world-class central business district."
LOAD-DATE: December 16, 2005
Something round -- ala The Swiss Re Tower at St. Mary Axe in London (aka "the gherkin") -- would be great on this site:
Of all the buildings to be built the 2WTC tower will stand alone in the way that others do not. A tricky design complication here is the relationship to the sites / structures which will abut 2WTC, many of which are low rise buildings less than 10 stories: St. Paul's chapel / cemetery directly to the east, the Calatrava transportation center directly to the south, the proposed Cultural Center diagonally across Greenwich St to the SW, the proposed Performing Arts Center directly to the west and the Post Office building directly to the north.

British Architect Returns to Ground Zero
By DAVID W. DUNLAP
Three years after he presented a vision of ground zero with audaciously angled twin towers that touched at three points on their way to a 126-story summit, the British architect Norman Foster returned to Lower Manhattan yesterday to start work on a different World Trade Center skyscraper.
The steel frame of the 65-story building, 200 Greenwich Street, is to begin rising from the northeast corner of the trade center site in 2009. It is to have 2.4 million square feet of offices and 130,000 square feet of stores. Completion is expected in 2011.
Lord Foster, 70, the architect of the new Hearst Tower on Eighth Avenue, between 56th and 57th Streets, revealed nothing of what 200 Greenwich Street might look like.
But he did refer to his earlier involvement with the trade center site. "I was here with my team on 9/11," Lord Foster said, "and so, one year afterwards, when the competition for this site was announced, we felt a sense of moral responsibility to compete and to - as far as we were able - contribute to the task of regenerating this site."
Foster & Partners lost the master planning bid in 2003 to Studio Daniel Libeskind. Now he has been brought back by Larry A. Silverstein, the commercial leaseholder on the site and developer of the 52-story 7 World Trade Center, which is almost finished.
Mr. Silverstein said that the first lease at 7 World Trade Center, for one floor, was signed yesterday morning by the New York Academy of Sciences. The academy will move out of its longtime headquarters at 2 East 63rd Street by September.
After developing 7 World Trade Center, the Freedom Tower and 200 Greenwich Street, it remains to be seen how much else Mr. Silverstein will build at the site. That depends, in part, on whether he can obtain the full $3.35 billion in tax-exempt Liberty Bonds that he is seeking.
On Wednesday, Gov. George E. Pataki tentatively approved $1.67 billion in Liberty Bond financing for the Freedom Tower and 200 Greenwich Street, conditioned on a settlement within 90 days of all the unresolved issues between Silverstein Properties and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which owns the site.
Among the questions are what Mr. Silverstein will receive in development fees, who will pay for the infrastructure under the new trade center, how the retail space will be developed and what will happen to the three remaining development parcels.
Asked yesterday whether another developer should be brought in, the governor said, "We have to be open to every option to see how we can move forward as best as possible."
Despite recent friction between City Hall and Albany over downtown development, yesterday's meeting of the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation board - the first since Mr. Pataki and Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg filled their full allotment of eight directors each - went smoothly, with unanimous votes and amicable comments.
The board authorized contributing a total of $175 million to the World Trade Center Memorial Foundation, for the design and construction of the memorial and memorial museum, and acquiring a property at 140 Liberty Street for $59 million from Milstein Properties, to expand the overall trade center site by one block to the south.
As he opened the meeting, John C. Whitehead, the corporation chairman, discussed the signing of the 40,000-square-foot, 15-year lease by the New York Academy of Sciences on the 40th floor of 7 World Trade Center.
"It sort of breaks the dam and gets the flow of tenants coming to that building," Mr. Whitehead said. "Nobody wanted to be first and only. Now that that first and only has taken place, I just fervently hope that that building begins to fill up."
The academy was founded in Lower Manhattan 188 years ago as the Lyceum of Natural History. Its 63rd Street building, an Italian Renaissance structure, was once home to Norman B. Woolworth, who gave it to the academy in 1949.
The building has been sold for $31.25 million to Len Blavatnik, said the academy president, Ellis Rubinstein.
The academy's new space will include a conference center that can accommodate 300 people at once, Mr. Rubinstein said, or three small events simultaneously. He said he hoped to make the room available to the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation for community use.
The academy has been looking for space for years. In July 2001, Rodney W. Nichols, then the president, said he wanted a building with gravitas. "We're not going to move into one floor of the World Trade Center," he said.
Shown that remark yesterday, Mr. Rubinstein allowed his jaw to drop for a moment, then said, "What we've done is transform in almost every way from where we were then to where we are today."

Nina Ricci Spring 2014: Shock and Gauze
As the first model walked onto the runway of the Nina Ricci Spring 2014 show in Paris, a sheer white curtain began unraveling, following her around the bend. The gauzy backdrop was perfect for Peter Copping's latest collection, which was nearly all white (though in many assembled shades like alabaster, chalk, plaster, and porcelain, to name a few). With an ultrafeminine take on suiting, glittering tweed jackets, and refined accessories — we have our eye on the new signature bag, an envelope clutch with a metal at-the-palm handle, and heels with carved moldings — this offering was modern yet romantic as ever.

Part 3 of this tutorial shows how to pad out your mannequin to fit your cover along with all the finishing details. Listed here are all three parts of this tutorial:
*9-14-12 update: Dress Rite no longer sells full size mannequins. They sell 1/2 scale mannequins now. Sew True sells several kinds of mannequins, professional and "dial" type forms at a reasonable price.
Step One: Pad out with 100% Cotton Batting
You will want to begin with the area that needs the most padding. I began by wrapping midriff, waist, and hip because I knew that these areas would be several inches too small and I would need a bigger base before beginning the precision padding. To do this, I used narrow strips just wide enough to get around the shape with minimal overlap and no gaping. I wrapped in a complete circle about 3/4 times, keeping the batting as tight as I could get it. I used straight pins to keep some areas snug, (but removed them before finalizing the shape). Once the base is good and even all over, it's time for the next step:
Step Two: Precision Padding
Put the cover on the mannequin, pinning the back closed. Step back to see where the figure needs filling out. I identify an area, and start filling in using shapes, such as rectangles, triangles, circles or any odd shape that will fit the section. Begin layering in graduated sizes that will fill in the area to get the desired effect.
|Padding the hip curve with graduating rectangles
|Padding out the tummy area
|Fill in what will become the buttocks
I begin at the shoulders and work my way down the torso, continually replacing and removing the cover to add padding and check the tautness and smoothness as I go.
|Make a silhouette comparison
Keep in mind the silhouette of the figure that you are copying. How much tummy to give? Where to tapper? Are the hips rounded with a larger tummy, or is the hip area more wide and narrow with a flat tummy? Once the silhouette is correct, MEASURE the mannequin to make sure that it matches your measurements in the same places.
Step Three: Finishing Touches
Finish up the mannequin by hand stitching the back closed. To add a neck, I used bias strips and hand stitched it in place. I made an armhole cover like this one:
|I basted the circle, pressed it under. Now it's ready to stitch in place.
|Added a few layers of batting cut into a circle, pinned the cover over it. It's ready to stitch.

Popular NPR Host Hits the Road to Explore
America's Most Revered - And Misunderstood - Document
- Premiering Spring 2013 on PBS -
LOS ANGELES, CA; JULY 21, 2012 -- CONSTITUTION USA with Peter Sagal takes to the road for a fresh and surprising journey through the 4,418 words - and 27 amendments - that made America. Breathing new life into the traditional civics lesson, Peter Sagal, host of NPR's popular "Wait, Wait ... Don't Tell Me" travels across country on a Harley Davidson to find out where the Constitution lives, how it works and how it doesn't ... how it unites us as a nation, and how it has nearly torn us apart.
"The Constitution was, and is, an imperfect document, and its strength lies in the ongoing arguments about its meaning, as much as what's in the original text," Sagal says. "I'm looking forward to digging into this stuff ... And also, getting to ride a motorcycle."
CONSTITUTION USA, a production of TPT National Productions in association with Insignia Films, will premiere on PBS in spring 2013 to coincide with the 225th anniversary of the ratification of the Constitution. It is produced and directed by Insignia Films' Stephen Ives and Amanda Pollak (THE WEST; AMERICAN EXPERIENCE documentaries "Lindbergh," "Seabiscuit," "Las Vegas," "New Orleans" and "Kit Carson") and executive produced by Catherine Allan of Twin Cities Public Television (HOOP DREAMS, LIBERTY! THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION and SLAVERY BY ANOTHER NAME).
At a time when Columbia University polls indicate that more people can identify the Three Stooges than the three branches of government, CONSTITUTION USA sets out to illuminate this remarkably misunderstood document. Traveling from Tyler, Texas, to Missoula, Montana, from Cranston, Rhode Island, to Berkeley, California, Sagal introduces viewers to some of today's major constitutional debates and talks with ordinary Americans and leading constitutional experts about what the Constitution actually says and what it means, the dramatic historical events and crises that have defined it, and why all this matters. Far from being a dry historical survey, CONSTITUTION USA will be a story of personal emotion, passion, big ideas and high stakes that continues today.
"Bringing history alive from multiple viewpoints and offering innovative teaching tools is part of PBS' core mission," said John F. Wilson, PBS senior vice president and chief TV programming executive.

Gonzales aims to follow Miller, Wacha to stardom
First-rounder has chance to learn from others who made quick rise to Majors
JUPITER, Fla. -- Left-hander Marco Gonzales, the Cardinals' top pick in the 2013 First-Year Player Draft, spends his spring days following the footsteps of one former first-rounder and hopeful of taking the path of another.
It all ensures that Gonzales does not have to look far to see the possibilities ahead.
Manager Mike Matheny was intentional in placing Gonzales alongside Shelby Miller in the pitchers' early spring rotations. Miller, a first-round selection four years before Gonzales, took the assignment as an opportunity to "teach him a little something that I learned along the way." Gonzales has sought to be a sponge.
He can also look across the Cardinals' clubhouse to see the bar set by the player taken in the same Draft position (No. 19) one year ahead of him. It was here in Spring Training that Michael Wacha opened important eyes, the first step in his eventual ascent to St. Louis last season.
Gonzales was pitching for Gonzaga University at this time a year ago, but he still knows the rest of Wacha's story quite well. For him, it's a reminder that the organization's decision-makers are constantly evaluating.
"That is what Spring Training is -- getting your foot in the door and trying to stand out among the rest," Gonzales said. "If the Michael Wacha path works out for me, that's great. But that was a once-in-a-lifetime thing for him. I'm really just trying to discover my own path and see where that takes me. All I can do is work hard every day."
Gonzales' impression thus far has been a strong one. Pitching coach Derek Lilliquist was pleased to see Gonzales report to camp "a little strong, a little bigger than we he came to St. Louis [to sign] last year." Once Gonzales started throwing, Matheny quickly noticed the athleticism and deception in his delivery.
Those observations were later corroborated by the hitters who faced Gonzales in his live batting practice session on Saturday. They, too, left impressed.
"The ball was sinking," Matheny said. "[It] got up on them and had a little more jump and life on the end than they anticipated."
Gonzales, 22, won't break camp with the Major League club, though he has the potential to make a quick climb through the system. It wouldn't be the first such accelerated path for Gonzales, who turned himself into a standout pitcher at Gonzaga as a freshman.
Though his fastball (which now sits in the low-90s) was registering in the mid-80s when Gonzales went to play for coach Mark Machtolf, Gonzales arrived with a composure well advanced for someone his age. Perhaps that had something to do with the fact that he had already become something of a legend in the Colorado high school scene. Four times in four years he started and won the 5A championship baseball game.
As a freshman at Gonzaga, Gonzales went on to start 15 games, win 11 of them and become the first player in program history to be named to four West Coast Conference postseason accolades. He went on to become, as Machtolf describes, "the most decorated" player in Machtolf's 11 seasons at Gonzaga.
"He was the one who came right in from the start as a winner and a guy we could count on to win games for us," Machtolf said. "He helped put us on the map. Hopefully in the future, people will realize their dreams can come true by coming to play up in the north. He showed what is possible."
Gonzales passes credit for his professional preparation to a few different places. The lessons came early from his father, Frank, who followed an eight-year Minor League journey with a career in coaching. He is now the pitching coach for the Rockies' short-season affiliate and his son's go-to resource for help.
Then came the seasoning at Gonzaga, where Gonzales said he learned the importance of trusting the process.
"There's always a standard I hold myself to, which was given to me at Gonzaga," Gonzales said. "We might not have been the winningest team in the country, but we were the most competitive and we got after it every day. Just having that instilled in me is a big thing. There is a standard I hold myself to where I leave everything out on the field."
In speaking of that standard, Machtolf said Gonzales "upheld it as well as anybody who has come through our program."
Gonzales' introduction to the next level of competition came after he inked a $1.85 million signing bonus to join the Cardinals last summer. He started in the Gulf Coast League and finished in the more advanced Florida State League. Combined, Gonzales allowed eight runs (seven earned) on 18 hits in 23 1/3 innings. He walked eight and struck out 23.
The Cardinals kept a close eye on Gonzales' workload to make sure he didn't push too hard after being a two-way player in college that spring. That even meant inviting Gonzales to the organization's September instructional league, but not having him throw a pitch while he was there.
"We made a decision that we would give him limited innings to get him relatively sharp, let him get established, let him get his feet under him, but we weren't going to extend it," said Gary LaRocque, the Cardinals' director of player development. "It worked very, very well. He was really great with it, and as a credit to him and how he goes about his work, he embraced it and we moved forward from there. "
The Cardinals will be looser on the limitations in 2014, though the innings count will still be monitored. Consider it similar to what Wacha went through a year ago.
LaRocque said that the organization does not have plans to space out Gonzales' outings early in order to save him for appearances late, but such a schedule can also be altered.
Gonzales isn't thinking too much about that or anything else in the future right now. He's just trying to fit in and get noticed. But if ever he needs a reminder of what could be, he knows just where to look.
"As soon as you get here, I think all labels are dropped and you just become another player on the team," Gonzales said. "I'm so happy to be here. The whole world has flipped upside down in a very good way in the last year. It's crazy to look back and think about where you've been, really where anybody has been in a year.
"And our team is so young. Some of these guys were in my shoes last year. Having them around has been very welcoming. I think that's why it has been so easy to mesh."

Although work experience, a begrudging ritual for tens of thousands of 15 and 16-year olds, is not until late July, some schools have supplemented lessons which teach students how to apply for a placement, with lessons that teach students the art of photocopying and coffee-making.
"It's essential that work experience is just that - work experience," says Mr. Bunton, a year-11 form tutor. "Students need to know that temp jobs, like what they'll go through in July, focus on making sure that youngsters make the coffee or beverage needed by the staff, and photocopying 200 pages of useless crap from a copier two-hundred metres away in another part of the workplace."
Some business leaders welcome the new plans. "Oh yes, this is useful," says Mr. John Cooper, head of an accounting firm in West Birmingham, which will offer 20 placements in July. "Some say we need to emphasis team-work, and life skills, etcetera, oh, and using latin words in common speech, you know - ex nihlo? But really, we're going to do this to 'em anyway, 'cause it's pretty much slave labour. These kids learn priceless skills, and we get some teen to do our stuff that Dave the new guy did. Win-fricking-win."
The course, which is now standard as part of the national curriculum for PSHE/Citizenship, will teach kids two different elements:
- "ESSENTIAL OPERATING" - the on-off buttons, and the fact than you can print off more than ONE COPY at the printer, but they're too apathetic to understand
- "BREWING AND ITS USES" - The reasons why these losers drink the stuff, even though they don't need it
But, for the achieving, there is a third part, just for those who actually need the work experience, because they're most likely to go to university.
- "BEING UNDERVALUED" - Even though you may be on the way to an 'A' in several subject your numbskill seniors, who got by on daddy's money and have worse grades than Jack who sits in the back row, will treat you as shit.
However, there are some students who feel that the work experience idea is just too purile.
"What the hell?" says Ranjit Kapur, 16, who would like to do an sociology major at Coventry University. "If I wanted to do slave labour for two weeks, I could just go to my ancestral home of India and work in a sweatshop for a bit. It'll be more meaningful than copying and coffee, and I'd get better pay."

I realize that the members of the LDS Church are in the minority in the world. We are largely misunderstood and often misrepresented. Overall, it could probably be considered miraculous that we are not persecuted, as the early saints were.
This morning I went up to the main level lobby to pick up someone who was interviewing in our office. Security was escorting a "gentleman" (I'm using the term VERY loosely here) who was dressed all in white--white shirt, pants, sock, and shoes. In addition he was wearing a temple robe and cap. His face was covered in white paint, and he held a statue of the Christus in his hand.
I find people's mockery of sacred things to be terribly, terribly offensive, especially when most of them claim to be Christians. Really? Do they really think Jesus would do something like that?
I work for the Corporation of the President of the Church. I am surrounded by "Mormons," and that doesn't always equate to "Christians." But I have never heard someone mock something that might be sacred in another religion, and certainly not as a public protest.

Thankfully we're all accountable for the choices and actions of ourselves. I'd be willing to be accountable for the WEDGIE choice. I believe it's a good one!

HEY! I saw that guy as I was getting on the bus. He was over on the corner by the temple. I was so confused and hoped that I was not seeing what I thought I was seeing. You know...I feel the same about situations like that. Then I feel sad for them. They have no idea what they are doing. NO IDEA. I think of the Savior on the cross when he said "forgive them for they know not what they do". I feel bad for them when they stand before the Lord one day having done something so incredibly stupid, selfish, and displaying such mockery of God. And then I think, one day... they will know what Hell feels like. Because to me... standing before the Lord after having done something like that, would be hell.

If you are thinking of applying to be Forest green coordinator, this is the stuff you need to know about:
This is currently one of the main things. We have been recycling for a long time, and it is one of the main ways in which we can claim to be environmentally responsible (more so than other cafes, perhaps).
The recycling needs to get done regularly. Maire and Arianne are two of the people who help to do this. It generally gets done. The main consideration with recycling is trying to make sure people know what to do with the different types of waste, and making sure the recycling area stays reasonably clean and organised.
The composting is being put on hold for the summer as we don't want to have to deal with vast amounts of fruit flies like last year. Jonathan generally looks after compost. Main consideration is making sure that we do not infringe any health & safety laws. Long term, we should try to find a good way of using/distributing our compost as we are unlikely to ever need it all ourselves.
We have very high energy bills. Cutting them down is a major challenge. We are currently applying to Good Energy to try and get a supply of clean, green energy instead of fossil fuel stuff. It would be good if we could be more economical with water as well.
Efficiency is perhaps the most serious area of Forest green-ness. I think in the long term we really need improvement in this area.
The garden is something we've never figured out what to do with. Obviously, we would like to grow stuff, but it is fairly unrealistic to hope that we can produce anything genuinely useful.
Garden strategy will probably now have to wait until after we have had our new fire exit staircase installed at the back of the building. When this is done, we can think about how to make best use of our garden. This would possibly mean a small area for growing - wherever the sunlight falls, possibly using glass - and other functional things such as water collection, compost and possibly even a sheltered place for Forest people to sit outside and chill together.
This is the area of Forest environmentalism that I would like to keep for myself. I have updated the green info on our website and established the enviromation board downstairs for paper stuff. I will continue to devise ways of spreding the green message and trying to increase involvement in the wondrous joys of protecting and caring for our beautiful planet.
Forest environment coordinator is a committee position. The person doing it will not have to attend committeee meetings, but should do so when there is serious stuff to consider. All major developments in the Forest need to be discussed at committee level, obviously.
I will still be around to offer help/guidance if it is needed.
If you are interested in taking up this post, please email me:

- A mix of Sulky 40 Wt. Rayon Thread
- Sulky Sticky + Stabilizer
- OESD's Sew Vintage Collection, Wild Flora Collection, Native America 2 Collection
- Brother SE1800 Sewing & Embroidery Machine
DIY instructions:Begin by cutting samples of medium weight cotton fabric that measure 2" over the hoop size you plan to use for the art. I stabilized the fabric with Sulky's Sticky + Stabilizer. I wanted the designs to pop and have a smooth, shiny finish so I went with Sulky's 40 Wt. Rayon thread. The embroidery was done using my Brother SE1800 Sewing and Embroidery machine. The designs were from OESD (see above for each individual collection).
You don't have to have a fancy embroidery machine to achieve this. You can use hand embroidery or free motion like I did for this Coco Chanel Design.
*In collaboration with Sulky.

Let me tell you about water works, it was a sight to see. Lots of people wrote in to say good luck and that they'd be watching. A lot of my university friends watched at crazy hours of the morning to see the game live.It's nice having so many wonderful people who care back home. Someone asked me if it was everything I thought it would be, without a doubt yes, but more. Even though we lost, there was something in the air, just an energy that was such a great feeling, and well, I can't wait to play Ghana tomorrow, as it should be a good match. We can't take anyone lightly at this point.Besides that, life is good. We leave Hangzhou soon and head to Chengdu, that's after the match. It's also supposed to rain, which will add a new dimension for the game for sure. Well, I need to rest up before the big match.Until next time.Erin McLeod Previous Next

Wearing Star Barrettes
I ache for the landscape of the Mojave desert, even when I'm standing in the middle of it. Whenever I'm here, there's a constant hovering awareness that I'm going to have to leave and it seems to manifest as a free-floating sense of longing. I guess it's the price I pay for having found a little corner of this planet where I can see myself living as an old woman, in some fantasy Georgia O'Keefe-esque existence.
We had six people out here in Joshua Tree for the weekend, all of us helping to shoot the video for Scott's song "Pretty," (yes, like my book) which he'll be releasing soon. That's a pic of DJ Mendel directing, Kaz Phillips-Safer shooting and Anais Bjork supplying the gorgeousness. T and I were production assistants: making coffee runs, doling out sunblock and, most importantly, digging for fossils. Because no video shoot is complete without a paleontologist on set.
Overall it was a fun adventure, but T was frankly a real pain all weekend. Change is hard for him and he gets tremendously anxious in unfamiliar environments. He refused to let daddy out of his sight for even a second, so we wound up just baking in the sun on set for hours instead of going to Pioneertown to see the cowboys. He also refused to go to sleep, which is annoying, but more importantly it makes me feel sad for him. He's just a little boy; I want to world to be less scary. I want him to feel safer and not like he has to control everything. I also want to be two inches taller and speak fluent French, but that ain't gonna make it true.
After we were done with the video, Scott took T home and left me alone up here for a couple of days to get some uninterrupted work done on my book proposal (I know- he's pretty much awesome). It's wildly gorgeous and the wind is rattling the windows. The stars are so low that I'm wearing them as barrettes. I'm eating cereal for dinner because I can. I love the freedom and solitude and yet I miss my little boy something fierce.
It occurred to me last night as I was sitting in the hot tub and watching the sun set over the desert, that if I could travel back in time twenty years and whisper in my teenage ear: You're going to be an author and have a wonderful husband and a firebrand, amazing child and you're going to get to travel a lot and one night you're going to find yourself alone in a hot tub in the desert, looking up at a glowing pink sky, I would have thought, That's a pretty f-ing cool life. But I forget about that and from the inside, it gets to just be a big anxiety stew, with scattered moments of gratitude and joy. From the inside, it always feels like aching for something even as I'm standing right in the middle of it. It's important to have the moments when you say- this is all right. In fact, it's all I ever wanted.

This made me cry. We should all whisper to our teenage selves.
Great blog post. Love the star barrettes and the hot tub moment 🙂
Love this post, and you too.
Love your writing. Please never stop.
That last paragraph has me bawling. I need to whisper to my adult self as much as my teenaged self.
Beautiful post. Why is it so hard to just stop and enjoy the moment?

This is the first issue of a twelve-issue miniseries, with each issue tackling one of the Doctor's incarnations. Here's your look at how the IDW crew tackle the First Doctor:

Our proposal
We propose transforming our lives by working with others, supporting each other and sharing experiences as we move in a common direction. The basic requirement here is to form working groups called Communities of the Message that meet either virtually or in person to share thoughts, feelings and experiences related to Silo´s Message.
If you really feel the need to change your life or explore a life situation in depth, the first step is to share this interest with others in your immediate environment - at least three people from among your family, friends, co-workers, etc. - and form a community dedicated to these issues.
The second step is to set in motion:

A comprehensive and systematic investigation on the diffusion and phase behaviors of nanoparticles and macromolecules in two component liquid-liquid systems via Molecule Dynamic (MD) simulations is presented in this dissertation. The interface of biphasic liquid systems has attracted great attention because it offers a simple, flexible, and highly reproducible template for the assembly of a variety of nanoscale objects. However, certain important fundamental issues at the interface have not been fully explored, especially when the size of the object is comparable with the liquid molecules. In the first MD simulation system, the diffusion and self-assembly of nanoparticles with different size, …

Six Free Things for People Affected by Hurricane Sandy
Here's some free stuff for people affected by Hurricane Sandy.
Nov. 1, 2012 -- intro: While businesses have been warned against illegal price gouging as a result of Hurricane Sandy, the disaster has also led to stories of generosity.
Millions are without power in the Northeast as city and state officials scramble to equip shelters with power and food.
Citizens and the private sector are pitching in, offering discounted hotel rates for first responders in some places while banks are waiving fees for victims. Bank of America, Citi, Wells Fargo and TD Bank are among the firms waiving things like overdraft fees for a limited time.
Hurricane Sandy: Full Coverage
Here are six things people in affected areas of Hurricane Sandy can get for free for a limited time:
quicklist: category: title: Free wi-fi service media: 17619708 text:
Comcast announced it will allow anyone to access Xfinity wi-fi hot spots in several states affected by Hurricane Sandy.
The service, which is normally available to paid subscribers, is available in Maine, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New Hampshire, Delaware, Washington, D.C., Virginia, West Virginia and Massachusetts.
Non-Xfinity customers should search for the "xfinitywifi" network name and click on the "Not a Comcast subscriber?" link at the bottom of the Sign In page. Then select the "Complimentary Trial Session" option from the drop down list.
Comcast said users will be able to renew their complimentary sessions every two hours through the end of November.
Hotspots are located indoors and outdoors in public places, such as shopping centers, parks and train platforms, according to the company. Comcast said complimentary wi-fi service may not be available in partner wi-fi hotspot locations.
You can visit www.xfinity.com/wifi for locations.
quicklist: category: title: Free showers, workouts media: text:
Beginning on Wednesday, Town Sports International network of gyms have opened its doors for full use of its facilities, "whether it's the need for a hot shower, to charge a cell phone battery, or simply to recharge their batteries with a stress-relieving workout" until Nov. 14.
The Town Sports International network has 160 locations including New York Sports Clubs, Boston Sports Clubs, Washington Sports Clubs and Philadelphia Sports Clubs.
To find a club near you, residents 18 or older must show a photo ID. They can visit www.mysportsclubs.com to see if there is a nearby open facility.
The company said guests are encouraged to bring their own towels due to restricted towel delivery.
quicklist: category: title: 11-Year Old's Pop-up Internet Cafe media: 17619194 text:
Lucy Walkowiak, 11, of Hoboken, N.J. opened up a pop-up internet cafe so people can charge their mobile devices and contact loved ones. While they are there, people can also give donations to the Red Cross.
Walkowiak set up shop in front of her home in Hoboken, open from 7:30 A.M. until 10 P.M. on Wednesday and continuing Thursday.
"I was just happy to help all the people without power in my community because so many people don't have power," she told ABC's Good Morning America. "And we were one of the lucky ones who had power all through the hurricane. So we just decided to donate some of our power to people who have not had power for days and need to charge up their phones and other electronics."

Brightbox, Inc., a New York City startup that usually charges a flat fee to charge your mobile device in public places, has set up free charging stations in Manhattan.
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced that AT&T will also bring pods that provide cell coverage and charging stations near the city's food distribution centers.
quicklist: category: title: Free subway and bus rides media: 17619496 text: New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced free subway, bus and commuter rail services on Thursday and Friday to encourage the use of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's mass transit. New York City is still reeling from limited subway service due to flooding.
quicklist: category: title: Free car rides media: text: Mayor Bloomberg has limited traffic into the city as non-operating traffic lights have led to major jams, allowing only cars with three passengers or more onto four East River bridges into Manhattan through Friday. There are reports of some desperate solo drivers who are driving into Manhattan offering free rides to pedestrians and even bicyclists.

Billboard has named P!nk their 2013 Woman of the Year. During their Women in Music luncheon this week, the pop star spoke about her hope that her ball-busting career has made it easier for little girls who feel like they are different. She also said "fuck" a lot, to which her mother applauded. I love Alecia Moore and her family, yo.
In Billboard magazine, P!nk was also interviewed and asked the obligatory "What does it feel like to be a woman in music today?" question and her answer was pretty great.
It's never been a disadvantage for me. I love being a woman. I love women in music—I love the whole idea of it, I love the cycle of it, I love the different decades of it. One of my greatest advantages was just being myself when I first came out. And then being so polar opposite of every other female that was happening at that moment.
I think it's incredible women are running sh*t. There's not really any males that are at the level of the Beyoncés and the Katy Perrys, except maybe Justin Timberlake. I can't really think of anybody else.
Billboard: Maybe Adam Levine?
Yeah, but still it's not the same thing. So it's really fun to see women just stomp sh*t, drop the microphone and leave. They just keep doing it and I love watching it. And I love what I've been able to do, too. Over the years, the rises and falls. I remember early on Roger telling me, or maybe it was L.A. [Reid]—I can't remember; they're like my two guys—but [they talked about] the roller coaster.
If you're around long enough to have major failures and major success, it's all good. The roller coaster of it at the end is all good. And I look back and I'm like, "Yeah, I've been around, for a pop person, a while." And it has been a roller coaster and it's all good.
I've proven myself as a performer and a touring person. As far as winning a popularity contest or any of the other sh*t, or being a radio darling and all that, probably not. [It's] probably never going to happen for me, but that's OK. Because I can tour for the rest of my life—and I do it well.
"Watch What Happens Live" host Andy Cohen moderated P!nk's live Q+A during the Billboard Women in Music luncheon, watch below:

We have talked about ballerina parties before (HERE), but I don't think we could ever have too much tulle and ribbon around here. I found some fun new additions to ballet and ballerina inspired parties… and I have some featured items from the Diva Entertains shop too! Here are some random ballet inspired ideas…
First, from pinterest (because I can't find the original source), a super cute idea for forks at the ballerina party place settings:
From Kate Landers Events, a seriously AMAZING post about a Nutcracker Suite party. Did I say amazing?
Get FABULOUS ballet slipper cookies from our Diva Entertains shop:
I also fell in love with these ballet cupcakes from Cute Food. Although there isn't a tutorial the comments under the post hints at how they can be decorated. Personally I would print a picture of it and take it to my supermarket bakery and ask if they could recreate them – I do this all the time!
Another fun decor idea, again from pinterest (and I can't find the original source on this one either, but it's too cute to not share)… I don't think this would be too difficult with some poster board and tulle and ribbon!
And how about some white chocolate covered oreos, with a gorgeous ballet design… from the Diva Entertains shop:

Professor of Psychology
A basic sense of self depends on the processing of sensory and motor signals that accompany almost every bodily activity. My research attempts to explain why and how percepts of action and bodily states are so clearly and inexorably "mine". Sensory events related to one's own body (e.g. touch) are said to be characterized by a sense of body-ownership, and motor events generated by one's own body (e.g. actions) by a sense of agency.
The main focus of my research is to empirically identify the basic neurocognitive principles governing the sense of agency and body-ownership, and the interaction between them.
My research is inter-disciplinary, based on neuroscientific and psychological experimental paradigms as well as on neurophilosophical approaches to selfhood.

What can separate a good experience when you buy something on line form a bad one is how the seller handles the problem when something goes wrong. Speaking from personal experience" the golf clearance outlet"accepts responsibility and rectifies the problem in the most professional manner and as quick as any reasonable person can expect in my case a replacement part was on its way the same day I pointed out [with pics] what the hassle was I have no hesitation saying buyers are in good hands when such a positive professional attitude/approach is shown.
George McCarthy
I just want to thank you for the service you provide. Like all golfers, when i buy new golf equipment I want to use soon as soon as I can. Your service is second to none. I will buy all my gear from you, I get want I want and I get it quick! Thanks again!
Craig Ward
This was my first order with you guys and I am impressed how fast your delivery was. Ordered online about 8pm Monday night and pick up at the post office after work Wednesday 4pm, fantastic. It is a bit of a gamble when ordering shoes to get the right size but the information re; shoe size that is provided is spot on. They are a very nice fit. I don't buy a lot of golf gear but I will be telling my mates about my positive experience and I will certainly be buying again when I need something else. Well done!
Hi there, I just wanted to say thank you for your service, really was first class. I had to make a few changes to my order, that was made easy. I was expecting the clubs to get here next week but arrived today and the value for money was even better then ebay etc. All from an Australian business. Well done.
Chris Yared
Hi there, I just wanted to say thanks for the INCREDIBLY quick delivery! I ordered a couple of items for my husband's birthday hoping that they would arrive in time (2 weeks) and I received them in less than 48 hours. The delivery fee was very reasonable too. Will definitely be shopping with you guys again (my golf obsessed husband will be very glad to hear that too!)
Claudia Donaldson
Hi Guys, I'm not in the habit of leaving reviews, but I really have to commend your team on the great service you provide. I can't believe how fast you are and still have never forgotten any item in my order. Unlike one of your competitors out there, whom after 3 and half weeks of waiting, have forgotten an item. I guess I took good service for granted, never again. By the way, thank you for upgraded item at no extra charge because the other wasn't in stock.
Nathaniel O'Haire
I can't resist a sale so on Wednesday I made an order and on Thursday afternoon I returned from golf to amazingly find a box on the verandah. 24 hour turnaround!!

Phil here and I would like to thank you and your staff for a fantastic service. I ordered two flip and go buggies online on a Monday the 15/04/13 and they were delivered the next day at 9.30 am. A second request from me was for a drink holder for the buggies and wow you replied straight away and had one waiting for me. Anthony, Again thank you as it is hard now days to find excellent service as good as you give your customers.

Got the new wheels today for my Flip n Go Golf Buggy. Thank you so much for your understanding and quick response to the issue. You have certainly proved yourselves a company that holds it's customers in high regards and value them. You have secured my future business and will continue to shop at Golf Clearance Outlet. Once again thank you.

I just wanted to say thank you for overnighting a Taylormade driver and Cleveland putter to me on the Gold Coast when I was on holidays. I could not have played The Glades and The Palms without the right equipment. Your service was first class and the pricing can't be beat, not even from the US!
Thank you for the item, very nice indeed! Did you have superman deliver?? quickest delivery by far!!

Luke Wearn
I'd like to commend your team on the awesome help I had from them when trying to order my new clubs! I simply sent an e-mail through asking about how to go about a Direct Debit payment, I gave them a call and Andrew was more than happy to help me out! I ordered the CG16 irons, they are absolutely amazing, such a nice look in the chrome, I highly recommend them if you're on a bit of a budget like me! The clubs and bag took just over a week to come, but seeing as though it was between Christmas when i ordered and received them I could understand. I am extremely happy with the GCO, will definitely be shopping here again!
Thanks heaps guys
