Green Design
New York Academy of Sciences, founded in 1817, is a federally funded organization uniting scientists from around the world to advance the understanding of science, technology and medicine. Our firm constructed the Academy's 40,000sf office, comprised of a 300-person auditorium with state-of-the-art audio/visual technology, a boardroom, 10,000sf conference space, office spaces and an art-exhibition gallery.
The design maximized the use of sustainable products including 100% recycled workstation panels, 40% recycled material carpeting and zoned heating and cooling. The space also benefits from the floor-to-ceiling windows, capitalizing on the natural lighting. The overhead lighting is controlled with motion and light sensors and is often not needed on a sunny day. Shades were installed on the south side of the floor to shade the facility as necessary.
Working in the occupied 52-story building in busy downtown New York City, our staff left no stone unturned when addressing the issue of safety. A site-specific safety plan mapped out our firm's approach to keeping all project teams, building tenants and passing pedestrians safe at all times. Appropriate signage and temporary walkways were constructed to protect those passing outside the building. Materials were transported via the freight elevator so as to not interfere with the busy traffic of building employees.

Feb. 22: Google is letting a larger segment of the public test its futuristic eyeglasses.
Yesterday, Google said it was accepting applications for people who wanted to try the glasses, which had previously been available only to software developers who signed up for them at Google's developer's conference last year.
Google also released a few details about the glasses, which it calls Google Glass, some of which it had already publicised. They can take pictures or record video hands-free, show walking directions, search the Web and send messages by voice, offer translations and show alerts like a flight delay.
People who want a pair of the glasses before they are publicly available must apply by February 27 by writing a post on Google Plus or Twitter of 50 words or fewer with the hashtag #ifihadglass.
"Applicants can include photos or video and an explanation of what they might do with the glasses. We're looking for bold, creative individuals who want to join us and be a part of shaping the future of Glass," the company posted on Google Plus.
Those chosen by Google's judges must pay $1,500 for the glasses and attend a pick-up event in New York, San Francisco or Los Angeles.
In a video released yesterday, Google offered some of its own ideas about what to do with the glasses. A ballerina could stream live video behind the scenes and onstage, a tourist in Thailand could ask Google to translate "delicious" while eating noodles on a boat or a family could video chat with a long-distance relative on her birthday.

Butterick 6740 – best shirt ever!
Monday, June 11th, 2012Hullo Everyone!
Why look, I have a sewing post – at last! It's not the one I intended to write about today…that didn't happen because yesterday the batteries for the camera went flat as I was about to take pics. And then I found a lipstick stain on my dress. Bummer! So now it's in the wash and I'm showing you Butterick 6740 (view A) instead.
This pattern isn't mine – I borrowed it off my epically stylish best friend > Brand New Armour so I could make it for her. And then I made myself one. And then I will make her another – cos it's such a neat pattern.
It's SO easy to make – even though it came with no instructions, you don't really need them. The envelope tells you enough – the neckline gathers into a band which ties to make a bow. The sleeves I faced with bias tape (blue satin in this instance) and they are all cut in one with the bodice.
My fabric is a poly cotton blend found at Savers. It's nice and lightweight and has just the right amount of body. That said, you could make this shirt in a lot of different weights. The one I made for my friend is much lighter and slightly sheer.
I made a few teeny changes….brought the bust in a bit because this one is big for me and even then it has TONS of ease. The neck band needs to be twice as long!! YES. I don't know what kind of skinny necks chicks in the 5o's had but if you followed the pattern, you'd be strangling yourself and not even have enough to make a nice looking bow.
The buttons are amazing blue cut glass – possibly from the 30′s. These came from Etsy and I just love them. The colour is such a vivid and deep blue.
Comes together in a couple of hours…And so flattering. I do need to make more for others – share the love….The variations are endless for this. You could even do a contrast neck band. Or make it out of something quite slinky.
Check out my shoes too. I am so in love with these. They are Miss L Fire (of course), with little raffia flowers on them and a carved wooden heel. I also tried to do something with my hair – only just passed as a moderate success….maybe. I suck at hair! Must keep practising. I saw a girl at a cafe yesterday with an amazing green coat and a fluffy grey fox around her neck – she had long black hair and bangs….I think I want a fringe…Maybe. But it's one of those things that if it doesn't work out, you have to live with the blah for months til it grows out. Anyways – the length is getting better….It needs a trim but I will wait a bit longer.
Other news: I have a drawing to post but I'm a bit blah about that too. Might put it up during the week with the final Drawing Salon class results.
The green coat is coming along nicely (check Facebook for a preview). I'm at a standstill now…next week is payday so I will buy some more green wool for the facings and sleeve (I am thinking of re-cutting so they aren't tapered like in the pattern)…shame about all the wastage of the amazing fabric *sad face*. I've put all the seams together apart from the side ones. Which is a good thing because I've decided it definitely needs pockets – what kind of coat doesn't have pockets? – so I will use Tasia's Cambie Dress pockets and insert them in my side seams. This should be pretty easy. Except I need to make them out of the lining fabric. Which I don't have yet. I've been looking for an interesting rayon stripe but not had much luck. I might just go with a solid colour.
Do you think a rayon lining is a good idea or should I go with silk?
I don't want anything too thin – my current winter jacket (RTW) has got the crappiest lining that is literally falling apart and it's only in it's second season. I know a lot of clothes are 'throw-away' these days but is it too much to expect all the components of one garment to at least have the same life span? The outside is fine and holding up beautifully, but each mend I make on the lining, the next day there is another tear. GRR!
So yeh, I want something that's going to last as long as my coat will. Ideas?
Erm – I probably have more to ramble about but it's time to hit the sewing machine…

Nothing counts that occurred before the Ambage. That may change at a later date, but for now, that's the rule.Actually a quick question about that. Let's say I've done some of these things before the Ambage got started, like writing five CoT stories. Do I count that in? Or should I count only the CoT Stories I've written after the Ambage began? Same with reviews and such?

You posted on the fifth--this is the sixth . . . well, I guess that counts as a later date. Your personal record starts the day you joined the Ambage--or the BAG. As an example, Larxene there can't count anything except stories, reviews, et cetera that she posted yesterday or today. As another example, Velox and I can go back to May 19th. BAG members can find their date here.Nothing counts that occurred before the Ambage. That may change at a later date, but for now, that's the rule.Actually a quick question about that.

I don't mean literally write about a character dreaming. You may, but what I'm asking you to do is to take one of your dreams--you sleep every night, so you're bound to have on soon or late--and use it in your story, or base your story entirely upon it.

Challenge #4
Your Challenge: Learn from: MusicA writer can get inspiration from anywhere and everywhere. A writer should study and explore all facets of life. A writer should be open to learn from anything and everything, for there is no end to what we can learn from the world. Knowledge is illimitable, as are its sources.What I want you to do is to learn from music, and incorporate those lessons into your writing. Music can have tone, beat, rhythm; words can take on all these same characteristics, and not just in song or verse. Words are your tools; let them be your instruments as well.You might think I want you to write a songfic, but it's not as simple as that. I don't want you to write alongside music, but with it. Write to the notes and to the melody. Let your reader hear the music in your words, without hearing it in a pair of headphones.There is little technicality I can lend here to the qualifications, but I'll set what parameters I can. For one, I would prefer it if you stuck to prose. Sognfics are absolutely fine, and in fact I will encourage you to not only incorporate the words, but to work with them, to write with them to the music. Beyond that, I can only instruct you to select a musical piece and listen to it on an endless loop until you're sick of it, but more importantly that you have finished writing your story to the tune.Now beat it, tune your pencils or keyboards, and strike up a verbal orchestra!Story Starter:"Do re me fa so la ti do . . ."Ameliorate Your Privy Lexis:
segue v. to make a transition without interruption from one activity, topic, scene, or part to another
cadence n. 1 : a a rhythmic sequence or flow of sounds in languageb : the beat, time, or measure of rhythmical motion or activity2 : a falling inflection of the voice, as at the end of a sentence.3 : the modulated and rhythmic recurrence of a sound, especially in nature
coda n. 1 : a concluding part, as of a literary or dramatic work2 : something that serves to round out, conclude or summarize and usually has its own itnerest
tattoo n. a rapid rhythmic rappingv. trans. to beat or rap rhythmically on: drum onv. intrans. to give a series of rhythmic taps
Due in four weeks; next challenge will be posted in two (and still two more weeks to enter the previous challenge!)

Your Challenge: GladnessI think it is because sadness is the easiest emotion to portray. It is the most convenient emotion to explore. And, perhaps, it is the most relieving to put down on paper.But this week, let's not relieve ourselves of burdens, let's not pour out our sorrows or create sorrows for the hearts of our characters just for our cruel amusement. This week let's cheer ourselves, our characters, and our readers. Let's dive into happiness and sound its depths. This week let's not write because we're sad . . . let's write because we enjoy it, because we're glad to write.Let's harness the power of joy and respect its importance, and let's reflect that in our writing. Let's be happy!

By Ambage rules though, you're still allowed to log any writing-based activity that qualifies you for achievements as far back as your join date (June 27). Besides, why pass up the chance to see if you're eligible for a Review Token? -CedI'll wait for my achievments, since I haven't really done anything in the Ambage thus far... it begins NOW.-ibrow

Fair enough. And Ambage skype write offs are each Saturday and Sunday usually around 9 PM, EST.-CedNah, I only have like two achievments anyway. =P Hence why I'm willing to just wait.Also, the skype stuff is on Saturdays, correct? If so, I won't be able to make it this week.-ibrow

November Writing Prompt
"The wind died suddenly, as if ashamed of its late ferocity and the damage it had wrought."
Feel free to use that exact quote, or let it inspire you to write something else related.
Also, there have been two changes in the Achievements:We understand that you may not want to or be able to (i.e., to comply with BZP's guidelines) post your NaNoWriMo novel on BZPower, but you still deserve to receive the points for it.The Daunting Task - Post an epic or participate in NaNoWriMo. (15 Points)See it Through to the End - Finish an epic or complete NaNoWriMo. (45 Points)
I don't think substantial applies to an epic (pretty sure it's just "start one" and "finish one"), but for Comedy: it'd just have to be over 1000 words, if it's a single-post story, or several chapters. Let's say 3.First things first: what is a "substantial" comedy or epic? Do you just mean multi-chapters and completed?

If it's crap ... We'll tell you
Welcome to
The Spill Movie Community
Again, this is something I have been thinking about for the last few months and needed to vent out there. This might turn into a rant midway but I will say none of the following is directed at anyone at Planet Tyro.
Okay, possibly the biggest and mostly tired argument of anime out there is whether debating on an anime that of the original Japanese version of an anime versus an English dub of the same one. Now, personally, I prefer my anime to be dubbed but I'm not opposed to watch it in sub. As a matter of fact, sometimes I'll watch an anime that might never be dubbed or isn't dubbed now. For example, I watched Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt before the FUNimation dub came to existence and thought it was an okay show (that you shouldn't show to a newcomer of anime) despite what everybody else thought of that and I have to keep up on what they were saying. When the dub came out earlier this month, my opinion of the dub is…….it was like any decent dub you see out there and yes, it didn't feel any different from the original language version but it isn't always supposed to be the same, right? But yeah, I did like the dub of PSG not just because of me understanding it better or it features two recent favorite FUNimation voice actresses I like (Jamie Marchi & Monica Rial) but it never stray far from what it is.
Another subbed anime I recently watched was Kids on The Slope and I have explained on the PT chatbox, which is now buried under the other comments, on why I love this show so much and this is what should be dubbed nowadays (which it will, but I have ye of little faith @ Sentai Filmworks and their dub director Stephen Foster – look him up) and frankly that might the reason why because the anime that US distributors picked are mostly either the ones with the most ridiculous ideas and the silly premise. Ex: Cat Planet Cuties.
Then again, I have only seen 2 episodes of CPC (originally titled Asobi ni Iku yo!) on YouTube so I can't judge the anime as a whole but so far, it's something to please the ones with a cat girl fetish…not that there's anything wrong with that. Most people that are non-anime fans look at that as why did I get into this again?
Now, on dub haters, I have heard that they think every dub is inferior to the original Japanese, even the ones that people describe as being better than the sub. Yes, there has been bad anime dubs from the 80s', 90s', even in the present day and maybe in the future but really, all of them? Okay, I get personal preference but I bet none of them would say that if they watched the original Japanese version of an anime……..with no subtitles!!!! No, really, I dare somebody to watch a Japanese dub of an anime with no subtitles and see how smug they are the next time around. But I'm not harping on subtitles since I use them myself, even on English dubbed anime and regular movies.
But recently what I really hate about dub haters is the comments I read during the English-dubbed trailer of Puella Magi Madoka Magica. Most of them are bashing the dub mostly based on that clip, thinking that the whole thing is going to be bad without even watching an episode of the dub format. You just can't judge a dub anime without even giving it a chance.
Now I will eventually watch the show in dub format and will tell you about it after I'm done with it (but not as a review format) and I can tell you this, I wouldn't be quick to judge the voice actors of this, mainly because I think most of them are newbies, just getting into the voice acting game, as far as I know. But, seriously, if you watched the dub of that and last the whole series, then you can tell me if the dub was good or not.
Well, that's all I got to say about this.
Also, this video by GiggukAZ should help my opinion about this. Plus, it's my favorite video of his.
So, what do you think of this discussion here? Let me know about your interpretation about this.
Tags: Attack the Schlock, anime, dubs, subs, vs.
Ugh, I despise people that bitch on English dubs when they can clearly watch the show in Japanese with subtitles. They should just shut up, swallow their stupidity and give the dubs a chance. But I'm afraid that will never happen for a long time, they will be more dubs haters around and we can't do nothing to stop them.
I think some time people people might wise up eventually.....even if it takes long.
ALSO: Now that I put the Cat Planet Cuties clip on there, now I have a desire to watch it......for some other personal purposes.
Yeah,Cat Planet Cuties... I saw the DVD set and I was like "the fuck is this?
Believe me, calling it weird doesn't do it justice. I am watching it to review, and I am kind of creeped out, I feel bad for some reason, lol.
If people want to be narrow minded, it's their loss - I won't lose any sleep over it. Personally I give the edge to dubs, but there are plenty of subs I've enjoyed. Some I think are better than their dubbed versions, and others don't have dubs and don't really need them for that matter. But still, if they went ahead and dubbed them, I'm not gonna hate. Why all the hate? Just chill.
As for that Madoka Magika trailer, it's really smart how they make it out to look all cute and innocent, but surely someone is gonna watch it and think "Hey, this looks like something my daughter would like" and then go out and actually buy it for her.

Making the transition from crib to bed - helping your babies make the big leap

I'm pretty sure this picture was taken yesterday:
Newborn triplets: Kev, Dec and Mac snuggle up together |
But, it wasn't. As it turns out, this picture was taken over three and a half years ago, when Kevin, Declan and Cormac first came home from the hospital. They were four days old. They shared a crib. For months. And, in what feels like the blink of the eye, they now sleep here:
"Big Boy Beds" aka crib mattresses on floor! |
They made the big move last weekend and I have to say, it was a long time coming. Not in the literal sense -- it's not like I spent months prepping them for the big move, reading books about the transition or frankly, designing the ideal sleep space or investing in the perfect bedroom set (as the picture will clearly attest!). When I say it was "a long time coming", I mean that our little fellas have been climbing out of their beds for a long time. They have been asking for beds. They told us they were ready and finally, we listened.
Don't get me wrong. They weren't unhappy in their cribs. Quite to the contrary, they loved them. They had all their stuffed animal "friends" in there -- many of whom they played catch with from crib to crib. They would climb out in the morning, enjoying the independence and freedom to get their own Cheerios but, much to our surprise (and delight!), they never climbed out at night. When they were in, they were in for the night. And we all had sweet dreams.
Then, on Saturday night, everything changed. We set them free. We broke down those cribs, made their "beds" with new sheets and pillows, said a prayer, and hoped for the best. This is what happened:
If you watched the video, I hope it gave you the laugh out loud it gives me every time I look at it. And if you didn't, you may want to. It is pure joy. Three little fellas, 3 1/2 years old, pushing the limits as little fellas are prone to do. They are free and they are happy. There is no doubt they have outgrown their cribs and are ready for beds. Just as there is no doubt that for the next week or so (or possibly more!), the bedtime "routine" will be anything but. On Sunday night, they were so tired that they were all sweetly snoozing by 8:00. Last night, I had to shut down a rather rowdy game that was a cross between Hopscotch and Three Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed at 9:00. So, I suppose if I have a few tips to share on the overall transition from cribs to beds, they would be:
- Listen to your children, they will tell you when they are ready. (Note: this same nugget of wisdom will work for potty training as well!)
- Don't stress out about it. If you do, they will. And if you don't, well, did the fellas in the video look stressed out?
- Anticipate - and embrace - a change in your bedtime routine. Just as you did that night long long ago when your wee one first came home from the hospital and looked oh so small in that great big crib.

Wow - does your video bring back memories. LOL Our 2 sons (7&9) could've made a video just like that when they were that age. They were so full of rambunctious energy 24/7. As they've grown older, we're learning how to channel that energy in a more positive direction - most(?) of the time. After all the work I did to make a smooth transition from cribs to twin beds with the girls, including letting them choose their own bedding, etc., most of the time I find them sleeping together in one bed. I don't know if it's that identical twin thing or not. Whatever. I guess I could've put them in one double bed. The boys in a double bed at any age would be a DISASTER. I don't even want to think about it.

Down East 2013 ©
Photograph by Jason Crain
Inside: a river of fish, trophy-size salmon and trout. Outside: a river of humans of all shapes, ages, and sizes. Some people drift right by the riverbed aquarium at L.L.Bean, but many, especially those with small children, get caught in an eddy of curiosity.
It's worth waiting until the kids clear out and abandoning your dignity to crouch down into the viewing dome on the left-hand side of the aquarium. Once you start watching the fish swimming around your head, you notice how surprisingly gorgeous they are. Rainbow trout flash iridescent silver with a pink flush running the length of their bodies. Brook trout have deep orange bellies and lower fins edged in white. Brown trout sport intricate patterns of ochre and black flecked with bright red-pink. Landlocked Atlantic salmon are pale gray and mottled with black.
About a million people a year visit this aquarium, which opened in 2007 and offers a fascinating glimpse of four of Maine's most prized game fish. At twenty-four feet long, it is the largest aquarium-viewing window in the state. Two dozen or so fish live in this 3,500-gallon tank, along with crayfish hiding from them in the rocks. It is equally a work of art and a work of science.
On a quiet Sunday afternoon, Ed Seidel watches people watching the fish. A marine biologist who lives in Damariscotta, he's one of the aquarium's designers. After L.L.Bean's visual merchandising team dreamed up the idea for an educational exhibit featuring fish, they contacted the New England Aquarium, which recommended Seidel and Tenji, Inc., the company he and two colleagues launched to design educational aquariums and marine and freshwater laboratories.
"It's very satisfying to sit across from the tank and see people enjoying it," says Seidel, who moved back to his home state in 2004 after a decade as a curator at the famed Monterey Bay Aquarium in California. Camera flashes bounce off the tank all around him. Doesn't that bother the fish? Not at all, Seidel says. "But tapping on the tank really annoys them." He explains how fish "hear" through a specialized organ called the lateral line that runs down either side of their bodies, allowing them to sense pressure changes in the water, stick together in schools, find food, and avoid predators and obstacles.
The two dozen or so salmon and trout all face in the same direction in the tank, toward a current created by two hundred gallons of water a minute pouring in over the observation dome. "Fish orientate themselves to face the current, which is called rheotaxis," Seidel explains. "They're dialing into the current, which tells them about their environment. It's like our senses of smell and taste."
It's mesmerizing to watch the fish as they stream toward the current and swim to the bottom to rest among the rocks. The only other way you might get so up close and personal with these creatures is if you literally immersed yourself in some of Maine's more remote fishing holes, braving icy water and treacherous currents, slippery rocks, and voracious blackflies. That's pretty much what Seidel did to begin the design process.
Seidel trekked to Coos Canyon in Byron, Roaring Brook in Baxter State Park, and other spots to investigate the kinds of fishing holes Leon Leonwood Bean himself would have frequented a century ago when he wasn't selling his newfangled hunting shoes from his brother's basement in Freeport. Seidel donned a wetsuit and snorkel and waded into rapids with a waterproofed flip camera mounted on a pole to film everything from fish to rock formations.
"I saw a few fish, but the big ones were smart enough to swim away from the camera rig," says Seidel. "Most of what I caught on film were small fish, crayfish, and some invertebrates. I was also very interested in capturing how rocks eroded in response to a river and trying to recreate that in the exhibit."
Seidel hired his friend Jacques Vesery, a Maine-based artist and sculptor, to translate his photographs into the overall look and feel of the aquarium and concept sketches. A team of sculptors and artists used silicone molds of real Maine rocks to make convincing fiberglass fakes for the aquarium. They worked from latex molds to sculpt the tank's lifelike sunken log from distressed PVC covered with epoxy and etched with L.L.Bean's initials. "We couldn't use a real log because it would rot and change the water chemistry," Seidel says.
Creating the aquarium took about a year, with six months of design work and six months of construction. It took eight people four months just to build the tank, which is faced with two-inch-thick acrylic on the viewing side. What the public sees through the aquarium's wall, however, is only a small piece of a complex system.
"We tried to make everything that's artificial disappear," Seidel says. Most of that is "backstage." Seidel opens a door that leads to the aquarium's life support system, a roomful of humming pumps and burbling stainless steel and fiberglass tanks connected by some mighty impressive plumbing.
The system's "brain" is a computer that monitors everything from water temperature to oxygen levels and automatically corrects anything that is out of balance. The "heart" of the system is the pump and the "kidney" is a three-hundred-gallon tank that resembles a giant white ginger jar filled with plastic pellets. Natural bacteria from the air and fish colonize the pellets and break down ammonia and fish waste into nitrogen and other harmless gasses.
A dechlorinator removes chemicals from the water and a special chilling tank keeps the water at an optimum fifty-eight degrees. Above the tank, three halide lights provide "sunshine" eight to ten hours a day in keeping with the fishes' natural daily rhythms.
Although the system is computer automated, it still requires human care. L.L.Bean maintenance staff feed the fish and are trained in how to maintain the exhibit and care for the fish, which are two to three years old and are raised and donated by Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife hatcheries in Dry Mills and Casco.
Before heading out, Seidel lifts a translucent fiberglass cover from the top of the tank for a look inside. Air wafts up, cool and sweet and smelling of brook.
Back on the public side of the tank, people continue to be swept up for a closer look at these otherworldly creatures. Some pause to read about the ecology of a riverbed and learn about the tank's denizens from educational displays developed by Tenji, Inc., and the Gulf of Maine Research Institute.
"People are transfixed by the aquarium, especially the little ones who get to experience the viewing dome," says Mac McKeever of L.L.Bean. "We want people to experience a snapshot of a Maine riverbed while they have fun, and learn something, too."
Seidel, who was inspired in his career by childhood summers spent tide-pooling in Trenton with his grandmother, one of the first female marine biologists at Woods Hole, hopes people of all ages bring something away from this created stretch of river.
"I'd like people to walk away with a bit of child-like wonder, whether they're children or adults," he says. "Like Rachel Carson wrote, 'If I had influence with the good fairy who is supposed to preside over the christening of all children, I should ask that her gift to each child is a sense of wonder so indestructible that it would last throughout life.' "

Consider using contractors for TMC maintenance support.
Eight states' experiences with using contractors for TMCs.
Atlanta,Georgia,United States; Boston,Massachusetts,United States; Detroit,Michigan,United States; Houston,Texas,United States; Long Island,New York,United States; Milwaukee,Wisconsin,United States; Phoenix,Arizona,United States; Toronto,Ontario,Canada
Background (Show)
Lesson Learned
- Recognize that contractors can be effectively used for TMC maintenance support. It is important, that TMCs have knowledge of what they desire before contracting for warranty or maintenance support since significant differences exists between these two services. Note that warranties typically do not include repairs of damage from weather, vandalism, improper operation, or vehicle impact; the type of service will vary depending on contract specifications. In addition, if possible, an on-site presence should be encouraged as it is preferable to maximize desired value from contract support personnel. It may also be helpful to separate maintenance contracts based on the type of device being maintained.
- Pre-qualify maintenance contractors since it is essential for hiring an effective maintenance support. Carefully specify skills in categories, technology, and equipment needed since general contractor categories might not offer a full set of the needed skills. For example, avoid situations where a contractor is supposed to reach installed equipment, but does not have the appropriate bucket trucks to reach the installations. TMCs may also benefit by overseeing the traffic control and safety practices of maintenance contractors to ensure that appropriate regulations and practices are followed.
When using contractors for TMC maintenance, several recommendations should be taken into consideration. First of all, agencies should realize that TMC maintenance support can be outsourced to contractors. However, the significant difference between"warranty" and"maintenance" should be acknowledged. Secondly, before hiring a contractor, it is recommended that there be a pre-qualification stage to filter through candidates for the most suitable contractor. After determining that the contractor has the specific skills set needed, the agency can hire and use the service to increase productivity and efficiency.

I like to make spies as soon as I make contact or even before if creative. If creative I have more for them to steal as a non-creative, I can wait longer.
If your have no -spy or traits that hurt spying, you should be ok, if you do not delay on researching Tele Training.
I normally will go to N. scanners quickly and get the tech that boost spies in all cases.
Once I get a planet (other than the primary ship building or researching one) to were all structures are doen, it ill just make spies for a long time. I want 4 spies vey soon and then I want to put some out to steal. If I am creative, I will not bother stealing, if I am a tele, I will put the spies on sabatoge instead of espionage.
Later I often put any planet that just finished it final build to make one spy before going to trade. This keeps spies coming in until I get a ton.
One other thing I may do is to use the Darlok picture to prevent them from being in the game.

By Popular Demand, My New Convertible
As some of you know, I have been looking for a convertible for a long time. Lots to choose from, but value verses price eliminated most. I got extremely lucky when park connected me with the seller of the late Herb Bells's collection. Herb was a living Hudson legend and lived in Gainsville Georgia. The strange twist of fate.... I had admired Herbs 49 Commodore eight convertible since I saw it in a magazine in about 1976-77. In 76-77, I was finishing up a restoration of a 49 commodore 8 Convertible and I used the pictures of Herb's as a guide to finish mine. A divorce was on the horizon, so i sold mine to finance the divorce and put a down payment on some empty property. I never forgot Herb's convertible. Several years ago, Park set up a meeting with Herb and I to aquire some parts for a friends Super six. I got to see his collection in person. There sat the convertible next to Miss Daisy! Herb wasn't interested in selling and to tell the truth I couldn't afford it!. Park comes back into the picture again when he announced Herb's passing. I asked Park if they were selling the collection. He put me in touch and I bought it. Never in my wildest dreams would I imagine I would have that car. Her name is Ruby, It's a family Joke. My Model A ford is named Sapphire, so they are now room mates..
What was the ex's name that I divorced? "Ruby" of course! Thanks Park, for a memorable journey.
Here are a few pics. not a perfect car, but oh how much fun she is gonna be.49C8 01.JPG2048 x 1360 - 722K49C8 03.JPG2048 x 1360 - 751K -
Congrats, she looks like a fantastic car.....Brownie
Wow! And in another thread, you were talking about a..''project''! Not exactly the kind of ''project'' I was thinking of... Congrats! Very nice looking car! Michel
And thanks for the tip: First: A divorce, Second: An empty property Third: A Hudson Convertible! Good news: I completed steps one and two last seven years. Now... -
Thanks, It's not perfect, but nice enough to not have to make excuses for. Some serious paint issues in the lower fenders and doors, a chattering clutch and a very leaky transmission need attention. Then a new top. I sure am going to miss all the stuff I had on my Super.
The empty property was used to build our retirement home....and large garage! All of this took between 30-40 years! Of course finding a new wife and partner in life a couple years after the divorce made it all possible. Having the right woman is essential! Of course luck has some bearing.

A versatile nylon string guitar for any style!
The Hybrid CW is the nylon-stringed guitar for the acoustic-electric player who, like most of us, is not necessarily a classical guitarist. As the name suggests, the Hybrid has mixed origins derived from traditional nylon-stringed guitars and a desire to meet the needs of modern guitar players.
Hand-crafted in LaPatrie, Quebec, this smooth-sounding nylon-stringed guitar features a solid cedar top, mahogany back and sides, mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard with a classical 2" (5.1 cm) nut width. However, this classical nut width won't seem so traditional when you feel the unique radiused fingerboard. Not only does it allow for faster playability, but also for a new level of comfort not readily available on a standard classical nylon-string fingerboard.
Although the Hybrid's neck width and string spacing are sized to classical guitar standards, a truss rod allows for a thinner neck profile. Besides the new comfort of the radiused fingerboard, the Hybrid also allows for access to the upper frets via a cutaway body. Some other esthetic goodies include cream binding, a detailed sound-hole rosette and a hand finished, contoured headstock.
As with all acoustic models in the Godin family only genuine lacquer finish is used, allowing the top to breathe and vibrate freely. This strong belief in applying genuine lacquer translates into a guitar that will experience and benefit from the aging process...the more the instrument is played, the better it will sound over time.
For the gigging/working musician the Hybrid CW comes standard issue with Godin Quantum II electronics and the innovative TRIC (Thermal regulated instrument case) to thermally protect and securely house the Hybrid CW.
Now you can take your nylon-string chops to the electric stage.
Our product catalog varies by country due to manufacturer restrictions. If you change the Ship-To country, some or all of the items in your cart may not ship to the new destination.

Move over, Oscars. Take a seat, Disney. And forget the televised car chase.
The space shuttle Endeavour is conquering a new frontier -- the entertainment capital of the world -- and it's getting royal parade treatment.
Like a king carried in a chariot, throngs of spectators packed the streets and lined rooftops Saturday as the Endeavour lumbered through Los Angeles on its way to retirement in a local museum.
Yet lumbering may be an overstatement. Organizers had expected the shuttle would saunter 12 miles over two days at 2 mph (most humans walk 3 mph), with several rests.
In fact, it's progressed slower than that. By 7 p.m. PT (10 p.m. ET), the space shuttle was hours behind schedule. Organizers said they now expect it will be at its final destination between 2 a.m. and 5 a.m. Sunday -- a far cry from the 10 p.m. Saturday end time that was originally planned.
This is despite advanced efforts to make room for the shuttle, which is 78 feet wide and 122 feet long. Officials had ordered 265 trees to be cut down, 67 traffic signals to be dismantled and 48 mast arms to be removed just to accommodate the shuttle.
But once they hit the road, they found more trees needed to pruning to protect Endeavour's exterior, hence the delay.
That slow movement has allowed a festival of gawkers to line the streets and express awe as the hulking orbiter barely cleared utility poles and its five-story-high tail passed the corner glass suites of office buildings.
The remaining trees and traffic poles -- as well as buildings -- are now the subject of dramatic video and photography as the shuttle's wings slowly pass within a mere inch of striking them.
"This once-in-a-lifetime event is a cause for celebration," Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa said.
Gwendolyn Crews, the owner and director of Juniorversity Preschool in Compton, bought an American flag to wave at the passing orbiter. She plans to take her entire preschool to see the Endeavour settle into the museum.
"I think this is a history-making moment here in Los Angeles, California, and I want to be able to share this with my kids, my grandkids, my great-grandkids of this great event -- and the children of our school," Crews said.
Latasha Covington and her children, 9-year-old Skilyn and 4-year-old Amarie, brought a chair to stand on to get a view over the crowds.
"I've been here 32 years in L.A. and I've never seen anything like this, so it's part of history. I wanted them to see that," Covington said.
Richard Plump of Plump Engineering Inc. was accompanying the shuttle to make sure the pressure from the transporter doesn't stress the underground water and sewer systems.
To relieve such pressure, crews laid 2,700 steel plates on parts of Endeavour's route.
"I'm part of the convoy, so I am ahead. As the transporter is coming along, I'm there as another set of eyes to make sure that the transporter's wheels are on the steel plates at the right location," Plump said.
"I think it's breathtaking," he said.
Road crews erected orange signs whimsically drawn with a shuttle silhouette and the cautionary advisory "SHUTTLE XING."
Along the route, jazz musicians played out of a garage as the shuttle continued its snail's pace.

News CenterDriver Assist Tech Interest Growing Among Midsize Sedan Buyers; Ford Fusion Offers Unprecedented Level of Content
- Preliminary data suggest all-new Ford Fusion shoppers are especially interested in the Driver Assist package that features advanced technologies previously limited to more expensive luxury vehicles
- New Ford Fusion build-and-price test site shows growing interest in backup cameras and MyFord Touch®
- Midsize segment buyers may seek more technology as affordability makes advanced technology accessible in the segment
DEARBORN, Mich., Aug. 7, 2012 – Advanced technology hasn't traditionally played a large role in the purchase consideration in the midsize sedan segment, but this may be changing, according to consumers searching online for more information about Ford's all-new Fusion sedan.
Of the more than 155,000 online shoppers who built and priced the 2013 Ford Fusion on a recent test site, nearly 25 percent opted for the Driver Assist package that includes Ford's most advanced technology such as Blind Spot Information System (BLIS®), Lane-Keeping Aid, automatic high beams and rain-sensing windshield wipers.
"Even if it was just out of curiosity, we were surprised to see how many in our survey built out a Fusion online with the Driver Assist package," said Samantha Hoyt, Ford Fusion Marketing manager. "Technology traditionally hasn't been a big driver for consideration with midsize intenders, but this could be changing as we increase the affordability of these features."
Backup cameras and MyFord Touch® in particular are drawing increasing interest with online shoppers. Ford Marketing has found online shoppers searching for Fusion online often include "backup camera" in their search.
Ford is aggressively positioning its new Fusion as a leader in driver assist technologies. Fusion Titanium includes standard features like MyFord Touch and the rear view camera and has other driver assist features available like adaptive cruise control and the Lane-Keeping System. These types of technologies are typically only available on luxury makes as part of very expensive option packages.
The all-new Fusion brings together the most complete suite of technology at the most affordable price point ever offered. In order to get all of these capabilities from BMW, a customer would have to step up to the top-of-the-line 760Li at more than $140,000, and even at nearly $100,000 a Mercedes-Benz S550 customer can't get active park assist. Every one of these features is available in the Fusion SE, Titanium and Hybrid. In fact, a customer can order a Fusion SE with these features for $29,885. The new Fusion has a base price of $21,700 – the same price as the current model with an automatic transmission.
"Research shows customers are looking for more value from their vehicles," says Hoyt. "From Auto Start-Stop to the Lane-Keeping System, an automobile's content is becoming a top factor when purchasing a new vehicle.
"Numerous Fusion packages provide unprecedented amounts of content and features over the previous model-year car, which continues to be a top seller and has enjoyed four record sales months in 2012," Hoyt adds.
Where style meets substance
The all-new Fusion offers a portfolio of driver assistance and convenience technologies based on sensors, cameras and radar that enable the car to see and respond.
The 2013 Ford Fusion can help drivers maintain proper lane position, adjust vehicle speed to changing traffic conditions, identify suitable parking spaces and then help parallel park – even aiding drivers backing out of a parking space where visibility is obstructed. Specific technologies include Lane-Keeping System, adaptive cruise control, active park assist and BLIS with cross-traffic alert.

Residents will get a chance to ask Cincinnati Police Chief James Craig some questions at a public meeting this week.
Craig, who was sworn in as the city's 13th police chief in August, will be the featured speaker at the annual meeting of Citizens for Civic Renewal (CCR). The session will be held from 6-8 p.m. Wednesday at Kingsgate Marriott Conference Center in Corryville, near the University of Cincinnati.
At least three of Cincinnati City Council's four new members will appear at a meet-and-greet event next week in Price Hill to answer questions.
Chris Seelbach, Yvette Simpson and P.G. Sittenfeld are scheduled to attend the Jan. 5 forum, which will be held at Elder Hill School's Schaeper Center. It's uncertain at this time whether the fourth and final new council member, Christopher Smitherman, will attend.
Sharp-eyed readers who received an email update this week from Cincinnati City Councilman P.G. Sittenfeld got a surprise: At the bottom, it stated the missive came from the "Office of Congressman P.G. Sittenfeld."
That prompted some observers to wonder if the error was a Freudian slip and whether Sittenfeld, who was just sworn into his first council term three weeks ago, had already set his sights on higher office.
A group that supports preserving the historic Gamble House in Westwood is angry that Cincinnati building inspectors aren't enforcing the law at the property, which is allowing heavy rainfall to damage it while a court battle drags on about whether to save the mansion from demolition.
Bob Prokop, of Save the Historic Gamble Estate Now, said the city's inaction about securing the house contradicts what a building inspector told him would be done at the property in an email from last spring.
Occupy D.C. protesters built some type of structure in a park Saturday night, and police on Sunday notified them that they didn't have a permit and took it down, arresting dozens in the process. It was a pretty nice structure, though.
Several other municipal court judges either declined comment or said they would consider the point Stockdale makes in his letter if it is raised during the hearings.
Attorneys for the protesters said they intend to do just that. They already have asked judges to dismiss the charges on grounds the park board rules violate the free speech rights of the protesters.
They say Stockdale's letter raises another weakness in the city's case against their clients.
"Whether it's a violation of the First Amendment or an over-reach by the park board, they are clearly relevant questions," said Rob Linneman, an attorney for the protesters.
It's been a wild couple of days in local politics, with most of the names on East Side yard signs losing in Tuesday's City Council election. The newbies: Democrats P.G. Sittenfeld, Yvette Simpson and Chris Seelbach. The new Council will include only one Republican, Charlie Winburn, although Chris Smitherman acts like he's from all sorts of political parties. For the first time ever, the Council will be a majority African American, and Seelbach's win marks the first election of an openly gay candidate to Council.
Four members of the conservative majority that spent most of last year either blocking the mayor's initiatives or Twittering — Chris Bortz, Leslie Ghiz, Amy Murray and Wayne Lippert — were ousted, paving the way for Mayor Mallory and the seven Democrats on council to things they want to do. Congratulations "environmentalists and people who use health clinics!"
During the past two weeks CityBeat has published its list of endorsements in the race for Cincinnati City Council,along with those on local and state issues.
Some readers have requested that the endorsements be put into a smaller format that will be simpler to print out and take along with them to their polling places on Tuesday.
So, here it is. Clip, save and enjoy.
As part of CityBeat's continuing election coverage, we've once again sent a questionnaire to the non-incumbent Cincinnati City Council candidates to get their reactions on a broad range of issues.
Nine of the 14 non-incumbents chose to answer our questions. Others either didn't respond or couldn't meet the deadline.
During the next few weeks, we will print the responses from the non-incumbents to a different topic each time.
Today's question is, "What are your thoughts on consolidating some city and county services? If you support the concept, are there specific services that should be considered for consolidation? Conversely, are there specific services that should be deemed off-the-table?"
Perhaps hoping to mimic the suspenseful aspects of an Alfred Hitchcock film or a Thomas Harris novel, an ultra-conservative group has been issuing press releases announcing its endorsements for Cincinnati City Council one at a time.
Oh, the anticipation!

I've stayed here 4 or 5 times with colleagues over the years. Convenient for public transport and bars and restaurants in the evening, but it really could do with some decorating and maintenance. November 2012 and the rooms were so hot we had to open windows and got bitten to death by mosquitos. Reception told us temperature and air conditioning... More

'It's Hot in a Dog's Head' Student Show Plays Dec. 8 at Chestnut Sq. Co-op
Watkins College of Art, Design & Film presents It's Hot in a Dog's Head on Saturday, December 8, beginning at 6 p.m. at Ground Floor Gallery in the Chestnut Square Building.
The one-night exhibition features work from Watkins student artists Hannah Taylor (Fine Art), Rex Runyeon (senior, Graphic Design), and Casey Payne in collaboration with curator David King. Filtering contemporary subjects through a process of free association and deviance, these artists glean inspiration from such sources as burnout psychedelia, provisional painting, themes of death and eroticism, skateboarding and folk iconographies. These influences are interwoven to disrupt images of the subaltern within dominant culture. Their work complicates tidy images of the past and "the outsider."
The Chestnut Square Art Co-op is located at 427 Chestnut St (near Greer Stadium). Former site of the May Hosiery Mill, the 100-year-old building is now the home of 12 artist studios.
