Wouldn't it be great to find your own "Oz on Earth?"

Re: How 'bout it? Any Soverel owners?
She is in the water but one thing lead to another and my cleaning her up and a few repairs seemed to expand a little. We have stripped, sanded and clear coated all the interior teak. Installed new fridge and replaced the head and galley counter tops with Corion and under mount sinks with new faucets. Hatches and companionway have new glass installed and all interior cushions are being recovered. Next is a coat of cabin paint followed by painting the topside if this rainy weather will give me a break. Then we will be installing the new stanchions and bow pulpit.
We are really getting to know Osprey and enjoying making her beautiful again. I did tell my wife we need to draw a line and get out sailing but I dont think that will happen until next summer.

Painted Wooden Eggs
See more activities in: Third Grade, Easter
Looking for an exciting Easter project to do with your 3rd grader this year? Inspire your child to exercise her creativity by decorating wooden eggs for Easter. These eggs make a beautiful table decoration that can be used over and over again each year. Make this activity an Easter tradition for years to come and get the whole family involved!
What You Need:
- 12 wooden craft eggs (these are available at most craft stores)
- Acrylic craft paint in a variety of colors
- Paint brush
- White glue
- Precision glue bottle (often sold with wood working supplies)
- Ultrafine glitter
What You Do:
- Help your child paint the eggs. It may take more than one coat of paint to completely cover each egg. Make sure each egg is thoroughly covered.
- While the paint is drying, encourage your child to come up with the designs she plans to use. Eggs can be entirely covered with glitter, striped, spotted, or covered in a pattern of her own design. Encourage your child to get creative and be inspired by the spring time! Flowers, vines or Easter themes are a great place to start. She can draw out some of her designs on paper to use as a reference if she likes. This is also great way for her to practice her spatial and measurement skills.
- Once the paint is dry, fill the precision glue bottle with white glue. Your child can use this to draw her patterns on the eggs. When a portion of the design has been drawn, help your child sprinkle the glitter on the wet glue. You may need to do one side at a time and let each egg dry between applications so the designs don't smear. Not to worry. There are 11 more eggs to work on!
- Once you and your child are done decorating your beautiful eggs, set them aside to dry some place where they won't be disturbed. While the eggs dry, you and your child can look for a special bowl or plate in your home to put the eggs in. Put them on display center stage on your holiday table!
Everyone will be amazed at the beautiful results of this fun and easy holiday craft project.

NHL On the Ice Replay w/Sabres Sam Reinhart and USA Today Kevin Allen
in Hockey
Coming up today on NHL On the Ice will be a replay of last weeks interview with Sam Reinhart. Sam serves as the captain for the Kootenay Ice of the Western Hockey League (WHL) and was recently selected 2nd overall by the Buffalo Sabres in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft. We'll talk to Sam about his junior carrer with Kootenay, his family life and what's it's like to come from hockey bloodlines and playing International hockey and representing Team Canada.
The interview is sponsored by CCM and the new CCM Tacks. One of the most storied and celebrated skates ever introduced is returning to Source For Sports® shelves this summer after a 10-year absence. Months of rumors and speculation, including pictures leaked from NHL superstar Nathan MacKinnon, have led to a launch date of July 18, 2014. Before his match up against the New Jersey Devils on February 3rd, MacKinnon made the news official by posting a picture of the sleek new boot to his Twitter account. The skate will come equipped with some new revolutionary features that will immediately contribute to players' on ice performance. The new CCM AttackFrame quarter package has the lightest fibre reinforced boot to ever hit the market. This new feature will suit players looking to increase explosive acceleration and stability. Additional components such as a 4.0 speed blade holder and hyper glide runner will supply more gliding ability to help maintain speed after quick acceleration.
Next, Kevin Allen from USA Today helps us recap a busy week in the NHL. With the NHL draft in the books, we've turned the corner onto free agency. We take a look at all the NHL teams and how they faired in going after some of the top NHL free agents. The first two days of NHL free agency were as wild as predicted. Ninety-six players were signed for a combined $543 million Tuesday, with the average annual salary being $2.8 million.

WKPJB Radio 103.9 The Indie Storm featuring Jerald Murphy
in Poetry
Jerald Murphy is a writer, chef, philosopher who was born in Moultrie Ga, in his grandparents home in the turbulent sixties. He is the father of 9 children one of whom passed in 2003 and has 11 grandchildren. To say that he is a product of his environment is an understatement. He is the result of his environment having grown up in between the black side of Moultrie and the projects of Tallahassee. Jerald started to read at the early age of three and it is that reading along with the influences of various Muslims, Rasta's and "militants" that shaped and molded him Into the writer he is today. His greatest influences were his Father, Willie Lawrence Murphy and his Mother, Mildred Jolly Murphy Williams. In the eighties he was a medics in the army and after his tour of duty he returned to Tallahassee where he was asked to be a community columnist for the local newspaper. He also pursued his love of cooking which he turned into a carrer. Eventually becoming a chef he was the head sous chef for the Mill Bakery Brewery and Eatery for the 96 Olympic games in Atlanta Ga. He returned to Tallahassee and was the co-host as well as commentator for the popular radio show "Sunday flava with Robert Blake on 90.5, Florida A&M's radio station. He has hosted numerous poetry shows and has been involved in some community activism as well. In 2005 he joined MySpace where after two years he became a prominent figure in the writing community and for two years straight he had two of the top 10 blog's on MySpace out of over two million blog's. Today Jerald can be found antagonizing readers on Facebook or his children and grandchildren at home. Jerald's greatest ambition is to be published.

BBW diva's Hip Hop and RnB radio featuring Mex Manny Beats
There are only a select few that are from Arizona that you can say are "Industry Standard" in the hip hop and R&B game. ASH Music got to sit down recently with one them and when we say this man is a beast with production, we werent lying.
Mex Manny Beats was hidden away in ATL doing work, but recently moved back to his roots in AZ and has been conecting with some of the artists out here to show some love. Not many people are aware, but being from Glendale Arizona, he elevated his carrer when he moved out to ATL, and there has been no looking back.
With two chart topping Billboard hits, he has more then enough placements and work under his belt to compete with anyone on an industry level. One of them was on Rhianna's Unapologetic album with the hit song "Loveee Song" feat Future. In an interview for MTV News, Future spoke about his collaboration with Rihanna, "They wanted a more uptempo record, so I sent four or five records, and I left the last record. It was more like a ballad, and I left it." He further revealed that the original title of the song was "Love & Affection", however, Rihanna's mentor Jay-Z changed it to "Love Song" and added two additional 'e's becoming "Loveee Song".
He came with that super producer status again with the Wale "Bad" remix feat Rhianna. This song has been 21 on the Billboard Hot 100 and also as high as #5 on the Billboard R&B and Hip Hop charts. When we say Platinum status, I told you we werent lying. Our very own ASH Music artist Big Haps will have some of his production on his upcoming album as well. Please check out the interview and music below!

Abstract available in
Claims available in
Description (OCR text may contain errors)
July 25, 1950 T. R.. SMITH OSCILLATING WASHING MACHINE TUB Filed Aug 30, 1945 Patented July 25, 1 950 OSCILLATVING WASHING MACHINE TUB Thomas R. Smith, Newton, Iowa, assignor to The Maytag Company, Newton, Iowa, a corporation of Delaware Application August 30, 1945, Serial No. 613,542
1 Claim. (Cl. 68-1-174) The present invention relates to a washing machine consisting of an Oscillating tub formed or provided with diametrically opposed baflles so constructed and arranged as toproduce a novel washing action for washing clothes.
Among the objects of the present invention is the provision of a novel washing machine tub adapted to be oscillated about a vertical axis. In the disclosed embodiment the-tub is formed or provided with a pair of diametrically opposed baffles formed or disposed along-the side .walls of the tub. These bafiies extendradiallyinward to a rounded point or apex and from this point or apex flare outwardly in a smooth curve merging in an unbroken line with the side walls of the tub.
A further object of the present invention is the provision of a novel tub and bafile arrangement extending along the sides of the tub and for the depth thereof in such manner as to form two opposed pockets, the baffles. being so formed as to direct and impel the washing solution and clothes from one into the opposed pocket and by rapidly oscillating the tub, produce a vigorous twisting and bending of the clothes and a highly effective water and washing action.
The invention comprehends such further objects, advantages and capabilities as will later more fully appear and are inherently possessed thereby, and while the drawing shows a preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that the same is susceptible of modification and change, and comprehends other details, arrangements of parts, features and constructions without departing from the spirit of the invention.
In the drawings:
Figure 1 is a view in perspective of the novel washing machine, certain parts being broken away for a more clear disclosure.
Figure 2 is a top plan View of the tub and baflles.
Referring more particularly to the disclosure in the drawings, the embodiment therein selected to illustrate the invention comprises a tub I of substantially cylindrical form and having its flat base or bottom 2 mounted upon the upper end of a vertical drive shaft 3 for alternately rotating or oscillating the tub through a desired arc of movement and at a desired speed.
Provided on the interior of the tub are spaced diametrically opposed and imperforate bafiles 4, 4 extending substantially vertically along the longitudinal axis of the tub and from the base to the upper part of the tub. As more clearly shown in the horizontal or top plan view of Fig.
. 2 2, these baffles extend, radially inward to a rounded point or edge 5 1 and flare outwardly therefrom in a smooth curve at 6, 6 with the base of each ballle' merging smoothly into the side walls '1 of the tub'to provide a pair of substantially elliptical or kidney-shaped connecting pockets 8. 8L v The vertical drive shaft 3 is preferably joure nalled adjacent its upper end ina bearing 9 received or press fitted into a sleeve ID provided at the upper end of a gearcase H for housing the drive unit. Thelower end of the shaft seats upon a thrust bearing I2 and adjacent thereto is journalled in a bearing I3 press fitted into a sleeve 01' collar l4 formed in the base I5 of the gear case. Slidably and loosely mounted on the shaft is a gear or pinion I6 and directly thereabove a clutch l I is pinned or keyed to the shaft 3 for oscillating or alternately rotating this shaft when the pinion or gear I6 is clutched thereto.
In continuous meshing engagement with and driving the pinion I 6 is a rack I8 slidably mounted and guided upon a cross bar or guide rod I9. The rack is mounted or formed upon the rear of a cross head 20 having a disc 2I provided with a vertically extending slot 22 on its opposite face. In this slot is slidably mounted a collar or slide 23 carried on an eccentric pin affixed to the rear face of a Worm wheel 24 which is in continuous meshing engagement with a worm 25 mounted on the shaft 26 of a motor or other power drive 21. Thus by driving and continuously rotating the worm 25 and worm wheel 24, the collar or slide 23 is moved in the vertical slot 22 and thereby reciprocate's the cross head 20 and its rack I8. This rack being in continuous mesh with the normally loose pinion I6, oscillates this pinion about the vertical drive shaft 3, and upon elevation of the pinion sufficiently to clutchingly engage the undersurface or clutch face of the clutch H, the continuously oscillating pinion is clutched to the drive shaft 3 and oscillates the tub through the desired arc and at the desired speed of oscillation. Excellent results have been secured by oscillatin the tub of the present embodiment at a speed of approximately 52 oscillations per minute and through an arc of approximately 225 degrees. However, it is to be understood that the speed of oscillation and the are or angle of movement may be varied somewhat in accordance with the dimensions or capacity of the tub. In the disclosed embodiment, the diameter of the tub is shown as approximately sixteen inches with the two baffles, vanes or blades 4 being of uniform depth and extending into the tub approxi- 3 mately four inches from the outer periphery or substantially one-half the radius of the tub. Also in this form of tub, excellent results were had when employing approximately ten to eleven gallons of washing solution.
The pinion l6 may be raised or lowered by any suitable control means mounted or located at the exterior or the tub and readily accessibleto the operator; it. being understood that the pinion is of such length as to remain in continuous meshing engagement with the rack at all times. Also, any suitable base, frame or support may be provided for the machine. A suitable lid 28 is-provided to form a closure for thetub.
It will be readily apparent from the above de.-.
scription and the disclosure in the drawings, that the present invention comprehends a novel tub and baille arrangement and construction. The
currents or flow of washing solution carrying the clothes take substantially the path shown by thefull line, arrows in F gure 2 w en the tub is rotatin in a counter-clockwise direction, while the arrows. in dotted, line show the pathof, washins, sqlu n and olothesimm ne of th lipt cal sectionswhen, t e tub. s. ta ed in a cl kw s directi n.
Having thus disclosed my invention, I, claim:

CSB batteries are used for UPS, emergency lighting, security and any floating application. Maximum charging current is nominal capacity times 0.3. All dimensions are in inches. Connection: A=.187" disconnect, B=.250" disconnect, C= bolt and nut.
THis Battery Fits exactly like the the one i had. The Voltage reads 6.44 volts so I know I don't have to charge it up and is 4.5 Amp Hours , the one I had in the porable VAC was only 2.3 AH so its really better than what I had.
My order came fast and was as expected. Just another satisfied MCM customer.
Good quality and great value. Perfect fit for application

Continental Gator Hardshell Tire
... and then it exploded
This tire made it about 100 miles. Couldn't return as 30 days had passed. I brought it to a local bike shop that dealt in continental and was mystified and tried to deal with continental rep to get replacement (ultimately failed with no reason given). Side wall blew out. No brake wear near tire. No rim damage. No over pressurization (was on its original air from replacement). $60 mistake. Now 400 miles on my second set of Armadillos (first wore through the first layer of rubber without any flats)

Milo, a Lab / boxer mix, came to us a month ago and brought with him a whole lot of love and enjoyment and a little bit of mayhem.

My mom is going to school to be a veterinary technician and she's learning all about animals, so I know that I will always be as happy and healthy as I can be!More pictures and comments
I don't know much about Shine's old life because we rescued her from a shelter. But now she is living the life she deserves! She loves to play, run around, and meet new dogs and people. She is a wonderful friend and I am so happy that she is my friend!More pictures and comments

Whereas Volume 1 of Endgame presents the problem of civilization, Volume 2 of this pivotal work illustrates our means of resistance. Incensed and hopeful, impassioned and lucid, Endgame leapfrogs the environmental movement's deadlock over our willingness to change our conduct, focusing instead on our ability to adapt to the impending ecological revolution.

Bousillage is a mixture of clay and grass or other fiberous substances used as the infill between the timbers of a half-timbered building. This material was commonly used by 18th century French colonial settlers in the historical New France region of the United States.
Bousillage, in south Louisiana, is a mixture of clay earth and retted Spanish moss used to fill in the panels in a half-timbered frame, called colombage in French.[1] This was a technique used in French Louisiana by colonists from the 18th to 19th centuries. In France the framing was typically in-filled between the post with brick, stone or earth mixed with straw. There was no stone in south Louisiana, and bricks were not being made during early colonial times. The colonist picked up on a technique that the Native Americans were using to build their wattle and daub structures, and that was heavy clay soil and retted Spanish moss as the binder. Split sticks or staves, known as barreaux or rabbit, were used as rungs between the upright post. They were shaped to fit at an angle and hammered into place without the use of nails. A taché of mud and moss was shaped like a bread dough loaf and hung over the rungs being compacted as placed one next to the other. The finished wall would have been either lime washed or covered with lime plaster. The plaster contains animal hair as a binder.[2]

New Huawei Ascend P7 "Sophia" to run Android 4.4.2 KitKat at launch
Huawei did a pretty good job with the Ascend P6, and it will probably try to replicate the P6's success with the Ascend P7. Sure enough, the Chinese company didn't confirm the existence of P7 yet, but rumors about this upcoming handset - codenamed Sophia - have been around since last year.
A leaked screenshot that recently surfaced in China shows that the Ascend P7 Sophia runs Android 4.4.2 KitKat with Huawei's Emotion UI 2.3. Thus, this could be Huawei's first smartphone to come with KitKat out of the box.
Previous rumors had it that the Ascend P7 would feature a 5-inch display with 1080 x 1920 pixels, LTE Cat 4, 13MP rear camera with LED flash, an impressive 8MP front-facing camera, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of internal memory, MicroSD card support, and a 2,460 mAh battery. The smartphone should use a 1.6GHz quad-core Huawei HiSilicon 910 processor (just like the recently spotted MediaPad X1 tablet).
It's said that the Ascend P7 is made out of "exquisite materials", largely resembling the P6. There's no word on when the new P7 is going to be announced, but we assume it won't be long until it happens. Maybe at MWC 2014 later this month?

I've always been impressed with the build quality of Huawei devices but their Emotion UI looks too cartoonish for my taste. I'm also curious how well HiSilicon 910 performs?

Ah, yes. The Ascend P7 is almost here, I hope the specs will be more wow though. The Ascend P6 is a beautiful phone, it's just the specs are not so wow. So, I hope the Ascend P7 will wow us.

Will it have like a 7 mm housing? (Because the P6 had a 6mm housing)

In Memory of Galway Kinnell
We are deeply saddened by the death of Galway Kinnell who has lived as our neighbor here in Northern Vermont for over 50 years. His poetry and his presence have been a constant in our lives, guiding us along with his eloquence, grace and humility. He will be sorely missed.
Thankfully we were able to celebrate and honor Galway in August at the Vermont Statehouse. We are grateful to Vermont Public Radio and Vermont Public Television for recording and filming this event.
Links to videos of the August celebration in four parts are below.
Click here for the podcast of the August celebration.
Readings take place at the Brownington Congregational Church unless otherwise noted. The intent of the series is to bring regional and national writers and poets to audiences in the Northeast Kingdom and Eastern Townships so people have the chance to hear authors read their work and to meet them personally. After each reading everyone is invited to a reception and book signing at the Samuel Read Hall House to share refreshments and conversation with the writers.

Is there documentation?
I've looked on the ispconfig site and other than installation howtos there doesn't seem to be any documentation for ispconfig 3, just ispconfig 2, is this just because 3 is pretty new and they haven't been done yet?
Everything I've managed to find from some web searches show screens that I don't even have in my installation of ispconfig 3 on the latest Debian Lenny, I'm guessing other stuff will become available as I start configuring things
Problem being I've never used anything like ispconfig before so I'm completely in the dark on how to proceed now I have it installed
Lots of views and no replies so I figured the answer to my question had to be 'nope there isn't'
Decided I'd search the ispconfig 3 forum for 'dns', dns seeming a logical place to start setting the server up, didn't find anything on using ispc 3 for configuring dns but did find a post on one thread that suggested there wouldn't likely be a manual of any sort because:
'No-one seems to miss not having a manual as ispc is self-explanatory'
Well for around 3 years I had a bind dns server running just fine but I've never used a tool like ispc or the mydns server package before and forgive me if I'm being a bit stupid, but it doesn't seem very self-explanatory to me
Having gone to all the trouble of explaining how to install all those packages and then ispc itself it just seems a bit like an unfinished job not have at least a simple 'getting started' type thing to help ispc newcomers know where to start
Spot of feedback from someone who has never used ispc before there, hope the comments are taken inn the spirit intended
The problem is it's very hard to find the time for it. I have to write tutorials, develop ISPConfig, and answer questions in the forum, and then the day is already over. :(
I suggest You allow us to help you in the documentation.
I have found Wiki with Captcha to be the most effective way to do these kinds of things.
I'm usually too busy to help but occasionally I have some minutes that I can spare and would welcome a place to post my two cents worth.
If you are too busy to do it I have several servers at my disposal?
That is a problem. If there is anything that is guaranteed it's human laziness. :) Most people (including me) are willing to fill in a simple Captcha but most are NOT willing to apply for a password if it's not a simple automatic process.
Its not that we did not try that... We had the wiki oppen without a password and without a captcha for over half a year and nobody added something :) So the password is not the problem.
But I will give it another try.

Small Lot Subdivision Blog
Car Wash Blog

A few weeks back, Bob Borson, AIA asked me to do a guest post on his Life of an Architect blog. Bob's blog is a favorite of mine and one of the few architecture blogs I follow regularly. The post, titled Rules for an Architect's Blog, is about the history and philosophy of our Modative blog.
The post even briefly covers the blogging history of some of architecture's greats like Frank Lloyd Wright.
I encourage you to check it out and stay for a while. Bob's blog is full of great content for both architects and those trying to learn more about architects.
Obviously, not everyone agrees with our last post "Why Architecture Competitions are Bad for Architects". A day after our post, archdaily, posted "Why open architecture competitions are good for Architects, a counter argument".
The archdaily post, some blog comments, and a few twitter posts claim that our argument against competitions is an attack on creativity and passion within the architecture profession. This couldn't be further from the truth. A few questions to ponder:
Do open competitions have a monopoly on creativity?
Are competitions the only way to progress the architecture profession?
Absolutely not.
Open architecture competitions actually take much of the creativity out of what architects do. They provide everything: the site, program, objectives, and deadlines. Then they judge your work in private, without any back and forth collaboration.
It's comforting for architects to have all of this delivered to them. It's exactly how architecture school works. All the architect has to do is design in a bubble. I can certainly see the appeal.
Many architects will never be convinced that open competitions are bad for them and that's fine. But I would feel bad ripping on open competitions without providing some viable alternates.
Architects will at some point inevitably find themselves with free time and/or needing a release from the daily grind. Instead of doing what architects have traditionally done (open competitions), consider one of these options instead:
Pro bono work is more rewarding and has far more upside than an open architecture competition. And there are plenty of non-profit organizations that need an architect's help, but can't afford it.
The 1% program website is a great starting point to learn about pro bono architecture and connect with with non-profits looking for architects. The 1% program asks that you donate at least 1% of your time to providing free or deeply discounted design work. In exchange, you get a rewarding experience working with people and building connections. Your work is also likely to be constructed and the publicity and experience you'll receive can lead to future paid commissions -often times in project types where you previously had no experience.
This is how the 1% program got started. Public Architecture, a firm in San Francisco, decided that instead of entering another pointless competition, they would use that time and energy to improve their neighborhood through actual design interventions. They took an unused portion of the street and made it a temporary public park. The project was built with donated materials and labor. The neighborhood praised their efforts and the Mayor of San Francisco spoke at the project's opening. Now that's a great use of an architect's time.

Your Mayor doesn't give a shit about your open architecture competition entry.
A design intervention is essentially like doing your own competition. If you're going to do free work, you might as well do it for yourself and for something you're passionate about. Find a problem in your neighborhood, your city, and solve it. Get the community involved. Publish the process and the results, even if it never gets constructed.
If you want a release, try out your design skills on something new. A few ideas:
Furniture - A coffee table for a modern lifestyle (laptops and ipads).
Building Materials - I have yet to see a building facade system that can be easily removed and recycled (like carpet tiles).
Products - Why let Karim Rashid have all the fun?
Karim is laughing at you because you're letting him and Phillipe Stark design all the cool stuff. Photo by Roman Leo, New York
Textiles - There's a serious shortage of great modern rugs. I know, I've looked.
T-Shirts - A flooded market, but an easy one to get into nowadays.
Architects should be more entrepreneurial. We have some of the best problem solving skills around, yet we mostly wait for the phone to ring to get projects. We wait for the problem to come to us.
Imagine how much better our cities would look and function if more architects got involved in real estate development. Creating their own projects and developing them. Well, you don't have to imagine. Jonathan Segal, FAIA and Sebastian Mariscal have been doing this for years in San Diego with great success.
You are more likely to meet a stranger at a bar that will hire you to design them a real building than to win an actual architectural commission from an open competition. And even if you don't, you'll at least leave happy and having spent less money than you would on a competition.
If you have any additions to this list that you'd like to share, please add a comment.

We're big believers in incorporating personality and creativity into our professional brand. In our Rethink Your Resume guide, we encouraged integration of personal interests and photos into professional resumes.
But a resume is just one step in a career. There are so many opportunities to use this strategy.
Once such opportunity was our recent team application to participate in the Urban Land Institute's 1,000 Homes Competition for Housing the Chronically Homeless in LA County.
This annual development competition asks young professionals with different backgrounds to form teams of four to eight members and submit a group application. From those applications, the judges select five teams to participate in the competition.
Our team, called Team HETED (Homeless Empowerment Through Efficient Development), consists of five members with a variety of experience in development, construction, real estate finance, social work, and architecture. While we were confident in our chances of being selected based on our backgrounds (resumes were part of the application), we took no chances and got creative and personal with our statement of interest.
Instead of the typical, bland, corporate sounding group statement, we split our statement of interest into short blurbs about our individual personal interest in entering this competition. Our statements also include our role on the team, education background, and a small picture.
Here's a sampling of our statement of interest page for the competition application, reformated for this post:
Our fifth team member, Idalia Santos, was added to our team after this original application was submitted. Her knowledge of development and construction combined with her passion for homeless issues makes her a highly valuable part of our team.
Going creative and personal can be difficult. The easier approach is to play it safe and go with what's been done before. However, for Team HETED, the creative route worked as we were selected as one of the five teams to participate in the competition. Our team is now partnered up with the City of Glendale and Path Achieve Glendale and over the next six weeks we will develop a proposal for a permanent supportive housing project in Glendale.
What are your thoughts on professional applications?
This post is part of the How to Start an Architecture Firm series.
In February 2006, Christian, Michael and I went to work on forming our own architecture firm. The following is tip number five of seven in our start-up strategy.
photo credit
I've never been a fan of large companies. It's probably because I've never worked for one. Before founding Modative, I worked for three small- to medium-sized architecture firms. Christian and Michael have similar experiences, learning the architecture business in offices where you had to do it all. There was no way to pass along unwanted tasks or hide amongst hordes of CAD stations.
Christian always jokes that in one office, the first thing the boss asked him to do on his first day was to take out the trash. Experiences like this are humbling, but also critical to developing the kind of discipline it takes to start your own architecture firm.
If I don't do this myself, it won't get done.
A philosophy that clearly ties into Tip 02: Do it Yourself.
Many people set out on their own with intentions of growing their offices fast. Far too often, this growth is unwarranted.
Are you hiring people because you can't possibly complete your long-term billable work with your current staff?
Or, are you hiring in a panic because you momentarily feel overwhelmed at a perceived inundation of new projects in the office?
Even worse, are you hiring so you can tell people at dinner parties that your office has X number of people or so you don't have to work more than 40 hours a week?
We have faced all of these situations here at Modative. To expand or not to expand. I credit our frequent internal debates amongst my partners and I to keeping our company small and responsible when it comes to hiring.
It would have been far too easy in our founding year (2006) to grow our company based on faith in the booming economy. But as this glimpse of the U.S. stock market shows over our first three years in business, we made the right call to base our growth on fact rather than faith.
When I graduated from architecture school 10 years ago, most firms were organized in a much different fashion. Architecture offices relied on larger project teams to complete the labor-intensive production and coordination that 2D CAD (and even some hand drafting) required. As technology improved, these old-school firms had a tough time changing. Their principals, often from a generation that didn't grow up with computers, would eventually come to embrace new technology, but in a slow evolutionary way, dragged down by large production-based staffs. It has taken 10 years for many of these old-school firms to evolve into technology. Many of them still resist.
Having three founders that grew up with computers and rapid technology changes, our firm was founded with a much different mentality. We embrace technology because it enables us to remain small. Our new-school firm can accomplish the same amount of work with one person that an old-school firm needed 4-8 people to complete. These two technologies help make this possible:
This program is the key to keeping us organized. It's a management system for our projects, contacts, time cards, calendar, billing and much more. Check out a prior post where I describe our ArchiOffice use in more detail.
A screenshot of the ArchiOffice dashboard.
I've worked with ArchiCAD, our CAD software here at Modative, on and off for nine years. ArchiCAD's BIM (building information modeling) technology enables "smallness" by taking much of the grunt work out of drawing production, allowing us to focus on creativity. Virtually constructing projects before they are built not only creates pretty pictures to show our clients, but it also drastically reduces expensive construction conflicts.
An example of how our virtual building models contain information on the structural systems, reducing potential drawing errors.
Stay tuned as we fill in the last two tips of our 7 Tips for Starting an Architecture Firm.
Not a tip, but a critical theme in our start-up adventure.

Instead of publishing my personal resolutions for 2010, I thought I'd fill you in on what Modative has in store for 2010.
Here at Modative, we're never mistaken for traditionalists. I'm not just talking about our architectural style, but the way we do everything. This is why we are committed to further moving away from the traditional design-bid-build process into integrated project delivery. We feel that this new way of delivering projects to our clients not only distinguishes us from the competition, but makes the process easier on our clients, contractors and even us.
And since we're not looking to procrastinate on our 2010 resolutions, we've already added a section on Integrated Project Delivery to our website so you can see what it's all about.
In more and more of our projects, clients have been asking us to go beyond our core architecture services to provide them with many of the other things that go into getting a project built.
Why? Because coordinating with one person (Modative) is much easier than coordinating with ten different consultants. We also prefer this one-stop-shop service because it further enables us to deliver the finished project as envisioned.
A glimpse of what we can provide can be found on our services beyond architecture page.
When we founded Modative, one of our primary company goals was so important to us that we put it on our business cards. Instead of "Architecture", we used the tag line "Design, Develop, Build." And while we have assisted with development decisions on the Venice Boulevard Urban Dwellings and Fay Avenue Art District Dwellings, we haven't yet acted as the contractor on one of our projects. That will soon change as I'm proud to announce that Modative Build will be launching this year.
When I tell people I'm an architect, they often ask, "So, do you do houses or (commercial) buildings". "Both" I answer.
Our firm has always kept our project types diverse: a fairly even split between residential and commercial. And within the residential category, there has been a healthy mix of single-family and multi-family projects. However, if there's one project type that we've done more than any other, it's clearly Small Lot Subdivision, which is really a hybrid between homes and condos. We've continued to pursue and take on these Small Lot Projects because we believe in them as the future of residential development in Los Angeles (and a lot of other places).
To show our further commitment to this unique project type, we've expanded our Small Lot Subdivision online presence with a new Small Lot Subdivision Blog and a free guide on the basics of developing Small Lot Subdivision Projects in Los Angeles.
Over the weekend I had a chance to dive into one of my favorite design magazines: Metropolis. The beauty of Metropolis is that it crosses boundaries. It's not just an architecture magazine, but covers all aspects of design.
The March 09 issue asks the question, "what is good design now?" From this profound question they list ten qualities that are hard to argue. For architects, this list makes a great checklist as you move through the design process:
The problem with sustainable design is that it's easier to talk about than to do properly. Unfortunately, green washing and marketing spin are often substitutes for real change.
Architects can't hide anymore. The word is out. The buildings we design and the energy they require generate more carbon dioxide than cars. Yes, the auto makers that we all complain about have less impact than architects and their clients. It's time to do the right thing.
What is good design if it's only available to some. Here in the US, detailed codes dictate that our built environment be accessible to those with disabilities. Often times it is important to look beyond these minimum standards.
This should be the simplest attribute of good design, but it is often the hardest to achieve. Apple makes products that look great, but at their core, they are successful by creating easy to use hardware and software that surpasses the competition.
Architects don't make anything. Our say in how well a building is built is limited to a set of instructions we provide. The end people that actually build it have little to no actual interaction with the architect. This means our instructions better be good, and just as important, easy to understand.
People rarely forget the feeling of walking into the Pantheon in Rome. Now compare that to the bland sameness found in the bulk of our suburban developments.
Not every building can be the Pantheon, but every design should be an attempt to stir the senses.
Buildings need both structural and aesthetic longevity. It's important to innovate, but you don't want a design that looks outdated before that last coat of paint dries.
The time frame for enduring is uncertain. No question the Pantheon (126 A.D.) is enduring. Is Gehry's Guggenheim (1997) in Bilbao?
Whether you like it or not, all architecture is public architecture. Architects have a responsibility to look both within and beyond the walls of our buildings to see what we can do to help.
Beauty is subjective, right?
Buildings must relate to the scale of the people that inhabit them. Often this idea is lost in the the array of 3D computer modeling technologies that architects use these days. Stop and take a step back. Put a person in that model. Even if they're digital.
This is one of the hardest for architects. The reason is simple. Architects typically get clients by waiting for the phone to ring. Someone with money, land and an idea that wants our services. This client type represents a small portion of society, yet makes up almost all of an architect's clientèle.
Creating affordable architecture is more difficult. It involves entrepreneurship on the part of the architect. An upfront investment to invent an affordable solution that the masses can afford.
So now that we've covered good design, what about great design? Great design is harder to quantify. There probably isn't a list.
One of the major components the energy efficiency of any building is insulation. Insulation is critical to maintaining comfortable indoor temperatures by either keeping the heat in or out of a building.
As sustainability gains momentum in the building industry, new products are available that rethink insulation. One of these is recycled denim insulation. Yes, old jeans. One of the leading manufactures of this green product is UltraTouch.
It even looks like your old jeans. (images from UltraTouch & Victor Insulation)
UltraTouch Natural Cotton Fiber Insulation is targeted as a replacement for traditional fiberglass insulation - the typically yellow or pink soft looking stuff you see between the studs during construction. Yes, you're probably also picturing the pink panther. If you haven't had the pleasure of handling traditional fiberglass insulation, don't. It's not pleasant stuff to to touch (itchy) or breath (can cause respiratory problems). I definitely wouldn't wear pants made of the stuff. UltraTouch on the other hand is made of safe, easy to handle, recycled denim.
UltraTouch comes in rolls and is easily installed.
So aside from this obvious point that it the product is safer for people to install, here are a few other interesting factoids:
A common question, as with most green products, is does it cost more? Well, yes, it does. How much more depends on the size of your project and the construction market. However, the short and long term benefits of this product far outweigh the upfront costs.
At Modative, we are now specifying this or similar products instead of traditional fiberglass insulation. If you are concerned about the cost, we're happy to help you compare the cost of this green product to traditional insulation.
Last week at a small ULI meeting I gave an informal presentation on our firm. The presentation was simple; our story, philosophy and a review of a few projects. In a brief Q & A afterward, I was asked a common question: "why does your firm only do modern style work?" I love this question because I feel the answer really defines who we are as a firm.
The first part of the answer is that I don't really consider "modern" to be an architectural style, but more of a way of thinking. So in the simplest terms, to us, "modern" means designing and thinking that are of our time and place.
So in this sense, modern is the absence of style because it has no rules other than being relevant. There is no set style we must follow. A building designed for California will look different than one designed for Colorado. A building designed in 2009 should look different than one designed in 1709.
Example of designing for a place: The Perry Residence - designed for one of the rainiest spots in the USA in Kauai, HI.
So are there stylistic choices we make in our work? Yes, of course, but the primary goals of all of our designs are to relate to their location and to utilize the best available technologies today to make them more efficient and environmentally responsible. Last and definitely not least, our architecture has to relate to the people that will use it in these fast changing modern times.
If you've spent any time perusing architect's websites, you'll probably notice one common theme: architects like talking about themselves and their projects. Does this mean architect's are self centered ego maniacs? Well...long pause...not necessarily. Architects, like most businesses, are somewhat obligated to tell you about themselves; show you their work, and give you a feel for if they are the right firm for you.Unfortunatly, all this "selfish" architect behavior has left us with a world wide web that is pretty void of honest useful advice for all the non-architects out there(ie. our potential clients.) Most people have the feeling that in order to get an architect's help one must hire them first.This approach seems a bit suspect, since few people, have any experience in hiring architects or understanding what it takes to start a project.So we have to ask ourselves, does all this uncertainty make people want to hire an architect? The answer: Not really.This unfortunate reallity has caused us to make a bit of a change to our site here at Modative. A shift away from architecture website norm.
Yes, our site will still mostly be about US with images of projects, profiles of the partners, and a bit about firm philosophy. However, we have added a new section called resources that is dedicated to YOU, our current and (hopefully) future clients. Our hope is that this section will help alleviate some of the uncertainty associated with starting a building project and deciding on an architect. New free resources for non-architects will be added in the coming months that will be available to anyone with a computer and internet access.An architect's website about you. How's that for some out of the box thinking?
Our long time friend and professional collaborator Kayo N. Libiano found a great quote very relevant to today's times and passed it along. I will now pass it along to you.
"Never before in the history of America has there been so great an opportunity for practical dreamers as now exists. The six-year economic collapse has reduced all men, substantially to the same level. A new race is about to be run. The stakes represent huge fortunes which will be accumulated within the next ten years. The rules of the race have changed because we now live in a changed world that definitely favors the masses, those who had but little opportunity to win under the conditions existing during the depression, when fear paralyzed growth and development.We who are in this race for riches should be encouraged to know that this changed world in which we live is demanding new ideas, new ways of doing things, new leaders, new inventions, new methods of teaching, new methods of marketing, new books, new literature, new features on radio, new ideas for moving pictures. Back of all this demand for new and better things, there is one quality which one must possess to win, and that is definiteness of purpose, the knowledge of what one wants, and a burning desire to possess it."-Napoleon Hill, from "Think and Grow Rich"First Published in 1937
With all the doom and gloom in the media today, it's refreshing to rethink these times as times of opportunity, innovation and courage. When the economic downturn all shakes out, will the winners be the ones that ran and hid? Just like back in the 1930's, sticking with the status quo will not lead to easy success. The optimists and innovators will will use this time wisely and hopefully change the world for the better in the process.
