A Wonderful Vacation Home
Wisp Me Away looks exactly like the picture! We were so excited to arrive at this beautiful home situated on the top of the mountain with incredible views of Deep Creek Lake! We had 4 teenage boys with us and the house was set up perfectly for our needs. They boys had 2 full suites in the basement that was nicely supplied with entertainment from ping pong to the hot tub. Although there wasn't much snow when we were there, we could see where the ski run was right behind the house and we can't wait to go back during ski season. The other bedrooms were private and we all had our place to retreat and a large family room we could gather for games and hanging out together. The home is decorated lovely and was so cozy with 2 fireplaces. Thanks for a great time!! "

Esh Winning 3-0 Alnwick Town
It was an afternoon to forget in County Durham, as Alnwick Town slumped to defeat at Esh Winning.
Their five-match unbeaten run came to an abrupt end at West Terrace, with the away side putting in their poorest performance of the season.
The result could have been different had Alnwick taken the limited chances that they created, but none were taken and Esh Winning obtained a comfortable 3 points.
Lewis Coyle had the opening chance of the game. Having worked his way around the goalkeeper, Stephen Young laid the ball off for Coyle around 10 yards out, but he could only manage to sidefoot the ball wide of the post.
It was a slow start from the home side, who took until the 18th minute to register their first meaningful effort on goal, a turn and shot by Kent on the edge of the box straight at Todd.
From then on, despite Alnwick huffing and puffing, attacks were breaking down in midfield and Esh were looking to punish the mistakes.
In the 21st minutes Marley turned his marker on the edge of the box and shot, only to see his effort hit the side of the post. Further attacks followed with efforts from Marley and Brown both going close.
In the 35th minute Esh took a deserved lead. Daniel Kent got in ahead of defender and goalkeeper to loop the ball into an empty net. 1-0.
In the 42nd minute a through ball from midfield looked like it would create the equaliser, but Stephen Young's attempted chip went wrong and into the arms of home keeper Fish.
The chances not taken were punished a minute before half time. A cross into the far post was attempted to be cleared by Macpherson, but it sliced off the side of his boot into the corner of the net. 2-0 down at half time and a mountain to climb.
In the second half, Alnwick started sluggishly and Kent could have all but sealed the game a minute after the restart. His effort was smashed over the bar.
Alnwick did respond, Young's one on one chance was saved by the legs of Fish, and Keenan's following effort was high and wide.
Debutant Bright gave the ball away at left back, and when a cross was lofted in a hit back across goal, Bright recovered well to clear off the line.
Midway through the 2nd half and Alnwick's best chance of the 2nd half fell to Josh Hay, but he couldn't adjust his feet in time and Fish saved to deny a comeback.
70 minutes in and it was game over. Johnathan Swift picked up the ball in the Alnwick half, took on a defender and let fly from around 20 yards to seal the game for the home side. 3-0.
Stephen Young thought he scored a late consolation, but his effort was ruled offside.
A poor day at the office, and one that Alnwick will have to get out of their system quickly, with difficult trips to Whickham and Northallerton coming up.
Alnwick: Todd, Laidlaw (Laviers), Bright, Macpherson, Hogg, Keenan, Robson (Riddell), Brown (Jackson), Young, Coyle, Hay.

Andropause clinical trials at UCSD
1 in progress, 0 open to new patients
The Testosterone Trials in Older Men
Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients
The Testosterone Trials are a multi-center set of trials involving 12 clinical sites geographically distributed across the United States. The primary specific aims are to test the hypotheses that testosterone treatment of elderly men whose serum testosterone concentrations are unequivocally low - and who have symptoms and objectively measured abnormalities in at least one of five areas that could be due to low testosterone (physical or sexual function, vitality, cognition, and anemia) - will result in more favorable changes in those abnormalities than placebo treatment. Two additional trials have been incorporated into the T Trial. Only men enrolled in the T Trial are eligible to participate in these trials. - The Cardiovascular Trial will examine if testosterone treatment results in more favorable changes in cardiovascular risk factors, compared to placebo. - The Bone Trial will test the hypothesis that testosterone treatment will increase volumetric trabecular bone mineral density (vBMD) of the lumbar spine as measured by quantitative computed tomography (QCT), compared with placebo treatment. A Pharmacokinetic (PK) Study is also being conducted within the context of the interventional T Trial. It will examine the variability of the serum testosterone (T) concentration after application of testosterone gel or placebo, four months after the start of treatment.

Five More Feet: Michael Kang is a man who likes a mystery. His Franco-Chinese restaurant in Laguna Beach (a hot spot there since 1985) is named 5'--that is, Five Feet. He'll give you all sorts of meanings for the name, but he won't tell which is the real one. Same with the new Five Feet that opened Wednesday in Le Colonial's old digs on Beverly Boulevard in West Hollywood. Five Feet could mean that the restaurant sits 5 feet above sea level, or it could mean it has three investors, one of whom is one-legged. (That's Kang's favorite story so far. Patrons keep coming up with more explanations as the years go by.) Just don't ask whether Kang is 5 feet tall. "Don't sell me short!" he'll retort. Regardless, the new West Hollywood Five Feet will serve the same sort of food as its Laguna Beach original.
"Obviously, the staples will be the same," says Kang, "the Five Feet classics." Kang will be in the kitchen himself at least three days a week working alongside executive chef Eric Nguyen, who will interpret Kang's ideas in his own ways. "But the essence will be the same," says Kang.
Dinner starters (or Flatteries, as the menu calls them) include sugar cane lollipops of shrimp ($10), lotus-wrapped baby spareribs ($12) and a carpaccio of smoked ostrich with Asian pear slaw ($10). Each entree has its own kitschy name, such as the Drunken King (sake-cured King salmon broiled with miso-black bean butter; $26), the French Connection (loup de mer in an orange-fennel broth; $27) or Luau Lamb, (a Kona-coffee-glazed lamb rack; $34). Five Feet opens for dinner at 5 p.m. nightly, with a bar and lounge that's open from 5:15 p.m. The name of the bar is, of course, 5:15.

We have a great alumni board meeting last night in the Aviation and Aerospace division. The Board met faculty, had a chance to fly the simulators, take in a demonstration of "battle space" projects and more. Even after almost a year and a half here, I find something new about what our students, faculty and staff are doing here. There is no doubt in my mind that this institution is emerging as a critical part of Colorado's educational and economic engine. And that's saying alot for we are already firmly established as Colorado's quintessential state institution of higher ed. Thanks to all who do so much for our City, state, region and beyond.

The University of Wisconsin-Madison is working with local partners to develop new applications for the "Gigabit internet" that track usage of city buses and promote rideshares of electric cars, among other things.
At a June event in Austin, Texas, US Ignite announced that the UW-Madison, partnering with the City of Madison, Madison Metro Transit and others, is one of 15 "Smart Gigabit Communities" nationwide. Each Smart Gigabit Community will develop two gigabit applications or public services that provide solutions to issues faced by that community, and they'll be shared with the other communities.
The program is sponsored by US Ignite, a public-private partnership that supports the creation of applications on gigabit Internet, a growing type of ultra-high-speed Internet access. US Ignite provides ideas, education and resources for funding and deployment.
"This program is a pivotal moment for Smart Community application development," said Glenn Ricart, co-founder and CTO of US Ignite. "The benefits of each community's program will be amplified by this network of Smart Gigabit Communities. It's innovation in a 15-community consortium where each community's contribution is multiplied by 15!"
In Madison, research and development is led by Professor Suman Banerjee, who holds a joint appointment in computer science and electrical and computer engineering. Banerjee also heads the Wisconsin Wireless Networking Systems (WiNGS) Laboratory on campus.
The Smart Gigabit Communities Initiative and US Ignite are going to encourage all of us to think differently about new technologies and how they can solve significant societal problems.
Madison's main project is called ParaDrop. It's a special WiFi router that hosts applications within the router itself, leading to a better application and end-user experience. Its potential uses touch upon many different areas, from smart homes and buildings to energy management and public safety.
Madison's other focus is transportation-related. One application tracks the usage of Madison Metro buses, allowing for detailed, real-time analysis of information like the most popular routes, ridership at different times of day and more. Such data can inform better transportation planning.
Another application under development deals with ridesharing among electric cars. Data from the cars is accessible via the Internet. Detailed information is tracked, since as a particular car's battery level, schedule and more. A driver can book a shared car knowing not only that a certain vehicle is available, but also feeling confident that the car has no maintenance problems and has enough electrical charge to make the trip.
Bruce Maas, UW-Madison's chief information officer and vice provost for information technology, serves on the steering committee overseeing Smart Gigabit activities in Madison. "This project is a great example of how innovative research by UW-Madison faculty, in partnership with community leaders and the National Science Foundation, can positively impact the economy and lives of citizens of Wisconsin."
Said Banerjee, "The Smart Gigabit Communities Initiative and US Ignite are going to encourage all of us to think differently about new technologies and how they can solve significant societal problems. It gives us an opportunity to really dream big and touch lives in local communities in a very positive way."
The Smart Gigabit Communities initiative is sponsored by the National Science Foundation and will also be supported by US Ignite partners including Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Juniper, Mozilla, Internet2, Viavi Solutions and others.

Beautiful composition of the 2 bobcats. I love the loose expressive work.
These cats are all over Wyoming. In fact, we had a half-bobcat that was the barn mouser. Never friendly, it stayed at its own whim and the warm milk father left in the small bucket after milking. He lived with us for years before finally disappearing. Your work is beautiful.

Bear with me, I will post anything new as I finish them.

Will be gone for at least 8 weeks 04-09-16: I just want to let every one know that I will probably be absent...

Pimp My Knife! - Victorinox refurbishment project
As it was, Øyvind already had the Victorinox in question, but he believed it was to old and to ugly looking compared to the rest of his magnificent collection. He then came up with a cool suggestion. I could do a rehandle on his Victorinox. A "Pimp My Knife" project.
The Victorinox is a mid-end blade, higly commercialized and not exactly an eye-catcher. No matter its humble pedigree, it is a blade that is actually one of the very best in what it is designed to do. It is a long time favourite amongst European chefs, and I doubt that you will find a professional kitchen in Europe without at least one of these knives. It is called "The world's best bread knife", and as far as cutting bread or cakes, I have not come across any knife that does it better.
To cut a long story short...
The blade and handle sure had some issues that needed fixing, so I accepted Øyvind's challenge to "pimp" his Victorinox. The starting point was a bit depressing looking, and I sure wondered what I could do to the knife to make it shine again.
First task was to get the old, cracked handle off without damaging the blade. Drilling out the rivets, which were aluminum, was easily done. At this stage I also sharpened the blade on the back side with a #1200 Aluminum oxide stone to bring out a fresh serrated edge. This grit made it fairly sharp while keeping the toothiness required to cut bread and especially crust effectively. I would later remove the scratches when satin polishing the blade.
Next up was to find a nice piece of wood to fit as the new handle. I wanted to keep the semi-hidden tang from the original handle, so I needed a block rather than scales for this one. I know Øyvind and he is a lover of curly and burly woods. I happened to have one that was both curly and burly, and it was Norwegian as well. A nice stabilized block of exhibition grade Masur birchwood.
I wanted to make a handle that had a little more belly and palm swell than the original handle, but still keep the light feel of the knife and its grip-friendlyness to both large and small hands. I thus made a rather highly contoured shape with a good palm swell but with narrower grip towards the blade.
I was wondering what to to to make the knife a little more special looking. After all this was a "Pimp My Knife" project. A knife I had seen on an exhibition a few weeks earlier gave me the idea. Fileworking the spine in the handle. So I started out experimenting on how this could be done as easy and consistent as possible. I ended up using my high power Dremel with an extention cord and a small sanding drum with a #120 grit aluminum oxide paper. This worked like a charm!
Next up was to attach the blade to its new handle and align everything. I sanded out a little extra space in the slot for the tang to fit a couple of black fiber spacers to give a better contrast for the file worked spine.
To finish the handle I used #220, #400, #600, #1200 and #2000 sanding paper followed by a light wood buff on the wood and a green metal buff for the spine and the pins. I also fitted a nice mosaic pin to give it that final "Pimped" look. I gave the blade a nice satin finish with a #1200 fibercloth doped with aoto powder, giving the blade back the as-new finish.
Thanks for reading.

Thanks. I had a lot of fun doing this one. The transformation was very rewarding as it was so visible.ReplyDelete
Harald very soon some of my knifes will end at you :)ReplyDelete
You are very close to get perfect handles !!!
Thanks Max, glad you like it :o)ReplyDelete
This material was very easy to work with and gave great results. I am looking for a stable source for this stuff. Should look equally well for both wa and western, and as it is stabilized it will hold up pretty well in professional kitchens too.
This knife is somehow become my favorite!ReplyDelete
Thanks again my friend. Awesome craftmanship!
Thanks, Øyvind.ReplyDelete

When I was in elementary school, there was a boy in my class who was a nose picker. This was also the same boy that would pick at his scabs with a compass and eagerly watch the scab ooze more disgusting yuck on his arm. For obvious reasons, this poor boy was somewhat of a social outcast, generally mocked and avoided at all costs. And yet, here I am, twenty plus years later, proudly proclaiming that this boy and I have one thing in common. We are both nose pickers.
The difference is that while this boy happily dug around for treasure in his nose, I pick my daughter's nose. Yes. That's right, I pick my daughter's nose. Let me explain. Baby Bean is my beautiful, fantastic, truly amazing baby girl. She is just past 6 months and as she can not pick her own nose, nor does she have the ability to blow her nose, I find myself digging around in there for her.
When we first brought her home from the hospital, I was terrified. Aren't all new parents? I could handle the feeding, the diapering, the constant rocking and singing, but I could not and would not suck the boogies out. My dear husband was given that responsibility since I refused. I couldn't use the aspirator and if I did try, those boogers would stubbornly cling to her nasal cavity, refusing to go anywhere. Baby Bean would cry and fuss. I felt like my attempts were futile.
Thankfully, my husband mastered the booger sucking early on. I was more tentative. I'd study various booger sucking tools online, reading the numerous commentary from booger sucking enthusiasts. I bought 4 different aspirators, convincing myself that all these purchases were necessary in my pursuit of the beguiling booger.
Eventually I found that the greatest tool was my very own finger. Sure Baby Bean will fuss and cry for the 30 seconds it takes for me to grab the booger with my finger, but the crying pales in comparison to the satisfaction I feel after having acquired the target booger. Baby Bean and I both breath a little easier.
I have found that since becoming a mom, I do all sorts of things that I never thought I'd do before. Nose picking was just the beginning.

Unseen Amsterdam 2017 presents a magnificent event designed to build, nurture and celebrate photographic talent. This year's festivities includes an array of exciting new programme elements which are dedicated to our ethos of new work and young talent. Unseen Amsterdam includes the Fair, CO-OP, the Book Market, the Living Room, Onsite Projects, the Exhibition and our City Programme.
Friday: 11:00 - 21:00
Saturday: 11:00 - 20:00
Sunday: 11:00 - 17:00
At the Fair, Unseen welcomes over 50 galleries from around the world, connecting and inspiring artists, curators, collectors and photography enthusiasts on an international level. The leading galleries for 2017 will be Danziger Gallery (USA), Purdy Hicks Gallery (UK), Christophe Guye Galerie (CH), G/P (JP) and many more.
Unseen prides itself on its international reach with 30% of the fair's VIPs coming from across the globe to attend the event. Within the fair, artists are encouraged to present premiering works. An Unseen Premiere is work that has never been shown before at an art fair, in a gallery or within an institution. Premiering artists of 2017 will include Todd Hido (USA), Ricardo Cases (SP), Peggy Franck (NL) and Gregory Halpern (USA). Over 50 artists showcasing their work at Unseen Amsterdam will be presenting a premiere.
CO-OP is dedicated to cutting edge, artist-run collectives in order for them to present challenging and pioneering works of art, presentation modes and new commercial formats. This new element to Unseen's programme puts the artists first and has been set up to stimulate collaborations between artists, as well as approaching the art commerce in novel and unconventional ways to create more sustainable careers for collectives. Together CO-OP's curator Lars Willumeit and Unseen have selected 13 international collectives to launch the first edition of Unseen CO-OP.
Book Market
At the Book Market, Unseen celebrates the printed and bound counterpart of image-making: photobooks. This space gives more than 60 international independent book-makers a platform to present their recent publications to an international audience. 2017 will also mark the sixth year of the Unseen Dummy Award, the award winner is selected by an international jury and will receive a grant to make his or her very first publication.
The Living Room
The Living Room brings together creatives and influencers from across the globe for a three-day speakers programme jam-packed with lectures and debates about the state of photography today. This year's Unseen Living Room is co-produced by the Barbican (UK) and the Tucson Center for Creative Photography (USA).
The City Programme
To coincide with our main programme, Unseen Amsterdam has an interactive city and on-site programme. The City Programme invites visitors to be challenged, inspired and excited by bringing together many of the city's leading institutions, galleries, artists and initiatives into a diverse programme, using photography in unexpected and provocative ways.
Onsite Projects
Various interactive onsite projects are created annually in order to allow the visitors of Unseen to come in contact with a variety of artists and their practices. At Unseen Amsterdam 2017, second year students of the KABK (The Royal Academy of Art The Hague) will be showcasing the work that they have created during their past academic year. The students, in collaboration with their teachers Broomberg & Chanarin and Raimond Wouda, will be given the opportunity to present their work in an outdoor exhibition which for many will be their very first public outdoor show.
The Exhibition
Photo Pleasure Palace
Thomas Mailaender and Erik Kessels are both artists who work with the re-appropriation of images. They're compulsive collectors of photographs and keen observers of sociological patterns. Additionally they both take the absurd and ridiculous very, very seriously. That being said it comes as no real surprise that these two get along like dynamite and matches. For Unseen Amsterdam 2017 they've created the 'Photo Pleasure Palace' a special place where you can come to have fun and set your mind on fire after spending a day exploring Unseen Amsterdam. Kessels and Mailaender welcome you to their weird-and-wonderland, a place where pleasure is guaranteed and photos are in imminent danger. The exhibition will take place in the Zuiveringshal on the Westergasterrein.

Glass contamination because of atmospheric conditions and / or irregular cleaning patterns leaving glass requiring chemical glass cleaning treatment
During our work, we have been constantly working on high profile glass buildings that are suffering from heavy glass contamination which will not come clean with just a soapy wash. In our experience, this level of contamination will only occur on glass which doesn't have regular cleans as part of a maintenance strategy, resulting in lime scale build-up, or is situated near a building site, heavy traffic or a train station and has been subject high levels of airborne contamination.
When contaminants remain on the outer surface of the glass it is possible that the contamination will etch the outer surface, possibly due to sodium ion deletion. The building contamination may contain cementitious dust, most likely from local building works. Cement/concrete contains lime which is alkaline; the surface of the glass will be etched because of long term exposure to an alkaline so a chemical clean will combat this build up.
The only option may be polishing of the glass surface to remove the pits and fissures, creating a smoother surface. If the surface of the glass has been etched then the surface is essentially 'rougher' than when first produced on the float line. The various pits and fissures which have been formed increase the angles at which the light is refracted, which in turn can create a haze like appearance.
We can complete the clean by abseil or using the house BMU. The only issue when using the BMU to complete a large amount of chemical cleaning is damage to the basket; using chemicals over an extensive period will result in significant corrosion to the basket.
Our rope access equipment has been thoroughly tested with the chemicals we use. The chemical does reduce the strength of webbing, which is why we destroy all harnesses and ropes at the end of each chemical clean contract we complete and we monitor the exposure of the equipment continually.
An abseil clean is quicker than using a BMU and does eliminate BMU reliability issues and chemical damage and leaves the plant available for any other maintenance works that may be required.
For extreme staining which has etched the glass surface beyond the point a chemical clean will suffice, we can offer our polishing service which incorporates the use of our cutting-edge paste, which is not only infinitely cleaner than using a traditional cerium oxide (pumice powder) it also provides a better clean and has non-distortive capabilities avoiding optical dishing in the polished glass. Before each clean we conduct a free trial to ensure the best solution possible is used to bring the glass back as close to the factory finish as possible.

In order to fully appreciate the relationship between Jimmy Carter and the town of Plains, Georgia, there must be an understanding of the geographical features of the region in which they were both developed.
Wildlife and Other Resources
The Jimmy Carter National Historic Site is located in what is part of the southwest Georgia Costal Plain's Flint River region which covers approximately 8,400 miles. The waters of the region contain various types of fish, such as catfish, bass, perch and carp. The woodland wildlife in the area consists of animals such as deer, turkey, duck, opossum, raccoon and fox. There are an abundance of birds in the area and include cardinals, bluebirds and bluejays.
The Boyhood Farm also hosts a colony of honeybees that assist with the pollination of the crops on the farm. Mr. Earl Carter used honeybees to pollinate the crops on his farm and for the honey that was produced by the bees which was sold in the farm commissary store.
The majority of the soil in the region is sandy loams that are acidic and infertile. Because of the lack of lime content the soil requires fertilization and other additional augmentation for crop cultivation. The upland soils are well-drained and support crops such as cotton, corn, peanuts, tobacco, pastures, small grains, soybeans and similar plants. The majority of the earth bed in Sumter County is comprised of burnt umber, oxblood and bright red ferrous hues.
Various trees and plants including sweet and black gum, red and sweet bay, tupelo, hickory, red, white and water oaks grow in the watershed. Long leaf and yellow pine, persimmon, post and upland willow oak, and black walnut accompany the introduced species of pecan and peach in the uplands.
Industrial pollution problems are minimal and the region remains, for the most part, rural and agriculturally based. Summers are hot, averaging above 80 degrees with fall and winter bringing mild and rainy weather with temperatures averaging around 50 degrees. Springtime brings a landscape that is green and punctuated with the whites, pinks, and reds of the magnolia, chestnut, and peach trees along the pastel yellows of the honeysuckle bushes. The intoxicating fragrance that is produced designate that it is springtime in the region.

Hi y'all! Its Sheena here with How to Style, and today we are focusing on ruffles. Ruffles are one of the most romantic looks you can go for. They just fall away from the body and add a lot to a look. I decided to go with high low crop ruffle top and pair it with ruffle pants and pumps. I made the all black look pop with red earrings.
If you are meant to stand out you could go FULL ON RUFFLE, like the look below. Not only is it white but you're guaranteed to stand out in any crowd. Consider yourself walking art.
Kaia Gerber was spotted rocking the ruffle trend in a pale blue two piece with cold shoulders. This look was made for the red carpet.
Why not pair a fur coat with ruffle pants, and a pair of single strap heels, I guarantee this look will turn heads

Paris Walker Rogers
26 weeks, interventional patent ductus arteriosus closure
At 1 pound, 9 ounces at 25 weeks gestation, Paris Walker Rogers was born with a patent ductus arteriosus that caused her oxygen saturation to stay dangerously low.
Paris' parents, Marquita and Edward, worried she was too small for a PDA ligation, or surgical repair. Cardiac Interventionalist Shyam Sathanandam, MD, proposed repairing the PDA with a transcatheter technique. At 2.03 kilograms (kg), Paris was half the size of many babies who undergo the procedure.
"Small preemie babies have tiny blood vessels which makes the trans-catheter device closure of PDA a challenging technique," Shyam said.
Because the procedure is performed in the cath lab, preemies benefit from the less invasive procedure, which often shortens their length of stay in the hospital.
Today, Paris is a healthy, typical 15-month-old with no lasting effects of her early days in the hospital.
"We are so thankful for Dr. Shyam and the entire Le Bonheur staff. We believe this surgery saved her life," said Marquita. "Her little body was just so fragile, I don't believe she would have survived a more invasive surgery."
To date, Shyam and his team have performed 17 PDA closures on children who weigh less than 2.5 kgs, eight of whom are between 1-1.5kg.


text: The Food Trust wanted a single image to communicate their unique approach to improving food access. We created a circular infographic to suggest movement and progress as well as the connection between The Food Trust's programs. Each color-blocked quadrant features icons representing various initiatives—a carrot to represent Philly Food Bucks for example—and the typography and palette throughout reflect key Food Trust brands. We titled the graphic "Reimagining the Community Foodscape," infusing industry slang with newfound excitement and potential. The infographic is designed to work in print and projected presentations and serves as the centerpiece of an interactive feature on their website.

Ken Lowney speaks at the 2018 AIA Conference in New York
Ken Lowney recently delivered a presentation on "Mixed-use that really works" at the 2018 AIA conference held at the Jacob Javits center New York.
Bisnow: Why this Architecture firm has staked his claim in Oakland
For Ken Lowney, architecture is not about the glory of creating an iconic building, but about improving communities and making cities better. Lowney, founder and principal of Lowney Architecture, is doing just that in Oakland, where he and his staff are designing a number of high-profile projects.
Lowney Architecture has designed some of Oakland's smallest housing units and its tallest buildings. The firm's latest project, a 440-foot tower on Harrison Street, is among the current projects that excite Lowney the most. The mixed-use high-rise will create 185 residential units, 120K SF of office and a community market on the ground floor and will become the city's tallest building. Lowney's desire to improve communities through architecture was sparked by his travels in Europe, where he and his dad, an engineer, spent time looking at different types of buildings. His travels made him more aware of the impact buildings have on society. "Collections of buildings make cities," he said. After receiving his bachelor's degree in philosophy at Occidental College, Lowney considered going into law, but his real interest was in what makes society. He found architecture was a way to combine his interests. Lowney's first job was at a big firm with 80 people where he would copy blueprints. At night, Lowney took drafting classes, and after six or nine months, he took a chance and asked his bosses if he could work on drafting and they told him he could. After a couple of years of drafting, he went back to school to get his master's degree in architecture at Southern California Institute of Architecture, which is known for testing the limits of design.
After designing single-family homes in the Hollywood Hills, Lowney moved to New York City to work for Gensler, where he worked on office tenant improvements. He eventually transferred to the San Francisco Gensler office, where he was able to design office buildings and hotels and campuses. After the first tech bust occurred, he was laid off. Lowney decided to go out on his own instead of joining another firm. He had always thought of having his own office since his dad owned an engineering firm, Lowney Associates. "I thought there would be more freedom [starting my own firm], but it is a lot of work and responsibility," Lowney said. "Sometimes that is good and sometimes that is bad." Lowney Architecture has been in Oakland for 15 years, growing significantly in the last seven years. It has been expanding its portfolio to include all parts of the Bay Area and Hawaii. Lowney said he plans to increase the firm's San Jose portfolio in 2018.
Why Lowney Architecture Loves Oakland
Lowney's decision to work in Oakland was originally a matter of convenience. While at Gensler, Lowney lived in Oakland and commuted into San Francisco. When he started his own firm, he liked the idea of working where he lived. Today, Lowney Architecture's Oakland portfolio is within blocks of its office in Downtown Oakland. "So much of our work is just right here," Lowney said. "We can walk to it and ride our bikes to it and pass by our sites." Lowney Architecture Project Manager Eric Price was Lowney's first employee and worked on the firm's first project, which was to redevelop the Cox Cadillac dealership into a Whole Foods. The project increased density North of Grand Avenue and brought in a much-needed large grocery store. "It was exciting to be part of something that represented change at a rather high level," Price said. "Grocery is a very interesting project type because it is cool and serves a lot of people." Price said Lowney is driven to make Oakland better and there are plenty of opportunities to improve Oakland. "He's great to work with," Price said. "He is a positive figure and he is optimistic." What is most attractive about working at Lowney Architecture is the collaboration and comaraderie, Price said. Unlike other firms where work is done top down with a couple of people in charge of projects and other doing the design grunt work, everyone is involved in the design process at Lowney Architecture, according to Price. The staff will combine their design ideas and sketches and come up with the best solutions, Price said.
Oakland itself has provided a great landscape for growth and change, and Lowney Associates has been a big part of the city's recent evolution. The firm started out doing the bulk of its work in retail, but now does more work in housing and other projects with a handful of retail, according to Lowney. The projects Lowney Architecture is working on include a Moxy Hotel at West Grand and Telegraph and a 1,000-unit housing complex in West Oakland with Panoramic Interests. "Oakland is undergoing a very positive transformation, adding more people and more housing," Lowney said. "It's getting more interesting and exciting to be living here." The most interesting and challenging project Lowney worked on in Oakland was the redevelopment of the Safeway shopping center on College Avenue. The project went through five years of entitlements, and community interaction and engagement. Lowney said he learned about what works and what makes people angry. Community engagement got everyone involved and there was a better outcome and better building that works for the community, he said.
Oakland's Economic Boom Is Creating New Problems, Opportunities
Despite the economic and development activity, there has been an influx of homeless people in Oakland, Lowney said. "Homelessness is a terrible shadow side to all this great growth we're experiencing," Lowney said. Oakland declared a shelter crisis in 2015, which freed up the planning process to make it possible to build cheaper, faster homes for the homeless. But not much as been done since then. The most tangible effort made is Panoramic Interests' development of micro-pad modular units that could be used to house the homeless, according to Lowney. Lowney said he is particularly passionate about the work his firm has done on modular housing because it can help solve the housing crisis and provide housing options for homeless people. Modular housing can create housing at 20% of the cost and decrease construction time up to 40%, he said. His firm has done five modular projects so far throughout the Bay Area. While fixing homelessness is a complex problem, Lowney said it is cheaper to put people in houses than leaving them on the street, where cities have to use police and medical resources to respond to a crisis. "We have to at a certain point stop pushing people around and recognize their humanity and fix the problem," Lowney said.

Marriott-branded boutique hotel planned for Uptown Oakland
The boutique hotel boom is headed to Oakland via a Minneapolis developer's proposal to replace an Uptown gas station with a 173-room Marriott-branded hotel.
Graves Hospitality is proposing to demolish the existing station at 2225 Telegraph Ave. and replace it with a seven-story Moxy Hotel, including a full-service restaurant on the ground floor.
The Minneapolis developer expects to close on the land once it secures all the entitlements.
Neither Graves nor its applicant for the project, Oakland-based Lowney Architecture, responded to requests for comment.
Bisnow: Why this Cycle is Different for Oakland Multifamily
Developing in Oakland is a point of pride for St. Regis Properties Director of Development Sam Remcho. While the Oakland native started his career as a broker, he always wanted to develop and loved the idea of working with land and construction. He teamed up with St. Regis Properties Chairman John Allen and President Nick Allen in 2012. The family-owned Bay Area-based business has since made strides to build more housing in Oakland and throughout the country.
"We like Oakland because of the people, the open space, the ease of transportation, the great weather, the employment opportunities and the overall quality of life," Remcho said. St. Regis Properties is part of a growing group of developers building housing in Oakland. With housing projects becoming too difficult to pencil and more red tape in San Francisco, developers are preferring to build housing in the East Bay, where the housing need and demand is just as high. Large employers also are moving into Oakland and the East Bay, where many of their employees live. Oakland has shed its label of being a secondary market to San Francisco, and developers are recognizing it as a market unto itself. "Oakland has its own culture and own attraction," Remcho said. "You can do everything you want here. There is fine dining and entertainment." Housing is in high demand in Oakland as well and new projects are leasing up quickly. St. Regis Properties has three projects in the works and one completed project. Its first Oakland project, Idora, a JV with Signature Development in the Temescal neighborhood, is nearly leased up since it was completed in April. The 33-unit apartment complex includes 2,400 SF of retail, which could be filled in part by a restaurant, according to Remcho.

Albany Sprouts Grand Opening
We are pleased to announce our project with Oppidan Investment Company, Sprouts Albany had its official opening on April 26th 2017. This grocery-store-anchored shopping center is 28,000 SF, alongside two secondary retail buildings currently under construction, comprising a total of 45,000 SF. The land features a pedestrian and bicycle path and trail, as well as a public art piece currently underway.
The land is leased from the University of California and frames a gateway into graduate student housing at UC Village beyond, serving the local community in Albany, CA as well as the students.
Hale Mahana Groundbreaking and Blessing
Today, the project site of Hale Mahana Collegiate Apartments had its groundbreaking ceremony and a traditional blessing from a Hawaiian Kahuna. Lowney Architecture's Ken Lowney and Brian Nee visited the site along with the Honolulu City Manager, University of Hawaii president, city council members, Laconia, and EDR.
The project, located at 2615 South King Street in Honolulu, Hawaii, will be home to nearly 600 students attending the University of Hawaii. At 14 stories high and with student amenities on the top floor, the project will have unparalleled views of the rest of the island. Additionally, the public will have access to retail shops on the first floor, as well as the 6,000 square feet of on-site public landscaping.
Foundation work is slated to begin in the next week or so. For more information and updated time-lapse pictures of the site, you can visit https://app.oxblue.com/open/EDR/skingstreet.
Exclusive: Huge Oakland Tower Plan Combines Housing, Office, and Retail
Publication: San Francisco Business Times

The proposal is one of the largest among over a dozen highrise plans recently approved and proposed in Oakland. It would be the only one to combine residential and office space. No towers have yet started construction, but Lennar Multifamily's 1640 Broadway and Gerding Edlen's 1700 Webster St. have filed for building permits.
"We envision a vibrant mixed-use project along a major transit corridor that hits the trifecta of what Oakland needs right now," said Ronnie Turner, a spokesman for Pinnacle Development Group and project consultant, in a statement. "Housing, office, and retail."
In June, a pre-application was filed for a smaller 15-story tower at 1261 Harrison St., but the new, larger proposal will combine the adjacent parcel and span the northern half of an entire block.
Another Successful Tour
Lowney Architect Tony Valadez led a hard hat tour of Lowney's Chow Oakland on Saturday, September 24th. Participants learned about this unique project which includes a hybridized program: part food market, part restaurant, part café, and part commercial bakery, and which intentionally blurs the line between interior and exterior. The project is an adaptive re-use of and addition to an existing building with (almost) every type of construction represented: masonry, cast in place concrete, original wood and sheathing, new dimensional and engineered lumber, and existing and new steel. Construction is slated to be done in January 2017.
Kwik Way Plans Receive Broad Community Support

After years of scrapped plans and benign neglect, Oakland's moldering Kwik Way Drive-In is on the brink of demolition.
The midcentury diner, which over the last decade has intermittently shuttered and reopened on Lake Park Avenue, may soon be replaced by a five-story housing and retail development that will stand as tall as the nearby Grand Lake Theater. Though the project is still in its early stages, it appears to have near-unanimous support from a neighborhood where residents have quibbled for 12 years over what to do with the site.
"This site has been pretty controversial in the past," said Councilman Abel Guillen, who represents the Lake Merritt district. "But you fast-forward to now, and we're in this housing crunch, and this (property) is way underutilized."
