One of the most cost-effective steps you can make in advancing your homebrewing skills, while still producing great beer, is to start partial mashing. Partial mashing is an intermediate step between extract brewing and all-grain brewing. It uses all the steps of all-grain brewing, but is smaller in scale and still relies on malt extract to provide the majority of the fermentables. Partial mashing requires less equipment than all-grain brewing - less space and money - and offers higher flexibility than steeping for extract brewing.
For containers 2 gallons in size, this method allows you to use about 4 pounds of grain; 3 gallons allows you to go to 6 pounds of grain. Grain gives you fewer points of gravity per pound than malt extract, but is significantly cheaper. The cost of upgrading to partial mashing will be recouped over the course of a few batches due to this balance. Beyond this, some grains offer significantly greater character when mashed than when steeped.
Steeping and mashing, by the way, are fundamentally different. When you steep grains, you don't need to worry so much about the temperature of the process because the desired result doesn't require enzymatic action. Mashing implies that you want enzymes acting on the starch molecules in the grain, thus you have to pay attention to the temperature to make sure you are in the proper range for the enzymes you want to be doing the majority of the work. Denaturing enzymes is also a risk and will happen if you raise the temperature too far.
Fermentability is affected by the enzymatic activity. By using a lower temperature mash, you can make the wort produced by it more fermentable; using a hotter mash, you can make it less fermentable. Extract brewers sometimes have attenuation issues (wherein the yeast do not ferment out as much of the sugar available as the brewer expects them to), so being able to drive up the fermentability of the wort will allow better attenuation numbers.
Partial mashing doesn't require much in the way of equipment. You might have all of it laying around already, actually, and can source it very cheaply if you don't. There are generally three different types of partial mashing, one of which could be converted to all-grain brewing equipment if you're so inclined. All of them are, technically, Brew in a Bag methods, but don't concern yourself with that too much unless you're doing a bit of research. Basically, you need a container or two capable of holding the grist (the grain and water), a mesh bag that fills out the volume of your container, a drain valve, and a pitcher or large pyrex measuring cup.
Cooler setup: If you opt for this method, you will need a drink cooler that's either 2 or 3 gallons. Drink coolers can go up to 10 gallons, but stick with something small to start with. This is the way I chose to go.
Bucket setup: You need a bottling bucket. A cinch. Though I don't use this system, there are benefits to it: It uses equipment you probably already have, costs a bit less and is very easy to scale to larger volumes and/or allows you to use thinner mash thicknesses, which are a bit more than this particular node intends to go into.
Two kettles: It may or may not be more of an investment, but if you have two large kettles around, it will work. One of them should be your boil kettle; both should be a minimum of 8 quarts, 12 quarts would be better.
So now that you've got your equipment, there are two more things. Before we change process, you need to refactor your recipe. When you change over, you'll need to figure out a few things. Recipes are pretty easily divided into two categories and they need to be addressed separately.
Before you start either process, you will need to determine how much grain you can mash in your vessel. Go to Green Bay Rackers' calculator page, scroll down to, "Can I mash it?" and change the grain weight downward until you reach your mashtun's volume. You can fiddle with the mash thickness: On the low end, 1.0qt/lb is do-able; on the high end, you will want to use a maximum of 2.0qts/lb.
All Grain to Partial Mash: More complicated than going from extract to partial mashing, but much more doable than going from all grain to extract. Before you start, check that the recipe you are converting does not have more specialty grain than your vessel can hold; preferably, you want about half of the grains being used to be specialty grains and half to be base malts.
Convert the base malt in the recipe into malt extract. If the recipe uses American 2 Row, find the plainest malt extract; Pilsener malt is replaced with Pilsener extract; etc. I would suggest search around online to find recommendations for replacement.
After you've done that, proceed as below and act like you're converting extract to partial mash.
Extract to Partial Mash: First, determine the proper base malt to replace malt extract. If you're using American light malt extract, 2 Row is the best choice; higher color malt extracts require additions of specialty grains to match the color. Pilsener malt extract is replaced by Pilsener malt; British malt extract with Marris Otter (anecdote: other homebrewers have suggested that a few ounces of Victory/Biscuit malt added to a large amount of 2 Row will simulate Marris Otter).
Once you've figured out what malts to replace your extract with, you need to figure out how much to replace. Mass of base malt to mash = Maximum grain mass - Mass of specialty grains. Example: If you are able to mash 6lbs of grain and need to use 2lbs of specialty grain, you will be using 4lbs of base malt.
Skippable explanation: If you want to wind up with a beer that is close in specific gravity to the recipe, you will need to remove some malt extract. Dried malt extract generally contributes around 45-47 points of gravity per pound per gallon (hereafter, pppg); liquid malt extract contributes about 35-37pppg. Base malts can contribute around 35pppg, but will only actually give you a percentage of that. Assume you will only get 60% of the sugar out of it, so 21pppg. Ignore the gallon term and think, "It cancels out."
For liquid malt extract: Mass of LME to remove = (Mass of base malt * 21 points)/35 points. For dried malt extract: Mass of DME to remove = (Mass of base malt * 21 points)/45 points Example: 1.5lbs of 2 row * 21 points = ~35 points / 35 points = 1lb of LME.
Next, determine the amount of wort you will get out of your mash. That wort is called the first runnings. Grain absorbs about .5 quarts of water per pound. Wort volume = (Mash thickness in quarts per pound * Pounds of grain) - (Pounds of grain * .5 quarts). Example: First runnings volume = (1.25qts/lb * 6lbs) - (6lbs * .5qts/lb) = 4.5qts
Determining the strike water volume and sparge water volume is even simpler: Strike/sparge water volume = Mash thickness * Mass of grains.
Final, simple step: Determining the foundation water. Determine how much wort you want in your kettle, then subtract the volume of the first runnings and the sparge water. The foundation water can be heated in your boil kettle before the mash is finished, to make the whole process a little faster.
Once you have your recipe redesigned and ingredients purchased (don't forget to mill your malts!), you're ready to brew. It's going to be somewhat similar to an extract brew day, but with some important differences. Make sure the valve (if one is present) on your mashing vessel (hereafter, the MLT or mash/lauter tun) is closed. To begin with, put some water on to boil in a small pot; in a larger kettle, bring 1.25 quarts of water per pound of grain to ~166degF (hereafter, this is your strike water). Once the smaller pot of water is at a boil, pour it in the MLT. The reason for doing this is that you have to account for thermal mass within the system; by preheating the MLT, you'll eliminate it from the equation. Anyways, cap the MLT until the strike water is ready to go.
Once the strike water is ready to go, empty the now-preheated MLT of water. Pour in the strike water. Put the mesh bag into it, making sure it doesn't collapse. Pour the milled grain into the grain bag and mix it around in the water very thoroughly. It should not have any dry spots. Check the temperature, making sure it is about 150-155degF. (The grains will suck about 11degF out of the water to come up to temperature.) If it is below that, add boiling water to bring it up to about 152degF. Mix thoroughly. After this, cap up the vessel and set a timer for 45 minutes.
At 45 minutes, you will need to start heating the sparge water (whose volume you determined earlier). It should be at 165degF or so, but don't worry too much. If you have to use any foundation water, begin heating it in your boil kettle. Once your 60 minute timer goes off, begin to draw off the wort from the mash. If you are using buckets or a cooler, open the valve and run about 1 quart of the wort into your pyrex measuring cup or pitcher, then pour it on top of the mash gently. (Don't just dump it in there; pour it as if you were pouring a cup of tea.) Do this two more times. This is vorlaufing, recirculation of wort to increase clarity. It should cut down on the amount of grain bits coming out of the mash.
After you've finished vorlaufing, drain the wort from the MLT into the boil kettle (with any foundation water you might have been heating). Set it on your burner and start heating it to a boil. After you've done that, pour the sparge water into your MLT and mix the grain into it. Cover the MLT and allow it to sit for about 10 minutes. In the meantime, stare at your boil kettle meaningfully.
Once you've resigned yourself to your fate, begin to vorlauf the wort in the MLT again. After recirculating a couple of times, pour the wort into the boil kettle to join the rest of your wort.
For those using a two-kettle setup: Rather than draining the wort from the kettle (assuming it lacks a ball valve), remove the grain bag from the first kettle and allow it to empty itself of wort. Then, dunk the bag into the second kettle (the one with the sparge water) and mix up the grains within the bag to expose to water. Allow it to sit ten minutes, remove the bag and allow it to drain into the kettle. Once it finishes draining, put the bag elsewhere, then pour the contents of the second kettle into the other kettle.
From here on out, proceed as you would in an extract brewday. Add extract, boil, add hops, chill, pitch yeast.
There are a few variables which I assumed certain values for. You can modify most of them with fairly predictable results. There are ranges you shouldn't go beyond. I'm not going to go into too much depth on what will happen, as things get complicated very quickly. Mash temperature: Changing the mash temperature will change the fermentability of the wort. 155degF is a bit above the middle of the useful range and should give you wort that's roughly as fermentable as what extract is. Temperatures from 140degF to 160degF are usable, with lower temperatures producing more fermentable wort. Mash thickness: By lowering the mash thickness (increasing the amount of water per pound of grain), you produce a thinner mash. Thinning the mash can increase efficiency of the mash. This is useful if you're getting lower-than-expected efficiency. Mashing as thinly as you can is Values from 1.0qts/lb to 2.0qts/lb comprise the standard range of thicknesses. I would suggest mashing as thinly as possible while still being able to fit the wort from the strike water and the sparge water into your boil kettle. Mash length: Longer mashes generally produce a more fermentable wort. Conversion of starches is usually finished within 30 minutes or so, but the wort is significantly less fermentable at this point than at 60 minutes. Generally, recipes call for a 60 minute mash.

This also happens unnaturally in laboratories and Star Trek, Star trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine as well as many other places.
Reproduction through mitosis, creating a new, genetically identical individual. Humans and most of the animals and plants that humans think about reproduce sexually. Many plants and 'lower animals' reproduce both sexually and asexually; there are some single-celled organisms that reproduce only through asexual means.
Asexual reproduction tends to be fast, convenient (no need to go hunting for a mate), and a good way to pump out a stable, healthy population. Of course, if the environment is undergoing change, sexual reproduction can be an important aid to adaptation. Asexual reproduction is essentially producing clones, with almost no variations between individuals (what variation there is, is due to mutation).

Attention all exporting members...Call for Evidence - House of Lords Select Committee on SME Exports - deadline September 14th
18 Jul 2012
Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises are central to the UK economy, providing nearly 60% of private sector employment. Exports provide important opportunities for SMEs to grow. A new ad hoc Committee, chaired by Lord Cope of Berkeley, has been established by the House of Lords to examine what the Government is doing to assist and promote SME exports.
In May 2011, UK Trade and Investment, the Government export promotion body, unveiled their strategy.1 They stated that "succeeding in international markets" is essential to "rebuilding the economy at home in a balanced and sustainable way". One year on, it is
timely to assess the progress of UKTI and other Government bodies in promoting SME exports.
We are seeking answers, particularly from SMEs, to the questions and any related matters. The submissions we receive will guide the Committee's deliberations in oral evidence sessions which will take place later in the year and also inform the Committee's
final conclusions and recommendations when it reports in February 2013.
Are you an SME export success story?
The Committee want to understand why some SMEs have succeeded in exporting, why others have been less successful and why some have chosen not to sell overseas at all. We are, therefore, very interested to hear from individual SMEs which are able to provide an example of any of these situations.
The Committee
The Committee members bring years of business and political experience to the inquiry. A brief biography of each member of the Committee is set out at the end of this Call for Evidence.
Please click here to download the questions and for information on submitting your response.

Vintage denim vest? Thrifted. Vintage shorts? Thrifted. Clutch? Estate sale. Flats? DSW. Michael Kors rose gold watch? Thrifted.
When I go thrifting, I'm invariably attracted to the weird and unusual. These are things most people pass by, like sequined sweaters and suede shorts and gold taffeta evening gowns and acid wash denim jackets and jumpsuits with rhinestones on the collar. I suppose this is because, deep down, I feel weird and misunderstood myself. Ordinary people would not understand these clothes, with their loud colors and complicated pleats and questionable taste. But I do. I find them intriguing. I want to take them home with me and make them feel appreciated and loved.
These shorts are a perfect example. I was smitten by their silver leather trim and exaggerated pleats. I thought they'd be an interesting styling challenge. And they were. But I really like how this outfit turned out.

Junior Member Posts: 25 Join Date: Mar 2009 | Re: Mini9, Firefox, Heat & Battery life -
If you, like me, prefer Safari to Firefox, there's a Safari alternative called ClickToFlash, available from http://github.com/rentzsch/clicktoflash/tree/master . It places an inactive item in the place of flash animations, which you can click to activate. It also has the option of whitelisting certain sites of your choosing such as the BBC iPlayer, and/or loading H.264 videos in Quicktime instead of Flash on YouTube. It reduces heat, increases speed, and extends battery life noticeably. Dead good. Also recommended for Safari is the Glims plugin, which offers almost everything that the commercial Saft plugin offers (and a few it doesn't), but free and with more control. Have a look at the site to see what this offers, since it's a long list: http://www.machangout.com . |

I'd also suggest adding speedstepping if you don't have it. Makes a big difference in heat. Look for info here on VoodooPowerMini to install it or just on what speedstep is for more info.

If you say so. Right now I have 12 tabs in Firefox and am running at 42% CPU. So I'm not convinced speedstepping wouldn't help, but then I believe in it and won't do a hackintosh in any laptop until there's a stable way to speedstep it. Just my opinion, YMMV.

Flashblock isnt really necessary. If you want to block flash without installing extra plugins/extensions, simply goto Tools -> Add-ons, click on Plugins and disable Shockwave flashplayer. I disable Flash on my Mini9 because it just too cpu intensive. |

as suggested above, if you are running safari, install click to flash,,, disables the flash on a page and just click to enable it if you do want to see anything. works great. better than disabling it all together imo. i do hate flash though but is a necessary evil sometimes. I also agree that speedstep is a great idea to have installed on these netbooks (it's not useless) You won't always be running all out, atleast my mini doesn't (depends on your usage I guess). There is a util that shows your clock speed (too lazy to look it up and my mini isn't nearby) so you can visually see what your processor is running at. If you can run cooler and extend your battery a bit why not? might just prolong the life of your machine a bit. +1 underwhelmed |

"Drive" is the critical "darling" of 2011. Many film types loved it and were terribly upset when it did not get the Oscar nominations they thought it deserved. It ended up on many a top ten list of films for the year, including the first place on some. It will not be on the NonModern list when it finally sees the light of day.
That is not because it is a poorly made film. It is well directed, brilliantly acted, tensely paced and engaging. The opening set piece is one of the best on film for 2011. It is also not directly due to the completely deserved R rating that it earned. The over-the-top foul language of a couple characters, the brief unnecessary nudity in one scene and the shocking violence are enough for me to not recommend this film to my Christian friends who try to avoid such things; but other films containing one or more of these elements have earned my respect in the past.
What those elements do reveal in this case, however, is an underlying cultural problem that diagnoses a disturbing condition. Most of the praise this film is receiving is for the (once again that 2011 buzz word) nostalgia it evokes for films of the sixties like "Bullitt." In the first place that comparison is overly simplistic, (like saying that "Cujo" is like Lassie.") The biggest problem is that today's culture has a problem distinguishing between "Bullitt's" cop fighting the system to seek truth and justice, and "Drive's" sick amoral monster seeking safety and ultimately vengeance. Somehow the later qualifies as a hero today.
Make no mistake, the driver is a monster. The less-than-subtle (but probably seen by the filmmakers as cleverly symbolic) scorpion comparison is the giveaway. He maintains a stoic silence and even keel throughout the start of the movie precisely because he knows what he becomes when he gives into passion. He is the scorpion convincing himself, more than the frog, that he is capable of controlling his nature. As an audience we are shocked at the levels of violence of which he is capable, especially compared to the mobsters he comes up against.
How does someone accept as a hero a person capable of the things the driver does? That is the question one is left with from the reception this film has gotten.

Michael Scanlon, former top aide to lobbyist Jack Abramoff and to Congressman Tom DeLay (R-TX) pleaded guilty yesterday to conspiring to bribe a member of Congress. Scanlon acknowledged in a plea agreement that he and Mr. Abramoff agreed to make lavish gifts to public officials in exchange for official actions.
Additionally, Talkleft notes that "(t)he court agreed to defer (Scanlon's) sentencing until his cooperation is over, which means if he tells the truth from the Government's point of view, the Government will file a motion before sentencing seeking a reduction below his guideline range."
Two Colorado residents claiming to have been ejected from a Bush campaign event last year because of an anti-war bumper sticker on their car have filed a suit over the matter. A.C.L.U lawyers handling the case said they would pursue in particular the question of who gave the orders to deny entrance.
Huge oil profits have led Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez to offer aid to U.S. poor in the form of subsidized heating costs. The populist South American president would relish being able to show that Venezuela, far less wealthy than the United States, had come to the rescue of low-income people here, analysts said.
Representative Tom DeLay (R-TX) will appear with his co-defendants in court today for the first time. According to the Austin Statesman, Delay desperately "needs a quick knockout to keep alive any hope of reclaiming his post as majority leader in the House, where some Republicans are jockeying to replace him permanently in January."
As relief legislation stalls in Congress, Louisiana officials are growing "desparate", fearing that the federal government is losing interest in the plight of the devastated Gulf Coast.
Responding to criticism of the program as "rigid" and "unworkable", the Bush Administration agreed to relax some key provisions of the No Child Left Behind act. Specifically allowed use of some new ways to rate schools, granted a few urban systems permission to provide federally subsidized tutoring and allowed certain states more time to meet teacher-quality requirements.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) is leading opposition to a plan to split the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, which recently passed the House for the second year running. Feinstein has gained the support of judiciary committee colleagues Patrick Leahy (D-VT) and Arlen Specter (R-PA), who recently co-authored a letter criticizing any effort to address the issue in a budget bill and stating that, "(t)he issue is squarely under the jurisdiction of the judiciary committee."

Kyle Rudolph #82 TE
Minnesota Vikings | Official Team Site
Height: 6-6 Weight: 265 Age: 27
Born: 11/9/1989 Cincinnati , OH
College: Notre Dame
Experience: 7th season
High School: Elder HS [Cincinnati, OH]
Draft 2011
Pick No.43
Selected By: Minnesota Vikings
Round: 2
Pick (Overall): 11 (43)
Pick Analysis:
Rudolph missed the final seven games of 2010 after undergoing hamstring surgery, but he has the potential to develop into a weapon in the passing game at the next level. He is fast and has the hip fluidity to separate in and out of his breaks in man coverage. He has tremendous hands and shows a knack for coming down with the ball in traffic. He lacks the strength and bulk to be an effective run blocker, but he works hard to sustain and keeps solid position. Rudolph is a very good receiving tight end and could be a steal in the second round.

You want your family to have healthy, confident smiles. Good dental health begins by finding a local dentist you can trust who provides the preventive services and restorative treatments your family needs. Your partnership with a local dentist can be a fulfilling relationship that lasts many years and keeps your family healthy for the long-term.
As you have probably noticed, there are many dental practices to choose from in Santa Clara County. So how do you find the dentist that's right for you and your family? Research and good information are the keys to success. Read the following articles to find out how you can get the information you need to be confident in your choice of a highly qualified dentist in Santa Clara County.
Look for Licensed, Professional Dentists in Santa Clara County
Choosing a dentist is a very personal decision. Finding a good match will ensure that your Santa Clara County dentist provides high-quality dental care for you and your family for many years to come. A dentist's educational background, philosophy about dental health and preventive treatments, and history in your community may influence his or her dental practice. However, despite these background differences, there are some qualities that all dentists should offer, regardless of style or personality.
Dentists in Santa Clara County must be licensed by the Dental Board of California (DBC), which operates as part of the California Department of Consumer Affairs. You can check the license status of any dentist by visiting the DBC website or you can view a list of all licensed dentists by county. Any disciplinary actions against the dentist will also be noted. All Diamond Certified dentists have already been thoroughly vetted for you, including license verification. However, if there are no Diamond Certified dentists in your area, it's important to do the background research yourself.
Dentist who are board certified meet a series of additional requirements beyond standard licensing. In order to be eligible for board certification, dentists must complete a post-doctoral residency in general dentistry, successfully pass a comprehensive written exam, and demonstrate their understanding of all dentistry practices in a demanding oral exam. To maintain board certification, dentists must complete 125 hours of continuing dental education every 5 years. Only about 1 percent of general dentists have achieved board certification in dentistry. You can find a board-certified dentist in Santa Clara County by visiting the American Board of General Dentistry website.
If you have complex dental health problems that require oral surgery or comprehensive dental work, you may wish to seek dentists in the larger cities of San Jose, Sunnyvale, Santa Clara, Mountain View, Milpitas, or Palo Alto, who have experience treating complex dental disorders.

Whitehorse, February 23, 2011 — The Governments of Canada and Yukon have signed an agreement that gives Yukon a role in managing the Temporary Foreign Worker Program within the Territory.
Senator Daniel Lang made the announcement today with Patrick Rouble, Yukon Minister of Education and Minister of Energy, Mines and Resources. Senator Lang spoke on behalf of Jason Kenney, Minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism and Diane Finley, Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development.
"The Government of Yukon has a role to play in protecting temporary foreign workers from exploitation and in identifying how immigration can help address gaps in its labour market," said Senator Lang. "This agreement formally recognizes these roles."
The agreement will improve the responsiveness of the Temporary Foreign Worker Program by providing Yukon with a greater role in helping these workers come to Canada. The Government of Yukon will be able to recommend the entry of some temporary foreign workers without requiring a Service Canada assessment of whether there are Canadians or permanent residents available to fill the vacant positions. Such exemptions will be determined according to criteria to be set by the territorial government, in line with its economic plans and priorities.
"This agreement provides one more tool for Yukon's labour market stakeholders to address Yukon's labour market opportunities, both now and into the future," said Minister Rouble. "Our first priority is to work with underrepresented groups in Yukon to meet labour force demands and turn to temporary foreign workers when the need arises."
"Today marks an important step in making the Temporary Foreign Worker Program more responsive to Yukon's particular labour needs. Meeting those needs translates into more opportunities for all Yukon residents," the Senator added.
The agreement provides a framework for closer cooperation between the two levels of government to better educate employers and potential workers about their rights and responsibilities.
A number of innovative pilot initiatives are also planned as part of the agreement. These initiatives are designed to respond to region-specific issues concerning temporary foreign workers, and are aligned with the economic and social development priorities of Yukon.
The Temporary Foreign Worker Program is driven by employer demand and aimed at filling identified labour shortages where no suitable Canadian workers or permanent residents are available.

CHICAGO (CBS) — Sir Paul McCartney enjoyed the embrace of the Friendly Confines Sunday night, and he'll be back again Monday evening.
At his Sunday night engagement, McCartney said he wants to become part of the storied history of Wrigley Field, which will turn 100 years old in 2014.
Thousands of people enjoyed McCartney's first concert ever inside Wrigley Field. Huge crowds also huddled around the stadium outside.
RELATED: Concertgoers Guide: Paul McCartney Shows At Wrigley Field
Chicago Tribune rock critic Greg Kot noted the 69-year-old McCartney's energy during the show. He said the onetime Beatle was "wringing new rivers of passion from songs he's played hundreds of times."
McCartney opened with the 1967 Beatles classic "Hello Goodbye," and went through an assortment of numbers both from his days with the Beatles and as a solo artist.
The oldest song on the set list was "All My Loving," which dates from the early days of the Beatles in 1963. More recent solo numbers such as "Dance Tonight" from the 2007 album "Memory Almost Full" were also on the set list.
And not all of the Beatles numbers McCartney played were his own. Cover versions of the George Harrison-penned Beatles classic "Something" and the John Lennon solo number "Give Peace a Chance" also made the set list.
A Jimi Hendrix tribute also made the list, in the form of an instrumental version of "Foxy Lady."
Perennials such as "Let It Be," "Hey Jude," "Live and Let Die" and "Band on the Run," of course, were on the list. And in the second of two encores, McCartney followed "Yesterday" with his proto-metal White Album classic "Helter Skelter," and the conclusion of the "Abbey Road" Side 2 medley – "Golden Slumbers," "Carry That Weight," and "The End."
Kot says McCartney alternated between his Hofner electric bass, acoustic and electric guitars, and the piano.
Tickets are still available for McCartney's second concert, which starts at 8 p.m. Monday ngiht.
McCartney last played Chicago in 2005.
Wrigley Field has hosted concerts for four of the last six years. The first were by Jimmy Buffett, who played a pair of Labor Day concerts in 2005.
The Police played at the ballpark in 2007, and Elton John and Billy Joel, as well as Rascal Flatts played in 2009. The Dave Matthews Band played the ballpark last year.
The Cubs agreed to take a year off from concerts in 2006 to ease the strain of the concerts on neighborhood residents. There also were no concerts at the ballpark in 2008.
Attendance for Cubs games has lagged this season, as the team has struggled.

The material below the line was reconstructed by me, the original author, from scanned images of a poor copy of this paper. I corrected typographic errors and reformatted the document to HTML. Otherwise, to the best of my ability, it remains as written. The date of the publication of Memo 41 is obscure. All the material after the Abstract was the body of my thesis (PDF), submitted in May 1962 to MIT in partial fulfillment for the degree of Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering. It refers to a number of appendices which were not part of Memo 41.
For completeness sake, it should be understood that this report, while written by me, represents joint work of "the chess group", which consisted of me, Elwyn R. Berlekamp (for the first year), Michael Lieberman, Charles Niessen, and Robert A. Wagner (for the third year). We are all members of the MIT Class of 1962.

Author, speaker, recording artist and worship leader Kelly Minter of Nashville, Tenn., will lead a Kelly Minter Women's Conference, "No Other Gods: Confronting Our Modern-Day Idols," at First Baptist Church in Starkville Friday and Saturday, Feb. 21-22.
Friday's session is 7 to 9 p.m. Saturday's session is 9 a.m. until noon. A complimentary breakfast will be served at 8 a.m. at the church located at 106 E. Lampkin St.
Conference registration is $20. Register online at FBCStarkville.com/kellyminter or register at the door.
"Our Women's Ministry is sponsoring the conference for spiritual growth. We try to bring in someone to address an issue and be an encouragement to women," said Pat Little of the FBC Women's Ministry Committee. "It's open to all ages; we encourage high school, college, middle-aged and senior ladies to come."
Minter grew up in Northern Virginia, the daughter of a pastor. After moving to Nashville in 1999, she released her first album, "Good Day," in 2001 and followed it in 2003 with "Wrestling with Angels," which included the song "This Is My Offering." It went to No. 1 on Inspirational charts. She has toured with Christian artists including Bebo Norman and Sonicflood and written songs recorded by Point of Grace, Sandy Patti, Sonicflood and Joy Williams (of The Civil Wars), among others.
Minter has since become well-known as the author and teacher of bible study curricula, including three studies for LifeWay Christian Resources. "No Other Gods" is one of them.
False gods is not a topic relegated to foreign lands or ancient times, Minter states. They can be simple things, like people, houses, careers, shopping or food -- things that may have grown into idols simply by how much they are desired. Or, they can be move obvious, like alcohol, drugs or pornography.
"Regardless of our idols, they all take the place of God in our lives," she writes.
During the conference, Minter will share some of her music, accompanied by a violinist with Golden Triangle ties. Bethany Daniel Bordeaux, formerly of Columbus and now of Nashville, often performs with the worship leader.

Critic Reviews for Alex Rider: Operation Stormbreaker
All Critics (67) | Top Critics (27) | Fresh (23) | Rotten (44) | DVD (1)
Nobody wants to see a violent James Bond send-up, with a British teen risking life and limb for Jolly Olde England, matched against a toothpick chomping 'computer genius' villain played by Mickey Rourke.
I forgot most of it about 20 seconds after it was over.
Yes, we've got brand new blond junior and grown-up Bonds this season, but the toughest task for Baby Bond could be finding an audience.
Bond-for-kids done with some obvious budget restrictions...
A pointless junior version of James Bond minus the budget (and the suaveness).
With so much talent involved with this film, the finished product seems like a waste.
Audience Reviews for Alex Rider: Operation Stormbreaker

Nadia Vole: "You are ze first child to experience ze power... ze vorld domination, of ze Stormbreaker. Zis model has already been loaded vis highly developed programs for all aspects of ze school curricular." An outwardly ordinary orphaned teenager student Alex Rider who lives with his uncle, a boring bank manager, or so it seems until his uncle, Ian Rider, disappears under mysterious circumstances. He finds himself suddenly thrust into extraordinary circumstances upon discovering that his entire youth was part of an elaborate plan to create the perfect super spy. Recruited by Mr. Blunt and Mrs. Jones, and armed with special gadgets, he embarks on his first mission. Billionaire Darrius Sayle is donating a free Stormbreaker mega-computer to every school in Britain. But is there more to his generosity than meets the eye? Going undercover, he infiltrates Sayle's compound. He meets the tycoon's sinister sidekicks, vixen publicist Nadia Vole and the disfigured mute Mr. Grin, and tests out the impressive and secretive Stormbreaker computer. While exploring a restricted area, Alex begins to figure out the mysterious Stormbreakers--he knows he's onto something big. Suddenly, Sayle and his evil henchmen capture Alex. Using his cunning and his MI6 gadgets, Alex manages to escape. He hitches a ride to London to stop Sayle from activating the Stormbreakers and releasing their secret weapon throughout Britain. But time is running out. With the help of his housekeeper Jack Starbright and his friend Sabina Pleasure, Alex takes Sayle head-on in a dangerous race against time to stop the evil plan. Within days he's gone from schoolboy to super spy, but will his first assignment be his last? I like action, don't get me wrong. I'm a die hard Die Hard fan, I dig Rambo and his killer mullet and I love Bond, James Bond. But sometimes the action genre only works to a certain extent well for example, if a 14 year old kid turns into a super spy and the fate of the whole world rests on his pre-pubescent stubby little hands, then I think we have a problem. This film is exactly just like that. And I may be alone in this one, maybe not but I think, 14 year old tweens belongs in the school, not in some high class evil lair butting heads with a has been punk rocker Mickey Rourke. It didn't work with Cody Banks and I'm sad to say it didn't work here either. The main problem of this film is that its trying so hard to be a high espionage actioner that it completely forgets that for an action film to work, the story must be on the same level as the action. This one however goes the other way around, it has so much action that the story was completely forgotten. However, everything is not all that bad. Save for a couple of cool action scenes and Bill Nighy. After that, its sad to say everything goes downhill. 2/5

Welcome to George Lake Camp Outfitting. The camp is located 81 air miles from La Ronge, Saskatchewan in Canada. This is one of the most scenic fly-in camps in Canada. It is also the only camp on the lake and accessible only by float plane which will fly your group from La Ronge to George Lake Camp and back and is included in our package trips. Its lakefront cabins are on a stunningly beautiful sand beach in a peaceful pine/birch setting. We offer excellent fishing and black bear hunting in the remote Canadian wilderness. There are well-maintained roads all the way to La Ronge, which is located 600 miles north of the Montana/North Dakota borders. This is the perfect vacation spot to get away from it all.
George Lake has over 4,000 acres of crystal clear water with many bays, coves and islands. It has an abundance of northern pike, lake trout, and whitefish from eating size to trophy size and you won't need a guide to catch them, but local guides are available for an extra fee. In 2003 we began a regulated catch-and-release (with barb-less hooks) type 1 (CR1) policy to keep George Lake a major trophy lake, but you can keep a number of fish each day to eat in camp. We have a fleet of 14-foot and 16-foot aluminum boats with 9.9 hp Evinrude motors to get you around to the best fishing spots. A short walk away there is another lake with walleye and northern pike for you walleye enthusiasts. To stay in touch with the rest of the world we have a satellite phone.
New for 2006: 20X50 foot log kitchen/dining lodge. This increases our guest capacity to 12, so you can bring all your friends.
This is just part of George Lake you have to explore.

Source: Florida Times Union Apr 14 - 2:19 PMJaguars GM Dave Caldwell says the club has narrowed down the No. 2 overall pick to two prospects."We're pretty close -- it's down to two people," said Caldwell. Only Caldwell, owner Shad Khan, and coach Gus Bradley are expected to be informed of the Jaguars' selection. We suspect the two players are made up of some combination of Oregon DE/OLB Dion Jordan, BYU DE Ziggy Ansah, and West Virginia QB Geno Smith. Caldwell said he'd be "surprised" if the Jags had a chance to trade down.Related: Jaguars
Source: Philadelphia Inquirer & Daily News Apr 14 - 3:48 PMNFL Network's Mike Mayock says he is "scared to death" of Georgia LB Alec Ogletree as a first-round pick due both to off- and on-field concerns.Ogletree is a candidate to slide out of the first round because his character is a nightmare. "Im scared to death about Ogletree, both for on- and off-the-field issues," Mayock said. "When you put the tape on, he has no clue what hes doing. He looks like a safety that somebody plugged inside at inside linebacker. He just runs around." Mayock also called Ogletree's work ethic and passion for the game "question marks right now."
Does anyone like anyone this draft??lol Seems everyone has a draft guru that dosen't like em...
Man, this mock from walts partner Charlie Campbell is insane..
1). Bjorn Werner DE Fla St.
2). Khaseem Greene LB Rutgers
3). Jordan Poyer CB Org St.
4). Brian Schwenke C California
5). Dion Sims TE Mich St.
6). Reid Fragel OT Ohio St.
------ he dosent have 7th rd in there, so i'll finish---
7). Rontez Miles S Cal PA
7). Lamar Mady G Youngstown St.
No kidding, but its not just the fact of u don't like a guy as much as the next, its simply calling players bad basically, yet there talked about as 1st rd prospects.. I mean, Mayock didn't just say he didn't like Ogletree, as how in the world could u draft Ogletree in the first 3rds if u went on what Mayock said about em?(obviously teams don't go on what mayock says,i'm just saying)..
Its alot diffrent then being slightly critical about something miniscule, that tips the scales in one prospects favor over anothers... Thats what i'm talking about..
And most yrs, theres a bit more certainty then this yr, which has been known for sometime now, hence u got guys who were sure fire top 5picks a couple months ago, now perdicted to go in the 2nd rd or even 3rd rd depending on where u look(damontre moore) and u got guys like Shariff Floyd who was going in the 2nd rd, late 1st a coupe months back, now almost certain top 5pick..etc This is by far the most uncertain draft with completely diffrent opinions on players then we'd ever seen before...

looooooooooooooooooooooooooool this is REALLY awful!!! I agree I see no sign of a revamp, she looks photoshopped to death and the cover makes her look like Shakira/Drew Barrymore-ish/Beyonce's cover redo = it's a very bad cover and I thought it was by Terry too when I saw this atrocity ! OMG are magazines really allowed to produced those shots? BAD all over the place.

I couldn't help but laugh at this. 2nd and 4th shots, seriously? This all looks so stiff and forced, I can't.
Cover could be okay, but as Nymphaea said, the amount of brown is too much. The only shot I like is the 3rd, it looks quite natural but she looks like Kim K

What is iPad? iPad is Dominance.
- 36
In less than 60 days, Apple has sold over 2 million iPads. This despite just being available internationally this past week, and despite being a device that many in March were saying really didn't meet a need. This despite the cheapest model being US$499 (more on that below). Yes, despite all that – and helped by tremendous/deserved hype and a multi-million dollar ad campaign – the iPad now dominates a market that it created less than two months ago.
Coincidentally (or maybe not so much) two manufacturers that made their marks with low-cost, but decent quality netbooks – Asus and MSI – both announced tablet computers at the Taiwan Computex show today. The Asus Eee Pad (ePad?) runs Windows 7 and the MSI Windpad runs Android and both have more ports and, well, they have cameras so they will certainly get a look by those that are shopping for a tablet computer – yes, they'll get a look, and then shoppers will walk to the next aisle at Best Buy and throw down for an iPad.
"This event was off the charts"
Gary Vaynerchuk was so impressed with TNW Conference 2016 he paused mid-talk to applaud us.
Two months into the "iPad era" or whatever you want to call it, we shouldn't have to go into all the reasons that the iPad will continue to dominate the market once these and other usurpers hit the shelves. It is built better. I has a better screen. It has apps. Oh, and that $499 entry price tag? That price point was to us Steve Job's piece de resistance with the iPad: the Eee Pad will probably sell from $399-$499 – even the most strapped student understands that $100 more to move up to an Apple product is a no-brainer.
Simple math makes the iPad already a US$1 billion success. Image what the numbers are going to look like on December 26.
A revolution? Maybe. Another dominant product from the world's largest tech company? Yes.

A new study suggests Canada's Generation Y is outspending older generations in the luxury market for fashion, travel and fine dining.
The American Express Business Insights survey says Canada's luxury segment has been more resilient than that in Europe and the U.S., dominated by demand from younger people.
The findings, based on spending data collected from 2009 to 2011, suggest the Canadian luxury segment was less impacted during the downturn and recovered more quickly than in the U.S. and Europe.
It says Europe and the U.S. have yet to see pre-recessionary spending levels in the market, while Canadian luxury spending has increased since 2009.
Younger Canadians ramped up spending faster during the survey period than their older counterparts.
Gen Y members spent 33% more on luxury fashion from 2009 to 2011, increased travel spending by 74% and dropped 102% more on fine dining.

In the light of continued and growing unrest in North Africa, we would have anticipated the continued flight to safe currencies and others would have been under downward pressure. We do not see that trend emerging.
All currencies, with the exception of Japan, are moving upward. It is true that the top three are also considered safe haven currencies but we would have expected to see the Swiss Franc have the biggest jump if it were a move to safety trend and we don't see that.
This may signal that while there is an expectation that oil prices may rise and cause some short term turbulence, there is less concern that this will have any lasting impact on the economy.
Assets Class | Symbols | 03/02 Trend Score |
02/23 Trend Score |
Direction |
Swedish Krona | FXS | 8.52% | 7.89% | ^ |
Swiss Franc | FXF | 7.26% | 7.18% | ^ |
Australia Dollar | FXA | 7.23% | 6.42% | ^ |
Canadian Dollar | FXC | 4.42% | 3.29% | ^ |
British Pound | FXB | 3.87% | 3.02% | ^ |
Mexican Peso | FXM | 3.72% | 2.56% | ^ |
US Dollar Bearish | UDN | 3.67% | 3.34% | ^ |
Euro | FXE | 3.22% | 2.96% | ^ |
Japanese Yen | FXY | 2.65% | 2.73% | v |
G10 Carry Trade | DBV | 2.41% | 1.76% | ^ |
Chinese Yuan | CYB | 0.54% | 0.49% | ^ |
Brazilian Real | BZF | -0.5% | -1.35% | ^ |
The trend score is defined as the average of 1,4,13,26 and 52 week total returns (including dividend reinvested).
The Krona continues to lead the table as the economy continues to deliver impressive results. There remains little concern about the currency appreciating and that hurting exports.
The Swiss central bank has issued comments that they will keep a firm grip on inflation and that interest rate rises will be used as they believe the low rates in other Eurozone nations are not sustainable.
The Aussie dollar also climbed sharply despite mixed news between rising commodity prices and less than expected building permits indicating softness in their construction industry.
The Real moved into positive territory as the central bank raised interest rates again. With already high interest rates, the government is trying to avoid overheating the economy even as their currency is making exports more expensive.
The Yuan is little changed as the country's leaders gather for the National People's Congress, which begins Saturday. There are signs that the government may be getting serious about allowing the currency to appreciate but that will have to wait until the session is over.
The G10 Carry Trade Currencies highlight the reduction in concern about the current strife in North Africa in the Middle East but there should be some concern that if this does spread, there may be greater impact on the world economy.
It's hard to throw off the old expectations that currencies will be under pressure during times of world tension and while most of the currencies are moving up, there is reason to be cautious and see if there is a correction next week.

"This Is Essential For Bettering Your Relationship!"
This is the best audiobook I have listened to, by far in this specific genre. I say this because by listening to this audiobook, I have actually learned some valuable things that can improve my relationship drastically. This auidobook totally exceeded my expectations by a long shot.
It really reminds me a lot of How to Guide for Sex and Passion and Desire for Married Couples. When I first purchased the audio I thought that it would just be about sex and how to spark up your sex life, but its honestly not. It really gets deep down to the core problems that can go wrong in a relationship and what you need to do to make it better.
I loved Marie Duma's performance. Her voice really soothes you and grabs your attention and makes you want to listen to the story. She gets into character so well. When she talks I can close my eyes and actually see what she is saying play out in my head.
I felt like she was my relationship therapist and she was teaching me everything to do right. Loved it!
I did have an extreme reaction but I wouldn't say it was laughing or crying. It was another sort of reaction. A reaction of decision making. Listening to this audio made me want to go and make actionable steps to improving my relationship and my sex life. I learned about sensitivity and accountability and being open with your partner in more ways than one.
This was an amazing audio. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for anyone that wants to get on track for achieving a better relationship.

Warnock would listen to offers
Neil Warnock would happily sell Adel Taarabt to Paris St Germain if the French club offered £20million for the forward.
Last Updated: 18/11/11 3:42pm
Neil Warnock admits his relationship with Adel Taarabt has been tested by the Premier League and the QPR boss would not think twice about accepting a £20million offer for the forward.
Taarabt, who has been linked with a move away to Paris St Germain, is set to miss QPR's trip to Stoke on Saturday after spending the week away on international duty with Morocco.
The 22-year-old was brought off at half-time in QPR's 3-1 defeat at Tottenham and was then left out of the starting line-up for the home defeat by Manchester City.
Warnock admitted Taarabt has not fitted in as well this season as QPR adapted to cope with the heightened demands of the Premier League.
Asked specifically whether QPR would sell if PSG hardened their reported interest in Taarabt, Warnock said: "I would drive him over if they offered us £20million.
"You are never going to change Adel. I don't think we have ever been hunky-dory in our relationship. It is just a different culture that some players have.
"You have to try and fit it into the team situation. We did that quite well last year. It has not worked as well this year because we are playing at a different level.
"We have had to adjust the system that we play so it has been very difficult to get Adel into our system at the moment."
Warnock also paid tribute to former chairman Gianni Paladini, who has left QPR by mutual consent after eight years at Loftus Road.
"I have had such a good time with Gianni," said Warnock. "He has probably been the shining light for me through quite a few grey nights with one or two previous ownerships, should we say, and there have been times where it would have been very difficult without Gianni.
"I would like to say a big thank you to him. We had a great time. Last year we had problems but we overcame them and I am sure he will have a part to play in football because you will not keep him out of that."

The word is that I am in trouble because I viewed my TiVo'd season premier of Battlestar Galactica. I had promised my brother I would wait for him to come over, and we would watch it together.
Well, I've got a great excuse; I just couldn't wait any longer. Plus, the Tiger games were lurking, and I had to get it in on an off-night. AND, Jeff Harrell wrote a really long post about it, and I wanted to read it. And there is really NOTHING scheduled (worth watching) on Monday nights.
So there you have it. I basically had no choice. It was beyond my control.
Man, these intertubes can get a gal in trouble.

Warriors Said to Buy San Francisco Land From Salesforce
Dan LevyThe Golden State Warriors basketball team agreed to buy undeveloped land in San Francisco from Salesforce.com Inc. and will build an 18,000-seat arena at the site, said a person with knowledge of the transaction.
The deal means that the National Basketball Association team will abandon its previously announced proposal to build a $1 billion arena at Piers 30-32 in the South of Market area, said the person, who asked not to be identified because the agreement is private. The Salesforce site in Mission Bay has about 12 acres (4.9 hectares) and is part of land the company bought in 2010, the person said.
"I couldn't be more thrilled to welcome the Golden State Warriors back home to San Francisco with a brand new, privately financed arena in Mission Bay," Mayor Edwin M. Lee said in a statement yesterday. "The new Mission Bay arena will generate new jobs and millions of dollars in new tax revenue for our city."
Andrew Schmitt, a spokesman for San Francisco-based Salesforce, declined to comment. Ray Ridder, a Warriors spokesman, didn't return telephone calls and an e-mail seeking comment yesterday.
Salesforce, the biggest maker of customer-management software, purchased land in Mission Bay for $278 million with the intention of building a new headquarters before opting to lease space in downtown office towers instead. The shift resulted in plans to sell the parcels, a person familiar with the company's decision said last month.
Since 1971
The Warriors have played in Oakland since 1971 and are owned by an investor group led by Joe Lacob, a partner at Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, and Peter Guber, chairman of Mandalay Entertainment Group. The team said two years ago it would move to San Francisco and build a waterfront arena near the Bay Bridge, a plan that has been opposed by neighbors and environmental groups.
The Warriors won two championships playing in Philadelphia between 1946 and 1962, with Wilt Chamberlain setting an NBA record by scoring 100 points in a game against the New York Knicks. The franchise relocated in 1962 to San Francisco and nine years later to Oakland, where the 1975 team won a championship with Hall of Famers Rick Barry and Jamaal Wilkes.
The San Francisco Chronicle reported the land sale yesterday.

Among the cases highlighted was an officer who was accused of indecently assaulting several women while they were held in cells and a policeman who offered to help a woman special constable join the force in return for sex.
The Police Complaints Authority's annual report, published yesterday, also expresses concerns about the record number of deaths in custody and issues warnings about the excessive use of CS spray and batons.
On the issue of sexual harassment, the PCA noted: "Allegations of sexual harassment by police officers have been the subject of a growing number of cases dealt with by the PCA over recent years."
It went on: "... the most disturbing came from women whose vulnerability had been exploited by police officers to whom they had turned for help.
"In some cases ... women complaining of harassment had sought police protection only to suffer the same treatment from the officer supposed to be assisting them."
It added that allegations by women officers had been made against colleagues for harassment at "police stations; in police vehicles; during training courses; or while carrying out surveillance operations".
In the year up to March the PCA dealt with 73 complaints of sexual assault, of which only nine resulted in a punishment. The number of incidents of sexual harassment are not collated separately but are part of the 1,455 cases of general harassment.
The report concluded that while these type of complaints make up only a tiny proportion of their workload "they do suggest that some police officers still display an outdated and unacceptable attitude towards women and that a few are prepared to betray their position of trust for personal sexual gratification".
PCA deputy chairman John Cartwright said that much of the sexual harassment was by officers in specialist squads.
The report also noted that it had to deal with a record number of deaths in custody - there were 56 in the past year, six of whom were black.
Better training for police custody officers and surgeons should have saved some of the lives, the PCA believes.
The PCA also highlighted the 254 complaints received about the use of CS spray, saying in some cases its use was "neither justified nor appropriate".
Last year the PCA considered 4,390 fully-investigated cases of complaints against police. These led to police officers being charged with 237 disciplinary offences and 892 cases of warnings or admonishments being issued. Eighteen officers were charged with criminal offences.

Set amid Toronto's 26,000-acre ravine system, the adaptive reuse of a 120-year-old brick factory is creating new community roots with engaging programs in an inspiring locale. Sixteen warehouse buildings that were boarded up for several decades now buzz with activity. Crates filled with organic salad greens, loaves of fresh bread, and artisanal cheeses draw thousands to a year-round Saturday-morning farmers' market. In an adjacent building during colder months, ice skaters circle a manufactured ice rink under open rafters that allow snow to drift down from above. Chef-led cooking classes, and children's and community gardens entice city dwellers to get their hands dirty. This is Evergreen Brick Works.
"Reenvisioning this site was a magical opportunity," says Geoff Cape, executive director of Evergreen, a Toronto-based nonprofit focused on ecological restoration, especially in urban centers. "We wanted to establish active relationships with nature in the urban environment and to develop programs and architecture that express the future of city building."
The ongoing renovation of the 12-acre historic site commingles Toronto's history and future. From 1889 to 1984, the Don Valley Brick Works supplied brick for commercial and residential construction across North America before the factory was shut down. In 1989, the City of Toronto expropriated the abandoned factory as a heritage site. While part of the site was transformed into a park and nature area in the mid 1990s, the reuse of the historic buildings constructed from the early 1900s to the 1950s are Evergreen's focus.
Toronto-based firms Diamond and Schmitt Architects, du Toit Allsopp Hillier, and Montreal-based Claude Cormier Landscape Architects collaborated on Evergreen Brick Works' master plan. "It was a complicated project as we sought to restore parts of the site, keep the rough industrial aesthetic and reinvent certain spaces for modern functions," explains Donald Schmitt, AIA, principal at Diamond and Schmitt.
The buildings' characteristics helped define their use. For example, instead of removing three 365-foot-long kilns from one warehouse to create an indoor parking garage, the project team retained the kilns and considered different options. The distinctive space can be anything from a large-scale contemporary art gallery to a private-event space, with an indoor climbing wall at one end.
The Young Welcome Centre, located in one of the historic structures, now houses the farmers' market during winter months and is the orientation hub for those exploring the site. Here, the architects preserved a massive brick press and an elevated foreman's shed, two original features that recall the warehouse's origins. Throughout the site, decades of graffiti were left intact and two artists were commissioned to add new graffiti to create a mix of new and old that represents the different layers of history present on site.
Evergreen also wanted to show that urban building can leverage passive strategies and progressive technologies for minimal environmental impact. The masonry walls of the Welcome Centre remain uninsulated to expose the historic brick, while the space is heated by hydronic radiant flooring installed in the concrete floor. In the future, waste heat from the ice rink will be captured for use in the event spaces and will warm a café slated to open this spring.
Diamond and Schmitt designed the only new building on site: the five-story, 54,000-square-foot Centre for Green Cities, which is on track to receive LEED Platinum certification. The facility comprises offices, multipurpose rooms, and the existing space housing the Young Welcome Centre. The new components span the historic warehouse on an independent steel structure. A modern staircase weaves up into the new space, where industrial materials and detailing complement the historic palette below.
The building is extremely well-insulated, achieving values of R-32 in the walls and R-50 in the roof, which helped reduce the energy loads of the new building. In cooler temperatures, triple-glazed energy-efficient windows set in insulated fiberglass window frames transmit less cold to the interior. Operable windows and thermal chimneys in the center of the building provide natural ventilation.
Fifteen 5,000-gallon above-grade cisterns capture rainwater from the site's roofs for use in irrigation and the public restrooms. Rainwater stored at two of the cisterns at the center also is used for make-up water for the cooling tower during summer months.
The Centre for Green Cities remains a work in progress. On its top, 3,000 square feet of solar thermal panels will be installed to help provide heating and cooling. During the summer, the heat from the thermal panels will run the building's absorption chiller, and cool air will be delivered to the upper-floor offices and multipurpose rooms through raised access flooring and into ground-floor event spaces via ceiling diffusers. A high-efficiency biomass boiler fueled by wood waste from local manufacturing will also generate energy. The solar panels and boiler will heat fluid that runs through tubing in the Welcome Centre's radiant floor and into coiled fluid radiators on the upper stories. The timing of the addition of these various elements is dependent on funding.
The cogeneration system will offer great environmental benefits. "Energy models predict that the new center will consume 57 percent less energy and emit 51 percent fewer carbon emissions than a comparable building built to ASHRAE 90.1 standards," Schmitt says.
"The creative balance of sustainability and history brought a genuine sense of meaning to the place," Cape notes, "and integrating progressive concepts in a historic context helps ground the ideas and make them seem more plausible."
KJ Fields writes about sustainability and architecture from Portland, Ore.
