Description from the owner
Grapevine Cottage is a charismatic home with real bucolic charm. It is set in a shady vineyard with views of the sea just a short walk down a quiet lane from the centre of ISLAMLAR village but only 8 km from Kalkan and other tourist attractions.

Additional Location Information
Islamlar is a cool haven situated 8k North of Kalkan on the Mediterranean coast. It is famous for its natural spring water and trout farms. It has fabulous views of the sea.
There are many interesting anthropological sites to visit and beautiful deserted beaches. Islamlar, or Bodamya as it was once known, is known for its lush green gardens and was previously of mixed Turkish and Greek race. It is famous for its water powered stone mills that are still in use. The village makes its own tahini from locally grown sesame seeds. Every week the local women get together and make yufta, a natural flat bread made on an open fire from the stone milled flour. It is a fascinating area of great natural beauty. The village also has trout farms using the natural water that springs fresh from the mountain. There are several very good local restaurants serving trout, village bread and home made cheese.

text: My brother was lucky enough to get 4 standing room only tickets to the Pats/Redskin game this year and he was wondering if any one could give him an idea of what he is in for. He will be taking his father in-law and wanted to know if their might be a good place to take a break from the game if they need to sit for about twenty minutes. I would assume that if you leave your spot it would be hard to get back in a position to see the game. Is it difficult to move around the stadium? I've heard that some people enjoy watching the game from the bridge but I'm not sure how that area is controlled. Do they like you to keep moving or do they restrict the area to certain ticket holders? He also asked about restaurants in the stadium, I have been to some of the newer ball parks which have a wide variety of foods and restaurants. Some of the restaurants have even had views of the field; I would assume Gillette may have the same. Any advice you can provide would be helpful. Thanks.

Critical Review by Susan Fromberg Schaeffer
SOURCE: "The Woman Who Lost Her Children," in New York Times Book Review, April 18, 1993, p. 9.
In the following review, Schaeffer outlines the plot and themes of Woman of the Inner Sea.
What would you do if you were a happily married woman whose husband had an affair with a woman who came to obsess him—and then a mysterious catastrophe took your two beloved children from you forever? Would you have the emotional stamina to survive? If you are one of those fortunate people who hasn't experienced this kind of tragedy, you don't know. Kate Gaffney-Kozinski, the heroine of Thomas Keneally's 20th novel, Woman of the Inner Sea, doesn't know either—even though it has all happened to her—but she is about to find out.
Kate was raised...

This is my dumping ground for quotes and other stuff relating to the wonderful world of digital & communications.
The irony of copyright law as it stands is that historic orchestral broadcasts are often almost impossible to reissue by anyone, until they pass into the public domain. The standard contract with an orchestra would allow for an initial broadcast and then a single repeat transmission. Thereafter, a new contract would need to be drawn up with the musicians for any further use of that recording. Trying today to track down the performers (or their estates) for a symphony orchestra that existed in 1960 is well-nigh impossible.

Personal Finance
Welcome to CSR 342!
Recent world events have combined to give a new urgency to financial literacy in general and personal finance in particular. The sub-prime mortgage market collapsed and brought down with it the mortgage market as a whole. In short, it was a big mess! That said, it is what it is and we are stuck in a big mess, holding the bag and many trillions of dollars of national debt; and there is no end in sight.
No one really knows how long or how deep we will be in this financial morass and it is in our collective interest to know as much as possible about personal finance issues so we can make reasonably educated decisions and even know what questions to ask of a financial professional.
This class offers a comprehensive discussion of investments, consumer credit, insurance and retirement issues. The goal is to show how these components are interconnected in order to create a complete picture of financial health of an individual.

Gamecock to Block E3 with E.I.E.I.O.Indie-oriented publisher Gamecock has stated its intentions to plan an independent game expo held concurrently with the upcoming E3 Business & Media Summit. The laborious full name of Gamecock's tentative event is E.I.E.I.O. - Expo for Interactive Entertainment: Independent and Original - Fun Fest 2007.
E.I.E.I.O. is a response to the E3 exhibitor list on which we reported earlier this week. The list "noticeably lacked independent developers," a Gamecock representative pointed out to Shacknews.
Gamecock is headed up by CEO Mike Wilson (pictured left), president Harry Miller, and CFO Rick Stults, reprising their executive roles held at the now- defunct Gathering of Developers. As a small publisher, Gamecock necessarily pays out lower developer advances than their larger-scale competitors, but offers higher royalties as well as the desirable perk of allowing studios to retain their own intellectual property, a less common provision among major publishers. Five games have been announced across numerous platforms.
An early proposal of the potential Gamecock E.I.E.I.O. event, which is unrelated to the E3 Summit, was sent to members of the press, including Shacknews, this week. It reads as follows:
Gamecock is all about promoting the artists and bringing original games into this bloated and originality-starved industry. Gamecock is talking about plans for an E.I.E.I.O. - Expo for Interactive Entertainment: Independent and Original - Fun Fest 2007 - to be held on the same days as E3. What do you think? It would be great to have an event that supports the "uninvited" - the industry's best and most talented studios.
If Gamecock follows through with E.I.E.I.O., it will likely be held in Santa Monica on July 11-13, 2007, corresponding with this year's E3 Summit. There has been no indication as to the projected size or breadth of the Gamecock event.

Everything by yours truly (though I really shouldn't admit it). Just a bit of ska experimentation with mah Irish tin whistle. The saxophones are all tenor as I can't get my sister's alto to play a decent note (It's leakier that a sieve.
My neighbours probably think I have tourettes now... due to all the shouting and whatnot...
Comments appreciated!!

HAHAHA omg
lol hahaha this is pretty fun to listen to, but learn some h-h-h-h-harmonies. When all of the instruments are playing chords it sound very odd, lol.
7/10 and 4/5 :)
Yeah. I've never been good with harmonies. Something to improve on I guess. :D
I found the intonation was pretty crappy too. Keeping in tune with yourself is a bitch.
Cheers for the response and such!!

- Worth the experienceOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 9/29/2014This was the second time at Buddakan and things are still great. We sugest to order the Bo Bo appetizer to try different flavours. After this you have to order the Crispy jumbo shrimp!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The best asian kitchenSearchingforfoogasmDined on 9/29/2014This is easy! If you like the asian kitchen there is no other place i New York that is better than this. An experiencie you'll never forget. Go eat, now!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- delicious asian fusionfoodieallenDined on 9/28/2014The food was attractive and delicious. Generous portions, nice cocktails (a bit too sweet) and attentive service.

- Outstanding ambience,deliciousKazzapDined on 9/27/2014What a wonderful food experience of fresh and complementary flavors. I loved walking down the steps to the great hall. It was magical. I needed more time. Between courses to savour the delicious food.Special Features:
- Dark, sexy but not spicyCrillsDined on 9/26/2014This was highly recommended and didn't disappoint. Food was great quality but could have had the spice levels dialled up even more - chilli crab especially. But the General Tso Dumplings were sensational.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very disappointingSharriDined on 9/26/2014My husband and I ate at Buddakan in NYC with my grandson who is in his second year at Columbia Law School. We have eaten at over 5 Starr Restaurants and go to The Pod over 8 times a year, and my husband takes co-workers there for lunches as a reward for their hard work. We always leave Starr Restaurant feeling we had an outstanding culinary experience. NOT this time. The food was okay, but not up to the Starr Restaurant experience.Special Features:
- Great experience!Mz1234Dined on 9/25/2014I had my friends visiting from home and wanted to invite a nice dinner. This is a perfect place to enjoy one of a scene in New York and I'm glad they liked it a lot. Foods are decent and prices are not too expensive. They play upbeat house music but yet don't destirb the conversation. After all we had a great night!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Simply a great placecraigsmith9Dined on 9/25/2014We had a great experience at Buddakan, from the moment we walked into the bar area for pre-dinner drinks to the time we left. The wait staff were friendly, attentive and knowledgable. The atmosphere was bordering on electric, with great background music (not too loud) and plenty of people in the room making for great people watching. Overall, I would recommend this to anyone looking for a good night out in a vibrant restaurant, either with a group of friends or on a date night, and wanting to experience great food and wine with top level service.Special Features:

- Thank you for a wonderful dinnerCamilleCaresDined on 9/25/2014Thank you for a wonderful dining experience. I reserved an early table for 3 since my father in law was visiting from Washington and staying at the Harvard club. Even though we usually dine Brooklyn, I decided on Meat Packing district for a fun change of scene. Since my husband and I had never been to Buddakan we figured why not? Well it was excellent and I will be back. Great service and definitely exquisite fare from oxtail and general tso dumplings to the duck pasta!! Magnifique!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

The airco was way too cold, it was freezing and the acoustics were terrible! The food was ok but nothing special! The service was ok! Overpriced if you ask us! We tasted the best food ( healthy, soulfull) during our stay in NY but definatelly not at the buddakan!
- Great restaurant!Foodie4uDined on 9/22/2014I loved this restaurant. The only thing was, I had eaten at Tao 3 nights earlier, and they are extremely similar. Both are great experiences. Service was impeccable and food was amazing. I'll be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always Fun but NOISY!!NYerDined on 9/22/2014Perhaps one of the darkest restaurants (pitch black bar area, very dark seating areas except center downstairs) yet the food is the draw. Complex flavors and a broad menu from Dim Sum hot and cold appetizers to wonderful entrees and extravagant desserts.... yummy! Our waiter Kevin was charming, friendly and very involved in our care throughout the evening. The drinks menu is pretty great too. I wuld have gone for 5 stars except for the NOISE and the DARK!Special Features:

- Hands Down one of the BestBKBoysDined on 9/20/2014Been here for my birthday, was a little too early so i spend some time at the bar having some good vodka and pineapple-juice.

- Quicos' Buddakan First Experience -QuicoDined on 9/20/2014Awesome food and the recipes are very innovative. It is great for any time but specially recomended to celebrate your special ocassions with couple or friends. From my point of view, it is one of the best restaurants in NYC. The ingredients have very high quality and are extremelly fresh. Things to improve are the wine list. There is a lack of Argentinan, Spanish, South African or Uruguayan wines. Anyway, it is a must for a new yorker or people from abroad. The current wine list is not bad but it is only focused on specific regions. I think they have good chances to add new regions and wine brands to continue leading the NYC life. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Ambiance and Outstanding FoodDeemart4343Dined on 9/20/2014My first time to Buddakan will definitely not be my last. I thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere and the food. Our server was excellent. Definitelyy coming back!!Special Features:
- Juliabee73Dined on 9/20/2014Our experience was fantastic. We were celebrating a 70th birthday and I had requested a table in a quieter part of the restaurant. The one we got was perfect. It felt almost as if we were in our own room. Our server was wonderful. She knew the menu inside and out, was extremely friendly, attentive, and accommodating. And the food--oh my. I salivate just thinking about it, especially the tender, tasty beef and the chicken. Everything was superb. Finally, when we had to rush to get to an after dinner event, the restaurant was able to speed up our food and to even send a desert with "Happy Birthday" written on it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Beautiful food spot in MeatpackingTheSwedeDined on 9/19/2014Not all places in Meatpacking deliver scenic views, energetic vibes and good food, but Buddakan does - if you are looking for a great spot to start off your party night or just experience a nice evening in NYC. First - make a reservation if you are going the usual dinner time on Thursday to Saturday. Spontaneous visits may result in waiting, sitting in the dark bar area or no table at all! It´s popular for a reason! Second - if you are a smaller group ask for a little table if you do not want to share the community table with other people! High noise level! The best way to eat here is to pick several dishes and share, as they are medium to large in size. And it´s high quality Asian food! Been here several times and they never disappoint!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- recommendableLuv2dineDined on 9/19/2014Great service, great food. The only thing we were unhappy about was that we didn't get the food at the same time.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Food and Beautiful DecorJenniFDined on 9/19/2014Buddakan is certainly very hip, and to some would feel more like a night club than an actual restaurant. We were expecting this though when we arrived. The food was delicious and the portions extremely generous. We couldn't finish ours but our waitress was very happy to box our food up for us. There was a small mishap in the kitchen which meant that our main meals came out quite a long time after our starters, but the manager came over to our table without any prompting and offered us free dessert. When we said we were too full she then removed our starters from the bill which we thought was a great gesture. Fabulous service and we would certainly recommend Buddakan to our friends!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Noisy, noisy, noisyAnneDined on 9/19/2014Although the food is good, the place is so noisy you cannot have a conversation. As well we had to wait 30 minutes although we booked our table a month in advanceSpecial Features:

I had the great fortune to interview Walter Isaacson about his Jobs biography earlier this week for my Keen On… TechcrunchTV show. It's a four part interview which you can watch here, here & here. The fourth part, on Apple's walled-garden business model, will run on Monday.
Isaacson's biography, in spite of objections from Steve worshipers like John Gruber, is really rich and fair and explains why Jobs was both such a genius and a jerk. For me, the most memorable anecdote in the book is on page 405. Having argued with his senior team about whether to allow the iPod to work with Windows software (Jobs was against, everyone else in favor), Jobs finally threw in the towel. But, as Isaacson notes, Jobs "never won any awards for gracious concession speeches".
"Screw it," Jobs eventually conceded to his senior team about porting the iTunes software ans store to Windows. "I'm sick of listening to you assholes. Go do whatever the hell you want."
Therein lies the peculiarly consensual genius of the tyrannical Steve Jobs.

I probably need to know why you're asking for it. I understand you need something more specific, but what? What I posted two days ago was fairly specific I think. Not quite a design proposal though, more of a refactoring. I can give you some more details if you like. Or are you asking if I have something more up my sleeve? The answer is not really. I very loosely mentioned the possibility of Data Mappers, but my instinct is not telling me to go there, at least not yet.Quote:

Turkey burgers are a popular lunch at Gwyneth Paltrow's house, where she serves them on toasted brioche buns. She usually adds a topping or two, like Swiss cheese and a few pickled jalapeños. Jarred barbecue sauce adds a ton of flavor to the burgers and helps keep them from drying out. Paltrow got that tip from her friend Lee Gross, a macrobiotic chef who is obviously not averse to the occasional burger.

For those of you that are thinking of resigning from the LDS Church, here is a sample letter that you are free to use and adapt to your needs. You may add any other thoughts that might suit your particular situation.
Bishop _____________
Address ____________
This is to inform you that I am hereby requesting that my name, ________________________, (list wife and children also by name) be stricken form the records of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This request is made freely and with full understanding of the consequences of the act, as is taught by the Church.
I must insist that the record, and the letter notifying me that my name has been removed from the records of the church, show that the only reason that my name has been removed from the church records is that I requested it to be so. I also insist that the word 'excommunication' not be used in the letter notifying me of this action. Please be advised that I am taking this action because it has been demonstrated to my satisfaction that Mormonism is in great error, and teaches false doctrines.
I do not place my eternal life in the hands of any latter-day prophet nor is it (eternal life) conditional on my membership in any church or priesthood. I place my life at the foot of the cross.
I do not believe Joseph Smith was a prophet of God. He fails every test of a prophet including leading people after another god, uttering false prophecies, teaching false doctrines, and lying.
I am convinced that the Book of Mormon is a contrived document and not of divine origin.
My family and I rejoice that I have recieved the real Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Savior, and that I have the assurance and joy of my salvation according to God's Word, The Holy Bible (1 John 5:11-13).
Please be assured that my decision has been the result of much prayer, and is final. I will consider any attempts by Home Teachers, Visiting Teachers or other representatives of the Church to contact me as an infringement of my free agency.
I will not participate in any Church court or "trial," for I have done no wrong.
Finally, I testify to you that Jesus Christ in THE mediator between God and man (1 Timothy 2:5), and the Mormon's apostles, prophets and priests are false ministers (2 Corinthians 11:13), and that Mormonism is the "other" (i.e. "false") gospel that Paul warned of in Galatians 1:8-9).
Jesus Christ declared, "I am the way, the truth and the life, and no man cometh unto the father but by me." (John 14:6). I have chosen this day to follow Him!
(your name)
You should send a copy to your Stake President and also to the Presiding Bishoprics Office in Salt Lake City, Utah.

HIV infection, leading to AIDS, is a major world problem, especially in Africa. In addressing the problem of HIV infection, there have been major concerns.
The first major concern is that African people and governments have been unable to afford the level of care available in the United States and other developed countries, where (expensive) anti-retroviral therapy has not cured HIV/AIDS, but has permitted substantially longer life for those infected. In the last several years this has been partially addressed by two major developments. First is a significant increase in developed country assistance. The second is the (partial) resolution of international property rights disputes over anti-retroviral (ARV) drugs, which has permitted a substantial reduction in the cost of ARV drugs supplied in developing countries.
The second major concern is the persistence of behavior patterns that permit HIV infection. The three principal ways of HIV infection are by sexual contact, though blood transmission (by drug users sharing the same needle, and by medical procedures, especially blood transfusion, not adopting proper safeguards) and by mother to child transmission. Sexual contact is the major means of HIV infection, with mother to child transmission a consequence of sexual contact. HIV testing will alert HIV-positive people that they are HIV positive, and ideally they will take measures to protect their sexual partners against infection, and to not have children or to take measures to reduce the possibility of HIV infection in the newborn.

Zimbabwe: Transportation Infrastructure Vital for Economic CompetitivenessBy Master Mushonga, 5 October 2012
Photo: Leadership
Oil Pipeline
Our nation faces a number of challenges on its quest for development, and a key factor in the impediment of economic growth is the lack of quality infrastructure; especially transportation network.
Infrastructure is a stimulus for the economic growth process and access to funding is critical in this respect. Finance Minister Tendai Biti recently said the country requires around US$20 billion for infrastructure development and repair an amount greater than our current economy size. The transport network comprises roads, rail and air. The government is the public main provider of the infrastructure services, given the historical minimal participation of the private sector in the provision of same.
Zimbabwe's external debt in excess of US$11 billion arrears owing to the prolonged political and economic crisis, limits the country's capacity to borrow from regional and multilateral financial institutions to finance infrastructure. So, what options are can be pursued to close this gap?
Given the quantum of financial resources needed, additional financing to close Zimbabwe's infrastructure gap is unlikely to come from the three traditional funding sources, which is public sector (government), overseas development assistance and private funding because these are already under strain. Some African countries are increasingly turning to non-traditional financiers to meet their needs. China, India and some Arab states are the biggest provider of non-traditional finance. A particularly interesting form of Chinese financing in Africa are 'resource for infrastructure' (R4I) deals. R4I deals present less of a concern than traditional financing for debt sustainability.
Successful examples of such deals have been witnessed in a number of countries; for example Angola, partner in such a deal with China. Angola managed to leverage its oil resources to reconstruct its infrastructure following its civil war. Unreliable and slow transportation unduly stifles the flow of goods: neglected road, rail and air networks combine with red tape to reduce effective freight speeds between destinations. Such limitations close Zimbabwe off from the global economy, in cases reducing firm productivity by up to 40 percent. Consumers tend to pay higher prices for infrastructure services than consumers in other developing countries and the rest of the world.
At the high end of the price ranges, users in Zimbabwe pay three to 10 times more for the same service compared to users elsewhere. These high prices increase the cost of doing business in Zimbabwe and reduce demand by households. In the case of road freight services provided by the private sector, responses from private companies suggest that the average cost of road freight within Zimbabwe is in the range of US$0,10 per tonne kilometre. These rates are substantially higher than those that apply on the regional road corridors in Southern Africa, which are typically in the range of US$0,03-US$0,06 per tonne kilometre.
Low levels of periodic and routine maintenance over the past 10-15 years have been the main cause of the deterioration in the quality of the basic infrastructure of the country. This decline is well illustrated by the experience of the transport sector. International experience indicates that successful public private sector partnership programmes require good public sector management systems, and especially transparent tender processes and enforceable contracts, the use of transactional advisors, minimum political interference, and a relationship of trust between the public and private sectors.
The rail network is another critical element for economic recovery and development as it connects all major economic centres providing transport for bulk raw materials, finished goods and passengers. The rail track infrastructure, signalling and telecommunication system had deteriorated due to theft, and lack of regular repairs and maintenance resulting from financial constraints.
On the other hand, there is an urgent need for a strategic partner for the recapitalisation, rehabilitation and efficient management of the national airline to achieve competitiveness. Most national airlines world over have either been privatized or have invited private sector strategic partners to improve efficiency and international competitiveness. Surely, it is better to own 40 percent of an elephant than to own 100 percent of a rat.
Zimbabwe imports fuel through the 287 kilometre long Feruka pipeline which stretches from Beira in Mozambique to Feruka oil refinery outside the country's eastern border of Mutare. With a carrying capacity of 130 million liters per month, the oil pipeline has capacity to ferry all the fuel which the country consumes. But importers in the country have been shunning the pipeline opting instead for road transport due to various problems. This prompted government to introduce a US$0,04 per litre road fuel levy meant to induce importers to use the pipeline, but the cost is being passed to consumers. Government need to move in to make oil transportation mandatory by pipeline to decongest roads.
In the early 1990s, the coverage and quality of the basic infrastructure of Zimbabwe was among the best in the region. In the past decade, there has been a substantial deterioration in the quality of these infrastructure assets despite Zimbabwe being strategically positioned to provide a gateway to markets within the SADC region and beyond.
Despite tollgate fees being paid to ZINARA since 2009 no meaningful roads development has been witnessed. The Harare - Masvingo, Harare - Bulawayo, Airport and Shamva - Bindura roads are moving at a snail pace.

WASHINGTON — NASA-funded researchers analyzing a small meteorite that may be the first discovered from the Martian surface or crust have found it contains 10 times more water than other Martian meteorites from unknown origins.
This new class of meteorite was found in 2011 in the Sahara Desert. Designated Northwest Africa (NWA) 7034, and nicknamed "Black Beauty," it weighs approximately 11 ounces (320 grams). After more than a year of intensive study, a team of U.S. scientists determined the meteorite formed 2.1 billion years ago during the beginning of the most recent geologic period on Mars, known as the Amazonian.
"The age of NWA 7034 is important because it is significantly older than most other Martian meteorites," said Mitch Schulte, program scientist for the Mars Exploration Program at NASA Headquarters in Washington. "We now have insight into a piece of Mars' history at a critical time in its evolution."
(Source: nasa.gov)
SAN FRANCISCO — Though NASA is devoting many of its exploration resources to Mars these days, the agency still has its eye on an icy moon of Jupiter that may be capable of supporting life as we know it.

British mobile retailer Mobicity has prematurely announced the arrival of the new Samsung Galaxy S II HD, according to a report by Android Central.
The online store revealed that the successor to the Galaxy S II will feature a 720p HD screen and faster 1.5GHz processor. Additionally, display size will be increased to 4.65-inches and a more powerful 1850mAh battery will be included and Gingerbread is expected to be the OS of choice.
The Galaxy S II HD first appeared for the Korean market back in September (albeit with added LTE connectivity), however, this latest speculation adds some credence to rumours that the handset will make its way to Europe soon. The Australian Mobicity site has also listed the phone, so we can expect it to appear there at some point too.
Samsung's Galaxy S II has been a global success for the company, with many considering it the benchmark for Android handsets. Therefore it would make sense that the Korean manufacturer would look to build HD capability onto this already proven platform.
Sources are suggesting that Samsung may be preparing a full launch of the Galaxy S II HD at Barcelona's Mobile World Congress in February, however no official word has been forthcoming as of yet.

At the Interior Design Show: Dubbeldam Architecture + Design and BlackLAB
2013 / Categories: Uncategorized
It's a big weekend in Toronto for architecture and design.If you're visiting, welcome. May I suggest my introduction to Toronto for Architectural Digest?
The arty end of the design world shows off at the Gladstone Hotel's Come Up To My Room, which features installation and conceptual works, and the Toronto Design Offsite event in the Junction. I'm excited about both.
But the big event is the Interior Design Show, this weekend featuring two architecture firms I've covered here: Dubbeldam Architecture + Design and BlackLAB.
Heather Dubbeldam's firm is one of Toronto's and Canada's best emerging firms. Working on houses and interiors in Toronto, they've been building a body of consistently excellent projects. I've covered their work, and admired it, for years – including on the blog here and here. Last summer I wrote for The Globe and Mail's Style Advisor about "White House," one of their recent projects (story PDF here).
In The Globe and Mail: a young architect's corner-store urbanism
2013 / Categories: Uncategorized
Hi. More tomorrow (Jan. 25) about the Interior Design Show and other events. But I have a story today in The Globe and Mail about a project that shows some good design and equally strong community spirit.
It's the home of my neighbours Aaron Letki and Angela Tsementzis (who is in the photo above). Letki, a talented young architect, grew up in our area – near Christie Pits Park – and when he moved back in, he brought a sense of community. He renovated a beat-up convenience store, added a storey on top to create a duplex for himself, and fought for the right to open a café here, and The Hub is a comfortable meeting place for neighbours of all stripes.
It's an interesting case for how to redevelop this building type.
Death, "the projects," and the new Regent Park
2013 / Categories: Uncategorized
Terrible news in Regent Park last weekend: the killing of a teenager.
Fifteen-year-old Tyson Bailey was shot dead inside 605 Whiteside Place, on the top floor. Paramedics had to take the stairs because the elevators were not running; according to news reports it is unclear why they were not running, or whether this had an impact on efforts to save his life. Landlords Toronto Community Housing say the elevators were not broken.
However, in a broad sense this event fits an architectural cliche. 605 Whiteside is one of the highrise buildings of Regent Park South, designed by the modernist architect Peter Dickinson in 1958, with two-level "maisonette" apartments.
What did the building have to do with Tyson Bailey's death?
There is an obvious answer, which may or may not be right.
Ada Louise Huxtable, and building for the future
2013 / Categories: Uncategorized
I was deeply saddened to learn this week that Ada Louise Huxtable had passed away. For those of us who write about buildings, she was a titan: a historical figure who basically invented the profession of architecture critic 50 years ago, and was still doing it, very well, this winter.
Nothing I've written on No Mean City would be possible without her. Nothing in Spacing would be possible without her.
Here is the New York Times's obit. It was at the Times that she – "a young, brash, believing woman" with an architectural-history degree – became an unlikely power player in the world of development and planning.
She defined how to write about these subjects for a general audience, bridging the scholarly and the concrete, highbrow and slangy. She understood construction and finance, zoning and traffic, the history of architecture and the realities of marketing. She made architecture part of serious conversation.
She knew that buildings are made out of money, power and politics, and she was also a staunch defender of the public good: grand public buildings, diverse and lively streets, parks that are pleasant to be in, private spaces that serve their users comfortably. Her contemporary Jane Jacobs thought about the big picture; she thought about the big picture and also the details. In retrospect, she was right about everything.
Don River Park, Hurricane Sandy and the meadows that will save Bay Street
2012 / Categories: Uncategorized
What did we learn about building cities in 2012? From Superstorm Sandy, the lesson was that cities are not immune from the forces of nature. Wind and water trump steel and stone.
It was also, as the most powerful storm to hit New York in its 400-year history, a hell of a marketing event for climate change. This is not only a moral problem for the long term but also a practical challenge: where and how should we build our cities?
The wiser heads in landscape architecture are ahead of the rest of us – and their foresight produced real payoffs in New York. New redevelopment projects on the small Governor's Island survived the storm, because landscape architects Adriaan Geuze and West 8 raised parts of the landscape 16 feet. ("I'm glad I hired a Dutchman," says the island's chief.) And on hard-hit Staten Island, some neighbourhoods were protected by the earthworks of Fresh Kills Park – a garbage dump that is being remade into a park by James Corner Field Operations.
Those two projects reflect the growing ambition of landscape architecture, Both those firms are working in Toronto right now, too.
And one of the biggest Toronto design stories of the decade will be the opening, in 2013, of Corktown Common – which is built on and around a landform that will protect downtown Toronto from flooding. [Edit; name of the park changed.]
PLANT Architect's Westminster House
2012 / Categories: Uncategorized
In the Globe today I have a feature about a house renovation by PLANT Architect. This one is unusual, within the world of architectural journalism, because it only goes halfway; the owners and architects left this Edwardian house largely intact, with all its woodwork and plaster, and then added on a new seciton that is totally contemporary.
The Green Line: how Toronto urbanism moves forward
2012 / Categories: Uncategorized
Architects and urban designers, have a look at this: The Green Line, a new urban design competition for a leftover site in Toronto. Specifically it's a five-kilometre hydro corridor, the area under a set of electricity transmission lines, on the edge of downtown Toronto.
A few locals have compared this to New York's High Line, which began as a spectacular piece of infrastructure and ended up as a spectacular (and expensive) park. In fact the Green Line, which is an ideas-only competition, does not propose anything so grand; it's more in keeping with the tactical urbanism that has taken root in American cities, from San Francisco to Detroit, during this economic downturn.
SANAA's Gallery of Time
2012 / Categories: Uncategorized
I recently attended a lecture by the Japanese architect Ryue Nishizawa, who's part of the Pritzker-Prize-winning duo SANAA. It was part of the Daniels Faculty's Bulthaup Lecture Series, which you must know about if you're in Toronto and interested in contemporary architecture. Next up: Manuel Aires Mateus, Jan. 15.
Anyway: Nishizawa mentioned a fascinating new project, a satellite for the Louvre in the town of Lens. SANAA's design arranged the artworks and artifacts on display in one, long, continuous hall, with contemporaneous pieces arranged next to each other (and works with thematic links arranged in front of each other). It makes for a long, chronological walk through art history. It's a fascinating gambit, and brilliantly executed, to judge from new photos of the completed interior up at Architizer.
This is provocative, and I think a useful corrective to anyone who thinks the ROM's Lee-Chin Crystal is an innovative museum design.
Sorry for the extended absence of this blog; more soon, I promise.
EVENT: Andrew Blum plumbs the Internet
2012 / Categories: Uncategorized
Most days, I spend all day and much of the evening lost in the internet. Lost, that is, figuratively. We think and talk in physical terms about the net, the web, the online world – and this metaphorical place often feels like it's where I live.
But what does that mean? What is the world of the internet? For my friend the journalist Andrew Blum – architecture critic, Wired contributor, student of geography, and contrarian – that question was an invitation to explore the physical world of the net. The results became his book Tubes, which he's promoting with a talk at U of T's Rotman School today, Nov. 7.

Donald DeVault, 73, of Omaha, said the motorcycle stolen from his home Feb. 4, 1967, was recovered last week in the Port of Los Angeles when U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents found its vehicle identification number on a list of stolen property, The Omaha World Herald reported Thursday.
Lou Koven, an investigator with the National Insurance Crime Bureau in Los Angeles, said the bike was being shipped to Yokohama, Japan, when it was discovered.
Koven said the bike was valued at $300 when it was stolen, and it has now increased in value to $9,000.
DeVault said he was delighted to see his motorcycle again when it was shipped to McMullen Trucking in Carter Lake, Iowa.
"Well, I love it,'' DeVault said. "Yeah, I think I'll put it in my living room."

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I lead 10 person raids for our guild, and week after week, Rotface has reduced me to tears. Even when everyone is on the ball with kiting oozes and avoiding slime sprays, our dps always seems too low and we get overwhelmed.
I had been letting our off tank (paladin) kite the big ooze, but after reading this, I think I'm going to try kiting the ooze myself as marksman hunter and see how it goes. The off tank also does really good in his ret spec, so I'm hopeful with his DPS, two healing it, and any extra DPS I can do while kiting, we can finally finish this fight. And then I will gladly go and wipe on Putricide because I'll just be so happy to have downed Rotface.
Thank you so much for this article! I've really been enjoying your columns here. Keep it up!
We use a pally tank in 25 and he's able to handle it really well. I tried it myself once but I guess my kiting skills aren't what they used to be and I got 1-shotted when the big ooze caught up to me. It'd be a lot easier to kite if it weren't for those big puddles everywhere.

Emma Watson works out, so why are you too good to work out?
She's already skinny, she doesn't need to work out.
to stay fit you need to work out once in a while ^ you cant just give up
Primadonna Pushups!!!! To Marina and the Diamonds. It's only about 3 minutes-ish long…so I say…
WORKOUT COMMAND: get on the flo and lemme whip u into shape!!
Kay <3 u!
lost 50 lbs :) skinny feels goood!!!
She is so beautiful in both pictures!
Frozen Yogurt Dots
greek yogurt (any flavor) – Used honey, blueberry and strawberry
1/2 orange
1/2 lemon
1/2 tsp honey
fixins - I used chopped chocolate, chopped walnuts, sweetened coconut and cookie sprinkles. Other options could be chopped white chocolate or butterscotch chips, peanuts or different sprinkles.
Line a baking sheet with wax or parchment paper or use a non stick pan. Set pan a side. If you want to have fixins attached, they need to be spread out on the baking sheet first before you swirl on the yogurt.
Using separate bowls, pour in the yogurts. They need to be thinned out a bit.
Added a squeeze of honey and a squeeze of orange juice for the honey flavor.
Used a squeeze of lemon juice to thin out the blueberry flavor.
Used a squeeze of both lemon and orange juice in the strawberry.
Put 3 zip top bags into 3 glasses, and fold over the edges. These glasses are going to be your extra hand.
Pour in the yogurts and squeeze yogurt to one corner of the bag and clip off the tip.
Using a swirling motion make yogurt dots as big or as small as you like on the lined or goodie filled pan.
Place baking sheets in the freezer for at least 2 hours. Can be transferred to zip top bags and snacked on for 2 weeks. smittenfoodie
The day before you start, dramatically reduce your intake of caffeine, sugar, wheat, dairy, and alcohol. Eat light, focusing on raw greens, steamed vegetables, legumes, beans, and raw nuts.

So Just What Is the Truth about Clara?
Matt Smith and Jenna-Louise Coleman have been chatting vaguely about what the Doctor Who Series 7 finale The Name of the Doctor holds in store for the time travellers – and the speculation is hitting second gear!
The BBC has confirmed that the finale will finally solve the mystery of Clara, with the actress hinting that she can't wait to be able to talk about it.
All I can say is that Clara hasn't just met the Doctor three times before…
Wait – hold on a minute! Are they suggesting she's met him a fourth time? Or even more?
Naturally Matt Smith isn't going to tell us anything, other than this:
It's a complete game changer…and it all starts now!
Well I don't know about you, but I'm damned excited! So let the speculation begin here on the pages of Kasterborous.
Who/what/where/why and how is Clara Oswald?
27 Responses to So Just What Is the Truth about Clara?
That's it, she must be the Doctor's daughter from the episode of the same name.
Either that or it's Romana…
Or the Rani….
I believe that she's likely to be the Doctor's mother…
I really hope she is not his mother/sister/daughter/susan etc… They kissed. This would be extremely messed up if it turned out to be the case. Romana on the other hand I can quite believe that during the Time War she somehow became a Dalek through unfortunate circumstances.
I know it was a much bigger kiss in The Snowmen, but Marty McFly did sorta kiss his mother. He also had a couple sexually charged moments with her.
Or perhaps Susan?
I hate this phrase "game-changer". They keep throwing it around, without understanding what it means. It's what they said about A Good Man Goes to War, and yet the show is still about a man travelling around having one-off adventures with his friends. Unless they change that, the game's the same. Wish they wouldn't use terrible new buzzwords when all they really mean is "surprising and exciting".
The PR department are very keen to tell us how we should feel about something . I wish they would leave the viewers to say how they feel instead of trying to plant ideas beforehand.
My bet's on either River or Romana. Remember, she has a copy of Tom Baker's scarf in her house in "The Bells of Saint John", and those two are the most likely to have the scarf,,,
Where was that?
I'm thinking the time fragmentation is what happens when somebody runs over your Chameleon pocketwatch with a garbage truck?
I hate when that happens.
I can't really see her being Jenny (the Doctor's daughter), as that was an RTD creation and I don't *think* she'd come back under Moffat's tenure. Or her really being *any* Time Lord, as her dieing each time would lead to a regeneration, I'd think. So that would kind of rule out Romana, the Rani or River, I think. also can't see them going the Tardis route again so soon after doing it last series. Seems like that would cheapen the previous encounter.
Maybe, just maybe she's another version of the Watcher, the entity used to bridge the gap between the 4th and 5th Doctors and she'll disappear as she prompts his regeneration when he does fall.
She is signed on through series 8, though, so that has to be taken under consideration. If she was the Watcher, a reveal at the close of this series would be unlikely, especially as Matt has stated in the Radio Times that he'll be around in 2014. Whether this is for the whole series, or part of it, we don't yet know. I think the Time War may have created myriad possibilities, what with its effects upon Space, Time and the Universe at large, and so we might not have any precedent as to who/what she is as of yet. As always, it's wait and see…….
One thing for sure – she is another white, pretty ,female companion.
Why can't the Doctor travel with just a male companion for a change?
I suppose The Massacre Of St Bartholomew's Eve is the closest televised Doctor Who has come to a "Doctor/single male" companion story. As long as you ignore Dodo's abrupt introduction at the end of the story. And there's always The Keeper Of Traken if you bare in mind that Nyssa didn't officially become a travelling companion of the Doctor until the following story. Then there is The Next Doctor, but Jackson was joined by Rosita and besides I only consider them guest characters along with Astrid, Lady De Souza and Adelaide. Lastly there's always The End Of Time, as long as you consider Wilf a companion and ignore Donna and the cameos from Rose and Martha. Anyway, It would certainly bring a new dynamic to the show to have such a format for a while!
Maybe the upcoming event is a peace between the Daleks and Gallifrey and the time lock is undone.
I think this means that she has met 'PREVIOUS' incarnations of the Doctor. I am beginning to wonder if we have been duped into thinking that the classic Doctors are not returning in the 50th special when perhaps they will be returning in the episode 'The Name of the Doctor'! Great surprise if so and a welcome one.
If she is Romana then its a shame they dont tie it in with 'City of Death' When Romana has her portrait painted in Paris, her face is that of a clock. There is a 'crack' in time when it is revealed. Pehaps the same crack that appears from the TARDIS blowing apart. The clock could be the pocket watch that hides her Timelord identity and makes her human while hiding…
I'm wondering if Clara isn't somehow connected to Cal from The Library.
My own theory is that the doctor can not find any explanation for how she came to be splintered through time and space is because it is yet to happen. I.e. rather than being in her personal past it is a consequence of travelling with him. Somthing happening in the TARDIS would be the logical way to do it to her and that is why it won't let her in; it is being kind as it knows what will happen.
I don't know who Clara is, but I'm quite sure she is Gallifreyan. During the initial scenes of the Rings Of Athaken, when the Dr meets Clara and her parents in the playground the Dr crouches to say hello and (this is super nerdy) – in the shot when she smiles up at him, there are two hearts stitched into the pattern of her dress on her chest. Did anyone else also notice that in the specially filmed Athaken 'sequel' (on the swings) when Clara lists things she has lost, she finishes her list with 'mojo'. Mojo is odd – just odd enough to distract us from the penultimate word on her list – 'grandmother'. I appreciate this could mean her grandmother died, but something about the way the scene was played made It seem more literal.
Clara's mother utters a very curious expression on two separate occasions 'oh my stars!' – I haven't quite figured out why, but I feel this is significant too.
I've made this point before in the other article responding to 'Journey to the centre of the tardis' – but I think the theme of 'parenthood' has been one of the most 'hidden in plain site' themes since the revamped series began. The Tardis really does seem to be attracted to addressing disputes between unconventional, distressed and/or disjointed families. I didn't quite believe it myself until I did a proper wiki trawl of episode titles aired since the re-launch. I would recommend having a look through the list – its really very bizarre…from 'Father's Day' to 'The Curse of The Black Spot', the initially 'parentless' Amelia, the elusive 'Aupair/Governess' Clara, the 'absentee parent' sub-theme within the last three Christmas Specials!!
In the last minutes of 'Hide' the Dr also makes the point that psychic links are always stronger with 'blood calling to blood'.
My ultimate theory is that Clara is 'scattered' throughout time because the Doctor is protecting or hiding her from his enemies and that he has chosen to forget his 'title' (using some as yet unexplained technique) to dissolve his link with her. I think the Tardis could know about this arrangement – or perhaps just be jealous of their true bond? I think the Doctor's name could be something very straightforward and amusing – but his 'title' (revealed on the fields of Tranzolore) could expose his true relationship with Clara and unravel everything…
Just a thought…
sorry – I meant 'prequel' on the swings…
Clara is the Valeyard!
Being serious: I have no solid theory of who she might be, and I'm loving it.
With the new news that John Hurt is coming in as the "forgotten" 9th Doctor, is it possible that he is going to have answer the question of Clara. As for the question of her being Gallifreyan, unless they show a pocket watch I don't buy it because of the fact she has died in Victorian London as well as in a future time Dalek Asylum… The Doctor has done every test known to Time Lord so it rules out Clones, Body Doubles (Like Zygons)… But if there is a forgotten 9th due to the shame of the Time War, is it possible the shame has to do with maybe a human Clara thrown into the time vortex, split into multiple versions all over the time continum.
Its either Cal in human form or River Song!
The Master?
I'm thinking maybe she is connected to Captain Jake in some way???
