Richard Ambrose and Jonny Phillips quickly construct a building made of concrete canvas— a material that consists of all the elements of concrete, but is flexible enough to be turned into any shape. This technology allows people to erect permanent structures in a fraction of the time that it would have done using traditional building techniques.

In the past she accused him of "pushing her away"...
This is video of a man pushing his girlfriend over the edge of a canyon, forcing her to sample 'the world's most insane rope swing'. The footage, shot by Devin Graham, features a woman tied to the 400ft rope swing, on the edge of the canyon in Utah. The woman's boyfriend is seen standing behind her and appears to be doing his best to calm her down before she attempts the stunt. But when she tries to back out at the last second, he just pushes her off the edge and sends her flying out over the canyon! One can clearly hear her shouting, "I'm breaking up with you!" with her words echoing through the canyon.
To see even more heart-racing footage, WATCH "World's Most Insane Rope Swing Ever":

What are the specs (waist and inseam) for a men's 30 in bronson pants, it's hard to tell from the listing because it just says (cargo green 30, $48.97)?
Jeremy Hensel

30 inch waist, 32 inch inseam

I know a lot of the stock images aren't quite the right color...can anybody confirm/deny the color of the khaki?
Josh Chapman
Member since
Hey Jvette,
The detailed views we offer were taken in house and should accurately represent the khaki color.
Favorite climbing pants
Member since
Unlike the other reviews these fit exactly as expected for me. I use them as my primary climbing pants and have nothing but good things to say. Just the right amount of stretch and made out of a tough but super comfortable material.
odd fit
Member since
The Bronson is a bit tight in the upper front thighs and gives a wedgie feel in the butt. Then there seems to be extra material in the crotch which accentuates the genitalia. Not for boxer wearers. My waist 32 came in ok but the cut seems to make the pants have a low rise. The 30 inseam is more like 32. I compared the Bronson to my Axiom jean (which I like and when new were much roomier and no oddities as the Bronson) and the main difference is the Axiom gusset is an even elliptical eye shape. The Bronson gusset has that same shape in the rear pieces of the pant but the cut in the front cuts in about 2 inches on ea. side before it meets the inseam and is more like a half circle. I think this might be what makes it feel like it's tight in the thigh and bunches out in the crotch. If I keep them I'll have to get a pair of briefs to keep from showing it all and hem them up a bit. The charcoal color is excellent and they feel like flanel but are lightweight as linen. They don't really NOT fit but are different and I think will work out. I just don't get why Prana doesn't match the Axiom cut. The material thickness and stretch are not that different from ea. other. If my waist size was just right barely and others were large it makes me wonder if Prana needs to check up on it's Quality Control in the pattern area?
Member since
I agree that the fit is different but I love it! Being a tall skinny guy myself (6'2 165lbs) I love that my thighs and my little butt don't get lost in these things and that they don't have that baggy look around the waist but still offer a little room around the knees and ankles. They do have a low rise feel because of this, but I got use to it and because of the stretchiness of the pants, I now find them quite comfy. My favorite pants!
Sizing off ...
Member since
I'm 6'0" 150 lbs.
I have the Prana Stretch Zion and Axiom Jean in 30x32 and they are PERFECT. Was hoping these would also be perfect. Not so :( The 30x32 version of these are good in the legs if not a little too snug (but my legs are skinny) but sadly they SUPER tight in the waist and and eh'hem other areas. The 32x32's are like a pair of oversized sweat pants in comparison. I got the 32x32's and washed the in hot hot water and dried on super-duper and they're OK ... but still disappointing compared to the Zion and the Axiom. :( :( double frown for prana for this weird sizing. Otherwise, they would be great. They are made from a very thin and soft fabric.
Nice looking anyway
Jake Brow
Member since
Well, just like the other reviewers are saying, the sizing is a bit off. 6' & 150lbs, and I usually wear a 32x32. Got the 32s, and they definitely aren't small. A belt is definitely needed with these. I wear them on days when I'm working in the office, and climbing after work so I don't need to bring pants to climb in. That being said, they are pretty comfy to climb in. Crotch is definitely gusseted, and they move pretty well with you. Not a bad purchase, just wish they would've been truer to size. I would've bought a 30..
good ... size .. a bit off
Tonatiuh Fernandez
Member since
Actually liked them a lot, bad thing... they wee too big for me .. and i couldnt find in stock the right size anymore... they look good and they are long (quite important for me) they seem solid and could look good in the office, too bad the size i normally get did not work for me
decent, not great
Gabe H.
Member since
good weight to wear around, cotton similar to khakis and cut similar to jeans. i'm 6'1" and 180lbs, i normally wear a 32, 33 or 34 depending on the pant. i wear a 32 in these and have sufficient room to fit a hand inside the waistband. at the same time, when i squat down or sit in a chair, the legs are a little tight in the thigh area near the upper leg/crotch. i would prefer a more generous cut, especially from a pant that is gusseted (ie. the gusset might as well not even be there with this pant). prana also cuts their length to the waist size (rather than making lengths) this is annoying because if i bought the 33 or 34, that's a pretty long inseam, and even the 32 is generous in length.. you gotta be pretty tall, or willing to get them hemmed to make the larger waist sizes work.
i wish i could have tried a 33 just to check the fit, but i could already fit a hand in the waistband as i said..
Kelly Bork
Member since
got these for my boyfriend to use when bouldering.. hes the same height and a bit heavier, so sized up to the 34, and still has the same problem with a loose waist and tight thighs (especially when climbing)

Global party girl Ke$ha has announced that she is heading down under for her first ever Australian tour.
In addition to her recently announced live performances at 2011 Future Music Festival, the "Tik Tok" singer will also play a string of all ages headline shows around the country from 3-16 March in 2011.
FEATURE: Future Music Festival 2011 line-up
Hot on the heels of an 8-nation headlining tour of Europe and fresh from taking out the coveted Best New Act award in the 2010 MTV Europe Music Awards earlier this week, Ke$ha and her spiritual healer are ready to get the party started in Australia.
The "We Are Who We Are" singer touched down in Sydney yesterday for a week-long promo tour ahead of her Cannibal album release on November 22. The paparazzi and fans alike are sure to be in a frenzy as Ke$ha hits the city's shops, restaurants and hot spots this week.
PHOTOS: Ke$ha visits Nova to announce her tour
On her previous visit down under to promote her Animal album, Ke$ha spent a lot of time at the Zoo.
"I went to the Zoo. Is it true that all Koalas have Chlamydia? That just really weirded me out because I was like patting them and they're like so cute," she asked Nova.
Tik, tok, Australia… The countdown to Ke$ha mania has begun!
Ke$ha 2011 tour dates: Thursday 3 March – The Riverstage, Brisbane Monday 7 March – Challenge Stadium, Perth Wednesday 9 March – Festival Hall, Melbourne Thursday 10 March – Hordern Pavilion, Sydney Wednesday 16 March – Adelaide Entertainment Centre, Adelaide
Tickets for Ke$ha's 2011 Australian tour go on sale November 18 from ticketmaster.com.au (Brisbane, Perth, Melbourne) and ticketek.com.au (Sydney, Adelaide).

The Bar Barometer 2014: what else did it say?
8 April 2014
As the winter term ends the latest issue of Lawyer 2B is now on campus. This week's bulletin therefore leads with two of our biggest features - one giving top tips for vacation schemers and another to give you the low down on one of DLA Piper's biggest deals this year.
We also have a survival guide for vacation schemers, a focus on corporate, blog posts on an internship in Uganda and the Exeter law fair, a profile of BPTC graduate Nicola Downey, and an Ask Lawyer2B from someone worried about their academics.
In news, Clifford Chance has confirmed that it will be cutting its trainee intake for 2015 from up to 120 to a maximum of 100, while the directors of the School of Law at the University of Nottingham have asked law firms to give further consideration to vacation scheme and training contract "applicants from the University of Nottingham even where their grades do not meet the upper second class threshold".
You can see the latest edition here.
P.S Lawyer 2B's first-ever webcast, powered by the College of Law, will be taking place on 12 December. Editor Christian Metcalfe will be chairing the panel discussing the importance of international law for future top lawyers and you can send your questions in to be answered. All you need to do is register beforehand.
Knowing me, knowing you
Vacation schemes are not only a great way to sample life in a law firm, they can be a two-week interview for a training contract. Lawyer 2B canvased the opinions of both recent and not-so-recent vacation schemers and a careers expert to gauge the importance of vacation schemes and find out what to do and what not to do if you are lucky enough to find yourself on one.
Anatomy of a deal: Tracking the negotiations
The £4.5bn deal between the DfT and Agility Trains allowed DLA Piper trainees to get involved at all levels - get the inside track on the biggest infrastructure deal of the year.
Survival Guide - Vacation schemes
Vacation schemes are not only a great way to sample life in a law firm - they can be a two-week interview for a training contract.
Jennifer Jenkins, Manchester University law graduate and training contract hopeful, spent two months as an intern for the African Prisons Project in Uganda while second year law student Charlotte Beer helped calm the storms engulfing Exeter law fair last month.
Practice Area focus - Corporate
Mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures and initial public offerings can make for long hours, but if you dream of getting your name in the Financial Times it may be good to start here.
60-second interview
Pupillage hopeful Nicola Downey advises BPTC students to treat the course like a full time job.

Ask Lawyer2B - Are my academics good enough?
I don't know whether to pursue a career as a solicitor or go down a different route where academics aren't everything. I'm in the final year of my (non law) degree at the moment and am looking at applying for the GDL. I was on a good city vac scheme this summer and have good A-levels (AABB) but my uni isn't great - it's not Oxbridge or Russell Group, it generally hovers around 40th place in the league tables. It's by no means terrible but it doesn't exactly shine either. I know myself and I know I won't be happy if I'm at a tiny regional or high street firm. Is it worth pursuing a career in law or should I go down a route where perfect academics aren't everything? (1 response)

Found April 06, 2013 on Wrestlechat.net:
PLAYERS: Paul Heyman, Paul Bearer
Paul Heyman spoke with Chad Dukes of ChadDukesWrestling.com and 1067 The Fan to promote WrestleMania 29. Here are some highlights: The Paul Bearer angle: "I mean leave it to a Jew to portray a resurrection the day after Easter Sunday. That was part of how offensive it was supposed to be! Of course, it was designed to offend! It was designed to be controversial! It was designed to piss people off and I wish it went even further than it did." The possibility of a CM Punk vs. Brock Lesnar match: "Listen if they happen to come to blows, I have both sides of a main event, that's not bad. Isn't that conventional thinking, I'd have to choose one side? Listen, tell ya my theory of life. I have a hot girlfriend. I have another hot girlfriend, on the side. Now, I can sit there and lie to them both and say, "Honey, you're the one," and then go to the other one, "Baby, you're the one." Or I can get them together and have the best of all worlds. Now you tell me, do you wanna live the double life, or do you sit there and say, can't we all get along? So, why can't I have both sides of the main event?" A Steve Austin vs. CM Punk match: "I'm very intrigued by what could possibly happen if those two could step into the ring with each other. The chemistry with each other, and around each other, there's a real combustible element there. You just know it. They have so much respect and admiration for each other, but man you look into each others eyes going, "man I'd really like to tangle with this dude." "Let's say Austin comes back for WrestleMania XXX, let's say he comes back against CM Punk. Is that a $200 million dollar weekend in revenue? Is that a $200 million dollar gross revenue weekend and is the catalyst for that figure going from 150 to 200, Stone Cold Steve Austin? Now if that intrigues Steve, it intrigues me but I'm not Steve, I think Steve would be back."

One of my favorite iPhone apps has been submitted to Apple for release, but is not yet available and still in beta testing. As you can see in the image gallery, the application is quite functional and full featured.

Roswell wide receiver Chris Boyd said Rajaan Bennett and the other eight Georgia high school players to sign football scholarships with Vanderbilt earlier this month "were like family."
"I've been texting back and forth with other Vanderbilt recruits all morning," Boyd said. "None of us really know how to react. We're all in a state of shock and can't believe that Rajaan is gone. It's so sad."
Boyd and Bennett became fast friends at December's North-South all-star game in Columbus. Boyd was a longtime commitment to Vanderbilt and was trying to convince Bennett to also pick the SEC school.
"We hung out and chilled together that week," Boyd said. "We talked about the recruiting process. He had big dreams for his college football career.
"He showed everybody what he could do that week. He was an amazing running back. He ran hard, running people over on defense, and gave it his all every play."
Vanderbilt coach Bobby Johnson had grown close to Bennett and his family during the recruiting process. Bennett narrowly picked Vanderbilt over Kentucky and Tennessee, and Johnson considered him one of the stars of the recruiting class.
"Rajaan was an extraordinary young man and an ideal fit for Vanderbilt University," Johnson said in a statement. "As we got to know Rajaan, it became very clear to our coaches that he was a better person than he was an athlete. He was a leader, a young man who gained the respect of the entire community at McEachern High School."
"All of us at Vanderbilt are devastated by news of Rajaan's death. This is just so tragic to everybody that knew and loved Rajaan. Initially, our thoughts and prayers are with his mother Narjaketha and family members. I know he meant so much to them."

In metal circles, Volbeat has become a household name. The band is loaded with metal chops and yet concurrently appeals to genres outside just their home base. The crowds that gather to see the band perform their art range in age and fandom, covering a wide spectrum of musical taste and appreciation. A Volbeat show has practically become an affirming event – patrons are there to see great music and have a great time, in a shockingly well-behaved fashion, which isn't unwelcome.
The gathered masses were first greeted by Digital Summer, the Phoenix based rock band that captures immediate headlines by the presence of their thirteen year old drummer, Austin Rios. Let me tell you, that kid is better at drums at age thirteen than I am at anything at thirty.
Digital Summer is fully capable of winning over every crowd they encounter through the constant, honest effort they impart into their performance. Every measure is a full-force exhortation, a recitation of the dedication it takes to craft a coercive stage performance. The band members bound back and forth, begging the crowd to feel the music of their singles like "Forget You" as they do. In a workman-like half-hour, the band had brought the crowd around to the point that the clapping and cheering was more than just polite appreciation – Digital Summer had won some fans. The metal elitist is sure to point out that their music doesn't possess some of the 'necessary' hallmarks. Irrelevant. Watch them, then decide.
Wow, Trivium. What the heck happened? There was a moment that feels like a career ago when Trivium was anointed The Next Big Thing. They were the new Metallica, they were going to steward heavy metal into its next golden age, they were going to ascend the throne and dominate the genre as few had done before…only it never materialized. Suddenly and without discernable reason, the band wasn't a hot commodity anymore, and everyone moved on.
But wait a minute. Trivium on this night was good. Really good. Their performance was loud without being overbearing, the timing was tight and the songs sounded better than they ever have. This on the heels of the abrupt departure of drummer Nick Augusto only two nights before. It seems impossible that a band could recover so quickly from such an integral loss, but Trivium seemed lose and at ease as they performed an array of fan favorites. There was an incredibly powerful and effective three-song trifecta right in the middle of the band's forty-five-ish minute performance, beginning with a crushing "Built to Fall" and continuing through "Strife" and "Black." The band was energetic, even the visibly concentrating former drum tech and now johnny-on-the-spot Mat Madiro. To the credit of Madiro, he plays nicely in the pocket of the musicians around him, executing his fills with precision.
Where has this Trivium been? Did something change besides the drummer? In any event, much to the surprise of many, they are not just another direct support act. This band brings it on stage and is an enjoyable experience.
Which brings us to the headliner. Listen, by now everyone has a pretty solid grip on Volbeat – we know the sound, we know the songs, we know the professionalism. Much like the home runs of Willie Stargell (or more recently Carlos Delgado,) there are no cheap ones at a Volbeat show. The band always brings their endemic blend of musicianship, talent and plain fun to the stage, igniting the crowd in sing-alongs and participation, effectively closing the gap between those performing and those watching. We get all that. It's part of the Volbeat experience. So yes, there was a blasted "Doc Holliday" to open, a mainstay in "Still Counting" and the obligatory "The Mirror and the Ripper" to close. But in the midst of those things, three events took place which should impart everything you need to know about what Volbeat is really about.
First, "Evelyn." This piece required some help, which came in the ready form of a return of half of Trivium to the stage, with vocalist Matt Heafy capably filling the studio recorded shoes of Napalm Death's Barney Greenway. It lit the crowd up, a rare treat that seldom makes appearances in the live set. It was a symbol of Volbeat's willingness to go the extra mile to bring the fans what they want, and to be inclusive of the musicians around them.
Then, not but two songs later, Michael Poulsen explains to the crowd, as he often does, that he places a lot of faith in his musical inspirations and takes every opportunity to pay homage to them. It's part of Volbeat's idiom – they want it to be known that they are a product of their musical exposure, fans who recognize that they owe a great deal to the artists who showed them what music could be. With an almost casual gesture as he announces that Volbeat is about to cover the Misfits' "Angelfuck," Poulsen then invites the one and only Jerry Only to the stage, allowing the more veteran singer and consummate showman to sing his song with the power of Volbeat behind him.
Lastly, right near the end, recognizing their wide-ranging appeal, Poulsen and Volbeat invited all the young children in the crowd (and there were plenty) to come to the stage to help them sing through "Thanks." If a Volbeat show has become an affirming experience, then this marks the single affirming moment – when the band grows the next generation of rock and metal fan, celebrates their youth and ushers them into the family. In the process, Volbeat has cemented those kids as fans – they will remember the experience of being on stage and appreciate the music all the more as they walk through their fandom. Much as Volbeat is a product of their inspirations, these kids will be a product of Volbeat.
Volbeat's performance is more than a simple recital of tried and true songs. It is a revival of sorts, a heady, seamless combination of rock and metal that brings together the disparate fans who have spent too much time trying to drive apart.

Reality TV has had its fair share of villains, but when the bad behavior happens off camera, it's still a bit of a shock -- especially in the case of 'Top Chef Just Desserts' Season 1 finalist Morgan Wilson, who was indicted on three second-degree felony charges of possession with the intent to promote child pornography.
Wilson, 38, was arrested on Dec. 7, 2010 -- less than a month after the 'Just Desserts' finale episode aired -- when undercover investigators received file transfers from him via Limewire on his computer in September 2010. The file transfers allegedly contained images and videos of children as young as toddlers engaged in sexual acts, according to Pegasus News.
Fans of the Bravo show will remember that Wilson (whose bio is still live on Bravo's site), who lives in Plano, a suburb of Dallas, Texas, was known for getting emotional when talking about his young daughter in confessionals throughout the season of 'Just Desserts.'
Plano police officers searched Wilson's residence on Sept. 27, 2010; at that time, Wilson was shown three images that had been sent from his IP address and downloaded by investigators. According to the police affidavit, Wilson admitted he had viewed these images, and signed and dated the images to indicate the agreement with police. Wilson's laptop computer and an external hard drive were then taken from his residence and further reviewed by FBI forensic examiners, according to police.
Wilson was released Dec. 16, 2010, on a $10,000 bond under the stipulation that he would not have access to any computer without monitoring software.
The executive pastry chef at Dallas' Ritz-Carlton Hotel Lobby Lounge since 2007, the hotel's Web site just removed Wilson's name from the site; their Director of Human Resources Jim Van Winkle had previously declined to verify Wilson's current employment status at the hotel.
In a sad but ironic look back, this Bravo video from the Season 1 finale shows Wilson praising winner Yigit Pura for being a "very good human being" on top of being a wonderful pastry chef.
This clip -- titled "The Two Sides of Morgan" -- shows him goofing off and playing pool with several competitors, while some other of his fellow chefs talked about him being a "douchebag" who they don't respect.

Using Video Analytics at Industrial Sites
How changing threats, compliance issues and intrinsic site challenges are furthering the need for automatic video solutions
There is little dispute that intelligent video has found a place at the round-table of well-funded high-security installations. Yet simultaneously, a perception has permeated the security industry that intelligent video is only for the heavyweights of security: the core infrastructure of ports, airports, transit stations, and nuclear power sites.
Early intelligent video developers are partly to blame for this out-of-reach perception because they spent more time on functionality rather than worrying about delivering a usable and simple to install solution for the masses. Early costs of these systems were also well beyond the budgetary reach of many businesses which relied upon private funding rather than federal grants.
Today there are commercially available intelligent video systems that are high-performing and proven, yet designed for simplicity of installation and operation. Despite this, corporate security directors for industrial sites have plodded along traditional routes using timeworn security programs only to be blind-sided by new trends in crime and added responsibilities of security compliance issues.
Popular criminal trends have cropped up, such as scrap metal theft, industrial-plant theft, and frivolous injury claims. On the industrial security front, administrators found their facilities exposed with too many holes because security components deployed for industrial security were not designed for such wide-area detection nor for the added dimension of anti-terrorism.
With limited budgets and a tendency to stay away from complicated solutions, industrial security was without a viable solution for protecting wide-open areas. Faced often with expansive and sometimes labyrinthine sites, not tidy office buildings with easily identified access points, etc. industrial security specialists often relied upon the standard solutions of gates, guards, fences, and when they could, cameras.
New threats arose that targeted materials that previously would not have been considered high-plausibility targets. A good example of this is the problem of scrap metal thieves that cart away everything from railcars, steel rolls, and copper wiring to guard rails and street signs.
But even more threats have become challenges in recent years - industrial security now needs to secure against threats not previously believed to be security issues, including theft of toxic chemicals, biomedical waste, and flammable materials. Such materials in industrial areas are often inhospitable for guard patrols, yet remain accessible to determined intruders. Because of these changing threats, even high-voltage areas and hazmat facilities (once thought to almost be self-protecting by their inherent danger) now need protection.
Despite the obvious problems of traditional security measures, the new demands of industrial security, and the benefits of intelligent video to fill this void, security installers lag behind in offering these more effective systems over the traditional devices they know and love. What lays in the future for security installers is greater demand for intelligent video solutions, especially in the industrial security market where the benefits of intelligent video and the return on investment are substantial.
Cutting Security Costs
The benefits of intelligent video are clear. It watches over areas that are too dangerous for security guards to patrol. It provides the ability to monitor wide areas and detect not just short-range movements, such as an infrared motion detector, but true intruder behavior scenarios. It can differentiate people from small animals, outperforming other sensors that typically cannot tell the difference between the two.
Additionally, new intelligent video edge devices have become available and provide a plug-and-play approach for remote and stand-alone deployment, for example, locations where a dedicated network processing computer or an onsite security guard is not cost effective or logistically possible.

Botanical illustrators straddle line between art, science
Before photography, scientists relied on the work of botanical illustrators to document and record plants. Today botanical art is prized for plant portraits that are both elegant and technically accurate.
An exhibition at UC Botanical Gardens that runs through February 3rd showcases the intricate skills of botanical artists.
The Third Annual Plants Illustrated exhibition, held in conjunction with the Northern California Society of Botanical Artists, includes a talk and a two-day class by artist Catherine Watters. Notecards featuring some of the illustrations … Continue reading »
Berkeley's new Magnes building to be unveiled on Sunday
On Sunday, the doors will open to a new cultural institution in Berkeley. The many thousands of books, paintings, prints, textiles, and photographs that make up The Magnes Collection of Jewish Art & Life – which was formerly located in an early 20th-century family home on Russell Street in the Elmwood neighborhood — will now be readily accessible to the public in a beautifully renovated, centrally located 25,000 sq ft space at 2121 Allston Way.
The building, which was designed in the 1920s as a printing plant for UC Berkeley, was most recently used by UC's Bancroft Library, with whom the Magnes now partners. Before that, the Berkeley Public Library occupied the space. Marks left by book stacks on the stained, maple-colored concrete floors bear the stamp of the building's history.
The building has been transformed by San Francisco architects Pfau Long in collaboration with local design and fabrication company Picassa Studios. The goal, said the museum's Director Alla Efimova, was to create a warm, inviting place with an emphasis on transparency.
"We wanted an open space with a good flow where the community could spend time discovering the collection," she said. … Continue reading »
Commission aims for more transparency in elections
Berkeley's Fair Campaign Practices Commission will consider changes to local campaign laws on Thursday that members hope will bring greater transparency to election finances.
The commission will consider adding new restrictions on independent committees, which are defined as groups spending money independently rather than in coordination with a candidate or measure. While the 1974 Berkeley Election Reform Act prohibits businesses from contributing to a candidate, and limits individuals to a $250 donation, businesses and other interested parties can set up separate independent committees that accept unlimited donations. The independent committees can then use those funds in support of ballot measures and candidates.
The proposed law would require any independent committee spending $1,000 or more on a ballot measure to notify the City Clerk's office of that expenditure within 24 hours. The City Clerk would then be required to post that expenditure online within two business days, and to alert those affected by the expenditure. The law would apply 40 days prior to an election. … Continue reading »
Pianist Dick Whittington back in Berkeley, his kinda' town
If Berkeley had a hall of fame for musicians, pianist Dick Whittington would be inducted as part of the inaugural class. As an educator, presenter, and ebulliently swinging player, he left an indelible mark on the city's jazz before decamping for the Monterey Peninsula in the mid-1990s.
In an all-too-rare return to Berkeley, he performs Saturday at the Jazzschool with his trio featuring bassist Robb Fisher, drummer Vince Lateano and special guest Andrew Speight on alto saxophone.
Born and raised in Los Angeles, Whittington made his first major contribution to the Bay Area scene in the late 1960s when he and trumpeter Phil Hardymon helped found the Berkeley public school system's innovative music program. By the time he retired in 1991, he had helped initiate several generations of musical visionaries into the art of improvisation, including Peter Apfelbaum, Rodney Franklin, Steven Bernstein, Jessica Jones, Joshua Redman and Benny Green. … Continue reading »

Hard waste collection this week - mwoooahahah! I am absolutely gobsmacked at what some people consider rubbish. Here are some goodies we picked up from the footpath in the last couple of days...
Not a THING wrong with these tables!
One leg on each of these chairs is a little wobbly but nothing that can't be fixed...
Some more goodies that I've picked up cheap and can't wait to get my hands on...
I scored this big ass TV cabinet for $50. We're pretty sure it's made of oak. It's crazy heavy but luckily it has casters hidden underneath. I'm going to take out all the slidey things from the inside and put some shelving in.
The bottom doors slide out and have shelving inside. I'm going to remove the CD rack inside obviously. This can just be unscrewed and the shelves left in.
Now I'm just putting the finishing touches on my dining suite which is all but finished. I should have some photos soon.
Here is a photo of the new addition to our family. He is about 8 weeks old and is cuteness all over. His name is Archie and he and my puppy Levi have become great mates :)
This is Archie about to climb up my leg and latch on to my neck!

Islander Fans – Masters of Gerrymandering
MattandDan | Jul 14, 2013 | Comments 10
There are many different fans in the sports world. Some root just for winners; we call them frontrunners, bandwagon fans, or just plain old jerks. Maybe they're on to something, as they tend to end up watching excellence – or lots of free throws in the case of Miami Heat fans. Then there are fans that stick with their team through thick and thin, for better or for worse, because they provide a distraction for the boring rituals of every day life. Diehards, lifers, or maybe people lacking better choices for hobbies. Then there lies a group that is in between. They're a special kind of lifer that actually >GASP< asks for excellence of their team. We call this the moderate fan- the most misunderstood fan in the sports world.
See, a frontrunner will say that winning is the important thing, so why bother wasting time watching a loser? There's certainly a fair point in that kind of thought. A diehard will say that victory tastes sweeter when you suffer through the downs because it makes you appreciate the ups even more. Also a good point. But the point the moderate fan makes is, why can't we demand that our team provide us with a winning product? Are we less of a fan because we watch mediocrity and actually want better? If we see some improvement, is it wrong to want more? Is ok to ask those "in charge" to be held accountable?
In politics there is a premise called Gerrymandering. Gerrymandering is a practice in which you draw lines in voting districts in order to preserve that area for a representative of a specific political party. As politicians try to maintain a majority in an area, these lines are drawn nowhere near straight- they're very unusual lines to represent one political side at the expense of the other views in those areas. Many Islander fans have shown an amazing propensity to do exactly the same- they gerrymander any personnel move by Garth Snow.
For example, if you look at the FANTASTIC trade made by the Ottawa Senators in acquiring Bobby Ryan from the Anaheim Ducks and listen to Islander fans speak, they truly show a grasp of gerrymandering that should put them in Washington. If you look at the players Ottawa sent statistically, they sent a guy who MAY be a 20 goal scorer in the NHL, a leading scorer in the AHL, and a mid first round draft pick. Hmmm…did the Islanders have a potential 20 goal scorer on the roster in Josh Bailey? A leading AHL scorer in Nino? A mid first round pick? Yes, they did. But, Islander fans will start the Gerrymandering process with "Nino hurt his leverage with his NHL play and his bad attitude." Nino's ROLE hurt his value, as a finesse player isn't meant to be stuck on a fourth line with the likes of Jay Pandolfo and Marty Reasoner, the latter possessing the whopping one Islander goal over two seasons. If you are going to say that Nino's play hurt Snow's trade leverage, then you have to hold Capuano responsible for putting Nino in a spot that not even Wayne Gretzky himself could have scored. Or Snow himself for ruining trade values by not telling Capuano to play Nino with Tavares, just as Snow told Capuano to use Roadcone Finley and Thomas Hickey over Radek Martinek last season.
And speaking of hurting leverage, we wonder how Bob Murray didn't hurt his bargaining position by shopping Ryan for 14 months leading up to his trade. It's amazing that Islander fans don't see a guy telling the entire league to make him an offer for 14 months as something that can diminish a player's value, whereas a guy complaining while he produces leading scoring numbers when used in the proper role hurt his value. This is an amazing dissection of reality. And to add to it, they'll overlook a statement like "Nino was a wasted opportunity as a elite level draft pick earned by ruining an entire season of the career of John Tavares," and instead focus on the value added of a Clutterbuck even though the Islanders fourth line is probably their most complete and least in need of help. Maybe Nino should have helped return that elusive second line center that's been lacking for what, 5 years now?
Die hard fans dissect trades to fit their world views. Identical moves that are bad for others are good moves by their home team. Good moves by others, like acquiring talent, would be bad moves for us because it may hurt someone's feelings. Losing obviously doesn't hurt players feelings, somehow. These fans will change their own views and positions based on what the team does, even as it contradicts what they were saying just 5 minutes ago. It's really a thing at which to marvel.
And what's worse, those lifers ATTACK fans who demand excellence from their own rooting interests. The writers of this blog, as well as those who post similar opinions on twitter, Islander Mania, HF boards, and comment on Islanders Point Blank have been called trolls, overly negative, naysayers, and the worst insult of all- Ranger fans. Why? Because we ask questions like "Wow is losing a first round playoff series any different than what Snow was out to avoid doing when he started his rebuild 7 years ago?" or "How is being shut out for 33% of your playoff experience a good thing?" or "Why is every move made in the offseason good, as well as every move not made?" or "Why aren't you demanding a star player next to Tavares? Didn't you learn from Alexei Yashin passing to Jon Sim on his wing?" Yes, these are the questions that make us not fans. And that's why it's impossible to take diehards seriously.
No one can doubt that these people are absolutely committed to the Islanders. Unfortunately, committed is a term often associated with mental patients. And so we ask this, loyal Islander fans: be loyal to the insignia and players, not the buffoonery that operates the organization. John Tavares deserves your loyalty for his effort and leadership. The guy sticking the "wing of the month" next to him does not. Travis Hamonic deserves your loyalty for leaving blood on the ice. The guy who hasn't been able to draft a better partner for him in the last 8 NHL drafts does not. Ticket buying fans save franchises, owners who are looking for land deals and move a team to the most populous and lucrative market available years before a lease ends do not. Stop trying to draw crooked lines to justify the fact that this franchise had one chance of almost playing for a Stanley Cup since they lost to Edmonton in the mid 1980′s. Stop trying to explain away the fact that it's been 20 years since this team won a playoff series in that same aforementioned run. We understand that there have been several owners, coaches and general managers. This is a franchise and whoever is in charge of said franchise is accountable for continuing success or improving for future success. If you're a true fan, you can start by demanding answers from the leadership to these questions:
- If you claim to have no financial restrictions, then why has this team refused to spend on any decent second line center to help out John Tavares?
- Why haven't we won a playoff series in over a generation? Why is no one held accountable in the front office for such?
- Why is your draft record similar to Mike Milbury yet you're still employed as a general manager?
- How is it that after playing alongside Yashin and seeing his struggles with sustaining offense are you doing the exact same thing to John Tavares regarding a wing?
- Why aren't you trading roster players? This isn't exactly a perennial playoff contender?
- Why are you afraid to promote your elite draft picks into positions they're expected to fill? How can your last 6 first round draft picks be 5 minor leaguers and one traded for a 4th liner?
- After posting zero goals in six playoff games, why are you in a rush to lock up Josh Bailey to a long term contract?
- Why did you pass on Cam Folwer and have drafted 14 defensemen since?
- Do you really have confidence in Jack Capuano? What gives you reason to specifically?
- Do you look at your team depth chart before making "moves"? If so, why did you resign Eric Boulton to make a move for Cal Clutterbuck and sign Peter Regin? Regin is obviously a replacement for jettisoned David Ulstrom and Jesse Joenseu as a 13th forward and Clutterbuck certainly isn't going to sit since he should be an asset, injury permitting of course.
- You have been quoted as saying that you see Frans Nielsen being most effective as a third line center. If this is the case, why do you refuse to get a second line center and continue to slot Frans there?
That's just a starting point- you can add your own thoughts. And these things have to be asked by a fan, as any media outlet covering this team is so scared of having credentials revoked (the Botta Clause) that they lob softball questions without any substance so that they can get the free hot dogs in the press room. It's embarrassing to see what some sports writers present as journalism. It reads more like the back of a hockey card written by an 8th grader. Islander fans, enough with the gerrymandering of reality- in the end, all it does is enable the team to dish you a big fat plate of more of the same.

Im a die hard but that doesnt mean Im satisfied with being a perennial loser. A die hard fan is someone who chooses to follow a team and sticks with them through thick & thin.
Fans cant do anything about the way the team is run. We can only root for the guys on the ice. This article is ridiculous
great Post I am a huge WWE supporter from Ururaguay
I agree with RobJ74, this post is ridiculous. First of all, I don't think gerrymandering is the term that accurately describes what you're complaining about. Us diehards aren't in any particular area, district or town, certainly not one drawn by the Islanders. Presumably most of us live in Nassau County but that's based on proximity to the coliseum. I believe the term "partisan" would be more correct in describing what offends you about diehards. Secondly, you make a sweeping judgment about all diehard Islander fans irrationally supporting everything the organization does based, apparently, on a few people who commented on articles and "attacked" your opinion. How many of these people can there be five? Ten? There are thousands of us diehards so please don't judge us by the comments of less than one percent of us because we certainly do not agree with every move the Islanders make. Thirdly, you are a hypocrite using this blog to attack those of us who are committed to the team by comparing us to mental patients. That's an insult and thus an attack by your own standard.
Finally, lets look at some of your complaints/questions. At the outset I must ask, why should we give your opinions any more weight than our own or those of the Islanders organization? Are you a GM or scout or other talent evaluator? While you have every right to question moves made or not made, we also have the right to reach our own opinions and if they happen to conflict with yours that does not mean we are attacking you or are guilty of "homerism" or partisanship. Maybe we just disagree, it happens.
So you complain about not getting Bobby Ryan for Bailey, Nino and our 1st this year. How do you know Garth didn't make this offer or a similar one and it was rejected? Like most teams, the Isles do not publicize every trade offer. Sometimes that can have a negative effect on the guys in the offer. And while I would have made the trade you propose, I dont think it would be irrational for someone to prefer to keep Bailey, Nino and Ryan Pulock who all still may have significant upside. In the post you refer to one of our former first round picks being traded for a fourth liner. I presume you are referring to Nino for Clutterbuck. You left out the draft pick so I guess that is worthless. Clutterbuck will not be a 4th liner, he will be a third liner at least. Did you notice that Garth just signed Thomas Hickey to a two year deal on the cheap? Hickey was the #4 overall pick in 2007. The Kings got nothing for him. That says more about the Kings blueline than Hickey's ability but surely the Kings GM must be a buffoon for not getting anything for him right? It happens. No one believes Garth is perfect. We all would have liked to get more for Nino. Hell we would have liked to see him become a star for the Isles. Unfortunately it didn't work out. Us diehards would like to believe that Garth did the best he could under the circumstances. Do you have to like it? No. Shall we sulk about it all summer? No. Are we excited to see Clutterbuck and Martin smash every Ranger into the boards? Damn right!!
I don't think I have the space to address all of your complaints but here are my general thoughts:
Obviously there are financial restrictions on the team. According to all reports Wang is losing millions every season. I can't blame the man for not throwing good money after bad. He ain't making any money until he gets out of the lease at the coliseum. So he ain't spending until Brooklyn (didn't the Beasties write No Spending Till Brooklyn!!). If he doesn't spend when they get to Brooklyn then I'll join in the Sell the Team chant. But right now I see them spending on young players they develop. I like that. As far as a second line center or JT right wing, it would appear that the team hopes Strome can fill one of those roles and if its at right wing then the hope is that Brock Nelson will become the second line center.
What you don't seem to realize is that the Islanders have committed to a rebuild through the draft. They will not trade prospects for players other teams don't want or cant afford. They would rather see if Anders Lee can become a big scoring wing than taking on Horton or Clarkson for ridiculous amounts of money with significant injury histories. They would rather try to develop a big physical defenseman like Reinhart or Mayfield or Pedan than pay a fortune for Weber or Suter. You can disagree with that strategy all you want. Its not your money and you've got nothing to lose as an armchair GM. But many of us diehards go back to the 80s and we remember how those teams were built through good drafting and a few shrewd trades. We like how this team is coming along and playing with energy and tenacity and physicality. We see them getting better and we want to watch them go all the way. If these prospects pan out then Garth will probably make a few trades for impact players down the road. You seem to want to trade them away now without giving them a chance to develop. Maybe they will be better than anybody you can trade for. Who knows but we diehards follow their progress and most professional evaluators agree that the Isles have one of the best group of prospects in the NHL. Coupled with some brilliant bargain basement pickups like Moulson, Grabner and Hickey, the Isles talent evaluators have earned our trust more than you have.
I know rebuilding thru the draft is not popular in today's I Want It NOW world but some of us are still gonna be diehards and keep our rose colored glasses because we love the team and hope for the best. If you want flashy trades and big signings you can always root for the Flyers or Rangers. Those moves don't seem to get teams anywhere yet people keep clamoring for more of the same. Us diehards have been here for years and we'll be here for years to come. We can wait a few years to watch this team develop. And when they win the Cup it really will be that much sweeter for having gone through the down years and investing ourselves in the team during this rebuild, watching our favorite players blossom into stars. You and the rest of the "moderate" fans are free to jump ship at any time. Us diehards don't really care what you do. In fact, if you keep telling us what we should and shouldn't like about the team then we'd really rather not have you around.
Evidently understanding the OPs blog readers will resonate with the above as it is correct so its nice seeing a poster that's showing it online to see
Interestingly going through the above article everyone will accept it because it is valid and it's nice spotting an op that's blogging this for all to consider
