Life is a game, I write to you as a fellow player...
Life is a game that comprises many other games: reality, society, culture, community, family, and so on. The prioritization of these games depends on the individual. The exception to the rule is that we all, by being born, by being human, have signed an agreement with reality; an agreement we may forget about in time, but are bound to; an agreement to keep ourselves alive. BUT, the 'board', per-say, of society's game -- the construct -- has gotten bigger than reality's board. More than half our planet's people live in cities, they say; a perfect example. And so, to -- now we're gettin' real deep with this metaphor -- make a move in the game of reality, let's say, find permanent shelter; you can't just go out into the woods and build a friggin' cabin, because that's illegal and in time you'll get yourself arrested. So in order to lock down permanent, secure shelter, you've got to do what? Pay for it, and to pay for it, you've got to get your hands on some money. Now you can either earn it or steal it; but either way it's the same move in the game of reality: find permanent shelter. If you want to make sure you're shelter is secure, you don't want the cops barging in your door and arresting you for thievery or extortion or whatever you'd have to do to steal money to buy permanent shelter. Instead you decide to get a job and you earn the money to pay for secure shelter. So what I mean when I say "the board" of society is bigger than the board of reality is that you can't just go out into the woods and sustain yourself. Eventually, people will find you and tell you to leave, and if you don't listen to those people, eventually they will come with guns and threaten you and you will have to leave -- all because human excess has diminished our capability to appreciate nature, and to use natural resources effectively and efficiently. We are on the wrong course.

Jan 23 2013: Good points.Jan 4 2013: I agree with everything I understand in your offering, but I disagree with your implied condemnation of the race. You wouldn't define your son by his negative characteristics would you? So why are you so keen to condemn humanity because they didn't get it right the first time. We may all be doomed to being the wretched survivors of the colllapse of our global civilization....but maybe not. Forget all the buildings and monuments and institutions, forget all the culture and science; It's the ideas that will remain. All but two, religion and money. Wishful thinking? About money, yes but religion is dead if the balloon goes up unless jesus, or the last immam check in to watch the show. Humanity has faced greater obstacles than this turmoil amongst ourselves. Tragedy unifies humanity and a unified humanity is a mighty thing indeed.Jan 15 2013: As a fellow player, I see what you mean. Indeed there will be no more space for nature if we keeping going with the same strategy. But we can change the game, we can interconnect with nature. There was a TED talk were a British architecture had a building with trees growing on the side of it. Everything in this game always comes full circle. Come out of nowhere and going back in to nothingness. Coming out of the bushes and letting them become apart of us. I know it doesn't seem like it now, but you can't go against how the world works. There are rules to this game yu know.

Jan 6 2013: As a fellow player, just trying to put my observation as on the game(have no idea how good i am in that).First of all, the root of game as i see it is the reason to define/ perceive life consciously has led to this perspective of visualizing life in the terms of a game. You have mentioned prioritization of the game depends on individual. listing of options(sub games of life) is the step prior to setting priority.I kind of believe this is where the game of life takes shape as an interrelated entity among several options/ games that the conscious self can predict.

I some how didnt feel convinced with the idea of a signed agreement with reality. With reality being a part of the bigger game of life as what understood from what i read, Still thinking the existence/ need /reason for such an agreement.(may be will come back on it later)
Coming into the part of making a move in the game of reality, as the game is individualistic as i see it. The options to make a move is wide open as long as the individual is willing to explore things with different perspective. I honestly believe the world is too big. I prefer to refine the move of permanent shelter to finding a shelter. As i honestly have no definition for what is permanent.
An individual goes to the woods looking for a shelter assuming that he has adapted and survived till he is found and asked to leave. The way i see the relation between society and reality is created by how the rules of the game are defined by the individual. If its just the shelter that the individual is looking for then he can always move on. The world is so big to live a nomadic life till the individual wants it to be that way.
In reality there are numerous ways in which you can continue to live in the woods, say for example by giving voice for the conservation of nature, one can come across like minded people people who work in woods. This is one such way, its the way one chooses to play that defines the game and its relation.

Jan 5 2013: I think society is a very powerful illusion with very real incentives and punishments that directly affect the human condition. You cannot grab an axe (in MOST places), retreat into the woods and build a cabin. A lot of America's woodlands are conserved. And why is that? Why do we feel the need to fence in little caches of nature? Because we know ourselves, our past, and this mutant vehicle of progress we ride well enough to see that we have destroyed it before, and surely will again unchecked. So we check ourselves. Overpopulation is the biggest problem, and there's nothing we can do about it. The economy of life on our planet is becoming way out of whack, and we forget that it all comes from nature. If man kills the wolf and the deer thrive, eating the mountain away, they will be left with nothing and die too. And then the mountain will be bare and void of life, and we will have nothing to take from it. And we will die. The game of reality is what destroys minds. Its what would make men with guns come after me after I moved into the forest and call me a squatter. In the game of reality, I could kill them and protect my territory, but this would be a crime, and in the game of reality, more men with more guns would come and call me a murderer, and these men would grab me and throw me in a small concrete room with metal bars. But in the game of society, I squatted (which is against the law), killed two police officers, and then went to jail. But there is such a disconnect between these two narratives. And most people are forced to explain and express their life through the conduit of society's game, when they're living and experiencing reality. "Society exists only as a mental concept; in the real world there are only individuals." -- Oscar Wilde

Jan 21 2013: We live in an ecosystem. There is no denying the interdependency of our world. The metals and minerals we build our toy world out of eventually can be traced back to mines. The oil that heats us and the clothes that clothe us are of this earth as well. Economics seems to be coming up a lot. Let's look at it again, this time in comparison with nutrient cycling in an ecosystem.
We all know about the cyclical flow of the economy. We all know a big part of this recessions slow recovery can be attributed to people's baseline economic ignorance that 'my spending is your income' and vice-versa. So when people, like they have been, try and do something they believe to be in their best interest: save -- in times where the entire economic engine is crippled, the entire engine starts to slow down; and that's because collectively, we can't save. We need to give back.
Now, lets look at ecosystems. It all starts with solar energy, which shines down on organisms called producers (plants) that make the nutrients they need from compounds and energy absorbed from their environment. Then, organisms called Primary Consumers (herbivores) feed off of these, where secondary consumers (carnivores) then feed off of them. There are also omnivores (like us) that eat both, and decomposers (like vultures and fungi) that feed off of waste and dead organisms, breaking things down into chemical nutrients that can again be used by producers.
Again, this is common knowledge to a lot of people; but I don't think parallels are drawn enough. In the cyclical flow of the economy, nutrients can be equated to money. Nutrients are the currency that make things work. And when we -- like we have been for a long, long time now -- think to place ourselves outside of this ecosystem nutrient cycling loop, we pave the way for its complete dismantling; and when we do that, we pave the way for our own destruction.
You cannot take without giving and expect it to go on forever. This dream is fast and distractingJan 3 2013: I'm reading Walden right now. Thoreau had so many invaluable insights about social constructs. In the last section I read, he talked about how people, by endeavoring to reside in homes worth more than themselves, end up -- in a way -- selling themselves to the house. You know, in order to have the house, you need money; in order to get money, you've got to get a job. Those two things -- house and job -- consume the lives of most people. A great deal of people in the past -- some who consider themselves martyrs of their own utilitarianism -- have spent what little freetime this life of unenjoyable excess has afforded them desperately seeking relaxation, escape and sanctuary. What we forget, though, and this is something Thoreau tells us (although not in this language), is that you can always opt out of the game of society -- as Thoreau did when he went to Walden pond with nothing but an axe and found a life bare of excessive comforts, but rich in contemplation and thought. This is the world we all ought to live in. He employs a wonderful bird metaphor. The great songbirds go about the land, collecting what they can, using their own will to construct a home; and these songbirds sing beautiful songs to us. But we -- Thoreau asserts -- are becoming cowbirds and cuckoos: laying our eggs in nests that others have built, and delighting no one with their beauty. We are the wrong course, and I do not know what to do.Jan 3 2013: "you can't just go out into the woods and sustain yourself." Um, yes you can. I know a lot of people who do. And they maintain their natural resources effectively and efficiently. You just have to know where to look.
And it's not human excess that is the problem, it is human greed.
Jan 3 2013: Just out of curiosity, Linda, where in general do you live that you know many people who have gone into the woods and sustained themselves? What kind of living conditions have they set up? Is it a case were they are ready to move at a moment's notice, because it seems like sometimes people do come along and tell you to move.
I ask because I sometimes dream of doing this too, but I don't know how you'd do it here in Southern California.
Jan 3 2013: You can't do it in southern California. But there are a few pockets of the US where it can still be done. You can definitely accomplish this in third world countries. It is really, really hard and I do not recommend it. It might sound romantic to hunt and fish for your own food, but hunger is real if the hunt was not successful.Jan 3 2013: But what you need to understand is that one of the biggest reasons that this has happened is because society has become foremost, it has spilled over into uninvited lands it has no business in. Humans, I think, are meant to live in a confluence of man and nature. Our current course destroys these places. Cities are rich in man but poor in nature; national parks are rich in nature but poor in man. I certainly don't have all the answers, but I think we've got to move towards a society that raises self-sufficient individuals. We need to live with nature. It isn't really a choice, either, it's a matter of how big we want the isolating boxes we build to be. The bigger the boxes, the less we will grow up to understand the key to our fate: nature.
Linda Taylor
Jan 4 2013: No, society is not foremost. The individual is foremost and has created society (at least in the US) to meet the needs and desires of the individual. Like I said greed.
- +1
We used to live in harmony with nature a mere two hundred years ago. It was the break up of that society into the society of the individual that caused the disharmony. I want, I need, land, space, food resources electricity yada yada. If you have it, I can take it from you manifest destiny etc.
I would be happy if we could just move towards a society where people actually worked instead of live off the resources of others...
Watch Thoreau, he was a dreamer not a realist. He ALWAYS went back to the city.
Jan 4 2013: One of the great untold stories is that many hunter-gatherer tribes have lived unchanged since the agricultural revolution. These folks were around long before civilization, and I believe will be around long after us.
He did, yes, but only because the construct of society has become so large that it's a game you 'can't' opt out of. You need more than yourself to live in the wild; but to live in the wild with a tribe? That is the paragon. If Thoreau had found his tribe of axe-wielding dreamers, they would have gone out into the world to make their way, but everyone is too captivated by the tinsel of worldly success. We don't need to learn how to make more; we need to learn how to need less.Jan 3 2013: We certainly ARE on the wrong course.
Did you know that in my town (in South Carolina), it is illegal to feed a homeless person? It's not illegal to feed a homeless cat or the birds. Just humans. But people here in this fundamentalist christian part of the world, do not see the cruelty. They don't even see the contradiction between their religion and their actions.
I disagree that it is human excess that has caused our problems. I believe that it is fear that stems from a culture based on principles of scarcity.
Jan 4 2013: The very study of this scarcity that is the source of your ignorance. If you know something you will not be effect of it.
Jan 4 2013: The study of scarcity is the source of ignorance? How ignorant. Knowledge is not ignorance. Learning does not lead to ignorance. Learning leads to knowledge.
I understand that my post offended you because you are an extremely fundamentalist Christian. But if you are a real christian, you will not judge me so harshly, because Jesus said "Judge not" and as you judge others, you shall be judged"
Jan 4 2013: The very definition of economics is the study of scarce resources that have alternative uses. This is fundamental to the "malady" you describe.Jan 4 2013: You're not quite right there, Pat. The definition of economics is resource management. A study of economics involves more than just a study of our current fiscal paradigm. Ours is scarcity-based. There are abundance-based models, but those models do not use money (and i do not mean that money is replaced by barter - though that is another model)
One cannot undertake a study of economics by studying only that which is here today. That would only be a study of that which is here today.
Jan 4 2013: The definition of economics IS the study of scarce resources that have alternative uses PERIOD.
Happy New Year TED LoverJan 4 2013: economics plural of ec·o·nom·ics (Noun)
1) The branch of knowledge concerned with the production, consumption, and transfer of wealth. (this definition pertains to the study of our fiscal paradigm)
2) The condition of a region or group as regards material prosperity. (Core principle)
Economics is derived from economy
[ih-kon-uh-mee] noun, plural e·con·o·mies, adjective, adverb.
noun: 5) the disposition or regulation of the parts or functions of any organic whole; an organized system or method. (The previous 4 definitions realate to our fiscal model only)
When one economizes, one conserves.
Protect from harm or destruction.
Our fiscal model certainly doesn't protect from harm. It is the cause of MUCH harm, and when the fiscal sh*t hits the fan, that will be patently obvious to all.
I have not found an authoritative definition of economics that matches your description. PERIOD.
Jan 4 2013: TL
You learned me some stuff about the constitution. I'm just trying to learn you some stuff about economics. But you have your preconceived notions that prevent you from hearing me.
"A distinguished British economist named Lionel Robbins gave the classic definition of economics:
Economics is the study of the use of scarce resources which have alternative uses.
What does "scarce" mean? It means that people want more than there is. This may seem like a simple thing, but its implications are often grossly misunderstood, even by highly educated people. "
From here:
http://cafehayek.com/2006/05/sowell_on_scarc.htmlJan 4 2013: Anyone who uses that definition is speaking of our current fiscal paradigm. Context is everything. Our current fiscal paradigm IS a scarcity-based paradigm, therefore the study of it is the study of managing scarcity.
But if you look outside of that narrow frame of reference, you will see that scarcity-based economics is not the only economics that there are. Perhaps your preconceived notions are preventing you from hearing me.
Jan 5 2013: In this universe the only economics is as defined.
The preconceived notions I have stem from the physical universe.
You appear to enjoy being esoteric? Do your ideas stem from the Venus Project or the Secret of OZ?Jan 4 2013: Pat, I know you and TED Lover don't need my intrusion in this, but I think that the Wikipedia entry for Economics gives a pretty good picture of the matters the discipline of economics tends to address. The definitions part of the article gives only the sort of superficial idea that doesn't take you far, much as standard dictionary definitions tend to capture colloquial use of a word better than the sense in which words are used in a discipline or scholarship, but the balance of the article puts some meat on the matter.
Jan 5 2013: Sorry Fritzie I would have to disagree mainly on the intention of the article. Any economic text should intend to bring about understanding of the subject of economics, this article does not in fact it creates more confusion. You could hardly blame them though as bogus information about economics out numbers true information by 8 to 2 in my estimation.
The article does not even mention Hayak or the Austrian School of economics, sorry but in my best Spicoli voice that is bogus.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8BODTA3Kn8Jan 5 2013: My flagging the article was not for its details or its comprehensiveness but rather for its giving an overview of the questions economics tends to address.
I proposed it as an alternative to addressing the question with the sort of "sound bites" dictionaries provide. A dictionary is not an encyclopedia entry, and an encyclopedia entry is not a textbook. A textbook is not a discipline.
I don't think a short set of words tends to capture a discipline. Disputes over which short set of words is best may distract people from the level of inquiry it takes actually to understand what people interested in this field think about.
I have no doubt that you know what sorts of questions different scholars and practictioners ask, even if you find some models far more compelling than others. We decide which models seem most realistic, typically, not by looking only at one but by comparing models for their value.
Jan 5 2013: I hear you Fritzie
However I think Ted Lover has a preconceived notion that makes her dismiss any ideas contrary to her notion.
IMO education has to be focused on application if it is not it is not education. With the most perfunctory test much of the economic verbiage can be dismissed quite easily. EG starting the the very definition of economics that alligns so many subordinate datums as with any true hierarchy of knowledge.Jan 5 2013: Pat: No.my ideas stem from an exhaustive study of economics and the history of moneyJan 5 2013: Pat:
Please permit me to explain where I am coming from in this discussion.
When Einstein looked at the numbers in physics, they didn't make sense. Educated people were forcing numbers into formulas causing predictions to be in error (planetary motions). He re-thought the entire notion of how reality works and in the twinkling of an eye, he understood what is missing. Time!
A minute on the equator or on Mt. Everest is shorter than a minute at sea level at the north pole. His answer to this prediction changed how we look at our world today. (It was proven in the 40s). The fundamental change in understanding is ultimately responsible for many of our most appreciated inventions.
I am not saying that I'm an Einstein, however I have looked at the numbers that cause both of us such outrage (the FACTS of the national debt and a fiscal system that takes self-responsibility away from people and teaches them learned helplessness while fostering poverty for an increasing number relative to the wealth of a fewer number - & taking away fiscal mobility). As learning is my hobby, I added more information (largely from quantum mechanics) to the numbers and came up with a theory that should end most social ills.
I am convinced that our fiscal paradigm is unworkable & unsustainable. It causes too much unnecessary hardship and strife. Rather than try to force it to work, I have reinvisioned society so that it will naturally work in harmony - just as Einsteiin reinvisioned physics. Many don't like my ideas, but then many were offended by Einstein's work - because they didn't understand it. Even Einstein didn't like parts of his own theories, but the math was indisputable and facts are facts.
I'm not one of the "love it or leave it" types. I'm about "love it or make it better".
The facts say that our fiscal paradigm is broken, unsustainable, and cruel. So I stand behind a different fiscal model. One that doesn't heap penalties on those made vulnerable by it.
Jan 5 2013: Where is the explanation of an economy that exists without scarcity?
The current system is broken because of debt, no mystery about it, except of course the capacity for indifference.Jan 3 2013: In fact society is a community of primates as a group at a large scale. With Chimps there's one that sets the rules by which every member has to play. That principle isn't different with human beings.

Piaget makes the moon the star of this new complication, housed inside a generous case measuring 46.5 mm in diameter. Unique in its composition vividly evoking moon craters, this display presents the lunar phases thanks to a mask system symbolizing the dance of the sun and the earth, and is endowed with a level of precision resulting in a mere one-day difference in 122 years – which explains why this moon-phase indication is referred to as "astronomical". It lights up an extremely pure, two-tone dial bearing applied gold hour markers tapering towards the center.
860P movement
The 860P movement is a variation of the 800P movement and has retained its double barrel. It is a automatic mechanical movement with a large astronomical moon. Positioned at 6 o'clock on the dial, it displays the moon phases in a large aperture of 12 mm – a clear Piaget design preference by the watchmaker. Controlled by an extremely fine gear train, it will lose or gain only one day in 122 years. A wheel of 135 teeth drives the rotation of the moon mask which, as the name suggests, hides and reveals a second disc symbolizing the moon. Created entirely in gold, this pellet was boiled then cooled to better represent the surface of the moon with all its craters, so that each moon used in the movements is unique. Circular Côtes de Genève, a circular-grained mainplate, beveled bridges, blued screws and an oscillating weight engraved with the Piaget coat-of-arms add the finishing touches to this movement and are reminders of the Swiss watchmaking brand's high esthetic values.

EU presses Germany to ensure that Daimler vehicles use HFO-1234yf refrigerant
11:23 AM MST | January 24, 2014 | Ian Young
The European Commission is putting pressure on the German authorities to ensure that Germany enforces the commission's mobile air condition systems (MAC) directive, which requires that air conditioning systems of new types of vehicle be filled with a refrigerant that has a low global warming potential (GWP). The commission sent a letter of formal notice on 23 January to the German authorities, encouraging them to apply the MAC directive fully to vehicles produced by Daimler, which the commission says are infringing the directive. The MAC directive became fully...

When You Are Away from Home......Prevent Burglaries
A vacant house — or one that appears to be vacant — is an appealing target to a burglar. This is true during the work day when everyone may be at work or school, or during a vacation, a weekend away from home, or a business trip. You can alleviate day-to-day worries and make a trip more carefree if you will take a few simple steps to reduce the possibility that your house will be burglarized or vandalized while you are gone. A vacant house — or one that appears to be vacant — is an appealing target to a burglar.
Although you should always be aware of leaving windows and doors closed and locked whenever you will be out of the home, there are a number of things to consider when you're going to be away for a weekend or longer.
To help you remember, carry this list with you as you prepare to leave, and check off each item as you do it.
Returning to a home that has been broken into is an unpleasant finish to any trip. Never give a burglar an even break.
At least one day before you leave
Move all ladders, tools, lawn implements, garbage cans and yard furniture to your garage, basement or storage shed.
On the day you leave

Men's Tennis Named ITA All-Academic Team
Thursday, July 18, 2002Johnson City, Tenn. (July 18, 2002) - East Tennessee State's men's tennis team has been named an Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) All-Academic Team for the spring 2002 season. The award is open to any ITA program, NCAA or NAIA, that has a cumulative team grade point average of 3.20 or above (on a 4.00 scale). Six Buccaneer players had GPA's of over 3.60 - Marcos Pavlovich (Otamendi, Argentina), Roberto Fernandez (Cuernavaca, Mexico), Francisco Diaz (Weston, Fla.), Diego Iglesias (Mar del Plata, Argentina), Moises Serrano (Bucaramanga, Colombia) and Federico Ochoa (Manizales, Colombia). "I'm very proud of what our players accomplished this year," head coach Dave Mullins said. "The fact that they performed so outstanding in the classroom while winning a Southern Conference championship and playing in the NCAA's speaks about their dedication to excellence in all areas." Under Mullins ETSU advanced to its second-ever NCAA Tournament after winning its sixth Southern Conference championship. The Buccaneers posted a 9-1 record in the SoCon and 17-8 mark overall and were ranked 68th in NCAA Division I by the ITA before being ousted by 13th ranked Auburn in the NCAA Tournament.

It's not THAT Shades of Grey, but a new online sitcom bearing a similar name — about the ups and downs of interracial relationships — is currently being filmed throughout Herndon.
"We came up with the name almost a year ago, before the book 'Fifty Shades of Grey' became so wildly popular," said sitcom co-writer and co-director Yvette Saunders. "Our Shades of Gray has nothing to do with the book. It is about the keys to lasting relationships and about the challenges of bi-racial dating."
Saunders, an African American, and her caucasian husband Michael Herl, both of Herndon, are the real-life inspiration for the new series which hopes to debut its first 20-minute episode on Youtube.com on Valentine's Day.
"We met through Yahoo personals in 2005 after I moved here from Arizona," recalls Herl. "This March we will have been married for five years. This series is our story. It's a situation comedy set in the town of Herndon about a bi-racial couple that meets online and ultimately gets married. It looks at relationships through various lenses; male vs. female, black vs. white, young vs. old, etc., using flash backs of the two main characters. "
Herl and Saunders' production company, NICMIC, Inc. plans to shoot seven episodes of the series, which Herl estimates cost about $2,000 each. "We are not a one-episode wonder. We are in this for the long haul," he said.
The series uses local professional actors as well as professional makeup and film crews.
Herl, a government contractor by day, said it has always been a dream of his to make movies.
About a year ago he decided to write the script to Shades of Gray. "It is primarily about relationships, cultural differences and the male/female dynamic," he said.
The series is based entirely in Herndon and takes place at several popular Herndon locales.
"This is where it all really happened, so we want to promote Herndon as well as local actors and even local musicians for the production," Herl said.
On Jan. 26, Herl and Saunders directed a scene for the series' second episode at Worldgate Centre Theatre in Herndon, where the real-life couple went on a date to the movies for the first time.
Reston actress Laura Muschelli, 25, a South Lakes High School graduate, plays Saunders' best friend, Hira. "I think this is a great idea," she said. "I am really enjoying shooting this series locally."
Herl and Saunders will air the entire series online on YouTube but hope eventually to be able to sell it, potentially to a television studio.
"The future of all content delivery is on the web, and we plan to take advantage of that," said Herl. "The future is now."
NicMic, Inc. will advertise via social media, using Facebook, Twitter, Tumble, Reddit and other social media sites to drive people to their content online. "We want to produce enough episodes, about two seasons worth, to allow people to fall in love with these characters," Saunders said. "We hope to retain creative control of them and have them portrayed by the original cast. In the end, this series is about us, so I don't think anyone can tell our story better."

Sherwood High School senior Kevin Pham takes a lot of ribbing from classmates, but that doesn't stop him from knitting.
Pham and Henrietta Biayemi are the cofounders of Knitting 4 Humanity, a new service club at the school.
One of Biayemi's motivations for starting the club was that she wanted Sherwood to be recognized for something other than football.
"There are students, in the shadows of the bleachers, really trying to make a difference," she said.
Biayemi took up knitting about four years ago, after shopping at a Michaels craft store. She saw people buying yarn and didn't know what they were using it for. When she asked, she learned that the store was offering a knitting class.
"I fell in love with knitting, and have been doing it ever since," Biayemi said.
She began knitting at school. Soon, a lot of her friends, including Pham, asked her what she was doing and if she would teach them.
That sparked the idea of forming a club at the beginning of the school year. English teacher Maureen Meushaw agreed to serve as their sponsor.
"A couple of years ago I had tried to start a lunch knitting group, but that never took off," Meushaw said. "I think that Henrietta, and that direct student involvement, was missing."
Many of the club members are new knitters.
"Knitting is a lifetime skill and I am very proud of them," Meushaw said.
Pham suggested they make scarves to donate. After doing research, the pair decided to partner with Knit With Love, an organization that sends scarves to third-world and war-stricken countries.
Pham and Biayemi say that while they have both made new friendships through knitting, the club is often the butt of jokes. They are most often asked, "What do you do, knit socks?"
"I get a lot of grief," Pham said. "Especially from my family."
Pham, who is also involved in student government and Sherwood's popular musical production Rock 'n' Roll Revival, said he enjoys participating in a variety of things.
"I guess I'm not the typical high-schooler," he said. "I am really involved in a lot of different aspects, and like to try new things whenever I can."
There are about 15 members in the club, including Pham and one other boy, Eshan Nanda.
"I recruited, or forced him to join," said Pham.
Senior Matta Sannoh said she already knew how to knit, but hadn't done it in a while.
"I saw Henrietta doing it, so I picked it back up and joined the club," she said. "I like that it is a hobby and a stress reliever, but also that it actually helps other people."
Megan Lim, also a senior, did not know how to knit before she joined the club.
"They taught me, and now I think it is really fun," she said. "It's a good feeling to do something like this for a charity."
The group, most of whom were friends before joining the club, usually meets twice a month during lunch period, but many knitters work on their projects at home.
The club has no funding, so supplies have come out of Meushaw's pocket or have been donated by her friends. They are hoping to organize a fundraiser to help offset the costs.
Since September, the group has completed 21 scarves, which will soon be sent to Knit With Love. They hope to send another shipment at the end of the school year.
Biayemi said she hopes to boost the club from its "underdog" status, where it gets little respect.
"Even though the other students gawk and make jokes about the club, I want to thank and acknowledge the hard work all the members put in, despite the peer pressure," she said.
Meushaw agreed.
"It's great when the positive things that the students do get recognition," she said.

The real estate company that owns Calvert Village Shopping Center announced it has finalized plans with TJ Maxx to become the newest tenant — anticipated to open in fall 2014.
On Monday afternoon, Howard Biel, vice president of ECHO Real Estate Services, said the company has finalized agreements with TJ Maxx for the company to become the newest tenant at Calvert Village Shopping Center in Prince Frederick.
"We're delighted to have them come in," Biel said, adding that the company thinks the store will do "very well" in the location.
For the redevelopment, Biel said, the breezeway area and the immediately surrounding area of Calvert Village will be demolished. He said the company anticipates the demolition to be completed by the end of this year and the new construction to begin as late as Jan. 1, 2014. The leases for the affected businesses that are currently in Calvert Village permit the company to terminate a lease "if we gave them sufficient time" to find a new location, Biel said earlier this month.
Right now, ECHO Real Estate and TJ Maxx are working on development and engineering plans for the storefront, Biel said Monday.
"Hopefully," TJ Maxx will be open by the 2014 holiday season, Biel said, explaining that the holiday season means "pre-Thanksgiving."
Earlier this month, Biel said the company knew it wanted to redevelop the area and put in another major store to help balance the shopping center, which currently houses a Safeway grocery store. ECHO Real Estate Services bought the shopping center in late 2012.
"We're very pleased that this is moving ahead very nicely," Biel said.
There are several other changes also coming to the shopping center, Biel said Monday.
The real estate company has signed a lease with a new Hallmark franchise, which will be located in the same location as the previous Hallmark store. A lease has also been signed with Olympia Sports, which will be located at Educate and Celebrate's current location.
Both of these sites, Biel said, will undergo construction before the tenants move in and the stores open for this upcoming holiday season.
Between Family Dollar and TJ Maxx, there will be room for three stores, Biel said, adding that two of those storefronts are relocations — Angel Nails and Bayshore Eyecare. The original plans were reconfigured a little, Biel said, "to accommodate some of the others" who were going to be affected by the redevelopment.
Beyond TJ Maxx, in the 3,000-square-foot space, Biel said, the real estate company is looking at a "restaurant concept."
Overall, the redesign of Calvert Village Shopping Center displaces five stores, Biel said, including Carrington Formal Wear, Pizza Oven, a catering service and a barber shop.
Pizza Oven, which has been located at the shopping center for the past 38 years, doesn't have any set plans on relocating, said current owner Karen Vendemia.
Vendemia, 60, said her uncle and her father both owned Pizza Ovens in the area and that she's worked at a Pizza Oven since she was 11 years old. About 20 years ago, she said she took over the Pizza Oven her uncle owned in Calvert Village Shopping Center.
Although Vendemia expressed that she and her family are upset about leaving the business' current location, there aren't any set plans to relocate the business. She explained that any plans for the future of Pizza Oven are being left to her daughter, Stacy, who Vendemia said runs the existing business.
"She's looking. She's kind of narrowed it down," Vendemia said of her daughter's search for a new location.
Two of the other displaced stores – the barbershop and Carrington Formal Wear – have been able to relocate with help from Calvert County Department of Economic Development, Biel said.

Women's tennis falls at Virginia Tech
Sunday, March 13, 2011
BLACKSBURG, Va. (Mar. 13, 2011) - The ETSU women's tennis team wrapped a long three-match weekend with a 7-0 loss to Virginia Tech, Sunday afternoon at the Burrows-Burleson Tennis Center.
With the victory, Virginia Tech moves to 9-6 on the season, while ETSU drops to 6-6 on the year. The Hokies were the second ACC team that the Bucs have faced this season, after taking on nationally ranked Wake Forest earlier in the year. The loss also snaps a four-match winning streak for the Bucs.
"Overall today was a disappointing day," said ETSU assistant coach Travis Sandlant. "As a team we had a huge opportunity to win, but we did not show up to play and compete at all. Unfortunately it seemed like we lacked the belief to win and did not live up to our true potential."
The Hokies took a quick 1-0 lead after winning the doubles point. Virginia Tech took won the first two matches at the No. 3 and No. 2 positions to take the point. However, the Bucs did get a victory at the No. 1 position as Paula Jaime (Madrid, Spain) and Karina Kedzo (Puerto Ordaz, Venezuela) defeated Yasmin Hamza and Holly Johnson, 8-5.
In singles play, the Hokies gained control early on and maintained their strong play as they won all six singles matches. Virginia Tech won four of the six matches in straight sets. Andra Voinea (Brasov, Romania) won the first set against Isel Martinez-Marcos, 6-4, but Martinez-Marcos rallied to take the next two sets to pick up the victory.
The closest match of the day may have been at the No. 3 position as ETSU's Marine Wieliczko (Rouen, France) and Virginia Tech's Tea Ivanovic each won a set to force a tiebreaker. Ivanovic won a tight tiebreaker, 10-7, to pick up the victory.
The Bucs hit the road on Friday, Mar. 18 and Saturday, Mar. 19 when they travel to Campbell and USC Upstate in Atlantic Sun action. The Bucs take on Campbell on Friday at 2 p.m. before taking on USC Upstate on Sunday at 2 p.m.

Hundreds packed a Southern Community Center room Tuesday night in Lusby to once again hear presentations about Dominion's proposed liquefied natural gas export project at its Cove Point terminal.
The Cove of Calvert, Cove Point Beach, Cove Lake and Hidden Treasures homeowners' associations sponsored the meeting.
During several presentations, speakers tried to thwart efforts by others to discredit their presentations and information presented by environmental advocacy group Chesapeake Climate Action Network, which launched a campaign against Dominion Cove Point's proposed project.
"There is a campaign by some to discredit the Chesapeake Climate Action Network, to discredit anyone who dares ask for an [environmental impact statement], myself included," said Jean Marie Neal, a Cove of Calvert resident who has been very outspoken on the issue. "There's been a lot of twisting of what some of us have said and some people haven't liked the tone or particular words. The Cove of Calvert community does not agree with CCAN on all their issues. But, we do appreciate their support of an EIS because that is our goal, too."
Proponents of the $3.8 billion project who were at the town hall meeting weren't excluded from the defamation either.
Calvert County Commissioner Gerald W. "Jerry" Clark (R) was called a liar by an audience member when he was attempting to answer a resident's question.
A resident asked Clark, Commissioners' President Pat Nutter (R) and Commissioners' Vice President Steve Weems (R), who attended the meeting, how the nearby residents will benefit from the project.
Clark said, "You know, to come here and refute what [CCAN Director] Mr. Tidwell said, I mean, I could do that. I could bring scientists, I could bring people — "
Interrupting him, attendees began shouting for Clark to do so, and one man called out declaring Clark a liar, when Clark interrupted: "I am not a liar, sir. Sir, let me tell you something. You wanna call me a liar, call me a liar. I have never called no one a liar, sir. I have been extremely — I have been extremely, extremely, extremely polite. You can call me a lot of things, sir; call me whatever you want, but don't impugn my reputation. ... You don't even know me. You don't even know me. When did you ever call me? When did you ever call me and ask me one question? You can do a lot of things in life to me, but don't call me a liar because if you're calling me a liar, you're wrong."
Neal intervened, saying that the commissioners weren't invited to the meeting to be put in such a position.
"We have tried to do this very orderly and very politely. All of us here do not agree with everything said, but let me make a suggestion. We appreciate you being here tonight, and we're not gonna put you on the spot," Neal addressed the commissioners present. "… I think it would be really good if the commissioners held … a public hearing, in which all of this could be aired and discussed, and that's what's been missing from this process and why people are so frustrated."
Clark said, "What I was trying to get at before this gentleman so rudely interrupted … you could bring people in to dispute any facts and to spin any facts any way."
To open the meeting, Tom Baranoski, president of the Cove of Calvert homeowners' association, said the meeting was being called "because we believe … that this will place a major industrial site within our communities and along Cove Point Road."
During the discussion about Dominion's project — which is still awaiting approval from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and several federal and state permitting agencies — Neal recognized that tax revenue to the county would increase and temporary construction jobs would be created.
"If you look only at the tax dollars and the construction jobs, you may think this is not a bad idea," she said. "But to do that in a vacuum is just not responsible and gives no measurement to the potential downsides and how such a project would transform the area around and on Cove Point Road, in Calvert County and with the folks for the entire state of Maryland. To do that in a vacuum gives no measurement to what local residents will feel, see and hear every day. It gives no measurement to potential negative risks to area wetlands, to our precious Chesapeake Bay, to the Patuxent, and all the revenue we derive from the resulting tourism and fishing."
Only with an environmental impact statement, she said, would those measurements be assessed.
FERC spokesperson Tamara Young-Allen said during a phone interview Wednesday that an "environmental document" is being prepared that comprises "all the criteria included under the National Environmental Policy Act." This includes the purpose and need for the project, effects on water resources, wildlife, recreational and natural areas, tree removal, increased road and marine traffic, and on nearby residences, as well as many other items, such as property values, economic benefits and public health.
Young-Allen said no date for the release of the "environmental document" has been scheduled because FERC still is analyzing information.
Once completed, there will be "many opportunities" for the public to comment, she said. The commission and FERC staff will review those comments, and a draft document will be released, followed by a final document in which the commission will make a decision on Dominion's application, Young-Allen said.
Mike Tidwell, the director of Chesapeake Climate Action Network, also presented at the meeting Tuesday night. CCAN is a nonprofit group fighting global warming in the Maryland, Virginia and Washington, D.C., area. For several months, the group has expressed opposition to Dominion's proposed project and has held several meetings on the matter in Calvert as well as a statewide tour.
Tidwell said he has received several comments and questions about why he is so involved in fighting the project when he isn't from Calvert.
"I am opposed to Cove Point," Tidwell said. "I don't think it should be built — this expansion. I think it's wrong for our state."
Solomons resident and waterman Peter Ide said, "I don't care where you're from because you're looking out for my interests and the interests of the people in this room who don't have a vested interest in this project, which I believe are the ones who were reached out to by the powers that be who are pushing this forward — pushing it down our throats with no regard for, especially, the people who live in that vicinity."
Tidwell said Dominion recently has signed a contract with Cabot Oil and Gas, a Pennsylvania natural gas company, to supply the gas that will be exported to Asia.
In April 2013, Dominion signed two, 20-year contracts with Japanese and Indian companies to use the Cove Point terminal to receive American LNG. However, Dominion's application states it will provide services to its customers to allow for the export of LNG to world markets but will not itself provide the gas or ship the LNG.
The company has signed a 20-year contract with Pacific Summit Energy LLC (the Japanese company Dominion has a contract with) for 350,000 million British Thermal Units per day of natural gas from the Marcellus Shale beginning on the in-service date of Dominion's liquefaction project, according to a Cabot Oil and Gas news release.
On Thursday morning, Cove Point LNG media/communications manager Karl Neddenien said that amount is "roughly" half the export output of Dominion's capability, which is about equal to Pacific Summit's contract with Dominion.
Another issue Tidwell brought up at the meeting, which also has been a controversial topic, was the amount of pollution the Lusby plant would expel. Tidwell said whether there will be 2 or 3 million tons of carbon dioxide entering the air, "it's still a lot." He also cited nitrogen oxide, sulfur dioxide, acid gasses and mercury as other pollutants.
On Wednesday, James Norvelle, the director of media relations with Dominion, said he isn't sure on those specifics but it's all going to be under "strict" federal and state air regulations.
"We're not going to be breaking the law here," he said.
Tidwell said during the meeting that at combustion, natural gas is cleaner than coal, but "first, you have the fracking, then you have the compressing and the pipelines and the liquefaction and the entire power plant — this is all energy-intensive lifecycle intensity that precedes the combustion."
He said if the entire process is taken into account, "then shipping natural gas in liquid form to Asia is almost certainly as bad, if not worse, than burning coal for the environment."
During Tuesday night's meeting, Neal and Tidwell said Dominion is buying "pollution credits" from other companies. Norvelle said Wednesday the company is in the process of buying pollution reduction credits because new development is required to be offset.
During the town hall meeting, several residents from the surrounding community expressed their concerns.
Mark Wentling, secretary and treasurer of the Hidden Treasures homeowners' association, said his home is about four-tenths of a mile from the proposed building spot.
"We hear the existing facility on a regular basis — just the pumps. We don't have the jet-turbine power plant up yet. We get the light pollution from this thing without even the new construction having started yet," Wentling said.
As the meeting concluded, an attendee asked if Dominion was asked to attend. Neal said the company was not, "and the reason is: They have been asked numerous times to hold forums. We don't need to ask Dominion. Dominion should be out talking to the community."

Photo © Fernando Alda
Jurgen Mayer H. Architects goal with Metropol Parasol's neutral tone was to help harmonize the stark contrast of the ultra-modern structure with the medieval surroundings of Seville. Stairways and storefronts sit below the wooden parasols, which form the largest wooden structure in the world. The innovative structure is made from bonded timber with a polyurethane coating.
The actual site was originally slated to become a parking garage, but after excavations revealed archeological findings, the city of Seville decided to make the site a museum and community center. Metropol Parasol now houses said museum, a farmers market, an elevated plaza, and a restaurant, most of which are open-air. The elevated rooftop promenades located on top of the parasols, offer visitors amazing views of the city.
Seville is a city with rich history and a unique medieval inner city. Metropol Parasol defines Seville's iconic cultural role, meshing a historic archeological destination with a sleek contemporary landmark.

This is a work of genius. As another commentator noted not every gets Gaudi. How could they? This masterpiece is mind blowing. The people of Seville are lucky to have such a piece of artwork smack dab in their city. Bravo! Peter Justice is misinformed about the project which is typical of privileged Americans who grew up in wealthy families with no artistic taste. As we say down south, light it up!
April 18, 2011 at 12:28 pm
Like many architectural buildings in Spain over the past 100 years or so, there's controversy. Many people didn't and still don't like Gaudi's work, or the Guggenheim I'm sure people were complaining about all the construction all those centuries La Alhambra was being built.
The beauty of art is the emotions it invokes, and when it's architecture, it brings out a lot of emotions since it's not sitting in a museum somewhere but it's in our faces.
I think it's structures like this that keeps Spain from stagnating and keeps tourists dreaming of going there (or going back again).
@peter justice: as the son of a Spaniard (mother was born in Bilbao, my family is from Burgos and Bermeo)…I sure hope you're not American because if you are calling Spaniards lazy would be like a slug calling a horse slow.
April 15, 2011 at 2:23 pm
Achtungdani and Lorraine J have said it all … nothing to add. Sorry folks but I dont like it.
April 15, 2011 at 12:19 pm
I am very impressed with the design of the Metropol Parasol, but I feel it important to point out before it becomes too embarrassing that it is not even close to being the World's Largest Wooden Structure. From my research, that title is indisputably held by the 7 surviving World War II vintage airdocks in the United States, which were constructed to house airships during the war when steel was in short supply. If you type "Moffett Federal Air Field, Mountain View, California" into Google Earth or Google Maps, you can see them. Two of the seven currently extant airdocks are on the right. They measure in plan 340 meters by 115 meters (approx. 100 M for the wooden part of the structure), which would mean that two, if not four Metropol Parasols in their entirety as measured using the same tool could fit in them. The Parasols are larger than the other oft-stated "largest wooden structure" – the Daibutsu-den of the Todaiji Temple in Japan.

Hi all.
@Lorraine J: While I can sympathize somewhat with the "homes in Africa" appeal, it's really kind of a non-argument IMHO – any 'landmark' project could probably be completed for half the final budget by cutting corners and the other half of the money could be destined to refugees… But then you probably wouldn't have that much of a 'landmark'. The story of the place is complex and the functionality of MP is too – it serves as an 'architectural sculpture', as a touristic attraction point, as a multifunctional space (the elevated plaza can be used for concerts and such), as a market, as a museum, and as an observation walkway, and has also renovated all its urban environment – there is more to it than 'ego polishing' (which is also part of the equation, I won't deny that ). Whenever you try building something really unique it's almost miraculous not to have massive cost overruns; not that it's something to be proud of, but it's a fact of life. So it's better to wait and see whether the structure works as a revitalizing hub before deciding. Nearby bars, businesses and the market sellers have already seen a strong increase in sales, and that's even before the museum and walkway were open.
And, besides, long & bureaucratic story short, MP has not been paid for by taxpayer money, which means that the money spent on its construction could only be used for very specific purposes (ringroads in the city – check; villages in Africa – not really).
@achtungdani, I'm sorry if I came across as too harsh. I have been thinking about what you said and I think I know where it comes from. I still stand by my comment that saying the structure is steel&concrete is rather inaccurate, but it is not 100% inaccurate (perhaps 90% 😉 ). There is a part which is indeed a steel 'matrix' which is covered with wood panels – the 'arch' which goes to the last parasol: http://www.wayfaring.info/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Metropol-Parasol-4.jpg . However, I estimate it represents about 10% of the surface area (and much less by volume), and it is supported by the wooden structure at either end. All the rest is wood. If you are interested in constructive details I suggest you check the Sevilla21 forums, which have been following the building process with keen interest.
With regards to the building lease, it's a stop gap solution until a new building is ready (I don't think the original plan to use the Gavidia sq. building for that is that smart, but who knows). The building itself has always been a part of the 'package', along with the lease of Metropol itself, to have Sacyr contribute the 20 M€ it has paid. So the problem is not so much the deal with Sacyr as the failure of the local government to have another building ready on time – even if the lease wasn't paid to Sacyr, it would have to be paid to somebody else.
April 15, 2011 at 2:31 am
Dear Andvaranaut, I admit I can be wrong, but a friend of mine, also an architect, has worked calculating the steel structure that supports the wood "packaging", that´s how I know that the structure is not made of wood. She told me that the first idea was to build the structure out of wood, but they realized it wasn´t possible, so they changed to steel.
Concerning the lease of the complex by Sacyr, this is not accurate. The Town Hall had a building in the square. It has given it to Sacyr, as part of the wage. The Town Hall, before the crisis, planned to build another building in another place, but now they have no money, so they will remain in this building, paying Sacyr a lease that will cost much money every month to all of us, so I doubt the deal is so positive for the people of Seville.
April 14, 2011 at 3:44 pm
Wow, Andvaranaut, great comprehensive response! Whilst I can see the artistic merit and tourism potential, I find difficulty acepting such complexity and expense being necessary for its function. What I'm trying to say is, if it were half that size it would still polish some egos and the other half could be used to build homes for the refugees in Africa. Just a thought. Be and go well, Lorraine J
April 14, 2011 at 2:34 pm
Another thing: the structure is indeed very optimized, it took a few teams of engineers quite a bit of time to come up with the final distribution of wood pieces… Each 'pixel' is about 1.5m side, and the width of the wood pieces varies, but is about 10-15 cm. So the vast majority of the space the structure occupies is open air instead of wood. The 'waffle' won't be that good a shelter against rain, of course, but I can vouch for it being stellar against sunrays!
April 14, 2011 at 2:20 pm
With regards to the ecological values of the wood, it has been provided by Finnforest (Kerto-Q) and, if I'm not mistaken, it is grown in certified forests, so I suppose it does qualify as "non-evil". For completeness, however, it must be noted that the structural unions use a special kind of glue (and plain old nuts&bolts), and the wood is dipped in polyurethane – I'm not sure how "green" these processes are. (I actually had this answer written weeks ago, but the authentication system here ate it and I was too lazy to retype 😉 In fact it has just done it again… but I have been smart enough to copy it to the clipboard this time – live and learn).
And achtungdani's information is not really accurate. The concrete and steel part is just the support and the platform of the restaurant (easy to see in Google Maps right now: http://bit.ly/egF41L ). All the rest of the structure is made of wood, which not only covers the above structure, but also supports the overhead walkway. In the map I link to it's easy to make out the concrete "stumps" which support the other 4 parasols – every other thing is wood. In fact, massive scaffolding has been needed to support the structure until the wooden 'puzzle' was complete and the structure became self-supporting.
The scale & place considerations are a matter of taste. I love it there, and it will provide a much needed attraction point to a part of the historical centre which is routinely neglected by tourists. But hey, to each his own. With regards to money, it has been costly indeed (about 90 M€, of which 20 M€ has been paid by Sacyr in exchange for a 40-year lease of the complex) but I'm sure that the returns will soon make the cost seem not that exorbitant.
April 14, 2011 at 11:57 am
I am a lazy spaniard architect who would like to add some information to your comments. The structure is not made of wood, as the article says, but of concrete and steel. Wood is just the exterior packaging of the whole thing. Personally I don´t like this project very much: it is completely out of scale and place, and has costed too much money. But this was a political choice, and we know how intelligent our politicians are…
April 1, 2011 at 10:10 am
Lorraine jenks asks the first intelligent question in this discussion: The shape is nice, and the public place it creates definitely is not something one encounters often. But I'm sceptical about the mass optimisation of the wood structure in respect to the form. i mean, Jurgen Mayer is definitely not to be compared to Buckminster Fuller, but I see a lot of wood ( a material that is not often as eco friendly as one would think)for little shelter.
March 31, 2011 at 11:26 pm
How eco friendly is this structure? Where was the wood sourced and how toxic are the bonding agents?
March 31, 2011 at 2:47 am
As my mates have already said the works are almost finished. In relation with "spanish lazyness" is just a kind of weird and no sense expression that doesn,t fit at all. I would really like to encourage you to come to Seville as soon as posible just to judge yourself this new Seville architectonic atraction. I think it´s worth visiting next summer!!!
March 30, 2011 at 3:44 pm
For PeterJustice: you say that the project will need two more years to be finished, due to budget constraints and "spanish lazyness". That is completely false, it is almost finished and only some finals details remain (in at most one month it will be finished). Everything is already open to the public.
Here the only lazyness seems to be in your brain.
March 30, 2011 at 3:25 pm
Hi all,
PeterJustice does not appear to be really informed. If you visit right now Seville you can fully enjoy the two first overground levels. It is right that the Underground Museum and the SkyWalk over "umbrellas" are still in work, but just for several weeks, not for two years!!
March 30, 2011 at 3:03 pm
Please, don't spread misinformation.
The estimated time until completion is about two MONTHS at most, not years. In fact, it is slated to be in full force for Palm Sunday, which is about a month away. And, by the way, the huge elevated plaza in which most of the 'fungi' rest was indeed open to the public – and is still, thank you very much. So saying that there is (was?) nothing to "open" is either misleading or outright malicious. There is still minor work to do (as in, replace some broken tiles, some painting, general cleaning) but nothing avoiding public access to the site.
The museum is scheduled to be open within one or two weeks (mid April). The works were completed about a month ago, and the installation of the museum resources is more or less finished. But they'll probably wait until the Carambolo Treasure (an important, and not often shown, archaeologic discovery near Seville) is ready for exhibition, since the Mayor promised that the Carambolo would be shown in the museum upon opening. The elevated walkway, which is also finished, will probably be open around the same time, once the last few painting retouches are done and lighting is installed. Again, Palm Sunday will probably be the day to judge the degree of completeness of the project.
With regards to the criticism, there has been no significant criticism of the "unopen" status of the project since, well, the plaza was indeed open. The main criticism aimed at the project is due to delays and cost increases, which is (sadly) a staple of landmark projects almost everywhere in the world. (Nearby case in point: The City of Arts and Sciences in Valencia, a breathtaking project which was to cost €200m and which is now at €1.3bn and counting). Besides, the public perception of the project, which used to be rather mixed, is now quickly becoming positive.
I won't comment upon the "Spanish lazyness" gem since it pretty much defines itself (way to go, dude). But next time please try to at least talk about something you know about…
March 29, 2011 at 9:28 am
To be precise and true to the events, this place is not really open to the public, they just made a political event yesterday as today is last LEGAL day for politicians to "open new infraestructures" and "announce" new social and civil projects before local elections in may 23th.
In fact they estimate it will be necessary two more years to finish the project because of budget constrains, and, lets, say, spanish lazyness…
The "opening" of this place has been followed with lots of criticism by the press and the in the opposition parties as there's really nothing to "open" to the citizens…

Gallery: Toyota Recalls 437,000 Hybrid Vehicles Due to Braking Glitch
If you're one of many greenies who recently purchased a 2010 Toyota Prius, turn that ride right around. The Japanese company has just announced that it's recalling 437,000 of its hybrid cars because of a braking system glitch. The company says that the recall applies to 223,000 Japanese vehicles, 155,000 American vehicles and 53,000 European cars.
Many environmentalists regard the Prius as the poster vehicle of the green movement, and the 2010 model's major problem affects one of its most eco features. All Priuses come equipped with a regenerative braking system, that uses energy from the car's wheels to help charge its battery (and as all of you probably know by now, the Prius is powered by electricity and fuel, so keeping that battery charged is key). Electronics merge the regenerative braking system with traditional brake pads. In the newest Priuses, a software glitch occurs when the car's antilock brakes are activated, causing vehicles to falter for a moment on slippery roads.
The 437,000 vehicles include 2010 standard Priuses, plug-in Priuses, Lexus HS250hs and Sai hybrids. The company says that drivers with pre-2010 models should not experience any problems. Drivers can simply take their cars to the dealership for fixing, which takes about 40 minutes. Though the problem seems like it's easily solved, let's hope that this flub doesn't deter folks from purchasing eco-friendly vehicles.

I heard about the pedal recall, but now a hybrid recall, the honda airbag recall and to think I could have had no idea if it affected my NON toyota car good thing I found more info here http://www.carpedalrecall.com
searched for my make, model, year and found my car had been recalled so look out! it could save a life maybe yours
don't understand how serious or what the car pedal recall is about?
just watch this video at the end it also shows how to stop a out of control car very useful

No. Plug in architecture changed with Illustrator CS6 and its move to 64-bit.
You need to contact the manufacturer and see if they are going to update their plug in.
There's nothing you can do as a user other than to use an older version of Illustrator if you need the plug in.
