Architecture Programme
Architecture Programme
The RA is where architecture intersects with the visual arts – a connection we explore through talks, performances, exhibitions and debates.
Stories from the Past — Visions of the Future
The Royal Academy and its Buildings
In the Architecture Space, Burlington House 20 May — 20 September 2015
Marking the moment we embark on the most significant transformation of our home for nearly 150 years, this exhibition explores the past and future of the RA's buildings.
Freedom and Creativity
Call for papers for multidisciplinary symposium to be held on 28 November 2015
This autumn, the RA is organising a season of events on 'Architecture and Freedom', which will explore a range of issues around the politics of space, the ethics of architectural practice and issues of constraint and compromise. This symposium, which will act as the season's culmination, seeks to widen the scope to examine the interfaces between political and philosophical, and creative concepts of freedom – manifested through culture.
Urban Jigsaw: filling in London's missing pieces
As we launch an architectural ideas competition, curator Owen Hopkins looks at the untapped potential of London's underused land – and why the solution is not as simple as it seems.
Unexpected Hill
Visitors to Burlington Gardens will be welcomed this summer by a ceramic urban landscape designed by emerging Istanbul-based practice, SO?.
Using tiles as structure rather than decoration, the Unexpected Hill offers a place to rest, explore or play, illustrating how the space between building and pavement can be occupied to change the character of a street. This new public space will host a programme of activities for all ages at 3pm on Sunday afternoons in July and September. Inside the Royal Academy's Burlington Gardens building discover more about ceramics and its potential to create space.
Unexpected Hill opens on 3rd July
Housing is one of the institutions of civil society and a mirror of its values.

Reimagining Mayfair: London's Next Cultural Quarter?
Ideas competition
In April, in partnership with the Architects' Journal, we launched an open call for architect-led, multidisciplinary teams to put forward ideas for reimagining the part of Mayfair to the immediate north of the RA's Burlington Gardens building.
Shared Cities
European Prize for Urban Public Space
Public space is a clear indicator of the civic and collective health of our cities.
A biennial initiative of the Centre of Contemporary Culture of Barcelona (CCCB), the European Prize for Urban Public Space aims to draw attention to the importance of public space in the democratic life of cities. This exhibition showcases the twenty-five most outstanding projects of the 2014 prize, exemplified as interventions that give priority to access over barriers of every kind and encourage appropriation by citizens.
About the Architecture programme
The Programme
The Architecture Programme encompasses a variety of events, new commissions and curated displays. From lectures by leading international architects and multidisciplinary panel events, to poetry readings and immersive musical experiences, the Programme consistently pushes boundaries and inspires fresh thinking.
Our buildings
Dating originally from the 1660s, Burlington House has been our home since 1867, and has seen impressive additions over the years by a roster of celebrated architects. Continuing that rich history, Burlington Gardens, originally built in the 1860s, is currently the focus of a major redevelopment of the RA's site by David Chipperfield Architects, due for completion in 2018.
RA Annual Architecture Lecture
Taking place in Summer Exhibition, our signature event is the Annual Architecture Lecture, which over the last? 24 years has provided a unique platform for architects of major international standing. Past participants have included Frank Gehry, Peter Zumthor, Renzo Piano and, last year, Rafael Moneo.
Find out how you can support architecture at the RA.
The Architecture Programme is made possible through the Drue Heinz Endowment for Architecture.

Nothing captures our curiosity more than the future, and nothing captures the future better than Otronicon.
Next Event: January 16 - 19, 2015
What if tomorrow's heart surgeons were trained on state of the art, simulated patients? What if, someday, you could learn from the world's most renowned companies – without leaving your desk? What if an evening on the town in ten years meant a virtual stroll through the streets of Paris?
For full information, visit the Otronicon website at www.otronicon.org!
If you have a passion for technology, simulators, and video games in general, mark your calendars for the most interactive technology expo in Central Florida - Otronicon. This event takes the world of video games and simulation, and transforms them into in-depth immersive experiences.
There will also be classes in video game creation, as well as exclusive peeks at simulators created by experts in the field. This is the one weekend when the Orlando Science Center leaves its doors open for extended evening hours, so be sure to plan on experiencing all of the interactive fun at Otronicon.
Otronicon is a celebration of interactive technology that takes place each January at Orlando Science Center. It offers a glimpse into the future and a demonstration of how interactive technology will impact how we work, learn and play. At Otronicon, guests walk on the cutting edge through state of the art video games, digital media, digital art, and workshops – not to mention military and medical simulators typically not available to the public.
Otronicon is open to the public for four full days. The event also adds value to the community through a strong field trip component.
My son thinks he is interested in this
(digital media) as a career. I can't
think of a better place for him.

Ever dream of becoming a super hero? Playing the hero in video games may actually help make that a reality!
Violent video games have long been thought to increase aggression, but it appears that the opposite is true as well. A study done at the Stanford Virtual Human Interaction Laboratory shows that having superpowers in a video game can make people more altruistic.
Stanford researchers used a simulation game to test their theory. One at a time, 60 men and women strapped on virtual reality goggles and were whisked away to a virtual cityscape. Their airborne mission: to deliver insulin to a diabetic child. Half of the test subjects completed their mission by flying in a helicopter; the other half controlled their flight by a series of arm motions, like Superman.

David Giese, retiring art professor with the College of Art and Architecture, is known for his unique artistry in sculpting and collaging and for helping to bring the Mardi Gras celebration to downtown Moscow. Now after 36 years of teaching at the University of Idaho, Giese and alumni are creating a named endowed fellowship in honor of his time here and his retirement.
A master sculptor and collagist, whose style is internationally-famous and chronicled in the work and catalog, "Plunder of the Past, Excavations from La Villa Bitricci," Giese says his experience at the University of Idaho also has benefited his craft.
"When you're in an educational situation, you're here to help students develop their own voice," says Giese. "Education, especially in the studio, is a process in which you learn by doing."
Giese came to the University of Idaho in 1977 as the then-department of art and architecture's professor for foundation design.
"A lot of students felt their experience with me, especially when I was teaching foundations, was very valuable and that it wasn't a course; it was design boot camp, and it was hard," says Giese. "They came away with a real great skill set. The ability to think about something in relations to content – versus just technique – is extremely important."
Giese incorporates the need for critical thinking and problem-solving skills in his curriculum through an interdisciplinary approach to prepare students for today's workplace.
"The foundation of the College of Art and Architecture is based on the fact that regardless of a students' major in the college, be it fine art, landscape design, interior design or architecture, they will learn to solve problems visually," says Giese.
"The reality of the workplace is interdisciplinary and students, if they hope to succeed, regardless of what they do, are going to have to deal with the dialogue of people from different backgrounds – especially in the fields represented by the College of Art and Architecture."
As a retirement gift to the university, Giese has created an endowed fellowship that will carry his legacy of interdisciplinary study within the college. The fellowship will support the costs to bring visiting artists or designers to campus for several weeks at a time to work with a class or teach a workshop. The only criteria for use of these endowed funds are that each visiting artist's or designer's work must be interdisciplinary by nature.
"The fellowship will be a vehicle to aid students and faculty to have a pulse on what is really happening," says Giese. "And through the evolution of this fellowship, it will be tapping resources of not just historical but very contemporary issues."

Re: Goooood Morning SHR - Monday
Now to those of you wondering if we are going to give them anything...yes, we are going to make them wait a week or so. Let this lesson sink in. Maybe even have them write a story about the meaning of Christmas and how it is more blessed to give than to receive. Then in the future they will think back on this year and say was it worth it, should I have asked for so much, should I have thought of others first, and the list could go on.

Interpretive Handbook
89893 :
Enterovirus, Molecular Detection, PCR, Plasma
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Enteroviruses are positive-sense RNA viruses in the Picornaviridae family. These viruses were initially classified by serotype as polioviruses (3 types), echoviruses (31 types, including types 22 and 23, which are now classified as parechoviruses), coxsackievirus A (23 types), and coxsackievirus B (6 types). However, genomic studies have demonstrated that there is significant overlap in the biological characteristics of different serotypes and, more recently, isolated enteroviruses are now named with consecutive numbers (eg, EV68, EV69).
The normal site of enterovirus replication is the gastrointestinal tract where the infection is typically subclinical. However, in a proportion of cases, the virus spreads to other organs, causing systemic manifestations, including mild respiratory disease (eg, common cold); conjunctivitis; hand, foot, and mouth disease; aseptic meningitis; myocarditis; and acute flaccid paralysis. Collectively, enteroviruses are the most common cause of upper respiratory tract disease in children. In addition, the enteroviruses are the most common cause of central nervous system (CNS) disease; they account for almost all viruses recovered in culture from spinal fluid. Differentiation of enteroviruses from other viruses and bacteria that cause CNS disease is important for the appropriate medical management of these patients.
Traditional cell culture methods require 6 days, on average, for enterovirus detection. In comparison, real-time PCR allows same-day detection. Detection of enterovirus nucleic acid by PCR is also the most sensitive diagnostic method for the diagnosis of CNS infection caused by these viruses.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Aids in diagnosing enterovirus infections
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
A positive result indicates the presence of enterovirus RNA in the specimen.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
A negative result does not rule out the possibility of enterovirus infection. This assay may detect virus from a variety of specimen types in asymptomatic individuals. This assay should only be used for patients with a clinical history and symptoms consistent with enterovirus infection, and must be interpreted in the context of the clinical picture. This test should not be used to screen asymptomatic patients.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
Clinical References Provides recommendations for further in-depth reading of a clinical nature

JOHNSONBURG – The Johnsonburg Municipal Authority met last night to discuss the progress of the waste water treatment plant.
According to Pat Ward of Uni-Tec, the project is "right on the doorstep of final completion" and is estimated to near completion in 30 days.
"McCrossin has really picked up the speed and they are working diligently to finally bring this thing to closure," Ward said. "I was told they have been doing a good job cleaning the inside of the facilities and buildings.
"There is a punch list of items to be completed and that punch list is being done by McCrossin at this time. The original list was 450 items and there are about 300 items left to be completed. McCrossin seems to be attacking it with some aggression and it is estimated that they will be fully complete in about one month."

|Average Customer Rating:

|Good build, one issue so far.
|Brian (06-20-2013)
Los Angeles, CA
|For the most part this is a great drain tray. Metal is sturdy enough for its purpose, just don't lean on it. You'd be hard pressed to bend it using a mug without breaking the mug, and it will certainly hold several mugs with beer in them. The metal is not ferrous. Magnets do not stick to it, except for the threaded drain attachment plug.
Since you can't see it in the picture, the drain hole has a 0.5-inch threaded plug extending from the bottom in the center. This makes it easy to attach whatever custom plumbing or tubing you like, or even plug it to turn it into a drip tray with no drain. This is perfect for me as this is going in a keezer and my intent was to drain to the side, so that long copper tube can be tossed out and replaced with e.g. a flanged rubber tube attachment.
Three problems, two sort of minor, one an actual issue:
1 (very minor): It's difficult to remove the splash guard from the drain tray. This is easily solved by keeping a plastic spatula or some other sturdy flat tool around, to poke between the slots and lift it out. The only issue is it's a heavy piece, so you can't comfortably do it with fingers. There will be a temptation to use a flathead screwdriver, which will probably leave scratches and bend marks on the metal. The metal isn't magnetic, so you can't lift it out that way either. I had some success using fingers to pry it out from the long side, alternating hands and taking advantage of the half-inch gap at the top, but can't imagine having success with that when my hands have been exposed to cleaning fluids. Really this is a minor concern, and I only mention it because I've seen other splash guards with finger holes on the side for easy removal.
2 (aesthetic): The splash guard seems to have been cut from a large strip of metal and then bent at the long edges so it stands up. I won't complain too much about cheap construction, as there were more expensive models to choose, but this was perforated to form the drain slits and then cut to size, and the drain slits don't line up with the cuts. The right hand edge is cut through solid metal between two slits, but the left edge goes through the middle of one of the drain slits. The correct solution would have been to leave some flat metal at both sides so there was a good place to make the cuts, but they cut corners to save time and materials and the left edge has the first third of a drain slit cut at the edge. This does not leave any sharp edges, it's purely aesthetic.
3 (somewhat major): The splash guard doesn't fit well within the drain tray. The splash guard fits horizontally but leaves a 0.5-inch gap at the top edge, leaving lots of room for it to move around. The actual clearance is 3/8 inch between the vertical sides of the two pieces, but it looks like a full half inch due to the curved edge of the splash guard. This is more of an aesthetic problem, since it looks like the pieces weren't made for each other. The splash guard can move around and leave a .5" gap at the bottom, .5" gap at the top, or go askew and not line up. I could hold the splash guard in place by putting a 3/8" piece of aluminum between the pieces, but that would be a crevice for gunk to build up in and possibly mold. Ideally, the drain tray would just be 1/4" shorter.
Bottom line is, I wish I'd been aware of the aesthetic and design issues when buying, but I probably still would have bought this one. When it comes down to it large drain trays are a specialty item, and the only way you'll get one that's perfect is to either make it yourself or spend a lot more money. I took off two stars for the issues above, since I feel like the manufacturer went a little too far trying to minimize manufacturing expense, and I remember seeing similarly priced splash guards without those issues.
|Bottom Line:
|I would recommend this product.

With the District 10 Majors tournament championship game knotted at 1-1 in the bottom of the sixth inning on Monday night, Chantilly American�s Matthew Nava stepped up to home plate.
With a state tournament berth on the line, runners stood nervously on first and second base, hoping Nava could provide a hit that would hand Chantilly Little League its first District 10 trophy since 2009.
�I struck out two times before that, and I really wanted to make up for what I�d done,� Nava said.
Just a few seconds after his at bat started, Nava watched the ball spring from his bat toward left-center field, which sent Eric Tsai on the run of his life.
Tsai barreled toward home from second base and reached the plate in time to be greeted by a mob of exuberant teammates.
Nava�s single produced a 2-1 win for Chantilly American against defending champion Southwestern Youth Association East, and earned Chantilly a spot in this weekend�s Virginia State Little League tournament in Chesapeake, Va.
�I swung at the first pitch, and it happened to become a single,� Nava said. �It was really awesome to have a walk-off hit against such a competitive team.�
In a gritty battle between two of the area�s best defenses, no runs were scored until the final inning. SYA East pitcher Tommy Bradley had tossed a no-hitter through five, striking out 12 in the process. For Chantilly American, Nava (4 1/3 innings) and Tyler Youk (1 2/3 innings) had scattered six hits across the game.
SYA East broke the stalemate in the top of the sixth inning with a home run. Youk led off the bottom of the inning with a single, and Tsai doubled to the leftfield corner to score Youk and tie the game. Ryan Hodinko then reached on an error, and Nava took care of the rest.
�I�m just really proud of the boys because it was a lot of hard work, not just in the last few weeks when we practice every day, but they�ve been putting time in for years,� Chantilly American manager Frank Nava said. �My son and a lot of the others have been playing baseball since 2004. They�ve dedicated a lot of time to it, and when you see all the hard work pay off in their last season in Little League, that�s what means the most to me. All the time that coaches put in with them and all the kids� dedication just kind of came together in the best possible way.�
Although it was a battle of No. 1 seeds, Monday night�s title game felt a bit like big brother versus little brother. SYA East, playing on its home field, had been making a habit of sending Chantilly packing — they had edged Chantilly teams the previous two years at this stage. As the game wound down, it appeared things were heading in that direction once again, until Chantilly American�s bats got hot at just the right time.
�Beating SYA East on their home turf meant that much more to everyone because we have a great program and we love to see them going up against each other,� Frank Nava said. �So this was big for us to do this for the first time in a few years.�
Chantilly American must now gear up for the state tournament, where they will play their first game at 7:30 p.m. Friday against Charles Peete Little League from District 6. Chantilly American won the District 10 title last year and advanced to the state tournament in the 10-11 age group. Their 1-2 record in pool play gave them a harsh taste for the higher degree of difficulty at that stage — something that won�t get any easier at the Majors level this time around.
�We expect to see really, really competitive baseball with some really deep teams, teams with their top three to six batters who are really going to be very good,� Frank Nava said. �That�s when you have to have your pitching down. There�s stuff you can�t throw to those guys that you might throw to guys later in the [batting] order. It boils down to what our team is about: really good defense, really good pitching and timely hitting. I think if we can put those things together then there�s nobody we can�t compete against.�
Chantilly American can be encouraged by the fact a team from Fairfax County has won the state title and represented Virginia at the Southeastern Regional Little League Tournament each of the past three years. Still, with so many talented teams gunning to shatter that trend, guarantees are few and far between.
�Every year is different; you never know quite what to expect,� Matthew Nava said. �I remember some good teams from last year that will be playing, so it will be interesting. We�ll see what happens.�

Lady Bucs sign Science Hill standout Cynthia Phillips
Monday, November 17, 2003JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (November 17, 2003) - East Tennessee State University women's golf coach Stefanie Reynolds announced Monday that University High School senior Cynthia Phillips (Johnson City) has signed a national letter of intent to play golf at ETSU. Phillips, a two-time All-Conference and All-District selection in Class A, finished 5th at the TSSAA state championships as a sophomore to earn All-State honors. In the summer of 2002, Phillips captured the consolation championship at the Women's Western Jr., chipping in on the first playoff hole to beat the defending Illinois state high school champion. Reynolds said Phillips is a quality player and an excellent student. Currently, the senior holds a 4.0 grade point average at UH. "Cindy is the type of player and the kind of student we want in our golf program," Reynolds said. "She has the ability to score and contribute to the team immediately once she arrives here in the fall of 2004. Our program continues to make positive strides and I think Cindy's decision is just another one of those steps."

Cool jewelry is not exactly hard to come by these days with the crazy amount of talented (and innovative) jewelers in our midst. But, every once in a while one brand stands out for something other than looks. And we can't help but be a little pleased with ourselves for the two-in-one find.For example, not only does L.A.-based jewelry company Kora feature stunning and cool accessories, they also produce them in a way that is both different and responsible. All KORA (which means "work" in Kinyarwanda) pieces are made by artists in developing communities in Africa using locally found recycled materials. The designers use their "trade not aid" philosophy to benefit local communities long-term, rather than making a one-time donation.

Step 1: What you will need
i bought that square looking led light of ebay for $20 but i cant use it yet because it needs a heat sink and fan, the other one runs cooler. 12v
i want to try it. but i want something different type of LED bulb ussing for this..
I have bought a 2.5 inch lcd, a VGA to RCA converter box but the resolutions aren't compatible (2.5 inch lcd from ebay have resolutions of about 320*240 and VGA to RCA converter from ebay begins at resolution 800 * 600)
can i use anything else
plzzzz help
plz answer
So, PLEASEEE enlighten me hahaha thanks a lot a lot this is damn cool and I'm already halfway buying all the materials! just dont get the LED part!! Thanks!! :)
Unfortunately, this does usually mean taking some expensive equipment apart - like a TV or computer monitor! - but the good news is that you could use equipment that isn't working properly. Look for a computer monitor with a broken backlight, because you don't need that part to use it for this build.
Yours is amazing.
I am using a sprint pocket pc with a touch screen so it might be a problem accessing media but it will do.
I just had a few questions?
DO i need a frensel lens?
What kind of light should i use? (how bright?)
can i use a slr camera lens instead of the magnifying glass u used in the front?
and please help me!
what does the frensel lens do?
It doesnt seem to be required because of its placement... i Guess?
Dont trust me thou!
I'm currently looking for a fresnel lens. Can you please tell me if this one could do :
there's also a bigger one :
I'm asking as my LCD size is different from BOTH of these..so I've no idea if these lenses will or will not do
Thanks for the wonderful 'ible !!:)
This is also by Airmail, so the UK Postal service (Royal Mail) say that it should arrive in approximately 7-10 days.
If you are interested then do email me and I would be happy to help!
I found this on ebay :
and this :
I'll give these a try and if they don't work, seek your help !
Many thanks again :)
You can get 55"X36" for $18.30 / yard. So obviously 55"x72" screen would be $36.6 plus shipping of about $15+.
What I'm looking for is the fresnel lens..these are the most hard to get..especially since now nobody uses slide projectors !
any other types of lcd can be used which are available in indian market in low cost?

Is this simply a synonym for sweep picking or is it something else?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Music: Practice & Theory Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for musicians, students, and enthusiasts. It's 100% free, no registration required.
Nope 'economy picking' employs both sweep/alternate and other types of picking, combined with legato and/or other techniques.
So you may: -> alternate pick a triplet on a string -> sweep down 3 strings -> skip a string -> sweep back up two strings -> play a small legato phrase to finish: all as part of the same line.
The Idea is to make as little work for the picking hand as possible, so you can play as many notes as possible with as little effort as possible.

Shedding those extra pounds to lose weight may seem impossible, but with these 10 weight-loss remedies, it can be a little easier and much more rewarding.
Lighten up! Shedding pounds doesn't have to be a grim affair.
- Do activities you love. Vacuuming around the house in an aerobic manner, walking through the neighborhood instead of driving, and zipping around the grocery store, can burn some calories.
- A glass of water could do the trick. Before you tell yourself you are hungry and want to grab a snack, try drinking a glass of water. Water has zero calories and gives you a feeling of being full. Or, try green tea.
- Stick to the serving size. Read the serving size on what you are snacking on. If the serving size is 2 crackers, only eat 2! And don't go back for seconds or you need to add an extra serving.
- Try using smaller plates! Research has shown that simply switching to a small dinner plate helps people eat less. Even going from a 12-inch plate to a 10-inch plate reduced consumption by 22%.
- Eat at the table. Don't snack in the car or in front of a TV. Sit down at a real table and pay attention to what you are eating.
- Chew a lot. It takes your stomach 20 minutes to tell your brain it is full. The slower you eat, the less calories you intake. Try not to scarf your food down.
- Eat more plants. Try shifting to a more plant-based diet. Eat dinners that are 2/3 vegetables and 1/3 meat. As Thomas Jefferson once said, think of meat as a "flavor principle."
- Say no to the booze. One beer has about as many calories as eating one bagel. So 3 beers, essentially, is equivalent to 3 bagels. Drinking also leads to excessive eating, so if you want to shed the pounds, saying no is sometimes best.
- Stay to the edges of a supermarket and out of the middle. The edges have real food (fruits, vegetable, produce, dairy) where sugary, processed foods are in the middle aisles. Better yet, shop at farmers' markets when you can. You don't find much junk there.
- Walk the dog. Research shows that dieters who exercised their dog for 30 minutes a day shed an average of 11 pounds.
At least half the exercise I get every day comes from jumping to conclusions.
If you have weight loss ideas, add them below!

A Garden of Diversity
Queens Botanical Garden, located in Flushing, serves New York City's largest and most ethnically diverse borough. In 1997, the Garden adopted a new vision that reflects the great cultural diversity that exists in Queens. Since then, the Garden has been committed to presenting "plants as unique expressions of cultural traditions." Much of the ethnographic data presented here is the result of independent fieldwork conducted in Queens. QBG worked closely with community members who were eager to share their knowledge of cultural traditions. These individuals served as important liaisons between QBG and the Queens community, acting simultaneously as storytellers, teachers, and interpreters. The information contained in these pages and publications represents a small fraction of what is to be learned from the many ethnic communities living in Queens. The cultural landscape of Queens is forever changing and adapting. As emerging immigrant communities shift and become established, cultural traditions adapt. We encourage all to take notice and enjoy the rich cultural diversity of this truly unique borough.

CLEARFIELD — Clearfield Community School District's dissolution seems to be moving ahead, and a hearing date has been set.
Clearfield School Board listened to the dissolution proposal given by Doug England, dissolution commission chairman, and voted to set a public hearing for the dissolution of the school district for July 15, and keep the regular board meeting for the following day, July 16, when members will vote on passing the proposed dissolution plan.
"The hearing itself, July 15's the date we've been talking about for quite a while, and I don't see any reason why that needs to change," said Joe Drake, shared superintendent of Bedford, Clearfield and Mount Ayr. "I think that fits in with the dates that we needed to have in order to publicize and have it out before the September election."
The hearing is set for 6 p.m. July 15, in Room 202 at Clearfield Community School. At the hearing, the board will present the dissolution proposal, and have a map of where the new district lines will be. They will then listen to what the community has to say about the proposal.
"Normally, after you hear from the public, you would go in and make a decision about what you're going to do, and the suggestion here I think it wait a day or so," said Drake.
Members of the school board will vote after the hearing to either adopt, or amend and adopt the dissolution proposal. They will then vote on the proposal the following night, July 16, during the regularly scheduled meeting.
"As far as our final plan that we've come up with, what we're putting in the paper is how everything is divided, every section is divided, and what district kids go to," said England.
The hearing must be scheduled between 40 and 60 days before the September election. The hearing, however, cannot be scheduled earlier.
The election is set for September 10, when voters will decide the fate of Clearfield District and its assets. The approved vote must be 51 percent to pass, and if so, 2013-14 will be the final Clearfield CSD school year.
If the vote does not reach 51 percent, the process will start over.
The vote to dissolve Clearfield District came during the March 19 board meeting, when it became clear the district had the choice to either do nothing, known as involuntary dissolution, which means the state of Iowa would take control, or maintain control and pursue voluntary dissolution.
"I guess I would compliment the commission, the members of the commission that were on there," England said. "It wasn't always a happy time, it was kind of a tough decision to make, but everyone worked very hard on it, and I appreciated that."
The dissolution was based on the fact the district could not afford to stay afloat because of a drop in enrollment. There were 20 students enrolled in Clearfield's kindergarten through sixth-grade during the 2012-13 school year.
Sections of the school district will be split between Bedford, Diagonal, Mount Ayr and Lenox school districts. Parts of each township and county Clearfield students live in are separated into districts based on where the students live.
Because of the low enrollment, Clearfield District wasn't able to get enough money from the state.
Iowa schools receive money from the state through different funds based on enrollment. One main source of money is allowable growth, which increases each year and is used toward things like heat and supplies.
"Iowa schools are told, basically, based on the number of students they have in the building, how much (money) they have the authority to spend," said Drake in a previous CNA interview. "And, because our enrollment has declined so much over the years, and we have so few students, we don't have enough students in the building to generate enough money to pay everyone that needs to be paid."
Any money a school receives and does not spend goes into budget authority, which gives the school authority to spend it, depending on stipulations put on it by the state.
Clearfield District is estimated to receive allowable growth and miscellaneous money, totalling $911,596. With the unspent budget authority, the maximum amount of money the district can spend for the 2013-14 school year is estimated at $1,047,960.
It is predicted the district's expenditures will be $1,250,000, which is $202,040 more than it can afford.
One of the ways to decrease costs would be to eliminate teaching positions, which would decrease teaching quality for the 2013-14 school year, something Drake said he is not willing to do.

An absolutely fascinating approach to user interface design. This is a contact page like no other... The hand-drawn style is used effectively, and while I not totally on board with the changing of the mouse and attempts to get you to view the site fullscreen, it's certainly a different approach to a contact page!Posted in Interface → Web App
Another iPhone App that\'s attempting to recreate a classic lo-fi camera, and another beautiful interface! I love the detail put into the camera lens itself, you almost feel like you could see your reflection. More effort could have been put into the feel of the buttons, but overall it\'s still a satisfying App to use.Posted in Interface → iPhone App
An effortless App for word processing and many other things besides! It utilises space really effectively thereby giving the maximum space to your document. I really like the feel and design of the menus that appear when you need to perform certain actions!Posted in Interface → iPad App
A slick portfolio site that features a massive central slideshow! The use of a scrolling gallery of recent work is excellent and perfectly showcases the company\'s diversity. I like the use of green to add interest to an otherwise monochrome layout!Posted in Web Design → Portfolio
A good and intriguing site for a web design agency. I particularly like the colourful doodles and friendly typeface! The spacing of everything does bother me slightly but it\\\'s made up for by the textured background and strokes of colour.Posted in →
Another beautifully designed App from Sophia Teutschler! Groceries has a simple pinboard and note paper aesthetic which is very enjoyable to use. Overall the interface is intuitive and features excellent typefaces and icon design.Posted in Interface → iPhone App
The use of natural colours here perfectly suits the idea of vitality! The word \'Formulas\' could perhaps be a little darker as on the white background it doesn\'t really make an impact, but otherwise a good logo. It is, however, a nice touch that this logo can remain unchanged and work well on a black background.Posted in Branding → Logo
A simple but classy interface for a notes App. THe small custom icons are great and perfectly complement the classic note feel of the App. I find the purple tint a fascinating design twist on an otherwise functional interface.Posted in Interface → Mac App
I love the artistic focal point of this site. The minimalism of the links and other aspects allow your attention to be drawn to the action! The logo is simple but works brilliantly!Posted in Web Design → Design
A basic but sharp logo design that uses the company letter as the focal point. The use of lime green works to add interest to an otherwise relatively straightforward design. The font is interesting, and benefits from the reflection effect, but is still very readable.Posted in Branding → Logo

This site was included mostly for its interesting interactivity.

The giant photographic header is a beautiful element that immediately grabs your attention. Other nice touches include the pop of orange and the blurry transparency on page tabs.Posted in Web Design → Misc
This site uses a simple but effective design with a jQuery slider header and another for the content area. The use of sliders allowed the designer to cram a ton of content on a single page in a nicely designed manner.Posted in Web Design → Portfolio
This incredibly unique site features some awesome illustration work and super bright colors. Note the generous use of whitespace and the use of another color in the middle of the site to break up the content.Posted in Web Design → Portfolio
This site features a unique looking thumbnail gallery that contains tall, thin images with animated rollovers. I really like the textured background used on this site, it has a sort of tiled look that I have not seen on a million other sites.Posted in Web Design → Portfolio

This would be a great hors d'oeuvres, or perfect for a first course for an autumn dinner. The salty salmon is foiled perfectly by the sweet, tangy lemon curd and additional cranberries. A crisp 2008 Matua vineyards, New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc will pair exceptionally well with this dish.

I have now modified the forum so that Soap Box posts do not show up on the UNREAD posts page.
The motivation behind this change is that the soap box should be a very minor part of the forum, and that its controversial nature is likely to turn people off and make them less likely to want to participate on the forum.. or at least less likely to be civil and engage in the main subject matter that we'd like to focus on. The Soap Box is something I am still a bit uneasy about, because I feel like it has the potential for disrupting the comity and focus of the site. And I'm uncomfortable with the tone of the posts showing up side by side with the software discussions.
So anyway, this is an attempt to ensure the Soap Box remains a very very minor part of the forum.
I note that this may not be the ideal solution -- it might be better to let people to opt-in to listing new soap box posts in their unread list, for people who do want to follow such posts. For now, if you do want to follow such posts, you need only bookmark the unread posts link but with the board id of 311 specified explicitly:
For example:
- http://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?action=unread;boards=311 - unread posts in soap box section
- http://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?action=rtopicsdense;sort=creation;boards=311 - recent topics in soap box section
The long term policy of the DonationCoder forum is to be respectful and avoid topics like religion and politics. We set up the Soap Box so that we would have a place for discussions that became inappropriate for the main sections of the forum. But even with this section, we ask people try their best to ensure that this section does not become their focus on the site -- it's not what we are about. Use this section sparingly and make it a very small part of your stay at DC.
This forum is our home. We work hard to be welcoming and helpful to friends and strangers who hold widely differing views of life. If you are making a post that is significantly at odds with this idea, please consider whether there might not be a better website to make such a post.

Kosher Vegetarian
|Minty, Parsley and Basil Pistou
By Rachel Willen, foodfixkitchen.com
This herby-fresh pistou (fancy-French for pesto) with mint and parsley and basil goes well with new potatoes, boiled, lightly smashed and pan-fried to a crispy, creamy perfection make this a meal fit for a spring celebration!
½ cup tightly packed fresh basil leaves (20-25 leaves)
Pistou is traditionally pounded by hand in a large mortar, starting with grinding the garlic into the salt to make a paste, then adding the herbs a little at a time, continuing to grind until smooth. Then you add the tomato, shallot and olive oil and incorporate thoroughly. Alternately you put all the ingredients in a blender, or mini chopper to accomplish the same result, using the pulse action to easily chop and combine the ingredients. To retain the rustic, hand grounded quality of the pistou, do not over-process or turn into a puree. Pulsing the ingredients in the processor will give you control over the final texture.
Makes approx. 1 ½ cups
Recipe: Kosher, vegetarian, parve

Those eager to showcase their Fairfax County pride on their cars will soon be able to place orders for the proposed county license plates.
The Fairfax County Board of Supervisors signed off on the new plate design Tuesday.
It features the county seal in the middle, a screened outline of the county behind the seal and the plate numbers and both the Visit Fairfax and Fairfax County URLs.
Before the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles will begin manufacturing the plates, the county must solicit prepaid orders from at least 350 people.
But Visit Fairfax, which is spearheading the effort to get people to order the plates, is not content to stop there, said President and CEO Barry Biggar.
The county's tourism agency will continue to market the plates for at least a year, he said.
If the DMV sells at least 1,000 Fairfax County license plates, the county will start receiving a share of the proceeds.
Special license plates in Virginia cost $25 extra per year. Fairfax County will get $15 of each plate fee and the DMV will retain the other $10.
If it is successful in this effort, the county plans to use the revenues to support the costs of hosting the 2015 World Police and Fire Games and other tourism-related endeavors.

Reversible protein phosphorylation networks play essential roles in most cellular processes. While over 500 kinases catalyze protein phosphorylation, only two enzymes, PP1 and PP2a, are responsible for >90% of all serine/ threonine phosphatase activity (1). Phosphatases, unlike kinases, achieve substrate specificity through complex subunit assembly and post-translational modifications rather than number. PP2a, for example, typically exists as heterotrimer with diverse subunits that may combinatorially make as many as 70 different holoenzyme assemblies (2). Mutations in several of these PP2a subunits have been identified in human cancers, suggesting that PP2a may act as a tumor suppressor (3). Adding further complexity, several residues of the catalytic subunit of PP2a can be reversibly phosphorylated, and the C-terminal leucine residue can be reversibly methylated (4,5). PME-1 is specifically responsible for demethylation of the carboxyl terminus (6).
Methylesterification is thought to control the binding of different subunits to PP2a, but little is known about physiological significance of this post-translational modification in vivo (7). Recently, PME-1 has been identified as a protector of sustained ERK pathway activity in malignant gliomas (8). In order to further elucidate the role of PP2a methylation in vivo, our lab has generated mice that lack PME-1 (PME-1 (-/-) mice) by targeted gene disruption (9). Unfortunately, PME-1 deletion resulted in perinatal lethality, underscoring the importance of PME-1 but hindering our biological studies. Biochemical elucidation of PME-1 and other protein modifiers such as lysophospholipases would thus greatly benefit from the development of potent and selective chemical inhibitors (10).

Assay Overview:
The purpose of this assay is to confirm activity of compounds identified as active in a previous set of experiments entitled, "Counterscreen for PME1 inhibitors: fluorescence polarization-based primary biochemical high throughput screening assay to identify inhibitors of lysophospholipase 2 (LYPLA2)" (AID 2177). This assay also serves as a counterscreen for a set of previous experiments entitled, "Fluorescence polarization-based primary biochemical high throughput screening assay to identify inhibitors of Protein Phosphatase Methylesterase 1 (PME-1)" (AID 2130). This competitive activity-based protein profiling (ABPP) assay uses fluorescence polarization to investigate enzyme-substrate functional interactions based on active site-directed molecular probes (11, 12). In this assay a fluorophosphonate-rhodamine (FP-Rh) probe which broadly targets enzymes from the serine hydrolase family (12) is used to label LYPLA2 in the presence of test compounds. The reaction is excited with linear polarized light and the intensity of the emitted light is measured as the polarization value (mP). As designed, test compounds that act as inhibitors will prevent LYPLA2-probe interactions, thereby increasing the proportion of free (unbound) fluorescent probe in the well, leading to low fluorescence polarization. Omission of enzyme (which gives the same result as use of a catalytically-dead enzyme) will serve as a positive control. Compounds were tested in triplicate at a nominal concentration of 5.9 micromolar.
Protocol Summary:
Prior to the start of the assay, 4.0 microliters of Assay Buffer (0.01% Pluronic acid, 50 mM Tris HCl pH 8.0, 150 mM NaCl, 1mM DTT) containing 9.38 nanomolar of LYPLA2 protein were dispensed into 1536 microtiter plates. Next, 30 nL of test compound in DMSO or DMSO alone (0.59% final concentration) were added to the appropriate wells and incubated for 30 minutes at 25 degrees Celsius.
The assay was started by dispensing 1.0 microliter of 375 nM FP-Rh probe in Assay Buffer to all wells. Plates were centrifuged and after 10 minutes of incubation at 25 degrees Celsius, fluorescence polarization was read on a Viewlux microplate reader (PerkinElmer, Turku, Finland) using a BODIPY TMR FP filter set and a BODIPY dichroic mirror (excitation = 525nm, emission = 598nm). Fluorescence polarization was read for 15 seconds for each polarization plane (parallel and perpendicular). The well fluorescence polarization value (mP) was obtained via the PerkinElmer Viewlux software.
The percent inhibition for each compound was calculated as follows:
Percent inhibition = ( Test_Compound_mP - median_Negative_Control_mP ) / ( median_Positive_Control_mP - median_Negative_Control_mP ) * 100
Test_Compound is defined as wells containing LYPLA2 in the presence of test compound.
Negative_Control is defined as wells containing LYPLA2 and DMSO.
Positive_Control is defined as wells containing no LYPLA2 protein.
The average percent inhibition and standard deviation of each compound tested were calculated. Any compound that exhibited an average percent inhibition greater than the hit cutoff calculated for the primary screen (AID 2177) was declared active.
The reported PubChem Activity Score has been normalized to 100% observed primary inhibition. Negative % inhibition values are reported as activity score zero.
The activity score range for active compounds is 100-15, for inactive 15-0.
List of Reagents:
Recombinant LYPLA2 enzyme (supplied by Assay Provider)
Substrate (FP-Rh probe) (supplied by Assay Provider)
Tris HCl (Sigma, part T3038)
NaCl (Sigma, part S6546)
Pluronic acid (Invitrogen, part P6866)
1536-well plates (Greiner, part 789176)
DTT (Invitrogen, part 15508-013)
Due to the increasing size of the MLPCN compound library, this assay may have been run as two or more separate campaigns, each campaign testing a unique set of compounds. In this case the results of each separate campaign were assigned "Active/Inactive" status based upon that campaign's specific compound activity cutoff value. All data reported were normalized on a per-plate basis. Possible artifacts of this assay can include, but are not limited to: dust or lint located in or on wells of the microtiter plate, compounds that modulate well fluorescence. All test compound concentrations reported above and below are nominal; the specific test concentration(s) for a particular compound may vary based upon the actual sample provided by the MLSMR. The MLSMR was not able to provide all compounds selected for testing in this AID.

I forgot about this classic-
Ernest Saves Christmas
I think we'll watch it on party night too.
I think it is hysterical.
Another great Disney movie to watch is:
The Snowball Express
My Uncle's mother wrote the book that Walt Disney bought the rights to, and turned it in to the Snowball Express. Their names are on the beginning credits. Where it says based on the book by them.
Johnny Whitaker actually plays my Uncle in this movie.
It is based on my uncle's parents real life...they owned and operated Ski Resorts all over Vermont and Canada.
His father was the U.S. Good Will Ambassador to Bolivia, back when he was younger...then they retired to do this.
It is pretty awesome.
I have the movie on DVD. I highly recommend it for a winter movie.

Hello,I have a Millermatic Vintage mig welder. I want to be able to weld aluminum.It is not something I will do very often but just from time to time.I need to know what is my best way to go here and what all I need to set my welder up for this.I think i need a Spoolmatic 30a feeder and a wc-24 control box.That's a pretty expensive set up if I am correct.Or should I sell that welder and buy one already made for a spoolgun?
I work in a bodyshop and most of my welding is light duty.(just some fyi)

Aluminum welding setup for Millermatic Vintage???
A machine that is already setup for aluminum, basically just has the WC-24 already inside of it.
You'd still need the 30A spool gun. sooooo, since you already have a machine, best just to get the WC-24, and the spoolgun. Overall it'll be much cheaper to use the equipment you already have....
You have a choice of 3 spoolguns for that machine and you just need the gun of your choice and the 10 pin module.

According to their website, "The Bran Flakes are ready to turn that frown upside down, put a beat in your step, and a twinkle in your eye." The sample-based group stands out from others in the sound collage genre by sampling everything from children's cartoons to vintage commercial jingles. More interestingly, there's usually a creepy contrast between the upbeat backdrop and the subject matter as told by the voices sampled.
The Bran Flakes, signed onto sampling label Illegal Art, consists of a core duo of Otis Fodder and Mildred Pitt, with additional musicians during live performances. The costumed group extends their gimmick throughout their online presence, with their website serving as a treasure trove for procrastinators—case in point—and their YouTube page offering some pretty trippy animated music videos.

I've seen some homers in my day, but wow. Talks of getting a Garrard jersey. There's no hope for this one.
I've seen some homers in my day, but wow. Talks of getting a Garrard jersey. There's no hope for this one.
I was just wondering where you plan on keeping that jersey seeing your closet must be cluttered with your Daunte Culpepper, Ray Lucas, Chad Henne, Pat White, and A.J. Feeley jerseys?
What is wrong with being happy and tring to believe they did the right thing? What if garrard comes in as starter and we win the damn superbowl. It will never happen but you never know. Then all u haters will be garrards the best,. best pick up ever. What evs. Im kidding about the jersey but like i said I support the move. You all wanted flynn and the guy that has coached him since he started in the nfl sent him packing to seattle for garrard. what does that tell you?
Fins up!
Cause bro, everyone on this site has been optimistic about this team for years, decades even...
Every year is the same thing now. We are all tired of bleeding aqua and orange and having this team (ownership/front office/coaching) piss in our wounds.
We are in a constant rebuilding process and sure enough, just as we start to see the light of day, some ****ing egomaniac comes in and ****s up the team for 3 or more years.
Is it Garrard's fault? Absolutely not.
No QB is going to succeed in this system until we get our playmakers again.
You can't just get rid of the best players on your team unless you have plenty of other talent on the field. We don't have that, and likely it will take 2-3 years before we do again.
Time to develop a QB, time to develop WRs, time to develop your secondary.
Time to implement your new system, time to let the players buy in to that system....
And just when those start coming together......REBUILD AGAIN!!
Alot of us just can't take it anymore. I'm happy you have a positive attitude, really. But all the evidence we are seeing leads most of us to the same conclusion - another losing season and making no progress. (****, we have taken a step back.)
