This man died because of a bunch of damn selfish smokers. If you smoke in public I hope your lungs rot out before you kill any more people with your toxic second hand smoke. Thank God the people in this country are waking up to the fact that second hand smoke is bad for you. Just last week 2 more groups of citizens voted for a smoking ban so more workers are protected against just this sort of thing. My heart goes out to the friends and family of this man taken from us way too soon just so some stupid addicted slow suicides could smoke.

So, I see intelligence and reason are not you're strong points.
You wish death to someone because another has died.
Have you always been this hateful? Must suck to have to live like that,so i guess it just suck,s to be you!
#3 Nov 8, 2009
It sucks to be you- a selfish smoker who does not care that other people die so that you can indulge in your filthy addiction. SMOKE OUTSIDE- It does not get any clearer than that- otherwise, I hope that YOUR lungs rot out before you kill another non smoker with your toxic fumes. THERE IS NO RIGHT TO SMOKE INDOORS. It should be illegal all over the country. You smokinhg morns are always asking us to come up with a name of someone that died of second hand smoke- well here is ANOTHER one for you. A real person with family and friends that are needlessly grieving just some some ignorant smoker can smoke indoors.

do you have proof or are you just lying for your anti smoking agenda//Proof Please, you must have hsi complete medical records etc
Antis will even use peoples deaths to push their agenda tsk

I really do hope you die from cancer. I hope that it is long, lingering, and painful. You refuse to accept anything that does not fit into your narrow definition of smoking. You killed your mother with your toxic second hand smoke. I have just named two people that second hand smoke killed, including one by your own hands. You could not be any less responsible than if you had taken a gun, pointed it at your mother and then shot her at point blank range. Even your mother's doctor wondered how long she had been smoking. You and your cigarettes robbed your grandchildren of the ability to know their great grandmother and you are so proud of the actions that you took that led to her death. If there is any justice in the world, you will personally feel the effects of a lifetime of smoking. You know, the odds are in favor of COPD. lung cancer, or heart disease doing you in. You already have diabetes. Smoking caused that diabetes you know. Your friends, the cigarettes turned on your mother and now they are turning on you.

You actually think this man was not genetically destined to get cancer? I realize now that SHS claims are rampant, you would rather blame smokers but many people who never smoked contract lung cancer. If smokers can inhale first AND secondhand smoke and live to a ripe old age, it is reaching, at best, to blame SHS.
Think about children who are diagnosed with so many forms of cancer. Would you like to blame the smokers as well?
You are spreading your intolernace and bigotry,,,nothing more.

This is his history of exposure--from the article:
That was the first one he ever canceled, said Vernazza, who added:Norton never smoked in his life.
However, he performed for years in smoke-filled venues.
When I started playing with Norton sometimes we were on the road two or three weeks in a row and all those places were just smoke fests, Vernazza said.I quit smoking at that time and I would wake up in the morning coughing. You had to wrap your clothes up in plastic before you put them in your bag.
All so someone could smoke whenever and wherever they wanted. And the stupid, ignorant smokers look at ALL of the cases like this and claim no responsibility. Well, smokers ARE responsible. That is why smoke taxes are so high and why there are bans. We DO NOT want to inhale your crap. PERIOD. END OF STORY.
Stupid smokers just do not get it and will not get it until they are drowning in their own fluids from a lifetime of smoking. Then they don't come back. Dry Cow is gone. Her COPD most likely did her in. Al least SHE acknowledged the addiction she was having to deal with.

You are the one who killed her. Remember what the doctor said??????
How long have you been smoking?????????
And YOU laughed and called the doctor a FOOL.
You ADMITTED that right here on Topix.
On more than one occasion.
You called the doctor a fool all because YOU did not want to face the horror of having killed your own mother.
Name three??????
No. I think I will name just one.
Linda's mother may she rest in peace.

Time does indeed seem to be a pretty miserable specimen. He also doesn't know his medicine.
This is a very sad story, and I certainly feel very badly for Norton Buffalo, but what people like Time refuse to recognize is that even if one believes wholeheartedly in things like the EPA Report, all that could be said of Norton's death was that there was about an 80% chance it was NOT caused by smoke exposure.
The EPA Report claims a lifetime of exposure increases one's chances by 19%, from a base rate of 4 in a thousand to 5 in thousand after 40 years of daily exposure. If Norton Buffalo performed 7 days a week for 8 hours or so a day in smokey nightclubs, the EPA figures would say there's about one chance in five that his death was caused from secondary smoke.
That reality doesn't make his death any less sad, but it *is* sad that people like Time are so quick to jump in and distort reality just to play to their desires to control other people.

Sorry, folks, but I don't see much of a way of refuting the connection to SHS for this one.
According to someone who worked with the man for a long time, he was a "never-smoker".
Add to that his living--earned by doing heavy work with his lungs in smoke-filled venues that you whiners can't accept the idea of making smoke-free because THAT'S WHERE HIS TALENT TOOK HIM and certainly not because he chose the smoke--and the nature of his death, and I think the burden of proof is yours, not nonsmokers'.
A close friend of my brother used to run a tavern in the Midwest. He never smoked, either. He went to a specialist for respiratory problems and the doctor told him he didn't care how much he was smoking he was going to have to quit or die.
Now, if it comforts you to hear the Easter Bunny whispering in your ears about genetic predestiny, go ahead and go there. Just accept the fact that the more rational among us will call you nuts.
#16 Nov 9, 2009
He might not have smoked tobacco, but I bet he smoked tons of weed !
#17 Nov 9, 2009
Thats because your a stigmatize anti smoker. As I said, you dont know how much weed this guy has ever smoked in his life. Thats pretty much goes right along with the business.
Your brothers friend who owned a tavern didnt have an knowledge of air exchangers/exhaust fans.? Was the tavern ever checked for radon gas ?
Your just a fear monger stirring up your cohorts.!
#18 Nov 9, 2009
For what ever killed him anyone who had ever heard "Norton Buffalo" play will realize the world lost a real star. From the news story we can't tell what type lung cancer, so it's hard to say what caused it. Due to the fact his lungs were in constant heavy use when he played, and that he played in smoke filled rooms makes the odds of cigarette smoke caused cancer seem highly probable. In any case we hope he is even now playing right along with harp players in rooms with clean air. That he's giving enjoyment to all who get to hear him. >;~)

Some good ole Harp playing here.

There is no need to be sorry. And, there is no reason to add to the Easter Bunny into the discussion, either. I don't refute the claims because I smoke and I am in denial. I should have worded myself as it being "possible" that the man was genetically destined but it wouldn't have made much of a difference, would it?
Cancer is a very elusive disease. It attacks every part of the body, including the blood. Nature made have made it so that we can never find a cure, in an effort to try and control the population. We don't seem to be doing a good job on our own.

This is pretty great for a loop. It could go very well with something based on the movie Deliverance, particularly of two scenes, e.g. the one with the banjo-playing kid (doesn't have to be a parody) and you know, the one scene that made the movie stand out (cough-Squeal like a pig!-cough) and would have to be used as part of a black comedy-based parody because otherwise, the music wouldn't fit. That would be a hoot if this theme was used like that.

People get angry about Zach Braff. First there was the backlash against the hugely popular "Garden State," his first feature; backlash that seemed out of proportion with the film itself. And then, 10 years later, came Braff's crowdfunding campaign for his second feature, "Wish I Was Here," co-written by Braff and his brother Adam. Braff had been unable to find anyone willing to give him money so he turned to his fan base. In 48 hours, the film was fully funded, which speaks volumes about the love his fans have for what he does. But, again, that campaign launched a library of worried and sometimes angry think-pieces about crowdfunding (should it be used by famous people, especially someone like Braff who is so well-paid for his television work?), the state of movie-making, and all things Braff.
While there were some good points made about the problems with Braff's situation, the rage again seemed out of proportion (at least to this observer). If Kickstarter had been around when Cassavetes had to stop production of "Opening Night" in the middle of filming because he ran out of money and had to run around begging for more cash, it is not impossible to imagine Cassavetes going that crowdfunding route. It is also not impossible to imagine that Orson Welles would have set up a Kickstarter campaign instead of having to spend his time wining and dining "hustling semi-Armenian Russians" to give him money to complete (or even start) his projects. Not that Braff is comparable as a director to Welles or Cassavetes. But, as Braff said, in a recent interview with RogerEbert.com editor Brian Tallerico, "The system is broken."
He wanted to make the movie he wanted to make. Kickstarter helped him do that. So what about "Wish I Was Here"? Any good?
Yes. It is good. It is sincere, funny, thoughtful and spiritual, often poignant, and with a deep strain of existential worry running underneath the whole thing. The worry is not eradicated at the end. But maybe the characters can find a life that suits them, that pleases them, in the midst of worrying about what it all means. At its best, "Wish I Was Here," (the title alone expressing the disconnect so many of us feel about actually experiencing the minutia of our own lives) is all about that. It doesn't break new ground, but it is a personal film, something audiences are hungry for, with Braff's particular spin on the universe. "Wish I Was Here" is a good story with interesting characters, thoughtfully told.
Aidan Bloom (Zach Braff), is a harried and harassed father of two kids, an unemployed actor, still auditioning for bit parts on series on the SyFy channel. He could be the character in "Garden State," only 10 years down the line. Aidan's wife Sarah (Kate Hudson) works for the L.A. Water Department, and endures sexual harassment from her cubicle-mate, but she is the bread-winner in the family, and can't quit. Their lives have been set up to support Aidan's dream, a dream that is slowly dying, but Aidan can't let go of it. And Sarah is losing patience with the entire situation.
The pressure cooker of the Bloom domestic drama is intensified by the presence of Aidan's father Gabe (Mandy Patinkin), who has learned he is dying of cancer. Aidan's father raised his two sons Aidan and Noah (Josh Gad) in the Jewish faith, only to see them both fall away from it. Aidan has married a "half-Jew," protests Gabe at one point, and Gabe is mortified that Aidan isn't even man enough to support his own family. And Noah, who was thought to be a genius when he was a child, has now dropped off the grid, and lives in a trailer on the cliffs by the beach, dreaming about "becoming a blogger."
Gabe finances the education of Aidan's children, Grace (played beautifully by Joey King) and Tucker (Pierce Gagnon), paying the tuition at an extremely conservative private Jewish school. The children have embraced their Jewish identity to such a degree that Grace is looking forward to shaving her head one day and putting on a wig. Aidan refers to his children as "brainwashed matzah balls." Grace rolls her eyes. When Gabe can no longer pay the tuition because he needs the money for his cancer treatment, the kids are pulled out of their beloved school and Aidan begins a disastrous course of home-schooling.
The film doesn't quite hold together, and there are some digressions that feel pointless (the Comic-Con visit being a prime example). There is also an ongoing motif involving a spaceman running through the woods or across a desert, accompanied by a floating beeping bot, and it's meant to be representative of…a mixture of the games Aidan and Noah used to play when they were kids and a sense of approaching mortality; it's something along those lines, but it's too vague to know for sure. The spaceman sequences lack emotional reverb and don't add to what we are seeing elsewhere.
The rest of the film makes up for it, though, with good scene after good scene, allowed to play out. Aidan and Sarah sit at a lifeguard station on the beach at night, talking about their lives, trying to re-connect as a couple. Sarah, who has always had a wary relationship with her judgmental father-in-law, has a killer scene with him in the hospital, where she tells him, in no uncertain terms, what his two adult sons need from him. Both Hudson and Patinkin are incredible in that scene. There are amazing scenes between Aidan and his kids, especially his daughter. He is baffled by Grace, and wants to be there for her, and doesn't know what she needs.
The script is quite funny, with some casually tossed-off one liners that don't feel too-clever or like punch lines, but feel the way people actually talk when they are exasperated and at their wits' end. Aidan comments on a guy who drives a ridiculous vehicle: "Who drives a yellow Hummer? What … is he going to war? On the sun?" Aidan's backyard pool is empty and weed-ridden, and Aidan's father takes a look at it and says to his son, "Nice little slice of Mumbai you got back here." And then there is the bearded black-hatted rabbi, roaring with laughter about kitten videos on Youtube, or careening through the hospital hallways on a Segway, crashing into a wall in the background. Braff has a really good eye and ear for this stuff—character-based and character-driven strangeness and singularity.
There are two dream-like sequences involving Aidan and his two kids which are emotional and powerful—one happening during a camping trip and one happening during a "Karate Kid"-like rebuilding of the fence in the back yard. Both involve poetry being recited (T.S. Eliot's "Love Song of Alfred J. Prufrock" on the camping trip, and Robert Frost's "Mending Wall" in the backyard), both involve sudden slo-mo, a collage of images, the family laughing, horsing around, etc.—the beautiful moments that make up the majority of our lives. Yes, life is chaos. And people die. And we need to make amends. We need to grow up and take responsibility for ourselves. But moments like a small girl wearing a bright pink wig, standing on a diving board over an empty pool, reading "Mending Wall" to her brother and father, who are busy repairing the back fence, are the glue and the concrete that hold families together. Braff understands that, and prioritizes that in how he films these two beautiful scenes.
There is one stunning image of Aidan and his two children, each perched on a separate rock out in the desert, black-silhouettes against the dreamy lavender sunset, talking about things, like what the word "epiphany" means. There is an openness between the characters, an accessibility. It's refreshing.
The acting is excellent across the board. The music is extremely intrusive, something that was true in "Garden State" as well. Not only is it intrusive, but it is predictable: A scene plays out with no music in the background, and the actors are doing their work and doing it well. The scene is landing. Two or three lines before the ending of the scene…in comes the music cue. The timing was so predictable I could have set my watch by it. The work is already there on the screen, and the music ends up feeling manipulative when the story itself is not. It's one of Braff's "tics" and it's in full gear in "Wish I Was Here."
Annoying as that was, the story got to me. The characters got to me. Death is at the end of the road for all of us but, to quote T.S. Eliot's poem again, a masterpiece of anxiety:
And indeed there will be time
To wonder, "Do I dare?" and, "Do I dare?"
Everyone is on a quest. Everyone needs to ask, "Do I dare?" in order to make meaningful changes. We are held back from connecting to one another due to preconceived notions about what life should be like, or disappointments in ourselves and in each other, or the regular old stress of everyday life. "Wish I Was Here" shows what happens when people are forced to slow down, assess their lives, and ask the big questions; face the big moments, death, and disappointment. We are stronger than we realize.

Room was tiny but very modern and clean. Beautiful skylight-like window that opened to a view of the mountains, and let in outside air nicely.
Room was extremely small even just for two people with one backpack each. Made it a little hard to move around.
+ clean room
+ nice bathroom
+ good price
- Wifi was not free in our room, only in the lobby (why? it makes the lobby crowded and there was no mention of this on the website)
- parking only till 9AM
- breakfast not included (15 EUR each, we opted to eat somewhere else)
The bedrooms are very cozy and warm when it is a little chilly in the air. The cost is very cheap even though I used 3 bedrooms apt.
3 bedrooms apt is a semi basement room. I think the owner should add some more hotel information about it on the reservation details for guests.
The only positive aspect is the location of the hotel.
Dyrty room, old furniture, it is not the kind of hotel we have expected to finde in this area.
spacious room, nice wiew from room, free wii fii
Large, confortable bedroom, breakfast ok, good location to visit Innsbruck, but only if you have a car.
Great room with a nice check in, within walking distance of everything you need.
The hotel is located in a very peaceful, quiet and beautiful area. The relation price/benefit is good. Parking is available, as well as there is a supermarket very close which opens also on Sunday. Very close to Innsbruck. I recommend!!
The room was smelling cigarette and they should pay more attention when cleaning the bathroom. But it was not that bad.
Loved that they had on site parking. Loved the spacious and clean rooms. Steak house in the hotel was wonderful. Close to all major attractions. Very friendly staff.
Cost of parking. Cost of breakfast.
Great hotel and great Location!!!! At a reasonable price
Breakfast is nor so cheap!
great view of innsbruck, nice rooms, friendly staff.
hard beds, not the best value. It is a decent place but rooms need to be 10 euro less and the menu prices dropped by 15%. Then this would be an outstanding value.
very nice location over looking Innsbruck but at the same time very quiet just as I expected it
I liked the central location of the hotel and the availability of leisure facilities and the spa. The rooms were very comfortable and I particularly liked the spaciousness of the rooms
I found the menu in the restaurant to be somewhat limited. All the main meals were all cooked in a heavy sauce and very limited with accompanying vegetables.
We were very satisfied with the quiet and pleasant environment. The room was well equipped, we lacked nothing.
this is a real design hotel, but nevertheless very comfortable. The rooms are very large and the view opens to the mountains. The station of the "Hungertalbahn", that leads to the mountains is just in front of the hotel. The hotel staff is friendlier than usual.
the hotel is on the border of the inner city, so just a 10 minutes walk.
The room is spacious, the hotel brand new and the location excellent.
The rooms were adequate, if antiquated. We (there were 6 of us) thought the prices for dinner were way too high for the area, so we ate out. The location was good for cyclists who are going through the passes.
Loved the hotel, full of character, the owners were very kind and hospitable, the pool was lovely, loved the small details in the rooms and the breakfast, you could feel the effort they put in their hosting, would defiantly come back.
this hotel was in the best location for train travellers. Did not even need to leave the station to access the hotel.
The internet was not only not free, but expensive.
The location is excellent. Good services.

Experts at last month's World Congress of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition in Boston said the need for multicenter networks of care is a main priority in improving the digestive and nutritional health of children throughout the world.
The congress brought together members of working groups that were established in 1998 to analyze 20 areas of major importance and develop recommendations for improvements in these areas. Working groups tackled such diverse topics as HIV disease, the genetics of gastrointestinal disorders, and the effects of political environments on growth and development. Their work is the foundation of A Global Plan for the Future of the Digestive and Nutritional Health of Children, the first global effort to define children's digestive and nutritional health worldwide and outline a 5-year plan of action.

Daniel Wang
Chris Bowen
Victor Rodriguez
Born in California and raised in Taiwan, the well-traveled producer Daniel Wang has been among the most restless and classically minded members of the dance music community over the last decade. Wang made a name for himself in the mid '90s Chicago house scene with a series of playful, funky, sample-delic 12-inches on his own Balihu label, compiled on 1998's I Was a Disco Malcontent: The Best of Balihu Records. Rooted in the pioneering disco and techno innovations of Giorgio Moroder, Kraftwerk, Francois K, Arthur Russell, the releases earned Wang a reputation for being something of a dance music purist, a notion underscored by his philosophy that the whole of house music can be summed up in 200 pieces of vinyl, while all the rest are merely variations.
Later in the '90s, Wang relocated to New York City, where he forged a friendship with the similarly retro-minded Morgan Geist of Metro Area. By this point, Wang had given up on the samples which cluttered his early releases, taking his back-to-basics ethic one step further. He'd also become an avid theremin enthusiast. In 2001, Geist's Environ label put out Wang's soulful, '70s boogie-inspired album Idealism.
Given Wang's love for all things disco, he was an appropriate choice to lead off Ghostly International's acclaimed 2002 nu-skool electro comp, Disco Nouveau. He does this in style with the thumping, funky, quite cinematic Moroder homage "Pistol Oderso."

A couple of quick notes:
1. The Silverlake Jubilee Festival will be going on until 10pm which will make early arrival parking difficult so please be advised - taxi's or public transport would be best option if planning to arrive early. We will attempt to have valet set up on Myra Street entrance for convenience
2. Until the festival ends at 10pm, we will have guests enter thru the Myra Street back entrance to the bar to avoid having to go in to the festival. At 11pm we will open the regular front entrance.

VERY nice!!!
and 5 stars, OP! Wish I had it in MY front yard!!
Well, It's quite apparent that this individual is enormously misinformed. Bain Capital may have purchased stock (common equity purchased in the secondary market, e.g.: on a stock exchange(NYSE[listed]) or Over The Counter {OTC;NASDAQ}, and that's about it.
Bain Capital probably sold their shares after receiving insider info, given the types of persons who were involved with that firm. Here's what they did with their REAL MONEY:
they purchased companies, like, for example, "KAYBEE TOYS," remember them? That nice toy store in the mall that promoted a healthy non-ogolopolistic toy market? Next, they would expand! That mean's going to the debt markets and selling long term bonds (e.g.: 10 year, 5% cpn bonds). So they sell about one billion worth, and then they fail to make the coupon payments... in our world that means corprate tax breaks! But wait, before they release in a press release thay they are going to default on their bonds, we flash back 3 to 9 months in time and find Bain selling their Kaybee toys stock on the open market , knowing that the stock will be worthless, effectively trading on insder information. This is how Bain made all their money, by dumping their stock at lofty levels knowing that the stock would be trading at pennies in months after they are done defaulting on the bonds. All equity holders are then left holding the bag at that point because an insolvent company, like Kaybee, would have to sell all their property, and their toys, to an illuminati owned toys r us most likely( and at deep discounts from fair markety value -how convenient), and all of these proceeds are used to pay the debt, the bond holders, since they receive priority.
Bain cap is a corrupt scam, and so is Romney. He is going to drag us into a war that makes as much sense as 9/11 just so the country can be mobilized and we can emerge from recession... wait, I am drifting.
Bain may have invested in those companies this guys lists, but all it was - in all likelihood was a buy of a cople thousand shares. All their reall money was spent blowing companies up, but snatching profits well before the deal is done.
NEXT!!! sorry so long...
Love ya,
The S.T.

Tokyo University Develops e-skin
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Design, Misc. Tech, Science
Japan's Tokyo University researcher Tsuyoshi Sekitani and team have created e-skin. Carbon nanotubes are combined with an iconic liquid and then added to rubber. The result is that it can feel heat and pressure the same as human skin. Applications include being used in steering wheels to determine body temperature to see if the driver should operate his/her vehicle, as a mattress cover for those who are bedridden to gauge body pressure, and of course the obvious, robot skin.

They're screwed. Nobody wants their oil.They might as well anchor offshore and amuse themselves by pissing over the side of the ship to see who can keep his stream of piss solid the longest before the wind breaks it apart.
Wow, unique idea. I would have suggested that they just break out the fishing poles.
THAT is the BEST piece of advice i have heard all day. i hope they are wise enough to heed it.

Lasting for close to two decades now, the annual Serpentine Gallery Pavilion Exhibition has become one of the most anticipated architectural events in London and for the global architecture community. With this year's edition featuring not just one pavilion but four additional "summer houses," the program shows no sign of slowing down. Each of the previous sixteen pavilions have been thought-provoking, leaving an indelible mark and strong message to the architectural community. And even though each of the past pavilions are removed from the site after their short summer stints to occupy far-flung private estates, they continue to be shared through photographs, and in architectural lectures. With the launch of the 16th Pavilion this month, we take a look back at all the previous pavilions and their significance to the architecturally-minded public.
Round-Up: The Serpentine Pavilion Through the Years
Zaha Hadid Architects' Generali Tower Tops Out in Milan
Zaha Hadid Architects' (ZHA) 170-meter-tall Generali Tower has topped out at 44 stories in Milan, Italy. The Generali Tower, along with two other towers, forms the centerpiece for the CityLife masterplan to revitalize the old site of Milan's International Fair, which closed in 2005.
Through the redevelopment, which began in 2004, the site will be open "to year-round public use, with the inclusion of new civic spaces, public parks, and residential buildings, in addition to shopping areas and corporate offices, all with direct transport connections via the Tre Torri station on the line 5 of the city's metro system."
Zaha Hadid's Last Project is a Kurt Schwitters Exhibition in Zurich
Zaha Hadid's exhibition design for Kurt Schwitters: Merz opened to the public earlier this week at Galerie Gmurzynska in Zurich. In an article about the exhibition in T Magazine, senior designer and director at Zaha Hadid Architects (ZHA), Patrik Schumacher said, "It's literally the last project of Zaha, finished by her team."
The exhibition, presenting seventy works – in all media – from each period of the artist's career, honors five decades of the gallery showing Schwitter's work. Hadid's design is a reflection on the artist's well-known, but destroyed, Merzbau, a sculpture that filled the artist's workspace from 1923-1937. According to the Hadid's office, "[Merzbau was] a living, inhabited collage, ever-shifting and expanding, and this was the starting point for [Zaha's] exhibition design which pushes beyond mere random collage to embrace the unpredictable richness and the complex variegated order found in nature." The design builds on an established relationship between Hadid and Galerie Gmurzynska; Merz following in the footsteps of an earlier exhibition space designed for another of the architect's inspirations, Kasimir Malevich.
One of Zaha Hadid's Last Designs to Be Built in Chelsea
The Moinian Group announced that they had been collaborating with the late Zaha Hadid to develop a "visionary" new project for New York City. The project, at 220 Eleventh Avenue in West Chelsea, is a multi-residential apartment building with a cultural institution at street level.
This announcement comes after Zaha Hadid Architects pledged to complete all 36 projects that were in construction or design development at the time of her death, as her office continues her powerful legacy.
Sunset Strip Billboard Competition Finalists Include Zaha Hadid and Gensler
The visual identity of West Hollywood's Sunset Strip has been synonymous with billboard advertising since the 1960s. Over time, different eras have been displayed through the advertising; from the rock bands and cigarette brands of the 60s and 70s, to the highly commercialised signage of today. As part of an initiative to probe the value of this signage as both an identifier and a valuable public asset, The City of West Hollywood (WeHo) launched The Sunset Strip Spectacular Pilot Creative Off-Site Advertising Sign Competition.
The competition sought a multi-dimensional, kinetic billboard "spectacular," and attracted firms from advertising, marketing, design, architecture and engineering backgrounds. A pool of nine entrants has been narrowed down to four finalists: JCDecaux/Zaha Hadid Project Management Limited; Orange Barrel Media/Tom Wiscombe Architecture/MoC; Outfront Media/Gensler/MAK; and TAIT Towers Inc. Following public presentations in May, the proposals are now visible to the public before the jury make their recommendation later this month.

Zaha Hadid to be Remembered With Exhibition in Venice
In celebration of the four decade career of the late Zaha Hadid, Fondazione Berengo will host an exhibition of her paintings, drawings, and models at the 16th century Palazzo Franchetti in Venice, coinciding with the 2016 Venice Biennale. The exhibition will display the full range of Hadid's design work from built projects, to those under construction, and others ultimately never realized. Some of the early, unrealized work that will be represented includes Malevich's Tektonic, a bridge concept for the Thames River, which Hadid developed while she was still a student at the Architectural Association School in London (1976-77), as well Peak Club, Hong Kong (1982-83), Hafenstrasse, Hamburg (1989), Grand Buildings, Trafalgar Square, London (1985), the Victoria City master-plan for Berlin (1988), and the Cardiff Bay Opera House (1994-95).
AD Classics: Bergisel Ski Jump / Zaha Hadid Architects
Situated on the peak of Bergisel Mountain above the picturesque alpine city of Innsbruck, Austria, the Bergisel Ski Jump represents the contemporary incarnation of a historic landmark. Designed by Zaha Hadid between 1999 and 2002, the Ski Jump is a study in formal expression: its sweeping lines and minimalist aesthetic create a sense of graceful, high-speed motion, reflecting the dynamic sensation of a ski jump in a monumental structure that stands above the historic center of Innsbruck and the mountain slopes around.
Panel Discussion: Architectural disAssociation
Architectural disAssociation - A reflection on the state of the education of architecture at the AA. Open discussion inviting everyone with an opinion of the school - students, tutors and alumni alike to retrospectively reflect on the state of the AA's unit system and speculate the possible future of its education. This discussion will have no panel as it is an open floor discussion.
AD Classics: Dutch Parliament Extension / OMA
Designed shortly before Zaha Hadid left the Office of Metropolitan Architecture (OMA)—led by Rem Koolhaas—to found her practice, Zaha Hadid Architects, the proposed extension for the Dutch Parliament firmly rejects the notion that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Rather than mimic the style of the existing historic buildings, OMA elected to pay tribute to the complex's accretive construction by inserting a collection of visibly postmodern, geometric elements. These new buildings, unapologetic products of the late 1970s, would have served as unmistakable indicators of the passage of time, creating a graphic reminder of the Parliament's long history.
AD Classics: Vitra Fire Station / Zaha Hadid
Although Zaha Hadid began her remarkable architectural career in the late 1970s, it would not be until the 1990s that her work would lift out her drawings and paintings to be realized in physical form. The Vitra Fire Station, designed for the factory complex of the same name in Weil-am-Rhein, Germany, was the among the first of Hadid's design projects to be built. The building's obliquely intersecting concrete planes, which serve to shape and define the street running through the complex, represent the earliest attempt to translate Hadid's fantastical, powerful conceptual drawings into a functional architectural space.
Zaha Hadid Architects Will Complete Four Projects in 2016
Zaha Hadid Architects has 36 projects underway in 21 countries, and four of them will be completed this year. The Salerno Maritime Terminal will open later this month, the Port House, Antwerp, in September, the King Abdullah Petroleum Studies and Research Center (KAPSARC) in Riyadh, in October, and the Mathematics Gallery at the Science Museum in London, in December.
In spite of the untimely death of the practice's namesake last month, the firm has pledged to continue with its slate of projects, stating, "Zaha is in the DNA of Zaha Hadid Architects. She continues to drive and inspire us every day, and we work on as Zaha taught us – with curiosity, integrity, passion and determination."
Monocle 24 Explores Women in Architecture
Following the death of Zaha Hadid on March 31st of this year Section D, Monocle 24's weekly review of design, architecture and craft, hones in on the role of women in architecture and design. They discuss why, despite an almost 50:50 gender split in undergraduate architecture courses, women are still grossly underrepresented at senior levels within the profession by featuring conversations with two leading female architects, Angela Brady OBE and Amanda Levete. The episode also looks back over the lives of some of architecture's overlooked heroines.
Comic Break: "Sexism in Architecture"
Since Zaha Hadid's death two weeks ago, we've been thinking a lot about her legacy. Hadid's accomplishments in architecture are impressive not only because of her innovative designs, but because she succeeded in a male-dominated profession, and undoubtedly experienced sexism along the way. In our webcomic, Architexts, we use humor to cope with various aspects and stereotypes of the architectural profession, including negative ones. With our forthcoming book, Architects, LOL, we hope to share the stories--your stories--that paint a more realistic picture of the profession, rather than an idealistic one that most of us can only dream of.
Reflections on Zaha Hadid: A Compilation of Introductory Remarks
Zaha Hadid's prolific, admired, and influential body of work led to hundreds of invitations to lecture around the world. Through her contemporaries' heartfelt introductions, we can appreciate her groundbreaking architectural approach in a world which often appeared to be one step behind her ideas and enthusiasm.
AD Readers Debate: RIP Zaha Hadid
Of course, the top story in recent weeks has been the sudden death of Dame Zaha Hadid, who passed away last week in Miami. At just 65 years of age, and at the height of her powers as an architect, the news of Hadid's passing was a shock to many and unsurprisingly was met with grief from many of our readers. Read on to see what tributes those readers left, along with opinions on other stories from recent weeks.
Tributes Pour in With News of Zaha Hadid's Passing
Zaha Hadid's sudden passing has led to an outpouring of heartfelt tributes from some of the profession's most prominent figures. A "brave and radical" trailblazer, and the first woman to win the Pritzker Prize, Hadid's significant impact on the world of architecture is undeniable. She will be missed.
"We are all shocked and devastated that we lost Zaha today, a most beautiful individual, talent, leader and friend," Patrik Schumacher, Director of Zaha Hadid Architects, wrote on Facebook.
We will continue to update this link as more tributes come in.
Zaha Hadid Dies Aged 65
The Iraqi-born British Architect Dame Zaha Hadid, DBE (1950-2016) has died aged 65, in Miami, Florida. According to reports from the BBC, Hadid was being treated in hospital for bronchitis when she suffered a heart attack. Earlier this year she became the first sole woman to receive the RIBA Royal Gold Medal at a ceremony in London.
Read on for the official statement from Zaha Hadid Architects:

Old Empire of Ghis
The Old Empire of Ghis[1][2] was one of the oldest known nations and cultures in the world. It reigned supreme over much of Essos. Its founding and golden age predate that of its successor, the Valyrian Freehold, by thousands of years. The Old Empire took the harpy emblem of Ghis. It depicted a fanged woman with leathery wings for arms, the legs of an eagle, and the tail of scorpion, clutching a thunderbolt in her talons.[3]
The Old Empire reigned supreme over much of Essos while the Valyrian Freehold was still young and savage. It rose from the ancient city of Ghis in Ghiscar and grew into a military, economic and cultural powerhouse.
At its height Ghis fielded highly disciplined legions of lockstep soldiers that were reputed to be nearly unbeatable on the battlefield. The architecture of Ghis was dominated by massive brick towers and pyramids built using slave labor. Its symbol was the harpy. The Ghiscari expanded as far as Sothoryos, founding Gorosh as a penal colony.[4]
The Old Empire fell over 5,000 years ago. After the Valyrians discovered dragons and quickly rose to power, the Ghiscari wanted dragons for their own. Five great Ghiscari Wars were fought between Ghiscar and the Freehold, which Valyria won with its dragons.[5] The Ghiscari did win some skirmishes as there is a large ancient tapestry in the heart of the Great Pyramid in Meereen showing the last survivors of a defeated Valyrian army passing beneath the yoke and being chained.[1] In the last great war the Valyrians smashed the Ghiscari legions and used their dragons to burn Ghis and its pyramids to the ground. After Ghis was burned, the Valyrians sowed the fields with salt and sulfur to prevent any surviving inhabitants from returning.
With the destruction of Ghis, the Old Empire collapsed and most of the original Ghiscari bloodline was wiped out. The surviving populations of the empire rebuilt what they could from the wreckage. The outlying colonies of Slaver's Bay rose to prominence: Astapor, Yunkai, and Meereen. These cities established themselves as a hub of the global slave trade and became extremely wealthy. The island city of New Ghis was also founded.[3]
During the Century of Blood after the Doom of Valyria, the Dothraki destroyed northern Ghiscari colonies, whose ruins are now called Krazaaj Has, Vaes Mejhah, and Vaes Efe.[6]
Known Ghiscari cities
- Ghis
- Astapor
- Yunkai
- Meereen
- Hazdahn Mo
- Ghazdaq
- Vaes Mejhah (Dothraki name)
- Vaes Efe (Dothraki name)
- Ghozai
- Gorgai
- Zamettar
- Gorosh
- Main article: Ghiscari
The Ghiscari people are mongrels of a dozen races and peoples driven together by the empire and its fall. They are spread over a large area around Slaver's Bay, west of the Gulf of Grief.
Ghiscari have dense, dark amber skin and wiry hair with red highlights. Men of the Slaver Cities are known to wear their hairs teased, oiled, and twisted into fantastic shapes. They have wear cloaks of yellow with copper disks sewn on. Their tunics are embroidered linen. Below the waist they wear pleated linen skirts and sandals. The richest classes, who are primarily made up of slavers, wear the tokar and are fond of rich foods, such as dogs, octopus stew, and duck eggs.[3]
The Ghiscari culture, gods, and tongue were largely forgotten over time and the Ghiscari adopted the language of their Valyrian conquerors. Today they speak a dialect of High Valyrian.[3] The crumbling walls, stepped pyramids, and harpy statues are all that remain of the Old Empire's glory days.
The Unsullied tactics are considered a remnant of Old Ghis. They are trained to fight in the same disciplined lock-step manner and are considered the legions of Old Ghis come again.
The harpy was adopted as a symbol by all the slaver cities and their silver coins are stamped with a harpy. The Good Masters of Astapor, the Wise Masters of Yunkai, and the Great Masters of Meereen have been training slaves for generations, much as their predecessors did, and are experts at it.[3]

To get better gas MPG there's a few things you could do first check your tire psi, change the oil for a lower grade one, change your air filter, fuel filter and tune up is needed when you car is tuned properly it will waste less gas, you can also use a fuel treatment
Do you have a check engine light on? And how does your engine run? Does it feel like it is running at full power or does it feel sluggish?

Swamps and marshes absorb storms, prevent erosion, cycle water and nutrients, and provide habitat for fish and shellfish. Hundreds of thousands of acres of American wetlands have already disappeared. Here, Christopher Hallowell takes us on a tour of one of the most threatened such areas, the Louisiana delta, where an astonishing 80 percent of annual American wetlands loss takes place, mostly due to poor flood-control practices. Years of centralized planning by the Army Corps of Engineers to build up the Mississippi River's levees robbed the bayous of nutrients, which are normally deposited in the form of rich river silt. Meanwhile, rising sea levels are eating up the marsh at a staggering rate.
Hallowell is sympathetic to the intertwining of nature and culture that has long characterized this region. Oystermen, shrimpers, trappers, and hunters have wrested a living from the delta for centuries. And of, course, there is New Orleans, perilously poised between the river and gulf and thus seriously vulnerable to storms and floods. Only now are people realizing how important these wetlands are to the livelihoods of entire communities. Cajun culture, one of Louisiana's most popular exports, is rooted in the rich loam of the bayous. Hallowell's encounters with a variety of colorful characters, from a trapper named Peanut Michel to George Barisich, "the prince of shrimpers," bring out the issues of resource management that undergird the situation in a poignant way.
Much of the book looks at government efforts to stop the bleeding. But bureaucracy and dissension in the ranks still interfere with existing efforts -- which Hallowell compares, in any case, to "Band-Aids of mud, rock, and hubris" that only blunt the inexorable surge of water. His case study is really about how our attitudes towards nature are under pressure as we bump up against the carrying capacity of the New World. From other coastal ecosystems like the Chesapeake Bay to the deserts of the Southwest, "the cornucopia is emptying" -- and hard choices requiring compromise and sacrifice are needed if we are to continue living on this land.

Crop Biotech Update: Special Editions
BEIJING (13 Apr 2015) — Since 1996, 2 billon hectares of arable land – a massive area more than twice the landmass of China or the United States – have been planted with biotech crops. Additionally, it is estimated that farmers in up to 28 countries have reaped more than US$150 billion in benefits from biotech crops since 1996. This has helped alleviate poverty for up to 16.5 million small farmers and their families annually totaling about 65 million people, who are some of the poorest people in the world.
"More farmers are planting biotech crops in developing countries precisely because biotech crops are a rigorously-tested option for improving crop yields," said Clive James, founder and emeritus chair of ISAAA, who has authored the ISAAA report for the past two decades. "Despite claims from opponents that biotechnology only benefits farmers in industrialized countries, the continued adoption of the technology in developing countries disproves that" James added.
