In Defense of Small-Town Life

Jim Manzi is an excellent writer, and you can find both his Corner posts and original essays at The American Scene.
I don't know that a need to refocus on local community is so much a conservative/liberal thing as a necessity whatever side of the political/social aisle one finds themselves on. If there's one thing my work in government-based social services is teaching me, it's that the community makes a mistake in trusting that government can meet its needs -- whether we're talking poverty or security -- when the focus is on state/national level discussion. - 6/6/08, 4:07 PM
- Tom Van Dyke said...
James, it's my observation that those on the left [not necessarily liberals, mind you] see government and society as synonymous.
Those who lean to the right [not the fascists, mind you] see government as attending society, government being an artificial abstraction of society, which itself is basically organic.
So when Barack Obama sees "community organizing" as more a political activism thing than an organic and decentralizing one, I get the willies.
Outside of his foreign policy philosophy, this is at the heart of my reservations about him, that all things are political. - 6/6/08, 5:40 PM
- James F. Elliott said...
I recommend reading "Reveille for Radicals" by Saul Alinsky. It'll both broaden your mind a wee bit, and give you a good indication of where Obama is coming from. It's community organizing with an emphasis on channeling resources, which usually, now, come from government.
- Tom Van Dyke said...
Um, James, I'll rely on you for a summary. Aristotle is sitting on my to-do pile. I sort of get the gist.
I say this because I did a benefit with Lou Grant, who brought in a piece with Himself playing Saul Alinsky in his life story. I played bass while he spoke-sang. Very artsy.
But you seem to agree that Obama's view of "community" is political. This is not good, in my view. - 6/7/08, 6:53 PM

Rest Time
Thank you for visiting my blog. I hope you have enjoyed catching up on some of the things I have been making and teaching this year.
Wishing you all a
Christmas and safe holiday time.
My studio will be closed until
2011 and I will be
a rest from blogging until then too.

me and visit us for some beautiful hand made Christmas gifts...
1-4pm in Kensington WA
for details
Thank you to everyone who visited me at Perth Upmarket and Fremantle Bazaar.
Here are a few photos taken at the two markets...
This is Tanya Cain-Abbs from
Old Grey House
and me at Fremantle Bazaar on our "Clay & Cloth" stall. We had a lovely few days selling our wares at the relaxed and beautiful Fremantle Art Centre.
Perhaps I should have also taken a photo of the stall on Sunday afternoon, as there was not much left!
These photos where taken at the Perth Upmarket. It was a very warm day, but that didn't stop the Christmas shoppers. My decorations sold like hot cakes and so did my new Floral Ware. It is so nice to get the immediate feedback from people buying my work from the markets. It is very affirming :)
A special thank you to Justine from Perth Upmarket and Marcus from Fremantle Bazaar.

Yesterday's tip about romance got me to thinkin'. I think a part of my reticence in becoming romantic was a fear of failure. It really does take work to know and understand your spouse (there are differences in gender, life experience, personality and more) and the road will include the occasional failure. And when you're as bad at is as I am, it's a pretty daunting kind of challenge.
My encouragement to y'all (and to myself) is to be bold. Romance your guy and keep on romancing him. Yes, you will miss the mark now and then (probably quite a bit at first), but you learn as you go along. In the long run your husband will feel known and loved.
Knowing is not enough; we must apply! Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Be generous! Lori <><

Social media is still in its infancy, and many business executives still don't understand how to Ieverage it for their organizations, large or small. They're too focused on the talking, and not focused enough on the listening.When I speak, I often begin by asking my audience, "How many of you know at least one executive who doesn't fully understand the business value of Twitter?"
Sure enough, the entire audience raises their hands. Then I tell them about my experience in Las Vegas three years ago.
I had been standing in line to check in at Las Vegas's then-trendiest hotel in town, the Aria, for nearly an hour. I was exhausted and frustrated after a 6 hour flight from New York, and just wanted to get to my room and rest. The last thing I wanted to do was waste an hour of my life waiting in line.
Frustrated, I did what any social media nerd would do - I pulled out my phone, and tweeted the following:
"No Vegas hotel could be worth this long wait. Over an hour to checkin at the Aria. #fail"
Unfortunately, the Aria wasn't listening, and didn't tweet back to me. But a competitor was listening. Just two minutes later, I received a tweet from the Rio Hotel down the street.
Now at this point, if you're anything like most executives I've shared this story with, you're thinking, "What did the Rio tweet - "Come on over, we have no line here" or "Call us, we have a room for you!"?
Had the Rio tweeted something like that to me, I would have thought two things: First, "Why are you stalking me?" and second, "Why is it wide open at the Rio when it's jam-packed and happening at the Aria?"
On the contrary, the Rio Las Vegas tweeted the following to me:
"Sorry about your bad experience, Dave. Hope the rest of your stay in Vegas goes well."Guess where I ended up staying the next time I went to Las Vegas?
The Rio hotel earned a $600 sale on the basis of that one tweet. But the story gets even better, because I gave the Rio a "Like" on Facebook, and a few months later, I got a message from a friend on Facebook. My friend Erin asked, "Hey, I'm having a family reunion in Vegas this New Year's, and I saw you liked the Rio's page. Do you recomend them?"
I wrote back to her, "Well, the Rio isn't the newest hotel in Vegas, or the nicest - but I'll tell you one thing - they know how to listen to customers." She booked the Rio for 20 guests that day.
One tweet from the Rio, and one "like" from me led to over $10,000 in revenue for the company.
No executive that's heard or read this story could argue that the Rio's message was a marketing or sales message, eiither. All they did was use social media to listen, and then show a little empathy to the right person at the right time. An ad, or a push-marketing-like message from the Rio, simply wouldn't have worked. But their ability to listen, respond and be empathic did work.
The Rio was listening on Twitter by tracking keywords of their competitors, and of the word "Vegas". If you work at a hotel, you can do the same. If you work at a law firm, try listening by doing a Twitter search for the words "need a lawyer". Or if you work for a recruitment firm, try a search for the words "We're hiring."
Whatever your organization does, you can find your customers and prospects on Twitter, Facebook, blogs, and everywhere on the social web, by listening for the right words.
The one thing every business executive must understand about social media:
The secret to social media success isn't in talking - it's in listening.

4. Tell a girl it's okay to get angry and to express it in a healthy way.
5. Tell a girl you'll assist her efforts in leadership by offering to help raise funds, driving her to and from meetings, and pitching in on letter-writing campaigns.
6. Tell a girl there is no such thing as Prince Charming and that most women will need to work most of their lives to be financially secure.
7. Tell a girl she should gather as much information as she can from many reliable sources before she makes an important decision.
8. Tell a girl it is never her responsibility to make other people feel happy, loved, or secure, and that saying no is always an option.
9. Tell a girl about the mistakes you've made and what you wish you had done differently.
10. Tell a girl to think in terms of nutrition, health, and strength and to banish the word "diet" from her vocabulary — and tell her you will do the same!
11. Ask a girl what she finds interesting and troubling in the magazines she reads.
12. Ask a girl about her favorite television shows — what roles does she see girls and boys/women and men play? What roles would she like them to play or are missing?
13. Ask a girl what she wants to be when she grows up and talk about what she can do to reach her goal.
14. Ask a girl her point of view on current events and listen actively while she tells you.

Thousands of holidayers from the Baltic states and Great Britain have a more comfortable and easier access to winter skiing in the High and Low Tatras. Poprad-Tatry airport launched new air routes to Riga and London.
Holidayers can thus enjoy a complex offer of services in the High Tatras, including accommodation, skiing and various additional services. The Tatras have a big advantage - the transfer to the nearest hotels takes only 10 minutes and more, which might be the envy of various Alpine destinations.
Enjoy the best active relaxation in the Tatras!

Having them watch a video, and then introducing the design challenge was a mistake. What I should have done is present them with their design challenge first, then showed them the video. That would make the video important background information they would need in order to complete their challenge successfully. This would have made the video relevant to the task at hand.
Instead, I made the common mistake of thinking I need to teach them everything first, and then give them a project at the end.
I find Main Course, Not Dessert to be a very instructive article on the topic.
Seed Dispersal
Lesson 7 of 12
Objective: SWBAT identify structures that improve seed dispersal and use the engineering design process to modify a seed to improve dispersal.
As I usually do, I had my students write the focus question, "How can you use the engineering design process to improve seed dispersal?" in their science notebooks.
Next I showed them a brief video on seed dispersal. I decided to use this video over the FOSS video because it is concise and engaging. As they watched, they had to write down a definition for seed dispersal and 3 ways plants disperse their seeds.
After the video, I presented them with their engineering design problem. Their task was to improve the seed dispersal of a bush bean.
Next, I had each student choose a challenge, make the seed float, glide at least two meters, get propelled at least one meter, attract an animal to eat the seed, or stick to an animal passing by.
Their constraints were that they could only use the materials they would receive in a bag (scissors, glue, construction paper, cotton balls, craft sticks, and rubber bands), and what they found in the environment, and they would only have half an hour. I brought them out to an enclosed drainage basin behind the school.
In this video, you can see that I'm helping them identify a point of weakness in their design so that they can make improvements.
When time was up, I brought everyone in, and gave each group an opportunity to present their creations. For some reason, maybe just a rough day, there were a lot hurt feelings and frustrations, so after each group shared, I had them answer the following questions in their science notebooks:
- What challenge did your group have?
- What would you have done differently if you did it again?
Some chose to write about group dynamics, and some took it very literally in respect to the lesson, like this Student Notebook Sample.

We stayed at Nicki's carriage house for a weekend and was really wonderful. She was welcoming and so kind as to to make us an amazing frittata and apple cake...which was absolutely fabulous. Lovely stay. Highly recommended!
Mihae2014-10-20T00:00:00ZWe had a wonderful second stay with Nicki. There were 5 of us and very comfortable, especially with all of the new additions (ie more pool chairs) and tweaks (ie rearranging some furniture) Nicki made. Nicki generously stocked the fridge again with some essentials, provided a lot of bbq/poolside tableware and even made us delicious welcome snacks. We took advantage of the "sun room"/extension of the living room and it was comfortable enough for all five us to sit around the table for a meal when it rained and breakfast in the morning. Can't say enough - we will be back again!
Fahima2014-09-02T00:00:00ZThis is a beautiful place to stay and Nikki, the host, really does make it special. The fridge was well stocked and it felt just like home. You will be surrounded by art and books in this cozy, comfortable space. Others here have gone into more detail on what makes this place special, and I agree!
Frank2015-10-27T00:00:00ZWhat a wonderful experience! Nicki went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and at home. She is so kind and is the type of person you want to stay in touch with. We loved the art that can be found all throughout the (URL HIDDEN) truly like a museum! What a treat and unique carriage house experience in a beautiful setting.
Heather2015-10-07T00:00:00ZWe had an amazing experience at Nicki's place. She was extremely helpful and accommodative, we couldn't have asked for a better host. The place is lovely and relaxing. We'd definitely recommend it to anyone.
Lalit2015-10-22T00:00:00ZNicki and the Carriage house were simply amazing! Two of my best friends went up for a weekend escape and couldn't have asked for more. Nicki welcomed us with cheese, crackers, jam, and logs already stacked in the fireplace. She had great recommendations of where to go nearby and the location was great (only 75 mins outside the city). The house was filled with incredible original art and gallery room. Perfect place for at least 4 people.
Joshua Caleb2014-02-25T00:00:00ZIf I could give this house 10 stars, I would. Nicki's carriage house is exactly as it is described - stunning! Minutes from lake Carmel, beautiful location, right off the road - yet secluded. I did tell Nicki this - photographs just don't do it justice. As Nicki led us inside, we walked through a private art gallery (we got to enjoy it every day, the works are absolutely worth checking out), into the living room with a fireplace, couch and leather lounger, then a small dining room, then into the kitchenette and the 2 bedrooms. We were 4 people, and the apartment was more than enough for us. Yes, the kitchenette was rather small, but we brought our own cooler and Nicki was very kind to lend us hers as well. We cooked every day, used the grill outside for BBQ and the fire pit for fun and never felt like we were missing anything. Nicki had made sure that we had all the dishes, cooking gear and utensils. She even brought us frittata and a salad - what an amazing host!!! When it rained for a whole day, she shared some of the board games with us (there's plenty!) and we spent the day playing and one-upping each other :) The pool was the centerpiece of entertainment - so clean. and large. and deep enough to feel like you are actually swimming and not just soaking in it. We came back happy, relaxed and with a nice tan. I would recommend the host and her property to anyone who is looking for a relaxing weekend or maybe even a week away from the city. We will definitely come back soon!
Galina2014-07-08T00:00:00ZWe visited Nicki's converted carriage house for a long weekend to get away for our anniversary. The downstairs apartment was exactly as listed, including the wonderful fireplace. We ran into a minor, unforeseen issue prior to arriving, but Nicki handled the problem and then some. She is a very kind and gracious host. She provided us with a homemade frittata and other snacks to make our arrival very welcoming. I'm not surprised at all that she is a Superhost. The location is great as well. Not too far from the local favorites and very close to Beacon. It was a quick an easy trip from the city. We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend here and would definitely stay at Nicki's again in the future. Hopefully we'll be back in the summer to take advantage of that pool!

We had a very nice time at Jonathan and Amy's. The apartment is very clean and tastefully decorated. It was super easy to communicate with our hosts and they were exceptionally welcoming and friendly. Definitely recommended!
Deborah2016-02-11T00:00:00ZJohnny and Amy were gracious hosts and the house excelled the expectations I had from seeing the listing photos. We loved the character and thoughtfulness of the interiors and the history of the home. Beds were comfy and the area was fun to explore. we hiked, ate well and enjoyed the local community charm. We'll be back if we can!
Liz2016-09-28T00:00:00ZJohnny and his family were wonderful hosts! They have a lovely, well-cared for space, that was thoughtfully prepared for our arrival. They were happy to answer any questions we had and easy to reach in order to plan our trip. It was a great experience overall!
Sara2016-04-21T00:00:00ZJonathan has a beautiful property in a lovely area of New York. He is a very accommodating host, eager to assist his guests & even leaves fresh flowers in the guest room. His apartment should not be listed under "entire house" as there is no door to close off the attic apartment from the rest of the house and no kitchen facilities in the attic. The bathroom is very small with a sloping ceiling, such that it is hard for a man to shave in it. I was also unable to use the shower without getting considerable water outside the tub, which had apparently happened before. Otherwise the apartment was satisfactory.
Lynn2016-07-21T00:00:00ZThe apartment was magnificent and Jonathan and Amy made us feel so at home! We were in South Salem photographing a wedding, and wanted a place that was close by. Jonathan + Amy's apartment was perfect. It's private (with it's own little entrance), super stylish and comfortable. They were the right mix of giving us privacy, but also were kind enough to host us in their home for a night cap! I couldn't have asked for better hosts!
Lauren2016-06-08T00:00:00ZThe apartment was clean, neat, and well-appointed. The grounds were marvelous! It was a short stay, but everything was as expected and quite lovely.
Dominic2016-06-14T00:00:00ZWe had a wonderful stay at Jonathan's country apartment. His Wife Amy was very sweet and their 2 kids Oscar & Jasper were extremely friendly to my 3 1/2 year old son. Their 1795 colonial was gorgeous and the upstairs apartment was very cute and stylish. Johnathan was a great communicator and gave us some fantastic tips on what to explore in the area. We would definitely recommend the experience.
david2016-09-08T00:00:00ZJohnny's home was like a fairy tale house. There were white tail deer and green lush meadows, stone steps, and a beautiful drive up. The apartment was ultra clean, spotless, and more beautiful in person. It's actually a much larger space than I envisioned. The furniture is beautiful and the bed is very comfortable and lush. More importantly, Johnny is a true host. He was emailing and messaging us along the way and made sure we knew how to get there. He gave us a tour of the space and an intro as to how to use things. He is of another era. Great host.

We had a great sleep, which was much needed since we were delayed! The matress was comfy, the kitchen very useful. We appreciated thewfforts made to accomodate us at a later hour than planned. All in all a nice quiet studio, in the forest, nice owners, and great price value.
Manon2015-10-14T00:00:00ZWe had a lovely time staying at Tommy's cute place over Labor Day weekend. There were lots of nice touches such as fresh flowers, a feather duvet and lots of types of tea! Tommy was very approachable and helpful and just next door if needed.
Jonathan2015-09-11T00:00:00ZTommy and Gerry were very welcoming and just as helpful. They are fine hosts. Present but unintrusive. We are happy to recommend them for those desiring to locate in Northern Westchester.
Don2015-09-25T00:00:00ZMy wife, our son and I had a wonderful stay at this comfortable, cozy apartment. Sometimes pictures don't do a place justice -- in this case, it was the opposite -- the pictures were very inviting, and the apartment itself even more so! Gerry and Tommy were great hosts -- helping us with arrival on a dark, rainy evening -- and had some holiday wishes already waiting for us on the dining table. This was a great find, exactly where we needed to stay, and we hope to stay with them again in the future!
Paul2016-01-05T00:00:00ZIk heb een geweldige tijd gehad in de gezellige woning van Tommy. Het ligt op een prachtige plek en vanuit elk raam kijk je op bomen uit. Tommy en zijn vrouw laten je helemaal thuis voelen en staan voor je klaar als je vragen hebt. Ik was er voor werk maar heb mij heerlijk kunnen ontspannen op deze plek.
Patty2015-10-11T00:00:00ZThe place is exactly as described -- cozy and clean with a beautiful backyard. We had a peaceful and comfortable stay at Tommy's apartment!
Shuchi2015-12-04T00:00:00ZTommy was very friendly and accommodating. He had no problem letting me and my girlfriend check in early to fit our itinerary. His place is warm and wonderful. Perfect for a getaway in a beautiful wooded area of NY. We will be staying again!!

This adorable cottage is adjoined to a grand place with loads of history, owned by the most thoughtful and kind hosts! My family and I (we have two small children) were greeted with such warmth, we felt as though we'd known Anita for years within moments. This was our first Airbnb experience and everything was perfect. The cottage is adorable, clean, homey & comfortable with that 'rustic' feel that you want to have when you visit the countryside. Everything you need is there - towels, soaps, kitchen appliances, laundry appliances and more. There is a back patio equipped with outdoor furniture and a fire pit to enjoy, and a breathtaking view of the gorgeous mountainous landscape that surrounds. The proximity to towns, shopping and Bear Mountain Nat'l Park is ideal and Anita provides her guests with plenty of information (incl local magazines) to get you acquainted with the area. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. We were sad to leave and wanted to stay much longer! Will definitely book again!
Cory2016-09-21T00:00:00ZThis apartment is spacious and filled with historical charm.The place feels like a small house and is fully equipped. Anita and Peter thought of everything from a well considered bounty for breakfast, to installing a baby gate for our visit. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and are already planning another visit next summer.
Jason 2015-08-30T00:00:00ZWe had a great time at Anita's cottage. Both the house and the grounds are picturesque. All of the small details, from the breakfast foods to the fine soaps, made us feel like we really experienced a unique visit to the Hudson Valley. Be sure to take a hike, as the property backs up to local trails. If only we had time to stay longer!
Mitchell2015-08-09T00:00:00ZAnita's country cottage was perfect for staying nearby to Boscobel. Anita was very responsive to a number of questions and requests, even during our stay - especially since the weekend was unexpectedly hot. We loved the well stocked fridge with breakfast items, the cute private garden with bunnies munching on grass, and the kid friendly accommodations (safety gate at top of stairs, high chair). Highly recommended.
Reno2016-06-01T00:00:00ZAnita's house location offers lots to do in the area: hiking, dining, museums, etc. In fact, we could have easily stayed a couple more days. The pictures and descriptions are all very accurate. It's an old victorian (great gables on the upper level), and while the bathrooms and kitchen were a bit funky and hodgepodge, it still offered a very comfortable stay. There is plenty of architectural charm in the place, a lovely courtyard, and a lots of quietness. You can't go wrong staying at her house! We'd go back in a heartbeat. She also is so considerate with nice linens, soaps, a stocked fridge, and great communication. Thank you for a memorable stay! On one last note, we brought our two small daughters (who can be cranky), and Anita welcomed children-- even fussy ones!
Catie2015-09-23T00:00:00ZOur stay at Anita ´s lovely cottage was very nice. Anita and her husband were here to welcome us and to give us the keys and some tips. When we planned our trip, we asked her a few questions and she was very responsive. My two little boys, my husband and I really enjoyed our stay.
Bernadette2016-09-08T00:00:00ZWe loved our stay at the cottage! For us, it was relaxing and peaceful. There were great hiking trails right out the back door. Anita was a wonderful host, greeting us when we arrived. She had some food in the refrigerator for us. She also had information about local hikes and other activities to do in the area. The pool was an added benefit. We hope to return some day, and would highly recommend this cottage as a quaint, quiet getaway in the Cold Spring/Garrison area.
Susan2015-08-09T00:00:00ZWe stayed here while attending an event at West Point. The location was perfect and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Anita was a wonderful hostess and made sure everything was ready for our visit. She greeted us upon arrival and gave us a tour to make sure we knew where everything was that we might need during our stay. The list of local places to shop, eat, and visit was very helpful as well. We found the authentic architecture and aging of this home a fun change of pace: a sloping floor in the kitchen, narrow steep stairs and wood framed windows that were difficult sometimes. While the bathrooms are adequate, the shower is quite small and may be a problem for tall people. The WiFi worked well but the signal was weak downstairs. The signal was strongest in the bedroom with the twin beds. The provided TV had cable and Chromecast installed and was easy to use. The grounds and the surrounding country was beautiful.

What a wonderful stay close to everything while being hidden and quiet. My wife and I stayed here for our 1-year anniversary and it was perfect and peaceful. Close to Cold Springs and Beacon with many many dog friendly restaurants and stores. Ted and his wife were very helpful with suggestions, quick to respond to questions, and even stocked the home with snacks and home baked goods. A very enjoyable way to experience the Hudson valley area.

Jampa2016-11-06T00:00:00ZWonderful cozy apartment with a great view! Easy to find and super friendly! Frankie went out of her way to make us comfortable, with coffe and cream ready for the morning! Very communicative, easy to find and a super comfortable bed!
David2016-10-31T00:00:00ZI really enjoyed the apartment, I wish I could live here! The bed is comfortable, the apartment is clean and more spacious then I expected. I loved the claw foot tub in the bathroom. I had a relaxing stay and the host was communicative and incredibly hospitable.
Holly2017-01-01T00:00:00ZThis was my first visit to Washington Depot, and Frankie was a kind and gracious host. She was responsive and helpful, both in the trip planning stage and during our stay. When an issue arose with the water line - one she couldn't have anticipated - she went out of her way to ensure we were still comfortable and had everything we needed. I would definitely stay there again if I have the chance to return to the idyllic town.
Chela2016-10-24T00:00:00ZFrankie's beautiful & private apartment was perfect for our two day trip to the Washington area of Connecticut. It is located just outside of the depot & is peaceful & quiet. It is a great place for both short & long term stays while exploring this beautiful part of Connecticut. We will most certainly stay again!
Maggie2017-02-01T00:00:00ZGreat location with pretty views of the surrounding hills. The unit was larger than expected and lots of windows which was a bonus for us...loved seeing out across the valley. The unit is basic in furnishings(photos are accurate, no TV though, just VCR monitor) but for an extended stay, its spacious and it fit our needs perfectly. Frankie is easy to get a hold if you have any questions or concerns.

"Julie's apartment was very comfortable and perfect fit for the people who likes to enjoy being inside the nature; with total peace and quiet, away from the noises of traffic. She is a good host towards her clients. Plus, her house is near to a really good diner and with a short hike, you can walk up to Lake Waramaug".
Sinan2016-04-30T00:00:00ZJulie was a wonderful host with a very comfortable and peaceful home. Julie was very flexible and easy going about our somewhat unpredictable schedule, and made coming and going very easy and smooth. The place was warm and inviting, full of personal touches and the feel of a well taken care of family home. It was very clean and the setting was also beautiful and idyllic (though we unfortunately didn't have time to take a advantage). By far the best deal for great quality in the area!
Romy2014-07-01T00:00:00ZThe apartment was lovely; we really enjoyed it! It's cozy, comfortable, and in a beautiful setting. Julie was a fantastic host and made sure we felt right at home. Will definitely stay here again.
Morgan 2016-06-13T00:00:00ZJulie was a wonderful host...we came and went as we wanted with no problems at all. The private entrance is a plus! I never heard Julie the entire weekend and we slept like a log both nights we were there. It was like we were at home. We will certainly use this listing next time we are in the area.
Ron2014-06-10T00:00:00ZJulie was an amazing host. The place was well kept and she was even sweet enough to leave some orange juice and coffee out for me. The apt is as advertised with its private entrance. Julie was very accommodating even calling to make sure everything was to my liking. I would definitely book this place again when around the area. Thank you for a great experience.
Jose2014-07-26T00:00:00ZThe house was as described in the website, it was a beautiful 200 years old house with a garden surrounded by very tall historic trees. The only problem we experienced was poor ventilation of the house, but after we let Julie know she was very responsive and acted immediately to sort it out. The location was perfect both with respect to its close promixity to Lake Varamaug which is a heavenly spot where we have spent many hours hiking, enjoying the scenery and to picnic and to our son's boarding school in Washington.
Sinan2014-09-11T00:00:00ZJulie's place was very nice! She was so welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed. Her house is a short walk into Preston and a short drive to Washington Depot, the two towns we visited on our trip.

As a mother to two toddlers, I am very grateful that Skye and Cruskaia welcomed us for an extended stay in their lovely abode. They were accommodating in every way, which alleviated much of my worries while transitioning to a new home. They afforded us every consideration while here, and even gave toys to my children as gifts. The highlight of my children's stay here was playing with their lovely children…we appreciate that they included them in their adventures! The apartment is clean and well maintained, well stocked, and most importantly - safe for my children during the stay. They became quite comfortable rather quickly… and perhaps a little too much so! Thank you for a worry-free and refreshing stay!
Emily2016-04-15T00:00:00ZI stayed three nights at Cruskaia and Skye's place. I traveled with my niece and nephew and was met by my parents the second night. The apartment was clean, and comfortable and had all the creature comforts. Five of us stayed, two in the bed, two on the pull out couch and one on a twin mattress that Cruskaia and Skye provided. I would totally recommend their place, it's in a beautiful area and Skye and Cruskaia are very good hosts.
Sarah2016-10-02T00:00:00ZMy boyfriend and I decided to take a last minute trip and were so glad we picked this place! We had the most delightful time:) Our hosts were extremely gracious , and the place was impeccably clean! The property was beautiful with a private entrance and front yard to ourselves! It was fun walking around and exploring nature, and we found the kitchen fully equipped to make ourselves dinner. The homemade ice cream in the freezer was a delicious highlight ! Would definitely recommend, and bonus feature is the beautiful Buddhist monastery 10 mins away!
ayesha2015-11-15T00:00:00ZWhat a spectacular find! We were thrilled with the space, the pristine way it is maintained, and the privacy it offered. Knowing we were bringing a baby, they set up a pack-and-play and high chair before we arrived. There was free homemade ice cream in the freezer, there were clean towels and washcloths in the bathroom, and even a first aid kit in case we needed it. It is clear that the owners go out of their way to give their guests a comfortable stay, paying attention to every detail.
John Bayard2015-12-27T00:00:00ZCruskaia and Skye were very open and accommodating. I received a quick tour of the space, including the sharing of some delicious homemade ice cream. The space is beautiful, cozy and inviting. The full kitchen worked out well, I did a fair bit of cooking during my stay. Very attentive to my needs, there were multiple instances where items were offered and provided to make my stay more comfortable. The location and neighborhood is quaint and peaceful, and relatively secluded with close proximity to public parks and business establishments. And only a short distance from Southeast station which allows public access to New York City. I really had a wonderful time and hope to visit again!
Michael2016-02-29T00:00:00ZCruskaia and Skye's apartment was absolutely amazing. As hosts, they were extremely welcoming and kind. If we had any questions about the apartment or the area, Cruskaia and Skye responded quickly and were very informative. The apartment itself was very clean and well equipped (toaster, washing machine, DVD's, coffee maker, towels, delicious homemade ice cream and much more). The area around the apartment is gorgeous! Very peaceful and perfect for a vacation getaway. This apartment comes highly recommended.
Chase2016-02-11T00:00:00ZTo put it simply, we are going back. Everything was as expected . They did everything to make as feel welcomed.
Joanne2016-10-31T00:00:00ZThis is a nice option if you are in the area. There is a private entrance to the apartment also.

Robert and Regina's place looked exactly like the pictures that they posted. They were very accommodating and responded immediately to emails and texts. The location is perfect if exploring the hudson river's historic mansions, FDR's estate and library, the walkway over the hudson, and the other attractions that the hudson valley has to offer. There's also very good restaurants nearby. All of the Amenities listed were provided with ample towels, pillows, and blackets. There is a small dog in the complex that barks occasionally, he/she really only bothered us one morning out of the 5 that we were there but just an fyi to future airbnb'ers. Other than that, everything was perfect!!
Krysten2016-12-13T00:00:00ZAbsolutely wonderful stay! Robert & Regina communicated well, and the place was very nice! Bringing a car would be helpful to get to food places easier, but other than that, a great stay!

It has been a real pleasure to stay at Karen's little one bedroom apartment for my transitional housing situation. It's cozy without feeling cramped, tastefully and comfortably furnished, and well located to have just the right blend of solitude and convenience. Karen and Alan are gracious hosts, with a genuine interest in making their guests feel welcome and comfortable. I couldn't have concocted a better opportunity if I were able to.

MattKaren's place was fabulous - although it was a private room, it felt like an entire apartment. There was a ton of privacy and a lovely living room to relax in in addition to the nice bathroom, kitchen, and bedroom. Karen went above and beyond her hosting duties and provided us nice recommendations for places nearby to visit as well as food and drinks in the fridge upon arrival, which were delicious and definitely appreciated! We definitely recommend this place to anyone who would like to get away and enjoy the lovely natural scenery that Carmel provides.
Nikki2016-10-28T00:00:00ZMy boyfriend and I wanted an escape from city life and Karen's home fit the bill. It was a great location, not too far from the hustle and bustle of Manhattan, but far enough where you feel you're at a retreat in the country. Karen was extremely responsive from the beginning and flexible in terms of check in/out times. The property itself is perfect for one or two people with nice size rooms, and all the amenities you need. It is a new apartment and was very clean. There were a couple of quirks with the TV and shower but Karen was always available to answer any questions. There were many nice welcome treats to make us feel at home as well, and make the stay extra special. The best thing about this property is the land, and Karen's obvious knack for gardening/landscaping. It is a stone's throw away from a beautiful lake and many outdoor activities. I highly recommend the the Chuang Yen Monastery located just a 12 minute drive away for a unique and peaceful experience. The only downside was that both my boyfriend and I are allergic to cats and while we didn't see any during our stay, their presence was known in the apartment, as we had some reactions. If anyone is allergic, I would recommend bringing some medicine. We had a lovely time regardless, thank you Karen!
Christina2016-10-10T00:00:00ZKaren was very nice and did a great job of making me feel welcome and at home. The lodging was spacious and comfortable. A beautiful area of lakes and small towns.

My husband and I loved Ashley and Aaron's place! It was spotlessly clean and in a quiet, yet central location. There were so many little touches that made our stay so welcoming, including a note to us on the chalkboard door of the closet, snacks and coffee, and lots of great towels and blankets. They responded promptly to all of my emails and were flexible when my plans slightly changed. They offered a restaurant recommendation when I needed it. I can't say enough good things about this experience! We will definitely stay there again when our travels take us back to Poughkeepsie.
Michele2017-03-07T00:00:00ZAshley and Aaron were great! Space was very comfortable. Will stay again in the near future.
Carol2017-02-15T00:00:00ZAshley was super accomodating and helpful, offering lots of suggestions for places to eat and things to do. The apartment is cute and has everything you need for a weekend or more.
Melanie2017-02-07T00:00:00ZAshley and Aaron are new Air Bnb hosts but their commitment to making it the best experience for their guests is evident. The apartment is in a quiet and safe neighborhood (about a 5 minute drive from the Vassar campus). It's beautifully decorated with vintage furniture (that Ashley restores herself) & other contemporary pieces. The place really feels like an extension of their own home (which is right next door), beautifully curated and cared for. They're super helpful with tips about Poughkeepsie and the neighboring towns. I'll be back! Thank you Ashley and Aaron!
Elizabeth2017-02-28T00:00:00ZAshley and Aaron's home is clean and welcoming. I felt very safe in the area and was given everything and more that I needed as a business traveler away from home. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone who is looking for a home away from home during a business trip or a relaxing get away.
Linda2017-02-23T00:00:00ZAshley and Aaron were awesome and extremely communicative though the entire process from pre check in to check out. They host an awesome, affordable , and extremely comfortable unit, they even wrote some welcome notes on the wall and table which was very welcoming. 10/10 would recommend and I will be back when the opportunity presents itself.
Kelvin2017-03-01T00:00:00ZAshley and Aaron's apartment was really nice - well-equipped and clean with a super-comfy bed. Seriously, I had two nights great sleep! Ashley was helpful and communicative.
Jaana2017-02-24T00:00:00ZWe thoroughly enjoyed our three night stay! The location is absolutely perfect for anyone visiting the Hudson Valley Region - so very close to everything you would need (gas station, drug store, coffee shop, restaurants, shopping) or want to visit (historical sites, outdoor adventures). The privacy and quiet residential setting were wonderful :) Everything was absolutely perfect! A driveway parking spot, a nice path around the side of the house to the private entrance in the back. The space had everything we needed - a spacious living area with comfortable seating, Smart television, small dining table with chairs, kitchenette (with sink, fridge, microwave, coffee maker) with coffee and fixings, plus a wonderful assortment of fresh fruit and snacks! The bedroom has a super comfy bed and great closet space. And a nice bathroom (with tub & shower) with so many different toiletries provided! The entire space was decorated so beautifully, with little touches that make you instantly feel welcome :) This spot has absolutely everything you need for a short or long stay! Our hosts were friendly and accommodating. 100% satisfied. And a hearty recommendation to anyone thinking of staying here!

Mindy2017-01-01T00:00:00ZWe had such a lovely stay. There was yoga in the morning and the natural light in the studio allowed for a great work space. We'd definitely stay again!
Jenny2017-03-05T00:00:00ZYou guys were lovely hosts and treated us very well. It was the perfect place for the two of us and what were looking for as a couple.
Nathan2017-02-14T00:00:00ZWonderfully quiet and off the beaten path, but close to all the amenities of nearby towns. The space was clean, naturally well lit and very comfortable. There were many options to relax, read, draw or simply think. I only wish we'd planned to stay longer!
Lana2016-12-31T00:00:00ZPhil and JoJo were great hosts that provided us with everything we needed and took the time to show us around the local area. The space was perfect for a weekend stay and even nicer than the pictures looked. Lots of natural light, tons of art books, and great decor. Would recommend to anyone.

Larysa and Bill were lovely hosts. Their house is in a very cute neighborhood just a minutes walk from Main Street in downtown beacon, but it feels like a suburb. We were their first guests, but it didn't show. The room was very clean, had a separate keyed entrance as promised, and an amazing bathroom with a VERY luxurious spa/bath. Bonus points for that. The room has its own deck overlooking their backyard and garden. They even clipped fresh sunflowers for the room and the deck. Very responsive, kind and thoughtful hosts; my fiance and I will definitely look to stay with them again next time we need to escape Brooklyn.
Ben2016-09-26T00:00:00ZLarysa was very accomodating to our early arrival time and adjusted accordingly which was very appreciated! The house is located within walking distance from the main downtown areas of Beacon and an easy 20 minute walk from the train station. The room was as pictured - minimal but tasteful and very sunny.
Nadia2017-01-13T00:00:00ZAmazing! I booked this for my parents and they loved it. Larysa was a great host and very easy to talk to. My parents said the place was super adorable and they loved the bathroom! Next time I'm in beacon i will definitely stay here!
Georgina2017-02-09T00:00:00ZLarysa and her husband were wonderful hosts. The room was divine. The jacuzzi was awesome! All of their recommendations were helpful and we had a great time! They really gave us a comprehensive guide to Beacon and we highly recommend their space.
Noah2016-11-17T00:00:00ZLarysa was a great host! She provided a list of recommended local spots as well as clean and quiet accommodations close to town. Would highly recommend :)
Gina2016-12-12T00:00:00ZLarysa and Bill were so nice! We went for hike and it started raining and Larysa texted me offering to pick us up (I unfortunately missed the text and we just hiked back and got soaked). The space was great and perfectly central: about halfway between Dia and the other end of town, which has a lot of good restaurants, interesting boutiques, and (a bit further away) the Mt. Beacon trailhead.
Ritchie2016-10-30T00:00:00ZLarysa was amazing! Very accommodating, quick communication, and the place was clean and quiet. Also the location was perfect. Only 1 block from Main Street where we found plenty of delicious food and little shops to explore.

We enjoyed our stay at Beacon, and Josh's place made the experience all the more cozy and memorable. The apartment is beautiful, with great natural light, and location is spot on.
Natalie2017-03-12T00:00:00ZThis is a beautiful apartment with an awesome rooftop deck and fantastic views. It was clean and comfortable and Josh was an excellent host!
Alyse2017-02-26T00:00:00ZJosh was a great host, informative on the area and very discreet. The apartment was clean and incredibly pleasant. It's conveniently located in the very center of town. Quinn's is right down the street which is a fantastic little spot with ramen and live music. Perfect spot for a couples weekend retreat. Will definitely stay here again.
Stephen2017-01-07T00:00:00ZAmazing place. Weekend getaway was way better than expected due to the Josh's apartment.
John2017-01-15T00:00:00ZJust as advertised. Great location, very clean, and Josh is a great host. Additionally, there is a specialty donut shop located beneath the apartment that was the most delicious thing I've ever consumed. Overall a great place to spend a weekend.
Lexi2017-02-05T00:00:00ZVery sweet and lovely apartment with an awesome rooftop deck that overlooks downtown Beacon. It has everything one needs for a comfortable stay - I loved the very clean, light, airy, and minimalist aesthetic. It's a fabulous location in downtown Beacon and walkable to everything. Josh et al were really great--easy to work with and were excellent and responsive hosts. I'd definitely stay here again and would highly recommend it.
Yong Chan2017-01-03T00:00:00ZGreat spot, with wonderful natural light! Everything was clean and welcoming. The bed was comfy. I particularly appreciated the little chocolates on the towels put out for us. Josh's place was definitely within walking distance of the train, but we took cabs back and forth because of the luggage. That being said, we did do the longer walk to Dia: Beacon. Not bad at all! You can also walk or take a cheap cab ride to Mount Beacon Park for fantastic hiking and views. The apartment is very central to pretty much everything you might like to do in town. Would definitely stay again!
Danielle 2017-01-23T00:00:00ZThis place is perfect for a couple's quick getaway. It overlooks Main Street, is one block from Quinn's (we love Quinn's) and has the ideal little rooftop patio. Thanks again Josh

(EMAIL HIDDEN)2016-06-18T00:00:00ZThe apartment was nice and was as advertised. Great location and comfortable. I'd recommend that people stay here for a quick and easy getaway to a nice, relaxing place!
Scott2016-04-27T00:00:00ZEverything was as described. Communication was great! The little apartment is quiet in a beautiful road, very close to the train. I highly recommend this place.
philippe2016-07-10T00:00:00ZI spent a long weekend here with my sister and it was perfect. We had an amazing time exploring Cold Spring doing a little bit of shopping and hiking. The space is a very charming studio-sized apartment. The decorations like the books on the nightstands and the pictures on the walls really gave the space a nice welcoming feeling. The apartment is the perfect size for 2. We also brought along my small-ish dog (14lbs) and we had no issues with her being there. The fully stocked kitchen was fantastic for us because we ended up cooking breakfast and lunch, then going out to restaurants for dinner. We took the Metro North from NYC to get there and it was a very short walk. It's also minutes away from Main Street, so you get the quiet of being in a residential area but the convenience of being in walking distance from all the stores and restaurants. We also went on small hikes in the West Point Foundry Reserve which was also literally minutes away. Everything you need to have a great time is within a 5-10 minute walking radius! There were renovations going on in the main house as stated in other reviews but it never bothered us at all or impacted our stay. It was very quiet and we had our privacy. We only briefly met Lara's husband but he was a very kind and friendly. I would definitely stay here again!
Cat2016-07-29T00:00:00ZWe had an overall great stay here. The listing was accurate, and the location (5 min walk to Main St/train) couldn't have been more convenient as we took the train up from the city. Our host Lara was hands-off but accessible if needed. Would definitely recommend!
Tiala2016-08-29T00:00:00ZListing was accurate. The space was a walking distance away from town and close to hiking trails.
Sara2016-08-22T00:00:00ZThe apartment was just right for a couple's getaway to Cold Spring. It was close to downtown and even closer to the train station. The kitchen was well-equipped for any cooking we would have wanted to do. In general the apartment was comfortable, clean, and modern, and Lara and her family were immediately receptive to our needs and requests. However, we wouldn't necessarily recommend it for a winter stay. The space heaters managed to keep it warm, but the floor remained icy cold! For warmer months, though, we would recommend this for sure!
Alden2016-03-14T00:00:00ZLara and her husband were warm, welcoming and provided helpful info about local restaurants, the neighborhood and nearby hiking trails. The apartment, located an easy walk from Main Street, was large and well maintained, complete with air conditioner. The one area of improvement is that the apartment could have been cleaner, but other than that, we loved our two-day stay and would definitely return to Cold Spring.

Kayleigh2017-02-05T00:00:00ZPatricia is very friendly and helpful. She did her best to make sure we had a smooth arrival. Her place is cozy and homy and very convienivent for dining. Close to West Point, breakneck trail and woodbury outlet as well. Highly recommended for a weekend getaway
Jingnan2017-02-20T00:00:00ZWe can't thank Patricia enough for her beautiful cozy home. My husband and I stayed for 2 nights to visit West Point and take a break from the city. We had an amazing stay! We will definitely be coming back.
Sherlane2017-01-25T00:00:00ZWe had great stay with Patricia's family. They are very warm and kind to us. We want say 'THANK YOU' . I highly recommend this host.
Jim2016-10-15T00:00:00ZPatricia made us feel so welcome--she made us (delicious) breakfast every morning and was available to help us in any way she could. The room was nice, private, and comfortable. We especially enjoyed the giant tub (and the heat). She was eager to give us suggestions on things to do--hikes, museums, etc. She was a fantastic host. We had a wedding to attend at the Cadet Chapel on West Point, and this location was perfect. We were so close to everything--West Point, Garrison Station, the location of the rehearsal dinner--all for a really fair price. As a side note, this place gets bonus points for Bruno, Patricia's loving, cuddly dog! It was so pleasant to get puppy love if we wanted it (and I always do want it).
Jessica2016-11-15T00:00:00ZIf you have an event at West Point or anything else in the neighborhood and want a comfortable place to stay with a most attentive host this is the place to stay. You have the whole third floor with a comfortable queen sized bed with a fluffy duvet. Two sinks with good lighting, private toilet and jacuzzi tub. You also have access to a large bathroom with shower, breakfast was served in a comfortable kitchen. Wifi is available and works in the upstairs bedroom. You are walking distance to bars and restaurants and the South Gate of West Point.
Mieneke2016-11-21T00:00:00ZPatty's guest space is quite spacious and attractive. It has a separate heating unit which you control. The bed is wonderfully comfortable. The tub is gigantic! Patty is an enthusiastic hostess and her efforts to make your stay as comfortable as possible are evident. She even gave me homemade chocolate chip cookies for my long drive home! I used Patty's place as a base for visiting relatives in Garrison. It is also near some wonderful hiking spots as well as the site of the Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival: Boscobel, and the architectural gem: Manitoga.
Bette2016-11-27T00:00:00ZPat et son mari sont de hôtes plus que parfaits. Attentionnés, marrants, et plein d'énergie. Nous avons passé une superbe nuit dans cette magnifique chambre avec tout le confort nécessaire et une très grande baignoire. De loin notre meilleure expérience airbnb. Patty and her husband are more than perfect. Considerate, funny, and energyfull. We spent a wonderful night in this wonderful room with all comforts and a very large bath. Definitely, our best airbnb experience.

Although we arrived 1/2 hour early (traffic was on our side that day!), Jackie and Brett were ready for us and the property did not disappoint. The space was fantastic - clean, comfortable and convenient - exactly what we needed. There was a lovely bottle of wine waiting for us as well as a stocked pantry and fridge.
Kim2016-09-12T00:00:00ZGreat stay, was welcomed very warmly by Jackie and he apartment had everything we needed for a great weekend. I would highly recommend this stay to anyone looking to get away.
Andrew2017-02-19T00:00:00ZThis has to be the best AirBnB experience that I've ever had, start to finish. Jackie and her place are fabulous! I went for a day of relaxation, just to unplug, and it was perfect. Jackie was responsive and flexible, even taking the time to answer specific questions I had about the local eateries. Her place is superbly finished with beautiful furnishings and great little spaces for eating, working and lounging. It felt very open and airy to me, with lots of natural light and privacy. Everything was super clean, the pantry was stocked and there were even meal choices that could be prepared. It was just perfect and I look forward to visiting again. Thank you, Jackie!
Darin2016-12-09T00:00:00ZWonderful place. I will be staying here as often as I can.
CALVIN2016-12-04T00:00:00ZCozy and charming. All new amenities. Wonderful natural light enhanced by two skylights. Quiet. Cul-de sac in a residential neighborhood. Ideal for running. Hosts are extremely considerate. I highly recommend!

I definitely recommend others who are interested in staying here and I would look to stay here again in any future trips to Beacon.

Full Product Description
Father Anthony Duncan's classic text, The Christ, Psychotherapy and Magic is a daring admixture of Christian orthodoxy and the magical elements that swirl around it. His unifying perspective on occultism, particularly the Qabalah, shows how it can relate to the practice and faith of Christianity in a positive and affirming way. Although there have always been shadowy connections between English churchmen and the lodge mysteries it is rare for an Anglican cleric to confront this nexus head on, and with such explorative clarity. The book has been read and taught in conjunction with Gareth Knight's Experience of the Inner Worlds, and both texts sprang from the two authors' sharing of ideas and resultant friendship at Tewkesbury. Remarkably, both mystic and occultist found common spiritual and ideological ground, not least in the hermetic ideas of the Qabalah, which this book explains in refreshingly clear detail.
The Christ, Psychotherapy and Magic by Anthony D. Duncan was published by Skylight Press in August 2012. The ISBN for The Christ, Psychotherapy and Magic is 9781908011510.

text: The 700 HP, 225 MPH, All-Carbon RUF CTR Isn't Built Off A PorscheTom McParland3/07/17 11:34amFiled to: Geneva Motor Show2017 RUF CTRRUFPorscheSinger16725EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalinkPhoto Credits: RUFLong before Singer and other outfits were reimagining classic Porsches, there was RUF. Now the standalone automaker has unveiled what looks like a restomod 911 but is actually a completely unique, all-carbon fiber car on its own (not-Porsche) platform with 700 horsepower and a top speed of 225 mph.AdvertisementIn 1987, RUF created the legendary CTR "Yellow Bird." It had a twin-turbo motor with 450 hp and topped out at 211 mph. It's now 30 years later, and RUF has set another monster upon us with a striking similarity to the original CTR. However, unlike all its other creations, RUF says that the fully carbon fiber body is completely bespoke and shares no components with any Porsche.While the body may be all original, the motor is a twin-turbo 3.6-liter, water-cooled Mezger engine (that's a Porsche designation for those not familiar with the legendary engineer) with a total output of 700 HP and 649 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual gearbox and the car only weighs 2640 lbs. RUF says a the CTR should sprint to 60 in 3.5 seconds and top out at a staggering 225 mph.The CTR sits on the signature RUF five-spoke wheels, and the retro theme continues on the interior with round-face gauges that and a three-spoke steering wheel that reference the original Yellow Bird.AdvertisementOnly 30 copies will be made with an estimated price of 750,000 Euro or approximately $793,000. According to Road and Track, RUF is recognized as an automaker by both the NHTSA and EPA, so there is a good chance that a few example of the new CTR will end up in the States.Recommended StoriesWe're Still Fascinated With The RUF YellowbirdPathetic Super Expensive Sports Car Tops Out At Just 176 MPHMeet The Master Craftsman Who Makes The Engines For Singer's 911sTom firstname.lastname@example.com is a contributing writer for Jalopnik and runs AutomatchConsulting.com.

Abstract: | With the development of building information modeling (BIM) tools over the last 20 years in the construction industry, greater use has been made of multi-dimensional models throughout the entire construction cycle. Whilst most BIM applications have focused on either four-dimensional (4D) or five-dimensional (5D) technology, the Construction Virtual Prototyping Laboratory (CVPL) in The Hong Kong Polytechnic University incorporates all possible dimensional technologies in an integrative computer-based platform known as Construction Virtual Prototyping (CVP). This platform, which supports the design and construction of buildings in a virtual environment, was customized from the DELMIA solution produced by Dassault Systemes for simulating manufacturing processes. The aim of this study was to develop an integrated framework and process for applying CVP to help project teams to improve the constructability of the design, the feasibility of construction methods, and the accuracy of construction scheduling. The primary research methodology adopted in this study was action research, which is an iterative inquiry process that consists of planning before the action, applying the action, and reviewing after the action. This study undertook the following three-cycle iterative process: (1) development of an integrated framework for applying CVP, (2) application of the framework to a real construction project using model simulation, and (3) reviewing the framework based on responses from a number of project participants. The integrated framework for each cycle of the research process was developed by coordinating various participants and their roles in the real project, collecting project-related information according to the project's delivery process, and integrating factors such as time, cost, quality and safety. The definitive framework that evolved from the iterative process is the study's main contribution to the body of knowledge. It enables contractors to experiment with various construction methods in a virtual environment before deciding on the best method for a particular project. The research also contributes to the body of knowledge through the identification of a new profession dedicated to simulating project processes. The role of this so-called 'process modeler' would be to convert conventional two-dimensional (2D) drawings into three-dimensional (3D) models and to develop construction process models in order to allow contractors to simulate different construction processes before deciding on the most suitable one for a particular project. The scope of work and skill set of a process modeler are clearly explained in the thesis. The study found that the integrated framework based on CVP technology improves collaboration efficiency between main contractor and sub-contractors by approximately 30 percent, with a concomitant 30 to 50 percent reduction in meeting time. It was also found that the most important benefits of CVP in the construction planning stage are improved accuracy of process planning and shortened planning time, whilst during the construction implementation stage the benefits are facilitation of fieldwork instruction and reduction of rework. |
