E-Mail: firstname.lastname@example.com: WH 248
Dr. LaGier earned her master's in marine biology from Florida International University and her doctorate in molecular immunology from Brown University. She completed post-doctoral work at Yale University School of Medicine, supervised a division of biodefense for the Department of Homeland Security and was appointed a Research Assistant Professorship at the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute to investigate corneal clarity after LASIK surgery. Prior to coming to FGCU, Dr. LaGier was a Biologist at the Environmental Protection Agency developing whole animal models to study the physiological effect of air pollution on the respiratory and cardiovascular systems.Teaching Interest: Currently, I am team teaching Biology I with laboratory and I am the lead instructor of Cell Biology with laboratory. I would like to develop a vision (sensory) science course and/or an environmental toxicology course for upper division undergraduates and/or graduate students.Research Interest: In recent years, rising oil prices, diminished energy security and climate change have encouraged the United States to reconsider the fuels they use in internal combustion engines, particularly those found in cars, trucks and buses. In 2005 (the Energy Policy Act) and again in 2007 (the Energy Independence and Security Act), the US Senate and Congress passed laws promoting the increased development and production of alternative and renewable fuels. However, before an alternative motor vehicle fuel can be manufactured for sale or introduced into commerce, the fuel must be first registered by the US-Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in accordance with regulations set forth by the Clean Air Act.In 1990, the Clean Air Act was amended to require stringent health-effects testing that because they involve long-term animal testing, are time-consuming and costly. My research focuses on developing a high-throughput, in vitro method to screen alternative fuel exhaust(s) for living organism toxicity ("the SAFE LOT method"). Without this type of simple in vitro screening, alternative fuels with a toxic profile would unnecessarily undergo the lengthy and costly, two-tier, in vivo testing protocols required by law.My "SAFE LOT" project uses science to solve a practical problem and as such is transitional and applied. Alternatively, during the development of my "SAFE LOT" method, I have made several observations that are serving to develop projects based on the scientific method.

Chen will conduct large-scale research projects, develop young Chinese scholars and, and enhance Johnson's reputation and connections with partner schools in China
Ya-Ru Chen, Nicholas H. Noyes Professor of Management and academic director of China initiatives, won a prestigious 2014 National Talent Award in management from the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security of the People's Republic of China. This award is designed to draw the best global talent in a specific area, those who will lead breakthroughs and drive the development of new talents and new knowledge in a given domain in China. Past recipients of this award include Jeffrey Lehman, former president at Cornell, and experts in a wide variety of areas, such as aerospace, life sciences, finance, and agriculture.
Chen's award incudes a five-year research grant to study and provide recommendations for addressing growing labor-management disputes in China and the leadership challenges of Chinese firms, as they go global.
"After miraculous economic growth over three decades, China has obtained a new position in the world market; as a result, Chinese companies face new opportunities as well as new challenges," Chen said. "The research grant is not centered on education programming, but rather is aimed at supporting study of the vital management and leadership issues confronting Chinese firms and leaders in their domestic and international environments".
Chen was nominated for this National Talent Award by Nanjing University. Johnson has enjoyed a 10-year partnership with Nanjing Business School, which sends its executive MBA students to the Cornell University campus for a general leadership program each year. The program has grown and flourished under Chen's leadership.
Chen will use this significant research fund to conduct large-scale research projects, develop a group of young Chinese scholars and doctoral students, and enhance Johnson's reputation and connections with partner schools in China.

Watch One Direction Perform at BBC Children in Need Telethon
Subscribe to PopCrush on
One Direction are great at giving back. The band performed on the BBC Children in Need telethon last night (Nov. 16), aiding the charity in raising money for disadvantaged children in their homeland of the U.K.
The band sat down for a chat before their performances, in which they revealed Louis Tomlinson is the bossiest and Zayn Malik is the laziest. (The latter doesn't surprise Directioners much — he's said this himself more than once, and he loves to nap!)
1D performed their lead single from 'Take Me Home,' 'Live While We're Young,' as well as their second U.K. single, the acoustic, Ed Sheeran-penned ballad 'Little Things.' If the backdrop on the television screens during 'Live While We're Young' looks familiar, it should — it's the same patterns and icons used when the group performed on the U.S. 'X Factor!'
The telethon raised roughly $42 million for underprivileged kids, and featured performances not just from 1D, but also from Little Mix, which hosts Zayn Malik's girlfriend, Perrie Edwards.

Smith, Patti. Just Kids
Just Kids is about Patti Smith's relationship with Robert Mapplethorpe with a focus on their early years, when Smith was in her early twenties and fresh to New York City. But it is also so much more. It is a story of love and friendship. It is a story of the New York artist community during the 1970s. And it is a meditation on what makes an artist, as well as a meditation on life and loss. Even if you are primarily a fiction reader, you will adore this book because it contains all the elements of great fiction. Patti Smith's writing is eloquent and insightful, and the 2010 nonfiction National Book Award she received for Just Kids is well-deserved.

16. New York Giants (8-
Manti Teo, MLB, Notre Dame I really like the reigning Super Bowl Champs but everybody in their division is going to be better, making it much tougher for them to sneak into the playoffs and go for a nice run at the perfect time yet again. The Giants always seem to have issues at linebacker but Manti Teo should fix a lot of them. He is the premier linebacker in this draft and possesses and incredible skill set that will translate to the NFL.
Let's start with the reasoning for the prediction : "everyone in their division is going to be better". Why aren't the Giants going to be better? What did the other teams in the division do that makes you believe they are suddenly going to be better, and the Giants aren't? It's something I hear a lot on ESPN as well, and it just seems like really lazy reasoning.
Linebacker has been an "issue" for the Giants for what, 5 or 6 years now? In that time period the Giants haven't gone below .500 and have won two Superbowls. Maybe it's time people stop telling Jerry Reese that he needs linebackers....

If the Chargers make the playoffs, more than likely AJ Smith's job is safe - translation: No matter how God awful Jeromey Clary plays or continues to play, the Chargers won't draft any OL in the 1st round. It hasn't happened under Smith or his mentor John Butler and there's no reason to believe that's changing anytime soon unless a new head of the front office is in place (or Clary is directly responsible for Rivers getting injured which would likely cause us to miss the playoffs, ipso-facto AJ's gone anyway along with Norv).
WR may be a place to look, as you mentioned, depending on how the current corps pans out. Malcom Floyd comes off the books in 2013 and with the money tied to Meachem, it's likely the only way we'd be bringing in a #1 WR if Meachem fails to be that (as much as our system requires a true #1, since our top receiving option as long as he's healthy will continue to be Gates) is to draft one.
CB will be definitely an area to look at. Antoine Cason will be an FA and needs to prove something in a contract year to merit an extension. Quentin Jammer is getting up there in age and will need a successor sooner than later. Also consider that under AJ the majority of our 1st round picks have been defensive players and a large amount of our Rds 1-3 draftees have been DB's. With the free agent turnover (barring a notable FA signing), it's a safe bet we take a CB in one of the first two rounds of 2013.
OLB is another sneaky pick. Yes, we just selected Melvin Ingram, but we have 3 OLB's hitting free agency in 2013 and 1.5 of those (counting Barnes as half a starter since Jarrett Johnson will technically be the starter due to running downs, but Barnes will be primarily used as the pass-rusher in that rotation) will be starters. Melvin Ingram's early selection likely points to Shaun Phillips not being renewed unless he comes back on a very team-friendly deal (see Jacques Cesaire/Luis Castillo) or unless Ingram just flops something harsh (and even then possibly not).
Simon isn't likely to be athletic enough to play LB, but Mingo if he's there is an obvious choice in value and need - and Brandon Jenkins isn't far behind if he continues on the pace he's been on. Milliner I do like, better so than I do most Alabama DB's (though that still doesn't account for much - Saban's DB's have just given me too many past precedents to be confident in them), thus I'd honestly prefer Banks (better press-man guy) - but your mock, you're free to determine prospect value as you'd like.

The most likely scenario for the 49ers would be going Defensive back early in the draft. Carlos Rodgers is getting up there in age, and Dashon Goldson has a high probability of walking in free agency if he has another good season. So safety, or corner are the best bet. Though you never truly know where a team will go.

If the young Steeler CBs don't take a step forward playing opposite of Taylor then I could see the need for a cornerback in the first round. I still have faith that someone will emerge this season from Keenan Lewis, Curtis Brown, or Cortez Allen though.

I like your pick for the Lions.
I'm not sure what their stance is on the LB position after targeting a few guys later in the draft recently, but an upgrade at the LB position with a first round talent would do wonders for the progression of the defense. A talented guy behind Suh and Fairley would be a huge piece for the future. Hopefully they can find a way to upgrade the secondary as well.

3. Minnesota Vikings (3-13)
David Anderson, CB, NC State The Vikings could have gone three different ways in the 2012 draft but choose to address the offensive line. While that was the right decision it isnt going to help them stop the incredibly strong passing offenses that Green Bay, Detroit, and Chicago (now with Brandon Marshall) will have in 2012 and it leads to another very disappointing season. David Anderson will give them a big time playmaker back there.
While this is (possibly) the right pick, your explaining it for the wrong reason. The Vikings DID address the defensive backs drafting S Harrison Smith in the first round and CB Josh Robinson at the top of the third round. Plus, Antoin Winfield is now healthy, and Chris Cook is in a mood to prove that he can hit wide receivers and hard as he hits his girlfriend. (too soon?) The reason this is the right pick isn't because they didn't do anything to address the NFC North's vicious passing attacks, it's because Antoin is getting old and plays nickle corner alot because he can't keep up with players like Greg Jennings, Megatron, and whatever worthless receiver plays for the Bears (I know it's brandon marshall, but it doesn't matter because cutler is a whiney little baby, and their o-line is terrible, so cutler is going to get injured before week
Anyway, Anderson is great, he has the size and ability that we need. Josh Robinson is a speedy cover corner who will easily match up against any speed threat (hester, cobb etc) and Cook is big (6'2") and physical. The game he played against detroit really showed that he has the chops to cover Megatron successfully. If you watched the game, you'll see that Chris Cook made several brilliant plays against deep passes to Calvin. I know that there isn't a corner in the world who can shut down Calvin, but taking away 2-3 big plays can really change momentum. Antoin is getting old and will need to be replaced. Getting another big physical CB is exactly what the Vikings need, and now that our O-line is (should be) secure, we can focus on getting the DBs wrapped up. The only thing that is lacking is a true ball hawk, which is why I'm hoping that Matthieu can fall to the top of the 2nd round. We can grab him and put him at FS next to the hard hitting Smith as a true ball hawk, and we can finally get some picks. Wow, that's a lot of rambling. Besides, it's 9 months away... I'm getting too carried away.

-J. Travis
What is it about certain men that set hearts aflutter? Is it strong arms? A killer smile? A six pack tummy? A tender heart? Or maybe a rock hard tush that you just want to slather in butter, chomp on and cuddle up to whilst sleeping?
Whatever it is, fantasizing about men and what they are like in bed is a favorite past time of my girlfriends and me. Sometimes I'm a romantic, dreaming about a passionate night with a classic leading man like Clark Gable. Other times I'm a cougar with a Zac Efron fetish. Or, just for kicks, I imagine what it would be like to take money from Charlie Sheen and send him off with a smile. (We've all had moments thinking we should get paid for it.)

Rashaad Reynolds Intercepts Pac-12 Honor
Oregon State University cornerback Rashaad Reynolds has been named this week's Pac-12 Conference Defensive Player of the Week, it was announced Monday.
The senior cornerback from Pacoima, Calif., intercepted two passes, forced two fumbles and made six overall tackles in Oregon State's 52-24 win over Washington State last Saturday at Martin Stadium in Pullman.
Reynolds is the fifth Beaver to be honored this season, joining two-time recipient quarterback Sean Mannion, cornerback Steven Nelson and placekicker Trevor Romaine. The five league honors represent the most in the Pac-12 Conference this season.
Oregon State is riding a five-game win streak and seeks to become bowl eligible this Saturday when it takes on the California Golden Bears in Berkeley at 7:30 p.m. on 1190 KEX & Fox Sports Radio 620.

#1: Help! I have dry hair.
I have been sealing with coconut oil and sleep on a silk pillowcase but I wake up with dry hair? I use apple cider vinegar to wash my hair and I just did a bentonite clay treatment. I did a protein treatment a few weeks ago and my hair is still dry. What is the issue?

Statement by Ambassador Wittig in the Security Council on the protection of civilians in armed conflict
(As delivered)
Mr. President,
Let me thank our briefers of today for their valuable contributions.
Germany aligns itself with the EU statement to be delivered later on.
Today's debate on the Protection of Civilians in armed conflict comes at a crucial moment. Only last week the International Criminal Court announced its intention to indict three Libyan officials it holds responsible for organized crimes against humanity perpetrated against civilians in Libya. Following the landmark Security Council resolution 1970, this is an important step in enhancing accountability for violations of international law and to ending the so-called "culture of impunity".
Regarding "responsibility to protect", let me be clear: It is first and foremost the responsibility of each state to protect its civilian population from violence. However, blatant disregard of this obligation may have consequences for those responsible - this is a message that applies not only in Libya. It goes beyond Libya.
Mr. President,
Civilians continue to bear the brunt of the violence in armed conflict. Recent events in Cote d'Ivoire and Libya re-confirmed this in a tragic way. The indiscriminate and excessive use of force against civilians in all its various forms cannot and must not be accepted by the Security Council and the international community at large.
Let me briefly touch upon some of the other situations of concern to us.
First on Syria: We are deeply shocked by the violence and the brutality of the internal repression against unarmed and peaceful protesters orchestrated by the Syrian authorities. The use of tanks and heavy artillery against the civilian population in Daraa, Baniyas and other cities are deeply worrying. The Syrian authorities clearly stand at a fork in the road. We strongly urge the Syrian government to end its military repression against its own population and to respect human rights. Those responsible for the killings should be held accountable.
In order to make this message clear, we have worked for the European Union to impose restrictive measures against Syria and against persons responsible for the violent repression. These measures have come into force today. The ongoing violence and the regional implications also require that we continue to address the situation in Syria in the Security Council.
On Afghanistan, we remain seriously concerned about the intolerably high number of conflict-related civilian casualties. The large majority of them are caused by indiscriminate attacks by the Taliban, Al-Qaida and other violent armed groups. We would also like to take note of the continued progress made by Afghan and international forces in minimizing civilian casualties.
The situation of the civilian population in Somalia, remains a cause of grave concern, as are the ongoing activities by the Lord s Resistance Army, in particular the abduction of children, in parts of the Democratic Republic of Congo , southern Sudan and the Central African Republic.
On Sri Lanka, Germany welcomes the report of the Panel of Experts. The report reiterates the need for accountability in Sri Lanka. The findings of the report should encourage the Government of Sri Lanka to set up a credible investigation and accountability process. We urge Sri Lanka to closely co-operate with United Nations in this regard.
Mr. President,
Since the last open debate on protection issues in November last year, the Security Council has further developed its comprehensive normative framework on protection issues. We note with appreciation that already four out of the current seven United Nations Peacekeeping Operations with a protection mandate have developed comprehensive strategies for the protection of civilians.
Mr. President,
Heeding the call of our President and for the sake of brevity I shorten my written statement and conclude by drawing the attention of the Council to one group of civilians with particular protection needs in all armed conflict – children. Children are sexually abused, killed and/or maimed and sometimes even used as suicide bombers by parties to conflict. In armed conflicts, schools and hospitals, which are essential for the development and well-being of children are deliberately attacked and destroyed .
Together with the SRSG, Ms. Coomaraswamy, with UNICEF and other UN agencies, the Security Council Working Group on Children and Armed Conflict, which I have the honor to chair, has since its inception in 2006 made tangible progress in demobilizing child soldiers and in enhancing compliance with international law by State and non-State parties to conflict. Please allow me to urge the members of the Council, as well as the wider UN membership, to continue to lend their valuable support to this common endeavour.
Thank You

Q: If the purpose of these ties is to support the veneer during winds, why does it make any difference what backup is used?
A: The codes and industry standards that permit the use of corrugated anchors are prescriptive. In other words, they include a detailed description of the type, spacing, and placement of these anchors without requiring engineering load calculations. The 2010 Building Code Requirements and Specifications for Masonry Structures reported by the Masonry Standards Joint Committee (MSJC code and specification), in Section 18.104.22.168.1.2 of the code, permits the use of anchored veneer attached to wood framing, provided that the height above the noncombustible foundation does not exceed 30 feet at the height of the plate or 38 feet at the height of the gable. The prescriptive requirements are as follows:
Section 220.127.116.11.1.1 of the code states that "Corrugated sheet-metal anchors shall be at least 7/8 in. (22 mm) wide, have a base metal thickness of at least 0.03 in. (0.8 mm), and shall have corrugations with a wavelength of 0.3 to 0.5 in. (7.6 to 12.7 mm) and an amplitude of 0.06 to 0.10 in. (1.5 to 2.5 mm). In Section 188.8.131.52.6.1, this code states that there should be "one anchor for every 2.67 ft2 (0.25 m2) of wall area."
- Section 22.214.171.124.2 of the code states, "Attach each anchor to wood studs or wood framing with a corrosion-resistant 8d common nail, or with a fastener having equivalent or greater pullout strength. For corrugated sheet-metal anchors, locate the nail or fastener within 1/2 in. (12.7 mm) of the 90-degree bend in the anchor."
- Section 2.4 D.2 of the specification requires that sheet metal anchors and ties conform to ASTM A1008/A1008 M.
Similar language is contained in the International Residential Code (IRC) and in Brick Industry Association (BIA) Technical Note 28, Anchored Brick Veneer, Wood Frame Construction.
There are also requirements concerning the width of the airspace when corrugated anchors are used. Section 220.127.116.11.3 of the MSJC code and BIA Technical Note 44B, Wall Ties for Brick Masonry state that "when corrugated sheet metal anchors are used, a maximum distance between the inside face of the veneer and outside face of the solid sheathing of 1 in. shall be specified." It is interesting to note that these same documents also require that the air space between the veneer and the backing be a minimum of 1 inch. Therefore, corrugated anchors can only be used for 1 inch air spaces. Air spaces greater than 1 inch require adjustable anchors meeting the requirements of Section 126.96.36.199.5.
Critical loads acting on corrugated anchors are generally wind suction loads. In most cases, the magnitude of wind suction loads is greater than wind pressure loads and these anchors generally have greater displacement and lower capacity in tension than in compression. Corrugated ties can fail in tension due to nail pullout and straightening of ties with significant eccentricity (see Figure A). An 8d nail with 2 inches of penetration (2-1/2 inches less 1/2 inch sheathing) has an allowable withdrawal strength of 42 to 84 pounds and an ultimate withdrawal strength of 235 to 460 pounds (depending on the species of wood ranging from Spruce-Pine-Fir to Southern Yellow Pine). With a half inch offset, a corrugated anchor made of 22 gage, Grade 60 steel has a capacity of approximately 18 lbs at 75 percent of yield.
ASTM A1008, Standard Specification for Steel, Sheet, Cold-Rolled, Carbon, Structural, High-Strength Low-Alloy, High-Strength Low-Alloy with Improved Formability, Solution Hardened, and Bake Hardenable permits the use of steel with less than half the yield strength of Grade 60, which would reduce the capacity proportionally. If ties are provided to support 2.67 square feet of masonry veneer, the maximum allowable negative wind load that can be handled by veneer supported only by the corrugated wall anchors is in the range of 16 to 31 psf (for the case where the nail is positioned at the bend in the tie) to 7 psf (for the case where the nail is installed 1/2 inch from the bend). Common design wind loads for residential structures away from areas subject to hurricanes range from 10 to 20 psf depending on the location and exposure. Therefore, when the tie is not bent directly at the nail, the anchor will have a tendency to straighten out. This results in excessive movement and potential cracking or wall failure.
Another significant shortcoming of corrugated anchors is limited corrosion resistance. Corrugated anchors are wide and made from thin sheet metal. As a result, the ratio of surface area to cross sectional area is high. The wide flat surface can hold water and in many cases some of the zinc galvanizing can be chipped off when the ties are bent. For these reasons, corrugated anchors are more susceptible to corrosion than galvanized wire ties.
The MSJC code, the IRC, and BIA Technical Note 28B, Brick Veneer/Steel Stud Walls require adjustable anchors that have greater capacity and require additional anchors at critical areas for brick veneer anchored to steel stud backup walls. Corrugated anchors are not permitted with steel stud back-up. In addition to requiring one anchor for every 2-2/3 square feet of wall area, BIA Technical Note 28B recommends that the anchors closest to the shelf angle must be designed to support over 30 percent of the lateral loads. BIA Technical Note 44B contains additional recommendations regarding adjustable ties for brick veneer walls over steel stud backups. This document limits the maximum deflection of the adjustable ties to less than 0.05 inches when tested under an axial load of 100 pounds in tension or compression.
TROUBLESHOOTING: Proper Use of Anchors

Support Women Artists Sunday: Gossip
Danielle B's post earlier this week reminded me how awesome Beth Ditto and Gossip are. Enjoy!
Gossip (formerly The Gossip) is a three-piece American indie rock band formed in 1999. The band consists of singer Beth Ditto, guitarist Brace Paine and drummer Hannah Blilie. After releasing several recordings, the band broke through with their 2006 studio album, Standing in the Way of Control (2006). A follow-up, Music for Men, was released in 2009. The band plays a mix of post punk indie rock and dance-punk.
Gossip was formed in 1999 in Olympia, Washington with vocalist Beth Ditto, guitarist Nathan "Brace Paine" Howdeshell and drummer Kathy Mendonca. All three were originally from Arkansas; Mendonca moved to Olympia to attend Evergreen State College and Howdeshell and Ditto followed. …

Add frightful flair to your monster mash this Halloween with Sharpie markers and pens! Using Sharpie to create costumes, liven up lanterns, decorate pumpkins and personalize accessories, you will be able to trick AND treat your way through a Happy Halloween.
Now crank up "Thriller" and let's put those Sharpies to work!
Jack of All Trades This year, think beyond your traditional Jack O' Lantern! Take it a step further and use Sharpie markers as your #1 pumpkin decorating tool. After picking the perfect pumpkin, draw Halloween images, spooky sceneries and creative designs with all different Sharpie markers. Stencils are also a fun and easy way to copy your favorite images. Take a look at Stencil1 for cool Halloween stencils and tips. While you're there take a peek at other stencils for more holiday craft ideas! In the mean time, here are some ideas to get you started…

It's Tricky to Rock a Rhyme That's Right on Time It's Tricky… It's tricky tricky tricky (or TREAT!) A fun activity for kids is to customize and decorate their own Trick or Treat bags! Pillow cases, paper bags, and buckets are all great options. Supply them with Sharpie markers to decorate their "loot sacks" in any way they please! Decorate to match a costume or stencil names in a spooky font, either way your little goblin will be ready to rock n' roll and make the rounds on Halloween night!
Are You Afraid of the Dark? Don't get caught wandering in the dark on Halloween night; you never know what could be lurking past midnight! Light the way with these ghostly Sharpie lights and lanterns. Use recycled milk jugs and buckets, like these, to brighten the pathway for Trick or Treaters, or get plastic flashlights to carry around with you.

How about a faux lantern for day time? Image from Country Living
Think Outside of the Box The budget is a little tight this year and I don't have a ton of cash to throw out for a Halloween costume. No way, not another ghost costume again this year (I can't spare anymore white bed sheets)… With a few Sharpies you can easily cook up great Halloween costume and save a bundle! After looking at pictures of costumes, I came to this conclusion: Sharpie + Cardboard Box = Endless possibilites! In literally seconds I thought up all sorts of costumes to make with a box and Sharpie markers: Robot, Phone Booth, Zack Morris' Cell Phone :) , Skateboard, iPod, Movie Theatre Box of Candy, Go-Kart, Dart Board, Refrigerator, Rocket Ship, a SmartCar. (Look at me getting all creative!) Here are some pics that I like of "Lego people" costumes. Round up friends and you could be an entire group of Lego people!!
images from: FamilyGo and DavidBau.com
Know Your INS and OUTS Can't last all night wearing a bulky box? I hear ya partner! Plus, I'm pretty sure that wearing a box, my "Thriller" dance would look more like a scene from "March of the Penguins!" Well here's a clever idea that I thought up to get a 2 for 1 deal out of a Halloween costume and a sure fire way to be the life (or death) of the party!
Choose a costume theme, such as a Race Car or Computer, design your box accordingly. Next, on a solid colored onesie or a t-shirt and pants, draw your "insides" with Sharpie markers (Race Car: driver's suit/Computer: inner wiring)! Let me explain: Say you are a Refrigerator - Draw items that are found inside of a refrigerator all over your shirt and pants. Or how about you are a Casket or Grave site- draw a full skeleton on a onesie with Sharpie. *Don't stick to black and white either – the 80′s are back baby and I want to be a hot pink skeleton this year!) By wearing both, if you want to take off the box you are still sporting a killer costume that will knock those zombies right off their feet!
(Final Thought) *4 out of 5 Dentists Approve: Instead of handing out candy, give Sharpie markers to your trick or treaters this year!
Send in pictures of how you incorporate Sharpie markers this year and they will get posted on the Sharpie Blog and Facebook page!

Nitrous on a 740i?
Alright so my friend offered me a nitrous kit for really cheap,
ive read and looked through and ive seen some 540i's have a kit.
what i was wondering though could my engine handle the shot as it has 143000 miles
and my tranny just got rebuilt. i dont plan on going over 100. 75 the highest.
i just want that little edge of power in my car at the track
you shouldnt have a problem at 75. just watch your seals as you use it
I would buy a chap block if I was you, send it to AEBS and have them sleeve and deck the block, buy the parts on the side, pistons, rings, there is a guy in Hemet Ca. that makes custom crank shafts from aircraft aluminum and hes not that expensive too... 143k is not bad, but putting nitrous on a stock, high milage engine, you might be asking to much... the piston rings have gone through alot in its 143kmile life... just a suggestion, you can put it on now, or cruise around enjoy your car and build the motor to handel it.
From what I have seen, you can put nitrous on a car that people would not normally expect it to have, or be able to handle it.
I think it is more about the set up, and doing it safely, rather than just making some sort of manual spray button or switch taht actually requires YOU to time it correctly. They have all sorts of devices you can set up that make it basically automatic, all you have to do is arm, unscrew the bottle, make sure it is warm, etc. I know of one gentleman in particular who set it up to self spray ONLY at WOT, starting at 3000RPM and cutting off at something like 6400(his redline was 6500). Worked well, but it was a FWD car, so his 60ft times were about 0.5 second too slow he claimed since he could not launch. A heavier car like a 740i, with its RWD, would probably lay some good times down with all that weight transfer to the back wheels. IM reading the stock 1/4 are about 15.8 or something. Spraying could very well make it see high 14s, which for a luxury car is pretty good.
I am pretty sure most cars could handle a 35 shot(including those old EF civic hatchbacks that have 13 second 0-60 times), but I think the E38 V8 motor might gain more than 35HP from the "35" shot. I have been told it kind of works like that.
One of my turbo cars was putting out about 200whp and 240wtq, but would've benefited better than a 120hp naturally aspirated car from a small jet size. This is what I was told though, and I think dyno charts show this as well.
I am interested in getting one of the 1995 4.0 or 4.4l 96-99 models and putting a bottle on. Not sure if I will do this, but if I get one I definitely will write how it goes if there is interest. I have seen no one actually do it and write about it on the internet or other places. If the stock internals are handling 350-400whp from those VF supercharging kits, along with the injectors, manifolds (plastic intake manifold?), and nothing crazy is happening to the other stuff, a 35 shot will be a good solid gain, just make sure you set it up properly to put enough fuel in. Once again, there are computers to help with this.
Heck a 35-50 shot jet, Dinan tuning, and some cat back exhausts or bypass pipes, you could be trotting in the 375whp territory on the spray. If the car is about 4000 pounds that's not too bad. Plus it's OBDI on the 1995 4.0 liters, so in terms of tuning and a "bad catalytic converter" code being thrown, it might be a better platform to start from.
Definitely piss off some people, wouldn't race any Evo's though.

where on earth are you tracking an e38?

If you mean where am I racing a 740i, then I never said I was, and I'm not. I do not own one currently. Most of this info was for that guy who posted originally, and anyone else who cares to read. I'm tired of people asking questions like these and getting questions based on knowledge of nothing. I saw some responses in other forums about nitrous on BMWs and they are VERY against it. They think it will blow up, or **** the tranny up. I've seen some General Motor cars run a stock clutch on nitrous, and it never blew the clutch for 35,000 miles, or slipped. Most cars can handle it, and if BMWs are as quality as everyone says, then nitrous wont break something.
If you are wondering what kind of track I would race a 740i on, I was referring to a strip.
If you mean which one in particular, then I don't know, it doesn't really matter. (Probably that one between lebanon and murfreesboro, it's a raceway Im told that does drag racing. And I dont mean lady-men running.)
If you are being a sarcastic asshole trying to make me look stupid, then **** you.
If you mean tracking like what you do with animals in the woods, I'm not doing that either.

Sorry you interpreted that as some sort of insult; and I would certainly not infer anything about your intelligence-- stupidity does not necessarily have a proportionate relationship to modification. For example- I could be called an idiot for retrofitting a tilt column on my M3- as it has limited functionality. The mod was more for uniqueness than convenience.
My (lighthearted) question was intended to provoke what thought processes went into turning the giant into a sleeper. For your information, I happen to like the idea- but much is against those voting pro, from the start. #1: weight.
I've built a few sleepers, none in this platform though. The Tq a stock hp24 or hp30 will handle is readily available from ZF. If you're serious about building a scary monster beast that also provides passengers the comfort afforded to diplomats-- my hat's off to you-- and again, I like the idea.
By the way- it was to nowerelsetoroam I was responding-- i didn't even really read your post- sorry. For clarification, I was assuming autox. As we know from fundamental communication education, assumption creates conflict-- my bad

Just for everyones info. There is a guy in the E39 section running a 2 stage 225 shot. 150 shot plus a 75 second stage shot. I believe its a 99 540. So same M62tu motor. His motor is bone stock with 100K+ miles. Hes been runing his setup for about 50K+ miles with no problems. Puts down 400+ at the wheels. Everyone on there keeps telling him "your gonna blow it up". I want to say hes got over 150,000 miles on his car.. He did it very nice. His 150 shot is a direct fogger, and the second stage is a single fogger. Hes got some pics posted. Still, 400+ RWHP for about $1500 is outstanding.
I was in contact with a European company for a while when I considered it for my M3. More of just something to tinker with though-- I'd likely never even use it.
We were talking about a system that would not be instant full-on, but rather ramp up delivery according to throttle angle. I haven't done a lot of research, but I don't think this type of setup is common-- likely because of the huge investment-- and generally speaking, nos users just want full on at WOT anyway. I have the information archived somewhere. I'm still planning to revisit the idea in the future. I know the company is top notch, top notch stuff too.

Thinking Geographically About International Issues:
The Choices Approach
A Summer Geography Institute for Teachers
June 26-28, 2013
Apply by Monday, April 8, 2013
Brown University's Choices Program invites secondary level geography teachers to apply for a 2013 Summer Institute that focuses on using the Choices approach and curricular materials to ask What is Where, Why, and So What?
Using the scholarship and lessons found in our The United States in Afghanistan unit as a springboard, the Institute will explore how the Choices approach and curricula materials can be implemented to develop geographically literate students, capable of asking and answering the big questions in geography.
The goal of the Institute is to build a community of educators dedicated to sharing best practices for using Choices materials and approach to teach about international issues through a geographic lens.
Participants will:
- Benefit from content–rich presentations by university geographers;
- Be immersed in the Choices approach to teaching about contested international issues through presentations, curricular modeling, and discussions;
- Share best practices and approaches for addressing complex international issues with other educators from across the country; and
- Develop plans to share strategies, resources, and insights gained from the Institute with other geography educators.
Housing, meals, Choices curriculum units, and a 20-hour certificate of completion are provided.
There is no fee for the Institute, but participants are required to cover their own travel to and from Providence, RI.
Participants are expected to conduct outreach activities upon completion of the Institute. Choices will provide materials for these activities.
Download Application
Completed applications must be received by Monday, April 8.
Submit applications to: email@example.com
If you have questions, please email Mimi Stephens, Professional Development director.
The Choices Program 2013 Summer Geography Institute is being made possible with the generous support of the Cranaleith Foundation.

Journal explores cervical cancer, health disparities
African-American women in South Carolina are 37 percent more likely to have cervical cancer than white women and have a death rate that is about 61 percent higher, according to a study by researchers at the University of South Carolina's Arnold School of Public Health.
South Carolina ranks 14th in the nation in deaths from cervical cancer.
The study also found that African-American women in rural South Carolina are among the least likely to get recommended screenings, including the Pap test, that are key to the early detection and treatment of cervical cancer.
The findings from the study are reported in the December issue of the Journal of the South Carolina Medical Association, which has a series of articles and studies on cervical cancer in South Carolina.
The journal represents one of the first comprehensive statewide reports on cervical cancer incidence and mortality, said Dr. Saundra Glover, an Arnold School researcher and director of the Institute for Partnerships to Eliminate Health Disparities.
Eliminating health disparities is complex and involves many factors, including access to screening and follow-up treatment, she said.

Roughly 30 people were convicted of methamphetamine-related crimes in Knox County last year, but almost all of them can still buy pseudoephedrine, the drug's main ingredient, despite a state-mandated database that's supposed to alert pharmacists not to sell to offenders.
The problem, though, isn't contained to just 2013.
For more than half a decade, the Knox County Criminal Court Clerk's Office has failed to properly update the Meth Offender Registry, a tool investigators and lawmakers say is crucial to combating the growing methamphetamine problem.
The registry is maintained by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation. But, criminal court clerks throughout the state are responsible for providing the bureau with the names, dates of birth and addresses, of those convicted of possessing, selling or manufacturing methamphetamine, according to state law.
Those convicted must be placed on the registry, which can be found online, for seven years. They also are banned from purchasing pseudoephedrine, an over-the-counter decongestant found in cold and sinus medicines.
Records, however, show that the Knox County Criminal Court Clerk's Office rarely complies with the law.
For example, the courts have convicted 137 defendants since mid-2008, which is when Joy McCroskey took over the office, according to records. But, her department turned over data for just seven people, or about 5 percent of those convicted.
"That's unfortunate," said Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett. "The legislation – you pass things like that – and obviously everyone signed on because it was a good idea and it was heralded by the community and the press, and when there's no follow through, it seems like it's just a big waste of time."
The Law: Meth-Free Tennessee Act of 2005
The List: Tennessee Meth Offender Registry Database
More Problems: McCroskey's office has been under fire since last October
McCroskey said little when asked about the matter. However, she did say that she relied on information from the Knox County District Attorney General's Office. She said when a defendant is convicted the DA's Office gives her office a copy of the judgment that includes a section that asks whether the conviction is methamphetamine related.
Officials are supposed to check a "yes" or "no" box, and that the boxes aren't always checked. DA Randy Nichols agreed "that's more on me than on her."
However, the state statute does not require someone to check the boxes. It requires only that the criminal clerk turn over the information. The judgments, which are all personally signed by McCroskey, clearly note the conviction offense and clearly note "methamphetamine" on them.
Further, some of the judgments McCroskey's office turned over to the TBI did not have the boxes checked.
Nichols, though, said the problem could be corrected and any missing names can still be added to the registry.
Tommy Farmer, director of the Tennessee Meth and Pharmaceutical Task Force, said the system has a "lot of moving parts," and didn't want to place the blame on anyone.
But, Farmer said he wasn't surprised that the registry has problems.
"To change the system to go from public awareness, education to a prohibitive purchasers list and then with all of those, there's only so much that we can process with the clerk, we know there may be some problems there," he said.
Still, he added that, overall, the registry has worked. Last year, he said, 463 people who were on the list were blocked a combined 1,600 times from buying pseudoephedrine.
The registry, created as part of the Meth-Free Tennessee Act of 2005, is connected to a system pharmacists use to track the sales of pseudoephedrine.
Pharmacists are required to check photo IDs of customers purchasing pseudoephedrine and match them with the database. The system then flags anyone on the registry or those who have reached the legal limits for buying pseudoephedrine without a prescription in Tennessee – currently 9 grams, or about three boxes of pills, in a 30-day period
"It is a little troubling that there (is) a list of individuals that have been convicted . . . that are not being added to the registry which would then immediately prevent us from being able to sell to them," said David Belew, a pharmacist and owner of Belew Drugs in North Knoxville.
Belew said he's "aggravated" because each year pharmacists are asked to provide more information about themselves and their customers, yet officials can't provide more accurate information to them.
"If we're being asked to do that, then I guess I would just ask that the people we report to would have to follow those same set of guidelines," he said.
That's not happening in Knox County.
Records show that the criminal court clerk's office has given the TBI only a fraction of the information required.
Only three of 26 people convicted in Knox County last year are on the registry and only four of the 30 convicted in 2012 are in the database. No one convicted in Knox County courts for methamphetamine-related crimes from mid-2008 through 2011 is listed.
From 2007 through mid-2008, when Martha Phillips' served as criminal court clerk, the courts convicted a combined 15 defendants. Only five of those names are on the registry.
State law says the criminal court clerk has to forward a judgment to the TBI within 45 days of a conviction. The TBI is then responsible for removing a name from the registry seven years after the date of the most recent conviction.
Burchett, who was a state senator at the time, was one of a number of officials who sponsored the Meth-Free Tennessee Act that created the registry.
"(It's) another tool in the box that you can use to combat some of these crimes," he said.
Long-time pharmacist and state Sen. Randy McNally, R-Oak Ride, said he was upset that the clerk's office has failed to update the registry.
"One assumes the individuals are going to comply with their job, and it could be negligence or it could be not doing it for other reasons," he said.
McNally, who also co-sponsored the 2005 bill, said the registry is "the next best thing than going to prescriptions-only," a move state lawmakers have discussed and something he endorses.
He added that as talks about pseudoephedrine continue during this year's General Assembly session "that might give us the opportunity to put criminal penalties if people don't send in the reports (that) they're required to the TBI."
Gov. Bill Haslam in January introduced the Tennessee Anti-Meth Production Act, which would lower the monthly limit of pseudoephedrine a customer could purchase to 2.4 grams, or about one box of pills, per month without a prescription.

Exactly what chipset is contained on rokland n3? wheres your lsusb output?
Anybody using this combination. BT 2 was one release that it was claimed would work with the rokland n3 but on my machine when I try to connect the USB adapter it spins and spins and spins.
Exactly what chipset is contained on rokland n3? wheres your lsusb output?
That chipset/firmware/radio is buggy. Especially running it under bt2/bt3 you will run into issues. With bt4 and the > 2.6.26 kernel the driver seems to be far more stable.
What exactly is your bt4 configuration with the n3? Which driver are you using?
I don't have n3, but I have a pair of no-name (generic) usb dongles equipped with exactly the same if not similar chipset. The driver under bt4 should be zd1211.
(edit) I should also add that I don't use vmware fusion. I used vmware workstation and ran bt in live mode (i.e. no virtualisation whatsoever).
So if I'm using the N3 with BT pre 4 or Bt3 then which driver should I use? There are so many of them. The ones that came on the n3 driver CD, the older
as well as
When I tried to build any of these and put them in bt 3 I ended up with invalid module format errors.
The main issue is with this type of chipset you will need at minimum bt4 beta. Both bt2 as well as bt3 contains legacy kernel, both are largely outdated in the wireless world and have much been deprecated due to the lack of conformity in the wireless realm.
In addition to that, have you ever actually bothered to search the forums for such chipset rather than asking in multiple areas in a bid to get a solution for each and every bt version you now have on your hands? People like you would have only preferred to use bt4 pre-final rather than bt2 or bt3 where its evidently later version are better.
Hint: Look at the release dates for bt2 and bt3, go figure out if your chipset was released before or during those dates. Then compare that to bt4 pre-final.
Wow people can be really condescending in this forum can't they. I've been reading the forums and see that the n3 is considered to be rt2870 but that there's often a different driver recommended for each and never have I seen anybody claim any success with any driver used in bt2, bt3 etc. All you find is conflicting information about what driver works and where.

It's just OK
By Frequent travler
from Riverside, CA
It is suppose to be a travel watch. However to get it to adjust to new time zones, you must be outside and it only adjust 6 times per day. It is not very helpful if your day of travel is in airplanes, airports or trains.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Hammacher Schlemmer Response: Thank you for your feedback. Proper signal reception can be difficult or even impossible under the following conditions: inside or among buildings, inside a vehicle, among mountains. The watch should be placed near a window for calibration.

JEFFERSON CITY, Tenn.- The Brevard College football team was unable to overcome a 34-0 start by Carson-Newman at Burke-Tarr Stadium on Saturday afternoon, eventually falling 41-14 to the Eagles in their 2013 South Atlantic Conference opener.
Carson-Newman scored on their first two drives of the afternoon, needing just over a minute to get on the scoreboard as Brandon Baker made it 6-0 nothing on a 15-yard touchdown run on the Eagles fourth play from scrimmage.
Following a botched extra point, the Eagles forced a three-and-out on BC's opening drive and scored two plays later on a 64-yard dash by Tryon Douglas to make it 13-0.
Carson-Newman took a 20-0 lead on their final drive of the 1st quarter as Andy Hibbett capped a 40-yard drive with a one-yard scoring rush at the 3:49 mark.
Douglas led Carson-Newman with 112 rushing yards on 11 carries and two touchdowns, while Hibbett added two scores on 13 carries and 81 yards.
A 67-yard drive that put the Eagles ahead by 27 on their second possession was the only score of the 2nd quarter for either side. Carson-Newman took the 27-0 lead into the break.
BC continued to struggle moving the ball offensively in the 3rd quarter, failing to convert on a 4th-and-four at the Carson-Newman 37-yard line on their opening drive and punting on their next possession.
Carson-Newman added to their lead with a one-yard rushing touchdown from Douglas on their second possession of the 3rd quarter made it 34-0.
Brevard answered on their ensuing possession with Andre Overholt's nine-yard touchdown run, capping a 76-yard drive that took 14 plays. The Tornados picked up six first downs along the way.
Kelvin Jeter led BC's rushing attack with 75 yards on 14 carries while Xavier McEachern picked up 58 yards on 14 rushes.
The Eagles put the finishing touch on their scoring efforts when the C-N defense recovered a Tanner Wright fumble on the Brevard 16-yard line. After a penalty pushed the Eagles five yards back, C-N's Marcellas Pope scored on a 21-yard run to make it 41-7.
The Tornados made it 41-14 on a fourth quarter drive that took BC 81 yards on 14 plays, ending with a Wright rushing touchdown from six yards out.
BC junior Michael Gruber had a game-high 17 tackles for the Tornados after picking up 19 last season against the Eagles on October 27th.
The Tornados host the North Greenville Crusaders for their home opener next Saturday, September 28th, at Brevard Memorial Stadium. Kickoff is slated for 6 p.m.

Judge: Corps' Negligence Caused Katrina Flooding
By Cain Burdeau (AP)
NEW ORLEANS -- A federal judge ruled Wednesday that the Army Corps of Engineers' failure to properly maintain a navigation channel led to massive flooding in Hurricane Katrina.
U.S. District Judge Stanwood Duval sided with five residents and one business who argued the Army Corps' shoddy oversight of the Mississippi River-Gulf Outlet led to the flooding of New Orleans' Lower Ninth Ward and neighboring St. Bernard Parish. He said, however, the corps couldn't be held liable for the flooding of eastern New Orleans, where one of the plaintiffs lived.
Duval awarded the plaintiffs $720,000, or about $170,000 each, but the decision could eventually make the government vulnerable to a much larger payout. The ruling should give more than 100,000 other individuals, businesses and government entities a better shot at claiming billions of dollars in damages.
Joe Bruno, one of the lead plaintiffs lawyer, said the ruling underscored the Army Corps' long history of failure to properly protect the New Orleans region.
"It's high time we look at the way these guys do business and do a full re-evaluation of the way it does business," Bruno said.
The corps referred calls seeking comment to the Justice Department. The corps had argued that it is immune from liability because the channel is part of New Orleans' flood control system, but the judge allowed the case to go forward.
Many in New Orleans have argued that Katrina, which struck the region Aug. 29, 2005, was a manmade disaster caused by the Army Corps' failure to maintain the levee system protecting the city.
The Mississippi River-Gulf Outlet is a shipping channel dug in the 1960s as a short-cut between the Gulf of Mexico and New Orleans.

Guerlain KissKiss Shaping Cream Lip Color
Guerlain KissKiss Shaping Cream Lip Color Reviews
GUERLAIN KISSKISS - PRECIOUS COLOURS SILKY AND DELICIOUSReally nice lipstick, glides smoothly over the lips and is a good moisturizing formula. No glitters (luckily), but it does give your lips a nice "sheen". Repurchased in different colours because of the nice feeling and lovely perfume. Case is a little bit too bling but nevertheles a feminine, sensual design. I purchased this online at Sephora in the limited edition Butterfly collection. I chose th...read moree 515 shade. So happy I did! The color is so perfect for days when pink is just not quite dark enough, red is just too far gone, and mauve won't fit in. The feel, texture, moisture, cream amount to me is just the right recipe. Anyone who knows and loves the pleasant light fragrance of a Guerlain lipstick is going to love this one. It is not an over-powering smell, but rather a smell that lets you know you are applying a lavish, quality product from Guerlain. If you can still find this color, buy it, you will be glad you did. I have it in colour Rose Ingenue which is nice pink-brownish colour and it is ideal to have with smokey eyes. The natural colour of my lips is very red and this lipstick manages to cover my natural lip colour perfectly. It lasts long. When you apply it, the texture is smooth and silky and it seems as if the lipstick moisturizes your lips, buf after some time the lipstick becomes very dry and it will, if your lips aren't smooth, accentuate the lines on your lips. I was so HAPPY to discover these lipsticks online for a fraction of their retail price! I could never have afforded to buy them at full price and I was always curious about them. So I really took advantage and got 2. I am so glad I did, these are divine! I LOVE the colours, I got 501 strawberry something and 502 strawberry candy or pink candy or something like that. The candy colour is GORGEOUS GORGEOUS GORGEOUS, a sort of sheer like pinky colour with different coloured shimmer, I think it would go well with any kind of makeup and any colour lips or skintone as it's quite sheer and nudish. The 501 strawberry colour is also nice, it's more pigmented than 502 so it can only go with certain kinds of makeup, I think. It's a light strawberry shade. These are really smooth and creamy although I do find that they are a bit drying after they wear off or you take it off, so in that aspect I prefer MAC. I'm absolutely CRAZY about the taste and fragrance though, I LOVE the taste and fragrance and I will put this lipstick on just so I can lick it, even when no one is going to see me! Don't care too much about the packaging though, it's quite lovely but I find it too big and clunky and heavy to be really practical and carry around on the run. I like the clunking sound it makes when I open it though. It's taken me over a year to decide, but other than the beautiful color selection—and some colors are indeed magnificent— I can not find much to recommend about these lipstcks. I have Sexy Tango, a gorgeous corally red, and Beige Strasse, a too-frosty-for-me peachy copper. The formula is a bit drying though not waxy, and the signature Guerlain violet scent is overbearing and irritating to my throat, and it doesn't dissipate with time. Some eau de parfum I could name should last as long as this lipstick's scent. The much admired, dowager friendly tube feels nice in the hand, but for my taste it's an over-designed clunker. If these were unscented I'd be more forgiving of the somewhat minor flaws, but for the high price there are other lipsticks I feel better about buying. I have always loved Guerlain lipsticks and used them regularly until about a year ago when they discontinued my favourite shade and I could find nothing to replace it with. The appeal of Guerlain has always been the fact they carry a range of orangey shades which have no pink in them (I have wasted shed loads of cash on lipsticks which look orange/peach in the tube and ALWAYS go pink on me!) and the wonderful tube with the little mirror on the end - priceless! So why oh why did they have to discontinue the most commonsense packaging in the world? Having read the impressive reviews on MA I thought I'd investigate this new line and the completely new range of shades. I was not disappointed. I bought "Fauve Seduisant 546" which really complements my red hair and hazel eyes. Its a gorgeous peachy terracotta shade which goes on with a beautiful shine. Subtle on its own - it 'pops' with a little clear gloss over it. It comes in the most extravagant gold packaging you'd be proud to pull out and apply anywhere! (Even if there is no mirror in the bottom of the tube for which I removed 1 lippy in the review!) The texture is very soft - its a sort of gel/creme and what really surprised me is its incredible staying power without drying. It faded evenly and left my lips really soft with a light stain. Overall I was very impressed with its performance and value for money. — 5 years, 3 months agomihshelle | 182 reviews

Guerlain KissKissI LOVE these lipsticks. My first KissKiss was color 666 - a raspberry color. It was discontinued but I am still in love with KissKiss because of the colors and creamy smoothness. — 4 years, 4 months agopam_forte_day | 3 reviews

My Reasons for Reporting This

The Snyder Affordable Housing project sparked controversy among neighboring homeowners, who were fearful of its density and potential to lower property values. In the end, the project won the neighbors' praise, just as it won over our panel of judges.
Approval for the project hinged on the architects' ability to preserve existing wetlands and old-growth trees, as well as their ability to minimize the project's visual and physical impace on the neighborhood. With that in mind, the firm nestled appropriately scaled buildings among pedestrian-friendly spaces, while making sure to distance both from vehicular zones.
"It was important to have the pedestrian quality to the space," says principal David Warner. "Homeowners had to be able to walk up to their houses, the way you would in an old neighborhood." The architects wanted to avoid cookie-cutter-style condominiums, so they used mountain-cabin vernacular to give the project character. "We wanted homeowners to feel like they were living in something that had a nice quality," Warner explains.
"The layering of the buildings gives the houses some privacy," the judges said. "You feel the scale of each house, even though they're all grouped together."
