One of Newfoundland's Heroes - Mr. & Mrs. William Belbin, Country Road, have received word from Lt. Col.

Herbert BELBIN, had been taken from the cemetery in which he was originally buried at Dusseldorf and reinterred in the South Cemetery, Cologne, Rhineland, Germany. The late Herbert Belbin enlisted as a private at the age of 18 and went overseas with the Royal Nfld. Regiment in 1916. At the Battle of Monchy, April 14th, he was captured and brought to a German prison where he lived for 15 months. Here he, with the other English prisoners, worked in a stone quarry where, while engaged at work he was accidentally killed. Hundreds of fellow prisoners of all nationalities followed the soldier to the Lutheran Cemetery, where he was laid to rest. The body has been exhumed from the cemetery and reinterred in Rhineland.

A most tragic loss of life was the outcome of a fire, which occurred at the home of Mr. Charles HAYTER, Norris Arm on Saturday night, January 19th. It is supposed that the fire was caused by the explosion of an oil lamp and resulted in their three children being burnt to death, and their home with all the contents completely destroyed. Mrs. Hayter, who had been putting the children to bed, had evidently gone asleep with them, as only the call of her husband at the room door roused her in time to jump from the window and escape. The father received injuries in attempting to rescue the little ones, whose age's range from 2 to 7 years. It is not known whether Mrs. Hayter will recover.

Three members of the crew of the S.S. Terra Nova lost their lives by drowning shortly after the ship left St. John's Monday morning. It appears that owing to the jam of ice outside the harbor the steamer found it difficult to force her way through, and some of the crew were placed on the ice to help by pushing the ice away from her bows and other ways. While doing this about a dozen men fell through a weak pan into the water, and in the scramble and confusion, and with perhaps the steamer going ahead, three of them sank to the bottom never to be seen again. The names of the unfortunate men are:- David WHEALAN of St. John's, Maurice BREEN of Ferryland; and Hubert HISCOCK of Champneys, T. B. The ship was stopped and an effort made to locate the bodies, but in vain.

(Reprinted from Halifax Chronicle of some weeks ago) - The schooner Keno, which left Lunenburg, N.S.

This community was plunged into mourning on Saturday, March 29th, when it became known that little George BUTT, the 9-year-old son of Mr. Charles C. Butt, of the Western Union Cable Staff, had been killed. We have learned that the three little boys, George Butt, Lex Myers and Frank Bateman went east to Jones' Head to watch the vessels which had drifted out in the gale on Friday night. At the extreme east of the Head they had climbed down to a ledge of rock and were throwing stones into the water. On the way up they, not satisfied with their sport, decided to go down a second time and in trying to reach the objective first, it appeared that Master George lost his balance or slipped and rolled down over the bank, struck the same ledge that they had been standing on and from there fell to the beach. The other boys continued down to see what had happened to their chum, picking up his cap and one rubber on the descent. When they saw that he had been hurt they scaled the bank again, called Mr. Ralph Mercer for assistance and then proceeded to the C. of E. Rectory, from where they phoned Mrs. (Rev.) Bishop, who was then on Cable Avenue. In the meantime, Sergt. Wells and Dr. Pritchard were called to the scene, but arrived too late, as the boy was dead when reached by Mr. Ralph Mercer. The funeral took place on Monday, March 31st, from Cable Avenue to the C. of E. cemetery. Left to mourn are a sorrowing father, stepmother, twin brother, Ralph, and one sister, Winnifred.

A grim tragedy occurred at St. John's on April 17th, when Matthew WAKEHAM, aged 47, was killed almost instantly by his stepson, Wm Alonzo RUSSELL, aged 20. It seems that Matthew Wakeham married a widow named Russell about nine years ago. Her three sons came to live with them and three other children were born.

Obituary - Mrs. George H. MERCER - There passed peacefully away on April 6th at 11:30 p.m. after a lingering illness, Ethel, beloved wife of Geo. H. Mercer, aged 30 years. Mrs. Mercer before her marriage was Miss Ethel Richards, daughter of Captain George and Sarah Ann Richards, of Bareneed. Deceased had been ill for almost two years, but her passing came as a shock to her many friends, as she was only confined to her bed for two days. She was a great sufferer, but bore it all without a murmur, and as she drew near to the end she wore a smile as she wished her loved ones good-bye, and then the guardian angel who is watching over us, bore her spirit to that blessed home from which no traveller returns. She was well and favourably known and loved by all who knew her, being of a charitable disposition, and always ready to help the poor and needy. The funeral took place from her late residence, Beachy Cove, on Wednesday, April 9th. The C. of E. Women's Association, of which deceased lady was a member, attended in a body. Members of the Church Lads' Brigade were pallbearers. She leaves to mourn a sorrowing husband, two children, Purdy Mansfield, and Myra Barbara, a father, mother, two sisters, Mrs. Isaac Dawe, of Vernon, B.S., Mrs. Naboth Butt, of Chelsea, Mass., also two brothers, Tom residing in Chelsea, Mass., and Allan attending the United Business College at St. John's, besides a host of friends who will learn with sorrow of her demise.
Miss Anna E. SPENCER Passes Away - Tuesday's Daily News contained an enquiry received by the American Consul, St. John's, from Harriet Hutchinson of the Young Women's Christian Association, New York City, enquiring about the family of Miss Ann E. Spencer. She stated that "Miss Spencer attended Northfield College and has been a resident here for more than three weeks. She was taken sick about two weeks ago and sent to the Women's and Children's Hospital, where she died last Sunday morning. We made all the effort possible to locate her family and friends, but being unable to do so she was buried in St. Michael's Cemetery, Astoria, Long Island. Would appreciate having her people notified and having them write me." Immediately we read this enquiry we sent the following message to the American Consul: "Believe Anna Spencer's mother and brother resides in Shearstown near Bay Roberts. She has brother clergyman State New York. Can give you his address if necessary. C.E. Russell, J.P." This message was handed by the Consul to Insp. General Hutchings, who wired Sergt. Wells to make further enquires. He called on us and we gave him further information, and our belief as to who Miss Spencer was turned out to be correct. Deceased young lady was a daughter of Susannah and the late Geo. H. Spencer of Coley's Point. Her mother, Mrs. William Badcock, resides at Shearstown with her son, Ernest Spencer. Miss Spencer was here on a short visit about three or four years ago, and called on The Guardian several times. She was full of life and vigor, and at that time was attending College with the object of taking a B.A. degree. A splendid future seemed to be hers had she lived, but God ordered it otherwise. A brother, William Spencer, resides at Country Road, and another Rev. J.A. Spencer, is pastor of a Meth. Episcopal Church at North Creek and North River, U.S.A.

Conway. Trickett was also well acquainted with Mrs. Ryan. The deceased lady suggested that they should take a car drive toward Topsail. They left the city about 2:30 o'clock and went west as far as Topsail Hill where a short stop was made before the car turned toward the city again. The car was driven by ex-Const. Conway, Mrs. Ryan seemed in the best of spirits and just at the point where the accident occurred she half stood up, for the purpose of speaking to Conway. It seems that her left hand touched the spring which kept the door closed. At that moment the car swerved, the door flew open and Mrs. Ryan was flung headlong into the street. Trickett made an effort to grab her clothing but it all happened in an instant and he even did not touch her clothing. Trickett ran back and found the woman in a dying condition. She died in a minute or two. Mrs. Ryan was the widow of the late John Ryan, of Holyrood, who predeceased her some years ago. Mr. M.E. Hawco, late Minister of Posts and Telegraphs, is the only surviving relative, to whom much sympathy is expressed on the untimely and sudden passing of his sister.

Butler, of Clarke's Beach), seven sons, Frederick J., electrician with the United Towns Electrical Co., this town, Lemuel, Arthur, Herman, Walter, Clifford and Bert, residing in Sydney, N.S., one adopted daughter, Mrs. Archibald Bradbury, of this town; also four sisters Mrs. Louie Tilley, Kelligrews; Mrs. Wm. Rogers, Heart's Content; Mrs. Wm. Toms, LaScie, Mrs. John Richards, Tilt Cove; and one brother, John of Kelligrews. The funeral took place on Oct. 27th, to the Methodist Cemetery, Rev. Chas. Howse performing the last sad rites at the funeral of the deceased. Rev. Howse was pastor of the circuit when the late Mr. Winsor and family resided at Tilt Cove, he was on the train, twelve years later, when the accident happened and on going to see who the injured were, found his old parishioner, Mr. Winsor, lying in the wreckage. Six years have passed, and soon after coming here to begin his pastorate, Rev. Howse has the sad and solemn duty of consigning the remains of his old friend to the dust.
Died - On Tuesday, Nov. 25th, Mary Ann, widow of the late Daniel NORMAN, aged 66 years. Left to mourn are one son, Mark, with whom she resided, and two daughters living in United States. Funeral took place on Thursday, Nov. 27th to the C. of E. Cemetery, Rev. E.M. Bishop officiating.

Wedding Announced - The wedding of Miss Bertha HULL, of Twillingate, former teacher in the Methodist Superior School here, but now of the teaching staff of the Academy at Grand Falls, to Rev. Robert F. BELBIN, son of Mr. and Mrs. William Belbin, of this town, is announced to take place at George St. Church, St. John's, on Tuesday, Dec. 30th at 9:30 a.m. Their many friends here extend congratulations.
Mrs. FURNEAUX and her adopted son, George SPRACKLIN, of St. John's are here visiting Mrs. John Mercer, Mercer's Cove.
Rev. Canon LOCKYER Passes Away - To the many who have followed the life of Rev. Canon Lockyer, who was a prominent figure in the Church of England, his passing at the General on Nov. 30th, is a time of deep grief. For thirty-four years he laboured in Nova Scotia and for the greater part of that time was stationed at Port Morien. He spent his vacations at Trinity - his birthplace and from time to time collected information regarding the early history of Trinity, which was published in the "Evening Telegram". In 1917 he was made a Canon of All Saints Cathedral, Halifax, but two years later was compelled to relinquish his duties owing to ill health resulting from a sunstroke. He was predeceased by his wife, who was a sister of His Lordship, Bishop White. The body was conveyed to Trinity where interment was made.

Molten Leading
Tim Brown wrote a great post on a concept he calls "molten leading". He points out that, in a fluid grid, a text block's width changes without its leading or font size changing proportionately, creating a typographic imbalance. "Molten leading" would fix this by using Javascript to adjust the leading dynamically as the block's width changes. It's a good solution to one of the fluid grid's biggest problems.
The question is how to implement it. Tim went through some ideas in his post and Mat Marquis posted a working implementation on Github.
The problem is that this implementation requires the designer to manually provide a minimum and maximum width and line-height for each element, which makes the technique basically impossible to apply across an entire site. I think there's a simpler way to do it.
To calculate leading, we only really need to know two things: first, the measure of the text block (i.e. its width in ems), and second the typeface. Looking at the width in ems simultaneously accounts for the block's pixel width and the text size. And taking into account the typeface allows us to, for example, give more generous leading to fonts with higher x-heights.
Javascript can easily calculate a block's current em width (element's pixel width divided by its text size in pixels), so all we need to do is tell Javascript how to account for its typeface, which I think we can do by describing the typeface with one or two constants. So we don't need to define minimum and maximum widths and leadings at all!
I imagine that, for each typeface, the designer would provide:
- a base width—the width (in ems) at which the text should be "set solid" (i.e. have a
line-heightof 1em)
- a growth rate—the amount of leading (in ems) that should be added for each em added to the width of the text block
Then the jQuery pseudocode for calculating the leading of a given element would be:
//find proper constants
var constants = allConstants[$(elem).css('font-family')];
var baseWidth = constants['baseWidth'];
var growthRate = constants['growthRate'];
//the line below prevents negative leading…arguably it's
//not needed as media queries should prevent the width
//from ever getting so narrow (unless it's intentional).
if(elementEmWidth <= baseWidth]) {return 1; }
return 1 + ((elementEmWidth-baseWidth)*growthRate);
Using this approach, only two numbers need to be provided for each font in your layout and then molten leading can be applied to every element. (Though someone should test the performance impact of that…it might be too big, in which case the effect would have to be scoped somehow.)
As a final note, the base width constant could be made optional. Doing so would require defining an average base width and an average growth rate and then guessing this font's base width by multiplying the average base width times (this font's growth rate/average growth rate). I was just too lazy to figure out what those averages should be :)

SAN DIEGO – Airport board chairman Bob Watkins, in a meeting Thursday with Mayor Jerry Sanders, promised to amend his economic interest statements and correct any zoning violations at his business near Lindbergh Field.
"He acknowledged that he should have used better judgment and apologized for not doing so," Sanders said in a statement released after the meeting.
The mayor named Watkins chairman of the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority board in July. The board oversees Lindbergh, along with aviation planning in the county.
Since then, a spate of media reports have spurred questions about Watkins'business and financial judgment. His three-year term on the board expires in January.
Watkins, 66, plans to amend incomplete conflict-of-interest statements filed in 2008 and 2009 with state regulators.
He will also correct any zoning violations at his business under the Lindbergh flight path. Watkins operates a consulting firm out of a townhouse on Brant Street.
City officials this week said the firm, R.J. Watkins & Co., appears to be operating in violation of the municipal code governing residential neighborhoods.
On a related note on Thursday, an authority audit committee continued to discuss ways to tighten the agency's travel and business expense policies.
Watkins and others favor significant changes to avoid any abuse of authority funds. Watkins himself has been criticized for his overseas travel expenses while on business, but doesn't believe any of it violated authority policy.
Sanders agreed a clampdown is needed
"There is a disturbing trend about the way they spend money," said the mayor, in a meeting with The San Diego Union-Tribune editorial board.

Perhaps if I had thought about the title a little more, I might have been more reluctant to buy this book. I bought it for the ravishing photographs. Who could resist an image of a pathway, with random stones forming it, and a tree forming a canopy over the path? Yes, architecture should create magic spaces! And yes, let's have a book that tells us how to work this magic!
But when I started reading Christopher Day's book, I realised it is full of contradictions. The biggest contradiction is that the book's message is so good, but its details are so wrong. At a macro level, the book argues for the emotional effects of architecture, and of course the author is correct. At a micro level, Mr Day is prey to the most unlikely and uncorroborated fads, so much so that I am embarrassed for him to reveal some of the unsubstantiated statements he makes. Where he makes claims, he is often derivative (the Ruskinian idea that the craftsman's involvement in the work gives the building soul, although there is no credit for Ruskin in the index). Not only that, he is wildly inconsistent, as I will show below.
In principle these details should eliminate his entire case, but he is redeemed by the overall case, which is a good one, and by some of the photos, at least.
For examples of unsubstantiated claims, try chapter two, which contains a lot about colour. The emotional effects of colour are described as if absolute, and even at times given a source that provides a spurious credibility, almost a parody of the academic citation:
Blue is calming, peaceful. Green is a colour of balance: in Steiner schools, green is the balance colour for classrooms at the midpoint of childhood.
Teenagers need an environment that … internalizes the outer activity of earlier childhood … for this the appropriate colour lies in the cooler blue-green, blue-grey range.
Restaurateurs know that warm tints, oranges and reds, stimulate appetite: blues do the reverse [source: National Geographic magazine]
I'd like to know if the teenagers whose rooms were to be blue-green and blue-grey were consulted over this choice.
He then goes on to consider shapes, and in a similar way, he extends a subjective view to a crass doctrine. After describing the curve of a mother's breast, he infers that we like curves in childhood, and then continues:
As adults, we don't cry in planar surroundings, nor gurgle in curved ones, but such echoes remain: softly curved – welcoming; flat and hard – unfriendly (but so normal, we don't notice it).
This last statement is accompanied by a child-like drawing equating a sharp line in a building with a man pointing a gun, as if we didn't get the message from the text alone.
What is all this? A mishmash of opinions invalidating a very welcome plea to make use of some of the best features of much vernacular architecture - its irregularity, its human scale, its unexpected spaces and use of light. Why mix all this up together? Someone should extract the magic from this book and present it unencumbered by assertions stated as facts. And drawings of men with guns.

My family just returned to the USA after visiting me for the past month. It's been an amazing month, but also exhausting. I've seen more of Buenos Aires during December than in the past year—La Boca, the Colón Theater, Palermo, the zoo, tango, Plaza Francia. Overall, it was one of the best months of my life. We ate a lot of empanadas and canelones, travelled to Uruguay, watched the fireworks on New Year's and Christmas. I rescued a total of 11 cats with the help of my dad, fed ducks with my sister and was wowed by the Carlos Cruz-Diaz show at the MALBA with my mom. The heat and coordinating transportation were a bit stressful, but other than that, I really enjoyed having my family here. I'll leave you all with photos while I think of a relevant post for this week:
Hanging out with my dad in the Spanish architecture section of the Rosedal.
A box of kittens we found while walking past the Botanic Garden. We gave them water, cleaned them up and then sent them to a transitory home.
Carlos Gardel's grave in the Chacarita Cemetery
Indoor tombs at Chacarita Cemetery. It sort of reminds me of a gigantic apartment complex.
Some weird "sea egg" I found in Punta del Este and then spent 20 min throwing rocks at it to try and burst it. No luck. I suck at throwing rocks.
My little sister hanging out with cats in the Botanic Garden.
Getting dead skin from feet removed by little fish. My sister and I decided to do this for bragging rights. Also, it'll be a great story to tell the grandkids.
