Marquette turns back to sprint
MIAMI - Marquette should have enough speed to sit close to the pace and enough stamina to run down the tiring leaders when he turns back to five furlongs for Sunday's $40,000 Wayme Handicap on the turf.
Marquette has been a two-turn specialist throughout his career, but trainer Myra Mora may have found a good spot to shorten him up. Mora used similar tactics earlier this season with her multiple stakes winner Tour of the Cat, who has suddenly become the top older sprinter on the grounds after flourishing going a distance of ground earlier in his career.
Marquette, a 6-year-old son of Spectacular Bid, set the pace for nearly six furlongs before finishing a tiring eighth in the Grade 3 Miami Breeders' Cup Handicap at a mile on Sept. 2. Earlier this summer he upset the Kissin Kris Handicap and was fourth after setting the pace over the main track in the nine-furlong Americana Handicap. He registered the most important victory of his career during the summer of 1999, capturing Saratoga's Grade 2 National Museum of Racing Handicap.
Marquette figures to benefit from a hotly contested pace if trainer Ralph Ziadie decides to let Concorde's Appeal make his grass debut in the Wayme. If not, Sam's Concorde figures to stand some catching as he did four weeks ago when he defeated second-level optional claiming competition over the turf, going wire to wire.
Please Me Doc appears to be the stronger half of trainer Robert W. Leonard's entry. The other half is Phi Beta Doc. Please Me Doc rallied to a three-quarters of a length victory in his local debut in the Clint Essential Handicap, a race moved from the turf to the main track because of rain. The 4-year-old Please Me Doc is also a stakes winner on grass.
Mr. Pleasentfar back on track
Owner-trainer Raja Malek reports that his multiple stakes winner Mr. Pleasentfar is back in training after being given the summer off on the farm.
Mr. Pleasentfar won the Flying Pidgeon Handicap here last summer while being trained by Marty Wolfson.
"There was nothing wrong with him," said Malek. "I just wanted to give him a rest."
Malek said he might point Mr. Pleasentfar for the Grade 2 W. L. McKnight Handicap on Dec. 28.
Showmeitall shows something
Showmeitall, winner of the Grade 2 Hutcheson Stakes and second in the Grade 3 Spectacular Bid last winter, showed he will be a force to reckon with in the sprint division the remainder of the season after finishing second to the more seasoned Built Up in Friday's $36,000 allowance feature. The race marked the first time the 3-year-old Showmeitall had faced older horses.
Showmeitall set the early pace and continued on gamely after being headed by the winner in his first start since finishing a tiring ninth in the Grade 3 Tampa Bay Derby March 17. Showmeitall is trained by Manny Tortora for the Take Five Stable.
For Built Up, the victory was his first in seven starts this year. He had finished second in a pair of stakes, narrowly defeated on both occasions by Tour of the Cat.
o Heavenly Miss worked five furlongs in 1:02.80 here Friday. The 2-year-old, who finished second in each of the first two legs of the filly division of the Florida Stallion Stakes, is among the leading candidates for next Saturday's $100,000 Brave Raj Stakes.

Plantation Forestry
Plantation timber production is the cultivation and long-term management of trees on marginal agricultural land. Plantations are generally even-aged, planted and managed in rows, consist of a single species (sometimes two or three) and cover a large enough area to provide a suitable return on investment. Many different timber and non-timber products can be grown in a plantation. The type of product that you decide to grow and the characteristics of your site will determine the species, management and rotation of your plantation. As such, it is important to research timber markets and to have an in-depth understanding of your property and climate before you establish your plantation.
Benefits of Plantation Forestry
Trees perform multiple functions in the natural landscape. They are a dynamic and resilient land cover. The benefits of forest cover are experienced across the entire catchment with improved water quality, landscape stability, forest connectivity, and the social benefits of increasing the productive potential of marginal rural lands. Similarly, your reafforestation can be designed to perform multiple functions on your property.
Benefits include:
- The stabilisation of soil erosion processes
- Shade and shelter for livestock
- Windbreaks
- Timber production
- Increased capital value of lands
- Soil protection and production
- Aesthetic improvements – the appearance of trees in the landscape, landscaping, screening
- Water table and salinity reduction
- A long-term, low management-input land use
- Conservation outcomes such as native biodiversity and wildlife corridors
- Long-term economic and environmental security
A farm forestry planting may place an emphasis on a single outcome such as timber production or wind protection or it may seek to balance a range of benefits in a multipurpose planting. Finding the right balance of productivity, environmental and aesthetic outcomes can easily be achieved with a simple process of property planning. The planning stage is a chance for you to turn all of your goals and lifestyle objectives into a practical operational plan. It means assessing your resources (natural, human and fiscal), identifying your limitations and your potentials and then planning your land management so as to turn competing values and constraints into complementary processes and outcomes.
Single-tree Site Preparation
The advantages of excavator-based single-tree site preparation processes are:
- No continuous sub soil and soil disturbance, eliminating erosion risk.
- Minimizes exposure of erodible sub soils and retains natural soil profiles whilst achieving appropriate cultivation requirements.
- Manoeuvrability around surface rock, existing vegetation, regeneration and active erosion zones.
- Minimal surface disturbance on cross-land traverses.
- Utilization across all revegetation styles including site preparations under and around retained vegetation.
- Excavator can be utilized for the sensitive construction of fire management infrastructure, access infrastructure, erosion mitigation and pre-site prep weed management in a one pass operation.
- The single-site sub surface winged ripper technique produces site preparation best suited to dry, low nutrient, poorly structured, highly erodible soil profiles, giving young plants the best chance of survival and development under difficult conditions.

Anxiety is a dark companion. The Apostle Paul, writing to Roman Christians about his struggles in living the Christian life says, "When I want to do right, evil lies close at hand" (Romans 7:21). While this refers specifically to the sin nature that is still present in every child of God, one common manifestation of this is anxiety and worry. For most people anxiety is close at hand, lurking in the shadows. It is easily provoked, and with much difficulty is it dealt with.

Emergency crews from the Lexington Division of Fire responded to four calls last month about individuals who overdosed on heroin. Firefighters were able to save three of the four by giving them a shot of Naloxone, also known as Narcan, an antidote that can reverse the effects of opiate drug overdoses. The fourth person died, said Public Safety Commissioner Clay Mason.
More often firefighters are responding to calls about overdoses, and Narcan shots are being administered — and saving lives.
A rising junior at one of Kentucky's public or private high schools will win a $500 scholarship and a photo shoot at his or her school through the "Promote Your School" scholarship contest, sponsored by the Kentucky Higher Education Assistance Authority (KHEAA).
To enter, the student must submit an essay about one of these subjects:
· What my aspiration for my generation is.
· How I am preparing for my future.
· How my education plans will affect my community.

I am back today with another week in review journal spread. This particular week we just happened to spend quite a bit of time with family.
I started out my page by streaking Antique Linen and Weathered Wood Distress Paint down the page. I then used a stencil and some ink spray.
Next I stamped a with few background stamps and black Archival ink.
I used some more Distress paint in brighter colors and let it drip down the page.
I then added in some homemade washi tape. I use the same Distress Paint, Archival ink, and some stamps on medical tape to create my washi tape.
Lastly I added in my pictures, some vellum embellishments, and journaling.
I am submitting this to the Artistic Stamper Anything Goes Challenge. Be sure to pop on over there to see all of the wonderful creations. As always thank very much for stopping by!

Where is this rental located? We are interested in being near Squamish but not north of it.
We would be interested in perhaps a 2 or 3 year lease. Would there be any negotiating on rent if there is such a commitment? Additionally, we have a dog. She is a larger breed and older. She is extremely well trained and not allowed in kitchens and bedrooms. She also comes everywhere with us so is not often left alone but even if she is, she is a lazy breed so not hyper or mischievous.
Thank you
I came across the "worth the commute" rental property on your website. I am looking for a property with similar features in this area. Can you please let me know what the asking rent was for this property?
Also, would it be possible to be contacted if something similar homes becomes available in the spring? I am looking for a place that is ideally no more than 2-3 bedrooms.
Thank you,

Il buco della suora is the latest project from The Lovely Brothers, the team responsible for Building Brooklyn Award-winning Bell End – the restoration of an old stable in a landmark neighborhood of New York. Il buco picks up where Bell End left off, applying principles learned in Brooklyn to the unique landscape of a city built on water.
We were looking for a raised ground-floor apartment in Dorsoduro; high enough never to be troubled by acqua alta, with outdoor space and a private entrance. That we found it in our favourite neighborhood – with friends on the doorstep and the bells of Carmini in our ears – was perfect serendipity.
Dorsoduro 2658, on Calle Degolin had been only fleetingly occupied in thirty years and had slumped into an advanced state of deterioration. Plaster hung off walls and ceilings, the kitchen was derelict, the bathroom unsavory: essentially a ruin. The only option was to tear out everything – ceilings, walls, floors, plumbing, electricity, drainage, windows, doors – and go back to the bones of the building; Jonah in the whale. Difficult enough anywhere, but in Venice, the definition of Sisyphean absurdity.
On the day we signed the papers, the previous owner wandered out of a bar and dropped dead. We were left negotiating with a coterie of ex-wives and fist-waving creditors in Morocco.
Two months later we gathered in a raw, murky hole and stared for an hour at nothing. No power, no light; rubble, broken windows, darkness, cold. Water and salt everywhere: seeping from the walls and up through the floor. The ceiling was the only place not drizzling water; it was too busy raining ceiling. This was the first of several epiphanies; that we had boarded a ship of fools and would be eaten by sharks or each other. The only solution was to climb into a burlap bag full of rocks and jump into the nearest canal.
The process of rebuilding took two years. We surmounted all obstacles, each byzantine edict of Venetian bureaucracy, every exasperating eccentricity of tradesman politics. If you want a refrigerator brought up the canal from the east, have Marco speak to Paolo. From the west, Enrico. Under no circumstances speak to Paolo about the west. Your refrigerator will be bobbing about in the lagoon off Torcello. And don't speak to Giovanni at all about anything unless you want to be taken up the Arsenale with the rough end of a gondola.
But it got done; by hand, boat and rubber wheel. The collective efforts of an incredible team of Venetian artisans doing a credible impersonation of characters from the Commedia Dell'Arte. They'd seen it all before. They know how to shuffle and look at their feet when the Englishman playing Pantalone is having his third stroke of the afternoon.
We reclaimed an old Venetian home, dragging it up from the mire by its fundamentals. Unusually for a city steeped in artifice and disguise, Il buco embraces nakedness. It trusts the functionality of raw materials; brick, stone, ancient wooden beams and architraves, salvaged oak, rough plaster, hand-made tiles, iron, steel. The central flow of the apartment has been retained, with rooms repurposed for a contemporary way of life. Some doors and walls were removed to facilitate space and openness, whilst retaining the rough, natural textures that afford warmth and the feeling of a home. Very little is concealed or embellished. The apartment uses what is endemically beautiful to peel back a century of remodeling, returning to the core principles of the building itself.
Walls are of brick or rough plaster, ceilings of the original wood. Floors were taken back to dirt then resurfaced with hand-made Moroccan tiles, employing a perspective-enhancing design that echoes the floors of Basilica San Marco. Closets and cupboards were eschewed in favour of rough-hewn shelving, so the contents of the apartment – books, records, pots, pans, hooks, hats, coats – become its visual landscape, unique to each group of people who stay in it.
All systems are new and state-of-the-art. Under-floor radiant heat provides a perfect antidote to Venice's damp winter chill (there are few things more life-affirming than climbing out of bed and planting sleepy feet upon a warm floor). The city's summer heat is mitigated by air-conditioning. There is an endless supply of on-demand hot water.
The heart of the house – living/dining room – adjoins the kitchen and yard. The notion that nobody comes to Venice to cook or hang out is a bummer. Tiny kitchens and spindly tables often give way to beds with tented canopies and headboards worthy of Casanova. At Il buco, we put emphasis upon the collective urge to gather, placing a farmhouse table in the middle of the space, chairs around it. The same outside; table, chairs. It's not a home we want people to feel compelled to leave. Communion and sanctuary – talking, cooking, coffee in the morning, wine at night – were guiding principles. Proximity to the kitchen, with its Bertozzoni range, farmhouse sink and array of tools and equipment, means guests can live as a family, in a home. Passing plates of fresh pasta through the kitchen window to waiting hands outside is one of the seminal experiences of being here.
The living/dining room adjoins the largest room in the apartment. It's big, with armchairs, books, turntable, vintage records, typewriter, and an eclectic array of modern American antiques, including vintage megaphones, clam rakes, meathooks and a bass drum from a church marching band. Iron-shuttered windows look out onto a small garden. The leather couch from Spazio Boselli provides the perfect surface for horizontal dozing. However, a couple of easy maneuvers and it becomes a beautiful double bed; the space is instantly transformed from living room to bedroom, with its own en-suite bathroom. Roll the massive barn door shut and you're in your own private suite. The same maneuver in reverse, you're back to a living room.
Bedroom 2, in the front of the house, has a double bed with oak headboard, 50's Murano chandelier and antique Italian military cabinet. It has two large windows onto Calle Degolin for great light, and full-length iron shutters for privacy.
Bedroom 3 has a single oak bed, crystal chandelier and large iron-shuttered window onto Calle Degolin.
Mattresses are new, cotton sheets and towels by Bassetti, blankets from a farm in upstate New York. There is a choice of down or synthetic pillows.
The main bathroom (large enough to stroll around in) has a shower, double sink, toilet and bidet spray.
We avoided the intrusion of a TV in favour of an iMac exclusively for guests, which can be used as a computer or television using your own subscription service. It comes with a superdrive for DVD's and sits in a small office with a window onto the yard (but can be moved to wherever you like). Alternatively, the apartment has high-speed wireless internet, so if you've brought your laptop, you can work or watch stuff on that. Music plays through a wireless Sonos system, using the free Sonos app on any smartphone.
The outside yard is simple and rustic, backing on to the crumbling walls (and windows) of the church catechism school. At certain times of day you can hear the kids in the playground on Calle Lunga. Our rear neighbour is the priest, who took pity on us before furniture arrived from Brooklyn, loaning us two folding chairs. We repaid his generosity with a 50's formica table, gifted from the owner of a palazzo where we found chandeliers; brought home by us along the Grand Canal in a friend's tiny boat. This mutual exchange brought us closer to God (but we've drifted since). There's an old metal table and chairs from Portobuffolé, and a single slab of mahogany sits on saw-horses, providing an impromptu planting table.
There's a front-loading washing machine and drying rack in the closet. And – most critically – un carello with sturdy wheels for frequent trips to the supermarket and beyond. With this and a swift gait you will be able to pass as a Venetian. Just don't speak.
The name of the apartment refers to a 16th century passageway – il buco – that connected Santa Maria dei Carmini to the convent at San Sebastiano. According to legend, cloistered nuns – le suore – would use this dark corridor to attend services at Carmini without being spotted by lay-folk. The Nun's Hole, long-vanished, passed through our little corner of Dorsoduro. We've gone some way to fostering its restoration in Calle Degolin with our own little buco.

Title: Doctor Who: The Eleventh Doctor Year Three #2
Publisher: Titan Comics
Writer: Rob Williams
Artist: Leandro Casco & Welington Diaz
Colorist: Triona Farrell
Lettering: Richard Starking's and Comicraft's Jimmy Betancourt
Cover Artist: Claudia Ianniceiello
Review: ★★☆☆☆
If you're a fan of any science fiction you have some idea who Doctor Who happens to be. This latest issue of DW re-introduces the cult sect the Silence, or the Scream. This alien thing has a bright idea to steal the memories of the Doctor, who has been around for thousands of years. The Scream wants to then inhabit another "seed" body that will spread all over the planet and then to another planet. Like many other instances, the Doctor achieves escape with a new goal ahead. The story is decent, very much a Doctor Who story. I just can't get past the artwork, though. Some of the thick and thin lines work well for the illustrations of the Doctor, but not so much for the rest. The Silence is meant to be scary creatures that were created for show, but you just don't get that feeling here. There are many other quality Doctor Who books to read this month, so skipping this one might not be too bad of an idea

Tacoma artists versus the art world establishment
It's been more than three years since Tacoma has a reliable, respected local art gallery. Three years ago I wrote about the closing of the Tacoma location of the William Traver Gallery and the questions I posited then are still relevant today.
Does the lack of reliable exhibition space impact Tacoma's art scene? What about the collector scene? And what does it mean to Tacoma that we can't keep a high-end gallery open? And do any of these "scenes" actually exist?
No traditional galleries, no problem?
The conversation regarding art, commerce, and artists in Tacoma is still relatively young and regularly debated: events like a gallery closing help continue the discussion, focusing our contemplation and interaction with our local art scene.
Where can the art-curious look for guidance in collecting and exploring Tacoma art? And are high-end galleries even the right place to look?
Tacoma has seen galleries come and go with an alarming but not, even at a national level, uncommon rate. Some have concluded brilliant efforts with much collective hand-wringing, some have flickered out with little notice, some have stormed out and perhaps a few of us thought "good riddance."
None of these reactions exactly describes mine to the 2012 closing of the Traver Gallery. I loved Traver. As a former Museum of Glass employee and fan of glass art, Traver's exhibitions and openings were regularly a favorite happening for me. But, as a poor person, there was never an opportunity for me to truly consider this kind of art ownership, making my presence and enthusiasm at an opening not particularly meaningful. I was just there to be excited, appreciative, and to enjoy free snacks.
In contrast, I have on multiple occasions, walked away from a show at Fulcrum Gallery with a coveted new piece for my collection; I write, exclaim, and speechify eagerly about local art; I try to recommend my favorite artists and creators to anyone and everyone looking for freelance contributors; I'm committed and vocal about supporting Tacoma artistry.
But outside of our local university art galleries, we don't have a Tacoma gallery. Our art museums both have sophisticated gift shops that feature regional art at a high price, perhaps leaving little need or demand for pricey art in Tacoma's downtown. Gallery representation is a part of one equation to realize one's dreams of conquering the art world, but more and more we see different strategies achieving success.
Inspired by the shifting tides in Tacoma's art scene, I asked for thoughts and opinions from a few of my favorite local artists, many of whom create and survive full time on their art.
What our artists have to say
As local artist Chandler O'Leary puts it, "It has always been true that galleries are dependent on artists for survival. And for many, many years, the reverse was largely true as well. But thanks to the advent of artist-entrepreneurs, widely available business resources, social media, and the like—the artist-gallery relationship is changing."
Tacoma artist Lance Kagey puts it, "The traditional model of an artist doing their art and then having it presented by a stand-alone gallery is no longer a working equation to create living wages for artists. At least not around here."
Some of the opinions and experiences of Chandler, Lance, Elise Richman, Holly Senn, and from gallerist and artist Oliver Doriss surprised me, and some confirmed what I assumed.
Between all five artists there were a few areas where their unanimity was telling: namely, none of these artists have regular Tacoma art-buyers above the $200 level, none of them are represented exclusively by any gallery, and they all have strong opinions about the efficacy and place for a traditional gallery in Tacoma.
"To be brutally honest, I don't know anybody who frequents commercial galleries, including myself and other artists and collectors," Chandler pointed out. "Unless there is a specific exhibit to draw one-time viewers, there are fewer and fewer reasons to visit commercial galleries—especially since there are more and more excellent shows at non-commercial (or non-art!) venues."
Fulcrum owner Oliver Doriss succinctly states: "It's just like those condos down there [Tacoma's downtown waterfront] and much of the 2003 development boom. You can't force a California business model onto a Tacoma City. It just won't work and it ain't Tacoma's fault."
Oliver has proven that he knows what he's talking about, having for years maintained a brick-and-mortar gallery in Tacoma's Hilltop neighborhood with little to no neighboring businesses and no traditional customer base.
Oliver's effort has not gone unappreciated. Says Lance, "Fulcrum is a great example where Oliver has another source of income and he uses the gallery not so much as a distribution point for art collectors but as a gathering place for the art community." (Not only is this a validation for Oliver and his hard work, it also affirms my commitment to events-based on art-looking and snack-eating.)
As Chandler explains: "The Traver Galleries of the world wouldn't dream of talking to me, but I've found that that doesn't matter, because I've found a niche without them. And when I do have work for sale in galleries (or even regular retail shops), it doesn't sell nearly as well—if it sells at all."
For Chandler, about half of her overall sales every year are to Tacomans and her most successful means of selling in Tacoma are through annual studio tours, craft/art fairs, word-of-mouth, and Etsy. Lance Kagey and Beautiful Angle also find the most success selling online.
Chandler's local income is made up of lots and lots of low- to mid-range buyers, but the vast majority of those are return customers.
Lance affirms this model, "I believe the working artist/creatives of today need to have a range of economic streams in order to create an eco-system that sustains their work. For example; several artists/creatives that I know who live in Tacoma own small business enterprises, vie for public grants, sell online, have gallery shows as well as do significant self-promotion in order to create the lifestyle they desire. I don't know any who survive on the charity of a wealthy benefactor. I think this model is more challenging but more rewarding as well."
Where is the local avant garde?
Tacoma's landscape for artists and creative small businesses continues to evolve to a point where the difference between the possibilities for revenue generation by an independent salt and spice blender, a hyper-local cheese maker, a Dome District brewery, and a letterpress artist selling online and at local markets has blurred to near indistinguishability.
Of course, this model is pretty specific to more consumable artwork (prints, posters, jewelry, small, 2D artwork); what happens when your medium falls under the definition of a more avant garde or fine art (large scale paintings, sculpture, or experiential)?
Both Holly Senn and Elise Richman create complex, time consuming works of art, none of which can be easily replicated as prints or another low cost option in order to cater to Tacoma's $40-$200 art-buying community. When it comes to the market for their work in town, their buyers tend to be friends and colleagues.
Holly and Elise exhibit regularly in the Northwest and are well-regarded throughout the region; as Holly says "I've found a lot of success exhibiting my work in Tacoma and Portland. And although I occasionally sell work, sales of my work are hard to come by, irrespective of the city where I exhibit."
Although I wouldn't be surprised to see work from any of the artists I spoke with in a traditional art space, Elise and Holly both create work that resonates with a clear contemporary "gallery" or "museum" feel: sophisticated, challenging, academic, often avant garde and of surprising size or shape, their art is definitely something I want but would think twice about touching.
Holly affirms the need for the art gallery space: "I think that galleries showing edgy, thought-provoking, contemporary art are necessary for a visual art culture to develop and survive. The galleries don't need to be high end, they need to be risk takers."
This subtle dichotomy between our more "accessible" (handheld/frameable art) and our more "contemporary" Tacoma art (art that doesn't easily sit on a shelf) isn't problematic but the spectrum deserves attention.
It's important that we continue to exhibit artists like Holly Senn and Elise Richman but more than that, we have to discuss why their pieces challenge and engage us. At the same time, we have to continue the conversation of the importance of print and letterpress to our art community, and to reflect on the avant garde elements regularly displayed in Chandler's, Beautiful Angle's, and other's work.
Addressing the need: Spaceworks, Tacoma Art Walk, and the City of Tacoma Arts Month
It's clear we need and want access to a variety of spaces and places where we can explore and consider art and its creation.
Our museums, the annual open studio tours, and Spaceworks Tacoma are confirmed vital, valued, and exciting entry points for Tacomans and visitors to explore expression.
Elise echoes this need for variety, "It's great to have a spectrum of venues for visual art. I think Tacoma would be even better served, however by a vibrant nonprofit space than by an established commercial gallery. I'm more interested in spaces that are driven by ideas and vision than the market."
Spaceworks Tacoma is working overtime to bring this dream to life.
The Spaceworks effect is clear in the vital, potent 1120 Creative House, established by Spaceworks in March 2015. Between Spaceworks and the work of the revitalized Tacoma Art Walk, downtown Tacoma comes alive with emerging artists, performances, and installations in a way it hasn't in recent memory – and possibly not ever.
This concept for dynamic, interactive arts space is a need we've heard expressed with growing regularity and it shares sentiment with another fantastic idea I heard from both Lance and Holly.
Holly imagines Tacoma hosting an art fair to encourage both local and visiting buyers.
"I've thought it would be interesting for Tacoma to host an art fair like Art Basel Miami–to bring in hundreds of local, national, and international galleries and artists for a huge event. I could see the event capitalizing on Tacoma's water location by having events and exhibits on the Ruston Way waterfront and the Thea Foss waterway."
Lance agrees:
"I do think there are things that could be done to develop the art scene in Tacoma. One major concept that should be explored is the idea of a nationally recognized festival of art/music. I know we have a lot of festivals in Tacoma, probably too many, but what I'm talking about is a major city-wide arts festival – think Venice Bienniale.When the broader region begins to see Tacoma as an art center, then the galleries and other arts enterprises will have a chance to flourish.
"But this kind of effort can't be done by the artist community alone. It would need the Arts establishment (Tacoma Art Museum, Museum of Glass), it would need the real-estate developers, property owners, it would need the educational entities, it would need the business community and the government working in collaboration to really make it work.
What can we do now? Continue talking, dreaming and striving. Create new ventures, try new things, see if there is someone else doing something interesting that you can support or join in with to create the critical mass needed to sustain these efforts. It is very easy to get involved in Tacoma – something unique from other urban settings."
I'm not sure a fancy, curated, internationally recognized art fair is the answer but it's definitely a spectacle I would love to attend in Tacoma.
We have made some steps in a direction that could result in such an event.
Tacoma Art Museum annually hosts the respected Northwest Biennial; the University of Puget Sound, University of Washington Tacoma, Pacific Lutheran University, and Tacoma Community College all have strong, reputable art programs with talented faculty; the City of Tacoma hosts an entire month of art activities each November with regular impressive attendance; Tacomans regularly flirt with and produce many, many art festivals each year. What's to prevent these forces from joining?
Like Chandler, Lance, Holly, Oliver, and Elise, I very much look forward to more continued experiments, innovation, and conversation about what art means and can do for our city.
The Travers may come and go, but Tacoma continues to mature and grow as a creative community and I can't wait to see where we go next.
Stay in the loop for upcoming arts activities with the City of Tacoma Arts Program, Tacoma Art Museum, Tacoma Art Walk, and Spaceworks Tacoma.

3 Responses to Tacoma artists versus the art world establishment
Last year I visited Austin Texas during EAST, East Austin Studio Tour, and was blown away by the event. It isn't the Venice Bienniale, but it certainly is big, comprehensive, well advertised and attended by thousands of people. Austin is not what you would think of as an art town. Not many galleries or venues. A lot of artists live and work in Austin, and sell elsewhere. Under the auspices of a central organizer, once a year the east half of the city becomes a giant gallery for two weekends. Every studio has open house, many artists open their homes, and groups of artists rent warehouses and spaces. A huge color catalogue is offered free, with maps. Other events happen too, music, shows, lectures, exhibits. All kinds of art. All kinds of artists. All kinds of art-lookers. What a feast.
bring back the helm gallery!

That is the question. I am on Twitter and sometimes some of the spoof accounts are quite funny. We have the Pope, The Queen, Prince Charles and many, many more. Sometimes I sit and chuckle at the humour of these people behind these accounts, and I don't pay or give much credence to what they say.
It is a bit of fun…
Or is it? Should that person ever feel harassed or feel their name is being tarnished, then what rights do they have to stop this behaviour?
Twitter on the 1st August 2012 will hand over the details of one of these spoofed accounts.. @UnSteveDorkland. I don't know the ins and outs but Twitter will be handing over this persons details to Northcliffe Media a subsidiary of the Daily Mail Group.
You can follow this on Order-Order.com and it appears now that Lord Rothermere has now thrown his weight behind Northcliffe Media in their fight against this spoof account.
The BBC has this to say about spoof accounts:
Two other spoof Twitter accounts come to mind. @Queen_UK purports to be our monarch, and portrays Her Majesty quite affectionately as a gin-swilling granny with a mischievous take on the world. Typical tweet – "One would report that one is enjoying an olympic sized gin, but one doesn't have the necessary sponsorship rights."
Then there is our own dear The Killing Station (@killingstation), an account set up in tribute to Television Centre's very fine BBC staff catering facility, the Filling Station. It mocks both the food on offer and prominent BBC correspondents. Here's a typical offering: "What's so bleedin' special about our Special Correspondents? Apart from the fact that they never say please or thank you. Never. Ever. Rude."
And they go on to say:
All good fun – but what if Buckingham Palace or the BBC decided that they were not amused, that these spoof accounts were in fact offensive and constituted harassment of staff? Then both organisations could go to court in California and have a good chance of forcing Twitter to unmask the people behind @Queen_UK or @killingstation.
I do have to ask myself though one question.. how would you feel if a spoof account was set up in your name to mock you? Would you be happy about it, especially if what was being written could be construed as libellous and defamatory?
Unfortunately, social media, is now finding that people who use it have different levels of interaction. What one person might find funny another person might frown upon or find absolutely disgusting.. We all have our own levels of humour.. but one thing I will say is this..
If Northcliffe Media, thought their staff were being harassed, why not just ask Twitter to remove the account.. and that be the end of it?
Why haven't Twitter just suspended the account? Why are they allowing this account to continue to post? Surely they could suspend the account until the legalities are sorted.
And another thing, by taking this guy to Court, haven't Northcliffe Media created more publicity for this account? Up until I read about this story I never knew a @UnSteveDorkland twitter account even existed… but I do now.
And by reading the account it appears that many people are offering their support to him.
But perhaps the lesson to be learnt here is there is a thin line of being funny and being libellous. It doesn't matter where you stand.. nobody has a right to tarnish another person's character or to write lies about them.
I am not saying I agree with Northcliffe Media and their action, but I am questioning the actions of Twitter. They don't seem to be doing anything to protect their users or people who are being vilified day in and day out on Twitter.
As far as I can see they are in fact giving those under the threat of being taken to court more rope to hang themselves by not removing these accounts.
When backed into a corner people can lash out.. and sometimes it is in those lashing out moments that you say or write, in the case of Twitter, something you later live to regret. Come on Twitter… you have a duty to protect users… at least suspend accounts until there is a resolution..
We have international laws …. perhaps it is now time to have an international law for the internet. Something written in stone that every country and person will have to adhere to… and something that will stop certain people using another Country's laws to win a case. Especially if they can get a bigger pay-out or the laws are more lenient towards their case.

Bananagrams: The Strategies
There are a few methods that can assist a player to win extra constantly.
The first strategy is to start to place your letters since you turn over them above. Instead of racing to obtain your letters twisted up initially, take an additional second to start forming words.
Each time you handle a letter or concentrate on it gratuitously is an instant of getting lead to the other players.
Don't abandon except it is completely required. When you have given up trust on a letter, the opponent will announce, "Peel", also it may be that the subsequent drawn letter is the one you require to figure a word having the letters you already contain.
The one letter that might suitably be discarded is "Q". Though, if you are trapped with a "Q" and have no "U" before you there is one simple and genuine "Q" word that does not need a "U" - "Qat". If your opponents asked it, it is a tropical evergreen plant known as Khat.
While placing letters remember those that can simply be cannibalized later on, particularly letters required to build two-letter words that are linked to longer words.
This allows you to stay firm while you are shedding single letters from the group. Do not be uncertain to draw letters from the center of a word if you want them.
The uncertainty will cost you more than the time it takes to shove two sets of words jointly.
Do not worry if the opponent starts "peel" and "peel" again. This rarely continues for long which means that he or she is forming rapid two-letter words or he may run into a tricky letter.
"K", "C", "J" and "Z" all are likely to be "peel"-stoppers. But, remember that there are several familiar words that have the letter "Z" and words begin with "Z". Four letter words having consonant-vowel-Z-E can generally be rapidly put together.
"J" is possibly tougher to face than "Z". Target on common 3-letter words that starts with "J" such as "jar", "jam", "jag", "jig", "jib", et al. "C" and "K" frequently need extra creativeness.
Target on usual letter combinations that frequently are required for a "K", such as "KN", "NK", and "CK". And there is forever the old reserve; most letters (except "J" and "Q") can be simply created into words with a silent "E" conclusion.
You will rarely get a fluke hand that is unstable having one or the other. Work with what you have BEFORE you make your mind up to abandon.
Only abandon before forming any words if you only have one or the other having no hope of forming ANY words.
Bananagrams: The Variations
The Bananagrams maker recommends a pair of variation and at the primary they name "Banana Smoothie", which they speak, is less hectic than the normal game.
The players start by separating all the letters and there cannot be peeling or dumping.
Otherwise the match ends in the same way as the normal rules, with the first performer by means of all his letters declare, "Bananas!"
There is moreover a variation to play in restaurant while waiting for service called "Banana Cafe". In this edition, the players select 21 letters.
There is no peeling, but dumping is permitted. The extra strips are reserved in the bag.
The "Banana Solitaire" game begins through 21 letters which you can also peel when wanted but Play out with all 144 tiles and you can also target your time yourself.
This is an enormous way to get ready for play against others as it gives abundance of practice in integrate a single letter into a huge board of tiles.
Having teams is one more fun way to take part in Bananagrams.
This requires a level of coordination particularly if there are more than two players on a team.
To handicap a player, build them begin with extra letters, or better yet require them not to apply two-letter words.
The game, certainly, become more complicated when two-letter words are illegitimate for all players.
Another difference require a player dumping a letter to perform face side up thus no other player is confront with the letter, although a player who preserve to use it, might grasp it on the next peel.
One of the good things regarding Bananagrams is that it is flexible. Tailor your own variation!

Celebrate Your Wheels
When it comes to our cars, it's like having a gigantic, two ton, metal baby. We love our rides; we take care of them, we feed them, etc. We love our cars, and we try to show it with regular tune ups, check ups, and more. However, sometimes it feels like we're taking our cars for granted. When that happens, you may feel the need to pay tribute to your wheels, and let me tell you, there are no human sacrifices require to please your ride. It's much simpler than you think. Here are just a few small ways to celebrate your wheels.
First and foremost, consider the power of effigy. When we hear the wrod "effigy," we often pair it with "burning in" meaning to burn a representation of someone as a protest of them or for black magic purposes. However, effigies had to exist before this tradition, and statues are an ancient example. One way you can celebrate your wheels is to make a replica. You could take my dad's route and just build a model of the same make and, well, model, and paint it to your match your IRL wheels. Or, you could reconstruct your car out of papier mache. My personal favorite idea in this camp is to make a replica or your car out of Lego. (Yes, the plural form of Lego is Lego. Fun fact!) Or, if you're more artisitcally inclined, you could paint or draw your car, and maybe even from a reference photo of the two of you together.
Another way to celebrate your car is to finally go in for that makeover you've always wanted. This approach is a bit more costly, but it's hard to argue with the results. When it comes to car customization, there are a surprising amount of options available, so it can be hard to choose.
For example, when it comes to paintjobs, the standard, glossy finish is not your only choice. Matte finishes are a popular alternative, and I must say I'm a fan of this look, but I like it either way. Decals are another option to consider. Whether you want racing stripes, hot rod flames, or Mystery Machine floral designs, decals offer you a lot of interesting designs to spice up your car's appearance. There a number of accessories to consider, as well. For starters, you can reupholster the interior, or simply use seat covers, to create an interior that matches or complements the exterior.

Daniel Goh of The Good Beer Company
Thanks to Daryl Tay, I had the chance to attend Social Media Breakfast recently. Held at The Loft in Chinatown, it was great listening to my buddy Daniel Goh of The Good Beer Company speak about his experience in setting up a craft beer stall in a hawker centre in Chinatown. Readers may know that I first wrote about the stall when it opened back in Oct 2011.
Before he ventured into being a specialty beer seller, Daniel was a PR professional who worked in diverse companies (including mine) as well as MNCs like Samsung and Blizzard Entertainment before he ditched his corporate togs for a hawker's apron. He also manages (and still does) a pretty solid business and entrepreneurship blog called Young Upstarts (I'm a proud contributor).Read More

The somewhat notorious Terra Nova—known for its swollen budget and creative upheavals—appears to be going ahead guns blazing, at least judging by these first shots from the pilot episode.
We included Terra Nova in our TV preview because of the strength of the idea—the Earth of the future is becoming a decimated husk, and so pioneers are blazing a trail into the prehistoric past to start new lives—and the caliber of the people involved, including executive producer Spielberg, show runner Brannon Braga (Star Trek: Voyager, Threshold) and the strong cast (led by Jason O'Mara and Stephen Lang).

Today the companion was awesome! He woke up at 7am, got the bike ready to go, had breakfast, and got moving before 9am!
The goodness of the start changed. The companion couldn't seem to get going this morning. I couldn't get any speed even on flat or declines. Then he looked at the back break and realized that it was holding the wheel. So today turned into a struggle for the companion.
He did it without complaint and I was happy for him.
We passed by these huge wind farms. These big huge massive windmills. They line the mountain side in Mojave, CA. And in Tehachapi too. The companion loves them. He thinks they are like giants that silently guard everyone. But as we got closer we noticed they sometimes make a Woooshing sound Woooosh! Wooooosh! Woooooosh! Kind of nice though. The companion's thoughts needed a distraction from his struggle to pedal today.
He turned to me and said: "When you focus on the struggle, you struggle more, and time goes by slowly."
We were told by another man on a bike that we would go up hill for about 20 miles then head downward. The road was heading up and the companion was doing well. But then it went down. He turns to me and said: "No way we've gone 20 miles. Could it be that that guy was wrong?"
I didn't think the man was wrong and neither did the companion And he wasn't. The road turned up and went up for a long long time. It was so steep the trucks were having trouble going up them. So he pushed up the steep hills, and told me what he was dreaming for his life.
"I'd like to go visit mom and dad once a year, at least. I'd like to have a job. I'd like to teach college again, or even try writing for a small town newspaper. I'd like to live in a small town, or a medium sized town. Just a place to live where I can grow some tomatoes this summer. Oh look there's a Joshua Tree. (I did not bite him as I promised I would.) This is the biggest one we've seen. Tomato plants, that's one of my goals for this year: have some tomato plants! I'd like to be published."
Then he got quiet for a little. Then said: "I just want to find us a home, and be happy."
It's the high desert. The desert does things to you when you are in it for days.
Then we headed down hill, for miles! The companion kept yelling: looking you go flying girl.
He was making fun of my ears.
Well we reached Tehachapi and took a break. The town is really cute and if we didn't want to get to Bakersfield tonight, we would have stayed.
So we are in Bakersfield, CA now. And the companion has announced: we are now out of the high desert! Well thank goodness! I don't know how much more introspection I can take! I need smells!

TAUT was present at the December 2008 opening of Valley Metro Rail. The initial 32km (20-mile) LRT starter line that connects three cities – Phoenix, Tempe and Mesa – opened with great fanfare, proudly proclaiming the beginning of a planned 106km (66-mile) high-capacity transit system. Then the reality of the global recession kicked in and these plans were curtailed, until 2015 when the first 5km (3.1-mile) extension opened taking the system further eastwards to downtown Mesa.
Now regrouped, and with a second extension having opened in 2016 taking riders further north-west in Phoenix, it is all systems go. Major projects are underway that will realise those initial dreams of a network; plans that include the addition of a low-floor modern streetcar in the city of Tempe that will connect to the regional light rail system.
A little background
Phoenix is the state capital and the largest city in Arizona, located in the south-west of the USA and bordering California, Nevada, Utah and New Mexico. The Mexican International boundary forms its southern edge. The state also touches Colorado in the north-east corner, the only point in the US where four states meet, known internationally as the Four Corners.
Phoenix is also the major metropolis in Maricopa County, which covers nearly 24 000km2 (9230 square miles), with a rapidly growing population that in 2015 reached nearly four million residents.
Valley Metro is responsible for co-ordination of regional transit services in the county and acts more like a British Passenger Transport Executive or German Verkehrsverbund rather than merely as an operator. Buses are owned generally by the cities in which they operate under a contract with Valley Metro, which also owns vehicles that operate in some smaller cities and in unincorporated areas of the County.
Valley Metro explained that there are 15 cities and towns, as well as Maricopa County itself, that are members of Valley Metro and purchase bus and paratransit services from the regional transit agency. Each of these jurisdictions have a seat on the Valley Metro Board. Also operating under this brand is Valley Metro Rail, a non-profit public corporation that receives policy direction from the five-member agency Board of Directors.
The city of Scottsdale (population 230 000, located around 20km/12 miles to the east of Phoenix), is one of the larger cities in Maricopa County and does not pay into Valley Metro Rail, and thus is not part of the plans to expand the light rail system, but is linked to other parts of the metropolitan region utilising the grid network of bus routes, including express bus, that travel from Phoenix, Tempe and other local cities.
The coming of light rail
The initial 2008 line started at 19th Avenue and Montebello in northern Phoenix, running south along Central Avenue before splitting in the city's downtown area. Southbound it switches to 1st Avenue as far as Jefferson where it turns east before joining the north-western alignment on Washington near 11th Street. In the reverse direction, the alignment continues west on Washington to the downtown area where it turns north on the parallel Central Avenue before rejoining the reverse alignment near Portland Street. The system is double-track throughout and laid to standard gauge.
The route continues east along Washington to 44th Street where there is a Sky Train connection to allow convenient transfer to Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. Nearby, the 12 820m2 (138 000 ft2) Operations and Maintenance Center (OMC) is located on a 14ha. (35-acre) site on 48th Street and is reached by a double-track connection east of 51st Street.
The five-track facility employs around 200 operational and maintenance staff, and in April 2015 a new solar power installation saw the addition of 2800 solar voltaic panels spanning 0.5ha. (1.15 acres). The panels are mounted at both ground-level and on parking lot shade canopies, taking advantage of the city's 360 days of annual sunshine to generate 1.3m kWh of energy, meeting 35% of the facility's energy needs. This project was supported by a USD2.7m grant from the Federal Transit Investments for Greenhouse Gas & Energy Reduction (TIGGER) programme.
The alignment continues again along Washington to just short of the junction with Lakeview Drive where it becomes separate trackage turning south to cross the Salt River (known here as Tempe Town Lake) on a purpose-built bridge, before entering the city of Tempe where it turns east. There is a major Transit Center at the Veterans Way/College Avenue station where there are connections with Valley Metro, local and circulator bus services.
The route continues along Main Street to Sycamore Drive in the city of Mesa, which was the initial terminus. An 802-space park-and-ride and Transit Center is located immediately to the north of the station on Main Street. Apart from the section between East Lake Drive and Veterans Way, the alignment is entirely at street level, although there is almost total grade separation. There are numerous level crossings with signal priority for light rail. All of the trackway is paved, with access to tracks granted only to Valley Metro service vehicles.
Services operate 04.00-23.00 Monday to Thursday with the final trip ending its day at the OMC at 01.00. On Fridays and Saturdays there is a 20-minute frequency throughout the night after 19.00. Services start an hour later at weekends. Headways are every 12 minutes Monday to Friday; every 15 minutes on Saturday and every 20 minutes on Sundays and holidays. Many bus routes naturally act as light rail feeders based on the arterial grid system of streets throughout the region; this extensive network now offers comprehensive transit coverage.
Stations are generally island platforms in the centre of the street, but in the core area there is gutter-running on 1st and Central Avenues with sidewalk-located stations. All stations have ticket vending machines, timetables and sheltered seating with a next train digital display and public address announcements. The station platforms
are 85m to accommodate trains of three coupled LRVs.
As of February 2017, a single ride cost USD2 with an All-Day pass costing USD4; these fares are valid for travel on both light rail and bus. Premium fares are charged on express buses and reduced fares are available for students, seniors and people with disabilities. The honour system, subject to regular checks, is used on the light rail line, while all passes are checked upon boarding a bus where a rider must pay an exact fare – transfers are not issued because the All-Day pass is valid to travel between bus and rail and acts as a transfer. Valley Metro estimates that fare evasion is around 6% on light rail, with approximately 20% of passengers randomly checked.
The road to expansion
Two extensions have opened since the starter line began operations eight years ago. The first was inaugurated in August 2015, seven months ahead of schedule, with the addition of 5km (3.1 miles) along Main Street in Mesa from Sycamore to Mesa Drive. This added four new stations: Alma School, Country Club, Center and Mesa Drive, which is the current terminus. At this point there is a long turnback and tail track extending to Ashland, where a spare car is kept as back-up if needed during the service day.
This extension cost USD199m, of which 38% came from a USD75m Federal Small Starts grant, 36% (USD71.2m) regional funds and 27% (USD53m) from Federal air quality grants. A 445-space park-and-ride is located at the north-east corner of Mesa Drive and Main Street. With this new facility, there is less demand on the park-and-ride at Sycamore and Main Street, providing an opportunity to redevelop its use.
The addition of a second 5.15km (3.2-mile) extension in less than nine months allows riders to travel further north along 19th Avenue from Montebello to Dunlap Avenue. There are three new stations located at Glendale, Northern and Dunlap, where there is a park-and-ride with an art plaza anchoring the northwest portion of the line.
The USD327m cost of this extenson was met 56% by regional funds and 44% from a local Phoenix contribution. Somewhat higher than the Mesa extension of similar length, this is due largely to the need to widen 19th Avenue, along with extensive underground work that required replacement and installation of more than 15km (nine miles) of new utilities. Known as Northwest Extension Phase I, it is the initial segment that will eventually expand service to the Metrocenter Mall west of I-17.
A fleet of 50 Kinkisharyo light rail vehicles was ordered for the 2008 opening, which were assembled locally following the shipping of bodyshells from Japan and thus complying with the 60% Buy America legislation. The 70% low-floor, double-ended, three-section vehicles are 27.7m long and 2.65m wide, and are similar in engineering terms to those in Seattle and San Jose, but with rather different front ends. The six-axle vehicles usually operate in pairs but trains are often expanded to three cars in the peak or for special events. Heavy-duty HVAC systems with four power modules (one for reserve) were incorporated to cope with the extreme summer conditions, where temperatures often exceed 42°C (110°F).
In January 2016, Valley Metro launched a 'Multi-Year Light Rail Vehicle Acquisition Program' that specified a base order for 11 new LRVs with options for up to 58 more over a seven-year period. New vehicles will be required as the system expands.
In addition to a new infill station at 50th Street and Washington scheduled to open in 2019, there are five major expansion projects in the advanced planning stage that are planned to open by 2023. This is an accelerated construction process largely made possible by Transportation 2050 (T2050), a multi-modal transportation plan approved by Phoenix voters in August 2015. Funding for T2050 is generated by a 0.7% sales tax which went into effect on 1 January 2016; the measure will be largely dedicated to expanding and improving transit, streets and bike/pedestrian facilities in Phoenix.
Over the life of the 35-year plan revenues from the sales tax are estimated to generate around USD16.7bn, or almost half of the plan's overall cost. An additional USD14.8bn is projected to be generated from Federal and County funds, passenger fares and other sources. Combined, this is expected to raise USD31.5bn in total over the next 35 years.
The 3km (1.9-mile) Gilbert Road Extension, expected to open in 2019, will extend light rail further east on Main Street to a new park-and-ride facility and Transit Center at Gilbert Road with one additional intermediate station. Unique for a US LRT system, there will be a roundabout on the route which the light rail will cross at grade through its centre. The USD153m cost is being supplied by both local and Federal dollars.
Coming of the Streetcar
In 2020 an all-new mode for Valley Metro will be introduced with the arrival of the Tempe Streetcar. This is a USD186m project of which USD75m is planned to come from the Federal Small Starts programme. A contract has been approved with Stacy and Witbeck for construction but cannot be signed and implemented until FTA approval is received, which Valley Metro is expecting imminently (as at February 2017).
The 4.8km (three-mile) route will start at an interchange with the existing light rail service at Dorsey Lane. From there it will run west along Apache Boulevard to Mill Avenue where it will turn north to a point just short of Tempe Town Lake. Here it will turn east to a terminus at the major Marina Heights development that includes both office and retail space over an 8ha. (20-acre) site. The route includes a downtown loop on Mill and Ash Avenues and 14 stops. Each stop will include public art to capture the essence of each neighbourhood along the streetcar route.
New low-floor vehicles will be used for the service due to the density and compactness of the areas in and around downtown Tempe. The streetcars will be stored and maintained at the existing OMC, utilising light rail tracks at the beginning and end of each day to travel from downtown Tempe. Part of the system will operate utilising off-wire or battery capability, primarily along Mill Avenue and from Ash Avenue at 9th Street to Rio Salado/Hayden Ferry, which complements the streetscape and environment. Valley Metro has stated that these vehicles will be different from its existing light rail vehicles, being more akin to the streetcars seen in Dallas and Detroit.
The other three light rail projects are all planned to be in service in 2023. The South Central extension, having accelerated from the orignal planned opening in 2034, is now a very fast-moving project. Its exact cost is not yet known, although it is expected to be funded by T2050. The route is an approximately 8km (five-mile) continuation south on Central Avenue to its junction with Baseline Road, with seven stations.
Valley Metro commented that "the City of Phoenix has been identified as one of seven cities, and the only city west of Baton Rouge, (Louisiana) chosen to participate in the Ladders Transportation Empowerment Pilot (LadderSTEP). This distinct identification has been critical for the South Central project acceleration and will offer opportunities to connect, revitalise and create jobs for the South Central area of Phoenix. Last autumn the city was awarded a USD2m Transportation Planning Excellence Awards (TPEA) grant from the FTA. These funds will be used to initiate an early action business assistance program for our local and small businesses in the community."
Secondly, the Northwest Phase II Extension will extend light rail from Dunlap Avenue north and west across I-17 to a new Transit Center in the Metrocenter Mall area where Valley Metro is planning a transit hub. This 2.4km (1.5-mile) route will have two stations although as it is still in the Environmental Assessment stage no project costs are available. It will be partially funded by T2050.
Another project for completion by 2023 is the first phase of the Capitol/I-10 West Extension, which will connect Valley Metro Rail to the State Capitol area with three proposed stations. Again, the project is at the Environmental Assessment stage with no final cost confirmed. The longer-term plan is to extend service an additional 16km (ten miles) west utilising the I-10 freeway alignment, either in the median or at the northern edge, to 79th Avenue where a Transit Center and park-and-ride are planned. This is a long-planned project aimed at supporting travel demand in the I-10 corridor.
Planning is also underway to connect northeast Phoenix and downtown Glendale to Valley Metro Rail.
View from the top
When TAUT met Scott W Smith, former Mayor of Mesa and now Valley Metro CEO, he was asked what obstacles he faced moving from politician to the leader of a transit agency. Smith, an advocate for the initial light rail line that opened in December 2008, openly admits that he found the transition challenging, but with both political goodwill and full support from within Valley Metro he has settled into the role and it is working well. His political background allows him ample experience as he works with two Boards of Directors who set policy and guide the agency.
Smith stated that with 16m light rail riders (out of a 67m total) in 2016, light rail is very much a part of the fabric of the community and a necessity for many of its users. Transit carries around 15% of commuters in peak times, somewhat higher than the US average of less than 10%. He cited transformational examples of senior citizens who did not wish to drive at night but who are now happy to use transit and who feel that it gives them more freedom of choice in that they are not tied to their cars. According to economic development data, light rail has significantly contributed to the USD8.9bn public and private investment along the system.
Perhaps surprisingly, Smith sees transportation network companies such as Uber or Lyft as important partners for the agency, particularly when considering the "first and last mile element in journeys". Despite this he does accept that whilst it may enhance rail usage – indeed promotional partnerships have been run around special events – it could lead to new opportunities to support connections to bus services. He is also excited by the various rail developments, although there were added factors in the construction of the Gilbert Road extension moving the date beyond its original start-up. He felt the causes, mainly unplanned utility relocation issues, are now being managed and incorporated into the new schedule.
The recent approval of the T2050 sales tax creates amazing transit opportunities, he added, highlighting the importance that all of the communities represented by Valley Metro see the tangible benefits. There are six studies covering provision of additional services in the cities of Phoenix, Glendale, Peoria, Chandler, Mesa and Gilbert; these options include high-capacity transit.
When asked about future light rail vehicle procurements, clearly necessary with such ambitious expansion, Smith explained that they work with agency partners to determine the best option for the region.
Metropolitan Phoenix is clearly delivering what it has promised in terms of environmentally-friendly and socially-inclusive transit options. The latest extensions enhance the opportunities for many more residents and businesses and significantly improve the quality of the service provided. The higher than expected ridership reflects the success of light rail.
The flat fare for a system covering such a large geographic area adds to the attractiveness, with simplicity being a virtue.
Grateful thanks to Scott Smith, Susan Tierney and Corinne Holliday of Valley Metro for their assistance in the preparation of this article.

My name is Iris and I'm a 24-year old student. I was born and raised in the city of Utrecht in the middle of The Netherlands.
Ever since I was little I have been fascinated by art, especially visual art. As both my parents are artists, they have always stimulated me to express myself in whatever way and especially my mother taught me a lot.
My parents also often took my little brother and me to museums. Whenever we entered a museum, my mom assigned me to pick my favorite and my least favorite work of art in each room of the museum. Then she asked me to explain to her what I liked about a certain work of art and disliked about the other. This way, she taught me to be critical from a very young age and to put to words my opinion and thoughts about a piece of art.
In both primary school as well as in high school I followed extra courses in painting, drawing, sculpturing as well as in dance.
Fast forward to college. I studied Media and Culture and Film on the University of Amsterdam. During my third year I spent a couple of months in New York City to do an internship at FilmNation, a major film production and distribution company. This internship not only provided me the awesome opportunity to live in New York City for a while, but also taught me how to read and write coverages for scripts, something that was not just very fun to do, but also gave me a lot of insight in the film world and business and how to reflect on scenarios and assess them from different angles.
Shortly after this internship I graduated by writing my Bachelor's thesis, inspired by my stay in NYC, about the widely well known I ♥ NYC advertisement campaign.
In this MA Arts and Society program, I hope to be able to further dig into the world of art and learn how to assess art in different ways, study different outlets of art and apply ethnographic methodologies in doing so.

The result of this ongoing research project is published and presented in eCAADe 2013
Authors: Sina Mostafavi*, Mauricio Morales**, Nimish Biloria*
* TU Delft, Faculty of Architecture, AE+T, Hyperbody
**TU Delft, Faculty of Architecture, AE+T, Structural Design
This paper presents a performance driven computational design methodology through introducing a case on parametric structural design. The paper describes the process of design technology development and frames a design methodology through which engineering, -in this case structural- aspects of architectural design could become more understandable, traceable and implementable by designers for dynamic and valid performance measurements and estimations. The research further embeds and customizes the process of topology optimization for specific design problems, in this case applied to the design of truss structures, for testing how the discretized results of Finite Elements Analysis in topology optimization can become the inputs for designing optimal trussed beams or cantilevers alternatives. The procedures of design information exchange between generative, simulative and evaluative modules for approaching the abovementioned engineering and design deliverables are developed and discussed in this paper.
Keywords. performance driven design; design information; design technology; topology optimization; parametric design.
