Okay, maybe it doesn't hint at Zombie crows. But this latest State of Decay 2 image perfectly encapsulates middle America gone to ruin. I'm not saying zombie crows are a brilliant future, but I'm sure there's a fairly sizable population who would be thankful if that's the worst thing that happens to America over the next four years. State of Decay was, to be fair, a little raggedy around the edges, a little clunky. It was also brilliantly designed, twisting a rogue-lite survival adventure into a third person zombie-filled RPG that swallowed up whole weekends, and it became one of our … Read More »
If you've been here any length of time you might pick up on the fact that there's an argument to be made that INSIDE is the greatest video game ever created , anywhere, in all galaxies and universes. Playdead's masterpiece, building on the success of LIMBO and then overshadowing it in every way possible, is one of the most compelling, artistic, mesmerising experiences around. It was our indie game of 2016 and is still the only game ever to score 10 out of 10 in an Xbox One UK review. So, we were understandably all of a Squee! when Playdead … Read More »
As teases go, it's only a little one. A flirtations tickle, little more. But, as this is Battlefield 1, one of our favourite shooters of the moment, our interest is well and truly piqued by the brand-new fifteen-second trailer that joins a couple of pieces of concept art released last December. So, what exactly is being teased here? That would be the first major expansion to hit Battlefield 1 since launch. Entitled They Shall Not Pass, the expansion will feature all-new maps, new weapons, and the new playable French Army faction. They Shall Not Pass will truly expand the theater of all-out war. Be ready. … Read More »
Halo Wars 2 – the next entry in the sprawling Halo Universe saga – lands on 21st February, but from today eager Spartans will get the chance to test themselves in battle in the open Blitz Beta. Running from 20 – 30 January, the Blitz Beta showcases an entirely new way to play Halo Wars. Part Real Time Strategy title, part card strategy game, Blitz promises fast paced action where your deck of cards represents the troops and units at your disposal. Timing is key – the right card is no good if played at the wrong time, against the wrong … Read More »
That Watch Dogs 2 got made at all still raises an eyebrow. That it's such a great game – overcoming all its predecessor's many flaws – is even more surprising. But we can't help wonder if the incredible hype and subsequent disappointment of the first game has hurt sales of the sequel. After all, once bitten, twice shy. What better way, then, to tempt doubters back to the franchise than by offering a free trial? Ubisoft agrees, it seems. According to the official Ubisoft blog, a free three-hour trial of the full game will be available for download starting 24th January 2017. … Read More »
Changes to Cortana aren't the only changes on the way for Xbox One owners. Microsoft is just about to launch the Creators Update – a significant upgrade for Windows 10 devices, including Xbox One. That's probably worth a reminder: inside every Xbox One there beats a Windows 10 heart – it's the reason why we have such a diverse range of apps and why we believe the Xbox One ecosystem has such a bright future. And things will only get brighter with the Creators Update or, more accurately, a series of updates that will occur throughout 2017, the first of which … Read More »
The Behemoth – creator of Alien Hominid HD, Castle Crashers and Battleblock Theatre – is one of the most-respected indie developers around, with a unique style and a singular perspective. In Pit People, out on Xbox Game Preview this week, they've turned their talents towards turn-based strategy, with predictably anarchic results. Pip People offers single player, two-player and four-player (two vs two) strategic action, testing your turn-based skills throughout a loot-filled adventure of exploration and battle.

That's it, folks – Christmas is well and truly over. How can we tell? Is it the lack of mince pies, decorations and fat old men trying to break into our homes? Well, yes, actually. That, and the return of This Week at Bungie – the weekly roundup of all things Destiny. We may have packed our Sparrows away until the next season of SRL, but the Live Team is promising another update is on its way, and although there's no further information our minds are filled with visions of last Valentine's Crimson Days (has it been nearly a year?

Tom Clancy's Rainbow 6 Siege, the claustrophobic team shooter from Ubisoft, gets a new update today. Update 5.3 consists mainly of bug fixes. In fact, there's only one new feature – in custom lobbies, the host can pause the operator selection timer, useful when all you're doing is arguing who accidentally grenaded whom in the previous round. Wait, that's not how everyone plays? Pausing the timer is accomplished by pressing Up on the D-pad; a second press restarts it. The full patch notes are available on the R6 Forum, and bug fixes include players no longer keeping their shields equipped when … Read More »

"Bad Experience!! These guys followed the script as explained in the other reviews. I got hooked by the lowest price ($399 each for a pair of Canon S70s), which was advertised as "In-Stock", got contacted for "extras" including a big push for extended warranty, was advised that the order would be delivered as per my time requirements (Xmas), and then received a "back order" status by email along with an opportunity to cancel. I cancelled and ordered from Beach Camera ($4 more per camera) and that worked out perfectly (see my review)."
"I shopped the web doing price comparisons, went for the low price, and only THEN found resellerratings.com. The low price reseller followed the comments in the ratings to a "T". They tried to upsell me, failed, and then told me they were backordered. They gave me the opportunity to cancel and I did, immediately. Using resellerratings.com, I nervously went with Beach Camera. I ordered two Canon S70 cameras, and they were only $4 more expensive than the lowest price. Beach Camera came through with flying colors! Took my order, no hassles, delivered on time, and the product was completely as expected - new US version of Canon S70s."

Life at the Light
Living at the lighthouse was a unique experience for the women and children of light keepers' families.
For children, it was a unique and rewarding, if sometimes isolated, time in their lives. Keepers with school-age children vied for Point Atkinson posting because of the proximity of elementary and high schools. Even though they were closer to settled communities, other young people and school, their children found that living at a lighthouse was still an adventure. Young people were also important helpers in the many duties that make up work at the lighthouse.
Even though it was only men who where hired as light keepers, women have been integral to the upkeep of the light and lighthouses. Wives and daughters supported the keeper by keeping house for the keeper and other lighthouse workers. When the keeper could not afford an assistant, his wife often took on that position for no pay.

Being Young at Point Atkinson
Joyce Godard came to Point Atkinson in 1941 when she was sixteen years old. Her mother was hired as a housekeeper to assist the Dawes.
Joyce Godard remembers:
My very first impression was thinking it was a long ways away from the city, but I liked it. I just loved being by the water…. I had a little spot I used to climb up to around onto the cliff when I wanted to be alone.

For young people, growing up at the lighthouse was a unique experience.
Norm Dawe remembers:
It was good, altogether different. You made your own entertainment and of course you are [different] from the normal city kid or town kid. Your entertainment is quite different…fishing even from the time I was just seven years old I would be out in a rowboat. At that time, the Depression was on and rowboat fishing was a way of making a living for a lot of people. They come up from Nanaimo on … [Vancouver] Island from various places by rowboat … and sort of keep an eye on me when I'd be out there in my little skiff.

Larry Grafton remembers trips to Vancouver to supply the lighthouse:
Dad had an old gas boat and used to go to town and pick up supplies on Saturdays. He used to put the boat into Gore Avenue wharf and shop at Woodward's. Sometimes we used to go … with him, and in the wintertime, he would put a whole bunch of bricks on the back of the stove and get them good and warm and put them in the bottom of the boat so we were nice and warm.
Lighthouse Park.
Point Atkinson, West Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
Nature was always close by.
Larry Grafton remembers:
Bears, cougars, lynx, mink, martin. I remember one time going up the trail to Caulfeild and the hair started standing up on the back of my neck and about twenty feet up, there was a cougar sitting on a limb. I got out of there in a hurry. We used to bump into a lot of bears when we were going to school.

The lighthouse was also the setting for fond childhood memories.
Larry Grafton remembers:
After we had done our duties, we used to do a lot of swimming. We used to do a lot of cod fishing in the spring of the year and salmon and grills the rest of the summer.

West Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
Before the military built the road to Point Atkinson and public transportation expanded past Caulfeild, east of the Point, it was a long journey to and from school.
Norm Dawe remembers:
I went to Pauline Johnson [school] and my sister to Inglewood junior high… In good weather you would row the boat to Caulfeild and then walk up to the bus stop… If you had a good southeast wind, you couldn't get the boat off, let alone row it. So then you would have to walk and the trail at that time was nothing like it is now. It was a very rugged trail and from above Snug Cove, above Park Lane, there is a very high ridge, sort of a mountain ridge that goes through and the trail comes from Park Lane, half way up Park Lane and you had to go over that ridge, and then down the other side of it. It was quite a walk and you really didn't use that unless there was no other way.

"Research is formalized curiosity. It is poking and prying with a purpose."
- Zora Neale Hurston, Dust Tracks on a Road, 1942
Formalized in and evolving since 1989, the Student Inquiry and Research (SIR) department provides a framework for students to conduct original investigations on compelling questions of interest, collaborate with other students and professional researchers, and to share their investigation results through public presentations and publications. In its current form, the SIR department runs a number of distinct programs and initiatives – detailed below – for the IMSA community and the public.
Student Research Program
During the academic year SIR runs a one credit, graded course. Students work with Research Mentors both on and off campus. The projects are designed to last between one and two years and culminate in a peer-reviewed publication. SIR manages the solicitation of projects, recruitment of students to projects, logistics of sending students to research sites, and oversight of projects and student outcomes.
Students must have completed their first year at IMSA and be in good academic standing to be eligible for participation in the program. Inquiry Days (usually Wednesdays) are set aside for students to pursue their research. IMSA provides a variety of unique resources to help facilitate SIR investigations.
Summer Research Training Program
The SIR department manages the Summer Research Training Program in partnership with Professional Field Services (PFS). This program engages non-IMSA students in research at IMSA. The goal of the program is twofold: the students get a meaningful research experience through their work with IMSA faculty and this work moves the researcher's own project forward in a meaningful way.
More details and the application are available here (download pdf). For information about IMSA's other summer programs visit Summer@IMSA.
IMSAloquium (formerly called Presentation Day) is an annual, public event during which IMSA community showcases work done during the year. SIR students present on their research, even if it is still ongoing. Students doing independent studies and other innovative work are also invited to present. In addition, Research Mentors and IMSA community members facilitate participant-centered workshops related to research they are engaged in on campus. The event also features a keynote speech and brief comments from members of the IMSA staff.
Abstracts from past years are available on DigitalCommons.
This year's IMSAloquium will be held on Friday April 28th, 2017.
El Camino
El Camino is the first peer-reviewed, open-access journal created at IMSA to provide a venue for students to publish their work, whether they are from IMSA or not. Its broad set of publication options enables the inclusion of diverse perspectives without reducing rigor. We welcome submissions from our students, faculty, staff, and researchers around the world.
More information will be available soon from DigitalCommons@IMSA.
Additional Information
IMSA students should refer to the SIR Moodle site for current information, required forms, and the SIR student handbook.
For further information about SIR, please explore this website. If you have questions, please contact us.

Info about ShamRain
Recent Activities
ShamRain - Isolation 2011
The female vocals are soft and emotive and, along with the production, the vocals add a certain warmness to the otherwise quite melancholic music. This does not, however, create any form of tension or incongruity, as the soft and warm vocals seem volatile and vulnerable against the backdrop of the music itself.
Although sharing many characteristics with more melancholic and shoegazing 90s alternative rock, ShamRain also seem to draw on 80s acts like U2, The Pixies and The Cure, among others, while a track like 'Until Twilight' even sounds a bit inspired by the theme from Twin Peaks.
"Isolation" is a warm, yet melancholic, album which offers both minimalism and lushness at the same time, and it is very well put together. In particular, I think it will appeal to fans of acts like U2, The Cure, The Pixies (although the noise element is absent), Mew and the like. It is recommended to fans of gothic rock, melancholic rock, alternative rock and atmospheric rock.

Michael Jordan asking $14.855 million for his beautiful suburban Chicago mansion but it's not just because he's eager to unload it.
Jordan relisted the 7.39-acre property at $14.855 million because each of the numbers in that figure adds up to 23, his world-famous jersey number.
The mansion, which includes a pond, putting green and an indoor Jumpman-branded basketball court, was listed at $29 million in 2012 but did not receive any bites. Perhaps the allure of 23 will soon change that.
So to a rich jordan fan maybe he might buy it who knows.

Captain Brosia
Captain of Sea Breeze. Brosia was paid a small sum of money to ferry the party anywhere they wanted. But because Hakim is kind of a bastard, Brosia didn't get very many supplies, and so Teios was just about the only destination he could reach.
He taught the party various tasks around the ship, but parted ways with the party after docking.

pencil on paper
9 7/8 x 8 7/8 inches
Iranian-born artist Hadi Tabatabai creates works that possess a serene and quiet beauty, as is seen here in Weave #8. The rigidity of the white grid is softened by Tabatabai's technique of incising the line on the paper, then using a pencil to create the pale indigo square around it. In effect, the texture and softness of the paper create the lines, rather than the artist making the mark directly with an implement of solid pigment. Tabatabai's work has been shown in England, Italy, and widely in the United States. He has had solo exhibitions at the Anthony Grant Gallery, New York; Brian Gross Fine Art and Stephen Wirtz Gallery, both in San Francisco; and Inde/Jacobs, Marfa.

From the book "Jews-GOD-and History"
by Max I.Dimont
page 233 chapter 19 "Concerto for Violence"
The ritual-murder charge stemmed from the superstitious belief that
upon each Passover the Jews slew a Christian male child and used his blood to
spray over their Passover *matsoz*(the unleavened bread Jews eat during this
holyday).It was easy for such a notion to take hold in the medieval mind,because
the Old Testament was not translated into the languages of the people untill the
sixteens century.Untill then,people received all their bible stories secondhand,
as digested legends.It was in such secondhand fashion that they heard the story
of Exodus and learned how the Lord had smitten the male children of Egypt in order
to force Pharaoh to let the Israelites go.was it not logical that now the Jews
were similarly smiting Christian children?The fact that human sacrifice was
something the Jews had fought against since the days of Abraham,while the Druids
in England and Germany still practiced it in the first century a.d.,or the fact
that Jews never eat the blood of animals,which is prohibited in the Old
Testament,while Christians did,and still do,even to this day,never crossed the
Christian mind.
In 1144 a boy disappeared in the township of Norwich,england,and an apostate
Jew swore that the Jews had killed him in observance of a "Passover blood ritual."
Hysteria swept England,but before any overt acts against the Jews broke out,the
dead body of the boy was found,without any evidence of murder.For some reason,
unfathomable to the modern mind,the boy was sainted and enshrined in his home
town church.
A hundred years later,the Norwich incident was revived when a rumour cropped
that the Jews had kidnaped another boy,crucified him,and used his blood to colour
their Passover cakes.The king,fearing bloodshed,decleared all Jews under arrest,
and to calm the population,charged twenty Jews with the crime.Their guild was
established for everyone's satisfaction,except the Jew's,when under proper torture
all twenty signed prepared confections,and all were executed.Later,when the boy's
body was found,with all the blood still in it,and no sign of a crucifiction,it
could plainly be seen that a miracle had taken place.He too was sainted and
the Jews reached epidemic proportions throughout the continent.The popes became
alarmed at the spread of these false ritual-murder charges and in numerous papal
bulls forbade them,stating such accusations were a mockery of Christ.
Emperor Frederick II,whose enlightened rule illuminated his century,joined
popes and punished with death those who spread such rumours.By the fifteenth
century,ritual-murder accusations had died out,although they were briefly
revived in seventeenth-century Poland and late tsarist Russia.
Closely resembling these ritual-murder charges were the Host-desecration
which were given birth to in the twelfth century with the enuntiation of the
Doctrine of Transubstantiation

The expected 2016 Infiniti Q30 will fit in below the famous 2015 Infiniti Q40 as being the smallest and the most inexpensive car model in the ever expanding Infiniti Q Series. Better still, the car will be a utilitarian hatchback rather than a sedan as is the case with other models in the series. It is the aim of Infiniti, to satisfy young buyers through this model and expand their production and sales of luxury cars. It is the first compact car in the Infiniti Q Series. Though the caveat has only been reviewed in concept form, production may begin early 2015 and soon after, the QX30 which will be the Q30's crossover will be released.
According to Infiniti, this will not be your normal hatch. It is a product of a myriad of bodystyles that encompasses elements of a hatch, a crossover and a coupe. To this end, the car will be taller than a normal hatch and will be more elegant and prestigious. The car has been styled on 90 percent of the 2016 Infiniti Q30 concept as reflected on the final design.
2016 Infiniti Q30 Engine
This model will be build on the Mercedes Benz compact model platform. The Q30 will mirror a reskinned Mercedes A-Class with the crossover, QX30, mirroring GLA-Class. Both the models will sell in the US but the target is in Europe where competing cars like the aforementioned Mercedes Benz A-Class, Audi A3 and BMW 1-Series dominate.
The car will drive on a 2.0L four cylinder turbocharged engine just like the Mercedes A Class. Though diesel options will be available for fuel efficiency, only gasoline units may be received in the US. The car will be built in Infiniti Decherd Powertrain, a new plant located in Tennessee. With a 220 horsepower and 250 pound feet of torque, the car will be powerful to rival the Mercedes and BMW models that offer market competition. The fuel efficiency of the car will be about 25/34 mpg. The crossover model, the QX30, is also expected to have the same engine features.
2016 Infiniti Q30 Exterior and Interior
As earlier mentioned, the car will be a bit taller than a regular hatch. The car gets large and corporate grille which comes with a C-Pillar kink. The mirrors and the bumpers will also be larger than the previous models. It will have four doors with parking-assistance mechanisms. To stay competitive, the car will have leather interiors and enough leg space for the back seats. Current technological features will be fitted in the car's interior and will include infotainment system, Bluetooth, climate control and many more. An 8 inch touch screen will add to the elegance of the dashboard. The interior will be an update of the previous model to produce a more elegant and luxurious design.
2016 Infiniti Q30 Release Date and Price
Infiniti has not yet confirmed the release date and the price of the 2016 Infiniti Q30. However, the car may be released mid-2015 or early 2016. Based on earlier models and on the competition, the car will sell at about $35,000 for the base model. Both the Q30 and the crossover model, the 2016 Infiniti Q30, will sell at almost or same price.

the issue vary's, some will show a white screen, with some tv's it will boot into the tv perfectly but not into the operating system..
You could also try to change the power adapter, are you powering the device from tv output?
No I have tried it on various TV's with the same result - It is not working.I also tried different power adapters.The rsult is always the same - as soon as it's starting the Windows or the Android boot up it's crashing!
This sounds like power shortage or overheating, can you check the temperature, in the manual it says keep the device in a cool environment with good air flow.

Today was the first round of sentencing in the police corruption case with two more rounds scheduled for Thursday at the federal courthouse in Greenville.
The sentencings Thursday will be spaced out in a 9 a.m. session and then a 1 p.m. session.
Judge Malcolm Howard sentenced Lann Clanton to 16 ½ years in prison; Ikeisha Jacobs to 10 years; Jason Boone to 8 and Wardie Vincent Jr. to 6.
Clanton, the only person to be recruited by the FBI to guard shipments of fake heroin and cocaine as well as proceeds, told the court, "I'm asking for mercy to help me anyway you can. I made a mistake. I'm sorry it happened."
Judge Howard asked Clanton about allegations made by the government today that he became a law enforcement officer to aid convicted federal drug dealers Sterling Moody and Elton Boone.
"That part is not true," Clanton said. "I've known Elton Boone all my life. They didn't tell me to do those things."
Clanton said he was scared to walk away from the operation. "I throw myself on the mercy of the court. I understand I took a plea. Anything you can do to help me, you'll never worry about this again from me."
United States Attorney Lauren Bell told the court, "The government disagrees this was a mistake."
She said Clanton participated in 13 operations, including robbing a reputed drug courier. Bell said Clanton described the people who ended up being undercover agents as friendly. "You can't say it both ways, say they were too friendly and you were too scared."
Jacobs broke down as she talked to the court. "I am responsible for my activity. I have dishonored my entire family, the citizens of Halifax, Northampton and Pasquotank counties. I'm asking for a second chance. I've worked hard all my life. As a single mother I took to work diligently."
Jacobs told the court she made a clearly poor decision with her involvement in Rockfish. "I learned a valuable lesson … I've learned not to take anything for granted. When I was offered $2,000 I lost sight of myself, I forgot who I was."
United States Attorney Toby Lathan told the court the case "tears at the very fabric of law enforcement."
Jacobs was the second person to participate in the case. "She shows up in her uniform, eager to participate," Lathan said. "She asked the FBI to provide her cocaine."
While Jacobs denied it as she spoke to Judge Howard, Lathan told the court, "It was clear Ms. Jacobs was involved with another drug dealer."
Boone admitted responsibility for his actions in the case. His plan is to better himself, he told the court. "I accept my responsibility."
Boone's attorney, Joe Cheshire, gave a lengthy account of his involvement with his client in the case. "Clearly there was corruption," he said.
But Boone was a quiet defendant in the case, his attorney said, recruited by Vincent, his cousin. "At the time he didn't know it was drugs."
After his recruitment, Cheshire said, "You see very little of Jason Boone. He came to realize what was going on. There was no evidence Jason Boone ever had a gun until the end."
Cheshire spoke of the economic woes of Northeastern North Carolina. "It's a tough place to be from. He was not born into an impoverished family. He was born into a poor family."
The attorney said Boone worked to provide for his family, driving a Pepsi truck at one point before becoming a law enforcement officer. "He wasn't just a good law enforcement officer, he was a great law enforcement officer. He upheld the law, uplifted children and young people and worked in schools and parks."
Cheshire said his client will do well. "This man will never be in trouble again."
Vincent apologized for his actions as his father and mother looked on.
His father, former Northampton County Sheriff Wardie Vincent Sr., declined comment during a break.
"I'm sorry for my actions. I hurt my family and community," Vincent told the court. "My neglectful actions took away two years. I know there is no acceptable excuse. I ask for the mercy of the court."
Lathan said Vincent, the first person to take a plea in the case, admitted his culpability in the case.
His attorney, Thomas Manning, told the court, "It's important to know he worked as a deputy when his father was sheriff. Because his father was the head guy, he worked twice as hard and twice as long. He was better, faster, quicker than everyone else."

Blaise Pascal Quotes About WarQuotes about: War
All men seek happiness. This is without exception. Whatever different means they employ, they all tend to this end. The cause of some going to war, and of others avoiding it, is the same desire in both, attended with different views. The will never takes the least step but to this object. This is the motive of every action of every man, even of those who hang themselves.
On the occasions when I have pondered over men's various activities, the dangers and worries they are exposed to at court or at war, from which so many quarrels, passions, risky, often ill-conceived actions and so on are born, I have often said that man's unhappiness springs from one thing alone, his incapacity to stay quietly in one room. A man wealthy enough for life's needs would never leave home to go to sea or beseige some fortress if he knew how to stay at home and enjoy it.

|Sale Price:
When I tell you that this massage chair is more thorough than a massage therapist, I am completely serious.
In total, there are 13 motors and 101 active air massage cells that provide the Sogno Dreamwave with more massage coverage than any other massage chair in the world.
When sitting in the chair, you'll notice how it cradles the body, providing unsurpassed comfort and massage capability.
You'll also notice that the chair is heated to allow for maximum tension relief and comfort. When using this chair, I even noticed that it helped work knots out of my back that I never knew I had. It's exceptional from every angle.
- Massages the entire body from the feet to the hands.
- Accommodates users of all heights.
- Exceptional support offered through the manufacturer.
- Very quiet operation.
- Massive in size.
- Foot massage is weak.
This is a big chair, and it has to be for all of the features it includes. Massaging you into bliss, this chair does put you into a dream-like state, offering a professional massage whenever you feel the need.
I will admit that the foot massage was very soft and too weak to provide a true massage feel.
But, the rest of the chair exceeded my expectations. From my forearms to my fingers down to my hips and calves, this massage chair rolled out knots in my body. My muscles never felt better. And, my back is so limber, I feel like a teenager again.

Finally a new blog-post in 2015!
Sinan and I were on our way to carwash yesterday when we saw this amazing burning horizon right in front of us.
We pulled over to a field and got out the car to watch the sunset. It was getting colder and there was snow on the field. I was freezing, but nothing a warm coat couldn't solve :)
If you scroll down my Instagram feed you'll soon discover my love for sunrises and sunsets, as they remind me of how precious time is. There is only a short time frame where you can watch a sunset or sunrise at it's most beautiful moment and before your eyes can even fully grasp this view, it all suddenly vanishes into darkness.
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do, so throw off the bowlines, sail away from safe harbor, catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore, Dream, Discover. –Mark Twain

Stratoscape Lyrics
Artist: Front 242
Album: 06:21:03:11 Up Evil
There's no returning (2x)
There is no action, no way to divide
Silence is growing (2x)
Out of refraction and way out of sight
No clear recalling, no, no clear recalling
There's no reaction, no way back to light
Turn round and over, over and over
Turn round and over
My liquid time...
My liquid time...
Back to the place where you are...
A new void...
No more returning (2x)
Feeling no others but we may be blind
So long a waiting, so long a watching
There must be something moving there in the dark
No fear inside you, no, no fear inside you, no,
There's no reaction, no way back to light
There's no returning, see, there's no returning
There is no action, no way to divide
Something's approaching, something's approaching
Ready to strike with every beat of your heart

March 6, 2018 – The March 2018 issue of Landscape Architecture Magazine features a portfolio of articles on GGN, in recognition of receiving the 2017 Landscape Architecture Firm Award from the American Society of Landscape Architects.
October 23, 2017 – The American Society of Landscape Architects presented GGN with the Landscape Architecture Firm Award. This award is the highest honor the ASLA may bestow upon a landscape architecture firm in recognition of distinguished and influential work. The award was presented in Los Angeles.
June 11, 2018 -- Hazelwood Green, a former steel mill site that is the City of Pittsburgh's largest riverfront redevelopment project, today announced GGN has been selected to create the first public plaza at the 178-acre site. The plaza is envisioned as an adaptable and innovative gathering and event space for those who work, reside in, or visit Hazelwood Green and its neighborhood of Hazelwood. Elements of the new Hazelwood Green Plaza may include benches and seating, green space and native plantings, lighting, public art, and space for seasonal events.
"We received an outstanding mix of proposals, but were most impressed by GGN and their understanding of the role of this first public space in shaping Hazelwood Green as a place and for its important role within a larger system of well-loved civic centers in the City of Pittsburgh," says Hazelwood Green Project Director Rebecca Flora. "GGN's portfolio reflects a high quality of design and aesthetic, as well as sensitivity and experience in the integration of sustainability with design elements, all of which align with the vision for Hazelwood Green. These attributes, together with their demonstrated ability and commitment to working within the constraints of the project's budget and schedule, made GGN the clear choice among a team of highly qualified contenders."

While researching my soon-to-be-published story on Istanbul and the global building boom, I came across three nuggets of research that intersect in fascinating ways, underscoring where we are today and pointing toward an angry urban future.
The first bit has been in the news of late, and perhaps on the minds of Turkey watchers. Looking at historical data, Jeremy Wallace, a political science professor at Ohio State University, found that urban population growth tends to undermine authoritarian regimes. The greater the level of urban concentration in a given country, the shorter the shelf life of the autocrats.
It's a logical finding, highlighting how cities concentrate large masses of people, connect them via roads and transport, and help them progress up the socio-economic hierarchy, moving beyond survival to concerns about services and quality of life. Wallace also found that these autocratic governments seem to understand this, and thus lavish a great deal more attention on their big cities than their rural areas – which, ironically, tends to draw more people to those cities. He also unearthed particularly good news for Gezi protesters and other critics of Erdogan's government: regimes in which a single city, usually the capital, dominates the urban landscape fall nearly four years sooner.
The second nugget comes from urban data researchers Geoffrey West and Luis Bettencourt of the Santa Fe Institute, who found that the bigger the city, the more efficient it becomes. It's an idea that turns Malthus' theories about over-crowding and pestilence on their head, and its largely been borne out.
West and Bettencourt argue that a city is an organism, and, just as an elephant needs only 1,000 times the energy of a guinea pig despite being 10,000 times its size, a 5-million-person city needs less to accomplish factors more than its 200-hundred-thousand-person brethren. As a city grows, in essence, its inhabitants become better at solving its problems.
Finally, we have Brad Werner, a complex systems analyst at the University of California-San Diego. Of late he has begun to argue that, due to the apparent futility of global environmental management, mass resistance could well be humanity's best means of slowing the unchecked growth threatening to destabilize life on earth. Many scientists are of the opinion that ditching our current economic system – focused on global capitalism and urban development – may soon become necessary to our survival. But only Werner has gone the next step and argued that protest may be our only chance of saving the planet from ourselves.
Considered together, the three discoveries -- from a political scientist-slash-historian, a pair of data researchers and a systems analyst -- outline a 21st century truth. As cities have gotten bigger, their inhabitants have hit upon protest as the best, most efficient method of dealing with heavy-handed governments failing to see which way the wind blows.
What does it all mean for Istanbul, Beijing, Moscow and other big cities? Hard to say for sure; could be dark days ahead.

Established in 1923, SAMH is Scotland's leading mental health charity and currently operates over 60 services in communities across Scotland. With direct support to over 4,000 people annually and a supporter base of over 10,000 people, we aimed to represent the voice of most people affected by mental health issues.
We are extremely proud and excited to have hosted our Universities biggest event, and successfully raised money through our very own committee superhero skydive, mental health awareness week, and GUCFS's successful launch event to name a few.

21 Of The Beachiest Rides At The 2nd Annual Surf City Veterans Day Car Show
Despite a cool, gray Sunday morning in Huntington Beach this past weekend, the 2nd annual Surf City Veterans Day Car Show managed to heat things up with more than 500 extraordinary sets of wheels. From vintage pickups to modern muscle cars, the $100 million lineup ran the gamut of styles, brands, and eras. HB's own Johnny's Saloon and Placentia-based nonprofit Vision 2 Victory team up year after year in honor of Veterans Day. Rides aside, the event "is all about the veterans," says V2V Director JR Nichols.
This year, roughly 7,000 attendees strolled the rows of rides, swooning over the polished exteriors and cushy restored interiors. A military salute kicked off the free event, which also saw hula dancers and a roaring engine revving honoring POW/MIAs, also featuring the deafening screams of drag racers. The event's proceeds will help Iraq and Afghanistan combat veterans transition from military to civilian life, and it will continue to grow every year.
The presence of heroic veterans and American flags flapping in the wind brought an air of swelling pride and patriotism to the beach on November 9, once again reminding attendees that freedom is not free. Thank a vet today, folks. They've earned our respect many times over.
In case you missed last year's coverage, we couldn't contain ourselves and posted 100 of our favorite machines. Read on.

Dear Legislator:
On behalf of the 10,100 Arizona members of the National Taxpayers Union, I urge you to reduce the income tax rate levied on businesses incorporated in your state. Arizona has enjoyed large budget surpluses in recent years, but that good fortune will not last unless the money is reinvested in the taxpayers who produced it rather than squandered on bigger government.
On January 29, the House Ways and Means Committee passed a bill (HB 2336) to reduce Arizona's income tax rate on incorporated businesses from 6.968 percent to 6.62 percent (retroactive to the beginning of the 2007 tax year). Passage of HB 2336 would likely keep over $40 million in the hands of Arizona's taxpayers in fiscal year 2008 alone, and it would represent a 5 percent tax cut for businesses that provide jobs and allow citizens to prosper. If Arizona's tax climate (not to mention its economy) is to remain competitive with those of other states, the Legislature must act on fundamental changes to the tax system's structure.
While some argue for maintaining high corporate income taxes because it targets "deep pockets" that can "afford" to pay, in reality a large portion of corporate income tax costs are passed on to consumers and workers in the form of higher-priced goods and lower salaries. Of course, tax costs are also borne by business equity owners, but as an economist with the Tax Foundation points out, individuals far outside the fabled champagne-and-caviar crowd are often affected by this burden as well:
Lower and middle income individuals today own a large percentage of corporate America through pension funds, insurance plans, and other pools of savings. This means that even if the entire burden of the corporate income tax falls on capital, lower and middle income Americans pay a large share of the tax through reduced pensions and other returns to saving. Consequently, taxing corporations imposes a significant tax burden on all Americans.
As a member of the 48th Session of the Arizona Legislature, you_ve been presented with a variety of options to lower the state's tax burden, including bills to reduce the personal income tax rates and to eliminate the county equalization property tax rate. We encourage you to take a multi-pronged approach to lowering taxes in Arizona, and our members look forward to the advancement of corporate income tax cuts as one of many routes to greater economic freedom.
Kristina Rasmussen
Senior Government Affairs Manager

Om Sunny Sunny
Greetings, gang, from sunny Florida. I would send you all amazing post cards still using 80s graphics of glistening body builders and lovely ladies in high brazilian-cut bikinis, but you're just going to have to settle for regular old Dharma Chameleon post fun!
Today, I slept in with glorious plans to have a leisurely cup of tea and visit a yoga studio in town, OM Vibe. I mean, I did get to do all of these things, but perhaps not as leisurely as I would have hoped. DAMN YOU, Google maps! How dare you cause me to arrive to class late! Yes, I'm blaming you, but don't worry, I still love you.
Om Vibe, like much of everything in this town, is located in a shopping center/outdoor shopping mall. But, as those things go, Om Vibe is pretty peacefully located on the upper floor. I was drawn in by the offer of a standard vinyasa flow class, OM Flow, but upon researching, I see that OM Vibe offers so much more than your regular smattering of basics and vinyasa. Perhaps that's why in this very non-yoga heavy seeming town it had a packed class this morning.
Aside from your standard things, Om Vibe offers a diverse repertoire including Kundaflow. I have no idea what this is, but I have to say it's captured my attention. Outside of yoga specifically, they also offer Tai Chi, Qi Gong as well as massage, and all sorts of great healing. I'm guessing it was either the vibrational healings or the potlucks that were the main draw for the Florida Everblades hockey team (according the website, they call Om Vibe their home studio).
After sloppily parking cock-eyed in the lot below and taking the steps two at a time, I apologized profusely, paid and was admitted to class. I snapped up my complementary mat (can I say, I LOVE when you don't have to pay for those) and got down to the business. To describe it as business, however, today seems unfair to our extremely upbeat and easy going teacher– Missy Balsam. Right off the bat she seemed determined to get the class to let their hair down. She led us through the standard flow, but definitely flavored it with a bit of her own seasoning. She seemed to have mastered that cool and relaxed feeling but to have successfully integrated excitement and emotion. I have to say, for my first (non-Bikram) yoga experience in Naples it was quite nice. There was definitely some vocalization, but surely not enough to make me wig out like the exclusive moaning classes offered at Yoga to the People.
I have to say, I do SO enjoy being a yoga tourist. Wherever you go people are so friendly to you. It's not like being a tourist in New York, were someone like me steam rolls you on 42nd with little more than a curse under the breath and a side-long glance. It's more like, "oh, hey! You like yoga, I like yoga…we're doing yoga! yay!" When you ask questions, people answer them…and often with great relish. "What style of yoga did Missy train with?" Baron Baptiste. "Is this the studio I noticed with Kundalini classes?" Yes, the lady at the front desk and I shared laminations about the pain often associated with kriyas. "Is that Beck that is now making yoga CDs?" Um, no. Beck is a scientologist silly. That was Giresh's Shiva Machine.
There are, yet, still questions that remain unanswered. I think that Om Vibe was a solid start, but I'm hot on the trail of other resources in sunny Flo-rida for more fun pit stops and answers on this yoga journey.

March 8, 2010 2:02 am
Thank you for your nice review of my studio. But just to clarify, I am the yoga coach for the Florida Everblades and I coach them during the ice hockey season. It is for this reason that OmVibe is their "home studio," not vibrational healings or potlucks. I put in some serious time and effort to help the team with flexibility, endurance and stress-reduction.
Thank you.
Kat Farrell, Owner, OmVibe Yoga Studio, Naples, FL
