The Characters:
Kai - The last of the Brunnen-G, a race of troubadour warriors who were exterminated by the Shadow over two millennia ago. He was also killed, but had his soul drained and his fluids replaced with proto-blood. It's a long story.
Zev - Started out as a big girl, but after her "love slave makeover" goes awry she is part human, part cluster lizard, and all vixen. She would never make it as a dentist, except on a planet full of young Jack Nicholsons.
Stanley Tweedle - Nincompoop! After betraying the rebellion and delivering information to the evil empire that helped them create a super weapon he still only manages to be a peon security guard. He's screwing that up too.
790 - Droid head (separated from his body through an unfortunate accident) that ends up receiving Zev's love slave brainwashing. That means he is completely in love with the girl and who can blame him?
Thodin - Barry Bostwick! Denounced as a pirate and terrorist by the Shadow's clerics. He plans to steal the Lexx and use it against the evildoers. Unfortunately Kai adds another orifice to Thodin, right in the center of his chest.
Giggerota - Freaky cannibal woman! Plummets to her death (not really, but it looks that way).
His Divine Shadow - Shrouded figure whose evil lifeforce has transcended the ages and now guides civilization down a brutal path. Banished, for now, by Kai's efforts.
The Divine Predecessors - Brains in tupperware! They were removed from previous hosts of the Divine Shadow and give the current titleholder their wise counsel.
The Plot:
Many of my fellow capitalist pigs (Americans) are familiar with the LEXX series by its alternate title "Tales from a Parallel Universe." This, the first of four films (call them episodes if you like), immediately caught my eye during a late night of channel surfing. Bruce should have checked channel number fifty-eight, because these suckers will grab your attention pronto. The acting is over the top and complimented by effects comparable to a good quality video game. Plot and atmosphere are where things get ten shades of weird. Helicopters that look like big bugs! Brains being extracted and protected against freezer burn! A platinum-blonde beauty with a serious attitude! All part of the mix.
The first ten minutes of this story are absolutely fantastic. A small force of Brunnen-G pilot their fighters toward His Shadow's warship. Watch Kai, because he turns his head and looks at his companions with uncertainty, even while a rousing war chant issues from his throat to join their voices. Seeing a young warrior full of pride in his cause (heck, I'm not Brunnen-G and that chorus still gets my fighting spirit up), but just a little afraid was a perfect moment. He has good reason too; their ships are woefully outgunned compared to the enormous vessel they are facing.
His Shadow is soon firing massive webs of energy at the Brunnen-G homeworld, each obliterating equally massive areas upon impact. The warriors desperately use their rockets, but to no avail; with an audible scream the planet is rendered a lifeless husk. Kai is enraged and instructs the remaining ships to crash into the control pod and even succeeds himself. Unfortunately his ship's design works against the kamikaze attack. The Brunnen-G are piloting giant insects and the problem is that somehow these creatures fly through space without any sort of volatiles on board! While the collision does briefly compromise the hull integrity, it does not cause a really big boom.
Lots of bug guts litter the bridge in the aftermath, but Kai was thrown free and is promptly subjected to an impromptu sacrifice by His Divine Shadow. Good thinking by the evil overlord on that point; a prophecy foretold that one of the Brunnen-G would destroy the Shadow. Inexplicably he does not allow the body to be incinerated, but instructs his guards to store it for use as a programmed assassin. Why in the world would he do something like that? Prophecies are pretty much a death sentence for tyrants; don't tempt fate by keeping a member of the race around. Toss that body into a nuclear furnace and avoid visiting museums with Brunnen-G exhibit's (darn thing is likely to fall over and squash you - destiny always finds a way).
Note to self: Upon becoming the Emperor, be proactive and make certain to kill everyone with "Prophet" under "Job Title" in the imperial database of unwilling subjects.
Jump forward a couple of years (like two thousand and eight) to a time when His Divine Shadow's influence falls over twenty thousand worlds. Things are bad and human rights are at an all time low. Stanley Tweedle is doing poorly in his assigned profession as a security guard; so bad that he is disciplined and told to report for punishment. Initially the little worm balks at the sentence, mainly on account that they are going to remove three of his organs. Imagine losing a kidney, an eyeball, and a testicle due to a bad performance evaluation! Kinda sounds like Microsoft, doesn't it?
Stanley is actually one of the lucky ones. A transport full of prisoners arrives at the capitol city and they are bound for the penal system. Considering how serious a punishment is levied against workers for not living up to the boss' expectations, those accused of crimes are hating life. Most are subjected to organ removals (as in all of them, even the vital ones), with the remaining parts being sealed in ziplock bags and shipped to the local Spam factory. "You're eating people!" Hehehehe! Seriously folks, don't try pulling a Charlton Heston and screaming at someone who puts Spam in their grocery cart. You'll be asked to leave the store and instructed to never return. Besides, the useless body parts are being fed to the Lexx, I was just kidding.
Ah yes, the Lexx. One of the things that His Divine Shadow learned from the Brunnen-G was their technology for breeding enormous space faring insects and the Lexx is his crowning achievement. First time observers often have some impure thoughts about what the ship resembles (sickos). Perish the thought; the greatest warship ever made (grown, hatched, pupated?) is based on a humble dragonfly. It is able to cross the vastness between stars with little effort and has a devastating main weapon. With it the Shadow intends to purify the universe; which is to say he will destroy any heretic planets not under his rule.
Two thousand years is a long time for a human, or close facsimile, to live and the Shadow has a unique way of renewing his youthful vigor. The body is no more than a vessel for a nexus of dark energy passed from host to host. When the old body is failing a new unfortunate bastard is chosen for cleansing and possession. Cleansing? Being zapped in the temples with high voltage, that always purifies the spirit. Surgeons (I hope anyone with that many sharp instruments is a doctor) then remove the brain from the old body and place it into a special container; thus may the older personages provide the new Shadow with advice. Catholics should say thanks that the Pope does not possess a new body every fifty years.
Remember the prisoners? Good, because there are two with special importance. One is Zev, who is sentenced to become a love slave for embarrassing her husband. The second is Thodin, a man who successfully fought a guerrilla war against the empire's forces and destroyed over two hundred spacecraft loyal to the monarch! Little love is lost between the defamed "pirate" and his body-swapping adversary. Luckily the Church does not burn people anymore; it feeds them to baby sandworms instead. Thodin has a trick or two up his nose; he hopes to avoid a public execution and deploys a cool little "bug bomb!" It finds the network conduit that controls the arena and other functions, then detonates. Chaos results as the cluster lizards are set free on the spectators, instead of the innovative freedom fighter. Stanley is now eluding arrest and termination after missing his appointment at the detention center. Events will bring him, the remixed version of Zev, 790, and Thodin to the Lexx at the same time.
Kai is awakened and sent to stop the good guys from stealing the Lexx. Between the undead assassin and rampaging cluster lizards it comes to pass that only Zev and Stanley arrive at the ship's bridge. Of course 790 is there too, whispering sweet nothings that often contain some shockingly lewd ideas to his sweetheart, but I'm getting sidetracked. The nincompoop lucked out and had the energy key, required to command the Lexx, passed to him. That is the only reason Zev does not commence to banging Stanley's head against various solid objects; he managed to become indispensable. Meanwhile, in a chamber full of the Divine Predecessors, Kai has his memory and soul restored (destiny is knock, knock, knocking on the tyrant's door) after coming into contact with the brain of the Shadow that killed him. Darn thing even recorded the Brunnen-G war chant in surround sound!
A number of spacecraft, including the massive flagship, pursue the fugitives. Lexx is unable to fire at the attackers due to a few "if then" programming statements, so the protagonists opt to flee through the fractal core; it's sort of a weak spot in the wall between dimensions. His Divine Shadow is fed up with useless underlings and sneaks aboard to kill the revolutionaries himself. The last of the Brunnen-G is on board! NO YOU FOOL! The results are predictable and jumping realities also rearranges the pesky "if then" statements, allowing the huge dragonfly ship to wallop its tormentors. The story of the Lexx and its crew shall continue.
Things I Learned From This Movie:
Snowflakes of sufficient size can be used as weapons (anything a thousand miles across is potentially lethal).
Do not get saucy with someone who can electrocute you.
Lawyers may be evil, but they are better than holograms.
You will become invisible for a short period after losing an eye.
Being a brain in tupperware has its disadvantages, like giant brain munching worms.
Brains can be used like a "stress ball," but only once.
Fractals play hell with computer programs.
Never take your eyes off the guy with a spring-loaded head chopper.
Stuff To Watch For:
3 mins - Nothing between you and death other than a thin membrane of clear material? I hope you don't run into anything.
6 mins - A bad day to get assigned freezer number eleven...
12 mins - Those look like 1/2" nuts. I'm a lot more accurate with 9/16" myself.
28 mins - RANDOM ACT OF VIOLENCE AGAINST A HOUSEKEEPING DROID!
40 mins - Not exactly the woman I would make a topographic scan of.
45 mins - Yeah, that's about how love works: you worship her, but she punts your head across the room.
52 mins - I think that I'd shoot him instead.
68 mins - Ouch! In hindsight you could have used some anesthetic, at the very least a few shots of hard liquor.
78 mins -
Fiend Without a Face

Starving actors speak out
Shadow: "And how will we know which planets shelter enemies of order, which planets are to be chosen for destruction?"
Divine Predecessors: "That will be your task."
Shadow: "Then my task is complete. I choose to destroy them all."
Bug Bomb: "Bug bomb lost head!"
Stanley: "But Lexx, that was one of His Shadow's ships!"
Lexx: "Who is 'His Shadow?'"
790: "I perceive that much of Lexx's memory was erased when we passed through the fractal core."
Zev: "What kind of robot are you?"
790: "I am a robot that wants to live in your underpants."

Two guards were closing in on Zev and Stanley until they opened door number one. Normally this would mean chitinous segmented death, but she can speak "Cluster Lizard." Is screaming a language? (Insert Barbra Streisand joke here.)

Really, the best sci-fi series I've ever seen. First and third season are terrific, the second season is not as good as the first and third one, but it's great anyway. The fourth season is the worst. But still better than almost anything I have seen on TV.

Jesus, Buddha, and Mary, but this is the strangest movie--and series--ever to hit the TV waves in the history of the multiverse. I first came across the series while channel-surfing one night and could NOT stop watching it! It was ridiculous, bizarre, and yet addictive all at the same time. Every planet they visited was full of inbred weirdos with outrageous sexual fetishes and an inclination towards extreme violence. Predictably, every planet wound up getting blown to bits or eaten by Lexx. The four movies were no less mind-numbingly strange. Clearly, the film/series creators were indulging a few fetishes of their own, namely in the illegal hallucinogen department, in order to come up with something this bizarre.

I loved the first two Movies, they were well constructed and the delivery was excellent. My personal favorite part was when the Lizard things instead of attacking their intened target but instead the children in the area. I had no idea that something like that would ever be in a TV movie and certainly the made it stand out from every SciFi series both before and since.
I love programmes that aren't afraid to do things no one else would dare to try.

I have the entire Lexx cd's series, and as I have commented to other people, it is the best serie I've ever seen in my entire life. The plot, the strange little things, the bizarre situations and the imagination are just perfect. If you ever have the money to afford this serie, you should get it. You won't regret it one bit. The cds also tell you how it was made, and give you and explanation of the serie's theme.

HAHAHAHAHAHA! A great show, and great movies. My sister and I watched this all the time, and but for the season that started on the planets Fire and Water (was that season 4?) I liked the complete weirdness of these characters and the situations they got themselves into. What was the plant-girl's name? Was it Lyka, or something like that?
And I have to say I think I prefer the second Zev over the first. Not sure if that's because I saw the series before the movies, but Xenia Seaborg just seems better than Eva Habermann somehow. And more attractive.

Love this show, I watch my copies when I a pick-me-up. Completely weird and completely fun.
Note to self: Upon becoming the Emperor, be proactive and make certain that any species of which '
the last one
' is destined to kill me receives the best pre-natal care available until they are breeding like rabbits across the breadth of the empire. The logic being, there can be no last one left to assassinate me if there are billions of them.

Screenflex Room Dividers – Sabetha First Lutheran Church
The Sabetha First Lutheran Church needed to create additional Sunday School Classrooms. They only needed the rooms on the weekends but needed the large open room for other activities throughout the week. By arranging room dividers in place, the church was able to create the needed space while maintaining the large room.
They are "very very easy to move and arrange in different ways," states staff member Victoria. "It was a very easy process ordering, receiving, and setting up." Screenflex Room Dividers come in 36 sizes and 38 colors. Our design staff is available to assist you in purchasing the correct length and height room divider for your needs.

Designs By 'Leftovers' Tell Some Creepy Stories
Swedish sisters Linda and Jona Netsman have a great talent for repurposing old furniture and odds and ends and totally recreating new purposeful items. Their design studio, Leftovers, produces one of a kind furniture and lighting objects that are very emotionally evocative, something that one doesn't find in most furniture or lighting designs. I chose a few of the somewhat creepy ones to share with you.
The Hotel
These designs are my favorite, I think. There are three of them that tell the story of an old hotel and how it felt to be there, maybe in the early 20th century.
2. Ambivalent
Pretty frog, but does it really want to be kissed?
3. Spoken Leftovers
Words are more difficult to capture than belongings, so the Spoken Leftovers are creatively painted on this dresser - or anything else that brings the feeling you want to give those words.
The designs by Leftovers are all worth seeing; some of them are quite fun... and some are wistful. They do make you think about how you would have your own or someone else's life tell a story through a dresser or a sofa.

The Advantages of Silk Shirts
Silk shirts are one of the most versatile items a woman can wear. Easily dressed up, they are equally at home with a pair of jeans for a casual night out, or with smart trousers for everyday wear to work. However versatility is not the only benefit of choosing to buy silk shirts; they're incredibly robust and comfortable too.
Of all the materials we choose to wear, silk is probably the most durable. It's very strong, and will hold its shape for many, many years (provided it is cared for properly). The fact that silk is a relatively expensive … Read more at Free T ShirtsRead the rest of this entry »

In August, Dawn and I celebrated our 2-yr wedding anniversary by taking a trip to Vancouver and Victoria in British Columbia, Canada. We took advantage of our northern California perch to make this an epic road trip for Anniversary Adventure 2015: Vancouver Island.
This filled-to-the-brim post covers our 7-day experience in Vancouver and Victoria. Being that it was an anniversary trip, our first aim was to celebrate this blissful love we enjoy as married, unified, and entranced partners in this life-dance. Our second aim? There is no second -- there are only co-aims! Besides, we both love traveling to new places together, taking in new experiences, and sharing with others in the hopes that it will inspire love and adventure. That is, after all, the epitome of comuse. So, that's our aim with this post: may it inspire you to behold loved ones in a deeper, more intimate way; and whether you've visited Vancouver or Victoria before, or you've yet to go, may this provoke you to go, return, and behold Beautiful British Columbia in an entirely new way.
With such an action-packed trip, we identified 20 activities during our 7-day stay that captivated our hearts. I've listed them in the order in which we experienced them, so follow along in our digital footsteps!
In Vancouver
1. The Honda Celebration of Light
After arriving at our friends' home in Surrey (just across the border), we heeded James and Amanda's wisdom and made our way to English Bay Beach in downtown Vancouver for optimal viewing of the fireworks. It was the 25th anniversary of this celebration, so we were thrilled to be among thehundreds of thousands of people present for the event.
Here's a short video:
2. White Rock Farmer's Market
Our draw for this event was visiting James and Amanda's booth for their business,HALE Organic Juice. We tried their juice, and it's delicious! If you live in the area, they deliver, so this pure, health-inspiring juice can come right to your doorstep.
3. The Pacific National Exhibition
We visited this renowned site specifically because Dawn discovered they were showcasing a pre-fabricated modular home. And since we're really intrigued by the efficiency, architecture, and ingenuity of pre-fab houses, we decided to go and take a free tour of this 3,800 square foot, $2.1 million-dollar modular prize home. Read here for more information.
Here's Dawn with some pre-fab thoughts:
4. Ferry to Victoria
We sailed with BCFerries out of the Tsawwassen port in Vancouver. Being that it was a civic holiday, we aimed to get there one hour early. We still ended up waiting for at least 2 hours, so next time, if we travel during a similarly busy time, we'll opt to pay the $15 extra to reserve our tickets online. We brought our car along with us, which turned out to be quite invaluable since the best arrival port for Victoria is at Schwartz Bay, a 35-minute drive away. In addition, we lodged in Langford, which is a 25-minute drive from Victoria.
From all of the photos and videos we took while abroad the ferry, my favorite is this video we made for Jonah, our two year old godson:
Yes, we're saying "Happy Erthday!" Jonah often says that when it's someone's birthday, or he'll shout it in place of "hello." And why do we have the paper apple with us? Jonah gave it to us recently after he made it (with assistance) in craft time, so we made it a point to feature it in every video we made for him on this trip.
In Victoria
5. The Westin Bear Mountain Golf Resort & Spa
We found this resort stunning and expansive. Though neither of us golf, and though we didn't take advantage of the spa, the accommodations served us well. It was a great landing pad for our stay in Victoria, and we stayed here the 2 nights we spent on Vancouver Island. Dawn's a maestro when it comes to our hotel points, and she utilized our Starwood points to cover our lodging costs at the Westin. (Want an easy way to get free hotel nights? Get this card.)
The serenity of the Bear Mountain community, the excellence of the hotel staff; and the clean, refined, and spacious rooms all add up to make a sterling lodging experience. We wrote this poem to express our sentiments:
6. Green Cuisine
We found this delicious dig on two different guides for vegan dining in Victoria: The Victoria Vegan and Sarah's Vegan Guide to Downtown Victoria.
(Note: We both made the decision to switch to a plant-based diet in July, so this trip was our first all-vegan excursion. Though it's been an enjoyable transition for us, the ample vegan options in Vancouver and Victoria made this inaugural co-experience especially brilliant.)
Green Cuisine is an all-vegan buffet-style priced-by-weight restaurant that offers a dazzling array of delectable options: cashew aioli, corn bread, fermented vegetables, and several mouth-watering desserts. Since the restaurant was nearing closing time, we picked what we liked and brought our dinner back to the Westin. There were way too many phenomenal dishes for one visit, so we made a point to return before we left the island.
7. Mo:Le
Since we heard this restaurant had favorable vegan and raw options, we dined here for on our second day in Victoria. Though we desired to find a great brunch, we decided this tasty curry dish was the best option for us, and it was very satisfying.
8. Pure Lovin' Chocolate
While the good people at Mo:Le prepared our lunch, we took advantage of this time to head to this chocolate shop we read about in the aforementioned guides. It's local, organic, vegan, and fair-trade chocolate; and it's delectable! We had some pre-lunch dessert, and we bought some to bring home with us.
9. Whale Watching Tour with Orca Spirit Adventures
I knew one of Dawn's desires for this trip was to go whale watching. So, I set up a tour with a whale watching company for August 3rd, the day of our anniversary. But, when we arrived to our scheduled boarding time, we weren't able to go. Apparently, due to gale-force winds, they canceled their afternoon tours. I respect their wisdom, but we really had our hopes set on the experience. Thankfully, a brilliant solution was only a phone call away. I spoke with Anastasia at Orca Spirit Adventures, and she sounded excited to have us aboard. With only 2 spots left on the 12-person tour, we breathed sighs of relief and gratitude and high-talied it over to their launching location for their last tour of the day.
After we donned our water-resistant suits (which were very much like firefighter suits), we headed out to the Zodiac (an open-air vessel) and received preliminary instruction from Skipper Sarah. In addition to being a certified marine naturalist, Sarah's also part of the Canadian Coast Guard. Her knowledge of marine life impressed me, but even more than that, I was moved by her deep connection to the orcas. It was evident this wasn't simply a job -- it was a channel through which she could express both a love and expertise of marine life.
With Skipper Sarah's instruction, we knew to expect choppy waters, and as we headed out on the 3-hr tour, the water-spray didn't disappoint! The hoods on the suits helped tremendously. At one point, I wished I had my swim goggles with me, but our sunglasses did quite well in protecting our eyes from the sun and spray.
After an exhilarating 45-minute ride in pursuit of orcas, we found ourselves in Washington waters just near the San Juan Islands. Skipper Sarah's knowledge supplemented by tips she received by radio from other tours brought us right into a sweet spot of orcas. In all, we saw at least 12! Seeing their sleek, dark grey fins above the water brought cheers from some and hushed silence from others. I found myself saying "wow!" over and over. For any experienced whale watchers reading this, you've likely learned the following terms, but for those who haven't, I'll mention two: spyhopping and breaching.
As Skipper Sarah informed us, spyhopping is when a whale rises partially above the water in vertical fashion to spy on surface activity. These instances brought even louder sounds of approval from the group. For me, the most awe-inspiring, heart-catching moments accompanied the instances of breaching. With a breach, the orca surges upward and clears the surface with the majority of its body. We were fortunate enough to witness 5-6 of these! Seeing their white underbellies as they defied gravity seemed to slow down time while paradoxically slowing and speeding up my heart rate at the same time.
We managed to capture 2 breaches (by the same orca) in this video:
Wasn't that breathtakingly beautiful? I could only smile after seeing such a joyful expression of exuberance. It was a privilege to witness such spectacular creatures communicate with their environment so athletically and artistically. Still, in those moments of admiration, I found my heart being pulled towards thinking of the welfare of the whales. Seeing them up close in their natural habitat provoked me to consider their wellbeing, and it inspired within me an even deeper desire to steward our oceans and marine life.
Dawn and I strongly believe in stewarding the planet with our actions, so partnering with this eco-tourism company feels like an alignment of values and passion. The entire tour, Skipper Sarah remained sensitive to the orcas' position relative to the Zodiac, and though the goal of the tour clearly has whale sightings at its core, it was evident that the greater goal involves awareness and kindness towards marine life.
I highly recommend this tour. It will undoubtedly amaze you, and I also believe it will change the way you view your relationship with marine life. Not only will you very likely behold the beautiful orcas; you will also get to see porpoises, seals, sea lions, cormorants, bald eagles, and more.
10. Be Love
After the awakening whale-watching experience, we found the perfect restaurant to settle into on this last evening in Victoria. From the vegan guides, we knew we'd find ample options to suit our palates' preferences. Once we walked up to the restaurant, read the words on their sign, and examined the classy exterior, we knew we had found our dinner-home for the night. The plant-based cuisine was, as the signage says; fresh, pure, and nourishing to the soul. Here are a few of the culinary highlights. Remember, everything at this restaurant is free of wheat, gluten, dairy, and processed sugar:
11. Goldstream Provincial Park
Awakening early and exploring new places before the sunrise is something I love doing, and recently, I have taken up running, so I endeavored to find somewhere nearby that I could get to on our last morning in Victoria. I opened my eyes sometime around 5 a.m. and searched the web. To my delight, I discovered a place with trees, waterfalls, wildlife, and a mountain -- only a 15-minute drive west on Trans-Canada Highway 1N!
Mt. Finlayson, one of the highest points in Victoria, really piqued my interest. I set out with the plan to walk to the trail entrance for summiting it, and then I would try to run as much as I could on the trail. This was a lofty goal considering the nature of the ascent. It turned out to be steeper than I presumed it would be, and in addition to that, I ran into navigation issues. First, it took me way too long to find the trail entrance in the pre-dawn light. Second, once I found the trail, I eagerly ran along until I inadvertently took the longer route instead of the steeper, shorter route -- this left me with insufficient time to make the ascent. Really, the hike was too long for the time I had available that morning. Still, I am thankful to have made it to the park and made at least a portion of the hike. Surrounded by trees, immersed in the stillness of nature, and witnessing the sunrise -- I felt closer to the heartbeat of the island.
Visiting the park is definitely worth it, especially if you're a fan of ancient trees, beautiful forestry, and waterfalls. There's a 47.5-meter fall called Niagara. Next time, I'll make sure to see that. And after reading this trail runner'saccount of summiting Mt. Finlayson, I'm inspired to dig deep and finish what I started.
12. Afternoon Tea At The Fairmont Empress
I learned about this attraction from the past trip Dawn made to Victoria with her family around 16 years ago. As a family, they participated in one of Victoria's renowned traditions: the taking of the afternoon tea. We didn't actually take any tea, but we did walk through the Empress and peered into the tea room. I must say I was impressed, yet the greatest joy was hearing Dawn reminisce about her past experience there.
Back to Vancouver
13. Dark Table
After taking the ferry back to Vancouver, we aimed ourselves for our evening reservations at Dark Table, a unique restaurant Dawn discovered well before our trip. In fact, she procured a deal for us on Groupon. She's crafty like that.
14. Museum of Anthropology
The next morning, we mapped out an action-packed day. We considered visiting some other museums in Vancouver, but Dawn and I both have an appreciation for arts, cultures, and learning about people groups, so we chose the MOA. An added bonus to this museum visit is the locale: it's on the campus of the University of British Columbia. We love academic institutions known for their excellence, and with Dawn's 3 master's degrees and my doctorate, we've both spent many years immersed in such worlds. During our visit to the MOA, I was invigorated beyond any other academic experience; and that was because the exhibits were world-class productions -- multidimensional in construction and appeal. One example of this was this exhibit (pardon the glare):
It reveals the culture and lifestyle of the Pacific Northwest First Nations. They're called the Musqueam people, the ancestral people of the region currently known as Vancouver -- from over 9,000 years ago! In many different artistic forms, the exhibit composes an honest and provoking portrait of the Musqueam people's challenges and plight. I was moved by this, and while I came to Vancouver with very little information about its history, I left with a profound respect and compassion for the Pacific Northwest First Nations. And Dawn left these guys with a lesson in smiling. Perhaps they've learned by now. We look forward to any evidence via photos on your next visit.
15. Stanley Park Seawall
After the museum visit, we drove to Stanley Park to walk along the 8.8-kilometer portion of the Seawall that encircles the park. What a magnificent shoreline! Among other notable Stanley Park attractions and monuments, we saw the Girl in a Wetsuit and these First Nations totem poles:
16. Heirloom
For a perfect early dinner, we had this vegetarian restaurant picked out. It drew us in with its fresh, fair-trade options and its location along our pre-planned day's activity route. It's smart and crisp storefront made way for a hip, vibrant interior. The vegan options were lip-smackingly good.
But what really hit the spot? These refreshing, restorative drinks. Dawn ordered the Kale Refresher (by Heirloom Juice Co.): kale, green apple, pineapple, mint, and sparkling water. I couldn't pass up the Watermelon Chiller: fresh watermelon, lime, and mint.
17. Vancouver TheatreSports League
And for the grand destination of the night, we made our way to The Improv Centre on Granville Island for the evening performance of the Vancouver TheatreSports League (VTSL). What is the VTSL? It's an award-winning professional theatre company specializing in improv comedy that began in 1980, and one of its main goals is to challenge and inspire the community. It boasts an impressive alumni list, including two comedians I grew up watching on Whose Line is it Anyway - Ryan Stiles and Colin Mochrie.
With great anticipation, we found our seats and prepared for the show. The atmosphere was electric, and as the emcee (also the referee of the competition) introduced the players, the applause paralleled that of a sporting event. As the players took the stage and performed various skits, they revealed their comedic agility and quick-witted, imaginative acting skills. It really was a fusion of sport and theater. The two teams of performers battled for the win, and in the end, the audience decided the winner. Really, all of the players performed valiantly, so both teams won in our books. TheatreSports is a winning attraction, so make your way to Granville Island when you're in Vancouver and plan to catch one of their shows. You'll be entertained!
18. Running the Seawall: For a truly stunning perspective of Vancouver's highlights, it's hard to come up with anything grander than traveling along the seawall. It's ranked #1 of 271 things to do in Vancouver on TripAdvisor. On our last morning in Vancouver, I awakened at 5 a.m. to do some sunrise running. While I originally planned to run around the 8.8-kilometer Stanley Park portion of the seawall, some early morning web-surfing inspiration (at Tommy Horton's, where I took in some pre-run coffee) provoked me to consider running the entire 22-kilometer seawall. I took that inspiration and literally ran with it! Read this post I wrote the following morning with fresh reflections on my experience. Here's an overview and map of the seawall:
While my experience with the seawall involved running, it's also an ideal path for walkers, cyclists, and inline skaters. For the most part, the pathway has two clearly marked sections, which enables walkers and joggers to travel safely on foot without interfering with the cyclists and skaters. With it being such a popular attraction for tourists and residents alike, this organization helps tremendously so that congestion doesn't take away from enjoyment of the breath-taking views (and from the fitness component of the experience).
Whether it's a casual stroll along the path, a focused encircling of Stanley Park, or a committed traversing of the entire seawall, you'll be inspired and refreshed. And for those looking for an even more exhilarating experience, consider extending beyond the seawall and completing the 28-km Seaside Greenway, the world's longest uninterrupted waterfront path. It almost drew me in, but due to a combination of time constraints (we had other activities planned, plus the meter where I parked my car was up) and a desire to be kind to my body, I decided to leave that for a future visit.
19. The Foundation Eatery
Yelp helped us find this vegetarian and vegan-friendly restaurant nestled in Vancouver's Mt. Pleasant neighborhood. They're known for their stellar vegetarian nachos, but with our vegan inclinations, we found other items that satisfied our appetites. Since we just had a small window of time before an appointment for a chat and tour of nearby Hootsuite headquarters, the sub-5-minute walk from The Foundation worked out quite well.
20. Hootsuite
First off, for anyone who doesn't know Hootsuite, it's a company that was birthed in 2008 out of one man's (Ryan Holmes) desire to make the social media experience better for businesses. It's now recognized as one of Vancouver's most innovative tech companies, and the entire online world recognizes its contribution toward developing more efficient and organized social media protocols for businesses, organizations, and bloggers alike. Hootsuite works with Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Youtube, and many other social media outlets. We absolutely love and appreciate the technology that Hootsuite provides, and for our online business and travel blog, its free version has brought great structure and aid to our social media management practices. So, when we were presented with the opportunity to visit Hootsuite, we were delighted!
We met with David Godsall, Hootsuite's official blog Editorial Manager.
We were so thankful to have some moments with David amidst his day of meetings and Hootsuite blog responsibilities. He shared some of his personal journey in the world of blogging and editing. Once he had a sense of our blog, business, and goals, he offered some sparkling observations and insight. What a privilege to glean wisdom from such an accomplished and successful representative of this revolutionary company! In addition to the conversation, David took us on a tour:
We were so impressed by the apparent culture Hootsuite provides for employees. With many engineers hard at work developing new software and improvements to existing tools, there was this beautiful balance as we saw others taking time to nourish themselves in the shared kitchen and engage in ping pong games, foosball, and exercise (in the fitness area).
The creativity of the space, the communal areas, and the ubiquitous owls -- all very inspiring! With such inspiration, we decided to compose a spontaneous poem about Hootsuite:
Well, faithful readers, I imagine your travel-inclined minds are envisioning your first or next trip to Vancouver; andI hope these 20 activities inspire your strategic planning. May they be a springboard for your own unique itinerary, and even more, for those who've theorized about a trip to this area but just haven't put it in action yet; may these images and reflections cause you to leap into the realization of those dreams!

Fairbanks Curve work delayed
Temperatures expected to be too cool
Fairbanks Curve work delayed
Temperatures expected to be too cool
WINTER PARK, Fla. —
Paving work scheduled for Interstate 4's Fairbanks Curve has been delayed because cooler weather is expected.
Work was supposed to begin Monday on a project that involves stripping and grinding down the concrete on the roadway and then laying down a new asphalt surface over the top of the ground-down concrete.
The Florida Department of Transportation said temperatures must be at least 65 degrees to lay asphalt.
FDOT said the delay does not put the project behind schedule.
The cost of the project is estimated at $377,838.

Rolex Creates the Perfect Rubber Bracelet
Even if a concept is already out there, when Rolex decides to do something, they make it their own and take it all the way. One recent example of this is the rubber strap they unveiled at Baselworld 2015 on their new Everose gold Yacht-Master.
First off, don't call it a "strap;" it's officially the Oysterflex bracelet. And with all its features, it's not hard to see why they'd be so particular about the name.
The bracelet consists a pair of titanium blades that are coated in a high-end rubber-like material called black elastomer. Each piece has a built-in cushion pad that lifts the band off the skin to allow air to circulate and somehow better stabilize the watch. The Everose gold Oysterlock clasp may seem a bit heavy and fancy for the rubber, but it balances out the watch nicely.

While the California Three Strikes law imprisoned thousands of people due to its harsh provisions, the effect of three strikes laws in most other states was muted or non-existent. By 1996, the federal system had less than ten three strikes conviction, as did twelve of the states with such provisions.
From a 1998 RAND Report:
Not surprisingly, as a result of these smaller triggering-offense lists and incremental changes, much smaller numbers of offenders have been sentenced under these laws. For example, by the end of 1996, Washington had admitted only 85 offenders to prison under its law, which went into effect a year earlier than California's (Clark, Austin, and Henry, 19971.0 By September of that year, six states which had implemented three strikes in 1994 or 1995 had not sentenced any offenders under the law.* Twelve other states and the federal system each had ten or fewer three-strikes convictions (Campaign for an Effective Crime Policy, 1996). (Link)
Black Silent Majority notes that black communities were active in 1970s tough on crime campaigns.
California Three Strikes goes into details on the California law, which was harsh.
The federal three strikes law had little impact on incarceration rates, at least at first. See True Impact of Federal Three Strikes
Washington State Three Strikes started the whole thing, but applied to very few criminals.

Garden on top
Garden design on the top level
Roof gardens represent the "highest level" of garden design. They are lofty lifestyle oases - modern, rural, romantic or classic - that show nature and architecture in perfect harmony.
In this book, renowned architects and garden designers present exclusive roof garden ideas with contemporary materials, trendy furniture, tried and tested plants and modern light installations, from four continents. Architect Friedensreich Hundertwasser's theory that "anything that is horizontal under the open sky belongs to nature. Roads and roofs should be tree-covered..." is put into practice in a contemporary way.
From the contents
• Intensive or extensive - what roof gardens "give" us
• Secret gardens - very private lifestyle oases
• Public places - roof gardens for all
• The challenge - sun, rain, storms and no ground beneath the roots
• Rising to the challenge - tried and tested specimens from the plant world
• Looking forward - the future of "green roofs"
About the author
Engineer Barbara P. Meister, MA, is a trained garden and landscape designer, qualified teacher and communications manager. She takes care of publications about all things green as a specialist editor.

Bruno Beger
|Bruno Beger
Beger conducting anthropometric studies in Sikkim
April 27, 1911
Frankfurt am Main, German Empire
October 12, 2009 98) (aged
Königstein im Taunus, Germany
|Alma mater
|University of Jena
|Known for
|1938–1939 German expedition to Tibet
Bruno Beger (27 April 1911 – 12 October 2009) was a German racial anthropologist who worked for the Ahnenerbe. In that role he participated in Ernst Schäfer's 1938 journey to Tibet, helped the Race and Settlement Office or SS-Rasse- und Siedlungshauptamt of the SS identify Jews, and later helped select human subjects to be killed to create an anatomical study collection of Jewish skeletons.
Early life
Beger was born in 1911 to an old Heidelberg family that soon after came upon hard times when Beger's father was killed in World War I, but a family friend paid for him to attend the University of Jena where he was first exposed to Hans F. K. Günther during a lecture, a man who would encourage him through his early academic career in anthropology and ethnology.
Service in the SS
In 1934, Beger began working a part-time job in the Race and Settlement Office of the SS where he eventually became a section head. Beger was asked to be part of an expedition to Hawaii, but while this was awaiting final approval, he was invited on a trip to Tibet led by Ernst Schäfer which he accepted instead.
In a proposal he wrote to Schäfer, Beger stated his contribution to the expedition would be "to study the current racial-anthropological situation through measurements, trait research, photography and moulds... and to collect material about the proportion, origins, significance and development of the Nordic race in this region."[1]
German Ernst Schäfer Tibet Expedition
All through the expedition, Beger kept a travel diary which was published in book form 60 years later, Mit der deutschen Tibetexpedition Ernst Schäfer 1938/39 nach Lhasa (Wiesbaden, 1998). Only 50 copies of it exist.[2]
Jewish skeleton collection
Beger worked together with August Hirt at the Reichsuniversität Straßburg. His assignment, which he carried out, was to provide the Nazi physician with detainees of diverse ethnic types from various concentration camps in order to serve Hirt's lethal racial experiments. The work involved selecting over 100 individuals from Auschwitz to be murdered for their skeletons. They were mainly Jews, and the crime was exposed during the Nuremburg trials in 1946 . The victims were sent to Natzweiler concentration camp for gassing by Joseph Kramer. Their corpses were then sent to Hirt in Strasburg. In these endeavours he was assisted by doctors Hans Endres, Hans Fleischhacker, Heinrich Rübel and Rudolf Trojan. [3]
After the war
In 1974 he was convicted by a German court as an accessory to 86 murders for his part in procuring and preparing the victims of the Jewish skeleton collection at Auschwitz concentration camp. The victims were transported to Natzweiler-Struthof concentration camp in August 1943 and gassed there by Josef Kramer, the commandant who was later hanged by the British for war crimes committed at Belsen concentration camp. Beger was sentenced to 3 years imprisonment, the minimum sentence, but did not serve any time in prison.
According to his family, Beger died in Königstein/Taunus on October 12, 2009.[4][5]

There's a Community Breakfast at the Community Centre this Saturday, 7:30-10:30 a.m. I've already made arrangements to have that morning free so I can help out in the kitchen. It'll be a bigger event than some breakfasts, because we're the designated breakfast stop for the Eden Tractor Trek.
Come and enjoy a hearty breakfast (or a light one, if you choose) with us, and admire the beautifully-restored tractors as their drivers get ready for a leisurely fund-raising drive. Proceeds go to the Eden Foundation, which provides mental health services to Winkler and the surrounding area.
Breakfast is open to everyone, and we'll be glad to take your order and serve you breakfast. And the cost? Your donation.
Well it's been a while since anything was posted at this site. No, we haven't forgotten about it, it's just that with all the rain, we've been busy with our new pool. Busy trying to get rid of it that is.
Our basement was only a coal chute and cistern, with a dirt floor when it was built, but later someone put in a nice concrete floor. They never did bother to make it very level, and drainage was never a priority. A few years ago, a hole was cut into the floor and a sump pump was put in, but it only gets the water that seeps into the hole.
With the floor being very VERY wavy, we wound up with 3 inches of water in one area and a dry spot six feet away. The wet/dry vacuum was turned on and 20+ gallons were sucked up and drained into the sump pit, but we could see it seeping in at the edge of the wall. after a few mornings like that we decided to make a second sump hole.
Cutting through the concrete was made easier by the puddle that cooled the blade and kept the dust down, but after cutting around the hole, a sledge was needed. It took another day to find a sledge to borrow while the water now came into the basement at a much faster rate. Two hits broke it up and several buckets of mud were dug out with a new sump pump installed.
This seemed to solve most of the problems, however the basement is still quite damp, and a few things got wet through this whole process. Some of my wife's favourite books were in a box on the floor that got soaked. Two weeks or more later we're still trying to salvage them. It turns out that they can be saved. Even a bit of mold isn't the end of the world.
So, we're getting closer to a usable basement again. This fall I'll have to improve both sump pits to go a little deeper and maybe try to drive some pipes into the soil to help the water drain.
We went to the Mission Supper this past Friday. This was the first Mission supper I have gone to. My wife has gone to several and told me what we could expect as far as food, and she was pretty close on the menu.
As you can see, the centre piece looked great
The meats included sweet and sour farmer sausage and chicken with a cornmeal breading. The chicken was good, nice flavour and not too dry either. Clearly the people making the chicken know what they're doing. The sausage was also good. I never grew up with sweet ans sour sausage and until a couple of years ago, I only had it one or two times. It's still a little strange for me, but I really like it. One of these days I'm going to have to try making it myself.
You'll notice the recipe section of our web site. It's not there by accident. I am quite fond of cooking and baking and have kicked my wife out of what was her kitchen, and am making it mine. She's just as happy to let me do that, although she did make supper the other day. It is up to me to make most of the meals, so I look for things that can be made ahead and pre-portioned into lunches or easily reheated if we are short on time. The challenge to all this is to find something other than chili, stew, or sandwiches.
So when we go to a supper like this I keep my eyes open for different flavours that I'm not used to, and flavours that I've forgotten about. I think the farmer sausage will be on our menu this spring.
Your friends and neighbours enjoying a great meal.
So if you have a really good recipe for sweet and sour farmer sausage, or anything else for that matter, post a recipe on our site.
I was driving into Reinland the other day when I spotted a strange sight. Someone lost the hood of their truck. Well I assume it was a truck, looked like a nice dark blue truck. Probably a few years old.
The hood was leaning up against the sign for the village and it looked like it was in good shape too.
At first I thought, "someone was using it as a sled and lost it" but it didn't look scratched up or really even dented. Now it didn't look like it was in that great a shape, after all the car or truck that it was supposed to be attached to seemed to be missing. You would think that someone would notice if their hood was missing and try to duct tape it back on, or maybe some bungee cords to hold it down. Sadly though the hood was left at the side of the road, lonely and missing its home.
I didn't have my camera with me, so I came back later and took a picture. It was getting late, so it's partly lit by the headlights.
(click for bigger picture)
Hey, there is more info...
turns out someone removed the hood from the sign, so it may have found its way home.

It's been more than two years since we last heard new music from Montreal's Stars, but just last week we got Ben Gibbard covering their classic "Set Yourself On Fire," and today, the first single from their forthcoming LP, The North. It couldn't come at a more perfect moment: "The Theory Of Relativity" showcases the band at their summer-poppiest, all bubbling synths, click-clap drums and infectious melody; the verses are delivered by Torquil Campbell with Amy Millan chiming in on the chorus. It's 99 degrees in NYC today but this thing is like a sweet breeze. Hear below:

The public may never get the whole sordid story on the California Coastal Commission's firing last week of its executive director, but it's not too late to insist that the powerful land-use board – and the consultants who make millions lobbying its members – be subjected to future transparency.
The Coastal Commission, which was created shortly before the state's 1974 Political Reform Act, isn't explicitly included in state laws covering lobbying disclosures. Why not? That's another mystery in what seems to be a whole stretch of murky commission waters.
But it's long past time to close the accountability gap, and to curb the often-flagrant coziness that some consultants have cultivated with members of the commission – a dynamic that has fueled speculation that frustrated developers were behind the demise of the top executive, Charles Lester.
We're not convinced it was that cut and dried. But Lester's firing was certainly a ham-handed disaster. And certainly his relationship with his bosses wasn't helped by the dual roles many of them hold as appointed stewards of the California Coastal Act, on one hand, and as local elected officials or political consultants for coastal landowners.
Given the variety of political hats so many commissioners wear, there are too many creepy opportunities for, say, political contributions to find their way into a commissioner's campaign war chest, or for a consultant in the audience to do a favor for a consultant on the dais – to perhaps be returned later. And the coastal access at stake is far too precious for the public to just trust them. As it is, critics of Lester's firing raised questions in public testimony about the influence of commissioner-turned-consultant Susan McCabe.
Good for Assembly Speaker Toni Atkins and Assemblymen Mark Stone and Marc Levine, who proposed legislation on Tuesday to brighten the lights, requiring that people who try to influence the commission register with the state and report their clients, how much they get paid and what issues they're seeking to influence. Assembly Bill 2002 should help level the playing field in the constant fight to maintain access to the coast.
Lawmakers should pass it. And they should resist the suggestion by Commissioner Wendy Mitchell – who also is a political consultant – that it be tied to a commission website that would let developers and others with pending projects know where their applications are in the process. That commission business should be more public, too, but the disclosure is needed now, for trust reasons.
Speaking of which, Gov. Jerry Brown, who has four appointees, should seek new commissioners. The current group may have had their concerns, but threw the public's business into turmoil by letting the management of Lester degenerate into a political mugging. Until the governor gets the blood out of the water, public confidence won't be restored.

Carmel >> Carmel Plaza will have a new look in a few months when a major remodel, now well underway, is completed.
The work started in March with renovation of restrooms on the plaza's third floor. They have been completed. Last week crews were finishing the demolition of the north end of the courtyard on the ground floor.
All of the plaza's tenants remain open during the construction. On Thursday, one of the newest tenants, Hahn Family Vineyards Tasting Room, held its grand opening.
That brings to three the number of wine tasting rooms in the Plaza. Wrath Vineyards and Blair Estate Wines are the other two. Blair is set to open in November.
The city of Carmel approved the remodel project last year. Corporate owner O'Connor Capital Partners declined to reveal the cost of the project, which is expected to be completed in the first quarter for 2018.
Built in 1962, Carmel Plaza anchors the business district in Carmel at Junipero Street and Ocean Avenue. It expanded in 1974, and the courtyard was built in 1977. The last remodel was in 2005.
Belli Architectural Group of Salinas is the architect for the latest project. The general contractor is Hare Construction. BFS Landscaping Architects are doing the landscaping.
All of the contractors involved in the project are local, said Gayle Speare of Cushman & Wakefield, the company that manages the property. Speare has been at the plaza for more than 3 years.
The overall scope of the remodel, she said, is to provide a more comfortable and relaxed experience for visitors.
Speare described the plaza as a specialty life-style center that fits in well with the beauty of the Carmel-Pebble Beach area. It attracts visitors from all over the world, including passengers on cruise ships anchored in Monterey Bay.
While it has been noisy and dusty during the remodel, the project is going smoothly. A number of stores in the plaza had signs on their doors this week, saying they are open during the construction.
"Our tenants have been troopers through this process," Spear said. "We've always said the more noise you hear the faster we're going."
Carmel has noise restriction limits, so loud construction noise is allowed only from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Speare said noisy work is being done between 8 a.m. to 10 a.m.
The overall focus of the plaza project, Speare said, is owner investment to open it up and maximize visability and comfort.
So what will be different when it's all completed?
The courtyard will be much more user friendly. There will be new staircases, gas fire pits, benches and planters with drought-tolerant plants. Stone is being imported from Egypt and Italy
"I think it will be a very vibrant place for locals and visitors to enjoy," Speare said.
On the Ocean Avenue floor and the third floor, locally made wrought iron railings are being installed. Cedar paneling is being installed on the eves along with new lighting. New stucco and gutters also are part of the project.
Besides Hahn and Blair, the plaza has attracted several other new tenants. Carmel Honey Store recently opened, and the Carmel Chamber of Commerce and its Visitors Center have relocated there.
Speare said the plaza is always looking for possible new tenants, including new restaurants. "We know we can handle more food," she said.
Although the project won't be completed until next year, Speare said the plaza will continue its tradition of lighted Christmas trees during the holidays. And it's live music series will be back next year.
"I know we're going to be very proud of it (the remodel), and the community will embrace what we've completed," Speare said.

A busy fellow we know says winter is the time for indoor cooking, standing up. And summer is for outdoor cooking on the side - his right side. Recumbent cookery, he calls it.
To emulate him, you need an outdoor grill, meat, kitchen timer, hammock, and hammock filler - you. Light charcoal, set timer for 20 minutes, climb in hammock , turn on right side. Zzzzzz.
Brrring! Arrange charcoal. Array meat. Set timer for eight minutes, depending on cut of meat. Return to hammock. Zzzzzz.
Brrring! Reset timer for five minutes. Flip meat. Flip you. Zzzzzz.
Brrring! Arise and serve.
One more thing. When spouse or company comments on how hard you must have worked to produce such delectables, be modest: ''I work nearly as hard at the office.''

From Paul Hart's talented youngsters reaching the play-offs, to relegation to League One, then two successive Championship play-off finishes under Billy Davies, to the malaise engulfing them today, it has been a case of one step forwards, two back for the two-time European champions.
One constant has been the ongoing friction between their managers and the infamous transfer-acquisitions committee, guided by David Pleat, which was set up by chairman Nigel Doughty, who has also confirmed he will step down at the end of the season. While McClaren's predecessor, Davies, continued to deliver results on the field, his relationship with his employers was frosty.
He eventually succeeded in getting the much-maligned panel disbanded last season, yet Pleat remained and, after defeat to Swansea City in the play-off semi-finals, the Scot was sacked in June.
McClaren was all smiles on his appointment on June 13 but, before long, his rhetoric could have been mistaken for that of Davies.
The warning signs were apparent even before a ball was kicked after McClaren described the close season as the most frustrating of his career. By early September, following a 4-1 defeat at home to West Ham, his relationship with the board appeared under strain when he questioned their ambition and warned a "long season" lay ahead unless further signings were made. He even considered his future. When the window closed, Forest had spent £2 million.
Their season sank to a new low last month when they lost 2-1 to Derby County – despite Derby having their keeper sent off just two minutes in.
After a 5-1 defeat at Burnley last Tuesday, Pleat was axed from his £120,000-a-year post.Subsequently, McClaren bowed to player power by agreeing to allow performance director Bill Beswick, an unpopular figure in the dressing room, to go.
Yet none of those changes off the field amounted to any change on it and Sunday's 3-1 defeat by Birmingham City was the catalyst for the two biggest heads of all to roll — leaving Forest in a full-blown crisis.

The local property developer is also fast becoming a jolly green giant in LEED construction.
From left: Megaworld strategic marketing and communications director Harold C. Geronimo and first vice president Jericho Go
Local real estate developer Megaworld Corporation announced their intent to add around 112,000 square meters of office space to Uptown Bonifacio in Bonifacio Global City (BGC), The Mactan Newtown in Cebu, and Iloilo Business Park this year. During a press briefing held recently, the developer revealed that this expansion will ramp up the company's office space portfolio to 712,000 square meters, bolstering their position as the leading office developer and landlord in the country.
The increase will be spread across developments in 6 new towers: 30,000 sqm each in Uptown Tower 1 and 2 in Uptown Bonifacio; 30,000 sqm in 8 Newtown Office Tower and 7,000 sqm in Two World Center in The Mactan Newtown; and 10,000 sqm in IBP BPO Building A and 5,000 sqm in Richmonde Office Tower in the Iloilo Business Park.
Driven by demand
According to Megaworld, 126 companies are leasing their office spaces nationwide, and 87% of their business tenants are in the business process outsourcing (BPO) sector. They also expect that 65% of their income will be coming from the BPO office leasing side.
"As we continue to build more state-of-the-art, environment-friendly office towers, we hope to help grow the country's BPO sector by encouraging more companies to come and operate in the Philippines," Go said, who shared that business tenants in their new office spaces will be a mix of new and current occupants.
Go also mentioned that a substantial part of the additional leasing spaces in Uptown Bonifacio and The Mactan Newtown have already been precommitted, with expectations that IBP Building A will be taken up within the year.
Colliers International Research representative associate director and head of research and consultancy Julius Guevarra was on hand to lend data indicating Megaworld as the top office space provider in the Philippines with a 23% market share.
"As you can see, the basis for us having accelerated and continue to commit a minimum of 100,000 square meters per year is largely a factor of demand. There is demand, and I think the Colliers report also lends credence to that because there's a… 4% vacancy, which is actually very positive on the part of a developer like Megaworld," he explained
Taking the LEED in eco-friendly design
Megaworld also took care to mention that the two office towers to rise in McKinley Hill have already been certified by LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design). This move, according to Go, was fueled by both environmental and business factors.
"First, we want to do our share in reducing the carbon footprint, and that's a conscious decision on the part of the Megaworld management. And the second is we need to align with global standards. We have the expertise, we have training, and we have the manpower for that, so I think that's another key advantage for Megaworld Corporation as a developer."
"We want to do our share as a company into going into LEED development. And as a consequence, we are able to broaden our customer base, especially those that are limited to taking just LEED buildings," he added.
Residential condo takeup
Asked how this expansion will affect occupancy rates of residential condos in the said townships, Megaworld offered a bullish outlook, especially with their forecast that the completion of these additional office spaces will create 60,000 jobs within the next five years.
"We definitely anticipate an uptick in the demand for our residential condo units as we add more office buildings in our townships," Megaworld strategic marketing and communications director Harold C. Geronimo expressed. "BPOs are drivers of growth for our residential segment especially since we create communities where people can live, work, play and even learn at the same time all in one place."
To date, Megaworld has already completed 26 corporate office towers in the country – 10 in Eastwood City, 14 in McKinley Hill, 1 in Newport City, and 1 in The Mactan Newtown.
