Ghana goalkeeper Fatau Dauda is set to get more games at Orlando Pirates after interim coach Eric Tinkler admitted regular Senzo Meyiwa has lost his shine.
The first choice Black Stars shot-stopper made his long-awaited competitive debut for the Bucs in their 1-0 defeat to Mamelodi Sundowns on Saturday.
Dauda came in moments after Meyiwa has failed to deal with a thunderous strike by Hlompho Kekana that handed Sundowns the lead – which eventually proved to be the match winner.
The South African goalkeeper complained of an unspecified injury and was booed by the fans as he limped off the pitch.
Several fans of the Buccaneers have blamed Meyiwa's loss of form for their recent slump the South African top flight and wondered why the coaches at Pirates have failed to use the Ghana goalkeeper.
Interim coach Eric Tinkler in admitting to the 26-year-old's loss of form says the criticisms on Meyiwa are unfair as the club will do all it can to help him get back to his best.
Senzo Meyiwa has lost his form
"You guys are a little bit harsh. You know, look at what this boy has done for this club during the Champions League," Tinkler points out.
"I still think he is one of the best goalkeepers in the country.
"I think he's going through a bit of a difficult time at the moment and we will try to support him as much as we can, and I'm sure we as the club will make a decision on how we handle the situation with Senzo.
"It will be an internal matter and it won't go out to the media.
"We still believe in Senzo … I'm obviously not happy with what happened [against Sundowns] and that's why I made the sub of Dauda coming in.
"We will assess the situation over the next couple of days to see what we do when we go to Free State Stars."
Tinkler's comments could open a window of opportunity for Fatau Dauda who is in desperate need of regular first team action especially as the 2014 World Cup approaches.
The injury and loss of form of Meyiwa would therefore leave the ex AshantiGold player in a good position to be constantly picked for games.
Dauda could even claim the no . 1 spot for himself of he manages to excel whenever he is given the opportunity.
This opportunity could come as early as Wednesday when Orlando Pirates travel to face Free State Stars in the Absa Premier League.

If you are going to query something that isn't your own named, it sounds like a bit more work than I would do for a quick hack. Come to think of it, I wonder is a simple "host" waiting to resolve the hostname would be good enough as a self-adjusting wait for the nameserver to come up. eg. before doing the ntpdate, run: host -w -W 120 us.pool.ntp.org || echo "named is sucking mud again" -wolfgang

NCAA to test for sickle cell in settlement in Rice case
Lawsuit settled in death of Rice player
Published 5:30 am, Sunday, June 28, 2009
The Rice athletics department has tested its athletes for the sickle cell trait for three years, and now they will put forth an initiative that the NCAA make such testing mandatory for all student-athletes.
That action is one of several which will stem from the settlements of the wrongful death lawsuit filed last September by the family of Rice football player Dale Lloyd II. Rice and the NCAA have each settled with the Lloyd family.
Lloyd, a freshman defensive back, collapsed following a conditioning workout on Sept. 24, 2006. He died the next morning at Memorial Hermann Hospital as a result of "acute excertional rhabdomyolysis," which is associated with sickle cell trait.
"Nothing brings closure to a loss of a child, but what was important to the Lloyd family was that it gets answers and it ensures it doesn't happen to another family," said Gene Egdorf, the lead counsel for the Lloyd family. "And while there are no guarantees, I think we're all confident we succeeded in those goals."
The lawsuit has ended, but the Lloyd family hopes the changes are just beginning.
Following the settlement, the NCAA announced that for the first time it will recommend all of its student-athletes are tested for sickle cell trait. The NCAA cannot mandate testing unless one of its schools proposes the initiative and the others vote to pass it.
Rice has agreed as part of its settlement to take the lead to mandate testing by all NCAA schools. If Rice works with Conference USA to submit a legislative proposal by July 15, the proposal could come to an NCAA vote as early as January during the NCAA Convention.
"We are very pleased and very happy with Rice that they are stepping up and taking that step because frankly a recommendation is not enough," Egdorf said. "It has to get done. That's how we're going to save lives. We're all thankful to Rice for taking that step, and we're thankful to the NCAA, I believe they will adopt that resolution."
In the most recent survey done in 2006, 64-percent of the schools that play Division I-A football indicated they were already testing. Rice has tested its athletes ever since Lloyd's death.
While the rest of the settlement with Rice is confidential, the NCAA's settlement was made public.
The NCAA will donate $50,000 to the Sickle Cell Disease Association of America in the name of Dale Lloyd II. The funds will go toward awareness, education and screening for sickle cell trait in athletes. They will also contribute $10,000 to the Dale Lloyd II Scholarship Fund.
"We pass along our condolences to the Lloyd family," Erik Christianson, NCAA Director of Public and Media Relations. "We feel that it's important that we take these next steps to continue to raise awareness of this situation to help further ensure the health and well-being of all our student-athletes."
Mark Lanier, founder of the Lanier Law Firm that represented the family, also will be contributing $20,000 to the scholarship fund.

As a service center for grassroots activists, FreedomWorks exists to empower limited government conservatives inside and outside of the party structure. We've been documenting and reporting on the RNC's power grab since last August. Last week I reported on the RNC's Spring meeting and the continuing fight against the newly adopted rules.
Last August the seeds of dissention against the grassroots inside the RNC were sown and began to take root. At the committee meeting held during the Republican National Convention, several rules changes were adopted that reduced the power of the grassroots conservatives and libertarian leaning activists inside the GOP.
When the Romney camp and the Republican establishment rewrote Rule 15 at the RNC to centralize more power within the party hierarchy, they created a massive grassroots backlash from grassroots activists, Tea Partiers, and Ron Paul supporters.
The Romney campaign and Republican party leaders have pulled off an audacious coup that could greatly reduce the influence of grassroots conservatives and libertarians within the party in 2016 and beyond.

History of Scouting In The Bahamas 1913-2013
Some five years after Lt. General Robert Baden-Powell held his experimental camp on Brownsea Island of the coast of England, Scouting reached The Bahamas late in 1912.
In 1912 Baden-Powell had toured the Caribbean but did not visit The Bahamas. It may very well have been the publicity surrounding his tour which prompted Evelyn Lobb to introduce Scouting to The Bahamas.
The Bahamas Branch of Boys Scout as it was then called, came into being in February, 1913 and was officially recognized by Imperial Headquarters on March 19th, 1913.
Miss Evelyn Lobb, was a member of the Government House Staff, she was instrumental in forming the 1st Bahamas Troop. This Troop which was attached to the Nassau Grammar School was very quickly followed by others; the 2nd Bahamas Troop (an Open Group) was attached to Queen's College; the 3rd Bahamas Troop was sponsored by St. Mathew's Church, also two Out Island Troops were formed; the 4th Bahamas Troop on Inagua Island and the 5th Bahamas Troop on Exuma Island.continue...

Sunderland boss Paolo di Canio wants to see the Academy producing more senior talent.
Jack Colback and Jordan Henderson are the only two Sunderland players to have made the breakthrough in recent years to play regularly in the first team, prior to Henderson's £16million move to Liverpool.
Di Canio said: "This is a club that can spend the money to bring players but in a big geographic area like Sunderland we have to bring up some players like Jack Colback that can feed the first team.
"I don't want to say how many as it is not easy when you are talking about Premier League players but we have to make sure we are working well and already the coaches, the academy, the scouts, have done a good job.
"We know that some young players will join us in the summer. We have to make sure we deliver for them to be ready when they step forward to the first-team. We have to be closer and work for a link with the academy and the first team."

GREENWICH, Conn. (AP) -- Regional railroad operator Genesee & Wyoming Inc. said Wednesday it will sell more than 3 million shares of stock and 2 million equity units to fund its purchase of RailAmerica Inc.
Genesee & Wyoming is offering 3.3 million shares of Class A stock and 2 million equity units, each of which will consist of a prepaid stock purchase contract and an amortizing note.
The units, priced at $100 each, will automatically settle for Class A common shares on Oct. 1, 2015, if they are not redeemed earlier. The amortizing notes will pay equal quarterly installments that will include a partial repayment of principal and a repayment of interest. The final installment payment will be Oct. 1, 2015.
The company said the underwriters of the offerings will have the opportunity to buy another 525,000 Class A shares and 300,000 equity units.
In July Genesee & Wyoming agreed to buy fellow regional railroad operator RailAmerica for about $1.39 billion in cash, and the offering will help the company fund that deal. If that deal is not completed, Genesee & Wyoming will use the money for other corporate purposes like strategic investments and acquisitions.
BofA Merrill Lynch, Citigroup, and J.P. Morgan will be the joint book-running managers of both offerings.
The Greenwich, Conn., company also said Chairman Mortimer Fuller III will sell 234,000 shares in the offering, but Genesee won't get proceeds from that sale.
Shares of Genesee & Wyoming rose $1.50, or 2.3 percent, to $67.92 on Wednesday, then shed $3.02, or 4.5 percent, to $64.90 in after-hours trading.

Oh damn, the Noctua fans were literally leaking oil? That's bad alright...
Love my monitor. Worth every penny
After spending what I did to achieve great air temps in my 800D, I wouldn't recommend it unless you want to invest around another $100 on fans and filters. My 670s never hit above 67c when using maxed settings on Heaven and Valley benchmarks, but I use an aggressive fan curve since I can't hear them with my headset on.
The setup I found that worked best for my 800D and cooling my GPUs were to make every fan as intake (with fan filters) and only having the GPUs exhaust along with passive exhaust from the cases vents. It has worked very well. I used to have only the bottom fan as intake like Corsair intended, but the negative pressure in my case caused a lot of dust to get in, along with the cooling not being as great as it is now.

Sadly, nobody reacts that fast. The benefit of these displays is that they look very pretty.120Hz for FPS games and other high awareness/quick response dependant games it's a godsent really.
For the sake of argument, let's say you're an average sized adult human-being (anybody past puberty). The length between your brain and your finger tips is going to be somewhere around 1m: you've probably noticed most people you encounter are roughly 2m tall and also that your arm span is 'close enough' to the measure from your head to your toes.
Action potentials travel 50ms/s (+/- 20%) in alpha motor neurons (the nerves that send signals to the nerve fibres that make your body move about) in your arms/wrist (see: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1557081)
Thanks to the wonders of the metric system we can see that the time a signal takes to travel from your brain to your fingers is 20ms (1m / 50m/s = 1/50s). A 60hz monitor refreshes at 1/60s or 16ms which is already quicker than a signal can get from your brain to your finger tips. if send a signal on frame A, frame A+1 will be displayed before it arrives at your fingers.
that doesn't take into account the processing time that has to go on your brain in order to respond to a stimulus. The travel time was measured by sticking electrodes on nerves, sending a shock at one end and waiting for it to arrive on the other. You don't instantly respond to stimulus that way: photons from your display hit your eye - they get turned into an image, you decide "i'm going to dodge left, that means press my left index finger, arm go! *signal fired*"
Even people you would think to be very sensitive, like race-car drivers or fighter pilots, tend to have similar reaction times to "normal people"(http://www.jneurosci.org/content/30/50/17063.abstract). I think it would be fair to put top-ranked 'videogame athletes' into a category with those sorts of people (ie: the worlds best starcraft player isn't 5x better than the worlds best military pilots). Navy pilots have a reaction time for noticing a 100% contrast 'spot' on a at 350 cd/m (pretty similar to what a good LCD today would be) screen of around 220ms with the best measure times around 140ms (see: http://www.dtic.mil/dtic/tr/fulltext/u2/a178485.pdf). See a change: press a button is ~220ms, travel time for the signal down your arm is around 20ms so that's around 1/5 of a second just to say "oh look, something is different".
What does all that mean? Even if you had a brain 10x more 'sensitive/quicker' than a fighter pilot, and nerves that worked 10x faster than any human being, a 60hz monitor would still draw 2 frames before you could react. In the real world of normal brains and nerves: it makes no difference whether 10 frames or 20 scroll past before you press your kill button: your crumby ape body doesn't have the kind of performance needed to react to changes any quicker than that.
The real reason to want a 120hz screen is because it looks nice. You might not be able to react any faster but you can notice that motion looks smoother (assuming you have hardware to drive > 60 FPS) and you can appreciate the color saturation, viewing angle, contrast, etc.
Firstly, the frame doesn't "arrive at your fingers", it arrives to your eyes.
Secondly, additional frames are only rendered AFTER you input further controls (e.g. move the mouse), not before. How can the game render something to your left when you haven't turned left to look over there? It will only do it as you turn, only when you move your mouse can the game begin to register and render that movement. That takes additional time.
Thirdly, you're not understanding how input lag works. When they say that it takes 16ms for a 60hz monitor to display a frame, they are referring to the maximum display time. I.e. there is a chance of you moving your mouse at the beginning of a frame and the monitor not displaying that movement until 16ms have passed until the next frame has been displayed. 120hz reduces that maximum response time to 8ms, which is excellent especially in fast-paced games.
As to the rest of your post, look up what screen tearing and ghosting is, and what 120hz does to address those. No point writing a thesis about 120hz's least significant benefit.

what most people seem to forget that at high levels of intense game play, whether it's counterstrike or guitar hero, top players play pro-actively, not re-actively, meaning that all this nonsense about reaction time is pointless, only a bambi reacts

Does your DH use coupons?
My DH does when I send him to the store or even for haircuts
No, not even if I send him with them... so annoying when we could have saved like $10 but he refused to use it!
Yes. He does most of the shopping, and he will use what I hand him. He was especially excited about the 50% off Cutter's Point Coffee groupon.
Yes he does I have 15 bottles of shampoo and conditioner sitting here because it was a good deal with a coupon. :)
Yes, when I hand them to him. He never clips any, but I load them onto our FoodLion card and our Walgreens card. Plus, we are trying to go to the grocery store less, so when we go, I have our coupons. We went the other day and the cashier said she has never seen a man use coupons and we just laughed!
Dd's dad will once in a while, usually for auto service, but not for regular shopping. If I'm with him, I'll use them if I have them, and he often seems impressed with how much I save, especially at Target. He seems quite intrigued with the Cartwheel, but he doesn't use it himself.

He wanted revenge on the Goofy Island Amusement Park, so he kidnapped the owner, Phillip Filch, and sabotaged the park's rides while disguised as him in a rubber mask.

For instance, Lambert Hitchcock of
Connecticut, created the first mass-produced chair which today bears his
name. The Boston rocker originated in a cabinetmakers shop in Boston.
The davenport, a small desk with a hinged lid that opens out for
writing, was originally made by William Davenport. Later, a large sofa
which sometimes converted into a bed also became known as a davenport.
In colonial days, a bed meant a featherbed or
mattress. The frame was known as a bedstead. Mirrors were known as
looking glasses. A chest with four or more drawers was known as a
One of the oddest pieces of furniture is the commode.
Initially a French chest of drawers on legs, later called a chiffonier
and moved to refer to a movable washstand, with basin, waste pipe, etc.
to a piece of furniture containing a chamber pot. Finally, the name
became a pseudo-intellectual name for the common toilet.
Sofa, couch, love seat, or divanall refer to the
same type of seating. Or do they? A couch was actually a bed, from coucher, the French word meaning to lie down. A settee was an elongated
armchair that accommodated two or more people. Developed in the 17th
century, it was often upholstered.
A love seat was and still is a long seat consisting of
two seating cushions and intended to accommodate two people. Anything
with more than two cushions was called a sofa.
The sofas origins appear to stem from the French
day-bed, referring to any type of elongated seating, including the
chaise longue, or long chair, designed for resting rather than
sleeping. It usually had a raised end. While most early sofas were
upholstered, springs werent used in them until the early 19th
An ottoman was an upholstered footstool or low bench
without arms or back, named after the Turkish influence of the early
18th century.
Case furniture, that is furniture used for storage,
came in all sorts of forms. The trendy armoire was originally a large
mobile cupboard or wardrobe featuring doors and shelves for clothes
storage. A German variation was known as a kas. A more modern version,
also containing drawers, came to be called a wardrobe.
Chests also came in many varieties. Originally a piece
of squared furniture with drawers, it became known as a commode to the
French. A variation used a desk, featuring a fall-front, a cylinder
front or a tambour (roll-top) was called a bureau. A low English chest
of drawers on long legs was known as a lowboy and later as a dressing
table. By mounting a chest of drawers on top of it, it became a highboy,
from the French haut bois which means "high wood."
Dining rooms had a sideboard, a table with a wide
drawer at the center flanked by drawers or cupboards on the sides and
made to be used against a dining room wall for storing and serving food.
Sideboards began as credenzas, a serving table with a cupboard below the
surface, in the 15th Century. In the 16th Century, an upper, recessed
tier was added. This was also known as a dresser, where dishes
were dressed before serving. Today, this piece of furniture is commonly
called a buffet, based on its use as a vehicle for self-serve dinners.
Todays china closet was originally called a vitrine,
a cabinet with a glass door. The sides and top were often also of glass,
and it was designed to store and display china and curios.
Lastly, to keep milk and freshly-baked pies protected
from flies, simple cupboards, known as pie and milk safes, with doors
fitted with decorative, pierced tin panels to let the air circulate
through them, were popular from the 1820's to after the Civil War.

You can add to your nsswitch.conf file compatibility with the +/- syntax sometimes used in /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, and /etc/group files.
NIS+. To provide +/- semantics with NIS+, change the passwd and groups sources to compat and add a passwd_compat: nisplus entry to the nsswitch.conf file after the passwd or group entry as shown below:
passwd: compat passwd_compat: nisplus group: compat group_compat: nisplus
This specifies that client routines obtain their network information from /etc files and NIS+ tables as indicated by the +/- entries in the files.

Class of 2005: Ten Years Later
I'm upset at Michel. He was our Senior Class President and in the run up to the election in 2004, he assured me that if I voted for him then our Ten Year Reunion would have, and I quote "hella strippers and cocaine, bro." Well our Ten Year Reunion is coming up and there are neither strippers nor cocaine. In fact we don't even have a plan! What the hell Michel? What was all this "one in a million" talk?
What If The Rest of Us Had Released Mixtapes?
A few weeks ago, Sean FINALLY released his mixtape (listen to it, if you haven't yet). Jesus man, it only took you ten years. But, we're super stoked for him. In the course of the last few days, we got to thinking "what if the rest of us had released mixtapes"? Well, thanks to Sean's decent photoshop skills, my passable writing ability, and of course…the INTERNET, we're able to see what that could have looked like…

I've been at my parents' house this weekend and went to two wonderful gigs (for more see the upcoming Musical Mondays). As usual, a brief break from blogging has meant I've now got lots of new blog posts I want to write.
For now, I'll give my initial thoughts on Ed Miliband's shadow cabinet (as promised, we will be doing a thorough postmortem of the leadership election now all the posts are filled).
The appointments are a bit naff to be honest, aren't they? They all seem to be more about strategy rather than who is actually best for the position, as Seph Brown has said. Alan Johnson is a David-ite and a good communicator, but isn't necessarily the best candidate for shadow chancellor. He has said that his first act will be to buy a basic primer on economics. You can bet that will be quoted by the Tories every time he tries to attack their economic policy. The Shadow Chancellor position should go to someone who actually knows stuff about economics – which means either Ed Balls, or preferably Yvette Cooper, seeing as she topped the MPs' poll. Instead, both the latter two have been put in positions where their talents won't be of best use.
Also, Andy Burnham in charge of the general election campaign? The man who led the worst leadership campaign, if you discount Diane Abbot, and who seems to think that Labour lost the last election because they didn't spend enough time bashing immigrants. I thought Ed Miliband didn't want to outflank the coalition from the right on this issue? And as for appointing Phil Woolas as a junior minister, well, words cannot describe the irritation I feel, so I won't bother.
I'll doubtless post on this a little more in the weeks ahead. For now (I want to post this before midnight) I want to finish by saying that these appointments are those of someone trying to be too clever by half. There's a lot of square pegs in round holes. Ed Miliband, see me after class. You can do better.

For the second week in a row, Dynamo goalkeeper Tally Hall is on the ballot for MLS Save of the Week.
And although Geoff Cameron has been spectacular this season, I would argue that Hall has been the Dynamo's MVP so far this season.
If not for Hall's heroics, the Dynamo could very well be 0-3. That's how good he was against the Seattle Sounders and New York Red Bulls to help escape those trips with a point at each stop.
I'll have more on Hall, but now I just wanted to give you a chance to watch the acrobatic stop Hall made on Thierry Henry's header in the 90th minute Saturday at Red Bull Arena. As I told Hall yesterday, as great as that save was, I think it's only his second best of the season because his save the previous week against Seattle was even more majestic.
"What else can you say; he's been very good," Dominic Kinnear said of Hall. "He's pulled off some very good saves. I think the save against Henry down by the post there was excellent by him to kind of close that space and get down as quick as he did. Sometimes you rely on your goalkeeper to get you out of some sticky situations and when called upon Tally's been very good for us so far."
I'll have more on Tally in a feature for the Chronicle later this week.
Also, I wanted to remind you that the Dynamo will play Sporting Kansas City at the Texas A&M Soccer Stadium Wednesday night. I just got off the phone with A&M women's soccer coach G. Guerrieri, and he's stoked.
"Obviously we're all excited about it," Coach G. said. "As far as in town right now everyone in town is pretty focused on tonight's women's basketball game (national championship against Notre Dame). Once that goes through and hopefully we will win it, more attention will be focused on the Dynamo match."
I'll have more from my interview with Coach G. in the paper tomorrow and on a blog tomorrow. Also, keep in mind that KC will bring forward Omar Bravo, a former Mexican international and Chivas star who will surely test the defense.

The Repopulation. Lead developer Joshua Halls presents an overview of the sci-fi sandbox's new Inquiry System that allows players to glean additional information from NPCs throughout the world.
The system works like this: You simply click the NPC to make an inquiry. After any quest dialogues and vending is taken care of, the inquiry chat bubble will appear. Players can then ask about directions to someone or something or try to elicit hidden information using diplomacy skill. Want more information about a particular NPC, such as personality traits and profession? Ask his NPC friends around town! If you are interested in learning more of the world backstory or obtaining hidden missions, you can weasel that knowledge out of NPCs as well.
The Inquiry system will also be dynamic, with NPC moods and world events affecting what may become available during an inquiry.

Stay lean while bulking?
Looking to stay somewhat lean as I bulk. Would running 25mg T3 ED or 50MG EOD T3 benefit me some or would that simply be replacing my natural levels of t3?

dude i wish there was a way to stay real lean but u just gotta watvch the junk food and sodium and suger . i got a lil gut right now so during PCT im gunna run some clen too man
clen if you're off cycle, but the best way to lean bulk is to eat a clean diet during bulking and just eat all the time, lots of chicken, lean beef, turkey, oatmeal, sweet potatoes and lentils, walnuts, almonds and such are good way to get good fats and up your calories a bit
if you're on cycle i would cut what you're shooting with b12 to help increase your appetite
are you on cycle, if so write it out

I would run clen with your cycle. Test cycles are supposed to burn fat as well. However if you have a long estered test (test e) you would get more bloating that test p, and therefor not looking at cut. If I were to see that I would enable a SMALL amount of adex to counter the test e. Plus i'm a fan of clen. So I think if you run a lil amount of adex and some clen you can lean bulk/strength build while getting shredded.

Bonkers, Brutalism & Bloodymindedness - Jonathan Meades
Jonathan Meades is back on TV at the moment and this time he's talking about Brutalism. But if you turned on the telly for the first part of his (two-part) series expecting him to defend concrete high-rises and to set about those who refer to them as "monstrosities", you'd have been somewhat disconcerted.
Some people find him rude and bellicose; I find him challenging, but that's because my brain is always struggling to keep up as he races on, hurling multiple references to artists and authors into his stream of commentary.
Some of what I caught included a link between the mood of the 1860s (Modern Gothic) and the 1960s, and how we have veered from enthusiasm
to demolition to conservation in each case. (Victorian monstrosity -> concrete monstrosity.) He also sees the roots of Brutalist buildings in the bunkers and towers constructed by the Nazis.
As ever the visuals were interesting/ startling/ annoying and the programme included caustic comments about politicians and the unthinking masses. Why *should* buildings be beautiful, he asks? We don't expect chummy cliffs and matey waterfalls, so why should all our buildings be cosy? And do not the greatest artists incite the greatest contempt?
This wasn't a straightforward defence of Brutalism: he was, I believe, asking us to think about it instead of dismissing it, see it in the context of what has gone before, and consider our response to challenging buildings and art in general. In fact he was very rude about some early fans of concrete such as Reyner Banham – including one remark in particular, which I can't remember exactly, but it involved trampling over his grandmother in order to cosy up to a trend.
I've recently read a new book about architecture in post-war Britain by John Grindrod called Concretopia. This is a very accessible tour with the author – a native of New Addington who wanted to understand more about the origins of many of the UK's adventures in concrete - of places and projects around the UK, some more successful and some less so, including the Garden Cities, Cumbernauld, Milton Keynes, Croydon, the Elephant & Castle, the Bullring, and the Barbican. High-rise housing and unscrupulous developers/politicians also get a look-in. The general tone is friendly and it's as much a social history as a book about architecture.
I'd recommend this as a good place to start if you're interested in finding out about the people and intentions behind such projects: maybe tackle Mr. Meades after that. But that said, oh the joy of *thoughtful* television, programming that makes my brain work. More please, BBC.
Here's a link to the first Meades programme if you want to see it on iPlayer. It's up for another week and a bit. Episode two will be broadcast on the 23rd Feb. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b03vrphc

Re: Bonkers, Brutalism & Bloodymindedness - Jonathan Meades
Update: I've finally got round to watching the second programme on the Bonkers Bunkers tour. (Thanks for the encouraging comments about the first).
Meades starts part two by laying into Le Corbusier big time, and then defending his Unite d'Habitation in Marseilles as a springboard for architectural invention. As a model for social housing, however, it was often disastrous - he says because it was ineptly copied. The locals weren't keen, either, dubbing it La Maison du Fada - fada being a Provencal word meaning madman, apparently.
The programme includes a foray into the meaning of 'sublime' via Edmund Burke i.e. forces beyond human control, which can inspire overwhelming feelings of awe and terror. (Among the OED's many entries for this word is "That quality in nature or art which inspires awe, reverence, or other high emotion; the great beauty of grandeur of an object, place, etc." No mention of terror: but Meades quotes Burke thus: "Whatever is terrible with regard to sight is sublime." But I digress.)
In the UK the received wisdom ("Wisdom!" he splutters bitterly) has been not to appreciate the sublime aspects of Brutalist buildings but to prefer the cosy and comfortable. Meades, as you might guess, is not happy about this. A memorable scene has him in a tiger-striped onesie eating junk food while his voiceover intones that 50 years ago - when Brutalist buildings were being constructed in a spirit of optimism and as an "encouragement to betterment" - we did not wear children's clothes, eat their food or read their books. "The more they've been consulted as consumers, the more they've elected to be fed drivel!" he fumes.
In a passionate argument against the destruction of Brutalist buildings, Meades calls this "unreflective short-termism" and "legally sanctioned vandalism". He bemoans the culture that demands cosiness and comfort, that despises intellectual rigour and that is impatient "with anything that might be deemed difficult". The demolition of these buildings has also destroyed the embarrassing evidence of that optimistic age, the hope of which we have failed to live up to, he adds.
The programme ends with a look at the emergence of neo-Brutalist architecture and a series of photographers and artists who, by contrast, appreciate Brutalism (and by implication are not afflicted with the "defensive antagonism" that Meades says has sounded the death-knell for buildings such as the Tricorn and structures such as cooling towers. He thinks, by the way, that cooling towers enhance the landscape. Do you?)
And so the cycle of appreciation, demolition and conservation continues...

Re: Bonkers, Brutalism & Bloodymindedness - Jonathan Meades
I can appreciate the monumental and the brutalistic (I really like motorway flyovers) but the Tricorn Shopping Centre (which I saw in the flesh as it were) was just plain horrible. You can't keep everything. And no matter how you retrofit your nostalgia with concrete coloured glasses, and no matter how tastefully architectural photographers captured its many facets by raking sunlight, it was a horrible, cold, windy, dehumanising, depressing chasm. I wasn't saddened at all to see it go.
Cooling towers on the other hand are just brilliant! Long time ago I spent many a happy hour exploring a disused power station in Hull (I've still got some of the stuff I stole from it) and the echoes you can get standing in a cooling tower are just amazing. Far better than any cathedral I've ever been in. Mind you, that might have something to do with the fact that I've always felt constrained not to yell obscenities at the top of my lungs in a cathedral.

Re: Bonkers, Brutalism & Bloodymindedness - Jonathan Meades
Oh, yes, love a cooling tower (or several). Dad worked at West Burton power station in Notts, so they've always had a special fascination for me, but I love that silent power thing they give off. Driving past Ferrybridge the other week just made me remember it even more.
I think Daveybot is a big fan, too (unsurprisingly).

Re: Bonkers, Brutalism & Bloodymindedness - Jonathan Meades
Agreed, Junkmonkey. Admiring a cooling tower from afar (and I do) is rather different to negotiating the unwelcoming passageways of a deteriorating shopping centre, for example. I do think there's a particular case to be made for keeping cooling towers.
More than a decade ago I was in Nottingham's Castle gallery and admired a giant canvas featuring a couple of these structures so much I bought a postcard reproduction of it. It's now very much lost, and I wish I still had it. During a feeble attempt to search for it online I came across this cracker of a photo from the inside of one of the towers at the Ratcliffe power station:
By the way, it seems Didcot's towers will only be at home to admirers for a few more months: http://www.oxfordtimes.co.uk/news/he...ooling_towers/ Hope Mr. Meades goes along beforehand with his sunglasses and a placard or two.

I'm quite a fan ofJonathan Meades and of Brutalist archietecture.
I'm probably one of the few people in Palmerston North who likes our local town council building's ferocious concretey beauty:
Sorry about stretching the thread - can't seem to make it any smaller.
Rather unfairly, the collection I borrowed this image from is called 'ugly New Zealand.'

Re: Bonkers, Brutalism & Bloodymindedness - Jonathan Meades
Postscript: I have finally got round to hearing Jonathan Meades on Radio 3's Private Passions (available as a podcast) from which I learnt a few things:
- he LIVES in the Unite d'Habitation,
- he went to RADA (which perhaps explains why his TV programmes tend to be theatrical performances rather than mere presentations), and
- he has a memoir coming out in a few days' time called An Encyclopaedia of Myself.
Off to the library I go...

SHEPHERDSVILLE - The Bullitt County Public School Board will host its second public hearing on redistricting plans for the 2010-11 year.
The public hearing will be at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 29, at Bullitt Central High School auditorium. A sign-in list will be available for those wishing to speak.
The board will listen to comments about plans to redistrict students. Most of the discussion on this version will include schools in the central and eastern portion of the county.
The second open house for the Bullitt County Transportation Study will be held from 5-7 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 1, at the Shepherdsville Government Center on Conestoga Parkway.
The study is identifying community concerns and evaluating potential alternatives to improve mobility and safety in Bullitt County.
A steering committee, led by Bullitt County Judge Executive Melanie Roberts, KIPDA, District 5 of the state transportation cabinet and other community community leaders, is coordinating the study.
ENTRAN is the consultant for the project.
HILLVIEW - A committee has been formed to study whether alcohol sales on Sunday are a good thing or a bad thing.
Hillview mayor Jim Eadens said that councilmember Kim Whitlock would chair the group studying the request made recently by Thomas Philpot of Papa Borromeo's Pizza.
During the September meeting, Philpot said it wouldn't only help his business but others in the area.
Plus, there were several national chain restaurants looking at a 20,000 square foot space in the Brooks Plaza located on Brooks Hill Road at Interstate 65.
HILLVIEW - Property taxes will be dropping slightly for residents in the city of Hillview.
But the tangible personal tax rate will rise slightly for those businesses with inventory and equipment.
The Hillview City Council voted unanimously to lower its current tax rate of 12.07 cents per $100 of assessed real property to 11.45 cents.
For a property owner with a $100,000 home, that would mean taxes would go from $120.07 down to $114.50.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - During trying economic times the Bullitt County Chamber of Commerce offers its version of a two-for-one deal by combining two popular events.
This year the annual Health Expo will run in conjunction with Showcase Bullitt County on Thursday, Sept. 24, at Paroquet Springs Conference Centre.
Chamber director Kristie Walls said combining the two events was not only feasible for participants but aided booth vendors as well.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - A crossover accident led to two fatalities on Interstate 65 Wednesday morning.
According to Kentucky State Police Trooper Eric Hines, a maroon 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe was traveling southbound on I-65 around mile 120 when it crossed into northbound traffic.
The Hyundai collided with a red 2000 Oldsmobile Alero traveling in the left northbound lane. The incident occurred about 9:45 a.m.
The driver of the Alero, Ronald Gregory, 47, of Shepherdsville, and a passenger, Mildred Gregory, 74, of Shepherdsville, were pronounced dead at the scene.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - An individual has been indicted in the recent break-in at a church in western Bullitt County.
Jason C. Kays has been indicted by the Bullitt County Grand Jury on allegations that he broke into Sunnyside Baptist Church on June 11, 2009.
According to the indictment, Kays has been charged with burglary, theft by unlawful taking and being a persistent felony offender.
In June, Kays allegedly broke into the church and took items valued at over $300.
The crimes are Class D felonies punishable by 1-5 years in prison.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - Bullitt County Judge/Executive Melanie Roberts would like to have more than a person in charge of the planning and zoning agency.
She would like to have a county planner.
In fact, she has a committee that has been studying the possibilities and applications have already been taken.
There is one problem - there is no such job in the budget and Bullitt Fiscal Court members aren't quite ready to jump on board.
The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet Highway District 5 reports the following roadwork scheduled in Bullitt County for the week of September 18-26:
Bullitt County:
MOUNT WASHINGTON - A fatal shooting in Mount Washington could be the result of an attempted murder/suicide.
Emergency units were called to the scene before 5 p.m. at a residence in the 300 block of Choctaw Court, located in the Cedar Ridge Estates subdivision off of Waterford Road.
Christoper Heidenreich Jr., 36, was pronounced dead at the scene due to a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head, according to Bullitt County Chief Deputy Danny Thompson.

Blizzard has released another zone preview -- this time, it's the world PvP zone of Tol Barad, otherwise known as Cataclysm's Wintergrasp. Located off the coast of the Eastern Kingdoms, Tol Barad is a strategic point for both Alliance and Horde, making it a highly sought-after piece of property. Some highlights from the preview:
- Tol Barad is not only an open PvP zone; it's also a daily quest hub.
- Unlike Wintergrasp, Tol Barad won't have a Tenacity mechanic. Instead, players will be matched up at a 1:1 ratio, with a maximum of 80 players allowed in the zone.
- Much like Eye of the Storm, players will have to claim three keeps around the zone. Unlike Eye, if a player dies while defending a tower, that will directly affect the slider bar, moving it in favor of the opposing faction. So stay alive!
- Winning Tol Barad opens a raid, just like Wintergrasp. The Tol Barad raid takes place in Baradin Hold.
- And of course there are reputation rewards, including two brand new mounts with a ghostly look.
Check out the full post by Zarhym for more details, screenshots and information -- and check out our gallery of Tol Barad, below, for a closer look at the new zone.

New York/ Washington - Former International Monetary Fund (IMF) chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn will leave jail on bail on Friday under the shadow of sexual assault charges as another French official, Christine Lagarde, builds support to succeed him.Strauss-Kahn, a global high-flier seen as having a strong shot at the French presidency until his arrest over the weekend, spent the last of four nights at New York's notorious Rikers Island jail on Thursday.The package of conditions set by a judge on Thursday to let him leave jail - $1m cash bail, a $5m insurance bond and house arrest at a New York apartment under armed guard and electronic monitoring - was due to be signed on Friday.In his letter resigning as the IMF chief, Strauss-Kahn vowed to fight charges he tried to rape a hotel maid and committed other sexual offenses against her.Once out of the Rikers cell and in the apartment, he will have unlimited access to his lawyers to prepare his defence and will be joined by his wife and daughter.Strauss-Kahn's resignation intensified a race for global finance's top job at a critical time for the IMF as it helps euro zone states such as Greece, Ireland and Portugal deal with massive debt problems.Europe could retain postThe managing director post has traditionally gone to a European for 65 years but is now in the sights of fast-growing developing economies who argue it is time for a change.John Lipsky, the IMF's American No 2 who is now the acting chief, said on Thursday members agreed "the process of selection of the managing director should be open, transparent and merit-based".But a sense of inevitability was growing that Europe would retain the post. Lagarde, France's finance minister, was seen as the most likely choice.While US Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner called for an "open process that leads to a prompt succession", sources in Washington said the United States, the IMF's biggest financial contributor, would back a European.The issue will probably be discussed at a summit of Group of Eight leaders in France next week. Together, the United States and European nations hold more than half of the IMF's voting power, giving them a big say over who leads it.The IMF board was due to hold a regular meeting on Friday to approve its part of a €78bn bailout for Portugal but it was unclear whether it would discuss the process for choosing a new managing director.Maid's 'unwavering' storyThe case marks a spectacular fall for Strauss-Kahn, who was highly regarded for his part in tackling the global financial crisis of 2007-09 and the key role he was playing in efforts to manage Europe's debt crisis.His lawyer Benjamin Brafman said at a hearing on Monday the evidence "will not be consistent with a forcible encounter".But prosecutor John McConnell said the maid who accuses Strauss-Kahn of trying to rape her, a 32-year-old immigrant from Guinea, had told a "compelling and unwavering story".An arraignment hearing is set for June 6, when Strauss-Kahn will formally answer the charges, but a trial may be six months or more away. If convicted, he could face 25 years in prison."I deny with the greatest possible firmness all of the allegations that have been made against me," Strauss-Kahn wrote in his resignation letter.A Reuters poll of economists showed 32 of 56 thought Lagarde was most likely to succeed Strauss-Kahn.Lagarde declined to say whether she was interested in the post but told reporters: "Any candidacy, whichever it is, must come from Europeans jointly, all together."Under scrutinyA head of the US law firm Baker & McKenzie in Chicago before she joined the French government in 2005, Lagarde is a fluent English speaker and has experience balancing the demands of rich and developing countries.But she is also under scrutiny.Judges at a special French court are expected to decide in mid-June whether to order an inquiry after a public prosecutor recommended Lagarde be investigated over an arbitration case involving businessman and former politician Bernard Tapie.The prime ministers of Italy and Luxembourg publicly backed Lagarde on Thursday. Diplomats in Europe and Washington said she also had support from France, Germany and Britain - the three biggest European economies.China and Japan called for a transparent process to choose a successor on merit.Russia and other ex-Soviet states backed the Kazakh central bank chief, Grigory Marchenko. Another possible candidate could be former Turkish Economy Minister Kemal Dervis, an economist with IMF experience.But it was not clear whether emerging countries could unite behind a rival candidate.
I rest my case :
A 2010 book entitled Dsk : Les secrets d'un présidentiable (DSK:Secrets of a presidential contender) by an anonymous French author who goes by the pseudonym "Cassandre", alleges that IMF head and accused rapist Dominique Strauss-Kahn raped a maid in a hotel in Mexico while on a business trip. According to records, Strauss-Kahn took a trip there in 2006 and again in 2010. The book, which came out almost exactly one year ago, caused a huge scandal in France as Strauss-Kahn is thought to be the country's leading contender to unseat current President Nicolas Sarkozy. Now that DSK stands accused of raping a hotel maid in New York City, the book is again climbing up the sales charts in France.
"Cassandre" whose editor was interviewed in French tabloid Voici, claims to be a woman in DSK's most intimate political circle. Her identity has not been revealed.
According to Cassandre, the assault case in Mexico was never pursued
If he wasn't so high profile these extreme bail conditions would not apply - an armed guard! Seriously OTT. Yes he should be punished but Joe Soap would not have been paraded around like a prize exhibit and would not have been subjected to such humiliating treatment. Innocent until proven guilty? Not a concept that applies in this case!
High-profile people are hungry for the fame, but are not prepared to clean up their acts while they hold the posts for which they are paid millions. Perverts do better when they have no image to uphold, and nothing to lose by their actions other than human-rights consequences.
If people want to be seen as leaders, then they set the bar high up all by themselves, and need to be in line in all their actions. Horses for courses.
In discussing the presumption of innocence, we often forget that there are in fact two varieties: The first is a legal presumption of innocence, to which Strauss-Kahn, like everyone accused of a crime, is entitled; the second is a social presumption of innocence, which often results in the miscarriage of justice before the formal system has even been engaged. This social presumption of innocence is what leads some to convince themselves that the behavior they have witnessed or that they are aware of did not really take place, or means something different, because a person like Strauss-Kahn can not be capable of such a thing.
Some would say "What a coincidence..."...Methinks more likely a HABITUAL egotistical, narcisstic OFFENDER thats preys on VUNERABLE women from THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES.
He must chat with JZ who can give him advise as to how he can get off these charges. JZ is an expert on "porking" maids, and he's now the president
You may be right...but I think DSK can show JZ a whole lot more. Let's see whether DSK buys off the accuser(how do they say...settles), causes the accuser to disappear or just hires a private jet and flies out of the USA using his high profile associates.
