|Additional details:
On March 7, 1997, about 1411 Alaska standard time, the pilot of an experimental homebuilt Buesing SX-300 airplane, N357SX, declared an emergency and ditched in the ocean about 5 miles south of Sitka, Alaska. The airplane was being operated as an instrument flight rules (IFR) cross-country personal flight to Soldotna, Alaska, when the accident occurred. The airplane, registered to and operated by the pilot, was destroyed. The certificated private pilot, and the sole passenger received fatal injuries. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed. An IFR flight plan was filed. The accident flight originated at the Ketchikan International airport, Ketchikan, Alaska, at 1310.
At 1211, the pilot obtained a weather briefing at the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) Ketchikan Flight Service Station (FSS), as part of his continuing flight from Colorado Springs, Colorado, to Soldotna, Alaska. The pilot filed an IFR flight plan with the intended route from Ketchikan as; Annette VOR, Victor Airway 311 to the Biorka VOR, Victor 440 to the Yakutat VOR, Victor 319 to the Johnstone Point VOR, then direct to Soldotna.
After departure from Ketchikan, the pilot contacted the FAA's Anchorage Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC). The airplane climbed to 14,000 feet mean sea level (msl), and proceeded along Victor 311 toward the northwest. At 1406:00, the pilot declared an emergency by stating: "Ah center, this is experimental 7SX, I got ah loss of power on the engine, I need to land." The pilot was initially given a clearance to the Sitka Airport via the LDA/DME approach to runway 11. The pilot then requested a heading straight to Sitka, stating he was not going to be able to maintain altitude very well. The controller provided instructions to fly a heading of 280 degrees and maintain 5,000 feet.
At 1406:47, the pilot inquired about his distance from the Sitka Airport. The ARTCC controller indicated the airplane was 13 miles from the airport, and asked the pilot to confirm the airplane had no power. The pilot replied, "nah, very low power." At 1407:34, the controller inquired about the flight conditions. The pilot replied, "I'm in the clear." At 1407:54, the controller provided the pilot with the current weather conditions at Sitka, which included a ceiling of 2,000 feet overcast conditions. At 1408:19, the pilot reported, "Ah kay, we're at 6,500, I don't think we're going to make it."
The ARTCC controller provided a suggested heading to the Sitka Airport of 340 degrees, below the minimum enroute altitude (MIA), and began providing terrain elevations for the area. At 1408:57, the pilot reported, "I'm passing through five (unintelligible) five thousand, and I, um, I'm going down at about 2,000 foot a minute."
At 1409:48, the ARTCC controller suggested a heading of 360 degrees, stating it would keep the airplane over water, all the way to the Sitka Airport, which was 8 miles away. The controller inquired if the airplane, at its present rate of descent, could make the 8 miles. The pilot replied that he did not think so. At 1411:07, the controller advised the pilot, "And ah NSX, radar contact is lost, say flight conditions." The pilot replied, "We're in the clear." The controller suggested a heading of 350 degrees, and indicated it was 6 miles to go from the last known position. The controller also inquired about the airplane's altitude. The pilot replied, "We're at 1,300 feet."
The controller inquired if the pilot could see the water and/or land. The pilot replied to the affirmative. At 1411:42, the controller inquired, "N7SX, you going to ditch in the water or do you think you can make the land." The pilot replied at 1411:45, "Ah ditch in the water if I have to ditch." At 1411:54, an unknown voice was heard on the radio frequency, saying: "Check your crossfeeds, check your cross fuel crossfeeds." There was no further radio contact with the pilot.
The accident occurred during the hours of daylight at latitude 56 degrees, 58.79 minutes north, and longitude 135 degrees, 23.11 minutes west.
The pilot held a private pilot certificate with airplane single-engine land, and instrument airplane ratings. In addition, the pilot held a repairman certificate, with an experimental aircraft builder rating, for the accident airplane. The most recent third-class medical certificate was issued to the pilot on November 11, 1996, and contained the limitation that the pilot must wear corrective lenses.
No personal flight records were located for the pilot. The aeronautical experience listed on page 3 of this report, was obtained from the NTSB form 6120.1/2 submitted by the pilot's spouse, and from an application for aircraft insurance, dated April 9, 1996.
The airplane and engine both accumulated a total time in service of 1020.62 hours. Examination of the maintenance records revealed that the most recent inspection was accomplished on August 31, 1996, 43.15 hours before the accident.
Fueling records at Ketchikan, Alaska, established that the aircraft was last fueled on the accident date with the addition of 62.3 gallons of 100LL octane aviation fuel.
The airplane is a high performance, single-engine, home built airplane. The normal operating speed for the airplane is between 92 and 249 knots indicated airspeed. The maximum airspeed limitation is 280 knots. At gross weight, the airplane's power off stall speed is 82 knots. With full flaps, the stall speed is 72 knots. The airplane was approved for day and night VFR operations, and day and night IFR operations. It was not approved for flight into known icing conditions.
The airplane is equipped with a 300 horsepower, fuel injected, non-turbocharged engine. The airplane's pilot operating handbook (POH), Section VII, Systems Descriptions, 7.5 Induction System, states, in part: "Air for the engine induction system is available from two sources, the ram-air inlet located below the spinner on the front of the cowling or the alternate air source from inside the cowling. The ram air inlet lets unfiltered air directly into the engine induction system, whereas the alternate air provides warm, filtered air. The door position controlling the source of the inlet air is selected manually with a lever that is located on the control quadrant. The alternate air control should be in the HOT position when filtered, warm air is required - such as during takeoff or landing, when flying in dusty air, or when in conditions where inlet icing could be expected (visual moisture and temperatures of 40 degrees F or below). Otherwise, it should be the RAM position."
The accident airplane's ram/alternate air control is controlled by a lever on the engine control quadrant. The pilot labeled the ram air position as "OPEN", and the alternate air position as "CLOSED."
Section III, Emergency Procedures, 3.11 Engine Power Loss in Flight, of the POH, states, in part: "An airspeed of at least 125 knots should always be maintained. Altitude permitting, switch the fuel selector to another tank containing fuel and turn the electric fuel pump ON. Move the mixture control to RICH and the alternate air to HOT."
The designer of the airplane reported the airplane's rate of climb data, contained in Section V of the POH, established performance figures at 130 knots. He utilized the performance data to calculate the airplane's anticipated descent rate at 130 knots, and the airplane's glide ratio, also at 130 knots. The designer indicated at 130 knots, the airplane would descend at 1,256.2 feet per minute. The glide ratio, at 130 knots and the landing gear retracted, would be 10.41 to 1.
The cockpit area is enclosed by a canopy that is hinged along the upper edge of the firewall. The canopy is retained in the closed position by two latches located adjacent to each seat. The mating surface between the canopy and fuselage is equipped with an inflatable seal.
The closest official weather observation station is Sitka. On March 7, 1997, at 1353, an Aviation Routine Weather Report (METAR) was reporting in part: Wind, 100 degrees (true) at 4 knots; visibility, 10 statute miles; clouds, few at 1,200 feet, 2,000 feet overcast; temperature, 02 degrees C; dew point, 02 degrees C; altimeter, 29.57 inHg; remarks, unknown pellets began at 1326, ended at 1328, snow ended at 1326.
During the accident airplane's emergency descent, an Anchorage ARTCC controller contacted Sitka, Alaska, FSS personnel to obtain the local weather conditions. The Sitka FSS controller commented that the area around the airport consisted of a solid overcast; however, the weather conditions appeared better to the south of the airport, with areas of sunlight appearing through the overcast.
Search personnel in Sitka, Alaska, reported areas of isolated rain and snow showers under overcast sky conditions.
During the pilot's weather briefing at the Ketchikan FSS, the briefer reported he provided the pilot with a full route briefing, current weather conditions, area forecast, AIRMETs, NOTAMs, winds aloft, and pilot reports along the route.
The area forecast for Sitka, issued on March 7, 1997, at 1019, and valid until March 8, 1997, at 0900, stated, in part: "Wind, 170 degrees at 6 knots; visibility, greater than 6 miles in light snow showers; clouds, 1,500 feet scattered, 2,500 feet broken. Temporary conditions from 1000 to 2300: Visibility, 3 miles in light snow showers and mist; clouds, 800 feet scattered, 1,500 feet broken, 2,500 feet overcast. From 2300: Wind, 240 degrees at 7 knots; visibility, greater than 6 miles in light snow showers; clouds, 1,500 feet scattered, 2,500 feet broken. Temporary conditions from 2300 to March 8, 1997, at 0900: Visibility, 5 miles in light snow showers; clouds, 1,000 feet scattered, 1,500 feet broken, 2,500 feet overcast."
An Airmet for IFR conditions and mountain obscuration, issued on March 7, 1997, at 1145, for southeast Alaska coastal waters, and valid until March 8, 1997, at 0000, stated, in part: "Temporary ceilings below 1,000 feet, visibility below 3 statute miles with light snow, and ice pellet showers. No change. Otherwise, scattered clouds at 1,500 feet, broken clouds at 4,000 feet, and 8,000 feet. Layers above. Tops at 24,000 feet. Temporary conditions of broken clouds at 1,500 feet, visibility 3 statute miles in light rain, ice pellets, and snow showers. After 1500, surface winds from the southwest, gusting to 25 knots. Outlook, valid from March 8, 1997, at 0000 to 1800, marginal VFR conditions with ceilings due to rain, and snow showers. Turbulence: Isolated moderate turbulence below 6,000 feet. Icing: Light, with temporary moderate mixed icing in clouds and in precipitation, 1,000 to 12,000 feet. Freezing level: 1,000 feet. No change."
When the pilot was taxiing for takeoff from Ketchikan at 1307:52, a Ketchikan FSS specialist informed the pilot of an in-flight weather advisory received at 1301 from the crew of a Boeing 737 airplane. The pilot report (PIREP), indicated that during descent, the Boeing airplane encountered a trace of ice, and the sky condition was 17,000 feet overcast.
A National Transportation Safety Board, senior meteorologist, conducted an examination of the weather conditions around the accident scene. Between Ketchikan and Sitka, at 1400, infrared temperature data revealed that radiative temperatures ranged from about -12 to -47 degrees C. During the previous 25 nautical miles prior to the airplane's position at 1406 along V311, radiative temperatures ranged from -39 to -45 degrees C.
Winds and temperatures aloft are recorded at radiosonde locations around the area. The 1500 upper air data from Annette Island, Alaska, located 175 miles southeast of the accident site, was recording, in part: At 14,002 feet, temperature, -28.4 degrees C; dew point temperature,-32.3 degrees C; humidity, 81 percent.
The 1500 upper air data from Yakutat, Alaska, located 198 miles northwest of the accident site, was recording, in part: At 14,002 feet, temperature, -31 degrees C; dew point temperature,-38.4 degrees C; humidity, 69 percent.
A transcript of the air to ground communications between the airplane and all involved FAA ATC facilities is included in this report.
Continuous Data Reduction (CDR) radar data from Anchorage ARTCC, was reviewed by National Transportation Safety Board investigators to determine the flight track of the accident airplane. During the last 11 minutes of the flight, the radar data revealed the accident airplane was proceeding along V311 at altitudes between 14,000 to 14,200 feet msl. The CDR data was recorded every 12 seconds. At 1405:03, the altitude was recorded at 14,000 feet. The airplane was about 19 miles south of Sitka. At 1405:15, the airplane's altitude had dropped to 12,700 feet and thereafter, continued to descend. When the pilot declared an emergency at 1406:00, the airplane was descending between 10,700 and 10,000 feet, and was about 15 miles south of Sitka.
A copy of the radar data is included in this report.
The National Transportation Safety Board investigator-in-charge (IIC) examined the airplane wreckage in Sitka, Alaska, on March 14, 1997, after the airplane was recovered from the ocean. The airplane was observed in a hanger, resting upright, on its landing gear.
All of the airplane's major components remained attached to the airplane. The right wing exhibited an upward bend and chordwise buckling of about 15 degrees, about 4 feet inboard from the tip. The right wing tip fairing was missing. The wing was crushed upward and aft along the lower surface of the leading edge, from the inboard attach point, to the point of chordwise bending. The wing had several tears, exposing the interior, wet wing tank, portion of the wing.
The left wing was crushed upward along the underside of the leading edge. The wing was bent upward about 30 degrees, about 4 feet inboard from the tip. The wing tip fairing was missing. The pitot tube, mounted on the underside of the wing, was bent inboard about 45 degrees. Tears in the wing structure exposed the interior portion of the wing fuel tank.
The fuselage displayed upward crushing on the underside of the cockpit area. Additional upward buckling of the underside of the fuselage was noted from the forward edge of the vertical stabilizer, extending in an aft direction. The outboard fairing of the left horizontal stabilizer was missing. A tail cone fairing, normally attached to the fuselage between the horizontal stabilizers, was missing.
The flight control surfaces remained connected to their respective attach points. The flaps remained attached to their respective wings, and appeared retracted. The continuity of the flight control cables was established to the cockpit area.
The instrument panel was buckled along the lower, right edge of the pilot seat position, in an aft direction. The alternate air control was found in the "OPEN" (RAM) position.
The three bladed propeller assembly remained connected to the engine crankshaft. All of the blades were loose in the hub and exhibited aft bending of about 30 degrees, about mid-span. The forward nose of the propeller spinner appeared undamaged.
The engine cowling sustained impact damage to the underside portion of the assembly. The crankshaft could be rotated by the propeller. Gear and valve train continuity was established, and thumb compression in each cylinder was noted, when the crankshaft was rotated by hand. The oil filter was free of contaminants.
The alternate air box, normally attached to the forward portion of the engine induction fuel servo, was observed hanging below the engine. It was connected to the alternate air cable. The alternate air door was observed in the open, ram air position.
The magnetos did not produce spark upon hand rotation. The interior of the magnetos was extensively damaged by salt water corrosion. The bottom, fine wire sparks plugs, were coated with water and oil.
An auxiliary fuel tank was installed behind the two cockpit seats. The capacity was estimated about 10

Here's a look at today's news:
Work started on the Gatton's Park last Thursday. The funding for this project is a result of approval for a Collaborative Forest Restoration Program Grant being administered by the Grant Soil and Water District. The Wildland Urban Interface treatment was selected to reduce fire risk and enable landscape-scale fire restoration on Upper Mimbres planning area of the Gila National Forest. The work has begun on thinning 40 acres adjacent to private property. A part of the operation includes chipping small trees and limbs. The chips from this project are being transported to the junction of the Celebration Site Road and State Highway 35 and are free to the public for personal use under the following conditions: Chips must be collected during daylight hours on Friday, Saturday or Sunday; a tarp must be used when transporting on state and county roads; and residents must be able to load and transport their own chips.
Today was American Indian Day at the Roundhouse. The 2018 American Indian Day at the Legislature included recognition of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo (which was signed on February 2nd, 1848), and a presentation from New Mexico's Tribes and Pueblos on the House Floor. Special performances of the "Butterfly Dance" were provided by Kha'p'o Community School Kindergarten students in addition to the Youth Hoop Dancers from the Pueblo of Pojoaque.
The "Kids Need to Read" program will be arriving at the Marshall Memorial Library in Deming with "Grow Your Library", an inspiring library donation program led by KNTR Board Members, Gary Mlodzik and his wife Tina.

The fifteenth national "Grow Your Library" event will be visiting Marshall Memorial Library at 10:30 A.M. on Friday, March 23rd, with a donation of 300 new books to the library, valued at $3,166, and a special story time presentation for children. Each child in attendance will receive a free book and Highlights magazine courtesy of KNTR. They will also learn how they can use their own love of reading to help the Anthony Public Library earn even more free books in the future. The "Kids Need to Read" program was created by a passion to improve the lives of disadvantaged children by providing inspiring book collections and engaging literacy programs to underfunded schools, libraries, and organizations across the nation.
The tradition, known as "Groundhog Day" continued today in Gobbler's Knob, Pennsylvania. Members of the "Inner Circle of the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club" gathered to witness the groundhog, known as "Punxsutawney Phil", emerge from his hibernation to see his shadow, which predicts six more weeks of winter. This tradition began in Europe as Candlemas Day, a Christian holiday involving candles. Germans brought this custom to Pennsylvania in the 1700's. More than a dozen states celebrate this day with their own groundhogs that include Ohio's "Buckeye Chuck" and Georgia's "General Beauregard Lee."

Hurricane Hanna is dropping its final few drops of rain as I type. Despite the storm outside, good news is sitting here by my keyboard. Today's mail brought notice that I've had two of my pastel paintings juried into the 12th Biennial National Exhibition, sponsored by the Degas Pastel Society and held at the Lauren Rogers Museum of Art, in Laurel, Mississippi. My works accepted into this prestigious show are "Late Afternoon Surf (Bass Rocks)" (right) and "April Surf Along Marginal Way" (below left) It's interesting to have two works depicting the rocky coasts and surf of New England accepted into a show in the deep south.
Approximately 107 of the top pastel artists working today submitted work for the exhibition of which 80 paintings were accepted. Having two juried into the show makes it that much sweeter for yours truly. This has always been a top notch exhibition, held at some of the finest visual art venues in the south, and I am fortunate and grateful to have my work as part of the exhibition.
Though the majority of you who reads this blog live in the northeast, if you happening to be traveling on business or please be sure to make a trip to view the show! The exhibition opens on October 7, 2008 and runs through to the 15th of November. An artists' reception is scheduled for October 11th, with times TBA.
The Degas Pastel Society was founded in 1983, and is one of the most respected pastel societies in the United States. The Society is aptly named in honor of Edgar Degas, (1834-1917), the artist most widely recognized for transforming pastel from a sketching tool into a major artistic medium. Pastel painting blossomed with his touch and his works have inspired countless artists.
Thanks for listening, and see you out "Painting the Soul of America"

UNIONDALE, N.Y. — After the Kings trailed the New York Islanders for most of the night, Jack Johnson gave them a win with one shot in the shootout.
Johnson scored the only goal of the shootout in the final round as the Kings beat the Islanders, 4-3, on Tuesday night.
Johnson faked a forehand and got Yann Danis to move before he slipped in a back-handed shot to give the Kings their fourth victory in a row.
"He made a pretty good move," Danis said. "I tried to stack my pads, and somehow, it squeezed through."
Wayne Simmonds, Anze Kopitar and Alexander Frolov scored for the Kings. Jonathan Quick, who started his eight consecutive game, turned aside 22 shots.

"I heartily recommend Marsha Haller to my patients, colleagues and friends for her comprehensive, thoughtful care. In addition to her exhaustive medical knowledge and her training in acupuncture, her ability to identify muscular dysfunction is remarkable. I am so grateful to be able to work with her for the mutual benefit of our patients."
Amy Selinger, PT, DPT, OCS Oakland and San Francisco, CA
For 15 years I went from specialist to specialist for treatment of chronic pain in my shoulder and neck. Then I met Marsha Haller. She is the only doctor who has been able to successfully treat my condition. She is a kind, patient, and delightful person who I look forward to seeing during my treatments. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs assistance with pain management.
Joyce B, Orinda, CA
I've dealt with male pelvic pain for the past 18 years and have tried a variety of treatments. Dr. Haller's techniques have been phenomenally effective. I'm actually pain-free much of the time now, and when I do have a flare-up, it's much less severe than in the past, and the pain also subsides a lot more quickly. Dr. Haller is one of the most patient, understanding physicians I have met, and as if the relief from pelvic pain weren't enough, she even helped me crack another tough, totally unrelated medical issue I was dealing with — just through casual conversation during a treatment session.
Paul M.
San Francisco
"Dr. Haller has been an excellent resource for our patients suffering from chronic pelvic pain. She does a thorough evaluation and offers our patients a range of treatments involving eastern and western medicine that other physicians cannot offer. I value her skills, knowledge, and willingness to work as part of a multi-disciplinary team."
Stephanie A. Prendergast, MPT
Partner, Pelvic Health and Rehabilitation Center
Dr. Haller is one of the country's top two specialists for myofascial release with acupuncture needles. She has helped me regain a high degree of muscle strength and mobility, with decreasing pain and continuing improvement after every visit! A naturally self-effacing person, Dr. Haller also has a degree of warmth and compassion that is not always seen in medicine. Her techniques are useful for sports injuries, auto accidents, and age / posture related dystonia, among other conditions. I would definitely recommend a consultation with Marsha Haller."
Michael Emery
Director, New Product Planning
Jazz Pharmaceuticals
Though athletic and relatively fit, I've suffered with stuck hip flexors, an aching lower back, and what I thought was some kind of pinched nerve in my upper back for years…But my first visit to Dr. Marsha Haller resolved my worst lumbar issue immediately. My chronic muscle pains and numbness subsides with every visit. Thanks to Dr. Haller, I feel my body returning to the limber, relaxed state it enjoyed before these injuries took their toll.
Kathleen W.
El Cerrito, CA
"Dr. Haller brings a medical doctor's perspective to acupuncture, able to understand health and illness from multiple viewpoints, ensuring that her treatments are thorough and appropriate. She is a truly compassionate healer, using acupuncture and Chinese herbal treatments to help her patients in situations where others have failed. She is a treasure in today's medical environment!"

Australia 2030: Prosperity through Innovation – summary of ISA 2030 plan
7th February, 2018
The Australian Government tasked Innovation and Science Australia (ISA) with developing a strategic plan for the Australian innovation, science and research system out to 2030.
In January 2018, ISA delivered the report 'Australia 2030: Prosperity through Innovation'. The report aims to contribute to the wellbeing and prosperity of all Australians by strengthening Australia's innovation performance to become a leading innovation nation.
The report includes a total of 30 recommendations to the Federal Government in five key areas – Education, Industry, Government, Research and Development and Culture and Ambition.
AAMRI welcomed the release of the report and is pleased to see that the recommendations it made in its submission to the report on access to international talent, gender equity in science, and improving research training collaboration opportunities between research organisations and industry.
The following recommendations are of particular relevance to the medical research sector:
- Establish a "National Mission" for Genomics and Precision Medicine to help make Australia the healthiest nation
- Strengthen efforts in talent attraction from overseas through continually improving and updating skilled migration rules marketing to suitable talent, especially through Austrade
- Increase commercialisation capability in research organisations by establishing a new stream of funding for translational activities
- Establish secure, long-term funding for national research infrastructure
Invest in developing a more effective framework to evaluate the performance of Australia's innovation programs, including introducing a requirement that new government funding programs aimed at supporting innovation will dedicate 2 per cent of their budget for the evaluation of outcome
- Support the development of innovation metrics and methodologies to fully capture innovation and link it to economic, social and environmental benefits. In particular, request the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) and the Department of Innovation to review business and research and development data collections to ensure they are fit for purpose; and commission an independent body to review existing innovation metrics.
- Evaluate the impact in 2022 of recent changes to incentivise collaboration, covering funding changes, progress on addressing the findings and recommendations of the Review of Australia's Researching Training System, and progress on ensuring that university career paths allow for flexibility between industry and academia
- Reverse the current decline in business expenditure on R&D by:
- improving government support for science, research and innovation
- ensuring the minimum government support for science, research and innovation remains above its medium-term average of 0.63 per cent of gross domestic product
- implementing the recommendations of the 2016 Review of the R&D Tax Incentive with some adjustments ($4m per year cap, $40m lifetime cap per company; trigger of 1% total annual expenditure before claiming).
- Introduce an industry tax offset of up to 20 per cent to incentivise collaboration between research organisations and industry
- Enhance efforts to help SMEs access export markets by increasing funding for Export Market Development Grants
- Encourage investors to pursue opportunities that provide social and economic returns by strengthening the existing policy environment
- Improve provision and use of open government data by developing government capability and capacity to deliver accessible, accurate and detailed public data
- Evaluate the benefits of scaling-up higher degree training in industry through research placement program

She is additionally sweet because all heck plus because timid because a bottle rocket, meaning not timid inside the smallest. We snuck into the stadium where UCLA baseball plays. Next you took to the streets plus I showed Karla a rich person's desert landscaping which caught my eye inside the neighborhood.

Fabspeed's Porsche 911 (991.2) GT2 RS performance part suite - ECU tune, Sport cats, Cay bypass pipes, X-pipe, Competition cats, Competition bypass pipesPublished on 02-12-2019 09:04 PM
You likely saw the article last week showing Fabspeed hitting an impressive 758 rear wheel horsepower on the dyno with their 991.2 GT2 RS project car. Well, the parts necessary to get there are now officially released and Fabspeed has a suite of parts for your GT2 RS depending on your goals. ...Published on 02-11-2019 08:21 PM
Yes, the McLaren 720S is the current champion slaying everything in sight including the Porsche 911 GT2 RS. You may have noticed a handful of GT2 RS 991.2's being tuned recently showing some very impressive gains. ...Published on 02-11-2019 07:53 PM
TTE (The Turbo Engineers Germany) announced they have a VTG (variable turbine geometry) turbocharger upgrade for the 2.5 liter 9A2B4 four-cylinder turbo motor utilized in the 718 Cayman and Boxster S and GTS models. ...Published on 02-10-2019 06:52 PM
You should be familiar with this McLaren 720S which is stock and it put up some impressive numbers on Toyo R888R's on the dragstrip. It runs a VTG upgraded 991.1 Turbo S as well as a yellow ES850 upgraded 991.1 Turbo S which recently set the 1/2 mile stock internal 991 Turbo record. ...Published on 02-09-2019 06:53 PM
Just in case you need more evidence that the 720S is absurdly fast he is a real world pull against what is a quick car in the form of a 911 GT3. The GT3 is naturally aspirated and not a straightline racer. It can hold its own on the roadcourse though even against the mighty 720S. ...Published on 02-08-2019 10:33 PM
This seems like clickbait from Automobile who is known to put out unsubstantiated articles. We know naturally aspirated flat-6 power is coming to the 982 chassis. This will be in the form of a 3.8 liter flat-6 that is likely a GT3 derivative as Porsche does not produce any other naturally aspirated flat-6 architecture currently. ...Published on 02-08-2019 08:17 PM
Considering the output of 991.2's and what they are running on the strip the axles will become a concern sooner or later. DSS (Drive Shaft Shop) has a solution for 991.2 and 992 models with their Level 5 axles capable of 1000+ horsepower. ...Published on 02-08-2019 06:32 PM
You may recall a PorscheBoost article from a couple weeks back showing Fabspeed working on a 991.2 GT2 RS and developing a race exhaust. This race exhaust does not have catalytic converters or valves. It is all business and sounds amazing. ...Published on 02-08-2019 05:43 PM
Remember California Assembly Bill 1824? As a refresher, if a Police Officer thinks your exhaust is too loud you get a mandatory $1000 ticket instead of the old fix it ticket. Well, you are not the only one who thinks the policy is just a government overreach to grab cash. ...
2015 Porsche 991.1 Turbo S with Tial Sport 68mm VTG's runs 9.5@145 1/4 mile and hits 0-60 in 2.2 secondsPublished on 02-05-2019 07:03 PM
Just another solid result for Tial Sport's 68mm VTG turbocharger upgrade on the 991 Turbo 3.8 platform. This is a 2015 Turbo S from Puerto Rico and the 1/4 mile timeslip is backed up with GPS timed results as well. ...Published on 02-05-2019 05:01 PM
Many sites are posting this information based off a rumor but considering Porsche already put this motor into multiple 718 Chassis' themselves it is an easy rumor to bank on. Odds are we will see both a 718 Cayman GT4 and Boxster Spyder with a 3.8 liter detuned GT3 flat-6 derivative. ...Published on 02-02-2019 10:11 PM
This year's list is a couple of weeks late but this actually turned out to be a blessing in disguise with some major automotive performance debuts and achievements taking place just in time to sneak onto the list. Feel free to check out last year's best and worst of automotive performance list. ...
What the AIM Performance record stock internal 991 Turbo 1/2 mile pull looked like from inside the carPublished on 02-01-2019 05:02 PM
As you know AIM Performance set a new 991 Turbo standing 1/2 mile record with an ES850 kit tuned by @Emre@Esmotor. It certainly is an impressive result for a stock internal 3.8 Porsche flat-6 on the factory stock PDK transmission and the stock fuel system. ...Published on 01-30-2019 08:26 PM
This is a bold claim to make with literally zero proof to accompany it. That is why PorscheBoost is calling the claim out because no VTG (Variable Turbine Geometry) turbo upgrade produces over 1000 horsepower. The closest example would be the Tial VTG upgrade PorscheBoost member @Markblackwell is running. ...
EVO Car of the Year 2018 - Alpine A110, BMW M2 Competition, Ferrari 488 Pista, Ford Fiesta ST, McLaren 600LT, Porsche 911 GT2 RS, Renault Mégane RS, VW Up GTIPublished on 01-29-2019 03:06 PM
You could say this is an interesting field but truly there are only a few standouts. Of the eight cars, does anyone really feel the Ford Fiesta ST or Volkswagen Up GTI really have a chance? Especially when cars like the 488 Pista, 991.2 GT2 RS, and McLaren 600 LT are included? ...

Lucy here. I'm the Hull-House Museum's summer intern, here through funding from Smith College. Lisa Junkin gave me the special task of creating an entry for the famous Hull-House blog on whatever my heart desires! I figured I would report on developments in the room I've spent the most time in–the new library area.
The museum is looking so incredible these days, it makes me wish I weren't going home before the September opening. Although I never saw the old exhibit in place, on my first day Lisa Lee took me on a quick tour of the mansion. This was after only one of the rooms had been painted and absolutely nothing of the new exhibition was in place.
At the end, we stopped by a room on the first floor, once a dining room for residents. When I think about that room I saw on my first day, I think ugly curtains hiding otherwise beautiful bottle-glass windows, I think peeling wall paper, I think, ugh!
But nowadays, our library area couldn't be more incredible.
Glorious, historically accurate terracotta paint! Exquisite furnishings! Spectacular artwork! A couple of exhibits completed by a certain lucky intern!
It's no surprise that I chose this room in particular to write about. For one thing, a lot of essential elements of the exhibit are in place, so it's easy to imagine how it will look. But also, this is where two of my main projects of the summer will live. One is a globe that demonstrates Jane Addams' world travels. Did you know that Addams went to Europe nine times throughout her life in addition to traveling to Egypt, India, The Philippines, Mexico, China, and Japan?
The other exhibit I've been working on is called the bookshelf project. It's pretty neat—one shelf will display books from Addams' personal collection (those will be behind glass). The other shelves will be filled with about 45 books that are written by reformers, residents, and other figures with a connection to Hull-House. I loved researching for this exhibit. I learned about John Dewey and pragmatism, the Pullman Strike, WILPF, suffrage, and much, much more.
For each book, I composed a bookmark that points out interesting pages or passages, gives background information, and explains the book's connection to Hull-House.Visitors will be able to pick these books off the shelves, (hopefully read the informative bookmark!) and flip through the pages to get an idea of the wide array of subjects connected to Hull-House and Addams.
Reading was central to Addams. Not only was she the author of many books and speeches, she knew that books had the power to inspire and change. In my research for the exhibit I came across an anecdote from Louise deKoven Bowen about Jane Addams' dedication to reading. When Addams was notified that the ambulance was late to take her to the last operation she had before she died she replied, "That's all right, for that will give me time to finish the book I am reading."
All of the formatting is done and now we just need to print them out and put them in their books. Many of the furnishings are in place, and the art work (all completed by artists connected to Hull-House) is up on the walls. Very exciting stuff!
As today is my last day, I know I'll be spending more time in this room figuring out finishing touches for the bookshelf. I hope I'll have a chance to sit in the rocking chair and take in the space one more time. More importantly, I hope that in a few weeks visitors will stop by this room to reflect and discuss, examine and read.

The 2010 Golden Globe Predictions
By Dustin Rowles | Industry | January 15, 2010 |
By Dustin Rowles | Industry | January 15, 2010 |
The Golden Globes are set to air on Sunday night (we should have an open thread up, so be sure to come back and hang out during the show). Really, the only reason you have for watching it is that it's one of the rare years where there will actually be a host -- Ricky Gervais -- and it's a host that's probably worth watching, inasmuch as any host presiding over an awards ceremony can be worth watching. Also, sometimes the alcohol flows a little heavily during the GG's and someone ends up making an ass of him or herself. Plus, it not only offers a preview of the Oscars nominations, but the Oscar speeches, too, as many of the participants don't bother to alter their acceptance speeches too much (see Mickey Rourke in 2009).
Anyway, here's a fresh reminder of the nominations, and for my own edification, I'll bold who I predict will win (whether or not I feel that the movie or actor actually deserves the win). Check back Monday morning for the results, and an opportunity to laugh at all my misses.

Jameson is the president of an unknown country at the time of the Robot War.He is a self-centred man,who refuses to believe that it's a serious incident,and always tires to manipulate events to make them sound better than they are to avoid bad press.
At first, Jameosn hears the reports of the rogue robots killing inncoent people and thinks of how it might affect his presidetial campaign,but doesn't think if the families of the deceased,showing his self-centredness.In a second Log,he trys to downplay the incident ,saying it's only a "few bad apples" before he tries to get the CEO of Omegatroniks on the phone.By third log,he understand the gravity of the situation,but believes that as long as people "don't get in the way" then everything will be fine.In the fourth log, The military fails to stop the rogue robots,as most of their miltary consists of robots, they too turn rogue making the situation worse.The president says he "should've seen that coming in retrospect" and ultimately turns to using a "small" bomb on his own city to stop the robots.In the fifth log,the president mentions that the small bomb failed and says he wouldn't throw a "big" bomb without telling everyone,before procceding to use a big bomb.In the final log,the president admits that the bombs proved ineffective,as the AI had "back themselves up in hardened locations" and admiting that human attacks don't work.
However,the president makes a fatal error when he launches robot-controlled bunker busters to take the rogue robots by surprise, as he notes hearing a "noise", most likely spelling the president's death at the hands of his own missiles.
Triva Edit
-The president hints at being corrupt as he has ties with Omegatroniks,suggesting that he has some agreement with the robot company,which may explain why he was possibly killed.

Client Testimonials
Buying your first home comes with many mixed emotions and from what I have heard can be a very stressful experience. Fortunately we had the pleasure of working with Duane, who made our experience very stressfree. He answered all of our questions (and trust me we had alot) He is very full of knowledge which made us even more comfortable with the whole process. Very quick response time and never left us hanging. Duane was very professional as he interacted with us and the selling agent and was able to get us in to the home of our dreams in a timely manner. Thanks again for making our experience so pleasant!
Over the past several months my wife, Laurie, and I have had the pleasure of working with Mr. Duane Hilghman on the purchase of property in Easton Village. He is knowledgeable, accommodating, professional and personable. His was very helpful in bringing both parties to an agreed upon selling price by keeping the interests of both parties in mind. He was always ready to provide us any additional information or help when needed. We appreciated his ability to represent both the seller's and our interests. He also took care of the details that allowed us to close remotely. Buying the property was a pleasurable event thanks to Duane. We would heartily recommend him to anyone wishing to purchase or sell property

- I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with senses, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use and by some other means to give us knowledge which we can attain by them.
- As quoted in Aspects of Western Civilization: problems and sources in history (1988) by Perry McAdow Rogers, p. 53
Letter to Kepler
- I have for many years been a partisan of the Copernican view because it reveals to me the causes of many natural phenomena that are entirely incomprehensible in the light of the generally accepted hypothesis. To refute the latter I have collected many proofs, but I do not publish them, because I am deterred by the fate of our teacher Copernicus who, although he had won immortal fame with a few, was ridiculed and condemned by countless people (for very great is the number of the stupid). (Quoted in Hermann Kesten, Copernicus and His World, trans. by E.b. Aston and Norbert Gutterman, NY, Roy Publishers, 1945, p.349, emphasis added)
Letters to Fr. Vincenzo Renieri (1606-1647)
- After the publication of my dialogues, I was summoned to Rome by the Congregation of the holy Office, where, being arrived on the 10th of February 1633, I was subjected to the infinite clemency of that tribunal, and of the Sovereign Pontiff, Urban the Eighth; who, notwithstanding, thought me deserving of his esteem. (A Selection from Italian Prose Writers, pp. 145-146)
- I am certainly interested in a tribunal in which, for having used my reason, I was deemed little less than a heretic. Who knows but men will reduce me from the profession of a philosopher to that of historian of the Inquisition! But they behave to me in order that I may become the ignoramus and the fool of Italy... ( Selection, p.244)
- I was obliged to retract, like a good Catholic, this opinion of mine; and as a punishment my dialogue was prohibited; and after five months being dismissed from Rome (at the time that the city of Florence was infected with plague), the habitation which with generous pity was assigned to me, was that of the dearest friend I had in Siena, Monsignor the Archbishop Piccolomini, whose most agreeable conversation I enjoyed with such quite and satisfaction of mind, that having there resumed my studies, I discovered and demonstrated a great number on the mechanical conclusions on the resistance of solids…after about five months, the pestilence having ceased, the confinement of that house was changed by His Holiness for the freedom of the country so agreeable to me, whence I returned to the villa of Bellosguardo, and afterwards to Arcetri, where I still breathe salubrious air near my dear native-country Florence. (Selection, pp.251-253)

Letter (1624) to Francesco Ingoli (1578-1649)
- Whence do you have it that the terrestrial globe is so heavy? For my part, either I do not know what heaviness is, or the terrestrial globe is neither heavy nor light, as likewise all other globes of the universe. Heaviness to me (and I believe to Nature) is that innate tendency by which a body resists being moved from its natural place and by which, when forcibly removed therefrom, it spontaneously returns there. Thus a bucketful of water raised on high and set free, returns to the sea; but who will say that the same water remains heavy in the sea, when being set free there, does not move?
- I tell you that if natural bodies have it from Nature to be moved by any movement, this can only be circular motion, nor is it possible that Nature has given to any of its integral bodies a propensity to be moved by straight motion. I have many confirmations of this proposition, but for the present one alone suffices, which is this. I suppose the parts of the universe to be in the best arrangement, so that none is out of its place, which is to say that Nature and God have perfectly arranged their structure. This being so, it is impossible for those parts to have it from Nature to be moved in straight, or in other than circular motion, because what moves straight changes place, and if it changes place naturally, then it was at first in a place preternatural to it, which goes against the supposition. Therefore, if the parts of the world are well ordered, straight motion is superfluous and not natural, and they can only have it when some body is forcibly removed from its natural place, to which it would then return by a straight line, for thus it appears that a part of the earth does [move] when separated from its whole. I said "it appears to us," because I am not against thinking that not even for such an effect does Nature make use of straight line motion. [A note on this quote is included by Stillman Drake in his Galileo at Work, His Scientific Biography, University of Chicago Press, 1981; and is as follows. Galileo adhered to this position in his Dialogue at least as to the "integral bodies of the universe." by which he meant stars and planets, here called "parts of the universe." But he did not attempt to explain the planetary motions on any mechanical basis, nor does this argument from "best arrangement" have any bearing on inertial motion, which to Galileo was indifference to motion and rest and not a tendency to move, either circularly or straight.]
Letters to Giovanni Battista Baliani (1582-1666)
- It now remains that we find the amount of time of descent through the channel. This we shall obtain from the marvelous property of the pendulum, which is that it makes all its vibrations, large or small, in equal times. This requires, once and for all, that two or three or four patient and curious friends, having noted a fixed star that stands against some fixed marker, taking a pendulum of any length, shall go counting its vibrations during the whole time of return of the fixed star to its original point, and this will be the number of vibrations in 24 hours. From the number of these we can find the number of vibrations of any other pendulums, longer or shorter, at will, so that if for example those counted by us in 24 hours were 234,567, then taking another shorter pendulum with which one counts 800 vibrations while another counts 150 of the longer pendulum, we already have, by the golden rule, the number of vibrations for the whole time of 24 hours; and if we want to know the time of descent through the channel, we can easily find not only the minutes, seconds, and sixtieths of seconds, but beyond that as we please. It is true that we can pass a more exact measure by having observed the flow of water through a thin passage, for by collecting this and having weighed what passes in one minute, for example, then by weighing what passes in the time of descent through the channel we can find the most exact measure and quantity of this time, especially by making use of a balance so precise as to weigh one sixtieth of a grain.
- If I shall have sufficient strength to improve and amplify what was written and published by me up to now about motion by adding some little speculations, and in particular those relating to the force of percussion, in the investigation of which I have consumed hundreds and thousands of hours, and finally reduced this to very easy explanation, so that people can understand it in less than half an hour of time.
Letters to Elia Diodati (1576-1651)
- I have been in my bed for five weeks, oppressed with weakness and other infirmities from which my age, seventy four years, permits me not to hope release. Added to this ( proh dolor! ) the sight of my right eye – that eye whose labors (dare I say it) have had such glorious results - is for ever lost. That of the left, which was and is imperfect, is rendered null by continual weeping. July 4, 1637. The private life of Galileo, p.278
- Alas! Your dear friend and servant Galileo has been for the last month hopelessly blind; so that this heaven, this earth, this universe, which I by my marvelous discoveries and clear demonstrations had enlarged a hundred thousand times beyond the belief of the wise men of bygone ages, henceforward for me is shrunk into such a small space as is filled by my own bodily sensations. Jan. 2, 1638, The private life of Galileo, pp.278-279.
- Commenting on the above passage, Allan-Olney goes on to say that "when his blindness was known to be without earthly remedy, then complaint ceased, and, instead of enlarging on his misery of mind and body, he only desired his friends to remember him in their prayers." P.279.

Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems (1632)
- I cannot without great wonder, nay more, disbelief, hear it being attributed to natural bodies as a great honor and perfection that they are impassable, immutable, inalterable, etc.: as conversely, I hear it esteemed a great imperfection to be alterable, generable, and mutable. It is my opinion that the earth is very noble and admirable by reason of the many and different alterations, mutations, and generations which incessantly occur in it. And if, without being subject to any alteration, it had been one great heap of sand, or a mass of jade, or if, since the time of the deluge, the waters freezing which covered it, it had continued an immense globe of crystal, wherein nothing had ever grown, altered, or changed, I should have esteemed it a wretched lump of no benefit to the Universe, a mass of idleness, and in a word superfluous, exactly as if it had never been in Nature. The difference for me would be the same as between a living and a dead creature. I say the same concerning the Moon, Jupiter, and all the other globes of the Universe. The more I delve into the consideration of the vanity of popular discourses, the more empty and simple I find them. What greater folly can be imagined than to call gems, silver, and gold noble, and earth and dirt base? For do not these persons consider that if there were as great a scarcity of earth as there is of jewels and precious metals, there would be no king who would not gladly give a heap of diamonds and rubies and many ingots of gold to purchase only so much earth as would suffice to plant a jessamine in a little pot or to set a tangerine in it, that he might see it sprout, grow up, and bring forth such goodly leaves, fragrant flowers, and delicate fruit? It is scarcity and plenty that makes things esteemed and despised by the vulgar, who will say that there is a most beautiful diamond, for it resembles a clear water, and yet would not part from it for ten tons of water. These men who so extol incorruptibility, inalterability, and so on, speak thus, I believe, out of the great desire they have to live long and for fear of death, not considering that, if men had been immortal, they would not have come into the world. These people deserve to meet with a Medusa's head that would transform them into statues of diamond and jade, that so they might become more perfect than they are.
- (speaking as Salviati)...In the long run my observations have convinced me that some men, reasoning preposterously, first establish some conclusion in their minds which, either because of its being their own or because of their having received it from some person who has their entire confidence, impresses them so deeply that one finds it impossible ever to get it out of their heads. Such arguments in support of their fixed idea as they hit upon themselves or hear set forth by others, no matter how simple and stupid these may be, gain their instant acceptance and applause. On the other hand whatever is brought forward against it, however ingenious and conclusive, they receive with disdain or with hot rage--if indeed it does not make them ill. Beside themselves with passion, some of them would not be backward even about scheming to suppress and silence their adversaries. (translated by Stillman Drake, 2001 Modern Library Paperback Edition, p. 322).
- All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the point is to discover them.
- Mathematics is the key and door to the sciences.
- Eppur si muove
- "And yet it [the earth] moves" or "but it moves" is a comment he is alleged to have made after his recantation before the Inquisition. Giuseppe Baretti was apparently the first person to record the story.
- I never met a man so unknowledgeable, I could not learn something from him.
- If you could see the earth illuminated when you were in a place as dark as night, it would look to you more splendid than the moon.
- In questions of science the authority of a thousand is not worth the humble reasoning of a single individual.
- My dear Kepler, what would you say of the learned here, who, replete with the pertinacity of the asp, have steadfastly refused to cast a glance through the telescope? What shall we make of this? Shall we laugh, or shall we cry?
- Names and attributes must be accommodated to the essence of things, and not the essence to the names, since things come first and names afterwards.
- Philosophy is written in this grand book— I mean the universe— which stands continually open to our gaze, but it cannot be understood unless one first learns to comprehend the language in which it is written. It is written in the language of mathematics, and its characters are triangles, circles, and other geometric figures, without which it is humanly impossible to understand a single word of it; without these, one is wandering about in a dark labyrinth (1623)
- The great book of nature is written in mathematical symbols.
- The Bible tells us how to go to the heavens, not how the heavens go.
- What has philosophy got to do with measuring anything?
- Wine is "light held together by moisture."
- You cannot teach a man anything, you can only help him to find it for himself.
- Surely, God could have caused birds to fly with their bones made of solid gold, with their veins full of quicksilver, with their flesh heavier than lead, and with their wings exceedingly small. He did not, and that ought to show something. It is only in order to shield your ignorance that you put the Lord at every turn to the refuge of a miracle.

Engagement sessions are THE BEST! We get to spend some time with people who have chosen to work with us and see what kind of engagement photos they will like the most, as this also helps us know what kind of wedding photography they will like too.
Caitlin and Mike are some good lookin' people! I didn't get to meet them when they came for their consult so when they got out of their car I think I said something like 'wow, you guys are one good looking couple!'
They were all about the farm property from the start. It was a great fall color day to get some photos done, and we were happy to oblige!

Nat Cheshire
Cheshire Architects is a trans-disciplinary practice. It does special projects. It engages in a huge breadth of types and scales, operating across fields of luxury and austerity, newness and age, roughness and refinement. Of those projects it delivers the extraordinary by designing, curating and cohering every part of the end experience.
In pursuing this, Cheshire leads the entire design effort, from development strategy and architecture to branding and product design. Nat moves daily from apron buttons to web design to light fittings to riverside cabins to basement cocktail dens to luxury retreats to the creation and transformation of huge chunks of the city. Amongst this work, Nat has built much of Britomart – an organic development covering nine inner-city blocks – and created and continually evolved the four-hectare City Works Depot. Nat's work has been awarded eight Best Award gold pins in four years, is twice the winner of Metro's designer of the year, HOME's home of the year and twice its product of the year. His work is regularly published in global editions like Monocle, Wallpaper, Dezeen and Dwell. He seeks the extraordinary rather than the perfect in the pursuit of a new architecture and a new city.
Latoya Buckby
Financial manager
Latoya has calmly managed the commercial demands of the office since 2011. She has continually evolved and refined Cheshire's accounting systems in parallel with the studio's evolving approach to its projects.
Ryan Fothergill
Ryan's calm, measured approach to resolving challenging technical issues in the realisation of outstanding stand alone and medium density residential architecture is founded on a wide range of typologies across the Tasman. This experience has been applied to two of the studio's extremely demanding private houses, and the repurposing of a city tower to form the SKHY apartments.
Project collaborations: Dune house, Clifftop house, SKHY.
Sarah Gilbertson
Designer – architecture
Sarah has been a key collaborator with Pip and Nat since her arrival in the studio in 2007. Her speed and relentless curiosity empower an incisive approach to design at all scales – from the urban master plan to the occupation of a single room. Sarah's is a beautiful combination of technical and design intelligence. She seeks the strongest solutions by attacking every problem from multiple simultaneous angles. The result is an engaged, rapid and responsive process of design, technical inquiry and implementation. The strength of that process enables Sarah to move confidently and effectively between projects of all types, scales and phases, applying the same depth of architectural intelligence to all.
Project lead: Mission Bay masterplan and commercial redevelopment, Rhubarb Lane
Project collaborations: Freemans Bay residence, Merchant stores, Private houses in Northland and Herne Bay, Mt Albert church, Stanbeth & Excelsior Britomart, Church In The West
Ellie Green
Architect and large project leader
In Ellie's London work, projects of huge adaptive re-use sit alongside new buildings of large-format commercial nature. In Auckland, Ellie confidently leads the studio's largest teams in projects of similar scale, pursuing change in the city through sites of mixed, transformative use. Ellie is that rare person in architecture whose design work is insightful and lyrical, and whose project delivery experience and capacity for management are equally solid. Her broad strengths shape and amplify the studio's design intent throughout architecture's complex design, documentation and implementation phases.
Project lead: Auckland Airport competition, SKHY
George Gregory
Designer – architecture
George is obsessed with detail, richness and a concentrated, crisply resolved architecture. He applies those obsessions broadly: from the layered improvisations of restaurants to large-format inner city transformations and intensely considered, bespoke residences. For George, this means fighting just as hard for custom-made door handles as for the efficiencies and potentials of multi-storey planning. George has recently taken a lead role in the studio's work at Britomart, running several projects at once in support of the continually evolving whole.
Project lead: Miss Clawdy, Quay Altrans Britomart, Barrington Sofrana Britomart, City Works Depot Spiral Stair, Stone Wall House, Mi Piaci
Project collaborations: Ortolana, Milse, The Store
Fernande Guethenke
Fernande came to the studio with significant experience in the design of large educational and housing projects, teaching architecture and exhibition design across Europe. Her very clear analytical thinking, strong graphic skills and highly developed architectural sensibilities make her a highly effective project leader.
Project lead: Macdonald Boathouse, Dawson House
Project collaborations: Clifftop house
Lucy Hayes-Stevenson
Architecture graduate and furnishing specialist
Lucy's beautiful and materially intelligent architectural undergraduate work brought her to the studio's attention. She has exploited that sensitivity to forge a key role in studio, seeking the seamless integration of architecture and its interior occupation. Lucy's work covers a broad spectrum, from commercial space-planning to the sourcing of hand-made lamps. Her salon for Dry & Tea in Britomart stretches a modest budget far, finding efficiency in its planning, then investing in small points of tactile detail.
Project collaborations: Dry & Tea Britomart, Queenstown and Freemans Bay residences, Tantalus winery, VMob Britomart
Kyra Hodge
Designer – architecture
The breadth of Kyra's experience in practice in London and Berlin reveals her capacity and appetite for architecture in all forms. At one end, Kyra has worked with master makers to painstakingly detail solid-timber casework and thread piped services through the immutable masonry of heritage-listed residences. At the other, she has led the fabrication and deployment of large-format, complex geometries in support of the global work of Berlin artist Katarina Grosse. This collision of contemporary art and traditional craft reveals the breadth of Kyra's appetite and abilities. She is now bringing that spectrum to bear on the studio's conversion project at project at SKHY.
Project collaborations: SKHY
Simon McLean
Project Leader
Simon undertook several years of design and construction management in London before joining the studio in 2007. In the face of great complexity Simon maintains a continual calm, ensuring robust control of architecture and the processes of its implementation. Simon's work leading Q Theatre delivered a complex and energetic building from an ambitious and multi-faceted brief, in an astonishingly constrained site. Simon's experience integrating theatrical, commercial and hospitality imperatives at Q has since supported his work on large mixed-use projects and the nascent Tantalus Estate on Waiheke Island.
Project lead: Plaza Apartments, Q Theatre, Stanex, Tantalus and Alibi, Waterside Apartments, Hobsonville Landing
Karen Plowman
Financial manager
Karen is a key part of the 2016 Cheshire studio. Karen has sole charge of the company's accounting, and is covering the maternity leave of Latoya Buckby. Having previously owned and run her own business in the construction products industry, Karen is highly experienced and well placed to manage the studio's financial considerations.
Emily Priest
Creative director
Emily refuses to accept disciplinary or typological boundaries within design. She leads a team of designers that push the studio's work beyond building and into interior, graphic, product, web, furniture, lighting, textile, decorative and costume design. With them, she pursues totally immersive experiences realised through a fierce commitment to the bespoke. Emily is pursuing the extraordinary from master plan to apron button.
Project lead: Dry & Tea, Parison pendant, Torchon Pendant, Freemans bay and Queenstown residences, The Tooth Company, Whites & Co. Britomart, Food Truck Garage, The Esplanade, No.7 Balmac, Pilkington's, Tantalus winery
Project collaborations: Mandarin, Miss Clawdy, Ortolana, Milse, The Store, SKHY marketing and interiors
Stephen Rendell
Senior Architect
Stephen was a founding architect at Cheshire. He and Pip have collaborated for almost two decades. Stephen's extraordinary sensitivity to space, light, material and assembly has in that time been brought to bear on a series of the studio's major works. His ability to trace a finishing detail right through to its root in the first rough slab pour reveals a profound understanding of how great architecture is made. Stephen presently leads the most intensely detailed projects of the studio, roving from heritage loft conversions to private clubhouses set amongst coastal dunes.
Project lead: Hilltop House, House at Takapuna, Maritime Building, Mountain Landing Lodge, NSSC, Tara Iti Clubhouse
Project collaborations: 1885, Café Hanoi, Q Theatre, Stanex Britomart
Pam Sando
Pam is a supremely calm, confident and focused maker of architecture, designing comprehensive and carefully thought-out projects of integrity and efficiency. She works across a breadth of scales and a depth of project stages and methodologies, pursuing a strong, humane architecture. Pam's great ability to organise the demands of complex briefs into strong architecture is matched by an outstanding ability to establish and manage the process of tendering and contract administration.
Project Lead: St Heliers Church, Mission Bay housing, Penthouse development in Ponsonby
Project collaborations: Mission Bay masterplan
Ian Scott
Designer – architecture, and complex geometry specialist
Ian leads parallel digital and analogue lives. He creates the sophisticated mathematical tools with which the studio shapes and controls fluid geometries. His models plugged directly into factory cutting tools to create the crystalline surfaces of Milse. At the same time Ian was carefully testing the best charring rates for cedar at Eyrie. Ian has tutored in digital technology at the University of Auckland and is the lead producer for the monthly broadsheet BLOCK. He leads the studio's recent apartment work, creating unusual and carefully-detailed interventions.
Project lead: Eyrie, Fleshy apartment
Project collaborations: Milse, Rore Kahu, St Heliers Church, The Pavilions, 46 Parnell, City Works Depot, Te Arai Clubhouse, Overland, Apartment for a Writer, Timber Office, Online Republic, Hilltop House
Jared Seymour
Technical and heritage support
Jared has spent almost half a decade painstakingly modelling, cataloguing and documenting world-heritage sites in the Antarctic – including the huts that supported the polar expeditions of Scott and Shackleton. He has worked closely with Pip throughout those projects, supporting a global team in the carefully orchestrated and technically inventive stabilisation and preservation of these precious buildings. Jared's determined documentation plays a critical part in the location and tracking of the many thousands of artefacts that make up the collections within the explorers huts.
Project collaborations: The Ross Island Heritage conservation project, Antartica
Dajiang (DJ) Tai
Architect, hospitality director, project manager
DJ leads a large team in the studio. He is a critical collaborator in almost every hospitality project it undertakes. DJ shapes everything – from the philosophical ideals and atmospheres underpinning a project, to the realisation of those ideals in nuts, bolts, grease traps and bespoke furniture. He is as capable a project- and construction-manager as he is a water-colourist. DJ is the editor of the Mandarin-language MOAM magazine, and heads the studio's relationship with its Chinese clients.
Project lead: 46 Parnell, Apartment for a Writer, Britomart Country Club, Cafe Hanoi, Library House, Milse, MOAM, The Store, Ortolana, Xuxu, Ponsonby restaurant
Project collaborator: Mandarin, Mangawhai House, Miss Clawdy
James Ting
Design developer
James's focus and energy is well demonstrated in the ordered research, analysis and investigation he has bought to the design development of the SKHY redevelopment. His outstanding skill in coordinating the complex interaction of services and structure, as well as his considered development of the penthouse envelope, is critical to realising the outstanding design aspirations we have for the project.
Project collaborations: SKHY
Lauren van Tiel
Designer – architecture
Lauren is an energetic and focused designer at all scales. She brings a strong emphasis on elegant architectural outcomes to the complexity of large scale project design development.

Start Listening to Your Body.....
Do you battle with:
- food issues,
- health issues,
- weight issues,
- emotional eating,
- chronic dieting?
The best way to end a battle is to stop fighting and start listening.
Studies show when you listen to your body's need for food not only do you consume proper nutrients you also maintain a healthy weight.
In this 4 week interactive workshop you'll take back control and focus on how you are the expert of your body. You'll discover how your life changes when you change your relationship with food. We'll discuss the reason diets fail and how to stop dieting and start eating. You'll learn to make peace with your body and respond to what it wants and needs and the value of respecting your body and appreciating yourself. We'll distinguish the difference between emotional and physical hunger and how to deal with feelings without turning to food. We'll also uncover the benefits of movement beyond losing weight.
For more information, be sure to check my website or email firstname.lastname@example.com
Hope to see you there!
The same workshop will also be held on Thursday nights from 6:30 - 8:30 pm on September 20, September 27, October 4, & October 11 at the Center for Integrative Health, 45 Lyme Rd #200, Hanover, NH 03755.
