The Peak District is reputedly the worlds second busiest national park after Mount Fuji in Japan. Whether this is true is another matter and the Park's authority has even stated it is hard to monitor numbers.
What is known though, the national park is in very close proximity to two of the UK's largest cities, Sheffield and Manchester and accumulates a lot of it's numbers from these two cities.
It is no surprise then, on a hot day perfect for a walk the Peak District quickly becomes filled with people from the local area and more popular places like Stanage Edge, Dovedale and Mam Tor becomes a motorway of human traffic.
So, on days like this when I want to get away from it all and find some solitude there are very few honeypots left in the Peak District that don't attract many visitors.
I wanted to go Stanage Edge for a shot along the whole of the edge that I had in mind for ages, but knew it would be too busy, I decided to go to Carhead Rocks instead.
Carhead Rocks is just below Stanage Edge and affords you a fantastic view along Stanage, yet is a whole lot quieter. On arriving at the carpark for Carhead and Stanage I had issue finding a space, but once out of the car park I kid you not there wasn't a soul on Carhead Rocks.
You may be thinking it's not well known for a reason, maybe its boring, maybe it's bleak, maybe it doesn't offer any good views but hopefully the two images below will dispell them notions!

The Orthodox Easter observance comes five weeks after Easter was celebrated in the Western world. Orthodox churches use the old Julian calendar to calculate the date of Easter and link the Christian liturgical feast to the Jewish Passover, which began today.
At Sts. Constantine and Helen Greek Orthodox Cathedral of the Pacific, 930 Lunalilo St., Christ's triumphant entry into Jerusalem will be celebrated at a 7 p.m. service tomorrow.
The celebration of the Resurrection will begin at 11 p.m. next Saturday.

Tech Specs:
If it's worth doing it's worth doing with style, thinks AUTOBOT JAZZ. The coolest of the AUTOBOTS, he rolls into battle against the DECEPTICONS with slick moves and a banging sound system. There's no limit to his courage, and nothing he won't do in defense of Earth and the AllSpark. Drawing his blade, he prepares to bring the fight up close and personal with MEGATRON and his evil metal soldiers.
Rank: 8 Courage: 9 Firepower: 6 Skill: 5
Autobot Jazz is packaged in a bubble on a card. The top and bottom of the bubble is sealed to the card but the sides fold over to the back, allowing for a limited type of repackaging. This type of packaging was recently used on the Star Wars Transformers figures, albeit with a different shape. Along the top of the bubble is a curves cardboard insert with tech details printed on it. Along that curve is the text "Automorph Technology". The lower right hand corner has Jazz's box art, a picture of his head. On the back, his cosells are Bumblebee, Wreckage, Brawl, Scorponok and Barricade - basically the entire first wave of deluxe figures. The GM logo is on the back as well and his alternate mode is listed specifically as his "Pontiac Solstice Mode". Such branding is to be expected since like the Alternators this is a licensed toy.
Vehicle Mode:
Let's be clear from the get go, as a modern Transformers fan who has collected Transformers since 1984, I am completely spoiled. I remember a time when non-articulated bricky Transformers were considered the best thing since sliced bread. More recently however, fans have seen the strong potential of Transformers engineering in the Binaltech and Alternators lines. These real life licensed vehicles becoming well articulated robots in disguise have set the bar for Transformers in many ways. When the Transformers movie line was announced, it was assumed there would be licensed vehicles becoming Transformers so the toys would be movie accurate. However, it is unfair to judge a deluxe sized figure set at a $10 price point by the same standards as an Alternators figure, so that is how I decided to approach the vehicle review with only a touch of how I judge Alternators.
Jazz transforms into a Pontiac Solstice GXP in the Transformers movie. This sporty vehicle is compact but sleek. This sculpt retains the curved shape that does remind me a tiny bit of his G1 predecessor's Porche mode. Both vehicles had curved front ends with curved back ends that included high spoilers. However, the Solstice is clearly a class of vehicle by itself with its unique details. All the key details of the Solstice are present here including the oval shaped headlights, the honeycomb like grid on the front grille and side dimples. On the very front of the hood is the arrow shaped Pontiac symbol. On the sides of the hood are vent lines just like the real life vehicle's. Smaller details such as the gas cap cover, license plate opening and the two distinct raised curves in the back. Even the wheels are accurate, representing the factor installed wheel design rather than the dealer installed one.
Jazz is mostly cast in silver plastic. His windows are translucent blue and the wheels are cast in black. Early photos of the windows on the car seem to show a blue tint to them, so this color may not be so far off from the real thing. Smaller details are painted in red and black. The honeycomb sections are black, and the Pontiac symbol along with the rear lights are painted red. The black wheels and tires have a silver trim around the edges, matching the color pattern of the real life vehicle. A bit of yellow shows on the lights underneath the headlights. This is a nice way of representing the lights there which sometimes have dual colors.
While Jazz's weapon does not store away anywhere on the vehicle, it can connect to the spoiler to act as a weapon in vehicle mode. The spoiler can actually move up and down, allowing the weapon to "aim". The weapon barrel is silver, matching the color of the vehicle. The telescoping sword inside is cast in black.
Overall the designers did a great job replicating the real life Solstice. The colors are a perfect way to help add details and the vehicle mode suits the character well.
Transformation to Robot Mode:
- Detach the weapon if attached.
- Swing up the rear section with the spoiler and detach it. Set it aside for now.
- Pull the rear halves of the car back.
- Turn the rear sections so the wheels face up.
- Swing out the black foot pieces and swing the heel pieces out.
- Flip the car over and you'll see the robot waist section connected to the legs. Swing that forward to connect to the mid-body.
- Swing the robot legs down.
- Pull the sides of the front car section out to the sides.
- Swing down the car cabin section to reveal the robot head.
- Swing the panel behind the black honeycomb section on each arm and swing them forward.
- Swing each hood piece back and flip out the robot claws.
- Swing each panel over and then swing the arms forward.
Robot Mode:
The design aesthetic of the movie is quite different than what most fans are used to seeing from the Transformers toy line, and it is fair to say many of the movie characters do not look a whole lot like their G1 incarnations. However in the case of Jazz, it is interesting just how well his new form looks like his original. He uses the very standard "hood on chest" design that many of the G1 Autobots shared. The rear section of the car becomes his legs and his head sculpt is clearly a homage to the G1 designs with its combination of "ears" and the pointed visor for his eyes. Jazz does not have a mouth in this figure, but some early leaked photos of the character show a mouth, so presumably the mouthplate here is representative of his "battle mode" head.
One of the key elements of the movie designs is the "armor plated" look, where armor is placed over complex looking machinery. This aesthetic is present here. The plate his head rests on has a group of wire details and the sections on the top of the chest have a lot of tech detail sculpted into the plastic. His waist is very sleek and angled, leading to the legs which alternate sections between the outer armor plates and the underlying machinery. This look is nowhere near as jumbled as it seems. In fact, some parts look really nice such as the lower legs, where tubes form a V shape with an arrow shaped piece of armor going up to the knees. Perhaps the oddest bit of design are his hands, which are actually three claws sculpted into one piece. I also find it interesting that "fake" wheels are sculpted on the sides of his legs, perhaps to mirror the look in the movie where sometimes parts wind up in different places than they do on the toys themselves. While Jazz's legs are rather thick looking for a robot who transforms into a sports car. However it works with the look of the character and I will be very interested to see how this translates into CGI form on the big screen.
Jazz's "Automorph" feature affects how he looks in this form. When you swing back the cabin section, the robot head folds up and the middle of the chest comes out a little, adding to the layered look of armor plates on the robot mode.
In this form Jazz's eyes are revealed as translucent blue plastic. Because his eyes are so big, the light piping effect is rather dramatic. Black makes up a lot more of this form than the vehicle mode. The section on top of the chest is all black. The underlying sections of the legs along with the feet are black. Gold paint is used to color parts on the legs such as the aforementioned V shaped tubes. This color scheme really helps add to the complex look of the onscreen robot carry over to the figure. A bit of red is used on the legs where there are circles on each leg. His waist has an Autobot symbol painted silver in the center.
The weapon attaches to either arm by folding out the lower panel on the arm and attaching the weapon's peg to the hole in the arm. The weapon telescopes out and is described on the packaging as a sword, but with a small triangular piece at the end it looks more like an energy weapon of some sort. His shield can mount onto his shoulder by connecting to the center of the wheels on his arms.
Autobot Jazz has seventeen points of articulation in this form. This includes four points in each arm. Truthfully the main point I miss is waist articulation, which isn't possible due to his transformation scheme.
Final Thoughts:
Autobot Jazz is a very nicely done take on the real life Solstice in vehicle mode. In robot form he definitely shows how the movie aesthetic can still emulate some of the G1 aesthetic and make a cool looking robot. I do wish his arms were a bit more solid than just being panels, but that hardly makes him a bad toy. Recommended!

Planet Earth - Britney Spears will lip sync to Justin Timberlake's new audio book recording of War and Peace. According to her agent she is dedicating the new DVD to Insomniacs Anonymous, who have agreed to back Britney's entire world tour in return for this especially dull boring and somewhat bizarre DVD.
"(Yawn)We have been looking...forward...to... Britney's return (yawn). I haven't slept since she started having...(sigh) problems in her career," said Lyle Wagoner, president of Insomniacs Anonymous, "This DVD and tour will (yawn) guarantee sleep for millions of people world wide...(sigh) it will be trans..lated in to ten....different languages."
Britney Spears was busy having a liver transplant and could not be reached for comment, but her agent issued this statement on the lip syncher's behalf. "This project is an important step in Britney's exciting comeback. The backing by Insomniacs Anonymous guarantees a new fan base that will appreciate her talent in new ways."
Britney Spears "Insomnia Tour" begins this October in upper Siberia.

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) — California will be looking into the risks posed to the state's electrical system by a geomagnetic storm or an electromagnetic pulse attack.
Gov. Jerry Brown signed Senate Bill 1076 into law on Wednesday. The bill calls for the state's Offices of Emergency Services to look into the risk of an EMP attack or a geomagnetic storm that could wipe out portions of the state's power grid.
RELATED: Cyberattacks On Electrical Grid Not As Easy As They Seem
The bill, authored by state Sen. Bob Hertzberg, recalls the Carrington Storm that wiped out telegraph operations in the 19th century and calls for more research into how a similar coronal mass ejection from the sun could affect the state in the 21st century.
With modern dependence on the electrical grid for pretty much everything other than using a hammer, the impact from such a storm could be devastating. The bill lays out a dire scenario of a national blackout that could lead to the deaths of millions and put a $2 trillion dent in the economy.
The bill itself doesn't propose any solutions, rather it focuses on collecting data on possible vulnerabilities and raising public awareness of the impact such an event could have on the state. That risk analysis and evaluation would be in the next State Hazard Mitigation Plan

Boxee Box remote now available for desktop BoxeeLast updated Jul 8, 2011 — 7459 views
D-Link has begun selling the Boxee Box's two-sided remote control as an unbundled product for users of Boxee on PCs and Macs. It's the exact same remote that ships with the Boxee Box.
The DSM-22 Boxee remote comes with a nano-sized USB adapter (pictured on the right; click to enlarge), which provides the required 2.5GHz RF wireless interface to the PC or Mac system.
The design of the Boxee Box remote control has earned it both praise and scorn: praise for the rear-side mini-QWERTY keyboard, which eases the task of entering text when entering search terms or other data; and scorn for the hard-to-decipher button labels and lack of backlighting, which render the backside QWERTY keys nearly-impossible to read under dim lighting conditions of many TV watching environments.
D-Link's DSM-22 RF wireless remote control for Boxee on desktop PCs and Macs is identical to the one that comes with the Boxee Box
(click image to enlarge)
According to the DSM-22's specs, it comes with drivers for Windows 7, Vista, XP, and SP 2003, and Mac OS X 10.4/10.5/10.6 (Intel only). No mention of Linux, but presumably the Linux Boxee community will solve that problem in short order.
In addition to its use with desktop systems or HTPCs (home theater PCs), the DSM-22 can of course be used as replacement remote for the D-Link Boxee Box, since it's identical to the original remote that came with the box.
The DSM-22 is available at Amazon for about $40. Further details are also available on D-Link's website.

We're big basketball fans at our house, especially my oldest daughter who plays in the town league (and also constantly in the house).
My husband follows college basketball pretty closely, although less so this year as his team won't be competing for the National Championship. But hey, winning the NIT is still something, uh right?
When I heard about a fun opportunity to put together Munch Madness snacks with deLish products from Duane Reade, I knew I could find something great for my basketball-loving family.
There really are a lot of deLish snack options to choose from at Duane Reade, whether you're looking for sweet, salty or even healthy. I had the color orange on my mind to fit in with the basketball theme, and got cheese from the refrigerated section of the store near the drinks and then headed over to the aisle marked grocery, snacks and peanuts that had just about anything you could want in the way of snacks.
I had seen a cute idea on Pinterest to turn fruit cups into basketballs, so I knew that would be part of my Munch Madness spread. I also grabbed a few more of my kids favorite snacks - pistachios, rice cakes, crackers and of course, cookies.
I was undecided on which cookies to get and then I saw these ones with a castle on them and thought perfect, I'll make it a riddle for them playing off the idea of a "King's court" and a "basketball court." Also not bad: they were on sale.
When I got home, I had a nice assortment to choose from to arrange our basketball snacks, including the addition of basketball clementines.
After I arranged our game day snacks on a serving tray, also turning the diced peaches into basketballs,
I started thinking these snacks would also make a really fun basketball-themed lunch, too. I added a cheese sandwich with basketball illustration, and wrote a shout-out to her pick to win the NCAA college basketball championship on the cheese stick.
I also included a riddle in her lunchbox, "What does a castle have in common with a basketball game? They both have a court!"
I think it turned out great, and my little basketball player loved it!
To get your own Munch Madness snacks from Duane Reade, visit a store near you. And stay up to date with all things Duane Reade on Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram and YouTube.

As a bail bondsman, believe it or not we often get confused with bounty hunters. We both deal with criminals, so we're the same right?
Bounty Hunters and Bail Bondsman are completely different jobs, and as Bail Bondsman we often find ourselves servicing Bounty Hunters who are completely different.
Though we both deal with potential criminals and fugitives it's important to understand the differences between them and what they do, because you never know when you're going to find yourself needing one or the other.
As we define these two professions, please keep in mind that each state has their own laws on each of these types of careers and that their job specifications may be a bit different from where you reside.
Bail Bondsman – A Bail Bondsman is someone who helps you make your bail bonding payments. When arrested an individual usually is given a bail which is a sum of money that her or she can put up, to escape imprisonment up until the date of court. This industry in particular is highly regulated and in certain states bondsman can only take a certain percentage of the bond as their income.
Bounty Hunter – A Bounty Hunter is someone who goes after those who have failed to show up to court for a monetary award. They can often go by many names including bail agent and recovery agent, but they are usually known as a bounty hunter. Bounty hunters are usually employed by bail bondsman who are looking for criminals who have jumped bail. Because bail bondsman are seeking individuals for re-arrest, bounty hunters can usually enter the homes of people without a warrant and are not mandated by typical laws.
Looking for a Bail Bondsman? We can help.
A bail bondsman is someone who has been gained access to the world. Give us a call today at 919-278-7297 or submit your questions to our form.

There's Going to Be a Baby
John Burningham (text) & Helen Oxenbury (illustrations)
(Walker Books)
(Walker Books)
There is going to be a new baby in the house, and the first born has a lot of questions to ask. When is it going to come? What will we call it? What will the baby do? We don't really need a baby, do we? The story focuses mainly on conversations between the mother and the child, with the little boy is full of wonderment as to what the baby will do when it arrives: will it work in the zoo? will it be a chef? As we follow the little boy and his mum through the seasons as they await the new arrival, we also follow his emotional journey to reach acceptance of his new sibling.
The book is beautifully illustrated by Helen Oxenbury who has used some beautifully retro colours, and has used two very distinctive styles to convey what is happening in the little boy's life and what is considering as career paths for his future sibling. For this bit, there is a dotted comic-strip style pages, à la Lichtenstein, again using those beautiful retro colours but more more faded. The effect is really lovely, and is clear enough that a young audience will be able to differentiate between what is really happening in the child's life and what he is daydreaming about.
The text is written by John Burningham. This is the first time this husband-and-wife team have worked together and it is a collaboration that has been long-awaited, as they are both some of our most beloved picture book creators. So of course there was a lot of hype and media exposure for this book. Does it deliver? Yes, to a certain extent. The book really is lovely and will be a great book to help prepare a child for the arrival of a new sibling There is a lot of humour, specifically through the baby's potential careers, which will help lighten a situation which can be quite hard for older sibling.
But I was slightly disappointed because I really wanted the book to include both illustrators' artwork; their styles are poles apart but I would have loved to see Oxenbury illustrate the "real world" and Burningham illustrate the baby's careers to be. I don't feel Burningham's stamp is on it. It could easily be just a Helen Oxenbury book.
If you are looking for a present for a sibling-to-be, I warmly recommend it.

Interior Design Secrets The Pros Don't Want You To Know
Are you looking to boost your home's interior design? Others have similar desires, and this information can aid you in considering various design aspects. The advice you are about to read has been proven effective.
An excellent interior decorating hint is to always strongly consider what the purpose of a room will be. If you are redecorating a child's room you should use some bright and lively colors to go along with a child's enthusiasm. However, these colors may not be right for your family room.
One thing that you must remember when designing a room is to make or create a mood. The overall design of the room should revolve around a specific mood you hope to create while using the room. A example of this would be creating a calm mood with soft and warm colors.
Pick a mood or theme you want to have going on in your living space before beginning a design project. You can take your room in an exciting, vibrant direction or keep things calm and serene. Choosing a mood before starting will make your decisions more cohesive and more fluid.
Once you have an idea of what you want, check mass retailers for quality equivalents of designer work. Try not to always purchase a designer brand, as these can set you back a lot of money. If you can't find something similar, than splurge, but don't do it with every piece.
Be sure to understand your financial position before starting a design project. How bad would it be to begin a project and not be able to finish it because of finances? The can help you avoid some stress and anxiety as you work on designing.
Details can make or break your design. The key to a great room is using the accent pieces in the best way possible. You could use cupboard knobs, fixtures and try to have a theme that contributes to a larger picture. It is much cheaper than purchasing new furniture or changing your floors.
At times, replacing the doors of your cabinets is an easy way to redo your kitchen. Glass doors, modern facings or even open shelving will update your design style. Then you can add some accent pieces inside the cabinets to really give the room a sense of style.
If your floors are concrete, stone, or tile, use attractive area rugs to give your rooms a cozier feel. Ensure that you periodically change out the rugs so that you prevent them from tearing down. This will make your rugs last longer.
When planning out the new design of your home, it always best to be practical. Remember that reds and dark colors are difficult to cover up and wallpaper can be hard to remove. If you want to sell in the future, unusual decor might deter buyers. If you simply cannot stop yourself from putting your stamp on the property, be sure that your decor is simple to remove.
Hiring expensive experts or following the fancy designs from magazines is not needed to improve your home's interior. You just need the determination to learn how to properly design the best home for you. This article will show you how to create a space that serves your purposes and matches your sense of style.

Explaining why the Annexations are good for the City
I presume it is obvious that I do support the annexations. I am attaching some materials that I have prepared that give my reasons for supporting them. The two northern annexations will clearly bring substantial tax revenues to the City—revenues that will far exceed the costs that they will create. This is so because the Thatcher property is entirely commercial, and the Crumland property is about 75% commercial, I believe. The three annexations will not cause your taxes to increase—just the opposite, it will give the City an opportunity to lower taxes.
My children have attended Frederick High School, which has taken the brunt of growth for at least 15 years. We have experienced overcrowding there to enable the County to build beautiful new high schools (Urbana and Tuscarora). If the County wants to prevent the building of any new schools, then they should also be trying to prevent more growth in the areas of the county far from urban areas. But the County is not doing this. The County's opposition to the annexation is opposing the smartest approach to handling growth—that is to put new development close to existing infrastructure (power, water, sewer and schools). The northern annexations are in the best place for growth, just as the County acknowledged for many years; this is the cheapest place for new growth. And there is going to be growth—the County fully acknowledges this—an estimated 90,000 more people in the County in the next 20 years. If this is the case, then the County should make appropriate plans so that the growth occurs where it would be best. That is what the County did years ago. It is contrary to intelligent growth and planning for the County to change its mind on where growth should occur at the last minute—after it used the northern areas as a reason why the City should join with the County in building the Potomac River Water Supply line. The City has committed over $50 million dollars to help build this pipe line. It is now entirely wrong for the County to change its mind and try to prevent the City from growing where they previously agreed the City should grow.
The cost of new schools is partly borne by local taxpayers, and is partly borne by the State, and monies are allocated from the State according to need. That the two northern annexations will eventually necessitate the building of one Elementary School, is not a reason to prevent the annexation. This result is much better than spreading the same amount of growth around the County through sprawl. The City's annexation is an excellent example of smart growth and sustainability.
If there is going to be growth, the officials should do what they can to make it occur in the best place. As you will see, if you read the attached materials, the two northern annexations will help to bring about the Monocacy Blvd. interchange and later the Biggs Ford Road interchange. Only when one of these is built will the Hayward Road intersection be shut down.
The infill development opportunities in the City are important, and will continue to be developed. But what is being planned for the two northern annexations could not be done in the few, small infill lots that exist in the City. The northern properties are the only ones of sufficient size to attract the large and premier employer campuses that the City will need.
By annexing these properties now, the City has been able to secure $8-10 million in payments and commitments toward road improvements PLUS the City has provided incentives that will help build the needed interchanges at Monocacy Blvd and Biggs Ford Road. The agreements are structured so that the Thatcher development cannot be done without an interchange being done, and the Crumland development cannot be completed until an interchange is done. The Crumland property can build 350-450 homes if they build the Willowbrook Road (at a cost of $5 – $8 million). This particular development will be extremely important in view of the 3,000+ new jobs that will be coming to Ft. Detrick shortly. This is a neighborhood that will be close to those jobs.
The annexation issues are rather complex. But I have thoroughly evaluated them, and I believe they are clearly beneficial to the City. For that reason, I am working hard to help people understand the benefits.

Garages are the moving doors that you are familiar with, but do not take the time to think about it. It is practically a sliding door that allows your substances to move between both sides of it. It is similar to gate, and is another version of a door, like your front door, which allows guests or a family to enter between the outside of the house and the inside of the house. Garages tend to come in some standard colors, such as white or grey. Ameran Garage Doors, Inc. has not seen too many green or blue garages, but they are there. Some people are into their creative side, and a colorful garage door is something they have never seen nor heard of before.

What are the Benefits of Repairing a Garage?
When was the last time you did not repair a garage? If you did not have a garage, this repairing a garage would probably not apply to you. If you have ever had a garage or seen what it is like to have a garage that is broken, you know that pretty much every garage that is broken looks odd and unsafe, because it leaves openings in the house. If not that, you probably cannot tell when a broken garage is present. Why? People who own broken garages do not want people to see their embarrassment, and would not want to leave their home opened for chances of theft. So what would they do if it was broken? They decide to keep it closed at all times, by forcing it down and leaving it there. From the outside, you would never tell, but to the residents of the home, you can tell. They may live their life with that broken garage, never being able to use it to park their stuff or enter inside. They just have an extension of their house practically. That is something you do not want to do to yourself, which is why you call Ameran Garage Doors and Gates, Inc. at (714) 905-9909, when you are in Orange County, CA cities like Irvine, Tustin, Newport Beach, or any other area that is nearby.

The truth is that not many people think "What could go wrong with my garage?" or "Is my garage being properly maintained, so that any existing problems do not turn into long term problems?" Most people prefer not to do so in order to save money, and eventually end up spending more money to fix it than the would to maintain it. If you are the proactive type and would prefer to have your garage maintained, be sure to call us at (714) 905-9909 or fill out the instant quote form! You can view more information at maintaining your garage here.
A garage door is only a reflection of the people inside of it. If you see a broken garage door or one that is tilted, crooked, and looks off, then you know that the owners must either not care how they appear to the world, or they do not have the funds to afford to make their garage look nice. It looks bad and terrible when you look at a garage and see that it is dirty, not filled correctly, or just outright bad to the eyes. Ameran Garage Doors and Gates, Inc. is here for your service and is able to fix your garage door or help you install your garage door quickly and efficiently!

The Philadelphia International Festival of the Arts 2011 captured the atmosphere of 1911 Paris bringing modern day Philadelphia on a journey back to a place where industry and invention catalyzed the artistic movement of the age. At the center of this installation designed by Mimi Lien was an 81'-tall Eiffel Tower sculpture.
As the construction phase and installation planning began, several challenges were revealed. From the floor to the ceiling, the Kimmel Center's existing architecture presented the biggest challenges. One of these challenges was the 125-lbs per sq. foot load-rating on the floor. This floor was originally designed as a floating floor for acoustical purposes. To work within these parameters, the staff at Proof Productions Inc.(PPI) worked with engineers from Gary K. Munkelt & Associates to transfer the sculpture's weight down to four 6'x 6'x½" steel plates with high-density rubber underneath placed at the feet of each leg of the Tower.
The existing ceiling architecture in the Kimmel Center lobby also presented a challenge for installation. It was determined by building engineers that overhead rigging was not an option for installation. Without the aid of chain motors from above, a ground-support truss structure was erected to provide the needed lifting capacity. In addition to the floor and the ceiling constraints, the team also had to fabricate the components to load-in through the standard double-doors of the Kimmel Center.
The entire installation was open to the public as preparation for other parts of the festival and events continued in other Kimmel Center performance spaces. Power had to be run to the lobby (300amp, 3-phase) from panels dedicated to other performance areas in the building. With no rigging support from above, a 120' atrium lift was used for high-reach access during installation. This unique lift is made to fit inside a standard double-door.
The team chosen for this project was put together in part for their reliability and history of successful partnerships and projects. Each member played a specific role in the completion process of not only the Tower but also the zeppelins, bi-planes, and miniature trains that soared along cables 100' above the ground.
Scenic designer Mimi Lien worked closely with Proof Productions and Fuse Management to take an idea and transform it into reality. The journey from inspiration to design to execution created an experience where the audience entered from the streets of Philadelphia, spent an evening transported back in time to a Paris of the imagination, and left with the dreamlike memory of a fantastical City of Light.

The Night We Said Yes
By: Lauren Gibaldi
Available June 2015
Before Matt, Ella had a plan. Get over a no-good ex-boyfriend. Graduate from high school without any more distractions. Move away from Orlando, Florida, where she's lived her entire life.
But Matt—the cute, shy, bespectacled bass player who just moved to town—was never part of that plan.
And neither was attending a party that was crashed by the cops just minutes after they arrived. Or spending an entire night saying "yes" to every crazy, fun thing they could think of.
Then Matt abruptly left town, and he broke not only Ella's heart but those of their best friends, too. So when he shows up a year later with a plan of his own—to relive the night that brought them together—Ella isn't sure whether Matt's worth a second chance. Or if re-creating the past can help them create a different future.
In alternating then and now chapters, debut author Lauren Gibaldi crafts a charming, romantic story of first loves, lifelong friendships, uncovered secrets, and, ultimately, finding out how to be brave.
This Blonde's Review:
Ella has had bad luck with guys. Her first real boyfriend cheats on her and offers a high five for friendship when he breaks up with her. Then she meets Matt. She's instantly drawn to him and he seems to understand her. You might think they were a perfect match, they didn't fight like her best friends did. But when he leaves town and stops talking to her she knows that what happened with him is worse than anything that happened with anyone else. Months later she still can't get over him and expects to see him everywhere. Until one night she does.
When Matt shows back up in her life she doesn't know what to think. She doesn't want to care. He catches her curiosity by trying to recreate the night they met. A wild night with her best friends, the ones who would become his best friends too, where they say yes to everything. As they go through each part of the night we get to see relive the memories of what happened when they met and the fallout of what had happened to Ella after Matt left. Seeing past and present can be hard for me to fully enjoy but the way this one was written worked for me. I liked that we could see their relationship grow as well as the way the experience reliving the night caused so much internal conflict.
I couldn't help but love Matt and hope that they were able to make things work. He was such a nice guy that we couldn't help but want to find a good reason for what happened. But I also loved Ella enough that I didn't want it to be something she forgave easily. I really enjoyed both of them as characters so much. And seeing their friends and their relationships was great. I think that the other relationships in the book were great foil, one relationship was turbulent while another was sweet and easy. Ella and Matt had something in between, something with potential if they can get past what happened.
I felt that the way Ella handled things was actually kind of great. She didn't really leap to anything, she thought about it and made a choice about what she really wanted out of her life and for herself. With or without the guy I can't think of anything I like more. And the things she came to understand about her friends' relationships was great too, seeing that it isn't always what we think is best. Sometimes we have to let people do what is right for them and expect the same for ourselves.
This is a book with a girl who has to decide what is best for her, the guy she loved or moving on without him. If that sounds like something you'd enjoy then you should definitely pick this up. I really enjoyed it.


text: Medvedev was in Vladikavkaz to mark the anniversary of last year's Russia-Georgia war [AFP] "Last year's events have finally redrawn the political map of the Caucasus," he told the 58th Army, which spearheaded Russia's action against Georgia in the conflict. In video Tensions high in South Ossetia on war anniversary "The recognition of South Ossetia's and Abkhazia'sindependence was the only possible solution," he said. "This decision will not be reviewed." Later, Medvedev reiterated his comments to a delegation from South Ossetia, saying: "Such decisions are made once and for all, and there is no way back." Only Nicaragua has followed Russia's lead in recognising the regions, which Georgia calls occupied territory and where thousands of Russian troops remain based, as independent countries. Commemoration ceremony The five-day war killed at least 390 civilians and at its height displaced more than 100,000 people. In Tskhinval, the South Ossetian capital, hundreds of people marked the event, holding a candle-light vigil shortly before midnight, the time when Georgian forces launched their assault in August last year. In depth South Ossetia ready for 'invasion' Nato ambitions irk Russia A thorny 'rose revolution' Timeline: Georgia People & Power: A forgotten country Images of Mikheil Saakashvili, the Georgian president, were interspersed with pictures of destroyed homes and elderly women in tears and projected on a giant screen in the capital, while musicians played melancholy music. Eduard Kokoity, the South Ossetian leader, addressed the crowd and said Georgia bore the blame for the conflict. "The goal of the operation was the destruction and exile of the South Ossetian people," Kokoity said. "South Ossetian fighters courageously thwarted Tbilisi's plans for blitzkrieg. Russian troops came to the rescue of South Ossetia and pushed the bloodthirsty enemy back," he said. Georgia has rejected claims that its military tried to rid the region of Ossetians, alleging instead that Ossetian militia engaged in the ethnic cleansing of Georgians in South Ossetia. Western concerns The war rattled Western confidence in oil and gas routes running through Georgia and skirting South Ossetia. Western states condemned Russia's action as "disproportionate" and the European Union and Nato froze talks with Russia, a major supplier of energy to Europe. But a year later, ties are back on and Medvedev said the conflict had not damaged Russia's international relations. One year after it ended, Russia and Georgia are still blaming each other for starting the war. Georgia says the war began late August 7, 2008, with the alleged entry of a Russian military convoy into South Ossetia. Commemorative ceremonies were held there on Friday. But Russia insists August 8, the day that South Ossetia's capital came under a Georgian artillery barrage, marks the war's start. SOURCE: Agencies

The Jobsite of Tomorrow: A Collaboration of Solution Providers
Autodesk University is a great experience for anyone working in or with Autodesk software to get a glimpse of what the future will hold for their industries. The show features engineering, rendering, and manufacturing software with a growing field of construction solutions. GTP had one of the largest booths in the building at 20'x60' which is quite a canvas to showcase our company and our offerings. The problem we found is that one of our greatest offerings is flexibility and collaboration. As a channel partner, vendor, consultant and software developer, we found ourselves trying to capture not only the products that we provide, but also who we are working with and what we're doing to help bring solutions to the field. As a software company we have a great means of capturing what we can do with software, and we don't aspire to trying to take over the BIM market, so how do we show that GTP Solutions not only work with your existing tools and workflows? We bring everyone in on the "Jobsite of Tomorrow"
We showed up with a big rack for holding monitors, displaying seismic hangers, deck installation solutions. Each of our partners showed up to explain how they're working with GTP and the BIM model to improve your existing products and produce better solutions.
Graybar joined us in the booth to discuss model based procurement and how the BIM model can improve the services they deliver.
Greenlee was there to discuss the bendworks software package, how it works with the GTP Electrical add-in for Revit, and how they can provide fast documentation for the prefabrication of conduits in a variety of sizes on a variety of benders.
GTP was showing off the TopCon robotic total stations explaining how they can save huge amounts of time on layout. Power Fasteners was there explaining how their upper attachments can be laid out on the deck for precast anchoring as well as showing off some of their drilling solutions for getting through the deck.
Lincoln Electric was there showing off their PowerWave line of welders that track welding information, and we were there to show how we brought the information back into the model for weld tracking.

Tuesday July 9, 2013– Ojo de Agua y Loma Bonita
Ojo de Agua:
Tuesday morning I joined Chelsea, the Peace Corps volunteer from Lago Bayono, and a local Panamanian tour guide, Briant, to explore potential new sites to bring tourists to in the province of Coclé. This time it was a little bit easier getting there as Briant was our chauffeur for the day. We drove about 3 hours south from Panama City to meet 2 more Peace Corps volunteers in a small community outside Colpé called Ojo de Agua. The local peace corps volunteer and a group of about 5 community members led us back on a half an hour hike to some of the most fun waterfalls on our trip.
The first and biggest falls that we came to, called Chorro Grande, was hidden, and was a powerful, tall waterfall. It had a classic boulder, the kind you see in movies, from which to jump into the cold swimming hole below. At first the jump looked a little higher than any jump that I'd done before, but after someone asked me to join, I decided to just go for it. I nervously hiked over to the boulder and it began raining. Standing above the falls and looking down was such a rush. Like so many other things in life after standing around and thinking about it for too long, I began to have second thoughts. Something inside of me told me to go for it anyways, so the group counted me down and I leapt into the water. The experience is one I will never forget. With the adrenaline rush, the new experiences of the day, and the beauty of the secluded green forest around us, I was grateful to be there and reminded how great things can happen when you have the courage to take that leap. It began to rain harder so we waited below a slanted tall boulder for the rain to pass before moving onto the next two falls.
Next was Higo, a waterfall about 10 minutes away. It had a different, not as tall but a more risky climb to a launching point into the water below. The swimming hole was large and perfect for the hot and humid day.
The last waterfall, Posa Azul, was more spread out and became a mini natural water park. We watched as one of the members of the community hopped in the water and was pushed down the fall as if he was on a waterslide. Since it had just rained we cut our time short as I learned from the group that a large rain can create a sort of debris avalanche, pushing down rocks, branches and even big logs from the top of the mountain and into the river beds.
We hiked back to the house of one of the members of the community and enjoyed a lunch of stew and rice with two new Panamanian vegetables that I had never heard of before. Delicious, just as most things are after a good hike! It was fun to eat something new, and it only cost us $3 per person. There are no restaurants or markets within the community. If you would attempt to adventure here, your best bet for lunch would be a member of the community's home or a mini market in Colpé, about a 25-minute drive from the community. Ojo de Agua does not have official tours yet but they are interested in starting some.
Loma Bonita:
Next up was Loma Bonita, just a community or so away from Ojo de Agua. Since we had our chauffeur, we were able to quickly head over for an afternoon hike. We hiked down a well-traveled path down to a very steep and muddy incline (it is the rainy season, and it had rained earlier that day). This time I was smart enough to wear my hiking boots, and so happy I did. Many locals wear rain boots to get through these muddy areas, but the soles of the rain boots can also be dangerous when walking on the slippery rocks near the water – so choose your instrument wisely!
Our local guide had a machete and was able to create some semblance of a path, and we wove our way towards the falls. Once there, we saw a graceful, almost more dainty but tall waterfall that was so different than the ones we had seen earlier. I hadn't thought about it before this trip, but there are so many different types of falls. They all have their unique rhythm and style. This one didn't have as much water, so the falls trickled down close to the rock instead of bursting out as we had seen earlier that day.
Having spent a long day hiking in the heat, our chauffeur dropped us in Colpé on his way back to the Panama City and we purchased a few things to make dinner with the Peace Corps volunteer in Loma Bonita. Luckily, the market had the number for a local cab driver, and we got an inexpensive ride (maybe for $2, I can't remember) back to our place for the night. We stayed in an empty room of one of the community members' home for $4 a person. No electricity, no hot water, no cell service, but it's amazing how you don't need any of this to enjoy a nice meal with good people. I fell asleep content and tired out from the day's hikes.
Notes about traveling in Ojo de Agua and Loma Bonita:
Loma Bonita does have a great start to an eco lodge, which they built with an ecotourism grant, but it does not have beds and is not up and running yet.
The local woman who I stayed with made beautiful woven hats and of course I had to get one. These beautifully woven hats can take weeks or months to make and are worn by many Panamanian men.
Currently, Ojo de Agua doesn't have any official hotel or place to stay either. If you rent a car, it would be a good idea to rent a SUV with four wheel drive as some of the smaller roads are not paved, are quite steep, and can get slippery after it rains. Penonome is a much larger city and is not too far away. It may be the best option for nearby accommodations.

Thanks for this writer, from probably the most unlikely of sources The Ukraine, who I had never heard of earlier than despite being a client (and browser) of these titles for a very long time, the guide has recently come out so this can be a moot level. This creator and guide hits the nail on the top, is brief and to the point – minimal fluff, yet quite a few examples and delivers precisely what the e book advertising promises. Truly the guide presents many tools to provide you with enterprise ideas and makes you suppose in lots of tangents when you have an concept. I hope to revisit this evaluation at a later level and will be accessing Andrii's other work wherein I also have an interest. Thanks again and thanks Amazon.
Do not confine your pondering to these experiences you could have had at work, though. Think about the abilities you've developed outdoors of labor too. Particularly, what do you most take pleasure in doing when you are not working and what would you ideally love to spend extra time doing? It could be sports activities associated, voluntary work or just a hobby, however importantly this pastime might contain additional abilities.

I failed an MBA class. I'm proud of myself.
Well, not for failing the course. That is a bit bewildering. I aced papers in the other class. The class where the papers are marked by the former Dean of the program. There's a 17 percent discrepancy. Apparently my goals were not "specific" enough in the final paper. I'm mystified because I defined when they would be achieved and how I could prove this, but there you have it, not specific enough. Since I wasn't giving out the grades, my logic doesn't much matter.
Anyway. That's not why I'm proud of myself.
When I was doing my undergrad, failing a course would have sent me into a tailspin. I would have hidden for days. Shame would have moved in, taken over and held me hostage. It would have been the end of the world.
My identity was academic success. Failing meant that I was stupid. Being stupid was the end of the world.
This time I looked at all the things I do well, all the personal and professional success, and I shrugged. Failing a course is not a big deal. It's going to be a pain in the ass to make it up. It's going to be expensive. Eh. It's only time and money. Not the end of the world. I let the shame go. When it tried to come in the front door, I stood and barred the way.
This time I sent the program co-ordinator an email. Booked some time with the instructor to review the feedback. Sent my paper to my writing coach. When I didn't like the answer about how to make good on the course (effectively re-take the course) I appealed to the program head. I knew I wasn't going to get anywhere. I have a great argument for the option I presented them (re-write a harder paper, equivalent to re-taking a final exam had there been one), but this really is a cash grab on the part of my university. They have me over a barrel and they know it; they are not going to give up a couple of thousand dollars.
Mostly what I'm proud about is that I did all of that.
I acknowledged I failed, did what I could to understand why (it turns out if you are writing about leadership goals in this program, your goal is to get a maximum rating on the emotional intelligence ranking of your performance appraisal. Anything else is not specific enough). There was a hoop, I missed the hoop. I've actually always sucked at academic hoops. This is nothing new. It pissed me off during undergrad and it infuriates me now.
I failed the course. I proved that I have learned a few things since my undergrad days. That's worth a lot.

Yeshua' (?)
Yeshua' (?): what do the experts say about the name (Cross, Naveh, Pfann, Puech, Rahmani, Yardeni et al.)
1) The yodh is difficult to identify. Neither stroke (see black strokes in fig. 1) that has been suggested resembles the yodh of Yehosef (black, fig. 2).
2) What is taken to be a shin (blue) has an exceedingly long tail.
3) The top of the waw (green, fig. 1) seems to have a hooked head however this in no way resembles the single stroke used to form a waw later in the name Yehosef (green, fig. 2).
4) The diagonal stroke of the proposed ayin (red) is longer than usual. But the most unsual factors are: a) the letter incorporates an earlier vertical stroke (yellow) made by another tool. b) The ayin itself is written over and intersects with the vertical downstrokes of not just one but two preceding letters proposed by Rahmani, the shin (blue) and the waw (green). This is almost unheard of.
5) Various additional scratches may be remnants of an earlier inscription. (identifications subject to further scientific analysis)
fig. 1, Yeshua (?)
fig. 2, Yehosef
These unusual features along with the numerous other scratches and strokes made by at least one other tool in and around the inscription certainly justifies the need for the question mark "?".

How Guerrilla Projection can contribute to the Fashion Revolution: TED talk from Ismael Ferdous
It's Fashion Revolution week this week. Today is the fourth anniversary of the deadly Rana Plaza collapse in Savar, Bangladesh. We've been working closely with Fashion Revolution almost from the start, our CEO Ian being a member of its Global Coordination Team. followthethings.com brings to Fashion Revolution a keen interest in cultural activism, its creation, discussion and impacts, This week we will be sharing each day a form of cultural activism that has made significant contributions to the movement.
Today's post shows how photographs from the Rana Plaza site in the hours and days after the collapse were used to engage consumers and shame brands and retailers who refused to acknowledge that their clothes were being made there at the time. In this 2014 TED talk, Bangladeshi documentary photographer Ismael Ferdous talks about those he took on the day and what he did with them when he took them to New York. Guerrilla Projection is the activist tactic. This is moving, inspiring, troubling work.

Guest blog: Dear iPhone Girl
Here's another excellent example of journal writing from the Exeter Geography module behind our website. At the start of the module, we ask the students to add to their phone homescreens this photo of an Apple factory worker which, it seems, was accidentally left on an iPhone bought in 2009. The person who found this and four other photos posted them online and the quest to find out who she was, why photos of her were on that phone, and what would happen to her after they went pubic went viral (as documented on our followthethings.com page). We ask our students to keep her photo on their homescreens until the end of the module, for almost 4 months. What can happen to you when she looks at you every time you look at your phone, wherever you go? Sophie Woolf explains… to the person who became known as 'iPhone Girl'.
10 years ago, the drama of international trade began to unfold on a Devon beach…
In January 2007, the drama of the MSC Napoli container shipwreck was unfolding on the East Devon coast. Our CEO Ian wrote a book chapter about this with Divya Tolia Kelly. This wreck provided vivid insights into the hidden geographies of international trade. It was published in 2010, and made available freely online without the photographs. In 2013, we re-created these photos in LEGO, although the pieces we had available meant that 100% faithful re-creations were impossible. Here's the chapter and below are the re-creations, adapted for the 10th anniversary. What can they add to our understanding of what happened? That's the question for those who practice Political LEGO.
See here for the original set on Flickr, with links to the photos re-created.
Do 'follow the thing' documentaries affect their audiences?
This is one of the questions that drives our work at followthethings.com. We tend to find our answers – yes, no, maybe, depends, etc… – in the user-generated comments on video-sharing websites like YouTube and in the comments on newspaper reviews. We're currently wading through thousands of comments on a 2015 'follow the fashion' film called The True Cost, and came across this powerful video response. We're giving a paper about the True Cost and fashion activism at a conference next month. There's an argument in the literature that work like this makes prescriptive arguments about responsibility that are so infinitely demanding they can generate a sense of powerlessness in consumer audiences. This doesn't seem to be the case, at least for this viewer. Watching this film was a powerful experience. For us, this kind of response changes the question that's asked. Now it's 'how do 'follow the things' documentaries affect their audiences? What vocabulary can we develop to describe this? That's what we're working on.
Fashion Revolution call for papers at RGS(IBG) annual conference
We're involved in running a session at the Royal Geographical Society (Institute of British Geography) annual conference this summer whose aim is to bring academic fashion experts into dialogue with the Fashion Revolution movement. We're asking how fashion research can contribute to what is becoming a worldwide movement for a more ethical / sustainable fashion industry in the wake of the Rana Plaza factory collapse in April 2013. We're looking for academic research from any discipline that can contribute to Fashion Revolution's five year planning. Here's what we're doing. Please get in touch with Ian, Lousie and/or Alex to discuss any ideas. The deadline for abstracts is Friday 12th February.
– Call for papers –
Scholar activism and the Fashion Revolution: 'who made my clothes?'
The collapse of the Rana Plaza factory complex on April 24th 2013, which crushed to death over 1,000 people making clothes for Western brands, was a final straw, a call to arms, for significant change in the fashion industry. Since then, tens of thousands of people have taken to social media, to the streets, to their schools and halls of government to uncover the lives hidden in the clothes we wear. Businesses, consumers, governments, academics, NGOS and others working towards a safer, cleaner and more just future for the fashion industry have been galvanised.
A pig in a hundred pieces: Christien Meindertsma
If you have been looking for a go-to explanation of the 'follow the thing' approach to material culture studies, this is your lucky post. Here artist and designer Christien Meindertsma – author of PIG05049 – explains it beautifully.
If you're curious about PIG05049, we posted her TED talk on it here. She explains more in this video, too.

Dark Doily
Lucky for me the initial interest in the piece was not feigned and the first one is going out to a new home today and I now have a second one already listed. Of course I started the necklace attempt again and that should be finished and ready to list today. I do also now have one necklace in queue to be remade as I had finally made a sale after a week long drought yesterday morning. If I get those two thing accomplished, I was thinking I might try out a few other medallion patterns and see if any of them is also suited to this cuff concept. Other than that I expect a nice event free day.

Doctor Who: Shada (1979) [DVD]
Christmas Day was a very Doctor Who affair this year. Not only was there the official Christmas special in which Peter Capaldi handed over the reins to Jodie Whittaker, I also spent the afternoon watching the latest Blu-ray release direct from 1979 – "a little later than planned" as the introduction wittily explains.
The six-part serial "Shada" has legendary status among Doctor Who fans. Intended as the final story to season 17 of the classic series, it's the only one in the 54 years of the show's history to fail to make it to air. Of course there have been all manner of story ideas that even made it as far as being commissioned as scripts, but none have actually started filming only to be abandoned midway through.
That's what happened to "Shada". Industrial action saw the plug pulled after initial location filming in Cambridge and the completion of the first of three recording blocks back at BBC Television Centre. All the extant footage was carefully stored away, but with series stars Tom Baker and Lalla Ward departing the show the following year there was no opportunity to go back and remount the production in order to complete the missing scenes. The existing material has been released in various forms over the years, including a VHS version with linking narration covering the missing scenes supplied by Baker. There was an animated version rewritten to star the Seventh Doctor (Paul McGann) and more recently a novelization of Douglas Adams' scripts by Gareth Roberts. Read the rest of this entry »
