I'm not sure why the amount of money spent by developers means anything.

They will make significant profits from this project, and would in fact have made profits without the city TIF.

I agree that they should have been able to figure out how much space they needed from the beginning, and presented that accurately.

The building clearly does not fit with the neighborhood, and the city should have either declined to issue permits, or turned down the request for TIF.

Ancient Origins of Plywood
Archeologists have found traces of laminated wood in the tombs of the Egyptian pharaohs. A thousand years ago, the Chinese shaved wood and glued it together for use in furniture. The English and French are reported to have worked wood on the general principle of plywood in the 17th and 18th centuries. And historians credit Czarist Russia for having made forms of plywood prior to the 20th century as well. Early modern-era plywood was typically made from decorative hardwoods and most commonly used in the manufacture of household items, such as cabinets, chests, desk tops and doors. Construction plywood made from softwood species did not appear on the scene until the 20th century.

Plywood Patented, Then Forgotten
The first patent for what could be called plywood was issued December 26, 1865, to John K. Mayo of New York City. A re-issue of that patent, dated August 18, 1868, described Mayo’s development as follows: “The invention consists in cementing or otherwise fastening together a number of these scales of sheets, with the grain of the successive pieces, or some of them, running crosswise or diversely from that of the others…” Mayo may have had a vision but apparently not much business sense since history does not record that he ever capitalized on his patents.

1905: An Industry Is Born
In 1905, the city of Portland, Oregon was getting ready to host a World’s Fair as part of the 100th anniversary celebration of the Lewis and Clark Expedition. Several local businesses were asked to prepare exhibits for the event, including Portland Manufacturing Company, a small wooden box factory in the St. Johns district of the city. Part owner and plant manager Gustav Carlson decided to laminate wood panels from a variety of Pacific Northwest softwoods. Using paint brushes as glue spreaders and house jacks as presses, several panels were laid up for display. Called “3-ply veneer work,” the product created considerable interest among fairgoers, including several door, cabinet and trunk manufacturers who then placed orders. By 1907, Portland Manufacturing had installed an automatic glue spreader and a sectional hand press. Production soared to 420 panels a day. And an industry was born.

There is nothing better than to wake up to the noise of earth movers as opposed to adderal, retalin fed ku students partying all nite. Nothing better than to finally see one of the whored out neighborhoods getting class aka the hotel. Forget the smell of flowers on campus, what's so lovely about an ugly fountain displaying the wealth of a banking family? Dirt moving, dieself fuel smell and dust in the air is the making of a reallly NEW neighborhood , long overdue. Watch out coo, you may need depends when the next project comes along and you pee your pants, dreaming in the night and worrying about the demise of a 1/2 baked sub sandwhich shop.

Hope those top flooors of condos have removable walls to make room for another 50 rooms down the road. AFter all, Lawrence is losing out to real hotel development withthe casinos coming on line to the east. My choice is Hard Rock Hotel casino. Watch the Lawrence dollars flow out of town then. Thanks to our dumbwitted Chamber, Lawrence could have had what is going east of Tongie along with the new turnpike exit as well. professer marvel, I am developmentally disabled, hope you aren't talking about me as one of them “friends” How dumb of me.

The smell of diesel fuel is the smell of progress. A dog that doesn' bite or bark, is a sick dog and there are plenty of them in the so called “neighborhoods”. A dog is a representation of it's owner ' therefore a sick dog belongs to an ailing owner. Nothing worse than an ailing owner of a sick dog to be living in a prostituted neighborhood where the neighborhood group believes they are “Father knows best”. All this fuss about the hotel is just that. The real impact on Lawrence will be the casinos going toward the Racetrack. There will be snap, crackle and pop when they open. Those poor souls at the homeless shelter aren't homeless either. They have for many of them decided to be drunk all day and night, not pay their share of their subsidizned rent and hence get evicted. Too bad that those who live in quiet neighborhoods, with dogs that don't bite and bark, too bad they don't get out their “neighborhood” and see what life is really all about. Smell the diesel fuel, see the results of a city government that has whored and prostituted five target neighborhoods a the expense of it's very residents. And the blame falls upon the leaders of the neighborhood groups who have had nothing but their own self interests at hand, living in their quiet house, with the non barking dog.. The sick dog that needs to be put down, just as the neighborhood groups should be. Bring on the bulldozers ,no reason to “send in the clowns” as they are already here.

Sure is a beautiful day. I loved the sprinkles earlier.

I love my dog, and I pity any hateful lonely old goat of a man who think that snarling and biting and barking are what dogs are for. And any old lonely man who wants a dog put down is a pathetic person. I will pray for him.

Men who are single old bitter goats tend you use sexual vocabulary, have you noticed? Like “prostitutes,” and “whores” and such. It seems that some old men are conditioned to pay for any pleasure in life, so they use this vocabulary frequently.

My neighborhood is not near diesel and fumes and such, or any angry lonely old men trying to make money from development. But my dog loves to say hello to all the schoolchildren and neighbors.

Thank you to all who make this community so special.

Heat lightning is a misnomer for the faint flashes of lightning on the horizon or other clouds from distant thunderstorms that do not have accompanying sounds of thunder. Heat lightning was named because it often occurs on hot summer nights, and to distinguish it from lightning with accompanying thunder. Heat lightning can be an early warning sign that thunderstorms are approaching. In Florida, heat lightning is often seen out over the water at night, the remnants of storms that formed during the day along a sea breeze front coming in from the opposite coast.

There are two possible reasons for the lack of thunder. In some cases, the thunderstorm may be too distant to hear the associated thunder from the lightning discharge. Thunder rarely travels more than 10 miles. Other cases can be explained by the refraction of sound by bodies of air with different densities. An observer may see nearby lightning, but the sound from the discharge is refracted over his head by a change in the temperature, and therefore the density, of the air around him. As a result, the lightning discharge seems to be silent. There is evidence that suggests some cases of heat lightning are, in fact, slow, diffuse discharges of electricity.

YouTube was founded by Chad Hurley, Steve Chen and Jawed Karim, who were all early employees of PayPal. Prior to PayPal, Hurley studied design at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. Chen and Karim studied computer science together at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.The domain name “YouTube.com” was activated on February 15, 2005, and the website was developed over the subsequent months. The creators offered the public a preview of the site in May 2005, six months before YouTube made its official debut.

Like many technology startups, YouTube was started as an angel-funded enterprise from a makeshift office in a garage. In November 2005, venture firm Sequoia Capital invested an initial $3.5 million; additionally, Roelof Botha, partner of the firm and former CFO of PayPal, joined the YouTube board of directors. In April 2006, Sequoia put an additional $8 million into the company, which had experienced huge popular growth within its first few months.

During the summer of 2006, YouTube was one of the fastest growing websites on the Web,[6] and was ranked the 5th most popular website on Alexa, far out pacing even MySpace's rate of growth. According to a July 16, 2006 survey, 100 million video clips are viewed daily on YouTube, with an additional 65,000 new videos uploaded every 24 hours. The website averages nearly 20 million visitors per month, according to Nielsen/NetRatings,where around 44% are female, 56% male, and the 12- to 17-year-old age group is dominant.YouTube's pre-eminence in the online video market is substantial. According to the website Hitwise .com, YouTube commands up to 64% of the UK online video market.

Certainly “Oread” is a good poem for Oppen to have chosen for his critique, as perhaps the single most anthologized H.D. poem as well as one which Pound singled out as an exemplum of Imagism. And it is such an exemplum; it is short, direct, definitely without “slither.” And yet it seems ultimately to revolve around something other than either Oppen's ideal of accurate perception or Pound's demand for “objectivity” as a poetic ideal:

Whirl up, sea—
whirl your pointed pines,
splash your great pines
on our rocks,
hurl your green over us,
cover us with your pools of fir.

Of course, in the terms Oppen establishes, this poem does depend on a fallacy; the speaker given by the title, the Oread, a mountain nymph, by her very act of speech—by giving “advice” to the sea—projects a consciousness into something which must otherwise remain outside of the terms of the human. Still, H.D.'s distance here from rigorous vision is not exactly the failure of accuracy implied by Oppen's critique, but the sign of a fundamentally different poetics. As Susan Stanford Friedman has pointed out, “… 'Oread' and most of H.D.'s imagist poems are phenomenological in emphasis; they are poems about consciousness, not the world of objects external to consciousness” (Psyche Reborn 56). More radically, I would suggest, it is not concerned at all with either the sea or the fir trees as such, but with a complex set of identifications of the self with the activities and objects of the poem. It simply is not the poem Oppen—or, for that matter, classical Imagism—assumes it to be.

Website Hits Are Shoddy Data, Now More Than Ever

Knowledge of how easily statistics can be manipulated is no longer, in this information age, just the purview of researchers. Consumers, too, are probably aware that “four out of five dentists agree” is somehow orchestrated by an eager young PR practitioner.

Hits are simple and accessible measures of value, but they of course can be corrupted via concentrated campaigns or self promotion. These range from the benign, such as gratuitously plugging your band, trolling for friends in social networking sites, or even rickrolling, to the well-funded, strategic ones.

An easement is the right or freedom to do something or the right to prevent someone else from doing something over the real property of another. At common law, an easement came to be treated as a property right in itself and is still treated as a kind of property by most jurisdictions. In some jurisdictions, another term for easement is equitable servitude, although easements do not have their origin in equity.

The right is often described as the right to use the land of another for a special purpose. Unlike a lease, an easement does not give the holder a right of “possession” of the property, only a right of use. It is distinguished from a licence that only gives one a personal privilege to do something even more limited on the land of another. An example of a license is the right to park a car in a parking lot with the consent of the parking lot owner. Licences in general can be terminated by the property owner much more easily than easements. This is similar to but not the same as a wayleave. Easements also differ from licences in that most easements (“easements appurtenant”) are attached to and benefit another parcel of land, not a specific person. This means that a property that enjoys an easement over another will continue to enjoy the easement even if the property gets transferred to a different owner. Other easements (“easements in gross”) benefit a specific person.

Easement concepts differ substantially from country to country, and in the U.S. from state to state. Historically, it was limited to the right-of-way and rights over flowing waters, although this is no longer true. Traditionally, it was a right that could only attach to an adjacent land and was for the benefit of all, not a specific person; this is also no longer true in many jurisdictions.

Asphalt or bitumen can sometimes be confused with tar, which is a similar black thermo-plastic material produced by the destructive distillation of coal. During the early and mid twentieth century when town gas was produced, tar was a readily available product and extensively used as the binder for road aggregates. The addition of tar to macadam roads led to the word tarmac, which is now used in common parlance to refer to road making materials. However, since the 1970s, when natural gas succeeded town gas, asphalt (bitumen) has completely overtaken the use of tar in these applications.

Asphalt can be separated from the other components in crude oil (such as naphtha, gasoline and diesel) by the process of fractional distillation, usually under vacuum conditions. A better separation can be achieved by further processing of the heavier fractions of the crude oil in a de-asphalting unit, which uses either propane or butane in a supercritical phase to dissolve the lighter molecules which are then separated. Further processing is possible by “blowing” the product: namely reacting it with oxygen. This makes the product harder and more viscous.

Natural deposits of asphalt include lake asphalts (primarily from the Pitch Lake in Trinidad and Tobago and Bermudez Lake in Venezuela), Gilsonite, the Dead Sea between Israel & Jordan, and Tar Sands.

Asphalt is typically stored and transported at temperatures around 150 degrees Celsius (300 °F). Sometimes diesel oil or kerosene are mixed in before shipping to retain liquidity; upon delivery, these lighter materials are separated out of the mixture. This mixture is often called bitumen feedstock, or BFS. Some dump trucks route the hot engine exhaust through pipes in the dump body to keep the material warm. The backs of tippers carrying asphalt, as well as some handling equipment, are also commonly sprayed with a releasing agent before filling to aid release. Diesel oil is sometimes used as a release agent, although it can mix with and thereby reduce the quality of the asphalt.

“The word duck (from Anglo-Saxon dūce), meaning the bird, came from the verb “to duck” (from Anglo-Saxon supposed *dūcan) meaning “to bend down low as if to get under something” or “to dive”, because of the way many species in the dabbling duck group feed by upending (compare Dutch duiken, German tauchen = “to dive”).

This happened because the older Anglo-Saxon words ened (= “duck”) and ende (= “end”) came to be pronounced the same: other Germanic languages still have similar words for “duck” and “end”: for example, Dutch eend = “duck”, eind = “end”, German ente = “duck”, ende = “end”; this similarity goes back to Indo-European: compare Latin anas (stem anat-) = “duck”, Lithuanian antis = “duck”, Ancient Greek νησσα, νηττα (nēssa, nētta) = “duck”; Sanskrit anta = “end”.

Some people use “duck” specifically for adult females and “drake” for adult males, for the species described here; others use “hen” and “drake”, respectively.

A duckling is a young duck in downy plumage[1] or baby duck.[2]; but in the food trade young adult ducks ready for roasting are sometimes labelled “duckling”.”

A dingbat, is a type of architecturally undistinguished apartment building that flourished in the Sun Belt region of the United States in the 1950s and 1960s. Dingbats are boxy, two- or three-story apartment houses with overhangs sheltering street-front parking. The elevation view of a dingbat is “half parking structure, half dumb box.”

Particularly popular in southern California, but also found in Arizona, Florida, Hawaii, Nevada and Vancouver they are known for their downmarket status and inexpensive rents. They are currently experiencing a minor sentimental renaissance thanks to the mid-century modern design return to vogue. In spite of their serviceability as functional, affordable housing, and the niche appeal of their trappings and trim, dingbats are widely reviled as socially alienating visual blights; California historian Leonard Pitt said of them, “The dingbat typifies Los Angeles apartment architecture at its worst.”
The origin of the term dingbat is much debated; the only thing known for sure is that the appellation arrived after the buildings themselves. The first textual reference was made by Reyner Banham in Los Angeles: The Architecture of Four Ecologies (1971); he credits the coining to architect Francis Ventre and describes them.

“…[Dingbats] are normally a two-story walk-up apartment-block developed back over the full depth of the site, built of wood and stuccoed over. These are the materials that Rudolf Schindler and others used to build the first modern architecture in Los Angeles, and the dingbat, left to its own devices, often exhibits the basic characteristics of a primitive modern architecture. Round the back, away from the public gaze, they display simple rectangular forms and flush smooth surfaces, skinny steel columns and simple boxed balconies, and extensive overhangs to shelter four or five cars…”

The word is sometimes said to reference dingbat in the sense of a “general term of disparagement,” referring to either the flawed buildings themselves or the builders or even the residents.

Classification of easements
Public easements versus private easements

Easements may be considered public or private. A private easement is limited to specific individuals or entities such as the owner of an adjoining land. A public easement is one that grants the right to a large group of individuals or to the public in general, such as the easement on public streets and highways, known as a Right of Way.

Appurtenant easements compared to easements in gross

In the U.S., an easement appurtenant is one that benefits the dominant tenement (i.e. attached to adjoining land), as compared to an easement in gross that is personal to holder of the easement and does not pass automatically to another person when the easement holder's property is sold and bought.

An easement in gross is one that is attached to an individual person or legal entity rather than a parcel of real estate served by the easement. This easement can be personal (like an easement to use one's boat ramp) or commercial (like an easement given to a railway company to build and maintain a rail line across one's property) in nature. In earlier times, easements in gross were considered neither assignable nor inheritable, but today, most courts hold that commercially oriented easements in fee are freely alienable. This is not true in England and Wales where easements cannot be in gross. See also Profit-a-Prendre.

Zoning

Theoretically, the primary purpose of zoning is to segregate uses that are thought to be incompatible; in practice, development from harming existing residents or businesses. Zoning is commonly controlled by local governments such as counties or municipalities, though the nature of the zoning regime may be determined by state or national planning authorities. In Australia, land under the control of the Commonwealth (Federal) government is not subject to state planning controls. The United States and other federal countries are similar.

Zoning may include regulation of the kinds of activities which will be acceptable on particular lots (such as open space, residential, agricultural, commercial or industrial), the densities at which those activities can be performed (from low-density housing such as single family homes to high-density such as high-rise apartment buildings), the height of buildings, the amount of space structures may occupy, the location of a building on the lot (setbacks), the proportions of the types of space on a lot (for example, how much landscaped space and how much paved space), and how much parking must be provided. The details of how individual planning systems incorporate zoning into their regulatory regimes varies though the intention is always similar. For example, in the state of Victoria, Australia, land use zones are combined with a system of planning scheme overlays to account for the multiplicity of factors that impact on desirable urban outcomes in any location.

Most zoning systems have a procedure for granting variances (exceptions to the zoning rules), usually because of some perceived hardship caused by the particular nature of the property in question.

appurtenant adj. pertaining to something that attaches. In real property law this describes any right or restriction which goes with that property, such as an easement to gain access across the neighbor's parcel, or a covenant (agreement) against blocking the neighbor's view. Thus, there are references to appurtenant easement or appurtenant covenant. (See: real property, easement)

Law schools.

Law schools in Canada, Australia, and the United States typically require three years of study after completing an undergraduate degree. Programs which offer part-time study or joint-degree programs may last four or more years such as the joint BA/LL.B or BA/JD programs in Australia and Canada. Upon graduation from law school, students are awarded a professional degree, the Juris Doctor (J.D.) or Doctor of Law degree in the U.S. or the Bachelor of Laws (LL.B.; or, from the University of Toronto and Queen's University, a J.D.) in Common law Canada and Bachelor of Civil Law (B.C.L) in Civil Law Canada (Quebec) and some schools in Louisiana. While rarely obtained, the academic doctoral degree in law (equivalent to a Ph.D. in other fields) is the Doctor of Juridical Science (S.J.D.) in the U.S. or the Doctorate of Laws (LL.D.) in Canada. Some U.S. and Canadian schools also offer a Master of Laws (LL.M.) program, often targeted at training foreign lawyers in U.S. law but occasionally an academic degree for post-J.D. study focusing on a specialized field (such as tax law).

In addition to attending law school, in most jurisdictions a graduate of a law school is required to pass the state or provincial bar examination in order to practice law. The Multistate Bar Examination is part of the bar examination in almost all United States jurisdictions; generally, the standardized, common law subject matter of the Multistate exam is combined with state-specific essay questions to produce a comprehensive bar examination.

As a formal science, logic investigates and classifies the structure of statements and arguments, both through the study of formal systems of inference and through the study of arguments in natural language. The field of logic ranges from core topics such as the study of validity, fallacies and paradoxes, to specialized analysis of reasoning using probability and to arguments involving causality. Logic is also commonly used today in argumentation theory.

Traditionally, logic was considered a branch of philosophy, a part of the classical trivium of grammar, logic, and rhetoric. Since the mid-nineteenth century formal logic has been studied in the context of foundations of mathematics, where it was often called symbolic logic. In 1903 Alfred North Whitehead and Bertrand Russell attempted to establish logic formally as the cornerstone of mathematics with the publication of Principia Mathematica. However, except for the elementary part, the system of Principia is no longer much used, having been largely superseded by set theory. At the same time the developments in the field of Logic since Frege, Russell and Wittgenstein had a profound influence on both the practice of philosophy and the ideas concerning the nature of philosophical problems especially in the English speaking world (see Analytic philosophy). As the study of formal logic expanded, research no longer focused solely on foundational issues, and the study of several resulting areas of mathematics came to be called mathematical logic. The development of formal logic and its implementation in computing machinery is fundamental to computer science. Logic is now widely taught by university philosophy departments, more often than not as a compulsory discipline for their students, especially in the English speaking world.

I think that the pictures of the new Oread Inn are amazing and I am looking forward to the Inn's completion. It will be a nice place to house out of town guest for business meetings, have business meetings and opportunities to bring in more conventions and groups to campus for their annual meetings. There are always the group of people that hate to see progress, but would moan and grip if we went back in time and they had to slice their own bread again. Things change, technology changes, buildings go up…. Embrace it, and move on…. All this griping and complaining will just leave you grouchy looking at a beautiful hotel that will go up regardless what you throw a tantrum about.

The website cool is plugging is part of a certain odious local 'forum' where you can see examples of juvenile personal attacks. If that's what you're all about, I'd recommend going through proxify dot com if you want to check it out.
