A Versatile & Dynamic Facility
Athletes & casual fitness enthusiasts alike will benefit from this proposed 135,000 SF Field House Addition. The dynamic facility is designed to host multiple events at the same time. This means that students in activities such as track, basketball, volleyball, wrestling, dance, football, cheerleading and aerobics will compete in their sport rather than with each other for facility space.
Overlooking the Field House will be a 9,000 SF Fitness Facility, featuring state of the art cardio and training equipment.
The 30,000 SF synthetic turf Auxiliary Gym will extend the season for a variety of field sports, promising the Vikings an elite-level, competitive edge.
Connecting to the Campus
The High School is set on a picturesque, park like setting complete with trees, a pond and a sculpture garden. The stone accents and natural features influence the design of the new Sports & Rec Center. The atrium will consolidate entry for the entire building making it a defining feature of the campus.
The Viking’s brand personality and colors are being incorporated throughout.
A Gold Standard
With an eye towards life-cycle cost savings, the new facility will be energy and resource efficient.
The design is LEED Registered with a certification goal of Gold. This high standard will be accomplished by incorporating a mix of energy saving features such as high efficiency lighting, daylight harvesting, carefully designed mechanical systems and occupancy sensors. Along with great views, the facility will provide a high indoor air quality and will exhibit improved interior acoustics, all contributing to a healthy and enhanced learning environment for students, teachers and staff.
Controls will be provided to allow for individual adjustment of thermal comfort and lighting in regularly occupied spaces. The combination of skylights, perimeter windows, light sensors and energy efficient light fixtures will allow the facility to be lit naturally during the day and gradually transition to the light fixtures as it gets darker. .
You may imagine him chained to his view camera, but "well-known pro Ansel Adams" was in reality a bit of a gear hound like the rest of us. Here he's taken up the Hasselblad 500C just a year after its introduction. (Also, remember he was an official advisor to Polaroid and wrote books about it.)
He had a long relationship with Zeiss products—shooting this famous 1937 image with a handheld Contax. I can't find the reference, but the Super Ikonta B he picked up was "commandeered" by his wife Virginia for family photos. But especially in later years, the Hasselblad seems to have been his regular (lift-able) companion, used for the graffiti image from his 80th year which closes his book Examples: The Making of 40 Photographs.
Earth Designs Garden Design and Build were asked to created a landscape and propose garden design in Acton, London*. Here are the details of the project
Brief: The plot for this design was a mid-size family garden, which had recently benefited from the addition of a large sunroom on the back of the property. It was a fairly blank canvas, with nothing of note to be retained in the re-design. The garden had side access and worn boundary fences which required replacing. There was no clear brief other than that the design include a seating area and some lawn, and that the transition from sunroom to garden be fairly seamless.
Solution: The focus of this design was to create an exterior space that serves as an extension to the interior, featuring several distinct and versatile areas that can be adapted to a variety of uses.
The garden's boundaries were replaced with new fencing to provide a uniform and attractive backdrop to the transformation within, while the long sideway down the right of the house was renovated with the addition of attractive 'bamboo' slate tile flooring in a random lay pattern.
The first section of the space comprises a large area of Western Red Cedar decking adjoining the house, and offers ample room for entertaining, with a long L-shaped fixed-bench seat stretching width-ways across the space from the left-hand side to the centre. This was backed with a rendered block raised bed, planted with fragrant lavender and capped with 'bamboo' slate tile, to provide a sense of enclosure and separation from the rest of the garden.
A decked walkway running down the right hand side of the space provides access to a 'spa' area, featuring a large square hot tub housed upon a reinforced paved hard-standing and nestled between existing and additional trees, shrubs and foliage to provide a secluded and intimate area for bathing throughout the seasons. Hidden behind mature and new planting in the bottom left corner, a large shed provides ample storage for the client's garden accessories. The middle of the space has been given over to a large lawn edges with slate.
A purple and yellow planting scheme of soft, cottage-style evergreen shrubs and flowering perennials will help to bring year round lightness and subtle colouring to the space.
After-dark hot tub bathing is enhanced by several strings of pea-lights woven through the existing shrubbery. Deck lights demark the main area of decking and guide one's journey along the decked walkway. Finally, spot lights in the beds highlight certain area while providing a gentle wash throughout the space.
Testimonial: "After months of planning and a full year of having builders everywhere, we had finally got the house into good shape but the garden was a nightmare. It had been somewhat overgrown before the builders moved in, but after a year of being used as a builders yard, it needed shock treatment.
We needed help fast so we searched the web. We were looking for garden designers with creative ideas for smaller London gardens. We didn't want anything too traditional but at the same time, nothing too extreme.
Earth Designs fitted the bill and after a design session with Katrina, we engaged them for the project. They had offered us a design service only, but as we only had a 4 week window in which to complete the job, we gave them the whole project.
We had built a new extension with wide glass doors that opened out into the garden, so the brief to Earth Designs was to "bring the outside, inside" and create a strong link between the new room and the garden beyond. The actual garden space was not large so we wanted to use the space as an extension of the living space - to be an "outside room".
Monday 18th April and three very charming men arrived on our doorstep at 8.0am sharp. Arlo was the project manager, ably aided and abetted by Paul and Phillip. They worked brilliantly as a team and always hit all the deadlines. In particular they did a great job in working with our neighbours to ensure the whole project ran smoothly.
The first week involved clearing the site - no mean feat with 30-year-old ivy stems that looked more like tree trunks.
The second week involved levelling the garden, putting up new fencing, building the corner seating base and planters, plus marking out the garden shape. It was good to be able to make minor changes to the design on the ground at this stage. The hot tub arrived too and was winched into place for connection later.
Week 3 saw the decking and seating built.
Then in week four the turf arrived, the lawn went down and on the last day, Katrina arrived with a truckload of wonderful specimens (and Matt) and we had a wonderful time planting. Ground Force Mk II - a complete garden from start to finish in just 4 weeks!
There were a few things that needed to be sorted out after the main work was complete. Earth Designs were great about coming back until all was complete and finished.
Our thanks to Katrina, Matt, Arlo, Paul and Phillip for a great job, completed on time and on budget with a great looking result."

Roadside Attraction is a versatile new work housed in and around a vintage Seventies-era pop-up camper that has been retro-fitted to become the stage and setting for a new dance/theater performance
Designed to be shown virtually anywhere, indoors or out, Roadside Attraction is a family vacation that steps back in time to when Supertramp was on the radio, Connect Four was on the folding table and frisky business was in the bunks. Mom’s red Candies clapped from the camper’s linoleum kitchen window before she emerged in her cheetah print bathing suit with matching blanket, her platinum wig blowing in the breeze.
Exploring expectations, acceptance, and the excruciating but illuminating identification with family role models, Roadside Attraction is a slice of nostalgic Americana, replete with lawn chairs, a picnic table, and all the trappings of a family that has been together on a road trip for far, far too long.
The work centers around the Mother, who dreams of a life beyond the hum-drum of suburban, middle-American family life. Her fantasies come alive in the form of an avatar, a glamorous, fabulous projection of herself who gets to do everything Mom only dreams of, from rekindling a failing relationship with Dad, to ogling her daughter's strapping young boyfriend. The resulting movement sequences careen over and through the camper and campsite, sparking unrequited desires that sometimes unravel into tender reconciliations. Quirky, humorous, and heartbreaking, the work skips between bubbles of pop music woven into a through-composed original score.
As a performance, Roadside Attraction is a dance/theater piece for eight performers that incorporates the intimate, quirky, stunning and startling choreographic sensibility that is the hallmark of Third Rail’s critically acclaimed dance/theater work. Directed and Choreographed by Jennine Willett, with Tom Pearson and Zach Morris, and created in collaboration with the company. Performers include: Elizabeth Carena, Rebekah Morin, Tara O'Con, Tori Sparks, Niko Tsocanos, and Carlton Cyrus Ward. Original music composition by Sean Hagerty, with Isaiah Singer and Elizabeth Carena, played live.

The versatility of the Lockheed Constellation airframe led to a number of modifications done by both the US Navy and the USAF, which generally shared the same EC-121 designation despite their different roles. Navy aircraft included the WV-2Q (EC-121M) electronic intelligence and WV-3 (WC-121N) weather reconnaissance aircraft. These lacked the radar domes of the WV-2/EC-121K and, in the case of the EC-121M, flew clandestine missions along the borders of the Eastern Bloc.
The USAF also modified a small number of Constellations into specialized variants, mostly testbeds identical to the standard EC-121D that tested the QRC-248 (“Quick Look”) and Rivet Gym (EC-121M) setups. Four were also briefly modified during the Cuban Missile Crisis as EC-121Q Gold Diggers, which tracked U-2 missions over Cuba. The largest number of modified Constellations, however, was the EC-121R, codenamed Batcat. Classified until the early 1980s, Batcat EC-121s were ex-Navy WV-2s and WV-3s supplied to the USAF and stripped off their radar domes. 25 Batcats were sent to Thailand, flying with the 553rd Reconnaissance Wing at Korat RTAFB, Thailand. Batcat’s role was to monitor and coordinate Operation Igloo White, the electronic surveillance of the Ho Chi Minh Trail from North Vietnam, through Laos and Cambodia, to the South.
Igloo White was the brainchild of Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara, who envisioned an “electronic fence” around South Vietnam, which would save on manpower (and money). Using sensors dropped by USAF and US Navy aircraft, the sensors would bury themselves in the ground around known traffic points along the Trail. These sensors would then detect truck traffic and other manmade sounds, relay the signals to Batcats on station, which in turn would relay them to American forward air controllers, who would call in airstrikes.
While Igloo White had its uses and was on occasion very successful, halting Trail traffic was more effectively done by the FACs themselves or by US/South Vietnamese Special Forces on the Trail itself. Batcat missions lasted eighteen hours, requiring the aircraft to have better air conditioning than the standard EC-121. The project was wound down with the American pullout beginning in 1970, with the Batcats supplemented by QU-22 “Baby Bat” two-man aircraft, and ended for good in December 1971. Two Batcats were lost in fatal accidents during the war; the 28 survivors were later scrapped.
The EC-121R can be instantly identified not only by its lack of radar domes, but also its Southeast Asia camouflage of two shades of green and brown over white; Batcats were the only Constellations to receive camouflage schemes. Due to its clandestine nature, recognition markings on Batcats was limited to its bureau number on the tail.

Breeze Kayak-is a very versatile day tripping kayak. The up-swept bow and fish form allow this small kayak to handle rough conditions with ease, while remaining nimble on flat water. The Breeze fits a broad size range of paddlers, is very stable and extremely user friendly. It comes with a secured buoyancy bag in the bow that gives the boat proper flotation. A bit beat up but still seaworthy.

I had to pick one of the Ophrydium versatile "blobs" up and spotted a little creature crawling in it. I have no idea what it was and could only imagine it crawling onto me.....which had about as much appeal as when the leech had bitten me on the foot. I'm not too squeamish but I do have limits :)

Quality is good - zoom in or go Large (press the L key) to see each pic nicely. Just like Linda's but hers are more artistic :-)
I thought that the photos in the Versatile challenge weren't getting their share of the fun. Flickr only pushes threads (discussions) to the top when it senses a new post. Because in this challenge we build up our post over the month, it only gets a showing on the days a new post is started.
I asked Linda if I could do a 'Versatile' montage. On saying yes I set to to have a go. This is pure DIY. A blank file, with downloaded files placed individually into place, saved, and titles added. The photos were different sizes so I shrunk them to make them all the same height - 500 pixels. This is my fourth go/version of the montage.
One photo per challenge (the challenge is to take a photo for each of the 10 subjects each month) - and at least one photo from everyones post.
Once I got this one finished and more or less presentable, I tried using the Photoshop E13 collage - a pathetic app. They probably sell better ones in their app store, but there is only the one in the program.
I tried the Picasa collage and it is also pathetic. I couldn't change the order - it worked the first time, but never again after that. I have a very low boredom threshold, and the computer is just this side of the bin. Grrrrr.

Jamis 2016 Ventura Race Drop Bar Road Bicycle.
A WINNING BIKE FOR EVERYONE Adventure Cycle 2464 Dufferin Street wwww.rbinc-sports.com
www.rbinc-sports.com/catalog/bikes/jamis-bikes/road/2016-...
Our Ventura Series bikes have won Bicycling’s coveted Editor’s Choice award numerous times. Which is why we offer the Race, Comp and Sport in both male and female specific packages.
GENDER SPECIFIC GEOMETRY
Our Ventura Femme versions offer women’s specific frame sizing & geometry and component selection, including anatomically adjusted top tube lengths, head & seat tube angles, fork rakes & women’s specific saddles, with handlebar, stem and crank lengths all dimensioned to optimally fit women for greater comfort & efficiency.
VERSATILE PERFORMANCE GEOMETRY
For a greater range of handlebar and rider positions, we’ve fitted the Ventura series frames with taller head tubes. Coupled with a slightly longer wheelbase and relaxed head tube angle, this results in confident, steering/handling and a more comfortable position for longer rides whether competitive or recreational.
TAPERED HEAD TUBE AND STEERER
By enlarging the bottom bearing of the head tube from 1 1/8” to 1.5”, not only are head tube stiffness and steering precision increased, but we have sufficient room in the crown to produce a truly hollow fork from the dropout, up through the crown and steer tube, which yields exceptional compaction quality for increased strength and reduced weight.
SST FOR THE RIGHT RIDE
For our Venturas, we construct our 44, 48, 51 & 54cm frames with 10% smaller outer diameter top and down tubes than we use on our 56, 58 & 61cm frames. The result is a more consistent ride quality across all frame sizes.
FULL CARBON MONOCOQUE FORKS

When I saw this sitting in the rain at Trader Joe's the other day I thought, "Cute -- a trike with a raincoat!"
Then I Googled Organic Transit. Turns out the ELF is a versatile, low carbon footprint pedal-powered vehicle that has a solar panel on top and can be driven three ways: pedal power alone; pedal power with electric assist; or electric alone. The battery recharges in 7 hours of sunlight, or 2-1/2 hours from an outlet. Pricey, but cool.

Dashing and strikingly versatile actor Jean-Claude Brialy (1933-2007) became a star in the late 1950’s when he was one of the best known faces of the Nouvelle Vague. He worked with such New Wave filmmakers as Claude Chabrol, Jean-Luc Godard, Louis Malle, and François Truffaut, and he also directed a number of films himself. It made him an embodiment of the French cinema for a global audience.
Jean-Claude Brialy was born in Aumale, French Algeria (now Sour El-Ghozlane, Algeria), in 1933. He was the son of Roger Brialy, a colonel stationed in colonial Algeria with the French Army, and Suzanne Abraham. At the age of nine, he went with his family to various cities in France, settling after the war in Strasbourg, where he took his baccalaureate. Brialy showed great promise in drama and won first prize at the Conservatoire de Strasbourg. He detested his strict upbringing, and acting became an early form of rebellion. He had violent arguments with his father, who once locked the 15-year-old boy in to prevent his attending rehearsals of a school play, Jean-Claude responded by smashing up the furniture. Against the wishes of his parents, he enrolled at the Centre Dramatique de l’Est (Eastern Centre of Dramatic Art in Strasbourg), to train to be an actor. Military service then intervened and Brialy found himself attached to an army film unit in the German town of Baden-Baden. There he made his first film, a short entitled Chiffonard et Bon Aloi. His job also enabled him to go to shows, and to meet actors, including Jean Marais. Demobilized, he moved to Paris in 1954. There he scratched a living by small roles on stage and entertaining the queues outside the first-run cinemas on the Champs Elysees. He became friendly with a group of young critics and aspiring filmmakers who were taking over the influential journal Cahiers du Cinéma. At 21, he joined a Cahiers outing to Arles to see Jean Renoir's stage production of Julius Caesar. He made his film debut in a short directed by one of the Cahiers critics, Le Coup du berger/Fool's Mate (1956, Jacques Rivette). Cahiers editor Eric Rohmer casted him as the lover in his 10-minute short La sonate à Kreutzer/The Kreutzer Sonata (1956), an adaptation of the short story by Tolstoy. Brialy appeared uncredited in two features by Louis Malle: Les Amants/The Lovers (1958, Louis Malle) and Ascenseur pour l’échafaud/ Elevator to the Gallows (1958, Louis Malle) both starring Jeanne Moreau. His first lead was in Le beau Serge/Handsome Serge (1958, Claude Chabrol) as an idealistic Parisian student who returns after a ten-year absence to his provincial village and becomes obsessed with saving an old school friend who has become a hopeless alcoholic (played by the brooding Gerard Blain, often called the James Dean of France). The film, which won an award in Locarno, and the Jean-Vigo Prize, immediately attracted attention, and the performers (Brialy, Blain, and Bernadette Lafont) were widely acclaimed. Le beau Serge was immediately followed by Les Cousins/The Cousins (1959, Claude Chabrol), in which Brialy played the sardonic town cousin to Blain's simple country cousin.
The young Turks of the Cahiers du Cinema formed the core of the Nouvelle Vague (New Wave). This film movement was a rebellion against the conventions of the French cinema. As James Travers writes at Films de France: ”Out went polished scripts, well-rehearsed performances and meticulously staged productions. In came spontaneity, improvisation, subversive politics, real human emotion, and fun.” The Cahiers critics were starting to have an impact far greater than they could have anticipated and the French cinema seemed to be going through a period of frantic renaissance. The director became the intellectual author of the film; the stars were made more human, the stories more enigmatic. Jean-Claude Brialy also made several films with the other Nouvelle Vague filmmakers including Jean-Luc Godard, François Truffaut, Agnès Varda, Pierre Kast, and Jacques Rozier. Ronald Bergan stated in The Guardian: “Where Belmondo represented anarchy, Léaud youthful innocence and Blain sensitivity, Brialy brought cynicism, charm and sophistication to the films of the period.” Brialy was the leading man in Godard’s ‘neo-realist musical’ Une Femme est une femme/Woman Is a Woman (1961, Jean-Luc Godard), in which Anna Karina plays a stripper who wants to have his baby and turns to his best friend Jean-Paul Belmondo when he refuses. In the film Brialy directly addresses the audience with a line that became an epigram for the Nouvelle Vague: “It’s hard to tell if this is a comedy or a tragedy, but either way it’s a masterpiece.” For Truffaut he appeared opposite Jeanne Moreau in La Mariée était en noir/The Bride Wore Black (1968, François Truffaut), and for Rohmer he starred in Le Genou de Claire/Claire’s Knee (1970, Éric Rohmer), in which he played a bearded Cultural attache who is taking his last summer holiday as a bachelor at Annecy and becomes filled with desire for a young woman’s knee.
Besides his work for the Nouvelle Vague, Jean-Claude Brialy also worked with many other well known filmmakers. He made his feature film debut in Jean Renoir’s Elena et les homes/Elena and her Men (1956) and played his first substantial role, in L’Ami de la famille/A Friend of the Family (1957, Jacques Pinoteau). Then came a supporting role in Christine (1958, Pierre Gaspard-Huit), starring Romy Schneider, who would become a close personal friend. He appeared with Alida Valli in Le Gigolo/The Gigolo (1960, Jacques Deray), with Anthony Perkins in Le Glaive et la Balance/The Sword and the Balance (1963, André Cayatte) and with Jane Fonda in La ronde/Circle of Love (1964), Roger Vadim's adaptation of the classic Arthur Schnitzler play about various people having affairs. He was an asylum inmate in Le Roi de Coeur/King of Hearts (1966, Philippe de Broca), which became a US hit. In the following decades he worked with cineastes like Luis Buñuel (Le Fantôme de la liberté/The Phantom of Liberty, 1974), Bertrand Tavernier (Le Juge et l’assassin/The Judge and the Assassin, 1976) and Ettore Scola (La Nuit de Varennes/That Night in Varennes, 1982), but he was equally attracted to popular comedies, such as Le Maître-nageur/The Swimming Instructor (1978, Jean-Louis Trintignant) and Pinot simple flic/Pinot, Simple Cop (1984, Gérard Jugnot). He reunited with Claude Chabrol and Bernadette Lafont for Inspecteur Lavardin/Inspector Lavardin (1986, Claude Chabrol) in which he played a gay uncle. Other notable appearances include: Les uns et les autres/Bolero (1981, Claude Lelouch), Mortelle Randonnée/Deadly Circuit (1982, Claude Miller), and La Reine Margot/Queen Margot (1994, Patrice Chéreau) starring Isabelle Adjani. Brialy also directed a dozen (TV) films himself, including Églantine (1971), an enchanting story set in the 19th century of a boy's visit to his grandmother, and Un Amour De Pluie/Loving in the Rain (1974) starring Romy Schneider as a woman who takes her daughter to a summer resort in search of a love affair. He often appeared in supporting roles, and was nominated for a César for the best supporting actor for his role in Le Juge et l’Assassin (1976), but won the César for Les Innocents/The Innocents (1988, André Téchiné).
Jean-Claude Brialy came to personify all that is best in French culture. A bon vivant, he started his own restaurant in 1966: the popular L'Orangerie, on the Île Saint-Louis in Paris, which he owned for two decades. He was a natural raconteur, he worked as a singer, he revelled in his numerous television and radio appearances. As a lover of literature, he read extensively and wrote several best-selling books, including the autobiographies, Le Ruisseau des singes (River of Monkeys) (2000) and J'ai oublié de vous dire... (I Forgot to Tell You ...) (2004) in which he revealed that he was homosexual. And he was also a man of the stage. His theatrical successes include Georges Feydeau’s La Puce à l’oreille (A Flea in Her Ear, 1968) and Hotel Paradiso (1974), and Sacha Guitry’s Desiré (1984). When he wasn’t treading the boards, he was helping to direct theatres and film festivals. As James Travers writes at Films de France: “It’s no wonder that he became one of the best loved and most highly respected figures in France.” For his exceptional contribution to French culture, he was awarded the Légion d’honneur (the Legion of Honour). In his last film, made for television, Brialy gave his best performance in years, as the gay Jewish poet Max Jacob in Monsieur Max (2007, Gabriel Aghion), who converted to Catholicism and died in a Gestapo internment camp. Following a long illness, Jean-Claude Brialy died of cancer in 2007, in his house in Monthyon, France. He was 74. In over more than a half-century, Brialy appeared in 185 films and television shows. He is cited in The Guardian saying: "Out of the 185 films, I must admit that I've enjoyed myself 185 times".

New Renault Clio Estate shares the same dynamic breeding as the hatchback but has its own distinct identity. This model has the aesthetic design cues of shooting brakes but also dials in practicality and versatility for good measure.
// Nouvelle Renault Clio Estate possède le style à part des breaks de chasse. Largement marqué par un style emprunt de dynamisme, ce modèle s'appuie également sur les notions de fonctionnalité et modularité.
White Sands Missile Range Museum
Three Navy fleet air defense missiles - Talos, Terrier and Tartar (the 3Ts) - resulted from work begun under the Bumblebee Program started in 1945 to develop a supersonic, radar guided, ramjet propelled missile, launched by a solid propellant booster rocket.
Named for a Greek demigod who protected the island of Crete, Talos was designed for long-range fleet protection and required deployment aboard large cruiser platforms.
Of the 3Ts, only Talos employed a liquid fuel ramjet sustainer engine that required a booster to develop the necessary speed for the ramjet to function. Initially, Talos used beam-rider guidance, but soon added semi-active homing for all but nuclear warhead equipped versions.
Semi-active homing is achieved by use of interferometer antennas mounted on the cowl at the front of the missile (any Talos without the characteristic four nose antennas is either a nuclear or test round).
The initial range capability of Talos was 10 nautical miles, which eventually was increased to 130 nautical miles. Talos evolved into a versatile weapon with both semi-active homing, anti-radiation, broad electronic counter-counter measures and anti-ship capability.
Talos testing began at China Lake, CA, but was soon moved to White Sands Proving Ground with the first firing on 10 July 1951. With construction of the Desert Ship at LC-35 in 1954 and its Deckhouse duplicating a ship's missile handling and launching facilities, testing of Talos continued until 1972 when the last tactical missile was fired on 12 December. From the commissioning of USS Galveston in May 1958 to the decommissioning of USS Oklahoma City in September 1980, Talos missiles protected the fleet for 22 years. Even after Talos missiles were retired from the fleet, they continued to fly as both Low Altitude Supersonic Targets (LAST) and as Vandal targets.
Talos holds the record for the most firings of any missile at WSMR: 528 between 1951 and 1973
