San Francisco
March 19, 2013
This is the south side of the bridge and the site of the future SF Warriors basketball teams arena.
Not everyone in town is thrilled by the new arena. Please read the article by Ann Killion of the SF Chronicle
After a breathtakingly fast start, the Warriors were bound to cool off. To come back to earth.
I'm not talking about this season's performance on the court. I'm talking about the organization's proposed waterfront arena.
The Warriors burst out early, with aggressive play and strong defense and got lots of people, including the Board of Supervisors and Mayor Ed Lee, to wave their pom-poms and cheer every move.
But now comes the tricky part. The project to build a 13-story arena on Piers 30-32 just south of the Bay Bridge on the San Francisco waterfront is about to enter the environmental impact review. And this is the part I've been waiting for. The "what the heck are you thinking?" stage of the process.
This is not a dissertation on whether it's morally right for the Warriors to abandon the city of Oakland and the denizens of Oracle Arena who have supported them through all the terrible times. The Warriors' new ownership made it clear from the moment they bought the team - from their debut press conference at a restaurant on the Embarcadero to their insistence on holding most team functions at a San Francisco hotel - that they want to move across the bay.
Nor is this a treatise on the need for a nice arena in San Francisco to hold a variety of events (yes, let Bruce Springsteen play in the city) or the impact of two years of construction on one of the city's already most-congested arteries (it will be horrendous) or the importance of keeping Red's Java House on its present site.
Rather, this is a simple thought about the thing that makes San Francisco uniquely San Francisco: our beautiful waterfront. Why - on so many environmental and aesthetic levels - would you want to build an enormous structure directly in the bay?
"There are a lot of issues and concerns," said David Lewis, the director of Save the Bay.
Save the Bay was founded almost 50 years ago to combat what was - at the time - a modern vision of progress: filling in the bay and building structures right on top of the water. Half a century later, haven't we learned that this isn't the best use of our waterfront land?
Freeway in the way
Newbies to the city will forget that our waterfront once was mostly walled off from us, both by working piers and by a concrete monstrosity called the Embarcadero Freeway. But after the Loma Prieta earthquake, the damaged freeway was torn down, there was less hard-core maritime activity along the Embarcadero and suddenly the waterfront opened up to the public. Sweeping vistas. A sense of openness. A synergy between land and water.
We are supremely lucky to have as much gorgeous waterfront access as we do. But now the Warriors want to turn one stretch of open bayfront property into an 18,000-seat, billion-dollar arena.
"We have to protect our precious asset," said former mayor Art Agnos, who pushed for the removal of the Embarcadero Freeway. "To put that structure over the water and destroy the advances that we've made in that part of the city would be an abomination."
Aside from the aesthetic issues, with our newfound awareness about climate change and rising tides, does building an arena on the water seem like the smartest, most environmentally sound move?
The Warriors want to compare the proposed building to other iconic waterfront landmarks like the Sydney Opera House. They might want to also note that recent studies show that the Sydney Opera House is considered at considerable risk because of climate change.
Look cool on TV
The Warriors' owners - with their Hollywood state of mind - want a building that will look cool on television, be used in movie shots and engender envy. But there are other spots in San Francisco that probably would be more appropriate for an arena.
The Warriors have met any arguments against the proposed arena by challenging their doubters if they felt the same about AT&T Park. But when AT&T Park was built in the late 1990s, that side of the city was vastly different, in terms of density and traffic. And the ballpark wasn't built out into the bay, but on an inlet.
The Warriors' most compelling argument is that Piers 30-32 are crumbling, and they're providing a much-needed service by renovating the piers. The $120 million cost of refurbishing the pilings is built into the billion-dollar cost of the arena, which the Warriors promise will be privately financed.
It's true that the old pier is just an empty parking lot now and that the decaying structure needs to be replaced.
Obsolete in 2 decades?
But is that worth trading away a piece of the waterfront forever, particularly for a building which - if the sports climate continues at its current pace - will likely be considered obsolete within two decades?
Lewis and his organization are concerned about what else might be approved if the Warriors arena sails through the process.
"It's the precedent," Lewis said. "If this is considered appropriate pier use, where do you draw the line?"
There's been a lot of civic boosterism surrounding the arena: Mayor Lee, who is watching the 49ers pack up and move, even included the theoretical arena in his plans for bidding for the 2024 Olympics.
But an arena won't make San Francisco special. What makes San Francisco special is what the Warriors arena would block off: our beautiful waterfront.

Continued inaction on climate change is impacting communities and ecosystems across the north. One of these affected communities is Santa's workshop.
"I just don't know what to do" said Santa, "the ice is breaking up, the reindeer (caribou) can't find food, and the elves are absolutely distraught."
Members of the Canadian Youth Climate Coalition helped Santa, his elves, the caribou and the polar bears reach the federal government by setting up a homeless shelter outside Environment Minister Rona Ambrose's constituency
office.

This is the site of the new Plenary Health and Walker Cancer center being built in St Catherines. This is a HUGE construction project being built by PCL Construction. I'm sometimes critical of our government, but when I stop and think especially seeing an undertaking like this, it makes me better understand despite everything, I'm living in a GREAT country with GREAT healthcare.
This image I tried to show 'change and progress'. Sometimes it's necessary for the old to come down so the new can go up. Its definitely sad when this happens, but at least we can preserve our past through these images.
As I understand it, the two-coach class 466 units cannot operate singly after 1 January 2020 as they are not fitted with an accessible toilet. As UK unit diagrams usually change on Sundays, 466011 may have been seen at Maidstone West on the last day of two-car operation on the Medway Valley Line. In this view, the train is just about to depart for Strood with the 11,03 service on 28 December 2019.
The second track on the former Big Four route in Berea has been put down and workers have been busy finishing it. Conrail is in its last months of independent operation. By next summer the tracks shown here will be under CSX ownership and operation. A westbound manifest freight is coming off the Short Line and taking the Toledo Connection.

Change is beautiful. It is the essence of life, the source of growth, and the catalyst for transformation. Change can be scary, challenging, and painful, but it can also be exciting, rewarding, and liberating. Change is inevitable, but how we respond to it is up to us. We can resist it, or we can embrace it. We can fear it, or we can welcome it. We can let it break us, or we can let it make us. Change is beautiful, because it gives us the opportunity to discover new aspects of ourselves, to explore new possibilities, and to create new realities. Change is beautiful, because it reminds us that nothing is permanent, that everything is in flux, and that we are always evolving. Change is beautiful, because it shows us that we are alive.

Think Tank Change Up
This is the bag I use when walking around at weddings or other shoots. It doesn't store all my equipment, but it keeps everything I need close during shooting, so I don't have to carry around the bigger, heavier bag.
It has a bit more pockets for small things (pens, batteries, gum, etc.) and it's a little more manly than a ShootSac. =) The ShootSac is a (very nice) lens purse. The Change-Up is more like a Batman utility belt.

Hogg takes command of U.S. Army Africa
10 June 2010 - By Rick Scavetta, U.S. Army Africa Public Affairs
VICENZA, Italy – During a ceremony today at Caserma Ederle’s Hoekstra Field, Maj. Gen. David R. Hogg assumed command of U.S. Army Africa.
Gen. William E. Ward, commanding general of U.S. Africa Command presided over the ceremony, which signaled the departure of outgoing commander, Maj. Gen. William B. Garrett III.
Hogg, who recently served as deputy commanding general of Combined Security Transition Command-Afghanistan, said he is delighted to become part of the Vicenza military community.
“After 29 years of service and six overseas assignments to include Germany, Panama and Belgium, this is our first opportunity to be in Italy,” Hogg said. “We are absolutely thrilled to be here.”
Hogg said he is excited to be a part of U.S. Army Africa, the Army's newest service component command, challenged with developing relationships with land forces in Africa and supporting U.S. Army efforts on the African continent.
Ward reminded the crowd that U.S. Army Africa has accomplished some great things since Dec. 2008, when it began its transformation to becoming the Army service component command for U.S. Africa Command.
“In that short time, the command has formed, grown, and matured into an active and effective outfit and has established strong strategic relationships with the ground forces in Africa,” Ward said. “U.S. Army Africa not only succeeded, they excelled. In fact, they thrived on the opportunities they were given.”
Garrett took command of the Southern European Task Force in 2008. He commanded SETAF throughout its transformation to U.S. Army Africa. Garrett now heads to Iraq, where he will serve as the chief of staff, U.S. Forces Iraq.
“We look forward to building upon the systems that Maj. Gen. Garrett and Mrs. Garrett have developed,” Hogg said. “We are truly thankful for the warm welcome that we have received from the community and, especially, the Garretts.”
