White circles with red outlines denote visually identified clades that contain a specific LIM domain conserved within a class or family. Colored circles indicate which species have taxa present within that manually annotated clade. For tip labels, branch lengths, and bootstrap values see Figures S2 and S3.
Today ALL our racks are completely full of Suyaki. Boy is that wood thirsty--we went through several 5-gallon cans in one day. We have an exterior package headed to Peter's crew at Able Construction, Inc., in CT and an interior package headed to Michael at RW Anderson Homes in WA (design by Mandy Calloway Interiors www.mandycallaway.com ). Thank you for the work may your projects be on time and fabulous!
Built in 1935-1939, this Modern house, an example of Organic Architecture, was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright for the family of department store owner Edgar J. Kaufmann, Sr. to serve as a weekend retreat. The house was a catalyst for the revitalization of Frank Lloyd Wright’s career, who was in his mid-60s at the time, along with two other commissions around the same time, the Johnson Wax Headquarters and the Jacobs House I, which were critically acclaimed and explored a bold new direction of organic architecture that was heavily inspired from their natural surroundings, and were streamlined, dropping most of the ornamental pretenses of his earlier work. The house was built for department store owner Edgar J. Kaufmann, Sr., his wife, Liliane Kaufmann, and their only son, Edgar Kaufmann, Jr., to serve as the family’s weekend retreat, with room to accommodate a small staff and guests alongside the family. The Kaufmann family became acquainted with the work of Wright through Edgar Kaufmann, Jr., who read Frank Lloyd Wright’s autobiography in 1934, and was so impressed that he decided to intern at the Taliesin Fellowship, where Edgar, Sr. and Liliane first met Wright while visiting Edgar, Jr. The family, at the time, resided in a traditional-style mansion in Fox Chapel, near Pittsburgh, and had a small rustic cabin overlooking the waterfall at the Fallingwater site. The cabins were falling into disrepair in the mid-1930s, which prompted the Kaufmann family to contact Wright to design a replacement structure. Wright visited and surveyed the area around Bear Run in 1934, but shelved the project while pursuing other work for the next few months, thinking through the design, before being surprised by a visit from Edgar J. Kaufmann, Sr. in September 1935, which prompted Wright to quickly draw a concept for a house at Bear Run, producing the initial design drawings in two hours. Edgar, Sr., upon seeing the plans, was surprised to see the house soaring above the waterfall, as he had expected it to sit below the falls in order to view them from a distance, but Wright’s charisma convinced a skeptical Kaufmann to buy into the concept.
The house was designed by Wright with input from structural engineers Mendel Glickman and William Wesley Peters to feature large cantilevers, which allowed it to embrace the waterfall and topography below, while providing ample outdoor space and the desired number of bedrooms and living spaces within. A second wing was constructed above the main house, linked to it via a covered breezeway, which houses a carport, servants quarters, and a guest suite. The stone utilized in the house’s construction was quarried on the site, and it utilized reinforced concrete in its construction, a building technique with which Wright was inexperienced, but which the design would be impossible to implement without utilizing. Kaufmann was skeptical of Wright’s experience with the technique, as well as the cantilevered forms of the structure, and commissioned an engineering report, compiled by an engineering firm, which caused Wright to threaten to walk away from the incomplete project. Kaufmann relented in the face of Wright’s ultimatum, and had the documents buried. However, the contractor, feeling uneasy about the strength of Wright’s design, added extra reinforcement in secret, which was revealed during the building’s restoration. Other changes were made due to skepticism of the cantilevered design, but many of these were reversed, which proved the resiliency and strength of the design. The house came in far over budget, but despite these cost overruns and complications with the design, the Kaufmann family enjoyed it as a weekend retreat between 1937 and 1963. Liliane Kaufmann died in 1952, and Edgar Kaufmann, Sr. died in 1955, leaving the house to their son, Edgar Kaufmann, Jr., who continued to utilize the house as a weekend retreat, with his life partner, Paul Mayén, becoming a regular visitor to the house as well. In 1963, Edgar, Jr. donated the property to the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy, along with the surrounding property, which was converted into a nature reserve, and the house was opened for public tours.
The house features multiple reinforced concrete cantilevers, wrap-around windows facing the falls and Bear Run, open, transparent corners on the side of the building facing the creek, stone cladding on the more opaque portions of the facade, large terraces on the cantilevered portions of the building, open tread staircases inside and outside the building, red metal trim, a suspended concrete canopy over the breezeway connecting the guest wing and carport with the main house, a swimming pool on the terrace outside the guest wing, rocks embedded into the floors of the interior of the house, a staircase from the living room down to Bear Run below, and red concrete floors inside. A driveway, following Bear Run, crosses a bridge next to the main wing of the house before following a narrow corridor between the main wing and an adjacent stone outcropping, before turning and arriving at the upper wing, which originally housed a four-bay carport on the lower floor. The interior of the house is very open to the exterior, with low furnishings that allow for maximization of the views out of the windows, and is home to art that was collected by Liliane, books collected by Edgar, Jr. and Paul, and furnishings collected by Edgar, Sr. The house’s kitchen features yellow-painted metal cabinets and appliances, and chrome handles, the living room features a fireplace with a spherical beverage warmer that is designed to swing over to the fireplace from its storage location next to the fireplace and coffered ceilings, and horizontal bands of trim, and various portions of the house feature built-in desks, cabinets, wooden slat screens, and bookshelves, simple beds featuring wooden headboards and nightstands in the bedrooms, and bathrooms with cork tiles, sunken bathtubs, ceiling-mounted shower heads, and toilets with wall-embedded tanks. The upper wing of the house has a carport and guest suite on the lower floor, with servants quarters above, and the main house features a living room, dining room, kitchen, terraces and lounge on the first floor, a primary suite and secondary bedroom and bathroom with large terraces on the second floor, and a suite intended for Edgar, Jr. on the third floor, which was later partially converted into an office. The house is very broad in the direction parallel to Bear Run and has a living room that cantilevers over the creek, but it is very thin, being rather thin, with primary interior spaces featuring windows that look out onto Bear Run below. The house, despite its size appearing massive due to its spatial arrangement, has only a small interior square footage, but the space is efficiently designed to offer maximum utility to the occupants, and allow a close connection with nature.
The house was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1966, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. It was designated as part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site, The 20th-Century Architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright, in 2019. A visitor center was constructed on the property in 1977-1979, designed by Paul Mayen. The most visible modification to the house since it was opened to the public were the enclosure of three carport bays to house a museum and presentation space for visitors. The house underwent major alterations to its structural systems in 1995-2002, involving analyzing the performance of the cantilevers over time since the house’s construction, as the bold cantilevered forms had insufficient reinforcement and had deflected substantially, nearing their failure points. Additional steel supports and post-tensioning in the form of steel cables were added to the building to support the cantilevers, which has halted the progression of the deflection of the structure, though it is monitored by the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy in order to detect any further movement of the structure. The house today sees over one-hundred thousand visitors annually, and is one of the most well-known works of Wright, as well as being one of the best-known houses in the United States.
The residents of the Yorkshire Dales village of Kettlewell hold an annual scarecrow festival for ten days in August. During the festival one will find scarecrows around every corner, on windowsills and in gardens, in churchyards and on telephone poles. This year there was even one hanging by its neck from a tree. Some of them were goofy, others sweetly traditional. Some made biting political statements. Others were bawdy. You can tell the whole village puts its heart and soul into the project. I hope these pictures do it justice.
Built in 1935-1936, this limestone-clad Art Deco-style bank building, designed by Val. H. Heinhold, stands on Harrison Avenue near Fairmount Avenue in Cincinnati’s South Fairmount neighborhood. The original building, consisting of the central wing, was built to house the Central Fairmount Building and Loan Company, founded in the 1880s, and featured a large front lobby and banking hall, a decorative vestibule adorned with clocks over the doors on the exterior and interior, a rear office area, a private office in the southwest corner of the main floor, a vault in the northwest corner of the main floor, two restrooms with marble stalls and hexagonal tile floors, and a basement with garage door openings on either end. The interior of the building featured extensive and ornate decorative walnut paneling, a decorative ceiling in the banking hall made up of fiber ceiling tiles arranged in an Art Deco pattern, a herringbone linoleum floor with decorative accents, brushed nickel door hardware, and half-height partitions in the main banking hall to help ensure an efficient flow of customers and business through the building. The building was modified in 1949 with the addition of two small wings on either side of the original structure, housing additional offices, a new boiler room, a second safe in the basement, an air conditioning system, and a single basement garage entrance. The original chandeliers in the banking hall were replaced with a pair of large linear fluorescent fixtures, and four original window openings were retained, and two were enlarged to allow circulation into the new wings. The interior of the additions feature walnut paneling like the original building, but with a far more streamlined and simplified design, as well as simpler nickel hardware, and tile ceilings with integrated linear fluorescent lights. The building remained in this configuration until a third and final renovation carried out between 1978 and 1980, which saw the addition of a small wing in the northwest corner of the building containing two offices and an additional stairwell, the creation of a break room in the basement, the reconfiguration of the lobby and replacement of the original banking counters, and the partitioning of the large office in the north wing added in 1949 into two smaller offices and a hallway. Shortly after the final renovation, the Central Fairmount Building and Loan Company, founded in the 1880s, was consolidated with the Gem Savings Bank of Dayton, Ohio, becoming a branch bank for Gem Savings, and only remaining open a few years in the 1980s before the branch was closed due to a lack of business and financial problems of Gem Savings, which was eventually acquired by National City Corp in 1989 due to financial insolvency and mismanagement. In 1985, the building was bought by Bill Spetz, whom ran an engineering firm out of the building from that time until about 2019, keeping the building’s features preserved and well-maintained during its time under his stewardship. The building was sold to a new owner in 2022.
Clad, a joint endeavor from JC Penney and the editors of Esquire, debuted this year to provide men with, well, anything and everything that's fashionable. The site has helpfully compiled an extensive under-$100 gift list, but our hands-down favorite item to make the roundup would be these side buckle leather gloves from John Varvatos ($95).
Part of the core design of a Pasivhaus are walls, floors and ceilings that are supper insulated. There is also an attempt made to eliminate all thermal bridges. The Whistler Passivhaus walls and roof were built using prefabricated 10 cm thick solid wood panels that were also structural. On the outside of the wood panels was 36 cm of insulation for the roof and 30 cm for the walls. On the outside of the insulation was a breathable barrier, a venting space and then the cladding.
This is the Bridford Mews facade of 10 Weymouth St, which has recently been refurbished an extended. I've not enhaced these pictures at all in Photoshop.
The facade is completely different to anything I have ever seen, and I think I like its imagination, creativity and innovation. What do you think?
50% majority rule consensus cladogram for all 88 species based on the nuclear gene 18S.Node labels give posterior probabilities. Branch lengths are not meaningful. As shown in the upper left diagram, the cladogram consists of the Isopoda outgroup, and two subsections: A) suborder Gammaridea, and B) suborder Corophiidea. Two species (*) are grouped with the Corophiidea (although with low support), but are classified as Gammaridean. Rounded brackets show families with monophyletic topologies, plus the monophyletic superfamily Lysianassoidea (**). Monophyly brackets are supported with probability >0.99 with the exception of two families marked with ***. Non-monophyletic families are marked with vertical lines; families with no marking are represented by 1 species. New sequences from Bodega Bay are marked with BB for the 14 amphipod species with trait data and bb for the 2 without.
Another radically-filtered Venice shot.
(I haven't taken any decent photos for ages, so I thought I would post another of the Venice ones...
It's the same crappy building with smingey blue cladding on it. Bradford Council don't half waste some money.

Host plant families of 16 major yponomeutoid lineages.The cladogram is simplified from figure 2, annotated with predominant growth form of host plants (‘W’ for woody plants vs. ‘H’ for herbaceous plants). Fractions below yponomeutoid taxon names denote host record completeness for genera and species (in that order), calculated from the number of genera or species with host records relative to the total number of known genera or species. Host plant families used by each lineage are denoted by gray cells showing the numbers of species feeding on that plant family. Symbols denote the dominant growth-forms of each plant family: shaded circles = trees and shrubs; open circles = herbs; and shaded stars = veins and lianas. Capital letters next to host plant orders denote membership in clades above the order level: A – magnoliids, B – commelinids, C – fabids, D – malvids, E – lamiids, F – campanulids, G – Gnetophyta, and H – Pinophyta.
