If you're a fan of the Film Photography Project you'll know that they recently released their own Monobath! Well I finally got around to testing out the bottle I was sent and when I pulled out the first roll from the tank, I'll have to say I am pretty impressed! Though I did notice that the film base stayed that lovely TMAX purple, but the images speak for themselves! Wow!

This movie mixes popular notions of witchcraft and voodoo magic and questions whether science and rationality are indeed enough to dispel the belief in witchcraft.
Having moved back to Trafalgar before construction on the Hazel McCallion Campus expansion really got moving, I was a little disappointed that I couldn't capture the place as it grew. But working in IT, I had a slight hand in making sure everything went smoothly after a few hitches happened along the way. I took the chance to visit the new building when it was done.

Soldier's Tower - University of Toronto
Memorial Hall Tower
It was for generations the focus of Harvard life… Even the townspeople were beholden, for anyone who lived within a quarter mile could see the face of one of the clocks and hear the tolling of the quarter hour.
—Bainbridge Bunting, Harvard An Architectural History
The tower was the last portion of Memorial Hall to be completed. When the building was formally turned over to the Corporation in 1877, the tower soared an impressive one hundred ninety-five feet but was far less ornate than as depicted in the architects final rendering of the building.
In 1878, Ware and Van Bunt were fortunate to have the opportunity to modify the tower design with the addition of dormers, pinnacles, and more elaborate cresting.
The most dramatic change to the tower came in 1897 when the class of 1872, upon the occasion of their twenty-fifth reunion, provided funds for an ornate clock tower.
In 1945, the copper detail and iron cresting were removed from the tower, presumably as part of a metal drive for the second world war. In 1956, the top portion of the tower was lost in a fire that was reportedly ignited by a welder’s torch during maintenance, reducing the overall height of the building by one third and eradicating the building’s great pyramidal shape.
Gifts from Katherine B. Loker and other friends of the University facilitated the reconstruction of the tower in 1999. Historic preservationists supported the architectural team of Childs Bertman Tsekares in a design that reflects the “clockless” tower of 1878. On May 14, 2000, at a ceremony dedicating the reconstructed tower, Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, Jeremy R. Knowles reflected, “At last, Memorial Hall has grown again, and can have the effect that Henry James wrote about in The Bostonian: ‘It looked significant; it covered a large area, and it sprang, majestic into the winter air.’”

The following news item appears in the February 22, 1923, issue of The Chesterton Tribune:
BUILDING TO RISE FROM THE RUINS
Arising from the blackened ruins of the historic administration building of Valparaiso university which was destroyed by fire last Thursday morning, will come a new and modern administration building and library, according to a decision of the trustees at a meeting held Saturday.
The loss is estimated between $150,000 and $175,000. This was fairly well covered with insurance and the trustees believe the building can be replaced. Committees were named to find out exactly what is needed in the way of new buildings and some decision will be reached at the next meeting of the board, February 28.
The fire which is of unknown origin was hard to fight on account of the cold. It started about 5 A. M. and the flames were not under control before 10:30 o'clock, when the building was a heap of smoldering ruins. For a time the flames threatened to spread to other buildings. Water dashed against the building froze on the walls so that the buildings looked like an ice plant without and a raging inferno within. Two students who lived in the towers narrowly escaped with their lives and lost all personal effects.
Male and co-ed students joined in an effort to save the school library when the fire was discovered. Shielding their faces with dampened towels and handkerchiefs, the students worked frantically, carrying armful after armful of books and records out from the ever-growing inferno into the cold.
Numerous valuable paintings in the art school, also housed in the administration building were destroyed.
In addition to the library and art school the administration building contained executive officers of the university and the class rooms of the university high and dramatic school.
The building was the oldest on the campus. It was erected 50 years ago and housed the original college.

Pine Pharmacy Pharmaceutical Care Learning Center/Patient Assessment Suite
This is a large, somewhat circular classroom out of which radiate twelve breakout patient assessment/counseling rooms. In this simulated real-life working environment, each room contains an exam table, computer cart with laptop, wall-mounted camera and microphone, and exam tools (blood pressure cuff, mock charts, etc.). In this room, students assess a patient and make a recommendation. This interaction is videotaped and can be viewed live as well as stored for future educational purposes.
Named Spaces in the Pharmacy Building
The following spaces have been officially designated by the University at Buffalo Board of Trustees.
