Earth Designs Garden Design and Build were asked to created a landscape and propose garden design in Buckhrst Hill, Essex*. Here are the details of the project
The Copper Garden in Buckhurst Hill, Essex IG9 5QN
Breif:The plot is a large garden in a detached sub-urban property
There is an area of block paving outside the house, separated from the rest of the garden by iron railings and gate. This should be retained in the design.
The client has a dog, who should be considered in the design.
Other things for consideration are the different levels in the space (the garden slopes away from the house) and the need for screening from the hospital to the left of the garden.
The clients have requested a clean, contemporary space
Solution: This design is crisp and angular with a contemporary feel, and divides the space into three distinct areas in order to incorporate the existing block paving and retain an area of lawn for the client’s dog.
Leading into the main area of garden from the existing block paving will be a path comprising rows of mint sandstone interspersed with rows of loose polished black Chinese pebbles. This will dogleg first to the right, then to the left and continue halfway down the right hand side of the space, where it will finally turn left again to run across the middle of the space. The journey of this path shall enclose a large area of paving, laid in a formal pattern with stylish black honed slate tiles (60cm x 60cm).
Directly in front of the existing block paving, to the left and right of the first section of path, two 50cm high rendered block raised beds will serve to firmly separate the block paved area from the rest of the space. These beds will be filled with elegant Zantedeschia and spiky Miscanthus for truly contemporary planting scheme. A further, long, rendered block raised bed planted with black bamboo separates the middle section from a large area of lawn at the bottom of the space. The colour of the raised beds would be decided in conjunction with the client.
The lawn area will be framed by a series of silver birch, underplanted with evergreen sedge and black grass, to give the bottom of the garden a secluded, copse-like feel.
Several decorative features sited within the main area of paving will become focal points of the space. The first of these will be two unusual sculptures, one on the left and one middle back of the paving, which will comprise topiary spirals planted in tall tapered black zinc planters contained within two large square frames joined together to form a hollow, rectangular, box-like structure. Behind the left hand box sculpture a host of vertical copper tubes will appear to be ‘growing’ from a railway sleeper set into the ground. Several similar tubular sculptures, nestled between the bamboo in the raised bed running across the garden, will produce a dramatic and visually stunning backdrop to the garden. To ensure continued use when the sun goes down, the garden will feature a variety of lighting chosen to give both general lighting and to highlight certain features. Low voltage spot lights placed throughout the beds will give the garden a gentle wash to the garden while drawing attention to the architectural planting scheme. Down lighters in the top of the box sculptures will highlight the bamboo below, with white light sticks hidden amongst main tubular sculpture to the left bringing a playful feel to the space. Uplighters below the remaining tubular sculptures will illuminate the long raised bed to striking effect. Finally, stainless steel eyelid lights set into the exposed walls of the remaining raised beds will help to illuminate the path and paving, and guide ones journey through the space

About a week ago a girl sent me a friend request on facebook. Not one to turn a pretty girl away i accepted. After a week of seeing her wall posts I was curious to see who this girl was so I sent her a message. Turns out she is a friend of a friend and wanted some pictures done. We made plans for the following sunday to do some test shots and to see how we would get along. She arrived at my place around 3:30 and off we went to downtown LA. I had an idea where i wanted to take some pictures but I had only been there at night to take some long exposures and security is pretty hit or miss. Sometimes they let you shoot and others they will kick you out. We made good time to downtown and I was surprised to see street parking near the John Ferrero Building. It looks like the opera was in town across the street and the street parking was taken up mostly by semi trucks. I found a spot to park but there was a temporary no parking sign. Without anyone seeing i took the sign off the post and put my change in the meter. I just hoped no cops were in the area looking to give out tickets. Caitlin had never shot before and was quite nervous. I did my best cracking jokes and just trying to ease her nerves. Very soon she started to get more comfortable and the shots started getting alot better. After shooting at the john ferrero building I thought about shooting at the disney concert hall but didn't want to take my chances with my parking spot so I took her for alittle drive though downtown and showed her one of my favorite places the art district. It seems the camera just loved her and what was supposed to be a test shoot turned into a full on photoshoot. Now i have a ton of pictures to go though. I can't wait to shoot with her again.

Vesuvio Café in North Beach, San Francisco.
Photographs in this collection have been produced by Heather Do, Connor Rowe, Kathleen Markham, Alison Lowrie, Kenneth Chiu, Katie Salmond, Diana Chavez, Elena Toffalori, Ashley Vink, Aimee O'Dea, Liz Dolinar, Allison Barden, Justine Khoury, Daniele Alaniz-Roux, and Justin Thach at the request of Michael Ashley for the UC Berkeley Anthropology 136e class, Spring 2011. The purpose was to digitally document the cultural heritage of Vesuvio Café to not only document the cultural history embeded into the ageless walls but also to connect spatially the symbiotic relationship that preserves the legacy of beatnik culture today.
Vesuvio Cafe, (37.79757°N 122.40625°W), located in the North Beach region of San Francisco Bay, is a cultural bastion preserving the cultural heritage of bohemian era and the beatnik culture that generated its establishment by Henri Lenoir in 1949 and made infamous by the renown authors such as Jack Kerouac from which the adjacent alley is named. The building in which the bar is housed is otherwise known as the Cavalri building built in 1913 and expanded to a second story in 1918 and designed by Zanolini with Italian Renaissance revival elements. The transient existence of these unkempt literary members and their constituents is reflected in the liminal location of the former saloon restaurant at the border between the vagrant Chinese- Italian communities; by 1970[1], most of the diverse cultures regressed into economical housing . Vesuvio Café despite its rich history back to the 1950’s , are not historically preserved site; in fact, they were rented until 1999[2] by managers Chris and Janet Clyde, whose proprietary hopes to protect the building from other commercial interest. Over the years, Vesuvio has undergone its share of renovations and damages such as the 1999 retrofitting for earthquake safety or even the 1973 damage dealt to the building by an errant bus[3]. Over the years, the "I'll never forget after the retro-fitting, one man came in, he was about 55 years old and in a business suit," Clyde said. "He actually had tears in his eyes when he looked at the place. He said, `You didn't change anything.' Vesuvio has kept its character as a neighborhood bar.”[4]
Photographs in this collection were shot on April 11, 2011 between 7:30 am and 5:00 pm Pacific Time under variable natural lighting due to cloudy skies with intermittent periods of morning exposure conditions. Photos were captured on the following cameras: Canon DSLR XTI/T2i, S95, Sony Cybershot, Canon Powershot. Lenses used include: Macro 60mm, Telephoto 70-200, Canon T2i 18-55mm, Canon XTI 17-85mm. A tripod was used for timelapse, Gigapan, macro, telephoto, HDR, and photogrammetry shots. iPhones were also used for documentation shots and Geo-tagging. The photos were post-processed in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3.
Description written by Kenneth Chiu, following Addison’s proposed virtual heritage metadata format in his chapter “The Vanishing Virtual” in New Heritage: New Media and Cultural Heritage, edited by Kalay, et al., and published by Routledge in 2007.

We tend to celebrate light in our pictures. Understanding how light interacts with the camera is paramount to the work we do. The temperature, intensity and source of light can wield different photography effect on the same subject or scene; add ISO, aperture and speed, the camera, the lens type, focal length and filters…the combination is varied ad multi-layered and if you know how to use them all, you will come to appreciate that all lights are useful, even those surrounded by a lot of darkness.
We are guided by three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, our longing to capture in print, that which is beautiful, the constant search for the one picture, and constant barrage of new equipment and style of photography. These passions, like great winds, have blown us across the globe in search of the one and we do understand the one we do look for might be this picture right here for someone else out there.
“A concise poem about our work as stated elow
A place without being
a thought without thinking
creatively, two dimensions
suspended animation
possibly a perfect imitation
of what was then to see.
A frozen memory in synthetic colour
or black and white instead,
fantasy dreams in magazines
become imbedded inside my head.
Artistic views
surrealistic hues,
a photographer’s instinctive eye:
for he does as he pleases
up to that point he releases,
then develops a visual high.

On 10 August 1911 the Minister of Internal Affairs received a request from Lawrence Mack who wished to import three iguanas, one kangaroo, two opossums, two wallabies, two monkeys, one dingo, two bandicoots and one crocodile “for exhibition purposes”.
Mack tried to assure the Minister that the animals were all “quite tame and harmless”. A few weeks later, after some correspondence back and forth, Mack was granted a permit for six iguanas, one kangaroo, two opossums, two wallabies and two monkeys. The dingo, bandicoots and crocodile were not allowed, with a note in the file stating that “crocodiles are not harmless”.

I actually hate moe feet, i wish i had normal f60 feet- sigh. I'm waiting for my camera battery so charge to get ready for a heap of feet. ;)

⟶ My presence was requested at Soul of Dreams, Glanmire for a photoshoot. I traveled by boat and then by taxi to finally get to the beautiful destination. It’s such a lovely place with a mix of English and Italian architecture. The taxi dropped me off at the Golden Hotel, where the models would be staying. Right in front of the hotel was a canal littered with boats for those that wanted to ride. It also had a cute little cafe (Cafe de Paris) filled with baked goods, fruits, and drinks. I plan on heading to the cafe later when I drop off my luggage in the hotel.
⟶My hair was done by Doux for the photoshoot. It’s a cute high bun with a curly bang. I’ve been seeing this hair all over SL and knew I had to get it too. Eyeshadow was done by Fenom and my glossy, dark mauve lipstick is by Moccino Beaute. My nails were done by NailPlug. The red leather jacket and silk top was provided by Blueberry. The green bulang pants are by Little Diamond. The heels are Mangula.

I only learned about hopia less than a week ago. Chinese mooncakes? You got it. Manju cookies? Learned to make them with rendered chicken fat (in cooking school). But this...these small 2-bite pleasures of sweetened mung bean paste in a flaky dough was something that happened by chance (and another big YAY for the innernetz).
I used the recipe from Betty Shimabukuro's column By Request of the former Honolulu Star-Bulletin turned Star-Advertiser, which, in turn, comes from Conchita Olaya. It is really easy to follow through if you have the bean paste already made, so if starting from scratch, begin a couple days early and soak your beans overnight. The following day you can cook the beans and they'll keep for a couple of days.
archives.starbulletin.com/2001/08/29/features/request.html
NOTES: I followed the recipe to the letter but would like to add my observations to make the whole process even more fool-proof.
1. First of all, if you cut the eventual sum of cylinders (8 count total) into 6 pieces as suggested, you'll end up with 4 dozen hopia instead of the stated 32.
2. Connie Olaya is brand-specific, and her choice of flour is Gold Medal (she says anything else and your dough will tear.) I live in Italy and had to make do with what's available - farina di grano tenero "00". The results were fine and my dough didn't rip when rolling out.
3. Connie also notes that refrigerating the dough overnight will harden it. I kept mine overnight to see how difficult it would be to work with the next day, but my doubts were unwarranted. If you wrap the dough cylinders (that are still wrapped in a towel *I used paper towels*) in plastic wrap it'll keep them from drying out. Remove from refrigerator and let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes or so before rolling out. Having your dough and filling ready like this will make the job much easier if you plan to bake enough to feed a crowd!
3. You won't be flouring your work surface when rolling out the dough pieces (the oil in the dough fixes that), but to get a nice, flat, even result, I roll the dough pieces between plastic wrap. Easy to peel off and reuse.
5. The instructions say to roll the dough pieces into a rectangle but I found it easier to pinch/seal the edges together if in a square-ish shape. You don't need to seriously pinch these to keep the filling contained, but I wouldn't stuff them too much otherwise they'll pop "crack" open during baking.
6. I had no choice but to use extra-virgin olive oil for the first dough (the one that is crumbly) and pistachio oil for the second dough (the one you roll out). They both worked out fine, with no discernible taste of olives or pistachio.
7. I had no split yellow mung beans so I used the whole green ones. I also made a filling using azuki beans but I really like the mung version much better with this.
8. Even though there's a significant amount of oil in the pastry, these are actually light and ADDICTIVE. So if you feel doing half the recipe is enough, you might want to rethink that. I ate six of these in 15 minutes, and I'm munching on one now as I type this up.
I currently have over 100 requests. I will not be excepting any requests until I can get these done, please dont send any requests. If you need to have desings created during this time or need them faster then I can get to them. Then please ask someone else, I know Dutch- has said he can do some but I will leave it up to those who have asked.
Requested details: Groom in red and black sneakers, cloth veil for bride and round eyeglasses. Robot sculpture combining polymer clay, wire woven into coil springs, varnish and a little heart handmade by HerArtSheLoves. theawesomerobots.com
