case study cincinnati music hall renovation american cultural icon
Case Study: Cincinnati Music Hall - Renovation of an American Cultural Icon
The Cincinnati Music Hall is considered one of the largest and most beautiful concert halls and theaters in the world. It has played host to iconic performances and events for more than a century, from the 1880 Democratic National Convention to performances that helped shape the American arts scene.
A vision and product of 19th century architect Samuel Hannaford, Music Hall - as it's known across the Queen City - first opened its doors to the public in 1878. Yet the doors on the 225,000-square-foot facility have been closed since May 2016 to allow for a complex interior and exterior restoration effort that would propel the aging building into the modern era while also preserving its beautifully unique characteristics.
The Charge:
Restoring the beauty of Hannaford's showpiece was more than a simple facelift. According to the Music Hall Revitalization Company, the non-profit coordinating and leading the renovation, engineers investigating the building discovered structural deterioration beyond what one would expect in a 139-year old building, and recommended actions secure the Music Hall's long term viability*.
The $135 million Music Hall renovation began in the spring of 2016, with the Cincinnati Center City Development Corporation (3CDC) overseeing construction. Following a rigorous request for proposals, 3CDC chose Imbus Roofing to install the new roof.
Principal Daniel Imbus and his team were more than up to the task. Not only had Imbus Roofing performed the bulk of the roofing work at Music Hall over the past few decades, they have a rich legacy in the greater Cincinnati area. Among the other high-profile projects with connections to Imbus roofing are the Proctor & Gamble Twin Towers, the Walnut Hills Copper Dome, Paul Brown Stadium and the original Riverfront Stadium.
The team at Imbus worked closely with 3CDC, PWWG Architects and local distributor Midwest Roofing Supply to nail the aesthetic and capture the original essence of Music Hall.
"The roof replacement was a big part of the project, not only for protecting all the interiors that were being restored or replaced, but for the overall look of the building," Imbus explained. "With the older building and the amount of other work being performed, just getting around the building and scheduling work around other trades such as painting, masonry, HVAC, etc. required a lot of planning."
The Install:
Imbus partnered with Seth Dorn, branch manager at Midwest Roofing Supply, to find the appropriate materials to for the front towers, Corbett Tower, and Opera House portions of the roof. According to Dorn, the Music Hall has been traditionally adorned with high-end shingles, so they chose Grand Manor® luxury asphalt shingles to replicate the slate aesthetic and endure the wind, rain, snow and other elements typical to Cincinnati. To recreate the distinctive striped pattern of the roof they used approximately 600 squares of Grand Manor shingles in two colors, Stonegate Gray and Brownstone.
"We serviced Imbus Roofing with all potential materials for the project," said Dorn "In addition to the shingles we supplied DiamondDeck® and WinterGuard® underlayments to further enforce weather protection."
A large part of the roof replacement was the Main Hall which sits above lower sections of the building and has a steep slope. To perform this installation, Imbus' team had to build scaffolding along the full gutter lines to provide safe and secure roof access and work platforms.
"With the steep slope of the roof, the shingles are an integral part of the exterior look of this historic building," said Imbus. "It's an introduction to the amazing interior renovation and exterior restoration."
The Re-opening:
The project, more than seven years in the making, was completed on October 1, 2017. The doors officially re-opened on October 6 to kick off a weekend of events that included an opening night gala, a community Open House, and a pair of concerts featuring the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra.
"It looks awesome," reflected Dorn. "We will spotlight this job for all of our contractors and customers."
"We had a great experience with this project," Imbus added. "It was a quick schedule with a lot of work to a signature building of Cincinnati. It is great being a part of a successful project that I think will impress everyone in the community."

George Osborne defers emergency Brexit budget
Speaking from the Treasury, chancellor says UK will face decision to leave European Union from a "position of strength" – but defers decision to cut spending and raise taxes

By Josh May
George Osborne has said Britain is well-placed to deal with the economic shock of leaving the European Union, but warned it would not be "plain sailing" – as he rowed back on a pre-referendum promise to make further public spending cuts in the immediate aftermath of a vote to leave the EU.
The chancellor stood by his campaign warnings that Brexit would have drastic negative implications for the economy, but said he would not immediately be bringing forward his promised emergency Budget.
In a statement designed to reassure the markets before they opened on Monday morning, Osborne said the Treasury had "robust contingency plans" for dealing with the aftermath of the referendum.

The chancellor also said he would address his own political future "in coming days", leaving open the possibility of a run for the Conservative leadership or an endorsement of another candidate.
While stressing that he did not "resile from" his warnings in the referendum campaign, he talked up the state of the economy.
"Today I want to reassure the British people, and the global community, that Britain is ready to confront what the future holds for us from a position of strength," he said.
"That is because in the last six years the government and the British people have worked hard to rebuild the British economy.
"We have worked systematically through a plan that today means Britain has the strongest major advanced economy in the world."
The chancellor provoked an outcry from pro-Brexit Conservative MPs when he said he would implement £30bn-worth of tax rises and public spending cuts in the months after a vote to leave the EU.
After more than 60 Tories pledged to vote it down, hwoever, Osborne said any new Budget would wait until at least October, when a new prime minister takes the helm.
"There will be an adjustment in our economy because of the decision that the British people have taken," he said.
"I respect that decision and we're going to get on and deliver on that decision. But that impact on the economy will have an impact on our public finances.
"Given the delay in triggering Article 50, given the decision by the prime minister to hand over to a successor, I think it's perfectly reasonable to wait for a new prime minister before we determine what that action is."
Today was the first public statement from the chancellor since the referendum outcome was revealed.

OSCAR TALK: Ep. 53 — BAFTA fallout, foreign language and animated short races, Banksy in L.A.
Posted by Kristopher Tapley · 8:00 am · February 18th, 2011
Welcome to Oscar Talk.
In case you're new to the site and/or the podcast, Oscar Talk is a weekly kudocast, your one-stop awards chat shop between yours truly and Anne Thompson of Thompson on Hollywood. The podcast is weekly, every Friday throughout the season, charting the ups and downs of contenders along the way. Plenty of things change en route to Oscar's stage and we're here to address it all as it unfolds.
We've got another 10 days left in the 2010-2011 awards season, not that anyone's counting. That means three more episodes of Oscar Talk and Anne and I will exit stage right, but for now, there is still, as always, plenty to chew on. Let's see what's on the docket today…
• The BAFTA Awards went down last weekend. We discuss whether it means something or whether it's just a blip on the season's radar.
• We focus on a couple of categories this week, starting with the Best Foreign Language Film race. Having seen each of the nominees, we both give our personal takes and our expectations for the Oscars.
• Also discussed this week: the animated short films. It's always a tough chore to pick what will resonate with these categories but we give it a try.
• Banksy is in Los Angeles this week, making his presence known and keeping people talking about "Exit Through the Gift Shop." Worth discussing.
• This weekend brings the ACE and CAS awards, so we offer some quick anticipatory thoughts on those.
• And finally, reader questions. We address queries concerning Facebook's potential influence on the race, how we'd improve the show and what it means to "campaign" for an Oscar.
Have a listen to the new podcast below. If the file cuts off for you at any time, try the back-up download link at the bottom of this post. And as always, remember to subscribe to Oscar Talk via iTunes here.

Just to clarify, True Grit won the cinematography BAFTA.
Amen. Give me a six hour show.
red_wine said...
You two committed blasphemy. Didn't you two just tear Dogtooth apart? Dogtooth is a great movie. Its not a shlocky cheap exploitation movie. It is symbolic its true but it is magnificent film-making of the highest order that is provocative but not in a cheap way.
It is dazzling written, directed and performed and if nothing else, just that puts it in a category of its own. It is the best film nominated in any category for any award this year at the Oscars (from what I have seen and I have seen almost all).
Brock Landers said...
The Dogtooth trash talk was over the top. It's an incredible film and saying you'd rather 5 mundane films get in over it is kind of pathetic.
karol said...
i'm not surprised you trashed Dogtooth, afterall American people likes simple movies that don't force them to think and analyze:)
Dogtooth reminds me a bit of The Clockwork Orange…
Maxim said...
I largelly agree with everything that was sad, especially in regards to the Oscar ceremony.
I am a little suprised to hear you say, you wouldn't nominate Deaking this year though. It IS an impressive looking film and some of the shots in the later half, really transcend simple things like "beauty" and really become quite poetic. I'm specifically thinking back to the sequence of Mattie Ross and Cogburn riding back home.
And speaking of shots, are you going to be limiting yourself to just one per film in your Ten Best list (I don't think I remember you ever including more than one in any of the previous list)? I ask this because my favorite other shot from Inception is the one of DiCaprio's slo-mo raising from a bath and haivng water on his face completely distort his look. Great stuff.
JJ1 said...
Did not enjoy Dogtooth. Did not find it earth-shattering in it's message/gravitas.
Andrej said...
I think Dogtooth is largely overrated, but if you can stomach it, it's very funny in a dark kind of way. It's not a brand of comedy I get to see everyday, and that's why I embrace it regardless of its flaws.

On the one word game, Pete Hammond when for schitzophrenic earlier. The industry for "King's Speech" and media-oriented groups going for "Social Network" during phase 1.
I think there's something to that. King's Speech did get the period ADG award, and costume designers are next week. And in terms of the sweep mentality, Anne didn't mention changing her opinion on score.
10 2-18-2011 at 10:31 am
Paul Outlaw said...
How many actors can say that they appeared in four Oscar-nominated films in the same year? Is this some kind of a record that HBC has achieved?
How could The King's Speech win Best Editing? There are so many other categories where people who are gaga about it could reward it and somehow justify their choice, but it winning in this category would be mindboggling. They cannot be that lazy.
I think John C. Reily, of all people, appeared in 3 BP nominated films in 2002 (and that was a year of 5).
Oh, and this TV line does seem to come up quite a bit for "The Social Network." For example, the industry indisder who posted here with multiple AMPAS and guild members in his or her family said a writer friend made that observation.
It's on David Eng's blog, though I strongly disagree with much of what he says about the movie:
http://www.chinokino.com/2011/01/second-look-social-network.html
I know Kris thinks the industry-critics split notion is somewhat misguided, and I understand why. But the SAG-PGA-DGA crown on one, and the NYFCC-LAFCA-NSFC on the other do constitute noteworthy accomplishments with these different groups. This "TV" feel may be a part of that.
Loyal said...
Thanks for answering my question, for the second week in a row no less.
I agree 100% with Kris and Anne about the length of the Oscar broadcast. I love the Oscars, give me a 3 hour show! Side note: I'm seeing Bingham in concert next month, can't wait.
I also agree wholeheartedly with Kris' closing comments about taking a step back. This award season has been a sad one for Oscar punditry.
Also, speaking of The Lost Thing (my pick for Best Animated Short), it's now online
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xgtlpk_the-lost-thing-de-shaun-tan-et-andrew-ruhemann_shortfilms
Not that I didn't enjoy Day & Night, but I feel The Lost Thing trumps it as both art and entertainment. It fits perfectly in line with previous winners in the Animated Short category.
Regarding Dogtooth: we just proved the aptness of Kris's word 'ugly' to describe this awards season. Chill out, people. I'm not going to lose it because everyone hates The Village even though I think it a wonderful movie.
And I did not like Dogtooth, mainly for the reasons discussed in the show, but that's neither here nor there.
I liked The Village.
Ha. I liked The Village, too. I have one other friend who liked it. The rest – great dislike. To each his/her own.

Kristopher Tapley said...
Thanks, DarkLayers. I think I had ASC on the brain when I said that. So many awards.
And I'd like to think we're above idiocy like Karol's comment around here, but to Brock's (oversold) point, the process that saw Dogtooth nominated was anything but pure, and that's what we're criticizing by saying what we did.
Andrew M said...
Yeah John C. Reily was in 3 of the BP noms in 2003, was nominated for Supp. Actor, and was in The Aviator the next year. That's a pretty good run.
What Scott W. said.
*And I'd like to think we're above idiocy like Karol's comment around here, but to Brock's (oversold) point, the process that saw Dogtooth nominated was anything but pure, and that's what we're criticizing by saying what we did.*
That's fair, but what does that say about the process of voting in the other categories? There must be impure practices used in order to shake up a category and nominate something that (regardless of whether you liked it or not) took some big chances and did not pander to the mainstream? That seems kind of sad.
And I don't mean to criticize you at all, but many people often complain about categories being dull and predictable, but then something like Dogtooth gets in and people start complaining. Was the process really so bad that you would rather see 5 mediocre and dull films get nominated? I don't know the details, but I can't imagine.
I believe it was Anne who talked about when the people who nominated it saw the screening of it. They didn't really respond very well to it at first, but then warmed up to it greatly when they talked about it afterward at dinner. That's the kind of story I love hearing.
maurier said...
The nominating process in the foreign language category it's not perfect, but I cannot imagine one country submitting (for example) more than one movie – the entries from Greece or Peru wouldn't stand a chance to get noticed in the bunch including 10 highly publicized French movies.
Anyway, the Academy always votes for the movie made in the "American style" and this year it's "In a better world".
Evan said...
Fun episode guys- I love hearing people talk about the foreign language films and animated shorts. You were, however, the first people I've heard to both hate Dogtooth (excluding squeamish folks) and the first to say it was a bad pick on the part of the committee– when the alternatives were something like Spain or South Africa's films, is it really such a bad pick? We already have one 'meh'-worthy film in "Outside the Law." I wouldn't have minded Japan's though.
"I believe that Amy Adams gave the better performance and Melissa Leo is overacting." Completely agree, Anne. Then you say Alice in Wonderland is "gorgeous visually." *screeching halt* Haha.
In my mind, the best animation in the animated short category was Madagascar (The Lost Thing was second best), but my favorite was The Gruffalo. The Lost Thing was beautiful but I found it terribly boring and a little mopey ("Guess we're all too busy nowadays to notice…" blech.)
Finally, a question: when you guys talk about hearing from Oscar voters what they're thinking about particular pictures, how do you get this info? Are we talking about a conversation here and there, he-said-she-said, or something more scientific?
i guess Kris you feel as a superhuman just because you're the *big* writer here. if you call someone with some less than nice words, first look in the mirror. idiocy is all over your fascinating 'persona'
Brock: It just reeks of bullshit is all. But a number of Oscar-related things do anyway.
Karol: I think few would argue that what you wrote, aimed at Anne and Me, was out of line. Idiocy is what I call it, though maybe it borders on something worse.
Karol, I don't think he feels solely that he is the big writer here. Guessing someone doesn't like to think or analyze because they don't share your views is mean-spirited and presumptous. It would be one thing if you politely pointed something out that their analysis missed or some way in which it was off the mark. But instead you used his nationality and generalizations to dismiss their opinions.
Kevin K. said...
I agree with Kris and Anne on Dogtooth. It's an awful film, and presumptuous to boot, assuming it can get by on shock value alone. But there's no meaning or value to any of the forced social "commentary" in the film. It's a film that reeks of street-cred pick. Which is exactly why the way it was selected as one of the nominees by the committee is bullshit. That branch fails year after year when they can't nominate Gomorrah or Let the Right One In yet they go for Dogtooth? Fail.
Also, I have to say that Dogtooth's greatest accomplishment is that it actually made me like and appreciate Antichrist, a film I felt was critically flawed, a lot more. There's something to be said about making a Lars Von Trier film look subtle by comparison I guess.
Manos said...
Dogtooth is the most daring pick of this years' Oscars. And you can say whatever you want… speek to the hand…
Conor said...
I wish that in general people didn't associate "daring" with good.
Mr. Tapley, maybe you need to start thinking of wearing glasses, because at the end of my sentence was a smile, which meant you cannot treat the thought i've written too serious. but now it's not the point if you have a sense of humor or not, or if you should contact a doctor cause you might be having some problems with your eyes (or some other parts of your body, hopefully not), it's about you using words you should think twice about, so easily. yeah, in the internet world it's so easy to call someone you cannot look into eyes an idiot without knowing the context. you, as a writer and the defender of language being in the jeopardy of its vulgarization, should behave different way!
and finally, back to the main reason i even commented in the first place. i think there are many differences between Europeans & Americans, few can argue it's not like that. we have different history, sense of humor, different taste, we like it 'harder', we like it 'different', we like it 'braver', we don't like the short cuts in the cinema 'cause then it gets to repetetive.
Dogtooth, is a dark comedy about our modern world taking a bit from Josef Fritzl story. it reminds us we cannot be sure who our neighbor really is, it pays our attention to the anxiety our world is constantly living in, and that is something Europeans & Americans have in common, we share same problems but we have different ways of telling them, and by different you cannot say bad or worse than yours.

"Sensational, exploitative, and horrible." Anne and I have our Dogtooth-Incendies reactions backwards.
Conor FTW.
By the way, Kevin, in fairness to the committee, they didn't have a chance to nominate Let the Right One In as Sweden submitted Everlasting Moments instead. But point taken regardless.
Truth in all "jokes," Karol. But apologies if I read too much into it. Personally I don't think nationality has a place in this discussion, but that's me.
I wasn't aware of that actually. But as you pointed out in the podcast, the way countries chose what films to submit (and the fact that they can only submit one) is suspect. Like I said, that branch just fails year after year with their broken nomination process.
As for Dogtooth, I agree that it enjoys its prurience and snickers contentedly along the way. But that seems more a description than a criticism of a film that is transparent about its intentions, and spells its allegory out right off the top. The great thing about Dogtooth for me is that it fleshes its one joke out with a character for whom this unbelievable situation has real physical and developmental consequences. 'Eldest' starts off as a flat punchline, but that scene in the bathroom near the end has real emotional weight for me: it's uncommonly affecting to see a seemingly empty-headed character make a serious decision which is at once radical and totally in line with her utter inexperience.
And I don't think the movie is condescending to her: it seems genuinely touched and troubled by both the discovery she's come to and the pathetic limitations of it. Or at least I was touched.
i just meant that every country has its own 'mark' if it comes to filmmaking. Czechs are known for lighthearted comedies with situational humor, Poland always tells sad & depressing stories about their sad & depressing history, Swedish people like it more cinematic & less talkative, Spain produces a lot of hot crazy stuff, Americans loves stories about overcoming difficulties & their nationality & attachement to the great country full of freedom etc. and the Greek cinema as of lately deals with with the cultural identity problems associated with the new Europe, especially the unprecedented influx of refugees fleeing collapsing states in the region. you cannot fully admire the filmmaking of each country if you don't know the' background', and you cannot call it bad or trashy if you just didn't get it, because in our world we are always saying one word too much…
p.s. i'm not Greek, i'm not defending the film because of the nationality, i'm a student of the history of filmmaking
Jim T said...
Though a disscussion has already taken place, I'd like to say a few things about Dogtooth.
Well, let's say both your and Anne's comments were unfortunate. You're basically saying that a film many people (critics and otherwise) loved, was chosen just so they can brag about how cool they are but you two were able to see right through its pretentiousness.
I thought the movie justified its "weird" means and managed to make tis point.
To say that it was suposed to attack/shock a particular group of people for the sake of attacking/socking is an unwelcome assumption.
You certainly aren't so hard on movies that actually exist mainly to make money if you happen to like them.
And I do think a "daring choice" is a good choice. Quality is subjective. Riskiness, not so much.
For example, you obviously think The King's Speech is a good choice because you like it. But is that a strong reason?
Picking a far from mainstream film is because it shows openmindedness.
Based on the general tastes of the Academy, it's not crazy to say that they just wanted to improve their image, but not in the case a movie so many people admired, whether it was right after they had watched it or after additional consideration.
Karol: So what you're saying is that Kris doesn't have the right to call a film he didn't like a bad film because he's American and the film isn't American? That's some epic bullshit if I ever heard it.
Graysmith said...
These last few Oscar Talks feel like they've been more or less just endless arguing. I couldn't make it through all of last week's podcast, and I'm only ten minutes into this one and I just can't keep listening to this. If it is because there really isn't much of anything to talk about except to endlessly argue your own viewpoints, I don't know.. But maybe next year cut down the Oscar Talks in the last few weeks?
My previous comment is still pending moderation but big Oscar broadcast changes were announced today.
– Virtual sets including some based on animated films.
– No film montages.
– No 5 acting winners as presenters.
Glenn said...
I'm so glad Kris and Anne didn't like "Dogtooth". Every single arthouse cliche is on display with that one.
And the bit about the season being "ugly" is spot on. A certain female Oscar webmaster blocked me on Twitter because I accused her (and Scott Feinberg for that matter) of being PR machines for The Social Network (and Melissa Leo). This was not the year for transparency, was it?
Jason Travis said...
Where are her podcasts? All I see is articles and recent posts. When I searched Podcasts, nothing came up.
Um, Oscar Poker. I think she has some posts pertaining to it.
Kris, I understand the thought process of them not understand what is Art Direction and what is a Visual Effect in regards to Inception…but didn't Avatar win that award last year?
Kris asks how one can argue with the editing of "Inception." I found the editing the weakest element of the film in that the pacing was monotonously bam-bam-bam-bam. The editing kept the plot clear–that's very important–but it wasn't enjoyable to watch, and that's related directly to the editing (and the emptiness of the material).
Graysmith: Some think we're too cordial and don't argue enough. Can't please everyone I guess.
Mike: Yes, and that's my point, as in, that's how I was justifying a potential win for the film there, in so much as I don't think it would be for the "correct" reasons for a great many.
Jason: ?
Hans said...
BAFTA was all too willing to give Slumdog a sweep, even in technical categories it didn't deserve (Cinematography, Editing, Sound). If TKS really is so beloved, the below-the-line folks should have been all too willing to check the film off in a heart beat. The only tech it won was Music. The only tech guild it has won is Art Direction in its own period category. If an editor doesn't think TKS is deserving of its own award, then I don't see him/her being that eager to check it off for Art Direction. I don't think tech departments necessarily work independently of each other; the Makeup artists surely have to work together with the Costume Designers, and an Editor needs to know what good art direction looks like in order to sew the movie together.

It seems that all the data collection manufactures have been spending all their time of late bringing out new smartphone type devices. It is nice to see that the folks at Symbol recognize that there is still a need to evolve the humble barcode scanner and their new CS3000 is a good example of scanner innovation.
For quite a while, there has been a Symbol scanner small enough to keep on a key chain – aimed mainly at consumers.
The CS3000 is a little larger and is aimed more at Enterprise customers who need to be able to quickly capture barcode data with a super-portable device.
CS3000 can be used in two modes – batch and Bluetooth.
The batch mode does just as you would think – stores the captured scans in memory and uploads to a computer when placed in a cradle. Bluetooth mode is intended to be able to instantly upload data to a Bluetooth enabled computer or smartphone (wonder if I could use with my iPhone?).
Despite the rather plastic look, the CS3000 is designed to be able to survive the inevitable drops to concrete floors – I wouldn't suggest using for your tough warehouse jobs though! If you have 2D barcodes you are out of luck. The only scanner available is a 1D laser one. Maybe Moto is adopting the Apple technique of holding back features and will include 2D in next year's version.
So if you need a simple, low cost (list price is a shade over $300) 1D scanning system, the CS3000 could be it. It already shows up in the inventory systems of the AutoID distributers so should be available pretty soon.
Want to learn more? Check out Symbol's video here. Need some? I'm your man for that!
I think this in an interesting little device – hopefully I'll be able to get hold of one to try out soon.

We are about to participate in the annual St. Patrick's Day parade in Cottleville this weekend but we want to get the word our for our next event coming up on March 18th.
This next event is the 2017 Confluence Trash Bash put on by Greenway Network, LLC. , Missouri Stream Teams including the League of Watershed Guardians and sponsored by K-She 95, Missouri American Water and many more.
This is a grass-roots event that is volunteer driven and is such a great opportunity to give back! It's great for the soul and perfect for families, individuals, businesses, and groups to get outside, revel in the crisp spring air and do some good for the environment by picking yards of trash out of our river banks. According to Kenneth V. Thomas III, a crew leader, seven-year veteran and co-founder of the League of Watershed Guardians there are over 5,000 teams with ~90,000 active volunteer members throughout the state.
The event starts with breakfast catered by St. Louis Bread Company at 8 am on Saturday, March 18th and ends at 1 pm. There will be bales of hay to sit on and a few scattered picnic tables but you are welcome to bring your own chairs and coolers if you like.
Step 1: Drive out to the iconic Old Chain of Rocks bridge and park on the Missouri side. The parking lot will be open. There will be huge dumpsters there for us to deposit all the trash and this year there will be separate recycling stations. (New!) Typically we pull one whole dumpster full of JUST TIRES out of the woods! I was stunned at the sight the first time I volunteered!
Step 2: Register! There will be a table where you can sign a waiver or you can print and sign one prior to arrival. They will have maps of different sites and if you are so inclined, and arrive early enough, you can choose an island site where they will row you out on the Mississippi River to an island to pick up trash. How many chances do you get to do something like that! Very cool!
Step 3: Do some good!
Dress first for the weather and also to get dirty! Old clothes, hiking boots, if you have them, gloves and hats etc.
Lunch if you like or we can all go somewhere afterward to eat.

Choosing the right school for your child is one of the biggest decisions you will make on behalf of your child and we seem flooded with information these days: HSC and NAPLAN results, glossy brochures, social media, whizbang websites and the like.
This year, Arden Anglican School has a unique opportunity for prospective parents to view both their Primary Campus (Beecroft) and Secondary Campus (Epping) on the same day. "This opportunity will be a great day where parents can gain a real insight into Arden and how we operate on both sites. Our students will be the tour guides and they love to show guests around our beautiful school of which they are so proud," said Principal Graham Anderson.
Arden will charter a double decker bus to take guests between Beecroft and Epping and explained this is especially important for those considering enrolment from the Primary years. "We want families to come and see the school as many times as they need to in order to feel fully informed and make the best choice for their children," added Mrs Hutchens.
Start the process early so that you don't miss out on your school of first choice.
Always tour when the school is in action.
Base your decision on all the information – not just a results snap shot or a good tour guide.
Partake in the hospitality and listen to the conversations, and the music!
Don't decide on the day. Think about the school that best matches your child and family values.
Arden Anglican School will hold its Open Day on Friday 8 March 2019 at 9am. Online registration essential.

Pataphysic Postal Service seeks to motivate and inspire girls between ages 6 and 11. Through co – created letters with women scientists, in which girls explore their surroundings using science and technology as a medium with the help of activities they can do in their spare time parallel to their formal education.
Girls are as curious as boys in learning how the world works through problem solving. However, barriers such as gender stereotypes, reinforced at school as well at home, legitimate socially constructed misconceptions about the abilities that children are supposed to have according to their gender.
The limited presence of feminine role models in science and technology, the established ideas about which behaviors and roles girls must fit in at certain ages pull them away from exploration practices, needed to maintain the interest in science and technology.
Pataphysical Postal Service invites girls to discover the world, for that purpose it uses wonder, curiosity, imagination, and integrates the feminist perspective of care introduced by María Puig de la Bellacasa about techno-science thinking. Such perspective seeks to favor aspects such as care, and affection, generally associated with femininity when focusing on science and technology topics. Based on this concept, this project aims to inspire girls to get interested in science and technology, but also to teach girls and boys that science and technology must be conceived for the welfare and the common weal . This project builds upon of Pataphysics, defined by the writer Alfred Jarry as "the science of imaginary solutions" , with the purpose to expand the creative possibilities of the project when girls learn and cultivate a scientific spirit, constructing their point of view about the entourage they explore.

I am Running for Feel the Force Day …. My partner in crime Sam will be joining me again this year, along with Jonathan and Mandy will make up the #TeamRun4FTFD to raise funds.
Jonathan has cerebal palsy and he doesn't let that slow him down. Mad on trucks, cars and any kind of awesome vehicle (just see Shaw on Tour for details), he has recently done a bunch of exciting stuff including running (in a race chair), ice skating and trampolining.
Mandy is the biscuit queen 🙂 Famous for her cakes and biscuits at Feel the Force Day – last year she raised over £250! As well as baking she is Jonathan's carer and they are a formidable team .. We are really looking forward to having them on the journey this year.
For those of you who do not know what Feel the Force Day is .. Feel the Force Day events are film and TV conventions with a difference. The events are designed around disabled people and make them as accessible as possible. Access does not just mean a disabled loo and a ramp, it's about attitude, contact and all the subtle things that make things easier. Most conventions have signs to do not touch – FTFD events are all about touch and smell in every sense. Costumers make themselves available to visually impared guests to touch, quiet rooms are available for guests who can not cope with the hussle and bussle of a busy event and there are one on one sessions with costumes and props for guests too.
So I am asking kindly for any donations to our team and for you to spread the word ..
Any sharing or *pimping* of the cause would be amazing .. and thank you to those who donated last year and have this year too .. I feel so pasionate about this cause and it is entirely run and funded by volunteers.


Humanitarian Work: Co-founder of 'Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation'.
Gordon Moore, better known as the co-founder of the 'Intel Corporation' is presently the Chairman Emeritus of the company. He has been an instrumental figure in the world of technology and has achieved many accolades with his exceptional endeavours. He pursued studies in the discipline of chemistry and also had physics as a subject. Much is not known about his childhood and early life. However, as a university student he took immense interest in research work and even gained a doctoral degree from 'Caltech'. He worked with semiconductors when he was chosen as one among the group of eight people by physicist William Shockley. He worked with that physicist for some time but the turning point in his life was when he decided to part ways with the physicist and joined in the 'Fairchild Semiconductor' venture by Sherman Fairchild. His initiative to co-found the 'Intel Corporation' and dabble with business along with his scientific skills was a major milestone in the life of this entrepreneur. However, even before the launch of this company, he became renowned owing to his observation known as 'Moore's Law'. This was an important contribution which Gordon made towards the world of technology. Apart from this he is credited with many other developments which he has made through Intel, and is on the way to present the world with many more inventions.
On 3rd January, 1929, Gordon Earle Moore was born in Francisco, California.
Gordon completed his schooling from 'Sequoia High School' located in Redwood City, and then enrolled at the 'San Jose State University'. He then joined the 'University of California', Berkeley, and in 1950, he completed his B.Sc. degree in chemistry.
Soon after he joined the 'California Institute of Technology' (Caltech) where he pursued PhD in chemistry with a minor in physics.
During 1953-56, Gordon was engaged in postdoctoral research which he conducted at the 'Applied Physics Laboratory' of 'John Hopkins University' located in Baltimore.
In 1954, he earned his PhD. from the 'California Institute of Technology' (Caltech).
He collaborated with physicist William Shockley and worked with him at the 'Shockley Semiconductor Laboratory' which was a section of the company 'Beckman Instruments'.
However, in 1957, a group consisting eight people who were inducted into the laboratory by Shockley, parted ways with the laboratory and Moore was one of them. This group of eight talented PhD graduates were together termed as the 'Traitorous eight'.
These traitorous eight received support from the American inventor and entrepreneur Sherman Fairchild. The 'Fairchild Semiconductor' company was formed and these eight people were engaged in the company.
Gordon was appointed as the director of the research and development (R&D) of 'Fairchild Semiconductor' in 1965. During the same time, he was interviewed by the magazine 'Electronics' and in an answer to a question regarding the future of semiconductor components, he made an observation which was popularized as the 'Moore's Law'.
This observation was published in the 'Electronics' magazine on 19th April, 1965. It said 'the number of transistors per square inch on integrated circuits had doubled every year since the integrated circuit was invented'. He also observed that the trend will continue to be the same for at least the next ten years.
However, a decade later, he made some change in the observation and stated that the trend will follow every two years instead of one year. This has been a significant and has helped the semiconductor industry in a large way.
He founded the 'NM Electronics' in 1968, along with business personality Robert Noyce. This company later went on to become the renowned 'Intel Corporation'.
Moore held the position of Executive Vice President before he was named the President of the 'Intel Corporation' in 1975.
From April 1979, this talented scientist served as the Chief Executive Officer of the company and held the office till 1987. He also chaired the Board of Directors of the corporation during the same time and was also a board member of the 'Caltech'.
From 1991 to 1996, he was engaged with the biotechnology company 'Gilead Sciences' as the member of the Business Advisory Board. He was then made one of the members of the Board of Directors of the company.
In 1993, he was elected as the Chairperson of the Board of Trustees of the 'California Institute of technology' (Caltech). Presently, he is a life trustee of the institute.
He continued to chair the Board of Directors of 'Intel' till 1997, and after that he was made the Chairman Emeritus of the corporation.
In the year 2000, Moore and his wife Betty co-founded the organization named 'Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation'. This organization mainly focuses on conservation of the environment. This learned personality also worked with the NGO named 'Conservation International' for a few years.
He is a co-founder of the technology giant 'Intel Corporation' and has been instrumental in the various technological developments which the corporation has undertaken since its inception.
However, one of his most significant contribution to the world of technology is his observation popularly known as the 'Moore's Law'. The law which has a phenomenal impact on miniaturization of semiconductor industry forecasted that in an integrated circuit, the number of electronic components has been increasing twice in number in every two years.
In 1976, he was made a member of the 'National Academy of Engineering'.
President George H. W. Bush honoured him with the 'National Medal of Technology and Innovation' in 1990.
He was made a Fellow of the 'Computer History Museum' in 1998.
For his exceptional contributions towards the field of chemistry and science, he was honoured with the 'Othmer Gold Medal' in 2001.
In 2002, he was bestowed with the 'Presidential Medal of Freedom' and the same year, he was a recipient of the 'Bower Award' which he won for Business Leadership.
The following year, he became a Fellow of the 'American Association for the Advancement of Science'.
In 2008, he was a recipient of the 'IEEE Medal of Honor' and two years later he received the 'Future Dan David Prize' for his outstanding work in the field of telecommunications.
On 9th September, 1950, Gordon married Betty Whitaker and the couple is blessed with two children named Steve Moore and Kenneth Moore.
He has been involved in many philanthropic works and has provided huge donations to many organizations such as 'Caltech' and 'University of California'. The second largest optical telescope of the world named 'Thirty Meter Telescope' was built with the donation provided by this distinguished scientist.
He has been involved in environmental conservation projects and in 2002 he was bestowed with the 'Order of the Golden Ark' by Prince Bernhard of Lippe-Biesterfeld for his contributions towards the conservation of the environment. He shared this honour with Claude Gascon, who is the Senior Vice President of the NGO 'Conservation International'.
Many institutions like 'The Electrochemical Society' and the 'Society of Chemical Industry' present awards and medals in the name of this celebrated scientist.
According to 'Forbes' this famous entrepreneur has a net worth of 6.8 billion as of June 2015.
The 'Personal Genome Machine Platform' of the 'Ion Torrent' sequenced Moore's genome which was the first human genome sequenced in the platform.


A reflection on my accomplishments and failures in 2014. Of course, I touch on what I'd like to change and how I'd like to improve in 2015.
Many people use the new year as a time to make resolutions or set goals. Before doing that, I like to review the goals I had set for the previous year, see how well I did (or didn't do), and use that insight to help set the next round of goals. One reason for creating a blog is for personal accountability, so that starts with making at least some of my accomplishments and failures public. It may seem odd for my first blog entry to be a "year in review" since the blog hasn't been around for a year, but I've been around all year and this process would take place with or without the blog. However, there's a good reason for making this my first entry and I'll address that below. My personal goals for 2014 mostly focused on developing better habits for reading and fitness as well as a few other items.
I started 2015 on a great streak, but it didn't hold up all year. Here are the habits I need to pick up again and a few other targets for 2016.
It's that time of year again when most of us take a moment to reflect on what we've achieved in the last year and set some new (or old as the case may be) goals for the new year. I had a great 2014 as far as habit building, but 2015 lost traction and slipped a lot. It'll take a ton of effort to get my momentum back in 2016, but I know I have it in me since I've done it before.

Cherry Creek Elementary is moving ahead into the 21st century with 12 new Chromebooks for the 5th grade. That is 4 of them for each classroom. 5th grade is the guinea pig for this new technology. If everything works out more classrooms will be getting Chromebooks in the future. These new Chromebooks will allow the teachers to develop more meaningful lesson plans integrating much more technology into the classroom. This will also help keep the students interest. Thank you Mr. Duncan for the Chromebooks.
On April 17th, Cherry Creek hosted Area PTA Meeting. As part of the meeting, Mrs. Alderks' class performed the dance "Magic". Mrs. Deardeuff also led the school choir in singing "Seize the Day" from Newsies. Both groups did an amazing job. Nancy Taylor was presented with the PTA Service Award which was well-deserved. We love Mrs. Taylor at Cherry Creek! We would like to thank our PTA President Susan Van Leuven and our President-Elect Heather Johnson for providing amazing food, drinks and decoration for the meeting. We also need to thank our Cub Scouts that helped out with the flag ceremony. We love our PTA and appreciate all that they do for our school.
The sixth graders had their final Hershey Track experience. The students performed excellently, enjoyed chilly, but beautiful weather, and placed in multiple categories. Congratulations to all the participants and victors!
Mrs. Alderks & Boyers class, won an art contest for the Daily Herald.
a professional graphic artist chose a finalist for each chapter.
As an end-of-unit celebration, the sixth graders enjoyed a medieval banquet and festival, wearing the attire of the time period. The feast was a menu of chili, toppings, rolls and capri sun. Students provided our entertainment in the form of a talent show. The fifth graders were challenged to a game of capture the flag on the field as the culmination of the day's festivities. Heraldry, full stomachs and celebration was had by all.
The sixth graders were invited to attend the annual program at BYU called Project Youth. BYU student volunteers host 1200 sixth graders from all over the county and introduce them to college life and experiences. Students were able to tour the campus and hear professors talk about their areas of expertise, everything from science to social work to education to anatomy to physical education, etc. They had a surprise snow storm while touring the campus. Students were rushing to find places of refuge to try to stay dry. Typically lunch is eaten outside but due to the unseasonal weather, the students ate in the Fine Arts Building. The end of the day was spent in a pep rally with BYU football players, cheerleaders, dancers from many cultures with plenty of cheering and dancing done by the sixth graders as well. The students were the star of the closing ceremonies slideshow. Thank you to BYU for always inviting Cherry Creek to their school and thanks to the students for representing Cherry Creek well.
Congratulations to our science fair winners from the CUSEF Science Fair held at BYU in March! Cherry Creek was well represented and 3 of our students received trophies: Dylan Mitchell, Brandon Jepson and Tad Ninomiya.
We have a fabulous PTA and we are thankful for all their hard work on behalf of the students and teachers. Here is the latest newsletter in English and Spanish.


SAN DIEGO – Police were investigating a possible threat to High Tech High in Point Loma Tuesday morning.
A threatening message was found in a girl's restroom prompting school officials to call San Diego police, according to an email sent to parents.
Police officers were seen at the school near Liberty Station around 7:45 a.m. Tuesday.
A parent told FOX 5, students just returned to school Tuesday morning after having Friday and Monday off. There was a chance the graffiti had been in the restroom since Thursday after school.
School officials said the threat was under investigation and extra officers would remain at the school Tuesday.


Can you imagine a world without music? Even the birds sing!
You might find yourself with tunes in your head, like jingles you find yourself humming when you need to focus or calm down. As we were born listening to a heartbeat, so we move in rhythm every day; some would say our very breath is musical.
Many believe they are "not talented" and may wish to sing or learn an instrument, but feel intimidated. Music doesn't belong to any particular age group, nor can we confine our need for it to talent shows and people we are told are exceptional.
Feef Mooney's Music for Life Coaching exists to encourage music in those who crave but fear approaching the task of learning. With gentle encouragement and individualized goals, Mooney befriends her clients and works on a solely one-to-one basis. Now you can learn to play guitar, piano, sing, or even record your music. You will be supported and feel focused to learn and achieve, so that you can share music with friends, family and colleagues.
"No one is really self-taught," comments Mooney. "Music is a social art. We learn by listening and trusting, as we each find our own unique talents," she says.

Fatal Lust, Fatal Consequences
August 1, 2014 Ancient History revisited
'What is left when honour is lost?'
To love and be loved is the greatest desire every person hopes to have. It is human nature, written in our DNA since the conception of people. The image of stone-age man dragging a female by her hair, whether correct hypothesis or not, is a scene a few may recognise. The point is love is an illogical emotion, it makes people do things they may not normally do. Maslow understood this as he ranked it as number 3 on his hierarchy of need:
• Social Needs – belongingness, affection and love, – from work group, family, friends, romantic relationships.
He believed people are 'motivated to achieve certain needs' and when you succeed that level you move onto the next. So was Paris motivated by need or the desire to possess the most beautiful woman in the world?
Enrique Simonet (1866–1927)
Spanish: El juicio de Paris
The painting shows the Judgment of Paris, an event in Greek mythology. Figures, from left to right: The goddesses Athena, Hera and Aphrodite, then Aphrodite's son, Eros, and Paris.
Museum of Málaga
Paris was married to a nymph Oenone, who he fell in love with while watching over his cattle on Mount Ida. She had the gift of foresight and predicted he would fall for another woman. She did not entirely accept this prophecy as Paris declared his undying love for her every day and etched her name on tree trunks. So when the three goddesses approached him to choose the most beautiful of three, why did he choose Aphrodite's offer? Didn't he already have a gorgeous wife he swore never to leave?
There wasn't much thinking go on, not upstairs in any case. Paris fell in love with the bribe. To be offered the most 'beautiful woman in world' was the ultimate prize. And that's what the goddesses presented—three choices, three incredible options. He didn't stop to consider the consequences of his decision:
1. Helen was a married woman
2. She had a child
3. She came from a powerful and warrior family
'…when Paris first committed that act of blind folly at the judgement in his shepherd's hut, when he humiliated Hera and Athena by preferring Aphrodite—whose reward was his fatal lust for women.'
Book 24, Lines 27-30
Paris had his reasons for choosing love over power and bravery. He thought he could do better than Theseus, who had kidnapped Helen, raped and kept her imprisoned until her brothers rescued her. He wasn't going to let the same thing happen to him. After all, he was visited by three goddesses and saw this as a sign of his fortunes changing. And they did.
Paris, in "Phrygian dress", a second-century CE Roman marble
The King's Library, British Museum
Apart from Helen, Paris was the most despised character in the Iliad. Besides what Menelaos and the Akhaians thought of him, the Trojans loathed him. He did bring war upon them which went on for ten long and bloody years. His brother Hektor didn't like him and even Helen disclosed her disgust with him. 'I was hoping you had fallen there to the mighty warrior who was once my husband!' Harsh words, yet perhaps reveals Helen was abducted rather than a willing absconder.
Although Paris was a coward he did have a strong resolve, especially when it came to Helen. He recoiled at the thought of one to one combat with Menelaos knowing full well he was no match for the Spartan king and only does at Hektor's insistence. He refused to negotiate Helen's return and instead offered the precious items he stole when he took her. He does go out and fight, in the attempt to show he can be brave. He killed two men, wounded Diomedes and Makhaon and duelled Menelaos.
Was it Paris' entire fault? In part. He made the choice, no-one twisted his arm, yet he was a pawn in this game played by the gods. What are your thoughts? Is Paris a pawn or a player? Love to hear from you.
Thanks for reading and visiting.

Paris made the choice himself. Yet this is an example the ancient greeks wanted to teach to the younger generations, Hubris. Paris was by all accounts a very handsome man and had it all by many standards of the day. A prince, good looks, a beautiful wife, luxury etc. But he wanted more and he thought because of his status he should have everything and did not care about the others.
Even his idea that he was a great warrior when he was no wear near his brother. Perhaps pride that he wanted to best his brother in this area of possessing Helen, the most beautiful woman he would win a sibling rivalry. "You might be a great warrior but I had the most women and the most beautiful too." Pride goeth before a fall. Proverbs 16:18 'Hubris'
Linnea Tanner
Reblogged this on Apollo's Raven and commented:
Thought-provoking Article on Paris from the Illiad from One of My Favorite Blogs ETERNAL ATLANTIS
The gods tempt Paris…..similar to God tempting Adam. But at the end of the day, Paris had free will and a certain amount of power! So many modern men make the same mistakes and betray their families. I love the painting: The Judgement of Paris.
As they say "to err is human" though one would like to believe a little thought is given!
Hi Luciana,
I really enjoy your continuation of studying various characters from Homer's Illiad. This epic tale has so many rich themes regarding the follies of the various heroes. Certainly, fatal lust for women has been the downfall of many great men and it is interesting that Paris would choose love over power and bravery. As it was ultimately his decision, I believe Paris was a player whose action had tragic consequences on his homeland and family. This has been a flaw that has been repeated throughout history, including King Henry VIII whose fatal love for Anne Boleyn resulted in the establishment of a new church.
Thank you for sharing your insight on another thought-provoking article.
Hi Linnea,
Thank you, it has been so far a interesting process, delving into the characters from the Iliad and in a way, insight into Homer's persona. Lust rather than love is the main theme in the story and in history. It seems it will always be a flaw in the human psyche, the confusion between love and lust.
I do enjoy reading your comments.
Paris like many of us fall for those things we can't have. This tale has always made me wonder about whether it is love or lust that drives Paris. Which you have captured in your quote '…when Paris first committed that act of blind folly at the judgement in his shepherd's hut, when he humiliated Hera and Athena by preferring Aphrodite—whose reward was his fatal lust for women.' Book 24, Lines 27-30
I thank you for sharing these stories. To find one's true love has been the tale in many a myth and many a story, but to love oneself truly must be the place to start. It is the warning in Book 24, Lines 27-30 for all of us that to be driven by lust will be fatal to us and for humankind but love well that is another story.
Your first line captures it all James, we are subjected to want things we can't have and in some cases suffer the consequences.
Paris' story and that of his people is a cautionary tale one that in our current times needs to be heeded!
thank you for your comment 😀
Hi dear Luciana.
What a wonderful post… As you know I have once written about The apple of discord and The Judgement of Paris… And we both recognize these events as the first ones leading to trojan War..
Was it Paris' entire fault?… I believe he was more a player than a pawn… Otherwise he wouldn't have taken his choice so far… By abducting Helen (Menelaus wife)…
Paris reminded me of Icarus somehow… A good looking young prince who wanted to take it further, guided by passions and neverending desires.
One thing is sure though… If he hadn't made that choice, there wouldn't have been Trojan War.
Thanks for sharing, cara amica. Ciao, Luciana,
Aquileana 🙂
Ciao Cara Aquileana
I like the parallel between Icarus and Paris. Both made choices which were detrimental to each and where hubris was a major factor.
Paris did have a choice, he was already married and yet still chose another woman over power and wealth. What was he exactly looking for? I think that's another question that needs addressing.
Mille grazie bella
Great post, but I really wanted to add something about Carthage (but for some reason, WP wouldn't let me comment): After Hannibal, such was Rome's rage against Carthage that its legionaries sowed salt in its soil upon conquering it, to ensure that nothing ever grew there again!
Hi Nicholas, I closed the comments, too much spam.
A pity Rome destroyed Carthage, it was an amazing city.
I think Paris was a pawn, as all humans were in the gods' exploits, but he also could have made a wiser choice than he did. The shallowness of his choice stands out in my mind, but I try to remember how different the times and cultures were back then.
Very true, times and cultures were very different yet I also think he was fickle. He made a decision based on possessing a woman, a beautiful one, yet for his own pleasure.
Hmmm… somethings don't change!
Thank you JM.
Christy Birmingham
Ah, Paris. He had free will and made a choice… But sometimes things look so different when we look at them now than they did in the past when we made those decisions…
True. Hindsight is always great! If only I knew what I know now then!

Marathon swimmers are not your average humans. They voluntarily push themselves beyond the normal. Cold, rough and tough are three adjectives that are commonly used among the marathon swimming crowd.
But Lewis Pugh takes cold, rough and tough to an entirely different level.
The former maritime lawyer and British Special Air Service warrior has done plenty of channel swims and ultra-marathon swims, but it is also his swims on high (on Mount Everest), down south (off Antarctica), and up north (across the North Pole) where he has established his name and reputation. His swims take on a significant amount of risk that requires full attention by his military experience and scientific mind. He surrounds himself by teams of experts and tackles swims that are considered impossible by the average person and extraordinarily daunting by his fellow aquatic adventurers.
For his body of work in the water as a pioneer swimmer and on land as an ocean advocate, Pugh was recognized as an Honour Swimmer by the International Marathon Swimming Hall of Fame as a member of its Class of 2013.
"The IMSHOF extends its hearty congratulations to Lewis on his selection. The International Marathon Swimming Hall of Fame welcomes him into the fold of the truly greats in our sport of marathon swimming," said Honorary Secretary Dale Petranech.
"Lewis Pugh is nothing short of extraordinary," agreed Steven Munatones, Vice President of the International Marathon Swimming Hall of Fame. "He is a modern-day Renaissance Man - lawyer, Special Forces warrior, environmentalist, pioneering athlete. If your interest is swimming, Lewis's life is as exciting as a Hollywood action hero. What he does cannot be made up. As a pioneer, he helps elevate our sport and enable both swimmers and non-swimmers alike to think of what is possible and how to get there."
Honour Swimmers include Australia's Melissa Cunningham, Great Britain's Lewis Pugh, and Great Britain's Nick Adams.
Ned Denison received the Irving Davids-Captain Roger Wheeler Memorial Award.
The Honour Administrator includes Fiji's Dennis Miller and American coach Don Watson.
Their formal induction will take place during the annual International Marathon Swimming Hall of Fame ceremonies. In 2011, the ceremonies were held in the United Nations Building in New York City. In 2012, the ceremonies were held on the Queen Mary in Long Beach, California.
