Stuttgart 21: Down the Rabbit Hole
Posted on December 7, 2010	by Autumn Bernstein
My second night in Stuttgart I was walking through the snowy Christmas Market when I heard a screeching racket like hundreds of kazoos being abused. I walked in the direction of the noise and found myself at a Stuttgart 21 protest outside City Hall. I'd encountered a handful of protestors at the train station the night before, but this was far bigger and more organized. There were, yes, kazoos, and costumes, and signs, and a song about the train station set to the tune of Beethoven's Ode to Joy, and chants of "Oben Bleiben" which means "keep it above ground" (a reference to the undergrounding of the station and the tunnels). My favorite part was the dancing, chain-smoking white rabbit mascots.
This is about the time I started feeling all kinds of conflicted. On the one hand, I can't help but relate to the protestors. I love a good protest. I love the expression of idealism, the truth-telling, the temporary suspension of political reality. Its hard for me to look on a scene like this and not want to be a part of it. These are MY PEOPLE.
On the other hand, I am inclined to support investments in transit and urban regeneration unless there is some really compelling reason not to. I get frustrated with NIMBYs (Not In My Back Yard types) who would rather see the world burn than a three-story building or a new train line in their neighborhood.
So, are these just a bunch of NIMBYs, or are the angry bunnies right?
The Project:
According to the backers of the Stuttgart 21 project, the current Stuttgart station (which is, importantly, a "terminal" station meaning the tracks end at the station) and track system is too small and antiquated for the growing number of local, regional and international trains that pass through Stuttgart every day. Train congestion is a big problem here, and delays in one place create ripple effects throughout the system. Urbanists are also excited about the prospect of a huge redevelopment area in the city center, which is otherwise completely built-out. The project is being pushed by the City of Stuttgart and the national rail service, DeutscheBahn. Its also supported by the regional and state governments.
Without getting into too much detail, in essence the project would:
Replace the 1920s-era terminal station and railyard with a new, underground through station so that trains could keep going, rather than having to stop and go back the same way.
Create a new mixed-used district on the old railyard.
Build a new train station at the airport and a new, fast connection between the airport and the main station.
Build 30km of new underground tunnels to increase the capacity and facilitate the movement of trains in and out of the new stations.
Here's a visual of the new underground station, with the old station above on the right.
Click here to see more photos of the proposed project.
The project made it through the planning and approval process in the late 1990s and early 2000s with little controversy, but construction was delayed by financing issues until earlier this year, and that's when the trouble began.
The opposition:
The opposition is being led by the Green Party and environmental groups. Opponents cite concerns about the cost of the project being too high for the benefits – it will cost 5 billion euros and is projected to increase capacity by 30% – but opponents think the final cost will be higher and the capacity lower. They argue that there are more pressing priorities elsewhere in the national train system.
The plan would also impact the adjacent city park, a jewel that stretches from the Neckar River through the heart of the city and includes a fantastic mineral spring complex, one of the largest in Europe. The park itself would remain a public space, but the area adjacent to the station would be affected, because the underground station and tunnels will go beneath a section of the park. Several hundred trees must be cut down to allow construction and tunneling to take place. September's bloody protest happened when the first trees were cut down. Today, a round-the-clock volunteer park guard patrols the area, and shrines have been set up at the base of trees slated for destruction.
A shrine at the base of a tree slated for destruction. The german word for felling trees? Hack.
Perhaps the most deeply-held concern is the new development on the railyard site – what it will it look like? Who will control it, who will benefit from it? What will happen to the surrounding neighborhoods?
Opponents are advocating for an alternative which would keep the existing terminus station intact and upgrade it to include more tracks. This alternative would cost much less, would eliminate the need for extensive tunneling, and would also eliminate the redevelopment option.
The opponents have been unsuccessful in getting traction for their proposal, largely because the adopted plan was approved ten years ago and fully financed three years ago, and their alternative wasn't studied at that time. As so often happens, they came too late to the party.
What's really going on here?
I think the culture of protest that has sprung up around this project runs deeper than what is being debated in the newspapers and meetings. People don't let themselves get bloodied by police because they're worried about whether a through-station or a terminal station will increase capacity. There's a sense that people have lost the power to determine their city's future, that large and invisible forces are pulling the strings for their own nefarious purposes. Most of all they suspect those who want to redevelop the railyard. In the context of the last century, I can understand why Germans would feel helpless when it comes to their cities.
Stuttgart, like many German cities, was obliterated by Allied bombs at the end of WW2 and had to be almost completely rebuilt. A great debate among architects and planners all over Germany was whether to faithfully reconstruct the old city, or to make a clean break with the past and start fresh with new, modern architecture. The modernists largely won the debate. Much of Stuttgart's architecture is bland, generic post-war architecture – at least 60% I'd say. Some of it is OK, but a lot of it was built quickly, to get a roof over many heads, and lacks any sense of place or character.
In downtown Stuttgart, historic buildings are mostly dwarfed by post-war monoliths.
But now the pendulum seems to be swinging back the other direction. The handful of pre-war buildings that survived the bombs are cherished, and in recent years all across Germany cities are investing millions to faithfully reconstruct pre-war churches and palaces. Stuttgart spent millions to rebuild its historical Neues Schloss palace after it was obliterated by the bombs.
The rebuilt Neues Schloss palace
Stuttgart's main train station is one of those rare important buildings that somehow survived the war. Built in the 1920s Weimar Republic era and completed just a few years before Hitler came to power, the building is simple and unimposing, not particularly beautiful. To me it feels heavy with foreshadowing.

But as one protestor reminded me, Germany has a long history before those twelve horrible years of Nazi rule. For obvious reasons, Germany has turned away from glorifying its past and instead focuses on being a modern, forward-looking society. But in this relentlessly globalizing world, people long to feel a sense of place and history. The train station and its adjacent park are one of the only places that are untouched, where you can feel a sense of what Stuttgart must have been like before the war changed everything.
So along comes a plan which promises to radically remake the city – again – and fundamentally alter an historic touchstone. The plan calls for keeping the main part of the train station intact as a sort of entry hall and museum, but one wing of the building will be knocked down and most of the station's essential functions will move into a new underground station. And the whole area around the station will look completely different as the railyard is redeveloped.
On the deepest level, Stuttgart 21 has sparked feelings of helplessness in the face of powerful forces that can tear apart communities. People here feel like they were blindsided by this project and didn't have the opportunity to have their opinions heard. Most of the protestors didn't even know about the project, or only had a vague sense of it, before construction began. The ten-year delay between approval and construction certainly didn't help. One planning official admitted to me that they didn't foresee the protests, and so they didn't make enough of an effort to make sure people were fully aware of what was happening.
Is this what happens when smart growth goes mainstream? In California we're struggling against the old paradigm of cars and sprawl. We are trying to create a new paradigm, and in the last few years we've made a lot of progress. In Germany, they're already there. The powerful institutions all support massive investments in transit infrastructure and urban regeneration, both because they're politically helpful and there's money to be made. Stuttgart is perhaps a cautionary tale for what can happen when good ideas go mainstream and get ahead of their constituency.
Coming Thursday: Part Three (the final installment), where I'll tackle the question of trading off local impacts vs. global benefits and how those forces are seeking equilibrium in Stuttgart. Also, I have a chance encounter with the chain-smoking bunny mascots – and learn what they REALLY want.

Fantastic story Autumn. Sorry for all my comments – but I just can't get enough. "Are these just a bunch of NIMBYs, or are the angry bunnies right?" !! What a good question. But more seriously – what a thoughtful recapitulation on German's history. I'm torn myself.

Autumn – this is FASCINATING! I didn't even know this was going in Germany until reading your blog – and now I feel so confused. You make an excellent case for both sides – I never thought I would be torn by transit development … and yet I am. Excellent writing – I am eagerly looking forward to the next installment!!

Tag: What is the average driver length on the PGA Tour
how long is a golf driver
What is the average driver length on the PGA Tour?
"There's a very good reason the average driver length on the PGA Tour is 44.5 inches and not 45.5 or 46.5." Putting it to the test We built a Callaway Rogue driver in 43.5, 44.5 and 45.5 inches, with everything but the shaft length identical.
What is the average driver length on tour?
While tour players use drivers of 44.5 inches length, those available in shops for amateur golfers often have shafts that are 45.5 inches long. Generally, golfers with above-average swing speeds are better off using drivers with short shafts.
How long is a standard shaft on a golf driver?
"The standard driver length of 45.5-46.5 inches offered by the majority of companies is too long for most golfers and will prevent them from achieving their maximum potential for distance and accuracy." Most driver shafts were around 43 inches until the early 1990s. The stock standard now is anywhere from 45.5 to 46.75 inches.
What length should my driver be?
What's the Standard Driver Length The standard driver length for men's clubs is 45.5 to 45.75 inches long. Because women tend to be shorter than men, the standard women's driver length is usually closer to 44. The 2020 TaylorMade SIM2, Callaway EPIC, PING G425, and Titleist TSi1 come configured at 45.75 off the rack. TaylorMade SIM2 Driver
How many yards can a 44 1/2 inch driver go?
A 44 1/2-inch driver can send the ball 275 yards and a 45-inch driver 275 to 280 yards. As the drivers get longer, there is a diminishing return in increased yardage.
How long should a golf driver shaft be?
Every golfer wants to hit the ball farther, and the quest for maximum length has led many 21st century golfers to opt for drivers with shafts that are 1 to 3 inches longer than the standard recommended length. However, the longer the shaft the harder it is to control the club and hit the ball squarely. You might hit the occasional drive farther …
How far can you hit a 43 inch driver?
A 43 1/2-inch driver yields 262 yards and a 44-inch driver 270 yards . Hitting the ball 20 yards farther — especially if it comes to rest in the fairway — is a significant advantage, allowing you to hit, for example, a 7-iron instead of a 5-iron to the green.
How long is a female driver?
Women's Drivers. Standard drivers for women are an 1 inch shorter than standard men's drivers. Previously, the standard length for a woman's driver was 43 inches. As of 2012, it's 44 inches. You will see some smaller players on the LPGA Tour using 48-inch drivers that come up to their chin, but the average woman amateur won't be able …
How long is a driver?
However, in the 21st century a standard driver is considered to be 45 inches.
Can you drive a driver longer than standard length?
If you have a smooth, rhythmic swing, you might be able to control a driver that's longer than a standard length . But if longer shafts compromise your accuracy, you're driving for show instead of for score. It's also vital to match your swing speed and driver length with the correct shaft.
Who is Jim Thomas?
Jim Thomas has been a freelance writer since 1978. He wrote a book about professional golfers and has written magazine articles about sports, politics, legal issues, travel and business for national and Northwest publications.
How long is a golf driver?
In our experience over the last twenty years, we have seen off-the-shelf driver lengths go from 43 inches to 48 inches, the maximum allowable by the USGA, and back to somewhere around 45 inches. The holy grail for most golfers is increased distance off the tee. With the USGA governing the rebound effect off the face of the driver (CT), it seems logical that adding length to the driver creates a longer swing arc and therefore more club head speed. But, if you do not hit the sweet spot on the face of the driver, you will actually LOSE distance because the efficiency (smash factor) will drop and you will generate less ball speed. In fact, the winner of the 2018 Masters used a driver that is 44.5 inches long and the 2nd place finishers driver length was 44.5 inches as well. Check out our list of 2018 stock drivers at the end of this blog.
Why is it important to have a shorter driver?
For most golfers we fit, a shorter driver creates more consistent contact on the face and actually helps not only gain distance but accuracy and consistency. In our opinion, driving for show is fine if you can hit great shots out of the rough or from behind a tree. If your fairways hit are less than 50% and you have an OB or two off the tee during a round, it is time to get your driver fixed!
How to determine driver length?
To determine your optimum driver length, look at where you hit the ball on the face of your driver. If your hits are mostly towards the heel, your driver is too long. Another possibility is that the shaft is too light. Try choking down on the shaft and see if your contact improves. If you have difficulty seeing where your ball makes contact on …
How much heavier is a golf driver shaft?
If you are playing a shorter driver, say 44 inches instead of the "standard" 45 inches, you should consider a slightly heavier shaft, say 10 grams heavier. This will help create a more balanced feel and gain back some of the swing weight lost when cutting down the length of the club.
Does adding length to a driver increase swing arc?
With the USGA governing the rebound effect off the face of the driver (CT), it seems logical that adding length to the driver creates a longer swing arc and therefore more club head speed. But, if you do not hit the sweet spot on the face of the driver, you will actually LOSE distance because the efficiency …
Should you go shorter or longer in flex?
As you go shorter in length, you should consider a slightly softer flex. Also, if you go longer in length you should consider a slightly stiffer flex. Our BGF Fitting System and TrueFitClubs Fitting Wizard take this into account when making our initial recommendations.
Average Lifespan Of A Golf Driver
Most driver brands advertise their products to last up to ten years. But we all know that is far from the truth. Nearly all of the golfers I know, replace their drivers after a maximum of five years.
Why Do Drivers Have A Short Lifespan?
As mentioned before, drivers are one of the most common and most frequently used golf clubs. Compared to other clubs like irons, they have a significantly short lifespan and a much higher price.
When To Replace Your Driver And How Can You Make It Last Longer?
Prolonged wear and tear can affect certain factors that diminish the performance of drivers. If any of these is modified to a large extent, you might want to start searching for a new driver. The appearance is the first indicator that gives you a little idea that your driver's days might be numbered.
How long do golf clubs last?
With proper care, the average set of golf clubs has a lifespan that can last at least 10 years. For the average golfer, this equates to playing 300 rounds of golf. Drivers and Woods have a shorter life expectancy of only 2 to 7 years.
Why are drivers shorter?
Another reason for the shorter life expectancy of a driver is due to them being made differently from other clubs. While titanium is an excellent material for a driver, stainless steel is still the favorite when it comes to your irons and other clubs.
What is a wood golf club?
Another often used type of golf club are the woods. The term wood goes back to the time when club heads were actually made from wood. Although wood was replaced with metal, the name has continued to live on.
What is a driver head made of?
Generally speaking, a driver head will be made from primarily titanium. However being an alloy, it won't be made from 100% titanium. Small amounts of other metals like aluminium and vanadium are mixed in to produce a better mold. In the 1990's Titanium was a revolutionary innovation in the golf club industry.
How many drivers has John replaced in 6 years?
John has replaced 3 drivers in 6 years, while mark seems to get 3-5 years life out of each driver. Knowing John, this isn't too surprising as he does have a heavy hand to say the least.
How long do woods last on fairways?
Woods are used on the fairways and unfortunately have a shorter life expectancy of about 5 years. This is because they are made from similar materials to a driver which also doesn't tend to last very long.
Why are new clubs not necessary for average players?
The reason why new clubs are not necessary for average players is because there's so many other ways to improve your game. Any player on the pro circuit would beat an average player even if they were using a wooden club from the 50's!

how long are golf drivers
How Long Should Your Driver Be?
As we mentioned at the start of this article, the best driver for you has the optimal balance of distance and accuracy.
What is the loft of a Taylormade mini driver?
Mini-Drivers – TaylorMade's " Original One Mini Driver " has a standard length of 43.75", and it has a smaller head (275CC) at lofts of 11.5° and 13.5°. The loft can be adjusted by 2°, allowing it to go as low as 9.5°. Compared to a standard driver head, many golfers will find the TaylorMade Mini to be playable off the ground (depending on the loft).
How to find the correct driver for a golf club?
The best way to find the correct driver is to get fitted by a knowledgeable club fitter. A good club fitter will not only let you try out all the different driver heads and shafts they have available, but also let you try varying length shafts.
How long is a 3-wood driver shaft?
Thirty or more years ago, the standard shaft length for a driver was closer to what we see in 3-woods today, around 43 inches.
What is a 2 wood golf club?
The "2-wood" in this setup will be more of a "fairway finder." The goal is to minimize distance lost compared to your standard driver configuration while significantly tightening the dispersion of your shots. This club will generally have a shorter shaft and more loft.
What size car did Rickie Fowler drive?
Rickie Fowler famously decided to go with just a 43.5" driver in 2017, a year in which he won the Honda Classic.
How long is a standard golf driver?
The standard driver length for men's clubs is 45.5" to 45.75" inches long. Because women tend to be shorter than men, the standard women's driver length is usually closer to 44".
Why is clubhead speed important?
Added clubhead speed ensures that maximum energy is transferred over to the golf ball which delivers high ball speeds and maximum distance.
What is the ST200?
The ST200 features an ultra-lightweight carbon composite crown, this lightweight crown allows for weight to be moved within the clubhead to lower MOI which ultimately results in exceptional forgiveness at impact. The feel and forgiveness of this driver is further optimized thanks to the fine-tuned geometry of this driver head.
How does spin affect distance?
Spin rate has a massive influence on both height and distance. To ensure maximum distance off the tee it is vital to optimize spin rates. Too much spin and the golf ball will lose distance and too little spin and the ball will struggle to get airborne which will also mean less distance.
What is SIM driver?
The SIM driver features a speed injected twist face clubface. This cutting edge technology features a face curvature that reduces spin on off-center hits, the result of this technology is improved accuracy on both your good and bad shots.
What is the Epic Flash Sub Zero?
The Epic Flash Sub Zero features Callaway's revolutionary Jailbreak technology. This technology made a name for itself when it was introduced in the design of the Rogue drivers. Two bars that look like jail bars, hence the name, connect the sole and the crown of the driver's head. These jailbreak bars redistribute energy optimally throughout the clubhead to ensure fast ball speeds and maximum distance.
What is the goal of a golfer when he steps up to the tee?
When a golfer steps up to the tee with their driver in hand their main goal is to try and hit the ball as far as possible. For many hitting it far is easy, but hitting it far and straight is another story.
Why do long drivers use longer shafts?
Long driver professionals use longer shafts with a reason, it helps with hitting the ball further. With a longer shaft your swing arc will be wider which in return will allow you to swing the club slightly faster than with a shorter driver. This added swing speed translates into added distance.
What is the best material for a wood club?
Titanium or graphite is prominent in the design and construction of a wood club. These unique metals allow for a lighter club weight, and allow the ball to travel further. With a longer shaft and larger head a wood is easily spotted in a set of clubs.
What does it mean when your shots go higher?
If you notice your shots travelling higher and further than usual, this is a sign that your grooves need checking. This may sound like an advantage, but your accuracy will surely be decreased.

What kind of printing Services should you opt for?


"Today's relationships encompass the trifecta of people, processes and technology," according to an article in the Rust Report. Cloud is perfectly poised to emerge as the winner in the shift of power from vendors to the client. True cloud solutions from experienced vendors embrace the aforementioned trifecta with ease. Software solutions are no longer confined within the walls of the IT department, but are seen and exploited by every function in the business.
Over the past few years the ICT industry has seen a swing from a vendor controlled environment to one that has become increasingly client controlled. To survive and grow, ICT providers now have to rethink how they sell and what they sell.
The past two years have seen marked changes in how product and services are offered and how they are bought. Those shifts have occurred in response to an extremely competitive market where change is inevitable and buyer maturity has grown tremendously. Vendors, in turn, are meeting the challenges presented by this new and evolving landscape with varying degrees of success.
Whatever your industry, customers are most likely delaying projects and looking for new ways to cut costs. This is a good time to take stock of relationship-building capabilities of the team. Are current relationships strong enough to withstand the destructive pressures of today's tough environment? Do salespeople know how to leverage personal assets and the assets of the company to build "competitor proof" relationships?
In order to avoid being hit by the big vendors or disruptive start-ups, established vendors must act now to strengthen their positioning and reinvent their value chain in the current competitive environment. The rules of the game are changing fast. New business models and delivery methods are revolutionizing the way companies buy.
The same is true for the PR industry. What has always been a challenging part of the marketing mix for many marketers is rapidly expanding into something more complex and powerful. A lot has changed. Just a few years ago, vendors looked at PR as involving traditional communication vehicles such as press releases announcing the release of the latest whatever. Nearly all PR activity was organized around product launches. Today's relationships encompass the trifecta of people, processes and technology, meaning any relationship – including PR – needs to be well defined. The nature of business has changed dramatically with Cloud Services for example; the concept of a new product announcement is irrelevant. Rather than one or two big events per year, there is a series of ongoing – often daily – events which warrant a new type of ongoing publicity.
Amid today's backdrop of vendor consolidation, open standards, next generation apps and cloud based deployment options, no one vendor can deliver innovative solutions that meet every industry vertical, business process, market segment and geographical requirement. Consequently many vendors are seeking and encouraging partners to innovate on their platforms, fill existing gaps and ultimately help them drive long-term customer loyalty. The result being that many vendors now have a vast partner ecosystem often filled with solutions at varying levels of integration, support and quality.
Navigating through the storms of technological change requires today exceptional leadership, especially since even the most experienced CEOs can still be handicapped by their past successes. The pressure is high, the stakes are huge and the need to appear in charge is paramount. Technology comes in successive waves. Success goes to those who have the vision to foresee, to imagine what shapes the next cycle will take. Leadership and communication from CEOs are today indispensable in the quest for success.

Home News Honey, honey how you thrill me
Honey, honey how you thrill me
YOLANDE DU PREEZ
Maxine Roeloffze next to one of her hives.
Hout Bay honey enthusiasts are in for a sweet surprise. Soon locally produced, pure organic fynbos honey will be available in the Valley thanks to the initiative of 16-year-old Maxine Roeloffze.
Maxine's parents, Peter and Cathy are the owners of the Hout Bay Vineyards and have had four hives on their property on the slopes of Skoorsteenkop for a while.
And although honey was harvested from the hives a few times, the family's interest in making honey was never sparked, until now.
Maxine has decided to call the product Pollenation. She will be responsible for harvesting, packaging and labelling the product herself.
"I'm still busy working on the labelling. I have an idea of what it should look like but I am a perfectionist so I'm still busy perfecting it," she said, laughing.
The idea came to her while en route to Knysna for a family vacation.
"My dad and I were brainstorming in the car about what I can do to earn an extra pocket money and he said we have the hives, why don't we do something with them," she said.
And in the past two months, Maxine has developed a massive passion for the bee world.
She says bees are some of the hardest working animals on the planet and she feels at the mercy of them when they are working tirelessly to make honey.
"It is an extremely humbling experience.
"When I go to the hives I send my bees love and it feels like the bees are making the honey especially for me," she said.
At present, Maxine has nine hives and each hive hosts about 30 000 bees.
And although she is considering a career in the medical field such physiotherapy or or pediatrics, she aims to increase her hives to 4 000 by 2025 and to expand her business to the greater Cape Town.
She explains that there are a few different components to a beehive, a base, the brood box, the queen excluder, the supers, the frames, the top lid and a roof cover. The bottom board provides ventilation for the hive, but can also be used for pest management while the super holds the frames that the bees build the wax onto and in which the honey is collected. Each super holds nine frames but can vary according to hive size.
The queen excluder is a flat rack with holes that are large enough for the worker bees to get through but not the drones or the queen. The purpose of the queen excluder is to prevent the queen from laying her eggs in the super.
The cover is placed on top of the hive to close it off, making it a secure and sealed environment for the bees.
According to buzzaboutbees. net, honey bees will collect nectar from flowers within an eight kilometre radius of their hive. The bees will mix the nectar with an enzyme in their mouths and drop it into the honeycomb, which are hexagonal shaped cells made by the bees from wax.
The nectar is then kept in the honeycomb to become thicker and once this has happened, the bees will cap the honeycomb with a layer of wax which needs to be removed when the honey is harvested.
Honeybees also assist with pollination by transferring pollen grains from one flower to another while collecting nectar.
Maxine says she hopes to launch her product during the Hout Bay Vineyards' open day at the end of November.

3. What are statutes of limitations in Texas and Colorado?
If you find or suspect a construction defect, the best approach is to have it investigated by a professional. McKenzie Rhody will perform a free investigation. The next step is to make sure that the investigations are performed thoroughly by qualified individuals. This usually means an engineer or someone with professional experience in identifying construction defects. Often, a cursory investigation will overlook defects. Finally, always remember that your ability to make a claim is controlled by the statutes of limitations in your state. Once those dates have passed, it will be too late to recover for missed defects.
In general, statutes of limitations impose deadlines for bringing suit. Texas and Colorado have different statutes that need to be considered. After the limitation period expires, the lawsuit can no longer be filed. For example, Colorado has two limitation periods: a) a six-year "Statute of Repose" (found at C.R.S. § 13-80-104); and b) a two-year "Statute of Limitations" (found at C.R.S. § 13-80-102). Texas, on the other hand, has a ten-year "Statute of Repose" and a two-year "Statute of Limitations".
According to the six-year statute, a construction defect lawsuit must be filed within six years of substantial completion (extended two years if the defect is found in the fifth or sixth year). Substantial completion is not defined by statute, however, it is generally considered to be the time a certificate of occupancy is issued for the unit or building in question.
According to the two-year statute, the homeowner or association has two years from when they know, or reasonably should know of the existence of the defect, to file a lawsuit. Thus, the two-year statute may impose a much shorter limitation period than the six-year statute above.
Arbitration is a form of alternative dispute resolution that involves a third-party arbitrator (either an individual or a panel) who decides the outcome of a case after presentation of evidence by both sides. In most circumstances, the decision of the arbitrator is final, and has the same effect as if it were rendered by a judge or jury in a court of law. In addition, absent certain errors, the arbitrator's decision cannot be appealed.
Many builders attempt to force homeowners and associations to arbitrate construction defect claims based on provisions in documents created by the builder at, or even before the time of sale. However, arbitration is not always mandatory (see Rocky Mountain News article: HOAs claim victory in arbitration case). Also, because arbitration takes away significant rights of homeowners and associations to present their case to a jury, it should only be considered after consultation with an experienced construction defect attorney.
First, consider experience. Make sure the attorney working on your case has considerable experience handling exactly the type case presented by your situation. For example, while a firm may have experience representing individual homeowners in single-family home class action cases, that firm may not be the best suited to handle multi-unit construction defect cases involving condominiums, townhomes and apartments. Also, ask about trial and arbitration experience, and the firm's success in settling cases without the need for trial. Finally, be sure to ask for references.
Second, determine which attorney will actually handle your case. In some firms, only one attorney has the experience to properly direct discovery, engage in settlement negotiations, and conduct arbitrations or trials. Often, in firms like this, the attorney with his name in the paper does not have day-to-day involvement with your case, and only gets involved at the last moment. Also, this "principal" attorney may be stretched very thinly, making it difficult for you to have direct contact with that individual, or for him or her to spend significant time on your case. Instead, look for firms where an experienced partner handles your case on a daily basis. That way, you can assure you will get the attention you deserve from the best representation the firm can provide.
Third, interview more than one firm in person. Web sites, ads and press coverage only scratch the surface. Talk to the attorneys face-to-face. That way, you can see how prepared they are concerning your particular needs, get important perspective and better compare the abilities of the attorneys on your list.

First, photographer awayfromkeyboard mentioned "a trip to find a fabled cult-driven neighborhood called Village of the Wolves" in Flint.
Next, an anonymous reader added:
"Village of Wolves was a a bizarre agricultural community of sorts on Groveland and West Boulevard Drive. Tucked between junk yards, Eastern European Cemeteries, and a mobile home park its residents did seem a bit zombie like. A very strange place indeed, the farms and graveyards were just a few of the draws. The dirt roads were used for dumping all manner of detritus, dead dogs and the occasional human included. Grave desecration, prostitute sex, makeshift shanty construction, and ditching stolen cars were also popular VOW activities.
"Today VOW is quite a bit different. The roads are paved, a barrier has been erected to prevent through traffic, the flooding problem has been fixed, the makeshift shelters are gone, and a number of the houses have been torn down. Part of the Flint River Bike Trail now courses through the portion of Riverside Park that abuts the neighborhood."
I've never heard of this place in Flint. There's nothing about it on the web. I demand more information.
UPDATE FROM MOOKIE:
"Wow! Talk about a weird place. I always knew it as VOTW and thought that my friends (known as the Jew Crue) had christened it that, so it was cool that someone else used that title. It was a weird place all right. For starters, it was a horseshoe street but both ends had a sign that said "Dead End." We had many adventures in that place, including propping dead dogs up in various disturbing poses and interacting with the people that lived there (if you could call them people or that living.)
"I always wondered about the lives of the people that lived there and was always amazed that there was so much trash along the road. Maybe the trashmen were afraid to go back there, but we never were. We were simply fascinated, and bored. It was definitely a place that defined Flint for me during the time I was growing up there.
"Actually at the time I knew it it was not a "neighborhood" in the classical sense like Mott Park or East Village. There were a collection of trailers, woods, and cemetery but no solidly built housing. You would of course drive in off of Dort but then park and roam. It was always this very mysterious place, in that no one knew why the things that were there were there (dead dogs included). The people that were there definitely had this "mutant" feel to them. I think that danger came from the mystery and never knowing if the residents would go Dawn of the Dead on you. As Smurfs Inc said, imagination definitely played a part, but there was a reality of a really messed up [place] that was just under the surface.
"If you are confused, all the better because I think that anyone who has ever experienced that area has walked out of there a little confused themselves."
Labels: awayfromkeyboard, Groveland, Village of the Wolves, West Boulevard
Hey Gordon, Smurfs Inc here. Forgot my password so I hadta write a slew of anonymous posts.
Anyhoo, my pals and I christened that neighborhood "Village of Wolves"(no "the" and really, no idea why it was given that name) sometime during the late 80s.
Two of my friends' fathers would jog 5 miles every morning. Their goal was to cover every mile of every road in Flint. The Urinal even wrote an article about them. Both dads agreed that Groveland was the weirdest stretch of Flint they had seen.
The place was quite odd, but looking back I think our imagination infused it with more weirdness than was really there. Then again, one time when we were goofing around back there the cops pulled up and told us to leave- it was a VERY unsafe area. Never before or since has the FPD ever said something like that to me, and I've hung out in some pretty seedy neighborhoods.
Other VOW stories? Hmmmm.
- One time we ran into a few scary metalhead accquaintances in the VOW. They were riding dirt bikes and dragging a length of steel cable. Seems they were looking for people to clothesline.
- Davison based goth band Red Thread stole the big shiny Jesus off of the 10 foot tall crucifix in All Saints cemetary.
- A story related to me by a Carpenter Road Elementary School teacher revealed that a child molestor named "Bobo" lurked in Riverside Park.
- Cars would occasionally get stuck in the wet mud near the curve where Groveland meets Boulevard Dr. Kinda scary amidst the dead dogs, zombies, and police line tape. One dude I know could not get his big ass pickup out. I still can't remember how he freed it. The road was so deteriorated that it was not even as wide as a car. You could only drive half of your car on the actual road surface.
- On the infrequent visits where we would actually see the residents, we were usually quite freaked out. They seemed hollow-eyed, gaunt, and of undetermined racial origin. Maybe it was the same two people we saw over and over again or MAYBE a cult of inbred zombie farmers lived there.
So, there ya go.
Yeah, y'know I have no idea who awayfromthekeyboard is. I assume he must know some of my old Flint pals. I dunno how else he could have heard about the VOW. I'd like to know if he ever found it.
Northeast Flint and surrounding environs always used to give me bad vibes. Others who have said they feel the same way. Bad mojo. Must of been an ancient Indian burial ground or the site of a UFO landing or the dumping grounds of a satanic serial killer cult or...

Gordon Young May 21, 2008 at 10:09 PM
Okay, I'm still a little confused. This is a regular Flint neighborhood with houses and everything, right? Is the weirdness/danger from the residents? Or was there some sort of homeless population in the woods? And what's with the dead dogs? And why is everyone hanging out in there? And how exactly do you hang out there...drive around in cars or roam the cemetery or venture into those woods near the river? I'm still confused.
Actually at the time I knew it it was not a "neighborhood" in the classical sense like Mott Park or East Village. There were a collection of trailers, woods, and cemetary but no solidly built housing. You would of course drive in off of Dort but then park and roam.

VOW was like a little slice of "Deliverance" set in depressing late 80s Flint. There really wasn't (isn't?) much for kids to do and if you weren't into drinking, drugging, fighting, or gangbanging, exploration was the next best option. VOW was always good for a an hour or so of amusement on a boring Saturday night, and of course half of the fun was the anticipation of what might happen.
There were some halfway decent structures back there- a brick ranch, a few decent wood frame houses, and a pole barn. Last time I cruised through it looked like some of the homes had actually been remodelled.
Smurfs Inc is right, exploration was a great option for passing the time. I ran into a documentary entitled "Echoes of Forgotten Places: Urban exploration, industrial archaeology, and the aesthetics of decay" While it has nothing to do with Flint it did remind me of high school. Also...Smurfs Inc-who are you cause I'm betting I know you and have a few guesses as to your identity. If I do then you'll know who I am by my posting name. Drop me a line at poetryman1972@yahoo.com
Jim of L-Town May 24, 2008 at 5:50 AM
During my years as a Flint Journal police reporter I was actually in this neighborhood twice on bodies that were found dumped there.
Never heard of the VOW designation before, but come to think of it, it fits.
In general, the East side of Flint provided many more challenges than any other neighborhoods in the city.
In fact, the only time I was physically attacked as a reporter, other than a close call at the Croation club on Dort Highway, was on Minnesota.
Eastsiders were always more unfriendly to the press than anyone else in the city.
Can't say I always blamed them, just sayin'
Blueskyjen May 28, 2008 at 9:02 PM
Where off of Dort was this? I thought I knew most nooks and crannies in Flint but I have never heard of a place such as this. I agree with Smurf's - that end of town gave me the heebeejeebee's too. Never could put my finger on it.
I've been there - I know Mookie. Those people were mutants. It was terribly frightening to see tons of dead dogs frozen in the ground, police tape surrounding some woman's clothing, a HUGE pit with children's toys and clothes in it - never saw any kids there...
I was also around when Rick got his truck stuck in the "mud". It was more like toxic cement goo. I also saw a manhole type thing in the mud where someone had spraypainted the words KKK Boss Hog on it. What does that mean?
I was also there when the police refused to get out of their vehicle, but told us through some kind of megaphone to leave the area because it was too dangerous, mentioning something about Satanic cults hanging out there. Then they promptly drove off without bothering to see if we would actually leave.
I recently (summer 2008)went back for a visit and it is different...a bike path, huh? I like how all along the bike path are signs that read, "Caution, Sanitary Sewer". I developed huge red welts under my armpits after visiting there. It took 1 month for them to go away. I will never go back. It's toxic there.
I was JC. It was called VOTW because of the all the dead dogs that got depositing there from Dog fights. I remember KKK BossHog.

Gordon Young March 3, 2016 at 9:30 AM
Michelle, thanks for the comment. And my apologies for the tone of this post. It was a little unclear to me that there were houses in this area when I first saw the references to it. I'd never even heard of this area or the wolves designation. It sounds like maybe people dumped things in the area simply because it was rural and out of the way. Glad you had a happy childhood there. On google streetview, it looks like a typical suburban area now. Curious when you lived there? And thanks again for your thoughts.
Michelle Martin March 3, 2016 at 2:52 PM
Just WONDERING WHY my comment DEFENDING my Childhood Home was not posted?
VOTW aka Groveland Ave?
Gordon Young March 3, 2016 at 5:47 PM
I moderate comments. They don't get posted automatically. Your comments are both up now.
I DO remember vehicles getting stuck, down where the 2 roads joined together (Groveland & Boulevard).It WAS like a BOG, down there! When I was little, we all just called Boulevard Dr., "River Road".
Michelle Martin March 3, 2016 at 11:54 PM
Gordon, PLEASE, Don't apologize, it's not Your fault! (People referring to the neighborhood, as VotW.) At first it hurt me, but now, I can see the humor in it. But if I HAD known, way back then, when I saw new people coming down the road, I could've stumbled & staggered out of my yard, as if I WERE a zombie, Ha-Ha! But, seriously, the only "strange" things that I can remember, was the time some teen-agers came down from those trailer parks, and tried to steal veggies from my Grandpas garden. My cousin, David Mooney, & my Grandpa, chased those kids all the way down Groveland Ave., THROUGH the 3 cemeteries, and back into the T. parks! I'll be honest, at night, cars would drive up to the cemeteries, someone would call police, and usually it WAS a guy with a prostitute! I'm not sure what people meant by "dead dogs", and stuff, but I think You hit the nail on the head, when you said, "dumping because it was an isolated, rural area". Even though technically "in the city", of Flint, I got to grow up "out in the country". It really WAS Beautiful!!
Thanks for the kind replies, Gordon. Btw, I lived there from 1959-1973, maybe 74. I went out to Skateland Arena every Sunday pm. Wonder if I knew "Redgirl"?
If I remember right, there was the "City Dump", down at the end of Groveland, where the 2 roads met? Maybe that's why there were animals dropped there? Sad.
Gordon, is there ANY way that you could delete my post, where I referred to people as "morons" and "idiots"? I feel REALLY awful about that, now! I was just very hurt. After I thought about it, I realized that these folks were JUST LIKE ME, I LOVED to explore, too! I knew the Magic of VotW, but since those people didn't LIVE there, they saw it in an entirely different
light!!So, as stated, I feel awful about that, now. I would LOVE to correspond with others on Flint Expats, if they want to know anything about VotW, Ha-Ha!!!
Thanks Much, for putting up my other comments, Gordon. I LOVE that you are DOING this!! I still live in Flint, (unfortunately!)but it's SO MUCH FUN to go back, & revisit the "Good ole days"!!! (I just turned 57)
michelle March 9, 2016 at 12:43 AM
Hey, when I was Very little, my Grandpa, who had lived on Groveland Ave. since about the 1920s!(I GUESS)He used to tell me Stories about that area. The so-called Village of Wolves, Ha-Ha! He said, that WAY BACK in the 20s and 30s, there was a "dance-hall"/"juke-joint", back in the woods, right on the banks of the Flint River. He said it was just off of Boulevard Dr., just past where the two roads met. I THINK the path back to the old place, was where those tree trunks had been chopped down, and laid across, blocking cars from going down the path. I have ALWAYS wanted to go back there, & explore, but being female, never really GOT to. I'm wondering if ANY of You, "Mookie","Smurfs Inc.", Anonymous, or ANYONE else got to explore back there in the woods, along the river?
Thanks Much,
P.S. I'd still Love to explore back there, but I would want to take my big dog along!
michelle March 9, 2016 at 9:32 PM
Thank You SO Much, Gordon!
Gar Ga Mel March 12, 2016 at 1:26 PM
I explored the woods extensively. West side had lots of garbage (actual bags), crime scene tape, a dried up retention pond, while the east bank of the river was actually quite bucolic.
Gar Ga Mel, Did you find anything like an old foundation, on the banks of the river, that COULD have been an old juke joint/ dancehall?
michelle March 19, 2016 at 3:24 AM
Thank You, Gar Ga Mel. But you didn't see any old foundations, that might've been an old dance-hall, or maybe an old outhouse ,or something? According to my Grandpa, it was ON or Very near the Riverbank. What years were you exploring back there? Lucky Guy!!
XXX Boss Hogg March 20, 2016 at 12:15 PM
I don't recall any, but if you look on Google maps there does appear to be a squareish clearing in the woods that might very well be the foundation you speak of.
Thank You, Boss Hogg! I 'll Definitely check that out!


You would accept me as I am.
Reblogged this on Cambria's Big Fat Autistic Blog.
A poweful piece by Alex Forshaw. I couldn't have said this better. Until the people researching autism and making claims of enormous success for their various therapies and programmes actually KNOW US, and are able to empathise with our parallel embodied paradigms, the data being gathered based on non-autistic paradigms will be just that. Everything about us without us. Nothing more. I myself have taken part in such data-based studies, I have voiced my concerns about the glaringly obvious (to me) inaccuracies, I have been ignored, and the study has been published, presented as fact at autism conferences and added to the vast body of data-based evidence telling the world who I am supposed to be without wanting to listen to me. What is the value of your data if your pedagogies and perspectives blithely disregard the very people you purport to be helping?
"You don't know me." Until you do.

Front de gauche (Frans voor 'links front') was een Franse verkiezingscoalitie van 2008 tot 2018.

Front de gauche werd opgericht om deel te nemen aan de Europese verkiezingen van 2009 en nadien aan de regionale verkiezingen van 2010 en 2015 en de presidentsverkiezingen van 2012. Ze bestond uit de Franse Communistische Partij, de Parti de Gauche en enkele kleinere partijen. Voor de presidentsverkiezingen van 2017 kwam het kartel niet meer op. Wel werd La France insoumise opgericht onder leiding van Jean-Luc Mélenchon, die in 2012 nog presidentskandidaat was voor het Front de gauche. In 2018 werd de coalitie opgeheven.

In 2022 bereikten de linkse partijen een nieuw akkoord om samen op te komen in de parlementsverkiezingen van 12 juni 2022, de Nouvelle Union populaire écologique et sociale.
