A true restoration should be the default strategy at this point unless someone can come up with a compelling design that is overwhelmingly beautiful. That may be impossible but it's a least a fun thought experiment. To my knowledge, Notre Dame in modern times remains an active participant in Parisian religious and civic activities. Historic but still at work. For that reason, I think it's worth considering how it can be renovated into the current image of the city, as cultural views on religion continue to change.

Hey Buddy. Sorry for your loss. I know he meant a lot to you.
I never really got a sense of quantites for anything throughout the podcast. We had a witness of one gold bar coming from a box that maybe had more bars inside, but that was an assumption. We also have no idea how much guilding was actually being done, but because he was the only one in the country doing it, it could have been a lot. Now I feel like I'm destroying a good storey by analyzing it too much. What I mean to say is "Thar's gold in them hills." Also:
I finished it last night. Plowed through it actually. I am a binger at heart. I thought it fantastic as well. One thought I had that I didn't hear anyone on the podcast touch on, and maybe I missed it, but to me, there is an obvious connection between the gold bars that he has and the fire guilding that he does. i'm just wondering if his stashed gold in the forest isn't about him being rich, and more about regularly buying and using gold for horology. Thoughts?
Yeah, I think you're right kb. And like I said to mk, my feeling is that their participation is closer to 25%. That 5% was taken from a dubious BC government study that was done with not enough sampling and in too short of a time frame to get an accurate sense of the market. Ultimately doesn't matter because that only tracks foreign buyers anyway. What is more important is the foreign money, which is more likely funneled into the country through other means and difficult to trace. It's even crazier than that. The tax went into affect on August 2nd, this year, with very little warning. So while June and July also had a slow down, August had a precipitous, jaw-dropping slow down. But it's not likely that the 510 homes that weren't sold this month falls entirely on the shoulders of foreign buyers. The way I see it is that the foreign buyer has kind of become the monster in the closet in Vancouver. Where even if it exists, the idea of it is more potent and pervasive than the actual thing. That, combined with the fact that the market has become so focused on investment and speculation has made people just stop to wait and see what's going to happen.BC started levying a 15% surcharge on foreign sales between last August and this August
drunkguyfromcanada. :) that's brutal man. it's interesting that everyone has a different experience with this sort of thing. i met an american that's been in canada since the 1960's. he was going to school up here then. on the train ride entering through the border for the first time, a few fellow student asked him about his arrangements with his visa. at that point he realized that he hadn't thought of it at all and as such, had no provisions. he told the border guard that he had no papers and was led to an office where someone immediately registered him as a landed immigrant. no fees, no due dates, no hassle. he never left. my story is entirely different. i went to grad school up here and have a class 'a' professional title, meaning that they want to keep guys like me up here. i got a work visa after school no problem and a pr with little issue after that (even took that darn english test). compared to your story, it's been breezy.

Nice read. Thanks for sharing. Maybe I missed this in your first post, but do you have wi-fi there?
Neither do I. Guess that's why they're overlooked.
Yep. Looks good to me. Nice job!
I have a nervous image of you doing push ups in front of the tub, on the bathroom tile. Uhm. I'll just stop there.
20,000 a day? Anywhere else, these sales figures would look impressive. Apple has a reputation that makes this example the outlier. I did just talk with a friend who told me that the only thing the Apple Watch is good for is vibrating for notifications. More and more, I put my phone away at work and at home because I'm sick of having the weight in my pocket (first world problem, i know). I'd prefer to have something less obtrusive to alert me. Too bad I don't wear watches.
Doesn't the article directly contradict this statement? What am I not understanding?Similarly, there is no clean relationship between the amount of folding and the number of neurons, the total area of the cortex, or the thickness of the cortex.
I haven't heard any version that rolls off the tongue yet. I thought that being a skier could be fun because we don't surf the web, we ski it. I also like hubbie. As in "Where my hubbies at!?"
See below from Wikipedia. Basically, things like earthquakes and melting glaciers redistribute the earth's mass, thus shifting the moment of inertia and making rotation vary unpredictably. A mathematical model of the variations in the length of the solar day was developed by F. R. Stephenson and L. V. Morrison,[12] based on records of eclipses for the period 700 BC to 1623 AD, telescopic observations of occultations for the period 1623 until 1967 and atomic clocks thereafter. The model shows a steady increase of the mean solar day by 1.70 ms (± 0.05 ms) per century, plus a periodic shift of about 4 ms amplitude and period of about 1,500 yr.[12] Over the last few centuries, the periodic component reduced the rate of lengthening of the mean solar day to about 1.4 ms per century.[17] The main reason for the slowing down of the Earth's rotation is tidal friction, which alone would lengthen the day by 2.3 ms/century.[12] Other contributing factors are the movement of the Earth's crust relative to its core, changes in mantle convection, and any other events or processes that cause a significant redistribution of mass. These processes change the Earth's moment of inertia, affecting the rate of rotation due to conservation of angular momentum, sometimes increasing earth's rotational speed (decreasing the solar day and opposing tidal friction). For example, glacial rebound shortens the solar day by 0.6 ms/century and the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake is thought to have shortened it by 2.68 microseconds.[18]Leap seconds are irregularly spaced because the Earth's rotation speed changes irregularly. Indeed, the Earth's rotation is quite unpredictable in the long term, which explains why leap seconds are announced only six months in advance.
Same here. I hit reply 5 times before I just gave up.
Michigan is well represented by the Hubski community since it is based out of Ann Arbor. Hubski loves the Mitten State!
The office I worked for did a job for a developer out that way. I personally made a few renderings and fly-throughs for this multi building complex. Each had a engine repair shop on the main level and caretaker units on the top. It was designed for 150'+ yachts to be worked on. I had the feeling that it was seen as an early sign of gentrification to that area and wasn't getting much support for the community. I'm not sure what it's like down there now. I left shortly after that project and moved to California for a bit. Wasn't exactly excited about the type of buildings my office was designing. Sounds like your work was more interesting. Did you enjoy it?
Salmon Bay. I knew it. Did a few projects over there in '06. Always seemed like a shady area to me. Only in the Pacific Northwest shall we say.
Alabama Shakes : Shoegaze. Has a real Pavement feel to me.
Nice. Highway 90 I assume? Be sure to take your time in Glacier. One of the prettiest parts of the U.S.
Bibio - À tout à l'heure. This track is a few years old, but it's got a great summer vibe that'll work for any and every nice day to come.
Totally. Bitch needs a saint of a counterpart. Then it could be a menage a trois of sorts.
It's a difficult transition indeed. The trouble with university is that one is only exposed to canonic buildings of which there are very few in the world. As is often the case, unique circumstances led to their creation which do not occur in the everyday for most people. That said, if you find a client with similar values - and a bit of money to spend - it can be a rewarding experience.
very cool. nice work guys.
