The Dwight Way is a remodel and the addition of a new building on the same site to create a 9-unit,
mixed-use, urban infill project in the heart of Berkeley. Built originally as a corner grocery
store with apartments above and a large side yard, the location had become one of the noisiest and
busiest in the city. By restoring the existing building and adding a new one in an environmentally
sensitive way, the project transforms this site into a green showcase. The goal was to use time
tested methods to minimize energy use and to rely heavily on salvaged, recycled, and low-toxic
finishes. Thoughtful passive design strategies such as excellent insulation, careful window
placement and siting for passive solar benefit were among the most important strategies used to
minimize energy consumption. The designers were able to achieve a 280% improvement in energy use in
the existing building. The new building is almost twice as energy efficient as required by state
energy code. The couple laid heavy reliance on salvaged and recycled materials saved tremendous
amounts of manufacturing energy and reduced overall environmental impacts. Just three measures
saved as much energy as the two buildings will use in a year: · Using blown-in
cellulose insulation (made from old telephone books and newspapers) instead of fiberglass:
· Substituting 50% of the cement in the concrete with fly ash (a by-product of coal
burning); and · Leaving the aluminum siding on the existing building instead of
replacing it with wood or stucco. The house has building materials which are published earlier on

Fence: http://www.superuse.org/story.php?title=Volvo-Fans Street Sign Fence:
http://www.superuse.org/story.php?title=Street-Sign-Fence Other measures also contributed
significantly to reduced overall environmental impact: · Reused car parts for
awnings, railings, gates, shelves, parking bumpers and lighting. · Reused 3 1/2 tons
of street signs for siding, eaves, gates, light shades and railings. · Insulated
floor slabs. · Thousands of board feet of salvaged wood reused for doors, siding,
trim, walls. · FSC certified, sustainably harvested 2 x 6 framing lumber.
· Sustainably harvested oak slab counters. · Formaldehyde free kitchen
and bathroom cabinet boxes in the new building. · FSC certified sustainably harvested
hardwood flooring. · 100% wool carpets. · Non-VOC paints and woodwork
finished with natural oils. · Photovoltaic panels. · Non-toxic
permeable gravel paving instead of asphalt to retain rainwater on site. · Native and
drought tolerant plants, eliminating the need for an irrigation system. · Bicycle
parking area. · Small, gracious (average 785 sq ft, 2 bedroom, 1.5 bath) units reduce
material demand. · Rehabilitation of existing buildings and infilling within the city
reduce pressure to build in and commute from greenbelt areas outside the city. Karl Wanaselja and
Cate Leger, lwarc The Dwight House (2004) Re-purposed Building Complex Berkeley, California, USA

date. It also is freezing salaries for employees who earn more than $50K a year or the equivalent,
which means most of the mid to senior journalists at the company. That freeze decision could be
reviewed if conditions improve earlier. Also, FT is offering some employees the opportunity to work
three- or four-day weeks, which of course means lower salary. /p p From the memo: "We continue to
perform well against the competition, taking market share in advertising, readership and

Tous les bloggeurs français le connaissent, le fameux Benjamin
Boccas… Il faut dire qu’il en a réalisé des portraits,
dans sa fameuse série “Tête de blogger” !
Aussi, pour remercier les bloggers ayant joué le jeu de se faire tirer le portrait,
Benjamin a sélectionné 41 photos et les a fait mis sur papier dans un superbe
livre, format A4 à l’italienne, intitulé logiquement Tête de
blogger. Et quelle surprise, notre photo que Benjamin avait pris en
février dernier y figure, et est même l’image de couverture !
Nos amis de Ra7or
Que dire, si ce n’est merci, et de vous encourager à vous rendre, si ce n’est
déjà fait sur le blog de
Monsieur Boccas.
Ce livre est tiré en très peu d’exemplaire, réalisé grace

Apple released the iTunes top-seller and best-of lists
for 2008 this week, and Ask A Ninja was once again took
top honors on the “Classics” Video Podcast list. On the more traditional media side,
Gossip Girl was the top-selling TV season on iTunes while The Dark Knight
(which hasn’t even been released yet on iTunes) came in at No. 1 on downloaded movie chart.
Apple doesn’t spell out whether the video podcast list is editorially created or based on
hard numbers, but either way, new media shows are well represented on both the 2008 and Classics
video podcast lists. Making the cut this year are:
2008
CLASSICS
Over on the oldteevee side of things, Gossip Girl Season 2 was the top-selling
TV season. Joss Whedon’s uber-popular Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog
(which technically isn’t a TV show) also cracked the top 10, beating out shows like
House and Desperate Housewives. Of course, if
NBC’s iTunes numbers are any indication, none of these shows are being downloaded in
huge numbers.

The Top
Movie Downloads for 2008 on iTunes is ruled by The Dark Knight, a movie that as of
now, can only be pre-ordered. Whereas you can kind of understand the popularity of certain shows
on the TV side, some of the top movie downloads are a bit unexpected. Sure, WALL-E and
Iron Man make sense, but Shooter? National Treasure 2: Book of
Secrets? Jumper? Really?
