Victoria in urgent need of an architectural renaissance
Can one imagine the thrill of being asked at the age of only 24 to build one of the greatest buildings the world will ever see? That was what happened to Bernini when fake hermes bag Pope Urban VIII presented the young man with the opportunity to design and construct the Vatican.
Most of us, after regaining consciousness, would have declined, or like me, hid under the bed. Thankfully, Bernini did not, and we have what we have in Rome, because after taking a large gulp, he started to design.
I often wonder what prevailing building codes Bernini must have overlooked or dismissed out of hand before inventing or at least bringing to flower the Baroque school of architecture. I once attempted to have a design student construct a petite garden shed that had a lyrical theme and would have bothered no one and brought only pleasure to the eye. A surly public servant claimed that said shed broke several hundred rules and would not be built on his watch.
I have begun to notice that our lovely city has now many wounds of an architectural nature scattered about the place. Let us start with that well known outrage, the library on Broughton Street. One is faced with a wall of uninviting brick from one end of the street to the other. Why did the villagers not riot upon completion? Why were the people responsible not dragged from their comfy offices and made to repent?
Another canker is the CIBC building in the very middle of Victoria. A more unattractive edifice is hard to imagine and yet it looms over us daily. Hermes birkin bags fake I do not lament the nightmares of design that also seem to flower in the suburbs, but in our midst, downtown? Where sensitive chaps gather to write sonnets to their true loves? I say not.
There is something called the Nootka Court that must be included here, a visual calamity at the corner of Humboldt and Douglas staring back at us with a loathsome look in its windows. Where is our native culture when we need it? The building is horrible on so many levels and yet very near to that glowing example of stone and beauty, the Fairmont Empress hotel.
That is my point in all of this we have, unlike friend Bernini, past examples of what we should be aspiring to all around us, wonderful edifices that could remind us of our history.
Instead, it appears that architectural schools turn out dullards of design to go along with our withered building codes, which seem to only pour cold water on individualism and scope.
Perhaps many would think I am too hard on our civil servants, who are, after all, only doing what is expected of them in our modern civilization. However I am always taken aback when I hear those same workers, after their wonderful sabbaticals in Italy, France, Spain, etc., describe the vibrancy of colour and design of daring young architects fitting so splendidly with the old buildings extant. But upon replica birkin handbags their return they fling their berets into back rooms and start rubber stamping the same old dreck. Where is the sense?
We need to be struck dumb by art and buildings; we should be awed by our surroundings, not made vomitous. Every culture will be remembered for its design and I fear that will be the case for us. There might just be an asterisk beside us with a note at the bottom of the page saying: "What were they thinking?"
There is time with leaders who are not frightened by election defeat or loss of pension. In Bernini's time it simply took the direction of a pope who had the grandest scheme of his time, but it was also the time of Da Vinci, Michelangelo and the Renaissance. Never have we needed a renaissance more than now, and a committed leader who could galvanize us imitiaton hermes bag and all who visit us. Build on the past for an exciting future.

Victoria Royals are eager to show it's their time
The Victoria Royals have headed into the second round of the Western Hockey League playoffs the past two hermes black belt knockoff years as prohibitive underdogs: Against an eventual Memorial Cup finalist Kelowna team with Leon Draisaitl and Madison Bowey last year, and a 54 win Portland squad loaded with the likes of Nic Petan, Oliver Bjorkstrand, Mathew Dumba, Brendan Leipsic and Derrick Pouliot in 2014.
The Royals head into the second round this year, beginning tonight against the Kelowna Rockets, as 50 game winners and WHL regular season champions. But few around the league are placing the Royals in the same pantheon as the 2015 Rockets or 2014 Winterhawks, so Victoria hasn't quite gotten that chip off its shoulder yet. And that is probably a good thing. As the most interesting man Hermes belt replica paris in the world says in those beer commercials: "Stay thirsty, my friends."
Some may buy that argument, while others will still put Victoria as the odds on favourites in what is the most wide open WHL playoff race in years. Under coach Dave Lowry, nobody plays a relentless and disciplined team game better than the Royals.
The Kelowna Rockets, however, were 48 20 4 and only two wins behind Victoria. But the trend is to Victoria, with the Royals nearly unbeatable in overtaking the Rockets in the second half of the regular season while Kelowna faded down the stretch. The Rockets, though, were able to hold off a surging Kamloops Blazers team in a seven game opening round playoff victory.
"The talent is more spread around the league this year," noted Jack Walker, another veteran Victoria forward. "It makes for better matchups."
This is where Kelowna's talent is concentrated. Tyson Baillie had 43 goals, Justin Kirkland 31 and Dillon Dube, Rourke Chartier, Tomas Soustal all 20 or more in the regular season. But the playoffs can be a strange beast. While Baillie, Kirkland and Dube were largely held in check in the first round by Kamloops, a physical role player like Rodney Southam stepped up to score a hat trick in a crucial 4 0 victory in Game 5.
Victoria scored a Western Conference leading and WHL third best 281 goals. The Royals' scoring is so deep and evenly distributed that it keeps the opposition guessing by providing no easy forwards to target. Alex Forsberg led the Royals with 91 regular season points, and has five points in the playoffs. imitation hermes mens belt Soy set a Royals team record with 46 goals, and has followed up with five goals and nine points in six playoff games. Walker had 36 goals and 84 points in the regular season and has also put up five goals and nine points hermes belts Knockoff in the playoffs to match linemate Soy. Matthew Phillips led all WHL rookies with 37 goals and has added three more in the playoffs.
The young Kelowna defence is going to have to do a lot of growing up and quickly. How Cal Foote, 17, Lucas Johansen, 18, and Gordie Ballhorn, 18, hold up to Victoria's non stop offensive pressure will be the key to the entire series. Much needed older balance is provided by Devante Stephens, 19, Joe Gatenby, 19, and Riley Stadel, 20.
On the Victoria side, veterans Chaz Reddekopp and Ryan Gagnon will need to continue to provide the leadership as long as captain Joe Hicketts is out of the lineup. The young blue liners Ralph Jarratt and Scott Walford have matured faster than most expected, which has been a huge bonus for Victoria this season, as has the improving play of Russian import Marsel Ibragimov.
The Royals' pair of rookie Griffen Outhouse, who led the WHL in the regular season with a 1.82 goals against average in 27 appearances, and over ager Colemann Vollrath, who was third in the league with a 2.40 GAA in 51 games, tailed off to about a C+ grade in sharing the crease in the six game victory over the Spokane Chiefs in the opening round of the playoffs. Vollrath was 3.67 in the first three games and Outhouse 2.51 in the final three. There was a spotty night each for both, but they did what was required and the Royals advanced.
Michael Herringer of the Rockets was pressed into the starting role when Jackson Whistle was lost for the season to surgery. The Comox Valley product is mercurial. He can steal a game with his size and quick reactions, as evidenced by his two shutouts against Kamloops in the first round and 2 1 victory in Game 7. And yet he sported a 3.18 GAA in the regular season and 2.39 in the first round, so there have been nights when opposing shooters have gotten to him.
Those are almost all on the injury front. Kelowna lost its top forward, Nick Merkley, a first round NHL draft pick of the Arizona Coyotes, and starting goaltender Jackson Whistle to season ending injuries. Victoria captain and Western Conference MVP Joe Hicketts, out since Game 1 of the Spokane series, and useful import forward Vladimir Bobylev, injured late in Game 5 after accumulating seven assists in the Chiefs series, both did not skate in practice Wednesday for the Royals and are unlikely to play tonight.
The other intangible is Kelowna's playoff experience. They graduated a lot of talent from last year's team, but there is still a returning core group that went all the way to the Memorial Cup championship game.
Advantage: Victoria, only because Merkley and Whistle are gone for good, while Hicketts and Bobylev could return at some point
Series Prediction: Victoria in six games

It will be Mathew Barzal of the Thunderbirds, an NHL first round draft pick of the New York Islanders, shooting against Carter Hart of Everett, the top rated North American goalie for the 2016 NHL draft. But Seattle looks to have too much for the 'Tips, who got past Portland in the first round.

Victoria Grizzlies conquer Caps for first win streak
Hockey League season, the Victoria Grizzlies collected win No. 5 on Friday night, defeating the Cowichan Valley Capitals for the first time in four tries in 2015 16.
Defenceman Jake Stevens' goal stood up as the game winner as the Grizzlies downed the Capitals 3 2 after suffering three one goal losses to their Island Division rival.
It was Victoria's third outing in three nights and sixth game in eight days as the Grizzlies finally posted two straight wins for the first time this campaign, taking exactly 50 days to do so.
It comes as the young team begins building confidence. If not for Wednesday's late folding act in which they gave up two goals in the last 35 seconds in Nanaimo it could be three straight wins.
"They're consistently playing well and we're always in the game," said Grizzlies general manager and head coach Craig Didmon, whose team has lost six one goal games. "I just watch our matchups and we're getting better. Our young guys are starting to put the puck in the net and we have three lines going."
The Grizzlies scored first for the fifth straight game, a statistic they have managed to turn around after disastrous starts early this replica birkin handbags season.
It was a scoreless first period as the Capitals out shot Victoria 9 7 in the frame, but Nick Guiney connected on his second swat of a rebound at 6:29 of the second. Dante Hahn then added his second in two nights (on a great feed from Cody Van Lierop) as Hahn continues to shine since joining the Grizzlies a week previous.
Ryan Burton got the Caps on the board with a short handed marker at 16:39 of the second, but Stevens came right back on the same power play to make it 3 1 Victoria on a blast replica hermes handbags outlet from the point at 18:16.
They needed the insurance as Adam Osczevski added a short handed goal for Cowichan with just 3:11 left.
Matthew Galajda earned his fourth win in goal for Victoria, now 5 12 0 2.
Combined with Alberni Hermes birkin bags fake Valley's 3 0 loss in Nanaimo on Friday, fake hermes bag the Grizzlies are now tied with the Bulldogs for the fourth and final playoff spot in the division. Nanaimo took over the division lead on Cowichan (9 5 1 2) with the two Friday results.

Video Released Of Black Teen's Fatal Shooting By White Chicago Police Officer
Hundreds of protesters took to the streets of Chicago, sometimes weaving in and out of traffic Tuesday night, following the release of a squad car video showing a white police officer shooting a black 17 year old. WBEZ's Yolanda Perdomo tells our newscast unit, some of the protesters chanted "16," which was the number of times Laquan McDonald was shot.
More than a year after prosecutors say Chicago police Officer Jason Van Dyke shot and killed Laquan McDonald, 17, city officials have released the dashcam video of the shooting. Van Dyke has been charged with first degree murder.
The video is graphic and may be upsetting to viewers.
McDonald was shot 16 times in October 2014. Police say he had refused to follow officers' instructions as he walked down a street with a knife and that he had punctured several cars' tires. An attorney for McDonald's family says he had his back to the officers when he was shot.
If convicted, Van Dyke could face a prison sentence of 20 years to life. ET: 'It Is Graphic; It Is Violent'
Noting that a federal investigation is ongoing, Alvarez says that while she had intended to announce the charges against Van Dyke alongside her federal colleagues, the recent court ruling that requires Chicago to release police video of McDonald's death "certainly moved up the timing" of her announcement. But she adds that she had determined her office's charges "weeks ago."
Calling the video everything that media stories about it have suggested, Alvarez said, "It is graphic; it is violent; it is chilling."
Alvarez says she knows that when the video is released, it will "tear at the heart" of many in Chicago including McDonald's family. ET: Details Of The Shooting
When Van Dyke arrived at the scene that night in October, he was there "for less than 30 seconds before he started shooting," Alvarez says at a fashion cheap hermes handbags news conference Tuesday afternoon.
She added that 14 15 seconds passed from the first shot to "clear visual evidence of a final shot" with McDonald lying on the ground for the bulk of that time.
Citing witnesses who said it seemed McDonald was focused on getting away from, rather than confronting, police, Alvarez says that he did not pose a threat of great bodily harm or death.
Our original post continues:
The Chicago Tribune says it's the first time one of the city's officers "has been charged with first degree murder for an on duty fatality in nearly 35 years."
The announcement comes as many in Chicago have been anxiously awaiting the court ordered release of a dashcam video of the shooting, worried that it could spark unrest in the city.
Ahead of the Wednesday deadline for the footage to be released, fake hermes bag Mayor Rahm Emanuel and other community leaders have been calling for calm, while activists are planning protests including one demonstration that would block a major commercial street on Black Friday.
A recap of the shooting comes from member station WBEZ:
"Officer Jason Van Dyke, who is white, shot McDonald 16 times. He arrived at the scene after other officers had been following the African American teen as he walked the streets carrying a knife and refusing to follow orders. An autopsy report showed that the hallucinogenic drug PCP was found in McDonald's system, according to the Associated Press. Van Dyke's attorney says the officer feared for his life."
WBEZ adds that Van Dyke, 37, who was put on administrative duty after the shooting, had not received voluntary crisis intervention training, which focuses on options other than force to resolve conflicts.
In April, Chicago's City Council approved a $5 million settlement with McDonald's family, which had not filed a lawsuit.
Emanuel says he hasn't seen the video but as he called for calm, he also said that from what he has learned about the case, "What happened here is wrong. There is no justification and it's profoundly hideous, in my imitiaton hermes bag view."
The Chicago Sun Times recently filled in some replica hermes handbags outlet of the details about McDonald's life, relaying the story of a young boy who was twice taken out of his mother's care owing to abuse allegations. The newspaper reports that he was a ward of the state when he was killed, and adds that "McDonald was particularly close to his grandmother, Goldie Hunter, and was in her care until she died last year. His daily life seemed to unravel after her death."
Hundreds of protesters took to the streets of Chicago, sometimes weaving in and out of traffic Tuesday night, following the release of a squad car video showing a white police officer shooting a black 17 year old. WBEZ's Yolanda Perdomo tells our newscast unit, some of the protesters chanted "16," which was the number of times Laquan McDonald was shot.
More than a year after prosecutors say Chicago police Officer Jason Van Dyke shot and killed Laquan McDonald, 17, city officials have released the dashcam video of the shooting. Van Dyke has been charged with first degree murder.
The video is graphic and may be upsetting to viewers.
McDonald was shot 16 times in October 2014. Police say he had refused to follow officers' instructions as he walked down a street with a knife and that he had punctured several cars' tires. An attorney for McDonald's family says he had his back to the officers when he was shot.
If convicted, Van Dyke could face a prison sentence of 20 years to life. ET: 'It Is Graphic; It Is Violent'
Noting that a federal investigation is ongoing, Alvarez says that while she had intended to announce the charges against Van Dyke alongside her federal colleagues, the recent court ruling that requires Chicago to release police video of McDonald's death "certainly moved up the timing" of her announcement. But she adds that she had determined her office's charges "weeks ago."

Varner gets revenge and first title at PGA
Until Sunday, the closest American Harold hermes mens belt replica Varner III had come to a top tier win as a professional golfer was at last year's Australian PGA Championship.
On that occasion at Royal Pines on the Gold Coast he lost in a playoff to Nathan Holman but this time he wasn't going to be denied.
Nine birdies in the final round contributed to a seven under par 65, taking him to 19 under for the tournament and two shots clear of Queenslander Andrew Dodt and another two ahead of third placed world No.7 Adam Scott.
"I just wanted to find a way to hermes belts Knockoff birdie every hole," Varner said.
"After last year it feels good back to come back and finish it off."
Since turning professional in 2012, the 26 year old's only three victories have come on the USA's third tier eGolf Tour in 2013.
However, he said none of that compared to Sunday's victory.
"Winning is just different," he said.
"Obviously top 10s you get money but it's just hard to win.
"I don't care where you tee it up . This is pretty special."
The $250,000 winner's cheque and Joe Kirkwood Cup aside, the triumph also gave him entry to the WGC's Brigestone Invitational next year in his hometown of Akron, as well a two year exemption onto the European Tour which he will use whenever he has a free week from the PGA Tour.
During his red hot run on Sunday, the prize was never in the bag until the penultimate hole.
Starting two shots back on potential wire to wire winner Dodt, Varner took the lead on the eighth for the first Hermes belt replica time since early in the second round, but then bogeyed the 14th to go back into a tie for first.
However, birdies on the 15th and 17th sealed the deal, despite Dodt going bogey free and three under in the final round.
"I would have taken that at the start of the day," Dodt said.
"Harold's seven under final round in those conditions hats off to him," Dodt said.
"That was as good as it gets."
World No.7 Scott had to settle for third place, two shots further back, after a patchy closing 67 in his last event of the year.
His anticipated charge was halted by uncharacteristic errors off the tee in an up and down round.
The former world No.1 regularly found trees, rough or bunker as he attempted to win his second Australian PGA title.
Scott sunk a 10 metre eagle putt on the 15th to surge back into contention, however he could only par the final three holes.
Victorian Ashley Hall, who began the day in a tie for second with Varner, finished fourth, five shots off the pace after a 70.
Brett Rumford shot a Hermes replica belt paris 67 to finish fifth, while Dutchman Darius Van Driel (67), amateur Brett Coletta (69) and veteran John Senden (74) all tied for sixth at eight under.

Vancouver police launch big recruitment drive to reflect city
Vancouver is launching the largest police recruiting drive in almost a decade, and fake hermes bag the key word for this new class of officers will be diversity, officials said.
Deputy Chief Steve Rai said the police force wants hire 85 new officers by next spring, the largest recruiting figure since the pre Olympics effort in 2008 and more than twice the size of a normal recruiting class.
While the VPD has no quotas for members from specific communities, Rai said it is crucial that the police department reflects the multicultural community that it serves. With that in mind, VDP has been stepping up its outreach to cultural communities, hoping it will lead to a multicultural mix of recruits.
"You look at what happens when your police force don't reflect the community, and you only have to look south of the border," he said. "You see people feeling it's 'us against them,' and there's a lack of trust.
"It's about acquiring, building and maintaining public trust We are all in this together, so it replica birkin handbags starts with citizens seeing their police forces reflecting of them and the community. It has to reflect the fact it's not 'us against them,' but 'we.'"
According to the 2011 census, Vancouver has 18 languages identified as "most spoken at home" by more than 1,000 residents each. Besides English, the most spoken language at home for 98,855 Vancouverites were Chinese languages. Punjabi (10,500), Tagalog (9,345), Vietnamese (7,475), Korean (5,445) and Spanish (5,245) all topped 5,000 speakers.
Rai admits that there remains a stigma in some communities about policing, stemming from experiences and perceptions of police in other countries. He said the VPD is trying to break down the walls by attending as many community events as possible, and that as the second generation acclimatizes to Canadian culture, the acceptance level has correspondingly risen.
"I know a lot of parents who aren't supportive of their kids to go into policing because of the stigma that exists in their countries of origin," Rai said. "But as time passes, barriers come down. You build that trust by talking to people and being sincere.
"We understand we have to flexible with changing society norms, and we want to make sure we hire the best," he added. "We will mentor you to be successful, no matter what your background is. I'm a 25 year member, and there's not one day that I've ever regretted my decision to become a police officer. The profession sells itself."
Sgt. Al Gosbee, who is in charge of recruitment, said the VDP has had significant attrition in recent years through age and other officers leaving policing and the recruitment drive is needed to keep police numbers at an optimal level.
The basic requirements are being at least 19 years old, having a good character, being a citizen or permanent resident, and holding a Class 5 driver licence. But the VPD also wants at 30 credits of post secondary courses and not necessarily in police related fields like criminology or law.
"We're looking for people who are mature and have some life experience," Gosbee said, noting many officers have business or finance degrees. "Our recommendation is that you take something you are truly interested in and you will do well in. You can then use that knowledge to your advantage in the future.
Staff Sgt. Terry Yung, who has specialized in outreach to the Chinese community in addition to a number of other duties in the past, said the diversity of officers' backgrounds extends beyond linguistic communication.
"It's not just translation or the fact you speak the language," Yung said. "It's the cultural sensitivity. Some people are hesitant when reporting a crime; there was a groping case on the SkyTrain, and the young lady didn't want to come forward because she felt ashamed. (Having diversity) can be a big help in those cases."
He said it's important to keep in mind the fundamental duties of a police officer: "We don't hire people just to replica hermes handbags outlet go to Chinatown or on the Hermes birkin bags fake South Asian beat. epaper, Digital Access, Subscriber Rewards), please input your Print Newspaper subscription phone number and postal code.
