Branching out: The growing possibilities of taller wood structures for next-generation communities | Colored Polycarbonate Sheet

Combined with available PCIe-based storage, all three of the available high-end Intel 8th generation Core processors provide exceptionally high performance (as of this writing, mid-June 2018, the highest we have tested). Wireless communication is state-of-the-art with 802.11ac WiFi, Bluetooth 4.2, and available Sierra 7565 4G LTE mobile broadband.

The process for manufacturing a polycarbonate helmet shell is completely different than the process for making a composite shell. Both require technical expertise, manufacturing technology and a large capital investment, but the investment focus is different in each case.

The suspension systems also offer outstanding wheel articulation and ensure that the Velar can handle a variety of terrains2. With an approach angle of up to 24.5 degrees, breakover angle of up to 20.3 degrees, a departure angle of up to 27.0 degrees, and a maximum wading depth of 25.6-in/650mm (23.6-in/600mm with coil spring suspension) the Range Rover Velar offers exemplary off-road capability.

In my eyes, the Vault is still the better buy, but the Parallax has more interesting color options and a slightly more unique design. The Parallax does end up being a little wider and a little taller because of the external frame, so the added flair doesn’t come at no cost. $13.99 is still a great price, and you won’t find the diamond texture anywhere else.

The merger of fine and casual dining seems to show no signs of abating. As a result, even moderately quiet restaurants have become few and far between. Things have gotten so bad, there’s even an app for helping potential diners find quieter places to eat. The culinary establishment once aimed to dismantle the stuffiness and high cost of dining out by blurring the line between casual and fine dining, eliminating classist dress codes, and make dining a more collective experience. But ironically, that democratization of eating out has produced a new and more hidden tyranny: making people tolerate unhealthy, distracting noise for good food—and then duping them into spending more, drinking more (along with the risk of vulnerable situations that can result from alcohol), and shouting over the din to socialize. By comparison, the worst thing that could happen at one of the upscale establishments of old was using the wrong fork or running afoul of the dress code.

From the elegant foyer, the eye is drawn along the nautical barrel ceiling straight to the beach. Refined, yet with a comfortable seaside ambiance, the home’s open concept features a striking great room with coffered ceiling, handsome stone fireplace, Brazilian cherry floors and a wall of French doors with breathtaking vistas.

One morning at Apple’s headquarters, a few weeks earlier, Ive recalled how, in 1997, the company seemed to be dying around him. “Every story you’d read, every morning before coming to work, started with the phrase ‘The beleaguered computer maker, Apple,’ ” he said. Ive was then thirty; after five years at the company, he had become its head of industrial design. “There was a Wired cover that had a big Apple logo with a crown of barbed wire, as thorns, and underneath it just said, ‘PRAY.’ I remember this because of how upsetting it was. Basically saying: either it’s going to just go out of business or be bought.”

The acoustics in Temple’s School of Architecture building were exhibiting excessively high reverberation times, affecting students’ ability to hear and understand their instructors. Originally built in 2009, the facility houses a myriad of lecture halls, classrooms, studios, and conference rooms, all of which are exposed structure spaces. Acoustical testing by Metropolitan Acoustics of Philadelphia confirmed reverberation times were much longer than recommended, averaging 2.30 seconds.

“It’d be nice to have an upgrade, but we’re having a lot of fun on this one,” Darwin said. “It gets us from A to B and it’s got its own history. Yeah, it’s a little bit redneck, but I don’t have a problem with that. It’s where we’re from. And like I’ve told Leighton, don’t ever forget where you come from.”

The tabletop is a 4’x4′ sheet of plywood, reinforced from underneath and cut out to accommodate a support box for the TV. Each leg ended up being four pieces of 1’x4′ wood, laminated together with a channel cut into one for the table’s power cable. An outer ledge has dice trays — if they’re even needed in today’s world — ready for all those nat 20s, cupholders because nobody likes crying over spilled drinks, and electrical outlets to keep devices charged. Foam squares cover the tabletop which can be easily removed and washed if needed — but more on that in a second. [CapnJackHarkness] painted the table as the wood rebuffed many attempts at staining, but they’re happy with how it turned out.

As for Kurant, and other bars and restaurants that line the west part of Girard, Dowall says there’s no telling when the saturation point for that kind of business will hit.
