![]() Chicago continues to be a living museum of the skyscraper, where the great architects of the world show their work. The graceful 333 Wacker (1983) gives and takes with the curve of the river, while the PaineWebber Tower (1990) revives a 1920s Saarinen design in scintillating contemporary garb. Sears Tower, the world's tallest building from 1974 to 1997, crosses Mies with the telescoping setback.īy the 1980s postmodernists were creating visual excitement with all manner of historical references and contextual sensitivity. The glass and steel box was also made plastic by the sculptural Lake Point Tower (1968), which was in fact based on a 1921 Mies design, while the pyramidal John Hancock Center (1969) broke from the right angle and the grid with its gigantic diagonal X supports running up and down the tower. Amid a barrage of imitators, the elegant stainless steel and green glass Inland Steel Building (1958) and the rusty Cor-Ten steel Daley Center (1965) stand out as masterful variations on the Miesian theme. Depression and war stopped tall building construction until the 1950s, when Mies van der Rohe's 860 Lake Shore Drive apartments (1951), with their glass and steel curtain walls, set the International Modernist agenda for the next two decades. The late 1920s saw a flurry of art deco towers such as the Palmolive (1929) and Board of Trade (1930) in the distinctive telescoping setback Vertical style. The luminous Reliance (1895), with its continuous horizontal bands of window, ended all pretense of supporting walls, anticipating the glass curtain wall of the next century. The Home Insurance Building (1885–1931), utilizing a fireproofed metal frame, was Chicago's first skyscraper.Įarly skyscrapers were clothed in historical styles, but eventually the form's distinctive skeletal metal frame was fully expressed, as in the Second Leiter Building (1891), which showed the wall becoming more glass than stone. In the phenomenal growth years after the 1871 fire, an extraordinary pool of architectural talent known as the First Chicago School advanced the skyscraper form. The Sears Tower skydeck, right, if youre from Chicago Maybe the Empire State building, speaking from an all-American perspective But, chances are, you. The invention of the skyscraper in the late 1800s made possible the concentration ofĪnd services that have in turn made Chicago the great metropolis of the interior United States.Ĭhicago has been the site of many of the skyscraper's stylistic and technical advances. ![]()

![]() ![]() That said, standard Android Auto and Apple CarPlay allow me to pretty much gloss over the OEM software and use the superior maps and apps on my phone, so I found the day-to-day cabin tech experience to be quite pleasing. Both the software and hardware are about a generation older than much of Honda's current lineup, which has - for the most part - been updated over the past few years. In the center of the dashboard is the 8-inch Honda Display Audio system, which is starting to feel a little dated. I especially like the floating center console, which looks a tad weird offers good ergonomics and opens up a generous storage shelf beneath. Cabin materials are well-chosen and varied, giving the dashboard a high level of visual and tactile interest. The Clarity's cabin is about as nice as that of the average contemporary Honda. There, I'm seeing averages around 60 to 80 mpg from many users, presumably those who charge more often, stretching all the way into the 200-mpg neighborhood. Thankfully, there are plenty of real-world estimates for all three Clarity PHEV model years on user reporting sites like Fuelly. With plug-in hybrids, your mileage may vary based not just on your driving style, but also your charging habits, local charging station infrastructure and a host of other factors. Calculating what those numbers mean in the real world is fun if you love math, but frustrating for most, I know. ![]() L2 chargers can be installed fairly cheaply in the average American home and are highly recommended for plug-in drivers.įully electric operation is estimated at 110 miles per gallon equivalent, dropping down to about 42 combined mpg for hybrid operation beyond that first 40-odd miles. The PHEV can be juiced at a regular 110-volt wall outlet in about 12 hours or a more reasonable 2.5 hours at 240-volt, Level 2 stations. Together, they grant the plug-in hybrid up to 47 miles of electric range per charge. The Clarity differs from the Accord Hybrid (and the smaller Honda Insight) in its larger, 17-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery pack and the charging port on the driver's side front fender. This is a vehicle that shines best when you're just enjoying the smooth, quiet ride. There's a Sport mode that livens things up a bit with snappier throttle response and a more liberal application of torque, but it does nothing for the heavy car handling, and the scale and weight of the Clarity make themselves apparent when attempting any sort of dynamic driving. The big, heavy sedan feels better suited to a relaxed driving mode, which, I know, is basically a nice way of saying it's a bit boring. There's not a whole lot to say about the Clarity Plug-In's driving style: With decent electric torque, it's fairly spry off of the line, but it's also not particularly impressive. ![]() ![]() ![]() In other words, it was said to provide courage to the wearer if he lost his nerve while fighting the fire. ![]() A squeeze bulb positioned at the user’s head was supposed to give “ nerve-strengthening essences” when squeezed. The apparatus was suspended from a metal framed window fitted with protective grating and a visor wiper, which hung from the helmet. The Loeb Patented Smoke Respirator ( Figure 5, from NIOSH, 1979), invented around 1875 and used by the Brooklyn New York Fire Department, was equipped with a filter element, located in the front of mask, that contained charcoal and wool soaked in glycerin ( Held, 1974). An inverted funnel at the end of the hose contained a woolen cloth to trap particulates and a wet sponge to protect against gases and vapors. The design was based on the correct assumption that the most breathable air during a fire was near the floor. In 1825, John Roberts developed a “smoke filter” for firefighters ( Figure 1, from NIOSH, 1979), consisting of a leather hood and a hose strapped to the leg. ![]() After fires, firefighters were known to drink ample quantities of steam beer, which they misguidedly thought would cleanse their lungs.Īccording to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health ( NIOSH, 1979), at the beginning of the 19th century industrial revolution, respirator evolution became more sophisticated. These “beard filters” may have kept some of the larger ashes from the firefighter’s mouth. Before a fire, firefighters would soak their beards in water and clamped it in their teeth to act as filters. While it now may seem unusual, during the 18th and 19th centuries firefighters were required to have full grown beards. Understanding behavior of small particles, the properties of filter media and their interactions led to the improvement of particulate respirators. In 1827, the Scottish botanist Robert Brown discovered the phenomenon of the Brownian movement – the theory that the random bouncing motion of extremely small particles was caused by collisions of rapidly moving gas molecules. Advances in respiratory protection came about after the discovery of the separate natures of particulate aerosols, gases, and vapors. Until WWI, respirators used in mining and industry were homemade masks, such as cloth scarves and other filtering type devices, along with respirators imported from European manufacturers such as Dräger, Westphalia, Fleuss, and Siebe-Gorman.īefore the 18th century, smoke and dust generated during mining and industrial operations were the only recognized inhalation hazards. According to Held (1974), prior to World War I, respirators were primarily produced to protect fire service personnel in the United States (U.S.) from inhalation hazards. ![]() ![]() ![]() Recipe for Disaster: Another Cook's quest It may be wise to train prayer before doing this to get the protect from prayers.

Lesser models make do with a detuned version of the GT's engine - performance isn't as lively but most buyers will find the power band more user-friendly. The top-level GT version offers optional 17-inch wheels and tires for the performance-minded buyer in addition to its standard six-speed manual gearbox and peaky 170-hp, four-cylinder engine. Front-wheel drive is the standard layout, but all-wheel drive is available for negotiating the roads during inclement weather. The Vibe's sporty looks are backed up by a well-sorted suspension that delivers a comfortable ride around town and responsive handling. Red backlit gauges with chrome-trim rings highlight a sharp-looking instrument panel, while the rest of the interior features straightforward climate controls, a well-placed stereo for easy access and even a 115-volt outlet for plugging in electronic devices. Drivers sit higher in the Vibe than in most sedans but not so much as to make entry and exit a chore as in many SUVs. ![]() The front-passenger seat also folds flat to function as an impromptu work table for the driver or to aid in loading longer items. The rear seats fold completely flat to open up just over 54 cubic feet of cargo space, while the durable plastic load floor offers adjustable tie-down points via built-in floor tracks. Related to the Toyota Matrix, the Vibe is a jointly developed vehicle that shares most major components with its Japanese cousin.Īt just 171 inches long, the Pontiac Vibe is slightly shorter than your typical compact sedan, but its body is taller and wider, which gives it a more spacious and functional interior. It's geared toward young buyers who want a stylish, practical vehicle but don't need or want a gas-guzzling SUV. The Pontiac Vibe blends the handling of a small sedan with the practicality of a five-door hatchback. Or, alternatively: Not with a bang, but a whimper. Go for the prettier and nicer 2010 Chevrolet Malibu instead. G3 sales have been dismal, so they're likely still available from your local Buick-Pontiac-GMC dealer.Īs for the Pontiac G6 midsize sedan, it's available only to fleet buyers for 2010. Though the EPA rates it at 26 mpg city / 34 mpg highway, we got more than 32 mpg in energetic mixed use. We recently drove a 2009 Chevrolet Aveo, and found it competent but hardly compelling. But the G3, based on the Chevrolet Aveo, got only 6 points out of 10 in our review. We also named the 2009 Kia Spectra5 (score: 6.4 of 10) and the 2009 Subaru Impreza hatchback (score: 8.2 of 10).ĬOMPARE: 2010 Pontiac Vibe vs 2009 Toyota Matrix vs 2009 Kia SpectraĪs for other departing Pontiacs, the 2009 Pontiac G3 is slightly greener than the Vibe, achieving EPA ratings of 27 miles per gallon city / 34 mpg highway. ![]() We'd point out that it competes with the identical-under-the-skin 2009 Toyota Matrix (score: also 8 of 10), which historically has higher resale value. GM suggests that the Vibe competes with the 2009 Dodge Caliber (score: 7 of 10) and the 2010 Mazda Mazda3 (score: 8.4 of 10).ĬOMPARE: 2010 Pontiac Vibe vs 2009 Dodge Caliber vs 2010 Mazda Mazda3

In no time at all, the Max Headroom Signal Intrusion became a cold case and an object lesson in how to pull off a kind of gleefully weird form of hacking. He had a woman in a maid’s outfit use a flyswatter on his bare butt. He mocked WGN and broadcaster Chuck Swirsky. Max scatted the theme to Clutch Cargo, a short-lived (but super-popular) cartoon that ran between 19. ![]() The video is both self-evident and perplexing. Big Head Max hijacked the broadcast signal of public TV station WTTW, taking over during a broadcast of Doctor Who. It lives in that ambiguous space between uncanny and scary, that place where “the hacker” continues to live.The longer intrusion happened after eleven. I wonder if the hackers could have suspected that their momentary coup on the broadcast spectrum would find a new life on the Internet, where it still plays forever on repeat, forever subject to analysis and befuddlement. But the incident’s impact lies in its murk. ![]() It’s ripe for media studies too, perhaps-a cyberpunk culture jam, an anarchic protest decades before Anonymous and hacktivism became household terms, reminding unsuspecting audiences how unsuspecting they really were. While Motherboard was not 100% convinced of Poag’s story, it did tie the hacker subculture of the era in with the famous signal intrusion: They hang out at Denny’s until they’re asked to leave, they can quote Monty Python sketches from memory, and sleep with JRR Tolkien books under their beds where other guys stash porn.Ī subsequent investigation by Motherboard into the Headroom Incident includes an interview with Poag, delving deeper into the then-nascent “Internet” subculture of dial-up and BBS chat. People who were into the hacking scene back then were basically the same type of people who are into the hacking scene now…Guys who live in their parent’s basements, charming/brilliant guys who don’t think to bathe often, and often lacking in social skills pretty much across the board. Poag claimed to have known the people who carried out the signal intrusion-they were allegedly part of a bunch of hackers in suburban Chicago: We could do this at any time, were we not busy watching pirated copies of the old Clutch Cargo cartoon and getting spanked by fly-swatters.” Indeed, the spirit of the Headroom signal intrusion-though admittedly silly on the surface-is very much anarchistic. Robot, but when you think about it, they look a lot like “Anonymous” videos. Indeed, not only does it seem to be visually referenced by the “fsociety” broadcasts in the TV series Mr. The “Max Headroom Incident” (as it’s now come to be known) is part of an unrelated trifecta of legendary signal interruptions the others were the 1977 Southern Television broadcast interruption, in which “aliens” claimed to take over the signal, and the 1986 “Captain Midnight” case, involving a message protesting HBO’s recent fee hikes.īut it is definitely the Headroom broadcast that has captured the imagination of the public all the way to the present day. The broadcast hijackers were never found or identified, though apparently they had managed to briefly break through the signal earlier that evening during sports coverage at a different Chicago station. Then, back to your regularly-scheduled broadcast of Doctor Who: The whole segment clocks in at around a minute-and-a-half. Bend over and have his naked buttocks spanked by a woman in a French Maid outfit holding a flyswatter.Humming the theme to the 1950s children’s program Clutch Cargo. ![]()
