Does anyone know what is wrong with the web camera?  Can't maximize the picture.

^ I get the same result. My computer is telling me that Flash isn't enabled. I try to change my settings to allow Flash but it still doesn't work. Used to be just fine. Now it's messed up. wtf?

[Gil Resch]

Try the following--if it does not work--one other step may be necessary:

Go to the cam site and place your cursor in the centre of the image

Activate your key pad on your keyboard so you can use the numbers and signs

Now place your cursor at the center of the image

Then press the CRTL button on the key board and the PLUS sign on the number pad simultaneously

Repeat until desired size is achieved

And--for bonus points guess how you reduce the size of the image???? CRTL and MINUS sign simultaneously

[Hotel Mike]

I can increase the size of the entire page including the image. But just previously, you could take the image full size while keeping its high quality.

[Gil Resch]

Hi  Mike....Yes, the entire page expands. However, using Chrome, I find the image quality does not deteriorate; and, it actually is enhanced relative to the older system's image quality after its first reset, when the buffer circle dissolved.  GR

The taller structure in those pictures is the smaller Encore building/section, right?

That's correct. It has reached its max height.

On a walk by with the dog this morning: Glass has gone in on the ground floor of the 5 storey building, the tower is now up to three floors, and they are doing a big pour today. Three cement trucks plus the pump truck were on-site this morning.

As a point of reference, the one bedroom suites between the low tower and tall tower have concrete walls between the units.  Seems impressive but the STC of concrete walls vs. fiberglass insulated double stud wall construction may not be any better depending on the thickness and density of the concrete among other factors.  Still, the walls look fairly thick so I think it's going to be a plus - even Promontory's three townhomes didn't have solid concrete walls between the units (second pic).

How many floors are complete on the taller building?

You're looking at the 4th floor slab

Why does the grass in the park look like crap?

I heard that the Reef on Erie St. has concrete walls and they were not sound-proof. I haven't heard if that has been fixed.

[VicHockeyFan]

Solid concrete does not mean everything.  Soundproofing is more complex than that.

Its a dog park.

Those dogs! Does nobody pick up?
