	Gherkin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gherkin (French cornichon) is a young cucumber (Cucumis sativus), picked when 1 to 3 inches (3 to 8 cm) in length and pickled in jars or cans with vinegar (often flavoured with herbs, particularly dill; hence, ‘dill pickle’) or brine.
		The gherkin is mentioned in English in the seventeenth century, although the English diarist Samuel Pepys describes the ‘girkin’ in his entry for 1661-12-01 as ‘a rare thing’.
		Gherkins featured heavily in the British children's TV series Stoppit and Tidyup.

	Slow Gherkin - Run Screaming (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Slow Gherkin are definitely a trandescendent treat, as they have weathered the storm that ravaged all of the typical Ska acts of the mid 1990's.
		This is due to the fact that Slow Gherkin is no typical band, as they successfully modified indie rock, ska, emo, blues, and rock into one hell of an act.
		The urgency that Slow Gherkin has in their live show is transferred to this disc, having the effect of combating the canned sound many acts put on their stereo album.

	Ink 19 :: Slow Gherkin
		Slow Gherkin might sound like a silly name, but to write the Santa Cruz, CA-based ska band off on that basis alone would be a serious mistake.
		Moving beyond the conventions of ska-oriented music, Slow Gherkin manage to combine influences from all over the musical map into a distinctive, original sound that is irresistibly catchy and danceable.
		The stark contrast between the happy music and the serious subject matter is one of the most rewarding and compelling aspects of their songs.

		For Rickman, the reasons for the evolution of Slow Gherkin's style are difficult to pinpoint.
		For many of Gherkin's members, this required saving money by living at home or having the band's budget cover some of the members' rent while they were away.

	Building of the Year: The RIBA Stirling Prize
		Known to Londoners as the Gherkin, Swiss Re's new headquarters is extraordinary for many reasons, not least because less than six months after the building's official opening, it has already become a London icon – and a popular one at that.
		Built on the site of the Victorian Baltic Exchange, which was badly damaged by an IRA bomb in 1992, the Gherkin, designed by Norman Foster, is a tall building for a city which has yet to embrace the skyscraper.
		That the Gherkin should be green was important to Swiss Re, since many of its clients cover the often devastating costs of global warming.

	BlueBeat.com - Artist: Slow Gherkin
		With their third-wave influence of hyper-active ska-punk that the likes of The Mighty Mighty Bosstones and Operation Ivy first debuted, Slow Gherkin wanted to bring their own playful style of this genre to their native Santa Cruz, California.
		But like most ska-punk bands who's over crowded line-up could have the tendency to out number the audience, Slow Gherkin were also cursed with a revolving line-up since their 1994 debut; a line up that at one point featured ten members.
		Despite Slow Gherkin's membership change, the band still managed to release a split CD EP with Jeffries Fan Club in 1996, which was followed by the seven-inch "Death of A Salesman" that same year.

	CNN.com - Proposed 'erotic gherkin' riles some Londoners - July 4, 2000 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The "gherkin," one of several headline-grabbing projects Foster & Partners are working on in the British capital, would be 180 meters tall -- falling just short of the nearby International Finance Centre, still commonly known as the NatWest Tower.
		The only taller building in London is a 244-meter Canada Tower at Canary Wharf in the regenerated Docklands, east of the city -- although one businessman has suggested a 420-meter tower on the south side of the Thames.
		The project has been likened to an erotic gherkin, a cigar, a rocket, an upturned zeppelin and an artillery shell inflated to giant proportions.

	Slow Gherkin
		Slow Gherkin began in the summer of 1993 when A.J., Zack, Phil and I (James), all Santa Cruz High students, decided to try out a fresh and exciting style of music played by Skankin' Pickle, Bad Manners and a few other ska bands that had played in our hometown of Santa Cruz.
		The end of '94 also marked the induction of "Polka" Peter Cowan (initially on accordian, then keyboard), Rob Pratt, member of local ska bands the Square Roots and the URJ, on tenor sax, and Matt Porter on trumpet, another Santa Cruz High kid who A.J. and I had been playing music with since 7th grade.
		An upstart label run by members of a Sacramento ska band called Punch the Clown asked us to contribute to it's first release, so we recorded "Thumbs Down to Generation X", "Este Torro", and "Meatdance" at a fancy studio in San Fransisco.

		The "shard of glass" - the 1,016ft London Bridge Tower - is set to be the tallest building in Europe.
		Last November the Deputy Prime Minister, John Prescott, gave the 66-storey project the go-ahead despite opposition from English Heritage (a body by no means opposed to height, as the Gherkin has its full support).

	That Brutal Joint :: The “Gherkin”
		Just as the form of the Art Deco skyscraper was influenced by Hugh Ferriss’s dramatic explorations in charcoal of skyscraper setback requirements in the 1920s, the new green towers are being formed with the aid of digital models testing the effects of wind, solar gain, and daylighting.
		While this method of tower design is not new to Europe, Foster’s “Gherkin” is its clearest application yet.
		Rotational tower schemes are nothing new: Norman Foster’s Gherkin is the most famous precedent, but United Architects’ European Central Bank project with its intricate geometrical lattice, Make Places’ colorful Vortex, and even Calatrava’s own Turning Torso come to mind as well.
