09.06.2005 - 30.06.2005
Palazzo Barbarigo, Venezia / Italia
This installation is a private commission around the medieval concept of the papal "studium", which later became the "studiolo" of the Italien Renaissance rulers (Este, Montefeltro, Medici). The collaborating artists chose to address the visitor via two principle aims of this conceptual room: a place for study and meditation, as well as a space for the private enjoyment of art, music and poetry. In these rooms, symobls of time (hourglasses) and introspection (mirrors) invariably appeared in the art of the day.... They were reminders of how one spends one´s time wisely, in study and meditation, and regards oneself critically in a Socratic fashion while enjoying life in cultural activity (art, music, poetry ...).

This season ahead is full of change for our family. I'm taking a big leap and starting homeschool with Grace. This means a lot of things are changing, namely my work schedule and what will be filling my brain and heart each day. The journey ahead isn't just about teaching her to read and write and discover the world (I'm going to have to rely on Ari to teach math!); it's about cultivating her heart. More on homeschool in another post as we figure out what's best for our family.
Today, I want to talk about change.
Change–even good change–can be uncomfortable.
Change is hard.
Transitions are hard.
But, after the last two years of rapid life change, here's something I never thought I would say about this season ahead:
I am grateful to be stretched outside of my comfort zone.
We humans like certainty and known outcomes, am I right planner friends? Our brains seek out patterns and habits because they require less brain activity, so change literally feels uncomfortable. It feels like a lot of work because it is more work for our brains—and hearts.
That means that true change is supposed to feel hard. It may even mean we are growing in the right direction and changing for the better.
You might be thinking right now that you do not want change, even if it's for the better. But, let's dig a little deeper.
Do you want to live more intentionally?
If so, then yes, you do want change! You just may not want the hard parts that come along with it.
We want it but we don't want it, right? : )
Do you have a transition or something new ahead?
Whether you're starting something new, taking a leap of faith, walking through a season of waiting, helping kids transition back to school, or are in the thick of something challenging that's pushing you outside of your comfort zone, here are three tips for embracing change. Disclaimer: these tips don't apply to every situation, but I almost hesitate to even give that disclaimer! Y'all are wise beyond your years. Apply these tips with prayer and wisdom! They have certainly helped me in many situations over the last two years:
1) Go with it to grow with it. Resisting change might be making you spin your wheels, holding you back from potentially better outcomes. We try so hard to resist change, but that's like resisting the seasons and wearing shorts in the winter! Winter clothes in the winter months are a good thing. You should wear them. : ) The alternative is to stay in your comfort zone and not actually be that comfortable in the end. Growth and change are inevitable parts of every new season.
2) Think big picture to break out of small thinking. Ask yourself, "Will this change get me closer to where I want to be when I'm 80 years old?" For me, will homeschooling Grace be crazy hard in the short term? Yes, likely. Will it bring me to my knees? Yes, I anticipate so. But, in the big picture, will it help Ari and me cultivate Grace's unique heart? Lord willing, yes. Will taking a leap of faith and hiring a new team member help us grow and flourish–and therefore change more lives? Yes. Will embracing the changes my body is going through help me to uncover solutions? Most definitely. Denial is a comfortable place to be until it's not. 🙂 In the big picture, could that leap of faith, move, big step, hard thing, or transition be good in the end? Sometimes we won't know the answers until we embrace where we are and dig in to find out.
3) Consider something crazy: change might be good! The times I'm stretched to change are times I end up feeling most at peace. Why? Because I rely on God more instead of myself. When everything feels out of my control and I just can't fix it all or figure it out or handle the change, I remember that I don't have to. As I wrote in Cultivate, "You likely have heard the popular phrase: 'She believed she could, so she did.' Those words are lovely and instill confidence, but that doesn't last. I know a deeper truth: She believed she couldn't, so He did. You don't have to make it all happen. You just have to take one step forward in faith and let Him do the rest. Where you can't, God already has." Surrendering in times of change helps me to find a peace that passes all understanding–a joy that supersedes all the hard stuff.
Change is hard, but change is essential for growth. In order to grow, a seed first has to let go of its outer shell.
Your turn! What change are you facing right now? Has it been hard? Are you feeling some fear? Do you have a tip for embracing change that has helped you? I'd love to hear from you!

If you want to find inventory, sometimes the best method is to go find it yourself–even if it takes you to Moose Jaw.
Sports card sellers used to set up shop in hotel rooms across the country, in search of what might be out there.
A little pre-visit advertising to get the word out and sometimes they'd come home with boxes full of vintage sports cards that were just sitting in someone's basement or attic. Usually for a song.
That's not always possible anymore. eBay makes it easy to sell but if you're not inclined to stick your stuff online, sometimes you go see the Chartrands.
The Canadian father-son team spends months scouring the country for attic finds. They were the ones who pulled the early 20th century Sweet Caporal Hockey set out of the woodwork recently. Not every stop is full of treasure but there's enough out there to keep them coming back for more, according to a story in a Saskatchewan paper.

How far along are wealth and asset managers in the digitization process? What else still needs to happen to get us to the next stage?
The transformation is still in its infancy. Most of the traditional wealth and asset managers continue to preserve and protect existing revenue streams based on non-digital 'business blueprints.' In particular, the role of the human interface is stereotyped relative to robo-advisers or algorithms with the argument that humans in essence only relate to humans. This is fundamentally wrong, as humans relate in the wealth and asset management space to value and value only. Hence, what will get us to the next stage is an understanding of value creation by human advisers, and 'human interaction as a service' (HIaaS) around trade-offs.
What are the best ways firms can design a customer experience that will appeal to an existing customer base as well as the next generation?
Historically, wealth and asset managers have been rather one-dimensional in their channel approach to clients. Technology has fundamentally changed the way we access information and this seems to be true irrespective of demographics. As such, I do not strongly advocate 'generational' or 'gender' segmentation. I would rather recommend designing means of collaboration with your customers based on social needs, i.e. create inclusion, team dynamics or peer-to-peer-connectivity. You do not want to create a 'customer-base legacy' but rather create an eco-system of interrelated ambassadors.
How is automation changing the role of wealth and asset managers?
As indicated before, automation puts more emphasis on value creation. Technology is after all a commodity and does not idiosyncratically drive success. Wealth and asset managers need to create their 'value space' by skillfully combining technology and HIaaS or alternatively by designing services without any kind of personal intermediation. Whatever the approach is, strategy follows customers and unless you create value for your customer, you should not be in the game in the first place.
In an evolving digital landscape, how can firms most effectively utilise client and company data?
The wealth and asset management space is obsessed with data. In a digital world, your starting point is though whether your data is big and holds value. This may sound counterintuitive, but your challenge is not just to target broadly, but also to personalise your services deeply. Moreover, for that to successfully and continuously happen, you need to think outside of dashboards, connect siloed data, and merge data from the past with data from the moment. Your goal is to answer important customer questions on the fly. I doubt that the majority of wealth and asset managers hold these capabilities today, which makes them vulnerable to fintechs and tech companies in general.
How do you choose the technology that will be the best fit for your firm?
That is a very difficult question to answer. However, whatever your path is, do not try to outsmart your competition with technology, as this will not work - it is a commodity. You can only outsmart your competitors with your value proposition. 'Customer service magic' is created by connecting the dots
Why will you be speaking at Finance Edge's Digitizing Wealth & Asset Management Summit, and what do you hope to get out of the event?
It is a great privilege to be speaking at the summit and to connect with all the subject matter experts. I concluded a long time ago that mastering the digital future is only possible through collaboration. As we do not know what we do not know, it is in a digitised world that displays unprecedented developmental velocity, even more relevant to listen actively to what other people have to say.

Pinakbet is a tasty vegetable dish made-up of different fresh vegetables, pork, and shrimp paste. This Pinakbet Recipe is a variation of the popular Tagalog version of this dish, Pakbet Ilokano, that originated from the Ilocos Region.
This Pinakbet recipe is comprised of different vegetables such as eggplant (talong), squash (kalabasa), sting beans (sitaw), ampalaya (bitter melon), okra, and others. Since there are quite a number of ingredients required, I usually carry a shopping list and buy the freshest produce from a nearby market on the day that I'll cook them. When it comes to the Shrimp paste, I always buy an extra bottle from the Asian store so that I won't run out of stock.
Before I forget…have that rice cooker going because you might need some extra rice. Oh…one more thing. Have a cold soda (soft drinks) on your side or some cold juice to get rid of that shrimpy taste after you're done. You will suely love this Pinakbet recipe. Happy cooking!

My favourite element of pattern 6776 has to be the waist panel which for my pear-shape-body-shape is perfect. Fit and flare dresses are my favourite style of dress to wear especially in summer. What is also a great bonus about this pattern is that you have so many different options to chose from- added belt, thicker shoulder straps, v-neck, scoop etc. I hadn't made a v-neck dress before so this was a first. For me the bodice part of making the dress took the longest as the fit had to be perfect.

In your absence, you can count on me to do the following:
- Manage bookings
- Turn over rooms
- Prepare continental breakfasts
- General yard work, such as mowing, weeding, watering and shoveling
- Treat your guests as if they were my own (airbnb reviews for my recently sold guesthouse provided upon request)
- Commit from 5 days to 3 weeks
I am unable to caretake a property with indoor animals. And while international caretaking assignments will be enthusiastically accepted, English is the only language in which I'm fluent. I know a little French and Spanish but not enough to interact with guests.
Each case is unique and consideration will be given to all inquiries.
Depending on the situation, rates will most likely be a percentage of booking income during the caretaking stay. Travel to and from your location will be my financial responsibility. I view my caretaking responsibility as a way to live like a local and do what I love. I would be honored to take care of your guesthouse in your absence and would apply the same work ethic running your place as I do my own.

A year ago, at this same Computex, Ultrabooks were formally introduced to the world – and started shipping few months later. It's a year now, what tidings will the second generation bring?
A year after Sean Maloney's coveted talk introducing them – he's now the top boss of Intel Greater China, a sure-growth market for the near future – Ultrabooks are seen everywhere. Yes, MacBook Air brought out the concept first, but Intel made it popular – the multi-million funding effort covering marketing, component design, integration and such didn't go without use, either.
Besides the obvious CPU upgrade to Ivy Bridge, which should save power and improve graphics – and yes, 8 GB RAM should be standard now – there will be other interesting new features expected from the models shown at the Computex.
Better display resolution, to at least come closer to the tablets, is the first thing on the menu. The Asus Zenbook Prime UX series, with its Full HD 1920×1080 IPS – but still the unproductive 16:9 aspect ratio unfortunately – screen is a good example. Thankfully they also have improved keyboards (12% increase in key travel) over the previous generation too, which were borderline unusable. Either way, the age of useless 1366×768 resolution, similar to late last century PCs some 20 years ago, should be finally over, or at least on the premium offerings.
Fancy formats: How about convertible notebook/tablet hybrids? Dual-screen ones, as funny as it sounds? Various user preferences will be targeted by new form factors, with the touchscreen convertible being the most interesting one to watch. Again, such machine would have to have a different screen and aspect ratio though, likely a 16:10 beyond HD – say 2560×1600 – to really outclass the best .
Wider casing choices, as the plastics comes into the foray combined with lightweight, but expensive, metal enclosures. Sturdy but cheap plastic is now able to handle the Ultrabook design criteria. Finally, plethora of new interfaces, including the low latency direct PCIe external protrusion called Thunderbolt, and of course more of USB3, HDMI, DisplayPort and the mandatory Gigabit Ethernet.
The vendors will, hopefully, not forget that it's not just the innards, but also outside componentry that makes a high end laptop. So, the screen quality, keyboard usability and trackpad reliability are just as important. We'll tell you more on the actual models during the show.

Child of God: Franco Takes on McCarthy
Child of God is one tough movie to watch. In making his film based on Cormack McCarthy's novel of the same title, James Franco seems to have gone the way of the 70's art film. While there are startling, brutal yet beautiful images throughout, Franco makes the wrongheaded "darkness equals mystery" mistake and frequently scenes which are played in the dark are insufficiently lit making it nearly impossible to see what should be shocking and/or revelatory. Dark is just dark.
While once it seemed effective, the fade to black style of ending scenes can, and does grow wearying and Franco ends every scene - some lasting only a matter of seconds - with a black out, making the film jerky (which may be a point) and more episodic, breaking the continuity. It feels like an attempt to reach into the tortured brain of its central character, Lester Ballard.
As Ballard, Scott Haze gives an exhausting, brilliant and searing performance turning this mad, societal outcast into a pitiable figure. Whether howling with rage, crying or mumbling incoherently as he wanders from one horrible event through the next, Haze's commitment is total (including one almost wretch inducing scene near the beginning). In watching him, I felt I was observing a Cro Magnun man who suddenly found himself in the 20th century, a world nearly as foreign to him as another planet.
The rest of the cast get, and require, little screen-time, but their contributions are invaluable. And, as at least some of them would tell you, playing dead is never easy business.
Earlier I mentioned Franco going the "art film," route, but sadly what is missing most from "Child of God" is any genuine sense of making art. There is almost a complete lack of any interpretive effort who chose a pervasive literalness to the storytelling that grows tiresome early on.
A good effort, a great performance, but not a particularly good film.

When choosing among applied behavior analysis programs, be sure to get detailed information from each program, determine whether its program is accredited, and ensure that completion of the program will entitle you to the certification or license that you wish to receive. Any legitimate school will be glad to answer any questions that you have and to disclose all of its affiliations, approvals, and accreditations. You should also look into practical matters such as the cost of the program, available financial aid, and whether its courses are conveniently scheduled and located.
Applied behavior analysis is one of the more common treatments for autism. It is a form of behavior modification that involves extensive observation of behavior of autistic children and then training children to engage in appropriate behaviors through a system of rewards. Applied behavior analysis programs may be part of an early intervention set of therapies for autism. Although many different types of mental health workers may incorporate applied behavior analysis into their practice, there are professional bodies that certify practitioners of applied behavior analysis. If you are considering applied behavior analysis programs, it is important to find out whether the program is approved by the professional association that certifies applied behavior analysis practitioners in the jurisdiction where you wish to find employment.
Another factor to consider is whether the program will qualify you for licensure to work as a teacher or mental health professional in your jurisdiction. Professional licensure is different from certification in that government agencies license individuals to practice, while certification boards offer a form of professional credentialing. Even if you are certified in applied behavior analysis, you may need to be licensed in another profession such as teaching or counseling in order to actually practice applied behavior analysis therapy. You should also find out if the school where you are considering receiving your education provides financial assistance and whether its applied behavior analysis programs are scheduled such that you will be able to participate while also meeting your family and work commitments.
After you complete your initial applied behavior analysis training, you may be expected to complete regular continuing education courses in order to maintain your license or certification. Some applied behavior analysis programs are connected to schools that also offer continuing education training. You should check to see if these continuing education programs will meet the requirements of your licensing or certification board before enrolling. Continuing education courses that are not approved by the appropriate professional boards may be helpful in your professional development but will not help you maintain your credentials.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

John B. Luttrell, AIA, NCARB
In early February, I was honored to represent our chapter at the annual Grassroots Leadership Conference in Washington, DC. I was accompanied by our Vice President, Fariba Shantiyai, AIA, Executive Director, Jill Nicholson, and Director of Knowledge, Chauncey Jones, AIA.
The Chapter was highlighted in Mark Gangi's panel discussion on the Citizen Architect. After speaking with the various chapter members around the country, we have been recognized for our leadership in local advocacy issues and programs.
I was also able to attend multiple lectures with focused lectures from components all over the U.S. Significant programs that shared our chapter's goals were found in the Emerging Professional lectures, presented by the San Francisco, Minneapolis-St. Paul, and Chicago chapters. I have encouraged our Director of Emerging Professionals to model our restarted program after their examples.
My experiences at Grassroots have inspired me to take this opportunity to share with you, the members, and to report on our progress with the goals put forth at the Fall Installation and Gala:
In closing, my ultimate presidential mission is to continue to reinforce the chapter as the local branch of the Institute and AIA California Council. I once again call on you to assist my Board in working toward this goal. Be good stewards and support the AIA as it continues to support you.

Pasadena & Foothill AIA+2030
AIA+2030 is on schedule to begin in late spring. This series of programs is open to professional members of architectural, engineering, and consulting firms throughout Los Angeles, Riverside, and Orange Counties.
Comprised of a curriculum of ten sessions, the series is a related sequence of programs-a product of AIA Seattle in partnership with Architecture 2030. AIA Pasadena & Foothill has recently become the 6th Chapter in the U.S. to join the list of licensed providers of the energy design workshops. The multi-event series consists of ten, four-hour offerings to be held monthly, except for sessions that may be preempted during the Christmas season or over late summer vacation times. Additional series are being planned with staggered start times through December 31, 2012.
Presentation details will be announced soon dependent upon the outcome of partnership funding with Southern California Edison.
AIA+2030 was realized out of the 2030 Challenge, developed by "Architecture 2030," an organization that promotes the reduction of fossil fuel use and greenhouse gas emissions below regional 2007 averages. Ratings of fossil energy usage in building operation have been developed by the U.S. government's Department of Energy. Reduction totaling 50% of the 2007 averages is targeted to cover various categories of building occupancy between years 2007 and 2030. The total 50% reduction corresponds with D.O.E.'s findings that the U.S. building industry is now responsible for approximately half of all energy consumed and greenhouse gases emitted in the United States.
Pasadena & Foothill AIA+2030 SERIES CONTENT AND METHODOLOGY
The AIA Pasadena & Foothill series emphasizes strategies for reaching target levels of the 2030 Challenge through a range of design technologies:
1. Strategic building design influences,
2. Development of on-site renewable energy systems and uses,
3. Incentives for developing renewable energy offsite.
Monthly sessions will feature internationally prominent presenters with credentials covering architecture and engineering education as well as extending into research over a range of energy issues and technologies.
Course content includes instruction for online energy design programs. Calculations of expected design results for specific technologies and products will be demonstrated along with techniques for measuring effects of considered design applications.
The AIA Pasadena & Foothill website will soon be identifying the names and relevant experiences of the AIA+2030 team of presenters. Content to be delivered over the full sequence of the ten-session course is also to be announced on the website. Attendance at each session qualifies for four (4.0) HSW/CES credits. Stay tuned.
Mark Gangi, AIA
The 2011 AIA Grassroots Leadership conference was attended by AIA leadership from across the entire country. The first session to sell out was "Civic Engagement and Leadership," hosted by my national committee, the AIA Center for Civic Leadership. It was an honor to be asked to speak at this session. I provided guidance on how to initiate a Citizen Architect program at local components. I went on to explain on how this committee has created more depth at the AIA Pasadena & Foothill Chapter.
AIA Pasadena & Foothill was the first chapter to create a Citizen Architect committee at the local level. It is one of many firsts in our storied chapter, but it continues to develop as we see Citizen Architect committees forming at components throughout the nation. This month, John Luttrell and I are leading a program with Brooks Rainwater from National AIA at AIA Palomar to launch their Citizen Architect committee. The AIA Center for Civic Leadership is completing a white paper on the subject, and we will be assisting AIA chapters across the nation follow the lead of AIA Pasadena & Foothill.
The Citizen Architect Committee meetings are open to all members. The next meeting is on April 14 at 6:00 PM at the chapter office. There is something for every member in this program. One may have suggestions for the AIA and be interested in leading a task force, or an emeritus member might be interested in mentoring an emerging professional. Possibly, one might be interested in how dedication to service can be manifested in architecture or by pursuing an appointed or elected position. Whatever the reason, the power of the AIA depends on your involvement. Please come on the 14th to find out how the Chapter can launch and foster your leadership and how we can advocate to the public the value of architects through actions rooted in service to our community.
Joe Catalano, AIA
Our foundation efforts move forward as we continue to establish the specifics. This development is thanks to the collaboration of Lance Bird, John Luttrell, Fariba Shantiyai, Richard McCann, Steve Lewis, Mark Gangi, and Joe Catalano.
We have been anticipating applying the foundation's benefits to the Chapter itself for some time now. Such needs include increased visibility as well as an improved facility where we can meet and provide a gallery space for our members. Also, we have been talking about it generally in terms of our mission as stewards of the environment.
The purpose of local chapters has changed in the digital age. Much of what used to require an office (paper, mail, and fax) now happens electronically via Washington and Sacramento in an efficient manner. What will not change is the bond of fellowship and connecting with our colleagues. The Chapter works at improving face-to-face professional education between architects and instructors on top of its professional advocacy at the local and regional levels.
As the Chapter hones these services for our members, we expect the foundation to reach out into the public arena. In order to solve many of the professional challenges that face us now (design, environment, sustainability), we need an efficient symbiosis with other local and regional organizations to provide public education.
Why a separate, educational foundation? Such an organization will be able to attract additional sources for funding. Also, it can have a diverse board comprised of community, educational, and technical leaders (and rainmakers!) who would not normally sit on an AIA chapter board. This will then enable the Chapter's board to better focus on service to the members.
To get this off the ground, we are looking for people to get involved with issues and programs focused on our stewardship of the environment. We can provide a vehicle for these concepts if there is energy and support from members such as yourself. It will likely take a number of programs and funding sources to sustain this foundation, and we are looking for input from all our members and friends in identifying these. Some of the broad areas include:
Let's hear from you. Contact us through Jill Nicholson at the Chapter office.
Groucho Marx once said, "I won't be a part of any organization that would have me for a member." Although we can laugh and perhaps appreciate what he was inferring, it is the collective strength of all the chapter's members, the diversity of practices, and the unique qualities of its rich history gained while tucked beneath the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains that make this Chapter unique. This coupled with the programs and opportunities offered its members place the Chapter among the most cutting edge chapters statewide and nationwide.
Despite these challenging and unprecedented economic times for the field of architecture, the goal of the Membership Committee is not only to maintain the current membership but
to grow it. Now more than ever, architects must stay connected to their colleagues and industry professionals in order to band together and work toward a strong recovery.
The goals of the committee include increasing current membership, especially in the Associate membership group. These individuals are the lifeblood of the next generation of licensed professionals and the future leadership of the chapter. Further, this committee will work to cultivate Emeritus members as mentors and a resource for young, emerging architects.
Goals for Membership:
Campaign for new members.
Benefits: What does mean it mean to have "AIA" or "Associate AIA" after your name?
The Membership Committee wants you to remember the three R's–rigor, relevance and relationships. Add three more R's, as it is a great time to reconnect, rejuvenate and respond by participating in the functions within your local chapter. AIA Pasadena and Foothill Chapter needs everyone to voice their thoughts, share their successes, and collaborate in order to make the profession of architecture stronger than ever.

AIA 2011 National Convention
New Orleans
May 12-14, 2011
The upcoming convention in May will bring architecture professionals and building industry consultants together from across the country. The AIA National Convention is the time of year during which definitive focus is placed on the specific conditions and events currently shaping the profession of architecture.
Convention registration is currently open on the AIA National Convention's website. The National Convention is also the annual occasion for electing national officers of the Institute by vote of delegates that represent AIA chapters across the U.S. and worldwide. The Pasadena & Foothill Chapter is allotted up to 22 delegates who may cast votes for officers of the National AIA for coming year 2011.
Qualifying and Voting
Convention site voting will be through computer terminals located in an area called "Town Square" located off Exhibit Hall D (refer to plan of exhibit areas on the National Convention website). Special computers will be set up to verify delegate membership status, generate accreditation reports, and automatically count votes. Note that delegate cards are required to complete the automated delegate accreditation process.
Delegates will be required to present one signed delegate card to the staff at the accreditation desk during the specified accreditation hours on Thursday, May 12, or Friday, May 13, in order to become accredited and vote.
Obtain Delegate Cards from Chapter President or Secretary
Anyone interested in attending the Convention and serving as a delegate should notify John Luttrell, Chapter President or Alek Zarifian, Chapter Secretary (both through

By becoming a Chapter Delegate you are required to attend Saturday's 8:00 AM general session in order to vote. Last year, some votes were lost (not cast) due to our delegate accredits not attending and voting.
A delegate packet of the candidates and proposed bi-laws/resolutions will be posted as soon as they are made available, so stay tuned.
Ewing and McCann Elected to the College of Fellows
January 27, 2011—AIA's College of Fellows announced that chapter members Doug Ewing, FAIA and Richard McCann, FAIA have been elected to the College of Fellows for their notable contributions to the advancement of the profession of architecture. They will receive their Fellowship medals during the Investiture of Fellows Ceremony at the AIA 2011 National Convention in New Orleans on May 13, 2011.
Richard McCann's seminal work in adapting and renewing old theaters in aging cities has unleashed the potential of vintage palace- style theatres for live performance, catalyzing urban redevelopment and historic preservation. He is a longtime board member and the immediate past president of AIA P&F. This year, he is responsible for educational programs.
Doug Ewing's extraordinary work has been recognized in publications and honored by the AIA.

With great appreciation and thanks, the following firms have assisted the Chapter by paying their Firm Supplemental Dues.
Our AIA Chapter is a medium-sized component that has been able to adapt to the economic challenges of recent years. Despite operating with only a part-time staff, we are still able to deliver a full schedule of significant programs and events. The AIAPF works tirelessly to address issues of importance to our members and the community at large while also addressing your membership requirements and needs.
For your membership in 2010, the Board of Directors approved the implementation of Supplemental Firm Dues to assist the Chapter's funding operations. Members who own or manage architectural firms pay Firm Supplemental Dues in addition to individual member dues. The amount is based on the number of licensed architects, including both those with and without AIA membership, AIA Associates, and technical and administrative staff employed by the firm. Larger firms, with greater means, contribute more while smaller firms contribute proportionately less.
In preparing this report, we have found an inconsistency in National's online payment system, which does not allow firm principals to pay their FSDs. This could be a contributing factor as to why some firms have yet to fulfill this essential obligation; as of March 1st, approximately 40% of our firm owners have paid their Firm Supplemental Dues.
The Chapter expects 100% participation in order to meet our annual budget, and with the deadline for returning membership dues set for March 31st, 2011, we will be proactive in reconciling your accounts and in answering your questions on how much your firm owes. If we do not hear from you before the end of the month, we will proceed in preparing your firm's Supplemental Dues invoice, based on the below baseline definitions and the final 2011 March Membership Report. Please contact the Executive Director via telephone at (626)796-7601 or via email at firstname.lastname@example.com with any questions.
*Baseline definitions of Sole, Small, Medium and Large Firm based on number of architects, technical support staff, and clerical help as defined in previous AIAPF Voluntary Dues.
To Our Valued Customers,
Thank you very much for using the services we offer. Your business is greatly appreciated. We are pleased to inform you that on January 1, 2011, we adopted our parent company's name. You will notice the new name and logo on our shops, business cards, and important documents.
ARC began its consolidation of reprographics organizations in 1988. Since that time, we've added tremendous capacity to our facilities. We've introduced innovative technology solutions to help you manage your projects and your documents. We've also exchanged best practices and experience with hundreds of our sister locations throughout North America and around the globe, creating greater opportunities for our local employees.
Not only have we brought the world to the local market, but we've also brought the local market to the world!
The new name includes the consolidation of Blair Graphics, Reliable Graphics, and Ford Graphics under a single operating unit with 18 branches. We have always had tremendous pride in serving this community. That won't change. Our people and their commitment to you won't change, either.
We will make sure to check in with your accounting department as well to ensure a smooth administrative transition.
We're excited to bring the name ARC to our market and we hope you will be, too.

Excitement occurs when diligent hard work transforms a previously unsteady wish into a solid, tangible reality. With architecture, it happened upon my graduation, and with the employment that I sought thereafter. Over the course of the past year, my service to and relationship with the AIAPF has impacted me in a truly positive way, and I feel fortunate to have met all the excellent individuals that comprise our small community. My architectural career continues to proceed, with steady confidence and unwavering commitment, despite all odds. I am sure this is a sentiment not unknown to you.
A new chapter has opened in my life, which I would like share with you today. In addition to my architectural pursuits, I am also a competitive fencer. Initially, I used this activity to cope with the stresses of school and work. Over time, I have become an accomplished athlete, and after earning notable national titles, I have been approved to represent Taiwan at the international level. It is an honor for me to proudly represent my heritage this way, and I am grateful to the Chinese Taipei Fencing Association for supporting me.
This means I am now competing at World Cup and Grand Prix events in an effort to qualify for the London Olympic Games, 2012. I never thought I would have this chance, but now that I have it, I am doing everything in my power to achieve it. By the time you read this, I will have returned from my third international event, a Grand Prix in Moscow, Russia.
I am asking for your help and support. I will need to draw strength from my community to achieve this goal, and I am teaching myself what to do every step of the way.
Please visit my website and donate; even the smallest amounts can contribute toward my equipment fees, all the way up to expensive airfare and lodging costs.

As an active member of the AIA Pasadena & Foothill Chapter, you may have seen Tony Hambarchian volunteering at chapter workshops and First Friday breakfasts. What you may not know about this emerging professional is that he has been involved in the design community for several years now. Since graduating from Woodbury University's School of Architecture, Tony has been involved in a number of projects including retail conversions, affordable housing, adaptive reuse, and environmental rehabilitation. He continues to work with remarkable industry professionals, and most recently has had the unique opportunity to work with Oyler Wu Collaborative on an installation that is currently on display at the Nokia Theatre.
Tony began his design endeavors at ARPA Design + Build as a Junior Designer collaborating with various industry professionals on custom residential homes. While in school, he also worked as a Design Consultant for TAP Construction Co. and has since been promoted to a Project Manager working on several adaptive reuse residential and retail projects. Through these roles, he has developed experience in computer modeling programs such as AutoCAD, Revit, Rhino and SketchUp, and has cultivated a knack for building models, detail mock-ups, and an overall understanding of the built environment.
Tony views architecture as a practice and states, "Understanding the cyclical yet ever-changing nature of this profession, I value every opportunity. I apply the lessons learned from each experience toward new collaborations and continue to evolve with each project."
As a student, Tony made several contributions to Woodbury University. Seven of his design projects were selected to represent the university during its NAAB accreditation process. He also participated in a study abroad program at Southeast University in Nanjing China and also studied in Japan and Germany. He also encouraged a healthy studio culture through a key role as Woodshop Supervisor, where he collaborated with both students and teachers to create design solutions together.
"In academia and my professional career, I have always strived to create architectural designs of purpose and necessity as well as beauty; one that takes full advantage of its historic context, surroundings, and programmatic requirements to serve as a catalyst for social and cultural growth."
Tony plans to continue serving the AIA Pasadena & Foothill Chapter, hopes to become more involved with the organization, and, one day, have the opportunity to serve as a board member.

Stephen Kirchner and Robert Carling plead us to give austerity a chance, citing Alesina and Ardgana's work on fiscal adjustment to show that austerity is as likely as fiscal stimulus to be followed by a period of expansion – a finding which is allegedly incompatible with the so-called Keynesian attitude that austerity is "a formula for a self-reinforcing economic downturn". Though the empirical portion of Alesina's work has been relatively solid (though not entirely without issue) the conclusions drawn and subsequently Kirchner and Carling's interpretation of them range between disingenuous, biased and plain wrong.
In the introduction to their recent paper on fiscal adjustments, Alesina and Ardgana demonstrate from the outset that they don't understand the modern monetary system:
If agents believe that the stabilization is credible and avoids a default on government debt, they can ask for a lower premium on government bonds. Private demand components sensitive to the real interest rate can increase if the reduction in the interest rate paid on government bonds leads to a reduction in the real interest rate
The authors presuppose here that the interest rate paid on government bonds is reduced by a reduction in the amount of government debt. MMT provides a model for understanding why issuing government debt should in fact quickly cause the interest rate to fall – which, by the way, it does:
The blue line represents the current budget deficit as a percentage of GDP. The red line represents the real interest rate paid on government debt. Observe that the short-term relationship is generally inverse – when the government ramps up spending, the fed funds rate falls almost simultaneously. This is consistent with the MMT assertion that government spending creates more bank reserves to compete for government bonds, pushing the interest rate down in the short term1. It is inconsistent with the idea proposed above that "credible stabilisation" (a fancy term for deficit reduction) will enable market participants to "ask for a lower premium on government bonds" – the reaction is just the opposite.
The paper cites an earlier study by the same authors which examines every period in each of the "major OECD nations" since roughly 1980 of fiscal "adjustment" (deficit reduction) and "stimulus" (running higher deficits, sometimes confusingly referred to as 'fiscal expansion') to determine whether they were "successful" (sustained for at least three years) and/or "expansionary" (followed by a period of GDP growth outdoing 75% of the other nations in the study). In their own words, "they define a period of fiscal adjustment as a year in which the cyclically adjusted primary balance improves by at least 1.5 per cent of GDP."
The "cyclically adjusted primary balance" refers to the yearly government budget deficit (or surplus) before counting interest payments (or receipts), which is then adjusted to negate any changes to unemployment. The purpose of this adjustment is to account for changes in welfare costs and tax revenue that might falsely appear as periods of consolidation or stimulus. It is to avoid selecting periods in which discretionary government spending stays the same but exogenous changes to income or expenditure change the deficit-to-GDP ratio. Alarm bells should be ringing at the idea of abstracting out the effects of fiscal policy on unemployment, but the intent is clear enough. Though a rudimentary and non-standard adjustment for this branch of economics, the authors insist that it is unimportant. They conclude their explanation of the cyclical correction process by saying that "even not correcting at all would give similar results."
Issues with the mathematical determination of fiscal adjustment notwithstanding, the results seem to be at extreme odds with the conclusion that the authors draw from them. The report finds that "fiscal adjustments on the spending side are almost as likely to be associated with high growth (i.e. a successful episode) than fiscal expansions on the spending side" [emphasis added]. In English, this means that increases to government spending are more likely to be successful at promoting economic growth than spending cuts in the general case.
Though it weakens the argument being presented for austerity, it is not much of a vindication in itself for fiscal stimulus. One reason is that the margin is admittedly close, but more importantly no one is seriously arguing that fiscal stimulus is always the best option for growth. By framing the problem in the broad context of all periods of fiscal adjustment, much of the nuance of the Keynesian argument for fiscal stimulus is lost. Keynes made no general statement about the effect of fiscal adjustment on economic growth; in fact he expended considerable effort detailing the problems with studying parts of the economy in isolation.2 A study in the context of the fundamental problems that stimulus is intended to solve is required to construct a compelling argument for it. The fundamentals for demand-side stimulus include unemployment and the private debt level.
In similar spirit to the deferral of interest rate determination to the exogenous forces of "expectations", Alesina and Ardgana explain that "politics" and ultimately the expectations of voters are responsible for the fact that 85% of the attempted fiscal adjustments in their study were "unsuccessful" and quickly reversed. The study found just 17 periods of successful fiscal adjustment from a sample of 107 attempts. Far from being a purely political phenomenon, the economics of this trend are simple: if deficit reduction activities damage aggregate demand enough that unemployment rises, the government has simultaneously lost sources of tax revenue and gained new welfare recipients – which has further knock-on effects to aggregate demand. Despite attempting to "cyclically adjust" away the effect of unemployment in their figures the point is not completely lost on the authors, who note with a parenthetical lack of surprise that "the spending cuts which have led to sharper and more permanent debt/GDP ratio reductions are those which have stopped the growth of entitlements".
None of these mistakes are as egregious or insulting than Kirchner and Carling's Hoover-esque request that we as voters and commentators should be patient and "give austerity a chance". It is all too easy to ask those suffering to be patient when you are not among them. For the millions of jobless struggling to make ends meet on inadequate welfare assistance, for the homeowners months behind on mortgage payments facing foreclosure, for the small business owners unable to find enough revenue to continue operating, austerity means one thing: more suffering. The situation can only improve when the people have enough financial security to resume their normal lives. Jobs will only be created after people are spending enough to provide business with the revenue to hire more workers. To a private sector already leveraged to the hilt with debt and increasingly unable to make the payments, the only path to recovery is deleveraging. Austerity can only make this painful process more difficult, a budget surplus makes it virtually impossible. Austerity has had plenty of chances. Let's try something else.
[1] In the long run, since fiscal expansion may be inflationary, the central bank may respond by raising interest rates. This is the weak correlation between the plotted lines visible over a period of decades.
[2] The concept of the 'fiscal multiplier' – sometimes called a Keynesian multiplier – actually has very little to do with Keynes at all. It was first proposed by Richard Kahn in a 1931 publication, and was crystallised in John Hick's IS-LM model, which was introduced as a mathematical model of Keynes' central ideas to his General Theory. Hicks' later admitted that IS-LM was merely one of his own older models, rewritten in Keynes' unusual (for the time) terminology, but it continues to be representative of "Keynesian economics" today.

Firmoo Glasses and Make Up For Ever Artist Shadow Review!Friday, September 12, 2014
I know you guys have seen or at least heard of them. I've used them before (they have first pair free or 50% off for first time customers) and got these beautiful pair of turquoise and yellow glasses. However, they didn't feel comfortable to wear, I suspect this is because of my prescription. I did contact customer service who was very helpful, they asked for a photo of the prescription to verify and remedy the situation. Unfortunately, I couldn't find my prescription! Oh well.
Fast forward a few months and here I am trying them again. When choosing a pair I thought, do I pick a pair I can easily wear everyday and not have to worry about it? or do I chose a pair that's going to be eye-catching?
Guess which one I chose.
ARE THEY NOT GORGEOUS! Let me just tell you how many compliments I've received while wearing these, a lot. I was debating between the purple and green pair but since I already have purple opted for green.
The style is called "Rena" and it comes in black and purple, I can't seem to find the queen pair anymore, seems like they rotate their stock?
Yes, let that sink in TWENTY THREE DOLLARS! Now, the frames don't feel like a million bucks but they look damn good. I do have an everyday pair already, but these are great on days I have to dress subtly because I need something to POP in my attire!
They came with a carrying case with a cute world map pattern on it. The frames are comfortable to wear and Firmoo often has discounts and deals (though they're already inexpensive to begin with). So, if you're in the market for some fashionable and inexpensive frames, check out Firmoo!!
Looking at their current stock there are a few other frames I'd like to get as well. :3 Seriously, people look at glasses, eyes are generally the first thing noticed (did I just make that up?) play 'em up!
Disclaimer: Firmoo sent me these glasses to review, I was not paid or influenced, my opinions are my own and this is an honest review.
It's no secret, at least in real life, that I absolutely love Make Up For Ever. Here is my disclaimer, I work for them but was not paid nor asked to write this.
Dany, the creator of MUFE, brought out a new "artist shadow" line with a completely different formula. The shadows blend like a dream and are crazy pigmented. I'm so in love with them, I want all of the shades!! I have bought the matte black (unf) and this palette thus far because I need to budget my makeup spending. haha
It retails for C$48 on Sephora aand it's worth it. The first three are easy neutral shades for an everyday look, I use the matte (first) shade to blend my underbone for pretty much every look. You can do day, night, dramatic, skys the limit!
Here is a quick swatch on my arm. I realize I forgot one shadow.. shame since it's a beautiful golden colour. These are swatched with my finger, but no primer and only one swipe except for the light purple shade, which is a diamond shade and it supposed to be more about the sparkle and pizzaz. This is two swipes.
I am filming, or trying to, and used the palette for this look.

I want you to get to know some of the characters of my novel Claiming Peace, Book 3 in the Caney Creek Series. For several Mondays I'll interview one of the characters and you can leave comments if you want. I think this might help you when you read my novel to know how these characters feel as they move through the story. If you leave a comment on this blog that is totally related to the interview I'll give you an extra entry in the next Thursday book drawing.
Today I'm talking with Richard Callaway in Newton, TN
Good Afternoon, Richard. Are you related to Robert Callaway?
Yes, ma'am. I'm Robert's twin brother.
You and Robert do look a lot alike.
Robert took after Poppa's black hair. But I have a little of Momma's auburn hair—mine's reddish-blond.
I've always heard about twins having a special and close bond. Is that true with you and Robert?
Most people think so. Seems like when one of us does something, the other one does the same thing.
Give me an example of what you mean, please.
Well, the main thing between us is that we joined the army at the same time and got shipped to Korean at the same time.
That is interesting. Did you stay together while you were in Korea?
No, ma'am. We got split up. All during our time there we didn't know where the other one was or if he was safe.
I regret that happened. I'm sorry.
Yes, ma'am. We saw some bad times over there and I always wondered about Robert. You know, where he was and how he was doing.
Robert told me you hadn't been out of the army very long.
That's true. Since our parents are dead and the farm isn't there now, when we hit the states, the army bought us bus tickets to Newton.
Do you plan to live here in Newton?
For a while. Probably till after Christmas. We're staying at Jim's house now. We've got to find work. We're thinking our brother might hire us on at the hosiery mill here in Newton.
Yes, Robert told me your big brother owns the Southeastern Hosiery mill.
We won't ask him for an office job like he has but we'd be happy to work at the mill and be able to stay here close to family.
What kind of job do you think you'd be able to do at the mill?
In the military we both drove supply trucks. Most of the time we had to help load the trucks and unload them. So maybe Jim will hire us on to work the mill's loading dock.
I'm sure Jim will consider you for the jobs. That is, if there are any openings.
Yes, ma'am, that's what we're hoping for. Or any other job that's open.
Richard, thanks for talking with me and good luck with finding your jobs.
The winner of last Thursday's blog post for a copy of No Turning Back by Joanne Meusburg is Maxie. I'll email you. Thanks all for commenting. Watch for more book giveaways.
Till next time … keep on smiling.

There's a typhoon a-coming. In about an hour or so. And I'm just a little itsy bitsy teeny weeny bit scared. I have found out that a typhoon is just a region specific name for a cyclone or a hurricane. Hmmm. This does not reassure me. I've cancelled my 6.30pm meeting as the warning has gone from T3 to T8. (T10 is a full-blown hit.) Even though it seems quiet and relatively calm outside, the clouds have been racing across the sky and many people have been sent home from work. The mid-level escalators will now shut and I think they will probably stop the ferries.
Oh well, at least this is more important than worrying about all those calories! Having said that, most HKers just laugh and say the government is being overly cautious and I have nothing to fear. But then, they also said that about those aforementioned "occasional cobras".
Thankfully I've been to the supermarket and I've got my supplies. Including the most enormous amount of toilet paper ever. Despite the cramped living spaces and the obsession with miniaturising everything, you can only buy an individual roll of toilet paper in your corner store, or in a 10-roll pack at the supermarket. Now where the hell am I going to store this???

Resisting Expression: Analog vs Digital
Organized by Professor Mark Mack in conjunction with Peter Ebner and 3M Future Lab
RESISTING EXPRESSION: Analog vs Digital
October 18- 20, 2013
The topic of this years workshop and seminar will explore the legacy and the future of architectural expression.
Guenther Domenig, the creator of the Steinhaus used sketches and poetic language to express his ideas in his building process. Many architects around the world are still using some kind of analog expression, drawings or models to facilitate their creative ideas. Yet most students, architects and professionals have abandoned this process totally by switching solely to computer aided and parametric design practices. This workshop will explore the different techniques available in the past and in the future to express architectural ideas and positions. Exercises instructed by the invited participant will experiment with both positions and techniques. Discussions among students and participants will be structured to allow for an immersion into these topics.
Magda Saura, Barcelona
Peter Ebner, Munich
Kivi Sotamaa, Helsinki

Posted: Dec 16, 2017
For Immediate Release · By Nairem Moran · email@example.com
The Basics
- Score: St. Mary's 111, Olivet 117
- Records: St. Mary's (2-7), Olivet (3-4)
- Location: Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. – Broward County Convention Center
- The Short Story: Luck ran out for the St. Mary's College of Maryland men's basketball team Saturday evening despite having six players reach the double-digit plateau. The Seahawks dropped a heartbreaking 117-111 triple overtime decision to the Olivet College Comets at Trip Sports Cruzin' Classic in Florida.
How It Happened
- Senior wing Chris Craft, Jr. (Waldorf, Md./Westlake) made both free throws with 20 seconds left in the second overtime period and Tracy Edmonds' last-second was off the mark to send the game into a third extra frame.
- After two free throws by sophomore forward Spencer Schultz (Clear Spring, Md./Clear Spring) gave St. Mary's a three-point lead at 3:26 in the third OT period, the Comets closed out the game on a 16-7 run to snap their two-game skid.
- The Seahawks found themselves down nine at 8:26 in the second half after Edmonds knocked down a three-pointer.
- Six straight points by sophomore guard Matt Ayoub (Fairfax, Va./W.T. Woodson) handed St. Mary's a 64-63 lead at 5:21 before a Craft three-point play put the team ahead by two at 3:41.
- Olivet owned a 73-70 advantage with seven ticks on the clock before senior guard Ochae Bynum's (Waldorf, Md./North Point) first three-pointer of the game with two seconds to go pushed the game into overtime.
- In the first extra frame, OC held an 89-84 lead with 20 second remaining but Bynum went 4-of-5 at the line and then Schultz's last-second steal and layup kept the game going into double OT.
- Jalen Adams put up 24 points in the first half on 10-of-16 shooting to buoy a 39-33 Olivet halftime lead.
Inside the Box Score
- St. Mary's hadn't scored over 100 points since winning 113-88 at Stevenson University on December 4, 2010.
- Bynum paced the Seahawks in the contest with a season-best 25 points as he made a career-high nine free throws while adding five assists, three rebounds, and a season-best three steals.
- Ayoub finished with a career-best 21 points on 6-of-10 shooting, including three triples, while Schultz contributed 20 points for his second straight 20-point game and fourth of the season.
- Craft chipped in 12 points as he made a career-best six free throws. He also collected a season- and team-best eight boards and a career-high six steals.
- Adams and Edmonds both tallied 38 points to lead the Comets to the win in Florida. In addition, Adams hauled in a game-best 15 caroms while Edmonds had a near triple-double with eight rebounds and eight assists.
Up Next for the Seahawks
- Dec. 17 vs. Husson University (6-1) – Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. – Cruzin' Classic – 8:00 p.m.

EA has revealed that a small number of people have been laid off at Dead Space and Battlefield Hardline developer, Visceral Games.
While the publisher would't give out the specific number of affected employees, it did mention that former Naughty Dog Amy Hennig and actor Todd Stashwick, both of whom who are working on the Star Wars project were unaffected by the staffing changes.
We made a small staffing change in our Visceral studio today to support the needs of the studio's two current development priorities: content for Battlefield Hardline Premium and an unannounced Star Wars project…We are working to ensure the smoothest transition possible for the impacted employees.
Just last month, Steve Papoutsis, who was Visceral's General Manager, left the studio — a move unrelated to Hardline according to EA.
