LED Show 2013 Panelists Debate Future Needs of LEDs for General Lighting
The LED Show 2013 held in Las Vegas on Aug. 13-15 had its largest ever turnout, with more than 2,600 people from 54 countries, and more than 100 exhibitors.
A session of expert panelists The LED Show 2013 session emphaiszed some difference among industry leaders on the future advancements of LEDs for general lighting, according to convention web site.
The presentation focused on how to meet solid-state lighting (SSL) system quality and cost goals with different LED technologies and brought out the different ideas about how LEDs and SSL systems will evolve, according to the site.
Chad Stalker, regional marketing manager for the Americas at Philips Lumileds, said that future efficacy advancements will come at the system level than the component level. He said that LEDs will continue to improve but at a slower rate, according to the site.
Stalker's presentation covered advancements at the component level, outside of efficacy, that can improve system efficacy and deliver better quality light. He said better red LEDs mixed with phosphor-converted white LEDs are critical, LED Show said.
Erik Swenson, manager of LED sales at Nichia, discussed mid-power LEDs. Swenson says that these components are improving efficacy more rapidly than high-power devices and offer better quality and aesthetics that better match many application requirements, LED Show said.
Swenson also said that mid-power devices have an economy of scale advantage that high-power devices cannot match.
Paul Scheidt, product marketing manager at Cree, discussed the system-level problems with cost. He said LEDs as less of a factor to system cost relative to other things such as drivers, thermals, and optics, the show. Scheidt outlined different ways to address the system cost issue using different types of LEDs and different system architectures.
Scheidt also said that mid-power LEDs will shift in color with unacceptable results in as little as two years. He said the problem is especially significant as you drive the LEDs harder and try to limit the number of LEDs in the system.

Expertise and Experience
—Sara Kashani
Design for America Asthma Team
The A-Team!
—Sara Kashani
UPDATES: The A-team (A for Asthma!) has been working on rapid prototyping. We've focused on a storybook model to address the following question, which was developed after months of user research and reviews of the clinical literature:
How might we clarify or facilitate a child's expression of their asthma symptoms so that their parents may know what actions to take for their care?
The storybook would feature colorful pictures and appeal to children between the ages of 3 and 6. We wanted to incorporate a "choose your own adventure" type of feature, so that children could decide what story line to follow, depending on how they felt that day and what symptoms they were experiencing. At the same time (and more importantly), the book would serve as a teaching tool to allow for better communication between children and parents (which addresses our question above).
So far, we've visited the children's section of Barnes and Noble (see previous post) and dedicated a meeting to developing quick prototypes to get things started. This week, we've been trying to develop some more workable prototypes. Sensing some slowed momentum, I wanted to reach out to someone with a lot of design experience, especially with projects geared towards kids, and to try to get some insight—perhaps we could find some new meanings and directions for our project in this way.
So yesterday, I got the chance to talk to Hannah Chung, one of the original DFA co-founders, who along with another DFA alum (Aaron Horowitz), is currently working on their project, Jerry the Bear, at the Betaspring accelerator. Jerry's ancient relative to other projects—he followed soon after DFA's inception at Northwestern in 2009; I first met Hannah during Summer Fellows 2010. I remembered that she had worked on another children's health project for DFA: Color Me Brave, a coloring book for kids with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). I figured there might be parallels between the design process for Color Me Brave and Hannah's other projects that could help out the A-team.
After getting updates on Jerry (he's doing very well), Hannah and I got to talking about the A-Team's progress and our attempts at rapid prototyping. In a nutshell, this is what she recommended: take a step back and create a journey map. For example, we could match the symptoms that we've researched with how children actually communicate about those symptoms with their parents and others. In other words, our rapid prototyping could benefit greatly from some highly-focused user research that links what we've learned and studied to what words and phrases (in the real world) actually flow back and forth between children who have asthma and their parents.
Hannah and I talked about some other things, too, not all of them about journey maps, but what I did take away from our conversation is something that I'm going to term "translational design," a way for me to describe applied design using the language of one of the hottest fields in medical science today. "Translational medicine," currently a popular undertaking for clinicians, policymakers, and scientists, describes how we can take clinical or basic science research findings, combine them with what we know about our society and its people, and use all that insight to treat and/or improve the health of patients in some way (e.g. via new drugs, new devices, or even new systems—all for therapeutic benefit; the movement of biological findings in the lab to the market, or from the proverbial "bench to bedside").
Analogously, during this stage of our project, "translational design" can help us map out all the medical and pediatric asthma-related research we've accumulated in a way that can show us how children actually communicate their symptoms with their parents. This way, our storybook will be better informed, both in terms of the science/symptoms and the communications/reality. Ultimately, we too would like to translate our months of research into a workable solution that addresses our question way up there.
I'm excited to see what new directions our project might take once we start developing a journey map for our users' experiences!
—Sara Kashani
Next Steps: We want to create a journey map to capture what's actually said between parents and their children with asthma. We're looking for anyone whose got a child with asthma to help us with this part—please contact us if you'd be willing to give us your input! We can even honor or feature you and/or your child on our blog if you'd like (but only with your permission, of course).
We went to Barnes and Nobles for our meeting, which turned out to be quite fun. So we are thinking we should mix it up in the future as far as meeting location goes.
We read a few story books to get a feel of what writing a children's book for kids with age ranging from 3-8. One of the few characteristics that we thought of include:
Next steps:
Claire, if you want to add to any of these pointers, since you took notes, whereas i'm just recalling from what I can remember, please do!
Claire's Nuggets:
I enabled comment for this site! You are welcome to post any relevant information or questions for our project!
How might we clarify or facilitate a child's expression of their asthma symptoms so that their parents may know what actions to take for their care.

the development of automated mapping systems. Their research on map reading processes, map production techniques, cartographic generalization, and cartographic design has facilitated the automation and formalization of what had been an intuitive manual procedure. With generalization, for example, a conceptual model has been devised that separates the subjective and holistic approaches of traditional cartography into discrete subcomponents that have been successfully incorporated into digital mapping software (McMaster and Shea, 1992). Cartographers have also worked to prevent the inadvertent misuse of computer mapping systems and maps by developing expert systems for map production.
Some of the most interesting and potentially useful research conducted by geographers today is in the realm of dynamic or animated cartography. Animation enables the visualization of changes in phenomena across space, through time, and in attributes of the phenomena themselves (see Sidebar 4.3). One of the earliest animated maps of the microcomputer era showed the spread of AIDS at the county level in Pennsylvania (Gould, 1989). This animation was used to highlight the initial concentrations and spatial diffusion of the disease more effectively than a sequence of static maps. The intention of this dramatic portrayal was to inform and educate health care researchers and the general population. The cartographic techniques developed in this research subsequently led to inclusion of a series of animated maps in one of the best-selling CD-ROM encyclopedias.
Geographers have led the way in research on another new cartographic format: electronic atlases and atlases on CD-ROMs. In a recent project undertaken jointly by Florida State University, the Florida Department of Education, and IBM, an atlas of Florida was published on a CD-ROM and distributed to all schools in the state ("Atlas of Florida," 1994; see Figure 4.5). This format permits the inclusion of multimedia material that could not be accommodated by traditional printed text: audio, video, animation, or a multitude of photographs and other graphics. Electronic atlases and related geographic programs are already proving to be effective in educational settings, especially at the kindergarten through grade 12 levels. The newly released "ExplOregon: A Geographic Tour of Oregon" (a 1995 multimedia CD-ROM developed by William Loy with Digital Chisel software by Pierian Spring Software) is changing the way that the geography of Oregon is taught and learned in schools throughout the state. As national standards for geography education are developed, educational aids such as electronic atlases will become indispensable.
Geographic information systems were defined in 1992 by the U.S. Geological Survey as "computer system[s] capable of assembling, storing, manipulating, and displaying geographically referenced information" (USGS, 1992). Such systems, in fact, have power, utility, and importance far beyond this definition, both within and beyond the field of geography. Their most valuable potential capability,

The many textures of makeup
Do You Take Texture Into Consideration When Applying Makeup?
by Beauty 29 Reactions 0 Shares Print
When choosing your makeup look du jour, do you think about how to best combine the differences in textures, or do you only really think about color? Here's a look from the 2008 Fall runways, that pairs a powder bronzer with a matte lip and subtle dewy eyes. How important is the texture vs. the color of your makeup when you're planning out your look?

Color AND texture are both important to me. If one or the other isn't working, then the entire look could appear "off." Make-up selection and application can tend to be an art form.

texture is a huge deal to me. i have very dry, acne prone skin, with eczema. if i use too much foundation because the texture is off, it makes me look 20 years older. or if the shadow is so shimmery/slickery it covers my whole face, it just isn't going to work.
AllaWallaBalla 6 years
For me, texture plays a part in my makeup-related decision in a multitude of ways. To begin with, I have to consider my skin's natural texture (oily/acne-prone) when selecting a foundation to ensure that the two are compatible (i.e. anything that isn't mattifying or contains oil will only make me look like a baking sheet at best and cause acne at worst). Secondly, there's the unspoken "cream to cream, powder to powder" rule of application: if one cannot apply a cream blush to a matte foundation and/or powdered face because it will cause streaking and one cannot apply a powder blush on top of liquid foundation that hasn't been set with powder.
bluecanary 6 years
I have combo skin so texture is something I pay attention to and struggle with everyday. Too matte under my eyes and I look way older than I am, too "dewy" and I look like a greasy teenager. Matte and sheer eyeshadows with glossy lashes, etc... It's a lot of flipping work! :)
msgolitelee 6 years
both are so important, i wish more people would pay attention to these details when applying makeup.

both are important...but if the color isn't right, it throws the whole look off. Sometimes textures can be tricky and my face will end up looking too cakey and more like a mask if I'm not careful.

of course you need to consider both! Texture is important for your skin current condition while color is a fun way to play up or down.

I finally found the name of the dessert pictured above! The night when we stopped by Bosie Tea Parlor, the waitress notified us of their dessert specials, but all I could remember was "…. …. pistachio". After a little bit of Google research I found that it is called a Raspberry Pistachio Montabello.
The raspberry pistachio montabello was insanely good. The cake was dense but airy at the same time. It had a meringue-like cookie crunch with the center filled with pistachio cream. The ripe raspberries looked like precious stones on top giving the whole tart a pop of color and flavor.
Bosie Tea Parlor has a very extensive tea menu. Too much so that it was difficult to decide. Finally, we asked the waitress for her recommendation and we selected a coconut infused tea to go with our dessert. The coconut was very aromatic, but when tasted, it was very subtle. It was perfect dessert to end a perfect night.

Within the development community there seems to be a subtle disrespect towards the web design profession. Programmers view designers as disconnected Photoshop artists; furthermore, they consider designing to be a much easier job than programming. This viewpoint is unfortunate. Writing software is a team effort and everyone helps to make it possible. Developers must convert ideas into code, QA analysts must maintain high standards of quality, and web designers must ensure the software is easy to use and visually appealing. Without each of these working in concert even the best ideas will fail. Building an elegant website exposes a universal cognitive bias.

«Mantra» is harmonious combination of the sounds that have salutary effect on mental and physical conditions of the person who pronounce it. «Mantra» tea will allow you to create harmony in your soul, feel energy in your body, and achieve clarity of your mind.
Packing that is carried directly by the factory, located in the tea plantation, secures unforgettable tea aroma. When opening the tea pack, you will feel purity and energy of the Himalayan air, as well as uncompromising attitude of the traditional Indian tea.
«Mantra» tea marking allows you to know about the place and season of the tea plucking, processing and packing.
Famous Darjeeling tea that is collected from the tea bushes of more than 100 years is washed with rains coming from the Himalayan peaks. It is grown on the steep slopes of the Himalayan foothills, and also associated with «Tea Champaign», which explains the relationship between taste and aroma features, on the one side, and bush age and the period of tea leaves growing, on the other.
Primary Darjeeling tea plantations are located at heights between 1500 and 3500 meters. Noteworthy, the height of the Mont Blanc Mountain , the highest one in Europe, is … At such heights that are located at the state border between Nepal and India ( Darjeeling province, West Bengal state), climate is significantly different from that of Europe , even at the same altitude. There are essential wet cool of the Himalayas and Indian tropical moisture in Darjeeling . As such, it has a unique geographical location that allows to achieve the best quality of taste and aroma of the tea leaves.

Insta-Peep-o-Gram: Nick Hines
"I'm seventeen. I love nature and art! I'll try not to disappoint you," Nick Hines announces on the header of his Instagram page. What follows is a litany of kaleidoscopic, psychedelic, digitally altered images from rural, south eastern Ohio, where snow falls on empty fields and trees stand tall and uninterrupted. Nick then processes the images, sometimes adding an overlay, and then ships his magical world out to the masses, one shot at a time.
On Instagram, we often choose to follow those in the fast lane: the magazine editors, the celebrities, the models, all those boldface types. Everyone lives in Paris, London, New York. They take pictures of vegan food in San Francisco restaurants and snap shots while tanning on South African beaches. Nick (for the time being) is far removed from that, and that's what makes his world so wonderful. His relative remoteness is an asset, and the images that he creates as a result do anything but disappoint.
The Inside Source wanted to pick the brain of this young photographer-in-the-making and find out what it's like to approach photography having been born fully immersed in the digital age. Nick was kind enough to oblige.
Jenny Bahn: Can you tell us a little about where you're from?
Nick Hines: I live about two hours away from Columbus, which would be… [MORE] the nearest large city. I live on a farm but I'm anything but a country kid. My home is actually located in Wayne National Forest and that's why I have so many nature-themed pictures. It's beautiful here all year long but I hardly get away from here and I'd like to see way more of the world than what I have. Everyone around here is the same.
Q: Do you take all your photos on your iPhone?
A: I do take all of my photos on my iPhone 3GS. The camera is actually pretty good for being so outdated compared to the ones in newer iPhones. Luckily, I get my new iPhone in April though!
Q: What are some of your favorite apps?
A: My favorite apps are Snapseed, Split Pic, and Decim8. I'd say my absolute favorite would be Snapseed though because it makes any picture look like a professional did it. The other two I like just because they are neat and look like I know what I'm doing. Haha.
Q: Do you ever shoot on real cameras, or just the iPhone?
A: I do not take pictures on real cameras. It's harder for me to get creative with real ones for some reason. Plus, I don't even own a camera of my own besides the one in my phone.
Q: How did you get into photography?
A: I don't think that there was a specific time that I got into photography. I started at the end of last winter when I first discovered Instagram. To be honest, at first I was horrible at taking pictures but then fortunately I evolved into a much better artist. Now photography consumes most of my free time. I'd say that I started really getting into it though when I saw the works of others that inspired me.
Q: What are your favorite things to shoot?
My favorite things to photograph are trees. I am obsessed with anything nature, especially trees. I love how no two trees are the same and how the branches twist and turn up to the sky. They are just too beautiful. Over the summer I was always out in the forest under one.
To follow Nick on Instagram, his handle is @nick_hines.

What is "Travel" Allowance and "Living Away From Home" (LAFH) AllowanceMany construction workers are missing out on large deductions for "Travel allowance" and "Living Away From Home Allowance" (LAFH).
In many cases, construction and other workers receive a travel allowance and or a LAFH allowance to cover the costs of accommodation, food and other costs while working away from home. But these allowances, although sounding similar, are different in both the way they are paid and the way a deduction is claimed. For a detailed explanation of both see our post Claiming Travel Allowance Expenses.
Receving "Travel" AllowanceReceipt of a "travel" allowance is a pre-requisite to claiming a travel allowance using the ATO's "reasonable" amount method that does not require substantiation. A "travel" allowance is assessable income (see our post What is Assessable Income) and must be included as income on your tax return.
Some employers show the allowance separately on the PAYG Payment Summary. Others don't. That is when we need to do some more investigation to confirm receipt of a "travel" allowance.
In some cases the allowance is folded into the "Gross Income" on the PAYG Payment Summary. In this case, you need to either check your paysips for the detail or obtain a letter from your employer confirming receipt of a "travel" allowance and the amount.
Claming against "Travel" AllowanceThe ATO provides guidelines for "...what are the reasonable travel and meal allowance expense amounts..." that can be included in the tax return. Where a construction worker has received an "assessable" travel allowance than travel expense claims can be made under these guidelines. The benefit of using the "reasonable" expense method is the expense claims do not require substantiation.
Where workers wish to claim more than the guidelines the total expense must be substantiated (not just the amount in excess of the ATO guidelines).
For the 2013 tax return the "reasonable allowance" can be between $213 and $472 per day, depending on circumstances and locations. For example, If a construction worker receved an assessable "travel" allowance and spent 70 days of the year in a country area the allowabe deduction to be included in the tax return could be $14910
Living Away From Home (LAFH) AllowanceSome care needs to be taken when "Living Away From Home Allowance" (LAFH) is received from the employer as this allowance is paid under the Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT) guidelines. Fringe Benefits are not "assessable" income for the employee since tax has already been paid on the amount under the FBT rules. Accordingly, you can not claim a tax deduction against the allowance using the ATO's "reasonable" expense method.
LAFH allowances are usually made for longer term arrangements. A claim against this reimbursement can only be made where the actual expense incurred by workers is greater than the allowance received. In this case the total amount claimed must be substantiated (ie. receipts for all costs - not just the amount in excess of the allowance). An exception to this is where the number of days away is 21 days or less on each arrangement.
See this post for the latest ATO Changes to LAFH Allowance and FBT
Missed out on Claiming a Deduction for Travel Allowance?Whether you are a construction worker, travelling sales person or for other reasons your employment requires you to travel away from home you may be entitled to a substantial allowable deduction. The LAFH allowance relates to both domestic and overseas work related travel.
If you haven't claimed the deduction in your current or previous tax returns you are able amend your tax return up to two years after the assessment was issued. There may be additional tax dollars you are currently entitled to?
If you believe you have missed out on this deduction you can contact our office on 07 3208 3888 and discuss it further. It doesn't matter if you are local or interstate - we can still do your tax returns by Internet, email or snail mail.

Sagal, sun highlight 2014 Commencement
This article is part of The Story Behind, a regular series that features extraordinary photos from Warren Wilson life. (Click here to see more.)
Rarely do temperatures dive into the 30s on the morning of Commencement in mid May at Warren Wilson College. Even rarer is a commencement address by Peter Sagal, host of NPR's "Wait Wait… Don't Tell Me!"
But both came together nicely at Warren Wilson's 2014 Commencement May 17 on Sunderland Lawn. After a chilly, foggy start to the day, a warm sun broke through for the College's 46th Commencement as a four-year institution. And Sagal's first college commencement speech shone just as brightly at the ceremony where 172 Warren Wilson graduates received their bachelor's degrees.
From processional to recessional, the 2014 Commencement was a celebration of the achievements of an accomplished group of graduates. This year's top senior honors went to Nora White, Pfaff Cup winner, and Hannah Monroe, Sullivan Award recipient. Maggie Mae Farthing was chosen by her classmates to be Senior Class Speaker; she also received the inaugural Student Life Senior Award. Top teaching awards went to Mark Brenner (faculty), professor of environmental studies and biology, and Chase Hubbard (staff), manager of the Warren Wilson College Farm.
Sagal came to Asheville on the heels of the Washington, D.C., taping of the final "Wait Wait" with retiring scorekeeper Carl Kasell. Despite a typically whirlwind week, Sagal was every bit as engaging and witty as he is on his weekly show.
Following is the text of his address to the Class of 2014:
Good morning graduates, faculty, parents of graduates – you must be proud – and parents of faculty, although seriously, folk, it might be time to let it go. Good morning as well to President Solnick, which is hard for me to say without laughing because I've known him for a long, long time. "President Solnick." Right. Nice to meet you, I'm Empress Sagal.
I have the difficult task of imparting some advice to you, at this moment that you enter the Real World. That is, other than: Don't.
Of course, as graduates of Warren Wilson College, you are the least in need of such advice. You actually had to work. This is the only institution young people attend with a work requirement. Well, the only one they attend voluntarily. It's like a minimum security prison your parents pay for.
You grew your own food, you maintained your own buildings, provided your own services… you are uniquely positioned to thrive well beyond any other college graduates of today, as long as the future you now walk into involves a Zombie Apocalypse. Because when it does come, you guys will be growing food and forging weapons and maintaining a robust IT network powered by captive zombies shambling on treadmills. You guys are trained survivors. You know what you call a Harvard grad, like me, in a zombie apocalypse? An entrée.
However, in the unlikely event that the zombie apocalypse DOESN'T come, and you need to come up with some kind of Plan B, I thought I would try to give some pointers.
This is hard to do, because I come before you today as a complete failure. But maybe you might find the nature of my failure useful, as a counter example.
When I graduated from college, I dreamed, more than anything, of dazzling the world with my important work. I was inspired, as I'm sure many of you are, by a famous quote from Jack Kerouac's "On the Road." You probably know it.
He wrote,
"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!"
I thought that would be great, to be one of those mad ones, mad to talk and desirous of everything at the same time. It never occurred to me until much later to think about what happens to those people Kerouac is talking about. They explode. With all due apologies to your generation's Jack Kerouac, Ms. Katie Perry, you really don't want to be a firework. They're pretty to look at, but they don't last long, and while they're burning, most other people tend to keep their distance. Seriously, have you seen Katie Perry's video? She's got sparks shooting out of her breasts! And people are like, well, that's cool! Nobody runs away, screaming, Oh my god, she's shooting sparks from her breasts! Nobody tries to put her out! Instead, they just are like, whoa, cool, let's follow her around. Nonsense. Those who burn really, really brightly end up as piles of ash. For example, Neal Cassady, the man who Kerouac loved most and who appears in On the Road as the character Dean Moriarty, ended up dying, most likely, of a drug overdose at the age of 41. Kerouac himself drank himself to death at the age of 47.
So after college, I went out to LA to be a Big Screenwriter and make Important Movies, or at least profitable ones, so I could at least be famous, and that didn't work out and instead I spent a lot of time at a theater, a theater that did new plays and most of them were terrible, and some of them were brilliant, by writers like Tony Kushner and Paula Vogel and Donald Marguilies, so I decided, naturally, first, that I would be a playwright, and second that I would be one of the brilliant ones. I would write amazingly smart and difficult plays, and these plays would instruct and edify the theater going public, and when my plays were performed before an audience, that audience would either apologize to me or form a mob to hang me, and either outcome would be fine.
What I wanted to be, what I felt I had to be, on the day when I sat where you are now, was Great. Why did I want to be great? I wanted to be great because that's what I was always told I should want.
You are deluged with the same slogans day after day, year after year.
Make no small plans.
Be the change you want to be in the world.
Imagine the person you want to be, and overcome every obstacle so you may become that person.
So that was my goal. I was going to be Great. I was going to be a household name. I was going to be devoted to my art, a slave to my muse, and if that meant that I would have to treat some people badly along the way – well, I'm sure they would understand, when I explained it wasn't my fault, it was my muse's. I wasn't here to comfort people. I wasn't here to leave large tips. I couldn't pause while writing the great American play in order to write Thank You Notes.
You may have noticed that I am not, in the fact, The Great American Playwright. I am not even 'A' Great American Playwright. I am a man who makes fart jokes on the radio.
And now I have made one in a college commencement speech.
And that is my failure.
It didn't work. It didn't pan out. The plays I wrote were good but not good enough, or maybe they were good enough but they didn't meet the tenor of the times. They got produced but not reviewed, or not reviewed well enough, and there was this one actress who ruined things, and this one director who didn't know what he was doing, and one producer who didn't come through and the next thing I knew I was scrambling to make a living and I wrote "Dirty Dancing 2" without meaning to, which pretty much was the extent of my screenwriting career, and one day I got a job offer to be on this new pretty lame show on NPR, and I took it because I needed the medical insurance and it seemed fun, and 16 years went by and now I'm here, speaking to you.
And yet.
Failure has a way of teaching you things. For one thing, it teaches you that your ideas of what failure is might need some adjustment.
To wit: my goal in life was to make people uncomfortable. Instead I ended up amusing them. Helping them while a way an hour, that might otherwise be tedious or dull. People come up to me and tell me that they listen to their show while driving their kids to soccer, or while doing the dishes, or the laundry, or stripping their boat. Once, a young woman with an inordinate amount of tattoos and piercings, told me that she listened to the show at her job, embalming bodies. At least, I hope it was her job.
For a long time, this seemed either inadequate to my supposed talents, and far, far from the kind of mark I had wanted to leave on the world. And I struggled with this for a long time. And gradually I came to understand something. It came from thinking less about what I wanted to do to other people, and more about what it was I wanted people to do for me.
I had wanted, as an artist, to annoy people, to make them uncomfortable, to question and to shock them and to smash them out of their complacent little lives. And yet, in my own complacent little life, I didn't want to be shocked or smashed out of my complacency. I liked my complacency. It was hard won. Complacent, after all is what unhappy people call happy people.
What I genuinely liked was to laugh. What I liked was to feel welcome. What I liked was to be comforted, in some way, that everything was all right, that I wasn't entirely alone out here. Even if it wasn't true. Especially if it wasn't true.
Another thing that began to change for me was not just the experiences I chose but the people I chose. One of the great privileges of being an artist, I had always thought, was to hang out with Artists. Who would want to hang out with me, while at the same time scorning the rest of the population. Because if they weren't jerks to everyone else, what would be the value of their affection to me? To paraphrase a great American film, "The Incredibles," if you treat everyone like they're special, then no one is.
But I got older, which is something I did end up having a talent for. And I discovered something surprising, is that whether somebody had created something Amazing or Great or Immortal really had little to do with how much I wanted to hang out with them. There are people who think their artistic or financial success qualifies them to be jerks. Their patron saint is the composer Rickard Wagner, who wrote brilliant Operas, while at the same time lying, cheating, betraying or simply abusing every person who made the mistake of helping him. I thought about the great problem of separating the artist's work from the artist, and I decided I would continue to go see Wagner's operas, but not if I had to sit next to Rickard Wagner.
No: instead, the people who I sought out were different than the kind of tormented geniuses I had thought I wanted to be. I wasn't like Kerouac: I didn't want to hang out with the ones who were mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, or generally mad to do anything at all. I wanted to be, as dull as it sounds, to hang with the nice ones. But mostly, with those who were light.
And by that, I mean, those who didn't feel or carry the burdens of this life, either to suffer them or to express them. I didn't want to experience the agony or the ecstasy. I wanted to experience the comforts of friendship and laughter. Not gravitas but goofiness.
And meanwhile, contrary to my intentions the last time I wore a robe like this, I myself had become someone who offered those moments to a mass audience. In addition to the people who told me they helped me get them through their chores, there were people who told me that my show helped them get through a divorce, or the death of a loved one, or chemotherapy. There were people who told me that listening to my show make fun of the news was the only thing that made the news bearable.
There was one woman who was struck by a sudden illness and fell into a coma, hovering on the balance point between life and death. Doctors told this woman's family that it was really up to the woman whether to live or die, and if they wanted to help her make a decision to live, they should try to remind her, of something she might like to live for. So they played her episodes of "Wait Wait… Don't Tell Me!" and she came out of the coma. We got this woman and her wife free tickets to see our show when we came to their town, and when I met her I experienced either the most satisfying reward any person could ever hope for – I helped a human being come back to life! – or the most elaborate and impressive scheme to get free tickets to a radio show ever conceived. Either way, I was impressed.
So what I have come to accept is that instead of being the burr in the shoe of America, it was my role to be your soothing voice. Your down pillow. Your comfort. Your friend. Your plush toy.
And I realized, at last, that this was of being greater service to the world, to my fellow men and women, than telling them that everything was screwed. That my failure to be a firecracker had led me instead to be a candle. We burn slower. But we have a warmer light. And we make you want to get closer.
So my advice to you, graduates – you knew I'd get here eventually – is that you forget about working on being the person you want to be. Your own ambitions sometimes can't be trusted. Chances are you've borrowed them from somebody else anyway.
But you know what you like. You know who you like. So instead of spending all that effort to be the person you want to be, work and strive to be the person you want to be with.
The people you want to be with – most likely – don't take themselves, or you, too seriously. They're kind and generous and never make you subject to their needs. They treat you like a valued friend, like a benefit to their life, rather than raw material. They make themselves of use. They make great things that they like to share with you, be it paintings or cookies or jokes. Sometimes, they made tedious tasks bearable.
Strive to be that person. Because life is short, even now, when it seems to stretch before you. And I think that contrary to the ancient wisdom, it is not better to burn out than fade away. That is a false choice. We will all burn out, and then we will all fade away. The best choice is to give some warmth while you do it.
If you can't manage that, I suggest fart jokes. It's worked for me.
Congratulations to you all!

Exterior Detail, Marine Building, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
Photo by Steven Ballegeer
There are so many shots of this magnificent building to choose from but I liked this one that shows of the fact the building has so much ornamentation it's actually like barnacles!
From Flickr:
Vancouver's Art Deco masterpiece designed by architects McCarter and Nairne. When it was completed in 1930 it was the tallest building in the British Empire. The building's richly decorated terra cotta exterior is meant to look as if the building had risen from the sea and was still encrusted in marine animals, coral and kelp.
This is some of the detail at the top of the arch over the main entry.

"Time overtakes the Marine Building"
John Mackie, Vancouver Sun
Originally published on 7/10/2004
Seventy-five years ago, the cornerstone was laid for the grandest and most opulent skyscraper Vancouver had ever seen. Built at the onset of the Great Depression, the Marine Building would prove to be a financial bust, driving its original owners broke. But artistically, it was a complete success, arguably the best building ever built in Vancouver, and one of the finest examples of art deco architecture in the world.
"The building suggests some great marine rock rising from the sea, clinging with sea flora and fauna, tinted in sea green, flashed with gold, at night a dim silhouette piercing the sea mists," wrote The Vancouver Sun in an opening day supplement on Oct. 7, 1930.
Great marine rock or not, the Marine Building looks impressive from any angle.
Looking west from Granville and Hastings, the elegant symmetry of the building's central tower is simply breathtaking, its white terra cotta trim providing the perfect accent to its brown brick body.
Standing in front of the swinging doors at 355 Burrard, it's hard to know what to highlight: the seahorses, crabs and assorted sea life carved into the bronze door frame, the eight historic ships etched in bas relief above the front arch, or the terra cotta zeppelins, biplanes and trains subtly placed amid the brick to signify state of the art transportation circa 1929.
The two-storey-high lobby is just as cool. The soft brown tiled walls give it a timeless air, as if you are entering some special, ancient place (supposedly, it was designed to evoke a Mayan temple). But there are also some classic deco futurist geometric designs, sunbursts, lightning bolts and zigzags.
Throw in the mind-blowing elevators (bronze doors a dazzling array of sea fauna and an exploding star, interior an intricate blend of exotic woods) and the unbelievable plasterwork on the ceiling (featuring even more sea life) and you've got a building that is utterly unique, and uniquely Vancouver.
Perched on the edge of the downtown bluff that was the original Coal Harbour shoreline, the Marine Building was designed to be the office building downtown, an architectural showpiece that would serve as the hub of the city's thriving marine trade. For a short time, it was the tallest building in the British Empire.
"It really was designed to be the best building in Canada," said heritage expert John Atkin. "Which it pretty well comes close to being."

I discovered a nice photoset on Flickr showcasing Vancouver's Marine Building. Rather over the top! I'm posting several photos from the set.
From the photographer:
As lauded on its very own website, it really is "Vancouver's Finest Heritage Building"
On April 22, 2010, I finally had the privilege of attending a Heritage Vancouver event in the penthouse, with Don Luxton and Chuck Davis officiating! Such a great time! Such a beautiful view! Thanks, @HeritageVan.

Don't Give God Your Life
- Tuesday, December 03, 2013
BANG! Bang!
I jolted awake. What is that sound? I peered through the curtains to see Steve hammering on some odd contraption in the yard.
Does that man ever sleep? It's six o'clock in the morning! And he was helping the kids with homework yesterday until after midnight.
This was my fourth day at the orphanage that Steve and his wife, Johanna, managed, and each day I grew more amazed at how much he worked. Literally from sunup to sundown, he was building, fixing, teaching, praying, and bandaging little knees. He was three times my age, but did more in one day than I did in a week. Seriously! And you know what was even more amazing? Steve had already memorized an entire chapter from the book of Isaiah in English—and was now memorizing it in Spanish!
If anyone didn't have time to memorize Scripture or read the Word daily, it was this man. Yet, he made it a priority to seek God. And you could see the love of the Lord flowing from him and sustaining him.
I was amazed.
And, I'll be honest, I felt a bit ashamed. I often said, "I'm too busy to spend time with God today. I'll get to it tomorrow or in a few weeks when stuff at work calms down." And here was a custodian of an orphanage—who was also a local pastor and teacher!—memorizing Scripture in two languages.
My excuses paled in comparison. The truth was I was lazy.
Sometimes we think that only "special" people—like pastors, scholars, and monks—should be committed to seeking God on a daily basis. But the rest of us, with our full schedules and hectic lives, should be exempt…right? We simply don't have that kind of time on our hands. Some day, if our schedules do line up perfectly, we'll be glad to commune with Christ more regularly.
But Jesus didn't say, "Follow me when it's convenient." He said, "Whoever serves me must follow me" (John 12:26). Such commitment is for everyone—not just for super Christians or people with perfect schedules! And, honestly, if Steve can find the time to commune with Christ, then surely we can too. Our lives are probably 90% easier than his!
But I wondered: What drove Steve to pursue Christ so fervently despite the pressing needs of his wife and 14 orphan children who called him "Daddy"?
A treasured relationship with his Heavenly Father.
The relationship started with Christ pursuing Steve (John 6:44), and through repentance and faith in Christ, Steve received a new life.
Steve loved Christ and he knew that to love Christ is to obey Him. But to obey God, you have to know Him. And to know Him, you have to spend time with Him. And that is why Steve ran after Christ: He knew that in the end "moths and rust" would destroy his earthly treasures, but what he did for Christ (knowing Him and making Him known to others) would last for eternity.
Knowing Christ does not happen by sitting in a room that has a Bible in it. It requires effort, sacrifice, and time. But as Christians, how can we not make time for the One to whom we owe our lives?
Many of us want to seek God, but actually doing it is a completely different story. Charles Spurgeon says, "Holy desires must lead to resolute action. Desires are seeds which must be sown in the good soil of activity or they will yield no harvest. We shall find our desires to be like clouds without rain, unless followed up by practical endeavours" (Charles Spurgeon Commentary of Psalm 27:4).
