In Japanese art and textile printing, the use of patterns has a long tradition. In Japanese architecture, layering is an established technique that has already inspired the likes of Frank Lloyd Wright and Mies van der Rohe. Now, the laboratory of renowned architect Kengo Kuma has developed a technically sophisticated methodology that unites patterns and layering in a single structural concept for the first time.
The book Patterns and Layering presents innovative structures that are created by stacking fragile, patterned layers. Although each individual layer can contain a variety of patterns, it will nevertheless still completely fulfill its structural responsibilities. The results are strikingly delicate, yet remarkably stable.
The book's detailed texts explain how layering and patterns function as spatial tools with which one can create extraordinary structures that are able to coexist in harmony with nature, people, and culture. Patterns and Layering not only explores historical contexts and developments, but also shows cutting-edge experiments that were realized with valuable input from Kengo Kuma and his colleague Yusuke Obuchi. According to Kuma, the book "has the potential to begin a new architectural and design revolution."
Editors Salvator-John A. Liotta and Matteo Belfiore, as well as other contributors, worked closely with Kengo Kuma at his research laboratory at the University of Tokyo. Thanks to Kuma's enthusiasm for the book as well as the inclusion of design details such as silkscreen prints and calligraphy, Patterns and Layering embodies the Japanese understanding of space, nature, and architecture—page for page, layer for layer.
Japanese Spatial Culture, Nature and Architecture
Foreword by Kengo Kuma
Kengo Kuma Laboratory explores and documents a new lightness and transparency in contemporary Japanese architecture.
According to renowned Japanese architect Kengo Kuma, "this book aims to establish the interrelation between patterns and layering within architecture. These two previously detached notions can now be integrated into one methodology mediated by structural concepts. Patterns and Layering is the first book to introduce this new interrelationship, which has the potential to begin a new architectural and design revolution."

Are you too Twitter-obsessed in your social media approach?
Twitter's role as a Magic 8 Ball for our shared culture is unrivaled, and it has almost single-handedly ushered in the era of real-time search and social customer relationship management.
But Twitter is the online equivalent of HBO – important more because of who uses it and the media's infatuation with it, rather than the actual size and impact of its audience.
Don't get me wrong. I advocate participating in Twitter, and I've certainly grown my own audience via that channel. Twitter indeed should be part of almost every company's social media tool kit.
However, Twitter alone does not constitute social media, and you'd think it does given all the disproportionate attention being paid to it at conferences and in trade publications. Let me provide seven reasons why you shouldn't focus solely on Twitter…

Post subject: An Early End
Game played on Saturday December 22nd, 2007. This synopsis was written quicker than usual, and I didn't include speaking parts, just summary.
An Early End
A Synopsis written through the eyes of Cooncarin Trunks
Lucky and I had just woken up to greet Zomb at the Guild Hall doors, when another surprise arrived. Oswald Iambadnd was running behind on a trip from Pleasantville. Oswald is currently in charge of our Pleasantville Guild Hall but I assumed he had come with the plans to another new guild hall we were hoping to build in Rodun. Oswald was in charge of drawing the plans. Unfortunately he had barely started though and had no good news. In fact, Im not sure even to this day what he was doing in Givemea then.
We were all discussing past adventures when one more guest arrived. A messenger came to the hall door, very tired, begging for help. His hometown, Beate (but pronounced butt) was under constant attack by a crazed creature. Tirian, the messenger's name, described it as like a huge snake with a dozen legs and the head of an alligator. Lucky commented on how impressive it would be to kill a creature of such magnitude but we were all a little confused as to why the city would send a messenger across an entire country for help. Beate was in northern Acirema. We had been to Beate before on a trip to Atads Domain. We had stopped for the night and aquired Ginger and Gwenyver (the guild cooks) there. Later, Lucky had married Ginger and on that very day had his first child, a daughter named Hermoine.
The messenger said we were well known for our travels and that he hoped that the distance would be worth the time. We agreed to go since there was a chance to rescue a city, earn some glory/gold, and if all else failed continue on to Atads Domain. Lucky was also already getting sick of his newborn child and preferred to let Ginger handle it. Teleporting to Bont was of course the quickest way to go, but would limit our fighting and adventure. Plus it isnt exactly cheap to teleport, and nobody can argue its completely safe. Of course, walking or riding wouldnt be very quick either. We finally agreed that the river would be the quickest and safest combination to go, plus it would give us a chance to use our newly found magical folding boat. Most of us had never been sailing before, but as a shipwright I knew more than most. Before preparing to leave I gathered one more friend for the trip, Sevik; another cleric. Lucky had also recently converted to clerical studies. I had hoped it would be to serve Paladin better, but I believe he was more curious about priest magic, and the power he could gain. But his intentions were good.
We packed up our equipment and filled our packs with food as soon as we could. Out at the docks I prepared the boat for travel. It wasnt particularly easy to get the boat to unfold perfectly in the water and not sink, but I quickly figured it out. We used the larger of the magical boat options so we would all fit comfortably. From Givemea we sailed to Editon and then walked to Lasic. We stayed the night in Lasic since it was getting late, and in the morning left for Onry. This was the great marvel of the folding boat. We simply gave it the code word and it folded into a small box so we could move it from river to river until we reached Bont. After arriving in Onry we stayed the night, and in the morning prepared the longer journey down the Loug River. With the current going the way we wanted we were able to reach speeds of about 40 mph. Each day flew by with little going on. We passed Ragned, and Indom without many problems. Some sea monsters did both us past Indom, but since we were in a hurry we merely got off the water and hid while they passed. Another note worth mentioning that saved us some trouble was my name spell, Massmorph. Every night that we werent staying in a town I used my spell to disguise us as trees and shrubbery. So, the few creatures that did pass us just ignored the plants it saw.
We eventually got to Pafic, but since it was early in the day continued into Banning, and finally Arado. We made the short side trip to Banning because were always in search of magic and the extra hour or so was worth it. Of course, we found no new magic at any of the shops and left disappointed. From Arado we went down the Brisk River. It would just take over a day to reach Bont, so we went as fast as we could. During the first day of travel out of Bont we saw some winged horses, Pegasi, flying down to eat. We pulled over and Zomb and I went to speak with them. They werent very trusting though so after a short conversation about ourselves we went on our way. That evening one of the pegasi came into our camp. I removed my massmorph spell and went to speak with him. We talked for a bit, but he also seemed unwilling to come with us for any amount of time, and we didnt want to get him in trouble with his leader, so after the evening he went off as well.
The next day we arrived in Bont, and a little while after crossing the border we were in Beate. The group went the the old Bed and Breakfast where Ginger and Gwenyver used to work, and after teasing the current owners went to speak with the town elders. We found out the creature attacking the city was called a Behir, and was just as the messenger (Tirian) described. The entire trip Sevik and I had been teasing Tirian and telling him how bad of a messenger he was. We now continued this teasing by telling the leaders that Tirian was a horrible messenger and should be whipped. We thought we had used enough sarcasm, but the elders didnt seem to understand the joke. Oswald had also been getting acquainted with Tirian, but truly wanted to be his friend. Sevik and I claimed we would never let such a horrible messenger be friends of the guild. (Once again, we were joking but we seemed unfunny to others.)
After learning as much as we could about the Behir we waited for it to come back. Eventually it attacked the city and we went into motion. I levitated into the air with my magical moccasins and the others shot arrows. I prepared a spell to use, a web spell to hold the fast beast still, but ended up having to cancel it. Sevik was caught by the creature and if I used web on it Sevik would be stuck to him even more so. I got my arrows out then, but the battle was half over at that point. I started to float down to attack but the Behir used its lightning breath weapon on me. It hurt but I laughed it off. I landed on the ground to use my sword but only got one shot in at the end of the fight. We decided to use our clerical abilities to speak to the dead thing and find out what information we could. He didnt have much to say though and we decided to follow the monsters tracks back to its lair. I sent forth a magical wizard eye to scout the area first and when no danger was found we went in as well. It had stored some jewelry and gems but it wasnt enough to satisfy us, especially after such a long trip. So we continued on to Atads Domain.
The exploration of the familiar dungeon has little for me to tell. The room where we had previously been granted wishes didnt seem to be working. We were able to get a ring for Zomb which granted him vision in the darkness so that was good. In the cavelike room we found a bunch of humanoids in robes chanting. Oswald quickly closed the door and I prepared a fireball spell. It didnt take long to prepare at all and Oswald opened the door and I let it go in. I noticed right away that most of the creatures inside were missing from before. After the explosion finished we went in to investigate. There were only three dead bodies, all of which were drow elves. We figured they were part of some sacrifice and the rest had left after seeing us. We didnt want to stay in the room long to investigate and continued on our way. After some more exploring we came to another familiar room. The specifics are lost to me because of what happened next. The room had two spiraling vortexes that in the past a dispel magic spell had removed. When Sevik cast this though he disappeared. I cast a locate object person spell to find Sevik, and then I blacked out.
The next thing I remember is being woken up outside of the dungeon and pulled out of a sack. Sevik and Oswald were also being woken up just like me. Apparently what had happened is something teleported us outside, knocked us out, and got us into these sacks and just left us there. Lucky and Zomb came outside hoping to escape this evil power and found us. We have no idea who did this but we plan to find out. We spoke to the leader of Beate and he offered us a small room to use for the guild, but since it was so small, we wouldnt own it, and it was so far away we passed on the offer. We tried to convince the elder that Tirian had promised us gold and land as a reward (Sevik and I disliked Tirian so much at this point, for no particular reason) but the leaders wouldnt buy it. After the travel back to Givemea (which seemed much, much quicker than the first trip) we sold our jewelry and gems for a modest amount of gold.
The trip was technically an overall success but we are always hoping for more. But until the next adventure we shall have to stay sufficed.

I am an avid online gamer. Lately I have been noticing a problem with Medal of Honor Allied
Assault (MOHAA). Every time I try to connect to my server, it just sits there for a while. Some
times it wil eventually connect, some times it times out. If I do get in, everything works fine
until the map is over. When the map changes some times my system just sits at the last maps
scores result page and does nothing and I have to reconnect. Some times it just sits at the
last maps scores result page and I can see console messages from the next map being played
but I am not in that map yet. The thing is my server's IP start with 69.x.x.x and my IP starts
with 69.x.x.x and I have this problem on all servers that start with 69.x.x.x when playing
MOHAA. If I go to a different server that does not start with an IP of 69.x.x.x, I have no
problems. When I play Battle Field Vietnam or Call of Duty and connect to any server that has
an IP that starts with 69.x.x.x I have no problems at all connecting or at map changes. System
config is below. Any Ideas?
Pentium 4 2.8Ghz HT
Ti 4200 8X AGP
MS XP SP2 (was working before and after SP2 update)
Internet connection is Cable Surfboard 4100
NetGear 614 cable Router
This configuration has been the same before the problem started and after.


text: The floor is incredibly low too, unfortunately. Flynn could suck, Lynch could be lazy, Rice could once again suffer an injury, while the defense could take a step backward because of poor offseason decisions. Considering the schedule and all of the uncertainties, it's more likely that the Seahawks will finish third in the NFC West.

HATHAWAY PINES - Carol Fischer's back deck looks out over forested ridges and the Stanislaus River canyon.
HATHAWAY PINES - Carol Fischer's back deck looks out over forested ridges and the Stanislaus River canyon.
The view is spectacular and, sometimes, lonely.
"This is a different kind of life than I ever expected to have," said Fischer, 82. Fischer uses a walker to move around in her home. She no longer drives. Longtime friends died. Her children live out of the area.
She understands what she's facing because she used to work as a nurse, visiting the homes of people isolated by health problems. "I took care of people like me."
Fischer and her husband, Butch, moved to Hathaway Pines a quarter century ago, drawn by the natural beauty. But like many retirees in cabins and ranch homes scattered around Calaveras County, they now find that same rugged, remote landscape leaves them hungry for contact.
That's where Billie Chavez comes into the picture.
Chavez, 66, is a volunteer for Calaveras County's Senior Peer Counseling Program. Every week, she visits Fischer's home. The two talk, sometimes on that back deck with the fantastic view, sharing their ups and downs. Sometimes they go grocery shopping. Sometimes they just go for a drive.
"I don't know what I'd do without her," Fischer said of Chavez. "She's my neighbor, but she's more than a neighbor. She's like a long lost sister."
Chavez said the feeling is mutual.
"It's kind of like having a friend," Chavez said.
Loneliness and the resulting depression can be a crippling, even deadly threat to retirees as they face life crises such as the loss of loved ones and declining health, said Katie Greer, the Calaveras County Behavioral Health Services employee who serves as liaison to the Senior Peers.
Greer said the volunteers are also seniors. They must be 55 and pass a background check. The volunteers attend an orientation and get four days of training.
"Our counselors are trained in active listening," Greer said.
And just like their clients, the volunteers report that the regular visits make their lives better, Greer said.
Chavez, like many volunteers, is also a retiree. She lived in Florida and worked for a telecommunications company before moving to Murphys two years ago to be closer to her daughter, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Once here, she found she had time on her hands.
"I wanted to be able to do something constructive and to help seniors, people my age, to kind of give back," Chavez said.
"I have found out that there are so many people in this area, the mountains, that are so lonely and transportation is such a problem," Chavez said.
The first client Chavez was assigned moved, after a time, to Sacramento to be closer to family. Chavez said it was a blow to lose the regular visits.
"That's that hard thing for a senior peer is letting go," Chavez said.
Now, she and Fischer have been in a senior peer relationship for about a year. They admit that they actually spend more than the required hour a week together.
Thanks to that year, they know a lot about each other, details like Fischer's college years at Indiana University in Bloomington, and Fischer's close relationship to her grandmother, who raised her after her mother died in childbirth.
"We talk about everything and anything, except politics," Chavez said.
Fischer's husband Butch, who she met in Bloomington, also has a senior peer. And Chavez and Carol Fischer say they believe many more Calaveras County residents would be better off if they also had such regular face time with a caring senior peer.
"I bet a lot of people don't know anything about this," Fischer said of the program.
Greer said she's looking for more senior peer volunteers and holds monthly orientations sessions for prospective recruits.

adab8ca replied to bean's topic in Celiac Disease - Post Diagnosis, Recovery/Treatment(s)I glutened myself last year with CRUMBS. Teent tiny amounts, totally by accident. Within 3 hours I had diarrhea that lasted over 6 weeks. I thought I was going to die, everything made me sick. I started taking glutamine and within days was totally better. It was astonishing. I don't know if it was a coincidence, but my Dr was totally stumped and just had me taking immodium so I did not get too dehydrated.
2 Years gluten-free!
adab8ca replied to adab8ca's topic in Celiac Disease - Post Diagnosis, Recovery/Treatment(s)Hi IH!!! xoxoxo back girl!!! Yeah, it has been a crappy long journey, eh? (I can say that, I'm canadian). I expect we will be feeling the effects for a LONG time, but it just reminds me how far I have come. Every day that I am not in screaming pain, I celebrate. Every day that I don't have suicidal depression, I celebrate. That's all I can do. I find myself singing in the car (at the top of my lungs and I am BAD) and remember a time when I thought I would never sing in the car again. Stupid little things like that that make we weep with gratefulness, I will literally CRY when I can do something that two years ago I thought was gone forever. Very few people understand this. You start feeling poorly, you start fading away and pulling back. Your friends and family watch helplessly, fearing you are going to die...You start to get better, they are SO happy but don't even realize the magnitude of how you feel and the hell you have gone through. I would never wish this in anyone but I am not angry anymore that it happened to me. I have learned SO much about who has my back and what I am capable of. What doesn't kill us makes us stronger
2 Years gluten-free!
adab8ca replied to adab8ca's topic in Celiac Disease - Post Diagnosis, Recovery/Treatment(s)The anti depressants took a long time to wean off of...And when I start to freak out, I wonder if I made a mistake, but no regrets. Congrats on 29 months. Amazing how long this healing can take!
2 Years gluten-free!
adab8ca posted a topic in Celiac Disease - Post Diagnosis, Recovery/Treatment(s)2 years gluten-free and everyday I am so thankful that we figured out what was literally killing me. It has not been easy but there are more good days than bad. No more anti depressants. No more weight loss. No more insomnia. Nerve pain is slllllowly getting better. Never give up hope. There were many many dark days, even after diagnosis because it too me SO long to feel human again. When the GI said yup, it's celiac, stop eating gluten and you should feel better in a few days and I didn't, I thought he made a terrible mistake. It was the from the wonderful people here that I learned it can take a LONG time. I learned to be kind to myself and celebrate the good days and push through the not-so-good ones. xo ada
Namaste Spice Cake
adab8ca replied to Diane-in-FL's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medicationsi agree!!! it is delicious. I added extra ginger, so yummy.
Does This Sound Like Gluten Intolerance Or Celiac Disease?
adab8ca replied to Yumeji's topic in Celiac Disease - Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & SymptomsYikes. I had so many of these: Mysterious bruising on the body (i.e., legs, arms, stomach) Raccoon eyes Sticky, floating pale stools Joint/bone pain (prevents sleeping at night)- this was HORRENDOUS Cold hands and feet (intolerance to cold) Extreme fatigue (14-16 h/day) Panic attacks/anxiety (diagnosed) It's hard to say where you may fall in the spectrum. Some Celiacs have negative blood work and positive biopsies, some have positive blood and negative biopsies, some people have neither but heal on a no-gluten diet. If not eating gluten makes you feel better, then I say go for it, especially if you have no intention of getting the endoscopy done. Good luck!
I Am So Excited!
adab8ca posted a topic in Gluten-Free RestaurantsI found a local restaurant in Hamilton, Ontario that SAID they were celiac friendly. I emailed to confirm and got the following from the chef: Hello Ada, We offer a celiac friendly menu and would be happy to look after your dietary needs. Feel free to email or call 905-526-6642 for a reservation. Thank you. Chef David Lewis I am beyond excited.
Is It My Celiac Disease Back Again
adab8ca replied to cristalbleu13's topic in Celiac Disease - Post Diagnosis, Recovery/Treatment(s)You do not get rid of it. Of course your endoscopy came back clear, you stopped eating the stuff that caused the damage. That is the point, When you eat gluten, it causes your body to attack itself and damages your intestines. When you stop, you technically should heal. I don't blame you at all, but I think the Dr. is a problem. The celiac never "went away". You just stopped exacerbating it. Stick with the gluten-free diet. That is likely the problem. Good luck! Maybe look into finding a new doctor? Who knows the basics of celiac disease?
At My Wits End...
adab8ca replied to jnh380's topic in Celiac Disease - Coping WithFirst, huge huge hugs. I can totally relate. Second, two weeks is a DROP in the bucket of time. These things take a long time to heal.Myself, I was diagnosed by a fluke by a neurologist when I had TERRIBLE pain in my nerves. I thought I was going to end up in a wheelchair. My feet could NOT touch the bed when I slept, the pain was so bad. It took a long time to feel better. I was also VERY depressed and had huge anxiety. All of these neurological manifestations can take a while to heal. I can tell you that the nerve pain is MUCH better and manageable and I am off the antidepressants. I am probably healthier in many ways than I have ever been. I too have no contact with the Dr's, no followup. The GI dr said "Stop eating gluten and you should feel better in a few days". Well, that was crap. Everyone heals at a different rate. I bet that the Celiac is making you so, so depressed and anxious. The one piece of advice I have is to be very, very gentle with yourself. Take it one day at a time. Eat whole, unprocessed food that will will limit potential cross contamination. If you haven't done so, give up dairy until your intestines have a chance to heal. If you don't feel well, don't push yourself. You WILL get there.
Gluten Free 3 Months: Hungry!
adab8ca replied to jdizzle's topic in Celiac Disease - Coping WithI know when I went gluten-free, I was SO hungry for months that if it wasn't nailed down, I ate it. It eventually passed....
Anti Anxiety Medication
adab8ca replied to RashyA's topic in Celiac Disease - Post Diagnosis, Recovery/Treatment(s)I had such depression and anxiety that I was almost suicidal. My Dr have me Cymbalta, that I think helped me amazingly.However, I since learned that gluten can be a neuro toxin, so last December I decided to try tapering off and I am OK. Actually better than OK. It may be worth a try but please please please make sure your Dr knows and even alert loved ones in case there are changes in your personality. All the best!
Funny Conversation At Health Food Store!
adab8ca replied to adab8ca's topic in Celiac Disease - Coping WithI didn't get the impression that she had "trouble". Sounded like she may be on the gluten free bandwagon a little bit. I wasn't entirely sure of her problem with it. I didn't go into the details that I thought I was going to die, as did my family since nobody knew what was wrong for ages. and STILL suffer neuro effects! I just beningly smiled and left the store.
Funny Conversation At Health Food Store!
adab8ca posted a topic in Celiac Disease - Coping WithI was at a local health food store buying some organic sausages (on sale) as well as a few other things. I was chatting with the cashier about the crap in the food industry. She then tells me that the WORST food in the world is wheat and that nobody should eat that! I told her (because we had "bonded") nthat it wasn't a problem for me because I have celiac. She exclaims "Ohmigod! You are SO lucky!" I looked at her questioningly and she explained "well, you can't eat it even if you wanted to!". Ummm. OK. My husband compared it so saying "I am so jealous that you are anorexic! I wish I could fit into those jeans" Silly people.
No Name Ice Cream (Loblaws)
adab8ca replied to Silencio's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & MedicationsI solely eat Chapmans since they actually label it gluten free...SOrry, can't help with the Loblaws but if you need a quick fix, then CHapman's may be the way to go.
Confused About Endoscopy Results
adab8ca replied to jenn42's topic in Celiac Disease - Parents of Kids or Babies With Celiac DiseaseBlood work is rarely wrong. It tends to go the other way, people have negative bloodwork and feel tons better off gluten. A few things to consider. Maybe you caught it early so that the damage is patchy or almost non existant or they didn't take enough samples. Doesn't matter. You are saving her from potential health problems down the line! Some enlightened doctors are diagnosing on blood work without a scope because of the sensitivity and specificity of the tests available. Again, I am not sure what tests she had done, so can't comment on her results. There are a group of people called latent or silent celiacs where they have positive blood work, normal endoscopy and no symptoms. They many times go on to develop symptomatic celiac disease. I am a 6 foot tall woman and was diagnosed at 42. I was only sick for a few months but it hit fast and hard. Neuropathy, anxiety, insomnia, depression, weight loss. When I had the endoscopy, my villi were totally flattened. I asked the GI how long have I had this for, to have this much damage and he said all my life! Never a problem and then the poop hit the fan in a big way. There must have been a reason that you had the test? What did the Dr. say to do? How do they explain the positive tests? What tests were done? Personally, I would do it but that's because I almost died, I was so sick. And none of my symptoms were "classic" celiac, so I feel SO lucky that it came out in some tests that we did to rule tings out!

Watch how to make this recipe.
Combine all of the ingredients in a small jar or bowl.
Coat the ribs generously with the rub and refrigerate it for at least 12 hours. It will be better if refrigerated for 24 hours.
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
Arrange the ribs on a sheet pan. Pour 1 beer into the bottom of the pan and cover the pan with foil, trying not to have the foil touch the meat. Put the ribs in the preheated oven and roast for 2 hours. Check the ribs after 1 hour and turn them over. Add more beer, if needed. Rotate the pan.
After 2 hours, remove the foil and roast for 30 minutes more. Remove from the oven and cool.
Sauce: (This can be done while the ribs are roasting.)
Combine all of the ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes. The sauce will not be thick but it should be a homogeneous mixture and very well flavored. Turn off the heat and let cool.
Preheat the grill to a medium-high heat.
Arrange the ribs, meat side down, on the grill and grill until they start to get a little brown and charred, then brush with the sauce. Turn the ribs over, brush with the sauce and grill for 4 to 5 minutes. Brush with the sauce and again turn the ribs over. Grill for another 4 to 5 minutes. At this point the ribs should be nicely browned and really well flavored. Remove them from the grill to a cutting board. Cut the ribs apart and arrange on a serving platter. Serve with lots of napkins.
This will make enough rub for more than the recipe; store the extra in an airtight container and save it for the next time! This sauce can be made ahead and refrigerated until ready to use.

I made a "board game" where you take the part of the zombies, a few years back, which you can download for free here. The downside is you'd have to print out the cards and "board". It is on this page: http://abstrusedecapod.blogspot.com/...page_5339.html . I would be grateful to anyone that tries any of these and gives feedback.
