Ole Scheeren in Beijing, from Nowness
In the latest of NOWNESS' spectacular videos, Ole Scheeren – a former partner at OMA and now principal of Büro Ole Scheeren in Beijing – reflects on the past decade he has spent in China overseeing construction of the CCTV Headquarters. He muses over the delicate balancing act that Western architects maintain when they work in China, simultaneously bringing change to the city and allowing the city to change who they are and how they see the world. In this context, where change is "something that you are immediately and instantly confronted with" he believes that the CCTV Building is "both confrontational and complicit".

The Absent Column: Examining the Prentice Preservation Battle
In light of the extensive demolition that has already taken place at Bertrand Goldberg's Prentice Women's Hospital in downtown Chicago, we present to you this short film that examines the hospital's preservation battle and poses the question, "Who determines the future of the past?"
Bikes vs. Cars
Think traffic is bad now? One billion cars are already on the road today and another billion is expected to join in the coming decade. Pollution and stressful commuting is at an all time high, empowering many politicians and bicycle activists to declare war on the multi-billion dollar car industry which has profoundly impacted city development worldwide.
Bikes vs. Cars is a feature-length, in-progress film that hopes to be part of the global movement by shedding light on the city's car-centric past and bike-friendly future. Learn more and join the cause at the Bikes vs Cars Kickstarter Campaign website.

SOHO China's Zhang Xin on Balancing Design and Commercial Viability
The list of architects that have collaborated with Zhang Xin's development company, SOHO China, reads like the roster of an architectural dream team (which includes Zaha Hadid, Yung Ho Chang, Bjarke Ingels, Kengo Kuma, Kazuyo Sejima, Herzog & de Meuron, Thom Mayne, David Adjaye, Toyo Ito and others). So it's no surprise that the self-made billionaire lectured to a packed house at Harvard University's Graduate School of Design last Thursday. Xin spoke about her commitment to and love of design, explaining that her company's mission is to bring a variety of architectural languages to China. And though SOHO's projects are certainly experimental, Xin contends that her developer mindset actually helps meliorate the architect's propensity to take the experiment too far—all without sacrificing the impressive and iconic forms of SOHO's building portfolio.
Watch Zhang Xin link her practice in real estate to larger global issues and catch a glimpse of two Zaha Hadid-designs currently under construction: Wangjing SOHO and Sky SOHO.
TED Talk: The Walkable City / Jeff Speck
How do we solve the problem of the suburbs? Urbanist Jeff Speck shows how we can free ourselves from dependence on the car – which he calls "a gas-belching, time-wasting, life-threatening prosthetic device" – by making our cities more walkable and more pleasant for more people.
Video: Doris Sung's Living Architecture
Doris Sung, from DO|SU Studio Architecture, has done a really interesting work experimenting with software, building mediums and metals, and nature in her designs. Last year, we published 'Bloom', which was displayed at the Materials and Application Gallery in Los Angeles.

TED: Ingenious Homes in Unexpected Places / Iwan Baan
Iwan Baan's curiosity for the built environment has led him to be one of the world's most preeminent photographers whose skills are in constant demand by architectural elites worldwide. Constantly on the move, Baan has found himself documenting fascinating testaments to human ingenuity. From the informal vertical community of Torre David in Caracas to the floating Niagara slum of Makoko, Baan's encounters with thriving communities in some of the most unexpected places has led him to believe that there is "no such thing as normal" and humans can truly adapt to anything.
Janette Sadik-Khan: NYC's Streets Are Not So Mean Anymore
Janette Sadik-Khan demonstrates how paint, lawn chairs and a bit of imagination can quickly transform city streets, creating immediate public and commercial vitality. Sadik-Khan, listed as one of Business Insider's "50 Women Who Are Changing the World," is responsible for re-purposing 26 acres of dense New York City car lanes into pedestrian-friendly space. "More people on foot is better for business," she says. Despite commanding a two billion dollar budget, her economical approach as commissioner of NYC's Department of Transportation are testaments to her design sensitivity, relying on rapid-testing and regular iteration to expand the city's public domain.
VIDEO: "Affairs in Blue" Mediterraneo House / Manuel Ocaña
Spanish architect Manuel Ocaña has shared with us an innovative video that explores his Mediterraneo House, in Alicante, Spain.
The view was produced by Taller de Casquería; Luis Rodriguez Carnero plays the protagonist.
From the architect. Through travellings, point perspectives, a main character and a plot trick, the film creates a catalogue of experiences that open up a path to describing architectural spaces without conventional cliches, without still photos, and amplifies the importance of the human scale in the communication of architecture.
You can see more of the house here.
Video: Firminy: José Oubrerie / 32BNY and Spirit of Space
32BNY in collaboration with Spirit of Space has released its fifth videopolemic, entitled Firminy: José Oubrerie. In this video José Oubrerie, a French architect and protégé of Le Corbusier, currently teaching at the Knowlton School of Architecture at Ohio State University, remembers his time working for Corbu, working on the Church in Firminy.
32BNY was launched in February 2013 as a website dedicated to the potential of cinematic architectural discourse. Previous videopolemics included Steven Holl and Sanford Kwinter on Lebbeus Woods, Vito Acconci on Art and Architecture, Drawing as Thought, and Existential Sensitivity: Jeffrey Kipnis and Steven Holl. Although 32BNY admit they do not know what the terms 'cinematic architectural discourse', or 'videopolemic' mean, they are undeterred from their exploration. You can find out more about them and their work on their website.

Video: S. R. Crown Hall / Mies van der Rohe
In the year 1940, Armour Institute and Lewis Institute merged in Chicago to create the Illinois Institute of Technology. The merging of these two schools called for a new master plan for the university, and Mies van der Rohe was commissioned for the job. Mies' plan for the IIT campus was one of the largest projects he ever conceived and he developed it for twenty years. Today the campus contains 20 of his works, including the famous Crown Hall.

Behind the Green Door: The Experts Interviews Part I
The Oslo Architecture Triennale opened to the public last week, under the title "Behind the Green Door – Architecture and the desire for sustainability". Rotor, the curators of the Triennale, collected over 600 objects carrying claims of sustainability from over 200 architecture offices, companies and environmental organizations across the world (read our interview with Rotor about the curation).
Experts from different fields share with us which the objects from the collection caught their attention and why. In this first part Kjetil Trædal Thorsen (Snøhetta co-founder), Carolyn Steel (architect, author of The Hungry City and TED speaker), Karl Otto Ellefsen (Dean of Oslo School of Architecture and Design) and Arjen Oosterman (ARCHIS, Volume Magazine) tell us their what they think. From glass technology to filter light, to locally produced food and more.

Architect Ross Langdon Among Those Killed in Nairobi Siege
In his TedxTalk, Australian-born, Tasmanian-raised architect Ross Langdon begins by reading from the book The Rabbits, a children's tale which depicts Australia's colonizers as an invasive, destructive species: rabbits. "I realized I didn't want to be a rabbit any more," Langdon explains. "So I thought it might be better to be like a chameleon, able to adapt and change and blend with our environment, rather than conquer it."
It was this impetus that drove Langdon, who had worked for John McAslan and David Adjaye in London, and even started his own London-based firm, Regional Associates, to Uganda, where he was completing an HIV Center; unfortunately, Landon and his partner, Elif Yavuz, were among the victims killed in the siege of the Westgate Shopping Centre this weekend. According to the Architect's Journal, the "couple had relocated to be closer to Nairobi's hospitals because Yavuz – who worked as a vaccines researcher in Tanzania for the Clinton Foundation – was expecting her baby within two weeks."
To remember Langdon's life and work, we've included the video of his TedxTalk, which closes with the inspiring philosophy behind "chameleon" architecture. In Langdon's words: "We believe that to create architecture that is born of the place, in both developing and developed worlds, that we need to source materials locally, we need to use construction methods that are available locally, wherever possible, to recycle, to upcycle, and to be resourceful, and, most importantly, be present in order to discover beauty in unexpected places."

Jesse James doesn't seem to know when it's time to stop talking. The motorcycle mogul, who infamously cheated on ex-wife Sandra Bullock, continues to talk about his infidelities that led to the demise of his marriage.
Unfortunately, as time goes on, James is beginning to sound less and less remorseful for his actions.
Last week he insensitively told Howard Stern that his new love, Kat Von D, is "100 percent" better in bed than Bullock. Now, in the new issue of Men's Journal, James chalks up his cheating to making some bad choices.
"I never shied away from anything I did. I took full responsibility," says James, 42. "I cheated on my wife. Guess what? So do millions of other men."
"To be honest, it was unfair for me to even be in a relationship," he says. "I sabotaged everything. I was never 100 percent in. I'm self-destructive. I made some seriously f*cked-up choices."
James headed to rehab after the news of his cheating broke, which he says changed him forever.
"I was an animal in a cage. I needed to escape before I cracked up or did something really stupid. I don't know why I went. I just needed help," he says. "I went in thinking, 'All these people in this place? They are really f*cked-up.' I figured out pretty fast I was the f*cked-up one. I realized I was addicted to anger. And it was going to be up to me to straighten my sh*t out."
After the intensive therapy, James was ready to turn over a new leaf. "It was profound, what happened to me in Tucson," he says. "My life kind of started over. I hit the reset button. On everything."
The, he says, Kat appeared and continued to help in his recovery. The pair got engaged in March.
"Back when I was listening every day to some new person say what a f*ck-up I was, I hit the wall. I had a day where I was literally wondering how much more of this I could take. And one person reached out," he recalls. "Guess who that was? Everyone else thought I was toxic. The fact that Kat is willing to be with me now? And get demonized in the tabloids for it? God, I really love her."

Severe Weather Peak Season
Published On: Apr 15 2014 09:30:29 PM CDT
April and May are the most active severe weather months we have during the year; however, the peak of the season doesn't occur until the middle of May. May has the highest tornado potential for eastern Oklahoma and western Arkansas.
So far the start of our severe weather season has been rather quiet. The exception was Sunday's damaging winds and the Peter Pender tornado, which was the first tornado in our area in 2014!
Thankfully this week should be quiet regarding severe weather.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Make Calls Using Facebook
Canadians looking to cut down on the number of cell minutes they use each month might want to look into a new feature included in Facebook's recent update of its messaging app. If you are an Apple/iOS user, this new update gives you the ability to call other Facebook friends using Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technology.
VoIP calls use a device's data plan, not regular cellphone minutes. This new feature, currently only available to Canadian Facebook users, isn't unique. People have been using Skype and, more recently, Google's call from Gmail feature to talk with friends and family without racking up huge phone bills for some time now. One of the big differences is Facebook already has a huge built-in user base. Hopefully they'll roll out the feature for Android and Windows 8 devices after the successful test with Apple phones and tablets.
Download Facebook's Messenger App from the App Store to give the new phone service a try.
Whether you're into mixed martial arts (MMA) or just captivated by well-told stories, Vice magazine's new offshoot, Fightland, will be right up your alley. Like the formerly Montreal-based media empire's other projects that dig deep into the subject matter, Fightland isn't just going to be about the kicks, grappling and knockouts of the controversial and extremely popular sport.
"Mixed martial arts is a world of tacticians, moralists, spiritualists, traditionalists, eccentrics, disciplinarians, innovators, and nerds -- men and women who willingly lock themselves away from the world to master the fine art of fighting the way others master the piano or quantum theory. Fightland tells the story of MMA as it is today: an ever-expanding, ever-evolving culture where athletes sacrifice their blood and bodies in a shared search for something like art."
From a profile of Underground Combat League founder (and fighter) Peter Storm to an examination of the economic, social, even political struggles of Cuban fighters, Vice's visual storytelling and impactful writing seem like an interesting fit for the MMA world.

Individual players may be suffering in the pursuit of the collective good

Martin Crowe : New Zealand cricket isn't worth the risk
Players/Officials: Ross Taylor
Teams: New Zealand
Without a dream to chase, the soul stagnates. Without a dream, individual expression stalls as it looks around for an avenue, a release, a path to go down. Dreams are what move us forward; without them we are stuck. That's what I believe.
As the profound American philosopher Henry David Thoreau said in the 19th century: "Do not lose hold of your dreams or aspirations. For if you do, you may still exist but you have ceased to live."
Over the last decade watching cricket in New Zealand I have noticed a change, a massive shift, in the development of our young men, our cricketing soldiers.
The change occurred with the formation of the players association in 2002. While the intention of better this and better that was the war cry, the reality was that each individual who signed up gave up his ability to grow and to blossom into something unique.
Each man became programmed to the collective cause. Each player fell into line, trusting a new way that promised an abundance of riches and protection from all evils. They asked for more resources and more facilities, and they looked away from the greatest tool of all - their own ability to dream big.
When they signed up, they gave away their freedom to express themselves. Their personal dreams became irrelevant. They were squeezed to one side, crushed by the desire to stick with the programme - the conditions, the clauses, the resources, all under the almighty collective.
What we have seen since in New Zealand's game on the field is a mirrored approach, a cloning of ways, a method of asking for more assistance from outside. We see no one individual looking within and in doing so reaching out to new horizons, new frontiers. Most of all, they aren't inspiring the young to dream big either. New Zealand cricket has ceased to live.
My memories of the men I joined as a young tyro are still fresh. These were players who had individual expression and purpose. They belonged to no one; they were free and secure in the knowledge that playing cricket for New Zealand was a badge of honour. Each knew it wouldn't last too long and that the privilege of wearing the blazer was symbolically borrowed and protected. It was worn with immense pride.
Each had a badge of his own: Bruce Edgar was tenacious, John Wright true grit, Jeremy Coney was theatrical, Jeff Crowe silky smooth, John Reid an artist, Andrew Jones unique, Richard Hadlee a genius, Ian Smith a natural, Warren Lees fatherly, Stephen Boock bold, Evan Gray steely, John Bracewell a bully, Ewen Chatfield honest, Lance Cairns resourceful, and Martin Snedden smart and thoughtful. These were men who stood their ground for good long periods. They fought the fight for their country; they played with their hearts and they believed in their dreams.
During a rich period through the 1980s, New Zealand did not lose a Test series at home for over a decade. We didn't always win but we never gave an inch. It was a bunch of individual spirits joining at the hip to throw off all challengers. This was not a group joined by a document. The blazer was a symbol of manning up.
We weren't a "mafia", as Stephen Fleming likes to refer to us. We weren't dysfunctional either. We were simply living that moment, together. It was unwritten.
Today the collective has killed off that natural right to grow and flourish, to dream and reach out. Ross Taylor is the only one I know who wants to be the best in the world, the best batsman in his nation's history. It's a worthy pursuit. The chances are he will get there one day. Without it he stops living as a cricketer.
Young men need to dream big. They need the chase. They need the pursuit. What they don't need is to sit around a lobby. Set them free. Let them live.

Finding inspiration in London, he studied at Central Saint Martin's for 5 years. Designing his knits by hand on a domestic knitting machine, his work is formed onto the body as he knits. He has devised innovative stitching techniques, blending lycra with the finest luxury wools, inspired by the endless possibilities of lycra yarns and natural fibres together, sculpting areas of tension and areas of volume over the body.

Yesterday I went down to the basement with my 3-year-old, and she watched while I did the first Spring into Shape challenge video. She even did a few "jumping jacks," which can barely be classified as such but were so cute I could hardly stand it.
I have caught a cold and I felt pretty rundown most of the weekend, but I was glad I did those 10 minutes yesterday. She and I also took a 20-minute stroll outside, which isn't really GOOD cardio, but seeing how I'm sick, I think it's good enough. I'm on DayQuil and NyQuil and have my fingers crossed that SHE won't get sick -- she seemed feverish to me this morning.
All in a day's work.
I joined a SP challenge. I think I really need it, because I keep telling myself 'You have to really push yourself/change things to start seeing a noticeable difference," and yet I keep doing the same thing.
The challenge requires daily exercise. Yikes. I've tried that before and failed. But I'm hopeful I can do it with the good guidance provided, and if I fall, just GET BACK UP.
Here's to the Month of May! (eek!)
Over the weekend I was asked "Are you pregnant?"
I am decidedly not pregnant.
I knew I shouldn't have bought that empire-waist dress, but I really think it looks pretty decent. AND I wore my Spanx. Sigh. The woman backpedaled, naturally -- STILL people don't know that you should NEVER ask this of a woman?? I can't believe that -- she said it was because of something I had said, not my figure... but, well. You can't take back words. (And don't get me wrong, this is a lovely person from my church. But still.)
It pisses me off, frankly, that I'm working on it and it doesn't show. The whole episode made me want to throw in the towel. And I did after it happened Saturday night, I ate whatever the hell I wanted Sunday.
I'm trying not to be defeated by this but it's a stinging comment.
Last night I grilled some chicken breasts (with garlic and seasoning salt, super easy) and some veggies - yellow squash and green bell peppers. I filled my plate UP and it was good stuff. Also made yellow saffron rice and reduced fat Crescent rolls (only ate 1!). What a yummy dinner!! Of course my two little ones thought the chicken was too spicy and the veggies "gross," but I'm modeling good behavior. (I got out the ketchup and they ate the chicken and bread, anyway.)
That meal was in stark contrast to my abyssmal snacking binge -- pms related, which is a lame excuse but I'm going with it -- I ate a ton of cookies. (THEY WERE SO GOOD.)
Today has gone better. I finished off the binge (I hope) with a Pop Tart this morning, ugh, and then came to my senses. Lunch was:
La Banderita whole wheat tortilla, 1 slice salami, fresh spinach, cucumber, rolled up sandwich; a Light String Cheese; and half an apple.
I have some hummus and triscuits for later and it's a good thing because I'm still hungry.
During my lunch hour I did a nice 32-minute cardio workout at home (lesley sansone and denise austin - I love them both)! I desperately needed a good workout. I have been consistent with yoga, and it does get the heart pumping, but not as much as a good cardio session. I know I have to UP the cardio a lot if I really want the pounds to come off.
(this is the most boring entry ever! That's why I stopped posting weight-loss stuff at my personal blog, LOL!)
This has happened to me before. A few weeks into a 'health kick,' I start getting really tired of tracking all the food I eat. Even with handy iPhone apps. I'm okay at estimating my calorie intake, but don't feel like I'm SURE unless I enter everything in. On the other hand, I'M SO SICK OF ENTERING EVERYTHING IN.
On Thursday I'll have been here on SP 2 full months.
This is AF week so no weigh-in (I refuse to even bother getting discouraged by it), and stronger than usual unhealthy cravings. Chocolate and salty things. Bleh. Yesterday I didn't workout. It's a busy week at work and for my kids, and my lunch breaks are filled up with necessary errands. I know ONE good workout will help me feel better and get my Spark going again (heh), but I don't know when I'm going to do that. Maybe this afternoon -- Tuesdays I go home early and if my 6-y-o finishes his homework, he usually goes out to play with the neighbor kids. Then I'll have some time.
Just felt like I wanted to whine for a minute. Anyone have "power through it" advice? I'm sure I'll snap out of it.

Having lived in Bend for years, I have never heard of any biking trails up near the observatory. Actually, I have never even gone up there, period.
There must be some trails around there, no? Has anyone really explored the area by bike?
I know someone here biked the 8 mile dirt road to the observatory last winter, but did not mention if there were rideable trails up top.
I'm just looking for ideas.....

(it's fascinating to see the contrast between these three wines as both Butteaux and Forêts are sub-climats of Montmains) An almost invisible touch of wood frames more reserved but fresher green and yellow fruit aromas that also offer up a subtle touch of spice that complements the round and wonderfully intense flavors that ooze that lovely sense of underlying tension as well as plenty of oyster shell character on the citrus-infused and very dry palate staining finish. A wine of power and finesse that should age out to 15 years or so.Drink Dates: 2011+

(tasted from a one-year-old feuillatte Good pale color. Reticent citrus peel nose complemented by a grilled note. Juicy, tight and metallic; this is all cut today yet avoids coming off as hard. Finishes precise and long, with slowly mounting flavors of grapefruit, powdered stone and mint coating the palate. Less showy than the Vaillons, with a tighter grain.Author: Stephen Tanzer

Raveneau's 2006 Chablis Butteaux signals exotic ripeness from the first whiff of pear drops and lychee. Lush, rich fruit follows on the palate, but with chalk, iodine, and wood smoke adding counterpoint and pulling one's attention toward the particularly strong mineral dimension that is inherent in this site. Finishing with real grip, this promises a decade's worth of fascinating evolution.Author: Robert Parker

District Architecture Center (Washington Chapter AIA)
421 7th St. NW
Washington, DC
October 17, 2014
from 8:30 am to 12:30 pm
The Fall 2014 Federal Agency Roundtable, on October 17 from 8:30 AM – 12:30 PM (Eastern), at the District Architecture Center (Washington Chapter AIA), 421 7th St. NW, Washington, DC.
The focus of the roundtable discussion, facilitated by officers of the Association, was "The Benefit of Professional Certifications within Government Contracting."
Over the past several years, many federal agencies and the prime contractors that support them have begun to incorporate requirements for professional certifications into their solicitations for new contract/subcontract opportunities. In addition, some of the same entities have also begun to require that their own employees attain professional certification(s) either as an initial hiring prerequisite or as part of an internal professional development program. The Roundtable offers a forum to hear from those in the government contracting community who have implemented such requirements concerning whether a mandated certification requirement has truly added value, either in terms of improved project/program performance, reduced costs, or some other, more subjective measure. Federal agencies and their contractors who have not yet decided to require professional certifications, either internally or externally, will be able to learn from the experiences from those who have, before deciding whether to implement the practice themselves.
In addition to federal agencies and prime/subcontractors, AACE encourages the participation of other professional associations who offer professional certifications to be represented at this Roundtable discussion, so all will be able to understand the expectations of both elements of the government contracting community as a way to potentially improve their individual certification programs.

Jesus Christ's epic Sermon on the Mount, with its calls for peacemaking, helping the poor and working for justice, could well be compared to a modern political campaign speech in front of the multitudes in a modern stadium.
Now a Gilbert church is launching a Jesus for President campaign and will conduct a two-month effort starting in August - parallel to the U.S. presidential campaign - that emphasizes a familiar issue in the 2008 campaign: change.
"Advocating for Change Since 33 A.D." is the secondary theme of the campaign that Pastor Mark Connelly is launching this weekend at Superstition Springs Community Church at 4450 E. Elliot Road.
Members will be asked to put "Jesus for President" signs in their yards and wear buttons with the same appeal. And like all candidates, it will be promoted by a Web site, www.anewplatform.com.
"In the midst of political chaos and social inequality, Jesus ran a platform where people did not just lobby for change; they became change," say the organizers of the campaign, which will be launched Aug. 9 and conclude Oct. 5.
Connelly isn't saying who might have filled Jesus' Cabinet almost 2,000 years ago - perhaps Peter as vice president, Paul as secretary of state and Judas Iscariot as the treasury secretary.
Connelly says he is capitalizing on the buzz of this year's national presidential campaign by driving home the message that people should not look to politicians to remedy problems and "produce change for us."
"Things don't seem to be changing all that much depending on who is in office," Connelly said. "What if Jesus were running for president? What would be the platform that he would be running on?"
The pastor said Christ's platform can be best summed up in the Gospel of Matthew, Chapters 5 and 6.
They are the heavily quoted biblical passages of the talk Jesus gave on a mountainside, beginning with the eight "beatitudes" - "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven ..."
The Sermon on the Mount has been called the "Charter of Christianity."
While planning a late summer sermon series, the church's staff looked to a book, "Jesus for President: Politics for Ordinary Radicals" by Shane Claiborne and Chris Haw, which targets Christian skeptics and calls for them to immerse themselves in the world's struggles to transform the planet as well as themselves.
"While we are not necessarily following what the book is about, we were inspired to take that direction," said Brian Kaufman, the church's communications director.
Sermons for four weekend services spread across nine weeks discuss new kinds of "issues, peacemaking, purity and righteousness."
Superstition Springs Community Church, founded in 1995, puts a heavy emphasis on social justice issues, Kaufman said.
One target is sex trafficking in Arizona, Fiji and Africa.
"Ending human trafficking is one of our biggest ministries," Connelly said.
They work to rescue teens, especially girls, from sex trades, then settle them in safe environments, he said.
One project includes developing a 43-acre village for girls in Fiji. Another center in either India or Jamaica is being explored.
Moreover, the church, which draws about 2,000 worshipers each weekend, has adopted an African village with 900 children who are AIDS orphans.
"We provide food, water, schools, community centers and shelters for these kids - and give them a second chance," Connelly said. Ministries also include supporting transitional housing for the Valley's homeless women and children.
The Jesus for President campaign, Connelly said, will stress that "we have to politically embody those changes and become the changes that we desire to see in our communities and our nation."
Lasting change, he said, "emerges from the hearts of the people who have been transformed, rather than just seeking people to legislate for us."
