Fifteen Years After Cathedral of Hope Intro'd Its Phillip Johnson Chapel, A First Look
Perhaps you vaguely recall the press conference during which architect Phillip Johnson stood with Michael Piazza to announce his plans to build upon the Cathedral of Hope grounds a so-called Interfaith Peace Chapel -- which Johnson called "the finest job I've ever had in my life. ... a big civic statement, a big emotional statement." If you've forgotten, you're forgiven -- that was in 1996, nine years before his death.
For years the Interfaith Peace Chapel was something mentioned in passing -- the great incomplete Johnson commission that went "unbuilt because of a lack of funds." But in recent years, it was resurrected -- and today we received a press release announcing the chapel is close to completion. Says the note from the Cathedral of Hope: "The structure, originally conceptualized in the late 1990's as the architect's final commission, is scheduled to be completed in November of 2010." As proof, we were sent three
photosrenderings -- which means, you got it, two more follow.
Update: In the comments, John Wright of the Dallas Voice notes: "This is not the 2,000-seat Phillip Johnson chapel. This is another much smaller building, the Interfaith Peace Chapel." And, indeed, this is, as the Voice noted earlier this year, "part of a larger design by architect Philip Johnson that was his major project before his death at age 98 in 2005."

Collins Complete Guide to British Mushrooms & Toadstools ISBN 978-0-00-723224-6,
This review is from: Collins Complete British Mushrooms and Toadstools: The essential photograph guide to Britain's fungi (Collins Complete Guides) (Paperback)
The coverage of the book is much wider than that of other mushroom pocket identification guides. Yes, the 1,500 photographs is a typical number but that is where it ends.
Before continuing, I must say that this account is personal and idiosyncratic, based on many years of using an increasing personal library of mushroom books and accumulated field experience, although the latter is still very amateur. I have not gone back to my other books to check my impressions but so many features of this book are unique to it that such an omission is of, at most, little consequence.
At the beginning of the book there is a page of colour photos illustrating cap shape and cap texture and others on gills and stem shapes and ringshapes and attachement, all diagnostic characters.
There are 7 pages of Main Fungal Genera and Groups, each with colour photo(s) and a paragraph of text. (Other books may have some sort of summary but I find this more comprehensive and user-friendly).
Towards the back of the book there is a section on Clubs, Corals and allies, better than in any other book, as are the ones on Stinkhorns and Cage Fungi, Bracket Fungi, Toothed Fungi, Earthtongues, Discos, Jellydish Fungi and Earthcups.
There is a useful section on Ruts, Smuts and Mildews.
Slime Moulds (14 illustrations) are a welcome intruder here. However, I have tried locating "moulds", "slime moulds" and "Myxomycetes" but they are absent from both the Contents and the Index. The species illustrated are listed in the Index so, if you know your slime mould genera, you are in with a chance. (They are on pages 334 & 335). In my opinion, not only should the Index have suitable terms added but the Contents should give more detail.
For the connoisseur there is a section on Dung Fungi and another on Burnt Ground Fungi.
Further specialist sections cover fungi of Oak Woods, Beech Woods, conifer woods, etc. Others cover bogs, marshes, grassland.
Lichens (4 pages) also have their section.
Finally, trees being specifically associated with various fungus species, there are four pages of trees and shrub bark, foliage and fruits photos which are not given comprehensively in popular guides to trees.
If you want one book on fungi this is the one, unless you want to know more about edibility or poisonous hazards of the species, which is not covered in this book.

Sony Alpha A77 pics leaked?
Pictures of the new Sony Alpha A77 have turned up over on the message boards of imaging site dyxum.
They show a camera with a 24 megapixel sensor capable of shooting 1080p video. There is also a rumoured double Bionz image processor and translucent mirror for ultra speedy autofocus.
It looks like Sony is using the A77 as its attempt to enter into the SLR video big time, with the high number of pixels and proper Full HD footage rivalling the spec sheet of the reigning Canon 5D Mk II.
The camera's body looks very similar to that of a Canon except with a Nikon style multi-directional pad to the right of the screen.
As of now we have no release date or further specs on the yet to be announced Sony camera.
UPDATE: Sony A77 hands-on

Ken Loach's Turin Fest Snub Inspires New Documentary
"Dear Mr. Ken Loach" will tell the story of the British auter's decision not to accept the festival's lifetime achievement prize in protest of worker conditions.
ROME -- British auteur Ken Loach earned headlines across Italy and beyond last year when he turned down the Turin Film Festival's lifetime achievement award in solidarity with workers at Turin's National Film Museum, the festival's parent organization. A new documentary will tell all about it.
Dear Mr. Ken Loach, directed by Rossella Lamina and Nicola Di Lecce, will recount how the filmmaker found out about the plight of the workers and the fallout from his controversial decision not to attend the festival. The film's title comes from the start of the letter from fired museum worker Federico Altieri, who wrote Loach to alert him to the alleged problems.
Loach's last-minute withdrawal, which also included pulling a scheduled screening of his comedy The Angels' Share, which would have been the film's Italian premiere, sparked criticism from the festival, the city government and fellow Turin career award honoree Ettore Scola and resulted in a threatened lawsuit from festival backers.
Altieri and other workers alleged they had been downsized or had their pay slashed after the museum outsourced their security and maintenance jobs to an employment agency. For its part, the festival and museum management said the allegations were overblown and that Loach had been misinformed.
The controversy did not seem to have a negative impact on the Turin Film Festival, which turned out to be the only one among Italy's largest fests to see ticket sales rise in 2012 despite the country's moribund economic growth.
The 2013 edition of the festival, its 31st, is set for Nov. 22-30. It will be the first edition under the artistic direction of Italian comedy director Paolo Virzi, who replaced Gianni Amelio, whose mandate expired.

Disordered Eating in the Land of Denial
Having an eating disorder in Nigeria is really to struggle in silence. Bulimia is after all, not a disease of the stomach, but of the mind, and Nigerians are none too kind to people with mental disorders.
Having an eating disorder in Nigeria is really to struggle in silence. Bulimia is after all, not a disease of the stomach, but of the mind, and Nigerians are none too kind to people with mental disorders.
So many people get all bent out of shape about the number of people we have sex with, but does anyone care about the why?
Instead of going away, she broke into an angry whine.

Seriously? Is this girl for real?
If you missed all the fun from the #NigeriansAtHogwarts trend, here are my personal favourites.
I'm a huge language nerd, and one of my biggest regrets is losing the Yoruba I learned a child living in Lagos, so I'm super excited about an app that lets me show off a little to my Yoruba friends.
In France, your friend is whom you went to school with.
In Brazil, your friend is whomever is welcome to go into your house when you're not home, and raid your refrigerator.
As a Nigerian, who is a friend to you?
Goodbye 25! Hello 26! Holy shit, I'm actually an adult now. Today is my Baiday! Eeeya! Eeeya! O!
If my seventeen year old self could see me now, she'd be very surprised. This isn't how I imagined being twenty-five would be at all. I really believed that by twenty-five I would be a full-fledged adult with my life thoroughly together, probably even married, and with a baby on the way.
Somehow that hasn't happened yet, and in a few hours, I will be six years into my twenties without a fucking clue what I am doing or where I am going with my life.
Drawing a friend, Nigerian God Echecrates
Nigeria is 54! Happy Kpomo, Suya, Jollof, and Pepper Soup Day!
Everyone always imagines death attended by panic.
The realisation that you're going to die, the horror, the fear, the sheer panic.
All I could feel while dying, was annoyed.

Crew goalkeeper William Hesmer out for six months
Apr 13, 2012, 5:35 PM EDT
These are hard times around Crew Stadium.
Less than a week ago Columbus capitulated at home to New York, stinking up the place with a weak effort that no one hopes to see repeated at Crew Stadium any time soon. And now this …
Friday the club announced its steady goalkeeper, William Hesmer, has undergone a hip procedure that will keep the veteran out for six months, which means most of this season. The club also announced surgery performed on Tommy Heinemann's left knee, which puts the young striker out for 9-12 months.
The news on Hesmer is particularly concerning, although it's not exactly devastating. As I noted just yesterday on this very blog site, Columbus' goalkeeping situation is (well "was") among the league's best thanks to rock-solid backup Andy Gruenebaum. So this won't necessarily be crushing to the Crew's playoff ambitions.
It does, however, remove the cover. If something happens to Gruenebaum the Crew will be scrambling to piece together its goalkeeping scene.
Hesmer, 30, owns most goalkeeping marks around Crew Stadium, including career records in games played (130), wins (59), shutouts (41) and saves (412).

From: San Antonio, TX
Region: Southwest
Topic: Non-Natives, Compost and Mulch, Pests, Shrubs
Title: Failure to bloom of lantanas in San Antonio
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:Mr. Smarty Plants, We have lantanas in our front yard. This summer the leaves have turned white and they die to a brown color all the while the leaves are "crispy". At the beginning of the season they had beautiful flowers, now there is not a bloom to be found after dead-heading the plants What is going on?
It is always tough to answer questions about lantanas; there are four that are native to Texas: Lantana achyranthifolia (brushland shrubverbena), Lantana urticoides (West Indian shrubverbena), Lantana velutina (velvet shrubverbena) and Lantana canescens (hammock shrubverbena). The showiest of these is Lantana urticoides (West Indian shrubverbena) and the one most likely for you to purchase if you could find it. However, the lantana is basically a sub-tropical, and it is more likely the tropical non-native Lantana camara (from Floridata) or one of its many, many hybrids. This is a tropical, and has been hybridized for many colors, sizes and bloom times. Because there are so many different selections or cultivars of this species, often several combined into one plant, that we have no way of knowing special characteristics that might contribute to the problems you are having.
The Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center is dedicated to the growth, protection and propagation of plants native not only to North America but to the area in which they are being grown, which takes Lantana camara out of the range of our expertise. However, we can say that there must be some sort of disease, insect or cultural problem to cause the plant to stop blooming. Ordinarily, after the last Winter we had, we would guess that a cold snap had caused the leaf problem, but since it began the season blooming, we must look a little further.
We found one website (Emily Compost) that said:
"Lantanas are generally not bothered by most insects or diseases, but be on the lookout for whitefly and spider mite.
If you think you have mites and other insects rinse off with a solution of soapy water. Something like Dawn or Ivory from the kitchen sink. 2 tbs in a gallon of water. In the early morning, spray and then rinse with regular water from the hose. Do not do in the middle of the day. Water droplets will magnify and burn the leaves."
Here is our description of the most frequent pests to bother lantanas:
Aphids: these will definitely cause leaf curl, and the honeydew they excrete begins as a whitish area, although it can develop a black fungus that will change the color and is really ugly. University of California Integrated Pest Management Aphids.
Spider mites: the spider mite is a member of the Arachnid (spider) family and has web-spinning abilities. Again, from the UC IPM program Spider Mites.
Mealy bugs: these individual bugs can also have a cottony appearance, and you can find some easy control methods in this eHow site How to Control Mealybugs.
That leaves us only Growing Conditions for possible reasons for your problem. Again, all we have in our Native Plant Database that we can use as an example is Lantana urticoides (West Indian shrubverbena).
"Growing Conditions
Water Use: Low
Light Requirement: Sun
Soil Moisture: Dry
Heat Tolerant: yes
Soil Description: Poor, well-drained soils.
Conditions Comments: Lantana provides summer color. In winter, some gardeners prune back lantana to keep the plants from getting too large. The stems become thorny especially with age, so caution is necessary when cutting them back. The blue-black fruit clusters are poisonous. Used as a low to medium, flowering ground cover for dry, exposed, poor sites. Crinkly leaves give off a sharp aroma when touched and they can cause a skin rash. Mature plants tend to form large mounds that may be separated into smaller plants in the winter."
Since there are so many things we do not know about your plant, the best we can suggest is that you first determine if the plant is alive, which apparently it is as you are getting new leaves. Don't fertilize and don't over-water. If you feel any of the insects we mentioned are the cause, treat accordingly. In the Fall, trim the plant back nearly to the ground and see what happens when Spring comes.

This hotel has excellent staff and facilities. Conveniently located for jogging. Restaurant and bar has excellent food. The bartenders are excellent and fun to talk to after a busy day. Also, there is a Panera Bread right next to the hotel.
Review collected in partnership with Hilton Garden Inn
It was a nice hotel and the price was very attractive. The receptionists were very kind. The only thing I did not enjoy was the swimming pool as it requires some renovations. Good shadow though. I would definetly return. The price was very convinient for us.
The hotel employees were great. Everyone was very friendly. The rooms were clean and everything was above expectations. We were there to attend a wedding. Everything was set up by their wedding advisers, and it went smoothly. Everyone went out of their way to make sure everyone was having a great time.
Driving to Miami from Chapel Hill is a long, fatiguing journey. We were looking forward to a restful evening before continuing on. The staff went out of their way to be helpful and provide information to local beaches/restaurants. The accommodations were spotless and not once did I smell a musty, hotel smell. Breakfast was hot and delivered right to the table. We'll certainly stay there again when we journey south.
Our check in began in a room with a broken sink and shower door. We were checked into a different room after a 20 minute wait. After staying one night we noticed bug bites all over our bodies. After visiting doctors we got confirmation, we had been attacked by bed bugs. The hotel has yet to fix this and did not believe that we had received the bites from their hotel. Horrible service, find another hotel!
The rate was great. Lots of amenities. Comfortable room junior suite. Close to town center and Flagler beach. Enjoyed the fireworks at the pier. Panera bread right next door. Movie theatre close and shopping yet little traffic
This was an unexpected stay for our family. My husband got ill during our car trip and we had to check him into the hospital. The staff was very friendly and helpful in making sure we had what we needed. The rooms were very nice and comfortable.

It's My Room and I'll Paint It If I Want To
Let your teen have a new look to their room with a can of paint (or two).
Inexpensive and dramatic. Two words that describe paint — and the cost and impact required in most teen room makeovers. And best of all, you can always paint again next year when new inspiration (or maturity) strikes.
Here, paint and color expert Aimee Desrosiers of California Paints shares three ideas for using paint to add punch to a teen's room:
- For a big-whammy effect without redoing the entire room, paint a bold band of color using a laser level and painter's tape. Run bands horizontally around the entire room, vertically on a wall or on both the wall and ceiling.
- Give juvenile furniture a little attitude adjustment with a cool paint job. Paint handles and knobs a different color for contrast. Paint makers now provide small sample jars of paints, which are perfect for this kind of detail work.
- When a wild color scheme is out of the question, perhaps because of a squeamish parent or because the teen's room can be seen from other rooms in the house, why not paint three walls with a tame color, reserving the wall that houses the room's door for creative expression? The end result: Teens have the color they want without intruding on adult decor.

Charles Williams of kurbtblast on

Difference are with capacity (gpm) and number of passes for adequate millage.
Giuseppe Santagata of NACE Certif. Coat. Insp. level III # 2737 on
October 9, 2012:
Plural component requires very expensive equipment, but it is fast with good production, and saves a lot of paint material, etc. This equipment needs a professional operator, especially to be sure to obtain the correct mix ratio at the tip. Airless is 100% fast with very high production, but in some circumstances you have also 80% of paint loss if not set properly (pressure tip size and angle) and you need professional sprayers. The air spray or conventional spray is slow, produces a lot of dry/overspray, but has the possibility to work better in some difficul areas, as well as the possibility to clean the surface to be coated immediately before spraying by using the air in the gun.
Jerry Trevino of Protective Liner Systems on
October 21, 2012:
Plural component pumps are very effective in spraying and applying 100% solid materials and are more productive than (hot potting) airless pumps. Conventional air spaying will not pump high solids, thick coatings. In the case of 50% to 60% solid materials, airless (hot potting) may be more efficient. Conventional spraying may be more efficient in applying thin, one to three mils of a top coat for uv protection or for an aesthetic coat over thicker coats of paint on the structural steel. All three types of spraying have their pro's and con's. Plural component spray systems have a high risk of being off ratio. Temperature adjustments may have to be made to attempt to equalize the viscosity of both components. In some cases, for instance, you must heat one of the two components more than the other. Fast-setting materials may only be sprayed with plural systems. The size of the project, location, overspray considerations, target paint thickness, and type of coating used are factors that have to be considered in selecting the type of spraying to be used.
Jay Barstow of Aeroflor Coating Services on
October 16, 2012:
Definitely, single-component airless hot potting a low-viscosity, solventless resin for DFT/sec/SF application. It's a function of viscosity and heat. I have shot over 3 GPM from single King airless for hours at a time on large flooring projects. Heat, especially in plural component, affects viscosity and flow, but because of internal mixing, the effective pressure, and thus flow rate, is lost.
Daniel Liu of APC on
February 6, 2013:
Plural component equipment is very expensive, but easy for operation during coating application once the mixing ratio is set. Especially for those materials that include more than two parts, it can be faster and safer. Airless spray equipment is the most common equipment used on site. For materials with high volume solids and higher total thickness sprayed on large areas, airless spray will be required, as it is faster and more convenient. Since the liquid is pressured without air, there is less chance of air entrapment in the coating film, which is very common in the shipbuilding coating field. Air spray is normally used in the field where the thickness is mainly less than 100 microns. The coating material is atomized with pressured air, then blown out together with air to the substrate. The air pressure is not strong enough to convey high solids materials, so air spray is normally used with very low solids and low viscosity coatings.

Thankfully he doesn't just lick at them and play with them. He makes sure to go for the titty fuck as well, working his dick in and out of those boobies.

George 'Dubya' Bush writes his version of history with launch of presidential library
The former president makes a comeback – but is America ready to reconsider his legacy?
Rupert Cornwell
Known for his commentary on international relations and US politics, Rupert Cornwell also contributes obituaries and occasionally even a column for the sports pages. With The Independent since its launch in 1986, he was the paper's first Moscow correspondent - covering the collapse of the Soviet Union – during which time he won two British Press Awards. Previously a foreign correspondent for the Financial Times and Reuters, he has also been a diplomatic correspondent, leader writer and columnist, and has served as Washington bureau editor. In 1983 he published God's Banker, about Roberto Calvi, the Italian banker found hanging from Blackfriars Bridge.
Tuesday 23 April 2013
Not long ago he divided Americans as few others have, but since leaving office he has all but vanished from view. On Thursday, however, George W Bush takes his first steps on what might even be the road to rehabilitation, with a mini-blitz of television interviews and the dedication of his presidential library in Texas.
The ceremony to launch the $250m library, built on the grounds of Southern Methodist University in Dallas – his wife Laura's alma mater – will be a rare reunion of arguably the world's most exclusive club of living US presidents and former presidents, linked by a common experience that transcends party affiliation.
All five members will be present: Barack Obama, Bush father and son, Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter. So too will Tony Blair, whose unswerving support of the US during the Iraq war saw detractors dub him "Bush's Poodle".
Above all, however, the occasion marks the younger Bush's re-emergence from the shadows. Most presidents maintain a low profile immediately after leaving office, if only to avoid muddying the waters for their successor. But the avoidance of the limelight by "43" has been near-total.
True, he did publish a virtually obligatory presidential memoir in 2010, entitled Decision Points. He now gives some 60 or 70 speeches a year, aides say. But these lucrative appearances, usually to sympathetic conservative or business audiences, have been off the record. He was considered so politically toxic by his party that he did not appear in person at the last two Republican nominating conventions.
Instead he has lived quietly in Dallas and at his Texas ranch, appearing in public only at the game of baseball's Texas Rangers, of whom he was once managing partner, and – it recently emerged – dedicating himself to the contemplative hobby of painting. For a man known for impatience and fidgetiness, it is an improbable pastime.
All this, however, is about to change, as the George W Bush Presidential Library and Museum opens its doors, the 13th of the official such libraries under the aegis of the federal government, covering administrations dating back to Herbert Hoover. In fact Mr Bush's is not just a museum and a library of his papers for scholars to consult, but a public policy centre too, in the shape of the George W Bush Institute, whose aims include promoting economic growth, education reform and freedom around the world.
The kick-off includes major network TV interviews by Mr Bush, some jointly with his wife, and a session with Parade, the biggest circulation magazine in the US with a claimed readership of 60 million. In it, Mr Bush was asked about a possible candidacy by his brother Jeb, and whether the country was ready for another Bush in the White House.
"That's for Jeb to figure out," he answered with trademark directness. "I would hope that people would judge [him]... on his merits and his track record... I hope he will run."
Presidents tend to be looked on more kindly by history than during their time in office, and "43" is already no exception. A new Washington Post/ABC News poll puts his approval rating at 47 per cent, well up on the 33 per cent when he left Washington.
What's in the library…
The dinners The library contains records of state events, including menus and papers from leaders' visits to the White House and the Bush ranch in Crawford, Texas. Of the Blairs' first trip in April 2002, Laura writes: "That spring, Cherie Blair got her wish, a visit to our ranch in Crawford. After dinner, Tony Blair borrowed a guitar and strummed and sang along with the San Antonio band Daddy Rabbit. During the day, we braved the pouring rain to drive across the rugged grounds in George's pick-up."
The disaster One of the biggest individual items on display in the 14,000 sq ft museum is a section of the rusted, twisted structure of the World Trade Centre, pictured right. The museum also contains the megaphone the President used to address rescuers when he visited Ground Zero on 14 September, with which he pledged that voices calling for justice from across America would be heard.
The disputed election One of the more controversial exhibits is a hanging chad, one of the partially spoilt ballot papers from the 2000 presidential election, pictured top right. The vote in Florida was so tight that disputed ballot papers, particularly those where the voter had not quite perforated the paper correctly, suddenly became hugely significant. The US Supreme Court handed Bush the keys to the White House after stopping a recount of votes, thereby securing his victory in the electoral college.
The decisions Criticised for his decision-making in office, a recent poll suggests America is now looking more favourably on the Bush legacy. An interactive exhibit allows visitors to put themselves in the President's shoes, using the advice he was given to decide whether to invade Iraq, deploy federal forces to New Orleans after Katrina, and bail out Wall Street or let the banks fail.
… and what isn't
The book There is plenty of poignant memorabilia from September 11, 2001, but no copy of The Pet Goat, the book being read to a class of children at the Emma E Booker school in Sarasota County, Florida, when Mr Bush was told of the attacks on the Twin Towers.
The paintings Mr Bush has become an avid painter since he left office and has a fondness for depicting dogs. Despite praise from his art teacher, none of his work will be on show in Dallas.
The cigars Laura Bush admits that her husband, like Barack Obama during his first term, was a smoker at the White House, preferring cigars to Mr Obama's cigarettes. Again like Mr Obama, Mr Bush has reportedly given up.
The WMD evidence The Iraq section of the museum states that "no stockpiles of WMD were found", along with the rejoinder: "Post-invasion inspections confirmed that Saddam Hussein had the capacity to resume production."
