Author, LJ Sellers presents "The Sex Club" at Bookwagon, 3/17/12 6pm
At the Bookwagon, Saturday March 17, 2012 6pm
LJ Sellers printed The Sex Club in 2007. It was a controversial thriller that opened with the bombing of a birth control clinic, a young woman dead in a dumpster and, as Sellers says, a Bible study group that shared more than Good News. Who knew that Sellers' first quiet effort would be followed by a series so successful that she can now write full time.

February 1 – 26, 2012 by Robert Penn Warren
Based on the Pulitzer Prize winning novel. Set in Louisiana in the 1930's, this powerful play examines the life of opportunist Willie Stark, a character based on Governor Huey Long, one of America's most extraordinary politicians. The smart and manipulative Willie Stark is elected governor with the support of the lower social classes, tough-talking assistant Sadie Burke, newspaper reporter Jack Burden, Jack's elegant fiancée Anne and her idealistic brother Dr. Adam Stanton.

CHICAGO -- Shockingly, the Bears are favored to win Sunday, which in and of itself should have the St. Louis Rams and everyone associated with the 1-10 team in an even deeper state of despair than they had to have been already.
How, after all, does one have any confidence in a team that has looked the way the Bears have since the bye week eight weeks ago (which, incidentally, should prompt some forensic testing, seeing as that was when the 2009 season expired)?
The Bears are poised to make changes, which is supposed to encourage us. Of course, we won't know for sure until kickoff Sunday; coach Lovie Smith employing some cagey coaching strategy by not disclosing the big Chris Williams' move from right to left tackle despite the fact that Jay Cutler, Ron Turner, Chris Williams and the guy at the guard shack have openly discussed it.
Word is also that Kevin Payne will be replacing perhaps the best athlete on the team in Danieal Manning at free safety in hopes that Steven Jackson will gain less than 300 yards against the Bears' defense.
Payne, you may recall, started the season at free safety (replacing preseason starter Craig Steltz), but was demoted after being torched on Aaron Rodgers' game-winning 50-yard touchdown pass to Greg Jennings in the season opener at Green Bay. Manning, who should have started against Green Bay but had multiple hamstring injuries, was then burned on Donovan McNabb's 48-yard pass touchdown to DeSean Jackson against Philadelphia two weeks ago, so now we're back to Payne.
Kevin Shaffer will replace Chris Williams (who replaces Orlando Pace) at right tackle, and Jamar Williams is expected to start in place of the injured Lance Briggs.
There has been some general clamoring among the media and public alike, that somehow the Bears are hiding some more superstar young talent that could be getting valuable experience these last five games of the season.
Sad and hopeless as that sentiment is, you wouldn't mind seeing rookie defensive tackle Jarron Gilbert, who has been glimpsed less than someone in the Witness Protection Program. And considering that defensive end Gaines Adams cost the Bears a second-round pick, it might be nice if he did a little something. Maybe give Kahlil Bell, who is averaging 20.3 yards per carry after one for 72 yards two weeks ago, a couple of carries. And if Devin Aromashodu doesn't get in for a few plays, Cutler might snap.
"Like I've said so many times, he's a different type of receiver, he's a different match-up out there, a little bit bigger guy, still has range on the deep balls," Cutler said of Aromashodu. "You can do some different stuff. You can throw the ball up, you can give him some back shoulder balls, get him down the seam, down the alleys. I'd love to see him out there but those other three guys haven't done anything wrong for them to lose their spots."
Johnny Knox has done very little wrong, but he has caught only three more passes in the last three games than Aromashodu. Then again, the offense has been on the field so infrequently lately, it's not like there has been a lot to go around.
As for the others like Gilbert, you have to figure coaches have seen enough of him in practice not to trust him yet with the big boys.
"Just play your best 11, that's my theory," said Charles Tillman, who seems to be recovered enough from his minor concussion to start Sunday.
"I saw a bright flash [of light]," Tillman said in describing what a concussion feels like, causing skeptics in the crowd to wonder if he was seeing the Bears' afterlife.
As for the best 11 theory, it's Smith's as well. But the Bears' best 11 have, if anyone has noticed, not been very good lately.
"Nothing against the young guys, but I'm not into playing for next year," said tight end Desmond Clark. "For selfish reasons, next year might not happen for me. Next year might not happen for a few of these guys, so it's all about playing for this year and we'll worry about next year, next year."
You can't blame Clark, who has caught only 11 passes all year in a reserve role, and missed four games because of injury. But Brown sees the bigger picture.
"You've got to see guys at some time," he said. "You have to see what you have with live bullets. You have to see what you have with a game on the line, not just preseason or OTAs or something like that. You have to see how they react in a real game. So if coach Smith and Mr. Angelo decide that's what they want to do, that's fine, that's what we go with, we'll see what they can do. We're going to need them to help sooner rather than later."
Unfortunately, it's too late for sooner. But it's never too soon for later.

Win in "Best Deployment and Case Studies" Category Highlights Columbia Manufacturing Achievements Via Utilization of SYSPRO ERP
SAN FRANCISCO - October 10, 2013 - SYSPRO, a provider of best-of-breed, award-winning enterprise resource planning (ERP) software for on-premise and cloud-based utilization, announced today that the company was presented a bronze Golden Bridge Award in the category "Best Deployment and Case Studies." The case study describes the significant costs savings and environmental impact reductions that Columbia Manufacturing continues to realize from the deployment of SYSPRO ERP.
Ali Salehi, Sr. Vice President at the Westfield, Massachusetts–based Columbia Manufacturing, a leading manufacturer of furniture for schools, notes that the company has been utilizing SYSPRO ERP software since 2004, based upon the recommendation of a search committee tasked with seeking a replacement to the company's incumbent, outdated ERP system. "We found SYSPRO to be the most adaptive to the nature of our business and unsurpassed for flexibility, ease of use and training," he says, noting the ways in which SYSPRO ERP has enabled the company to cut waste while reducing impact on the environment:
"SYSPRO data contributed to our plating operation's water usage reduction -- from 150,000 gallons per day to 3,000 gallons per day -- also reducing chrome usage by 93% and nickel purchases by 75%." Columbia's environmental safeguards, he notes, also include the recycling of all waste steel, corrugation, wood and trash.
The following is a list of Columbia's environmental achievements, many of which were facilitated utilizing SYSPRO ERP software:
- Elimination of 100% of all V.O.C.'s with a painting operation that is 100% powder coating.
- Reduction of water usage from 150,000 gallons/day to 3,000 gallons/day.
- Using 100% recycled wood flour in hard plastic seats, backs and tops.
- Using up to 25% recycled post industrial products in soft plastic components.
- Recycling 100% of excess wood products and pallets.
- Recycling 100% cardboard and paper products.
- Recycling 100% of scrap steel.
- Recycled wood and paper products are converted to fuel cell cubes replacing coal in power generator plants.

Lovely room and a great pub.
Very friendly, comfortable and surprisingly quiet given it was part of a pub.
Breakfast was lovely, as was the Chinese dinner we had on the Saturday.
Parking is a pain but other than that the only downsides were very trivial - a slightly dodgy wardrobe door and a hot tap that turns the wrong way (just confusing first thing!). For us it was particularly lovely that the room was not too hot as we often find hotel rooms sweltering.

Lovely hotel!
This is a lovely hotel which we would definitely recommend staying in.
It doesn't have many rooms so there was really intimate feel to our stay. Our room was very clean and had very comfy beds for both adults and our children. The breakfast was delicious and given a special twist by the fact that we sat in the bar to eat it.

We were visiting the area for a wedding and came across The Star Inn on Laterooms.
We were welcomed by the manager, John, and we were shown our room which we were very happy with. The pub itself was a fine establishment and the staff were pleasant and helpful when ordering a cab for us. Overall we did not spend an awful amount of time in the hotel but I would be happy recommend it and Ringwood itself was a lovely day to potter around the following day. Be sure to try the Boston Tea Party House for breakfast.

Just right
We have stayed in the family room twice in the last few months.
It has plenty or room and everything you need for a pleasant stay. Staff are as friendly and helpful as you want them to be. Breakfast is excellent and although we've not eaten an evening meal here plenty of local people do. The pub itself is also lovely. The only issue is parking but it's an inconvenience not a major difficulty and when this pub was built they didin't need car parks. Being right in the centre of town is actually a bonus in many ways and, despite that, there is very little noise at night.

weekend break
My room was in the annexe across a tiny courtyard.
The first night was somewhat disturbed by what I think was refrigeration equipment cutting in and out at frequent intervals. A quick mention at breakfast the following day had me moved without having to add any further comment. Second room quiet. Both were very clean and decently furnished in typical current modern style. A good breakfast and just the right amount, cooked to order so no solid overdone eggs or the like. Excellent sausages and good bacon (and I should know as I used to buy both for a FTSE 100 retailer). I'd be happy to stay there again.

Alexis Bellino Leaving Real Housewives of Orange County
Alexis Bellino is saying goodbye to Bravo and the Real Housewives of Orange County.
After three seasons on the reality hit, mom of three Bellino has decided to part ways with the program, a source tells Us Weekly.
PHOTOS: Before they were Real Housewives
"Alexis was really tired of being bullied and chose home and family life over celebrity," the insider explains of Bellino's decision to stop filming. Though she is said to have begun contract negotiations with Bravo, the former Housewife "wanted to go back to her simple life in Orange County."
In July, Alexis, 35, and her husband, Jim Bellino, spoke out about the verbal bullying and attacks they say they suffered from costar Tamra Barney, who called Alexis "Jesus Jugs" during the 2012 Real Housewives of Orange County reunion special.
PHOTOS: Real Housewives' biggest fights ever
"The Real Housewives of Orange County is a reality show that is meant to entertain and engage audiences with the lives of its cast members," the couple told Us Weekly in a statement, adding that they were considering taking legal action against Barney. "This vicious and malicious attack on our family will no longer be tolerated. We have continually tried to take the high road, however, if necessary, we are prepared to defend ourselves against these unfounded, slanderous and defamatory remarks to the fullest extent of the law."
PHOTOS: Catty Housewives moments

Architectural Humanities Research Association Student Conference
9th AHRA Research Student Conference 19-20 May 2012 Aberdeen
New Urban Conditions are transforming the way we perceive urban issues and recognise new research strands. Shifting socio-economic and political conditions and the urban production and consumption patterns stipulate new-fangled ideologies in the production of Built Environment (architecture; landscape; public realm; planning schemes and so on) and hence the methods and ideologies that engross in producing these built environments warrant a renewed thinking process. Urban managers (architects and allied professionals) largely require renaissance in thinking processes for preparing themselves to countenance the improbability of the new and emerging urban conditions.
9th AHRA Conference is expected to give delegates (architects, planners, urban designers, construction sector professionals, and all allied professionals), especially the research students, a platform to share and understand the emerging fundamentals of research methods; urban issues and findings; and overall a conduit for student delegates to establish collaborations and stir polemical debates in order to allow them to re-position themselves to look at the cities and architecture differently.

Oceanside bans smoking at sidewalk cafes
OCEANSIDE After a contentious debate Wednesday night, the Oceanside City Council tentatively approved a watered-down ban on smoking at outdoor eateries, limiting the restriction to restaurant space on public sidewalks, not private property.
The original version of the ordinance would have banned smoking at all restaurant patios or outdoor cafes, and within 25 feet of such establishments, and would have required businesses to post "no smoking" signs at those spots.
Solana Beach, Carlsbad, Del Mar, National City, Chula Vista and El Cajon have similar bans, and the Vista City Council is set to discuss its own proposal Tuesday.
Heading into Wednesday's meeting, Oceanside's measure looked likely to pass, with only Councilman Jerry Kern openly opposing it.
But not far into the discussion, Councilmen Jack Feller and Gary Felien appeared swayed by Kern's argument that the ordinance would infringe on business owners' right to offer patios for smoking patrons and to hold special events such as cigar parties.
Feller said he would only support a smoking ban on patios that are on public sidewalks. Felien said he wanted to make the sign requirement only voluntary.
Councilwoman Esther Sanchez, who proposed the ban last month, said she would be willing to compromise on some things — such as excluding private events — but not on the sign requirement.
As the discussion went on, Mayor Jim Wood repeatedly asked for a vote, to no avail. He then called for a "long recess" and left the meeting. He briefly returned only to give the gavel to Kern.
When the meeting resumed, the council voted 3-1, with Sanchez opposed and Wood absent, to modify the ordinance to apply only to eateries on public sidewalks or streets — not on private property — and within 10 feet of the establishment.
Do you agree with banning smoking at outdoor eateries?
Yes 72% (242)
No 28% (92)
334 total votes.
The "no smoking" signs would be required.
Sanchez told the audience that the people who supported the original ordinance, including anti-tobacco and cancer awareness organizations, did not support the changes.
"This is not what the public wants," Sanchez said.
Oceanside resident Andrea Portenier agreed.
"This allows the abuse of people with respiratory disabilities," Portenier said after the vote.
Sara Black, owner of the Red Rooster Bar & Grill in Oceanside, said she was glad the changes were made because the patio in her bar is within her property and not on the public sidewalk.
The modified ordinance will return to the City Council for a final vote but no date was specified.

I only recently came to know Andrew Orlando. He stopped by our studio to drop off a drawn Doodle Addict Postcard and with him was a bright green tote bag. When I looked inside, dozens of faces stared back at me. I immediately lit up, the bag was filled with toilet paper rolls that he covered with bright and bold colors of paint and marker. Eyes, teeth, scribbled hair and so many expressions formed these comical characters. Over 30 rolls in hand and he told me he had tons more back home, I believe he said his goal was to reach one-thousand.

I just found this video on Vimeo (haha, that rhymed!) by Brainbow and enjoyed it immensely. It's three short hand-drawn 1,600 frame animation composed into one. It's very simply drawn, which I absolutely love, partially colored in with highlighters.
The first video '5 4 3 2...' is a series of continuous Hollywood explosions edited into a simple beat. The second, "Galleria" is a cut from Terminator 2. And the third, which is my favorite (and starts at 2:25), is an original gangsta rap with lyrics provided by the Governator himself and arranged by Harry McGowan.
Get your headphones on. Enjoy the pops of color, fun sound effects and some of Arnold's infamous lines.

Garrett Miller does it again. First he rocked us with Imaginawesome (where he turned kid doodles into complete illustrations) and now he's invented a whole new form of doodling; where dry erase markers meet windows.
They are funny, they interact with their (often) scenic backgrounds and best of all, they are quick, improvised and temporary. The perfect definition of doodling.
My favorites are below, but you really should visit Windoodles to see the growing collection (he's even taking submissions).

I know sketchbooks, I obsess over them. And every once in a while I run into one that deserves its insides to be printed, framed and put in front of your eyes. Every single spread in José Azevado's sketchbook is colored and drawn with such intensity, it's as if his markers and pens are on steroids, two Red Bulls, and one delicious Cherry Starburst for good measure.

I never met someone who can draw so fast, so fine and so funny at the same time. He is probably right now in his lair, drawing some new warriors for his final battle against the forces of the unknown. I believe that Ninja Tiger is one of those people who are born to draw. With one black marker he manages to make the surface of the plane and simple white paper so rich and playful. He can draw in simple black and white, and still make you feel like all the other colors are present too. Enjoy!

Confucius called them the "king of fragrant plants," and John Ruskin condemned them as "prurient apparitions." Across the centuries, orchids have captivated us with their elaborate exoticism, their powerful perfumes, and their sublime seductiveness.
But the disquieting beauty of orchids is an unplanned marvel of evolution, and the story of orchids is as captivating as any novel.
As acclaimed writers Michael Pollan and National Geographic photographer Christian Ziegler spin tales of orchid conquest in "Deceptive Beauties: The World of Wild Orchids," we learn how these flowers can survive and thrive in the harshest of environments, from tropical cloud forests to the Arctic, from semi-deserts to rocky mountainsides; how their shapes, colors, and scents are, as Darwin put it, "beautiful contrivances" meant to dupe pollinating male insects in the strangest ways. What other flowers, after all, can mimic the pheromones and even appearance of female insects, so much so that some male bees prefer sex with the orchids over sex with their own kind?
And insects aren't the only ones to fall for the orchids' charms. Since the "orchidelirium" of the Victorian era, humans have braved the wilds to search them out and devoted copious amounts of time and money propagating and hybridizing, nurturing and simply gazing at them. [Text continues after photos.]

The Bucket Orchid: The intricately designed flower of this variety effectively functions as a bee trap: As a male bee tries to collect the flower's scent, it slips down the inner walls of the blossom, eventually ending up in the sticky liquid at the bottom of the "bucket." Unable to fly with wet wings, the bee tries to crawl up the inner wall. The only area with traction leads right to the entrance of a narrow tunnel. As the bee squeezes through the far end, pollinium are attached to its back, which, when inadvertently delivered by the bee to another bucket orchid, will complete the process of pollination.

Excerpt from the book, "Deceptive Beauties: The World of Wild Orchids":
As a young naturalist growing up in southwest Germany, I was enthralled by orchids. To me, they were wondrous, exotic, and rare. When I roamed the early summer hills in search of wildlife and plants, spotting an orchid was always a particular thrill. I had learned where to look for them from a neighbor who was very botanically inclined. He knew the exact places along roadways where little patches of orchids flourished, despite the fact that they had no business being there. He guessed that they had arrived at their particular spot when the road was being built and a bit of limestone soil containing orchid seeds had found its way into the road margins. Since many of these terrestrial orchids need limestone, I would also look for them in sward -- sparse, poor meadowland that drains well. Orchids, I soon realized, had flowers that didn't look like other flowers, and various species of these lovely, delicate works of nature could thrive in almost any environment, from rocky barren sward to shady wetlands.
I clearly remember a college field trip to a rolling grassland not far from my university. We had come at exactly the right week in late May and found a good dozen species of pink orchids of the genus Orchis in the south-facing sward. Then we walked up the meadow toward the vast Palatinate Forest, which runs all the way to the border with France, and there in the half-shade of the beeches along the forest edge were the delicate orchids called little white forest birds. Going deeper into the Palatinate, we found swamp orchids by a creek and in dark patches of woodland, brown orchids with none of the chlorophyll that gives most plants their greenness. This variety, called the bird's-nest orchid, lives off the nutrients it receives from a symbiotic fungus.
No other plant family held quite the same fascination for me as orchids did, maybe because of their relative rareness in northern Europe and certainly because of their unusual appearance -- their delicate shapes and configuration, the deep spurs that hide their nectar. They weren't structured like any other flowers, and they seemed somehow special in a mysterious way.
As the radius of my wanderings expanded, I had the opportunity to see some amazing orchid habitats across Europe. On a backpacking trip into the Swiss Alps I saw orchids in abundance for the first time. I was astonished at the profusion of their blooms across the high mountain meadows, their pink spikes glowing amid dozens of other summer flowers and all of it backdropped by snow-capped peaks. It was breathtaking. There were at least a dozen species in those meadows, including the pyramid orchid that Charles Darwin had studied and written about. An orchid enthusiast himself, Darwin gathered wild orchids near his home in Kent and propagated them. In fact, orchids inspired some of his most critical thinking on natural selection. In his book "The Various Contrivances by Which Orchids Are Fertilised by Insects," he explains the co-evolution of insects and orchids and calls them "amongst the most singular and most modified forms in the vegetable kingdom."
I shared Darwin's enthusiasm for these "singular" creatures, and on hikes I took into the Pyrenees, southern Italy, and Greece, I discovered a whole new realm of orchid species that I had not seen before. Some of them were oddly shaped, mimicking bees and other insects, while others grew to amazing sizes and had a sweet, honeyed scent.
In graduate school, on botanical research expeditions in the tropics of Asia, Africa, and Panama, I began to realize how narrow the European range of orchids was. Tropical orchids seemed nothing like the ground-based European varieties I had known. Almost all orchid species in the warm rain forests lived as epiphytes, growing from other plants, often high up in the canopy. The shapes, colors, and, in many cases, the scents, were out of this world. Their diversity seemed endless; hardly ever would I find two individuals of the same species.
My experience with orchids mirrors the global patterns of orchid distribution. While temperate areas tend to have fewer species and predominantly terrestrial ones, tropical orchids are much more diverse and most are epiphytic. Central Europe has about 250 species of orchids, yet Panama, barely one-tenth the size, has more than 1,300 known species, with many newly discovered ones being reported every year.
That's typical of the difference between tropical and temperate places worldwide, and the explanation for this lies deep in the Earth's past, in its geology and weather patterns.

Trying to save money? 15 foods you don't need to buy organic
By Brierley Wright, M.S., R.D., March 2, 2010 - 10:45am
Brierley asks: Do you buy organic? What foods do you think it's worth to save on and which do you spend more on for organic?
Alot of Veg's and Fruits can just be washed off well and be safe enough. As Fruits and Veg's. are

I eat organic as much as possible. I am a little concerned about these lists. On another list watermelon was on the list of highly contaminated by pesticide. So, you may be getting the same nutrients, but with more toxins.

I agree with your list. I would add banannas to the conventional list. I Always buy organic greens and any fruits that won't be peeled before eating. Due to controversy regarding bagged lettuce products, I no longer use them. Marguerite Krenek, Houston, TX

i sometimes buy organic.... celery, lettuces, carrots...depending on availablity and cost. however, since i once worked on a farm in the apple orchard, i will ALWAYS but organic apples. saw too much "poison" being applied. i would love to be able to buy everything organic, so i'm trying to plant my own garden too. thanks for the lists. la

I dont usually buy organic cause before I was dating my boyfriend, I didn't have the budget, but now I don't because I don't understand what all the fuss is about. Its a victory for me to just get to the STORE let alone snoop around for the food grown in "humanely treated soil" : ) I joke, but I still just don't get it.

This list is great if you're strictly concerned with your own health, but if you also want to protect the planet and the people who are growing your food, organic is the best choice. (Did you know that workers on Costa Rican banana plantations have very high rates of testicular cancer and the ground below the trees is completely bare because nothing can grow there?)
That said, I can't afford to buy everything organic, but I buy as much locally- and sustainably- grown produce, dairy and meat as I can.
Thanks for the post!

It turns out that I do not have cancer of the nose and I won't need a disfiguring operation. Nor have been so drunk that I cannot recall walking nose first into a door.
After suffering a strangely sore and slightly swollen nose for a couple of days in silence, I mentioned it to my in house Doctor R and he diagnosed a pimple on the inside of my nose. As he is unqualified, I asked him how he knew and he has had one too.
I concurred with his diagnosis but also added that it could be an ingrown hair on the inside of my nose.
Whatever. After five days the nose is now back to normal and once again I can tilt my head back and disdainfully sniff at one and all.

All the Beautiful Democrats
Sure, Heath Shuler, the Democrat challenger to Rep. Charles Taylor, R-N.C., may be pretty cute:
Research has shown that if candidates invest a little effort in their looks, the payoff can be huge. Campaign consultants hover around candidates, ordering them to change their hairstyles, get in shape and update their wardrobes.But don't forget this:
Politicians today, said (George Washington University political science professor Lee) Sigelman, strive for "the personality and looks of talk show hosts." The goal is to be "well turned out."Careful, certain folks on Capitol Hill might get horny at that thought.

A Beacon on a Path to Fame
By JULIE V. IOVINE
Published: December 26, 2002
LONDON— AT the opening of a Mies van der Rohe exhibition this month in the fashionably bleak Whitechapel neighborhood, David Adjaye stood out in a regulation black suit made dashing with a scarlet turtleneck. He appeared all the more conspicuous by focusing on the displayed works rather than on the design crowd in circulation.
His attention to the master's early villas was interrupted, however, by a stream of well-wishers: Sir Stuart Lipton, England's new buildings commissioner, pumped hands, intimating that big projects were in store. ''Great!'' Mr. Adjaye said, beating him to the punch line.''Give me a tower to do.'' Then, a leading architecture critic made a beeline for Mr. Adjaye, petitioning to visit his latest house. ''I'll take you on Thursday,'' Mr. Adjaye offered. When his cellphone rang, it was his father calling to say what he wanted for Christmas.
Mr. Adjaye, 36, is clearly in demand. In less than 10 years, he has gone from working out of his bedroom on shoestring jobs for struggling artists to a full-scale office, Adjaye Associates, with 30 employees. ''His star has absolutely risen,'' said Alice Rawsthorn, director of London's Design Museum. ''There's a spirit and brio to his houses, but it's not just that they are elegant. There's a happiness and lightness that make them a real pleasure to be in.''
In September Mr. Adjaye was among the youngest architects to exhibit work at the eighth International Architecture Biennale in Venice, and surely one of the nimblest.
Dapper as any Prada-clad design personage but with the open mien of a boy next door, Mr. Adjaye, who was born in Tanzania and has lived in London since he was 10, was hired by the BBC to be host of a program demystifying the Biennale's vast assortment of architectural drawings and models.
For Mr. Adjaye, it was a day in the park. ''I got to spend an hour with all the great architects asking them anything I ever wanted to know,'' he said. And what did this crash course in design celebrity teach him? ''Find your territory and mark it really quickly,'' he said with disarming ease. (Mr. Adjaye is preparing a six-part series for the BBC on contemporary architecture.)
Mr. Adjaye's meteoric rise has been spurred by exquisite timing. Several early clients were unknown artists when he met them, but have since gone on to fame. (His clients include Chris Ofili, whose Madonna with elephant dung put the sensory alert in the ''Sensation'' show at the Brooklyn Museum of Art in 1999.) Similarly, Alexander McQueen, the fashion designer, and Ewan McGregor, the actor, were on the verge when Mr. Adjaye worked for them. Their own successes assured that his work would be published in fashion magazines like British Vogue and British Elle, as well as design magazines like Domus.
At a time when many young architects seem to embrace the radical for its own sake, Mr. Adjaye favors blatantly simple spaces that feel as if they have been shaped by the wisdom of the ages. He taps into the sun-loving soul of clammy London to make houses that suggest a warmer, brighter climate. His ''light chimneys,'' as he calls them, are as high as two stories and carefully positioned to manipulate light, washing it down in great swaths or casting it in precise bright squares, a trick, he said, he learned in North Africa.
Mr. Adjaye, the son of a Ghanaian diplomat, moved frequently around Africa and the Middle East as a child, living in Cairo, Beirut and Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. In the process, he came to admire (and internalize) the time-tested building traditions of ancient civilizations, especially the labyrinthine volumes and strong geometries of medieval quarters in Egypt.
Mr. Adjaye's family moved to London in 1979 after his father retired to care for Mr. Adjaye's ailing younger brother. The move allowed Mr. Adjaye to attend the Royal Academy of Art. ''I never wanted to be an artist, but I wasn't interested in architectural theory either,'' Mr. Adjaye said. He was drawn to how things are built. After school, he spent a year in Japan studying 17th century temples.
''You could look at his work in terms of a kind of globalism,'' said Thelma Golden, chief curator of the Studio Museum in Harlem and a close friend, ''but his work is refreshingly gimmick-free. Nor is he a minimalist in the reductive sense. There's something very essential but also world-embracing and generous about his work.''
In Mr. Adjaye's hands, even cheap off-the-shelf materials are treated with reverence. Poured concrete softens the borders between inside and outside, and the lowest marine-grade plywood, precisely detailed, bestows dignity and substance.
Artists in the United States are beginning to take notice as well. Last fall, Ms. Golden took the New York artist James Casebere to a lecture Mr. Adjaye delivered at the Harvard Graduate School of Design. On the spot Mr. Casebere asked Mr. Adjaye to turn his dilapidated upstate New York farm into a weekend compound. ''He treats light as if it were a primary material,'' Mr. Casebere said. ''I liked the idea of working with an architect who got his start with artists. Think of Frank Gehry. David has the same spirit of experimentation.''

Re: champions league is the dumbest thing everCakes_ Dec 4, 2012 9:44 PM (in response to Caboose1988)
Well said. By the way, the reason you got matched up with higher divisions is the fact that only 2,000 people play Champions at all times. Most people get put in platinum after placement games.
Re: champions league is the dumbest thing everNoLifeKing23 Dec 4, 2012 10:06 PM (in response to Caboose1988)
The fact is, far fewer people are playing League Play than Treyarch desired/anticipated. People's perception seems to be you need a full party of 6 friends to do well, so they stay away. Meanwhile, HC gets the shaft.
Re: champions league is the dumbest thing everpipebombman Dec 4, 2012 10:31 PM (in response to Caboose1988)
yea as it was said the numbers are far lower than expected. it is a shame because it really is fun. I wish more people played it.
I really want to see it stay around. You get to go up against good people in high rankings top 10 plat and top 25 masters.
It really is something fun for the competitive players.
If you want to find a group play good against or with another group you play against.
Re: champions league is the dumbest thing everACII Dec 4, 2012 10:41 PM (in response to Caboose1988)
League play is stupid and confusing. It's says "solo play" on the damn list as part of the description and then you play vs teams. WHY DOES IT SAY SOLO PLAY? Why put that there? What sense does that make? Solo play implies a solo que or mercenary.
I don't even like playing with friends because the game seems to always lag harder
Re: champions league is the dumbest thing everCaboose1988 Dec 5, 2012 10:30 AM (in response to ACII)
yes it does lag alot but thats pretty much any part of the game it seems.... this is the only game ive ever played were i lag out a couple times a day
Re: champions league is the dumbest thing everxsmokex20 Dec 5, 2012 10:36 AM (in response to Caboose1988)
As stated, the problem lies with the population of the playlists. Until more people play, the games aren't really going to be matched on skill.
What they need to do at this point is up the ante on XP earned in League. Make it something ridiculous like +7500 for wins and +1500 - 2000 for losses. Give people an incentive to try it out. Then once more people play, lower it back down. Most people just want to level at this point and League isn't a good place to do it.
Re: champions league is the dumbest thing everRun_N_Gunning_Camper Dec 5, 2012 10:48 AM (in response to Caboose1988)
League is a complete flop. Just take a look at it at this moment. There are only 3040 people playing on it out of 276,000 people.
I would rather have Treyarch remove it and add more game modes on Hardcore. Unfortunately, I don't think Treyarch will do that as doing that is like admitting that they were wrong. They thought that people wants to be MLG players.
Re: champions league is the dumbest thing everCaboose1988 Dec 5, 2012 11:02 AM (in response to Run_N_Gunning_Camper)
well if thats what they were hoping for they were wrong you cant hope to bring more mlg players into a puplic environment were everyone is gunna be on at a lower skill lvl. it wont be balanced and competitive so therefore the game will get boring and no one will play.
Re: champions league is the dumbest thing everSuspectsamich Dec 5, 2012 11:20 AM (in response to Caboose1988)
I dont usually have this sort of problem, but it does happen from time to time and it can be very irritating. But even though they are in platinum, doesnt necessarily mean that they are of higher skill, they might have just been put on good teams that always win. Because League games is where you play to win, not play for kills(excluding teamdeathmatch, and kill confirmed). I am at Platinum rank solo, and gold team rank and have been beaten by a team full of individual players(random people, not an actual coordinated group) who are ranked silver and below.
Re: champions league is the dumbest thing everUSDA_Blade Dec 5, 2012 11:25 AM (in response to Suspectsamich)
I also feel like the league was a good idea and can go places if the right changes are made. However, its getting really old having the other 3 people on my team quit while playing solo and have to play 1v4. And the worst thing is, taking losses and losing points when the other teams host dashboards. If you dont pull host, you are at the hosts mercy weather you win or lose the game cause they can just dashboard with 1m left in the game and all 7 other people get losses aswell and lose points. I hope they find some way to fix it cause I JUST GOT PROBATION WHEN THE OTHER TEAMS HOST QUIT. Seems fair that I have to wait to play when someone on the other team quits. Thanks Treyarch.
Re: champions league is the dumbest thing everSheSaidNo Dec 5, 2012 11:22 AM (in response to Caboose1988)
Not to mention the 10-15 minute wait times to get into a match.
I see it dying a slow death unless they change something soon.
Re: champions league is the dumbest thing everCaboose1988 Dec 5, 2012 11:30 AM (in response to SheSaidNo)
ya thats cuz no one plays it. part of that may be becuase of the small amount of exp you get. so a boost of that would be nice as well
Re: champions league is the dumbest thing everNubdub Dec 5, 2012 11:32 AM (in response to Caboose1988)
As long as the lag compensation is not balanced, league play will never pick up. The kind of player that wants to play in league play is the same one that spends the money for a quality internet connection and we all know what low ping means in this game. Unless something is done about the faulty lag compensation, league is doomed.
Re: champions league is the dumbest thing everCaboose1988 Dec 5, 2012 11:44 AM (in response to Nubdub)
hopefully the lag thing is something that they are working on. it could just be a phase that alot of new games go through were the servers just get beat up from the mass swarm of players just getting the game. one thing they should do though is only allow ppl with a good connection to play in the champion league. or do something that ive seen in some halo games were you get the option to only play against other with a good connection

Team RushCon huddles for a work session the night before the convention.
The Mixer is always a great place to catch up with old friends and meet new ones. We split into groups for the trivia games. Team Presto went up against Team Roll the Bones who went up against Team Rush, etc. The lyric pictogram game, titled "Gaze at Their Feverish Pictures", was quite a fun challenge. We ended the evening playing RushCon Against Humanity, a cheeky RushCon version of Cards Against Humanity.
We were in a new venue this year, The Great Hall. We loved the warmth and style of the place, which we put to good use in our Carnies-inspired decorations. The Rush album banners were a big hit…more about them later.
RushCon Staff ready the registration desk.
Greeting our early birds.
We were thrilled to present four Guest Speakers this year, covering Rushs entire history and giving us a variety of viewpoints into the music industry. Howard, Tony, Martin, and Kevin were all so approachable and fun.
Howard Ungerleider kicked off with insights into his early years with Rush before seguing into development of the lighting design that amazes the fans at the concerts. He proceeded to surprise us with an amazing laser demonstration, set to YYZ.

Tony Jack Secret Geranios joined Howard during his question-and-answer session before giving a photo and story presentation of his own. It was wonderful to see pictures and hear stories about the bands early recording sessions. .
Kristy welcomes guest to our first event, The Mixer at Massey Hall
Martin Popoff spoke of the band Max Webster, and their connections with Rush, capped off with playing a recording of the energetic Max Webster and Rush song, Battle Scar.
Words of the Profits is a popular game that is always good for laughs and challenging for our players! This year, we pitted three teams against each other: Jeremy & Chris, Angela & Sean and Kane & Mindy. Long-time attendees, Jeremy and Chris, triumphed and won drum heads signed by all three members of Rush!
"Some days were dark
I wish that I could live it all again
Some nights were bright
I wish that I could live it all again"
We are always so grateful for the continuing support from Anthem Records.
Very special thanks to this years support staff, Nancy and Brian and Dubs
Max, Todd, and Rodney for their heroic efforts year after year.

Paulie Beaulieu and The Canadian Music Scene

And from the bottom of our hearts, thanks to all our attendees. We look forward to seeing you each and every year. You make doing this so special and rewarding for us.
And of course, none of this magic would be possible without the tireless effort of Team RushCon. Jillian, Eddy Maxwell, Kristy Williams, Holly Smith and Mary Jo Plews. Thank you all!
