Not because I hate myself or I'm rested, but because I have a burning dream.<br /><br />You see, I've found that dreams aren't made on sandy beaches with your feet up drinking a cold Diet Coke. That might be where they are first thought about, but it isn't where they are made.<br /><br />I've accomplished more dreams since I started setting my alarm clock for 5 am than before. Dreams are made out of work. They are made out of early mornings and late nights.<br /><br />Five am is particularly attractive to me (and sometimes 4 am if on a deadline.) They are attractive because they are guilt free. I have no one who needs my attention and more importantly, there is no one who feels ignored or untended to. If I have to work all day and let my family know ahead of time, there's not usually struggle there.<br /><br />So, I'm up writing again on a Saturday morning when lots of people are sleeping. This will be my second book. I did this on <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0132610353/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=0132610353&linkCode=as2&tag=httpwwwbrighc-20" id="static_txt_preview" style="background-color: white; color: #996633; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; text-align: center;" target="_blank">Flattening Classrooms, Engaging Minds: Move to Global Collaboration One Step at a Time</a> and I'm sure I'll do it again.<br /><br />Lots of dreams mean lots of work, but like a good delicious watermelon, you can only bite one small piece at a time.<br /><br /><h2><b>The 3 keys to reaching your dreams</b>:</h2><br /><ol><li><b>FOCUS. </b>Pursue one at a time</li><li><b>ENLIST SUPPORT. </b>Make sure your inner family circle is supporting and with you (don't ignore them)</li><li><b>WORK. </b>Make a plan for when you'll work on it every week so that motion is always forward</li></ol><div>If you struggle with your family being "in on" your dream - there are ways to work with that. It also doesn't mean ALL of your family. For me, my inner circle is my husband: 1 person. The person you live with should be 'in on" or at least respect that your dream is happening because it takes the sacrifice of everyone in the house to help dreams happen. For me, no dream is worth losing my family. </div><div><br /></div><div>I add also a fourth and <b>PRAY </b>over it - which for me, as a Christian, is vital. The dreams I pursue must be aligned with my personal values or the inner conflict will sabotage any forward motion.</div><div><br /></div><div>Got a dream? Get started.</div><br />  <div class="zemanta-pixie" style="height: 15px; margin-top: 10px;"><a class="zemanta-pixie-a" href="http://www.zemanta.com/?px" title="Enhanced by Zemanta"><img alt="Enhanced by Zemanta" class="zemanta-pixie-img" src="http://img.zemanta.com/zemified_c.png?x-id=f51371de-efa4-4ec7-9b43-31ec9324a5eb" style="border: none; float: right;" /></a></div>

Glazing Over Maki

7:00 AM Tukiyooo 0

Over at <i>Architectural Record</i>, <a href="http://archrecord.construction.com/news/2013/05/130501-Commentary-Glazing-Over-New-York.asp">Fred Bernstein laments</a> how New York City is "permitting continuous walls of glass to erase the city’s history and  leave its citizens with little to reflect on but reflections." The example he uses to describe this phenomenon, "where relentless repetition of glass facades leads to a numbing sameness," is <a href="http://www.maki-and-associates.co.jp/details/index_pic.html?pcd=120">Fumihiko Maki's office building</a> nearing completion at 51 Astor Place.<br /><br />I was in the area the other day and decided to snap some pictures of the building. Here is a view looking from the west, where the building reflects <a href="http://departmentstoremuseum.blogspot.com/2010/06/john-wanamaker-new-york.html">Daniel Burnham's Wanamaker department store</a>:<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/archidose/8723011673/" title="51 Astor Place by archidose, on Flickr"><img alt="51 Astor Place" height="516" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7384/8723011673_6bc1f924a9_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><br /><br />I have not really studied the design of Maki's building, and I'll admit I did not fall in love with the early  renderings of it, but I don't think it's the best (or would that be  worst?) example of what Bernstein is criticizing. The faceted  massing and variety of glass and framing types push the building a notch  above most glass-wrapped buildings in the city. If anything, it's a glass building made even glassier by its small trapezoidal site, which lets it be seen prominently from at least three sides, and by the adjacency of the old stone buildings of Wanamaker's and Cooper Union's <a href="http://cooper.edu/about/history/foundation-building-great-hall">Foundation Building</a>—the latter is visible on the left side in this view looking north up Third Avenue:<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/archidose/8723011295/" title="51 Astor Place by archidose, on Flickr"><img alt="51 Astor Place" height="575" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7380/8723011295_6ed04e9b33_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><br /><br />In these views from the south and east (above and below), the double-sided nature of Maki's design comes across. On the west, where it reflects Burnham's 1905 building, 51 Astor Place appears to be a glass slab, akin to a small-scaled Miesian office building. But on the east it reads as three masses: the tallest black slab, a truncated triangular section in the middle, and a four-story base that fills just about the whole block, minus a plaza on the southeast corner (the massing can be seen best in <a href="http://www.worldarchitecturenews.com/index.php?fuseaction=wanappln.showprojectbigimages&img=2&pro_id=2044">this model view</a>). This sculpting of the glass building is fairly diagrammatic, but it's made better by the articulation of the exterior wall—the diagonal change from dark, butt-glazed panels to lighter glass with vertical fins gives the impression that the middle section of the building peels away from the taller slab. I'll grant that this is a visual conceit, but it's one that somehow manages to work well.<br /><br />Here is a view looking from the east, with Charles Gwathmey's earlier glassy "<a href="http://www.gwathmey-siegel.com/portfolio/proj_detail.php?job_id=200204">Sculpture for Living</a>" in the background:<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/archidose/8724132288/" title="51 Astor Place by archidose, on Flickr"><img alt="51 Astor Place" height="480" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7454/8724132288_067a9a6541_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><br /><br />Where I disagree with Bernstein is the fact he lumps so much scorn on Maki's building but goes pretty easy on Gwathmey's earlier building—its undulating wall is seen in the middle of the photo below, a view looking north on Lafayette toward 51 Astor Place. If there is one notable glass building in New York City since 2000 that I cannot stand, it is Gwathmey's tripartite tower. The clunky tower does the same things as Maki's tower (reflecting/refracting its surroundings, breaking up the mass, using different types of glass and framing), but in a much less elegant way. The faceted curves that make up the portion of the tower above the two-story base is one of my least favorite anywhere. Maki's building has a much bigger footprint than the Sculpture for Living, but I'd argue that the later building works better with the neighborhood, in terms of massing and articulation of glass, than the earlier one.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/archidose/8724132634/" title="51 Astor Place by archidose, on Flickr"><img alt="51 Astor Place" height="410" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7373/8724132634_fff6d41851_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><br /><br />In terms of Bernstein's general argument—glass as the default wrapper for new buildings needs to be reconsidered—I'm in agreement. It's something I've actually <a href="http://archidose.blogspot.com/2006/05/glass-is-new-painted-concrete.html">talked about in the past</a>, though to me the issue is about the design and articulation of glass walls as much as their prevalence. If all glass walls were given the care of 51 Astor Place (the area above the entry on Lafayette is seen below), or a building like 7WTC (not 1WTC, which is bland in comparison), then the "glazing over of New York" would not be so objectionable.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/archidose/8723011547/" title="51 Astor Place by archidose, on Flickr"><img alt="51 Astor Place" height="480" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7338/8723011547_e7132b7a0b_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><br /><br />One example Bernstein uses that I am in total agreement with is <a href="http://3columbus.slgreen.com/">3 Columbus Circle</a>, a 1928 that was <a href="http://nyc-architecture.com/?p=1047">literally glazed over</a> with what the developers call a "New Glass Sleek Façade" to create a new image for a building that occupies a similarly small and trapezoidal site (but in a more vertically crowded context) to 51 Astor Place. If, as Bernstein says, "it takes both old and new, working in concert, to keep a city from becoming a suburban office park," then arguing to maintain the historical qualities of buildings like 3 Columbus Circle makes more sense than decrying 51 Astor Place's attempts at fitting into its context.

happy mother's day

3:00 AM Anonymous 0

In honor of the holiday that should be celebrated every month (in my opinion), I thought I'd take a moment to say a big Happy Mother's Day to my mom, Jan. I owe every inch of my design sensibility to her, she taught me everything I know. I could tell you the difference between Biedermeier and Baroque by the time I was 10 and I was picking out estate jewelry before I could talk. And thanks to her I've toured every old home on the eastern seaboard and been to 46 state capitals. She is a great teacher and friend and there is no one I would rather go shopping with.<br /><br />Basically what I'm saying is this...<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihaQ85DvIkqt-45y8JVxGHuZ_4CI6JwSvxZXzknILGONhRiI6fqIgISoxwE1Xdz1YicI8tf4BLCwToD5lE8dmP4jqRRHqUWtTQIc9_pY-WgptXfo_6TySiHQHwP3cZdaKNijkRsHyG6pfj/s1600/e8d988d2b69962e7e37abf4aa5a3eb86.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihaQ85DvIkqt-45y8JVxGHuZ_4CI6JwSvxZXzknILGONhRiI6fqIgISoxwE1Xdz1YicI8tf4BLCwToD5lE8dmP4jqRRHqUWtTQIc9_pY-WgptXfo_6TySiHQHwP3cZdaKNijkRsHyG6pfj/s400/e8d988d2b69962e7e37abf4aa5a3eb86.jpg" width="380" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/267260559107147715/" target="_blank">source</a></td></tr></tbody></table><br />And for something only she will understand - this is as close to a card as you will ever get. xoxo<br /><br /><br />And speaking of moms, don't forget to check out the <a href="http://blog.simplybabyfurniture.com/2013/05/09/blogpartyweek4/" target="_blank">Simply Baby Spring Blog Party</a> today.

<ul class="diigo-linkroll">      <li>      <p class="diigo-link">                <a href="http://stemwire.org/2013/04/01/at-stem-centered-high-school-test-scores-rise-to-the-top/">At STEM Early College High School, students earn top test grades | STEMwire</a>      </p>      <p class="diigo-description">I'm recording another episode of "Every Classroom matters" interviewing some of the teachers and organizers in the Chicago Early STEM college movement. As I researched for this show, I found this report out of North Carolina reporting an increase in test scores. A county here in Georgia is also implementing Early college stem as well. STEM is something every school needs (listen to the earlier show I recorded w/ Kevin Jarrett) but this is an interesting approach.  "Just two years after it opened, a North Carolina high school has found that teaching students the principles of STEM can boost test scores and keep learners engaged. That’s prompting the school to ask, “If we can do it, why can’t other schools do it, too?”  The school has a mouthful of a name: the Wake NC State University STEM Early College High School. It has attracted many students to its Raleigh campus – first generation-college students, minorities, and students from poor backgrounds – who are underrepresented in STEM fields. But in 2012, students did far better than average on the state’s standardized exams, with more than 95 percent passing."</p>              <p class="diigo-tags">          <span>tags:</span>                      <a href="https://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/education">education</a>            <a href="https://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/news">news</a>            <a href="https://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/stem">stem</a>            <a href="https://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/college">college</a></p>                                        </li>      <li>      <p class="diigo-link">                <a href="http://choose2matter.org/quest2matter-join">Quest2Matter - What It Is & How to Join - Choose 2 Matter</a>      </p>      <p class="diigo-description">Help your kids submit their idea and work to Quest to matter. This is a great way to showcase what your students are doing. It will also open up opportunities for mentoring. If you know a kid who is doing something cool to change the world - SUBMIT IT. The end date is June 7th. Why not have your class create a quest to matter. If you haven't had a chance to do a genius project or some creative teacherpreneurship with passion projects - USE THIS opportunity. My friend Angela Maiers had this idea and many have joined in (like me) to help create a website showcasing and promoting all the great work that students are doing as social entrepreneurs to change the world. There will be a winning project that is showcased and mentored. </p>              <p class="diigo-tags">          <span>tags:</span>                      <a href="https://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/education">education</a>            <a href="https://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/news">news</a>            <a href="https://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/quest2matter">quest2matter</a>            <a href="https://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/choose2matter">choose2matter</a>            <a href="https://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/passionbasedlearning">passionbasedlearning</a>            <a href="https://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/passion">passion</a>            <a href="https://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/google20%">google20%</a>            <a href="https://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/all_teachers">all_teachers</a>            <a href="https://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/bestpractices">bestpractices</a>            <a href="https://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/edu_news">edu_news</a></p>                                        </li>      <li>      <p class="diigo-link">                <a href="http://www.pavtube.com/guide/top-10-adobe-flash-player-for-new-ipad-3.html">Top 10 Adobe Flash Player for the new iPad 3</a>      </p>      <p class="diigo-description">One of the concerns about ipads is the inability to use flash or javascript. This can be done. Here are the top 10 flash players. If you limit down to those that can do Flash AND java - the options are a bit pricey - Cloud Browse does both but only lets you have 10 minute browsing sessions. Virtual Firefox ($4.99) and Virtual Browser for Chrome (19.99) each can allow Java and Flash and also bookmark/sync services with your desktop browser (5.99 and .99 respectively.) This may be a tad expensive but show it can be done. The highest rated is virtual browser for chrome. I think the chrome browser is a tad pricey. You do have to be 17 to download these apps, I guess because you can use them to access video. </p>              <p class="diigo-tags">          <span>tags:</span>                      <a href="https://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/education">education</a>            <a href="https://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/news">news</a>            <a href="https://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/apps">apps</a></p>                                        </li>  </ul><p class="diigo-ps">Posted from <a href='https://www.diigo.com'>Diigo</a>.

Jayman's Relationship Advice

9:00 PM Tukiyooo 0

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Hola y'all! From time to time people ask me for advice. And, being the world famous internet radio star, I know that I should be there for them. Today someone emailed me about a very serious dilemma and I felt like I should answer him publicly because it might help many more people out there.<br /><div class="MsoNormal"><b><br /></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>Anon asked:<br /><br />So, there’s this chick that I really REALLY like.  She’s super cute and I think we would make a great couple together.  Problem is, I can’t seem to figure out how to get her attention and get her to notice me.  Got any ideas?</b><br /><br />You’re in luck.  I’ve been in this same situation and I know just what to do.  First thing you do is google this chick.  See how much you can find out about her.  If you’re lucky you’ll find her phone number and maybe even home address.  Also, she might have an old Myspace page that she just left sitting there when she moved over to Facebook.  This is always a great place to learn more about your new <strike>victim</strike> love.<br /><br />On that Myspace page you will probably find pictures of her. Maybe even some of her in a bikini.  Save those so you can make your shrine to her.  Also, you will find out who her friends are and what kind of music she loves and shit like that.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5JLr1ePqHykx5fMHk9t3jUuft3EnJCWX4O4FJlFiz4QFMEix7pODAYevO66IgnqaaptzPxS31nxKdubcsbw6d3Rq4OI1VlWPrJ1O2nZx4lo1X5D50gdHJvPvhqqNkyY-zB539cQqIX2o/s1600/tiffani_thiessen_legs_nude_hot_stalker.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="283" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5JLr1ePqHykx5fMHk9t3jUuft3EnJCWX4O4FJlFiz4QFMEix7pODAYevO66IgnqaaptzPxS31nxKdubcsbw6d3Rq4OI1VlWPrJ1O2nZx4lo1X5D50gdHJvPvhqqNkyY-zB539cQqIX2o/s320/tiffani_thiessen_legs_nude_hot_stalker.jpg" width="320" /></a>Then start learning the places she likes to hang out at.  Like coffee houses, bars, restaurants and if she likes to go for walks at the local park or whatever.  After you do this, start scouting those places out at different times of the day and find out when she’s there.<br /><br />Don’t go in immediately.  Just sit back and watch.  It helps to wear a disguise and park in an inconspicuous location while doing your research.   Gather all the info you can.  Take pictures, make notes and be thorough.<br /><br />Now that you have all this down, formulate your plan.  Start showing up at her favorite places and bumping into her.  Be like “HEY! Didn’t I just see you at Starbucks earlier today?” And she’ll be like “Oh yeah! I saw you there!”<br /><br />You know why? Cause she noticed that you were wearing a t-shirt of her favorite band and ordering the exact same thing she was about to order.  THIS is where your research is paying off.  And, now? Now you’re at the park, staying shape like she likes to do and you’re walking your pet bulldog that you just got at the local animal shelter after reading her blog about how she still missed her pet bulldog “Brutus” that died when she was 12 on her old Myspace page that she forgot she had.  <br /><br />This is important.  Don’t use her current Facebook page, blog or Twitter for research.  It needs to be on that old page she forgot about.  That way it won’t seem weird or creepy. Women don’t notice things like this and won’t put all the pieces together until <strike>it’s much too late</strike> you guys are already in love<br /><br />So, now you can ask her for her phone number and you’re in!  Just start calling her like every half hour asking her out and telling her how much you love her and how you can’t live without her.  Tell her how you saw her at her favorite bar the other night with her friends and how her ass was looking delicious in that short dress.  And then ask her about that guy she was grinding on while dancing.  Be forceful wanting to know who he is and stuff.<br /><br />Then, tell her about how you were driving by her house every hour or so all night long and noticed that she seems to go to bed around midnight cause that’s when the lights go out.  And you saw that she leaves the house at around 7:30 in the morning.  But that you noticed that she didn’t get home until around 5 am the night you saw her at the bar and ask just what she was doing all night.<br /><br />Finally, tell her about how you fantasize about her while you’re masturbating every single night.  Be graphic.  Don’t leave any details out.  Chicks really love that.  <br /><br />Hope this helps.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br /><div class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_1252861083"><br /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal"><a href="mailto:Jayman3768@gmail.com">Jayman3768@gmail.com</a><br /><a href="http://facebook.com/Jayman68" target="_blank">Facebook.com/Jayman68</a><br /><a href="http://www.twitter.com/jayman_iws" target="_blank">@Jayman_IWS</a><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><br /></div>
