Installation of New Dean as Cathedral Golden Jubilee begins
The new Anglican Dean of Wellington will be installed and welcomed on Sunday January 26th The Reverend Digby Wilkinson describes the service as the first steps of an unexpected journey for him and his family. Digby is an ordained Anglican priest.
But most of his 20 years in ministry have been in the Baptist Church and he comes to the role after six years as leader of Palmerston Norths Central Baptist.
Digby, his wife Jane, and family will be led into the Cathedral on Sunday to be welcomed by people he will minister with; the Cathedral community, diocesan colleagues, and the wider community of Wellington.
Jane and I have great hopes for what is yet to come as we join these communities, he says. There is the day-to-day life of the Cathedral declaring the ministry of Christ, the Thorndon community as well as diocesan life and leadership. Taken together there are a number of tasks and joys to look forward in Wellington Cathedral of St Paul.
All the tasks and possibilities can seem a bit daunting so it is a step at a time and that this ministry will begin with prayer in the installation service, says Digby.
To act as a Christian priest who proclaims the message of Jesus I need to get to know the people, the issues, the context and the culture on the streets as well as the many neighbours of the Cathedral. Those neighbours include Parliament, the courts, defence forces and the New Zealand Police. I am looking forward to joining the wider Christian community which brings the message of the gospel, telling of Gods grace and hope to these contexts.
The service is at the beginning of the 50th the central city. Digby describes his role as to build on what has already been in the ministry of the Cathedral and to reach out to others whom, like him, may step into the Cathedral on their spiritual journey.

Installation of New Dean as Cathedral Golden Jubilee begins
Thousands of hand-folded paper cranes created by University of Florida engineering professor Elif Akcali are on display and dedicated to the Shands Arts in Medicine program at the Criser Cancer Resource Center at the UF Shands Cancer Hospital in Gainesville.
Nearly 4,000 cranes hang from the ceiling of the Marshall M. and Paula P. Criser Jr. Cancer Resource Center at UF Health Shands Cancer Hospital, rotating at the ends of their strings.
Some cranes are red. Others are white. They are strung into deliberate patterns, like a cascading hexagon or a grid. At Thursday nights reception, they filled the unoccupied space above everyone.
Visitors tipped their heads back to enjoy the nine sculptures that help comprise Messages, an exhibit by Elif Akcali, associate professor of industrial and systems engineering at the University of Florida, which was the inspiration for the reception.
But the cranes at the front of the room are different. Long, thin scrolls are fastened over them. Within each scroll is a message by a patient in the hospital. Akcali called this sculpture Message in the Folds.
The installation is in collaboration with UF Health Shands Arts in Medicine program, said director Tina Mullen. The program facilitates activities like art workshops or performances for patients in the hospital.
Mullen said patients will be able to see the cranes when they use the cancer resource center, which provides computers, books and classes to patients and caretakers. And anyone in the hospital will be able to see the exhibit from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday until Feb. 15.
Amy Bucciarelli, an art therapist with the program, helped collect the messages from patients and doctors. She said some messages were particularly touching.
For example, a 5-year-old girl who could not leave her bed because of her condition threw her arms in the air when asked for a contribution. Her message was Fly with your dreams.
To tell them, Your message is going to inspire other people, Bucciarelli said, it gives kids in the hospital a greater sense of meaning to their experience.

Fremont, CA (PRWEB) January 22, 2014
While very popular in European countries stretch ceilings technology is practically unknown in North America. Prior to opening its manufacturing facility in Fremont, the Los Altos, CA based Stretch Ceilings Inc. had to use manufacturers located outside of California and sometimes outside of US which had significantly slowed the time to deliver the product to the customers and added to the cost of the ceiling. Now with its own new manufacturing plant Smart Ceilings, Inc. has better control of the whole process, improves quality of the product and can manufacture the ceiling to be installed on the day of the order if needed. The final cost to the client will also drop making the stretch ceiling more affordable.
As Alex Novel, the companys President and CTO explains: Stretch ceilings have a number of advantages compared to traditional ceilings: unique reflective ability to incise ceiling height; they are water resistant; may be printed, back-lit, acoustic, antibacterial, non-sweating and dirt-resistant. Stretch ceiling also offers a full range of high-technology trim that can be adapted to any situation. Stretch ceiling coverings are installed cold and dry: quick, easy, clean, odor- and headache-free. The finishes are perfect and the result, impeccable. Respectful of the environment and your well-being, all parts of the system are recyclable. No cancer-causing substances (known as CMTs) and volatile organic compounds (known as VOCs). Stretch ceiling has certifications, which meet all standards currently in effect. It is ideal for new construction and renovations in all public and residential areas and designed for all professional and domestic uses.
In addition to manufacturing ceilings to be installed by the Stretch Ceilings Inc., own installers, the company now offers ceilings manufacturing at wholesale prices to other installers and dealers in US and Canada. The wholesale package includes training of installers offered to companies entering the stretch ceilings line of business.
Smart Ceilings, Inc. works closely with interior designers, architects, real estate developers and business owners offering extensive selection of colors and textures of stretch ceilings membrane.
Alex Novel goes on to say the following about the perspectives of the Stretch Ceilings market in US and California specifically: "The major factor limiting popularity of stretch ceilings in US is the final cost to customers. With manufacturing being real close to the installation site we hope to bring the cost down dramatically, which will finally make stretch ceiling affordable and cost effective to most of the home and business owners nationwide"
About Stretch Ceilings Inc.: Smart Ceilings Inc. is a leading stretch ceilings manufacturer and Installation Company in California and the only manufacturer of stretch ceilings in Western US. Smart Ceilings, Inc. serves the entire California including San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles Greater Area, San Diego, Orange County, and Sacramento.

New Stretch Ceiling Manufacturing Facility Opened in Fremont, California
Bridgwater couple thank Mercury
5:00pm Friday 10th January 2014 in News By Joe Dempsey
A COUPLE in their 80s have thanked the Mercury for helping them to get a hole in their ceiling fixed.
George Slade of Bridgwater had solar panels fitted on the roof of his two-bedroom bungalow but during the installation the roof was damaged causing a hole in the lounge ceiling.
Mr Slade reported the damage on November 6 to Anesco, the company contracted to repair the damage.
But after waiting six weeks and getting nowhere with his phone calls, Mr Slade came to the Mercury offices with his story.
The hole was in their lounge ceiling so Mr Slade and his wife, Jill, were unable to put up their Christmas tree.
At the time George said: I keep having to go up into the roof space when it rains to empty buckets of water and bring them down again. It spoiled our Christmas.
Mr Slade got in touch with us on December 12 and after our calls to the company, Anesco contacted the Slades later that day saying the repairs would be done on January 6.
He said: When I got the call I said to my wife 'I bet the Bridgwater Mercury got in touch with them'.

Phare No. 1-9, by London based Dutch designer Simon Heijdens. The installation was commissioned by Perrier-Jout for Design Miami.
My practice is about countering the perpetual nature of architecture, said Simon Heijdens, a London-based designer. His hypnotic installation, consisting of nine glass vessels hung from the ceiling of a 600-square-foot booth, was a hit of the Design Miami fairand one of many temporary engagements with architecture on display during Art Basel week.

Heijdenss vessels operate like high tech lava lamps: electronic pulses dissolve dye in the water to form ripple patterns, which are based on data recorded by wind sensors outside the building. He spent a year creating the installation, which he said was on the border between graphics and sculpture, under the sponsorship of the champagne company Perrier-Jout. Next week, the piece will be in storage.
But whos to say the temporary installation isnt architecture? Outside the fairs massive tent, an entry pavilion by the young Brooklyn firm formlessfinderarchitects whose name is a kind of manifestoused a sand pile as ballast to support a roof on aluminum trusses. Below the roof were aluminum formlessfinder benches that Design Miami founder Craig Robins said he had decided to transplant to his Design District, where new buildings by the likes of Sou Fujimoto, Aranda/Lasch, Johnston Marklee, and Keenen Riley are under construction. Robins has the golden touch when it comes to picking architects: Aranda/Lasch, David Adjaye, and Snarkitecture have created Design Miami pavilions before going on to bigger things.
As a proving ground, the annual pavilion commission has come to resemble the Young Architects Program sponsored by MoMA PS1, the Museum of Modern Arts contemporary art space in Queens, New York. But if the Young Architects creationspavilions in the PS1 courtyardare aimed mostly at 20-somethings, Design Miami attracts an older, well-heeled crowd (including, this year, architectural grandees Jean Nouvel, Richard Meier, and Norman Foster).
Meanwhile, in a corner of the Design Miami tent, a show organized by Terence Riley, the former MoMA curator of architecture and design, featured detailed plans for an apartment complex in Coconut Grove, designed by OMA, as well as the losing designs of Nouvel, Christian de Portzamparc, and Diller Scofidio + Renfro. (Riley ran an informal competition on the developers behalf.) It will take time, and hard work, Riley said, for the slick models and renderings to become real buildings. Heijdenss installation will have come and gone before OMAs complex breaks ground.

Design Miami Dispatch: Temporary Architecture Against a Background of Big Building

Kaley Cuoco clearly did not want a traditional wedding.
Not only did the Big Bang Theory star ditch the white dress and go for a pink Vera Wang gown for her New Years Eve nuptials to Ryan Sweeting, but she also decided to turn her wedding cake upside down too.
TY to #thebutterend for creating our magical chandelier cake. Literally hanging above us. EPIC, Cuoco wrote on Instagram, alongside a photo of the six-tiered cake dangling from a chandelier behind the newlyweds.
The cake was created by Kimberly Bailey, owner of The Butter End Cakery in Santa Monica, Calif., who cancelled her holiday vacation to Australia to produce the over-the-top creation.
When Kaley told me there were going to be chandeliers all over the place, I had a vision, Bailey told TODAY.com. Originally she thought of putting the cake on top of the chandelier, but later began thinking about the cake acting as an extension of the chandelier below.

I told Kaley what I was thinking and she kind of lost her mind, Bailey said. It was one of those times where you say something, then think What did I just do?
To construct the cake, Bailey ran a pole through the center which attached to the chandelier, and added planks to each tier to keep them from pressing against each other. She then attached sandbags to the chandelier to help it hold the weight of the cake.

PHILADELPHIA When David Norse first stepped into the Broad Street Ministry on Philadelphia's Avenue of the Arts and spotted the art installation of a dozen tilting metal windmills and glimpsed the flocks of origami birds suspended from the ceiling, he felt a connection.
"This is the place," he recalled thinking a few years ago when he first visited the church across the street from the Kimmel Center. "I'm home."
On Sunday, Norse, 27, was ordained at Broad Street Ministry as Philadelphia's first openly gay male minister in a Presbyterian church.
Norse's proud parents, Rachel and Richard, flew in from Portland, Ore., along with the Rev. Ken Evers-Hood, Norse's hometown minister and mentor. The joyful service featured an eclectic musical mix, with sing-alongs of "This Little Light of Mine," an anthem from the civil rights movement, and a rousing rendition of Sister Sledge's pop classic "We are Family."
The Rev. Bill Golderer, Broad Street's pastor, said the ordination of Norse, who recently earned a master's degree from the Princeton Theological Seminary, marked "an unleashing of David's gifts to the world."
In an earlier interview, Golderer said Norse's ordination reflected the Center City ministry's commitment to serving a diverse Christian community. The ministry has a large outreach program for the homeless and strong ties with the local arts community.
"While David's sexual orientation is an important part of his identity, he sees himself first and foremost as someone called to pastor God's people," said Golderer, who was tapped in 2005 to establish the alternative church. "He is very much into this being a dimension of who he is, but not the sum total."
"Broad Street has always been a place that welcomes people," said Norse, who worshipped at the church while at Princeton and who has been a pastoral associate since September.

A California judge is being criticized for giving a plea deal to a German architect whose design flaws in a Los Angeles mansion led to the death of a firefighter.
The Los Angeles Times reports 49-year-old Gerhard Beckers trial was preempted Friday after Superior Court Judge Robert Perry unilaterally agreed to a six-month prison sentence for the German national and renowned architect in exchange for Becker pleading no contest to the charges.
In striking the deal, Perry reportedly reasoned a Los Angeles building and safety inspector who signed off on the mansion after its construction shared some of the blame for the firefighters death.
There are serious issues of proof for responsibility of the loss of life, Perry reportedly said, adding that he believed the role of inspector Brad Bescos would lead to a hung jury.
- Deputy District Attorney Sean Carney
But Deputy District Attorney Sean Carney hammered Perry for his decision, reportedly saying, It is a sentence that undermines any deterrent effect that says they can blame it on city bureaucracy's negligence.
The Times also quoted retired firefighter Kevin Mulvehill of the agreement, I don't think six months in jail is worth what all these guys went through. Everyone who responded has a life sentence."
Firefighter Glenn Allen, 61, a 37-year department veteran, reportedly died during a 2011 blaze at the West Hollywood mansion that Becker intended as his primary residence.
Prosecutors contended Becker sloughed local building codes in installing a pebble-filled fire pit in the mansions living room that was reportedly surrounded by wood and drywall, rather than non-flammable materials.
Authorities reportedly contended that Beckers cost for the fire pit's installation would have been 10 times higher had he done it properly -- and up to municipal code.

UPPER FRUITLAND The happiness from World War II veteran Paul Anderson's face could not be erased as he walked into his kitchen Monday.
Anderson, 93, built his house, located in Upper Fruitland off of Old Navajo 36, approximately 60 years ago. But a fire on Dec. 14 left a large hole in the kitchen ceiling, exposing electrical wires and charring insulation and roof trusses.
Katherine Charley, Anderson's daughter, contacted The Daily Times about the situation and asked the public for help to repair the house.
The San Juan County Fire Department determined the fire started when a stove pipe in the roof failed. The pipe either grew too hot, had been the wrong type or had deteriorated over the years because of use, explained San Juan County Fire Chief Doug Hatfield.
After The Daily Times story was published Dec. 19, Ireke Cooper, president of Cooper Fire Protection Services Inc., contacted Charley to learn about the situation and to inspect the damage.
Cooper then organized a group of volunteers from inside and outside his company to repair the house in time for Christmas.
"It's our opportunity to say thanks in a meaningful way because there are not many World War II veterans left," Cooper said, adding that both of his grandfathers were veterans.
His company donated materials, equipment and construction labor, and he also contacted area businesses to see if they could donate materials and time to complete the repairs.
That call for help was answered by Central Flood Management, which loaned equipment and helped with project planning, coordination and construction labor.
Castle Rock Builder Services helped with material procurement and construction labor. Construction labor was also provided by Tattoos with Luster. Valencia Insulation donated insulation, Westates Supply donated a new water heater and installation accessories and Kwall Paint gave discounted paint.
