95.0% of Users Would Recommend this Digital Camera
5.0% of Users Would Not Recommend this Digital Camera
PROS: - IS - 10x zoom - LCD with more pixels - tripod mount narrow to the lens axis - pop-up flash - good balance between CCD size and his resolution resulting little noise in low light conditions - dedicated buttons - DIGIC processor - work with both type I and II of CF - price!
CONS: - plastic body - no hot-shoe - no AF assist lamp
PROS: Zoom, battery life is amazing, lots of room to grow due to numerous features
CONS: Price, wish the LCD was just a bit larger
PROS: 10X lens Image Stabilization device really works Good style/design
CONS: Eats batteries. Included ARC Soft Software seems weak. Ineffective lens cap.
PROS: Versatility, lots of great features, relatively easy to use--even to a digital camera beginner. Image stabilizer is very useful.
CONS: Price. Needs more power efficiency (uses batteries too quickly). Hard to hold with the LCD out.
PROS: Excellent camera, feature rich.. new ultrasonic motor, 10x zoom, stabiliser... Suitable for beginners and professionals
CONS: 3.2 megapixels... should at least be 4, then it would be perfect.
PROS: When i tryed i love it! If you tryed to take 10x without tripod you know that it will be bllury. No more with IS! I love this camera..
CONS: It will be the perfect one if outfited wit 4MP or 5MP CCD but still the best for features ofered.
PROS: Zoom, movie features
CONS: hard to hold initially, i don't find the screen size an issue
PROS: If you don't want to shell out over $1K for a SLR camera and you will just print 5 X 7 or 4 X 6 prints, this camera is for you. It has many "mini" features of a SLR with its manual controls. 10X zoom is just a joy to use. Using NiMH batteries sure beats those little proprietary batteries in those compact point and shoots. Plus, you can't beat the sharp photo quality of a Canon!
CONS: My only beef- the chance that your lens cap will get lost, consequently smudges on the lens. But it has a strap so you just tie it to the camera.
PROS: Between the 10x Zoom, Image Stabilization, and image quailty, you photos will look great! Lots of Features. Easy to configure. Intuitive. That zoom lens is awesome. Battery-Life - Great- 400mb on NiMH Rechargables. IMAGE STABILIZATION! No more scratches on your LCD! Diopter (for those of us with poor vision). Essentially, this camera will help you shoot really great photos.
CONS: Takes a while to auto-focus in low light condition.
PROS: Image stabilization is a near miracle! Zoom motor is VERY fast. Images are near perfect. Camera nearly foolproof to take great shots.
CONS: Writing to memory not the fastest with a regular CF card.

It is estimated that over 65.7 million Americans are caregivers for a family member or loved one. Cancer is just one illness that may require the assistance of a caregiver. Being a caregiver can impact your physical, emotional, and financial health and well-being. Some facts about cancer caregivers:
As a caregiver, you must make time to care for yourself in order to provide good care for your loved one. It is important to recognize your own needs as a caregiver and to ask for help when needed. Accept others' offers to help and allow some respite time for yourself. Network with other caregivers through support groups or online discussion groups to get ideas and share feelings. Find a non-judgmental person with whom to share your feelings. Keeping feelings of anxiety and frustration to yourself can just lead to feelings of resentment. Don't allow your own health to fall to the wayside, be sure to make time for your own doctor's visits, and try to maintain a good diet.
The Caregiver Action Network created these "10 Tips for Family Caregivers":
Visit OncoLink's section on caregiving for education, tips and resources to make this journey a good one.
Apr 12, 2011 - Caregiver mental quality of life is worse in lung and colorectal patient-caregiver dyads in which one member of the dyad smokes, according to a study published in the February issue of Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention.

Fixing problems can seem hard, there is always a momentum resisting change. Is it better though, to spend time and effort to fix the symptoms of the problem? Quite honestly, no.
The UK had a lot of rain recently, but, the growing season is coming around again and the greenhouse is only partially complete, so the week-end was spent outside digging in the mud, again. The next door neighbour comes along, sarcastic comments expected, but no, the discussion turned to the husband's hernia, which may or may not have been excavation related, and which had been left untreated for more than 18 months, a victim of health service waiting lists.
Even though the hernia is not necessarily life threatening, it cannot be very comfortable to live with. There are the restrictions of what can be done physically, diet, the pain suffered continuously, the cost and side effects of the drugs prescribed and taken to relieve the pain, the cost of care and visits to and from the health service. This is only the start. There is then the risk of further development of the problem. A non-urgent hernia today can easily become much more serious if it grows bigger or the "flow" gets restricted.
The UK's National Health Service has at some point decided that all of this is acceptable, rather than simply clearing the backlog of cases. Clearing the backlog would mean more cost, more operating theatre time, more surgeons which clearly they thought was out of budget. Some fundamental facts however were ignored, specifically the growing cost of the care of those waiting for operations and the growing cost and complications of the operations as the hernias become worse and more difficult to operate on over time. There is also the administrative cost managing the list of people who have the condition and their changing circumstances. What about the cost to the government paying benefits to these people who may not be able to continue working?
The choice was made. It could alternatively have sorted people out straight away, got away with minor operations with no significant need or cost of the treatment of symptoms and no losses due to people's incapacity. The "lean" approach as we know it now would be to understand the number of hernia operations, which must be more or less constant, to create mini-operating theatres dedicated to hernia operations that met the demand, at a much cheaper cost than full "ready for anything" theatres. Reduced cost, reduced pain, where was the down-side? Perhaps too radical a thought at the time.
The mini-operating theatre idea came to me as an analogy of the cell production environment in electronics production. In production, there are also pains, there are symptoms, and there are Band-Aids and bandages put around difficult issues which bring costs and restrictions with what can be achieved operationally.
The challenge for production today is that the world is changing. Long term forecasting is giving way to short term flexibility demand as the point for sale moves ever closer to the factory door. The factory will ultimately need to bear the task of making whatever is wanted whenever it is requested, pretty much responding to raw customer demand. Not good then to have many work-arounds related to pains and symptoms restricting in what can be done, what can be changed. These pains, like my neighbour's hernia, needs to be addressed at source and symptoms eliminated. Manufacturing needs to be fully fit in order to be successful. The Valor software provides the opportunity to the factory to address the market challenges by eliminating the legacy constraints with tools such as Process Preparation, Lean Material Management and SMT focused Production Planning, and part of the Valor suite. If only then this application of Lean thinking could rub-off on the UK's and other countries' health services, perhaps our lives would be a whole lot more productive and pain free…

Green Right Now
In his Jan. 27 State of the Union Address, President Obama included high-speed rail, stating, "From the first railroads to the Interstate Highway System, our nation has always been built to compete. There's no reason Europe or China should have the fastest trains or the new factories that manufacture clean-energy products."
He followed that up with a visit to Tampa the next day, where he stated that $8 billion in grants would be going to a Tampa-Orlando-Miami route in Florida, followed by similar rail projects in California and Illinois.
This is music to the ears of longtime train advocate Anthony Perl, a fellow with the Post Carbon Institute (PCI). The San Francisco-area institute is an apolitical think tank that envisions a world of communities and economies that thrive within ecological bounds. The president's address spurred PCI to send Obama an open letter applauding the speech but imploring him to lead the transition to a post-carbon economy by, in part, preparing for the future with cost-effective energy, such as trains. In addition to his position with PCI, Perl is the director of the Urban Studies Program at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, British Columbia.
"The Obama administration's launch of a high-speed rail program is the most important transportation initiative that the U.S. has seen in my 47-year lifetime," says Perl. "The program opens the door to a post-carbon mobility future in ways that tinkering with fuel efficiency, auto emissions and 'intelligent' vehicle and high designs can never accomplish."
In an e-mail chat this week, Perl talked about why the President's rail plan is so crucial.
"Rail offers the only proven surface transportation technology that can be run on renewable energy right now," Perl says. "All other systems – hybrids, battery cars, hydrogen fuel cells etc. – are in the prototype (or earlier stages) and will not be ready in time for our society to survive oil depletion."
Has the United States missed the window of opportunity for getting started with a major rail plan?
"It is not too late for rail to take up an increasing share of travel up to 1,000 miles as we reduce our use of planes and internal combustion-engine vehicles. Electric high–speed trains and electric freight trains are proven technology."
Will Americans change their mindset about train travel?
"Of course they will. People love trains – when they are run well."
How would a high-speed train system be financed?
"Just like air and road transport, government will pay for the infrastructure up front (airports and highways are built and owned by government) and operations will be paid for by the users – just as we pay air and bus fares, and for the cost of operating our cars. Whether those fares will be paid to a government-owned railroad, a privately owned railroad, or some joint venture, remains to be seen. Each model could work."
How do you think oil and car companies will react to the competition?
"They will have bigger problems to worry about. [Problems] like inventing new business models that can cope with the energy and climate challenges ahead."
What about the price of riding the rail? A recent trip on Amtrak's Northeast corridor was pleasant and on time, but a bit pricey.
"Travel costs are a direct result of government policy. If the new trains pay low rent for the new tracks, they will charge lower ticket prices. If they pay higher prices to rent the track from public, private or mixed partnership owners, then ticket prices will be higher. U.S. train tickets are a bargain compared to those in the United Kingdom, where train-operating companies make good profits."
Texas was supposed to get a high-speed rail system, but the plan seems to have "de-railed," so to speak. Any updates?
"Texas tried to go for a fully private passenger train franchise (Texas TGV) in the 1990s. It collapsed and this has left a policy vacuum that other states like California and North Carolina were more advanced in filling."
Perl suggests that the U.S. should partner with Europe and Asia on high-speed rail projects.
"Now is the time to recognize that the United States has a lot to learn from others when it comes to building modern passenger trains," he says. "We face a steep learning curve in building modern electric railroad infrastructure and equipment after decades of neglect and disinvestment.
"We should partner with Asia and Europe to share their know-how, rather than reinventing the wheel at greater expense and with more mistakes… if we opt to 'go it alone.' If we can overcome the hubris of having only a 'made-in-the-USA' high-speed train, we will get where we need to be a lot faster, and generate more jobs and economic development as a result."
Perl also believes that rail travel should be linked to the developing electric smart grid.
"All of these fast trains will be powered by electricity, an open-ended energy carrier that can blend renewable energy sources with a decreasing carbon content.
"Most of the major corridors in the U.S. will need to be electrified in the next 25 years. Meaning now would be the ideal time to connect the high-speed rail plan with the emerging 'smart grid.' New transmission lines could be run atop the tracks, with a periodic step-down of their current to power freight and passenger trains without using a drop of oil."

BARATARIA BAY, LA - DECEMBER 05: Marsh grasses covered in oil from the BP oil spill are seen December 5, 2010 in Barataria Bay, Louisiana. Nearly eight months after the spill, oil remains along the shoreline of some of the barrier islands in the area and has killed off sections of marsh grass. Some of the islands are nesting areas for birds. BP lawyers said that government estimates of the size of the oil spill are too large in a dispute that will mark how many billions of dollars in fines the oil giant will have to pay.

Courtesy photo Bill Robinson, trumpet player, serenades a crowd gathered to honor service men and women on Veterans Day in Rollinsford.
ROLLINSFORD — "The Rollinsford American Legion Post 47 was founded over 80 years ago and," said Commander Ron Chabot, "every year we have honored our veterans by holding a ceremony, and this year is no different. Perhaps even more important considering where some of our troops are today." Chabot, and many members of the Post joined by local residents, gathered at Gold Star Park, to recognize the contributions made by all the United States veterans past and present to their country.Set alongside the Salmon Falls River Reservoir on Foundry Street, the park was put into place in the early 60s and has been the location for the annual ceremony since. "It is appropriate that we hold the service here," said past Commander Dick Shorey "the small towns seem to remember what Veterans Day is all about, what they have done for us strikes a little closer to home here."Most branches of the military were represented this day and although there was the usual joking about the difference in the services, all were there to do one thing, honor those that served. Post Senior Vice Commander Bob Allard Jr., a veteran of Kosovo, the Gulf War and several other conflicts, retired as a Navy Chief and stated, "I wish there we could do more than just this, so many sacrificed everything that they had, even their lives."

quote:The Brooklyn Nets are preparing to make another run at Dwight Howard, according to a source. Playing in Brooklyn with Deron Williams and Joe Johnson was at the top of Howard's list last summer and the Nets are convinced that he still has a strong desire to make the Barclays Center his home office. The Nets have played well under P.J. Carlesimo and feel like the addition of Howard could be the piece that gets them to the NBA Finals. Nets general manager Billy King has closely monitored the struggling Lakers and quietly searched for a third team with an attractive piece that would help facilitate a trade that would deliver Howard to the Nets, according to sources.
quote:Net Daily: Nets source: Howard trade rumor "total BS" ... "fabricated" by "Jarrod Whatever His Name Is" Strong words delivered minutes after report. Twitter @NetsDaily
quote:Could the Hawks have interest? Smith to LA, Howard to Brooklyn, Lopez to Atlanta?
quote: Isn't Smith a FA after this year? The Lakers would be in the same situation they're in now. I do like the move in theory though, it would allow for Pau to move back to the post where I think he's better
quote:Aren't the Nets disallowed from trading Lopez because they just signed him to a new deal this year?
quote:interesting, but I think the Hawks are more apt to try and lure Dwight back home to team him up with Josh. and the bigger issue is they probably don't like Lopez's contract. hell, I know I don't.

Edward M. Kennedy
Doug Mills/The New York Times
Edward M. Kennedy came to Washington following the trail blazed by his older brothers, John and Robert. He became a senator for Massachusetts in 1962, elected to fill the vacancy left by John's election as president, and held the position until his death, on Aug. 25, 2009, at age 77.
Mr. Kennedy received a diagnosis of brain cancer in May 2008, after he suffered a seizure and was airlifted to a Boston hospital. After undergoing an operation at the Duke University Medical Center in June, he managed to make a rousing speech at the Democratic convention in Denver but faded more and more from view afterwards.
In July 2009, as a divided Senate tangled over health care legislation, there was bipartisan consensus on one point: Ted Kennedy could make a big difference, if only he were there. Mr. Kennedy had not been on Capitol Hill since April. Colleagues routinely lamented his absence, which had been especially painful to Mr. Kennedy, the committee chairman, who had spent much of his career trying to expand health coverage. People close to Mr. Kennedy marveled at how his fight for his life could coincide so dramatically with a summer crucial to his life's cause.
As his health declined, Mr. Kennedy became more of an inspirational leader than a tangible one. He turned over his day-to-day committee duties to Mr. Dodd in the spring. Mr. Dodd called him on July 14 to tell him the health committee, known as HELP, would pass the health bill—whose centerpiece is a government-run insurance plan—the next day. "I called about 8:15, and he was already asleep," Mr. Dodd said. Mr. Kennedy called back at 7 a.m. the next morning sounding thrilled.
"Just bellowing with joy," Mr. Dodd said, "as excited as I've heard him in a long time."
Mr. Kennedy's enthusiasm was in keeping with his reputation as one of the last lions of liberalism, a full-throated defender of the policies the Democratic party pursued in the 1960s and 1970s. But within the Senate he had a reputation as one of the most effective members at building bipartisan coalitions.
When President George W. Bush's No Child Left Behind bill was floundering in 2001, it was Mr. Kennedy he turned to and who saw it into law. In 2007, with the bill's renewal stalled, it was Mr. Kennedy Mr. Bush turned to again, despite bitter disagreements in the years in between on a wide range of issues, most notably the war in Iraq, which Mr. Kennedy opposed. When the Senate that spring seemed poised to pass a bipartisan bill on immigration, one of the names on it was Kennedy's.
In a posthumous memoir, "True Compass," published in September 2009, Mr. Kennedy called his behavior after the 1969 car accident on Chappaquiddick Island that killed Mary Jo Kopechne "inexcusable" and said the events might have shortened the life of his ailing father, Joseph P. Kennedy.
Mr. Kennedy, who left the scene and did not report the accident to the police until after Ms. Kopechne's body was found the next day, admitted in the memoir that he had "made terrible decisions" at Chappaquiddick. The account adds little to what is known about the accident and its aftermath but recounts how they weighed on him and his family. The book does not shy from the accident, or from some other less savory aspects of the senator's life, including a notorious 1991 drinking episode in Palm Beach, Fla., or the years of heavy drinking and women-chasing that followed his 1982 divorce from his first wife, Joan.
In a family synonymous with tragedy, Mr. Kennedy had his share of woes, many of which were self-inflicted. The car accident in Chappaquiddick permanently stained his reputation for many voters; his only bid for the presidency, a 1980 primary challenge, was easily turned back by President Jimmy Carter. In 1991, with his poll ratings among the lowest in Congress, he issued a public apology for his personal shortcomings. In 1994, after having divorced and remarried, and with a new sense of energy and determination, he bounced back to defeat Mitt Romney and hold onto his Senate seat. He never faced a serious challenge again, and at the 2004 Democratic convention in Boston, he was cheered and celebrated as the party's patriarch.

Seborrheic dermatitis is a common, inflammatory skin condition that causes flaky, white to yellowish scales to form on oily areas such as the scalp, face or inside the ear. It can occur with or without reddened skin.
Cradle cap is the term used when seborrheic dermatitis affects the scalp of infants.
Dandruff; Seborrheic eczema; Cradle cap
The exact cause of seborrheic dermatitis is unknown. Doctors think it may be due to a combination hormone levels, weakened immune system, lack of certain nutrients, or nervous system problems. Irritation from a yeast called Malassezia may also lead to this condition. Seborrheic dermatitis appears to run in families.
Risk factors include:
Seborrheic dermatitis can occur on different body areas. Usually, it forms where the skin is oily or greasy. Common areas include the scalp, eyebrows, eyelids, creases of the nose, lips, behind the ears, in the outer ear, and middle of the chest.
In general, symptoms of seborrheic dermatitis include:
Diagnosis is based on appearance and location of the skin lesions. Further tests, such as skin biopsy , are rarely needed.
Flaking and dryness can be treated with over-the-counter dandruff or medicated shampoos. You can buy these at the drugstore without a prescription. Look for a product that says on the label it treats seborrheic dermatitis. Such products contain ingredients such as salicylic acid, coal tar, zinc, resorcin, ketoconazole, or selenium sulfide. Use the shampoo according to label instructions.
For severe cases, your healthcare provider will likely prescribe a shampoo or lotion containing a stronger dose of selenium sulfide, ketoconazole, or corticosteroid. A cream that contains an immunomodulator may be prescribed. This medicine suppresses the immune system to treat inflammation.
It is thought that sunlight improves seborrheic dermatitis. In some persons the condition gets better in the summer, especially after outdoor activities.
Seborrheic dermatitis is a chronic (life-long) condition that comes and goes and can be controlled with treatment.
Severity of seborrheic dermatitis can be lessened by controlling risk factors and paying careful attention to skin care.
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if seborrheic dermatitis symptoms do not respond to self-care or over-the-counter treatments.
Also call if patches of seborrheic dermatitis drain fluid or pus, form crusts, or become very red or painful.
The severity of seborrheic dermatitis can be lessened by controlling the risk factors and by paying careful attention to skin care.

Important: You will not be able to simultaneously charge and use your Galaxy Tab if you are connected to a PC's USB port. The USB connection on a PC does not provide enough power for you to charge and use the device at the same time. If you need to simultaneously use and charge the device, we recommend you use the factory travel charger.
If your Galaxy Tab won't turn On, follow these steps:
Note: The battery charging indicator may take up to 10 minutes to appear on the tablet's LCD screen.
Note: If you don't have access to the factory travel charger you can charge the device using the USB connection on your PC, but the device will require twice as much time to charge (approximately up to 10 hours). Your device will need to be powered off in order to charge.
If the 7000 mAh battery completely drains, it will be unable to be powered on while directly connected to a power source. While in a completely discharged state, the charging indicator may not appear until approximately 10 minutes after it has been connected. At that point, the device should be able to be powered on while still connected. This is normal as the battery must receive a nominal charge before it can be powered on due to battery and electronic components located within the device.

A second- floor main living space yields dramatic views of the Rocky Mountains.
John Brown, RAIC, is on a profound mission, one that doesn't involve anything as mundane as scaling K2 or swimming the English Channel. The soft-spoken Canadian wants to simultaneously improve the quality of mass-market housing and make better houses more attainable for the middle class. As an architecture professor, he teaches students to become good designers and, through various professional efforts, he's instructing the public to identify good design, so they can and will make better housing decisions in the future.
Brown also practices what he teaches. With the help of his wife, Carina van Olm, who oversees business operations, and designer Matthew North, he runs a multidisciplinary practice called housebrand. Part real estate agency (Brown is a licensed Realtor), architecture firm, general contractor, interior designer, and furniture store, housebrand claims it's "a new kind of design firm"—one of the first in North America to integrate all of these house-related disciplines "into one seamless process."
Although the business model is unconventional, housebrand specializes in approachable, practical modern architecture that seeks to delight its clients. Yes, the firm will design and build a new house from the ground up, but its primary passion is "tailoring" outmoded existing homes to the way people really live.
Born and raised in Calgary, Alberta, Brown took a circuitous path to architecture, avoiding along the way his physician father's suggestions that he study medicine. "I didn't know what I wanted to do, so I went into engineering, and I absolutely hated it," he says. After graduating with a bachelor's degree in civil engineering from the University of Manitoba and no clear plans for the future, Brown decided to visit the university's architecture school; the experience so moved him that he applied to The University of Texas at Austin School of Architecture. "I realized it was what I was meant to do," he says. "We started doing basic design exercises, and it seemed to make so much sense because it was a nice mix of the rational and poetic."
Brown graduated with his M.Arch in 1984 and headed off for postgraduate work at Columbia University, lured by the opportunity to study with influential British architect/thinker Kenneth Frampton. "I was there just as his critical regionalism essay was coming out," he recalls. "And it was very important to think about how you can take the ideals of modern architecture and temper them with site, climate, and regional influences. But it became even more important over the course of my career."
No region of the United States has a stronger, more deeply rooted, or more characteristically regional modernist architecture than the...
When he talks about the concept of time, Andrés Duany, FAIA, takes on the enthusiastic manner of a star physics student. "Time is a...
After Brown earned his Master of Science degree in building design, he moved to Dallas to find work. Alas, it was inauspicious timing, during the economic recession and S&L crisis of the mid–1980s. Record unemployment and the prodding of his sister led him to apply for a teaching post at the University of Calgary, a job he accepted in 1985 at the age of 28. The academic world has framed his development ever since. Expanding on Frampton's writings, Brown—now the associate dean of Calgary's architecture school—studied architectural theory and worked to reconcile its relationship to practice and the built environment, experimenting with new materials, designing furniture, and doing design/build work.
But ultimately, he wanted to put his theories to the test and did so by launching his first firm, Studio Z, in 1990. Although he earned design awards for several high-end custom homes, Brown didn't find working for wealthy clients fulfilling. "It made me feel good and it made them feel good, but it didn't make much of a difference."
Yearning to have a greater impact in the larger world of market-rate housing, he researched how the merchant builder industry works and how the masses live and feel about housing. "I looked at the real estate industry, appraisals, and banking, and I tried to get a sense of the whole picture and how I could fit into that."
the lockbox unlocked
It turns out the real estate license was key, Brown concludes, and perhaps the most important professional decision he ever made. The power and influence of Realtors cannot be overstated, he says, because when people think they need a new place to live, they don't hire an architect—instead, they get an agent. "I told my father that the three-week course was the most valuable education I had ever had in my life," he says. The real estate license helped build relationships with potential clients, and the commissions from the transactions allowed the firm to defer some architectural fees to later in the project, when clients had financing.

Studio Z refined the business model in 1997 by adding a construction component, allowing the firm to control quality and consistency from start to finish. "It also meant that suddenly we were doing design/build, so we were able to reduce our architectural fees dramatically, which made us more attractive to people who didn't want to hire an architect anyway," Brown says. The partners changed the firm's name in 2000 to reflect its affordable and approachable nature; they came up with the new moniker at a local restaurant, while drinking martinis made with the house gin.
Intrigued by Brown's holistic approach to housing and public education efforts, Jeremiah Eck, FAIA, invited him to speak at the 2008 seminar on the house Eck organizes annually as part of Harvard's Graduate School of Design summer series. "What I was trying to do was examine alternative practices in a down market," says Eck, a partner at Boston-based Eck MacNeely Architects. "I was so inspired by his lecture that I went out and got my real estate license."
Brown is "looking at the profession in a much broader way than most of us who just wait for the phone to ring," Eck continues. "He's a lot more proactive in engaging clients in a bunch of different ways that make it more palatable for them to accept what we do as designers."
Brown's broad view means housebrand accepts most commissions. It has worked for as little as $10,000, but "typical" small jobs are $70,000 to $150,000, whole-house renovations run from $250,000 to $400,000, and new houses (averaging 2,400 square feet) are $650,00 to $800,000. The firm sells a process and has no bias toward size or cost. "It doesn't matter to us whether you spend $80,000 on a condo and we do $5,000 worth of work or you spend $200,000 and we do $100,000," he says. "The process of helping people find something, doing some design work, and doing the construction is the same." It certainly works for the kinds of clients most simpatico to Brown: middle-class individuals, like Michael Husband and his wife, Caroline Niwa, who simply want a great place to live.
"While we sort of skipped the beginner home, we knew that a new-build using an architect would be beyond our means," Husband explains. "Finding a suitable lot or knockdown in the areas we wanted also would have been cost-prohibitive." Instead, housebrand helped the family buy a smallish 1955 bungalow and executed the renovation. "It's quite modern now, which isn't for everyone, but we think it suits the house and our lifestyle," he adds.
brand anew
The soup-to-nuts process housebrand has set up is thriving, even as the rest of the home building industry struggles. The firm hired three employees this year (bringing the head count to 15) and has three new houses and 20 renovation projects in the works. Meanwhile, its Slow Home offshoot (theslowhome.com) has evolved into a full-fledged resource and education portal that's resonating with both architects and consumers. Founded in fall 2006, the nonprofit Web initiative promotes alternatives to builder-driven housing through how-to videos and other features.
The site's mission isn't to bash suburban developments, Brown says, but to provide "information so people can make informed choices about where they live." In the long run, "people hopefully will make better choices: either they'll hire more architects or designers, or they'll demand better from the residential construction industry."
Yes, housebrand's integrated approach works for its partners, but they're under no illusions that it's a surefire solution for every firm. Ever the theorist, Brown says the success of his formula isn't about the specifics, but about turning convention on its head. "The value isn't in saying everybody should have a real estate firm, a construction firm, and a retail store, but you can rethink the way you do business and be more innovative in how you get what you do out to the public."
