My Home Is My Castle wall sticker from Leonora Hammond
by Alexandra Thomas on October 26, 2010 | 0 comments
Tell it like it is with this territorial wall sticker from Leonora Hammond. £40
It's fair to say I am obsessed with typography which no doubt comes from having a background in the media and the fact my Dad was a print manager.
However, surveying my home the other day, I realised I don't have one single piece of type displayed in the home.
That's all about to change though, because I have found this gorgeous My Home Is My Castle wall sticker from Leonora Hammond.
Perfect for stamping your authority on your own "castle", this wall sticker is available in an array of colours from a sunny yellow to dramatic black and virtually everything in between. And if you don't want to be quite so authoritative, then don't despair as there are a wide range of saying s available as well as famous quotes. And for fussy types, those clever bods at Leonora Hammond will even let you devise your own saying.
So, as they say, with these wall stickers, the writing is most definitely on the wall.

Interview: Aiveen Daly
by Emma Foale on October 26, 2010 | 0 comments
We interview furniture designer Aiveen Daly
Inspired by haute couture gowns, Aiveen Daly's collection boasts hand-upholstered designs with intricate detail and a gorgeous chic look.
Read on to find out more about Aiveen Daly's style and inspiration...
If you had 3 words to describe your collection what would they be?
Luxurious, contemporary, different.
What inspired you to get into the world of interior design?
I love colour and textiles and wanted to spend my life doing something more creative.
Your collection is hand upholstered, how do you feel that this enhances the quality and aesthetics of the designs?
My team are meticulous to the point of obsession. We work on fabrics that come from all over the world sometimes they have been specially produced at hundreds of pounds a metre so we can't make any mistakes! Doing things by hand allows for more creative fluidity. It makes each piece totally unique compared with mass production where a lot is done by computer and huge machines.
You have a selection of beautiful vintage pieces, how do you think vintage-inspired furniture will continue to add personality and character to both modern and traditional interiors?
We love to revive old pieces and dress them in something contemporary. Old furniture is often magnificently built and so literally lasts hundreds of years. BBC Homes & Antiques magazine suggested the Aiveen Daly collection would be the antiques of the future. We really build our pieces to last.
Your designs are inspired by haute couture gowns and Saville Row tailoring, which are your favourite pieces and why?
My favourite Stiletto chair is the Love Knot as it is simple and classic like your favourite piece of clothing or jewellery that never goes out of style.
What is the key link between fashion and design for you, and how do you think 2011 fashion trends will influence interior design?
Fashion for me has always been more experimental and quirky than furniture design. Tailoring is big again with very classic cuts – simplicity with attention to detail will be important. I think a new minimalism will emerge that is much warmer than the last wave.
All of your work is manufactured in Britain, how important do you believe it is for interior design to become more eco-friendly and to help build the British economy?
I think it is so important to keep traditional trades alive. Britain has always been renowned for high end craftsmanship. I think it should be more clearly labelled on furniture where it has been manufactured as it definitely influences customers. It is much more sensible to invest in something that you will keep for years and pass down to your children than to buy cheap imports that you have to replace every time you move.
What is the most recent design product that you have bought for your home?
My new Aphrodite lampshades in pale grey silk with hand braiding.
Where do you like to shop for quirky furniture pieces for your own home?
Merchant Archive and Retrouvius.
Do you have any new collections on the horizon?
We have just made a magnificent 4 poster bed called Arabian Nights with hand beading and stud work. We will be doing a lot more with embellishment in the near future.
Paris skyline cushion from Megan Quinton
by Alexandra Thomas on October 25, 2010 | 0 comments
Add some ooh la la to your interiors with this Paris skyline cushion from Megan Quinton. £35
Being utterly obsessed with cushions means I never tire of seeing new ones or coming across new designers who share my passion.
Megan Quinton is clearly just as fanatical about them as me, as her gorgeous collection proves.
Megan's bright and cheery cushions are available in a wide range of designs but my favourite is this Paris skyline one.
Made from felt, the design has been finished with hand embroidery detailing and is truly exquisite.
And if you're feeling patriotic rather than Franco-phile, the Tower Bridge design is rather natty too.
How to... create the perfect dining room
by Alexandra Thomas on October 25, 2010 | 0 comments
Get ready for Christmas with our guide on how to create the perfect dining room
With Christmas just around the corner (just over eight weeks to go) it's essential you get your dining room sorted in preparation for entertaining guests. Perhaps this is your first time hosting the main event or you just want to give your dining room a makeover. Whatever your budget, style and reason, our guide shows you how to create the perfect dining room for the festive period and all year round.
The Table
The dining table is an essential bit of kit. A good option is to choose one that's extendable, that way you're always have room for the extra guest who just happens to turn up unannounced. The Malang Dark Teak Extending Dining Table will add a touch of oriental –chic to your scheme while the refectory-style Ash Extending Dining Table from Sweetpea & Willow is perfect for those that want something a little simpler. If you don't have room for an extending design, opt for a round one, which is much more sociable and guaranteed to get even guests who don't know each other chatting.
The Chairs
The days of having to match chairs to your table are long gone. Of course, if you want to match your chairs to your table then there are plenty of options. However, mixing and matching chairs is a great way to give your dining room a unique look. Brightly coloured chairs such as the Tolix A Chair from The Lollipop Shoppe work well with a plain, wooden table. Comfort as well as style is important when it comes to dining chairs, make sure you opt for ones that your guests will want to stay in long after pudding rather than running for the hills before the starter has arrived. If you're going to use benches instead of chairs, make sure there's plenty of room to manoeuvre them and add some colourful cushions for extra comfort.
The Lighting
Lighting, as in every room, plays an important part in the dining room. Firstly, it's important to choose a central light to create drama and atmosphere. A pendant light such as the Clarence Pendant Shade from Heal's is a good choice. Make sure it's connected to a dimmer switch so you can alter the mood of the room accordingly. Candle light is a must for any dining room, whether you opt for a dramatic candelabra such as the Medium Abbey 5 Arm Candelabra from Alexander and Pearl or subtle tea light holders (Also Home has a good choice), they're a sure fire way to add some atmosphere to any scheme.
The Tableware
Choosing your tableware is as important as the food you serve on it. White is best, it looks classic, is timeless and means should things get a little out of hand or the washing up chaotic, pieces can be easily replaced. Don't be afraid to mix and match, decorative plates such as the Art of Entertaining collection by Andrew Tanner from Designed in England look fabulous with plain white china.
Follow these simple tips and you're ready to entertain, now all you need is to get cooking...
Shop the look...

by Alexandra Thomas on October 24, 2010 | 0 comments
The creators of some of the most stylish kitchens around have just opened a new showroom in Blackheath
When I'm a grown up and need to buy a kitchen, my first stop will be John Lewis of Hungerford.
I've always adored their designs from the deliciously retro Creme de la Creme kitchens which are available in a range of ice cream colours such as Vanilla, Strawberry and Mint to the ultra chic Shaker designs, they are the perfect place for a beautiful kitchen.
My personal favourite has always been the Cool Kitchen collection.
And now it's good news for those living south of the river in London as John Lewis of Hungerford has opened its 11th showroom in leafy Blackheath.
Jon Rosby, Managing Director of John Lewis of Hungerford, comments: "We are very proud and excited to be opening our 11th showroom in Blackheath.

Interview: Emily Bond

We interview British fabric designer Emily Bond
British fabric designer Emily Bond designs beautiful fabrics inspired by animals and the countryside.
We find out more about Emily, her inspiration and her style...
If you had 3 words to describe your style what would they be?
Eclectic, country, fresh
Where does your inspiration come from?
My life, my childhood and all people and animals in it.
What is it that you endears you so much to British countryside?
There is nothing quite like an Autumn day walking with the dogs through the country side, there Is nowhere I'd rather be.
Why do you choose to feature animals in your designs and what do you feel they bring to a variety of home interiors?
I love animals on fabric it brings an element of fun into your interiors, but the way I put them together and the colours and fabrics I use it makes them sophisticated and classic at the same time.
What's your 'hero' product and why?
My blue dachshund tea towel is started the business, people love dachshunds!
How important is pattern and repetition to your designs, and how do you think pattern will continue to keep interior design fresh and exciting?
It's very important and each design is very repetitious which is what I love about my designs. I like simply fresh designs.
What's your favourite material to work with and why?
I love linen because it so natural.
What is the most recent design product that you have bought for your home?
The last product I bought for my home was an Anta foot stool, I love their checks in my home and they complement with my fabrics beautifully.
Where do you like to shop for quirky furniture pieces for your own home?
Reclamation yards.
How important do you think it is for interior design to become more eco-friendly?
I think it's a difficult one, as I agree we must be as eco as possible, I love old things, antiques quirky finds in reclamation yards which are not made in an eco way! So I think if we can bring it into interior design somewhere along the line that can only be a good thing.
What advice would you give to aspiring interior designers?
Go and look for things different and look for small little company like me because we are individual, unique and fresh.
What new projects do you have on the horizon?
A children's collection, which I'm really looking forward to designing.
Bath Button Back 2 Seater Sofa from Graham & Green
by Alexandra Thomas on October 22, 2010 | 0 comments
Add a touch of elegance with this Bath Button Back 2 Seater Sofa from Graham & Green. £1,250
When I live in my Georgian town house (and believe me I will), I will of course need a suitably elegant sofa to match the property.
I always thought I would go for something really modern, a striking juxtaposition against all the period detailing.
However, having found this Bath Button Back sofa from Graham & Green, I have totally changed my mind.
I mean, what's not to love about this truly gorgeous sofa? First off, I adore the shape; elegant and masculine all at the same time, it's simply divine. Secondly, not only does it have a button back (a design passion of mine) but it also has a button seat. And last but definitely not least, I love, love, love the colour of the fabric.
The Georgian town house might be a way off but this sofa definitely isn't - I just need to start saving my pennies!
Woodsman Axe Console Table from Duffy London
by Alexandra Thomas on October 21, 2010 | 0 comments
Inject some fun into your interiors with this Woodsman Axe Console Table from Duffy London. £495
While I am deadly serious about furniture, I like to have some fun with it too.
Which is why I just adore the Woodsman Axe Table Console Table from Duffy London.
Made from walnut or oak veneer, the table's legs are shaped to resemble axes.
Both humorous and practical, this console table is what your hallway has been crying out for.
And if you like the idea of having axes in your home (in a non-violent way of course) then there's a coffee table and dining table too.
Cars range from Ella Doran
by Alexandra Thomas on October 20, 2010 | 0 comments
Embrace a passion for cars with this super cool Cars range from Ella Doran. From £7
Despite not being able to drive (grew up in London and never saw the need) I am obsessed with cars. My first choice would be a vintage Saab 900, followed by a 1960s Mercedes bright red sports car and in third a very unfeminine Lotus Elise.
However, it seems a little ridiculous to buy all these cars (yeah right, like I could even afford them!) when I can't drive.
So I'll just have to fulfil my dreams with the Cars range from Ella Doran.
Available as coasters and a mug, this design is classic Doran. Lots of bright colours and a fun idea but this time nature has been replaced by something man-made.
I love them and think the coasters are just the thing to add a splash of colour to my coffee table. And with Christmas round the corner (there I said it!) they're the perfect present for any car nut.
Ethanol Hurricane Fire from Found Home Store
by Alexandra Thomas on October 19, 2010 | 0 comments
Add the wow factor to autumn dinner parties with one of these Ethanol Hurricane Fires from Found Home Store. £110
When it comes to dressing your table for a dinner party, forget candelabras and tea light holders, what you really need is one of these Ethanol Hurricane Fires from Found Home Store.
Made from metal and glass and available in black, white and chrome, they stand 28cm tall and are the perfect centrepiece for any table.
For maximum impact, try using several along a rectangular table or use in a empty fire place to create a subtle and warming effect.
How to create... the luxe hotel look
by Alexandra Thomas on October 19, 2010 | 0 comments
Give your bedroom the five-star hotel treatment with our tops tips and ideas
We all talk about how we love to stay in luxury hotels, so why not create the look at home? Here's how.
Hotels always have sumptuous armchairs or sofas and it's easy to create this look at home. If you have the space, a small sofa or chaise will add a touch of luxury. We love this Versailles Bedroom Sofa from The French Bedroom Company. Its gilt finishing and silk upholstery is just the ticket if you want to inject some French glamour. To make it extra cosy, add mohair throws and sumptuous cushions for a decadent scheme.
Lighting is all about getting the right atmosphere. Copy the chicest hotels around by adding a multitude of light sources to your boudoir. Start with a stunning chandelier such as the Silver Chain Swallow chandelier from Tigermoth Lighting and add wall lights (The Tom Tom from Diffuse lighting is a good choice). Finish the look with elegant, statement table lamps (try Brissi for a good range) dotted around on bedside tables.
There's nothing nicer than sinking into a hotel bed but if you're a homebody then it's easy to create the same sumptuous feel at home.
Opt for good quality sheets, pillowcases and duvet covers - the best you can afford. The Milan Organic Cotton Waffle collection from The Fine Cotton Company is a good choice and being white provides the perfect canvass for you to add some colour to. To create a really decadent feel, layer up with scatter cushions, throws and bedspread.
So, while we can't promise room service, we can promise that with these tips, you'll turn your bedroom from the mundane to the magnificent.
Just don't forget the Do Not Disturb sign...

Interview: Tracy Kendall
by Emma Foale on October 18, 2010 | 0 comments
Tangible yet beautiful wallpapers: Tracy Kendall designs something a little bit different for your walls.
London based wallpaper designer, Tracy Kendall offers a beautiful collection of contemporary wallpapers and just recently exhibited at Decorex and won an award for her stunning Sequin design.
We caught up with Tracy to find out what inspires her to keep creating and designing...
If you had 3 words to describe your collection what would they be?
Simple, original, touchable.
You recently exhibited at Decorex and won an award for your stunning 'Sequin' wallpaper. What does this mean to you and what do you hope that your wallpapers bring to home interiors?
It means a great deal to me to have such a prestigious award given to me. I work in such a bubble sometimes, I don't design for anyone other than myself and all the collection are my designs so to have such a great recognition of what I do is really special to me. I hope that it can inspire people to take risk but with products that they fall in love with, to have in their home items which have won their heads, rather than their heads all the time, i.e., not the safe option.
Since starting the production of your hand-produced graphic range in 1996, how have you developed and experimented with different designs and scales?
I've moved into more textural work, adding different textures as I find different manufacturing partners along the way. Sometimes the designs can only be made in house, such as the sequins, but with others I have been able to use external specialized manufacturers for which is great.
What inspires you to keep designing and creating?
Curiosity; I love to challenge myself both visually and technically with my work.
You have taken 3-D wallcoverings in a new and exciting direction. So, what are your favourite materials to work with and why do they work so well?
Paper is still my favourite material; having studied fine art printmaking I am always struck by how much paper can do or be made to do.
Your wallpapers could be described as tangible, and I particularly like love the sequins and also the stitched text. Why do you think that wallpaper should be something that will create an impact and evoke a reaction when people see it?
I don't think that is limited to wallpaper, chair or cup can give the same reaction but my chosen medium is wallpaper and by hopefully creating a wallpaper that gives people more than one option of sense in which to view the paper helps to make them fall in love with it.
What is your best selling design from your collection and why?
It's probably still the fork design, the first but it is so simple, so easy to use in the home or commercial spaces, it is big but not over powering, it makes a statement but doesn't yell for attention all the time, it just works very well, thank goodness.
How do you feel that patterned wallpaper will develop, and what direction do you hope it will go in the future in order to keep interior design fresh and exciting?
There are so many new and exciting wallpapers coming out, I hope that they continue to have a aspect of respect for the environments they are going into and don't try to over whelm them, its wallpaper, it is meant to have mirrors and pictures on top of it and chair in front of and your back to it as well!!
How important do you think it is for interior design to become more eco-friendly?
Very, not always in such obvious "what materials" do we use way, it's more about how much we change interiors rather than grow them and how much material we waste as a part of the manufacturing process. as I make to order, I have very little waste, all my waste then goes into sampling for sending out which works very well for me.
What is the most recent design product that you have bought for your home?
Nothing new, brought some amazing brass table legs to make a table up with and then had a friend make the table top for me, a lovely mix of old and new.
What advice would you give to aspiring interior designers?
Have passion, lots of passion.
Is there anyone that you would like to collaborate with in the future and if so why?
I never plan who I am going to work for or with, I love not knowing what or which client will ask me to make whatever for them next, the element of surprise helps to keep everything fresher and better for the client as well.
What are you working on now or do you have anything in the pipeline?
I've just finished a new design to be launched at Maison and Object in Jan 2011 and I'm also working on another to launch there as well and doing lots of projects for mainly domestic clients at the moment but have a restaurant in London that I am also working closely with and a shop opening in Vancouver which will stock my work which is exciting as well.
House numbers from Tillie Mint
by Alexandra Thomas on October 18, 2010 | 0 comments
Add some pattern and colour to your front door with these patterned door numbers from Tillie Mint. £22
Living in a flat means I sometimes have issues being found. Despite the fact by door is clearly marked 18A, postmen, delivery men and takeaway drivers all have "issues" with finding me.
I've lost count of the number of times I've had to run down the drive, screaming "it's me" after the peeps at 18 have explained that they haven't ordered an Indian takeaway or a new pair of boots. To say it's tiresome is an understatement.
However, this will soon be a thing of the past thanks to these fabulous door numbers from Tillie Mint.
Made from weatherproof wood, these little squares have been given the pattern treatment and are the perfect way to add colour to your front door.
I like the Black/Grey design but if you want something a little more colourful then the floral designs are just the ticket.
And I am more than confident that with this on my front door, no longer will there be a queue of confused delivery people scratching their heads wondering where 18A is...

CH109 Cowhide rug from London Cows
by Alexandra Thomas on October 17, 2010 | 0 comments
Instantly cosy up your floors with this Cowhide rug from London Cows £185
Now it's a bit chillier, the wooden floors in my flat that were so deliciously cool during the balmy summer are now a little cold underfoot, which means it's time to invest in a new rug.
My bedroom floor in particular is crying out for something hardwearing, sumptuous and chic and I think I've found the perfect thing.
London Cows has lots of beautiful cowhide rugs but my favourite is this CH109 design. Hailing all the way for Colombia, this rug is a gorgeous brown and white, which will add pattern and texture to the coldest of rooms.
Homemaker bookcase from Liam Treanor
by Alexandra Thomas on October 16, 2010 | 0 comments
Keep your books in check with this simple yet oh-so-stylish Homemaker bookcase from Liam Treanor. £350
Sometimes I go to people's houses and I am shocked to not see any books on display. Do they not read? I think to myself. Where is their collection?
It's probably because I am fiercely proud of my (ok and the boy's) collection. It fills every imaginable space in our dining room and I love it.
Having said that, we're fast running out of space and seeing though I've never been one who can bear to throw away books (for me this is total sacrilege) I have been on the look out for a freestanding bookcase to take some of the pressure off the bulging shelves.
Thankfully, I think I have found just the thing.
The Homemaker bookcase by Liam Treanor may seem simple to some but I love the elegant shape and no-fuss style of this design.
It reminds me of school libraries which is where I assume my love affair with seeing books neatly in a row began.
Plus, this brilliant lime green is guaranteed to add a pop of colour to any room and if green aint your thing, then I am reliably informed by Liam himself that the bookcase is available in lots of of colours.

House magazine rack from Rockett St George

Keep your magazines in check with this super cool magazine rack from Rockett St George. £32
I've been after a magazine rack since my old one collapsed under the sheer weight of back issues of interiors mags a few months ago.
Despite trawling various online boutiques and vintage shops, I couldn't quite find one I liked enough, that was until now.
I have fallen hook, line and sinker for this metal House magazine rack from Rockett St George.
Made from steel, this nifty rack is designed to look like, yes you've guessed it, a house.
Complete with a chimney, the rack is neatly divided into sections so you can store and protect your mags.
The Flying Pigs from Kitty & Dude
by Alexandra Thomas on October 14, 2010 | 0 comments
Add some animal magic to your walls with these flying pigs from Kitty & Dude. £22 each
My dad was a massive Pink Floyd fan and my Granddad worked at Battersea Power Station, so it's no surprise that the band's Animal album cover always made me chuckle.
On a separate note, aside from dogs, pigs are my favourite animals. Probably because the hero in my favourite childhood book was a French pig called Partouche who always ate the cabbages.
Which is why I absolutely adore these Flying Pigs from Kitty & Dude.
A twist on the ubiquitous Hilda Odgen flying ducks, these delightful pigs are available in a range of patterns but my favourites are the Delft-inspired floral and black and red Willow pattern.
Perfect for adding a touch of kitsch chic to your walls, the pigs will make a change from your usual choice of artwork.
I can't wait to get my hands (or should that be trotters?!) on them and put them on my living room wall.

Happy Birds cushions by Roddy & Ginger
by Alexandra Thomas on October 13, 2010 | 0 comments
Add some retro flair with these Happy Birds cushions from Roddy & Ginger. £25
I have a thing about retro textiles, which I mostly attribute to a 70s bedspread my Mum had when I was growing up. It had huge, brightly coloured flowers and was my favourite, so the passion for all things retro obviously started at a young age.
Which is why I adore the range of cushions from Roddy & Ginger. The sweetest owls sit alongside bold geometric prints but my pick is these Happy Birds cushions.
Available in teal and turquoise and grey and olive, they're screenprinted onto natural linen and hand made.
I love the vibrant colours and gorgeous attention to detail in the design.
Perfect for adding a pop of colour to a living room or bedroom, I'm going to use mine on a neutral chair.

Interview: Somerville Scott & Company
by Emma Foale on October 12, 2010 | 0 comments
Bringing together traditional English craft with a fresh and modern approach, Somerville Scott & Company's collection will embellish any home interior
Devoted to producing beautifully crafted furniture, Somerville Scott and Company's collection of furniture, rugs, cabinetry, desks and tables offers distinctive style and a modern elegance.
We caught up with Amy Somerville and Stuart Scott to discover more about their ambition and style...
If you had 3 words to describe your style what would they be?
Sumptuous, precisionist, modernist.
What is your company's 'Hero' product and why?
Our curiosity cabinets encompass what Amy and I are able to achieve but the Minx chair was the first product that got us noticed – so it would have to be that.
As a British based design company, how do you feel about interior design becoming more eco-friendly? And how will this improve the quality and durability of interior furnishings in the future?
Product longevity is important, if you design with that in mind with the use of better quality materials and construction methods then the piece becomes eco-friendly, you're investing in a product for life. If it becomes tired over time then you can simply re-upholster it, instead of throwing it away. Designers can help in considering schemes that have a longer shelf life.
What inspires the combination of modernity and traditional style of your furniture and cabinetry?
Just looking at antiques and how pieces used to be made. Some of the furniture that came out of the Art Deco period was so rich in its use of materials and finishes. Nowadays it's difficult to replicate these details as materials increase in price, and the craftspeople that are able to achieve this level of quality in furniture are becoming increasingly rare and sought after.
Do you have a favourite traditional piece of furniture?
I've always been drawn to works by people like Jean-Michel Frank, Pierre Legrain and Ruhlmann. Amy and I both agree that the 'Skyscraper' bookcase by Frankl is a bit special.
You have a small range of stunning handmade rugs, what makes your rug collection unique from anything we have seen before?
Our choice of subject matter is often quite unique, the colours and the quality of weave tell them apart.
What is the most recent design product that you have bought for your home?
On a practical level a Dyson vacuum cleaner, on an indulgent level I picked up a Rover Chair by Ron Arad at a recent auction, although it turned out to be a fake, I was mortified!
What advice would you give to aspiring interior designers?
Think practically and design with the user in mind.
Is there anyone that you would like to collaborate with in the future and if so why?
Always used to be Ettore Sottsass but that wouldn't be possible now. It would have been interesting and quite mad. In terms of a contemporary brand on a purely self-indulgent level it would have to be Aston Martin. We could do a pretty special limited edition interior.
What's next for Somerville Scott & Company?
Keep designing! Producing more furniture that people aspire to own.

I adore this collection and can't wait to get some of these in my home.

text: Hey Ladies! So I have a quick question for you. I had my 12 week appt this last week and now personally feel comfortable telling the people at my job. I teach 5th grade and live in a small town. We've told a few people .... but it's really starting to get around town so I feel like I better make the announcement at my job before they all hear before I tell them. Also... I want to just tell my students at the same time. Initially I wanted to wait to tell them until I couldn't possibly hide it any longer...but I'm second guessing that because once the other teachers know I feel like the kids will find out anyway....so I guess my question for you is - do you think 12 weeks is too early to tell 5th graders? What would you do?

First book in NUMA series, Serpent by Clive Cussler
Advantages: Fast action, lots of history
Disadvantages: Maybe weaker character development and writing than previous Cussler books
...Serpent is a novel by thriller writer Clive Cussler. For those familiar with the works of Cussler, they normally involve a character called Dirk Pitt, but this book marks the arrival of a new character, Kurt Austin. The book is the first in the NUMA series of books, of which more have since been released since this title was published.
The basic plot is that a group called "The Brotherhood" try...

Medsphere Systems Corporation today congratulated customer and partner Guadalupe County Hospital on becoming a Health Information Management and Systems Society (HIMSS) Analytics Stage 6 hospital. The second highest level of the HIMSS Analytics' Electronic Medical Record Adoption Model (EMRAM), Stage 6 requirements include the demonstrated use of electronic physician documentation, clinical decision support, computerized provider order entry and closed-loop medication administration, among other clinical support tools.
The designation puts Guadalupe in an elite minority; only about 8.5 percent of American hospitals have qualified for HIMSS Analytics Stage 6, according to the organization. As one of the smallest Stage 6 hospitals, Guadalupe is representative of thousands of similar healthcare facilities nationwide that live close to the financial margins and still manage to provide crucial local healthcare services.
"I want to offer our most sincere congratulations to hospital CEO Christina Campos and her staff for meeting Stage 6 requirements. They are the ones who made this happen," said Medsphere President and CEO Irv Lichtenwald. "When you consider the size, location and resource constraints Guadalupe is working with, this is certainly a significant accomplishment. It's also a testament to the fact that technology-enabled improvements in patient care are available to just about any hospital with the necessary will and vision."
Before and since going live with Medsphere's OpenVista® electronic health record (EHR) in June of last year, Guadalupe and Medsphere have actively collaborated on several training, workflow redesign and clinical transformation initiatives. Through these efforts, Guadalupe qualified for federal Meaningful Use Stage 1 funds in November.
"HIMSS Analytics Stage 6 status is external validation of the tremendous work the clinicians and staff have done here at Guadalupe," said Campos. "I would be no less proud of the commitment they've made without it, but I appreciate confirmation of improvements in patient care and a more efficient workplace. Our partnership with Medsphere is just that, and it has created better healthcare for our patients at a cost we can afford, which is saying something, really."
Guadalupe follows in the footsteps of Medsphere customer and partner Midland Memorial Hospital. Midland was one of the first 11 hospitals in the United States to meet HIMSS Analytics Stage 6 requirements, doing so for roughly one-third the average cost of the other 10 hospitals and in about half the average time.
About Guadalupe County Hospital
Guadalupe County Hospital is a general medical facility providing adult and pediatric care. With a full-time staff of 45, including administrative staff, this 10-bed acute care hospital handles roughly 250 admissions and 2,500 emergency room visits per year. Located in Santa Rosa, N.M., 117 miles east of Albuquerque on Interstate 40, Guadalupe serves the entire county of fewer than 4700 people.
About Medsphere and OpenVista
Founded in 2002 and based in Carlsbad, Calif., Medsphere Systems Corporation is an award-winning organization of clinical and technology professionals working to make quality health IT solutions accessible to organizations of virtually any size, shape or budget. Medsphere's OpenVista is a portfolio of clinical support products and professional services that leverages an electronic health record (EHR) system developed by the Department of Veterans Affairs. This VistA EHR is widely credited with helping transform the VA into the nation's most efficient and clinically effective healthcare organization. OpenVista, the most fully commercialized VistA offspring, is a responsible reapplication of the VA's $8.5 billion investment, which recent studies show have yielded $3.09 billion in benefits, primarily from the near elimination of medication administration issues and duplicate testing.
Medsphere's subscription-based pricing model enables hospital, clinic and integrated delivery network customers to pay for OpenVista from their operating budget with no upfront costs or back-end balloon payments. Expert implementation and other services facilitate fluid and rapid transition to a paperless clinical environment focusing on best practices and evidence-based medicine in six to nine months. Medsphere also actively nurtures the Healthcare Open Source Ecosystem, a global community of customers, partners, developers and other online collaborators who drive OpenVista innovation, and provide a parallel development and support structure.

The security devil is always in the details of the attack: the ones you've endured, the ones you prepare yourself to fend off, and the ones that, you fear, will catch you completely unaware and defenseless. The Internet of Things (IoT) is nothing if not an endless proliferation of details. It's the vision of a world in which continuous Internet connectivity and addressability is embedded into a growing range of human artifacts, into the natural world, and even into our smartphones, appliances, and physical persons.

The Internet of Things is tied together with a thin strand that is known as time. Coincidentally, at the core of nearly all data analytics is a timestamp. When working with time series data there are a few core principles that everyone should consider, especially across datasets where time is the common boundary.

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

The Domain Name Service (DNS) is one of the most important components in networking infrastructure, enabling users and services to access applications by translating URLs (names) into IP addresses (numbers). Because every icon and URL and all embedded content on a website requires a DNS lookup loading complex sites necessitates hundreds of DNS queries. In addition, as more internet-enabled 'Things' get connected, people will rely on DNS to name and find their fridges, toasters and toilets.

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

Petition aims at OPG rate increase
The Ontario Clean Air Alliance objects to application to raise base rate for nuclear output.

Share via Email
A clean air lobby group has launched a petition against Ontario Power Generation's application for a rate increase.
The application to the Ontario Energy Board, filed earlier this fall, would increase the base rate OPG is paid for its nuclear output by 30 per cent as of Jan. 1.
That's excessive, the Ontario Clean Air Alliance argues in an online petition.
The petition, addressed to the leaders of all political parties at Queen's Park, argues that Ontario should be importing surplus hydro power from Quebec instead of pouring more money into its nuclear fleet.
OPG's application covers the rates it is paid for output from its nuclear reactors and big hydro stations, which are regulated by the Ontario Energy Board (OEB).
Privately owned generators don't face OEB scrutiny. They negotiate contracts with the Ontario Power Authority, or sell into the wholesale market, instead of going before the energy board.
OPG argues that its rates have not changed since 2008.
"If OPG was granted our full request, it would mean a four per cent increase on the total consumer bill," the company says. That's an increase of $5.36 a month.
The increased rate would still hold OPG's rates below the average received by other generators, the company says.
It says the money is needed for several reasons:
OPG says it needs higher rates during the construction period because "our costs need to be borne over a smaller amount of production while we accomplish this work."
The Darlington re-fit is the target of the petition.
"The government should negotiate a long-term contract for safer and cleaner water power from Quebec that will cost less than half of what power from OPG's re-built Darlington reactors will cost," it states.
Jack Gibbons of the clean air alliance said in an interview that power from the refurbished Darlington plant will cost 8.6 cents a kilowatt hour. Meanwhile, Quebec Hydro has exported power for 4.1 cents a kilowatt hour, he said.
Gibbons said the petition is being launched because the government, as OPG's shareholder, is the key to blocking the Darlington project.
"It's a decision that can only be made by Premier Wynne," he said. "We have to go to the political level to win this."
"By cancelling the project and importing low-cost power from Quebec she can dramatically lower our energy bill."
Neal Kelly, a spokesman for OPG, said the energy board is the forum to argue the merits of the application.
The clean air alliance is just one intervener that will present "a wide variety of views" at the board, he said.
The hearing will allow the public to hear "the full picture versus one perspective by this one advocate," he said.
OPG was harshly criticized last week by the province's auditor-general for letting its executive ranks swell, and for operating a pension plan that's far more costly than pensions in the public service.

Tha Dogg Pound - Westside Rydin'
Artist: Tha Dogg Pound
Producer: FredWreck
Album: That Was Then, This Is Now
Avg Rating: 3.5 ( 19 votes )
Gangsta rap devotees rejoice! Kurupt and Daz Dillinger of The Dogg Pound are back in the Booth with a brand new single off their long-awaited eighth studio album. Westside Rydin' finds the Cali icons doing just as the title says: rolling along the city streets with some fine
ladies, enjoying some high-quality kush and annihilating the sucker emcees along the way. FredWreck's's classic Left Coast blend of ominous piano chords, woozy string riffs and funky guitar accents set the stage for characteristically hard-nosed verses from the rap vets. As usual Kurupt's winding rhymes and Dillinger's gruffer bars (punctuated with "brrrap!" sound effects) go together like gin and juice, and the end product will likely get the thumbs-up from longtime fans and neophytes alike. Those who like what they're hearing should remember to ride down to their local record stores in November, when Tha Dogg Pound's That Was Then, This Is Now LP drops via Fontana and Dillinger's own D.P.G. Recordz.

When I first visited Sam's bungalow while dating long-distance, he had glass jars perched on the kitchen shelves to house his beans and grains, all beautifully labeled and lettered. I knew I'd stumbled into something good. On my second visit to Seattle, he broke out the jar of lentils and set out to make me his "famous lentils." I was a bit skeptical as to how famous they could really be — I'd always known them to be the reliable base for an easy vegetarian soup or the stuff of hippy deli salads. But that afternoon we made hot tea and ate the lentils standing up over the stove, straight from the pot. With the first bite I told Sam — only half kidding — never to make the famous lentils for another woman. They are that good. We've joked about that afternoon ever since, me playfully insisting that I'd marry him for his lentils alone. Well, on our drive down to San Francisco a few weeks ago, that promise became more true than ever.
Committing, With Lentils
Meet The Cookbook: Whole-Grain Mornings
It's New Years Day and, in truth, I'm left a bit speechless. It's time to formally introduce you to Whole-Grain Mornings (it's now officially on sale and appearing in the world!), but I've been sitting here for what feels like hours trying to figure out exactly what to say. There's a quote by Mozart (although some attribute it to an anonymous Zen master) that reads: "The music is not in the notes, but in the silence between." That is how I feel after a busy whirlwind year with little real time for reflection. The year has been full of lots of work, traffic, a new lease for Marge, granola accounts, and conference calls. It's been full of bringing a book to life, nourishing a relationship, and building a home. But it's funny how those things don't start to really settle in and the bigness of it all isn't truly felt until all the traffic and email and noise just … stop. So today has been a wonderfully uneventful, quiet day. Sam and I went out for breakfast and made a list of our intentions and goals for the year while toasting my book over biscuit sandwiches and numerous cups of coffee. I can't imagine a more fitting way to usher this lady into the world. So while, for me, the meaning has really come from the quiet — let's talk about this very special recipe for a moment. And because we're going to celebrate right, I'd love to give away a copy of Whole-Grain Mornings to a reader (you?) this week, too. Continue Reading »
A Winter Spice Cookie
I know, I know. A cookie recipe on Christmas? I had lofty goals of doing a few whole-grain cookie recipes for you this season and then — the season really flew by, didn't it? But if you're anything like our family, there is a lot of down time together during this week and making (and eating) cookies is a nice break amidst wrapping and last minute errands. Plus, this cookie is decidedly wintery and could easily be bookmarked for a slow weekend in January or February instead — they're warmly spiced; boast ground and candied ginger, a kiss of citrus, and a fragrant combination of both honey and molasses. If you're an afternoon tea drinker, these have your name all over them. Continue Reading »
To Talk Porridge
Porridge is not the sexiest of breakfasts, it's true. It doesn't have a stylish name like strata or shakshuka, and it doesn't have perfectly domed tops like your favorite fruity muffin. It doesn't crumble into delightful bits like a good scone nor does it fall into buttery shards like a well-made croissant. But when you wake up and it's 17 degrees outside (as it has been, give or take a few, for the last week), there's nothing that satisfies like a bowl of porridge or oatmeal. It's warm and hearty and can be made sweet or savory with any number of toppings. The problem? Over the years, it's gotten a bad rap as gluey or gummy or just downright boring or dutiful — and it's because not everyone knows the secrets to making a great pot of warm morning cereal. So let's talk porridge (also: my cookbook comes out this month! So let's take a peek inside, shall we?) Continue Reading »
The In Between Time
This year in particular, it seems to be a race to transition from fall to winter and start thinking about gingerbread and gifts and holiday travel — when really we just got home from Thanksgiving a few days ago. Regardless, we're feeling it here too: this afternoon we'll head out to buy our tree at the Boy Scout lot down the road and stop off for clam chowder at Ivar's — a new but fierce tradition in our house. Sam will hang some lights outside, and at some point this week we'll string popcorn and cranberries on the tree, hang a wreath on the front door, and nuzzle garland on the shelf above the fireplace. There's a rumor it might even snow tomorrow — I won't hold my breath. But I would like to hold my breath and hope to prolong the in between time we find ourselves in now as we look back on one holiday and ahead to another. I'd like to draw it out as much as possible this year. Continue Reading »
How to Break a Thanksgiving Tradition
I got a text from my mom the other day that read: demerara sugar? I responded back with a question mark, not sure what she was referencing. It turns out she was experimenting with a new pie recipe that called for the natural sugar and wasn't sure why she couldn't just use white sugar as that's what she's always done in the past. A few days later we talked on the phone and she mentioned she'd let me take charge of the salad for Thanksgiving this year as long as there was no kale. No kale! And I wanted to do the mashed potatoes? Would they still be made with butter and milk? In short, we're always willing to mix things up in the Gordon household. Whether it's inspiration from a food magazine, friend or coworker, either my mom or one of my sisters will often have an idea for something new to try at the holiday table. But what I've slowly learned is that it can't really be that different: there must be pumpkin pie, the can of cranberry sauce is necessary even though not many people actually eat it, the onion casserole is non-negotiable, the salad can't be too out there, and the potatoes must be made with ample butter and milk. And while I was really scheming up an epic kale salad to make this year, there's a big part of me that gets it, too: if we change things too much we won't recognize the part of the day that comes to mean so much: the pure recognition. We take comfort in traditions because we recognize them — because they're always there, year after year. And so today I present to you (mom, are you reading?): this year's Gordon family Thanksgiving salad.
At Long Last
Happy November, friends. I'm sorry it's been so long since I've posted a new recipe. There's been a lot of newness around here lately and I've been so looking forward to telling you about it, but then I sit down to write a post and the words haven't felt quite right. I've gotten good at realizing this means it's time to step away until I can't wait to sit down and pick it up again — and that's exactly how I felt this morning. So at long last, a new recipe for a truly delightful boozy apple cake using apples we picked in the Eastern part of the state a few weeks ago (I have a fall crush on this cake, and know that it will be a 'do again' in our kitchen very soon). And also at long last: some news I've been excited to share with you. Continue Reading »
Fall Mornings
Lately I've been waking up like clockwork at 7:30, rolling out of bed and getting right to work. I'm up a good hour before Sam on most days, so I start the coffee and sit down at our breakfast nook and begin prioritizing emails. Some days I don't get up again until it's time for lunch (it's been a big month: more on that very soon), and work can really cloak the whole day in a way that can make it tough to differentiate a Tuesday from a Saturday. And then a book and a conversation can change that quite suddenly, too, and introduce a new morning routine. Even if just for a day or two. Such was the case with these whole-grain pancakes. Continue Reading »
A Change of Plans
Last week Sam and I were supposed to head to Olympic National Park to stay in an old lakeside cabin for a few nights. Lake Crescent, to be exact: a crystal clear spot complete with a rickety traditional lodge, canoes, hiking trails and hot springs. We'd planned the trip months before and were both so looking forward to some much needed downtime, but because of the government shutdown all of the National Parks were affected so we received a call the morning we were to head out of town that we should stay home. Sam was still in bed at the time; I'd been up early packing and laying out sweaters and novels and getting big thermoses of coffee ready. As I began putting away the sweaters and novels and setting the thermoses of coffee aside, I became more and more disappointed. I crawled back into bed and broke the news to Sam. Not surprisingly, he exclaimed with a smile, "where should we go instead?!" This is a 'roll with the punches' gene that I do not have. A few hours later we were in the car headed to Portland, where we had two memorable meals, a handful of great cocktails, a number of good neighborhood strolls and one very fine piece of pie. Continue Reading »
Slowly, Fall
Here's the thing: working the farmers markets in the summer isn't all that bad. There are sun-kissed peaches, warm breezes and happy customers. There are sunflower-toting toddlers, sweet tomatoes and wily dogs. But let's say September hits and it starts raining in Seattle. Really raining. When this happens, there is a noticeable lack of peaches, warm breezes and happy customers — all replaced, instead, with soaking wet tents, soggy bags of granola, and zero shoppers It's been that kind of a week. But thankfully, I've long had a big crush on fall and this year is proving to be no different. Despite the time I've had to work at the markets, the rain has actually been really nice. We bought some new bedroom furniture, I've been baking muffins and cooking fall soups, and FIGS. Hello, roasted figs. And hello, simple whole-grain breakfast parfaits. Continue Reading »
