Bail/Bond Hearings
Our attorneys regularly represent people at bail hearings or preliminary hearings. A bail hearing is when a magistrate or circuit court judge sets an amount of money that the person must put up in order to be released from jail pending trial. It is important to have an attorney early in order to receive a favorable bail hearing and fight for a reasonable bond so that you or your loved one will not have to stay in jail awaiting trial. If you or a loved one is arrested, call our office as soon as possible to have representation at your bail hearing.
A preliminary hearing is a probable cause hearing wherein the State must present enough evidence to a magistrate to have your case forwarded to General Sessions. It is important to have an attorney at your preliminary hearing to ensure the State presents adequate evidence to the magistrate and to learn everything they can about your case. Furthermore, it may be important to have the preliminary hearing transcribed so that officers can not say one thing at the preliminary hearing and say something else at trial. You need someone to protect your rights and aggressively defend you at every step of the proceedings.

Motorcycle auction yields $52,000 for Veterans Count
Friday, January 31, 2014
PORTSMOUTH — The recent Barrett-Jackson live auction, which aired on Fox Sports, brought in $52,000 to Veterans Count, a program of Easter Seals NH. Veterans Count provides emergency funding to New Hampshire veterans and their families.
Steve Talarico of DIRICO introduced the U.S. Marine Corps bike to the bidders. Bidding for this bike stalled at $14,000 until Steve Davis, president of Barrett-Jackson, stepped forward to make the final bid of $26,000. He then donated the U.S. Marine Corps tribute bike back to Veterans Count and will re-auction it in April at the Palm Beach Auction. |

Survey cites Amazon Kindle Fire likes and dislikes
Amazon sold about 5 million Kindles in the first couple months of sales. So, what do users like and dislike about it? A survey provides some answers.
Amazon's Kindle Fire falls short of the iPad in a satisfaction survey but has some big upsides, said market researcher Changewave Research in a note released Thursday.
The Kindle Fire has become surprisingly popular because it's affordable yet versatile for its price. And the numbers bear this out.
Bob O'Donnell of IDC told CNET this week that he believes Amazon shipped just under five million units in the latest quarter. "That's huge. Remember they didn't ship until early November so that's essentially two months," O'Donnell said. (Amazon does not reveal exact numbers.)
So, what do all of these users like about the Fire? Cost overwhelming but the screen and ease of use rank up there too (see chart below).
That said, it isn't the iPad's equal in overall satisfaction rating.
"While the 54 percent Very Satisfied rating for the Kindle Fire is considerably below the 74 percent rating of the industry leading Apple iPad, it is higher than the 49 percent average rating for all of the other tablet devices combined," Changewave said.
And what do users dislike about the Fire? No volume button ranks first in dislikes, while the lack of camera is second, and battery life third (see chart).
ChangeWave also asked shoppers where they'll be spending their money online over the next 90 days and found that Amazon continues to outperform all of the other major online retailers included in the survey combined (see chart at bottom).
"One-in-five respondents (20 percent) say they'll spend more money online at Amazon.com vs. 11 percent less--numbers that overwhelmingly dwarf the other online retailers surveyed," Changewave said.

Extras from the Winter 2013 issue of Franciscan Way Magazine
Back in 1962, the second year of the new school on the hill, the cafeteria food was stark and at times unrecognizable, but it was what the budget would allow. We survived! As a favorite food, I suppose it would have been spaghetti and meatballs.
My favorite foods were off campus. John's Sausage Shop had the best sausage sandwich—35 cents in the mid '60s. DeFederico's offered the one and only heel sandwich, a half loaf of Italian bread stuffed with meatballs, for 50 cents.
Ice cream sundaes were sold in the lounge below the cafeteria. We had study hours in our room, I believe from 6 to 8 p.m., and then we ran over to the lounge and indulged in a sundae made with maple walnut on vanilla ice cream. The sundae was topped, of course, with whipped cream and a cherry. It was a weekly treat; there was no money to treat ourselves more often.
Pizza from DiCarlo's was the favorite in the mid-'60s. They would deliver before that was the thing to do. I can still taste the yummy slices.
My favorite food item while attending college was the fantastic sausage sandwich served at John's Sausage Shop. I've never had such a great tasting sandwich before or after my days in Steubenville. I'm sure that the calories and cholesterol were minimal. This was a major dining spot for all of the brothers of Lambda Chi Alpha. How many of you graduates remember the nickname of this establishment?
My favorite food was a late-night sausage sandwich with a thick slice of smoky provolone cheese, grilled to perfection and packaged with a nickel's worth of peps (pepperoncini peppers) from "Pimpy John's Sausage Shop."
Your mouth would water while waiting in line at 11 p.m. or midnight at John's Sausage Shop. John would slice off a length of raw sausage, slice it down the long side, and slap in onto the hot flat grill. As it heated up, you could see the pool of hot melted pork fat pooling around the sizzling meat. As the ends of the meat would begin to curl up, John would slap the meat flat several times before flipping it and throwing on a thick slice of fresh provolone. The cheese would melt and flow over the pooled pork fat on the grill and begin to bubble up and eventually get crispy around the edges.
When done to John's satisfaction, he would slide his spatula under the meat and cheese and insert it onto the roll and wrap it. Next, he would dunk his hand into the institutional size jar of pepperoncinis, grab a handful, throw them in wax paper and fold it up. John would then call out, "Sausage anna cheese, nickel's wortha peps, I put 'em in da bag, you take 'em out!" John is gone, as is his shop, but for all the late-nighters in the Ville, his memory lives on in our minds, hearts, and stomachs.
My favorite food of all time was the sausage sandwich from "Pimpy John's." Its sodium, fat, and cholesterol content would be outlawed today, but back in the late '60s it took the edge off many a late night of studying or otherwise!
No doubt, for me it was my favorite drink in the cafeteria! I lived on half chocolate milk/half Sprite! I enjoyed a glass at the 1960s/1970s reunion recently. Felt like old times!
By far, the favorite was the sausage and cheese sandwiches at "Pimpy John's" in town!
We brought friends and girlfriends from all over the country home with us, and treating them to a few hours in the city and to a classic slice of the best pizza in the country (with Pepe's in New Haven, Connecticut, the only exception). That remains a fond memory for both John Fischer '83 and me. I even have a photo of my then future wife and me standing on the top of the World Trade Towers from November of 1980.
John's Sausage Shop was a favorite for "College" students of the late '60s and early '70s. My other two favorites were Capri Sausage Shop and, of course, DiCarlo's Pizza. There were some students who couldn't stand the local pizza, but for me, it brings back great memories of my happy college years.
John's Sausage Shop was, hands down, the best! The heel sandwiches made from local, good, bread sold from a downtown restaurant were great and affordable, but I do not recall the name of that fine establishment. The Ice House was good in an emergency.
In the cafeteria, the Whopper-style hamburger was very good. Meatloaf with mashed potato and fresh/frozen vegetables, chocolate milk, whole milk, and weekend breakfasts were good, too. The pasta in red gravy was good sometimes; it was better during my last two years! Howard, the chef, tried hard. The manager was a good basketball player, I recall. He would talk with the students!
I went to dinner at Naples with 16 friends last fall. It was professional, had a good family atmosphere, and offered great gravy now and back in the day.
There was a food counter in the student union center and almost every day I would get two hot dogs with ketchup and pickles. They always tasted great after Professor Ed Kelly's accounting class. We ate lunch then played euchre!
I liked cream sticks and coffee from the student union first thing in the morning with my friend Debbie Hoppel.
My favorite food during college was the meat sauce heel. I can honestly say that I was not crazy about the cafeteria food.
Some of my favorite foods at Steubie U: The meatball heel and hot sausage heel from Capri, and in the dorm, I liked popcorn (made in the old fashioned popcorn maker with oil) and Kraft Mac 'n Cheese.
I wish I could say it was the delicious, fresh salad bar that was added to the dish du jour in the early '80s, but I really remember scraping up enough people and money to get pizza off campus, or calling around to see who wanted to get subs at the Ice House at the bottom of the hill or eat the greasiest but best egg rolls somewhere on the strip. Another favorite was Hu Nan's, which is still located downtown. As a back up, I chose the pop/soda and candy bars at the bookstore.
I will never forget trying to make breakfast for Father Denny! I also remember making sacrament bread for Easter with flour, salt, and water. They wanted a large loaf to visualize it. I told them not to bless it because it would be hard as a rock—I made it in the dorm!
DiCarlo's Pizza at midnight.
I loved the cafeteria's broccoli and cheese soup—thick and creamy and yummy. I have traveled and eaten in a lot of restaurants, and no one can beat it. I remember the word would leak out that it was on the menu and you had to get to the cafe for lunch early in order to get some. It would "sell" out fast. I wish I had the recipe.
There used to be (and maybe it's still there) a Chinese restaurant on the main street in Steubenville. The "Happy Family" was delicious! During my first year at Steubie U (before dorm and cafeteria life), my roomie Pam introduced me to eggplant, tomatoes, and tofu cooked in a crockpot. It was pretty good for poor MA student food.
Fave food: split between gravy and fries from the Diner in Weirton and Father Sam's finals week potato fries.
Former student Mary (Stevens) Coclasure made caramel banana pie for the Handmaids of the Lord by boiling cans of sweetened condensed milk. I still make the pie for my family. It was a hit at the Handmaids "cake walk" when households did a carnival event in '88-'89.
My favorite food was, of course, bacon in the a.m. at the cafe. Bacon on toasted buttered cinnamon raisin bread with a coffee.
How about the place that served several different levels of hot wings in the basement bar but had home-style fancy dining up on top? It was just over the border in West Virginia.
Trying all the international dishes when the ISO had its annual festival!
Domino's Pizza.
My favorite breakfast was grape juice from the machines and granola from the cafeteria. I figured out dairy did not agree with me. I also realized Ohio needed a little spice in life, so I coordinated with the Louisianans to supply the cafeteria with a bulk size of Tony Chachere's spices. We always had some handy on the salad bar. Now I understand it is always present.
I lived off campus and cooked spaghetti for a few friends, using a ton of garlic in my red sauce. After eating, we went to the Hahn's house to say hello. Kimberly made a face like, "Wow that is a really strong smell," and said we reeked of garlic. I told her it was to keep the vampires and our friends away. Eat well, and smell of garlic!
I do remember that Mary Ellen (McCarron '92) Cross loved Cap'n Crunch Berries. How do I know? I remember Rich Cross '92 going over to the cereal dispenser and picking out just the crunch berries for her.
I found my favorite and most satisfying meal by stretching myself to new understanding by going to the sacrament of penance and keeping my standards high in receiving Jesus. Partaking of this meal was my greatest highlight at the University. I still praise the Lord, as well as my forefathers, for having me present at Franciscan University of Steubenville from the fall of 1994 to the spring 1998 and for a brief time in the summer of 2000.
I was addicted to Nutty Bars from the vending machine and scrambled eggs with cheese from the cafe. When I was in Austria for a semester, I loved all the foods, but the cravings I gave into the most were Milka bars and Kaiser rolls with butter and jelly.
My favorite food in college was Papa John's pepperoni pizza late at night. It still reminds me of college to this day.
Papa John's Pizza!
I enjoyed all of the Chinese dishes in the cafeteria and any Mexican food, because they were the closest I could get to Caribbean food. I missed Trinidad soul food with its unique spices.
Back when Papa John's was still a little Midwest chain, it was, of course, the favorite of many students. Our relationship went a little deeper. During the first semester of my freshman year, I roomed with my sister, Rose Kennedy '97, and lived next door to my future household sister, Emily Snyder '99, who were both taking Professor Robert Englert's Shakespeare course.
The class required weekly play sheets in which each scene, character, and plot device had to be carefully dissected and explained in painful detail. Since Rose and Emily procrastinated every week, it became a bit of tradition to order Papa John's around 10 p.m. to start the all nighter. Back then, a double order of breadsticks was only $4.75, just shy of the required $5 for delivery. Therefore, we always ordered a "double order of breadsticks with a side of marinara," bringing the total to $5.15. It didn't take long until the Papa John's employees would see our number on caller ID and say, "Your usual? Rose, Susan, or Emily?" One evening we were working in the common room when one of Rosie's gentleman callers answered the phone. Thus, our personal lives became of great interest to the employees, complete with their opinions and advice. By the end of the year, we would call on Monday nights around 10 p.m., and rather than give our order, we'd just chat with the employee until our order was sent out.
That spring, Rosie graduated while Emily and I moved to the third floor Tommy More Bellwether wing. Without any Englert classes to encourage late night noshing, it was several weeks before we made our first pizza call of the year. Yet, when we called, "a double order of breadsticks with a side of marinara" wasn't even out of our mouths before the Papa John's employee excitedly yelled, "Emily! Susan! We've missed you!"
Delivered Papa John's pizza and bread sticks with garlic and cheese sauce!
Anything from the Pub!
During my freshman year, I liked Dr. Pepper and microwave popcorn. On Sunday nights during my sophomore year as a cafe worker, I'd put my plate of chicken nuggets in the warmer and eat when I got off. Chicken nuggets with honey and fresh pineapple. In my senior year I worked at Lancelot's and would eat their homemade dinner rolls with Ranch dressing. (Oh, how I miss that!) Every year I loved Papa John's, and during Lent, pineapple pizza. Yum! I miss Papa John's so much.
I loved the banana pancakes served every other Thursday morning, and another snack I remember was a toasted bagel with cream cheese and strawberry yogurt. I also liked Whatchamacallit candy bars and beer bread.
My favorite college food was probably Papa John's pizza and breadsticks. It was relatively inexpensive to have delivered, several people could go in on it, and it was a welcome break from cafeteria food. I can still taste Papa John's pizza to this day and instantly go back to life on the ground floor of Tommy More.
I was one of the blessed few who called Trinity East home for a year. I actually preferred the hospital cafeteria to the campus one. It was cheaper, within walking distance from my room, and had the added bonus of walking past the morgue to get there.
My favorite was the frozen chocolate chip cookie dough you break apart. I'd break off a bite or two after a long day, and when it was a particularly stressful week, the cookie dough wouldn't last until the weekend!
I remember Sunday nights when the cafe had the "Chicken Bar" downstairs—chicken any way you want it and quite extravagant for a college student! It was discontinued after my freshman year, but I will never forget it!
Papa John's reminds me of my days in the dorms and off campus. It was the staple for anyone who didn't make it to dinner at the cafe. I also remember fondly the different night of "cultural cuisine" in the lower part of the cafe that has since been discontinued. Chicken Night and Mexican Night were always the most popular.
Sausage sandwiches from Capri.
Drover's wings were totally worth the drive! Together with other graduate students we would make a trip just about every week to indulge in this spicy treat!
Pierogies! Is there any room for debate? I think not! They couldn't serve 'em often enough. I was just reminiscing about Franciscan's pierogies the other day! It's a fave topics when first meeting a fellow alum: "Man, remember those pierogies?" And how 'bout that Nestlé hot chocolate? I also well remember stuffing pockets and backpacks with cookies (yum!) and running to class. And now, if we're talking Austria, of course there's Milka and Nutella—the sight of which will always mean FUS to me.
I worked in the cafe during my years there and tried pretty much everything we served. My favorite was when we had breakfast for dinner. I loved getting grilled stickies at Eat'n Park (I feel like a college kid every time I eat one!). Also, the State Line was a good, economical place to eat and was actually the site of my first date with the man I married.
My favorite food, to this day, was the bacon, egg, and cheese bagel from the Pub. I do believe I used ALL my Pub points to eat that deliciously greasy breakfast delicacy at any time of the day. I haven't been able to find anyone around the country who makes one as tasty.
There is no question that my favorite dining experiences while at Franciscan involved cooking Sunday brunch with my friends nearly every week. I was the only one in our project house who would wake in time to attend the early Mass on Sunday morning. On my return, my roommates would be preparing to go to the 11 a.m. (or 12 p.m.) Mass. I would have the house to myself, so I would turn on my classical music and begin making a large brunch, which consisted of bacon, hash-browns, and eggs, with the occasional sweet cinnamon roll. If ever we decided to not have brunch together, I would run to the cafe to get in line for the Belgian waffles!
My favorite food from my time at Franciscan is, hands down, Al's Diner. After Sunday morning Mass at Christ the King, there was always a mad dash to the cars followed by a street legal race to get to Al's before it filled up. My staple was the breakfast combo with two pancakes, two eggs over easy, and sausage links. It was the only thing I ever ordered there, and I always left completely satisfied. I have since tried to find a West Coast equivalent to the Midwest magic that was Al's Diner, but have been unsuccessful. Al's diner often comes up in conversations with my wife Cassandra (Cleaton) Kent '07 especially on Sundays as we leave Mass. I firmly believe that there is no place in the world like Franciscan University...and there is no place in the world like Al's Diner.
Being an education major meant that many of my classes were at 8 a.m. or 6 p.m. I would not have graduated without Starbuck frappes. I remember once I had way too many, and I couldn't close my eyes. If anyone has seen Pirates of the Carribean 2, it was like when Jack had eyes painted on his eyelids. I was sitting in the J.C. and people kept coming up and talking to me because I looked awake, but I did not hear a word they said because my brain had shut down from caffeine and study overload.
General Tso's Chicken from Hong Kong Chinese Delivery. We would order that heavenly goodness every weekend when I was a freshman and sophomore...until they stopped delivering.
I was pretty cheap during my college days and rarely bought the food different groups would sell for fundraisers on campus. However, there was an exception. The Madonna of the Streets Household made bonbons a couple times a year and I always bought them! These bonbons were by far the best food on campus! I could never get the recipe from the girls because I didn't join the household. A couple of years ago I found a recipe online that I now make. I'm reminded of fun times eating bonbons with my friends: in the dorms talking about guys, in the J.C., watching a basketball game, outside in the grass working on our tan, or spending time in the library trying to make studying enjoyable.
My household sister would cook buffalo chicken dip, and we'd all sit together around a single pot in her dorm room and devour it. Those were the days!
n college, I had to learn to grocery shop for the first time. My friend advised me, "Shop on the outside of the store and you will live longer." So I learned to love fresh beets, plain yogurt, and tilapia.
Hillsboro wings in Mingo Junction. They are amazing! I still go there almost any time I come back to campus.
My favorite food while studying at Franciscan University was actually not on campus. My favorite food was the fettuccine alfredo served at Naples. I went there during a campus visit and immediately fell in love with it. I also have some fond memories of going to Zalenski's with friends on Wednesday nights for wings and karaoke. As for the food on campus, you could never go wrong with the food served at the Pub. Cheeseburgers, chicken tenders, wraps, it goes on and on! If I'm ever in the area again, I'd be sure to stop at all three places!
My favorite foods while living on campus were pizza from the cafe, especially cheese pizza, and the breakfast croissant sandwiches from the Pub. I also miss having the great salad bar always at my fingertips in the cafe!
I can safely say that late-night burritos fueled my undergraduate degree efforts.
My favorite cafeteria food during my days at Franciscan had to be, without a doubt, the shredded hashbrowns served during breakfast. Served with just the right amount of grease, and magnificent with ketchup, this staple of morning helped me start my day off right. I also liked the biscuits and gravy. Delectable yet simple, biscuits and gravy are superb with a touch of hot sauce and sure to please any early riser.
Two words: Butch's omelets! I don't know if it was my ultimate favorite, but it's definitely in the top few, and it's the meal I equate with college. It actually wasn't even an omelet, just two eggs over easy with sautéed vegetables and cheese sprinkled over top. It was heavenly. Despite long lines and early hours, Butch knew my name and my order, and all factors combined absolutely made my mornings.
Pulled pork sandwiches and French toast sticks!
The aroma of Vocelli's pepperoni pizza always filled the first floor common room in Trinity Hall during movie nights with friends! My husband (Edmund Mitchell '11) and I are still having withdrawals.
That free pizza we got for hosting a come-and-seer is the food that screams "college dorm life" at me. It was the tastiest because we felt like we had done a good deed, it was free, and we shared it with friends, all hovering around the pizza box on the floor late into the night. Who could forget that deliciously unhealthy garlic butter in which we dipped the crust?
During my time at Franciscan, my best days were when my friends and I decided to get takeout from Sesame Grill at the bottom of the hill. I'm not really sure how good the Chinese food actually is, but any time we were able to make the trip and skip the cafeteria was exciting. My meal of choice was sweet and sour chicken with pork fried rice.
A few of my household sisters and I developed a weird addiction to McDonald's sweet tea. Two to three times every week, usually after 9 p.m., we would buy the sweet tea (half sweet and half unsweet) and something from the Dollar Menu. This became our little routine, and everybody in the hall became aware of it.
As a freshman, I began my love affair with syrup. The cafe breakfasts were my taste of heaven—and let me tell you, I indulged. I gained about 25 pounds and even gave up syrup for Lent that year.
My favorite meal was Tuesday morning breakfast with Prince of Peace Household: biscuits and gravy after the 6:30 a.m. Mass.
The hamburgers at the Pub.
Class of 2005Major: Finance
Angela Coppa knew she wanted an accounting career in New York City. She also knew it would take dedication and work to achieve her dreams.
After graduating from Franciscan University of Steubenville in 2005 with a degree in finance, Coppa spent a year and a half doing technical accounting for PricewaterhouseCoopers in New Jersey, then transferred to PwC's New York City office...

Dear fashion lovers, enthusiasts, shakers, and makers,
Welcome to fafafoom.com! My name is Mira Musank and fafafoom is where I share my interests in fashion, DIY projects, Japan fashion and culture, and travel stories. I'm a big fan of Japanese RPGames and I have a great range of hobbies; it just happens that many of them are fashion-related. After moving to SF Bay Area several years ago, I came to love the quirky beauty of local fashion landscape. I also gained deeper appreciation of beautiful garments or accessories and that eventually leads to me trying my best in DIY fashion projects. From time to time, I try my best to travel every once so often to experience new things and enjoy life more.
These so-called "serious hobbies" (I have a separate full-time job at a SF startup) end up becoming a great set of learning experience. Doing fashion reviews and DIY projects greatly challenge me to go outside of the box. It's so fun, exciting and rewarding. I get to learn to write articles, edit pictures, meet and connect with awesome new people, and learn so much about sewing! It's really inspiring and I hope that by reading my posts on fafafoom.com, you will also get fashionably inspired.
Fafafoom.com is currently run by the two of us:
The writer for all fafafoom posts, photo editor, sewing beginner and documenter of all the DIY Projects. I'm still looking for the next great Japanese RPGs to play (old habits die hard) and the next country(ies) to visit while juggling the stories to write and planning the next set of DIY projects.
Contact: email@example.com
The gifted photographer, most notably for all of the featured fashion shows on fafafoom.com. Also known as my husband :) He seldom does post-production editing due to his perfectionist nature (and I am an impatient person), however you can see his beautiful photography on Flickr.

The main categories for fafafoom.com are:
Fashion Reviews
San Francisco Bay Area has a uniquely beautiful fashion landscape and there is no shortage of talents. We go to local fashion shows and cover the designers that help put San Francisco on the fashion map. Tuan Tran (his designs are pictured left), Danielle Pettee and Shai White, Scott Ian McFarland, Brandon Murphy, and Ken Chen are among the rising stars.
We explore San Francisco Bay Area emerging designers fashion shows, including student fashion shows from Academy of Art University, Art Institute of California – San Francisco, and California College of the Arts.
Sometimes opportunities arise and we got invited to emerging designers fashion show in NYC, so we write about them, too.
Fashion DIY Projects
It's hard not to get inspired when browsing the latest fashion week coverages, shopping, observing people's street style, or viewing tons of DIY projects out there. I like shopping for new clothes and accessories, but sometimes it's a lot more fun and rewarding to try make your own one-of-a-kind pieces. The fact that I'm a sewing novice just makes each projects that much more challenging and exciting at the same time.
My oxford fabric shoes (pictured right) has received the most compliments whenever I wear them. Moreover, my tulle puff hair accessory and scarf top with kimono sleeves are also my DIY project highlights.
Other favorite projects are found on Koko Yamase's Kakkoii Couture Remake book and Tomoko Nakamichi's Pattern Magic series.
Japan Fashion
I have loved Japan and its culture since I was very, very little. In particular, its fashion and the psychology behind it continue to mesmerize me. We got to visit Japan in March 2013 and were instantly in awe of Tokyo men's fashion.
We are lucky that Japantown in San Francisco (one of the three remaining Japantowns in the US) hosts great fashionable events, especially the annual JPop Summit Festival San Francisco celebrations. Kyary Pamyu Pamyu, Harajuku Kawaii event, h. Naoto fashion show (pictured left), Baby The Stars Shine Bright gothic lolita fashion competition, Liz Lisa fashion contest are part of what makes San Francisco fashion scene genuinely special for me.
Stories & Muses
Sometimes I have the persistent urge to share stories, but they don't fit into any of the aforementioned categories. There are many brilliant entrepreneurs and fashion makers; people who confidently lead the way, bravely follow their passion, and inspire us. Featuring Jill Milan brand (pictured right), Betabrand, SNOBSWAP, Handbago.com, and events such as Ahead of the Fashion on fashion start-uppers have been amazing.
Some of them work behind-the-scene in fashion industry, such as Ava Byrd of ByrdSong Production, some are inspiring Japanese actors such as Rome Kanda. Just talking to these inspiring people rejuvenate my spirit and bring me up whenever I'm down, so thank you muses, for you are wonderful.
Of course, being inspired is not complete until you go out there to see the world, experience new things, and open yourself more. I love traveling, but we don't get to do it too often. Nevertheless, these are my travel stories.
Some of them are my personal thoughts, like my one-and-only encounter with Endeavour and MUJI event.
Moreover, I have always love the art of dance and dancers, so when Lalola closed its doors for good , the monthly flamenco performances (pictured left) folded as well and it broke my heart. (Fortunately, shortly after, they have found a new place at BASK!)
So there you have it. Thank you for visiting fafafoom.com, and I hope you leave feeling inspired every time you visit. If you'd like, sound off below to say hi!
Take care,

Issues & AdvocacyFederal
Don't Let Congress Turn Its Back on Sustainability
But efforts in Congress might put that to an end. Proposed Senate legislation would gut, or even eliminate, this important measure. The result would be a significant retreat in the effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, stifling innovation and wasting more taxpayer dollars on energy costs. Please consider adding your organization or company to the letter below, which tells Senators to keep moving forward on sustainable federal buildings. You can read the full text of the letter here. This letter is meant to be signed by companies/organizations rather than individuals. By entering the information below, I attest that I am authorized to add my organization/company's name to this letter. |
The Honorable Ron Wyden 221 Dirksen Senate Office Building Washington, DC 20510 The Honorable Lisa Murkowski 709 Hart Senate Office Building Washington, DC 20510 Dear Chairman Wyden and Ranking Member Murkowski: The undersigned associations and companies write in opposition to efforts to weaken or eliminate energy efficiency performance standards for federal buildings. According to the Department of Energy's Energy Information Administration, the building sector accounts for 39 percent of total U.S. energy consumption, more than both the transportation and industry sectors. The same study found that buildings are responsible for 71 percent of U.S. electricity consumption and that buildings in the United States alone account for 9.8 percent of carbon dioxide emissions worldwide. Requiring significant energy reduction targets in new and majorly renovated federal buildings demonstrates to the private sector that the federal government is leading by example. It is helping spur the development of new materials, construction techniques, and technologies to make buildings more energy efficient. And it is showing that significant energy reductions are both practical and cost-effective. We are concerned, however, that proposals may be put forth in the Senate that would stifle this progress by preventing the Department of Energy from implementing a provision from the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 that requires federal buildings be designed to reduce their energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Stakeholders from varying industries have been working with DOE to implement this rule in a way that is smart, efficient, and effective. Some have argued that these requirements, in Sec. 433(a) of the 2007 law, are not achievable, but the facts tell a different story. Building professionals are already succeeding in making federal facilities meet sustainability targets, including the retrofit of the Wayne N. Aspinall Federal Building in Grand Junction, CO, which will be the GSA's first site net-zero energy building on the National Register of Historic Places. The result is better energy performance for federal agencies and lower overall costs for taxpayers. More importantly, private sector owners are increasingly adopting these technologies and strategies for their buildings. Weakening or repealing federal building energy policies will dramatically harm the federal government's ability to design and build facilities that use less energy, save taxpayers money, and protect the environment. Therefore, we urge you to oppose efforts to weaken the energy consumption and GHG emission requirements of EISA Sec. 433(a) and other important energy-saving policies. Sincerely, | ||

If there is one thing blogging can influence it is bandwagons. Living in Canada can sometimes prevent me from jumping aboard on some things like Stich Fix (big sigh on that one); however one thing I recently decided to jump on board with was a subscription box.
There are a few options making there way through Canada, but after a bit of research I decided to test out the Luxe Box. Instead of being a monthly subscription, it's seasonly. Something I really like since I don't know if I would want to get a bunch of samples monthly (okay I would, but I can't justify that cost). Instead Luxe Box puts together quarterly boxes for $26 a box.
I got an email a few weeks ago asking if I wanted to upgrade to a Lou Lou box which would also include a four month subscription to Lou Lou Magazine. For the extra $5 and based on what appeared to be in the upgrade box I decided to go for it.
So for $31 here's what I got!
one: cake heavy cream intensive hand repair balm – 100 ml
cost $22/100 ml
This stuff smells amazing – shocker it smells like cake. It's an all natural Canadian product which I love, and as a traveller I also like that I could bring this on a plane with me. The cream is very heavy, not the best for a humid day; but a good cream to have around.
two: olay cc cream – full size 50 ml
cost isn't advertised; however olay products are generally $20+
I recently bought a Revlon BB cream for the summer; and actually did a bit of research the other day about the difference between a CC and BB cream; which is essentially nothing. My mom is a huge fan of Olay products; however I think this stuff is a tad dark for me and is a bit sticky/greasy feeling. I might give it to my mom to see what she thinks. Joel also kept telling me my face smelled like burning.
three: kerastase elixir ultime the imperial – 3ml sample
cost $54/125 ml
I haven't tested this out yet but it's a 'multi-use oil that can be used pre and post styling'. My hair gets oily super fast, we're talking thin hair capital of the world. I could never wash my hair every other day. Dry shampoo can't even save me. So I will be testing this out pre-styling.
four: purity made simple cleanser – 1 oz sample
$26/8 oz
I love purity products. I have had a sample in a Sephora order before. I am excited about this face wash. It's a good size for me to save for a trip.
five: vichy liftactiv serum 10 eyes & lashes – 1 oz sample
$45 (not sure for what size)
this stuff is supposed to be for fine lines and make eyelashes appear thicker, shinier and fortified. I might be aging myself as a 25 year old right now, but I haven't found a use or understanding of these products yet. It's quite nice for applying; however I'm not sure if I can see any difference in my eyelashes.
six: clinique high impact mascara – 14 oz sample
$19/28 oz
I have gotten this mascara in a sample box of mascaras before and I didn't like it. I think I found it clumpy and that it broke off throughout the day. It's probably just going to sit in my drawer.
seven: knotties hair ties – 4 ties
$10/full size (the image shows five)
These seem to be all the rage in hair ties lately. My hair is short right now and I'm usually the thin black hair elastic type. So what's the point of these? It's it the modern day scrunchie?
eight: just cavalli eau de toilette spray – sample size 5 ml
$66/50 ml
This stuff is a bit too strong for me. Smells a bit rich for my taste. The bottle was also very hard to open.
nine: vichy aqualia thermal night spa replenishing and soothing sleeping mask – sample size 7 ml
$38/75 ml
I haven't used this yet. It recommends using the product 1-3 times per week. I'm excited to try it, but don't think it's something I'd buy- just the type of sample I enjoy getting.
ten: essie sleek stick in so haute! – full size
$10.25/full size
I have used the essie sleek sticks before and they're pretty good quality. I enjoy that they have the gems; however I find the quality isn't quite there compared to the Sally Hansen product. I think they only lasted 2-3 days the last time I bought it. The colour I got is 'so haute' it's like a orange-red with gold gems. I might wear them for the wedding next week, not sure yet!
I am impressed with the amount of product I got. It's about $80 all together with 3 full size products. I am not a fan of all of them, but happy with the cream and essie sample. I'll see how the next box goes and decide whether I will continue with a subscription box with my fingers crossed for a stitch fix coming to Canada.

Thank you so much. You are all so kind. Pick-stitching is a term I use to describe the casual hand-quilting with perle cotton. It is not as refined as traditional quilting with tiny beautiful stitches. I do use the same technique for pick-stitching as traditional quilting...only use an embroidery needle and I usually stack only a couple of stitches on my needle. Hope that helps!

I just found your blog ... and I adore your wonky stars quilt - it´s bright and so beautiful with this handstitching! That makes me want to try ... on some little project though:)
I was always afraid of handstitching because my stitches are not so tiny and not so even and regular - now THIS comment of yours helps definitly! - August 28, 2010 at 8:10 AM

Hmmm I still do not know if I like it ... I tried on a little piece.. I think I´m struggling with not the right thread and the right needle for it ...

Bruce Springsteen started this year's South by Southwest festival with a beautiful and inspiring—even tear-jerking at times—talk about creativity, music and hard work.
During Bruce Springsteen's keynote SXSW speech last night, he disclosed that, like countless artists and musical acts before him, he routinely lifted riffs from his predecessor's songs. So does this mean he's going to get sued by the RIAA for piracy or does that count as fair use?
The breakout app from SXSW this year may be Highlight, or it may be Pinwheel. But the most exciting news? It's about Instagram, which is finally sort-of showing off a beta of its Android app.

I was just watching the latest TV advert for Guiness in the UK and some of the imagery in the advert is a bit strange to say the least. I wonder how long it will be before it is taken off the air?
A night-time scene of an oriental city is shown (didn't recognise any Japanese writing on the billboards) and clouds of black smoke descend on the skyscrapers apparently leading to collapse accompanied by apparent cheering of onlookers.
Poor taste or what?
The film The China Syndrome, starring Jane Fonda and which depicts the meltdown of a nuclear plant was released just 12 days before the partial meltdown of a reactor on Three Mile Island.
Just a coincidence?
On TV we are shown images inside a nuclear power station which show a reactor core sitting quietly at the bottom of a pool of water. And please note you can clearly see the ripples on the water's surface.
But how realistic is this? To generate power the reactor core heats water to generate steam. I see no steam bubbling to the surface of this pool of water.
Okay, so in actual fact the cooling water around the reactor core which becomes superheated and which is in reality under too great a pressure to produce steam actually transfers its heat to a second reservoir of water which is not pressurized and which does produce steam.
Fine. But how does a superheated pressurized containment as described above actually produce a surface complete with ripples on?
What we are being shown on TV can't be the real thing surely?
Can anyone make any sense of any of this?
Don't understand why the hell tankers of water weren't summoned the day of and/or the day after the quake and tsunami?

Pawnshop heist ends in bloody shootout
20 rounds fired; one robber killed, another wounded
By PEGGY O'HARE
Copyright 2005 Houston Chronicle
An estimated 20 rounds were fired inside a southeast Houston pawnshop Wednesday during a shootout among armed robbers, an off-duty Brookside Village police officer and the store manager, investigators said.
When it ended, one of the robbers was dead, and another who was thought to be wounded fled with his accomplices, police said. Neither the officer nor store manager was seriously hurt, nor were the bystanders crouched on the ground, despite the shell casings, broken glass and blood littering the inside of the Magnolia Pawn Shop at 1000 Evergreen near Lawndale.
The store manager, described by police as "the hero of the day," fired the first shot in the volley of gunfire, likely saving the life of Brookside Village police officer Greg Hernandez, investigators said. Eight people in addition to the robbers and the officer were inside the store at the time.

Arizona Charity Reaps Gifts After Snubbing Wal-Mart Donation
A Tucson food bank that made national news last month when it turned down a $1,000 contribution from Wal-Mart said it has more than made up the loss in gifts from donors who share its misgivings about the retail giant's business and labor practices, CNN reports.
Casa Maria Free Kitchen, which makes 500 bag lunches daily for low-income Tucson residents, has received "substantially more than Wal-Mart offered us," said Brian Flagg, an organizer with the charity. "When people sent us checks, they also wrote, 'Thanks for your stance on Wal-Mart.'"
The gift snub came amid renewed national debate over pay, hours, and health coverage for workers at the world's largest store chain. Wal-Mart made $15,000 in donations to local groups after opening a new store in the area in October.

Cabinet Minister for Social Care
Responsible department: Cabinet Office
Social Care impacts on the lives of millions - 1.6 million people receive fund care, 1.5 million people work in care, there are an estimated 6.4 million unpaid carers in the UK and obviously there are those they look after.
This equates to around 20% of the population impacted in some way by social care.
Given this number it has to be essential that Social Care is represented at Cabinet Level, with it's own Ministerial Department rather than being just a part of the Department of Health.
While Social Care and Health are linked, Social Care is also linked to Welfare, Housing, Communities just to name a few.
If we want truly integrated social care services then we need to see it from the top by having a Cabinet Level Minister who can work with ALL departments and represent the one fifth of the country that need or provide social care.

I have to admit, I am impressed with InMotion itself as a hosting company. I've never had any issues with bad support or tech help. However, my biggest gripe goes to the sheer amount of brute force attacks that seemed aimed at InMotion and not specific domains. I've only been with InMotion for about 5 months now and prior to that I never had any issues with google telling visitors my site had malicious code, or the amount of resources being to highly used on the site itself. I've spent more time in the last month trying to fix issues that frankly were never an issue on my old host that I'm now questioning why I left that other host. I wish I could remember now why I left.. but I am seriously thinking about going back.
InMotion Support team is above the rest!
As I run my web design/development company I have had to deal with more then a dozen different hosting providers. I recently had to move multiple websites around the InMotion environment and update usernames/passwords. The live chat team was AMAZING – kind, respectful and knowledgable about what and how to get my questions accomplished.
InMotion has easily jumped to one of the top 3 companies I will start recommending for my client to host their websites with!
InMotion continues to provide excellent service: The representatives have been professional, knowledgeable, efficient, personable, and helpful — every time I've called. After checking out several potential hosts over a significant period of time, it looks like I've found the best one available for my needs.
I've been with InMotion for about two years now. Initial setup was a little challenging for me, but their chat-help was so good, I was up and running in a pretty short time. Since then, I have updated my site regularly, and most times it is a breeze. Lately I have had issues with authorization (two occasions), but the chat help was AWESOME and got me running in a jiffy.
I am 100% satisfied with InMotion Hosting. The have done a great job for me! -
I'm sure they are one of the best company in the hosting market, they are fast, clever, kind and provide the best support i've ever tried for every issue.
I have transferred from a previous host to Inmotion Hosting, including my domain name (i.e. DNS). Everyone has been helpful in the process of getting everything transferred. The staff was friendly. courteous, patient, and knowledgeable.
I recommend if you are going to transfer to this host, make sure you get your password, or key from your DNS. This would be located at the registration page of your domain name's server, usually. This is what I discovered after transferring here.
In addition, if your host has CPanel, there is a backup feature located on the website of your host's control panel. I would backup this to your local drive and sent it to Inmotion Hosting. This is the most highly recommended option, after doing research online and reading the sent documentation.
As you may tell, I have learned quite a bit between these last few days of switching! Thanks Inmotion Hosting
I see that is has been a while since anyone commented here, so perhaps it's time for an update.
I have been with InMotion Hosting for more than six years, the past four years on their "Power" plan, but due to the past two months of hell with their tech support, I am looking for a new host for my WordPress site.
As others have noted, they are available 24/7, but whenever I've called, they've told me to submit an e-mail ticket. When I do that, I get a mostly cut-and-paste response referring me to online articles, some of which are out-of-date, some hard to follow, and some just plain wrong. So, for starters, I think they may be cutting back on tech support to save money, and it shows.
My issue was the same as another commenter, which had to do with the brute force attacks. I received a resource overage warning, and when I contacted them to figure out why, they refused to look into it unless I jumped through a bunch of hoops. For example, they suggested that I install a specific caching plug-in. I suspected right away that that wasn't the problem — my usage stats showed a very clear pattern of what time of day the overage was happening, and it had nothing to do with when I work or get the most traffic. It took them TWO MONTHS to admit that I was right in the first place and that the problem was brute force attacks. To add insult to injury, a new article they referred me to recommended caching plug-in that I'd always had!
I've just had an exchange of several days with customer service. Their ultimate solution was for me to hire a developer, because they don't monitor individual sites. That's never what I asked for. I only wanted to know what was going on. With a couple of exceptions, their tech support e-mail responses didn't address my specific questions, or they would take one of out of context and ignore the rest. So then I had to start taking up a bunch of time complaining about their responses, which of course got them very defensive and unwilling to find a real fix.
I hope I've left enough specifics here so that those reading can see I'm not a troll for the competition.
Technical support is a major issue with me, including the hours when it is available. I do not work on our website at "traditional" hours and sometimes need help at crazy times. At Inmotion Hosting, someone is always there – and they are cheerful even at 2:00 in the morning! I cannot say enough good about each and every tech I have worked with. They are always efficient, knowledgeable and know the best workaround. I have not been disappointed yet. Thanks again for being there and answering my questions no matter when I contact you!
The customer service provided by InMotion was very clear and helpful. I was told exactly what to do to fix my problem while having a tech rep on the line with me. Couldn't have been easier. Thank you!
Lance Z. was very helpful with all my inquiries and provided specific information for my questions. Thank you.
Hello InMotion Hosting,
I am just giving you some feedback on the awesome service I get everytime I call you guys. This is the best service I have ever had with a hosting company.
You guys deserve a huge pat on the back. The last person I talked to was Mark S. and he was very helpful and went out of his way to help me.
Thank you,
Just a quick note to let you know what great service I received from Jonathan W. today. He went above and beyond my expectations. I appreciate the great service.
I'm gonna have to go against the grain here. The customer service is OK, they are indeed available all day and night. It was GREAT while we were setting up our site. Since it's been set up we've had nothing but trouble, and customer service is no help. The site has been down for hours every day because of one thing or another (first its "overcrowded servers" then its "server load time" then it's a "malicious attack" and no one can ever tell us anything except "it will be back up soon". No estimation of how long these down times will continue.
We'll be leaving inmotion as soon as humanly possible – they've been terrible. Worse than GoDaddy, and I didn't even think that was possible.
I have had a VPS account with inmotion for about 6 years now. I host about 9 client sites as well as 4 of my own. I have been very happy until the last ten days. A brute force attack has rendered all my WordPress site useless when it comes to admin. I told them yesterday I'm exporting everything and getting ready to move all my sites if they don't get it fixed by this weekend. We'll see what happens…
I don't buy that all of our problems were even related to the brute force attack. IMH ended up suspending our account because the TimThumb on our site was being targeted "40,000 times a day" and basically that because of this our site was a "security risk" for all the other sites on the server and that it would continue to be suspended and eventually would just be pulled down altogether. And yes, I'm aware that there were security issues with timthumb….a few YEARS ago. Both the theme author and the new host we contacted (one of those wordpress specific hosts) told me this was crap.
what it boils down to is that for whatever reason – server load, malicious attack, timthumb (one of the most common wordpress scripts there is) – IMH couldn't handle our site. Instead of helping us fix the issue or god forbid, fixing it on their end – they chose to suspend the account and threatened us with cancelling it all together in the end.
As a point of fact – our site's traffic has more than tripled in mere months since we left inmotion. Never once…not even for a second…has it crashed. In conclusion: InMotion sucks.
And where did you move from InMotion Hosting?
Where did you move to? I've had a real bad experience with GoDaddy, and looking for alternatives. Please advise.
I am curious as to why the comments on InMotion seem to be so "bunched"? The time stamps are clustered around a small number of dates (June 21 – 29, then nothing until July 18, then a few after that. Seems odd…and makes me a little suspicious that the comments were not entirely unsolicited and authentic. Just an observation. Thanks.
I've used In Motion Hosting for several years now. Their customer service is wonderful! They have walked me through several things i didnt know how to do. Their online tutorials are also fabulous. I recommend them without hesitation!
I switched to InMotion several months ago and I have to say that I like everything about it. I've tried just about every shared hosting service out there and had below average results. InMotion is by far the fastest and most reliable host to date. I was expecting ho hum like the others, but was most pleasantly surprised. Try it, you'll like it!
I've never experienced such great customer service. The online chat support is the easiest and most convenient support around! I love InMotion Hosting and never hesitate to ask for help from their fabulous customer support department.
I am overjoyed with my experience with your online tech support and phone help line. Several months ago I signed up my husband's firm for your service, bought a domain and designed the website, only to find out that our broker-dealer's compliance wouldn't allow us to use you. Very unhappily, I was forced to move that domain and start over again. It was YOUR tech support–NOT the new guy's–that ultimately turned what could have been a nightmare (when you don't know this stuff) into a bearable transaction.
Today, I signed up to transfer an existing website for my own company (not a financial services site) TO you guys, and again, your on-line support was great. Given that this technical stuff is something akin to water-boarding to me, you guys have definitely earned my gratitude on both ends of the process. I would be delighted to recommend you to anyone (that didn't have to make the Securities Exchange happy!) -
InMotionHosting is real quality, indeed.
They are what they say they are, but far more than that.
For anyone who needs their own website, I strongly recommend InMotionHosting, I really do. Get the package you need. And, when support is needed, they are there 24/7! Always helpful! My experience with them is that no questions are too stupid. Actually, my experience is that they are there, when you want things to work, and it will!
I can truly recommend InMotionHosting.
Kind regards,
In Motion Hosting's tech support has always been super friendly and quick to respond to my chat requests. As a graphic designer serving as a webmaster, IMH's tech support team has been an invaluable partner to our business' online presence.
About InMotion Hosting:
You guys provide something that seems to be rare today, GREAT customer and technical service!!!
I have contacted your tech support numerous time for assistance because I am a newbie to websites and hosting. Even though the problems I have encountered are because of my lack of knowledge, your techs have patiently walked me through what ever I've encounter with courtesy.
Your company demonstrates what it takes to be #1 in a very competitive business.
Keep up the good work!!!!
Gregg, "a customer for life" Thanks! -
In Motion Hosting always goes the extra mile whether it's related to customer support, billing or just to answer quick tech questions.
Two thumbs up on the entire (stellar) customer experience… this is one reason why we continue to choose In Motion Hosting!!
Before I chose a hosting company, I did some research. I googled; I read reviews; I asked questions. InMotion Hosting was not the cheapest hosting service, but was always in the top three. The most common comment I heard was that InMotion has good customer service. That's the reason why I chose your company over all the others.
Well, I need to say that those comments have been proven time after time since I signed up with you guys. Keep up the good work and you will have a customer for life.
Thank you!
Support personnel are always very helpful and patient. They will always help me work through any Webpage issue, even if it has nothing to do with our hosting (we were having an issue with our Google mail accounts).
Thank you InMotion Hosting for your quick support of my questions about my technical issues. Nick W. was extremely helpful as well as several other phone technicians that I have spoke with and chatted with about my issues. I really love the quick service and being able to contact you 24/7. Thank you again.
im using inmotion hosting services since last 2 years. Best customer service and excellent support. i always recommend their services to new clients!
So far I am extremely happy with InMotion… I, being a relative novice, last year built my own website and started offering products online, part of my frustration though was never being able to get hold of customer/tech support with my old web host when I had issues, or questions… If I had have known I could have the kind of support and fast service I have so far experienced with InMotion, I may have saved myself countless hours of wasted energy and time, flailing around in the dark! Switched over last week and so far, all services have been performed quickly, and the staff correspondence has been amazing – I even had a tech help me with an issue I had which was not even web host related (possibly he could have told me that the issue I had was not part of the service) however he still helped me figure it out! Over and above service – just the way we all like it. Keep up the awesome work InMotion!
I had a chat with Terrence H with inMotion hosting. He had my server up in running in no time. Very fast!
Contacting the support team is always fast and I like it. Now that I know and have my
credentials ready when I contact them, I get the tech support that I really need as an IT
person myself. Plus, they are always very friendly which adds to the good experience.Great job guys and I will push more of my customers to your hostings services as I think your deserve it more than the ones I have already experienced in other places.
Thanks again and many kudos for your good work.
Jus to say we use WordPress for all our sites and we are curently hosted by InMotion Hosting in the US. We had a few issues moving one of our sites internally. I am so glad they offer Live chat support, we had a guy called Jason who assisted us when we could not figure out why our site was not working. I would highly recommend InMotion as a hosting company
Friendly, competant and helpful support. My problem was solved very quickly.
I've been with In Motion Hosting for some time now, and on occassions when I do have to contact support, I am reminded as to why I enjoy being a customer. I am extremely happy with the service and the support.
Inmotion actually has the most responsive tech support and customer service of any company I've dealt with.
Of all of the times I sit listening to music while waiting for a customer service representative, or block off a an hour to deal with some credit card quagmire, it is a lovely relief to have my hosting taken care of by inmotion.
I've hosted with inmotion for five years now, and every email I've ever sent has been replied to in under six hours, and many problems have been concisely/immediately dealt with by their live chat tech support.
As an information architect I deal intimately with many aspects of hosting, et al – for clients, students, myself – and every opportunity I have, I opt to go with or recommend inmotion.
They were very helpful and a pleasure in setting up my email with Mac Mail. Thanks!
I worked with your tech Matthew G today and he really took care of my issues and explained how to operate things really well. He helped me make my migration from MobileMe pretty painless. Thanks InMotionHosting!
I had an instant chat, and they were very quick to respond. Very good service. A+++++
your service is great , your attitude to answer our question is superb, i appretiate that you answerd my question which do not belong to your buinsness ( tehchincal)
you r doing good and hope to comeback to you for any future service required -
I have used another web host for one year and then switched to InMotion. I am very happy at their very quick response to ALL of my questions. They are very knowledgable in what they do. I highly recommend them!
I moved my primary web site from GoDaddy to Inmotion Hosting expecting a more reliable hosting service. I did my homework and Inmotion Hosting had great reviews from a wide range of sources so that convinced me switch to them. At first things went well but months into the relationship I noticed repeated interruptions in service, slow loading, server down, etc. These problems were due to their server, Inmotion even confirmed that. Each time I called they fixed the problem quickly, but what disturbed me is that they didn't know about the problem until I called. No business owner can or should have to monitor his web site to assure it's up. After the latest problem I received a request to comment on my experience with their customer service. Well I was tempted to write a negative comment but instead emailed them asking one last time for help in resolving the repeated server problems that were causing my site to be down. That was on Friday so I waited all weekend and then 2 full business days before getting an email from them. What they said was there were other customers on the same server that were causing spikes in server use and that in turn caused the problem. Their suggested remedy was for me to try another of their servers in the hopes of eliminating the problem. First, it is not me causing the problems but I should make the move? How about moving the offenders to another server, or better yet require them to upgrade to a dedicated server or at least one with fewer subscribers and able to handle the load without disrupting the service of other customers that are not taxing the system. I replied via email my thoughts immediately after receiving their email. Another day has passed and no reply.
I fear that what has happened with Inmotion is the same thing that has happened with many other good companies, they have grown too big too fast and customers are not much more than numbers to them. I am getting more reliable service from sites I still have hosted at GoDaddy, sites that I pay less for hosting service. The site hosted at Inmotion is a primary source of revenue so when it's down I'm losing money. It seems to me it would be so easy for them to stop the problems and provide reasonably reliable service, why they have chosen not to do so is bewildering to me.-
Hi Bill –
I had the SAME exact experience, so I am very glad to hear I am not the only one. The downtime and response was awful from about Sept 2011 to May 2012. The summer of 2011 I switched from GoDaddy to InMotion b/c of GoDaddy politics and the great reviews of InMotion. However it is the biggest mistake I ever made. Since that switch my business traffice has gone way down. I never ever had this problem on GoDaddy with shared hosting so this was a shocker. My AdWords were getting clicks, but then it would take 30-60 seconds for the site to load and I'd never get someone on my site.I still occasionally see the problem of very slow load time which is what brought me to Google "best WordPress hosting companies" and your review.
Yours is the first review I have seen similar to my InMotion experience so had to reply.
Oh and the customer service being great I hardly find true at all. At GoDaddy a call gets answered right away. At InMotion I sometimes wait 5 minutes. Also the InMotion billing department kept making the same billing mistakes on my account several times. Not even an apology or simple 'sorry'.
Overall I am very unsatisfied with InMotion. Switching hosting providers is a PITA else I would do it immediately and given my experience with InMotion I absolutely cannot recommend them.
A customer service quality that every company should look up to and copy. Obviously values their customers
In motion has proven to be a solid service and even further accented by second-to-none customer service and support!!!
Excellent customer support. Have used it on a number of occasions to sort out problems which were not of their doing but hindered my performance accessing my sites information. The nice part of this was that the support crew is state side which meant a lot to me. Much appreciated and have been with inmotion for nearly 5 years now.
Called yesterday because I wanted to password protect a directory on my web site. I did not have to wait at all and the guy who helped me (can't remember his name!) was fabulous. He figured out everything I needed to do, although it took a couple of passes through because some sort of nerdy "permissions" on his end needed to be reset with a script.
I ended the call feeling confident that if I ever need help even in the middle of the night, I can pick up the phone and resolve my problem quickly. He also explained stuff as he was going along, and gave me a mini tour of the customer interface, so that next time I will be able to log on faster and get to the section I need and perhaps resolve any issues for myself.
PS I switched to InMotionHosting a few years ago after being with a couple of other hosts. My last host was Media3.net and while they were great in the beginning, after a couple of years they apparently got so big they couldn't keep up with the demand for tech support, so I was never able to call and speak to anybody. I'd have to leave a message or call back. Plus, their monthly rates for hosting were way higher than InMotionHosting. I did a lot of research before selecting IMH, asked friends on FB, etc, and I am very happy with the choice I made!
Tech support is by far the best I have experienced. Over the past 10 years I have been with three of the other "popular" hosts and never got the hands on, super fast support like I get from In-Motion. Very very happy with my choice and all of my client's sites I host on IM are happy with their uptime and speed.
As a first time user. I am very impressed by the prompt and accurate problem solving services conducted by the technical support team. Five stars!
We had a great experience setting up our first website. InMotion made it completely painless. Tech assistance — nonpareil.
My tech problems were quickly resolved and I appreciate the high quality customer service I received. Thanks!
I appreciate the quick response and the friendly customer service.
Great service as usual.
Your tech folk delivered fast and friendly and accurate problem solving.
Thank you-
I can't say enough good things about the support that I have received. Everyone at InMotion is FANTASTIC. I am so glad the we found InMotion Web Hosting. Thanks to all at InMotion!!!

CORVALLIS, Ore. — Police arrested a car suspect after the victim chased him down.
Police say 31-year-old Anthony Needham, of Albany, stole a car in the alley north of NW Tyler Avenue early Sunday evening.
The car was still running at the time he found it. When he got inside and tried to drive off, he got stuck on some concrete parking bumpers. When the car's owner got there, Needham ran away, so she chased after him in her car while her friend called police.
The woman caught Needham in the 400 block of NW 25th Street, and some members from a nearby fraternity helped keep him there until police arrived.
Needham was arrested and lodged at the Benton County Jail on several charges, including Unauthorized Use of a Vehicle, Criminal Mischief II and Fail to Perform Duties of a Driver. He also had a misdemeanor warrant for his arrest for Failure to Appear II.
Anyone with information on this incident is asked to call Sgt. Jeff Marr at (541) 766-6729 ext. 5127.

(KMOV.com) – A Madison County deputy is under investigation by the Missouri Highway Patrol Division of Drug and Crime Control.
Chief Deputy James Millstead is currently on administrative leave pending the results of the investigation.
According to Madison County Sheriff Robery Spain, allegations against Millstead were made, and due to the nature of the accusations, MHP was called to investigate.
Details of the investigation have not been released. Millstead had been on the force since May 2013
