One of the hardest things about selling a show idea is trying to figure out what your target, be it a network or production company, is thinking. The perfect formula of what they want and how they want it always seems elusive. aTVfest's Demystifying the Development Process panel, including National Geographic's Tim Pastore, Discovery Channel's Joe Weinstock, UP TV's Barbara Fisher, Creative Differences' Dave Harding and Crew Neck Productions' John Scheinfeld, gave their pitch-weary audience a veritable playbook for how to present their ideas and what to avoid.
In this excerpt, Tim Pastore walks us through what he looks for in a paper treatment.
Here Joe Weinstock emphasizes that paper can only take your pitch so far and the need to be resourceful about getting your characters on camera so a network can get a feel for them. Low budget? No excuse. Hint: Skype.
Hosted by TV Week's Hillary Atkin, aTVfest's Q-and-A with Tim Gibbons, the executive producer of HBO's monumental comedy Curb Your Enthusiasm and BET's runaway hit Real Husbands of Hollywood, two shows that thrive on improvisation, fittingly gave the audience an improvised list of Truths for Surviving TV. Here's what Tim knows that helped him evolve from $20-a-day production assistant to six-time Emmy nominee.
Talent will help you keep a job but a friend will help you get it
Tim's dream was to work in TV, so in 1976 when a friend called him for a day player role as a PA with Dick Clark Productions, he was ready. The process of getting the gig sounded simple, "Someone said Tim could be a PA." But it's through nurturing and growing a network, and making genuine friendships in the business, that Tim has had such a successful run in the business.
Every job I got since then has been the same. I don't think I was ever hired once by sending out a resume. It's because someone I knew said, 'What about Gibbons.'
Every job I got since then has been the same. I don't think I was ever hired once by sending out a resume. It's because someone I knew said, 'What about Gibbons.'
No job is beneath you and there are no shortcuts to the top
Once in the door at Dick Clark, which Tim called 'my college,' he made an effort to know what every role at the production company involved. Then he broke into comedy as an associate producer, learning budgeting, scheduling, how to work with writers and the costume department, all knowledge that would serve him when he became a show runner.
I became a sponge. I tried to learn about every department and every job, whether it was a tech job or Xeroxing scripts all night.
I became a sponge. I tried to learn about every department and every job, whether it was a tech job or Xeroxing scripts all night.
Know when your time is done and go
Tim lasted four years at Dick Clark Productions, riding the ranks, which went from PA, to head PA, to coordinator, and on up to associate producer, the role Tim was angling for. Though 20 dollars a day had turned into 300, Tim was passed over for the next position up and knew he had to leave or remain stuck. So at 27 he took a lateral position as production manager on President Reagan's inauguration. Not exactly the promotion he was looking for, but a gig that gave him experience coordinating a major production and a stepping stone to his next job.
Sometimes reputation is helped by a dose of chemistry
The opportunity to work on Curb came knocking three times. Tim was under contract with Ripley's Believe It or Not, but HBO kept calling on the strength of the previous work he'd done for them. Their enthusiasm about Tim, though, didn't excuse him from a final interview with Larry David, who wanted to get a feel for him. While in the interview Larry made a bald joke about neither one of them having hair. Tim laughed and Larry later told him that's why he got the job. Reputation got Tim in the door, but being relatable to the ultimate decision-maker sealed the deal.
He was testing me to see if I had his comic sensibility.

Persistence, Persistence, Persistence
Regardless of the accolades that have come Tim's way, he most credits persistence for his longevity in the business. Of the 20 PAs that Tim started out with, he's one of only two that are still working. Persistence, he said, is what helped him sell a show he pitched 56 times. Persistence is what will distinguish you and help you get ahead.
In the job world you're selling you and you have to be better than the 20 others who landed in LA that day and want the job.

Whether you got your start in the 70s or are just now shoving off, some things, it seems, don't change.
I teach a class at Savannah College of Art and Design where students write original television pilots. Lucky me, I get to read exciting material from writers who are just finding their voices and have something to say. As a teacher, it doesn't get much better than that.
Oh, and just as an aside, having pitched my share of series to both network and cable executives, and having watched or sampled at least 80 percent of all new series over the past umpteen years, I can say without reservation that a lot of my students' work is better than most of what makes it on the air. I am not being hyperbolic here. That is my sincere belief. And you know what? I'm sure that any professor who teaches a similar class at a college with a student body as talented as SCAD's feels the same way. And they're right, too.
That's both the good news and the bad news.
The bad news: the odds against a writer making his or her way into an office to present an idea for a new show to an executive who can actually make that show happen are astronomically high. Maybe 10,000 to 1. Really.
The good news: those executives' very lives depend (nope, that's not hyperbole either) on beating those odds. So they take meetings and meetings and more meetings—which are only a fraction of the meetings their assistants take.
And what comes out of those meetings? The great Ernie Kovacs once said: "Imitation is the sincerest form of television." We get shows we've already seen before. By the way, that quote was from about 60 years ago. Some French guy once said, "Plus ça change, plus c'est la meme chose," which roughly translated means: "Hey, Betty White was hot in the 50s, and here it is 2014 and she still gets ratings. Give her another show."
Do I blame the executives who are charged with making money for their studios and networks and thus go after shows and stars that have worked before and therefore will hopefully work again? Not a bit. That, after all, is their job. And I'm a smart guy. I know how to work a remote.
Let me tell you who I admire, though: the executives who said, "Let's take a chance on shows like Mad Men, and Orange is the New Black, and The Walking Dead, and Justified." You get the idea. Shows that are different, shows that have made television great again.
So what do I tell my students? Be bold, take a chance. At no time in the history of television has there been such space and appetite for originality. Go ahead, create something that would have made Ernie Kovacs puff on his cigar and say, "Must've been written by one of them SCAD kids."

We're happy to bring you the final result of SCAD's partnership with FOX Sports to design the opening animation for the Super Bowl. Originally scheduled to air at 6 p.m. on Super Bowl Sunday, FOX Sports moved the airtime up to 2 p.m., during the network's pre-game broadcast. Enjoy the show and the buzz it created.
[View the story "SCAD and the Super Bowl" on Storify]
Editor's note: The SCAD/FOX Sports collaboration ran at 2 p.m. during pregrame broadcast, earlier than originally scheduled by FOX Sports. Watch the final animation here: http://youtu.be/HSXd7O5bjpo.
How did a bunch of art students land one of the biggest jobs on television? As with most things, this dream job happened because of relationships. Many of our motion media design alumni work for FOX Sports. We got together and figured out that designing the 20-second opening title for the Super Bowl would be the perfect assignment for Motion Media 408, a class created to teach students about network branding. Here's how they did it:
To come up with a unique concept for the Super Bowl open, the class first dug in to understanding the FOX Sports brand and researching its aesthetic. Any designer has to retain this kind of information so that their concept matches the brand's style.
The students finally landed on three different options to pursue and presented them to FOX Sports. FOX Sports decided to focus on Concept Two: Cleatus racing through New York City to arrive at an activation chamber, where he'd place his football to trigger the start of Super Bowl XLVIII.
With a clearly defined vision, and a healthy dose of notes from FOX Sports, the class began pre-production on the stylized world and story that will draw fans from the nachos to the TV for kickoff. First came the written treatment and laying out the specifics of the animation sequence. Even more important were the style frames and motion tests, which conveyed the style and pacing of the animation to FOX Sports.
Animating a giant football player robot is complicated for anyone, but Motion Capture technology gave the team the perfect tool to work with. They recruited local high school football player Robert Heyward to model the moves that an animated Cleatus the Robot would make along his journey through New York City.
The motion tests gave FOX Sports an idea of how the students would move Cleatus and the cameras in 3D. The students took the animated data and turned them in to motion clips, blending the movements together, or animating Cleatus, at 60 fps, which means for every second they created 60 frames, or images, each with a different pose. The class then rendered each frame and compiled them to create a complete animation.
The team spent a lot of time fine tuning the concept and creating storyboards. These boards showcased the mood, style, specific shots and camera angles in the opening sequence, which gave FOX Sports a scene-by-scene layout to approve.
But the most time-consuming elements of this project were the final design boards, which required several designers and countless hours to produce.
With each style frame treated like its own piece of art, the complete design boards exhibited a few significant scenes from the storyboard. Expertly composited of 3D, 2D, texture and lighting elements, the design boards were made to simulate the refined look of the final animation that you'll see on Super Bowl Sunday.

You may hear the famililar refrain of champions, "I'm going to Disneyland," ring out from your television on Sunday night after the big game. But four students from Savannah College of Art and Design programs in Interior Design, Animation, Illustration and Interactive Design and Game Development have the Super Bowl victors beat.
They're in Disneyland this week visiting the headquarters of Walt Disney Imagineering. The dream field trip and their eight-week internship at Hong Kong Disneyland, slated for June, are prizes for their first place finish in the Disney ImagiNations Hong Kong contest for emerging designers.
Click here to read more about students who are working to create the world's leading theme parks of the future.
The winning 2013 Disney ImagiNation's Hong Kong team took us inside their winning concept "Second Star to the Right" and what it took to be the third team in a row from SCAD to take home the grand prize.
"Our team proposed to bring 'Neverland' to the Hong Kong audience. While famous as the setting for Peter Pan's adventures, we wanted Neverland to become a unique, personal experience for guests."
"Each aspect of the land is as immersive as it is diverse. It features interactive Pirate Bay and Mermaid Lagoon playgrounds, a fantastical Pixie Hollow restaurant, a thrilling gesture-activated dark ride in which guests help Peter save Tinkerbell, and a theater in the round showcasing the story of Peter's adventures with the Darling children through 360 degree projections."
"Throughout each area of the land, guests can also document their adventures through Magic Mirror photo booths and pixie-powered light drawings. Guests are then able to weave their personal Neverland experience together through the creation of their very own storybook."
"There were many iterations of the Neverland concept, but we always knew that the land had to offer an experience that was both immersive and interactive. We realized that the land's uniqueness rested primarily on the guests' ability to feel a personal connection to Neverland. Keeping that in mind, we focused on building a unique hook for guests to experience. We also narrowed the attractions down to the ones that made the greatest cohesive impact."
A lot of the technology we use in Neverland is derived from technology already available in the market.
A lot of the technology we use in Neverland is derived from technology already available in the market.
"In our dark ride below, for example, guests use gestures to interact with the environment. This is very similar to the technology they use for the Kinect, where special cameras detect specific body or hand gestures and use them as cues to trigger events. In our Magic Mirrors, guests can take photos of themselves and apply backgrounds and images to their photos, similar to that of a Purikura Photo Booth. In our Indian Brave Camp, guests can draw onto the walls of a special tent using a totem, using technology that is very similar to the wiimote.
"In terms of conceptualizing and developing our ideas, we worked a lot with traditional sketches to flesh out our initial concepts. What's great is that the design process is iterative, and being able to quickly discuss things with your teammates and edit ideas on the fly is incredibly convenient. After everything had been figured out, we worked almost exclusively with Photoshop to create the final illustrations and slides you see above."
What does it take to be considered a rising star in the fashion industry? Each year, the YMA gives us a glimpse into what the future of fashion holds when it crowns a new group of Fashion Scholarship Fund winners.
As the New Year got under way, the YMA awarded its coveted $5,000 scholarship and pinch-me-I'm-dreaming internships, with industry leaders like Neiman Marcus and Polo Ralph Lauren, to 100 fashion students to watch. Nine of them are Fashion or Fashion Marketing and Management students from Savannah College of Art and Design.From left to right: Annalise Lao, Oliver Selby, My Dinh, Elva Jiang, Sania Tharani, Rachel Johnson, Chanelle Bertelsen, Linda La, Hannah Aylward, Prof. Daniel Green
Here's why their applications wowed the judges.
The challenge: Present a plan to help retailer JCPenney reach the Millennial customer.
My Dinh (B.F.A., Fashion, Junior)
My solution for the YMA 2014 case study is a street wear clothing line for women named #neversleep. The hashtag is a manifestation of youth. Using social media to build a lifestyle around the brand name is the main strategy. The products of #neversleep are identified by its playfulness which is visualized by its bold silhouettes and whimsical prints. The brand has a much needed witty perspective on the harsh realities of modern fashion and life.
Oliver Selby (B.F.A., Fashion, Junior)
The brand that I created for JCP is LINE, connecting fashion to cultures. LINE connects the world of fashion to different cultures of the world, old and new, while creating a modern twist with the combination of print, fabric, and color blocking. Each piece of clothing is able to be matched with others in the collection, enabling the customer to combine different prints and colors, allowing them to connect different cultures of the world together.
Rachel Johnson (B.F.A., Fashion, Senior)
My concept was initially inspired by modern architecture and the lines found in the architecture for the garments themselves. I was extremely inspired by geode rocks and minerals for the prints and color stories I used for the line. My brand Concrete was created for a strong and confident woman and was to be a store-in-store at JCPenney.
Sania Tharani (B.F.A., Fashion Marketing and Management, Senior)
I proposed The Vanguard Collection, a hip menswear brand of distinctly branded apparel and accessories that appeal to the Millennial man with its slim-fit tailoring and fresh print and color combinations. A store-within-a-store layout and interactive social media marketing foster a seamless transition among all platforms, providing him with a pleasurable shopping experience catered to his every need.
Linda La (B.F.A., Fashion Marketing and Management, Senior)
My vision was to create a contemporary, item-based clothing line that was genderless in nature. Having a gender-neutral line taps into the psychographics of the Millennial customer and goes along with their changing attitudes regarding social ideology. All in all Kris Kross exists to challenge what defines fashion in the realm between identity and modern society by offering a gender-neutral wardrobe at value prices in order to build strong, enduring relationships with a younger generation at JCPenney.
Chanelle Bertelsen (B.F.A., Fashion Marketing and Management, Junior)
I created a product line called 27 & Grand showcasing a powerful impact presentation of sneakers in a high tech shopping environment. JCPenney stands at the corner of a major intersection. This intersection is the place where the troubled past meets the opportunity the future holds for JCPenney. The launch of the brand "27 & Grand at JCPenney" will connect with the Millennial generation in a way that will create major business opportunities for the store and for its future.
Hannah Aylward (B.F.A., Fashion Marketing and Management, Junior)
The main focus of my project was to partner with American Apparel and set up Miniature American Apparel stores within JCPenney locations in order to entice the Millennial customer. The American Apparel for JCPenney brand presents the right merchandise, at the right price, at the right time. The brand's well-established credibility and style are perfectly tailored for the lifestyle values of the Millennial customer.
Elva Jiang (B.F.A., Fashion, Senior)
Glass Ceiling at JCPenney empowers the young, business-minded Millennial woman who strives to transcend economic and social boundaries to take over the "corner office" and become the top executive of a company. The sophisticated yet trendy selection of styles allows our customer to present herself professionally in all business occasions while expressing confidence and individuality.
An Ostrich. Doritos. The chance to be seen by one of the largest television audiences in history. Not getting the connection? Keep reading.
"Breakroom Ostrich," by a team from Atlanta-based FUGO Studios, including cinematographer Richard Webb (B.F.A., Film and Television, 2005) and Brandon Morris (B.F.A., Motion Media, 2010) is one of five finalist commercials, out of thousands submitted, in the Doritos Crash the Super Bowl ad contest.
What made this spot by Savannah College Art and Design alumni break through for a real shot at the $1 million prize?
An ostrich named "Clyde" had a little something to do with it. Though Clyde wasn't invited, Brandon and Richard will attend Super Bowl XLVIII with the other Doritos finalists and watch on the edge of their private suite seats to see whether "Breakroom Ostrich" will be one of two finalist ads to air during the big game. I caught up with them before they depart for New Jersey.
Thread: What led you to enter the Doritos Crash the Super Bowl contest?
Richard and Brandon: We've always been interested in advertising. The main reason for entering the contest, besides the awesome prizes, is to truly learn what makes a commercial successful. There is a true art to getting your message across in 30 seconds, and the Doritos Crash the Super Bowl contest allows us to sharpen our skills every year.
T: How did you come up with the concept "Breakroom Ostrich"?
R & B: The spot was written by director Eric Haviv and VFX supervisor Bryan Westberry. The concept was born out of Eric's longtime fascination with ostriches and a solid brainstorming session over a beer or two. Another factor that drove the idea was the success of previous Crash the Super Bowl entries. There is no formula to winning this contest, but it helps to pay attention to what works and what doesn't. There were a few different versions of the script floating around in pre-production. One idea was based on the hilarious way ostriches eat, but we figured we probably wouldn't get the shots we needed from the birds. We really went into production with the notion that the ostriches themselves would dictate where we could go with the final spot.
T: Where in the world did you find Clyde?
R & B: Clyde was found by a cold call to Bird Brain Ostrich Ranch in Sherills Ford, N.C. The owners were so accommodating, which was a huge help. Believe it or not, there aren't too many ostrich farms near Atlanta, so when we found one that was eager to help a few young filmmakers, it was very exciting.
T: What challenges did Clyde pose on set? Any problems that made you think you couldn't pull it off?
R & B: The main challenge in filming Clyde is that he is a big, mean, flightless bird. Ostriches are virtually un-trainable. In fact, as the shoot day wore on, it seemed like they just wanted to do the opposite of what you needed them to do. Our initial plan was to get the ostriches in front of a green screen, which would make visual effects much easier. As it turned out, Clyde was terrified of the green screen. These birds knew something was up immediately, and it made the shoot day a real gamble. Once we realized we were in a plan B situation, we knew that it would be up to the magic of visual effects to make this spot happen. We brought the footage back and did a couple of tests, which came out great. This was a wonderful boost for morale, and we decided to move forward with the office portion of the shoot.
T: When did you know that you had a winner, or at least a finalist, on your hands?
R & B: Honestly, we never had that feeling until we were notified. We are always our own worst critics and once you watch something 100 times during post-production, you start to wonder if it's funny or not. Luckily, we started to get a great response from the people we showed it to, and we knew that, win or lose, we had something we were proud of.
T: Did you get any advice or learn anything from other SCAD alumni who have entered the Doritos contest before?
R & B: We always enjoyed the entries from the Dandy Dwarves, who are SCAD alumni.
T: What would you do with the $1 million prize?
R & B: Besides buy an ostrich farm of our own? You know, the four of us have been working hard and honing our craft for years now, and we want to make a feature film soon. I think $1 million would make our dreams come true.
There was a time during my freelance television production days when I would have gone anywhere for work. In fact, being able to uproot from Atlanta and moonlight in a new city for six to ten weeks of production sounded like the ultimate adventure. Where to live? No matter. I would apply to the job first and answer this question second, knowing there had to be some college friend or distant relative in said city who would welcome a carpetbagger.
Thanks to Savannah College of Art and Design, however, college friends and distant relatives alike may never have to receive another call from a roaming creative professional looking for an available couch.
SCAD's answer to temporary urban digs, or permanent urban digs sans the extra square footage, lies in the micro-housing experiment opening at SCAD Atlanta this spring called SCADPad. Yes, parking included, but that's not the only thing that distigushes this project from its brothers and sisters in the micro housing movement, like San Francisco's SmartSpace or the "Making Room" exhibit at the Museum of the City of New York.
If you're a SCAD student in Savannah or Atlanta, go to SCADPad.com for a chance to live in this one-of-a-kind space. Artists and designers, to take a gander at leaving your imprint on SCADPad's interiors and exteriors, email firstname.lastname@example.com for information on the RFP, submission deadline Jan. 20.
Three prototype dwellings are currently underconstruction. In April, these three versions of SCADPad will host three rotations of students who will live in the units for two-week cycles. As an extension of the work that School of Building Arts students began this summer and fall, this quarter students from additional programs have been assigned the task of making the SCADPad prototypes functional and even fun.
Industrial Design students will create modular wall systems for the bathroom, kitchen, and exteriors, as well as ceilings and floors. Interactive Design students will work on the dwelling systems, like water management, while Sustainable Design students will address solid waste, energy waste, and water collection.
Last but not least, Interactive Design and Game Development students will create video games to promote social interaction between SCADPad residents, while also exploring how technology can contribute to a sense of community in this experimental neighborhood. Furniture Design students will outfit the common areas with tables and chairs where residents can lounge.
Stay tuned for details on how the prototypes are progressing.
Emerging from Working Class Studios' prolific design laboratory this week is the Spring 2014 collection of products for the home. Check out the catalog that's fresh off the presses. Or see these items in person, before they land in stores like Nordstrom, Uncommon Goods, or Smithsonian Gift Shops, at the Atlanta International Gift & Home Furnishings Market (Jan. 7-14), Chicago Market: Living and Giving (Jan. 16-22), Seattle Market Week (Jan. 18-21), or NY Now (Feb. 2-6).
The result of Savannah College of Art and Design artists' grit and genius, the Working Class Studio collections hold more meaning than most trinkets of a similar function. Here's a peek at the process and inspiration that contributed to these items coming to kitchen counters, coffee tables, and nightstands throughout the U.S. and abroad soon.
The Katherine Collection Lantern
Katherine Mirabito (B.F.A., Industrial Design)
"I really enjoy knowing that what I design may one day make someone's day just a little brighter, even if it's just for an instant."
The Yan Collection Lamp
Yan Zhao (M.A., Furniture Design)
"My inspiration came from furniture joints, nature flowers and the golden section shape, which is the shape of the lamp.
MUJI Art Director Kenya Hara's design philosophy called 'Emptiness' also inspires me a lot."
The Danielle Collection
Danielle Hansen (B.F.A., Fibers)
"While designing my collection, I was focused on Peru, specifically the mountains and plant life. I wanted to take these natural elements and transition them into modern textiles."
The Eda Collection, Little Red Riding Hood, and Three Little Pigs Placemats
Eda Sy (B.F.A., Graphic Design)
"The Eda Collection is inspired by springtime blooms and the harvest season, where everything is starting to come alive. The Three Little Pigs series is inspired by the popular children's tale. I wanted to tell the story in a new light, but still make it familiar and relatable to people. I broke it down to different characters and materials for the houses, and used these as motifs to create the overall design."
The Lauryn Collection
Lauryn Reiners (B.F.A., Fibers)
"I am a board game fanatic. When we were asked to design a collection of items that would be an 'impulse buy,' games immediately came to mind. They're perfect for all ages and you can never have too many. Even better, by screen printing them they become super easy to store, easy to carry, and they have that unique twist WCS is known for."

It was probably the most amazing urban creation of the Inca Empire at its height; its giant walls, terraces and ramps seem as if they have been cut naturally in the continuous rock escarpments. The natural setting, on the eastern slopes of the Andes, encompasses the upper Amazon basin with its rich diversity of flora and fauna."

Apple rumored to ditch glass back for aluminum with iPhone 5A new rumor claims that Apple will abandon the glass back design it introduced with the iPhone 4, and replace it with a new aluminum back, similar to the very first iPhone, with its next model due out this summer.
The report claims that issues with scratches and paint mixture for the white iPhone 4 have allegedly prompted Apple to switch to aluminum, according to Taiwan's Economic Daily News (via Macotakara). Citing a Chinese source, the publication claims that Apple will adopt a design similar to the iPod touch for the iPhone 5.
In addition to scratching and difficulty painting the glass back of the iPhone 4, the report claims that the weight of the glass has prompted Apple to reconsider its use in the fifth-generation handset.
Apple is also rumored to be looking to abandon the steel outer frame of the iPhone 4, which doubles as the device's antennas. That design decision led to bad publicity when it was discovered that covering a section of the antenna could degrade a wireless signal.
Instead, the report claims that Apple will use a special resin for the Apple logo on the back of the device. Cellular and Wi-Fi data will reportedly travel through the logo, just like Wi-Fi does on the iPad.
Finally, the Taiwanese newspaper also states that there is "no doubt" the iPhone 5 will sport the same A5 processor as the forthcoming iPad 2. It also predicts Apple will stick with its typical annual release schedule, announcing the device at its annual Worldwide Developers Conference, in June or July, as it has done in years past.

- Samsung Galaxy S6 delivers poor graphics performance vs. Apple iPhone 6 Plus
- Todoist for iOS gets major upgrades, New York Times creates 'one-sentence stories' for Apple Watch
- Reviewers say Samsung's Galaxy S6 tops Android heap, but S6 Edge is solution in search of problem

This question is for the old timers.
We've all seen the... rather heated comments about the design of Enterprise for the 2009 movie, so I was wondering if something similar happened in '79 when TMP came out and the now-classic redesign was made.
I don't think so. The bigger problem was the film being a rehash of The Changeling and Nomad with a bit of The Immunity Syndrome with the scale of the cloud and the endless fly through.

New Bermuda Sod Mowing Height
Have new bermuda sod that has been down about 5 weeks. Lawncare professional came by and suggested cutting at lower height to fill in gaps and thicken. Currently mowing at 2.75".
At what height is appropriate for this type of grass, and how would you recommend getting it to that height? Gradually mow down to new height week-by-week, or one height Saturday and then follow up Wed/Thurs with a further height reduction?
Would appreciate any help. Not familiar with this type of grass.
Bermuda grass thrives when it's mowed low. Under low to moderate levels of management, Bermuda should be cut at a height of 3/4 to 1-1/2 inches, which may require mowing one to three times per week.
Your current mowing height is way too high and I suggest lowering the cutting height over the next few mowing's, until you get to about an inch. Also bermuda is a heavy feeder requiring fertilizing at least every other month during the growing season. Fertilize once a month for optimum results.
Bermuda is a very misunderstood grass. Mowing it at an inch or less this time of year as Texas Weed suggests is insanity. It will likely kill it. With temperatures in the 90s and above keep it at 2.5" for now. If you desire shorter grass mow it one notch lower each time you mow if the grass is tolerating it. Bermuda can look good anywhere from almost no height at all to about 3 or 3.5 inches but in the really hot part of the year the extra height will help. Frequent mowing is the key. Mow it too late and you will see the yellow part of the plant for a week or so. Water your sod like there's no tomorrow in this heat. I'm in Arkansas as well and have 3 acres of the stuff.
I've been growing and maintaining Bermuda, St. Augustine, and other grass on my own since about 1961 so I'm not totally inexperienced. I know that tx weed has a sod farm. That also means he has good soil, equipment, irrigation, and time to handle anything nature can throw at him. The average homeowner usually has marginal soil, sometimes very little irrigating capability, little time, and can't always mow often enough. Mowing Bermuda at less than one inch in this 95 degree heat will leave your yard brown.....unless you have almost perfect soil, great irrigation, and can mow and fertilize it often enough. I was mowing my Bermuda yard with a 9 foot Jacobsen reel type fairway mower earlier this year at about 7/8" and needed to mow everyday. I was cutting off a half inch or more everyday. If I waited several days I'd have to use a rotary mower and then the fairway mower because the grass was growing so fast. The best way to help your grass survive this heat wave is to raise the mowing height some, water often, mow often so as to not chop too much off at once.
In Bentonville I am 99% sure you have Tifway Bermuda sod. The finer textured Bermudas like Tifway are best maintained at 1 inch or less. If you go over that it will take on a Puffy look, thin out, and will be easily scalped. Keeping it short will allow it to thicken up choking out all weeds, recovers quickly from wear, and an overall healthier grass.
Keep it short, watered, and fed. In the late fall a few weeks before your first frost you can raise the cutting height to 2 inches to add some winter freeze protection.
Well, this has been extraordinarily helpful. I've always mowed bermuda higher as it got hotter because I thought it made longer roots and held water better. I sodded the front yard about six weeks ago and it struggled at first (as expected), then looked great, and now as it's gotten hotter and I've raised the mower deck, it's looked less and less healthy.
So I'm going to steadily drop the deck down to 2" over the next week or so and water the heck out of it.
Glad my wife found this thread.

Booting Ubuntu With Systemd Went Surprisingly Well
Published on 12 June 2014 03:37 PM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
13 Comments
Given the talk this week at the latest Ubuntu Developer Summit about
transitioning from Upstart to systemd with the upcoming Ubuntu release cycles
, I decided to see how well it works for opting into systemd with the current Ubuntu 14.10 development state.
On an Intel ultrabook I had a clean install from today of the Ubuntu 14.10 x86_64 daily live image so I decided to go ahead and install systemd. Right now systemd in Ubuntu 14.10 is still at version 204, compared to
systemd 214
that was released yesterday.
When installing the systemd package, the Ubuntu Linux installation doesn't immediately switch from Upstart to systemd but the
kernel command-line parameter within GRUB2 needs to point to systemd. For instructions on playing with the experimental Ubuntu systemd support, see
this earlier post with details
When booting up the Ubuntu 14.10 latest image with systemd 204, the system (to some surprise) booted fine and I encountered no immediate issues. The laptop has been running fine since today and was pleased it was a trouble-free experience. Coming up soon I'll run some boot speed tests, etc. Still though it's worth reiterating that it's not yet clear when systemd will become the default on Ubuntu Linux, just sometime before the 16.04 LTS release.
Have any other Linux test requests? Let me know

Scott sez, "Privacy and security has been a huge problem since the Snowden revelations, and midwest SF/open source software convention Penguicon [ed: near Detroit!] wants to be part of the solution. With Guest of Honor Eva Galperin from the Electronic Frontier Foundation and Cory Doctorow returning as Guest Emeritus, much of their tech track is focused on finding answers to the recent privacy problems highlighted by Snowden. Pre-registration tickets are available until April 1st. Programming was just announced." (Thanks, Scott!)
Archivist Rick Prelinger sez, "I'm bringing a new archival 'mixfilm' on Detroit's rich history to the beautifully restored, vintage-1927 Detroit Film Theatre this weekend. This is the fourth of my Detroit compilations, and it's packed with new footage (especially home movies shot by Detroiters themselves) that's never before been publicly screened. It's a fully participatory show, meaning that viewers (hopefully you) are invited to identify places, people and events, ask questions, and converse with one another as the film unreels. And it's anything but nostalgic -- rather than lamenting what's gone, it aims to contribute to the ongoing, spirited discussion about Detroit's future, and encourage people to talk with one another."
Events: Detroit Film Theatre — The Detroit Institute of Arts Auxiliary (Thanks, Rick!)
A reader writes, "In late October, we shot some video in Detroit's abandoned Packard plant. The reasons included, to test a motorcycle I built, and also to practice flying our drone. This is not a closed course, and not a professional rider. We were just looking to have some fun. Please enjoy."
Writeahouse is a Detroit-based charity that trains people in carpentry and related trades by having them renovate houses, then gives the houses to writers (novelists, journalists, poets), encouraging them to relocate to Detroit. Applications open in spring 2014. Writers are given a house that is 80 percent renovated, and are responsible for finishing the work and paying insurance and taxes. After two years, they are given the deed to the house, with the stipulation that if they sell the house within five years, Writeahouse gets the right to buy it back at an independently appraised value.

So far, this series includes everything from classic monsters like The Bride of Frankenstein to modern killers from slasher movies. And I've been taking requests; one of my favorites has been Gort, the alien killer robot from the 1950s sci-fi classic, 'The Day the Earth Stood Still.'"

They did it in uniform. Amy Lange with Fox 2 News Detroit:
A Good Samaritan snapped photos of what appeared to be two men impersonating police officers involved in a pistol-whipping and robbery outside a Citgo gas station on Detroit's east side on July 21. Once Fox 2 aired those photos, an even more disturbing picture developed. ... Now under arrest are two police sergeants, a 47-year-old officer and 20-year veteran.
Don't worry, everything will be ok, they have a Robocop statue.
I enjoyed Dark Rye's video about I3's Nicholas Britsky and the maker movement in Detroit. Dark Rye's entire Detroit issue is excellent.
Rick Prelinger sez, "I'm not a Detroiter, but I've been visiting from time to time since the 1980s, and I hope you will too. It's really unfortunate that most of what we see and hear about it amounts to repetition of the same old cliches -- deindustrialization, poverty, ruins, hipsters, cheap houses. But Detroit's much more than that. It's one of America's most fascinating cities, and if you want to see its unique combination of long-term residents, mostly African American, with rock-hard faith in their city, and new Detroiters aspiring to build Utopia, you better get on a plane soon.
"And when you go, bring Belle Isle to 8 Mile. I just got my own copy, written by three siblings who are seventh-generation Detroiters. It's full of hundreds of city landmarks, eating places and arts spaces, but it's more than the ordinary hip insider travel guide. I see it as testimony to places and businesses that have survived years of adversity and disrespect, as well as an incredibly deep guide to the new Detroit, which is an uncommonly exciting city. Excellent, inspiring read."

Kathe Koja's brilliant novel Under the Poppy -- a dark, romantic, swirling wartime intrigue -- was adapted for stage in her hometown of Detroit. It had a very successful run, and the crew and cast are coming together for a final series of performances this April, where the audience is encouraged to sport Victorian fancy dress. If I could make it to Detroit, I would be there for every show.
Poppy opens in a middle-European town on the eve of war, sometime in the late 19th century: a disreputable and dirty town full of brothels and cutpurses and spies and intrigue. One such brothel, Under the Poppy, stands apart from the others: it is more than seller of sex: it is a stage where every night, whores act out fantastic playlets, spurred on by the virtuoso piano-playing of a tongueless player who expresses himself in mime and music.
To the Poppy comes Istvan, a puppeteer whose mecs -- elaborate clockwork automata -- are perfectly suited to the Poppy's stage, being endowed with enormous clockwork organs and Istvan's bawdy and funny-cruel ventriloquism. But Istvan isn't just a travelling jongleur; he is the long-lost brother of Decca, the madame of the house, and the long-lost lover of Rupert, the front-of-the-house man. All three were orphans together in the long-ago, until love and anger drove them apart. Now, reunited, they might have all they ever wanted.
Except for the war. The war, threatening from the distance, is coming to town. With it come conspirators and commanders: Jurgen Vidor, a sexually sadistic mercantile empire-builder; Mr Arrowsmith, the special aide to to the coming forces, and the General, commander of the armies and participant in the vast conspiracy that seeks to take all of Europe for a small cabal of rich and secretive men.
War descends, dreams are smashed, old friendships split at the seams, blood is spilled, the brave are braver, the cowards cover themselves in shame, and coarse soldiers take up residence in the Poppy. When the players and the whores flee for Brussels, the dream is at an end.
This is just the first act, and it's merely the setup for a second act that's long enough to be a book in its own right, in which the stories of minor and major characters retwine: love and betrayal, blackmail and beatings, sex and death, all in that gummy blackness of stained cobbles and old blood.
This book made me drunk. Koja's language is at its poetic best, and the epic drama had me digging my nails into my palms. It's like a Tom Waits hurdy-gurdy loser's lament come to life, as sinister as a dark circus.

John Dunivant, the man behind Theatre Bizarre -- the legendary underground Halloween masquerade -- will once again hold Detroit's most elite partygoers in his thrall using the seductive force of his latest creation -- The Summoning.
For the first decade of the 21st century, Theatre Bizarre broke the laws of man and nature. On one night each year, a dark carnival came to life in the shadow of the now abandoned Michigan State Fairgrounds in one of the Motor City's most dangerous neighborhoods. The lucky few who were able to get tickets for the annual event were treated to a show unlike any other, at a place that could only exist in a city that has better things to do than enforce zoning laws. Complete with ferris wheel, a roller coaster and a half-dozen stages, Theatre Bizarre was an immersive, decadent, pyrotechnic marvel until it became too large for even Detroit to ignore. In 2010 it was shut down. Thousands of diehard fans and true believers mourned.
In 2011, Dunivant and his crew (most of whom are volunteers) introduced the world to their new home and their new direction. The Initiation was held in late October at Detroit's Masonic Temple -- the largest temple of its kind in the world. The venue's confounding architecture and shadowy history dovetailed perfectly with Dunivant's new vision.
"There's a secret society," explained Dunivant. "Templum Balatro. The Temple of the Fool. We celebrate decay -- the decay of society, of moral fiber, of the flesh. We don't whistle past the graveyard. We dance in it."
The sprawling temple played host to hundreds of music acts, sideshow performers, burlesque dancers, dominatrixes, suspension artists and the onstage branding of volunteers from an eager pool of thrill-seeking attendees. In cloaks and masks, the crowd reveled in the shameless, sweaty decadence of unfettered indulgence. Last year, the revelers were initiated. This year, they are summoned.
The Summoning will be held on October 20, 2012 at The Masonic Temple at 500 Temple Street in downtown Detroit. The doors open at 7pm. Included in the featured acts will be Miss Exotic World of 2010, Miss Roxi DLite. Food and drinks will be available for purchase. All attendees must be 21 years of age or older. Costumes are mandatory. Tickets will be available for $65 each beginning Saturday, September 15 at the DIY Street Fair in Ferndale. Details about online and retail sales of tickets are available at theatrebizarre.com.
In Bloomberg, Chris Christoff reports on the city of Detroit's plan to switch off up to half of its municipal streetlights, reducing or eliminating public lighting in "distressed" areas, noting that other cities, including neighboring Highland Park, as well as Colorado Springs, have already done this:
A single, broken streetlight on the northeast side brings fear to Cynthia Perry, 55. It hasn't worked for six years, Perry said in an interview on the darkened sidewalk where she walks from her garage to her house entrance.
"I'm afraid coming in at night," she said. "I'm not going to seclude myself in the house and never go anywhere."
In southwest Detroit, businesses on West Vernor Highway, a main commercial thoroughfare, have sought $4 million in private grants to fix the situation themselves. The state would pay $2.5 million, said Kathy Wendler, president of the Southwest Detroit Business Association.
Jamahl Makled, 40, said he's owned businesses in southwest Detroit for about two decades, most recently cell-phone stores. He said they've have been burglarized more than a dozen times.
"In the dark, criminals are comfortable," Makled said. "It's not good for the economy and the safety of the residents."

None of us have ever made a giant solid metal permanent sculpture before. It turns out to be a pretty expensive process (who would have thought?), but not too much for the world to fund. After talking to numerous sculptors and metal workers, the current game plan is this: We can take a relatively small figure of RoboCop (conceivably even an action figure), have it 3D scanned by lasers (cool!) and scale its form to create a light-weight model of any size we'd like, which can then be used to pour and cast liquid metal. Casey V. Westbrook and crew are currently leading the charge to create a weatherized 7 foot tall iron statue. Take a look at his work here. The last project Casey worked on was an epic action installation with Matthew Barney in Detroit. See a picture and read about it in Art Forum here.People who pledge $100 will get a limited edition T-shirt with original artwork by project organizer John Leonard. $35 gets you a commemorative pin. Detroit needs a Robocop statue [Kickstarter.]
So far as the standard lines are concerned, the biggest change for 1960 will be the virtual abandonment of fins by the finniest company--Chrysler. Sweeping fender lines will be seen on the 1961 Plymouth rather than the upraised extensions of the past; there will be a complete re- vamping of that line's body shell in the wake of its not-fully-successful 1960 selling season.PREVIEW OF THE 1961 CARS (Jul, 1960)
The smoothing and new treatment of the Plymouth will be echoed in variations on the other Chrysler Corp. cars; the fin treatments on those other cars will be reduced to a bare minimum. And the daddy of big fins, Cadillac, is going to de-fin if reports are true.
What some stylists call "blades" will tend to replace fins all through the industry, blade treatment being what you saw this past year on Ford and Chevrolet.
The Chrysler wedge shape will continue but less exaggeratedly. GM bodies will provide more headroom. Ford's bodies will be more square at the corners than heretofore; their blades will slant upward a little more than was the case in 1960. Ford will introduce a kind of grille treatment at the rear, embellished with bull's-eye taillights like those of past years.
What surprises most people who've heard that there are no grocery stores in Detroit is that there are actually independent stores far more appealing than any chain. One of the nicest grocery stores in Detroit is Honeybee La Colmena (I wrote an extensive profile about the store here). Honeybee is owned and operated by individuals who grew up and still live in the neighborhood where the store is located and they have created dozens of jobs for their neighbors. Honeybee has some of the best produce and prepared foods in the metro area, and it is actually a Detroit supermarket where people from the suburbs come into the city to shop.Griffioen admits that many of the areas of the city are un- or underserved and living in "food poverty", but wants the press to focus on the innovative solutions the community has come up with to remedy this, like a church-owned ice-cream truck full of fresh produce.
In addition to Honeybee, Southwest Detroit is also served by several other excellent Supermercados, including E & L, La Fiesta Market, Gigante Prince, Ryan's, and dozens of smaller mom-and-pop grocery stores. The far east side has Joe Randazzo's Produce Market for extremely affordable produce, and the far westside has Metro Foodland, a fine independent supermarket serving Rosedale and Grandmont for more than 25 years. An individual recently purchased a vacant storefront in the middle class neighborhood of Lafayette Park (where I live) and plans to open a full-service supermarket there this Spring. He's bullish on its prospects despite another supermarket operating three blocks down the road and the neighborhood's close proximity to Eastern Market. A family that's been in the Detroit grocery business since the 1950s is reopening their Ye Olde Butcher Shoppe on Woodward Avenue in a new Midtown location this year, complimenting the offerings at Kim's Produce just down the road, as well as Goodwells Natural Foods a few blocks over.

And yes, this entire thing was predicted by David Byrne in 1988 in the song "(Nothing But) Flowers" on the final Talking Heads album Naked.
Operating on a scale never before attempted in this country, the city would demolish houses in some of the most desolate sections of Detroit and move residents into stronger neighborhoods. Roughly a quarter of the 139-square-mile city could go from urban to semi-rural.
Near downtown, fruit trees and vegetable farms would replace neighborhoods that are an eerie landscape of empty buildings and vacant lots. Suburban commuters heading into the city center might pass through what looks like the countryside to get there. Surviving neighborhoods in the birthplace of the auto industry would become pockets in expanses of green.

Films from Prelinger Archives: Lost Landscapes of Detroit
For the past four years I've been putting together bits of archival footage (especially amateur and home movies) that show vanished places, people and events in San Francisco. The past two compilations, sponsored by Long Now Foundation, are free to view here.
Now I've been given the chance to do the show I've always wanted to do: Lost Landscapes of Detroit. It's happening February 10 at Museum of Contemporary Art in Detroit.
This isn't going to be a narrative of urban decline or the "ruins porn" that's become fashionable. Rather, it's a collection of amazing and almost-all-lost footage that celebrates a vibrant, busy and productive Detroit from 1917 through the 1970s. The idea is to bring these images back to Detroiters for their contemplation and use as they rebuild their city for the future.
In that spirit, at the screening I'm going to give out copies of the show so people in Detroit can reshow and remix it, and it'll be online at the Internet Archive after the screening.
Streets With No Name (via Making Light)
This past winter, the snow stayed so long we almost forgot what the ground looked like. In Detroit, there is little money for plowing; after a big storm, the streets and sidewalks disappear for days. Soon new pathways emerge, side streets get dug out one car-width wide. Bootprints through parks veer far from the buried sidewalks. Without the city to tell him where to walk, the pilgrim who first sets out in fresh snowfall creates his own path. Others will likely follow, or forge their own paths as needed.
In the heart of summer, too, it becomes clear that the grid laid down by the ancient planners is now irrelevant. In vacant lots between neighborhoods and the attractions of thoroughfares, bus stops and liquor stores, well-worn paths stretch across hundreds of vacant lots. Gaston Bachelard called these les chemins du désir: pathways of desire. Paths that weren't designed but eroded casually away by individuals finding the shortest distance between where they are coming from and where they intend to go.

You're probably wondering why I've been doing so many posts on Hayden Panettiere, when all I do is make fun of her. Well, I have to admit I'm beginning to warm up to her. And I do like the fact that the girl goes to the gym and is taking care of her little body. Notice I haven't even called her a midget yet this time around, and that's because I'm beginning to look past Hayden Panettiere's short-comings and focusing on her positives. Such as her tiny nips piercing through her tank top in these pictures. Now if she keeps that up, I'll forget that she's only 18 years old. Wait a sec, that's another positive! Hayden's on a roll today.

I just mailed a money order to a shop in VA via Priority Mail with Delivery Confirmation on 11/30. When I check the tracking it doesn't show that it's Priority Mail Class and it still hasn't arrived. I recently sent another money order the same way two weeks ago to VA and it got there in 2 days. Has anyone else started to notice anything like this with USPS lately? Has the holiday rush, errors and delays started already?

It's the new postal training noboma has instituted.
He has the airline's union baggage handlers training the postal workers.
your money order made it to Richmond and got stolen. Richmond's sort facility has more thieves working for it car theft ring. I have lost over $400 to that effing place. Don't worry you won't get it back either because the postmaster down there is an effing moron and more than likely the one behind it all because he/ she won't ever do a dam thing.
I called the 1-800 number and explained the situation. That was a waste of time. I'll keep my fingers crossed and hope it makes it there sometimes in the near future.....and use UPS Express from now on.
You can until Obama takes them over.

Everyone wants their pay frozen. You still expect great service? /endsarcasm
Sucks, the postal service is a bear to deal with if you have a problem. Best of luck!
I don't want their pay frozen. But when they are thieving from you year and year how are we supposed to feel about them?
What how come we don't have a postal worker on the forum? I mean we got everything from CEO's to ditch diggers around here.
BEWARE!!! The toes you step on today may be connected to the ass you kiss tomorrow.
PM Tango about his upcoming SHARTFOO courses.
Postal workers (along with congress) are exempt from the proposed wage
freeze, so that's not the reason.
The reason is they are a bunch of inept idiots. The "tracking" feature is a
total joke. Everytime I've paid attention to it, I have the package in hand
before it even updates to "in transit". Absolutely NO consistency. Package
will make it across country in 2 days, next one takes 2 weeks. Had one
transfer from Fedex to USPS 143 miles from me---showed up 31 days later.
2 months on a money order once--it DID show up. They "lost" a flat rate
box with 2000 124 gr 9mm bullets in it. The list goes on.
HOWEVER--Flat rate shipping is the cheapest way to ship lots of stuff.
It's just a crap shoot with no accountability if there is a problem.
Yup, USPS is a gamble. I ordered a flip up front sight for my AR and USPS lost it. And they were no help whatsoever in trying to track it. Fortunately the retailer is sending another one (hopefully UPS).

From the Mouseplanet weekly update:
A new flag retreat ceremony
One of the frequently overlooked ceremonies is the flag retreat ceremony in the Town Square end of Main Street shortly before dusk everyday. A new ceremony has been put in place that may make it a bit more of a destination event.
The entire thing is now about 15 minutes long, and begins with the Disneyland Band marching down Main Street, playing a patriotic arrangement. Upon arriving at Town Square, they surround the flag pole and are then joined by the Dapper Dans, who then sing "Oh Beautiful," accompanied by the band.
Note the Disneyland band and the Dapper Dans.
After this, the official voice of Disneyland thanks military members, veterans, and their families, and invites them to join in at the flag pole when their service anthem is played. Once all the services have been represented, Disneyland security then retires the colors, to the strains of "Retreat." The ceremony concludes with a performance of the national anthem, sung by the Dapper Dans.

A Digital Recorder for Mass Spectra
Volume 12, Number 2 (May 1958) Page 40-46
Caldecourt, V.J.
As a mass spectrum is scanned, the maximum value of each peak is stored in a capacitor. Then the difference between the stored voltage and the lesser voltage seen after the scan has proceeded down the side of the peak operates a peak detector, which in turn initiates measurement of the stored peak height by a digital voltmeter. At the same time the mass is determined by measuring the ion accelerating voltage with a modified self balancing potentiometer equipped with a shaft position digitizer.

Suzanne's place was beautiful and charming as was Portland! She had a thorough list of places to go, eat, shop and it never led us astray! The room was beautiful, nice bathroom, and very comfortable. She was thoughtful about our needs and very helpful. We hope to stay here agin when we go back to Portland which we definitely want to! Thanks Suzanne!!!
Suzanne was a lovely person to communicate with. Even though she was out of town when we arrived, she made sure we had everything we needed. She provided us with a list of her favorite shops and restaurants in Portland, which really helped us get a sense of the local culture here.
Her apartment is a gem -- comfortable, full of personality, and within walking distance to amenities. I'd definitely recommend staying in her beautiful home!
Beautiful neat and clean place exactly as described. Host is very friendly and supportive.
Parking is available on street, but attention is needed to signs giving restricted overnight parking on certain days.
Suzanne was an awesome host. She was super friendly (as was her awesome pup, Marlowe), the apartment was spotless, and she was extremely helpful with recommendations. Suzanne is very warm and approachable--it was great to chat with her the few times we bumped into each other during our stay! The apartment is located in a great area--just a quick walk to the downtown area and plenty of great food/coffee/sightseeing spots. I would definitely recommend Suzanne and her space; we'll be back next time we're in Portland!
Suzanne was such a wonderful host and so sweet. The room was cozy and having our own bathroom was perfect. She took us to yoga the first night we arrived and gave us a detailed list of recommendations and they definitely enhanced our visit. We had the best cold brewed coffee from Tandem, GF donuts for Holy Donuts, OhNOs even made me a gluten free breakfast sandwich...all recommended places. The location was great, and we walked to downtown one night - it took about 20 minutes.
Highly recommend Suzanne and would totally stay again should we find ourselves in Portland again.
Great location, beautiful, well-appointed apartment. Suzanne left us with a detailed, personalized list of local activities and attractions which we found informative and so much fun. She and her partner (and their pup) are the most pleasant and thoughtful hosts one could ask for. The atmosphere of both the apartment and the town is at once inspiring and relaxing. Can't wait to visit again.
Suzanne is a lovely host, and her darling apartment room makes a wonderful home base for exploring the fun town of Portland, Me. The room feels brand-new and very clean. With it's own bathroom and a door that separates the area from the rest of the apartment, the room offers plenty of privacy and comfort.
We spent one night at Suzanne's apartment and the experience was really great. The apartment is even more beautiful and charming than it looks in the photos (hard to believe but true!) and Suzanne is a very kind, warm, and respectful host, full of great ideas for things to do in the area. She even gave us a list of all kinds of suggested places in the area, which was a big help. I highly recommend staying with her!
Suzanne herself was a great host; a lovely, thoughtful person. We got to see many great things in Portland we otherwise wouldn't have due to the detailed list of her favorite places and things in the city she kindly provided us with. Her dog Marlowe is a sweetie pie. The place itself was spotlessly clean, private, (it is the master bedroom and adjoined bath of the apartment), and centrally located in the west end. We woke up to the sound of seagulls in the morning. Parking was a cinch. My partner and I loved Portland and could even see ourselves relocating there (which is very rare, we are die hard new yorkers)---I think mostly due to feeling so at home at Suzanne's, and checking out her favorite places on her list we carried around with us. When we return to Portland, we will 100% definitely stay at Suzanne's again! Thank you Suzanne and Marlowe!
Suzanne and Jay were wonderful guests and lovely people! Couldn't ask for better guests. Would recommend to any other hosts and they're welcome back to BK anytime!
Suzanne communicated well, was very sweet. I only had phone contact with her. She left the cabin in good shape according to the next crew to arrive.
Suzanne came with her partner, Jay, and their dog, Marlow, and I absolutely loved hosting all three. They were incredibly courteous, friendly, and very respectful. They also happen to be very smart, interesting, and lovely people, and I enjoyed chatting with them. I would definitely host them again and recommend them without any hesitation.
