On a warm and sunny day more than ten years ago, I visited the Ebenezer Baptist Church, the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial and the King Center in Atlanta. Having read and heard about the U.S. civil rights movement and struggle for freedom for black people in this country, I was excited to draw links and connections to the anti-apartheid movement. For me, it felt like visiting Robben Island, a place of historic magnitude and significance in my home country of South Africa.

On one of the most storied streets in urban Native America, you can see a dynamic future taking shape. Colorful banners along Franklin Avenue in Minneapolis proclaim the only Native American urban business district in the country. Established in 2010, the American Indian Cultural Corridor features five Native-owned businesses, including a tribally owned bank. The Corridor, reminiscent of New York's Little Italy or San Francisco's Chinatown, spans a half mile of a previously crime-ridden, poverty-stricken neighborhood. Culturally relevant concepts and programs, rooted in the community, are making it possible for residents to build their assets by opening businesses, developing job skills, and owning a home.

When the mainstream media pay attention to Native American communities at all, they most often tell stories of trauma and tragedy. There is truth in many of those stories, of course, but we at Northwest Area Foundation see a different reality that also is true. When we meet with people on reservations and in urban Indian communities, we see energy and vision. We encounter a passion for self-determination in a rising generation of young leaders. And we see innovative Native organizations building assets for the future. We support Native-led asset and wealth building programs that have potential to nurture thriving economies in Indian Country. Job-building programs and wealth-creation models anchored in Native culture have track records of success that should be more widely known and studied. These approaches could help other Native and non-Native communities in their pursuits of lasting prosperity.

I first started working in the community foundation field more than 15 years ago. It goes without saying that I'm a big fan. I believe in this democratic model of philanthropy where the collective power of many creates powerful change. I'm also a fan because most community foundations understand that our work is constantly changing and adjusting to new needs. We cannot stand still. Indeed, the model of community foundation 15 years ago was vastly different than the one I see across the country now. The difference is the greater clarity about our leadership, and about our place-based expertise and connection. Community Foundation Week makes me reflect on that leadership.

As the practice of impact investing matures, evolving from a peripheral concept to a mainstream practice, the momentum around this nascent industry is growing. At a time when governments, foundations and donors look to do more with less, impact investing offers a means to generate social and environmental value with the potential for financial returns. However, this opportunity has often been limited by an overall weak capacity on the demand side of the equation and a resulting lack of investment-ready projects. These limitations undermine the impact investment industry's quest to reach maturity, scale and sustainability.

Dear Philanthropy Community, I've been thinking about our relationship for months. I wasn't really sure how to bring this up, because I'm really worried about offending you. Making you angry has real consequences for the kids I serve. But, as I continue in this work, I realize I also have a role in making the sector stronger. This means, I have a role in making our relationship stronger. And, to be sure, that means that hard truths must be spoken.

Our world has become increasingly dependent upon content to attract people's attention. This content ranges from blogs on the Internet to television shows. Due to global shifts in our economy, economic developers have to work harder to attract companies and individual entrepreneurs. What used to be local efforts to attract job creators from neighboring cities and regions has shifted to competition with states located across the United States and foreign countries.

One of the truisms in information technology is that everything old is new again - well, except maybe for punched cards. We went from big corporate data centers to regional/division corporate data centers back to big corporate data centers and now to even bigger cloud data centers. We have gone from dumb terminals were everything was done on the mainframe, to PCs, and now to virtualized desktops - where everything is run on the central servers. And now, we are back to talking about the IT advantages of telecommuting.
Telecommuting is certainly nothing new. But what is changing is how people are telecommuting and the IT processes and procedures that support them. Gone are the days of modem banks and analog days. Gone are the days when IT departments handed out PCs so people could work from home. And gone are the days when connecting remote employees meant connecting them directly into the corporate network.
When most people think of telecommuting, we hark back to the model that JetBlue made famous: the company supplied the personal computer, monitor, keyboard, mouse, and Internet connection (there is no need to go back to the caveman days with terminals and modems or acoustic couplers!). The PC was company property so that the policies, anti-virus, patches, etc., could all be controlled and managed by the corporate IT department. After all, a lot of employees still didn't even own their own computer.
These PCs had the necessary software pre-loaded on them, be it a thick client or a terminal emulator. When the remote staff connected in - their computers were placed onto the corporate network and became part of the companies extended network. When the PCs needed to be updated, patched, or upgraded - the employee had to bring everything back to the in-house IT department.
What changed? Well... EVERYTHING! There were four basic changes made for teleworking - and each of these changes required the IT department to adapt in different ways. As the ability to provide a realistic work environment kept increasing, we have gone from teleworkers to virtual offices.
One of the first big changes was that users no longer wanted to take a company PC home with them. They had their own perfectly good computer, and wanted to be able to connect using their machines. These machines/users wanted to connect to the company over the Internet instead of through dial-up modems. So IT departments started to increase their network connectivity, add Virtual Private Network (VPN) devices, and put in place intrusion detection/prevention appliances. Many a sleepless night was had by the IT administrator waiting for some remote user to spread a worm or Trojan through the entire organization.
The next big change was also Internet related - the death of thick clients. As browser technologies involved we were finally able to produce thick-client like look-and-feel inside a browser window. Most companies ported their internal applications to use browser-based web interfaces. These browser-based applications were exactly what were needed to allow better remote workers.
Ironically the Internet contributed the necessary technology to the next big change in our march to the virtual office: the move from IPSec-based VPN connections to browser-based SSL connections. IPSec, while a good protocol, proved problematic. Many travelers found out that their VPN connections were either blocked, or that the ISP or hotel lacked the technology to allow IPSec to pass through their networks. Just about every company's helpdesk received a call from some executive complaining about being unable to connect, and the helpdesk would have to try to work with the hotel or ISP to resolve the problem (and usual not be able to).
SSL VPNs resolve that issue because they work through the browser - an application that every PC already had loaded and that every user was already familiar with using. No longer would users have to be given CDs of the VPN software along with installation instructions (and the sure to follow helpdesk call). Most SSL VPN systems function as a proxy to allow dynamic access rights to the user. Instead of connecting them to the network (along with every virus, Trojan, and worm and the person's computer), we can now limit them to accessing the company's Intranet server, or to allow only access to specific company web pages.
Now that we have people using their own computers, over their own Internet connection, to securely access browser based applications - we must be done, right? What could be left? What is left is giving the user the necessary tools to have a virtual office instead of a remote connection.
Remote phone are required. The person needs to have a phone at his desk - even if that desk is 1000 miles away (or more). Here again new technology was required. We needed the new modern voice systems that allow Voice over IP (VoIP) so that we could have corporate phones remotely become part of the corporate telephone system. Even here, this is starting to give way to soft phones - software running on somebody's computer that provides that phone interface.
The remote person needs to know if his/her co-worker is available. After all, she can't simply look over the cubicle wall anymore to see if the coworker is there or not - and she can't see/hear if the co-worker is on the phone. But presence software, tied into the phone and using software on the person's computer, can tell the remote person if that co-worker is on the phone, in a meeting, or even at their desk working on their computer. Such presence software is normally built into an instant messaging client. These clients provide an easy way to communicate with somebody. Instant messaging is the new way to ask: Do you have a second?
The final piece of the puzzle to finally become feasible is video conferencing. IT departments no longer have to purchase expensive cameras, video conferencing servers, and large data connections everywhere. Point-to-point ad-hoc video conferences are easily done today with commercial "webcams" sitting on people's monitors and attached to their computers. In fact, most modern laptops have webcams built into them. Video conferencing allows the visual interfacing that is critical in modern communications. If you think that video is not important, remember that 70% of all our communication information comes from visual "clues". Without providing video conferencing, you are removing 70% of the person's comprehension.
Now that we know how to create a modern telecommuter environment, the question becomes whether we should allow telecommuting. Why are companies, both big and small, investing in this technology? Is this a technology that you should to be implementing?
The biggest advantages to having remote workers and virtual offices are in-house facility costs, expansion, and talent acquisition. Companies that have increased their use of remote workers have benefited from reduced building overhead expenses. One company that I frequently visit has been so successful with their remote worker program that they had to close the on-site cafeteria because there simply wasn't enough staff present to make use of it.
JetBlue used remote employees to staff their reservation lines. These were primarily part-time college educated women who only wanted to work 3-4 hours while their kids were in school. Using remote employees allowed JetBlue to staff across the country - thereby moving calls across the country as people's shifts changed. This is something that could not have been done with a traditional on-site call center.
Sometimes the perfect employee that you need to succeed isn't willing to relocate to where your office is. This leaves employers with the choice of either doing without a key resource, or figuring out how to allow that employee to work from home. Remote employees and virtual offices empower an employer to find the employee that will best contribute to the company - even if that person lives in a mountain cabin.
Those people who wonder if I really mean what I say about the advantages of virtual offices should know that it is what I use. I have a company phone that connects directly over the Internet to the company's phone system. I have an SSL VPN connection to gain access to the internal system. I use Cisco's Jabber service to provide presence information and instant messaging capabilities. And I use Cisco's WebEx Telepresence video conferencing service for when I need "face-to-face" time. The most important lesson I have learned about using a virtual office is to treat it like it is your real office - because the day you decide to wear your fuzzy slippers to the office is the day your boss will have a surprise video conference call with you.

Interviews, Essays, Etc.
Rick Poynor is a writer and critic specializing in design, media, and visual culture—and also founding editor of Eye and a co-founder of Design Observer. He answered some questions from Designers & Books about his book list and also about books and graphic design in general.
Designers & Books: We know the idea of lists of "must read" books about graphic design isn't new to you—and that you have said elsewhere that the value of lists like this lies in their ability to "introduce new possibilities." Of the titles you've chosen, which do you think might be most likely to be seen this way?
Rick Poynor: I'll go for The World Must Change: Graphic Design and Idealism. Everything you need as a thinking, principled, committed designer is there in the two parts of that title. What good is any kind of design without idealism? And if someone doesn't think the world needs to change even a little, then why contemplate a career in design in the first place? The book's critical history of Dutch graphic design, one of the great national design cultures, shows what diverse, open, intelligent, aesthetically inventive graphic communication can achieve. I think younger designers, in particular, would find it eye-opening.
D&B: You have described Tibor Kalman as the most inspirational graphic designer you ever met. In an era of recessions, global competition, and relentless cost cutting and value engineering, does being inspirational matter any more? In the books about graphic design that are now being published, do you see any inspired or inspiring voices?
RP: How can we live without inspirational figures to prize open previously sealed doors and usher us towards new possibilities? In graphic design, I see fewer of these leaders now, though I admire the Dutch team Metahaven, who recently published the book Uncorporate Identity. If there is a shortage of bold, strong, and inspirational designers, who are prepared, like Kalman, to make a public stand for what they believe in, this might tell us something about the stranglehold that over-focused, calculating, market-driven thinking exerts on our times.
D&B: You didn't have the chance to identify any of your favorite fiction. What novels have you read that were particularly meaningful and inspirational to you?
RP: There are too many to list them all, and I'll invariably enjoy several books by the same favorite author. In my teens, it was Kafka, Camus, Sartre, and Dostoyevsky. (I was big on existentialism.) That was also when I discovered J. G. Ballard, the fiction writer who has had most impact on me over the years—as an artist, thinker, social critic, and example—above all for The Atrocity Exhibition, an experimental text that remains utterly gripping. I don't read quite as much fiction as I once did, but it's still important to me. In the past decade, some of the contemporary writers I've enjoyed most are W. G. Sebald (everything), Michel Houellebecq (The Elementary Particles and The Possibility of an Island), and David Mitchell (Ghostwritten, Cloud Atlas). I'm also endlessly absorbed by the macabre short stories of H. P. Lovecraft. If I had to pick a single inspirational text, it would be Herman Melville's mysterious and quietly devastating Bartleby, the Scrivener.
D&B: We are guessing you live with a lot of books. How many in your personal library and how do you have them arranged?
RP: Until you asked I'd never counted them. I now find I have around 3,500 books. They've overrun the shelves, congregated in towering piles, occupied cupboards, and colonized floor space under the bed. The books most essential to my work are organized by category: art, design, photography, film, ideas, culture, and society. I couldn't do what I do without this library. But there's also randomness in the "system." I lose time searching for things. I need to purge.
D&B: What's next up on your "to read" list?
RP: I've been revisiting some old enthusiasms of late, the philosophical science fiction writers Olaf Stapledon and Stanislaw Lem—I'll continue reading them. For too long, I've been meaning to read Gustav Meyrink's The Golem, Russell Hoban's Riddley Walker, and Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale. I read J.-K. Huysmans's Là-Bas recently and it's high time I got around to his Against Nature.
D&B: Where do additions to your "to read" list come from?
RP: I've always scanned and read the latest reviews, and I read different kinds of criticism, where I get leads for future reading. But my sense of what I want to read mostly comes from years of visiting libraries (in younger days) and, more usually now, from bookshops. Books always point to other books. A bookshop, like a library, is a fantastic, spatially organized, easily navigable source of vast quantities of interconnected information about what exists for you to discover and know. If someone devised an online virtual space that allowed you to do this kind of rapid, effortless, multifocal, visual, and spatial browsing—perhaps someone has, though it certainly isn't Amazon or the iPad App Store—we'd applaud them for a brilliant new concept. But these marvelous spaces already exist, at least for the time being, right there in your local shopping street.
D&B: What's the best way for keeping up with the writing you do?
RP: I'm blogging every week at Design Observer, where I have my own pages, and I have posted essays about the visual interpretation of some of the authors I have mentioned above—J. G. Ballard, H. P. Lovecraft, and W. G. Sebald. I write about books regularly on the blog and have a strand there called "On My Shelf," where I revisit a book from my library that is notable in design, content, or both, and is of particular significance to me. So far, these include titles about London architecture, Surrealism, and the 1960s counterculture.

credit score ???'s
I just did my free annual credit reports via annualcreditreport.com. I paid an extra $8 to Transunion to get my credit score...only to realize later that I got a "VantageScore" and not a FICO score. I'm a bit confused by some of the results. I consider my credit to be very good, and refinanced my mortgage early in 2005 to a very good rate. I did divorce in 2005, but paid my ex out for his equity in cash and refinanced the mortgage into just my name. Several joint accounts (credit and mortgage) were closed as a result. My individual accounts were not. I owe about $4K on a car loan for a car that I paid mostly cash (75%) for in 2005 and am paying ahead; it will be paid in about 12 months. The reasons given for my "B" score were:
1. "Available credit on open revolving accts is too low"
I have about $30K in available credit and currently owe only about $2K. Salary is approx $80K/yr. That number is up after some unexpected expenses and Xmas... it will be paid off in 2. "The amount paid on your open real estate accounts is too low."
I refinanced my primary and HE loans into a single 30 yr fixed at an excellent rate in 2005. I pay about 10% extra each month towards principal. I have about $160K in untapped equity (no HELOC or anything), in what remains
3. "Your average credit amount on open real estate accounts is too low." See #2
4. The balances on your open accounts are too high in comparison to their credit limits". Come ON! See #1.
I currently am not looking to get any credit, but am concerned about my credit scores, and am concerned about a "B". No one can predict the future and I can't know if I might need/want some credit in the coming year or two.
Any recommendations on what I can do to make this look better? It seems counterintuitive to open new credit accounts to increase my revolving debt available, but ??? is that part of the key? If so, any recommendations? Should I get a HELOC and not use it to evidence the equity available to me? These seem like silly things to do to manipulate a number. Having more credit will NOT make me spend more. (I was $25K in CC debt once about 12 years ago and climbed out without help, so I am well aware of living within your means.)
First, I'm not sure why you paid anything for your free credit report, but I'd use this as a lever to call them up and have a rep explain this further to you. The Vantage Score is something that was recently developed by the three credit agencies, but it is not very commmonly used. You should have been provided a FICO score for free. I've included a link that has a lot of useful info on FICO and Vantage scores and the relationship between the two.
Second, you should get reports from the other two (Experian and Equifax) for comparison.
Third, you didn't mention what your score was. I have very good credit, but my reports (I belong to Equifax credit monitoring service) always find several things I could improve, but they don't seem to have had any serious, negative consequences.
Good luck. Report back if you find out anything of interest.
Here is a link that might be useful: FICO/Vantage scores
What implications does the 'B' in a VantageScore have? Does anyone use it or care about it?
Most place use the FICO score and that is the one I'd worry about... not a B elsewhere.
Seriously, if it is not widely used (and I do not know that one way or the other), I would not worry about it!
kudzu9 says that you should have been provided a FICO score for free. I have to say that I haven't seen such opportunities lately. I believe that the credit agencies have woken up to the fact that although they have to report any factual information they might have about you, they don't have to tell you how they evaluate that information.
You're half right, and half wrong.
Where you are right is that the credit agencies aren't required to give you details about evaluating info (I was simply suggesting that the OP could ask for an explanation of what seemed to me confusing info after she paid TransUnion).
Where you are wrong is doubting you could get a free credit score. The three major credit agencies are each required by the Federal Government to provide you with a free credit report annually. Below is the link site established by the Feds for that purpose. Be aware that this is the only web site you should use for this purpose because there are other sites that look very similar, but they are going to try to sell you something. As I recall, even using the official site, there are still some pitches to get credit stuff that will cost you, but you can ignore this and proceed on to get your annual free reports. Now don't say that Uncle Sam never did anything for you!
Here is a link that might be useful: Annual Credit Report
My apologies. For some reason I didn't pick up on the distinction you were making about the FICO score. I was just looking at the web site I referenced and, while it's true that the three agencies are required to give you a free credit report, that apparently does not include the FICO score, which you have to pay for. I've been snowbound and spent too much time in front of the computer. I think it's time for me to take a walk and clear my head!
Yes... credit reports are free once annually, but I figured that it was not a bad idea to get a credit score this year for under $10 (I didn't in the last couple of years, and figured I was good). The "VantageScore is 880, which you cannot compare directly to a FICO score apparently; an 880 is a "B" in their eyes.
I, too, am snowbound and therefore doing this today.
Any recommendations?
free credit report-YES
free credit SCORE--NO NO NO
they only are required to give the report that shows what is in your file. but FICO scoring is not included in that.
the only way a consumer can see a true FICO report is to go to myfico.com and pull scores there. unless you see a site that proudly proclaims it is giving you a FICO score, it is what is called a FAKO score and is absolutely worthless when making credit decisions.
checkout creditboards.com. the newbies section there will give you all the info on this you require.
I know nothing about the 'vantage score' but I ran into the same thing when I pulled my fico score before applying for a mortgage. I had both too many credit accounts and too few. Huh??
I never did figure out what it meant; since we were buying a house we were too busy to go chasing around trying to find someone who could interpret the gobbledygook.
Next time, I'd go direct to fico and get their score; the credit bureaus are trying to reclaim some lost revenue by making up a fake 'credit score' that no one uses but that they can sell to unsuspecting consumers.
my experience I have found trans union to usually have a lower score than the other 2 and are not as updated.
the 2 credit inquires that will not affect your score are those done for solicitations and those you pull yourself.
If you haven't in the past year I would get the other 2 and see what they say I would pay the small amount for the scores so you have a baseline.
you may not of been paying the new mortgage long enough which could be why you got that strange response. After taking on a new mortgage it takes a few months for your credit to "settle down"
If you have $30k in available credit with only $2k in balances there is no need to open any new accounts.
pull the other 2 and see how they compare.
Should they have the same odd statements then I would call the credit agencies.
Too many inquiries into your credit report by credit granting organizations can lower your score because it could indicate you are trying to open up too many accounts in a short period. But checking your credit report falls into a special category, and is treated differently by the credit agencies and their computers. It should not trigger any adverse effects, even if you do it a number of times.
Thanks myfask. I already checked all three's credit reports, but only got the score from the one company, just to get an idea. I'll think about it and decide whether to check the other scores or just not worry about it at this point, since I don't need more credit. It's just confusing the way things are worded and the implication that I have both too much and too little CC debt. I appreciate everyone's input.
Kudzu's right... You are allowed an annual self-check of your credit REPORT for free, which is why I've done it for the past several years...just looking for accuracy. One of them lists my ex as my spouse still, so I made sure to send out a letter to them to correct that. I really don't want his credit mixed with mine anymore (mine's better.)
Here is my 'guess' and it is just that...a guess.
Concerning 2 and 3.
refinanced my mortgage early in 2005 to a very good rate.
This now shows as a 'new' loan, and it has not been paid down much in one year, by their way of thinking.
I have about $160K in untapped equity (no HELOC or anything), in what remains
If I understand you correctly, you have equity in your home, but have not applied for a HELOC on it. Right? They don't have any idea really then that you have that equity...right?
Now this is just a 'thought' but you might want to pay off the car loan with some of that equity in your home, and then concentrate all your efforts toward paying off the HELOC. I imagine there will be some who will say 'NO' to doing that though.
I applied and was approved for a HELOC a few years ago, but have never tapped into it. I 'thought' I might want/need it to get the driveway paved, but found another way that was interest free for a year and that was all I needed. I might add that I have no loans 'open' at this time and no revolving credit 'owed', as CC are paid off each month.
My guess is that once the car loan is paid, that your score will improve significantly.
In the meantime your score is a high B, which is still miles above the norm.
Banks are still using Fico's according to a mortgage buddy.
Fico's don't care how much paper you're carrying or what your house is worth. Fico knows that a 30 year is a waste of money.
There is a fine balance between balances/available credit/credit limits and excessive available credit. If you can figure this out, you have a Fico of 800+. No mystery, pay everything on time, even the light bill. Stay away from the "carrot" interest rates that are once again appearing since this how people got buried in the early 90's.
In my experience, credit scores mean little unless you are applying for instant credit, such as a store credit card for a current purchase, where the decision is made by a computer, based on your score.
Other lenders will look at your credit history much closer. For example, I received a prime mortgage rate in 1999, just 2 years after a Chapter 7 discharge. (I am not proud of that, but did learn a lot!) Now, 10 years later, with an impeccable use of credit since, paying all CC bills in full each month, my FICO score is only 663. It doesn't bother me much however, because several mortgage refinances and auto loans since have always been at a prime rate.
A follow-up from the OP... After some investigating, I did decide to go with a small HE loan (not HELOC), with a *fixed* 5.875 rate to refi the auto loan and do a few home improvements; no prepayment penalty. As a result of this, I was able to get my FICO score from the new lender (excellent). Interesting that my FICO was spectacular (as I expected) and the fake "credit score" they sold me was full of it. I plan to throw everything against the HE loan for the next year or two and pay off quickly. Even with some pretty minimal closing costs on the loan, I calculate that I am coming out ahead with the tax deduction I will earn.
edselpdx.. where did you get an HE loan for 5.875%? We're paying prime -1 on our HELOC and it's 7.25. I was going to lock in a lower rate, but USAA isn't offering that low of a rate. Can you tell me where you got it so I can have some ammo for a lower rate?

Ideas on how to cover a wall with wood paneling
LisaJanuary 7, 2013
Just bought a home w/one wall of wood paneling in the dining room. Previous owners painted it cranberry red. Need advise on how to disquise least a year or two until we can tear off, or willing to leave if we can find some great way to disquise it. We plan to paint it same color as rest of room (Benjamin Moore Amulet) for now. Picture #1 is wall w/ previous owner's dining room set. Our dining room set is simple design (see 2nd photo). Any ideas? It's not a huge room, so something low profile needed.

The issue of payment of fees is something left to the discretion of the judge. With a relatively small gap in incomes there may not be a fee award. With a significant but not one sided difference there may be a partial fee assessment.

The unfortunate fact, from your perspective, is that either way he will get a divorce. But without knowing a lot more about your situation the only good advice that can be given is not to sign anything before you have a conversation with a local attorney - in detail - about the marriage. How long have you been married? Are there children? Properties? IRAs or 401ks? All of it is important.

Pendente lite motions are something on which judges have broad discretion. They review the Net Worth Statements and the arguments of the parties, and make a decision which often mirrors the way the judge believes the case will ultimately settle. Savings are a factor, but not necessarily the deciding factor. You should discuss the situation in detail with a local attorney. This type of motion is rarely a do it yourself project on which a pro se litigant will do well.

What you need to do is stop fooling around and hiding and contact a local divorce lawyer, file for divorce and have her served. That will put into place automatic orders preventing certain transactions - which you should discuss with your attorney as soon as you retain one!

It's hard to understand why you canceled doctors appointments if you have a serious condition. You should write a letter to the insurance company and to the employer by certified mail demanding that they terminate the unauthorized insurance. You should also send a letter to the State Insurance Commission asking them to institute an investigation of possible insurance fraud, with a copy to the insurer and the company. That may get some attention.
Selected as best answer
If you file for divorce you must have your husband properly served. Then if he fails to appear the divorce can be granted on a motion for a default. You may wish to have an attorney assist you with this.

Interview with Morgan Jameson
Author of House of Apache Fires
Dora Machado
Welcome to MB4, Morgan. It's great to have you here. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What's your background, when did you start writing and why do you write?
I think that, like most writers, I write because I have stories to tell. I wrote my first short story in fourth or fifth grade after seeing Michael Crichton's 'The Andromeda Strain'. It was horrible, but the teacher liked it and was very encouraging. I've been writing ever since.
Your new novel, House of Apache Fires is a World War II historical thriller that takes place simultaneously in Germany and Arizona, Flagstaff area. How did you come up with the title of the novel and why this particular period of history?
I had written over half of my second novel, but I needed to go to British Columbia to do some research, which I couldn't afford at the time, so I began looking for a local story. I found the website: sedonalegendhelenfrye.com purely by accident and saw 'House of Apache Fires' which made me curious. The more I looked into the Frye's history, and all the people they knew, the more fascinated I became. Everything came out of that initial find.
It began as a murder mystery, but everywhere I looked, I found something that I found fascinating, like the Horten flying wing, or the German Raiders, and it just kept growing in scope. It ended up as a sort of Indiana Jones type story - a "WWII Western" so to speak. With the Frye's knowing Elliot Roosevelt and Faye Emerson, Harry Truman and Howard Hughes among others, I found it easy to enrich the story by using real people. I find WWII fascinating, and there are dozens of hidden stories. Two of my favorite movies of all time are "Where Eagles Dare" and "The Guns of Navarone", both based on Alistair Maclean books. That's the kind of story I wanted to write. I mean, if you're going to write a thriller, make it thrilling.
Who is your favorite character in the novel and why? Will we see this character in a sequel?
I think Cates is by far my favorite character. I don't have a sequel planned, per se, but am working on a parallel story with a different main character—an OSS agent in Europe, at the moment. Cates sort of surprised me. He is an interesting guy, with a rich history. I have a couple ideas I've started working on, such as how he met Rosa. All I can tell you is Pancho Villa will be involved.
When I read House of Apache Fires, I was impressed with your description of period weapons, planes and ships, as well as by your knowledge of the history and geography of the Flagstaff area. How long did it take you to research the details that enrich the story and how did you go about researching the novel?
It took a long time to do all the research on the book, although I found the German story much harder to write. Fortunately I have a friend who's a WWII German reenactor and who has done a number of things for the History Channel. He pointed me in the right direction. I live in the Sedona/Flagstaff area, so that part was relatively easy. Lots of fact checking when writing a historical novel.
What was your greatest challenge in writing this novel? Your greatest reward?
I think the biggest single challenge was flow. Arranging the chapters to constantly build tension, yet give the reader a complete backstory was a challenge. I cut a lot out of the book, actually a third plot line and a main character, but that's becoming another book as we speak. The greatest reward is undoubtedly all the wonderful comments from my readers. "I couldn't put it down!" and "It'd make a great movie!" are common themes. It really means a lot to me that people love it.
What kind of reader will enjoy reading House of Apache Fires?
Audience? I think anyone who enjoys History, Thrillers or Westerns. It is, after all, a "WWII Western" as strange as that sounds. It's gratifying to hear from a number of female readers that they loved it also, and they all commented on the romance angle.
What can readers expect next from Morgan Jameson?
I'm re-editing my first novel, The Winnemucca Curling Club to give back to my agent. It's literary fiction, and more character driven – a story of intolerance, racism, but also redemption. I've got three other books in process including a YA post-apocalyptic story that is feeling like it might become a trilogy. I don't like being trapped as a writer in one genre.
Thank you so much for visiting with our MB4 readers today, Morgan. We wish you much success with your novel.
Thanks for having me!

Who's Who at Mid South Con
Just wanted to say hi, Murderers, before I jet off to the con where I am a panelist. Did I just say that? I am so excited!! I mean really really. I am jumping up and down in my seat. And so today is sort of let's talk about conferences day. Have you been to one? Been a participant of one? Come on now, tell tell. This will be my fourth year of attending a con but my FIRST ever time to be a panelist. Tres excitableness.
Mid South Con HERE click the link to find out more about it and so forth.
So, what is the attraction of a conference with a writer's track?
Well, for one, it is a great learning place. There will be editors and agents and big name authors there sharing their knowledge. And that part of the con is FREE. You get all this great info-INSIDER stuff-absolutely free.
And then there is the fan con. The place where all the lovely people hang out and indulge in their fav sci-fi or fantasy dreams. Nearly everyone dresses up as something like Star Trek, Star Wars, and of course Harry Potter. It's so much fun. I cannot tell you.
So--look one up in your neck of the woods or come on down and be a part of mine. I will be signing books on Pro Row on Saturday before lunch and it would be awesome to see you there!

For Horror Writers - A Contest!
As a courtesy to fellow writers, today we're letting you know about a new writing contest. Here is the blurb from Lauren Harsma, Head of the Authors Community at Inkitt.com, who asked us to share the news with you!
If you thrive on chaos, if you live to be spooked, if you've got a story inside you trying to claw its way out of the darkness in your chest, Inkitt's March writing contest is screaming your name (and screaming and screaming and screaming).
Inkitt – a social writing platform where authors can share their work, get constructive and intelligent feedback, and improve their writing – is sponsoring it's second contest which closes on March 31st.
The theme? The theme this month is "Running Scared: The Most Terrifying Tale Ever Told" (though writers are not required to have this line anywhere in their story – anything horror goes!).
The deadline for the contest is March 31st, so get ghoulish: submit your worst nightmares at http://www.inkitt.com/runningscared.

DUNU DN-12 Trident
"First of all I have to mention overall packaging and design. They're looking extremely rich. Earphones themselves also looks great and unusual. As for sound quality - I'd say that it's OK for the money asked for them. Sound is clear, with nice mids and height. Sometimes bass lacked punch, but it depends on recoding mastering. So money/value - it's a good choice. " --cleg

Hi! Mark Of The Ninja is awesome! Ignore my previous rant here and instead focus on the comment below!
Okay, Mark Of The Ninja literally just clicked with me about five minutes ago. I'm still in the first... level? Area? Map? I'm not really sure how these areas are divided. It decided to drop me right at the beginning of the game, tutorial and all, and I took my time and I started playing around with the movements, grappling hook, wall mounting ability, hanging, etc. to understand what I could do with it and how it could be finessed. I then understood being able to dagger-hit things through doors and vents, and moving quickly out of line of sight to be the most effective.
I'm not really sure why, but nothing clicked with me the first time I played through this area, but going through a second time, it makes sense, so to speak. I'm loving it. The super snappy responsiveness of the controls make sense and is in like with Shank, and if I fuck something up, I can attach to a wall or exit the area to reset the room, which is nice.
So yeah, I'm liking this now.

Floyd Stelly
Floyd Joseph Stelly
PORT BARRE - A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 11:00 a.m. on Wednesday, May 8, 2013, at Sacred Heart Catholic Church for Mr. Floyd Joseph Stelly.

Through his personal bravery and energetic application of his knowledge and skill, he significantly furthered the goal of the United States in Southeast Asia. He was a member of the 607th AC & W Squadron, 615th AC & W Squadron, and 311 AIR Commando Squadron. He retired from the U. S. Air Force in 1974.

He was on the Boxing Team in High School and then further became the Boxing Coach of the St. Landry Boxing Club. He enjoyed being outdoors traveling all over the world and across the states, exercising and walking, and was an avid hunter and fisherman. He looked forward to his gatherings with his family and friends. He was fun loving and had a comical personality. He lived his life to the fullest and cherished each moment. He lived a fulfilling and accomplished lifestyle. He especially enjoyed the company of his dog, Rea.
He was a member of Alcoholic Anonymous for over 40 years. He was an addiction counselor who helped people with addictions at any time. His life was centered towards helping others during their time of need because everyone mattered to him. He touched so many lives and went above and beyond to help others and changed so many lives.

Survivors include his wife of 56 years, Betty Fontenot Stelly of Port Barre; one son, John Anthony Stelly of Tacoma, Washington; two daughters, Vickie Denise Stelly Duplechain and husband, Bob of Port Barre; and Hope Marie Stelly Ramirez and husband, Johnny of Denver, Colorado; one sister and godchild, Geraldine "Jerry" Fontenot and husband, Shelton of Baton Rouge; three grandchildren, Tommy Duplechain of Port Barre; Bobby Duplechain and fiancé, Morgen Harris; and Mark Duplechain and his girlfriend, Mallory Leger; all of Port Barre; one great-grandchild, Lane James Duplechain of Port Barre; also three more godchildren, Jo Lynn Perison, Deanna LeJeune, and Bill Hernandez; two step grandchildren, three step great-grandchildren, and an abundance of nieces and nephews.

Grass pavers
mknelson(9)June 11, 2012
We are in the process of creating an outdoor space with the intent of using the concrete grass pavers (as some do for driveways) that can be set in a grid. My problem is none of the local home supply stores carry them. Does anyone know where I can purchase these in central Florida?

Everybody has been hoping for a sequel to the hit 2004 movie Anchorman ever since it was first released and for a while it seemed like it would be made. However, the studio has repeatedly refused to make the movie and now it appears that Will Ferrell has given up on the idea of it happening anytime some.
"The truth is they don't want to make a sequel. We try and tell them that people constantly ask when we're making one and everyone gets so excited at the thought. But apparently I don't have the power to change their mind, But easy come, easy go. Maybe if it's meant to be it might happen down the line."
The 44 year old actor then joked, "That's what's fun about Ron Burgundy, I can play him when I'm 55 as easily as I can play him now at my current age of 32." Will Ferrell can currently be seen on the big screen in the UK in his latest movie Everything Must Go, which was released this week.

"I was able to add my own personal pics to include the parents and of course include my future grand baby. It was a perfect invitation for a couples shower and in pink since they are having a girl :)"
"This is my second time using Tiny Prints and I've been very pleased both times. Tiny Prints allowed me to customize the invitation for a "sip and see'' for my daughter's second baby so that we could celebrate without having a traditional shower. The order arrived exactly when expected and the preprinted envelopes save so much time!"
"This was a beautiful invitation! I loved how personal it was with the pictures I uploaded. I chose the pearl shimmer finish and it looked amazing! It was super easy to try different fonts, and switch up the template for the writing (I changed the fonts and colors and centered the text). I was also able to personalize the back of the card with a picture and writing, which turned out to be everyone's favorite part of the invitation. The quality of the paper and the printing, even the envelopes (and I chose the basic ones that come standard with the invite) was excellent. Thanks tinyprints, I'll be back again!"
"My invitation was simply perfect! I had to make a color change and Tiny Prints did exactly what I wanted! Customer service was very helpful and the entire process was easy and dress free!!! I will get all my invitations from Tiny Prints!!!"
"I didn't have to make many changes to this design as it was just what I wanted. The card stock was just right and the delivery was within a week to ten days. I will definitely be referring my friends to Tiny Prints!"

When I said a few 1/16ths....I meant the thickness of the poly filler shouldn't exceed no more than 1/4". Thinner is always better.
Anything above that thickness and you risk paint film cracking and/or feather edge lifting due to the fillers thermo expansion and contraction coefficient when compared to sheet metal.
If applied correctly it will last the life of the car. If the sail areas and wheel opening welds have been done correctly then there should be no flex stresses which can lead to paint film failures so bondo will work fine.
The 'Bondo' today is actually a very good product. The Bondo made by 3M is more than adequate when applied correctly.

barrel gardens
tetoncynthSeptember 30, 2009
We live in a high mountain valley in Wyoming. Does anyone know if it is possible to plant perennial asters or tulip and daffodil bulbs in whiskey barrels? Would they survive winter snow and ice and actually bloom next spring/summer? Does anyone know other perennials or flowering plants that can make it over the winter in a half barrel planter?

More iris photos- early bloomers on the AIS Blog
Hi everyone,
I posted some photos of early blooming irises on the AIS blog today. If you have any interest, the link is below.
Happy Spring!
Here is a link that might be useful: World of Irises
Renee, all I can say is W-O-W!!! Your Iris are amazing, and your garden is absolutely beautiful: I love the lines, the river rocks by your pond, the positioning of plants - just gorgeous!
I know purple Iris is dominant one, but purple and black are my absolute favorites. So, lets see which will dominate - purple or back (I have started adding Iris to my garden recently).
Thanks for the pictures - I feel like placing another order through Schreiner's :).
Your garden is spectacular!
I love everything.
OT: I see the Yuban coffee cans that you have the Irises planted in and that reminds me of home -in So. California. My Grannie drank Yuban. :)
Your garden is so neat and tidy. I like the combo of the Pinkish-Red and Blue-Violet irises myself. Stunning!
Wish I could plant my Agaves in the garden and see them grow to full size like yours. I have to keep mine in pots and take them in in the Fall here. But, I am glad to have them, just the same - a little bit of home to enjoy in my Oklahoma garden. :)
Everything is picture perfect.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful garden with us.
Everyone at work is talking about the lottery and saying what they would do if they won. They can't believe I would quit my job, pack up my family, buy a motorhome and go across country to visit all your gardens! There are so many place I'd love to visit and what an extra treat if there is a GW friend's garden along the way. A person can dream, can't they?!!
