Occupy Wall Street isn't just a threat to financial elites -- it's a challenge to lazy historians.
Among other intriguing and possibly problematic features, Occupy Wall Street, now in its third week and spreading, seems to represent an inchoate attempt at reviving an American radicalism that has deep roots in our founding period. The Tea Party has of course made its own highly explicit and politically successful claim on that period. Because OWS, like the Tea Party, focuses on national economic and financial issues, the new movement offers a disquieting, potentially illuminating alternative to the Tea Party's right-wing interpretation of America's founding economic values.
I began writing New Deal 2.0's "Founding Finance" series last winter in hopes of shining light both on the financial elitism of the famous American founders, who we often wrongly cast as pioneers (or at least half-conscious seed-sowers) of equality, and on what I see as historical tendentiousness on the part of the Tea Party, whose claims on the founding period are meant to support a low-tax, small-government, anti-debt agenda. I've tried to show that this agenda, which may or may not have its merits as policy, in no way accords with the avowed purposes of the founders across their own political spectrum from Hamilton to Madison.
In the series, I've also tried to bring to the fore some routinely marginalized yet highly resonant 18th century economic thought, as well as the actions of those who sought to obstruct wealth concentration and make cash and credit more readily available to ordinary Americans. It's an unsettling fact that our founding democratic, economic activism was not against England but against the homegrown American investing and creditor class that was leading the resistance to England.
I've explored that founding economic radicalism in the debtor riots and "regulations" of the late colonial period; in the overthrow of Pennsylvania during the run-up to the Declaration; in the period after victory over England, when foreclosed Massachusetts debtors, the so-called Shays Rebels, marched on the armory at Springfield; and in the early Federal period, when the so-called Whiskey Rebels of trans-Appalachia, criticizing the new U.S. Constitution on bases very different from those of antifederalist elites, went so far as to fly their own flag, hoping to launch a new, more economically egalitarian country in what was then the American West.
Throughout those struggles, the activists' goal was to pressure and in some cases to use government to restrain the power of wealth and promote economic equality through legislation. They wanted to outlaw monopolies, build debt relief into currency, institute easy-term, small-scale government lending, and take banking charters away from crony insiders. Some wanted progressive taxation on income; some wanted what we call Social Security. Much later phenomena like the Square Deal, the New Deal, and the Great Society, which can seem hypermodern (and even, to the Tea Party, unconstitutionally anomalous), actually have deep American roots. However, those roots are not in the thinking of the famous founders -- New Dealers' claims on Jefferson possibly to the contrary -- but in grassroots, 18th century movements that, while little-known today, were of immense importance during our founding.
So important in their day were those now-buried radical movements, in fact, that much of the famous founders' behavior can't be understood without the context of elite dedication at times to collaborating uneasily with the economic radicals, at other times to squelching them and pushing back their political advances. Many historians of the period ignore that context. Hamilton's biographers, for example, do not deem the people's movement important. Hamilton did; he spent his career trying to kill it. We therefore learn almost nothing important about Hamilton's purposes by reading his biographies. Much founder biography, and much mainstream history, operates on just such comfortably foregone, ultimately useless conclusions.

In place of founding radicalism, historians tend to emphasize the emergence, from the Revolutionary period through the Jackson era, of a rowdy, fluid, non-deferential, competitive America. They place developing ideas of American democracy almost solely in that 19th century context. But Thomas Paine, the best-known of the radical 18th century egalitarians, would surely have been crushed if he'd glimpsed the kind of society that passed for a democratic one in Jacksonian America.
Paine's intensity gives both liberals and radicals a problem. It was a widely held view in the Washington administration -- and it's been widely held in more or less liberal American history ever since -- that Paine's awful experiences in the French Revolution give us cause to celebrate the failure of Paine-ite radicalism in America. Fair enough: Today, as every day, it would be wise to recall not only crimes against humanity committed by bankers but also those committed on behalf of a supposedly collective, supposedly revolutionary "People," from the French Terror to the Stalinist mass murders and well beyond.
Still, the French Terror, which almost killed Paine, has served as a convenient pretext for exercising historical complacency about the suppression of his and others' fervently democratic visions for America in 1776. Without those visions, anathema as they were to the famous founding elitists -- anathema as they were, for that matter, to Jacksonian capitalism and are today to high-finance "neo-liberalism" -- we might never have declared independence at all.
So from a certain historical point of view, I think Occupy Wall Street rebukes, even more sharply than it rebukes rightist Tea Party claims on the founding, a familiar and complacent history of American democracy -- especially that history's failure to confront our long struggle over the relationship between high finance and government. Occupy Wall Street may be going about things all wrong, as some on what remains of the American left have asserted. I find those assertions hard to dispute. I've been critical of what I suspect may turn out to be a cultural premium, part and parcel of objections to elitism, on intellectual sloppiness and incoherence. That mode was never adopted by the activist 18th century working class, whose objections and demands (pace the lazy snobbism of Hamilton's biographers) took the form not only of action but also of crystal-clear, deeply informed, published resolutions. The 18th century activists remind us that resolutions don't have to be handed down from above; they can filter up and be adopted by majority or by consensus.
The very concept of "up" may be anathema to the new movement. We'll see.
But the most honest answer to any and all objections to Occupy Wall Street may be "So what?" Criticism often comes down to no-cost fantasizing about more appealing actions that nobody has actually bothered to take. When American high finance takes over America, "occupy" is what some American people do, and have always done.

|Double E-Wrap
Position the unthreaded carriage to the right end of the needle bed.
Pull the required number of needles to HP and open all latches.
Bond users should hang the hem with weights before continuing.
Place a clothes pin on the end of the yarn and use your left hand to dangle the yarn between the 1st and 2nd needles on the left; the clothes pin should be 6-8" below the needle bed and your left hand should be an inch or so above the needles.
Hold the clothes pin steady with your right hand as you carry the yarn in your left hand to the left above the 1st needle and behind the latch. You should now be able to release the clothes pin and steady the yarn with your left hand.
Carry the yarn back to the right under the 1st and 2nd needles. Don't worry too much if the yarn slips a little, but you must hold it firmly in your left hand to keep the clothes pin from dropping to the floor.
As you use your left hand to carry the yarn once again to the left over the 1st needle, use your right hand to pull back on the 1st needle, catching the yarn in your left hand in the open latch. The 1st needle should contain a large two-needle loop behind the latch and the working end of the yarn in the latch. Continue to pull back on the needle until the yarn in the latch knits through the loop and the needle is back in normal WP.
Carry the yarn to the right under the two left most needles.
Carry the yarn back to the left over the two left most needles, pulling back on the first needle, catching the yarn in the open latch and pulling back some more until the yarn in the latch knits through the loop behind the latch.
Repeat the instructions in this section across the rest of the needles.
Thread the carriage according to the procedures for your machine.
Non-Bond users should hang weights.
Slowly move the carriage from right to left to knit the first row.
If you find the first row is difficult to knit, you've probably wrapped the needles too tightly -- try pulling back further on each needle as you knit them back during the cast-on. Even Bond users should find it relatively easy to knit the first row with the carriage.
These instructions may feel awkward if you're left-handed. Try reversing everything and wrapping from right to left.
If you don't end up with nice consistent stitches on all the needles, make sure you're not accidentally catching some of your large two-needle loops in the latches. The loops are always behind the latch and the working end of the yarn is caught in the latch of the end needle just before you knit the needle back to WP.

We were just at Il de Saintes (Les Saintes). We rented a scooter and saw all the beaches and traveled every road. This adventure is not for everyone, but we loved it.

Just returned from cruise, spent a day in Les SaintesTags: None
Re: Just returned from cruise, spent a day in Les Saintes
This was part of a Silversea cruise. Here are some excerpts:
Ports & Sights
Old San Juan � we have been here more than once. I like to just walk around and look at the architecture, shop, see the restaurant offerings, etc. It was interesting to run into the street fair. You can also see the fort. If you have enough time, you can always check out more of Puerto Rico and visit the rain forest or spend time at one of the hotels or beaches. We chose this time to just enjoy the Sheraton so we could walk across the street to the ship terminal area.
Monserrat � This was not a port, but we got to spend a few hours seeing it in the day and at night, and some guests even did the helicopter over it (on a separate day). Only about 1/3 of this island is now inhabited. We saw a lot of ash. At night, Todd was fascinated to watch the tiny eruptions and splashes of red.
Sailing on Sea Day � we saw St. Kitts and most of the Virgin Islands one by one as we sailed along. This is the time that it is nice to have a balcony so that you see the postcard before you. Of course, the picture windows are nice, too.
Re: Just returned from cruise, spent a day in Les Saintes
Il de Saintes, Guadaloupe (Les Saintes) - Well, some of my fears about Les Saintes were true. We went to the breakfast buffet and had some hot items and fruits and then ventured on the tender over to Les Saintes. There was one scooter shop that ignored us when they heard the American accent and rented to all the Europeans behind us until they ran out. Next we went to another place, and the woman was cooking in her kitchen and told us she didn't speak English. Finally we found a place that rented us one scooter for 38 Euros for the day. You need your driver's license, and that is it. We shared one scooter. You cannot rent by the hour, only by the day or week. We were told to go to "the garage". This was no small feat since we didn't know and all along the way did not like Americans.
Well, we did get on our way and made our way up and down every travelable road on the island!! We had such a blast and saw every beach accessible. If you are adventurous, this is a DON'T MISS!!!!!!!!!! One of these had a number of topless women, and when we looked it up later, we read it can be a nudist beach. We also traveled up to the fort for great views of the ship.. The beaches were free, and some were pretty secluded. At any of them, you could easily bring a romantic picnic and not be bothered by anyone else. If you did not want to do all of this, you could set out on foot until getting tired and see the fort or the closest beaches. Be aware, some of the island siestas from noon to 2:30. Plan accordingly.
Barbados/Sandy Lane: We only saw the west side of the island because we planned to spend much of our day at Sandy Lane in Barbados. I wrote firstname.lastname@example.com and firstname.lastname@example.com after viewing their website.
We went out to the terminal in Barbados and asked for a cab to Sandy Lane hotel. We paid $20 US plus tip. The spa and hotel are on one side of the road, and the 45 holes of golf are on the other side and down the road.
I was brought curbside to the spa. For a hotel with 112 rooms, I was not expecting it to be so large. I'd seen pics of certain things but not the whole overall picture.
Todd played the country club course alone. He brought his own shoes and rented clubs. They have mandatory caddies, and he had a cart, etc. He shot a 78. The course is very scenic, and he saw monkeys. He finished in under 3 hours. During that time, I had a 90 minute facial and then toured the hotel.
I was impressed with the spa at Sandy Lane. I wish I had booked like a half day there. Normally, I like to spread my spa treatments throughout a trip, but I loved the facial so much that I would have loved to have more done here.
The dressing rooms are very nice and well appointed. The treatment rooms are even nicer. My room had two lounge chairs, and my view was a beautiful fountain. The treatment started out with choice of water or tea in my lounger in my treatment room. Then the facial started, and Judy adjusted a bed that molds itself in all directions to your body shape.
I had a rose anti-aging facial because it was 90 minutes and seemed different than anything I'd done. There were a number of phases, including some ice cold stones that were massaged on my face. The therapist was honest about any questions I asked, and she never tried to sell me a thing.
I toured the facilities, and they have a nice gym, fitness center, etc, and a great water area back there. I was very impressed with the hotel. It opened in 1961, but they tore it down in 2001 and rebuilt, preserving most of the look. Added were modern things, such as a panel that controls everything in your room, even the drapes. I toured a dolphin luxury suite. It had 42 in. plasma in the bedroom and living room, a stereo system, a fax machine, desk, etc. The bathroom had a large tub in the middle, but it was not a jet tub. There was a kitchenette where the mini-bar is customized, as are the snacks.
On the beach, beautiful loungers are set out for each guest daily, whether they show up or not. They have an assigned spot. The beach was nice, and a few waves came up. The beaches are public in Barbados, but it was pretty secluded.
There are a number of pools running around the property, and there are many places to find serenity. The hotel has some meal plans, but they don't have an all-inclusive plan. They are 5 diamond AAA for 2007, no easy feat, and their Conde Naste rating was 91.6 in the last book, though the dining got 77.
Re: Just returned from cruise, spent a day in Les Saintes
Bequia: Here, you could take the Mustique tour with the ship or some other St. Vincent tours, etc. We chose just to see Bequia. We took the tender over and hired a cab driver for an island tour. He said $25 per hour. We were gone an hour and gave him $32. We saw some scenic points and went to the turtle sanctuary. He did not try to sell us anything extra or anything. It was very nice, and we were able to spend a lot of time on the ship and still got to see some breathtaking sites.
Antigua: Here they offer nice sightseeing tours. Last trip, Todd had a great golf outing here. You can also get off the ship and go to King�s Casino right near the pier or look at the shops. We had day passes for Sandals. We took a cab - $13 going and $11 returning. We walked the beach, had ribs for lunch, sailed a hobie cat and laid in a garden pool on floaties and used the hot tub there. We also observed the Mediterannean Village that is set to open late this summer.
Virgin Gorda: If you haven�t been here, don�t miss seeing the Baths. We did that last time. This time, they stopped the ship to tender some guests for that and then went on to North Sound and anchored there. We had some more spectacular views. They started tenders at 11. Lunch was from 12 to 2. They had a bar and service in the chairs for everything from water to whatever. You could stay total;y under cover, also. They had burgers, dogs, grilled steak and swordfish, along with a variety of salads, fruit carved onsite and cookies and cakes. They had a vocal group singing Caribbean and adult contemporary tunes. Todd joined the volleyball game. There was swimming and snorkeling if you had your own gear.
Re: Just returned from cruise, spent a day in Les Saintes
You can email me at email@example.com if you want the rest of the pics or report. This was a great trip.
Re: Just returned from cruise, spent a day in Les Saintes
Sounds like a wonderful trip! I actually spent some time in Barbados and Bequia last year -- I'm impressed that you went to Sandy Lane. If I understood correctly it's the swankiest resort on the island. Sounds like it lives up to its reputation.
We ended up doing the Mustique trip when we visited Bequia. The island was beautiful, very exclusive and quiet, though it took a long time (two hours each way) to get there by boat. It may have been a better use of our time to just stay on Bequia...but eh, hindsight is always 20/20."I haven't been everywhere yet, but it's on my list." -- Susan Sontag
Re: Just returned from cruise, spent a day in Les Saintes
Debbie H,
I was just scuba diving behind that big rock in your first photo! Great dive spot! We loved Isle de Saintes but my husband ran into some unfriendly folks while relentlessly taking photos! Apparently they don't like to be photographed! Lovely island, tho!!

With Love From Vivid
Posted on February 12, 2008Did you know that singer Riz is an accomplished film maker? Or that the band were involved in the making of the adult film 'In Aphrodite'?. An adult movie company called Vivid personally asked Riz to make the movie for them. In a scene called 'Temple Of Gomarah' the band play amongst the film set and action taking place. Static regards his bass playing as the best he's ever done. Here's a few facts from Riz about the film...
1. It is stated for worldwide release in 2002
2. It features VIVID'S top girls
3. It is the first X-rated movie shot edited and directed (and scored ) by the leader of a rock band.
4. It was shot entirely at the ANYONE DEN (my house). . . except for the orgy scene.
5. It was the highest budgeted movie of the year for Vivid.
6. The band (NIPPLES AND STATIC) assisted at shoots. . . Lights, etc.

After Sandy Hook: How to Contemplate Politics Post-Tragedy
January 19, 2013
When I read the solution offered by Wayne LaPierre, the CEO of the National Rifle Association, to the ever-growing number of massacres at schools—that we need "good guys" with guns to protect us from "bad guys" with guns—I initially thought he was joking, a bad joke, yet joking nonetheless.
Architecture is More Than Just Buildings: In Remembrance of Ada Louise Huxtable
January 12, 2013
Architecture occupies a peculiar place in the life of democratic societies. Most buildings get built because some private concern, an individual or a corporate entity, commissions it. Because procuring land and constructing buildings is expensive, the private concerns that do so typically enjoy the benefits of wealth, which include social and political influence in excess of the democratic credo of one man, one vote. Yet architecture, or most of it anyway, is a public good: what any one person or institution builds, others must live with, and often for a very long time.

Martha Stewart: Original Hipster
December 06, 2012
For the past twenty-plus years, The Martha Stewart Empire (not its real name, of course, but who doesn't think of it that way?)—led by their taupe pant-suited leader—has dutifully monitored the cult of domesticity. The media has gleefully followed Martha's ups and downs. With recent news of major financial blunders, Martha Stewart may be down, but don't count her out.

You could guess as much from the outside, where a stone path winds through a succulent garden unlike that of any neighbor, lining up with steps, then a porch, then a twotone faรงade with subdivided windows dominated by simple, evocative linear patterns. Owners Dan Harden and Heidi Schwenk met in design school. The remodeled house includes a studio and is accented by works of art from a variety of styles, many made by family members. continued on next page home + garden design |WINTER 2013 5 H O M E + G A R D E N D E S I G N continued from previous page "Creativity and design are a lifestyle for us,â€? Harden says. Schwenk, who took up interior design earlier this year, specializes in creating "functional as well as inviting environments.â€? Finding the right contractor to complement that expertise was a challenge, but family friend Bernie Flather was just the ticket. "We didn't want to taint the friendship with a construction project, and I would say this is probably one of the best experiences I've ever had,â€? Flather says. "I'm better friends with them now than I was at the beginning of the project. There's a lot of teamwork in the house.â€? "It was a great blend of style,â€? Schwenk adds. Their backgrounds led to an exacting focus on detail — the remodel even included a shelf for orchids off the kitchen. Doors, windows, cabinetry, tile and electrical work were all modernized, yet kept to Birge Clark's original vision. "I designed that,â€? Schwenk says. "It was the perfect light.â€? The remodel entailed modernizing the whole interior of the house, including cabinetry, doors, windows, tile and electrical work. "Power wasn't good in the house — it was dated,â€? Flather says.

Clark, called "Palo Alto's best-loved architect" by the Palo Alto Weekly, designed more than 400 structures in Palo Alto, Harden says. This particular house was built late in his life. "We believe he wanted to get away from Spanish style and do something a little more modern and funkier," Harden says. The team worked hard to remain true to that vision. "It was really important to us to keep the character of the post-industrial period," Schwenk says. "We went back to what we felt the original intent of the house was. Everything fits and feels right," Flather adds. "I'm really proud of that house." Clark's son, Malcolm, turned up during a recent Palo Alto Woman's Club kitchen tour and gave his blessing to the changes, Flather says. The family hopes Clark would have felt the same way. "I find there is a providence in the fact that this architect had a vision of what modernism was," Harden says. "I get some delight thinking he would approve of it." The house centers around the courtyard alongside and behind the house, which includes a firepit, party table with integrated barbecue and central fountain that Harden calls the "axis of the house." Similarly, a line bisecting the stove marks the center of the kitchen. 8 WINTER 2013 | home + garden design "It makes you feel calm in the space because there's balance," Harden says. For the remodel, the family moved out to a rental nearby and were able to keep close tabs on the project. "We thought originally, 'Let's do the kitchen,'" Harden says. "Months later we had moving trucks here." Now that the work is over, the family is here to stay. "We have no reason to go anywhere," Harden says. "We've made it a home that is a joy to live in." h+g Resources: Architect: Catherine and Dan Farber, Fergus Garber Young Architects, Palo Alto, 650-473-0400, http:// fgy-arch.com/ Contractor: Bernie Flather, BG Flather Construction, Inc., Redwood City, 650-364-4300, www.bgfci.com/ Cabinetry: Exotic Woods, Oakland, 510-436-5702, www.exotichardwoods.com Landscaping: Special Gardens, Inc., Redwood City, 650-364-2499 Goal of project: Whole-house remodel, preserving original architect's intent while creating an ideal living space for the family Year house built: 1941 Size of lot, home: Added 160 sq ft to a 4,000-sq-ft home on 13,000-sq-ft lot Time to complete: 10 months Scan for discount offers and reviews Call for your FREE Design Consultation I can relax.

Back in 1949, when a small Eichler development arose in Barron Park, some were a tad quirky, with a side entrance, a crawl space rather than slab-on-grade and haphazardly aligned post-and-beam ceiling. Some of the windows had headers, with beams resting atop. continued on next page home + garden design | WINTER 2013 11 DESIGN MATTERS H O M E + G A R D E N D E S I G N Passionate About Design!

That was phase one. By the next year, they asked him to make their Eichler "more Eichler" — with a clean design, an indoor/outdoor sensibility, beams that start at the front and end at the back and a front door facing the street. The solution involved relocating the kitchen and creating a great room that opens to the outdoors, which includes a pool. Today the Eichler sports the more typical ceiling that extends to the outdoors, separated by a NanaWall that runs the width of the family room. A rolled screen not only keeps the small children indoors (and the bugs out) but shades the room in summer. The old kitchen was small and separate from the rest of the house. Toys and baby paraphernalia abounded in the living room, where adults were sitting too, Klopf says. "Everything was there and all on top of each other," he says. continued on page 15 I Flippin' Love This Place!

The owners wanted a clean, white kitchen, which they accomplished with custom-made cabinets, gray CaesarStone countertops and flooring in "Techno Gray" Daltile Vibe porcelain tile. The original house had typical 8- and 10-foot ceilings, but high clerestory windows make the small addition "feel much larger and more spacious," he adds. A versatile storage space was created in the laundry area, with a cabinet on casters for folding laundry sitting in front of a closet that houses the heart of the house's computer server. When they need to access the router or modem, they can slide the cabinet over and open the door. Another goal of the second phase was to relocate the front door and replace it with a less traditional one. Today one can open the front door — which is no longer located at the side of the house — and see straight through to the back. "As they went along and replaced and added to the house, they realized the old wood had been painted a number of times. It didn't look new," Klopf says, adding, "When they put new materials next to it, it really starts to look old." So they ended up re-siding and stuccoing the whole house, even replacing fascia boards on the roof overhangs. Instead of patching the roof, they replaced it completely, adding thicker insulation, he says. 'The whole house is upgraded. The only thing not touched is the brick chimney in front. They may go back in a third phase and do something with that," he adds. h+g Architecture, San Francisco, 415287-4225, www.klopfarchitecture. com Building contractor: Scott Flegel, Flegel's Construction, San Jose, 408-269-1101, www.flegelsconstruction.com/ Landscape designer: Jared Vermeil, Vermeil Design, San Francisco, email@example.com, www. vermeildesign.com Resources: Architect: John Klopf, AIA, Klopf Budget: More than $500,000 Goal of project: Add a master bathroom, redesign family room/kitchen, add new entry Unanticipated issues: Needed to design walls wider to accommodate screen for NanaWall Year house built: 1949 Size of home, lot: Original 1,274 sq ft plus 500-sq-ft garage Now 1,942 sq ft plus 476-sq-ft garage on 9,500-sq-ft lot Time to complete: 1st phase, 2010 — a few months 2nd phase, 2011 — six months Worry Free Home Maintenance & Repair s Seasonal maintenance visits s 260 annual tasks and inspections s Your "honey-do" list manager s 24/7 emergency service s Plus repairs, home improvements and project management s Earthquake preparedness (get a Free emergency backpack valued at $150 with your free, in-home evaluation of your home and your sincere review of our unique Stewardship program) "How the nicest home stay that way" ...worry free!

The new kitchen features angled walls, allowing visibility from the kitchen to the living-dining area and the outdoors. by Kathy Schrenk / photos by Dasja Dolan K aren Eichstadt-Coy's family of three often found themselves squeezed into one bathroom in their 1,100-squarefoot house. When their 10-year-old's friends played in their cul-de-sac they often stormed through the house to use that bathroom, since the half bath was harder to get to. They were also cooking in a kitchen that would have looked at home in the early '60s and was cut off from the rest of the house. With a limited budget, Eichstadt-Coy set out to improve the flow of the house through the kitchen, add a luxurious master bathroom and carve out a nook for her projects and paperwork — all while adding fewer than 300 square feet to the three-bedroom, one-and-a-half bath house. Everything in the kitchen, including the wiring, was wildly outdated, so it was a total continued on next page home + garden design | WINTER 2013 21 H O M E + G A R D E N D E S I G N The half bath was relocated and adorned with chalkboard paint that can be decorated daily. continued from previous page scrape. Karen kept costs low by buying floor models and remnants while splurging on one key component in each room. That splurge was the backsplash tile that covers the two main walls of the open kitchen, above the range and sink. The tiles are white and rectangular with a raised oval. The kitchen bargain she's most proud of is the marble slab that makes up the bar where the kitchen opens to the living and dining areas. Most everything in the kitchen was rearranged — windows, doors, walls and appliances. The flow of the kitchen is greatly improved from the living-dining area on through to the half bath, which also moved. Another goal of the remodel was to make the house very kid-friendly, and Eichstadt-Coy says they succeeded. They love their neighborhood and now she has a great "perch" from which she can see the kids playing on the street as she works in the kitchen. Before, stepping into the half bath from the kitchen meant stepping down and effectively entering the garage, which didn't make the bathroom feel very cozy. Now you walk through what Karen calls her "mom's pantry" (as opposed to a butler's pantry; it's where she keeps schedules and paperwork) to get to the half bath. That room continued on page 24 ED!

The master bath is where most of the square footage was added. The family had all been using the cramped hall bath. Now they have a wide shower stall (soaking can be done in the coming-soon hot tub, which will be right out the door from the master suite), his-andhers sinks and plenty of storage. The splurge in this room was the toilet. Yes, the toilet. The Toto Washlet was her husband Bill Coy's choice. It's similar to a bidet but with drying, deodorizing and white-noise options to muffle the sound of private bathroom functions. The toilet retails for about $750. Other choices in the master bathroom meant big cost savings: An old bookcase with distressed wood was disassembled and the lumber found new life as the vanity cabinet fronts. Karen found discontinued tile that she liked at a store in San Jose. She says she saved a lot of money by doing the legwork herself — visiting stone and tile warehouses around the Bay Area, comparing prices on similar materials and hunting for deals. They continue to save money since they installed new plumbing to include a hot water recirculating system and a high-efficiency water heater, which means instant hot water at the taps and big savings on water and electricity. "It feels luxurious to twist the hot tap and immediately experience hot water," Eichstadt-Coy says. The master bedroom got some attention, too: They pushed out one wall into the guest bedroom to make space for a walk-in closet. They installed a recessed nook for the wall-mounted flat-screen TV. When your house is less than 1,400 square feet, "every inch counts," Eichstadt-Coy says. h+g Resources: Architect: Henry Wood, Mountain View, 650-961-1926 Building contractor: Mick F.

"We had also accumulated a lot of wine on our travels, and I needed storage for my small business as well," Walker says. The house was built into the side of a hill and sat on a concrete slab. There was a small space under the house — damp, dark and bounded by rock— that Walker jerry-rigged for storage, but it was inadequate. Ultimately, they called Harrell back and created a 400-square-foot room that adjoins their downstairs family room. "We decided that we would dig out as much as possible," Walker says. "We always look at the current value of the home and never spend more than we think we could recoup. We've never regretted doing the most we could manage." The new room features an entire wall of melamine-faced closets customized to accommodate storage containers. It also houses two Danby wine coolers. "We would have gotten Sub-Zero refrigerators, but we were limited to this H O M E + G A R D E N D E S I G N "Since the house is located at the end of a cul-de-sac, the fire department was not happy with our blocking access with trucks," Nowicki says. "We set up a series of conveyor belts which ferried excavation as well as concrete from the site to trucks in the driveway, thus avoiding using the street." A Trex (recycled plastic) deck outside the room was expanded so that it can now house Walker's bike, the recycling bins and the like. "We also created a discrete secondary entrance by the side of the house," Nowicki says. This, combined with the fact that the room is connected to the central-heating system and has a nearby bathroom, creates a safety blanket for aging in place. "It was important to me that the room not look like a basement," Nowicki says. So she took pains to choose a vinyl flooring that looks like tile, as well as laminate counters that resemble slab granite, stainless-steel pulls that match those on the refrigerators, as well as designer colors for walls. The room also benefits from natural light provided by windows at either end of the space. h+g The new room is large enough to incorporate exercise equipment, top, and plenty of space for a workbench, below, as well as a utility room tucked behind a door. size because of the 7-foot ceilings," she says. "It would have been preferable to have shelves that can be adjusted because not all wine bottles are the same size." The T-shaped room provides a workbench area as well as space for exercise equipment. A utility room, with furnace, water heater, electrical panel and telephone and electronic system is tucked behind a door. "We had to relocate all the duct work, but also wanted the ceiling to be a reasonable height," designer Genie Nowicki says, adding that she is very proud of managing to conceal all the ducts and structural support beams in the ceiling soffits. As with any basement, one of the challenges was providing for proper drainage. "We used French drains (ditches covered with rock or gravel, which control water flow) to eliminate any water coming towards the house," she says. "We also used smart vents which activate fans when the moisture inside exceeds the outside levels. A vapor barrier provides added insurance. "If rats cannot gnaw through they burrow," she says. So they poured a layer of concrete around the perimeter of the basement.

Their story is told through their residential and public architecture, and how they integrate art and life, among other things. I just returned from Southeast Asia, mainly Cambodia, Thailand and Bali. I sought out the opportunity to visit with people in cities and remote areas. The initial draw was to see Angkor Wat and the surrounding ancient monuments dating from the sixth to the 15th centuries. The structures embody the idea of a heavenly city on earth, and were built by a series of Khmer kings during the golden age of the Empire of Angkor. There are many structures that have miraculously survived the ravages of weather, war and time. They detail the mythology and lives of ancient people that don't appear to have changed that much. The elephants that still roam in protected areas, provided the strength to build the heavy stone structures, but the artisans carved the stories. They detailed the creation myth, from early animism and their connection with nature to the Buddhist and Hindu influence. They also graphically illustrated the many past upheavals. Gun shells embedded in the stone are reminders of the civil war when the wats became military hideouts and targets in more recent times. The temples have gone through a transformation but remain a powerful symbol of survival and international reverence (UNESCO World Heritage Center). Surrounding the many wats are simple woven and thatched homes of Cambodian people. They weave detailed fabrics with silk or thin bamboo strips, among other crafts, and seem to help protect the tem- Design inspiration is taken from a carved, weathered wood panel in Ubud, Bali.

They live simply and carry on the old traditions. In Bangkok, Thailand's largest city, the major temples were built to honor kings and other royalty. They are filled with impressive Buddhas large and small, dating from many centuries. Of interest were paintings in one of the oldest temples illustrating pressure points. Like the Cambodians, the Thai people outside of large cities seem to exist in very simple structures, mostly made of natural materials. (How "green"!) It is evident that last year's massive flooding has taken a toll on even more substantial homes, that still bear the high mark of the water line. In marked contrast are the temples with gilded Buddhas, marble and decorative tiles. Wood elements are delicately carved. Walls are painted or inlayed with stone. Because the temples were built to honor a royal person or their rela- tive, many exist. Some are used for worship and others for teaching. The temples seem to be very much a focal point for the many people who live and work around them. In addition to the temples, a small miniature wooden temple on a raised dais presides at the entrance of most homes and work places to honor the protective spirit of the place. The textiles, which particularly interest me, are handwoven in a variation of set styles. They are often hung for decoration and also worn for celebrations. We visited northern Thailand in Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai, and from there to the border with Burma (the locals still refer to this name). I was able to get a guide to take us to visit the hill tribes. The Karin women with their long necks covered with brass rings make beautiful and colorful textiles. The Akha have perfected embroidery on handwoven textiles and colorful geometric combinations of woven fabric. The quality and detail of their work belies the basic living conditions on dirt roads, livestock surrounding their homes and lack of good sanitation. Bali has many similar outward generalities but it seems more in balance with nature and tolerant of different philosophies. For the majority of Balinese people, living with the planting and harvest of rice four times a year creates a cycle of hard work and celebration. Important visits to the temple occur at half and full moon. Other celebrations of life occur with the entire village bringing food and offerings during a constant chanting by the priest and incense burning. An island of mountains, lakes and terraced valleys, it is rich with volcanic stone for landscaping and building homes. The villages are open to the neighbors with a shared sense of community. The traditional home is a series of platforms with different purposes. While rice growing is the major pursuit, each village seems to have an artistic specialty. Kite-making, silver and H O M E + G A R D E N D E S I G N Risë Krag Thai textiles are handwoven, made of silk and cotton. gold jewelry, metalwork, carving of stone or wood, and weaving silk or cotton are other serious endeavors. I enjoyed exploring many of these areas and purchasing examples of their refined work. We were treated royally by Agung Rai, founder of the ARMA Foundation (www.armabal.com/ museum/arma-foundation), one of the most unique cultural centers in the world. It is nestled in Ubud, Bali, in the middle of rice fields, the heart of Bali culturally and aesthetically. He has acquired a large Balinese art collection and built a small classic stucture to showcase it. Around the property are stations for wood carving, gamelon making and classes for local children and guests staying in the adjoining lodging. Occasional performances of elite dancers and musicians are presented on openair stages. The gardens of ARMA are magical and carved statuary display daily offerings of flowers and incense. Places to eat or drink are nestled into the environment. A library and a specialty shop showcasing some of the best new and antique weavings are available. The spiritual element is most important to Agung. He took us on several sunrise drives to see the mother temple and the morning light on the rice fields, as well as a local village ceremony celebrating 25 years of their "temple" improvements.

While the history, weather and philosophies (religions) may separate us from our friends across the world there is much I feel we can learn from the way they live. Using nature as a motif , whether in stone, wood or lacquer, helps soften a home and the exterior. The garments they wear indicate a pride in their culture. For instance, the Balinese man wears his sarong with a folded point to the earth to remind him of his mother and earth. His hat points upward to connect to the sky and father. Women spend months weaving one sarong for wearing or home decoration. Most private and public spaces request the removal of shoes, so dirt is minimized from work and living spaces. People greet each other with folded hands and a smile. As an interior designer, I am inspired to incorporate many of these design elements into future projects. Simple carved flowers in stone or wood, bathrooms incorporating gardens, hand-wrought hardware, outdoor pavilions, loom-woven textiles used for wall dĂŠcor, bedding or pillows, paintings and shoe racks at entrances, are just some of the ideas I look forward to using! h+g RisĂŤ Krag, ASID, associate AIA, IESGG, is founder of RKI Interior Design, a full-service interior-design firm.

Business Advice
Face To Face Marketing
By Liam Bateman
There is nothing like interacting with potential customers through face to face marketing when trial is crucial to a sale. Face to face marketing can be used in a variety of ways to meet a variety of objectives, however its essence is interaction and without creating a sense of theatre, interest or incentive to respond it will not succeed.
The consumer has become very aware of face to face marketing initially through supermarkets and more recently through the targeting of commuters as they arrive at busy metropolitan stations....
... The classic taste test advertising for Stork Margarine from the 1970's was an introduction to this type of marketing interaction for many consumers. It was a novel experience for shoppers and an opportunity for them to get on TV. The trend for on the street interviews and marketing was fuelled by programmes like That's Life, creating a sense of consumer involvement and allowing the man on the street to have their say.
The expansion of this type of activity over the past 30 years has led to consumers being more conscious of the techniques used to reach them face to face, however that has not reduced their interest and willingness to participate. The one negative area of face to face has been the introduction of 'Chuggers' on our streets, the name given to charity fundraisers who approach you with a clipboard. This has made many consumers wary of interaction, especially in the street.
However, generally, the consumer is still willing to participate and face to face marketing can be very rewarding if well targeted, positioned and offers the consumer a reason to interact and respond.
The benefits of face to face activity are that it is relatively... continued on page two >

London attractions: Wyndham Lewis at the Courtauld Gallery
Published: Sunday 27th of November 2011
Art lovers looking for things to do in London could pay a visit to the Courtauld Gallery to see the Wyndham Lewis exhibition.
Running until January 15th, the exhibition amounts to one of the most important collections of works by the British avant-garde artist and writer Wyndham Lewis.
The display celebrates the recent acquisition of Lewis' radical early self-portrait drawing from 1911, in which the artist asserted himself as a hard-edged and modern artist.
It explores the era where he founded the avant-garde 'Vorticists', who aimed to radicalise British art.
Later works seen in the exhibition illustrate Lewis' efforts to challenge and reinvent the landscape of painting and drawing, with his work becoming increasingly imaginative and sometimes fantastical.
However, according to the museum, one of Lewis' most important contributions to 20th century British art was through portraits.
The mysterious painting of his wife - known as Red Portrait - powerfully demonstrates this.

On Friday night, the Canyon Eagles took advantage of a sluggish start and 32 turnovers by the Borger Bulldogs to leave Tex Hanna Gym with a 64-43 win.
The Bulldogs only connected on 5 of 17 shots in the first half, while the Eagles nailed four three pointers and 11 of 15 free throws to build a 21 point lead by halftime.
The Bulldogs started the game playing solid defense which kept the Eagles off the scoreboard for the first four minutes.
Borger senior Daniel Salinas opened the first period scoring four points, while junior Kolter Newton put in a lay up to put the Bulldogs on the scoreboard early.
However, the Eagles finished the first period on a 9-2 run to build an 8-18 lead.
In the start of the second period, a pass from junior Jamon Hearon to Tyrell Haynes cut the Eagles lead to eight points. But, the Bulldogs finished the first half without putting in another shot from the floor.
The Bulldogs were able to put in five free throws in the second period. However, the Eagles took advantage of the Bulldogs' shooting woes and a 12-0 run to build a 15-36 lead by halftime.
The Bulldogs' shooting woes followed them into the third period, with the team not hitting a shot from the floor until the 2:44 mark.
The Bulldogs finally found some offense in the fourth period scoring 19 points. However, the late push would not be enough, leading the Bulldogs to open the 2011-12 season with a loss.
The Bulldogs will next take the floor on Monday evening when they travel to Canyon to take on Dimmitt ant the West Texas A&M Event Center beginning at 8:00 p.m. The Eagles improve to 1-1 on the season.

Press Briefing
Under Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs Tara D. Sonenshine
Assistant Secretary for Democracy, Human Rights and Labor Michael Posner

In the run-up to World Press Freedom Day (WPFD), May 3, the "Free The Press" campaign will focus on the many ways in which journalists are under duress around the world, including imprisonment, laws that restrict media freedom and freedom of expression on the internet, journalists killed or disappeared on the job, intimidation, threats and fines.

The Simi Valley Education Foundation is the easiest and most effective way to get your dollars directly into the classrooms of Simi Valley public schools. These are the schools that the community is counting on to teach our children the skills and knowledge that are necessary for them to be successful adults and future business and community leaders.
Every little bit helps! No donation is too small. We have opportunities for you to:
· Become a Sponsor ($1500 - $5000)
· Sponsor a contest, hole or awards ($300 - $500)
· Register to play as a single golfer or foursome ($175 - $700)
· Buy a Tee Sign ($150)
· Join us for a great dinner ($50)
· Donate an item for our Goodie Bags or Raffle
There are so many great ways you can participate!
Even if you are not a golfer, a Tee Sign for $150 goes a long way in helping us meet our fundraising goals. Invite your family, friends and/or business associates to participate in this years Tee Up for Kidz Golf Tournament, because Education is Everyones Business.
