martha stewart, the fish
my new tankmates (2 yoyo loaches) are constantly remodeling my 30 gallon tank! they have moved plants (phew, only the fake ones), and one small rock- and they dug tunnels under some of the decor, in order to borrow underneath it. i don't mind them playing martha stewart at all, its actually kind of fun to see what they will move next...my question is....how normal is this?
oh its very normal. Its most often seen in cichlids but many fish will display this behavior too. The yoyo in particular is constantly rummaging through gravel in search of food so make sure they are getting plent of food via singing pellets or wafers. As far as hiding spots, they prefer tight areas to hide in, not wide open caves. So it is also normal for them to dig and create this hiding spot. I remember I had cichlids that would go nonstop all day creating their own little homes. Even if I made caves for them they would knock one of my rocks over and dig a cave underneath it. I love your title "martha stewart the fish"...very fitting! :-)

Stocking suggestions for 50gal
So as my tank is still in the process of cycling I been thinking of ideas to stock my 50gallon tank. The main fish that I want is tiger barbs and I plan on putting them in last. First fish I'm going to buy is zebra danios. Plan on stocking 12 going to add them in 6 at a time is that ok? Plan on getting 8 tiger barbs buying in group of 4. The only places I've looked at fish is petsmart and petco if anyone can suggest a spot near bay ridge Brooklyn New York I'd appreciate it. Also any other fish you guys suggest I'd appreciate it.

Got a Penguin power filter 350 with bio wheels for 70 gallon tank. About 6 live plants getting floating plants real soon.
Posted via Mobile Device
I would suggest buying the entire group of a species together. So with your Tiger Barb, if 8 is the eventual number, buy all 8 at the same time and add them together. [And as you have the space, in this case i would increase the group to 10 or 11.]
One reason for this is that fish always are less stressed in larger groups. So this means less chance of disease. But the fish species which have a pecking order within the group, as TB do, should not be left in small groups as a bully may easily emerge. The larger the group, the more "natural" their pecking order, and the less likely that any fish will be singled out. There is also the fact that the initial group of say 4 will establish their social structure, then when 4 more are added, trouble occurs. This is true with almost any shoaling species, but those that tend to be more aggressive in the first place will frequently become real terrors due to the small group. The natural behaviours can be intensified, in other words.

Sponsor Contribution from InfinityAds with regards to Betinternet :
Eagan, MN (PRWEB) May 12, 2014
Midwest ENERGY Associations (MEA) is proud to announce that Donald Bonwell, supervisor of operations training support, from Omaha Public Power District has received a Life Sustaining Award. Each year MEA sponsors the Life Sustaining Awards program to recognize industry employees who have performed service "above and beyond" the call of duty by saving or attempting to save the life of another. Applicants for these awards are approved by the Executive Committee of MEAs Board of Directors.
Bonwell receives the award for pulling a man from a burning vehicle. While driving to work early one morning he came upon a wrecked pickup truck. The vehicle was burning and the driver was still inside. Several individuals, including a coworker, Joe Braun, were attempting to pull open the passenger door to free the driver while also fighting the fire with fire extinguishers.
Don noticed the flames beginning to enter the cab of the truck and that the driver was reacting to the heat. Reassuring the driver, whose injuries appeared serious, Don quickly reached inside the truck and with the help of another individual, pulled the driver from the burning vehicle. Shortly after, the local rescue vehicles arrived. Having served in the Gulf War, Don commented In the Gulf you are prepared for situations like thisHere it was totally reactive, where the adrenaline just takes over and allows you to deal with the situation

Runaway Stage offers 2-for-1 deal
Runaway Stage Productions in Sacramento is offering two-for-one pricing for its upcoming production of "Urinetown: The Musical" for anyone holding a ticket to any of Civic Theatre West's 2010-11 Main Stage productions (single tickets and season tickets included).
Civic Theatre West in Roseville closed down in November, citing debt.
"Urinetown" is a hilarious tale of greed, corruption, love and revolution in a time when water is worth its weight in gold. In a Gotham-like city, a terrible water shortage caused by a 20-year drought, has led to a government-enforced ban on private toilets.
The citizens must use public amenities, regulated by a single malevolent company that profits by charging admission for toilet access. One man decides he's had enough and plans a revolution to lead the citizens to freedom.
"Urinetown" is considered an irreverently humorous satire in which no one is safe from scrutiny. Show times are 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, and 2 p.m. Sundays through March 27.
The show is performed at the 24th Street Theater at the Sierra 2 Center, 2791 24th St. in Sacramento. For more information about Runaway Stage Productions, visit http://www.runawaystage.com/.

Employees who are engaged in their work are happier and more productive than those who are simply showing up and putting their time in. A work-inspired environment that values employees and highlights individual strengths has a higher rate of success across the board, financially and professionally.

Canadian La nd S urface S cheme
The Canadian Land Surface Scheme (CLASS) is a SVAT being developed in a research project led by D. Verseghy at the Canadian Atmospheric Environment Service. The work is funded through the Canadian Climate Research Network, part of the Climate Institute at the University of Victoria. The eventual goal is to link CLASS to the Canadian General Climate Model (GCM). The Queen's group is one of several university-based groups that comprise the collaborative research team, and we are tasked to examine CLASS's performance over forested surfaces. Our data archive from Chalk River and BOREAS formed the basis of the initial three years of development work, completed in 1997. Our participation in the BERMS project is part of the CLASS Follow-on project (97-99).
Paul Bartlett, a Ph.D. . student at Queen's is working on the CLASS project for his doctoral thesis. The results of the initial testing of the model for mid-latitude mixed forest (PNFI), an aspen-birch stand (AECL), and a boreal young jack pine (BOREAS) have been submitted to Atmosphere-Ocean, and the reference appears below with an attached abstract.
The BERMS work will further the development of CLASS and especially the stomatal conductance routines. At present in CLASS, the behaviour of stomatal conductance is modelled with a Jarvis-Stewart type series of equations, and we are exploring the use of a Ball-Berry type model for possible inclusion in the model in the future.

I found out the day my period was due. I took a test and came out positive. I had been trying for so long to get pregnant that when it finally happened, I already new. I just felt different. The symptoms didn't actually start until I was about 6 weeks. My first symptom was food aversion. Everything I liked before my pregnancy, I couldn't even be around anymore.posted 10/20/2010 by imShadz
I started having morning sickness almost immediately after I conceived. I began having morning sickness and later, very sore breasts. I thought I was further along until I had my first ultrasound and found out that the week I took a positive pregnancy test, I was actually only one week pregnant. I miscarried at six weeks and now I'm almost positive that I'm pregnant again. I'm having morning sickness and mild cramping just like the first time. Wish me luck!posted 11/28/2011 by Plus_Size_Mama
I also had early symptoms, tired, just felt "off", my bbs were slightly swollen. I did get the feelings beofer I could even test. BUT...let me just say, I have been convinced that I was preggo recently and AF came...so AF & BFP symptoms pretty much mimic each other...darn it!!!! :/posted 10/25/2010 by KAgg2009
I just "felt" different as well. I knew almost 2wk before I missed my period that I was pregnant even though the test said neg still. My husband thought I was nuts. But, my main reason, other than seriously just feeling pregnant, was I have a birth mark on my arm that ONLY shows up when I'm pregnant AND MAN WAS IT BRIGHT! Sure enough, I miss my period and tested the next day and it was positive. I had the same feeling with my first pregnancy as well... I don't know how to describe it. There is no doubt though. I just KNEW I was pregnant.posted 10/20/2010 by Emkaed

According to the founders of Money Camp, it is designed to show you:
The teachers' manual begins by reminding us that we, as parents, are to be examples to our children by our competent money management. We can help our children learn about finances in a real way by sharing, informing, and including them in financial discussions and decisions whenever possible or appropriate.
The playbook is divided into seven areas: a statement of principle; the what, why, how of the activity; comments/extra activities; a vocabulary list; and the activity. Each "play" encourages students to understand the principle but more importantly to apply what they are learning. Moreover, these activities are more than just worksheets; they often require research and thought.
The playbook has quotes, history, and fun facts about money. There is also a list of books, games, and websites. The glossary records the language of money and pulls it all together so the definitions will be consistent with ours.
This program will cause a family and their student to learn some very important lessons about money. The economic lessons are pertinent and significant to financial freedom. God requires us to be steward of His money so understanding how to use it properly is imperative. He has entrusted us with our children thus we must teach them well.

You Are How You Camped
What your enjoyment of sleep-away camp, or lack of same, says about your character.
Summer camp is a rite of passage for many American children, whether they enjoy the experience or hate it. Four years ago, Timothy Noah dissected camp culture and found that adults will never escape the patterns they exhibited as camp-bound children, no matter how many years removed. The article is reprinted below.
If there's a more reliable Rorschach than sleep-away camp, I'd like to see it. How you responded to being shipped off (often at an appallingly tender age) to a cluster of cedar cabins beside a mountain lake; to being taught Native American crafts, chants, and songs of dubious authenticity; and to being subjected to various painful hazing rituals—many of them involving underwear—reveals an awful lot about your fundamental character. If, as the Duke of Wellington claimed, the Battle of Waterloo was won on the playing fields of Eton, then the psychotherapy bills of our own great nation were run up on the tetherball courts of Camp Weecheewachee (or whatever the hell your summer camp was called).
Let's begin with the people who didn't like camp. I was one such person. The first camp I got sent to was Camp Lenox, an establishment in the Berkshires that is still in business. During my summer there, in 1966, it was run by and for males who thrived on athletic competition. I did not. My older brother was an enthusiastic jock, and it was his love for the place that landed me there. I don't remember seeing much of him after we got off the bus—he was seven years my senior—but he'd occasionally appear in the distance, wearing the black beret that marked him as my enemy in Color War. I was assigned to the orange team; our symbol was a baton. To this day I shake my head in disbelief that a responsible camp director would set brother against brother in the name of competitive sport. Perhaps you find my thinking on this point a little rigid. Well, I'm sorry, but I'm not the sort of person who can alter his loyalties so easily, even within such a character-building realm. (I would have made a terrible Kennedy.)
Observing my perplexity with mild concern, my parents shipped me off to a different camp the following summer. This was Camp Arcady, in the Adirondacks. Now defunct, it was co-ed and less single-mindedly dedicated to sports than Camp Lenox had been. Arcady had other advantages over its predecessor, the most memorable being a waterfront counselor named Doreen who had once been a Mouseketeer on The Mickey Mouse Club. Visions of Doreen (who in the decade since her TV stardom had filled out quite satisfactorily) haunted my prepubescent dreams. Even now, in my mind's eye, I see Doreen emerging, like Botticelli's Venus, from a clamshell perched on the shores of Lake George, a whistle nestled chastely in her cleavage. It was probably because of Doreen that I learned to water-ski. Water-skiing is the only camp sport I remember enjoying. Otherwise, I was pretty miserable. For the evidence, click here (center row, fifth from the left).
People (like myself) who didn't enjoy camp tend to have a problem engaging in organized activities of all kinds. Later in life we often become criminals or sociopaths. The more respectable among us often become journalists. If we're extremely bright or creative (or aspire to be), we may become writers or scholars or artists. The common thread is an outsider mentality. A self-flattering analysis, I know, but such is my privilege as author of this article.
Some people hated camp so much that they made their parents bring them home. These people should not be confused with the outlaws described above. There is nothing outré about not being able to endure summer camp. The come-and-get-me set grow up to be neurotic and needy. These are people who can often be heard on C-SPAN's early-morning call-in program Washington Journal, filibustering from a time zone still blanketed in predawn darkness, until the host says, "Please state your question."
Some people enjoy camp. These people grow up to be normal. My own two children, I'm pleased to report, belong to this category, assuming the blasé letters I'm receiving ("Pringles would taste pretty good right about now") reflect sincere contentment.
Some people really, reallyenjoy camp. I wish I could tell you that these people grow up to be really, really normal, but they don't. You know who I'm talking about. These are the ones who wept uncontrollably when the papiermâché numbers spelling out 1967 were set ablaze on a little raft that a camp counselor, under cover of darkness, towed stealthily to the middle of Lake Weecheewachee on the evening of the last group sing. These are the people for whom childhood represented the zenith of human existence and everything that followed an anticlimax. The women—they're mostly women—usually end up in abusive relationships with pathologically angry men who eventually abandon them and pay child support erratically, if at all. If the person who really, really enjoyed camp is a man, then he is unlikely ever to develop an intimate relationship and on occasion may be spotted in the back of a police cruiser speeding away from a grade-school playground.

About the Program
The ILR Credit Internship Program has been in operation for nearly forty years, and is widely recognized in the United States as the most successful of its type. The program was created by the faculty of the ILR School to afford our advanced undergraduates, juniors and seniors, opportunities to enhance their understanding of the field of industrial and labor relations by working for a semester (approximately 14 weeks), in one of the professional careers it encompasses.
Each semester we routinely place dozens of eligible students with corporations, trade unions, labor and employment law firms, appropriate legislative bodies and other public agencies at every level of government, think tanks, public policy institutes and a wide array of advocacy organizations associated in one way or another with issues of work and workplace relations. For most of its history, our program operated almost exclusively within the United States. In the last decade, however, we have sought to expand its scope, and we now routinely place students at various locations internationally.
Students are approved to take part in the program only after meeting academic and other standards imposed by faculty legislation. They are eligible to apply only after completing the first two years of our four-year undergraduate curriculum, a requirement that assures every intern has taken most, if not all, of the courses that comprise the core of our instructional program.
We are also very careful in judging the suitability of the placements we arrange for our interns. We require that every sponsoring organization be involved with activities directly related to the field of industrial and labor relations, and that the work they propose to have an intern undertake is consistent with the character of work performed by members of their professional staff. Because our program is an adjunct of our instructional mission, it is essential that students who work as interns are discharging duties that enrich their understanding and thus enhance their education.
The ILR Credit Internship Program is a unique opportunity for undergraduate students. As a professional program, the ILR Credit Internship provides students the chance to work in an organization focused on the field of work and workplace relations. All of our internships are of professional quality and are closely monitored by our program, ensuring students not only professional but academically enriching experiences.

Batik table runner
I pieced this little batik table runner yesterday and quilted it up this morning and got it delivered this afternoon! It is a sample for a local fabric store. The pattern is called Starburst by D. Hall Designs, a very simple fast runner to make. I really had fun with the quilting on it as you can see :-) trying to put a little modern spin on it. I used Glide on top, So Fine in the bobbin and Airtex 80/20 batting.

There's a Better Way: Installing Crown Moldingcomments (4) May 26th, 2009 in Blogs
We recently developed our first Video Workshop on Installing Built-Up Crown Molding with finish carpenter and frequent Fine Homebuilding contributor Tucker Windover. We thought while we were at it we'd share three of our most clever crown installation tips.
The video directly below features a better way to install crown molding solo (for those times when you don't happen to have a FHB editor on site). And, scroll down below the video to find two classic tips we think you'll find useful: "Easier coping with the jigsaw" and "Fitting crown molding." Each of these tips should help make your crown installation project go more smoothly.
How can a golf ball help you cope crown molding?
Jim Delvin of Des Moines, WA writes:
Coping crown molding with an electric jigsaw is much easier when you attach a radiused auxiliary base to the jigsaw's standard flat base. But I was stumped about making this modification until I spotted a golf ball on my shop bench.
As shown in the drawings, I started by cutting the ball into unequal parts. I did the cutting on my bandsaw after driving a couple of 3-in. drywall screws into opposite sides of the ball to act as handles. The screws kept my fingers a safe distance from the blade. Then I made a perpendicular cut in the larger portion. Still at the bandsaw, I cut a slot to accommodate my jigsaw's blade.
Next, I drilled a couple of 1/8-in. holes in the saw's base, on opposite sides of the blade, for a pair of screws. I positioned the slotted golf ball as shown in the drawing and affixed it to the base with a couple of small screws.
This jig provides a pivot point right where the blade enters the back side of the molding. As a result, I have the control to make exact relief cuts. I have found that longer blades are useful for cutting big crowns. Different configurations could be obtained by cutting the ball into segments of various sizes.
Get a hook on crown
Bob Brereton of St. Paul, MN writes:
When running crown molding, I often have to pull a piece down to do a little fussing with the cope cuts or to tweak a piece up or down. Even if the molding is nailed loosely, this can be hard to do when it's a tight fit. As shown in the drawing, I've taken to removing a bit of the upper square-cut corner of a piece of crown so that I can hook my finger behind it to move it. On the first piece of crown, I always square-cut both ends and then remove the corners. The lopped-off corners end up behind the coped piece that abuts it. Subsequent pieces have one coped end, and one square-cut end.
For more on crown molding check out the Crown Molding Video Workshop with Tucker Windover.

As far as getting rid of the jigsaw I don't agree with that. I've coped both ways and using the collins coping foot with the proper blade ( Bosch 244 I believe ) is faster than using a coping saw. You still need to have files on hand for fine adjusments though.
Posted: 10:00 am on October 7th
Get rid of the golf ball and the jig saw. Get the right coping saw blades change them often and improve you coping skills. Get a set of files, curved and flat, cut close to the cope line and file or sand away the excess. Take your time this isn't supposed to be the fastest part of the job but it can go quick if you get good at it. Good luck
Posted: 8:40 am on September 27th
I don't think I have ever seen this strategy used to install crown molding. I've always used the traditional methods for molding, but this would be worth a shot. Definitely looks like a noteworthy alternative to crown molding installation.
Thanks for the tip!

NZP YoungHeart Manawatu has announced they are teaming up with UCOL in an exciting initiative for both organisations.
The initiative provides 'state of the art' physical conditioning and injury prevention and recovery packages for NZP YoungHeart Manawatu squad members while UCOL students are given the opportunity to apply their knowledge and skills in a real world elite sporting environment.
The UCOL Exercise and Sports Science team is in charge of the physical conditioning programme for NZP YoungHeart Manawatu. Led by Lecturer Frans van de Merwe (ex- Shark front rower) and Lecturer Adriaan van Eck (trained Olympic blade runner Oscar Pistorius), UCOL will provide two gym based training sessions a week plus field based training, on-going fitness testing and load monitoring.
Twenty-three year old third year Bachelor of Exercise & Sport Science student Christopher Creek will be extensively involved in the programme. Chris has a passion for strength and conditioning and plans to pursue a career in the field working with top athletes. Following graduation Chris intends to continue his studies in association with UCOL, undertaking a Master's degree.
TBI Health, a partner with UCOL in the new U-Kinetics centre, will be responsible for all injury and physiotherapy issues. Head physiotherapist Phil Osborn will work alongside students in the Postgraduate Diploma in Clinical Exercise Physiology, providing injury screening services, pre-habilitation, match day physio coverage and of course full rehabilitation services.
Adriaan van Eck says this is a fantastic opportunity for third year students to gain invaluable experience in their chosen field of expertise. "They are backed up by well qualified and experienced staff from around the world, and will be utilising the brand new specialist facilities at UCOL's new U-Kinetics centre.
"Over the next few years we plan to continually develop our relationship with NZP YoungHeart Manawatu to increase the breadth of opportunities to other students and disciplines within UCOL," he says.
NZP YoungHeart Manawatu Chairman Neil Perry expressed his amazement at the quality of conditioning and injury treatment & prevention offered by UCOL. "I understand that the physical conditioning programme will be comparable to those of super rugby franchises; and the injury screening and treatment programme will be better than those in the EPL and American NBA!"
"That level of quality really adds to the franchise and our drive to provide the best possible pathway for our local players to reach the highest levels within the game. It's also exciting that this initiative offers the opportunity for local students such as Chris to reach their personal goals.
"Our relationship with UCOL meets the needs, goals and aspirations of both organisations, therefore the relationship is the win- win situation we are looking for. It can only grow and develop, providing increased opportunity for local footballers and students alike. "

Boulder, CO: America's First Smart Grid Town
Posted By Cate Trotter On April 2, 2008 @ 4:23 pm In Design,Environment,Renewable Energy,Urban design,Zero energy | 3 Comments
The Smart Grid [2] and all of its energy-saving intelligence is coming to Boulder, Colorado, making this picturesque town at the foot of the Rockies poised to become the nation's first fully integrated Smart Grid City within the next few years! Chosen by Xcel Energy [3] for its location, ideal size and current infrastructure, Boulder was also chosen because of in-place smart grid initiatives through University of Colorado and several other nearby institutions. Xcel Energy and its Smart Grid Consortium will start research over the next few weeks and the first phase of Smart Grid City could be in place as early as August 2008!
Monitoring and communication across the grid is done remotely in real-time, optimizing the entire system by making it more responsive and informative. Feedback to users and appliances is also much better, improving understanding to reduce energy use. Dynamic pricing reduces pressure at peak times. Fault detection will improve. Supply will be better matched to demand. And power and broadband could even be supplied over the same lines. New devices are being developed to make the most of the technology, such as a new washing machine by Whirlpool which powers down certain functions when it discovers that the grid is under pressure.
Widespread adoption of smart grid technology is likely to be years down the line, but it's great to see we're making headway!

You are talking about a MIDDLE name and not first name. Is it really that big a deal? How many people go through life using their middle name? Honestly with the exception of birth announcements and wedding invitations, I don't think middle names are common use. Are you really not able to concede on something that really won't have much impact on your son but would honor his father and grandfather?posted 09/19/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
Honestly you're being pretty selfish. How would you feel if the situation was reversed and you were in your husband's shoes? Douglas is a nice, classic name, it's not like he wants to name your child something totally out there and off the wall.posted 10/01/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
Have you talked to your husband about hating the name? That's the first step, I'm currently 27 weeks and my husband chose our sons name, i hated it at first, and now it has grown on me and I LOVE it... it could take time, but if you really HATE it then you need to tell your husband communication is the keyposted 09/19/2012 by Lovebug_3

Global Warming: Science Fact or Fiction?
Recorded: Tuesday, February 15, 2000
Is global warming real, imminent, and a threat to human life? Have such predictions been established scientifically? The proposed Global Climate Treaty calls for extensive government controls to reduce fossil fuel use. Yet, there is no scientific consensus to support global-warming pessimism. Would the proposed massive 'carbon' taxes and other controls put our society- especially those most disadvantaged- at great risk? Based on his widely acclaimed book, renowned astrophysicist Fred Singer will separate fact from fiction in this raging global warming debate.

"I thought how unpleasant it is to be locked out; and I thought how it is worse, perhaps, to be locked in."
— Virginia Woolf
I really enjoyed working from home the last 4-5 years. I always had a separate room for my office, which meant we always had at least a two bedroom apartment or home and part of my income went to affording us a larger living space. The first couple of years I went through the honeymoon phase of working for myself by sleeping in as late as I wanted and working as late as I wanted, often times not even take a shower or get dressed before "going to work". I'd roll out of bed- sometimes off the couch from a late night of work the night before- and just sit down at my desk and start working, sometimes not even getting up to eat until well into the afternoon. I thought it was cozy and indulgent, but I found that I was never really ready to just run out for an errand or join a friend for lunch- and heaven forbid if I had to sign for a package- that was often an awkward moment at the door with just a robe on! Realizing that perhaps that wasn't the best way to work from home, in the third year I made a point to only get on the computer after I had showered and dressed. Granted, there are still a few occasions when that doesn't always happen, but I've noticed that I feel much better and more productive when I've taken care of myself first. (Which reminds me to start making some tea before writing any further.)
"One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well. "
— Virginia Woolf (A Room of One's Own)
One of the drawbacks to working from home is isolation, (or if you have children at home, it's distractions). With the internet becoming increasingly more productive for working remotely, there's rarely a need to get out and enjoy the world or interact with other people. For some people this is great, for me, it became increasingly depressing. I found that the less I interact with others, the less tolerant I become. It's so easy to get locked in your own little world of what's right and wrong, up and down, without anyone else to check you on your judgement. So, to challenge myself and broaden my horizons, I decided to take on interns. Ironically, having interns come in twice a week actually made ME more productive and forced me to keep my home and office in "visitor ready" condition almost all the time, which created much more peace and sanity in my daily life. It was quite awesome, and I recommend it to anyone who is open to the idea. Everything seemed idyllic after discovering what was previously missing in my environment and I thought I'd always be able to work from home.
"Arrange whatever pieces come your way."
— Virginia Woolf
This summer my husband was granted the opportunity to become Faculty-in-Residence in the UMass Lowell Honors House (based on the Harvard model of living-learning communities) and it sounded like a pretty sweet deal: no rent, no utilities, a dedicated parking spot, even a few meals included! Of course, you often can't get something for free without making a compromise or two. I would have to give up my home office because there was no space in the residence for anything other than a bedroom, living room, and kitchen. I can't say that I was thrilled about this idea, in fact, I was close to depressed at the idea of giving up my big beautiful live/work space and trading it in for a dorm apartment.
"You cannot find peace by avoiding life."
— Virginia Woolf
Ever since we moved to Lowell, I had an affection for the Western Ave Studios and the lovely artists who indulge their creative spirits there. We actually met quite a few wonderful people through W.A.S., simply because they participated in the regular Open Studios event on the first Saturday of each month. So, naturally, when it was time for me to find a new home for my work, WAS was at the top of my list. (Click play on the video below for a stop motion tour of WAS, created by fellow WAS photographer Adrien Bisson.)
Luckily for me, new spaces were available where there had only been a waiting list before, allowing me to sign a lease and move in right away. At first, it just didn't seem cost effective or energy efficient to have a separate space away from home for my office, but when we had my office in my home- I was actually paying double per square foot over having it in the Western Ave space and probably using more energy because I wasn't sharing utilities with anyone else. Wedding season hasn't afforded me much time to work on making my studio visitor-ready yet, but I hope to have it ready by my birthday in April, so we can celebrate with a grand opening. I was able to do just enough painting inside and out and put a few prints up on the wall just in time for the annual Lowell Open Studios (which I didn't participate in because I was photographing a wedding) and was happy when I returned to find all of my business cards (aka Anne Ruth"mints") gone from my studio wall.
"I can only note that the past is beautiful because one never realises an emotion at the time. It expands later, and thus we don't have complete emotions about the present, only about the past. "
— Virginia Woolf
It's so inspiring to walk past the studios of other artists on my way to work and be reminded of keeping passion and art in my work. I look forward to evolving my business and myself as an artist through my experience of working from a studio at Western Ave, and I sincerely hope that when it is ready for visitors, you will visit me sometime so that I can welcome you in and offer you a cup of tea and a hug.

With storage to die for, a warm mix of textures and tones, and the latest in high-tech appliances, this kitchen ticks all the boxes. Owners Rebecca and Shane overhauled the original kitchen as part of a major renovation to the whole apartment, gutting the interior to create a more open layout.
Their brief to designer Corrina Andersen-Allsopp of Creative Space Interiors was for a kitchen that opened up to the living areas and captured the pretty water views, but also one that could cope with Rebecca's serious love of cooking. "We wanted a free-flowing space,
but also a nice, big area," says Rebecca.
RELATED: 10 kitchen design rules
Perfect plan
The galley-style layout offers an abundance of workspace in fresh-look CaesarStone in Snow. A freestanding benchtop includes a casual dining spot at the end, complete with 'Loop' bar stools from Lounge Designer Furniture, which makes it a handy spot for friends to perch with a drink while chatting to the cook. But the best part, according to Rebecca, is that it can now cope with more than one cook at a time. "A lot of galley kitchens are narrow, but this one's really wide, so you can have someone doing their thing on the bench behind you," she says.
The kitchen connects easily with the adjoining living area, but still has a defined space of its own, thanks to the two structural pillars that sit at either end of the bench. "I love being able to cook while my partner is watching TV, and just look out at the view," says Rebecca.
Fabulous finishes
Rebecca wanted a contemporary look, but with a hint of warmth. "The colours we wanted were modern, but quite masculine," she says. That's all here: the honey-toned timber veneer on the cabinetry – New Age Veneers' Enviroven 2 'Ashen Fineline' – provides the warmth, while the chic white CaesarStone benchtop adds a touch of contemporary cool. A mirrored glass splashback reflects natural light and views back into the room and brings a modern edge, while the 600mm x 600mm 'Argento Chiaro' honed marble floor tiles, from Skheme, provide smoky depth.
An enormous, custom-made pendant light shade hanging over the benchtop gives the kitchen a sense of sophistication and at night defines the zone as an intimate dining area.
RELATED: Classic kitchen inspiration
A great entertainer
Along with good looks, the kitchen had to offer high performance, so good storage and top-quality appliances were a must. "I absolutely love cooking," says Rebecca, "and we do a lot of entertaining." She ensured that there was no shortage of storage, with banks of overhead cupboards and deep, wide drawers running the length of the kitchen. The fridge and pantry are tucked behind cabinetry doors, which adds to the streamlined style of the room. "If we did it over again, the only thing I'd change is to go for an even bigger pantry," she says.
Science of appliances
The couple chose the latest mix of Miele appliances, including an extra-wide oven, a steamer oven, built-in coffee machine and induction cooktop. "We wanted good-quality appliances, and needed to keep re-sale in mind, too," Rebecca says.
So far, the new-and-improved kitchen has more than met expectations. Rebecca relishes the user-friendly layout. "It's such a nice space to be in," she says. "And, sure enough, when we have people over, everyone spends the whole time standing in the kitchen!"

Benchtops $7000
Cabinetry $29,000
Appliances $18,000
Floor tiles $1200
