UPDATE: Former teacher sentenced to 8 years for manslaughter, 10 years for failure to render aid in Grand Prairie boy's hit-and-run death
Updated at 11:55 a.m. Friday:
A jury on Friday sentenced former Grand Prairie teacher Tammy Lowe
to eight years in prison for manslaughter and 10 years for failure to stop and render aid in the January 2013 hit-and-run death of 6-year-old John Raidy.
The sentences will be served concurrently, and neither is probated.
The jury earlier in the week convicted Lowe on the manslaughter charge, which carried a maximum sentence of 20 years. She pleaded guilty before trial to failure to stop and render aid, which carried a maximum 10-year sentence.
She is eligible for parole in four years.
We will update with more details as they become available.
Updated at 2:31 p.m. Thursday:
Prosecutors played a video from the fatal hit-and-run that killed a 6-year-old boy for jurors Thursday afternoon. Most of the courtroom was left teary eyed.
It wasn't the blurry video but the audio that made the most impact.
Family members cried silently as the video played, their bodies shaking. One juror took off his glasses to wipe his eyes as he watched. Another juror watched with her hand over her mouth.
As lights from an ambulance and police car light up the night, a police officer tells clearly upset family members that they must stay back from John Paul Raidy as the paramedics treated him.
"He's being treated right now," an officer said off camera. "You've got to let them do their jobs."
John's mother is clearly tearful as she tells his grandfather what happened. They were in the cross walk. They had the right of way. The car ran the red light, hit John and did not stop.
"John Paul, John Paul," the grandfather wails loudly, too many times to count. "John Paul, John Paul."
The grandfather then yells out that various members of the family love John Paul.
What the grandfather doesn't know is that paramedics can't find a pulse and John Paul isn't breathing on his own.
John Paul will be taken to a hospital. But he is already gone.
Updated at 11:16 a.m. Thursday:
A former teacher found guilty of manslaughter Thursday morning testified during the punishment phase of her trial that she is sorry and "would take it back in a second."
"I would take it back or trade places in a second if I could. Even if it meant I would be gone, it would be worth it," Tammy Lowe testified.
She said that "at the intersection … all of a sudden a child ran out. All I saw was a small figure."
"I completely panicked … I had a panic attack."
Lowe described her experiences as a teacher, saying children "were drawn to me."
She was at a school function in the hours before the hit-and-run death of John Raidy. As she walked out to her car, she called her husband to check on him. She put her cell phone in her purse before she started driving.
After hitting Raidy, she said she "had no rational thought of what to do except if I didn't flee, I was going to die."
Lowe testified that she didn't tell her husband of 36 years right away after the crash. She has three kids and three grandchildren. Before resigning from her job as a teacher, Lowe told her husband what bills to pay and how to access retirement funds if they were needed, she said on the stand.
She said that since the crash, she has been seeing a therapist and takes medication to help her sleep "enough to function."
Throughout her testimony, Lowe was soft-spoken and often cried while answering questions.
Updated at 10:05 a.m. Thursday by Tasha Tsiaperas:
A jury found Tammy Lowe guilty of manslaughter today in the hit-and-run death of 6-year-old.
Jurors needed only about two hours to reach a verdict. Lowe's trial immediately proceeded to the punishment phase, and prosecutors put John Raidy's mother back on the stand.
"Nothing is going to bring my John back," Lauren Raidy-Brooks said. "She did what she did and she has to pay for it."
John's father, testifying for the first time, said his daughter was born just 18 hours after John's death. He said John was an integral part of two families.
"John was loved by his stepmom the same way he was loved by his stepfather," Andrew Ellis said. "He got two birthdays, two Christmases, two Thanksgivings."
Ellis said he feels "terror" every time one of his kids runs toward the street now.
Lowe, 54, faces up to 20 years in prison on the manslaughter charge. Failing to stop and render aid, which Lowe pleaded guilty to when her trial began, is punishable by up to 10 years in prison. She could also be eligible for probation.
Original entry (posted at 2:50 p.m. Wednesday):
Jurors are pondering the fate of a former Grand Prairie teacher who ran a red light and struck and killed 6-year-old John Raidy while he was walking to the store with his mother and baby sister to buy candy.
Tammy Lowe, 54, pleaded guilty to stop and render aid at the scene of the fatal crash. But she pleaded not guilty to manslaughter and is being tried on that charge.
The crash happened January 2013 in Grand Prairie when John and his family were in the crosswalk and had the right of way. They were on a walk to buy candy because John "had been so good," his mother told jurors.
Defense attorneys Susan Anderson, Lee Bright and Cameron Gray argued that prosecutors did not prove their case. They argued for the lesser charge of criminally negligent homicide. Manslaughter is punishable by up to 20 years in prison. Criminally negligent homicide is punishable by up to 180 days in the state jail.
Bright, standing before jurors, acknowledged that what happened "is a parent's greatest nightmare. It absolutely is."
But Bright said prosecutors didn't prove that Lowe had the "conscious intent" to run the red light.
"Did she panic? Did she freak out? Was she scared?" Bright asked jurors. "I'd bet all of the above and she made a horrible choice." But that it wasn't manslaughter, he said.
Prosecutors Danielle Uher and Justin McCants countered that Lowe formed the intent because she wasn't paying attention as she drove. She then struck John and didn't stop.
"She chose not to watch where she was going," Uher told jurors. "That's her conscious intent."
Uher told jurors that Lowe should not get "bonus points" for pleading guilty to one of the charges.
The prosecution rested its case after calling witnesses this morning and then the defense rested without calling anyone to testify.
Raidy's mother, Lauren Raidy-Brooks, who testified Tuesday, cried during closing arguments. Lowe took off her glasses and wept as the attorneys spoke.

Part of any teacher's job is to grade their student's performance. But what about the teacher? How are they graded?
Virginia launched a new program this year to give some teachers bonuses if they meet certain goal and the kernel of this idea sprouted in Salem.
Back in August, Governor McDonnell chose Andrew Lewis Middle School in Salem to announce $4.5 million in grant money for teacher bonuses. Starting this school year, if an instructor meets school-decided benchmarks, they get a payout. The program was developed in large part thanks to a group of instructors at Salem City Schools.
Valerie Close, Beth Cook and Amanda Gibson joined with a few other dedicated teachers to implore the state to retain its staff.
"One of the greatest things about this is we all are helping students but some of us have done innovative things in our classroom and this is one of those things this grant has looked at," says high school chemistry teacher Beth Cook. "Who's doing an innovative project and how can we [reward] that?"
Quite simply, instead of the state dictating exactly how a student should be taught, school divisions who got the grant money can now at least in part, help steer teachers in what matters most to their individual school.
"If you're looking at the whole picture I think that achievement has its place but we've discovered that there's other measures looking at academic progress," says assistant principal Amanda Gibson. "Measurements we do with our students that let's a child know where they are coming into the classroom and also shows the effect you've had on that child throughout the school year."
13 school divisions across the commonwealth will be a part of the Strategic Grant Program. Lynchburg City Schools got more than $26,000 for some math teachers to become coaches for other math teachers.
Roanoke City Schools got more than $700,000 for teachers at three elementary schools.
But no one got more than Salem, about $850,000 to give bonuses to more than 300 eligible teachers. The bonus could be as much as five grand.
"They do so much every day, so I really think teachers deserve some sort of compensation for the hard work that they do.," says elementary teacher Valerie Close
But simply offering bonuses is just the beginning of the suggestions Salem has for the rest of the state.
Another idea is to create leadership positions for teachers, so they don't feel locked into their job responsibilities and change careers.
"So you can have opportunities for teachers to move up in their career but still be in the classroom," says Gibson.
Gibson tells WDBJ7 there have been a lot of questions from teachers in Salem about exactly how the bonuses will work, but most are on board with the idea.
The grant money is not guaranteed for any school year after this one, the General Assembly would likely have to make it a line item if the program is successful across the commonwealth.

Todd Carmichael | July 16, 2008
By Todd Carmichael • Wednesday, July 16, 2008 - 12:35
For someone who has experienced "freaky weather" in the Antarctic up close and personal, reports this week that baby Antarctic penguins are freezing to death due to "freak rain storms," came as no surprise.
Fellow explorer Jon Bowermaster had this to say:
Everyone talks about the melting of the glaciers but having day after day of rain in Antarctica is a totally new phenomenon. As a result, penguins are literally freezing to death."
The sad truth is there's been a lot of freaky things happening in the Antarctic lately.
If little baby penguins freezing to death isn't enough, a new study out last week from the University of Washington has found that penguin populations are plummeting due to climate change, pollution and other factors like fish stock depletion and loss of breeding habitat.
Despite it still being the winter season in the Antarctic, with temperatures as low as minus 85 Fahrenheit, the massive Wilkins Ice Shelf is collapsing as we speak.
And then there's the "freaky snow."
With all that ice, it might seem kind of backwards to call snow at the South Pole "freaky," but it is. The Antarctic is literally a desert of ice with an average of 1-inch of precipitation each year.
Antarctica is in fact the the coldest, highest, windiest and driest continent on earth.
Last year, when I attempted to become the first American to reach the South Pole, solo and unaided, it was the "freaky snow" that stopped me in my tracks.
At first the snow fell only lightly. Clouds of tiny crystals sank from the sky like plankton to the sea floor. I stood for a while, still hooked to my sled, unbelieving. It was not clear if what I was seeing was real. My mind and body had become so deeply worn from the hundreds of miles of hauling that at first I could not be sure. I was alone, exhausted and doing my best o stay alive and reach the South Pole on a dwindling supply of food and fuel.
Many days before, injury had taken my expedition partner, along with too much of our supplies. The image of the evacuation plane was now a foggy and distant one, and now here I was, standing alone in the middle of Antarctica witnessing something not easily believable - it seemed to be snowing in the driest place on earth.
But what began as a curious illusion soon turned to real alarm.
Within hours the crystals thickened and turned heavy - and soon visibility would be completely chocked off. By midnight a rare easterly rose, climaxing at to 40 knots. What began as a crystal dance now turned to a full-blown blizzard - the equivalent of torrential rain in the middle of the Sahara. What I was seeing was real, the world had indeed turned upside-down, and it would be more than a week before it could right itself.
I was trapped, wrapped in a blizzard somewhere around the 83rd parallel. A few hundred miles away at Base camp - things were no better. I spoke by satellite phone from my buried tent to Mike Sharp, the Logistics Veteran who had not missed an Antarctic season since 1977. He could offer little comfort:
I've never seen anything like this mate. I don't know what to make of it, but whatever you do, don't move"
Of course I moved, I needed to move, I was running short of food… Struggling over the ice, blinded by fierce white, I began to wonder what had caused this. Could this be an isolated event, or was it part of a bigger system? Could this be part of larger phenomena - like Global Warming?
Last year I was wondering, but now I know for certain that even in the coldest, driest place on earth something just isn't right.
On November 8, 2008 Todd Carmichael will attempt to become the first American in history to reach the South Pole, solo and unaided.

I laugh when I hear
someone scoff at the notion that a warming climate means increased snowfall at the poles.
Anyone who has ever lived in the Great Lakes region can easily understand this.
Let it get cold enough for the lakes to freeze and the lake-effect storms cease. It then takes a storm in off the Atlantic, where there's moisture to evaporate, to deposit appreciable snowfall.
martin f replied on Permalink
Makes total sense. It's so cold at the pole that there's no moisture evaporating inro the air to make the rain (or in this case) snow clouds. Thanks for the explanation exusian.
And good luck on your solo attempt todd!
exusian replied on Permalink
Exactly, but you also have to remember that the elevation of the Antarctic ice cap means atmospheric pressure atop it is pretty low, plus the air is very cold, meaning it can hold very little moisture. (Look up relative and absolute humidity.)

Flaming Penguin Kebab
2 pounds ground or whole penguin
2 sliced onions
2 sliced green or red bell peppers
1 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground garlic
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
2 Bay Leaves
3 sharp skewers
Slice penguin into 1-inch cubes. Mix spices in with olive oil. Marinade cubes in spice mix. Refrigerate overnight, stirring occasionally. Slice onions and bell peppers into wedges. Place vegetables and penguin cubes alternately on skewers. Brush lightly again with marinade. Grill for 10 to 15 minutes until golden brown outside. Douse lightly with brandy or lighter fluid and light before serving.
What next? Marinated Inuits?
Yeah, it's always only about the penguins and polar bears, right? Those Bangladeshis, those Inuits living in Kivalina who are affected by coastal flooding, they simply don't exist! Or even if they do, we can treat them just like penguins and polar bears!
The world economy can do without Inuits, but it can't do without Angry White Males! Thus said Galileo.

I contemplated taking this comment off of the blog because I find it so offensive and so utterly disrespectful of the living - animals and humans alike. I decided, however, that it illustrates perfectly the lack of a coherent, intelligent response by those who deny climate change and how far and low they have to reach when science doesn't work in their favour.

There's no DENYING it -- Penguin Meat is Delicious!
"I contemplated taking this comment off of the blog because I find it so offensive and so utterly disrespectful of the living - animals and humans alike."
I can assure you the penguins are anything but alive when they are served. Rather, they are delicious!
"I decided, however, that it illustrates perfectly the lack of a coherent, intelligent response by those who deny climate change"
Listen, missy, you can deny whatever you want, but nobody can deny that Flaming Penguin Kebab is a mouth-watering treat that's sure to satisfy even the fussiest of dinner guests.
"and how far and low they have to reach when science doesn't work in their favour."
Ha! Why not do yourself a favour – Try my recipe for Flaming Penguin Kebab. You'll be smacking your lips, and coming back for seconds!
P.S. You eat chicken, don't you, you big cry-baby?
epicure ignores Inuits, then tries to hide his racism
epicure, first you ignore the existence of Bangladeshis and Kivalina Inuits – both groups which are affected by coastal flooding.
Then you ignore the fact that you ignored these people.
Perhaps it's because you just discovered that you're a racist fool who thinks the only people who matter are Angry White Males? And that you're too embarassed to admit this fact?
You're disgusting, and I hope you freeze in Inuit hell.

Back to the subject at hand
As usual these articles are long on adjectives and short on data.
Exactly what are "freak rain storms"? Do they happen yearly, every decade or every century? How much history do we really have? The rain is taking place on the Antarctic Peninsula which is north of the Antarctic Circle as far north as about 63 degrees south which means it's no further south then Reykjavík, Iceland is north. The Antarctic Peninsula is also part of West Antarctica which is only one-third of the continent. West Antarctica is warming. East Antarctica (two-thirds of the continent) is cooling. When you read about Antarctica melting notice how it's West Antarctica they mention. Little or no mention will be made of the much larger East Antarctica cooling.
"The massive Wilkins Ice Shelf" is melting. The Wilkins Ice Shelf is 150km X 110km or 16,500 sq km (80mi X 60mi or 4,800 sq mi). Now 16,500 sq kilometers sounds like allot but as of June 2008 there was 14.5 million sq kilometers of ice around Antarctica. That by the way compares with 13.8 million in 2007 and 12.6 in 1979 (the first year of satellite data). The June 2008 number is the record most ice for June in the short, 30 year history of Antarctica. Did you notice that they didn't mention that ice surrounding Antarctica is increasing?
"Freaky snow" Todd Carmichael states that Antarctica is a desert that gets only about 1 inch of precipitation each year. I've actually seen 2 inches. One inch is a rough equivalent to about 10 inches of snow and 10 inches of "dry snow" will have less water in it then 10 inches of (wet snow) so it could be more. I'm also betting that it snows more in Antarctica in the summer then the winter. He spent 23 days out there so he should expect to see some snow. He mentions a "rare easterly" wind but also mentioned Antarctica is the "windiest and driest continent on earth." He never mentioned how much snow actually came down.
"I've never seen anything like this mate." That is hardly a definitive statement.
He ends with this gem "Could this be part of larger phenomena - like Global Warming?"
The bottom line is that any and everything can be and is blamed on global warming.

Of Mice and Men
by John Steinbeck
Symbolism, Imagery, Allegory
Mice represent the false hope of a safe space for Lennie. The title is a good hint that mice are important here, but the first mouse we encounter is a dead one. Actually, it's a dead one that Lennie keeps in his pocket to pet. This is a huge clue: Lennie doesn't care much about death, and he's more concerned with comfort—remembering this makes Lennie's death a bit more palatable. He'll be more comfortable if dead by his friend's gentle hand than with a violent end from Curley or the cage of an asylum.
Mice are a source of comfort for Lennie, as he links them to his nice Aunt Clara. In fact they're all he really remembers of her. But in addition to this warm reminder, mice also make it clear that Lennie suffers from the problem of hurting what he loves. He likes to pet soft things, which leads him to kill mice, his puppy, and Curley's wife; thus Lennie's happiness tends to end in some form of suffering. Like Lennie, mice suffer because they're small: a mouse's physical smallness leaves it vulnerable, while Lennie's mental smallness is his undoing.
Finally, coming back to the title, mice, like men, suffer from the randomness of destiny. As the Burns poem goes, both mice and men are victim to their best laid plans going awry. From the largest to the smallest creature, the most important to the least important man, destiny doesn't discriminate in laying out cruel fates. So at the end of the day, Lennie is in his own way much like a mouse—killed because of his vulnerability, and in spite of his innocence.

The It Girl
Part of what's lovely about Rumer Willis is her candor. She knows you know who her parents are. Says the star of the summer comedy The House Bunny: "I grew up with a mom that most moms don't look like." With a little help from Demi, and a little experimentation, she's finding her own way:
"My mom taught me when I was little about keeping my skin clean, and I'm so grateful."
"There's a cool Korean spa my mom found in L.A. I go with my best friend, Jessica Szohr [see page 132]. That and getting my nails done are my biggest indulgences."
"I've been trying to grow out my hair since I was 10. But it's so hard for me; I have such curly hair that when it gets to my shoulders, it turns into this big fro, and I don't have the patience to let it go. When your hair is short, there are a lot of things that go with that. I've had some really fun, cool haircuts and some really bad ones!"
She's philosophical about bloggers taking potshots:
"If you focus your energy into what other people think of you, you'll never be happy with yourself."
Age: 29
The Newbie
You have a unique look. What's your ethnicity?
Ready for this? Mongolian-Norwegian on my mom's side. French, Native American, Irish, German, and I think Scottish and Welsh on my dad's.
Since your relationship with George Clooney has put you more in the public eye, do you feel compelled to look beautiful 24/7?
At first, definitely. I'm starting to relax, because obviously you can't keep that up. There are more important things than to sit in front of a mirror for an hour a day.
What did you learn from seeing pictures of yourself?
Posture! And in the candid shots, to make sure you're smiling or at least look happy. You don't want to look pissed off! [Laughs] Or you might end up in a paper "having a fight."
Does motorcycling with George mess up your hair?
I usually braid it and throw the helmet on; you're going to look like you had a hat on anyway. And if you have the faceless helmet, I found out you shouldn't put on moisturizer because the dirt from the road sticks to it. I would take my sunglasses off and have muddy stripes across my face. Now I bring facial wipes with me.
Do you feel more beautiful when you're in love?
Doesn't everybody?

The Olympian
Confessions of a gold-medal swimmer:
"When you're competing, you shave everything your swimsuit doesn't cover besides eyebrows: your legs, your arms, your back. When I was in high school and college, we'd have shaving parties. We'd shave each other's backs."
"I wear makeup in the water. I always wear a waterproof mascara, Maybelline Volume Express. All my makeup is waterproof, even my concealer."
"To look good in the water, you have to pick the right swimsuit. I own close to 500."
Age: 31
The Cult Favorite
She's made her mark on an American show, Pushing Daisies, but the British film star—who's a regular in the London press, owing to her marriage to actor David Thewlis, of the Harry Potter franchise—credits her looks to "my Irish genes. I think I have good cheekbones." Despite her U.S. success, she refuses to adopt a typical Hollywood attitude about her appearance. "When I was starting out, I was at the craft-service table eating a donut, and someone said, 'I wouldn't do that,'" says Friel. "I thought about it, and I ate the donut. You don't have to deprive yourself."
Age: 33
The Dancing Defensive End
If he hasn't already taken enough ribbing from his Miami Dolphins teammates about his elegant moves on Dancing with the Stars, more is on the way. "This article will be plastered in the locker room," predicts the 6'6" Taylor. To make it easier for the less-refined Dolphins, we provide a list of talking points:
1. He gets manicures and pedicures. "I admit it. I take care of myself, and I enjoy it."
2. "I get facials. When you're sweating, the pores on your nose get dirty."
3. He bleaches his teeth, shaves his chest, uses moisturizers that "my wife [Katina] gives me," and often takes longer to get dressed.
4. Dancing with the Stars—for which he powders his head to keep it from shining—has got him in his best off-season shape. "I've leaned and trimmed up."
5. In high school "I was 6'3" and weighed 170 lbs. I was like a No. 2 pencil! I was last to be picked to play."
With that, let the locker-room mockery begin.
"In the guy world, it's a sign of respect. I'd be more worried if they didn't tease me."
The Cool Kids
Onscreen, they are gorgeous, scheming, backstabbing high schoolers. Off-screen, Blake Lively, Chace Crawford, Ed Westwick, Jessica Szohr, Penn Badgley, Leighton Meester and Taylor Momsen (clockwise from bottom) are still gorgeous but somewhat kinder to one another. Want proof? Turn the page for a Gossip Girl "slam book" that reads more like a mash note. "I assure you," says Badgley, "we are all fun and charming as hell."

Apollon Intro, Index & Gallery
Apollon Loves
Apollon Cult 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5
Apollon Titles & Epithets
APOLLON was the great Olympian god of prophecy, oracles, healing and disease, music, poetry, archery, and the protection of the young.
The majority of Apollon's children were only linked to him with the briefest of genealogical references. Most of these were the mythical founders of certain (historical) noble houses and priestly clans. Others were named as his sons to emphasize their skill as musicians or seers.
The quotes on this page are merely a collection of odd genealogical references. For actual myths featuring Apollon, his loves and children, see the Apollon Loves and Favour pages (under constuction).

DJ Reggie Yates is no radio head
12:19am Tuesday 4th September 2012 in © Press Association 2014
Reggie Yates has confessed he does not tend to tune into his own station when he is at home.
The Voice host, 29, presents the Official Chart show on Sunday afternoons on Radio 1.
But he admitted he does not listen to the radio much, telling the Radio Times: "I don't really listen to the radio at home.
"Call me a control freak, but I like to know what's about to be played when I'm waking up because it needs to be the right record.
"So I compile my own playlists: a wake-up playlist, a go-to-sleep playlist, a sexy-time playlist..."

When I was told at the R&D Center that I'd be designing a genuine EV sports car, I was overjoyed. I had originally joined Honda with the dream of designing a true small sports car, and many of my colleagues have the same dream. For my design, I wanted to let people experience the fun of a small convertible sports car that's perfect for the EV era.
Honda has a history of successful small sports cars and therefore has a wealth of design history to draw upon. Although I wanted to avoid basing my design on nostalgia, I didn't feel that designing an EV sports meant making everything different from the past, either. Certainly, some things would change while others would not. I wanted this to be a car that would make car lovers smile and make young people who are not yet into cars think, "Wow, a car is a really cool vehicle." Creating this kind of coolness was my goal.
Usually, the exterior and interior designs of an automobile are clearly divided and assigned to two different designers, but for the EV-STER there was no such boundary, and both design tasks were combined. After all, the exterior and interior of a convertible are one and the same. With everything focused on the driver, the EV-STER represents a completely new approach to the sports car.

Ron Tanner and Jill Eicher are the Houselove team: their project of renovating a circa-1897 Baltimore row house turned from a hobby almost into a vocation, as Ron's blog (and new book) have turned the Houselove couple into a fixture among the reno-obsessed.
Recently they bought a used Sprinter van, and turned it into their own sweet custom Sprinter camper van. The really unique part – not only is it a conversion done on a 118? chassis, so it's super-compact, but it also has a one-of-a-kind retro feel to it, kind of like…a stylishly redone old house! Coincidence?
This summer [2012] was busy for Ron: he took a 40-state tour in the Houselove Sprinter camper (along with Cleo the basset hound) to promote From Animal House to Our House, his new book. I caught up with Ron to ask him some questions about his process of turning their Sprinter into a DIY Sprinter conversion.
What were your reasons for doing this conversion on a Sprinter, and a 118" Sprinter at that?
Ron: "I did a lot of research on which van to convert. I was most interested in small vehicles because mine had to fit into my garage — I live in mid-town Baltimore and have no driveway and can't trust that a vehicle like this would be safe when parked on the streets. I was attracted to Westfalia VWs, but decided that they were too small – Jill, my wife, really wanted a toilet in the van, for example. The Sprinter was hands-down the best bet for getting the most space in the smallest package. It's also a stylish vehicle, especially when compared to conventional vans. The 118? fit into my garage perfectly. Also, it would be easy to maneuver in cities. So I was sold on this model."
What were your major design goals?
"The biggest challenge was to make the van ultra-efficient in terms of space and also aesthetically pleasing, with wood cabinets and stainless steel counters. I owned a VW van in college and had converted that to a camper, but it had many limits. Still, I liked the idea of having a van that was almost micro in size."
Did you end up doing several designs, or just one?
"As a design project, this was a huge challenge. At first, before I got the van, I imagined it would have much more space than it does — I was dreaming big. But then, after I got the van, I saw how small it truly is, so I had to work through several designs. The challenge was in three parts: I had to have 1) a cooktop and sink, b) enough storage for food, kitchen equipment — including a water heater, and c) a full bed.
Taking inspiration from the VW vans, I made my bed a tri-fold bench seat and put it in the back, in the usual seat position. This separated the far-back, where I would put my electrical system, from the middle of the van, which is the living area. Once the bed was in place, I had to figure out how to arrange the rest. Breakthroughs were:
finding a small water heater that would fit under the sink; this opened up space in the far back for the toilet; by stacking two storage cabinets next to the toilet (and giving up a view through the rear door windows), I created a tremendous amount of storage space as a "garage"; then by building a tall, narrow storage unit (with sliding doors) over one wheel, I created a surprising amount of vertical storage for clothes."
About how long did the conversion take you to design and build, and roughly how much did it cost?
"Total cost was close to $60K. $20K for the used 2006 van (with 60K miles on it). Biggest expense was the electrical system: solar panels, 6 AGM batteries, big inverter, breaker panels, etc. Second biggest expense was the custom paint job and body work. Third biggest expense was the water system, which included custom aluminum holding tanks, custom stainless steel counter and other fixtures. The van itself needed some mechanical work (EGR valve and shifter/transmission, which cost several thousand dollars. I replaced the shocks and stabilizer bar, got new tires.
I bought the van in July 2011. It took me 3 months to get it back from the painter (he was good but really slow and, frankly, unreliable). I didn't start working on it myself until Nov. 2011 and finished it in May 2012. So my own work on the van, with some down time for custom tank fittings etc., lasted about 6 months."
What are the features of the design that you feel turned out the best?
"I'm really happy with how the van interior works. When the bed is folded out, it fits snugly in the middle living area such that you are nearly level with the sink and stove-top: it creates a nestlike or treehouse atmosphere: you have access to everything in the van from that comfy spot.
I am surprised by how much storage space there is for clothes and food. For four months, I traveled fully loaded all over the country and then, when Jill joined me, I still had room for her stuff too. I'm really pleased with the electrical system. I've got all the outlets and lights and extras I've ever wanted. And, because of multiple power sources (both solar and alternator feed), I can take this van anywhere without power worries. I consulted with a marine electrician and then an auto electrician to make sure I got everything right."
What are the things you wish you'd done differently?
"Honestly, I wish I had taken more time with the cabinetry. It looks fine but it's not nearly as good as it could have been. But I was under a very pressing deadline. In fact, I just barely had the van done by the time I was due on the road in May 2012. I continue to refine the interior — there are a lot of finishing touches I plan to add, like aluminum trim. And I'm still refining some extras, like my fog lights (there's a short) and my junk drawer, which needs partitions for better organization."

Investment Trusts: Are you on to a winner?
The year so far has been a good one for investors, marking the best first quarter for equity markets in more than a decade.
But when it comes to picking out the best vehicles in which to invest, it can be as difficult as successfully backing the winning horse at the Grand National.
Simply opting for the biggest fund, or indeed the longest running, is not always the best choice. However, according to research from Canaccord Genuity on the 25 largest investment trusts, which looks at their 10-year records compared with relevant indices and similar open-ended funds, 22 have outperformed key benchmarks over the past decade, with an average compound outperformance of 3.3 percentage points.
Furthermore, all 16 equity focused investment companies have outperformed the equivalent open-ended fund sector average over the past 10 years, by a simple annualised mean of 4.3 percentage points.
The investment trust sector is often seen as a collection of old favourites, but of the 25 largest nine were launched in the past 10 years
Some of the larger equity-focused trusts are also paying an income to match the sector's considerable capital growth. In March, Alliance Trust, the biggest of Canaccord Genuity's 25 picks, unveiled its biggest dividend hike in 20 years – a 2.577p per share dividend - representing a bumper 7.2 per cent annual increase.
In its annual statement, Katherine Garrett-Cox, chief executive, said the trust's bumper dividend was fully covered by last year's earnings.
"We have generated returns well ahead of the sector as a whole and, crucially for our long term investors, we have been able to grow the dividend by more than 7 per cent."
This success is also not being lost on IFAs ahead of the implementation of the RDR at the start of next year, in spite of widespread scepticism about whether the vehicles will gain ground.
The RDR rules require that advisers consider all types of investments, including closed-end funds, as alternatives for their clients if they wish to retain their coveted independent status. As Alan Brierley, analyst at Canaccord Genuity, puts it: "The growing recognition of this superior long-term record bodes well for the investment company sector with the introduction of the RDR looming."
Furthermore, Mr Brierley notes, these 25 largest closed-end funds – which retail investors typically find easier to buy and sell than their smaller peers _ feature a growing number of alternative strategies which can be hard to access in the form of an open-ended vehicle. These alternative strategies, he notes, can be useful in diversifying investors' portfolios.
"A key feature of the past decade has been the growing prominence of the alternative investment sub-sectors of hedge funds, private equity, infrastructure, property and debt," he says.

This is a not-horrible list of things to stop doing, preferably today. Here are a couple. Number 3? Yeah, your life will improve incredibly if you do that one thing.
2. Letting someone else create your dreams for you. – The greatest challenge in life is discovering who you are; the second greatest is being happy with what you find. A big part of this is your decision to stay true toyour own goals and dreams. Do you have people who disagree with you? Good. It means you're standing your ground and walking your own path. Sometimes you'll do things considered crazy by others, but when you catch yourself excitedly losing track of time, that's when you'll know you're doing the right thing. Read The 4-Hour Workweek.
3. Keeping negative company. – Don't let someone who has a bad attitude give it to you. Don't let them get to you. They can't pull the trigger if you don't hand them the gun. When you remember that keeping the company of negative people is a choice, instead of an obligation, you free yourself to keep the company of compassion instead of anger, generosity instead of greed, and patience instead of anxiety.
Oh, come on, just try a couple.
