The son also writes
Forgive me, readers. It's been six years since my last confession, by which I mean a column for the Henrico Citizen.
I took some time off from column-writing to pen a novel, never believing it would be published. But the historical novel, entitled The Outer Banks House, was published by Crown in June of 2010.
I made the whole business look too easy, I'm afraid, for now my eleven-year-old son believes that he too will be a published author, most likely in the next couple of years.
My son has other grand visions for himself as well. He wants to be a professional tennis player when he grows up. He wants a pool in the big backyard of his big house and a menagerie of pets that I would never let him have.
I told him that authors don't make very much money, barring those best-selling novelists like Stephen King and John Grisham. I told him I've thought of starting my own "Occupy Publishing House" movement, to try to draw attention to the 99 percent of published authors who don't make enough to support even themselves, much less a family.
But my pep talks don't seem to sway him away from the activity of writing.
My son spent a good part of his life watching me write my novel. He watched as I revised it for both my agent and for my editor. He was there when I opened the first delivery of hardback books from the publishing house. He often met my readers at book-signings and read a few of the e-mails I received.
Ah, the writing life. So glamorous.
I wouldn't think that watching someone write would be very interesting. I might equate it with watching someone brush their teeth or cut their fingernails. But he must have found something intriguing about the process, for he now writes fiction pretty much any chance he gets.
"I'm going upstairs to write," he'll announce when he gets home from school, or from playing outside with friends, or from tennis practice. He writes more than I do these days, if you want to know the truth. Whole chapters, day after day after day. My son writes like he talks, which it to say, a lot.
I recently read the first chapter of a book that he's writing about three young boys who stumble upon a forgotten zoo. I was amazed at his pacing, his use of dialogue, his subtle humor. And he has other ideas on the back-burner, including a children's book about border collies (based upon our own crazy border collie Toby). He wants to write scripts for a kids' Saturday Night Live.
I have secretly congratulated myself on having had such a marvelous effect on my first-born offspring. Because of me and my success, my son likes to write! It's basic parenting knowledge: model the behaviors you wish to see in your children. Read so that your children will want to read, that kind of thing.
But perhaps it's not me at all.
Perhaps a love of writing is a part of who he is. He doesn't seem particularly interested in my (a published author's!) feedback. He's just content to write for the love of writing itself. It flows naturally from him, a gift from the gods.
I didn't learn the passion for writing from my parents. But they showed me the value of hard work and persistence. They imparted the value of a good education. I chose the writing life on my own.
In the same vein, my son might one day be a published author, but I would never take the credit for such an accomplishment. It would be his passion and his hard work and persistence that brought about his success, certainly not mine.
Perhaps the only thing I've given my son is the courage to face the blank page, and the knowledge that there are readers out there, waiting on a well-told story.
Diann Ducharme is the author of The Outer Banks House and is a wife, mother of three children and owner of one border collie. Her column will appear in the second issue of the Henrico Citizen each month, and you may also find her at http://www.diannducharme.com, where she blogs about the writing life.

Every spring team invites extra players and prospects to create competition for roster spots. It also gives some younger players an opportunity to face major league level competition and the organization to evaluate some of their prospects.
Generally teams will have a number of players that casual fans wouldn't recognize, but the Astros are in a different situation because they have been calling up a number of prospects over the past two years. Here are eight players currently in camp that fans may not have heard of.

Who wants to know
All that is gold is rusting
No one will know
When seasons cease to change and..
How far we've gone
How far we're going
It's the here and the now
And the love for the sound
Of the moments that keep us moving
Waves crash along
The battered, lonely lighthouse
Tomorrow she's gone
And if not, someday somehow
Are these hands a waste
Well this side of mortality is
Scaring me to death
To death
Don't think about it at all
Just keep your head low
And don't think about it all
Soldier on, soldier on
Keep your heart close to the ground
Soldier on, soldier on, keep your heart
Close to the ground
Don't think about it at all
Just keep your head low
Don't think about it at all
Yeah, will you take me tonight
Yeah, will you take me tonight
Yeah, will you take me tonight
soldier on
soldier on
keep your heart
close to the ground

Don't forget the okra! If you think the only way to eat okra is breaded and fried, or even boiled and slimy (although, I must admit, I like it that way), think again. For a couple of interesting ways to cook okra, slice and sauté in a little canola oil until just brown and crispy or slice it in half and grill it on each side until crispy. The "slime" disappears and you're left with a unique, satisfying treat.
Zucchini and squash are available in abundance all summer long and taste great when sautéed in canola oil with a little onion, garlic, salt and pepper. Feeling decadent? Try topping it off with a handful of panko bread crumbs mixed with grated Parmesan cheese; sprinkle over the top and broil until brown. I do it all in an iron skillet and it takes about 10 minutes from start to finish. One medium yellow squash or zucchini is usually plenty for me as a meal or a side, depending on my hunger level.
Watermelon can be savory too! A little chopped red onion and crumbled feta combine with cut watermelon to make an awesome salad. You can usually find all of the ingredients on your Whole Foods Market salad bar and toss them together yourself. Add a little freshly chopped mint if you have it on hand or in your garden for some extra zing.
Don't forget dessert! Cut a peach in half, discard the pit and brush with some melted butter and brown sugar. Grill cut-side down for about 3 or 4 minutes. Serve with ice cream or just eat them by themselves.
A container of cut, seedless watermelon in our produce session is always a great treat for one since buying a whole watermelon for one person is a little intimidating, to say the least!

Charleston attorney Akim Anastopoulo wants the state Supreme Court to allow him to sue a fellow lawyer he alleges made defamatory statements against him during proceedings in a 2012 civil case.
Anastopoulo, known as "Judge Extreme Akim" from his time on the nationally syndicated court show "Eye for an Eye," is appealing the dismissal of a defamation suit he had filed in Florence County in February 2012.
The Supreme Court heard arguments in the case Wednesday morning.
Anastopoulo alleges that Myrtle Beach attorney Edward Cole made disparaging and libelous statements about him during a civil case the two attorneys were arguing in federal court in Florence County starting in 2011, according to court records.
Cole's attorney and Anastopoulo said court rules prevented them from discussing the case.
Anastopoulo alleges that Cole made derogatory statements in an email, a motion and three memos related to a lawsuit in which Anastopoulo represented a woman who had filed suit against a car insurance company following a wreck. Cole was representing the insurance company.
Cole made statements in a memo that accused Anastopoulo of making threats and using "outright trickery" in his effort to win the case, according to a brief filed with S.C. Supreme Court on behalf of Anastopoulo.
In other court documents filed in the car insurance suit, Cole stated Anastopoulo and his client were involved in a "shameful course of conduct." He accused Anastopoulo of misleading the court and referred to his conduct as scurrilous, deceitful and perfidious, documents state.
Anastopoulo denied those allegations and went after Cole with a defamation lawsuit.
In August 2012, Cole asked the circuit court to dismiss the defamation case on the grounds that his statements were protected because they were part of the judicial proceedings, according to court records.
A judge granted that request and dismissed Anastopoulo's suit, agreeing that Cole's statements were protected by state law, court records stated.
Anastopoulo is now asking the higher court to consider whether or not the dismissal was proper.
Wednesday morning, both sides had 10 minutes to argue their case before the state Supreme Court justices.
It could be months before the justices hand down a decision.

L2139/424 Eyewear
The term "visual aid" is unsuitable for L2139. This is an accessory that ushers in a new you, emphasizing your clear view on fashion. The L2139 is available in the Edel-Optics online shop in other styles from Lacoste collections 2015 and 2016.
With no frills and state-of-the-art materials and craftsmanship, these men's glasses stand for stylish design and self-confidence. Wearing classical semi-rim eyewear, your outfit is given ample space to achieve its effect, still leaving enough room for a stylish accent in your face. As a result, this type of frame is very versatile and combinable. The quadratic shape makes the face appear longer, due to its straight outer edges. The frame is, therefore, particularly advantageous for more rounded facial features. The noble metal frame allows for filigree lines and creates an extraordinary lightness in appearance. In addition, metal eyeglasses are virtually indestructible - strong, flexible and corrosion resistant. The colour blue is fresh and modern. Having the courage to choose such an exciting colour offers a new approach.
With the help of our digital dispensing optician, your prescription lenses can be configured according to your own requirements. Anti-reflective and cleaning coatings, antistatic and lotus effect are included as standard for plastic lenses.
Even if this Lacoste is presently not in stock, it is worth ordering now, because the current price can't be beaten. If you buy at Edel-Optics you get the best price, because "in the sale" is our standard.

Cheryl Cole is suing the producers of the talent show "The X Factor" for at least $2.3 million, court records filed in Los Angeles indicate.
The Hollywood Reporter quoted the lawsuit as saying Cole had a pay-or-play contract for two seasons and was not paid her $2 million salary and additional expenses for Season 2.
She was, however, paid for Season 1, even though she never appeared on the U.S. show.

same as wising, but used by Alexs around the world to create an air of intelligence while in reality only creating confusion.
Creating a new version after the first is done is really easy, so I guess they're wisening up and lowering budgets.

Price Value Quality
ALL super S products are junk. bottom line. the price reflects it, nothing in this world is free. the owner has over a hundred classic cars, dozers, trackhoes, etc. and does not even use his own products in his own equipment. this is all recycled junk that will tear your equipment up. there are multiple law suits against the company for destroying tractors, logging equipment, etc. let a bucket of super trac set up for a month or so then empty the whole can and watch all the goo come out the bottom. good quality oil doesnt seperate like that.

Jenni Burks ('11) | College of Business Administration
Accounting & finance major
from Weatherford, Texas
Jenni Burks says ACU has prepared her for so much more than she expected. "Here I have been taught about values, ethics and beliefs... ACU has prepared me on how to be the same person at home, church and at work."
Q&A with Jenni
Did you always want to have a career in business?
I always knew I would be involved in the business industry somehow. However, I didn't always know it would be accounting. I have always been outgoing and I always enjoy meeting people, so I knew that I could use my strength in people skills with some business degree. Also, I typically see everything as a problem with a solution, and in accounting there is usually an answer.
What has been your opinion of COBA so far? What sets COBA apart as a department?
COBA is an exceptional department at ACU. You get great one-on-one experience from professors, faculty and staff within the business school. Your advisers are always on top of your degree plan emailing you with the latest update. Also, COBA's networking is phenomenal. I have no doubts in ACU's ability to connect me to my specific industry. I feel like they are always presenting us with some way to get to know prospective employers and to inform us on how to really sell yourself as an individual to get that dream job you want.
Any favorite professors? If so, what makes them a favorite?
Dr. Stewart is one of my favorite COBA professors. I got to know him well when I studied abroad with him and his family. Because of this experience Dr. Stewart became more of a mentor than someone who teaches me curriculum. He is passionate about finance, and this comes across in his class.
In what ways has ACU prepared you academically for your future?
ACU has prepared me for so much more than I expected. Here I have been taught about values, ethics, and beliefs. I was taught to develop your own and to keep them, especially while in the working field. At many other universities you won't get that attention on ethics and values like you do here and it won't be Christian-based. ACU has prepared me on how to be the same person at home, church, and at work.
What do you plan to do after graduation?
I plan to attend graduate school, get my Master's in Accounting so I can sit for the CPA exam, and then go into public accounting.
What do you think sets your ACU experience apart from other universities?
I think it is the integration of faith and the personal relationships in general, not just with professors, that sets ACU apart. It is kind of hard to describe, but as soon as you step foot on campus you can feel it. There is something about this small Christian campus that makes everyone automatically bonded. The students and faculty here typically are overly friendly and more than willing to meet new people. Other universities that I have visited do not have this same atmosphere. There you pass another student walking to class, and there isn't the slightest glance in your direction. Here you greet anyone you come across, and sometimes these people become your best friends.

When FRAND meets FOSS: Bottom Up or Top Down?

Still looking for the perfect gift for that hard-to-buy-for someone?
The U.S. may be the place where more emerging technologies bubble up than anywhere else, but when it comes to developing public policies to address new technologies, Europe continues to hold the lead. That reality was underlined recently with the release of a report summarizing the proceedings and conclusions of a European Commission (EC)/European Patent Office (EPO) workshop titled Implementing FRAND standards in Open Source: Business as usual or mission impossible?That workshop (on which more below) is only part of a larger series of efforts surrounding the ongoing evolution of the EU legal framework, ICT Standardization policy, and much more.

HOUSTON - A federal appeals court is allowing a death row inmate to appeal his conviction for killing a mother and her two children in Pampa more than 14 years ago.
Henry Watkins Skinner, 46, has won approval from the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to pursue arguments that a police blood spatter report should have been used by his lawyers at his capital murder trial to bolster his defense.
Skinner was convicted of fatally bludgeoning his girlfriend, Twila Jean Busby, 40, with an ax handle, then fatally stabbing her two mentally impaired sons, Elwin Caler, 22, and Randy Busby, 20, at their Pampa home on New Year's Eve in 1993.
The New Orleans-based court, in granting what's known as a certificate of appealability, also agreed Skinner's trial lawyers should have called a woman as a defense witness to support his contention that another man was responsible for the slayings.
"We express no view on how any claims should be resolved," a three-judge panel said in its ruling posted late Wednesday.
At his 1995 trial, moved 300 miles southeast of Pampa to Fort Worth on a change of venue, the defense acknowledged Skinner was present at the time of the killings but said he was passed out on the couch from a combination of alcohol and codeine.
In his appeal, Skinner said the blood spatter report suggests Caler was in the immediate vicinity of his mother at the time of her assault, meaning the murderer would have had to "fend off two live victims at the same time," according to court documents. Skinner insisted he was too incapacitated to commit the slayings.

Commissioned by Javelin Australia, we recently had the opportunity to conduct an exclusive interview with Santa. Not some half-arsed, drunken imitation, but the real thing.
Santa was in Melbourne to explain how kids can get in touch with him via the old-fasioned method of writing a letter.
"Send your letters to Santa," urged Santa, "at North Pole 9999. Put a 70c stamp on the envelope and write your name and address on the back."
He promised to reply to every letter. Quite a task, but he's up for it.
We then chatted to some children at Newport Lakes Primary School in Melbourne, who completed the task with little effort and also told us what they were hoping to get for Christmas.
Watch out for the resultant videos on Auspost's social media pages and various news networks as we approach Christmas.

Historical Traveler Reviews White House Beach Resort & Spa Ko Samui
Not as good as it once was
This was our third and definitely last visit to the Hotel White House. We previously stayed in 2002/2003 and after those stays had very high opinions of the Hotel White House - at the time it really lived up to its claim of "where each guest is a president". Unfortunately we think that the ethos behind the hotel has changed - and with a big chunk of the reason that we would stay there.
The hotel has changed hands and gone with the old management, is the omnipresence of a manager, who made sure everything was perfect - from service to decor. (In our last stay of a week we did not see the manager once - or at lest he or she did not introduce him/herself to us - pretty remarkable for a hotel of about 40 rooms).
In this stay, we noticed that lots of the small things that made the hotel special had stopped. No longer are there flowers on your bed every night, camphor in the wardrobe. Our room smelled pretty musty and in the bathroom the jacuzzi bath did not work. Unfortunately our bathroom smelled strongly of drains for our entire stay. What we did find a bit bizarre was that the toiletries were from the Fullerton Hotel in Singapore! They all used to be branded Hotel White House. Our room did not contain a hotel directory - not a problem because we were returning guests, but a significant omission for new guests.
The hotel restaurant is still good, and there is an extensive menu.
The restaurant music - Brittney Spears and Westlife - played all day for our entire stay - as this is heard from the pool as well as the restaurant it becomes grating after a day let alone a week - the 2 CD's are repeated endlessly......
The hotel Boutique has closed - not a big problem, but why are there just a pile of matresses in the window? - it doesnt look great.
When we came last I think there was a rule that you had to wear foot wear and a shirt to the dining area (but I could be wrong). That no longer seems to be the case - some people in singlets and no shoes saunter along for breakfast and lunch - people still do tend to wear a shirt for dinner however.
In summary, the hotel has changed and seems to be aiming at a more mass market clientele. The staff are really pretty good but like anything they need leadership and direction. If you want a Honeymoon experience, the Sala just down the beach is better suited to you in my opinion. If you have children and want a "bucket and spade" type holiday the White House is OK.
Lovely small hotel
I defintely do not agree with the negative comments about this hotel. We have just returned form an 8 night stay here.
we arrived to a nice welcome with a drink and a helpful member of staff. there were flowers on the bed. The room had everything you needed and the bathroom was very clean. The jacuzzi bath did not work, but we did not want it so never reported the fault.
Found all the staff very friendly and very helpful. The pool was lovely and not at all murky as one review seems to suggest.
The hotel is surrounded by lovely greenery leading you down a path to the restaurant and the beach. Breakfast although not amazing is nice, and the chefs will cook anything you request. The lunch and evening meal food is delicious and good value for money.
Cheong Mon itself is a really nice resort if you prefer the piece and quiet. Its location means for a couple of hundred baht you can get to Chewang which is much busier, or to Fishermans Village (Bophut) which is in between the two in the lively stakes. Cheong Mon itself has some lovely beach bars all of which are very cheap with good food which can be eaten at tables directly on the beach.
I would recommend the White House as an excellent choice for the money paid. We spent 2 nights in the Sala Samui 4 hotels up and yes this was amazing in comparison, but everything cost at least 4 times more! White House is a lovely, small, very pretty hotel and I would return.
Seedy place
We found the hotel not well mantained and management rather incompetent. For the price of $120USD/night in Thailand - quite a rip-off.
The rooms were dark and a bit musty smelling. Baseboards in need of a fresh coat of paint. The toilet seat cover was stained and yellow. Shampoo filled in bottles with the name of Fullerton hotel in Singapore.
The water in the pool was uninvitigly merky, perhaps due to poor filtration system. The white table cloths and chair covers in the breakfast room were stained. There were piles of pipes stacked against the wall of the hotel on the beach side and piles of furniture and chairs stored along the walkway.
On Sunday, there was no manager on duty. Staff were rather incompetent. In response to one mistake made by the hotel, a staff member said "it wasn't me!".
Apparently, the hotel used to be run by a Swiss management team but has changed hands about a year ago, according to staff. Too bad the Swiss left!
Very Happy
We have just had 10 days at the white house hotel. We stayed in a deluxe room and it was great value for money. I cannot say enough about the staff. They were very friendly and helped us in every way the could. As part of package we had a free airport pickup and they also dropped us back to the airport free of charge. The hotel is situated on Choeng Mon beach which is very peaceful and beautiful. We had the option to eat in our hotel or just take a stroll along the beach to try and of the other beach side resteraunts, all overlooking the water. Overall staying in Choeng Mon is a lovely experience compared to the hustle and bustle of Chewang. The white house was perfect for us, well priced, free newspaper each day, excellent choice of food for breakfast and free internet each day.....as well as been right on the most beautiful beach in Samui.
Excellent hotel
we found this hotel to suit all our needs especially with a young family.
situated on the beach, the hotel pool kept our children happy all day long
the staff were very friendly and nothing was to much trouble
the rooms were a nice airy type and clean. if you want an away from it all hotel then try this one.
Nice hotel, excellent people
I stayed at the White House on Honeymoon, after we had to rearrange our travel plans because of the 2004 tsunami. I was initially sceptical about how busy Koh Samui would be, as we were looking for somewhere very quiet and un-touristy. The White House provided us with a lovely amount of secluded tranquility in what is just about the quietest part of the island. The hotel is small and compact, but well looked after by excellent staff. Our slight criticism is that it could do with some refurbishment as much of the furniture and fittings are starting to look elderly. But this should not detract from the beautiful setting.
The pool-side restaurant serves an excellent selection of meals and drinks (particularly the fresh juices) and provides a convenient escape from beach hawkers. The spa in the hotel has exceptionally good masseuses, with v.v. cheap massages. And if you give a little bit of advance notice one of the people on reception will drive you anywhere on the island for a cheaper rate than the taxis.
I would gladly recommend this hotel for those wanting a balance between cost and luxury. It's not the most exclusive or best furnished, but is very nice without being over priced.
Unique small boutique hotel
A perfect example of a "boutique" hotel.
Small site but beautiful, lush, tropical garden setting. Thai style villas add to the atmosphere.
Villas are spacious. Bathroom OK - not luxurious. Good spot on beach. Elegant pool and patio area and restaurant overlooking the pool and beach.
My family had a great time in April 2002. Very family friendly attitude but hotel really geared for adults.
Very Nice
My girlfriend and I stayed at the White House from Jan 9-Jan 15 of 2005. We were pleasantly suprised with the hotel. The staff is excellent with good attitudes and very friendly. While we don't have children, we both noticed how nice the staff was to the children at the hotel. The toilet did block, but they moved us immediately to a new room.
The food at the restaurant is suprisingly very good.....enjoyed the Pad Thai and the Beef Salad.....
For what it is...a hotel....we were pleased.....
Stayed in jr. suite for 3 nights
Pros: Spacious, clean rooms. Located on fairly uncrowded beach outside main Chaweng area. Quick turnaround on laundry.
Cons: MANY. Prearranged airport transfer van did not meet us (3 couples)- had to have unrelated tour company obtain a van. No apology or explanation at check-in. Staff friendly for most part, but unable to meet requests and astonishing lack of communication: Some examples- Front desk manager told us he made restaurant reservation at another hotel, but unable to confim on said day- wasted over 1 hour trying to "find" reservation; Promised early breakfast for our party of 6 in order to attend marine tour, but AM staff begrudginly gave us only loaf of bread!; Arranged marine tour, but did not tell us only cash was acceptable means of payment until night before checkout; Forgot wake-up call. Overpriced hotel car service- true at most hotels, but had to use b/c taxis a bit difficult to obtain in this part of island. Bathrooms are outdated w/ poor water pressure, old fixtures. Hotel rate too high for quality of services received.
Recommend: Stay elsewhere.
A wonderful quiet retreat!
This hotel was the third of four hotels in Thailand for our Honeymoon. When we arrived we were quite unimpressed with it's location, we thought it was going to be a bit guest housy! That was until we were shown to our suite, it was lovely. A short (3 minute) walk to the gorgeous pool, and another 1 minute to the beach. The surroundings were perfect but it was the staff who made it for us, so friendly and helpful. We stayed for 11 nights and felt quite emotional when leaving, we could have stayed for longer!!

A little exploring on Koh Phangan
... to arrive at this beautiful spot in the north of the island. The main difference that struck me between Koh Samui and Koh Phanghan is the lack of commercialisation. The places we travelled through on Koh Phangan appeared to be much more traditional and relaxed that Koh Samui. The roads were much quieter and the scenery, both coastal and jungle, was breathtaking. Next stop, Koh Ma for some lunch and snorkelling. At Koh Ma a stray ...
Koh Samui
... It was like watching those weather channel documentaries, but the show was all around you. It is definitely in my top 10 moments ever.
The night life on Koh Samui is a little strange though, people don't really go out until about 2 in the morning. I don't understand why, but that's when things get started. There is a street in Chaweng beach with all of the bars and clubs, it's littered with prostitutes and lady boys. ...

I actually made something for myself! It's not as fun as making for Lara.
I took this huge red tee that Misha didn't want any more (made out of super-soft jersey!):
And pinned and sewed my way to (just the red part - I'm wearing it over a black shirt):
What do you think? I'm kind of really into it. It looks better in person than I could capture on camera. It's got kind of a Anthropologie sale rack feel to it. I might add some beads or something else to pile on the details. Here are some closeups:
The waist:
The top:
In the making of this I realized two things:
1. Sleeves are hard. That's why this has none.
2. I really could benefit from one of those duct tape dressmaker's forms, since it would mean not having to constantly keep putting on and taking off a shirt covered with pins. Plus of course, I could actually pin fabric without having to do it on myself backwards in the mirror.

Israelis join effort to find abducted Nigerian girls
A truck promotes the #BringBackOurGirls hash tag used by protesters of the 2014 Chibok kidnapping. (Wikimedia Commons)
Israeli anti-terrorism experts have joined the international effort to find the 223 schoolgirls abducted by Islamist militants in Nigeria.
The girls were kidnapped by Boko Haram fighters in Nigeria's northeast.
They were abducteed from their school dormitory in the town of Chibok, on April 14 four weeks ago.
Nigeria's President Goodluck Jonathan accepted an offer of help from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during a phone conversation on Sunday.
Mr Jonathan told Mr Netanyahu: "Nigeria would be pleased to have Israel's globally acknowledged anti-terrorism expertise deployed to support its ongoing operations."
Britain, the United States and France have already sent specialist teams and equipment to help Nigeria's military in the search concentrated in the remote northeast.
But Washington said US troops would stay out of any rescue mission.
France has called for African leaders to hold a summit focused on the issue.
During a visit to Azerbaijan's capital Baku, French President Francois Hollande said a summit on security in west Africa, could be held as early as this Saturday "if the countries agree".
He said: "I suggested, with Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan, a meeting of Nigeria's neighboring countries."
Nigeria's government has come under criticism for responding too slowly to the crisis.
Boko Haram, are known for attacking schools, churches, government installations and, increasingly, civilians since 2009.

Before & After
Cole Valley Remodel
You can see from the before photo this dining room was anything but inviting. The closet shelving was not a functional solution for the need to store dining ware and special occasion entertaining paraphenalia.
Extending the closet space and installing a period appropriate style hutch provides more organized storage and just looks so much prettier. Changing the muddy, murky colored walls to a fresh blush white gives the room a more attractive, rosy light. The modern chandelier expresses 'sparkle', creating a more festive yet casual dining atmosphere.

Cole Valley Remodel
The two color contrast (left photo) was distracting and made the entry feel disconnected from the hallway.
A less contrasting color design (right photo) embraces the volume of the tall ceilings and does not interrupt the eye, rather it leads the eye further into the space which feels more welcoming.

Cole Valley Remodel
Before the installation of the new master bath this was the only bathroom in this large flat. One of the challenges of this space was the lack of storage and area to provide for it.
Re-arranging the location of the tub/shower and toilet made a bit more room for a larger sink-vanity. The custom vanity has comparmentalized drawers instead of a single cabinet, providing a greater amount of storage with better organization.

Cole Valley Remodel
This tiny bathroom had undergone a few 'rennovations' since the early 1900's however not all that successfully as can be seen in the left photo.
The installation of more 'transitional' style fixtures along with a brighter color design makes this space more comfortable and feels larger than it is.
Have questions? Give us a call: 415-722-9124.
Cole Valley Remodel
The hallway was dark and a somewhat unfriendly ambiance from the lack of lighting and color balance. The addition of several other light fixtures with varied light direction along with a new paint in an eggshell finish creates more reflection of light and greater light spread. Keeping the entry door and window uncovered allows the beautiful outside view to be seen from the end of the hallway, connecting the exterior with the interior.

Cole Valley Kitchen
This kitchen, although originally very large it lacked organization and efficient storage. There was a lot of wasted space, the breakfast nook was not being used and no longer served any function necessary in modern day lifestyles. That area was enclosed for a new Master Bath.

Better organization of storage and space planning removed the need for shelving across the windows. Now the only natural light source in the kitchen can come through unobstructed.

Cole Valley Kitchen
There is nothing left to say about the previous condition of this kitchen...it was rather hidious (left photo). The floating stove, floating refrigerator and disconncted cabinetry was a poorly funcitoning working space with no useful storage.
All the appliances are now contained in beautiful cabinetry that emphasizes the efficient Galley style kitchen. The linear organization provides more surface area around the range. The under-cabinet electrical system provides cradles for mobile phones and tablets to recharge or look up recipes, keeping all electronics off the countertops and away from possible messy accidents.
Cole Valley Master Bath
The original plan for this flat had no closet for this bedroom. At some point someone installed a closet (left) however, the build & style were incongruous to the architecture and consumed more space than it gave towards storage.
The new design plan removed this add-on and reclaimed the space on the other side of the wall in the kitchen breakfast nook area (see drawing in the next slide). From the extra unused space in the kitchen a new walk-in closet was created as well as a master bath creating a new en-suite bedroom.
Have questions? Give us a call: 415-722-9124
Cole Valley Master Bath
This kitchen had an old fashioned layout with a breakfast nook that for modern day living has no use (left photo). This area was an easy design change to convert into a master bathroom off the adjacent bedroom (see drawing below).
Splitting the bedroom wall and moving a portion of it inwards into the bedroom and the other half inwards into the kitchen, relocating the kitchen entry from the hall and closing off the breakfast nook created a better organized kitchen space, a new large walk-in closet and a master bedroom en-suite. Previous to the design installation there was only one small bathroom for the two bedroom flat.
Have questions? Give us a call: 415-722-9124

This bedroom before had an unharmonious contrasting color scheme and a single light source. The new design includes the restoration of all the previously missing doorway moldings & capitols, a balanced color palette and installation of additional light sources.

Marin Remodel
As can be seen from the before photo, this space (and the rest of the house) was in need of better lighting as well as more appropriate finishes. The top newal on the stairway jutting into the ceiling was poor design and the style overall did not fit the otherwise modern space. A glass & brushed steel railing was installed, along with a more interesting color palette and an entire new lighting plan to properly illuminate the space and colors.
Marin Remodel
The dining room before was hardly inspirational to entertaining. With the use of warm colors, good lighting and drapery to soften the space it now is inviting to all.
Oakland Kitchen
The wall adjoining the dining room was removed to open up the space and allow for the fantastic view of oak trees growing out of the back deck area.
Oakland Kitchen
The inefficient free range was replaced by a cooktop and relocated to this area to provide better function. The previous location was installed with a double wall oven and pantry closet. A new larger window was installed to allow more natural light into the space and the shallow double sink was replaced with a single 12" deep sink for washing larger pots & pans.
Oakland Kitchen
This space was very closed in and the fluorescent "skylight" very unattractive as well as ineffective. We completely gutted and replaced everything. All new cabinetry, lighting, appliances and plumbing fixtures were installed. A new hardwood floor was installed throughout the lower level to the adjoining spaces.
Oakland Live/Work
This was a challenging space due to the lack of enough lighting and the extreme volume of the space. The concrete floors were stained a warm coffee brown and the walls painted in a sequentially dark to light cafe au lait color scheme. The extreme height of the ceiling was brought down a bit with the use of the wall mounted telescoping track lighting. This style of light fixture is excellent for lighting the art work as well as washing the walls to bring out the warmth of the color and give the entire space an inviting glow.
Pacifica Kitchen
This kitchen had no effective work space or storage. Though this wall faced west there was very little natural light coming into the space. By removing the existing window along with the upper cabinets we were able to allow a spectacular view to the ocean as well as provide more linear work space by extending the lower cabinets & counter. Having more window & view creates a feeling of the kitchen being larger than it is.
Pacifica Kitchen
Though we did not relocate the appliances (the structural layout would not permit this) we were able to create greater efficiency and aesthetic beauty by replacing all the appliances and cabinetry. Each unit around the range optimizes storage and organized access to necessary cooking utensils.
Pacifica Kitchen
Replacing the existing window for a larger "picture" window shows how a space can be transformed by allowing the outside to become part of the interior view.
We improve business and family relationships through better designed interior environments.

Deep Elm Records is an independent record label putting out albums by bands such as Lights & Motion, The Appleseed Cast, Brandtson, The White Octave, and Planes Mistaken for Stars. They have released a number of compilation album, such as The Emo Diaries.
Deep Elm Records originally started out in New York City, and according to founder John Szuch, was formed to help build and support the local music scene. Deep Elm's first release was the single "Anthemic Tune" by Curdlefur in 1995. Their first album was released by Camber in March 1997.[1]
In 2006 Deep Elm Records signed their first UK act Free Diamonds. As of 2008, Deep Elm stopped pressing physical CDs and vinyl, effectively becoming a digital only label.[1] The label has a promotion where they give away 99 songs free to every person.[2] Deep Elm is also highly active in the licensing of music to TV / Film / Commercials.[3]
The label has adamantly refused to be bought out by a larger company, and are currently located in Maui, Hawaii.[1]
Compilation albums[edit]
The label is known for releasing a number of compilation albums, including the This Is Indie Rock series.[1]
Between 1997 and 2007 the label released a series of twelve compilation albums titled The Emo Diaries. The series had an open submissions policy and featured mostly acts that were unsigned at the time of the albums' releases.[4] The Emo Diaries featured then-new and unreleased music by such notable acts as The Appleseed Cast, Brandtson, Further Seems Forever, Jimmy Eat World, Planes Mistaken for Stars, and Samiam.[5]
Deep Elm founder John Szuch claims that the original name for the series was intended to be The Indie Rock Diaries, but this was ruled out by the fact that the first volume included Jimmy Eat World and Samiam, who were both signed to major record labels.[4] The Emo Diaries was chosen because The Emotional Diaries was too long to fit on the album cover.[4] Despite the title, the bands featured in the series have a diversity of sounds that do not all necessarily fit into the emo style of rock music.[6] Andy Greenwald, in his book Nothing Feels Good: Punk Rock, Teenagers, and Emo, claims that the series "stake[s] a claim for emo as more a shared aesthetic than a genre":[4][5] The label is now famous for being one of the best homes for alternative postrock bands, sporting acts such as Lights & Motion, Moonlit Sailor, Athletics and Dorena.

I Was Madonna for a Day and Almost Got Arrested!
The news that some wack-job thought a photo he had was a rare shot of Marilyn Monroe hitchhiking nude, only to find out it's really that famous Madonna image from her Sex book reminds me of my own hot and sexy Madge moment. Way back in the '90s, right after that boobalicious book came out, I stood on a New Jersey street, completely naked except for a blond wig, fuck-me pumps, a cig, and a handbag, to simulate the now immortal hitchhiker pose. As photog Catherine McGann shot me—quickly—I almost froze my tucked nuts and prayed this bit of public humiliation would end soon so I could get back into male drag and enjoy the rewards of my momentary lapse of sanity. We were temporarily delayed when two cops pulled up to chastise me for this obscene display, but they relented the second we gave them a free peek at our copy of the Sex book! (It had sold out and was virtually impossible for mere mortals to get at this point.) And now, from the vaults of shamelessness, here is the raunchy result that ran in the very pages of the Voice as a testament to my balls and the way I can hide them. Maybe someone will buy it, thinking it's Marilyn?

Great rates on reliable lodgings in the heart of Jackson.
This well-priced lodge is popular in the winter with skiers, who can take the Jackson Hole shuttle from the front door to three ski resorts. In the summer it draws vacationers looking for a base for their national park visits---Grand Teton is 20 minutes away and Yellowstone just an hour. It sits right in Jackson, within walking distance to the town square and Teton County Fairgrounds. The lounge area offers a satisfying, western atmosphere with knotty pine paneling, a stone fireplace with a log mantle and lots of dark, rustic, woodsy hues. Décor in the guest rooms and condos is more in keeping with standard hotel rooms, although the pine furniture is a plus. Accommodations begin with studios with Murphy beds and range up to two-level, two-bedroom condos with fireplaces, full kitchens and private decks. The indoor pool area is beautiful. The 40-foot swimming pool sits beneath a cathedral ceiling of golden-colored wood. There are also two whirlpools, a sauna and sundeck. A small meeting room is available.
