An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
England after the Norman Conquest of England in 1066. This name was a name given to a person who takes chances or a gambler which is derived from the Old French word hasard, which means a game of dice, played by a gambler or one who was prepared to run risks. A broad and miscellaneous class of surnames, nickname surnames referred to a characteristic of the first person who used the name. They can describe the bearer's favored style of clothing, appearance, habits, or character. "The orthography was originally Hasssart, and the extinct dukes of Charante [Normandy] were of the same family." [1]CITATION[CLOSE]

Hazar Spelling Variations
Hazar Spelling Variations
Before the last few hundred years the English language had no fixed system of spelling rules. For that reason, spelling variations occurred commonly in Anglo Norman surnames. Over the years, many variations of the name Hazar were recorded, including Hazard, Hasard, Hassard and others.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
The unstable environment in England at this time caused numerous families to board ships and leave in search of opportunity and freedom from persecution abroad in places like Ireland, Australia, and particularly the New World. The voyage was extremely difficult, however, and only taken at great expense. The cramped conditions and unsanitary nature of the vessels caused many to arrive diseased and starving, not to mention destitute from the enormous cost. Still opportunity in the emerging nations of Canada and the United States was far greater than at home and many went on to make important contributions to the cultures of their adopted countries. An examination of many early immigration records reveals that people bearing the name Hazar arrived in North America very early: John and Joane Hazard settled in Virginia in 1618; two years before the "Mayflower"; Sarah Hazard settled in Virginia in 1654; Richard Hazard settled in Virginia in 1732.

Maple Leafs GM Brian Burke confirmed yesterday that Tyler Bozak, the University of Denver star centre, whom the Leafs signed to a two-year deal last week, will not play for the Leafs nor the AHL Marlies this season. Bozak, who just recently recovered from left knee surgery, will stick around Toronto for a time this spring and work out with Leafs skating coach Graeme Townshend and strength and conditioning coordinator Matt Nichol. He was introduced to the Toronto media on Saturday.
"I know for sure he's not 100% with the knee injury that he had in college," Leafs coach Ron Wilson said. "He came back (late this season) and probably played at 80%, I was told."
Wilson officially named
Wilson officially will be named coach of the U.S. 2010 Olympic team today. Burke is the team's GM. Wilson, who has dual Canadian-U.S. citizenship, coached the American team to a sixth-place finish at the 1998 Nagano Olympics, a team that embarrassed the American contingent at those Games when some of the players trashed their rooms in the Olympic village. Wilson also coached the American squad that won the 1996 World Cup of hockey.
Around the crease
The last three games of the regular season should provide an interesting finish for the Leafs, at least in terms of the goal-scoring race. Jason Blake is the club's lead scorer with 61 points (25 goals and 36 assists), but Alexei Ponikarovsky is just two points behind (23 goals and 36 assists) and has been on a tear of late. Ponikarovsky is playing on the team's hottest line of late, centred by Mikhail Grabovski, with Nikolai Kulemin on the right. Blake has been on a line centred by John Mitchell and with newcomer Christian Hanson on the other wing ... There are said to be five teams in the race to sign Boston University defenceman Matt Gilroy -- the Leafs, New York Rangers, Vancouver Canucks, New Jersey Devils and Nashville Predators. Teams can't sign the North Bellmore, N.Y., native until after the NCAA Frozen Four tournament, April 9-11 at the Verizon Center in Washington, D.C.

DIRECTIONS: PROCESS; Micro Engineering
By MICHAEL JOSEPH GROSS
Published: October 3, 2004
The creators of ''Team America'' (opening Oct. 15) took starmaking literally: they built the stars of their film from raw materials like Bondo, putty, silicone, synthetic and human hair, foam rubber and (in the case of Michael Moore's stomach) bubble wrap. The film, a satire directed by Trey Parker and Matt Stone (of ''South Park'') about an American police force that travels the world battling terrorism, was made entirely with puppets, many of whom play the parts of actual celebrities who get caught up in the fight. Here puppet makers and filmmakers discuss the construction of what they expect to be a few breakout marionettes. MICHAEL JOSEPH GROSS
Michael Moore
''It was really, really difficult to get him as fat as he is,'' Matt Stone said. ''A marionette won't function if it's too fat. So he's actually skinnier as a puppet than he is in real life.'' Even so, he wears overalls because ''otherwise his pants would fall down.''
The face made for the Fry Guy, a Parisian French fry vendor, was used again for the weapons inspector Hans Blix and for Mr. Moore. ''I took that foundation face for a heavyset man and I increased the fat layer in his cheeks and his neck,'' the puppet designer Norman Tempia said. ''And I found a nose that matched Michael Moore's silhouette. He has a distinct nose. It's got a nice curve in it and it's kind of pointy. It's different from his face. You'd think he'd have a heavier nose but he doesn't.''
Kim Jong Il
Kim is the shortest of marionettes, ''but he's got the same-size skull, like a little toddler head,'' said Charlie Chiodo, who built the puppets with his brothers Ed and Stephen. ''He's this mean little man. But this sad little man.''
Kim's jowels were so extreme that his face couldn't be articulated to achieve different expressions, so two heads were made -- ''a sad Kim Jong Il, and a happy Kim Jong Il,'' Mr. Chiodo said. ''His smiling face is very cute and adorable. It shows the two sides of the evil dictator.''
Alec Baldwin
''There are so many images of Alec Baldwin,'' Stephen Chiodo said. ''There's a young Alec Baldwin where he was more trim and chiseled, then there's the older Alec Baldwin who's a little rounder and more -- full.'' Mr. Tempia said that a ''heavy, but handsome'' Baldwin was chosen as the model.
''Male puppets have bigger pupils than female puppets,'' Ed Chiodo said. ''But Alec Baldwin's eyes are close together and tiny. So we took female eyes and put them in his skull, and all of a sudden, his eye shape looked a little squintier, and by squinting his eyelids,'' using tiny motors in the skull, ''we got the characteristic Baldwin sneer.''
The executive producer Scott Rudin ''was obsessed with Alec Baldwin,'' said Mr. Stone, and asked for at least four remakes. Why? ''I don't know. None of them look perfect. ... If you just assert, people will accept.'' When production was finished, another producer asked for an extra Baldwin head for Mr. Rudin. ''I put it on a nice wooden base with a glass bell jar on top,'' Mr. Tempia said. Mr. Rudin could not be reached for comment.

Vampires F.E.A.S.T. with Jim Jones
Jim Jones is inspired by his home of New York City now, more than ever. Sleepless nights, hustling 'til the sun comes up, even an iconic sample from Belly fuel the 18 track fang bang of his new mixtape, Vampire Life 2: F.E.A.S.T. (The Last Supper).

Now that we are deep into the lawn mowing season there is one practice that needs to be performed that most mower owners neglect. That is to sharpen or replace the mower blade and make sure it is balanced.
The type lawn you have and the quality of lawn you desire factor into your blade sharpening practices. If you desire a high quality St. Augustine grass lawn, your blade should be sharpened or replaced a minimum of two to three times during the mowing season. For high quality Bahia grass, which is courser and harder on mower blades, the blades should be sharpened and balanced twice as often.
How does a mower blade affect lawn quality? A dull mower blade will rip or shatter the leaf blade. This causes the cut end to brown, which over the course of a lawn causes a brown tint.
Another reason to maintain blade sharpness is to prevent disease. A smooth cut surface will heal faster than a jagged cut. The longer the cut is open the longer the window of opportunity for infection to set in. Most lawn diseases prefer cooler periods with dampness. This is at the end of the mowing season when most mower blades are dull.
If you are mowing an area with berms or slopes, blade balance is important. When these areas are mown with an unbalanced glade you will get scalping during part of the blade's rotation. The scalped areas will become brown as well as having the grass blade height be uneven.

APPLE is getting ready to hitch the iPhone to cars in a mobile marriage of convenience.
The ambitious project, called CarPlay, implants some of the iPhone's main applications in cars so drivers can control them with voice commands, a touch on the steering wheel or a swipe on a display screen in the dashboard.
It's expected to be available in the US in the coming months when Pioneer Electronics plans to release a software update for five car radios designed to work with the iPhone.
Alpine Electronics also is working on CarPlay-compatible radios for cars already on the road.
Honda, Hyundai, Mercedes-Benz, Volvo and Ferrari are among those expected to start selling car models with built-in CarPlay services this year.
Google is working with car makers to do something similar with smartphones running its Android operating system, but Apple appears to be further along in efforts to make it easier and safer to text, email, get directions, select music and, yes, even make calls while driving.
I recently checked out a test version of CarPlay in a van equipped with a Pioneer radio designed to work with the iPhone.
The demonstration through the streets of San Francisco convinced me that Apple is on the right track.
The CarPlay system is bound to appeal to iPhone fans who spend a lot of time behind the wheel. It makes less sense for iPhone owners who, like me, spend more of their time walking and using public transport instead of driving.
CarPlay's biggest drawback is the cost. If you want it in a car you already own, compatible radios from Pioneer sell for $US700 to $US1,400.
After factoring in other required parts and labor, figure on spending $US900 to $US1,000 just to get Pioneer's least-expensive CarPlay system in your vehicle.
That's more than the price of a new iPhone, but cheaper than buying a new car with CarPlay built in.
The key to CarPlay's success may hinge on Siri, the iPhone's digital personal assistant. Apple has been striving to make Siri smarter and more versatile, an endeavor that CarPlay figures to put to the test.
Siri serves as CarPlay's central nervous system, doing everything from taking email dictation, reading incoming text messages out load, and scrolling through the system for song requests or different genres of music.
Summoning Siri can be done by touching a button on the steering wheel or CarPlay's display screen.
While CarPlay also responds to touch, the system is at its best when Siri is doing most of the work. I got only a half-hour demo of CarPlay, too little time to determine whether Siri will be up to the job.
Within minutes of getting in the car, Siri couldn't retrieve the correct address for a requested restaurant in San Francisco. Instead, CarPlay listed several other places with the same name, so Siri apparently at least heard the request correctly.
The omission of the requested restaurant may have reflected shortcomings in Apple's database of local businesses.
Beyond that, Siri performed flawlessly reading back incoming texts, composing and sending emails and playing the role of disc jockey when asked to play the music of specific artists such as AC/DC.
It took only a few seconds before "Back in Black" blasted through the stereo.
Even a question about Arnold Schwarzenegger, a name that can be difficult to decipher, didn't stump Siri.
If Siri is able to consistently handle those kinds of challenges, then CarPlay could make the iPhone an even more indispensable mobile device.

Darius Powe had a top four with Michigan, Utah, UCLA and Oregon State on his list but recently Cal starting showing more interest in the Lakewood, Calif., wide receiver and things are picking up quite well.
Powe, a four-star prospect, was expected to have an in-home visit with Cal coaches on Thursday and then he's supposed to visit Berkeley on Dec. 9 when the Golden Bears are having a big recruiting weekend.
"They're showing more interest," Powe said. "They're talking to me again and I'm going up there in December.
Article Continues Below
"They'll be in my top five. I like the location and the offense a lot."
The 6-foot-2, 186-pound prospect has already taken an official visit to Oregon State and he liked it a lot especially because Lakewood teammate Malik Gilmore, a three-star wide receiver, has already committed there.
Powe said Gilmore's decision to play at Oregon State could influence him later on but he also wants to see what the other schools in his top five say throughout the remainder of his recruitment.
"It was good at Oregon State," Powe said. "I had fun. It was a nice community and stuff like that. I like that my friend is going there."
Other than his visit to Cal next weekend, Powe is also expected to visit Utah on Dec. 16. No other trips have been scheduled at this time but he would be open to taking other trips before making his pledge.
In his senior season, Powe finished with 33 receptions for 516 yards and eight touchdowns. Rivals.com rates the Lakewood standout No. 41 at wide receiver and No. 248 in the 2012 class.

The features in detail
16.3 MP APS-C X-Trans CMOS Sensor
Featuring the same internationally-acclaimed proprietary multi-award-winning 16.3 megapixel APS-C X-Trans CMOS Sensor as the Fuji X-Pro1 and Fuji X-E1. The Fuji X-M1 is equipped with a large APS-C X-Trans CMOS Sensor, which offers picture quality comparable to that of full-frame sensors. The sensor's unique colour filter array minimises moiré and chromatic aberration without the need for an optical low pass filter, while dramatically boosting resolving power even at identical pixel counts to deliver sharp and texture-rich pictures.
The design draws out the potential of high-performance lenses to the maximum. It delivers clear images with stunningly low noise even in low-light conditions at night and indoors, where high sensitivity would usually be required. The sensor faithfully reproduces the warm tones of human skin and the vivid colours of the sky from deep blues to the red hues of the setting sun.
Users can set the sensor sensitivity from the regular ISO200 to as high as ISO6400 in 1/3 step increments, and can even take advantage of the extended range of ISO12800 and ISO25600 to obtain incredibly clear and low-noise images even in low-light or at night.
EXR Processor II
The EXR Processor II boasts fast performance, offering stress-free photo capture with its:
- Start-up time of 0.5 seconds (*1)
- Shutter time lag of 0.05 seconds
- Maximum burst speed of 5.6 frames per second (max. 30 frames*2)
Intuitive layout with adjustable buttons and dials
Designed to enable one handed operation with intuitive and quick selection of functions for casual shooting with beautiful results. All of the adjustable buttons and dials are positioned on the right-hand side of the camera's rear LCD panel in pursuit of optimum operability and ease-of-use for casual shooting. When holding the camera with just your right hand, the placement of the buttons has been designed to allow you to access all functions and adjust the settings easily.
The Mode Dial allows you to select the optimum scene setting with access to the "Advanced SR Auto" function, which automatically recognises a scene type for fail-safe photography, and the "Advanced Filter" function for artistic photographic effects. The camera is equipped with two Command Dials, allowing users to adjust the aperture, shutter speed and exposure compensation quickly with their thumb. Individual buttons are also provided to access frequently-used functions such as White Balance, Burst Mode and Macro, so that you don't have to go to the menu screen for each change of setting, enabling an intuitive and quick operation.
Strong, retro design
Sporting a compact and lightweight body, with a cool, retro design inherited from the FUJIFILM X-Pro1 and X-E1. The X-M1 has a classical and elegant feel just like the popular FUJIFILM X-Pro1 and X-E1 cameras. And importantly, at about half the size of a regular SLR body (66.5mm high and 39.0mm deep), its compact and lightweight design means users can casually carry it in a bag without having to worry about the bulk. The X-M1 weighs just 330 grams(*3) despite incorporating a large APS-C CMOS sensor, a tiltable high-definition LCD monitor, a built-in flash, Wi-Fi and a hot shoe.
3.0" tiltable LCD screen
Featuring a 920,000 dot high definition tiltable 3-inch LCD for creative and multi-angle shots. The 3-inch high-definition LCD screen tilts up and down, facilitating ground level shots of flowers and pets, as well as high-up shots over a crowd of people. It is also suited to tripod-mounted video shooting to broaden your creative options.
FUJIFILM's Super i-Flash technology which regulates flash intensity according to the scene
The X-M1's high-precision built-in flash, rated at the equivalent of Guide Number 7 (*4), uses FUJIFILM's Super i-Flash technology to regulate the amount of light it fires dependent on the scene. In low-light indoor portrait shots or for close-ups of accessories / plates of food, the flash controls its output to reduce highlight blowout. It also provides the perfect fill-in flash when photographing people in backlit conditions or under intense sunlight casting strong shadows on the face.
Wireless image transfer allowing you to instantly transfer high quality images to a mobile device or computer
- The wireless image transfer function allows users to transfer their shots immediately to their smartphone or tablet PC. It broadens the enjoyment of photography through the easy uploading of your favourite images to social networking sites or just enabling you to share them with your friends.
- The camera has a built-in wireless image transfer function that uses the dedicated "FUJIFILM Camera App", available as a free download, to instantly transfer and save your favourite photos to a smartphone or tablet PC. Beautiful images of your choice can be transferred with the Wi-Fi button ready for uploading to SNS or sharing with friends.
- Users can also view and import pictures and videos to the camera from a smartphone or tablet PC. The function can also retrieve location data from your smartphone to add the information to pictures you take.
- Additionally a PC Autosave feature is available, via Wi-Fi® (*5), this provides a simple means to back up your photos to your home PC. Just install the free "FUJIFILM PC AutoSave" software onto your PC and select which folder you want the photos to back up to, and then by linking your Wi-Fi Router and the X-M1 you will have set up a very simple to use backup for your photos on your home PC. Both incredibly useful and a big timesaver!
Be creative with Art Filters and Film Simulation

The camera also offers a Multiple Exposure mode which allows you to superimpose a second exposure onto the first exposure for a truly creative touch.
Additionally, Fuji's Film Simulation modes feature five different effects that emulate the looks that used to be captured by different photographic films: i.e. Provia (standard) for natural colour reproduction, Velvia (vivid) for saturated tones, Astia (muted) for soft graduation, and Sepia and Black & White.
Full HD video recording
The FUJIFILM X-M1 is capable of full HD (1920x1080) video recording at 30 frames per second. Creative effects can be added when shooting videos with Film Simulation options including Monochrome and beautiful bokeh achieved with the large sensor at a large aperture.

- Fulfil at least one of the following employment criteria:
- In regular, permanent employment.
- Retired from regular employment - With a minimum age of 50.

Note: All applicants will be subject to a credit reference check by the lender.
Credit is subject to application and status. Warehouse Express Ltd trading as Wex Photographic act as credit broker and not the lender. Barclays Partner Finance act as the lender.
Can I repay early? If so how?
No repayments are scheduled in the initial six-month deferral period. However, it is possible to pay off the loan, either by way of a lump sum or in smaller amounts. If the loan is fully repaid within the six-month deferral period, then no interest is payable, but a £29.00 early-settlement will be incurred. Such repayments may be made to Barclays Partner Finance by cheque, debit card or standing order. Unfortunately it is not possible to set up a direct debit within the deferral period. Further information on how to make such repayments will be set out in the loan agreement pack provided by Barclays Partner Finance.
What happens if I don't repay within the first six months (deferral period)?
Following the six month deferral period, Barclays Partner Finance will initiate a monthly direct debit payment for the remaining duration of the loan. Interest will be charged at a rate of 19.9% APR on outstanding balances (backdated to the first date of the loan). Late payment penalties and early repayment charges will apply from this point. Barclays Partner Finance will send a reminder letter approximately one month before the six month deferral period is due to elapse. Note: If you chose to spread the cost and pay monthly, interest is charged from the start of the loan, not from the start of the repayment period.
What will I receive from the finance provider (lender)?
Barclays Partner Finance will send a loan agreement pack approximately four weeks after delivery of the goods, confirming that the account has been activated and, from this point, it is possible to make repayments against the loan.

: Betty P. Based on what you desribed (more serious?)what I have read, it does't seem like the symptoms are any more severe than Parkinson's. Did the neurologist actually say tthis condition is more severe than Pd? What type of symptoms does he have? The basal ganglia are abnormaal with Parkinson's and I found where it said if the basal ganglia are damaged the symptoms were the same as Parkinson'symptoms. Two of the sites for the DBS surgery are a part of the basal ganglia and they are the GP1 and STN sites. The STN surgery is what I am seeking. Take care. Bruce
Betty P. The only info I came across was that the disorders of the basal ganglia(extrapyramidal disorders) do not cause weakness or reflex changes;the hallmark is INVOLUNTARY MOVEMENT,resulting in excesses (HYPERKINESIA)or poverty (HYPOKINESIA)of movement, and changes in muscle tone and in posture. These symptoms are as those in Parkinson's Disease. Good luck, Betty D.

text: Posted August 4, 2013 · Report post This is now almost 10 months after I first began minocycline. It has been a rough ride coming off of this med. my derm and I tried a few different birth controls, but I got quite a lot of side effects from them and had to quit each time. This roller coaster of hormones reeked havoc on my skin so I ended up staying on the min for a few extra months. I came off of it two weeks ago and started the regimen. Before I started the regimen, I had breakouts on both sides of my mouth, probably about 15 on one side and 10 on the other. I thought to myself, why not try the regimen. One of my issues is that my husband and I want to get pregnant in the near future, so I had to research which acne treatments are safe to use while pregnant. Almost none of them are, except Bp. This made me decide to try the regimen. Very quickly I've noticed improvements. I went from about 8-10 whiteheads to on average of 2 or less. I have about 6 red spots in addition, but these are easier to cover up. I'm happy with this transition so far and hoping the regimen keeps me clearer for awhile. I likely won't post in this log anymore since it is turning into regimen posts. I wil be posting there instead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stores that were closed by an awning collapse reopened to customers Wednesday morning. The 100-foot long awning fell to the curb Tuesday afternoon trapping close to a dozen people inside several businesses.
"All of a sudden, you heard a scraping sound," which Michael Galamo says was followed by a huge crash. "We looked out and the whole roof was down."
Galamo was waiting to get a haircut at a business in the 2600 block of Market Street around 4:30 pm.
One woman described it as feeling like an earthquake. The huge chunk of concrete and brick blocked several businesses trapping that woman and ten other people inside a handful of businesses, none of which had a back exit door according to firefighters.
Market owner Maria Hernandez opened her market on schedule Wednesday morning - despite the large distraction in the parking lot forcing her to use a different door.
"If you close one day it's really gonna hurt your pocket," Hernandez said.
San Diego Fire Fighters used saws to cut through the overhang and get people out of the businesses.
"We're very fortunate that no one was under the overhang when it fell down." said Hicks who added that no one was hurt.
Fire spokesman Maurice Luque said the cause of the collapse is still undetermined. He said the collapse did not compromise the structural stability of the building. The building is not red tagged.
Business owners said they think they know what happened. "You know from the rain, it got heavy, got too wet," said Hernandez. "It wasn't supported enough to hold so much water coming through."
After firefighters left the scene, the cleanup continued into the night. The building's owner, Jerry Harris said the building is 20 years old. Harris said he's not sure the cost of the damage at this point, but will call his insurance company tomorrow.
"We're very happy no one was hurt," said Harris, "All this can be repaired, but if someone had been hurt, that would have been a real tragedy."

Sara Shahin Crowned as Egypt Queen of Beauty
Albawaba.com - Amman
Sara Shahin was crowned as Egypt's Beauty in "Miss Egypt 2001" contest, which took place at Khofo Hall of Cairo Conference Center. Sixteen girls reached the final competition stage after extremely difficult tests in many fields including general knowledge, international issues, languages and other aspects in addition to beauty and body measurements.
The title of the first lady in waiting was won by Salma Shahin and the second lady in waiting was won by Hibah Mandour. The queen, Sara Shahin, 18 years-old, will represent Egypt in the Miss World contest which will be held in Puerto Rico on May 11, 2001.
The jury committee consisted of the writer Mohammed Salmawi, Samia Elwiyyah, and a representative from the international Queens' of Beauty Organization. This is in addition to a number of art and beauty figures in Egypt and other countries including Miss Italy 1999, Manylana Terd, Miss Zimbabwe 2000 who ranked 10th in running for Miss World and Miss Lebanon 1999, and Norma Naoum. Among the other committee members were the Egyptian actor Mustafa Fahmi, Actress Mervat Amin, Plastic Surgery Specialist Mohammed Subhi and Karen Fahmi, Miss Egypt for 1998.
The ages of the girls who participated in the competition ranged between 18 and 28 years and all spoke both the English and French except one girl who also speaks Russian, her mother's native tongue. Most of the girls' were born under the astrological sign of Virgo.
The Italian singer Stella and the Egyptian French singer Omar Al Wakil hosted the festival. The competition was cancelled last year in solidarity with the Palestinian Intifada. The last winner of the title "Miss Egypt" was Angie Abdulla in 1999.

I'm looking for thoughts, opinions, hard facts, etc. on the best way to set up my home network. The house is relatively new and I have cat5 wiring in most rooms with home runs to a structured wire box in the basement. Have around 16 jacks there. I currently have a linksys BEFSR81 router/switch, a couple hubs and a Comcast cable modem down there. On the second floor, is a wireless access point, linksys WAP610N, plugged into one of the cat5 runs to the basement. For clients, I have four wired pc's one of which is a music server, couple Blu ray players, three iPhones, an iPad, and an iTouch. The house is two stories with a finished basement, ~5,000 total ft2, and wood construction. Right now, my wireless is spotty with it dropping out at times for no explainable reason (wired is fine at those times) and connecting new wireless devices takes several minutes where it shows a signal but doesn't connect to the Internet. I've read a lot of bad reviews on the WAP610 and wonder if that is my problem. My son says I should get a wireless router with a separate switch to handle the 16 wired ports and dump the WAP and BEFSR81. I have a great aversion to putting a wireless broadcast device in a basement being the lowest part of the house. Do I move the cable modem and new wireless router upstairs to the first floor and then run a line back down to the basement for the 16 port switch? Or just get a better/different WAP?
How would you set this up? Sorry for the long winded message.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Thanks, that is very helpful. To clarify, in your example would I get rid of the WAP and just use the E series as access points? Any suggestions on the model E series since they do get kinda pricey. Again, thanks.

A pair of Barrow County employees are suing the local government, saying officials retaliated against them after one accused former county commissioner Norma Jean Brown of using county equipment for personal and business gains.

Patricia Chapman, who was fired earlier this month from her job as planning director, and Darlene Hanson, a clerk in the planning department, filed the lawsuit Thursday in U.S. District Court in Gainesville. The suit names Barrow County, Commission Chairman Doug Garrison and Brown, who resigned from the commission last month to accept a job as the county's human resources director.
Brown, the lawsuit charges, used county property and resources for personal reasons and also for her job as a saleswoman with Hill Chemical Co. The then-commissioner used the county's license and permits office as a daycare facility for her daughter and also to laminate materials, make business calls and send faxes for her job with Hill Chemical, the lawsuit contends.
Hanson, according to the civil rights lawsuit, "has been threatened with suspension, received a written reprimand and has been subjected to a pattern of harassment because she spoke out on a matter of public concern" - Brown's alleged misuse of public facilities and resources. Chapman was "pressured to retaliate against Hanson on behalf of the county," the lawsuit charges.
"There's not really a whole lot I can say," Brown said Monday. "We deny there's been any wrongdoing. ... We're confident that we'll be vindicated."
Garrison offered a similar response.
"We certainly do not agree with their complaint that we violated any of their civil rights," Garrison said. "We believe this was a personnel matter."
Chapman, hired as the director of planning in June 2003, and Hanson, hired by the county in November 2002, are seeking unspecified monetary damages.
In early November, Hanson discovered Brown was using county property for her job Hill Chemical, according to the lawsuit. She complained to Sue Gallagher, then-director of the human resources department, who in turn notified Keith Lee, the county's chief of operations, according to the lawsuit.
Lee, Brown's first cousin, later went to Chapman and said the commissioner wanted Hanson fired "for reporting her activities," according to the lawsuit.
After months of wrangling in person and via written correspondence, both Chapman and Hanson were reprimanded. In the lawsuit, Chapman says she was reprimanded Dec. 6 by Lee and Garrison "in retaliation for her refusal to participate in their retaliatory actions against Hanson."
In a letter dated Feb. 17, Lee and Garrison advised Chapman she would be fired at the Feb. 22 commission meeting. Chapman was terminated in part because of "insubordination, and uncooperative attitude, disrespect to supervisors and a failure to follow the lawful request of your supervisors," according to a letter filed with the federal lawsuit.
Also, Garrison has ensured that Hanson's personnel file contains a paper trail "that can justify her eventual termination," according to the lawsuit. However, Garrison on Monday noted that Hanson is still employed with the county and denies that allegation.
"We're not putting any pressure on her in terms of trying to fire her," he said of Hanson.
Atlanta attorneys David Walbert and William Atkins, who are representing Chapman and Hanson, could not be reached for comment Monday. The county has not yet filed a response to the lawsuit, according to court records.

Caso Spelling Variations
Italian surnames come in far more variations than the names of most other nationalities. Regional traditions and dialects are a decisive factor in this characteristic. For example, northern names tend to end in "o", while southern in "i". Also important, but not unique to Italy, was the fact that before dictionaries and the printing press most scribes simply spelled words according to their sounds. The predictable result was an enormous number of spelling variations. The recorded spellings of Caso include Casa, Case, Dalla Casa, Dallacasa, Della Casa, Da Ca, Dacca, Da Cha, Dacha, Dalla Ca, Dallaca, Dalla Cha, Dallacha, Casella, Casello, Caselli, Casèl, Casiello, Casillo, Casetta, Casati, Casselli, Casetti, Casèt, Casina, Casine, Casino, Casini, Casola, Casolla, Casol, Casotti, Casone, Casoni, Cason, Casacchia, Casaccia, Casacci, Casassa, Casazza, Casabianca, Casablanca, Cabianca, Casabassa, Cabassa, Casabella, Cabella, Casabona, Cabona, Caboni, Casagrande, Casagrandi, Casamassima, Casanova, Canova, Casavecchia and many more.

[1]The head of British clothing retailer Next has elected to donate his entire annual bonus to the company's employees.
The bonus — £2.4 million, or $3,671,000 — will mean that each of the company's 19,400 employees will receive about a 1% of their pay, The Daily Telegraph reports[2].
In an email, CEO Lord Wolfson told employees that he wished to make a "gesture of thanks and appreciation from the company for the hard work and commitment you have given to Next over the past three years and through some very tough times."
The bonus comes about as a part of a share-matching plan that Wolfson began working under in 2010. The near-doubling of the company's shares since that time led the generous CEO to extend his good fortune to his workers.
"I remain very grateful for the way in which everyone has helped to navigate our business through this recession," Wolfson said.

BERKELEY, Calif. — The tight seven-man rotation that led the Arizona Wildcats to a school record 21-0 start is no longer, with the school confirming Sunday that forward Brandon Ashley will miss the rest of the season with a foot injury.
Ashley went down just two minutes into the Wildcats' 60-58 loss at California on Saturday, and UA coach Sean Miller said afterward it "looks to be broken." Tests and doctors confirmed Ashley's condition on Sunday, a UA spokesman said, though it was listed only as a "foot injury" on a release the school issued Sunday evening.
"While we're all disappointed, we are also aware that Brandon needs our support and positive energy surrounding him," Miller said in the statement. "Someone once told me, the hottest heat forges the strongest steel. This adversity will ultimately make Brandon and our team stronger moving forward."
Ashley averaged 11.5 points and 5.8 rebounds in 22 games for the Wildcats this season, and had been playing considerably better on both sides of the ball as a sophomore than as a freshman.
Part of the Wildcats' versatile frontcourt rotation, Ashley played both power forward and center for the Wildcats, and his loss could prompt Arizona both to go smaller and to ratchet up minutes to other key players.
It is Arizona's first real bout with adversity all season, with the Wildcats having lost center Kaleb Tarczewski for a pair of games with an ankle sprain suffered at Michigan in December but surviving everything else put in their way.
Of course, still full of confidence after sitting on the No. 1 ranking for a school-record eight weeks — a stint that will end today when Syracuse is expected to take over the throne — the Wildcats insisted Saturday they will be OK even though suspicions were immediate that Ashley would be lost for the long haul.
"It's going to be a tough hit," Tarczewski said. "He's a great player and he really brings a lot of different things to this team. But we have a lot of great players and we're really going to try to do the best we can without him to become a better team and stronger."
But it may not be easy to figure out how. UA has used only seven players in close-game situations all season, with guard Jordin Mayes occasionally being sprinkled in, and now there's just six key players.
The good news for UA is the Wildcats have spread out the work enough that none of them currently average more than 32 minutes a game. So it's possible they can stay effective up front by increasing the minutes of forward Rondae Hollis-Jefferson (23.5), Tarczewski (27.0) and possibly Matt Korcheck, who has played in only 10 games.
The Wildcats can also go smaller more often by increasing minutes to Gabe York (18.6). Meanwhile, Mayes (5.1) and Elliott Pitts, who has played in just eight games, will likely get a chance to earn a spot in the new rotation.
"Elliott, Jordin, getting another shooter on the court some, maybe a three-guard lineup, that's something we have to look at," Miller said about his options after the Cal game. "But the other thing is Rondae has played 23 minutes a game — he's capable. Gabe York has played around 18, and he's certainly capable.
"Kaleb played more (35 minutes against Cal) and that's going to be part of it too. No one on our team has played more than 32 minutes so we're now going to become a team where those guys are going to play more and probably go one guy deeper into our bench."
On Saturday, the Wildcats weren't quite ready to preview this new life, however. They basically just went with six guys.
Mayes didn't get in the game at all while Pitts and Korcheck totaled four minutes between them – and the healthy four starters were each leaned on for 35 minutes or more.
But the result of that first effort without Ashley, Miller found, was encouraging enough. Even if go-to guy Nick Johnson was 1 for 14 from the field, leading the Wildcats to 32.3 percent shooting overall.
"I think a lot of the things we're going to take away from (the Cal) game are positive: playing without one of the key players for us, doing it on the road …" Miller said. "Just like you're not going to win all 40 games as a team, you're not going to play great every night.
"So I think when you think about Nick having the game that he had and then Brandon getting hurt, you look at our shooting percentage and ask ourselves, 'How the world were we there at the end with a chance to win it?' I think that says a lot about some of the other guys, the heat and the togetherness that our team has."

Recently, I have been twittering under the name AccountingWEB as we build the readership to that web site. I have found over 1,000 professional accountants on Twitter, arguably the most cutting edge of the new social networking tools. You guys rock!
If you don't know Twitter, it's a messaging (they call it "micro blogging") web site that allows you to post messages of up to 140 characters. You can then "follow" others, meaning that their messages will appear in your account. My friends who don't know Twitter directly tease me that Twitter is about people saying what they had for breakfast. That's true. There are some people who talk about the little things in their lives, but you don't have to follow them. You can follow people who write about technical issues (e.g. tax and regulatory changes), people who are funny, people who are political, etc. If you like to hear about the ways the Big 4 auditing firms are shooting themselves in the foot, may I recommend ReTheAuditors? Francine is funny to read.
To people who say Twitter is a big waste of time, I say, it sure can be! Just like gathering around the coffee pot, you can spend as little or as much time there as you want. When you're new to it, you tend to spend more time, but then you get comfortable with following a certain group of people and you get into a rhythm of what you want to post and suddenly, it doesn't take up so much time.
Try it, you'll like it! And if you want to follow me, try http://twitter.com/energized or http://twitter.com/AccountingWEB

As the weather transitions from gloomy winter to sunny spring, we're on the lookout for new ways to wear our favorite frocks and adapt them to that in-between weather. Sure, one solution is to add or remove a jacket or sweater, but we're in the mood to get even more creative! Here are three of our favorite bloggers showing us how to put a unique spin on some darling Ruche dresses.
Alycia Grayce of Crowley Party looks way too cute our Dear Creatures sweater dress! To keep warm this winter, she layered this cozy frock with skinny pants and added black boots and a structured hat to tie the look together. Instead of styling this printed dress with busy jewelry, she completed her ensemble with a pop of color on her lips. We'll try transforming our dresses into tunics like Alycia Grayce next time the weather's too chilly for tights to cut it!
Sara of Swing the Day Away showed off this burnt peach dress in a lovely greenhouse setting! We love how she layered her look to add the polka dot collar and finished the outfit with a mint-green skinny belt, suede kitten heels, and a vintage-inspired necklace for an assortment of colors and textures. It may be time for us to revisit the monochrome dresses in our closets -- there are so many styling options for dresses without prints!
We love how Jessica of The Steele Maiden made this striped dress her own by layering it with a chambray shirt for an incredibly unique twist. After adding a classic braided belt, she accented her look with pops of color: a vintage scarf, a yellow clutch, and cute blue pumps. We can't wait to create a similar look with stripes of our own!
What's your favorite way to change up your dress styling? Do you have any creative layering tips for dresses?

It's Penelope Athena!
We got our first glimpse of 30 Rock star Tina Fey's new baby girl this week when the pair, along with dad Jeff Richmond and big sister Alice, 5, visited New York City's Botanical Gardens (October 10). What a cutie!
In her memoir Bossypants, published earlier this year, the funny mom writes about her decision to have another child:
I thought that raising an only child would be the norm in Manhattan, but my daughter is the only child in her class without a sibling. Most kids have at least two…. Who will be my daughter's family when my husband and I are dead from stress-induced cankers? She must have a sibling."
Tina and Jeff welcomed baby Penelope on August 10.

"Running the Rift" by Naomi Benaron; Algonquin Books ($24.95)
When a book wins an award for promoting social justice — in this case, the Bellwether Prize, established by writer Barbara Kingsolver — one might expect it to be heavy-handed or preachy.
"Running the Rift" is neither of those: it's a nuanced, complex portrait of people in a nation riven by conflict.
When a book is set during genocide — in this case, the Rwandan genocide of the 1990s — one might expect it to be irredeemably depressing.
"Running the Rift" is unsparing in its depiction of the hatred and violence, but doesn't let that crowd out the goodness of family and friendship and the power of hope.
The book isn't a war story; it's the story of a boy growing up in Africa, a boy who can run very fast, fast enough to dream of Olympic gold.
Jean Patrick Nkuba, the runner, is a Tutsi, a distinction that shouldn't matter but does. Because of who he is, his path is set in ways he can't control. Because people are focused on the distinction between Hutu and Tutsi, and are willing to kill because of it, his country is forever changed.
As a boy, Jean Patrick loses his father not to war, but to a car accident. He and his family leave their home at the school where his father taught to move in with an uncle, but because Jean Patrick is a skilled student as well as a gifted athlete, he is able to continue his schooling.
As he pursues higher education — and moves up the ladder of competitive track — he becomes more aware of the tenuous political situation in Rwanda. He watches with alarm as longstanding tensions flare between Tutsi and Hutu; he must tolerate the casual slur of "cockroach" applied to all Tutsi.
And he must make a difficult choice when an opportunity presents itself: should he take a Hutu ID card to ease his way?
"Running the Rift" does not spare readers the horrors of the violence in Rwanda, but never loses sight of the beauty — the love and, yes, the hope — that persists even amid such a desperate situation.

Researchers at the regional Fed bank acknowledged the importance of productivity and investment in the economic process but looked at some recent unconventional efforts to explain differences in national prosperity.
The St. Louis Fed drew on work by outside economists who studied 35 countries, including the United States, European nations, Japan, India and Turkey, and found that religion shed some useful light.
"In countries where large percentages of the population believe in hell, there seems to be less corruption and a higher standard of living," the St. Louis Fed said in its July quarterly review.
Most Israelis probably don't believe in hell, but have a very good economy, this goes for Germany -- well at least the Catholics can buy themselves out of Purgatory -- and some other countries that are prosperous but don't believe in hell.
There are many Muslim countries where the people believe in hell, but believe into a lot of garbage besides, which puts them way behind.
The Protestant ethnic had people believing that doing well was honoring Christ. This is a much better explanation -- besides of course realizing we have personal responsibility to God -- on why the United States is so prosperous at the moment.

Understanding the Bush Doctrine: Psychology and Strategy in an Age of Terrorism
(Routledge, 2007)
In Understanding the Bush Doctrine: Psychology and Strategy in the Age of Terrorism, leading scholars of U.S. foreign policy, international relations, and political psychology examine one of the most consequential and controversial statements of national security policy in contemporary American history. Unlike other books which focus only on unilateralism or preventive war, this volume provides a comprehensive framework with which to analyze the Bush Doctrine by identifying five central and interrelated elements of the doctrine—American preeminence, assertive realism, strategic stand-apart alliances, selective multilateralism, and democratic transformation. The essays in the volume examine the Doctrine in terms of these five key elements. Given its centrality to American national security, and the fact that the effects of it are likely to be felt well into the twenty-first century, Understanding the Bush Doctrine will provide a critically balanced and pointed assessment of the Bush Doctrine and its premises, as well as a fair appraisal of its implications and prospects. Stanley Renshon is a professor of political science at Lehman College and the Graduate Center and a certified psychoanalyst.

Roger has had some tough Christmases. When he was a little boy, his parents "were doing things they shouldn't," as he puts it. Eventually, county workers took Roger and his siblings from their home. Roger went into foster care when he was 11.
Then came a series of Christmases in foster homes and relatives' homes and group homes.
Two years ago, when he was 15, Roger was living in Holcomb House, a group home in St. Paul. He spent Christmas Eve lounging around with the other kids, watching videos. They had nothing else to do, and no one else to do it with.
The next day, Christmas Day, an adoption recruiter took Roger home to spend the day with her family. He had nowhere else to go.
An adoption recruiter is someone who looks for an adoptive home for a child. Most foster kids don't have an adoption recruiter. But Roger was part of a pilot program trying to find adoptive homes for teenagers.
He really wanted a family.
"It's just something I would really like," he said. "Somebody or someone to call mom or dad, and be able to go to them when I need help."
And he wanted a permanent home. He was tired of bouncing from place to place.
Roger said he wasn't particular about what kind of people the new family would be --- married or single, gay or straight.
"I'm really open," he said.
Roger's adoption recruiter, Jen Braun, said it's unusual for a teenager to be so sure about adoption. Most of the teenagers she works with don't know whether they want to be adopted --- and a lot of kids say no, at least initially.
"I think kids think of it as a huge risk, which it is for them," Braun said. "Can you imagine being them? I cannot imagine living through what the kids I work with have lived through, and still having faith in humanity. And still believing that a family might want them."
Most teenagers in foster care never get adopted. When they turn 18, most foster kids "age out" of the system. They're on their own. As a group, kids who age out don't tend to do very well. One study found that by the time they were 19, one in seven young people who'd aged out of foster care had been homeless.
So Jen Braun wanted Roger to have a permanent home. She found a family willing to adopt him. But Roger turned them down.
"It just wasn't a good connection," Roger said. "It wasn't really comfortable. It just didn't seem right."
Jen Braun says she always tells kids it's OK to say no to a family. She wants it to be a good fit. She tells them she'll keep looking.
And Roger held out faith that there would be another family for him.
But by the time he turned 16, he was still in the group home.
Roger was sent to Holcomb House because he was having angry outbursts. That's hard to imagine when you meet him. He's a soft-spoken, thoughtful guy.
"It's like he's been here forever."Jake, Roger's new cousin
Roger loves games and puzzles and the night sky. He knew the names of all the kinds of fish in the aquarium at the group home. He planted a garden on the grounds the summer he was 16 and tended it fondly.
He said he learned about gardening when he was growing up.
"I spent my time at one foster home most of the day during the summer weeding gardens," he said. "I have now come to love it, but then I didn't like it."
That same summer, he worked a garden at Jen Braun's house, too. He was spending a lot of time at her house.
Jen and her partner Joanie had offered to adopt Roger. And Roger had said yes.
"I'd already known Jen for awhile and we were really comfortable," he said. "We could have a conversation about anything, and it kind of seemed like, 'Why not?'"
Jen Braun says she and Joanie wanted to be parents, and there was something about Roger that said to her, "This is my kid."
So Roger started visiting Jen and Joanie at home.
"The first time I saw the house, the first thing I liked was the downstairs bathroom, which is pink," Roger said. "But now I like my bedroom. I painted my room Cheerful Morn and Manhattan Red. Every other wall is Cheerful Morn and Manhattan Red."
He showed the paint chips. He kept them in his room at Holcomb House.
In July of 2006, Jen Braun came by Roger's group home and helped pack up some of his stuff.
Roger's part of his shared dorm room was pretty well cleared out. But there was still a calendar on the wall. The day he was scheduled to leave was marked with bright colors and exclamation points and the words "move home forever!"
Roger was delighted that he would have two dogs, and that the family would travel. They had a trip to South Dakota planned. He wanted to see everything and do everything.
It was only July, but Roger was already looking forward to spending Christmas with Joanie's family again. This time he would be part of the family and not just a visitor.
Roger says when he went there two years ago with Jen, the family gave him a scarf and a Jenga game.
"It was fun," he said. "I really liked it. And afterwards I asked, 'Could I come back next year for Christmas?' and I guess I am going to."
That was 18 months ago. Last Christmas, Roger gave Joanie a mug with a hen on it and the word "Mother." He got games and candy and a planetarium.
The day after Christmas, he played Apples to Apples with his new cousins, Jake and Leah.
Jake said it was as though Roger had always been part of the family.
"It's like he's been here forever," Jake said. "He doesn't seem new anymore."
Sometimes teen adoptions don't work out. But it seems that for Roger, the last year and a half has gone remarkably smoothly.
Since he moved in with Jen and Joanie, he's gone to zoo camp and cooking classes -- and to prom. He's doing well in school. He likes hanging out with his new cousins and aunts and uncles.
Two weeks ago, some of them came over for a Wizard of Oz theme party.
A Christmas tree glittered in one corner of the living room. In the dining room, 17 people crowded around the table. One aunt was dressed as Dorothy. One uncle, for some reason, wore a chicken outfit.
The party was partly in celebration of Dexter the dog's 13th birthday. Dexter wore a nametag that said Toto for the occasion.
Roger was dressed as the tin man. Roger's 4-year-old cousin Henry was the cowardly lion. Asked about Roger, he said,
"Mmmm. He's a pretty good cousin."
And what makes Roger a good cousin?
"He's really tall?" Henry gestured to show how high Roger stands.
Roger is the tallest cousin. And the oldest. He's 17 now.
Roger says sometimes he and Jen and Joanie joke that they've always been together.
Joanie and Jen often say they wish that were true. They wish they could have protected Roger from what he went through before they knew him. Joanie says they wish they could have known him then.
"I was massaging his feet one day, and they're these big size -- whatever," Joanie says.
"Eleven," Roger puts in.
"Size 11s," Joanie says. "And it was one of those moments where I was imagining him as a tiny baby with feet that are two inches long, and how I wished I would have been able to squeeze his feet."
But they are glad for the time they have now. Roger starts college in a year, but he doesn't want to move out then, and his parents don't want him to.
"It seems like he just got home," Joanie says.
Roger says this time of year still stirs up memories for him. His biological mother was born on Christmas, and he thinks about her.
But mostly he's excited. He'll visit Jen and Joanie's families again this year.
And on Christmas Eve, Roger and Jen and Joanie will make the meal they made last year -- stuffed pork chops and mashed potatoes and pistachio pudding.
It's a tradition in their family.

The studio calls this a Red Band Trailer, but honestly, I don't see why. The alien kills a couple of people in the minute-long spot, but I've seen scarier/bloodier deaths in an episode of "The Simpsons". Overall, this thing looks pretty PG-13 to me. The film isn't rated yet, but I wouldn't be surprise if it did end up with the teen-friendly PG-13. That would be disappointing, but entirely predictable. Update: Apparently it is indeed R-rated. Still looks tame to me.
Antarctica: an extraordinary continent of awesome beauty. It is also home to an isolated outpost where a discovery full of scientific possibility becomes a mission of survival when an alien is unearthed by a crew of international scientists. The shape-shifting creature, accidentally unleashed at this marooned colony, has the ability to turn itself into a perfect replica of any living being. It can look just like you or me, but inside, it remains inhuman. In the thriller The Thing, paranoia spreads like an epidemic among a group of researchers as they're infected, one by one, by a mystery from another planet. Paleontologist Kate Lloyd (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) has traveled to the desolate region for the expedition of her lifetime. Joining a Norwegian scientific team that has stumbled across an extraterrestrial ship buried in the ice, she discovers an organism that seems to have died in the crash eons ago. But it is about to wake up. When a simple experiment frees the alien from its frozen prison, Kate must join the crew's pilot, Carter (Joel Edgerton), to keep it from killing them off one at a time. And in this vast, intense land, a parasite that can mimic anything it touches will pit human against human as it tries to survive and flourish.
Starring Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Eric Christian Olsen, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Joel Edgerton, Ulrich Thomsen, Kim Bubbs, Stig Henrik Hoff, Trond Espen Seim, Jørgen Langhelle, Kristofer Hivju, Jan Gunnar Røise, Jo Adrian Haavind and directed by Matthijs van Heijningen Jr.

The NFL's medical committee is discussing giving players echocardiograms in the wake of Chicago Bears defensive end Gaines Adams' death this month.
Adams died of an enlarged heart, something an echocardiogram can detect. NFL teams already give extensive physicals to players. Stress testing and echocardiograms are conducted when the results of the physical, an EKG and family history indicate the need.
NFL medical people and outside experts who sit on the league's cardiovascular health committee previously have discussed making echocardiograms standard. They're doing so again, pending the final pathologists' report on Adams.
A person familiar with the negotiations says slugger Jim Thome and the Minnesota Twins have agreed to a one-year, $1.5 million contract.
The person requested anonymity Tuesday because the team was not ready to make the announcement. Thome's contract also includes bonuses.
The 39-year-old Thome will likely be more of a bench player for the Twins than the middle-of-the-lineup force he's been for 19 seasons on his way to 564 career home runs.
Thome was traded by the White Sox to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Aug. 31. He was interested in returning to Chicago, but White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen recently told Thome he wouldn't get enough at-bats to justify a return.
l NEW YORK - Nuggets forward Kenyon Martin has been fined $35,000 for being ejected from Denver's game against Charlotte.
l WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. - Bode Miller will trade his skis for a tennis racket after the Olympics and World Cup season. Miller will attempt to qualify for the U.S. Open through a new national playoff system announced Tuesday by the U.S. Tennis Association that allows tennis aficionados around the country to compete for a spot in the Grand Slam. The winner of the men's and women's championship will receive a wild-card entry into the U.S. Open qualifying tournament.

Embracing the Blue
Our client had two requests: make a collage wall to celebrate her 19 grandkids and make her blue antique couches work.
Here's the result. We loved how everything turned out. Adding the light colors and pops of coral and yellow make such a difference in the room.

A Pop of Color
We just finished up a beautiful office redesign for our neighborhood elementary school. The secretaries needed a change from the dark walls and accents. Enter this beautiful, white console and bright art piece. Both were the inspiration pieces for the rest of the space. We loved how the accessories came together for the console. It is such a great presence in the room.
This little table sits right outside the office and needed some attention. We added darling ruler ribbon to the greenery to add just a hint of "school" to the grouping.
The upper cabinet grouping turned out beautifully. We didn't want to overdo it with too many school-type accessories, so we just added hints here and there.
This gallery wall was our favorite touch. Each print has an inspirational/positive quote. It is the perfect message to share with all those impressionable school children. Plus, it gives the secretaries inspiration all day as they work with our children. Hope you love it as much as we do!

Boundless in Bloom
Spent the day creating this little grouping in Khloe's room. When I saw this art piece, I knew it was the perfect way to transition Khloe's room. I love the message of hope and wonderment. Plus, the colors complement her bedroom perfectly. I re-purposed the "K" from another spot in her room, added the darling sayings from Hobby Lobby's art section, included the scalloped trays, and ornate mirror to finish off the collage. Would you believe the scalloped trays are candle holders from Ikea? I've wanted to find a use for them for a while now. I'm so glad it's in my baby girl's room. The mirror was originally black, so I just spray painted it white. It felt so good to design, shop, and create today! It was all worth it when Khloe walked in and said, "Oh Mom, I love it! It is just darling." I am raising her right. (She appreciates all things design without any prodding from her mom,) What a great day and little makeover!

Adding Drama
There are so many beautiful accessories right now in the gold and brass tones. I love how they all came together in my front room.
I've had these picture frames for years. I love that they have the brass inlay, so they still work perfectly in the space. This sunburst mirror is one of my favorites and is the perfect glint of sparkle on this stair wall.
The room has high vaulted ceilings, so I needed a mirror that would take your eye up. I found this gem at IKEA. I really wanted bookshelves, but didn't have the space. So instead, I used two sets of floating shelves to achieve the same feel. Now this wall is a statement and adds such sparkle to the space.
I love the accessories on the shelves. I had collected most of them as I shopped for other clients. The only thing I had to purchase to finish the room was the boxwood wreath.
I have a massive front room window, so I needed 7 yards of fabric and lining for the drapes. When I found this great geometric for $7/yd, I knew I had a winner. I absolutely love the soft yellow color in the room.
Here's a close-up of the fabric.
When I saw this beautiful gold calligraphy of "Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing," I knew it was the perfect finishing touch for the room. It is my absolute favorite hymn and the perfect words to see as I enter and leave my home.

Parker's Home
We just finished up another design job for a client. Here is his space before:
And here it is after the Trio Design Team touch! We love what accessories can do in transforming a space.

Young Thug "1017 Thug 2" Mixtape
Young Thug continues to have a lot of fun confusing people about his label affiliations.
Young Thug dropped his latest track "1017 Lifestyle" yesterday (not to be confused with Rich Gang's track featuring Young Thug, "Lifestyle"). Clearly, he's continuing to have a lot of fun confusing people about his label affiliations (including us). But on his latest tape uploaded by Gucci Mane 1017 Thug 2 Thugga is clearly reppin' 1017 Brick Squad.
Unfortunately the tape is about as slap-dash as it's terrible cover (which FACT have pointed out is actually a poorly-photoshopped image of Wiz Khalifa). A mixture of failed attempts at being menacing like "Let Up", terrible Soundcloud rap ballads like "Oh Yah" and "Strange Things" and C4-produced should-be bangers that just don't slap like they really should (see: "Trigger Finger"). The crucial thing is that Thugga is willing to work, and his output is pretty much unbeaten at the moment (except of course for TheBasedGod) but perhaps he has outgrown his 1017 affiliations and should try working more with YMCMB and Grand Hustle.
And here's some classic Thugga for the true fans:


text: Yesterday I spent from like 10 am till 4 pm sewing blocks together at a church function they were nine patch blocks that we had people design who stopped at our booth. the blocks when sewn together were going to be around 7 1/2" I ended up sewing like 28 of them and have probably another dozen more to go. enough for propbaly three throw sized quilts with sashing.
