Naomi's Single Family Home to a Duplex: Turning a Garage into an Apartment
House Call
Name: Naomi
Location: Portland, Oregon
Last year, my husband and I converted the two car garage of our '80s ranch home, into an apartment (an Accessory Dwelling Unit, or ADU, according to Porland zoning standards). With the help of our architect friend, we designed and built a beautiful, 1-bedroom, 360 SF apartment that we now call home. We love the space and the fact that we created it together from the shell of a former garage.
It is now a beautiful, modern living space modern with open plan, great daylight and highly energy efficient with many sustainable features. Highlights include re-used materials from Portland's Rebuilding Center; 11 inch thick insulated walls which maintain a comfortable temperature range year round; radiant heating under our concrete floor; solar panels; combination washer/dryer in one; and a barn door made from reclaimed old growth fir.
We replaced the driveway with a patio and garden so our home is now essentially a duplex, with two self contained units. We rent out the main house and were able to save enough money in our micro-home to allow us to spend 6 months living in Italy this year. We'd like to credit our friend, Asmund Tweto who helped with the design and construction, and his wife Jenny Tweto who helped capture the small space through beautiful photographs.
Thanks, Naomi!

Why do all the 320sq ft spaces on AT look and feel bigger than my 400sq ft space? It's not fair! BTW, Portland was my old stomping ground ( from 0 to 7yrs).
Perfect when can I move in? I am going to run away soon and Portland is the destination.
Very cool. We did something similar (family room rather than whole apartment), although it's not actually permit-able in our town. We had to leave the garage door on the front and the driveway intact, and then installed a non-load bearing wall behind the garage door to hide it from and insulate the room. The wall is easily removable should future residents want to take the garage back.
It turns out to be the best room in our house! Very climate controlled, light and airy.
Hello! What a great PDX ADU! I live in Portland as well and would like to do something similar with my two-car garage. Is there any way I can get in touch with Naomi to find out about the design resource (and possibly bring them some new business?). Thanks!
Great b-and-a in every way (especially the Italy part!) The space is light, lovely, and livable. Your kitchen is the best small-space kitchen I've every seen. Congratulations on achieving your dream life!
Great job! Did you have to extend the garage at all, or was this the size the space was originally?
Another great way to increase population density without increasing ground coverage.
Just curious, though: If you were to rent out your 360-square-foot duplex apartment, what do you figure it would fetch in Portland these days?
where did you get the sliding door and hardware?
This is wonderful (both the execution of the tiny apt and the idea of renting the main house)!
I absolutely love those sliding barn doors - I might be buying a home next year, but all I keep wanting is something so cozy like this!
The space is great! It remind me a lot of my 275sqft place only with more windows.
Hi neighbor! I live a block away and have watched your remodel progress. Fun to see the inside via apartment therapy.
This is how to do small!
This is so great. A lot of people would rent out the ADU, but not the main house. Awesome way to save money. One thing I really appreciate about Portland is the attention paid to planning and zoning regulations. This type of thing should be allowed in a lot more places (provided certain safety/livability standards are met). But it's a lot of work for cities to revise their regulations, and many haven't done it.
They could rent that out if it's close enough in toward downtown (inner SE or inner NE) at $500/mo to something like $750/mo! I wish I was joking :(
What a lovely space! I think a full tour is in order :)
Yeah I was going to say the new "garage" would rent for around $650 Inner SE or more if it has off street parking, in-unit washer/dryer. Allowing pets would increase the price even more.
Anyway...GREAT JOB! I love it.
So cute! And a great way to save some money. I love the little desk.
Wow, rent is cheap in Portland. This place would easily fetch $1100 in LA.
Well done! I am amazed how high the ceiling is.
It looks awesome, I would never think it's 320 sq. ft.
That is genius. It would be smart thing for someone to pay off their home early. OR say you have a basement convert it to an apartment live in it then rent out the upstairs would be good idea also.
Can anyone ID the make of that fridge? Love the small design with freezer on bottom.
Hi Naomi,
I also have a couple of ADUs in Portland. Love what you've done with your garage. Mine are both basement apartments and adorable. :)
Can I ask where you purchased your "barn" door hardware?
Thanks, Pamela
Beautiful, light touch on the decor. Just perfect.
great job! I wish our zoning were forward thinking enough for the ADUs. can I ask what you do that you can relocate for 6 months of the year - I think I feel a career change coming on. Kudos.
and i'd love to see a floor plan with dimensions. tx,
This is amazing.
@Mike_In_Hawaii It's likely because most spaces featured in articles and on websites are somewhat, if not entirely, staged.
Kinda fluffy piece without a little more details about the various costs and timeframes.
If I found this apartment for $1100 here in LA I would just die. I live in a $900 in a building that looks like a prison from the 60's!! Otherwise, what a beautiful place and amazing concept. Imagine how much vacationing people could do if they chose to live small from the beginning!!
Beautiful! And I love the landscaping in front of the house.
So while you are living in Italy, did you also rent out the micro-unit for additional income? Great idea and great space.
It's an LG Multi Airflow. 24" wide.
Hi folks! Thanks for checking out our home. We just saw this today when a coworker alerted me to the post. In response to some of the questions:
- Yes, we rented the ADU for six months while in Italy so had income from both units.
- Our friend/architect now works for www.nwcpdx.com.
- The barn door hardware is from Coastal Farm & Ranch (there are several locations in Portland).
- The fridge is an LG Multi Air Flow (24").
- For the Portland folks wanting to share additional ADU resources, feel free to reach out at email@example.com.
- And for our Sumner St. neighbor, stop by any time!
We love the space and the process and would be happy to swap more stories or tips.
I love this -- hope you do a full house tour on AT. And like others I love the whole idea of it - reduced square footage to save money and travel! Great idea. Also like others said, I would love to see a more complete breakdown of the renovation and more details, especially on the kitchen and the floor. Really well done, thanks for sharing!
ps If you ever do airbnb I would love to stay there!!
love what you have done. can you tell me about the desk stool? i have one like it and am trying to find out who the manufacturer / designer is/was.
Love it. Especially like the barn door, the cantilevered desk out of butcher block (I'm going to steal that idea!), and the integration of dining and kitchen. Outstanding and inspiring.
Amazing! Looks beautiful. I wouldn't ever leave my violin on display like that, it will destroy the frame and the strings!
Love love love this! Congratulations to you and your friends on a job well done! It's amazing how little space we need when it's done right. And living in Italy for six months? Absolutely amazing!
My husband and I live in a small apartment in Hong Kong and love the the ability to travel freely. Enjoy!
That is so great! Congrats.
Its very nice. Only thing I would have done differently is to add more storage above the kitchen cabinets. When you live in a small space..every nook counts and with a step ladder..that could be storage for items not utilized daily…and right now a place to acquire dust.
beautiful - well done!
(Are there no new small spaces to feature - this was posted just 6 months ago)
I want that bedroom rug.
lovely home!
What kind of concrete was used to achieve these floors with radiant heat? Was it pigmented concrete, polished? Dyed? How were the relief joints laid out? How deep? How thick is the slab?
I ask because this is the color and look I want to achieve with my new concrete floors but I do not know which of the many concrete options available will give me this result. Thanks.
I think the rents quoted above are incredibly low for those that are curious. I rent my basement 1 bd apt in the Cully neighborhood for $800...there is no way their converted garage would rent for $500! They would have to live in the boonies! Try $800-1000. This I know as I have only been off the rental market for a year.
Beautiful space by the way!
There is a small but growing trend in Britain which involves converting an outbuilding (workshop, garage etc) into a living space, and renting or selling the main home. Often older people, retired on fixed incomes, and the children become the occupiers of the larger main home, while the parents move into the smaller converted unit.
They have become known as IMBYs (= 'in my back yard') based on the other category known as NIMBYs (= 'Not in my back yard', which describes people who want a better road or rail link etc provided it does not affect their property!).
Beautiful space!
Where do you and your tenant park?
Nice place! I'm envious that you spend 6 months of the year in Italy. :-(
I love and admire everything about this. I have a family of 4 so this wouldn't work for us but every day I am working to reduce and live smaller. Thanks!
I'd love to see pics of the bathroom... found a floor plan online and it looks tiny!
Ha - $750 sounds like a deal where I live (Santa Cruz, CA). Here, that would go for $1400 easy.

UFC bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz has been out of action for the past two years and while he is still waiting to get cleared by the doctors, he has set his own goal of an early 2014 return.
"I'm just setting personal goals to be back," Cruz said, via MMAjunkie.com. "I'm looking to be back the beginning of next year is what it's looking like from what the doctors have told me, to that's my goal. Unfortunately, the doctor hasn't even released me, so I couldn't even make a date if I wanted to.
"It's like when you got knocked out and you get put on suspension. It's the same type of deal with this injury. There's a set time and stipulation with a knee injury that I've gone through, especially doubled. So I'm just listening to the doctor so I stay back and don't just come back."
Cruz has been dealing with multiple ACL surgeries throughout his 22 month absence.
In the meantime, the UFC has an interim title to keep the action in the promotion's bantamweight division moving.
Brazil's Renan Barao is the current interim champion and he is set to defend the belt at UFC 165 as the co-main event, while Jon Jones and Alexander Gustafsson face off in the main event of the night.

Puppy has also learned to clean up his toys (he's much neater than the kids), clear his dishes after he eats (ditto), and most recently how to "high-five." I frequently teach him new tricks and behaviors precisely because I think it's important for him to continue to learn throughout his life. Besides, it's really cute.

Why have you left us?
You used to care so much
That you camped out
On the moon,
Hoping to save us
From our inevitable conclusion.
We thought you couldn't save us,
But that didn't stop you.
Did you get tired
Of putting the pieces back together
Just to watch them crash back down?
You still had hope when
We abandoned it;
Now you abandoned us.
We are calling,
We are screaming,
We need you.
Can you hear us?
Lace up your boots
Fill your tank with oxygen
And take your place among the stars,
Your soul shining brighter
than all of them.
You are the Watcher
And it's up to you
To save us all.

Royal Scents
Prince George Alexander Louis isn't the only royal baby worthy of pomp and circumstance. While he might soon hold the keys to several castles and have access to the Crown Jewels, Vaara, the granddaughter of His Highness the Maharaja Gaj Singh II (former High Commissioner and member of Indian parliament), had a scent created and named in her honor. Developed, coincidentally enough, by British fragrance house Penhaligon's, Vaara captures perfumer Bertrand Duchaufour's olfactory experiences in Jodhpur (where His Highness ruled until his powers were abolished by the amendment to the Constitution of India in the seventies). This alluring blend captures the bustling markets, exotic flowers, and spices of the colorful city—opening with notes of quince, rosewater, and saffron. The floral heart is comprised of Moroccan Rose Absolute, Indian Magnolia, and iris (meant to represent the gardens of the Maharaja's summer palace), and a base of honey, musk, and sandalwood provides the heat. We think this exotic eau is fit for a princess—big or small.

Mid-length skirts, commonly known as midi skirts, are enjoying a fashion renaissance right now.
You might think of your second grade teacher when you consider skirts this length, but as you can see from the shot at your left, featured in Nordstrom's September catalog, it's come a long way since then -- and some of Hollywood's hottest young celebrities are rocking the look on a regular basis.
Still, you do have to be careful with this length -- if worn the wrong way, a midi skirt can look matronly, even on a supermodel.
Fortunately, I'm here to help!
Check out a few great ideas on how to make this look work, whether you're in your 20s, 30s, or 40s -- and see some affordable midi skirts you can score for yourself -- after the jump.
I love Saks Fifth Avenue's advice on how to wear this MARC by Marc Jacobs printed skirt. This particular skirt is more than $400, but these looks would work with any skirt of this length.
In your 20s, keep the look a little more eclectic, like the model in this Anthropologie shot. The bold crop top gives some unexpectedness to this gorgeous Sashed Sweater Skirt (Anthropologie, $148).
In your 30s, use up-to-the-minute accessories to keep your midi from looking too conservative. A leopard print scarf and unexpected shoes keep this 2-in-1 Sweater Dress (White House Black Market, $168) from being boring.
In your 40s, pair a bright skirt with a more conservative top for maximum impact. I'm loving how White House Black Market styled this Flowing Leopard Print Skirt ($88).
Will you dare to wear a midi skirt this fall?
Images (top to bottom): Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue, Anthropologie, White House Black Market, White House Black Market
I just bought one and plan to wear it with tights and heels or boots. I'm not sure what age has to do with it, though. I'm in my 40's and I'd wear all those looks, depending on the occasion. I swear, does the Stir not employ anyone over 35?? Forty ain't dead!
No, thank you! I'm way too short for this.
I love the way that length looks on my legs, and I love that I can sit down on the floor or bend over for my kids and not worry I am exposed. No having to pull my skirt down. It's all about finding the right way to style it like in this post. cute!
I'm with you Tiny Possum, I thought 40 was the new 30? I don't like all those looks but I don't see any of them as inappropriate for a woman over 40!
Maybe it's because I'm a 50-ish teacher, but all my skirts are knee-length or longer. It's just more comfortable and modest. Longer doesn't mean frumpier if you pair it with cute accessories.
And I thought 40 was the new 20, and 50 is the new 30!
Most of my skirts are this length, or knee length. They can look classy and sexy at the same time, especially with some high boots or a heels. Add a snug sweater or button down shirt...perfect.
Hello, 40s ladies, the last look was for YOU! Maybe you missed it b/c of your bifocals. I KEED I KEED. I'm only 3 1/2 years away! And besides, I heard your 40s are even better than your 30s, so I'm excited! :)
Heck yeah, I wear this length, and longer, skirts! It's all about how you style it.
no. do not have the height or build to pull this off. i go just above the knee or ankle length, no in between.

SEOmoz.org just published their "17 New Rules for Successful E-Commerce Websites" for your quick-study pleasure. Rand Fishkin, the post's author and SEOmoz chief executive, explains many of the same customer-centric fixes we've been preaching for years over here at Future Now.
With "moms, dads & grads" season in full swing, e-commerce sites can use all the bright ideas they can get–and these tips, if not all new, are timeless (I especially like #15… cracked me up).
Which of these techniques have you used? Did any of them improve conversion?
Its really surprising how many reputable sites break these simple unspoken rules that users ultimately create and enforce.
Robert – it's "Fishkin" rather than "Fishman"
Fixed it.
Grrr… That's embarrassing. I've been following your work for awhile. I guess it's the nickname that stuck, randfish.
Great article, btw.
i've used all at some point but practices change throughout time
Neat blog, some interesting details. I believe 8 of days ago, I have found a similar post. Does anyone know how to track future posts?
That's a great article. I can personally say that point 7 makes a real difference to conversions.
People love to see a discount/saving.
Another great article on Internet marketing and SEO. With all the home and small business beginning to make its way on line, I would suggest two solutions. One is to ensure you have a robust, dynamic web site and secondly you retain services of a professional SEO organization.

Bryson, 68, who has been in office since October, was found unconscious in his Lexus June 9, after the second of two collisions, police said. He had a seizure, according to his office. He took medical leave June 11.
In a letter to the agency today, he said he was resigning to prevent his situation from becoming a distraction to the agency.
Bryson's crashes put him in danger of felony charges, though word about having a seizure behind the wheel only came out after the story about the initial crash did.

He was expected to be back in six months, but after the results of the surgery were examined last week it was determined that it would be smarter to allow him more time to heal.
"I think what the physician wanted to see was how the healing was with the cranium where they took the piece of the skull away to do the procedure," head athletic trainer Rick Burkholder said. "He wasn't totally happy with it. He said he liked the healing, but he's concerned about some very small situations that (Patterson) can into in football, so right now he's going to hold off.
"We thought he would be ready because today is six months since the surgery, and he's not. That's just what happens with healing, everybody heals differently. We anticipate that he'll up fully and be back playing again, it's just not today."
It's not regarded as a career-threatening situation.
"I think we're all optimistic that he's going to play again, it's just not today," Burkholder said.
Added Patterson: "I have no doubt in my mind. At one point in time, I feel like I'll be out here."

The 8 Diet Mistakes Women Make Most
New York City nutritionist Stephanie Middleberg, R.D., has seen and heard some doozies from women trying to lose weight. Avoiding these diets that don't work can help you ditch the unwanted pounds, easy.

Skipping Meals or Snacks
Many women get extremely frustrated because they believe they're not eating that much and yet they cant seem to lose weight. The dirty little secret here is that, often, you have to eat more to lose more. I know it sounds wacky, but it works. The key is eating a small meal or snack roughly every four hours; this keeps your metabolism going strong and prevents you from rationalizing poor food choices because "you havent eaten all day." Not only that, but you'll have more energy since your blood sugar remains even throughout the day.

I am in similar situation and even though my parents like my boyfriend they still have problems with us being together in terms of the future..wish there was a support group for this stuff..its hard feeling like you are caught between your love for him and your love and respect for your family! April 1, 2011 at 3:08 am #5675 Unregistered I am in the same situation. We have also been together for about a year, so I was scared to have the conversation too. But the truth is that you don't want to spend too long in a relationship that isn't going to make it. So sit him down and have the talk. Would he be ok raising Jewish kids? Would you be ok if he wanted to raise Catholic kids? If you can't agree, it's sadly time to give up. Good luck! And for the record, my Catholic boyfriend and I are planning to pursue raising Jewish kids. April 7, 2011 at 3:15 am #5693 Unregistered I myself am on the other end, I am Catholic and my now ex is Jewish, we dated for 8 months the first time when religion got in the way. She knew I was willing to convert, be part of holidays and I would want to raise any children Jewish. After almost 2 very hard years of trying to be friends we got back together for 9 months and now religion has made it's way back. I really admire you for trying as true love for someone is rarely found and it's not worth giving up, I wish you and your boyriend the best of luck.

We have invited Rabbi Yosef Benarroch this week to share some thoughts with us. Rabbi Benarroch is the Rabbi of Midreshet Eshel in Jerusalem and lectures here at Berot Bat Ayin. Born in Tangiers, Morocco, he holds a degree in Education from the University of Manitoba, an M.S. in Jewish History from Tauro College and is a graduate of Mercaz Harav Yeshiva in Jerusalem. He was ordained as Rabbi by Machon Harry Fischel in Jerusalem. Rabbi Benarroch also served as the Rabbi for the Sephardic Community in Vancouver, Canada.
One Jewish Man-ish Yehudi
by Rabbi Yosef Benarroch

With Purim quickly approaching I want to dedicate my dvar Torah to insights in Megilat Esther. One of the most shocking statements in the Megilah is the annihilation edict of Haman to King Ahashverosh. In asking the King to wipe out the entire Jewish nation Haman says the following, "And Haman said to the King Ahashverosh, there is a nation who is scattered and dispersed amongst the people in all your provinces. Their laws are different from the other people and they do not even observe the Kings laws, therefore it is not befitting for the King to tolerate them. If it pleases the King let it be recorded that they be destroyed.... And the King responded, the money is given to you do as you please to this nation... And the letters (of the edict) were sent by the Kings messengers to destroy, to slay, and to exterminate all the Jews from young to old, woman and children, in one day on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month which is the month of Adar" (Book of Esther 3:8-13).
It is the introduction of Mordechai that will shed light on all of our questions. The Rabbis in the Midrash explain why Mordechai is introduced as a "Jewish Man (Ish Yehudi)". They state the following, "Why was he called a Jew (Yehudi)? Because he made the name of
G-d one before the people of the world therefore he was called Yihudi (one)".
(Esther Rabah)
It may be a cute play on words between the word Yehudi (Jew) and Yihudi (one), but to our Rabbis the message of Mordechai's name is a powerful one. He understood that the power of Jewish existence had to do with the number one and the unity it embodies. Morecai taught the world that there was one G-d and he taught the Jewish people that their salvation would be the result of their unity, their steadfast trust in one G-d and their ability to unite as one people. It is for this reason that when Esther acts, her first request is to "Go and gather all of Jewish people in the capital of Shushan and fast for me for three days... and Mordecai did everything as Esther requested (Book of Esther 4:17).
Perhaps we can better understand the words of Haman. He too understood that the power of the Jewish nation was in their unity. He understood that to destroy the Jewish nation he would need to destroy their unity. It is for this reason that he says to the King that they are scattered and dispersed. He was telling the King that they were not unified, not in their love for each other and not in their faith in G-d, and so victory could be achieved. It is also for this reason that Haman is so intent of annihilating the Jewish nation in ONE day.
The Sefat Emet explains that every Purim we must access the energy of unity that the holiday provides. He goes on to explain that all of the commandments of Purim reflect unity. When it comes to the reading of the Megilah the law stipulates that it should be done in public with as large a gathering as possible. So too we are required to send baskets of food to our friends and to give to the poor. These acts, explains the Sefat Emet, are in order to arouse within us the power of unity. We pray and read the Megilah together, we take care of the poor together, and we send gifts to one another.
Finally we are required to eat a festive meal together as the Book of Esther states, "And these days should be celebrated by every generation, and by every family, and by every province, and by every city, and these days of Purim should never cease amongst the Jews" (Book of Esther 9:28). Indeed the entire festival of Purim allows us to reach out in love and joy, as a united nation. Haman sought to destroy this and Mordechai knew how important it was to preserve.

How To Resolve Bad Service This Christmas? Be Nice!
by Staff Reporter on 14/12/12 at 7:00 am
No comments
Consumers who wish for a customer service revival for Christmas might like to go one better and lead the resurgence themselves.
The suggestion comes from leading customer service consultant Aki Kalliatakis, founder partner of The leadership LaunchPad, a firm frequently called in to revitalise service delivery.
He says one way to raise organisational performance is 'leading by doing' or 'walking the talk'. Behaviour is a powerful form of communication and setting the right example may prompt others to follow suit.
Channel the spirit of Gandhi
Senior managers don't have a monopoly on these techniques. Ordinary people can do something similar in the hope their behaviour will prompt service staff to lift their standards.
Kalliatakis notes: "Gandhi said 'be the change you want to see'.
"In the context of customer service this is a hint to consumers that they should not simply complain about lack of courtesy and consideration, they should show some themselves.
"So, play Santa this Christmas and give the gift of a smile and a courteous response, even to indifferent customer-facing staff members. In a small way you could prompt the thought that work can be more fulfilling and fun if we all play nice, not nasty."
Nasty has become trendy
Kalliatakis says one challenge facing service industries, including retailing, is that nasty has become trendy.
He explains: "Outrageous is 'in'. Rude TV personalities like Simon Cowell on American Idols and Gordon Ramsey on Hell's Kitchen are extremely popular. They don't seem to care about upsetting people.
"Unfortunately, destructive behaviour like this finds an echo in society at large and within service industries. It's cool to be aloof and indifferent.
"We need better role models, but mass media are unlikely to provide any in the near future. Nasty drives up the TV ratings. However, in service industries nasty drives down repeat business."
As the Christmas rush enters the final stages, a succession of long working weeks may wear down service personnel. Alternatively, temporary staff brought in to handle the extra workload may not have the knowledge or training to provide real consumer support.
Kalliatakis says experience over decades has shown that getting angry with these staff members rarely leads to significant improvement.
"Stressed, tired and unhelpful shop assistants are unlikely to raise their game after being snapped at by justifiably irate customers," he says.
"So let's turn the other cheek. Let's smile, not snarl. Maybe, just maybe, they will get the message that there is something to be said for being friendly and helpful and they should give it a try.
"Who knows? It just might work. We've tried everything else. Maybe it's time to adopt the Gandhi approach and be the change we want to see."

Link: SW Iowa News - Blues carnival returns to July 4th celebration.
The hunt is over for a carnival for the Logan Fourth of July celebration. After being without a major carnival for the event the past two years, the Logan Chamber of Commerce was contacted by Tom Thomas, owner of Blues Amusements, requesting to come back. According to Thomas, one of the reasons Blues Amusements decided not to return to Logan the past two years was it had been offered a larger carnival opportunity with a bigger community. They ran into many problems with this decision - too much money to drive further into the state, not enough drivers and the rising cost of fuel. Thomas told the Chamber Blues had made a business decision they now regret. The carnival will be back July 2-5. They will provide 10 carnival rides, 10 games and one food stand. As of this week, the 10 rides will be a Ferris wheel, berry-go-round, little tikes train, little kids motorcycles, bounce house, rock-o-plane, octopus, scrambler, glass house and swings. The rides are subject to change, but are pretty well set, said Nikki Allen, president of the Logan Chamber of Commerce. Wristband times and ticket prices will be announced at a later date. "We are very excited to have Blues Amusements back for our Fourth of July festivities," Allen said. "We would like to encourage the

Sarah Palin is coming back to Louisville.
The former Alaska governor and 2008 Republican Vice-Presidential candidate is scheduled to be the keynote speaker and conduct a question and answer session on September 16 at the National Quartet Convention at Freedom Hall.
"We are delighted to be able to present Governor Palin to our NQC attendees," said National Quartet Convention Executive Director Clarke Beasley in a statement. "She is an inspiration to so many, and she is doing many conferences throughout the nation where she focuses on what her Christian faith and her family means to her. Those are the type of topics she will address at the NQC. We are thrilled to host her."
Unlike an April appearance at Freedom Hall when Palin spoke at the Women of Joy Christian Women's conference, Beasley says members of the media will also be able to attend the event.
"Plans are being made to accommodate the members of the media who plan to attend. We will have a reserved area for them right behind the audio console. In that reserved area, media representatives will be able to position cameras on tripods and we will also supply a direct audio feed to them."
The news comes the same day as the announcement of Palin's daughter, Bristol, being named as a contestant on ABC's Dancing with the Stars. Bristol Palin is scheduled to appear in Louisville on September 8 at a benefit for a home for single mothers, the Lifehouse.

Congressman: Suspects had cache of explosives
Friday - 4/19/2013, 3:28pm EDT
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The senior Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee says the two Boston Marathon bombing suspects had collected pipe bombs, grenades and improvised explosive devices before they confronted police.Congressman Dutch Ruppersberger said that the brother who fled after a furious gunfight hurled some of the devices at police as he drove away in a stolen car.
The Maryland Democrat said, "They clearly amassed a small arsenal of explosives."
Ruppersberger, who was briefed by authorities,said U.S. law enforcement and intelligence officials plan to quickly pivot from their search for the surviving suspect to learn whether the brothers had any help or contact from terrorist groups inside or outside the U.S. Ruppersberger said authorities likely will ask Russian officials for evidence in Chechnya and other nearby Russian regions.
