Savings Guide
Making eco-friendly luxurious
There are two misconceptions that frequently complicate the common wisdom on environmental issues and an eco-friendly life. One, there is an assumption that the larger the corporation or government, the less likely it is to have any concerns about the environment and how current policy will affect the future state of the world – in fact, this misconception often goes so far as to assume hostility or evil intent on the part of larger companies and governments. Two, many people believe that in order for something to be environmentally friendly or 'green' it must be, in a word, ugly.
Energy Efficient and Beautiful
A refutation to both of these misconceptions can be found, conveniently enough, in a single location these days: The Coronation Festival held in Buckingham Palace in London. The Festival, hosted by The Royal Warrant Holders Association, celebrates craftsmanship and British industry, and is clear evidence that eco-friendly need not be ugly, and that governments do support the Green Movement beyond exhorting their citizens to buy energy saving products and perhaps plug in an EcoSwitch or two.
Permission to use the Queen's, Duke of Edinburgh's, or the Prince of Wales' Coat of Arms (the royal warrant) is held by about 700 companies, with each warrant lasting 5 years. The Prince of Wales (Prince Charles, heir to the throne) has required that applicants for a Warrant demonstrate environmental sustainability and awareness for years, and recently the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh have adopted similar requirements. This means that within five years every company sporting a royal warrant will have met these minimum 'green' requirements for sustainability, energy savings, and recycled materials as applicable. This is clear evidence of a government using the simple power of its patronage to effect real change, as the royal warrant remains a highly desirable mark that companies will alter their practices to qualify for.
Sustainable Beauty
Just as important is the refutation of the concept that eco-friendly equals ugly or bland. Towards that point, designers Anna Burles and Jessica Gibbons have created the 'Castle on the Loch' bedroom fantasy on display at the festival to showcase their environmentally-friendly design. The gorgeous room is composed of furniture, materials, and decorations that are all qualified as sustainable, recyclable, or long-lasting in order to reduce waste. The amazing installation is a clear example of how a simple requirement by the British Royal Family can easily transform an entire industry – home decoration and design – and by extension all the vendors and suppliers that are associated with that industry. What high-end designer wouldn't want a royal warrant on their work – or at least be able to honestly state they would qualify for one?
And the room is, from a design perspective, a smashing success. One easy solution the designers found for qualifying for the warrant was to simply use locally-sourced materials. By eliminating the energy-intensive and inefficient trucking and shipping of exotic materials, all materials become more sustainable by several orders of magnitude, and locally sourcing resources also allows for a better ability to judge sustainable practices by vendors and suppliers.
Local vendors are also part of the secret. The comfortable and stylish bedroom used all manner of local craftsmen for its creation, ranging from brass chains forged by warrant holders Abbey England, Britain's last buckle foundry, and hand-bound journals created by bookbinders Barnard and Westwood. The bookbinding firm asserts that the paper in its books is made from local managed forests for total sustainability, and boasts that 90% of their waste products are in fact recycled.
The end result of such efforts is a stunning bedroom that even a Prince – or a future King – would feel comfortable in, all created without the dreaded cost of irreplaceable resources or irreparable damage to the environment from pollution.
The next step is for these practices and techniques to filter downward until your normal, everyday person can afford to hire an Eco-Friendly design firm (royal warrant optional) to work up their home bedrooms. That's a process that will be handled in the ancient way: Pure economics of supply and demand. As people see this bedroom, they will want it in their own homes – and designers will have no choice but to figure out how to supply it!

Well shit, I just labored over a beautiful blog post that elegantly wove a fabric of transition, vulnerability and honest self-exposure… And now it's gone.
Chalk up one more point for disastrous SE Asian internets and +1 for impermanence lessons.
Now dear reader instead of being treated to my self-proclaimed magnum opus of a blog post you'll have to settle for the
quick and dirty version. It is this:
I've resisted it for months, hidden behind a veil of silence and ultimately accepted the course of reality. I am no longer producing "just-another" travel blog, I'm now owning and celebrating the reality of what this blog really is: a New Age Travel Blog.
Particularly recently–but honestly the entirety of my journey–is one of spirituality and healing (plus a hearty dose of playfulness). I've been resisting acknowledging this fact, tip-toeing around it, avoiding blatantly "new agey" topics and generally just trying my damnedest to toe-the-line between "on the level" & "outer space"… but as every good trekkie will tell you "resistance [to the reality of my path of self-discovery] is futile…
'Til now I've been too self-conscious about owning up to the monikers and stereotypes associated with this journey however they're all true: I'm following my path, meditating for inner peace, on a spiritual quest, in the midst of existential crisis, having a career break, finding myself, traveling SE Asia to "do my spiritual thing," I'm out to lunch, departed from the world of the sane, etc. etc. etc.*
Of course these labels all bely my own insecurities. These labels and cliches are what I've been terrified of for so long… but you know what? Fearing them and actively avoiding being associated with "new agey-ness" has only empowered those fears and created internal self-destructive & counter-productive judgements about what I am doing. So here's the reality and here's the secret to my whole approach:
I'm following my bliss!
and ya know what? It feels damn good 😉
I've become a reiki practitioner, smudged spooky hotel rooms, communed with the spirits, meditated with monks, endured abdominal detox massages (OUCH!), received energy healings, contorted myself to the point of injury in yoga classes, let Tibetan singing bowls ring through my cranium, prayed to Buddha at countless temples, lit incense to carry my intentions to the heavens, initiated a relationship with my Guardian Angel, shifted my thoughts into Wordlessness, and am contemplating undergoing a past-life regression. I'm trying to at least, ha.
Yes, by contemporary Western standards I've lost it. I've detached from reality, I've gone off the deep end. But here's the upside: stepping away from the rat race, slowing down my thoughts, listening to my body, pursuing what feels good–not in the ego-driven hedonistic & materialistic Western sense–has enabled me to feel more secure in my skin and more vibrantly alive than ever before. Furthermore my current "lunacy" has facilitated greater true contentment and enduring happiness than any blockbuster movies, prestigious jobs, spendy handbags or weekly therapy sessions ever have. It's great & heartily recommend stepping off the conveyor belt of 24/7/365, type-A, work-is-life lifestyle.
So go head and write me off as a new age spiritual freak. Call me a hocus-Pocus bitch or a hippy gone off the deep end. I'd greatly prefer if you didn't call me those names but frankly, I don't care that much (and it certainly doesn't bother me nearly as much as it used to). I'm exploring my own path and that's really what this blog has always been about–now I'm prepared to embrace LiveRightTravelFar for what it is: My new age travel blog featuring writings and revelations on the full spectrum of internal and external journeying.
I hope you'll stick around for this journey. I hope you'll join me in laughing at the stereotypes and share with me you own efforts to break through whatever paradigms, dualities and realities cause suffering in your life. That's the whole point of living right: living your honest truth.
Love and bless.
*(for god's sake, please don't tell me I'm "doing the Eat, Pray, Love thing… Any of the rest I can stomach. No Julia Roberts comparisons I beg you.)

Thai Beverage (ThaiBev), which has the Chang beer and Oishi green tea brands in its stable and is owned by Thai billionaire Charoen Sirivadhanabhakdi, and Singha Corp., which has Shingha beer, are both looking to buy a stake in the Saigon Beer Alcohol Beverage Corp. (Sabeco), with any deal set to cost ThaiBev nearly $1 billion.
ThaiBev wants to buy 40 per cent of Sabeco and has offered to pay as much as VND80,000 ($3.76) a share, a premium of about 60 per cent on its over-the-counter price, the Wall Street Journal reported a senior official in the Ministry of Industry and Trade as saying. This price puts Sabeco's value at roughly $2.4 billion. The government currently owns 89 per cent of the company. According to market research firm Euromonitor, Sabeco controlled 46 per cent of Vietnam's beer market as at 2013. The official also said that Singha Corp. has expressed interest in buying a stake in Sabeco but provided no further details on what price it may offer. According to Sabeco's Chairman Phan Dang Tuat, any plans to sell the government's stake would be up to the State, adding that if ThaiBev bought a 40 per cent stake it would breach existing foreign investor limits of 25 per cent on State assets.
Vietnam is now an attractive market for foreign investors due to the growth prospects in its beer market. Euromonitor data shows that beer volume in Thailand was estimated at 1.93 billion liters last year, down from 1.97 billion liters in 2013. In Vietnam, volumes increased 8 per cent last year to 3.2 billion, according to the Ministry of Industry and Trade. Euromonitor forecast that beer volumes in Vietnam would grow 9 per cent this year, to 3.88 billion, while it expects Thai volumes to fall to 1.89 billion liters this year.
The Vietnamese Government had previously planned to sell its stake in Sabeco to strategic foreign investors, but this was delayed because of procedural issues, such as the number of shares to be sold by the government. Recently, though, the government has moved to hasten its reform of State-owned enterprises, which may open the way for any deal to proceed.

(via) Read in Wired, a sociologist, Esther Kim from Yale University was interested in the tactics employed by people to keep a free seat in the bus:
- Avoid eye contact
- Lean against the window and stretch out your legs.
- Sit on the aisle seat and listen to music to pretend not to hear people asking for the window seat.
- Place a large bag or multiple items in the empty seat to make it time-consuming to move.
- Look out the window with a blank stare to appear crazy.
- Pretend to be asleep.
- Put your coat on the seat to make it appear already taken.
- If all else fails, lie: Say the seat has been taken by someone else.
Why do I blog this? A fascinating example of how people adopt very simple behavior to avoid a proximate interaction with strangers. The underlying reasons for doing that is also relevant. Potentially intriguing for designers interested in playing with this situation.

CINCINNATI -- Xavier's Trevon Bluiett has been dealing with a minor shoulder issue that has limited him in practice. But that didn't prevent the national player of the year candidate from having another huge shooting night for the 17th-ranked Musketeers.
Bluiett scored 25 points and J.P. Macura added 18, lifting Xavier to a 101-49 rout of Morehead State on Friday at Cintas Center.
Bluiett, who tested the NBA waters the past two summers but chose to return to Xavier, scored from virtually every spot on the court, including a baseline jumper from behind the backboard. He went 9 of 12, including 5 of 7 from 3-point range.
"I'm surprised quite honestly that Tre shot as well as he has because he hasn't practiced a whole lot," Xavier coach Chris Mack said. "He's only been going live the last couple of days. That's not easy to step right in and look like you never left. It's a credit to him. He's a phenomenal player."
The Musketeers also got solid contributions from their freshmen.
Naji Marshall scored 12 points, Paul Scruggs had six points and four assists, and Elias Harden added five points and three assists.
"A couple of times the game felt fast for me, but I just had to slow myself down and go with the pace of the game," Scruggs said. "We just needed to follow coach's game plan and be aggressive."
The Musketeers shot 69.2 percent from the field and 57.1 percent from 3-point range and had 26 assists.
"I thought we played to win and we competed all the way through," Mack said. "That's not always easy to do. I thought conversely on the offensive end, we continued to play together, not get selfish."
Sophomore guard Jordan Walker led Morehead with 18 points. Malek Green added seven.
"It's getting 10 new guys to understand there are no off days," Morehead coach Preston Spradlin said. "A very good Xavier team showed us what happens when you don't do that. Obviously, we're not happy with the score. A lot of that is them, they're a very good team."
Xavier put on an offensive clinic in the first half with 17 assists on 22 field goals. The Musketeers shot 75.9 percent in the half to build a 62-24 halftime lead.
Bluiett had 21 points by halftime, going 5 of 6 on 3s.
Quentin Goodin, who took over at point last season when Edmund Sumner was injured and helped lead the Musketeers to the Elite Eight, flashed some of those same skills.
Xavier hit four straight 3-pointers, including two by Kaiser Gates, one off Goodin's penetration and kick, to go up 27-4.
Goodin had only two points but contributed seven assists. Gates scored 14 points, going 4 of 4 from 3-point range.
Morehead State went without a field goal until Emanuel Thompson's 3-pointer with 15:03 left in the first half.
By then, Xavier already was ahead 18-4 and the rout was on. It was the Musketeers' largest margin of victory since a 118-61 win over Louisiana Monroe in 1997.
"We've got a long way to go and I think our guys know that," Mack said. "We turned the ball over a little bit too much, gave up too many offensive rebounds, but again, I want to go back to our effort and I was really pleased we were able to defend the way we did for 40 minutes."
NOTES: Xavier G Trevon Bluiett moved into 14th place on the school's career scoring list with 1,600 points. ... Xavier's 62 points in the first half were its most in any half since scoring 68 in the first half of a 117-75 win over Fairleigh Dickinson on Nov. 9, 2012. That also was the last time the Musketeers scored 100 or more points. ... Xavier leads the series 7-3. The last Eagles victory in the series was 99-84 during the 1979-80 season.

3:45 PM PT Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Bruce volunteered to go to the hospital to have his blood drawn for blood alcohol testing. He was taken in a Sheriff's cruiser. We've also learned the woman who was killed in the white car was coming to a stop at a red light when Bruce hit her. We're told law enforcement has already determined Bruce was not speeding.And we're told there was a 4th car involved in the accident. The woman in the white car hit a Prius in front of her before moving into oncoming traffic.
Bruce Jenner was involved in a horrific car accident on Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu at around noon Saturday, one person is dead, and it looks like Bruce caused the accident ... TMZ has learned.
Law enforcement sources tell us ... there were 4 vehicles involved in the crash. We're told there were 8 people involved and all sustained some sort of injury ... but one person died at the scene.
Eyewitnesses say Bruce rear ended the white car and that car went into oncoming traffic and was struck by the Hummer. You can see the impact in the pics below. The woman driving the white car died.

The Knicks have six new players on the roster, but luckily for them, they have two holdovers who've come back to camp with a renewed focus thanks to the time they spent at the London Olympics.
Carmelo Anthony and Tyson Chandler used their summer experiences to the max, as they not only helped Team USA win the gold, but they also forged a personal bond.
"Me and Carmelo became a lot closer and had a better understanding of each other, our personalities and what we wanted to accomplish in our careers," Chandler said. "The whole time we were out there, even though we were out there trying to accomplish our goals for the Olympics, we were also out there to work on ourselves and talk about what we wanted to accomplish with the New York Knicks."
Head coach Mike Woodson noted neither will play big minutes in the team's opening exhibition game tomorrow at Washington, but the real value has been put forth on the practice floor.
Both Anthony and Chandler are in supreme condition and it's rubbed off on the team. Woodson said he's noticed the difference.
"It is a bonus [playing in the Olympics] because when you spend the whole summer competing at a high level for something of that magnitude like winning a gold medal, it is important," Woodson said. "It's a bonus for any coach to have two players who played throughout the summer and have come back pumped up and ready to go. It's been nice to see."
Chandler said it was nice to see Anthony in a different light. Despite being teammates last year for the first time, it also came during the truncated lockout season, which means no teams, especially the ones assembled or changed on the fly as the Knicks were last season, were fully allowed to get to know one another.
"Anytime we had the chance to talk and get in the weight room we did everything together," Chandler said. "It made us stronger, and our bond stronger, and now we have to bring back the same leadership qualities back to our team."
Chandler thinks he and Melo are poised to have even better seasons than in years past, simply because their level of competition blew away anyone else's summer experience.
"Guys played pickups and things like that in the offseason but we're playing against the best players in the world in practice everyday," Chandler said. "And everybody sees the shape Melo is in, his timing, and he's already playing basketball at an unbelievable level. Same with me. I've also gotten my body stronger."
Anthony has always been known as one of the stronger players at position, but the real questions were always about leadership skills and conditioning.
But since the Knicks officially opened camp, Anthony has looked and sounded like a guy who possesses a quiet confidence about himself and the Knicks. He said even though there are a ton of veterans on the roster, he's been happy to share what little tidbits he picked up from Kobe Bryant, LeBron James and Kevin Durant. He hopes all he's learned will translate into bigger and better things for the Knicks.
"Just from a games standpoint, [and] already having that experience this summer carries over here into training camp," Anthony said. "It [knowledge] has carried over into our strategies, and our schemes, everything. … To incorporate that with my own team it makes things a lot more easier."
Woodson tried to deflect the added pressure that may accompany Chandler and Anthony, but he had to acknowledge the different level of swagger the two have.
"Anytime you play against the best players in the world they're going to force you to compete, and that's everyday in practice, or every time you step out there to play a game. I think you also learn things about yourself," said Woodson. "And I think Melo was fantastic in the Olympics and did a lot of wonderful things in helping to bring home the gold. It's been a nice carryover since he came into camp. He's committed — but I always thought he was committed. He'll need to be committed even more if we're talking about trying to take this team to the next level. … But that should be everybody. It's just not on Carmelo Anthony."
Knicks notes
»Rasheed Wallace worked out on Tuesday, though only in the walk-throughs. He's yet to be cleared to fully compete. Woodson said Wallace is "still in conditioning mode and is listed as day-to-day."
»James White didn't practice due to a nagging right hamstring injury.

Sometimes it's good to look back down
We've come so far; we've gained such ground
But joy is not in where we've been
Joy is who's waiting at the end
As I sat down to write this afternoon, these lyrics came to mind (taken from the song "Run After God With All Your Heart"). In my case, I am looking back to where my health was from January to April of this year, and I am thanking God for how far He has brought me. It's easy to still be discouraged when I think that I'm not where I want to be yet, but why would I complain when God is continuing to do a work in my life?
Nobody likes to be around someone who is always down, and I imagine that is true for God as well. As long as everything is going well, we are full of praise and adoration for Him, but when something happens that we don't like, we grumble and complain and fret. How that must make Him sad! After all, He is still as powerful as He was last week, but we very quickly lose sight of that.
I confess that I do this too often, but I pray to lift up my eyes of faith to see what God is doing instead of focusing on the negative that can cause discouragement and depression. I want to "rejoice always" (1 Thessalonians 5:16).
I would like to see every Believer share more praise reports than prayer requests. We have both, and I love to pray for my Brothers and Sisters, but often the needs overshadow God's goodness. In the midst of our trials, let's not forget to rejoice because He is good!

Classic Charlottesville surroundings, including lots of greenery, lend the house its character. (Photo by Andrea Hubbell)
Jim Tuley certainly wasn't the first architect in Charlottesville. In fact, he arrived in 1968 to join a well-established design community at UVA's School of Architecture. But he was one of the first to create a substantial body of modern work in Charlottesville. Dotting the city and Albemarle County, his nearly two dozen houses stand as a collective monument to his career.
Maybe because Tuley—who died in 1994—designed modern houses in a brick-and-white-column town, most of his projects break with tradition in a relatively quiet, unobtrusive way. The home of Pam Friedman and Ron Bailey is different. Located in a historic district north of Downtown, on a street that's lined with timeworn Victorians, their house cuts a tall profile on its steep lot, presenting an asymmetrical, geometric façade to the street. It's modern enough to have earned some neighbors' ire during its construction. "How dare you put such a house in this neighborhood?" they asked Pam Black, who with Theo Van Groll commissioned the house in 1989.
Nonetheless, Black and Van Groll spent nine happy years there—and now Friedman and Bailey are doing the same. The house is a kind of landmark in North Downtown, proof that even historic Charlottesville can admit an occasional contemporary thread into its tapestry. "It makes the street more interesting because it's a little bit of a surprise," said Friedman. Given that her home is the last one Tuley designed, one might say he went out with a bang.

"A set of drawers"
Even in the design phase, the house was a bit of a stretch for its location. Van Groll (also an architect and a former UVA faculty member) owned the lot; it was contiguous with the property surrounding a house on First Street, where he was living. He was able to get permission to build on the narrow, steep site only because it was grandfathered into the city's minimum site requirements.
He and Black turned to Tuley because they liked his previous work, and because —in a display of humility that might be called unusual in the architectural profession—Van Groll thought he'd be better off not designing the house alone. "I've always thought that when architects do their own houses, they would benefit from someone looking over their shoulders," he said, "because it's so easy to fall into your own traps."
Of course, Van Groll did bring plenty of ideas to the table. Whereas most of Tuley's houses are single-story affairs clad in redwood siding, this one is a three-story stucco edifice that harkens to the 17th century canal houses of Van Groll's native Holland. Such houses were taxed based on the size of their footprints, so they were built tall and narrow to max out living space. "There's a lot of glass in that house," added Van Groll, "and that would have been typical [of a canal house]."
Tuley devised a scheme to connect the three stories with a long stairwell on the north side of the house. A curved wall on one side makes it an inviting rather than confining space, and big windows and skylights flood it with light. While the ground floor provides storage and utility room, the living space is on the second floor (kitchen, living and dining) and third floor (bedrooms and den). It's been described as a "set of drawers," slotted into the hillside.
"One of the considerations, a very serious one," said Van Groll, "was that we did not want that house to get in the way of the view of the houses on First Street"—houses that sit higher and look over the flat roof of the Tuley house.
The steep lot does have one big advantage: Every floor opens directly to the outside. A second-floor porch on the front of the house is elevated above the street, but wraps around to meet the ground on the south side, where a surprisingly private courtyard is tucked against an ivy-covered wall. And from the third floor, a door opens in the house's rear wall onto the highest part of the lot, where a small but lovely garden provides yet another space to relax.

|Jim Tuley: A Charlottesville career
Though Jim Tuley, who taught architecture at UVA from 1968 to 1994, designed about a house per year during his long tenure in Charlottesville, his architectural legacy isn't terribly obvious unless you know where to look for it. Partly that's because most of his houses—despite their departure from the traditional Charlottesville styles—are somewhat subtle in appearance. And partly that's because they're spread out over the area, many of them tucked in quiet residential neighborhoods or secluded on rural lots."He was designing custom homes, but not for the super-wealthy," said Emily Kilroy, who wrote a study of Tuley's work for a UVA course last fall. Middle-class families hired Tuley to design contemporary homes that emphasized craftsmanship and functionality over size. A Tuley house "was supposed to be a backdrop for your life—functional, well done, in many ways modest," said Kilroy. Indeed, Tuley's homes were about 15 percent smaller than the average suburban house of their era.
Influenced by modern touchstones like the Bauhaus movement and Buckminster Fuller, Tuley designed houses in a variety of forms, and Kilroy said his inventiveness is apparent despite certain common threads. "You can see 'This is a Tuley floor, this is a Tuley organization of rooms,' but they all stand on their own. He was responsive to what the site had to offer…he wasn't just pulling out a formula." Tuley houses range from single-story houses with flat roofs, to A-frame dwellings, to a vacation home off the Blue Ridge Parkway, with 360-degree windows and a form based on a seashell.
Current occupants of Tuley houses include Charlottesville Mayor Satyendra Huja, at least one UVA architecture professor, and one couple who hired Tuley to design their home nearly 40 years ago. Most see themselves as stewards of an important legacy, said Kilroy—a view that Tuley himself probably shared. Past clients told Kilroy that "he had a huge ego about what he did. He thought he was the best designer in Charlottesville at the time."—E.H.
Views, in and out
So much outdoor living space is impressive for a house that fills nearly the entire width of its lot. "That relationship to the outside of that house, even at the front with the generous balcony structure, was really very nice," said Van Groll.
Emily Kilroy, a graduate student at UVA, completed a study of Tuley's work last fall and wrote in her report that he tended to "utilize the exterior for living space," partly to make up for the generally modest size of his homes. Not only does the design invite occupants outside, it also makes the outdoor surroundings an important part of being inside. A classic Charlottesville mix of brick walls, well-tended gardens and blooming trees pours into windows. "This is a house shoved into existing gardens," said Van Groll, "so we had the instant pleasure of looking at nice things on either side."
Ron Bailey praised the airy feel of the house's interior. "On a sunny day you feel like you're in a jewel box," he said. "There's lots of light. It's built in the side of a hill, but it's designed to bring in light from every possible corner."
The stairwell is key to creating that effect. Beginning in a small entry on the ground floor, it narrows as it climbs along the curved wall, toward a bank of eight large north-facing windows positioned over the second-floor landing. Though this is the stairs' narrowest point, the landing feels expansive with the glass on one side and the open great room on the other. From here the stairwell continues up, widening again as it approaches the third floor, bathed in light from three skylights (whose outlines follow the curve of the stairs). A maple handrail lends a touch of earthy warmth.
Even as the curved wall defines the stairwell, it brings interest and life to the rooms on its other side. "I like Theo's line about it," said Friedman—"It activates the space." Two large openings in the wall create sightlines between the living room and stairwell. In the dining room and kitchen, the curve provides generous hanging space for Friedman and Bailey's modern art collection.
Otherwise, the house hews to a rectilinear geometry that owes much to the Dutch "De Stijl" movement of the 1920s (think Mondrian). Case in point is the front façade, where a "subtractive form," as Kilroy put it, defines the second- and third-floor porches. In other words, they look as though they've been carved out of the house rather than tacked on.
Standing on the second-floor porch, one has a view of greenery rather than the street, framed by supports that form window-like openings. The feeling of expansiveness is enhanced by the double-height ceiling.
There's a different, but equally appealing, atmosphere in the patio off the third floor. It's a squarish space where low walls, steps, and planting beds form a geometric pattern, beautified by copious daffodils and other ornamental plantings. Older houses on adjacent lots lend historic patina. Yet even this patio comes in second as a place to be outdoors.
"The little courtyard [off] the dining room was really our favorite idea," said Van Groll. "The area in the back is quite nice although admittedly we didn't use that very much. It was so convenient to get off the dining room into that courtyard." From inside, two sets of sliding glass doors invite people to step outside into this leafy space, just big enough for a table, chairs, and a few potted herbs.
An ivy-covered wall contains two small windows, a nod to the house's original occupants: One is at eye level for Van Groll, the other for Black. Luckily, they also fit Bailey and Friedman.

Two heads are better…
Inside, the house exhibits a few key traits of Jim Tuley's work, with a dose of Van Groll thrown in.
From the dining room, a couple of steps lead down to the living room, giving it in effect a higher ceiling. This, said Kilroy, is a trope that Tuley repeated in nearly all his houses (though in many others, the living room ceiling is also raised). Flanking these steps is a set of built-in cabinets, serving as a room divider as well as storage, designed and built by Van Groll.
The house also has a balance of minimalist, modern surfaces and natural materials. All its walls were originally painted "Tuley white," a color developed collaboratively between Tuley and Meadowbrook Hardware's Ronnie Kite, and still available for sale. But much of the flooring is maple. Ornamentation is very minimal, and the tones of the house are muted, set off by colorful Oriental rugs, paintings and art objects.
According to Kilroy, kitchens are often seen as a weak point in Tuley's designs by those who live and cook in them. Yet this one "works well," said Friedman. Perhaps that's partly due to the custom cabinetry Van Groll provided, with many shallow drawers and a large bank of open shelving for dishes and glasses.
A final Tuley hallmark: In many ways, said Friedman, the house is a sensible one. "It's not built terribly expensively. The floor in the front hall"—a plain linoleum—"you'll see it in shop floors. It's easy to clean." Besides durable materials, the house achieves economy through relatively small size. It has just two bedrooms, both modestly proportioned.
"It's a very easy house to live in," Friedman said. "Many houses have little bits of architect-ego poking through, and this house doesn't."
|Off the third story, a patio and garden warm up the house's symmetrical facade.

The standout
Just being modern in North Downtown has earned the house lots of attention—positive and negative. During the design phase, Van Groll said, some neighbors were vehemently opposed to what they saw as the affront to their streetscapes presented by Tuley's style.
Yet others were more amenable. "We went before the BAR"—the Board of Architectural Review—"and the members felt it was perfectly in scale with what else was going on in the neighborhood…The porch, the stucco, all of these things we could find in the neighborhood. There was an elderly Greek lady living across [from the site] and she said 'It reminds me of Athens.' That was good enough for us."
Friedman, a longtime Downtown dweller, liked what the house brought to the neighborhood so much that, in 1998, she told Van Groll that she'd buy it if he ever wanted to sell. She was engaged to Bailey, who shared her fondness for modern design, and had considered putting an addition on the small cottage she owned on Hedge Street. But she found the prospect of construction daunting.
Reaching out to Van Groll and Black was a good idea. "Within six weeks they called and said 'We're thinking about moving; are you interested?'" she said.
When Friedman and Bailey went to see the house, things moved fast. "We're coming up the first flight of stairs and said 'Oh my God…'" said Friedman.
Van Groll gave them a careful, one-and-a-half-hour tour. Then, said Bailey, "He brought out the [architectural] drawings, sat us down and said, 'What do you think?' We said 'We'll take it.'"
Fourteen years later, the couple is happy with that quick decision. Bailey said they've been in other Tuley-designed homes around town, and he credits the influence of Van Groll for this: "Ours is the best."

A few months ago, I wrote about the division of the Methodist Episcopal Church into northern and southern branches. Since we're members of the United Methodist Church today, we know that at some point, we got back together. When did that happen?
The northern and southern branches of the Methodist Episcopal Church, along with the Methodist Protestant Church, joined together to create The Methodist Church in 1939 at a uniting General Conference in Kansas City, Missouri. Reunification came about after two generations of movement in that direction, and several South Carolina Methodists were instrumental in that movement. Dr. Henry Nelson Snyder, Wofford's president from 1902 to 1942, was a member of the reunification commission that first convened in 1916.
The division in the church had occurred in the generation before the American Civil War, and in the generation following the war, Methodists on both sides of the Mason-Dixon Line began reaching out to each other. They recognized that they shared a common tradition and knew that good relations between the two denominations would have to grow before any further steps toward cooperation might ever happen. Beginning in the late 1870s, some sixty years before formal union, the two churches were sending fraternal delegates to each other's General Conference. By the 1890s, the two churches were willing to create a joint commission on federation, though they were still far from any plan of union. The joint commission looked for and found areas where the two denominations could work together, such as on publishing and on foreign missions. Tensions still existed, however, as both churches were seeking new members in the western states. At a major conference in 1910, delegates from all three denominations agreed to study a union of the churches, not simply a federation.
The thorny American problem of race relations, however, reared its head, and a proposal coming out of this group would have placed all of the African-American members of the new denomination into a separate "Quadrennial Conference" as the regional bodies we now know as jurisdictions were tentatively named.
By 1916, the commission on federation became a joint commission on unification, with a goal of creating a new denomination. It met some six times in the next 3 years to perfect a plan of union. Still, the role and treatment of African-American members was of primary concern to the southern delegates. And, the churches early on decided on the need for an independent judicial council, for whereas the southern church relied on the college of bishops as the final arbiter of the church constitution, the northern church relied on the General Conference to hold that role. By 1920, a new constitution had been proposed, both General Conferences had considered it, and in 1924, both General Conferences approved it and submitted it to the annual conferences for approval. It required a ¾ vote of all of the southern annual conferences to go into effect.
However, many southern Methodists objected to unification in the mid-1920s, fearing integration, social liberalism, loss of control of the church, loss of identity, and even that northern ministers would come South and take all of the better appointments! When the votes of the annual conferences were tallied, a majority had approved, but nowhere near the ¾ majority required.
This proved to be only a temporary setback. Several powerful bishops had opposed the plan, as had many members of the laity. But, Methodist young people were strong supporters of church union. By 1935, all three denominations were using the same hymnal, one that the three denominations had worked to develop. The churches agreed on the jurisdictional system as the basis for uniting the church, and they also agreed on the need for equal representation of the laity and clergy in each annual conference. In 1936, the General Conferences of the Methodist Protestant and Methodist Episcopal churches approved the plan of union, and their annual conferences moved quickly to ratify. In the South, the annual conferences acted first, and about 86% of the members of the conferences approved. Approval of the southern General Conference was almost a foregone conclusion in 1938. The Uniting General Conference convened on April 26, 1939.
Reunification, however, brought about some unwelcome compromises. African-American Methodists were placed into a segregated Central Jurisdiction, and as such, the South Carolina Conference (1866) became the South Carolina Conference, Central Jurisdiction, with bishops elected by that jurisdiction. The jurisdictional conference itself was the compromise that brought about reunification, as many southerners wanted bishops to be selected within each region. The Central Jurisdiction existed until it was abolished in 1968, which was the same time that the United Methodist Church was created.

- If you get bitten while staying in a motel/hotel, look very carefully around the mattress and bed to try to determine if it is bedbugs. Report the situation to the motel/hotel staff.
- Bedbugs can be killed by heat over 98 degrees. If you discover bedbugs in your clothing or linen, wash them in hot water and dry them in a dryer.
- Carefully inspect anything you buy at a yard sale, garage sale, or thrift store-and wash it in hot water just to be safe.
What to do if you discover bedbugs in your room?
- Signs you might have bedbugs:
- You have white to red bites that itch intensely;
- You discover small, light to dark brown, quarter-centimeter bugs on your sheets or couch; or
- You discover small darkish-brown stains in the seams of your mattress.
- Call Facilities Management at 757-221-2270 during business hours of 7:30am - 4:30pm to arrange inspection and treatment.

Cigar Smoke Wafts Into Children's Movies
Health groups are fuming at Hollywood's continued taste for smoking.
Nov. 6, 2008 -- Health groups are fuming at Hollywood's continued taste for smoking.
A new study by the American Medical Association Alliance, the volunteer branch of the AMA, finds that over the past six years more than half of the movies geared toward children feature characters smoking. In more than a quarter of the movies, actors light up cigars.
And officials say the Motion Picture Association of America has failed to deliver on its vow last year to weigh smoking in the ratings process.
Among the latest study's findings:
•Since 2002, out of 617 movies rated G, PG or PG-13, 57% have featured smoking; since 2007, when the MPAA's stricter policy took effect, 49% have featured smoking.
•Out of 441 movies rated PG-13, 296, or 67%, have featured smoking of some kind. That number has dropped to 56% since last year.
Sandi Frost, president of the AMAA, says the group launched the study after noticing that most of the teen-oriented summer blockbusters, including "Iron Man," "The Incredible Hulk" and "The Dark Knight," featured cigar smoking.
"Hollywood has not responded to the call of the public to reduce the images of tobacco," she says. The MPAA "hasn't fulfilled its promise."
MPAA spokesman Seth Oster takes issue with the study. He says his organization's own four-year analysis of 3,400 films found that of the 1,938 movies that featured smoking, 75% were rated R. In addition, he notes, the MPAA has added phrases such as "glamorizes smoking" and "pervasive smoking" in its ratings. "We have incorporated smoking as a factor on par with other issues like language, violence and sexual situations," Oster says. "The motion picture industry takes very seriously the issue of smoking in films."
The AMAA and American Lung Association are pushing for any film with smoking — other than a biographical film or a movie addressing the dangers of tobacco — to get an automatic R rating, which requires anyone under 17 be accompanied by an adult.
"Hollywood has been bombarding people with smoking messages for decades," says Paul Billings, vice president of national policy and advocacy for the lung association. "But they're still allowed to send the wrong signal to kids, who are seeing their heroes smoking."

As an avid sportsman, I have always had a passion for Alaska. The operation that Alaska River Wild Adventures runs is first class in every way. Hard working and knowledgeable guides, clean well organized camp with fantastic food and all of this located in the most spectacular sheep rich setting in Alaska. I can't wait to get back there again but for now thank you for a lifetime of amazing memories.
Alaska's River Wild puts on an impressive guided hunt. From the moment that I arrived at the airstrip, I was very well taken care of. The hunting area is incredible and it is pure luxury to come back to a warm cabin after a full day of sheep hunting. My hunt culminated in shooting a Dall sheep on my birthday at 30 yards! Truly an incredible experience!!!
Alaska's River Wild, I just want you to know how much I enjoyed my hunt and say thanks, Spencer and Jon continually put us on sheep, what an incredible hunt! It is one of my all-time favorite hunts and I can't wait for another 3 years to pass so we can get back on them.
Both myself and Serenity would like to thank Alaska's River Wild for an adventure of a lifetime. From the moment we arrived we were taken care of very well from the accommodations at all your camps to the food, it was "Great" especially for a back country sheep hunt. We started out sheep hunting which we were successful on day 9 and then on to moose camp where we saw plenty of game. All and all... it was very special for us and we will defiantly be coming back in the near future."
My Dall sheep and Black Bear hunt with Alaska's River Wild was truly an incredible experience! I had the time of my life and everything was amazing. The camps and food were first class. The guides were amazing and knowledgeable and really know the area. I got a beautiful Dall sheep, and a great Black Bear. I would recommend this great outfit to anyone who wants a first class Dall Sheep hunt. The country is breathtaking and beautiful! I loved it so much, that I'm taking my daughter to hunt a Dall sheep for her graduation present from high school. My wife is even coming to camp just to see the amazing setting and pure beauty. Seth, the owner is outstanding. As well as, the amazing guides (Spencer and Jon). It's a great place to hunt Dall sheep and a wonderful overall experience. I highly recommend Alaska River Wild!

Costa Concordia salvage operation to begin on Monday in largest refloat in history
The Costa Concordia, the stricken cruise ship that has been resting on its side just 300 meters off the Tuscan island of the Giglio, since January 13, 2012, will be finally lifted back into an upright position on Monday September 16th.
The 114,000 ton Italian cruise ship was initially to be cut into sections, but the idea was later rejected because of danger to the delicate marine environment and the fact that the Giglio is amarine sanctuary.
The operation that is being called 'largest refloat in history' will cost least 300 million euros.

U.S. company Titan Salvage and Micoperi of Italy will try raising the ship in an operation dubbed 'Parbuckling Project' that is expected to take between 12 and 14 hours.
The Parabuckling Project forsees pulling the ship upright with cranes and then lifting it onto floating platforms to then be towed to the port of Piombino broken up for scrapping next Spring.
The Costa Concordia was on a week cruise that fatal January ,when passing near the Giglio , Capt. Francesco Schettino allegedly decided to take his ship closer to the coast to salute a former Costa captain, only to end up hitting a reef and tearing a 160 ft gash on the port side of her hull, flooding parts of the engine room which began making her list. The ship grounded on her starboard side just meters off the Giglio port on her starboard side
32 people diedin the shipwreck, and five employees of an Italian cruise company were convicted in an Italian court in July, after the court accepted their plea bargains, with the longest sentence of two years and 10 months give to the crisis coordinator for Costa Crociere SpA (who will not serve jail time).
Captain Schettino is is being tried separately and he faces up to 20 years, if convicted of manslaughter, causing the shipwreck and abandoning the ship before all the passengers were evacuated.
The first part of the trial finished in July and will resume on October 7th.

Netatmo is the latest vendor to be exposed as having weak security to protect user information. The Internet of things (IoT) vendor has several products, including a set of Internet-enabled weather monitoring devices that connect via a user's WiFi network to communicate with the cloud.
The problem is that the Netatmo was storing user WiFi network passwords, then transmitting them in the clear, without any encryption, as part of a data debug dump. The debug information was sent to the Netatmo cloud service, which enables users to track and monitor weather remotely.
Netatmo devices are widely deployed across the U.S., and the company has an online map that shows where devices are located. The purpose of the map is to help users see weather all around the country. Netatmo data can also be uploaded to the Weather Underground crowdsourced weather platform.
Security researcher Johannes Ullrich of the Internet Storm Center (ISC), itself an organization tasked with reporting on the "weather" conditions of the Internet, was the first person to publicly discover and report the WiFi credential flaw.
Further reading
Netatmo publicly tweeted on Feb. 13 that it has corrected the flaw and thanked Ullrich for his report.
The issue of dumping a WiFi password in the clear is nontrivial and could have had profound consequences. Potentially anyone in range of a Netatmo device could have sniffed the network traffic and pulled out the unencrypted WiFi password to gain access to a user's network. Going a step further, given that the data was sent unencrypted, there might well have been a risk about how data is stored on the cloud back end at Netatmo as well.
What's most interesting about the Netatmo situation though is how Ullrich found the flaw, which actually serves to illustrate how users can protect themselves. Ullrich didn't debug the device or run some kind of penetration testing exercise. Instead, it was the open-source Snort IPS (intrusion prevention system) on Ullrich's network that protected him from leaking his WiFi password.
"I do have a custom rule in my Snort rule set, alerting me of the passphrase being sent in the clear," Ullrich wrote.
Going a step further, Ullrich has provided the rule, which I have now implemented on my own network as it's delightfully simple and effective. Ullrich's Snort rule for monitoring of WiFi password leakage is:
alert ip any any -> any any ( sid: 1000284; msg: "WPA PSK Passphrase Leak"; content: "[Iamnotgoingtotellyou]"; )
It seems as though at least once a week, I see reports about some news or study on IoT security. The simple truth is that IoT security is no different from any other former of technology security. Basic hygiene and best practices should always be in place, passwords should be protected, and data should be encrypted.
For users, the lesson is simple: Network segmentation and monitoring is critical. In my own use case for all the IoT devices in my environment, they are on separate VLANs that are isolated from my primary network. In that way, if my IoT toaster for example is exploited, an attacker can't use it as a way to get into my bank information that is on my primary VLAN network segment.
It's still early days for many IoT devices, and I suspect this Netatmo incident won't be the last time we hear about a security issue. Continued vigilance from security researchers and users is the only way the problem will ever get better.

May Day not only marks the beginning of spring festivals, but the beginning of National Walking Month in the UK. With celebrated British writers such as Patrick Leigh Fermor, Virginia Woolf and Wordsworth celebrating the joys of walking in the UK in their works, you're in good company.
At some point, Eel Pie Island will pass by on the left. Renowned as one of London's best jazz and blues venues in the 1960s, performers such as David Bowie, The Rolling Stones, The Who and Acker Bilk are only a few of the famous faces that graced the island during that time. After a brief stint as a hippie commune in the '70s, and a botched invasion by TV presenter Danny Wallace in 2005, the island is now home to a colourful and eclectic set of shanty homes, studios and the Twickenham Rowing Club. Follow the footbridge over for a quick diversion on the trail.
Being a National Trust walk, the trail will eventually meet with Ham House and Gardens, a regal 17th century Stuart manor home situated on the bank overlooking the Thames in a very dramatic fashion. Known as one of Britain's most haunted houses, Ham House contains a plethora of artwork, furniture and textiles that are well worth a look, plus some meticulously kept gardens that all visitors should take advantage of with a sunny summer stroll. There is also a cafe serving tea and other light refreshments, making this a good stop on the walk if you fancy a lunch-time break from walking to replenish your energy.
After diverting traffic by the Dysart Arms Pub, simply cross the street and enter through the kissing gate at Petersham Meadows. Car fumes and traffic noise dies away along this tranquil, open path. Head towards the hills on the left until you reach King Henry's Mound at the summit. With narrow, manicured walkways and a detailed, panoramic map of London's skyline, King Henry's Mound is an excellent spot to take a break (and catch your breath) after the steep incline to point out famous landmarks.
For animal lovers, the best parts of the trail is next. While many theories fly around (apologies for the pun) about the origins of the Kingston Parakeets, no one truly knows their origins in Britain. The general gist from all the hypotheses though, is that parakeets escaped, didn't die in the wild, mated like rabbits (or parakeets, apologies again) and have grown in size, with some estimates at 50,000. Today groups of these vivid green critters can be seen perched on trees lining the roads to Richmond Park, or scavenging the grass for meals.
Possibly Richmond Park's most famous inhabitants, approximately 630 Red and Fallow deer call these woods home. Congregating in big groups, it is easy to see the female and their young in the spring. The stags on the other hand, prefer to shy away from the limelight, and normally camouflage themselves within the woods.
Sometimes though, they get a little envious and want a piece of the attention….
Continue to follow the trail as it takes you to the manicured lawns and play areas of Richmond Park, and back to Kingston station. Or take this opportunity to go off the beaten trail and explore more of Richmond Park. For full trail instructions, please see the National Trust walk website.

If you think of family law, you might automatically think of negative things. Family matter is more than just high-tension child custody cases and contested divorces. We also handle adoptions that can change a child's life for the better. If you are considering adoption to grow your family, you should make sure that you know your rights and understand the process so that you are ready for each step as it comes.
Adoptions are happy events, but the process to get there can be very stressful. As you go through the process, you are likely to have questions about what is going on, what your options are and how decisions you make are going to impact your case. The information you have about the adoption process is very important. Home studies, court proceedings and other factors are all kind of scary if you don't know what to expect so you can prepare.
We know that you just want a smooth process so that you can finally give your adopted child the stability that he or she needs. While we can't speed the process up, we can work with you to make sure that you have everything together so that you aren't the cause of delays. Throughout the process, you should remember that your child's adoption is what is important. When things get stressful, it is easy to let your emotions rule. That isn't always what is best for you in an adoption. We are here to try to help you remain grounded so that you can make the decisions that you feel the most comfortable with.

TOP marksman Ross McCormack has been ruled out for three weeks after suffering a second hamstring tear in five weeks.
McCormack – who has scored 14 goals this season – had a scan yesterday and is now due back around the same time as Michael Chopra's loan from Sunderland expires on December 31.
City manager Dave Jones has declared his intention to seek an extension to the loan as soon as the Premier League club appoint a new manager following Roy Keane's departure.
Chopra is now back to full health following his illness over the weekend, and Jones said: "Chops is back to his best. He's fine.
"He was dehydrated and we gambled by putting him on the bench against Preston, but it paid off because he scored."
Chopra will step in for McCormack up front against Burnley at Turf Moor tonight, which is likely to be the only change from the weekend starting line-up against Preston.
