Humane Society International: Horsemeat Scandal Raises Ethical Questions about Slaughtering Horses
LONDON – In the wake of recent revelations that quantities of horsemeat have been found in beef burgers for sale in the United Kingdom and Ireland, Humane Society International affirms that there is widespread confusion about the origin of horsemeat in the European food chain as well as an aversion to eating horses, as indicated in a recent survey by Ipsos MORI. HSI also raises concerns about inadequate labelling and potential health risks.
"We don't yet know how horsemeat came to be in these beef burgers, but consumers have rightly raised questions about how much is really known about the origin of our food," said Joanna Swabe, Ph.D., European Union director of HSI. "Killing horses for meat raises serious ethical questions and causes extreme disquiet. Horses are sensitive, sentient animals for whom the long-distance transport and slaughter process can be hugely distressing. Research commissioned by Humane Society International shows that many EU citizens would prefer to avoid eating horsemeat altogether and only a very small percentage claim to eat it frequently."
A retail investigation recently conducted by HSI reveals that many EU consumers may be completely unaware of the origin of horsemeat -- or that they are buying horsemeat at all -- due to inadequate labelling.
HSI's report into the availability of horsemeat in Belgium, France and the Netherlands found horsemeat products to be widely available to consumers in these countries in a variety of forms: fresh chilled products, processed horsemeat products, such as sliced smoked meats, salami and sausages. Horsemeat was also found as a 'hidden ingredient' in cheap convenience meat snack products, particularly in Belgium and the Netherlands. The study observes that it is likely that consumers may be completely unaware that these products contain horsemeat.
The retail investigation found that only fresh, chilled cuts of horsemeat were labelled with reliable country of origin information. In contrast, the study concluded that it is impossible for consumers to ascertain where the meat used in processed horsemeat products originally comes from because the product markings, if present, refer to where the product has been manufactured and packaged, rather than to where the animals from which it derives have been raised and slaughtered.
The horsemeat trade in Europe results in around 200,000 horses being killed for their meat in the EU. Tens of thousands of horses suffer long-distance transportation to satisfy this trade. An additional hundreds of thousands of kilos of horsemeat gets imported into the EU annually from abattoirs in other countries, such as Canada and Mexico. Video footage of a horse slaughter undercover investigation by HSI's affiliate organisation The Humane Society of the United States can be viewed here.
Horsemeat imported to Europe from third countries may pose a risk to human health. Horses in the United States that end up slaughtered are routinely given veterinary drugs banned for use in food-producing animals in Europe. Without assurances that third parties have implemented food safety systems equivalent to those provided by EU legislation, HSI urges the European Commission to exercise the Precautionary Principle and place a moratorium on imports of horsemeat of U.S. origin.

Results for Italy: 35% thought most horsemeat sold in Italy originated from Italy; 20% from elsewhere in the EU; 10% from another European country; 6% from outside Europe; 29% said don't know.
Results for France: 25% thought most horsemeat sold in France originated from France; 32% from elsewhere in the EU; 5% from another European country; 12% from outside Europe; 25% said don't know.
Results for Belgium: 23% thought most horsemeat sold in Belgium originated from Belgium; 14% from elsewhere in the EU; 5% from another European country; 15% from outside Europe; 43% said don't know.
Results for Italy, France & Belgium respectively: Have eaten horsemeat at least once: 62%; 67%; 67%; Consume horsemeat often: 3%; 4%; 6%; Consume horsemeat sometimes: 11%; 16%; 20%; Have never and would never eat horsemeat: 34%; 28%; 28%

Leanne Meecham death: Stepfather guilty of murder
A man has been found guilty of the "violent and vicious" murder of his stepdaughter, who was also his former lover.
Leanne Meecham, 26, was stabbed at her house in Westcliff-on-Sea, in Essex, in February. She later died in hospital.
Her stepfather and former partner Simon Meecham, 43, was found guilty by a jury at Chelmsford Crown Court.
Judge Charles Gratwicke told him to prepare himself "for a substantial term of imprisonment".
He will be sentenced at a later date.
'Unprovoked attack'
During the trial, Meecham, from Rosewood Lane in Shoeburyness, told the jury he injured Miss Meecham by mistake, not realising he was holding a knife.
But Essex Police described the stabbing on 13 February as "a determined, focussed and wholly unprovoked attack" on a "defenceless" victim.
Miss Meecham died in hospital in London a week later.
A post-mortem examination found she suffered brain damage, caused by a lack of oxygen, after she was stabbed in the windpipe.
The court heard Meecham, who was previously married to Miss Meecham's mother Jane, had a serious alcohol problem.
Police had been called to disturbances at the house on Park Street on numerous occasions.
In January, he was arrested and pleaded guilty to common assault, leading to him and Miss Meecham splitting up.
'Jealousy and anger'
During the murder trial, he denied being controlling and threatening to kill his stepdaughter when she started a new relationship.
The prosecution said he was "motivated by jealousy and anger".
Det Chief Insp Mark Hall said Meecham "stabbed himself a number of times in an attempt to make it look like he was the victim" after leaving Miss Meecham's house.
"He later falsely claimed these injuries had been caused by Leanne, and then later claimed he had stabbed her accidently.
"The jury in this case have seen through those lies," he said.
Speaking after the trial, Miss Meecham's family said: "The past six months have been especially hard for us as we struggle to come to terms with how Leanne was taken from us.
"Despite the conviction of her killer, his term of imprisonment will never be sufficient punishment".
A domestic homicide review and an internal police investigation into the case, supervised by the Independent Police Complaints Commission, are now under way.

IAYD Live 6/9/12 @ Studio B in Corpus Christi TX
So, here it is; the absolutely raw recordings of one of the last IAYD sets at Studio B in Corpus Christi, TX, the summer of 2k12. Hands down, this set is one of the most emotional sets I've ever played (I'm going to miss Studio B a whole lot), as well as one of the most chaotic and absolutely insane crowds I've ever had the pleasure of playing for; and the amount of times I become unplugged reflects that in the recordings.
Personal highlights from the show include: 8 bottles of champagne popped during the set endless high hives/hugs/sentimental people endless cart corruption three buttons off of my shirt getting ripped off my table collapsing from bassweight/crowdweight
the rest you'll have to discover for yourself.
I just really hope you enjoy it.
(those who choose to donate will receive the raw video footage of the set, as well as the raw GB recordings of the full tracks, [City of Mediocrity, Get Death, and etc.])

I have no set opinion on the death penalty, and I have gone out of my way to be kind toward Gov. Perry, as a fellow evangelical and a politician whose record I generally respect very much. But I have to say that I found his answer tonight–in which he said he's never lost sleep over any of the hundreds of executions he's authorized in Texas–to be absolutely chilling. Only God should be that sure, Governor.
I've got a Reformed understanding of who the children of God are, among other disagreements, but I agree with Quin Hillyer that this is not just disturbing, but disqualifying.

Dream Home is another film that seems to get mentioned whenever anyone starts up a conversation about extreme horror movies. While the movie is gory and brutal, I certainly wouldn't lump it in the category of extreme horror. It is so much more than that sub genre would ever give it credit for. It manages to combine many things to become greater than the sum of it's parts, so mentioning it in the same breath as Men Behind the Sun or Philosophy of a Knife certainly does the movie no justice whatsoever. There is a real story at the heart of this film.
Cheng Lai-Sheung dreams of owning an apartment with a harbor view. She knows exactly which apartment she wants. Cheng works two jobs to save for her dream home, but when the opportunity arises for her to purchase the apartment, it seems she still cannot afford it. Cheng then realiazes that to get what she wants, she will have to do whatever it takes to acquire her dream. Even if it means getting her hands bloody.
Dream Home shares it's running time between flashbacks of Cheng's past, and her activities in the present, coming across as rather Tarantino-esque. With the film showing this, it means the audience invest a great deal into Cheng, and even though she commits despicable act after despicable act, it is impossible not to like her. The story may be complex, but it never gets confusing, and flows along at a great pace that keeps the viewer interested in what is going on. Cheng's past is deeply saddening, and certainly puts a lot of emphasis on why she is behaving like she is.
At it's heart, Dream Home is a slasher movie, and the kills are some of the most spectacular and brutal I have seen in a long time. Every single death will have you inhaling deeply in shock at the acts of brutality on screen. Fortunately, Dream Home doesn't rely solely on the kills to tell it's story. It also features a rather poignant social commentary about the housing situation in China, and just how expensive property is there, and what somebody would do just for a piece of property.
The film is filed with both a dark sense of humor and bloody, almost operatic scenes of death and murder. It flickers between dark emotional family drama and gory slasher, and works in every single way, not losing an ounce of it's emotion or brutality along the way.
Darkest regards......Dani.

New 'Solo: A Star Wars Story' Poster Assembles the Crew
When Lucasfilm dropped the first official teaser trailer for Solo: A Star Wars Story, they also released a group of nifty character posters for the main characters. Now, the studio has unveiled what appears to be the main poster for the film, which is very much in the style of those character posters but features the entire main ensemble cast. We've got Alden Ehrenreich as young Han Solo, Donald Glover as Lando Calrissian, Emilia Clarke as the mysterious Qi'ra, Woody Harrelson as Han's mentor Tobias Beckett, Phoebe Waller-Bridge as the droid L3-37, and of course … *Fairview is a hamlet and census-designated place (CDP) in Dutchess County, New York, United States. The population was 5,515 at the 2010 census.[1] It is part of the Poughkeepsie–Newburgh–Middletown, NY Metropolitan Statistical Area as well as the larger New York–Newark–Bridgeport, NY-NJ-CT-PA Combined Statistical Area. Geography Fairview is a community in the towns of Poughkeepsie and Hyde Park that is bordered to the south by the city of Poughkeepsie. U.S. Route 9 forms the western edge of the CDP. New York State Route 9G (Violet Avenue) runs north-south through the center of the community. Part of the campus of Marist College is in the western part of the CDP, and Dutchess Community College is in the east. To the north, the CDP extends as far as Dorsey Lane in Hyde Park. According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 3.6 square miles (9.2 km2), of which 3.5 square miles (9.0 km2) is land and 0.1 square miles (0.2 km2), or 2.13%, is water.[1] Demographics As of the census[2] of 2000, there were 5,421 people, 1,937 households, and 1,268 families residing in the CDP. The population density was 1,557.2 per square mile (601.5/km²). There were 2,003 housing units at an average density of 575.4/sq mi (222.2/km²). The racial makeup of the CDP was 81.06% White, 11.36% African American, 0.20% Native American, 2.23% Asian, 0.09% Pacific Islander, 2.32% from other races, and 2.73% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 5.17% of the population. There were 1,937 households out of which 33.0% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 50.3% were married couples living together, 11.0% had a female householder with no husband present, and 34.5% were non-families. 26.5% of all households were made up of individuals and 9.8% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.58 and the average family size was 3.14. In the CDP the population was spread out with 24.7% under the age of 18, 8.9% from 18 to 24, 31.4% from 25 to 44, 22.2% from 45 to 64, and 12.8% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 37 years. For every 100 females there were 99.6 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 99.5 males. The median income for a household in the CDP was $45,676, and the median income for a family was $52,598. Males had a median income of $38,269 versus $27,888 for females. The per capita income for the CDP was $17,846. About 4.5% of families and 8.5% of the population were below the poverty line, including 9.5% of those under age 18 and 5.5% of those age 65 or over.

Date of Composition
Hyperion was begun by Keats beside his brother's sickbed in September or October, 1818. It is to Hyperion that he refers when he speaks in those days of "plunging into abstract images", and finding a "feverous relief" in the "abstractions" of poetry. These phrases are applicable only to Hyperion. It was finished some time in April, 1819.
Keats's Original Plan About This Poem
The subject of Hyperion had long been in Keats's mind, and both in the text and the preface of Endymion he indicated his intention to attempt it. At first he thought of the poem to be written as a "romance", but his plan changed to that of a blank verse epic in ten or twelve books. His purpose was to describe the warfare of the earlier Titanic dynasty with the later Olympian dynasty of the Greek gods; and in particular one episode of that warfare, the dethronement of the sun-god Hyperion and the assumption of his kingdom by Apollo. Hyperion exists in two versions, both incomplete. The second version was a revision of the first, with the addition of a long induction in a new style which makes it into a different poem. The two versions of the poem extend over Keats's greatest creative period. The first version was written mostly before the great Odes, the second mostly after them. As a matter of fact, the period covered by Hyperion is the period of Keats's most intense experience, both of joy and sorrow, in actual life, and of his most rapid development.
The Dethronement of Hyperion, the Proposed Theme
The theme of the war between the Titans or the earlier generation of gods, and the later Olympians who overthrew them often occurs in the literature which Keats was fond of reading. The specific theme, the dethronement of Hyperion, the old sun-god, by Apollo the new, is Keats's own. Apollo is also the god of poetry, and as Endymion had symbolised the fate of the lover of beauty in the world, so the story of Apollo and Hyperion was perhaps going to symbolise the fate of the poet as creator. Since the poem is unfinished, we cannot know.
The Miltonic Influence
The design of Hyperion owes much to Milton. The poem opens in the regular epic manner, in the middle of the story. The Titans, like Milton's fallen angels, are already outcasts and have lost their power. Hyperion alone is not yet overthrown, and, like Milton's Satan, he is the one hope of further existence. The opening scene is followed by a council to discuss the regaining of the lost dominion, in which Enceladus, like Moloch,[1] pronounces his sentence for open war, and Oceanus, like Belial,[2] stands for more moderate measures. Externally, at least, this is modelled on Paradise Lost, and marks a clear break with the loose and incoherent struc-ure of Endymion.
Keatsian Originality of Style Despite the Debt to Milton
In spite of its fragmentary condition, Hyperion remains Keats's most imposing piece of work. According to the publishers, 'the hostile reception given to Endymion discouraged Keats from continuing with the poem. Keats himself said that he gave it up because of the excessive Miltonism of the style. "There were too many Miltonic inversions in it", he wrote to Reynolds. "Miltonic verse cannot be written but in an artful or rather in an artist's humour." The Miltonic influence is certainly obvious in the verse and diction of the first Hyperion as it is in the design. There is, for instance, a constant use of inversions ("stride colossal", "rest divine") typical of Milton's Latinized style. Especially noticeable is the trick of sandwiching a noun between two adjectives ("gold clouds metropolitan"). There are other fragmsnts of classical sentence-structure too:
save what solemn tubes,
Blown by the serious Zephyrs, gave of sweet
And wandering sounds, slow-breathed melodies.
Blown by the serious Zephyrs, gave of sweet
And wandering sounds, slow-breathed melodies.
But the poem is hardly Miltonic in any stricter sense. In the matter of rhythm, Keats's blank verse has not the flight of Milton's. "Its periods do not wheel through such stately evolutions to so solemn and far-foreseen close; though it indeed lacks neither power nor music." It is still the verse of Keats, but immensely purged and strengthened by contact with a severer master. Some of the most beautiful images in their delicacy and precision are utterly unlike Milton's generalised verbal grandeur, and indeed could be by nobody but Keats:
. . . .No stir of air was there
Not so much life as on a summer's day
Robs not one light seed from the feather'd grass,
But where the dead leaf fell, there did it rest. (1, 7-10)
Not so much life as on a summer's day
Robs not one light seed from the feather'd grass,
But where the dead leaf fell, there did it rest. (1, 7-10)
Books I and II. The Speeches of Oceanus and Clyniene
The first book of Hyperion gives us a picture of the fallen Titans, with Saturn as the central figure, but Hyperion as the only one who remains even potentially active. The second book shows them in council and the vital part of it is undoubtedly the speech of Oceanus. The sum and substance of his speech is as follows:
My voice is not a bellows unto ire.
Yet listen, ye who will, whilst I bring proof
How ye, perforce, must be content to stoop:
And in this proof much comfort will I give,
If ye will take that comfort in its truth.
We fall by course of Nature's law, not force
Of thunder, or of Jove. (11,176-82)
Saturn was not the first power in the universe, and should not expect to be the last. Chaos and darkness produced light; light brought heaven and earth and life itself into existence; and the Titans were the first-born of life. Just as heaven and earth are more beautiful than chaos and darkness,
So on our heels a fresh perfection treads,
A power more strong in beauty, born of us
And fated to excel us. … (11, 212-15)
The Titans should not grieve over the situation and should not envy their successors
. . . .for 'tis the eternal law,
That first in beauty shall be first in might. (11, 228-29)
That first in beauty shall be first in might. (11, 228-29)
The simple Clyniene follows and supports Oceanus by bearing testimony to the beauty of young Apollo's music which she has heard. The lesson of all this is that Hyperion is to be a poem of evolution, of the super-session of lower forms by higher; and that the successors are to prevail because they are superior in beauty.
Apollo, the Subject of Book III
In the fragment of the third book the interest shifts from the Titans to the young Apollo. Mnemosyne (Memory) alone among the Titans has formed relations with the younger gods. She has watched over the childhood of Apollo, and now she finds him wavering and uncertain of his course. In his talk with her he finds the consciousness of his destiny and assumes his new-found godhead. At this point the poem breaks off.
Reasons Why the Poem Could not be Completed
It seems that what began as an epic poem about a mythological conflict has become a symbolical poem of a different kind. But in the process new difficulties have arisen for the poet. The conventional epic conflict would have afforded a wealth of scenes and incidents. The new scheme, of an evolution in beauty, presents far greater problems. It could hardly be put forth in events and actions, and would not therefore afford material for the ten books originally proposed. Perhaps there were other difficulties as well. The poem remains unfinished because Keats did not know how it was to go on.
Treatment of Greek Things, But Not in a Greek Manner
Although Keats has been called a Greek, he does not write of Greek things in a Greek manner. The very description of the palace of Hyperion, with its vague, far-dazzling pomps and phantom terrors of coming doom, shows that. Keats is here far in workmanship from the Greek purity and precision of outline, and from definition of individual images. Some of his pictures of Nature, too, show not the simplicity of the Greek, but the complexity of the modern, sentiment of Nature. But Keats shows a thorough grasp of the essential meaning of the war between Titans and Olympians. He illustrates with great beauty and force (in the speech of Oceanus in the second book) that essential meaning : the dethronement of an older and ruder worship by one more advanced and humane, in which ideas of ethics and of arts held a larger place beside ideas of Nature and her brute powers.
Keats's Success in Animating the Colossal Gods
Again, Keats attains great success in conceiving and animating the colossal shapes of the early gods. He shows a masterly instinct in the choice of comparisons, drawn from Nature by which he tries to make us realise the voices of those gods, with their personalities between the elemental and the human.
A Dramatic Representation of Human Emotions
Indeed, Hyperion is Keats's most serious and considerable attempt at the dramatic presentation of emotion, because the Titans are conceived in human terms, and their sorrows are human sorrows. There is far greater power, too, of discourse, of argument in verse, than ever before; there is no parallel in Keats's earlier work to the speech of Oceanus.
Sublimity of Book I, and Intensity of Book III
The second book of Hyperion, relating the council of the dethroned Titans, has neither the sublimity of the first, nor the intensity of the unfinished third. In the first book we have a solemn vision of the fallen Saturn, followed by a resplendent vision of Hyperion threatened in his empire. In the third book we see Apollo undergoing a convulsive change under the afflatus of Mnemosyne, and about to put on the full powers of his godhead. But the third book has a ripeness and controlled power of its own which places it quite on a level with the other two.
One of the Grandest English Poems
"With a few slips and inequalities, and one or two instances of verbal incorrectness, Hyperion is indeed one of the grandest poems in the English language, and in its grandeur seems one of the easiest and most spontaneous. Keats, however, had never been able to apply himself to it continuously, but only by fits and starts. Partly this was due to the distractions of bereavement, of material anxiety, and of dawning passion amid which it was begun and continued: partly (if we may trust the statement of the publishers) to disapointment at the reception of Endymion; and partly, it is clear, to something not wholly congenial to his powers in the task itself."
Important Note. Wherever Hyperion is printed in italics or within inverted commas, the reference is to the poem; and wherever Hyperion is printed in the ordinary type or without inverted commas, the reference is to the sun-god.
For instance: Hyperion is an epic poem. Or, "Hyperion" bears a Miltonic stamp.
In both these cases the poem is meant.
But: Hyperion had begun to feel apprehensive of a threat to his security.
Here the sun-god is being referred to.

"We were wearing IWC before we even met with IWC, so it was kind of like a dream come true." Such was the sentiment echoed by Maxwell Osborne, one-half of the fashion world darlings, together with Dao-Yi Chao, that comprise the New York-based fashion label Public School. So it was fitting that on Wednesday, on the rooftop of the Nomad Hotel, the designers helped IWC Schaffhausen usher in its new Portofino 37 timepiece collection.
As part of their testimonial to the brand, and to showcase the versatility of this new women's watch collection, the luxury Swiss watch brand tapped Osborne and Chao to star in a trio of videos, each conveying a different style: Nighttime Cool, Sporty Elegance, and Professional Chic. A momentous occasion, indeed, as IWC North American brand president Edouard d'Arbaumont was quick to point out that the brand has been making men's watches from day one.
"I'm sure you've heard our headline, 'IWC is engineered for men,'" he said. "It's true that the roots of the brand are technical, well-crafted watches for men, but over time out watches have been increasingly appreciated by women." Ladies, in fact, comprise 25 percent of IWC's watch sales. Now, as d'Arbaumont adds, "we have a smaller watch for a smaller wrist."
And while the designers sported some enviable masculine IWC watches (Chao in the Portugieser Handwound 8 Days Edition 75th Anniverary in stainless steel and Osborne in a Portugieser Automatic in rose gold), all eyes were on the Portofino 37.
At Watches & Wonders in Hong Kong last month, IWC introduced three new models to its Portofino collection, recognized for its vintage-inspired dials and round, polished cases. They included the Hand-Wound Day & Date in stainless steel and rose gold; the Automatic Moon Phase and two new Portofino Automatic 37 models with color straps including blue and raspberry.
Often times—the watch world being no exception—partnerships can feel forced or, worse, contrived. Not so here. IWC was an early partner with the Public School designers, showcasing its watches at their runway show and developing a line of communication in 2013, well before their meteoric rise that has, in the last year, seen a luggage collaboration with Tumi and being named co-creative directors of DKNY.
The organic energy didn't just come from a mutual love of watches. Both brands started out in the men's sphere and found themselves only recently expanding into women's. "When you think about it, Public School, you started out a little bit like us," d'Arbaumont said. "You were first famous for your menswear collection and now you are famous with your womenswear collection, even more with DKNY."
The videos debuted Thursday on YouTube, IWC.com, and both IWC and Public School's social channels.

Beyond Architecture
alphabetical by first name
Anh Tran
Anh is a self-professed design nerd and Girl of All Work for the DC office of Little. Specializing in visioning documentation and analysis and design metrics, Anh is currently pursuing her Master of Architecture degree, with an interest in the effect of culture on expression of built environments. She has a serious vendetta against Comic Sans, and can be found on Twitter as @anharchy.
Ashley Spinks
Ashley spends life looking through a camera...capturing and communicating moments in a new and unfamiliar way. In this means of organizing the world around her, she also found the emotional power of architecture and design. Ashley is an artist, designer, mother and yogi.
Becca Bellamy
Becca is a senior interior designer at Little and is fascinated by the way we interact with Space. She enjoys working on a variety of projects and being involved with all facets of the design process. When not running around in the office, you can find Becca on a mountain bike trail during fine weather or in her painting studio during inclement weather.
Beth Buffington
Beth is an architect at Little who loves creating living and learning environments where college/university students can excel. Now that she's an empty nester, Beth's husband keeps encouraging her to spend more time doing other things she enjoys: gardening, bee keeping and traveling. Her three dogs, however, have entirely different plans for her.
Bruce Barteldt
Bruce has advanced as a leader and design thinker with the singular goal of subsidizing his Guitar Acquisition Syndrome (G.A.S.). An avid Space Cadet, living life at the intersection of futurism and realism, Bruce relishes opportunities to reconcile the ridiculous and the sublime – causing his family and Little's Retail Practice, which he leads, great bewilderment and/or entertainment value. And causing Bruce to buy more guitars.
Bryan Starr
Bryan is an engineer by day and superhero dad to his numerous small children by night. While most comfortable at the top of a Colorado mountain (just pick one, he'll gleefully climb it), he moved back East to reacquaint himself with the land of his forefathers. Bryan joined Little in 2013 as the firm's Structural Engineering Studio Principal.
Carol Rickard
Carol is a blogger and architect at Little. She's a foodie, and is endlessly curious about how design affects humans, both psychologically and physically, and has a thing for gardens. Carol is President of Little's DC office. Follow her on Twitter @WineDarkC.
Carrie Estock
Carrie is an interior designer at Little and a green living advocate. She likes to emphasize efficient space planning and creative use of materials/details. A mother of three, Carrie spends her free time coaching soccer, volunteering for the United Way Young Leaders and actively participating in the PTO HUGG (Help Us Go Green) committee she started.
Coby Watts
Coby is a digital artist who believes in a quality product, no hidden agendas and a firm handshake. He thinks in visual terms and seeks to uncover the creative storyline that lives in every project. When not engaged in artistry, Coby enjoys spending quality time fishing with quality people soaking in the quality air.
Dan Gill
As a father of four, softball coach, drummer and husband to a fellow engineer, it's easy to imagine that Dan doesn't have a whole lot of spare time on his hands. But on those rare occasions when the stars align just right, you might be able to find him on the back nine, playing softball or out and about admiring shiny hot rods.
Daniel Montano
Daniel wears many hats – dad, soccer coach, designer, strategist and mentor. When not tinkering in his garden, he is reading the latest futurist book and glued to the science channel. Daniel, who has been seen speaking at retail conferences in Spanish, English…and at times Spanglish, is in search of a unified experience formula to resolve the challenges presented by today's accelerated rate of change.
Dave Powlen
Dave is a landscape architect who enjoys having the greenest lawn on the block. He is an avid college football fan (Let's Go PSU!) who still dreams of being the first landscape architect on the moon. David is the Land Development Studio Principal at Little.
Doug Robidoux
Doug has a passion for architecture that is focused on solving his clients' business needs. A native of the Big Easy, he spends his free time quietly sitting on the sidelines at his kids' sporting events, fixing all things broken in his tranquil neighborhood or trying desperately to get a small white ball into a tiny hole 400+ yards away with a stick. Doug is president of Little's Los Angeles office.
Elaine O'Brien
A silent, yet deadly member of Little's marketing team, Elaine dreams in black and white and Pantone 179. Her workday is filled balancing text, imagery and white space, and playtime consists of annoying Facebook posts of her overweight sausage dog Everett and building crazy-awesome forts with her 5-year-old daughter Lilly.
James Farnell
James is a designer with a passion for problem solving that came from crafting furniture and products in the workshops of England to creating more than 75 brand experiences in over 12 countries. He lives a life informed by his experiences of international cultures and the joy of living by the coast – from the East Coast of Yorkshire, to Australia, Singapore and now in California. Follow James on Twitter @farnelljames
Jason Bizzaro
Jason is the senior architectural visualizer for Little. He communicates ideas by making pictures. When pictures don't communicate well enough, he makes up new things that will…then makes those things. Jason hopes to, one day, make a thing that will make things for him. Then he'll just sit back and look at all the things he's made.
Jeff Roman
Ironically, as a self-proclaimed "non-engineer" engineer, Jeff Roman leads Little's engineering team. Perhaps this explains his lifelong love of Legos, which he still enjoys with his two young boys. When he's not rooting for Michigan or Florida (but never Florida State), he can be found winning fantasy baseball or brushing up on his Superman trivia.
Jim Thompson
Jim Thompson: design addict, voracious reader, artist, collector, historian, teacher, father of 3. When at his day job leading design at Little, Jim is at the crossroads of strategic thinking, research, education and design and how this leads, informs and creates meaning in the built environment. In other words: do, say and make something that matters!
Jim Williams
Jim is so severely right-brained he tends to lean that direction when he walks. He thinks by drawing and always has a sketchbook (or three) in hand – except when he's on one of his cycling trips. Jim enjoys imagining with others what's possible and what he calls "new invention". He values his family and is proud of his three unique children. Jim, Little's National Director of Design, is often told that he bears a close resemblance to Zoolander.
John Komisin
John is an architect and President/COO at Little. He seeks truth, beauty and the meaning of life with oil on canvas and numbers on spreadsheets. The constant warring between the two sides of his brain exacts a terrible toll on those around him.
John Walker
John believes the best things in life are simple. He enjoys traveling to see and photograph the natural beauty of America. He thinks all condiments lead to a waste of otherwise perfectly good food (with the obvious exception of BBQ sauce). And he knows the best way to create innovative design is to work with a group of highly talented good people with no egos to get in the way - which is why he has found his home at Little.
Kelley Bozarth
Sketching the world as she moves through it, Kelley lives an action-packed life filled with road trips, skydiving adventures, hiking, cooking and painting. Her background in interior architecture and love of the creative process have led her into a career in environmental graphics.
Kelly Thompson
Beginning her communications career in television broadcasting, Kelly ditched the idea of fame and fortune – but remains convinced that fortune will come from her occasional purchase of a lottery ticket. A member of Little's marketing team and mom of three tykes, Kelly is known to put on a toe tapping, finger snapping clogging performance when the empty soda cans wedged on her feet fit just right.
Ken Edwards
Ken is an architect by day and a husband and father by night. Although he takes his architect hat off when he gets home, his proclivity for "less is more" is challenged with four females in the house; albeit one is a dog and one is a cat. Ken loves conversation where he can interject his p.u.n.n.y sense of humor and make those around him laugh. When he finds a spare moment or two, he reads, gardens and creates artwork out of wood.
Luis Hernandez
Luis is a "Guajiro" from Camaguey, Cuba who more than 30 years ago gave up a potentially lucrative career as a lounge singer to practice his passion as an interior designer. Avoid his coming to your house, he will rearrange your furniture while muttering in bad Spanish. Luis is Director of Design for Interiors in Little's Washington, DC office.
Melissa McDougall
As a member of Little's super creative marketing team, Melissa works best when juggling multiple projects at once, which is ironic because chances are good that she'd be seriously injured by trying to literally juggle anything at all. With a passion for photography and a love for entertaining and all things culinary, she feels most at home as the host of the party.
Nancy Everhart
When not tempering her proclivity to drink the South's finest sweet tea (with the ever important lemon!), Nancy displaces her passions on other vices such as building her shoe wear collection. She exhibits this same passion at work as Little's expert in retail banking and other service retail industries, where she is renowned for consistently exceeding client expectations.
Nicole Rehfuss
Nicole is the ultimate consumer and retail is her muse. Visual merchandising, store design, consumer and trend research have been her passion for the last 18 years, helping define many of Little's most successful retail projects…but her three young children hold the key to her heart (and her wallet).
Nikki Mueller
Nikki can usually be found laughing at inappropriate times, making ridiculous facial expressions, conjuring puns and corny jokes... and of course adding creativity to company marketing materials. She is also an avid art-food-music-sports-lover in constant search of the next exhibit, gastropub, indie artist or FIFA World Cup game.
Phil Kuttner
Phil is an architect, husband and father who likes spending time around funny people with big ideas and reading about people who accomplish amazing things. Phil is CEO of Little. Feel free to drop him a line at email@example.com
Phil Tackett
Phil is the Director of Planning at Little and believes it is an exciting time to work at the intersection of real estate strategy and implementation. When not serving clients, or off on his motorcycle, he serves the non-profit community; including 15 years with The Lupus Foundation and time as a mentor, coach, algebra teacher, builder and more.
Rachel Ritchie
A technology buff schooled in architecture, Rachel's a natural at training, equipping and trouble-shooting IT for the right-brainers at Little. Fortifying others is her forte – whether it's the architects and engineers at the office or her family. An organic vegetable gardener and fresh creative cook, she also enjoys genealogy research and is an avid world traveler.
Rebecca Sistruck
Rebecca is a Workplace Strategist at Little, always connecting the dots between clients' business drivers and strategies that support mobility and balance in the workplace. A working mom of two beautiful children, she loves to plan and solve for all the moving parts! Writing and poetry is her new found passion, which goes hand in hand with her preference for the journey over the destination.
Rich Glenny
Rich is a designer who loves to sketch and solve problems. At Little, he gets to do both at the same time as part of the Retail team. Rich finds his inspiration from the arts and the great outdoors.
Roger Wilkerson
A rare Charlotte native with heart that bleeds Clemson orange, Roger is a healthcare principal for Little. When he's not competing in triathlons, out communing with nature as he hunts or catching up on his reading, he can usually be found by following the sound of laughter coming from his family of six.
Santiago Crespo
Santiago is an amateur geek who aspires to find the meaning of good design by connecting the dots between technology, human behavior and perception. He designs signs, among other things, at his day job as leader of Little's Branded Graphics team.
Scott Brideau
Scott is Workplace Studio Principal for Little's Washington, DC office where he is consistently voted "Best Shoes". An enthusiastic golfer, biker, hiker and somewhat reluctant Masters Rower, he recently picked up his guitar after a 30 year hiatus and is getting the band back together. Scott is on the Advisory Board for Arlington County's Community Energy Plan and the Sustainability Programs Committee for ULI.
Shana Paschal
Shana is a senior designer at Little with a passion for learning. She is inquisitive about how our built and natural environment teaches us every day. When not gloating about her alma mater LSU winning in football, Shana can be found outside bird watching or teaching kids how to live green.
Shannon Rydell
Shannon is a husband and doting father of two girls … and he also happens to practice architecture. Passionate about education research and design, he leads the College + University Studio in the Charlotte office. His family is his first love, but watching college football is a close second – this often makes for a conflicted Fall season in his house.
Susan Hensey
Susan is a 'fellow' architect with a unique background of using CAFM technology to help big clients manage their facilities. She recently blasted into the blogosphere with posts highlighting her adventures in Southern California, which is a great combo for this witty wine-yoga-family loving hippie-chick who always has a story…or a bazillon to share! (WARNING: She tends to tell the same stories over and over, but they get better every time!) Susan leads Little's FM Strategies studio.
Tina Howell
Tina is a compulsive indoor cyclist, yoga convert, doting aunt, and avid reader with not enough time to do it. She enjoys clever people (which is why she works at Little), hearty belly laughs, visits to obscure locations and juicy hamburgers. Tina leads Little's Marketing efforts, and remains intrigued, challenged and motivated by the dynamic nature of her profession.
Tom Balke
When not learning more about how to create truly innovative and inspiring K-12 educational places, Tom is experiencing the boundless wonder of the world around him with wife Sheri and son Ben. As an elementary school student he looked forward to PE class and his PB+J lunch, but these days Tom looks forward to sharing ice cold beverages with friends.
Tom Carlson-Reddig
Tom is an architect, painter, educator and world traveler who has authored and illustrated books on those experiences. He sketches daily, drawing from his experiences, but is always seeking better ways to solve design problems. Though he now carries an iPad, his sketchbook is forever by his side. Tom is a Studio Principal at Little.
Tomas Eliaeson
Tomas, a Design Director at Little, has been a hybrid before hybrid was cool. Born and raised in Spain, with a Scandinavian design-sense through his mother, educated in larger than life Texas and adopted by North Carolina, Tomas utilizes the mix of cultures in the design of community environments, from education to civic. He is highly passionate about the intermingling of design, technology and typology in rethinking environments for the 21st century.
Trey Tillman
Trey is a member of the marketing team with a soft spot for black and white photography, post-modern literature, podcasts and chewy sprees. Although fond of people, he prefers his dog, Peanut, over the vast majority of the population and seeks to add the word anticippointment into the general lexicon.

This morning is a kind
Of bright stab wound
Edging near the heart.
I follow the tilting pines
As they bend their masts
To the green rush of wind,
As the old, sun-dried skulls
Of strange animals
Disrupt the comfortable splendor,
My familiar province,
With their fantastic deaths.
I want to learn to whet the metaphor,
Make keen the forest's unreal shadows,
Touch the ghosts of the elder cedars.
Like Bryant's primal temple
I want to sink into the sleep
Of roots and sinews,
Partake of whatever elevating prayer
The dirt is always lifting
Into the soaking light.

Lab tests awaited in fatal shot
State Police study to aid reconstruction of teen's death, official says
FORT EDWARD — Police have sent the shotgun that killed a 13-year-old boy earlier this month for forensic testing, hoping the results will tell them who fired the fatal shot and help them determine whether anyone will face charges in the connection with the boy's death.
The fired shell from the shotgun blast that killed Gary Cota on June 5 was also sent for testing at the State Police crime lab in Albany, Sgt. Justin Derway said.
"We're waiting on the results so we can do a full scene reconstruction," Derway said. "Basically, to figure out what led to the discharge."
Cota was killed on a Tuesday night at his Keating Avenue home when the shotgun went off while he was in his room with a friend from school.
Police also do not know how the ammunition got into the house. Derway said police have been told by relatives that they did not keep ammunition for the gun in the home. The round that killed the eighth-grader was the only one found at the scene.
The gun, a Rossi 12-gauge, single-shot shotgun, had been given to the victim as a Christmas gift in 2010, said Derway, who added that until earlier this year the firearm had been kept at one of the boy's relatives' houses in Plattsburgh.
In New York, children 12 or older are allowed to possess a rifle or shotgun as long as they use it for hunting or target shooting.
The other boy who was in the room with Cota when he was shot talked to police immediately after the shooting, but his family has not allowed him to speak with investigators since.
"We're in a tough situation," Derway said. "There are only two people who were in the room. We'll never be able to speak with one of them and right now we can't speak with the other."
Police and Cota's family have both said that the shooting was accidental.
A week after Cota was killed, Fort Edward Police Chief Walt Sanford was inadvertently shot in his hand while cleaning his personal gun at home. Derway has assumed the chief's duties while Sanford is on leave.

Cornerstone exists because of Jesus. We are a people who have been transformed by the gospel, the good news of Jesus Christ. Through Jesus' death and resurrection, God has forgiven us and adopted us into his family. Now, we have a whole new life.
Through the gospel, God redeems us, forgives us, and adopts us into his family. The good news of Jesus' death and resurrection makes each one of us a new creation and gives us a new identity: children of God. This is why we can never think of the church as an organization or a building. The church is actually a family—God's family, filled with redeemed sinners that are now his children.
Through the gospel, God forgives us, adopts us into his family, and makes us his disciples. This means that the church is not just any family. We are a family formed by God—and sent out with a purpose.
The church is a family that ministers to one another, cares for one another, and builds one another up. Each member of the family is a child of God who is uniquely gifted to bless the family and to be a light in our city.
Just like a vine grows best with a good trellis, our church family grows best with good programs. Our programs and ministries are tailored to support the community and mission God has given us.
He and his brilliant wife Edith began a ministry in a Swiss Chalet that they named "L'Abri" which means "Shelter." From the early 1960s to the mid-70s, "L'Abri" was the key destination for hundreds of American and European college students and others who were trying to sort out their faith and their times. The Schaeffers hosted, taught, tutored, argued, and prayed with scores of people. Over two summer sessions, we took a look at Dr. Schaeffer's life, his writing, and his methods of ministry.
This was a 2-part seminar, which met on August 7, 2016, and August 14, 2016.
Jim serves Cornerstone through pastoral care and by overseeing internal ministries and administration.
