Australian Temperament Project
Commencing in 1983, the Australian Temperament Project (ATP) is an ongoing longitudinal study that has followed the development of a large group of Victorian children from infancy to adulthood, and is now following their children. With detailed information collected from 16 waves of data collection, the ATP is one of the longest running studies of its kind in Australia, and one of only a few in the world with information on three generations of family members (i.e., the young people, their parents, and now the young people's children).
The ATP turns 30!
In May 2013, the ATP celebrated its 30th anniversary. A report, highlighting key findings from the first 30 years of the study was launched to coincide with this important milestone.

Also, he's replacing Turiad, who ain't producing much. Losing him is gonna hurt me in the blocks department, but not that much in any other stat.
I agree. Turiad doesn't produce much at all. Actually, I don't think he's even in the NBA.
Yeah, I can understand the typo. D and F are right next to each other.

Playing Warwick PAL for the first time this season, the Flood Auto Connie Mack team kept up its hot start on Saturday.
Flood jumped out to an early lead and used a big fifth inning to break open a tight game and earn an 8-5 victory.
Mike Kiernan started the game on the mound for Flood, followed by Robert Montagano and Matt Colucci. Colucci pitched the final four innings, giving up just one unearned run.
Flood went up 1-0 in the first inning, and then made it 3-0 in the second on a two-run single by Kyle Barbato.
In the fifth, the first three batters reached before Joe Maynard singled in a run, Justin Gist brought another one home with a groundball and Drew Almonte knocked one in with a base hit as well. That made the score 7-2, and Flood held on from there.

The C Spire Experience
Feb 23, 2012 5:00 AM PT
A few weeks ago I visited C Spire Wireless in Ridgeland, Miss. I didn't know what to expect. It's gone through quite a few changes recently; however, I have to say it was a delightful surprise. They were impressive and friendly.
I met with the senior executives, they showed me around, we toured a retail store, they explained their strategy and answered my questions. Let me share with you some of what I learned on that visit. It is very interesting indeed.
Then in my Pick of the Week, let's take another look at LightSquared. Is it curtains for them? Not yet.
A Talk With C Spire
In 1988 it started out as Cellular South. Recently it moved its headquarters to a brand new building in Richmond, which is in a very upscale new business, shopping and living area, but that's not all. Actually if you take a closer look at the company you see constant growth and changes.
It recently changed its name to C Spire.
It's now one of only four U.S. wireless carriers to sell the Apple iPhone. It's started a unique and popular rewards program to get closer to their customers. It has the largest smartphone customer base. It's one of a very few who still has unlimited pricing plans, and more.
To tell you the truth, I learned that neighbors seemed to love C Spire. There was a connection unlike what is found at carriers like Verizon Wireless, AT&T Mobility and Sprint Nextel.
As one of the smaller carriers, it focuses on building close relationships with customers. It offers lower prices and more benefits. Perhaps it thinks this is something that is needed. Perhaps it is. Either way, it seems to be working.
In addition, its executives and workers get involved with the community, and that may be one reason for its success.
The brand is different from the major, national brands as well. Look at the big competitors. What do you see? Large companies, but impersonal. No connection. Any money spent with them goes out of the community.
The C Spire brand has a neighborly quality about it. The money spent by its customers sticks around the community. Company workers are actually neighbors. Their income stays in the community.
According to customers I talked with, quality is excellent, and so is coverage.
It's a supporter of the local economy, which especially in these uncertain times is a big plus for both them and the community.
As crazy as that sounds, it was a breath of fresh air to visit. It felt good. They are a large, state of the art wireless company, who by the way is also a neighbor.
It has quite a few ideas in the marketplace right now. While that is good, these ideas sometimes fight for attention instead of working together. That needs to be fixed. It needs to tighten their marketing and messaging.
Besides that, it looks to be on the right track. If it wraps its arms around this opportunity, it can transform the C Spire name into a personal brand for customers.
Plans and Schemes
Look at a few things it's doing.
It's expanding its advanced mobile broadband coverage, offering faster Internet connections and improved high-speed data and multimedia to more than 1.3 million customers and businesses.
C Spire has the highest smartphone penetration rate in the U.S. wireless industry. Considering that smartphones are all we hear about from competitors, that is impressive.
Customers love the Apple iPhone. In fact they tell me after switching, they get better connections and in more places throughout the local areas with C Spire. That speaks to the value of focusing on the local market and understanding what the customer wants and where.
It launched personalized wireless services tailored for different, individual customers. This is a valuable idea -- rewarding customers with the rewards they want and choose. This is an impressive offering, although it is a bit confusing.
Will we see this rewards program spread to others in the industry? Perhaps. Then again, I said the same thing when Cingular (AT&T) started offering their 'rollover minutes' years ago, and that didn't spread. So who really knows?
I was also impressed with the management. CEO Hu Meena, Senior VP of Brand Management and Personalization Suzy Hays, and several others I met during the day seemed to understand the challenge from the changing technology and marketplace and larger, national players.
They also seem to understand the opportunity. Like everyone else they struggle with all the issues, both good and bad.
Spectrum Scrap
Let me bring something to your attention. Take a close look at Suzy Hays title again. Vice President of Brand Management and Personalization. Personalization! That says it all doesn't it?
Their thinking is in exactly the right place for this marketplace. I don't know who's idea that was, but great job.
We discussed the looming spectrum shortage for all carriers, and possible solutions. Even AT&T and Verizon are struggling trying to grab as much spectrum as they can.
However, unless we as an industry only want two carriers to choose from, we had better solve this problem and give all carriers "equal access" to all spectrum. Let them all compete on price and quality and service, not spectrum.
We discussed several industry ups and downs and coming challenges, and they have a good understanding of the changing marketplace.
I also noticed how they have an unusually loyal customer base. Not sure why, but this is a strong asset. It will be interesting to watch how they both compete and change the marketplace.
While C Spire is not perfect -- no company is -- I was very impressed with its management, its abilities to compete successfully and lead in their market area while building its personal brand.
In my Pick of the Week, let's take another look at LightSquared. This is the new company with the bold solution for the wireless data spectrum logjam. The idea is great, but with the interference with GPS and navigation, it looks like they are in trouble.
What's next for LightSquared? Phil Falcone started this company with a terrific idea. He saw the burgeoning problem. We are running out of the ability to deliver wireless data services to a rapidly growing customer base because of smartphones.
He wanted to provide wireless broadband to smaller competitors so they could compete with AT&T Mobility and Verizon Wireless. He also wanted to provide additional bandwidth to the big players to fill in their gaps -- and there are plenty of gaps.
The industry-wide problem is still there and growing every day.
As for LightSquared, many say they are now toast. I don't. Whether they will become a real competitor or not is still in question, but the company is by no means done.
They have invested too much money to just walk away. They will try to find solutions. Will they acquire more spectrum? There seems to be plenty being acquired by companies like AT&T Mobility and Verizon Wireless.
So yes, LightSquared is under the gun. But I fully expect LightSquared and Philip Falcone to put up a helluva fight. The rest of this year will be very interesting to watch.

Eli Lake reports on White House deliberations over retaliation for the killing of Amb. Christopher Stevens and other Americans in Benghazi. U.S. intelligence agencies reportedly have compiled a list of suspects in the assault. According to some intelligence officials, there is enough detail to take military action to kill or capture ten of the operatives tied to the planning of the attack.
The administration supposedly is considering whether to pursue these operatives through law enforcement or via military means like drone strikes or special operations. It is also weighing the risk that delay will enable the suspected terrorists to flee against the risk that acting now, before we have more information, will lead to unjustified killings and/or harm our relationship with the Libyan government.
It's difficult to believe that any self-respecting admninistration would treat the response to 9/11 assault in Libya as a law enforcement issue or would let the feelings of the Libyan government drive its decision. And it's difficult to believe that even the Obama administration would do so with the election just around the corner.
If anything is holding Obama back, it may be doubts about the quality of the information it possesses. The intelligence officers who are touting their information to reporters may hold it in higher regard than the policymakers to. They may also differ with policymakers about the feasibility of taking out the bad guys.
The Obama administration does have an interest in concealing, at least for now, the extent to which al Qaeda has taken root in Libya. But that interest would not be undermined by killing the handful of individuals identified as responsible for last month's attack.
Perhaps Obama fears that targeting terrorists in Libya would cause new deadly attacks on American interests, including new attacks in Egypt, where al Qaeda is also taking root. Maybe, on balance, Obama would rather keep a lid on the situation, at least until after the election.
But don't be surprised if Obama seeks retribution before the election. And, assuming he doesn't bungle it, give him credit for taking action, just as we would in the case of a Republican president.

A heinous record: Some 750 Norwegian Jews were sent to Nazi concentration camps
Norway regularly tops surveys of wealth and wellbeing. The 2012 Legatum Prosperity Index last month ranked it the most prosperous nation on earth.
For many people, however, the first image that now comes to mind when they think of Norway is the Breivik massacre. The 77 victims who died on July 22, 2011 were mostly young supporters of the ruling Labour party, which the far-right gunman Anders Behring Breivik accused of permitting the country's "Islamisation".
Norway could soon come top of another ranking: as the first country in Europe to be Judenfrei or Judenrein (the Nazi terms for the ethnic cleansing of Jews).
Anti-Semitism in Norway has become such a serious threat that many Jews are emigrating to Israel and elsewhere to escape it. Human rights activists, police and leaders of the rapidly shrinking Jewish community fear that soon, for the first time in centuries, Jews will have no visible presence in Norway at all.
I travelled to Norway last month with an open mind about the plight of the Jews and the rumours of the growing hostility toward them. As a leftwing critic of Zionism, of mixed Jewish and Catholic heritage, I was sceptical about the claims in some of the Israeli and alternative Norwegian press about the rise in anti-Semitism being the result of searching for scapegoats. What I found was a mixture of cowardly cultural relativism, examples of rabid Jew-hatred and a liberal Left that had joined forces with radical Islamists.
Norway has a history of anti-Semitism dating back to before the Second World War. Many Norwegians collaborated during the five-year Nazi occupation and the Quisling regime, and about a third of all Jews—some 750 out of 2,100—were sent to concentration camps. But the prevailing view is that, until recently, Jews had existed alongside gentiles without too much fuss.
Estimates of the number of Jews in Norway range from 800 to 1,200 out of a total population of five million. It is hard to be precise because of an increasing tendency of Norwegian Jews to distance themselves from their community and to live outside the remaining cultural and religious centres.

text: Little 2012 Corn Priced April 8, 2012 08:13 PM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Sara Schafer Top Producer Editor Email Almost half of farmers have none of this year's corn crop priced or sold according to a recent Farm Journal Pulse. Even though some farmers are getting a jump-start on planting corn this year, few have priced or sold it. (See which states have planted corn this spring with AgWeb's Corn Planting Map.) According to this week's Farm Journal Pulse, a text message poll of farmers and ranchers, 45% of respondents have none of their 2012 corn production sold or priced, while another 30% have less than 25% priced. More than 1,350 farmers replied to the question: How much of your 2012 corn production is sold or priced? Here are the results: Why Isn't the Corn Priced? Paul Georgy, president/CEO of Allendale, Inc., says he believes there are two reasons more farmers don't have their 2012 corn production priced. "Farmers are worried about the dryness throughout the Corn Belt and old-crop corn is strengthening." Georgy says farmers know the U.S. has tight supplies in old-crop corn. "So, farmers are saying they aren't going to make a mistake again by selling it early. Farmers are very bullish." In a typical year, Allendale believes farmers on average would be 25% sold. So, the 45% who have none of their crop priced should be noted. "Rather than surprising, that's probably risky," Georgy says of those with none priced. Rich Nelson, Allendale's director of research, says most producers are optimistic right now, even amid the large acreage increase coming. "We are coming off of two years of yield losses and are producers are still getting high prices for last year's crop. They need to see the crop coming out of the ground and for prices to fall hard before they believe the bearish 2012 scenario." Nelson encourages producers to price their corn crop as soon as possible, due to favorable weather forecasts. "We would easily recommend at least 40% sold by this point."

Jack Riewoldt will play for Richmond in Saturday's clash with Greater Western Sydney having managed to avoid the axe threatened by Damien Hardwick, but only after being chastised by senior club officials for speaking out of school about the effectiveness of the Tigers' game plan.
Riewoldt was spoken to after training on Thursday by Hardwick, CEO Brendon Gale and Dan Richardson, all of whom stressed the importance of maintaining a united front during what is a difficult period for the struggling club.
Earlier on Thursday, Hardwick had indicated that Riewoldt's spot in the side could be in jeopardy as a result of his assertion that the Tigers had spent too much time trying to play in the mould of reigning premiers Hawthorn.
"Obviously we were pretty disappointed with his comments, we caught up with him this morning, and we've moved his foot from his mouth and my foot from his arse," Hardwick said.
"We sit here and talk about being a united footy club, and Jack went outside those boundaries. We've got a match committee this afternoon, his form's been OK, whether we take any of this into account we'll see this afternoon," Hardwick said.
Light-heartedly agreeing with a suggestion that Riewoldt should have continued his early-season media ban, Hardwick emphasised that the dual Coleman medallist was aware he had erred.
"Jack understands what he's said, and probably by his own admission would say he buggered that one up," Hardwick said. "I don't think he actually knew what he was saying. It was one of those interviews where he constantly got himself deeper and deeper in trouble. He's remorseful, he doesn't actually know why he's said it."
Hardwick contended that he had not implemented any major tactical overhaul in the pre-season.
"Our game plan's our game plan, it's been the same for about three to four years and we have subtle changes with that, so from our point of view some things have worked, some things haven't," he said.
Riewoldt admitted the folly of his ways late on Thursday afternoon via Twitter.
"Poor choice of words by me yesterday and poor timing. I've copped my right whack and moved on, can't wait to play this weekend #gotiges," he tweeted.
The tweet came not long after Riewoldt used novel means to avoid the media scrum awaiting him outside Punt Road, jumping the fence at Richmond club headquarters and taking the train home, leaving his car to be retrieved later.
Richmond made three changes to the team beaten by Melbourne last Saturday, with Matt Thomas, Dylan Grimes and Matt Dea replacing injured David Astbury and Nick Vlastuin, along with Sam Lloyd who has been omitted.
The Giants regain ruckman Shane Mumford and key forward Jeremy Cameron as part of seven alterations made to the side thumped by West Coast a fortnight ago. Dual Geelong premiership player Josh Hunt has been dropped, while Toby Greene will serve the first week of his five-game club imposed suspension.
Having slumped to 2-6 and above only the Giants and Brisbane Lions on the ladder, the Tigers have faced immense scrutiny this week. Hardwick believed it was the toughest point of his four-and-a-half year tenure at the club, but suggested that setbacks were inevitable.
"It was never going to be a linear progression, we've improved every year, there was always going to be a bump in the road at some stage, and funnily enough you find out a little bit about yourself and your footy club at that stage. We've just got to make sure we work through it, we find out a lot about what drives us, what gets us better," he said.
Mumford returns from a five-match injury layoff, and Hardwick is all too aware of the former Cat and Swans' impact around stoppages, highlighted by the fact that GWS has failed to register a victory in his absence.
"He's a very good player, it's amazing how a certain player can give a quality of play to a team," Hardwick said of Mumford after joking that he hoped someone kicked the robust Giant in the calf and prevented him from playing on the weekend.
Brett Deledio hinted on Monday that the Tigers may have subconsciously fallen victim to complacency this year following their breakthrough finals appearance of 2013. Hardwick said he would be disappointed if that was the case, detailing how the side had spoken in the aftermath of the elimination final loss to Carlton about the need to avoid falling into that trap.
The backlash towards Richmond was severe after the defeat against the Demons, but it will reach another stratosphere should the Tigers suffer their first loss to GWS. But Hardwick was not thinking of the consequences should that occur, contending that the club's strong leadership - in particular president Peggy O'Neal and Gale - ensured that stability would be maintained regardless of the outcome at Spotless Stadium.

I think I made my son sound more obnoxious than I meant to, in yesterday's post. The whole "OF COURSE I" whatever is such a put-on that I find it really amusing. He uses this voice that's not quite his, a sort of a mock-yell, and he quickly reverts to his charming self. It's sort of our schtick, that I ask the questions I'm not supposed to ask and in return he's indignant. In general, I've made it a goal of mine to not complain about my son in this venue—it just doesn't feel fair to him anymore, now that he's growing up (despite my best efforts) and not a baby with the typical baby issues. So. Okay!
On Monday Henry was sick-ish—just unwell enough to spike a fever right before school started, but then well enough to spend the next three hours demanding playground time. I denied him the playground, because I am a Cruel Woman who does not want him to have Fun on the days he is Afflicted with a Malady, but it was a beautiful day and I got stir-crazy so I suggested taking the dog for a walk.
Henry agreed, and took the camera. He took many photos that look just like this one:
But then I suggested he take a picture of Charlie, and he really got some good shots, if I do say so myself.
I like this extreme close-up of Charlie blissed out on whatever godawful substance he located on this tree. .5 seconds later, he peed on it.
Then Henry gave me the camera, and I watched him and Charlie running amok in the park.
Doesn't he look sick?
I would have been more upset about the lost half-day of freedom if my son wasn't such good company. (Most of the time.) Not that I was unhappy to see him off to school the next day. Sorry, kid, but mama's got to have her writing time, else she goes crazy. Thank you for understanding.

The Harvard College Class of 2014 gathered at Wednesday's Class Day Exercises in Tercentenary Theater to listen as Sheryl K. Sandberg '91 called upon them to be open to criticism and "see the truth and speak the truth" about discrimination in society today.
In her address, Sandberg—COO of Facebook, former vice president for global online sales and operations for Google, and most recently, author of the acclaimed book, "Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead"—drew upon her time as a student at the College and her experiences as a woman in a male-dominated workplace.
"The world was not equal then, and it is not equal now," Sandberg said about the state of gender equality during her time as an undergraduate and in contemporary society.
She recalled being invited to speak at an all-male club in California and declining the offer on the grounds that she would not speak in front of any group that would not have her as a member. After she encouraged the club to reconsider their males-only policy, she remembered, club members had replied that these policies would change "eventually."
"Our expectations are too low. Eventually needs to become immediately," Sandberg said, drawing applause from the crowd.
Despite the overcast weather, many College seniors, along with their friends and relatives, packed into Tercentenary Theater for the ceremony, which kicked off with remarks from the first Class Marshal, Jennifer Q. Zhu '14. Interim Dean of the College Donald H. Pfister took the podium after Zhu.
Reflecting on his short tenure as dean of the College, Pfister welcomed the seniors into his "extended classroom," detailing the history of the trees that once thrived in the Yard and how, like the Yard itself, seniors too had changed over their four years at Harvard.
Quoting J. R. R. Tolkien's poem "All that is Gold Does Not Glitter," Pfister asked students to "find the gold that does not glitter" and wander but "always come home" in their post-Harvard careers.
During the ceremony, two students, Majahonkhe M. Shabangu '14 and Sarah A. Rosenkrantz '14 were awarded Richard Glover and Henry Russell Ames Memorial prizes for their excellence in leadership and character.
Senior gift committee co-chair Arleen Y.Q. Chien '14 announced that 78 percent of graduating seniors participated in Senior Gift, the fifth highest percentage in the College's history.
In addition to Sandberg and Pfister, four undergraduates also spoke during the exercises, reflecting on success at Harvard and how they might take their experiences and transmit them into the future.
Adam J. Conner '14, a former Crimson business editor, shared personal and humorous anecdotes about how his ultimately unfulfilled aspirations to join social organizations, maintain a high GPA, and score a prestigious job out of college may appear to be obvious failures but do not necessarily indicate that he had "failed Harvard."
He cautioned the assembled crowd of the dangers of dwelling on their failures, and instead implored them to "start focusing on success."

Hoelzer led all batters with four hits in four trips to the plate Wednesday night in a 7-4 win over Tennessee-Martin Skyhawks at Ken Dugan Field at Stephen L. Marsh Stadium. He also had a single in the ninth inning in his only trip to the plate Tuesday night in the 13-10 loss to Vanderbilt. He did not play in the three-game series this past weekend with Florida Gulf Coast. On April 13 he had one hit in two trips to the plate against Tennessee.
"We have been trying to work T.J. in," Forehand said. "I told T.J. and the infielders that I wanted to get him in the game, but that means that an older guy has to move out. He got four hits and made all the plays at short.
"He is going to be a good addition for us. We've got five guys who can play second, short and third and one of them is going to be the designated hitter. We will see how he works out this weekend."
The Bisons beat the Skyhawks, an Ohio Valley Conference team, 4-1 March 3. The Skyhawks slipped to 18-18 on the season. The Bisons jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the second inning. They added one in both the fourth and the sixth and two in the eighth.
The Skyhawks never led in the game with two runs in the sixth, both on a home run to right by Brent Morris. They scored one each in the seventh and ninth innings.
"We got off to a good start and then we kind of slowed down," Forehand said. "We didn't put the runs up like we have been but we got 12 hits. Our offense is still coming around."
Wednesday night the Bisons pounded out 12 hits, but capitalized on two passed balls and one wild pitch to get three of their runs.
In the second inning Ryan Wilkins went to first base after being hit by a pitch and moved around the bases on a single by Hoelzer. He scored on a passed ball. In the fourth inning Hoelzer reached base with a single up the middle. He moved to second on a wild pitch and to third on a sacrifice by Logan Hostettler. Hoelzer then scored on a passed ball.
In the sixth Hoelzer led off the inning with a single to center. He moved to third on a pair of ground outs. Hoelzer scored on a wild pitch.
M.L. Williams drove in three runs, including two RBI on a double through the left side that scored Hoelzer in the second inning. Williams singled in the eighth inning to bring in Shawn Mehring and Hoelzer. Williams had three hits in four trips to the plate.
"M.L. has been doing a great job lately," Forehand said. "He has been getting the sacrifice bunt down when he needs to in order to move a runner. And he steps up in the end with a base hit up the middle.
"Every time we put Shawn Mehring in a game he steps up and is ready to play. He gets a double in the eighth and scores on M.L.'s squibber up the middle. I'm proud of what he Shawn did too."
Dannie Strable started in the circle for the Bisons, going four innings and keeping the Skyhawks scoreless. Strable held UT Martin to only two hits, while striking out one and walking two.
Mike Grace relieved Strable at the start of the fifth inning. He gave up three runs on five hits, while striking out five and walking one.
The Bisons continued to keep UT Martin batters guessing by bringing in Alex Ross to pitch in the middle of the seventh inning. Ross struck out one and gave up one hit. Ross (2-3) was credited with the win.
Chad Fromm got his fourth save of the season for the Bison pitching staff, as he replaced Ross during the eighth inning. Fromm gave up two hits and one run. He struck out three, including the last two batters of the game, sealing the deal for the Bisons.
"Our pitching did a great job," Forehand said. "Dannie gave us four zeroes. Mike hit a little bump and gave up the home run. We brought Alex in to face a lefty and he got him out. Chad finished it up."
The Bisons, 14-25, 5-7 in the conference, return to Atlantic Sun competition this weekend when they visit Stetson in Deland, Fla., for a three-game series Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

NAWM Elects New Officers, Members
by Jim Amidon
June 22, 2011
The National Association of Wabash Men has new leadership after balloting by the College's alumni body.
Greg Castanias '87 is the new president of the NAWM and will guide the Board of Directors for a two-year term. Greg Estell '85 was elected vice president and Greg Redding '88 was elected to serve as the Board's recorder.
The NAWM includes all alumni of the College, tenured members of the Wabash faculty and emeritus faculty, members of the Board of Trustees and emeritus trustees, and any other persons who have rendered service to the College and been accepted for membership by the Board of Directors of the NAWM. Each year, the NAWM elects five persons to serve three-year terms.
Board members re-elected for second terms include incumbents Scott Smalstig '88 and Kenyatta Brame '92. Rick Cavanaugh '76 was elected to his first term, while the Board appointed Pat East '00 and Art Howe '82 to serve three-year terms.
Professor Dan Rogers, chairman of the department of modern languages, was selected to replace Redding as the faculty representative to the Board.
"This is an exciting time for the alumni Board," said Alumni Director Tom Runge '71. The combination of several younger members and an innovative, aggressive leadership cadre means a new level of engagement. Keeping Professor Greg Redding on the Board and adding Professor Dan Rogers will keep the Board more connected than ever before to our faculty."
Castanias, a partner in the Washington, D.C. law firm Jones Day, replaces outgoing president Mark Dewart '74.
"Over the next two years, I want our Board's focus to be on establishing as many different touch points between the College and our alumni as we can," said Castanias. "That means strengthening the network of regional associations; supporting our Class Agent system; reaching alumni through social networking, podcasts, webcasts, and so on; finding ways to use alumni to buttress students' academic experiences and career opportunities; making sure our alumni get chances to know our new faculty; and the ever-present duties of alumni — recruiting outstanding young men to Wabash, and finding other ways to return our time, talent, and treasure to the College we love so well."
Runge said he's thrilled with the make-up of the Board, and the infusion of energy from the new student representative, Tyler Wade '12, has been beneficial. "Tyler has engaged the Board better than any former student member and his voice is one that the entire Board listens to as they look for ways to help the College achieve its strategic goals."
The new Directors join 10 other men who have been elected, including Scott Benedict '98, Kip Chase '03, Terry Hamilton '89, Scott Himsel '85, Brad Johnson '71, Jim Kerr '92, Brad Maxwell '83, Mike Rapier '87, Rick Strasser 02, and Khurram Tahir '01.
In addition to Directors-at-Large, the NAWM Board includes Class Agent Representatives (Ross Dillard '07 and Scott Medsker '03) and Regional Alumni Association Representatives (Dan Susie '68 and Keith Veal '92).
"The new members perfectly complement the Board's membership with alumni leaders like Rick Cavanaugh, Scott Benedict, and Art Howe joining the team," added Runge.

Built To Shred, Sequoia Lake
By Dave Bergthold
I've been going up to Sequoia Lake every summer since I was a wee kid in the 70's. One of my favorite memories is playing a game called "sink-a-boat" where you have two rowboats full of screaming kids with buckets and the first team to send the other boat to the bottom wins. Good times. Now what keeps me coming back to this amazing place in the woods every year is my wooden plank with wheels. I haven't missed but one or two summers since the introduction of Skate Camp in 1989. (story con't below slideshow)
Photos by Patrick Beaudouin except where noted
If you've never been there before you might not know that this is no jock-training facility; it's just an old school summer camp in the mountains that happens to have a bunch of rad things to skate. I built the camp street course once in the early 90's and brought Mike Greenwald up to help—he's built all the ramps there ever since. Whenever I visit, Mike and I try and build something crazy to skate like a ledge from dock to dock or a ramp up to the top of a cabin.
So with my new dreamy job of directing Jeff King's FUEL TV show Built to Shred, I knew we had to continue the tradition of getting weird in the woods. Jeff and I loaded up the veggie-oil-powered Shred truck with camping gear and headed up the hill along with Ted Newsome and Laban Pheidias. Mike was there to help with the build and serve as our tour guide of the lake and the camp junkyards that we scavenged for useable materials. B2Shred is eco-conscious so we always try to reuse materials we find laying around. We love the challenge of turning trash into treasure. Recycle or die!
Before they were sponsored, Jeremy and Jonas Wray started out as Sequoia campers back in the early 90's. They also try and return yearly, so they jumped at the opportunity to join the fun. They wasted no time rigging up a spontaneous junk jam with some rolling irrigation pipes and an old trailer at one of the camp's hidden junk piles. First thing on Jeff's list was to hack and weld an old bunkbed into a grindable Shred Bed. With the camp now being sponsored by Element, Chad Tim Tim and Nick Garcia came up and brought Danny Montoya and José Rojo with them. It didn't take long for them to all put their notch in the bedpost.
With abundant wildlife in the mountains it's common to see deer and occasionally a bear. Just as we were getting comfortably numb in nature, Built to Shred all of a sudden turned into When Animals Attack. And the name of that animal was Cody Hager who recklessly pounced on everything Jeff threw at him. At the camp's boat graveyard, old canoes, sailboats and rowboats were stacked up into a sketchy keel grind off a concrete water tower. Cody grinded across a boat bridge, onto the water tower, then 50-50'd down a boat "hubba" to sketchy downhill landing and trailed through the woods to a bear box ledge. Lead counselor Aaron Morgan did a blunt slide down the rig and then Cody just decided to sail a massive ollie over it all.
The junkyard gems were some old floating dock sections that we threw a jump ramp on and a pile of wood and set sail with our armada of shred. We had scouted some rocks at the edge of the water the day before and sized up a gap from rock to dock. King came through with a kickflip and then a few other tricks went down even though everyone's board took a swim several times. Cody capped the session with a tail drop down a 20-foot tall angled rock into the water.
The campfire is traditionally a crazy treat with skits, music and silly antics so we decided to surprise the kids with an illegal nighttime session. Jeff, Cody and the Wray brothers rowed in darkness with a floating dock section that connected to a roll-in we built earlier in the day. The kids went nuts as a heated fire pit gap session went down. Camp director Mike Manidis threw down a perfect 360 flip and Cody ended the night by pulling a nollie 360 flip out of thin air.
To see more of our epic mountain adventure watch FUEL TV Sunday November 2 at 8 p.m. It will rerun all week too. Download the entire season of Built To Shred from iTunes or watch a low-res version for free on hulu.com. Go to skatecamp.org for more info on the Element YMCA skate camp.

|Williams College in the gorgeous Berkshire hills of Western Massachusetts.
(I am aware that more than a few of you are still in the halls of the academy, so this may be less interesting to you...but you still may want to play along)
Rules:A: If I had to narrow it down to one semester, this would be my course schedule:
1. Assume everything else in your life is manageable (e.g, your
family isn't neglected, bills are paid, you don't have to work, etc.)
2. Choose classes that you would want to take just for the fun of taking them. That
is, stay away from stuff that would get you a promotion at work or help you to
finish a degree or something like that. This is your chance to explore anything
you want.
3. Extra points for being specific.
4. Double extra points for telling me where you would want to spend your semester.
Amherst College, also in Massachusetts.
This was my list in 2009.
- Survey/History of British Lit
- History of Victorian and Edwardian England
- Infrastructure 101 (A more in-depth, much smarter version of all those Discovery channel shows about utilities and transportation and stuff like that.) This class includes a two week "field trip" to learn about European passenger rail infrastructure.
- Photography
- Choir
kind of isolated. Cozy and big at the same time. Or some other similar campus in the Northeast.
Those are all still interesting to me, but I have some other things that have me captivated at the moment. My course list today would look something like this:
- Survey of American History from 1850 to 1900 - not generally a period in history I am naturally drawn to, but it would dovetail really nicely with what I am researching at work these days--which is fascinating--and will be blogged about in the near future.
- A research methods class. I have had one or two of these in past, but I could use a refresher as an adult who is actually paying attention.
- I would still do the Infrastructure class I mention above.
- Geometry - I was terrible at it in high school--I felt confused my whole sophomore year in Mr. Varty's class. And I generally disliked math, but for some reason this has been interesting to me lately. I am not sure it would fill a whole semester as an adult, so maybe I would throw in an Algebra refresher course as well.
- Some kind of art class--like the kind we had in junior high which included everything from drawing to woodblock carving to pottery to painting.
- Choir
- And I still think I would do the survey of British Lit. Kind of tempted to narrow it down, but I think I would still like to take in the whole sweep of British Lit to put my reading into a broader context and framework.

Sixth Grader Wins Preakness Portraits Youth Art Contest
Sixth Grader Wins Preakness Portraits Youth Art Contest
BALTIMORE, 04-29-12---Lashé Speight, a sixth grader at Cross Country Elementary/Middle School, is the grand prize winner of the thirteenth annual Preakness Portraits Youth Art Contest. Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings Blake made the announcement Sunday morning at Pimlico Race Course.
Speight is the youngest winner ever.
Students from eight Baltimore City area schools, grades K through 12, were invited to create artwork showing the significance of the Preakness to Maryland history, while capturing the spirit of Thoroughbred racing. The artwork had to include Preakness related images. The $1 million Preakness® Stakes (G1), the middle jewel of Thoroughbred racing's Triple Crown, will be run at Pimlico on Saturday, May 19.
As the winner of "The Jewel", the best artwork for grades 5 through 12, Speight receives box seating for four on Preakness Day, framed artwork autographed by the connections of this year's Preakness winner and a $250 gift certificate.
"What you see is families coming out to celebrate the history as well as our future at the same time," Rawlings Blake said. "You can see we have so many talented young people in the City of Baltimore. This is wonderful way for them to showcase their skills."
"The Junior Jewel", the best artwork for grades K through 4, went to third grader Nicholas Miller, also from Cross Country Elementary School.
The judging of 122 entries was conducted on April 20 by local artist Mark Luce, Baltimore City Mayor's Neighborhoods liaison Betsy Gardner, retired Baltimore City art teacher Heidi Schloss and representatives from the Maryland Jockey Club.
Participating schools included:
- Arlington Elementary/Middle
- Cross Country Elementary/Middle
- Dickey Hill Elementary/Middle
- Fallstaff Elementary/Middle
- Francis Scott Key Elementary/Middle
- Hampden Elementary/Middle
- Mt. Washington Elementary/Middle
- Western High
All the artwork will be displayed on first floor grandstand at Pimlico from May 1 through Preakness Day.

SAN FRANCISCO — As he did in the first round, manager Bruce Bochy is playing it coy when it comes to announcing starting pitchers, leaving Tim Lincecum and Barry Zito in the bullpen for the time being.
Madison Bumgarner will start Sunday's Game 1 of the National League Championship Series against the St. Louis Cardinals and Ryan Vogelsong will take the ball in Monday's Game 2, but Bochy will wait before announcing anything further.
Matt Cain, who started twice in the NLDS, is a virtual lock to start Game 3. Lincecum and Zito are candidates to start Game 4 but both will be available out of the bullpen for the first two games.
"They're all available, Bochy said. "Timmy threw the ball great (against the Cincinnati Reds). Zito was a little bit off, but not bad. At this point, we're just going to wait until we get to St. Louis before we name those starters."
Lincecum twice came out of the bullpen in the first round and gave up just one earned run in 61/3 electric innings. Zito, who lasted just 22/3 innings in a Game 4 start, said he felt he would be better prepared the second time around.
"It was six years since I've been out there (in the postseason) so it was really good to get that under my belt," he said. "I was rushing a little. I've got that first one out of the way now."
Bochy and the coaching staff are still debating several other potential changes. It's possible the Giants will cut their postseason staff from 12 pitchers to 11, and they also could replace struggling right-hander Guillermo Mota with either Clay Hensley or Jean Machi, both of whom have been traveling with the team. Outfielder Francisco Peguero and catcher Eli Whiteside are also options for the NLCS roster.
Asked if he would be ready for Game 1 against the St. Louis Cardinals, Affeldt said, "Yes, I'll be great."
Bochy wasn't worried about Affeldt's hand, which was lightly wrapped as he left the park Saturday. He joked about the pitcher's penchant for weird injuries, including a 2011 self-stabbing while trying to separate frozen burger patties.
"He'll be back to normal," Bochy said, "But he still has to go home and cook, so…"
The Giants were happy to go home, but the enthusiasm waned when the flight was delayed as fuel was added to account for the new itinerary. The flight was delayed a second time because of a hydraulics problem. The Giants intended to arrive home by 2 a.m. but instead landed after 5 a.m. Several players didn't get to bed until 7:30 a.m.
"It was miserable," Theriot said. "Probably the worst flight I've had."
Most players passed the time by watching movies or trying to sneak in a few minutes of sleep. Theriot said he unsuccessfully tried to get a card game going.
The double-delay meant many of the Giants got home at the same time that the Cardinals, who had played and then boisterously celebrated in Washington D.C., checked into their San Francisco hotel.
"I think the guys got it all out of their system in Washington," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. "But there were still people smiling as we got off the plane, even at six in the morning."
"We've crossed that bridge," Bochy said.

NFL CIO is Ready For Some Football
As the San Francisco 49ers and the Baltimore Ravens gird for battle on the gridiron in Super Bowl XLVII Sunday, one CIO is preparing to cope with the large amounts of pictures and video she expects the game's more than 70,000 fans to generate with their smartphones. For the last month, Michelle McKenna-Doyle, CIO of NFL Enterprise LLC, and her team have been outfitting the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans with 880 multi-directional Wi-Fi devices, which will provide free, public Internet access for game attendees.
She hopes these routers, tucked under stairwells, and placed in other low-key areas throughout the stadium, will support email, text messages, photos and videos created and shared by the ticket-holders, as well as the thousands milling around outside the facility on Feb. 3. "Everyone is a mini network today," said Ms. McKenna-Doyle. "It used to be the [TV] networks you had to worry about. Now you have to worry about Joe Smith sitting in seat whatever, filming, sharing, streaming, blogging." She declined to share the cost of the Wi-Fi project, which is paid for by the Mercedes-Benz Superdome as a requirement to host the Super Bowl, or to say how much data the NFL's infrastructure will support. But she called the project, which includes providing access for the NFL broadcast compound, media center and host network CBS, a "significant investment."
Ms. McKenna-Doyle, who joined the NFL in September, is no stranger to installing large-scale networks. As the president of information management systems at the Walt Disney from 2004 to 2006, she oversaw the implementation of wireless and broadband networks spread over several acres at Disney's theme parks. But that was before the advent of Twitter and streaming video applications that allow users to upload content to YouTube and other sites. She said consumers view Internet access as a utility, and they expect Wi-Fi to work like water or power. Fans demand unfettered access to the Internet from the smartphones and tablets at all sporting contests. And while these fans will be using smartphones supported by mobile broadband from carriers, these networks get over-saturated with data demands, she said. When smartphones can't access a carrier network, they typically default to an available Wi-Fi network to transmit information.
Ms. McKenna-Doyle said she hopes she has enough infrastructure to support the glut of information attendees will generate through live-tweeting and video-sharing. She said she is counting on the in-game experiences, including the half-time show and Jumbotron replays, to "keep people off their devices and engaged in the game, which is ultimately the goal." Though she believes there are plenty of Wi-Fi access points for this year's game, she plans to do a lot more advance planning for next year's game, including polling fans to see how the NFL can improve their experience. She said she also may increase the size of the pipes that deliver data for Super Bowl XLVIII at MetLife in New Jersey.
Gartner analyst Tim Zimmerman, who consults with college and university clients about how to build large-scale Wi-Fi networks to support stadium-level events, said wireless access providers are experimenting with different antenna designs to account for densely packed areas. "The management of who gets what and where is an increasingly big challenge that these venues have to solve," Mr. Zimmerman said. He said some stadiums are pairing loyalty applications with "traffic-shaping," in which smartphone users pay for an assured level of network performance, and other promotions.
One facet of the entertainment experience that is poised for improvement is the inclusion of in-game stats delivered by broadcasters. Ms. McKenna-Doyle said the NFL still relies on its Game Stats Information System, an application statisticians working in broadcast trucks use to pair stats with video and send to broadcasters during the game. This system will be used for the Super Bowl on Sunday, just as it has been used for every NFL game, for years. But she said she believes analytics software, including powerful data processing engines such as Hadoop, could help the NFL automate stats delivery. "We've got to move into that space because this data is massive," she said. "That's part of my strategic long-range plans."

Our house isn't our dream home but we love the location and our big backyard (hard to find nowadays in the city). I love my garden out back and the south light it gets. And then every time I start to think of moving to a bigger house I remember what it took to get our piano into the family room and that cures me. Moving is not going to happen. We're staying put, just bury our bones in the back.
Of course after remodeling our kitchen then our fireplace last year we've become so keen on the remodeling process that we've been desperately looking for other ways to pour money into our house--apparently we've taken it upon ourselves to make sure the home improvement industry is alive and well. So we've decided to remodel the family room downstairs then take the two small kid bedrooms over the garage and push the whole front wall out farther over the garage to give us a bit of growing room as we start into Life with Teenagers.
So far so good? But Andrew and I try to live by the Socratic "True wisdom is knowing that you know nothing" slogan and we knew that designing an addition was well beyond our capabilities. A neighbor down the street had a similar house and did almost exactly what we wanted to do and I wasn't pleased with their results. We needed an architect--but where?
As fate would have it (if you believe that fate cares about things like flooring products and interior lighting) we have an acquaintance, Bruce Williams of Black + White Studio Architects, who is an architect but we didn't know him that well--I'd seen a couple of his buildings, knew he created contemporary designs but doubted that he'd want to be bothered with our puny little project. However Andrew is gutsy so he called him and set up a time for him to come over to check things out.
Bruce brought his assistant, Michael Gerace, with him and after looking at the house they started asking all sorts of questions. They wanted to know how we used different spaces in our home, what we wanted to use the new areas for, what our personalities are like, how we relate to our children, how our family interacts, all sorts of artsy questions. I told Andrew that I felt like we should have been lying on the couch there was so much analysis going on.
At first I didn't really understand why all the questions were important, the project seemed pretty straightforward to me, but who doesn't like talking about themselves? And after they'd left Andrew and I felt pretty confident that these were the guys for us--we had absolutely no idea what we were in for but it just felt right. I guess all that touchy-feely analysis stuff was starting to rub off--stop me before I start talking about the karma of load-bearing walls.
Anyway, a couple weeks later they called us in to present what they'd come up with and we were in no way prepared.
They plopped down the conceptual drawings which had the basic addition drawn over a photograph of the house, still in very rough stages, and we were shocked. What is that? Was our first thought--though not in a bad way, just a wow-I've-never-seen-that-before way.
There, on the front of our ugly split-level 1970s house was a glassy rectangular cube: simple and elegant but emerging from the house like a protege making his debut on stage. The more we looked at it, the more we saw it and analyzed it and absorbed it and the more we loved it. We didn't necessarily get it at first but we loved it.
Then I realized that what they'd done was really brilliant. They'd taken both of the kids rooms and pushed them forward, cantilevered on three sides out over the garage, and instead of two separate rooms they'd extended the middle dividing wall with a sliding door so that the whole new addition could be one long space or (with the door closed) two separate rooms. The front wall facing out alternated with vertical cabinetry and floor-to-ceiling glass in front of built-in shelving and desks to take advantage of the mountain view while the windows on both ends were designed to supply fresh air by swinging out on different pivot points and maximize the currents.
The wood floor of the addition was divided from the carpet of the old structure by a strip of frosted glass covering a recessed trough of lights so that the room would be partially lit from below. The whole thing had become a studio for our children, a space for them and their creativity while being so useful and beautiful as to make me want to take over the rooms as soon as they're out the door for college.
The more we studied the design the more we realized that it was perfect. Not in the transient, casual way a good cake or a sunny day can be "perfect," but perfect as a structure because the space was exactly suited for its occupants and their needs. The design had no more or no less than what was needed, it was creative and it was beautiful. The only problem was the rest of the house that was still attached.
What to do with the rest of the place? Our original plans called for replacing the exterior of the house to update it from the pre-made, fake, pieced-together 1970s look. We'd asked Bruce and Michael about our options for exterior materials and it became apparent that they were not limited by traditional supplies. Basically any material you could nail or cement to the outside was fair game--I nearly expected them to present us with a picture of the house wrapped in alligator skin--and I got downright tingly at the prospects of what they'd come up with.
But when we sat down a second time it was a little disappointing--they said that they didn't think we should cover the house with anything, that we should clean up what we had, give it a high-quality paint and leave it at that. Their reason? Well, part of the reason we wanted a new exterior was to blend in the addition with the rest of the house. This addition? It was going to blend about as well as a Hare Krishna dancing at the Bolshoi--there was no "blending" this.
Again, I didn't get it at first and was disappointed because I wanted to see something as creative and beautiful as what we'd seen before but the more I heard what they were saying the more I agreed. If you already have a design that is perfect why would you change it to blend with the surrounding inferior structure? If you had a surrounding structure that will never be able to match the addition why make it ridiculous by wrapping it in something that doesn't fit? The house ends up as something that it's not, pretending to be modern art but failing miserably (and an expensive failure at that). It would just look silly.
So the more we thought about it the more we knew Black + White was right. Instead they came up with some clever landscaping and other exterior ideas that would make the design work for the house and for the neighborhood.
Why am I telling you this long story? Well because it's been really, really fun to experience. I enjoy seeing creative minds at work and though I may not understand everything that's going on I love learning--and I've learned a tiny something about design, a lot more about what I like and how much I admire Black + White's designs. I've come to trust what these guys say will work and what will not work because they've got this project so right. It's fun to realize that this could be the future of Anchorage as the city comes to grips with what to do with all these 30 year-old homes and more home owners want to remodel. Ah, the whole thing has made me crave a re-reading of The Fountainhead. Seriously.
It's also been fun because we talked about this whole experience with some friends of ours over dinner and they got as excited as we did. They're building a new home in Spokane and decided that maybe Bruce and Michael were the men for them too and since Black + White designs structures all over the place last I heard the mighty Design Duo was flying down to Spokane to camp out on the 20-acre property and check it out first hand. What a life.
So why aren't I posting pictures of the design? Well because it's wild and it's new and it's going to get lots of looks from the neighbors--while it's fun to give people something new to think about (Andrew and I each have a rebellious streak) I don't want to post pictures while it's still only an idea. When I have something real to show, probably in a month or so, then I'll let you all gawk. Andrew's joked that we can probably recoup the cost of construction by charging admission because people are going to want to see the inside of this one.
As one of the kids said, "Well at least we won't have to worry about people not knowing where we live, all we'll have to tell them is 'we live in The Cube' and they'll know where to find us."

Sounds exciting! It will be neat when you can give us a visual.
I love the idea of putting your time and effort, ok and money too, into a home where you love the location. Location is everything in my book. Good luck with all of it.
- Robin said...
I work with a lot of architects, and your description of that first meeting had me cackling. It's SO typical. They do tend to speak their own language, but the results can be spectacular. I love the way you've described your addition, it sounds like B&W have really done a fabulous job identifying your needs and designing something that meets them perfectly. I can't wait to see how it all develops.
Remind me one day to tell you about the loony architect who consulted with us (as a favor to Jay, he doesn't do residential) when we renovated - he had some incredible ideas that we leapt to adopt, but a few that were obviously coming from a man who's never run a household in his life. His kitchen design called for doing away with access to the window where my laundry lines are (used all year round here in Israel and saving mucho bucks) because "what's laundry compared to the perfect kitchen?"

Wow! How awesome! I can't wait for the pictures.
- Holding It Together said...
Wow, it sounds like they really know what they are doing - how nice to work with such professionals. Can't wait to see the final design!
- Patty W said...
WOW..how exciting for you! Can't wait to see how it all plays out!
- Tammy said...
I can't wait to see the finished space! I used to work for an architect, and it amazed me how he could take an ugly old building (such as a factory) and change it into a cool condo building! A great architect will ask a lot of questions so that the finished space will be perfect for the owner!
- Chandra said...
I love looking at houses and talking about new designs. That all sounds so fun and exciting for your family!
I came here from technorati and added you to my favorites. I enjoyed your posts and will definitely be back!
- Prisca said...
I think this sounds absolutely faboulous! Good for you two for being so adventurous and letting such a creative pair work with your house. I can't wait to see how it all turns out. We'll have to put you on HG TV for the renovation. Seriously, call them up-- maybe they'll film you and pay for it!!! ;)
I'm just so impressed that Black + White is working WITH what you've got. I'd also have assumed they'd tell you to ditch the exterior etc. I wish we could fast forward and see it all complete.
- Andrea J said...
I'm very excited for you and excited for me that I'll get to see updated pictures and the like.
- tjhirst said...
From my experience, married to an architect, your statement, "we knew that designing an addition was well beyond our capabilities" is atypical. That was my first tip off that this will be a positive endeavor for you! Good luck with the building process. It's not nearly as fun as the design process, but the results last a lot longer. We have our own "cube" in a four story red tower, and the neighbors are getting accustomed to it.
- ph, husband of tj said...
You guys sound like perfect clients. Willing to talk, willing to accept something different. I wish we had more clients like you...
Most of the time we get micromanaged out of a decent project into mediocre.
Having said all that, I'm afraid to ask about the budget...
- Kelly @ Love Well said...
Can't wait for the sketches.
And I love your description of the give-and-take between you and the architects. Working with truly creative people, when I get the opportunity, is one of the great joys of my life.
- Scribbit said...
Husband to tj: Actually, I've been pleased with that as well (the budget) It's hard when you see all these other things you'd like to do but are restricted by the budget but actually it's been a very good time in Anchorage to do this kind of thing. The market is slow right now and I think a lot of contractors are looking for projects so we've had that as an advantage. Then also they've tried in a few areas to cut costs for us--such as in the landscaping area. There was one thing about that that I didn't care for and didn't agree with them on but it was somewhat minor. I think (not sure, haven't seen the latest stuff) that they've tried to find a new way to do it that would be less expensive, which I really appreciate.
I don't know if this is saying too much but the whole thing has been pretty reasonable actually. Of course that's on this end and I'm aware how easy it is for projects to mushroom into something much more expensive than planned. Well see what I say in a couple months.
- Kim Priestap said...
Ooh! It sounds fantastic. You've really piqued my curiosity. I can't wait to see it.
- ames said...
hey, Spokane!
Sorry, just perked up at the mention of my hometown. Sounds like a dream studio space, so much light!
- My Ice Cream Diary said...
I love how much they cared about you and your personal life style instead of shoving their own ideas on you. I love to see things transform from old to new, and look forward to the pics.
- Richelle said...
That is exciting. Can't wait to see some pictures!
- Coach J said...
This does sound very neat, and I can't wait to actually see it! (I'm not good at visualizing)
- Heffalump said...
We would like to bump out a part of our upstairs so we can have a couple more bedrooms up there, but have no idea how much something like that will cost. That is what is keeping us from pursuing it right now.
I look forward to seeing what happens with your home in the future
- Leslie said...
This is so exciting! We have plans to do a little remodeling and add on to our house a few years down the road. I can't wait! It's so fun to make your house your own.
- bestfamily said...
I cam e across your blog and thought I'd check it out. I lived in Anchorage for a year and loved ever minute of it. You can't beat the views! One day I hope to reurn. May be sooner than I had thought...hubby got a job offer in Juneau!
- John & Laura said...
I'm having a hard time imagining what this will look like. But I'm excited for pictures and updates!
- Theresa said...
Yowza. You're definately going to be on my sightseeing tour when I come to town.
- Damselfly said...
Hare Krishnas at the Bolshoi, eh?
How cool is that to have an architect remake your home?!
- Anonymous said...
How fun! I can't wait to see the reality :)
- Remodeling NYC said...
I am very exciting with the outcome your new home remake. I can't wait to see the results.
