InspiHERed By spotlights phenomenal women in the Black queer community—everyone from artists to activists. Each week ELIXHER features someone whose personal journey and individual craft inspire us to dream bigger, laugh harder, and love deeper. ELIXHER recently sat down with Elizabeth Rivera, a Brooklyn-based pin-up model and go-go dancer.
ELIXHER: Tell us a little about yourself.
ELIZABETH: I was born in St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands. I was raised there for sixteen years of my life. I came up to Georgia and lived with my mom for a while. I had previously lived with my grandmother and grandfather. I finished high school in New York and then went to the New School and studied Literature there. It was easily the most formative years. I created some of the most important relationships in terms of friendships and early lesbian dating. [Laughs.]
I worked a random gamut of jobs. Somehow I'm at the Queensboro Community College as an officer manager. I get to experience the other side of higher education in terms of community college. (I went to a private college.) I appreciate seeing these women who are coming from having a kid right out of high school or in the middle of high school and trying to get their life back on track. I like helping them create that for themselves. Listening to their stories makes the day worth it honestly.
I have currently been go-go dancing which is one of the best things because it gives me the chance to get some frustration out and meet some really great people. I mainly go-go dance queer parties. I'm open to straight parties but I feel safer and more comfortable with my own people. The venture that gives me most of my self-expression and joy is my pin-up modeling, which I've been doing for a little over a year now.
ELIXHER: What drew you to the craft?
ELIZABETH: Go-go dancing mainly because you get to have great relationships with different DJs and promoters. Also, it's wonderful being up there and bringing a party to life. You're up there giving them a reason to enjoy themselves. It's wonderful.
When you're raised by older people, you are going to know the TMC channel like it's the back of your hand. So I was raised around these classic films and vintage clothing because of my grandmother, and also my grandfather's demeanor. He was very much an older gentlemen. A lot of his tastes were very clean-cut and tailored. A lot of that is part of the 1950s/60s look and I was definitely drawn to it immediately as a young child.
As I got older, a lot of my style has very much been pencil skirts and blouses. When I started pin-up modeling, I realized that this is where I wanted to be. The people I've met in it and the cultures that are intertwined in it are really beautiful and make me really happy. Also somehow they are very accepting of queerness, tattoos, hair color and whatnot because a lot of it also intertwines with alternative modeling, which is very heavily part of the punk and rockabilly scene. I love it.
ELIXHER: Where does your name "Betty Chantel" come from?
ELIZABETH: [Laughs.] It's funny because naturally you want to get a persona or change your name a bit. But this woman named Betty Red, who is the Madame of this site called Pin Up Lifestyle which is where you get an amazing network of the culture, was talking about it with me. She was like it makes me really happy to know your real name is Elizabeth because there are so many Bettys in this culture that aren't actually named Elizabeth. If you're named Shannon, rock Shannon and rock it hard. Don't play with something that you don't know how to own very well.
As a kid my nickname was Betty. When I came to America is when I chose Liz. When I came to Georgia there were three other girls in my class named Betty. It was Betty Ann, Betty Sue and Betty Luanne. And I was like, this is not happening in my life right now. [Laughs.] So it became Liz. It's easy, it's standard and it connects to my name Elizabeth very easily. Chantel is my actual middle name.
ELIXHER: Who is Betty Chantel? What's she like?
ELIZABETH: It's the more playful side of me. It's the more flirty side of me. It's the more creative side of me. I really appreciate that it's like wearing a hat for the day or evening. And it's very much part of yourself. It's just something you want to bring out that's different. When I'm in the office, I'm Elizabeth Rivera and I have to get work done. But when I'm able to get on stage and I'm able to be behind the camera, it's a whole other experience. It's completely freeing. I think people should have that option for themselves, something that's other than who they are every day.
ELIXHER: As a lesbian who embraces this kind of hyperfemininity as an art form and plays on these very traditional gender roles, do you experience any backlash?
ELIZABETH: [Laughs.] As a femme, there's this concept that you are not allowed to live your everyday life and not wear a flag. As if somehow as a femme, you need to let everyone in the room know, "P.S. I'm gay." I don't understand that. I don't think I ever will completely understand it. I'm not nearly as presenting as my girlfriend is and I probably never will be. It's because I'm proud to be a femme. I love being a femme. I don't hide the fact that I'm a lesbian. I'm very open about it. It's not something that I put on in the morning or at night. I present this every single day and I'm very happy about it.
Thankfully in the current pin-up culture being queer is very accepted. Every single person on set knows I'm a lesbian. My girlfriend comes to sets all the time where there will be male photographers that acknowledge her as my partner.
My main experience has been with other queer brown women who don't think I present enough as a lesbian and I should be wearing bracelets or put my hair differently or it should be part of my [stage] name. I'm like, no, bitch. This is how I live my life.
I have had a few difficult conversations about being a part of a culture that at one point, as brown people, we weren't allowed to do a lot of basic things like share the same doctor, go to the same bathroom, all these Jim Crow era issues. These are very real things, which is why I want to be a part of this culture. And last time I checked there was a huge Doo-wop sensation and musical experience during that time period. Motown was in existence. There were all these brown and black actors and actresses during that time period. Yes, they could not share the same stage at the same time with white performers, but they were still there and still real. That's why I think the idea that we weren't treated fairly in that time period is ridiculous. That's true but we were still there. We existed. The Doo-wop groups were huge and were black female-centered. If anything, I want to give homage to that.
ELIXHER: You're also a self-described feminist. How do you reconcile being a pin-up model and continue to challenge things like patriarchy and the objectification of women?
ELIZABETH: Without a doubt what I think the feminist movement was trying to say and is still trying to prove is that women should be treated equal. It's kind of ridiculous this idea that you must some how strip down your femininity to be taken seriously. If you decide to be hyperfemme or if that's how you relate as a queer woman, as a black woman, as a woman in general, that's how you feel comfortable, then you need to deconstruct that, be aware of your actions, be aware that somehow this is still a projection of something you're supposed to ideally be, turn that on its head and still be connected to your political beliefs. And I do that every day. Being a feminist doesn't mean you can't wear high heels and makeup. You shouldn't have to reconcile things. You can integrate things.
Turning these hyperfeminine looks into something that is part of my own political exchange is kind of revolutionary. It's this idea that you can be as feminine as you want to be and still want to be treated as an equal. It's like you should be whoever the fuck you want and be given respect. No matter what you're never going to make the entire room happy. It's more about making yourself happy and making the room aware that you don't give a fuck.
ELIXHER: Absolutely. So switching gears a little. I know you're also a lover of vintage.
ELIZABETH: Oh my god. My girlfriend could tell you right now, I'm not allowed to buy any goddamn thing. [Laughs.]
ELIXHER: What has been your greatest vintage find?
ELIZABETH: Without a doubt, the one thing I love the most about New York is that because there's so much old money here for so long and women loved getting furs made for themselves, you can get a fur for $38 that's vintage. I bought one the other day and it's real. And I'm not in the mood to hear the PETA people get at me. I don't really give a flying fuck what your opinions are. I respect that you have your own, but it's been dead. I'm not going out getting one personally made for myself. I understand that somehow it makes y'all upset and angry. I respect the tofu-eating, kale-loving lesbians. Great. But I like nice things. [Laughs.] Nice things include fur. [Laughs.] I got this beautiful ankle-length black rabbit fur coat for $38. Yes, ma'am.
ELIXHER: [Laughs.] Who or what inspires you?
ELIZABETH: It's an insane compilation of people. My grandmother has to be the most inspiring person ever. Mainly because she was a nurse and got left by her husband with two small children, put herself back in school and became a teacher. And married a man later on in her life who was actually her art teacher in grad school and raised me. She has never stopped feeling as if she can become something better than she is right now. She has never settled which I really appreciate.
Shifting to college, Ann Snitow who still works at the New School. She is this amazing second wave feminist who's wonderful. Traceyann Williams who is this black feminist who teaches at the New School and also Barry Karp who is the cookiest and the most lovable woman possible. She would probably scare you, but she's wonderful.
It runs the gamut with revolutionaries and also old Hollywood stars and burlesque dancers—their own ways of flowing back and forth and feeling as if womanhood is not defined by one thing.
ELIXHER: What makes you proud to be part of the black queer community?
ELIZABETH: There isn't one specific way to be a black queer woman in this community [in New York City]. I've been different places where there was a definition that I didn't always fit into. What's really beautiful to me is the fact that Brooklyn is such a wide gamut of [queer] women, which makes dating very small. [Laughs.] But which also makes dating complicated in a wonderful way. I also love that you can constantly change yourself in the queer community and it is accepting in that way.
ELIXHER: What are some changes you'd like to see?
ELIZABETH: I see the need for spaces that are just ours and having the minor groups in that. But sometimes things become a little too cliquish. We should be a more accepting of including people in what we define as our groups. There is currently a change happening in a lot of spaces where I know there's less acceptance of others. There needs to be a dialogue that happens between the inclusion of transhood and lesbians, and having the conversation in a mature manner. Having both sides be seen. Seeing the need to have just a queer brown women's space and trans people respecting that. This concept that we are all one is bullshit. We should admit that to ourselves. I don't know what it is to be you; I never will be. I want to see more respect given to the need for separatism and also inclusion. And have that dialogue in a space that's also safe to have that conversation. It shouldn't be on either turf. But I also think that because of that is where you get this amazing growth. This kind of tension. Tension is necessary for growth. I don't think we should ever be complacent.
ELIXHER: Very true. So what's next Betty?
ELIZABETH: [Laughs.] Right now I'm working on a lot of collaborations. I've been chatting with a woman named Elli Roe. She's a brown woman who is also a pin-up model and who wants to do a shoot together. I want to see more brown women in the pin-up culture. I want women to feel comfortable walking into these spaces. That's part of why I think what I do is so important. I'm proud to say I've been getting paid jobs for what I do. I love the fact that I've been published several times now in magazines. The next thing for me is traveling more. I'm spreading my own definition of a pin-up model. I love the fact that because of what I do, I've gotten to meet so many other great brown women who do what they do in terms of burlesquing, in terms of go-going, in terms of pin-uping. I love that there's a space for that. As a queer brown woman, I'm proud to be experiencing these new spaces that I never been in before. I think just self-growth and growth of my own work.

Gayle and I both fell in love with Midnight Snack last summer.
I had to tell Gayle about them, as they were all the rave to me and I had played their album nonstop since returning home. A week later, Gayle was working at the former Parlor and called me at 9pm to say Midnight Snack was playing right now, in Norfolk! What a coincidence! I rushed to the arts district to enjoy the show with her.
As we both are groupies of Midnight Snack, we decided to interview the band together for their upcoming show at Work | Release on Friday the 13th as part of LAVA festival. The show is free and starts at 9pm. This will be their 3rd time playing in town and we are excited to welcome them back. Responses are from Jack Victor, their main songwriter.
Hannah & Gayle: In a band full of many members, how does everyone's creativity play into different or similar roles in the making of the music?
Jack Victor: Each member of the group has a different set of skills to offer, so we don't end up stepping on each other's toes too much. For example, I like to write songs and lyrics, but I don't like working on the computer. Pete and Mike are great technologists, so when we work on a recording Pete does most of the engineering and Mike does most of the mixing. I keep my hands off during those steps.
What does an average week look like for Midnight Snack?
We all have various other gigs during the week. Several of us teach private lessons on our respective instruments. Pete works as a freelance producer. Mike works at the Asheville-based synthesizer company, Make Noise. Depending on what we have going on, we're also either spending four or five days a weeks rehearsing, performing, or recording for Midnight Snack.
After seeing you on the street that Sunday morning, I looked Midnight Snack up on the web to find that the band loves to busk. What part about these impromptu public performances do you love or is rewarding to you?
One thing I love about street performing is that the audience is totally honest. If they don't like what you're doing, they have no reason to stick around so they keep walking. On the other hand, sometimes people are so surprised to stumble upon a performance that they really love on the street. It's nice to make a person's day like that.
Describe one of your most memorable shows and where it was.
The very first Midnight Snack was pretty memorable. Mike and I were still in high school and we debuted our new project, Midnight Snack, at a battle of the bands at our school. A bunch of our friends stormed the stage and the teachers were freaking out, trying to get everyone to sit down. My buddy jumped off the stage and crowd surfed for a bit. The music was pretty goofy back then, but that show was so fun.
Who are your musical influences?
Between the six of us our musical influences are pretty far-reaching, but some of the most significant ones for developing our sound as a group have been The Talking Heads, David Bowie, Arcade Fire, Sufjan Stevens… Also several relatively new artists like Tame Impala, Beach House, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, St. Vincent. I'd say we are most heavily influenced by art rock, psych rock, and dream pop.
What themes do you like to write about?
So far I've mostly written about change, love, and friendship. I try to write about subject matter that I think my friends might relate to.
What is the next or current project for the band?
We're working on a new album at the moment, and hoping to release it in the fall. This record has been entirely DIY. We've been recording it at our house. There will be another tour to go along with the new record as well.
What are the band biggest ambitions, goals, or interests?
It's tough as a musician to look way down the line and set really big, far-out goals (and have them be realistic). For now, we're just focused on trying to make a really great album that is really going to stick with folks and really move them. Also, we're trying to make a more engaging and emotionally impactful live show. We're already having fun. Success is whatever you want it to be.
Do you have any special preparations or traditions before playing a show?
We get into a group huddle and usually one person will give a short pep-talk and then we say a bunch of cheesy-lovey-dovey stuff to one another and then we meditate for a few seconds.
Currently? Hopefully not much. We tried to eat everything before we left to go on the road for three weeks. We all live together so it's easy to coordinate these things.
Anything you wish Norfolkians to know before you come knock our socks off?
Only that we love them and we're psyched to be back!

Things to Do in Chicago: Week of June 1, 2014
BY: Tyler Clark | Jun 4, 2014
It's the first day of the rest of your summer. Make sure your calendar stays full. This week: a concert by Vampire Weekend, an immersive take on Shakespeare at Redmoon, festivals celebrating barbecue and books, and the 50th anniversary of Dr. Strangelove. Vampire Weekend Near West Side | UIC Pavilion, 525 S. Racine Ave. Thursday, June 5, 7:30 p.m. Vampire Weekend's brand of breezy, globe-trotting pop always lent itself well to summer idling, but 2013's Modern Vampires of the City explored considerably weightier themes. This Thursday, they bring their road show to the UIC Pavilion, aided by openers (and breakup documentarians) Cults. ($39.50; buy tickets here) "Spring Spectacle: Bellboys, Bears, and Baggage" East Pilsen | Redmoon, 2120 S. Jefferson St. Through Saturday, June 7 "Exit, pursued by a bear." One of Shakespeare's most debated stage directions, it's also the jumping-off point for Redmoon's latest immersive production. Audience members wind their own paths through the company's 17,000-square-foot space, where they'll encounter characters and dreamlike scenes inspired by A Winter's Tale. ($15–$30; buy tickets here) Ribfest Chicago Northcenter | Intersection of Damen Ave., Lincoln Ave., and Irving Park Rd. All weekend, June 6–8 Now in its 16th summer, the annual festival will fill Northcenter with the aromas of local barbecue stalwarts such as Smoke Daddy, Robinson's #1 Ribs, and Rub's Backcountry Smokehouse. As the name suggests, ribs are the main event; vote on your favorite in the People's Choice contest. ($5 suggested donation) Printers Row Lit Fest Printers Row | Dearborn St., between Congress Pkwy. and Polk St. Saturday and Sunday, June 7–8 Held at the one-time headquarters of Chicago publishing, the Printers Row Lit Fest stacks the sidewalks with paperbacks and rare reads from dozens of Midwestern publishers. Presentations include readings of student work from 826CHI and a conversation with music critic Greg Kot and the legendary Mavis Staples. (free; tickets required for some presentations) "Dr. Strangelove" Wrigleyville | Music Box, 3733 N. Southport Ave. Through Wednesday, June 11 It's been 50 years since the release of Stanley Kubrick's classic Cold War farce, and the Music Box is in the mood to celebrate—with a new 35mm print of the film. After contemplating the comic futility of war, shake off your existential dread with a restorative pint at Cullen's a couple of doors north. ($7–$10) Vampire Weekend photo courtesy of XL Recordings.

In June of 2015, The Event Lounge launched SIP, which stands for "Stand, Inspire, and Provide." SIP is a gathering of business professionals striving to make our mark by taking a stand, inspiring others to do the same, and providing aid to those in need in our community. In 2015 and 2016, SIP raised over $31,000 for Share Our Strength's No Kid Hungry campaign.
First Responders BBQ
The men and women working in public safety are close to our hearts, and when tragedy strikes, we know their jobs become infinitely harder. The Event Lounge has traveled to Arkansas and Rowlett, TX on several occasions to serve meals to the first responders volunteers as well as collected over $15,000 in donations for the families affected by the natural disasters.
Salvation Army Angel Tree
It is a standing tradition at The Event Lounge to adopt several Angels from The Salvation Army Angel Tree program. We have so much fun spending an afternoon picking out the perfect toys and clothing for our Angels, and it brings us so much joy to know that they will feel loved and special on Christmas morning.
TDn2K Care Packages
The Event Lounge partnered with TDn2K and Operation Gratitude to create packages and personalized letters to the U.S. Military at TDn2K's annual Global Best Practices Conference. These care packages were sent overseas to our Military Heroes to refresh their hygiene packages and give them a taste of home.

A representative for Lindsay Lohan has played down reports the actress is planning to convert to Islam after she was pictured carrying a copy of the Koran.
The Mean Girls star was snapped with the Islamic holy book as she attended a children's center in Brooklyn, New York on Wednesday (13May15).
The pictures sparked rumors Lohan is planning a new religious conversion after previously dabbling in both Kabbalah and Buddhism.
A representative for Lohan has now revealed the actress developed a fascination with Arab culture after spending time in Dubai, but is unlikely to be considering becoming a Muslim.
The spokesperson tells Britain's The Independent newspaper, "To my knowledge she is not considering fully converting to Islam, but I know she has been taking a keen interest in the Arabic culture of late. She also spent some time in Dubai earlier this year and became interested in their way of life."
Lohan previously admitted she is attempting to learn Arabic after posting a mistranslation on her Instagram.com page.

Addiction Recovery Treatment
There are many tactics and methods used by substance abuse rehab centers as part of the addiction recovery process. One-on-one or group counseling, cognitive behavioral therapy, and nutritional counseling are all things available to someone in search or rehab for drug addiction.
Professionals will work with you to tailor a treatment program to your individual needs. Open communication from all parties involved is a crucial part of the addiction recovery process.

City & Heavy Duty
CITY & HEAVY DUTY The large range of saddles depicted here are all intended for an altogether more leisurely type of cycling, where the rider will typically adopt a more upright position than either the racing or long distance touring cyclist. Such an upright riding position, offering excellent opportunities to fully observe as well as truly appreciate ones surroundings, means that a greater proportion of body weight is supported by the rear quarter. As more weight is applied to the rear of the saddle this area is therefore wider.

Pitchnut Origins Confirmed
Nine hours after speaking with Albert Brunelle, I found myself at a contra dance in Greenfield, MA. By chance, the band of the night was Tidal Wave, whose members were from Montreal, Quebec City and the Acadian region. My recent quest is to ask every person I meet from Quebec if they've heard of (my version of) pitchnut. When the intermission started I made my way on stage and asked the Accordion player if he'd heard of or played pichenotte. He said he'd played as a kid. I asked him if it had pegs or alleys. He said the surface was flat. He'd never heard of a board with pegs or alleys (this confirmed my research thus far). I then asked the fiddle player, Eric Favreau, who lives in Quebec City. He grew up playing pichenotte and said that he preferred to play on boards with pegs and alleys- the version is superior to the other version. I became a tad disappointed as it occured to me that maybe pitchnut is not as rare as I've thought all along, so I asked him where he was orignally from. "A village south of Sherbrooke," he said. "Coaticook?" I asked. "Yes!" he responded, "you've heard of it?" "As of noon, today," I replied. "Were your parents born in Coaticook?" I asked. "No, they were from a small village named St. Hermenegilde, just north of Vermont." With a lot of excitement I told him about the 85-year-old man in Connecticut I had spoken to earlier today who grew up in Coaticook who told me about a man named Scalabrini who built pichenotte boards with screws and alleys. It looks like a may have finally found the needle in the haystack! I'm now sending emails and photos of pitchnut boards to everyone I can find in Coaticook and St. Hermenegilde. Of course, I don't speak French, but I'm hoping they can read English (given that St. Hermenegilde is four miles north of Vermont, it's highly likely). I'm going to drive up Columbus Day weekend and see if I can find any old Pitchnut boards. I even found a list of four generations of Scalabrinis on the web.
When I drove up to Sherbrooke in April I missed the boat. When I drove home, I went southwest towards Burlington, and, not suprisingly, none of the antique stores or shopowners had ever seen pitchnut. If I had driven southeast, I probably would have found myself in the birthplace of pitchnut. Can't wait to hit the road. I would drive up there right now, but I want to spend a couple days exploring. Anyway I can learn French in two weeks?

Ok, after TeamSpeed posted that his Σ8-16mm works on every camera under the sun, some of them newer than my 80D, I decided to start over with my 12-24 on the 80D. I got home this morning, and ran the focus from MFD to infinity a few dozen times, cleaned all the contacts, and re-flashed the 80D firmware. I'm not sure what exactly fixed it, but it is now working. My 80D can lock focus at any focal length, wide open. It is a bit slow, but that is the lens. I only tested out to about 5'; at that distance and f/8, the entire world is in focus. More importantly, it works just as well at MFD and wide open. It even works in light low enough to kick on the annoying 80D flash assist strobe.
Thanks all. Now I start my hunt for a nice Sigma 8-16mm. Anyone need a Sigma 12-24 II? I am still debating whether or not to sell the 6D. My fast(er) primes really shine on the 6D.

We started off our morning with a little photo shoot, and for the first time in a long time Evelyn decided to play along. Oh baby, I knew this was going to be a great day!
After we snapped a few photos (okay, a few dozen photos) we loaded up the family and headed off to Gracie's first church experience. It's always interesting to do anything for the first time with a newborn. You just never know what they will tolerate and how they will act when thrown into a new setting. I don't think Evelyn made it more than fifteen minutes through her first church service. After the singing she said, "Sianara!" and totally checked out. Mommy spent the entire rest of the service with her in the nursery. I recall spending a lot of entire Sunday mornings with Evelyn in the nursery, haha. But Gracie is a tad more laid back than her older counterpart, and she made it through the ENTIRE service with just a few quickly quieted fusses. Woot! I just knew this was going to be a great day. Have I said that already? :)
We had lunch with Eric's parents, came home for naps, had dinner with my parents, and then...
Some of the best parts of our day were not captured in a picture. Dressing up and trick or treating was definitely sweet and fun, but being home with my husband and my babies, piling into bed and giggling at our silly Evelyn and our grunty, sleepy baby Grace - that was the best. Those are the moments that I wish that someone else could just follow us around with a video camera and film every detail of our lives. Those are the memories that I want to bottle up so that I can revisit them in technicolor any time I want. It's these times that I ache for and miss mere minutes after they actually happen.
Yes, even this picture loving fool realizes that you can't really live life behind a camera lens. We'll never ever have the sweetest of memories to chronicle and file away neatly in a photo album. And that's a huge motivator for me to continue this blog. Because I hope that one day I can look back at entries like these and realize that the best moments happened in between and after and before the pictures that you see. We had a very Happy Halloween...but Halloween really had nothing to do with it. Today was about our family. Our little foursome, our parents, our grandparents, our siblings...they make life worth living. I hope you had a wonderful October 31st with people that you love, too.
And now I can officially say goodbye to the month of October. You were a great one, pal! But now November is moving in and we've got more memories to make. Some for the pages of the photo albums, and some to be tucked into our hearts and meant only for us to recall in our own minds in the quiet moments of life. So come on, November! I'm ready to live a little more.

Boko Haram insurgents have gone on a killing spree in Baga, Borno State and have reportedly killed thousands of people.
The attack is said to have lasted six days and about 3,000 residents of the town are said to have escaped to Chad.
Here are 10 things you should know about the attack:
It started on Saturday, January 3
Boko Haram initially attacked the military base in Baga which hosts the Multi-National Joint Task Force (MNJTF), made up of troops from Nigeria, Chad and Niger.
The terrorists engaged the troops in a fierce gun battle in the town.
The soldiers attached to the base fled and the facility was taken over by the insurgents.
The terrorists began a killing spree and are said to have killed 2,000 people in the community. Others are said to have drowned while trying to cross into Chad.
The Boko Haram members also burnt houses and levelled the town. Officials say the town of Baga is "virtually non-existent"
The surviving residents of Baga are said to have fled the town leaving it totally empty.
The streets of Baga are said to be littered with corpses as there's no one left to bury the dead.
The terrorists are also said to have burnt down 16 communities in the area.
Amnesty international has described the attack as the deadliest massacre in Boko Haram's history.

Picking quality workplace furniture and extras such as lighting, desks, chairs and floor mats, needs more than simply a passing idea. Whether it includes office or Fortune 500 business, cautious scrutiny in furnishing and accessorizing your workplace could make a difference in the health and comfort of the body as well as simple wear and tear of office flooring.
The Importance of Lighting
Lighting has a profound impact on an individual's performance in the workplace. With accurate lighting, it could reduce double vision, headaches and tiredness triggered by reflectivity of intense things such as printed documentation or computer displays in excess lighting.
Desk lamps are a variable form of subsidiary lighting. A workplace desk lamp can include a charismatic design, as well as a glare-free atmosphere that will help avoid eyestrain and tiredness.
Choosing the Right Workdesk
Space is constantly a concern when it comes to selecting the best desk. If your desk has restricted area, you might have a requirement for a desk created for more than a single function.
Buying the finest desk for an office is an important financial investment that might last a business's lifetime. Time and consideration are essential in choosing a desk.
A Comfortable Chair Can Alleviate Back Pain and Poor Circulation
Back assistance and leg flow are important to good posture and health while working. Sitting at a desk for lengthy periods can be very challenging since it applies extreme pressure to the lower back and upper thighs which triggers leg pain or pain in the back. Keeping the backbone in a neutral position is essential in maintaining good posture and reducing the annoyance of back pain and bad blood flow.
An individual's desk chair must accommodate them. If another person is using the chair, it is essential for the chair to have enough adjustability to suit each user. When searching for a desk chair, look for a "waterfall edge" situated at the front of the chairs seat pan.
Reducing Maintenance Costs on Flooring
When it concerns securing workplace floors, depending upon the type of flooring, maintenance can include waxing, stripping, buffing or replacement. When a person is working at their desk, they may not constantly be restricted to one location. Their work might include rolling from their desk to a file cabinet, telephone, wastebasket or another desk. No matter which kind of flooring is made use of in an office, wear and tear becomes apparent. Carpeting fibers are pulled up, linoleum is punctured, and hardwood or tile floors are harmed. A lot of flooring types are not created for the incredible quantity of pressure created by rolling workplace chairs. They may also not be suitable for wheel chair mobility. Making use of chair mats might limit the security issues involved where a location is not appropriately floored for wheel chairs and at the same time, reduce the maintenance needed to any floor.
Picking a required chair mat for any workstation starts by identifying what type of flooring the mat will be covering.: How much floor space is used while working at your desk and its surrounding areas? Chair mats must cover more than the immediate location in front of a desk.
There are numerous elements involved in selecting accurate lighting, a comfortable chair, a large desk and appropriate chair mats. Expected by the step of time spent working in the workplace each day, neglecting these elements could result in strained eyes, bad posture, desk clutter and avoidable damage and maintenance.
If your desk has restricted space, you might have a need for a desk developed for more than a single purpose. When browsing for a desk chair, look for a "waterfall edge" situated at the front of the chairs seat pan. Their work may consist of rolling from their desk to a file cabinet, telephone, wastebasket or another desk. Chair mats need to cover more than the instant location in front of a desk. There are various aspects involved in picking accurate lighting, a comfortable chair, a spacious desk and proper chair mats.

Choose Wisely, Mount Intelligently, But
Don't Be Afraid To Mix Things Up A Bit
By Dave Anderson
Back in 1961 when I turned 12 and was old enough for my own deer rifle, choices in a bolt action were Winchester, Savage or Remington. It would be chambered in .270, .30-06, or the then-avant-garde .308.
Yes, there were also rifles from Browning, Weatherby, Steyr-Mannlicher, Sako, but they were for rich people. Not only did I not know any rich people, I didn't know anyone who knew rich people.
Then came scope selection—Weaver, Leupold, Redfield or Bausch & Lomb. It would be either 2-1/2 or 4X. That's a total of … 3x3x4x2 = 72 possible combinations—more than enough for many a ferocious campfire debate.
To this day I'm an inveterate scope swapper, indecisive as ever. Sometimes after a few tries my scope/rifle combo seems just right. I do have a few setups I don't plan on changing. At least not in the near future!
The virtually unlimited choices we have today are a wonderful thing, but can be perplexing. I certainly sympathize with a young shooter who has bought a rifle, and needs a scope. Could I make a recommendation? I could probably list a couple hundred and they would all work. Not helping, I know. About all I can do is suggest a few guidelines, along with a couple of ideas on how to get the most value for your money.
The first consideration is, what are you trying to accomplish? If the scope is for a hunting rifle, what are you planning to hunt? What hunting method do you expect to use most often—from a stand, still hunting, small group drives, spot and stalk? Will you be mostly sitting in a comfortable blind a 1/2-mile off the road, or hiking back into rough, hilly terrain? Do you get out early and stay out late when the light is dim?
Your level of experience is another issue. Novice shooters often seem to hunt around to get a full field of view to pick up the target. The rifle is shaky enough already without magnifying the wobble 8 or 10 times. Such shooters may be better served with a lower-power scope with non-critical eye relief and a large field of view. They'll shoot better, which means they'll enjoy shooting more, and pretty soon they won't be novices.
Some conditions—and some shooters—are hard on scopes. Adjustments may work fine for those who want to sight the rifle in and then leave it alone, yet not prove durable enough for those who like to spin turrets for different distances and wind conditions.
Heavy recoil, especially fast heavy recoil, is tough on scopes. So is constant jiggling, such as in the rack of an off-road vehicle. And as the Corb Lund song goes, some people are just Hard on Equipment.
The scope size should be compatible with the rifle. I like the scope rings to be fairly near the ends of the main tube, but at least 1/4-inch away from the power adjustment ring, the adjustment turrets, and the front bell. A third or half the scope extending out past the front ring looks wrong to me, though I admit to having some such setups and they do work.
What about weather conditions? Do you expect to hunt in extremes of cold, heat, rain, snow, dust? How much shooting will you be doing with this rifle, 100 rounds a month or 50 rounds a year? Last but by no means least, how much are you prepared to spend?
At left, a Sako Finnlight .243 with a Swarovski Z3 3-10×42. At right, a
Savage Lightweight Hunter .260 Rem with a Burris Fullfield II 3-9×40.
Dave would like to see the rings near the ends of the main tube, but
without getting too close to the power ring, adjustment turrets,
or front scope bell.
It took me a long time to learn the wisdom of the old adage, "Only a rich man can afford a cheap scope." In my penniless youth I begrudged money spent on scopes, when the same money could go towards ammo or even another rifle. I've probably broken more scopes than many shooters have owned (happily, never during a hunt). Fixed or variable, it didn't matter—what they had in common was they were cheap. I'd rather buy a good name-brand used scope than a new $59.95 blister-pack "Big Box" special.
With scopes the old rule "you get what you pay for" applies, though I suppose there are exceptions at both ends of the price spectrum. A couple other economic principles apply. One is diminishing returns. Additional production costs bring progressively smaller returns in quality.
Another is the concept of fixed and variable costs. Property taxes (just one example of a fixed cost) are the same whether the company makes 100 scopes or 10,000. Higher volume means lower cost per unit, and vice versa. Because scopes in the 3-9×40 range are so popular, they tend to be exceptionally good values.
Check what sort of warranty and service the manufacturer offers. Don't just check what they put in writing; ask around among your shooting buddies and see how customers are really treated. Among consumer products in general, scope manufacturers are exceptionally good in guaranteeing their product and keeping customers happy.
To get the most value for your money, be realistic about how rifle and scope will be used. Most big game rifles get shot a lot less than people think. The average casual hunter who owns one big game rifle probably shoots no more than 20 to 50 rounds annually. The rifle enthusiasts who read gun magazines usually shoot a lot more, but they generally own several rifles to share the workload.
I promised a couple tips on getting the most value for your money. Remember the law of diminishing returns? Well, it works in reverse as well. You can save a lot of money while not giving up much.
Realistically, if your rifle will be fired maybe 50 to 100 times a year, you don't plan to spin turrets, you're pretty good about not dropping your rifle in a creek or out of a tree stand, and you're not shooting an 8-pound .416 Rem, you have lots of options. A $200–$300 3-9×40 from any reputable manufacturer will provide a lifetime of satisfactory service.
In the foreground a combo from the 1970s—a BSA Royal .222 Rem on a short Brno action
with a Weaver T10 Microtrac scope, one of the first with reliable, repeatable and
durable turret adjustments. The reason it doesn't get out much anymore is in the
background: a Kimber Montana .223 Rem with Bushnell Elite Tactical 5-15×40 in Leupold
Dual Dovetail bases/rings. Although the scopes extend past the front ring farther than
Dave likes to see, he can't say it's caused him a problem.
Now let's say some of those conditions do apply. If you shoot a lot, spin turrets, hunt rain or shine, snow or sleet, shoot long range with powerful cartridges, the best you can afford is none too good. Or maybe you just want a top-of-the-line scope. You're a free American and wanting it is reason enough.
Most of us who like rifles probably have more than one, probably a half-dozen or more. Instead of buying six $300 scopes, consider buying the high-end $1,800 scope you've always wanted, and moving it from rifle to rifle. Yes, I know the arguments against such a philosophy, but I also know it can work because I practice it.
What got me thinking along these lines is a truly remarkable scope, the 2.5-10×42 Nightforce NXS. It is the most versatile scope I've ever used. If I owned just one scope, this would be it. I've used it with .22 LR rimfires, bolt-action and semi-auto .223/5.56, a Weatherby Vanguard 6.5 Creedmoor, and a heavy-barrel Tikka .308.
I don't yet have a rail on my .375 H&H but when I do it'll work fine on it as well. I've used this scope for target shooting at 1,000 yards and for hunting whitetails in the last few minutes of daylight.
Adjustments are accurate, reliable, and durable, the glass is excellent, and for low light I can press a button and illuminate the reticle (either green or red).
Changing scopes can be a pain if it means changing or moving rings, and burning up a dozen rounds to resight. What makes it practical is the use of Picatinny rails. With a rail on each rifle, the changeover takes about a minute. Loosen the bolts and lift scope and rings off Rifle A, set them on Rifle B, and use the Brownells torque wrench to tighten the crossbolts to 65 in-lb.
It won't be sighted in, of course, due to differences in cartridge trajectory and minor differences in rifles. But in my experience it will be close enough to hit a 2×2-foot target at 100 yards. Then use the accurate adjustments to dial in the required correction.
If you're the trusting sort you could get by with just one shot, theoretically. But I'm not, and anyway I like shooting so I'll fire a few more rounds. Then reset the turrets to zero and refer to the appropriate range card for come-ups and windage adjustments.
Rails cost a bit more than regular scope bases, but you only need one set of rings. I won't argue it is a perfect system, but a little inconvenience in return for the use of a top-end optic is not a bad tradeoff.

Tricks of the Trade: JobScan
Occasionally, one of my clients may send me an online posting and say "Write me a resume and cover letter for that."
Now, customizing your application to an online posting can be a downright frustrating experience. We're told to "match key words" and "mirror language," but which key words? What language? We all know that your resume and cover letter should be adjusted to apply for each unique posting, however, few of us feel confident when actually doing the adjusting.
What I do when writing a targeted resume is run the final copy versus the posting text in JobScan.
JobScan is a resume optimization tool that takes the text of your resume and scans it against a posting of your choosing. It analyzes the post for keywords and important content, then spits out a report on how your resume stacks up.
Why is this important? Because of Applicant Tracking Systems.
ATS technology is how HR managers are able to parse and critically analyze thousands of resumes every day. Whereas hiring managers look for misspelled words, bad grammar, and skill deficits in order to eliminate candidates (a tedious process, no doubt), ATS searches for keyword matches and ranks resumes by the frequency of these matches. If your resume mirrors 4 out of the 10 selected keywords for a job posting, you will be ranked lower in terms of candidacy than a resume that matches 5 out of 10. It's a cold, robotic process, but ATS is an integral part of the 21st-century job hunting process. Understanding ATS and how you can work with it, rather than against it, is crucial to achieving professional success.
That's why JobScan is such a handy tool: it explains, in plain English, what you can do to "avoid the void" and have your application get past that first, brutally exclusive hurdle.
In addition to keyword analysis, JobScan can also identify if the job in question requires an advanced degree or any specific hard/soft skills. It even shows a visual comparison of the skills necessary for the job and how your resume compares.
For what it's worth, I do NOT work for this company nor do I have any association with it whatsoever. It's just a handy tool that has saved my butt many times over and is accessible (and incredibly useful) to anyone looking to polish and hone their resume. Give it a shot!
Resolve to own a better resume
Warning: this post will contain some hard pills to swallow.
Happy New Year, friends! The inevitable annual changeover has come and gone and left everything and everyone feeling fresh and new. If you're the resolution-setting type, this is your perfect opportunity to lay out your attack strategy for 2017. You might plan to lose a little weight; perhaps you'll ditch the cigarettes and opt for a vaporizer instead.
Or maybe, like many professionals, this will be the year you move up the ladder, break into a new industry, or simply find that job you've been dreaming of for so long. You'll need to pull up (or dust off) the old resume. It could definitely use some updates and a little polish to make it shine. How hard can that be?
The pills
That's the number researchers arrived at when trying to determine how long a recruiter will spend reviewing your resume.
That's how many applications, on average, an employer receives for just one position posted online.
That's how many applicants, on average, are granted interviews post-application. If you and 249 other people apply for a job, only 5 (or 2%) will be called in for an interview. And since there's only one position available and there are five of you… Well, you do the math.
"Shave and a haircut, two bits"
Applying for a job is like knocking on the door of a Prohibition-era speakeasy. If you don't know the knock code, a metal slat will slide open to reveal two steely, angry eyes and a gruff voice will tell you to beat it. Worse yet, you may get no response at all and be forced to stand there, haplessly waiting for a reply that's never going to come.
But if you know the coded pattern of knocking that the bouncer wants to hear, you're in.
Now let's apply that analogy to the job hunt: the club is the company; the bouncer is the hiring manager; and your knock is your resume.
So what's the code?
Would you do your own plumbing?
A few years back, researchers performed a study that paired recruiters with eye-tracking technology. Here's a quick synopsis of that project and its findings:
To summarize: recruiters read a lot of resumes, so they spend very little time on each one. To make your resume most effective, information should be presented strategically and in a hierarchy.
In that same study, the researchers used a Likert scale, which is a type of scale that employs questionnaires that offer users a variety of choices (for example, "strongly agree" or "strongly disagree"). On a scale of 1 to 7, the recruiters gave an average "usability" rating of 3.9 to self-written resumes, whereas professionally written resumes earned a whopping 6.2.
The difference, as the research shows, is that professionally written resumes offer clear visual hierarchies and display the most important, relevant information right where recruiters expect to find it. In short, having your resume professionally rewritten makes the most out of six seconds.
Make a resolution that matters
Even if you're not the resolution-setting type, right now is the perfect opportunity to do something progressive for your career.
It doesn't matter what field or industry you're in, or how prestigious (or not-so-prestigious) your job title is. It doesn't matter if you're an old veteran seeking advancement or a newbie looking for entry-level positions. What does matter is that we're all looking to gain entry to the club – and that we all need to know that coded knock pattern to get in.

HIPAA Compliant Colocation
Compromised security can significantly interfere with a healthcare organization's ability to care for patients. Healthcare IT threats, such as computer viruses, hackers, and human error can surface everywhere and threaten mission critical applications and patient data. Healthcare organizations need secure, reliable, and HIPAA compliant colocation solutions.
Healthcare IT Challenges
Although a healthcare organization's primary directive involves delivering quality patient care, it must also:
- Comply with government mandates
- Manage a growing amount of data
- Maintain robust data security
- Provide uninterrupted access to IT resources
- Connect networks of healthcare providers in real-time
- Keep IT costs low
A Safe and Secure Healthcare IT Environment
Having to meet IT requirements takes the focus away from a healthcare provider's core activities. However, a HIPAA compliant colocation provider can help improve performance by:
- Playing an important role in protecting patient data and ensuring privacy - A HIPAA compliant colocation provider can offer cost-efficient, quality solutions for medical centers, hospitals, clinics, private practice physicians, and other healthcare related businesses.
- Providing a foundation for the high-density environments needed to house the increasing amount of data used in healthcare operations - Creating electronic medical records and storing them for longer periods require a solution that can handle high-density operations.
- Offering the required network and physical security for regulatory compliance - Compliant colocation providers tightly regulate who can enter the building, go onto the data center floor, maintain equipment, and view server environments.
- Creating a more resilient environment than most premise-based data centers - Healthcare organizations must be able to rebuild IT infrastructures after an unplanned outage. Through redundancy of critical systems, HIPAA compliant colocation eliminates downtime.
- Offering carrier-neutral Internet connectivity - Colocation connectivity allows healthcare organizations to connect networks and health information in real-time. The healthcare IT environment will increase in complexity as mergers continue. So, the need for more interconnected data centers will grow.
- Eliminating capital requirements and lowering operating expenses - Complying with government reforms creates financial pressure across the healthcare industry. Healthcare organizations must look for better ways to deploy and manage IT operations. Colocation eliminates the huge capital costs involved in building, staffing, and maintaining an in-house data center. Colocation also reduces operating expenses. The cost of energy alone can double for an in-house data center compared to a typical office building.
Many healthcare organizations struggle with security, reliability, and compliance issues. The right HIPAA compliant colocation solution combines healthcare, technological, industry, and regulatory standards expertise.
For more information on HIPAA compliant colocation, please contact us or call 855.495.0098.

I recently met with a wonderful couple on the verge of retirement who've been living with the same living room décor for 20 years. They have a comfy space, with grand ceilings and enormous windows like you only see in houses that are a hundred years old. But after 20 years of family living, the space is, not surprisingly, looking a little tired – and dated.
Tired and dated.
Not exactly the feeling you want to evoke when you walk into your sanctuary! They told me that they're looking for a formal – but not intimidating space that's in keeping with their home's Victorian roots. They wanted airy and light, but nothing too colorful, and nothing too neutral. Sounded like a straightforward and fun design plan in the making! But then they threw me a little curve ball. They have a dark leather sofa and loveseat that they don't love the look of, but do absolutely adore how comfortable they are. Therefore, they must stay! Well, apparently they're not exactly what either of us would choose if we were starting from scratch, but I assured them, I will make them work!
So how do you work two dark, heavy sofas into a light and airy room design? Let me walk you through what I decided to do!
1. Balance
Good design is always about balance! Balancing bold colors with soothing ones, heavy objects with light, texture with sheen. Balance, balance, balance is key. So in this room, I'm working with not one heavy object, but two! And they are, well basically, black! Now don't get me wrong, I love black for certain applications, but it definitely does not define light and airy. Okay, so I'm balancing these heavy sofas with a gorgeous, light as a feather but still present, coffee table. The lines are soft, thin, and feminine, which will be the perfect accompaniment to these MANLY sofas. I also chose to do them in an antique brass finish with antique mirror glass tops, which will help to reflect back some light that those sofas will be absorbing! Ditto on the side tables.
2. Pattern
When you're working with heavy objects in a design, a good way to lighten the load is with lighthearted patterns. You want movement, femininity, and lightness. I chose a semi-translucent drape with these beautiful but fragile looking willow branches. The pattern is refined, but kind of makes you want to hang out and read a good book! Formal, but not intimidating. Check! The pattern on the orange pillows is feminine, but the jute fabric gives them more of a girl next door attitude.
3. Lighten it up!
I didn't want the end result to have a matchy, matchy, I bought the whole set look, so I decided to go with a beautiful pedestal side table to go between the two
huge beasts leather sofas *wink.* The table itself has these gorgeous traditional lines, but instead of going with the more traditional dark wood finish, I went with the weathered white finish, which isn't purely white, or too distressed, but is going to perfectly lighten up the space. The wall color is an ethereal gray/barely blue, depending on the time of day. I chose pillows that are light in color and some with a feminine pattern. Again, perfect for lightening up the space, and the perfect way to balance a whole lotta manly!
Here's where it's headed, folks! Install day is scheduled for next week! I will post photos when it's done!

While some people prefer brand new wheels every few years, others have a different mentality – why fix something when it's not broken? Sometimes you might feel sentimental towards a certain vehicle and want to keep it running as long as possible. Perhaps you have a classic car or vintage beauty that you still like to take for a spin! Older cars can be great assets as long as they are maintained well. Find out how to keep maintaining an older car.
Of course, you will experience wear and tear with older vehicles and cars that have done well over 100,000 miles. Expect to spend quite a bit on repairs and maintenance, and don't presume it will pass every MOT! However, there are some ways you can keep maintaining an older car for decades and make it worth your while. Follow some of Windmill Garage's top tips for maintaining older cars.
Treat it well on the road
If you love your car and want her to last, then you need to think about how you drive. Harsh breaking, over accelerating and other bad driving habits will only increase the amount of wear and tear on the vehicle. The best way to maintain a car is to be gentle with it in the driving seat.
Keep an emergency fund
When running an older car, you'll often find that things go wrong, and it's usually at a time when you really can't afford repairs. If you know something is wrong with the vehicle and you ignore the warning signs, you'll be looking at a huge bill from the mechanic. The bigger the cost of the repair, the more likely you'll be tempted into the new car dealership! Keep some money aside each month for any unexpected repairs or replacements.
Follow the owner's manual
It sounds obvious, but following the maintenance schedule in the owner's manual is absolutely crucial. Some parts may need replacing after you hit a certain mileage, and you should always follow the guidelines for getting your car serviced. Nobody is going to force you to look after the car as the manufacturer recommends, it's your responsibility.
Keep it clean
Looking after your car is about more than just the engine. Keeping it clean and tidy on the outside can prevent rust and generally keep the car in better all-round health. Salt and grime can cause problems, so make sure you wash your car regularly and even give it a wax every now and then to protect the paintwork.
If you need more advice for maintaining an older car or need a repair, speak to your local garage.

I for one am sick and tired of waiting for the team to fix their problems while alienating legitimate customers like me and you. xiaNaix, mod at wiinewz, said he pleaded with them to release an update sooner but they refuse to do so. I was just thinking, what about we create unofficial wiikey firmware to fix the audio fix by possible porting over some open source code from wiifree??? Is the code on the wiikey encrypted? The wiikey needs to be updated and I'm sick of team Xeno.

2014 What Is Going To Happen
Dated: 12/02/2013
Views: 695
What's in Store for 2014The National Assocation of REALTORS Chief Economist Lawrence Yun recently commented on where he sees our nation's real estate market in 2014. CLICK HERE to read the full article.
Yun predicts home prices to rise 6% in 2014, nationally. He also predicts that we will see interest rates climb to 5.3% (we are currently hovering around 4.0%) and the number of homes sold to stay relatively flat in 2014.
Here are my thoughts on what I think will happen locally. We have returned to a more standard inventory level. At the beginning of this year we had unprecedentedly low inventory, hence the boom in new construction and the increase in median sales price. However, since January our inventory has went up almost 60% in Ada County. This is a pretty sizable jump but still has our inventory levels below what we consider normal. I see our inventory staying fairly close to where it's at right now through 2014 with some moderate fluctuation throughout the year.
Much like Yun, I predict interest rates to go up. They have been artificially low for such a long period of time that up is the only direction they can go. The government is the biggest buyer of mortgage backed security bonds (MBSB). They have said on many occasions that they want to slowly pull out of that market. So, in order for the private sector to find MBSB as viable investment, interest rates have to go up.
Yun predicts home values to increase roughly 6% in 2014. I don't think he is too far off when I look at our Treasure Valley.
There were a lot of home sales this year but 2014 will be less. Sales have slowed dramatically this fall due to the fact that so many people purchased the first half of this year. 2014 sales won't be dramatically less than this year but I think we'll see new construction soften, a modest increase in median sales price, "average" inventory levels and increased interest rates.
What to take out of this? Most of these statistics are inconsequential...except one. Interest rates. Interest rates will go up. Period. If you are one of those buyers waiting for a better interest rate in 2014, don't hold your breath. My advice to any buyer out there is to buy and buy soon. If you are a seller looking to sell - get ready now. I would have your house ready to sell and on the market by March 1st. The lower the interest rates are the more it benefits the seller. By the second quarter I think we will see some interest rate increases.

They can also look at other aspects of care, such as improving the quality of life for people with chronic illness. People participate in clinical trials for a variety of reasons. Healthy volunteers say they participate to help others to and to contribute to moving science forward.

Meet the Designer
Suzi O'Brien is an award-winning interior designer who specializes in Sustainable Design. Her clients delight in her process, which helps them discover and express their own style. With this as a foundation, she created luxurious, functional living spaces, combining beauty and concern for the environment. Her priority is use of environmentally friendly materials, nontoxic finishes, and fabrics, tile and other components made of recycled content. The result is a healthy and productive home that brings joy to everyday life.
Susan earned an associate's degree in interior design to complement her master's and bachelor's degrees in social work. She's a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Green Associate (LEED GA), and a talented project manager with a skill-set that includes color rendering, architectural drawing, and 3D sketching. Susan is also an active member of the National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA), U.S. Green Building Council—San Diego Chapter (USGBC SD), and Ocean Beach Main Street Association (OBMA). She's also an allied member of the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) and a Certified Aging in Place Specialist (CAPS).
Why the combination of Eco and Luxury?
It is my responsibility as an Interior Designer and a Mom to invite options for sustainability and renewable energy. I have a direct line of communication with the emerging world of energy saving options, healthy choices in materials, and my client. Because of that, I have an obligation to my client and our environment to suggest these emerging options. I find that clients are curious and open to choices that more positively impact their health and the future health of our planet.
Luxury is Green
Luxury is… Quality, Healthy, Beautiful, Organic, Local, Hand-made, Renewable, Recyclable, Natural, Clean Air, and Clean Water.
Here's what to expect…
During the first visit, Susan will come to your house and you'll be able to talk to her about your living space and what changes you would like to consider. Susan is very open and will give you a copy of her contract and sit down with you to review it together. She will answer your questions about timing, pricing, and how you might proceed. Susan knows you will want to know how much time in design fees and how much this or that might cost. While it's not possible to know exactly how much time a designer will spend on each project, I will provide you with a range of general estimates so that you can make decisions to keep within your budget. The majority of the time will be spent on you showing her around your home and outdoor living areas and then generating a list of things you feel are priorities. Then she'll order them based on importance and budget considerations. She will give you many ideas about design options for rearranging flow of people and functions, storage ideas, and whatever else you need new creative solutions for.
While talking to Susan, she will ask you questions about who lives at your home and what goes on there on a daily, weekly and monthly basis. For lighting, she will want to know what goes on early in the morning, at noon, and into the evening. You can expect questions such as "do you have a romantic spot with soft lighting to have an intimate dinner in?" or "do you have parties?" and "do you wish that your home would look and feel great so you could be proud to entertain & host parties?" You can tell her about daily things such as cooking, eating, sleeping, fun time, family time, alone time, friends, homework, clutter, hobbies, working from home, overnight visitors, storage, bathing, relaxing, and privacy.
When you invite Susan back, you will review your priorities and get started immediately. She usually starts by obtaining a floor plan from her clients, but if you don't have one, she'll simply measure your home and create one. You'll work together to define and elaborate on your style, colors, and the mood desired in each room as well as the overall feel you desire in your home. She prepares concept/style options, sketches and source furniture, finishes and all the elements and accessories you want. All of this is done withyou in control of how much time is spent on each project and you'll both work together to keep choices and decisions within your budget. She will guide you to develop your home the way you want to envision it, filled with casual elegance, beauty and ease of function. Afterwards, you'll be sure to fill your home with laughter, parties, and beautiful reminders of your most cherished memories.
The work between you and Susan can take place over the course of a few weeks or several months—it's up to you. However, always remember that homes evolve along with the families that love them.

Unicef - Three wise men
Swiss took the opportunity to do some pro bono work for a good cause in collaboration with Acne Production and Forsman & Bodenfors for Unicef. One of the major tasks was depicting a fictional city of Bethlehem as an establishing shot in the commercial named "Three Wise Men", directed by Tomas Skoging and Torbjörn Martin. The goal was to construct a busy, crowded-looking shot of a city as if seen through a long lens. Marko Ljubez from Swiss was on location for a few days to supervise the shoot and with the rest of the crew in Ouarzazate, Morocco. The main shoot took place at the grand Atlas Studios. Marko was also collecting material around Ait Benhaddou and other parts of the desert in preparation for the mattepaintings that had to be created. We then finished the job in a 10 day post schedule.
We are proud of the result. Let us know what you think. Swiss hopes it will help Unicef to sell a lot of Christmas presents this year.
