The client for this apartment renovation is a fashion designer with a strong interest in industrial design and in design history. In response to the client's interests, the design features a number of found objects provided by the client as well as unusual materials. These materials are selected to engage the occupant's visual and tactile sensibilities. The overall space is a rectangular floor-through, with windows on each of the short sides of the plan. Bringing light into the interior spaces was an important design goal.
The entry vestibule is a contained volume, setting the tone for the apartment with a mid-century style industrial glazing system and large sliding door hung on antique rollers. Translucent glass allows light into the vestibule. The floor is slate with a small patch of live grass that takes advantage of the natural light.
Entering the apartment, one faces the kitchen enclosure. Again, this is made in the same paneled glazing system as at the foyer; a blackened steel frame with glazing held by a bead of glazing putty as is typical in turn of the century industrial structures. The kitchen enclosure shields the kitchen from the entry but is open to the living/dining area. This accommodates an open entertaining style while controlling views and smells from affecting the entire space
The kitchen sculpted from a rich assortment of materials resulting in a component/assembly affect. Kitchen cabinetry is made of multi-ply maple plywood with black Richlite counters. This material is a composite product of recycled paper. The first cabinets above the counter are made of an acrylic sheet material made by Lightblocks with a custom colored interstitial layer that closely matches the maple and an iridescent finish with a gold metallic reflection from some angles. The subtle shift between these materials, their translucencies and surface qualities engage the viewer in different ways depending on position and lighting. Rust-colored phenolic panels cap the end of the upper cabinets and the sides of the moving storage unit/bar emphasize the crisp edge details. The storage unit/bar bar is mounted on rollers allowing it to be shifted easily allowing the kitchen to open fully, extending the living space and allowing different configurations whenever entertaining demands. The face of this unit is also a translucent acrylic panel that looks opaque from the living dining areas and allows natural light into the cabinet on the kitchen side.
In the living/dining space, sliding plywood doors on found antique rollers hide the stereo and AV equipment unobtrusively.
An open corridor links the public area to the private bedroom/bathroom area. A series of spaces provide areas for guest bathroom, home office and line this corridor which terminates in the master bedroom suite. These spaces are separated by sliding or pivoting panels in a variety of translucent materials including fiberglass, woven leather and translucent glass. A recycled beam that the client found was integrated into the support for the guestroom/study panels which are a wood frame with an infill woven in leather by the client. One side of this room incorporates a built in study and storage unit the other is paneled with industrial concrete panels.
The master bedroom suite takes up the full width of the apartment on the southern side. A dressing area/closet and the master bath provide a solid mass separating the bedroom from the rest of the space. In the bathroom the sink is solid onyx, lit from below. It spans across the width of the space in front of a full height steel and glass enclosure to provide a bright naturally lit space. The bath tub area is lined in solid Corian. The door to the bathroom is a sliding steel and translucent glass door. The linen closet in the bathroom incorporates a pair of antique Indian doors (not shown): juxtaposing the found item seamlessly into the modern condition.
Opposite the bath there is a walk-in closet of paneled in maple. This ends two feet short of the ceiling, to allow natural light into the dressing area and allow for a more open feeling to the room. The master bedroom on the other side of the closet is kept very simple and open.

text: People are so darn interesting and complex and strange; everyone has a story that is layered and mysterious and to some degree incomprehensible. Everyone is damaged and gifted. Everyone is ambivalent about everything. Everyone. So the work for me is not coming up with characters, but paring down and choosing from the crowd in my head. It's the mystery and complexity that inspire me most -- what does this person's life or situation mean? How do we make sense of all this weirdness in life? Chekhov is a touchstone for me, in that he didn't worry too much about plot points; his primary goal was to show/render/reveal a life, a character, a moment -- as honestly as possible. Story, I think, is born from there.

The brother of Saad al-Hilli, the British-Iraqi father who was shot dead along with his wife and mother-in-law in the French Alps, has denied there was a feud over money going on between the two, according to French prosecutor Eric Maillaud.
"I have no conflict, no feud with my brother," the brother, who has not been named, reportedly told British police. He added that he had heard about the deaths on television.
Maillaud confirmed the identities of the British family members whose bodies were found in a country lane in a popular beauty spot in southeast France. The information had come from four-year-old Zaina, who was found hidden beneath her mother's legs where she had stayed for eight hours.
"She did not see anything," the prosecutor said. "The little girl was terrorised. She rushed under her mother's legs. She heard, but she didn't see anything."
He said the girl was likely to return to Britain soon.
The body of a fourth victim - a French cyclist - was found near the family car.
Earlier reports suggested there was a family dispute between the two brothers about money. "This seems to be credible information coming from British police," Maillaud originally told AFP.
A British cyclist who found the bodies reported seeing a green 4x4 car and a motorbike racing towards the murder scene before he arrived.
However, sources in the area suggested that French investigators were hunting a black-shirted driver of a white 4x4 Peugeot which was seen speeding away from the scene.
One witness told Sky News: "It was a white car, a small one with a man inside and I think he was alone. Brown hair, I believe.
"No one takes that turn that fast because there is no visibility. You have to slow down and that was really too fast."
According to Maillaud those who carried out the attack were "not scared to kill".
About 25 bullet casings were found in and around the car.
"We really don't know in what order the deaths took place," he said, adding that the nearest CCTV camera is 30km away from the scene.
The prosecutor told Dauphiné Libéré newspaper: "This case looks more and more like an ambush even if we are not sure this is the work of a professional."

I've tallied 88 finished and blogged items that I sewed in 2013. Some things didn't make it on the blog for one reason or another (perhaps they were muslins, were really poor fits, I never got around to blogging about them or they just sucked and were not worthy of recording them on the internet for posterity.) So I'll estimate around 100 items were sewn. Click on any of the images, it will take you to my blog post about it.
Favorite Pattern of 2013
I declared it "My favorite pattern" in January and it's still true one year later. An interesting coincidence, I started 2013 with Vogue 8663 and am starting 2014 with the EXACT same pattern! I made it three times for myself last year and this week I'm sewing up one in a gorgeous shade of red for a very good, lifelong friend. The floral one I made for my birthday in July and the white one was for family Christmas photos. I'll likely use this pattern again, it's basic, it's simple and a blank palette for so many interesting prints. I picked up Vogue 8944 a couple weeks ago because it's basically the same dress but has some piecing that will use smaller bits of fabric I have.
Favorite & Most Worn Garment of 2013
I made McCall's 6744 three times (here, here and here.) I'd say it was my #1 Summer Sewing Pattern of 2013. I wore this blue and white polka dot dress so much that the fabric is fading... and I'll keep wearing it this summer, I'll probably make this dress again, too! I'm a stay at home mom and this sort of garment just works for me.

In the third big case taking him from his home in San Francisco to his native Japan, antiques dealer–cum-detective Jim Brodie tracks down the killers who have been knocking off the members of a friend's family.
Brodie, who inherited the Tokyo-based investigative agency of his American father, badly wants to stay at home looking after his adorable 6-year-old daughter and selling rare ceramic pieces. But after the son of prominent artist Ken Nobuki is murdered, Nobuki himself is shot by a sniper, and other family members are targeted, the bilingual detective travels to Washington, D.C., to protect Nobuki's daughter, Naomi. A well-known reporter, she has made significant enemies with her anti–nuclear power crusades—including, apparently, higher-ups in various U.S. agencies. After being attacked by a guy with knives in Nobuki's hospital room back in San Francisco, Brodie flies off to Tokyo, where he is reunited with Rie, a Tokyo cop with whom he has a budding romance (his wife was murdered), and Noda, the taciturn lead detective at Brodie Security. Brodie's homecoming is spoiled by a scary yakuza member called TNT who forecasts his death and a legendary assassin called Steam Walker who is said never to fail on the job. As ever, Lancet stages some good fight scenes—no one gets beaten up as well as Brodie—and keeps the action going. But while the book is a decent addition to the series, a certain predictability is taking hold of the plotting. Could be that Lancet needs to settle on one locale or find a new one.
The third Jim Brodie thriller is a solid, action-filled effort but lacks the edgy excitement of the first and best installment, Japantown (2013).

I recently found this fascinating story of a legacy of typesetting that still creates a difference between American and British punctuation. Proofreaders have to stay mindful of it when dealing with American conventions.
In the past, compositors (people who lay out printed material with type) found that the small pieces of type would not break off the end of a sentence, so the full stops (periods in the US) and commas would not break off either. For this reason they made the rule that made the rule that full stops and commas had to be placed inside quotation marks. This rule became the convention for how to place commas and full stops in regard to quotation marks.
Then, in the 1900s the Fowlers Brothers campaigned for full stops and commas to be placed outside quotation marks, except for direct speech. This was so the grammar rules would follow logic rather than typesetting convenience. This new rule was adopted for UK English. Its advantage is that placing the full stops and commas outside quotation marks makes it clear that what is inside the quotation marks is a quote or highlighted word and not direct speech.
However, the US did not adopt the rule change. So to this day, UK English follows the rule that full stops and commas go outside quotation marks except in direct speech e.g. "That movie was terrible," said Mark. But US English, they still go inside.
For example:
(US English) I can never remember how to spell "ecstasy."
(UK English) I can never remember how to spell "ecstasy".
This rule applies only to full stops and commas. In both UK and US English all other punctuation, such as semicolons, colons and dashes, always go outside quotation marks. Moreover, some American-based conventions, such as the APA reference style, have adopted the UK rule of full stops and commas outside quotation marks in order to differentiate highlighted words and quotes taken from sources from direct speech.

Pork with apples
Pork. Apples. Onions.
Total comfort food.
We eat this dish a lot, it is incredibly simple, heck, Simon could probably do it. ha.ha.
I received a lovely maple vinegar for my birthday and was waiting for the right moment to use it.
It is labeled as 'sweet and sour', the company doing it is PicBois. Delightful and original.
In Ottawa, you can buy it at The Piggy Market. It seems like no one in Hull/Aylmer/Gatineau is yet carrying it (at least not from the Pic Bois website)
If you don't feel like making your way over there, you can deglaze with Calvados, or brandy, or a mix of white wine, apple cider and a bit of maple. Maple is somewhat like bacon, makes it all taste better!
As for the cut of meat, you can do it with regular chops - I would then simply cook them in the pan along with the apples and onions.
Apple Pork
4 chops, I like bone in, as a roast.
1 yellow onion, diced
1/3 cup Pic Bois Maple vinegar
4 cloves garlic, minced
3 Tbsp butter
2 apples, I prefer Royal Gala, quartered
2 white onion, sliced
1/2 cup white wine
Season the pork with salt and pepper, let it come to room temp. In a pan, cook the diced yellow onion until caramelized, set aside. Heat a tiny bit of oil in a skillet and sear the pork. Add the caramelized onion to the skillet and deglaze with the Pic Bois Maple Vinegar, add the garlic. Transfer to an oven safe dish and cook at 350, uncovered, fat side up, for about 45 minutes. Check internal temperature periodically from this point until it reaches 155, you do not want it to overcook.
In the pan that cooked the yellow onion, add some more butter. On low-medium heat, cook the slices of onion and apple for about 4-5 minutes without flipping or moving. Turn, cook another 4 minutes and add the white wine. Let bubble until syrupy.
When roast is cooked, set aside on a cutting board for 5 minutes to let rest before cutting. Strain the Maple Vinegar into the apple mix, pushing down on the onion and garlic bits to get all the flavour. Serve over the pork with the apples and onion slices.

Insomnia-rificPosted: November 14, 2013 Filed under: demons, Editing, life, Motivation, Writing | Tags: editing, Insomnia, life, Writing Leave a comment
Insomnia is the name of the game lately. Not a productive movie flavored insomnia either. Real, brutal, tired as hell, lie in bed awake insomnia. The kind of depressing sleeplessness where you believe that you should be able to accomplish a bunch of tasks. But in reality you can barely follow the plot lines of sesame street.
The good news is that it seems to be cooling down a bit. Instead of not sleeping for three nights in a row, it's settled down to sleeping OK for a day or two, and then a sleepless night. Which in essence is a big freekin tease! I just start to feel good again. Start to feel productive, and then Bam! nope you're not sleeping tonight.
Fortunately while I've been going through this haze of a mind numbing sleep/awake cycle, not once have I been tempted to quit writing. So that's good I suppose. Not that it means I've been getting much done. A page or two of editing here or there. A few nights I've even been coherent enough to finish a chapter.
So really it's pretty much the story of life in general. Just keep plugging away.
The short version of a long story — Or what the hell happened to me…Posted: October 16, 2013 Filed under: demons, Editing, life, Motivation, Writing 1 Comment
Two words can explain where the hell I've been for such a long time:
Pain, and Pain Killers.
Some day I hope to make this a much longer post about the horrors of necessary pain killer addiction. But tonight it's just a quick and simple explanation. In list form no less.
1. Injured my back awhile back. (pun intended. I like puns.)
2. The only form of treatment for some time was strong painkillers. The side affects of which are searchable on Google. suffice to say that concentration and motivation both suffer dramatically. The pain just got worse, which in turn increased the need for pain killers.
3. Couldn't really concentrate enough to read a book, never mind write/edit/blog/such and such and such.
4. Had two spine surgeries.
5. Surgeries seem to be working.
6. Getting off the shitty pain killers.
7. Feeling much better. Motivation, concentration, and mood are all much better. Beginning to put my life back together again. I am reading, editing, world building, and story planning again.
Someday I will probably fill in the blanks. Thanks to all family and friends who have been there for me throughout this debauchery of a life during the last 2 years.
That is all

One of the ways I've found to motivate myself to edit. Find a nice view, a little coffee, and the laptop. Isolated from many of the world's distractions. Cause let's face it, editing us a pain in the Ass, and its easy to get distracted.

Just finished uploading my book to the us copywright office. Other than a few minor irritants, and slightly difficult navigation, it was pretty easy.
And only thirty five bucks. Money well spent. Time well spent. All was well spent. Except for me.
Well done copywright office, well done.
On a different note. Slowly plugging away on that very WIP. In editing zombieland.
Season of giving and creatingPosted: December 24, 2012 Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: Christmas, Christmas crafts, crafts, family Leave a comment
It's that time of year again. The time when we all rush out and climb over eachother for that toy that we have to have.
This is a time for happiness. And oddly enough sometimes for lonliness. For Giving and receiving. The beauty of family and the hope of togetherness.
For me it is a time to be with the two most important people in my life. My boys. There is nothing on this earth that makes me more happy than seeing their happiness.
There are times when I think I haven't been the best father. But this is defeatist thinking. I do my best, just the same as every parent does. We want our children to be happy, and strive to be better than us.
The other day I bought a little plastic Christmas tree. The thing was only three feet tall, and reminded me of the Charlie brown Christmas tree, before decoration.
I had the boys help me with the lights. I stood back and watched the bare tree twinkle. It was missing something. Ornaments of course! Now it would have been easy to walk down to the drug store and pick up some cheap baubles. But being me I sat down and thought. The whole time wrestling with the little ones.
It occured to me some time later that there might be a better way to make this Christmas decorating a little more fun, and memorable.
On Saturdays we often go to the farmers market together. I load up the doublewide stroller and lean back as I glide down the giant hill. This time however I made a stop at the art store. We loaded up on construction paper, glue, glitter and other implements of destructive constructionism.
When we got home we sat down and crafted our own ornaments. I asked the boys what shapes they wanted, then we cut them out. We decorated them with glue and glitter. Then attached string and violla! Ornaments.
They were jagged and runny, lopsided and bent, with all sorts of different glue glitter designs only a four year old could create. But to me they were by far the most valuable ornaments I had ever had. The expieriance itself was well worth the time and effort.
The result, much like Charlie Brown's post decoration tree, was by far the best looking Christmas tree I had ever seen. And probably always will be.
What Did Historical Swords Weigh?Posted: December 21, 2012 Filed under: Uncategorized Leave a comment
Love this. For all you doubters about how it would be impossible for a heavily armored knight to fight. Redicerous. A four year old could wield a four pound sword…

Uruguay will have the largest cigarette warnings in the world, which will cover 80 per cent of the front and back of packages.
The new warnings will appear on cigarette packages in Uruguay on March 1, 2010.
Currently, warnings in Uruguay cover 50 per cent of the front and back of cigarette packages. Uruguay takes the lead over Mauritius, which has warnings that cover 60 per cent of the front and 70 per cent of the back of cigarette packages.
On September 1, 2009 Uruguay finalized the ministerial ordinance 466/2009 to require a new set of six graphic warnings that will cover 80 per cent of the front and back of cigarette packages. The new graphic images must appear on packages 180 days from the issuance of the ordinance, which is March 1, 2010.
The ordinance also requires copy on the side of a package (in black on white) to say: "Este producto contiene nicotina, alquitran y monoxide de carbone". In English this means: "This product contains nicotine, tar and carbon monoxide."
