Quick fixes
November 19, 2014
Morning all, it's been a while. It's all very hectic here at DHI headquarters, what with the approach to Christmas and 4 projects to complete. it's a bit stressful.
If you have run out of time to do any major refurbishments before Christmas I thought I would share some quick fixes.
I know I have said this time and time again but paint is one of the most transforming things you can do to a room. Because I bang on about this all the time my friends are finally starting to take note, especially my friends that live in the cotswolds as they have gone the whole hog and painted their lounge out in almost the darkest hue you can , but it's one of my favourites which is F&B Railings. It's totally transformed the room and it looks amazing. But my friend Caroline still text me on the morning with second thoughts and saying are you sure it will work!! I said "Go for it, if you hate it you can always paint it over" simply's!! Now it's done they love it and said thanks for the push!! And it doesn't make the room look smaller, thats a myth!!
The next great thing to do is add lamps and lots of them. This creates not only a focal point but adds a soft light which creates intrigue and depth and instantly changes the look of an interior, you can go glam or mix it up to create an eclectic look.

Change the layout, for me pushing sofa's up against the wall is a big no no. Try pulling it into the room, mine at home is in the middle of the room and creates two different areas. Even if you have a small room pulling it away from the wall even a bit will help, maybe just enough to get a shelf or console behind, lean up a couple of picture add a lamp and bang you changed the look in a jiffy!!
Accessorising!! probably one of the hardest things to get right but adding vases, plants, flowers (which can be faux by the way) can change a scheme and stop it from being boring, also its a great way to add a splash of colour and interest. If your a women it's like adding jewellery to an outfit, it makes it!
In every scheme I add cushions, this is where you can be a bit more risky with colour, pattern and texture, go for it and don't try and go too matchy, mix it up.

Art, I know I here you say 'Pricey' but it doesn't have to be, what I do for the show homes is order lots of posters from poster websites, there are quite a few, allposters is one of my favourites. Some posters I get for £4!! Then I buy simple black frames and frame them myself, if you not confident to do this you can go to a local framers either to frame the whole picture or they will also just cut the mounts which saves a few coins. Picture of my hallway, it totally transforms it in an instant, the trick is filling the whole space and you need some big pictures which anchors the rest, too many small ones would look bitty and way too much.
There you go that should be enough to keep you busy for a few weeks!
Happy decorating
Ps. If you want to see these quick fixes take a visit to Finzels Reach development as I have done all the show apartments on the site and all I talk about has been used somewhere along the line
Adding the that wow to a room!
August 8, 2014
Firstly a big sorry for the lack of posts, haven't blogged for 2 months which is the longest time since starting the blog over a year ago. It's almost like I decided to take the summer off!! but it's because I have been so incredible busy and it's so easy to get out of the habit of doing things! So from now I'm back and will be blogging every week. Feel free to tell me off if I don't.
So lets talk about adding the wow to a room as trying to change a room can be a daunting process. Knowing where to start and making decisions isn't always that easy for the best of us.
You may have a big budget which initially makes it easier but believe you me you can still make costly mistakes.
If you have a small budget it can even be more challenging but you have to be a wee bit more creative to pull it off. One of my more recent projects I was set the task of creating a wow factor but on a tight budget. This was for a show home for a developer in Cardiff but the same rules can be applied to a room make over at home. Although we had a budget to furnish all the rooms it didn't stretch that far to go all guns blazing so we had to think of some clever decorating ideas to create the wow factor.
So if you are planning a room makeover start by really thinking about what you use the room for, for instance if it's a space that gets lots of use you will need to think about adding ample of storage which is assessable and easy to use, or it may be a smart lounge which is just for evening use which instantly narrows it down to not having to be so practical therefore darker colours can be used to create a more cosy feel.
For me the No1 game changer is PAINT, paint a room in a darker hue and it changes the feel instantly. I have recently painted my family lounge at home (including the ceiling) in dark inky blue, if I suggested this to a client they would almost in an instant say NO, but it is amazing the response I have had, friends that came for dinner recently were balled over and loved it but said they wouldn't of thought of using darker colours on the walls let alone the ceiling. And it doesn't make a room look smaller, that's a myth, light it well and break the walls up with mirrors and art, it adds such a great depth to the room. Now I have just touched on art this is also a great way to add interest to a room and it doesn't have to cost the earth, framing vintage posters is a great cost effective solution.
The one thing I have done with my room in the show home was to bring furniture into the room, a big NO NO for me is pushing furniture up against the wall like it's been naughty and it's not allowed to play. A must is adding larger pieces, like a chair, coffee table or oversized lamp, (don't forget lighting is key). Playing with scale will trick the eye and make the space look bigger than it really is! If your going to move over to the dark side, adding a bit a glamour Hollywood style works a treat, sometimes a bit of shiny will break up the look. We added a crystal chandelier to the show home lounge which stopped the room looking too contrived, but put's a little fun into the scheme. But be aware! Adding too much bling can make a room look cheap so keep it to a minimum.
As you can see from the picture, adding the black wall to the kitchen takes this from a bland kitchen to a wow kitchen, and getting a pop of colour is always a nice way of stopping the room looking boring, adding a chair in a bright hue is a great way of achieving this.
Adding the black paint on the one wall livens up the room and takes it from being a bit bland to cool and chic. Such an easy and cheap thing to do.
Push the boat out and go darker, especially when decorating a room that's used for chilling out in the evening, adding a bit of bling can create that wow you after.
Another great way of creating drama is adding splashes of colour which catches the eye.
Happy decorating, have a great weekend
Room make over
June 13, 2014
Nothing like an early morning spin class to start the day!! And after a pretty hard week I am glad it's Friday!!
So, I thought I would talk about making over a room today! easy…..no! for some maybe… for others… maybe not! Firstly you don't have to have oodles of money to make over a room; determination and grit yes but money no!! For me the most transforming thing is PAINT! It's relatively cheap and you don't need to be an expert to use it!! It's just being brave enough to push the boundaries and opt for something more daring and not opting for the safe option. I say go dark as it's such a game changer and I'm banging on about it on my blog all the time! Crossing over to the dark side has so many benefits, it creates intrigue and totally changes the look of a room in an instant, it also creates a great backdrop to art, it makes it ping and one of the key tips is adding lots of art, don't be afraid to cover the wall, with a few big pieces or a mish mash of sizes. I love big frames with small pictures but a large mount around the picture, a great way to break up a dark wall, this creates contrast which is so important in an interior. So if your thinking "I have no art" that's going to cost me a bomb to create this look, I often buy art from poster websites, they're cheap as and they have some very cool vintage style posters large and small, then frame them in simple frames with large mounts!
Now the other element to making over a room is TEXTURE, you can never have enough texture, lots of different types of fabrics is good, soft velvets and textured linens work well and when I say texture this also means wall treatment, there are so many great wallpapers out there, like the one I used in the bedroom scheme below which is a printed grass paper effect, adding the texture creates the much needed warmth to a room and a focal point which takes it to another dimension.
As you can see from the before and after pictures below, except for the new furniture the main change in the rooms are the walls, adding the texture like the large padded headboard or if the budget doesn't allow for that then just going darker.
Happy decorating, once you go to the dark side there's no going back!!
Here are some before and after shots, and please note guys, the first picture is the before!! but you know that right!!!!

Have a great weekend all, not a great Saturday for me as I will be sat in the passport office waiting for a new passport, but on the plus side Portugal next week for a business trip, Yay!!
Breaking the rules!
May 22, 2014
Feeling a little broken this week as did a 67 mile bike ride last Sunday (my first). Up to 40ish miles I was fine but after that I think my legs had enough, got off and walked away!! Still serves me right for going out with a bunch of cycle enthusiast.
Anyway lets get to it, RULES is such a strict word I find and although people think there are rules within interior design, I don't! Design is so subjective, what works for one doesn't work for another. I don't really have any rules when designing a scheme, although I sort of follow my own but only what helps me put a design scheme together not an industry set of rules. So I say break the RULES (love saying that).
1). Don't use symmetry, it's one of the most common things done in interiors, you know when lamps arrive 2 by 2 and park them selves on a console table.
2). Matching! I hate matching it's definitely one thing I really try not to do, if you use a fabric on curtains or blinds this doesn't mean you need to use the same fabric on the cushions! Mix it up, it creates intrigue, far more of an interesting look and the same goes for accessories, mix them up and it will look like you have collected them over time.
3). Furniture, this on is a biggy and probably one of the hardest rules to break. In my opinion this has to be mixed, if you look a the best interiors the furniture is always an eclectic mix, modern lines like a simple sofa teamed with an antique or vintage piece.Get this right and BINGO! when guest enter the room they won't know what to look at first, it confuses the eye when things jar and creates a much better interior! and please don't push all the furniture up against the walls like its a naughty kid thats been told off!!
4). SCALE! now playing with scale is a little scary I know, as the brain is telling you to put small items with small!! (am I making sense) So using an oversized lamp on a small table for instance seems crazy but can totally change the vibe to a room and again confuses the eye. Please please don't be afraid to use larger pieces of furniture, trust me it works! Using small furniture especially in small rooms is one of the most common mistakes I see.
5). Last but not least COLOUR. Throw the oddball colour in the mix, works a treat and going darker (I know, I know I'm always going on about this one!) on the walls creates warmth and cosiness, who wants to sit in a white sterile room………….not me!

Mixing up the furniture, I would never of thought about using the white chairs with the antique table, it creates the interest, not everyones cup of tea I know but it shows you how it can be done! Loving the colour on the walls.
Perfect example of how to use different patterns of fabric, no matchy matchy going on here. And a great use of colour.
And here you have scale! the large mirror works so well but for me the small table in front with the oversized vase and eucalyptus is what sets it off!
Have a great day!
Recent projects
May 9, 2014
Back seems better! Hurray, but god damn the strong inflammatory tablets I've been taking have made me feel sick!! arghhh!! Still managed a trip to the velodrome on wednesday night with the fox cycling spin buddies, what a buzz and a great night, even if your not into cycling still worth doing I would say!!
Anyway lets get down to business. I thought I would talk about some of my recent projects, I don't do this often but I'm rather proud of this one. A couple of months ago I posted about some show homes I did for Finzels Reach. This project is for the same development by Cubex and we were asked to also do the Marketing suite which is to be home for Savills Estate Agent and the office reception for Bridgewater House which is one of the prestigious office developments in Bristol. This has been such a great project to work on and I had a blast. Thanks to all the Cubex team for involving me on this project.

A kitchen is not just for cooking!
April 30, 2014
The sky's are foggy in Bristol……great, whats going on with the weather!! I'm just about getting back in to the land of the living! my back has been playing up, waking up every hour when you move doesn't help and constant back ache can cloud the mind! I resisted (being a male and not good at excepting) and went to the doctors yesterday, so some very strong inflamentary tablets should do the trick!
Anyway onwards and upwards!
Don't think I have chatted about Kitchens for a while so thought this would be a good topic today. They keep popping up in my head as I have seen some pretty amazing ones recently whilst searching for inspirational pictures. Most of them are in celebrity homes so some pretty cool kitchens I have to say and bucket loads of money spent on them but you can still take the principals of what makes it good. For me I am getting so bored of the what I call NORMAL kitchen, they all sort of take the same vibe and you see them time and time again, we really need to try and think a bit more creatively! So my biggest tip is treat it as a room your are going to spend lots of time in, a kitchen is not just for cooking. For instance in mine I have a textured wallpaper that looks like silk, its a commercial one so it's actually very practical and can be heavily wiped. I would usually use this type of paper in a lounge so it's an instant mood creator. My biggest thing about creating a moody warm kitchen is not going for the clinical look so white is out, go for a darker colour for the doors and I always get wood into a scheme as it creates warmth and add's texture. If you don't want wood featured within the kitchen. ie doors or worktop try adding it to the floor, pick and engineered plank which is yay ok for kitchens!
Now I think going forward the next big things for kitchen is adding that bit of glam, something shiny. The back splash is the perfect place, again in my kitchen I added chrome round mosaic tiles which was a few years ago now so at the time seemed a bit crazy, and was more expensive that normal tiles but so worth is as I still love them, although if I was doing my kitchen today I would opt for gold, which is almost as glam as you can get and adds instant wow. If you got a big budget a metal back splash in copper or bronze would be amazing but another good and cheaper idea is smoked mirror! Adding all these elements creates the drama that you need. Get these things right and the actual kitchen (as in cupboards) can be pretty simply, and lining up the cabinets is a must for me, no different sized wall cupboards all over the place.
Now the finishing touches are things like adding pictures, vases with flowers and anything quirky that gives it that little va va voom and again treat as any other room! When planning a kitchen I always add some open shelves, somewhere to add some interest and break up the space. It doesn't have to be majorly that practical but if you want it to, make sure you invest in some nice glasses, cups and crockery so you can show it off in style and I always pop a framed picture and vase to break it up.
Take a look at the pictures below, I know they have had a load of cash spent on them but they will inspire the mind when planning your kitchen.
Love the hammered metal doors but they come with a price tag, the hammered metal pendants on the right hand side picture add the same type of glamour but for far less!
Adding the gold back splash to grey colour scheme totally adds interest, love it! if your not brave enough add gold accessories like the kettle against a grey background is a good compromise.
This is where open shelves look great with stylish crockery nicely placed!!
The drama of the dark hue's work so well.
Also one of the other things to say, if your planning an extension and thinking of creating that big kitchen, as you can see from the above pics some of the best kitchens are more compact, I say go smaller in the kitchen and create a much more useable space, and if you are going open plan try and have some sort of divide so it feels like the kitchen has it's own space, like the picture below, still has the feel of open plan but isn't!!
Have a great day
Sprucing things up!
April 16, 2014
A spin class first thing always sets you up for the day!! That's what I'm telling myself anyway!! In need of a coffee hit, off to my regular coffee shop after posting this.
This week I thought I would talk about sprucing things up. I've been holding off on doing my bathroom because I'm thinking I will replace the whole suite, a free standing bath, vanity unit with marble top!! That's on the wish list but comes with a high price tag. So after years of deliberating I recently decided I'm just going to spruce it up and this is what I did:
1) Painted the walls a dark hue, charcoal grey with a hint of blue
2) Box in bath with a new bath panel and creating a ledge around the front and side
3) Re tiled the floor which was one thing that definitely needed doing, dark grey wood tiles
4) Added a large framed picture above the bath, very dramatic, colours almost the same colour of the walls
5) Added 2 ikea lack shelves to house all cosmetics and stacks of towels
6) Replaced the very boring typical bathroom mirror which I've had for donkey's years with a very chunky black frame mirror, (actually it was light grey but I painted it black
7) New Chinese style unit added in a bright green colour
8) Final piece is a small stool and voila, it's totally transformed without spending wads of cash!
Only got a couple of snaps from my phone so not great pics but I have found some that show you the type if thing I'm talking about and how you can change the look mainly by the colour you apply on the walls!
A great before and after shot, see what you can do by just changing the walls…. simple!
Loving the teal blue on the walls, I opted for the dark version like the picture on the left.
Did I mention that now the Bathroom has been spruced up, it's now the kids favourite room!
Have a great day.
Out with the old
March 14, 2014
Its the time of year when we all start thinking about updating our interior or some of us do! and I think it's mainly because we can all see that spring is around the corner. Well it's extremely foggy in Bristol and can't see around the corner at all!! but we know it's hiding out there somewhere!!
For me I want to add colour and freshen my interior up a notch, this could be simply changing your cushions on your sofa to adding some spring blooms, the more the better I say and definitely Faux's as they can stay there until winter time!!, this is such a good way to add that all important splash of colour, a bit like the pic below, take the flowers away and it's a bit snoring!
So if your feeling more daring you can add colour by painting, ok ok I know painting a strong colour on the walls is scary for so many of you but it is the most transforming thing you can do to your interior and if you don't have the budget to add or change furniture it's the simplest and most cost effective way and is a game changer trust me. If you don't like it paint over it, no big deal right!! I don't do what everyone does and paint the wall and think NO i don't like it, you have to finish the room. The transformation doesn't take place until the furniture goes back in place and art and pictures are up! If you are going for a bold or stronger tone, don't forget that big pictures with white mounts break up the wall perfectly and if you are going for a bold colour please please go for more of an inky murky tone, it creates a much more sophisticated look and mood. Watch this space, we are looking at adding a dark, inky, moody paint collection in the shop. Message me if your interested in receiving info on this.
Here's a few pics to inspire, if you don't feel brave enough to paint the whole room why not try painting the back of some shelves in a bolder colour or a recess! I love the silk wallpaper behind the bed in one of the picture, transforms the room and add's life.
Absolutely loving the wall colour above, it's my favourite colour of the moment and although a dark hue it still has an uplifting feeling to it. And this is what I mean about if you go for a bold colour go that little bit murky as it works!
Have a great weekend all!
Happy New Year
January 14, 2014
Happy new year all!
Back to it last week in a big way, it's my busiest month since being in business so no time to dwell or be depressed about getting back into the swing of things. Makes January so much easier as I really haven't got time to think!!
So the a new year and 2014 feels like it's going to be a good one, I don't make any specific new years resolutions but one for me is definitely pushing myself out of my comfort zone especially when it comes to decorating, why don't you go that step further you might surprise yourself. I think it's the year of being braver with your interior, out with the old, push the bounderies. For me beige is out and dark colours are in. Simply painting one of my rooms out in a dark hue, including the ceiling, totally changes the look. So I say for 2014 at least paint one room dark and see how it changes the feel.
As this is my first blog into the new year I thought I would start off easy and just get you all to start thinking how you can improve your interior. In these winter months your home is such an important thing to get right as we are spending more time indoors, snuggled up watching films, and a cosy interior helps so much more with this, turn the lights down and you never want to leave the space.
Also I'm predicting that colour will play a big part in interiors this year, especially the bold bright types! and they will be adorning our walls very soon, a brave thing to do and definitely pushing you out of your comfort zone, but hay hoe it's only paint and can be painted over…right!!
Still adding a pop of colour in a chair or lamps could be a good starting point!
Here's a few pics to inspire
Happy decorating
Pushing the boundaries
July 1, 2013
I've actually got a day off today!! playing Golf with my father and brothers (a fathers day gift and a very rare occasion). On the weekend I went to a new spin class studio, I'm desperately trying to get back into the fitness, sort of lost it a bit the last few weeks so hoping this new spin studio will get me motivated again so Iv'e booked in for another one tonight! Going to try and get 4 exercise routines in this week!!
As I previously mentioned I am working on the scheme for my master bedroom, first I'm pushing the boundaries with going for a very dark colour on all the walls. This is even a bit scary for me but I'm thinking as long as I break this up it will work perfectly. So lots of pictures are going to feature and the painted white ones will look great with the dark background of the walls. Also I have decided to do one wall of curtains which will also break up the colour. As the budget is tight, I am using a side table from the lounge and a ceramic lamp which has already transformed the space, so we no longer have matching side tables and lamps (which is sort of growing on me, always done a matching pair before!). We already have a modern looking chest of drawers which works well, so will look out for a simply chair to add to the space then the rest is down to accessorising, I'm going to add lots of faux flowers as this is one of the best ways to through the eye around. Then paint out the wardrobes and we will be there. Think I have also found the perfect zig zag rug to finish it off and at a steal of only £65 from urban outfitters.
Fabrics are from Mark Alexander and Lewis and Wood, furniture, lamps and art are all available from my store in Bristol.
Have a great Monday!

Continue Education As A Radiology Technician!
Every radiology technician should accept the fact that it is highly important to continue education in this field in order to make your future career successful. More than fifteen years ago another requirement was established by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists. It consists in the fact that any registered ARRT (American Registry of Radiologic Technologists) take and accomplish twenty-four hours of continuing education credits which are extremely necessary for keeping their highly professional status and authority - http://biggestloserthegame.com/arimistane-reviews.html. Minimum least half (better all) of such credits have to belong to the Category A, which proves that a Recognized Continuing Education Evaluation Mechanism supports the work of this or that radiology technician.
Some people will consider continuing education in this field to be nothing more than a waste of time, nevertheless, there are some advantages of this education. First f all, a radiology technician needs this sort of studying during his or her career in order to get modern information in the field of radiology, thus, to be always the first one on this area. As far as it is known, modern medical technologies as well as many changes in healthcare protocol may significantly influence the activity of a radiology technician. That is why it is so important to follow all of these developments and changes in order to improve one's professional skills as well as to enrich one's knowledge at least once in a few years or so. So, completing this sort of continuing education will ensure you are still a qualified professional radiology technician. It will give you an opportunity to foresee what changes may happen in the medical and healthcare world in order not to experience some mistakes.

Applying for One of Online Schools of Psychology
Have you ever given some serious thinking to a possibility to better your career through getting an online school psychology degree? It could quite be the high time to do so. The online schools of psychology are sweepingly gaining in popularity among those who is looking for continuing education and starting a rewarding and fulfilling career in this professional field, read wecanwait4u.com/cerefolin-nac-reviews.html. To tell you the truth, I must confess that I experienced the same not too long ago. In other words, I was in your shoes for quite a period of time. But in the end I made a different decision and gave my preference to getting a doctorate degree in Education Psychology, which was, as you understand, taking a somewhat different career direction. Nevertheless, I suffer the onslaughts of doubts from time to time. What if my application to one of schools of school psychology would have been a better choice? It is quite possible that a reputable online or traditional, brick-and-mortar school psychology degree program would have rewarded me with a more satisfying career? Might be, might be! But let the might-be remain the might-be!
I do not want you to get the wrong impression, since I am quite satisfied with my professional career in Education Psychology; I really like my specialization of Education Psychology. But still sometimes I get the feeling that spending a lot of time alone in my office - and this is what the Education Psychology is about - is not quite to my taste. It begins to get too lonely. And that cannot be avoided or improved, since a professional in the field of Education Psychology is responsible for constant analyses of data, constant careful processing of spreadsheets and graphs. Sometimes I wish I had a possibility of everyday interaction with parents and students. But as an Education Psychologist I am not in position to afford it as much as I would like to. The lion's share of Education Psychologist's tasks is closely related to data analysis aimed at improving student achievement and class instruction. So, from this point of view the online or traditional school psychology degree program can be a more attractive choice for you. Be careful and do some careful thinking before making your choice, take into consideration the whole range of professional possibilities, all pros and contras!

To John Adams from James McHenry, 14 March 1798
War Office 14 March 1798
The Secry. of War, respectfully submits the following result of his reflexions, on the questions propounded yesterday by the President.
Q. Will it be advisable to present immediately to Congress, the whole of the communications from our ministers in France, with the exception of the names of the persons employed by the minister Talyrand, to exhibit and enforce his requisitions for a bribe, under an injunction of secrecy as to that particular?
From the Secry's recollection of the communication from our ministers, it appears, that the Derectory, among other things, require 1st. A bribe for their minister and four of their corps, of £50,000 Stg. 2d. A loan, for national purposes, equivalent to the amount of the value of the cargoes of American vessels to which have been captured, as prerequisites to their agreeing to a suspension of their orders to capture our vessels.
These conditions being such as the U.S. ought not to consent to; the second especially as involving in its nature a violation of our neutrality, or a war with England, and there not appearing any reasonable ground to expect better conditions will be offered, a full disclosure therefore to Congress of the requirements and disposition of the Derectory, seems, under all the circumstances of the case, to be advisable and proper.
There are objections no doubt to making this disclosure. It may be supposed. 1. To affect the personal safety of our ministers. 2. As an insurmountable obstacle to any future negotiations with the men whose depravity it thus exposes. 3d. As premature, inasmuch, as another effort was to be made by our ministers, and as the shipwreck of the Derectory's project against England, might happen in the mean time, and incline them to reasonable terms of accommodation with this country.
To the first objection it may be answered. That the agents of the French minister required, that their names only, not their propositions should be concealed. That the Secry. recollects no expression in the letters of our ministers to the Secry. of State, or any of their friends, which indicated an expectation on their part, that their communication to the Executive should not be laid before Congress with the aforesaid exception. It must more over be well known to the Derectorial minister, Talyrand, and the Derectory, that a bribe of £50,000 Stg. could not be obtained without a reference of the subject to Congress. On the whole, it is to be presumed, as our ministers have suggested no precautions on this point, that they apprehended, should they remain in Paris, no personal restraints from the naked truth being told to Congress, or they thought the conjuncture demanded that they should hazard something for the public good.
As to the 2 objection. This no doubt is deserving of attention. The men who rule in the Directory will it is probable use their endeavours to continue in it & may be successful. But be this as it may, it will not be the President who will divulge the requisition of the French minister for himself and the Derectory, if it should come to be <
[. . .]>< ,> publeckly known, but the Congress, to whom he will recommend its being kept a secret.
With respect to the 3d objection. It cannot with propriety be called a premature act to lay before Congress the proceedings of our ministers as far as is known, in one of the most important transactions which can affect the U.S. Neither can it be fairly characterised as improper or precipitate to submit the extraordinary demands of the Directorial agents <
[. . .]> when it appears, < [. . .]> that notwithstanding < [. . .]> our ministers had projected another experiment to be formally heard, yet that they entertained, on the 8 of Jany., following the < [. . .]> determination, no hope of its proving successful. So far therefore, as their opinion is to guide, no new or more favourable propositions are to be looked for on the part of the derectory, from this experiment.
Q. Ought the President then, to recommend in his message an immediate declaration of war?
Seeing that France has qualified her hostility, and made no discrimination between the U.S. and other neutral nations, as it respects their trade, and that she holds out terms of accommodation, tho' humiliating and inadmissible in their present nature and form, it would seem more conformable to such a state of things, to an apparent pending negotiation and probable or possible events in Europe, were the President to recommend a qualified hostility, or a vigorous defensive plan competent to meet and maintain open hostility, instead of an immediate declaration of war. Such a procedure as this, while it secures the objects essential and preparatory to a state of open war, involves in it the fewest evils, and the greatest number of possible chances and advantages.
Taking this ground therefore, as the least exceptionable and safest, under all circumstances, it follows. That the President should inform Congress by message, couched in a firm & temperate stile of the ill success of the attempt to negotiate, lament the circumstance, advert to all the leading points that may be made public, and refer to an accompanying confidential communication for other particulars attending it.
That he should declare, that the situation in which the country is placed by this <
[. . .]> unexpected event, demands the most decisive measures, as well to meet present and increased aggressions, as provide against more formidable and eventual dangers, and shew to the world, that while, we seek peace, we are determined to encounter the last state of hostility rather than relinquish our honour, our dignity and right to self government and Independence.
That the following may be noticed among the measures which will require the deliberations of Congress.
That as France has formally violated and set aside the treaties between her and this Country, they ought to be formally suspended by the U.S, since the observance of them on one side and not on the other can only serve to produce inconveniences and embarrassment.
That the decree proposed by the Derectory to capture our vessels, and a total change in circumstances, and the relations by treaties between France and this Country, render it expedient, that the merchants should be no longer restrained from exercising the right to arm to protict their property; that to this end, the President will annul the circular letter on this subject, and therefore submits it to Congress to prescribe such regulations and penalties in the case as may be thought proper and necessary.
[. . .]>
That a further naval protection to the trade than can be afforded by this measure and the frigates seems indispensible. That a power should be given to provide and equip, at such time and by such means as may be judged best, a number of ships of the line and sloops of war for convoys and the security of our coast and harbours.
That an augmentation of the military establishment and an auxiliary or provisional army is necessary for the same purpose.
That to provide for these measures and the current expences of government will no doubt call for an augmentation of revenue and be cheerfully acquiesced in by his fellow citizens in a crisis so eventful &c &c
All which is respectfully submitted

Bisphenol A (BPA) is an industrial resin used to make hard, clear plastic film, most notably reusable water bottles and protective lining on the inside of metal-based food and beverage cans. BPA can mimic hormones, which raises concerns about its safety in consumer products. Most notably, studies have shown that BPA is an endocrine disruptor and can impact the neurological system and thyroid function, and may also contribute to breast cancer, neuroblastoma, and prostate cancer.
Commonly known as "PVC" or "vinyl," polyvinyl chloride is one of the most common synthetic materials. PVC is useless without the addition of stabilizers such as lead and phthalate plasticizers. Lead is heavily toxic and is known to interfere with a variety of body processes, organs, and tissues including the heart, bones, intestines, kidneys, and reproductive and nervous systems. The development of the nervous system is particularly fragile in children, and they are therefore at the greatest risk. Phthalates, primarily used to soften polyvinyl chloride (PVC), are also known to be endocrine disruptors and can contribute to breast cancer as well as obesity.
Dioxin is an organic chemical that can be found in a variety of products and are highly toxic, according to the World Health Organization. Because of their inherent stability and their ability to be dissolved by fat tissue, dioxins can exist in the body for years. Dioxins affect the reproductive and developmental systems, can damage the immune system, disrupt hormones, and cause cancer.
These materials not only cause damage to our health, but severely impact the environment as well. All our films are free from bisphenol A, PVC, phtalates, lead, dioxins, Perfluorooctanesulfonates (PFOS), Perfluoroctanoicacid (PFOA) and other toxins, and our products conform to Prop 65 and FDA regulations for direct and indirect food contact (depending on the application). We will gladly provide certification and back-up documents to support these statements.

Thought I'd write some simple instructions as it took me a long time to work out how to do this.
I read through about 50 google searches trying to work it out and although many many people have asked this very same question before me, I found the answers to be vague and unhelpful!
Step 1
In your blogs design screen go to the Layout area.
Then select Add a Gadget any will do (you can move them later where you want them on the page).
Step 2
From the selection list choose HTML/ Java Script its in the basic menu just scroll down the list a little.
Step 3
This screen box will appear you wont need a title in the content box paste in the code of the button you wish to use then save.
Step 4
Move the button where you want it on your page layout and click save arrangement.
Hope this was helpful! Next I'm learning how to put a facebook share / like button on my page wish me luck!

Stuart Baker Software
Dear Mr. Baker,
I want to take this opportunity to tell you how pleased I am with the PASSPORT software that was recently installed on our PE 3230. We are using it to transfer files between the PE and several of our company's non-PE computers. We even use it to transfer files from personal computers. The time savings and data security provided by PASSPORT are a big improvement over our old method of data transfer.
I also want to thank you for the help you provided on the phone in getting our system on-line. It's always good to have a knowledgeable person available when starting up a new piece of software.
Please keep us informed of any new software packages for Perkin-Elmer machines that you develop in the future. Enjoy sunny San Diego!

She is a child of the tsunami that devastated the coast of Tamil Nadu on 26 December 2004. She is made up of bits and pieces of leftover cloth and thread. She is a living symbol of hope and unconditional love. Her name is Tsunamika.
Tsunamika was born in February 2005 during a handicraft workshop held by the Upasana Design Studio to help teach lifelong skills to the fisherwomen in 7 of the 19 villages (comprising 5,000 families and 11,000 people) in and around Auroville, an intentional community on the coast of Tamil Nadu, that were affected by the tsunami.
Today, she provides an income for over 180 fisherwomen, who earn between Rs. 750 to 2,500 (U.S.$ 17 to 56) – women who have gained confidence, self-respect, leadership skills, and freedom; women who have an intense relationship with Tsunamika and a deep connection to the people who receive her.
Tsunamika now comes in several guises – pin, hair clip, book mark, key chain, pencil decoration, paper clip, and rakhi. She is used by teachers, school children, NGOs and corporations in 50 countries. But she is never sold.
Tsunamika is a gift, and a beautiful example of the gift economy in action. The thousands of people who are touched by her volunteer their time and talents, give donations to keep the project going, find innovative ways to use her, and tell her story.

Many times big business gains the spotlight while small business can't seem to get attention. But Congress is working to ensure that small business gets a starring role on the cybersecurity stage.
Recent large-scale cyberattacks, such as the hack of Equifax Inc. that breached the personal data of 145 million consumers, have struck at the core of large corporations. Cybersecurity risks have gained high profile status when it comes to big companies. But small businesses are also tempting targets for hackers and they long for much needed cybersecurity resources. The Senate has moved legislation to plug that need.
Small businesses are the backbone of the U.S. economy-- something numerous members of Congress said in a segment on recent episode of HBO Inc.'s 'Last Week Tonight.' There are approximately 28.2 million small businesses in the U.S.that employ half of all workers in the country, according to the Small Business Administration.
Many of these small companies don't have the necessary resources or technical know-how to tackle the ever-growing cybersecurity risk, Jason Hogg, CEO of Stroz Friedberg and leader of AON Cyber Solutions in New York, has told Bloomberg BNA.
Additionally, around 50 percent of reported cyberattacks are against companies that make $50 million in revenue or less, Daimon Geopfert, national leader and security and privacy consultant at Risk Advisory Services in Southfield, Mich., said at a recent House Small Businesses Committee hearing.
The MAIN STREET Cybersecurity Act (S. 770) introduced by Sen. Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii), and highlighted in Bloomberg BNA's Hill Watch, passed the Senate Sept. 28 by unanimous consent. A similar House bill, the NIST Small Business Cybersecurity Act (H.R. 2105) introduced by Rep. Daniel Webster (R-Fla.), has gained bipartisan support. Webster's bill currently sits in the House Committee on Science, Space and Technology.
The bills would give small businesses increased resources fromthe Department of Homeland Security's National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Specifically, NIST would publish voluntary small business best practices and guidelines "to help reduce their cybersecurity risks," according to the Congressional Research Service (CRS). The small businesses cybersecurity materials would need to be: "(1) technology-neutral, (2) based on international standards to the extent possible, (3) able to vary with the nature and size of implementing small business and sensitivity of the data collected or stored on the information systems, and (4) consistent with the national cybersecurity awareness and education program under the Cybersecurity Enhancement Act of 2014," the CRS bill report said.
Hill watchers and small business owners will be monitoring closely to see if Congress is able to reach a consensus and provide much needed resources for a crucial segment of the economy that is clamoring for cybersecurity assistance.

Richland City Council Could Change Mind on "The Pit"
It has been an eye sore in Richland for quite a while.
Known by Richland residents as 'The Pit' on George Washington Way, talks have been going around the table on what to convert the property to. A popular proposal was shot down in April.
Now the City may change its mind again. This time they want a large apartment building!

Hosting Conversations about Questions that Matter
There are people gathering here in the World Cafe community from literally all over the world, and it is so exciting!!! I really want to meet everyone, and I know I'm not alone. Would you please tell us a little about yourself here, just as an introduction, so we can start to learn about each other? Where do you live? How did you learn about the World Cafe? What are your interests and passions?
NOTE: The convention on this part of the site is that the responses are in chronological order, so you have to click forward to the last page (at the bottom of this page) to see the latest introductions.

Good afternoon, Benjamin, and thanks for the welcome.
As I type this comment, heavy rainfall darkens Portland's sky and turns roads into rivers. I imagine others sun-bathing on beaches or shoveling snow. It's all about place. Place and camaraderie. Brain research shows that the brain longs for friends; it needs to belong. In fact, specific areas of the brain generate pain when a person does not belong. The inclusiveness of World Cafe is one of its great strengths.
I'm a former university professor who for years has been applying the findings of brain research to daily life. The remarkable discoveries of neuroscience show us, for instance, that listening, being open, mindful, attentive, and reflective changes the brain's structure. These findings explain, in other words, why World Cafe dialogue works so beautifully.
I look forward to learning about World Cafe members and events.
Hi dear Elaine...
How WONDERFUL to see you here contributing to this community....I feel really blessed and honored to have your depth of experience and vision as part of these conversations.....and hope you will join those groups that interest you.
With deep appreciation,
Welcome Gina! Glad to see you here.
Hi all,
I'm Lan, facilitator and trainer and most of all I see myself as a catalyst of exchanges. I'm Vietnamese, living in Paris. I'm in the middle of different cultures: Asian in ways of living, American in working and French in ...I don't know yet (I'm learning :-) ).
I was trained in facilitation in 2003 in Technology of Participation (ToP) to do different development projects in Vietnam. I used mostly The Focused Conversation and Consensus workshop as my based methodology. I've been working in different sectors: ONG, association, business and public.
I first heard about World Café in 2009, from a friend who is part of Art of Hosting network. I then participated in some workshops and get really interested in learning more and use it. World Café now is used like one part of my training and facilitating, depending on the context, number of people in the groupe... What I really like in WC is: a simple process which is really engaging and creative.
I've initiated a community of practices in Paris. I'm thinking of introducing the method to others in the group. I am very happy to be part of this group and get connected with others. Thank you very much for your initiative.
All the best,
Coucou Lan,
ravi de te retrouver au détour de ce blog..
Belle journée
Welcome Lan....is your community of practice focused on World Cafe or a borader set of practices as well?
With warm regards and best wishes,
Hi Juanita,
Thank you very much. Our community of practices doesn't focused only on World Café. We practise and introduce different methods of facilitation and coaching. We gather once a month and each time, 2 persons facilitate. We learn a lot from each other and have lots of fun.
Warm regards,
Hello to my New Friends in the World Cafe Community! I am writing from just north of Colorado Springs and have just experienced the first of our 3 conversations in Learning Program #1. Immediately signed on for Program #2. I am a non-recovering shameless idealist. Have been since the 70's -- tried "recovery" in the 80's -- failed miserably... I have loved reading about the World Cafe and Conversational Leadership for a long time, but was given the Gift of an "excuse" to learn more when I was invited to host a WC at the annual conference for the Greenleaf Center for Servant Leadership this June. I am SO THRILLED to have the opportunity to learn from the Master Conversation-Conveners!!! I've been working internationally for the past 20-ish years doing leadership development -- especially in the arena of technology -- working with "Girl Geeks" (to quote Amy & Juanita) and "Guy Geeks" who have accidentally stumbled into leadership positions. It's been such a fabulous learning opportunity to work in so many different cultures all over this good planet -- I have learned infinitely more than I "taught"! Now my heart's desire is to help develop the next generation of Conversational Leaders and Servant Leaders, so I am fascinated to hear about what the World Cafe Community is doing in the area of inter-generational conversation. What I'm learning in Program ! will help me do a bit of risk-taking with a workshop I'll be presenting next week at the regional conference for a national business fraternity. I wonder what kind of Necessary Revolution might happen if the next generation of leaders began asking meaningful questions and really listening to each other? I wonder what Magical Transformation might occur if we all became genuinely interested in diverse perspectives? I wonder what it would take for the next generation of leaders to learn to draw out the best in others and use that Collective Wisdom to resolve differences? I wonder how we can be helpful to those that will follow us so our children's children might live the Miracle of Peace? (See? I warned you that I'm a shameless idealist!!!)
Blessings and Warmest Regards to All of You!!!
Yea! I am wondering how to bring this style of communication into the biz world. Does anyone have any ideas?
Hi everyone,
I am from Trinidad and currently living in Nottingham, UK pursuing an MSc. in Management Psychology. One of my professors introduced me to the World Cafe website through a workshop we had. I love the entire concept of the cafe because I truly believe that amazing things can happen through effective communication and collaboration. For my thesis, I want to investigate the knowledge creation and transfer in organisations so I'm interested in learning more about the World Cafe Model.
I really like having new experiences, would like to do a whole lot more travelling and baking is one of my hobbies (haven't done much in a while though). I am passionate about people discovering and functioning in their strengths and also having an enjoyable and balanced life.
Hi Lavonne,
Welcome to the World Cafe community! You can find more people from England (or the Caribbean) here in the on-line community by using the "advanced search" function.....and also join various of the groups that you are interested in.
I'd love to hear more about any experiments you do with the World Cafe as you learn more about it's use. Look in the Resources section of the website for things that can support your learning and hosting.
Warm regards,

As I promised in my previous post, here is (a bit late) the report of the Bonenkai tea ceremony. I was afraid that I would forget my camera, and indeed, I did... However, we had a lot of tea because most of the students were given the year's final chance to Practice their preparation ritual. Some only did Sumitemae and Gozumi, while others whisked their final green tea froths. When my turn came, I felt comfortable and relaxed,but my weak point is that I often forget to take the lit from the Mizusashi before pouring hot water in the Chawan. Luckily my tea teacher was explaining something to other students, I guess she trusts most of my preparation movements and let me move freely without giving too many comments. I know this is not always good, there are tea teachers who are much more strict and unfriendly than mine. I think that is another reason why I am still able to cheerfully practice the Japanese tea ceremony. Making the same mistakes for months in a row, my tea teacher has great patience.
Anyway, after the four hour long tea Keiko, we the students and the teacher as well, were pretty beat, and so we went to a nearby Sushi master who always seems to have the best fish and most original dishes.
It was a great way the end the year, with this Bonenkai lesson and Sushi.

The Dude abides
recently a featured artist on Etsy creates great detailed artworks on a small scale with movie themes.
I bought the Big Lebowski set of coasters but have put them up on the wall where they won't be damaged by careless shenanigans after partaking- bound to happen ya see.
A collection of Movie Directors might be next, but it's so hard to choose 'cos the likeness is remarkable and the choice so interesting.
The Dude would be most impressed I'm guessing- go shop there right now!

Just noticed what the word of the day was for my blog and and feeling that its definition is apt for how I feel about podcasts at the moment. I have been able to add my podcast to my RSS feed which I have now shared... am still trying to post it in a cleaner way but at least I am sharing it somehow.

Timeless elegance and value are the hallmarks of cherry wood flooring, making cherry wood an excellent choice for the discerning homeowner looking to make the most out of their home improvement dollars. If you are interested in installing cherry floors in your Edmond home, be sure to talk to our experts at Floor Coverings International Edmond.
American cherry wood is relatively easy to install and takes well to finishing and staining. This allows a greater range of applications than other hardwood products. Curved staircases, inlaid designs, and other dramatic features are possible with this type of wood. You can also install cherry hardwood floors in a variety of spaces throughout your home, from living rooms to dining rooms to bedrooms.
Unlike other types of flooring, cherry hardwood requires minimal maintenance and can be cleaned with standard household products – a mop and a broom are all you really need. Like other hardwoods, cherry wood is a very resilient material that will last for decades and may be refinished over time. Also, because cherry is a readily available domestic hardwood, it is one of the more affordable types of hardwood flooring.
Cherry wood flooring is undeniably lovely, and its appearance works well with many types of decor. It offers hues from lush red-toned brown in the heartwood to a creamy white in the sapwood with a distinctive straight grain pattern. The texture is uniform with a satiny finish. Cherry hardwood flooring enhances the style of any room without detracting from the décor.
If you have more questions about cherry hardwood floors, we can help! Call Floor Coverings International Edmond to get expert advice on flooring products and installation for your home. We offer free consultations to homeowners in Oklahoma City, Edmond, and Piedmont and beyond.
