The Remodeling Show at the Baltimore Convention Center is less than three weeks away (Sunday, October 7 through Wednesday, October 11). With its Baltimore location, the conference is especially convenient for travel from points on the Eastern Seaboard, and some conference topics will also hold particular interest for the coastal builder.
Case in point: Building official Glenn Mathewson's seminars about decks. Mathewson presents a two-day program of study for the North American Deck and Railing Association (NADRA) Master Deck Building Certification, from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM on Monday and from 7:30 AM to 5:00 PM on Tuesday. (By the way, NADRA is also holding its annual "Main Event" get-together at the DeckExpo show, co-hosted with the Remodeling Show at the Convention Center. In addition to the certification course, NADRA events include a National Deck Competition and an awards dinner.)
If you don't have two whole days to devote to decks, you can still drop in for Mathewson's two deck-related short sessions. Wednesday from 7:30 to 9:00 AM, Mathewson presents "International Building Codes and Their Impact On You," with information about a wide range of new code requirements that could create snags for builders who face building department plan review or inspections. "Ledger connections, guardrail height, and new electrical requirements are just a few of the new provisions that this course intends to prepare you for," says Mathewson.
At 9:30 AM on Wednesday, Mathewson teaches "Corrosion and Decay Resistance of Decks." Nearly a decade after the agreement between wood treaters and the EPA that phased out CCA-treated lumber in favor of new formulations, many of which contain high levels of copper that can corrode other metals, Mathewson says, "the market still is confused about when treated material is required, the limitations of its use, and the relationship between lumber and hardware and fasteners."
For a taste of Mathewson's published work, check out Hanley Wood's Professional Deck Builder magazine, where Mathewson is a contributing editor.
If your interests lie in other areas, of course, the Remodeling Show conference covers a wide range of other business and technical topics. For a full schedule with descriptions of conference topics, download the brochure: ("Education Extra").

VIRGINIA BEACH - Staff and volunteers are exercising their horses, mowing turf, and gathering ribbons and feathers, all to put the finishing touches on Seton Youth Shelters' 14th annual Kentucky Derby Celebration, A Silks & Irons Soiree, to be held Saturday, May 4, 2013 from 5-10p.m. at Back Bay Farms in Virginia Beach.
The unique fundraising event takes its name from "silks", the colorful clothing worn by jockeys, with colors representing the race horse's owner or trainers, and "Irons", the part of a saddle stirrup which contains the rider's foot. From authentic mint juleps to a ladies' hat contest to live turf horse races, to a live, giant screen broadcast of the 139th "Run for the Roses" at Churchill Downs, A Silks & Irons Soiree gives a special nod to the triple crown race held each year in Louisville, Kentucky while meeting critical needs of youth in Hampton Roads. Guests may arrive in their own festive Derby headgear, or purchase a hand-decorated hat when they arrive at the event. Organizers' plan to offer 20 hand-decorated hats available for sale, with proceeds benefiting the event. Purchased hats are also eligible for entry in the Ladies' Hat Contest, which takes place mid-way during the event.
Since 1999, Seton Youth Shelters has brought together horses, hats and hundreds of the area's most festive and philanthropically-minded guests for a spring celebration of all things "Derby" to benefit its shelter and street outreach programs, which reach tens of thousands of Hampton Roads' youth each year.
Financial support of this ultra-special event raises funds for Seton's prevention, intervention, shelter and counseling to youth 9-17 in crisis and their families—24 hours a day, 365 days a year, at no charge to the child or their family. Seton Youth Shelters is the region's only organization devoted exclusively to providing shelter, counseling and outreach services to youth 9-17.

--Shanghai declines on property fears.
--Yen firms after Japan Finance Minister Aso's comments.
--Mixed earnings from Australia.
(Adds information, quotes, updates/adds market levels)
By Daniel Inman
Asian markets were mixed Tuesday, with sharp falls in property developers pulling down stocks in Shanghai, while Australia touched a fresh multi-year high despite mixed earnings.
The largest move on Tuesday was in mainland China, where the Shanghai Composite lost 1.0% on fears the government could take action to rein in a rebound in property prices over the coming weeks. Property and construction companies experienced heavy declines: developer Gemdale Corp. fell 6.6% and Anhui Chaodong Cement Co. lost 7.1%.
In Hong Kong, the Hang Seng Index was down 0.3%.
More broadly, with U.S. markets closed on Monday for a public holiday, there were no strong overnight leads to give the region direction. Instead, investors were looking ahead to potential risk events on the horizon - including elections in Italy to be held on February 24 and 25, as well as the question of who will be the next Bank of Japan governor, which could prove to be a major catalyst for the yen's movements.
On Tuesday, the yen was pushed higher by comments from Finance Minister Taro Aso who said that Japan was not thinking about foreign bond purchases or changing the law governing the Bank of Japan.
Mr. Aso's comments came after Monday's remarks by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who said that if the Bank of Japan fails to meet its new 2% inflation target, it would be a condition for changing the law governing the central bank.
Furthermore, investors also mulled over the minutes from the Bank of Japan's January policy meeting, which revealed that some of the central bank's board members said buying longer-term Japanese government bonds could be considered as part of its monetary easing strategy to tackle deflation.
The U.S. dollar was recently at Y93.70 compared with Y93.97 late Monday, recovering from some of its weakness earlier in the session.
The other central bank in focus was the Reserve Bank of Australia, which in the minutes for its February meeting said that tame inflation gave policymakers room to ease further. The Australia dollar moved slightly higher to US$1.0318.
The stronger yen put pressure on Japanese stocks as did profit-taking following Monday's sharp rise, with the Nikkei Stock Average down 0.3%.
In Tokyo, Bridgestone Corp. climbed 9.2% after the tire company reported that it expects net profit to increase by 37% to a record Y235 billion in 2013, higher than consensus estimates for a Y204 billion profit. The firm noted that the weaker yen has helped profitability.
It was a mixed bag of earnings in Australia, where the S&P/ASX 200 rose 0.1% to 5070.10, after hitting a fresh four-and-a-half year high of 5075 earlier in the session.
On the positive side, radio and television broadcaster Southern Cross Media Group climbed 9.4% and Coca-Cola Amatil gained 2.1% after releasing their latest earnings results.
Some earnings reports failed to excite the market, with engineering and construction company Transfield Services losing 4.8%, while Mount Gibson Iron also dropped 5.0%.
South Korea's Kospi Composite was flat.

ATTENTION: Due to very high fire danger, Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks are instituting additional fire restrictions inside the parks. Beginning Monday, July 28, 2014:
Gas, propane, alcohol, and tablet/cube stoves are allowed at all park campgrounds and picnic areas and throughout all elevation zones in the wilderness. Wood or barbecue fires are allowed at park campgrounds in the Cedar Grove, Grant Grove, Dorst, Lodgepole, and Mineral King areas and in all picnic areas other than Ash Mountain and Hospital Rock.
Fire restrictions reduce the probability of an accidental human-caused fire that could threaten visitors and employees during times of high fire danger.
These National Park Service restrictions will remain in effect until further notice. If further restrictions are necessary due to changing conditions, the parks will make another public announcement. Be sure to check bulletin boards or the visitor centers for the most current regulations when you visit the parks.
Visitors to Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks, by following these steps, can help ensure that their visit is safe, enjoyable, and helps to prevent unwanted fire.

76th UNITAR Hiroshima Public Session "Green Legacy Hiroshima: Encounters with Nature, Science, War and Memory"
23 October 2013, Hiroshima, Japan - The UNITAR Hiroshima Office, in collaboration with ANT-Hiroshima, recently held a Public Session that examined the continued efforts of Green Legacy Hiroshima to spread worldwide seeds and saplings of Hiroshima's A-Bomb survivor trees. The Public Session served as an opportunity to reflect on the deeper meaning and message of A-bomb survivor trees, and was attended by more than 100 representatives of the wider Hiroshima community.
Green Legacy Hiroshima was established in July 2011. It aims to work with many diverse people and communities – those striving for a world free from nuclear threats, those committed to a greener planet, those hoping to honor and remember victims of wars past and present, or those simply wanting to create peace gardens in their communities. Launched as a volunteer initiative a few months after the catastrophic 2011 Tohoku Region earthquake, tsunami and nuclear accident, and with institutional support by UNITAR and ANT-Hiroshima, Green Legacy Hiroshima has quickly found resonance among a wide range of individuals and institutions in Hiroshima and around the world: seeds or saplings of the A-Bomb survivor trees now grow in about 20 countries.
The Public Session opened with a presentation by Nassrine Azimi, UNITAR Senior Advisor, examining the vision and action of Green Legacy Hiroshima to date, including an outline of some of the countries to which seeds and saplings have successfully been sent. This was followed by Mr. Chikara Horiguchi, Arborist, outlining the specific genus of the survivor trees, and the methods of their propagation. Noted Hiroshima Architect and Atomic-bomb Survivor, Mr. Akio Nishikori then examined Hiroshima's recovery and the formation of urban beauty. Professor Masakazu Suzuki, of Tsukuba University, followed with an outline of his research into the trees themselves, in particular the fact that some 80% of survivor trees with a single trunk lean toward the hypocenter. Professor Suzuki proposes that this is due to the fact that cells on the side of the trunk facing the hypocenter were damaged by the bomb's heat rays and radiation, making the exposed side grow more slowly than the other. A question and answer period concluded the Public Session.
The Public Session as well as the findings of Professor Suzuki were covered by the Chugoku Shimbun newspaper in a number of articles in Japanese (article 1 and article 2) and English.

Comments about Eiko 100/80 Watt High Wattage 9007 Halogen Low and High Beam Recreational Vehicle Headlight Bulb:
My Dodge Caravan has horrible headlights, and these make it shine like it should. It's not scary driving on dark, country roads anymore. Biggest caution: don't use the high beams very long. They draw so much current, it'll melt your connector. It may say it's for off road use, but there's so many "HID wanna be" headlights out there, that these really aren't noticeably bright for on coming traffic. Basically, it makes just enough difference to make night driving a better experience. I may add these to my trucks at work too.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

From New York's Staten Island borough, an idea has emerged to tap into the city's vast network of retired police officers as an armed force to patrol the schools but the idea is getting a thumbs down from the city's public schools' chancellor.
Staten Island's Community Education Council voted Monday 8-1 in favor of a proposal to hire 300 to 500 retired police officers to serve as plainclothes security guards, carry concealed weapons, and rotate among the city's 1,750 schools.
While the idea has gained some support in a borough that is home to many current and former officers, it has little chance of becoming a reality. That's because the 10-member borough's council only has the power to make a recommendation to the larger New York City school board.
That board and Mayor Michael Bloomberg, one of the nation's most outspoken gun-control advocates, have already indicated they have no interest in putting armed guards in schools.
On Monday's Good Day New York, Chancellor Dennis Walcott also rejected the idea.
"Retired police officers in the schools is not going to happen," Walcott said. He said that the school system already has a good working relationship with the NYPD and has security at every school already.
Still, after the deadly elementary school shooting in Newtown, Conn., last month that killed 20 first-graders and six educators, some Staten Island parents say the idea is worth considering.
"It's a good idea, in the wake of what happened," said Ruben Ayala, who has a second-grader and a kindergartener in the schools. "I'm all for that, especially if it's retired police officers."
Audrey Miller thinks the plan doesn't even go far enough. She'd like to see armed security full time at the school where her daughter is in kindergarten. "If they're here from the time the building opens until the last child is gone, then I'll have a sense of security," she said. "Then I know my child is safe."
Retired officers are likely to support such a program, said Kevin Meurer, a former NYPD lieutenant who served 22 years until he retired in 2010 from a Staten Island precinct. "You have thousands of trained guys who could do this without breaking a sweat," he said.
The potential to earn extra cash would appeal to many retired officers, especially those who have been off the force for some time and see inflation at work on their pensions, Meurer said. But there would also be a pull to serve their city once again. "It's a calling being a cop; it's not just a job."
Rotating the armed officers through the various schools would mean that someone with bad intentions would never know if a particular school is being patrolled, similar to the way armed air marshals may be on any given passenger plane.
Currently, school safety agents, part of the New York Police Department's Schools Safety Division, are not armed. They staff schools and entrances to check photo ID and sign in any visitors. They also help monitor for safety. If there is a criminal or violent incident, the NYPD is called. There are 10 schools that are patrolled by armed police officers as part of a special program — none on Staten Island — but school officials say that is not representative of the school system as a whole.
The NYPD hasn't responded to questions about the use of retired officers being used to patrol schools. According to the proposal, the officers would be hired as independent contractors at no extra cost to the city.
Bloomberg called the Staten Island proposal a "terrible idea" when it was raised last week. He previously tore into the National Rifle Association's proposal to put armed guards in all schools as representing "a paranoid, dystopian vision of a more dangerous and violent America where everyone is armed and no place is safe."
And although the vote has yet to take place, the city Department of Education dismissed it Friday. "We are not considering their proposal," a spokeswoman said in an email.
Sam Pirozzolo, the president of the borough's advisory school board, found the city's dismissive attitude insulting.
But that disconnect from the rest of the city is nothing new. Staten Island is known as the city's most residential, most conservative, most police-friendly borough with the lowest crime rate. Its residents often grumble they are the "forgotten borough." In 1993, Staten Islanders actually voted in favor of seceding from New York City, buoyed by a belief that the borough is typically last on the list for city services. But that movement was blocked in the state legislature.
"We're trying to do this to start a discussion," Pirozzolo said. Children are now being taught about lockdowns and other procedures that might be used if an incident does occur in their schools, he said, why not do something to try to prevent a tragedy before it happens?
"I don't want to make it seem like New York City is doing nothing," he said.
But not everyone is convinced the idea would work, and it might not even have succeeded in stopping something like the shooting in Newtown.
Patricia Felliciano, who has one son in junior high school, an 8-year-old son in third grade and a 4-year-old daughter who will enter kindergarten in the fall, recalled that there was an armed guard at Columbine High School who failed to stop the attack there in 1999.
"It's so easy to forget the past ones when the new tragedy happens," she said. "I don't see how it would stop it. If somebody is crazy enough to go in after schoolchildren who can't defend themselves, they're crazy enough to go after the armed guard first."

TEDxSamsung celebrates TEDx's fourth
TEDx is now 4! This past Saturday, March 23, TEDx celebrated this milestone with a global birthday party, convened by TEDx organizers, volunteers, and fans worldwide. There were cakes, candles, wishes and even a kite or two — all paired with enough enthusiasm to last another 4 years and beyond.
With 6,417 events in 149 countries and 1,777 cities over the past 4 years, and now over 25,000 talks online, the TEDx program would be nothing without its ever-expanding network of dedicated and hard-working volunteers.
So, take a moment and toast them and 4 years of TEDx with a selection of favorite sweet treats from TEDx's 4th:

Every year, 700 curious and energetic leaders share an immersive week of TED Talks and experiences designed to inspire conversation, exchange and immediate action around ideas worth spreading at TEDActive in Palm Springs.
Among this group of wild and crazy changemakers are many, many TEDx organizers, who come together from all corners of the globe to take part in the annual TEDx Workshop at TEDActive. Here, organizers from almost every continent share ideas, food, conversation, and probe the minds of several brave TED staffers.

Activities at this workshop include brainstorms organized by region; presentations by organizers on all the amazing things happening at TEDx events dotting the map — in places close to or thousands miles away from Palm Springs; sessions on TEDx need-to-knows; and Q&As with and presentations by official TED staff.

Last year, over 250 TEDx organizers, from over 45 countries, gathered in the desert to envision the future of TEDx and the power of the collective TEDx community.

One attendee, Areej Mehdi of TEDxKinnaird in Lahore, Pakistan, said of her experience at TEDActive in 2011:
"It is perhaps, only at TEDActive that you can be inspired all 'round the clock—an entire five days…The sense of rejuvenation that I felt as I came across the hard work and effort so many people are putting into their TEDx events all over the world is humbling and awe-inspiring to say the least."

The power of the TEDx Workshop lies in the power of TED — sharing ideas worth spreading — and when TEDx organizers come together, amazing ideas are spread — from culture to culture, community to community. Or as, Saad Hamid, TEDxMargalla organizer, puts it, "What's the x in TEDx? Many ask…I believe that x is the mystery ingredient found in all TEDx organizers around the world. It is what encourages them to create marvels within their community, discover and present new ideas, and create a long-lasting change — all at no cost."

So, with February and TEDActive (February 25 - March 1, 2013) soon approaching, it is only a matter of weeks until the sea of good ideas comes from the intrepid and dedicated TEDx'ers descending onto the desert, and we can't wait to see what happens next.

As our eZine readers are likely aware, I recently made a youth-sized dresser for my first grandchild. I got into the project late in the pregnancy, because our large extended family had been searching yard sales and antique stores for an appropriate vintage dresser. We felt certain that the perfect piece would come along at the right price, but in this we were mistaken.

Changing Table and Dresser – All in One!
While many projects can be somewhat timeless, furniture for babies & children may lose some of its usefulness after time. This reader found a great way to extend the functionality of his work.
I made this changing table for the baby of my brother-in-law and later I made the top that he could add on to modify to a dresser.
So the furniture has a second life, and maybe his daughter will change her baby on the same changing table.
Made of yellow birch.

Happy Birthday, Gna42!
Lady and Laird Candermine: A VERY , VERY Happy Birthday to you!!! May all your dreams and wishes come true!!!

I've been running around like crazy person.. (again, not a shock).

How much more psychedelic can you get.
I am jealous of your Mashing ability!
As the Director of "Scott of the Antarctic" said; "Great, great!"
Jeanna should be overjoyed, but humbled, by what you created for her.
In fact what you did was SO creative, that Jeanna ought to be scrubbing your floors right now!
She ought to be paying you for every day she lives and remembers the Mash you made ALL FOR HER!
In fact, having made her, and all those around her, orgasmically happy, then her extended family should have no problem building that 'ouse you always wanted, overlooking von Helsinker Fjord!

After that many cups of tea (and biscuits!) mashing seems so much more colorful!
But pardon me while I grovel for a sec.
Ladies and gentlemen, someone whom I've always personally admired, perhaps more deeply, more strongly, more abjectly than ever before. A woman, well more than a woman, a god, a great god, whose personality is so totally and utterly wonderful my feeble words of welcome sound wretchedly and pathetically inadequate. Someone whose boots I would gladly lick clean until holes wore through my tongue, a woman who is so totally and utterly wonderful, that I would rather be sealed in a pit of my own filth, than dare tread on the same Stage with her. Ladies and gentlemen the incomparably superior human being, Jeanna!
Yes, I think that's about right.

Please be gentle with me, I come to pieces, literally!

It's easily conceivable that TI-84 and iPod Touch prices could meet at $150 in the near future, and there's no defensible excuse for that. One machine is thousands of times more capable than the other.BuzzFeed's John Herrman • Noting how graphing calculator makers, despite a low amount of innovation in them within the past decade, have managed to artificially keep prices absurdly high, largely due to standardization forced by the College Board, which does not allow calculators with QWERTY keyboards, stylus inputs or connections to cell phones. But let's face it, Herrman insists — it's a strategy that can't last. All that we know was that, way back in 1998, our TI-82 was the first portable device we ever jailbroke.
» Were the parents involved in this? According to a state senator, the amounts of money being talked about in the test-taking scandal (which involved students taking the test in place of other students) were just too much for the kids involved to raise on their own. "There are parents that are complicit in this. They are involved," claimed State Sen. Ken Lavalle. "You can't tell me that students are walking around with $3,500, or $2,500, or $1,200. That's a lot of money, and that means the parents were involved." The case involves a number of different high schools in the same region; some of the districts have emphasized that the students alone are to blame for their actions.
At least 178 teachers and principals in Atlanta Public Schools cheated to raise student scores on high-stakes standardized tests, according to a report from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.
This appears to be the largest of dozens of major cheating scandals, unearthed across the country. The allegations point an ongoing problem for US education, which has developed an ever-increasing dependence on standardized tests.
Keep an eye on this. This is really big news.

With Crawford out, Halos likely to pursue Beltre
Soo much for Crawford coming to Anaheim. I really hate the East Coast teams. That or people just don't want to come to SoCal haha.
Nah, I think the Angels did not want to sign more than a 5 year deal. The club seems to hate that idea, or maybe the money was out of hand too. Blah whatever

Alan's Colorful, Daring & Dramatic East Austin Home
House Tour
Name: Alan Gonzalez Garcia, owner of new East Austin restaurant Papi Tino's and Taco (the dog).
Location: East — Austin, Texas
Size: 2,500 square feet
Years lived in: Owned 3 years
Two things hit you first when you walk into Alan Gonzalez's hip-looking East Austin home. One: Whoa! A black ceiling! And two: The realization that this is going to be one awesome house. The owner of a new, hip restaurant on the East Side called Papi Tino's, this former architect and designer has renovated an old house with cool materials, stunning details and a youthful, bold flair.
Alan outfitted his East Side home with thoughtful material choices and bold elements; the most notable being the oriented strand board (OSB) walls and the painted black peg board ceilings. Both are made of recycled materials and make quite the statement. As does the gorgeous long leaf pine floor, which Alan laid at a dramatic diagonal. In fact, Alan used the flooring much the way some might use rugs: to differentiate areas of the open floor plan by laying the wood planks down in different directions, seen best in the dining area.
Though the ample living room, dining area and kitchen are open, the low, dark ceilings keep the place feeling cozy, and there are plenty of vintage furniture finds, family pieces, art and fun accessories to fill the space with warmth and interest. A cool, modern kitchen is perfect for entertaining lots of guests, and a long, tilted mirror above the kitchen cabinets catches your eye and bounces light into the space. Lots of his material and furniture choices were certainly budget-minded, but he wasn't afraid to splurge where it matters — Italian gray and white marble covers the kitchen counters and a honey onyx stone makes the master bathroom drool-worthy.
Perhaps the most interesting elements are the ideas that Alan incorporated to help gain privacy in the space. He built a semi-transparent barrier wall (it appears to be the house's exterior wall if you are standing from the street) to give him privacy from what he calls poorly placed living room windows but still allow light in. In the same vein, he wallpapered over his bedroom windows to attain more privacy but keep the great light. And if all of that wasn't impressive enough, he even made many of the furniture pieces, like the bedside tables in the master bedroom, the barstools in the kitchen, the living room coffee table and more.
Apartment Therapy Survey:
My Style: Simple, functional and cozy. Recycled material and sustainability.
Inspiration: Japanese, Mexican and Italian architecture and culture.
Favorite Elements: The master bath and my open living/dining/kitchen space.
Biggest Challenge: Taking a new, unfinished house and making it truly my own.
What Friends Say: Most like it, I think, but for some it takes them a second to understand the materials and details.
Biggest Embarrassment: The fact that I don't have a stocked bar or refrigerator despite the fact I own a restaurant/bar.
Biggest Indulgence: Bathrooom fixtures and tile.
Biggest Advice: Keep it simple with feng shui in mind.

I love all the OSB...organic, warm yet industrial and fun. Great job.
I really like this home, very nicely decorated. But I can barely get past all the particle board. I think it's one of those design fads that's going to get old very very soon. Even so, I understand that not everyone has my tastes. But this house has so much particle board that I find it distracting from an otherwise beautiful and tasteful home.
I like the black ceiling. I love the kitchen. But all that particle board - I have several sheets of that in my garage from when the last fierce hurricane roared through Florida, and my neighbor covered my windows with particle board. So much of it inside? No thanks.
Alan, buy some house plants! The off-gassing of formaldehyde from so much exposed particle board must be effecting the indoor air quality something terrible! :)
But otherwise, he color and placement of the flooring is absolutely stunning-well done, Sir!
Overall vote: Very cool!
Individual opinions (my personal taste, definitely not a judgement - this guy is certainly creative!):
Floors - YES!!!!
Particle board - I like it, in smaller doses. I would have used a little less I think, but I like the effect.
Chalk board walls - Yep, still love
Ceiling - Pretty cool
Kitchen - LOVE LOVE
Wallpaper over windows - not for me
Art and Furniture - Super cool
Pink deck - not for me
Ivy wall outside - LOVE!
Oh yeah, the doggie is adorable too! :)
wow, this place is incredible. the bathrooms are amazing and who would have ever thought to wallpaper over windows? taco the choc lab is adorable.
love the kitchen, love the floors, hate the walls.
Love the ivy wall/wire trellis. Anyone know of a source/tutorial to DIY? I'm more concerned with proper materials and fastening to the wall. Thanks much!
Overall very cool, but I'm in the "too much particle board" camp. I second that notion that the off-gassing is an issue, and I think that in many places it would not be up to code to use so much in place of plaster/sheetrock.
Fresh particle board is one of those things that smells like formaldehyde. It's surprisingly difficult to avoid such fumes when using new construction materials. Sometimes just entering a big hardware store would give me respiratory difficulties and a migraine if I didn't leave quickly. Particle board seems not to bother most people, though, and may finish out-gassing given enough time. Regardless, I enjoy seeing such colorful DIY creativity.
Holy particle board, Batman!
Love, love that shower bath. *tear* Why can't bathrooms in rental apts be that awesome? Ah, a girl can dream...
Also, what's up with the amazing amount of awesome house tours that come out of Austin? =)
People... that is not particle board. With as long as the OSB trend has been going I'm surprised people still don't know the difference. And yes you can buy it without formaldehyde.
i don't mind the particle board, aesthetically, at least-- he makes it work. this place is stunning!
I am so in love with this place it hurts!
I actually got anxiety looking at this project.
talktoearthworms, good to know. Would you say the easiest way to distinguish OSB from particle board is that OSB contains larger wood bits? (Or, a person could read the manufacturers' stamps.)
I think this is the sort of place that looks über-hip and cool at night. But in the daytime it doesn't seem as great - black is an unforgiving color in daylight! It can come off as cheap. This house tour should be photographed at night, I bet you'd get a lot more ooh's and ahh's :-) It is a VERY "man" house (how many TV's dude?!), you should get some plants and some nice pilows :-) Though I must say... the bathrooms are very nice!! Thanks for the tour!
@Miami's Elaine....the simplest way is to think of particle like we do in Europe where it is called chipboard, ie made of little chips and bits. OSB or orientated strand board is made of strands of wood, but your logic also works ;-)
Creativity at its best. The artwork and black ceilings are incredible.
The furnishings and dark colors are absolutely riveting and moody (which I love), but the over flux of OSB finish sours the look a bit for me. That being said, I think the dining room works well with the OSB, and those cute little OSB side tables in one of the bedrooms are freakin adorable!!
I love the vibe and personality. It IS a lot of particle board which I just imagine picking my clothes-especially the bar stools. Love the juxtaposition of the fancy dining room chandelier against it, though. The kitchen is a dream as is his adorable grey-snouted dog. Overall an inspiring, creative space.
I like his house. I applaud his bold moves and the reclaimed approach, but his restaurant Papi Tino's has an even cooler appeal to it. Damn, I love my city.
POSTER'S NOTE: To everyone who totally saw instantly that this is OSB and not particle board, you guys are awesome! My eyes are embarrassingly not as good at spotting the differences and I misunderstood Alan when he was telling me what it was. I've fixed it in the copy--and thank you for all noticing it!
Heh, I know this house, it's a few blocks away from mine. It was half way flipped (like all the interior was torn out) and then sat on the market in an unfinished state for a while. (I think it might have been a foreclosure)
Always thought the translucent exterior wall was striking but I'm not particularly wild about the OSB.
I dig this place. I love the black and the chalkboard walls and some of the OSB/ particle board. I like the look and texture of it especially on the kitchen cabinets and maybe as a backsplash, but the walls may be a bit much for myself. I love the kitchen and the feel of the place!
What is OSB?
It must feel great to customize a space exactly as you want it.
The OSB is very creative but I think there is too much of it (particularly in the living room).
Otherwise, very cool house (ok, EXCEPT the pink deck -yikes!). Beautiful flooring.
What's with the 'vodka sex' note on the blackboard? :-)
Alan, I love everything except the OSB. I love the painting above the tv too! And you have a nice smile and a nice doggie. Oh, and I'm not a fan of beds on the floor = spiders crawling over you in the night.
Yeah, Austin is the coolest.
When I buy OSB it always has black-ink printing all over it (or, sometimes, green). I wonder what he did to get it off?
He appears to have put a clear finish on it, which can really bring out the pattern so to speak. I've seen some really nice smaller pieces made out of it. For someone who does a fair amount of construction, I think it would be hard, though, to wrap your mind around "it's finished." To me, it would always and forever look like it waiting to be clad!
Love it!
...is he single?
cathgrl1, OSB = oriented strand board. There's an entry for it in Wikipedia that I just looked at, that's how I know.
I love the art work above the bed, where is it from?
Oops, never mind, I just re-read the part about it being Alans' brother's work. It is beautiful
Wonderful space, I'd die for that kitchen! The flooring is simply lovely. OSB overkill, though.
I'd keep the walls and ditch the OSB furniture.
Love the art, ceiling, kitchen and bathrooms - actually love everything about it. Beautiful house, man and dog! Have driven by this house and have always wondered about the interior. Thanks for the post from a fellow este austinite.
The paintings are incredible.
OSB overload. I appreciate the creativity but wow, does EVERYTHING need to be made out of OSB. It appears that one of the bedrooms walls was OSB painted black - cool effect. I think the other OSB walls painted in bold colours to celebrate the texture might be fun. I agree with Dewie's Girl though - I would ditch the OSB furniture.
The chalkboard art however - fantastic. The bathroom wallpaper - beautiful.
Although the entire aesthetic of the place isn't mine - that's the reason we all love Apartment Therapy posts. Gotta break outside of the Sarah Richardson box baby! See what crazy ideas are out there.
Ouch! I think I got a splinter or two just looking at the pics. But, overall I like it. Looks like a great place to spend time. I am wondering about where a 2,500 SF house is on the east side of Austin? That's really large for the neighborhood.
Love Love Love Love Love It. Want to marry him. And the pink deck sealed the deal.
I'm with the others on the walls... Not crazy about it, but only because that's what our unfinished utility room looks like and it's, you know, unfinished. I'm conditioned to want to change it. I could live with it, I could probably even like it after a few gallons of paint.
I feel like I should add that I really like the rest of the house. I'm just at odds with the walls.
That bathroom is incredible!
LOVE the art and the originality of this place. Not a fan of the all the OSB walls but aside from that, great job!
I love seeing different ideas, and I'm sure this house id perfect for the owner, but I would never be able to get over feeling like I'm living in a garage.
@fraser: My thoughts exactly! I love the space, even if it's little too masculine for my tastes. And I'll take one of the dude in it! Adorable!
Love the vibe, it seems to suit the owner perfectly! Love the paintings, the handmade bar stools and the chalkboard walls...a little worried about the wine being over the fridge and exposed to that extra heat...drink it fast!
Love the floors and the bright bedroom. The OSB throws me off, for some reason I'm hoping this guy has good insurance against fires.
Taco is absolutely the CUTEST.
I love this place! Not that big on the OSB - I like the feeling it creates, but I'd choose something a little more finished looking, just personal taste. I love the high/low surprises, and I love Jair Gonzalez's paintings! Awesome place. I hope the fires in Austin stay far, far away from this home!
You should really open a coffee shop. This look is already a business plan in itself... just add your own roaster and an ironic "library" section that only has crappy harlequin romance novels and you are set!
What I really wanted to say was, nice ride! I have a white mixte frame as well and I love it!
This is truly a masterpiece. LOVE! (Including the OSB.)
Gorgeous home with some lovely details such as the tile work in the bathroom and the wood floors...but the particle board is a bit much for me. It would be fine on one wall...but it seems to be everywhere here!
I'm torn. I really like the house - minus the particle board. To me, it just looks like the place is under construction.
An architect and a restauranteur....interesting combo! Dig the vibe of your place. Hey, your restaurant looks awesome also! If I'm ever in the area, would enjoy some queso panela al horno! All the best in your new venture....and happy home too! Thanks for posting.
Oh dear... I have to agree with the majority here... love the place! Very cool... However I'm not liking the OSB so much, while looking at the pic's keep on thinking that the place hasn't been finished!
Like someone above said it would probably look lovely and warm at night - my walls are bright red... not so great in the sunshine but cosy when the sun goes down..
But everyone to their own!
There is a Indonesian restaurant in LA I frequent that uses OSB/particleboard in small amounts, and I think it looks very nice. This is just way too much. Also think it looks sloppy to wallpaper right over windows since it was the same as what's on the walls. Maybe if it was a different pattern or contrasting color it would look nice, but it looks kind of like an accident to me. I do like the wallpaper pattern though. And I think chalkboards are so cliche right now (sorry!). I think the black ceiling works.
I love it. No I hate it. No, love it. I don't know!
Wow, this has to be the most creative, innovative house tour I've ever seen. It's so edgy that I can understand people's mixed feelings. That, to me, means it's truly original. I also love the art.
Between the particle board and the pegboard and the blackboard, Alan definitely went a little overboard here, no pun intended. Luckily, most of that seems easy enough to fix for someone as handy and as talented as he is. The floors are nice though, and the bathrooms are beautiful. Maybe someday Alan can bring the rest of the house up to their luxe style. Also, Alan himself is rather nicely designed, but alas, it could never work out between us. I'm allergic to chalk.
Alan, your a cutie, but you may be a bit of a procrastinator... when you wallpapered that bedroom, you meant to cutout the windows, but just never got around to it. Right?
This is a conditioned response. Everyone's used to drywall and the unusual wood effect makes people uncomfortable. If it were the other way around, if everyone had OSB in their homes, they'd think drywall looked too institutional. I reeaallly like it in this application. Went back through the photos imagining the house with standard walls and felt it would be a lot less interesting. So I say well done! The art is great and dog and his owner are adorable as well.
As much as I like it, I do feel like something needs to happen with the built in shelves between the living space and kitchen. The balance between wood, paint and blackboard is not quite right, imo. And I'd add something, (maybe a sculpture?) to the wall between the door and the twin bed. But I'm sure the homeowner has lots of things he still wants to do and he's clearly talented and probably has many better ideas than mine. I still think he created something pretty special out of what could be a very ordinary space. I wish I could see the panels he built to screen the street but allow the light. While I probably won't ever have OSB in a home of my own, I'm not going to forget this house.
Yes, a little too much OSB - I know it is sort of in at the moment but a little goes a long way. I like a lot of the elements here but just too much texture.
makes me want to go out and get some fresh air! I did like the pink deck though....
It's appropriate and reasonable to require some diplomacy here. You may say practically any thing to practically any one if you show the basic respect due most people. I have to laugh when reading the blog equivalent of, "How dare you infringe on my constitutional rights by not letting me pee on you?" How backwards not to recognize reciprocity and empathy as cornerstones of society.
Alan has made some incredibly lush and elegant design choices. I love the layout of the house. But the wall panel brought back painful memories of the ugly tract house I grew up in with its one-of-a-kind reddish plywood-paneled walls. My Dad thought they were great because we never had to paint or paper them. My Mom grinned and bore them. Seeing Alan's OBS walls brought back the shame of living in that ugly house. I wish he had been our designer: the place could have been a showpiece.
You may be right, however, I wasn't writing about this thread as much as about comment policy compliance generally. An AT house tour sometimes seems like a party during which a drunk puking on the floor proclaims himself a performance artist. He should be removed from the host's home despite obfuscations, and abusive comments should be removed from AT. A few commenters' free-floating antagonism, ugly distortion, and misplaced contempt discourage many readers from sharing their homes. It's a shame we all miss out because of a few flamers.
P. S. Oops, the response I responded to is gone.
Daring indeed! Love the floors, love the open concept layout. He's got some nice tiles and artwork. Aside from a few elements, this place does not float my boat. Seriously? Did he wallpaper OVER his windows? That's caaaa-razy. Props to him for creativity and really making this space his very own.
So cool and orginal. LOVE it!!!!! Adorable dog. ps: Alan, you are one handsome guy :)
Love the wallpaper over the windows. So original and a brilliant way to cover an ugly view. Love the boldness of this home!
Wow, not my taste at all, but I admire that he had a vision and went all in! Very original and no doubt the homeowner enjoys the unique space he created, so kudos to him.
The floors are especially nice.
You know for me to post 9 images of one space means I'm seriously into what's going on there. This place is a tremendous departure from what I see from day to day reviewing design blogs to bring the best of masculine design to you, and I couldn't be happier (it's even located right here in Austin; what could be better?).
As for the OSB debate, I'm of the opinion that the use of OSB for walls is part of what makes this place stand out from the crowd. In a good way, to my thinking. In some photos you can see it's used for a variety of furnishings as well–from a coffee table to bar stools–and that's where I think it's gone over the line. I prefer to think the owner/architect will replace those items with other pieces down the line.
A couple of my favorite features: that kitchen is amazing; the mixture of elements in the dining space rocks; that black painted bedroom–wow; lighting and marble in the bathroom; and that awesome open walk-in dressing space!
I had to look at it again (and again). Just so inventive. Personally, I think the use of particle board is amazing. And I love the furniture Alan made. the chalkboard paint, the amazing art (I want that black piece with the white line drawing over the bed!!!!!), the leather chairs, the dog, the chandelier, the flowers... I could go on :) Such originality. I am moving to LA in a few weeks and have zero carpentry skills but I am going to commission someone to capture some of these ideas in furniture design for my space! I am thinking a particleboard/steel vanity/makeup area/dressing room piece. And I would love Alan's brother's details for some art work. Thank you for the visual pleasure!
Love what you did with the flooring. What a simple yet brilliant idea for an open plan.
I would want to steal your dog (great name too).
I could never live there (the black ceiling and particle board would probably plunge me into depression), but it's very inventive and interesting.
Not my thing, but it's certainly creative. I quickly glanced at the photo of the master shower, what is the material used in there? I like it. And the doggie is adorable. Thanks for sharing!
Definitely a man's pad, love most if it but think its a little overkill on the OSB.
Just for everyones info. OSB is a pretty environmentally sound product. It's off gassing is minimal (under the industry standard) and it can be sealed thus eliminating the exposure to formaldehyde.
As for it's environmental impact, it using young growth trees, saving old growth forests..and though there are resins used in its fabrication..those too are under investigation for how much they do actually harm the environment as very little osb seems to end up being thrown out. Make no mistake, Plywood is a lot worse for the world!
I personally love the texture of osb. We in the states have much to learn about veneers and fabricated wood products. WE STILL HAVE THIS ABSURD NEED FOR PURE OLD TREES IN OUR HOMES..too bad because we cant grow the forests in our life time.
Engineered wood products are wonderful in many ways. We have to keep demanding that the industry finds safe glues and establish the best recycling programs. It is just as much a consumer concern that these are implemented as it is for the manufacturers.
Alan has done a wonderful job here. Perhaos not to everyones own taste. I think it's fab and he should be commended for staying OUT OF THE BIG BOX STORES...where everything comes from CHINA. One of the biggest polluters in the world!
I just finished the blog. Really very helpful. Thanks for sharing such an amazing blog.

Cook corn and milk in a skillet over medium-high heat until corn is tender, 7 to 9 minutes. Let cool completely.
Puree 2/3 cup corn mixture, the tofu, lime juice, and salt in a food processor; season with pepper. Transfer to a serving bowl, and stir in remaining corn mixture, the tomatoes, and basil. Serve with chips.
Dip can be refrigerated in an airtight container up to 1 day.
This is delicious, but make sure you know your audience. Took it to a potluck last year, and there were too many other chip-dip things competing for attention, and the tofu scared people off. Those brave enough to try it liked it. I'd say the recipe serves more like 6-8.Reply
This was delicious. I doubled the recipe and added extra corn to make it more chunky. As a matter of fact I added more tomatoes and basil too. I used frozen white corn and white pepper instead of fresh black pepper to have a consistent color. Turned out great!Reply
I will try this recipe to verfy our dinnar
thank you
I'm excited to try this recipe.Reply
I'm excited to try this recipe.Reply

EcoGeek is getting ready to launch a new blog this week...an environmental politics blog at EnviroWonk.com. Though the site isn't officially launched yet, I have to point people to www.worcestercountybar.org the beta, because the chief editor, Dave Loos, just put together an amazing environmental analysis of the www.drk-dillenburg.de State of i use it hydrochlorothiazide cialis the Union address.
You should check that out for sure...but the only thing even slightly interesting on the energy and robert-alonso-photos.com environment front was Bush's comments on an "International Clean Technology Fund."
Now, when I heard this, I thought, "Oh a fund to help finance research and development of clean technology internationally," which would be very cool. But it turns out that it's a fund to help developing countries invest in clean energy. And while that sounds like a fantastic idea to me, it feels like that's the kind of thing that we could throw money at indefinitely, and not see much of a result.
Bush is apparently proposing $2 billion for the fund. I'm sure that it will help, but I almost think it would be more intelligent to try to use that money to make the technology cheaper everywhere than to subsidize it specifically in the developing world. Anyway, there you have the ONLY piece of news from the order cialis usa State of the Union that is in any way interesting. Now we can move on to brand cialis pretending he's not there.

What I mean is that sometimes developing "low-tech" technologies using what we know of high tech today can do viag ra canadian chemist a lot of good in developing countries, but of cialis 6 free samples course, the money needs to be given to specific projects, not just thrown at governments. The projects in these technologies are also a lot more cost-effective than for high technology which means that 2 billion would go a lot further there.
Depending on cheap levitra generic where mr. Bush is going with this, I see it as a potentially fantastic proposal that could do a lot of people a LOT of good.

Jessica Haberkern
I never imagined that I'd call New England home, and yet this morning I am here. The sun greets me by melting the frost gathered like crystals in the corners of my windowpane and casts shadows from the birch trees onto my bed. A few weeks ago, the scene was different—I had a job and friends and a loft situated in the heart of a concrete jungle. Now I am living on the campus of a seminary, which is as foreign to me as taking up residence at a convent.
I remember the day my husband told me he wanted to quit his career as a motion graphic designer and go to seminary. We were on an afternoon stroll through the park behind our street. The heat lingering over the sidewalk rivaled the stagnancy of our marriage. Not seeing eye to eye was new to us, and the summer had felt like a disaster. Seminary, I said, us? I fumbled over the words strung together, but I sensed that my husband was right.
We were both frustrated with detaching our Sundays from the workweek—Christian one day and ordinary members of society another. Sure, we read our Bibles, a lot in fact. We engaged in ministry and attended small groups. We prayed together and occasionally brought food to the homeless and jobless on our street. Still, something was missing, and its gaping hole was growing wider.
We had assembled our lives like giant puzzle pieces, arranging the God-piece where we thought it fit. Our foundation was in Christ, yes, but the rest of our puzzle created a picture of us. How do I want to follow Jesus? What does God want me to do? These questions were legitimate, but through trying to serve God on our terms, we were only serving ourselves.
In his book Radical, writer David Platt says that if you ask the average American Christian to summarize the message of his or her faith, the response will go something like this: God loves me enough to send His Son Jesus to die for me. Sounds good, right? But that's not all, Platt argues. "The message of biblical Christianity is not 'God loves me, period,' as if we were the object of our own faith," he writes. That account of the Christian narrative stops short of the full story. Instead, the message of Christianity is "God loves me so that I might make Him—His ways, His salvation, His glory, and His greatness—known among all nations."
God loves me so that I can make His name known. How simple of a truth. I am not the end of the gospel, God is. And yet how often do I need to be reminded that all of my puzzle pieces should reflect the glory of Christ Jesus.
My husband and I are not the first people to have uprooted our life to attend seminary. We are not special in that sense. Nearly every family in our new home has experienced some sort of reckoning, either by leaving a job or church or simply abandoning their plans at the feet of Jesus. I pray, though, that as my husband and I enter into community and classes and begin to reshape our life around God's word, that we would do so in the crux of the gospel truth. Every circumstance in my life up until this very moment has occurred to make His name known. That is my story. It is my husband's story, and it is yours.
Sometimes I'm prone to think that the writers of scripture wrestled with different questions than I. Surely the fathers of our faith weren't surrounded with uncertainty about their direction or purpose! And then I page through their words and discover that they were often just as lost. Though there are many stories of encouragement in the scriptures, I find Isaiah's particularly pertinent to my current season of life. In Isaiah 6, God is holding court with His angels. They are in intense discussion. "Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?" Isaiah overhears God (6:8).
Notice that God did not single out Isaiah and beg—His will illuminated in flashing lights—or even charge Isaiah with the call to go. Isaiah is privy to God's heavenly conversation because he is still and quiet and found in prayer. "Whether or not [we] hear God's call depends on the state of [our] ears," Oswald Chambers says.
Lend an attentive ear to the throne. What plans does God have in the works? Are you willing to say, here I am Lord, send me? The gospel, after all, does not end with you or me. It ends with Christ, His name glorified.
Are you listening?
