The guiding force of any narrative film is the director. This two – week intensive is for emerging film directors interested in the craft, process and techniques of directing. Casting, rehearsal techniques, script, storyboarding and scene analysis, art direction and collaboration are examined and experienced by each class member. Students explore and develop effective ways to lead, inspire, manage and direct the cast and crew's creative energies in order to realize the director's vision. This course is specifically designed to provide an understanding of storytelling techniques and story development through actors and the camera. It addresses the major practical issues associated with narrative filmmaking.
The relationship between actors and the camera is a primary responsibility of the director and is the focus of the second week of this intensive. This is a practical laboratory for directors who want to explore the process of directing both actors and camera operators. Students are required to bring a two-to-three minute scene from a script with two or three characters from a film they have not seen or from a play, novel, short story or their own original screenplay.
Throughout the week, students cast and rehearse scenes working with actors, to work out blocking and camera moves, and inspire performances from all involved. The goal is to explore the directorial and collaborative processes and the techniques needed to create convincing performances. The camera is used to help tell the story rather than as a simple recording device.
Winter/Spring lodging and meal package available for $475 per week. Includes breakfast and lunch Monday – Friday. Dinner services are not available during our Winter/Spring session. Meal plan (mandatory) without lodging $100 per week.

We all know that pictures say more than thousands words. In order to allow the picture to speak with the reader clearly you need to take a better screenshot with right resolution covering important information that you want to say. As a blogger I use many screenshots to make my readers understand the concept better. You can also see screenshots in software manuals both online and print, care must to taken to get a better screenshot even after printing.
Traditionally many people use Print screen button on their keyboard to copy entire screen to the clipboard and use paintbrush or Photoshop to edit the shot. This can be very time consuming and a labors process if you are looking forward to capture several screenshots. There are many special software's available which allow you to easily capture a piece of the screen or full screen easily.

A free rental valuation from Reeds Rains is your first step towards letting your property and generating a rental income from your investment.
At Reeds Rains we offer three types of Letting Service - Let Only, Rent Collection and Full Management. Your decision depends on how much involvement you want with the running of the tenancy AFTER the tenant has moved into the property.
This tenant finder service provides everything you would require until the tenant moves into the property.

Letting residential property in England and Wales is covered by various Housing Acts, and Landlord and Tenant Acts, as well as various Safety Regulations. Using a letting agent is by far the best way of ensuring that your property—and you as the landlord—are protected from issues raised by these Acts and Regulations.
Your letting agent will owe both you and your tenant a "duty of care". It is important that this duty of care is backed up with both "public liability insurance" and "professional indemnity insurance". Any funds belonging to either the landlord or the tenant should be kept in a separate client account and not used by the agent in the course of their business.
Reeds Rains prides itself on ensuring that we act in the best interests of our clients and provide a comprehensive service backed by all of the required insurances, as well as operating a complaints procedure, should the need arise, which adheres to the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors Guidelines.

After 8 years of service, police dog Yoshi retires
Published on Wed, Sep 30, 2009 by
Jack Kintner
Read More
After eight years, 1,076 calls, many arrests and detections including a year in which he found over a quarter ton of drugs, Blaine's police dog Yoschi, 10, is retiring.
"He's a good dog," said his handler, Blaine K-9 officer Mike Munden, "and is recognized as such by other departments in the area that we've worked with." Indeed, Yoschi has a reputation for not giving up and for making some surprising arrests.
He is the first police dog in the county whose work resulted in a search warrant being granted based on K-9 tracking of a suspect. The suspect, a man who fired several rounds from a rifle into an occupied car, nearly killing a six-year-old child, was arrested and convicted.
Two years ago last December the Whatcom County Sheriff's Office (WCSO) pursued a suspect into a Birch Bay woodlot and Munden ran the track, or trailed the suspect, along with K-9 deputy Lonnie Beauman. "This track mainly sticks out because I was ready to call it quits when we suddenly hooked into the track and found the suspect," Munden said, adding that Yoschi literally pulled him around and back on the trail as they approached their patrol car to head for home. "He was always saving my tail that way," Munden said.
Yoschi has earned a reputation, Munden said, among area police forces as a determined and diligent police dog. He's a full-blooded black German Shepherd purchased with part of the $60,000 supporters raised in the K-9 program's first year of operation. Donations came from various community sources, individuals and grants, and was enough to guarantee the first three years of operation. It still is funded entirely by donations from the community.
Munden first served with a K-9 unit in his native New Mexico, but says that he really got into the specialized kind of service here in Blaine, something he started after the department encouraged him but offered no financial support.
"Munden single-handedly pulled the program together," Blaine police chief Mike Haslip said, "writing 600 letters soliciting contributions. Within several months, Munden collected enough for a K-9 program. And so, on September 10, 2001, one day before the 9/11 attacks, Munden and Yoschi began training that was hosted by the Delta police department in Delta, B.C., which is known as a leading training center in North America."
Munden and Yoschi completed 520 hours of training, 120 more than required for a police officer in 2002. In addition to patrol training, Munden sought and completed drug training for Yoschi, who can now detect cocaine, marijuana, heroin, and methamphetamine.
"His first real track on patrol came a few months later when a group of juveniles committed a dine and dash from Denny's," Munden said. "I used a short lead and followed Yoschi through the pouring rain. He went straight to the front door of a house and a knock on the door led to the arrest of a group of juveniles who were hiding there. I remember it as the first time that I realized, 'Hey, this dog stuff works!' "
Munden said that Yoschi found one suspect a mile and a half from the vehicle he'd used to try to jump the border in front of Smuggler's Inn, buried under a mound of blackberries.
Yoschi's retirement and recognition of his replacement, already in training, will be formally recognized at a Blaine police department open house to be held next month.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) -- A Louisville man is facing charges after police said he caused an explosion while cooking meth.
Cory Gibson is charged with wanton endangerment.
He was arrested Tuesday afternoon at his home in the 300 block of Southwestern Parkway. Police said an explosion happened while he was making meth, damaging the home and putting other people in danger.
In 2009, Gibson was convicted of manslaughter, in the death of Zoann McCampbell. Her body was found near a dumpster in Shively in 2007. Gibson told police he strangled McCampbell while the two were having sex at the Louisville Manor Motel.

A.E.C.M. said:
A Hercule Poirot Novel. This certainly wasn't one of my favorites of Hercule Poirot books, but it was still quite good. The mystery wasn't the best, but the characters were hillarious and I was glad to see Hastings back. It really works well, having the Hasting/Watson and Poirot/Holmes thing in mysteries like this, probably because you need a down-to-earth main character to balance a brilliant detective that is hard to relate to. I look forward to reading more of this series.

If she is a cutter, then you shouldn't be making light randki,zdrada,kochanek,flirt, of it by calling her crazy. This is a mental issue that affects millions of teen girls in this country and they don't need to read some asshole like you calling them nuts. You are such an asshole. Do you ever think before you write something?
So not really on the same topic as your post, but I found this today and I just can't resist sharing. Mrs. Agathe's dishwasher quit working so she called a repairman. Since she had to go to work the next day, she told him, "I'll leave the key under the mat. Fix the dishwasher, leave the bill on the counter, and I'll mail you the check. Oh, and by the way…don't worry about my Doberman. He won't bother you. But, whatever you do, do NOT under ANY circumstances talk to my parrot!" When the repairman arrived at Mrs. Agathe's apartment the next day, he discovered the biggest and meanest looking Doberman he had ever seen. But just as she had said, the dog simply laid there on the carpet, watching the repairman go about his business. However, the whole time the parrot drove him nuts with his incessant cursing, yelling and name-calling. Finally the repairman couldn't contain himself any longer and yelled, "Shut up, you stupid ugly bird!" To which the parrot replied, "Get him, Spike!"

You managed to hit the nail right on the head and rolled out everything without complication. Hopefully, other people can take a cue. Will be back for additional. Keep writing
My mum and I want to create a weblog similar to this for our web site, I stumbled across your web blog looking to get some ideas on the theme as well as design. I am taking some coding course in college but not sure if I would have the ability to produce a site like this one just yet. Did you code this site yourself or use a qualified?
Just a quick hello and also to thank you for discussing your ideas on this page. I wound up on your weblog after researching physical fitness associated items on Yahoo… guess I lost track of what I had been doing!

Merely wished to point out I really enjoy your work on this blog site and the good quality blogposts you make.

I do some blogging myself and I am always pleased to see others giving top quality data towards the community. I will certainly be following and now have book marked your website to my personal twitter account for others to look at.
After reading a few of your blogposts I seriously found this specific one to be great. I've a blog site as well and want to repost some snips of your respective articles on my blog site. Would it be alright if I do this as long I personal reference your site or generate a one way link towards the posting I took the snip from? If not I am aware of and would never do it without your authorization . I have book marked this valuable posting to twitter along with flickr accounts for reference. Nevertheless many thanks either way!

For the longest time, Blake Lively was kind of like the Loch Ness Monster to us. We heard plenty of stories and rumors about her existence, but we really didn't do any investigative work on our own to confirm it. We could have passed her on the street and wouldn't have blinked an eye. We knew that she was in a something called "Gossip Girl," but c'mon, we're not going to watch that shit. But now that she's made the leap to actual big screen movies with "Green Lantern" — which, to be honest, we are not looking forward to at all — she is officially on our radar. And while we probably don't need to announce her existence to you, our fine readers, we felt we better make sure by throwing together a gallery of Ms. Lively.

You have to remember that the web server is probably operating under it's own user account (like www or whatever it is -- try 'ps -ajx|grep http' to see). So, you need to let the webserver read your webpages. The Sites folder is set up for public access, but your Documents folder is not. Heck, you don't want a billion poeple looking at your docs. But if you do, you'll need to set the permissions correctly. Try 'chmod 755 MyWeb' from your HTML dir to give read access to the world (including the web server). Basically, you got a permissions problem. About 95% of Unix problems are permission problems.

US Navy to drop 'rude' all-caps messages
The tradition started in the 19th century, when teletype machines did not have lowercase letters.
The U.S. Navy, however, has been communicating in all caps since the 19th century. And it's been a little jarring for young sailors especially to see capital letters used in orders and other official messages.
So the Navy is dropping all caps to make its communications "more readable and less rude," reports The Wall Street Journal -- which cheekily decided to write up the situation in all capital letters.
A Navy official told The Journal that the decision will save money. It's part of a new, cost-effective messaging system that comes online in August. "If an ancillary benefit is that sailors reading message traffic no longer feel they're being screamed at. . . that's a good thing, too," the official added.
Other units of the military still use all-caps, and other officers are hoping the rest of the Pentagon follows the Navy's example.
This is not an example of the Navy going soft, The Journal reports. "Only now is the Navy acknowledging that the rest of the world has embraced lowercase letters and that all-caps messages are deeply annoying," the newspaper added.

- All-you-can-fly airline offers flat fee
The under 35 group consider using all caps as shouting and being rude meanwhile that same group
on a statistical level can't spell and have poor grammar skills. 70% of the resumes sent to employers have either typos, texting characters or spelling errors and they wonder why the group is under employed.

Why Do So Many People Loathe Their Jobs - And How Do We Fix That?
The default context for work is this: work is not fun, but we need to do it to make a living.
And we dream that, one day, when we "make it big" and earn enough money, we can quit work and have more fun in life.
In other words, for most people work is seen as the opposite of fun.
I believe that is a lie which we've been born into.
For a lot of people - even today - work is their passion, their mission in life, the source of fulfilment and a means through which they make a difference. People have dedicated their lives to their jobs. They have even died - willingly - because they believed their work had meaning greater than their own life/
It's an incredible gift and a privilege to enjoy your work. The question is - how to we allow more people experience that gift? How do we stop people from wasting their lives in meaningless 9-5 jobs which they loathe?
How to we allow people to realise their passions and translate them into successful, profitable business ventures which feed their souls and make a difference?
Those are the questions I'm interested in exploring.

Limited to 200 Copies on Clear Pro-Dubbed 2xCS
The 2x Cassette/Digital curated compliation on Electric Temple Records entitled "Gaman: A Ceremony for Japan" is a benefit directly contributing the recovery of Japan. We have all been troubled by the happenings across the sea, but for almost all musicians in the experimental music scene, Japan is a place of sacred innovation, inimitable soul, and a relentless discipline unlike any other country. We know this will carry over in to the recovery process of the current natural disasters, but for us musicians, this is a small token of our appreciation for the things we've been given by such a beautiful country with so much tradition. All proceeds will go to Shelterbox: http://www.shelterbox.org/. This organization provides emergency shelter and lifesaving supplies for families around the world who are affected by disasters at the time when they need it the most. They also are currently set up in Japan, making sure these beautiful gifts are affecting families one by one. As the benefit proceeds, we will be tracking the boxes that make it to families in Japan — that way each and every one of us that contributed know directly how we are helping and influencing, at least in some small way. Thanks to John Kolodij, John Twells, Nicole Yalaz, Rich Guzman (for the art!) and National Audio Company for their immense help in making this project a reality. Please join us in donating a small token for those in need. THANKS TO NAC FOR DONATING ALL 200 TAPES

1996 Ford Aspire by An MSN Autos Consumer on 09/22/2011. Trim: 1996 Ford Aspire 4-Door, Owned more than 10 years.
Pros: I've owned this1996 Ford 4 door,Aspire, auto, with air, power steering, abs, for 14 years and it has never not started! Will have 200,000 miles on it within the year. This has been a great car. A/C is the coldest and has never been charged. Never have had any problems with this car but regular maintainance, exhuast, brakes, tires, oil. Great gas mileage.
Cons: The only think I can come up with is the O2 sensor in the exhaust manifold. When that falls out it is one loud car.
Overall review: I would recommend this model.

Oshadhi - Professional Aromatherapy Organic Orange Blossom Floral Water - 200 ml.
Oshadhi Organic Orange Blossom (Citrus aurantium) Floral Water is a therapeutic quality hydrolat from Morocco. With respect to skin care, Neroli is most suitable for delicate and sensitive skin. It is powerfully astringent, so avoid using it on skin that is very dry. It can be used in conjuction with Cistus for its clearing properties. This is an excellent blend for troubled skin. Refrigerate, or store in a cool place after opening.Product ProfilePart of plant:BlossomsCultivation:OrganicExtraction:Steam distillationCountry of origin:MoroccoHydrosols are aromatherapy products that are co-produced with essential oils during the steam distillation of plant material. Hydrosols are the hydrophyllic or water-soluble constituents of the plant and essential oils are the lipophyllic or oil-soluble parts of the plant. When distillation is complete the essential oil and hydrosol emerge separated--the essential oil floating on top of the hydrosol. The essential oil and hydrosol are then bottled individually for use.Hydrosols have unique, gentle, therapeutic properties that are well-suited for all ages, including children and the elderly.Physical:Digestive aid. Relieves heartburn. Eases stomach cramps.Psychological:Relieves anxiety and stress. Calms.Subtle:Provides support, especially during times of quitting a habit.Skin care:Hydrates, rejuvenates, and tones. Has astringent properties. Especially good for sensitive, oily, and blemished skins.
About Oshadhi AromatherapyOshadhi essential oils, Oshadhi pure organic essential oils and Oshadhi aromatherapy oils. Oshadhi only deals with farmers who work in harmony with nature, and who share our ideals of organic agriculture. In this way they offer you a key element in your natural lifestyle: the finest therapeutic quality in the purest and most fragrant essential oils on our planet.
Energetic Quality Oshadhi's goal is simple: to provide pure products of the finest energetic quality:
Ambient DiffusionDiffusers disperse essential oils into the air with a cool air stream or gentle warmth. They are ideal for to cleanse and refresh the air, and to create a mood-setting, fragrant atmosphere. Follow manufacturers instructions.
Full-body Massage / Area MassageMassage is considered by many to be one of the best ways to experience aromatherapy due to the combined benefits of essential oils and touch. Massage soothes tired muscles, relieves physical tension, and in turn, eases mental stress. It's easy to make your own therapeutic, aromatherapy massage oil using Oshadhi singles or synergy blends. Simply add 12 drops of essential oil into 1 ounce of organic Oshadhi carrier oil such as sweet almond or grapeseed. This makes a 2% dilution. Sensitive skin may require a lower amount, such as 6 drops in 1 ounce, or less, if necessary.
BathA bathcombines the restorative effects of both water and essential oils in a most pleasurable way. They are perfect to soothe tired muscles, pamper the skin, and promote emotional balance. Use 8-10 drops to a full tub of water. It is best to add the essential oils after you have immersed yourself, so you receive the full benefits of the oils as they begin to diffuse in the warm water.
Direct InhalationPut 3 drops of essential oil on a tissue and inhale the aroma through your nose. Pause, inhale again, and repeat. (Avoid touch the tissue to your nose.)
Strong Application / Regular ApplicationCertain situations require a strong dilution (10%) that is used for a brief period of time, on a small area. Others require a regular strength application (2%). Experiment with the strength and adjust, if necessary, to avoid skin irritation. The essential oils can be diluted in a carrier oil, or other medium such as aloe vera gel or witch hazel distillate. Strong application: 10 drops of essential oil in 1 teaspoon of carrier. Regular application: 2 drops of essential oil in 1 teaspoon of carrier.
Chest RubThe old-fashioned chest rub is as beneficial today as it has been for decades, and many of the Oshadhi singles oils and synergies are helpful to open up deep breathing. Mix 10-20 drops of essential oil in 1 ounce of carrier oil and apply to upper chest and upper back.
ShowerAfter your shower, put 3-5 drops of essential oil in your hands and rub them together. While your skin is till damp from the shower, quickly and evenly spread the oil over your arms, legs, and torso. Foot BathA foot bath is perfect to soothe tired feet or to use when you do not have time for a full bath. Mix 2-4 drops of essential oil in a tub of water. Adjust the temperature of the water to suit your needs: cool water invigorates and energizes, warm water sedates and relaxes. Gently massage your feet while immersed. Soak for 10 minutes. Pat dry.
CompressA compress is a clean, damp, folded cloth that has been infused with essential oils and then applied to the skin. It uses either warm or cool water, depending on its purpose. Fill a basin with water and add 2-5 drops of essential oil. Stir briskly, lay in the cloth, wring, and apply to area.
SaunaPut 1 drop or more of essential oil on the hot rocks in the sauna room or mix 5 drops of essential oil in one cup of water and pour over the rocks.
PerfumeA personal perfume is an alluring way to express yourself. Rose, Jasmine, Sandalwood, and Neroli are perfume favorites. Mix 10-20 drops of essential oil in 1 tablespoon of jojoba oil. Apply to one or more of the pulse points—behind the ears, underside of the wrist, inner elbow, behind the knees, and on the backs of the ankles.
MeditationAromatics have been used for thousands of years for meditation and spiritual focus. Oshadhi has several oils well suited for this purpose, such as Frankincense, Patchouli, Sandalwood, and Myrrh. Diffuse in the area or put a drop on a tissue and inhale the aroma prior to meditating
Add to CosmeticsEssential oils can be added to pre-made, fragrance-free products. Use 10-12 drops per 2 ounces of moisturizer; 20-30 drops per 8 ounces of lotion; 20 drops per 8 ounces of shampoo; and 20-30 drops per 8 ounces of conditioner.
MistingMisting is a convenient way to impart the enticing aroma of essential oils in the room or on your skin. Fill an 8-ounce mister bottle with water. Add 20-30 drops of essential oils. Shake vigorously each time before misting.
AnointingAnointing is an ancient, spiritual practice used to bless, show recognition, offer protection, and to support the subtle energetic body. Anointing literally means, "to touch with oil." Use 4 drops of essential oil mixed in 1 teaspoon of jojoba or olive oil. Touch with intention.

Before she became a global superstar, Lady Gaga had a few minor TV roles, but since she became famous, she hasn't really acted, unless you want to count playing herself on The Simpsons . But on Friday, all that changes, as she blasts onto movie screens in director Roberto Rodriguez' violent, bloody action movie Machete Kills.
The movie, which stars Mel Gibson , Charlie Sheen , Sofia Vergara , Michelle Rodriguez , Amber Heard and dozens more stars, is a sequel to the 2010 film Machete , and follows the continuing exploits of the title character, a former member of the Mexican Federal Police force, played by Danny Trejo . Gaga got involved because she enjoyed the original movie.
"I was a fan of Machete when it came out. It was the first time in a while that I had gone to the movie theater," she says. "I went out, and I bought some tequila, and put on my leather jacket, and I watched the film, and I laughed the whole time. I am a really big fan, and all of the stars aligned and I'm really happy to be [in this one]."
Comparing acting in the movie to singing for fans onstage, Gaga explains, "In a way, the preparation was exactly the same as what I do for my stage shows, except I have lines, and there's a character that's a little bit different from myself. But I applied what I do in my own work to my work with Robert."
Gaga's character is La Camaleon -- "The Chameleon" -- a ruthless assassin who's a master of disguise, and who is actually played by four different actors: Gaga, Antonio Banderas , Cuba Gooding Jr. and Walt Goggins . To create her own unique version of the character, Gaga says, she "had some very specific ideas about her outfit." She told Rodriguez that she felt La Camaleon should have a coat made out of a wolf skin, as well as "a machete tattoo, and tangerine hair." She adds, "He really liked my ideas, and I love his ideas, so together we created this little moment in the film, and it's very nice."
Cuba Gooding Jr., one of the other actors who plays The Chameleon, tells ABC News Radio that Gaga's performance reminded him of the kind of performance you might see from, say, a rapper-turned-actor.
"There was a time period where they only wanted to cast rappers for street kids because they were authentic, but there was something to be said about a guy who was on stage every night all year, performing for an audience, even though he had never acted in a film," explains Gooding. "He still knew how to get lost in his world, and that was Lady Gaga. You would've thought she had been doing this her whole life. She's wonderful in the movie."
By the way, make sure to stick around for the very end of Machete Kills for a hint about Gaga's future movie plans.

You'll Find It In Lubbock
If any of the visitors to the Texas Cotton Ginners' Association's Annual Meeting and Trade Show are looking for interesting restaurants or places to visit while in Lubbock, the choices are numerous. In fact, you might even be surprised at how diverse and entertaining the Hub City can be during the year.
How about a trip to a museum? Lubbock doesn't disappoint in this category. The most notable are:
• American Wind Power Center – This is the most comprehensive collection of historic windmills in the world.
• Buddy Holly Center – It pays homage to Lubbock's most famous native son, as well as other performing artists and musicians of West Texas.

There are plenty of popular nightspots in downtown Lubbock, and they can be found in the Depot Entertainment District. A collection of historical buildings along and near Buddy Holly Avenue, this area features live music, stage shows, sports and cigar bars as well as upbeat restaurants and shops.
How about the cowboy culture of the West? You'll see plenty of that in Lubbock. Ranching and cowboy culture roots run deep in the city. In fact, the city was named after Thomas S. Lubbock, a former Texas Ranger. A few ways for travelers to immerse themselves in this culture include:
• National Cowboy Symposium – Cowboy poets, musicians, storytellers, artists, chuckwagon cooks, cowboys and more celebrate the largest presentation in the United States of ranching and the western way of life every September.

Perhaps the most important focal point in the city is Texas Tech University. Founded in 1925, the university boasts a student population of more than 30,000 and is one of the largest universities in Texas. As such, it offers numerous opportunities for visitors. Here is a sampling of what you'll find on the campus:
• Lubbock Lake Landmark – This is the city's popular archaeological and natural history preserve.

No trip is complete without taking advantage of local shopping opportunities. In Lubbock, you won't be disappointed. In fact, the local residents say Lubbock can hang with the best when it comes to shopping. Some of the local favorites include:
• Antique Mall of Lubbock – Offers 150 showcases and 50 booths.
• Canyon West – Lubbock's newest, largest shopping/entertainment venue features premium retailers, including Target, Cost Plus World Market, Ross, Petsmart, Kirkland's, Main Event, Cracker Barrel, Ulta and more.

INDIANAPOLIS - Tony George has resigned from the Hulman and Company board of directors, the Indianapolis motor Speedway announced on Friday afternoon.
The resignation is effective immediately, according to a release from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
"Tony George has made the difficult decision to resign from the board because of his involvement with a group that has recently expressed an interest in purchasing the Hulman & Company-owned INDYCAR organization," said Jeff Belskus, Hulman & Company president and CEO in a statement released Friday.
- Bio | E-mail | Recent columns
"While the business is not for sale and no offers to sell it have been considered or are being considered, we applaud Tony's efforts to resolve the appearance of a conflict and appreciate the gravity of this decision."
In the same statement, George said: "I realize that my recent efforts to explore the possibility of acquiring INDYCAR represent the appearance of a conflict, and it is in everyone's best interest that I resign from the Hulman & Company board," George said. "It goes without saying that I want to do what is best for this organization."
The idea of George buying IndyCar began to surface earlier in the month. The Sports Business Journal first had the report that the founding CEO of IndyCar began to put a group of investors together to buy the series.
Since the report, the board has said that the series is not for sale.
George was the CEO of the series from 1994-2009 and was also president of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway from 1990-2009.

The process to make this casserole was easy. It looks exactly as pictured but it needs kicked up in the taste sector. In addition we served turkey sausage and fruit salad and a potato dish. I did not add all the sugar to the bread, I felt there should have been a savory flavor instead of sweet added.
Marmalade French Toast Casserole
japleve Posted: 01/07/10
NicoleBauer Posted: 03/04/09
I love this recipe! We are nut free so lost the nuts and like it with homemade low-sugar strawberry jam instead of marmalade. I add extra cinnamon & nutmeg. Have also made it with regular whole wheat bread for an any day breakfast when I don't have anything else on hand. Easy to make the night before for busy moms & never any leftovers with my houseful of boys!
CATODEBA Posted: 12/29/10
This casserole is so very good and you don't even need to serve it with syrup. It's also easy for those "new to the kitchen".
Coelle Posted: 10/01/09
This is an excellent recipe ...I've made it several times for special occasions. I did find out, though, that you shouldn't skimp on the marmalade...the full 12 ozs makes the difference.
greendivine Posted: 11/15/09
Turned out beautifully. No sogginess, not too sweet. Easy to make and prepare the night before a brunch. Always love recipes that don't keep me in the kitchen all day as a host. Great for groups. Will definitely make again.
Joannadelsur Posted: 12/16/08
Great for Christmas or Thanksgiving morning. Wonderful make-ahead dish!
TwilightMom Posted: 02/19/09
I made this for a Christmas brunch with my extended family. It was terrific. Very tasty, easy to make, and quite convenient for a brunch with a large number of people.
gigirig Posted: 04/14/09
I just made this for Easter brunch for 25 people. After reading several reviews, I opted to use sugar-free marmalade and made sure I used 2 day old bread and really soaked up the egg mixture. However, the french toast was still soggy and had no taste. I was SO bummed that I didn't test out this recipe before such a big event! I would not recommend this recipe.
rtallerico Posted: 02/12/11
This is a great recipe. I made it for a brunch with friends and they all raved about it. The only change I would make is instead of pouring the egg mixture over the bread ( I found that the top layer didn't soak up the egg mixture) I would dunk each piece of bread in the egg mixture before putting it in the pan and pour the extra on top.
SingingOwl Posted: 01/09/10
I'm surprised that several people had problems! I used cinnamon instead of nutmeg, pecans instead of walnuts, and Smuckers Low Sugar marmalade. It was delicious! Note that the recipe does NOT say to bake it covered. I'll make this again because I love the make-ahead aspect. Since it was plenty sweet, I might use a little less sugar next time because I like the idea of an orange flavored syrup.
MMowry Posted: 02/28/10
I have been making this recipe for several years and its definitely a family favorite! When I make the egg/milk mixture I usually only use 2 c of milk. I always flip the 'french toast sandwiches' as they're absorbing the liquid. For more firm french toast I've flipped them halfway through cooking but usually I just cook for a few extra minutes. I have tried other jams and one of my favorite combinations is cherry jam with chopped almonds on top. I also sometimes spread a thin layer of ff cream cheese or neufchatel on the other slice of bread -yum!
liz581 Posted: 01/01/10
I wasn't crazy about it (and I don't think the Christmas morning crowd was either). However, I will say that it was extremely easy, and it might have been better with something other than marmalade. I will try this again with low-sugar strawberry or cherry jam simply because it was so easy, and goes well with a make-ahead breakfast casserole buffet (I made this, southwestern breakfast casserole and hash brown casserole to feed 15 on Christmas morning, and the whole meal was very easy).
jms301 Posted: 11/19/09
Great recipe although I make it without the marmalade. That way everyone can add their own level of sweetness with pancake syrup. I'm making it this year for Thanksgiving morning!
princessbee Posted: 12/18/09
I made this today & I was not crazy about it. In the recipe's defense, I am doing WW so I used Splenda instead of sugar, FF milk, ICBINB instead of regular butter & sugar-free marmalade. I baked it at the recommended temp and time and it was too soggy and the top layer didn't get much mixture on it even though I tried to push it down. It just didn't work for me.
Algebra2tutor Posted: 12/17/09
This is so easy and so good! 15 minutes to put together. I make it lot for company, family and crowds. We like to use Mango jam instead of the marmalade. Sourdough bread is essential for this dish. Fresh fruit and bacon go well with this.
jgcookin Posted: 12/27/10
use Portuguese fresh rolls and Ikea's orange and elderberry marmalade. Used soy milk. Awesome, definite keeper!
MiniJ23 Posted: 02/15/10
We've made this twice & the whole family loves it. This is a sure winner at our house and is so easy to make. I followed recipe exact the first time and it was too sweet. Second time we switched to strawberry preserves and hardly any sugar and we LOVED it. (Any preserves would work great, it's personal preference) Bake uncovered to brown and crisp the edges of the bread, and make sure to spoon some of the egg mixture over the top layer.
EmilyAlice Posted: 07/03/10
I made this for a brunch where a diverse group of people attended. It was devoured in minutes! The only change I made to the recipe was to include apricot jam with the marmalade to cut the bitterness. Also, I only used 1/2 cup of the combined jams to reduce the sweetness. The result was delicious. Although it required a bit more baking time, It was puffy and golden out of the oven. I wouldn't hesitate to prepare this again.
pscarey51 Posted: 01/16/11
Liked the idea, but it wasn't particularly french toasty. It tasted good, but more like a bread pudding with the top part being very crusty and nothing custardy about it. I will stick with the soak slices overnight and grill/bake French Toast overnight recipes next time.
rhaya4shine Posted: 12/19/10
I love this recipe. It is what I make every year on Christmas morning. It is so convenient to be able to make it Christmas Eve and put it in the oven Christmas morning while we open presents. My husband's not a big fan of marmalade, so I usually use strawberry jam instead, but it is still delicious!
TJSimpson Posted: 02/23/11
This recipe was bland and too gooey. I added extra spice, let it sit overnight, and used apricot preserves instead because people didn't like orange. It was just so so. The top was the best part because it was crunchy. To improve I would make sure the bread is pretty stale, layer some nuts under the top layer, and add more spices.

I agree with the post that said that recipe was very bland. It was very easy to make but really was not very tasty. I think I will stick to the conventional french toast recipes.
CinSanDiego Posted: 12/14/11
I added a bit of cream cheese to the filling, just because I had some. Before baking I turned the little sandwiches over in the pan. I was afraid there would be too much custard, but it all cooked up nice and fluffy. The ladies all loved it!

After reading a few of the reviews, I made this but made some changes. I didn't really change the ingredients, just the way it's assembled and made. I had to use italian bread since I couldn't find a loaf of french bread. After slicing the bread I broke the slices into large chunks and put them in a bowl. I drizzled the bread with olive oil (instead of butter) and added orange marmalade. Mix well making sure bread is well coated. (I did this in batches of two until all bread had been mixed) Sprinkle bread with nutmeg and mix again. In seperate bowl mix milk, eggs, sugar and vanilla as stated. I used less sugar. Spray dish, spread bread evenly in dish, sprinkle with craisins, I also added some ground flaxseed. Pour milk/egg mixture over bread. Cover and refrig 8 hrs. Bake covered for 25 then uncover for remaining 20 mins. It is DELICIOUS!!!

Made this for Christmas breakfast and it was a big hit.
gmaskitchen Posted: 10/15/12
I make this often for company brunch, but tone down the sweetness. Use low sugar (not fake sugar) marmalade or jam, no sugar in the egg mixture, add cinnamon and some fresh ground pepper. For a more savory meal add layers of Prosciutto and Gruyere over the marmalade.
mrsseals Posted: 05/19/12
Good. A little sweet
kittylake Posted: 12/25/12
I make this every year for Christmas. I use challah bread from a local bakery; about 1 large loaf. I add 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the egg mixture. And I never use an entire 12 oz. of marmalade! 8 oz. is more like it. I add the nuts during the last 15 minutes because otherwise the nuts come close to burning. I don't know if this would be as good using bland french bread...I think the sweet challah is what makes this awesome.
MaryEliz Posted: 10/22/12
I have made this twice. Following others suggestions, I used low sugar raspberry jam as I have found similar recipes to be too sweet for my family's taste. I also cut the milk to 2 1/2 cups as it was a bit soggy the first time. The second time I made it with low sugar apricot jam as that was on hand and it was equally good.
KMM5985 Posted: 12/26/13
I couldn't find sourdough French bread so I used a Farmhouse style Sourdough. It was a little too moist but tasted fabulous. I did make the warm syrup with a bit of OJ added. I used pecans instead of walnuts. It was super easy and we really enjoyed it.

- Family dinner made perfect by S&V!OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 9/28/2014Family was visiting from out of state. Our last dinner was held at S&V. Excellent service. Bartender/waiter taught us about scotch and gave a history lesson on the copper mug that held my dad's fav cocktail! Food...oh yeah....amazing!!! Yes, I will continue to come back. Great job guys!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A favoriteMaryMcDined on 9/23/2014The menu has enough variety without overkill. I focused on the steaks but there are plenty of other options on the menu as well. I had the NY steak and it was done to perfection. My wife had a filet which was delicious but a slightly overdone medium. The pork belly appetizer was delicious, gumbo was smoky and dense and some of the best I've ever had. Cheesecake for dessert was another perfectly done treat. The scotch selection is amazing! Service was pleasant and well paced. The only two things I would do differently would be to not cucumber in the drinking water and get away from stacking the food. I've never understood stacked food, it has outlived its welcome. This is one of my favorite restaurants in the region.Special Features:
- nice decorslowhand98Dined on 9/20/2014I liked the looks of the place, the music (blues) that was playing was great, and the food was great! the service for drinks was a little slow, at first, but got better.Special Features:
- ProfoodieDined on 9/18/2014I was surprised to find this "gem" in Des Moines. The food and service were exceptional. We asked for a grilled cheese sandwich to go with the tomato soup and they made it special for us. Will definitely return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- LoveIlovehawaiiDined on 9/14/2014Love this place. Great fun menu. We love to take visitors here due to the fun menu. It's always a hit I want to scream though ... Please someone in management sit and look at round and DUST. Wow. So much dust around the booths sides and curtain areas. We love it there so this is a plea. We never had great service - so fun helpful and friendly - but wow what does it take to get a refill of coffee. We love it but the bad list is starting to out weigh the good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/13/2014Food is a bit on the heavy side - American fare. Staff friendly and attentive.
- nice work dinnerCUGRZDined on 9/9/2014hosted a client for dinner and had excellent service, really good variety of food and we all enjoyed our meal / experience @ Scotch&Vine, will come back and would highly recommend !Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- foodieauntiemDined on 8/31/2014This was our second time here and both times exceptional!! It was our friends 25th Anniversary and we got together to celebrate this special event. The other 2 couples, their first time at S&V. They were pleasantly surprised how lovely it was.Special Features:
- One of my favsranedropDined on 8/30/2014Scotch and Vine is fantastic. I have never had a bad meal there and have worked my way through all of the sandwiches and burgers, and most of the meat and pasta entrees. The servers are extremely friendly and willing to make recommendations to scotch aficionados and beginners. Good cocktails, impressive scotch and wine list. I recommend the N'awlins burger.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing ambience matches foodSiezethedayDined on 8/26/2014On a Tuesday night, had a great time there during Happy Hour. The calamari was light and perfectly cooked. My out of town guest was impressed. Generous portion of Happy Hour Fry Bites was excellent, and the Basil Lemondrop was superb. Don't miss the Gumbo!Special Features:
- YumCathiDined on 8/25/2014The food was delicious and menu had many choices. Decided on a steak which was tender and seasoned to perfection. The cheesecake was to die for. Can't wait to go back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- nothing specialnancyDined on 8/24/2014food excellent as always, but today service really lacking...and the sad part was they weren't seated to capacity.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Scotch ListorangefrappeDined on 8/22/2014They have an excellent Scotch list for having flights to try new and different Scotch's. The food was great as well. The asparagus appetizer was awesome and the pork chop were great. The chocolate mousse silk was to die for.Special Features:
- Great food, poor serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/16/2014So it was date night and we went to S & V, the wait staff was attentive at first and then seemed to forget about us, the executive did check on us, but, we had to ask for our water to be refilled, our food was delivered bydifferent person, we where informed that they were short staffed, after we asked. The food was good , no complate there. So I would go back but I am hopeful that they improve there service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- UNCOMFORTABLE BUT PROMISINGDODGEDined on 8/12/2014AT FIRST GLANCE THIS NARROW RESTAURANT/BAR WAS APPEALING. WE HAD RESERVATIONS EARLY ON A MIDWEEK EVENING. WE WERE SEATED AT A VERY HIGH TABLE NEAR THE BAR. THE HARDWOOD SEATS WERE BACKED BAR STOOLS. IMMEDIATELY UNCOMFORTABLE FOR US (SHORT OLDER WOMEN). THE RESTAURANT SOON FILLED TO CAPACITY AND SEEMED TO OVERWHELM THE SERVERS. OUR MEALS WERE UNEVEN UNFORTUNATELY. THE SEAFOOD PUTTENESCA WAS VERY SPICY; WE DIDN'T FINISH EATING THE MEAL. THERE WAS NOTHING IN THE MENU THAT WARNED US TO HAVE AN ASBESTOS PALATE. THE LAMB BURGER WAS DELICIOUS, BUT REALLY NEEDED TO BE SERVED WITH CONDIMENTS, INSTEAD OF A DRY BUN. THE SALAD THAT ACCOMPANIED THE BURGER WAS FABULOUS. WE FINISHED OUR MEAL WITH A CREAMY SATISFYING NY CHEESECAKE AND RICH COFFEE.Special Features:
- One of my favoritesZanaLuvsFoodDined on 7/30/2014The Scotch and Vine is a wonderful place to enjoy. The atmosphere is warm and the staff are friendly. They work hard to meet your expectations. As far as food goes, there is no where quite like it. Over time and with the different groups of friends I'very dined with, I think I've tasted just about everything on the food menu. My favorites include the Moscow muleto drink, fry bites w/aoli dipping sauce, mini f.o.g. salad, pork osso bucco, and vanilla ice cream w/homemade almond Roca (which was only available once so far). Their Mac and Cheese is quite good as well. Their Happy Hour has many of my favorite choices on the menu.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great hidden gem!!StephatcakeDined on 7/24/2014Absolutely delicious and a fun place to take out of townersSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great find not far from Sea-TacwillrunforfoodDined on 7/21/2014Great whiskey list! A couple hundred scotches and bourbons with over a hundred single malts. Food was fresh and fantastic! Cab ride was about $10 (plus tip) from the Sleep Inn at Sea-Tac so would be a little more from the airport area. A great place where you can spend as little or as much as you want. Great appetizer menu. Prime steaks. Knowledgeable staff! We were there on a Monday so it might be louder during the week but it was not loud on a Monday.Special Features:
- Not a good nightOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 7/15/2014This was our favorite place, raved about it to friends and finally took two couples and it was slow service good not up to par just not what we were used to . May not go back for a while
- nice placeearlyowlDined on 7/11/2014Found this on Groupon and with the discount it was worth it. Definitely order the pork (Osco busco) as my mom really enjoyed that. I ordered the new York steak, as their Rib eye (my favorite cut) can only be cooked to just medium/medium rare at the most because it is so big. Wish they sold a smaller size! The New York was okay... a little salty. If I go again.. I will try the pork chop. I could see this as a pretty cool place to go early on a Friday evening (5ish) for whiskey and appetizers for sure!!! Great feel in the pub style bar. It does fill up quick and it is not a large space ..... just be aware that as it does.... the wait service will take a bit. No biggie -just common sense and be patient.Special Features:
- Diamond in Des MoinesdwestDined on 7/7/2014What a find. A friend and fellow Scotch whisky fan referred me here, and I have never been disappointed. The atmosphere is low key and "pubby," with a sidewalk front wall that opens on warm days. They have a respectable wine list and the scotch selection is crazy (250 labels). The food is excellent and the presentation very well done. The staff is knowledgeable about the food, wine and scotch and the service is excellent. Wine and scotch flights are generous and let you sample lots of great drinks. Live jazz on some nights is a bonus.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The Vine is Fine!Blackirish1Dined on 7/1/2014Spent beautiful early evening at outside table where our Golden was spoiled rotten by the staff and we received the usual top notch food for which they are well noted! From Osso Bucco to Mac&Prawns to an Andouille burger...we always leave satisfied. And that does not even mention the breadth of liquor choices served by a bartender who is a pro...who really listensSpecial Features:
- MarshaDined on 6/30/2014We were there for an early dinner so it was very quiet. The bartender was also the waiter, but he did an amazing job. He recommended wines and beers and gave a taste before we decided. The food was fantastic....not your run of the mill food. The fingerling potatos are wonderful and nothing you would get elsewhere. The meat was cooked to perfection and the flavor was great. We had tiramisu for dessert and that finished the meal off perfectly. I would highly recommend it for an early evening dinner.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Diverse menupicklecartDined on 6/25/2014Dinner was nice, however they needed a bit more wait staff, and they forgot to wish a happy birthday, which was whole reason we were there. Overall good.Special Features:
- Puts the yum in diningTCandSGDined on 6/22/2014This was probably my fifth time there,again great food.Had the gnocchi and the great strawberry salad.Was wonderful.My friend had the smoked chicken on chocolate pasta with sage and butter..also was very unique and tasty.The only complaint..a stingy pour of wine.I doubt it was even 4 ounces for $11.00 of the Malbec .Maybe this will enspire them to hold that bottle over the glass a little longer😳😳Special Features:
- Special placelparentDined on 6/21/2014The service and food was excellent. The cost is a bit high for food and drink, but it has a extensive selection of drinks and really good food. Our group will go again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Jazztpt1Dined on 5/31/2014This was our second trip to Scotch and Vine, both precipitated by a Groupon. The food is consitently good, but we found the service to be a little off on this visit. Nothing terrible, just a forgotten salad that was quickly taken care of, and some very late arriving bread that was requested with a pasta dish. Prices seem reasonable until you start stacking up price of the salad with the entree and all else. We may well go back, but it will be with Groupon in hand.I would recommend this to a friend.
- excellent experienceoldWiseDonkeyDined on 5/30/2014After getting turned away a few weeks ago due to lack of a reservation (Really? In Des Moines?) we went back with a reservation in hand and had a thoroughly enjoyable time. Extensive wine list with a dining room wine "cellar" so you can find what strikes your fancy. We had the hummus appetizer with fresh potato chips which was excellent. For a Main dish I had the recommended Osso Bucco which didn't disappoint in portion or taste. Wife add the Pesto Prawns which had was tasty but could have used an addition prawn or 2 (dish included 4 prawns). Service was superior. Staff were pros and not what you would typically find in So. King Co. BTW found this place using a Groupon which was gladly accepted using the mobile app.Special Features:
- Eclectic food itemsOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 5/17/2014Enjoy our evening. Was bustling but service was still great, friendly and accomodating. Excellent choice of scotch's love the flights where I can try different regions with just a taste and not have to get a full glass. Food portions are right sized and delicious. My boyfriends sirloin was 2 inch's thick and melted in his mouth. My scallops were fresh and tendor. Love this place.Special Features:
- What a great surpriseBrianVIPDined on 5/15/2014Amazing bar and wine list, great food, really cool atmosphere. Totally surprised me for Des Moines. They have something like 300 single-malt scotches on hand. And check out the Thursday $10 wine tasting flight--a great deal.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- mothers day coupon?AverJoePatron1Dined on 5/11/2014Awesome food, reasonable prices. Getting our bill took a very long time with only a few other patrons present. The bill had to be re ran several times due to a mothers day discount (for moms) that was mentioned on Open Table when booking the reservation. The bill was never discounted correctly and the establishment was not aware of the offer. In fact they seemed very put-out by our mention of the special.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Dining Experience!Dining4FunDined on 5/10/2014We had never been to the Scotch & Vine so thought we'd give it a try with some friends who had been there awhile ago. We were amazed at the quality and presentation of our dinners. My husband had steak and I had the pork chop. Both were excellent. Our server was outstanding making the entire dining experience very pleasant. We will recommend the Scotch & Vine to all our friends and will be sure to visit again and again!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DeliciousAnneVIPDined on 5/3/2014Once again, we enjoyed a delicious dinner at Scotch & Vine. The calamari appetizer was delicious. The Caesar salad was fabulous - very light dressing and the burger that my husband had was amazing. We can't wait to return again.Special Features:

Leland officials decided to let nature, and town ordinances, take their course when dealing with heavy rain drainage.
Town staff received a complaint from Marty Nowak, of 113 Woodland Drive, that a drainage problem on the street collects rainwater in ditches along the road and sends it into his yard, flooding his garage.
"The water comes from Village Road right to (my) yard," Nowak said when he addressed the Leland town board at its Aug. 21 meeting.
Dosher Memorial Hospital trustees announced plans Thursday, Aug. 28, to offer early retirement options and reduce staff to deal with financial issues.
Trustees had a special meeting Wednesday, Aug. 27, to consider addressing the hospital's continued financial shortfall. Hospital employees were informed of the board's decision Wednesday afternoon and Thursday morning.
Judging from last week's decision by the N.C. House of Representatives, it appears North Carolina is going to have a difficult time bringing industry to the state when so many other Southern states are more willing to spread around incentive money to close the deal.
But that's North Carolina's problem. Brunswick County has options.
You may recall that a year or so ago there was a bit of an uproar about the federal government breaking Brunswick County away from the Wilmington Metropolitan Statistical Area.
The observation deck at Riverwalk Park at Belville on N.C. 133 has been closed for six months, but Belville officials anticipate repairs will be complete before the end of September.
Brunswick County officials voted in January to turn over Brunswick River Park to the town of Belville, at the town's request, as part of the town's Riverwalk site proposal.
Town administrator Athina Williams said the town performed a site inspection after taking over the park and found the deck was unsafe.
SUPPLY — People are less likely now to stumble across historic sites here than they were in the not-so-distant past, partly because they are documented better and partly because some have disappeared from record.
The Historic Wilmington Foundation is working to prevent the latter from happening through its annual Most Threatened Historic Places List, which covers Brunswick County as well as neighboring New Hanover and Pender counties.

No one knows exactly what day it happened, but during the summer of 2011, a custom-built wooden bench magically appeared at The Kindred Spirit Mailbox on Bird Island. It just showed up one day — with no explanation, and no one seeking credit.
On the surface, Venus flytrap poaching may seem like a victimless crime. The valuable vegetation adapts to being held in captivity as a houseplant, after all. But the reason lawmakers pushed this year to make stealing the plants from their native land — which includes Brunswick County — a felony is because our heritage is the true victim of this crime.

The homes of the Mid-Atlantic's waterfront communities epitomize coastal style. Whether on the beach in Ocean City or a creek on the Eastern Shore, the look is casual and calming, creating a style that makes its owners feel like every day is a vacation.
Gina Fitzsimmons, owner of Fitzsimmons Design Associates and the Annapolis-based home furnishings store Details of Design, specializes in coastal homes. She calls this look "Chesapeake Cozy."
"I find that people in this region gravitate to a more comfortable, functional, tailored interior with a more eclectic look and natural materials," she says. "People like open floor plans — it's a more casual way of life."
Natural beauty
According to Fitzsimmons, the place where people go wrong is when they try to create a coastal look with too many framed prints of lighthouses or mirrored portholes. She recommends steering away from the kitsch and keeping things real by focusing on materials made by Mother Nature. In a recent showhouse, Fitzsimmons created an accent wall of oyster shells, an idea she came up with while eating some on the half shell in Rehoboth Beach, Del..
"A lot of tiles and backsplashes now feature small pebbles," she adds. "How wrong can you go with something that's drawn right out of nature?"
That is a sentiment echoed by architect Jim Rill, principal of Rill Architects in Bethesda, who says the selection of materials is important in helping a coastal home withstand the elements. In the past, coastal homes were covered with coat after coat of paint. Now he is using more stained woods on home exteriors or green materials such as Hardiplank siding that embrace today's trend toward eco-friendly living while also providing durability.
"You want to use materials that are low-maintenance, high-trafficking and sand- and water-resistant," he says. The same is true for home interiors. While the outside might need to withstand hurricane winds, waterfront houses also need to stand up to big gatherings of family and friends. Rill favors stamped concrete floors and wood paneling on walls.
"We use little to no drywall because it doesn't stand up well to moisture and sand, to people walking inside with wet towels and boogie boards. People are on vacation — they want to be able to spill some wine and not worry about it."
While most wallpaper is considered too formal for a coastal home, grasscloth wallpapers are trendy now and are another way to bring a look inspired by nature into the home's interior. These papers bring texture to a room and can be helpful when trying to cover wall imperfections.
Play with color
Perhaps the most notable trend in coastal living is the use of color. Pops of coral, green or yellow now liven up the traditional blue-and-white scheme.
"I love to use blue because it creates that relationship with the water that just makes sense," says Kelley Proxmire, owner of Kelley Interior Design in Bethesda. "But now I'm pairing different shades of blue with color. For example, in a home on the Eastern Shore, I'm using orange. Orange is a hot color these days, and it makes the room less predictable."
Even the blues themselves are getting more vibrant. The soft seaglass shades that are perennially popular are giving way to brighter turquoise and emerald. If committing to color is a little intimidating, update those cool blues with geometric-patterned throw pillows in hot colors, but think polka dots and stripes: Florals are passe.
Mix it up
The carefree lifestyle engendered by proximity to the water translates into an unfussy interior. To achieve the coastal casual look, leave the matching suites of glossy, dark wood furniture in the city. The beach style is more eclectic and relaxed, as epitomized by weathered or whitewashed wood furniture.
"Pay attention to mixing up finishes and styles, and that extends to the outdoors, too, whether it be a patio or porch," says Proxmire. She says its not uncommon now to see a dining room table surrounded by eight different chairs or furniture of different materials — teak, iron — in combination.
