Letters to the Editor (Oct. 23)
Arnold W. Oliver, Wichita Falls
Constitutional clarification
Obviously the writer put considerable thought into his letter of Oct. 20. But I must challenge him on some of his constitutional claims.
Jefferson did author the Declaration of Independence, but his contribution to the Constitution was somewhat less. He did not sign the Constitution and in a letter written on June 19, 1802, to a Dr. Joseph Priestly he said "One passage in the paper you enclosed me must be corrected. It is the following, 'And all say it was yourself more than any other individual that planned and established it,' i.e. the Constitution. I was in Europe when the Constitution was planned and never saw it till after it was established." William J. Federer, in his book, "America's God and Country" states;
"Thomas Jefferson did not sign the Constitution of 1787. Nor was he present when the First Amendment and religious freedom were debated in the first session of Congress in 1789, as he was out of the country in France as a U.S. Minister. Due to his not being present to hear all the comments of the Founding Fathers regarding the First Amendment, Thomas Jefferson had to rely on second hand information to learn what had transpired in that first session of Congress. This rendered his letter to the Danbury Baptists (which was written 13 years after the First Amendment) ineligible to be considered a "first hand" reflection of the intent of the constitutional delegates."
Beginning with the Danbury letter and to the present day there have been no greater champions of separation of church and state than Baptists, particularly Southern Baptists.
We wholeheartedly agree with Mathew 22:21 and the Baptist Faith and Message states "Church and state should be separate — a free church in a free state is the Christian ideal ..." This is not wording to establish a theocracy. The First Amendment states simply "Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;" It says nothing about freedom from religion.
Doug Hardin, Wichita Falls
Seminar teaches safety
Recently my wife and I attended the Crime-Free Lifestyles class offered by the WFPD and conducted by Officer Brian Bohn. This free course, conducted over three nights, taught us how to better protect our home and vehicles and is only one of many excellent crime-free programs offered by the WFPD. We now know how to "harden" our home and how to make it less attractive to criminals. We now understand how to safeguard our vehicles and possessions. We also learned about the various active gangs in our community. We then learned how to protect ourselves from identity theft and other types of financial crimes. We even viewed a videotaped interview of Wichita Falls' "Queen of Identity Theft" who is now incarcerated. This video is used by the U.S. Secret Service in their training program.
Last spring my wife and I also attended WFPD's free Citizens Police Academy headed up by Officers Jeff Hughes and Brandie Young. We were taught what the different departments within the WFPD do and participated in many very interesting activities, including driving a police car through an obstacle course, firing automatic weapons, and going on patrol with an officer.
The Mayor and City Council should do everything in their power to fund, support and promote these programs. They and WFPD superiors. should be very proud of Officers Bohn, Hughes, and Young and the many other members of the WFPD who have dedicated their time to educating the general public.
You, the public, need to attend these programs so you too can do your part to help your community become safer. Get involved in your Neighborhood Watch program. What? You don't have one in your neighborhood? Then start one. Don't know how? Call Officer Bohn today or email him at email@example.com.

Is there any better way to bring in your weekend than some new [emuze]Chad Hugo[/emuze] and [emuze]Little Dragon[/emuze]? We think not.
Though he's had a quieter year than his other half, [emuze]Pharrell[/emuze], Chad Hugo is still a boss on the boards. When we linked up with him at SXSW this year (photograph above), he told us about a couple things he's involved in right now and they are major. But we promised to keep our lips sealed..*tosses zipper*.
On this remix of "Killing Me," off Little Dragon's latest album, Nabuma Rubberband, Chad flexes his producerial muscles to give it a little more punch and low end than the original. This is one of those instances where we the remix might've just edged out the original for us, but we'll let you decide:
Get your BBC on.

All the latest on the world's youngest royals
Wednesday April 13, 2011
As a global star herself, Emma Watson knows a thing or two about living life in the public eye.
But the Harry Potter actress says it must pale in comparison to Kate Middleton, who is under a worldwide spotlight ahead of her April 29 wedding to Prince William.
"Poor girl," Emma told the Associated Press.
"That must be an incredible amount of pressure. I hope she's enjoying it. Must be intense."
Meanwhile, the princess-to-be has admitted to having last minutes jitters about her upcoming nuptials.
When asked by a local reporter if she was nervous, she said: "Yes, of course I am."

Some seem to think so .....interesting article.
Remember that these assets are going to Oando Energy Resources(OER), the Company's relatively new 94% owned subsidiary listed in Canada? In the event of this transaction, those investors bringing in the $650Million will be owning 65% of the equity in OER. That company itself will be saddled with a debt of $800Million. Oando's own shares in OER will be so diluted it'd become like just any other investor in Oando Energy Resources, having a small stake.
From the proceeds (sale of roughly 25,000Barrels of Oil Per Day and 112Million standard cubic feet of gas as well as part payments for power generated from Okpai), OER will pay cash call on the projects as well as service the debt with roughly $150Million per year for the next seven years.

All Undergraduate and Postgraduate taught students are allocated a Personal Tutor from within their Department or Faculty. Postgraduate Research students will have a research supervisor.
"Here at King's all taught students must have a
personal tutor, someone who gets to know them as an individual and supports
them academically as they progress. Personal tutoring is the cornerstone of our
support for students" Professor Karen
O'Brien, Vice-Principal (Education)
A personal tutor is an academic member of staff who will take an active
interest in a student's academic progress and university experience, and
is concerned for a student's general welfare.
All students will also be able to contact a Senior Tutor in their department or the university Senior Tutor. To explore how these academic members of staff will support you, please browse these sections to your left.
Within the first few weeks of starting at King's you should meet with your Personal Tutor. At this initial meeting they will tell you about the role of the personal tutor and give you information about how you can make contact with him or her if you need to.
Our advice is to get to know your personal tutor; the system works best for you if you maintain good communications with him or her.
Your personal tutor should be the first person at the university that you speak to if you are having any personal difficulties that are affecting your work. These could be academic, financial, health-related or another type of problem.
Your personal tutor will listen and try to help you although you'll need to remember that, your personal tutor is not super human and may not always be able to solve your problem. If he or she can't help you directly they will know who to refer you to.
Remember whatever the nature of your problem, please do discuss it with someone, your personal tutor or otherwise. The earlier that any issue is identified the more likely it is that it can be resolved.
You can talk to your personal tutor about your learning needs and he or she can offer advice or recommend that you enrol on a study skills course. Your main support for academic issues relating to specific modules will be the lecturer who is teaching that module.
Your tutor will be the person who, if the university is asked, will write a reference for you.

Schiro Named MAAC Offensive Player of the Year
Nov. 3, 2011
BALTIMORE, Md. - Junior forward Nichole Schiro was named Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Offensive Player of the Year, highlighting seven Loyola University Maryland women's soccer players who were honored at the annual MAAC Awards Banquet held on Thursday night in Baltimore, Md.
Schiro became the third player in Greyhound history to earn the honor, joining Ali Adrezejewski as the only players to win the award in back-to-back years after being named Co-Offensive Player of the Year in 2010. She finished third in the MAAC in scoring during the regular-season, scoring 11 goals and dishing out four assists to total 26 points, the seventh most in a single season in Greyhound history.
The Okemos, Mich., native led the league in conference games with nine goals, scoring four in the final weekend to help qualify the Greyhounds for the 2011 Chick-fil-A MAAC Championship and earning her second MAAC Offensive Player of the Week honor of the season.
Schiro notched the first Loyola hat-trick since 2005 in the first-half of a, 6-1, win over Manhattan, breaking the school career goal-scoring record in the process. She added an overtime goal in the 97th-minute of a, 1-0, win over Saint Peter's in the final game of the season that qualified Loyola for the MAAC tournament.
Schiro was joined by junior defender Kelsey Rene on the All-MAAC First Team. Rene anchored the Loyola defense from her center-back position, helping the team finish second in the conference in MAAC games in goals allowed with a 1.00 per game average.
The Greyhounds landed three on the All-MAAC Second Team, including sophomore defender Jenny Thornton, junior midfielder Gigi Mangione and sophomore goalkeeper Didi Haracic.
Thornton helped solidify the Greyhound defense, moving to outside back at the beginning of this season and becoming an important part of the back line that allowed only nine goals in conference play.
Mangione earned her first MAAC honor, being named to the second team after finishing third on Loyola with nine points, tallying two goals and five assists.
In her first season as the starting goalkeeper, Haracic was named to the second team after finishing fourth in the MAAC with 93 saves. She is just the sixth goalkeeper in Loyola history to eclipse the 90-save mark in a single season.
Loyola also had a pair of freshman honored, as midfielder Amanda Reverberi and defender Kelly Santangelo were each named to the All-MAAC Rookie Team. Santangelo stepped in this season and became an important part of the Greyhound defense, playing both the central and outside back rolls. Reverberi overcame an early season injury and has played key minutes for Loyola in the central midfield. The Massapequa, N.Y., native finished with three assists in 12 games played.
Schiro and Mangione were also among five Greyhounds named to the MAAC All-Academic Team. Sophomore defender Taylor Bryant, junior defender Kelsey Donohue and sophomore forward Katelyn McFadden also earned the honor by having grade-point average above a 3.2 on a 4.0 scale.
The Greyhounds battle No. 2 seed Niagara in a MAAC semifinal contest on Friday night at 7 p.m. at Ridley Athletic Complex.

Does that drink really contain Thallium? Or is it a clever ruse to keep potential drink thieves away.
Maybe Thallium isn't your poison and would prefer Arsenic, Lead, Mercury, Cadmium or Beryllium. Or the whole set.

We are currently in the middle of creating our verse- to check the stories out, go to this address!
If anyone wants to request any type of story and if I happen to know the fandom enough, I'd be willing to write it as long as it's not M rated!
My story Update Meter:
Musketeers- Of Little Brothers- pretty much whenever I have time. (Have slowly had to trach myself French because google translate doesn't conjugate. Yay.)
(Anything not listed here that is a story on my account is remaining a oneshot or is complete.)
Complete Summaries of my Full Stories: (not Oneshots):
A Good Man- Sherlock- This is pretty much an insight as to what Sally Donovan thinks of Sherlock as a person, and how that perspective changes. She was in an abusive relationship with her boyfriend (Joshua) and he raised a hand to her, so she broke it off. At a crime scene one night, he attacks her unprovoked, and Sherlock comes to her defense. The second chapter is my interpretation of Sherlock's upbringing and the reason for his sociopathic tendencies. NOT SALLYxSHERLOCK.
A Learning Experience- Teen Wolf- A collection of oneshots in no chronological order revolving around Isaac and the McCalls. Derek occasionally makes an appearance and the gang is usually hovering around in the chapter at some point. Suggestions are appreciated! No slash (but I can do slash if it's a suggestion!)
Revenge Is Cruel- Three Musketeers 2011- AU. D'Artagnan kills a man sent to assassinate King Louis, unaware that the man (Zagris) had a partner (Charles Marmanium AKA Black Death). Unknowingly setting off a chain of events, D'Artagnan endangers the lives of Athos, Porthos and Aramis after his younger sister, Marci, comes to Paris to warn D'Artagnan of the demise of their family. Setting off on a dangerous endeavor to save the rest of his relatives, D'Artagnan battles time, the elements, and his emotions when he realizes that his parents and younger brothers Aubin and Ceron are nowhere to be found. Complete. No slash.
(Side note: Wrote this in 2012, have no IDEA how Charles Marmanuim ended so close to Charles Magnussen from Sherlock. But. Well.)
When Things Go Awry- The Hobbit- Slight AU. Can anyone believe Bilbo managed to stay on that barrel in DoS? No? Neither could I. A depiction of what may have happened had Bilbo not been able to hold on and had taken a small trip through the rapids. With an injured Burglar, how will the Company hope to invade Erebor? Complete! No slash!

"I can't do this, Sam."
"I know. It's all wrong. By rights we shouldn't even be here. But we are. It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger, they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you- that meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn't. They kept going. Because they were holding on to something."
"What are we holding onto, Sam?"
"That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo… and it's worth fighting for."

'Three Cups of Tea' co-author Relin dies at 49
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — David Oliver Relin, the co-author of the best-selling book "Three Cups of Tea," died in Oregon, authorities said. He was 49.
Relin committed suicide in the Portland-area town of Corbett on Nov. 14, deputy Multnomah County medical examiner Peter Bellant said late Sunday night.
He said Relin died of blunt force head injury, but declined to provide any other details.
Relin was co-author with Greg Mortenson of "Three Cups of Tea," which recounts how Mortenson started building schools in Pakistan and Afghanistan.
The book came under scrutiny last year when "60 Minutes" and Jon Krakauer alleged that it contained numerous fabrications.
In April, U.S. District Judge Sam Haddon rejected a lawsuit by four people who bought the book, dismissing claims that the two authors, the publisher, and a charity conspired to make Mortenson into a false hero to sell books and raise money for the charity. Haddon called the claims overly broad, flimsy and speculative.
Mortenson had denied any wrongdoing, though he has acknowledged some of the events in "Three Cups of Tea" were compressed over different periods of time. The New York Times reported that Relin did not speak publicly about the charges.
The book describes how Mortenson lost his way after a failed mountaineering expedition and was nursed back to health in a Pakistani village. Based on the villagers' kindness and the poverty he saw, he resolved to build a school for them.
"Three Cups of Tea," which has sold about 4 million copies since being published in 2006, was conceived as a way to raise money for and tell the story of Mortenson's Central Asia Institute, which he co-founded in 1996 to build schools in Central Asia.

HDMI issues on a PS3 Slim to Sony Bravia
Master Geek
23-Dec-2012 09:57
Ok here is my issue, I have 2 PS3 slims one is in our main lounge connected to a Sony Bravia and the other one is in my sons room connected to a 22" Samsung (1080x1920 HD) both working fine. Now a couple of days ago we have purchased another Sony Bravia (750 series) and thought we would shift the PS3 slim from my sons room to the new TV. In connecting the PS3 via HDMI the new TV is having a problem which is you see the image (XMB) for a spit second then the screen goes back for 3-4 seconds then you see the image again for a split second and then goes to blank screen again this keeps cycling. First reaction is faulty TV so I get the other PS3 slim and hook up to new TV and it is working fine, puzzled took the faulting PS3 to the other Sony Bravia and it is doing the same "pulsing" thing...but if I then take it to my sons room (using the same HDMI cable) it works fine on the Samsung and our Panasonic HD TV upstairsWhat I have tried:- resetting PS3 (on standby press power button until 2nd beep)- Gone through the setup menu on the good PS3 and have set the faulty PS3 to the exactly the same settings This is a weird one and has got be beat......any idea's anyone?? Cheers Mike
Master Geek
24-Dec-2012 17:19
Any idea's anyone, seems very odd. "faulty PS3" works fine on Samsung HD TV and Panasonic HD TV via HDMI BUT does not work on both Sony Bravia TV's. My other PS3 slim works fine on ALL TV's (not HDMI cable and "settings" on both PS3's are identical)
What I have tried:
- resetting video (hold down power button while in standby until 2nd beep did not fix)
- Tried other HDMI inputs on both Sony TV 's...no cigar
- Tried "good" Ps3 Slim on all TV 's working fine
- Tried "faulty" PS3 Slim on ALL TV's working 100% on Panasonic and Samsung but on the two Sony Bravia's doing the image for 1sec blank screen for 3-4sec then back to pic for 1sec cycle repeats
- Rang Sony Playstation support no cigar
As I am in the electronic service industry my thoughts are either the "hand shake" signal OR the "video signal coming from the PS3 Slim is slightly too low causing this effect on the 2 Sony Bravia's so in other words the low signal is not liked where are the Samsung and Panasonic may be still JUST within their specks hense working ok?????
feedback anyone.......someone with HDMI technical experance?

A new threat has emerged for contract workers digging up communication pits owned by Telstra, with the pits found to possibly contain the deadly banned pesticide dieldrin.
The Communications Workers Union in Victoria has raised concerns workers could have been exposed to dieldrin that Telstra sprayed on its cables to stop termites.
The dieldrin link was flagged after recent reports about the disturbance of asbestos in the pits caused widespread concern about the rollout of the National Broadband Network (NBN).

The Drosophila homolog of the mammalian imprint regulator, CTCF, maintains the maternal genomic imprint in Drosophila melanogaster

CTCF is a versatile zinc finger DNA-binding protein that functions as a highly conserved epigenetic transcriptional regulator. CTCF is known to act as a chromosomal insulator, bind promoter regions, and facilitate long-range chromatin interactions. In mammals, CTCF is active in the regulatory regions of some genes that exhibit genomic imprinting, acting as insulator on only one parental allele to facilitate parent-specific expression. In Drosophila, CTCF acts as a chromatin insulator and is thought to be actively involved in the global organization of the genome.
To determine whether CTCF regulates imprinting in Drosophila, we generated CTCF mutant alleles and assayed gene expression from the imprinted Dp(1;f)LJ9 mini-X chromosome in the presence of reduced CTCF expression. We observed disruption of the maternal imprint when CTCF levels were reduced, but no effect was observed on the paternal imprint. The effect was restricted to maintenance of the imprint and was specific for the Dp(1;f)LJ9 mini-X chromosome.
CTCF in Drosophila functions in maintaining parent-specific expression from an imprinted domain as it does in mammals. We propose that Drosophila CTCF maintains an insulator boundary on the maternal X chromosome, shielding genes from the imprint-induced silencing that occurs on the paternally inherited X chromosome.

Amsterdam is a top contender in Europe's beauty pageant, it's right up there with Venice and Paris. But Amsterdam will never win it. It's too busy in funky and mellow bars, and 'exploring' life. Amsterdam has always been like this, ever since the Golden Age, when it led European art and trade. Centuries later, in the 1960s, it again led the pack – this time in the principles of tolerance, with broad-minded views on drugs and same sex relationships taking centre stage. Wander the 17th-century streets, tour the iconic canals, stop off to enjoy a masterpiece, discover a funky shop and taste cuisines from all over the world.
Amsterdam abounds in food choices. Happy streets for hunting include Utrechtsestraat, Spuistraat and any of the little streets lining and connecting the west canals such as Berenstraat.
A great place to sample Dutch pancakes in an atmosphere free of clogs and other kitsch – and there are just as many locals here as tourists.
Open since the 1940s, the venerable Van Dobben has white-tiled-walls and white-coated counter men who specialise in snappy banter. Trad Dutch fare is the speciality: try the pekelvlees (something close to corned beef) and the best kroketten (croquettes) and pea soup in town.
An old-school vegie eatery, De Bolhoed has been dishing up generous helpings of Italian, Mexican and Middle Eastern dishes to Amsterdammers for decades. Enjoy the tables among plants by the canal.
Run by students for students (ID gets you one-third off), this friendly, fun cafe-bar is a nice place to get some tasty Mediterranean fare. Bands occasionally perform at night.
One of the most respected Indonesian restaurants in the city, this tiny place is also more formal than most. It's the place to go if you've never enjoyed a rijsttafel (rice table).
On a busy crossroad between the Amstel and the Red Light District, this cafe dates back to 1895 and looks it: carved wooden goat's head, stained-glass lamps, sand on the floor. During fine weather the tables spill across the street for picture-perfect canal views.
This gritty bruin café (brown cafe) has been luring drinkers for more than 300 years. Journalists, bums, socialites and raconteurs toss back brews amidst the ancient wood panelling. Most months the energetic crowd spews from the dark interior and onto the Spui.
An oasis in the otherwise grim tourist ghetto south of the station. There are seats outside on the quiet street and a good selection of beers inside.
Amsterdam's biggest, glitziest club has managed to keep the bass pumping since the '80s; it got a recent major tech revamp. Long lines get longer when a big-name DJ mixes.
Set in a skinny canal house, the Odeon has been a creative party spot for decades. Glam but accessible, its club nights cater to a veteran crowd.
One night it's Balkan beats; another, it's a 10-piece soul band – the Sugar Factory has all kinds of live entertainment. Equally important, the vibe is always welcoming and creative. It's an excellent midsize space, with a smoking lounge upstairs.
Our guide was great, and really knew the best places to hang out.

DO NOT STAY HERE. The staff were the absolute worst and room smelt. Checking out was terrible. I told them and emailed them saying when we had to leave to catch a train (7:30, we understood early). No one there in the morning. Called the number: they yelled at me in Italian and hung up on me. They sent us a weird text to go to another building. When we get there they had already rang up my credit card hours earlier without my permission from the deposit. We missed our train to say the least.

- 355 Tynebridge Ln. [HAR]
Paul Revere didn't ride past this pedigreed residential slice of New England in Memorial's Greenbay Forest, but it sure looks like he could have. The classic Cape Cod home (top) is a much more recent vintage than 18th c., however. It's a 1978 design by the go-to group for such work, Boston-based Royal Barry Wills Associates. With its simple, broad-faced elevation and snow-deterring roof, many features are true to form, right down to the "keeping room" off the kitchen (above). Earlier this week, the home landed on the shores of the MLS. It has an asking price of $3.5 million.
LOOKING FOR THE METAL STUDS IN HOUSTON "I got nothing against wood," writes a reader who says he worked in his uncle's construction business for 12 summers while he was in school. "I really like the smell of fresh cut wood." Still, he's hoping Swamplot readers will be able to refer him to both architects and residential builders who are familiar with metal-frame construction — to help him build a new home for himself in the Memorial Villages area. He says he's convinced metal-frame construction will last longer in Houston because of its inhospitality to termite dining and perhaps a lower risk of going up in flames.

Don't ever say sluggers don't need their creature comforts: This 16,000-sq.-ft., 5-bedroom, 9-bathroom mansion at 405 Timberwilde was home to former Houston Astro and 1994 NL MVP Jeff Bagwell, who retired with 449 homers after 15 seasons. Oh, and his mansion? It's for sale for $15 million.
Beneath all the pine trees of this Spring Oaks property there's a redwood-sided garage big enough for a RV, or so says the listing. Although the single-story 1955 home has been updated a few times, most of the remodeling appears to be a decade — or two — old. Still, the $790,000 metal-roofed home comes with nearly a half-acre of land, a pool, some patios, plus that extra-large, multi-purpose car barn.
Yeah, we know what's been on your mind this afternoon and evening: Just where is that house from this week's Neighborhood Guessing Game?
You guessed: Friendswood, Meyerland, and Old Braeswood. We had 2 for Tealwood, 2 votes for Memorial close to Voss, 2 for the Memorial Villages closer to Beltway 8 than Voss, 2 for River Oaks, 2 for Hunter's Creek Village, and 3 for Tanglewood. Also: Gessner and Memorial, south of Memorial between Beltway 8 and Kirkwood, Bunker Hill, close-in Memorial, the Westcott area between Memorial and Washington, Memorial between Chimney Rock and Blalock, one of the Memorial Villages, Piney Point Village, and Indian Creek.
That's a lot of Memorial! Thank you, Jeff, for simply framing the question:
This HAS to be Memorial Villages. But which one?
The win goes to K, who knows her Villages . . . and maybe a little somethin' about Houston in the seventies:
Definitely Memorial Villages. You can tell by the heavily wooded lot and the size of the home for the year it was built (1970s). This was someone's swank, possibly key-party-ish pad back in the booming 70s when all the richies were building their huge new homes in the Villages. I say Piney Point. It's too modern for Bunker Hill, and has too many trees for Hilshire Village or Spring Valley, but this looks exactly like something you'd run across in Piney Point.
Three more of you who got the geography right — but missed the neighborhood name — get honorable mentions: sarahc, tcpIV, and Joni Webb.
Special honors go to David W, for leading off the guessing confidently in exactly the wrong direction:
Go 70's – love all the angles. This house looks like it was expensively built but hasn't been updated to much except maybe the glass block in the master bath – vintage Sub-Zero, big rooms, and nice courtyard out back. Clearly mature vegetation outside – I'm thinking Friendswood.
Yes, David W knew this house — and wrote to us about it. Did he throw you off?
After the jump: the big reveal!
This weekend: Hunters Creek Village, up and down Voss. Big lots! Big prices! And the new construction is bigger too! Here's a tour of what you'll find open if you visit this Sunday:
Location: 7623 River Point Dr.
Details: 3 bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths; 2,035 sq. ft.
Price: $999,000
The Scoop: Multi-bay Midcentury Modern classic in Riverbend, designed in 1955 by Preston Bolton and Howard Barnstone, altered in the late '90s. Courtyard entry, vaulted ceilings. Extensive enclosed back porch overlooks Buffalo Bayou. Houston Mod's "Mod of the Month" (along with the Tanglewood home on Huckleberry Ln. by Arne Engberg described here). On the market for 3 weeks.
Open House: Sunday, 2-5 pm

Robert Boyd ends his series of bicycle tours through the Memorial Villages with a ride through the west end of Spring Valley, and concludes:
Perhaps this is a good way to characterize the Memorial Villages. They will tolerate eccentricity, but only a very small amount of it.
These are wealthy folks, and I bet many of them consider themselves to be individualists. Let your freak flags fly! You live in the Villages–you've made it. So do something wild and unique with your house and yard that proclaims your uniqueness.
After the jump, a few more photo gems from Boyd's Spring Valley travelogue.
Robert Boyd rides north of I-10 and snoops around more Spring Valley homes in his latest bike tour. Highlights: The Voss mess, a cool carport, and the recent retail-Modern pad pictured above.

What makes Hilshire Village and Spring Valley different from the rest of the Memorial Villages?
Both these Villages are north of I-10, which for Memorialites is sort of the wrong side of the tracks. Indeed, if you look at the household income of 77055 in the year 2000, the zip code that encompasses Hilshire Village and Spring Valley, it is $36.7 thousand. The average household income in 77024, which consists mainly of the southern Villages, is $82.6 thousand. The two northern Villages, however, are probably far closer to the Southern Villages in terms of wealth. It's simply that as you go north and east from Spring Valley and Hilshire Village, you enter more working class neighborhoods, with lots of Hispanic and Korean immigrants. They may not be rich, but they are strivers, and the area North of I-10 on the Westside is, I think, getting wealthier and more middle class.
Robert Boyd returns from his latest bicycle tour — through Memorial's northern outposts — with photos of his finds: wobbly Metro bike racks, shed-roof seventies Modern Memorial classics, ivy art, creekside barbecue, Tae Kwon Do parking-lot attendants, low-calorie McMansions, plus a couple of misplaced Victorians and a faux Adobe.

Biz-school student, blogger, and former comic-book publisher Robert W. Boyd takes web visitors on a bicyclist's-eye-view tour through the rolling meadows of east Hunters Creek Village, reporting on real-estate values and encounters with wildlife — and peppering his travelogue with advice to neighborhood homeowners on naked sunbathing and monumental sculpture.
. . . the instant you leave Hunter's Creek going east, there are apartments. I suspect Hunter's Creek is zoned to exclude them, but they are bunched right along the boundary of the Village (despite the fact that the area along Memorial between Hunter's Creek and the Loop is some of the richest real estate in the city–I guess it still makes sense to have apartments there).

Remember that fancy 27-story condo tower planned for Voss between San Felipe and Woodway? The one that was "for seniors only" and featured three floors of assisted living? Where you could buy a spacious 950-square-foot unit for just a tad under $500K?
Well, neither did we.
But if you were too busy pursuing an active lifestyle to notice that the sales center had shut down and the website disappeared, today's Houston Business Journal makes the official announcement: The Sterling at Memorial Villages is dead, for lack of interest.
The project site holds a shuttered retail facility where a Chipotle formerly operated. The western-most part of the site, which is not owned by [Sterling developer] Sunrise Senior Living, is being marketed for sale by McDade Smith Gould Johnston Mason + Co. The eastern portion of the property — where the condo was to be built — is now being marketed by Wheless Properties.
The public company will see what offers it gets for the land, but [Sunrise Senior Living rep Jamison] Gosselin says it also is considering developing a rental property at the site.
Not mentioned in the article: Links to The Sterling of The Woodlands on the company website no longer work either.
