01232019 Atlanta Market Hits: A Sure-Fire Primer for Las Vegas Market, Part 1
Carol Tisch & Jessica Harlan
RugNews.com scours 20-plus leading area rug showrooms at the just-closed winter Atlanta International Area Rug Market to uncover the show's top sellers -- consider this your head-start insider's buying guide to Las Vegas Market.
Reimagined traditional designs continued to gain traction, as did more structured looks and geometrics designs. And, w
hile blues and grays still dominate the category, touches of warm hues, including burnt orange, yellow, and soft beige, permeated the many offerings seen in the showrooms -- including Pantone's Color of the Year, Living Coral.
In this two-part market tour, we visit top area exhibitors to find the most talked-about collections whether in fashion, weave, value or performance. Most of the companies included below will showcase these not to be missed winners - and more new designs -- at next week's Las Vegas Market.
In Part 1, we cover rug makers Amer Rugs through Kas. Make sure not to miss
Part 2
, where we cover Loloi through Trans-Ocean by Liora Manne.
Amer's Dazzle (shown, DAZ-95 in graphite), crafted of handspun New Zealand wool and silk, impressed Atlanta shoppers.
Dazzle by Amer Rugs was a hit with Atlanta market-goers. Crafted of raw handspun New Zealand wool and raw handspun silk, the collection features both traditional, semi-erased patterns as well as more transitional options like repeating medallions, geometric designs, and a beautiful pattern inspired by the Shibori techniques that are traditional to Asian artisan cultures.
Among Capel's latest tufted rugs from Genevieve Gorder, Brass Belly, shown in storm (2590), featured a classic scalloped design.
Plenty was new in the Capel showroom, but the latest designs from the Genevieve Gorder program were front and center at the entrance to the showroom. The rugs, made of space-dyed tufted wool, are adapted from patterns in Gorder's Tempaper wallcoverings collection and feature geometric motifs. "They're more modern than what we typically do, but that's who her audience is -- they're young and hip," said Cameron Capel, president-sales and marketing and imports.
Classic Home's Solana 3009010 reworks global motifs with a modern feminine twist.
Lifestyle brand Classic Home continues to roll out fresh area rug designs. Debuting in Atlanta is the Solano assortment of area rugs made of
natural jute. Handwoven into a geometric pattern, the rug is available in three easy to pair colorways with dyed cotton fringe.
Creative Touch grows its successful Boshporus collection with a new neutral geometric design,
The company's popular Bosphorus line has been expanded and now comprises around 60 options. "Every customer who has come in has picked something from Bosphorus," said Chelsea Novakoski, key account and brand specialist. Within the new offerings are rugs with a cut pile design over a flat weave background, in 100 percent wool or wool combined with bamboo silk. Patterns include geometric designs in soft neutral colors.
Customers on the prowl for geometric designs found no shortage at French Accents, which showcased a new
Modern Flat-Weave design,
M357, a draw for its prominent use of Pantone's Living Coral.
Geometric designs were sought after in Atlanta, and French Accents had plenty of fashion-driven looks for shoppers to choose from. Samples from a geometric all-over Retro Mishan design (ML119) made of wool and Modern Flat-Weave collection design M357, crafted of Merino wool, were popular with buyers in Atlanta. Both designs will soon be available in standard and custom sizes.
HRI's new Theory collection, which pairs a knot pile with pull-down loop, was an instant hit with market shoppers.
In the Harounian showroom, Greg Jordt, executive vice president-sales and marketing, said that the Theory collection is his company's big hit this market. "We banked on the success of [existing line] Dorset, this one's a step up." Some rugs are hand-knotted of wool with viscose highlights, while a few are 100 percent wool. Texture is achieved with a knot pile and pull-down loop, and the designs include abstract patterns rendered in neutral colors.
Jaipur Living's Rebecca in/out collection, featuring kilim-inspired motifs, was a hit for pushing the outdoor design envelop with its high-low details.
Among the many new additions to Jaipur's indoor/outdoor selection, the Rebecca collection stood out for its kilim-inspired diamond lattice pattern. Shag details over a woven ground give this rug - and many others in Jaipur Living's performance-fiber offerings - textural interest and a versatile appeal that rival designer indoor carpets, but can be used throughout the home as well as in outdoor spaces.
Jauty introduced its new Dublin collection of hand-tufted performance rugs.
Jaunty debuted its latest high-performance collection called Dublin to Atlanta market shoppers. Made of 100 percent polyester and hand-tufted, the collection includes neutral solids, abstracts, and traditional motifs used in a more contemporary way.
Kalaty's Capri collection features borderless Oushak designs in a blend of wool and Silkette. Shown, CR-930
Show shoppers gravitated to designs combining neutral tones with pops of fashion color at the Kalaty showroom, which featured plenty of area rugs that updated classic motifs. A market hit during the show was from the luxurious hand-knotted Capri collection. Design CR-930 features a borderless vintage-styled Oushak pattern woven in a Turkish-style knot using a combination of premium wool and Silkette.
Kaleen scores with the boho designs of Sunice, one of three new collections added to its range of indoor-outdoor rugs.
"We're very bullish on outdoor," said Kaleen's VP Blake Dennard. "We had a lot of intros in 2018 and three right off the bat here in Atlanta." Prices of the new collections ranged from $99 for the polypropylene Sunice and Amalie collections, both made in Egypt, to $249 for the polyester Santana, which is power-loomed in India of polyester.
Buyers gave a thumbs-up to all collections, but Sunice, with 11 cheery boho and globally inspired looks, won over market attendees with its combination of value pricing and unique designs.
Kas reworks classic designs in saturated colors with distressed look in its new Morris collection. Shown, 2224
The Morris collection from Kas combines jute with polyester chenille. It has the feel of a handwoven flatweave, but the pattern is printed onto the finished rug. The designs are traditional in style, with bright, saturated colors and a distressed look. A 5x8 retails for $200.

January, 2012:
As a rookie college graduate I was eager to begin teaching myself the trade of building. I dug to my roots and remembered a man I trapped gophers for. Bob. He had mentioned that he dreamed of having an all glass green house. At the time (1998) he had purchased 80 (60 – 28x68 and 20 – 20x83) panes of tempered glass from the classifieds. In August of 2011, I looked him up. He had just received a bid to do a polycarbonate roof with pressure treated framing. I flinched at the demise of a dream and the ruins of such potential. I asked if he was interested in all glass? He said yes but wanted to see plans and know how I was planning on doing a glass roof. I asked him for a week to do research.
I came to him with drawings and a list of materials needed. He asked if knew what I was doing. I honestly replied, "no." But assured him I would find a way and he wouldn't regret it. After a pause of wonder, he said sure.
The space had already been excavated. He wanted cedar, opening windows, power and water. The rest was an open pallet for me to play with. I used the glass as tangrams to create the whole space. Using All but one piece of glass I designed and engineered the structure.
For me, it was not about production building. It was a rare opportunity to do something unique. I have always admired glass for its clarity, strength, and versatility. In school, a teacher told me that you there was nothing you could not do with glass. That stuck with me through out the project. When obstacles arose, I had done enough research and developed resources to overcome them. When finished, I asked if he was happy. His response was simple, yes. And it was great.
Since then I have stopped by to check up on the building and Bob. He gets excited to show me what he has done up there. He claims that when the sun comes out, with in 30 minutes it is 90 degrees in there (this is February in Oregon). I have come to learn that this makes an avid gardener very happy. He has his entire garden started from seeds including grafting his own tomato plants.
It is great to see it functioning in the way that he wanted. However what I enjoy more are the text I get from him hearing that he and his wife are sitting in the glass house, over looking the valley watching the lightning and listening to thunder and the ambiance of rain falling on glass. It is perched up on a hill that over looks the Willamette Valley, and on a clear day the Three Sisters of the Cascades are gleaming.

As we look fresh at 2011 following a year in record foreclosures, interest rates unseen in years and a tax credit that helped spur many to purchase homes, we turn our sights on some of the likely trends in this year's market. Many of the predictions we are seeing for 2011 are cautious assumptions that the market may change slightly. For the most part, experts are predicting that changes will be slow and subtle and that there will be no huge surprises in the year ahead.
- Smaller homes make a comeback: The average size of a new home decreased for the first time in decades from 2008 to 2009, and analysts believe that trend will continue into 2011. A shift has begun toward urban cores, smaller homes and away from large suburban communities according to FrontDoor.com. Behavior is changing as we start to think differently about the extent of our disposable incomes and necessary savings as many found themselves unprepared for the recession. New buyers will have to be more conservative with their mortgages and will need to pay a higher percentage for a down payment, which means they'll need a home with a smaller price. As a result, we'll see builders continue to trim the size of their homes and look for new ways to make square footage work harder.
- Rental properties: People are choosing to rent with the intent of living in their houses longer once they do buy. The census shows the average person moves about 11 times, but some predict that number will slowly decrease. "Thankfully, the idea of a home as a short-term moneymaker is essentially gone, so when people do buy, they'll do it with the intention of staying put for closer to 10 years rather than two to three," says Jim Chittaro, president of Smykal Homes. This means people will be studying floor plans more closely, to ensure the home will grow with them. Chittaro says "floor plans that can adapt to lifestyle changes with flexible features like second family rooms should do well in 2011."
- Healthy homes: When you consider a study by the National Institutes of Health that found the number of people with allergies is as much as five times higher than 30 years ago, the trend toward building homes with a healthier environment will also gain ground in 2011. Indoor air quality, low VOC paints and adhesives, and all-around healthier materials are becoming more and more of a concern for people building homes – especially for those with children. This trend is effecting existing homes, too. Due to the economy, many people have decided to stay put in their existing home and invest in changes to make it look better and live healthier. Construction companies are pricing more jobs that include installing HVAC systems with better filtration, using low-VOC materials and replacing old doors and windows to safeguard against exterior pollutants.

Stones and Labyrinths
The problem with the study of ancient images and symbols is rather complicated. Labyrinths are widely spread on the Solovetsky archipelago. The majority of researchers consider labyrinths to be the most ancient of symbols. Analogies can be found on all continents, except Antarctica.
According to some calculations a common number of foreign stone labyrinths usually does not exceed 70-80. Some of their locations and numbers are: approximately 12 in Sweden, 4 in Norway, 50 in Finland and 3 - in England. There has also been mention of labyrinths in Denmark and Iceland. Besides there are labyrinths in Kirghizia (pictures on rocks), in Greece (images on ancient coins), in Turkey (on frescos of monasteries), in South America (Naska Desert, gigantic images). The list can be continued. One thing is obvious; these symbols were extremely popular in antiquity.
The designation of labyrinths is not clear yet, dating is disputed, but no one denies the generality of Solovki stone labyrinths with other images of the same sign known in the world. The sacred sense of labyrinths lies in the depth of human history. Legends and references about labyrinths speak about the use of these strange symbols in the earliest rites and rituals.
The labyrinth in Russia is more widely spread in the White Sea region and in Dagestan. White Sea labyrinths which appeared in the scientific lexicon under the name "Lapland (kola) labyrinth" in 1877 are popular in Russia today. The expression northern labyrinths has become widely accepted.
Northern labyrinths are images of spirals, made of small boulder stones on the surface of the ground. Sizes of the labyrinths are different: from 0.9 m to 25.4 ? in diameter, not more than 50 cm high. Dagestan labyrinths, often were used as ornament in architecture of Dagestan and appeared in the scientific lexicon only lately.
The most remarkable among the northern labyrinths are the Solovki Labyrinths. They are the largest in the world. Consisting of 35 known labyrinths, with more than a thousand stone piles and often with symbolic boulder constructions. The Solovki group of Labyrinths is scattered all over the archipelago on a territory of more than 320 km². A substantial number are concentrated on the Big Zayatsky Island, located on the south-west of archipelago. The area of this island is only 1.5 km². The majority of boulder constructions of the Solovki archipelago, 13 labyrinths, more than 850 boulder mounds and tens of other not so identifiable constructions are located in a concentrated area of the Big Zayatsky Island. Usualyy labyrinths are spread more often on islands than on the continent.
Furthermore, the forms of labyrinths (according to classification), can be different. There are 8 types of labyrinths. The most simple are common spirals. Most likely, the form of labyrinth passed its development stages. First it was a circle, after that - spiral-shaped labyrinths and the latest were complex (classical) labyrinths.
Up to this day the chief problem in the study of the of solovki antiquities, are: when, by who and why? The question "who" was briefly answered above. Two remaining questions require more explanation.

A global financial regulator won't work, is perhaps an easy thing to say. Union finance minister P. Chidambaram repeated this received wisdom to reporters on Friday.
Are there alternatives to a global financial regulator? The problem is devilishly hard to come to grips with. National regulation of financial markets in a globalized world has not worked. A crisis in one country can, and often does, spread quickly to other countries. There are external factors that national regulators can't contain.
At the same time, a global regulator will run into problems of the kind that unhinged Soviet central planning. It is almost impossible for a single entity to regulate millions of decentralized economic agents.
The point is to recognize these extremes and then arrive at a solution that makes it meaningful to talk of global coordination.
Chidambaram should know better. There is no point muttering about global standards when India is years behind implementing even widely implemented global regulatory standards.

Cropton PM Chapel, Yorkshire
Cropton is a village situated 3 miles from Middleton and 6 miles from Kirbymoorside in North Yorkshire.
North Yorkshire Record Office, Northallerton holds the following records:
Ref. QSB 1852 3/12: Midsummer Quarter Sessions, year 1852: To include a certificate for the registration of Primitive Methodists Chapels in Cropton and Thornton.
There were 2 Wesleyan Chapels built in Cropton, North Yorkshire, also the Zion Primitive Methodist Chapel and it is the latter that is still used today, but I am not sure whether it is for worship or another purpose.
Thornton is a popular first word for two or more place-names. However, there is a Thornton near Cropton, i.e., Thornton le Dale?
The Methodist Church Statistical Return dated 1 July 1940, published in 1941 has the following information.
Cropton (Zion) was in the Pickering (West) Circuit with other ex-primitive Chapels. It is identified as a stone structure seating 80. At Thornton le Dale (Pickering Road) there is a brick built ex-Primitive Chapel seating 241 with a school hall and four other rooms.
The 1964 Statistical Returns show in the Pickering Circuit that there was still two Methodist chapels in Cropton and two in Thornton le Dale.
By the time of the 1973 Statistical Return Cropton (Zion) is still open and seats 56. This return records the chapel opened in 1867. By that time the ex-Primitive chapel in Thornton le Dale had been closed.
In June 2018 when the photos were taken, the Chapel had been closed for about two years and was purchased by the neighbour next door. The building has been converted into a garage.
There seems to be some discrepancy between the date on the Chapel plaque (1852) and the Statistical Returns of 1973 (1867)

7aside Squad
Let's go back to one very wet December morning in 2016 and, yes, we were at it again. No not that! (filthy mind!). No, we'd been kindly invited by our friends at North East Athletic to take part in their Christmas In Recovery Cup, taking place at a very wet Durham University Sports campus. It was pouring down so we were soaking wet even before the sweat started pouring. Did we mention it was wet?
As is always the case, here at Men Tell Towers we operate a fluid and dynamic squad rotation policy. I don't expect any of you non-football efficieandos to understand the complexities of the policy but, sufficed to say, if people can't play, won't play, drop out at the last minute or ignore our begging emails, then we scramble around looking for replacement to make up the numbers. That said, we had assembled the largest squad ever! It can only be a good thing!
As the squad started to descend on the campus, the team was coming together nicely.
The banter was flowing as usual, which is only helped by one of the team turning up in these bad boys! If only life came with an Instagram filter ;-)
There were no over-sized headphones to accompany them, but have you ever seen a footballer wearing something like this and not been world-class? What do you mean 'Yes' ???
Luminous footwear aside, we were ready to drink milk and kick-ass...and we were all out of milk.
I'll be honest, it took a little while to kick-ass. Hartlepool FC were training on one of the pitches we were supposed to be using and chaos seemed to be raining (see, not just wet) on the others, so we had to spend the 'warm-up' time trying to avoid the rain. Did we mention it was raining?
These kind of tournaments can be incredibly difficult to organise, with so many people to coordinate and so many teams to juggle, that it wasn't unusual for things to kick-off late. In this case, quite literally.
Eventually, we were ready. Which was more than could be said for the referees. There was a distinct lack of refs, qualified or otherwise, which meant teams were taking turns in timekeeping and / or divvy out the all important 'fair play' points. What could possibly go wrong / right?
In a crazy move, straight out of the Tinker Man's rulebook, our Captain Fantastic Richard (he told me to say that) went in goal. An injury meant his defence splitting passes and mazy runs had to be someone else's job for a while, but with a huge squad, we were confident it wouldn't harm our progress.
And so it came to be. One game down. One goalless, but entertaining, draw. One clean sheet kept. A solid foundation on which to build!
Not content with having a Cesc Fabregas doppelgänger on the team in the shape of James, Richard could clearly smell the opportunity to make the most of our solid footballing skills.
'Miraculously' the injury that kept him from playing out, suddenly healed (other theories are available) and we had to appoint an award-winning goalkeeper.....luckily we had one!
Yep....it was Gary Time! (which is like Hammer or Chico Time, but with less dance moves).
We followed our first goaless draw up with a fantastic 4-0 then a 2-0 win. Now I'm not saying that we didn't concede anything because I was in goal, I'll let history be the judge of that!
Either way, the goals were flying in and the team was playing pretty damn well, thanks to a heady mixture of my management, Peter's fluorescent boots and Richard's captaincy....although we all know how much a Captain influences a team ;-)
As lunchtime came around, we had to have a change of personnel. Childcare and work commitments meant our large squad became slightly less large for the run in. We lost Gavin and James, but we saluted them off into the sunset (which we could barely see as it was probably still raining....although honestly, I don't remember).
Now here's where things take a slightly controversial turn. It wouldn't be us if there wasn't some kind of turmoil would it!
Whilst we were off having a well-earned spot of lunch, unbeknownst to us, the second half of the days' football was already kicking off. It's worth noting that there wasn't a timetable for the day, so while we only spent about 25 minutes having a rest and trying to understand why Gareth would bring Fig Rolls, by the time we got back we found out that we'd missed our next game. "That's f**king outrageous" I hear you say. I know right!
The consequence of that was that we'd been 'demoted' into the lower half of the draw. After the first round of games, those with the best point score across the numerous mini-leagues were put into the 'top half' of the draw for the next 'round'. They go on to play for the main trophy, whilst those in the lower half go on to play for a different one. It's a common format with these tournaments as it gives everyone something to play for throughout the day. It didn't go down well, but what can you do! Turns out, nothing.
Was it a blessing in disguise? Who can say, all I know is that we turned on the style and came out of our bit of the tournament with a huge win. I can't remember how many we scored...I lost count at about 6. Victory was ours! We'd won our first trophy! Hurrah!
Well, kind of. We jointly won the Fair Play trophy at the last tournament, but we've not seen head nor tail of that since! This was our first trophy that we could actually touch and take fancy photo's of with our fancy new iPhone 7+.
The ultimate winners on the day were the team from Leeds (apologies I forgot their name) but they played really well. I mean obviously if we'd have been in their group, we'd have beat them about 23 - 0, but that's the great thing about hindsight. You get to make it up and no-one can prove you wrong. Well done lads.
Ultimately, despite the problems with organisation and Men Tell getting 'demoted' it was a great day. The rain eventually wore off so we could sail home and everyone looked like they had a bloody good day.
We managed to accrue some more silverware (well bronze at least) for the trophy cabinet and even got a medal! We also helped spread the word of Men Tell to our friends in County Durham. Thanks to David McCormack and the team from Durham University Sport for organising the day. It can be a thankless task, but we appreciate all your efforts. Bring on the next one!
Finally, I'd just like to say a HUGE THANK YOU (look it's in capitals and everything) to the guys who gave up their time to play for us; some for the first time, others for much more than the first time. I really appreciate you taking the time to play so a heartfelt 'Gary Time' thank you to Richard, Callum, Gavin, Peter, Liam, James (the one who looks like Cesc Fabregas), James (the one who doesn't) and Gareth. We literally probably couldn't do it without you, so thank you!
See you on the 10th May!
If you fancy being part of Team Men Tell and wear one of our fancy strips when we come to your area, just let us know. No footballing skill required, but the ability to engage in some friendly banter is a must!

Hi guys,
We have encountered Gifford Pinchot several times throughout this class -- through readings and today's lecture. Here is a short video that quickly summarizes his life/political career and talks about the environmental-labor movement that he spearheaded.

Cuomo Pushing New Law Regarding Seat Belts
I mean, I love this. I hate this. I suppose it all depends on how often it will actually impact you.
Governor Andrew Cuomo is pushing a new law that would require you to wear a seatbelt while in the back seat of a car. Now for me personally I get it. The seatbelt could certainly save you. According to AAA, you are three times more likely to die in an accident without a safety belt on and eight times more likely to be injured, according to WIVB.com.
Now for me, I'm not affected. I always wear a seatbelt. Whether I am in the front seat or the back seat, it doesn't matter. I suppose it is just a natural function by this point in my life. When you get into a car to go somewhere you just put the belt over your shoulder and into its latch.
How do you feel about this proposed law?

Another awesome night of outreach tonight! We saw several healings, prophetic words, and lots of people genuinely touched by the love of God at the bingo hall next to the Frontline South campus! What was really amazing was we had around 15 people who gave up a couple hours of their Monday night to simply love on and serve people. Our team consisted of various ages and backgrounds. The team was made up of people from Frontline south campus, Frontline downtown campus, as well as Antioch Church in Norman and Norman Community Church . I love when the church comes together for the common cause of the gospel!
Our mission was simply to love and serve people in a practical way by offering them a bottle of water and cup of coffee and praying for their physical and spiritual needs. Once again, more prayer was accepted than coffee or water.
We have some great healing testimonies and videos, which I will post in the next several days. Join us next Monday night to love God, love people, and push back darkness.

Perhaps one of the best notions of building LEED is the idea of the team. Ideally the full team would be on board to 'design' the entire house. From floor plan to structural framing to exact wall assembly. In custom home construction this rarely happens. In custom home construction it is almost always the architect who designs the house to near final design, then the structural engineer is brought on board to engineer the house and then the house goes to bid and the general contractor and sub-contractors get to add their opinions which will be heeded or not. This is standard operating procedure and if you have a thoughtful, experienced and flexible architect it can work out fine. If you don't then a lot of changes – to the drawings and overall concept or plan of the house may need to take place. This is especially true of green building and even more true of designing a home to be LEED certified.
Why don't clients hire the contractor to be on the team from day one? Well some clients do and recognize the value of this (but it is rare). Most clients worry about money. They worry that they will get duped or ripped off in what some see as shadowy world of contracting. Say they choose a contractor from the beginning. If that contractor is not honest then the final bid might come in a lot higher than it would have if he knew he had to bid against other contractors. So there is always the fear in some clients that they could be saving 30 or 100 thousand dollars if they had bid the job instead of hired a certain contractor form the get go. And that really can and does happen so their fear are not without warrant.
I know that the two contractors we are considering are both extremely honest and straight forward. There contracts are quite 'see through' and the costs of their jobs are always very reasonable. They are not the lowest cost guys but they are far from the highest. They give solid reliable bids that are pretty much true to cost. But still, there is always that unknown. Even the way some contractor's subs bid can make a difference of tens of thousands of dollars. And this is an honest difference. One guy might simply use a cheaper sub or have a slightly smaller fee for general management or get supplies from a less expensive supplier. This is normal and can make a huge difference in costs to the client. This is especially true in our area: Fairfield County CT. We have towns like Greenwich, New Canaan, Darien and Westport bordering small, poorer cities like Bridgeport or Norwalk or Danbury. All of these places are easily within driving distance for both supplies and labor. OR a contractor could simply go to one of the next counties- barely further away and drop his price by 10-20% or even more.
There is also the contractor factor itself. There are what I call pick-up truck contractors and there are what I call 'Escalade' contractors. In our county both are absolutely normal. The guys in pick-up trucks get their hands dirty, often don't give the client much in the way of paper work and sometimes don't speak English that well. These guys will usually get the job done pretty well but there will be a 'suspension of disbelief' required by the client at some points during the job- meaning the client is going to simply have to look the other way and have faith- it will get done. And it will. It will all be fine in the end but the client might get really nervous. The 'Escalade' contractor on the other hand has nicely manicured hands. He has all of the paperwork you could ever want ready at exactly the right moment. His crew is always on time in the morning and he often brings the client coffee to boot. These guys are good but their prices can easily be double the pick-up truck guys price! Why? Because they have so many layers of management that they have to pay for. And this guy has a life style to maintain. He probably goes to the same parties and is on the same library board as the clients he is working for. He lives down the street and his kids go to the same schools. We work with the full range of contractor but our most common contractor is the 'Toyota Camry' or the 'Toyota Prius' contractor. He is somewhere in between pick-up truck and Escalade. Either super green or just willing to learn.
The contractors that often know and do LEED are usually the Prius sort. They are truly well intentioned, smart guys who are doing the green thing for a reason. There prices are honest and accurate. There know-how is tried and true and there motivations are very sincere. If we are designing a truly green home- these are the guys we call. And unfortunately there are not a LOT of them.
We- as architects – want to work in a team for the green or LEED home. A team means all parties involved are putting their ideas and know how into the mix. This just makes the job happen more efficiently in both planning and construction, and makes a better finished product.
For example, I know a lot about designing super energy efficient wall assemblies but I always work with the contractor to finalize and refine the exact way we are going to build. A lot of architects don't work this way and a lot of contractors don't work this way. On many jobs there is simply the hand off from the architect to the contractor- a passing of drawings and the two never speak again. This to me is a shame. To me that is a huge loss of opportunity to refine the product and save the client a buck along the way.
Plus many architects don't know anything about building green – just as many contractors don't know anything about building green. There is often an education taking place on the job site. If a knowledgeable architect draws a ton of energy efficient details and the contractor doesn't understand them and so does not build them- then they are worthless. If the architect does not know any energy efficient details and the contractor does and tries to incorporate them after the drawings are done this can result in huge wastes of time and money for the client during construction.
In the end I think green building is really just quality building . Everything about LEED is just ensuring the client has a very well built, long lasting home. Some contractor do not build for quality- they build to make a buck. Some contractors don't know any better and just build the way they were taught. This is all similarly true of architects. Some architects just build for beauty. Some architects don't know any better and just design the way they were taught. Both need to evolve. Both will be required to evolve as building codes evolve to meet what is currently LEED standards.
Just one last note about LEED on this subject. It is not critical and some may deem minor. But to me it is important. When one looks at the LEED web site and searches houses that are certified LEED it lists the house, the location, the owner, the LEED provider and the CONTRACTOR. No where is the architect listed. For me- the architect who is very often training the contractor on site as we go how to build an energy efficient house-is imperative to building a custom home in an energy efficient, LEED way. The fact that architects are not listed is infuriating! I do all of the work- often the hard way- by cajoling and yelling and getting exasperated and spending way too much time and loosing way too much money teaching the contractor (and the client) how to do it right and that guy gets all the credit! I know the same can be true reverse. Contractor getting annoyed by the 'dumb architect' and trying to teach them a thing or two. But really the USGBC should be able to acknowledge either or both,
The more energy efficient the house will be, the more team work is required. I love this. The contractors I know who build green love this. We prefer to all be on the job from day one. If the whole team is on the same page and working toward the same goal, we all get a better product and not only do we all get a better product - we all get peace of mind as well as a joyful, interesting and stimulating work environment. A happy team, Architect, Contractor, Client.

I've been tweeting a lot recently, and keep running into limitations of 140 characters. I'm going to use this space primarily as overflow for those ideas and thoughts.
@jacobrothstein "New blog post: …"— Mike Perham (@mperham) February 2, 2016
I've been intimidated by long-form posting for quite a while now, so this is a tentative experiment. It's way easier for me to spray a deluge of words into a chat room than it is to craft an essay. Please bear with me as I develop my writing voice for technical subjects. Feedback and critique are not only welcome, but requested.
A brief colophon: It was remarkably easy to set this up with hugo and AWS (s3, cloudfront, and an amazon cert). I'm not going to go into details, but it's a pleasant experience to go from "I should have a blog" to seeing content on the web in an hour or so.

Quotes from Danny Summerhill:
"I felt really good today. I've had a great time racing at the Tour of Taiwan. My team did a great job racing as a unit and clearly it paid off with a victory, which is always the plan."
Quote from Director Hendrik Redant:
"Today was going to be a decisive day. The plan was to have Lachlan Norris and Danny in the front at the start of the last climb. The finish was very technical which suited Danny. Lachlan did a great job controlling the Colombian rider who won the first stage and Danny finished it off as champion."
About Danny Summerhill:
Age: 28
Nationality: American
Pro Since 2013
Height: 6'1 / Weight: 155lbs
Other interests: Bmx track riding
Interesting fact: If not racing bikes, Summerhill would like to do something in the business, broadcast and TV announcing.

My literal words as I dug into my bright magenta pitaya bowl at Tout Suite earlier this week:
"This is the happiest thing I've ever eaten."
After a 3.5 mile run, I was craving this delicious blended dragonfruit, berries and homemade granola.
Nutritious and delicious.
Also, can we talk about how BEAUTIFUL that natural magenta is? This picture does not do it justice. Because let's be real, after I snapped this picture it was go time on the eating.

Standard Proofreading or Comprehensive Editing?
The standard proofreading is actually for those who english language is their mother tongue and need to have their document spell check correctly and errors free in terms of grammar, punctuation & verb tense.
Whereas, Comprehensive Editing and Rewording service it is for those who english is their second language. Hence the name "Comprehensive" so it is basically its about paraphrasing, rewriting and rewording without changing your theme and what you are trying to say. Fine-tune vocabulary and word-choice, strengthen academic writing style to improve statements and arguments. At Law Thesis Proofreading we check your thesis / dissertation for both style and content.
However, without a legal background and academic experience which you can only gain through writing and researching, a proofreader will not be able to carryout those skills of Editing and Rewording unless they have taught law subjects.
Every thesis and essay you submit to us will be proofread by chief editor and by another law professor, a second 'set of eyes', to ensure correct academic protocols are observed for quoting and citing sources, to maintain readability and to ensure internal consistency in both the main text and the footnotes.
Your document will be checked several times to ensure that the writing flows, that word choice is appropriate, and that your arguments and statements are coherent.

The Feel-Good Guide to Sports, Travel, Shopping & Entertainment
Celebrating Our
20th Anniversary
Party Ideas
Roasted Retirement
roasts can be as simple (and funny!) or sophisticated as you like. Of course, it only works among close friends and colleagues who have worked together for years -- and who know the guest of honor well enough to dish out a good ribbing!
following ideas serve only as a jumping-off point, and can
be incorporated either into a casual get-together or a full
blown Hollywood production.
suggestions may take some advance planning, while others can
be off-the-cuff affairs, depending how comfortable guests
are with the format.
main objective: extending invitations to good friends who
you know can give the guest of honor a good-natured retirement roast:
First, prepare a regal throne. A wheelchair, rocking chair, along with an old shawl to place gently on the 'frail'
shoulders of the guest of honor.
Have each guest to suggest a post-retirement activity, like
"Learn how to properly program that new digital camera, microwave,
DVR, etc."
Get a picture of the retiree and have it blown up and mounted
as a life-size cut out. Play a game of Pin-The-Tie On... or Pin
the Corsage On... (You might want to have a camera ready for this
Surprise them with a "This is Your Life" Party.
Depending on how well you know the guest of honor (and how much they will laugh) be inspired by some of the following famous quotes that are just right for a retirement roast:
"He has no enemies, but is intensely disliked by his friends." - Oscar Wilde
"There but for the grace of God, goes God." - Winston Churchill
"He had delusions of adequacy." - Walter Kerr
"I've had a perfectly wonderful evening, but... This wasn't it!" - Groucho Marx
If the retirement roast takes place in the office or conference room,, have someone skilled in PowerPoint
create a forecast of what the retiree's life will be like post-retirement.
Use pie charts with percentages of what the guest of honor will
do with all that free time.
Or, ask each guest to write down a suggestion for a leisure-time
activity, i.e., watch a lot of CNN, or catch up on those Bay
Watch reruns.
Finally, don't forget the old standby of gag gifts like hemorrhoid creme, denture adhesive, or a gift
subscription to Modern Maturity.
When all is said and done, have a oversized card (or
you can cover an entire wall with a large sheet of paper) for
guests to write down their final comments on their departure.
By this time, hopefully they will be able to express something
The result: a fond memory and a truly wonderful keepsake.
Have fun!

We argue that improved data entry can motivate Quantified-Self (QS) users to better engage with QS applications. To improve data entry, we investigate the notion of transforming active smartphone usage into data logging contributions through alert dialogs. We evaluate this assertion in a 4-week long deployment with 48 participants. We collect 17,906 data entries, where 68.3% of the entries are reported using the alert dialogs. We demonstrate that QS applications can benefit from alert dialogs: to increase data precision, frequency, and reduce the probability of forgetfulness in data logging. We investigate the impact of usage session type (e.g., sessions with different goals or durations) and the assigned reminder delay on frequency of data contributions. We conclude with insights gathered from our investigation, and the implications they have on future designs.

Bernice makes a shock reappearance in the village. Outside The Woolpack, she composes herself before walking in through the back door. Diane is stunned to see her daughter, who promptly breaks down in tears. Diane is sympathetic as a teary Bernice tells her how her marriage is crumbling. Ashley is shocked to see his ex and wonders how long she is staying. At the same time, Nicola is not impressed by her sister's return and Diane is left feeling suspicious when Bernice suddenly changes her mood as she walks into the bar. Meanwhile, Scarlett leaves for the airport and Nicola thanks her for everything she has done for Jimmy. Later, Jimmy is worried when Charity collects her files, telling him that she's taking her contracts with her and his business will fail without her. Jimmy feels burdened when Nicola tells him that he hasn't got much of a choice but to get Charity to agree to a deal that suits everyone. He is then left angry when a client wants to work with Charity, not him. As the day continues, a triumphant Charity makes a deal with Jimmy - they split the business 50/50. Jimmy is left wondering if he's done the right thing. Elsewhere, Paddy and Rhona are interviewing for a new vet, but are not hopeful about the applications. Brett arrives late for his interview and Paddy feels threatened when the newcomer steps in to help out at the busy surgery. Rhona offers Brett the job, wanting him to start tomorrow. Paddy can't think of a reasonable objection. Also, Zak's visit to his psychiatrist leaves him feeling positive about how things are going, while Edna is worried about Tootsie's health and her finances.

It's rare we actually have reason to celebrate whenever a gun law gets passed. Usually they entail more restrictions and mind-numbing bureaucracy (see Progressive Seattle Passes Useless Gun Control Tax Law). But this time? This is one of those special occasions where the new law doesn't impede on freedoms. Be still, my beating heart!
Bonus points, Missouri just triggered gaggles of liberals everywhere… Because they passed a law that quashes concealed carry requirements. The result? More freedom.
For the second time Wednesday, Republicans turned to a parliamentary maneuver to kill a Democratic filibuster and force a vote on a bill, this time to override Gov. Jay Nixon's veto of a bill eliminating training and permit requirements to carry a concealed gun in public.
After shutting down debate, the Senate voted to override the governor's veto on a 24-6 party line vote. The bill moved to the House, where it was quickly approved 112-41. It becomes law in 30 days.
More Freedom? Yes please.
Clearly, this is a step in the right direction in the realm of concealed carries. But that's not all. Yes, there's really more. And it's not even Christmas. The bill encompasses more than just concealed carry requirements. It also enables people to readily defend themselves in a legal manner.
The wide-ranging bill would also… implement a "stand your ground" law that says people no longer have a duty to try to retreat before using lethal force if they think their life is in danger. The bill will would expand the castle doctrine to permit invited guests in a home to use deadly force on intruders.
This is big. Self defense just got a whole lot easier for Missourians. If you peek at the comment section of the original article, you'll see people quick to denounce the changes. Because "common sense gun control." The thing is, this law has little affect on criminals. Hence the whole "crime" part of being a criminal. Laws have no bearing on them. But regular, law-abiding people? They're greatly affected (or limited) by laws. Thus, this is great news for them. No more sitting in duck-like manner. Time to spread those wings and not die. Because now you can protect yourself without breaking the law. YAY FREEDOM!
Oh, and if you're out there screaming "COMMON SENSE GUN LAWS" and stuff? Make sure you're not an idiot. Here's a good test:
