The nominee did not look or sound like most Americans. He spoke with flair in a flat-voweled land. He was optimism in a time of gray, a tomorrow man in a country where many felt their best days were behind them.
On top of that, he was thought to be a man without heft, a bit of a dandy.
But with one speech, Franklin Roosevelt put himself on the side of a huge majority of Americans eager to throw out a president. His voice would be that of "the forgotten man," Roosevelt vowed on April 7, 1932, a day when he found his theme, and the Democratic Party found its agenda for the next half-century.
When Barack Obama goes before 70,000 people at Invesco Field on Thursday night, he will try to be the voice for those who also feel forgotten in the age of the global economy, among the nearly 80 percent of voters who say the nation is on the wrong track. But he's fighting the headwinds of history. Obama is now clearly the underdog, as the weight of just how unusual his candidacy is becomes clear to voters, who truly only focus as summer ends.
Obama's central dilemma — strange in this age of media saturation — is that so many voters still don't know him. The most frequent thing I heard in the suburbs of Colorado recently was a simple question: Who is this guy?
All those who lament that Obama is only tied with John McCain in a big Democratic year forget the obvious: Obama does not look like most Americans, and grew up in Hawaii, a state that a supposedly mainstream commentator, Cokie Roberts, called "some sort of foreign, exotic place."
"My story is your story," Obama tells crowds. But it's not. And the inspiring and deeply resonant parts — the son of a single mother who needed student loans to get through the nation's best schools, the prodigy who passed up big bucks law firms for low-wage community organizing — are already being cast in a negative light.
On the Republican National Committee Web site, under the section on "Meet Barack Obama," he's called "a street organizer," which can mean only one thing. By insinuation, Mother Teresa would be one step from a crack dealer.
"Do we know if he ever sold drugs?" Sean Hannity, ever eager to inject a lie that fits a stereotype in the national bloodstream, asked Jerome R. Corsi, the professional character assassin and author of "Obama Nation."
The Texas Republican Party targets Obama with a Web video that shows pictures of an African who lives in a shack, identified as Obama's half-brother, George Hussein Onyango Obama. Hint, hint.
And at a Washington state fair this week, the Republican booth distributed $3 bills depicting Barack Obama with Arab headgear and a camel.
This is just the stuff on the surface. McCain will not bring it out directly. He has others — legions — to do it for him. Imagine what is out of sight and less organized. But it speaks to one of two big issues that Democrats are trying to resolve during this week's convention: Can a majority of voters get comfortable with the son of a Kenyan of the Luo tribe?
Obama himself spent much of his life trying to fit into his identity. His father, Obama writes in his memoir, "was black as pitch" and thus "looked nothing like the people around me." He also abandoned his American family before Barack ever got to know him. On Obama's mother's side are ancestors of Scottish and English stock, and Obama writes of staring at an old sepia-toned photograph from a Kansas homestead. "Theirs were the faces of American Gothic, the WASP bloodline's poorer cousins."
The dissonance that Obama felt growing up is now shared by many voters. Where does he fit in their lives?
Democrats started to answer this question with the knockout speech by Michelle Obama on Monday. She could not have been more likeable, and the story of the father with multiple sclerosis who worked 30 years at the water filtration plant, the family that sent two kids from the South Side of Chicago to Ivy League schools, the girl allowed only one hour of television who memorized every episode of "The Brady Bunch," was designed to take "different" off the table.
On Thursday night, we're likely to hear more about "Toot," the Midwestern grandma who helped raise Barack, from the Dunham family that produced a free spirit — Obama's mother Ann, never more than a step away from poverty. That's his first challenge — connect. Then he moves on to what Franklin Roosevelt did with his forgotten man speech: define the campaign from the anxious voter's perspective.
It was largely overlooked, but the former Republican congressman from Iowa, Jim Leach, now an Obama supporter, framed it well in a speech on Monday. "Nothing is riskier than more of the same," he said.
Two months from now, people may remember Teddy Kennedy's heroic effort to hold onto life long enough for one last speech, and Hillary Clinton's tangerine pantsuit. If her supporters vote for McCain they were never Democrats anyway, or they're clueless, like the former Clinton supporter in the Republican ad who mistakenly thought McCain was pro-choice on abortion.
Those vignettes, all part of convention drama and filling cable television's vacuum, will last no longer than a Rocky Mountain thunderstorm.
What people will remember is whether the stranger in the stadium sounded like someone who could lead them to a better day.

Prom Nightmares
I am a worrier and a dweller. To me, there are always 'what ifs' to stress out about.
This isn't something I voluntarily do, it just kind of happens–recently even more so, as Prom is just around the corner.
I must be super stressed out about Prom because for the past 3 weeks I have been worrying unconsciously. Yeah. Every night there is a new dream full of horrible and outlandish things that could happen to me during Prom. Here are a few:
1 . We were all held captive in the ballroom and the only way to get out was to decipher the messages sent to us by our captors. But, the messages were in 3-D and I left my 3-D glasses at home.
2 . All of my underwear was covered in blue paint and I couldn't find any new ones.
3. It took me so long to get ready that I missed my own party bus, and I arrived to prom as soon as it was ending…with no make-up on because I didn't have time to put it on.
4. I got to Prom late but when I did get there, everyone was watching a documentary film about baby elephants being killed in the wild. It was SO sad.
5. I decided at the very last minute that I wanted to save my dress for Prom next year. So I had to find a new dress in my closet 20 minutes before I had to go. I don't have any other formal gowns in my closet.
6. I missed the party bus so I had
to get dropped off by my mom and Mrs. Brittingham had to take me home.
7. The lady doing my make-up did it off a model in a magazine who had blocks of eye-shadow in purple and silver making a checkerboard on my eye-lid. It looked awful.
8. It was a buffet-style dinner and I was so late that the only thing left was mac-n-cheese.
#pray none of these actually happen #especially the baby elephants one

Top three ways to handle Java user input in a standalone Java app
This tutorial looks at three ways a Java app can handle input: using the Scanner, using the System's console object, and using a Swing component.
Computer programs, in their simplest form, really just do three things: First, they take input from the user; secondly, they manipulate that input in some manner; and thirdly, they send a response back to the client informing the user about how their input was handled. Interestingly, however, handling user input in a standalone Java application has always been rather onerous since it requires the use of InputStream objects and various esoteric input and output classes. Fortunately, additions to the JDK over the years have helped to simplify the task of obtaining input from the user. In this tutorial, the third in a series, we look at three of the best ways to handle user input in a simple, standalone Java application -- by using the Scanner class, the System's console object and the Swing package's JOptionPane.

Apple's iTunes Music Store Gets Flooded
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Apple, Corporate News, Music, Portable Audio / Video,
Recipients of iPods and iTunes gift cards swarmed over Apple's music store over the last few days, apparently causing 20 minute slowdowns and error messaging. Beginning this past Monday, onliners began to post frantic "help me" messages on their tech forum.
Still looking into the situation, Apple must surely be feeling the cash flow, since online market researcher Hitwise has reported that 4 times as many shoppers visited the iTunes website on Christmas this season as compared to last year. As of now, Apple dominates that market by about 75%, however increased competition could cost them as much as 5% in 2007, according to research analyst Gene Munster.

2006 Holiday Gift Guide: Apple MacBook Pro
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Features, PC / Laptop, Men, Techies,
In our opinion, it doesn't get much better than the MacBook Pro when it comes to a portable computer. Why? Well, aside from the Intel Core 2 Duo processors that they house, they are lightweight and have batteries that last almost three hours under normal use and load. It has a built-in iSight webcam, FireWire 400 and 800 ports, and a backlit keyboard. The kicker here though, is that by using this with the Parallels software, you can run Windows 2000, XP, and Vista side-by-side within OS X. If you prefer a dedicated OS experience, you can use Boot Camp to run Windows on it's own. That means that by buying a MacBook Pro, you get access to both the OS X and Windows operating systems with extreme ease. The same can't be said for the PC side of things.

Adobe Photoshop CS3 Beta Cracked On OS X and Windows
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Design, PC / Laptop, Software,
Wow - we know that Adobe's efforts to lock down the Photoshop CS3 Beta would be cracked very soon, but we certainly didn't expect to see it happen in less than a day! As mentioned previously, Adobe wanted to give beta testers just two days to use the Photoshop CS3 software, unless they had an authentic Photoshop CS2 serial key. That just couldn't stand in our highly social Internet community of today, and now there is both an OS X Photoshop CS3 crack, as well as a Photoshop CS3 beta Windows crack, already in the wild! Our guess? Adobe will put a bit more thought into the protection of the full Creative Suite 3 line - and it will take a little more than a day to get that cracked.

2006 Holiday Gift Guide: Apple iPod nano
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Features, Music, Portable Audio / Video, Women, Techies, Teens,
The recently overhauled iPod nano is almost a splitting image of the old-school iPod mini. You know, the anodized-aluminum casing that is available in multiple colors? Yeah, that's the one. The new casing is much more scratch-resistant than the original nano, and features a brighter screen along with better battery life (26 hours!) and a thinner shell, if you can believe that. The new iPod nano also features updated software which includes a nice search interface. What you aren't getting, though, is the ability to play movies or the new iPod games that are available in iTunes - however, we think that most people on the lookout to purchase a nano aren't necessarily the gaming type. Plus, who would want to play Zuma on a screen this tiny? Still, for a flash-based portable music player, we give the nod to the iPod nano. Hey, you can even get the RED nano and help in the fight against AIDS. Feel free to check out our iPod nano unboxing video.

Justin Long To Remain Mac Guy
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Apple, PC / Laptop,
Despite recent rumors started last week on Radar, Justin Long says he is still the "Mac guy." On his web page Justin states, "We're doing some holiday spots now which I think will be pretty funny — not nearly funny enough to justify [sic] the money they're paying me though, I'll be honest with you."
This is good news to us, since we are big fans of Apple's creative spots and can't wait to see the new commercials. Let's just hope that fellow actor John Hodgman is smart enough not to cover Justin's mouth with his hand again.

iPod Takes to the Friendly Skies
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Apple, Corporate News, Portable Audio / Video,
Apple has announced that it has teamed up with airlines Continental, Delta, Air France, United, Emirates, and KLM to offer integration between iPods and in-flight entertainment. This service, which includes charging during flight, will become available in mid-2007.
"There is no better traveling companion than an iPod, and now travelers can power their iPods during flight and even watch their iPod movies and TV shows on their seat back displays," said Greg Joswiak, Apple's vice president of Worldwide iPod Product Marketing.
We knew that iPod's friendliness would eventually take flight when we found out that 70% of U.S. autos already offer that connectivity.

The quest to do you isn't all steps it is miles within miles you have to understand how to run walk and jog. This will be a marathon so come prepared to run or go the distance. In the effort to do you, one has to examine your baggage, what you bring into life, into relationships, and into your life. To truly go there you have to be willing to open those suit cases an examine.
A major thing that helps you do you is understanding your worth. See your worth is not in a bank account, clothes you wear, what you got between your legs, or even your slick tongue. A woman needs to value her self by more than what's between her legs but what's in her head. The mind is a valuable tool that most women want men to focus on but when it comes down to it she will rely on her body to get her in the door. A woman needs to be cognizant of herself and her surroundings and the person she comes into contact with while is deciding to do what she does. The same goes for a man when it comes down to decided what he does the value of himself is not in the abs, smile, on his tool it is in his words, his heart, his soul.
A man on the other side has to be more mindful of the woman in the situation. She is out looking her life partner; she's emotional, temperamental, edgy, and just really wants to move forward. Men woman has standards, they have a list of things they want and expect in a minute. Sometimes woman have a list of 10 things they expect in a man and usually expect men to meat the entire list.
There is a group of woman who believe because they are woman, because they are pretty a man should be falling allover them and willing to do whatever. Guess what ladies looks fade. Shocking revelation I know but if your personality sucks, if you can't speak well, or bring anything to the table a man will tire of you. In the end you'll be zipping and draining his pockets, emotionally, physically. You should never want your partners to view you as a burden, absolutely. Try your best to be an asset to anyone's life. Trust in the end it will make you better when you do you.

"But he who merely hears and does not practice doing My words is like a man who built his house on the ground without a foundation, against which the torrent burst, and immediately it collapsed and fell, and the breaking and ruin of that house was great." Luke 6:49 Amplified
We are continuing our study of how to be like Jesus. In the verse today our Lord says, just because you know what He says, if you don't do it, put into practice in your life every day, you are setting yourself up for a fall.
I think a lot of people feel like if they go to church and hear a sermon that's enough. They look at the Bible like it's a book from school, they don't really want to read it, but they feel like they have to, well that doesn't do us any good. The Creator of the universe has given us a guidebook for life and we ignore it. In our verse today Jesus says we all need a foundation in our life. What is your foundation? What you can do for yourself? You're a mere mortal and without God's help you can do nothing. You actually have no foundation.
If you have continually seen breakdown and collapse in your life then seek God in His word and pursue the things He tells us to do. He truly knows what's best for you and has only your best in mind.
Seek Him. Trust Him

If I Had a Million Dollars
March 18, 2012
Hey peeps! My apologies in advance for the navel gazing. But who can resist this question?
Ok, for the sake of argument let's say 10 million, since one isn't really enough to dream with anymore.
1) I'd buy a row house in Brooklyn. Because even a gazillion dollars might not last forever, but I'd always need a place to live. Plus, the rent up here is bananapants. Once one of my sisters (who lives in the rural south) asked me how much my rent was, and when I told her, her mouth literally fell open.
2) I'd find an awesome back doctor. I have one of those back problems that defies diagnosis. MD's mostly throw up their hands and imply that it must be imaginary if they can't find the cause. Chiropractors and acupuncturists sometimes help, but only in the short term. And a good physical therapist is like a diamond- rare and difficult to find in the wild.
3) Once my back was fixed (or at least stabilized), I'd exercise more. I'd go back to jogging, and I'd take pilates classes and yoga classes and whatever else looked interesting. Because both my back and my bank account limit me there.
4) I'd go someplace warm and sunny in the dead of winter, and get out of town anytime I felt the need for fresh perspective. It wouldn't even have to be exotic. Road trips to Bozeman and Indianapolis would totally do it for me. There's just something wonderful about having a sort of boots-on-the ground experience of places where other people live and work. Don't get me wrong. I like big cathedrals and stuff like that too. But what really does it for me is your local coffee shop where people hang out, your craft shops where the hand-made community congregates, your idiosyncratic local churches and museums.
5) I'd do my personal writing full-time. I've written one novel and am partway through a second one. I'm pretty happy with how it's going, but there's no denying it's a learning process- at least for me, and I'm kind of a perfectionist about it. So it takes time. It's hard to squeeze in- mentally and logistically- after a day of writing stuff for other people.
6) I'd eat really good, healthy food every day, all the time.
7) I'd help out some of the people in my life- a selected few. To all the rest, I'd pretend to still be poor.
8) I'd give some money away to charity. Like a scholarship, some kind of women's health thing, maybe an animal shelter or a spay and neuter program…..
I wrote this a few days ago, and having it fermenting in the back of my consciousness has inspired more thoughts about goals for my life- the things that make me feel happy and worthwhile, and help me stay sane. (Not always an easy proposition, har!) I'm reminded that of course money can only amplify what's already in one's life, but can't add meaning or self-regard. Duh, right? It's good to be reminded though.
What would you do?
One Response to "If I Had a Million Dollars"
March 29, 2012 at 11:25 am
I always enjoy your posts (it's like I can hear you writing just as you speak). If I had €10Million I would: have a little apartment in Paris so I could go there as often as I'd like, I'd take all the classes I've ever dreamed of taking and become better at all the things I start and don't finish, which means I wouldn't be working, unless it was something I cared about; I'd travel far and wide, take all my friends and family on creative 'field trips', and find a charity to support. And your number seven. :)

OnePlus 6 Release Date: An official date has been revealed
OnePlus 6: Release date, price, specs and all the latest news
Chinese manufacturer OnePlus will take the wraps off its much-anticipated flagship smartphone of 2018, dubbed the OnePlus 6, on May 16 at an event in London. Here's everything we've heard about the handset, including its release date, specs, features and price.
OnePlus 6 Latest News: Release date and event announced
OnePlus has announced that it will take the wraps the OnePlus 6 at a dedicated launch event in London on May 16 – and, as was the case with the OnePlus 5T's unveiling, the gathering isn't reserved for reporters, retailers, networks and the like, so you and a few friends can head over and see what all the fuss is about.
Those attending the event will receive a swag bag containing a slew of exclusive goodies, as well as an invitation to a party where they'll be able to rub shoulders with the people who brought the handset to life, including CEO Pete Lau and co-founder Carl Pei.
At the OnePlus 5T event, attendees received a OnePlus-branded backpack, baseball cap and hoodie, in addition to a handful of other collectibles. The firm told Trusted Reviews, however, that everything at the London gathering is going to be bigger and better, with those who purchase a OnePlus 6 receiving an exciting free gift.
A ticket to the OnePlus 6 shindig in London will set you back £30/$41 from April 27, though OnePlus is hosting an Early Bird special, in which you can score yourself one for the reduced price of £16/$21, from April 24. Oh, and if you want to take a friend along for the experience, you can purchase a Plus One ticket for £20/$27.
OnePlus 6 will be OnePlus' first waterproof smartphone
The OnePlus 6 will be OnePlus' first smartphone to offer water resistance, according to a teaser released on April 16.
While OnePlus has long been able to compete with its fellow Android flagships in terms of specs, the likes of Samsung and co. have retained an advantage when it comes to handing the wet stuff. But it looks like the firm is biting back, offering water resistance, without sacrificing the beloved 3.5mm headphone jack.
First OnePlus 6 camera samples surface
A trio of pictures snapped using the OnePlus 6 were shared on Chinese social networking website Weibo by OnePlus CEO Pete Lau on April 16, with the accompanying metadata revealing that the handset is armed with a 16MP camera – there's no mention of the other sensor that makes up the dual-camera.
New OnePlus 6 teaser trailers air in India
OnePlus has started airing a new trailer for the OnePlus 6 in cinemas in India. The 19-second clip, which was recorded and shared by a moviegoer on April 15, teases a new smartphone that has been designed with speed in mind – hinting at the inclusion of a state-of-the-art Snapdragon 845 CPU and at least 8GB of RAM.

Oh, and for folk viewing outside India, don't be alarmed by the Prime Exclusive logo – OnePlus has a long-standing deal with Amazon to offer its handsets in the region.
Leaked case renders showcase the design of OnePlus' next flagship
A British retailer may have confirmed the design of the upcoming OnePlus 6.
Mobile Fun listed a set of cases for the OnePlus 6 on its website on April 13, showcasing them on a familiar-looking handset with an iPhone X-style notch on the front and a centre-mounted dual-camera, like the one found on the Galaxy S9 Plus, on the rear – corroborating almost everything we've heard about the unit to date.
OnePlus 6 Design and Specs: What does it look like, and is it a beast?
The OnePlus 6 will be OnePlus' most impressive smartphone to date, featuring a 6.3-inch AMOLED screen, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chipset, 8GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage, according to CEO Carl Pei. The firm is also rumoured to be working on a cheaper variant with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage.
But here's the bad news: Pei all but confirmed that the OnePlus 6 is armed with a controversial 'notched' screen à la iPhone X, which, in layman's terms, means there's a small cutout at the top of the display used to house several important components, like the front-facing camera – and it's a bit of an eyesore.
Pei told The Verge that "it's a very clear decision: more real estate for the user. In conclusion, learn to love the notch," later emphasising that the footprint of the cutout is a lot smaller than that of the iPhone X, meaning there's a lot more space for notification management and other status bar-related activities.
"How big a notch always depends on your choices as a company," he said. "What you are essentially doing is moving the entire notification bar up, giving users more content on their screen.Our notch, it will be there. It'll be bigger than the Essential Phone and smaller than the iPhone" on the OnePlus 6, Pei concluded.
A week later, CEO Pete Lau revealed that the OnePlus 6 will come with a software feature that will allow users to disguise the notch – like the one found on the Huawei P20 Pro. Once enabled, the space either side of the notch at the top of the screen will be disablde, thus creating the illusion of a symmetrical design.
"A black-out feature was seriously considered in the early stages of the development of the OnePlus 6. At the time we decided against adding this feature…Recently many users have raised interest in having a black-out function. We respect your feedback, and would like to give everyone the ability to choose. This function will enable you to black out the background of the notifications and status bar," Lau writes.
OnePlus could be hoping that one of the handset's features will spare it from any criticism it's set to receive, however.
BBK, the firm behind Chinese manufacturers OnePlus, Oppo and Vivo, took the wraps off the Vivo X21 UD, a smartphone equipped with an in-screen – optical – fingerprint reader on March 19, and there's a chance the authentication tech could be carried over to the upcoming OnePlus 6, beating rival Samsung to the punch.
The introduction of an optical fingerprint reader would not only entitle OnePlus to the bragging rights, but could also help it evade censure for following in Apple's footsteps by opting for a notched screen, instead of a panel with an equal bezel at the top and bottom – like Samsung did with the award-winning Galaxy Note 8.
Related: Best Smartphone
As for what the OnePlus 6 looks like, tipsters claim that it isn't too dissimilar to the Vivo X21 UD, with a vertically-mounted dual-camera setup, complete with an LED flash, taking pride of place on the rear. The camera configuration on the firm's (current) flagship OnePlus 5T, for comparison, is mounted horizontally.
The handset will be available in three colours, according to a batch of renders that surfaced on Chinese social networking website Weibo on April 15 – black, white, and a new shade of dark blue, which looks remarkably similar to the 'Really Blue' hue that debuted on the Google Pixel and Google Pixel XL back in October 2016.
OnePlus 6 Release Date and Price: When does it come out, and how much will it cost?
The OnePlus 6 is rumoured to be unveiled sometime this spring, with GizmoChina hinting towards a March release – though that wasn't the case, seeing as we're now in April and are still yet to hear a peep from OnePlus. There's understandably no official word on pricing and availability, either.
But that doesn't mean we don't have an idea of how much at least one variant of the handset will cost. Information that surfaced on Weibo on March 21 indicates that OnePlus is working on a 256GB variant of the OnePlus 6 with 8GB of RAM, which should retail for around $749 (£530) when it hits the shelves later in the year.
What feature are you hoping to see on the OnePlus 6? Be sure to let us know over on Facebook or Twitter @TrustedReviews.

Yesterdays birding + 2013 RARITY SHOWDOWN
I KNEW I shoulda stayed in bed ;)
I actually woke up early, and made it to Fort Erie! There was only one problem - the SHIMMER OF DEATH...
I couldn't see a darn thing....
I ended up checking from Port Colborne to Adam Beck along the river/Lake Erie - and my heart really wasn't "in it" ...
I was back at the condo by mid afternoon... and I'm too lazy now to document my mediocre sightings.
Something to look forward to -
With Josh V going to Netitishi, and Ken B going to the tip of Long Point - I realized I had passed on any exciting rarity trips this fall in favour of being boring and staying home/working. What the heck is wrong with me?
Cue a rarity showdown to spice things up...
Both Ken and Josh will be at their respective locations over the time span of Oct 26th to November 3rd... (8 days).... Without further adieu -
Apparently the condo is so intimidating that neither would agree to the terms (rarest bird) unless I was bound to "walking distance" around my building. SO - there's a chance I may end up blowing half of the competition off by going birding somewhere else (Pelee?) - but I still think I could easily win with half the days...
I also expect to be able to trash talk my competition constantly while they're both away and unable to defend themselves...
As of right now, an EPIC storm system is forecast to affect us over this time frame, so the birding could be incredible. More on that tomorrow

A thug, who admitted assaulting a man in a Wishaw street and shouting racist abuse in a local shop,has been spared jail.
Lee Johnston appeared at Hamilton Sheriff Court for sentencing having already pleaded guilty to assaulting John Jones on July 1 last year in Hillcrest Avenue by punching him on the head causing him to fall to the ground.
Johnston, of Winning Quadrant, Wishaw, also admitted acting in a racially aggravated manner at the Premier Stores in Hillcrest Avenue by shouting, swearing and referring to an Asian man in racially derogatory terms.
The 32-year-old was put on a community payback order and told to carry out a total of 200 hours of unpaid work.
Meanwhile, a man has been jailed for three years after breaking into a family's home and assaulting them.
Kevin Daly, 26, c/o HMP Addiewell, appeared last Thursday at Hamilton Sheriff Court for sentencing after a jury found him guilty of the offence at a house in Fort Street, Motherwell, on December 23 last year.
With another, Daly forced entry into the house and assaulted two men, a woman and a 14-year-old, demanded money, brandished a hammer, attempted to strike one man with the hammer, struggled with them and stole a jar of coins.
Finally, a Wishaw man has pleaded guilty to assaulting a woman in a Motherwell nightclub.
George Thompson, of Innerleithen Drive, admitted punching Rebecca Gillespie at Skoosh Nightclub in Muir Street on November 29 last year.
At Hamilton Sheriff Court last week, 38-year-old Thompson also pleaded guilty to behaving in a threatening manner in Muir Street by shouting, swearing, acting in an aggressive manner and uttering threats of violence.
Sentence was deferred on Thompson until June 16 and a full range of reports were called for.

By Matt Dolloff, CBS Boston
BOSTON (CBS) — Jaromir Jagr may be 45 years old and entering free agency, but the ageless wonder is still looking for work in the NHL. The league's No. 2 all-time leading scorer is apparently still waiting for even a single phone call from an NHL GM, as he's coming off the lowest scoring season of his career (excluding the shortened 2012-13 season) with 46 points in 2016-17 while playing in all 82 games for the Panthers.
Jagr took to Twitter on Thursday night to update his followers on his UFA status:
And then he officially won Twitter for the night with this follow-up:
It's hard to believe that Jagr was a free agent back in 1994, when he was 21 years old (and an absolute specimen). But he did end up staying in Pittsburgh for seven more seasons, scoring 760 points in 495 games while winning five scoring titles.
Don Sweeney probably won't be giving Jagr a call, but it would be surprising if someone didn't employ the living legend by the end of the summer.

Battled a goopy, frozen diesel engine to chug out to Wild Wings and snowshoe. Seeing as how the temperature had been hovering around 5 degrees the day before, the heat wave (28 degrees!) brought us out of our hovel and into the woods for some cardio.
[Rob and Dr. B blazing trails.]
I'm sorely lacking in adequate photography for this outing. It was a huge pain in the ass to get into my inside pocket with the two poles when you really, really don't want to be left behind fumbling with a lens cap.
The best part was all of the animal footprints scattering the forest floor—serious bun-bun action out there.
There's something to be said for fun snow sports. Jolly good.
Then I dreamt last night that I was floating on the pool raft back in FL, timing my flip and checking my tan lines. Hm.

NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series:
David Ragan
Team: No. 6 AAA Ford Fusion
Crew Chief: Jimmy Fennig
Chassis: Primary: RK- 394 (Previously ran at Indy; finished 16th)
Back-up: RK- 201 (Previously ran at Michigan; finished 21st)
Ragan on racing at California Speedway:
"Last weekend in Bristol was pretty tough for the AAA team so I'm really hoping that we can make a comeback in California this weekend and bring home a good finish for AAA. We raced at California back in February and finished 16th so hopefully we can beat that and come home with a top-five. We are taking the same car that we ran at Michigan and finished 18th in a couple of weeks ago so I think we have a car that we could definitely be a good contender with and work on during practice to get it running pretty close to just right."
Crew Chief Jimmy Fennig on racing at California Speedway:
"We've been making steady progress in the points until we took that blow in Bristol last weekend so we desperately need to pull it together and have a good weekend in California. We've had a few hiccups in the pits the past couple of weeks so the guys have been working hard to get those few issues worked out and David and I have been going over notes and figuring out where we are missing things. Our second trip to these tracks, we should be leaving with top-five finishes and that's what we need to do if we plan on being in the top-15 or top-20 in points by the end of the season, which is not that far off."
Greg Biffle
Team: No. 16 Aflac Ford Fusion
Crew Chief: Greg Erwin
Chassis: RK-314 All-Star '07 -- 15th; Pocono 2 '07 -- 23rd
Biffle on racing at California Speedway:
"California and Michigan are probably two of my favorite tracks on the circuit. They're both fast, wide tracks and that makes passing a lot easier. At California, the racing gets strung out a little more and there don't tend to be a lot of cautions, so it's important to qualify well and have good green flag pit stops. We're taking the car that we raced at Pocono and I think we will be okay with it at California. We missed the setup a little at Pocono but it's a good downforce car, so we'll see what we can do. I'd like to see us finish in the top five this weekend in the Aflac Ford Fusion."
Crew Chief Greg Erwin on racing at California Speedway:
"We're taking the same car we raced at Pocono a few weeks ago. We didn't have the best finish with it at Pocono but that was due to the setup. We still feel it is one of our best down-force cars and that is why we're taking it to California this weekend. Greg runs well at tracks like California and Michigan so hopefully this weekend we can get the setup where it needs to be early in practice."
Matt Kenseth
Team: No. 17 R+L Carriers/DEWALT Ford Fusion
Crew Chief: Robbie Reiser
Chassis: RK-317 Last outing: Pocono, June '07 -- finished ninth Also: Scored four top fives in '07 including a win in Fontana, Feb. '07
RK-340 Last outing: Pocono, August '07 -- finished 14th Also: Served as backup in six races in 2007
Kenseth on racing at California Speedway:
"I'm looking forward to going back to California. We've usually been pretty strong on that type of track and we've had some success there before, so coming off of a disappointing weekend at Bristol, it's definitely good to be going to a track you feel you can run well at.
"We're locked into the Chase now and that feels good and all, but we've got to start running better and build some momentum. Of course, last year, we had all the momentum in the world heading into the Chase and couldn't get it done once in the Chase, so momentum isn't everything. But, we still want to score some good finishes in these next two races and get our cars running the best we can for those final 10 races.
"They fact we've now made the Chase for four straight years is a credit to Robbie (Reiser), Chip (Bolin, Engineer), and all of the guys on the team. I feel like year in and year out, we've got one of the best teams in the garage, our pit crew always does an awesome job, now it's up to us to figure out how to make our cars a little bit better so that we can compete for the championship."
Crew Chief Robbie Reiser on racing at California Speedway:
"We're taking the same car that we won with at California earlier this year and hopefully we'll have it good enough to compete for the win this time around.
"It's good to be locked into the Chase, now we just need to go out and win one of these next two and pick up some bonus points before the Chase starts. I think this weekend is a great opportunity, but have to do everything right because there are a lot of cars running really good right now.
"I'm proud of this team and the job this group does every week. The fact that we've made the Chase now for every season is a testament to them. It's a very close-knit group and they work hard to make sure this team is always a contender."
Jamie McMurray
Team: No. 26 Sharp AQUOS/3M Vikuiti Ford Fusion
Crew Chief: Larry Carter
Chassis: Primary: RK -- 393 Last run at Indy -- July '07; finished 33rd
Backup: RK -- 403 -- Tested at Vegas -- Jan. '07
McMurray on racing at California Speedway:
"I really hope this weekend in Fontana goes better than the last few weeks have gone for the No. 26 team. We have either fought the car or been caught up in wrecks. It just seems like we can't catch a break. It's really tough because I know that we have good cars, we just haven't had the finishes to back up our cars. This weekend, we are taking the same car that we ran well with in Indy; up until we were caught in that wreck. California Speedway is statistically my best track on the circuit and I don't really know why. I enjoy the track, and the racing there has gotten better each time we visit the speedway
"You know, I'd like to think we will have a good run this weekend based on statistics, but you can't go off of those alone. I thought we had a really good car in the spring; it didn't qualify really well, but when we put it in race trim, it was fast. Early into the race, we were moving through the field, but were caught up in an early wreck. We returned to the track, but it didn't really help salvage the day.
"Hopefully this weekend, we can turn our luck around and put up another good finish for the Sharp and 3M guys. The last time we ran this car, I finished in the top five, so we'll see."
Crew Chief Larry Carter on racing at California Speedway:
"This weekend we are returning to Fontana with the same car that we ran in Indy. We hung a brand new body on it before Indy and were really impressed with the way it ran. It was built as a flat track car, but we think it will run pretty well this weekend in Fontana. California Speedway is a track similar to Michigan, where Roush Fenway has seen a lot of success in the past. With Kenseth's win in Fontana earlier this season, we should be able to use a lot of the same notes and setup as those guys. I know all the guys on the No. 26 team are hungry for a strong run and hopefully this will be the weekend we can turn it around."
Carl Edwards
Team: No.99 Office Depot Ford Fusion
Crew Chief: Bob Osborne
Chassis: RK-320, last raced Atlanta in the fall of 2006. Started 12th, finished seventh
Edwards on racing at California Speedway:
"I'm excited to go to California this weekend. It's a fun track to drive especially this weekend since we start during the day and finish at night. We really didn't have the best run there when we raced California in February, but my Office Depot team and Bob Osborne have made tremendous improvements over the year and I have no doubt we'll be super competitive this weekend. I think we have a great car for this weekend and I feel pretty good about our chances of running up front. After our win last weekend in Bristol, the Office Depot team is extremely pumped and I am expecting another strong run this weekend. Since we clinched a spot in the 'Chase' last weekend, some of that pressure is off and now we can go out and race for bonus points."
Crew Chief Bob Osborne on racing at California Speedway:
"I think we are all relieved to make it out of Bristol, and to make it out with a win is even better. Clinching a spot in the 'Chase' takes a lot of pressure off of the Office Depot team. We've been good at California in the past and I feel like we have a pretty good chance to run up front this weekend. My guys are improving week in and week out and I wouldn't be surprised if we grabbed another 10 bonus points this weekend, as well. We have two races until the 'Chase' so we need to do our very best to win races and get those bonus points. We have a driver and team that are fully capable of that."
NASCAR Busch Series:
David Ragan
Team: No. 6 Discount Tire Ford Fusion
Crew Chief: Mike Kelley
Chassis: RK-356 Last ran at Dover, Jun. '07, finished 32nd Ran at Darlington, May '07, finished 13th Ran at Bristol, Mar. '07, finished 13th
Ragan on racing in the Busch Series at California Speedway:
"I am very comfortable going to Fontana this time around. We improved on our finish last time we were here but I felt like we could have done a lot better. At this point in the season we have to focus on securing top 10 finishes every week. The Discount Tire team can't afford to have any bad weeks. I believe we can improve in the standings if we continue to run well but everybody has to be on the same page. I can't stress that enough. Also, our over the wall guys have to be consistent and I have to take care of our equipment. If we put it all together, special things can happen for this team."
Crew Chief Mike Kelley on racing at California Speedway:
"We are really excited to get back to Fontana for the second time with David. It is a big plus when he can see a track for the second time in a year. We are taking a new body build for the Roush Busch cars. The Discount Tire team has done a lot in preparation for this weekend. The Ford Fusion looks really good in the tunnel and David has gotten two top 15 finishes in the car. I am confident we can run in the front and secure another good finish Saturday night. We have our sights set on getting David Rookie-of-the Year honors and picking up a win for the Discount Tire family."
Greg Biffle
Team: No. 16 3M Ford Fusion
Crew Chief: Eddie Pardue
Chassis: RK-372 -- This car finished fifth at Michigan two weeks ago
Biffle on racing in the Busch Series at California Speedway:
"I'm excited for the Busch race at California this weekend. We're taking the same car that won the pole and got a top five at Michigan two weeks ago. Since Michigan and California are so similar we figured that car would be the best choice. We're still looking for that first win of the season. We finished fifth in the spring race at California so hopefully we can improve on that.
"We've also got Petco on the hood of our car for a 3M promotion which is very cool because of my charitable work with animals. My dogs are big Petco fans and love to go there for toys and treats."
Eddie Pardue on racing at California Speedway:
"I anticipate a good run with Greg at California this weekend. This car won the pole and ran in the top five the entire race at Michigan a few weeks ago, so I expect to be a contender for the win. California is a great track and Greg always runs well there. We'd like to add to Greg's three Busch wins there this weekend."
Matt Kenseth
Team: No.17 Arby's Ford Fusion
Crew Chief: Drew Blickensderfer
Chassis: RK- 346 last ran Michigan -- finished second
Kenseth on racing in the Busch Series at California Speedway:
"California is definitely one of my favorite tracks. It's a track we have been successful at in the past and most recently this year. It was pretty cool to be able to sweep the first California weekend and earn the first Busch and Cup wins for Roush Fenway Racing. Bristol didn't go quite how we planned, but coming back to a track like California is a real confidence booster and I think we are in for a good weekend."
Crew Chief Drew Blickensderfer on racing at California Speedway:
"The team did a good job last weekend getting the Arby's Ford Fusion turned around during the race and handling well for Matt (Kenseth). California is a good track for Matt and they team is definitely excited to get back there and defend their win. If everything goes right on the track and on pit road we should hopefully have a similar result."
Jamie McMurray
Team: No.26 Dish Network Ford Fusion
Crew Chief: Chad Norris
Chassis: RK- 502 last ran Michigan -- finished 11th
McMurray on racing in the Busch Series at California Speedway:
"Racing in the Busch Series is a lot of fun and my team is really coming together. We have had two strong runs in a row and I think we can improve even more and pull off a top-five finish. You never know, we might even get a win before the season is over. California is a track I've done well at in both the Busch and Cup series and we are taking the same car that ran well at Michigan so I think we should be in for a good run."
Crew Chief Chad Norris on racing at California Speedway:
"We are really excited to get back to a two-mile track. We felt like we had a better car at Michigan than where we finished. We are just looking for a solid top-five finish and a chance to win one of these races soon. Also, the team is happy to have Home Zone on the car this week. It's always fun to go to the track with a new look."
Carl Edwards
Team: No.60 Sharp Aquos/3M Vikuiti Ford Fusion
Crew Chief: Pierre Kuettel
Chassis: RK- 427 Last ran Chicago; finished 20th
Edwards on racing in the Busch Series at California Speedway:
"I can't wait to run at California Speedway. It's a very fast track; very similar to Michigan with a lot of room to race. Our team has had a lot of success there and we are very determined to make a good run for Sharp Aquos/3M Vikuiti."
Crew Chief Pierre Kuettel on racing at California Speedway:
"California is another great track for Carl. Our team had a good run at Bristol last week and look to get our Sharp Aquos/3M Vikuiti Ford in the top-five at Fontana this week. It's a very fast 2-mile track that provides racing all over and that works to Carl's advantage. We have had several good finishes there and we plan on running in the front. We should be fighting for the lead by the end of the night."
NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series:
Saturday September 1
5:00 PM Eastern -- SPEED Channel/MRN
Travis Kvapil
Team: No. 6 K&N Filters Ford F-150
Crew Chief: Mike Beam
Chassis: RK-269-39, last raced at O'Reilly Raceway Park where Kvapil started fourth and finished third
Kvapil on racing at Gateway International Raceway:
"Gateway is a very unique racetrack. It's probably the track that we go to that I've got the most laps on. I've been racing there since '97 in late models. I like the layout of the track; it's flat and sweeping at one end, tight and banked at the other. You've got to find a compromise with the setup to get around the place."
Crew Chief Mike Beam on racing at Gateway International Raceway:
"Gateway is a challenging racetrack. It's different at both ends of the speedway. It takes a well-balanced truck to get around there. Travis has run really well there in the past, he's had three top-10 finishes in four starts. It's a tough track to get a hold of, but we feel like we're up to the challenge."
T. J. Bell
Team: No. 50 Heathcliff's Cat Litter Ford F-150
Crew Chief: Matt Puccia
Chassis: RK-308-42, last raced at Memphis where Peter Shepherd started 15th and finished 15th
Bell on racing at Gateway International Raceway:
"I am really looking forward to getting back behind the wheel of the No. 50 Heathcliff's Cat Litter Ford F-150. The team has had some really good runs over the past few weeks with Danny and Peter behind the wheel. I've been at the track every week working with Matt and the guys, and I feel that will really help our communication. Gateway is a challenging racetrack, but I feel like we've got a realistic shot at a top-10 finish."
Crew Chief Matt Puccia on racing at Gateway International Raceway:
"We're looking forward to having T.J. back behind the wheel of the No. 50 truck this weekend at Gateway. He's been at the track with us every weekend, helping with Peter Shepherd and Danny O'Quinn's runs in the truck. T.J. has raced here before, so he knows what to expect. Gateway is a unique challenge, but we feel like we've got a good shot at coming out of there with a solid finish."
Erik Darnell
Team: No. 99 Northern Tool + Equipment Ford F-150
Crew Chief: John Quinn
Chassis: RK-384-50, last raced at Nashville where Darnell started eighth and finished ninth
Darnell on racing at Gateway International Raceway:
"I've got a little bit of experience at Gateway, having raced there in ARCA and Truck Series competition. It's a unique challenge, because turns 1 and 2 are completely different than 3 and 4. You've got to find a balance to get around there. It's close to home, so I'll have a bunch of friends and family at the race. Hopefully we can get a solid finish for the Northern Tool + Equipment team."
Crew Chief John Quinn on racing at Gateway International Raceway:
"Gateway is a challenging place because the corners are very different. We'll try to get a setup under the truck that will be well balanced. We're not going to try to kill 'em at one end of the track and be out to lunch at the other. Erik knows how to get around there, and we feel like we're bringing a truck that's pretty well suited for the racetrack. It should be a good race for us."
ARCA Series:
Colin Braun
Team: No. 99 Roush Fenway Racing Ford Fusion
Crew Chief: Jeff "Lumpy" Campey
Braun on racing at Gateway International Raceway:
"I had a great time testing at Gateway. We ran about 100 laps during the test so I think I'm pretty comfortable with the track. Erik Darnell was there helping me out and giving me some good tips and pointers so we should be good for the race. I'm really excited about it. I can't wait to finally get out there and race with some of these guys. We've done a lot of testing but we haven't really run in traffic or nose-to-tail in any sort of race atmosphere. I'm really looking forward to getting out there in an actual race situation and seeing what these cars are like in traffic."
Crew Chief Jeff Campey on racing at Gateway International Raceway:
"We tested well at Gateway a few weeks ago. Gateway is one of the tougher tracks. Colin's road racing background should help him there since everyone shifts. On the other hand that's one more thing to contend with at your first race. Overall our goals are to complete every lap and stay on the lead lap. We are going into the race a bit conservative because right now the most important thing is for Colin to get seat time. He's very talented and I think he'll be great. I'm looking forward to the race this weekend."
* This will be Braun's first ARCA race and first race at Gateway.
* Braun tested an ARCA car at Gateway on August 14 with teammate Erik Darnell. He posted top-five lap times during the test.
* Braun is currently racing full-time in the Grand-Am Series with Krohn Racing. He has two poles, five top-five and nine top-10 finishes and sits fourth in points.
* At this year's Le Mans race, Braun was the youngest driver every to podium. At just 18-years of age, Braun took home a second place finish in the GT2 class. (He finished 19th overall.)

I had let my home go way too long and as such became embarrassed about having anybody come in and clean. When I put out feelers for a housecleaner Michael was the first to respond and even after sending him photos of what my home had become he still consented to clean, all the while assuring me that it will be okay and that I'm not the only person to get myself in the situation I had fallen into. As you can see from the my bathroom and kitchen photos Michael has posted it was quite a huge job. He spent one hole day in the bathroom scrubbing and scraping the tiles cleaning the sink, tub and bowl and washing the windows and mirrors (You can see how my bathroom shines in the after photo). Than he came back for another 1/4 day to attack the kitchen ( you can see the results as well). I recommend Michael very highly for his devotion to the job, understanding of your needs and excellent quality of his work.
We were extremely happy with the work performed by Mr. Fix It (Fred Kimmey). He removed a bathroom vanity, light fixture and mirror and replaced with new. He was able to trouble shoot and take care of the fact that the new unit didn't quite fit where the old unit had been. He made adjustments and completed the work. He left the area clean and took all the debris with him. We will be using Mr. Fix It again soon to install a wardrobe closet.
Jasper was on time, responsive, and did an incredibly high quality paint job on our cabinets and even helped us install new handles, knobs, and hinges in a short amount of time. Our kitchen and bathrooms now have a great new 21st century look (updated from its original 80's look and feel). The quote we were given was extremely fair. For the overall experience of this job - the only word that can be used here is indeed 'outstanding'.
Richard Hynes is a very detailed professional. Upon meeting Richard I felt comfortable about the project. We originally wanted to order materials for the project and he had suggested to me that he would order any materials and provide us with the receipts. Luckily we let him order the material as it turns out the ones we wanted to order were undersized for our project. Richard came and seismically retrofitted our home. He also helped us on our kitchen and bathroom remodels while managing the project the whole way, hiring subs, coordinating between myself and subcontractors and achieving the results desired. Richards pricing was 20% cheaper compared to licensed professionals in the area. We are so glad to have had his help, as the previous worker we hired from thumbtack turned out to be unlicensed at a cheaper price, but ended up costing us a lot more money in the long run.
Nicki has been the designer for 2 of our home remodel projects. For our kitchen/dining room/living room she created an open contemporary multi-purpose fabulous space that we love every day! She coordinated with the contractor on all work. For our master bathroom/bedroom and den/2nd bath--again she executed great use of space, color, and design. We loved that she got what our personal tastes and design style was. She created original designs, including custom cabinetry and tile work.
Regina and team were fantastic consultants on helping me figure out what I wanted/needed to do with a tile project in my bathroom. We ultimately decided to postpone the project, but their on-site consult and email communications were exceptional. I'll definitely hire them for the actual construction once we're ready.
At first when my husband and I thought about this renovation we never imagined it turning out this great. We feel a great weight lifted from our shoulders. We did a Kitchen and Bathroom remodel, at the same time, and it couldn't have gone smoother. I truly believe Shmuel treated this remodel as if it was his own house. The demo was done quickly and everyday my house was left clean. Every step I was notified of before, during and after which left me relaxed and happy. Shmuel his Great team and workers completed the job at time!
Maria provided excellent design for my bathroom, and personally shopped with me to pick out top quality materials. She also provided an excellent design for my future kitchen re-model. I would highly recommend Maria Billingsley from Studio MB for any interior design project you have.
I had two other designers over to help select the right wall color for bedrooms that have two different colored burl veneer furniture that I designed and had made. I've been performing house and furniture design for over thirty-five years and no one, including myself, had a clue as to the perfect room color. Rachel hit the colors right on the mark for the perfect contrast. The rooms are exquisite. Rachel has an amazing talent for knowing what works. I have referred her to my friends who also think she is impressively talented.
I live in a 1BR rent-controlled apartment which I love, but which (tbh!) needed a little love after 5 years of our pretty mundane decor decision-making and everything looking a little down at the seams. I wanted to spruce things up without breaking the bank (and with no painting or structural changes allowed, of course) so that continuing to live there felt like a joy rather than "same old same old". Kunjan came over to my place and did a needs assessment in every room. Then she built out some awesome Pinterest boards that suggested themes or directions or even specific items she liked for what I needed. Finally, we went shopping together a couple of times, taking pictures, discussing budget, and making decisions together along the way. Voilà: new light fixtures, new upholstery, new rug, new styling ideas (cushions!), less clutter in the bathroom and kitchen, new colour combinations... I never felt pressured into a decision or purchase and Kunjan respected my budget completely. This no doubt sounds clichéd but I feel happier coming home every day and when entertaining. Kunjan provided just the facelift my apartment needed!
Great company to work with .Jen and Joe are professional , do quality work and responded to my questions and needs in a prompt manner. I have been looking for years for a china cabinet and it turned out beautiful. I've now got 6 pieces I've ordered from Jen and Joe I get compliments all the time. Thank you Jen and Joe and California custom painting and design for all of your hard work and dedication.
We hired MJH Construction Management to complete renovations of our recently purchased home. With a wealth of knowledge and experience, MJH determined the best solutions to a number of complex repairs and additions including floor leveling, heating, plumbing and electric. MJH helped us choose several improvements like changing the floor plan for better use of space, installing a gas fireplace as well as a bathroom and kitchen upgrade. MJH oversaw the contractors to ensure the work was completed and billed correctly. Throughout the process MJH kept us apprised of the costs and schedule - there were no surprises. We are delighted with the results - our renovated house came out fantastic.
Casa Velvet is exceptionally talented with their quality of work. They go above and beyond when it comes to satisfying the customer's need. Paulina Carcach in particular was fantastic and would completely recommend her to anyone who is looking to get top quality interior designing.
Wow! Wow! Wow! Normally interior design comes pretty easy for me...until I had a space I couldn't figure out nor deal with. I contacted Forsyth Home Design and Matt came to the rescue. From the first consult to the finished project he was there. Dealing with contractors, color choices, fabrics, and coming up with built in design options. I highly recommend them for ANY interior project that you might have. Thanks Matt!
We hired Zephyr Arch to get the architectural plans and city permits done for our home (room addition project) They were very prompt in answering all of our questions and took into account our suggestions while coming up with the design. They also took care of the structural engineering requirement for our room addition project and got us the permits from city of Sunnyvale promptly. They helped us getting our HOA approval by answering some followup questions and suggested alternate options.Overall we are one happy client ! :) Thanks for the great job guys!
I hired Dane to design a bathroom addition to my condo. Throughout the entire process he was professional, easy to get in touch with, and very accommodating. His role been instrumental to this project. Not only were his plans beautiful and creative, but he was always willing to adjust my plans as needed when I thought of new ideas to consider. I highly recommend BuntonMousavi and would be happy to speak with anyone on the phone if you want to know more about my experience!
Mahya is a talented designer. Her design for my small and worn out 1970s kitchen is not only lovely, it also exponentially improves functionality. Additionally, Mahya writes well, something that matters to me. It is a pleasure working with her.
I moved into a tiny apartment in SF without a single piece of furniture. I enlisted Angela's help to make the most out of my small space and was so pleased with the process and the results. She acted quickly by scheduling a call, stopping by my apartment to take measurements and following up with a layout and project scope. We then, worked together to decide on a vision of the space. She sourced pieces, ordered them or in some cases, went to the store to pick them up. She was very hands-on and helpful. Decorating an apartment from scratch can be stressful but Angela remained positive and believed in our vision, which allowed me to do the same. Now my apartment is complete and it feels better than I could have imagined. From a design perspective, it is beautiful but it is also comfortable and functional. I am stoked. The final thing I'd like to share is that working with Angela was actually way more affordable than I thought it could be - she found great deals on furnishing and often received additional designer discounts. Working with her was way easier than doing it alone, the design surpassed what I would have been able to achieve and it turned out to be so affordable. Thanks, Angela!
I hired Jeff to draw up official plans for our bathroom remodel. The plan was quite detailed and involved knocking down walls and adding windows. Jeff was able to quickly create drawings that would pass the planning department in San Francisco. In fact, he joined me to make sure the plans passed over the counter. The project ended up working out nicely as the plans were clear and my contractor could follow them.
OpenBay Design worked with our community nonprofit organization to design a empty storefront space and transform it into gallery. As the storefront was a former tofu store, it had a lot of plumbing and odd fixtures that we thought were challenges to the space. However, they designed a functional and creative space to fit our needs ---to welcome visitors, and serves the dual function of a meeting space/gallery public space. OpenBay researched the furniture, lighting and was able to work very well with the contractor and with our budget. OpenBay has a keen, creative eye and listened to our concerns about how we would utilize the space, and followed through to get the project completed. We are extremely satisfied with the outcome, the process, and would highly recommend OpenBay Designs for future projects.
My kitchen/family room has never looked better. Heike worked on a reasonable timeline and within my budget. Out went old oak cabinets and a truely horrid backsplash - in came stainless steel and beautiful dark cabinets, a terrific (and affordable!) rug, a deep red sofa and new chairs. I have worked with several different designers, but I will use Heike because she was easy to work with, really listened to what I wanted and delivered a wonderful space.
