GPO Lite = GPO Finale Edition
Nick is correct. GPO Lite is included in Finale 2006.
We will soon be releasing a separate GPO Lite product which will have basic instrumentation. We are thinking of an introductory price of less than $149.
We'll post more about GPO Lite soon.

Thanks Gary - nice of you to respond - my needs are simple - It appears that most folks here use your fine PO to do large-scale orchestrations - My need is for just a few of basic orchestral instruments to sound real (piano, vilions, cellos, flutes, a horn, trumpet, etc.). It appears that the Lite will more than do what I need.Originally Posted by Garritan
Thanks again - I trust the Lite will be available soon!!!
This is a mystery to me. People keep calling me Nick or Nicky or Nicki or Niki. Anything but Nickie actually. Is it the old cliché about women not knowing anything about computers? I hope not - after all, we are living in the 21st century.Originally Posted by Garritan
My name is Nickie Katharina Fønshauge. Obviously "Nick" is anything but correct.
OOPS!Originally Posted by Nickie Fønshauge
I guess the assumption is that most of us sample-geeks are male! Well, there you are - never make assumptions!
Hi Nickie
At risk of thread drift, I had a similar name experience. Mine is Dermod Hill. Years ago, having missed the military experience, I decided to join the reserve Territorial Army as a private soldier in a medical unit. (After all, Vaughan Williams had been a sergeant in one). From the start, everyone from the commanding officer down, fell into the habit of calling me Dermod. I thought that was very democractic and admirably informal. Until, in the fulness of time,by when I msyelf had been had promoted to sergeant, one day a young recuit who had been chatting to me during a field exercise suddenly said, Hey Dermod, what's your first name? As a sergeant, I have to say, I was not best pleased.
Can we please not call it PO? Its GPO....
Sorry Nickie. My mistake for using a slang. There are so many aliases and screen names and I appreciate your using your real name.Originally Posted by Nickie Fønshauge

Exactly! It's Gary's PO - although I confess I am developing proprietary feelings towards it. It's so great.Originally Posted by newmewzikboy

MultiChoice Uganda's publicist Tina Wamala getting fired for telling a tabloid she's ready for a one night stand with any man - report.
MultiChoice Uganda's publicist Tina Wamala is getting fired, according to reports, for telling a tabloid recently that she desires to have a one night stand with any man that's ready for her.
According to reports, Tina Wamala as MultiChoice's PR and communications manager in Uganda "has always tried to maintain a clean image until few weeks back".
Tina Wamala was summoned for a disciplinary hearing, and apparently told she's bringing MultiChoice's brand into disrepute.
Why Tina Wamala - whose personal life is her own business - would make such public comments to Uganda's The Kampala Sun , who ran the interview on 14 January this year - is inexplicable.

By Parnil Yodha:
With the admission season heading its way, University of Delhi has once again become the buzzing ground. This time due to the staggering 100 per cent cut—off unleashed by one of the most prestigious colleges of this central university.
The first cut-off list for the admission to undergraduate courses in the university brought more shock than hope. The 100 per cent cut-off for non-commerce B.Com aspirants set by Shri Ram College of Commerce (SRCC) in the very first cut-off list sparked off debates all over the nation.
Kapil Sibal, Minister of Human Resource Development (HRD), slammed the college for doing discrimination on the basis of academic background, calling the cut-off as irrational and exclusionary. "Why a student who scores 99 per cent in science stream is not good enough to study commerce?" he exhorted.
The whole idea behind the perfect per cent was to exclude science students and abstain them from entering commerce stream. This whole virtual slamming of door on the faces of non-commerce students was done on the pre-conceived notion that all science students are IIT or medicine aspirants and they drop-out of college as soon as they make it to these, leaving seats wasted which could have easily been filled by some commerce students. But the biggest argument is that if a science student has both capability and interest to pursue commerce stream, is it right to deny him admission only because he happened to take-up science stream as a sixteen-year old? The college authorities must enligtened upon that all science are not IIT or medicine aspirants.
Overtly backing the idea of perfect percentage, Mr. P.C.Jain, principal, SRCC, said "We get the best students from across the country and getting 100% in the aggregate of your best performance in four subjects is no longer impossible in Board examinations."
But SRCC is not the only one with stratospheric cut-offs. Colleges such as Ramjas, Hindu and, surprisingly, even Keshav Mahavidyalya are not too far behind. For B.Com (H), Hindu College expects applicants to have scored between 95.5% and 99%. At Keshav Mahavidyalya, the cut-off ranges from 94 to 99%.Among science subjects, the increase in the first cut-off marks, as against last year, is as much as 10% in North Campus colleges.
DU Vice Chancellor Dinesh Singh blamed the fear of over-admission that was plaguing all the colleges due to the absence of pre-admission forms for leaving them with no alternative other than hike in the cut-offs.
The high cut-off will lead to innumerous problems in the country's higher education system. Firstly, it will widen the gap between the educational levels of the state boards' and the CBSE's pass-outs because even the toppers of the states have scored much lesser than the aggregate required to make it to some of the top Delhi University colleges. The Uttar Pradesh topper secured abysmal 92.3 per cent while the West Bengal topper scored mere 95 per cent. The condition of other state boards is of not much difference, either. But in CBSE, the number of students scoring above 95 per cent across the country is increasing every year as this year it witnessed an unprecedented jump from 1,202 to 2, o97. In the Delhi region alone, this number trebled from 288 last year to 818 students this time.
Secondly, the high cut-off will also widen gap between the educational levels of the so-called 'elitist' colleges and the other colleges of University of Delhi. Against the high cut-offs of elitist colleges like that of 96 per cent in SRCC , the cut-offs of other non-elitist colleges (like Ram Lal Anand had 80 per cent and Shaheed Bhagat Singh had 88 per cent) were quite lower in comparison. Thus, no wonder all toppers are from these elitist colleges. Hence, the students of these colleges get best campus placements. And then again the rat race to get into theses colleges starts, which further results in high cut-offs.
This altogether has triggered and facilitated brain-drain in our country. Due to the high cut-offs, students are compelled to move outside the country and then, they further even prefer jobs abroad.Thus, the talent drifts away from India.
Another way in which the talent of the nation gets neglected is that the students who neither make it to government colleges nor have fortunes to pay the whopping fees of top private colleges, would not be able to receive the quality education under expert faculty.
The main problem is that the number of students scoring over 95 per cent is increasing every year at a very fast pace but the number of seats available in DU has remained stagnant since past few decades. The size college buildings have remained the same since the time it were built.Thus, creating the deficiency of proper infrastructure facilities to accomodate students, if the seats get increased.
The education system of India need some immediate stringent structutal reforms, such as why only academic performance is given prime importance? Why is not performance in co-curricular activites given equal importance? Why are the marks the only criterion to give admission? Why cannot wehave group discussions and personal interviews to judge the overall intellectual personality of individuals rather than just measuring their academic performance through the marks obtained by them? These methods would be cumbesome but a lot more effective than the present system.
Education is not about scoring marks.It is about the overall intellectual growth of individuals in order to make them capable of implementing their knowledge about themselves and their ambience over life experiences and use it to take decisions in adversities. Education entails development of an individual as a responsible member of society at large. Education triggers out-of-box constructive thinking, not curtail it. Education solicits experimentation, not perfection. Education encourages to go beyond the firmly established perceptions of the society and discover novelty. Till the time we would continue to pay no heed in acknowledging this very fact, the education would remain constrained in the ambit of a mere rat race to fetch marks.
parnil yodha's report is very realistic. the ways to reform in admission system r very appriciable
So, I'm reading this in 2012. I have a 92.5 in humanities, and was ecstatic. But apparently I won't get a gottd college with English or History. LOL. FML.
I want to study in D.U., but even the highest in the state boards here is 91 or a 92%… isnt the topper allowed to stand in the race? if not, why?

Official spin from the World Travel Market: "Hot Seat: Writer Leo Hickman talks to Stephen Sackur following the release of his controversial new book The Final Call."
Some background: this is the first year that those not attending the London-based World Travel Market could see some of the happenings in real-time and I was particularly pleased to see a conversation with Leo Hickman, a UK journalist with whom I've been in contact for many years.
So I tuned into the live webcast delivered via Facebook.com and watched the hour-long conversation that covered a wide range of topics: golf courses, all-inclusives, trickle-down benefits. #Buzzwordbingo players, have a listen!
In this conversation, Leo comes across as the sane and sensible voice, capable of examining travel's pros and cons, particularly the impacts on local communities. This warts and all examination is a welcome addition to travel events and WTM deserves special kudos for creating an atmosphere welcoming substantive debate and discussion. Let's call this a benchmark and ask that other trade events match this effort in bringing critical voices to the forefront of such gatherings.
Reflecting … I found it a bit odd for BBC's Stephen_Sackur to call Leo's a 'lone voice' … odder still that the WTM event talked up the 'release' of the book four years after publication. Leo's voice is not alone in critiquing the abuses of the tourism sector, but rarely are these problems communicated by travel journalists. He (and later Cathy Mack) point out that one of the culprits is travel journalism. This is a topic near and dear to my heart. We need to focus some attention on the story of how we generate the stories about travel.
The only portion in which the 'hot seat' delivered a searing question was at the very end when Stephen asked if the WTTC and UNWTO were useless. Leo's response was on the mark.
The conversation ends with Q&A, including cringe-worthy expositions from the audience that weren't questions. Cathy Mack wins points for being the first to ask a question, something one enjoys in a Q&A session.
Kudos to Greentravelguides.tv for putting this online www.greentravelguides.tv/news/leo_hickman_interview_at_wt…
If there's a video on YouTube, let me know so I can embed this properly.
Frankly, I was also pleased as punch to 'scoop' the WTM, having previously interviewed Leo. He's one of my favorite writers (and twitter-ers).

We were lucky enough to hang out with fashion designer, Holly Fulton, to talk all things style and beauty, plus she filled us in on her brand new collaboration with Compeed…
Hi Holly! So what age did you start designing?
I began drawing when I was about seven but didn't really think I'd be a designer. When I was taking French class at school, I learned how to say I want to be a fashion designer like Vivienne Westwood! Then when I was about 18 I was sure I wanted to be a designer.
You mentioned that London was an inspiration for you to start designing, is there anything else that inspired you behind your collections?
I'm actually a dreadful hoarder so I have a huge collection of stuff and that's something that came from my parents – they're complete magpies! My mum was a librarian and she used to bring home endless books, and there were lots of antiques in our house. I had a lot of visual stimulation when I was young – there was always a lot happening, and I always knew I'd do something that was quite creative.
How would you describe your everyday style?
Sadly, now I'd say it's probably a bit lazy because I don't make as much effort when I go to the studio. I love wearing lots of jewellery, and I always have a red lipstick in my handbag. My style as I got older is still very colourful, super patterned – I'm always attracted to print. I've recently also got back into wearing rings.
So do you always wear a red lip?
Yes! If that isn't there, everyone's like are you ill?! You can tell something's up if I've forgotten to wear one.
Do you have a style icon?
I've always been fascinated by Joan Collins, I love her matching aesthetic and the way she's always very pristine and co-ordinated. An artist that I based my SS16 collection is Eileen Eagal – she was a British eccentric and I'm always fascinated by that mentality, probably because I like to think that I am one too! Her studio was described as being like a giant collage.
Tell us a bit about your collab with Compeed.
I'm always interested to work with things that are different to fashion and undertake projects in different fields because it's something I don't have any expertise in. It's great to align yourself with a brand or reader who has more technical knowledge than you do. Compeed for me is a staple thing for a lot of industry people, in terms of the practical side: it's something we always have backstage at shows, we have it in the studio for fittings, we have it if we're doing a shoot. It's something that was always around the label. That interested me from that point of view as being an essential and something women would have in their handbag. It made an everyday item for me.
We've seen you collaborate with brands like Simple and Elizabeth Arden, do you have any advice or tips when partnering with a beauty brand?
It's always important to have a common goal and ethos with any brand you're working with. There's got to be some sort of connection there, whether it's in terms of what you stand for visually or something that you can relate to with the brand. With Compeed, they have the caption 'Unstoppable Woman' and that to me insinuates a strong and powerful woman, which was our common goal. The worlds of fashion and beauty go hand in hand and are always linked, and it was great to create a vision that was outside of fashion with the beauty side of it.
What trends do you think will be big for SS16?
We had this thing backstage at the show called 'accidental intentions' – it was a trick with the hair when it was a little bit messed up so it looks like a bed head. I hope that will be big for beauty, leaving hair casual and natural. Having a quirk and something that was unique to each person has a really nice feeling to it. For clothing, I hope that everyone will resort to bright colours! For me, it's important to layer things – things that clash and contrast create a look that's a bit off and wrong in a sense. But if you have confidence you can pull it off.
Confidence is key! What other beauty essentials do you swear by?
Latest Stories
Oh gosh, I'm quite boring! Red lips always. I always have a matte red lipstick with me at all times. I love Elizabeth Arden's 8 Hour Cream, £27 – it's an essential. The latest thing I'm completely obsessed with is Bumble & Bumble longer lasting shampoo. I have quite thin Scottish hair which doesn't like living in London and it's got an incredible effect on my hair. 4711 Cologne, £7.70 is my go-to – I always have it in my bag, it refreshes and keeps me awake –especially when you've been up for 18 hours before a show! I also love the Avene Thermal Water Spray, £7 they're so good to keep the skin hydrated. Everyone in the office laughs when I get it out because I spray everyone when we're working really late!
Do you have any clever beauty tricks that you picked up along the way?
I love getting my eyelashes tinted! I also always make sure I curl my eyelashes everyday – it just really opens up your face. Cucumbers on the eyes too – a classic!

If you are like most service business owners I know, then referrals is where you get most of your work from. Yet you can't figure out how to make those more predictable.
Today I'm going to share with you a process that I've developed and used based on business practices that have been in the wild for decades, if not longer.
Whether you are just starting out or been in business for a little while, you have a network.
A network of trusted colleagues, friends, family, and individuals who you look to for advice.
You also have a network online if you are on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Snapchat, Instagram, YouTube, etc.
Why is it that you hear time and time again, to attend chamber of commerce meetings or local business events? It's because it's networking. Though in those meetings it's often hard to really get what you do and who your serve out there in an effective way. Most people are there to hand their own business cards out.
But those networking events have worked for a long time helping local businesses connect and find new business.
By taking that concept and turning it into something you can do for the 21st century, I present you with targeted referrals.
I want you to reach out to your network. Reach out to folks who do similar work as you, who are your trusted colleagues and friends.
Also, reach out to those people who you look up to as well.
Create a list of people.
Don't confuse this. This is a relationship building exercise.
Once you have the list, grab 5-10 people from that list.
What I encourage you to do is to reach out to them asking them about their weekend. Ask how their latest project went. Congratulate them on a job well done that you noticed them doing online.
This can either be done via phone, text message, even your social media platform of choice.
Create engagement with no expectation of anything else.
When they respond, continue that conversation and see where it takes you both. There will a natural point of the conversation where they will ask you what you are up to.
This is where you want to share exactly what you are doing.
Share with them a couple of sentences about a successful project or client problem you solved this week that you are excited about.
Don't bore them, keep it short. Then follow up with your positioning statement of who you help and the problem that you solve for them.
So this could sound like "This week I was able to help a client of mine land 10 new customers under their new pricing, which was double the number and twice the price than what they had last week. I love helping online business build better relationships with their customers through email marketing."
Again, expect nothing from this conversation. You are building the relationship, but more importantly, you are creating a circle of trust, a tribe if you will, of folks who truly understand who you help and the problem that you solve for them.
On the flipside, you should also be mindful of what they are doing, being curious about what they do and problems they solve for their customers.
Building a relationship that will continue to grow, but also when they encounter someone with a problem that you solve, they will think of you.
I've done a form of this for building my email list as well as with trusted colleagues and folks I look up to so that I stay top of mind when they encounter people who can become a client of mine.

October 2 is National Life Chain Sunday: a witness that saves lives
September 20, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) — October 2 is the 29th annual National Life Chain Sunday, and it's expected that more than a million people will take part in this peaceful pro-life street witness in more than 230 cities across Canada and 1,600 cities across the United States.
Participants stand by the roadside, usually from 2 to 3 p.m., praying for an end to abortion and holding signs that read: "Abortion kills children;" "Adoption the loving option;" "Abortion hurts women;" or "Life the first inalienable right."
A powerful witness, Life Chain saves lives — as Kathleen Rosilius can attest.
A member of Respect Life Ministry of Our Lady of Fatima Parish in Elliot Lake, which organizes Life Chain in the northern Ontario city, Rosilius recalled that some years ago, as the Life Chain was about to end, she saw far down the line "a truck pull in and three people come tumbling out."
As captain of the Life Chain, "you do worry that some people might get upset and harass the participants," she told LifeSiteNews. "I'm thinking, this is going to be something bad, so I went racing down there."
By the time she'd arrived, however, the truck and its occupants had driven off, but not before the driver had related his story: Seeing the Life Chain signs earlier that day had inspired him to visit his girlfriend right then, to try one more time to persuade her to change her mind about the abortion she had scheduled for the coming Tuesday.
And she did.
Overjoyed, the couple decided to tell his father "right away," Rosilius recalled, because he, too, had opposed the abortion.
When they told him what happened, "He asked them, 'Did you not share with these people what they did, because this is amazing?' … So he made everybody jump in the truck and they came down and told us that, indeed, we'd saved a life."
"I'm just writing a letter again for the pastors," Rosilius added. "I thought, it's over 20 years since we've been doing Life Chain. These people took the trouble to come back to tell us, how many people didn't?"
Sometimes, it can get a bit "frustrating" to return year after year for Life Chain with seemingly little to show for it, she said, adding that there can be from 20 to 40 pro-lifers taking part in the event each year in Elliot Lake, a city of about 11,000, on the north shore of Lake Huron.
"You think, 'Oh God, why do we do this every year?' I asked God, 'Well, give us a little something'," Rosilius laughed. "It was a big something, alright."
The Please Let Me Live pro-life group organized the first Life Chain in in Yuba City, California, in 1987, and it has since spread across the States and into Canada.
"Life Chain is a time for prayerful self-analysis, repentance, and serious commitment to helping end abortion in our nation," noted a statement on nationallifechain.org, headquarters for National Life Chain in the USA.
It is also "an easy way to get involved in pro-life," states Campaign Life Coalition, which coordinates Life Chain in Canada, on its website.
"Just find out where your local Life Chain will be held and who is organizing it. Then show up for one hour, stand on the sidewalk with others who are not ashamed to witness to the sanctity of human life, and pray for an end to abortion and for those affected by it."

The rite of spring (snow tire removal, not stravinsky)
Every year in mid march people start to get antsy. There's still some snow, but its nearing spring, maybe I should swap my snow tires out.
For those unfortunate enough to live where they don't understand the concept of snow tires, its simple. When the ground is cold, rubber is harder, and gets less traction. So tires are made with a super-soft compound and marketed as 'snow', 'ice', 'snow and ice' etc. But the upshot is they are softer at lower temperatures, thus getting better traction.
However, these super-soft gumball tires also don't have a long life. So you want to coax another year out of them by removing them as soon as feasible, and take the chance on 'one last big snowfall'.
Yesterday I swapped the snow tires off the bike. You may recall they were metal-spiked as well as being soft-compound and very wide. I gotta say, they were fantastic, I'm not sure I would be alive today if it were not for those tires. But, progress, its spring, its time to remove.
Its very weird driving now with nearly 1" less width and a whole lot less noise. Its not that the summer tires are quiet per se, but compared to the metal spiked monsters they are silent!
How about you, done the great swap yet?

Summer Salads, Part 3
This salad isn't for everyone because some people don't like their watermelon to be messed with. I like to try new things, however, and I thought this was awesome. It is a really great mix of sweet and savory flavors, and it is very refreshing.
Minty Watermelon-Cucumber Salad
8 cups cubed seedless watermelon
2 English cucumbers, halved lengthwise and sliced
6 green onions, chopped
1/4 cup minced fresh mint
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
In a large bowl, combine watermelon, cucumbers, green onions, and mint. In a small bowl, whisk remaining ingredients. Pour over salad and toss to coat. Serve immediately or refrigerate, covered, up to 2 hours before serving.
Yield: 16 servings (3/4 cup each). Each serving is 60 calories.

Notes: As I said, this salad isn't for everyone...but I really liked it!

Architects: Tuomas Toivonen / NOW office
Location: Saimaa lake, Finland
Photography: Maija Luutonen, Morten Holtum
Designed by architect Tuomas Toivonen and built by a local builder-carpenter, this house was made of simple and inexpensive materials mostly bought from local hardware store and sawmill.
All spaces are gathered around a large living room towards to the lake, inside is white, leaving room for the changing light and colours of the day, seasons and landscape.
Inspiration from architect:
The house is designed as a place to meet and spend time together for a multigenerational family. The plan investigates how architecture can be actively used by the inhabitants to moderate between a collective experience and individual privacy.

Replacing Storage Heaters
The most common reason for purchasing Electrorad electric radiators is to replace Night Storage Heaters. The Electrorad electric radiators provide absolute controllability of room temperature and operation times. There is no longer a need to try and predict the weather and be too warm in the mornings and too cold in the evenings as is the case with Storage Heaters. Both of the Electrorad ranges – Aeroflow and Digi-Line are suitable as Night Storage heater replacements.
The existing wiring for the Night Storage heaters can be used and the new radiators wired in to the existing fused spur points. The supply to the fuseboard then needs changing to receive standard tariff electricity instead of receiving electricity from the Economy 7 meter ( your electrician can do this ). The whole job will take less than a day and will leave you with a modern, fully controllable electric central heating system. For more information please contact us today.

Your Washington Desk:
Senator Johnny Isakson Responds to the President's State of the Union Address
Isakson Calls on the President to Act on Job Training Legislation, Trade Promotion Authority and Keystone XL Pipeline, Address Pain Caused by Obamacare
U.S. Senator Johnny Isakson, R-Ga., tonight issued the following response following President Obama's State of the Union address:
"America is not on the right track. Since the president took office, median household income is down nearly $4,000, job opportunities are less during this protracted time of unemployment, and the American people are concerned for their future and the future of their children.
"The president called for 2014 to be a 'year of action.' I urge the president to take action on several items, including the Workforce Investment Act, which I'm have been working on in a bipartisan manner in the Senate. TheWorkforce Investment Act hasn't been reauthorized in six years. We ought to pass this legislation to expand job training and opportunity.
"Additionally, we need Trade Promotion Authority granted to the president so he can initiate further and aggressive trade agreements around the world.
"Furthermore, we need to address Obamacare, which is inflicting a great deal of pain on the American people, especially in terms of higher premiums, cancelled coverage and fewer choices. Obamacare is also causing Americans to lose their jobs or forcing them into part-time employment
"Lastly, the crowning blow is the president's failure to sign the Keystone XL Pipeline agreement, which sits on his desk and would immediately bring jobs to America and promote energy independence in our country."

San Francisco fixer-upper makes it hip to be square
With its patched stucco, broken back window, rotting floors, cramped rooms and dilapidated 50-year-old kitchen and bathrooms, the house was perfect for San Francisco architects Eliza Hart and Stuart Wright. They were determined to stay in the city, but only fixer-uppers were in their price range.
It took a year of searching before they came across the modest tract home, built in 1959. "We were blessed - it was a total wreck, but it had good bones," says Hart.
They knew that with a few simple moves, the nondescript two-story box could become the modern house of their dreams for a fraction of what it would take to build from scratch. To save money, they lived in the house while renovating it in stages over four years; the final cost for the renovation was less than $200,000.
"In our own architectural practice, we focus on residential building that is high quality, custom and green," says Hart. "And besides being sustainable, renovations are a fun challenge because of their constraints - every decision has a logic to it."
The husband-and-wife team met in graduate school at UCLA, ended up working for San Francisco firm Sagan Piechota and started their own architecture firm in 2006.
From the street, it's hard to tell that the house wasn't born in this decade. The facade got a complete makeover: Wright took off all the stucco and put in western red cedar siding, with the care of a carpenter building a custom cabinet, and the corners around the entry are mitered, as they would be on a piece of well-made furniture. A long window box on the upper floor is planted with succulents.
The overall effect is decidedly contemporary, but the handcrafted aesthetic makes it warm and inviting.
2 major changes
To upgrade the interior, the architects made two major changes. They took down the load-bearing wall that divided the kitchen from the living room and replaced it with a ceiling beam, creating one big open space. They also created a small first-floor addition at the back of the house, so the kitchen and living room open onto a deck.
"That was the first thing I thought when I came through the house: 'This place needs a deck, a way to get outdoors,' " says Hart. The main living spaces have a panoramic view of the city below and are bathed in natural light.
Thanks to its inside-outside connections, as well as other design strategies (see sidebar), the house feels more spacious than its 1,440 square feet.
The cozy modernism promised by the facade is delivered through the interior, which features the warmth of natural wood throughout. The stairwell is clad in western red cedar, the kitchen has rich walnut cabinetry, and the downstairs bathroom - including the shower - has walls of birch plywood sealed with marine-grade shellac. The main floors throughout are white oak, an inexpensive wood, stained a chic black.
Custom furniture
Furnishings are sleek, contemporary and often multifunctional. Hart and Wright designed several pieces themselves, including a coffee table that splits into three sections, each opening to provide additional seating. The custom dining set they created has two side tables, which can also be used as leaves of the main dining table - handy for hosting large gatherings.
One of their fundamental strategies for making a small space feel large is the "single strong move," says Wright. "Sometimes people think that when you're dealing with a small space, small-scale changes are better. But one unifying large move is actually more effective."
For instance, the two small front rooms upstairs are the same size as they were in the original layout, but they have been invigorated with fresh paint: The back wall of the TV room is painted a bold red, and the master bedroom's back wall is a deep blue. Each room also has a ceiling pocket (a long niche right next to the window) that keeps all the drapery hardware hidden, making the ceiling feel higher. And in the downstairs office, the architects are saving up to put in a long wall of closets, which will also conceal a Murphy bed for guests.
The first-floor addition was the most costly part of the renovation, because it involved pouring a concrete foundation, but it allowed them to create a large home office space on the ground floor. It replaced a small, dark bedroom and now opens onto the backyard, newly landscaped with drought-tolerant succulents and natives.
"I have great respect for what the architects before us accomplished," says Wright. "It was a smart house for its time - it was uber-efficient in its layout. We just brought it up to date for how people live today."

Space-saving strategies
Eliza Hart and Stuart Wright were able to make some major structural changes to create more room in their home, but they employed many other techniques, both large and small. Here are some of their tips.
Pick a good fixer-upper: Small cottages where the entrance is in the center of the house are harder to open up, because they typically have a center corridor with bearing walls on either side. In this case, Hart and Wright had to remove only one bearing wall to achieve the open space that they wanted.
Radiant heating: By retrofitting the house with radiant heating - using heat-transfer plates underneath the second story's wood floor - the couple is more comfortable in the winter. But they were also able to get rid of the furnace and a large water heater. A small tankless water heater supplies hot water and heat. "We used the space for a coat closet, right by the entrance," says Hart.
Layered lighting: A mix of lighting gives a small space a depth and ambience that it wouldn't have with a single light source. In the kitchen, there are lights above and below the cabinets, as well as recessed cans that light the walnut cabinet fronts. Cove lights in the bedroom and TV room are used for ambient light.
Furniture on wheels: Pieces with casters can be moved easily, depending on how the space is being used.
Bright walls, big room: Painting one wall of a room a vibrant color provides a visual jolt without overwhelming a small space.
Customize storage as much as possible: A broom closet may actually be a waste of space. Hart and Wright built custom cabinets to hold many of their possessions, but off-the-shelf solutions are also available.

These words bring us comfort and hope. We need to remember these every day. By faith, we live; by love, we serve; by patience, we understand; by trials, we gain wisdom, by sharing, we give joy. Have a pleasant weekend!
A couple was driving the car on a country road. Suddenly a three legged chicken came running after the car, passed it and run into a side road.
"Wow!" said the husband, "Did you see how fast that chicken could run!" Shortly after, another chicken came and passed the car with a tremendous speed. The wife said "And did you see that it had three legs!"
Now they were really curious about these chickens so they decided to follow the road where the three legged chickens just went. Eventually they came up to a farm and to their surprise there were many three legged chickens running around. The farmer came out to greet them. Now they had to ask him about how it is possible to breed three legged chickens.
The farmer explained: "You see we are three in this family, me, my wife and our son. And every time we had chicken to eat, we all wanted the chicken club. So we tried and tried and managed to create a race of three legged chicken so we all could have a club!
Fantastic! And how does this chickens taste? "Well", said the farmer, "there is a problem – we still have not been able to catch one!
All we need is a little bit of everything and a whole lot of ISA.

Boris Johnson has urged the public not to "blow" the progress made in tackling coronavirus when lockdown restrictions are eased this weekend.
The Prime Minister said he hoped the reopening of pubs, restaurants and hairdressers in England on Saturday would allow people to enjoy themselves, but in a "safe way".
It comes as the Government announced that quarantine restrictions for people returning to or visiting England from destinations such as Spain, France, Italy, Greece and Germany will be lifted from July 10.
The US is excluded from the list of 73 countries and territories where English holidaymakers can visit without self-isolating on their return.
Mr Johnson said the Government was making "progress" in reducing the incidence of Covid-19 in England, but faced questions on why pubs were being opened on a Saturday, which typically sees a higher rate of alcohol-related issues for police and the NHS.
In an interview with LBC Radio, the PM was asked whether he only "hoped" it would be safe. He said: "It's not on hope, it's based on a clear understanding of the statistical risks that we now face as a country.
"We've progressed thanks to the efforts of the British people from an incidence of the disease at about one in 400 a few weeks ago to maybe one in 2,200 today.
"You're appreciably less likely now to be in close proximity to someone who has it than you were even a couple of weeks ago.
"We're making progress, we aimed for July the 4th, we wanted to set ourselves a target, we think we're in good shape but my message is let's not blow it."
Labour's shadow chancellor Anneliese Dodds backed the return to pubs as a boost for the economy, as she called on the Government to adopt a "targeted strategy" in extending the furlough scheme to avoid a "flood of redundancy notices".
"I have two small children, I have to say maintaining social-distancing at the best of times is a bit of a challenge," she said when asked if she would be going for a drink.
"I hope, however, people will be going out to make use of those new opportunities to support local businesses but of course we all need to make sure and I very much include myself in that, that we are following those guidelines at all times."
Number 10 said pubs will be allowed to open at 6am on Saturday. It is understood to have been delayed to avoid people drinking just after midnight on Friday.
In other developments:
– The number of deaths involving Covid-19 in the UK has passed 55,000, according to the latest available data.
– Mr Johnson said gyms would be able to reopen in a "couple of weeks", and vowed to try to get theatres going "as fast as we possibly can".
– The Prime Minister urged people to wear face coverings when in confined spaces with people they do not normally see, revealing he has one with a Florence Nightingale pattern.
– The Office for National Statistics said almost 20,000 care home residents have died with coronavirus up to June 12.
Mr Johnson said there had been "far too many lives lost in care homes" and that the Government would "go over and look at" whether an earlier lockdown could have prevented some deaths.
He disputed claims that people were pushed into care homes from the NHS to make space in hospitals, saying that numbers of people going into care homes fell by 40% from January to March.
"What we certainly wanted to do to was to ensure we had the space in the NHS, that's absolutely right, but what I'm told is every decision to move people out of the beds in the NHS was taken on a clinical basis and not in any way intended to endanger the care homes," he said.
"Whether an earlier lockdown would have made the crucial difference is something that really we will have to go over and look at."
The Government published its travel corridors list on Friday afternoon, listing 59 foreign countries and territories – as well as 14 British Overseas Territories – from where arrivals will not need to quarantine.
Greece was included in the list despite the Transport Secretary Grant Shapps saying earlier in the day that it would not be.
Ministers failed to guarantee reciprocal arrangements with all the included destinations, meaning some – such as New Zealand – will continue to order English holidaymakers to go into quarantine at the beginning of their trip.

Personality: Spottedfire is caring, kind, and sweet. She likes helping cats in need, and will defend her Clan no matter what happens. She is rather sensitive, so she gets easily upset if she is insulted. Spottedfire is very talkative. Once she starts talking about something, she won't stop until some cat asks her to. She likes being in a group while hunting, patrolling, etc. because she gets lonely very quickly. She likes helping the medicine cat, and she knows a lot about herbs.
History: Spottedfire was Clanborn. She was almost drowed when she slipped into a river, but she was saved by Blazingheart of CraneClan. The two fell in love, and they started to meet each other often. When Spottedfire told him that she was expecting his kits, he was frightened. Spottedfire gave him the one surviving kit after the other three were still-born. Spottedfire worried about the one kit, always gazing across the borders, looking for it. Blazingheart saw her, and brought their son, named Firepaw, to her. Firepaw reacted angrily, but quickly accepted the fact that a BrambleClan cat was his mother. Spottedfire begged Blazingheart and Firepaw to join her Clan, but both toms refused. Blazingheart said that 'he was loyal to one Clan and one Clan only'. Spottedfire pleaded, but it was no use as the two CraneClan cats went back to their Clan. Spottedfire was upset and refused to patrol the border between BrambleClan and CraneClan due to this.

A recent report broadcast on Israeli radio detailed the fact that approximately 50% of all of those who declared bankruptcy and were eventually freed from the clutches of the creditors to whom they owed money, within a few years found themselves once again heavily in debt and living a life of moderate to abject poverty.
The sociologists and economists who prepared this report had many reasons as to why this should occur. Partly, it is simply human nature and the fact that human beings continue to repeat past errors of judgment and behavior no matter how dire the consequences may be. Another reason advanced was that living in Israel above the poverty line requires a moderate degree of wealth. The cost of living here is high, even as far as the necessities of food, clothing and shelter – approaching the levels of certain EU countries. Also, it becomes apparent that someone who has declared bankruptcy is unlikely to be able to obtain the credit that would allow the breathing space to begin again.
And finally, there are people who apparently simply glorify in poverty. It has become a way of life for them and they spend their energy and time scheming, begging, borrowing, and pursuing welfare agencies instead of turning their time and efforts towards productive work, education or career. Whatever the reasons, and without casting blame or aspersion on anyone concerned, this is a serious personal and national problem that creates tragic consequences for society.
There are those who for reasons of their own – lack of energy, skills, social graces or even religious conviction – refuse to enter the labor market seriously to improve their financial and living conditions. I have only anecdotal experience with such people but, over six decades in the rabbinate I trust that you will believe me that I have met many such individuals. And very early on, in my experience, I realize that in many cases, no matter what I would do for them – aside from giving them money – would ever change them or bring them to try to be self-sufficient.
I am not a psychologist and certainly not a financial counselor, so I've pretty much given up on trying to reform such individuals. I have put them in contact with organizations that would help train them for employment and how to manage budgets and finances. But, in a relatively short time, most of them reverted back to a beggar's life and the crushing psychology of constant debt.
I have noticed that people raised in poverty and penury finds it very difficult to raise themselves from that type of society. I am reminded of a true incident, that of a father who, for all his life, came to people to beg for money. And when he passed away, the only asset that he left for his sons was a list of the people who had given him money. The sons could not agree as to how to divide this asset amongst themselves and the manner eventually was adjudicated in a rabbinic court. The tragedy of this situation masks the ironic humor that lies behind it.
The Torah contains two verses that, on the surface, seemingly contradict each other. On one hand it promises us that there will be no destitute person amongst all the Jewish people in the land of Israel. On the other hand, it assures us that there always will be such people that exist in Jewish society. Over the centuries there been many theories advanced as to how it is possible, or even if it is possible, to reconcile these two verses. Many have advanced the idea that the elimination of poverty is a goal and that the Torah commands us to pursue this goal just as it does so for other moral goals it espouses, even though it is improbable that the goal will ever be achieved.
The way poverty statistics are reckoned today, there will always be people below the poverty line even if they have substantial wealth and are living a comfortable life. Relative to those above the poverty line who are, in truth, very wealthy, they are designated as impoverished. However, regarding habitual poverty, we are talking about those who have trouble providing the daily necessities for themselves and their families. This is a very difficult problem for our society and will require an enormous change of attitude, education and societal structure to make headway in this area. We hope and pray that somehow this radical change will occur.
Shabbat shalom

High Friction (Anti-Skid) Surfacing
High Friction Surfacing (HFS), commonly termed Anti-skid, usually consists of 1-3mm calcined bauxite aggregate (PSV70+ & SRV65+). It is applied to a bituminous surfacing in two ways, as `hot' applied or a 'cold' applied system.
- `Hot' applied is a thermoplastic resin screed, consisting of a pre-mixed resin binder matrix incorporating calcined bauxite aggregate.
- 'Cold' applied is when a 'scatter coat' of calcined bauxite aggregate dressing is laid upon a layer of thermosetting resin.
Either buff coloured or mid to dark grey bauxite can be used, however pigmentation is not recommended if wishing to achieve a coloured HFS surface. As grinning/shadow usually results in time within the wheel tracks of the natural bauxite colouration.
N.B.Coloured Traffic Calming, Demarcation/Delineation Surfacing is covered in a separate section.
[Other types of performance proven high PSV aggregates can be used in the ROI]
Design Specification
HFS due to its cost, is installed as directed by the DESIGN MANUAL FOR ROADS AND BRIDGES document `HD 36/06', in minimum lane lengths of 50m and especially `Table 3.1' regards specific locations.
[ROI; TII Publications, Surfacing Materials for New and Maintenance Construction, for Use in Ireland; DN-PAV-03023 & Table 4.1 (formerly NRA HD 36/15)]
Northstone is the sole agent in Ireland for Ennis-Flint (formerly Prismo) surface treatments. Ennis-Flint Products have been developed for use on safety sensitive, high stress sites, such as busy junctions, sharp bends, roundabout approaches, pedestrian crossings and accident black spots. They are also used for surfacing pedestrian footbridge decks, approach ramps and stair treads.
Zebraflex® Type 1 (Hot Applied)
A highly durable skid-resistant HFS incorporating a premium grade thermoplastic resin binder and 100% aggregate content of calcined bauxite. Buff or Dark Grey colour available. It is hand applied to provide a 3-5mm thick SRV70+ HFS. Zebraflex Type 1 was the first thermoplastic material to obtain a Type 1 BBA/HAPAS* Roads and Bridges High Friction Surfacing System Certificate No. 00/H043.
*British Board of Agrément/Highways Authority Product Approval Scheme
Typegrip®HFS Type 1 (Cold Applied)
A more durable hand-applied system over Hot applied, also SRV70+ and conforms to the Specification for Highway Works Clause 924 regards a resin bonded HFS. But only laid during April – Sept, pending cold-wet weather and dew in the air as the resin is sensitive to moisture before curing. The system comprises of a two component modified epoxy binder and a specific graded 1-3mm calcined bauxite aggregate (Buff or Dark Grey colour available). It is recommended to be applied to asphalt for optimal results, but can with addition of a seal coat be applied to SMA & asphalt concrete/macadam, or to a suitably brush finished & primed concrete. Installation of the system should only be carried out when the road surface temperature is between 5 to 35°C. The system is BBA/HAPAS approved, Certificate No. 05/H115.
Tyregrip resin may also be pigmented and dressed with natural or pigmented aggregates to provide a decorative stone finish with good slip resistant properties (see the RESIN-BONDED Decorative Surfacing section for full details).Back
