Sorry for the lack of a post Monday. The last three days have been crazy at Defiantly Dutch World HQ, with actual paying work making its way across my desk, a visit to the dentist for Root Canal 2: Electric Drillboogaloo and the wife and I spending far too many hours shopping for and preparing the HQ for new furniture.
True story: Dante's original manuscript for his Divine Comedy mentioned 10 circles of hell, the last one of which was shopping for furniture. But his editors said 14th century readers didn't have the attention spans and were too busy arguing over global warming and fearing the day they'd fall off the edge of the flat Earth to read about 10 circles of hell, so he had to axe it to nine. I swear. I learned it in English class.
Anyway, for a little while Saturday night, I was worried root canal and furniture shopping had met, courted each other, fallen in love, gotten married, had a baby and named it Hofstra-Towson. I was suckered into spending the $5 for the Towson webcast of the game, and not only was it impossible to get in at 7 p.m., but when the game finally appeared on my screen, Hofstra was losing 12-2.
Worse yet, a few seconds later, I realized I'd paid $5 for a webcast that had all the quality of a basketball snuff film. I mean, seriously, I understand the need to create new revenue streams in this happy happy joy joy economy, but c'mon. At least make it so it's possible to tell the teams apart.
The webcast got no better, but fortunately, the Flying Dutchmen did in a 90-81 victory. (Also, nobody was hacked to pieces) All the usual caveats apply about how it's only one game and there's still 17 games left in the conference season and a whole lot can change between now and the next CAA contest and Towson, while solid thus far, is still a consensus pick to finish in the bottom third of the conference.
But still, if you're the type of person who likes to plan ahead and hates being rushed and likes to laugh at the harried and irresponsible and panicked, I'd go ahead and book a reservation on the Hofstra bandwagon. Cause it may just get as crowded as the Port Jefferson-Bridgeport ferry on Christmas Day (which, as a harried and irresponsible and panicked individual, I always make at the last possible second).
First Saturday of December and all, this was as thorough and encouraging a victory as I've seen (or barely seen) in a long time. We all remember Hofstra victories where the Dutchmen got hot from 3-point land—and the vaguely unsettling feeling engendered by those wins, that knowledge that somewhere over the hill, maybe even in the same game, there was an extended period of time awaiting the Dutchmen in which they went cold from beyond the arc and couldn't find another way to create some offense.
But such worries were minimal in the first half Saturday, even though all seven of the Dutchmen's 3-pointers came from two players—Cornelius Vines was 5-for-7 and Charles Jenkins was 2-for-2—and though Zygis Sestakos (0-for-5), Tony Dennison (0-for-2) and Nathaniel Lester (0-for-1) combined to miss all eight of their 3-point shots.
Typically, you'd fear the market correction on Vines and Jenkins, but the pre-season hope that this would be a deeper and more versatile Hofstra team was proven correct again in the second half, when the Dutchmen went 2-for-9 from 3-point land yet still scored 41 points.
More than half the points in the final 20 minutes were scored by the "bigs," including five apiece by Dane Johnson and Miklos Szabo (who hit one of the 3-pointers) and two by Arminas Urbutis. No one looked (or sounded) as good, though, as the suddenly emerging Greg Washington, who had nine points and nine boards in the second half alone on his way to his second straight double-double.
The Dutchmen also got a where-in-the-hell-has-THIS-been performance from Greg Johnson, who committed just one turnover in 22 minutes—one minute more than he'd played combined in Hofstra's five previous games against Division I foes—and was 6-for-8 from the free throw line in the second half.
Speaking of the free throw line, the Dutchmen were 10-of-10 from there in the first half and 25-of-31 overall (80.6 percent), a remarkable performance for a team that had shot below 50 percent from the line in its last two games and had yet to even reach 70 percent in a game once this year.
Other stats as fun as they are encouraging: Five players scored nine or more points, eight played at least 13 minutes and the Dutchmen outrebounded Towson 39-30. And despite the 90 points, it wasn't a perfect game on offense. Dennison scored just two points on 1-of-6 shooting. Darren Townes started but played just eight minutes—none in the second half—after picking up three fouls.
As good as the Dutchmen looked against Fordham and in spurts against Manhattan, it needed to happen against a conference foe to lend it an additional air of legitimacy. There's no easy way to beat the Dutchmen and they're nowhere near a finished product.
These guys are for real. Get on board. I've got a feeling the bandwagon is going to begin filling up pretty soon.

Opinion: Here Comes a Truck Load of Robert Mueller Indictments We've All Been Expecting
The Trump presidency has been plagued with a trail of criminal activity and subsequent investigations. Many Americans are anxiously awaiting the final chapter of this saga as Special Counsel Robert Mueller wraps up his investigation, which looks like that may be happening sooner rather than later as Mueller closes in on Trump's inner circle.
Former Trump adviser Sam Nunberg had several public meltdowns over the last week, which of course was all the mainstream media could talk about. The real story was happening behind the scenes where Nunberg was asked to testify before a Mueller grand jury. He was expected to answer questions regarding his communications with ten key members of the Trump-Russia scandal. This list is staggering.
The list includes:
- Carter Page
- Corey Lewandowski
- Hope Hicks
- Keith Schiller
- Michael Cohen
- Paul Manafort
- Rick Gates
- Roger Stone
- Steve Bannon
Let's not forget the most important one, Donald Trump himself. Any number of these people could be on the hook for criminal indictments, and it wouldn't be surprising if they all were.
It's important to note here that grand juries has one main purpose…to hand down indictments.
Bill Palmer points out, "Prosecutors always turn indictments into arrests or plea deals. How long will this grand jury take? That's up to them. We don't even know how long this grand jury has been in action before Nunberg outed it. But the indictments and arrests you've been waiting for are coming. The clock is ticking."
We expect Donald Trump to go even further off the rails as his paranoia and fear starts to ramp up in the coming days. He's in an extremely bad spot and he knows it.
Buckle up, Trump.

The Next Logical Step
you stood before me
presenting your body for my admiring
and it is worthy of admiration
few finer may be found
through much diligent searching
cavorting in the sun
God caused shine upon us both
in your beauty
as did I
and as I sat
rejoicing in your beauty
you gave your body to my admiring eyes
and laughed unknowing before me
I wondered
were I a bolder man
and not a Christian man
a saved man
though a weak man
but a lesser man
a fallen man
if you would be shocked
were I with you to take
the next logical step
or even if you understood
that from your actions
the next logical step
from my point of view
would take us to a bed
away from lovers scorned
where naked and alone
in unholy union
the joy your body promised
could be mine
would be
How many women would dress and carry on as they do if they knew that
the conclusion of the male in observing her is that he has received an
invitation to enjoy her body. This is not intended to condone rape, which
is a sin of an entirely mannish sort and without the female inducement that
is described here. It is to condemn the seduction that is the rape's obverse.
A great part of it is certainly based on the attractiveness of the observed
and the susceptibility of the observer to temptation, even in innocence.

Simply Put, Samsung Fails at Amateur Video
It's with relief that we can say successful online videos have evolved from the astroturf amateur days.
But Samsung must've been sick when that memo went out -- it's still stuck on that low-budget "Is it real? Can't be!" crap.
In its latest online effort, "Awesome computer comes to life," a woman at a trade show stops by the booth for Samsung's new mini-Notebook, the N310. Two Notebooks, side by side, boast the two lamest faux features imaginable: some kind of hologram effect, and the ability to give life to mischievous putty people.

MASS TRANSIT | SkyTrain Vancouver :: 25 Years :: 2010.12.11
PHOTO > Doug McKinlay
SkyTrain Flight Plan (1985) PDF
Modern mass transit in Vancouver is only 25 years old. That's an indicator of just how provincial this city can be. As the late Arthur Erickson, Vancouver's (perhaps Canada's) most celebrated architect once put it, Vancouver is a "hick town."
After defeating the pro-urban freeway movement in the '60s (Vancouver is the only major city in North America without a downtown freeway system), it took the so-called "Terminal City" until the 1980s to consider building a rapid transit system.
The impetus came from the Social Credit (Socred) government in power at the time, pushed by their grande dame, Grace McCarthy:
The Socreds wanted to "build the province" by constructing major infrastructural projects.
Someone came up with the idea of a world exposition to get things going, and Expo 86 ("Man in Motion – Man in Touch" later repositioned as a less sexist "World in Motion – World in Touch") was born.
The theme was to be transportation and communications, two things Canada used to excel at.
DESIGN > Harvey Thomas Prosser, 1966
The only major embarrassment was that Vancouver didn't yet have a mass transit system.
So British Columbia went to Ontario for help.
Grace (top), the Premier of Ontario, David Peterson and the Premier of British Columbia, Bill Bennett, 10 December 1985, the eve of SkyTrain's first day of service
At the time, the government of Ontario was keen on building people movers. They saw a big market for smaller mass transit trains that, elevated on thin pilotis, could snake through the congestion of the world's cities.
Vancouver bought the system and grew it.
That's how Vancouver's then-impending expo ultimately led to SkyTrain (Vancouver) becoming the world's longest fully-automated mass transit system.
Being a rapid transit freak, in the early '80s I trekked to the Urban Transportation Development Corporation's (UTDC) test track (below) at Millhaven, outside Kingston, Ontario, to have preview of the system (one of the world's first fully automated) Vancouver had purchased for its "fair."
What I saw shocked (HORRIFIED!) me: the trains looked like something a class of engineering students had mocked up using bits and pieces from buses and other moving objects. The seats were from my local bus, but alternating in blue and red (!), the colours of the Socreds.
If world expositions were about the future, and Vancouver was supposed to be showcasing the world of tomorrow, the original SkyTrain Mark I ICTS (Intermediate Capacity Transit System, later repositioned as Advanced Light Rapid Transit or ALRT) trains were a joke. Where was the industrial design?
Sure, the system's linear induction motors were then cutting-edge, but the trains were (are – about half of the trains currently running along the guideway are Mark I models) super ugly. Even the temporary Swiss-built monorail at the expo looked more superfuturistic:
(I have, however, always liked SkyTrain's original guideways — they are about as elegant as they could be given the engineering constraints, and they look great with daffodils and tulips):
It took a couple of decades, but the second-generation Mark II trains (below) are the future: they're unabashedly beautiful — sleek and sexy (and air-conditioned).
Bombardier got things right when the new trains were commissioned for the New Democratic Party's (NDP) Millennium Line, which didn't open for either millennium but which showcases the design talents of some of British Columbia's finest architects (see next post).
I won't go into the debacle called the Canada Line.
It's been open for more than a year and it still hasn't been featured on designKULTUR because I can't get my head around how bad things went under the Liberal government's Public-Private-Pork Barrel agreement to rush the thing through as part of the infrastructure supposedly required for hosting the Games of the 21st Winter Olympiad.
Let's just say that Vancouver uses toy trains for moving its citizenry: the Canada Line's platforms are about as long as your front yard. There's no room for the future and its growth requirements along that line.
A digression: Erickson declared in 1989 that Vancouver should plan for a regional population of 10 million and stop pretending it is a suburb. So far, Metro Vancouver hasn't adopted this attitude in its planning for mass transit. What we get instead are toy trains and tiny stations, not forward-thinking concepts.
But back to the past.
Eastbound SkyTrain departs Royal Oak Station in South Burnaby on first day of service, 11 December 1985
Vancouver's first experiment in 20th-century mass transit was launched 25 years ago today. It marked a decisive shift in the psyche of the city, one that further sealed Vancouver's reputation as one of the world's most livable cities.
The original Expo Line (the extension across the Fraser River across the magnificent Skybridge to Surrey opened in 1990) may have been a toy train with uniform stations, both pieced together from a kit of parts, but the evocative name SkyTrain is a keeper. It has that very-eighties' internal capital in the middle of the word (did MasterCard start that trend?), making it not just a concept, but a brand. Too bad it wasn't trademarked.
Happy 25th Birthday!
Brill Trolley Tour, Circa 1985. Imagine — eight days of free rides on what is now the Expo Line! By comparison, the Canada Line in 2009 just had one.

Jailed drug dealer battered con in Perth prison and broke his jaw in row over cold food
Perth Sheriff Court was told heroin dealer James Anderson broke Joseph Gilogley's jaw after he complained about the temperature of his food
A MURDER bid inmate was battered by a drug dealer after he stormed into his cell to complain about prison food being served up cold.
Heroin dealer James Anderson rained blows on Joseph Gilogley and broke his jaw during a brawl about the temperature the food was being served at.
Anderson, 39, had to be dragged off his victim by prison officers after brutally punching him several times in the head.
Perth Sheriff Court was told on Thursday that the confrontation was sparked by an earlier row over cold food being served in the prison canteen.
Fiscal depute Craig Donald told the court: "This incident took place further to an altercation about cold food being served.
"The complainer entered the accused's cell to have words with him about this matter."
He added: "The accused confronted the complainer in an aggressive manner and punched him once in the face and that caused him to fall to the ground.
"The accused thereafter stood over the complainer and punched him a further three times in the face. The incident ceased when prison officers took hold of the accused and pulled him off the complainer.
"The complainer suffered a fracture to the left side of his jaw and swelling to his face."
Anderson, from Dundee, admitted attacking Joseph Gilogley in Perth Prison on August 29 by repeatedly punching him on the head.
Solicitor Billy Somerville said his client Anderson was suffering from post traumatic stress after being the victim of a previous murder attempt in Perth prison by convicted hitman James McDonald.
Recent Stories:
In 2015, Anderson was violently attacked by McDonald in a blade attack. McDonald - who is already serving Scotland's longest term for murdering his underworld rival - got a further nine years for the attack.
Mr Somerville told the court that as a result Anderson was liable to fly into a violent rage during confrontations and this had led to him lashing out at his fellow inmate.
He said: "When the complainer came into the cell to have words with him - they were not on the politest terms - and he felt Mr Gilogley was being aggressive to him."
Sheriff Lindsay Foulis said he had no option but to add a further 10 months to the 66-month sentence Anderson is currently serving for heroin dealing.
Gilogley, 28, is serving eight years for carrying out an attempted murder at a car wash in Fife.

The pcd pharma company is intending to the issues and fabricated solid quality systems by conveying India‐specific mediations notwithstanding worldwide accepted procedures.
The mediations required a length of over three components of a decent quality framework, i.e., working framework, the executives' framework, and the individuals' framework.
Let's go through some of the noted points by the pcd pharma company.
Building capacities over all dimensions, especially at the central administration layer; utilizing developing advances to fabricate experiential preparing modules.
Addressing India‐specific social difficulties and fabricating a domain of proprietorship, receptiveness, and coordinated effort by the pcd pharma company.
Leveraging innovation to fool‐proof key procedures and execution the executives' frameworks to get a franchise for pharmaceutical companies is about some Indian pharma organizations are as of now hoping to recognize Quality Management System (QMS) dangers. And, the company is diminishing OOS and deviations through the sending of Advanced Analytics strategies.
Well, continuing to fortify basic specialized components of the QMS, for example, information unwavering quality, great documentation rehearses, process approval and examinations.
It is building operational brilliance to access the franchise for pharmaceutical companies. While the general expense of assembling in India is probably going to stay focused, efficiency in Indian pharma destinations keeps on being 40‐50 percent lower than the worldwide median. This introduces a critical chance to drive efficiencies and balance a portion of the cost weights.
While the customary lean applications keep on driving efficiencies, propels in accessibility of information combined with interruptions in computational power and progressed investigation permit pharmaceutical organizations to reveal new open doors for execution enhancements.
While by and large, the pharmaceutical industry slacks propelled ventures in the appropriation of computerized and progressed investigation, players who have just guided these applications have seen 10‐30% improvement in change costs, deviations, yields, and gear efficiencies.
The worldwide biotechnology industry is experiencing a change, consequently making empowering factors that can lead to the development of the Indian Biotech Industry.
India can assume a key job in decreasing expense and time to highlight for new medication advancement through redistributing of different segments of the medication improvement process. The pharma distribution organizations spend an expansive piece of their examination for in permitting new modules.
There is an open door for R&D centered Indian biotech organizations to go into such coalitions through synergistic improvement ventures.
Thus, incendiary, and infectious ailment section high is on the motivation for the Indian setting as these are the two of the most grounded infection portions with a gigantic local market. Look in the starting point time as the bargains are progressively normally contrasted with the center and late-stage bargains.
The Indian organizations with constrained money related assets can improve plans of action by joining forces with bigger organizations for medications' advancement and authorizing at a long period of distribution.

Reducing Inefficiencies with Optimized Document Solutions.
Reducing Inefficiencies with Optimized Document Solutions
CentraQ® Pro and Kyocera HomePOINT Business Applications Case Study
Managed print services can help an organization gain visibility and control of its printing, saving the organization money and boosting its productivity. However, legacy devices from multiple vendors can also make the print process inefficient, unsecure, and costly. This was the case with a local financial institution.
With multiple locations, this financial institution had over 45 legacy printers and MFPs from multiple vendors that were being managed by a managed print services program. Its fleet was a disjointed mixture of brands and functionality.
The financial institution's multi-step scanning solution involved:
1. Scanning documents to email
2. Saving the document to a desktop
3. Renaming the document
4. Creating a new folder on the shared drive for the document
5. Saving the document in the new folder
This was a laborious and inefficient process to follow in order to place documents in the network folders utilized by various departments within the company. The printing environment was equally inefficient, with a mixture of local and network print devices that lacked any kind of secure print release solution.
Confidential documents that were printed would be immediately released to a devices exit tray where the documents could be easily picked up or mixed in with other print jobs. The potential for compliance violations was substantial. In addition, users could not retrieve their print job from the nearest device. If a corporate office employee was at a satellite branch and wanted to print, he or she would have to contact IT to be set up to print to one of the branches' devices or print from a USB flash drive.
We were called to meet with the CIO and CFO to help the financial institution enhance security, functionality, and workflow, as well as meet requirements set forth in the federal guidelines and privacy acts. TTSG recommended Kyocera CentraQ® Pro print optimization solution and Kyocera HomePOINT Advanced business applications, as well as updating their current fleet with Kyocera MFPs.
TTSG replaced the entire fleet with 16 Kyocera MFPs, each equipped with CentraQ® Pro and HomePOINT Advanced to standardize the fleet and provide functionality to improve the financial institutions current business processes.
Kyocera's CentraQ® Pro provided secure release functionality that allowed users to print documents and release them securely by swiping their HID card from any device on their network. Users could also release jobs from satellite branch devices, which made printing for mobile employees simple and secure. The secure print release feature of CentraQ® Pro enhanced the document security for the financial institution while also giving it a more efficient and flexible way to print to any network device.
Kyocera's HomePOINT Advanced business application allowed users to scan into network folders, browse their folder tree, create new folders, and rename the document – all directly from the Kyocera MFP at the point of scan, regardless of the branch MFP they were scanning from.
Kyocera and TTSG brought an unprecedented level of efficiency and document security to the financial institution. Users can release print jobs from any HyPAS enabled Kyocera MFP or printer on the network, without compromising the confidentiality of documents. They can also access network home folders from any network-connected Kyocera MFP.

The Thread is an in-depth look at how major news and controversies are being debated across the online spectrum.
It was big: 1,900 pages. It was expensive: $1.2 trillion. And it was loaded with Washington's favorite white meat: more than 6,000 earmarks. But on Thursday night, it went the way of the rest of the dinosaurs: "The Senate majority leader, Harry Reid of Nevada, said Thursday night that he was abandoning efforts to pass a $1.2 trillion spending measure to finance the government through Sept. 30 because Republicans would not support it," reported The Times's David M. Herszenhorn. "Mr. Reid said he would work with the Republican leader, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, on a stop-gap spending bill instead. Senate Republicans also said they would not support a House-passed temporary spending measure running through the end of the fiscal year on Sept. 30. Instead, they want to develop a separate measure running only through the early part of next year."
So, who won? Let's go around the horn:
The President, according to The Times's Michael D. Shear: "Is President Obama on the verge of one of his most productive months in office? Far from being the legislative wasteland that some had predicted, this year's congressional lame-duck session has
Who does the blogosphere think won the great budget showdown of 2010? (Hint: the president.)
developed into an intense, make-or-break series of cliffhanger events for the president and his soon-to-expire Democratic majority on Capitol Hill … , the president won passage of the $858 billion tax deal he reached with Republicans and he appears close to achieving approval of the landmark nuclear treaty he negotiated with the Russians. Both political parties have grudgingly agreed to do whatever is necessary to keep the federal government operating by approving an extension of the current budget authority into early next year. And in something of a surprise, it appears there may be enough Republican support to provide Mr. Obama with a victory on a key promise: to repeal the military's 'don't ask, don't tell' policy that bars gay people from serving openly in the armed forces."
The G.O.P., according to Ed Morrissey at Hot Air:
What mattered to Americans in the midterm elections was a Congress that quit taking more and more money out of their pockets instead of curtailing spending. The omnibus spending bill died for the same reason, which was that accountability returned with a vengeance in November, and those who are left on Capitol Hill know that the safety of incumbency has evaporated, hopefully for good.
The Democrats voted for Obama's deal, but Obama's deal consisted of endorsing the tax rates proposed by George W. Bush in toto. Not just the income tax rates, either, but also the capital-gains tax rates that Obama insisted on raising during the 2008 campaign to either 20% or 28%. In the end, those tax rates got more votes last night in a Democratic-controlled House (277) than they did in the GOP-controlled House in 2001 (230), and more Democrats voted to extend them than Republicans, 139-138.
If that's a victory for Obama, may the next two years be filled with such victories.
The Democrats, according to Jeff Goldstein at Protein Wisdom:
Here's what's certain: the President has said in 2012 he will once again push tax hikes for "the rich" — so what the GOP has "won" here is a temporary extension of the current rates, with a tax hike on certain estates and a bunch of unfunded new spending, along with the right to fight this battle again come election time, with the Democrats adjusting their focus-grouped message to concentrate on tax rates going up for "millionaires."
That is, in the wake of an historic election in which the people overwhelming signaled their desire for fiscal responsibility, they compromised on a new spending bill with an unpopular President and a Democrat Congress with an approval rate of 13%. Had they waited three weeks and called the President's bluff, they would have gotten "permanent" tax rates and a defeat of the death tax — or else forced the Senate Democrats and / or the President to raise taxes on everyone in the midst of near 10% unemployment. Instead, they turned a socialist ideologue into a "tax cutting," compromising "pragmatist" passing bi-partisan legislation with solid Senate and House support.
Deficit Hawks, writes David Weigel at Slate:
It's extremely important that earmarking has become a more transparent process, and that it's now easy to call out members for their requests before bills are voted on. Look at the context, though. Earmarks are only the easiest way to nail members for doing what has never really been controversial — appropriating. Republican voters, and a considerable number of independents, don't want their representatives to shuffle around money anymore. The aggressive centralized government of 2009, pumping money into states and districts, is gone, and there's no political will to recreate it.
If a two-month continuing resolution passes, as Republicans now want, it would fall to the new Republican House to create a budget very soon. That means the new Budget chairman, Paul Ryan, will get the opportunity to start cutting back the budget along the lines of the roadmap he's been talking about since 2009. And there's no question anymore as to whether Republicans will have the determination to make cuts, or whether transparency and exposure will keep them honest about this.
Ronald Reagan, in the view of John Nichols at the Nation: "Supply-side economics prevailed—at least politically—late Thursday, as the US House grudgingly approved President Obama's deal with congressional Republicans to extend Bush-era tax cuts for billionaires, creates broad estate-tax exemptions for millionaires and shapes economic policies based on tax cuts rather smart investment in job-creating infrastructure projects, schools and an engaged public sector."
The Recession, according to Adam Serwer (writing from Greg Sargent's perch at the Plum Line):
It's the first clear sign that the GOP base's seemingly absurd obsession with earmarks is going to have a direct impact on how the Republican Party will approach future political fights over government spending, which are expected to be central to the next two years.
It's easy to dismiss the GOP base's earmark obsession, as I did the other day. But yesterday's defeat of the spending bill signals clearly that the GOP base may have some success in holding the Republican Party to its pledge to bring down spending — which could ultimately hamper the recovery.
Mitch McConnell, according to the New Republic's Jonathan Chait:
Republican moderates seem far more interested in procedure than substance. They favor repeal, but they oddly seem to care more that the Senate hew to Mitch McConnell's run-out-the-clock timetable than they care about the outcome of the issue …
Earlier this summer, Joe Biden claimed that several Republican Senators told him that they had promised to hold together on every procedural vote … I can't prove that Biden isn't making this up. But it sure would explain a lot. It would explain the fact that Republicans consistently gave up the chance to trade their vote in return for wielding significant influence over major legislation …. The end result was that moderate Republicans ceded enormous power to McConnell, whose overriding goal was not to advance centrist legislation but to defeat Obama. In any case, I think Republicans did promise to hold together on all procedural votes, and I think this promise was the whole key to the 2009-10 legislative session.
Jacob Lew and Gene Sperling, according to Steve Benen at Washington Monthly:
The dust hasn't quite settled on this one, but it's not too early to wonder how, exactly, the deal ended up passing after an angry initial response. I'd argue the turning point came during a Senate Democratic caucus meeting last week in which White House budget director Jacob Lew and senior Treasury adviser Gene Sperling offered a compelling presentation.
Vice President Biden had spoken to the same conference the day before, and didn't persuade members at all. A day later, Lew and Sperling pointed almost exclusively to economic projections, and went with a much softer sell — answering questions rather than giving instructions. It proved quite effective. After the meeting, much of the opposition among Senate Dems withered, and House Dems began to realize they didn't have the backup they'd need for a prolonged fight.
Not Harry Reid, writes David Dayen at FireDogLake:
The Dems will get legislative repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell, a couple judges, and probably the new START Treaty, and the Republicans will get the chance to massively cut spending early in the 112th Congress. If I'm a Republican, I take that trade …
While Reid played hardball after the fact, this is a classic Lucy with the football moment. There were two major things to move in the lame duck, according to Republicans: the tax cuts, and funding the government. They now got what they wanted out of both. For some insane reason, Democrats didn't insist on those two measures moving together, so Republicans couldn't pull back their support of the omnibus like they did last night. One could have been a condition of the other.
Instead, Republicans will have a chance in February of next year to set spending levels. The Democrats could have pushed this off until October, and could have written it into the tax cut deal as well. They failed to do that. And if anyone thinks that the result will not be a slashing of vital social safety net spending, take a look at how Reid folded last night, trading other priorities.
Interest Rates, says Simon Johnson: "If you honestly believe that investors will happily buy up any amount of US government debt (at low interest rates) for the indefinite future, then relax. The tax deal passed yesterday should make you happy … There is a well-established tradition in the Republican Party of thinking that tax cuts cure all ills; many in the Democratic leadership have apparently now fallen into line. We need to think hard about what our fiscal crisis will look like – and who will end up being hurt the most."
Gay Service Members and Nuclear Prohibitionists, insists Michael J.W. Stickings at the Reaction:
If DADT is repealed and START is ratified, wouldn't that be an incredible way for this Congress to bow out? DADT repeal in particular would be a major victory for the Democrats' progressive base (and of course also for civil rights), particularly at the end of a two-year run that was hardly all that positive for progressives. And START ratification would be a major victory for Obama's foreign policy agenda.
It would be hard to maintain any momentum heading into the next Congress, with Republicans taking over the House and the Democrats coming back to a smaller majority in the Senate, but two such victories in the wake of the midterms and the bleak post-election period would give us a good deal to cheer about as we head into 2011.
Lots of solid candidates, backed up by strong arguments. Still, the consensus big winner seems to be: The Obama Re-Election Campaign. Charles Krauthammer makes the case to fellow conservatives:
Remember the question after Election Day: Can Obama move to the center to win back the independents who had abandoned the party in November? And if so, how long would it take? Answer: Five weeks. An indoor record, although an asterisk should denote that he had help – Republicans clearing his path and sprinkling it with rose petals …
Despite this, some on the right are gloating that Obama had been maneuvered into forfeiting his liberal base. Nonsense. He will never lose his base. Where do they go? Liberals will never have a president as ideologically kindred – and they know it. For the left, Obama is as good as it gets in a country that is barely 20 percent liberal. The conservative gloaters were simply fooled again by the flapping and squawking that liberals ritually engage in before folding at Obama's feet. House liberals did it with Obamacare; they did it with the tax deal. Their boisterous protests are reminiscent of the floor demonstrations we used to see at party conventions when the losing candidate's partisans would dance and shout in the aisles for a while before settling down to eventually nominate the other guy by acclamation.
And Obama pulled this off at his lowest political ebb.
True, Rassmussen's daily tracking numbers more or less support that last claim. But perhaps the president's achievements make a bit more sense when you bear in mind the voters' view of the crowd he's battling with.

003 – Mindless Regis and Kelly Banter.
Josie was now convinced that something strange was going on. Not only was she stupidly kicking a tree that was much thicker and definitely older than she was but she was tearing up her foot in the process. As a voice spoke to her from behind, she hesitated. Her bloody house shoe fell to the ground and she turned around as if about to face a firing squad.
The girl was taller than she was, almost six feet. She stared down at Josie with curious blue eyes with blond hair that reminded her of those Loreal commercials. But this was no Kate Moss, or tall, skinny, untouchable, dainty fashion model, she could tell. If there was one thing her father taught her, it was that all appearances were sometimes deceiving.
And it also looked as if the girl had a father who told her this as well.
"You know," the girl said, seeing that Josie wasn't going to speak, "it would have been smarter to have been wearing real shoes if you were going to pummel the hell out of a tree."
Josie had to chuckle. She had to give the mysterious girl some credit for her wry sense of humor. After all, it had been a very amusing icebreaker. It was certainly more innovative than anything she could have come up with, especially when she had been running for her life the whole day without a crumb to eat. Her mind and body were running on empty. The needle was on E.
"Well, I left my real shoes with my real outfit at home," she joked back tiredly. She leaned down and picked up her WWII-battle wrecked looking shoe. "Unfortunately I can't keep a spare in my pocket. It'd weigh me down on my nightly Park run."
The girl raised an eyebrow, keeping up the mindless Regis and Kelly banter that broke the silence of the dark night. "So I guess these guys are your bodyguards."
Josie walked forward lightly on her foot. She stopped two feet short of her tall savior and peered up into her face with innocent eyes. "Actually, I was trained so that I wouldn't need bodyguards."

The story of Helen of Troy begins with the Judgement of Paris. Eris, the goddess of strife, angered at not being invited to the wedding of Peleus and Thetis tossed into the wedding party and apple inscribed "for the most beautiful". Paris, widely acknowledged the most handsome man alive, was asked to judge whether it should go to Hera, Athena, or Aphrodite. Hera offered Paris unlimited power, Athena offered him wisdom, and Aphrodite offered him Helen, the most beautiful woman in the world. Where the gods are concerned, the preferences of mortals and such minor inconveniences as prior marriages, don't really matter.
The Iliad doesn't state whether she went willingly or not, although most subsequent authors condemn her for wantonness, suggesting that she is traditionally viewed as having gone willingly. Since Aphrodite is the goddess of love, once Aphrodite had decreed that Paris would be awarded her, she really had no choice in the matter.

Do you want to make money while you sleep? With these passive income ideas, you can!
Having passive income means freedom to live, work and do whatever you want, whenever you want. It frees up your time to do more fulfilling activities and live life to the fullest.
That being said, having passive income doesn't mean you're getting paid for doing nothing. It may also not replace your entire salary (it's possible though).
It's really about leveraging your time and existing assets to create an income stream that's not tied to you specifically working.
I am going to answer that question in this post and share the best passive income ideas for 2019 that will help you to get paid after the work is done.

Before we go any further, let's talk about what passive income is about.
According to Wikipedia, passive income is income resulting from cash flow received on a regular basis, requiring minimal to no effort by the recipient to maintain it.
Traditionally, this may include rental income, dividend from stocks and even royalty payments. As you can see they all involve some sort of initial investment or upfront work to generate a return.
The opposite of passive income is active income. It refers to income received in exchange for a service.
These include wages, tips, salaries, commissions and income from business in which there is material participation. People who work for a monthly paycheck receive active income.
Earnings from driving for Uber and those from the gig economy jobs are also considered active income. So I won't be including any for them in my passive income ideas below.
While there's nothing wrong with earning an active income, the amount of money you can earn is limited by your time.
This makes the idea of generating passive income even more appealing to many.
There are two ways to earn passive income:
Generating passive income is easy if you have a lot of money or time.
For example, if you have money, you can buy up several properties and rent them out to start generating passive income instantly from the rental income.
Or you can purchase high-yield dividend stocks that provide you with consistent cash flow.
If you have time, you can write an e-book or start a blog. You'll continue to earn from the ebook sales or blog monetization after the work is done.
Unfortunately, most people usually don't have both time and money to begin with.
But don't worry, you'll find the best passive income ideas to try out regardless of how much time or money you have initially.
The passive income ideas listed below includes everything from easy which require the least amount of effort to ones that require the most.
While it's possible to make a good living from one passive income source, most people generate small amounts from several passive income streams.
So give several of them a go to discover the ones that you enjoy doing or that will make the most money for you.
This first passive income idea allows you to save money effortlessly for doing what you're already doing anyway, i.e. online shopping. Money saved is money earned!

Peer-to-peer lending is a method of financing that enables individuals or businesses to borrow and lend money through online services without using a traditional bank.
With returns in the 4-9% range, investing with a company like LendingClub will give you much higher average return on your investment than with any money market fund.
LendingClub lets you make micro-loans for as little as $25 in a single loan and buy multiple loans to spread your risk. That way, you don't have to worry about a single loan going bad.
Your money will help borrowers to start businesses, consolidate debt or credit card payments or improve their financial fitness.

If you have $25, you can open an account at LendingClub now.

If you have money to invest in real estate, you should be able to see the return on your investment quicker.
Unfortunately, because this is expensive and not to mention risky, it's out of reach for many people.
The good news is there's an easy and cheap way to invest in real estate without breaking the bank.
Companies like Fundrise allows you to invest your money in a dozen real estate projects without writing million-dollar checks.
You can get started with as little as $500 and invest in more than 48 real estate products through the real estate investment trusts (REIT).
You buy shares in the trust and they use your money to develop a variety of real estate projects. In 2018, their portfolio posted returns of 9.11%.
If for any reason you're not happy with your investment, Fundrise will buy your investment back at the original investment amount within the first 90 days of your investment.
It's worth noting that since this is a private fund and not stocks, your money will be tied up for six to five years depending on the plan you select.
That means you won't be able to easily cash out your investment anytime you want but you should be able to get a consistent income stream depending on your investment plan.
With Turo, you can rent out your vehicles online and via the mobile interface and make money from it.
You can let Turo determines the rates or set your own rates.
If you are worried about damage, Turo covers your car with $1 million in liability insurance and 24/7 roadside assistance throughout the trip.
Here's an idea. You can have the money going into a separate account that is dedicated to your car payment and insurance. That way, your car pretty much pays for itself!
Some people even choose to take public transport so that they could rent their car to others and make extra money.
Do you know you can make money renting out your unused parking space, garage and driveway? Well, now you know!
Thanks to the sharing economy, renting out your garage is a great way to earn a side income passively.
The amount of money you'll make largely depends on your location, whether or not your spot is covered and the type of spot it is as well as the number of hours your spot is available.
Large city garage spaces may rent for $150 per month and up, whereas suburban spots may rent for $50–100 per month.
Some services allow owners to rent out spots for other vehicle types besides cars such as bicycles, campers and boats.
Here are a few websites to get started:
Below are a few more passive income ideas that could generate a true life-changing income and you don't even need to invest a lot of money to start with them.
The bad news?
They may require massive time investment and tons of work in the beginning. And you probably won't make enough or any money at all during the first few months or even the first year.
If you decide to explore any of these ventures, consider doing them as a side-hustle on top of your regular job first.
Over time, as your venture gains traction, your passive income streams should begin to increase multiple times to the point where you no longer have to rely on your active income sources.
That's when you can truly make money while you sleep!
That being said, if you've got a passive income from an online business, chances are you'd have a lot of competition from people trying to grab a piece of the pie too.
So you'll still need to do some work to remain competitive if you don't want to see that passive income decline over time.
Starting a blog is one of the best ways you can create a passive income.
There are many ways you can make money from blogging.
Some of the most popular ways include displaying ads as I do here, accepting sponsored posts, affiliate marketing, or selling your own products or services.
Affiliate marketing is where you earn a commission for selling other people's product or service.
Truth be told, creating a successful blog requires serious effort, dedication, massive time investment and won't happen overnight.
Expect to make little to no income in the beginning. Over time, the income should start to trickle in and then it will snowball, making you six or seven figures per year or even more.
Then, you'll no longer be trading your time for money. Instead, you've built a way of generating passive income and it's highly scalable.
Blog income is passive because once an article is published, you can continue to make money from it from ads or affiliate links as long as there are readers visiting your blog.
If you think you're not a good writer, I myself is not a native English speaker.
Having no technical skills is not a good excuse either. You gotta start somewhere and most people learn as they go.
If you don't give blogging a shot, you will never know how it could truly change your life.
Check out my step-by-step guide on how to start a blog even without technical knowledge.

The course teaches every step in detail including:
Do you know that YouTube is the second most popular search engine behind Google?
You can leverage this massive audience by creating a YouTube channel, post some videos to attract viewers and start making money from ads.
Unfortunately, the reality is not as simple and effortless as that sounds.
In January 2018, Google has changed their ads policy in that one must have at least 1,000 subscribers or 4,000 hours of watched content monthly in order to qualify for their advertising program.
But once you've overcome this initial hurdle, you can make money from video ads indefinitely. It just takes time to build up your audience.
Instead of relying on ad income alone, you could:
If you love making videos, have an expertise or a talent, Youtube is the place you can showcase your creation to teach, inform and entertain others.
The cost to start a YouTube channel is free. You can even start recording videos using your mobile phone.
Who knows, one day you could be making millions on Youtube like these four dads from The Piano Guys.
Now, here's a complete guide to starting a YouTube channel. You'll learn everything from getting more views and subscribers to making money from you channel.
If you have an expertise or knowledge that other people will gladly pay for, you can consider creating an online course.
It's relatively cheap to start and once it's released, you'll continue to make money from it passively.
Like any online business though, you may still have to answer questions and update the course from time to time, so this is not truly passive.
You can use platforms like Udemy to create and sell your course.
The amount you can make can be substantial like this guy who made more than $60,000 in 30 days.
If you want to learn how to really create sustainable passive income on Udemy check out this course: The Udemy Freedom Blueprint: Course Creation.
Yes a course about creating courses!
But it's more than just a tutorial on equipment and software or basic Udemy 101.
It's a unique, comprehensive course with over 80 lecture course that will help you get real results.
If you are a good writer or have a specialized knowledge that could benefit others, you can write a book, or even easier an ebook to help generate passive income.
You can sell the ebook on your own blog and keep 100% of the profit.
Alternatively, you can leverage Amazon's massive audience and use Amazon's Kindle Direct Publishing and get 70% royalty on sales.
Writing an ebook is a great passive income idea because you will only have to write once, and then continue to sell the ebook indefinitely.
The royalty you get from an ebook is usually higher than that of a paperback and getting it to market is also faster.

This course will teach you:
The author will show you exactly what he did to become a 3-time bestselling author on Amazon so that you can do the same thing too.
Nowadays more and more businesses, website owners and bloggers use stock photos for their websites and marketing materials.
If you have a good camera and a decent photography skill, you can sell your photos on dozens of stock photography websites that will pay you cash.
Whether you take beautiful landscapes, portraits of people, everyday tools, food, animals or travel shots, this is another passive income idea to consider.
However, selling photos online is a number game. You need to have a sizeable portfolio of images before you can start generating good money.
You need to upload new images regularly to compete with other contributors and get noticed. Also, not every image you submit will be accepted for publication.
Once you get past the initial hurdle, you should be able to make more money from your photos with little to no maintenance on your part.
The amount paid for each photo varies depending on the platform, the type of license and several other factors.
On average, you could get anywhere from $0.25 to $100 for a single photo.
Here are sites where you can make money selling your photos:
You can learn more about how to start earning a passive income with your photography from this course: Earn extra income by selling your photos online.
By taking the course, you'll learn what:
Passive income is a topic of conversation for many who are trying to make money effortlessly and automatically. But many are unable to understand it fully.
Unless you have lots of money or time to begin with, you'll have to put in a lot of effort upfront and can expect very little return in the beginning.
Depending on how much time or money you have, or how many hours you're willing to put in, try to identify the right passive income for your situation.
The easiest methods which require little money and time commitment won't make you rich. But they are what they are, easy money.
To make more money, focus on one or two of the harder passive income ideas. Take the time to learn and really grow your passive income stream using them.
Ideally, you would want to consider doing things you will enjoy or are wanting to learn anyway. By doing so, you'll always look forward to doing them.
Getting started is usually the trickiest part. But when you know what action to take, and follow along with a few simple steps, you can do it.
Now it's your turn.
Have you tried any of these passive income ideas? Do you have your own favorite avenue to generate passive income?
I'd love to hear them in the comments!

Mariana Hogan
Professor of Law, Emeritus
As Mariana Hogan remembers, she ended up in law school because she was attracted to a career that relied on words and analysis. But somewhat to her surprise, it turned out to be the human element—listening to people's stories and helping solve their problems—that held the most appeal. During her first year at Georgetown University Law Center, courses in criminal procedure and torts were her favorites, and a criminal defense clinic, which she took as a visiting student at New York University Law School, proved to be the experience that led to a career in criminal law.
"I can still remember each of the clients I had in my criminal defense clinic in Manhattan Criminal Court almost 40 years ago," Professor Hogan says. "Representing clients who were relying on me was a formative experience, and it impressed upon me standards of practice that I have tried to maintain ever since."
Today, as a clinical and skills professor, she aims to give students a similarly formative experience that transforms them from law students to caring professionals. In 2003, she and Professor Frank Bress developed NYLS's Criminal Defense Clinic for that purpose. Professor Hogan co-taught the clinic until 2009, when she became Associate Dean for Professional Development.
The Externship Program is another place in the curriculum where students make the transition from student to lawyer. For more than two decades as Director of Externship Programs, Professor Hogan has been placing student externs with judges and lawyers. Student externs earn credit in courts, government agencies, public interest organizations, corporations, and law firms, where they take what they have learned in the classroom and apply it on real cases. She reports, "There is nothing more fulfilling than to see a student extern find the practice niche that challenges and excites them." Professor Hogan is the co-author of a chapter on judicial externships in Learning From Practice: A Professional Development Text for Legal Externs.
As a new lawyer, Professor Hogan worked as a staff attorney in the Legal Aid Society's Criminal Defense Division in the South Bronx on a caseload that included everything but homicide. As a public defender, she was in court every day arguing motions, making bail applications, plea bargaining, and conducting hearings and trials. She then moved to the federal court in the Eastern District of New York as a staff attorney in Legal Aid's Federal Defender Services Unit. Practice in the federal court further developed her trial and advocacy skills.
Those early experiences in state and federal trial courts sometimes resulted in learning skills by trial and error. As Director of the Advocacy Program at the Law School and a faculty advisor for the Trial Competition Team, Professor Hogan strives to teach students essential trial and advocacy skills in a safe environment before they are in court representing a client. She is a sought-after lecturer and teacher of trial, deposition, and motion argument skills at Continuing Legal Education (CLE) programs. She leads programs on advocacy for the National Institute for Trial Advocacy at law firms and government agencies and in public programs across the country, and she is a member of the faculty at the New York City Office of Administrative Trials and Hearings.
Professor Hogan is an active member of the legal community in New York City. She has served several terms on the Board of the New York County Lawyers' Association (NYCLA). As a member, and then as Co-Chair, of NYCLA's Task Force on the Representation of the Indigent, she was instrumental in the creation of a monitoring program to ensure competent representation for defendants who could not afford counsel, the Indigent Defense Organization Oversight Committee (IDOOC). Professor Hogan has served on IDOOC since her appointment in 2006 by the Presiding Justice of the Appellate Division Court in the First Department. She has also served on the Mayor's Advisory Committee on the Judiciary. Professor Hogan was recognized by NYCLA for her role in developing and sponsoring its Annual Federal Criminal Practice Institute, which seeks to diversify the panel of attorneys available to represent indigent clients in the federal courts by training women and minority lawyers for federal practice.

|One yard cuts & notions
|FQs in the box!
I cannot get a good one-time-everything-in-the-box photo, so here is a whole slough of pix so that you see what came in it. There are Tula Pink and a Horner "Crush" FQs in this pile!
|Half yd cuts and remnants
|Patterns, mags, & one book
I didn't take a whole lot. Well, I didn't think so until I looked at the photo - LOL!
|Taken: That's the beagle pattern glaring in the
right corner!
I took the 3 old magazines and book and replaced them with 2 newer issues and a recently released book, A Month of Sundays. I won the book and it was a lovely read. Since I am in de-clutter mode for the holidays, someone else can enjoy this sweet book.
|Added to the box.
|Also added to the box.
Then, some hexie samples from Paper Pieces, an AHHHHH (beginner hexie) from Hillbilly Handiworks, a quilt label, a ruler holder, and a some needle threaders jumped out of my drawers to the box!
The rules can be found here but, basically, you must be an active blogger in the U.S., replace chosen items with like items in quantity and quality, and be willing to move the box quickly along to the next recipient, although, allowances for the holidays will probably be tolerated at this time of year. Katie has some good hints for how to save money at USPS.com when shipping the boxes.
The giveaway will end on Thursday (12/19) at 9AM CST. Hopefully, I can get the box out of the house before the holiday house guests arrive. Please tell me in one comment what, if any, plans you have for New Year's Eve.
Onto other fun stuff:
After celebrating at our "so long" luncheon for quilty friend Cheri, who is moving, last weekend, I had such a headache that I didn't show you the goodies that came home with me. Now, lest you think that the headache was from too much imbibing, let me set you straight.
About five of us spent 3 hours walking the streets of teensy-weensy Kimmswick, MO, visiting 28 shops on the annual Cookie Walk. I had no idea there were 28 shops in that little town. It really wasn't too cold until the 14th shop and I thought, "why didn't I bring my earmuffs!"
Quilty friend Gale brought us all Thirty-One bags (above). I think we will all be bringing them to our sews days, they are that big, and have a zipper on top!
Then, while this was a luncheon for Cheri and we gave her a signature quilt which I bound last week, she made iron totes for everyone, ten in all. She enlisted Joyce and Elise in her work, too, by cutting, marking, sewing on buttons.
It took me a while to figure out how it folded together. Unfolded it becomes an ironing pad. Each fabric was different and they just handed out gift bags and waited to see who got which tote.
Quilty friend Charla and I are planning to do the Tonga Nature BOM together using our own batiks. The fabrics used in the BOM did not appeal to me at all, hence my not doing it in the LQS.
And, Charla had issues with the directions, or lack thereof. The pattern is pretty stingy with block construction instructions, both written and pictoral, and is certainly not meant for any beginner. So, we thought we would do a block together per month at our sew days. It took me a few hours to go through my batik stash and come up with this pile of 11 fabric families (still need a border fabric but that can wait til the top is done).
I've been doing little bits of work on Bonnie Hunter's mystery, Celtic Solstice. I mean little - like 3 or 4 units per clue. That will all change next weekend. I won't make any progress.
I had intended you show some, but some of my Flickr photos have disappeared, completely, atm. HHMmmmm......
We are hosting my husband's family this year - his parents for a 12 day visit (I won't say another word!) - so I have to clean up and put my sewing corner to bed while we have company. I will have to de-stress at the gym or by reading.
My stash numbers haven't changed. I put a little more into the box than I took, but it was mostly an even trade. I've been shopping the clearance FQs at Ozark Fabric Facebook group again but they haven't arrived, so I'm not counting them!
Used this week: 0
Used YTD: 119.763
Added this week:0
Gifted this week: 0
Added YTD: 147.625
Net used YTD: -27.862
I must get my MIL's quilt done this week, a little more FMQ'ing and binding. Please also check out some more stash reports at Judy's Patchwork Times.
Please enter the giveaway for the large flat rate traveling stash box. It might get to you by Christmas! What quilty fun!!

Merging Modern Design and Nature with Help from Pella
When designing a building in the middle of nature, sometimes it's best to step back and highlight the beauty of its surroundings.
That was the case for architect Kyle Page, founder of Brooklyn-based architecture firm Sundial Studios, when designing a family weekend getaway in the woods of Sullivan County, New York. Page took advantage of the opportunity to bring about a relaxing, rural solace that leans into nature while featuring elegant modern design.
The result: A beautiful retreat that has drawn attention, including a write-up in The New York Times real estate section.
Page shared his impressions about the process of building his unique home.
Photo attributed to Bjorg Magnea
"The building site is a beautiful and wild 19 acres and is less than two hours away from our Brooklyn home. The land is private and wooded, with a pond, wetlands, old-stone pasture walls and exposed ledgestone running down from the north and west sides. We placed an owl box in a tree about a tenth of a mile away from the house, but as of now, no owl has moved in. A blue heron occasionally visits, and once in a while a bald eagle will fish the pond. The deer act like they own the place."
Photo attributed to Bjorg Magnea
"The patinaed exterior material palette of rusted, weathering steel; blackened, rough-cut cedar; and the exposed concrete foundation plinth, which runs down toward the pond, were selected to absorb the building into its wooded area. And, the windows were sized and detailed to add to the dialogue between the house and the pond. The windows grow longer as they move toward the pond, and the south gable wall is just about fully glazed, and includes the custom grilles, which suggest the geometries of the gable form."
Photo attributed to Bjorg Magnea
"I have worked with Pella previously, and have always had good experiences with both the quality of the product and the Pella professionals. The aluminum-clad wood windows have remarkable durability. In this project, I went with the Architect Series because it brings a minimal style that fit very well with the look of the cabin. The thin profile and larger areas of glass look great!"
"It was a very easy process working with the team at Pella to have the grilles the way I wanted them. I made drawings of the layouts, and was provided shop drawings for review and approval, prior to their creation. It placed some additional lead time to the windows—about six weeks. But the end result was worth it. The professionalism of the team left me confident that it would be just as I envisioned."
