USING STONEWORK TO TIE TOGETHER A SANTA BARBARA HOME AND GARDEN

When these clients hired Grace Design Associates for their garden layout, they had just built a home and studio on Pedregosa Street in Santa Barbara, CA. But, true to its name pedregosa meaning “rocky” in Spanish the site was replete with sandstone unearthed during construction, everything from boulders to a large wall and curbs. The clients wanted all stone to be integrated into the landscape and any new stonework made to blend with the old. They needed to tie the new construction together with already existing historical homes in the neighborhood, some dating from the 1800s. As if those parameters weren’t challenging enough, the clients  recent Iowa transplants also wanted a “little bit of home” and a prairie feel about the grounds.



Grace went to work, using boulders and terracing to make outdoor “rooms” for different uses. A stone amphitheater  for proposed musical/social evenings  and fire pit are now central gathering places; fixed seating on one side allows for the other side to be used as anything from additional “stage” area to a spot to lay out sleeping bags. Near the fire pit is a cedar hot tub, close enough for enjoyment of the flames but distant enough to provide solitude. Plantings are simple, with lots of native grasses that not only conserve water, but are low-maintenance. Best of all, as the designers put it, “Every last piece of stone was used on site…and some were then ‘broken down’ to differing degrees to suggest a long history of site occupation.” Thus, “The garden connects the house to the site, the neighborhood, and the larger setting seamlessly.”

Eight years after, wife of the General Overseer of Omega Power Ministries, Port-Harcourt Rivers State, Evangelist (Dr) Nkechi Chinyere, has finally given birth to a bouncing baby girl.

Her conception and delivery have been described as miraculous by medical experts after she was diagnosed to be without a womb few years ago.

He expressed delight for surviving the insults of his elder sister who taunted him after discovering his wife’s medical status.

Two years after marriage without conception, Chinyere recalled his wife became worried, making him to direct his elder sister to accompany her to an undisclosed hospital in Port Harcourt GRA for examination.

She was pronounced without womb and declared incapable of conception, let alone delivery of baby, Chinyere remembered.

Armed with the vital information, he said his elder sister resorted to smear his wife’s name, even in the Church, taunting her as a man.

Chinyere said: “Today, Doctor Jesus has remembered me and my wife and also rolled away the shame and forever silenced our adversaries.”

The Church’s founder thanked God for demonstrating His power and sovereignty over the ministry once again.

He attributed the giant strides to God, his simplicity and willingness to follow divine leading.

PHOTOS OF THE SAUDI PRISON TERRORISTS CAUGHT IN SAUDI ARABIA ARE SENT TO.....ALL INCLUSIVE SPA AND GYM HMMMMM...

Islamic terrorists – some of whom fought and killed British soldiers in Afghanistan - caught in Saudi Arabia are to receive 'luxury rehabilitation'.

The conservative oil rich state is hoping to steer jailed al-Qaeda militants away from religious extremism with counselling, spa treatments and exercise at a luxury rehabilitation centre in Riyadh, news agencies there are reporting.

The luxury facilities, which the country has spared no expense on providing, include Olympic-size indoor swimming pool, a sauna, a gym and a television hall. More pictures after the cut....

Media representatives are given a tour of a new centre for the rehabilitation of suspected 'terrorists' and potential al-Qaeda recruits in Riyadh

The new centre, which is built on 76 thousand square metres and hosts suspects from 41 different nationalities has similar facilities to a recreational resort

The new facility is to offer prisoners a 'taste of luxury as an incentive to moderate their beliefs'

For those who have shown signs of good behaviour, two day breaks may be granted for those who wish proximity with their wives, in special 'suites' which are part of the complex.

The program will accommodate around 3,000 prisoners in 5 centres in the kingdom but it is the new facility in Riyadh, however, which is to offer prisoners a 'taste of luxury as an incentive to moderate their beliefs'.

All the centres bear the name of the current interior minister, who lead the government’s crackdown on Al-Qaeda within Saudi Arabia following deadly attacks by the group between 2003 and 2006 in which more than 150 Saudis and foreigners were killed.

During the crackdown, many militants fled south into Yemen’s lawless southern and south eastern regions where the network formed 'Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula' in January 2009 -- classified by the United States as the jihadists’ deadliest branch.

Luxury facility covers an area equivalent to around 10 football pitches and is designed to accommodate 228 prisoners from the 'deviant group'

The prisoners will attend seminars on religious affairs, aimed at teaching them the errors of their ways through their misguided thoughts of jihad

Prisoners will have access to special suites where they can spend time with visiting family members

The Riyadh luxury facility covers over area equivalent to around 10 football pitches and is designed to accommodate 228 prisoners from the 'deviant group,' the term used by Saudi authorities to refer to Al-Qaeda.

Each of the 12 buildings at the flagship facility will host 19 prisoners, who will have access to special suites where they can spend time with visiting family members.

During the day, the prisoners will attend seminars on religious affairs, aimed at teaching them the errors of their ways through their misguided thoughts of jihad.

'In order to fight terrorism, we must give them an intellectual and psychological balance... through dialogue and persuasion'” said the director of the rehabilitation centres, Said al-Bishi.

He said a total of 2,336 Al-Qaeda prisoners have now been through Saudi rehabilitation schemes.

But not all Al Quada inmates who go through the program become 'converted' to their rehabilitation.

In fact, the director of the centres admits in an interview with journalists that around 10 percent of those who go through the program go back to their terrorist cells. Moreover, there have been some high profile individuals who went through it before leaving and returning to even greater notoriety in Al Quada in that region.

Furthermore, critics in the region have argued that the religious instruction given to inmates is not moderate enough and is too close to many of the jihadists’ interpretation of the Koran and too close to Al Qaeda's own views.

MAKING YOUR KIDS STORAGE ORGANISATION INTERESTING

A child's interests can change as frequently as his shoe size. With all the phases he's going through, it isn't surprising that his room can easily become disorganized and cluttered. Establishing order in a child's room can be a great opportunity to teach your child how to keep his room clean and organized. Implementing some simple kids' storage and organization guidelines will help you and your child sort out the mess. With the right kids' furniture, you can create a storage system that gives your child a relaxing space all of his own.

1.       PURGE AND SORT: Because children grow so quickly, it may only take a season for them to build up a pile of outgrown garments. The same is true for toys and decor. Organizing her things means relinquishing the items she no longer needs. Box up old clothing, toys and other items for donation or sale. Sort the things she wants and uses into categories such as clothing, accessories, toys, books and decorations.

2.       LIMIT TOYS: To reduce clutter, you can limit the number of toys in a child's room to only the ones he or she still plays with frequently. Keep favorite or special toys where your child can have easy access to them. Donate old toys or store them in a closet or other storage area.

3.       KEEP CLEANUP SIMPLE: To make sure the room remains in order, it needs to be easy for the child to keep it clean on her own. Complicated organizational systems can discourage a child from cleaning up after her. Make sorting simple with an easy system, like one bin for large toys and one for small. Make sure every item has a proper place, so your child knows where it goes when it's time to put it away.

4.       STORE THINGS AND MAKE SENSE: The best way to make the most efficient room possible for your child is to keep each item in the area where it will be used. For example, keep clothing, accessories and a mirror near the closet or dresser. Store books and other educational items in a bookcase near the desk. Keep toys in a toy box or storage bins away from the bed, designating that space for sleep and not play. Anything used infrequently can be stored on shelves in clear, plastic containers for easy recognition.

5.       Give your child a say in the way the room is organized. Including your child in the organization process will empower and encourage him to keep it clean.

If you need more storage space in the room, you can purchase a storage bed or elevate the bed and utilize the space underneath the bed for extra storage room.

Kids love to climb, jump and run. To prevent accidents, make sure shelving and other top-heavy kids' furniture is secured to the wall. Fasten wall hangings to studs with proper hardware. Keep heavy items off high shelves to prevent them from falling on top of a child.

Organising space for the kids

Pretties on Display

Everything needn't be stashed out of sight for a room to be organized. A toddler's favorite frocks hung on satin hangers add a sweet touch to this little girl's room.

Playroom Perfected

This toddler's playroom is kept neat with an expansive bookcase filled with colorful bins. Toys and books each have their own designated spot, making after-play cleanup a snap.

Show It Off

Let's face it: Kids are natural collectors. So, it only makes sense to give them somewhere to stylishly display their stuff.

Room to Grow

Built-in bookcases add handy storage and display space for boyhood treasures while an aviation theme and queen-size bed will work for many years to come.

Built-in wall units are especially helpful in small spaces; a single wall with built-ins can replace toy boxes, bookcases, desks and trunks to create a room that is more open and clutter free."

Built-in cabinets, shelves and cubbies house stuffed animals, art supplies and toys in this little girl's room. When she grows up, the same storage will come in handy for shoes, bags and school supplies.

Family-Friendly Living Spaces

Family living rooms fulfill many needs. With multitasking amenities and customized storage, these organized living spaces are perfect combinations of lovely and livable with room to grow

Style doesn't have to trump storage. Creating a sense of togetherness is simple when kid-friendly features blend with livable style in your home's gathering spaces. Here's how to make a living room store everything and work for your family.

Storage Bench

Pack two functions into one with a storage bench. A cushion on top provides a place to sit, while cubbies below can be used for books or bins full of toys, games, or crafts supplies.

Console Cabinet

In an open living room floor plan, consider a console cabinet an essential piece. Position one behind a sofa that "floats" in the middle of a room and you'll have a spot for lamps to illuminate the seating space, a surface for placing drinks, plus plenty of storage.

Tiered Coffee Table

While the surface of a coffee table offers plenty of function, get even more from this living room staple by choosing a tiered model. Stack books and magazines on the shelf below, and use baskets both on and underneath the tabletop to corral other items.

Built-Ins

Invest in built-ins to give your living room architectural presence as well as an organized appearance. Frame a doorway with shelves, or consider cabinetry around a fireplace.

Nesting Tables

Nesting tables, usually in sets of two or three, stack together but can be pulled out for extra tabletop surface as needed. They take up less floor space -- ideal for small rooms -- but still offer room for storage.

Console Table

Like its cabinetry cousin, a console table adds storage but provides a different look. Baskets or bins can be lined up beneath for additional storage.

Hutch

Hutches, pie safes, cabinets, and armoires are stylish storage additions for more formal or traditional living rooms. These handsome pieces bring substance to a space while providing plenty of concealed storage for organizing necessities.

Coffee Table with Drawers

Drawers stacked beneath the top of a coffee table can conceal all sorts of items such as board games, remotes, magazines, and more. Since these pieces tend to be a bit more bulky than leggy, open coffee tables, they work best in larger or more open spaces.

Skirted Table

Turn a simple table into a storage gold mine with the addition of a skirt. For a DIY version, first cut and hem a piece of fabric to size. Then place hook-and-loop tape around the top edge of the table and attach the skirt. Slide storage bins or carts beneath the table.
