    Window getting ready to close - January 29, 2012 by Mr HomeBuilder

    With the weather having taken a turn for the worst, and the
    temperatures in and around Burnley having dropped alarmingly,
    it's the time when we could do with the windows well and truly
    closed.

    Football's window, the January transfer window, remains very
    much open and with only three days to go after today it's
    expected that, as is usually the case, there will be a lot of
    activity as clubs make their final plans for the remainder of
    the season.

    Often it's said that January signings are overpriced and not
    quite so successful as those made during the summer. Cast your
    mind back to a year ago and the two biggest signings were those
    of Fernando Torres from Liverpool to Chelsea and
    Andy Carroll who moved from Newcastle United as Torres' replacement at
    Anfield.

    Torres had scored 17 goals for Liverpool in 2010. He'd already
    scored 4 for them in January 2011 before his move. Since that
    big £50m transfer he's netted just five times for Chelsea.
    Likewise, Carroll's 2010 brought him 26 Newcastle goals. He's
    scored a total of six for Liverpool since they spent 70% of the
    Torres money on him.

    Maybe then, Burnley are getting it just about right by not
    involving themselves too much in the January window. Chairman
    Barry Kilby has often said it is not the best time to do
    business and if you look back we've been a reluctant player in
    terms of new permanent players.

    The first time we were restricted by the windows was in the
    2005/06 season. There were no permanent signings in January
    2006 and that was also the case in 2008 and 2009. The missing
    year, 2007, saw three players come in; the return of Ade
    Akinbiyi, Joey Gudjonsson and Steven Caldwell whilst the last
    two years have been exceptional because of the changes in
    manager.

    Two years ago Brian Laws came in to replace Owen Coyle and last
    year Eddie Howe was appointed with Laws having gone at the end
    of December, less than a year after his appointment. In both
    years there were two new permanent signings as the new managers
    took their first steps in shaping the team.

    Thankfully we don't have that upheaval this year and that has
    allowed Burnley and Howe to have a much better planned January.
    There have, at the time of writing, been two permanent signings
    but neither are new players to us.

    On the third day of the year we confirmed the signing of Kieran
    Trippier on a three and a half year deal, this coming half way
    through the player's season long loan from Manchester City.

    That signing certainly met with the approval of the majority of
    Burnley fans as did that of Ben Mee just two weeks later. Mee,
    like Trippier, was on a season long loan from Manchester City
    and he followed in his team mate's footsteps by signing a three
    and a half year deal with the club.

    Interestingly, Howe said that he is always looking at a
    potential permanent signing when he brings a player in on loan.
    Both have done well and Howe has got his men now long term.

    The only other business has seen some young players go out on
    loan and a couple of unwanted players having their contracts
    terminated while Josh McQuoid has arrived on a three month loan
    deal from Millwall to fill the gaps created by the injuries
    to Martin Paterson and Junior Stanislas coupled with the loss
    of Sam Vokes who's returned to Wolves.

    Howe has hinted that will be it, but is it? Will there be
    anything else? If there is to be we haven't much time. Tomorrow
    is Sunday when business is unlikely to be done and Tuesday is
    match day for the Championship and we've more important things
    to be looking at as we prepare for a game at Nottingham Forest.

    I'm sure he'd like to bring in more players, which manager
    wouldn't? He said that we can't afford it, and also stressed
    that we can't afford to lose anyone either. That, hopefully,
    has dampened all the speculation regarding Jay Rodriguez. How
    much longer Jay Rod will be a Burnley player we can only
    speculate, but I'm sure we'll all be delighted if he's still
    ours on Wednesday and I think he will be.

    There has been so much talk about Jay recently. A number of
    Premier League clubs have been linked with him and today Tyrone
    Mears, a former team mate, has suggested he could eventually be
    destined for a top four club.

    If and when Jay Rod does leave the deal will definitely come
    close to the club's transfer record, that of Steven Fletcher to
    Wolves, if it doesn't beat it.

    I also think Keith Treacy will still be here. Speculation
    mounted last week when it was reported that he was at the Notts
    County v Preston game with his manager. That was somewhat
    twisted. Yes, both were at the game but not together. Howe was
    with Jason Tindall.

    That immediately prompted suggestions that Treacy was on his
    way back to Deepdale with Adam Barton coming this way. Later
    news recorded that Treacy could be set for a loan move to
    Sheffield Wednesday.

    It's a strange one. The Republic of Ireland international has
    been in and out of the team in this, his first season at Turf
    Moor. He's started 13 league games but his longest run in the
    starting eleven is just five games. We've seen glimpses of what
    he's capable of and right now, with Stanislas out, he should be
    ensuring he gets in the team and stays in.

    Howe has rubbished any talk of him leaving and said: “Keith
    won’t be going anywhere. It’s important we reiterate our desire
    to keep the whole squad together. Everyone has got a part to
    play in the run-in.”

    Even so, I still think there could be just a little bit of
    business before the window closes on Tuesday night, and if so
    it must surely centre on Derry City left back Danny Lafferty.

    He's been with us this week and played in a behind closed doors
    game at Wolves. He's a left back; it's a position Howe is keen
    to strengthen so if he's impressed then maybe he will be our
    last signing of this window.

    Lafferty for Burnley - I'd better start collecting phone
    numbers again!

    Villagio to add office building to Bragg Boulevard site - January 29, 2012 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Another major private investment is planned for Bragg Boulevard
    by the developer of the Villagio luxury apartments.

    Fayetteville businessman Rajan Shamdasani unveiled his plans
    last week for a $3.5 million office building called The
    Palazzo. The three-story building, to be on vacant land in
    front of the apartments, will feature Mediterranean-style
    stucco, a rooftop garden with palm trees and a cupola.

    The upscale building would be in sharp contrast to much of the
    boulevard's landscape of used car dealers, older storefronts
    and empty lots north of Sycamore Dairy Road.

    Shamdasani opened the Villagio apartments last fall. The
    Italian-inspired complex is a $20 million investment, separate
    from the commercial building being proposed.

    In 2009, the city and county awarded tax incentives for the
    apartment complex with a combined worth of about $500,000 over
    five years. Local officials hope the residential project sparks
    a revitalization to the boulevard corridor.

    Shamdasani said he'll apply for additional tax incentives for
    The Palazzo. He hopes to start construction by the end of this
    year. The building will have 31,300 square feet.

    "This building will only enhance the value of what we are doing
    out there and what we are seeing happening on Bragg Boulevard,"
    said Shamdasani, president of American Uniform Sales.

    Already, "for sale" signs have begun popping up along the
    boulevard in the vicinity of Villagio.

    Ranny Nimocks, a commercial real estate agent who has property
    listed on the boulevard, said any new construction has a
    positive impact on property values and attracts other
    development.

    The first phase of Villagio was completed last year. Of the 105
    available units, 81 have been leased, Shamdasani said. Monthly
    rents range from $770 to $1,420. Construction on a second phase
    is expected to begin this summer, with two buildings and a
    total of 132 units.

    Last year, Shamdasani solicited five designs from three firms
    for his commercial building. He received input from people in
    the community and those affiliated with the
    Fayetteville-Cumberland County Chamber of Commerce. They helped
    him select the winning design and name.

    "It was my favorite choice," Shamdasani said.

    He said he has a pending lease contract for the third floor
    penthouse office, and he is looking to lease or sell other
    space in the office building. The cupola is an ode to the
    Market House, he said.

    Mixed media artist Sybil Hill visits Vail for exhibit - January 28, 2012 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Painter Sybil Hill is trying to move the American flags from
    front porches to family rooms. The American Legion donated more
    than 100 feathered and worn flags to her, which she uses to make
    her artwork.

    “I'm preserving them in my own way, by incorporating them into
    my pieces,” Hill said.

    She handles each flag with infinite care, covering it with rice
    paper before she begins to paint on top of it.

    The resulting pieces are very textured and layered.

    “People are curious about her pieces because of the texture,”
    said Rayla Kundolf of Masters Gallery.

    The flags, and horses, are both reoccurring themes in Hill's
    work.

    “The horse is a metaphor for beauty, freedom, mystical
    thoughts, and also a timeless force of our own spirit,” Hill
    writes on her artist bio.

    While the unique texture initially draws gallery visitors to
    Hill's work, they often find a deeper meaning within.

    “They love the patriotism and power that the flags represent
    and then with the image of the horse, that adds to the
    strength; (it) just resonates with people, not just Americans
    but people all over the world,” Kundolf said.

    “I like the emotional connection that people have with her
    pieces, the rustic elements and raw honesty in the simple
    images,” she continued.

    Hill will be at Masters Gallery Friday and Saturday for an
    exhibit of her work. Masters Gallery has carried her work since
    July; she also has work in galleries in Dallas, Park City,
    Utah and Jackson Hole, Wyoming.

    Old wood, from fences and churches, is often the base of Hill's
    paintings. She finishes most of her pieces with surfboard
    resin, giving it a high gloss, chic look. On the back of each
    piece, she puts a star, a dollar sign and a heart.

    “The star is for spirit, the dollar sign is for prosperity and
    the heart is for love,” Hill said. “They're simple symbols, but
    they mean something. I like to put that out there. If you draw
    a picture of a skull and dark things, you feel darkness coming
    from it. I really believe that.”

    Hill grew up in Dallas and now lives in Carbondale with her
    10-year-old daughter.

    “We get to see lots of wild life. I saw a golden eagle in my
    back yard and now I'm painting a bald eagle for the show,” she
    said.

    In her former life, she managed high end retail stores, like
    Ralph Lauren, in both Aspen and New York City, and was an art
    dealer.

    When her daughter was born, she wanted to be home with her and
    she soon started painting.

    “My work has a lot of Ralph Lauren influence in it,” Hill said.
    “Watching horses running free, or a flag blowing in the wind,
    those images moved me throughout my entire life.”

    In the last eight years, she's sold more than 400 paintings,
    she said.

    “They started selling right from the start,” she said. “It was
    meant to be.”

    Recently Hill got a letter from a woman who had bought a
    painting called “Unconditional Love,” of a mother horse and her
    mare.

    “She bought if for her son who was diagnosed with a rare blood
    disease. She told me ‘this painting has hung outside of my
    son's hospital room and has meant so much to us.' Her husband
    was off in the military. Those are the things that make me
    grateful. I'm able to support myself and I have this amazing
    freedom to give back. Hopefully everyone one day will find
    their gift.”

    The changing face of town houses - January 28, 2012 by Mr HomeBuilder





    As the number of town houses in Seattle-area neighborhoods has
    mushroomed in recent years, one particular design feature has
    caught the eye of many a homebuyer and neighbor; the
    "auto-court" parking area around which some town houses are
    clustered.

    With a central, cavelike driveway, often shaded by the town
    houses' upper floors extending overhead, auto courts typically
    consist of two rows of Smart Car-sized garages.

    Rishad Quazi lives in a town-house complex with auto-court
    parking in the Broadview neighborhood of Seattle.

    He is happy with his home, particularly the relatively large
    back yard, which he estimated at about 20-by-30 feet, the
    newness of the home when he moved in, and the fact that his is
    an end unit, with only one wall adjoining another home.

    Quazi parks his car in his garage, though he said that it was
    tricky at first to maneuver his vehicle — at the time a Hyundai
    hatchback — into the small space.

    "I scratched it on both sides before I figured out my correct
    angle of approach and my proper visual markers to get the car
    in correctly," he said.

    Some of his neighbors choose to park on the street, he said,
    due to the tight configuration of their auto court.

    The high cost of land, the push toward density, and earlier
    building code requiring off-street parking have all contributed
    to the proliferation of auto-court town-house development.

    Town houses are meant to squeeze more dwellings into tight
    places. Taking up less space means that town houses are more
    attractively priced compared with free-standing homes.

    For example, an upscale three-bedroom, three-bath,
    1,730-square-foot town house built in 2006 in Fremont was
    recently listed for $479,000.

    It's on a block where the land alone under a single-family
    house was assessed for a higher amount, according to county
    property-tax records.

    Though popular for their affordability and relatively new
    construction, town-house design sometimes has appeared more
    awkward than functional.

    A recent building code update in Seattle intends to change
    this, by favoring features such as front porches and common
    outdoor space instead of auto courts.

    The Seattle City Council last year updated its
    multifamily-building code with new rules and incentives that
    steer development away from the auto-court style of town house
    and toward row houses, cottages, and apartments.

    In place of car-oriented auto courts, the code update
    encourages visible pedestrian entry doors and more windows
    facing the street. These features aim to connect homes and
    their residents with neighbors and communities.

    In addition, a system of "floor-area ratio" incentives allows
    the building of slightly larger units on the same size lot if
    developers choose dwelling types other than auto-court town
    houses.

    The code update also allows common outdoor space in town-house
    complexes, rather than requiring individual, enclosed yards.
    And in certain areas with frequent transit service, multifamily
    complexes do not have to include parking for each unit.

    To arrive at its final update, the council took feedback from
    the public. Councilmember Sally Clark hosted a neighborhood
    forum in 2008 titled "Townhomes — Can the Patient be Saved?"
    and drew on input from neighborhood groups and developers.

    Among citizens speaking up was Bill Zosel, a resident of
    central Seattle's Squire Park neighborhood. He felt too many
    formulaic, auto-court style town houses were popping up in his
    community. He brought to Clark at another meeting a photo of an
    auto-court development with a red circle around it and diagonal
    line striking through it; the graphic symbol for "No."

    Interviewed recently, Zosel said he objected to what he called
    the auto-court town houses' "diminished relationship to the
    street."

    Most of the existing single-family homes in his neighborhood,
    he said, have "useful front doors and ground-level living space
    facing the street." By contrast, the only visible entrance to
    many auto-court complexes is the driveway.

    Some areas outside Seattle have stricter rules regarding town
    house developments. Snohomish County updated its multifamily
    code in 2009 with new design standards that aim to foster
    attractive streetscapes and architectural design that blends
    into existing neighborhoods.

    The code update was written "with Seattle's auto-court issue in
    mind," said Clay White, director of Snohomish County Planning
    and Development Services.

    Under the new standards, "auto-court style town houses cannot
    be developed" he said.

    Auto courts have been much less of an issue in Bellevue. The
    city has not experienced the same proliferation of auto-court
    town-house projects as Seattle has, according to Carol Helland,
    Bellevue's land-use director, who said: "We've had relatively
    robust design expectations in place for some time."

    Such design concerns, however, aren't necessarily a priority
    for many people who buy town houses. Price, location and newer
    construction are what count.

    Meredith Spacie and her husband, Tom, bought their auto-court
    town house in Seattle's Fremont neighborhood in 2008, though
    they did not set out looking for a town house in particular.

    "Our most important element was neighborhood and location and
    not having to do any work on the house before it was
    satisfactorily livable," Spacie said. "There were really no
    single-family homes in our price range that fit those
    characteristics."

    Based on what she recalled seeing at the time, Spacie estimated
    they paid at least $100,000 less for their town house compared
    with a similarly-sized single-family house in move-in
    condition.

    Most of the neighbors in their complex of eight town houses do
    park their cars in their auto-court garages, but the Spacies do
    not.

    "Our garage is no tougher to get into than anyone else's,"
    Spacie said. "We basically just have too much stuff and are
    using it for storage."
