There's a moment in almost every architect's career where the idea first surfaces—quietly at first, then louder over time: What if I started my own firm? Maybe it's the itch for creative freedom, maybe it's frustration with someone else's decisions, or maybe it's just the instinct to build something of your own. I've had this conversation more times than I can count—at desks, on job sites, over drinks after a long day. It's a topic that stirs up excitement, fear, pride, and possibility all at once. Today, we're stepping into that mindset—the leap, the hustle, the vision behind doing your own thing. Welcome to Episode 177: Hanging Out Your Shingle [Note: If you are reading this via email, click here to access the on-site audio player] We have a special guest to assist us with discussing today's topic. Joining us is Daniel Istrate, AIA — a licensed architect and co-founder of Kontexture, a Phoenix-based architecture firm with a growing international presence. Originally from Romania, Daniel moved to the United States as a teenager and went on to earn his architecture degree from the University of Arizona, with studies that also included Italian, Literature, and a minor in studio arts. He began his career at a small local firm, later navigating the challenges of the 2008 recession while gaining experience at a large national practice. But like many of us, he felt the pull toward something more personal, and in 2013, he made the leap, leaving a stable job to start his firm with longtime friend and collaborator Jorge Toscano. Since then, Kontexture has grown to include two offices - one in Phoenix and another in Hermosillo, Mexico - and in 2018, they expanded into construction by launching a design-build company. Daniel is joining us today to discuss betting on yourself, building with intention, and creating a firm from the ground up - all themes at the heart of today's topic. Let's start at the moment just before you decided to launch your own firm - what pushed that decision from a long-time idea into something real? The first time I played with the idea of opening a firm with another colleague from the first firm I was working at was in 2007 right before the recession. We quickly realized that was not good timing so we decided against it. Looking back that was a really good thing, I was only two years out of school and still very green. After weathering the recession at Smithgroup and getting licensed while there, I started taking on some side work. I got an offer from another firm to move there as the principal was thinking of retiring soon and was looking to have someone take over. After being there for a year, on a Friday night at 1:00 am while still at the office I decided that this is the time. I already had a steady stream of clients and projects that I was doing on the side (moonlighting) Binkowitz Residence - Kontexture You didn't start Kontexture alone - can you talk a bit about that partnership and how you and Jorge divided up the early responsibilities? I started Kontexture with Jorge whom I met while we were both in first year at the U of A. We always talked about starting a firm together, even while in college. Early on we were each responsible for our own projects, from early meetings with clients, to design, construction documents, Construction Administration, etc. But we have identified early what each of our strengths were and we worked off of that. Jorge is a stronger designer and I am more technical. Marigold Dispensary - Kontexture When you first opened your doors - how did you find work? Did you chase the kind of projects you wanted, or take what came? We started the firm with about 20 small projects that we were both working on, on the side. Once we started the phone kept ringing and we kept getting work based on recommendations from engineers we were collaborating with, contractors and most important, the clients we had were recommending us.

In the mid-19th century, an old farmhouse stood along a quaint country road in North Coventry Township. This was the home of an eccentric spinster named Hannah Shingle, whose brutal murder in 1855 remains one of Chester County's most perplexing unsolved mysteries. Though no one was ever convicted of the crime, the evidence points to a killer who was closely known to the victim. And perhaps that is why Hannah's restless ghost was encountered by numerous witnesses in the years following her death, haunting the countryside near her former home.

The six-year fight to change city policies that allowed a southern Dallas community to become the dumping ground for roofing debris — infamously known as ‘Shingle Mountain' — is over. The Dallas City Council voted 12-1 Wednesday to rezone the neighborhood. In other news, The New York Stock Exchange will reincorporate its Chicago branch in Texas, it announced on Wednesday, rebranding it as NYSE Texas and moving to Dallas. With the upstart Texas Stock Exchange taking shape and the Nasdaq expanding its reach in the Lone Star State, the Dallas region is about to find out if “Y'all Street” is big enough for three players; Gov. Greg Abbott returned to the nation's capital Wednesday in his ongoing pursuit of $11 billion from the federal government to cover the cost of the state's 4-year-old border security initiative Operation Lone Star; And Jeff and Marissa Allen ask themselves a simple question anytime they visit a restaurant or try a new food. “Can we turn this into a cookie?” The Allens bakery, ‘Cookie Society', has a loyal fanbase across Dallas-Fort Worth for their unique flavor combinations they infuse into the sweets they make.

The Shingle Weaver's Picnic by Patti C. SmithIt's 1941, and the chill of something evil is spreading around the world like a black plague. Suspicion and fear have replaced the trust of innocence of humankind. The news of unheard-of violence and brutality presses heavily on the hearts of mankind. What is tomorrow going to look like? What has happened to the world as we once knew it? World War II begins its escalation, extending its chaos in all directions, including the outer shores of America, Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Annie Elizabeth Jordan (known to most as Cricket) can't make any sense of the turbulence that is swirling around her life. This thing called war, newspapers headlines that are hidden from her, the heartache, the fears of loved ones all around her are very disturbing, and no one seems to want to explain it all to her. She is looking forward to her annual visit with her grandparents, who live in the Northwestern United States. This summer will be slightly different than past visits, for she will be traveling on her own, because her mom is on travel restriction due of the baby that is to arrive in the early fall. The death, the murder of one of the children in Cricket's neighborhood, sends more than a shock wave through the town. Nothing like this has ever happened before. Who could have done such a horrific thing? Who living among them could be so evil? It is beyond explanation to Cricket, but she would soon see her grandfather, a retired lawyer and judge, untangle this twisted scenario with its many suspects and astonishing conclusion.Patti C. Smith was a well-known stained glass artist in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California, for over 15 years, creating custom pieces for celebrities and clients all around the world. Upon retirement, she took up her second love, writing, and has published poetry and short stories before writing this, her first novel. She is a mother of two, a grandmother of five, and a great-grandmother of fourteen. She lives in Montana, with her loving husband and two dogs.Patti C Smith's fame is increasing as the days go by. She has been seen by many through a billboard in the New York Times Square quite recently and we will be able to read more about her personal life in the front page and centerfold feature of the Literary Bound Magazine to be released this November 2024, an issue we can't wait to get our hands on.https://www.amazon.com/Shingle-Weavers-Picnic-Patti-Smith/dp/1964097452/ref=sr_1_1?crid=DGZ22IFECDIE&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.F6oMXg4GOL-rGMfYDi_KHw.e2ytXiHEPSeGwE6wydtpKKFCrQ_1BnzPnQC3hniLRPE&dib_tag=se&keywords=The+Shingle+Weaver%E2%80%99s+Picnic&qid=1729517213&s=books&sprefix=the+shingle+weaver+s+picnic%2Cstripbooks%2C600&sr=1-1https://patticsmith.com/https://inkstartmedia.com/http://www.bluefunkbroadcasting.com/root/twia/12524pcsism.mp3

Chef Joyce Doughty has some delicious twists on Thanksgiving side dishes.( Joyce Doughty, 123rf)“Isn't it warm? Isn't it cozy? Side by side … by side.”Those famous lyrics from Stephen Sondheim might readily be borrowed each Thanksgiving Day, because while the turkey may be the centerpiece of the table, it's the side dishes that see the most traffic.“You want your plate to be beautiful,” said Joyce Doughty, celebrated chef and bestselling cookbook author. “And so, I always think we need something red on the plate.”Which led a delicious conversation with Morning Edition, as they dove into cranberries, a holiday twist on coleslaw, green beans, a game-changing sweet potato dish, and a secret ingredient to add to her pecan pie recipe.“I couldn't believe how fantastic that pie was,” said Doughty.The chef also brought along some items to taste and brought along a couple of recipes which we're sharing below.Sweet and Moist Cornbread 1 cup milk 1 cup cornmeal ½ cup butter, room temperature ½ cup sugar 2 eggs (beaten) ½ teaspoon salt 2 teaspoons baking powder ½ cup flour Combine milk and cornmeal in bowl and let sit for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.In another bowl cream together the butter and the sugar, then add the beaten eggs and all the remaining ingredients, including the cornmeal mixture. The mixture will be on the thin side.Pour into a 9x9 of 7x11 inch greased pan and bake in a preheated 350 oven until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.Cream Cheese Biscuits (with variations) This will become your go-to recipe for a quick bread. The biscuits also make the perfect base for shortcake. The recipe doubles easily. 2 cups flour 1 tablespoon sugar 1 tablespoon baking powder ¾ teaspoon salt ½ teaspoon baking soda ½ stick (4 tablespoons) chilled butter 4 ounces chilled cream cheese 1 cup buttermilk In a large bowl combine dry ingredients, PLUS any extras you may wish to include (see note below). Grate cold butter over dry ingredients (on largest holes possible) and toss gently to coat and separate butter with flour. Then add the cream cheese, breaking into small pieces. Work with fingers to break pieces down further and incorporate throughout the flour, creating a crumbled mixture with both larger and smaller crumbles. Do not overwork. Pour the buttermilk over the crumbled mixture and gently stir and work with hands in the bowl until the dry ingredients are wet and gather into a ball. Do not knead. Simply press firmly into a ball and then take to a floured counter.For nine larger biscuits, shape the dough into a square about one inch thick. Press evenly across the thickness and try and create the squarest corners possible. Cut the square into thirds (both lengthwise and crosswise) to create nine portions. For 12 portions shape into a slightly larger rectangle and cut 3x4 strips.Place onto baking sheet and brush with some melted butter or cream. Bake in the center of the oven for 12-15 minutes depending on the size of the biscuit you have cut. Try not to over bake.Serve immediately or store in an airtight container and serve at room temperature. Biscuits can also be frozen but be sure and bring to room temperature before serving. They can also be warmed gently in the microwave.Herbed biscuits: Add two tablespoons of fresh herbs, finely minced) to the dry ingredients. Thyme and parsley are my favorites. Rosemary is nice as well but use a little less and make sure it is very finely minced. Feta and green onion: Add ½ cup thinly sliced green onions (or ½ cup minced chives) to the dry ingredients and ½ cup crumbled feta cheese when adding the cream cheese. The grated rinds of oranges and lemons can be added to the flour mixture. Cranberries and nuts are a festive change, and all should be added with the dry ingredients first. Parmesan, Garlic and Maple Roasted Sweet Potatoes 2 large orange-fleshed sweet potatoes (about one pound each and even in shape, if possible) 3 tablespoons butter, melted ¾ cup grated parmesan (or shredded parmesan chopped a little more finely) ½ teaspoon black pepper ¾ teaspoon salt 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning 1 tablespoon brown sugar 2-3 large cloves garlic, finely minced (or pressed) ¼ cup maple syrup 2 ounces thin bacon, sliced thinly (or ¼ cup real bacon bits) Combine parmesan, salt and pepper, Italian seasoning and garlic in small bowl and mix well. Set aside.Wash and dry the sweet potatoes (peeling is optional). Slice into 1/8-inch rounds, discarding ends. Shingle on parchment-lined baking sheet, overlapping slightly. Brush with melted butter.Sprinkle the cheese mixture evenly over the potatoes and then drizzle with the maple syrup.Take to preheated 400-degree oven and bake for 15 minutes. While that is baking for the first period, cook the bacon pieces in a small pan and cook maybe halfway (enough to remove most of the fat) and drain off the fat. After the potatoes have cooked for the first period, remove from oven and sprinkle with the bacon bits. Return to oven and bake an additional 10 minutes.Transfer shingled potatoes to a shallow serving dish, stacking layers of shingles on top of each other as needed. This can be made ahead and then reheated in an air fryer or oven.Find reporter George Prentice @georgeprenCopyright 2024 Boise State Public Radio

On today's show we are talking about shingle chasers. These are the door to door sales teams that point out a problem on your roof and try to sell you on a new roof with zero out of pocket cost to you. The scam works like this: Contractors knock on doors offering to inspect homeowners' roofs for storm damage. They say they can help get a roof replacement covered by insurance, and they persuade the homeowners to sign away their rights to file the claims themselves. At that point the homeowner loses control over the claim and the contractor can sue the insurance company. But it's still the homeowner's insurance. The resulting settlement might be even higher than the original claim. But the first claim was fraudulent. --------------- **Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1) iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613) Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com) LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce) YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734) Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso) Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com) **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com) Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital) I

This week, we're joined by distinguished architect and designer Thomas Kligerman of Kligerman Architecture and Design. Tom takes us on a journey through his rich background and design philosophy, as showcased in his latest book and career monograph "Shingle and Stone." He shares insights on American architecture, the evolution of the shingle style, and how he blends traditional elements with modern design. What You'll Hear On This Episode Tom's diverse background and how it influences his architectural approach. The definition and evolution of American architecture, particularly the shingle style. How Tom reinvents traditional shingle style with modern elements and sculptural forms. The importance of rooflines and ceilings in architectural design. Tom's approach to blending indoor and outdoor spaces. Insights on color use in architecture, including bold choices like all-red exteriors. How Tom addresses challenges in different geographical locations, like building a shingle-style house in Texas. The interplay between exterior design and interior layouts. Tom's experience at the Design Retreat event and its value for homeowners Mentioned: Ballard Designs Watch the Full Episode - Ballard Designs YouTube Thomas Kligerman | IG Shingle and Stone: Thomas Kligerman Houses Decorating Dilemma: Hi Jen and thank you for writing! First, Thomas suggests using simpler moldings to leave walls uninterrupted and give a sense of height. For the ceiling, Tom recommends a flat finish and suggests experimenting with a hint of pink to complement the green walls. A little bit of green can go a long way. Painting moldings and walls in the same color, with slight variations in finish (e.g., eggshell for moldings, slightly less shiny for walls). Overall, Thomas suggests letting the architecture be consistent, and maybe let the color be what's different. Can't wait to hear about how it goes, and what your husband thinks about the little bit of pink!
In the early hours of the 22nd January 1944, US Fifth Army swarmed the beaches of Anzio largely unopposed. The Nazis' response was swift, sending the 14th Army to stop them and preventing the Allies getting any closer to Rome. Al Murray and James Holland also assess the situation at the Cassino front, the military make-up of the French Expeditionary Corps and the civilian situation in Italy both in the Nazi-occupied north, and ‘liberated' south.
