Your Turn
Celebrity death that made you most sad. For me it was probably John Hughes, John Candy and Phil Hartman probably in that order but Philip Seymour Hoffman is fairly high on that list too.

Labels: Your Turn
John Ritter was the worst for me... then both Heath Ledger and River Phoenix... :(
I got teary for Paul Walker and Aaliyah
Natalie Wood.
Princess Di and Brittany Murphy
We already did this Your Turn.
Aaliyah and Selena
Robert Kardashian
I got really upset over John Lennon for some reason and I really wasn't a Beatles fan.
Marcello Mastroianni
Paul Walker, Heath Ledger, Lee Thompson Young Britney Murphy
@lotta This is why you my boo.
Aaliyah Love <3
Princess Diana, John Ritter, Tony Snow, and Sean Taylor (of the Washington R--skins)
I would have to agree with Aaliyah and John Ritter. Those still get me to this day.
Layne Staley because I had never seen Alice in Chains live, and Dimebag Darrell because it was stupid. Also Peter Steele because he was so goddamn sexy.
Oh God, I thought Enty was bringing back the celebrity death pool for a second. Whew.
*butt cheeks unclench*
Tim Russert
Princess Diana, Aaliyah, MJ, Paul walked
<3 ya Dragon!
Walker* oops
John Hughes. His movies and music are a big part of Generation X. He was brilliant, endearing and funny. His contribution is a huge part of my life.
Yes John Ritter was rough. But in my youth, River was tragic. I'm pretty bummed about PSH too.
Robert Kardashian Sr.
Audrey Hepburn.
Stevie Ray Vaughn
None. I'm equally saddened when anyone has an untimely death- famous or not famous.
Far and away, Princess Diana. That one still makes me teary.
Next up: John Kennedy. Sigh. And to think those fabulous genes were not passed on.
And I'm probably in the minority here, but also, Michael Jackson. Probably because "Thriller" was my soundtrack for college.
Rob, that was my answer too. If you need to talk, call me.
This is a must read for any James Gandolfini fans
Jim Henson. I was on an interstate and had to pull over so I didn't wreck my car.
George Steinbrenner. The Yankees will never be the Yankees again w/o the Boss getting liquored up, spending money and putting players' heads in a vice. He would have used the backpages of the NY papers to drive A-Roid suicidal years ago.
Mike Francesa reading King George's missives after a bad road trip are memories of my youth that I cherish. The Yankees are now too corporate and have lost the chaotic feel that kept you on the edge of your seat.
@TD Famous Jett Jackson :(
Oh gosh John Ritter's was really hard.
I was pretty cut up about Cory Monteith. Way too young.
John Lennon
John Lennon. I was 9, and for some reason us kids were really into the Beatles at the time, so it was really shocking.
I'm still sad about John Ritter. Three's Company is still one of my favorite shows. He was so great!
LOL @Kristin, I did, too!
The very top is Jimmy Stewart.
In no particular order: Katherine Hepburn, Audrey Hepburn, Heath Ledger, River Phoenix, John Ritter
Not dead in my lifetime: JFK,
Mark Sandman from Morphine.
John Ritter, Heath Ledger, and Cory Montieth tore me up.
SRV,John Lennon, and Bruce Lee
John Lennon - cried for days and days. Couldn't listen to In My Life or Imagine for a LONG TIME afterwards.
Christopher Reeves
John Denver
Johnny Carson. When I heard the news that morning I had to go and sit down for a little while. I still miss him.
Amy Winehouse. I love her music and I REALLY identified with her. Only one of us made it out sober and alive, though.
MCA, Aaliyah, Brittany Murphy & Selena.
Lee Thompson Young was so shocking and sad.
Freddie Mercury for sure.
@Topper, YES, John Denver! How could I have forgotten his glider crash? So sad. :-(
Elizabeth Taylor and Gregory Peck. Last of the great studio era giants.
Rock Hudson's death gave everyone a great big case of the sads.
PSH was only sad because of the addiction. I just didn't thrill to his work. So him in NYC in a Sam Shepard play he directed and starred in. At the time I thought he must have been drunk as the performance was unfocused, incoherent. He mumbled when he spoke and lurched like he'd never used his limbs before.
He was hopeless as Capote. PSH was two feet and three hundred pounds larger than a young Tru. Remember the famous photo of a young rent boy Capote from when he was first making it big? That "come hither" look must have been shocking in post WWII era. PSH was many things but rent boy come hither - not so very much.
John Ritter, Johnny Cash and Warren Zevon. All in the same week.
Heath and Paul Walker, Lee Thompson Young and PSH. So sad.
John Lennon was numbing. Freddie Prinze, 22 years old. That's just so young. Tragedy on set, Jon-Erik Hexum and Vic Morrow. So unexpected, so sad.
Princess Di and James Gandolfini were the ones that made me cry.
Mr. Rogers for me. It was like my own personal day the music died. Not sure if he counts, though. :)
Princess Di, Micheal Jackson (end of an era)
Gregory Peck, Fred Rogers, Paul Walker, and, of course, Bea Arthur, Estelle Getty, and Rue McClanahan. I'm sad about PSH, too....such a tragic story.
Michael Jackson, Aaliyah, Tupac, Left Eye, Paul Walker
dame edith evans
John Lennon, Freddie Mercury & Heath Ledger.
Douglas Adams.
Michael Hutchence. Loved INXS.
MJ and Whitney. They provided the soundtrack to my childhood.
Stanley Kubrick. Federico Fellini.
Brittany Murphy. John Hughes. James Gandolfini. Those deaths hurt.
John Ritter
Ok that one pinpricked even my frozen heart. It just felt wrong --he shouldn't be dead. And like somehow a great loss for him - like he didn't do all the living he needed to do. I was affected by mj's death for a couple of days. I think hes the only famous person I ever felt that kind of connection with though...
I felt sad for brittany murphy too in the similar way as mj just not as strongly.
Phil Hartman. The only celebrity death that made me cry.
JFK, Jr. Bar none.
Charles Schulz
So many here that hit me hard. Sniff. Graham Chapman (from Monty Python) is another I miss deeply. It doesn't feel complete without him.
I think John Ritter's death circumstances are the most sad mentioned here (and maybe JFK)--such a tragedy for their families and through no fault of their own at all
Celebrity deaths don't make me sadder than those in my family.....but I do sympathize with their families esp. the ones who have overdosed.....it's very hard to be the ones left behind after the train wreck......
Me too. I still remember exactly where I was. Loved him.
Elliott Smith
Heath Ledger
Philip Seymour Hoffman....I know it just happened, but this is the hardest one, for sure.
Mama Abroad -- I literally broke down and cried when Michael Hutchence died. I saw him in person only once, at the Grammys and he was just so damn charismatic. Such a waste of talent.
Shannon Hoon is another that makes me sad.
rajahcat +1 on the overdose/death by addiction.
What the addict never sees (they are so far in their addiction that their narcissism is metastasized like a cancerous tumor) is the harm to others.
PSH? Sad but not tragic. The three kids without a dad? Tragic. The family missing a son, father, brother, husband: tragic.
I saw Lahn S/Alice in Chains in concert. Hot mess on stage. It turned out to be one of the last times they performed together and I feel like I missed out on that thing that made them great. What I saw was just sad.
Plastic bags at the supermarkets is the only famous death that has touched me personally.
Phil Hartman was the most tragic.
John Ritter always gave me the skeevies, and Princess Di should have been home with her kids.
Princess Di, I still remember watching her funeral during night shift and bawling over the phone with a friend.
Also Michael Jackson, I really was sad that he never was able to come back.
of course PSH
Thanks aemish!
Freddie Prinze.Patrick Swayze,Heath Ledger,John Ritter,John Denver and JFK Jr. I always thought it was so sad that John Ritter did on his little girl's 5th birthday
Aaliyah, Whitney, Michael J and Elizabeth Taylor
Princess Diana, Eric Clapton's 3yo boy, Paul Walker, Heath. Aaliyah.
Kurt Cobain.
Marvin Gaye & Phil Hartman
Bill Bixby. Still miss him.
John Hughes, John Ritter, Chris Farley. All big losses.
When J.D. Salinger died it broke my heart.
George Carlin. I'm still upset about it.
I cried like a baby when Paul Walker died. Maybe just the way he passed really got me.
Aaliyah too.
Both too young and too soon.
PSH was for sure sad, but it wasn't surprising per se.
Aaliyan, Left Eye, Brittany Murphy and Princess Diana
John Lennon, Kurt Cobain, Chris Farley, Corey Haim
Finally some Chris Farley love
I'm one of those people who take everything to heart so every death I hear about makes me sad but these were extra sad for some reasons:
PSH, Amy Winehouse, Bernie Mac, Christopher Reeve, Stephen Gately, Peter O'Toole, Brad Renfro, Heath Ledger.
Amy Winehouse. That voice. I'll never forget the first time I heard "Rehab". I'm an alcoholic and those lyrics scraped at my heart.
Bernie Mac! I remember tearing up so bad. His show was basically a true story, if I recall. He was actually raising his own sister's kids IRL.
Princess di, I was in London & watched it all because I was up very very early with my 2 week old daughter. Told the hubby & he thought I was crazy. Weirdly the 1st person I heard interviewed was Tom cruise. Had people over for lunch & the jokes had already started.
Amy wine house what a waste of a talent & she seemed so lonely.
Heath ledger.
Psh I loved him.
John Candy, John Hughes, Chris Farley, Phil Hartman
Freddie mercury & James gondolfini.
I'm a nurse & knew Freddie didn't have long, he died the day after announcing he had aids. Huge sobs.
Paul Walker, Michael Landon, and John Ritter
Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Princess Di and Aliyaah
Roger Ebert
Steve Jobs, because I am such a fan of his work. He also spoke at my college graduation.
Kurt Cobain as well.
@lucy - Yes! How could I forget him. He was hilarious.
Paul Walker and James Gandolfini
JIm Henson. Made me cry in the car. Sammy Davis Jr. died that same day but no one remembers. Like no one remembers that Farrah Fawcett died the same day as MJ.
Left Eye and Aaliyah still make me sad
Princess Diana made me cry. Felt really bad about Brittney Murphy.Truly shocked about PSH
Phil Hartman died on my 16th birthday. Shitty, shitty day.
Princess di and michael Jackson, both so sudden
John Lennon. Worst ever.
Karen Carpenter. Such a tragedy :-(
Michael Hutchence.
We were going to a Duran Duran concert that night, and Hutchence was a close friend of Simon's -- so much so that one of the songs from their newest album at the time was about Hutchence. At the show, he took a few minutes to talk about it, cried onstage. Whole audience was crying, too.
Charles Schulz's death, too. I found out while out of town at a relative's wedding, and couldn't really think about it until I got home. Then I cried on and off, for about a day.
John Lennon
Ricky Nelson
Freddie Mercury,
Princess D
Elvis - my mom pulled over on the side of the road and cried when the radio told us, it profoundly impacted my young mind
Jim Henson
Patrick McGoohan and John Thaw.
Hmm surprised none of these has been mentioned:
Jonathan Brandis. Yeah he committed suicide, but it is tragic because I doubt many would have cared that he was gay. None of his movies were anything crazy special, but he was part of my childhood.
Dimebag Darrell. It was pretty rock star to get shot on stage, but really it is a shame.
I love Queen, but I wasn't aware enough when Freddie died to have a profound impact. Just wish I could have seen a concert of his in person.
No one has said John Belushi or Mitch Hedberg. For me, growing up in the NW, I'd have to say Kurt Cobain.
Oh Mitch Hedberg! I loved him and was really sad he died. Same with Richard Jeni. They were so damn funny.
I was sitting on the couch when the news came out...Phil Hartman
was so underrated..but very appreciated. Miss him.
Bernie Mac, it shocked me. I didn't know he was I'll...
Ana Nicole Smith...her daughter was only 6 months old and that got me.
Chris Farley & Patrick Swayze...RIP.
Also DJ AM. He survived that plane crash and then OD'd. :(
Jerry Orbach "Lenny" from Law & Order..
Aaliyah really devastated me. Also, Phil Hartman, John Ritter, Whitney Houston, Heavy D, and Michael Jackson . PSH's death is weighing on me too. I really liked him as an actor and he came across as a genuine person, not pretentious and entitled.
Gilda Radner.
I cried when I heard the needs of Philip Seymour Hoffman. He was one of my all time favorite actors, so sad. Princess Do, Layne Staley if Alice in Chains, Steve Irwin (miss him so much!), Michael Jackson. I was only 4 when John Lennon was killed, so too young to bee effected
John Spencer.
*Princess Di* damn autocorrect
Excuse all the typos, that's what happens when I type using a phone!
Gregory Hines, John Ritter, john candy.
Steve Irwin
Conway Twitty
Keith Whitley
Tammy Wynette
George Jones
Princess Di
JFK Jr.
Patrick Swayze
John Ritter
Michael Landon
Freddie Prinze
Mitch Hedberg
Sam Kinison
Natasha Richardson
Sonny Bono
DJ Am
The only celebrity death that ever had any effect on me at all was Clarence Clemons. Couldn't listen to Springsteen's music for months after that.
OMG, I didn't know Clarence Clemons died ... shit!
My sad one was Michael Hutchence. I love INXS and saw them in concert a couple of times in the 80s. He was so charismatic the way he prowled around the stage. I still get choked when I hear a song.
Your welcome! @ _-_= :D
River Phoenix got to me.
Benjamin Hendrickson. I know, you've never heard of him. L I still tear up thinking about him.
John Lennon, John Belushi, JFK Jr, and Chick Hearn.

Thanks to Paul Scribbles of Poet's Pub for hosting the #dVerse prompt on "the end."
"The end is never the end. It's always the the beginning of something." ― Kate Lord Brown, The Perfume Garden
There once was a beginning, but for us, I think;
We never were, until we were, created in a blink.
Once upon a time there was the Word,
The Word was God; It was with Him to be heard.
All was darkness but the Word was the light
The Word was the cure, it was omniscient insight.
Every spark becomes darkness, but His fire brings dawn.
In the first beginning, his light lit uncountable sparks,
That eternal, all-knowing 'start' burning through the dark.
Where beginnings take place; journeys are revealed,
Where life is born, ideas form, the masked are unconcealed.
Beginings that inspire and conspire to grow and leap,
Sparks choosing to expire, or to burn on in the deep.
There is the 'lighter' of the spark and the 'spark' itself;
Knowledge too that sparks turned cinders, have eternal help.
Every spark become darkness, but His spark brings dawn.
Who knows of endings but that they're already won,
The 'Candle-snuffer' futile fights, his end already come.
He decided his ending forever, when our spark was new,
He's the one temptation slithered, damnation to all construed.
The eternal light is present, no cinders who ask will end up ash,
Faith is fuel that forever burns, so the term 'end' has passed.
Every spark becomes darkness, but His spark brings dawns.

Long Beach, Calif., USA, July 26, 2013—Surprise, surprise, a funny thing happened on the way to the men's medal matches Friday as beach volleyball duos from Spain and the United States emerged from semifinal wins to take center stage during Saturday's gold medal finale at the $440,000 FIVB Long Beach Grand Slam, presented by ASICS, double-gender tournament. The FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour is back in the USA for the first time in a decade.

In the semi, Dalhausser had three aces and four blocks while teammate Rosenthal recorded 23 kills and 15 digs.
After their crowd-pleasing victory, USA's Rosenthal said, "It has been a battle, we played three matches today so that bring on the fatigue but we do get boost of adrenaline knowing that we are playing at home in front of everyone. It was a good match with Jake and Casey, well played by both sides it just happened that we made some key plays at the end to close out each set. It happens in volleyball, you just have to go in knowing that it's only another match. They are having a great season and we are having a pretty good one too."

Although we have several Catholic readers at this blog, I would venture to say the majority of us are Protestants of some variety.Growing up in the evangelical Bible Belt culture, I received a lot of misinformation about Catholics that I've only recently begun to identify and correct. So for all of us, I thought it would be helpful to invite a Catholic to be our next guest in our interview series.
Devin Rose is a longtime reader of the blog, who always brings an interesting perspective to our dialogs. A native Texan, Devin grew up in an atheistic home and achieved great success academically and in sports. But during college, he began suffering from a social anxiety disorder and panic attacks, leading him to question the foundation of his atheism. Ultimately this search brought him to God, and in the year 2000 he became a Southern Baptist. He dove into the Christian Faith and learned everything he could about the issues that divide Protestants and Catholics. This search led him tofull communion with the Catholic Church.
Quite the faith journey, right?
Devin works as a software developer and in his free time writes articles on adoption, Catholic fatherhood, and apologetics. He and his wife live in the Southwest with their four children.
Devin blogs at St. Joseph's Vanguard and recently released a book entitled If Protestantism Is True.
You know the drill. The point is not to debate or challenge, but to ask the sort of questions that will help us understand one another better. Please take advantage of the "like" feature so that we can get a sense of what questions are of most interest to readers. We'll pick the top seven or eight questions and post Devin's responses to them on Tuesday.
Ask away…

A 23-year-old woman was killed in a single vehicle accident Tuesday night in the Norwood community of Oliver Springs.
A 23-year-old woman was killed in a single vehicle accident Tuesday night in the Norwood community of Oliver Springs.
Oliver Springs Police Department identified the victim Wednesday as Amy Hall, the driver of the car.
At about 8:30 p.m. Tuesday, Marcia Pemberton, of 422 England Drive, said she stepped out the back door of her residence and noticed that her dog was acting strangely.
Then, she said, she heard screams coming from the pond on her property.
Pemberton said she ran to the pond and found a woman, later identified as 54-year-old Donna McMillian, struggling in the water and screaming for help.
Pemberton said she went into the water and began pulling McMillian to the shore. McMillian, she said, kept telling her that "the young girl" was still in the car. Pemberton said she asked McMillian "What car?" McMillian then told her that she was the passenger in a car driven by a woman — later identified as Hall — and that the car was at the bottom of Pemberton's pond.
Pemberton said she had already called 911 and by the time she reached the shore, she could hear sirens approaching her house. She said that McMillian repeatedly told her that Hall was prone to seizures.
ORPD Chief Kenneth Morgan confirmed Wednesday that Hall was pronounced dead at the scene by Anderson County Emergency Medical Service (EMS) personnel and taken to the University of Tennessee Medical Examiner's office for autopsy.
Morgan stated in an email that when Oliver Springs firefighters arrived at the scene, they entered the water but were unable to locate the car in the deep pond. Pemberton said her family created the 18-foot deep pond.
When firefighters couldn't locate the car, a request was sent out for mutual aid from other area law enforcement agencies and divers. Several departments responded to the scene.
Morgan stated that Anderson County Sheriff Paul White, Oliver Springs firefighter Adam Daugherty, and Marlow firefighter T.J. Giles entered the pond and located the car, as well as assisted in pulling it from the water.
At the scene Tuesday night, Sheriff White confirmed that Hall's body was recovered from the car after it was pulled out of the pond at about 11:30 p.m. Holding his hand to the height of his chest, the sheriff said, "The silt on the bottom was this deep."
White said that the car had come to rest on its roof and was mostly buried in the deep silt. The silt prevented the divers from being able to remove Hall's body while the car was in the water. Onlookers could see that all of the divers and equipment coming out of the pond were covered in black, smelly silt, which had to be washed off with fire hoses.
McMillian was evaluated at the scene by EMS and released, Morgan said.
Chief Morgan said McMillian is the girlfriend of Hall's father.
In his email to The Oak Ridger, Morgan wrote, "If possible mention the people and departments assisting, this was a tragic situation and could not have been completed without their help."

One of those photographers was Scott Sternbach, the head of LaGuardia Community College's photography department, who won a grant to snap shots of the rapidly changing ecology of frozen bottom of the globe.
"I've always been interested in looking at things that are disappearing," said Sternbach, explaining his initial interest in the project.
Another of his photography projects focused on the declining number of dairy farms in upstate New York, and the diminishing effect global warming is having on the polar ice caps spoke to him in a similar way.
While global warming and the melting of the ice caps is a relatively modern phenomenon, Sternbach decided to approach the subject from a decidedly early-twentieth century fashion. Inspired by the photography of Frank Hurley, who was aboard a 1914 Antarctic expedition that was marooned for a year, Sternbach used an antique, slow shutter camera similar to the one used on that particular expedition.
Living out of Palmer Station, a 40-person facility on the northernmost peninsula of the continent, Sternbach spent time living with researchers and traversing the barren Antarctic desert taking photographs of plant and animal life, as well as the researchers and the facility that housed them.
"The people that work there are heroes of the effort to save the planet," said Sternbach of his station mates. "They are risking their lives and taking a pay cut to collect data to prove that our lifestyle is causing global warming."
The weather on the Antarctic Peninsula was not exactly what he was expecting. Despite the fact that it is a frozen tundra, Sternbach said that the weather rarely dropped below 25 degrees Fahrenheit, and that he was able to spend a lot of time outside of the station.
"It was windy and wet, but the area has a reputation for not being as cold as other parts of the continent," he explained. "It's not the South Pole, but it is fierce. There are 10 to 50-knot winds, and lots of precipitation."
He said that being there was an assault on his senses. But sometimes, in the right conditions, Sternbach said that the peninsula was one of the most beautiful locations in the world.
"You would occasionally get a day that was sunny with no wind, and it would be like nothing you've ever seen before," he said.
In the two-and-a-half months he spent at the Palmer Station, he took more than 300 photographs with the antique camera, and thousands more with a digital camera. He photographed the frozen landscape, the wildlife, including penguins, seals and fish, but paid special attention to the scientists that he lived with.
The photographs, taken with the antique camera, have an extremely slow shutter speed, requiring Sternbach and his subject to remain still for an extended period of time. The camera gives the images a heavy, old-world quality that, if not for the modern clothes and equipment visible in his portraits, wouldn't look out of place in a book from the first half of the 20th century.
"A slow-moving camera is a great way to take photographs," said Sternbach, who at first thought that bringing the large camera on his trip would be biting off more than he could chew. "But in the portraits, the shallow depth of field gives the subjects a classical look. And when people sit for a long photograph, they become very relaxed and reveal more about themselves to the camera."
During his time on the Antarctic Peninsula, Sternbach had the opportunity to observe the life cycles of several animals, including different species of seals and penguins.
"It's spectacular to see the animals that can survive in these conditions," he said.
The photographer also had the chance to witness firsthand the effect that climate change is having on the Antarctic ecosystem.
"In the last decade, the region has become five degrees warmer, and there is a lack of sea ice," Sternbach said. "Many animals depend on that sea for breathing and breeding. Right now, there isn't enough of it, and it is affecting the entire food chain."
He also saw the diminished penguin colonies, and the establishment of species used to warmer weather in areas where they are not native.
Sternbach's photographs, reproduced at a large, poster-sized scale, are currently on display at the gallery at LaGuardia Community College.
"So far, the response has been amazing," he said.
In addition to the exhibit, he has lectured students at a number of different colleges about his experience, and has plans to compile the photographs into a book.
He is also hopeful that he will be able to return to the continent in the near future.
"It was gut-wrenching to leave," Sternbach said. "There is so much more out there to photograph."

NIS – or Nippon Ichi Software – isn't a household name. But among the masses of JRPG players in the world, especially in the west, NIS represents one of the most prolific conduits by which Japanese games reach American and European shores. Today, IGN is pleased to reveal that NIS will be bringing three PlayStation 3-exclusive Japanese RPGs to North America and Europe in 2013, and we have complete details on each of those games below.
Disgaea Dimensions 2: A Brighter Darkness
Let's start with what is perhaps the biggest of the batch, Disgaea Dimensions 2: A Brighter Darkness. Developed internally at Nippon Ichi Software, Disgaea 2 Dimensions launches in about a month in Japan, and will come out in the west this fall. Dimensions 2 is rumored to be a direct sequel to the PlayStation 2 strategy-RPG Disgaea: Hour of Darkness, and supports a similar graphical flair as found in Disgaea 4.
Time and Eternity
Next up is Time and Eternity, known as TokiTowa or Toki to Towa in Japan. Developed by Image Epoch, the studio behind the Luminous Arc franchise, TokiTowa launched in Japan late last year and is set for a Summer, 2013 release in North America and Europe.
The Guided Fate Paradox
Finally, we've come to The Guided Fate Paradox, known as KamiPara in Japan. Like Disgaea Dimensions 2, The Guided Fate Paradox was developed internally at NIS, and is set to come to the PlayStation 3 in the Fall of 2013 in the west. The Guided Fate Paradox is described as a rogue-like RPG, music to the ears of gamers looking to spend lots and lots of time with a single game.
Indeed, the Guided Fate Paradox is described as "the spiritual successor" to ZHP, another rogue-like dungeon crawler. As such, expect a load of customization in the game and a slew of randomly-generated dungeons to keep you on your toes.

For three days in June, Geneva's Fete de la Musique takes over the town as music spills onto the streets, with 50 outdoor and indoor stages hosting everything from highbrow and classical to electro jazz. (Exact dates vary by year).
Well-travelled tips:
Ę Ultra-efficient public transport is the best way to get around the city and its environs. To make matters even easier, your hotel should give you a free day-pass ticket.
Ę Swiss punctuality extends to opening hours – so you might find it difficult to get into certain museums in the run-up to closing time. If you want to see something of real interest to you, it's best to go early.
Visa:British citizens do not need a visa to visit Switzerland.
Duty free shopping:
Although Switzerland is in Europe, it is outside of the EU Value Added Tax Area so you can benefit from duty free prices on certain items purchased when travelling to Geneva through our terminals. More information.

GPS can be a very useful, if sometimes distracting, navigation aid while driving to your destination. I sometimes use the GPS system in my Prius to help me explore non-highway routes as well to where I'm going for a sort of backroads type experience. What if it could also be an aid to help electric vehicle drivers eek out more driving range? That's the focus of a recent study in California.
Researchers at the University of California, Riverside, which have done an amazing amount of green technology research in recent years, recently announced they're developing a prototype "eco-routing" navigation system that could, under the right conditions, help drivers of vehicles like the Nissan Leaf increase their daily range by at least 10 percent. The system works by taking into account real-time traffic information, road type and grade and passenger and cargo weight to help develop a routing algorithm that finds the route requiring the least amount of energy for a trip.
Making use of a a nearly $95,000, one-year grant from the California Energy Commission, researchers are studying how the previously mentioned factors, as well as weather conditions, play a role in how electric vehicles consume energy. To do this, they will be collect energy consumption data, said the university, "when an electric vehicle is driven under a variety of real-world driving conditions, including different vehicle speeds, traffic congestion levels, road types, and road grades, with varying number of passengers."
The data from this study will be turned into tables, which will be used to develop real-time energy consumption estimate models for the test electric vehicle, said researchers. These models will be the focus of the eco-routing algorithm, which in turn will be at the heart of their prototype GPS system design that will be further tested in an electric car.
As to why they've chosen the factors they have, researchers broke it down this way:
- Traffic conditions: Stop-and-go movement in congested traffic wastes fuel. So, the vehicle energy consumption increases significantly under this traffic condition.
- Road type: Driving patterns on different road types are different. For example, driving on highways often involves cruising at higher speeds. Driving on surface streets often involves more frequent stops due traffic signals, stop signs and more idling. These differences have significant impacts on vehicle energy consumption.
- Road grade: Climbing a steep road grade requires higher power from the engine to overcome the added gravitational force. This increases vehicle energy consumption.
- Weight: A vehicle carrying more weight requires more energy to run, thus impacting its energy consumption rate.
- Weather conditions: Weather conditions have direct and indirect impact on energy consumption. For instance, headwind increases vehicle energy consumption as the vehicle needs additional power to combat the wind drag. And, using the heater or air condition during hot or cold weather also increases energy consumption.
"This is particularly useful given the limited range of electric vehicles," said Guoyuan Wu, an assistant researcher at UCR's Center for Environmental Research and Technology, and the principal investigator on the project, in a statement. "It should really help cut down on what has become known as range anxiety."

A 10-year-old boy managed to run and alert a neighbor when two robbers broke into his New Jersey home and tied up his mother as his sibling watched, police say.
The boy was inside the Brick, N.J. home on Montclair Drive Thursday evening when the two men broke in, according to police. The child ran out and went to a neighbor, who called police.
Responding officers found the boy's mother bound and gagged on the floor, and the boy's younger sibling inside the home. Neither was hurt.
The mother, who owns the home, told police that the robbers were dressed in all black and wearing scarves over their faces, and may have been armed with long guns. The robbers ransacked the home and ran away.
While canvassing the area, police arrested a trespasser several blocks from the home, a man from Neptune, but it's not clear if he was one of the two home invaders.
Neighbors in the quiet neighborhood were upset to learn of the violent intrusion.
"I've been here 38 years, we've never had anything like this happening here," said neighbor Iris Chiesa.
"I need to lock my doors tonight, that's what it makes me think," said another neighbor, Jim Hicks.
Brick police believe they're making progress in their investigation. They won't say if the home was targeted, but Chief Nils Bergquist said he believes the incident is isolated.

The Fetch email bag is filled to overflowing with tips about taking care of pets now that summer is upon us.
Since Memorial Day is the unofficial start of summer, it seems like a good time to share some of them.
First, here's some advice about avoiding hot weather problems from the American Kennel Club Canine Partners:
* Prevent overheating by making sure that your pet always has access to cool shade and water. If your dog seems to be flagging you can spray him with water from the hose.
* Dogs can get sunburned like humans, and can develop skin cancer. Put sun block on dogs that have hairless areas or have white fur on their noses or ears.

Dream Team, 2012 U.S. Olympic team included in NBA 2K13
[media-credit name="2K Games" align="aligncenter" width="495″][/media-credit]
Who's better: The 1992 Dream Team or the 2012 U.S. Men's Olympic team?
Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan may have differing opinions, but 2K Games explores this debate as both teams are included in its upcoming NBA 2K13.
One difference: No Scottie Pippen.
Can John Stockton and Magic Johnson keep up with the speedy 2012 backcourt? Can Kevin Love and Tyson Chandler slow down Patrick Ewing and David Robinson?
NBA 2K13 is slated for an Oct. 2 release for the PC, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii and PSP. It will also be available for the Nintendo Wii U.

(Phoenix, Ariz. - January 14, 2011) Attorney General Tom Horne is warning Arizona consumers to watch out for solicitations from a company called "Title Compliance, Records Retrieval Division." The official looking solicitation offers to obtain a certified copy of the property owners' deed, advising that a "current copy" should be obtained "due to property foreclosures and loan modifications in your county."
Property owners are advised that foreclosures and loan modifications in their neighborhood have no effect on their own property deed. Deeds typically do not change unless the property owner recently purchased, sold or refinanced their property. Property owners can review their deed, at no cost, by visiting their county recorders website.
The solicitation requests that consumers send $157.00 to Title Compliance on or before 1/28/11 to obtain a certified copy of their deed. While it is advisable for all property owners to have a copy, there is no requirement to do so. Also, property owners who desire a certified copy of their deed can do so, by visiting their county recorders website. A certified copy of a property deed costs less than $10.
If you believe you have been a victim of consumer fraud, please contact the Attorney General's office in Phoenix at 602-542-5763 in Tucson at 520-628-6504, or outside the Phoenix and Tucson metro areas at 1-800-352-8431. Consumers can also file complaints online by visiting the Attorney General's website at www.azag.gov. To file a complaint in person, the Attorney General's office has satellite offices throughout the state. Locations and hours of operation are posted on the Attorney General's website.

Bash/Prompt customization
There are a variety of possibilities for Bash's prompt (PS1), and customizing it can help you be more productive at the command line. You can add additional information to your prompt, or you can simply add color to it to make the prompt stand out.
- 1 Basic prompts
- 2 Advanced prompts
- 3 Set window title
- 4 Different colors for text entry and console output
- 5 Example bashrc from Gentoo
- 6 Generalizing colors for all users
- 7 See also
- 8 External links
Basic prompts
The following settings are useful for distinguishing the root prompt from non-root users.
- Edit Bash's personal configuration file:
$ nano ~/.bashrc
- Comment out the default prompt:
#PS1='[\u@\h \W]\$ '
- Add the following green prompt for regular users:
PS1='\[\e[1;32m\][\u@\h \W]\$\[\e[0m\] '
- Edit root's .bashrc file; copy it from /etc/skel if the file is not present:
# nano /root/.bashrc
- Assign a red prompt for root:
PS1='\[\e[1;31m\][\u@\h \W]\$\[\e[0m\] '
Slightly fancier prompts
- A green and blue prompt for regular users:
PS1='\[\e[0;32m\]\u\[\e[m\] \[\e[1;34m\]\w\[\e[m\] \[\e[1;32m\]\$\[\e[m\] \[\e[1;37m\]'
This will give a very pleasing, colorful prompt and theme for the console with bright white text.
The string above contains color-set escape sequences (start coloring: \[\e[color\], end coloring: \[\e[m\]) and information placeholders:
- \u - Username. The original prompt also has \h, which prints the host name.
- \w - Current absolute path. Use \W for current relative path.
- \$ - The prompt character (eg. '#' for root, '$' for regular users).
The last color-set sequence, "\[\e[1;37m\]", is not closed, so the remaining text (everything typed into the terminal, program output and so on) will be in that (bright white) color. It may be desirable to change this color, or to delete the last escape sequence in order to leave the actual output in unaltered color.
- A red and blue prompt for root:
PS1='\[\e[0;31m\]\u\[\e[m\] \[\e[1;34m\]\w\[\e[m\] \[\e[0;31m\]\$ \[\e[m\]\[\e[0;32m\]'
This will give you a red designation and green console text.
Once you have made your changes to .bashrc, to execute your changes:
$ source ~/.bashrc
Advanced prompts
Load/Mem Status for 256colors
This is not even pushing the limits. Other than using 'sed' to parse the memory and load average (using the -u option for non-buffering), and the builtin history to save your history to your HISTFILE after every command, which you may find incredibly useful when dealing with crashing shells or subshells, this is essentially just making BASH print variables it already knows, making this extremely fast compared to prompts with non-builtin commands.
This prompt is from AskApache.com's BASH Power Prompt article, which goes into greater detail. It is especially helpful for those wanting to understand 256 color terminals, ncurses, termcap, and terminfo.
This is for 256 color terminals, which is where the \033[38;5;22m terminal escapes come from.

To use in commands from your shell environment:
$ echo -e "${txtblu}test"
$ echo -e "${bldblu}test"
$ echo -e "${undblu}test"
$ echo -e "${bakblu}test"
To use in a prompt (note double quotes and \[ \] used by the shell to count proper length):
PS1="\[$txtblu\]foo\[$txtred\] bar\[$txtrst\] baz : "
Prompt escapes
The various Bash prompt escapes listed in the manpage:
Bash allows these prompt strings to be customized by inserting a number of backslash-escaped special characters that are decoded as follows: \a an ASCII bell character (07) \d the date in "Weekday Month Date" format (e.g., "Tue May 26") \D{format} the format is passed to strftime(3) and the result is inserted into the prompt string an empty format results in a locale-specific time representation. The braces are required \e an ASCII escape character (033) \h the hostname up to the first `.' \H the hostname \j the number of jobs currently managed by the shell \l the basename of the shell's terminal device name \n newline \r carriage return \s the name of the shell, the basename of $0 (the portion following the final slash) \t the current time in 24-hour HH:MM:SS format \T the current time in 12-hour HH:MM:SS format \@ the current time in 12-hour am/pm format \A the current time in 24-hour HH:MM format \u the username of the current user \v the version of bash (e.g., 2.00) \V the release of bash, version + patch level (e.g., 2.00.0) \w the current working directory, with $HOME abbreviated with a tilde \W the basename of the current working directory, with $HOME abbreviated with a tilde \! the history number of this command \# the command number of this command \$ if the effective UID is 0, a #, otherwise a $ \nnn the character corresponding to the octal number nnn \\ a backslash \[ begin a sequence of non-printing characters, which could be used to embed a terminal control sequence into the prompt \] end a sequence of non-printing characters The command number and the history number are usually different: the history number of a command is its position in the history list, which may include commands restored from the history file (see HISTORY below), while the command number is the position in the sequence of commands executed during the current shell session. After the string is decoded, it is expanded via parameter expansion, command substitution, arithmetic expansion, and quote removal, subject to the value of the promptvars shell option (see the description of the shopt command under SHELL BUILTIN COMMANDS below).
Positioning the cursor
The following sequence sets the cursor position:
The current cursor position can be saved using:
To restore a position, use the following sequence:
The following example uses these sequences to display the time in the upper right corner:
PS1=">\[\033[s\]\[\033[1;\$((COLUMNS-4))f\]\$(date +%H:%M)\[\033[u\]"
The environment variable COLUMNS contains the number of columns of the terminal. The above example substracts 4 from its value in order to justify the five character wide output of date at the right border.
Return value visualisation
This seemed to me to have some bugs, see the entry I added to the discussion page. You can add a \n after the smilie to avoid wrong line length calculation.
Add this line if you want to see the return value of the last executed command. This should work with any kind of prompt as long as it does not need PROMPT_COMMAND:
PROMPT_COMMAND='RET=$?; if [[ $RET -eq 0 ]]; then echo -ne "\033[0;32m$RET\033[0m ;)"; else echo -ne "\033[0;31m$RET\033[0m ;("; fi; echo -n " "'
It will look like this:
0 ;) harvie@harvie-ntb ~/ $ true 0 ;) harvie@harvie-ntb ~/ $ false 1 ;( harvie@harvie-ntb ~/ $
Zero is green and non-zero is red. There is also the smiley indication (replace it with anything you want); so your prompt will smile if the last operation was succesful.
Advanced return value visualisation
If you want colors, you need to set $RED and $GREEN values:
RED='\e[0;31m' GREEN='\e[0;32m'
You have to specify these values in Bash's configuration files:
#return value visualisation PROMPT_COMMAND='RET=$?;' RET_VALUE='$(echo $RET)' #Ret value not colorized - you can modify it. RET_SMILEY='$(if [[ $RET = 0 ]]; then echo -ne "\[$GREEN\];)"; else echo -ne "\[$RED\];("; fi;)'
Then you can use $RET_VALUE and $RET_SMILEY variables in the prompt. Note that you need use double quotes:
#prompt PS1="$RET_VALUE $RET_SMILEY : "
This will give you basic prompt:
0 ;) : true 0 ;) : false 1 ;( :
But you will probably want to use $RET_VALUE or $RET_SMILEY in your own prompt, like this:
PS1="\[$WHITE\]$RET_VALUE $RET_SMILEY \[$BLUE\]\u\[$RED\]@\[$EBLUE\]\h\[$WHITE\] \W \[$ERED\]\\$\[$EWHITE\] "
After reading through most of the Bash Prompt Howto, the author developed a color bash prompt that displays the last 25 characters of the current working directory. This prompt should work well on terminals with a black background. The following code goes in file
- Add the bash_prompt_command function. If you have a couple directories with long names or start entering a lot of subdirectories, this function will keep the command prompt from wrapping around the screen by displaying at most the last pwdmaxlen characters from the PWD. This code was taken from the Bash Prompt Howto's section on Controlling the Size and Appearance of $PWD and modified to replace the user's home directory with a tilde.
################################################## # Fancy PWD display function ################################################## # The home directory (HOME) is replaced with a ~ # The last pwdmaxlen characters of the PWD are displayed # Leading partial directory names are striped off # /home/me/stuff -> ~/stuff if USER=me # /usr/share/big_dir_name -> ../share/big_dir_name if pwdmaxlen=20 ################################################## bash_prompt_command() { # How many characters of the $PWD should be kept local pwdmaxlen=25 # Indicate that there has been dir truncation local trunc_symbol=".." local dir=${PWD##*/} pwdmaxlen=$(( ( pwdmaxlen < ${#dir} ) ? ${#dir} : pwdmaxlen )) NEW_PWD=${PWD/#$HOME/\~} local pwdoffset=$(( ${#NEW_PWD} - pwdmaxlen )) if [ ${pwdoffset} -gt "0" ] then NEW_PWD=${NEW_PWD:$pwdoffset:$pwdmaxlen} NEW_PWD=${trunc_symbol}/${NEW_PWD#*/} fi }
- The next fragment generates the command prompt and various colors are defined. The user's color for the username, hostname, and prompt ($ or #) is set to cyan, and if the user is root (root's UID is always 0), set the color to red. The command prompt is set to a colored version of Arch's default with the NEW_PWD from the last function.
- Also, make sure that your color variables are enclosed in double and not single quote marks. Using single quote marks seems to give Bash problems with line wrapping correctly.
bash_prompt() { case $TERM in xterm*|rxvt*) local TITLEBAR='\[\033]0;\u:${NEW_PWD}\007\]' ;; *) local TITLEBAR="" ;; esac local NONE="\[\033[0m\]" # unsets color to term's fg color # regular colors local K="\[\033[0;30m\]" # black local R="\[\033[0;31m\]" # red local G="\[\033[0;32m\]" # green local Y="\[\033[0;33m\]" # yellow local B="\[\033[0;34m\]" # blue local M="\[\033[0;35m\]" # magenta local C="\[\033[0;36m\]" # cyan local W="\[\033[0;37m\]" # white # emphasized (bolded) colors local EMK="\[\033[1;30m\]" local EMR="\[\033[1;31m\]" local EMG="\[\033[1;32m\]" local EMY="\[\033[1;33m\]" local EMB="\[\033[1;34m\]" local EMM="\[\033[1;35m\]" local EMC="\[\033[1;36m\]" local EMW="\[\033[1;37m\]" # background colors local BGK="\[\033[40m\]" local BGR="\[\033[41m\]" local BGG="\[\033[42m\]" local BGY="\[\033[43m\]" local BGB="\[\033[44m\]" local BGM="\[\033[45m\]" local BGC="\[\033[46m\]" local BGW="\[\033[47m\]" local UC=$W # user's color [ $UID -eq "0" ] && UC=$R # root's color PS1="$TITLEBAR ${EMK}[${UC}\u${EMK}@${UC}\h ${EMB}\${NEW_PWD}${EMK}]${UC}\\$ ${NONE}" # without colors: PS1="[\u@\h \${NEW_PWD}]\\$ " # extra backslash in front of \$ to make bash colorize the prompt }
- Finally, append this code. This ensures that the NEW_PWD variable will be updated when you cd somewhere else, and it sets the PS1 variable, which contains the command prompt.
PROMPT_COMMAND=bash_prompt_command bash_prompt unset bash_prompt
These prompts offer a little more flash and visual clarity. Note that the use of red in the root user's prompt should provide ample warning. That is not to say someone could not use flashing text or arrow to do even more, but these will give you a good starting point.
First, change the default background in your terminal preferences (this example uses Xfce's Terminal program) to #D2D2D2, and the text color to #000000. The font is listed as DejaVu Sans Mono Book 12. The cursor color is #00AA00, and the tab activity color is #AF0000.
Second, in ~/.bashrc and right after the PS1= line, enter a new line with the following:
PS1='\e[1;33;47m\u \e[1;32;47mon \h \e[1;35;47m\d \@\e[0;0m\n\e[1;34m[dir.= \w] \# > \e[0;0m'
And then place a # in front of the first PS1 line to remark it out.
Third, for root user, edit /root/.bashrc in the same manner to include:
PS1='\e[1;31;47m\u \e[1;32;47mon \h \e[1;35;47m\d \@\e[0;0m\n\e[1;31m[dir.= \w] \# > \e[0;0m'
Do not forget to comment out the old line.
These are double-line prompts, and they should look something like these:
Username on myhost Sun Jan 15 12:30 PM [dir.= /home/username] 1 >
Root on myhost Sun Jan 15 12:30 PM [dir.= /etc/rc.d] 1 >
You will note that the background colors make them easier to read, and the text colors just keep things interesting. There is a lot of leeway to make them personalized, just with the use of colors. Enjoy!
Set window title
Xterm and many other terminal emulators (including PuTTY) allow you to set the window title using special escape sequences. You can define the
${XTERM_TITLE} variable as follows, then insert it at the beginning of the prompt to set xterm title (if available) to directory@user@hostname:
#set xterm title case "$TERM" in xterm | xterm-color) XTERM_TITLE='\[\e]0;\W@\u@\H\a\]' ;; esac
The text between
0; and
\a can be set to anything you like, for example:
export PS1='\[\e]0;Welcome to ArchLinux\a\]\$>> '
sets the window title to "Welcome to ArchLinux" and displays this simple prompt:
$>> _
Different colors for text entry and console output
If you do not reset the text color at the end of your prompt, both the text you enter and the console text will simply stay in that color. If you want to edit text in a special color but still use the default color for command output, you will need to reset the color after you press enter, but still before any commands get run. You can do this by installing a DEBUG trap in your ~/.bashrc, like this:
trap 'echo -ne "\e[0m"' DEBUG

Generalizing colors for all users
If you want to generalize the use of colors for all users in the system, you must modify the /etc/bash.bashrc file and create a /etc/DIR_COLORS file. Here is a possible generalization of the Gentoo color scheme for Arch linux:

Restoring the original /etc/bash.bashrc file
If you repent having modified the /etc/bash.bashrc file, you can always restore the original Arch /etc/bash.bashrc file and remove the /etc/DIR_COLORS file. Note that there is not an "official" bash.bashrc file: each distribution has its one. Here is the exact copy of the Arch original /etc/bash.bashrc file.
# # /etc/bash.bashrc # # If not running interactively, don't do anything [[ $- != *i* ]] && return PS1='[\u@\h \W]\$ ' PS2='> ' PS3='> ' PS4='+ ' case ${TERM} in xterm*|rxvt*|Eterm|aterm|kterm|gnome*) PROMPT_COMMAND=${PROMPT_COMMAND:+$PROMPT_COMMAND; }'printf "\033]0;%s@%s:%s\007" "${USER}" "${HOSTNAME%%.*}" "${PWD/#$HOME/~}"' ;; screen) PROMPT_COMMAND=${PROMPT_COMMAND:+$PROMPT_COMMAND; }'printf "\033_%s@%s:%s\033\\" "${USER}" "${HOSTNAME%%.*}" "${PWD/#$HOME/~}"' ;; esac [ -r /etc/bash_completion ] && . /etc/bash_completion

Shade umbrellas are open and at the ready next to this patio's lounge chairs. The surrounding landscaping makes this backyard feel like an outdoor retreat.
Kitchen With Gold Sink Faucet
As seen on Fixer Upper, this gold sink fixture gives the kitchen of the Barrett home a modern flair.
Clear Sightline in First Floor
Hosts of Buying and Selling, Jonathan and Drew Scott, have removed the walls that closed off the Horsman house and have made the space open and inviting. Now, there is a clear sightline from the kitchen through the living room, allowing the Horsmans to keep an eye on their kids from anywhere on the first floor.
Multicolored Spa Bathroom With Soaking Tub
A historical bathroom was revamped to be just right for an artistic couple and their kids, filled with playful color, pattern and a huge soaking tub!
Sitting Area in HGTV Dream Home 2012 Guest Suite
The guest suite of the HGTV Dream Home 2012 offers its own private Juliet-style balcony, plus east-facing windows that stream light into the space. An antiqued steel and iron, marble-topped side table serves up refreshments picnic-style to complement the blue and white gingham carpeting.
Master Bathroom With Pink Accents and Large Shower Door
This contemporary master bathroom features a spacious shower area with oversize glass door, a double vanity with black cabinets and drawers, and pink accents to soften the overall look.
Contemporary Guest Bedroom With Embroidered Bedding
A color scheme of blue, emerald green, white and khaki serves as a springboard for a preppy, sophisticated style. An embroidered duvet and pillow shams are a beautiful detail against the custom headboard by Bassett.
Family-Friendly Kitchen With White Cabinets and Granite Countertops
Luxury meets function in this family-friendly kitchen. Gourmet features include a stainless steel stove and range hood, while the multipurpose layout is great for entertaining or homework projects. Lime green walls add a splash of color amidst black granite countertops, white trim and a white subway tile backsplash.
Red and White Accents in White Kitchen
In the kitchen, large windows and French doors with oversized transoms allow plenty of natural light into the kitchen, making the space feel bright and open. The white walls that anchor the space reflect the light, continuing the open design. To add warmth and color, red and white patterns were introduced into the space, creating a classic, space that is light and casual.
Farmhouse Living Room Full of Natural Light
Large windows fill this farmhouse living room with natural light. The room's white palette emphasizes how spacious the room is, while blue furnishings and accents add a cool note of color.
How You Can Use It
"All the trees outside this lakeside home inspired me to choose a leafy color for the kitchen cabinets that paired beautifully with a sky blue oven and hood. The look is a breath of fresh air!" — Kristina Crestin, Kristina Crestin Design, Manchester-by-the-Sea, MA
How You Can Use It
"Blue is always a crowd-pleaser. This particular shade may be dark and moody, but there are bright undertones, so it's more exciting than classic navy. Paired with metallic accents, it's extra dramatic." — Michelle Thomas, Michelle Thomas Design, Austin, TX
"We get a lot of gray skies in Oregon, and I wanted my dining room to have a sunny-summer-morning feeling all year long. Golden yellow did the trick — even friends who don't like yellow like this one." — Hannah Hacker, Adapt Design, Portland, OR
"Playful dog wallpaper kicked off the redo of this bathroom, designed for a young girl. The black-and-white pattern paved the way for a big pop of color on the vanity. Fuchsia is vibrant and hip, and it's a shade she won't outgrow." — Shannon Weller, Tracy Lynn Studio, San Diego, CA
Rudge, Rudge
"Here's a color that's fun but still a neutral. It's spa-like when paired with white accents, but you could easily dial it up by adding poppy coral accessories." — Marika Meyer, Marika Meyer Interiors, Bethesda, MD
Contemporary Living Room with Bright Accents
On HGTV's hit show Love It or List It, Hilary Farr has created this lovely living room with a contemporary design. The major colors are neutrals, but she uses bold accents to bring pops of color to her space with the colorful impressionist painting above the fireplace and the pillows with the chevron pillows and bright throw on the couch.
Green and White Traditional Bedroom With Padded Bed Frame
This master bedroom is an oasis of creams and seafoam green. The upholstered wall is lit from a hidden soffit above, and the fabric matches the duvet cover. The trim on the edge of the upholstered wall is implemented in the Roman shade. The soft calming colors along with a padded headboard and footboard truly create an escape from the rest of the world.

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — Chad Belleville, of Barnstead, was driving to pick up Chinese food in December 2010 when he looked down at his cellphone to read a text message.
"The next thing you know, I crashed," he told a state trooper.
The New Hampshire Supreme Court will hear arguments Thursday in his appeal of his vehicular assault and second-degree assault convictions in a case Belleville's lawyer says should strike a nerve in any driver with a cellphone.
Texting while driving is against the law in New Hampshire, but reading a text message while driving is not.
In Belleville's case, prosecutors will argue his "persistent and continued inattention" led to the accident that left a teenage boy with a traumatic brain injury.
Belleville's car crossed a median lane and barely missed one car, prosecutors say, before hitting the car in which Donald Flanders III was riding. Flanders was thrown from the car. Investigators ruled out speed and alcohol as contributing factors.
Belleville, 30, is serving a 3 ½-to-7-year sentence.
"It's not a burglary or an armed robbery," said David Rothstein, Belleville's lawyer. "This is a case where you say, 'Gosh, I might have done that. I have done that.'"
The circumstances are sure to resonate with the student audience who will attend Thursday's arguments at Concord High School, a venue chosen as part of the court's "On the Road" series to educate the public about the role and workings of the court.
Assistant Attorney General Diane Fenton in her brief likens the case to one the justices ruled on this year involving a woman who struck and killed a pedestrian in Franklin while talking on her cellphone. The court unanimously upheld the negligent homicide conviction of Lynne Dion, of Franklin, in the death of Genny Bassett in 2009.
In the court's February ruling, Justice Carol Ann Conboy wrote that even conduct that is allowed, including talking on a cellphone while driving, can be criminal if it results in inattention and distraction. The justices heard arguments in that case at Monadnock Regional High School, a year to the day before they hear arguments in Belleville's case.
Rothstein will argue that Belleville's conduct wasn't reckless. He cites the court's reversal in 2009 of three negligent homicide convictions against Joshua Shepard, whose car crossed the center line and killed three motorcyclists in Thornton at the start of Laconia's Motorcycle Week in 2006. The court ruled that Shepard's "two-second failure to keep his car in its lane" did not constitute criminal negligence.
"I don't know that looking down at your cellphone is different than looking back at your kid who spit up while you're driving," Rothstein said Friday.
