A road crew working in the street in front of our office building dug up our power service entrance. :bkick: A lot of us have broadband at home, so we're all working from home for the rest of the afternoon. We don't know yet when it's going to be fixed -- when I left, it had been an hour, and the utilities crew hadn't shown up yet.
I just wanna whine about how self-centered this world has become. I get so irritated... on the subway, some people will sit there with their bag on the seat next to them. And even though they see that there are no other available seats left for others to sit in, they won't move their bag and free up the seat UNTIL someone specifically asks them to. And then when you indicate you want to sit there, some of these people actually have the audacity to give YOU attitude! People will lean against the pole in a train car, even when it's packed, as if no one else would also like to use that same pole to hold onto... People will be getting waited on at a Starbucks, or by a salesperson in a dept store ringing them up, and all the while they are in the middle of a phone conversation with someone else and then the sales person has to wait for them to realize they need to sign their sales slip or whatever... People (mainly women) on a crowded subway will sit there with their legs crossed, and their shod foot sticking out, and everybody who passes by them either has to make a path around their sticking-out foot or else get kicked in the leg by the person's shoe. (When I am sitting on the train with my legs crossed, I remain very aware, and will pull my foot in anytime I see someone about to walk past me.) Argh!
Just wanted to comment on Elise's cleaning lady coming to give an "estimate". I've never heard of such a thing. Don't most places just have a flat hourly fee, sometimes with a time minimum....say 2-4 hour minimum per cleaning?
Hello again - is this a whine or should it be on the 'celebration' thread? I suppose the question is how much do you love your work??
twasn't my cleaning lady, twas samina's - I was just waxing satirically. Here (as elsewhere) cleaning persons (lets not be sexist girls) are worth their weight and the 'interview' is often reversed - the cleaning person can select which houses to service and are often in control of the wage issue (how much can you afford is more common than how little can I pay you. Note, this is NOT a whine - its a comment in reply to a whine. Maybe this service person type has simply become as valuable as, say, a plumber. Some of the skills are just as sophisticated... By the way, "Deliah, we love you! :notworth:". [Can't be too careful....]
twas my cleaning lady... IME, that's a standard practice. they come and size up your house, how many rooms, how big, how long they think it'll take them. worked out great, BTW... $30 cheaper a week than my last cleaning person... and a sweetie to boot. well-known in my neighborhood, someone i can trust. interesting side note: she has white tattooed eye-liner on her upper lids. really beautiful. she said it was really painful to have done. very ballroom-y.
My whine is that I am finding it hard to get enough time to be on DF as I would like at the moment due to looking sfter my new puppy. Not complaining that I have a puppy though, she is great - just want my cake and eat it too.
Well, I want to whine about the fact that my studio has been closed for the past six weeks. As I live in a very small town, there has been absolutely NO opportunity for dancing. I am going INSANE!! :headwall:
I checked but no kinks. It hasn't done it today so maybe it was just having a bad day. Thanks for your help, ED, and I'll copy this down incase it happens again.
YEEEEEOOOOOOWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!! Jeebus! I know of permanent makeup, of course including permanent eyelinger...but OM-Freakin'-G. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. That's making me cringe just thinking about it. As much as I want one, I could never tolerate the pain of a tattoo in any "normal" spot...much less around my eye. Oh.dear.god. OW!!!
1) Make like you're going to sit on their bags. "There's no one sitting here, I think I'll have a seat." 2) If someone is blocking the pole, hold on to their arm. 3) "Sign your slip, beeyotch!" 4) Walk through their foot. Faster is better. It'll hurt them as least as much as it will hurt you.
Are people really more polite outside cities? Or is it just different - I mean, like respect for privacy is very high in cities but at least anectodally very low in small comuniiites..
yowza! sounds like it might be time to take things into hand and start holding your own dance events! is there is community hall you could rent cheaply on the weekend? sunday nite might be a good day for a good rate... distribute some flyers... get a DJ... then get your dance fix on!
now c'mon. Everyone knows from the movies its those small insular communities that will shoot, hang, eat or sacrifice to a wicker god, the hapless stranger, not to mention the inbreeding, the dark secrets and blah blah. Wheras in the city there's a democratic sort of survival instinct.
works for me BTM - I'm still alive. Actually, I feel safer in my current inner city community than I have for 30 years... The reason is that I'm known by so many people I never feel alone...
Hi Joe. As to your comments.... 1) Me: I get so irritated... on the subway, some people will sit there with their bag on the seat next to them. Joe: Make like you're going to sit on their bags. "There's no one sitting here, I think I'll have a seat." Me: Oh, I never ask for their "permission" mind you! :--) I turn my knat around and start to squat so it's clear I expect them to remove their bag before my knat hits seat, and they almost always immediately comply. But one time it was hysterical.... There was a bag on the seat between two people and it wasn't clear whose bag it was. So I looked in the general airspace of the two people and said "excuse me" (meaning "would one of you please move your goddamn bag!"). Well one of the women SLOWWWLLY picked up her bag, with real attitude... and I am standing there just waiting. I could just feel everybody's eyes watching to see what would happen (cuz you just never know!). Well the funny thing was that once she removed her bag, I saw that there really wasn't very much space for me to fit between her and the other woman. But after making such a "fuss", I felt like I had to sit there. It so happens I also had on a (puffy) down coat, and so I squished in between the two woman, and eventually fit in there as the air in my puffy coat began to decompress from the pressure of the somewhat portly women's bodies on either side of me. :--) 2) Me: People will lean against the pole in a train car, even when it's packed, as if no one else would also like to use that same pole to hold onto... Joe: If someone is blocking the pole, hold on to their arm. Me: What I will do is wriggle my hand onto the pole and under their back and then I will purposely hold on in such a way that my knuckles are protuding and sticking into their back. Eventually they realize that the pole feels uncomfortable for some strange reason, and then they will turn around and realize it's because of my hand. I will just stand completely oblivious and at that point they usually turn themselves around and hold onto the pole like everybody else does. 4) Me: People (mainly women) on a crowded subway will sit there with their legs crossed, and their shod foot sticking out Joe: Walk through their foot. Faster is better. It'll hurt them as least as much as it will hurt you. Me: yeah, much as I'd like to do that, I really wouldn't want the dirt from someone's shoe on my pants, plus walking that fast, I might hurt end up tripping myself!

Creative Writing Program
The creative writing program at Minnesota State Mankato is staffed entirely by published poets, fiction writers, and creative nonfiction writers. We believe students at all levels of instruction should be guided by individuals steeped in their own creative projects and familiar with the common challenges surrounding bringing imaginative works to completion. The creative writing curriculum assumes that writing and reading are complementary activities, and so students in our programs read some of the best literary works of the past and present while exploring issues of craft and genre that will allow them to take their own writing to a new level.

A continuing and strengthening global recovery or a year when things slow down? There is now a clear divergence of views both about what is happening to the world economy right now and what is likely to happen in the months ahead. It is an unusually stark difference, so big that clearly one group is going to be right and the other lot wrong, and self-evidently it matters hugely to all of us which camp is going win out.
The more pessimistic band includes the World Bank, which thinks that global growth will be only 3.3 per cent against 3.9 per cent last year, with emerging markets up 6 per cent overall and the developed world up 2.4 per cent. It notes that the emerging world came out of the financial crisis "with flying colours" but is worried about the tensions between the slow-growing and heavily indebted developed world and the fast-growing developing countries.
The former will continue to have very low interest rates while the latter are tightening monetary policy. So there will be a great incentive for funds to flow from one to the other, thereby potentially destabilising currencies. There have long been concerns about the US dollar rate against the Chinese yuan, though actually if you allow for the differential inflation rates between China and the US, the yuan has gone up quite a lot. But concerns are more widespread – witness the fact that Brazil has become increasingly worried about the appreciation of the real versus the US dollar.
Other worries cited by the World Bank include rising energy, commodity and food prices, the weakness of banks in many developed countries, and the sovereign debts in parts of Europe.
The plight of the weaker eurozone countries certainly hangs over Europe, as does the probability that the European Central Bank will start to increase interest rates this summer. There was no move yesterday and of course none was expected – just as there was nothing new out of the Bank of England. But reading between the lines, the ECB does seem to have started preparing the markets for higher rates and when it does, that will add to pressure on the Bank of England to follow suit.
So there are lots of reasons for caution, as you would expect at this stage of the cycle. But there is also a growing band of optimists, people who think that growth overall this year will be higher than last and see things such as rising oil prices as evidence of faster-than-expected growth rather than a phenomenon that will depress growth. Among this group, the ones that prefer to see the bottle as half-full rather than half-empty, are Goldman Sachs and Evolution Securities.
The Goldman view, noted here before, is that growth worldwide will be 4.6 per cent this year, with the US growing by 2.7 per cent, the UK by 2.4 per cent and the eurozone by 2 per cent. Those forecasts are all higher than the consensus and when they first came out last month it seemed that Goldman was rather on its own. Now I have just been looking at some work by Ian Harwood at Evolution Securities, who is, if anything, more bullish than the Goldman team. US growth this year is projected at 3.5 per cent, with the UK at 2.5 per cent and the eurozone at 2 per cent.
You can see the thinking behind this bullish view in the charts. In the top one there is what is happening to global output, the red line, which has eased back a little, coupled with the expectations of manufacturers, the blue line, which has perked up a little. Insofar as what manufacturers see as likely future demand is a lead indicator for output, this bodes well. As a small sidelight on this, the latest surveys of UK manufacturers have been very positive.
The next graph down shows what has been happening in the US. The big surprise last year was how resilient consumers have been, despite the still dreadful housing market. Disposable income has fluctuated a lot but as you can see, the blue bars showing actual spending have been gradually getting bigger for the past 12 months.
The eurozone too, taken as a whole, has beaten expectations. There has been so much focus on the bits of the eurozone that have disappointed, with Portugal currently the whipping boy of the region, that we tend to forget how well Germany has done, and of course it remains the region's largest economy. France and even Italy also finished the year in better shape than most people had expected.
And us? Well, the plain fact is that growth last year was better than expected and that our manufacturers now are very optimistic. Manufacturing export sales and orders are the strongest since 1994, according to British Chambers of Commerce. Service industries are less so (you can see how the two lines diverge at the extreme right-hand end of the bottom graph) so it is important not to get carried away by this, but it does appear that the export sector will do very well this year.
So are the optimists or the pessimists more likely to be right? My own instinct would be to side with the optimists, who were after all right last year. As far as the UK is concerned, I don't buy the argument that the spending cuts will derail the recovery for two reasons. One is that the only closest experience we have to that was in the early 1980s, and they clearly did not do serious damage to the recovery then. The other is that the huge budget deficit did not do much to offset the UK recession, for we had the biggest fiscal deficit in the developed world and still had one of the deepest declines in output measured from peak to trough.
Of course we don't know the counter-factual: what would have happened had we ran a deficit similar to that of Germany or France. But if extra public spending did not help much when the economy was heading down, it is at least plausible that cuts in public spending will not do much damage when the economy is heading up.
True, there are worries here in the UK and at the head of the list must be our inflationary performance, which has become really serious. We are going to have to have higher interest rates soon, I expect before the summer is out. But remember the UK is only a small part of the world economy and what really matters is what happens to that rather than what happens to us.
Here there is surely one indicator that matters above all others: US consumption. Consumers account for 70 per cent of the US economy. If they can keep going and the US has something like 3 per cent growth, then the recovery really would be secure. There is still a lot of spare capacity across the developed world, though much less in the emerging economies. That spare capacity is ready to produce the goods and services. All we need is willingness to shop.

I bought Physicians Formula pH Matchmaker Blush in Natural back in the summer because it reminds me of the signature peachy-pink blush on Kojima Haruna...Actually I just buy it because the brand is on sale all the time and I rarely have to pay out of pocket for it thanks to CVS sales, coupons and rebates. It's a firmly pressed matte peach that imparts a fresh, plumping kind of flush on the cheek. I don't notice any color changing but it does stay quite a while, even in the form of a light peachy stain.
Physicians Formula pH Matchmaker in Natural, Canmake Candy Flower (the pink side), Benefit Dandelion and Bobby Brown Rose (all strips swatched together). You can tell that the texture of PF natural is just as smooth as the more expensive options. Well, I always like their powder products...Of course, no Physicians Formula is complete without the chunky packaging with lots of layers (this has a under compartment housing a flat and actually usable brush, except it sheds as much as I do...You know, cleansing after my own shedding is enough, now I have to do it for a brush? (Well, I don't so I just tossed it). Thanks to the harder pressed powder, the pan was fairly easy to be propped out (with a card) and transported to a smaller container.
Overall: I guess I have nothing to complain since it costs me zero dollar.

- //Rachael Sage
Much as these sorts of comparisons must make her seethe by now, Rachael Sage still evokes Tori Amos with her piano and Ani DiFranco with her voice (particularly her little breathy moments) on The Blistering Sun, her seventh full-length album. Though her sound hasn't changed dramatically, however, her ability to put together compositions that make the most of that sound has increased exponentially. Remember when you heard Little Earthquakes and its blend of world-weary lyrical observation, musical innocence and biting wit knocked you off your feet? Well, The Blistering Sun doesn't quite do that, but parts of it come close: "Featherwoman" is a perfectly plaintive ode to a unique sense of self, and "Paperplane" is a biting dedication to a less-than-supportive father underscored by lots of minor-key arpeggiation, but nothing even comes close to the resonance and medieval musical flair of the beautiful "93 Maidens", telling the true WWII tale of a teen who'd rather poison herself than be taken prisoner by the invading Germans. It's a stunning expression of reverent storytelling and a subtle homage to her Jewish heritage. Sage can sometimes get repetitive when she runs out of ideas, and her idiosyncracies sometimes border on too-cute, but anyone itching for some solid girl-and-her-piano music will seriously be missing out until they hear this.

The Meadowlands has set up a special account for industry participants and racing fans who have pledged support for the television broadcasts of the 2014 Little Brown Jug and the Meadowlands Pace which will air on the CBS Sports Network.
"Ontario trainer Jack Darling first mentioned the idea of industry support for this project on his Standardbred Canada blog and the response to his challenge has been overwhelming," said Jeff Gural, chairman of New Meadowlands Racetrack. "We'd like to thank everyone for helping to make this happen. We intend to pursue other avenues to secure sponsorship, both within and outside of the industry, with the idea of being able to televise one of the Breeders Crown nights in addition to the Jug, Hambletonian and the Meadowlands Pace."
"We realize TV is just part of the equation in the effort to promote and grow our sport," said Meadowlands CEO and general manager Jason Settlemoir. "This is an opportunity for harness racing to work hand in hand with other companies and organizations to develop a synergy of social media efforts, television, and other strategies to benefit everyone involved and we are looking forward to this joint effort."

GQ magazine profiled "Two and Half Men" star Charlie Sheen after the last incident that led to his in-home rehab and his hit show being put on hiatus, but before his radio rants led to the show being completely dropped for the rest of the season. And for good measure they got some members of his crowd — temporary and more permanent — to discuss him as well.
Kacey Jordan, the adult film actress who was part of the 36-hour party that ended with him getting taken to the hospital, describes Sheen as "unhappy, and he probably relates to the porn girls, thinking they're unhappy, too."
But Sheen describes himself and his attitude thusly: "In regards to this whole recent odyssey, I'll just say this: It was epic. There are two rules at my house right now: You park your judgment at the door, and you enjoy every moment. People can interpret that however they want. Enjoy every sober moment. Enjoy every loaded moment. Just enjoy every moment. It's not a rehearsal, you know?"
Which seems much more in line with how his pal Sean Penn sees Sheen as well.
"When you divorce the moral judgments, which I prefer to do, I see a guy who has a clearer view of the nature of the world around him than is sometimes comfortable to have," Peen says. "Those are the sort of people who have a tendency to find altered states. But he's a very ironic character. He's got pretension in the crosshairs of his wit. I think to a large degree he's saying, 'Guys, we're only going to be here once, so lighten the f*** up.'"

2014 NFL Draft: Matt Miller's Scouting Notebook for the Super Bowl
The first quarter of the NFL draft season is coming to a close with the Senior Bowl over and Super Bowl week officially here.
After Sunday night's big game, the final draft order will be set. From there, it's on to the 2014 NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, where the whirlwind will be in full swing.
What has been learned in the last week? The Senior Bowl game offered more opportunities to evaluate players, and it has given analysts time to review practice footage in order to see more of the players noticed earlier in the week.
Here's this week's Scouting Notebook.
Five Up, Five Down
Five Up
5. OT Zack Martin, Notre Dame
There were concerns that Notre Dame's Zack Martin may end up at offensive guard in the NFL, but he quieted a lot of those issues with his superb Senior Bowl performance. Martin handled himself better than any offensive tackle in Mobile, showing the quickness and agility needed to survive on an island at left tackle. And while he'll never be the biggest guy in the room, his timing and spacial awareness are off the charts.
Current ranking: No. 23 overall
4. OT Morgan Moses, Virginia
Another offensive tackle moving himself up the board is Virginia's Morgan Moses. As one league source told me, "I can't coach 6'6" and 325. I can coach blocking." NFL scouts love Moses thanks to his mammoth size and crazy reach. But how does he play?
The Senior Bowl week didn't show Moses dominating every drill, but what was most encouraging was his development and progression throughout the week. He showed he was coachable. If a team can refine his footwork, his natural strength and athleticism will make him a premier left tackle at the next level.
Current Ranking: No. 34 overall
3. OLB Telvin Smith, FSU
The biggest concern with Telvin Smith as a prospect is his size. At almost 6'3", he weighs just 217 pounds. That's a strong safety, not an outside linebacker. Yet turn on the film and Smith is a nightmare for offenses to contend with.
What I saw in Mobile was a player who used his speed and length to get through blockers and traffic. Coming home from the Senior Bowl, I wanted to see if he did the same throughout the season and what gave him fits as a run defender. Smith's film looked just like his Senior Bowl play, and that's why he's moving up the board.
Current Ranking: No. 61 overall
2. CB Pierre Desir, Lindenwood
The current NFL trend is to find a long, tall cornerback and play him up on the line of scrimmage in press coverage. The Seattle Seahawks do this better than anyone, and their success will lead to many copycats trying to do the same. Finding the players to run that scheme, though, isn't easy.
Teams hoping to emulate the Seahawks' secondary will like Pierre Desir. The Lindenwood product doesn't have eye-popping stats, but that's because opposing teams didn't throw the ball his way. That was the case at the Senior Bowl too, as the quarterbacks ignored him as much as possible in live situations. Desir is moving up more each time I see him play.
Current Ranking: No. 65 overall
1. TE Crockett Gillmore, Colorado State
Injuries at tight end during Senior Bowl practices opened a roster spot for Crockett Gillmore, and he hit the ground running. Gillmore's performances in practices and the game were remarkable given his late arrival in the week. He quickly caught my eye as an athletic performer at the position.
Gillmore wasn't on my radar when the season began, but in viewing several Colorado State games after the Senior Bowl, it's obvious every NFL team will be aware of him.
Current Ranking: No. 138 overall
Five Down
5. OG Cyril Richardson, Baylor
The big Baylor guard looked like a potential first-rounder at times during the season, but during practices at the Senior Bowl, I noticed he was too often caught lunging at defenders when asked to pull or trap. Any lateral movement gave him trouble. Was that showing up in game film?
The Baylor scheme asks for a lot of movement, and Richardson didn't have a consistent habit of back-bending to get to defenders, but it's there on film. With less than ideal agility and flexibility, Richardson has limited himself to being an option for teams running a power- or man-blocking scheme.
Current Ranking: No. 62 overall
4. OLB Michael Sam, Missouri
It may seem like Michael Sam is mentioned here a lot, but where do you play him in the NFL? He's built like an outside linebacker, but his lack of fluid movement and agility is a big problem in space. Sam isn't big enough to play every down as a defensive end in the majority of NFL schemes either.
That's the issue I run into when evaluating his play and setting my player rankings. Where do you play him?
Current Ranking: No. 94 overall
3. DT Daniel McCullers, Tennessee
Going back through my practice notes from the Senior Bowl has been interesting. Somehow, last week I missed all the terrible things I had noted about Tennessee's Daniel McCullers.
The big man wasn't expected to be a great athlete, but his stiffness and lack of agility was shocking. And when you're 6'7", you have to be able to play low to the ground; otherwise, offensive linemen will have a field day blocking you. It doesn't matter how big and strong you are if you don't win the leverage game.
Current Ranking: No. 112 overall
2. WR Cody Hoffman, BYU
Big wide receivers are in vogue right now, but Cody Hoffman doesn't stand to benefit much from that need. The BYU wide receiver is big, but he doesn't play big. Hoffman makes himself a huge target for cornerbacks playing up on the line of scrimmage, and that's where he struggles most. Without the ability to break off press coverage, Hoffman is opening himself up to kill shots to the chest from cornerbacks—and that's before he even releases into his route.
Hoffman looks the part but doesn't play it.
Current Ranking: No. 188 overall
1. DT Will Sutton, Arizona State
No player disappointed me more during Senior Bowl week than Will Sutton.
The Arizona State defensive tackle looked like a first-round pick in 2012, but he played at a much heavier weight in 2013, and it showed. Sutton ballooned to 310 pounds, and his play suffered. The quickness he lived off in previous seasons was gone, and in its place wasn't great strength but a heavy-footed approach.
That showed up all week in Mobile, and even with his quarterback sack in the actual game, Sutton's stock still plummeted.
Current Ranking: No. 66 overall
The Scout's Report
— I spoke to former Oregon tight end Colt Lyerla this week. He's training at EXOS in Phoenix and has received an invite to the NFL combine.
— What player did the Jacksonville Jaguars fall in love with at the Senior Bowl? Quarterback Derek Carr from Fresno State led the South team all week with the Jaguars' coaches running practices.
— Rumor has it that UCLA's Anthony Barr is up to 260 pounds after playing at 245 pounds in his final year as a Bruin. Barr should be expected to run in the high-4.4 or low-4.5 range at the combine. I'm told he will run his 40-yard dash there.
— Keep an eye on Virginia's Morgan Moses. One team scout told me to expect a run on offensive tackles again this year and that Moses stands to benefit most at the end of the first round.
— While Colorado State center Weston Richburg won't be a first-round pick, one college scouting director I spoke to& after the Senior Bowl called him the "best in this class."
— Jimmie Ward impressed scouts in attendance for the Senior Bowl, and word from one AFC West team is that he's the "best coverage safety" in this year's group.
— I continue to hear talk about Brett Hundley, even after he returned to UCLA for one more season. Rumor has it at least two teams communicated to Hundley through back channels that they would take him in the first round if he declared.
— Where will the San Francisco 49ers look to improve in the offseason? I'm told the front office is focused on the wide receiver position as the team's primary need.
A Day in the Life of an NFL Scout
Each week you'll get a glimpse inside the life of everyone's dream job—being an NFL scout.
What's the life of an area scout like right now? For most scouts, they've been called into the team's headquarters for winter meetings. That's where the entire scouting department goes over film and starts stacking up their draft board.
We covered that here last week, but what you might not know is that the entire scouting department will watch film on players together. For example, in Houston, the Texans' staff is likely going over every quarterback prospect together as a group. This is to encourage conversation and begin the process of vetting the player's abilities.
Each team likes to go into the combine with its rankings started, but they won't be finalized until after pro days.
Scouting Dictionary
"Tight Hips"
Talk to any NFL scout about a group of defensive backs and you're sure to hear this phrase. But what does it mean?
"Tight hips" refers to a player's stiffness in his hips when asked to change direction. For example, if a safety is backpedaling and then must flip his hips and run, is his change of direction smooth or stiff? You ideally want athletes who make seamless, fluid movements in space and don't waste time with stiff hips.
Scout's Take
DT Aaron Donald, Pitt
Quickness. That's the first thing you notice when viewing Aaron Donald. He's the first man off the line of scrimmage, and that's tough for any offensive lineman to handle. Add in the fact that Donald's shorter frame gives him a natural leverage advantage, and you're talking about a nearly impossible assignment.
The stats don't lie when looking at Donald's film. He's a deadly pass-rusher from the 3-technique position and has the speed to give chase once he clears the offensive line. He's strong enough to give a bull rush and drive back any lineman that does manage to wall him off too.
A complete pass-rusher from the inside, Donald is a day-one starter.
Where is he against the run? That's the biggest issue when watching Donald's games at Pitt. He's dynamic and versatile as a pass-rusher, but when teams ran at him, he could get lost in the shuffle. As a young player, he will have to learn to use his quickness to beat blockers but also learn to throttle down and see the run.
Too often he'll imitate Ndamukong Suh and just explode past the ball-carrier or take himself out of his gap assignment and actually create a rushing lane.

Parting Shots
10. The expansion of social media use has been great for the football community, but there seems to be a belief that everyone has to agree on every prospect—and if you don't, you're mortal enemies. That's not always the case with pre-draft evaluations. Everything is fluid this time of year—for the media and NFL teams—and with new information, opinions can (and should) change. Deep breaths, Twitter.
9. What the football team at Northwestern is doing is wonderful. If you haven't heard, the NU football team is attempting to unionize. That would open up major question marks about the NCAA's treatment of "student-athletes" and the fact that college athletes are not paid and cannot earn money from self-promotion.
8. On that same note, the NFL will likely be a silent partner with the NCAA in attempting to block any labor union among athletes. The last thing the NFL wants is a world where college players are paid, thus ending its free farm system for talent.
7. There's been a lot of talk about the NY/NJ Super Bowl, but four days in and it doesn't even feel like the Super Bowl is being played here—much unlike the feel in New Orleans last year. New York City is just too big to be overtaken by Big Game Madness.
6. The NFL Scouting Combine needs to grow. That is, if we're going to have 100-plus underclassmen entering the draft each year. The combine doesn't have a set number of invites at its disposal, but with so many more players now available in a given draft class, it's time to expand.
5. The NFL has a real problem on its hands with so many underclassmen entering the draft. The biggest? Players have limited opportunities to improve their draft stock. The Senior Bowl is a great chance for players to earn their way up draft boards in front of all 32 teams, but juniors aren't allowed that opportunity. If the trend of so many underclassmen entering continues—and it will—some type of showcase needs to be put together so players can try to help themselves.
4. Speaking of the combine, the media spectacle surrounding Johnny Manziel will eclipse the famous crowds for Tim Tebow, Robert Griffin III and Manti Te'o. It's going to be insane.
3. One final combine note: Why can fans buy a ticket to watch drills, but the media is stuck in a workroom with TVs on the wall? Access to the workouts wouldn't be a bad thing, NFL. We'll even be quiet so the coaches and scouts can watch in silence.
2. The NFL is a copycat league, and every team will want the next Richard Sherman. That's good news for taller cornerbacks in this year's draft class. Guys like Stanley Jean-Baptiste, Keith McGill and Pierre Desir could stand to benefit.
1. Discussion of Marshawn Lynch and his bare-bones media sessions dominated much of Wednesday's Twitter feed. My take? I don't care. There are 53 players on each roster as well as a handful of coaches and executives to talk to. One player not talking is of no consequence. While some will claim they need quotes from Lynch to file a story, his not talking has given them even more to write about.

wikiHow to Make a Picture Frame
Four Parts:Matting the FrameMaking the FrameFinishing TouchesPrintable Picture FramesCommunity Q&A
Picture frames can be the most pricey and restrictive part of capturing your favorite photo or picture. Making your own picture frame is a great way to personalize your home décor and to create a device that is truly appropriate to the image inside of it. To make a picture frame, you'll need to assemble a cardboard mat, four wood or metal sides creating the outline of your frame, and the glass or plexiglass front used to protect the picture. You can also personalize the frame with decorative elements.
Part 1
Matting the Frame
1Measure your mat. The mat is the plain paper or cardboard border which goes around a picture inside of a frame. Using a mat will make your picture and frame look more professional and finished. It will also make it easier to see the picture. Before you begin measuring your material, you should determine how wide you want the mat to be.
- A good estimate is roughly ¼ to ⅓ of the width (shortest dimension) of the image.
2Measure your picture. After deciding on the width of the mat, measure the picture itself. Double the mat width you have decided on and add this to the picture length and width. The resulting measurement will be the length and width of the outer edges of the mat.
- The inner edges of the mat will be equal to or slightly smaller than the image to be framed.
3Cut the outer edges of the mat. You will need to cut the mat once you have marked your measurements. Thinner mat materials like paper or cardstock can be cut with an exact-o knife or scissors. Thicker materials, such as the thin cardboard that matting is usually made from, can also be cut this way but will look more professional if you use a mat cutter.
- Cut the outer edges. Cut the outer edges of the mat according to the measurements you took.
- You should use a ruler to mark the places where you will cut.
- You should also use an angle to be sure that your corners are even before cutting.
4Cut the interior of the mat. The interior should be equal to or slightly smaller than the picture you will hang. On the back side of the mat, draw the measurements of the original image. Subtract a small amount from the original measurements if you wish the mat to overlap the image slightly. Cut the material with the appropriate tools.
5Place the photo inside the mat. With the back side of the mat facing down, place the image down-facing as well and center it in the square. Tape the top two corners to the mat vertically and then place horizontal tape over the vertical tape, one piece on the mat and a second on the picture.
- Now your picture will be secure in the mat but have enough flexibility to keep it from bowing or wrinkling.
Part 2
Making the Frame
1Choose your materials. You will want to choose materials that not only appeal to your needs and sense of design, but which are also high quality and appropriate the the image you are framing. Many different woods, glues, metals, and nails are available and should be carefully chosen to create a superior final product. Here is some more information about each of these materials:
- Wood shape. The wood you choose will depend largely on your own preferences and what the frame will be for. You can use either moulding or plain lumber. Moulding will give a more elaborate, finished look and is best suited to larger or more traditional images and interior designs. Plain lumber gives a cleaner, simpler look and is best suited for smaller or more modern images and interior designs.
- Wood type. You will also have to decide what type of wood you want to use. Many woods are suitable for this purpose, especially hardwoods, so you should decide mainly by preference for the appearance. It may be easiest to use the same type of wood used in other objects in the room where the frame will sit or hang. This will help the frame look like it belongs in the room.
- Metal. If you'd like to cut your frame out of metal instead of wood, you should follow a similar process, but use a circular saw with a diamond tip blade to cut the metal. Just connect the frame with metal L-corners and matching screws, using a power drill to make holes for the screws first.
- Glue. Using wood glue will work best. Other glues can be used if wood glue is absolutely unavailable but it is best to used the glue designed for this purpose. Wood glue is cheap and generally readily available at hardware and craft stores.
- Nails. The nails used in this project will depend partially upon how large the frame will be. Thicker, longer nails will needed for large and thick frames. Thinner, shorter nails will be needed for smaller frames. Use the correct nails to ensure that the wood is held firmly in place and will not split.
2Measure the dimensions of the frame. Measure the length and width of the outer edge of the mat. This will be the necessary dimensions for the inside edges of the frame. In order to figure out the length and width of the outer edges, you will want to use this formula: L = E + (2 x C) + (2 x W). [1]
- L represents the length or width measurement you will use to cut the wood. E represents the length or width measurement of the mat. C is the clearance around the mat (this will probably be a very small measurement, such as 1/16"). W is the width of the frame material itself.
3Cut the frame. Cut the the frame according to the measurement provided by the formula. You will need two pieces cut to the length measurement and two pieces cut to the width measurement. You should remember the old adage: measure twice, cut once. Being accurate is very important, as any difference in the sizes of the wood pieces can result in the frame fitting together unevenly or not at all.
- After the initial cut, you should angle the ends in order to fit the pieces together. Cut the angles so that they point towards each other, leaving one edge shorter than the other.
- You can use a miter saw set at a 45 degree angle or you can mark the angle by hand and cut it with a handsaw. This second method is inaccurate and not recommended.
4Cut a frame rebate. This is the lip on the inside of the frame which will ensure that the glass does not fall through the opening. You can do this either by using a straight bit to carve the lip into the back, inside edge of the frame or by creating a thinner frame and attaching it to the back of the first.
- This secondary frame should be larger in width and length, so as to accommodate a piece of glass which would be too large to fall through the opening of the frame.
- Be sure that the rebate is deep enough to accommodate the glass, mat, and nails which will be used to hold the materials in the frame.
5Color your frame (optional). You may wish to customize your frame to better match with the room in which it will be placed, or to accentuate an aspect of the photo or picture you'll place inside it. Before inserting the glass, image and mat, you can add paint or stain to the wood. The color of each is entirely up to you. Here's how you can paint or stain your picture frame to give it more flavor:
- Paint. If you decide to paint the frame, be sure to use a type of paint appropriate for the wood. Latex-based paints will give a smoother, shinier appearance. You can paint the frame one color or you can paint on designs. Use long strokes and several coats to produce an even appearance.
- Stain. Stain comes in a variety of colors. Try to choose one which closely matches the other wood stains in the room where the image will hang. You may wish to test the stain first on scraps of the wood, to see how many coats will be needed and how it will interact with the grain of the wood. With a stain it is best to add before putting the pieces of the frame together. This will give the stain a more even appearance. Use a stain brush to further ensure a professional finish. When the stain has dried, you can finish with a varnish to give the frame a nice shine.
6Put it all together. Fit the pieces together like a puzzle so that a square or rectangle is formed. Make any adjustments that are necessary but keep in mind that changing the angles too much will result in the frame fitting unevenly. Here's how to do it:
- First, glue the frame together, using clamps and angles to keep it firmly in place. You will want to ensure that the angles dry correctly.
- When the glue has dried, gently hammer in a nail at each of the four corners to secure the pieces together. The nails should be driven into one side of the frame, passing through one piece of wood and into the other, reaching as close to the midpoint of the wood as possible. They should also be placed perpendicular to the line of the joint.
- Use wood filler to fill any gaps.
7Insert the glass. Glass will need to be custom cut to fit the measurements of the rebate. You can do this yourself but it will likely be easier and cheaper to go to a glass shop or hardware store and have it done professionally, as special tools and skills are required for cutting glass safely.
- You don't have to use real glass. Plexiglas or any clear plastic can work just as well. These materials may not look as nice but they will also be less prone to shattering or breaking if the frame ever falls.
8Insert the picture. With the frame facing down, place the image and mat into the frame. Once it is centered, use either glazier's points or nails placed parallel with the mat to keep the image, mat, and glass in the frame. This is the last step to making a picture frame. Now you can think about decorating the frame and the perfect place to hang it up.
Part 3
Finishing Touches
1Decorate your frame. You can further embellish your frame with decorations. You may choose to add details with gold paint for a more traditional appearance. Another option would be to add small objects such as seashells or buttons by gluing them to the frame. This is a great way to make the frame match the theme of the picture it contains. Here are some other ways to decorate your picture frame:
- Take parts of old broken jewelry and glue them to the frame with an adhesive craft glue. For example, if you have a cute flower that broke off a ring, a pendant from a broken necklace, or just one cute earring with an eye-catching design, you can glue them to different parts of the frame, or combine them to create an elaborate design.[2]
- Frame the photo inside a page from a meaningful book or newspaper article. To do this, trace the mat on the reverse of the page and then cut it out. After that, trace the photo on the center, and cut about 1/8" in from the outline of the photo to avoid having the edges show. Then just flip over the sheet, put the photo under the mat, and clip the frame in place. For more durability, you can laminate the article frame first.[3]
- Stamp the frame. Find a cute frame that represents the person in the photo -- for example, if it's your little girl and stars are her new obsession, pick a starry stamp. This is perfect if you've painted the frame white or a lighter color, so the stamp is visible and contrasts with the frame.[4]
2Hang the frame. There are two main ways to easily hang the frame once you've finished decorating it. Just make sure that the frame has dried if you've glued anything to it before you proceed. Be sure that no matter what hanging method you use, it is carefully measured and centered. This will ensure that the picture hangs evenly.Here are your main options for hanging the frame:
- You can place a string, made of either metal or some other strong material, across the back. This can be attached by adding pegs or nails to the back of the frame, one on each side, and attaching the string at each end.
- Another option for hanging would be to add a hook, which can then be placed on a nail in the intended wall.

Improving science education is a goal that has bred a lot of different approaches, many of them cooked up at different colleges or by officials in the federal government's funding agencies.
What if a major entity tried, instead, to influence the science education curriculum nationally?
The importance of science to the American university extends well beyond research or teaching. As a new collection of essays demonstrates, science is central to the economics of the modern research university, the mission of universities (as seen by those who run them and politicians), and the make-up of the academic workforce.
Scientists fearful that Texas was about to approve a program to offer online master's degrees in science education -- from a creationist perspective -- received some good news Tuesday.

You'll Love Composing Music to Films
At its core, there are really only two things that a composer needs in order to write music for films:
• a film; • instrumental sound.
• a film;
• instrumental sound.
As a reward for producing a successful film score, there are two core things that a composer should get:
• a sense of self-satisfaction; • MONEY.
• a sense of self-satisfaction;
Live instruments are recorded into a sequencer/recording program with studio or mono microphones that are hooked up to an exterior mixer. Midi sounds are bought and installed into a computer as a resource for composers that either cannot afford the cost of live musicians or choose to use midi as a preferred sound source for a particular film project.
The software that I am most accustomed to for film music composing is called Cubase. Although there are more recent versions than the one that I am currently using, I have found Cubase SX3 to be very responsive and effective as a recording and mixing program.
Of course, the other option is for a composer to concentrate on the composing of a score and allow an established recording studio to do all of the technical work with their chosen computer setup and software. This is a viable option, as long as a composer budgets studio time and technical processing into his composing fee.
As for the writing of the music, the oldest trick is to make the music fit the action. How to do this depends on training and talent. Composing music for film is a process of sharing and a rewarding meeting of minds between composer and movie director. With proper chemistry, composers are likely to get repeat requests from the same director for services in film projects.
As a final note, composing for film can be a detailed and time consuming process. A composer has to repeatedly watch the movie that needs the music. Then, a mapping out process of where and for how long the movie needs music takes place. A composer must be prepared well before he or she walks into a studio, as wasting time in a studio is not professional.
To ensure that a composer is ready, directors will repeatedly meet with composers to make sure that the proper amount of time and the mood of the music is contained within a film score. In this regard, a composer of film will usually have a midi or piano reduction, and a recording of his/her intended film score readily available for a movie director's review (the fully scored music with added live instruments comes later in the final studio recordings). In this way, a director can have an audio representation of what the composer has planned for his/her film before the final studio work and recordings take place.

Traffic court is a municipality's specialized judicial process for handling traffic ticket cases. In the United States, a person who is given a citation by a police officer can either plead guilty and pay the indicated fine directly to the court house, by mail, or in some more urban municipalities, on the Internet. If the person wishes to plead not guilty or otherwise contest the charges; he or she is required to appear in court on the predetermined date on the citation, where they may make their case to the judge, or negotiate with the prosecutor before they are called to appear in front of the judge. The person may also request for Trial By Written Declaration in the following states: California, Florida, Hawaii, Indiana, Louisiana, Nebraska, Ohio, Oregon, and Wyoming.[1] With Trial By Written Declaration, the person does not have to be present in the court room; he or she may just explain the reason to defense for the case. The Officer will also be required to turn in his or her declaration. The Judge will then make a decision based on the declarations and evidences from both sides. At the conclusion of the written trial the accused is allowed to request a new, in person, hearing if he is not satisfied with the outcome of the written trial by filing a Trial DeNovo.[2][3]
More serious charges, such as DUI, or other instances wherein the person in question may be responsible for injuries to another, may require the person to appear in court regardless of their plea. Some municipalities process guilty pleas of this nature outside of the presence of an actual judge, whereas others may require them to appear in court. Often these charges are handled by the larger criminal court.
Each state handles traffic matters in its own way. In most of New York State, for example, traffic matters are heard in the court for the city, town, or village where the alleged violation happened. The town and village courts are known as Justice Courts. Each municipality has its own way of doing things. A similar process is followed in Tennessee, though many southern states have varying procedures for paying the fine as a form of pleading guilty.[4] New York City traffic matters (and a few other locations) are heard in a special court called Traffic Violations Bureau, with a very different process. New Jersey handles traffic matters in the Municipal Court System, with the most serious cases heard in Superior Court. In Washington, D.C. traffic tickets are handled by the Department of Motor Vehicles. In California tickets are handled in Superior Court. Massachusetts tickets are heard in District Courts.[citation needed] In the City of Chicago, traffic tickets issued by Chicago Police Officers with no possibility of jail time are handled by the City's Law Department, frequently by law students. All other traffic violations (including those issued by state police) are dealt with by the Cook County State's Attorney.[5]

10 Dine Out Boston Reservations to Make Right Now
In case you missed it, there will be no Restaurant Week in Boston this year. Well, not exactly.
The dining event formerly known as Restaurant Week has been rebranded as Dine Out Boston. Running March 16-21 and March 23-28, the new name comes with a new approach: rather than force the estimated 188 participating restaurants to abide by the same fixed price ($38) for a three-course dinner menu, Dine Out Boston will offer newfound flexibility. Each spot can choose its price tag ($28, $33 or $38 for dinner; $15, $20 or $25 for lunch) and set its own number of courses. The idea is partly designed to spread reservations over a mix of low-, mid- and high-priced restaurants, rather than encourage all diners to simply rush for the best deal. But let's be honest: great deals is sort of the point, guys.
So we decided to identify the spots that seem to be offering some of the best bang for your dining buck this year. Our method: first, we surveyed local restaurants with the highest price points, based on our Zagat Surveys. We compared it to the growing list of Dine Out Boston participants. To encourage a more boutique dining experience, we tossed out those spots with multiple locations. (Sorry, Capital Grille.) And finally, we narrowed it down to spots that are offering dinner service during the week (no lunch-only spots). Here's the result: a top-10 guide to must-try spots with great deals in store.

I agree with what you are saying here.
This is where I scratch my head a little: The mom is wearing the purple ribbon for domestic violence awareness. I take that to mean she believes Jodi was justified in murdering Travis because she was a victim.
I also think she and her sister and the red head chick behave very inappropriately in court. Just my opinion.
My heart does go out to them...they have an effed up kid who treated them horribly and eventually committed a cold blooded murder. That is a pretty harsh reality for them.

Count me in the camp of not being down with those who run down Jodi's parents.
Her personality problems make the most deep-seeded oppositional defiant child look like a day in the park in comparison.
The fact that they called the police on her when they caught her growing pot in the 8th grade is testament enough to me that they were willing to go to lengths many parents would not. The problem, I believe, is more of ignorance & resourses than "bad" parenting.
This girl was born broken. Her parents were overwhelmed and confused by her behaviors -- and they had other children to raise & problems of their own.
Remember though, Jodi left their home more than 10 years before she murdered Travis.
Holding Mom & Dad responsible, making fun of Mom & Dad, putting them down -- low blows and unfair.
Note Mom is saying "bipolar" but that is misplaced -- Jodi is borderline & sociopathic.
It's unfair to those diagnosed bipolar to compare them to what Jodi is.

I have to wonder if there's a part of the mom that wants to believe Stabby's story. She never met Travis; never even saw a picture of him. The only rationalization in a mom's mind is that their kid couldn't do something like this without a REASON. Who knows. Stabby's ruined so many lives and doesn't even look back. Hopefully when Stabby gets the needle, they'll be able to heal.
I agree with what you are saying for the most part.
I've always said Jodi is sociopathic. I've come to the opinion now that she is psychopathic. Very similar. Sociopathy is thought to be caused by childhood, or bad events, etc. Psychopathy is something one is born with. I think Jodi is a text book psychopath.
Yes, I think you are right. Except, Jodi getting the needle will never help them heal. They will be even more hurt if that happens. It sucks. I sure wouldn't want to walk a mile in their shoes.

i thought that too until these tapes, you can see she is broken now, i think by the face and weight she is prolly medicated - which i don't blame her, i would need a xanax iv drip if i was there, and that can account for her odd behavior, (plus donovan is the one teaching her how to act in court, cuz the mom is from such a small town) i also think she is scared and bullied by jodi, and thats why she is supporting her domestic violence claims - idk, i can't even see the same woman in those tapes is the mom in court, its heartbreaking
I heard one of the HLN heads say something like "with parent's like that who needs enemies?" they were telling the TRUTH, that's what you're supposed to do when you're interviewed by the police. I can see that Jodi's parent's tried to discipline her (8th grade "tough love" episode when she was growing pot) but that eventually she terrorized them with her psychotic behavior to the point that they shielded themselves from her (smart!)
If I've read it right, this is not just a random person though, but a guy who either dated or tried to date Jodi. So, I'm going to guess that he has seen photos of her and Travis, certainly from the trial, if not long before.
Surely he would've realized the resemblance of this girl to Jodi (heck I thought it WAS Jodi at first), and of course the same pose in the picture as that of Jodi/Travis.
I just don't think it's coincidence.
Re: The parents tapes on JVM. 2 things.
1. Jodi's mom actually said that Jodi said she would kill herself if not for her family. And then mom's answer was "look at what Travis' family is going through, it would be WORSE for us because you'd be taking your own life". Then she backtracked and said , well ok, maybe not worse...
Sorry, but that was off-putting to me. Especially with the talking out of both sides of her mouth. She doesn't want to lose Jodi and be put in the same state of mind as Travis' family, but yet she laughs it up in court and wears a phoney baloney DV ribbon after trying to peddle phoney pedo-letters to the National Enquirer?
Sorry, but I can't muster much sympathy for Jodi's mom at all. I don't wish her active harm or anything of the sort, but no I can't much feel sorry for her. She seems to think only in terms of things will effect Jodi, or how it will effect Jodi's family. I haven't seen any expression of sympathy from the Ariases towards the Alexander family. Not from anyone at all.
2. There was a bit of the Flores interview with Mr. Arias also played and in it he mentioned Jodi sneaking into Travis' house and "catching" him with another girl and how she boo-hooed about it, because she was intending to marry him. Too bad the talking heads on JVM said it's likely that those tapes were not allowed to come in. I don't know why because it's clearly evidence and completely contradictory to Jodi claiming Travis was the one who wanted to marry her, and that she was not jealous, etc.
"Well, it's YOUR fog..." - J. Martinez
Makes me wonder if she had a juvie record.
I opened up the HLN live stream to hear a psychologist say that Stabby's parents were throwing her under the bus by being truthful/factual in their interviews with Flores.
I get supporting your kid because they're your kid but I don't get supporting the kid's actions. You can still love/support someone while still telling the truth about what they've done/said.

I'm confused now on my opinion of her parents, especially her mom. Sandy's behavior in the interrogation tapes comes off to me like she was hurt and confused but she wasn't going to deny her daughter could do such a thing. Basically saying it made sense that she would because of all the mental problems, etc..
But now she's in court every day stone faced during testimony, laughing with sister during breaks and now sporting a DV support ribbon.
My guess is that Jodi influenced her family along with everyone else that supports her and they actually believe she was abused by Travis.
I don't know what to think.
I am generally of the opinion that you reap what you sow, and in this case I believe the parents have to take some responsibility since it is their kid. Therefore not much sympathy, if any, coming from me for them. If my kid turned out to be an axe murderer, I would have to own it and I wouldn't expect anybody to feel sorry for me or treat me with any regard on random forums across the interwebs..
Enter this into the Bizarro Ledger of Weirdness About the Arias Trial....
I present the following:
Exhibit A = The Freeman family was VERY close to Jodi, as testified to by both Daniel and Desiree Freeman, and Jodi spent lots of time with them. And I believe both of them visit(ed) Jodi in jail.
Exhibit B = Jodi was arrested on Tuesday, July 15, 2008.
Exhibit C = JOSHUA Freeman, Daniel and Desiree's brother, shot himself (can you see it coming???) on...JULY 15, 2008. He died from his self-inflicted wound.
FB page talking about the suicide here: https://www.facebook.com/notes/desir...er/21019971493
The CaringBridge website where his death is discussed here: http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/joshuafreeman
Just all sorts of weirdness surrounding this freak show. If Ron were here, he might speculate that Joshua Freeman was Jodi's secret accomplice and shot himself when she was arrested.
I also meant to say that I don't think that killing oneself is worse than killing someone else. In suicide, you make a choice to take your own life. In murder, the victim doesn't get a choice, the killer makes that choice for him/her.
"Well, it's YOUR fog..." - J. Martinez
Agree. With her jail record/behavior and her behavior while a child/teenager are ticking off more boxes every day as we learn more about her.
John Dixon is the guy Stabby claimed was going to hang her jacked up EBAY art in a gallery with Van Gogh's and Monet's.
Completely agree with points 1 and 2.!
Responding to #2, the court refuses to allow stalking or anything close to that to be used for the prosecution due to perceiving it to be prejudicial and not allowing Stabby to a "fair" trial. The fact that the defense can drag Travis name through the mud is of inconsequence to them. It seems way unfair and to me it is but they want a clear verdict in this case and very little information for her to appeal.
I wish there were more details out there about the reasons surrounding his suicide and for long he'd been "troubled" (for lack of a better word), because, I hate to admit, I broke out on goosebumps on my arms when I stumbled on that shit and realized the DATE he'd shot himself.
The shitstorm of fuck and awe that surrounds this case just keeps growing like a malignant tumor.
Yes, that is right. She went away and left the cat all alone, then was surprised when the cat was totally freaked out when she finally returned. Again, that total lack of empathy. It probably did not even occur to her that this would be traumatic or dangerous for the poor cat.

Anyone considering doing book centerpieces like me?
FI & I met at a bookstore, so it's fitting for us :) Does anyone have any similar ideas/links to book centerpieces?

OH... I love it. I wish I would have thought of that... It's gives a very vintage feel and you could pick up old books at Flea markets and thirft stores for almost nothing. I would have to say this is a excellent idea. http://100layercake.com/blog/
I love that idea! We almost did it before we went for board games instead. You can get books at thrift stores, and if you have a Kirkland's near you, they also have neat boxes that look like books that you could use for other decorations.
I am! I made a few mock-up centerpieces using items we got at the flea market; each centerpiece will end up costing us $10 or less! I used fake flowers just to get an idea of what they might look like with florals. They're definitely still in the brainstorming stages, so I'm excited for our next flea market trip so I can come up with some better ideas! I hope these help somewhat!
I Love this!!!:
Here's a Tutorial on DIY book centerpiece/table numbers:
I may have gotten carried away....lol
Good Luck! ;)
leballonviolet: I LOVE LOVE LOVE your centerpieces! Just my style too :))
foxyja: Thank you! I love all the links you posted :)
@KCollette: Thanks!!! I can't wait to see what you come up with too!
I am such a book nerd that these would be perfect for us as long as I could find a way to add some computer stuff for my DH aka the computer geek.
I am totally doing this at my vintage style wedding. I'm using old romance novels of my grandmothers.
I think my FI and I are going to incorporate a literary theme with our wedding, so this will be perfect for centerpieces.
Wow this is an amazing idea! My FI and I are both really big bookies so this would be another great and affordable option for a centerpiece. Currently we are looking a ways to incorporate coffee into the theme.
