1. | hatriotism | ||
December 4, 2006 Urban Word of the Day
Proving your patriotism by hating the people the government tells you to hate. Well, I guess they've added a new country to the list of our enemies. I better hate them, too, if I'm going to prove my hatriotism.
2. | hatriotism | ||
A term best applied to right-wing fearmongers who claim anything non-white and non-Christian to be evil. It's also the force behind such measures as the Patriot Act, the Defense of Marriage Act, and the War on "Terror" (a.k.a. Oilgate). By keeping the terror alert in America at a constant high through acts of hatriotism, the Bush Administration hopes to distract the average American voter just long enough to win his or her vote this November. Those darned evil-doers.
3. | hatriotism | ||
1. Proving your patriotism by hating the people or things you are instructed to hate by demagogues, arbiters of social or moral issues, or politicians inside of or outside of the current government administration.
2. Nationalistic Demagoguery. Looks like Chavez has come out as totally socialist, and we've been told socialist are all Godless and hellbent on world domination. I better hate Venezuela lest I be branded unpatriotic.
Hatriotism in America today is spurred on by radio pundits. While seemingly incompatible with Christian values, hatred and xenophobia have successfully been employed for political gains among Christian voters in the U.S. Thus, hatriotism has been a powerful tool of the republican party. |
4. | hatriotism | ||
The propaganda of hate disguised as patriotism in order to achieve vested personal or collective goals. 1) Political parties like B.J.P plays the card of hatriotism for projecting themselves as the savior of Hinduism.
2) It is a well known fact that many nations still use hatreotic ideologies to make their acts blindly accepted by her citizen. |
5. | hatriotism | ||
noun- refers to nationalism contaminated by bigotry. A hatriot defines himself by his nationality, and by how much he dislikes any who disagree with his nation's agenda. Thus, his/her/its(the nations) nationality becomes defined by all that he/she/it do not oppose. Oftentimes, it is considered acceptable to take cheap shots, racial or otherwise, at individuals/institutions that represent oppositional ideas etc.
Similar in nature to branding opposition w/i one's own nation as anti their own nation and its ideals. For example, un-American jingoism imperialism george w. bush freedom fries hatriot Cold War Hatriotism went hand in hand with unilateralism.
In an unprecedented act of hatriotism, the US House of Representatives voted on March 11, 2003 to replace the 'French' descriptor in French fries and toast with 'Freedom' due to anti-French sentiment caused by France's refusal to join the 'Coalition of the Willing'. |
6. | hatriotism | ||
Opposite of patriotism. Overzealous hatred/embarressment of ones country or government. She is bursting with hatriotism because George Bush's actions make her embarressed to be an American.
For Australian equivalent see Germaine Greer |
7. | hatriotism | ||
Action and words by certain left-leaning Americans that hate America. Hatriotism as practiced by the 'Blame America First' crowd.

BIDWELL, Ohio — Despite shooting a blistering 52 percent from the field, the River Valley boys basketball team was victimized by 24 costly turnovers Tuesday night during a 54-48 setback to visiting Vinton County in a non-conference matchup in Gallia County.
The host Raiders (1-5) connected on 19-of-36 shot attempts in the contest — which included an 8-for-12 effort from three-point range for 67 percent — but the Vikings (4-1) forced eight turnovers in the opening canto en route to establishing an early 20-11 edge.
RVHS committed its 10th mistake of the night at the 6:30 mark of the second canto after Jordan Albright came away with a steal before being fouled. His successful free throws following that Raider miscue gave the guests their biggest lead of the first half at 24-13.
The Silver and Black — who committed 13 of their 24 turnovers in the opening 16 minutes — trailed by as many as 14 points in the second half and never came closer than two possessions after the break, allowing VCHS to secure the six-point triumph. The Vikings, winners of four straight, committed 14 turnovers in the decision.
Head coach Jordan Hill was a little nerved following this setback, the fifth straight for the Raiders. Then again, giving an opponent 10 extra chances in a two-possession game does make a huge difference in the final outcome — especially when the ball is going in the hole.
"In order for us to be able to win ball games and being successful on the offensive end, we need to embrace pressure. In the last few games, teams have pressured us … and we have committed way too many turnovers in those games. We're just wasting possessions," Hill said. "We have been in a good majority of our games this year, which means possessions are so valuable and so crucial, and we need to take care of the ball.
"In order for us to improve as a team, we need to embrace pressure so that good things can happen. Right now, we need to find guys that our willing to embrace it."
The Vikings stormed out to an early 5-2 advantage, but the hosts countered with five straight points to claim their only lead of the night at the 5:39 mark of the first quarter at 7-5. VCHS tied things up at seven just 22 seconds later, then closed the final 4:49 of the first period with an 13-4 surge to claim a nine-point edge through eight minutes of play.
Down 11 points a minute-and-a-half into the second stanza, the Raiders responded with a 10-2 surge over the next four minutes to pull within 26-23 with 2:36 left in the half. VCHS countered with a 6-0 run to close the quarter out with a 32-23 intermission advantage.
The Raiders — who had at least five turnovers in each quarter Tuesday night — watched Vinton County open the third canto with a 10-5 run, allowing the guests to take their largest lead of the night at 42-28 with 4:10 remaining. RVHS, however, answered with a 10-4 run to close out the period with a 46-38 deficit.
The Vikings extended their lead out to 52-40 with 5:34 left in the fourth, but the hosts closed the game on an 8-2 run and also held the VCHS without a point over the final 2:40 of regulation.
Tyler Twyman went 4-for-4 from three-point range and led the Raiders with a game-high 18 points, followed by Ethan Dovenbarger with 10 points and Joseph Loyd with nine markers. Seann Roberts added six points inside, while Justin Rusk and Burnie Stanley rounded out the respective scoring with three and two markers.
The hosts sank 2-of-3 free throw attempts for 67 percent and posted team totals of 20 rebounds, nine assists and one steal. Dovenbarger led RVHS with five rebounds, while Roberts and Twyman both chipped in four caroms apiece.
Vinton County connected on 19-of-47 field goal attempts for 40 percent, including a 4-of-8 effort from three-point territory for 50 percent. The guests were also 12-of-19 at the charity stripe for 63 percent.
Jordan Kidd and L.B. Remy both paced the Vikings with 12 points each, followed by Bryce Owings with 11 points and Jordan Albright with nine markers.

Yoshida in China: Will MediaTek's luck hold in 2013?
Junko Yoshida
NEW YORK – In a year when most mobile chip vendors have seen a dramatic reduction of their customer base or declining market share, Taiwan-based MediaTek is sitting pretty and talking about a ten-fold increase in its smartphone chip shipments in 2012.
The Taiwanese company had only a small presence in the smartphone market during 2011. Since then, the spread of Android apps and Android phones, China Mobile's growing TD-SCDMA footprint and the insatiable appetite for smartphones among consumers have contributed to a global smartphone surge.
The phenomenal success of Samsung's Galaxy S3 and Apple's iPhones have also inspired feature phone developers in China to move upstream and migrate into the entry-level smartphone market.
MediaTek has been riding the wave, bringing China's feature phone vendors into the smartphone market.
MediaTek's "turnkey" solution, that is touted as ensuring both hardware and software work smoothly, has cleared the way for Chinese handset makers with virtually no smartphone experience to develop Android products.
It's important to note that in early 2011 MediaTek trailed rivals like Spreadtrum of Shanghai and Taiwan's Mstar. Both companies were undercutting MediaTek on pricing of chips that go inside China's low-end mobile phones. This year, MediaTek has turned the tables by seizing the smartphone opportunity more aggressively than its rivals. In parallel, MediaTek also pursued a merger agreement with MStar over the summer.
In 2011, MediaTek sold 550 million feature phone chips, but shipped only 400 million units this year. It has increased smartphone chip shipments from 10 million units in 2011 to 110 million units this year.
Leading mobile chip vendors like ST-Ericsson or Marvell traditionally depend on fewer large handset OEMs. But as mobile phone vendors like Nokia and Research In Motion faltered in a cut-throat smartphone market, so did their chip suppliers.
MediaTek was fortunate to have many established customers in the feature phone market. As it pursued the low- to entry-level smartphone market, it brought that large base of feature phone companies along. "These vendors know how to work with us," said Finbarr Moynihan, MediaTek's general manager for business development.
Just as much as the smartphone trend in 2012 defined MediaTek, Moynihan likes to say, "We are defining it."
Sure, MediaTek may have defined the entry-level smartphone market in 2012. But when Spreadtrum and others start catching up in 2013, just how long MediaTek can stay in the driver's seat remains unclear.
Next: High-end smartphones
Ditto Kris! 10X increase would mean people in developing economies will be dumping their 'dumb' phones and get entry-level smart phones. People in these economies tend to keep things longer; a majority of them use it for texting and voice calls.
MP Divakar
It reads "In 2011, MediaTek sold 550 million feature phone chips, but shipped only 400 million units this year. It has increased smartphone chip shipments from 10 million units in 2011 to 110 million units this year."
10-fold ? that is 1024X. the M-brother will be doing Brazillion $ in sales. Why can't we in the engineering community get this right ?

DEAR ABBY NOV. 25: Daughter willfully disregards mother's bequest of jewels
DEAR ABBY: My darling mother-in-law passed away recently. She was a wonderful woman, a caring and loving role model to her children and grandchildren. In her will she left a diamond ring to her daughter, "Mimi," a diamond ring to me, and the remainder of her jewelry to her grandchildren. Her house and its contents were to be divided equally between her son and daughter.
My children received a box from Mimi filled with Mom's costume jewelry. All of her expensive jewelry was missing. When I asked about the missing items, Mimi said they were in the box, and she had taken photos to prove it. My husband noticed that many valuable items were missing from the family home as well.
Recently my daughter and I ran into my sister-in-law in a restaurant and saw she was wearing one of the pieces of jewelry that had been intended for my children. When I asked Mimi to please take it off and give it to my daughter, she replied that she couldn't because she was "still grieving." Any advice on how to handle this? — HEARTBROKEN IN WASHINGTON
DEAR HEARTBROKEN: What a shame. Who was the executor of your mother-in-law's will? That person should have been overseeing the disposition of her property, and that is the person you should contact now to see the deceased's wishes are complied with. If Mimi WAS the executor, then your next step should be to contact an attorney.
DEAR ABBY: I am a 25-year-old male who is still a virgin. It bugs me knowing that uglier, disgusting, less intelligent guys are having sex, while I — compassionate, smart, educated and good-looking — am not. What am I supposed to do? What is the secret to finally losing my virginity?
This has been bothering me lately because I have lost a lot of weight and feel better about myself, but it still isn't happening. I used to be extremely shy, but the confidence I gained from the weight loss has helped me in talking to strangers.
I don't get it. I feel like life is playing a cruel joke on me. I feel like the only virgin in the room. Please give me some advice. — READY FOR MORE
DEAR READY: Please take a moment and re-read the second sentence of your letter. If you do, you will realize that while you have lost the weight, you have not lost the anger you must have felt when, for years, you went unnoticed. The chances of losing your virginity — and more important, having a RELATIONSHIP — will improve if you talk to a psychologist. Unless you do, as smart, educated and good-looking as you now are, the "vibe" you emit may continue to repel women. I have seen this happen, so please give my advice serious consideration.
DEAR ABBY: Our son and daughter-in-law live out of state. They have a 1-year-old daughter. For their anniversary, we sent them a gift certificate saying that we would pay for a night out on the town, including a hotel of their choice in the city where they live. We offered to watch our granddaughter and their dogs while they enjoyed themselves.
Their response was a resounding NO! They said that it was the most selfish gift we had ever given them because it wasn't for them; it was so we could baby-sit. What do you think? — GRANDMA GAYLE Continued...
DEAR GRANDMA GAYLE: I think their manners are atrocious. How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is to have a thankless child!

13 years of use, never an issue. Once per year maintenance is done on schedule. Always worked - all the time. Watched my meighbors spend thousands replacing their A/C units over the last decade - none of those were Trane. All of them have inquired about my Trane - most have chosen Trane and have been very happy. Now that I think about it, I shoud get some kind of commission! I'd pick a higher rating if it was offered.

This Trane Air Conditioner has not failed me once in 5 years. No service calls - ever. The weather has been hot as **** and its been great.

"TRANE Central Air"
This is a great a/c unit. Affordable and quiet. There is no question that my house is kept cooler than before and eletric bills have dropped about 15%. Irs been four years with no issues. I do get annual maintenance on the Furnance and a/C.
Satisfaction Rating:
"very good air condition and energy efficient"
We have owned this air conditioner for approximately 6 years. We have had to do no maintenance on this air conditioner other than changing the air filter. I like the fact that it is very quiet and quite energy efficient when compared to similar systems from different brand names. It was also relatively inexpensive when compared to similar systems from different brand names. If worst came to worst and this air conditioner croaked, I would definitely buy this name brand again for the simple fact that I am so pleased with this one's performance. There is really nothing I am dissatisfied with, but if I had to choose one thing, I guess I would have to say that when inside the house, the noise of the air coming out of the vents is kind of loud, causing us to have to turn up the TV when watching. I would definitely recommend this to a friend.
Satisfaction Rating:
"I strongly recomend Trane. Its a little more expencive, But more energy efficiant."
I bought my house about 4 years ago. The home inspection disclosed that I would need to replace my air conditioner within 2 years. So 2 years ago I bought this new Trane system XL19i. This unit is very energy efficient. Its heats as well as it cools. We have been very satisfied.
Satisfaction Rating:
"XB14 Air Conditioner - Quiet, Efficient, and Safe"
The Trane air conditioner we have at our home was installed when we first purchased the house 4 years ago. I am completely satisfied with the function and operation of the unit. I have never had to do any type of maintenance on the unit and never have had to have it repaired. I turn it on before it starts to get hot, usually in April just to make sure all is well with the unit and each time there has been no problems. It works wonderful for our size of house and cools it quite efficiently. It is located outside of the master bathroom, and although I can hear it when it is running, it is definitely not loud enough to become annoying. The unit is easily cleaned by just hosing it down from water with a garden hose. I don't worry about any safety issues with the unit since the fan blades are fully enclosed within a protective barrier to keep hands out. I would fully recommend this unit to my friends and family.

"jump on the Trane"
3 years with a new Trane A/C unit XR15. Its been great, its a matched system with a Trane Coil and Furnance. Never an issue. Very Satisfied.
Satisfaction Rating:
"Can't stop the Trane"
Well I had to buy an air conditioner around spring time last year since our old one had went out. I have loved out Trane ever since we got in installed. The installation was pretty simple. Once we got it installed, it was smooth sailing from there. The Trane has kept us cool when we needed it ever since. I loved the reasonable price for how well the product works. One thing that I don't really care for is that sometimes the unit can be a little loud. I have never had any problems with the unit and have never had to replace a part. I would highly recommend to a friend to buy a Trane as they are reliable products.

Isn't it exciting to know that we at Mary Queen of Peace have built a dental clinic for the poor in St. Jean de Sud parish in rural Haiti? Dr. Steve Fleischut, his wife Tammy, and fellow parishioner Heather O'Keefe visited the new clinic during a February mission trip. Read more about the project and view photos taken at the Dedication Ceremony during the trip. The new dental clinic donated by Mary Queen of Peace, is a concrete example that a better world is possible. Thanks to all who donated and to the community of MQP for the compassionate display of generosity.
On November 9, 2011 Bishop Edward Rice confirmed 80 eighth grade students from our Day School and the Parish School of Religion. It was wonderful to behold their openness to the Holy Spirit as they received the third and last of the Sacraments of Initiation. Now they are fully initiated into God's life in the Spirit, into God's family, into Christ's Church, and into the saving power Jesus' death and resurrection.
We celebrated 90 years of community and worship with a special Mass and our annual Bratfest on Sunday, September 25, 2011. The church looked beautiful and the Festival Choir sounded amazing! And, a few of our former parish priests enjoyed returning to MQP. Be sure to read The Early Years: 1922-1956 compiled by parishioner Susan Grigsby for some interesting history of the first 90 years.

Hi everyone! I posted recently about my master bedroom, but I thought it'd be easier to make a separate post regarding my living room so it wouldn't get confusing. We are moving to a new home with just the bare essentials so I have LOTS of rooms to start dreaming up. Anyway. . .I have attached a picture of the space. Please keep in mind this decor and furniture is NOT MINE. These are pics from the listing before we purchased it. I severely dislike how they have laid out the room as well as the style. LOL I do not like the idea of turning the couch toward the fireplace..i feel like it cuts the room off. I apologize that I only have one angle to show you right now. I haven't been able to take any other pictures since I am in FL and the house is in TX. We will be relocating their in June, so should get better ideas once we're actually there. Anyway...here is the picture of the room. | |||
I will also add that we do have a flat screen TV.. not sure how to set that up yet? I have been tossing around the idea of a couch, loveseat and maybe seating area with two smaller accent chairs and a table? Not sure if that room is large enough for that though. Also. .the wall to the right that you can't see. That has a big window on it. | ||||
My sister found this picture somewhere and I do really like the feel and freshness of this picture. We do intend to put hardwood floors in eventually, so I need to decorate with that in mind...even if it won't be immediate. I believe there is a couch and loveseat in this pic (hard to tell because it's cut off). . .I can't decide if the loveseat should be on the wall across from the window or in front of the window. Well .. i guess the accent chair may work better in front of the window?? http://co123w.col123.mail.live...aW1hZ2UvanBlZw_3d_3d | ||||
That was going to be my first question. What is behind on the right where you see part of that chair... It's hard to tell just from the one picture and you say you don't want a couch where the couch is in the picture, cutting off the space, I would say maybe putting a couch against the window wall we can't see and tv on the wall to the left of the fireplace...but you might deal with glare issues from the window... That looks like a tight space to put all the pieces you listed. But at least the previous owners furniture and pictures from the listing gives you an idea of what fits and what you don't like about their placement. Is the room square or are their 5 walls in there? | ||||
There are 4 walls . .the two on either side of the fireplace, the fireplace wall and the one with the window. Behind that couch is the kitchen. There is a bar that is open to the kitchen. What do you think about the layout in the picture that I attached (the link rather)? I was thinking about where they have the couch angled right now, just straightening it up on that space that has the kitchen behind it and then maybe the loveseat to the left of the fireplace with the TV to the right of the fireplace? also, any ideas on what to put above the fireplace? I like the big wall clock that is above the fireplace in the link that I attached. . but maybe something more unique would be nice? I want the space to feel open and fresh. . so I am wanting cream colored couches mixed with dark woods to ground it. . .but overall something fresh and a good mix of modern and vintage together.This message has been edited.

Very nice looking room. If you are keeping the walls the dark sage green, I would consider painting the ceiling a slightly darker off white the same tone as the carpet. The crown molding will really pop and the ceiling won't look so stark in relation to the wall color. I hate the wall unit next to the fireplace mantle.Your composition should have a balance of vertical pieces and horizontal pieces spaced apart so your eye travels instead of stopping short. In this size room I would suggest picking one wood tone and sticking with it, adding interest by changing the materials.Stained wood, painted wood, metal and fabric, each material in a fairly consistant color/tone with textural changes.( for instance rough pine and smooth polished maple, both yellow but different textures, or red oak and mahogany) You will get the interest of an eclectic interior, without a random "all over the map" look. | ||||
I apologize about that link. I am going to try to attach it to this post. Hopefully it will work. But I like this layout. Charles, I agree. .I HATE that huge entertainment center there. I just can't figure out what to replace it with and how to set up the TV area. do you have any pics that you think might look good on that wall? What do you think about the set up in this picture? | ||||
A corner fireplace can be challenging, but I can understand why the current owner placed a floating sofa focused toward it. It's frequently advised that the focal point be where the main furniture grouping is focused toward. Floating some pieces of furniture is also recommended if doable so as not to line every piece along walls. Featuring some tall pieces to break up the horizontal line as well as to balance the room is also important. Keeping your traffic flow in mind as well as considering the purposes of this space are also factors to consider. W/ these rules of thumb in mind and considering the fact you don't yet have furniture, take the purchases slowly w/ careful measurements and possible placement in mind. | ||||
From the vantage point your photo was taken from it seems there are three focal points fighting for attention: the fireplace and its mantel, the large cabinet on the right in the photo and the light fixture/fan. Without seeing a layout or more pictures it is difficult to advise but it does not seem as if the pieces you want would be too many. In the most recent pic you attached, again it seems as if there are too many focal points. The fireplace wall, the mirror and the print grouping around the t.v. IMHO somehow that room looks too busy. although usually I like a lot going on. Maybe it is because the elements there are either quite large (prints/mirror/sofa etc) or quite small (decorative pieces/small table) | ||||
I do like the look of the "inspiration room". If you could add some decorative trim to create an over mantle, bringing the lines of the fireplace all the way up to the ceiling, that would be great. To further emphasize the verticality I would consider a pair of tall candlesticks to one side of the mantle and perhaps a tall slender silk plant like an orchid on the opposite side.( the round clock in the center of the mantle in the inspiration room is not ideal for bringing the eye up, because it is more boxy than slender) Mounting or setting the T.V. on a lower media console will balance out the strong verticals with an equally strong horizontal. Now you need to keep that harmony going.Since the average sofa represents another strong horizontal line, having at least two chairs (matching or not) that are taller than they are wide will give you your next noticable vertical. A lamp and table combination of 54 inches total height should be approx. 6 inches lower than your mantle, then at least one 42 inch high chair will be 12 inches lower than the lamp/table combo. Your height variations will raise and lower in a manner pleasing to the eye, with a nice rhythmic flow. If the back of your sofa frame or at least the back pillows are around 36 inches high, this will continue the concept. All of these proportions are furniture industry standards, so we are not talking about custom. If you keep proportion an important detail, like color and serviceability, you will be thinking like a pro. Best of luck! | ||||
My family room is set up almost exactly like that last picture. I have a corner fireplace too. It works because I can see the fireplace and the t.v. and they're not next to each other. The t.v. is actually about eight feet away. That room looks nice, but it's a bit busy. Wanda | ||||
Here is another picture from inside the kitchen. It is the only other one I have and it is really dark. . but maybe it will help some?? What do you think now? | ||||
It pretty much looks like sofa in front of the windows, low media cabinet across from the sofa. One tall chair to the left of the sofa angled toward the T.V. and another tall chair to the left of the media console angled to face its mate. Molding/trim work to create a floor to ceiling effect with the mantle. And please reconsider the window treatments. The fact that you can see behind the panels makes them look cheap. Also the "scarves" swagged over the panels is out dated and adds to much depth to a room of that size. Make sure your table on the right side of the sofa is solid to the floor like a chest, a trunk, or a drum table so you can't see the lamp wire when you're sitting in the kitchen. With all the horizontal surfaces in the kitchen, counter, island, and table, striped drapes would add a much needed lift. | ||||
I know. . .Those drapes are awful, right?!? I had to really look past her decor when we looked at this house. LOL So you're saying put the media cabinet/tv to the left of the fireplace (across from the windows). What should I put on the big wall to the right of the fireplace? I mean, I know you said to put a chair there to go across from its mate, but that wall would still be left empty. | ||||
ok..now that picture helps so much to give a better idea of that space/room. I agree with Charles D in regards to furniture/tv placement. | ||||
If the wall is big enough I would put a matched pair of chairs with a table between them . Then the chair to the left of the media cabinet could be a single interesting chair. If there is not enough room for two chairs, maybe one chair with a small chest next to it instead of a table and some artwork over the chest to fill up the wall.( If you like that idea keep the artwork no higher than the top of the TV screen) I think the room has good bones, I wouldn't go overboard stuffing it full of furniture. Just a reminder that the best spot for the TV based on the layout is across from the windows, but you will need some kind of shades liked lined bamboo rollers, fabric romans or something so you can watch T.V. when the sun is on the window side of the house. | ||||
Charles, I think I really like your idea. So I am guessing from everyone's response that there should not be a loveseat in the room? That I should stick with a couch and some strategically placed chairs? | ||||
Just checked in here to see how it is going. Charles D has really given some great advice here. And I agree not to overfill the room with furniture. A love seat rarely sits two, so a good comfortable chair is better, like having a pair of chairs. You are on a roll here with your preparation for your move! Mary Ruth *****We don't see things as they are, we see things as WE are! ***** (Anaias Nin)***** http://pinterest.com/mary_ruth/ | ||||
I've lightened your pic so it's more clear how things are arranged. You've received some very good advice so the only thing I'll add is to be careful with the style and scale of furniture you are purchasing. So much of today's furniture is very large scale and overstuffed and this room is not large enough for that. Don't go too small either. Take careful measurements of the room and draw a plan on graph paper to scale so you will be able to see how items will fit before buying.

**Edited: Thank you so much for lightening that picture up!!** Ok. . .so now on to furniture. Typically I haven't been a fan of Ikea's furniture, only because it's a bit too modern for me. . but I actually like this couch. Thoughts on this? http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/S19875765/ Also, should I go white or cream? That's another thing I love about the above couch, the entire cover is removable so I can make sure it stays nice and clean. The reviews on the couch have been pretty good. Plus you can't beat the price! I found this picture and really like everything about it. .wall color, bamboo shades, drapes, couch color etc. What do you guys think? http://creativeinteriorsbg.blo...ndow-treatments.html | ||||
Ohh, I really like this too. It's a bit more formal, but I could mix it with some casual pieces to tone it down. http://www.coasterfurniture.co...40769&ItemNum=502511 | ||||
Before buying any sofa do try it out in the store to see how comfortable it is. I know the Ektorp seems to have good reviews but when we were shopping for furniture it was the least comfortable one we tried. Lucky "I have always had an aversion to the concepts of in style and out of style." ~Rose Tarlow Inspirational pics: http://inspiration4u.shutterfly.com/ | ||||
Oh of course!! Gotta make sure it is comfortable. I actually thought the Ektorp was comfortable when we sat on it last week. We are going to look at the other one this weekend. I was just wondering which style you guys thought might work better. I know it is personal taste but I always love hearing opinions. | ||||
Chloe, I agree about the the drapes and woven wood/matchstick Roman shades treatment; we've had this exact look in previous homes. It's a classic look. You'll never tire of it. My quibble: I cannot stand to see the word "simplistic" used incorrectly as a substitute for the word "simple," as in the blog posted here. The word actually carries a negative connotation. The word "simplistic" as an adjective means the tendency to oversimplify an issue or a problem by ignoring complexities or complications. A far cry from what the blogger intended, I am sure. That's my vent for today. "I can resist anything but temptation." -- Oscar Wilde | ||||
I did like the fabric on the Coaster sofa, although I'd be careful with rolled arms in a room of your size. A rooled arm is comfortable for your head and neck when you lay down, but they also take up room which could be extra seating space.The color of the fabric should blend with the carpet, so be careful that any bright white doesn't make the carpet look dirty. You can use bright white for lamps or accessories up away from the carpet but since the sofa sits right on it, the two colors have to be compatable. | ||||

Relay for Life readies for another season of success
Friday, January 25, 2013
ROCHESTER — With a new year under way, the Relay for Life of Rochester is gearing up for another successful season.
"It is one of the largest events in town," Dickey added. |

Innovative and cutting edge technology is now hitting vending machines, and even Starbucks and Keurig are getting into the vending business. These machines will dispense "High end premium coffee beverages, including lattes and cappuccinos, in a workplace environment and in less than a minute and half you can have a quality, bistro-type coffee experience right in your office," says Marc Whitener with the National Automatic Merchandising Association (NAMA).
He says the new machines accept credit cards or smartphone payments and are connected to the Internet. And they can also offer value meals, "that will allow you to bundle transactions across multiple machine platforms."
And even though we usually associate vending machines with junk food, many of these machines carry fresh food, even fruit and salads.
These vending machines of the future, some already here around the New Orleans metro area in locations like hospitals and the airport, will also display nutritional information and show a product spinning 360 degrees on a 46-inch touch screen with a tap of a finger, and do all of this without what is probably the biggest problem with vending machines now. "So if you push a button for a certain product and it doesn't vend, it doesn't drop, for whatever reason, the machine knows it doesn't drop and allows you to make another selection," Whitener says, "Or it allows you to get a refund on the spot."
He says the machines are also connected to the Internet so the owner knows if they are empty or need servicing.
This free event will be held at Tulane University on Tuesday, November 13, from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Thousands of products and samples will be given away NAMA says, and they're expecting thousands of Tulane students to attend.

River Grove students address bullying with video
Jenny Biegel, a social worker at River Grove Elementary School, works the video camera as she records a scene organized by a group of students dealing with bullying. | David Pollard~Sun-Times Media
Updated: November 26, 2012 6:22AM
RIVER GROVE — No one likes a bully and some eighth grade girls are empowering their classmates to do something about dealing with them.
October is Bullying Prevention Awareness Month, and at River Grove Elementary School, a group of students decided put together their own video on how to stop bullying. Valerie Delgado, Gabriela Giza, Natalie Ross, Jazmine Rockett, Nataliya Grygorash, Alison Laton and Irma Tovar wrote the script and school social worker Jenny Biegel worked the video camera.
"We put out the message for students to stop bullying and to stand up for yourself in a bullying situation," Ross said.
Student Services Coordinator Denise Nero helped the students put out the correct message about bullying. She said the school has focused on getting a positive message out about how to deal with bullying since the beginning of the month through different activities.
"We want to teach them to stand up, but be polite about it," she said. "It's kind of like stomping out a fire."
The short video takes place in the school's library, with two girls reading at a table. Another group of girls tells them they are sitting in their seats and to get up, but others come to the rescue to stop the bullying, climaxing with the group saying in unison, "We all need to stop bullying."
The video will be shown in class.
"We're putting it up on our server so teachers can play in on their television," Nero said.
Biegel said this is a way of empowering students when bullying occurs.
"A lot of them watch these kinds of things happening," she said.
Nero said the younger students look up to the older ones. She believes this video will give students the courage to do the right thing.
"It makes a mental map to the correct response," she said.
She said making the video along with the message builds the group's confidence as they move to high school.
"Anything to get them involved and take a leadership role," she said. "It's their last year."

text: The Titanic Chef Throwdown Against Cystic Fibrosis makes its maiden voyage to benefit the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. The historic evening launches from the decks of Titanic: The Artifact Exhibit at 6pm at the San Diego Natural History Museum, and features a fleet of top-ranked chefs, captained by San Diego Chef of the Year Michael McDonald. Why embark? The average cystic fibrosis (CF) patient takes 45 pills a day and loses lung capacity each year. Chef McDonald got involved to raise awareness for a personal reason: his four-year old son Connor has CF. On this one spectacular night, experience a modern interpretation of the eight-course dining menu of the R.M.S. Titanic on the fateful night of April 14, 1912. The event will plot a course towards research advances to help the 70,000 CF heroes like Connor. In addition to McDonald, participating chefs include: Isabel Cruz (Barrio Star), Brian Malarkey (Gingham), Augustin "Augie" Saucedo (Sycuan Casino & Resorts), Scotty Wagner (24 Carrots), Bratzo Basagoitia (Café Secret), and Jennifer Muratore (The Elegant Truffle). Tickets are $250; seats are limited. Sponsorships are available. (858/452-2873, www.cffchefthrowdown.com)

A pair of HEAD racquet rebels made major breakthroughs on the eve of the London Olympic tournament, with Dutchman Robin Haase defending the title of Kitzbuhel and Serb Bojana Jovanovski claiming her first trophy on the WTA.
Haase, playing with his YouTek IG Prestige Mid, beat German top seed Philipp Kohlschreiber in a 6-7(2), 6-3, 6-2 comeback at the bet-at-home Cup in the famed Austrian mountain resort of Kitzbuhel. It was a massive defensive effort for the 42nd-ranked Dutchman, who saved 13 of the 14 break points he faced against his German opponent.
World No. 97 Jovanovski swung her YouTek IG Instinct MP in a 6-3, 6-1 defeat of American Julia Cohen at the Baku Cup in the central Asian nation of Azerbaijan, one of the most far-flung stops on the WTA.
In Los Angeles at the Farmers Classic, Australian Marinko Matosevic (YouTek Prestige Pro) put up a fight before bowing to Lithuanian Ricardas Berankis, a former world junior champion, 7-5, 6-1 in the semi-finals.
Haase made a quick turnaround, flying to the London Games with fresh confidence only a few hours after collecting his Kitzbuhel trophy. "I didn't feel too much pressure even if I was the defending champion. From the quarter-finals on, I started a bit nervously, before calming down and winning. I'm happy I won here again. I don't think many players have made it here twice. It doesn't happen too often nowadays. I'm very proud of that."
Jovanovski had played a Sydney semi-final 18 months ago; she becomes the sixth player ranked around 100 or higher to win a WTA title in 2012. The trophy came as she played a main draw for only the third time. "I've worked really hard for this. I had two weeks preparation before this tournament, so I was expecting to play good here. I went to court with nothing to lose. I was so positive and was just trying to fight for every point and not think about win or lose, just to play the point the best I can." She won in just over 90 minutes with five breaks of serve.
