'So You Think You Can Dance': Nigel Lythgoe thinks Jakob or Russell will win season 6
Seeing Legacy eliminated this week after the phenomenal Travis Wall "War of the Roses/Mr. & Mrs. Smith" piece he performed with Ellenore? And Mollee axed too, though she had one of the finest performance shows of the season this Tuesday?
Well, it proves that America is not always voting based on merit.
But as judge Adam Shankman points out in the clip below, the votes probably weren't votes against Legacy and Mollee, just more in support of married couple Ryan and Ashleigh.
After Ashleigh's untimely injury and Ryan's romantic plea to vote for her, the tide clearly turned their way.
So Legacy and Mollee are out of crown contention, but as you'll see in their clip, they couldn't be more proud of the Top 6 and seem to be in great spirits regardless.
One thing they may be bummed about, however, is that they're now ineligible for this year's special prize, courtesy of Adam.
Adam, whose first professional job as a dancer was on the Academy Awards show 20 years ago, is actually directing the broadcast in 2010 and has announced that he will be hiring the Top 2 dancers to perform on the stage that night.
Sweet, no?
So, who will take the job?
Well, according to judge Nigel Lythgoe, this race is really between Jakob and Russell...
So who do you think will win next week?
Any thoughts on seeing Mollee and Legacy cut?

Power surge: Albert Pujols hit 13 home runs in JuneIsrael Fehr at Big League Stew1 hr ago
As the Los Angeles Angels' top-level decision-makers engage in a power struggle that likely sees GM Jerry Dipoto leave the organization, Albert Pujols showed he 's really the one with all the power with his play on the field.
Pujols swatted a solo shot to left field in the Angels' 2-1 win over the Yankees on Tuesday to close out June with 13 home runs in 27 games. The 13 home runs in a month tied an Angels record held by Mo Vaughn and Tim Salmon, but where does it rank among Pujols' best power performances over a single month ?
It's not No. 1, but it's close.

Reports: Jerry Dipoto out as Angels GMIsrael Fehr at Big League Stew2 hrs ago
What seemed likely late Tuesday night on the West Coast looks to have become a reality Wednesday morning with multiple reports emerging that general manager Jerry Dipoto is no longer the general manager of the Los Angeles Angels.
Friction between Dipoto and longtime manager Mike Scioscia over the in-game use of scouting information is believed to be the main cause of conflict. Yahoo's Tim Brown termed therift between the two as "irreparable."
Mike Montgomery leads the M's to victory with second straight shutoutChris Cwik at Big League Stew10 hrs ago
Take a look around the league with Big League Stew's daily wrap up. We'll hit on all of the biggest moments from the day that you may have missed, while providing highlights, photos and interesting stats.
Move over Felix Hernandez, the Seattle Mariners have apparently discovered a new ace. Mike Montgomery dazzled again Tuesday, leading the M's to a 5-0 victory over the San Diego Padres.
It wasn't the first time Montgomery tossed a complete game shutout this season. In fact, he did it in his previous start. This two-game stretch puts him in rare company.
Mike Montgomery of the #Mariners is just the eighth pitcher since 2010 with back-to-back shutouts. Max Scherzer also did it this year.
Montgomery was absolutely filthy during Tuesday's contest. He carried a no-hitter into the seventh inning before Yangervis Solarte doubled with one out. That was the only hit Montgomery would allow during the start.
Over his nine shutout innings, Montgomery gave up just one hit. He walked four and struck out seven. After six starts in the majors this season, Montgomery has a 1.62 ERA.

Report: Angels general manager Jerry Dipoto thinking about resigningChris Cwik at Big League Stew11 hrs ago
The rift between Los Angeles Angels general manager Jerry Dipoto and manager Mike Scioscia may have already been resolved. To no one's surprise, it looks like Scioscia came out on top.
[Check out Big League Stew on Tumblr for even more baseball awesomeness.]
Dipoto is reportedly considering resigning, according to Alden Gonzalez of MLB.com. The team would not confirm Gonzalez's report, but a source told him "it's possible" when asked whether Dipoto was leaving the club.
If Dipoto isn't resigning, he certainly acted weird following Tuesday's game.
Two sources say that #Angels GM Jerry Dipoto packed up his office and left today. Club official: "Status quo here as of now."
Rosenthal also couldn't confirm whether Dipoto was out for sure, and said it's possible the GM may have acted out of emotion.
Possible that Dipoto acted out of emotion. Possible that he is resigning. Nothing confirmed.
Gorkys Hernandez's awful mistake on the bases nearly costs PiratesChris Cwik at Big League Stew12 hrs ago
Being thrown out while running the bases is probably the most embarrassing baseball error in existence. We can understand the occasional misplay of a ball, or a bad throw, but there should really be no excuse for screwing up on the bases.
[On this week's StewPod: Looking back at a fun week in baseball with Jeff Passan]
Despite that, it happens. And when it does, it produces some of the most hilarious bloopers. The latest player to become a victim of baseball's cruelest error was Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Gorkys Hernandez.
With the game tied 4-4 in the 14th inning, Hernandez made a base-running gaffe that nearly cost his team the game. After a one out single by Chris Stewart, Hernandez entered the game as a pinch runner. He did not do his job very well.
The next batter, Josh Harrison, sprayed a double to center, and that's when things got confusing for Hernandez.
Center fielder Rajai Davis nearly got to the ball, diving at the last second. The ball deflected off Davis' glove, but Hernandez didn't see it.Wed, Jul 17:08 PM EDTPittsburgh at DetroitPreview Game
Chris Sale ties record with eighth straight double-digit strikeout startChris Cwik at Big League Stew13 hrs ago
Chicago White Sox ace has been unhittable over his last couple starts. That's not really hyperbole, either, Sale has been beyond fantastic lately.
He proved as much Tuesday against the St. Louis Cardinals. Sale allowed one run on six hits over eight spectacular innings. He issued just one walk and struck out 12 during the outing.
That last number is significant. Tuesday marked the eighth straight start in which Sale posted double-digit strikeouts. That ties a major-league record.
Chris Sale officially has joined Pedro Martinez as the only pitchers in baseball history to fan 10+ in eight straight games.
Sale joined Pedro Martinez as the only other pitcher to complete the feat. That's quite the achievement.
Sale doesn't seem to be slowing down, either. He's been particularly dominant in June.
In the month of June, Sale has thrown 41 1/3 innings. He has struck out 72, walked eight and allowed 25 hits.
Unfortunately for the Sox, Sale's dominance has not resulted in as many wins as you might expect.Wed, Jul 18:15 PM EDTChi White Sox at St. LouisPreview Game
Dee Gordon flies around the bases for inside-the-park home runChris Cwik at Big League Stew16 hrs ago
Saying Miami Marlins infielder Dee Gordon is fast is like saying water is wet. It's his most defining quality, and everyone knows it.
That's why it shouldn't come as a surprise that Gordon was responsible for the first inside-the-park home run at Marlins Park. The hit came in the second inning of Tuesday's game.
[On this week's StewPod: Looking back at a fun week in baseball with Jeff Passan]
With two men on base, and Ryan Vogelsong on the mound, Gordon ripped an 84 mph changeup to the right center gap. Since Gordon is known as more of a slap hitter, the outfielders were playing fairly close to the infield.
This allowed Gordon to turn on the jets. Right fielder Gregor Blanco would reach the ball first, and either slightly misplayed it, or tried to flip it to center fielder Angel Pagan.
By the time Pagan grabbed the ball, Gordon was already rounding third base. The Giants attempted to throw Gordon out at home, but didn't come close.
Pete Mackanin to serve as Phillies manager for the rest of the yearChris Cwik at Big League Stew17 hrs ago
The Philadelphia Phillies are about to undergo some major changes. Some of that turnover has already begun.
Manager Ryne Sandberg resigned, leaving the club because he was tired of losing. Just a few days later, Andy MacPhail agreed to become the team's next president. Based on MacPhail's press conference Monday, many other changes seem to be in the cards for Philadelphia.

At this year's MLB All-Star game, you can get pizza delivered to your seatMike Oz at Big League Stew19 hrs ago
The MLB All-Star game is full of wonder. You get to see things like Clayton Kershaw and Max Scherzer playing for the same team. You can imagine a world where Mike Trout and Miguel Cabrera are in the same lineup. And in another mind-blowing new development, you, the fan, can have pizza delivered right to your seat after a few pecks at your smartphone.
Yes, this is true. The Cincinnati Reds, their concession company Delaware North and MLB Advanced Media have partnered to bring pizza delivery to the baseball-watching masses at Great American Ballpark, home of next month's All-Star game.

Josh Hamilton is back with the Rangers and things could get really interestingMike Oz at Big League Stew20 hrs ago
The start-and-stop, up-and-down season of Josh Hamilton starts up again Tuesday night, as he's been activated by the Texas Rangers and will start in left field against the Baltimore Orioles.
Hamilton, 34, was on the disabled list for a month with an injured hamstring, but that hasn't been the biggest issue surrounding the former MVP this season. He admitted a drug relapse to MLB, which resultedin a high-profile non-suspension. The Los Angeles Angels, though, weren't happy about this and shipped Hamilton back to the Texas Rangers.

Linpus Lite 2.1 review
Linpus Lite 2.1 review is a review of the latest release of Linpus Lite, a desktop distribution based on Fedora.
The distribution is published by Linpus Technologies, Inc., a Linux/Android software solutions outfit based in Taiwan. This is about the only Linux provider that does not have a defined release schedule. Whether that's a good or bad practice is not something I'm going to address here.
This article is all about my experience installing and testing the Linpus Lite 2.1 desktop on real hardware and in a virtual environment. A problem I've always identified with every release of Linpus Lite is that the installed and available applications in its repository tend to be at least three or more revisions behind the latest editions. And from my experience with this latest release, nothing has changed in that regard.
According to the official announcement, a few highlights of Linpus Lite 2.1 are: Support for dual-booting with Windows 8 on computers with UEFI and with Secure (or Restricted) Boot on, a new easier to use login window, and support for native (GTK+) as well as HTML5 applications in a desktop layout known as Icon mode.
Like virtually all Linux distributions, the released installation image is a Live image, with a graphical installer that can be started from the Live desktop.
The Linux Lite 2.1 Installer: The installer is a graphical application that's a customized version of a much older release of Anaconda (version 17.29), the graphical installation program of Fedora. The screenshot below shows the options on the installer's Partitioning step. Aside from the two automated disk partitioning options ("Use All Space" and "Use Free Space") and the manual option (Create Custom Layout), it also has an option ("Do you want to install recovery?") that, if enabled, will create a recovery partition. I don't remember ever seeing that option on any version of Anaconda or in the installation program of any other Linux distribution. In one of my test installations, I enabled that option and got a recovery partition of about 2 GB. Whether it will work as intended is something I've so far not tested.
This screenshot shows the default partitions created when the first automated partitioning option is selected and a recovery partition is created. The last logical partition (sda6) is the recovery partition.
The second automated disk partitioning option ("Use Free Space") indicates that the installer could free up unused space from the partition of an existing OS on the target disk, but in a couple of my test installations, that did not quite work as advertised, even though there was enough free space on the /home partition of the existing OS. This screenshot shows the installer's error message from those installation attempts.
This screenshot shows the manual disk layout window. It shows possible support for RAID and the Linux Logical Volume Manager (LVM), but when I clicked the Create button to create a new partition, the standard partition type was the only option available.
And this (screenshot) shows the supported filesystems. Btrfs is not supported.
On the user account setup step, password strength is enforced, but as you'll discover in the next section, the user password specified at this step does not work.
Automatic timezone detection is not supported, a feature that's now standard in the installation programs of many popular Linux distributions. Aside from that, there's no facility to specify a hostname for the computer and also no support for custom bootloader location. The latter is not a problem for computers with UEFI firmware, but will be when attempting a dual-boot setup on a computer with Legacy BIOS.
Adventure at the Login Screen: This screenshot shows the GRUB boot menu. GRUB 2 is the version of the GRand Unified Bootloader used. The last entry in this screenshot is the recovery option that I did get to test yet.
And this is a screenshot of the login window that the release announcement claimed to be "easier to use." That claim turns out to be false, because on all my test installations of Linpus Lite 2.1 on real hardware and in a virtual environment, attempting to log into the new systems was the most difficult time I've ever had with any login window. I just could not log in using the password I specified for the user during the installation process.
And I made sure that I was using the correct language and correct keyboard layout.
The error message was always "incorrect username or password." And it didn't matter whether the Caps Lock was on or off.
So just to be able to login, I had to switch to one of the virtual terminals and tried to log in from there. Interestingly enough, I still could not log in using the standard user account (reason: incorrect password). Note that this was not just with one installation, but several. However, I could log in as root. Once inside, I changed the user password, switched back to the main terminal and then was able to log in with the new password – using the same keyboard.
Linpus Lite 2.1 Desktop: The Linpus Lite 2.1 desktop presented a much better experience than the login window. The desktop environment used is said to be the Cinnamon desktop environment, but at first glance it appears to be modified GNOME 3 desktop. It's actually a highly modified version of the Cinnamon desktop. However, like most applications installed and available in the distribution's repository, this is a very old version of the Cinnamon desktop. How old? How about Cinnamon 1.6. The latest version of that desktop environment is Cinnamon 2.0.
This screenshot is that of the default desktop. It is the easiest-to-customize desktops available on any Linux distribution I've ever used. The stack of widgets to the left edge of the desktop can be switched off.
And the layout of the desktop can be switched from the standard mode (the default) to a mode called the Icon mode.
This is a screenshot of the desktop in the default mode.
And this is of the same desktop in Icon mode. The stack of widgets to the left edge of the desktop is available regardless of what mode is in use.
The top-left and bottom-left corners of the desktop are Hot Corners. When activated, the top-left corner presents an Expo view of the desktop, which shows that there are two virtual desktops or workspaces enabled out of the box.
And when activated, the bottom-left corner presents a Scale view of the current workspace. The problem with the Hot corners, is that the utility used on the Cinnamon Desktop to configure them is not in the System Settings or in the Administrative, Preferences, or System Tools menu categories.

The install is odd, the configuration in half broken as you stated, and the whole experice is a bit odd.
The packages are old and insecure, as well as not have a good variety of software. It seems kind of sad if you are a RedHat guy, and outright pathetic if you are from the Ubuntu or Debian camp.
But the biggest thing for me was how much slower it was then Linux Mint or Mepis.
I tried it out it is not bad really. My biggest complaint was lack of apps. I wanted to install wine to play a couple of games and I can't find it in the repo and I couldn't find a compatible version that would work.
Thanks for informing that Linpus is alive and well. I recall it as the Linux system installed on first generation Acer netbooks. It was such a PITA for the consumers who bought it that Acer went pure Windows after that. From the screen shots, it still looks crude.

Document scanners for the iPhone
These apps will be like putting a mini scanner in your pocket.
There are tons of apps that let you "scan" pages through the iPhone's fantastic camera. Some of these apps can give you some great results. This AppGuide will help you sort out which scanner app will best suit your needs.
Essential Apps
Scanner Pro by Readdle
by Readdle
Scanner Pro is the essential scanning app for iOS. The app is dead simple to use and gets you in and out quickly. Scanner Pro helps you create some great looking scans. The app supports scanning documents, business cards, receipts, notes, and whiteboards. Scanner Pro lets you work with multiple pages and includes tools for moving, deleting or combining pages. Scanner Pro auto detects the edge of the paper to help you capture what you need. When you are finished scanning, the resulting PDF file can be password protected and shared to places like Dropbox, Evernote, iDisk, or any WebDAV server. You can send scans through email or even fax them. The fax functionality is an additional $0.99 per use.The app earns the essential spot because of the fast and easy operation, great sharing options, and fantastic looking scans.
JotNot Scanner+ | scan PDFs from documents, receipts, faxes, expenses, and whiteboards
by MobiTech 3000 LLC
JotNot Scanner Pro is a great alternative to Scanner Pro. The app provides many of the same features. The app includes multi-page support, page edge detection, faxing support, camera stabilization, PDF/PNG/JPEG support, and integration with the built in photo library. The app has a great interface that many may prefer over Scanner Pro. The app also lets you send your scans to Dropbox, iDisk, Google Docs, and Box.net. JotNot also provides built in email support. JotNot Scanner Pro is a great option.
Notable Apps
DocScanner 8
by Haave Oy
DocScanner is another excellent option. The price is great and it has been through many updates to perfect the app. The app features OCR support and image enhancements. The app will help you make your images look great through cropping, sharpening, and fixing the white balance and distortion. The app shares your files through Dropbox, Evernote, Google Docs, WebDAV, and iDisk. The app can also share documents through a local Wi-Fi share. The app is a great alternative to Scanner Pro, although its OCR support is subpar.
Image To Text - OCR
by Ricoh Innovations
Image To Text OCR is perhaps one of the best OCR apps in the App Store today. It works as you would expect, snap a photo of a piece of paper and watch the OCR magic occur. The only difference is that the actual OCR process does not happen on your phone but rather on separate servers which makes the process much faster and easier on your CPU. Finally, you could send the finalized file via email or to your Evernote account. Overall, this app is good if you have decent lighting, but as a free option, I recommend giving it a try.
CamScanner Free| PDF Document Scanner and OCR
by INTSIG Information Co.,Ltd
The free alternative to Scanner Pro is CamScanner Free. The app includes even more sharing options including: Google Docs, Evernote, Dropbox, iDisk, email and Box.net. The app supports multiple pages and ensures your images aren't taken with shaky hands. The app helps you make great looking scans through auto-cropping and color/brightness adjustments. The app does not try to sell you in-app upgrades and is a wonderful free option. However, some have criticized its reliability as far as storing documents.
Genius Scan - PDF Scanner
by The Grizzly Labs
Genius Scan is another free option for the iPhone. The app features page frame detection, perspective correction, post-processing, multi-page support, Wi-Fi sharing, iBooks integration, and PDF/JPG support. The app has some ads and is limited in its sharing functionality. The in-app upgrade to Genius Scan+ removes ads and includes options to share with Dropbox, Evernote, and Google Docs. The app performs well for a free app, but the quality of images could be better.
Perfect OCR: document scanner with high quality OCR
by Piksoft Inc.
Perfect OCR builds on TurboScan, which is also featured in this AppGuide. The app takes all of the great features found in that app like SureScan and adds OCR capabilities. OCR or optical character recognition takes an image and applies a text layer over the image. The app is hit or miss with OCR conversions. If you are working with some standard paper print outs the app performs great. If you try to scan newspapers the app will not perform as well. The app can be a very useful for turning an image into text.
Decent Apps
TurboScan: quickly scan multipage documents into high-quality PDFs
by Piksoft Inc.
TurboScan is an alternative to Scanner Pro. The app includes AirPrint support, edge detection, document numbering, and "SureScan" functionality. SureScan is a method of taking multiple pictures and having the app automatically pick the best one for you. The sharing options of the app are limited to email. The app fails to compete with Scanner Pro because the export options, PDF encryption, and many more features are simply lacking from this app.
Pocket Scanner - Scan Images to Encrypted Multi-Page PDFs
by Kdan Mobile Software LTD
PocketScanner is even more limited than TurboScan in its scanning functionality. The app will allow you to adjust exposure, support multiple pages, preview scans in PDF format, email scans and import images from your photo library. The app also lets you store tons of other files. The app really does fail as a scanner app for the iPhone. The lack of framing and other standard scanning features degrade the quality of this app. PocketScanner has great potential, but is not ready for prime time.
Page Scanner
by Chaoji Li
Page Scanner works as both a scanning and OCR app for the iPhone. The app fails to deliver on standard scanning app features like border detection and a visual guide to take good looking scans. The app does perform excellent OCR on good looking scans. The app is also limited in file sharing. The app can email scans, send scans through iTunes, or allow access on a local Wi-Fi network. The app is a nice option, but a little pricey for the current functionality.

The Right Sets for Strength and Size
By Scott Quill
More Fitness Lists
Straight Sets
What they are: The usual—a number of repetitions followed by a rest period, then by one or more sets of the same exercise.
Why they're useful: The rest periods and narrow focus of straight sets help add mass and build maximal strength. As long as you rest enough between sets (1 to 3 minutes), your muscle, or group of muscles, will work hard two, three, even five times in a workout.
How to use them: The start of your workout is the best time to do straight sets, regardless of your experience level, Ballantyne says. Your energy and focus are high at the start, so it's the best time to execute difficult moves. Perform three straight sets of six to eight repetitions of a challenging exercise like the bench press, pullup, or squat; aim to do the same number of repetitions in each set, with either the same or increasing amounts of weight.

What Pinterest Has Shown Me
I became Pinterested a few months ago, after having spent as many months "not really understanding the whole Pinterest thing." But once I began creating boards and pinning things to them, I was hooked. Now I've become incredibly selective about the things I pin, and look at my collection of Pinterest boards (and pins) as something to nurture and cherish. It's a sickness at this point.
Different people use Pinterest for different reasons. Some use it to collect photos to use as inspiration for a wedding or project. Some use it to find great new recipe or craft ideas. Some use it to track fashion trends or find the latest brilliant idea, such as drilling holes in plastic children's toys to create a toothbrush holder (see my "Brilliant" board.)
I use Pinterest for some of the reasons above, but I've also seen an unexpected benefit surface.
Pinterest has helped me define my home design style.
In addition to recipes, fun ideas, and fashions, somewhere along the way I began pinning photos of room interiors that appealed to me. And again, I was very selective about the things I pinned. The room had to stir something deep within my soul in order for me to pin it; if I thought something simply looked neato, I'd pass. It had to make me go "ooooh" and "mmmmmmm" in order to warrant a pin.
Weeks later, I had accumulated enough photos in the board that I could step back and look at it as a whole. And bingo! I realized that what I was looking at absolutely defined my home decor tastes. Before I created this board, if someone asked me what my style was, I would have said something like, "Heck, I don't know" or "All I know is, I like warmth and color." But now, with my board filled with images of the rooms that made me swoon, I can see it clearly before me. And here's the verdict:
I like deep, rich colors and rooms with a slight bohemian feel. Slightly eclectic. Kinda smoky. Smoldering. Comfortable. A little bit old fashioned.
And here's the interesting thing: There's not a stitch of white to be found. Anywhere. Maybe a shelf here or there. But overall, it's saturated hues of gold, teal, magenta (there's a crayon color for you!), red, purple…ahhhh.
Here's my Home Decor Fantasies board so you can see what I mean:
My Home Decor Fantasies on Pinterest
It's notable that my house really looks nothing like the interiors on my "Home Decor Fantasies" Pinterest board! Ha. But I guess that's why they're called "fantasies." They're rooms I'd love to live in…in my dreams.
For those of you who use Pinterest on a regular basis, have you found the same thing is true? That Pinterest is a bit of a style-defining tool for you, whether it's clothing or rooms or hairstyles or…anything?
(And if you haven't yet joined Pinterest, I have a small piece of advice for you. Run! While you still can!)
(It's incredibly habit-forming.)

I had just posted about Pinterest today….that is is very, very bad! Sucked me right in. I am "new" in the Pinterest world, but I find it fun to explore what is out there.
Barb On Wednesday, March 6 at 4:48 pm
OK. Rees you do have some fabulous ideas, some/many/lots of your taste I really like. Your recipes many/most/ almost all of them I dearly adore but NOW you are shaming me into cleaning out my Pinterest closet. Have been a pinner for awhile now and just sorta threw the stuff into a variety of closets. Well I guess I should be a little more discriminate and pin only to die for stuff. OK see ya in afew weeks cause honey I got a LOT a pins!!!
Katrina in Seattle On Wednesday, March 6 at 4:52 pm
One of my friends tried to hook me on Pinterest "before it was cool" but I just couldn't do it. I consider myself to be pretty techy too – but it just didn't speak to me.
I recently tweeted, "Based on my current enthusiasm for Etsy, I predict that in about 5 years I'll be all over this "Pinterest" thing."
Judith On Wednesday, March 6 at 4:57 pm
I avoided Pinterest for about a year and then once I started I was like a junkie going for a fix! I had to wean myself off it and now I'm down to once or twice a week. It amazes me that great ideas from people all over the world just keep coming in. You'd think we'd run out of things to pin, but we don't. Now I've got to go check out that Houzz.com!!! By the way I didn't have a single white thing in my house when we lived in Oklahoma. Things may have started white, but after a while everything has a little of the Oklahoma red dirt tone to it.
Suzy B On Wednesday, March 6 at 5:00 pm
I for sure use Pinterest as a designing tool. I pinned items for my dining room. Printed off a lot of the ideas and transformed the room. My daughter tells her friends "this is my moms pinterest room." Too funny but it's true. Found similar items at local stores and I must say it looks great. Ready to start on my office. Soooo many ideas, but doing the same thing…printing off the ideas and creating a mood board. Going with the grayish blues which are so hot right now. I did find that painting the walls using the sample paint colors really help in the selection process. My daughter and I worked on her room together. Even created a large chalkboard wall framed with white trim….Pinterest has made me excited about decorating again.
Megan M. On Wednesday, March 6 at 5:00 pm
You are sooo right Ree!! Pinterest is incredibly habit forming! I can't stay away. I turn to it for all my needs-cooking, fashion, makeup, and DIY. It's the best thing ever!
cluttercafe On Wednesday, March 6 at 5:13 pm
I am a pinterest addict! Yes, I have totally discovered that I have a dinstinct style that is 10% me and 90% wish it was me. Most of my boards are things I would love to do someday. Home DIY projects, fashion styles, cooking, etc.
Aaaaahhh maybe someday!
Sheryl Anne On Wednesday, March 6 at 5:16 pm
From your post above, it seems that your decorating preferences and your clothing choices have alot in common! Rich colors and bohemian-ish style..very beautiful.
Kimberly On Wednesday, March 6 at 5:19 pm
I use Pinterest to help plan my wedding — it is great to see ideas that other people had that you might want to incorporate.
You also see what you don't want to do on your wedding day. Both are nice things to know!
Donna On Wednesday, March 6 at 5:20 pm
Like you Ree, I joined about 6 months ago and could not figure it out. Then about two months ago I got it and I'm hooked. It's been so much fun finding things I'd like to share with my girls and grandchildren…a little bit about who I am and what I love. It's addicting though. I've got 80 boards now and I never dreamed I'd have more than maybe a dozen. Some of the pinners could be my best friends, we have so much in common. Love it!
goosefeathers On Wednesday, March 6 at 5:24 pm
Pinterest – I'm in love with it and I live in fear of it – fear that if I join I'll never get off that thing and live a normal life. I LOVE your interior design pin board, Miss Ree – so expressive. Your actual rooms might not look like your pins but they tell a story about what really moves you. Long before Pinterest I've kept scrapbooks of interiors I love – I've got a book of 20 years of clippings. When I recently went to work with an architect to design a new beach cottage she asked for my scrapbook. She said, "This will get me right into your head". Apparently, the choices we make are very telling.
Jill G On Wednesday, March 6 at 5:27 pm
Amen Sister! Step away from the Pinterest… (ah heck, who am I kidding? I'm going there now…)
Sally K On Wednesday, March 6 at 5:33 pm
I love Pinterest for so many reasons. It's where I keep party planning ideas, its my recipe box, its motivation to workout more, it helps me be a better Mom through activity ideas, and above all makes me craft/create things I love more than I ever have before. It's amazing!!!
Jane P On Wednesday, March 6 at 5:44 pm
I love that I can pin things that inspire me. I used to print them out and paste them in binders. Since I already have 6 binders, this will definitely be a space saver.
kat-in-texas On Wednesday, March 6 at 5:51 pm
I'm with you….life is too short to live amongst white stuff! I love CoLoR!!!!
p.s. Did you see where one board owner asked you to come to France to cook for him? lol
tonia from kentucky On Wednesday, March 6 at 5:55 pm
Love it…..i love to cook and the quotes and yes the decorating but my house will never look like my dreams lol but thats what makes dreaming fun……….but the recipes are wonderful i love them!!!
Kimberly B On Wednesday, March 6 at 6:04 pm
Pinterest has definitely brought insight into things i liked, even though it started out as a place to collect fashion, home, and recipe ideas. So fascinating! i actually wrote a blog about the same thing last year! http://parishbailey.blogspot.com/2012/08/pinterest-insight.html?m=0
Celeste On Wednesday, March 6 at 6:07 pm
It takes one to know one. I'm 93 years old and still gravitate toward the turquoise and teal shades of blue.
hello haha narf On Wednesday, March 6 at 6:17 pm
i am cracking up that over a year ago i created my "dream home" board and pinned two (or more?) photos of your kitchen at the lodge. the images were taken by the lettered cottage and posted originally on layla's site. i commented something about you having hte most magnificent kitchen i could possibly imagine. perfection!
also laughing that in my dream home board i have that same kitchen with the blue cupboards, but i commented that i adored all the wood and not the blue! guess i am not so bohemian…
Nezzy (Cow Patty Surprise) On Wednesday, March 6 at 6:21 pm
Dang, this Ozark Farm Chick has steered away from Pinterest in fear that I'd enter and never surface. I do believe it'd be addictin' for sure!!!! :o)
From the busy hills and hollers of the time consumin' Missouri Ponderosa, ya'll have yourselves one amazingly blessed day!!!!
Melissa P On Wednesday, March 6 at 6:22 pm
Hi Ree,
Yes, I completely relate to your observation. I am somewhat new to pintrest and have identified through a collage of pins a style that I would not have identified before. I love the light aqua chandelier that you pinned. Beautiful.
Emily W. On Wednesday, March 6 at 6:22 pm
I love Pinterest. It is most certainly addicting, but I think the addiction is worth it. It's not like I'm addicted to heroin. I'm addicted to something useful that helps me figure out what I like, and what I don't like, while also giving me ideas of things to try out so that my life can have variety. I don't have my own home yet (military family) but when I do I'd love to incorporate at least some of the ideas I have on my boards. Food boards are extremely useful. I've found and made many recipes on there and some turned out yummy, some were just okay, while others were disgusting and I have since deleted that pin for all time from my board.
I also agree with some other comments. Houzz.com is like Pinterest for Houses. There are tons of rooms that I love, and it's helping me find out what style I like for decor and what I don't like at all. Quite a few of the things I've seen on Pinterest came from Houzz.com.
SueDeeSue On Wednesday, March 6 at 6:36 pm
Love the colors and textures of your decor page. Not sure I completely understand Pinterest – but it looks interesting.
Juls Owings On Wednesday, March 6 at 6:38 pm
Hook, line and sinker…daily habit. I do rooms like you…what I would have if I could build my own place by myself and live by myself. I do clothes to see what I would like to wear if I had the life style I really would like to have (fantasy) and then there is reality, DIY projects, gardening projects, different recipes, etc…I think Pinterest replaced the coffee I gave up LOL
Paula B. On Wednesday, March 6 at 6:58 pm
Didn't know what the buzz was all about for the longest time then I, too, became addicted. True story: was perusing a home decor board one day, exclaiming over all the pretties and marveling at how I loved everything on it. I scrolled to the top to see where I might be, yep, it was my own board. Sad, huh !
Vivian L. On Wednesday, March 6 at 7:01 pm
Hmm, I would have guess your color choices and themes by the clothes that you've been giving away. You seem to like to wear rich deep colors with a slight Bohemian theme.
Christine Campbell On Wednesday, March 6 at 7:08 pm
PINTEREST is one of my guilty pleasures but really, I've learned a lot from it – I've created my grandparent's 60th wedding anniversary cake from a photo on there, I've cleaned out the drains in my bathroom with a concoction I found on there, and I've dreamed over and over about the places people have posted and hoping someday I get to travel to at least one of them. love it!!! but definitely more addicting than facebook. lol
Laurie Pester On Wednesday, March 6 at 7:15 pm
Hi ya' all, I need some help. I don't get it. I really don't. It looks so fun but I'm not sure
what to do to get involved. It makes me feel very out of it..
Any suggestions are so very welcome.
Thank you much,
Jennifer Bohrer On Wednesday, March 6 at 7:21 pm
hey Laurie….look at this and be sure to follow the link to adding a "pin it "button to your browser….
have fun!
Jennifer Bohrer On Wednesday, March 6 at 7:18 pm
Funny, I have several boards of white! My dream house has huge libraries, ballrooms, spiral staircases, towers lots of cozy reading places and an amazing finished attic, oh and windows everywhere. I think the color choices have a lot to do with where you live. I'm in the coast range in Oregon….it's gray and rainy today and I look at misty grey-green trees out every window 10 months of the year, so all white looks fresh. You Ree are out on the often sun-bleached prairie, craving deeper colors. Please come visit my boards!
Susan W On Wednesday, March 6 at 7:20 pm
I am new to Pinterest but I already LOVE it! What a wealth of information. I like that you stepped back and 'saw' yourself. I hadn't thought of it that way!
Kay Pellack On Wednesday, March 6 at 7:33 pm
PW – thank you, thank you, thank you. I have not known what on Earth I would do with Pinterest until I read this post today.
I signed up today I have one dress pinned on one Board, but give me time and I will do better.
I thought Pinterest was kind of oddly self-absorbed and superficial. You showed me that Pinterest is out there to bring out our artistic, visual, creative sides, and let us cultivate them in a positive environment. OK maybe that is not at all what you meant to show, but your Boards are so beautiful and I'll bet such personal expressions of your taste and thoughts. At least that's my take on it.
So wish me luck. I now need to pin a couple or more than a couple of your wonderful recipes to my Food board.
skye ashbrook On Wednesday, March 6 at 7:49 pm
i to am addicted to pinterest! i have had mine for a while so i have way too many pins! but your brilliant board has a lot of things that i love i too pin the same things on my creative and DIY board that i think you would love!
Miss Jean On Wednesday, March 6 at 8:21 pm
I used to find ideas on the internet and write what they were and where I could find them on index cards. Now all I have to do is pin them. It makes it so easy to keep track of the things that inspire you. I'm a quilter so it also gives me so many ideas of not only patterns, but color combinations.
My husband has discovered Pinterest as well and loves it. He mostly looks at the humorous boards. I have finally broken him of pronouncing it Pee-interest!
Beckie On Wednesday, March 6 at 8:22 pm
While I do enjoy seeing others' Pinterest, I don't plan to start my own in this lifetime. I have enough trouble getting things done as it is.
Katie in VA On Wednesday, March 6 at 8:26 pm
I'm convinced that Pinterest was developed by men to convince women to cook and clean more. lol
Q! On Wednesday, March 6 at 8:37 pm
I am a pinterest nutcase! I do find it rounding up my style which I, too, would never be able to define. I was born and raised in Orange County CA and now live outside of Seattle. A city girl I thought and now I find I need a cabin, near a lake that I can take my kayak and definitely need a pair of cowboy boots! Who knew?
Susan On Wednesday, March 6 at 9:08 pm
Yes, I have found the same thing to be true. I pin a lot of art, and have discovered an affinity for bird sculptures and origami that I didn't know I had. I also apparently love pointy-toed flats in multiple colors.
Karen S On Wednesday, March 6 at 9:13 pm
I am with you on this one! It is SO much fun to browse and pin. It is like reading your favorite magazine and snipping out the recipes and pictures that you like and filing them instantly away in your scrapbook- for the day that you need/want them. I love the idea of only pinning the ones that Really mean something to you deep in your soul. But I don't do this. I pin every thing that I like- clutter my boards full, make more boards, and I even use some things too! I have made a few recipes and printed a few posts to post and re-read. Love the Pinteresting!
Lisa M. On Wednesday, March 6 at 9:30 pm
My favorite board is my "Whimsical Artist Garden." It began with and Alice in Wonderland feel, but lately my pins are more creative uses of organic materials. Because I'm probably moving in the next two years, this is a way to take care of my urge to make something, when I know realistically, I need to wait.
Lois On Wednesday, March 6 at 9:55 pm
I would say your style is rustic AND dramatic~ lovely….
Holly Fox On Wednesday, March 6 at 10:04 pm
Looking at your board, I see a lot of inspiration for your downtown building renovation. Something about all of those pictures really reminds me of your building… I think it might be a great place for you to live out some of those fantasy colors, wall textures, etc.
Theresa C On Wednesday, March 6 at 10:04 pm
I too am very selective about what I pin…..only what I think I will do or try. I struggled for as long as I can remember with what my style is…always doing what I saw at other peoples houses. What I ended up with is a mish mash of styles totally not me! I have now figured out through pinterest that I am a cross between functional farmhouse (my own term, I think) and reusable, recyclable and repurposing with a splash of country thrown in! Finally…FREEDOM
mindy@thesuburbanlife On Wednesday, March 6 at 10:05 pm
I love Pinterest. I've been "pinterested" for quite awhile now but just most recently made a startling discovery. I'm a Pinterest Poser. All about the pinning…not so much about the doing. I pin oodles of recipes. Try them? Nah. Oooh…I'm totes going to paint all my picture frames shabby chic white and shellac wild daises all over them. Have I? Nah. Will I do anything about this now that I've publicly addressed my shortcomings? Probably…nah. Still love it though!
Rita On Wednesday, March 6 at 11:18 pm
The circular staircase you pinned is divine. Sublime. Maybe that is the stairway to heaven.
jodi On Wednesday, March 6 at 11:36 pm
I LOVE Pintrest! I haven't went as far as making boards yet! I have made some of the recipes which funny enough are from Tasty Kitchen! And it has inspired me to do some easy projects (I'm a modpodge freak now!). Hopefully, I can nail down some color choices for some inspiration in my dull kitchen very soon and yes….very time consuming. But it is an avenue that I would never have otherwise.
kimberly On Thursday, March 7 at 12:05 am
also fun for remembering that fabulous thing I saw online that I wanted to get some day. Some day often translates to my birthday, or Christmas and I've told the hubby which board will have plenty of things I like to pick from so he can get some idea of something I will like and actually use (instead of a wonderfully thoughtful gift that sits in the closet)
pohai au On Thursday, March 7 at 1:17 am
Iʻve done the same on the houzz website, but I still cant figure out what my style is. go figure.
Berta Mae On Thursday, March 7 at 1:29 am
I love Pinterest! It was so much fun having people following you from all over the world. I felt brilliant on Pinterest-the boards that interested me, the colors of the beautiful pictures. I kept getting deeper and deeper involved in it. But I had to put a stop to it, as I kept on and on and on.
I made the decision however, to stop. I wasn't doing other things, and I felt I was letting Pinterest control me, rather than the other way around. Every once in a while, I'll get nostalgic about it, and want to get back on. But I stop myself. This is a warning–do not start. Don't let it control you! Enjoy it, but put a time limit on it.
Wenonah On Thursday, March 7 at 1:51 am
I love Pinterest because it's helped me get out of a box (rut) I've been in for a long, long time. I'd long since forgotten what it was like to have interests outside my job, not that my job is interesting in the least, or what is on TV every night. I'm cooking new recipes with never-tried-it-before foods and cleaning with homemade cleaners. I've also rediscovered my love, my passion, for beautifully hand-stiched embroidery, tatting and sewing. I'm working on a new tatting project now. And my fingernails haven't been painted this much in years! Love that Nail Art!! Who knew?
Sara Doty On Thursday, March 7 at 4:52 am
Oh REE….I'm addicted too. Sometimes I go to my closet looking for a shirt and stop and say to myself "Oh, that's right, I don't have that shirt in this closet, it's in the imaginary closet on Pinterest!" It's quit fun and lots of great thing on there. I can't wait to start my garden this spring, I have pinned so many doable projects from Pinterest. Have a wonderful day. Sara
Deidra On Thursday, March 7 at 5:39 am
ooooh my.. Pinterest. Terribly addicting and I waste many, many, many minutes there. Ok, hours, but saying minutes made me feel better.
I started out small and it grew. I have no idea how… Ha!.
Home Decor, Gardening, Clothing, Exercise, Bags, My love of books and writing, OSU!, Wichita, Wise and Wise*ss words… SteamPunk??! … Yep, Steampunk… it intrigues me and I have looked around my house and see a Steampunk influence already there. Who knew?
Lots of work related 911/Police/Fire/Ems stuff. Good to know stuff. Food and drinks of all sorts,. Nutella has it's own board. (hence the exercise board…. )
Happy things, Emotional things, Twisted things…. and my lastest favorite.. Kate, Duchess of Cambridge memes… F U N N Y.
Yep, Out of control!
jeninga75 On Thursday, March 7 at 6:43 am
I'm a total Pinterest addict. I kind of feel guilty for all the people I've shown it to, lol. I have to say though, I have found a lot of recipes and blogs that I never would have found otherwise.
Barb Downing On Thursday, March 7 at 6:44 am
Like you Ree, I didn't quite understand Pinterest at first. But my sister kept nagging me and I am so glad she did! Not only have I found great recipes, craft ideas, etc. but the best thing? I find it is a way for me to have a little time just for myself every evening and I don't think about all the worries of everyday life for a while.
living with imperfection On Thursday, March 7 at 6:56 am
Thank you for not loving white!! I have felt downright guilty in the last 5 years for not joining the all white farmhouse party. But its the colors and textures and warmth that speak to me. Love your board!!
Sandy from MI On Thursday, March 7 at 7:26 am
When you described your style you really described how I see you! Warm colors, eclectic, old fashioned…… I guess I am not surprised by your choices!!
Janice On Thursday, March 7 at 7:32 am
I have noticed from your pins that we have the same taste. I love those rich, deep colors and like you my home in no way mirrors what I truly like. Maybe some day I'll get my dream home and can put in it all the things I've ever wanted.
Sandy B On Thursday, March 7 at 7:55 am
I realized the same thing from Pinterest. All of my home decor pins looked very similar. I realized I like lots of white – who knew my house is filled with warm cozy colors! I also realize that I love appetizers!!!!
Marian B On Thursday, March 7 at 7:59 am
I am addicted to Pinterest. I love the DIY Recipes Crafts Education Travel and Quotes. The things that I learn from this site are amazing.
Donna S. from Texas On Thursday, March 7 at 8:13 am
I am seriously considering forming a "Pinterest Anonymous" 12-step program for those of us completely addicted to Pinterest. I am sooooo beyond addicted. Perhaps I will also form a "Pin Anon" group (similiar to Al Anon), for families of those poor souls who have to put up with us!!! Last Thanksgiving when my sister arrived at our home for our family Thanksgiving, she died laughing!!! As she pointed out about 50 things around the house she knew I got from Pinterest, she announced that our Thanksgiving had "over dosed" on Pinterested. However, she admitted everything was fabulous!!!! (And after all, "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery!!!)
Grandma PattyB On Thursday, March 7 at 8:49 am
My boards are for things that I want to do or are doing. I like it because it is a "bookmark" and a "review" at the same time. I love cooking, gardening, crafts, sewing, fresh ideas, natural cleaning solutions and cosmetics and on and on and on. It begins to tell a story about who you truly are, not just your decorating style. I didn't realize how mufti-faceted I was until I took a look at all my boards. Very telling, and, I have a better sense of myself now and I like it! =)
Grandma PattyB On Thursday, March 7 at 8:51 am
Oh… I also have to add this. Did anyone ever do a Vision Board? This is the ULTIMATE Vision Board.
Laurie On Thursday, March 7 at 9:06 am
I have never "Pinterested"…and don't really fully understand it. However, I do see the wisdom and fun in it, and your Brilliant board just may make me a convert. I was a latecomer to email and FB, too!
HeatherD On Thursday, March 7 at 9:08 am
My husband and I bought our first home a year and half ago. It's straight out of the 1970s with orange carpets and dark wood trim with white walls. We had a goldenrod colored fridge which we had to replace in September and are saving $50 a month on our power bill. Our bathroom is also goldenrod, and I mean the shower and toilet. Which by the way has orange carpet completely around the toilet.
We're slowly making the house ours and changing things. I started using Pinterest about a year ago, and I've found that I have been using Pinterest to find ideas for remodeling and redecorating our house. I've found I like a eclectic cottage style, but with color…no more white walls for me. Sometimes I get so tired of the house and all the orange and gold, I pick a Pinterest board (I have one for every room in the house) and I just settle in there and dream about what it will be like when we have the house completely remodeled and redesigned with wood and tile floors, painted cabinets, a large tiled shower and clawfoot bathtub, nice new windows and billowy curtains…and I pretend that's where I live for a while.
I've also become very addicted to using Pinterest to plan our menus. I love it. And I really have very few recipes that we repeat. Not because they're bad, but because there are so many wonderful recipes out there and I'm having too much fun trying different things.
Happy Pinning Ree!
HeatherD On Thursday, March 7 at 9:11 am
I forgot my favorite part…I absolutely love that I can pin products that I want to use or buy, and it saves the link so I can go back to purchase it later.

Okay, I'm beginning to get it…I think. Thank you for posting this!
grandmajohnnie On Thursday, March 7 at 9:26 am
I'm still in the "not really understanding the whole Pinterest thing" phase, but have pinned a few things – don't even know if I've really created a board or category yet! But I'm out there looking and loving it!
Julie Cox On Thursday, March 7 at 9:49 am
Very beautiful, although not too ranchy. These remind me a lot of your blouses.
Sue V On Thursday, March 7 at 10:10 am
I dabble in Pinterest periodically and when I'm in it, find it as addicting as your describing! Here's a neat little free app for your iPad that you will find equally addicting: HOUZZ. Its so much fun!!
Marianne in Mo. On Thursday, March 7 at 10:14 am
My boards are mostly my fantasy of how I would live if I were single, rich, young and could live in a location of my dreams! Kind of my online photographic diary! Love it!
Nareht On Thursday, March 7 at 10:23 am
New to Pinterest and love it. I started looking at Pinterest because I'm remodeling my kitchen and was looking for ideas……….and now my interest has went in many different directions; garden ideas, fashion, cooking etc……..it is somewhat addicting.
Have a great day!
Leslie On Thursday, March 7 at 10:26 am
Pinterest helps me tremendously when we built a house last year to know my style and to learn about new things/gadgets/designs that were available. I always thought I would have darker wood cabinets but found I was drawn to white cabinets and left the darker wood for the floors. I also knew I had to have a mantel hood above my range. I love my kitchen thanks to Pinterest!
Colleen On Thursday, March 7 at 10:54 am
YES! That's *exactly* what I've noticed. My "pinterest home" would be filled with exposed light brick and painted with cool, soothing grays and blues. The focus would be on comfort and nothing too fancy — small boys are a reality! — and organization would reign supreme.
And reciped don't get pinned if it has eleventy-billion ingredients.
Rhonda "Roo" Rankin On Thursday, March 7 at 11:09 am
I agree… if you haven't succumbed to the temptation yet… RUN! I love it but it's a time hoover!
Mary R. On Thursday, March 7 at 11:15 am
Hi Ree! We share similar tastes. I grew up with off white walls and I said when I grow up I will run with scissors and never, EVER, paint a wall white. I know white walls are trendy now, but I can't make myself do it. I'm a nester and warm, rich, colors comfort me. P.S. you have a beautiful home
Shea On Thursday, March 7 at 11:16 am
Pinterest is an addiction. I find myself on there late at night and I get sucked in for an hour or so. Love it!
Darlene On Thursday, March 7 at 11:29 am
I loved the wine cork jewelry organizer. I have EVERY cork from EVERY bottle of wine my husband and I have EVER shared. We will be married 25 years this coming August so that's a LOT of corks!!! I just might see if I'm crafty enough to make one of these!!! : )
MS On Thursday, March 7 at 11:36 am
I never checked into Pinterest. I do NOT need another thing to get addicted to, but your Brilliant page is AWESOME!
Lorile On Thursday, March 7 at 11:38 am
Pinterest is great for wonderful recipes, great design and organizing ideas and those lovely fantasy homes. But I liken Pinterest to the cover of Family Circle magazine, too. One side of the page will show the most decadent dessert imaginable (think Oreo Snickers cake…) and on the other side will show the most ripped, fit chick, touting a weight loss miracle… Cracks me up…
ALEJANDRA On Thursday, March 7 at 11:39 am
I strongly agree Pinterest is very addicting but i think in my case my addiction to pin home decor ideas has somewhat paid off my house definately looks more like a home now than it did before i was familiar with dear Pinterest… I used to feel like i need it a professional interior designer to come and tell me how could i make my walls pretty and not spend tons of money on doing it… now i was able to do it not paying a professional and i LOVE my walls thanks to the inspiration of many other people who had better sense of decoration than me :).
Overall I don't regret being on Pinterest i have learn so much
Julie On Thursday, March 7 at 11:40 am
I love Pinterest! I've learned new crafts, cooked new recipes and found lots of great gift ideas, home ideas and ideas for just about anything you can think of. The best thing is that my computer is much cleaner…no more file folders full of saved emails and page links and my favorites folder is more stream-lined because it's not cluttered full of web pages that I wanted to be able to find later! I have to agree that Houzz is an amazing resource, too! I have saved so many ideas for our retirement home that when we do build it, I know it will turn out to be exactly what we want!!
Kelly Whitley On Thursday, March 7 at 11:53 am
I admit, I am addicted to both Pinterest and Houzz. Both are great sites to explore your decorating dreams!
Alli G. On Thursday, March 7 at 11:53 am
Pinterest is one of my most favorite inventions for that very reason. It helps me find ways to better describe my particular style. And sometimes I even surprise myself when I see the things that move me or draw me in. It's certiainly very inspiring, and I love that.
Carrie Harms On Thursday, March 7 at 12:03 pm
size 8.5 please!
Caryl O On Thursday, March 7 at 12:04 pm
Thanks alot, Ree! I saw a post you had done about Pinterest a couple of months ago. Now I'm hooked. And I've started pesterin' my friends who are not on Pinterest to join the fun. As if I have all the time in the world to sit and look thru all those pins!!
This world is a VERY beautiful place.
Caryl O On Thursday, March 7 at 12:08 pm
P.S. I would say your home style is Rustic Bohemian.
Jill H On Thursday, March 7 at 12:13 pm
I LOVE Pinterest! I am selective too, and sometimes when I'm bored I just go and look at my pins. I know, I'm weird, but jus looking at them brings me some kind of joy. Most of the things that I've pinned are things that I will probably never be able to afford in my own home or places I might never go. Most of the recipes I have not gotten around to trying yet, but I LOVE all my pins, and yes, it's easier to see what my "style" is.
DENISE On Thursday, March 7 at 12:14 pm
I've become more selective on PINTEREST, too. The board that reflects me the most is "country life".
Stephanie On Thursday, March 7 at 12:16 pm
I love pinterest and follow you on it as well………..if only I could actually have a pinterest closet in real life or walk into my pinterest house. It can be depressing but I'm hoooooked and can waste hours on there! lol!
Cathy On Thursday, March 7 at 12:45 pm
ooh–I love it, it is all "impoverished nobility."
Laura Beth On Thursday, March 7 at 12:51 pm
Hello, my name is Laura and I too am a Pinaholic!
Deb W On Thursday, March 7 at 12:59 pm
How interesting! I found out the same thing. Never could tell anyone what my "style" was…but after pinning I realized I LOVE very organic, earthy things. Simple and somehow related to the outdoors. And the colors are outdoor colors too…sky blue, grass green, deep ocean, granite grays, Madrone and Oak and Redwoods. Sounds weird, but is gorgeous!
Lea On Thursday, March 7 at 1:04 pm
I have a love affair with Pinterest. I see all kinds of things on there that I want to do, try or make!
My current obsession is with shoes…
Heather Marie Last - Whipple On Thursday, March 7 at 1:05 pm
I like Pintrest alot because it is easy to understand and quite alot of companies are on there from Kraftfoods to tastefully simple.
some company websites have the pintrest icon
on the bottom of their websites just look for the letter P
Donna On Thursday, March 7 at 1:40 pm
I like Pinterest but have no idea what I am doing. Just know what I like, and click on like. Guess I need a ton of bricks to fall on me to know how to use it properly. Oh well, it is something else to look at.
kris On Thursday, March 7 at 1:53 pm
Suddenly, I realized I was back on pinterest! oh no!!!!!! =)
Luna On Thursday, March 7 at 2:11 pm
I think of Pinterest as a neverending source of happiness. Seriously, you can scroll FOREVER but never wanna stop!
helen wise On Thursday, March 7 at 2:13 pm
yes on the habit forming…
Julie J. On Thursday, March 7 at 2:37 pm
I literally told my husband this exact same thing about a month ago! I would have never been able to name my exact style but by looking at my Pinterest board it's so obvious what I love:) Painted white cabinets, pale blues and greys. It's so cool:)
Jan Melton On Thursday, March 7 at 2:44 pm
These designs and colors remind me of the blouses/tops/shirts you give away!
Shauna B On Thursday, March 7 at 3:04 pm
I had this exact realization this week! I looked at my home decor board as a whole and was really able to pinpoint my style. And my house looks nothing like it, either. I am in the decorating process, and man is it a process, since we have almost been in our house a year. Looking at my pinterest really helped me see where I want to go next.
Holly On Thursday, March 7 at 3:11 pm
I could spend hours looking around on Pinterest but I haven't figured out how to use it. I am addicted to recipes but many times cannot figure out how to Pin them. I have hope though after reading these comments.
Nibarian On Thursday, March 7 at 3:17 pm
Another Pinterest groupie here! We are planning a kitchen renovation this summer, and I have found so much inspiration there! And….it's better than discreetly riping pages out of magazines at the doctor's office!!
I have now started a bathroom reno board, as well, for the future! I've never heard about Houzz.com! I'll have to check THAT out!
My style of dress is a bit on the BOHO side, but it doesn't cross over into my decor style. My decor style preference is Cottage/bungalow style. I grew up in a house with a white kitchen, so it just seems like home to me!
I have pinned so many crafts and recipies that I have no idea when I'm going to get to any of them!
Dawn Britt On Thursday, March 7 at 3:22 pm
This is too funny! I did the very same thing you did. I had been pinning for months and then one night I told my husband to look at my "pins" to see if they look like "me"(he didn't have a clue what I was talking about, but he's so sweet that he did it anyway). While we were looking at them I saw a pattern as you did and it was overwhelming in favor of the "Shabby Chic" look! Of course our home is already styled in that manor, but to see everything you love right before your very eyes………….well, I think it's just WONDERFUL. Thanks Pinterest!!! I think it's so interesting that I go to your blog every day because I love your stories, food, pets, children, etc. and yet we couldn't be further apart on the decorating spectrum. But, I knew you loved the colors I can't stand. Warm colors seem to make me crazy unhappy. I'm a white, pastel pink, aqua, soft greens, etc. kind of girl. I love beautiful rose paintings, vintage white wicker furniture, white picket fences, old mismatched dishes and faded 50's fabrics. But, I also love you Ree! We are all so different, yet so alike. God did good!
P.S. I was at Bunco Tuesday night and the hostess served your chicken spaghetti!! That's how I found you four years ago………..I was surfing the net for a chicken spaghetti recipe, found your blog and I haven't left your house since. God Bless you and yours always!

Photography: Passionate, fascinating editorial work from Robin Friend
Not many people have Gillian Wearing and crocodiles in the same portfolio but Robin Friend does. The reason he keeps getting fantastic commissions is probably because of the sheer passion that drives him to create the images he does. "My work explores the fragile relationship between human beings and nature," Robin says. "I find this power struggle fascinating. It is all around us. A relationship in flux that is always ebbing and flowing and therefore impossible to predict – apart from the final outcome that is. For that there can only be one winner." Be sure to check out his Formations series before being informed about the brutality of crocodile hunting in With Sorrow Snare.

Blue Heron Restaurant, 440 Greenfield Road, Montague Center. (413) 367-0200.
A national historic landmark, this unspoiled 330-year-old village reflects the essence of old New England. Founded in 1669, the tiny village was a frontier outpost in British North America and hasn't grown much since. It's home to museums, working farms and three schools, including prestigious Deerfield Academy. For more than 250 years, education and the preservation of the past has been the village's chief occupation.
Historic Deerfield.
This is a museum of New England history and art a most unusual one at that. Off by itself in the midst of fields and meadows between Interstate 91 and U.S. Route 5, it is a collection of restored houses strung out along the mile-long Main Street, simply called "The Street." Although the entire village seems like a living museum, the official one comprises fourteen beautifully restored 18th and 19th century homes and other structures and the Flynt Center of Early New England Life. Together they are filled with more than 25,000 objects made or used in America from 1650 to 1850. You can drive or walk through the village free and at will. But unless you go inside the houses you'll miss the treasures of furniture, ceramics, textiles, glass and silver that form one of the country's finest collections of useful and decorative arts. The original benefactors were the Henry Flynts of Connecticut, whose son attended Deerfield Academy. They liked the village so much they bought a saltbox, the 1725 Allen House, on The Street in the 1950s and devoted their lives to buying more houses, restoring them and filling them with fine furnishings. Most of the houses are on their original sites and most furnishings are original. The structures include the Hall Tavern Information center, the Museum Store and Bookshop, and the Deerfield Inn. Admission includes an orientation program, a guided walking tour of the village, a self-guided tour of the Flynt Center and guided house tours that last about half an hour each.

Northampton, home of Smith College, touts its acclamation as "the best small arts town in America." Arts and artists are evident everywhere, from the landmark Academy of Music to the two imposing bank buildings lately turned into art galleries. Northampton's downtown of local stores, galleries, theaters, restaurants and the like is one of New England's liveliest.
The Smith College Museum of Art, one of the best college art museums in the country, was closed until early 2003 for four years of renovations and expansion. The $35 million makeover of the Fine Arts Center is the most ambitious capital project in Smith history. The college also hosts the Lyman Plant House and Botanical Gardens, containing plant species from across the world.

It's a tough topic to talk about….suicide. Some say if anything good can come out of the tragedy experienced by Senator Creigh Deeds and his family, when he was stabbed by his mentally ill son, who then killed himself….it's greater awareness about warning signs, risks, and treatment.
The most recent state assessments find teenagers between the ages of 16 and 19….and young adults, up to age 24…are especially vulnerable to higher rates of suicide.

Seaborne piracy against transport vessels remains a significant issue (with estimated worldwide losses of US $13 to 16 billion per year) particularly in waters between the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean and also in the Strait of Molucca and Singapore. A recent surge in piracy off the Somali coast spurred a multi-national effort led by the U.S. in 2011 to patrol the waters near the Horn of Africa.
Rodney Hall was a member of the U.S. navy assigned to Special Operations from 1974 to 1997.
During those years he participated in operations around the world supporting not just the military but other departments of the United States government in research, intelligence, and marine operations.

Horses of Anglo-Norman Breed, Gift to Kim Jong Il
| Pyongyang, June 19 (KCNA) -- In the Central Zoo here there are chestnut horses of Anglo-Norman breed.
They are a gift to General Secretary Kim Jong Il, presented by the deputy director of the Shenyang Agricultural Scientific and Technological Development Centre of China in September Juche 90 (2001).
His grandfather was a war veteran, who fought in the Korean War (June 1950-July 1953) as a member of the Chinese People's Volunteers. The deputy director was told by his grandfather about the greatness of President Kim Il Sung and leader Kim Jong Il and about the heroic Korean people.
Out of reverence for Kim Jong Il, he prepared a pair of two-year-old horses of Anglo-Norman breed for a gift to the leader. The horses, native to France, were 1.6 meters and 1.55 meters in height respectively and 400 kg and 350 kg in weight at that time.
They live for 20-25 years.

In the US $35 can buy a lot of things.
A pair of jeans for instance. If they aren't a really expensive brand name.
3 or 4 shirts from the clearance rack at Target.
A pair of nice shoes.
Dinner out. (Depending on where you go and how many tag along.)
One coffee/day for a month. If you only buy $1 cups of coffee.
10 Starbucks mocha frappuccinos.
2-3 books on your amazon wish list.
A tank of gas, maybe.
4 1/2 pounds of T-bone steak on sale at the grocery store.
Food, clothing, shelter, safe transport to and from school and a home where they are loved for a child like Saewong whose parents were killed by the Burmese Army.
That's what $35 will buy. Most of us, by making a few adjustments to our daily routine; like walking more, or making coffee at home, eating less meat, or just buying fewer things, could afford to take care of a child who has nothing, every single month.
Wouldn't that be worth it?

Bruce Weide, Executive Producer
Bruce never imagined he'd grow up to be a wolf wrangler.
Before teaming up with Koani, the ambassador wolf, he drove a skidder and set choker in the forests of Oregon, owned a ski and mountaineering store, was a senior instructor for Outward Bound, roughnecked on an exploratory barge in the Red Sea, worked as a climbing guide, picked cotton on one of the world's largest corporate farms, climbed Yosemite's El Capitan, built the earthsheltered/super-insulated home he and his wife live in, and bulldogged whitetail deer for Montana's Wolf Ecology Project. But Koani, the ambassador wolf, made the biggest impact on his life and provided him the greatest opportunity to educate others through Wild Sentry: The Northern Rockies Ambassador Wolf Program, Inc. which he co-directed with his wife Pat Tucker. Beginning in 1991 and over the course of the ensuing 15 years, the Wild Sentry team presented 1,400 programs to more than 200,000 people in venues that ranged from one-room schools to the Smithsonian and American Museum of Natural History.
The Wild Sentry team played a major role in the IMAX Film Wolves and received the Environmental Educator of the Year Award from the National Wildlife Federation and the Natural History Education Award from the Montana Natural History Center. Bruce produced and wrote the documentaries The Wolf: Real or Imagined? (an awarding-winning Public Television program) and Was That A Wolf? (Best of the Northwest Video Festival Instructional Award & Educational Award from the International Wildlife Film Festival). Bruce has published three books Trail of the Great Bear, There's A Wolf In The Classroom (selected for Science Book & Film's Annual Best Children's Science Book List), and Tales of Two Canines: The True Adventures of a Wolf and a Dog. His stories and essays have also appeared in numerous magazines.
Twenty years ago, having sensed a story in the making, Bruce began shooting footage for what would become True Wolf: The Story of Koani and Her Unusual Pack. Five years ago, with the goal of creating a legacy to Koani, he commenced work on the film. After teaming up with the multi-talented filmmaker, Rob Whitehair, they brought that dream to life.

What's so good?
By Anu Rana | Nov 30, 2012 | Total plays: 14,019
Now, the same track is featured on their self-titled debut LP, yet the rest of the album leads them into a beautifully somber territory of their own.
In "Starting Block," Santucci's melancholic vocals seep out, the way someone's broken speech would while loosing a few tears. He sometimes breathes with longing and sometimes cries with disillusionment over scattered percussion. A pensive melody carries throughout and ends by tragically pulling at heart strings.
After a rather enjoyable swim in sadness, change up the mood by checking out their recently released four-track 12" single featuring remixes via One Little Indian Records.

Rebel fighters carry heavy weapons as they prepare to fight against Syrian regime forces in the village of Kurnaz, close to the western city of Hama, on January 27, 2013. (AFP PHOTO/AAMIR QURESHI)
MOSCOW/DAMASCUS: Russia said the chances of Syrian President Bashar Assad staying in power were growing "smaller and smaller," as fighting Sunday in southwestern Damascus shut a main highway from the capital.
Assad has long counted Moscow as an ally and Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev's remarks were the most vocal Russian statement yet that his days may now be numbered, although they come after predictions from France, an avowed enemy, and from neighboring Jordan that the Syrian president's downfall is not imminent.
"I think that with every day, every week and every month, the chances of his preservation are getting smaller and smaller," Medvedev said, according to the transcript of an interview in Russian with CNN that was released by his office.
"But I repeat again, this must be decided by the Syrian people. Not Russia, not the United States, nor any other country," said Medvedev, whose administration has criticized Western, Turkish and Gulf Arab support for Syria's rebels.
"The task for the United States, the Europeans and regional powers ... is to sit the parties down for negotiations, and not just demand that Assad go and then be executed like [Moammar] Gadhafi or be carried to court sessions on a stretcher like Hosni Mubarak."
After Egypt's veteran president Hosni Mubarak was toppled, Russia withheld its veto on a U.N. Security Council resolution authorizing Western and Arab powers to provide military help to the rebels who overthrew Gadhafi in Libya.
Moscow has since blocked three Security Council resolutions aimed at pushing Assad out or pressuring him to end the bloodshed, but Russia has also distanced itself from Assad by saying it was not trying to prop him up and would not offer him asylum.
Activists said rebels clashed with forces loyal to Assad in southwestern Damascus Sunday, seizing a railway station and forcing the closure of the main highway to Deraa in the south.
Footage posted on the Internet showed what activists said was a rebel attack on the station in Qadam district. One clip showed gunmen taking cover as gunfire could be heard. Another showed gunmen inspecting buildings by the track after what the narrator describes as the liberation of the station.
Another video showed black smoke billowing above concrete buildings, the result of what activists said was an air strike by Assad's air force near the railway terminal.
Syrian media did not comment on the fighting around Qadam and restrictions on independent media make it difficult to verify reports from activists.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britain-based opposition group, said jets and artillery also struck targets in rebel strongholds to the east and south of the capital after fierce clashes there.
The fighting came as United Nations humanitarian chief Valerie Amos visited Syria ahead of a U.N. aid conference in Kuwait which aims to raise $1.5 billion for the millions of people made homeless, hungry and vulnerable by the conflict. At the global forum in Davos, Switzerland, Wednesday Amos said Syrians were "paying a terrible price" for the failure of world powers to resolve the conflict, pointing to 650,000 refugees who have fled the country and the millions affected inside Syria.
Most of the money from the Kuwait conference will go to support neighboring countries hosting hundreds of thousands of refugees, while $519 million is earmarked for aid inside Syria.
Medvedev said Assad did not appear to be ready for a negotiated solution to the crisis.
"He should have done everything much faster, attracting part of the moderate opposition, which was ready to sit at the table with him, to his side," the Russian premier said. "This was his significant mistake, and possibly a fatal one."
But he also warned of consequences if Assad is thrown out by force: "Then the civil war will last for decades."
However, Iran made its strongest warning to date Saturday that it could intervene militarily to help Assad's regime.
An aide to Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Syria held a key position among a group of Middle Eastern powers opposed to U.S. and Israeli influence in the region.
"Syria plays a very key role in supporting or, God forbid, destabilizing the resistance front," said Ali Akbar Velayati. "For this same reason, [an] attack on Syria is considered [an] attack on Iran and Iran's allies."

OCEAN CITY — Lenora Miller smiled through her tears at the scene of her mother's burning home Thursday afternoon.
The firefighters returned her brother's cremated remains to the family.
"Even his flower was on top," Miller said of the white rose on the box.
The family and friends of the five people who lived in the house on Stewart Circle in Ocean City gathered outside to comfort each other and watch firefighters extinguish the blaze.

No one was hurt, but the white brick house ended being a total loss, said Capt. Ryan Christen, public information officer for the Ocean City-Wright Fire Department.
Firefighters could see the smoke from the fire as they approached the home shortly after 1:46 p.m., Christen said. Flames were coming from the right side of the house and had started to warp the siding of the home next door.
Seven people were inside when the fire started, said Frankie Collier, who owns the house. She was decorating her living room when she noticed smoke coming from the laundry room. They tried to put out the fire themselves.
"It was bigger than we could (manage)," Collier said.
In the rush to get everyone out, a toy poodle, Chanel, was left behind and died in the fire.
"The whole neighborhood knew her," Collier said of Chanel.
Collier didn't know what her family would do now. Everything was in her home of 23 years.
"We don't have anything now," she said through tears.
The cause of the fire is under investigation, Christen said.
