Embrace your life and I'll see you every Monday.
Be well, SHARON
Patented pure water tear film mist for dry eye. 100% Bio-Logic Aqua all-natural tissue culture grade water. Healthy water for eye and skin moisture.
Do I drink enough water?
Sixty-percent of your body is water and water is essential to life and health. Estimates on daily water needs range from 64 ounces (eight glasses x eight ounces) to half your body weight in ounces, to considerably more. 80% should be pure water, not coffee, soda or juice. There are no official estimates on the percentage of the US population who don't drink enough water but it probably exceeds 50%.
What could happen to my health if I don't?
Water and dehydration related diseases include dry skin, dry eyes, itching and burning eyes, dry mouth, lack of energy, headache, fatigue, eye strain and bright yellow urine. These natural symptoms could lead to serious diseases such as corneal ulcers, glaucoma, acne, dermatitis; skin, eye and mouth cancers; sunburn, increased viral and bacterial susceptibility, diarrhea and cholera.
Is my hometown a "Dry Eye Hot Spot"?
According to [Healthywoman.org], the top 10 US cities where climate and pollution create a high risk for dry eye syndrome, are (1) Las Vegas, (2) Lubbock, (3) El Paso, (4) Midland/Odessa, (5) Dallas/Fort Worth, (6) Atlanta, (7) Salt Lake City, (8) Phoenix, (9) Amarillo, (10) Honolulu.
Why is water the world's #1 geopolitical issue?
1.6 billion of Earth's 6.7 billion people lack reliable access to safe water. In many countries, water and dehydration diseases are the #1 cause of blindness, premature death and child mortality. Water issues can prevent education and economic development. According to Steve Solomon [Link], author of Water Wars, "water in the 21st century will be as critical as oil was in the 20th Century."
How many children die each year due to lack of safe water?
Over 8 million children under five die each year, about half from water related causes [source: wikipedia.com]. Hardest hit are the poor areas of Africa, Asia, Central and South America. No nation is safe, however. There are severe water shortages, water wars and large areas of poor sanitation in the Middle East, the US southwest, California and many other places.
Is the air we breathe really drying out?
Global warming, in many places, equals global drying, with longer, more frequent and more severe droughts. Desertification is a major issue in China, Africa, South America, North America and Australia. There was a time when the air supplied all the moisture and humidity your eyes, skin and lungs required. But there is growing evidence that dry air, dry eyes and dry skin are becoming major global health crisis.
Why isn't "water" listed on the official "Food Pyramid"?
The official United States Government "Food Pyramid" does not recommend a single glass of water! The reason is unknown. This underscores the life saving importance of educating yourself with an open mind and taking proactive steps to protect yourself and your loved ones.
What can I do globally?
Educate yourself on issues such as dry eye and become involved with any of the numerous water charities and growing number of people and organizations determined to do something about this. Start by becoming a regular listener to the Sharon Kleyne Hour Power of Water on World Talk Radio.
How can I be proactive and help myself?
Despite the growing global water and dry air crisis, Sharon Kleyne strongly believes that each of us has the power, with education, to proactively protect our own natural health. This means that despite the bad news, there are ways to help ourselves and our loved ones. Again, start by becoming a regular listener to the Sharon Kleyne Hour Power of Water on World Talk Radio.
Recent SKH guests
Sharon's 300 past guests include a Nobel Prize winner, a global climate expert from NASA, a water resources specialist from the UN, representative scientists from World Water Week in Stockholm; environment, water and global charity activists; TV and radio personalities, and best selling authors, on water, health, the environment, dry air, dehydration, dry eye and climate change; and guests in the US, the United Kingdom, Sweden, Kenya, Rome, China, New Zealand and Thailand.

Florida Panthers first round draft pick Erik Gudbranson has been suspended eight games by the OHL for his hit on an opposing player last weekend.
Gudbranson, who had five points for Canada's silver medal-winning World Junior team this year, charged J.P. LaBardo of the Oshawa Generals after LaBardo elbowed Frontenacs goalie Philipp Grubauer.
"The suspension is the result of a charge on J.P. Labardo," said OHL vice-president Ted Baker in a statement released by the league. "Eric left his feet, and the hit was in retribution for a hit that Labardo had just delivered to Kingston goalie Philipp Grubauer."
This is the second suspension for Gudbranson in as many weeks. His junior team, the Kingston Frontenacs, suspended the third-overall draft pick one game for internal issues last week.
Gudbranson has 18 points and 79 penalty minutes in 29 games this year for Kingston. He had made the Panthers roster out of training camp but was returned to the Frontenacs when the two sides couldn't come to terms on a contract.

More than three million children in the U.S. have hearing loss. Hearing aids can help improve hearing and speech, especially in children with sensorineural hearing loss (hearing loss in the inner ear due to damaged hair cells or a damaged hearing nerve). Sensorineural hearing loss can be caused by noise, injury, infection, certain medications, birth defects, tumors and problems with blood circulation.
Hearing aids are battery-operated devices that amplify sound. A microphone receives the sound and amplifies it so that it is louder to the child. Children can be fitted with hearing aids at any age, even as young as at birth.
The type of hearing aid recommended for your child will depend on several factors, including physical limitations, medical condition and personal preference.
There are many different kinds of hearing aids on the market, and companies are continuously improving the products. Four basic types of hearing aids are available today. Consult your child's physician for additional information on each of the following types:
Behind-the-ear (BTE) hearing aids
Behind-the-ear hearing aids, as the name implies, are worn behind the ear. This type of hearing aid, which is in a case, connects to a plastic earmold inside the outer ear. These hearing aids are generally used for mild to severe hearing loss. They are more flexible than ITEs because of the soft mold in the ear. This type of hearing aid is the most common type recommended for children
In-the-ear (ITE) hearing aids
These hearing aids come in plastic cases that fit in the outer ear. Generally used for mild to severe hearing loss, ITE hearing aids can accommodate other technical hearing devices, such as the telecoil, a mechanism used to improve sound during telephone calls. However, their small size can make it difficult to make adjustments. In addition, ITE hearing aids can be damaged by ear wax and drainage. These hearing aids are usually not recommended for children until they stop growing.
Canal aids
These are rarely used in children. Canal aids fit directly in the ear canal and come in two styles: in-the-canal (ITC) aid and completely-in-canal (CIC) aid. Customized to fit the size and shape of the individual's ear canal, canal aids are generally used for mild to moderate hearing loss. However, because of their small size, removal and adjustment may be more difficult. In addition, canal aids can be damaged by ear wax and drainage. They are rarely used in children.
Bone conduction hearing aids
These types of hearing aids are for people with conductive hearing loss, with or without ear canals or ear canals that cannot support an earmold or for those with draining ears.
|Cochlear Implants
|The cochlear implant is an electronic device that can provide auditory sensation to a person with severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss. The cochlear implant bypasses the damaged organ of hearing and stimulates the auditory nerve directly. The cochlear implant consists of a surgically implanted component and an externally worn component. With a cochlear implant, children may be able to hear and speak better. Outcomes vary, however, based on the individual.
Nearly all children who have a hearing loss that may be improved with hearing aids can benefit from these devices. The type of hearing aid recommended may depend on several factors, including the following:
Once the hearing aids have been fitted for the ears, your child should begin to gradually wear the hearing aid. Because hearing aids do not restore normal hearing, it may take time to get used to the different sounds transmitted by the device.
The American Academy of Otolaryngology recommends the following when beginning to wear hearing aids:
Hearing aids need to be kept dry. Methods for cleaning hearing aids vary depending on the style and shape.
Other tips for taking care of hearing aids include the following:
A medical examination is required before purchasing a hearing aid. Hearing aids can be purchased from an otolaryngologist (a physician who specializes in disorders of the ear, nose, throat and related structures of the head and neck), an audiologist (a specialist who can evaluate and manage hearing and balance problems), or a hearing aid dispenser. Styles and prices vary greatly.
The National Institute on Deafness and other Communication Disorders recommends asking the following questions when buying hearing aids:
Hearing aids typically need to be replaced after about 5 years. New programmable and digital hearing aids that can be adjusted as the level of hearing changes may reduce the need for replacement.

E3 2011: Ratchet and Clank: All 4 One
QUICKTAKE: By adding four-player co-op support to the Ratchet and Clank franchise, All 4 One has a chance of being the best game in the series so far. Beautiful and inventive, this is a family-friendly romp worth playing.
THE DEMO: The E3 demo goes through the first level of the adventure, introducing players to platforming and melee combat. There's some simple grapple hook platforming, and a fun on-rails sequence that has you (trying to) work together to avoid oncoming traffic. I played with one other person, although the game supports up to four players, online and off.
DETAILS: Ratchet and Clank has always been a rather curious franchise. In spite of its cute and cuddly main characters, the series has never been truly accessible to the casual gamer. With its plethora of dual-analog weapons-based combat, the franchise has been more of a siren call to the hardcore. All 4 One feels like Insomniac's best effort at making a "children's game," with none of the negative connotations that go with it.
The cooperative element is what makes All 4 One much more accessible than its predecessors. So long as there's one adept player in the mix, everyone can be guided through the experience. The fixed camera also makes it a much easier game to simply jump into. There are still platforms to jump onto and rails to grind. But this time, you don't need to worry about switching to a behind-the-back perspective, or fiddling with every button on the controller.
Although the gameplay experience has been streamlined, none of the aspects that make Ratchet and Clank so success are missing. The gameplay will be immediately familiar to franchise veterans, while newcomers will find the introductory "tutorial" quite helpful. Like the three other games on the PS3 so far, this is a beautiful game. With its colorful palette and beautifully animated characters, it's easy to say that this is Insomniac's graphics powerhouse (sorry, Resistance fans!).
Beyond the stunning visuals, there's the writing. Having Captain Qwark and Doctor Nefarious join the titular characters has afforded Insomniac the opportunity to create some truly hilarious banter. Simply put, this may be the funniest game to ever come out of the studio.
There were a few moments of co-op brilliance. For example, at one moment in the game, we were on a flying car, heading towards oncoming traffic. Steering is based on the balance of the car ... and it requires quick coordination between you and your partners to not crash head-on. Suffice it to say, we didn't make it unscathed. It was hilarious to have a real-life communication flub translate to something so disastrous. So long as Insomniac continues to pepper All 4 One with moments like this, it really can become the best game in the franchise.

Measure B & Vehicle Registration Funds
Alameda County Transportation Commission
Measure B provides a one-half-cent sales tax to improve transportation in Alameda County.
In November 2000, Alameda County citizens voted to continue Measure B through March 2022. Measure B established the Alameda County Transportation Improvement Authority (ACTIA) to administer this sales tax. ACTIA started collecting the sales tax in April 2003. In 2010, in an effort to reduce redundancy and better coordinate transportation planning and funding activities throughout Alameda County, ACTIA merged with the Alameda County Congestion Management Agency (CMA) to become the Alameda County Transportation Commission (ACTC), which assumed the responsibilities of both organizations.
The ACTC also administers the Measure F Alameda County Vehicle Registration Fee (VRF) Program. This program was approved by Alameda County voters in November 2010. The VRF is a $10 charge per year for each vehicle registered in Alameda County.
How Do Measure B and Vehicle Registration Fee (VRF) Funds Help Oakland?
- Oakland receives approximately $10 million each year to maintain our local street and roads. These funds help Oakland repave streets, fill pot holes and repair sidewalks, install and maintain traffic signals, streets signs and street lights and address traffic safety issues.
- Oakland receives another approximately $1 million each year specifically for bicycle and pedestrian safety projects. Oakland City Council adopted a priority list of projects for Fiscal Years 2009-2013. The list allocates 65% of these funds to pedestrian safety projects and 35% to bicycle projects. Projects include new pedestrian signals and design and installation bicycle lanes, racks and other facilities.
- Oakland receives approximately $1 million in paratransit dollars to assist seniors and people with mobility impairments.
- Through the VRF program, Oakland receives approximately $1.5 million annually for local street and road repair which is specifically targeted to paving projects.

Pick a card - but not just any card
By Don Kuehn
It is virtually impossible in today's economy to function without a ready source of instant credit. But the card you choose, and the way you use it, can make a huge difference in your financial well-being.
I am no fan of credit cards. I regularly caution against accumulating balances, paying needless interest and penalties, and shelling out for annual fees.
I bet I get a dozen mail offers for credit cards in a given week. And I'm sure you're no different. They come with teaser rates that usually end after six months, "pre-approved" credit lines, balance transfer promotions to get you to move your debt from one card to another, and free airline tickets—among other offers. Read the fine print. The lowest rates are usually available only to people with credit scores above 780 or so.
Here's my first tip: When you get those mailings, shred them. Tear them up so no "dumpster diver" can apply for credit in your name. Those unsolicited mass mailings are probably not for cards that are best suited to your needs anyway. You need to find a card that matches the way you use credit.
If you haven't been able to dig out from under your current debt load and you carry a balance from month to month, you'll want to minimize your finance charges. That means shopping around for the lowest APR (annual percentage rate) you can find. Two ways to do that: Ask your current company to lower your interest rate, or get a new card.
You might be surprised at how easy it is to talk your current card company into lowering your rate. Call them. Tell them you have an offer from another company at a lower rate. If you don't get the results you want, say goodbye and go to option two—the new card.
It's okay to pay a small annual fee if you carry a balance, because cards with fees usually carry lower rates. But be careful, just because you get a low rate, don't lose your mind and start taking cash advances, missing payment deadlines or exceeding your credit limit. Your rate will shoot up like fireworks on the Fourth of July. Your rate also can go up if you miss a payment on another card!
If you pay your balance in full every month (as 40 percent of Americans do), look for a card with no annual fee and a long grace period (the time between statement date and due date). Most cards allow 20 days, but there are a few out there that give you 25 days to pay.
You also can avoid late payment fees by paying online. Experts claim that it is as safe as paying by mail, and you save time as well as the cost of a stamp. Online payments made before 3 p.m. are usually credited the same day.
As many as 60 percent of the cards marketed today have some kind of "reward" attached to them. Two problems: Rewards cards carry higher interest rates, and people tend to use them more. It can be an addiction. I have heard stories of people charging the purchase of an automobile, or even groceries, on their credit cards just to rack up bonus points.
People spend more to get the most out of the rewards offered, but—if you carry a balance—you can dig yourself a mighty deep hole just to get an airline ticket or a discount at your favorite store. If you pay off the balance and stick to your budget, a rewards card can be a good choice.
Cards that offer cash rebates typically return only about 1 percent of what you charge. That's a paltry $50 on purchases of $5,000. A card with an annual fee could easily wipe that out, so if cash rebates are what you want, look for a card with no fee.
Some cards direct cash awards to a college fund or to a special savings account. One card rounds off your purchases to the next dollar and sweeps the difference into a rebate fund. But again, read the fine print, because some of these cards cap their rebates at as little as $300 a year.
For more information, including consumer discussion boards, on various kinds of credit cards—cards for students, cards for those with bad credit, cards without a fee, cards offering rewards, airline cards and more—take a look at http://www.cardratings.com/ or www.bankrate.com.
Then there is the decision that leads to a lot of discussion at my house—debit vs. credit cards. Debit cards tap directly into your checking account, so they are just another form of writing a check. But the argument that you can't spend more than you have in your account doesn't carry much weight. Just like the overdraft coverage you might have on your checking account, many debit cards offer the same "protection," and then charge you for the privilege.
Let's say you go to the drive-through window for a burger and fries. You swipe your debit card and drive off. Simple. But if there are insufficient funds in your account—and there is no warning system that alerts you to the fact—that Happy Meal could end up costing you an additional $35 in overdraft fees. You could have eaten a steak in the best restaurant in town for that price.
Then there are times when you think you have enough in your account, but not all of your cash is available to you. If you use a debit card when you stop to fill your gas tank, the "authorization" actually blocks up to $50 in your account to guarantee payment. So, the difference between what you actually spent on gas and the authorized block is money not available to you for your next purchase, and you're likely to be hit with an overdraft fee when you get that burger.
Last year $459 billion was spent on Visa consumer debit cards. And an amazing $4.7 billion was paid on overdraft fees triggered by debit card transactions or ATM withdrawals, according to the Center for Responsible Lending.
Credit cards and debit cards are regulated under different laws. A credit card is treated like a loan and, in most cases, the maximum liability for a lost or stolen card is capped at $50 (which is often waived).
The liability on debit cards, however, can be limited to $50 only if the loss is reported quickly. After 48 hours, the amount you can be responsible for jumps to $500, and it can be even higher under certain circumstances.
So, is it credit or debit? I'm a credit card guy, myself. And I pay off my balances every month.
Part of getting a handle on your finances is controlling debt, not letting debt control you. It's nearly impossible to navigate today's consumer maze without at least one credit card, but it's important to pick the right card to match the way you use credit. It's your money; don't waste a penny of it.

Northampton Co - Rt 412 Improvements in Hellertown and Bethlehem
Updated On: Apr 07 2014 03:08:15 PM CDT
Municipality: City of Bethlehem, Hellertown Borough
BETWEEN: Wagner Avenue AND Daly Avenue
Type of Work: Construction
Type of Restriction: 24hours
RESTRICTION: Traffic will be reduced from two lanes to a single lane on PA 412 north and south for roadway widening work. The work is part of the ongoing $35,922,299 PA 412 widening project that began in March 2012 and is anticipated to be complete in August 2015.
Motorists in the Lehigh Valley will soon be enjoying a safer and smoother PA 412 thanks to some major improvements planned for this corridor in Hellertown and Bethlehem, Northampton County.
The PA 412 Project involves the reconstruction and widening of PA 412 between Cherry Lane in Hellertown Borough and Daly Avenue in the City of Bethlehem. The project also includes improvements to the PA 412 Interchange with Interstate 78.
Preliminary work to construct detention basins is scheduled to begin March 29 between Wagner and Lynn Avenues. This work will not entail any lane restrictions, however motorists should be alert for slow moving construction vehicles entering or exiting the roadway. PennDOT will continue to provide updates as work progresses.
The project is designed to reduce congestion and increase safety for the 20,750 vehicles travelling PA 412 each day. Work will include widening the roadway to accommodate two southbound and three northbound travel lanes between I-78 and Shimersville Road; a northbound collector/distributor lane between I-78 and Commerce Center Boulevard for right turn traffic; widening and adding turning lanes at the intersections with the I-78 east and west ramps, Commerce Center Boulevard, Shimersville Road, Emery Street and Lynn Avenue; replacing the bridge over Saucon Creek; new traffic signals; adding bus pull-off areas to enhance safety for transit riders; drainage improvements; line paint; and other miscellaneous construction.
This is a design/build project, which means the contractor, HRI, Inc. of State College, Pa., is responsible for the final design and construction on the $35,922,299 million project. They are currently finishing aspects of the final design, and major road construction is expected to begin this spring. The project is expected to be complete in August 2015. All schedules are weather dependent.

METAIRIE, LA—If you think New Orleans' only connection to Miami is the Saints' Super Bowl victory, then you need to catch a New Orleans Zephyrs game in Metairie.
The Zs are the Triple-A team for the Miami Marlins. And just like the Saints -- albeit on a less severe level -- a Marlins coach is facing a suspension.
Guillen has said his comments were misunderstood, and he apologized.
"We're all subject to say silly things. And the man said what he said afterward. And I respect and I love him anyway," said one team cap-wearing Marlins fan who was attending Tuesday night's Zs game.
The Guillen suspension comes soon after the release of an audio tape of former Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams in which Williams is heard telling players to try to injure opponents before a playoff game against the San Francisco 49ers. Williams is suspended indefinitely from the league for his role in the Saints' bounty program.
Guillen's comments were made to a magazine, and Williams, while a documentary maker was rolling. In each case, it was the power of the internet that helped spread their words at the speed of Cyberspace.
At Tuesday's Z's game, fans say sport figures need to learn to watch their words in a high-tech world.
"People just don't know how to shut their mouths when the time comes," said one fan.
"It's modern technology. It's the day of the instant Twitter and tweets," said another.

There is new information about a woman accused of driving drunk and hitting and killing a naked woman lying in a roadway.
The suspect is 43-year-old Aimee Butel, a personal injury lawyer, a licensed physician, and a former Maricopa County medical examiner.
Just after midnight Saturday, police say she ran over a naked woman near 34th Street and Thomas. She stopped her Toyota Yaris a block away.
One of her passengers got out of the car and checked on the victim as a bystander performed CPR, according to police. When the passenger went back to the car, Butel allegedly said she was going to take everyone home and took off.
Witnesses gave police a description of her car, and officers pulled her over a short time later.
A breathalyzer test showed her blood alcohol level was .129 percent.
Butel faces charges of DUI and leaving the scene of a fatal collision.
She works at the Knapp and Roberts law firm. Butel's bio says she focuses on "catastrophic, life changing personal injury and wrongful death cases."
Police have not released the name of the woman who was killed. It's not clear why the victim had taken her clothes off and sat down in the road.

APPLETON, WI (WTAQ) - Remember when five Wisconsin cities tried to attract the world's fastest Internet system that Google is testing?
Well, it's just getting off the ground where Google made its first choice – Kansas City Missouri and the adjacent Kansas City Kansas.
Other places still have hope. Google says it plans roll out its experimental "Google Fiber" service elsewhere – but it's not saying where or when. Milwaukee, Madison, Marshfield, Appleton, and Superior had applied in 2010 to host the new network.
The Associated Press said the first homes in the K.C. area were wired up last fall.
Google is testing Internet speeds of up to a gigabyte per second – much faster than high-speed cable modems. Some homes have opened their doors to new high-tech businesses that want to build super-sized files, and eliminate the buffering which interrupts online videos and live tele-conferences.
One place is called the "Home for Hackers," where owners of start-up businesses have traveled from other parts of the country. They're living rent free, while developing their new business plans.
Other homes, meanwhile, are testing out various levels of service. Google's full-speed Internet costs $70 a month, and a cable-type service runs $50 a month.
Slower connections are free, with installation fees of $300. Observers have said the ground-breaking Google Fiber could force other Web providers to speed up their service in order to compete.

Somebody had a great idea: to celebrate, over five nights, the work of some of the world's greatest poets, and bring those works to life through performances by some of our finest actors, including Deborah Findlay, Derek Jacobi, Felicity Jones, Rosamund Pike, Eddie Redmayne, Dominic West and Samuel West.
Michael Grandage, who until recently was the successful artistic director of the Donmar Warehouse and now has his own company, put together this classy tribute to the writer and poet Josephine Hart, who died last year. The five evenings covered W.H. Auden, T.S. Eliot, Philip Larkin, the World War I poets such as Wilfred Owen and Siegfried Sassoon, and an array of American poets from Emily Dickinson to Walt Whitman. Each evening was introduced by luminaries such as playwrights David Hare and Tom Stoppard, or the former director of the National Theatre, Richard Eyre. This was entertainment on a very lofty level indeed, and much enlivened by the witty and imaginative writing by Hart that accompanied the poems. The audience, almost entirely composed of London's theatrical and publishing elite, were reassured that, in an uncertain world, it is still possible to be amused, liberated, stimulated and enchanted by nothing but words.
The Bristol Old Vic was built in 1766 (I remember it well!) and is the oldest working theatre in England. That doesn't matter (we have lots of old stuff) — what does matter is that this beautiful theatre has just been rebuilt after an 18-month refurbishment and is even more gorgeous than before. The great David Garrick called its original architect, James Saunders, the greatest theatre designer of the 18th century; since the Bristol Old Vic is the only large theatre of the period to have survived this long, we have to believe him. It has always been an actors' theatre. The aforementioned Richard Eyre says of it, "Everybody knows that Bristol Old Vic is old, rare and beautiful. What they might not know is that it's one of the best places in the world for actors, directors and writers to put on plays and for audiences to see them." It reopened last month with a production of John O'Keeffe's Wild Oats, first performed in 1791, barely 25 years after the theatre was built.

Giants strike deals with Hankins, Moore
East Rutherford, NJ (Sports Network) - The New York Giants agreed to terms with four of their seven 2013 draft picks on Friday, including defensive linemen Johnathan Hankins and Damontre Moore.
Hankins, a 320-pound tackle out of Ohio State, was taken by the Giants in the second round (No. 49 overall). Moore, an end who racked up 12 1/2 sacks and 21 tackles for loss for Texas A&M this past season, was the team's third-round choice (No. 81).
New York also signed Richmond safety Cooper Taylor, the club's fifth-round selection, along with Massachusetts running back Michael Cox, the second-to- last pick of April's draft.
The Giants are still in the process of negotiating deals with their first- round selection, offensive lineman Justin Pugh, as well as quarterback and fellow Syracuse product Ryan Nassib (4th round). Seventh-round guard Eric Herman also remains unsigned.

Comics superstars Jim Lee and Geoff Johns dropped by the Maxim offices today to hang out, talk about DC's massive "New 52" relaunch and draw us a kick-ass picture of Batman. Oh, and have a go on our trampoline (seriously. We have photos).
In NYC for the Midnight Madness Event, Jim and Geoff took a walk around the Maxim office, remarking on the size of our bar, marveling at our growing collection of rare and unusual Tabasco sauces and politely pretending not to know what a Fleshlight was (what? We get sent a lot of weird shit here). After accidentally spraying bright purple Blunt Magic all over his hands while trying to remove the smell of the giant, four-foot salami on Bova's desk (don't ask), Jim decided to have a go on our trampoline. As you'd expect from a man who draws superhero poses for a living, he rocked it.
Finally, we sat down for a chat about all things comics: their favorite superhero movie (Geoff still loves the first Superman film); which Marvel character they'd bring over to DC if they could (Jim would bring The Thing, while Geoff would love to write The Incredible Hulk so much, he has a two-year story arc mapped out in his head, just in case); and, the topic most on their minds, the New 52.
"It's an entry point into the DC universe", explained Geoff. "A lot of people know of these characters now - they know Green Lantern, they know Aquaman, they know Wonder Woman - and it's about making these characters as accessible as possible." To that end, all the regular books (including, sadly, Gail Simone's awesome Secret Six) are ending to make way for a whole new start: 52 new books, each starting at number one. The plan is to ditch the extraneous stuff and get to the nub of who these characters really are, not just by removing years of complex continuity (a la every other Crisis event), but by starting afresh and taking the characters back to their roots. Whether the plan will work is the subject of much heated debate (especially the decision to move Barbara Gordon out of the wheelchair and back into her Batgirl costume), but it's certainly a bold move, especially in light of the predictable rage from hardcore collectors.
Their other big play is to simultaneously make digital editions of the books available on the same day as their paper counterparts, meaning those who read comics on their iPads don't have to wait for their books anymore. For those that don't live anywhere near a comic book store, this is very good news indeed. We had a look at Jim and Geoff's Justice League #1 on the iPad, and it's pretty damn slick - the ability to read panel by panel or page by page is fun, and zooming in on Jim's artwork is always a pleasure.
Talking of Jim's artwork: did we mention that he drew us a kick-ass picture of Batman?
Ohhh yeaaah. He's the Goddamn Batman alright.

We're glad you decided to explore the Pace University/NACTEL program a little further. Following
is a step-by-step guide to take you through the application process.
Step One: Before You Apply
Before you apply,
gather your materials. This will help you complete the application more quickly
and efficiently. You should also take this time to review and become familiar with your company's
tuition assistance policy.
Step Two: Apply
Complete the
AS/BS application or the MS application online.
Step Three: Take (or Bypass) the Assessment
Once you submit your application, you will be assigned a UserID and password. Your UserID and
password will be displayed on screen as well as sent to you via e-mail. Please save your UserID and
password to a safe place. Both the e-mail and onscreen display will provide instructions on the
assessment. You may choose whether you'd like to take the math
assessment or bypass it. You DO NOT have to take the assessment in order to be enrolled in the NACTEL
Your UserID and password will also give you access to the
Student Information Center where you can
view scores from the assessment, update prior learning information, make changes to your contact
information, access forms to request your transcripts, add or drop courses, get a summary of your
registration, and keep track of what you've taken and when.
Step Four: Request Your Official Transcripts
You should begin by requesting official high school, GED, or college transcripts. You can request
your transcripts by using the
transcript request form found in the Student Information Center.
Please have your transcripts sent to:
Dr. Bernice Houle, Assistant Dean
Seidenberg School of Computer Science & Information Systems
Pace University
861 Bedford Rd.
Pleasantville, NY 10570
A transcript is only considered official if it is received in an envelope SEALED by the school. When
requesting an official transcript, it is wise to have one sent to you as well. Do NOT open this
transcript. If we do not receive your transcript, then you can send us the one you have.
We ask for your official transcripts so that you can become a matriculated student in the NACTEL
program. Becoming matriculated means that you have joined the NACTEL program as a degree seeking
student. Only matriculated students may apply for federal student aid.
Step Five: Arrange for Payment Prior to Registration
Pace University MUST receive payment or a letter of credit either directly from you prior to the start
of your first semester. Once you have registered online, you will receive a registration summary which
provides the costs for the semester. If you would like to review the costs prior to registration, please
visit our
tuition and fees page. There are a
few ways that you can pay:
Tuition Remission: Please contact your tuition assistance provider directly for information on tuition
assistance coverage and application procedure.
If you need more information on the Tuition Assistance policies of your company, please complete the Tuition Information Request Form. Please fax or email your letter of credits and/or tuition vouchers to the NACTEL office,
making sure to provide your signature if needed.

OR, mail your documents to:
NACTEL Program
Pace University
1 Martine Ave. Suite 504

Student Loans: If your company's policy does not cover the full cost
of tuition, you might wish to apply for Federal Student Aid. To learn more about this aid and/or
apply go to the following website
www.fafsa.ed.gov. Please note, you MUST be a matriculated student
in the NACTEL program to qualify for financial aid, therefore it is imperative you get your transcripts
sent to Pace as soon as possible. Please notify the NACTEL billing coordinator
so she can facilitate this process. The financial aid code for Pace University – Pleasantville Campus is
Check: If you are paying by check and getting reimbursed by your
company, please make checks payable to Pace University and send them with a copy of your bill
(invoice) to:
Pace University
Office of Student Assistance
Attn: Brenda Smith
861 Bedford Rd.
Pleasantville, NY 10570
Please note the semester for which you are paying and "NACTEL" in the memo section. We recommend
that if wish to track your payment you use FedEx or UPS as registered or certified mail through USPS
tends to delay delivery.
Credit Card: If paying by credit card, you may fax your payment to:
Office of Student Assistance
Attn: Brenda Smith
(914) 989-8645
Credit card payment must be made in full. Please indicate that the payment is for the NACTEL program
and include your name, name of the credit card holder EXACTLY as it appears on the card, semester,
amount of payment, credit card number, expiration date, three digit security number located on the
back of the credit card, and card holder's signature.
Step Six: Get Advised and Register

Advisor has received the completed application and assessments, your information will be
reviewed. You will then be sent an e-mail indicating which classes you should
register for. Remember
that you are not officially accepted into the program until your official transcripts are received.
You are considered a
non-matriculated student and can take up to 24 credits until you must matriculate.
As soon as you
register, you may purchase your books, which we encourage you to do right away.
Simply visit the
online bookstore and indicate which courses you are taking.

Asif Anwar is a Search, Social, & Internet Marketing Consultant/Specialist working in Bangladesh (In Indian Subcontinent aka South Asia). Professionally consulting and helping small businesses on Search Engine Optimization (SEO) since 2003 and actively learning about Search Marketing trends from 2001. Passionate about SEM (Search Engine Marketing), SMM (Social Media Marketing), and PPC (Pay Per Click).
When you see abnormally high direct traffic in Google Analytics or other web analytics tools, then there is not much you can do, since most direct traffic is only shown as a number of views. With search engine and referral traffic, it is pretty easy to find out what happened. But it becomes quite hard to understand what really happened behind direct traffic.
Referred visitors come through search engines and referring sites. And Web Analytics Solutions like: Statcounter, Google Analytics, Awstat, etc. can provide you good insights in understanding the behavior of your visitors as well as the performance of your online marketing campaigns. However, direct visitors may not be a strange phenomenon. It can also be the karma of your direct marketing effort, online branding, email marketing, and it may also result from returning visitors to your site. If you see any abnormal direct traffic then you should understand that the direct traffic is coming as a result of:
Email clients like: Outlook, Outlook Express, Eudora, Thunderbird, and other POP or IMAP Mail Client Softwares generate Direct Traffic. Some assumptions of abnormal direct traffic from emails can be:
Bookmarks are the simplest type of reference to your site. Just to define it: Bookmarks are stored links in your computer, either in internet browser or files that automatically generate URL for your browser. So, any content that automatically generates URL for your browser will be a bookmark. Most of the Web Analytics tools can't differentiate the source of the clicks from stored links. However, they should be more valuable to you, since they are mostly returning visitors. The links from bookmarks mean your marketing campaign efforts are maturing into sales. Bookmark visitors can come through the following types of bookmarks:
Most Web Analytics Systems try to load a remote visible or invisible image into your visitors' computer through the browser. These remote visible or invisible images are customized image that work as your identity. Web Analytics Systems provide some sort of codes (usually as Java Scripts) that generate the command to load these images. It may not always be the case that the codes will come from webpages located your servers aka your website. The visitors can also come from other sources such as stored webpages of your site in their hard disks. Often if the Web Analytics code is in a blank page, it'll still show the visitor. However, now most Web Analytics Systems show them as referred visitors by showing the exact location from the computer (e.g. C:\Documents%20and%20Settings\You\My%20Documents\My%20Site\index.htm). Often many computer blocks this reference system for external servers. It is then; the visitors are treated as direct visitors. In case, if the Web Analytics Systems can't recognize or block the reference, the offline stored pages direct visitors can come through various ways, like:
Direct visitors also come from deliberate typing in the address bar of the Internet Browser. If they are doing that, then you have established your site as a brand in the mind of the visitors or your offline marketing campaign is a hit. A lot of people don't come to Yahoo, Google or Bing through bookmarks or any reference. They really type the site name in the browser and press Enter or Ctrl+Enter. The search engine and referral traffic for these giant sites are rare. Every site actually strives to achieve this. Again, if your are running an offline marketing campaign, then the best way to go to your site after seeing an ad, is by typing the URL in the browser. There are thousands of reasons for this type of visitor typing URL in browser. However, here are some of them:
The possibilities of Direct Visitors are endless. But, Web Analytics tools provide you insight to only a number, not the overall insight on what actually happened. So, it is up to you to investigate what has happened. The abnormal increase in traffic may not always be good news. So, it is always wise to watch out.

Just off of Woodward north of Nine Mile there is a small distillery with a big heart."You are handcrafting this stuff from start to finish, and you're involved in every part of the process. I mean, I taste every single batch," said Rifino Valentine. "It's natural to put your name on it."He is the owner of Valentine Distilling. The former Wall Streeter returned home six years ago to put his stock and his name on a local business with an eye on global success."Why can't we make a world class vodka in this country, for one, and being from Michigan and with Detroit being the former manufacturing capital of the world, I thought how cool would that be to do it in that setting," Valentine said.Any time the big Detroit companies were failing, people were leaving at record levels. His style was born from history and pride."I'm one of those guys that yearns for the days when we actually still manufactured the majority of the products in this country," Valentine said.Most every ingredient in his spirits are from Michigan. Even the bricks and window in the distillery are hand picked from the ruins of Detroit industry long gone."We are maniacally obsessed with doing things the right way and just taking time and care in the whole process, you know, using good ingredients. It's really hard to find that nowadays," Valentine said.Many awards later, the company is expanding their product line. Valentine Vodka led the way for Liberator Gin and Woodward Whiskey."It was probably really about two years ago after winning the San Francisco Spirits Competition where it really just kind of took off and took a life of it's own, and we're like, all right, now we really know that we're on to something good," Valentine said.The former high school wrestler from Glen Lake High School in Maple City, Michigan wants the world to know that there is a way to bottle up love and pride, capturing the spirit of our city of industry in an award winning mix totally made in Michigan.

While John Fogerty 's long-awaited collaborative album, Wrote a Song for Everyone , is finished and set to be released on May 28 , the renowned rocker reports that he still has a lot of work to do on another previously announced project. Late last year, the ex- Creedence Clearwater Revival frontman revealed that he'd signed a deal with Little, Brown and Company to write an autobiography that's slated to be published in 2014 , but he tells Billboard that he has yet to find a co-author for the project.
"I need a collaborator," he declares. "If you get me to sit down and write a letter, that's an accomplishment. Email was invented for guys like me."
The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer does point out, however, that "a lot of work has [already] been done" on the memoir since he has "talked in the years past to other people and got it all recorded and transcribed." He says he plans to turn that "raw material" over to a writer who can help shape it into his book.
As Fogerty fans know, his history includes a bitter feud with his former CCR band mates and with Saul Zaentz , the one-time owner of the group's label, Fantasy Records, but the 67-year-old singer/songwriter insists he doesn't want his memoir to include too much mud-slinging and negativity.
"This is not going to be that sort of tawdry, supermarket kind of thing," he explains. "I'm not looking for the big reveal or to get a lot of stuff off my chest."
Rather, maintains Fogerty, he wants the book to focus on the enjoyment he's got from music, something he says began when he was in diapers.
"I've had a remarkable life in music," he tells Billboard . "[I]t's been a journey, and I just want to tell that story...of the original joy of a child discovering music...If I can ever convey how that feels, I think it's something worth talking about."
Fogerty also has plans to hit the road in support on Wrote a Song for Everyone , although he yet to scheduled any upcoming shows. His most recent performances were the series of shows he took part in as a member of Sound City Players , the supergroup organized by Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl that features musicians who appeared in his recent Sound City documentary.
John says of the star-studded gigs, "It was fun to let loose and really just not worry about anything and play with all the joy that's in us…It's been really great, and I hope we get to do it again sometime."

Netflix to offer new horror series
The company is laying the groundwork to stand out from other rivals jumping into the video-streaming business.
Shares of Netflix (NFLX) saw strength Wednesday, closing up 4.4% to $120.10 after the company announced an exclusive deal with notable horror director Eli Roth.
Netflix will give members exclusive access to "Hemlock Grove," a series based on the critically acclaimed novel by Brian McGreevy. The series, slated to run for 13 episodes, updates classic monster archetypes for a post-industrial America in a tale of alienation, adolescence and murder.
Investors may have keyed in on this exclusive deal, or Wednesday could have been another day of mystery momentum for the stock. At any rate, shares broke out early and stayed close to the $120 range for much of the trading day.
Benzinga reached out to Justin Colatosti, analyst at Dawson James, for his take on the announcement. "It's tough to pinpoint a single headline to a movement in the stock," Colatosti stated. "However, this just continues Netflix's plan for exclusive content."
After a tumultuous 2011, Netflix has been pursuing a strategy of offering exclusive, original shows to customers. It's spending $100 million to license "House of Cards," starring Kevin Spacey. It also debuted the original series "Lillyhammer" and has licensed a number of new episodes of cult favorite "Arrested Development."
Netflix agreed to a deal with Lions Gate Entertainment (LGF) last year to stream all seven seasons of the television hit "Mad Men."
"The long-term story remains the same," Colatosti concluded. "Netflix's future will likely depend on the pricing and offering from Verizon (VZ) and Coinstar's (CSTR) Redbox."
Verizon and Coinstar announced a joint venture in February that aims to offer streaming and downloadable videos as well as disc rentals from Redbox kiosks. The service is expected later this year, and will likely become Netflix's biggest competitor.
The battle of cheap streaming has yet to begin in earnest, and Netflix is already laying the groundwork to stand out from the rest of the field.

Criminal charges allege that a former Indiana License Branch worker took bribes for issuing legal documents to illegal aliens.
The bribes allegedly ranged in price from $40 dollars to $500 dollars.
Twenty-eight-year-old Julian Sanchez is accused of handing out bogus driver's licenses, learners' permits and state IDs.
Charging documents indicate she told police, she had quite a reputation in the Hispanic community as being the person to see for fake IDs.
Julian Sanchez came to court Monday to answer to five felony counts of bribery.
She went to work for the BMV in May where she was said to be one of only two Spanish speaking clerks at the Western Avenue branch in South Bend.
According to St. Joseph County Prosecutor Michael Dvorak, an audit revealed that she had processed "at least 58-separate bogus transactions with false social security numbers, and social security information".
Court documents indicate that Sanchez gave a statement to police, saying she had done so many illegal transactions that she no longer remembered how many.
"[After] about a month she worked there, she found a hole in the system. This hole has been filled in, their means of correcting procedures," said South Bend Police Detective Dominic Zultanski.

The Alcon ReSTOR, Alcon Toric, AMO TECNIS, and B&L CrystaLens, premium lens implants are just a few of the options available at Harvard Eye Associates to improve the quality of your vision after cataract or refractive lens implant surgery.
Especially exciting are the latest lens implants that can provide both reading and distance vision without glasses. For 50 years, eye surgeons have used lens implants to replace the eye's internal focusing lens, but until recently every lens implant acted simply like a fixed-focus lens. Three new lens implants have been FDA-approved recently for correction of both distance and reading vision.
Each of these implants works slightly differently, and not all implants are right for all patients. This page is designed to help people interested in these new-technology lens implants to understand the similarities and differences between them. Our eye surgeons have extensive experience implanting all of the lenses described here and are take pride in helping each patient make an unbiased, informed decision on an implant that will provide a lifetime of clear vision.
|Focusing Mechanism
|Light focuses through diffractive rings providing a distinct near and distant focus.
|Implant moves back and forth (auto-focus), powered by your eye muscles.
|Light focuses through a unique "apodized" lens shape, giving far and near focusing.
|Distance vision (road signs, TV captions)
|Arm's length vision at 2-3 feet (computer screen)
|Near Vision at 1-2 feet
|Clarity for driving at night
|Far away
(2-3 feet)
|Slowly improves over several weeks.
|Slowly improves over one to several weeks.
|Slowly improves over one to several weeks.
(1-2 feet)
|Slowly improves over one to several weeks.
|Excellent results for distance and near.
|True accommodating lens. Theoretically best clarity of vision.
|Best for fine print. Results are immediate.
|May get mild haloes when driving at night. 10% of Patients may need glasses.
|Some "learning curve" in retraining muscles to focus. May need glasses for reading
|May get mild haloes when driving at night. May need glasses for arms length vision (e.g., computer)
|Ideal Candidate
|People who desire less dependence on glasses. 90% of Tecnis patients use NO glasses at all!
|Active people who may not mind glasses for very fine print. People who need clear vision for driving at night.
|People who drive minimally at night or are not bothered by glare. People who spend a great deal of time reading and do not mind wearing glasses for computer use.
The ReSTOR lens is a non-moving lens implant. It can give distance and near vision simultaneously.
Rather than having three separate focusing zones like TECNIS, however, the ReSTOR lens focuses vision using an "apodized" surface. This high-tech manufacturing process gives the lens a gradual blending of focusing power throughout the entire lens surface.
With the ReSTOR lens, 97% of people can see both distance objects (road signs) and near objects (reading material within 1-2 feet) without difficulty, especially in good light. Arms length vision (the computer screen, for example) at 2-3 feet is less clear, and most people will need glasses for these kinds of tasks. In dim light, the lens is designed to give better distance vision. However, 5% of people with ReSTOR do notice significant haloes or glare around lights at night. READ MORE about the ReSTOR Lens.
The Alcon AcrySof Toric lens implant is designed to correct astigmatism. For cataract patients that have astigmatism and do not want to be dependent on glasses after cataract surgery, a Toric Lens Implant can be a solution. The Alcon AcrySof Toric lens corrects both conditions simultaneously, resulting in significantly better visual outcomes. The Alcon AcrySof Toric lens implant does not correct presbyopia, so reading glasses or bifocals may still be needed to comfortable perform near vision tasks such as reading, or computer work.
If you are considering cataract surgery and have astigmatism then the Alcon AcrySof Toric lens implant might be right for you. Talk to your Harvard Eye doctor for more information and to find out if the Alcon AcrySof Toric lens is the right option for you.
The Tecnis Multifocal IOL is based on the aspheric optic design of the Tecnis IOL (Abbott Medical
Optics, Inc.), which was engineered to reduce the spherical aberration of an average cornea
(which enhances clarity). Based on a principle of diffraction the Tecnis Multifocal IOL features
diffractive rings on its posterior surface.
The rings start very close to the optics center and then continue out toward the periphery. As a
result, the multifocal effects are not affected by pupil size or lighting conditions. Even in dim
light, distance and near vision is quite good. The lens provides patients with excellent near and
distance vision, each of which is distinct. Most patients also report good intermediate or arms'
length vision as well. Immediately after surgery, some patients may notice haloes around lights
when driving at night. However, as the eye adjusts to the lens, the visual impression of rings
may lessen and usually goes away over time.
READ MORE about the TECNIS lens.
The CrystaLens implant can give reading vision (within 1-2 feet), arm's length (2-3 feet), and distance vision without glasses because this implant actually adjusts its position within the eye as the eye looks from far to near subjects, much like an 'auto focus' mechanism on a camera. The CrystaLens is powered by the same ciliary body muscles that move and focus the eye's own natural lens. Its unique, hinged shape allows for this lens movement and gives a seamless transition from far to arm's length to near vision. Most people with the CrystaLens have clear far vision (driving, television) and intermediate vision (arm's length, computer screen) without any glasses. About 95% of people can also read newsprint without glasses. Some people do need glasses for fine print, especially in dim light. Of the three lenses, the CrystaLens is most likely to provide the best vision for driving at night. READ MORE about the CrystaLens.
Lens implants are meant to last a lifetime. Fortunately, most people will be very happy with whatever lens implant choice they make. The CrystaLens, TECNIS, and ReSTOR lenses have all been rigorously tested by the US FDA before being approved for use. For most people, any of the three will provide excellent results. To arrange a consultation with one of our doctors to discuss specific recommendations for you, please contact us.
Our eye surgeons have a combined total of nearly 100 years of experience with nearly 50,000 lens implants of almost every type ever made. Harvard Eye Associates' surgeons were among the first in the world to use soft, folding lens implants for small incision cataract surgery in the 1980s and continue to break new ground being among the first surgeons in the country to be authorized to use the lenses described above.
Over the years we have conducted numerous FDA research studies on new implant technologies, and we continue to perform studies on existing and upcoming technologies. Our doctors have authored dozens of scientific publications, serve on scientific advisory boards for a number of healthcare technology companies, and are reviewers for major vision science journals.

"Using the term "print" is a kind of red herring, because it really doesn't matter how many trees you cut down to produce these products. What matters is, will there be professional journalists that currently work for print publications whose work will still be visible and available? That's the real threat to journalism."
— Ken Paulson

- Biggest Challenge of Living in a Small Space
- Storage! The apartment has a pantry and a hall closet by the door and nothing else, so wall mounted shelves and extra storage was crucial where we could fit it.

Yeah, that kitchen is disproportionately large compared to the living room, but it's probably because of the walls. I would have floated the couch to create a division between the kitchen and the living space.
That is the first really useful use of those wineglass racks I've ever seen. Makes perfect sense in such a small space.
I'd suggest you put away the dishes in the rack before taking pictures next time. I know you don't have a lot of room for space, but my general impression is that the apartment is cluttered.
That said, it's admirable that you live on such a teeny space with a roommate.
That's a nicely laid out apartment. However, is it really 375 square feet total? It seems like a two bedroom with the spacious kitchen is at least 550?
I'd be interested in the square footage of those rooms, The bedrooms must be fairly small to fit all that in 375 square feet. Maybe 9x9 for your roomate's and 7x9 for yours?
I like the dishes in open view.. feels like there are people who actually live in the house.
Nice kitchen!
It would be nice to see the bedrooms instead of 3 pics of the kitchen.
I would probably recommend that Instagram filters not be used for this type of contest. Instagram'ing apartments just makes it look old and outdated. I think the apartment would look so much better (and brighter) if using a digital camera.
Side note: the kitchen reminds me of the kitchen scene in the Sixth Sense.
Hi guys,
thanks for all the positive feedback! I focused on our shared spaces rather than our rooms because I feel like it's where my roommate and I collaborated to bring out the best in the space. i tried to get a good shot of my room (my roommate wasn't comfortable with me using a picture of hers), but it's hard to get a good angle in my tiny room.
it's a tough space to work with, and believe me, the kitchen looks bigger in the pictures than it actually is. the floorplan is not 100% accurate because I eyeballed it, but yes, our apartment is actually 375 sq ft.
and while you guys have valid points, i entered because i'm proud of the space i live in. i don't think it necessarily has to look like it's straight out of a furniture catalog.
Your kitchen is cool. I was just wondering, why do the curtains stop halfway down? I've been trying to figure this out...
I'm kind of on the fence here. I understand the comments that applaud photos that look as if a "real person" occupies the apartment, and I get it when others say the place could have been tidied up and organized a bit. I guess it's up to the individual. If I were to enter the Small Cool Contest, my house, at 927 sq. feet, would fit into the "Small" category. You can bet I'd clean everything until it sparkled and there wouldn't be a bit of clutter in sight. I'd hide all the electrical cords and make sure the seams in the lampshades didn't show and that all the throw pillows were plumped and positioned with the zipper on bottom. That's just me. I wouldn't be comfortable with posting a photo of my dish drainer full of dishes. But that doesn't make me "better" than someone who doesn't mind sharing their space and the way it is with viewers. I know people would make negative comments about my place, or at least parts of it. There would be comments about the "old lady print" I've used in the guest room for the last twelve years, my matching bedroom set, and the " boring" case goods in my living room. My Ballard Design accessories would stand out like a sore thumb. Nothing original or creative about my digs - but it's mine, and I like it. I guess that's the same with everyone, whether we enter the contest or not. To each his own. I would have preferred to have seen the bedroom in this apartment instead of the dishes in the kitchen, but the person explained. I just think we can express our opinions in as kind and considerate way as possible, even if we have something negative to say. ♥
I love your kitchen! I agree with PI about moving the couch to create a partition between your kitchen and living space. You gain an entire wall that you could use for storage or to create a little reading nook.
@Bejewelled Good question! The curtains stop halfway down because the lower half of our windows are frosted, so we still have privacy. My roommate made the curtains, and we contemplated having them go all the way down, but worried they would get wet from the sink or get burned from the stovetop.
@Raaina We actually considered that when we moved in, but we ended up buying a couch too big for that. It blocked the doors to our bedrooms. Other people in our building have love seats instead and it looks real cute.
At least people have guts to enter the contest! How many of us want to share our place with the whole world?
I like the photo quality ...looks like an Instagram.
I really like that the rug in the living room is round! Very cute!
The curtains in the kitchen bother me, even though I understand why they're short. I suppose that they could pose a fire hazard on the one end, and get wet on the other if they were longer. But maybe there would be some ingenious way to get them out of the way. Perhaps you could cinch them in the middle of the window when cooking? That window holds every possibility of making the kitchen seem more sophisticated: a missed opportunity, I think.
Also, I would move anything that complicates the view of the window, like that apron and rack hanging near it.
I love the (bedroom) doors and the curtains behind them!
It fascinates me every year that of all the entries, the teeny-tiny ones are invariably the best and most popular. I've learned so much from looking at them. I love your living room. I could happily co-exist with your coffee table. The kitchen is adorable too. Good for you!
I think this looks like a homey-home. Since I'm peeping Tom who likes to see how other people live, I was just as satisfied poking around this apartment as I was any of the other Teeny Tiny entries.
(Also, can people just read the comments section before positing something as mindless as "Is this a joke?" Because clearly it's not. It's an entry to an online contest.)
Again, I really appreciate the positive stuff people are saying. I'm really proud of my apartment (it's my first one!) and I wanted to share it. If it's not up to par for you cool, but it's where I live and you don't have to go so far as to trash it.
Also also also guys, I just entered for fun. wow.
I think it's cute as hell. First apt. and a room mate? It looks happy, homey, lived in and loved. You are right on to be house proud. It's tough to stick your neck out when your place or person does not a slick, magazine daydream make. This little gem is a Home-Sweet-Home. Good on ya, girl:)
I wish I could say my first apartment was this cute! Your place is quirky and adorable, and looks totally cozy and inviting. I can totally imagine a gathering of friends converging in this space.. particularly with the kitchen and living area kind of blending together (because everyone always ends up hanging out in the kitchen anyway, right?).
I really like how you incorporated a lot of hanging storage! Also, I used to live in Astoria for years and loved it! Totally loved how you brought your own vibe to the apartment. Don't mind the haters.
I like the fact that your place looks lived in. Some people's apartments look too perfect. Real life is not always having your dishes put away.
your rock'n the purple girl
