I was a bit under the weather yesterday and away from the Blawg, but I was still thinking about Georgia football (I know, it's ridiculous, isn't it?).
I started pondering keys to success for the Dogs this season, prompted in part by reading on Georgiadogs.com that Mark Richt noted the preseason emphasis on reducing penalties didn't really pay off in the practice half-a-game on Wednesday.
"There were too many penalties," Richt said, adding: "One of the penalties forced us to kick a field goal instead of going for a touchdown."
While he did note that "we substituted pretty freely because it was so warm," which might have been a factor in the number of flags, the hope here is that the coach made the point forcefully with the team that this is a great way to lose games. And that he continues to make that point.
So along those lines, I offer here five pretty obvious but essential keys to the season. (I didn't include injuries, which was a major negative factor last year, because that's something that really can't be controlled.)
1. Like I was saying, fewer penalties, especially those that occur when Georgia is in scoring position or that extend an opponent's drive. This really killed us last year.
2. Pressure from the defensive ends. This is the most obvious area where Georgia needs improvement, and so far the reports from preseason drills are encouraging. Rod Battle especially has been snagging sacks. Now he and his cohorts just need to do it for real against something other than the second team or scout team lines. Lack of pressure on the quarterback and the resulting problems this causes for the secondary was probably the single biggest reason for the failure of Willie Martinez's defense in key situations last year, even moreso than poor tackling.
3. Establish the running game. It sets up the passing game, gives your quarterback more options and eats up clock. The offensive line should be one of the best of the Richt era this season. It's up to the backs to hit those holes, hold on to the ball and produce. No one expects any one of them to be another Knowshon Moreno. But overall as a group they need to at least come close to matching his stats.
4. Turnover ratio. The Athens Banner-Herald had a good look at this yesterday. Georgia recovered just five opponent fumbles last season, which tied the Dogs for 111th out of 119 Football Bowl Subdivision teams. They intercepted just 11 passes, which put them in a tie for 67th. Overall, Georgia's 16 takeaways ranked 104th nationally last year. That just won't get it done.
5. Showing up for big games. This is the intangible that has haunted Richt's teams for the past few seasons: the maddening tendency to only play one half of good football against a top opponent. Last year this was especially evident, what with the first half against Alabama and the second half against Tech. I don't know if this comes down to team leadership on the field or preparation by the coaches. Probably both. But improvement here is mandatory if the Dogs are to have a successful season.
Any other elements of the game that you think will be a key to the 2009 season?

Bill, I think CMR's teams have shown up quite well in big games overall. Can't win 'em all you know (as much as we would all love to). Ga needs to get consistent O-line play which has been lacking for the last few yrs due in part to youth. The DE play will be better in part because of the monster DT's that we have and in part to increased emphasis on the coaching staffs part. The turn over ratio should improve with increased pressure from the D-line. We have to have fewer penalties (there is no way to have more is there?). Ga could very well improve in all of these areas and still finish with the same or worse record as last year, sometimes the other guys are pretty good as well. Anyway, hope you feel better soon, I for one appreciate the work you put into this forum and look forward to your thoughts as the season progresses. Lastly for all the GT trolls on here……. Hells a-coming, and he's wearing red and black
August 28th, 2009

I keep saying this and maybe someday some one will listen:
When Georgia runs the ball more than 60% of the time we have won every game in the Mark Richt era.
In the Mark Richt era when Georgia has passed the ball more than 50% of the time we have lost.
The key to championships has always been and always will be defense. And the key to Georgia's defense has always been defensive end play, dating back to the Dooley/Russell era. Or at least that is what Vince Dooley has said.
But that offensive statistic during Mark Richt's tenure is key. When we run the ball we turn it over less and we pass the ball better because the opposing defense has to respect the run.

Poke fans:
Has OSU ever won their conference? What is the biggest game you've ever been in? Serious questions. I can't recall the Cowboys winning much even with Barry Sanders. I can see why you'd talk trash. That is quite a tradition we are going up against.

Special teams play. It will win us or lose us 1 or 2 games this year. Directional kicks and who is on kickoff/punt coverage teams will be very important.
August 28th, 2009
11:45 am
Keys to success for me besides what you mentioned before but have long been UGA concerns:
1. The receivers must not have so many drops. We all know how many seasons could have been different if our receivers actually hung on.
2. Thank goodness we are getting a new tight end. See #1 above. Not only are we tailback U but also TE U. We need the reemergence of a TE.
3. We did all of our smash mouth knock you out safeties go. Can a Greg Blue and Thomas Davis please stand up.
4. Richard Samuel and Thomas must fill the void left by Moreno. I personally have liked Samuel just as much as Moreno from the first time I saw him run. The potential with him is there, just needed a little maturing I think and he must hold on to the ball.

reality….keep repeating yourself….you are correct.
like all the people who voted for a certain president, certain brain dead zombie georgia fans that are still wearing #7 jerseys have forgotten the traditional football formula…..and are looking for every excuse they can come up with to explain why the magic just didn't (or aint) happening….why if CWM would just do his job, if CMR was a better coach, blah blah blah. They had their boy and look what we got – zero SEC titles. Same people will be calling for Cox's head if he has a bad start….
we sacrificed a successful formula so we could have some hotshot kid play quarterback.
Now it is time to get back to the basics.
Here is how you win football.
1. Run the ball.
2. Control the clock with long offensive drives.
3. Play defense.
4. Make every play on special teams.
5. Win the turnover battle.
My guess is that if we get back to #1 and 2 on my list, #3 will take care of itself, because we won't be running out there after three botched pass attempts – or two pass attempts and one of those lame-o belly handoff plays from the shotgun – or better yet, a stupid interception thrown by a quarterback who thinks he can throw the ball wherever and to whomever he wants…..
welcome back, traditional georgia football! You have been gone for too long.
August 28th, 2009

and when we play a team that is inferior Coach Richt needs to not go soft and keep scoring points and not put the scrubs in

…that we've been over and talked about 100 times. Obviously running out of material right now, but 8 more days and then its on.
August 28th, 2009
12:46 pm
Actually Tech-Nickel/Tickle you heard the same stuff for the last 8 years-only once was that prediction wrong – pretty doubtful we will be wrong this year (you girls can dream though).
It was so adorable last year when you ladies gave each other make-believe jewelry for the big win before the season was over. Can't think of another program bush enough to do that. It was actually fun to see you Jackasses find a new way to embarrass yourselves even after beating us.
August 28th, 2009
12:46 pm
As a Tech fan, I really think CMR is a great coach and a honest man. The problem with your team last year was simply a lack of discipline. I wish you guys the best of luck though, except for our date in November.
August 28th, 2009
12:50 pm
Tuck Fech: We didnt get beat by the SEC, we got beat by a LSU team who showed up to play and we didn't. But it seems to me that we beat AN SEC TEAM 45-42. And we also beat Miss St. but i'll be realistic and say Mississippi State is not exactly the cream of the crop
August 28th, 2009
12:50 pm
I wouldn't root for GT if they were playing the Taliban. They are beneath contempt.
August 28th, 2009
12:58 pm
When did "moreso" become a word?
August 28th, 2009
1:04 pm
No more kickoffs out of bounds. Last year that equated to a 15 yd play for each a many of these infractions with no loss of time from the clock, something we badly needed in many games last year, especially the tech game.

In the early '60s, we moved from inner city Pittsburgh to a rural suburb. I was 9 and dreaded when March rolled around because I knew my Dad was going to make me wear the funny green hat and bright green jacket to school to celebrate St. Patrick's Day.

It's all about a family tree that came to life more than 90 years ago, Dec. 19, 1923. I was mom's first-born, a very handsome little white-headed newborn boy. I could always tell Mom was real happy with me, but Dad was in a hurry for me to grow up so I could do most of the plowing of the fields, and everything else. When you grew large enough back then to hold a hoe, then you go, go, go!

There is a difference between a dying process and a sudden death event, and they both leave very different opportunities for healing. Individuals given a terminal diagnosis often have time to reflect and address any issues should they want. Also, those connected to the dying usually have some time and opportunities for closure in their relationships. However, with a sudden and unexpected death, it is done. What the relationship was is what it is forever.
There's an old saying in journalism when it comes to how and where stories are reported: "If it bleeds, it leads." What that means is, the juicier, gorier or more salacious news is, the more likely it is to be the top story.
In my two decades or so in this business, circulation numbers seem to bear out that tired adage. For all the lamenting over a lack of good, positive news, it's generally the bad news that sells best.
The author George Orwell is credited with saying, "Journalism is printing what someone else doesn't want printed. Everything else is public relations."
I'd like to take that definition a step further by saying journalism is printing what someone else doesn't like — especially when it comes to reporting on government meetings.
These stories always boil down to the same thing: Providing accounts of what was said and done, and by whom. That's the sole purpose of meeting coverage.
It would seem inappropriate for me to beg for patience when I have so little of it, but I'm about to do it anyway.
A few months ago, we recreated a community news policy to let readers know about our deadlines for items like club news, honor rolls, wedding announcements, business and education briefs, and church bulletin notes. The policy has been printed on page 2A of every edition since.
In case you've missed it, I'll save you the trouble of flipping pages and give it to you here:
Saint Valentine stuck his neck out for love and was beheaded for it, according to one legend. Pursuit of romance on Valentine's Day, Feb. 14, can lead to trouble and hard feelings. For that reason, some people retreat from participation rather than risk what goodwill remains with their significant others.
At the age of 75, I've successfully given and received Valentines for more than six decades with great satisfaction. Here are my romantic tactics:

Let's get one thing straight right off the bat: If a life or job didn't depend on you driving down the county's icy roads last week, you had no business driving.
You wanted to see the snow on the beach? Too bad. Wait for your island neighbors to share the photos with you via the Beacon, Facebook, Instragram or the old-fashioned way: with glossy prints.
You ran out of that ingredient you needed to complete your CrockPot recipe? Tough. Make something else for dinner.
Last week, the Associated Press decided to end its working relationship with a Pulitzer Prize-winning freelance photographer for altering a photo he submitted to the news organization for publication.
Let me explain why what he did matters and why what the AP did is so important.

Let Ubisoft show you exactly what you're missing out on:
The French publisher has also notified us that the Assassin's Creed: Revelations multiplayer beta will be exclusive to the PlayStation 3, much like it was for Brotherhood. While the beta hits on September 3rd, it'll run for just over a week and end on September 11th:
Face off with friends in Wanted's 8-player free-for-all and Manhunt's four-v-four-hide-and-go-murder. These variants won't be too different from their Brotherhood counterparts. Two new game types will also be on hand in the beta: Deathmatch and Artifact Assault. Even more modes will make it to retail when Assassin's Creed: Revelations hits store shelves on November 15th.

WASHINGTON – U.S. employers are sending a message of confidence in the economy – hiring more workers, raising pay and making the job market appear strong enough for the Federal Reserve to slow its bond purchases as early as September.
The economy gained a robust 195,000 jobs in June and many more in April and May than previously thought. The unemployment rate remained 7.6 percent in June because more people started looking for jobs – a healthy sign – and some didn't find them. The government doesn't count people as unemployed unless they're looking for work.
The Labor Department's report Friday pointed to a U.S. job market that's showing surprising resilience in the face of tax increases, federal spending cuts and economic weakness overseas. Employers have added an average 202,000 jobs for the past six months, up from 180,000 in the previous six.
The job growth is being fueled in part by consumer spending and the housing recovery. Consumer confidence has reached a 5 1/2 -year high and is helping drive up sales of homes and cars. Hiring was especially strong in June among retailers, hotels, restaurants, construction companies and financial services firms.
The numbers that we're seeing are more sustainable than we thought, said Paul Edelstein, U.S. economist at IHS Global Insight, a forecasting firm. We're seeing better job numbers, the stock market is increasing and home prices are rising.
Average pay also rose sharply last month. It's exceeded inflation this year after barely keeping pace since the Great Recession ended four years ago. Average hourly pay rose 10 cents in June to $24.01. Over the past 12 months, it's risen 2.2 percent. Over the same period, consumer prices have increased 1.4 percent.
Stocks closed sharply higher Friday. The Dow Jones industrial average surged 147 points, nearly 1 percent. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note jumped from 2.56 percent to 2.73 percent, its highest level since August 2011. That's a sign that investors think the economy is improving.
Among the employers benefiting from Americans' continued willingness to spend is Carlisle Wide Plank Floors, in Stoddard, N.H. Carlisle makes hardwood flooring used in stores, restaurants and hotels. CEO Michael Stanek said orders jumped 30 percent in the first quarter compared with a year earlier.
The company is hiring factory, sales and administrative employees to meet the higher demand. Carlisle expects to add about 15 employees this year to its 85-person workforce.
Friday's report showed that the U.S. economy added 70,000 more jobs in April and May than the government had previously estimated – 50,000 in April and 20,000 in May.
Further job growth could help the economy rebound after a weak start this year. If so, the Fed would likely scale back its bond purchases later this year.
The Fed has been buying $85 billion in Treasury and mortgage bonds each month since late last year. The purchases pushed long-term interest rates to historic lows.

Smell - impaired
Impaired smell is the partial or total loss of the sense of smell.
Alternative Names
Loss of smell; Anosmia
The loss of smell can occur as a result of nasal congestion or blockage of the nose and isn't serious, but it can sometimes be a sign of a nervous system (neurological) condition.
Temporary loss of the sense of smell is common with colds and nasal allergies, such as hay fever (allergic rhinitis). It may occur after a viral illness.
Some loss of smell occurs with aging. In most cases, there is no obvious or immediate cause, and there is no treatment.
The sense of smell is often lost with disorders that prevent air from reaching the part of the nose where smell receptors are located (the cribriform plate, located high in the nose). These disorders may include nasal polyps, nasal septal deformities, and nasal tumors.
Other disorders that may cause a loss of the sense of smell include:
- Alzheimer's dementia
- Disorders of the endocrine system
- Head trauma
- Nervous disorders
- Nutritional disorders
- Tumors of the head or brain
Many medications may change or decrease the ability to detect odors.
The sense of smell also enhances your ability to taste. Many people who lose their sense of smell also complain of a loss of the sense of taste. Most can still tell between salty, sweet, sour, and bitter tastes, which are sensed on the tongue. They may not be able to tell between other flavors. Some spices (such as pepper) may affect the nerves of the face and may be felt rather than smelled.
Common Causes
- Use of certain medications (such as amphetamines, estrogen, naphazoline, phenothiazines, prolonged use of nasal decongestants, reserpine, and possibly zinc-based products)
- Head injury
- Lead poisoning
- Nasal or sinus surgery or disease
- Natural aging process
- Radiation therapy
- Recent viral upper respiratory infection
- Tracheostomy
- Tumors of the nose or brain
Home Care
Treating the cause of the problem may correct loss of the sense of smell. Treatment can include:
- Antihistamines (if the condition is related to allergy)
- Changes in medication
- Surgery to correct blockages
- Treatment of other disorders
Avoid using too many nasal decongestants, which can lead to recurring nasal congestion.
If you lose your sense of smell, you may have changes in taste. But, adding highly seasoned foods to your diet can help stimulate the taste sensations that you still have.
Improve your safety at home by using smoke detectors and electric appliances instead of gas ones. You may not be able to smell gas if there is a leak. Or, install equipment that detects the presence of gas fumes in the home.
There is no treatment for loss of smell due to aging.
If you have a loss of smell due to a recent viral upper respiratory infection, be patient. The sense of smell may return to normal without treatment.
Call your health care provider if
Call your health care provider if the loss of smell continues, is getting worse, or if you have other unexplained symptoms.
What to expect at your health care provider's office
The doctor will perform a physical exam and ask questions about your medical history and current symptoms. Questions may include:
- Time pattern
- When did this problem develop?
- Have you always had problems with your sense of smell?
- Is the problem getting worse?
- Quality
- Are all odors affected or only certain types?
- Can you taste food?
- Aggravating factors
- Do you have a cold or other upper respiratory infection?
- Do you have allergies?
- Do you have chronic sinusitis?
- What medications do you take?
- Other
- What other symptoms do you have?
The doctor will look at your nose and surrounding structures. Tests that may be performed include:
In some cases, surgery (biopsy) to remove a piece of the cells responsible for smell (olfactory epithelium) may be needed to make a diagnosis.
If the loss of sense of smell is caused by a stuffy nose (nasal congestion), decongestants or antihistamines may be prescribed.
A vaporizer or humidifier may prevent mucus from drying and improve nasal discharge.
Steroid nasal sprays or pills may be recommended.
Vitamin A may be given by mouth or with a shot (injection).

The Commerce Department reported today that residential housing starts increased 2.3 percent in August to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 750,000 units. This is over 29% above the August 2011 rate of 581,000. Single family starts, the largest segment, increased 5.5% to a 535,000 annual rate — the highest level since April 2010.
Housing starts are still a sobering 70% below the 2.27 million unit rate peak in January 2006.
NAHB Chief Economist David Crowe commented, "The pace of overall housing production has been edging gradually upward all year as consumers become more confident in their local housing markets, and the latest data are further evidence that the housing recovery is here to stay".
In another report today, builder confidence in the single family home market rose for a fifth consecutive month. The NAHB/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index is at a level of 40 — the highest reading since June of 2006.
CNBC claims that for the first time since 2005, home construction is expected to add to gross domestic product growth this year. Residential housing accounts for only about 2.5 percent of GDP, however it is reported to be a powerful job growth driver. For every new house built, economists estimate that at least three new jobs are created.

My family has been volunteering for the past couple weeks at our church's pumpkin patch. It has become an annual tradition to get a little dirt under our fingernails as we attempt to master the trade of pumpkin sales at St. Andrew's United Methodist Church. The proceeds from the sale go to benefit the youth program and its many activities and missions.
There are many volunteer opportunities at St. Andrew's, but my favorite, by far, is the pumpkin patch, perhaps because it gives me prime seating for the best reality show there is — humankind.
I am a self-purported people watcher. I have always been drawn to people, and to watching them, and I think it's absolutely amazing that there are stories happening around us all the time, each one unique to its owner. Like snowflakes, no two are the same. Curious by nature, I delight in hearing the stories all around me.
A few days ago while working a shift at the patch I met a young, single mom, just 22 years old and already the mother of two small children, the youngest sleeping contentedly in a stroller as the older, almost 3 years old, ran between pallets of pumpkins searching for the "one with the most bumps."
A day or two later there was the missionary couple and their three small children home from the far reaches of the world for a visit with local family. It was their childrens' first visit to a pumpkin patch, and I found it endearing to watch them take joy in this new experience.
I talked to couples married more than 50 years selecting a pumpkin to carve with their grandchildren, newlyweds choosing fall decorations for their first home, awkward teenagers forced by parents to pose with younger siblings for photographs amidst the sea of orange.
Most memorable was an elderly man who seemed almost comically out of place as he ventured into the chaos of the patch during a particularly busy time. He had entered a setting where he clearly did not seem to belong, dressed in his black cuffed trousers and white buttoned down shirt with bowtie.
Carefully he made his way through the patch, slightly hunched over and moving ever so slowly. People were rushing all around him and though he must have at one time been a tall, probably muscular man, I now worried the teenagers running around would knock him over. Still, although slow, he moved with purpose. Every now and then he would lift his eyes for a view of this new world around him in which he seemed to be more observer than participant. He shook his head at an offer of assistance and finally, after a deliberate search, found what it was he was looking for, one small, round pumpkin. His purchase complete, he was met at the gate by an equally elderly man, perhaps a brother or a friend, who guided him to a waiting car, and they drove away.
In the days since I have thought quite often about the man and what must be his huge collection of stories.
I believe the people we encounter and our experiences with them greatly shape the stories of our lives. Furthermore, I believe each of us has the power to choose our story and, in choosing, we determine the quality and direction of our lives.
We all know it is quite easy to judge people at face value, and while I won't discredit the truth that people sometimes are exactly as they seem, there are times when I am actually jarred by the realization of just how inaccurate my first impression can be.
Saturday night I was working a shift at the pumpkin patch. At the close of the evening my sole accompaniment was my young son as the other adults working that night had left moments prior to drive our tired teenage volunteers home for the night.
Just as I was getting ready to unplug the lights, allowing darkness to encompass the pumpkin patch, a very large, very loud F-150 Ford pick-up truck with off-road tires pulled into the parking lot and four large, burly, tattooed men entered the patch. I admit that the only reason I know what type of truck they were driving is the driver somewhat boastfully informed me when I, in an attempt to begin a conversation thinking to myself that these men would never rob someone that could identify them, sweetly remarked, "nice truck."
From the time they pulled up in their mammoth vehicle, the boom-boom-boom of the bass causing the ground beneath my feet to vibrate, I nervously wondered if they had been casing the joint (clearly I have seen way too many crime dramas). I kicked at my purse on the ground beside my feet in an attempt to conceal it under the table and I silently cursed the sudden lull of traffic on Bloomingdale Avenue.
Why in the world would these four, very large, very scary looking men want pumpkins?
To carve, of course, or at least that's what I discovered as they purchased four of our biggest pumpkins, proving my "sizing up" skills need serious work when they told me to keep the change, a substansial amount, to add to the youth fund. And as they exited the patch the driver turned back to me, and said, "Make an impact."
"Huh," I responded, confused.
He lifted the sleeve of his "Sweet Home Alabama" T-shirt and pointed to a large tattoo extending from his shoulder to his elbow that read, "Make an impact."
To clarify, he grinned and said, "Live your life so you make an impact."
Isn't it ironic that sometimes we learn the most powerful lessons from those we don't expect to have anything worthwhile to add to our story?

EDIT 4/20: 8th on top entries...not bad for first game. thanks guys!! and front page...holy shit tom.
Finally here is the FINAL VERSION of the Enrichment Center (our first game). We added several of mechanics into the game. Remember: this was just us testing the waters of flash. Something entertaining, yet simple. for now at least.
Same story as the Beta:
This is a fan based game off of Valve's Portal. This is another part of Aperture Science. This takes place before the portal gun was completed, so this game is like Portal .5.
You're an Aperture Science employee starting to think that you will never going home again. So you start to escape from the Enrichment Center.
and remember, there's 2 different endings!
Hope you Enjoy!
Additional Note:
WE KNOW THAT IT'S SHORT. We had 1 good day of planning out the puzzles, and then no more ideas came...so we just went with it. Our apologies. If enough of you guys want a sequel, once we have ideas for at least 19 puzzles, we'll work on it. Thank you

Going Rustic
Roughed up finishes, natural wood, and burnished metals are all the key elements of a rustic style, but even if your home is decidedly modern these pieces can be worked in seamlessly. Here are some room examples that show off the features of rustic modern design and how you can incorporate it in your home.
Image via Automatism
When trying to create a rustic modern feel in a room look for items that have lots of texture; roughed up finishes, leather, and bedding that is begging to be touched make this room rustic, simple, and inviting.
Image via Liz Marie
Kitchen via House and Home
Natural Light
Filling a room with lots of natural light is the best way to show off the beauty of unfinished wood furniture. This is why you will often see white paint on the walls and white accents in a rustic modern home. The light from a window reflects off every surface in this dining area and the choice of transparent chairs gives a feeling of openness.
Image via Home Bunch
Earthy Materials
In a rustic modern home you will often see plenty of natural materials like stone, wood and metals. In this bathroom, unfinished wood furniture and wood beams meet a divine modern tub and the resulting atmosphere is that of a calming spa-like retreat.
Image via Just the Design
A Sense of Timelessness
By paying attention to balance old and new can blend together seamlessly, creating a space that evokes a sense of timelessness. In this room a contemporary sofa and layout is combined with eclectic textiles and an antique coffee table for a room that is as timeless as it is beautiful.
Console Table via Greentea Design
Now that you've seen some inspiration here is a peak at just a couple of the pieces in our new rustic collection. This console table is made of thick beams of salvaged wood; in an entryway, or in the living room, it adds rustic beauty to a space instantly.
Unfinished Buffet via Greentea Design
This unfinished buffet has tons of storage and a rustic design that will add texture to any room.

Going Underground: Fabulous Basement Makeovers
image via bhg
One of the the most popular home renovation projects is finishing a basement The idea of gaining extra living space is certainly appealing and the the wealth of ideas when it comes to basements is never ending. It can also be one of the most expensive areas of your home to renovate and also the most complicated if you're adding plumbing, electrical or waterproofing. For many the end result is well worth the effort. Here are a few basement makeovers that are truly inspirational. No gloomy dungeons or spiders here.
image via curbly
Using Space Creatively
As you'll see, a re-finished basement doesn't need to function as a typical rec room. This cozy bedroom retreat uses the space under the stairs beautifully. It's warm, romantic and space efficient. What's not to love?
image via beach house in the city
Creating Light
The number one issue most basements have is limited natural light. Putting in larger windows or installing new windows is expensive and complicated, but there are ways to maximize the light you do have without resorting to drastic measures. This beachy basement uses light colours and smartly placed recessed lighting to keep the room bright and airy feeling.
image via house and home
Rethinking Utility
I would have no problem spending all day doing laundry with a relaxing laundry room like this. The white cabinets and stainless steel make excellent use of the existing light creating an open and welcoming space.
Image via the brownstoner
I highly recommend checking out the before and after pics on this one, completely unrecognizable. These Brooklyn homeowners transformed their unfinished basement into gorgeous office space. Love the exposed brick and the light coloured plank flooring.
image via decor happy
I've seen my fair share of basement bathrooms that are downright terrifying. This basement bathroom is small in stature but quite glamorous. Adding a little bit of sparkle is a great way to brighten up a basement room, whether it's by adding chrome, stainless steel or a mini-chandelier.
image via house to home
A basement kitchen can be handy to have if you plan on using your basement as a guest room or if you plan on doing lots of entertaining. The shiny surface of these cabinets and the white walls reflect light, and the layout allows for a functional island.
image via McBlog
The basement is also a great place to unleash your creativity and make it anything you want it to be. A basement slide for the kids into a colourful playroom is a surefire way to make the subterranean fun. In fact, I think every house could use a slide.
Happy Friday Everyone!

High Line nyc via house and gardening addicts
New York City's High Line park is 2.3 km of landscaped public space that floats above the city on the old High Line tracks. Last time I was in New York we spent most of an afternoon exploring the park; it was a fabulous way to explore the city and it was amazing to see all the different people using the park, from wandering tourists to locals on their lunch breaks.
Today's post is all about how people have managed to carve out a little piece of nature even in the busiest metropolises. As you will see it doesn't just take a green thumb but also a willingness to think unconventionally.
Yuyuan Gardens in Shanghai via tripify
One of the most majestic urban gardens is surely Yuyuan Gardens in Shanghai. Created during the Ming Dynasty, strolling through the lush plant life and beautiful classic Chinese buildings is like stepping back in time. If you're there see if you can spot the many sculptures, some of mythical creatures, as you make your way through the gardens many hidden spots.
Green Wall in Madrid via Treehugger
The Green Wall designed by Patrick Blanc is an extraordinary sight; it is almost as if you are looking at an optical illusion. The four story high garden can be found at the Caixa Forum, an arts and cultural space in the old industrial sector of Madrid. The wall is home to 15,000 plants, proving that you don't need to have a traditional large plot of land to create a greener city.
Brooklyn Grange via inhabitat
The Brooklyn Grange is the world's largest rooftop farm, featuring 40,000 square feet of growing space for delicious produce. What I find most fascinating about large scale urban projects like this one is the vision of the people involved. To look at a concrete rooftop and see a thriving farm is amazing. Wouldn't it be incredible if every city could have farms hidden in the sky?
Namba Parks in Osaka via daily tonic
In the densely populated city of Osaka there is little room for greenery, which makes spaces like Namba Parks so essential. The eight level garden is nestled between office and apartment buildings and the Namba train station. The garden is fully integrated into its urban surroundings, providing an oasis from the chaos of city life.
The Prinzessinngarten in Berlin is a community garden built on a vacant lot that provides a place of solace, good food and community for numerous families and citizens in the city. Similar to other city parks, like The South Central Farm in L.A., the Prinzessingarten has had to fight for it's survival, but those who love the park are working hard to ensure the garden is kept intact.

The rooftop garden on the School of Art, Design and Media at the Nanyang Technical Institute in Singapore is a perfect marriage of architecture and garden design. The gently sloping roof is the perfect place for students to study, take breaks or look for inspiration. The result is a gorgeous building that shows that nature and progress can coexist.
These are just a few of the examples of urban gardening. Does your city have a public greenspace you'd like to tell us about? If you don't think your city has enough of the green stuff then get planting. As you can see, rooftops, abandoned lots, and even walls can be places to grow.

A Spring Table
image via mochatini
Who cares that there is a negative wind chill in the double digits and snow on the ground outside? It's officially spring! and that's as good an excuse as any to throw a party. Here are some table setting ideas that are a breath of fresh spring air, because whether you're hosting Easter dinner or a spring-themed brunch, a perfect meal begins with a well dressed table.

No spring soiree is complete without flowers. You don't need to spend a small fortune at the florists to style a table full of flowers. A few supermarket bouquets and some pretty jars or simple vases are all you really need. Put a handful of flowers in each container, the result is unfussy and pretty.
Sissinghurst Castle Dinner Plate from anthropologie
Sometimes all you need to create a spectacular table is the right set of dishes. These painterly plates from Anthropologie are bursting with spring blooms. I'm envisioning these with crisp white linens and gold plated utensils.

A single colour like white, yellow, or in this case, Robin's Egg blue, is a good starting point when designing a table. Making a bird's nest out of twigs or grass is an easy way to create a quick centerpiece. The beauty of painted eggs, or even the simplicity of unadorned eggs, makes a lovely substitute for flowers.

A tempting dessert table is a lovely way to turn a meal into a special occasion. Pastel coloured treats and vintage serving platters are a dreamy combo for Easter brunch or dinner. If you don't own a cakestand here is a great tutorial for making one out of vintage dishes.

Of course, you can always ditch the pastels and go bold; lemon yellow and sky blue evoke spring in much the same way, plus they are invigorating. The tulips are definitely in keeping with the casual, fun-loving vibe of this table.
family photo eggs from a subtle revelry
For a family breakfast or brunch I love this idea of personalized photo eggs for place orders. Such a cute way to decorate. Plus it's a good excuse to dust off those egg cups and put them to use.
Happy Friday Everyone!
Statement Floors

Today on the blog we're looking at some unique flooring options that really make a statement.
What's beneath your feet can be just as important as what's on your walls when it comes to making an impression. Miles above standard hardwood or laminate, these floors are show stoppers. Maybe these examples will even spark some ideas the next time you're in renovation mode.
glass floors via the fancy
Walking on Glass
Kind of like being at the top of a really tall building and looking down, or in a glass bottomed boat, the glass floors in this townhome are slightly unnerving but also exhilarating. They also complement this homes gorgeous architecture, don't you think?
lime green floors via apartment therapy
Shock of Colour
There's something about this look of bright floors with stark white walls that I really like. If you have hardwood that's in less than perfect shape this is a great way to cover it up while making a real statement. Hot pink floor anyone?
kitchen tile via lark & linen
This kitchen tile is beautiful but I think what really makes it stand out is the more traditional pattern alongside a thoroughly modern kitchen. It goes to show that often the unexpected option can create the biggest impact.
herringbone floors via the beautiful soup
Seeing a Pattern
These herringbone floors washed in natural light are just lovely. Laying regular hardwood floors can be a real pain, so I can only imagine how much effort went into this impeccable design. There is something about this room that is so peaceful.
painted floors via design inspiration
An Artistic Touch
I've seen so many inspiring examples of painted floors lately but I'm always curious just how long you can keep them looking nice. It sure is a great way to add some visual interest to a room though; the oversized pattern on this painted floor is just stunning.
wood grained porcelain floors via housing zone
Au Natural
Materials such as slate, wood and stone are great when you're trying to achieve a zen bathroom. I love these porcelain tiles that are wood grained to mimic the look of hardwood while being practical in a bathroom.
Where would you rather make a statement in your home, on the floors, on the walls or through your furnishing choices?
Happy Friday Everyone!

Well, that was a session and a half. I wasn't tired, but didn't have much brain power left for work, so I just played through the rest of the first third of the game, finishing up the Krogan DMZ missions and curing the Genophage. Yeah, of course I chose to cure it. My Shepherd couldn't do anything else, and she did it in honor to Wrex's memory.
I have to thank everyone who has been reading and responding for not giving me any hint of spoilers. Tonight I had cause to be damn thankful for your cognizance, because I didn't see Mordin's death coming at all. It came as a complete shock to me and I was quite moved by the moment. It's a perfectly written end to the character; if you play his loyalty mission, you know that despite what he says about it, he never really forgave himself for making the genophage stronger. A huge change came over him in this game as he worked to cure the genophage. He seemed happy, at peace. It's the same kind of peace that came to Thane and it was subtly done in both cases. Because you don't really see that the characters are not at peace in ME2; or rather, you do logically know that they are, but you never get to see them as anything but disconcerted. ME2 is like the Empire Strikes Back of the series—everyone is having a bad day. So seeing Mordin softly sing the lines to his "Scientific Salarian" musical number as he cures the genophage and waits to die in the Shroud tower really touched me.
It got me thinking again about the question of who can die in ME2. Like, I'm almost sure Garrus can't die, but can Mordin? Seems like a huge part of the story revolves around him and his character arc. But I never know with Mass Effect.
Along the same lines, I had a pretty cool moment with Liara tonight, where she told me that she is recording all of the events of the games in case we don't make it. First of all, I love the sense of tragedy behind this, where you have a species actually preparing for its own destruction. This is at the heart of Mass Effect and when it goes here, it always wins me over. Secondly, I liked having a choice in how Shepherd would be portrayed in this "time capsule." The whole scene was, of course, made much more powerful by the fact that my Shepherd has a three-game relationship with Liara. And it made me wonder: could any of the other couplings have this much power to them? I've seen some chances with the Ashley/Kaiden storyline, since that character ends up in the hospital, but Liara plays such a central role in the games that it almost feels like she was the intended choice for Shepherd as a romantic interest. Further evidence for this is the fact that she is the only character who can be romanced by either a male or female Shepherd across all three games (yes, I know Kaiden can be romanced by either sex, but that's only in the third game).
Of course, it might just be that the writing is clever enough to have fooled me and every relationship is given the same power and attention. Certainly the writing has been insanely seamless so far, considering how many little decisions here and there have affected the game. I've yet to come across any situation where I was able to chuckle and say, "I see how they crowbarred that decision into that conversation."
So anyway, that was a pretty huge session. And yes, seeing the Thresher Maw take on the Reaper was a complete and total win. Next time I'm off to do all sorts of side missions, and then I'll head back to the Citadel to check in with everyone. Aside from that I'll just add, for gameplay fetishists, that I'm using a scoped Mattock Assault Rifle a lot these days and it's become my stand-by weapon. Against shields and health it's simply deadly. When armor pops up I use the Blood Pack Machine Gun and when I need a more complicated tactical approach, I switch to the Salarian proximity mine pistol.

beautiful, restful, clean, comfortable
I loved staying in this quiet and comfortable cottage! It was beautiful and I hope to be back again someday!! The owner was welcoming and kind. The cottage is in a lovely neighborhood and near an excellent grocery store.
a graceful cottage in a beautiful berkely neighborhood
I stayed in the cottage for 10 days at the end of May, and could not have had a better experience. The cottage is freestanding and provides complete privacy. The design is graceful - the exterior is a tudor style that matches the main house. The interior is quite spacious, with a separate living room, bedroom, and even an office to work in. It was immaculate on my arrival, and the owners provided a complimentary bottle of wine and fresh flowers to brighten it and make me feel welcome. The location is another big plus. The cottage is situated adjacent to the owner's home, in a beautiful neighborhood in Berkeley, so parking was easy and safety was not an issue. UC Berkeley is 5 minutes away, and College avenue is just a short walk. The Rockridge Bart station as also quite close by, and there is easy car access to San Francisco via highway 24. The owners were lovely; happy to chat or answers questions when I had them, but also happy to let me have privacy. I can't imagine a better spot to stay on my next trip to the Bay area, so I am hoping the cottage is free the next time I am in town!
Comfortable and Well-Equipped
The owners have done a great job transforming this former garage into a charming and well-equipped studio apartment/cottage. Everything we could think of was there, there was plenty of space, and it was all state of the art. The cottage is in the back yard of the main house, with very attractive landscaping, outdoor tables and chairs, etc. The neighborhood is a lovely residential area, about a block from Solano Avenue, which has numerous high quality restaurants and shops. The only drawback is that the nearest BART station is about a 25 minute walk away (and we had no car), but we managed to quickly master the bus schedules and minimize the amount of time spent walking (as opposed to riding) to BART. The bus stop is nearby, and you can find out when the next bus will arrive by dialing 511 or looking online.

"Decent cigar"

"Great flavor! Best cigar!"
Great flavor and best cigar! I have smoked others and they are awful if you even accidentally inhale! Not these, they are great!Tammy in Florida January 7, 2009
"Certainly good but overpriced"
I smoked a Monte #2 last night that I'd been saving for a special occasion. To my taste, it was nearly identical to the RyJ Habana Reserve torpedoes. The RyJs happen to be my favorite cigar as of right now, so the Monte was a good smoke, but I expected more given how much these go for. I suspect that if I had had the Monte first the RyJ just wouldn't live up to it, so thank God I'm cheap.JW in St. Louis September 3, 2008
"good cigar"
good cigar but way to pricy for one cigar can you please lower the price on the, montecristo 2 for good cigar smokersjimmy in ny. June 4, 2008
"Stopped smoking after one-half inch"
I paid $12 for a stick at a store because I had heard and read so much about the famous Montecristo #2, how smooth and mellow it was, how tasty it was. Wow, was I disappointed! No smoothness, no creaminess. Instead, bad (read: difficult, tight) draw, strong peppery aftertaste, spongy construction. After one-half inch I was fed up, put the stick down, and bought myself a Rocky Patel Olde World Reserve to get the bad taste of the Montecristo #2 off my palate. Rocky does not disappoint. The nastiness of the Montecristo #2 was soon just melting away as I was really enjoying the flavors of the RP Olde World Reserve.Rob in Maryland March 14, 2008
not what i wanted and not a good cigarjimmy in ny February 15, 2008
"Flawless and a legend"
I had to try one of these after hearing so many good things about them. I was not let down. It was exquisite to say the least. Its everything you can want in a cigar, and even some you didnt know existed. Excellent craftsmanship, the build on it was perfect. It smoked smooth, consistent and held a beautiful ash. Teaming with flavors that changed throughout the entire cigar. This is a must smoke regardless of whether you are a beginner or a lifelong cigar lover. You will never regret picking this cigar from the humidor to smoke. Ever!Jason S in Cincinnati OH September 14, 2007
"Consistant quality each time!"
Very smooth! Great taste with consistant draw and flavor with every one! This one is one of my favorites!George Callow in CA June 25, 2007
"smooth...creamy...excellent taste and burn!"
My first Monte was purchased in a mild sampler pack. It was not the first one in the pack that I smoked because I wanted to wait till I had tried some of the others first. Well...after herfing that Monte I decided to some day buy some more and could not wait to smoke another...that day came after winning an auction for a 5 pack of Torpedo's...now I will always have a Monte on hand in my humi....need I say more. I know many herfers think they are pricey....but sometimes the cost is just plain worth it!Digital Dave in Easton, Pa. October 23, 2006

Following a contentious arbitration, Nashville Predators General Manager David Poile and superstar Shea Weber have enrolled in couples therapy in hopes they can reconcile their differences and avoid a messy divorce, the pair told ItB.
"Look I said some things I shouldn't have said, didn't treat Shea with the respect that he deserves," Poile said Wednesday morning. "But fighting with Shea this summer has taught me how much I value our relationship. He stormed out and left his beard on my desk. Sometimes I wear it just to remember better times."
Weber was awarded $7.5 million in arbitration earlier this month after the two sides couldn't work out a long term deal to extend their marriage. Weber conceded it will take some work to repair the damage done in the prior fighting, which saw Poile lowball his prized partner at $4.5 million during the hearing.
"He said I couldn't captain a lifeboat, that I loved facial hair more than the team," Weber said. "That hurt. But you play all your life to come to a Mecca of hockey like Nashville, there's so much history here. That playoff series we won, the uh, that year we were founded. It's memories like that you fight to preserve."
The two will attend bi-weekly sessions with a couples therapist and hope to rebuild the trust that last year helped the team outdraw the Nashville Metros, the city's fourth tier professional soccer team, in attendance.
"It's going to be tough, but I think we can do it," Weber said. "I've gotta stop listening to people like Brian Burke who keep telling me I'm too good for him."
In related news, TMZ reports that Drew Doughty has been seen canoodling with Mike Gillis and Pierre Gauthier after storming out of Kings GM Dean Lombardi's office earlier in the week.

FRIDAY, March 16 (HealthDay News) -- Using spanking as a method
of discipline for kids who have a genetic predisposition to
aggressive behavior likely makes them even more aggressive,
especially boys, new research suggests.
"There's an intricate interplay between nature and nurture," said study co-author J.C. Barnes, an assistant professor of criminology at the University of Texas at Dallas School of Economic, Political and Policy Sciences. "Most people know that genes matter, but genes and environment can coalesce, and we see things above and beyond what's expected."
While the study found this effect was statistically pronounced
in males, Barnes said that the combination of aggressive genes and
being spanked as a child likely influences girls' behaviors, too.
He said it might be that the combination of these two factors
didn't reach statistical significance in girls because boys tend to
act out more, and so present more opportunities to have that
behavior seen in a study.
The findings were published recently in the journal
Aggressive Behavior.
The use of spanking as a disciplinary tool has been linked to a
number of adverse outcomes in children and teens, such as
aggression and criminal behavior, according to background
information in the study.
Last month, researchers reported in the Canadian Medical
Association's journal,
CMAJ, that children who had been physically punished had higher levels of aggression against their parents, siblings, peers and spouses.
And, it may be that children who are genetically predisposed to
aggression are the ones most likely to be spanked for their
behavior, but the current study by Barnes and his colleagues
suggests that spanking in response will just increase that type of
Data for the current study came from a nationally representative
sample of children born in 2001. The entire group involved almost
11,000 children.
To assess genetic predisposition, the researchers looked at a
group of about 1,500 twins. They compared the behavior of identical
twins to fraternal twins. Since identical twins share 100 percent
of their genetic makeup, the researchers said that behaviors under
genetic influence would be more common in identical twins than in
fraternal twins. Fraternal twins share about 50 percent of their
genetic makeup.
The researchers then looked at the effect of genetic
predisposition and the use of corporal punishment and how those
factors influence a child's behavior both separately and
They found that for both boys and girls having a genetic risk
for aggressive behavior increased the risk of antisocial behavior
in children. The use of corporal punishment also increased the risk
of antisocial behavior in both sexes, according to Barnes.
But, when the two factors were combined -- genetic risk and
corporal punishment -- only boys seemed to have an even greater
likelihood of antisocial behavior, according to the study.
"I'm not surprised to see that they're concluding that there's evidence proving that genetic factors are involved in the development of aggressive behaviors. There's a complex interaction between genetics and environment," said Dr. Roya Samuels, an attending physician in the department of general pediatrics at the Steven and Alexandra Cohen Children's Medical Center of New York.
"Many studies have shown detrimental long-term effects from the use of corporal punishment in children. But, it still occurs with great frequency in this country," she said.
As children get older, it becomes especially difficult for
parents who've relied on corporal punishment to discipline
effectively, she noted.
Instead of physical punishment, Samuels suggests developing a
supportive, nurturing relationship with your child. She said
parents should reinforce positive behaviors, and give structure and
a daily routine in a child's life. Parents should set consequences
for negative behavior, she said, and in the toddler years, timeouts
can be an effective form of discipline instead of spanking.

Alan Chambers, president of the ex-gay umbrella organization Exodus International, admitted this weekend that so-called "ex-gays" do not in fact change their sexual orientation. At an impromptu panel at the Gay Christian Network's annual conference, Chambers told the audience that "the majority of people that I have met, and I would say the majority meaning 99.9 percent of them, have not experienced a change in their orientation… The vast majority of people that I know do still experience some level of same-sex attraction." Rumors have been circulating that Exodus might be trying to rebrand itself to sound less anti-gay, but Chambers' surprisingly candid (though unsurprisingly true) comments raise the question of whether after 39 years, the ex-gay movement is planning to abandon its harmful mission to "pray away the gay."

FREDERICKSBURG, VA—The manhunt continues for a Fredericksburg man named as a person of interest in the slayings of an elderly couple in Fauquier County.
John Wesley Jeffries, 60, of Fredericksburg, has been on the run since Sunday. Police say is believed to be armed and dangerous.
Jeffries was named a person of interest after the bodies of 80-year-old Nelson Slack and his 74-year-old wife, Ethel, were found early Sunday in their home on Bunker Hill Road.
Police found new evidence, a piece of clothing near the crime scene, Tuesday. The slain couple's vehicle was found Sunday afternoon on Lafayette Boulevard.
"We're gonna operate under the assumption he's still in the area, but we don't know that for a fact," said Capt. Jeff Pearce with the Spotsylvania County Sheriff's Office.
"Until we have him in custody, we will follow every lead as far as it takes us," said Capt. Pearce.
Jeffries is also wanted in Spotsylvania County on malicious wounding and other charges stemming from an incident in Spotsylvania. Jeffries is listed as a violent offender on the Virginia Sex Offender Registry. If you see Jeffries, you're asked to call 911 immediately.
