What To Do With Blank Wall Behind Sofa?
Good Questions
Q: I recently purchased my first condo, and while our furniture fits in nicely with the living room's layout, I am at a loss for how to fill up the large empty wall above our couch. We do plan to purchase a floor lamp for behind the end table - which I am also open to suggestions on. However, I cannot make up my mind as to what would look good on the wall... one large piece of art? If so, any suggestions for an affordable solution? Or should we try one of those "gallery walls?" Any decorating ideas are welcome.
Editor: Leave your suggestions for Amanda in the comments - thanks!

A big colorful painting or photo would look great.
If you do a gallery wall, just make sure you don't go too small-scale and add some color!
frame collage of your best memories and travels.
Hi Amanda:
There are so many possibilities! Something affordable could be a nice poster (like from posters.com - my office was remodeled and they bought some very nice ones from them,some come framed, others not. They also sell some art And they have all types of prices). Pick up something you LIKE and pick a size that goes well with the big wall. You can also try something from Ikea, Ross, Home Goods. You can also use a big piece of fabric with a big design, cover a canvas with it and hang it on the wall. Even a nice carpet--if you have one. I once framed (myself) a silk shawl with a Picasso reproduction in blue and red colors--it looked great! See what you have at home and if you can use it. Especially chose some bright colors to bring life into the room and then get some throw pillows that have the soem of the colors in your art wall and put them on the furniture. For some DIY visit http://www.bhg.com/decorating/do-it-yourself/wall-art/ or http://www.realsimple.com/home-organizing/decorating/living-room/unexpected-decorating-ideas-00000000016267/index.html. Look around in the internet--you will find plenty of ideas! I am in the same process now.
Have a good decoration day!
I really like Manuko's idea of fabric. Your furniture seems like a nice neutral canvas and you could easily add pattern and color for big impact without spending a lot this way. You could even experiment with things you happen to have around your home (pretty fabric, small rugs, artwork from other places in your home just to get a sense of what it would look like). This seems like a fun task!
I would go with something large on the larger wall and perhaps two smaller pieces on the other wall. If it were me, I would want colorful pieces.
Check out fineartamerica.com and dailypainters.com. Fine Art America has a large selection of reasonably priced giclee prints in all sizes; you can purchase them on paper or canvas. You're sure to find something you like.
If you want original art, I highly recommend Daily Painters. Checking out local galleries is also a good idea.
Head out to the paint store and get several pints of the brightest colors you like and then to the crafts store for the biggest piece of foamcore available. Next step is to the back yard or parking lot with a drop cloth and a sense of adventure. Splash, smear, dribble, drool and hang. You can tack the foamcore to some 1x2's to keep it from warping.
I had a similar problem. I just moved into a new apartment with the typical all beige walls and carpet. I found some free wooden pallets and painted them bright colors, to add warmth and depth to the space. Total cost was approx. $30 for the paint.
I have decorative mirror on my wall.
Grab a bunch of different frames for cheap, and paint them all the same colour or a few different colours. Pop in the photos, drawings, prints, you like and hang them up. By tying together the frames by colour, it will all work together no matter the different sizes and styles.
Another vote for fabric. Big impact for small dollars - even expensive fabric makes cheap art. And the room could use some pattern and color.
You could get a yard and a half of a splendid Marimekko fabric (57 inches wide by 54 long) for $60 to $70.
I once had a large wall to fill, but not enough picture content, so I painted a big geometric pattern on the wall with latex paint (it was even a rental; I just painted over it when I moved). It was super cheap and a great statement "piece".
My favorite cheap art technique is to buy a frame from IKEA, and put in a piece of nice wrapping paper (the kind you buy in a single sheet, not roll from a nice stationary store). If you put maybe three of these in a row, don't be afraid to get big frames, with a different print in each one, behind the sofa it would look very nice. Choose prints that have the same color theme, even if everything else about them is different. Pick up that color with some new throw pillows too. Good luck!
(Space permitting, of course):
Pull the sofa away from the wall about 5 or 6 inches and place a long console table or shelf along the length of the back. Decorate it as you please or see fit. Then hang artwork above that. Something with a little more height in the corner next to the window would be nice, too.
Go with "chunkier" pieces of art to keep the wall cleaner, less cluttered looking.
Fortunately for me, I have several large paintings that are horizontal and vertical, so I can make them work in above furniture on large open walls.
1. Buy a couple of inexpensive IKEA foamboard prints and hang them.
2. Paint the wall a nice colour and/or reupholster the sectional.
3. Get the lamp.
4. Add some accents - throw, cushion shams (you have GOT to switch out the ones you have now), picture collage on top of the coffee table, decorative bowl on coffee table, etc.
5. Remove the IKEA prints and take a picture.
6. Post the picture on AT and ask what others would hang on that wall.
7. Choose the solution you like the most.
8. Give away the foamboard IKEA prints.
9. Implement your favorite wall art solution.
The idea of the IKEA prints is so you don't have to stare at a boring empty wall while in the process of executing the rest of the plan.
1. buy one big colorful piece of art
2. put some smaller (black&white) framed family photos around it
3. buy some cheap cushions in the 1 or 2 most dominant colors of the big art
we have the same problem here, white walls, white floor, white couch (we buyed it very cheap as it was used, so we didn't really had the choice of what color would be cool)
i hope we can paint our walls in spring, what will liven up our place too :)
I have a similar situation and have been looking for inspiration for the past six months on what I should put on the large plain wall behind our neutral sofa. I had thought about making my own world map, but wasnt completly sure about it.
However I have just today been insipred by Russell Smith's photography. Have a look at this!
Its so simple yet so bold and you can diy it.
Good luck and send AT an after picture so we can see your work.
I also was going to say fabric, attached to canvas. Actually, 2 pieces of canvas might be better than one giant one. Behind my (similar) sofa, I have two large prints of vintage Chicago transit posters but I'm thinking of updating once I find the right fabric.
A couple DIY projects; cheap & easy! (^_^)

Years ago when we were selling our home I hung a colorful 8x12 rug on a huge wall. We sold the house in 8 days with 4 parties bidding on it. We were told it was the rug that sold it. Play around with it, you can hang anything.
Lots of good suggestions already. I'd add: Hang shelves to hold books or whatever you like, or hang solid decorations like masks.
You need art my dear. Since you have such a clean palette, may I suggest you choose one artist, (Bukovnik is my personal love), and frame, or just mount on poster board for a much cheaper solution, as many large pieces in one artist that you can find. A room takes on a special aura when only one painter in displayed. Your room is so neutral, a burst of color in your art would be amazing, IMHO. Good Luck.
You could always make your own personalized big picture. Check out what I did here... http://www.homefoodandfamily.com/2011/08/cutting-up-big-picture.html
I love the console table idea. But then again, I'm obsessed with them.
Stretched fabric over a frame.
Frame a nice piece of handmade paper (Papersource is a good place to look).

Pisces-Feb. 19-March 20
You are running fully extended. The best time to do that is when you see the finish line just ahead. Try to pace yourself to prevent burnouts along the way.

After what could be described as an uneven performance during Saturday's practice, Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson challenged his players to pick one thing and work to improve it during next week's final spring practices.
The offense scored eight touchdowns, including a 70-yard run by B.J. Bostic, and the defense scored three of its own during a scrimmage on Saturday at Bobby Dodd Stadium. Not satisfied, Johnson wants improvement before next week's T-Day game.
"We did enough to lose on both sides," Johnson said. "We've got to do better to be more consistent and more focused."
Johnson was pleased to see a few individual players make improvements on Saturday, including Bostic, an early enrollee from Jefferson County.
Toward the end of Saturday's practice, Bostic took a pitch to the right from his spot at A-back and saw a crease between the cornerback and the linebackers – he said it's the first one he's seen in a while – and scored the offense's last touchdown.
"I think I helped to show the coaches to see that I can be a weapon," Bostic said. "Overall, I'm just trying to get better. Coach [Lamar] Owens and the older guys are helping me out."
Other players that Johnson said stood out included quarterback Tevin Washington, B-backs Lucas Cox and Anthony Allen, middle linebacker Brad Jefferson and defensive end Jason Peters.
Highlights and lowlights from the scrimmage, which unofficially had six penalties:
"It's coming along," Jefferson said of the transition from the 4-3 to the 3-4. "We're still trying to get the defense as a whole down. It'll just take time for us to get it all in."
Jefferson said some of the mistakes made on Saturday were because players forgot to change their responsibilities from the pro-style offenses they face during practice to the spread-option offense Tech uses in scrimmages.
"That's the big thing we've got to work on," Jefferson said.
Injury update
Middle linebacker Brandon Watts missed Saturday's practice because of a mild stinger. Johnson said he will be fine. Middle linebacker Julian Burnett didn't play on Saturday. Johnson said on Friday that Burnett's participation would be decided on Saturday by the trainers. He may return next week.
Practice switch
Tech will not practice on Monday, as originally scheduled. Instead, the team will practice on Wednesday and Friday. The T-day game will be at 12:30 p.m. at Bobby Dodd Stadium on Saturday.

Looking forward to seeing the personnel on both sides of the line of scrimmage, as well as the new 3/4 defense being implemented this spring. Afterwards lets go fill up the stadium for the baseball team who have really been playing well and are ranked in the top 5 in the nation.

Wow ! Two good articles in a row, I'm stunned. Sounds like Bostic could be a real weapon for us. Glad to hear that Hill is getting some touches, I'm expecting him to fill Thomas' shoes with no problem. As for the QB's, be thankful for Nesbitt cause these guys have got s long ways to go. I want to say more but I'm so blown away about having 2 articles in a row that I can't concentrate. I would say more, but I can't.

CPJ will get us there. He has twice already. As a coach, he's a pessimist in practice. That's just his way, and he gets results. CMR over at Athens is more of an optimist, and that's OK; it works for him. Johnson will have this team ready to go come September.

vahokie……you don't understand football, period. It shows when you make outlandish statements like you just did. Heck, I am a dawg fan. I just don't care for pompus folks much.

What the hell has VT ever done outside of a good defense. The only time they were any good on offense was when that pot smoking thug Vick was there. VT is classless, and you can thank your sorry governer for forcing the ACC to take you, as no one, and I mean NO ONE wanted such a classless fan base and school in the ACC. What a bunch of whiners.
April 17th, 2010
5:54 pm
Hey vahokie- since you don't think Tech is any good then you must think va tech sucks because that gimmick offense ran all over the great Bud Fosters awesome D. I loved watching our little a-backs chop down big bad Cam Chancellor. By your comments it tells me you know nothing about college football. Maybe Tech did get exposed but it wasn't by VT. Maybe Foster isn't great after all. Paul Johnson schooled him for 4 quarters. Ask Cam if his knees still hurt.
Hokie hokie hokie !!!

you guys are a waste GT and UG have just as many thugs in there schools .enjoy your crappy team because you wont make it out of Lane Nov 4 .and 4jacks the Hokies have carried this lame conference since we got here .
April 17th, 2010
6:41 pm
The "T-Day" game? Awwwww, that's cute.
April 17th, 2010
6:52 pm
vahokie ……. although just 1-1 vs VT since PJ's arrival, GT was obviously the better team in BOTH games, gimmick offense and all. In 2008 a costly turnover just before halftime (on their own 40 yd line, by THEIR OWN doing – bad handoff) led to a VT td. And a couple costly penalties late in the 4th securing VT's game-winning FG.
But this season will be tough for GT. Not b/c VT is better, but b/c their whinning HC started putting the refs on notice about illegal blocks after the 2009 loss to the Jackets; which weren't illegal. I'd be willing to bet he'll start mothing off about it leading up to the game this season to try and get a bogus advantage.
April 17th, 2010
7:01 pm
Gt fan its called the rules.your blocks are illegal .you guy have to learn to play with the big boys
April 17th, 2010
7:10 pm
So far… it looks like we have plenty of running backs and secondary players, both for this season, and in the pipeline for the future.
We are all good with Joshua running the show this season, but if he goes down, or when he's gone next year, we don't currently have a QB capable of taking us to an ACC championship — let alone a national championship. Maybe one of the backup trio will emerge and become that guy – we'll see. I do hope, that some point, the passing game can become a little more of a threat.
On defense – Groh needs to develope 'impact' players at DE and OLB.

Yeah GinaHokie…. The Vick boys are fine representatives of VippySue.

Dumb delusional dawgs (and hokies) are irrelevant.
April 17th, 2010
8:37 pm
vahokie, I credit you with having balls (or is it hubris?). If Tech's blocks are illegal, why aren't they a highly penalized team? Why hasn't the ACC disciplined them?
I'm constantly amazed at how 9 guys can block like that on every play. It comes down to discipline and technique.
April 17th, 2010
8:39 pm
It's funny…Mr Football from VT doesn't know the difference in a cut block and chop block. However, I do agree that VT has carried this conference for the most part. Still doesn't change the fact that NO ONE wanted them in the conference, and the ACC was railroaded into having to take them. Also, I haven't seen VT make any kind of a statement against the "big boys". They sure talk a big game when they are winning and whine like baby girls when they get beat. Your still classless, and everybody knows it. Thats why NOBODY wanted you, and that is a FACT. So whine some more.

12:00 am
ill make sure i set my alarm because, i cant wait until Nov 4 when we put you back in the basement of the ACC.maybe you can still get reggie ball to help out with the team im sure he is pumping gas some where .

Why do these always have to turn into internet troll conversations? I was at the scrimmage today, and I was most impressed with the ability of the backup QBs to cut through blocks and both Allen and Cox. Cox really is a powerful downhill runner
April 18th, 2010
12:40 am
yeah and i saw a good high school team today too
April 18th, 2010
12:45 am
hey vahokie,
I believe right now you're in no position to have this blurred point of view. AFTER Nov 4 maybe we can talk, but I bet Frank's not gonna be running this conference anymore now that Paul's in town. Keep drinking the koolaid troll
April 18th, 2010
12:53 am
cool name what are you 12 .i cant wait until you all are eating your words.PJ couldn't carry frankie B's head set
April 18th, 2010
1:15 am
vahokie- you made a statement that "we carry this lame conference". Seems so lame that your team couldn't win it all last year. So you are so superior that you can't win in a "lame" conference? The guard has changed for now. Whether that will be for the long run is to be determined..I'm not going to blow hot air and say that GT will dominate from here on out…but VT is currently playing second fiddle to the Jackets. And until that changes…you should go back to reading the Blacksburg Times and stay off the big boy's blogs. Gander over to UGA's blogs and let those Dawgs chew you a new one.
April 18th, 2010

lol count our rings .enjoy your one .i wont even waste my time on UG .UG love the hokies so much they tried to steal Bud.You GT fans are pathetic .
April 18th, 2010
7:41 am
Looking forward to sitting down and watching the spring game next weekend! Go Jackets. The turkey is better when its fried. Sure your team won the ACC twice out of the last 3 years, but you didnt beat the national champs week one and thats a big time program lol.
Expect the costal division to go through the hokies if we get to North Carolina for the ACC title game again.

Beamer traded in his lunch pail for a man purse…go back to the hills Billy.

vahokeypokey is actaully a closet dogg
April 18th, 2010
8:17 am
Virginia Tech is a good football program but there is one undisputed fact: GEORGIA TECH is the current ACC champ and VT is NOT.
April 18th, 2010
9:23 am
To the dawfan- Yeah the G-day game is so much better, wait, it is for you bc you didnt realize the alphabet went to T. Sit down, shut up and plug in CMR's tanning bed leghumper.
To vahokie- Nov. 4 is Nov. 4. If you beat GT then you can run your pie hole. But right now sit down and shut up right beside dawgfan. GT is the champs and ran over your butts in the game last year. You can cry chop block or whatever but I didnt see your "great" rbs or NIMROD Taylor do anything against or defense last year. AND OUR DEFENSE BLEEEEWWWW!!!! Defense will be better for gt this year and the offense wont miss a beat. The game on Nov. 4 will be tough, VT always plays much better at home. Cant wait for this season.
To JB- You said you had been at practice? If so how is the offensive line doing? Does it look like they are coming together? And how about the LBs? Are they grasping the scheme well?
April 18th, 2010
10:13 am
I Love Popeye.
April 18th, 2010
11:03 am
GT can lick my dawg nutzzz
April 18th, 2010
11:12 am
It must make GT fans sick that you won the ACC last year and even the experts still say the ACC runs through Blacksburg
April 18th, 2010
11:43 am
Vachokie, I gotta say that VT is actually my number two team. I root for you guys all the time, when not playing GT or playing a game that will hurt GT's shot at a conf championship since I lived in Tidewater for about 5 years. Last year I got to root for you every single game other than GT since you had no shot at an ACCCG after losing to Tech.
That said, you're a troll. Spreading hate and discontent. I won't even say wait until Nov 4. I say see if you can event beat a non-BCS team in Boise St before you talk trash to us. Beamer is right up there with the Vest in terms of winning big games out of conference. Let's see if you can do that first. Then come talk smack!
April 18th, 2010
11:45 am
Oh, by the way, good blog. I look for our offense to make as many big plays as last year, but not as many as to one single WR. Hill will get his touches. Bostic is making a STRONG case to get on the field early. Imagine him and Terrant returning kicks? Scary!
April 18th, 2010
11:55 am
tokyo jacket sorry you had to leave the 757 to watch that horribly excuse for a team .Don't worry about us and Boise .Im willing to bet my 401k you guys don't even beat South Carolina .you guys are not use to winning so take your one ring and your and enjoy .GO HOKIES
April 18th, 2010
12:13 pm
@ mwh6767: it's hard for me to judge o-line and linebackers since they're on the same team facing each other, but i can tell you that the defense seemed to perform better than the offensive line. I'd say it was because of the loss of the two starting guards, and because i think the 3-4 defense fits tech's athletes better. also, the secondary wasn't missing tackles like it did all last season
April 18th, 2010
12:17 pm
Seven wins would be a good year, eight would be wonderful, given losses on O-line, D-line, and at skill positions. CPJ will never admit to a "rebuilding" year (that's why we love him so) but this would seem to qualify. High expectations are OK, but unrealistic expectations will result in disappointment this season. By the way, we still want Hewitt to be fired.
April 18th, 2010
12:30 pm
"vahokie", we don't play South Carolina. You're not real smart.
April 18th, 2010
12:41 pm
the dude -south carolina state. I cant wait until the season starts im willing to bet i wont be able to find any of you homers when you lose 6 games

Giveaway: The Chieftain (ARC) by Margaret Mallory 60
I love this series. I'm not normally into medieval-set romances but I made an exception for Margaret Mallory's books. And the heroes in this series are particularly swoon-worthy.
Today you'll get a chance to pick up this gem a little early — it comes out in March. Just comment to enter to win!
Connor, chieftain of the MacDonalds of Sleat, holds the fate of his people in his hands. Rival clans are plotting to take over his lands, and duty determines whom he will fight, trust . . . even marry. Seeking guidance, Connor turns to Ilysa, a young lass with the gift of foresight, who reveals an approaching danger-and a passion that burns only for him. But the warrior must make a powerful marriage alliance, and Ilysa's bloodline is far too humble.
With her powers to heal and see evil where others cannot, beautiful Ilysa dresses plainly, speaks softly, and loves her chieftain from afar. Yet when Connor finally stokes the embers of desire that have so long burned within her, Ilysa feels bliss unlike any she's ever known. Now as he is forced to place duty before happiness, Ilysa senses Connor is in grave peril. Can she find a way to prove she is the woman he needs by his side?

Athens,Greece and the World
The Old Port of Istanbul by Werner Kunz on Flickr.
he is back :) by Gulfu on Flickr.
frogs3 by Mikaels photography on Flickr.
Environmental Disturbance on Flickr.
Greece: Sea Sun & Culture on Flickr.
Greece was the first area in Europe where advanced early civilizations emerged, beginning with the Minoan civilization in Crete and then the Mycenean civilization on the mainland.
Later, city-states emerged across the Greek peninsula and spread to the shores of Black Sea, South Italy and Asia Minor reaching great levels of prosperity that resulted in an unprecedented cultural boom, expressed in architecture, drama, science and philosophy, and nurtured in Athens under a democratic environment.
Athens and Sparta led the way in repelling the Persian Empire in a series of battles.
Both were later overshadowed by Thebes and eventually Macedon, with the latter under the guidance of Alexander the Great uniting and leading the Greek world to victory over the Persians, to presage the Hellenistic era, itself brought only partially to a close two centuries later with the establishment of Roman rule over Greek lands in 146 BC.
Many Greeks migrated to Alexandria, Antioch, Seleucia and the many other new Hellenistic cities in Asia and Africa founded in Alexander's wake.
The subsequent mixture of Roman and Hellenic cultures took form in the establishment of the Byzantine Empire in 330 AD around Constantinople, which remained a major cultural and military power for the next 1,123 years, until its fall at the hands of Ottomans in 1453.
On the eve of the Ottoman era much of the Greek intelligentsia migrated to the Italian territories and much of non-Ottoman occupied Europe, playing a significant role in the Western European Renaissance through the transferring of works of Ancient Greeks to Western Europe.
Nevertheless, the Ottoman millet system contributed to the cohesion of the Orthodox Greeks by segregating the various peoples within the Ottoman Empire based on religion, as the latter played an integral role in the formation of modern Greek identity.
After the Greek War of Independence, successfully fought against the Ottoman Empire from 1821 to 1829, the nascent Greek state was finally recognized under the London Protocol. In 1827, Ioannis Kapodistrias, from Ionian Islands, was chosen as the first governor of the new Republic.
However, following his assassination, the Great Powers installed a monarchy under Otto, of the Bavarian House of Wittelsbach. In 1843, an uprising forced the King to grant a constitution and a representative assembly.
Due to his unimpaired authoritarian rule, he was eventually dethroned in 1863 and replaced by Prince Vilhelm (William) of Denmark, who took the name George I and brought with him the Ionian Islands as a coronation gift from Britain. In 1877, Charilaos Trikoupis, who is attributed with the significant improvement of the country's infrastructure, curbed the power of the monarchy to interfere in the assembly by issuing the rule of vote of confidence to any potential prime minister.
As a result of the Balkan Wars, Greece successfully increased the extent of her territory and population, a challenging context both socially and economically. In the following years, the struggle between King Constantine I and charismatic Prime Minister Eleftherios Venizelos over the country's foreign policy on the eve of World War I dominated the country's political scene, and divided the country into two opposed groups.
In the aftermath of WWI, Greece fought against Turkish nationalists led by Mustafa Kemal, a war which resulted in a massive population exchange between the two countries under the Treaty of Lausanne.
According to various sources, several hundred thousand Pontic Greeks died during this period.
Instability and successive coups d'état marked the following era, which was overshadowed by the massive task of incorporating 1.5 million Greek refugees from Asia Minor into Greek society.
The Greek population in Istanbul had shrunk from 300,000 at the turn of the century to around 3,000 in the city today.
On 28 October 1940 Fascist Italy demanded the surrender of Greece, but Greek dictator Ioannis Metaxas refused and in the following Greco-Italian War, Greece repelled Italian forces into Albania, giving the Allies their first victory over Axis forces on land. The country would eventually fall to urgently dispatched German forces during the Battle of Greece.
The German occupiers nevertheless met serious challenges from the Greek Resistance. Over 100,000 civilians died from starvation during the winter of 1941–42. In 1943 virtually the entire Jewish population was deported to Nazi extermination camps.
After liberation, Greece experienced a bitter civil war between Royalist and Communist forces, which led to economic devastation and severe social tensions between its Rightists and largely Communist Leftists for the next 30 years.
The next 20 years were characterized by marginalisation of the left in the political and social spheres but also by a significant economic growth, propelled in part by the Marshall Plan.
In 1965, a period of political turbulence led to a coup d'etat on 21 April 1967 by the US-backed Regime of the Colonels. On November 1973 the Athens Polytechnic Uprising sent shock waves across the regime, and a counter-coup established Brigadier Dimitrios Ioannides as dictator.
On 20 July 1974, as Turkey invaded the island of Cyprus, the regime collapsed.
Former premier Constantine Karamanlis was invited back from Paris where he had lived in self-exile since 1963, marking the beginning of the Metapolitefsi era. On the 14 August 1974 Greek forces withdrew from the integrated military structure of NATO in protest at the Turkish occupation of northern Cyprus.
In 1975 a democratic republican constitution was activated and the monarchy abolished by a referendum held that same year.
Meanwhile, Andreas Papandreou founded the Panhellenic Socialist Party, or PASOK, in response to Constantine Karamanlis' New Democracy party, with the two political formations dominating Greek political affairs in the ensuing decades. Greece rejoined NATO in 1980.
Relations with neighbouring Turkey have improved substantially over the last decade, since successive earthquakes hit both nations in the summer of 1999 (see Greece-Turkey earthquake diplomacy), and today Athens is an active supporter of Turkey's bid for EU membership.
Greece became the tenth member of the European Union on 1 January 1981, and ever since the nation has experienced a remarkable and sustained economic growth. Widespread investments in industrial enterprises and heavy infrastructure, as well as funds from the European Union and growing revenues from tourism, shipping and a fast growing service sector have raised the country's standard of living to unprecedented levels.
The country adopted the Euro in 2001 and successfully organised the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens.

Fuseta (also known as Fuzeta) is a small parish of 2,000 people, which is situated 10km along the coast from Olhao. Despite its small size, tourism in Fuseta is on the rise – thanks mainly to its great location so close both Olhao and Faro, as well as its beautiful beach and laid-back atmosphere. If you are seeking a peaceful, seaside location in the south of Portugal for your next holiday rental choice, you can do far worse than take a closer look at Fuseta.
Despite its close proximity to the big cities, Fuseta lies in a semi-rural location, and is the perfect spot for a relaxing family break or a romantic holiday. The accommodation in the Fuseta is generally of a high standard, and many visitors are content with spending large chunks of their time sitting around the pool, enjoying a glass of local wine and taking in the relaxing views of the surrounding mountains and sea.
Another popular option for visitors to Fuseta is to hire a mountain bike and head off into the nearby hills. The Ria Formosa Nature Reserve is literally on the doorstep of Fuseta, and is a great place to explore on two wheels. It also has a number of nature walks and hiking trails to be followed, as well as options for bird watching and wildlife spotting.
Fuseta is also the home of an excellent beach and lagoon, and water sports are particularly popular in this part of the Algarve, with a range of sailing and windsurfing options on offer. Fuseta itself is a friendly market town, and has all of the bars, cafes, shops and restaurants that you need to enjoy a relaxing and memorable holiday in the Algarve.
Fuseta benefits from its prime position near to both Olhao and Faro. Olhao (10km) is the largest fishing port in the Algarve, and has a number of tourist attractions as well as a good infrastructure and amenities, whilst Faro (20km) is one of the most instantly recognisable Portuguese holiday destinations, being the capital of the Algarve region and an attractive Roman city. Aim to spend at least a day or two in both of these destinations during your stay in Fuseta.
A Mediterranean-Subtropical climate means that spring and summer are warm and sunny in Fuseta, whilst winter and autumn are mild, with heavier rainfall. The busiest months to visit are July and August, when the mercury can often rise above 30C and precipitation is almost non-existent.
Faro Airport (FAO) is busy with tourists throughout the summer, and receives a number of flights from the UK. Options for this route range from budget flights through to first-class seats on luxury aircraft, so you will never be short of choice. The airport is 3km outside the city of Faro, and 23km from Fuseta.

PETER in TX
Someone is pinching nickels too tight at Asterisk. I order a pair of these from RM on 6/19/14. On adjusting the leg clamps, I noticed the screws that hold this critical adjustment were binding, and the fit of the provided hex key was loose. It appeared that some else had attempted to set these screws before on the right side brace, and I couldn't get a SAE or metric key (my hex keys are quality German made) to fit the screws well enough to provide the required torque to hold the adjustment. RM sent me a replacement for the right brace, as I was able to get the left side set up. The left brace hadn't been returned and re-sold as the right side had. On receiving the 2nd right side brace, I find that it has the same issue as the first-mangled/out of spec clamp hardware. Someone has spun the flat retaining nut on the back side, under the padding. This obviously occurred due to binding, and the thin plastic ribs that were supposed to capture this nut and keep it from spinning had been ground down. This might have been avoided had the previous buyer lifted the pad and pressed the nut down between the ribs, but this was not mentioned in the very poor pictures only instructions. At this point, I called RM and explained about the poor hardware. They recommended PODs. These were on backorder for a few weeks, but since it was an exchange, I agreed to wait. Fast forward to 7/23/14, when my failed attempt to clear a double log obstacle results in a torn ACL and MCL in my right knee. Would the injury have been prevented had I been wearing braces? Can't say with any certainty, but they are designed to help prevent these types of injuries. I've seen hardware issues similar to this in Ti bolts I order from China-round holes that are supposed to be hex. Not the kind of crap I expect to see on a pair of $500.00 braces. RM called my cell while I was in the waiting room for my first medical appointment to tell me the backorder time on the PODs was extended. I replied "no hurry now, I'm sitting in a wheelchair with a blown out right knee." I suggested they re-evaluate their practice of selling defective/open box safety gear that can cause delays with serious consequences, and the nice dude on the phone said he would pass it upstairs (I never heard anything back). It was my choice to ride without the braces, so ultimately I'm responsible. My point is I had a reasonable expectation of having a functioning pair of braces 3.5 weeks before the injury. Now, I'm looking at a $5000.00 medical deductible, 2 months of rehab, and 5-6 months before I can ride my moto or MTB.Read All Reviews

Even with skinny legs, these things fit great under the Asterisk Cell knee braces. Saved the back of my legs from getting beat up by the laces I'm sure.Read All Reviews

I ordered this brace for my first ride following a severe tibial plateau fracture because it was the only one I could find that specifically protects the TP. I'm a 5'5" woman with a 30" inseam. I ordered the small. It's really long on my leg! I didn't realize it came with the boot tether, but not the undersleeve. The included directions are Ikea style, with no words, just pictures. Once on and tethered to my boot, I could barely move my leg. Certainly not going to over rotate or hyper-extend my leg. My surgeon did say that a brace isn't going to protect against the type of fracture I got. I did feel better about returning to the bike with the brace on, but it was awkward to ride with.Read All Reviews

DETROIT (WKZO) -- Detroit Mayor Dave Bing responded Tuesday to recent criticism leveled against the city from Boston Mayor Thomas Menino. Bing said that Menino used an unfortunate choice of words when he said he would "blow up" the Motor City in a recent "New York Times" interview.
In a statement, Bing said he would think the mayor of a city that recently experienced a deadly bombing would be more sensitive and avoid using the phrase "blow up." In the interview, the Boston mayor said "I'd blow up the place and start all over."
Bing says that Menino doesn't have his facts straight regarding Detroit and invited him to visit.

This is a deep animation that will make you think about your life.
JK they're just 30 seconds of senseless animation I did for the TOFA open round.
The idea is that Death hosts a game show in the underworld and the soul that wins gets another day on earth, a friend gave that idea to me. So it's just two underworld habitants completing tasks for Death.
I must thank someplaceelse for encouraging me in participating :)
Rated 4 / 5 stars May 12, 2011
I liked it! The animation was the best part: solid and fluid. The voices were a little hard to understand though, but that's all.
Good luck in the TOFA, luckily, your going to be able to participate in the next round due to the few competitors!
YAY! for few competitors!

A Vision of Fiammetta!
I'm head over heels in love with the name Fiammetta! A week or so back my boyfriend and I started looking at middle names, and (by accident) put two O names in the middle. Which led to initials FOO... I am not at all a nickname person, but now I am obsessed with having a little flame called Foo. The problem is O names are limited, and as much as I love them, most of them sound kind of similar. These are the ones we've got already: Octavia, Oenone, Olivia, Olwen, Olympia, Ophelia, Orabel, Orchil, Orphne, Orseis, Orthia, Ortygia, Osanna, Ostara, Otrera, Ourania, Oxya & Oya. Any other suggestions? We want the name to sound sweet, warm and golden, like a little flame.
Other names we've been thinking of are Flaxen, June and Xanthe, although they would not make a Foo nickname...
Any other flaming little names come to mind? Combo suggestions would be welcome as well. We've been thinking about Fiammetta Olwen Ostara or Fiammetta Orseis Ourania.[FONT=Palatino Linotype][CENTER]My darling Marian Illyria Aphrodite, March 2013 & Little Bunny (a girl!) due 9th of February 2014[/CENTER][/FONT]

Odessa is one of my own personal favorites for girls O names.
I also didn't see Orianthe/Orianthi (Or-ee-an-thee) mentioned yet.

10years at the USA 7s:Cheering for Samoa by Mila - over 1 year ago
"This picture was taken on February 8, 2013 at the International Rugby USA 7s Tournament at Sam Boyd Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada. We are a Manu Samoa Fan Support Club called Manu Fanatiks and we have been together as a club for 10years . We've been going to the USA 7s for 10 years. We cheer for the country of Samoa because most of us are expatriates or descendents of Samoan heritage. Our white sweatshirts were made at customink as well as the sapphire tshirts worn underneath the sweatshirts. "

RE: Toilet Flushing Regulations. A little known Executive Order has been issued in 2010 to that effect under the guise of energy efficiency. Flush every other day to create tidal rhythm which will push ships out of port. This will be a savings of $75, 393,776,322.57 per year according to BO. The Executive Order is known as the "Don Novello Energy Savings Plan".

Several people in Nassau County have dropped dead from a powerful synthetic narcotic called fentanyl, according to the Nassau County Medical Examiner's Office.
Initially, authorities believed the victims overdosed on heroin, but further analysis showed they'd used fentanyl mixed with metamizole, a banned substance, that came in packets stamped with "24K" in red ink, police said.
Fentanyl is about 100 times more potent than morphine, according to police. In a medical setting, fentanyl is used to either treat severe pain or as an anesthetic.
Metamizole has been banned in the United States since 1977.
The Nassau County Medical Examiner's Office believes that the "24K" packets are being sold to drug users as heroin but in reality contain the deadly fentanyl and metamizole cocktail.

Album Rating: 3.5(hed)pe... punk????Thats what I was thinking, but (hed)p.e. has bit more punk influenced songs nowadays.

Album Rating: 1.5Horrid lyrics, uninspired and samey songs, and a worthless singer... It's cool for the novelty, but only Suffa and Children had any staying power, and Children could have done without the random screamy and heavy section which practically rapes the song. The first two were okay, Blackout was so so, and everything after has been blech
Album Rating: 3.5Maybe you should try listening again. You didn't like Walk On By?
Album Rating: 3.0I haven't expected anything particularly good form these guys after a few uninspired records, but they improved on this cd. This is surprisingly good crossover album.This Message Edited On 06.30.08
Album Rating: 3.5True. This albums has its flaws of course, but overall if you ignore songs like Mirrorballin and Tienanmen Squared, it can be quite the rewarding listen.
Punk legends! Great review.
Album Rating: 4.5love this album
