Palam Vihar very insecure
Palam Vihar developed / promoted by Ansals during late 80s is one of the oldest Posh Colony of Gurgaon but unfortunately it is no more a place to live in peacefully mainly due to Security reasons.
With a very negligible Police presence chain / purse snatching even during broad daylight is a routine affair besides the stealing of Cars and thefts/ robberies, etc .Palam Vihar has now turned up a very Happy Ground for the Robbers .Necklace / Chains wearing is now almost out of fashion for the ladies while some of them switched on to artificial Jewelry . In other words our young ladies are deprived of the Right to Freedom
Recently on 28th August ,2009 , a Resident was robbed of his Car at Pistol point by a group. An effort was made to catch them but of no avail. Even PCR met enroute didn't perform their duty in chasing them. What a Pity ? No of Crimes in Palam Vihar are on increase day by day.
The Gurgaon Police takes a step-mother treatment with Palam Vihar in comparison to DLF and other Colonies latest developed in New Gurgaon
Our Police has completely failed in monitoring Illegal Bangladeshi Migrants who are the main brain behind in Crimes , thefts and robberies with the support of their female family members who work as maids/ helpers in most of the houses .The Police neither has any Record nor any Verification for such Migrants .
The local PCR Service is hardly effective/ available . At night a Constable on an Auto patrols but cautions the thieves / robbers with the Siren/hooter to be more vigilant and hide till he passes away the route. It is an encouragement but not a check in any form.
These is no proper Security check at any level whether it is the Security arrangement of the Star Facilities Management Ltd or the local Police .Huge gates fabricated by PVRA again are of no use since most of the time they are unmanned and at no point there is any check at Entry in any Block. Money thus spent on fabrication is a total wastage of funds with only a benefit to the Fabricators, might have related or otherwise had a contact with some PVRA member
PVRA must have worked out the implementation of the Project before going for the fabrication .
Even Street Light at some point is not functioning for over 2 months e,g Pole No : E-82 meaning by SFML has no constant check on the light posts.
Some of the Residents are now double minded to go back to Delhi and even the Plot Owners are too on the second thought whether to build houses or not in Palam Vihar.
Police verification be made mandatory for the Servants and the Tenants with immediate effect subject to the Police support for additional work-load .
Hello Madam Bala
Thanks for the respnse.
In fact there is no law and order in UP and Haryana .Our Home Ministery must take steern action against the defaulters, IGs , SSPs and down line.
With best wishes-JFW
Dear John,
It is astonishing that a residential enclave mostly inhabited by retired armed forces personnel is facing a serious security threat.That the safety of peace loving citizens is threatened even in broad day-light by criminals on the rampage in a township bordering the national capital is a shame on the constabulary charged with the responsibility of law and order.The higher police officers of the district must be contacted and effective patrolling done without explicitly warning the criminals with a siren which only amounts to showmanship.All suspicious characters and history sheeters regularly tagged and their movements monitored.All maid servants should be given a verifiable identity . Local resident groups must meet often under senior citizens and awareness created about personal safety. The youngsters must be actively involved in follow-up measures even if it is going to cause some personal inconvenience.The last two steps are easier said than done ! In addition officials in the home ministry may be petitioned such that the local policemen are kept on toes !

L'Wren Scott hates 'girlfriend' tag
L'Wren Scott hates being referred to as Sir Mick Jagger's girlfriend and wants to be recognised for her own talent as a fashion designer
L'Wren Scott hates being referred to as simply Sir Mick Jagger's girlfriend.
The London based fashion designer, 46, says it is important for her to been recognised for her own talent despite admitting that the Rolling Stones rocker is her latest muse.
She told The Times magazine: ''I don't court that life. I'd rather be a worker bee.
''I'm a fashion designer. I don't want to be defined as someone's girlfriend.
''You always wonder if people will pay attention to the hard work that goes into what you do. And when you're taking on something on your own, it's your company, your investment - your life.''
The former model designed all of her 69-year-old boyfriend's outfits for the Rolling Stones' 50th anniversary tour and she revealed it involved a huge amount of work because his top priority is to be ''comfy''.
She added: ''It was great to do the tour. It was a big budget. The wardrobe was like a collection in itself.''
L'Wren Scott made her debut at London Fashion Week today (17.02.13), and unveiled her new autumn/winter collection. She showed her spring collection for the first time in Paris after five years of exclusively showing in New York City.
As well as her fashion empire, L'Wren launched her first perfume 'L'Wren Scott' in New York department store Barneys earlier this month.

Photographs For Remembering
Don't wait until it's too late
Please note comments are moderated. After being approved your comment will appear below.
Submitted by Maura | February 26 2013 | Permalink
As a photographer I take a ton of photos of my dogs doing everything. What I REALLY wish I had more of from previous dogs is video of them. I have no video of some of my dogs and a couple of others, and I think more than photos you feel like they are with you again when watching the videos of them. I try to remember to take more videos of my current dogs just playing and hanging out around the house- you can really remember their personalities when watching a video later. I even like watching them over and over and my 2 dogs are still alive! I also keep a personal blog to remember our memories by (www.onthegomutts.com).

With a long list of forwards out with injuries the Blackhawks won their second straight game by edging Carolina 3-2. Patrick Kane (LTIR), Brandon Saad and Bryan Bickell were all on the sidelines.
This was an impressive performance for stretches but at other times the Hawks were not as focused. The same could be said to a lesser extent about the Hurricanes effort. Carolina was not engaged at the beginning of the night and couldn't muster any real offense over the last 10 minutes. This game mattered a great deal to the Canes who really can't afford many more losses if they are going to qualify for postseason play.
Fortunately for the Blackhawks Corey Crawford had a very good game. Crawford was called upon to make some difficult saves. Although the Carolina power play is ranked near the bottom of the league they managed 13 shots while on the man advantage.
The Hawks committed six penalties, and none were necessary. Maybe a couple of the calls could be considered soft but for the most part they were deserved. If not for Crawford the outcome could have been different.
Jonathan Toews didn't have his best game and appeared frustrated at times. He was whistled for hooking and slashing penalties but when the going got tough Toews responded. The Hawks captain scored a beautiful game winning goal on a breakaway while shorthanded early in the third period.
Sheldon Brookbank skated at forward as well as Rockford call-up Jeremy Morin. Included in the mix was newly acquired defenseman David Rundblad who replaced the injured Michal Rozsival. All of the fresh faces gave a decent account of themselves.
Patrick Sharp opened the scoring with his 30th goal of the season on a breakaway. Slightly over 13 minutes later Kris Versteeg scored to give the Hawks a comfortable 2-0 lead.
Old habits die hard as the Blackhawks lost focus and had a combination of errors which allowed the Canes to score with 38 seconds left in the middle frame. The Hawks committed a turnover plus a poor line change and Carolina found some life. Early in third period Alexander Semin scored his second goal of the game to tie the score on a power play.
The Hawks did hold Carolina without a shot over the last 9:40 of the game. It wasn't a full sixty minute effort as was the case versus the Blues, but it was good enough.
The Blackhawks will look to stay on a roll and avenge a recent loss as Nashville pays a visit on Sunday night.
Al's Shots
Nick Leddy picked up his 27th assist to go along with seven goals on the campaign. Leddy has the most power play goals (4) of any Chicago defender. Of all the Hawk defensemen, Leddy has the highest shooting percentage (6.5).
In a Friday presser GM Stan Bowman announced the arrival Teuvo Teräväinen. As much as Bowman is correct in downplaying the expectations of the 19 year old his arrival has many fans abuzz.
The word form those with a trained hockey eye is TT has elite skill.
The question now is how quickly he will adjust to the NHL. Another concern is if TT will have enough gas left after the adrenaline rush wears off to be a solid contributor.
This season, TT has played in 49 games and participated in the World Junior Championships. He led that tourney in scoring and was a major reason Finland defeated Sweden in the championship game.
TT could make his debut either Sunday or Tuesday.

|Smallz & Raskind
For Constantine Maroulis, this could very well be the moment.
Maroulis, who shot to fame on "American Idol" and received a 2009 Tony Award nomination for his work in Rock of Ages, is portraying the title roles in the reconceived, Broadway-bound production of the musical Jekyll & Hyde.
And though this is his first time carrying a show, the supremely confident Maroulis is neither daunted by the responsibility or by the challenge of playing dual roles.
"I try not to think of one part as more difficult than the next," he said at the start of rehearsals late in the summer. "I know this is going to be a big role, or roles. But I feel you should approach every role with the passion and desire to find everything you need to find as an actor and artist. That's how I approached Rock of Ages, and that's how I'd approach Hamlet, which I'd love to do one day. I go about everything the same way."
Jekyll & Hyde, by Frank Wildhorn and Leslie Bricusse, previews in La Mirada, CA, in September before kicking off its 25-week national tour in San Diego on Oct. 2. It's set to arrive on Broadway next spring. The musical co-stars Deborah Cox and is directed and choreographed by Jeff Calhoun. The original production opened on Broadway in 1997 and was critically disparaged, but developed a huge following and had a solid run of 1,543 performances.
The show has since become an international phenomenon, with more than 35 productions worldwide. This latest version features a revised script, a slightly different song list, new orchestrations and a new physical production.
"Any time you have a title with such history and recognition, it's important to take a fresh look at it," says Maroulis. "I'm a huge fan of Frank's music, but oddly enough I've never seen Jekyll & Hyde. Neither has Jeff. And I think that's a nice place to start. Because I've never seen anyone do the part before, and because we're taking such a fresh look at the material, I feel like I'm creating a new role. We feel we have a really lean and mean script. The cast is amazing, and Jeff is a very meticulous, detail-oriented director. Our approach is very grounded and very real, not over the top."

Biden yet undecided about running for top post in 2016
Washington, United States (4E) – United States Vice President Joe Biden on Tuesday said that he is yet undecided on whether or not to run for the top post in 2016.
In a statement to CNN, Biden said that neither he nor outgoing Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has decided on this matter.
He said, "There's a whole lot of reasons why I wouldn't run. I haven't made that decision and I don't have to make that decision for a while."
When asked about his rematch with Clinton for a White House race in next elections, Biden said, "I haven't made that judgment and Hillary hasn't made that judgment."
In 2008, the vice-president had unsuccessfully campaigned for Democratic nomination against Clinton.
"Everything that should be done over the next two years that I should be part of would have to be done whether I run or I don't run. If this administration is successful, whoever is running has a better position to run. If we are not successful, whoever runs as a nominee is going to be less likely to win," he told CNN in an interview.

Vermont women earn more than national averageFebruary 19,2013The Associated Press
Women's education and salaries have increased over the years, increasing their share of household income, but women on average still earn just 77 cents for every dollar a man makes.
In Massachusetts, where more people have bachelor's degrees than in any other state, the wage gap between men and women is the 13th largest in the nation.
Women in Massachusetts earn 77 cents for ever dollar a man earns, the same as the national average, according to the American Association of University Women, an advocacy group in Washington, D.C.
In Vermont, by comparison, women earn 87 cents for every dollar earned by men.
Counterintuitively, the wage gap expands as women move up the corporate ladder because there are fewer rules about compensation in upper management, said Victoria Budson, executive director of the Women and Public Policy Program at Harvard University's Kennedy School.
"It's incredibly important for people to understand that women's wages are key definers of a family's economic life," she said. "For the health of families, communities, and the state, it is imperative that women are paid fairly for their labor."
In households in which men don't have a college degree, women's financial contributions play an even bigger role. Men with lower levels of education were hit hardest by job losses during the recession, and wives' share of family earnings income surpassed husbands in these households, according to the Carsey Institute at the University of New Hampshire study. Women married to men with a high school diploma or less provided 51 percent of the household income in 2011, a jump of 4 percentage points from 2009.
More educated men, on the other hand, tend to marry educated women, and these couples' earnings took less of a beating during the downturn, further widening gap between the highest and lowest incomes, said Andrew Sum, director of Northeastern University's Center for Labor Market Studies.
"At the bottom, women's share is going up largely because men's earning are going down," he said. "At the top, wives are both working more and earning more relative to their husbands, but their husbands' earnings are not declining."
Caitlin LoCascio-King, a lawyer in Auburn, Maine, quit her job in 2011 after she had a baby and started a part-time solo practice.
But she ramped up her hours last year when her family's health care costs increased and her husband's pay raises were not keeping up with the cost of living.
"My plan was just to bring in a little money to help my family," said LoCascio-King, 28, who has a 2-year-old and a 9-month-old and trades off child care duties with her husband, who works nights. "It has grown much bigger than that in large part because of the economy."
LoCascio-King estimates she will be the main breadwinner this year, and that is just fine with her husband, a police officer in Portland: "My husband is thrilled with my new nickname, Sugar Mama."MORE IN This Just InA Rutland judge has denied Christopher Sullivan's motion to exclude an expert's testimony from...

text: DULUTH, MN (KDAL) - City officials on Wednesday announced plans to redo the portion of Superior Street between Lake Avenue and 5th Avenue West in the next month. Noting the brick street is nearing the end of its useful life, Mayor Don Ness said the construction is needed to make necessary repairs and will be part of a larger Superior Street reconstruction that would happen in 2015. Ness didn't rule out that the larger project could involve brick, but said the city will spend substantial time meeting with businesses and residents to come up with the best way to redo the street and make it viable for the next 30 to 40 years. A steering committee will be set up, and the city will start working with the public toward the end of the summer. The temporary fix will take place in the next few weeks and will be completed in time for Grandma's Marathon, officials said.

This conversation is closed.
Are we being subject to emotional and financial blackmail by public officials ?
Currently in the USA, there is a great debate about a recently passed law which will cut a small percentage from the Federal Budget for next year's expenses. Next year's budget is higher then this years, so the proposed cut is in the increase.
There has been a great hue and cry by the Federal Administration, that this law will seriously hamper many functions that the Federal Government provides, such as food safety, children's health and welfare, transportation, etc. They want the cut removed or else.
In our state, the public schools with huge budgets are demanding even more in eductions funds or else the children will not be well educated.
Of course, public education has fallen to levels below most of the industrialized nations.
Needless to say that these public institutions are rife with waste and mismanagement.

Organic Yukon Blend®
Product Info
A hearty blend of certified organic coffees, with well-rounded flavor and deep herbal notes.
Tasting Notes Hearty & Well Rounded
Enjoy this with: A bowl of hot oatmeal and sunrise all to yourself.
Product Details
Organic Yukon Blend®
It might sound like a tall tale, but we created this coffee in 1971 to warm the crew of a Bering Sea fishing boat. Lively coffees from Latin America blend with the herbal spice of beans from Sumatra. Certified 100% organic, it's hearty and smooth enough to warm you too, no boat required.
How to Brew
Recipe for great coffee
- Use cold, filtered water and a clean machine.
- Grind beans just before brewing:
- Coarse for coffee press
- Medium for automatic drip
- Measure 2 tbsp (10 g) ground coffee for every 6 fl oz (180 ml) water.
To help preserve that fresh flavor, keep this bag sealed tight in a cabinet (not in the refrigerator) and brew within a week of opening.
The Starbucks Roast
Each coffee requires slightly different amounts of time and temperature during the roasting process to create a cup at its peak of aroma, acidity, body and flavor. We classify our coffees in three roast profiles so you can easily find your desired flavor and intensity.
- Blonde: Blonde-roasted coffees have a shorter roast time, lighter body and mellow flavors.
- Medium: Medium-roasted coffees are balanced with smooth and rich flavors.
- Dark: Dark-roasted coffees feature a fuller body and robust, bold flavors.
A Better Cup
We're committed to ethically sourcing and roasting the highest-quality arabica coffee in the world. When we buy coffee this way, it fosters a better future for farmers, and a more stable climate for the planet. It also helps create a long-term supply of the high-quality beans we've been carefully blending, roasting and packing fresh for more than 40 years.

The Defenders is a Marvel Comics superhero team.Not to be confused with the Animated Series Defenders of the Earth, or with the 1960s TV show The Defenders, which was about a group of lawyers. Or, for that matter, the current TV show The Defenders, which is also about lawyers.note The Defenders have a long and varied history. The team grew out of a couple of team-ups between Doctor Strange, the Incredible Hulk, Namor the Sub-Mariner, and the Silver Surfer in the early 1970s. These became the team's founding members; it should be noted that all four of them were among the most powerful of Marvel's heroes who did not belong to a team yet. However, this was an unlikely alliance, as all four were more used to acting alone, especially Hulk and Namor, both of whom are more correctly antiheroes.The Silver Surfer was quickly written out (as at the time, Stan Lee considered him to be his pet character and was not keen on letting other writers use him) and new characters were introduced to flesh out the roster. Nighthawk, originally a Captain Ersatz for Batman but then reinvented as one for Hawkman; Daimon Hellstrom, the horror-themed hero "Son of Satan"; Hellcat, originally a character from Marvel's comedy/romance comics reinvented as a Cat-themed heroine (using the costume of The Cat, who herself had become Tigra); Gargoyle, an elderly man who, while trying to cheat death, ended up trapped in the body of a demon; and The Valkyrie, a Norse goddess trapped in the body of a woman known to Hulk and Strange were brought onto the team along with Doctor Strange, and Sub-Mariner became a recurring character within the title, often making sporadic appearances. The group itself had loose guidelines for membership, as technically, everybody who helped them was a 'Defender' (this was lampshaded in a story where a membership drive — started without their permission or knowledge — led to a mess as both heroes wanting to join, and villains trying to pretend they were Defenders, ran into each other.) Still, the heroes listed above were the most commonly associated with the team. They tended to meet in Doctor Strange's New York brownstone, and later, in the wealthy Nighthawk's estate.This age of the series was famous for its bizarre stories and villains; most notably: The Headmen, a group of villains with weird heads; The Elf With A Gun, a mysterious elf-like character who went around shooting people for no reason (and whom The Defenders never actually met!) and Vera Gemini, a demonic cult leader who was based on an actual rock and roll band (Blue Oyster Cult)'s songs! These stories were largely written by Steve Gerber and David Anthony Kraft, who shepherded the group for the 1970s and early 1980s.In the early 1980s, Marvel decided to revamp the book. Nighthawk was killed off (later upgraded to a Convenient Coma), Hellcat and Daimon Hellstrom married and retired, and a (bogus?) prophecy that Doctor Strange, Hulk, Namor, and Silver Surfer would bring about the end of the world led them to leave the team. Valkyrie and Gargoyle reformed the group with three of the founding member of the X-Men (The Beast, The Angel and Iceman), along with the morally ambiguous Moondragon, the young Atlantis warrior Andromeda, and Cloud, a gas based alien who shape-shifted into both a man and woman during its time with the Defenders. Based in Colorado, in Angel's mansion, this incarnation lasted two years before the title was canceled so that the X-Men characters could be be freed up for the upcoming X-Factor series. The entire team, save for Angel, Beast, and Iceman, died saving a possessed Moondragon.)In the early 1990s, Marvel attempted to revive the Defenders as "Secret Defenders". This new series would have Doctor Strange organize squads of random heroes (including Wolverine, Spider-Man, Darkhawk, the second Spider-Woman, Ghost Rider, Hulk, Luke Cage, Deadpool, and many others) for one-off missions. Despite being considerably hyped by Marvel, the series did not do well and with the title launching coinciding with the launching of the more successful "Midnight Sons" horror sub-line (in which Doctor Strange could not take part due to Secret Defenders), it was decided to remove him from the book so that his title could be folded into the Midnight Son line. The title was then revamped with Doctor Druid as the new leader and a group of new heroes, but this new direction did little to revive interest in the book and it was quietly canceled by the end of its second year.Ironically, before Secret Defenders launched, Marvel tested the waters not once but twice with two storylines involving the reunion of the original core Defenders. An arc in the pages of Incredible Hulk denounced the prophecy that drove the founders away from the team and the group later regrouped in the 1992 mini-annual event "Return of the Defenders", as evil demons hijacked Namor's body (sticking the hero inside Rick Jones' body) as part of a plot to summon their evil master. But the original Defenders would not be given their own title until 2002. Written by Kurt Busiek and drawn by Erik Larsen, the title had the four heroes "cursed" to teleport to random fights on behalf of the spirit of Earth known as Gaia. The series was critically and commercially unsuccessful and the title ended with a six part arc in which the book was retitled "The Order" and it was revealed that the curse from issue one was part of a greater scheme to manipulate the Defenders into turning evil and conquering the world for an evil sorcerer.More successful, however, was Keith Giffen and Kevin McGuire's 2005 "Defenders" mini-series, which had the four face off against Dormammu and his sister Umar. The series recast the franchise as a comedy book, a la Giffen and McGuire's critically acclaimed Justice League International run, with the characters largely acknowledging the absurdity of lives as super-heroes and super-villains as well as exploring why the main four (Surfer, Namor, Hulk, and Strange) continued to associate with each other despite having nothing in common.After the events of Civil War, Joe Casey wrote a new mini-series called "The Last Defenders", which had Nighthawk struggling to rebuild the team after being assigned to the state of New Jersey by Iron Man. The series itself explored the fan notion of the "lameness" of the original team's later members versus the bonds that existed between them: heroes assigned to the team quit on Nighthawk due to them not wanting to be associated with the "Defenders" brand and Iron Man himself constantly refused Nighthawk's attempts to recruit past Defenders like Valkyrie on the basis that said past members did not have the necessary star quality. Though the roster of the group would be finalized at the end of the mini-series, later writers (including Dan Slott, who wrote She-Hulk's ongoing book at the time) ignored it and the group vanished from sight until a Casey series called Vengeance debuted in 2011.However, that hasn't stopped other writers from using the concept, as Jeph Loeb reunited the founders again in the pages of "Hulk", pitting Strange, Surfer, Hulk, and Namor up against "The Offenders", a quartet organized by the villainous Red Hulk that consisted of himself, Baron Mordo, Terrax, and Tiger Shark.The 2011 crisis crossover Fear Itself teased a Defenders reunion in tie-in series "The Deep," where Strange, Namor, and Surfer (together with the mutant Loa and Lyra, Hulk's daughter) joined forces to stop Attuma, one of the eight Worthy. The tease was followed up by an announcement that Matt Fraction would be behind a new Defenders book debuting at the end of 2011 with the additions of Iron Fist and Red She-Hulk to the classic lineup. Unfortunately, this book ended after twelve issues.As part of the Marvel NOW relaunch, the Defenders flag was flown by Valkyrie at the head of the all-female Fearless Defenders, a title which originated in the Fear Itself tie-in, The Fearless but it was cancelled at issue 12.In November 2013, it was announced that Marvel would be producing a Defenders TV series for Netflix. Confirmed characters include Luke Cage, Daredevil, Jessica Jones, and Iron Fist.

Daughter appreciates McLean estate sale service
Testimonial from Ann Reavey. Orion's Attic conducted an estate sale for her father in August 2014. We sold almost all of the contents of the home, consigned a few high-end pieces remaining from the sale, transported a number of other items to charity and left the house broom clean.
Fantastic! Thank you so much!
I can't tell you how pleased I have been with working with you and your crew. This process has been difficult logistically and emotionally, thank you for making it much easier for me on both fronts. Please know that I will enthusiastically recommend you to others!
Let's get eclectic at Bethesda estate sale Aug. 9-10
Let Orion's Attic offer the following pop quiz:
Have you ever been to a single estate sale that was so eclectic that it included all of the following items: Genuine Native American art and jewelry, Quimper pottery, Jerry Garcia images, coat rack made of copper tubing, leather biker chick jacket, drone, Mermaid stained glass panel, life-sized pig figurine, bronze sculptures featuring emergency responders, lithographs and pins honoring each branch of America's armed forces and a custom-made toilet seat adorned with nickels, dimes, quarters and Kennedy half-dollars?

Thanks to everyone who made Bowie estate sale great!
Thank you, Bowie, Maryland! We never have enough time to thank everyone personally for the tremendous support you give us at our estate sales. While a 60-second video and a note here can't fully express our gratitude, do click on the Bowie estate sale video for a more personal gesture.
The sale exceeded all of our expectations. We cleared out most of the house, connected people with all kinds of treasures they love, created great new car restoration projects for several buyers and even found a new home for the humongous rusted dump truck in the field. A man with a love for "ostentatious" yard art claimed it thanks to a friend who stopped by the sale. We also thank all the shoppers who provided us leads for future estate sales and buying opportunities. Double thanks as always to folks who attended both days of the sale and brought friends and family on day two!
Along the way, you made it possible for us to provide another weekend of employment for our youth labor force, who earned more than $250 per person in wages plus tips! We also raised $200 for our favorite charity, House With A Heart Senior Pet Sanctuary.
Thank you, Bowie!

Dead Space? Turn It into a Mini Office
Unlock the hidden potential of forgotten space by turning it into a mini office. Unused spaces like the corner of a bedroom or living room, a nook, under the stairway, or a dead-end hallway, can be more than dead space to hang wall decor. Wall-mounted desks, secretary desks, or built-in secretaries can turn any area into a mini office. Extremely functional and compact, these versions of the classic secretary hide office clutter in a snap.
These five great secretary desks remind us that small things can pack a punch and turn dead space into useful space. To highlight a couple of unique qualities, number one is built directly into the wall, much like built-in shelving. Number two is the most compact of all the examples. This light, steel variety mounts directly to the wall and is modular, giving it many possibilities for clustering. Number three also includes an optional cabinet for the top, adding potential as a China cabinet or television armoire.
Here are five great examples of secretary desks from spartan to splurge!
(Shown above the jump, from left to right)
1. Example of a built-in secretary desk, $(Consult local contractors for pricing) from Martha Stewart
2. Ikea PS Laptop Workstation, $59.99 from Ikea
3. Hemnes Secretary Gray-Brown, $299.00 from Ikea
4. Butler Secretary Desk-Signature Home, $662.00 from Homelement
5. French Key Dark Oak Secretary, $3,748.00 from Layla Grayce

Okay, that was great timing! I just spent an hour going through fold down desk images and found the IKEA laptop work station. But you forgot the ubiquitous Murphy Desk, in two shades of wonderful. I do love the one in #1, though.
Every home should have one!
What I find funny is a lot of home desks used to be this way. The resurgence of old way made new again, every things circular.
I have my grandfather's old secretary desk and the bottom is drawer space. I LOVE it and you can find these pieces at thrift/antique stores occasionally.
I love the picture of the first one until I realized it is a "built in" and suggests a contractor. I need something MOBILE so I'm not married to the placement.
These ideas are so right on - any space can have functional potential. I just turned a built-i in the kitchen into a desk area. A great organized work area doesn't take a lot of space.

This feels like a broken record: why do the editors of this site continue to refer to meat-eaters as carnivores?
Gracious! We usually do refer to meat-eaters as omnivores; to wit: the recent Quick Weeknight Meals contest. I just used carnivore purposefully to really emphasize the meaty side of things. Had no idea it was such a hot-button issue with y'all!
A carnivore only eats meat. humans eat a wide variety of foods, hence they are omnivores. Why do vegetarians make such a big deal out of avoiding meat?
Thanks --I don't eat a lot of meat, so I don't look for recipes--it helps to see options!
In my experience, it is not that vegetarians "make such a big deal" about the fact that they do not eat meat, but that North America is a predominantly omnivorous continent. It's disappointing to think that defending one's dietary choices could be construed as "making such a big deal out of things".
Personally, I think the use of carnivore in the post was fitting considering the topic at hand. It's just unfortunate that such a great list of recipes as the one above has been obscured by a debate surrounding a single politically incorrect term.
Thanks for the great ideas! They all look delicious.
I'd love some more ideas as to quick and easy meals that I can prepare with ground beef/chuck besides using it in a tomato based pasta sauce, "taco" night or for hamburgers. Ground beef is economical, tasty and quick to prepare. If you purchase it without too high of a fat content-is also healthy. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Rosebud~ I use ground beef or turkey in a quick "mexi-casserole" during the week. Brown the meat, add cumin, salt, chili powder, cayenne, & a jar of picante. Layer that with a can of drained black beans, shredded cheese, & flour tortillas cut into halves. Top with cheese, bake til bubbly, & finish with diced tomatos & scallions.
Rosebud -- I use ground beef in meatloaf, cabbage rolls, meatballs (my mom makes them in the crock-pot with a bottle of Diana sauce poured over top, and then serves them over rice). You can also use it as a pizza topping, in risotto, and in goulash. I'm not personally a fan of goulash, but some people enjoy it.
Cothar and SarahBerneche: thanks for the new ideas!
Is it possibly that meat eaters dislike "carnivore" because vegetarians make them feel guilty? I'm technically an "omnivore" but I have no problem with carnivore.
