Creating Nurseries Out of Closets
Renters Solutions
- We already featured this nursery from Neila Hutt for its smart choices and simple design.
- Considering the average newborn baby is only 6.8 lbs., this Apartment Therapy reader's 4.5" x 7.5" room is just fine.
- Perk: you only need a tiny bit of wallpaper for such a tiny space, as Hudson's parents know, from over at Baby Mine.
- Granted, this nursery seen on HGTV's Rate My Space was a walk-in closet, but still - I'd certainly live here.
- Jordan Ferney from Oh Happy Day wins the award for not one, but two, kids in one closet.

Okay, the last one has me worried/confused. How do you get the baby up to the top? Especially when he or she is asleep? My youngest climbed out of his crib for the first time at just over 6 months, so don't underestimate the baby's climbing skills. I don't think this arrangement will be practical for long.
PS: I'm picturing that the top bunk is for the youngest child, is that incorrect?
That last one confuses me too, but I do wish I had a closet large enough to turn into a nursery!
I carried my last baby in a Gladstone bag for two weeks as a newborn - I had him while we were on holiday in Australia and I didn't want to have too much baggage. Babies used to sleep in the bottom drawer of the dresser in poor households, open I assume...
How can you justify having an infant sleeping in a one-entrance, windowless room? All of these break fire codes except the pass-through one.
The funniest thing about walk-in closests: They actually give you LESS storage per square foot used than regular on the wall closets or armoires.
Walk-ins confuse me altogether. I can understand that a woman might acquire a lot of clothing, getting dressed is a far more compelx process for females than it is for males, but I couldn't imagine a man needing a walk-in closet.
I would totally do this for maybe the first year if I was stuck in a lease and having a baby but only and ONLY if the closet had a decent window. Like in the first picture.
Good point.
There better be a window if you're going to make a closet into a bedroom. There are building codes for a reason, people!
I agree with the previous comments--babies may be small, but they still should be cared for in compliance with fire and safety laws. How is doing otherwise ok AT ALL? I've also never seen a closet with an air vent in it--you'd be closing your kid up in a dark, airless box.
As for walk-in closets, I prefer them (for my clothes, not my loved ones.) Yes, I'm female, and I like having a dressing-room type experience and keeping my clothes (and mirrors and things) out of the bedroom. I also really hate those wall closets also because they limit furniture arrangements. But it's just personal preference.
If you're not going to close the door to the closet, is it still a big fire hazard thing? I mean then isn't it just more like an alcove that is part of a bigger room that has windows?
I live in a 1 bedroom house with my husband and debate between giving up our dining room for a nursery or using our closet, when the time comes (if we aren't ready to move at that time.)
Holy rotten stereotype. Have you never, ever met a man who liked clothes and had a lot of them? I have, and they need a lot of closet space.
I think the crib in the last photo has a side that swings UP so you tilt it up, lay the baby down, and pull in down and secure it...
My 18 month old is in a pass through walk in closet right now. We always keep one of the doors open because there is no vent or window. A little annoying, but a very simple solution.
I should have taken a picture of one of our closet - NOT a walk-in closet. Took out the sliding doors and put the crib/bed in. Kid slept there until he was 6 (when we graduated to a bigger apartment and he graduated to his own room) He liked to pull the curtains shut (instead of doors). I suppose it was a bit like a fort or cave. - Be careful what you do with your kids in the formative years. He's still a cave-dweller. Now he graduated to our basement apartment.
Keep in mind that in an emergency, responders won't know to look for a person in a closet, which they would obviously do in an actual bedroom.
I would imagine that as long as you kept the door open or removed the door the fire issue wouldn't be as much of a problem.
Honestly, as someone who works internationally, the notion that babies need or should be in a separate room is somewhat bizarre to me. My husband and I have space for a nursery but are planning on future babies spending their first year in a crib or co-sleeper in our (rather large) master, with the slide door closet set up as a changing area or possibly just adding another dresser with a changing pad next to a rocker by the side of our bed.
Why are so many of the comments on this site negative? It's about apartments - and let me tell you if you live in one you get creative with space. Our daughter has a bedroom nook in the "office nook" in our one bedroom - it had no window so we leave the door open. Works fine. She loves it and I'm sure someone would check in a fire.
sheesh people.
My daughter had a room about that size from the time she was born 'til she was 14. It was a great little space. It did have a window. She loved it.
First responders are actually trained (or should be trained) to also check closets and small areas during a fire, especially if they know there are possibly children living in the area. A closet is a very likely place a child to be if they are scared. I agree, it's probably better if there is a window, and leave any doors open too.
i usually love reading through comments--and often feel that an article is incomplete until i have. but at this point half of all AT comments are people nagging about safety. it's exhausting. parents make decisions that suit their lives and their children's personalities. sometimes these comments come across as so needlessly negative, its impossible not to roll my eyes and frankly it's making me less inclined to read any of them at all.
What?!! I love the butterflies! And the mobile in the window. Makes for a really pretty room I would be proud to have my kid sleep in.
Laughing at all the pearl-clutching outrage. When I was born, my parents were so poor they couldn't possibly afford to move, and their bedroom was so small there was no room for a crib. This meant I slept in the only spare space -- the weird L-shaped, tile area that jutted off the bathroom! Didn't kill me.
This is awesome, but how many 'closets' have windows!? lucky
it is ILLEGAL for health, safety, firecode reasons to put sleeping quarters into a windowless room & the minimum size for a sleeping room is 80 sf. only the first sleeping area s/b posted.
I'd say that those are pretty great nurseries! We don't have nurseries here. I slept in a baby basket put in my parents' living room for months, you can't honestly tell me that was more comfortable than those cute places.
As for the fire hazard, I'd say that the parent(s) would rush to their baby in case of emergency, or that the firemen would check every room (because I guess that those places aren't big to begin with) as they are trained to do (at least they do where I live, in case a kid hid somewhere or if someone's unconscious).
People aren't closing their kids into closets. These would legally be an alcove in an existing room.
People should realize that leaving the closet door open may Not be adequate ventilation and try to check somehow.
We almost did a closet nursery in our last place but after I painted the walls, I left the door open and a fan running for Weeks to get the fumes to dissipate to non-stink levels... it was nothing like clearing the air in a normal room. I became worried that stale air might contribute to a SIDS situation.
Our solution was to use the closet as a baby staging/storage area - I decorated it and used it as space for his dresser and changing table, and occasionally sat in there with him when we needed a quiet escape, but he slept out in the master bedroom.
Apparently when many AT readers see these rooms the first thing they think of is fire safety and code compliance. I have two young children and my thoughts were only of how cute and creative these rooms are. Seriously, most of the worlds population would find these "tiny" rooms downright lavish.
I grew up in a house with dirt floors, chickens & dogs wandering in & out of the house at all hours of the day & night, 5 of us sleeping in one bed, some taking turns on the floor, some on the hammock we rigged up with a blanket tied between the bed & the one chair, no dresser for clothes (they were kept in a cardboard box because we only had a few items each & we shared the clothes), no window in the bedroom, bare light bulb hanging from the ceiling, no indoor plumbing.... We would have KILLED for a sweet space like these! All you PATHers ("Pebbles as Tripping Hazards" people) crack me up with your "oh there's no ventilation!" "oh, what about fire hazards?!" "What if the sky falls?!" SHEESH!!! Most of the world's population doesn't have a fraction of what the average North American has & yet somehow they all survive & thrive! I know I did!!!
Not at all impressed - no need to put a baby in danger when you have a bedroom that you can share, even if you don't co-sleep. And for the people saying the parents will rush to the baby in a fire, no they won't if the fire happens at night and they are unconscious from the smoke and fumes! Why on earth would the firefighters check the closet of a 1 bedroom apartment, no doubt they would be very much in a hurry to get all apartment dwellers out in a short space of time.
"Most of the world's population doesn't have a fraction of what the average North American has & yet somehow they all survive & thrive! "
Um, no they don't ALL survive and thrive.... and I think millions of people would choose safety for their children, if that were an option.
Firefighters are trained to check closets because people (not just children) often hide there. Just saying.
I had a friend who lived in a closet under the stairs (a la Harry Potter) until he was 18 when his family moved. He had literally everything in there, including a t.v and gaming system, and a mini fridge. which I never understood because the kitchen was like seven steps outside his door.
I'm starting to work on building a bed into the closet of my bedroom because my room is super small, and I like being in small spaces anyway.
It's ultimately the parents decision, and an infant wouldn't care anyways.
I slept in my parent's closet until I was eight years old. It didn't have any windows, but after seeing a fire-safety presentation at school my parents put up a venetian blind on the wall to make me feel safer!
I keep my baby's dresser and change table in my closet (which happens to have a window due to the architect probably being drunk). I wish I could get him to sleep in a crib...

How to tell if you have prediabetes
Jim Miller is responsible for this content, which is not edited by the Wilson County News or wilsoncountynews.com.

Dear Savvy Senior,
My 62-year-old sister was recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and was surprised when the doctor told her that she's probably had it or prediabetes for many years. My question is what determines prediabetes and how can you know if you have it?
Surprised Senior
Dear Surprised,
Underlying today's growing epidemic of type 2 diabetes is a much larger epidemic called prediabetes, which is when the blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not high enough to be called diabetes.
The National Institutes of Health estimates that as many as 79 million Americans today have prediabetes. Left untreated, it almost always turns into type 2 diabetes within 10 years. And, if you have prediabetes, the long-term damage it can cause -- especially to your heart and circulatory system -- may already be starting.
But the good news is that prediabetes doesn't mean that you're destined for full-blown diabetes. Prediabetes can actually be reversed, and diabetes prevented, by making some simple lifestyle changes like losing weight, exercising, eating a healthy diet, and cutting back on carbohydrates. Or, if you need more help, oral medications may also be an option.
Get Checked?
Because prediabetes typically causes no outward symptoms, most people that have it don't realize it. The only way to know for sure is to get a blood test.
Everyone age 45 years or older should consider getting tested for prediabetes, especially if you are overweight with a body mass index (BMI) above 25. See cdc.gov/bmi to calculate your BMI.
If you are younger than 45 but are overweight, or have high blood pressure, a family history of diabetes, or belong to an ethnic group (Latino, Asian, African, or Native American) at high risk for diabetes, you too should get checked.
To help you determine your risk of diabetes, the American Diabetes Association has a quick, online quiz you can take for free at diabetes.org/are-you-at-risk.
Diabetes Tests
There are several tests your doctor can give you to determine whether you have prediabetes like the "fasting blood glucose test "or the "oral glucose tolerance test," that each require an eight-hour fast before you take it. And the "hemoglobin A1C test," that can be taken any time regardless of when you ate.
If you're reluctant to visit your doctor to get tested, an alternative is to test yourself. To do that, you'll need to purchase an A1C home test kit that measures your average blood glucose over the past two to three months.
The ReliOn A1c Test sold at Walmart (or walmart.com) for $9 is a popular option. With this test kit, you provide a small blood sample (about a drop), and send it to the lab in a postage-paid return mailer for analysis. The results are usually sent back within a week.
A1C tests measure the percentage of glucose in the bloodstream. A reading of 5.7 to 6.4 percent is considered prediabetes, while 6.5 percent or greater is diabetes.
If you find that you are prediabetic or diabetic, you need to see your doctor to develop a plan to get it under control.
For more information on prediabetes and diabetes, visit the American Diabetes Association at diabetes.org, and the National Diabetes Education Program (ndep.nih.gov), which also offers dozens of free publications you can order online or by calling 888-693-6337.

Flamboyant band When Saints Go Machine opened the Orange Stage in 2010 with their electronic, velvety pop. International music media have also taken note of the Copenhagen dandies fronted by the incomparably versatile singer Nikolaj Vonsild in front.
Their impressionistic sound is permeated by a desire to experiment. Yet, the melodies and delicate sway of the hips are never abandoned. And their latest single "Mannequin" demonstrates that the towering ambition is unlikely to be lowered on their new album, Infinity Pool.
When Saints Go Machine continues to win new fans among both audiences and critics. An elegant swan with neatly painted feathers.

Some folks get five, maybe six years of use from batteries in their trucks, tractors, combines and other machinery. Others feel lucky if they get a battery to last three years.
While luck plays a role, proper care and maintenance are sure bets to optimize battery longevity.
A hard life. The worst scenario for a battery is inactivity, but over-activity is almost as bad. That's because batteries "like" being moderately discharged and then recharged, but "dislike" being completely discharged or being used frequently without adequate recharging.
Both extremes of battery abuse are common with farm equipment. Combine, self-propelled sprayer and many four-wheel-drive tractor batteries sit in storage for nine months a year. Any battery filled with electrolyte will naturally slowly discharge over time. That's one reason why battery manufacturers often ship new batteries "dry."
Unless batteries are occasionally recharged during storage they can suffer damage that reduces their lifespan.
At the other extreme of battery abuse are batteries that work frequently but never get a chance to fully recharge. The largest demand on a battery is starting a motor. It takes at least a few minutes, maybe up to a half hour, for a machine's alternator to fully recharge a battery. Depending on the alternator's capacity and how discharged the battery is, a battery can slowly lose charge if a machine is frequently started but not allowed to run long between start-ups.
Batteries in ATVs and utility vehicles are prime examples.
Add corroded battery terminals and sketchy wiring insulation that decreases the ability of the alternator to recharge the battery, and the battery dies a slow death even though the machine gets frequent use.
Sluggish performance. Modern electrical add-ons frequently found in tractor cabs can tax the electrical systems on older tractors. Older machines that are equipped with lots of spray monitors, seed monitors, row guidance and other electronic wizardry, might not have an alternator large enough to power all the extra components.
If the alternator can't meet electrical demands, the battery makes up the deficit until tractor headlights or electrical systems slowly fade or shut off as the battery drains.
Cold temperatures put a double-whammy on batteries by congealing engine, transmission and gearcase oils, which increases battery loads during starts. The best way to start engines in cold weather is to use an engine block heater that keeps engine oil warm and free-flowing.
There is no such thing as a truly maintenance-free battery. Any battery with caps or check plugs should have the electrolyte level checked regularly. Electrolyte should be topped off as needed to keep fluid to the bottom of the slot in the tube below each cap or plug when necessary. Never add battery acid; add only distilled water.
Handle with care. Even if a battery doesn't have caps or plugs to check electrolyte levels, a few maintenance steps can improve battery longevity.
Remove battery cable clamps from batteries at least once a year to check for good contact between the outside of battery posts and the inside of battery cable clamps/connectors. Use a battery post cleaning tool to remove corrosion and expose bare metal on the outside of battery posts and the inside of cable clamps.
Good metal-to-metal contact between battery posts and cable clamps ensures maximum conductance to start engines and allows the alternator to feed power back into the battery.

What is the purpose of religion?
Throughout the history of man, religion has been present. Religious beliefs have affected everything from personal ethics to national politics. It has been an integral part of many societies in our past and present. However the question remains:
What is the purpose of religion?
Religion has been presented to explain unknown intellectual problems (Comte, Tylor), to explain strong and abstract emotional feelings (Marett, Malinowski, Freud), to oppress social groups (Marx), to connect society (Durkheim), to explain arbitrary suffering (Weber), etc.
Many other purposes for religion have been theorized but no universal answer has been found.
Will a single answer ever be found? Is there only one answer?
Possible answers, further questions or any comments are welcome!

Ehis Odijie 10+
Sep 14 2012: "Spirituality" well let me call it the search for transcendence does not need to involve supernatural beliefs.
You have a very different idea of religion and atheism to me Ehis.
To me atheism is just a lack of belief in gods and goddesses. Atheism is a position on a single question do you believe in gods. It is not a way of life, no dogma, no defined moral code.
Maybe someone start a religion that does not believe in gods, like Buddhism, but not believing in gods is not a religion.
I'm a sceptic first. I'm sceptical of supernatural claims whether part of organised religion, cults, personal spirituality, alien abductions, astrology etc. Atheism is a by product of my scepticism.
I guess not believing in gods may inform your views on other issues, but there is no dogmatic position. An atheist may not believe in gods but may believe in eternal human spirits, life after death, crystal healing, be anti gay marriage and anti reproductive rights, or for the rights of a women to choose if she lets a baby grow inside her body.
Now religion is very diverse, and perhaps the edges are blurry. When does a cult become a religion for instance. But I suggest a position on a single question is not a religion.
I'm also not sure if world views that lack belief in the supernatural or aliens etc qualify as religion. I would not call a materialist world view a religion. I would not call science a religion. In fact you can generally accept science as our best guess and still believe in some supernatural deities or a spiritual realm.
Sep 12 2012: Least religious? Those countries call themselves secular but that doesn't mean that religion hasn't evolved into something different in those countries (cult of celebrity, the worship of money, etc.). Possibly they have just found a way to use religious needs in a more beneficial way for the state?
"Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature and the opium of the people." Karl Marx
I'm not saying I agree with this act ethically, but its plausible.
Sep 13 2012: Hi Jake,
I suggest the human mind that has evolved a certain way. Our human cultures and society have evolved to what that are today. Our scientific understanding has developed to what it is today.
I suggest sometimes religion and its practice just reflects our basic needs and wiring.
Needs: such as a search for meaning, fear of death, understanding our origins, managing societies etc.
Wiring: assumption of agency, heirachy, hallucinations, imaginary friends, confirmation bias, credulous as children, tribalism etc. We are all susceptible to music and ritual whether the context is religious or not.
Religion is just one tool for dealing with these issues and just one aspect of our lives that uses the various cognitive and social mechanisms.
Other parts of human culture may be more primarily driven by religion e.g. Theological studies etc.
I tend to see religion as a result of what we are as humans more than a cause of what we are.
I guess you can look at it both ways. How are various behaviours and cultural mechanisms "religious". Or how does religion leverage our basic human psychology, cognition, and social dynamics.
I don't see the quest to understand how I got here as an essential religious question.
I don't see social ethics and values as an essentially religious challenge.
I don't heirachy and celebrity and cult worship as essentially religious
I don't see trancedent experiences or imaginary friends as essentially religious
Religion is just one way of looking at these.
I suggest you might have it all round the wrong way.
People have world views. People have needs and wants. People have loves and fears. People have questions. Societies need laws. Some things increase suffering. Others reduce suffering or even add joy.
These are not religious needs. They are human needs.
We don't need religion to deal with them all. Religion is just one way to address human needs and society etc.
Sep 13 2012: You are right that religion or similar superstituous traditions is a broad category.
I guess Japanese culture is infused with Shinto and Buddhism rather than Abrahamic gods.
However, I suggest the Japanese see themselves as non religious.
My understanding:
About 70% of Japanese profess no religious membership, according to Johnstone (1993:323), 84% of the Japanese claim no personal religion
In census questionnaires, less than 15% reported any formal religious affiliation by 2000. According to Edwin Reischauer, and Marius Jansen, some 70–80% of the Japanese regularly tell pollsters they do not consider themselves believers in any religion.
Maybe half might nominally believe in some god concept or have some Buddhist viewpoints - according to Demerath (2001), 41% do not believe in God, and 55% do not believe in Buddha.
Having been there and having many Japanese friends I didn't get a sense that their society hinges on religious dogma and traditions.
On the scale of being a religious country to a non religious one, Japan and much of North West Europe are the least religious. The US is an anomaly.
So I think my point stands, and if I may refine it slightly - that countries where religion is not a dominant social force, where most people define themselves as non religious seem to do just fine if they have rule or law etc and the other non religious institutions that support quality of life.
Sep 13 2012: @Obey, to summarize you think religion is a means for an end? The end in this instance being answers? Religion is far more complex than that. Faith can give identity, purpose and worldview. Religion is not an out-of-date media for answers. It evolves as we evolve. To restate Ehis' question, what is your definition of religion?
Sep 13 2012: I agree religion and religious beliefs can relate to identity, purpose, worldviews, moral frameworks.
I'm just saying you can have all these without religion, without basing them on religious beliefs.
If you think would views, morality, identity must always be religious, I disagree.
Religion is hard to pin down. I don't think it has clear cut boundaries.
Most dictionary and wiki definitions are on the right track. Most religions are a subset of supernatural spiritual belief systems, the shared ones typically with dogma. Most started as cults but have become established over time and less reliant on one living person.
Possibly involving belief and worship of supernatural beings, but I'd also include Buddhism. Typically with a supernatural view of reality, eternal spirits, afterlife, a divine order. Maybe creation stories or scriptures or moral doctrines. They may involve human organsation, heirachies, ritual etc.
Some belief systems are a bit tricky. I don't know enough about Confucianism to determine if I would call it a religion. Scientology, is probably transitioned from cult to religion. Animism, shamanism are related too.
Chess club, science, and atheism are not religions.
I agree religion is diverse and evolves but it is not part of my identity or world view. My moral framework is not based on religion. My life has purpose even though finite and I evolved.
While we are surrounded by religions and religious beliefs and related supernatural belief systems - new age, astrology etc, you can live a life that is based on secular foundations.
I think you are stretching religion too far to say a fixation on money or Madonna is a religion.
My life is just fine without religion.
Also, religion can play a part in peoples life and still be false in terms of the claims,
Sep 13 2012: Jake, maybe I can put it this way:
Imagine all the religions have their own languages. Some also have languages that are not religious. Our ability to speak is independent of whether we chose or are indoctrinated with a religious or non religious language.
Our ability to "speak", to develop moral systems, to develop world views, to attribute meaning to our lives is independent of religion. They can be infused with religion or devoid of it.
I think you are mixing up the processes and capability with inputs and outputs.
I don't need religion in my world view. I don't need religion to understand the universe and my place in it as best I can. I don't need religion to develop a moral framework. I don't need religion to face death. I don't need to have an imaginary friend to get through life or a divine policeman to define and pursue what I consider a good life. I don't need eternal life in order for a finite life to have meaning. I don't need religion to belong to a community, to be a citizen, to contribute. I don't need religion Etc. I'm comfortable not having all the answers rather than making up unverifiable ones.

The New Yorker and The Atlantic still do terrific work.
Enjoy the pat on the head, guys. It might help you forget that you are abandoning any semblance of journalistic objectivity by preening the way you are. I'm just glad that there are other media outlets that realize they need to hold the president's feet to the fire, not desperately seek his approval.

XO Cognacs - Napoléon
A Napoleon, or X.O (for Extra Old ), also called Hors d'âge, is a cognac which youngest eau-de-vie is at least six and a half years old.
A Cognac may be sold only when its youngest eau-de-vie reaches a minimum of two and a half years old, as of the first day of October following the harvest of the grapes.
Only the years of storage in oak barrels count to determine its age. Once transferred into glass, Cognac stops maturing. It stands still.
However, most Cognac houses will use Cognacs much older than those required by law, allowing X.Os to reach a minimum of twenty years old, in order to reveal their very best.
XO is perhaps one of the vaguest classifications regarding quality, and should't be taken at face value without further search. Some of the XOs you can find in our site are certainly under-priced, while some others, which, of course, you will NOT find here at Le Cognac, may be quite mediocre . In fact, selecting Cognacs with a reasonably quality/price ratios is one of our raisons d'être.
On the other hand, regarding Cognac, beyond a certain level of quality one enters into the realm of subjectivity. And then, of course, there is always a premium in rarity. When a product is scarce, if demand remains strong, it is only natural that prices go up. This is exactly what we have been seeing with high-end Cognac prices in the last few years because of the huge Chinese demand.
As a rule, we would say that the XOs present at Le Cognac are all good value in general market terms. Some of them are indeed very good value.

"We have the ability to provide clean water for every man, woman and child on
the Earth. What has been lacking is the collective will to accomplish this. What
are we waiting for? This the commitment we need to make to the world, now."
Jean-Michel Cousteau

That perches in the soul,

And never stops at all.

You still haunt my dreams, and I think I finally realized that it's because you still are my dream. You probably always will be.
For real doe.
Not sure I even believe anymore
That awkward moment when somebody calls you "Peanut."
You have been my weaknes the moment I saw you
I have to say as of late I've had little to no luck in the man department. Its not lack of a man per say, but more lack of a man I want. Today this guy I've hung with and enjoyed a good time with called and wanted to see me. At first I was excited, of course who wouldn't want to be wanted?? But as the conversation went on I felt nothing. Not a tingle, a goose bump or flutter. In that moment I realized I don't want a casual encounter or a quick tryst. I want the butterflies. I want to go to sleep with romance in the air and wake up snuggling some one I care about. Is this to much to ask I wonder??
Just once I want to feel like Cinderella or Snow White and be whisked away by my prince. Damn all those fairy tales! I believe they ruin girls. When you get older people say you can't have your prince and your castle but damn it I want both.
So here it is, my call to "true" love.
Dear my prince,
Im still waiting.
Impatiently yours
You're welcome!!

"Real Housewife of Atlanta" cast member Kandi Burruss sat in the hot seat with Michelle Solgan, a housewife from South Orange, N.J. but ultimately was not much help.
Solgan took home $25,000, a respectable figure. (Burruss was not there to win any cash. She was only there to give Solgan suggestions if necessary.)
The segment was split over two days, airing in Atlanta 9:30 a.m. yesterday and today on WATL-TV.
On day one, the game show began with a clip of Kandi fighting with NeNe. Proof that host Meredith Viera does NOT follow the show, she mistook NeNe for Kim.
Michelle rolled through the first five questions without Kandi's help and reached $5,000 painlessly. The looked to Kandi briefly for one question, but Kandi had no idea that Jewish folks dance the "hora."
The next question for $7,000 was about fashion:
"Texas native Tom Ford established what Italian label as a top luxury brand after becoming its creative director in 1994."
Kandi, though she owns a boutique, was a complete blank. Michelle had no problem with it, answering "Gucci" without hesitation.
The $10,000 question came from Gina of "The Real Housewives of Orange County." "I once showed off my legs for a group of sharp-dressed men in a music video for what rock band?" A. Motley Crue B. ZZ Top C. Whitesnake D. BonJovi. Michelle did not need Kandi for this one and answered ZZ Top immediately.
That ended day one.
On day two, Solgan breezed through two more questions without Kandi's help before hitting a roadblock at $25,000. The questions started getting much more difficult.
'Mister Rogers' – "Most of the cardigan sweaters worn by Mister Rogers on his beloved kids' show were hand-knitted by whom? A: His wife, B: His mother, C: His sister, D: His aunt."
They had no idea. The audience split it 36% his wife, 43% his mom, 9% his sister and 12% his aunt. They then did double dip. They tried his wife. Wrong. They went to his mom. That was the correct answer.
So two lifelines were gone. The $50,000 question was also really obscure.
"The word "thug" was originally used to refer to a member of a band of assassins once active in what country? A: Turkey, B: Mongolia, C: Egypt, D: India."
Again, both Kandi and Michelle were stumped. Kandi thought Turkey but had no real knowledge. So they called on the "expert," which was Andy Cohen, who hosts those reunion shows on Bravo. He had no real clue either and guessed Turkey, too. Since Michelle was guaranteed $25,000, she decided to go with Turkey. Wrong. It was actually India.
Earlier on Wednesday, Ramona Singer from "Real Housewives of New York" couldn't help her contestant Angela when the question was about the song Kandi co-wrote which won a Grammy. Kandi had just told her the answer in the green room but Ramona didn't retain the information. They had to use two lifelines to get the answer, courtesy of the audience (37% got it right there) and Andy from Bravo, who knew the answer for sure. (Angela bowed out at $10,000.)
Kandi told me she laughed when she watched Ramona during this question.

Van Halen has officially announced plans to return to the road in 2013. Pollstar reports that the rockers have begun rescheduling concerts in Japan that they originally intended to play in late November before guitarist Eddie Van Halen 's August colon surgery sidelined the group.
According to Japanese concert promoter Udo, three Van Halen dates have been confirmed -- a June 21 show in Tokyo and performances on June 24 and 26 in Osaka.
In a new message posted on Van Halen's official website , Eddie thanks fans for "the overwhelming support and all of your cool comments." He adds, "Hanging out, taking it easy and feeling better every day. Can't wait to see you all in 2013!"

A Message from Our Chief
Each August San Jacinto College welcomes a new assortment of students. Some recently graduated from high school are beginning their studies towards a Bachelor's degree from a four year institution of higher education. Others are pursuing education and training in technical fields that will lead to certification and employment in their selected career path. Some are looking to change their career with new skills and education. And in some cases, they are high school students looking to complete their basic education and a little more. Whatever your goals, the San Jacinto College Police Department is here to provide you with a safe and secure environment to follow your educational choices.
San Jacinto College is comprised of highly educated faculty and a strong professional staff that support the mission of the College. The police department is no exception. The police officers and telecommunications personnel meet the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement Officer Standards and Education (TCLEOSE) requirements for licensing peace officers and telecommunicators and many carry higher levels of certification. The College is very selective in hiring police officers to work on the three San Jacinto College campuses. Our police officers also reflect the community they serve. Many have years of varied law enforcement experience and others are first time police officers developing a strong sense of community service. In either case, they provide a high level of caring professional service to the San Jacinto College community.
During this Academic year, the police department is adding video surveillance of parking areas at the three campuses and the district office to enhance safety and provide documentation of activity occurring in the public spaces of the College. This new tool will be both a deterrent to criminal activity and a tool for investigating crimes that may occur. The new camera system will complement the blue light emergency phones and the emergency telephones in all College elevators that ring to the San Jacinto College police communications center. The communications center is staffed twenty four hours a day, seven days a week with highly trained telecommunicators who coordinate the flow of information for services between the members of the community and the police personnel out on the campuses.
Although the College provides a well-staffed, trained and professional police department to keepthe campuses safe, your safety and security at the College begins with you. Please be aware of the activity around you and contact the San Jacinto College police department if you are concerned about your safety or an unsafe condition by calling 5555 from any College phone, using a blue light emergency or elevator phone or calling 281-476-9128 from your cell phone. True safety on campus is a partnership between you and us.
Chief of Police
William Taylor
8060 Spencer Highway, Pasadena, Texas 77505

Gold, silver swing back from early highs
Prices settle modestly higher after an electric morning rally sent silver soaring near its all-time high of $50 an ounce.
By Alix Steel, TheStreet
Gold and silver prices notched modest gains as a recovering U.S. dollar capped early highs.
Gold for June delivery added $5.30 to settle at $1,509.10 an ounce -- after hitting a record $1,519.20 -- at the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange. The spot gold price was up $3.20, according to Kitco's gold index.
Silver prices roared out of the gate Monday, nearly conquering their record high of $50 an ounce, adding as much as $3.03 to $49.10 an ounce. The 6% daily move was sizable even for silver, and the metal pared some of those early gains to settle up $1.09 at $47.15 an ounce.
Many analysts are calling for a correction or even a sell-off in silver. Scott Redler, the chief strategic officer at T3Live.com, started shorting silver last week: "I am still net short, and I am getting hurt into this parabolic move. . . . Do not get excited and buy into silver."
Redler trades the iShares Silver Trust (SLV), which added 106 tons last week as investor demand ballooned.
"The first time around is always great to get short, because you can stop yourself out," says Mihir Dange, a trader at Arbitrage. "I am looking for a pullback before silver attempts to make another high."
A weaker U.S. dollar has been fueling the recent rally in precious metals. The U.S dollar index was 0.1% lower at $74.05, recovering from a deeper sell-off Monday morning that added to volatility in the metals. Low volume was also exaggerating price swings, as the London market was closed.
The dollar has been suffering recently as investors worry that the U.S. government won't be able to control rising debt and that the currency will continue to lose value.
The dollar's recent slide has also prompted China to hint that it may diversify its reserve holdings away from the dollar. According to the state-owned newspaper Xinhuanet.com, the chairman of China Everbright Group, Tang Shuangning, said, "The amount of foreign exchange reserves should be restricted to between $800 billion to $1.3 trillion U.S. dollars." As of February 2011, China lent $1.2 trillion to the U.S. alone.
If China reduced its foreign exchange reserves, gold and silver would be leading candidates to take their place.
The dollar will also take its cue from Fed chairman Ben Bernanke's press conference Wednesday after the Federal Reserve's two-day FOMC meeting. No policy change is expected, but investors will look for signs as to how the Fed plans to exit its easy-money policy when its second round of quantitative easing winds down in June.
Imaru Casanova, an equity research analyst at MLV & Co., says that even if the Fed's loose-money policy ends, it won't necessarily mean a crash in the metals. "Eventually we are going to see higher inflation," Casanova says.
Casanova recommends buying gold and silver on weakness, saying that gold could still see a $30 sell-off but that the real value is in gold stocks. The sector hasn't lived up to its 2-to-1 leverage promise, but if gold miners report higher cash flow and better earnings this season, "the market should react to that. . . . (The) stocks aren't looking that expensive."
Gold mining stocks, a risky but potentially profitable way to buy gold, were mostly lower Monday.
Barrick Gold (ABX) was tumbling 6.1% to $52.25 after the company announced its intent to buy Equinox for 8.15 Canadian dollars a share, an 8% premium based on Thursday's closing price on the Toronto exchange. Barrick was the last big gold miner to resist making an acquisition and had $4 billion in cash at the end of the fourth quarter. The company will report earnings Wednesday.
Equinox will give Barrick 100% ownership of the Lumwana copper mine in Zambia and the developing Jabal Sayid copper-gold project in Saudi Arabia. The Lumwana mine has measured, indicated and inferred resources of 905.6 million tons of copper.
Barrick plans to produce between 7.6 million and 8 million ounces of gold in 2011 at cash costs of $450-$480 an ounce. More impressively, CEO Aaron Regent wants Barrick to produce 9 million ounces of gold in the next 5 years.
The bigger a miner gets, the harder it is to grow, but Lumwana's massive copper reserves will make it cheaper to produce an ounce of gold, using the copper sales to offset the cost. The acquisition also expands its gold concentrates with the Jabal Sayid project.
Jim Cramer reacted to the deal on RealMoney.com, maintaining that Barrick Gold is still a blue-chip gold stock. "I don't care that Barrick diversified heavily into some copper with the Equinox bid," Cramer said.
Other gold stocks were also struggling. Newmont Mining (NEM) was down 1.9% at $58.08, while Randgold Resources (GOLD) was losing 2.3% at $85.23.

APPLETON, WI (WTAQ) - The first female president in Lawrence University's history announced Thursday she plans to retire.
Jill Beck says she'll retire in June 2013 after nine years as president of the Appleton college.
"I think much has been accomplished over the past eight years," said Beck. "Certainly I see a campus physically transformed, a faculty that has grown in number and a student body that is more diverse. There have been enhancements to the curriculum including Senior Experience, dance studies and the expansion of the film studies program with a focus on film production. There are greatly increased opportunities for student internships and research experiences to support our students' transition from Lawrence into their future lives."
The university also raised more than $160 million during a recent fundraising campaign.
Beck says she will focus on further expansion during the next year and a half, including transforming the former Downer Commons into a center for film studies and offices for admissions, career services and alumni relations.
Lawrence's board of trustees has begun the search for a new president.

Injury Facts
Musculoskeletal Injuries
What's the difference?
Here are some facts you should know on musculoskeletal injuries:
Sprain- a stretch and/or tear of a ligament, the tissue connecting two bones. Ligaments stabilize and support the body's joints. For example, ligaments in the knee connect the upper leg with the lower leg, enabling people to walk and run.
Strains- a twist, pull and/or tear of a muscle and/or tendon. Tendons are cords of tissue that connect muscles to bones.
Breaks- fracture, splinter or complete break in bone, often caused by accidents, sports injuries or bone weakness.
More than one in four Americans has a musculoskeletal condition that needs medical attention. If you are one of them and don't have a doctor, call 1-844-907-8000. If you need emergency care, visit the St. Mary's of Michigan Towne Centre Emergency Center just off I-675 near Fashion Square Mall.
