Good Questions: What Level to Hang Pictures?
Hello AT,
I'm trying to hang pictures on my wall. My ceilings are 10 feet 6 inches. I have 14 inches of ceiling moldings and wall, then 4 inches of crown molding, then its 100 inches to the baseboard and 8 inches of baseboard. I have panel moldings at 10 inches below the crown molding and 10 inches up from the top of the baseboard.
At what level should I hang the pictures? I heard someone say "54 inches", but from what? From both floor and ceiling, it looks really low. Is there a rule about where they should hang within the panel moldings?
thanks, Alex
Our rule of thumb is to hang all pictures at 57" on center. This is "gallery height" and roughly the average human eye level.
To do this you measure up 57" from the floor (mark here). You want your picture's center - whatever size - over this point, so measure your picture - top to bottom, divide it in half, ...
subtract whatever distance there is between wire and top of frame and then add that number to your 57". That is where you put the pin in.
As far as panel mouldings go, we would just use these to center pictures left to right. As far as 57" on center looking low, everyone hangs their pictures too high, so it seems odd at first. Don't worry, it's correct. (Thanks, Alex!) MGR

Recently purchased an apartment in a great 1950's
building on LES. Walls are some sort of plaster/concrete (?).
Any suggestions on hanging artwork so the walls aren't
Perhaps some sort of traditional picture rail at the point where the ceiling meets the walls, and artwork is hung from the rails by chains or cording (or, as an update, monofilament?) It was a big Southern mansion thing, and usually integrated right into the building's construction.
Or one of the many variations of the picture ledge, offered by Room & Board or Pottery Barn and others? You still need to wallmount, but it allows greater flexibility and relieves the pressure to get the (one) hole right the very first time!
Also, regarding the idea of hanging at eye level, keep in mind that in many rooms, "eye level" is usually from a seated vantage point... be it dining room chair or (even lower) living room sofa. But MGR is right that most people hang stuff way too high.
Hang them where they look good. Alternatively, hang them to maximum use of space. There are a number of good books on maximizing use of space in small houses/apartments. You can even hang small pictures in open spaces in a shelving system. Use of formulas and decorating creativity are mutually exclusive.
Ah but a lot of people like to hang work so that the centres align. However others prefer it if the tops align.
What do you prefer? Or does it all depend on the size of your works.
I would always go with the centers aligning as that will give every image the best, most natural relationship to one another as you look around the room. This is important. also, hard lines - as in aligning tops or bottoms - can be jarring visually. they work best when sitting on a ledge or rail, but not when hung.... M
Thanks for the answer, guys. I'm doing the math again and hanging my new "affordable art" on Friday!
That may be firebrick with a plaster skim coat, which is what I have.
Any decent hardware store has a set of picture nails for concrete. They are like normal ones but have a plastic or sometimes metal anchor, into which go screws that hold the picture support. You need that because if you put too much weight on the normal picture nail, the firebrick basically crumbles and the whole thing falls out, usually leaving a big gaping cone of space and a lot of dust.
You will need a masonry drill bit to drill the holes for the anchors. I think they are red tipped.
Obviously, measure about five times and use your friend for a trial run. Mistakes look really, really bad.
I'm renting an apartment in an old building (I'm living in Paris for a few years) and while the ceilings are really high, there are existing nails in most of the old plaster walls. The walls are not painted white, but khaki, so I can't just take out the old nails.
I want to hang my pictures at a more appropriate height, which has thus far meant dropping them with string from the higher nails. This makes all of my pictures appear to have antennae... Is there a fancy way to disguise this with bows or ribbons or something?
Sometimes it's just one nail, so it looks like this:
o - nail
| - string
| |
But other times there are two nails where one picture should go, so I end up with the string in a V shape instead of just a straight drop. It's better than high pictures, but not by much!
Any help would be appreciated.
How nice to be in Paris for a few years!
Ribbons are a good solution, but I suggest using them not as a straight drop but attached to the eyehooks on the back side of the frame so they form a triangle. You don't say what sort of style you are using. If it is more decorative you can make simple bows with the ends trailing down the center. If the picture is heavy, you may want to hang it with wire underneath the ribbon so it doesn't pull.
If your decor is modern, use more hard-edge materials rather than ribbon - such as chain, rawhide or wire bent to the right dimensions. If the decor is more whimsical, you might make the colors playful and use imaginative materials rather than plain ribbon.
In the case of the double nails, good for hanging things like mirrors, if you don't need the strength or don't like the trapezoid shape they form with the ribbon, you might consider: 1) leaving the extra nail for future use by simply painting it the same shade as the wall behind it with artist paints, or 2) driving the nail farther into the wall and then painting over it.
For the picture on wall, the better hanging level of picture is the door height. Top edge of all pictures shuld be at same height and that shuld be the top of door height. but door height should not be more if height is more than seven feet, 7 feet height for pictures.
I have 2 problems 1 I have a spiral staircase, castle style. how do you hang pic. going up. it has 3 long windows as you go up. 2 do you center a large wall mirror in a bathroom with door closed or open. should the mirror be center if door is closed or as door is open with less wall exposed.? thank you Andrea Austin
this doesn't make sense. you're saying that the center of the picture has to be at 4 3/4 feet off the ground? isn't that way too low?
I am hanging some small pictures size 9inches by 14 inches along the wall of the stairs. I want to know how many pictures that size can be hanged along the wall aand the distance between the pictures. The total distance of the wall is 10-12feet .
With respect, I'm using my eye level-- the artwork is for me. Let the others use a chair.
lorna: hope this doesn't find you too late: prototype. Cut art paper in the size (and probably the color) of your frames and try out a couple different scenarios using tape. Live with 'em for a couple days. You'll know soon enough what is right for you.
it's supposed to be 5' 7" which is 67".
all these AT readers have been hanging their art ridiculously low for the past 4 years.

Vote to condemn Rahm Emanuel on the city budget
Open discussion on where Occupy Chicago should go from here
Committee Announcements
Call for Assistance
Then Cupcakes!
Occupy Southside
On Tuesday we took city hall, they knew we were here but they all choose not to listen this time. We were at city hall because the mental health clinics that are used by 1000s of people in Chicago are being sold. Rahm Emanuel knows the people are dying of health mental ailments. And the city is tying to privatize 7 of the clinics. We made a huge success on Tuesday because we united 100s of Chicagoans who are tired of being abused. On Monday we will have a meeting at 530 pm at 6146 s. ?gangwood? to plan our next action. But before I leave I want to remind everyone that channel five is giving Rahm Emanuel a chance to tell Rham Emanuel what a great guy he is to all of America. I am saying to you FIGHT BACK channel five tell all your family and friends because Rahm Emanuel is going to break Chicago.
- I am a CTA bus driver. I am a proud member of my union I do important work in this city. I am proud to work with amazing people. The public transit workers of Chicago, each one of us, are leaders on families and communities. Thousands of unions and workers work 365 days a year 24 hours a day, we work very hard and do our jobs well. If we did not do this the city stops. Chicago transit workers have been under attack. We are here with our allies so that further attacks against us will be met by our organized resistance. We are not alone. Workers in the Chicago region and other workers around the world are under attack as well and under blame. There are many opportunities to resist. These encampments are not just college kids who will leave during summer but working people who are here to stay. If we are to move forward social movements like this one, we must look to the social power of the working people. We must enlist the discipline, the leadership, the legitimate authority of workers. We are gaining confidence and gaining power using it to benefit our movements. Workers, we must be unafraid to lead our communities to mass action like this one. Through struggle we will become confident enough to run things our selves.
- We are sick and tired of the 1% trying to rob and destroy our public schools. Next month Rahm Emanuel will announce a public school hit list of over 100 schools that he wants to close down. (hiss) We will be conspiracy teachers. The teachers that work hours in these communities inspiring children every day they will be jobless does Rham Emanuel care? (Shouts: no) Does Rahm Emanuel care about kids of Chicago? (Shouts: no) Rahm Emanuel's kids go to privet schools that cost 20000 per year. They get music and art and small class sizes. Our kids deserve the same as Rahm Emanuel's kids. We will not stop marching until all kids of Chicago receive the same resources as Rahm Emanuel's kids. I have a question for you when the 1% tries to privatize schools will you stand up? (Shouts: yes) I have 1 more question at the public school closures when the parents and teachers are pouring their hearts out will you speak up? (Shouts: yes) Whose schools? (Our Schools) Whose jobs? (Our jobs) Whose city? (Our City)
[The following speaker spoke in Spanish and was translated phrase by phrase to the GA.]
My name is ??
I've been striking for 5 years and 8 months. And I'm here because I believe in 99%. We need to organize. We're going to show the bankers whose got the force. We need your support to march to congress hotel. In today's newspapers they should say they're taking our jobs si say puede? (Chants: Si say Puede)
Hello Chicago
I'm here to speak about the undocumented. We have been criminalized. When we take jobs, they say we steal them. Where we live, they say we ruin neighborhoods. We wouldn't be here if it were not for economic warfare going down in Chili, the wars in Mexico. There is a history to this and we refuse to be quiet. We are here and we're not going anywhere. They deported over 400000 people. Families were separated. People put in private detention centers and others left to die, this is unacceptable. We are 99%. We have to stand with them because they are in the shadows but they wont be quiet any more we did it in 2006 and well do it again. We are unafraid and unapologetic.
- Occupy el barrio has already taken 18th and blue line? We want everyone to come.
Moderator: How y'all doing this night? This is a shining beacon of hope. A beacon of resistance, a beacon of solidarity, a beacon of saying no more. What you are saying is no more! No more cuts, no more violence, no more police oppression. We are going to start GA in five minutes stick around figure out what democracy looks like.
Occupy Chicago welcome to Thompson center! they let us in this time!
Alright welcome to GA at Thompson center
Hand explanations.
On the agenda is an actual vote that vote is on whether Occupy Chicago condemns Mayor Rahm Emanuel budget and all the cuts in it.
Condemning Mayor Rahm Emanuel's Budget - PASSED (0 opposed)
Dennis -this proposal will be read then you can speak. If you want to speak line up behind my friend Kelvin.
[Important news report!] Occupy Chicago I have news for you 32,500 people are marching on Wall Street right now! That estimate is from NYPD! That means it's probably double. Friggin yea.
Rahm Emanuel budget is going to hurt the people of Chicago. We oppose the people of Chicago being hurt. I work in cook county emergency room as a nurse. Yesterday there were 15 people waiting to go to mental hospital because they were having suicidal thoughts. Usually only there are only 3 or 4 in this situation, but because they want to cut these clinics there will be more people who want to. People are depressed because of this economy and this just makes it worse. This going to destroy the city this proposal is very simple we Occupy Chicago stand against Rahm Emanuel and all 50 alderman who voted to cut these services. We will do everything within our powers to fight these cuts and this Budget.
- I just want to say I was part of the sit in and I'm very much opposed of the resolution of these budget cuts. Rahm Emanuel ought to be ashamed and I'm very sorry that we voted their behinds in there. that's nice and I shouldn't be nice but I gotta keep it clean and if they think they can blow on us and well just go away they mistaken. In the end they're gonna need some mental help.
- Hello everybody. I want to tell you something I love everybody and believe me I've been through but together... [note taker could not clearly hear what the speaker said]
- Hello Occupy Chicago I just want to say. we got real tired on there on the fifth floor next to Rahm Emanuels office. But every time we got tired more of you kept coming, that's what we need for this movement to keep going. We need to show the rich and powerful that we are not going to let them close clinics, and Libraries and we will not sit back and watch alderman sell us out. I 100% support this proposal because Occupy Chicago and the social movement its part of is more powerful than Rham Emanuel than all 50 alderman we beat back his budget. Hell yea
- Kelly: Listening to people talk about how they need their clinics. I heard a couple people descried how these clinics saved their lives. They said if closed they will die are we going to let them die. [Shouts: no!] That's what I thought. This budget is anti poor and it is racist. 80% of the jobs being cut belong to black and Latino people. This budget divides this city and we won't take it. This city is already segregated. They think now they can divide us in new way. They can tell us it's the unions and the rest of us in the 99% should point to unions and what do we think? No.
- This vote tonight is not just sticking hands in the air it's abut getting in the fight and staying in fight. It's about saying we know who our real enemy is and make them pay. For the services and the jobs and the decent lives we deserve.
- I want to know why their salaries were not negotiated for budget cuts. if they are public services that thousands of dollars does not include pension and other services I suggest that we bring attention to how much money they make and take away from us.
- Good evening occupy I want to talk about money policy in 1913 at factual reserve income tax goes to [GA signs "Off Topic," some discussion]
Audit the fed, end fascism.
Moderator: There is a soap box section where anyone can get the mike. Right now we are discussing the proposal to condemn Rahm Emanuel's budget
- Occupy Chicago nice to see you all if the democratic party is engaged in imposing austerity budgets on cities democratic party is leading class war on working people in this counties. Coast to coast, line to line police are attacking us because of the democratic party. before we talk to Rahm Emanuel we need to clear this up. this has been going on too long.
- Drop all the charges on those arrested in October. Before we'll even talk about anything
- Democratic party are not lesser or two evils they are greater. They lie to us and we need a new party by the workers for the workers.
- Rico from Occupy the South Side: We think this is the budget of 1%. They are cutting down 2/3 of the public libraries. As Occupy Chicago and Occupy Southside we must oppose this attack on 99%. Come to next meeting Sat Nov. 19 at 3:30pm to say 99% stands against closing of public resources.
- Hey what's up Occupy Chicago! I have a very serious issue about budget, price of a city sticker going up. this is bad news for people barely getting by as is. People with two kids and a spouse, working at a minimum wage job the last thing you want to do is pay over 100 for a lousy sticker to put on car. This is garbage and that's why I'm against Rahm Emanuel and his budget.
- These cuts end with us in utter poverty this is a systemic effort to end the social gains our grandparents have fought for, until we have no free time to think until we are nothing but slaves. This is a destruction of freedom through austerity. Are we going to put up with this? [shouts: no] thanks
Moderator: alright its time for a vote. time for democracy!
Voting - PASSED (0 opposed)
1we are the people
2we are united
3the occupation is not leaving
Were going to have a discussion about where we think Occupy Chicago should go from here. Generally. not geographically right now so if you want to speak about where the movement is going stack is right up here.
Emergency announcement: Police are harassing us right now at HQ. All right. The police are harassing our people. But they can't harass all of us we are going to march to Jackson and LaSalle and continue GA there, let's roll out.
[March to LaSalle and Jackson]
Who is pumped up? This is great. We resisted austerity we stood up to Rahm and we spit in his face, metaphorically. We can march but until we affect bottom line of 1% there won't be any change. That's why the Occupy Chicago movement is committed to sustained boycott of bank of America and all other major banks we kick off black Friday. We are going to make the Christmas shopping season nightmare before Christmas for the banks. Organizing widespread boycotts, people are working on a website where it will be shown how much money the banks take out so investors panic and take out money, and more investors panic and more money is taken out. This takes out big banks but not other responsible small banks and credit unions. Banks that provide good secure jobs and safe investments. Instead of parasite big banks that do nothing , that make money by bribing congress and destroying homes. One of these banks is bad the other is good one needs to be destroyed the other saved. Which one do you think it is? It's our money they use to steal our country and freedom.
Black Friday is buy nothing day! Party instead. Close your account on Fri. We'll give you tools to organize boycotts at local banks we'll have that up on the site. thank you,
Moderator: Alright its GA time.
- I have an announcement, about an event that everyone I've told has gotten excited about. This is to protest the cme bill in house. They vote on it on the 29th and unless we stick hot fire up their butts nothing is going to stop it.
- The CME Bill gives $200 million dollars to electronic trading, which has cost Illinois jobs over last 10 yrs. We will have an action called SB 405. We will meet at HQ and there form a single file line, a bread line, dress in raggy cloths if you want, and bring a tin cup. We will march slowly to Quinn's office in the Thompson center and ask for our handout.
Moderator: Ok so, this is the earth, it was time to soap box on specific topic. Where are we going from here? Kelvin takes stack. So line up behind him if you want to speak on people's mic.
- I'm Zac I'm from new Orleans. I've been visiting 8 different occupies so far. I've been thinking about his a lot. And I think for cities like Chicago that don't anymore have an established occupation the best thing to do is a blitzkrieg of action. To have constant little actions that don't require crowds but does require press.
- So I propose that as a long term goal for entire movement we focus on changing our political system if we fix inherent problems in that all issues that many of us care about will become possible to fix once we get money out of our political process. so I prose that our demands should be to prohibit corporate donations to political campaigns furthermore I would like to see direct democracy on a nation level. many states have been doing this through state wide initiative these are not perfect but they are better than relying entire on Representative government.
Moderator: alright i lost my time keep i need a new Timekeeper. its now or never, new timekeeper! [yay!] For those who might be trickling in right now we are discussing where Occupy Chicago and the larger movement should move foreword, in both short and longer terms trying to addressing all the issues we're here for.
- Jeff: I'm from Oakland originally from Chicago: After we were raided, the next week we shut down the port. The plans we're doing now is we try to take over foreclosed home and attempts to do neighborhood assembly's for people who cant come to GA.
- Goal: Last time I marched on Michigan Ave. was three years ago after Obama won. This time though was much different because this time we were not dependent on anyone from the top leading us. This time we know that we can't and won't ever again depend on Rahm Emanuel and these 50 Aldermen.
- what the Occupy movement has stated has changed the politics globally and forever. The 99% has finally woken up and said we will not sit by and take it anymore! Moving forward is symbolized by our march and actions tonight. We need to stand in full solidarity with everyone in this city. We are under attack, we need to reach out to all the 99% in Chicago. we can tap into them and hurt bosses where it matters most.
- Mike: by show of hands how many people know what collateralized debt obligations are? [4 or 5 raised hands] I believe a movement cannot try to influence others if they do not understand the basic reasons why they are here. Show of hands how many people know what [note taker missed this] is? [4 or 5 more] I believe this winter we need to educate ourselves and our communities because when you understand the facts and how we were screwed it will be impossible for people not to come out and show their support.
- Greeting Occupy Chicago! I'm in favor the concept of organizing a third party of organized workers. Something that represents workers and only workers, and is financed by workers. There are three million of us, we can break the strangle hold that the ruling class has on political systems. I'm Mark, if you re interested please come talk to me.
- Patrick: I like to use system against itself. We talk alot about corporations we should not involve our selves with, but its important to remember the capitalists we should involve ourselves with. People who talk about doing research and education, lets look for positive companies we can support. We vote everyday with our dollars take stock of your cloths and fridge and send email to the companies you like make telephone calls tell them what they do well and maybe they'll change something.
- Tory: I'm 100% behind every idea of mobilizing in the neighborhoods blitzkrieg of direct action. I'm using opportunity to tell about occupy south sides next meeting will be in Chicago b library by green line right near IIT. I have flyer's. want to see me ill be over here. Thank you
Larissa: Small suggestion tonight crystal and others spoke about role of Occupy el Barrio. This is not talked about enough! There are many reasons why all Occupy movements should partner and prioritize however in Chicago there is added reasons. Before Occupy and possibly still now the immigration movements have been the biggest social movement going. Its great we have an el barrio and some of us have started translating into Spanish. We nee to work on setting up other structures to intentionally prioritize our immigrant brothers and sisters. This has to happen with more energy and urgency because many people in this city who have a stake in our movement but are not involved for obvious reasons.
Direct response: Organizing immigrant community, there are people in our internal coordination working their butts off making sure that everything is on our calendar every event in all of our neighborhood and every committee and every GA and if you are on a committee pay attention next time you see email from internal coordination to get people out there we need to occupy every street corner and every public hearing and we will survive this winter and keep growing.
- Jeffery: Taking money out of politics does not take money out of conspiracies. does not take money out of conspiracies that killed jfk the conspiracy that killed rfk conspiracy that blew the tail off the plane of JFK Jjr. think about it in new way. Take money out of politics stop paying taxes.
- Tonight we proved we are strong we made name for ourselves as a movement be proud. in 2011 that was a major accomplishment however 2012 is coming and in an election year votes are the currency of the country some here have suggested new party. This is not necessary what is necessary is that we as voters should voice our demands. Voters should be the new biggest buzzword. Everyone in the movement should be registered to vote and should actively register others. We should have big signs with the word voters!
- Kelvin: I think we have created something very special with this Occupy Chicago movement beyond action and elections it's important to think about the kind of society that we are starting to create and the culture we are attempting to change. We need to think about a new world I think the system is screwed, but it will change itself when all the people change their mindsets and realize there is an alternative. Stop looking at each other as people from a certain place, this movement has brought together republicans and democrats and tea partiest, and radical communist. next time you see someone take the time to understand them, not where they are from or what profession they have because to create this society we need to have faith in all the people. current society puts shackles on us, they work us like pigs, to create this new society we need to make this movement committed to making people feel empowered. Everyone do what they think best and when the whole world does what they think best there is nothing anyone not police or military can do to stop them.
- Peter:and I love you all! The 1% have weapons that they use against us more powerful than pepper spray and batons, their biggest weapon is partisanship we need to unite and not divide my speech is short cause I agree with him and he stole thunder.
- My name is not important I stand here as a citizen of united states. I'm the 99%. In 2006 a million people marched in the streets I stood as a citizen myself. A Hispanic community organized a million people who marched for immigrant rights. We need to bring in Hispanic and Latino communities. I just started the Occupy Chicago Latinos page on Facebook. We are focusing on educating others on what is going on. spread the word. We will be translating all post. My name is Gerardo find me with questions.
- Kyle: tonight we spoke about condemning Rahm Emanuel for budget cuts Chicago public libraries. 1/3 of budgets of the libraries have been cut. If was not for libraries I might not be here speaking. I went to a library yesterday, I checked out 'Doom' and I forced Karen to read. The closing of the libraries is unacceptable I am planning to start action against these cuts working with direct action we need to show the city that these cuts are not acceptable. that Chicago public library relies on funding for new books and speakers and workers and many other expenses. for educating for our communities, which is key now more than ever. if you're interested come see me.
Moderator: stack is closed
- Jack: i want to talk about the future. going forward people talk about voting and third parties we have to find more issues. for example the keystone pipeline. good people in labor movement are all for this issue. but most environmentalists don't want the pipeline. this is a lesson in conversation people who want same thing on divergent courses we need to support the people who support what we think is the best but we cannot sacrifice the good for the perfect. keep in mind as we support candidates who may support some but not everything. thank you very much.
- today we talked about moving money from banks. but every one today may have eaten food that has been unethically sourced what to you need to do is garden for yourself. if you're confused how to start get a shoebox but some dirt in it, get some basil or cilantro seeds. water it and soon you will learn the first steps and this seed will be a metaphor for this movement. when your cold or hungry water the seed and think about Chicago Spring and think about your food
- Do not use the previous statement to grow marijuana. peace love and America. that's about it.
Moderator: And with that the discussion is done for now and this GA is done. but the notes and the min will go up because the wonderful beautiful multi-talented Mey is taking notes. The discussion will continue in the streets and in the forums if we continue to grow which we must.
- Secretariat - next meeting Corner Bakery [on Jackson & Michigan] Sunday at 4PM, as secretariats we will discuss administrative stuff and set a schedule for note taking

[yay!]
- Conflict Resolution - Sean: i also dabble in security. there will be joint meetings with security and safety here at HQ we will meet Sat. at 12pm. we will also present at GA. i look forward to working with everyone.

- Social Media - I will not speak on the behalf of the committee but if you have questions i will take them i will be off to the side and be willing to take any questions you have this brings us into next thing
Moderator: Anyone working on a project or on a committee and needs help. if so come up and say that you need help.
ten second wait - 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10. none needed! oh wait, I was wrong.
- in the next few weeks a couple of organizations being part of national campaign to occupy foreclosed homes and put families they have lost their homes into these unused homes. they need help. they need people to hook up electricity and to paint the houses, to take out the trash we need people to talk to their neighbors so they support this. if you are interested in volunteering talk to me afterwards.
- my name is nick. ill make it short in 6 week my punk band will be playing a fundraiser show for occupy Chicago. fun! I'll make further announcements closer to the date.
Moderator: OK typically have an open soapbox but i think we've had enough but that's not my decision it yours! call to end all opposed raise hands. None opposed.

Students at a school in Alpharetta, GA got to talk with a U.S. astronaut in real time via ham radio as he passed over Mill Springs Academy onboard the International Space Station on Wednesday.
Local hams 'reach out and touch someone' around the globe. When Larry Elkin of Rio Rancho was going to college in New York, he picked up a radio transmission astronaut John Glenn sent from orbit around Earth. Now, Elkin is president of the High Desert Amateur Radio Club of New Mexico Inc., a local group that aims to educate people about amateur radio operation and is available to help with emergency communication.
101-year-old Bill Finch (W4EHF, SK) was Senior Games competitor, amateur radio enthusiast. Bill Finch was as charmingly timeless as the hobbies he pursued. He was an amateur radio aficionado well into his 90s and an athlete whose prowess in the Senior Games may well stand the test of time.
Bill seems like someone I'd want to know….Dan

High Heels: Not So Posh?
Could she? Did she? Really? Yep, sassy and stylish celebrity mom Victoria Beckham has been spotted wearing flats—probably due to her recent back problems. Is her mile-high footwear to blame? (Us high-heel loving moms are hoping not!)
The Scoop
No one was surprised when Victoria Beckham (aka Posh Spice) wore her sky-high stilettos to the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton, even if it was only 10 weeks before she gave birth to baby Harper Seven. But when the first photos of post-pregnancy Posh surfaced last week, the fashion world let out a collective gasp as the style icon was caught wearing … flats? Her understated shoe choice makes sense, given reports that the mom of four experienced a slipped disc shortly after Harper's birth. Friends are blaming Beckham's love of high heels for her new-baby backache. But are they correct?
Probably not. "There is no data that relates slipped discs to high heels," says Dr. Neel Anand, director of orthopedic spine surgery at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, to the Los Angeles Times. "There is no data to prove it, and I don't think that's an issue at all."
A slipped disc, Anand says, is a popular name for a 'herniated' disc. This occurs when the discs—circular pads of cartilage which lie between the vertebrae, and responsible for cushioning the spine—become damaged. "They're like spongy bumpers, like a car tire", says Dr. Anand (via the LA Times). "[And] when they get a tear, the gelatinous material in the middle can start to squish out." When that happens, it often puts pressure on nerves in the spinal canal, causing pain.
A herniated disc may be caused by normal wear and tear, such as bending over or lifting things, like the laundry or even a new baby. Extra pregnancy pounds can also put extra strain on a woman's back. But wearing high heels? Experts say there's no connection.
"Some women actually feel better while wearing high heels," he says. "I tell them to do whatever feels comfortable. If they've been in high heels all their life, they'll probably do better in them than taking them off." But, it should be noted, high heels do pose a risk for slips and falls, especially when you already may be feeling off-balance later in pregnancy. Swollen feet, which most women (but not Posh, apparently) experience during pregnancy often make sneakers and other practical shoes a more comfortable choice.
High Style
Treatment for slipped discs includes anti-inflammatory medications, ice, and physical therapy. In rare cases, when symptoms don't improve or begin to worsen, surgery may be needed, according to Dr. Anand.
In other words, the fashion world can probably breathe a sigh of relief: Posh should be back in her heels real soon. Just no heavy lifting all those shopping bags!

DENVER -- Aaron Brooks got word just before game time that he would start in place of an ailing Ty Lawson, and then took advantage of his opportunity.
Brooks had 27 points and a career-high 17 assists to lead the Denver Nuggets past the Detroit Pistons 118-109 on Wednesday night for their fourth win in five games.
"Aaron did a great job of picking those guys apart," teammate Darrell Arthur said. "He did whatever he wanted to. He got to the rim. He got guys open for easy looks. He did a great job managing the floor today."
Brooks said he found out Lawson, who was suffering from a sinus infection, wouldn't be able to play when Lawson walked off the court and told him after struggling in pregame warm-ups.
"I thought he was joking at first," Brooks said. "I was like, 'Quit playing around. Get back out there.' But that's what you have to do. We all stepped up."
Randy Foye added 22 points, Kenneth Faried had 14 and J.J. Hickson had 11 points and 11 rebounds for the Nuggets. Wilson Chandler also sat out after receiving an injection to treat a hip injury.
Greg Monroe scored 22 points to lead the Pistons, who lost their 11th in a row on the road. Rodney Stuckey added 18 and Kyle Singler and Charlie Villanueva each had 13.
"Aaron Brooks was able to get in the lane and Randy Foye just caught fire from 3," Monroe said. "Anytime you have a backcourt that one's getting to the rim and the other is knocking down 3s, it's going to be tough on any night."
Trailing by seven at the half, the Nuggets rallied to take an 85-84 lead into the fourth quarter.
After Singler's 3-pointer put the Pistons in front 82-75, the Nuggets outscored Detroit 10-2 over the final 3:20 of the third quarter to regain the lead.
Brooks started the spurt with a 3-pointer and a driving reverse layup and Foye closed it by hitting a 3 and finishing a fast-break with a layup after stealing an inbounds pass.
Denver used another 10-2 surge to stretch its lead to 104-91 midway through the final period.
Detroit pulled to 113-109 with 54.2 seconds remaining as Singler and Villanueva hit 3s around a layup by Hickson. But Hickson had another layup and Anthony Randolph converted a three-point play to give the Nuggets a nine-point cushion with 31.7 seconds remaining.
Stuckey scored 14 of his points in the first half, helping the Pistons take a 61-54 lead.
Detroit led by as many as 11 points early on.
NOTES: Pistons C Andre Drummond sat the game out after injuring his neck on Saturday against Indiana. ... Pistons G Chauncey Billups, a former Nugget and native of Denver who has been sidelined by a knee injury, returned a warm ovation from the crowd with a couple of waves of his hand. ... The Pistons lost Josh Smith to ejection midway through the third quarter after he picked up a pair of technical fouls in quick succession. ... Brooks' previous career high for assists was 13 against Phoenix on Nov. 17, 2009.
It was Canada's night at the NBA Draft as four players from north of the border were selected.

How many times have you felt God is trying to speak to you and yet you feel like you're hearing nothing? Who hasnt asked, God, can't you talk louder? I just want to know what to do!" The reality is that all of God's sheep, in every denomination, already hear God's voiceevery day!
Elijah List Founder Steve Shultz uncovers the many Scriptures "hidden in plain sight," as he likes to say. These clear, yet often forgotten passages, contain easy answers to the questions youve asked, or wish you could ask, about hearing God's voice.
In Can't You Talk Louder, God?, Steve answers practical questions such as:
Learn how you can tune in to what God has to say personally to you! You don't even have to believe in prophecy. It's not the term "prophecy" thats the problem, but how it's defined.
The wisdom in this book speaks on a "vulnerable" level through the author's exciting and dramatic real-life stories. The series of questions and answers by themselves make this book worth more than the cost.
"Steve Shultz walks in some of the highest degrees of prophetic integrity that I have personally witnessed, and his book, Can't You Talk Louder, God?, will open up realms of insight, revelation, and confidence in hearing God's voice." Patricia King, Extreme Prophetic
"I know of no one in our day that has made a greater contribution to releasing God's voice into the earth than Steve Shultz. That being said, Can't You Talk Louder God? gives us yet another rich deposit from Steve that will result in a purer prophetic stream flowing through the Body of Christ. This is a great book!"Dutch Sheets, Senior Pastor, Freedom Church, Colorado Springs, Colorado
"As a dear friend to my family, myself and ministry team for many years, beyond any doubt, Steve has proven his love, commitment, and understanding of the ministry of the prophet by self-sacrifice and his own personal experience as a gifted prophetic voice. However, what is remarkable is that he has gone the extra mile by becoming the foremost facilitator of the prophetic expression through his fair and balanced Elijah List, thereby giving an opportunity to millions of people to hear the secrets of God fresh from Heaven. Prophecy is an exegesis of existence from a divine perspective and can only be expounded by a person who has the heart to not only listen, but hear what God is saying through vessels of clay.
I thank God that Steve has taken the time to put pen to paper and finally share on a practical level his knowledge in this fine book, Can't You Talk Louder, God?"Kim Clement, Prophetic Image Expressions
"Can't You Talk Louder, God? is another great tool for such a time as this. It is another installment in God's 'School of the Spirit.' Having appreciated and walked with Steve Shultz for the last several years, I can vouch for his integrity in his life and ministry, and the practical message he brings. One of Steve's goals is to demystify the propheticor the art of hearing and following the voice of God. Yes, God wants you to hear His voice more than you want to hear it! He really does! And this book will help you learn lessons from one of God's best students. Take and eat 'lessons from the trenches from another of God's listening servants." Dr. James W. Goll, Encounters Network
"With Can't You Talk Louder, God?, Steve Shultz continues in his passionate pursuit to help the Body of Christ to know God's voice. In learning how to recognize the voice of God, Steve shows how every person open to hearing God can affect the world around them. This very practical, yet inspirational book encourages readers to step confidently into their destiny in Christ."Bill Johnson, Senior Pastor, Bethel Church
"Steve Shultz has blessed the Christian world with sound wisdom concerning the voice of the Lord. Hearing and ministering the voice of the Lord is called prophetic ministry. I can speak with authority concerning the work ability of the principles Steve presents, speaking from 55 years of prophetic ministry, writing several books on the prophetic, pioneering the Prophetic Movement, and training more than 250,000 saints in hearing and ministering the voice of the Lord. Thanks, Steve, for blessing the Body of Christ with this book that every Christian needs to read."Dr. Bill Hamon, Bishop, Christian International Ministries Network
Steve Shultz was raised, as he puts it, "under the law," and as such, he's been given the gift to pursue grace with all that is in him. He says it's almost "illegal" for him to speak without talking of grace. He had his first prophetic dream in 1984, and was trained during the 80's to hear God's voice. In 1994, God released him to prophesy to others and he's been doing it ever since.
Steve "stumbled" into publishing the ElijahList in 1997, a list that now has over 136,000 subscribers. He is also the publisher of ElijahRain magazine. Steve has been married to his "best friend," Derene, for 30 years. They have 3 grown children.

I really enjoy making quick breads. Mostly because they're easy, but also because they lend themselves to so many possibilities. Not to mention the fact that you can serve them for breakfast or dessert. This lemon version fills all expectations-- easy, tasty and versatile. The recipe I used is from the website Epicurious, but I tweaked it a bit with the addition of ginger in the glaze.
Lemon Quick Bread with Lemon-Ginger Glaze
1 and 2/3 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 and 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup butter, at room temperature
2 large eggs
zest from 2 lemons
1/2 cup milk
juice from 2 lemons
1 tablespoon ginger, sliced
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a loaf pan with cooking spray.
Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. In a large bowl using an electric mixer cream the butter and 1 cup of the sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, to the butter and sugar. Add in the lemon zest.
Add the flour and milk to the butter and sugar mixture, a little at a time, until incorporated. Pour the batter into the pan and bake at 350 degrees for 50-60 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
Heat the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar, lemon juice and ginger in a small sauce pan over low heat until the sugar dissolves. Remove from the heat and set aside (don't remove the ginger slices until right before you glaze the bread).
Once the bread is done move it to a wire rack. While it's hot brush the glaze over the top in batches. Allow the glaze to soak into the bread before adding more.

Rated 5 out of 5�by Airwolf Under Armour 495 Gripskin Junior Football Great football. I have used several footballs for the youth team I have coached for the past three years and this is by far the best football. September 1, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by NA Practice ball Well made and great for the kids to practice with. July 22, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Football dad Great football! This ball along with the UA 395 were approved balls for my sons youth football league. While in the store we decided to spend a few more $$$ on this one due to the quality. Both footballs were great but the feel of the laces on this one seemed better quality and a more natural feel. I think the price difference was $5...the other balls laces felt "sharper" and not as smooth. By no means a safety issue but a definite comfort quality we didn't want to compromise on. Great ball and my son loves it!!! July 15, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Lee Nice Football My son is a little young for this ball, but I thought he would like it. He can throw it pretty well even though it's a little big for his hand. The ball has good grip and it seems to be made with good leather. December 31, 2013

Rated 5 out of 5�by Tuffy Great Grip! This ball was purchased for my 11 year old who plays center on his football team. As soon as he took it out of the box he commented about how easy it was to get a good grip on it. (Apparently the balls that his team uses at practice have no grip left.) This is a very good quality football. October 19, 2012

The Proper Role of Government in a Free SocietyA debate featuring Rick Santorum and Howard DeanMonday, November 4, 20137:30 p.m. Beach/Schmidt Performing Arts Center Rick Santorum and Howard Dean, both former Presidential candidates, offer a bi-partisan look at what we can expect from the next few years of the Obama administration. From the economy to healthcare, Santorum and Dean provide a rousing debate on a wide variety of issues concerning Americans today.
Biography:Senator Rick Santorum A passionate champion of America's founding principles, Senator Rick Santorum's impressive presidential campaign positioned him as a leading voice of the Republican Party. Senator Santorum began his presidential campaign as a dark-horse candidate, but with a victory in the Iowa caucuses, he became a center-stage challenger who went on to win another ten states, over 3 million votes, and claim the mantle of conservative alternative to the frontrunner. In four years in the U.S. House of Representatives and 12 as U. S. Senator, Santorum earned a reputation as a passionate fighter for conservative values and a vocal advocate for smaller government, cutting wasteful spending, a strong national defense, and a return to our country's founding principles.
Governor Howard Dean A physician who originally entered politics to try to get universal coverage in the U.S. and instituted an innovative healthcare plan as Governor of Vermont, Dr. Howard Dean offers an experienced and dual perspective as physician and politician to the discussion of health reform in America. His groundbreaking campaign for the U.S. Presidency and subsequent four years as Chairman of the Democratic National Committee have provided him with both an insider's view and a reformer's commitment to the economy and health care. His skillful stewardship of the party as Democratic National Committee chair began in 2005 and continued through the inauguration of President Barack Obama.
Sponsored by the Young America's Foundation, the Student Government Association, and the Office of the President.

I ordered the Bali Bliss and it would have truly been bliss if I had remembered to add avocado. I ordered it with sweet potato fries and the chipotle ranch was excellent. If I lived in CA I would go here every day.
I don't normally give 5 star ratings to "fast food"-type restaurants, but Veggie Grill is really pretty exceptional. I stopped at the El Segundo location of Veggie Grill on my way to the Los Angeles International Airport. First, it should be noted that this location is only 3 miles from the airport and the drive is a straight shot down Sepulveda Blvd. It took me less than 10 minutes to get to the airport terminal from the restaurant. Better still, the service at Veggie Grill is incredibly fast. Within 7 minutes, I had one meal sitting on a plate in front of me and a second meal neatly packaged and ready to bring with me on the plane (and no, there weren't any issues with carrying my food through the airport security). The restaurant was very clean and spacious and the servers were extremely helpful and friendly. Veggie Grill also had an excellent selection of beverages, including several flavors of freshly brewed iced tea and homemade strawberry lemonade.
While I was sitting at Veggie Grill, I tried the Santa Fe chicken sandwich with a side of mac-n-cheese. The Santa Fe chicken sandwich is the most popular item on the menu, and I could immediately understand why. The sandwich comes with a plump, juicy faux chicken patty that has been breaded and seasoned, topped with veggies and southwestern vegan mayo, and served on a perfectly toasted bun. The mac-n-cheese was made with quinoa pasta and sprinkled with gluten-free breadcrumbs. I have to admit that I'm usually wary of dishes that satisfy multiple dietary restrictions (eg. gluten-free and vegan) but I was pleasantly surprised by Veggie Grill's mac-n-cheese. Those who are looking for a vegan replica of Kraft Easy Mac might be a bit disappointed, as it didn't taste exactly like the mac-n-cheese that I remember from my childhood. That said, if you're just aiming for a warm, creamy casserole that also happens to be rich in protein, Veggie Grill's mac-n-cheese definitely hits the spot.
When I explained that I was interested in buying a second meal to eat on an airplane, the server who took my order immediately started giving me advice on which dishes "travel" best (eg. the salads). She also offered to pack sandwich ingredients separately (in order to prevent the bun from getting soggy). I decided to take her advice and order the Thai chicken salad and a chocolate chip cookie. The Thai chicken salad consisted of faux chicken strips, quinoa, roasted corn, mandarin oranges, lettuce, cilantro and wontons, served with a small container of "spicy Thai dressing" (note: I have very low tolerance for spicy foods and I did not find this dressing to be very spicy). The chocolate chip cookie was a large, moist, freshly-baked cookie. My only complaint is that the chocolate chip cookies all seem to contain walnuts.
Overall, I can't recommend this place enough. If you're en route to LAX and have an extra 30 minutes to spare, you need to make a detour to The Veggie Grill!
