Matt Smith, who plays the Doctor, was seen reading a Beano summer special from 1981 in an episode aired on April 6, The Rings Of Akhaten.
Publishers were inundated with messages from fans and decided to reprint the 32-page comic, including it free inside a special edition of The Beano which is now on sale.
The front cover features a caricature of Matt Smith and Dennis the Menace making short work of a Dalek.

These days, trying to find an aesthetically pleasing bag at an affordable price is like trying to find a picture of big foot that doesn't look like it was taken by a stoner with a broken camera. You know it's got to be out there – you just don't know how to go about finding one. Well, for all of us too lazy to go out and make one by hand and too broke to spend upwards of $1,000, Ossington offers a both affordable and eye catching alternative.
Based out of Chino, California, Ossington combines functional designs with features like leather and wax finishes to bring you a product that could rival even the most high-end competition. Be sure to check out the Prince bag in dark gray, the Greene bag in navy, and the Mulberry bag in black.

Bike-boom Peugeot
How Old is My Bike?
(All photos are presented in thumbnail format, click on images to view larger size.)
Unfortunately, exactly dating a Peugeot earlier than the late 1970s is an art rather than a science, and is often an estimate
at best. Even original owners have a hard time remembering the year that they purchased the bicycle. That said,
it is possible to date a bike within several years with some confidence based on frame features and components. See
the 'Frame, Decals & Badges' webpage for a pictorial timeline of frame features, and the 'Components' webpages for information
on when they were found on 'U' bicycles.
Older bicycles have a serial number on the underside of the bottom bracket. If the number has six digits the frame
was made in the 1960s, seven digits in the 1970s. Sometimes, the first digit indicates the year within each decade that
the frame was made. For example, 1940481 and 2400884 represent 1971 and 1972, respectively. However, there
are many cases when the first digit suggests a frame production year that is older than the actual age of the bicycle.
For example, the serial number 1355592 on a 1975 bicycle. The reverse has not been documented, so it is likely that
bicycles are no older than the first digit in the factory serial number, but could be younger. Sometimes local bike
shops etched serial numbers into the rear dropout, but this number may or may not match the original.
It is helpful to compare the serial numbers of older bicycles with dates that are sometimes found on the rims, hubs
and derailleurs. Although my 1972 AO8 has DEA rims and a Simplex Prestige rear derailleur clearly marked '1972'
and '72', respectively, these dates also can not be used alone to determine the age of a bicycle. For example, my 1973
UE8 came equipped with a 1971 derailleur. If your serial number and component dates match, you are probably in
good shape. If not, the bicycle is no older than the latest component, but you will have to estimate the age (e.g.,
early 70s).
Newer bicycles are easier to date because the frame features and components changed more frequently. Also, the
serial numbers are more reliable. For example, the 1979 AO8 Sport pictured on the 'Frames, Decals and Badges' webpage
has a combination of features only found in 1979, and has the serial number Y902 43210. 'Y' stands for year and '9' represents 1979. if needed, see the Cycles Peugeot
website for a more extensive discussion of serial numbers.

You may have noticed that we've added a Paypal donation button to the sidebar to the right. I'll be right up front and tell you that if you can make a donation to support our efforts here, it would be greatly appreciated and go a long way toward making sure TWC keeps going for the foreseeable future.
Prior to our recent re-envisioning, my own blogging efforts had been light because of a number of factors, including the fact that I have been out of work for a few months now and am looking for a new job, and also that we had to cut the internet from our household budget, so my online access was extremely spotty. We managed to get our internet back a few weeks ago, and you may have noticed I've been on a real streak ever since — I guess I had a lot of stuff bottled up inside me.
I know times are tough all over; I'm not the only one, and we're lucky in that my wife still has a job, and a good one at that. But she doesn't make enough to cover all our household expenses, and some months are very difficult, so I'm asking you to consider making a donation from time to time, in whatever amount you think is fair, if you like what we do here. I'm not going to turn Trouble with Comics into a PBS Pledge Drive, and other than this one message, and maybe a brief reminder at the end of some posts, the only reminder asking you to donate will be the button in the sidebar.
Besides the donation button, you can also support our efforts by clicking on one of the BUY COMICS links in the sidebar, which take you to Lone Star Comics' MyComicShop.com and Amazon, both of which we have affiliate programs set up with. You can also spread the word about us on Facebook, or your own blog, if you have one, or any message boards or mailing lists you participate in. If you have a project you want to tell the world about, email me about advertising here on TWC. This would be fun if only Chris and I were reading what we do here, but I have to be honest and tell you it's a thrill to know that people actually are interested in what we do, and if you can help more people learn that we're here, that would be great, too.
Since Chris and I started redoubling our efforts here on TWC, it's been gratifying to see so many readers find their way back here. We're a long way from the glory days of Comic Book Galaxy in the early 2000s, but it's clear that we have a small but loyal audience that likes what we do, and I speak for Chris when I tell you we appreciate every one of you who stops by, checks out our writing, or leaves a comment. Thank you for being a part of Trouble with Comics, and thank you for whatever support you can provide to keep us going, now or in the future.
— Alan David Doane

Everyday Bombshell
from Avenue during their most recent 40% off sale. It goes just below my knee and will be great for work, nights out, maybe even Thanksgiving.
6 comments:
Cute outfit!ReplyDelete
Lucky you! Sounds like a really fun time with your girlfriends! =)
I like your sweater dress. It sounds like you had a fun weekend.ReplyDelete
I saw some of the other pics on facebook and I love the sweater dress! It looks fantastic!!ReplyDelete
Hi, I have a question for you. I am thinking about purchasing clothing from "Avenue". Can you tell me is the clothing good quality and true to size? I am thinking about purchasing the sweater dress and a few tops.ReplyDelete
The sweater dress looks beautiful on you. You rock it!! Have a great day. :)
Hi Nicole- In my experience, the quality from Avenue can be a little hit and miss. The knit tops that I've purchased there tend to stretch out a lot during the day. However, I love their jeggings and the sweater dress really impressed me. It's well constructed and seems really solid. I hope you have a similar experience!ReplyDelete
Thank you Sara!!ReplyDelete
Thanks for the comment - it'll appear here once I review it. The helps keep the spam bots from junking up the comments (and makes sure I get to read and respond to comments, too!)

Home Staging and Interior Design
In today's real estate market, your home needs to be buyer-ready. Fresh, unique and compelling. Styled to move quickly—and at the highest price. You have precious seconds to captivate a prospective buyer—and their experience begins at the curb. Today's buyer needs to fall in love with your home in the first instant.
Since 2008, we have designed environments to entice buyers and encourage strong offers. No property is too large or small for us to show off its best features and highlight its unique qualities. At Madison Modern Home, we guide each project from beginning to completion with an eye toward exceptional quality and attention to detail. Homes we have styled stay on the market an average of six short weeks. Some have entered escrow within a mere 24 hours of listing. We ensure you'll experience a smooth transition from listed to sold.
Madison Modern Home is a family business, made up of a mother-daughter team
A natural-born interior designer, I have a keen eye for what works in a room, and a knack for sourcing just the right art and accessories to round out an environment. I spent 29 years in graphic design and creative direction.
Equally obsessed with design, I studied interior design at Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising (FIDM) in Los Angeles. With an additional background in graphic design, I bring my unique artistic vision to each project.
Together, we tackle homes, condos, townhouses and apartments with talent, energy, a fresh perspective and superb client interaction. madisonmodernhome.com
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
e just finished staging an elegant family home located on a wide street up in the hills of Glendale. It's located high above Chevy Chase canyon, overlooking a valley called Emerald Isle. Built in 1969, with much of its original detail intact, we decided to stage it in a Mid Century modern meets Hollywood Regency style — with some traditional details added to capture the heart of the home's potential buyer.
Enter through the awesome double front doors and take a look around with us. We styled the entry with a narrow console table and a circular mirror.
The white carpet and walls proved to be an ideal canvas for us to bring in a burnt orange sofa with modern lines. We tricked it out with some flokati pillows, of course. An orange knitted pouf repeats the persimmon scheme, while framed abstract art and blue accessories balance the palette.
A Barcelona-style glass topped cocktail table with an X-base gleams in the center of the room.
We squared off the sofa with two graphite slipper chairs and placed a hand-carved low Indian table between them.
A curvy red lamp with Jonathan Adler lines sits atop a Moroccan tray table.
A 1970s side table hosts a blue glass vase collection.
A view into the other side of the living room, and a reflection in a vintage brass apple. Even the tones of the book covers tie into our overall color scheme.
We placed two chocolate brown wing back chairs in a corner of the living room, pointed toward the view. A chevron pillow ties all the room's colors together and a sunburst mirror is all we needed on the wall.
The dining room takes a more traditional turn, as dark gray linen slip covered chairs pull up to a turned-leg dining table.
To tie into the B&W art on the walls, we tossed a boldly graphic striped throw over one of the chairs.
Keeping with our B&W theme, the tabletop shares this high-contrast look.
A sunroom off the dining room is treated to a neutral color scheme with some earthy accents, in the form of a Moroccan pattern flatweave rug angled over a jute rug. A zebra pillow and an African basket complete the globally influenced look.
In the master bedroom, a soothing mix of taupe, gray and B&W, with a faux fur bedspread for luxury.
We chose high contrast B&W nightstands to add a punch to this restful retreat.
ake one updated traditional family home. Add a heaping tablespoon of green, some fresh orange and pops of B&W. What do you get? You get the home we just staged in Glendale, CA's Chevy Chase Estates neighborhood. A leafy canyon drive leads you to this charming spot, featured here. Once inside the home, its cottage charm, diamond mullion windows, original wood built-ins and three fireplaces (even one in the kitchen!) will have you wrapped around its little finger.
We styled the home with a freshened farmhouse palette of Spring greens, with some earthy, industrial elements thrown in. First off, the living room receives a jolt of pattern in the form of a B&W chevron rug to wake things up. (All photography by Michael Hillman).
What could be more perfect than a green glass vase with a flowering Spring branch inside? Orange appears in the book cover on the coffee tabletop to tie into other orange elements throughout the room.
An off-white sofa floats in the center, allowing for great traffic flow, while a Moroccan shaped side table throws the room a curve.
We styled a small vintage buffet with more green and orange accents, toughened up a bit with natural elements, like a nature-bleached Manzanita branch. A slightly 1950s-shaped lamp with a burlap shade offers contrasting man-made curviness.
We placed a linen wing back chair in the bay window to highlight the diamond mullions and to create a cozy moment for relaxing with a book. An orange throw over the arm of the chair injects a little more color, while a green table lamp ties it all together.
A small gallery wall with neutral toned art.
A small library off the living room features an original stained glass window (c.1951, the age of the home) and built-in shelving that wraps around a corner. Another fireplace adds so much charm to this multi-use space. We styled the room with a modern wing back chair in a wide-wale mustard-tone corduroy to tie into the yellow window. A transitional tripod floor lamp bridges old and new.
We repeated the B&W from the living room on the floor. This time, a Moroccan tile pattern rug, which enlarges the room visually with its large scale pattern.
Every detail counts when you're styling a room, so we approached the built-ins with an eye to creating a collected, curated look.
We think it's pretty cool that even the smallest of cues (a few pencils in a cup) can "suggest" that this room's other use could be as an office.
The stars of this kitchen turned out to be the three awesome industrial barstools we found at World Market. We love how they can swivel up to either counter- or bar-height, and the fact that they only look expensive!
A vintage round pedestal table with IKEA's KAUSTBY chairs pulled up helps define this eat-in kitchen. Neutral tones prevail in our accessorizing, punctuated by sea glass blues and greens in the oversized vases.
An outdoor patio offers the chance to modernize things a bit with a clean-lined picnic table and chairs, accented with more of the green and orange that define the interior.
outh Pasadena is one of our favorite cities. And we just finished staging a gorgeous house perched on a hillside in "South Pas." It's a 1923 home with Spanish architecture and tons of natural light. The home also has a glassed-in observation deck on the top floor with insane views as well as park-like grounds with tall palm trees. Watch for the real estate listing coming soon. We'll post a link to it!
In the living room, we brought in clean-lined furniture with a Mid Century modern feel, which blends perfectly with so many types of architecture. A flax-tone sofa and chair float on a sisal rug, and a West Elm cocktail table serves as a dark anchor. We put a tripod lamp in the corner to amp up the modern factor a little more. Black-framed vintage prints pick up on the dark furniture legs and add just a hint of antiquity. Outside each window, an explosion of green in the lush gardens surrounding the home.
The other side of the living room is cozy and inviting, with a fireplace decked out in original Batchelder tile and built-in wooden bookshelves. Glowing lights brighten shelf molding all around the room, and a small staircase to the right leads to the second story.
We put a tall linen-upholstered chair in the corner for a little touch of traditional style. Wrought iron sconces flank a vintage painting above the mantel. In the background, a peek into the dining room.
The dining room is lit by a vintage crystal chandelier hanging from a beamed ceiling. Richly textured white stucco walls and large windows make this room a real destination.
We used West Elm's ikat settee as a dining bench, and accented it with gray linen pillows with jute braid detail. Taupe Crate and Barrel chairs finish out the serene scene.
We set the table simply, for a casual brunch or dinner party. Vintage-style crochet-edge napkins add a dainty element while bisque color plates tone it all down. We added more antique art to the walls.
In the office, an original 1923 mural painting by Richard Leroy Corbaley (1882-1960) painted directly onto the stucco above the mantel inspired our eclectic approach to this room. Two linen chairs in different styles share space with a small kilim rug.
Detail of the painting, which depicts a tribe of Native Americans who look like they're being displaced from their land.
We put a vintage typewriter on a small white lacquer desk and added a few desk accessories like a gooseneck lamp and letter holder. Above the desk, a vintage oil portrait.
We love how this room feels different from the others with its slight eccentricities. French doors, original hardwood floors and lots of natural light. Yes!
In the master bedroom, a calming color scheme of gray, green and brown with bits of orange prevails, echoing the leafy scene outside the windows. With B&W nature photography on the walls and tall lamps with gray lampshades, this bedroom is just begging to be napped in :).
We love how the window above the bed "reads" as art.
We kept our accessorizing to a minimum to amplify the fact that this is a stress-free zone.
The upper deck, as we've been calling it (it almost feels like a cruise ship) boasts incredible views seen through wraparound windows that envelop the room in an amazing amount of light. With all this drama, we kept furnishings and accessories to a minimum by positioning four white slipper chairs around a Noguchi-style cocktail table atop a white shag rug. Cozy, inviting and perfect for view-watching.
With polished wood floors, a massive vintage iron chandelier and a herringbone-pattern beamed ceiling, you might enjoy the interior view almost as much!
ur client's existing master bathroom was such an eyesore, he couldn't wait for us complete our redesign. In fact, he asked the contractor to paint over the hideous lime green early on in the process. We gladly concurred. The bathroom was a symphony of bad taste — from shiny chrome faucets to white square tiles. In other words, the perfect "before" to our "after".
We envisioned a relaxing spa-style retreat with natural elements. Our initial plans included a soft turquoise palette, using glass subway tile as the main focal point and a seaglass tone on the walls. After designing three other rooms in our client's condo, we began to evolve our design plan toward a more earthy palette. These were the original renderings:
After looking into the cost of glass subway tile, it solidified our decision to go in a different direction. We went back to the drawing board (Floors 4 Less!) with this new criteria in mind and found something even better:
Now comes the fun part! Bye bye bad bath.
Our weathered wood-look wall tile envelops the bath and shower while a walnut stained double vanity hugs the adjacent wall.
After searching for the perfect round mirrors, we decided on a more masculine shape, and had these two custom made to complement the vanity. Three George Kovacs sconces punctuate the space between the mirrors, and add a sophisticated hotel vibe.
A natural wood bath mat ties into the organic limestone shower floor tile. Moen fixtures in brushed nickel work with the gray tones in the wood-style wall tile.
We love that our client has really expensive-looking, beautiful shampoo bottles! They look great in the off-centered niche.
We chose sandstone bath accessories from The Container Store and CB2, and a teak tray to corral them.
We chose a wall color that picks up on the subtle grays in the floor tile.
Sleek undermount sinks and a Caesarstone countertop.
et bars. The concept is pretty passe. Once a staple in family homes of the 1950s and 60s, they were later relegated to the basements and "rumpus rooms" of the 70s and 80s. They all have a few things in common: a mirrored backsplash, exposed metal brackets and a grimy sink. No one ever uses them. Except for storage.
When we first laid eyes on this tiny bar tucked into a nook in our client's home, we thought "Let's rip it out!". However, after taking thoughtful notes on his needs and wants, he divulged that he worked as a bartender in his 20s. Not only did he have tons of booze, he also liked to throw soirées and needed a place to mix drinks. "It stays!" we cried out in unison (okay, maybe not — but we were excited)
See? Exposed shelving hardware, grimy sink and a dirty old mirror. Throughout the design process we kept thinking, "Mad Men, Mad Men, Mad Men". We could just imagine our client getting up from his desk to stroll over to his very own bar at 10:30 am, and pour himself a Vodka Gimlet a la Roger Sterling.
Taking cues from the incredible set design of the show, we chose a 60s-feel walnut wood tone for the cabinet and an organic-look grasscloth for the wall behind. A warm white countertop by Caesarstone is topped with a fresh Moen bar sink and a cornered gooseneck faucet. Here is our original design concept:
The obligatory progress shots:
Our contractor stained three simple floating shelves with a medium-gloss and picked up some brushed chrome piping that slides over the unsightly hardware. We finished it off with matching brushed chrome door handles and a sleek new bar light. Our client supplied the hooch!
The day construction finished, we quickly styled the shelves and our client hosted a shindig the very next day. Luckily, no ones legs were amputated by a John Deere lawn mower.
arwax orange is what we were reminded of when we first laid eyes on this hideous 3/4 bath. Why someone would paint that color in a bathroom, we'll never know. Our client hired us to redesign this space to coordinate with the other design projects we were tackling in his home. We breathed a great sigh of relief and jumped right in.
Here's what we were dealing with:
See? Earwax. An aluminum frame shower door, Home Depot-special shiny white tile and white grout. Add some brass fixtures and one of those extendy-counter-over-the-toilet things and you've got a really BLAH bathroom.
Since this is a second bath attached to a guest room, we decided to have some fun. A clean gray palette allowed the introduction of bright colors in towels and accessories. We started off with this rendering to give everyone an idea of the design foundation:
Floating walnut vanity, glassed-in tub/shower combo. Modern Moen fixtures in brushed nickel and a cross-hatch patterned gray wall tile - inspired by a menswear weave, and also reminded us of our client's J. Crew-heavy wardrobe:
Some in-between shots:
The finished room craved color. After a trip to The Container Store, we emerged with armfuls of bright bath accessories .
We brought in a natural wood bath mat to contrast with the ash-toned floor tile. Sleek Moen shower trim updates the bathtub (which you would never know was reglazed, not replaced!) A simple wire wastebasket tucks in the small space between the Toto Drake II toilet and vanity.
Instagram-inspired photography hangs in brushed metal Crate & Barrel frames. We brought bright orange across the room in the form of hand towels. A brushed nickel framed mirror from West Elm tops out the vanity.
Close-up of shower detail:
owder rooms are the jewel boxes of the home. Because they're small and don't require a shower or bath, they lend themselves to a high-personality treatment. Our client gave us carte blanche to create a warm, yet modern, powder room that would coordinate with the updated mid-century modern style we were incorporating in other rooms of his home.
Here's what we were dealing with:
Builder grade fixtures, pink-tinged cabinetry, molded fiberglass countertop and sink, plain white square floor tile and Hollywood makeup lights circa 1992.
Our design goal was to envelope the tiny room with textural warmth, and add flattering lighting while retaining a sleek, mid-century modern feel. These preliminary models were rendered to show our client and contractor the look and feel we were after:
First things first, Johnny installing the grasscloth on the walls:
After some consideration (and grabbing some awesome tile on sale) we switched up the black floor tile idea for a white one with a subtle strie pattern. We also went with a single drawer vanity to simplify the space.
A Caesarstone countertop with a rectangular undermount sink and Moen Level series faucet update what used to be a cookie-cutter condo half bath. We chose a warm walnut finish and a sleek, singular drawer-front for our floating vanity. Our choice was inspired by the look of a modernist credenza.
Calvin Klein hand towels bring a masculine geometric pattern into the space, contrasting nicely with the subtle stripes of the grasscloth. Inexpensive RIBBA frames from IKEA hold original graphic charcoal drawings to add a little edge to the soothing space.
We chose brushed nickel for all our metal finishes. Including a beveled mirror we found at Lamps Plus for half-price. We flanked the mirror with George Kovacs sconces and topped the counter with a "Penguin" soap pump from The Container Store.
No surface was safe in this bathroom. We changed everything from the floor up, including the toilet. We brought in a Drake II by Toto and fresh white baseboards. The floor tile is 12x24, chosen for its large scale, and installed in running bond.
etting it right in staging a traditional home has everything to do with details. If you start with your large furnishings in neutral tones and transitional shapes, you can create an updated take on traditional just by adding key accessories, like lamps, rugs, art, vases and other decorative items. With a strong neutral backdrop, all you need is a palette of soft, muted tones of russet, sage green, linen, taupe and dark brown. Keep it simple, and be sure to add pattern in the form of Navajo or Kilim rugs, and texture in pillows and rugs, like sisal, linen and jute. This lovely Glendale, CA home is a perfect example of a traditional home that appeals to today's modern family. The home is listed by Craig Farestveit of Craig Estates & Fine Properties. See the real estate listing here
Soft neutral colors prevail in this large living room featuring a brick fireplace. We put two off-white sofas facing each other on top of a sisal rug, then layered a colorful kilim at a slight angle over that. A round cocktail table in warm wood has a lower shelf for remotes and books.
The room boasts a cozy window seat which we accented with large burlap pillows.
Crisp white walls and vaulted, beamed ceilings are the perfect canvas on which to wash our muted traditional color palette.
A formal dining room is seen in the background. An antique marble-topped console table to the left holds a glass lamp with a burlap shade.
Four white slipcovered Parsons chairs pull up to a traditional medium tone wood dining table under a contemporary chandelier in this neutral space with an updated modernity.
Red-orange napkins pop against the white plates and woven placemats. Soft sheer accordion shades place the scene in a serene light.
A jute rug underfoot is the basis for a neutral color scheme of brown and beige in this family room or den. Modern lines on the sofa tie into the glass topped round cocktail table. An off-white club chair provides a cozy spot for reading or relaxing with a glass of wine.
Two maple bar stools pull up to a gray granite counter top in this updated kitchen. In the background, simple white cabinetry and a sculptural stove hood add a modern touch.
A guest bedroom in tones of white and blue. We carried the blue into all the details, like pillows, art and even book covers.
In a child's bedroom, we used a great traditional go-to color palette of red, white and blue. But the tones are tempered, not too bright and are grounded by dark wood furniture, like this vintage child's bed.
ast year, we scored a gorgeous wing chair for under $300 at a going-out-of-business sale. Clad in a gray linen, she was tall and elegant — and just understated enough to use in multiple projects. To say we loved her is an understatement.
Here she is, making an appearance in a Silver Lake staging:
After an epic and uncharacteristic-of-L.A. rainstorm, we opened the door to one of our storage facilities to find this:
There she was. Water-stained, cold and shivering.
Dismayed, we put her aside for a while. She sat unused and pitiful in our storage unit while we tried to push through the negativity and carry on. Several weeks later, we met Jessie Genie and her Downtown L.A. loft. Enamored of the myriad bespoke pieces in Jessie's home, we asked where she was taking her furniture for such awesome upholstery work. "Chemo's!", she exclaimed (pronounced "CHEE-mohs"). After a quick Yelp consult (five stars!), we threw our prized chair in the back of the van and headed out to West L.A. We stopped at Mood on Pico and La Cienega for a rich, ochre corduroy fabric on the way. To change it up even more, we asked for some self-welting and a quadrant of button tufts.
Three weeks and three hundred dollars later… BEHOLD!
She's currently taking up residence in our soon-to-be-redecorated office here at Madison Modern Home. But keep your eyes peeled in future blog posts — she might turn up somewhere unexpected!
ur client gave us a specific design directive: Make his office feel like Palm Springs. That of-the-moment Jonathan Adler style that mixes bold, colorful elements with masculine hits of metallic for an environment that's anything but workaday. This office had to be taken seriously — along with its inhabitant. But serious doesn't necessarily preclude fun. Or a magenta door, for that matter. In this redesign, we completely reworked every surface of this small space to envelop it in warmth, unique personality and vibrancy. It now speaks to its owner's sophisticated and eclectic tastes, while accommodating his comfort, both during long work days and those late-night-deadline hours.
After the initial consultation with our client, we created a Mood Board showing our overall design direction.The design plan needed to address: 1) his need for light control due to a wall of large industrial windows that flooded the space with harsh light year-round, 2) plain white walls, 3) a place for his set of four hard-earned college diplomas, 4) a way to display original art and prints, 5) alternative lighting to counteract the overhead fluorescent fixtures, 6) a solution to the institutional style linoleum flooring, 7) a way to incorporate his computer monitor into a gallery wall, and 8) unique seating for his guests and visitors.
We chose a color scheme of deep, moody navy and gray with orange, magenta, white and gold accents. Benjamin Moore paint in a two-tone stripe, with navy on the bottom 2/3 of the wall and gray on the top 1/3 wraps the room in a soft cocoon. Magenta makes a star appearance on the large door's interior, making a strong, glossy color statement. A vintage 1960s orange lamp we found on etsy wakes up a corner with soft pools of light. Original watercolors and Instagram style photography also found on etsy pick up the accent colors. We chose teak-finish Allure vinyl flooring to warm the floor and crisp white roller shades for light control that wouldn't block his view of the trees outside.
We took before photos of the space:
We had to work with our client's existing bamboo-finish desk. This constraint proved to be a challenge, which we mitigated through the dark navy walls, against which the lightness of the desk would pop. The institutional flooring lacks charm, and a pair of standard office chairs offers no contrast or color.
The next step was to create design renderings to show our client what to expect from the finished design:
The finished room, showing a gallery wall of curated art from etsy, framed at Downtown Framing Outlet in matching white frames. Two white Saarinen style tulip chairs with orange cushions pop against the navy wall and teak finish floor.
Our client's Mac monitor is now incorporated into the gallery wall, which includes a wood-framed clock from IKEA.
Our client's four diplomas were framed in narrow gold frames with large white mats and hung in a quadrant for maximum impact. The point where the gray begins in the two-tone wall lines up with the center mullion of the windows for sleek effect. The frames pop just above that line. We had the metal window frames painted white for even more freshness.
An original Kymm Swank abstract on the wall above the tulip chairs. An almost identical painting, also by Swank, appeared in the dining room scenes in Don Draper's apartment on Mad Men, inspiring our client to want to own an original Swank.
We pulled colors from the painting to accent the office, including the lush magenta on the door.
The 1960s lamp glows against the more serious wall color and carries the orange of the chair cushions across the room. Textural, metallic accessories complement the smoother surfaces of the lamp and a light aqua vase.
Desk accessories and a gooseneck lamp in white lighten the space, tying into the window treatment and molding. Bright tones in the framed art link back to the vivid abstract on the adjacent wall.
ach year we bake something special for our clients for the holidays. Last year, it was French macarons, and this year, we dipped our toes into Whoopie Pie making. Using an adaptation of a Food Network recipe, we opted for the classic Whoopie: chocolate with creamy white filling.
3 cups sugar
1 cup butter
4 eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
6 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/2 tablespoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups milk
Filling, recipe follows
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F, or preheat a convection oven to 315 degrees F. In a large bowl of an electric mixer, beat the sugar, butter, and eggs together until well combined. Add the oil and vanilla and beat again. In a separate bowl, combine all of the dry ingredients. Add half of the dry mixture to the egg mixture and beat or stir to blend. Add 1 1/2 cups milk and beat again. Add the remaining dry mixture and beat until incorporated. Add the remaining 1 1/2 cups milk and beat until blended. With a large spoon, scoop out 32 circles of batter onto a baking sheet. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool. Spread filling onto 16 circles and place remaining circles on top, to make 16 Whoopie Pies.
1 1/2 cups shortening
3 cups confectioners' sugar
1 1/3 cups marshmallow topping
Dash salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 to 1/2 cup milk
In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine all ingredients except the milk and beat well. Add just enough milk to achieve a creamy consistency. Spread filling across cooled cookie circles.
We nestled them into green and white tissue paper and packaged them in white bakery boxes.
Rachel designed a Madison Modern Home label with holiday wishes that we affixed to the top of the boxes with double-stick tape.
e'd been eyeing designer candles in patterned metallics all year when we realized we could create our own for a lot less. Simple white pillar candles in glass jars from the grocery store and leftover pieces of Christmas tree trunk are ideal candidates for a holiday overhaul. For some added color in your display, treat inexpensive glass ball ornaments to a glossy metallic two-tone finish. These three fun and easy DIY projects can add a festive accent to a mantel or table.
A found branch with hand-painted tree trunk ornaments and two-tone glass ornaments crowns this holiday display.
To create all the decorations seen here, you will need:
Tree Trunk Ornaments
1. Drill a small hole at the top of each section of wood.
2. Draw a design freehand with different-colored craft paints. We chose a retro design in white and gold to match our kitschy display.
3. Pull twine through the hole and tie it off at the top.
1. Tape off the glass candles in different patterns. We chose plaid, chevron, horizontal stripes, triangles and a faux bois.
2. Apply a layer of white craft paint as primer over the entire surface of the candleholder. Allow the paint to dry completely, according to the instructions on the paint bottle.
3. Apply a layer of metallic gold or silver paint over the primer. Allow it to dry overnight.
4. Carefully remove the tape from the glass.
Glass Ornaments
1. Tape off the ornaments in different patterns. We chose chevron, triangles, stripes and halved.
2. Apply a layer of white craft paint as primer over the taped-off portions of the ornaments. Allow it to dry thoroughly, according to the instructions on the paint bottle.
3. Apply a layer of metallic gold or silver paint over the primer. Allow it to dry overnight.
4. Carefully remove the tape from the ornaments to reveal the two-tone finish.
To round out our display, we piled some firewood and leftover boughs into a patterned basket and taped the other glass ornaments at varied heights under the mantel.
ometimes when we stage a home, we don't exactly know what our color scheme will be. As we've blogged about before, sometimes a house just simply "spits out" what won't work. This Elysian Valley home wanted to be decked out in black, white, warm orange and amber, with touches of subtle green. We tried out various more colorful pieces of art and pillows and ended up not using them. The large windows in each room served as art in themselves, augmented and enhanced by a neutral palette with hits of high contrast.
The living room features a neutral leather sofa with simple Mid Century modern lines and subtle tufting. We accented it with a Navajo style pillow and a Mexican rug. A clean-lined coffee table adds warmth. We used a white arc lamp for its neutral but eye catching detail.
We tucked a bentwood Thonet chair in the corner along with a small vintage table. The B&W fabric on the chair's upholstered seat echoes the rug and bold pillow.
A closeup of the sofa. We love IKEA's new line of Navajo-inspired pieces, like this pillow.
We found the log ashtray at a thrift store in Venice, CA. Super cute. In the background, you get a peek into the dining room.
The Mid Century modern coffee table was sourced for $20 at a Silverlake shop and we had it refinished at Pepe's Furniture in Echo Park for a refreshed look.
Two corners working together. The flip side of the living room corner was the perfect spot to put our beloved rabbit painting and a small pedestal table.
By swapping out our arc lamp's previous bright orange shade for a white one, we've created a whole new lamp. A vintage wooden bowl, a faceted fox sculpture from Target and interesting books decorate the coffee table. The curtains throughout the house are from Nate Berkus' new line for Target.
We paired a traditional wooden pedestal dining table with modern clear acrylic chairs. We set the table simply and highlighted it with russet orange napkins.
We love how the acrylic chairs (The TOBIAS chair from IKEA) seem to disappear and how they contrast with the table's traditional lines and gleam against the dark hardwood floors.
A pair of vintage brass candle holders brings a touch of warmth to the tabletop.
The large dining room pendant informed our choices of finishes in the room. Its warm wood tone dictated that we ground the space with a similar-finish table. This is an example of how fixed features in a home inspire our choices. Any other design direction just wouldn't have made sense. This way, our design heightens the effect of existing fixtures that will stay with the home long after the staging comes down.
A view toward the kitchen shows the basket wall and the two DALFRED bar stools from IKEA which we pulled up to the breakfast bar. In the foreground, a closeup of the coffee table.
A sideboard in a matching wood tone is set into the dining alcove. It's just the right height to hang a large Art Nouveau poster above.
We carried the color story of russet orange into the master bedroom. Faux silk curtains in a taupe tone play well with others, especially this orange. A nubby throw inhabits the foot of the bed.
A vintage dresser and lamp finish out the space, and framed neutral-tone etchings soothe and calm. Simple baskets decorate the dresser top and an African basket holds a cache of books.
A modern tripod table and vintage lamp elevated by white books to one side of the bed (IKEA's MALM).
We found the orange crewel work pillow at Home Goods. Its texture plays well against the solid orange silk pillow behind it.
efore you even set foot inside the Altadena home we recently staged, you're met with a cute updated traditional exterior and a bright red front door. Sure, lots of people paint their front doors red. But what makes this home unique is that the door is painted red on the inside as well. Many might think this an obstacle to their design plan. We considered it a great opportunity. Our first thoughts were: Let's pull together our bright red furniture, art and accent pieces… We can finally use them here with abandon!
We started the living room design with the grounding influence of a dark brown sofa, then added a Fair Isle-influenced kilim rug in soft tones of blue, green and tan. A handmade reclaimed wood coffee table takes center stage.
Here's a view into the living room…
Over the mantel, we chose a Picasso print with red, blue and tan colors to carry the red across the room. A small-scale white slip-covered lounge chair and a traditional cottage-style floor lamp lend a cozy factor.
The reclaimed wood table was a craigslist find.
The small red side table was sourced at Crate and Barrel. We found the rug at Target. Blue and red books on the coffee table echo the tones in the art.
Is there a better way to use red in a room than via a red Modernica Eames style molded plastic rocker? We think not. Topped with a white sheepskin, it's virtually begging to be sat in.
We paired the Modernica rocker with our tree stump side table on casters, the unofficial mascot of Madison Modern Home.
A wicker elephant and a Jonathan Adler vase on the mantel. Below, a view into the kitchen.
We pulled a couple of counter-height bar stools up to the granite breakfast bar
Closeup shot of a little wooden elephant box we found.
We styled the guest bedroom in neutral tones and carried red into the room via a bright pillow.
One of our favorite touches: a straw basket with a throw peeking out. We tucked some DIY book bundles tied with twine on the bottom shelf of the Victoria Hagan table we found at Target and reinvented in white.
The office sports an IKEA MELLTORP table used as a desk, a red Tolix chair, a retro starburst clock and various vintage accents.
The master bedroom's bright white bedding is treated to rich contrast with red-patterned kilim style pillows. We put an industrial gray Tolix chair in the corner for an earthy touch.
The bathroom is styled with simple global accents to complement the earthy textures and modern fixtures. We framed a 1950s face cream ad and put it over the toilet.

Ball State point guard Zavier Turner was announced Tuesday as the Mid-American Conference Freshman of the Year in a vote of the league's media members.
Turner, who was named to the MAC All-Freshman Team a day earlier, played a more prominent role than any rookie in the league. The product of Pike High School in Indianapolis was the Cardinals' starter at point guard from day one.
Turner's 12.1 points and 3.7 assists per game led all MAC freshmen, as did his 3-point percentage (.409), free throw percentage (.880) and minutes-per-game average (32.7). He ranks in the top 10 among all players in the league in each of those categories except scoring, where he can be found in the top 20.
"I am proud of Zavier for this well-deserved honor," Ball State head coach James Whitford said. "We put a tremendous amount of responsibility on his shoulders as just a freshman, and he handled it great. He ran our team, led us in assists and was one of our top scorers. He had a very good first year, and he has a bright future ahead of him."
Turner scored in double figures for the 20th time in Ball State's season-ending loss Monday at Ohio in the first round of the MAC Tournament. He finished the season with 362 points to rank fourth on the Cardinals' all-time freshman scoring list behind only Bonzi Wells, Ray McCallum and Theron Smith.
He joins that trio along with Maurice Acker and Jarrod Jones as Ball State players to win the MAC's top award for freshmen. Jones was the most recent in 2009.
Turner was one of the top outside shooters in the MAC all season, knocking down better than 40 percent of his attempts from beyond the arc all year long. His 61 3-pointers are the most ever for a Ball State freshman.
He finished the season with 110 assists, handing out at least five in six of Ball State's final nine games, including a seven-assist performance Monday at Ohio. He dished out a career-high eight helpers in the Cardinals' February home game with Eastern Michigan.
Turner was one of three MAC players to win awards Tuesday. Eastern Michigan's Da'Shonte Riley was named the league's defensive player of the year, while Akron's Jake Kretzer was tabbed the sixth man of the year.

EDIT: Price reduced, posted with photos on the new classified system: http://www.cadillacforums.com/forums/cadillac-fleetwood-classified-ads/396570-1996-cadillac-fleetwood-brougham-v4p-towing.html
I'm reluctantly selling my 1996 Fleetwood Brougham with the V4P towing package, which is painted Medium Marblehead Metallic (a beautiful silver-gray) with the matching Brougham vinyl roof. I just bought a house, and (not surprisingly) the Caddy doesn't fit in the garage. The car is too nice to not be garaged, so I want to find a new home for it. It has about 122,000 miles on it, and I'm only the third owner. The first owners had it for the initial 15 or 16 years of its life, the second owner had it for about a year, and I've had it for less than a year since then. It has never been driven in winter. The car is in excellent condition, especially considering its age.
Good stuff:
-Since I bought it, I've put new tires on the car (it was on the original whitewalls before that!) and I've also replaced the front struts, so it rides just like it should with the perfect amount of float.
-I also installed a set of remote electrically operated exhaust cutouts aft of the catalytic converters. Press a button hidden under the dash and it sounds like a NASCAR stocker. Press i again and it goes quiet enough that you wonder if the engine is still running. This installation was done in a completely reversible manner, so if you want to put it completely back to stock you'd just need to replace a couple of sections of the exhaust (they were nearing replacement time anyway) or you can just ignore it and never press the button, but it's a great way to surprise the heck out of people at stoplights.
-The left rear window sliders have been replaced. These are a trouble spot for these cars because of a bad original design that stressed the sliders unnecessarily in the tracks. I pulled the door trim and replaced both sliders when the window became troublesome to put up and down. I don't know if the other windows have been attended to in the past, but I can give you pinters on ow to deal with them if the need arises.
-The previous owner had the seat repaired in the normal wear spot where the extra Brougham seat controls can pinch the seat material on the side. He had an upholsterer sew in a new piece of material there. Most cars I've seen have split at that point, but you shouldn't have to worry about this one.
-I also put a custom trailer hitch on it (see more below).
Not perfect stuff:
-The rear vanity mirror covers came unglued; I've bought the adhesive to put them back on, but I haven't gotten around to it. Hopefully I will soon, and I'll be happy to attend to them before a sale.
-There are a few rock chips in the paint on the hood. I bought factory-matched touch-up paint for it, but again I haven't had time to apply it with the move to the new house. I'll include the paint, primer, and prep items in the sale and let the buyer handle that, because I want them to be aware of what areas have been touched up.
And don't worry: I bought a $300 Noah cover for it, so it's being cared for in the mean time. The indoor/outdoor cover will be included in the sale.
I'm also including a spare wheel with mounted tire, a spare power antenna unit, and the two-volume factory repair manual.
What works: power trunk pull-down, CD, tape, radio, Twilight Sentinel, all of the fiber-optic repeaters, both front seat heaters, all seat adustments. There's nothing non-operational on this car, which is rare for a Fleetwood of this vintage.
Extras: I installed a custom hitch receiver on the car when I bought it; neither of the two previous owners had ever installed a hitch, so it was never used to tow, even though it's rated at 7000 pounds with the V4P package. I only used it to tow once, for a total of about 40 miles. The hitch setup is easily removable with hand tools, so if you're not interested in using it or even looking at it, it'll come off with little effort. And you can be sure that the car hasn't been used or abused while towing.
And for those who don't know what the V4P package means or why they'd want it: The upgrades raise the towing capacity of the already stout LT1-equipped FLeetwood to an amazing 7000 pounds. Changes include a reworked heavy-duty transmission, a shorter final-drive ratio, heavier-duty rear air suspension, a larger alternator, extra engine oil and fluid cooling, and a large mechanical fan in place of electric units. Even if you don't plan to tow with it, this is the best accelerating and most robust Fleetwood setup because of the transmission, final drive, and extra cooling capacity. They're very rare, and I had to wait a year until I found one in such good condition. I encourage you to read about the package and let me know if you have any questions about it or the car in general.
Thanks for your interest, and please let me know if you'd like to know more. I will post some photos as soon as I can; this ad is partly meant to gauge interest.

Found December 31, 2012 on Celtics Life:
PLAYERS: Kevin Garnett, Rajon Rondo
TEAMS: Boston Celtics
TEAMS: Boston Celtics
I love Kevin Garnett. I'm sure I'm not the only one, but the reason I love him might be a bit different than most. It's the way he talks. Guy is just so damn passionate about everything, especially his basketball team. That's why following the C's worst road trip since the Civil War - it was no surprise to see Garnett come out after the game with an interesting perspective. KG was asked about the team's horrific performance on defense this year compared to year's past (the Celtics rank 18th in the NBA in points allowed per game this season. They have finished in the top 5 in each of the previous five seasons), and he didn't mince words, per MassLive.com. We built something here, I'm not living in the past or nothing, but the reason why guys came back and made additions to this team is because of what we built here. We've been known to defend. For some reason we've gotten away from that, so we've got to go back to our origins and figure it out. I told ...

"You want a physicist to speak at your funeral. You want the physicist to talk to your grieving family about the conservation of energy, so they will understand that your energy has not died. You want the physicist to remind your sobbing mother about the first law of thermodynamics; that no energy gets created in the universe, and none is destroyed. You want your mother to know that all your energy, every vibration, every Btu of heat, every wave of every particle that was her beloved child remains with her in this world. You want the physicist to tell your weeping father that amid energies of the cosmos, you gave as good as you got.
And at one point you'd hope that the physicist would step down from the pulpit and walk to your brokenhearted spouse there in the pew and tell him that all the photons that ever bounced off your face, all the particles whose paths were interrupted by your smile, by the touch of your hair, hundreds of trillions of particles, have raced off like children, their ways forever changed by you. And as your widow rocks in the arms of a loving family, may the physicist let her know that all the photons that bounced from you were gathered in the particle detectors that are her eyes, that those photons created within her constellations of electromagnetically charged neurons whose energy will go on forever.
And the physicist will remind the congregation of how much of all our energy is given off as heat. There may be a few fanning themselves with their programs as he says it. And he will tell them that the warmth that flowed through you in life is still here, still part of all that we are, even as we who mourn continue the heat of our own lives.
And you'll want the physicist to explain to those who loved you that they need not have faith; indeed, they should not have faith. Let them know that they can measure, that scientists have measured precisely the conservation of energy and found it accurate, verifiable and consistent across space and time. You can hope your family will examine the evidence and satisfy themselves that the science is sound and that they'll be comforted to know your energy's still around. According to the law of the conservation of energy, not a bit of you is gone; you're just less orderly. Amen."

A dark matter particle smacks into an average person's body about once a minute, and careens off oxygen and hydrogen nuclei in your cells, according to theoretical physicists. Dark matter is streaming through you as you read this, most of it unimpeded. Dark matter is arguably the greatest mystery in modern physics. Observations from multiple sources across a few decades now shows that most of the universe is made of matter we can't see — hence the name — but no one has been able to find it. One strong candidate for this dark material is called a WIMP, for weakly interacting massive particle, and there are a variety of observatories in Europe and the U.S. that are looking for these things. Some have found promising hints, but others have seen a whole lot of nothing.
Of the billions of high-energy WIMPs passing through a body every second, fewer than 10 hit a body's nuclei in a given year. But lower energy WIMPs make impact much more frequently, around 100,000 collisions per person per year. That's about one per minute.
What does this mean? Maybe nothing, in terms of impacts on human health — cosmic and solar radiation also rains down on us all the time, and it has many more detrimental effects. But it's interesting to think that we ourselves could be dark matter detectors.

Leftover Valentine's Chocolate? Use It to Measure the Speed of Light | GeekDad
If you're a long-time reader, you may remember the great leftover Easter Peeps microwave experiment. Well, today we're going to be nuking leftover Valentine's Day chocolate to demonstrate one of the constants of physics, the speed of light. Chocolate makes a very appropriate medium, because the heating property of microwaves was first discovered by a scientist whose candy bar melted in his pocket when he got too close to a microwave device being tested for use in radar.

"We are just an advanced breed of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star. But we can understand the Universe. That makes us something very special."
- Stephen Hawking quoted in Der Spiegel
"You know how when you work out there's that good pain? Not the "I think I just tore a ligament" pain but the "I am aware of my muscles' existence" pain? Stephen Hawking makes our brains hurt in that good way. He makes all the little neurons stretch for concepts that are just out of reach. He tries to put them within our grasp, too. But sometimes it just doesn't work, and he has to make a "briefer" version to ensure the whole class can keep up. Because he can do that." (teenormous.com)

Nguyen Qui Duc's Mountain Home in Vietnam
The New York Times 11.28.08
Vietnamese American writer Nguyen Qui Duc returned to his native Vietnam in 2006. A year later, he bought land in the mountains of Tam Dao and began work on a modern house of glass and stone. The New York Times shows us the spare and open home that the homeowner likens to a New York City loft cantilevered over a cliff...
There's a simplicity in the house — it is only one level and the homeowner used glass and stone so that he could employ local artisans for the construction. Check out the story of its unique construction:

I'm not normally moved to tears by beauty in design photos but these did it.
There just never seems to be an end to the beauty and creativity of architecture. This is amazing. The view from that lap pool must be breathtaking; as long as you have no fear of heights!
Much better than a hermit's cabin! All you need is that view.
Like Griffin, I had quite an emotional reaction to these photos.
I feel more relaxed just looking at the photos - I can only imagine how peaceful you must feel living there!
great place, great story
this is so wonderful, I wish I could jump in the pictures!
I think he achieved "living in the clouds" like he wanted.
Can't imagine I would ever want to leave, once there.
That view is breathtaking!

Call me a sad old gnome if you like (and at 70 years old, I am cracking on a bit) but when seeds starts to grow …. how exciting and magical is that!!! Just as well Margo finds it magical too …. but will she still be as keen when the vast quality of seeds she ordered arrive any day now. You see, she kind of got a bit carried away when ordering online. Click click clickerdy click… watch this space, as all manner of veg salad and companion plants will be germinating very soon in her loft. She decided to choose more unusual varieties that are not so readily available in the shops, and in a small garden would look more attractive too. Now keep your fingers crossed for fine weather this weekend…. we need Jerry to finish the greenhouse big time….. psst the cleaner comes tomorrow she will go mad when she sees what has been going on in the loft tee hee …..
Having carefully studied the instructions Jerry was ready to start building the frame of the greenhouse. Unlike the previous day all went well and despite the cold and back to front instructions the components of the greenhouse are ready to be fixed together.
Oh the sun is out, quick Jerry off you go…. but day went from bad to worse for poor Jerry. He first needed to drill into the concrete at the top of the garden but found his cordless drill couldn't cope and then the battery charger was dead.
So off Jerry went to B&Q to buy a replacement, he waited for ages only to discover they didn't have any in stock.
Okay never mind, we will use Margo's Dads drill, but no that won't do the job it isn't a hammer drill. This was starting to look like a Benny Hill sketch (cue music.
So back to B&Q … to buy new drill this time…. at the till oops no wallet embarrassment saved as Dad paid. Back home, extension lead anywhere? no…. off to Mum's then she has one. Lunchtime already? …… Okay now we are finally getting somewhere …. spoke to soon the new drill is broken …. great…. but luckily all drilling done. Base is down well done Jerry!
Well as predicted Margo finally got cracking this afternoon. She dragged Jerry to the garden centre with the promise of tea and cake in the teashop. Later they returned with seed compost, seed trays, pea seeds and a *pink* watering can!!. Good old Jerry carried the very heavy compost up two flights of stairs to the loft the temporary potting shed/greenhouse.
First she planted some early cropping peas "Twinkle"… did she buy them for the name I wonder? Then she planted California Wonder Peppers followed by 3 varieties of tomatoes. A beefsteak type called Costolto, Garden Pearl a cherry one and plum variety called Roma VF.
Predictably the cat joined us, he decided he would help by laying on each of the seed packets in turn.
All finished with a good water …
Well it has been a lonely few days here, Margo and Jerry have been off on a "Jolly holiday". I was left home alone with the cat, a house cat who has never been left over night on his own. Preparations for his "Macaulay Culkin" status, included the purchase of a Cat Mate Automatic pet feeder, which uses a timer to dispense food each day. So automatic food and his very own water fountain, to keep him supplied with fresh running water (I ask you how spoilt is he!) the Furry boy Tiger and I were left to our devices.
Between meowing (really loudly), climbing where he shouldn't and knocking things onto the floor he was mostly asleep.
I, on the other hand have been planning which seeds to start planting and scribbling in my brand new planting journal.
Flicking through my gardening magazine, I have seen my Must-do jobs for February…. Clear out shed, keep birds fed and watered, sprinkle slow release chicken manure around plants, sow early peas and weed around container herbs. Well the birds are being very well fed especially "the bully boy" Wood Pigeons, whose presence is evident from the wobbly state of the feeders on their departure. Shed is fairly okay, full but okay.
As for early sowing, today Margo is off to get some seed compost to plant her first seeds.
Happy Valentines Day to all you Gnomes out there, needless to say I am still waiting for the postman to arrive.
Jerry however is very much in the good books today with Margo, choosing the jewellery option instead of a new propagator as her Valentines gift. What a creep.
The lovebirds are disappointingly lacking in any gardening motivation today, despite the arrival of a vintage propagator from Grandma. She suggested that perhaps it should be switched off when they went out as it was quite old, but leave it on at night!!!!
Margo seemed worried they may burn in their beds (she was often referred to as "Danger at every Turn Margo")….. Maybe Jerry should have rethought the Valentines Day present after all.
DIY Jerry is all set to wire a new plug…. What could possibly go wrong…….
Jerry was busy with his screwdriver back in the Autumn, making raised beds for the new Grow Your Own mission. He even bought a special tool for the job…. and its an "impact driver" apparently. It grieves me to admit he made a good job and 2 more will follow.
Margo then planted some Purple Sprouting Broccoli, which has been snug under a blanket of snow for most of the winter.
Okay I admit it isn't actually my garden as such…. well I did say it was Confessions of a blah de blah… I did get rather carried away, I do love gardening it is my passion, but the garden is the domain of "The Good Life" couple. I am but a lodger in their garden. These two born again gardeners are trying their hands at "Growing Their Own".
You know the type a cross between Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall and Geoff(a few old pallets and you can make yourself a really smashing compost heap) Hamilton. I will refer to them from now as Margo and Jerry…
Welcome to my world and let me introduce myself, I am Graham the Gnome. I start this new gardening blogging adventure here with you on this grey, damp, bone chilling February afternoon.
Although I have always loved gardening, for a few years I have not had the time or space to indulge myself in my passion but now with a new garden I have a fresh challenge ahead.
Here I am looking proudly at the most exciting Christmas present a Gnome could get… yes under that tarpaulin is my greenhouse.
I have been waiting for the weather to change so I can finally construct my horticultural haven. With seed catalogues dropping through the door each page giving me endless choice of plants, seeds and essential plant growing paraphernalia, I am buzzing with excitement. Last weekend during a very brief respite from the snowy weather of late I cleared the top of the garden. I wanted the area ready for this coming weekend so my greenhouse construction could begin. I am not usually keen on gardening when it is damp soaking and drizzling rain outside but needs must.
Each day since I have been checking my thermometer and Accuweather praying for no more snow please. I may for awhile longer have to just look at my dream greenhouse instead…

For a very long time, Carrie was completely computer illiterate. She didn't really know how to use it, and she didn't really have the need to use it. However, she got the need when she started working as they required some computer skills, but also, she needed to educate herself so that she could surprise her husband, Michael. She realized that he had been spending too much time on his computer and that he wasn't as passionate about her like he used to be.
Therefore, she decided to learn how to use a computer to have more things in common with him. Carrie took the course and learned the basics. Among other things, she learned how to browse the internet. She practiced at home and then she went to the History in order to delete the traces that she even touched the computer. It was there that she found Michael spent a whole lot of time on a site called www.jonnytube.com. Wanting to know what could be so exciting to her husband, Carrie opened the site.
These jonnytube porn videos appeared all over the screen. At first, Carrie was in shock! She closed the computer down. Then she realized – that her chance to learn more about Michael's fantasies and desires. She turned the computer back on and clicked on a video. It was about two lesbians licking each other and later on, fingering each other until they orgasmed.
Carrie felt that she could enjoy such a session. The fact that she kind of spied on her husband felt wrong and sexy at the same time. The adrenaline started working, and she realized that she was turned on by the video of these lesbians. The video showed a close up of a pussy being licked by another girl. Carrie got out of her clothes, licked her finger and began to mimic the way the tongue worked that pussy.
That made it easier for Carrie to imagine that she was the one being licked by that busty, raven haired girl. She was surprised how much she liked it, and she could feel her heart beat so hard that it felt as if it would jump out of her chest. Her pussy got real wet and she smeared all that juice all over her twat, thighs and every other part of her body that she touched.
The forbidden fruit of Michael's secret porn videos made Carrie masturbate with enormous pleasure. As the lesbians from the video started fingering each other, Carrie started doing the same for herself. She was way past the point when she was gentle with herself as she jammed her fingers inside her pulsating twat furiously. She began adding more fingers inside, one by one, until she thought she couldn't hold it in any longer.
That was one crazy, immense orgasm that came her way and it exploded, electrocuting her entire body. Carrie realized that she would have to give the same performance for Michael if she even wanted him back.
