HENRYVILLE, IN (WAVE) – It's been more than seven months since the March 2nd tornado, but with the help of hundreds of volunteers recovery efforts are still well underway. Habitat for Humanity is just about to complete a building blitz.
"We saw the devastation right after the storm and we thought it was really important for Habitat to make an impact because over half of the people that were affected by loosing their homes or having major damage were low income families," said Gina Leckron, Indiana state director for Habitat for Humanity.
Shirley Miller will soon call a house home. She and her two boys were living in an apartment when the tornado stormed through. She says it's the little things, like putting up shutters that only excites her more about moving in.
"It has been amazing, it has been," said Miller. "It's been so fast and there are so many people that don't even know us here helping."
More than 750 volunteers from all over have made their way to the Twin Oakes subdivision on Monday to help out.
"We have RV caravaners from Florida and Louisiana and Detroit and Des Moines and then of course all over the state of Indiana," said Leckron.
Five days later, 10 exteriors are almost complete. "Indiana code calls for walls that are 90 mph wind resistant, we are actually building better, we are doing coastal standards which are 140 mph wind resistant and we feel like that is going to keep our families safe in case something like this should ever happen again," said Leckron.
God willing it never does, Miller says it's nice to know there are people out there willing to help get you back on your feet.
"They're amazing," said Miller. "I've told every one of them. Everyone I see, I stop and tell them how much I appreciate them."
The ten families are expected to move in sometime before Christmas.

yes that is too long, assuming you can empty your mail box and reload load to banker in 35 seconds then it should only take 41minutes or so to collect 3550 glyphs, but without reloading, the game has a limit of 50 mails a minute so It would in fact take 71 minutes to collect 3550 mails from your mail box
Jack Kelly said...
There's a 60 second time limit on the mailbox. If you have to retrieve 3k glyphs that expired and you can only get 50 at a time, do the math. It takes a lot of time away from playing your "main" (unless you main IS the AHer).
I had a competitor that started camping the AH. Since I only post 2 of every glyph at a time, it takes no time at all to undercut him, get my glyphs from the mailbox, and move on. He was posting 5+ at a time and it took him so much longer that he got tired of posting and "mailboxing" and he started taking a lot more time off and camping less.
Waiting until you see your competitor canceling/reposting is something I like to do. If he's been on for a bit, I can time my posting to his canceling and get prices back up to MY fallback again.
Basil Berntsen said...
If you have the armory AH, emptying mail is a lot less painful. I will have to time it, but I suspect that each 50 mail come faster than in game.
@Basil - unless I'm missing something (and I've got the remote AH open in another tab right now, I looked), you cannot retrieve mail using the remote AH unless it's sold items or failed bids. That doesn't really apply to the current article, and I think if you were collecting sales for over an hour you'd probably be fine with that anyway :p

you CAN however clear an entire mailbox of 3000 glyphs AFK if you have an addon i forget what its called but they mentioned it on call to auction
anyway what it does is it constantly queries the server for more mail until you have no more mail remaining. get a full set of empty frostweave bags, set the addon up, then go watch *insert favorite TV show*

The FAA last week published guidelines detailing the prohibition of personal electronic devices such as smartphones, laptops and tablet computers, on the flight decks of Part 121 aircraft when the aircraft is in operation, unless those devices have been specifically approved for flight.

Ingenio Aerospace of Montreal and Texas-based DAC International are introducing at EBACE 2014 a number of Ingenio's "Smart Solutions" products. The Ingenio devices are designed to help aircraft manufacturers and interior refurbishment and completion centers deal with the rapid pace of smart-device technological change.
The suite of products–Smart Cabin Arm, Smart Cockpit Arm and Smartphone Holder–accommodates different formats and supports tablets, electronic flight bags, smartphones and MP3 players.
EBACE attendees are invited to bring their mobile devices to the UTC Aerospace Systems (UTAS) stand (3829) for a live demonstration of the company's tablet interface module (TIM). The demo emulates a real flight by piping in simulated flight data through the TIM, which is mounted both in a UTC VIP seat and in a typical flight deck configuration. Visitors can plug their mobile device into the TIM's USB interface to see how their apps display the live flight data and also stick around for a free battery top-off courtesy of UTAS.
AIN recently launched its updated news app, which is now available for all Android and Apple iOS smartphones and tablets. The app, previously available only for the iPhone, provides a real-time feed of all aviation news published online by AIN. It also includes exhibitor lists, exhibit hall/static display maps and other information at the airshows and business aviation events where AIN publishes daily print issues.
Three more companies have joined Greenwich AeroGroup's dealer network for the installation and certification of LiveAero Broadband satcom systems. They are West Star Aviation, with facilities in Grand Junction, Colo., East Alton, Ill. and Columbia, S.C.; Pro Star Aviation, with a facility in Londonderry, N.H., and Aviation Partners Group, with shops in Punta Gorda, Fla., Moscow, Russia and Kiev, Ukraine.
Ingenio Aerospace introduced a series of products designed to help aircraft manufacturers and interior refurb and completion centers deal with the rapid pace of smart-device technological change. Ingenio's solution replaces in-cabin connectors with a USB-based receptacle into which various smartphone or tablet arms can be attached. The arms, which can handle as much as 250 pounds, include internal wiring for device charging. Devices fit into an Ingenio SmartPlate, which holds the smartphone or tablet securely and also contains the connector that fits the device.
Jet Support Services, which provides hourly cost aircraft maintenance programs, has begun a new phase of improvements to its customer portal, MyJSSI. Enhancements include simplified navigation, a cleaner submit flight hours page, better contacts integration and a new minimum flight hours calculator. JSSI customers can access MyJSSI from their computers, or through an app on their tablets and smartphones.
Making its first standalone appearance at an international airshow here in Singapore, software giant Microsoft (Booth E63) will promote a variety of software and hardware solutions for airline passengers, staff and pilots.
"The key for us and the reason why we're engaging at the airshow is because we've been doing a lot of work over the past few years in the airline space and we see airlines as a tremendous opportunity for Microsoft," said Matthew Muta, the company's global managing director for hospitality and travel.
FltPlan introduced a free electronic checklist integrated with a pilot's flight-planning account. It makes completing the checklist easier by ensuring that no step is accidentally missed. Checklists can also be transferred to other tail numbers, shared with other pilots and printed out. The new FltPlan checklist program provides customers with a template checklist for a specific aircraft that can be customized for their specific needs either by adding new categories or eliminating specific pre-loaded ones. Users can look at the checklist on their tablets or smartphones.
Heads Up Technologies announced an agreement with digital media content management provider Red Touch Media that allows Heads Up customers to access its media library through the new Heads Up Lumin fiber-optic cabin management (CMS) system and wireless media server.

How Very Vermeer- An art Lesson on Jan Vermeer
Jan Vermeer
(1632- 1675)
Jan Vermeer was born to an art dealer father in the city of Delft in the Netherlands. His father's position afforded him an early advantage of contact with artists and art buyers. Vermeer painted mostly portraits, completing only 40 or so paintings in his lifetime. More have been attributed to him, but their authenticity can not be established. Other painters so admired his work that they tried to paint exactly like him and this has confused many art historians. It was some 200 years after his death however that the general public took any notice of his work and began to realize its importance.
Vermeer was very much a "starving artist". He worked hard to support his wife Catherina and their 15 children(only ten survived childhood), though it was never enough. The family lived with Catherina's mother Maria Thins and Vermeer still had to borrow money just to feed his children. Financial devastation overtook the family when the government allowed widespread flooding in order to rid the country of the Spanish that had overtaken their country. The family farm was destroyed, as was Vermeer's health and he died a short time later, leaving his wife a widow with ten children to care for all alone.
There was a time when his portrait work was in demand and evidence of this can be found in his paintings that have blue in them. The main ingredient used to make blue paint in this period was extremely expensive and most artists couldn't afford to use it. Another clue to a period of prosperity lay in the maps that frequented the backgrounds of his works. Having a map in one's home was an indicator of wealth, education, and possible world travel.
Only a few of Vermeer's paintings were not of people. Most were of indoor scenes with women, a window to the left of the frame casting a strong light on it's subjects.
How Very Vermeer- The Lesson Plan
Materials Needed
watercolor or cardstock paper
black Sharpie@ markers
oil pastels
baby oil
Examples of Vermeer's Paintings
Vermeer tended to paint indoor scenes. There was usually a woman or two strongly lit from the left by a large window. In some of the paintings he did there was a map on the wall and a diamond shaped tile pattern on the floor. In his most famous painting, Girl with a Pearl Earring, the subject is wearing a pearl earning (obviously) and has the color blue in her headdress.
These will be what the project needs to be based on.
The end result should be a a project with these criteria:
1. An indoor scene
2. One or more figures in the scene
3. A large window in the left hand side of your picture
4. A map of some kind in the picture
5. Include a pattern of diamond shapes somewhere in the picture.
6. Include jewelry somewhere in the picture.
7. Include the color blue in the picture somehow.
My suggestion is to look at as many Vermeer pieces as you can beforehand. Ask the students if they notice any other patterns in Vermeer's work that they may want to include in the guidelines.
If your students require more direction, then you can print out a Vermeer print and have them trace it to a blackline. From there they can create their own version on a new piece of paper(or they can use it as a homemade coloring page) and personalize it to her satisfaction. For the faint of heart in the drawing department, never fear, the desired result of this lesson can also be achieved through making a collage from Vermeer prints or even from magazines. This lesson is all about the "criteria". If your student has met all of the requirements in the guidelines, then their pieces are successful.
After they are satisfied with their drawings, they should outline all the pencil marks in Sharpie. Then they should color the pictures in with oil pastel. Once all the color is on, have then take a Q-tip dipped in just a little baby oil onto the oil pastel and rub it around. The oil breaks down the pastel into a more liquid, spreadable, and bendable form. Try to use a new Q-tip for each color and to use the oil sparingly as the picture can get greasy quickly. If it has too much oil, simply blot the page with a paper towel until the oil is absorbed. The Q-tips offer much more control than a brush for student hands. This is a great technique and I use it alot in my classes.
Hopefully your students will love their pieces and they will probably be able to tell you and everyone you know for a very long time the specific elements that help make a Vermeer standout!
Tomorrow I will post some of the student samples of this project.
A special thank you to Jessica at Art Smart for Kids fro her great post on Vermeer which inspired this lesson!

I have never used the baby oil and Q-tip technique but it sounds like it would create a very shiny, oil-paintinglike picture.
You're so right about the effect of using criteria. Your students will remember for a long time Vermeer and what set him apart from others!

Thank you for over 9.3 million views of the SuccuWiki!
Succubus (Confrontation)
For other uses of the word Succubus, see Succubus (disambiguation).
Confrontation is a game produced by Rackham. It is a universe of myths and legends, where warriors, magicians and fantastic creatures fight relentlessly. Players are the commander of these armies within the game.
Further data on this character class is needed for this entry!
Character Story
The Succubi
"The appearance of these creatures is undeniably alluring to the commoner, yet one must fear them like the plague. The demons called succubi are not only enthralling, they are also wicked beyond imagination and they will use every bit of cunning they have to achieve their goal.
Their ability to fly added to their fighting skills would be enough to convince anyone of the danger these minions of Darkness represent. But their great force is invisible to the eye: the succubi are also accomplished magicians whose skills are particularly deadly to individuals of the male gender who they render totally unable to fight.
Thus, I strongly recommend that they should be systematically hunted down and eliminated. Moreover, I require that individuals holding capital information concerning the crusades be assigned to the close protection of exorcists licensed to destroy such impious creatures."
–Eschelius´ report to the great Inquisitor.
A figurine of this character is offered by Rackham. The SuccuWiki article on it can be found here.

About 250 people gathered on Saturday in Evansville's Washington Square Mall to support Riley Hospital for Children.
It was the 21st annual walk to support Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis and the Riley Deaconess Clinic in Evansville.
The event was hosted by the Green River Kiwanis. Event chairman, Chuck Young, says over $20,000 was raised locally this year for Riley.
"We're trying to continue to grow it. It's an indoor walk for this purpose, that we kind of eliminate all the other walks or competition for them. So, we're bringing it indoors and unfortunately, we had a very beautiful day today, but we still had a good turnout," Young said.
Young says this is the second year the walk has been held indoors.

Sean Penn to go full-Liam Neeson in 'Prone Gunman'?
Film would be Penn's first full-fledged action film
By Corwin Neuse Nov 13, 2012 10:21PM
As Liam Neeson has unequivocally proved—in the "Taken" movies, "Unknown," and others—it's never too late to shed one's inherent respectability/Oscar-nominated track record to become a guts-and-glory action star. With "The Expendables" crew and the ultra-dignified cast of 2010's "Red" further raising the retirement age for shoot 'em ups, it seems only right for Sean Penn to want to get in on the action. And—at least according to The Hollywood Reporter—he may do exactly that, as he is currently in negotiations to star in "Prone Gunman," an action thriller that would have the Oscar-winning thespian playing a professional assassin betrayed by the covert organization the employs him. So sort of like "The Bourne Legacy" or "Unknown" only without the memory loss.
The film would be based upon a Jean-Patrick Manchette novel that's said to have a strong political undercurrent. Will the film retain the novel's possibly subversive message? Given Penn's history and well-documented political leanings, it seems safe to assume so. But let us not dwell on what's sure to be a controversial subject, and instead just luxuriate in the possibilities. Like how satisfying it'll be, or would be, watching Penn purr menacingly in a Clint Eastwood-esque growl, and punching foreigners in the face all over Europe.

Battered Sideboard Goes Blue
Primitive & Proper
When Cassie found this piece at the Salvation Army store, it had a broken leg and was in desperate need of some TLC. Between the mismatched wood doors and drawers, bland paint job, and boring handles, this sideboard desperately needed an update to make it fit for a modern home.
After fixing the broken leg on the sideboard, Cassie removed that beige paint by sanding the entire piece smooth. She filled in the holes from the old hardware, then custom mixed a bright peacock blue paint. Cassie painted the sideboard, distressed the edges slightly, and waxed the piece before adding bright crystal knobs. The final result is a bright and modern piece that would bring some life to any room.

I think I preferred it before...
Oh no... :o/
Not my cup of tea. I loved the mismatched wooden doors (and FYI: I am not against painting wood and think it's lovely if executed properly). I would've polished the drawers up a bit, possibly swapped the hardware with a modern update, and fixed the awful paint job. Maybe sanded it down and given the shell a dark stain finish. I think that would've looked quite elegant.
I love it! It's a great colour and I could think of many uses for it. Well done, Cassie.
ps: After seeing a close-up photo of the finished product on Cassie's blog, the blue she chose is quite lovely. I still prefer the original wood grain, but the photo here doesn't do the color justice. It's a very beautiful blue.
Can we just, on all future Before and Afters, have an automatic comment that says, "I like the Before better." It would just save time.
(I DON'T prefer the Before, btw!! That opening salvo just gets old.)
boo preferred before
I prefer the before.
OMG what did you do!!!!! Lost forever PAINTING WOOD equals DEATH
The after is so much fun. Grat job.
The close up picture on her blog is a much better representation of the after. The one here is very blah. Doesn't show the fun handles and the actual color looks dull. She did a good job and this will be a lovely accent piece.
Not sure folks are opposed to painting wood, lol. Anyway I like the blue, but it looks better with the different colored panels. I would love it if it were painted different shades of the same blue...right now I do like it though.
I read her blog post, and agree that it had to be painted. If it were my choice, I would have gone with a brown, black, or white instead, but the blue she chose is yummy.
Don't care for it. It looks cheap in the after photo. It would have looked better with a dark stain or something rather than paint, but as long as she likes it, that's all that really matters anyways.
I loved the look of the drawers in the before photo, but I'm glad Cassie was able to refurbish an old piece and turn it into something she loves. Also, I love that shade of blue!
I went to her blog and I really like the crystal knobs. The color is also very nice. I'm not sure I would call it "modern" at this point, though. It looks more shabby chic to me with the sanded edges, etc. I like it and think it looks better than the before.
I think it's gorgeous, but then, I'm a huge fan of painted furniture.
That whole natural wood/veneer/MCM isn't really my cup of tea, but then, isn't that the point? If we all liked the same things life would be extremely boring.
Agreed... Not modern, more shabby chic. I liked the before. However, if the owner is feeling it, more power to her.
Normally I don't complain about painted wood, but this piece looked so much better before. Only OK after.
I definetely preferred it before
Nothing against painted furniture, but I personally do not like the "distressed" patches with this special piece of furniture. I would see it in some Mondrian-like color-combo for instance, to enhance the layout of the sideboard.
I mean no disrespect but I actually thought that the before and after photos were mixed up. The after looks like what you would see on the side of the road.
Before it was modern, after shabby chic. I like the mismatch look before but it is a nice shade of blue. Not my thing, but as long as she is happy then that is what matters!
The before was so cool and unique. Could have made it modern just by updating the pulls. The after looks kind of too shabby chic and generic for me.
Honestly I think it looks like the before and after were reversed. Before it was cool. The wood was pretty. I guess it is true--to each, his/her own.
The after looks fantastic.
I like the blue, but why, oh, why would you cover up that beautiful wood grain?
Hrmmm, I'm not really crazy about before, or after. Seems like a lot of work.
Definitely check out the original blog post, and look at a close-up of the before. Not as cool as it seems here. So probably in real life the after is pretty nice.
I really like the design of the sideboard, what a great piece of furniture to find!
while i totally appreciate the feedback i don't think the true before comes through- the paint job it had was drippy and poor, and the handles were cheap 80's style wooden handles that couldn't be reused, so i would have had to find knobs that fit the whole space to refinish, which is what i originally wanted to do to the wood, but i couldn't due to that issue. just wanted to let all the nay-sayers know and understand the why!
the doors were probably just veneer, and it appears it was chipped up a bit around the edges before. I'm typically against painting wood but in this case the before wasn't very attractive to begin with, however I don't like the after either, maybe it's the color.
I don't mind the after, it definitely looks better on her blog. Might have been nice to keep the two-tone effect by painting two blues. One for the main frame and a second colour for the doors. But that's jsut my preference
But either way it probably looks great in a room with other elements with it. Hard to judge it without the context.
Oh, dear. It had character before, and now it looks like a thousand other things from Pinterest.
I like modern furniture when it's good, but wow, that original is just breathtakingly hideous -- kudos to you for seeing past the horrible surface! It's infinitely more appealing in the after; I like that slightly unexpected peacock blue and the crystal handles, and you can see the lines of the piece so much better. I personally find the distressing distracting, but like the above poster I'm just not a fan of that look. Great save, Cassie! I hope you enjoy living with it.
While I dont mind painted wood, this color blue combined with the shabby chic distressing is not my style at all. In fact the majority of AT readers would not/do not like the look at all. So my question really is...... with all the fabulous transformations that are out there; why would this piece show up on AT?
With that said...Each to their own. I hope Cassie truly enjoys the fruits of her labor. She is the one who in the end must look at it everyday. I also applaud anyone who saves a piece from destruction.
Of what benefit is it to comment that you prefer the before? Do you want her to sand it back, chip the edges, break the leg again, stick it back by the side of the road and repost it for you? And it doesn't make your comments less rude to stick the obligatory 'but she likes it so that's all that matters' at the end. People put these photos up for inspiration, not fodder for your incessant need to be harsh.
I think it looks great. I hated the before, and I probably would have passed it up in the thrift store. Kudos to Cassie for having the forethought and imagination to see that it could be pretty!
Also, I'd hate to see the homes of all these people that preferred the "before" picture.
I love the peacock blue color, I think it would be perfect for a dining room.
LOVE your comment @RuthTooth, couldn't agree more. I'm willing to bet the people who prefer the "before" 1. Still have wood paneling on their walls, and 2. Have never actually taken the time to salvage a piece that was headed to the dump and simply sit behind their computers being mean to total strangers. Cassie did a gorgeous job on this buffet and turned trash into a beautiful buffet. Well done Cassie!
Love it! The color is refreshing and is a huge improvement to the piece! Not an easy task, good job!
Hear hear Mandie and @ Ruth Tooth! Cassie did a fabulous job! Didn't anyone notice that the top an legs were already painted? And that it's near impossible to strip a veneered piece?
Love the after!
I was really taken aback at first by the "after" - thought it looked awful. But i think the biggest issue is the photography. The lighting makes it look flat and blah. The close-up on the link makes the work look much more charming.
Perhaps the combination of the bright color and the distressing is also a slight disconnect for people. You tend to see that "shabby" look with softer colors, as though the whole piece has been worn by time, not just the edges.
At any rate, chapeau! to anyone who actually strips, sands and paints multiple coats to anything in that kind of shape, and transforms it into a loved object. Hope your hard work is enjoyed for a long time.
I love when a neglected thrift store piece is transformed into a thing of beauty! Now this sideboard provides a lovely pop of color in a dining room. People in my area (DC metro) pay big bucks for this type of refreshed vintage and antiques. Great job Cassie!
I'll just ditto what I said on a different thread about a piece that was refinished rather than painted:
"I'm not a 'no paint' pureist. I do love to see a piece refinished in a way that shows it off the best way possible and that was certainly accomplished here. Beautiful job and well done on making the best call for what was appropriate for this piece!"
IMO in this case, painting was the way to go and it looks great! Nicely done.
watching a transformed thrift piece happen is always fun! i am a fan of painted furniture and this peacock color is very stunning! i do believe the only thing that is standing in the way here is that we need a better picture -- i think then many would be dazzled! i applaud the project and the creator!
before is MUCH better....
Add me to the camp of people who hates painting wood even if it is banged up, but in my opinion the before was nothing spectacular. It was pretty crappy looking. I don't like the 2 tone look, and if I was unable to strip the painted parts, I would have just painted it. Since it was so bad looking before, I'm all for slapping a coat of paint on it. I think I would have preferred it with more of a lacquered finish though and some modern pulls (like red or kelly green with chrome knobs). The 2 styles seem to be fighting each other a bit, but overall a huge improvement.
Note to the apartment therapy writer: anything "modern" about the piece is gone after the paint job. And it doesn't seem like that was the intent here.
That makes me very sad. The matching woodgrain on those drawers was awesome, as well as the hardware.
Howards Restor-A-Finish would have worked miracles on the before . . . the stuff is amazing with beat up wood.
BEAUTIFUL!!! What an awesome upgrade Cassie, love that blue you chose! And the combo of distressing AND crystal knobs...just perfect!!
Karah @ thespacebetweenblog
After seeing the pics, I had an instant reaction. Once I started to read the comments including the criticisms of the comments, I wasn't even going to bother to say anything but then I realized, I and probably others come on here to not only give praise to but also feedback and suggestions to the post.
That said, I think the end result is a little flat. What could enhance it even more is if the drawers and doors were painted a slightly darker shade of that blue or even a stencil of a design in dark or light blue. Also, I think if the hinges were replaced(those types of hinges are really inexpensive), that would also pop. Painted hardware is my own pet peeve.
These are suggestions that Cassie could use if she wanted to enhance it further without having to undo any of her work or that anyone with a similar piece could do.
I love that color blue, and I love the knobs. They work well together.
Hard to tell from a photo, but the sideboard looks like a hepplewhite that had been revamped in the 60s. Those are not mid century modern legs. I think I would have tried to restore it, not refinish it.
@Ruthtooth.....this is not a "yes wagon." When people post projects on a public forum, they should expect criticism. Yes, criticism can be gentle. It doesn't need to be harsh. But it should be expected.
Guys --
"It was a shame that I had to fill holes, because I would have liked to have kept the wood grain showing."
Before you jump to conclusions about the project, it appears that in order to fix the piece, she couldn't leave the wood as-is.
@RoothTooth, MandieM and Linda, I tend to agree that saying "I prefer the before" is not very helpful. But this is what one can expect when one's work is displayed on AT. I do, however, think that negative comments *with an explanation* are very helpful, even if they refer to the After photo...
I don't think that these projects are posted solely for the benefit of the person whose project is posted to gather reactions. Many people look at these photos and some may be *considering* doing a similar project. The photos give them a "what if" glimpse, and the comments provide general reactions and suggestions.
Glad she's happy with it, but I'd never have done the distressing on such a clean lined piece.
I love the color and crystal knobs but hate the distressing. I think it makes a perfectly fine piece of furniture look tacky. I never equate distressing with "bright and modern."
PS: I think Cassie did a great job on this piece. Do see the pix on her blog.
I love the wood grain on the Before drawers, but everything else is meh and I certainly couldn't think of an elegant way to retain just those drawers while improving the rest of it.
I think the after is incredible. On the link you can get a better idea of the color. The bright color looks beautiful with the clean lines of the piece. I really like the distressing and the transformation.
Job well done :)
I much, much prefer the "after". The before is just too 70's drab.
Are you sure you did not switch pictures by accident?
It seems to the After should have been the Before.
I have nothing against painting over wood anything. Not all woodgrain is pretty. So I applaud her for painting over it. The sideboard has good bones and was in need of an upcycle...
...I'm just not in the camp that everything needs to be distressed...why give such a modern piece a shabby chic makeover? It doesn't gel at all and just made the paint job look sloppy. Sorry. Color is pretty though just the application killed me.
She painted the furniture and distressed the people who saw what she did.
The before is awesome!
Ha! I had typed out almost exactly what Canadianmango typed then hit delete.
I totally agree!
Looking at the blog, I can't tell the condition of the center drawers, the I agree that salvaging needed to be done.
I would have been tempted to paint the rest a contrasting/complementary color like Navy, deep red or even Tangerine Tango, but keep and repair the drawers. Putting a similar veneer on the top would have been cool, but easier option could be placing printed paper/fabric under glass. Then it would be a matter of finding just the right drawer pulls...
For a shabby chic makeover, I think some simple molding would make it look more finished.
The color is stunning and the workmanship is outstanding. Cassie is a talented and beautiful person and this piece proves how fabulous she is with breathing life into sad, old, run-down furniture. Way to go, Cassie...way to go!
People saying that the "wood grain" should have been preserved are confusing to me. It looks like it's just some really crappy panelling, what's to preserve?
I love the new knobs, and the color is really pretty, but something about the final finish isn't quite working for me. Maybe because the paint looks so bright and new. I think it might benefit from a glaze? In that picture the distressing sort of looks like... well, like the paint didn't take.
What's not to love about a bright happy blue sky.
The distressing is completely out-of-place, given the clean modern lines of the piece and the color chosen. I'm all for painting old furniture, especially if it's not in great condition, but these results are meh.
Now, with a glossy lacquered finish, in white or grey or heck even acid yellow...
Are you guys kidding? The before is a total piece of crap. The after looks great.
Wish it were still 3 tones. Good work done though, I'm sure.
What Chesterandtrudy said.
Go over to the original post to see the beautiful blue color in a better light and the reason she had to paint over the veneer. I love seeing Goodwill castoffs getting a new life!
Oh man. Painting over the doors doesn't bother me, but not the Birdseye Maple!! Never paint over Birdseye Maple!
I assume some of you did not read the recent post from AT. This is supposed to be a fun, positive site. If you do not have something good to say, then say nothing. Be kind people...
I love the contrast of the distressed finish with the sparkly knobs. The color is enough to brighten up any room..........love it!
Great job, Cassie!
strange piece: before seems a mix of colonial revival legs & banding, w/an mcm front & 1975 drawerpulls (the drawerpulls had to go). would look better w/a dark walnut stain everywhere but the mcm front, to highlight the veneers, w/drawerpulls in the same holes, for balance, in 1940's/50's style. does not look better now; the drawer pulls are too small & not emphasizing the horizontal mass enough, and the blue looks better on the walls of the tv room post.
Humph... piling on makes for boring reading. Have a hot chocolate and a grumpy pill.
i really liked it. the after is way better. take a good look at the before. good job.
I love the after! That color is gorgeous and would add a pop of color to a neutral room!
Great job Cassie!
Not diggin' the after. Maybe it's the photo. If the after was in a room, then maybe it might look better. As it is, it's a miss.
The mismatched drawers are a design. The side drawers are boring but the center is nice. It's a shame to see them covered.
I agree with ChesterandTrudy. Seriously it feels like everytime I read a Before and After post on here lately, the fangs come out. I can't even imagine how she must feel reading these. There's constructive criticism and then there's just bullying.
Re-doing any piece takes a LOT more work than people realize. I personally would have painted the outside white, left the wood, changed the hardware to a stainless steel handle and kept the pull shape b/c it compliments the MCM feel of the piece. But it's not my room that the piece is going in. Maybe it suits her room better as she re-did it? You don't have to love it, but don't demean someone in the process.
The before was kinda great funky fun. The after would have been great if more skill
was displayed in the painting technique, possibly an undercoat of another color, then
the application of the top coat with the undercoat showing through. The distressing need to be in more spots, the knobs look cheap, maybe a coat of crackle...respect the experiment, just bad execution.
WHAAAAATTTT??? is the "before" the "after" photo? or I missed something?
Oh no. The before is so much better.
It was better before if you were going to paint I would have painted around the wood doors and made a dark red or brown lacquer finish...
would have enhanced and contrast the beauty of the wood.
The 'only say nice things' commenters are tiresome. Anyone who's been through a design review or an art critique knows that you'll get good with bad -- and it will make you a better designer/artist. It's a learning experience.
I think the before is hideous. There's no way you'd see that in my house as it was before paint. I think it's wonderful to give old DATED furniture a nice facelift. In this case a much needed facelift. It may have a ''shabby chic'' look but it's modern by the fact that it's not something you'd see in a episode of Mad Men anymore. I think she did a wonderful job and I love the color. It's fun, bold, and an awesome statement piece.
I only wish the burl veneer had been preserved (and yes, I have actually preserved punctured veneer when it's that rare and gorgeous by 'painting' in the correct burl pattern). Did the poster mention the piece was painted before? Was it painted 'wood' in the front that had to be painted over? Otherwise, I think it's a real shame. Burl veneer is expensive and hard to use properly - plus older pieces that are unpainted are hard to find.
in her blog she says - "those horrible handles needed to be removed, and holes filled. It was a shame that I had to fill holes, because I would have liked to have kept the wood grain showing."
um, hello, you idiot, get fittings that match the existing holes!!! or fill the holes and faux that tiny speck of grain with paint/stains!! youre insane for painting over those fronts. seriously. and yes, im totally being harsh... AND YOU DESERVE IT!!! ><
excuse me while i go beat my head on my table for an hour or two.
oh, and if you have a look-see at the pics in her blog... she painted the hinges. not only is it ruined with paint and then more ruined with that ridiculous distressing, but she painted the hinges!

Jon Fitch – heading into his World Series of Fighting 3 main event bout on Friday – recently made comments about the "hostile work environment" during his UFC tenure.
It's become the focus of attention leading up to his debut fight for his new promotional home.
As is often the case with employment debates, much of the talk has centered on money, but Fitch says that is not his focus. He took time on Monday, however, to explain his UFC finances to counter recent comments from UFC president Dana White that were critical of Fitch's complaints. White's comments centered on remuneration.
"There's been some talk involving money matters and me and some bonuses I've made over my career with the UFC," Fitch stated. "So I wanted to shine some more light on my financial matters to give the fans a better idea the type of money a fighter like me actually makes.
"In my 18 fights with the UFC, I was paid $1,020,000 – that was show money and win money. I also made about $300,000 in bonuses. Two of those bonuses were Fight of the Night bonuses. One was Georges St-Pierre, a $60,000 Fight of the Night, and the Erick Silva fight, that was a $70,000 bonus. So in total I made $1,322,000."
To most people, making over a million dollars sounds like a lot. And it is a lot of money. But Fitch continued, trying to put a little more perspective on the time it took to earn that money, adding that there were numerous career expenses paid out of that money before he could count it as his take-home pay.
"Sounds like a lot of money, but lets look at that a little bit closer," he continued. "Out of the 18 fights out of that $1,020,000, I paid 20-percent of that to management and the gym. So if you take that number, $1,322,000, divided by seven and a half years, I was roughly making just over $176,000 a year. Now remember, that's before management and gym fees. You also have other expenses you have to pay for, equipment, stuff like that."
In a direct shot back at White for using numbers to quell Fitch's complaints, Fitch went on to say he did some research on the money the UFC made off of the events in which he fought for them.
The UFC is a privately held company and doesn't disclose it's finances, but utilizing what unverifiable numbers he could find, Fitch concluded that the UFC easily made into the hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue during his tenure. He added that the UFC's revenues that he could find did not include merchandising or other revenues beyond ticket sales and pay-per-view buys.
More MMA
Fitch repeatedly stressed that, for him, it wasn't about money. He was more in a defense mode in outlining the way that a fighter such as himself was paid during his UFC tenure.
"I was one of those fighters that was on the medium-to-high pay grade because I won. I won consistently," he explained. "When you win consistently, your pay bumps up every fight. If you lose, you get stuck at the same pay scale. It's important to win in order to make money. Most fighters didn't make as much money as I did; that's a fact.
"Money was never important to me. That's not why I fight, that wasn't the point of fighting. I wanted to be the best in the world and prove that I am the best in the world. I don't know why money always gets brought back up with them and it's not important to me, but I thought it was important for the fans to know what the numbers actually are and to get some kind of perspective what fighters are actually getting paid.
"I've never complained about money, I've always loved the money that I made from fighting with the UFC, and organizations before I fought with the UFC."

If the "hostile work environment" comment wasn't about the money, how about telling what it WAS about then?
Wouldn't surprise me if it's all about some comments made about his Lay N' Pray style of fighting.
he did say what he meant by the 'hostile work environment'. He mentioned previously in another interview that he felt unwanted and that he was fighting for his job every fight.
What he means is that money wasnt everything (he enjoyed fighting) but he didn't get paid a lot.
Fighting is a tough business to be in man.
I also wonder if the earnings reported above are post or pre-tax…
"$1,020,000 – that was show money and win money, $300,000 in bonuses, $60,000 Fight of the Night and the Erick Silva fight, that was a $70,000 bonus. So in total I made $1,322,000." That would all be before taxes.
I don't care what the Fitch haters say, I appreciate the high level of skill in his fighting.
to all those people who complain about fighter pay…
All I know is that he's a hecuva fighter and shouldn't have been cut.
I hope fighter pay goes up for the top ufc fighters/belt holders, Anderson should make no less than 10 mil a fight.
that's a lot of money until you find out boxers can like triple that in.one fight
How many boxers can you name that make triple that right off the top of your head?
all I'm saying is look at Anderson Silvas pay he's been.champ forever now look at mayweathers he makes.more in one fight then all of the ufc champs combined ufc fighters for being professional athletes make nothing
yeah right !!!! most boxers get paid $500/ fight even champs make $10,000/ fight, remeber there are over 10 boxing organizations WBO, WBC, IBL, IBF etc etc etc
champion boxers make a hell of a lot more than $10000/fight..and top ten boxers make a hell of a lot more than Fitch ever did. There are lots of pro boxers, and they may fight in a little small town arena when first starting out for $500/fight, but once they are competing in a large organization on the level of the UFC, where it is televised, and on PPV, then even the boxers on the undercard are making over $100000/fight. If you want to talk about champions making $1000/fight, just look at some of the fledgling MMA promotions that are scattered all over the country. Boxers make a hell of a lot more than MMA fighters when you compare apples to apples.
Boxers on the undercard making 100,000? You're dellusional.
Just like any other sport,the huge amounts of money guys like Pacquiao or Mayweather earn is built over lots and lots of boxers earning way less.
Maybe some top10 fighters make over $100,000 per fight,but there are not as many as you think
You're delusional. Just one example from thousands…Ortiz vs Mayweather undercard…not counting any earnings from sponsors, etc., erik morales earned $350000
pablo cesar cano $100000
jessie vargas $100000
joseito lopez $30000
and that's just one undercard…from 2 years ago…and on that card the headliner mayweather made $25 million.
Im with you and just to inform you if you don't know already. Meyweather will always make over 20 million because not only is he the undefeated king of that division, he is his own promotion unlike others who have to pay promotors. And of course they will make huge money because the sport of boxing has evolved over years to wear all these fights are financed through cross promotions so there is a grip of money being thrown around. Eric Morales is a huge name but he had not fought in a while since that fight your talking about and IMHO he looked like age had cought up with him. I don't know if you saw the fight Suga Shane Mosley had with Canello Alvarez, but Shane went from making millions just a year earlier from that fight to 500,000. All in all there is way more money in WBO, IBF boxing organizations because it has evolved and they had been around for ever.
You, sir, are delusional and need to watch more boxing. $100000 isn't even a lot for an undercard boxer. I will cite just one out of hundreds of examples: mayweather vs ortiz, 2011, undercard fighter salaries:
erik morales $350000
pablo cesar cano $100000
jessie vargas $100000
joseito lopez $30000
and mayweather made $25 million on that card…if you compare the top 10 mma fighters in any weight class to the top 10 boxers in that weight class…the pay difference is ridiculous. mayweather makes more in one fight than Anderson Silva will make in his whole life, to put it in perspective. sorry if this comes up twice but my first reply got flagged for some stupid reason
Yeah but.look at the known boxers check what they make look at any other sport someone on the level that Fitch is should make much more
In three fights Micky Ward made 3 million dollars against Gatti. Recently Josesito Lopez banked over a million just to fight Canelo Alvarez. You are talking about new fighters that haven't accomplished anything yet.
In Boxing paying model, fighters always gets the big chunks of money in the table while in MMA, UFC for example, MMA greed model, always gets 70 per cent or more of the money. Fighters like Mayweather or Pacquiao earned a lots of money and even co-promote their fights and earn ever more.
well he should have beat GSP and been a reigning WW Champ,,, he would be making over $5 mil/ year like GSP
for the most part, he probably was unwanted – I know I never wanted him on my television
Very borderline income IMHO for the level at which he competed while staying in the win column for as long as he did. Doesn't exactly inspire the next generation to sacrifice their bodies, time and energy … unless one is more about testing one's limits, trying to be the best, to beat the best, and that song and dance … I suppose …
Pathetic really, I'm going to keep my day job. A lot of these guys are going to end up arthritic cripples. The abuse they are putting their bodies isn't worth it for that kind of compensation.
Well,because guess what? UFC is not about being the best and beat the best anymore.
Sure Anderson Silva and GSP make a lot of money,but they are the ultimate legends of the UFC.
While Fitch has an incredible record he doesn't sell fights.
Now go out there and look at the paycheck of guys like Rampage.
Hell,Rampage was a great fighter on Pride days and had a UFC belt…
Go look at Sonnen's paycheck!
That's why I pray for a better future to the MMA.
I have hopes on a merge of all small companies in order to make front against the UFC. Monopoly is never a good thing,and by the way the river flows soon the ufc will become the new WWE,if it isn't already
can't wait to watch "b-leagues united"
hating the ufc is getting stale
I don't hate the UFC,the UFC has the best fighters for every division. But it's common sense that monopoly isn't good for anyone other than the employer.
Monopoly isn't good from a financial stand point, but from a professional view it's the best thing there could be….how many heavy weight champs are there in boxing and which one is the best and that goes for every weight class….with the UFC everybody knows who is the best in every weight class, if ur not in the UFC ur only working ur way into it.
Every major sport in America is monopolized. NFL, MLB, etc. boxing is so widespread that a belt isn't even close to undisputed. I'm more than a fair weather boxing fan and I can't even keep up with all the hoopla.
The fans dictate the purse disparities. Sonnen is a genius at marketing himself and Silva is a genius at being the best, most exciting mma fighter ever. Lets thank Dana White that he makes fights based on the consumer, and the fact that skill level is outweighed by excitement. Otherwise our pugilistic highlight of the year would be watching mayweathers dodging counterpunches… Yawn
The fans do not dictate purse disparities, the fighters' contracts do, The UFC promotes it's own fighters, so it does not have to haggle with other fighter's promoters over who makes what. Also, there is no fighter's union. These circumstance let the UFC do great business and keep a much larger cut of the profits than occurs in boxing. And why in the world would you ever thank Dana White for making fights based on anything other than skill level?!? Are you thanking Dana White for the debacle that was Sonnen vs Jones? Maybe we should ignore rankings and just have fights that sell, and that way a fighter doesn't actually have to win…they can just smack talk their way to a fight like Nick Diaz.
The UFC is not a monopoly. Not by any definition of the term save 1, that one definition is "oh they're the biggest and i dont like them so they're a monopoly", and that definition doesnt matter.
The UFC does nothing to prevent YOU from starting your own MMA promotion. They do nothing to keep you out of the market. If you cannot compete with them, how is that their fault? Sure, they've bought a few other promotions, but the owners of those other promotions were not forced to sell by the UFC.
Everybody complains about the UFC and says that they're a monopoly and they rip fighters off, everyone except the overwhelming majority of MMA fighters out there. And the majority of MMA fighters who DO talk s*** about the UFC are the ones that either werent good enough to get into the UFC or were released from the UFC for whatever reason.
So, if the UFC sucks so bad, If the ufc rips off its fighters, if the UFC is any other of a number of bs complaints, why then is it that so many fighters, even ones under contract to other promotions, always say they want to get into the UFC?
The lesser known guys on the undercard dont make much money, thats true. BUT they make more than fighters in other promotions, in some cases more than the main card fighters in other promotions. The UFC also makes it very easy to get a raise every time you fight, and its pretty simple. WIN FIGHTS! Do that and you get more money every time you step into the cage. Not difficult. Guys that cant do that? Well, Bellator always needs undercard guys im sure…
But seriously, just once i'd like to see someone post who's taken the time to learn what the word monopoly means before they start their ranting
My job treats me like dirt too, but it would take me roughly 35 years to make 1.3 million. He should just stfu and be happy he got a chance to make that doing what he loves.
? he wasn't even complaining
Dude, you are an anonymous weekday poster on an MMA website that goes by the moniker of "cmc."
Jon Fitch is one of the best MMA fighters in the world.
You are a joe schmoe and get paid like one. Jon Fitch is not a joe schmoe and therefore has a stronger claim to make more than you.
So…your argument is completely dooomb.
I enjoyed that thank you
Who gives a crap what my handle is? Obviously with a name like "werdoom" u must be the most clever guy in grade school. Btw, i wasn't making an argument, it was a statement. U should focus on finishing the 7th grade before tossing out anymore insults.
so it's ok Dana is clearly ripping these guys off wait it must be ok he's doing what he loves
Just to clarify, I was only saying most people would claim they are not treated as fair as they should be by their employers. Fitch just made more money than most people will ever see in their life, and all he had to do was put up with a crappy boss. Boo effin hoo.
dude it's the principal of it there being taken advantage of he is a professional athlete on the highest level and made only that much money in like eight years if you can't understand that then no offense but your an idiot
No offense taken. This is just further proof that Fitch shouldn't bitch. Not only is he a millionaire, he also has a whole buncha fanboys out there ready to blow him at the drop of a hat.
Yeah, I agree with you. The guy made a lot of money doing what he loved, and on top of that, he as all these people rallying for him.
Fitch got cut because he was not interesting and he COULD have been. If he fought every fight like the fight with Eric Silva, then he wouldn't have gotten cut. The fight with Silva showed you could be a wrestler, and fight an awesome and entertaining fight. Unfortunately, that fight was the exception rather than the rule. It was just too much humping and booing from the fans for years. Then Maia embarrassed him.
Look, I will agree that the UFC pay scale needs to change for the lower and middle guys, and I will agree that the UFC is greedy in many instances, but I will not agree that Fitch needed to make more. People didn't watch the UFC because of him; they turned it off because of him. Why should the UFC pay six figures per fight for that?
You can't hold on for dear life, if you're not given the chance. It was good to see Hendricks test Fitch's chin. Welcome to the minors Jon!lol
Very wise of Fitch not to bad mouth the pay or make any negative comments. Sounds to me like he would like back in the UFC after racking up a few good wins outside the organization. All depends on his contract with WSOF. Honestly that's a great promotion but not for a former high level UFC fighter like Jon Fitch.
What he did say laid far more damage, imo. The facts are bad enough, all on their own. He doesn't have to play the bad guy because he isn't the bad guy
I like how he invites the public to look this up, themselves. In light of that, and the immediate questions raised once one does, I'm even more interested to hear UFC's answer (or lack thereof)
The thing that kills me about this talk of money is that these guys know what they are making and getting themselves into. If you work in a job that is not profitable enough for you and your family, then maybe you should find a different job or career. It also seems to me that the only fighters that are complaining are the ones on their way out or out. If Nick Diaz gets tired of salting fry's at McDonald's for 7.25 he will stock shelves at Wal-Mart for 7.66.
The other thing, it's not "work" for them. They're getting paid to work out, train, and fight. Something most of us do for free or even pay to do.
Now compare that to the poor guy at McDonald's. He's working his ass off doing something that sucks for minimum wage but does it anyway to support a family or earn his way. That's hard.
People need to put things in perspective and shut up.
Excuses, stop crying. win fights in WSOF an then come back to the ufc
The two things Fitch didn't mention is sponsorships and PPV money. The majority of equipment they use, clothes, pads, gloves etc, are donated by sponsors.
Also PPV money. This is part of their contract but it isn't ever reported as far as I know. Main event fighters get pretty good money from this. For example, in 2010 Brock Lesnar was paid 400k per fight. His total income for the year was $5.3 million…you do the math. Now Lesnar was a magnet for sponsors and PPV buyers, but Fitch was on some big selling cards.
You have to look at it another way… Each fight card there are at least 20 fighters involved. UFC would run out of money if they were to make everyone miliionaires… That's why I love this sport each fight card typicall has 3 bouts that I am iterested in vs. Boxing.
I remember him bitching about not being paid enough years ago. Here's the thing, Jon. You have to be a superstar to get superstar money. And only people with severe insomnia like watching you fight.
I'm no tax expert–if anyone is familiar with the area, I'm curious as to whether Fitch could (or maybe did) claim any of his management/gym/equipment expenses as a deduction (I think expenses > 2% of AGI are deductible; not sure if there is a cap).
Anyway, those saying fighters "deserve" to be paid more are missing the point. Deserve is a matter of perspective/personal values. Some would say teachers, first responders, etc. "deserve" to be paid more, while bankers, lawyers, and many pro athletes "deserve" to be paid less. The reality is that you're paid what you're worth to your employer (i.e., enough to keep you around).
In the case of the UFC, which is a near-monopoly, that value could be skewed. But the answer to salaries depressed by a lack of a competitive market is collective bargaining, which would arguably put downward pressure on the income of top or near-top earners like Fitch, to the benefit of the fighters earning 5-10 grand a fight. That's why you don't see many top fighters backing up their "I don't get paid enough" talk with calls for unionization (Tito was "thoughtful" enough to call for a fighters' union in the twilight of his career).
The bottom line is that you cannot compare the UFC's pay scale to other professional sports organizations for the time being. The company spends a lot of money on growth and maintains a fighter roster near the limits of its financial capability to meet the growing demand for events. The UFC is also a single private company, and not a consortium of owners like the NBA/NFL/NHL etc., or a group of promotions like boxing, which makes comparison even more difficult.
Bottom line is that "deserve ain't got nothin' to do with it."
For a top tier fighter the money he made ain s***! 20% management then almost half gone to the tax office. Please argue with me somebody!
Neither the UFC, nor any other sporting organization, should be a refuge for complacency, mediocrity (or slightly above mediocrity). If you want job security and consistency, you go do what we do; you sit behind a desk, or do hard labor and get up early every day.
If you want to make huge amounts of money by being an athlete, you have to do it by inspiring people; not cruising by on your wrestling by holding people down when you could clearly do more. Fitch just got too complacent holding people down and not doing anything with it. Most of his fights were decisions where the judges were forced to say: "well, I have to give this fight to someone; probably should be the guy who held the other guy down the whole fight."
As I said in another comment on this story, the Eric Silva fight was awesome. Fitch used wrestling in an aggressive and entertaining way. But I guess it was too much too late. Guaranteed, if Fitch fought every fight like that fight, he wouldn't have gotten cut.

TAG Heuer is iconic brand that is synonymous with time pieces, but phones, now that's a different story. However, the watch manufacturer has plans for a high end, virtually indestructible phone called the LINK.

You'll have your choice of finishes, of course depending on what you wanna spend, which includes steel, 18k rose gold, and titanium. Trim options include leather, rubber, alligator, leather and a variety of other materials.

The Bard's Tale
Pretty Good Game
I just started playing this game, and for some reason reminds me of the SNES - Ultima Black Gate than PS2 Champions of Norrath.
I would have replied to a post but there isn't a reply option, only new post.
I have the PS2 game but the camera is always high, looks like the PC version lets you come down and zoom in more.
I downloaded the PC demo after getting the game on ebay but found that I don't have DirectX Vertex Shader version 2.0 so it won't play at all. At least with Champions of Norrath you could get a better zoom and slightly angled view instead of birds eye only with very very slight zoom.
Yes it's quite disappointing that the camera is stuck in birds eye view, when the games dvd case insert cover show screen-shots at a much lower angle.

At that time the World Honored One arose serenely from Samadhi and told Shariputra, "The wisdom of all the Buddhas is extremely profound and unlimited. The gateway to this wisdom is difficult to understand and difficult to enter. It cannot be known by any of the Sound Hearers or Pratyeka Buddhas.
"What is the reason? The Buddhas have, in the past, drawn near to countless hundreds of thousands of tens of thousands of millions of Buddhas, exhaustively practicing the unlimited Dharmas of the Way of those Buddhas. They are forging ahead with courage and vigor and their names are known everywhere.

The first great Gate stood open wide. A voice came through that portal: "Hercules, my son, go forth. Pass through the Gate and enter on the Way. Perform thy labor and return to me, reporting on the deed."
With shouts of triumph Hercules rushed forth, running between the pillars of the Gate with over-weening confidence and surety of power. And thus the Labor started and the first great act of service was begun. The story that they tell carries instruction for the sons of men, who are the sons of God.
The son of Mars, Diomedes of fiery fame, ruled in the land beyond the Gate, and there he raised the horses and the mares of war, upon the marshes of his land. Wild were these horses and fierce the mares and all men trembled at their sound, for they ravaged up and down the land, wreaking great damage, killing all the sons of men who crossed their path, and breeding steadily most wild and evil horses.

If your vacation preferences include getting away from the hustle and bustle of city life, but you'd prefer more to do than lounge by the pool, taking a trip to a tiny town may be just what the doctor ordered. Parking's rarely a drag and crowds don't usually develop unless there's an annual festival or fair taking place. Ancient architecture, a vintage Main Street and disarming desert sunsets can be accessed in these three destinations. All of them are tiny. All have their treasures to offer travelers in search of a relaxing getaway.
Sirmione, Italy: Near the southern end of Lake Garda is the tiny picturesque gem of Sirmione. Once parked, you enter the town across a footbridge through the old castle wall. Easily strolled in a day, the islet offers a number of galleries, cafes, gelato shops and eateries along with free waterfront walking trails where you can stop to take a dip in the lake or continue on to explore the Grotte di Catullo, an extensive set of ancient Roman ruins. As you make your way back by looping through scenic streets adorned with bougainvilleas, take time to explore the tiny church on your right just prior to the exit and also spend a few minutes taking in the castle remains.
Another must-see area attraction is the Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden. The $12 admission ticket will provide relaxed entertainment for the rest of the morning and part of the afternoon with access to the orchid conservatory, willow maze a number of strolling gardens and two distinct hiking loops. For an afternoon snack, be sure to hit Tastebuds, which offers more than 150 flavors of popcorn you can enjoy while taking in the rest of the town by foot.
Tubac, Ariz.: An easy daytrip from the city of Tucson, the tiny artists' town of Tubac offers lazy gallery shopping with a funky desert vibe. Everything from giant clay pots and hand-forged iron furniture to custom jewelry and unique paintings can be found for sale here, as well as local cuisine and a mean margarita if one is so inclined. Attractions include the Tubac Presidio State Historic Park which lies on the location of the state's first European settlement. The park features adobe ruins, a furnished 1885 schoolhouse and other structures.
