The book begins from Santiago's point of view, as told through an omniscient narrator who describes what Santiago is feeling and thinking. This point of view reveals the subtle changes that he goes through and allows the reader to share in his insights and discoveries. The changes Santiago experiences are important to the theme of alchemy, and the fact that his perspective is dominant helps to underscore that theme. The narrative does not stay only in Santiago's perspective, but like a cinematic camera, the point of view of the story pulls away from the close-up scenes when necessary and shows a wider panorama of perspective.
Occasionally, marginal characters who are only in the story for one small scene will snap to the forefront as their point of view is referenced. For example, when the ticket seller at the port calls Santiago a "dreamer," his perspective gives...

The Crow Busters Forum Has Changed!!
As many of you are aware, we have had major problems keeping the old forum running properly and more than that, the old forum was lacking in many features that you have been requesting. So, we have decided to switch to a completely new forum. Some of these new features are:
1. The ability to send Private Messages to other members.
2. The ability to upload images into your post without first having to host them somewhere else.
3. The option to subscribe to a post and automatically receive emails when the post has been added to.
4. Being able to have lost account information emailed to you without waiting for the Crow Busters staff.
5. The ability to create your own personal Avatar (photo that shows up next to your name).
6. A new "Chatbox" to communicate with other forum members in real time.
The down side to this upgrade is that all existing members will need to
and we also lost all the old posts. There was just no way to import the old settings into this new board.
I apologize for the inconvenience, but I think you will all be glad that we took this leap once you start using the new forum. Good luck and good hunting!

Dare to Dream Big Dreams
Written on July 23, 2012 at 9:36 am , by thewannabeathlete
A friend of mine posted this on Twitter last night:
A dream doesn't have to be BIG to be a big dream. Big dreams come in all sizes
And it got me thinking about dreams.
I once dreamed I would become a pediatric oncologist. Then I realized math and science weren't my forte and headed toward the law degree I now have. I dreamed about traveling the world – and have had some pretty amazing experiences realizing that dream. I dreamed about moving back to my hometown and becoming the Executive Director of an amazing non-profit – and that dream has come true.
On my fitness journey, I've had a few dreams too. I dreamed about doing a sprint triathlon.
I dreamed about running a half marathon.
I still dream about running a sub 30 minute 5k.
Maybe it's because I'm pregnant and am "sitting on the sidelines" for the time being, but I really haven't been thinking about big dreams lately.
Maybe it's because part of me is afraid that I have achieved all this "wannabe athlete" is capable of achieving. Maybe I should leave the "big dreams" to others more athletic, more dedicated than me.
But then I remember that if I had that mentality when I started this journey, I still wouldn't be able to run a mile. I wouldn't know the thrill of crossing the finish line of my first half marathon. I wouldn't know that I really am so much stronger than I thought I could be.
So maybe…just maybe…it's time to dream big again.
What is your BIG dream?

Our adoption is independent, once contested, and open. On Friday it'll be finalized! The first time I met the judge (I believe) who will be signing our 'forever family' papers was under very different and frightening circumstances. We had the real chance we would not be able to parent our son. This judge was the one who would be deciding the case.
It was also the first time we met my son's biological paternal grandparents (and great grandparents, though at the time we didn't know that). That wasn't an easy meeting either, being as we were on the opposite sides of the courtroom asking the judge to rule very different things.
However, almost three years later, this time we enter the courtroom it'll be together and in celebration. Through the fear and chaos of the earlier meetings we reached out to strangers and they reached out to us and somewhere in there, we became a family.
Friday signifies the day we become the official parents of Craig in the eyes of the government. It's also a day of happy relief on my part. No more social workers (though we had some great ones!), no more home studies, no more worry something will go wrong and my son's adoption will never be finalized.
Friday we become a Forever Family.
It feels kind of like we're getting married. My parents, mother-in-law, Craig's birth mom and his biological paternal grandparents will be there. Of course, Jimmy, Jay, Craig and I will be there too. We'll be in front of an official and signing papers that makes our love for one another recognized permanently. It also signifies our commitment, though I don't believe the state laws have caught up with this yet, to our baby-in-laws.
Not that we need anything official to feel like family. We've been bonding as one for awhile now. It's just nice to have a day to celebrate it!

MIR UFO Phenomena
- Captainfuse
- uploaded: Apr 14, 2010
- Hits: 9
An investigation into Russian MIR space station phenomena. An analysis carried out on my favorite footage of MIR UFO encounters. You will notice how these objects appear out of no where and how they maneuver in weird, linear and non-linear fashions.
Majority of the footage has been fast forwarded and some footage has been slowed down to emphasize on these objects. This way a common peculiar UFO patterns have been discovered.
Last bit of footage represent an astonishing revelation of a very rare glimpse of a triangular UFO as it moves across an astronauts window.

LED Body Scale
• $48
• MoMA Design Store
Saw this beautiful, sleek scale at the MoMA preview and was surprised it didn't cost $200. Stripped down to it's essentials and in a vibrant red or white color, this is a smaller scale "scale" than typical and would fit snugly and attractively into a stylish bathroom.

Awesome!!! Thanks for posting!
I agree, they probably could charge more!

When I first started out in engineering, people would talk disparagingly about somebody being a "ninety-five percent" guy. I had one for a boss. He would assign you a partially complete task saying it was ninety-five percent complete. You just had to do the five percent that took ninety-five percent of the time.
In Agile development, a task or story gets no credit until it's completely done. This is an important concept. Done is often a lot farther than it looks. A developer may write a bit of code that compiles and seems to work. He may think he's done, but he's not done-done. The team needs do develop a working agreement of what done-done means.
Here are some articles on the topic:
Artem Marchenko's Definition of 'Done' discusses the need for such a definition and what it might include.
Chris Sterling's Building a Definition of Done describes a story of un-Doneness, and talks about a method to decide on your team's definition.
Payson Hall's Done and DONE-done points out that without a definition of done, you don't get done.
Jeremy D. Miller's "Code Complete" is a lie, "Done, done, done" is the truth describes how less than Done-Done is pretty worthless.
Aaron Ruhnow's Are We There Yet? lists his team's definition of Done.
Derik Whittaker's Definition of 'Done' offers another definition of Done.
Michael Nygard's A Dozen Levels of Done has another such list.
Michael "Braidy Tester" Hunter's You Are Not Done Yet: Developer Edition offers a tester's list of things a developer might forget to test.
Does your team have a working agreement of what Done means?

Now: 1 dungeon, 10 bosses, 10 + 25 lockouts = 2 lockouts and chances to get loot but not the same gear so people may roll in both because of that difference if you do 10 before 25 for whatever reason.
Cata: 2 dungeons, 5 bosses each, 10 or 25 lockouts = 2 lockouts and chances to get loot and it is the same gear so people won't roll in both.
So, it's not how much content per patch. 10 bosses is still 10 bosses. However, they are breaking it up to compensate for the fewer lockouts by having more lockout points. So you still get the same number of raids AND it's not the same raids in the same week.
I think I'll take this change.

By Steve Schwarz, Fantasy Sports Editor
Philadelphia, PA (SportsNetwork.com) - With the fantasy championship trophy on the line, one man stood out above the rest, as he has all season long.
Quarterbacks -
Peyton Manning, Denver - Manning finished the fantasy season as he started it - in magnificent fashion (35-of-51 for 400 yards, 4 TDs, 0 INTs). Sunday was his fourth game of the season passing for 400 yards or more and his eighth game with four touchdown passes or more.
Andy Dalton, Cincinnati - If not for Manning, fantasy owners would be gushing about how well Dalton played in taking apart a Minnesota defense for 366 yards and four scores. Alas, this is Manning's year and the rest of the quarterbacks in the NFL will just have to deal with playing for second-best.
Running backs -
LeSean McCoy, Philadelphia - It's as if the Chip Kelly offense was designed just for McCoy. But of course we know better having watched LaMichael James and Kenjon Barner perform in the same offense at Oregon from 2009-2013. The Eagles' running back leads the league in rushing attempts (287), rushing yards (1,476) and yards from scrimmage (2,012) - all personal bests. Sunday was another big-time effort as he rushed for 133 yards and two scores and caught six balls for another 29 yards (34 fantasy points).
Joique Bell, Detroit - After Reggie Bush was benched for fumbling early in Sunday's game with the Giants, Bell took over and played at a very high level showing everyone that he can carry an offense if given the chance. Sunday, Bell rushed 20 times for 91 yards and a score and caught 10 balls for 63 yards.
Wide Receivers -
Eric Decker, Denver - Decker has become a boom-or-bust player and fortunately for fantasy owners still alive for the championship round he blew up Sunday with 10 catches for 131 yards and a pair of touchdowns worth 34 fantasy points.
Pierre Garcon, Washington - Kirk Cousins was focused in on his No. 1 target for 60 minutes and it showed as he threw 18 passes toward Garcon. The Redskins' receiver caught 11 of them for 144 yards and a touchdown. In an impressive display of consistency, Garcon has caught at least five balls in all 15 games this season. His 107 receptions leads the league and broke Art Monk's single-season franchise record (106 in 1984).
Tight Ends -
Julius Thomas, Denver - It wasn't a great day for tight ends as no one managed to earn the 100-yard bonus, but Thomas was the best at the position with six receptions for 78 yards and a score.
Jimmy Graham, New Orleans - Graham did very little for three quarters, but came up big in the Saints' only touchdown drive with 62 of his 73 yards and the touchdown.
Kickers -
Josh Brown, New York Giants - Brown kicked three field goals from over 40 yards, including a 52-yarder in the second quarter, to stick a dagger in the Detroit Lion's playoff chances.
Defense/Special teams
New England Patriots - The Patriots already had the game well in hand when their defense and special teams put the "icing on the cake" with a fumble recovery in the end zone and a "pick-six" in the final two minutes of the fourth quarter.
And the winner of the TSN NFL Fantasy Player of the Week is ... Denver signal caller Peyton Manning. Manning was brilliant once again as he broke Tom Brady's single-season touchdown passing record when he hit Thomas with a 25- yard strike late in the fourth quarter. It was Manning's 51st touchdown pass of the season to go along with 5,211 passing yards. While other players have had pretty good seasons is there any doubt that Manning will win his fifth NFL MVP Award? He's certainly been the fantasy MVP.

The recent formation of the Zoological Society of East Anglia (ZSEA) has seen both Banham Zoo and its sister collection, Africa Alive! achieve full charitable status. This a very positive move for both zoos but there are obvious implications for the Friends of Banham Zoo (FOBZ), a charity that has supported some in-zoo projects and its in-situ conservation activities for many years.
All fund raising activities previously conducted by FOBZ will now fall to ZSEA to organise. ZSEA will continue to support both in-situ conservation and the activities of both zoos in the same manner that FOBZ has done for Banham Zoo during the past 16 years, this will in effect make the activities of FOBZ a duplication of those conducted by ZSEA.
Due to the similar aims of the 2 charities and based on the available resources, the conclusion reached by the FOBZ committee was that it was in its best interests to seek a resolution from its members that FOBZ be dissolved.
On the 17th April 2013, a Special General Meeting was convened where all members were invited to discuss the future of the charity. Having explained the issues to those present in some detail, attendees voted on the motion to dissolve FOBZ, this resolution was duly passed.
The committee will now seek to take the appropriate measures to wind up the charity but we would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone that has helped make FOBZ the success it was for the past 16 years, it has raised significant funds for conservation and for Banham Zoo and we all look forward to ZSEA picking up from where FOBZ has left off.
Any enquiries regarding FOBZ or ZSEA should be sent to firstname.lastname@example.com

Rep: Enrique Iglesias Will Honor His Nude World Cup Promise
Enrique Iglesias is about to put his money – or his naked body – where is mouth is!
Following Spain's victory at the World Cup, a rep for the singing heartthrob told Access Hollywood that the Enrique will honor a promise he made involving naked waterskiing.
"If Spain [wins], I'm going to get drunk and ski naked in Biscayne Bay," the singer told The BBC in June during the first round of the World Cup. "That is what we used to do when we were kids."
Now that Spain has clenched the title – with a 1-0 victory over the Netherlands on Sunday — will Enrique step up and strip down?
"A bet is a bet!" Enrique's rep told Access on Tuesday.
The singer's rep did not offer details on when Enrique's nude Biscayne Bay adventure will happen, but the singer's fans – and paparazzi – near the Miami area might want to keep their eyes open for the "Bailamos" singer in the buff!

Agathon #7 – The Murder of Roger Ackroyd [1926]
To me, this book is the first one that feels like an Agatha Christie – or at least, what I think of as an Agatha Christie. It's also one of a handful of her books where I knew going into it what the gimmick/trick to it was – as with The Orient Express, the solution to the murder is a matter of general pop culture knowledge.

Good Questions: How To Update Kitchen?
Heather and Johnny sent in a good question: We are moving house next month and while our new kitchen is MUCH larger and more functional, it's ugly! I am particularly bothered by the pennisula and the dark wood cabinets. Without painting the cabinets (we will be painting every other square inch of the apartment), what could we do to make it more live-able?
Email questions and pics with QUESTIONS in subject line to:
Should we remove the cabinet doors to create open shelving above the countertops, like we did in our current kitchen (photos 3 & 4 above)? Would changing the hardware be enough? Should we paper inside of the beveled cabinet doors?
Thoughts, ideas, and suggestions would be much appreciated!
Please share your thoughts with Heather in the comments below...thanks!
26 Comments
from the picture, it looks like the area above the dark cabinets is yellow, i would paint it white, like bright white b/c the space looks a little dark, maybe add more overhead lighting and under cabinet lighting, change the cabinet hardware to something clear and acrylic, like long cylinders or solid bars maybe get a tablecloth for the peninsula in a bright red or something - i would keep the walls light and just accent with color
I think the first thing I'd do is to remove that peninsula in the middle of the kitchen - It's not buying you that much storage and appears to just be in the way.
Secondly, I'd replace the dated and worn grey laminate countertops and blue backsplash tiles with something more modern - depending on your budget, plain white laminate or solid surface counters but without the 4" strip at the back, and a glass mosaic tile backsplash: perhaps a mix of white, cream and red? Some undercabinet lighting would be a great addition as well...
I'd replace the 70's cabinet hardware with something simple in brushed nickel to coordinate w/ your stainless steel sink - and get a new more modern brushed chrome faucet. Also replace the range hood with a microwave/hood to free up the counter space. I'd also box in that vent pipe above the cabinets with a soffit. Leave the doors on the cabinets - but definitely paint the walls, perhaps a nice pale teal and use red accessories for your accents?
Where the peninsula is now, I'd get a shallow and tall freestanding cabinet w/ glass upper doors - perhaps in a painted finish (Red? White?) to display glassware or set up as a little coffee bar or wine bar, depending on your preferences.
I agree with the poster who said to paint the walls a brighter white. It looks like the backsplash is a dark blue, right? I happen to like dark wood, navy and white. It's almost a nautical feeling (no anchors, just that kind of vibe.) Can you add a darker glaze ove the existing cabinets to give them more depth? That and some new nickel hardware would look sharp. What's killing me is the countertop. It really dates the room. If you're planning to keep that general layout, would you invest in some solid surface counters?
BTW: I just noticed that you have an Orange Kitchenaid Mixer - so make your accent colors for the tile, accessories etc. orange rather than red - and the wall colors medium grey-blue rather than teal.
I really think you should paint the cabinets, which is not what you want to do.
You may also remove the cabinet doors and paint the back of the cabinets.
I think since you're looking for something quick and relatively easy and cheap, you should paint the walls a bright, crisp white as others have suggested, and replace the cabinet handles with white ceramic or nickel hardware. Removing the cabinet doors and lining the insides with white contact paper (or something like that) would also brighten things up a lot.
I also like the idea of using bright, punchy orange accents. Neutrals just drag down the navy and dark wood. Those stools could be replaced with ones that are more minimalist, modern (like these) in white and chrome.
Getting rid of that peninsula is a no-brainer. I agree that another type of free-standing cabinet could definitely go there...a wine rack, bar cart, or even an ikea kitchen cart. (looks like you might have a steel cart in your current kitchen?) I like the blue tile, and I'm inclined to take off the cabinet doors, and paint the backs. Definitely change out hardware anyplace where you're keeping doors. Brightening would be helpful, but you can do that with great lighting, both overhead and under cabinets, and I'd lean towards color on the wall. Maybe a really bright ochre? Whiter, updated countertops, with maybe a steel backsplash and bringing in more steel with the cart, and with other accents., like your orange stand mixer. It's work, but it's not hopeless!
Heather here -- i apparently failed to mention that our new kitchen is a RENTAL. Thanks again, everyone!
Why don't you take the doors of the cabinets? Line the shelves and paint the back of the cabinets with an accent color or something like that. It'll brighten things up by taking some of the dark wood out.
I'm with bepsf!!
The only way to make the cabinets look less dark and massive is to make everything around them darker. The white counter is easier to replace than painting the cabinets, and less expensive. Ditch the peninsula entirely, and flood the kitchen with lighting.
The cabinets look like they are in great shape, a good murphys oil soap washing and new hardware will help quite a bit. Removing a couple of doors, maybe the ones flanking the sink, could help. Consider painting the kitchen the same blue as the backsplash. This will make all the white accents look brighter. I would paint the peninsula white also. It's a nice kitchen. Good luck!
A rental???
Then I wouldn't bother doing anything other than painting the walls...
ditto with "slowdown"s suggestions. orange accents (especially with that AWESOME mixer) are the way to go, with crisp white walls.
going back on what i said earlier. take of the cabinet doors. they're weighing everything down.
Yeah, if it's a rental, just paint the walls white (assuming painting is okay), switch out the hardware (you can always switch it back), and get some cute curtains (I would go with sheer white panels to let in as much light as possible). Oh, and different barstools. Some artwork over the peninsula might help too, to break up that big expanse of wall.
The blue tile is nice and I think it will look good with the orange accessories you already own.
i agree with painting the walls superwhite and giving the cabinets a good cleaning with murphy's or whatever you normally use as well as replacing the hardware. the navy and orange (of your kitchenaid) will look fabulous together--perhaps you can find a cute print (maybe even something vintage-y from sunkist or similar for kitsch factor) to be framed and hung above the island. add a pair of barstools (i believe ikea and west elm have some moderately priced models) and voila.
it's clean, well maintained and has a ton of cabinet space. not so bad...
nothing says you can't buy new cabinet doors. store the ones you have till you move out and then pop them back on. As long as you don't split the wood on the cabinet with multiple screwing and unscrewing and are willing to front the expense for new doors, you should be fine. Personally, I'd leave the ones below waist level cabinets as is, and swap out the upper doors for some frosted glass ones with lighter colored frames (light blue, light orange or just white). and if you're going for the orange accent theme, cut out some cute small shapes in orange contact paper and stick them to some of the tiles on the backsplash.
walls a light juicy orange or creamy lemon color, bowed satin nickel pulls, and a cute magnetic dishwasher panel like this one:
note: I really tried, but cannot find out where to purchase the panel from vincon but I think you can search for something similar on ebay.
then, I would just get some orange or yellow accents and just be cute and happy in your fresh new space :)
If you happen to love coffee...
Love your current kitchen, so am sure you will do something equally fun in your new one!
Here's my 2 cents worth though...
Hmm, if it is a rental, I would try to ask the owner whether he/she would be willing to let you update the cabinets by painting them... If you can get away with it, maybe paint the bottoms a charcoal grey (or a lighter grey or white), and the uppers a white.
I'd paint the walls a crisper (non-yellow) white, take the doors to the uppers off, and paper the inside with something bright turquoise to lighten the feel from the dark blue tiles.
Is it possible to put your microwave into the peninsula? (we have ours under our island -- works great!)
I would wallpaper the wall with the peninsula in this paper:
It look great with white, looks great with dark wood, lightens up the blue, and would be a fresh, fun look. (just one teeny tiny wall -- surely the landlord would let you!)
Good luck!
Your cabinet faces are outdated. I like the idea of removing top cabinets and replacing with sleek open shelves that span the whole length of the "L" shaped kitchen.
Depending on budget your tiles are outdated as well. How did these people sell you on this place? haha
if you can rip out tile that would be great as well. I think you should paint bottom cabinets as well as replace the doors. Update your hardware to something more modern.
If budget is small a simple white subway tile can replace the blue and I strongly recommend painting over the yellow unless you do a vibrant color above suggested subway tile to act as an accent whereas here it is not.
As far as accents and having fun with the kitchen. I am really a fan of chalk paint right now as a DIY for kitchens. I think the wall with the peninsula would be a great place for this once the peninsula is removed.
If the counter top is in mint condition I say why not keep it. counters can take a lot out of a budget. Better yet, save that project for a later date. If it fits into the budget to replace it a dark slate color of a solid surface would go nicely against the white subway tile and tie in with suggested chalk wall. I cant ttell waht your floor is but I am also into painting large squares of white and any other color like soft blues or tomato red (checkered) floors. If you do something like this than keep all walls neutral and light.
If you are dead set on not painting the cabinets than everything else MUST be updated and lightened to offset them.
It is a dark kitchen so lightening it up is your goal here. Dark cabinets are going to work against you.
Hope you got some great tips from everyone.
I moved into a house with the same exact kitchen setup, dark cabinets and all - minus the peninsula thing which, I agree, must go. Oh, and my ugly dark cabinets went to the ceiling which really cramped the place. I took the doors off the cabinets, painted the inside of each cabinet an unusual accent color, lined almost the whole back of each cabinet with a mirror (so the accent color bordered the mirrors) and painted the adjustable shelves the same accent color - top, bottom and front edge. It got rid of 90% of the cabinet doors (the corner cabinets kept their doors) and seriously brightened the kitchen while making it appear larger. The dark wood became an accent instead of a liability. I also got a center "island" on wheels for a little extra counter space / storage that can be shoved out of the way when I need walking space.
oh, and my counters are that vomit yellow of most places built in the 70s so you have some advantages I didn't have!
Thanks for the ideas, everyone! We share photos of what we did in September.
Heather Johnny
Personally, I don't mind the dark cabinets or the backsplash much, but I really don't like the countertop. I'd spend my money on a new countertop and new hardware, that way it's a relatively quick and easy upgrade that doesn't involve much painting/time. Decorating-wise, I'd definitely add a few colorful bowls or jugs to the tall space above the cabinets, and maybe install a more showy faucet (it's amazing how much of a difference the faucet makes!)
Good luck, looking forward to seeing the "after" pictures!

the true story of a murder, a mystery, and a masquerade
The true story of a young novelist who meets and befriends an eccentric, privileged New Yorker when he delivers a crippled hunting dog to him from an animal shelter, and later discovers that his friend was a serial imposter and brutal double-murderer.

A good enough read because of the different take on a popular (not in a good way) story. The timeline is confusing sometimes, what with the back story being weaved into the current story. I'd give it a 3 out of 5.
More of a self-examination book by an Elmore Leonard wannabe.
I agree with matcat44, but I did finish the whole bk. What the author is doing in this is "vamping", or trying to make more of what little story he has. I didn't really learn anything new about the rich & wealthy.
Didn't like the style of writing or the personality of the author, so I couldn't really get interested in the subject. Why put that pitiful little dog through such a trauma to please a (seemingly) rich man. Couldn't get past that, so didn't want to know the rest.
I could not put this book down! It reads like a thriller even though we already know the outcome. The author's introspection is especially powerful.
This is a terrific book that describes the amusing peccadilloes of its subject, the kindness of his marks, the brutality of his murders, the identity of his victims, and the literary and cinematic referents that drove his life, all interspersed with the insightful introspection and quality writing of one of his dupes, the author.

Wine Spectator
"The 2009 Barbaresco shows personality and good cheer with a good dose of dried fruit and savory spice. There are some elements that make the wine seem more aged than it really is. Cured meat and old leather emerge. But then the wine suddenly surprises you with an entourage of Nebbiolo-based tones like dried mint and licorice that tell you it still has loads of life within. "

"Still in need of cellar aging, this shows aromas of toasted almond and vanilla backed by notes of dried fruit, honey and cassis. The mouthfeel is beautifully firm and solid."

Forgive me… For I am a coward
Why is love so difficult. I always thought, as the guy who's always chasing, it would be simple to turn someone down. I was right of course, *SIDE NOTE* (Avatar Reference), until someone you really care about come along and you feel horrid regardless of how it was accomplished.
Two sides of the same coin.
After somewhat accepting the fact the love of my life didn't have reciprocating feelings I went through life finding women couldn't live up my standards (set according to her attributes). Then out of the fuckin blue new lady comes into my life. But I can't say anything to her. Scared of rejection? Probably. But I can't mess up what we already have for the slim chance we could have something more….
Could I?

Good Questions: Ideas on the Layout of my Living/Dining Room?
Hello AT,
I'm having a tough time with the layout of my living/dining room.
I'm moving to an apartment soon in a foreign country, and have no furniture with me.
So I'm starting with a clean slate.
I have a tight budget, but I do have access to Ikea.
On one wall there is a fireplace with built-in bookshelves.
The adjacent walls each have a door (one leads to the kitchen, the other to a balcony).
Along the 4th wall is a large window...
I was thinking of a couch in the center of the room facing the window, with a sofa table/tall table along the back of it that I could use as a dining room table.
I could eat, overlooking the sofa and out the window. I am trying to use 'good technique' and keep the furniture away from the walls... but with this arrangement my back is to the bookshelves/fireplace, and the doors...
Other, better suggestions?!
Thanks! Sarah

I'm confused about the dimensions of the room. Is it 12' x 12'? Is this your entire apartment? Do you need to fit sleeping, eating, lounging in this space?
Hi Laura,
It's just the living/dining area. There is a small kitchen adjacent to this room. Bedrooms are upstairs. As for dimensions, it's closer to 15 ft on the walls with the window and the fireplace/bookshelves and 12 ft on the walls with the doors. Thanks!
You don't say what your needs are other than a sitting and eating area - so I'll assume that you need to accomodate a TV too, but not a sleeping or working area.
On the left side of the room, I'd place a loveseat (not a sofa) with a rectangular ottoman instead of a coffee table. A couple small end tables (with drawers & shelves) and table lamps flank the loveseat.
On the right, I'd place an enclosed console for the TV/Stereo, books and storage.
In front of the fireplace, choose a pair of upright upholstered armchairs flanking a 30"-36" round table that's @ 28" high - This is your reading/dining area.
If the floors are wood, a rug that's at least a 5'X8' belongs in the sitting area - place the rug lengthwise across the room, narrow ends to the loveseat and console - leaving the space in front of the fireplace bare. If you can afford larger, do so.
Maybe a slightly unusual arrangement but...
1. Round Pedestal table (ala docksta or liatorp from ikea) directly in front of fireplace.
2. Sofa and two upholstered chairs (or two small sofas) facing each other, perpendicular to the windows. Anchor seating area with rug...
3. Dining chairs. If you tend to eat on your sofa when you are solo, the chairs could be lined up against the wall. So the dining table is easy to walk around on a daily basis (and less cluttered feeling). And then moved to the table when you have guests or feel like a sitdown meal.
It was a little unclear from your posting how large the room is and that (along with your desires) will be important.
Also, as I didn't get a feeling of what exactly you want to use that room for, it might help you if instead of immediately doing the mental furnture rearranging, you step back and think about about what functions that you'd want this room to fullfill: dining room for you? place to entertain your guests?
If you do plan to entertain, do you like dinner parties or cocktail parties (as in - will you be needing a big dining table)? Or is all of this irrelevant, as you are simply planning a retreat for just yourself?
Are you planning to have a TV/projector in the room? Do you have a lot of books that will need a place?
All of this will have a lot of influence over your choices, so I feel it's best to think about them prior to jumping in.
JenPDX i like where you are going with this! two small loveseats facing each other near the windows with a coffee table would be so cosy! and then the dining area could multi task as a work space when not being used for meals. the problem would be if a tv needs to be incorporated... they are always getting in the way! pesky things.
Slow day at work! You should either place a low bench or a armchair in front of the fireplace. at the south end of the room place a loveseat on the west wall and a dining table on the east wall... you can have two ottomans as a coffee table inbetween (Small tray on top to make it friendly for drinks to be set on top of). They can also be used for extra seating if you need them! (Storage too)
You should try to leave as much walkway space as possible between the door and the door to the balcony - you don't want to clutter that space up! The key is to have things be dual-purposed. Storage in places that you wouldn't think of! The dining table can be moved as well as the ottoman/etc.. for larger gatherings if needed. A rug really will anchor your "living area" so it can have a clear definition of space.
It would also be key to have a plasma screen on a wall or even over your fireplace so you wouldn't have to have a tv stand.
Good luck!
As unfortunate as it is, the walkway prevents you from having the arrangement around the wonderful fireplace (why on earth someone would lay out a room like this is beyond me). But, I would definitely leave the walkway free of furniture (so as to allow any activity from kitchen to balcony - dining or potting plants - to be easy and enjoyable).
I'm assuming the "doorway" is to the kitchen and the actual "door" you're showing leads to the balcony... Regardless which leads to the kitchen, I would start with the kitchen side: Just inside the room from the kitchen I would place a sofa or love seat adjacent to the windows (back of the sofa facing the kitchen wall). Place a gate leg table behind the sofa for dining and working (so, away from the wall, of course). Continue your arrangement from there (ottoman for coffee table, a couple of upholstered chairs with a table between).
It's a fairly straightforward arrangement, but I think this will allow you to keep your walkway open, as well as keep the views of the windows and the fireplace open to everyone sitting in the room, no matter where they are or what they're doing.
...just a thought since I had the templates on my desktop. Let me know if anyone wants links to the specific products used.

doctorew69 asked you:
hey Al, how many times have you used the bathroom in the past 3 days? and for how long where you in the bathroom?
Twice and I'm sort of scared about it. Everyone should go at least once per day right?
thehumanconsumption asked you:
Al madrigal!! . .was that you in the Workaholics episode with the Juggahoes and letts?…you know you were drinking a fresca or something with your face painted like a juggahoe
NO! But I'm a huge fan of the show. Think Adam Devine and Erik Griffin are very funny comics if you haven't seen their standup.
grizzledude asked you:
For Al Madrigal, do you consider a sense of comedic timing something that can be taught?
That's something that you have to develop. I've always thought comedy classes were sort of a ripoff.

Time for the annual Supercon Wrap-up! Once again I tabled with xNarlax and I had a great deal of fun. c: I always do when I'm at cons. I love meeting people and talking to people - and having a table makes it super easy to do both of those! I'm usually very shy so I normally wouldn't just GO UP to people, thus having a table helps break the ice. :3~ and despite some severe hiccups [ridiculous parking rates, broken up roads, and the awful layout of the dealer room/artist alley placement] all in all I had a wonderful time!
I just want to give a big thank you to everyone that stopped by and either bought a print/commissioned me or just plain said hi! It meant a lot, and still does!
I'm gonna start drawing at least a couple times a week to get back into the swing of things - I can feel I'm so close to improvement, I CAN ALMOST TASTE IT. I really, really love doing art and with this new job, I actually have time off [and don't feel dead] after coming home from work so I can actually do art! I'm taking one class during the fall [getting ready to apply to nursing school, woo!] so I can definitely hone my skills. c:
All the best to y'all!

May 30 OTA practice notesPosted by on May 30, 2012 – 5:31 pm
Despite a steady drizzle through the first half of practice, the Packers remained outside on Ray Nitschke Field for the entirety of Wednesday's workout. Here are a few news & notes about what went on:
–Not practicing on Wednesday were RB Alex Green, CB Charles Woodson, S Charlie Peprah, FB John Kuhn, LB Frank Zombo, C Sampson Genus, DL Johnny Jones, G Jaymes Brooks, DE Phillip Merling, T Marshall Newhouse, DT Mike Daniels, T Derek Sherrod and TE Andrew Quarless.
–With Newhouse and Sherrod both out, Herb Taylor and rookie Andrew Datko shared snaps at left tackle with the No. 1 offensive line. On the No. 2 line, Datko played LT and Taylor was at RT, so both players got quite the workout.
–On defense, LB Clay Matthews did not take snaps in the team (11-on-11) drills, and he was replaced by LB Erik Walden on the right side. Rookie Nick Perry remained at LOLB with the first unit.
–P Tim Masthay was at his best in the pooch-punting portion of practice. Masthay dropped multiple punts perfectly inside the 5-yard line with his Aussie-style end-over-end boots.
–Like last week, the young DBs continued to make plays, as CB Davon House broke up a quick out to WR Diondre Borel and then moments later deflected a deep ball intended for WR Shaky Smithson. Later, House was outjumped by WR Curenski Gilleylen for a nice catch. Also, S Anthony Levine nearly had an INT on a sideline route for WR Tori Gurley, and CB Jarrett Bush almost had a pick-six on a quick out for WR James Jones. Bush also deflected a pass in the blitz period that was nearly picked off by CB Sam Shields.
–QB Graham Harrell did beat the blitz with a tightly threaded throw to TE Ryan Taylor down the seam, an impressive play that left S Jerron McMillian and Levine looking at one another in the defensive backfield.
–In the locker room after practice, LB A.J. Hawk spoke to reporters about his new haircut. Earlier this spring, Hawk had his long hair cut for charity, and he and his wife are partnering with Wigs for Kids in an effort called Hawk's Locks for Kids, which will take donated hair to help make wigs for children who are cancer patients or burn victims. An event in Hawk's home state of Ohio is planned for June.
"I think they said it takes six or eight people's hair to make one wig for these kids, and with my ratty, terrible hair, they probably needed a bunch of extras in there," Hawk said. "So I didn't give them much, but I gave them what I had."

I sure am glad that Hawk is talking to the press about his haircut! Instead, he should be explaining why he is so inept as a ILB! Can't cover ANYBODY. He is a good tackler. But all his tackles come 5-6 yards downfield. He shouldn't be a starter, but TT signed him to a big contract last year, and stuck with him for this season. But the minute, the very minute, this season ends, they should cut Hawk!

I agree with Scott,
Well said. I couldn't agree more about A.J Hawk.
That is what this defense is missing the most, a dominant ILB like all the other great teams have.
By Mike on May 30, 2012 | Reply
Funny all the hatred for Hawk. The vitriol wasn't quite so much the previous year, when he had better cast of characters all around him. Hawk is an easy target, but he's not the only one to blame for the Packers' problems on defense last year. Just the most convenient, apparently.
By Derek on May 31, 2012 | Reply
Wow… easy with Hawk. I know he isn't the force that he was @ Ohio State, but he's very talented against the run and a great tackler. Before the draft, I was thinking that Bishop would be great opposite Clay as a rusher and rotate Francois and Smith in the middle. Those two are way to good to have sitting on the bench. Bish is amazing when he's blitzing, very instinctive and strong.

looks to me like perry will be a fit…….but the season may hinge on worthy…the def end from michigan…..hopefully hell turn out to be a stud
By gary ferguson on May 31, 2012 | Reply
just to clarify my remark……i was against drafting an OLB but i know i was a minority view….my concern is using your OLB's for your pass rush is a recipe to be beat by big plays from a good team….best pass rush is from the ends and tackles which we have not had in a long time……
By Eric on May 31, 2012 | Reply
Hey Gary,
Did you miss the memo. The Packers run a 3-4 defense not a 4-3. Pass rush comes from the outside line backers. The D-ends eat up blocks.
By Jeff on May 31, 2012 | Reply
Nick Barnett is a very good ILB, but when he went down in 2010, and Hawk was given his responsibilities, the unit seemed to get better. I think people forget how much of a loss Nick Collins was to the team. He was very fast, a ball-hawk, and a good communicator. I believe the defense will rebound this year, although Collins will be tough to replace.
By Kyle on May 31, 2012 | Reply
Hawk is a great packer, he didnt get a new monster contract last year, he got dropped by the team and signed a new contract the next day for less money.

Well said Eric.

Scott & Gary are obviously not educated fans.
By RedClay on May 31, 2012 | Reply
Hawk has been in the top 5 tacklers every year he's played. Seems to me that a team that struggles w/ tackling, would appreciate a consistent tackler.
By James on May 31, 2012 | Reply
Nick perry will give the D the much needed pass rush, opposite of Mathews. The safety is still a concern to me. Packers have a lot of young talent in secondary that needs to step up this season so Woodson, although I'm not exactly thrilled about it, can move to safety.
By nate on May 31, 2012 | Reply
Yeah all you guys getting on Hawk need to chill. I'll admit he gets beat in coverage about 60/40 but that is to be expected, he's a stocky run stuffer and disrupter, not a downfield speedy guy. Everybody can't be Jon Beason or Patrick Willis! Hawk is a solid tackler minus the LeGarrette Blount fiasco where everybody got trucked!
I'm not getting all this foolish talk about Perry either, like who in the world could be against that pick! The dude, on paper, is a absolute beast! I think he will pan out well. In the 3-4 sacks come from the OLB primarily, and occasionally the big guys! We definitely had to address the OLB situation! Great job TT!
By Gsmiff on May 31, 2012 | Reply
A.J. Hawk has always been a mediocre player IMO, and as far as him being a big part of the "D" I think not. I know a few of my fellow Packers fans don't have the same opinion as mine but hey it is what it is. "Go Pack Go."
By ernie ernie on May 31, 2012 | Reply
Hawk just can't tackle but I think he is afraid of getting hurt.
You watch him for ten plays and he is always the last one on the pile. The Pack need to dump him. He's not super bowl material.
By goatlava on Jun 1, 2012 | Reply
I'm surprised people speak of AJ Hawk as if he is an average linebacker. an average linebacker can at least make tackles before the other guy gets the first down. Average linebackers can break up passes on occassion to stop a first down. Hawk on the other hand is consistently 3 steps behind the 10 yard receptions where he then makes his tackles. His tackling numbers are completely misleading!
People say you cant cut him because of his salary. Who cares! I say cut him, put in a younger, hungry, and quicker LB who makes a rookie salary. There might be a few hundred thousand dollars extra added to what is owed to hawk but you'll have a much better player with the team being better off. Hawk has been overrated for years! iss him goodbye. Please!
By Ron on Jun 3, 2012 | Reply
Hawk will start a lot of people on defense stuck up the place he will be the starter! He's lead every year in tackles almost: always in the top three in tackles was selected to the pro-bowl when we won the super bowl!!! three interceptions tied all starting middle linebackers the year we won it all!!! take care go pack go. he will play better so will the defense no where to go but up!!!
