Jennifer Bowman: So let's cut right to the chase. In some of your recent writings, you've indicated that you're dealing with some serious challenges in your life right now. What are they?
Jason Miller: Aside from the systemic backlash resulting from my vigorous activism, I'm dealing with a number of serious personal issues. Some of these were self-inflicted and some weren't. Either way, I need to deal with them.
I was so absorbed in my activism for about a year that I let certain aspects of my life get away from me, in a manner of speaking. As many of you may have already read, I'm a recovering alcoholic (since 1992—hence my straightedge beliefs). However, I got away from some of my spiritual and intellectual efforts to manage my passion and set aside working the Twelve Steps, which tends to land me into trouble. Fortunately, I'm back on the path I need to follow, which still includes veganism of course, and have turned to the painful task of cleaning up my messes.
JB: What do you mean by "systemic backlash resulting from your vigorous activism?"
JM: I'm referring to the overt and covert ways in which law enforcement and the institutionalized animal exploiters have violated my First Amendment rights and imposed various forms of political persecution on me. This piece I wrote elaborates on both, "They cannot shackle the truth, gag those who speak it, or blind us from seeing it..." (http://freepress.org/departments/display/1/2010/3902) or at (http://www.animalliberationfront.com/Practical/Shop–ToDo/Activism/ShacklingTheTruth.htm)
Here is a quick summation, excerpted from that piece:
"What does each of these (my activist) actions have in common? They are non-violent and legal (excepting the one instance of civil disobedience). And yet, I am out-of-pocket $6,000.00 in legal expenses; was arrested and am on 12 months probation; am the subject of a year-long FBI investigation which has included visits to friends, AR allies, co-workers, and relatives; have a TRO against me (which I was too green to fight last year, not realizing that TRO's obtained against activists are a violation of our First Amendment rights); am fighting three additional TRO's related to the KU Med campaign; was a victim of serious First Amendment violations by law enforcement during one of our demonstrations; and am banned from the KU Med Center campus under threat of arrest for criminal trespassing, a misdemeanor offense which would be a violation of my probation."
JB: Why such a strong negative reaction to your activism?
JM: I don't know for certain, but I think there are a number of plausible explanations. Animal Rights activism in Kansas City was rather moribund until a few close local allies and I revived it at the beginning of last summer. That coupled with the fact that I reside in the heart of the Bible Belt (where anthropocentrism rules) and in the midst of factory farm country, make me and my aggressive agenda to agitate for Animal Rights generally unwelcome. Throw in my affiliation with the North American Animal Liberation Press Office and my philosophical support of militant direct action and you've got a "perfect storm" of suspicion, concern, and hostility brewing against me.
JB: In the piece you mentioned earlier, you wrote, "I recently learned that when law enforcement runs me in their databases, an alert comes up with my "FBI number," a warning from the Terrorist Screening Center that I could be on a terrorist watch list, and advice to law enforcement to USE CAUTION when dealing with Miller." What do you think of this?
JM: As I wrote in that essay, I think it's absurd. I battle the animal exploiters and the corruption of the system that enables them through protests, demonstrations, creative legal tactics, engaging the media, writing, publishing Thomas Paine's Corner, investigative work, leafleting, educating, speaking, and via the legal system. While I support underground direct action philosophically and by providing underground activists with a media platform in which they are portrayed as the freedom fighters that they are, I don't engage in such actions, nor do I know the people who do.
Allow me to reiterate, "While those with a vested interest in the ongoing torture and slaughter of billions of defenseless nonhumans portray and treat me as a criminal or potential terrorist, I am neither. I am a man who has responded to the call of conscience to become a voice, a writer, a publisher, and an activist for nonhuman animals. And so I shall remain."
JB: What is your connection with Walter Bond, the alleged "ALF Lone Wolf?"
JM: I have no actual connection with him. I wrote a prisoner support letter to Walter, as I have to many of our political prisoners. He has responded twice to my one letter. Both times he gave me permission to publish his missives, so I did. I've not met Walter, but I respect and support him, as I do each of our imprisoned comrades.
JB: What do you see as the role of Thomas Paine's Corner?
JM: Thomas Paine was a radical who was so far ahead of his time that he was essentially cast out of the pantheon of the Founding Fathers, despite the fact that he was the intellectual catalyst of the American Revolution with his wildly popular pamphlet, "Common Sense." I chose to name my blog after him because of his vanguard radical thinking. Many of the ideas that I publish, assert and advance on Thomas Paine's Corner (TPC) are ahead of their time, particularly the notion of Animal Rights and liberation.
TPC's role is to educate, inspire, amplify the messages of others, report on activism, agitate, and inform. While I find myself primarily devoting it to AR issues, TPC is still eclectic in that it supports animal liberation, anti-capitalism, Earth liberation, anti-imperialism, and human rights.
JB: Why the campaign against the University of Kansas Medical Center and what is happening with that campaign?
JM: I decided to launch a campaign against KU Med Center several months ago because their primate vivisection program had been flying under the radar screen far too long. They rake in millions of dollars in grant money each year to addict monkeys to morphine, subject them to withdrawal, infect them with SIV (the simian analogue of HIV), and drill holes in their skulls to do brain map testing. They were also cited by the USDA for an astounding 160 violations of animal welfare laws and have had a formal complaint filed against them (in May 2010 by SAEN) since they allegedly cleaned up their act. Their primate vivisection program needs to be shut down!
Three vivisectors at KU Med recently filed TRO's (temporary restraining orders) against me. This is a tactic commonly employed to cripple or shut down activists. I was hit with a TRO in our campaign on behalf of the deer in Shawnee Mission Park (aka Death Park) last year and a number of activists whom I know have been hammered with TRO's. My attorney and I are fighting these KU Med TRO's and will be filing a brief with the court making a strong legal argument that employing a TRO (also referred to as an order of protection) against an activist is a violation of the First Amendment. We are blazing a new trail and intend to set an important precedent for AR activists around the country.
In addition to the legal challenge of the TRO's, we have a host of other irons in the fire with respect to KU Med.
JB: What do you see as your role in the Animal Rights Movement?
JM: I am intelligent, persistent as hell, and naturally indifferent to what others think of me, which suits me well to be a writer, voice, agitator, street protester, and publisher on behalf of the animals. Based on my self-imposed trip to rock bottom in the early 90's and subsequent ascension to firmer footing via soul-searching, philosophizing, self-help, and cognitive and Twelve Step work, I also bring a spiritual component to the Movement, which I think is inspiring to some activists. I want to thank Steve Best, who was my mentor for a couple of years, for shaping me as a thinker and as an activist and for helping me carve out my niche in the Animal Rights Movement.
JB: What's the point of your "tactile activism" you've employed? Like pouring blood over your head and openly delivering a severed deer head to the people who were carrying out the deer cull in Death Park....
JM: My purpose in utilizing tactile activism is to take abstract concepts, like the blood and severed body parts of the animals whom people are killing, and to present them in a public forum and via the media so that people can experience the tangible results of the holocaust our species is inflicting on other sentients. This tactic has been controversial, to say the least. Even within the Movement. Yet I see it as another valid and creative way in which we can attack the prevailing paradigm of speciesism and wholesale animal exploitation.
JB: Last question. Will we win the battle for the animals?
JM: Ultimately, if we persist and our successors persevere, humanity will bring nonhuman animals into its moral sphere and grant them their basic and essential rights to live free of murder, torture, enslavement, and exploitation. For our species to survive, we need to adopt the non-exploitative, non-violent philosophy of vegan anarchism. If we don't, I think that the Earth will erase us from existence. Either way, it's a win for nonhuman animals.
Jennifer Bowman, TPC's senior associate editor, has been an ethical vegetarian for 17 years and a vegan for two years. Having realized that nonhuman animals experience suffering when she was five years old, she has empathized deeply with other sentients since a very young age. She has rescued many animals over the years and feels more comfortable communing with nonhumans than socializing with humans. She is a passionate Animal Rights activist and manages Thomas Paine's Corner's significant presence on Face Book.
Jason Miller, the Senior Editor and Founder of TPC, is a tenacious vegan abolitionist and animal rights activist who lives in Kansas. He has a boundless passion for animal liberation and anti-capitalism. Addicted to reading and learning, he is mostly an autodidact, but he studied liberal arts and philosophy at the University of Missouri Kansas City. In early 2005, he founded the widely read radical blog, Thomas Paine's Corner. Jason is an accomplished, prolific essayist and his writings on social and political issues have appeared on hundreds of alternative media websites over the last few years. He is a press officer for the North American Animal Liberation Press Office, and the founder of Bite Club of KC, a grassroots animal rights activist group which he started in Kansas City in 2009 and through which he and his allies give animal exploiters some serious hell. You can reach him at email@example.com
Jennifer Bowman: So let's cut right to the chase. In some of your recent writings, you've indicated that you're dealing with some serious challenges in your life right now. What are they?

Logan wants to defend the children. Cyclops wants to defend the species. Both of those views require a separation from the real world. The actual world. I believe in the struggle for mutant rights, but I also believe that part of that fight is interacting with the world so you can change it. You can't just sequester yourself from the outside world until it's the way you want it to be. You have to go out there and be a part of it.

Pink and Carey Hart were spotted going to lunch together in Los Angeles on Tuesday afternoon (December 22). After enjoying a delectable sushi meal, the "There You Go" singer and her BMX riding beau smiled for the paparazzi. Photos of Pink.
There's nothing timid about pop superstar Pink so it's not exactly surprising that she elected to get nude for her Who Magazine cover shot.
The "So What" singer covered her naughty parts for the sexy photograph which also happens to put her fabulous tattoo art on full display.
Her career never seems to cool off, and Taylor Swift's "Red" hot tunes have landed her at the top of Billboard's 2014 Money Makers list.
The "I Knew You Were Trouble" singer raked in $39,699,575.60 over the past twelve months, more than any other recording artist in the game.
Marking the 75th anniversary of Judy Garland's famous film "The Wizard of Oz," her three children came to the 2014 Academy Awards tonight (March 2).
After Liza Minnelli, Lorna and Joey Luft were recognized by Whoopie Goldberg, Pink took over the stage in a stunning ruby slipper gown to sing the movie's memorable hit "Somewhere Over the Rainbow."
Adding another popular singer to perform at its exciting awards show, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced on Friday (February 21) Pink will be making a special appearance at the 86th Academy Awards.
According to a statement from producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron, the "Try" songstress will be making a special appearance during the event on March 2nd.
She looked stunning at the 56th Annual Grammy Awards on Sunday (January 26), and Pink proudly brought her husband Carey Hart with her for her red carpet jaunt.
Unfortunately, the folks over at "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" thought that Hart looked like another tattooed star named Travis Barker and they mistakenly mislabeled the BMX hunk as the Blink 182 drummer in their live coverage.
They have a rare on-stage chemistry and Pink and fun.'s Nate Ruess were in fine form as they tackled a Grammy duet earlier tonight (January 26).
The "Raise Your Glass" songstress brought back her acrobatic antics as she floated above the Staples Center crowd in a Cirque du Soleil-style harness for her single "Try."
Looking forward to the star-studded evening ahead, Song of the Year hopeful Pink was the center of attention as she arrived at the 56th Annual Grammy Awards tonight (January 26).
Eager to get her groove on inside, the "Just Give Me a Reason" songstress was in good spirits as she mingled with fellow famous folks outside the Staples Center.
Taking to the streets for some family time in Venice, CA, Pink and her man Carey Hart took daughter Willow out for lunch on Tuesday (January 21).
Showing off her fit and trim form, the "Just Give Me a Reason" singer wore a black leather jacket and gray and white tank with a pair of matching leopard print shorts that showed off her lovely legs.
Enjoying the winter wonderland, Pink and her little girl headed back to their car in snowy Mammoth Lake, California on Wednesday (January 1).
The "Just Give Me a Reason" singer wore a puffy black coat, blue jeans, and beige knitted hat as adorable Willow excitedly ran beside her in a pink snowsuit.
Sharing some family sweetness for the New Year, Pink posted a heartwarming snapshot of herself with husband Carey Hart and daughter Willow via Twitter on Tuesday (December 31).
The photo featured the 34-year-old songstress and her family in a loving embrace in their home by a fireplace, writing, "Happy New Year!!!!"

BARCELONA, Spain, March 12, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Microsoft Corp. on Wednesday opened its annual Microsoft in Education Global Forum by emphasizing the importance of student privacy and reaffirming its commitment to helping ensure that student data is never mined for advertising and marketing purposes. The opening keynote speech, which took place in front of an audience of 1,100, including innovative educators, school leaders and government officials from nearly 100 countries, also saw Microsoft highlight its end-to-end, best-in-class solutions with student success and career and college readiness at the forefront.
"Privacy concerns are holding educators back from making the most of modern technology and preparing students to succeed in today's workplace. At the same time, many solutions being used in the classroom are unintentionally putting student data at risk," said Anthony Salcito, vice president, Worldwide Education, Microsoft. "The private sector has a responsibility to give educators the tools and resources that inspire real learning and have a real impact, while ensuring privacy isn't a barrier to bringing new and innovative technologies into the classroom. This is why Microsoft is committed to taking every measure it can to ensure student information remains safe around the world. We will not, under any circumstance, mine students' data."
Microsoft technology is used in 98 percent of schools worldwide. The company's end-to-end education solutions take the risk out of deploying the latest technologies and solve educators' most pressing challenges across the following key areas:
- Productivity and creativity. Microsoft Office 365 Education, an enterprise-quality communication and collaboration tool available in the cloud, is currently used by 110 million students, faculty and staff. This always-on cloud service guarantees that student data will never be mined for advertising. Student Advantage, available for free through qualifying institutions, includes the entire Office suite and more than 4 million students are already getting Office 365 Professional Plus from their schools since it was launched in December 2013. Microsoft Office has also proved valuable to students; a recent IDC study found Microsoft Office proficiency is among the top 20 skills required for high-growth/high-salary occupations.
- Safer, more private search. Bing for Schools ensures students don't see search ads when using Bing and also enhances their privacy by preventing the use of data to create ad profiles — all with no compromise on the exceptional search experience delivered. No other major search engine can make the same promise.
- Management. Windows Intune is a cloud service that allows school IT administrators to manage Windows, Windows Phone, Android and iOS devices connected to their network over the Web, eliminating the need to own each device or to use onsite servers.
- Professional development. Microsoft offers resources to train teachers on new technology, including the Partners in Learning Network that reaches nearly 1 million educators worldwide and includes online professional development, how-to tutorials, and learning activities created by teachers for teachers.
- Technology training. The Microsoft IT Academy provides industry-leading technology skills to more than 8.5 million teachers and students in 130 countries to help bridge the technology skills gap. In addition, Microsoft has helped educators around the world successfully incorporate technology into the classroom to enhance the learning experience for their students through programs such as Teaching With Technology.
- Device choice. Microsoft works with its original equipment manufacturer (OEM) partners to bring better choice and quality and more affordable devices powered by Microsoft software and services to market for educators and students around the world.
- YouthSpark Initiative. Microsoft's focus on privacy in education is part of its overall commitment to empowering youth through opportunities for education, employment and entrepreneurship.
"We've chosen Microsoft because the company provides an end-to-end solution that meets all our needs — innovative and secured devices, best-in-class productivity, and collaboration apps and comprehensive management capabilities. In addition, the company provides the training and resources our educators need to ensure that our technology investments are successful," said Clayton Carnes, school leader, Hermit Park State School in Australia. "Microsoft's unwavering commitment to student privacy is also extremely important to us because we can rest assured that our students' data isn't being mined for advertising and marketing purposes. This commitment really sets Microsoft apart in the market."
Other news announced today included the following:
- Pearson and Microsoft are joining together to create new applications and advance a digital education model that prepares students to thrive in an increasingly personalized learning environment. One of the first collaborations in the U.S. between the two global companies will combine Pearson's Common Core system of courses with the groundbreaking capabilities of the Windows 8 touchscreen environment.
- Interactive education technology company Promethean World plc has committed to developing innovative Windows 8 apps and Office 365 integration for its platform ClassFlow, a cloud-based, classroom tool that enables teachers to create lesson plans, connect and deliver interactive content across multiple devices, and assess student understanding.
- BrainPOP has released its third Windows 8 app, BrainPOP ESL. BrainPOP ESL is a comprehensive English language learning program that uses engaging animated movies to model conversational English.
- In support of its long-term goal to make all systematic knowledge immediately computable and accessible to everyone, Wolfram|Alpha will deliver 22 Windows 8 apps for tablets, including the Wolfram|Alpha App,16 Course Assistant Apps, and 5 Reference Apps.
- Knewton Inc. and Microsoft announced a global alliance to promote adaptive learning and support Microsoft's partner and publisher ecosystem in personalizing content for students.
- A global partnership with CK-12 Foundation supports the development of innovative Windows 8 apps to provide students and teachers with access to a rich library of K–12 STEM content at no cost.
Now in its 10th year, the Microsoft in Education Global Forum brings together more than 1,100 of the most innovative and committed educators, school leaders and government officials from around the world — including more than 250 Expert Educators and 75 Mentor School leaders. Each year, the Global Forum provides an opportunity for education's best and brightest to learn from their peers, share classroom triumphs and challenges, and collaborate to help transform education for the 21st century.
Microsoft's focus on privacy in education is part of the YouthSpark initiative, our global commitment to empowering youth through opportunities for education, employment and entrepreneurship. In its first year alone, YouthSpark created new opportunities for more than 103 million young people in over 100 countries around the world.
The Microsoft in Education Global Forum is supported by Platinum- and Gold-level sponsors Pearson, Promethean, Dell Inc., Intel Corporation, Acer and the School Improvement Network.

Dapper Day at Disneyland
Whether it's because of the excuse to dress up, to rebel against the everyday jeans and t-shirt ensemble or something more, thousands of people line up to attend Disneyland in elaborate fashion on Dapper Day.
So what is it like to walk around Disneyland during Dapper Day? Follow along with Times writer Rick Rojas:
Young men with knee-length basketball shorts hanging off their hips shuffled alongside dads in cargo shorts and socks pulled up to their shins. Moms, their hair pulled back in no-nonsense ponytails, trudged along in capri pants pushing strollers loaded down like the truck in "The Grapes of Wrath."
Check out the full account of the pseudo-holiday here.

Hi, I'm Eli.
Someday I want to figure out what "God" really is,
make a lot of music, and change the world;
but right now I take pictures for nightclubs.
[⌘+ and ⌘- to zoom.]
Nathan with his bikes, July 2012
2 strobes, two reflectors, one super-dim work light that you can't really see. More experimentation. I realize that the red is totally unmotivated, but when I saw the red gel I immediately went "THAT ONE!"… I thought I was on to something. Should'a used a blue/green one I think, but red is fast-looking. There, I motivated it. Does this make me motivational?
Nathan called me last night asking if Thomas and I could hang out, but since Thomas was in LA we decided to just take photos instead. We used to bond over music and things with wheels, including track bikes. Now I'm fully focused on music and photography, and he's working at a bike shop and starting a racing career in his father's footsteps. We haven't really been hanging out a lot lately, but being able to finally sit down, put a record on and take a bike portrait was pretty cathartic.
I get a little jealous at times because he has a job with a schedule and I have a "hobby" that doesn't pay regularly. More often than not, he's too busy to hang out because he's either working or training for crit. Luckily we still live in the same town and go to the same community college. We'll both be stuck here for another year (to my knowledge), which means we have time to catch up where we grew apart.

We debuted our custom Ace radios with Scotland-based Revo today when we swung the doors open at Ace Hotel London Shoreditch. Each radio in-room boasts a curated set of hot buttons that act as a portal to our favorite new discoveries and classic standbys, including independent radio, soundscapes and Monocle's round-the-clock coverage of everything on the planet. We want to treat your ears as well as we can, and the planet, too. These radios feature a digital amplifier that reduces power consumption but increases the amount of creative power in your own mind.
We'll be changing stations and sounds on the hot buttons over time. You can keep track of them all hear, just kidding here, and we'll be posting more about the waves in the air over time right here.
1 : KEXPBorn in Seattle, KEXP is our #1 homie. But we share so much beyond a hometown. Our love of music, discovery and community have made us steadfast friends and long-time collaborators. On the air for over four decades, this tiny radio-station-that-could started as a 10-watt transmitter is located on top of McMahon Hall on the University of Washington campus. It's since grown to one of the most celebrated and respected independent, community-driven radio stations on the planet. It won a Webby for Best Radio Website when the internet was just a wee baby in 2004, and even opened a branch in New York City, serving all five boroughs. For a few years, we've collaborated with KEXP to broadcast live from the lobby at Ace Hotel New York during CMJ, and we've made some really good friends along the way.
2 : NTS RadioWith their first radio broadcast just months behind them, London's NTS was born, in a sort of KEXP reversal, from the blog nutstosoup.com (now laid to rest). NTS aims to fill a void in the community of musically and progressively minded Londoners (and citizens of the world). A unique platform for inspired people to present their findings, passions and obsessions, NTS draws on local wisdom of the young and old in London from label founders to magazine editors to style icons to musical discoverers sailing the rocky seas of basement shows and pirate internet stations and tape deck-only road trips to bring the best and brightest to your ears day and night.

Monocle EIC Tyler Brûlé was kind enough to show us around the not-yet-open Monocle Café in Marylebone — the London counterpart to Monocle's Tokyo café and shop in the Hankyu Men's department store in Chiyoda-ku. Espresso, homemade muesli and symphonic salads will make a great introduction to desserts by Japanese chef Masayuki Hara — we're particularly looking forward to the macarons, green-tea roll-cake and strawberry gateau from Hara's own shop, Lanka. "We wanted to create a relaxed space for a morning coffee meeting, a lengthy weekend lunch with the papers, and a glass of prosecco after work too," Tyler says. Stay tuned to this channel for recipes and more from the Monocle team — they cut the ribbon this coming Monday.

My latest DIY was hanging wine crates on the kitchen wall. https://capeofdreams.wordpress.com/2013/01/21/no-whining-over-these-crates/
My favorite was the coat rack I made for my now husband for our first Christmas together. http://capeofdreams.wordpress.com/2012/08/10/homemade-coat-rack/
We're pretty proud of this Craigslist Score/ DIY combo! http://www.freshcoatofpaint.ca/2013/02/craigslist-score.html
I'm a dedicated DIY'er. Some of my favorites...
my pelmet board window treatments
my stenciled wall
my kitchen storage
my sew together rug
My favorite to date is our canvas chalkboard calendar:
I'm still in love with my dresser refinishing project that I completed last year - it makes me smile every time I see it - http://sweetsuite10.com/2012/02/my-thank-god-its-finally-finished-dresser-rehabilitation-project/
I've been plotting and planning, so hopefully next year I've got another contender for my favorite project!
Painted the entire house. Wow was it an undertaking, but every day now when I look at my home, I feel a sense of pride.
We re-worked the kitchen in our house on the cheap (for less than $1,000 over the course of a year.) We're never going to have a $30,000 budget to renovate it, so we're going to make it work! As always, there is still work to do.
I get so many compliments on my DIY doggie fort. Lola loves it as well :)
We also love our bowling lane bench and coffee table: http://www.freshcoatofpaint.ca/2013/01/7-reasons-to-love-reclaimed-wood_25.html#more
and our dresser-turned-buffet: http://www.freshcoatofpaint.ca/2013/02/diy-easy-buffet.html
We're still giddy about our dark and dramatic DIY wainscoting.
I did http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/diy-tangle-free-headphones-wit-162321 for my ipad charging cable and while it seems like it took me forever to complete, it was totally worth it!
I really want to see this one but the page is not loading for me. :(
Weird! It's working okay on my end, but maybe without a hyperlink?? http://www.chrislovesjulia.com/2012/10/our-dark-diyed-wainscoting-reveal.html
Proud of overcoming the fear of reupholstering an old chair...and loving the outcome!
I'm in the process of staging my overly-funky house for re-sale, and just put up a pretty sweet entryway system. http://bohohouseandhome.blogspot.ca/2013/02/before-and-after-foyer.html
I've also been working on the bathroom and it's pretty nice, too!
Definitely my completely DIY bathroom, well I use the term loosely as my dad actually did most of the work himself - I just made decisions, helped lift and hold things, and wrote the checks. This bathroom was so bad I couldn't use it when I moved in, now that it is done we are about to start on the guest bath. I love my bathroom though, it isn't super fancy and I couldn't afford to change the layout but it is super cheerful and the color makes me smile every morning. Since it is the master bath, I plan on doing a lot of the same things to the guest bath so my guests can experience the cheery yellow to.
We just made our daughter and 8 foot long floating filing cabinet desk. It was so desperately needed in her room and she just loves it.
My personal favourite for myself is our garden bed/trellis. This is my first backyard in 21 years and I am taking every opportunity I can to grow my own food.
I am pretty proud and happy about the craft desk my husband built [and i painted] last summer. http://www.cookbakesewcraftrepeat.com/2012/07/its-been-while.html
My husband and I completely redid a house ourselves, learning everything as we went along via the internet. In fact, we had a working wifi connection before we had a working toilet, which was handy because there is plenty of online advice on how to install a toilet. Here are our befores and afters:
Probably my kitchen pegboard:
I don't have a before shot, but imagine a blank wall there :)
It's a tie between installing new hardwood (450sqft) and 18" porceline tile floors (350 sqft) and landscaping 2 sides (so far) of my house from weeds and dirt. Doing the front this year and it's gonna be great!
Hubby installed the wood floors, I did the tile, the wood took about a month start to finish (4 hours a day after work). After we were done I said I'd never tile again in this life, husband said if I ever divorce him he's ripping up the wood floor and taking it with him. Totally fair.
I made this little booklet from scratch:
We made a headboard for about $20 and I LOVE it!
Hello Calamityayne,
Where did you get those fab boutique-style coat racks in your new and wonderful entry way?
Hehe, the amount of responses to this - people are really proud!
We did the whole gutting and renovation of our apartment ourselves, but the only part I still can't believe we did ourselves is building a brand new balcony (on the 3rd floor) and raising the roof by 20 inches + installing skylights in it - AFTER we recovered it - because we had no idea you were supposed to install skylights first.
Torn between the wall unit I made out of an entertainment centre, a bookcase, and some extra wood and paint:
and the slipcovers I just finished with a lot of blood sweat and tears (made by tearing up an old duvet cover):
Also the chairs I found and re-upholstered, backed by the mural my mom painted:
I can't choose!!!
Turning a side table into a pet bed is one of my favorites!
I also anted a very expensive tufted ottoman but made one myself for so much cheaper!
We're renovating our entire mid-century modern home so it's one project after another. Some of our favorites are:
Master Bedroom Built-In Dress/Vanity:
We build (DIY) a King-Size Platform Bed:
I tore out my entire closet and built a new one with lovely split level hanging and lots of shoe shelves:
And MY MOST FAVORITE was the renovation of our outdated galley kitchen. With custom cabinets, quarts counters, new lighting and fixtures... it was a little dream come true:
My all-time favorite DIY, is the shower curtain my best-friend and I made for our first apartment… a place where we didn't have any furniture or an answering machine, but it was the most fun either of us could imagine… I still have the shower curtain, and it makes me sentimental every time I read it.
My most "complicated" DIY to date has been refinishing an old laminate chest of drawers. http://www.hogaroso.blogspot.com/2012/09/hogar-dresser-makeover.html
In 2013 I want to up the ante and stencil a wall in our bedroom, and refinish a great large vintage dresser that has seen better days.
Either my Mondrian knockoff
Or the marble coffee table we built
I'm working on my very first crochet blanket! :)
By the way, I LOVE posts like this. Such a great way to find new blogs to follow!
Mine aren't major demolitions or building furniture from scratch, but they made me pretty happy. It started with reorganizing my spices and giving them a dedicated drawer, which then meant I had to find a new place for my measuring cups and spoons (hung sheet metal and magnetic hooks on the inside of a cupboard door). And while I was playing with magnets, I decided to hang magnetic strips to keep my recipes off the counter while I cook, recipes I had just reorganized into a new recipe binder.
So yeah, not huge projects, but between the four of them, they make my kitchen so much more functional!
Thanks for the great post. There's a wonderful world of DIY-ers out there and many interesting blogs to discover!
Hi JnJ
I work in retail, so my boss let me take them home from work. You could find somthing similar at a retail display store. I believe ours originally came from a store called WR DIsplay (http://www.wrdisplay.ca/catalog/) but you should be able to Google retail display + the name of your city and find something similar.
40' footbridge over the creek behind my house. Work-in-progress; still needs railings.
BTW, that was during a dramatic flood - usually the water level's a good five feet lower!
Happiest: building our deck.
Proudest: replacing our kitchen.
I love that story of the shower curtain!
The biggest project that we've done to date is a complete re-do of our daughters room: taking it from little girl to teen worthy. It's one of my favorite spaces in the house.
The simplest DIY that still puts a big smile on my face are these updated chairs.
But the one that still makes me laugh because of it's sheer ridiculousness is this one.
painting stripes on my ceiling - was a hell of a lot harder than I thought it would be.
http://tinkartist.blogspot.com/2013/02/kitchen-facelift-on-budget-that-is.html Just redid a lot in my kitchen and there is a step by step for each project and lots of photos. Please come on by!!!
My first major sewing project and the DIY project I am most proud of is a hot air balloon mobile for my baby girl. I made it out of organic cotton fabrics, 100% wool felt and all natural cotton stuffing.
I just finished reupholstering some old dining room chairs. It was time consuming but easy and came out great! It really brightened up the whole room! Wish I could upload a pic but I don't have a website.
Thanks for a fun post! I enjoyed getting inspired by all of these great DIY ideas...
One of my have DIY's that made such an impact throughout our home is a DIY on how to create sliding doors on tracks. It is like door art in your home! So beautiful. You can read how to make your own here : http://www.lynneknowlton.com/diy-door-track-hardware-its-dbomb-dot-com/

Well... I had to mention one more D-i-Y because this one has become an all time favourite by so many on my blog. They are grapevine balls and they look spectacular in your yard all year round. Easy to make and GORGEOUS. Here is a link on how to make your own : http://www.lynneknowlton.com/diy-grapevine-lighting-balls-what-a-bright-idea/
Create your own. Sit back...and admire your *balls*.
Cheers !
Lynne Knowlton from Design the Life You Want to Live
enjoying just reading all the posts and visiting the blogs!!! thanx.
Another proud one for me is my new bookcase that used to be a built in bar. As this area in my condo used to be the dinning area, but this bar was just awkward. As I dont drink and this area is in the process of becoming my office, I decided to make it into a book case. I drew up the plans and carpenter dad turned them into reality.
I'm also really proud of this easy, high-impact pixel painting: http://www.freshcoatofpaint.ca/2013/02/make-your-own-pixel-art.html
I'm most proud about my LEGO-themed shelves http://snp.gd/ta7rja which are next to my LEGO bricks storage http://snp.gd/ta53xu at my desk http://snp.gd/ta7ics
Have a look!

The Vancouver Giants annual Celebrity Dash for Cash is back this Friday night - January 18 - when the Giants host the Victoria Royals at 7:30pm!
During the second intermission, we'll bring 12 random lucky fans down to the ice where they will join a group of local media celebrities for this year's event.
15,000 frozen loonies will be spread across center ice, and our contestants will then have 60 seconds to pick up as many as possible. Fans will get to take home whatever they pick up, while our celebrities will be playing for their charities of choice. The Vancouver Giants will also match the celebrity totals as a further donation to their causes.
Global BC's Jay Durant took home last year's title after previous 3-time champion, TEAM Radio's Scott Rintoul, was unable to attend. This time around the tables will be turned - Durant is unable to attend in defence of his crown, while Rintoul hopes to make a triumphant return to the 'Rink on Renfrew'.
Here is a list of this year's media celebrities, along with their chosen charities:
How many loonies could YOU pick up in 60 seconds? Maybe you'll find out this Friday night!

For More Information
Call the Nazareth College Arts Center Box Office at (585) 389-2170

There are more than 300 songs featuring The Doors, Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Bruce Springsteen, and more. They range from a folk ballad released just before U.S. troops landed to a 2008 song about the aftereffects that veterans still suffer. Keesing put the collection together. It's a project he's worked on since the early 1970s, when he taught psychology courses to U.S. troops a few hundred miles up the coast from Saigon.
Nazareth College is co-sponsoring Keesing's visit with the Rochester Public Library, and the Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 20, in conjunction with the Rochester-Monroe County Vietnam-Era Veterans Oral History Project. To learn more about the oral history project, contact Rochester City Historian Christine L. Ridarsky at (585) 428-8095 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

For the second straight game, the Northwest football team knocked off a an undefeated opponent while remaining unbeaten for the 2013 season.Northwest defeated Keller 31-17 last Friday to move to 4-0 on the year and will square off with Keller Fossil Ridge at 7:30 p.m. this Friday at Northwest ISD Stadium."They throw the ball over the place," head coach Bill Patterson said. "They are really good. They have two great receivers. They have a really good quarterback. They've got a number of good players on defense, and it will be a huge challenge for us."The Texans defeated Keller by 14 points on Friday in a game where the two teams slugged it out in the fourth quarter, and Patterson said he did not expect anything different."I thought we played very well," Patterson said. "I thought they had a really good defense and they did a good job of defending us. I thought our kids did a good job against them. We took a 14-0 lead at halftime and led them 24-0 at one point."Then in the fourth quarter we both took turns scoring. They never gave up, and they played hard the entire game."With the second straight victory over an unbeaten team, Patterson said confidence is growing on his team."There is no question that we are playing with a lot of confidence on both sides of the ball," Patterson said. "We're doing a lot of good things and getting better. We have a tough part of our schedule coming up with Fossil Ridge, who has one of the most talented teams I have seen in the last couple of years."Dennis Adrole rushed for 129 yards and a touchdown against Keller."He has been running real hard," Patterson said. "He ran really well against Midlothian, and I think it was one of those things where he got into rhythm and ran pretty good."• Over at Nelson, the Bobcats came up short on Friday night in a 32-22 loss to Wichita Falls Rider.Esteban Ortega actually put Nelson up 7-0 to start the game off on a nine-yard run in the first quarter, but the Bobcats trailed 14-7 at halftime.Ortega tied the game up again on a four-yard run in the third quarter, but Rider answered with a touchdown of its own to regain the lead late in the third quarter.Ortega drew the game even once again early in the fourth on a one-yard run, before Rider scored 10 unanswered points to get the victory.Nelson will play at Lake Dallas at 7 p.m. on Friday.

Grace Gifford
|Grace Evelyn Gifford Plunkett
|Grace Evelyn Gifford
4 March 1888
Rathmines, Dublin, Ireland
|13 December 1955
(aged 67)
Portobello, Dublin, Ireland
|Known for
Grace Evelyn Gifford Plunkett (4 March 1888 – 13 December 1955) was an Irish artist and cartoonist who was active in the Republican movement. She is mainly remembered for marrying Joseph Plunkett in Kilmainham Gaol only a few hours before he was executed for his part in the 1916 Easter Rising.
Her parents were Frederick Gifford, a solicitor and a Roman Catholic, and Isabella Julia Burton Gifford, a Protestant. They were married in St. George's, a Church of Ireland church on the north side of the city. Grace was the second youngest in a family of 12 children and grew up in the fashionable suburb of Rathmines in Dublin. The children were raised as Protestants – the girls attended Alexandra College in Earlsfort Terrace, and the boys attended the High School in Harcourt St.[1][2]
At the age of 16 she went to the Dublin Metropolitan School of Art, where she studied under the Irish artist William Orpen. Orpen regarded Grace as one of his most talented pupils. He often sketched Grace and eventually painted her as one of his subjects for a series on 'Young Ireland'. At around this time, Grace's talent for caricature was discovered and developed. In 1907 she attended a full-time course in Fine Art at the Slade School of Art, London.[3]
She returned to Dublin in 1908 and, with great difficulty, tried to earn a living as a caricaturist, publishing her cartoons in The Shanachie, Irish Life, Meadowstreet and The Irish Review, which was edited from 1913 by Joseph Plunkett. She considered emigrating but gave up the idea. Despite earning so little money, she enjoyed a lively social life; she was well dressed and mixed with the likes of Mrs Dryhurst, a journalist who worked in London, and George William Russell (Æ).[3] During the same year, Mrs Dryhurst brought Grace to the opening of the new bilingual St. Enda's School in Ranelagh, Dublin. It was here that she met Joseph Plunkett for the first time and came into direct contact with the future leaders of the 1916 Easter Rising, including Thomas MacDonagh, whom Grace's sister, Muriel, married.[3]
Engagement and marriage[edit]
Her growing interest in the Roman Catholic religion led to the deepening of her acquaintance with Joseph Plunkett. She began to question him about his faith. He proposed to her in 1915; Grace accepted and decided to take instruction in the Catholic religion. She was formally received into the Catholic Church in April 1916. Having no knowledge of the plans for the Easter Rising, she planned to marry Joseph on Easter Sunday of that year in University Chapel on St Stephen's Green, in a double wedding with his sister and her fiancé.[4] Her parents were not in favour of her marrying Plunkett, due to the precarious state of his health – he was extremely ill at this time.[5]
After the Rising, the leaders were condemned to death by firing squad. When Grace knew that Joseph was due to be shot on 4 May, she bought a wedding ring in a jeweller's shop in Dublin city centre. She and Joseph were married on the night of 3 May in the chapel of Kilmainham Gaol, only a few hours before he was executed.[6]
Sinn Féin[edit]
Grace Plunkett decided to devote herself through her art to the promotion of Sinn Féin policies and resumed her commercial work to earn a living. She was elected to the Sinn Féin executive in 1917.
Her sister Muriel, widow of executed 1916 leader Thomas MacDonagh, died of heart failure while swimming in 1917. Grace and another sister, Nellie Gifford, shared the care of Muriel's two children, Donagh MacDonagh and Barbara, until 1919. She remained in close contact with both until she died.
Civil War and aftermath[edit]
During the Civil War, Grace Plunkett joined the Anti-Treaty IRA, which was engaged in combat against the National Army. Grace was arrested with many others in February 1923 and interned at Kilmainham Gaol for three months. She painted pictures on the walls of her cell, including one of the Blessed Virgin and the Christ Child. She was released in May 1923.
When the Civil War ended, she had no home of her own and very little money. Like many Anti-Treaty Republicans, Grace was the target of social ostracism and had difficulty finding work. Her talent as an artist was her only real asset; her cartoons were published in various newspapers and magazines, including Dublin Opinion, the Irish Tatler, Sketch, and on one occasion in 1934, Punch. She illustrated W. B. Yeats' The Words upon the Window Pane in 1930. She moved from one rented apartment to another and ate in the city-centre restaurants. She befriended many people and had many admirers, but had no wish to remarry. Her material circumstances improved in 1932 when she received a Civil List pension from Éamon de Valera's Fianna Fáil government.[3] This freed her from financial worries and enabled her to make the occasional trip to Paris where she delighted in visits to the galleries and exhibitions. She lived for many years in a flat in Nassau St. with a balcony overlooking the sports ground of Trinity College.
Grace's in-laws refused to honour her husband's will, in which he left everything to his widow. Legally, the will was unvalid because there was only one witness (the law requires two) and also the marriage took place after the will was made, automatically revoking it.[3] For years Grace received nothing, so she began legal proceedings against her mother- and father-in-law, Count George Noble Plunkett and his wife in 1934. The Count and Countess Plunkett settled out of court. Grace was paid £700, plus costs. [7]
At around this time she joined the Old Dublin Society, where she met the noted Irish harpsichord maker Cathal Gannon. When Cathal married, Grace gave him and his wife Margaret a present of two single beds and a picture. From the late 1940s onwards, Grace's health declined. In 1950 she was brought to St Vincent's Hospital, then in the city centre. She convalesced in a nursing home, which she did not like, mainly because it restricted her freedom.[8]
Grace Gifford Plunkett died suddenly, and alone, on 13 December 1955 in an apartment in South Richmond Street. Her body was removed to St Kevin's Church, Harrington Street and among the attendees at her funeral was President Seán T. O'Kelly. She was buried with full military honours close to the republican plot in Glasnevin Cemetery.[3]
Cultural depictions[edit]
She is the subject of "Grace", a song written in 1985 by Frank and Seán O'Meara, which became very popular in Ireland and elsewhere and has been recorded by many musicians.[9]
She is one of the people seen buying a bond in John MacDonagh's newsreel of Michael Collins signing the first issue of Republican Bonds outside St Enda's, Rathfarnham in 1919. The film is archived and available for viewing at the Irish Film Institute.[citation needed]

WASHINGTON — Top national security officials trudged to Capitol Hill Thursday to grapple with fallout from the David Petraeus sex scandal as Defense Secretary Leon Panetta asked service chiefs to review ethics training for military officers. He said he was unaware of any other top brass who could turn out to be ensnared in the debacle.
One person missing from the tableau: General John Allen, the commander of coalition forces in Afghanistan whose nomination to take over in Europe is on hold because of suggestive e-mails turned up in the investigation.
