This Week's Show
Today we give a cheer for Richard Whiting. A talented but modest man is how most who knew him described him. Serious about his craft but happy to conduct it at home in Detroit, it took his astute wife Eleanor, a good businesswoman, all her powers to persuade him to move to New York, centre of the music business. His first hit, published by Remick, was "It's Tulip Time In Holland" and it is said that Whiting never received any royalties for it, having agreed to accept a Steinway Grand piano in their stead. In six months, the song sold over 1.5 million sheet music copies: He could have bought half a dozen Steinways with the royalties! In his book "They're Playing Our Song" Max Wilk relates the story of "Till We Meet Again". In 1918, Richard's secretary spotted it while clearing his wastepaper basket and took it to the boss, Mr Remick. "Let's not tell Richard but we'll enter it in the War Song competition." said Remick and it duly won the contest. "You've got a hit" he told Richard. "But I haven't written anything recently." "Yes you have – 'Till We Meet Again'. It won the contest and we're being asked for 5,000 copies plus, every day!"
Here's some advice Richard gave his daughter Margaret: "We work very hard to write a song and make it work. You must sing it with great affection and feeling. It takes the lyricists a long time to write the words: Just believe in them – simply and honestly. That's how a singer should interpret a song."
Featured In This Week's Show: Matt Monro
Most songwriters, lyricists, composers have been celebrated, properly or otherwise, by the producers of LPs and CDs over the years. The vintage specialists ASV, in their Living Era series, were excellent at this and we've also enjoyed the "Capitol Sings..." productions. Though they're confined to their own productions of course, their galaxy of stars made it possible to salute the subjects in style. So it was with shock that we discovered that Richard Whiting appears to have been overlooked in this field (either that or we've missed lots!) There is, however, one champion of the Great American Songbook who HAS doffed its cap to Mr Whiting – The Smithsonian Institute. In their American Songbook Series, they produced an excellent compendium of most of Richard's most famous numbers – together with a few lesser-known gems: In this collection of 22 tracks you'll find all the songs we included (though just one – the Billie 'Miss Brown To You' - in the same version) and many more we wish we'd have had space to include – Jeanette MacDonald's "Beyond The Blue Horizon", for example, Mel Tormé's 'Guilty' and the Lee Wiley-Billy Hughes duet on 'You're An Old Smoothie'. Other artists include Bing, Dick Powell, Alice Faye, Susannah McCorkle, Tony Martin and of course Shirley Temple. It's on the Smithsonian Collection label.
You can hear Margaret Whiting singing some of her Dad's song (and much more) on Capitol/EMI's "Margaret Whiting – Love Songs/Sings For The Starry Eyed" [number: 4930642]

Dad says: Where going to miss you, son
Dad thinks: I am going to miss your porn collection. It's not fair, I helped build that beautiful monstrosity. You never did figure out who was sending you those emails with the hot new porn titles or why on those same days I coincidently gave you $20 for gas. In your defense, you always were pretty fucking stupid. I also can no longer blame those nasty porn sites on you. Plus, how am I going to get good weed. I am to old to ask random people,"who is holding."
Mom says: Where going to miss you son
Mom thinks: I am going to miss your friends "eye fucking me" all the time and calling me a milf behind my back. I will also miss using your school events as an excuse to dress slutty. Now how will I build my self esteem.
Dad says: It will be weird not having you around.
Dad thinks: It will be great not having you around. Now I can bang your mom any where in the house and she can't use "you being around" as an excuse any more. Plus I can walk around naked again. I miss having a cool bowl of cereal resting on my nut sack while I watch the morning news.
Mom says: It will be weird not having you around
Mom thinks: Oh shit, I can no longer use you as excuse to not have sex with your father. I will have to go back to using the headache excuse but that only works so much. Plus I will have to witness your father's naked body 24/7 which is like watch train wreck's all day. My self esteem is going to plummet
Dad says: Your an adult now and we know you will make wise decisions
Dad thinks: Your free now, bang as many drunk whores as you can. But use a condom, don't make the same mistake I did. If it wasn't for that mistake you wouldn't exist. Live your dreams now because you won't be able to live them through your children. Because with our gene pool they will probaly be worthless pathetic pieces of shit just like you where.
Mom's says: Your an adult now and we know you will make wise decisions
Mom thinks: You will probaly fuck up. A wise decision would have been an abortion. But at least I have a four year window where there is a slim possibilty you could get a drunk bitch pregnant. Because that is my only real shot at grandchildren. If I'm lucky they will take after her and then I can actually be proud of them. I will probaly poke holes in your condoms when you come home.
Dad says: come home sometime.
Dad thinks: Only come home if you have some good weed. I'm talking about becoming friends with the jamacian kids because let's face it you won't be hanging with the jocks. Also you better update that porn collection. Your in college and you have access to some sick shit. You better have foreign shit, donkey shows, amputees help out your old man I am tired of banging your mom in your bed.
Mom says: Come home sometime
Mom thinks: No, I don't want to do your fucking laundry or bake for your fat ass. Have you been in eating the whole time you have been gone to bad they don't have a "CelebrityFit Club" show just for losers. But I will put up with it if I can have just one weekend without your father walking around naked with milk and cereal all over his pubes. Plus invite your loser friends over so they can stare at me for uncomfortably long periods of time. My self esteem is pretty low and those little pervs can recharge the old batteries.

Google China's Kaifu Lee Resigns
According to sources on Twitter (tweet by leading Chinese blogger keso with information confirmed by phone with Kaifu Lee, tweet via niubi), the founding president of Google China Kai-Fu Lee (Li Kaifu, 李開復; 李开复) has resigned from his position effective immediately. We have seen no news on the reasons why, although there are rumors that he is starting a new venture to help young entrepreneurs (source: RockyFu on Twitter). The rest of this post just summarizes recent events related to Google and blogger attitudes toward Google after the porn incident.
UPDATE: Chinese portal Netease creates a whole dedicated Kaifu Lee site section. (source: @rmack). Netease reports that sources say Kai-Fu Lee will set up a new venture fund to help young Chinese entrepreneurs. More updates below.
Illustrious career
Kaifu Lee had a illustrious career at top US software companies before founding Microsoft Research China in 1998, which is widely considered a success. He joined Google in 2005 and a widely reported legal squabble ensued between Microsoft and Google over his ability to work for Google without disclosing proprietary information and trade secrets. The case was settled in Google's favor but with some restrictions.
Google China seemed to be gaining ground
The resignation is puzzling because it appears that Google China was slowing breaking into the market dominated by Baidu. Kaifu Lee has famously spoken of a 1000 year perspective, characterizing Google's approach toward China as patient and committed to the long-term. Its clear that this attitude is a key factor for success in China. Most recently, Google China had been picking up share in China's growing search engine market. From Business Week on June 8:
Google boosted its share of the fast-expanding China search business by three percentage points in the first quarter as the market boomed. Google took 32.8% of search revenues, up from 29.8% in Q4 and 25.8% a year ago, according to iResearch. However, its share of total searches fell to 20.9% from with 23.0% in Q4. Its share was 18.7% in Q1 2008.
Additionally, Google was growing share in a growing market. Research firm iResearch estimated that the search engine (revenue) market grew by 35.7% in Q2 of 2009, vs Q2 2008:
Source: iResearch (More research on the search engine market can be found on the iResearch website.)
Could the recent attack from Chinese regulators have been a cause?
We have absolutely no evidence or source linking the resignation with the recent dispute over porn in Google's search results. However, it is the most recent public, negative incident affecting Google in China. On June 18, Chinese regulators Chine Internet Illegal Information Reporting Center (CIIRC) issued a condemnation on Google for allowing porn to be found. Global Voices Online's Oiwan Lam summarized and translated this condemnation.
On June 18th, China Internet Illegal Information Reporting Centre (CIIRC) published a report in its frontage condemning Google.cn for spreading obscene contents. The report, titled as "Strongly condem google for spreading indecent and obscene information", said:
(Recently the CIIRC had received and verified public complaint against google.cn for spreading obscene and vulgar information in massive scale. Such act has seriously violated the government's relevant regulations. Moreover, it is against the society's public morale and interest.)
The timing of this attack may have been motivated by the controversy around the government's intent to force PC manufacturers to install the Green Dam Youth Escort software to filter pornographic sites. (If you forgot about this whole controversy already, CNReviews' Kai Pan provides an easy 12 point review of the entire situation including the embarrassing CCTV journalism where they are outed for using a summer intern as a "man on the street" interview. More on the Green Dam incident at Rebecca MacKinnon's RConversation. )
Time reports on the Google porn matter and highlights Rebecca MacKinnon's theory that the timing of this criticism is related to the efforts to roll out the Green Dam filtering software:
The attack on Google is seen by some as an attempt to divert criticism from the controversy over filtering software. "It doesn't seem like a coincidence that [the attack on Google] comes amid mounting criticism of Green Dam, whose ostensible purpose is to block porn," says Rebecca MacKinnon, a former Beijing bureau chief for CNN who is writing a book about the Internet in China. "Now they're trying to show what a bad job Google does in protecting China's children." MacKinnon also notes that there's plenty of evidence that searches conducted on Baidu — Google's main rival in China and the company with by far the biggest share of the search-engine market — produce just as many or more links to pornographic sites.
Could strained relations between Google China and various agencies regulating the internet (such as the Ministry of Information Industry and the Ministry of Public Security) have caused Google to set up Kaifu Lee as the fall guy?
Why Google and not Baidu? Life isn't fair (and Netizens will find porn, some way, some how)
An interesting side point that many people on Twitter made during this period was that Baidu was just as guilty as Google in allowing for porn access. Danwei highlights a post (zh) by Chinese blogger Wang Xiaofeng who compared searches on Baidu and Google for "Japan, Navigation" (日本 导航) and "Korea, Navigation" (韩国 导航) with "interesting results." The interesting thing is that Google had filtered much more porn than Baidu on these terms. Wang shares some other conspiracy theories related to Robin Li's appearance on state-run television, and suggests that he holds "home court advantage" in some way. Danwei also highlighted some interesting stats from Keso on Baidu's Japanese search engine:
Keso, king of China's IT bloggers, recently posted the following information:
Baidu.jp users come from these countries:China 55.9% Japan 38.4% Hong Kong 1.4% United States 1.4% United Kingdom 0.7%
The reason Baidu Japan has so many Chinese users can only be that they're looking for stuff they can't find on Baidu's Chinese site.
What could all those Chinese netizens be looking for on the Baidu Japan site? Hmmm… Asia Sentinel concludes that Online China Goes to Japan for Porn.
BloggerInsight survey of Chinese Bloggers: Google Needs to Behave to Succeed
CNReviews and partner BloggerInsight surveyed Chinese bloggers to see what they thought. We published the results here. BloggerInsight asked the following questions:
- Why was Google singled out?
- How do you see this incident affecting Google China's strategic palnning and user trust
- How will this effect the way other international companies operate in China
The full results of the mini case were blogged over here. If you want more information beyond what is in the post, please contact us and we'll introduce you to BloggerInsight.
Five reasons why Google was singled out
BloggerInsight crowdsourced five key insights into why Google was singled out. Here are some excerpts from the surveys: First, it was Google's fault for linking to a huge amount of inappropriate content. When Google was launched in China, they knowingly entered into an agreement with the Chinese government in which they would do their utmost to make pornographic and indecent material inaccessible to the public. Clearly, Google had broken this agreement by linking to a great deal of pornographic material.
In the pursuit of profit and visitor maximization, Google's system automatically associates and links certain keywords with pornographic content so that more visitors will use it as their preferred search engine. Based on visitors' popular searches, it must come as no surprise that search results yield large amounts of inappropriate material.
Teenagers can easily find a lot of pornography through Google, and this kind of content is not allowed in China.
Secondly, Google is a big, international company.
There is a pretty good reason for Google to be singled out in this situation. As a well-known foreign company, Google represents a significant share of the market in China. After a series of campaigns forcing local sites to overhaul their webpages to eliminate inappropriate material, this campaign can be viewed as the Chinese government exerting pressure on international sites. Here, Google is a symbol by which the Chinese government proclaims a job well-done on cleaning up things on the home front and sends a clear message to international sites that they can't get away with indecency.
The attack on Google may have arisen at this point because the government wanted to take some of the spotlight off the controversial Green Dam order. At the same time, by taking on a company with as much clout as Google, the Chinese government sends a clear message to corporations about their resolve and intentions for the Green Dam.
Thirdly, Google was not fully complying with the Chinese government's internet control policy, and hasn't been fully cooperating with government when disputes and controversies arose.
Google has always been unwilling to be investigated and blocked by the government when it comes to many issues such as Gmail.
Applications such as Google Reader and Google Documents are useful platforms for users to easily share information that the government does not approve of. Google is adamant about providing comprehensive https services to ensure the security of SSL encryption, which makes it more difficult to be blocked by the GFW.
Fourth, Google does not run advertisements on CCTV. Google is not obligated to buy airtime on media outlets such as CCTV. Exposing that fact to the public will not influence medias' revenues and cooperation with other advertising partners.
CCTV has no need to promote Google, because CCTV doesn't get any ad revenue from Google, so CCTV has nothing to lose in reporting that Google's not a "socially responsible" company. In the past, CCTV featured a story on the fake ads on Baidu. After Baidu spent over 40 million RMB on ads with the network, all the bad press went away.
What's more, a couple of negative news stories about CCTV were revealed on the internet, including the one about CCTV terminating contracts with over 1,600 of part-time or temporary workers after the New Labor Law took effect in 2007 . CCTV's negative news can't hide on the internet.
Fifth, Google is an advanced search engine and is the only search engine that provides comprehensive international content to Chinese netizens.
As the largest search engine website, Google controls enormous amounts of information and data. Compared to other domestic search engines, which mainly focus on Chinese results, Google provides information from beyond China. Consequently, as long as the government wants to supervise the internet, Google will definitely be the first targeted one.
If not Google, who else? Only Google meets the conditions for this kind of assault. Additionally, there is a rumor that Google.cn's market share has been growing, so Baidu was one of "black hands" behind this incident.
Best wishes to Kaifu Lee
Could Chinese government persecution of Google over porn access have caused Kaifu Lee to resign? We'll update this post with more news as we get it. In the meantime, we offer best wishes to Kaifu Lee and expect him to surface in another important role bridging international technology companies with the Chinese market.
UPDATE: Wall Street Journal just confirmed the news.
UPDATE: China Internet Watch (Rocky Fu) highlights news from Tencent that Liu Yun, a vice president at Google, steps in as interim president of Google China:
Liu Yun, vice president of Google worldwide will temporarily take the post of president of Google Greater China, in charge of the Chinese market.
Dr. Liu Yun joined Google last January, as a global vice president in charge of Greater China sales. Based in Beijing, he is responsible for Google sales and channel business in mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Prior to joining Google, he served as CEO of SK Telecom and President for China market. He also used to work in FreeMarkets (US) and SingTel (Singapore) in senior management positions.
UPDATE: from the New York Times via China Internet Watch:
Google said in a news release early Friday in Beijing that Mr. Lee, who was president of Google Greater China and vice president for engineering, would leave the company in mid-September. Two current executives will take over Mr. Lee's engineering and sales roles. Boon-Lock Yeo, currently director of Google's Shanghai engineering office, will take over engineering responsibilities for Google China, and John Liu, vice president of sales and operations, will assume business and operational responsibilities.
UPDATE: On Twitter, Kai Fu Lee tells people to back off and give him a week before he announces anything further:
kaifulee: 请大家不要乱猜测我要做什么。下星期宣布。不是卖关子,是有些细节还没有搞定。给我一点时间和耐心。保证是很酷的。谢谢大家的支持
He also debunks the rumor about starting Idealab China:
kaifulee: 请不要乱说我加入IdeaLab。我不加入任何公司,我会自己做一个青年创业平台。下星期会给大家更多信息
He also posts about his departure, quoting Steve Jobs, on his popular blog on Sina (zh). The post is entitled "Goodbye, Google"
UPDATE: CNReviews makes it onto TechMeme! First time ever.

Freddy and Jayson may just have to figure out a way to get along
December 19 2006
The Philadelphia Inquirer is reporting that the Phillies have reached an agreement with 27-year-old right-handed outfielder Jayson Werth.
Werth was a first-round
draft pick of the Orioles in 1997. In December, 2000, he was traded to the
Blue Jays for John Bale. In March, 2004, he went from the Blue Jays to the
Dodgers for Jason Frasor.
Werth never got more than 50 at-bats in a season with the Blue Jays but shined in 2004 with the Dodgers, hitting 262/338/486 with 16 home runs in just 290 at-bats. In the 2004 NLDS, Werth went 4-for-14 with two home runs as the Dodgers fell to the Cardinals in four games. Since 2004 his career has been a story of a major injury.
Werth was hit by a pitch during Spring Training of 2005, breaking his left wrist. The injury has plagued his career ever since. He would go on to get 337 at-bats in '05 after suffering the injury and struggled mightily, hitting 234/338/374. This article suggests Werth is still having some soreness in his wrist and makes it sounds as if he may be a ways from being back to '04 form.
Werth is a player with a
tremendous upside and a lot of ifs. But a healthy Werth would be a big
addition to the Phillies, who are in need of another right-handed bat. To
hit 16 home runs in 290 at-bats in Dodger Stadium at age 25 is impressive.
He is, however, going to have to demonstrate to a lot of people that he is
The addition of a healthy Werth would give the Phillies five outfielders. During the 2005 season, Werth played 30 games in center field for the Dodgers, although you would have to believe he can't bring nearly the defense that Victorino or Rowand would offer. I still would not be surprised to see the Phillies trade Rowand and give the full-time center field job to Victorino. It seems that Victorino would do a better job as a full-time right fielder than Conine, but much less clear he would be a better option than a Werth with his wrist problems finally behind him. The addition of a right-handed bat like Werth might make a trade of the right-handed Rowand more likely for the lefty-heavy Phils.
That said, it would be a mistake to pencil Werth in anywhere until he demonstrates he's healthy. And it's not clear at all how long that might take.
It's arguable, however, that if he signs he'll become the second-best offensive outfielder in the Phillies' organization.

Chanticleers shot 58% to take down Eagles
Winthrop's Tournament Dreams Dashed by Coastal Carolina
Sunday, March 9, 2014 10:18 PM EDT
Sunday, March 9, 2014 10:18 PM EDT
By Mike Leslie, Sports Anchor/Digital Journalist -
) --
The Winthrop men's basketball team's dream of an NCAA tournament berth ended on Sunday afternoon as the Eagles fell to Coastal Carolina 76-61 in the Big South Conference Championship title game at the HTC Center.
Winthrop falls to 20-13 while Coastal Carolina improves to 21-12 and will now await the announcement of the NCAA 68-team field which will be announced next Sunday.
Coastal connected on 58 percent of its shots for the game (28 of 48) compared to 32 percent for Winthrop (19 of 59). Winthrop, the No. 5 (South) seed, was playing its fourth game in five days, but junior sharpshooter
Keon Moore
didn't blame that on the poor shooting performance, but rather credited Coastal's tough defense.
Moore, who was voted to the All-Tournament Team, led Winthrop in scoring with 19 points as he connected on 5 of 10 from the floor and 7 of 8 from the free throw line.
Joab Jerome
was the only other Eagle in double figures with 13.
Coastal senior Warren Gillis, the tournament MVP, led four Chanticleer double figure scorers with a game-high 22. Josh Cameron scored 19 while Badou Diagne added 17 and Elijah Wilson finished with 12.
From the outset, it appeared that Coastal's game plan was to take the ball and drive it right at the Winthrop guards, but Winthrop head coach
Pat Kelsey
said they (Coastal) did the same thing in the first two games that were won by the Eagles.
"That's Coastal's deal. Everyone has a brand, something they hang their hat on. I said this both times we played them, and I mean it in the most complimentary way, they are a smash mouth basketball team. They are coming right between your eyes. They are like the Pittsburgh Steelers—off tackle, four yards and a cloud of dust. You know what's coming, but stop it. That's easier said than done."
The tide turned with about 10 minutes remaining in the first half after Winthrop had taken its first lead of the game at 18-16 on a three-pointer by
Andre Smith
followed by a free throw by Jerome. Over the next four minutes, and 54 seconds the Chanticleers went on a 12-0 run to take a 28-18 lead with 5:09 left in the half.
Winthrop cut the deficit to four points at 28-24 after Moore made two free throws, Jerome scored on a drive to the basket and a wide open
Tevin Prescott
through down a dunk off a feed from Jerome, but Coastal answered with a 6-0 run of its own to take a 34-24 halftime lead.
The Eagles scored first to open the second half when Jerome scored inside and was fouled. He made the free throw to draw Winthrop to within seven points at 34-27, but Coastal responded again with a 8-0 run to take a 15-point lead at 42-27 after Cameron's steal and full court drive for a layup with over 17 minutes left in the game.
Winthrop continued to fight hard, but on a day when its shots weren't going down, the hopes for a comeback from the double digit lead appeared futile. The Eagles did manage to get to within nine with 4:36 left to play after an 8-0 run that included back-to-back three-pointers by Moore and Smith made it a 61-52 game.
Coastal closed it out by outscoring Winthrop 15-9 in the final 4:30.

For some background information. As I said in my earlier thread I am in my first year of college right now. My college is located in the North Country of New York, and I've been told they have long and harsh winters here. I'm also an inexperienced new driver, and the AWD should help lower my costs for insurance. So I am strongly considering this solid small car.
I am curious if the Subaru 2.5GT has been discontinued? Through all the searching I've done on the Impreza, I haven't came across the GT untill yesterday. Unless, they mean the Legacy 2.5GT, but they look nothing alike.
I am just worried that 170HP will not be enough if I ever wanted to drive more sporty. But given that I'm a new driver, I'm not sure. But a few more horses sure does sound better. I am looking to buy a 08-11' Impreza hatchback used. Probably not as likely to find a used 2011 model. The models before 08' don't appeal to me as much as the 08' and after.
I can't think if anything else to say at the moment, but I will surely be adding on to this thread. So if you can, please check back on this thread every once in a while. Thanks in advance.

A little about me...
One of the most important lessons I have learned over the years is to laugh at myself. And believe me...I can give you a lot of things to laugh about. Laughter is great.
I am a little Old Fashioned in that I like being treated like a lady and feeling special and I have strong family values. I am very caring and give my all to those that mean the most to me.
Romance! Holding hands, stolen looks, passionate kisses, and brief touches are all important. So are phone calls just to say Hi,or sending cards just to make you smile. And red roses.
About the one I'm looking for...
I am a very sincere, dependable, and true person looking for the same in that special someone. No games with me and I dont want them from you.
I'd just like to add...
Give me the BEACH and I am happy. Sitting on the beach during the day, dinner at a restaurant on water, walking hand-in-hand along the waters edge at night...its beautiful.
I also enjoy: romantic rainy days; cold snowy nights by the fire; crisp windy fall days; warm bright sunny days; snuggling on the couch watching a movie; a quite dinner at home for two; and Christmas decorations.

Before & After: The Glue and Brown Paper Makeover
Tatertots and Jello
There aren't many things that don't look awesome covered in brown paper and although we're usually talking about table tops and the like, these stairs are no different. That's right, the after photo of these stairs show them covered with crumpled up brown paper and glue! Check out their final look and see for yourself!
This project from Rachael over at Lovely Crafty Home was featured over at Tatertots and Jello for all the hard work put in on this amazing staircase transformation.
The process is simple. Acquire brown paper, tear up brown paper and glue brown paper. After that a sealing coat was applied (though you could stain before this step if you so desire) things take on a shiny appearance and the look is complete. We think it's an inexpensive project that could even be done with grocery bags if you so desire and is an easy way to breathe new life into a space without shilling out large amounts of hard earned cash.
The look might also be a good one for walls, floors or possibly even blocks of space on a wall (for instance you could define a headboard area in your bedroom without having to build or buy one!). Check out the full tutorial over at Tatertots and Jello, it's a process you'll want to check out for sure!

I did this to a chest of drawers many (like 15) years ago and the chest is still being used by my son. In my case it was done over a laminate surface and has stood the test of time. These stairs look great and since I have experience, I will say, what a heck of a lot of work it must have been!!
I've wanted to try this ever since you posted a tutorial over on re-nest http://www.re-nest.com/re-nest/diy/diy-idea-brown-paper-bag-floors-yankee-magazine--125700
How durable is this? I guess it depends not only on the top coating, but also the substrate. A laminated surface, as wyndwalkr used, is quite rigid and hard. I wonder if the paper might wear away faster when applied to a wood substrate.
I was about to post, who would waste their time refinishing BASEMENT stairs and not just slap a new coat of paint on them, but then actually went to the blog posting and read that it was a test drive which makes alot more sense :)
Hildi Santo-Tomás
And how do you get the stuff up when it's time for a change?
limes - You could sand it and paint right over the top and it has a low enough profile that other alternatives would just be installed over the top.
my mom has done this a few times in her house. She once stained it after putting it on the wall, it ended up looking a bit like leather from a far. But it is VERY VERY VERY labor intensive.
Looks nice. I would caulk along the wall where the stairs meet it to make it look more finished.
looks great
in all fairness, getting rid of the pet hair & dishes on the steps would have made a huge difference, too : )
Stairs get A LOT Of wear and I can't imagine how this is going to stand up. Looks great now but as soon as one piece is ripped or something sharp makes a cut you have to patch or get rid of the whole thing. Sanding it all off would be an AWFUL job. I think painting the stairs would have been sufficient.
That looks much better than I thought it would! My favorite part is the cat in the "before" photo, though.
I saw this done in a store once and thought at first that it was a leather wall until the owner explained that it was paper bags from Safeway. If done well, it looks really awesome. I've thought about doing this in a library - you know, if I ever have one...
No offense, but this looks like cheap marbled linoleum on a basement stairwell. I can imagine it maybe looking okay somewhere else... but not really. Just cleaning up the stairwell would have been fine. It was gross before.
I admire the ingenuity, but this is brutal. A few coats of hard-wearing paint would've been much nicer.
Durability isn't an issue as you can coat it with a couple of coats of polyurethane.
I'm not sure this is the right placement for this technique. If you add sand or anything to help avoid slips, it diminishes the intent of this finish. Additionally, it seems there are a lot of crevices for dirt to stick to. Painting it makes it look sloppy, so that's not a solution if it gets dirty or stained.
I've done this finish several times in the past, only on a wall. I've used wallpaper paste for the base, and covered it with a good coat of polyurethane in the end to keep it durable. Keep in mind that this is a pretty permanent covering, so make sure it's something you like before doing it! But the finished product is always great.
Rachael here...the owner of the filthy stairs...that will teach me not to take a "keeping it real" before photo...
To answer some questions, the poly I used is floor grade so it would be the same as refinishing your hardwoods. It is also easy to patch up though, and I've read many other stories that it wears really well.
It's also a great temporary solution if you are saving up for hardwood it can go right on top.
The paint was floor/porch grade and you can see how that held up. Those spots would not come up, it's actually worn. We do a lot of work in the basement, it's unfinished. It's not a place where I take company per say...
For the record I don't LOVE the color of the natural bags. I am working with stain (dark walnut minwax) on the upstairs and it looks infinitely better. I just didn't want to spend a lot of time on the basement stairs...which is also why the stair risers are sort of unfinished-they are just plywood.
Obviously the look is not for everyone!
Can I apply this over ceramic tile, I wonder? I have horrible tile in my kitchen and have been looking for a temporary way to cover it until we can afford to rip it all out and install new flooring. Hm.
tmoore- I've never seen it done over tile, but if you hate it that much it couldn't hurt to try. The only thing is that if the grout lines are deep it will show in the levelness of the paper so you need to make sure the floor is flush before you lay the paper down. Good luck!
zeb- The feel is the same as that of a hardwood tread, I wouldn't add sand or anything.
Anyone who thinks those before stairs were shabby should come see my place (original stairway, circa 1950, with smoke-stained gold wallpaper, circa 1970s).
I like the neutral paint in the after. Does anyone have tips about painting a stairwell? I am not brave enough to use a regular ladder on the stairs...
ricestein- lol! Our basement stairwell doesn't have tall ceilings so I was able to do it just by standing on the stairs. The upstairs one has been done twice by a pro b/c it does require a ladder (it's the only place I pay someone to paint!). I wouldn't recommend trying it yourself if you're not comfortable! Our painter has an "L" shaped stool that allows them to put the ladder on a flat surface. She said the stool was about $100!
I worked on a movie set where the interior of a house was used alot in the movie. In order to make the walls look aged we plastered sheets of brown paper (same paper as paper bags) and left it till almost dry. We then tore large sections randomly from the wall and stained it the entire wall with shades if blue and umber. It looked amazing.
I love this. I'm seriously considering this for bathroom walls above the existing wainscoting. Nice job; painting that concrete block wall white adds a lot of much-needed light. Needs pictures of the pets, though.
I did this on an accent wall once. It was a great leather-like look. Inexpensive as far as material went, but really labor intensive.
You can stick a leg extender on one the legs of an aluminum ladder so that when the two legs are on different steps, the ladder is still vertical. Inquire with your local hardware store. You can probably just rent such a ladder.
Another option would be to attach a paint roller to an extending pole and paint from the steps. You can duct tape a brush to the end of the pole to get the edges/corners. I've painted entire rooms this way without a ladder, and it works fine if you've a steady hand. It also helps if the ceiling will be painted the same color.
There is a bar in downtown Honolulu were I helped install this type of floor 10/15 years ago. Bar is still there and the floor is holding up very very well.
I did this to a kitchen floor way back in 1974. It was a three-day project, but worth it, and it held up very well for several years. I moved, so I can't say how much longer it lasted after that.
I think I might need to do this look somewhere, I love the leatherlike effect.
Maybe on bookcases!
Hi, I tried this over a concrete slab floor and was so excited about this good-looking, budget friendly solution. Unfortunately, I found that the paper trapped air bubbles that were pretty much impossible to smooth out. Ultimately, it dried with *texture* and the air pockets provided a good stating place for ripping this project out.
Would this work to cover up a laminate kitchen countertop?
Uhhh, am I missing something here? That's concrete, right? Why wouldn't you just stain it? Seems easier and and more durable--the owner clearly has pets. =/
Amy- I would suggest brushing glue on first to help with air bubbles. Some of them will naturally smooth out when drying. But you do need to make sure you are smoothing everything out completely as you lay it down. Even after it dries though, if there are spots that bug you, you can cut them with a razor and dab glue underneath to adhere the paper better.
nkena- I see no reason why it wouldn't work on a countertop, but you may want to scuff it up first with some sandpaper. Brush glue on the surface in addition to dipping your pieces in glue. Make sure you use a good poly so it will hold up!
milo- The stairs are mdf and plywood. I had previously painted them with gray floor/porch paint.
I'm not sure why people keep suggesting paint, since that is what I had done originally. When you spill something on painted surfaces, it doesn't necessarily come off (especially if it's paint you're dropping). A poly-ed surface is more wipe-able, and despite the possibility of this not holding up for 20 years, it is still more durable than paint and better looking than carpet.
I DO recommend trying stain for anyone who thinks this looks like linoleum.
For anyone interested, this is what Dark Walnut Minwax looks like on the paper
how innovative! Very creative idea for a staircase . I'm sure after a couples coats of polyurethane the seal would make it last longer.
And of course, painting the Maroon walls, it looks much cleaner.
I hate Before & Afters when the "Before" is basically cluttered with remodeling equipment and crap like animals and food bowls, this wouldn't have looked that awful if the before wouldn't have been dirty. I think it would have been just fine to just paint the walls a lighter color and leave the stairs the way they are. Does seem like a LOT of work.
@ ricestein: I couldn't find a leg extender to fit my extension ladder. I discovered that a concrete block, turned on its side, was (almost) the exact height of a stair, and it provided more than enough "grip" to keep my ladder from sliding. I'm only 5' tall, but the block enabled me to rip off wallpaper, clean the stairwell walls, prime, and paint. I didn't like being 15' above the landing, but it wasn't really difficult.
I just came across this blog post looking for a technique to apply brown paper. What I found here was a bunch of folks concentrating on the before picture, rather than the after. It's clear to me that Rachael was demonstrating a technique, not asking for anyones opinion of her basement stairs as they previously were or what she could have done instead. I love it Rachael, good job. I will be trying it soon!

There are few environments harsher on an RC vehicle than what RC boats experience. If you look in the instruction manual of any RC car, it tells you quite plainly, "Do not run in water; water will ruin this product; water is evil—bad," just to name a few. But a boat needs to be exposed to these environments as that's where a boat operates. There are a number of steps you can take before and after a run that will extend the life of your boat and its components, and reduce or eliminate any down time between runs due to mechanical failures.
Sealing the Hull
Maintaining Your Prop Shaft
Protecting Your Electronics
Starter Maintenance
To prevent the one-way bearing from chewing into the crank- shaft, you can apply a light coating of Tamiya Anti-Wear Grease (TAM53439) onto the crank shaft or one-way shaft itself. If you're using a hand-starter like a Tiger Drive, you'll need to keep an eye on the gears inside the starter as well. Inspect the teeth of the gears after every 30 hours of use to ensure that the teeth don't become excessively worn or "shark-toothed." Much like the one-way bearing, a little Anti-Wear grease can go a long way towards extending the life of your starter unit.
Staying Sharp
Over time, your prop may become damaged or dull which will affect the performance of your boat. You may notice that, especially from a dead stop, your boat takes longer than normal to get up to speed. If your prop is damaged, you have two options, depending on whether your prop is metal or plastic. If you have a metal prop, you can re-sharpen the prop blades with a file or rotary tool. If your prop is heavily damaged or if you have a plastic prop, replacing it with a new one can instantaneously renew your boat's performance to what it was when it was new. Additionally, most props don't come balanced from the factory. Properly balancing your prop blade can have a huge impact on the performance of your boat, but it can also prevent problems down the road. An imbalanced prop can cause unnecessary vibration which will lead to premature wear and failure of driveline parts.
Maintaining Your Engine
In addition to heat, your engine can also be damaged by the very element it is operated in: the water. It is because of water's corrosive nature that we've talked about ensuring that the hull is properly sealed in the first place. Beyond that, however, you do want to give your engine some much needed TLC after each run. One of the single biggest steps you can take to prevent corrosion and damage to your engine, crankshaft, bearings, piston, and sleeve is to use after run oil in your engine once you are finished running for the day. After run oil not only prevents the water from damaging your engine's internal components, but also prevents the "gumming up" that can happen from unburned fuel that may remain in the crank ase. Simply place a few drops into the carburetor, turn the flywheel a few times by hand or by pulling the starter cord, and you're done. It's a simple step that is far too often overlooked.
Finally, make sure that you always use fresh fuel. It may be tempting to use last season's left over fuel that's been sitting in your garage all winter, but fight the urge. Over time, the oils and lubricants that are blended into the fuel can break down, which means your engine isn't as protected as you thought it might be. Invest in some fresh fuel at the beginning of the season; you won't regret it. You should also remember to always run your boat completely out of fuel before you store or transport it. Not only could noxious fumes fill up your car, but when gasoline or nitro fuels evaporate they leave a sludge behind in the fuel tank and inside the engine itself.
Waterside Safety
Model boating can be a relaxing and fun time, but there are some important steps that you should remember before, during, and after you use your boat. Few products are subjected to environments as harsh as what boats are, but with some common sense and a little effort you can be assured that you will have many long days of water fun.
Post-Run Maintenance for Your Boat

Q:What you think about beyonce ? :)
Ooh, tough question. I like her, but I'm not a fan of hers. I don't know why, though. Don't get me wrong, I truly believe she's a great artist, a great peformer and a great vocalist, but she's just not my thing, I guess.
If you're talking about the National Anthem thing, I really don't think she lip-synced. Why would she ever feel the need to lip-sync, seriously?! I think she can easily sing those notes, any time. O well.

Back to the Gru-ture.
What was the highest grossing film in the UK in 2013? Was it Iron Man 3? Perhaps Gravity? Or was it a film about an animated super-villain with a nondescript foreign accent and his band of tiny yellow minions?
Yes, Despicable Me 2 was the UK's favourite film of last year, adding £43m to an overall haul of nearly a $1bn worldwide. With such impressive numbers, a sequel seemed all but inevitable.
That's now been confirmed, and Despicable Me 3 is scheduled to be released in June 2017.
Also confirmed is the first spin-off movie from the franchise, which will star the perennially popular Minions in their own standalone adventure. The Minions Movie, as it is inventively called, will hit screens in summer 2015.
In addition to the Gru-niverse, Illumination Entertainment, the Universal-owned animation studio which produces the Despicable Me films, also confirmed production on two other projects.
First, a remake - sorry, "newly-imagined" take - on classic Dr Seuss tale How The Grinch Stole Christmas, the festive favourite previously seen in a couple of 2D animated TV movies in the 1980s and a live-action romp (with Jim Carrey) in 2000.
And second, an intriguing project from Brit director Garth Jennings, he of The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy (currently playing on Sky Movies) and Son Of Rambow fame. His new film is "an original animated comedy about courage, competition and carrying a tune".
That project doesn't currently have a title, but is set to be released in December 2016.

text: GREEN BAY, Wis. (WTAQ) - Everything went right for the green and gold as the Packers dominate the Seattle Seahawks 48-10 at Lambeau Field Sunday. The win, coupled with the New York Giants 41-9 loss to the Carolina Panthers, means the Packers make the playoffs as a Wild Card. Offensively the Packers were led by their dynamic duo on the ground as Ryan Grant had 16 carries for 97 yards for 2 TDs and Brandon Jackson scored 3 times. Meantime the defense intercepted Seahawks QB Matt Hasslebeck 4 times to set up three of those scores. Get a full recap Monday with Packers analyst Larry McCarren on Mike and Matt at 7:45 a.m. and then on the 5th Quarter with Mark Daniels and Nick Vitrano at 5 p.m. on Newsradio 1360 WTAQ.

Yeah, parking tickets suck. What makes them even worse is writing a check to cover the cost, tracking down an envelope and a stamp, and remembering to put the hateful package in the mail. While the Denver Parking Violations Bureau's website doesn't entirely take the sting out of the process, it does eliminate some of the additional tasks. By clicking the "Pay-By-Web" button on the home page and following along step by step, users can charge a ticket to their Visa or MasterCard, saving a few pennies and some additional frustration in the process.

We are running Office scan 8. According to the Updates Summary page the latest Virus pattern is version 6.811.00 which was released on 30/1/2010. Using the Component Version screen, I have verified that is not the version that is installed on a couple of clients (the latest Virus pattern is version 6.803.00 which was released on 25/1/2010 or older). The Server Update is scheduled to occur daily and all of the components are selected to be updated. The Networked Computers is Schedule-based Update occur daily.
Why are my clients not being updated?
Solved! Go to Solution.
It could be due to one of the services being stopped. This happens because of another AV installation. Try restarting the services.
Also, sometimes if systems are left on for many days or months together, they do not update. In this case, restart the client systems facing this problem.
Lastly, if they still do not update, go for an uninstallation and reinstallation of the Trend Micro OfficeScan Client (this is if all else fails).
Hope this helps.
Please check the status in the OfficeScan web console of those clients that do not receive the pattern file update from the server. Normally, when the clients show as Offline on the console, then the server will not send pattern update notifications to them. You may perform Connection Verification on the web console for those target clients to ensure that they reflect the correct information/status.
Also, try doing an Update Now from the client side and see if it will be successful in downloading the updates from the server. This will help us isolate the connection problem. You can do this by right-clicking the OfficeScan realtime icon at the system tray of client computer, and then select Update Now.
Lastly, try executing this command from the Run window of the client computer.

Now that's a baby bump!
Alyson Hannigan still has two months to go before her second child is born, but by the looks of these pictures it looks like she's ready to go now!
The 38-year-old actress stepped out in New York City yesterday afternoon with her 3-year-old daughter Satyana and her husband, Alexis.
Alyson picked up a few new items from trendy designers Zadig and Voltaire.
People have been asking her how she can only be 7-months pregnant. While appearing earlier this week on The Rachael Ray Show, she said: "The last couple of times I've been at stores, people have been like, 'Oh you're ready to pop, right?'"
"I'm like, 'Actually I have a couple more months.' Somebody said, 'You're sure there's not two?' I keep asking my doctor the same thing.'"

Day 11: Make a List of Everything You Ate for Dinner Last Week
The Cooking Cure Spring 2014
Day 10: Monday, March 17
Assignment: Make a list of what you ate for dinner last week
The Cooking Cure: See all the assignments so far here.
It's a little hard to believe, but we are exactly halfway through The Cooking Cure! How have things been going so far? Are you keeping up with all the cooking, or do you find yourself struggling? Anything the community of Cure Takers might be able to help with?
This week — at long last! finally! — we arrive at dinner. You know the drill by now: your job today is just to think back through last week's dinners and make a list of what you ate.
Today's Assignment (Estimated Time: 10 Minutes)
- Get Out a Pen and Paper: Grab your trusty pen and a fresh sheet of paper. As with Breakfast Week and with Lunch Week, we want you to write today's assignment down so that your notes and thoughts are handy for the rest of the assignments during the week.
- Make a List of Last Week's Dinners: Now think back over all the dinners you ate last week. If you can, go even further back into the past few weeks to give yourself some more data points. Write down everything you can remember eating, from that spinach side dish with Monday's baked fish to the burger you ate after work on Thursday.
- That's It! Tomorrow, we'll dig a little deeper into your dinner habits and what you'd like to change, but for now, you're all done! Stash this list somewhere handy where you'll be able to find it tomorrow.
Breakfast and Lunch Check-in
We doubled up on the number of homemade meals you're making this week — how are you feeling? Were you able to get things prepped over the weekend? Feel all set with your quick-fix plans? Are you excited?! What new foods are you making this week?
Coming Up
Are you starting to get curious what we're going to do with the last week of the Cure? Well, for one thing, the goal will be to cook all your meals — breakfast, lunch, and dinner — all week long. That's 21 meals total! We know that on an ongoing basis, making all 21 meals week after week won't be realistic for everyone, but we think committing to it for just one week is a worthy challenge to cap off our Cooking Cure.
Besides a lot of meal-planning support, we have a few other treats in store. Stick with us!

You getting predictable :)
A chance of corned beef and cabbage for dinner this week:)
My lunch plan is leftovers from dinner, and I haven't been cooking dinner. This means there is no excuse for my also not keeping up with my breakfast plans. :-( I'm dealing with some other personal issues right now, though, so I'm trying to just do my best and not worry beyond that.
If I've...? You're leaving us hanging. ;-)
I did a little food prep yesterday, i.e.--baked some potatoes, steamed some green beans and sweet peppers, and hard-boiled some eggs. It feels good to have those items on hand to build meals with this week.
This week is almost too easy what with my corned beef simmering away in the slow cooker today and prospects for leftovers two other meals this week (corned beef hash with eggs one night and corned beef and swiss sandwiches on rye another night).
Technically I write this down every week, since we make a menu for the next seven days before going grocery shopping, an old habit a picked up from my mom. It is great for making sure you are balancing out difference veggies, grains, and proteins, and that you have quick things to make for busy nights.

The following response comes from internationally acclaimed salon colorist, educator and product consultant, Beth Minardi. She is recognized as one of the world's leading experts in all phases of coloring.
In your classes, you recommend Redken's Shades EQ for toning highlights and L'Oréal Professionnel's Richesse for lowlights. What's the difference and do you have favorite shades for lowlighting?—Tanja
Shades EQ is sheer, which is perfect for glazing and toning highlights, while Richesse is opaque, which makes for a great long-lasting lowlight. The Richesse Medium Brown, Auburn Brown and Light Brown shades are all very good for lowlighting. These and all Richesse shades "take" a bit deeper and a bit cooler than the color named on the tube, so formulate accordingly. A processing tip: After wrapping the last Richesse lowlight foil, I recommend you allow the hair to process with heat for 10 minutes and for an additional 15 to 20 minutes at room temperature before shampooing and conditioning.

This is very good news. Now, three more things and I'll be overjoyed...
- Remove charges from Inner Fire
- Improved Fade dumps some portion of aggro permanently
- Last, but definitely not least, MAKE DIVINE SPIRIT TRAINABLE LIKE EVERY OTHER FRAKKING BUFF IN THE GAME! (or reduce its cost down to 11 points and make it comparable with Kings if Blizz really wants to force us to dump points into Disc to get it).
Seriously? I have NEVER run out of charges for Inner Flame before the timer ran out on it. Just keep up your Power Word: Shield. But yeah, you're definitely right on Divine Spirit and Fade. Though, now that we can't heal while we kill, hopefully we'll get more than just that.

I'd like to share how I am going with paleo these days and some of my challenges and goals. Preoccupation with food began in my teenage years along with a variety of physical symptoms fuelling a lifelong search for the "perfect diet". Paleo has helped me a lot in these areas and made an enormous difference in how I look and feel today. Following this way of eating for an extended period of time and keeping a food diary has been the only way I have discovered exactly what my body reacts to and what its ideal fuel source is.
I discovered rather quickly, however, that I needed to include more carbs and other foods to sustain me longer, and so I began experimenting. I was at a good weight without any known health issues, and have been able to maintain this without being limited to a strict paleo diet. I eat safe starches like white rice and potatoes (Perfect Health Diet). I tolerate homemade sourdough (WAPF) which I eat with vegetable soup I make from bone broth (GAPS). I continue to limit grains and processed food (Paleo) but include well-soaked legumes while enjoying a cheat day on the weekend (Slow Carb). I have learned tricks such as consuming fat in a fasted state to stave off hunger (Shangri-La), useful when travelling, and you can find whey protein and various supplements in my pantry.
As well as including some foods back into my diet, I have also chosen to limit certain paleo foods as well. My long term goal is to become stronger and fitter, with less body fat. Consuming excess nuts, dried fruit and fat (baked goods!) sabotages this and I like to save these for the weekend. I also need to watch portion sizes as I'm finding that my body doesn't need to eat a lot to feel satisfied. Finding an exercise routine that I could stick to that has the right variety and intensity was challenging too. I currently do a mixture of kettlebell swings, HIIT and core strengthening exercises.
It's my opinion that for healthy active individuals a strict paleo diet is unnecessary. Having said that, I think anyone would benefit from a Whole 30 as well as a food diary when introducing foods back. There is freedom when you are able to work out which foods cause problems for you (if any) and you are able to establish an individualised plan that addresses your own needs. I'll be sure to update my progress!

By David Alexander and Phil Stewart
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The nominee to become the top U.S. military officer warned on Tuesday it would be "extraordinarily difficult and very high risk" to cut $800 billion from defense spending as part of efforts to reduce the nation's $14.3 trillion debt.
Army General Martin Dempsey appeared to push back hard in his Senate nomination hearing against proposals gaining momentum in Congress to at least double President Barack Obama's slated defense cuts of $400 billion over the next dozen years.
"National security didn't cause the debt crisis nor will it solve it," Dempsey, Obama's choice to become chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told the Senate Armed Services Committee in a written comments released in conjunction with the hearing.
The hearing on Dempsey's nomination coincided with a deadlock in Washington on finding a way to reduce the $1.4 trillion annual U.S. deficit and $14.3 trillion debt ahead of an August 2 deadline for raising the debt ceiling.
Obama earlier this year asked the Pentagon to find $400 billion in cuts to national security spending over the next 12 years. The Pentagon is reviewing how best to achieve that goal and is expected to present options to the president.
But lawmakers grappling with the debt issue have proposed even deeper cuts of $800 billion or even $1 trillion over the coming decade.
Asked about the proposals during his hearing, Dempsey said, "Based on the difficulty of achieving the $400 billion cut, I believe $800 billion would be extraordinarily difficult and very high risk."
Dempsey disagreed with the assessment of the current chairman, Admiral Mike Mullen, who has described the U.S. debt as "the single-biggest threat to our national security."
"I wouldn't describe our economic condition as the single-biggest threat to national security," he said in his written remarks. "There are a lot of clear and present threats to our security in the current operational environment."
Dempsey acknowledged the U.S. debt "is a grave concern" but said the country could not afford to "neglect the other instruments of national power" -- both military and diplomatic -- as it works to solve its fiscal problems.
Republican Senator John McCain, Obama's rival in the 2008 presidential election and a Vietnam war hero, criticized the rising pressure to cut military spending without first understanding the impact on strategy.
"Defense spending is not what is sinking this country into fiscal crisis, and if the Congress and the president act on that flawed assumption, they will create a situation that is truly unaffordable: the hollowing out of U.S. military power and the loss of faith of our military members," McCain said.
Dempsey, who only became Army chief of staff in April before his surprise nomination to become chairman, told McCain the Pentagon's comprehensive strategy for implementing Obama's $400 billion was due to be completed in late September or early October.
McCain said: "We have announced cuts without the commensurate strategy to go along with it. That's not comforting."
Dempsey said it was important for the U.S. military to demonstrate that "We are sensitive to the challenges of the broader nation" and do its part to help reduce the deficit.
"If we don't ... we will be seen as simply putting up barriers and defending ourselves against what Eisenhower famously called, you know, the military-industrial complex," he said.
