Farne Islands
2013 Highlights
The results
After three months of counting, measuring, and putting plasters on fingers, the puffin census 2013 was complete. An 8 per cent increase on 2008 was the big news, meaning that there are 39,962 pairs nesting on the Farnes, as opposed to 36,835 five years ago. Also the lateness of the breeding season means that the birds arrived here later into the summer, which was good news for visitors.
Once bitten...
Our team of National Trust rangers surveyed the entire Puffin population across nine islands. With several colony counts complete we are now well acquainted with these tough little seabirds. While a few rangers had one or two bitten fingers we are glad to report that no Puffins were harmed in the counting.
Vital statistics
As well as counting we also carry out vital scientific work including ringing and the taking of biometrics of Puffins. This allows us to see the state of the birds during the breeding season and is part of a longer running study.
Which way to the toilets?
It's not as simple as you may think, surveying Puffins. Burrows can go down 4 or 5ft and some build two chambers; one for a single egg and another for a toilet. It's often a case of lose - lose for the rangers; either get bitten or put your hand into the bird's toilet!
A hole lot of puffins
There are about 90,000 puffin burrows on the Farne Islands and over the course of the census, each one had a ranger put their arm down there and feel for beaks. If we felt one, we knew that a breeding pair occupied the burrow.
Puffin Cam
For the first time, we have been able to observe Puffins in their underground burrows. This is thanks to Puffin Cam, which was installed last season. Please click on the video below to learn more; already we have seen a egg being laid, and even the chick hatching!
Puffin-cam: our first chick
In 2013 for the first time ever we installed cameras in puffin burrows on the Farne Islands. These cameras recordedd highlights throughout the breeding season, charting the ups and downs of these plucky little birds. This incredible video shows a newly hatched chick emerging from its egg.
The Farnes Islands blog
For a behind the scenes look at life at the Farnes, follow the ranger team's blog. Find out what it's like to live in the midst of "sea-bird city", and get regular updates on who's visiting the island.
Seal tours in October
We'll once again be offering seal tours this year following the success of the previous two Octobers. Watch this space for more details of how to get up close and personal with the UK's biggest population of grey seal pups.
In 2013 we counted over 1,500 new-born pups on the Farnes with Staple Island - the destination for our Seal Tours - being the biggest contributor.

Comments about Baudville Storm Water Bottle - TEAM:
The water bottle is great! Cute design and everybody loved them! The only thing that could maybe be improved upon is pointing out that you need to press the button in order to get the nozzle to appear. A couple of the water bottles were broken this way.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Mario Lopez last friday hosted the party at LAVO in Las Vegas. The EXTRA TV host was joined by girlfriend Courtney Mazza and friends, including Robert Earl. The group first dined at the Italian eatery and Lopez even tweeted, "At LAVO in Vegas having a blast!! Eating and drinking like it's new year's.".
After dinner the couple hit the red carpet, wow Mazza has a hot post pregnancy figure, they heading up to the nightclub, where they took over several VIP tables on the dance floor. Mazza and her girlfriends immediately started dancing to the sounds of DJ Tony Martinez, while Lopez kicked back with a cigar and a cocktail. The sexy couple stopped every so often to grab a kiss and make sure they got photos of themselves and all of their friends having a great time.

Um, What? Twilight Themed Decor
Ever since I voiced my own disdain for all things Twilight, I've been on the receiving end of some wildly entertaining hate emails in addition to some equally hilarious emails from readers who sent me links to Twilight-themed decor...
From what I can tell, the vast majority of these items are either manufactured by diehard fans on Etsy or Hot Topic; and my general opinion is that in about ten years, there will be a lot of embarrassed women reminiscing over their Twilight obsessions--quite like how us thirty-somethings bond over that New Kids on the Block ice cream cake from our 11th birthday or how we manage to forget appointments and names of new people, yet still know all the words to Ice Ice Baby.
Unfortunately, that day can't come fast enough, and it seems to have infected not just teens, but women of all ages and relationship statuses. And the mayhem will just become worse since it appears they are making movies out of all the books--and quite possibly taking a cue from Harry Potter and splitting the last book into two. If that is really, truly the plan, I pray that Robert Pattinson follows the lead of Jake Ryan (aka Michael Schoeffling) and escapes to Pennsylvania to become a carpenter. I mean, look at this:
Yes, it's an Edward Cullen shower curtain. The only thing scarier than the actual product is that it is noted in the description that it was made "by request." But I still think this takes the cake:
The first time I saw this bedding, I was rendered speechless: My friend's daughter Maggie insisted on having it before she went off to summer camp, so we spent a weekend trying to locate it. Seriously, it was one of the most ridiculous trips I've ever made to the Arcadia shopping mall, and I have to admit that I almost had a panic attack at the Hot Topic because it was overrun with moms and daughters all fighting to get their hands on a set. I had to leave the shop and get my bearings at the Dippin' Dots kiosk. Anyway, with that kind of record-breaking sales figure, it's no surprise that Hot Topic has already geared up to release yet another blanket to coincide with the release of the sequel. Unfortunately, it's not as hilariously bad as this one--but it's still bad:
Like most things, Twilight-mania will blow over (...eventually); and while we may laugh about it now, here's the real question of the day: What is the most embarrassing thing you had in your room as a child?
(For the record, mine was probably a Garfield poster with the saying, "Tact is for Wienies.")
(Images: Twilight Guide, Hot Topic, Vinyl Fruit Etsy shop, Custom Shower Curtains Etsy Shop)

i had a wall of boy band posters - backstreet boys, nsync, 98 degrees, etc.
I had a few relatives that insisted on getting me creepy glass eyed porcelain dolls even though I was clearly a tomboy. The embarrassing part is that I got my hands on a nylon Slayer flag to cover them up. It clashed with the pink rose wallpaper so nicely.
that is some of the creepiest stuff i have ever seen. i thought this was a "twilight"-bashing post. i have recently sampled all thing "twilight" and am not amused.
further, it is my contention that the band of serious actors who were roped into the sequel did so (excepting young dakota fanning) at the likely threat of being murdered by their own children.
Posters of U2 and Patrick Swayze (had a severe crush on the latter thanks to the "North and South" miniseries; crap, am I dating myself?).
@coyotbeck: I was/am a tomboy too. I took over my brother's room after he moved out and apart from taking down the Farrah Fawcett and Cheryl Tiegs posters, I didn't change a thing. He had a black furniture and gray-black paneling on the walls. So no girly wallpaper here, thank gawd! ;o)
Teen heartthrob posters like Jonathan Taylor Thomas and Andrew Keegan. *cringe*
To my credit, I also like Greenday, so I had one of their posters up too.
Star Wars bedsheets.
OMG, Gvinton, JTT. My girlfriends and I had him and Devon Sawa and Brad Renfro posters all over the place. So embarrassing.
I had many a picture of Corey Haim torn from the pages of Tiger Beat and the like and stapled to my walls. And, the piece de resistance, a Nelson poster. Yes. Nelson. The blonde-twin-brother rock band. Embarrassing.
But my redemption is that I eventually traded the Nelson poster for a poster of The Lost Boys (the movie)-- which rocked hard core. So, I've still got a shred of my dignity (unlike my friend, who actually traded the awesome Lost Boys poster FOR my Nelson poster--poor girl).
I was a weird kid. I had a 8x10 picture of a the bust of Julius Caesar (bought from a museum gift shop), postcards of random Egyptian artifacts (also from the museum), a map of Alexander the Great's empire that I copied from a book onto a piece posterboard, a poster of Lord of the Rings (this was way before the movies, so it the one painted by Jimmy Cauty), and a giant poster of a unicorn (my only girly obsession).
Apartmenttherapy posters would approve of the rest of my room though. My parents got most of my furniture second-hand except for my bed, which had a bookshelf headboard type thing. I never noticed the furniture - it was utilitarian, which was all I cared about. The nesting instinct or whatever I seem have now that causes me to read apartmenttherapy.com is relatively new. ;)
Oh, and that was a description of my room as a tween. By the time I got to high school all I had on the wall was the Lord of the Rings poster and a calendar. White walls. Guess I've been fan of minimalism for a while.
#JeffC: Dude, I still have Star Wars bedsheets. Or more accurately, my daughter has them. Mickey & Minne Mouse bedsheets, too.
As much as I hate Twilight, I have to admit that the shower curtain has a lot of irony potential. Especially since the character is such a creepy stalker bastard, having that giant head watch you during your morning ablutions strikes me as really funny.
You know, not funny enough to actually buy it, but funny.
Much like Twilight itself, Twilight's products are hilarious.
I've gotten friends Twilight candy hearts (with choice words like Sparkle) and eau de Bella fragrance (with genuine notes of whatever Edward finds irresistible about her scent). It's just so entertainingly tacky
That "Be safe" Edward decal would scare the bejesus out of me at night.
Ok, I had Nsync posters, and my sisters old Johnny Depp and the two corey's posters up! At least they were some good eye candy. lol. I think if my hubby would let me get away with johnny depp still, i might have him up!
Giant photo of a smiling Kurt Cobain, with the words "I hate myself and I want to die" underneath. First poster I ever purchased for myself. It was up on the wall for most of my adolescence.
That "be safe" thing makes it seem like Robert Pattinson is watching over you, making sure you remember to use a condom.
OMG....what is this world coming to?
A D.A.R.E bumpersticker. There are still remnants on the door.
@kellylc, me too. That is one of the creepiest things I have ever seen.
a colleague and i purchased an edward standee for a twilight-obsessed coworker - and had it delivered to the office. her face when she opened the box? priceless!
@beth.b - Hahahah, and THAT is truly scary.
I actually really like that first bedroom...minus the public service message for promotion of birth control from our friend Edward the blood sucking vampire, of course.
I definitely had New Kids on the Block posters. I wrote them a fan letter and got one of those mass produced replies and safely stashed them in between my Babysitters Club books and Archie comics. Jordan was my favorite, btw.
And yes, I loved Patrick Swayze because of Dirty Dancing and North and South (I'm with you, Annegret!).
I also had a lot of teen magazines like Teen Bop lying around. Corey Haim was hot, the other one was not.
Ugh...those memories...I'm so glad no one knows me here :)
Grace, you are officially my favorite AT blogger.
Oh man, Twilight sure brings the crazy...
*looks shifty*
If sparkly vampires are impaled on a wooden stake do they bleed glitter?
Some of the "embarassing" stuff I had as a kid I still have up. Namely my Pee-Wee's Playhouse stuff. I still use the towel when I work out. The most unusual thing I did as a kid had to do more with my obsession with Tim Burton movies. I had some of his movie posters up but the jewel in this box was the photo montage I did of the man himself. Just pictures of Tim Burton. I'm kinda proud of it since he wasn't exactly the most photographed individual in the world.
asdf3001, probably my favorite thing I've read all day. Actually, probably my favorite thing I've ever read relating to Twilight, just...ever. My sister-in-law is one of those obsessed "Twilight Moms"...I'm trying to figure out how my brother-in-law would react to a Christmas gift of that shower curtain.
I had posters of Mulder and Scully up all over my room. I believe I have officially out-geeked you all.
Only poster I had as a kid was a giant John Coltrane ( A Love Supreme) album cover 5'x5'. But I did have H.R. Puffinstuff stickers on my wall *shivers*...
Vampires do not have blood HELLO
asdf3001, you just MADE my day.
I'm going to use that line on all my twilight-crazy friends. Thank you.
Well, it's hard to judge when I had my walls plastered with Backstreet Boys posters and was jealous of my friend's New Kids on the Block sleeping bag. I love the Twilight movies and I do think Rob is cute, but this just doesn't work for anyone over 12.
clampers, they do. in "twilight" their full of whoever/whatever's blood they have drunk. and if they're newly turned, they're still full of their own human blood for a year.
i had a new kids on the block sleeping bag when i was 5, when i got a little older it was JTT and devon sawa posters from teen beat on my walls. then in junior high it was posters of gavin rossdale and blink 182.
in highschool i started to get over plastering my walls with boys-
Allowing kids to put stuff up all over their room was saved for college when I was a teen-ager. Otherwise ... it would have been the Beatles, specifically Paul.
When I think about it, my high school bedroom was almost out of Chekhov. My mother allowed me to choose the color and the interior, limited as it was. The walls were painted a color called Alice Blue. The woodwork was painted white. Instead of curtains, I asked for shutters, which had blue material screening the bottom row. The shutters were white. The furniture was an old double-bed and matching dresser from my grandmother's farm-house. It was a heavy dark wood, very much out of style at the time but I wanted it because it was "different" and I was in to old things.
Mid-century modern was for my parents' generation, and no young person in his or her right mind wanted it in their room.
The really fashionable went for curvy old Victorian pieces, but that was mostly in college. Most kids had mass-produced generic type furniture in their bedrooms.
My desk at the time was a piece of modern furniture, a flat slab-top in some kind of ash-blonde wood, held up by ash-blonde sputnick style legs. I'm sure it wasn't solid wood because I remember noting the strange fakeness of the veneer. It had no storage capability whatsoever other than a single middle drawer at the top.
The desk was the first piece of furniture that I can recall being assembled. Furniture wasn't assembled before then; it was delivered.
The one weird thing I did was paint "Little Sheba" in gold letters on my pristine white bedroom door. I have no idea what it meant. I just wanted to irritate my mother and make her realize that I was a sexual being. Of course, it accomplished both purposes, but it was still weird.
Wow - I must be the old lady on the block here! I had monster movie pictures on my walls - ripped carefully from the pages of Famous Monsters of Filmland plus a few Teen Beat photos of various flavor of the month (mostly British invasion) bands. But my most embarrassing item was the room decor itself - my mom painted all my furniture ORANGE! The wallpaper was tiny orange stripes, the rocker was covered in orange vinyl - even the linoleum rug was orange! ~cringe~
@ clampers
hello, apparently you haven't been watching twilight or true blood where vampires cry blood.
GIANT NKOTB pin. GIANT. on my denim jacket.
I'm sorry, is this a joke? That bedding set is just awful! When I was a tween, I never got into fads or even cared what my bedding looked like! I'm amazed that these little girls are going crazy for this crap!
Hey, I would not be embarrassed about having a Patrick Swayze poster! I believe I had a Michael Bolton one I got for free somewhere. Gross!
Leave it to a good mormon mom to write an abstinence series that has the girls on fire!
@undercover -- me too.
Mulder, Scully and also a huge picture of J.D. Salinger that I printed off on the printer at school.
even further back in my past was a Tiffany poster. *hides*
Wow. That bedding. Just, wow. (in a BAD way, of course.)
Refuse to read the books, even though I am a librarian, and everyone asks if I have. (Hey, my free time is my own, and that's not going to be part of it!)
I can't remember any specific embarrassing decor, unless maybe it was my own art when I was young and it was awful. I might have had something but I don't recall it.(Never any fad stuff, there were no stores for such and I had no cash for such where I grew up).
... well, I still love the xfiles, but I had some of that crap all over the place lol
Jonathan Brandis was the guy for me back in the day , I too shudder at that thought lol
Sailor Moon posters. Like, ten of them. BLECH!
Although these items are horrific, it is difficult to say much after our New Kids On the Block obsession.
Now, granted we were 10, and I have a feeling that custom shower curtain was not for a child.
THANK YOU GRACE! I despise twilight and refuse to read it because I know if I read it I would end up hating it more. I don't understand why anyone over the age of 13 would ever own this twilight stuff.
To all you twilight fanatics please keep your obsession to yourselves, its getting a little ridiculous.
At least New Kids on the Block stuff had some color to it, compared to the black depressing twilight memorabilia..
I had a HUGE poster of the Spice Girls. lol
I don't know if I can really get all uppity about this Twilight merch!! Maybe none of us bought crazy stuff like Edward shower curtains and wall decals back in the day, but that's probably just because it wasn't available. I had a friend who got a picture of her favorite Backstreet Boy iron-transfered onto a pillowcase. Though I think my friend's Nick Carter pillowcase is beyond gross now, at the time it didn't seem that far out.
Xanadu, Free to Be You and Me,Wham!, John Travolta in "Staying Alive", Gypsy (the musical) stuff,Seventeen magazine fashions, but mostly E.T. (adolescence was better with Cyndi Lauper, Grace Jones, Siouxsie the Banshees pics...file under no need to come out gay/state the obvious).
It was a mixture of Sailor Moon posters and Hanson pictures. EVERYWHERE! I feel so awful on having my parents buy me all those awful magazines that were like $4 each!
Thank you for this. That shower curtain made my day.
Most embarassing thing in my room? Maybe the curtains. My dad worked really hard as a single parent but interior decorating just wasn't his thing. He refused to put any decent money into getting us "real" window coverings so he got this furry zebra fabric from the FabricLand discount rack, folded over the top to make a rodpocket, and hung them above my window on a metal pole from Home Depot. They weren't hemmed and those fuzzy 'hairs' would fly all over EVERYTHING I owned if I dared so much as crack open my window.
That, or like, the 50 'Cherished Teddies' figurines. When I was a kid I was throughly "gawth".. black clothing and metal and the whole bit. Little porcelain collectables didn't really go with my 'look'.
nelson posters, kirk cameron (which I would blow kisses to and really kind of regret now)... not so much the corey's but definitely kiefer... (omg, i can't believe i'm writing this) a michael bolton & richard marx cd covers (remember they used to come in those huge paper boxes). i was so lame...
My parent's wouldn't let us hang posters in our rooms nor would they buy us themed bedspreads, but they did feed my collection of unicorn and pagasus knicknacks when I was in grade school. Thankfully all of that was passed on to Goodwill.
A b/w pastel portrait of myself when I was 6 years old. Not in caricature style but I looks so sad (I'm sure I had to pose for a quite a while) you'd think it was one. Still have it and it makes me wonder just what were my parents thinking? Must dig it up and have a chuckle.
I laughed so hard that I spit a little on my computer screen!
I would be completely freaked out by the "Be safe" and the shadow of that guy!
I had pictures from Vogue and shopping bags from Esprit on my wall. I also had pictures of Jon Bon Jovi and a picture of a Jaguar xjs. Weird.
I actually had all my Backstreet Boys and NSync posters up in the basement and not in my room. I think girls under 14 should go all out on their Twilight obession, it's the last time in their lives they'll be able to indulge in lunacy without actually seeming like a lunatic. People over 13 and obsessed with Twilight should know they're much, much further down the lameness foodchain than Trekkies and they should think about that.
beth.b: I thought the same thing. That sillouette is definitely encouraging condom use, which is strange because those books are about celibacy. None of this is as fucked as the Twilight vibrator though (http://tantusinc.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=TD&Product_Code=VAMP). Necrophilia anyone?
The shower curtain is kind of cool.
I made a collage (an entire wall's worth) of 311 (the band) memorabilia along with some not-so-obvious stoner posters. That was from age 13-17. Before that? I shared a room with my two older sisters, so I probably didn't have much choice. What little space I had probably had some random things that were not girly... I was a tomboy too.
JeffC, Star Wars posters are nothing to be embarrassed about :) They're awesome. My grandparents had a treehouse in their backyard that was wallpapered with Star Wars paper, I would so KILL for a roll of that stuff now. I would also totally have Star War sheets now, but my fiance isn't super into Star Wars. I tried to explain that his office needed one of the classic movie posters, nicely framed (since my office has literally no space to hang posters with floor to ceiling windows and floor to ceiling bookcases) but he wasn't feeling it. I think he'd be creeped out by sleeping on Darth Vader or Han Solo. I'd totally love it though! The vintage designed sheets though, not the newer stuff.
I'm not ashamed of my NKOTB-ness days (I had one of the 'ken' dolls that I carried around, that part IS kind of embarrassing though. I think it was Jordan, but I preferred Donny, the 'bad boy' - my parents would not buy me anything Donny as they did not want to condone that fascination, ha!) but I am kind of embarrassed about my floor to ceiling JTT, Andrew Keegen, Brad Renfrew, Devon Sawa posters. Literally there was no wall showing. I wish I had a picture, it would be great for a laugh!
Ok, guys. I'm going to out myself as a 27 year old twilight fan. I got suckered into reading the books by a couple friends and have been hooked ever since. That being said, I am enough of an adult that I would never seriously contemplate using twilight in my decor. I have way too much pride in my home to do something like that.
However, I was a teenager once, and I went to boarding school for high school. My dorm room was plastered floor to ceiling with NSYNC posters and memorabilia. That is all. :p
I'm 47 now,so I had a poster of Donny Osmond,but it appeared as if he had a big booger in his nose.I didn't really like him,but my friends did.I was secretly in love with David Bowie which would have been hard to explain.
"Twatlight." And, no thank you.
Christian Slater posters EVERYWHERE...it was close to the end of his hey day though...around the time of Kuffs and Robin Hood.
and Brad Pitt and members of the NEW Mickey Mouse Club!
never had the teeny bopper sleeping bag or bedding...my bedding was usually floral with matching colored blinds....eek!

My cousin painted an X-Files mural on her bedroom wall, complete with Mulder's catchphrase, "I want to believe."
Oh my. I don't begrudge tweens & teens having Twilight-mania, but it embarrasses me when grown women do.
That said, I had a few giant NKOTB posters on my walls as a junior higher.
I like the saga, but hell no I would even attempt to touch my walls or change my stuff for THAT merchandise, I mean, it would scare the sh**t out of me to wake up with that shadow in front of my face or bath with a huge Edward-headed shower curtain!

MUNICH (Reuters) - German lighting maker Osram Licht AG
Osram, the world's No. 2 lighting maker after Philips
It said on Tuesday it was now cutting an overall 8,700 jobs, or 21 percent of its workforce, to generate gross savings of 1.2 billion euros ($1.6 billion).
So far, only two of Osram's remaining 36 factories make LEDs - in Regensburg, Germany and Penang, Malaysia - but it is building a new plant in China at a cost of over 100 million euros to boost its presence in the fast-growing Asian market.
Meanwhile, newer players in lighting such as South Korea's Samsung Electronics <005930.KS> and Japan's Toyoda Gosei <7282.T> are grabbing market share from traditional industry leaders - Philips, Osram and General Electric
In its year to the end of September, the company, spun off from Siemens
That fell slightly short of analysts' consensus forecast of 38.2 million euros in a Reuters poll.
($1 = 0.7459 euros)

I don't think the original person's idea was to make all of the racial abilities available to all other races, just the ones that any member of any race could have picked up in their life. Any orc or draenei could have picked up a proficiency with swords, not just humans. And honestly, not all humans would pick up extra skill with a sword. Priests can't even use swords so how would he pick up extra skill with one??

Using Fabric Dye to Create a Rug Pattern!
You may recognize this photo from a recent Apartment Therapy DC post about an article from Elle Decor, profiling the home of Alexandra Wentworth and George Stephanopoulos. After the article was published, it was revealed that Alexandra used a surprising DIY method to make that rug...
In the subsequent Elle Decor issue, there was mention of how much readers loved Alexandra's purple swirl rug. To which she confessed that "in an effort to camouflage stains" she "dribbled purple fabric dye"! Apparently George thought it was a new carpet. What a brilliant idea. This is making us looking at those white or off-white carpet remnants on Craigslist in a whole new light.
Has anyone tried this trick before?

Well, I don't actuallly like the result, so I wouldn't be likely to try it... (Might come from being an art teacher in my dim and distant past, and this looking very amateurish to me...)
It probably looks amateurish to you NOW that you know it was a DIY. Obviously it was stunning enough to get into ElleDecor.
Personally it's not my taste but it does add some funk to such an elegant space
I like how "different" it is compared to machine-made designs, but it isn't my taste either. It would be fun to dye a rug and not be so sparing with the color or pattern. Go for something really funky and out there and really make it the focal point of the room.
This may be a good way to fake a Moroccan rug by making a zig zag pattern with paint.
I did this about 10 years ago as a teen. I'd post a picture if I had one at my current dwelling. The carpet in my bedroom was this ancient blue thing...and my parents didn't want to or couldn't afford to replace it. But my mother definitely let my creative side run wild: she bought me some black dye. We did a psychedelic swirl pattern (think hypnotism). The black came off on my socks until my dad brought a steamer home from work. Lots of salt didn't hurt either. It looked pretty well done, but I understand the comments about amateurism...my parents finally ripped up the carpet last year and let me install wood flooring throughout the house. Ours wasn't a look you'd keep without a teen.
I like everything in that room except the rug and that bright purple pouf.
Geez... picky picky picky. I think it's cool.
I think it's cool, too. I especially love the rug and the purple pouf. It's moroccan. Good quality moroccan pouf. They're cultured and well-traveled and clearly not afraid to take decorating risks. They're part of the establishment/glitterati/intelligentsia but not quite. It speaks volumes about them. Love it.
I like it all. In fact the rug looks a lot better than a lot of the posts linked to craft items on Etsy.
I love the rug-the pattern and color brings a good dose of whimsy into a stiffly formal setting. Without it and the pouf, the room looks like something I'd expect to see in Architectural Digest.
I have to agree with bepsf.
The rug is beautiful even if not to everyone's taste. I'm surprised people are so divided about it.
Looks charming, and makes the room fresh and lively instead of dull and stodgy.
love the rug. it looks amateurish because it is amateur and there is nothing wrong with that. I'd rather have a room with a stamp of individuality, better yet, my own handiwork, than a room that could look like it could belong to anyone else.
kudos for the DIY effort but it's the only thing in the room i do not like. looks like someone accidentally spilled grape juice and decided to make it look like it was done on purpose.
Love this idea and love the rug. Hopefully someone who has done this before will catch wind of this blog post and give us some details on how to go about dying a rug. I can think of all kinds of possibilities on the idea of the process.
I love this idea! As a studio art major this is a whole new medium I need to try!
I'm not really a fan of the color though; I think the rug is a little distracting. I would have tried to use less dye and a similar color to the paint behind the shelves.
Love it or hate it, the rug brings life and movement to an otherwise (sorry) soul-less and predictable space. Now, if anyone has any similar ideas for disguising the tea stain on the front of my favourite t-shirt.....
I think I'd like the pouf if there were some other things that color in the room- maybe something on the mantle and a pillow or 2, otherwise it just looks completely out of place to me. I looove the color behind the books.
I actually really like the way the rug looks and definitely wouldn't have known it was fabric dye without having it pointed out. I honestly think the reactions would have been a lot different if this wasn't a diy.
@AcrossThePond-- You could probably use fabric dye, as well.
I probably could Haley but, knowing my luck, I'd spill half of it all over my carpet...
The pink pouf is fun -- imagine all the uncomfortable Republicans who are invited to sit on it.
...and replace the painted rug with an Afghan...

It's the Dead Horse Man. Half man, half dead horse.
Because of this YOU CAN'T BEAT HIM (LOI) but he's dead, so the best he can do to attack is to rot on you.

Burridge Official Website, 2013.
Though the work presented on this website is from a diverse range of projects, additions in the 2010 blog section reflect ideas introduced in the following Abstract.
Interior and Exterior Space: A Skewed Phenomenology
This venture aims to explore qualities of space, in both its psychological and phenomenological aspects. Abstract architecture is a basis from which to examine the boundaries between interior and exterior. My interdisciplinary practice produces work that intensifies elements of spectatorship, mass ornamentation and architecture.
The initial experimentation for the project took form from the visual manipulation of groups of students, harsh light, large open spaces such as ovals and in observance of the abstract architectural forms created by Julie Mehretu, Daniel Libeskind and Zaha Hadid.
This work transformed into an inquiry questioning whether the proliferation of objects and subjects affects the boundaries between inside and outside. Labyrinthine, patterned architecture sprawled across a mental landscape perforated with bunkers and plateaus.
An obsession with boundaries, contrast and extremes of place led to the creation of 'the Agoraphobe' from whose eyes, and those of her confederates, I began to reshape the world.
This practice exists as a structure in which envelopes of light can be noticed and conveyed. The intention has been to contextualise theory into practice and stress space in order to engage with it.

Sportbet Sunday Football
Ready for the 2013/2014 football betting season and free NFL week 9 predictions. It will be another exciting NFL football betting season and nothing is more important than winning money with free expert NFL picks! Be sure to check out our NFL predictions each and every week at Sportbet Sportsbook.
Mid season is here and week 9 Sunday night game brings us the Colts playing against the Texans, the Colts are coming off a win to the Broncos and after this game they will be looking to get on a winning role and because they are going against the Texans this is almost assured.
The Houston Texans were the team that starting the season was causing people to look back at the way they played, but as the week by week passed they started to flunk and injuries started to kick in. Now with Case Keenum in the center they are trying to set up to the competitions but truth be told it is a little late in the season for that.
The Indianapolis Colts are sitting at 5 - 2 and they are playing their third consecutive primetime game but sadly their game hasn't been the most reliable one and having in mind that they are playing against a team that has one of the best pass defenses in the league, it will make the game have an extra spice on the way they react.
In the end it will be a close game but I see Andrew Luck and the Colts winning and covering the spread.
Want to place a bet on the NFL log on or call into Sportbet. Sportbet Football betting brings Vegas home to you.

Charm me asleep, and melt me so
With thy delicious numbers,
That, being ravish'd, hence I go
Away in easy slumbers.
Ease my sick head,
And make my bed,
Thou power that canst sever
From me this ill,
And quickly still,
Though thou not kill
My fever.
Thou sweetly canst convert the same
From a consuming fire
Into a gentle licking flame,
And make it thus expire.
Then make me weep
My pains asleep;
And give me such reposes
That I, poor I,
May think thereby
I live and die
'Mongst roses.
Fall on me like the silent dew,
Or like those maiden showers
Which, by the peep of day, do strew
A baptism o'er the flowers.
Melt, melt my pains
With thy soft strains;
That, having ease me given,
With full delight
I leave this light,
And take my flight
For Heaven.
–Robert Herrick, To Music, to becalm his Fever (ca. 1660) in Chrysomela: A Selection from the Lyrical Poems of Robert Herrick p. 229 (F.T. Palgrave ed. 1876)
Download a reading of Herrick's To Music for your iPod or MP3 player here.
Of the seventeenth century English poets, Herrick's work has the closest inherent relationship to music. It is melodious, and most of his poems (excepting perhaps the more religiously themed ones) have the character of song about them. Among his contemporaries, in fact, Herrick is called "the songwriter," and settings of some of his poems survive (unfortunately for him, the poetry is much better than the music.) Still reading this particularly beautiful effort (note especially: "Fall on me like the silent dew, / Or like those maiden showers/ Which, by the peep of day, do strew/ A baptism o'er the flowers." The construction and language are wonderful), I think immediately of John Dowland's songs, especially the Second and Third Books. There is an inescapably downbeat angle to them, but they are beautiful, lyrical and thematically very close to Herrick.
Listen to John Dowland's Lachrymae Pavane as performed by Winston Arblaster in the Bishop's Chapel, Wells, England – there are no lyrics for this "dance of tears," so imagine Herrick's appeal to the curative power of music.

A beautiful, voluptuous woman goes to a well known Dallas gynecologist. The doctor takes one look at the woman and all of his professionalism goes out the window. He immediately asks her to undress. After she has disrobed, the doctor begins stroking her thigh."Do you know what I�m doing?" he asks."Yes," she replies. "You�re checking for any abrasions or abnormalities.""That�s right," says the doctor. Emboldened, he then begins to fondle her breasts. "Do you know what I�m doing now?""You�re checking for any lumps or breast cancer," she replies."Correct," says the doctor. Deciding to go for broke, he mounts her and begins having sex with her. "Do you know what I�m doing now?""Yes," she says. "You�re getting herpes and genital warts�which is why I came here in the first place."

My child is now a Second grader at Henry Barnard. He started his attendance here in Kindergarten. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this school. My child has special needs and has struggled with ADHD as well. The teaching staff, office staff, and Principal have all been so supportive and worked with him to help him achieve the highest success. The wonderful staff at this school is open minded and has been so encouraging. I need to add that my child gets special assistance from Occupational Therapy as well. This is something that many schools don't have the means to assist with. The TLC program has also been a huge assistance when we struggled with our reading. My child has improved significantly with all the extra help and the staff that have gone above and beyond.
This school goes the extra mile for every student. The teachers and especially the principal go out of their way to help a student with any problems that arise. An all round great school for children!
I think that Henry Barnard is a wonderful school. My son is in the first grade and he has a wonderful teacher and the principal is wonderful. My son at times has behavioral issues but they dont let him get away with it, they really care. They've set up meetings fro the parents and staff to talk. They've also put him into a program called pride patrol to encourage good behavior. The communication between teachers principal and parents is superb. I couldnt ask for anything more. Thank you all for all of your hard work.
My child is in the 1st grade and was in the tlc reading lab which helped her tremendously with her reading skills ,I am impressed with her accomplishments from the extra help she recieved.
Overall, I am happy with the way Henry Barnard runs. My kids are coming from Eli Whitney and I am a little discouraged that HB does not offer more help in the reading area. My now second grader was recieving extra help in Eli Whitney, where she would be taken out of class and be put with three or four other children who also needed help. I found this very helpful and wish Henry Barnard had a program like that.
My son is currently in Kindergarten, I knew he was struggling with his speech/language skills. My son was assessed by a professional and it was decided that he needed extra help. I really want to say that I appreciate the carring teachers who recognized that there is a problem and we need to help fix it. My son's kidergarten staff was very supportive of this. I can not express how greatful I'am to have my child around such caring professionals and is also greatful that Henry Barnard have the program to help out children with these kind of issues, the teachers really cared and I really thank them for that, its not easy dealing with something like that, we all want our children to excell in all areas and the staff at Henry Barnard are there to help them all achieve that goal. Thank you all so much!!
My two girls have goon to this school for the last three years. The teachers are great. Although the office staff is just there to work and not for the kids. If the town would stop spending money on marble signs in front of the town hall. Then they could help the schools much more. This school does need work. If only they would listen.
I think that Henry Barnard Elementary, from my experience, is a good school. Enfield, in general, is having difficulties finding the funding to run the school system optimally. However, the principal and staff are working extremely hard to ensure that the students are receiving the best education possible in spite of budgetary shortfalls. I am particularly impressed with the art curriculum. My son has excelled under both of his teachers so far. I am especially impressed with the younger instructors who are bringing fresh ideas and techniques into the classrooms. This is necessary in light of the new challenges they face in terms of students' needs and educational mandates. I find this school welcoming and grateful for any and all assistance and involvement from parents. I just wish that more parents took advantage of this opportunity to become in involved in their child's education.
I would just like to say that I think that this school is wonderful. Not only do they help the children deal with what ever problems may arise the guidance councilor is a huge help. I have had a few issues with a teacher but after speaking with her she did what needed to be done. I have two children now in this school and they both love the teachers and the school alike.
There is absolutely no communication between the school and the parents. The school is unwilling to listen and hear the needs of the children as well as the concerns of the parents.

(( Forgive my writing skills, I'm an amateur. Aaand it might be cheesy and habe grammatical // spelling errors but hey it's 3 am pfff.))
Lightning formed a noticeable crack across the night sky for a few seconds followed by the boom of thunder, scaring those who are skittish making most of them cover their ears or perhaps hide under the covers. The Moppet girl, who was now 20 years of age, stormed into her house, soaked. Her mother was about to ask her was happened but was interrupted by the slam of her door. She quickly changed into new, dry clothes and rested her forehead against the wall before letting a sigh of frustration escape her lips.
She sat in front of her computer and chatted for a few hours, passing the midnight tick. Her internet friends were the onky ones who would understand her problems, she was stressful with college work. Projects were given every single week and the only activity she could do to relieve her stress was surf the internet and blog about her life.
The girl still remembered back when she always went to an arcade to play thw games there. Adjusting her glasses, she thought " What was the name ofbthat arcade..? Watson? Liason? Litwer? Lit..uhm.. ". After a few mumbles and facepalms, she exclaimed with joy " Litwak's arcade! " . The grin that sprouted on her face changed to a pout " …what am I thinking..? Games are for kids. I'm not a kid anymore.. " moppet started talking to herself.
" Video games are for kids only? What are you, thick? Video games are for all ages! " she continued to convince herself before sighing " Stop talking to yourself..".
A thought suddenly rushed into her mind when she remembered fistbumping that princess from that candy go kart game. Then the times she always played this game with a wrecking guy and then there was Pacman. Good times. Another thought popped in right after she asked herself a question mentally; 'Why did I fistbump that princess? Wasn't she just a program? '. That was when she remembered that she used to think that the games were alive. Moppet laughed for a solid miute before slowing down.
She got up from her seat and looked out the window to see an old bridge in the distance. Even though the name of the arcade was a blur to her, the location of it remained clear. " …I guess it wouldn't hurt to visit tomorrow.. "
The skies were cloudy the next day and she left at the right time as it was when Litwak just opened. She came in right after the large group of kids rushed in. When she was young, she would have ran in with them, feeling the excitement of entering his arcade.
It looked a little older and dustier from the outside but as she entered, nothing has changed at all. The floor carpet, the ceiling, the atmospheric feeling, it alk felt so nostalgic to her! She felt the happiness that she hasn't felt since many years ago. Her eyes wandered around the arcade as she was looking for Litwak.
There at the counter, was the man. Looking older than ever. He coughed fkr a moment before yawning and stretching himself. She walked over to him and grinned " Mr.Litwak! ". The arcade owner turned over to face her and blinked. " Yes, young lady? How may I help you? ".
" Don't you remember me? " she asked, still having the enthusiastic grin on her face. Litwak stood up and straightened himself, the sound of bones cracking baeely audible, before looking at her " Can't say that I do, miss.. There are many kids that come to my arcade and I don't remember a young adult like you! " he said, trying to not sound blunt.
Her grin faded into a smile " It's okay Mr.Litwak, I understand. I've been in your arcade many times when I was younger! Then I didn't come anymore because of high scho-"
" Mr.Litwak! " called a kid, interrupting her sentence. Litwak walked around the counter " Oh sorry, miss, let me just handle this kid for a moment ". She turned around and watched as Mr.Litwak was helping a kid who was reporting about a busted game.
Beside that console was a rather familiar looking game. The cabinet was in blue and yellow with bullet-shaped citizens and a mechanic on it. Her eyes widened as she saw the title " Fix it Felix.Jr ". She quickly went over to the console and looked at the screen, her mouth agape.
After a few moments, Litwak caught up with her again and chuckled " Oh! I see you've taken an interest in this game! " he patted the side of the console. She quickly reached into her pocket and got out her wallet, paying him a dollar " C-can I h-have a q-quarter pl-please Mr.Litwak? " she stuttered in excitement. Litwak chuckled once more and passed her a quarter, " Whoa! You must REALLY like this game ! "
She breathed in and out, pushing the quarter in.
" I'M GONNA WRECK IT! " yelled a familiar character. She squeed " Th-the wrecking guy! ". The Moppet girl watched in excitement as the Nicelanders did their usual cry for help. The mechanic in blue walked out of the corner and she spoke in sync with him " I can fix it! ".
Litwak watched in amusement as she played the game in total enthusiasm. Boy, she was excited. He had no time for her though, he had other kids to help too. He left her to play the game alone.
After finishing the final level, she watches as the wrecking guy gets thrown off the building and into the mud. Her inner self told her to talk to the game. She couldn't resist, her hand extended to touch the screen " Hello, guys.. it's been so many years..! ".
The game screen continued as usual showing her the 'Insert 1 quarter to play' screen. She sighed in relief and backed away from the console " Wow.. that was..amazing..". Two twins then came and started to play the game. Her smile did not disappear, she was too happy. She bought a ton of quarters and played every single game in the arcade, not getting sick of them. Not at all. It was then noon and she ran out of change. Litwak was taking a break at this time of the day.
She walked up to him and he laughed " I've never seen a young adult like you get so excited over video games..! ". The gamer nodded, " Well..you see.. you wouldn't mind me explaining, right? ". As expected, he shook his head " Of course not, sweetheart! I'm ears open! Plus it's my break time, heh. "
" You see.. I've been pretty stressed out with college work and the only stress relieving activity I ever do is…skyping with my friends or..blogging.. that's all. " she sighed " ..When I was younger, I always come here to get away from life and just have fun! But see.. I am really into video games because..I think that they are more than just video games..! "
Litwak squinted and leaned a little closer.
" ..how do I say this..uh.. well.. I sort of… think that the video gane characters are.. " an awkward expression dawned upon her face " ..alive? ". Closing her eyes and biting her lip, she quickly spoke " Please don't think that I'm crazy, it's just an opinion! "
He leaned back against his chair and placed a hand under his chin, thinking for a moment. Litwak looked up to her as she adjusted her glasses. " I agree with you. " he simply said. The moppet girl's mouth was agape again " Really?! ". He nodded and suggested " In fact, why don't you come over to the arcade after it's closed? I can show you something! "
She raised an eyebrow " Really? That's suspicious, I mean I know that you're a nice guu and all but.. you know, humanity nowadays.." she folded her arms. Litwak bounced up from his seat " Mother of codes, sweetheart, no! I'd never do that if that's what you're thinking! I'm not that type of person! " he quickly clarified. She nodded " You better not be! I learn Martial Arts! ".
Her gaze switched from Litwak to th arcade's exit for a few seconds. Her hand scratched her head as she walked towards it " Alright! See you later, Litwak! " she waved before exiting. Litwak nodded to himself " So..I'm not the only one.. "
As promised, she came back to the arcade to meet up with Litwak. She opened the door and saw Litwak standing in the middle of the arcade. He looked at her and widened his eyes " You actually came! ". She nodded " Of course! " and closed the door behind her before walked up to him, tucking the Pepper spray in her pocket just in case.
He guided her to the Fix it Felix.Jr console and looked at it. She frowned " So…what do you want to show me? ". Litwak smiled and tapped on the console's screen before the game paused. The wrecking guy blinked and stopped what he was doing before looking straight at the girl.
She was confused, very confused. Felix peeped out of the corner and stood beside the wrecking guy. The both of them stared at her for a few moment before waving at her.
The moppet girl smiled and waved back.

I make something like those gingersnaps. My recipe is from Cooking Light. They are delicious.
If it's chewy, how is does it "snap"?
i think the spice of ginger is the "snap."
Wait, so the ginger part is ginger and the snap part is also ginger? As in..."gingergingers"? Why aren't they just "ginger cookies" then?
