Before & After: From Scribbles to a Clever Surprise
Mia's kids scribbled on her microfiber sofa with an extra-strong, "rub a dub" Sharpie which is marketed as, "stays permanent through washing and dry cleaning." But instead of getting mad (well, she was probably a little mad), she found an easy way to hide the marks, while including a clever nod to the makeover's inspiration.
From smudged scribbles to lyrical script! Now, it looks like a glam accent rather than a messy accident.
From Mia:
After the incident, I tried to save my sofa but I guess it was too light in colour because it just smudged the scribbles, making my sofa look even dirtier. So I had to come up with a quick solution: a no-sew sofa cover. The whole project took me 15 minutes and cost less than $8.
See how she did it at Mossy Jojo.
Thank you Mia!

This is a clever idea to hide the scribbles. I really appreciate that she did not get rid of the sofa and just buy another. I would probably have covered all of the seat cushions, however.
The irony is that the "repair" makes the sofa way more chic.
Now it's unique, in a good way! Good for you for not recovering the entire thing or even getting rid of the sofa. If you changed all the covers to those ones it would look too busy but the way you have it is perfect!
That before photo made my blood pressure rise.
@cakowalik... I had the same reaction...
This isn't making lemonade out of a sour situation - it's limoncello! Well done.
It looks nice and is a good temporary solution. Mia says on the website that she just tucked the fabric pieces in around the cushions without even pinning, and that they stay in place well--I guess I have my doubts about that.
I have tried similar 'fixes' and tucked in fabric doesn't stay well through daily use especially with wiggly children. Maybe she should consider sewing simple covers with that nice fabric. Just my opinion.
This is why I'm hesitant to have kids, because there's no way the outcome of the story would have been positive in any way.
Having kids is a good lesson in letting go. They will find the sharpies no matter where they are hidden. They will destroy something at some point. Sometimes it will be something expensive. But they teach us, that in the end, these are just things, and we can be creative in fixes, and workarounds, and life will carry on. Good job Mia.
Eh, accidents happen. If it hadn't been a Sharpie, it might have been something else. I think this idea is brilliant and the style of the couch definitely allows for something like this. It looks great!
And if you are a person who is deeply attached to your stuff to the point where you question the idea of having kids because they might damage your stuff, then yeah, you probably shouldn't have kids. Or pets. That's not a judgment against anyone - I know people who have super-nice, very high-end stuff and they really love it, as they should! But kids and pets (and sometimes even party guests) can damage the things you own, so either you have to be okay with fixing or replacing damaged items or decide that you would rather not risk it and just go with the home.
Well I have 3 cats Kiera, so where's your theory now? Kids are different, they can be taught, and they can choose to ignore the teaching.
Not nearly as major, but as a very young kid, I somehow got ahold of a permanent pen and "monogrammed" one of our dinner napkins while practicing writing out my initials (mom made the tablecloth and napkins out of Marimekko fabric- retro chic and ahead of her time in the 1980s!).
My mom stitched over the lines, and from them on, I've had my very own personalized napkin!
Way to make lemons into limoncello, Mia. :)
the cute, the perp has his back turned, the after is sweet, might be worth sewing up to avoid tucking in forever,
I've been able to remove Sharpie from smooth surfaces with rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball, have taken prices off thrift store books, etc, not sure how fabric would react, also sunlight bleaches out Sharpie marks, My son drew on our walls and tiles one day, I kept them though.
I had just had a beautiful cedar chest from my childhood stripped and before I could stain it, my four year old wrote her name on it in permanent marker. (Both were in the garage.) Thick, black permanent marker on unstained wood is not going anywhere. I did not want to paint the chest a color that would cover the marker so I just finished it as planned and let the marker show through.
I was not happy about it when she was four, but now that she is almost 14 I absolutely love it and it makes me happy every time I see it. Funny how that works.
Thankfully, neither of my children ever drew on the furniture but they did draw on the walls, my daughter smeared lipstick into a textured wall for some unknown reason (which is impossible to clean) and managed to break our pedestal table by using it as a stage. We also have three cats and one of them managed to destroy an entire couch, which we simply covered-up with an ugly throw. With kids and pets, stuff happens. My kids are old enough now, though, that if they do start drawing on the furniture they'll just have to start sleeping in the shed. I think the above represents making the most out of a bad situation with rather chic results.
Yup, we keep the Sharpies out of reach, but my daughter somehow found my eyeliner and wrote all over my brand new white duvet. She also threw up all over my sofa cushions and my living room rug, which is obviously no one's fault. Nothing is safe when you have little kids :) This is a great post. It makes sense to keep the old sofa, and her makeover is cute. I've found it's best to hold on to what you have while your kids are young. You'll spend a lot of money replacing everything that gets dirty if you don't learn to live with it.
I like the solution, but I was hoping the answer was going to be "So she got some chopsticks and a bunch of different colors of dye that suit her room's palette, and now the entire couch is one big Jackson Pollock." That's what I would have done. In fact, I HAVE done it -- once on a ceramic lamp base, and once on a large ornate mirror (painted the frame gloss black and then drizzled fun-color paints across the frame AND the mirror surface itself).
Good job. This kind of thing happens to all but the most hyper vigilant parents (or regular parents with the most mellow kids). I love how the OP treated it as a minor problem to be solved and moved on.
Sigh. Yes, kids CAN be taught. But that happens over time and as the brain develops. Adults can educate themselves. But some choose to hang on hard to their biases and preassumptions instead.
Great quick fix. and way to go for not totally loosing your mind.
When my 15 year old was a little boy, he drew on everything. Walls, desk, books. Luckily for him no fabric. I eventually had to put him in charge of making sure no one wrote on anything but paper. That way, if he wasn't paying attention and *somebody* wrote on a wall, he got in trouble for not monitoring things properly. He was an only child back then. He still doodles on things he probably shouldn't.
Kids really put it in perspective. It's just stuff.
What about just turning the cushions over?
A nice save, Mia!
Loving that the comments have turned into an AT version of http://www.shitmykidsruined.com
I don't have kids so seeing that destruction made my heart drop into my stomach.
But I got to say the after blew me away! So amazing the transformation and love your ability to over come and adapt to a otherwise stressful situation.
Hopefully the other cushions don't get destroyed cause I like the 'every other cushion' patten look.
Great job.
I love the "Time Out of Shame" in the Before pic.
And you don't need a sharpie to ruin a sofa. My sister did it with simple ol' make-up.
House Bee, i was wondering the same thing! Wouldn't that have been the easiest fix? I'm thinking maybe the cushions dont come off, hence why the fabric is tucked in and not an actual cover.
Flipping the cushions over would have worked
Why I bought an Ikea sofa when we wanted a sectional:) And I'm glad that the nailpolish bottle that my son broke on the carpet isn't on the internet. Or the Sharpie on the newly-laid Marmoleum floor (a quick swipe with acetone, btw). I love him so much, though, that I'd gladly clone him x10 and have his little self running around forever!
I love that fabric, very nice decision to only do the two cushions. It looks great!
My Australian Shepard puppy chewed holes in my Pottery Barn rug. He has chewed my favorite shorts up. 3 kids have broken favorite dishes, spilled on carpet, etc. It's just stuff. The love I get from them is worth more than having a perfect house!
This reminds me of an episode of "TI and Tiny: The Family Hustle" (this is a no judgment zone, right? Right?!). TI's youngest child Major aaaalmost went into "The White Room" with his shoes on and without an adult before someone brought him back to his senses. I had to laugh, because I know that freeze moment too well.
As a principle, it is important to teach children respect for things- your things, their things, things that anyone has exchanged something of value for (like money!). It may take a while for them to get it. This is why there were rooms that were off limits in households back in the day...and couches in desperate need of replacement reigned in "rec rooms". You may recall couches were usually plaid or faux-black leather bachelor-pad style, and definitely not a part of planned décor. Hey, boundaries are important for everyone's sake.
I actually love the "after" and 5th or 6th the vote to make it a permanent fix.
Brilliant! When kids are little, it pays to be flexible-- teaching them is a process over time, and sometimes mistakes (like this) need to happen for them to learn. This is why I follow the motto that anything in our house is something I'm ok with getting ruined (someday, when my kids are older, I'll probably change that but it works for now)! And this is an idea I plan to file away for the inevitable moment when I need it :)
True but that is not chic either.
Like the tongue in cheek fix. Hope she kept some extra fabric in case of wine spills, pet accidents or what ever else craziness goes down!
Gotta say this "parenting advice" floating around here is making me laugh.
And never buy something that you would be devastated if it somehow got damaged. Life is life, accidents happens and so do kids. Relax, it's just an inanimate object :)
Nothing wrong with remaining childless.
This can happen with an adult to. I had seen a drunk sit on a couch, and pretty much ruin the cushions after not getting up to get to the bathroom. Fire Water coming up onto the cushions is not good.
Nice Fix. I cringed when I saw this it reminds me of when my daughter was 2 and she wanted to be like iCarly and cut her front braid.
Speaking of Sienfeld,remember the Shmoopy girlfriend eposode? The actress was Ali Wentworth, aka Mrs George Stephanopoulos. In the early years of their marriage Ali came up with a creative idea to hide the damage that their dogs had done to their white carpet. (Guessing the white carpet predated the doggie acquisition) She bought a $2.00 box of purple dye and painted a loose swirl pattern over the entire carpet. I saw a photo of it and it looked fantastic.
Having children and pets really does teach you to let go of any illusion that you may have of control. I applaud this mother's creative solution.
Clever solution. To get the marker out permanently, use rubbing alcohol. It sounds scary, but it really does work and doesn't harm the microfiber. Says the mother of a highly destructive 7 year old.
I have an Ikea Ektorp off Craiglist in white so I can get a new slipcover for $100 every few years and be totally unconcerned about it. My kids have stained it, I have bleached it back, it's one of the winning choices.
I thought when I grew up I would finally get a Real Couch, then I had kids and realized it wouldn't be smart right then, and then I grew up and realized...I will never have a life that harmonizes with a $2k couch. Everyone spills, not just kids. I don't want to cringe over that ever. Here, have a glass of wine and tell me what is on your mind.
if you are worried as to what you child will do to your furniture then you shouldn't have kids. It not about that! Our son is almost 2 yrs old and the joy and happiness child brings to you is priceless
If you're like me, just don't invite unruly kids to your home even if they are family :P My nephew threw up on our one week old cb rug a few years ago and wrote on our herman miller side chair on the same day. They were never invited to our house again :P
Children are not materialistic by nature. They are artists, scientists, explorers. They have the ability to breathe new life into a room in ways that furniture never can. Way to go Mama for showing your children your own creativity. :)
Little kids are not the only ones who change sofa looks. I accidentally sat down on my sofa after working on my car and I didn't realize I had some heavy grease on my pants. What a bear to get out!
To all the people saying she should have just flipped the damaged cushions over - I have seen many couches that have cushions with undersides that are done in a different (cheaper, "generic") material, so that would not have been an option if her cushions are like that.
Sorry, but I love what the kids have done with that sofa. It reminds me of a scribbly pillow or comforter or something that I've seen on AT in the past.
I now know how to decorate my next sofa slipcover!
I am an artist, I would have pulled those cushions off the sofa and told the kids to continue to cover the whole cushion in scribbles. Then I would have used fabric paints and colored the design to my liking. Kids scribbles are very care free, and joyful. But I would have explain to them that what they did was a no-no and they are helping me to 'fix" it, and never write on furniture again. Get them an art easel.
Kudos! That before also suddenly had my heart race a bit. (Knock on wood) We haven't had that happen in our home yet thankfully.
I really agree with you Heja :)
Yes HomeSweetAntique, that's right! The sofa is a one piece. So the cushions, seats, etc are attached together and cannot be taken apart. Therefore I could not take off / turn the cushions over :) But on the brighter side, it holds the fabric quite well. I think if it wasn't a one piece sofa, it would not hold it that well.
Thank you everyone for your comments. Some are so funny & really made my day :)
Being a parent is indeed a learning process as every child is different. I never had any accidents with my first child. But my 2nd child is much more active yet creative. So although I keep my Sharpies in the top shelf, he just managed to get it.
After the incident, I was going to get a new couch, but we realized it might not be the wisest decision as the kids are still young. If they did not draw on it, they may spill things, etc. So I just used what I had and worked around it (to overcome limitations such as the one piece couch, time, money, etc).
What I learnt was accidents do happen (especially when you have little kids), be creative, and not being too attached to things. Kids make mistakes, but they have given me so much joy as well :)
I don't have kids, but I think if I did, permanent makers would be banned from my house, or at least would be very well hidden. Maybe I'd get a lockbox for sharp scissors, markers, needles, etc. I know how easily I used to get into all my parents' stuff, so I wouldn't trust the top shelf. Clever solution though!!!
I find it ironic that she chose to cover her child's drawings with fabric that has writing on it. Is one really better than the other? That writing seems like an invitation to do more drawing.
you can use granny's spot remover from hobby lobby's it will take sharpy out of everything
Aaaaawwwww...so cute when it's not your kids!! LOL ;) My older son wrote ALL over a brand new sofette when he was almost 3...thankfully it was microfiber AND the marker was the washable kids kind. It took me 4 hours, but I scrubbed the thing clean. THIS situation was obviously more dire. And can I say that your little one assisted in a really cool decor switch up? I think it looks great, has personality, and always fun to have a little story (out of earshot of little pitchers, or he will think you're on board w/more sharpie redecorating!). Good job, very creative :)
p.s. Those who suggest keeping sharpies out of reach: you can't control everything (esp w/kids) and sometimes the kids get a hold of the sharpies. I was really floored when my older son started first grade and sharpies were on his supply list for school!!! I thought: Really? Are they old enough for permanent anything yet? But he never came home w/a mark on his clothing. His little brother then obviously also had access, from a younger age. Can't control everything (anything?), especially w/kids.
I don't think there is anything cute about this....

Watching for a Downturn in the Home Market
Reuben is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
The National Association of Realtors recently warned that home prices are moving to far too fast. The only thing that can help solve the problem is more construction. That will be good news for home builders, until it isn't anymore.
The housing market was pummeled by the 2007 to 2009 recession, which had its roots in the finance and housing markets. Banks were lending too easily and home buyers were rushing to buy before prices got even higher. The end result was a massive housing market crash and years of stagnant home sales and moribund home prices.
The carnage, however, has started to clear as institutional investors like BlackStone (NYSE: BX) stepped in to build institutional single-family home businesses. That removed much of the cheap existing inventory from the market. New home sales from builders like Lennar (NYSE: LEN), DR Horton (NYSE: DHI), and Toll Brothers (NYSE: TOL) have increased to pick up the slack in supply.
The good news
For now, the builders look to have solid businesses. However, the National Association of Realtors has come out to warn about the swift rise in home prices. The group was late to highlight the risks on the way up before the housing crash, which may be making them hyper sensitive the second time around. That said, there are increasing similarities between the two periods.
For example, investors are being pushed to act. While the boom years' drive was to get in before home prices went up, now the impetus is to get in while prices and mortgage rates are still low. Seeing this, banks have become more accommodating by loosening their lending standards. The combination of these events could be pulling demand forward and setting up a downturn.
There is a distinct possibility of interest rates passing a tipping point where buyers can no longer afford homes and the market corrects again. Investors need to monitor this closely.
Looking for clues
The clues to a downturn at the publicly traded home builders can be found in home builders' backlogs.
Lennar reported second quarter results in late June. It delivered 4,464 homes, an increase of 39% year over year. In the first quarter, the company delivered 3,186 homes. Clearly things are getting better. New orders in the second quarter totaled 5,705 homes, up 27%. The first quarter saw orders of 4,055 homes.
The company's second quarter backlog stood at 6,163 homes, amounting to $1.9 billion. The first quarter's backlog was 4,922 homes with a value of $1.5 billion.
These are the numbers to watch. As long as the trends here are positive, the company should continue to reward investors. Earnings went from $0.26 a share in the first quarter to $0.61, showing the leverage on the way up. However, earnings fell from over $3.50 a share in 2006 to a loss of more than $12 in 2007, showing that leverage can be a double edged sword.
DR Horton reported its second quarter results in late April and is next up to report. It closed on 33% more homes on a year over year basis last quarter, with a total value 47% higher than the prior year. New orders were up 34% based on the number of homes and 52% based on the value of the homes. The home count in the backlog increased 54% with the value advancing 76%.
The magnitude of the improvement on a year over year basis is astounding. "With $250 million in pre-tax income through the first six months of the year, we have already exceeded our pre-tax profits for all of fiscal 2012," the company noted recently. A turn for the worse, however, could have an equally large effect in the opposite direction.
Toll Brothers' late May second quarter earnings release related a similar story. Deliveries advanced 38% year over year. New sales were up 36% based on home count, but advanced 57% in dollar terms. The average price was $678,000 in the second quarter, up from $631,000 in the first quarter and $585,000 in the second quarter of 2012. Backlog was up 52% to 3,655 homes, but advanced 69% in dollar terms. The average price of a home in backlog was $693,000. The company should report again in August.
Follow the numbers
Luckily for investors, these three home builders report in a sequential pattern. Lennar just reported, DR Horton should report in late July, and Toll should report in August. Keeping tabs on the backlogs and sales of the publicly traded home builders, then, is easier than you might expect.
Although this trio's shares have come down a little of late, they all remain well above their recessionary lows. Essentially, the homebuilders are most appropriate for momentum investors as their core businesses ramp up again. But, you need to watch closely for slowing sales trends and be particularly watchful for a reversal.

Srila Prabhupada comes to Murari Sevaka
Where is the "old" Prabhupada? Wasn-t he beautiful enough? Why change Prabhupada murtis? Our mission is to change the world, not the murtis in the empty temples.
"Flood this famous seat of learning with our books and literatures. If we can convince the intelligent class of men of our Krishna philosophy then our success for changing the world is assured."

Back in the early 90s the must have app to was email, and Blackberry was all over it like white on rice. These days though, email is given just as much as making a call is. To keep pace with the iPhone and other emerging smartphones, Blackberry announced the launch of 5 new lifestyle apps today, on top of their already popular – 2.5 million popular – Facebook application. So what did they add? Integrated Microsoft search (why bother), Tivo, MySpace, Ticketmaster and Slacker Music.
The coolest of the two have to be the Tivo and Slacker Music app. The Tivo app will allow users to search their already recorded shows, schedule shows to record and will eventually be able to stream their recordings on their phone. The Slacker app builds on top of the Slack Radio service, which is entirely free and automatically picks additional music once the user has indicated likes and dislikes. Users will also be able to store music on their phone via the Slacker service and sync their tunes anytime a WiFi hotspot is available, something Pandora for the iPhone can't and won't do.

introduction to RESONANCE THERAPY
By Dr. Franz Lutz, Director of IRT and Matthew Cross, President
of Leadership Alliance
Various European governments and landowners report that forests
that were once dying are now being miraculously rejuvenated. Farmers
report measurable increases in crop yields and livestock reproduction.
People visiting and living on treated land areas experience enhanced
well-being and a greater sense of community. What is going on
The answer
is a remarkable method for conscious restoration and rejuvenation
of ecosystems, people and the planet: Resonance Therapy. This
new science, which at first sounds like something from a science
fiction novel, defies "modern" scientific paradigms.
Yet the results from Europes Institute for Resonance Therapy
(IRT) near Dusseldorf, Germany are attracting increasing international
attention from many agriculturists, environmentalists, therapists,
scientists and governments.
IRT has now
been using its unique energetic principles to revitalize dying
ecosystems for ten years. Recognized by the Gorbachev Foundation
and the European Economic Community (EEC) Environmental and Agricultural
Department, IRT has been involved in revitalizing reserves in
Russia, restoring parkland in Austria, and treating depleted farmland
in England. Resonance Therapy has also demonstrated positive results
for treating people as well.
IRT was founded
in 1986 by German Naturopath Irene Lutz and Dr. Marion Hoensbroech
in response to accelerated ecosystem degradation in Europe. For
several decades Irene had been using Radionic techniques in her
treatment of patients. Radionics is a healing method first discovered
by Dr. Albert Abrams of Stanford University in the early 1900's
and further developed by American physician Dr. Ruth Drown. IRT
was created to apply these radionic principles to treating and
restoring plant life and ecosystems, a technique first explored
in the 1950's by engineer Curtis Upton.
Now headed
by Dr. Franz Lutz, a medical doctor by training, IRT practices
its healing methods on forests and parks as commissioned by governments
and private landowners throughout Europe.
IRT's work begins with the simple premise that
forest is a complex and self-organizing whole.
This whole is far greater than the sum of its parts..."
The scientifically
meticulous IRT treatment protocol integrates Radionics (sending
energy and information at a distance), Dr. Wilhelm Reich's life-energy
work and tools, Dr. Paul Weiss' morphogenetic field theory, Dr.
Rupert Sheldrake's morphic field resonance theory, self-organizing
systems principles, and modern chaos theory. IRT believes that
process should not simply be effective,
it should also be subject to monitoring, reproduction
and explanation, enabling it to be passed on to others
plants in an ecosystem communicate through "resonance"
with the whole. The blueprint for the system is contained in an
"attractor" (from Chaos theory); in times of accelerated
change or stress, the system's attractor may no longer contain
sufficient information for the system to continue to adapt, survive
and evolve. This resonance (level and quality of communication)
can be intuitively sensed by a treatment technician, working remotely
with an aerial photograph or map (called a "resonator")
of the area to be treated. Low resonance levels (as intersubjectively
measured using the Bovis scale; see The Secret Life of Plants,
Tompkins & Bird, 1973) indicate compromised health of the
bioregion. IRT technicians then provide various solutions for
the ecosystem to heal itself through the introduction of "informators,"
which are fractals or symbols that contain information about the
fundamental structure of nature, and "transformators,"
which are fractals or symbols that contain quantum information
that raises the organizational level of the ecosystem.
After a customized treatment course, the system develops a new
compatible attractor and returns naturally to a state of health
and vitality.
& PRACTICE. Treatment is performed on an intuitively determined
"holon" (smallest complete bioregion not divided by
political or manmade boundaries.) Resonance Therapy does not make
use of intrusive management practices, and relies on instrumentation
only to amplify the energies being directed at the holon by the
treatment technician and method. A treatment of a particular area
can take various amounts of time to complete. Treatments are typically
administered five times a week, between two and four hours a day,
with the plan of treatment being evaluated and changed to adapt
to the progress of the holon every three to four weeks. The treatment
technician must first diagnose the problem in the area, then select
an appropriate informator/ transformator which relays the kind
of information required to help the system to begin self-healing.
The chosen informator/ transformator is then aligned intuitively
with the "critical rotation point" (the point at which
the system's resonator and informator/ transformator are in phase
and resonating.) The resonator, informator and transformator are
then placed in a specialized radionic instrument to amplify the
resonance effect and reduce healing time, with simultaneous life-energy
amplification via specific orgone devices as required.
IRT's work is being scientifically and physically validated through
before and after photography; comparing adjacent treated and untreated
areas; increased vitality (measured according to accepted EU agricultural
standards, e.g. leaf density, root growth, reproductive capacity,
increased biodiversity, etc.) and by intuitive sensing of soil
vitality. Independent research agencies determine and confirm
the success of Resonance Therapy treatment.
IRT would like to bring Resonance Therapy and its growing results
into mainstream modern science, emphasizing replicability of experiments
and measurability of results in terms that are meaningful to ecologists
and scientists around the world. Part of this process will involve
introducing the measurable effects of intuitive processes in treatment
and creating a common terminology. IRT believes this is a key
stepping stone for all further developments in the field of subtle
energy work.
am convinced that the intriguing work of IRT and Dr. Lutz is of
paramount importance to us all. I think a big story is brewing

Creators of Tyranny II
II. How Did This Happen?
(click here for part one)
Perhaps we have found ourselves, our lives and our economies (both national and personal) oppressed by governments and cooperations because we have fallen victim to convention via apathy and possibly even the general waning and misplacement of compassion. Sure that sounds harsh so allow me to soften the blow by stating that maybe we haven't done this so much on purpose but rather we have been coerced into doing so. A big conspiracy? No, nothing like that; rather, a series of instances (some related, some not) that allowed both the well-meaning but misguided and the opportunistic to take advantage of our trust.
So where did all this begin? Good question. Perhaps there is no clear answer but we do know that governments have had a tenancy (intentional or not) to oppress their people in one way or another and/or become corrupt and tyrannical, to varying degrees, since they began. The Forefathers of the U.S. knew this and wrote The Constitution in such a way to restrain the government and limit its powers in an effort to ward off eventual tyranny as long as possible. Don't take my word for it; do some research and I think you will find that they were very concerned about impending tyranny. They felt that government was a 'necessary evil' but also knew that historically, all preceding governments had eventually succumb to the temptations of power and corruption.
How did cooperations get into the mix and how did they become convention? For that answer, let's look back to before the Industrial Revolution of the 18th and 19th centuries…yes, it takes something a long time to become conventional. Before this time, very few people in comparison to today, had 'jobs' as we look at them now. In other words, very few actually worked for someone else. It's almost hard to imagine now as that self sufficient independence has all but been eliminated from our society and our culture. The Industrial Revolution possibly forever changed the socioeconomic and cultural conditions of most the world.
As time pressed on, we saw that these advancements had their merits. New, time and effort saving products were introduced and old ones were either replaced or produced cheaper and faster. The individuals that made the 'old products' in their homes or from a small shop, couldn't compete and often times ended up working for the very companies that drove them out of business. The companies that produced the products, of course, wouldn't barter for them. One couldn't offer them some vegetables or offer to help them raise a barn, for example, as they could when they were doing business with the individual. Some with larger farms were able to keep them or even able to expand them in order to sell their food for cash; the cash that was needed to purchase the products of the companies. Others ended up working for either the companies or the larger farms to earn cash to buy the various companies' products and, eventually, the food from the larger farms.
In the coming years, our desire to conform, our desire for newer and possibly better things outweighed our need and desire for diversity and self sufficiency, thus, we have become almost entirely dependent on companies and corporations for our goods and services…and they know that, of course. This worked okay for a while as some enterprising individuals opened and maintained smaller businesses; after all, competition is good for the market…as long as it's a free market. The trouble comes (and it did) when a government steps in 'to help' …history has proven this to be true time and again. One of the earlier examples in the US of government intervention into the market is the trade embargo instated by none other than one of our Founding Fathers, Thomas Jefferson in his second term as President. Of course, he meant well, but it had devastating effects on the country's economy.
Eventually, other well meaning politicians would pass this law and that regulation 'to help' and/or 'protect' the people and our businesses rather than to allow the natural cycles of the market (such as supply and demand) 'weed out' the poorly run businesses and undesirable products so that the well run businesses that produced the better products for the better prices (that were in demand) could prosper. Larger companies and corporations began to realize that these laws and regulations could be used in their favor under the guise of protecting the consumer. The ploy? To lobby politicians into passing rules and regulations that seemed to be in the best interest of The People…rules and regulations that only these large companies could afford to comply with, thus, driving their competition (smaller businesses) out of business.
This is called regulatory capture.

Marcus Camby eyes first NBA title with Rockets
Houston, TX, United States (4E Sports) – Free-agent center Marcus Camby has agreed to a one-year deal with the title-contending Houston Rockets.
A 17-year veteran, Camby likely chose the Rockets for a chance to finally capture his first championship ring.
Camby was uninterested in being a part of the rebuilding effort with the Toronto Raptors and sought his release. He was granted the request via buyout in mid-July.
Experts are giving the new-look Rockets a legitimate shot at winning the NBA championship this coming season.
He will be the third center in the Rockets lineup, along with Dwight Howard and Omer Asik.
Camby's deal with the Rockets will be for the veteran minimum $1.4 million. Camby had been owed $7.5 million over the final two years of his previous deal.
The 39-year-old center appeared in just 24 games last season for the Knicks, averaging 1.8 points per game.
He was picked second overall by Toronto in the 1996 draft and has played 973 games during his career. He played in 19 games for the Rockets in 2011-12.

Hey folks!
I've been wondering about exercise & mania, and the potential links.
My new GP is fascinated by the way I've suddenly gone from a serious low to having very manic days since I started running & going back to the gym, and thinks there's definitely a link there, but it's not actually really known about.
It can't be good when your GP kindly asks to to exercise LESS, can it?!
Has anyone else had similar experiences? How did you manage to get past it? At the moment I'm up and down like a yo-yo that's been drinking Red Bull....
P.S. I'm back.
I'm also on Twitter: elTweeno (of course!)

To top that off it was broken when I received it. Only packed in a padded envelope. I will look somewhere else for the license plate that I want. January 4, 2014

Component to control flow of illegal immigrants is part of a plan to overhaul immigration system
UNCONFIRMED: Incorporation of additional drones to federal fleet still in proposal phase
According to reports by the Washington Times and Huffington Post, the number of unmanned aerial vehicles would increase should a proposal by a group of eight bipartisan senators become law, although there was no mention of how many. (Click here for more on immigration overhaul deal.)
The proposal is drawing heavy criticism because of the Customs and Border Protection's mismanagement of its drone program. According to Nextgov.com, in 2012 the Homeland Security Department inspector general recommended that CBP "postpone additional (unmanned aircraft systems) purchases" until CBP's current fleet of seven drones maximizes its flight hours and a realistic budget is developed to maintain them. Based on Homeland Security contract specifications, the CBP's drones should have been flying at least 10,662 hours per year, but they only flew 3,909 hours on average.
In addition, the CBP spent $55.3 million for drone operations and maintenance between fiscal 2006 and 2011 but was forced to transfer $25 million from other programs in 2010 to help pay for it, Nextgov reported. The agency also didn't budget for drone-related equipment, such as a compatible ground control station for the "Predator" drone which the Corpus Christi National Air Security Operations Center was forced to borrow from the Cocoa Beach operations center.
Major part of war machine
The UAV industry is having a substantial economic impact, especially in San Diego County, home of Predator maker General Atomics. In 2011, the industry generated $1.3 billion locally and indirectly supported more than 7,000 jobs, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported.

I stopped carrying them several years ago and simply give people my email address (firstname.lastname@example.com) as my primary contact data. But at the end of every day I have a handful of cards to deal with. Sometimes it is one or two; often it is a big pile.
Yesterday I was at the Xconomy Big Data Conference in Boston. I was the lead off keynote speaker so I decided to spend my 30 minutes doing a rant on Big Data that I started off with the line "Big Data is Bullshit." It was fun for me and I hope useful for the 500 people in the audience.
I ended up with 20+ business cards from people who I talked to in between sessions. During the afternoon, I took a photo of each of them with my iPhone, emailed the photo to email@example.com, and then tossed the card in the trash. I now have a photo of my card on my iPhone and due to the magic of the FullContact CardShark API the data was automagically turned into a vCard and a Google contact. I got emails back with each card, clicked one button on the email, and voila the contact data was in my Gmail Contacts data.
My friends at FullContact talk about how they do this in their post If Only CardMunch Were An API… Oh Yes We Did!. When CardMunch first came out I was a happy user. I struggled some with quality, but put up with it because it was better than the alternative. I stopped using it about six months ago due to reliability and the overly tight integration with LinkedIn at the exclusion of other approaches.
@mattdelliott and @travis_todd created a replacement for me (and for you) at HackDenver in 6 hours of codings. Literally all you do as an end user is:
- Take a photo of a business card (two photos if it's a two sided card)
- Email the image(s) to email@example.com
- Wait a few minutes for the reply email
If you are a web developer in Boulder who does stuff with APIs, I encourage you to join our friends at Singly on Thursday 7/26 at the Bitter Bar from 5:30 – 8:30. They are building an organic network of friends and evangelists around APIs and looking to have a conversation with anyone interested. Several Foundry Group companies who are API-centric will be there including FullContact and SendGrid are co-sponsoring the event and helping to promote it.
When: Thursday July 26th
What: APIs and IPAs. Free drinks and appetizers; Sign Up Here
Where: Bitter Bar Boulder | 835 Walnut Street | 5:30pm – 8:30pm
Singly is an API abstraction layer and data service for developers who are building apps that consume data from multiple authenticated/private social data sources. They handle/unify auth, data syncing, unified access patterns for query, cleaning (deduplication, etc) and storage. In general, they are seeing more apps being built that are "smart" apps that create new data/experiences drawing from the growing body of already generated data/experiences and are aiming to make it increasingly easy and cost/time efficient to do so.
It's 2012 and the "contact information problem" is getting exponentially worse. I've personally been struggling with this for 20+ years since I remember going from a custom database we built at Feld Technologies (in DataFlex) to Act! to try to manage the contacts across the company. While all the technology has changed, the problem has gotten substantially worse, as every web-based and mobile app now has some kind of contact info associated with it.
Today, there is no single authoritative contact record for an individual. I've been through a bunch of different iterations of technology around this such as SAML, FOAF, and Oauth. I remember Firefly and Passport. I've been involved in a number of companies who have tried to build "clean contact lists" and tried virtually every service I've ever run into. I've completely fucked up my address book more than once, especially as I tried to wire in data from other services that use Oauth or an email address to join data across web services. And yet we still have address blocks in emails, vcards, and crappy, incomplete, and incorrect data everywhere. And I still get referred to as Brad Batchelor in physical mail that I get from Wellesley College (which both Amy and I think is cute.)
Nothing works and it's just getting worse. Fragmented data, incorrect data, changed data, duplicated data – it gets proliferated. All you need to do to see the core problem is look at the same data for a person in LinkedIn, Twitter, and Facebook. Multiple email addresses, lots of different contact info, time-based information that isn't treated correctly, and huge errors all over the place.
That's why we've invested in FullContact. They are on a mission to solve the world's contact information problem. Imagine a unified address book in the cloud that has perfect information for every single person with a contact record of any type. This unified address book is continually updated, cleansed, enriched, and validated. It integrates with every web-based or mobile application that uses any sort of contact data, and it is available to every developer via an API.
This is a massive data problem. The team at FullContact is approaching it as such. It's one where the machines do all the work and don't rely on us silly humans, or the IT people, to change behavior and systems. For a look behind the curtains watch this short example from FullContact's Identibase.
If you are a developer, FullContact's goal is for you to use their cloud address book via their API. If you are an individual, you can use the FullContact cloud address book as your source address book. And if you are a business, you can finally get a unified contact management system across your organization without having to do very much. Data will automagically get cleaned up, enriched, de-duplicated, validated, and backed up, making it easily accessible in any context.
We've gone after the world's contact information problem a number of times in a number of different ways over the years with different investments. We've never been involved in conquering it and it's just gotten worse. This is the first time I feel like we are investing in the right approach to solve the problem once and for all.
Oh – and we love the team. If you want a fun view of why, take a look at From Basements to Brad Feld: The Story of 126 NOs and 1 Big YES.
I love Fitbit. The product is great, the team is great, and I'm psyched to be an investor. I've been a user for a while – my data is public – but I just recently started using the food tracker which is superb. The only thing that was missing for me was an API.
Fitbit released the Fitbit API quietly a month or so ago. I've encouraged them to make more noise as some great applications are coming out. I use two of them – Earndit and the Fitbit Low Battery Notifier by Joshua Stein. There are a bunch more coming but I thought I'd encourage any of you out there who care about human instrumentation to take a look and consider integrating with Fitbit.
And, if you want the best fitness and sleep tracking product in the universe, go take a look at the Fitbit.

Bonners Ferry Vacation Rentals with Outdoor Grill(10)

A true getaway
The moment we pulled up to the gate and drove down the 1/4 mile "driveway" we knew this was what we were looking for. The cabin and property are better then the pictures. It was hard to drag ourselves off the comfortable back porch with a stunning view of the surrounding mountains. However we did get out hiking on the numerous trails as the property backs up to a National Forest. The owners were kind and helpful.
Great Hospitality!
Wonderful hospitality..the owner went out of her way to make us feel very welcome! Very clean home, with lots of character. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and loved being right on the river. Defininitely rustic with all the amenties! Thank you for letting us enjoy your home!
Beautiful cabin!
The cabin was immaculate upon arrival! Our family enjoyed a wonderful week here. The grounds and flowers were breathtaking. We saw little wildlife but many beautiful butterflies! Had fun photographing the butterflies. The kitchen was well-stocked and there were many books and games to be enjoyed. The river was enjoyed by all! We brought our canoe and tubes so we had lots of fun going down the Moyie River. Although most areas, in August, the water is too shallow for a canoe. We enjoyed a storm while we were there...loved, loved the thunder, lightning and rain (So. California people can't enjoy it often). The croquet, bocci and horseshoes were lots of fun also. The fishing at Robinson Lake was fun and we caught fish! We saw the bald eagle Marilyn had mentioned we look for each morning and evening. The sandwiches at the Mennonite Bakery were great, as well. Don't miss buying some of their bread and jellies! Marilyn was very prompt in answering any questions or concerns we had. We took an afternoon drive to Kimberley, B.C. Beautiful drive. Enjoyed the best pizza we've had in years at Stonefire Pizzaria. DON'T MISS IT!

Baton Rouge, La. - Governor Bobby Jindal has signed a bill that gives drivers a new way to show their Louisiana pride, every time they hit the road.
During the recent spring session, state lawmakers approved the bill that called for the creation of two new specialized license plates.
The new choices are "I'm Cajun and proud" and "I'm a Creole and proud." Each will cost $15.00 annually, on top of any other standard charges.
The money will go into a special fund for Louisiana college scholarships.

They have this one at my local Lowes. It is very sturdy and well made.»www.lowes.com/pd_34500-85334-VTL···r%20Vent
YesThats what I am lookin ferDon't know how I missed itThanks!
I have a couple of the metal ones robbin posted. One for dryer vent and the second for small exhaust fan for our greenhouse.They are much better then the plastic vents. The flapper is tilted and weighted. However the build quality is mediocre but they do work better then the normal plastic ones. Nothing is going to seal totally.The other nice thing is they protrude an inch or so warn air does not tend to hit the wood below the vent as with ordinary ones./tom

UPDATED: Dover man identified in Route 125 Lee crash
The driver of this Subaru was airlifted to a hospital in Boston, Mass., after the car collided with a 98,000-pound crane truck just south of the Lee traffic circle along Route 125 Monday afternoon. (JOHN QUINN/UNION LEADER CORRESPONDENT)
Around 1:15 p.m. Monday, Justin Mills was driving his Subaru north on Route 125 when he crossed the center line and collided with a crane heading south and being driven by Brian Daigle, 24, of New Boston. The crane is owned by American Crane Co. Inc. in Hooksett.
Mills suffered serious injuries and was flown to Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. Daigle was not injured in the crash.
The accident, which happened about 1:15 p.m. Monday, is still under investigation.
A third vehicle, a Nissan behind the Subaru, swerved off the road to avoid the collision.
Police said Daigle tried to avoid the crash and, as a result, the crane went across Route 125, down an embankment and crashed into nearby woods.
Route 125 was closed for several hours while emergency personnel removed the wreckage and police investigated.
Lee police and fire were assisted at the scene by New Hampshire State Police and officers from Barrington and Durham. Also at the scene were McGregor Ambulance Co., Dartmouth-Hitchcock Advance Response Team (DHART) and members of the Strafford County Regional Traffic Accident Reconstruction Team.

Game 23: Iji
Here's another freeware game that I love to death. Link to download in the name.
This game tackles pacifism vs violence in a way that I've never seen another game do. You can play through the entire game without directly killing anyone, but you can also do it blazing through as an unstoppable force. One of the biggest things it does right in my opinion is really addressing the question of whether pacifism or violence are viable solutions at all rather than pasting pacifism as "good" and violence as "evil." It approaches the question in a way that feel very organic and makes it really thought provoking.
When you first play through the sci-fi setting you'll probably start by killing aliens and your character, Iji, will start pointing out to the support character that she feels bad for doing so. In fact, the first few times you kill enemies Iji may say some lines such as "oh no!" or "I'm sorry." But as the game progresses as you take the violent approach her cries will turn more aggressive truly reflecting how you pay the game. Hell, the cut scenes and dialogue all reflect the choices you made, and not just the kind where it asks you directly what you want to do. No two people will have the same experience playing this game. You may end up blazing through without Iji learning much of the aliens and their purpose, you may end up following the diaries of an alien soldier just wanting to get home to her girlfriend right to her corpse on the battlefield, you may end up sending Iji into a hysterical hallucination refusing to believe her sister is dead. This game has so much depth and does so many things well that I'm a bit upset it doesn't get the recognition it deserves.
The only way it really falls flat, which I can understand why for gameplay purposes, is the full pacifism run. It is all handled very well until the end where, if you haven't killed a single enemy, you get the most powerful weapon in the game right before the boss. It seems very incongruous, especially because you can still take down the final boss without using it and either way doesn't affect the ending. But to be honest, that's really the only complaint I have (except maybe some of the music getting a bit repetitive). Go play it. It's free and short, but with tons of replayability. Have fun.
I suggest anyone who's never played this game to give a full playthrough a try. It is very much a great experience.
I love Iji so much.
'Nuff said! I played it through several times without getting bored!

RFID Tracks Mercedes Benz
0 comments post a comment
I'm positive that when Janis Joplin sang "Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz," she had no idea one day car dealerships would use RFID to track and locate cars on their lots.
(Disclaimer: I have no idea what the characters say in the YouTube video clip, but I do think the visuals and sound were done well.)
RMB of Atlanta, Ga., did just that. The deployment includes MyDealerLot kit with AeroScout real-time location technology for outdoor parts tracking, choke point monitoring, and integrated KEYper System's touch-screen key management system. In an interview on the software company's Website you can read how sales consultants at RBM quickly locate vehicles on the eight-acre sales lot because it gives them the exact location where they can locate the car.
The Web-based system relies on RFID and the dealership's existing network to provide a real-time and accurate account of physical inventory to help the dealership drive sales.

Right now I am in a phase of listening to soundtracks of musicals more than any other sort of music. Chicago is probably the CD I've listened to most recently, closely followed by Evita. I listen while I work at the PC, so I need to close the door to my study so that no-one is bothered by my singing along!
What is your favorite musical? Do you buy the CD when you like a musical? And do you sing the songs, too?
