While some patients are skittish about it, doctor's visits over a computer are becoming more popular.
This post comes from Stacy Johnson at partner site Money Talks News.
In Maryland, an 87-year-old woman wakes up each morning and takes her blood pressure in her apartment by slipping her arm through a collar hooked up to a computer -- which sends the results straight to her doctor. In Utah, a family therapist meets online with a mother whose children are acting out and offers counseling. In Hawaii, a 59-year-old nurse with an infected cut on her arm sits at her computer to chat with a doctor and get a prescription for antibiotics.
Welcome to the future of medicine. For some of us, it's already here. But are the rest of us ready for it?
Journalist gives prepaid cards to street beggars to see how they spend the money.
This post comes from J.D. Roth at partner blog Get Rich Slowly.
Have you ever wondered what the panhandlers you see on the street would do if you actually gave them a bunch of money to spend?
Like many people, I generally give my pocket change to anyone who asks. I figure that if they have to ask, they probably need it more than I do. (Yes, I know that there are just as many folks who think this is ridiculous, and who never give anything to folks on the street. What can I say? The empathetic J.D. almost always gets his way over the logical J.D. Exception: I never give to aggressive panhandlers.)
Recently, The Toronto Star featured a fascinating article from Jim Rankin about a little experiment he conducted. He actually decided to give a few panhandlers more than just pocket change.
Social network games are big money, and name-brand products are joining the quest to make real dollars from virtual goods.
Do you ever feel as if you're the only person in the world not playing Farmville? We probably should pretend an elitist disdain, but really, the lonely black sheep is SO cute, and I always did like playing with paper dolls.
The truth is that virtual reality games are big business, such big business that major companies are joining up.
Volvo just started working with MyTown, an iPhone game that sounds like a cross between Monopoly and Foursquare. MTV is on MallWorld, a Facebook shopping game (which sounds a lot like paper dolls for adults).
You know that generic products are cheaper than name-brand ones, but are you clinging to the belief they're also inferior?
This post comes from Stacy Johnson at partner site Money Talks News.
Save just $5 a day for 30 years, earn 10% on it, and you'll end up with a nest egg of $342,000. Would that make a difference in your life? (By the way, if you're wondering how the heck you can make 10% on your savings, you can't -- at least without risk. It is possible, however: See my stock portfolio.)
The tricky part is saving that $5 without sacrificing your quality of life. And one of many ways of doing that is to pay for name brands only when name brands make a difference. Sound obvious? Take a quick stroll around any grocery store and you'll see that it must not be at all obvious, because the shelves are stuffed with products that cost extra -- sometimes a whole lot extra -- in exchange for nothing more than a name.
Among the clues: Are you afraid to open your credit card bill or look at your receipts? How often do you overdraw your account?
This guest post comes from J. Money at Budgets are Sexy.
I recently got an e-mail from BillShrink.com identifying 20 signs that you need a financial makeover, and I can't help but pass it along.There's something about it that just says, "Hey you! Stop what you're doing and pay attention! Your money needs you!"
- Quick quiz:10 questions to estimate your credit score
Some of them are pretty lame, but the majority of them are right on the money and should definitely get you to think. (I had to take a few seconds to research at least three of them to see if I needed a makeover or not.)
Here are all 20 signs. Billshrink's words are in bold, and my comments are in plain. How many do you need to correct?

New season, new school year -- is it time to try out a new warehouse club?
BJ's Wholesale Club hopes your answer is yes. The store is offering free 60-day trial memberships through Dec. 31.
Jennifer Maciejewski at Cities on the Cheap likes BJ's because the store lets you stack manufacturers' and store coupons, unlike some other warehouse clubs. Here's your chance to see if that means more savings.
You've got several opportunities for free desserts this week. Bravo's new TV show, "Top Chef Just Desserts," is celebrating its premiere with a free dessert Sept. 15 for diners who reserve through Open Table and order two entrees. The deal is good in Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, New York, Miami, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Seattle and Washington, D.C.
The silly season is looming, but there's still time to achieve a cash-only Christmas.
Some people are already finished, having stocked up at post-holiday sales last December. Others are happily turning out picture frames, socks or jewelry for a handmade holiday.
But what if you're neither organized nor particularly crafty, and broke to boot?
Most lawyers don't make enough to justify the cost of law school.
This post comes from partner blog The Dough Roller.
Guess what a first-year lawyer right out of law school makes at a major law firm. For major firms outside of New York City, the starting salary is $145,000, plus a bonus that can add $20,000 to the total package. For major firms in NYC, starting salary can hit $160,000 or more, with bonuses as high as $40,000. Welcome to the world of big law (salary source: FindLaw).
But here's the kicker: The high salaries may not be worth the cost of law school.
I was one of those crazy kids who actually knew what he wanted to do by the eighth grade. Having sat through a criminal trial with a friend of mine whose dad was a cop, I knew then I wanted to be a trial lawyer.

Health & Parenting
Is My Child Ready for Preschool?
Getting Prepped for Preschool continued...
Another tip: "Don't just get everything ready yourself," Hays says. "Let your child pick and pack their backpack and choose a special snack. Invite the child to help because this helps build positive anticipation and makes preschool more of an adventure and something to look forward to."
You can help them get ready to learn too. "Point out letters and numbers on streets and buildings, and shapes and colors in architecture. The more you talk to your child and the more you read to your child, the more vocabulary they are building," says Hays.
Helping your child become self-sufficient is another important step. "Encourage this by allowing your child to brush their hair, put on their own pants, button some buttons and zip some zippers," Hays suggests. "It's good for a child to have that sense of accomplishment, and this will translate into other areas, including using the potty. Self-confidence is the most important thing a kid can go to preschool with. And when they know how to do things by themselves, they will feel accomplished and capable and comfortable going into this big new world."
Saltz agrees. "It is beneficial if can they can manage themselves in terms of eating, toileting, and activities of daily living," she says. "Some parents, in a totally well-meaning way, may keep doing everything for the child. Then they send them to school where it's embarrassing because every other kid is zipping, buttoning, and snapping -- while your kid is just waiting for the teacher."
Easing Separation Anxiety
On that first day, parents can -- and should -- try to help curb separation anxiety even before it starts, so they can maximize the benefits of preschool for their children.
"Help your child know how to say goodbye," Hays says. "This is easier to do when your child understands that there will be a hello -- and when that will be. Talk about it in advance, and on the way to school, and just as you are about to make a departure."
Then, before you leave, make sure your child is engaged in something or caught up in something in the classroom, Hays says. Say a firm goodbye and leave quickly. Her cardinal rule for anxious parents: "Don't linger."

Reggie Bush had an ultra-productive 2011 and he continues to work hard, often being the last man standing at Miami Dolphin practices. He is primed to excel once again even though many NFL writers still consider him too small and fragile to have success for another full season. I believe in Reggie and have drafted him in multiple fantasy leagues. I think he is undervalued as he was last year. He is a game-breaker that spear-heads Miami's deepest position. Along with Daniel Thomas and Lamar Miller, the Dolphins' offensive backfield is their strength on that side of the ball.
If the Dolphins are truly in "win now" mode then they will parlay the second round pick they received for Vontae Davis into an offensive weapon for rookie quarterback Ryan Tannehill and why stop there? Miller has the potential to be a player similar to Bush so why not trade away Reggie Bush for another receiver? It makes sense. Take from the rich and give to the poor. Tannehill might already be without Jake Long for a few games so give him support.
There are plenty of teams that could use a number one running back like Bush. How about the Pittsburgh Steelers? Well, they don't really have anyone to trade except some guy named Mike Wallace.
How would the Dolphins look with Tannehill, Miller, D. Thomas, and two all-pro receivers? Much better. Jeff Ireland needs to make something happen. The natives are beginning to get restless again as the Tannehill honeymoon is coming to an end.

Turdus pilaris
Fieldfares are large, colourful thrushes, much like a Mistle Thrush in general size, shape and behaviour. They stand very upright and move forward with purposeful hops. They are very social birds, spending the winter in flocks of anything from a dozen or two to several hundred strong. These straggling, chuckling flocks that roam the UK's countryside are a delightful and attractive part of the winter scene.
Fieldfares begin to arrive from October and numbers build up as the winter progresses. Birds start to return in March and some may stay into May.

The New "Batman: Arkham Origins" Trailer Is Heavy On Cinematics But Light On Gameplay [Video]
Both Batman: Arkham Asylum and its sequel Batman: Arkham City were both bona fide hits for Warner Bros. Games, out of Montreal, so the question was – could they keep it up with a follow-up game?
Well the buzz so far for the prequel storyline, also known as Batman: Arkham Origins, is pretty good with a storyline that takes place just before the rise of Gotham City's most dangerous villains.
To help it along they have released a pretty cinematic trailer for the game showing off a younger Batman as he faces a defining moment in his start as a crime fighter.
The game will be out on October 25th for the Wii U, Playstation 3, Xbox 360, and PC.

Hartnell VS College of the Sequoias
Hartnell 14, COS 47
Home | Week1 | Week 2 | Week 3 | Week 4 | Week 5 | Week 6 | Week 7 | Week 8 | Week 9 | Week 10
Giants spoil Hartnell Panthers' home-opener with 47-14 victory
BY GEORGE WATKINS • firstname.lastname@example.com • October 5, 2009
They don't call them the Giants for nothing.
Among the College of Sequoias Giants' nearly 70-player football roster are 14 linemen who are listed at 300 pounds or more.
The Hartnell College football team has one 300-pounder.
So maybe it wasn't such a bad thing that the glare of the sun Saturday made it almost impossible to read the scoreboard at Salinas High Stadium.
The towering Giants (3-2) scored on a 90-yard pass just four plays into the game and went on to spoil Hartnell's home-opener, dealing the Panthers a 47-14 loss before a modest-sized and chilly crowd.
The Panthers (1-3) trailed 47-0 before scoring two touchdowns in the fourth quarter.
This was one of those strange non-conference matchups that force small college teams, such as Hartnell, to play at least one large-school team, such as COS.
"I'm not going to say just because they're bigger we're going to lose," Hartnell coach Matt Collins said. "Playing a team like Sequoias [Visalia], it can be adversity all day long. I didn't think we handled it as good as we have in the past."
Hartnell will be back in its element this week when it faces a school its own size. De Anza College of Cupertino visits Salinas High Stadium on Saturday for a 1 p.m. non-conference contest.
Hartnell never had much of a chance to show the crowd that it hopes to have an improved team from the past three years.
The Panthers trailed 27-0 at halftime, and COS opened the second half by returning the kickoff for a touchdown on what was probably the low point of day for the Panthers.
"We talked at halftime about not giving up the big play," Collins said. "We wanted to come out in the second half and show the community we're going to battle, and the first thing we do is give up the big play."
As the wind picked up
and the temperature went down, those in the crowd who stuck it out were rewarded with a couple of Hartnell touchdowns in the final eight minutes.
Third-string quarterback Dwayne Gatlin, who replaced injured starter Yan Cyr — preliminary diagnoses was separated shoulder — early in the third quarter threw a 21-yard touchdown pass to Isiah Tate and a nine-yarder to Tim Smith. Hartnell intercepted three passes, two by Michael Del Real, a sophomore from North Salinas High.
College of the sequoias 47, Hartnell 14
Hartnell football finally plays at home
BY GEORGE WATKINS • email@example.com • October 2, 2009
Welcome home, Hartnell Panthers.
A month into the season, the Hartnell College football team will finally play its first home game of the season, Saturday at 3 p.m. against College of the Sequoias (Visalia) at Salinas High Stadium.
But for some Panthers, even Saturday's home game may feel like a road game. The first home game will also be the first time many Panthers will set sight or foot inside Salinas High Stadium this season.
"I enjoy being there [Salinas High Stadium], but it's not the same if you can't practice on it," Hartnell coach Matt Collins said. "It's sort of like playing an away game. Some of the guys have never been there in their life."
They don't know what they've missed.
Chances are some of the Hartnell freshmen probably have never played in a stadium that has all the charm, history, atmosphere and distractions as the place fondly called "The Pit."
For sure a few probably haven't played in a stadium where the fans are so close to the sidelines they can be mistaken for a receiver.
"We'll do our best to describe the atmosphere," Collins said. "You have to block out all the distractions. The fans are right on top of you. There's not a lot of room. There's nothing worse than running off the field excited that you scored a touchdown, but forgetting you're part of the PAT [point after touchdown] team while your celebrating by the water bucket or talking to a fan by the chain link fence." College of the Sequoias, meanwhile, will always have a special place in Hartnell history. Four years ago COS and Hartnell played in one of the wildest games in the history of Salinas High Stadium. The four-hour epic ended with Hartnell staging a dramatic rally, coupled with a goal-line stand, to pull out an exhausting 66-60 win.
This year COS, 2-2, has beaten Feather River (14-7) and Solano (31-7) and lost to San Mateo (55-14) and Foothill (21-14).
Hartnell was involved in two high-scoring affairs to start the season, scoring 46 and 34 points, respectively, but was held to three points last week by Cabrillo.
"It was frustrating for us," Collins said. "We had 240 yards to their 99. We had 14 first downs to their seven. We had the ball for 38 minutes, they had it for 24."
But Hartnell lost three fumbles and was penalized 13 times for 100 yards in the 13-3 loss.
"Yet we were still in it," Collins noted. "We dropped three balls, and one was on their two-yard-line. We're five to seven snaps away from being a 3-0 team."
The biggest improvement came from the defense. The 13 points Hartnell allowed was the second lowest total since Collins became head coach three years ago.
"Pete [coach Pete Noble] did a great job," Collins said. He put together a great game-plan and the kids played hard."
Hartnell's defense, which was near the bottom in the state rankings after the first two weeks, has moved into the upper half since.
COS has scored 113 points in its last two games against Hartnell.
Hartnell's leading receiver, Tim Smith, may not play due to a hip injury and quarterback Brad Smet is questionable with a lower back strain.

Designed by Marco Brogiotti. As part of our ongoing research and innovation, we devised Materia, a new concept in modern kitchens, capable of telling the tale of a unique kitchen, one that never forgets the joy in cooking, in using creative materials and in creating memories.
Just as fine food and wine are capable of taking the flavors and culture tied to a place and interpreting them with a modern and clever touch, Materia rediscovers the tradition of kitchen cabinetry that is unequivocally linked to the world of design.
In an open and free global market built on great opportunities, it wasn't easy to go beyond the stereotypes of shape and color and the standard canons of traditional kitchens. Our team looked for design substance which ultimately became the very heart and soul of Materia. What they came up with was a modern, yet timeless, message that delights you in both form and function. Local Italian chefs assisted the designers in bringing life to the design. With their culinary know-how, they took Materia to a new level, illustrating the practicality and self-assurance one can freely express in the kitchen. The infinite flexibility of Materia made it possible to create stimulating settings and provided an opportunity to reassess everyday cooking in a modern world, placing it within the reach of anyone who is looking for sensation, pleasure and emotion in the kitchen.

IN BRIEF: Something that represents something else.
Every thing has its representation. We use symbols in every day of our lives but we never know that how can they affect us. A powerful good symbol can bring prosperity in our life and a bad symbol can harm us. We can change our destiny by using good symbols.
Glossary of Symbols
Anchor is the symbol of security and stability, one can draw this symbol when he needs security in some of his activity. This is the ancient Symbol which is used for Preservation or deliverance from destruction, difficulty, or evil, as it symbolizes security. This symbol can be used in daily routine if a person is facing tough time in life, one can draw this symbol in morning when he wakes up and then when he go for bed in night, This symbol can be wear to de spell the negative forces like black magic or if he feels he is troubled from wandering souls.
Animals Displaying animals can be understood as various kind of Instinct rules so there will be high intensity of emotions will be displayed where there are various animals displayed in home. As Animals use their instincts, if we display Animals in our homes we are bound to live with our instincts and some time we will behave in some other kind of behavior which is not desirable in good society. We should avoid the pictures or idols of aggressive animals we should study the nature of the animal and then chose the right symbol to use that animal symbol in our homes
Ankh is the ancient symbol of generation. Ankh is a an Egyptian symbol , as we study this symbol it is like an half symbol of infinity with a cross, this symbol defines Life, regeneration,It is pure symbol of Masculine (staff) and Feminine (closed loop). As this symbol is like a male principle is getting union with female principle when properly used It can give tremendous powers in rituals where one is try to get his mind still and one can achieve desire goals mystically. These symbols should use very carefully and we should never wear it as it is a sacred symbol so it should be used only when one try to live a spiritual life.
Anubis is the symbol of evolution of consciousness from lower to higher levels. Anubis is the Egyptian God of the underworld (death) who guided the spirits of the dead into the afterlife. Mostly this symbol was used around the mummies. Normally one can use this symbol in a tragic death of any person to help him to reach to his higher self and recognize the death. Since Jackal (dog-headed) have some instincts which can sense death much before the actual death occurs. We should avoid Anubis symbol in our home as It has direct link with death and transformation. If any person who is having deep grief illness and he bring this symbol (picture) and then destroy the symbol in fire by doing this he can delay the death or get his health back.
Apple is the symbol of abundance, some time it is represents with sexuality. Apple is The traditional symbol of earthly desires, it also has representation with magic ( the fruit of eternal life). In modern times it represent the abundance and good health. Apples can be displayed on dining Table as it will represent the food when taken will give good health and there will be abundance in home.
Arrow is the modern symbol of direction in ancient times it represented the rays of sun. Arrow is the symbol of Single point concentration, it also represent the direction, One can draw this symbol with closed eyes when he desire to achieve some thing, he can throw mental drawn arrows to the desire object to achieve that object. Arrow is the classic symbol of the sun rays which also means creativity in life.
Rainbow is the symbol of happiness. If a person is having a dull life he can visualize or have a painting of Rainbow in his room the life will automatically start getting transformed and in few days he will notice that life has filled with vast Happiness.

The Caring Hand that Cripples: The East German Labor Market after Reunification
AbstractThe East German labor market has hardly made any progress since German reunification, despite massive migration flows and support from the West. We argue that East Germany is in trouble precisely because of the support it has received. This paper explores the phenomenon of 'the caring hand that cripples,' arising from bargaining by proxy, the adoption of the West German welfare system and the associated employment persistence. Even the steady decrease of labour cost (normalized by productivity) since the beginning of the 1990s did not help to kick start the East. We suggest that labor force participants fell into 'traps,' concerning low skills, ageing of the workforce, labour-saving capital and skills, capital underutilization, and unemployment arising from the decline of the tradeable sector.

Creating a visually stunning, thought-provoking sci-fi thriller can be a challenge for many filmmakers, particularly on a small budget and short shooting schedule. But writer-director Caradog James overcame these challenges with his latest film, The Machine, which had its world premiere last month at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York City. The filmaker incorporated visionary special effects and stunts into a plot that philosophically questions what would happen if the technology meant to help humanity became the root of all its challenges and problems.
Set in the midst of a second Cold War, The Machine follows Britain's Minister of Defense as he seeks a game-changing weapon. He enlists the help of brilliant programmer Vincent McCarthy (Toby Stephens) to research and develop a cybernetic super soldier in a secret government lab, with the help of a newly hired scientist, Ava (Caity Lotz). But when a programming bug causes his prototype to malfunction, Vincent takes his efforts underground, away from the prying eyes of his superiors. Soon Vincent has perfected the ideal fusion of human and machine to make the ultimate creation, a dangerous being that may be the key to the endless war. But a surprising human sentiment growing within the machine puts everyone's plans at risk.
James generously took the time to sit down for an exclusive interview during the Tribeca Film Festival to talk about filming The Machine. Among other things, the writer-director discussed how his interest and research in artificial intelligence and the sci-fi genre prompted him to make the sci-fi thriller, and how he felt Lotz and Stephens were the best choices for the two lead roles in the film, especially after they built a strong working relationship after only a week of rehearsals.
Check out the full interview below.
WGTC: You both wrote the screenplay for, and directed, The Machine. Were did you come up with the inspiration and idea for the story?
Caradog James: Well, the key thing when you're a writer-director is that you know it's going to take two or three years before it gets to the screen. So the script is something you really have to be passionate about. So what I tried to do is find something that I really cared about and was interested in.
I was reading a lot about artificial intelligence. It seemed to me that there hadn't been a hard sci-fi movie done in a long while. They're movies that really inspire me as a filmmaker. I thought, what is cutting edge, and where is that going? I think the genre has shaped society.
I got a meeting with a guy who worked for the Ministry of Defense off-the-record. He talked me through how he's building artificial intelligence, and how he's building cells, and how that's teaching them how to build machines.
WGTC: Is science-fiction, and artificial intelligence in particular, something you'd be interested in exploring again in another movie?
Caradog James: I love sci-fi. I'm a huge genre fan, and it's something I'd love to do again. I like what (director) Neill Blomkamp did with District 9, and what he's doing with Elysium, which I haven't seen yet, but it looks on the same line.
But using sci-fi to talk about how the world is today, and where it may lead us in the future, is really interesting. It's a great way to talk about big ideas in a way that's entertaining and exciting for audiences, and that's what I want in movies-to have a good time, and be thrilled and entertained.
WGTC: How did you balance that entertainment factor with the research you did before you began shooting?
Caradog James: Well, a big part of that was through my collaboration with my producer, John (Giwa-Amu). I'd complete a draft and give it to John, and he'd read it. We then discussed the best way to get all these big ideas across in a way that's entertaining, and not just spatting out information. So that was a big part of the process.
Then later on, we test screened the film for audiences. That was a great way to get rid of all the extraneous stuff in the film.
Sometimes when you're looking for finances, you tend to over-write the script. You think the people who fund movies may not get it, so you put too much information in. Sometimes you keep the extra stuff in through filming. That's the great part about test screenings; you get all this feedback from audiences about how to shape and craft the movie in a way that you get enough, but not too much.
WGTC: You're releasing the movie through your production company with John, Red And Black Films. How did working with your company influence the way you made the film? Was it easier making the film through your own company?
Caradog James: Yes, it was fantastic. John's such a creative producer. We've worked together for eight years, so there's a lot of trust and support between us. That's what any filmmaker needs, really-a really nurturing and supportive producer who's always going to fight for the quality of the film.
I'm sure there are other independent producers who are great, too. But the advantage of having worked with John for so many years is explicit. It really helps in what we can produce, which is fantastic.
WGTC: Speaking of independent producers, how did making The Machine on an independent, small budget influence the way you shot it?
Caradog James: Well, I have seen movies that have cost $250 million, and I've been incredibly bored. There could be amazing special effects that are brilliant, but everything else is kind of dead on screen.
I think the advantage we have as independent filmmakers is that we can just concentrate on stories and characters. I think those are things that move and hold the audience. You come to care about the characters, and invest in their journeys, and want to see whether they fail or succeed.
So that's what we really focused on, telling a successful, cool, exciting story, but also populating it with stories you can get behind. I think doing that allowed us to get the team that did the effects on Avator, and did some of the best stuff in The Dark Knight. They read the script and loved it and wanted to get involved. So we didn't need a million dollars for the special effects.
Continue reading on the next page…
WGTC: Would you be interested in working on a bigger budget, studio film in the future, or are you interested in staying with the independent movies?
Caradog James: No, give me as much money as you can!
WGTC: Caity Lotz plays two roles in the film, first as Ava and later as the title character. What was the casting process like for her?
Caradog James: We met lots of actresses. It was such a great opportunity for an actress to get to play Ava and the machine. In a sci-fi movie, it's such a strong, iconic character.
We saw a lot of actresses, but frankly, Caity was so much better than all of the other ones, that we knew instantly that she was the one for the role. We were so thrilled that she came on board. I can't imagine anyone else doing as good of a job as she did.
WGTC: Did you work with Caity at all before you began filming the movie, to help her develop her two characters?
Caradog James: Yes. Both Caity and Toby came over for about eight rehearsal days. Caity and Toby got together to build some chemistry, and the three of us all worked together. One of the key things to a good performance is trust, and that's hard to build once you get the high pressure on set as you begin shooting.
So they spent the eight days to start to get to know each other, and build that sense of being a team. Actors have to be able to take risks to give great performances, and trust is an important part of that aspect.
WGTC: Caity did all of her own stunts while you were filming. Do you feel that having her do all the stunts helped her in her performance overall?
Caradog James: Without a doubt, yes. If we had to cut to a stunt double, the film wouldn't have had the same film. When Caity did the stunts, it was incredible. You believe she's a machine, because she's doing extraordinary things. I think the audience won't be able to grasp that Caity's doing these extraordinary things; it's not CGI.
WGTC: What was the process of creating those stunts on set? Did you have to rehearse them with Caity?
Caradog James: Of course we had to rehearse. But it was such a tight schedule, so she was often rehearsing three or four stunt sequences at the same time. As we were changing the camera, she'd be rehearsing the next one. I think it's because she has muscle memory from being a dancer that allowed her to pick stuff up. Without that experience, there would have been more trouble, and a lot less spectacular than they are.
WGTC: You mentioned Toby Stephens, who plays Vincet in the film, earlier. What was the casting process for him like?
Caradog James: Again, we had a lot of successful actors we met, but Toby was just awesome. He had all of the qualities we were looking for. I think he showed a different side that not a lot of people knew about. A lot of people know him as a villainous character, and he brought a lot of vulnerability to this role.
WGTC: Would you be interested in working with both Toby and Caity again in the future?
Caradog James: I'd be lucky if I only got to work with them because they're so special and fun to work with. They're so good, and I couldn't have wished for better actors.
WGTC: In the story, you have China warring with Britain in a new Cold War over science. What was the process like of choosing what country would serve as the antagonist in the story?
Caradog James: That just came from the research. That's where the world's going, in terms of economics-China holds so much of the debts of the States and the U.K. It seemed as though they would be the next super power we brush up against, in terms of trying to protect our economy. They seemed like an interesting place to talk about, and that's where the problems may occur to us in the future, in another Cold War.
WGTC: Did you do any particular research on The Cold War from the last century as you were preparing to make the film?
Caradog James: Yeah, I did a lot of research, particularly about what would happen if this happened now. Taiwan is a place China has its eye on. There's always been a dispute over who owns it. If there was another Cold War, Tawain would be a part of it, as there's so much trade and money there, which leading the West and China to turn to it.
WGTC: What do you hope audiences will take away from the movie?
Carado James: Well, there's nothing in this film that I don't think can't happen in the future. I think it's amazing the rate at which technology is advancing. Who knows when it will happen, but it's in our nature to strive to create life, and this type of machine isn't that far away. All of the questions the movie brings up is fascinating. The topic of what it means to be human and be alive needs to come up, but we tried to have with it in this movie.
WGTC: What was your reaction when you found out the moview as going to be playing at the Tribeca Film Festival?
Caradog James: I was absolutely thrilled. Coming to New York is in every filmmaker's imagination. It's a truly cinematic city, and there are so many great filmmakers here, like (Martin) Scorsese, who's one of my favorite filmmakers of all time. So it's an absolute dream to be premiering our film in this festival, and we're so lucky.
That concludes our interview, but we'd like to thank Caradog James for taking the time to speak with us. The Machine is still awaiting distribution, so be sure to check back here for more updates.Previous

@slim1256 - That seems to be the typical way of looking things in the corporate world, but I think just the opposite is true. Companies frequently decide they can do what they need to do with fewer people so they can squeeze out more profits, but that's often a mistake. The truth is, most corporations are trying to do too much with too few resources. Quality inevitably suffers. Well, that and the mental health of the employees who remain and are continuously pressured to work harder, faster and longer.
I'm not saying that's what's happening with Blizzard — I have no idea what their particular situation is — but this trend of corporate downsizing has not generally been a good thing for most of the people affected, including consumers.

(Venezuelan corncakes)
Image by caracasapie
Makes 5-10 arepas
- Pre-cooked cornmeal (see notes) -- 2 cups
- Salt -- 1/2 teaspoon
- Boiling water -- 3 cups
- Oil -- 3 tablespoons
- Preheat oven to 400ºF. In a large bowl, mix together the cornmeal and salt. Pour in 2 1/2 cups of the boiling water and mix with a wooden spoon to form a mass. Cover with a towel or plastic wrap and set aside to rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Using wetted hands, form balls of dough out of about 1/4 cup of dough and press to form a cake about 3 inches wide and 3/4 inch thick. If the dough cracks at the edges, mix in a little more water and then form the cakes.
- Heat the oil in a sauté pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté the patties, a few at a time, to form a light brown crust on one side, 5 to 6 minutes. Flip and brown on the other side.
- When all the patties have been browned, transfer them to a baking sheet and bake in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until they sound lightly hollow when tapped. Serve immediately.
- Filled Arepas: Split the arepas in half when finished and scoop out a little of the soft dough filling. Stuff with your chosen filling.
- Arepa de Pabellón: shredded, seasoned meat and black beans.
- Reina Pepeada: chopped chicken, avocado, and mayonnaise mashed together.
- Arepa de Dominó: black beans and crumbled white cheese.
- Arepa de Perico: scrambled eggs with tomatoes, peppers and onions.
- Columbian Arepas: make smaller and thicker and don't bake. Top with butter and melted cheese.
- Other possible fillings: grated white or cheddar cheese; guasacaca, ham and cheese, hard-boiled quails eggs.
- The sautéing step is sometimes skipped and the arepas are simply baked. In the countryside arepas are often cooked on the grill.
- Small arepas can be made and served as appetizers with garnishes on top instead of inside. Or they can be eaten as small biscuits.
- Sometimes a little sugar is mixed in with the dough to form sweet arepas (arepas dulces).
- The cornmeal used to make arepas is a special, precooked type that usually goes by the name masarepa, or masa precocida. It can often be found in Latino markets. The more commonly found masa harina is not the correct type to use for this recipe.
Another variation of arepas:
In a medium size bowl to mix 4 arepas(could be glass or metal):
1. Add milk to mix,(instead of water, prefferably 2% fat free
depending of the quantity of arepas you want to make), then
2. Add an egg, then
3. Add lots of schreded fresh parmessan cheeses, then
4. Stir thoroughly with a batter, then
5. Start pouring the corn mix, (the best and most popular in
Venezuela's pre-cooked corn mix "Harina P.A.N."
Particularly, I preffer the yellow corn mix), little by
little as you mix it with a batter, then
6. Continue mixing the corn mix with your hand (wash your hands
before mixing)to give the mix the desired blend, and to
avoid it to crumb adding more milk for the proper
consistancy (not to soft nor hard), then
7. Add salt to your test (remember to add the salt last since
the parmessan cheese is salty).
8. Once you are on point 6, take a deep pan adding enough oil
to cover the arepas, and place it on the stove medium high;
so that when you are ready to cook fry the arepas the oil is
very hot.
Important note: Do not leave the mix too long on the bowl before frying the arepas since it hardens.
Well, once you have had followed the above mixing instructions, procced to cook the arepas!
1. Take a hand full of the mix into your hand stroking your
hands together on a circle manner to make a ball, then
2. Place the ball on a kitchen plastic wrap, and wrap the
ball flatening it making it round, even and smooth(approx.
1/4 of an inch thick), then
3. Turn the stove to medium heat and place the arepas into the
pre heated frying pan until it's golden fried.
4. Golden fry the arepas for about 8 - 10 minutes or until
thoroughly cooked, then
5. As you take the arepas out of the frying pan; place them on
doble paper towels to absorb the oil before serving.
Note: The mixture of the milk, eggs and parmessan cheese makes a very thin, golden and soft arepas crust; making it to absorb very little oil.
You can open the arepas medium half, put butter if you like, scrambled eggs, smoked turkey, or fill it up with anything your little heart desires.
It is a delicious breakfast meal that you can eat with refried beans, a cup of fresh coffee late, capucino, or anything your little heart desires, and
Enjoy eating your arepa!
Arepa Flour | P.A.N. (cooked corn flour)
I had never heard of arepas until I saw them on a cooking channel show, 'Unique Eats'. They looked good so I experimented with different recipes and I now have my arepa recipe adjusted to my families taste and the arepas are wonderful. Amazon.com sells P.A.N.(cooked corn flour) and Walmart sells P.A.N., the most popular brand, in the latino food section. Authentic arepas are only made from cooked corn flour, either white or yellow. I prefer white. The recipe given is a good starting point to make your personal recipe to suit your taste. From what I've read arepas are made many ways with many variations of this recipe depending on what country in South America you live in(for example Columbia does not use oil in their recipe). Try them, make them your own and enjoy. Have a great day!!
Thank you for the help!
How wonderful to have your help! A friend of mind from Venuzuela recommended this to try! I am so exited. I love learing new things and this sound great!!
I live Greece and we have
I live Greece and we have only yellow flour...Can I use this instead of pre-cooked cornmeal?
type of flour
claro solo que te va a saber differente pero no te preocupes porque de todos modos sabe delicioso. pero no le pongas demasiado o si no se te va aser aguado y guacatelas
I admire what you have done
I admire what you have done here. I like the part where you say you are doing this to give back but I would assume by all the comments that this is working for you as well.
Harina Pan
HEBs grocery stores in Texas carry Harina Pan in the imported food section. As for the white cheese, they also have it. It is called Queso Blanco, found in the dairy dept.
You can go to www.goya.com and order it there :*)
What is Harina Pan in Argentina??
I LOVE arepas and have eaten them many times, especially having lived in Venezuela and having Colombian and Venezuelan friends. Problem is, I now live in Argentina and I can´t for the life of me find Harina Pan. I ask in the stores and no one seems to know. I´ve read in the comments that it´s cornmeal, would that be harina de maiz??? Here we have polenta, but I that doesn´t seem to work..
Anyone know???
Harina de maiz
Harina de maiz is different then cornmeal, the maiz is what we make tortilla also the mexican use it too.. cornmeal is dry corn, I know it hard to fnd in Argentina, my husband loves apepas and I am learing to make then, I was born in EL Salvador but rise all my life in US. Plus I learning to make other foods too.. good luck in finding some corn meal .. maybe you have to do it old way get dry corn and smash it down to a powder and just put little salt..
The closest flour found in
The closest flour found in the State is the mexican flour for tamales(I mean the one that has the word "Tamales" in the package. It has a little different texture and smoky taste, but they are good to replace the arepas made with Harina Pan.
What is Harina Pan?
Not sure if I can help, but you're right. You can't use polenta so you can stop trying :). Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arepa, says the maize is soaked, skinned, dried and ground to make the harina. That seems to take a middle ground between corn meal and masa harina. In the U.S. I fake it with mexican masa harina. But I don't know if I'm getting close to the real thing.
I just checked, and maybe you can order Harina P.A.N. by mail. http://tinyurl.com/2b866v8
Good luck!
Thanks for your help. I´m
Thanks for your help. I´m going to try and have someone bring me some from the states!!
where can you find them in

Harina PAN in Rome
I found Harina PAN (which is the most used brand of cornmeal in Venezuela) in Rome last week. In the basement of the store/café named Castroni, located in Via Nazionale 71.
Arepas recipe & ingredients
They all look like "gorditas" from Mexico, just plain corn flour, and a very easy to find as "MASECA" corn flour. They usually stuffed with about anything, nopalitos (tender cactus leaves) during lent time, ground-beef, chicken in salsa verde, cooked pork cracklings, shredded beef (guisado, tinga, red-chili sauce), etc. and add fresh sliced lettuce, tomatoes, onions and even served with more fresh spicy salsa. They can be cooked on a skillet with little or no oil or deep fried too, they're all good.
These are far from Gorditas
These are far from Gorditas

Harina P.A.N. in the San Francisco Bay Area
Hi all,
I used to live in Venezuela 8 years ago and got hooked on arepas, among other things. Can anyone please tell me where I can get Harina P.A.N. in the San Francisco Bay Area? I miss these terribly and would love to make some!
Thank you
I just bought some from an online grocery store. www.amigofoods.com
It is a great website and you can purchase groceries from Central and South American countries!! All the products that I've purchased have been great and definelty remind me of my time spent in South America!
Hope you like the site.
Arena Pan in SF
You can get it in the Mission. All the small latin markets should have them.
Where to find harina p.a.n.
In San Francisco, I always buy it either at the market on 16th and Valencia, or at another market on 24th Street, between Alabama and Harrison.
The one on 16th is easy to get to by BART. Just get off at the 16th Street station and walk one block east on 16th. For the one on 24th Street, get off at the 24th Street BART station and walk east on 24th about 6 or 7 blocks. The market is on the right-hand side of the street.
Not sure where the best place in the East Bay would be. Maybe a supermercado in the Fruitvale District of Oakland? South Bay and Peninsula is out of my territory.
Hope you can find some! -- Chef Brad
Arepas in Las Canarias
I live on Fuerteventura, one of the Canary Islands and arepas are well-known here too. There are a lot of South Americans here from all over the continent so we get a wide variety of food. Arepas for breakfast is our normal fare. We always use PAN flour and the recipe shown will work just fine. Another way that we take them is to press them a little thinner, maybe 1cm, and just fry them in olive oil until nicely crisp. Lovely with bean salad.
It's a tasty, cheap meal and even I can make them.
I live in Florida, and have
I live in Florida, and have (for 5 years) had Venezuelan baseballl players as guest in my home as I am a Host Mom. They have arepas every morning. One Mom that was visiting cooks her arepa first browned on the stove then in the oven. One of the players cooked his in my electric skillet. The best I have had is cooked in an electric Oster Arepa Maker. It makes 6 at a time, is round and concave so it is easy to scoop the middle out and fill with anythng you want. They always use corn meal with the brand name of PAM. It is purchased at a local Mexican food market. That is the only place I have found it. The arepa makers can be purchased on line at Target or Walmart, Amazon or Ebay. Good luck as this is a wonderfull bread.
Most of you are so right, arepas are supposed to be baked so they form that wonderful crust, and they puff when ready, about 22 minutes. I am from Maracaibo, la tierra del sol amada, (the Sun's adored land). Arepas can be grilled on the open pit barbecue and filled with shredded beef and farmers cheese, dipped in guasacaca and you never tasted anything so good. Yummy I live in St. Louis, Mo
I also grew up in the Lake Maracaibo area. Still think the best way is once made, fry in skillet and drench in butter or peanut butter. Maria used to make them this way as after school snacks for us. She was from Merida and browned on top of the stove and then baked in oven. fortunately, P.A.N. is becoming much more available in Houston...even my Wal-Mart carries it :-)
I made these last week.
I made these last week. What a treat. I gave some to a Columbian friend and she said it tasted just like hers. I filled mine with black beans and chorizo mixture topped with cheese. Now there is a demand in my house for them.
I lived in Marricaibo, Venezuela & I purchased my Arepas from a street corner vender that stuffed the arepa with a white cheese than dipped it into a batter, than fried it to a golden brown. He than removed it, slit a small opening into the Arepa & added tomato & lettuce. What a treat & a great memory.
Arepas de Maracaibo
I was raised in Maracaibo (10 years) and we certainly ate our share of street vendor arepas which were filled with meat and white cheese, dipped in a batter and fried. I still drool thinking about them. Equally favorite were the tequenos. What a treat. Just wish I could find that white cheese here in Houston, Texas. I find something similar, but not the same. Any suggestions?
Yes! another "maracucha" we call these "tumbarranchos" it was mine and my friends' lunch pretty much all through high school. I miss them so much, a tumbaranchos and batido tody. Hmmmm
I live in UK. My father's family (maternal side) is from Venezuela. I first had them (and pastalitas) when I was about 8 yrs old. I Hav found a Columbian stall at a local market & nwo able to get harina Pan & masa precocida.. I was confused when I bought the columbian arepas, as they are flat, com[ared to the Venezuelan ones, but still delicious with a mozarella & ham topping. Have made Venezuelan Arepas, now going to try the Columbian recipe & pastalitas - memories of long ago :-)
My boys and I LOVE arepas! They grew up in Valencia and later Caracas when they were young and we love making arepas! But, since we've moved to Michigan, and losing my latest source of arepa mix (missionaries who had to move out of Venezuela due to Chavez), I need a source of arepa mix, Venezuelan or Colombian, nearby. Anyone know of one? By the way, it is a great recipe for kids -- they really enjoy making them!
I live in Kalamazoo and my husband and I find Harina PAN at La Mexicana. They usually have a good stock and are around $2 a bag.
I live in Michigan also.
I live in Michigan also. Lansing Area... Can you tell me their phone #??
Harina PAN
I live in Texas and Harina PAN can be difficult to find, but I have found it in Fiesta Food Stores in the Houston and Dallas/Ft. Worth areas.
How to get corn meal the right one in Denmark
Hey there! I resently found out about arepas and would very much like to try and make them. But i see that one have to use yellow maiz flour - or harina pan - and i really dont think that i can get that brannd here in the cold north. Is there any other yellow corn flour one can use?
- if anyone is wondering, Denmark is a small country in Skandinavia. Not the capital of Ikea ;)
Hugs from me!
Hope you guys can help me
harina pan in denmark
You can find it in most ethnic stores in the big cities. Look for Harina Pan in the yellow bag.
It might take several tries to find a store that carries it, but there are many. I've found it in Herning and Aalborg. It was 30 to 38 kr depending on the store.
Harina PAN in Denmark
If you happen to live near Odense, you can go to Bazaar Fyn, one of the shops there has Harina PAN for sale. A miracle.
Otherwise, I know there is a Bazaar located in Aarhus which might have something similar...
Good luck!
use any precooked cornmeal -
use any precooked cornmeal - make sure it is precooked (not the one that is used for cornbread, for example). you are not really 'cooking' the arepa - just making a crust, which you can do by heating on the grill (or some people bake and then brown them quickly on the grill - same difference). it doesn't have to be any particular brand, but people that grew up or have lived in venezuela just prefer that particular brand (pan) because it is what we grew up with - but other brands work just fine.
arepas + cooked cornmeal
can I cook the cornmeal first like I was making polenta and then proceed with the recipe. I was hoping to make them this am for a football game but only have Quaker Oats and Goya corn meal. ? Help I have my heart set on cheese stuffed arepas for HS homecoming today. thanks
Can't wait to try...
I learned about Arepas last night on "Showdown with Bobby Flay". They sound delicious. I'm fairly certain I won't be able to find the right kind of cornmeal where I live so thanks to all of you who posted resources. I think I will order some today.
Can anyone provide a good recipe for picadilla-style beef and also what is the best kind of cheese to use in the filling?
here is a recipe i learned from my husbands grandmother while living in mexico.
* 2 lbs. ground meat ( commonly used is beef, but i recommend turkey burger for a healthier version.)
* 2 Lg. Potatoes ( cubed very small)
* 2 good sized carrots (or about a handfull of minis)diced
* 1/2 Lg. apple . also cubes very small
* 1 Tbsp. Salt
* 1/2 tsp black pepper
* water as needed
* Lg. jalepeno
brown meat. drain well. add carrots, salt, and pepper, and about1/2 cup water. bring to a boil, lower heat simmer about 15 mins. ( until carrots are semi soft)Add potatoes and apple and jalepeno. continue simmering add water as needed. simmer about 10-15 mins. more or until potatoes are soft.and water is evaporated.
i love using this to stuff chilis , but also the quesilla queso, (melting cheese, quesadilla cheese) is the best to stuff things with, at least i think so.
good luck
I, too, saw the throwdown. I want to teach this to my middle school students. I'm worried, however, that I won't be able to find the right cornmeal. Let me know if you made them.
Don't be too worried the right kind of masa (P.A.N. Harina de Maiz) can be found in your local grocery store in the international foods section or if you have an international food store or market you should be able to find it there as well I live in crossville tn and we don't have a international food store but we do have a very small not very good hispanic store but I find the masa at my local grocery store(a.k.a Krogers) all the time!! But I would strongly advise that you go to a international food or market store if you have one or go to the grocery store like I said and sometimes you can find it in a health food store (not all the time though)!!
I hope this helps alot! =D
Crossville,Tn age 19
Go to www.goya.com
It is Masarepa - Harina de Maiz Amarilla and it is good and cheap; I am from Detroit,MI high population of Latino's, the various cultures that live here make it a great place to obtain any ingredient for anything :*) Hope this is what your looking for.
Ingredients & techniques
This is a pretty good recipe, but I would make two notes. First, I lived in Venezuela for 6 years & my husband is from there. Neither of us has EVER heard of arepas being baked in the oven - you cook them on medium heat on the stove until they are browned & sound hollow when "thumped". My second note is simply about the cornmeal: Masarepa works ok, but if you can find it, use "Harina Pan". This is the original, traditional cornmeal used for Venezuelan arepas. It can be dificult to find, but not impossible. I live on the west coast & am able to get it at a local bodega.
Arepas in the Oven
I am Venezuelan and have seen and tried it cooked both ways. My entire familial line cooks them in the oven, and always has. Maybe it different from region to region. My family is from Anzoategui and Caracas. Harina Pan is all I would ever use. The way that my family for years has always cooked arepas is by making the patties, boiling them on the stove to form a smooth layer of skin, and then putting them into the oven directly on the rack to bake. I've never had a tastier arepa than when it is cooked that way. You should try it.
Hi Niki!!! I noticed that you had family in Anzoategui...My father was a "petrolero" and I grew up in San Tome and Puerto La Cruz. I'm 64 and lived there from 1947 to 1965. I'm making arapas tonight for the first time in years. I appreciated your comments and am going to try it the way you suggested.
Thanks, Nick Ryder
Boiling arepas
Niki: Good to find out that someone else first boils arepas and then places on oven racks. We find that they always are just perfect and assures that the insides are fully cooked.
BTW this is central Florida (not a particularly latin sector), but just about all the supers and Walmart - Target carry Harina Pan.

Welcome to this week's the 411. Fans of Hip Hop and Rap remember a legend in the music industry. Heavy D died earlier this week at the age of 44 when he collapsed outside his Beverly Hills condo. The coroner's office says the star had medication in his home for flu-like symptoms. Heavy D was the president of uptown records and recently decided to start performing again. Just last month he returned to the stage after a 15 year hiatus for the BET Hip-Hop Awards. Louisville native and current Clark Atlanta University student, Keith Martin, was on the stage that night as a backup dancer for the artist. He's the person on the right of the screen. I reached out to Martin and he says: "I had the honor and privilege to bless the stage with Heavy D in his LAST performance at the 2011 BET Hip-Hop Awards.
What a blessing that was! Rest in Peace Heavy D. You will be missed. God called home a truly amazing guy. The time I got to encounter with him was an experience. Thank you Lord for that opportunity."
You will hear a lot more about Martin and his plans to make it in the industry in the near future. One of the last things Heavy D wrote on his twitter page was…. Be Inspired.
Next week I will have part two of my interview with choreographer to the stars -- LaVelle Smith Jr. So stay tuned for that- If you have a story idea send it to The411 at WHAS11.com. Also, you can catch me weekday on WLOU doing their news breaks. I'm Sherlene Shanklin for WHAS11 News.

Categories > Celebrities > My Chemical Romance
Going into the reason of just why Ashley Purdy is so... bewb obsessed.
A rather small boy was born in the hospital. Being rather unexpected, the boys parents, well, mostly mother, were scrambling for a name. She decided to name him after her favorite great uncle. However, something got lost in communication, the nurse writing down a girl's name instead.
25 years ago
"But auntie! I thought my cousin was a girl!" A little girl wailed. "Honey, he's a boy." Her aunt said gently. "But he looks like a girl! And he has a girls name!"
True, young Ashley Purdy's name had already caused confusion in his young life. Most relatives thought he was a girl, leading him to acquire a collection of dolls and dresses, due to that communication.
23 years ago
Ashley's parents lay awake, talking.
"I think your naming him a girly name is gonna give the kid issues."
"Don't blame me, blame the nurses!"
"He fucking plays with dolls!"
It was true. By now, 5 year old Ashley had quite the collection of Barbie dolls. However, most ran around au natural. When his mother asked about it, Ashley only grinned and said, "Mommy, they look better not wearing anything."
20 years ago
8 year old Ashley Purdy had gotten sent home from school for yelling out 'boobies' in class. More specifically, he had been transferred to a new class, presided over by a girl who looked like she had just graduated college. She couldn't have been older than 25. After taking them outside, they'd gotten rained on, causing her shirt to become fairly transparent. Young Purdy-boy took it upon himself to yell, "Hey miss! I like your boobies!"
Everyone heard. Including the mean old lady next door, who seemed to be in a perpetual bad mood. "Who was using inappropriate language?" She boomed when she entered. Everyone had pointed at Ashley. He was dragged to the principal's office by the ear. His only defense was "But sir! Boobies are awesome!"
As much as the principal wanted to agree, he was forced to send the young Purdy home with a note pinned to the back of his shirt asking his parents to tell the Pesky Purdy why yelling 'boobies' is inappropriate.
So the next day, he returned, telling his teacher, "Hey miss, sorry for saying 'boobies'. I learned yesterday it's not a nice word. I shoulda said 'breasts' instead, it's the proper word." Ashley couldn't understand why he was sent home again that day.
Present Day
Ashley Purdy still hasn't changed a single bit, still obsessed with boobies, and absolutely loving it. After all, he's always staring at girls, he has a huge collection of porn stashed everywhere, even the kitchen of the tour bus, he knows nearly every internet porn star by name, and he has a membership to nearly every porn sight on the internet. A large following of fan-girls recently made T-Shirts saying "I Fucked Ashley Purdy", and it caught on. The thing is, most of them probably did. His band mates would probably say he had a sex addiction. Hell, CC even went as far as to start leaving brochures about programs claiming to end sex addiction scattered around the tour bus in a not so subtle way.
But here's the thing. The band is wrong. Ashley doesn't have a sex addiction. He has a boob addiction.

Shelves That Make The Most Of Architectural Elements
Lack of storage is probably the most common problem in a small room— well hell, even in a big room it's tough! It's hard enough finding a free wall for a sofa much less for a bookshelf. But these inspiring shelving options that work around existing architectural elements have me rethinking the dilemma in a whole new light.
Before coming across these examples, I tended to think of bookcases as rather inflexible boxes, but I quickly learned that floating or simple plank shelving with brackets can be made to fit almost any space: between slanted ceilings, under stairs, next to fireplace, around windows and door frames— the sky's the limit! While some versions will probably require the expertise of a carpenter (pictures 4, 5, 7), the others are simple enough to recreate with the help of a handsaw, miter, stud finder and basic brackets.
Images: 1: Design*Sponge, 2: VT Wonen, 3: House Beautiful, 4: Better Homes and Gardens, 5: Wood Workers Workshop, 6: Martha Stewart, 7: House to Home
6 Comments
I'm thinking you can add number 3 to the list of ones that needed a carpenter.
I agree, bookshelves used to be a square box, that you tucked to the side of a room to stuff your box. Now that architectural elements have molded bookshelves, it's wonderful addition to your decor. I especially love when people utilize the space over doorways... How great is this?!
Does anybody know how I can find the blue paint color used in the second-to-last picture? That is the exact color I have tried to get twice now, and both times I failed!
I really like the shelves on the staircase. That looks really nice.
ccsully- it looks really close to BenMoore's icing on the cake 2049-70 mixed in 75% strength. Hope that helps!
love the last one.
