Parent involvement
People who pulled their kids out of cchs, their kids are probably the cause of some stuff at cchs, im an athlete and i get in trouble just as much as anybody else, the administration is ok but they are trying to do better and make the school better. soe parents just dont give the school a chance. every school has fights and drug problems so u wont escape it where ever u plan to go. i think its a good school, the sports are good especially the girls basketball program, the coach is very discipline and doesnt put up with anything. its a good school I recomend it!
Clay Chalkville could be an awesome school, but the administration is horrible. Students aren't allowed to be independent and have a little bit of freedom. We have been threatened with our diplomas if our relatives or our student body claps for anyone at graduation. In the future I hope the administators change, because they don't trust the students at all.
I'm the parent of a sophmore at CCHS. The community is very friendly and safe. I love the area and my son has been treated very well at the school. They offer many classes, have a very nice facility, many activities to be involved in, etc. Of all the parents and students I've came in contact with, they have nothing but great things to say about the school and administrators at CCHS. Some of the posts on here seem to be from, what I feel, a few disgruntled individuals.
This is an outstanding school. My youngest daughter graduated with a 3.70 gpa in 2000. She was a memeber of several academic clubs and organizations and competed in golf, where she was named 6A academic all-state. She also was in the marching band and her senior year the school won the 6A State Championship in football. Upon graduation, she received a partial scholarship to Jacksonvile State University and graduated in exactly 4 years with a 3.80 gpa. She is currently employed with WTTO, Channel 21. I would definitely recommend this school. CCHS has had several outstanding athletic programs, including girls' basketball and they were rated in the top 25 nationally in baseball this past season.
This is a terrible school to send your children. The administration is practically never there during the day, the counsellors are outnumbered by the students by an insane amount, calls by parents to the school never get anything accomplished, and the school rules are not specific in any respect. If you want your child to do well and be able to get help from teachers, principals, assistant principals, and the like, do not sent them to Clay-Chalkville High School.
If your child is not from a wealthy family and has any type learning problems then this is NOT the place for them. Please trust me and don't make the mistake of judging a place by its outward appearance.
As a student at CCHS I can tell you and anyone can tell you that people who have problems usually create them on their own. Teachers and administration at CCHS do not pick favorites. Most of the teachers at CCHS are very involoved in their student's lives and are open to helping them with their problems. I disagree with the sports comment. I myself did not take part in school sports for 2 years and was not treated any differently than I am now that I am. Most teachers respect students that respect them first.
I agree completely that athletes and students on sports teams are highly favored in this school. My daughter is learning disabled, is a sophomore, but is still barely passing because she is not getting all the help she is entitled to. We plan to move her to another school at the end of this school year. If you have a child with any disability at all, this is NOT the school for them.
I had the displeasure of going to this pathetic so-called school for 2 years. I left after 10th grade due to family needing me. There are a few teachers that are wonderful and should go to a school that deserves them. In my class alone, over 50 students left the same year I did either to get their GED or go to a different school. Trust me, anyone that is saying good things about this school has some reason that they are buttering it up. This school has certain favorites and lets some slide as far as discipline goes. But, as long as you have money or you are on a sports team, you needn't worry about being in trouble for anything. So if your family is well-endowed financially or your child excels sportswise, this is the perfect school. Especially if you want them to get away with things.
While a few teachers are wonderful, the administration and the counselors are just the worst. They seem to have no clue about the most effective way to deal with young adults, and forget even getting a return phone call if you have a problem. There is no excuse for the lack of professionalism from the counselors and admin. If you get a good teacher, then you can learn; if not, or if you have any sort of problem overall, you are out of luck. Needs much improvement.
CCHS is an excellent school. Great staff, helpful counselors, friendly teachers, and numerous clubs and extracurricular activies to get involved in. Drugs are a small problem, like all schools, but it doesn't affect anybody who is not involved in them. Any problem in the school (excessive stealing, fights, drugs) was handled swiftly and effectively by the administrators. Fights are a minimum now because students are sent to alternative school instead of suspended. I am VERY offended by by the re-zoning recommendation (supposedly to 'eliminate most, if not all of the problems that the young people face at CCHS'). I guess they meant re-zoning the apts. that housed the 'other students'. These towns (Clay, Chalkville, Pinson, and Trussville) need to accept the fact that we are trying to better ourselves and need to stop running from us and making it hard for us to prosper.
I 'm A sophomore at CCHS. In my opinion i think that CCHS is on of the top schools in Alabama. But we have one of the top Chiors in the state,our football team gets better every year,we always have something going on at our school,our teachers are always there if we need help most if not all will tutor you if you sign up to come in that morning or afternoon and our Principals really care they are always out in the halls watching out for anything that might happen,they really care about what we do with our life. i think that the students really watch out for each other& have pride in our school.
I extremely disagree with what everyone is saying about it being 'a great school' and 'the best in alabama'. Those who said that must be the parents of the kids who think their children are so great because they're on football or baseball or any other sport, The principals (including Mr. Shankles) pick and choose who they'll be nice to. The children who play sports always have it easier because they make the school 'look good'. Average kids have it harder in school b/c they aren't representing this school that shouldn't have ever been made. If you ask me, the whole school should be burnt to a crisp!
I was not only a student at this remarkable high school, I was also an athlete and was fortunate enough to be a part of the State Championship team. I had never heard of teachers that cared as much as the ones I was blessed to have. I am still a resident of Clay and see former teachers all the time, suprisingly, they care just as much now as they did when I was a student. I am currently a student at Wallace State, and I know in my heart I wouldnt be where I am, had it not been blessed with the teachers at Clay-Chalkville.
I graduated from Clay Chalkville and I really enjoyed all 4 years there! The teachers and staff were all encouraging and academics were challenging. There were so many clubs and activities to choose from: sports, student council, choir, and just about everyone was involved in something. I believe that I recieved a great education from CCHS and would highly recommend attending there to any high-school student!
As a college student at Auburn University, I look back on my experiences, both in and out of the classroom, and thank God for the opportunity to grow up in such a remarkable place. During my adolescent years, I was fortunate enough to have a dedicated administration and committed educators. Since my graduation in 2001, I no longer have a residents in the Clay area, but still have family and friends who do. I agree that a re-zoning of the school would eliminate most, if not all of the problems that the young people face at CCHS. I still think that Clay is the best community and environment for a child to grow up in, but if quick and decisive changes aren t made, I hate to admit it, but the Clay I remember want be the Clay your children remember.
I'm currently a Junior(class of '06)at Clay Chalkville High and I think that it is a wonderful school, sure it has its problems,but every school does. The facutly and administation are great and race relations are continually getting better. Go Cougars!
I am not a parent. I was a student at Clay Elementary and Clay-Chalkville my whole life. Now that I look back there is not a thing that I could possibly think of to say bad about the schools. In addition, I would love to add that I am very happy that I got the chance to attend a school where the administration cared so much about what went on in the students lives. I remember my freshman year in science class having a teacher that was not just there to teach but also there to help. I will never forget that teacher for the rest of my life. He is a principal now at Clay and deserves it very much so.
My daughter attended CCHS as a sophomore the first year the school opened and I immediately saw a difference in her drive to succeed. She went from a tolerance of school to a true enjoyment of school. She played two sports each year and kept her grades at honor roll status. My son now attends and this is his senior year. He's enjoyed his time at CCHS as well. The staff has helped instill in him the importance of planning for his own future. As for quality of education I'm very happy. My children have not had to be distracted with violence or negative environment. As far as communication with parents I am extremely impressed with e-mails and phone calls whenever needed. I reccommend CCHS to anyone looking for an all around safe, enjoyable and successful high school experience.
I think Clay-Chalkville is a great school. I have noticed great improvement in my child's personality, leadership ability, grades and their overall being. I partially contribute this to great leadership at the school, teamwork among parents and school staff and the children themselves. I would like my child to continue on their secondary education journey at Clay.

The Honda CBR900RR FireBlade's biggest revamp to date came for 2000 and it wasn't exactly what fans were expecting. New fuel injection was thirsty and made smooth riding harder. The 17" wheel tamed the Honda CBR900RR FireBlade's lively nature. More importantly the raucous, powerful Yamaha YZF-R1 was in the scene and the Suzuki GSX-R1000 was on the horizon – both better ...

Owners love their Yamaha BT1100 Bulldogs. Everyone else hates 'em. Depending on your point of view the Yamaha BT1100 Bulldog is either a relaxing, better-braked alternative to a cruiser, rather like a Japanese version of a Moto Guzzi Breva (that won't break down), or it's an ill-handling, gutless chump of a thing that would sooner dump you on your backside ...

Believe it or not, but you can still buy an 80s classic Hesketh V1000 motorcycle, brand new, made in small numbers by Broom Engineering. The original Hesketh V1000 was hailed as the saviour of the British industry back in 1981, but this heavy, rather touring orientated V-twin motorcycle was - and still is - an acquired taste. From 2004 onwards, the Hesketh ...

'Designed for Europe' Harley-Davidson Street Rod is a sports version of the Harley-Davidson V-Rod. So while the engine remains the same as its cruiser cousin, the Harley-Davidson Street Rod's chassis has been modified to turn it into a handler. It works, too, delivering a much more invigorating ride – still no Suzuki GSX-R1000, not by a long chalk.

There are some motorcycles which look good on paper, but fail to fire your adrenaline on the road somehow and theHonda CB900F Hornet is one of them. Maybe it's the mushy non-adjustable front suspension, the blandola looks or perhaps the slightly iffy build quality, but the Honda CB900F Hornet doesn't quite hit the spot.

The Harley-Davidson Night Rod is the third derivative of the controversial (but undeniably modern) Harley-Davidson VRSC V-Rod family is for those who like their bikes hot-rod style – and black. In practical terms it's halfway between the laid back Harley-Davidson V-Rod and semi-sporty roadster Harley-Davidson Street Rod. And that's no bad thing: a modern Harley with style and ability.

Originally more sportster than tourer, Hinckley Triumph's first bike slowly evolved into a fully-fledged tourer with a slightly sporty personality.

Residents looked on as ice on the Winooski River stood at a standstill Sunday morning."These type of jams can cause rising water that can actually affect public safety within a matter of minutes, so it requires constant vigilance," said Joe Flynn, Director of Vermont Emergency Management.The Montpelier Fire and Ambulance Department says the river has been jammed from Lower State Street to Taylor Street since Saturday night. "We've been watching the weather over the last three or four days and we knew there was a potential for this. We started getting notifications that there was some jamming in the rivers," said Montpelier Fire Department Chief Robert Gowans.Other parts of the state are also dealing with ice jams -- like in Lyndonville where streets were soaked with high water. "There's a perpetual problem of high water in times like this in Lyndonville area, intersection of Route 5 and Route 114. Certainly the Winooski in the last 12 hours through Richmond and Jonesville," Flynn said.The Winooski River jam caused the North Branch River to back up, resulting in a flooded basement for one business. "Usually you can kind of feel it happening with the rain, the ice, the warm temps -- but actually this morning when I came in I saw the water. It was a little unexpected," said Tristan VonDuntz with Onion River Sports.So far, they're the only business to flood and city officials hope other businesses in the area will use this as a sign to prepare. City officials are also making sure residents stay safe -- and stay out of flooded basements with exposed wires. "We sent out that notification this morning alerting the community to what was going on and giving them some basic public safety tips," said Montpelier Assistant City Manager Jessie Baker."So far what we're hearing is this is predominately the northern half to third of the state. We're not hearing from a lot of communities yet in the southern half of the state that they're having any significant issues, but that could change at any minute," Flynn said.The ice jam in Montpelier hasn't caused any residential flooding yet. Officials say with higher temperatures, they're hoping the ice will break itself up. WIth lower temperatures there are concerns that the river could back up and that could lead to flooding. "Until Mother Nature and the conditions allow these ice jams to let go, the backup is going to create problems potentially in areas," Flynn said.Road crews are also working to clear culverts of ice and patch potholes left behind by the rain. Vermont Emergency Management officials are asking drivers to stay away from roads that may be flooded and to report flooded homes or roads immediately.

Obama Breaks Silence On Tan Suit
Email from Facebook and I can't believe how quickly it escalates
Hi Du,
We wanted to let you know that messages are moving out of the Facebook app to our Messenger app, a free app that's faster and more reliable for everyday messaging, but more importantly for us to keep track of shit. Soon, we'll start guiding you to get started with Messenger, the app you've been refusing to install for reasons of common sense. I mean, why have two separate apps when one of them does more, right?! After a few days, you'll also see an annoying reminder notice in the Facebook app (we hope it slows down your phone), where you'd normally see your messages. At that point, we'll ask you to install Messenger or go to the Facebook website to view and send messages. So basically what we're saying is, we got you hooked and now we own your ass. Install every app we tell you to, when we tell you to. Mofo. Don't fuck with us because we have all your secrets. Thanks for your continued support and being a valued friend.

Merisa's Playful Modern Apartment
House Tour
Name: Merisa Libbey + her pup Zoe
Location: Silver Lake — Los Angeles, CA
Size: 600 square feet
Years lived in: 1.5 years — rent
Merisa Libbey's cozy Silver Lake apartment is the epitome of DIY charm. Newly bitten by the design bug, she has enrolled at UCLA in the Interior Design and Architecture program, quite a change from her (soon to be former) career as a dental hygienist. Her home displays her talent and promise as a budding designer. Working with a budget and plenty of elbow grease, Merisa gave this beloved apartment the care it needed. Layered textures, huge splashes of color and mismatching accessories are just three of the strong elements that pull her home together.
Merisa firmly believes that you should feel great coming home to a place you love — that you should be proud of your space and that it should represent who you truly are. Taking a few design tips from her interior designer friend Gidget Grimaldo, she was able to create a great layout that makes wise use of her space. One of the challenges was the small bedroom and bathroom, where Merisa used painting tricks and made furniture choices that really show off the tiny but wonderful rooms.
Merisa explained that her yorkie Zoe, along with a collection of personal photographs, are the most valuable things in her apartment. Each room is gathered with great care and shows her DIY skills; she painted the walls, patio, and bathroom, reupholstered a chair in fabric from Dwell Studio, and configured lighting and wiring to suit her needs. I found it was a great example of her talent and promise as future designer. Plus, when you are able to find a cool apartment like this in LA, you really should embrace it for all it's worth. "I love Los Angeles! I moved here from Orange County six years ago and I am constantly evolving and learning new things. I feel that living on the east side of Los Angeles has let me embrace, explore and pursue my creativity and passion for design. "
Many thanks to Leslie Landis for introducing us! Also thank you to Gidget Grimaldo for lending an extra hand in organizing the space for the house tour shoot.
Apartment Therapy Survey:
My Style: Playful mid-century/modern prep.
Inspiration: I wanted to create a happy and stimulating atmosphere for socializing with my friends that was also functional for my everyday needs. I really like the idea of mixing patterns and using bold colors and graphics.
Favorite Element: My apartment is small but has space in all the right places. The living room, kitchen, and patio are larger for entertaining and lounging. On the other hand, the bedroom is literally just that, a room with a bed in it!
Biggest Challenge: The apartment is unique and has some challenging dimensions to work with. The bedroom is a narrow rectangle with the closet and door in weird places. I had to do a lot of experimenting with the bed placement before I got it just right.
What Friends Say: "This place looks great!"
Biggest Embarrassment: When I moved in, the floor tile grout was black! After bleaching it to a dingy yellow I discovered a product called "grout paint", which I use to keep the grout looking fresh. Unfortunately, it has to be touched up every 3 to 4 months.
Proudest DIY: I am proud of everything! This whole apartment was one big DIY project.
Biggest Indulgence: My sofa was the best investment ever! The quality is amazing and it's super comfy!
Best Advice: Take your time decorating and look for special pieces. If you like something, but it's already been deemed "trendy", who cares, get it anyways! Don't be afraid to be bold and use color. Most importantly, have fun!

So cute- and a little teepee for Zoe, adorable! Where did you get the "Apartment sweet apartment" sign that is in your bathroom?
Was the cabinet under the bathroom sink a do it yourself project? I don't think I've ever seen one like it before. It's a very ingenious use of that space. Also admire how well you worked with long narrow bowling alley spaces of the bedroom and kitchen. You have a nice eye for fun vintage pieces, too. A fun tour. Thanks.
the one house tour where I wish there were more photos of the owner
Hey, I just noticed that your yellow patio table is a duplicate of two that I recently found. Makes me feel sophisticated! And reminds me that I forgot to include my compliments on your outdoor space in the earlier post. I like that space a lot , especially the floor.
Beautiful stylish girl in a beautiful stylish home! I have so say my favorite part of this tour though is that killer maxi dress...
Just fantastic!
If you have a small bathroom, you might as well make it funky, I love the frilly shower curtain and the enormous sink in a tiny vanity, somehow it works, Bravo...
like the living room wall color.. obviously she likes color.. big amounts of color specially in bathroom. maybe too much.. but why is her bedroom so drab?
Boy I tell you...if it were not for my punk'n head baby (yorkie) looking up at me begging me for a treat...I would swear she stole my dog!...
Cute home!
how cute is this pad and the owner! i also am smitten with the dog and stunning photos.
Thanks everyone for all the nice comments!
ROXY72 - I got the print from an etsy store.... http://www.etsy.com/people/ThePrintMakers
LYONSTILL- There is a socket on the side wall where I can plug in the lamp.
RESIDENTGEEK- Yes, I do like color and it may not be for everyone but, I think it's fun. I kept the bedroom less stimulating so it would act as a relaxing, peaceful atmosphere.
Great space! Where did the patio set come from?
smart and delicous design. <3 every pic of the tour!!
Perfect just perfect, every inch!
NORTHERNKATE- I'm glad you like it! The patio set is vintage. I go it on craigslist by searching "mid-century patio furniture" and spray painted it in marigold.
Also, everyone, please check out my friend and mentor, interior designer Gidget Grimaldo 's Pasadena company lemmonhill.com. You can also contact her at email@example.com . She helped style the apartment for the shoot.
looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooove this space. I'm also a big fan of color so this is right up my alley.
Great place! Love how the living and kitchen contrast! You've inspired me to look for grout paint : )
Great use of space and I really like the bedroom. One thing I will suggest - never use gloss or semi-gloss paint, especially dark brown, on walls that aren't perfectly smooth. Use flat on textured walls
Love the bathroom!!
how cow i love this so much. definitely my favorite ever... everything pleases me! right down to the mark ryden book on the bedside table. love love love.
yeah that was 'holy cow' ... but still. HOW COW!
I live in silver lake as well...very cute! Can I ask where you purchased the large glass bulbs in the sconce? I love it!
Beautiful lady! Cute dog! Great pad! Fantastic photography!
Cool paul
RSR, Ikea sells a similar low bathroom vanity.
Jen,thanks for the tip!
Is it me, or is the gray tree wallpaper in AT homes more often than the Keep Calm poster? I'm still not used to this many people putting up wallpaper, let alone so many using the same one.
I think I'd enjoy it more after the stylist left. Just not lived in enough for my taste.
I have two of those patio tables from the '90s & was thinking about doing one in a yellow. Thx for showing the result; looks good. Interesting how an owner would allow that much of a transformation. The bathroom is the only " yikes, no thanks!".
I think this place is fantastic,even the patio with the pop of yellow furniture. It's a rental and yet you went all out and hung up cool are on the wall and didn't seem to hold back.
The bedroom is actually one of my favorites. Awesome pillows!
Only thing I am not loving is the living room, brown wall color.
What a gorgeous living space.. but I'm LOVING that maxi dress as well! Even though it's not quite an apartment detail, care to share where you got it? :)
@Jukesgrrl - It's not you; it really is everywhere. But, I admit that given the opportunity (meaning $$), I'd do the same thing. I love that wallpaper and would gladly put it up anywhere if someone just put a roll on my front step.
I agree the owner and dog are very cute, but the apartment didn't give me the buzz of excitement that looking at a great space gives me.
There was a lack of visual flow. I get a sense that the owner is good at identifying and adopting current design trends, but I did not get a sense of personal style. It seemed like a product placement layout rather than what I come to Apartment Therapy for.... which is to see the inside the homes of quirky and interesting people.
BELLABEEBOO- I got the light bulbs from a store in Santa Monica.
JUKESGRRL- like i said in the interview...if something is "trendy" and you like it, who cares, get it anyway.
LAUREN C.- Thanks! The maxi dress is vintage. It's from my friends store
NONIE- The deer head is ceramic not cardboard. "The whole in the wall with the curtains" is a closet. It had no doors. The apartment is a rental, so not ideal. I had to work with a very, very small space and create a functional bedroom. The cabinet is a ad on for storage being that the apartment has little and being that I could not replace the whole sink for one with a vanity for storage.
Merisa, what is the gray in your bedroom? Your place is awesome, love it!
I actually don't see this apartment as being super colorful. At least to me, it seems like a home full of neutrals. I'm not saying that's a bad thing at all - it's actually nice to see a neutral home that doesn't have white walls.
Though, of course, that bathroom is definitely colorful! And love the shower curtain - I have it myself!
It looks a little like an anthropologist set to me.
It might be the lighting, but the brown looks too milk choclaty for me and I find it depressing in such vast amounts.
I agree with the wallpaper comments.. It has become the Brad Pitt of wallpapers!
It's all over the place including Europe. I used to live it, now sadly it makes me cringe.
But it definitely has something nice going on:)
Merisa I love it. I' d be proud to have you design for me, unique and creative. I disagree with many of the posters on the chocolate wall color. It's great and the imperfections are a style of wall plastering that I actually like. Nothing too perfect to make things seem stuffy. Love everything. My only concern... the way I sleep I can picture my foot through a window with the bed so close, lol! Oh and do you move the side table to get to your closet? Good luck on your new career!
KATHRYN1029- Thanks! It's called Granite Boulder by Behr. It's very calming.
PIDGIE- Thanks! I like the texture too! It's a very old building. I believe it was built in 1918! I do move the side table. It's on wheels! It can go behind the bed. That is the place where I can store things and keep my dirty laundry ; )
Cute place!
Off topic, holy crap I read comments on AT in a while - what is UP with the negativity? If it's not your thing, move on! Don't be mean!
*haven't read comments...
Where's the teepee from? Soo cute! I loved this tour. Lots of great details and I'm sure it will continue to evolve over time! :)
Favorite parts of this tour: 1. Pup 2. Kitchen (love everything about it) 3. Porch, love the painted floor and how cozy and welcoming it looks.
Least favorite, while I do like the brown wall, all of the furniture and accessories in the room are in the brown family, it seems to be missing a hint of color, but that's just my personal style.
Love your dress!
Furniture placement and flow are everything to me, and are the biggest problems I see in small spaces. This gal has that nailed. None of the furnishings are my style, but everything is so friendly with everything else, it has a very comfortable aura. Good job. I would have Merisa as a decorator anytime.
Thanks, too, for the good photography. It was nice to see the room proportions and flow.
Fabulous home. Bravo, girl.
Really love it!!! Great job and use of space.. Adorable dog. The only thing I don't love is the vanity... While I can really understand the reason for placing it, I think the bathroom would look much better without it. Otherwise, fabulous.
Where is the poster with the Morrissey quote from? LOVE.
I have been mulling over what to do with my micro-mini bathroom/dressing room for months..I was thinking about wallpaper but since it's a rental I decided against it and have been considering wide stripes. I wasn't sure how it would look, though..so I was very happy to see them in action here..I'm ecstatic! They look just perfect and now I can enter into my project without a second thought.
MOSESKNOWS- Wow! I'm surprised you noticed that was a Morrissey quote! I'm obsessed with him and The Smiths. It is a page from a book of The Smiths photography I have.
@ lilybeans- that's how I feel, too. The apartment seemed too "staged" for my taste. Some interesting elements, but it didn't flow for me. The desk & chair are cute, but too childish looking for practical use. The bathroom vanity with the pedestal sink poking out is too freaky. But I agree with another poster who said if you have a small bathroom may as well make it funky. Overall this is a place that shows the owner's eclectic taste, surrounding herself with things that she loves. THAT is really the most important thing. Unfortunately, it appears the decor pieces are things that were gathered for the purpose of the appearance rather than actual cherished possessions.Would I want to live there? No. I like my homes to look & feel more "lived in". However, I've seen other tours that featured homes that were a bit staged and I felt more inspired than this one did for me.
Wow, I LOVE this space. It's one of the first Apartment Therapy tours that I really connected with. Feels very personal, fun and eclectic without being overly showy or unattainable. Every single room has something that made me think "this is exactly my taste." Great job.
Love the shower curtain, windows in the bedroom, imperfect walls with that great chocolate brown, and the outdoor space. Seems like a fun place to hang out.
ECUADORIANA1- believe it or not I really do use the desk and am writing this message from it right now : ) I guess I live more edited and tidy then most people? This is just how I like things. The only thing that was "staged" in my apartment was the cheese and crackers which I had made for the photographer as a snack... which we ended up using in the shots. If I really wanted to stage things I would have taken away my vanity but I NEED it to store all my bathroom goodies. That, or a ton of money to give the landlord to remodel the bathroom! Any donators out there??? : )
KATHIEC- Use a level, lots of painter's tape and tons of patience! Good luck! It's very rewarding when it is finished.
You tell 'em, Merisa! Glad to see you and some other recently featured home owners stand up to some of these snotty commenters who just HAVE to let the world know their every preference or dislike or choice they woud make for OTHER PEOPLE'S HOMES.
@ rsr, my comments were not "snotty". I actually did like some elements to the place & said so. I also appreciate how people make work what they can. I just didn't feel inspired. I was all over in love with this place: http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/craigs-tiki-hut-house-tour-173727 because it felt more lived in & welcoming- to me. We can't always love & gush all over everything! This is why we all don't live in identical houses with identical furnishings eating the same foods as everyone else & wearing matching outfits. We all have our own preferences & tastes. There are some people who love a style like Merisa's. Some who didn't even know they'd love it until they saw it. Now they're glancing a critical eye over their own homes & thinking "Yeah, I need to change this up a bit. I liked those______ I saw on ______'s post. I should try something like that!" If we all gush & oooh & aaah over everything then we'd be lying. I wasn't intending to come off snotty. I was stating my opinion & the reasoning behind it. (Not just "I don't like it. Goodbye.") My home would be considered disheveled to most people- collections of antique medicine bottles, collection of Mariachi sombreros hanging on the wall, Navajo & Hopi rugs, matchbook collection from the 50s, medical journals from the 1800s, ceramic pigs, art supplies from my many ongoing projects... my husband collects glass marbles (to each his own! LOL!)... I occasionally invite friends & neighbors over & ask them to be "brutally frank", because after living in something so long we need a fresh pair of eyes to see it. I've taken many an opinion into consideration & redecorated or rearranged accordingly- with very pleasant & happy results! Just needed an outside opinion. If people post their homes here on AT & ONLY want to hear oooohs & aaaahs then they aren't helping anyone.
I think you did a very good job with the space you have. I think your use of the space in the bedroom is very well done. I personally would have chosen a matt finish on the paint in the living area but your space looks welcoming and fun. I love love love the abacus on the wall in the living room!!
love your space:) I have to know...where is that tree wallpaper from...I need to buy it for a bathroom...:) Thank you!
BURKE32- The wallpaper is called "woods wallpaper" and is from Cole &Son
I love the headboard and the colors in the bedroom.
I LOVE the shower curtain!
I love the freshness of your apartment, plus the bold color. And please believe me, this is not a negative comment, I designed and made the dress I wore to my high school graduation party in 1970. Except for a little difference in the print itself, your dress is the same dress I wore! Believe me I had lots of comments then too!
Loved all the touches of yellow and that cute dog is a winner.
I am not a huge fan of this space. While I like most of the elements, I do not like them combined. The living room and bathroom are quite vintage, while the bedroom is more modern. It just doesn't work in my opinion. Perhaps a better mix of vintage and new in all rooms would create a more cohesive apartment rather than creating such divided rooms.

The Washington State men's basketball team returns to action this week when they host Arizona State (Thursday at 7pm) and Arizona (Saturday at 5:30pm).
The Cougars have built a pattern of winning two games and then losing two games in conference play. Right now, Washington State (14-7 overall; 4-5 in conference) is on the losing end of things (with back-to-back losses to UCLA and Washington). Maybe that means big things for the week ahead.
Arizona State (15-7; 5-4) pounded the Cougs 71-46 in their first meeting back on January 10th. With that said, the Sun Devils are losers in two of their last three.
Arizona (12-9; 6-3) is now tied for the top spot in the Pac-10 with California. Wazzu handed the Wildcats one of their three conference losses earlier this season. The Cougars took down the Wildcats on January 8th.
Thursday's game is not televised, but we will have all the highlights on KREM 2 News and KREM. You can see Saturday's game live on FSN (we'll also have the highlights and postgame reaction on KREM 2 News and KREM.com).

"Can't their be two big MMOs out at the same time and both be financially successful?"
In a perfect world...yes. In the real world...No, Absolutely Not, and negative!
WoW fanboys will always have it out for anyone out there trying to compete with WoW and any other MMO fanboys will want nothing but WoW's destruction. Just the way it is. Blizzard has been winning the battle for years though. Warhammer, Aion, Final Fantasy, AOC, and yes...even Rift have all fallen to Wow when everyone was going on and on about them being the 'WoW Killer'. However, SW:TOR is the ONLY one that may actually do it AND has the deep pockets to withstand the first turbulent six months to a year that every new MMO has to go through until it gets it's footing. Would be nice if everyone could play nice, but I don't see that happening.

A Community prayer vigil will be held at Community Clubhouse in Crisp County on Sunday, September 14,2014 at 7pm.
February 5, 2008Lee County -- There were some fresh, young faces working the elections in Lee County Tuesday.
At Precinct 7, those faces belonged to Lee County High School Seniors Kristin Grebel and Merritt Johnson. Both are part of Lee County's Youth Poll Officer program.
You have to be at least 16, and go through a training session to volunteer at the polls election day.
Both say it's given them a better understanding of the elections process.
"I think the best thing is most teenagers don't have the opportunity to get involved with it and so most of them don't know what's going on, or the process of how people are elected," said Kristin Grebel.
"I did vote today, early this morning, and I think it's important for all the young people to get involved, because like Kristin said, they won't have a word, and by voting they can have a word in what goes on," said Merritt Johnson.The volunteers often work a long day, from 6:00AM until after the polls close at seven.
Election managers say the girls are very helpful and often have a better understanding of the election computers than some workers who have been working the polls for years.

Sometime in the past few months, I "discovered' Aussie designer Megan Park, and I found myself enamored with her designs. They are fluid, luxurious, and have an understated glamour. Above, I am wearing one of her tunics made of silk and accessorized with beautiful embroidery using dark grey beads. I will have to take a full-length selfie of this shirt - it's absolutely gorgeous and deserves to be captured in all its lilac silk and chiffon glory.
'Til next time.
And back by, erm, popular demand. Crazy dancing gifs of me. And St. Medusa handbags. And fun times. An-an- and.
That's all for now. Czech back soon!
Two pictures. Same dress. One with the magic of a Japanime app on my iPhone which has a stickie for Psy and some type of coked out hen. The Japanese do everything so well and with such flair!
"What slash whom are you wearing?" is probably the prime pregunta running through your brain. Well - probably not, but tell you I will (your Pakistani Yoda is what I aim to be today). Le dress is from Wang. Alexander, that is. Because the dress is uber long and I am of an average height, I belted the dress with a skinny belt and paired a shrunken H&M jacket on top. The shoes, barely discernible, are of a Miu-Miu nature, and in my hands I hold a NARS lip pencil along with Perrier so I can be properly hydrated.
And that is all I have for you today, folks!
This photos series was taken by my friend Cara in the heart of West Hollywood when I first moved to the LA area. I remember feeling very enamored by this magical city where dreams can come true in a split second when you least expect it. I would venture out at night and go to new places by myself where I would meet people from all walks of life. Despite the challenges I've faced making this city my home, I love living in a place where people are truly free to be as weird and creative as they want to be.
The J. Crew Collection for Summer 2013 has debuted today! Or perhaps earlier, and I wasn't on top of it. Nonetheless, above I have curated some of my favorite pieces. They are the following:
1. Thomas Mason's shirtdress
Yes, I am trés obsessed with the LWD, and want to build a collection of them. This one is timeless - pair a sweater on top and you can wear it year round (who subscribes to the "don't wear white after Labor Day" rule anymore?).
2. Collection Cafe Capri in Medallion
This is a throwback to my native land of Pakistan - the silk and embroidery are very reminiscent of saris and chemises I saw when I visited in Fall 2011.
3. Collection Capri in Embellished Floral
I love the hue of the pants along with the floral embroidery. These capris are what I imagine a proper Southern girl would wear as she runs around town for errands. I also like the look as it's paired with a chambray button down versus a sweatshirt, although I can appreciate the dichotomy of the textures and casual vs. formal aesthetic.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to unearth my J. Crew pieces for an ensemble today as I am muy inspired.
I have had these Juicy Couture trousers for an eternity - they're such a classic design they've lasted over the years. I am especially fond of the light blue piping on the sides that elongates my form. My shirt is from Anthropologie where I ogled the sequined tee for a long time deciding whether it would follow under the category of "Wear Once or Twice Before Disappearing Into the Great Abyss" or something that will last for a few seasons. I think the muted sequins allow it to fall into the latter category - I certainly don't regret the purchase.
Let's make sure to take ourselves very seriously on this Tuesday morning.
A look of a vintage nature inspired by my friend Kanlaya's handbag line, St. Medusa.
Wearing high fashion (Lanvin) and tending to some pho in the heart of K-town. This, after I spilled half a drink on said high-fashion dress. #fashionfail
These paws belong to Omnia, a beautiful European Burmese cat, who passed away in February. We had some time to prepare for her death after she was diagnosed with cancer, but when it happened, it was devastating. Many tears were shed on her behalf, and I still can't help but get choked up when I see photos of her. There's something about the unconditional love that animals provide that brings out the softie in me.
Rest in peace Omnia.

Found September 22, 2012 on The Football Fan Spot:
PLAYERS: Austin Collie, Dwight Freeney, Donnie Avery, Andrew Luck, Blaine Gabbert, Robert Mathis, Jerry Hughes
TEAMS: Indianapolis Colts, Jacksonville Jaguars
TEAMS: Indianapolis Colts, Jacksonville Jaguars
Austin Collie suffered a concussion this preseason, his 4th in the last 21 months, but it was a minor one and it looked like he would be back for week 1. He practiced before week 1, but was not cleared and the same thing happened week 2. It's very likely he just did not get clearance from a doctor. This week, he went through the same routine at the beginning of the week, but it looks like he's finally been cleared as the Colts have listed him as probable on their injury list. It's unclear what his role is, but the uncertain makes both him and Donnie Avery poor fantasy options this week. It's worth noting that, before the injury, Collie was Andrew Luck's favorite target in the preseason and the last time he had a capable quarterback, he ranked 9th in the league in yards per route run in 2010, before getting hurt. He should be owned in all leagues and monitored because he could end up being startable in the future as the #2 option on a good passing attack. Meanwhile, top pass rusher D...

TEAMS: Kansas City Chiefs, Pittsburgh Steelers
There were high hopes coming into the 2012 season for the Kansas City Chiefs. They had a solid offseason, adding Stanford Rout, Eric Winston, and Peyton Hillis to a team that already had some good talent.The fans had hopes of their first postseason win since January of 1994 but the playoffs are the furthest thing from their mind now. Fans are now focused on what needs to be done in order to prevent being next year's laughing stock on top of being this year's. Here are some changes the Chiefs need to make if they are committed to turning their franchise around.1. Stop the turnovers and start the discipline.Coming into Sunday, the Chiefs have 10 more turnovers than any other team in the NFL. In one of his last ditch efforts to save his job, Romeo Crennel has vowed to bench anyone responsible for a turnover on Monday night against Pittsburgh.While this is a good move by Crennel, it is ridiculous that it took him this long to make it. He needs to make several more like it, not only to h...

Coach Livingston knows the game of basketball as well as anyone, we are thrilled to add his knowledge to our basketball camp network.

6124 Jefferson Highway, Harahan, Louisiana 70123Meet your coaching staff
Randy Livingston
Former NBA Player, NBA Development league coach and now scouting and coaching director, Randy Livingston has made his mark in several areas in the game of basketball.
As a high school phenom and possessing all of the basketball talent needed to be an impactful NBA player Coach Livingston understands the game of basketball from every level. In his career he overcame injury after injury and continued to puruse his passion for the game. This passion has lead him to growing success as a coach and scout.Read Full Bio
"I've always felt the game rises from the bottom up,'' said Randy Livingston, the former LSU Tiger and 10-year NBA veteran who now oversees LivOn, a worldwide basketball enterprise headquartered in Hobart, Australia.
Livon is an umbrella conglomerate overseeing several entities of the sport, including coaching and scouting.
"The whole idea,'' Livingston said, "is to lift the game, and the better coaching we can develop on lower levels, the better the player later. We think it's a win-win concept for the game of basketball.''
Marcell Scott
Scott and business partners Hilton McManus and Randall Stewart co-founded the Back to Basics Basketball Academy.
Scott said he wants to show kids they can achieve their dreams.
"The only way I could show these kids what I want, is to open my own gym, he said.
McManus said boys and girls young and old are all working to help make dreams come true.
"Everyone is positive, talking and helping each other" McManus said. "The goal is to get these kids confidence not just in basketball but in life"
The positive attitudes come from children as young as 4 years old, and up to those preparing to head off to college.
Future University of Texas point guard Javan Felix said he consistently follows his practices at St. Augustine High School with a workout at Back to Basics.
"It's always open to us, anytime we want to come,? he said. "They have NBA goals, lines, regulation courts -- anything you could look for in a gym."
Former New Orleans Hornet, Carlos Wheeler is a coach at the academy and helps the eager players reach their goals by utilizing his experience.
Complete Skills: Camp is designed to help young players develop their fundamental skills and work on their athleticism. Camp will focus on offensive and defensive skill development through a competitive yet fun and encouraging environment. All players are encouraged to work had and make the most out of the opportunity to learn from an experienced and talented coaching staff. Each camper will learn skills at each position on the basketball court - our goal is for each camper to develop an all-around game!
Additional emphasis is placed on fundamental development in core basketball skills: shooting, dribbling, passing, moving without the ball, defensive stance, defensive team movement and more.
Upon arrival, all players are evaluated by the staff so that their own instructional needs can be addressed throughout the week. Players will be grouped by age and ability.

They were hit while they were down.
Forty-five hospital patients had their personal information stolen, and now two people are under arrest and accused of filing phony IRS returns to collect more than a million dollars.
Federal agents say Tanya Cullens and Kenyon Williams filed those returns using patient IDs from Florida Hospital Tampa – formerly known as University Community Hospital.
That's where Cullens used to work. The hospital has released a statement, which reads in part, "We deeply regret that this incident occurred. We remain committed to the protection of our patients' personal information."
All of the affected patients have already been notified.

The Ford Fiesta had a memorable debut at the X Games in 2009, winning gold and taking bronze in its first X Games rally competition. This year the Ford Fiesta will return to defend its title with an all-star four-man driver lineup that includes Ford rally superstar Ken Block at X Games 16 in Los Angeles, July 29 to Aug. 1.
Block will be joined by last year's trio of gold medal winner Kenny Brack, bronze medal winner Tanner Foust and Brian Deegan, who edged Block in a quarterfinal matchup in 2009.
Block, the 2005 Rally America Rookie of the Year and three-time medalist at X Games, has cultivated a tremendous following among the action sports community with his Gymkhana videos on YouTube and his push-the-limits approach to rally racing. Block partnered with Ford earlier this year and is running the Fiesta in Rally America and the Focus RS in the World Rally Championship (WRC).
Block proved that not only is the all-new Ford Fiesta fun to drive and easy to maneuver, but it is also reliably fast as he piloted the Monster World Rally Team Fiesta to victory at the 2010 Rally America 100 Acre Wood Rally. It marked the first win for Fiesta in a North American stage rally and the first for a Fiesta in Rally America competition.
Check out this video clip of Block testing the Fiesta race car.
A 60-second ad featuring Block accomplishing everyday errands, such as taking out the trash, going grocery shopping, and dropping mail in the mailbox – all in his Monster World Rally Team Fiesta will debut on ESPN July 29 2010. The ad is intended to help viewers get excited for ESPN X Games 16, which will have plenty of Fiesta-packed action as Ford looks to defend its X Games title. There is also a contest, which you can click here to visit rockitlikeblock.com to learn more about.
Also returning to X Games in a Fiesta is the man everyone will be trying to beat, 1999 Indianapolis 500 winner Kenny Brack, who made his X Games debut and won the rally competition. Brack will again race the Olsbergs Motor Sport Evolution (MSE) Fiesta representing the Swedish team that supplies Ford customer rally programs in Rally America and in European Rallycross.
ROCKSTAR Energy Drink drivers Tanner Foust and Brian Deegan also return to X Games this year in the Ford Fiesta.
Foust took his race-prepared 2010 Fiesta five-door hatchback to a bronze medal finish last year, narrowly losing in the semifinal to Brack. He continues racing the Fiesta as he runs a limited schedule in European Rallycross with Andreas Eriksson and Olsbergs MSE. Foust is an accomplished driver, having won in a wide array of motorsport series and disciplines including X Games, rally, drift, ice racing and time attack. His career is highlighted with a track record of multiple podium placements and national championships.
Foust's ROCKSTAR teammate and Moto superstar Brian Deegan finished last year's X Games with a strong fourth place finish. A 10-time medalist at the X Games, including three gold medals for Moto X Best Trick (2002, 2003 and 2005), Deegan is now in his second year in X Games rally competition.
This year the rally competition at X Games will be comprised of two competitions: Rally Car Racing and SuperRally, a European-style Rallycross, where four cars will race simultaneously against each other. The Ford foursome of Block, Brack, Deegan and Foust will drive their Fiestas in both competitions.

Go Android!!! However don't do as I did with the Nexus One....love the phone....but can't see evidence of anyone else here owning one!
Stunning Android based 'Thunder' Follows Lightning In Dell Leaks - Mobile Phone News - TrustedReviews
Android 2.2 can now get the beta of the latest version of Flash Player Adobe Labs - Adobe Flash Player 10.1 so if you want to look at any flash content Android has that going for it as well.
I've never owned either but I hate the control apple has over its products, so they're automatically off the table. I refuse to own an i-anything.
I have a Nexus One as well
Bought an iPod 12 months ago, bought a Milestone 6 months ago, haven't used the iPod since. I find the Android approach more flexible and slicker, you can have a load of icons spread across loads of home screens if you want or you can have a mix of shortcuts, widgets and other stuff. There are even iPod / Phone themes about for Android if you're that sad, mind you, there are WiMo7 themes as well.
Samsung LED Projector phones !
World's first android projector phone by Samsung - SiliconIndia
If you haven't already made your mind up to go Android, this thread should be the final nail!
iPhone 4 aerial issues?
I got nexus one from google in jan and love it especially with 2.2 froyo on there's so much customization with android which you just don't get with apple i'd go android everytime
Android 2.2 has native tethering and portable wifi hotspot feature. Used it last night for the first time and it works flawlessly.
I've got a nexus and quite happy every tom dick and harry doesn't own one its an exclusive club its the android phone thats gonna be 1st inline to all googles updates hence why i'm now sporting froyo

Christmas decorations are going up!!! SO excited!!
I understand that leaving a crazy ex behind can be hard, but seriously when you realize he is crazy and live three hours away from him you would think that would make it easier! Obviously not my roommate is in a what could possibly turn into a physically abusive relationship with a guy who she has broken up with twice, lives three hours away from and has blocked from facebook. Every time they talk she ends up yelling and then crying.
I was raised in Michigan, where you can use your hand as a map. Where Tim Allen, , Madonna, Alice Cooper, Bob Seger, Eminem, Motown, Uncle Kracker, Robin Williams, Stevie Wonder, & Kid Rock are from. We know that UP is a place, not a direction. We go "up north" or to our cabins on weekends. We know that Kalamazoo not only exists, but you drive through it to get to Climax and Hell is close by. We play Euchre, swim in lakes, hunt, fish & camp. There are three seasons; winter, deer, and construction; and first day of deer season is an official school holiday. We bake with "soda" and drink "pop".

Protein Grams per Day: You need to know how many grams of protein you need to get each day – for the rest of your life. You surgeon's office will have a specific recommendation for you. To give you an estimate, The American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS) recommends 60 to 80 grams of quality protein per day.
We recommend more. We recommend at least:
90 grams of protein per day gastric band
Here's why we recommend more protein per day than ASMBS:
- There isn't a lot of research on the protein needs of gastric bypass and gastric sleeve patients after surgery. This is particularly true for the first year after surgery.
- Because there isn't a lot of research, we believe it is much safer to risk a recommendation that is a little high than one that is a little low. A recommendation that is a little low might result in slow muscle loss throughout the body, including the heart muscle. At the same time, a recommendation of 80 grams is within the safe level recommendations of the Institute of Medicine for the general population who can absorb the protein they consume at least as well.
- For most gastric band patients, we believe the medical research on weight loss applies; a growing body of research specifically recommends 25% to 30% of calories from protein for weight loss success. Ninety grams of protein per day is 30% of calories from protein when the diet is 1200 calories per day, and we anticipate that most band patients will consume 1200 calories or more.
- It is much easier to figure out whether you are getting 90 grams of protein than it is to figure out whether you are getting 30% of your calories from protein.
How do I get in 80 grams of quality protein (90 grams for band patients) per day?
It is important to record your protein intake over the course of every day. An easy way to do this is with a simple sheet of paper that has 31 lines on your refrigerator, one line for each day of a month. Make a note every time you get in protein, and add up the total at the end of each day.
Know how much quality protein is in foods. Many foods have 7 grams of protein per unit or per ounce. Examples:
7 grams of protein per ounce of beef, chicken, pork, fish
(1 ounce after cooking and shrinking)
(a common serving size is 3 ounces)
Skim milk has 1 gram per ounce of milk, so 8 grams per cup (almost 7)
Other dairy products will show the grams of protein on the label.
If you do a little arithmetic, you can see that getting enough protein from foods isn't so easy. If you want 80 grams of quality protein, here are the amounts of one food you would need per day:
|How much of this food
|To get 80 grams of protein
|Beef, Pork, Chicken or Fish
|12 ounces after cooking,
(almost a pound before cooking)
|12 eggs
|10 cups of milk
Clearly you can combine some of each, but with much-reduced capacity after surgery, it isn't easy.
That's how protein supplements can help. One scoop of a high quality supplement powder typically provides about 20 grams of protein depending on the scoop size. If you mix the scoop of protein into 8 ounces of skim milk, that increases the total protein to about 28 grams.
Track your protein. Here's a free tool you will find as valuable as anything else you find on this website – IF you use it: a printable page that helps you track your protein.
When you track it, you will do it. Just download and print copies of the UNJURY Easy Protein Tracker (click here) and tape on your refrigerator. Start today! When you track it, you will do it.

Even in this climate of constant change and innovation, there are two things we know about today's consumers: they want real-time information, and they're relying more and more on their phones. Additionally, a segment of the market does not plan ahead.
Jerry Nettuno, founder of Schedulicity.
"Always try to make it easier to let guests do business with you," advises Group 3 Marketing's Bart Foreman. "There's someone out in your community right now who needs a service. You have open chairs." The idea is to leverage technology to connect those dots. Foreman's solution is a relatively simple web-based application called FillMyChairs that can complement an online booking system or stand alone:
Your client Susan goes to your website from her phone or computer and clicks on your "Open Appointments" button, which pulls up a screen listing today's available slots along with the stylist and potential service. Susan proceeds to your online booking section if you offer that, or she calls the salon to book the opening of her choice.
Throughout the day, your front desk people update the page to reflect both cancellations and filled appointments. Before leaving for the night, they make a final update so that clients going online at 2 a.m. will have the information.
One salon currently using the application, Taylor Stevens Salon and Spa in Algonquin, Illinois, reports that clients have bookmarked the salon's Open Appointments page. Notes Foreman, "When we were testing this, 80 percent of clients told us, 'I do not want a daily e-mail, but I'd love to know what's available.'"
That statistic makes sense at Super
Salon, which has developed a phone app for a check-in system aimed at walk-in clients and recently rolled out by Great Clips, with other chains lining up for test marketing:
Susan's 4 p.m. meeting was canceled, and she could really use a quick trim and highlights. She checks her phone, your website or your Facebook page to see the wait times at all of your locations. After choosing a location, she declines to request a specific stylist and proceeds to screens that ask her to select a service, estimate her arrival time and create a virtual check-in ticket. At the salon meanwhile, Susan's first name and last initial appear on a "Who's Next" board so that staff and clients can check the order of the next 10 or so appointments.
