Sister Mary and Take Your Top Off cocktails.
It did. It's the door just to the left of Central Kitchen, in the bustle of Central Square. As you head up the stairs you may experience deja vu — have we been here before to see DJs and drink gasoline-strong vodka sodas, packed like sardines in the tiny lounge dubbed the Enormous Room? Well, you wouldn't recognize the space. Two years ago owner Gary Strack, who also runs Central Kitchen, which is downstairs, and Firebrand Saints in Kendall Square, closed the Enormous Room and reopened as Brick & Mortar a few months later. The place has a serious bar program, and a small but delicious menu. Classic rock plays on speakers, communal high tops line the walls, and an elegant, C-shaped, hammered-copper bar is the crown jewel, sitting at the rear of the narrow, exposed-brick room.

Sorcerer's Apprentice
Well I'm not actually being apprenticed, mostly self taught, though I do plan on becoming just as good as my AV guild lead, Kwonnie, on Celestial Hills. Steadily Kassim is becoming my main and I've been exclusively PVPing on him as well. Although I sought to acquire PVE Nightforge on Usako, I've switched the objective to Kassim and am currently in process to make him Buzzsaw.
I want to become just as good, if not better, than K-won. So here's to the long journey.

Abortion Support Network (ASN) is a volunteer-run charity that provides financial assistance, accommodation in volunteer homes, and confidential, non-judgmental information to women in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland who are travelling to England to access a safe and legal abortion. Funding is available on a case by case basis depending on circumstance and availability of funding. Accommodation for women is offered as necessary, either the night before or after a procedure or, in the case of later abortion, the night during a procedure.
We can also help women travelling from the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man, and can provide information to any woman travelling to England for an abortion.

September 2011 was a daunting month for reproductive rights activists here in AZ. Thanks to new legislation, folks seeking abortions now have to jump through all sorts of hoops. These hoops especially hit poor persons in rural communities making it virtually impossible to gain abortion access.
It's time to ACT, which is exactly why a group of radical folks in Phoenix and Tucson are currently collaborating on creating an abortion fund of sorts to help with housing those coming from afar, to help with financing abortions, etc.

Check out the link for more disturbing information as to one more instance of the great state of Arizona interfering with/ruining the lives of people of color; and in this case, the women in those communities.

A Bi-Continental Vocation
Reflections by Megan McMurtry, who taught Hebrew at Renk in July 2006. A graduate of Duke Divinity School, she is studying Hebrew Bible at Vanderbilt University
As a relatively new teacher, I have found one of my biggest frustrations to be with students who take for granted the availability of education. To be honest, at times I have done so myself. But in Sudan, virtually everyone I have encountered views education -- any education -- as a precious commodity. Therefore they are willing to make extra sacrifices in order to acquire it (as if their ordinary life did not already involve sacrifices on a daily basis!). The students at Renk Theological College have left their families and villages and traveled great distances -- as much as three weeks overland and on the Nile. They study by candle light and sometimes by flashlight. At first I thought it comical that they would copy down every word or example I wrote on the board with furious enthusiasm. Then I realized that this was a beautiful expression of their intense desire to learn and their gratitude for the opportunity to study.
I first went to Sudan in January 2005, at a time when I was finishing my Master's work at Duke Divinity School and wrestling with uncertainty about the future. I knew what I wanted to do: I loved studying Hebrew and Old Testament, I loved teaching, and I felt a moral obligation to use the knowledge I had acquired for the benefit of the church. Yet I wondered if that was what I was needed for; my struggle lay in the fact that in the U.S., there is a surplus of people who can teach biblical languages and texts. When Ellen Davis returned from her own first trip to Sudan in 2004, I happened to overhear her telling a colleague about her vision for an ongoing teaching partnership with Renk Theological College (at that time, Renk Bible School). She spoke of the Sudanis' desire to learn biblical languages and the lack of teachers available for them. It was as though a lightening bolt had struck me: this was work I wanted to do, and for which there was a real need! So six months later I travelled to Sudan with Anna Brawley of Chicago; we were the first team of Visiting (Hebrew) Teachers in the Renk Program.
Our two weeks in Sudan were a momentous time for both the students and me. The Peace Accords between the North and the South were signed while we were there. In the midst of their joy and jubilation at the prospect of peace, the students repeatedly expressed their enthusiasm for the various avenues of education now available to them: primary and secondary schools for the children, the theological college for themselves. Frequently I heard the stunning statement: "Education is even more important to us than peace; without education we can never be free." Having grown up in the American education system with parents who are educators, and being at the start of my own career as an educator, I was deeply moved and humbled.
When the time came for me to leave Sudan, I felt that I was leaving home, that I now belonged there. In the months following my return to the U.S., I reflected on how this trip might fit into the "big picture" of my life: what would Sudan mean for my own future? I knew then that I would return whenever I could -- not only to share my knowledge, but equally to learn. We Americans have been blessed by relative domestic peace, and we have benefited from our long established educational system. Yet through their endurance, courage, and perseverance, the Sudanese have developed a different type of education, and it is valuable to both the academy and the church. They have insight into the life of ancient Israel and the culture of the Bible, which western academics like me struggle to see through our modern (and perhaps distorted) lenses. They also have a great deal to teach the western church about the nature of Christianity and the role of the church in the world.
Already I have returned for a second summer session at Renk Theological College; I expect to be there again in Summer 2009. And beyond that, I look forward to developing the bi-continental vocation I have discovered, creating opportunities for myself and others to both teach and learn, encouraging dialogue for the mutual benefit of the U.S. and Sudan.

The Fall Cure: Week 8 - Throwing a Party
Quote of the Day: ElizabethR
"People on this blog have good advice. I wish I had thought to come here first before hiring my decorator. "
Welcome to the final stretch. This weekend is the big reveal and I hope that you all are in a good place bringing things in for a landing (even if you're not entirely done). In our house, we seem to have finally solved our mouse problem with steel wool (see the movie ;-)), and we've pretty much done all our fall clearing out and renesting for winter. This Saturday we are celebrating by inviting friends over for dinner and will share our pics with you.
In this post I want particularly to poll you and see how splitting up the Cure into four cities (or areas) worked for you. It is particularly exciting to me to be able to get more and more local with Cures and ultimately use the meetup format to organize a few gatherings offline at which to share ideas and solutions...
A sunny day in I L'Aria's living room. We're not sure she's IN this Cure, but it's nice to have Italian vistors.
This week is all about getting ready.I didn't plan too many specific things for the final week so that those finishing up could take advantage of a little extra time. The main thing is to close up your project (as much as you can), clean up and get yourself ready for guests of some sort.
Of course, preparing for guests can be a big job. Anytime we have guests over we always end up turning the house upside down and doing things that we'd not done in awhile or meant to do and hadn't gotten around to yet. All our small improvements happen this way.
Of course, you've already been working for a number of weeks, so the real challenge here is more in the stopping than starting.
I know that a number of you are working on BIG projects that won't stop this week. What I recommend to all of you, however, is that you clean up as best you can so that this week - if nothing else - is a breather. Inviting some friends over - keep it casual! - is still a good idea, and you may find yourself surprised at how interested and impressed your friends will be, even if you're not entirely done. Remember, most people don't spend this much time on their home!
Info:The Cure posts will go up twice a week on Mondays and Thursdays (or sometimes Friday or Saturday), allowing for plenty of comment space. We will be pulling comments and pics to the front page post each week and everyone is urged to take pics and post them to this great Flickr pool or simply tag them with "apartmenttherapycure." See our old pics here too.
The Fall Cure is live in all four of our Home city sites:
• Chicago & their Flickr group
• San Francisco & their Flickr group
• Los Angeles & their Flickr Group
• New York & our Flickr group
• Green Home & their Flickr Group
Please choose the site nearest your home to join, but feel free to browse on all!

I wound up envious of those people who had the time to participate in all four!
I agree, having people over is a great motivator. We had a small gathering over the weekend and I cleared things away that had been sitting out for months on end. Not only did it feel great to hear our guests compliment us on our place, it was great to start the week off in a clutter free apartment. Ahhhh.
Hm, how about a central internet destination along with regional meetups? Although I liked the intimacy of the SF hub, it felt a little lonely over there at times. With a bit more traffic, I'd love it.
finally having a decent picture of mine on this site was worth all the hard work on that bathroom! we are really enjoying it.
my biggest projects still to do are: paint the dining room, empty the outbox(s), and hang the art work.
we are having a party on the 9th, i think i will make it...
I do like having a smaller group for cure conversations, so that you can be more involved and more easily give advice...but I noticed some other cities were a bit lonely at times...which is why I stuck with NY even though I live closer to Chicago...
This was a fun cure...I really enjoyed being part of the group, it was very motivating...
I missed the participation of people in other regions and couldn't always find the other groups. I stayed with the New York group since I do live in the state of New York, although this upstate area is culturally much more like the Middle West than like NYC.
You New Yorkers got a manageable group... those of us in the Southwest started with a group that wasn't large enough to support the process and then lost participants to rain-related flooding. Our Cure threads remained pretty much empty the entire time, though there was more conversation on the Flickr group.
My big regret of this Cure was that I was a good sport and tried to participate in Los Angeles rather than sticking to San Francisco. The Los Angelenos are lovely people with lovely homes, but the proximity of our cities on the map does not give us much in common.
I'm sorry.. I bailed!
As Wende said, I had to drop out due to unexpected rain related flooding and subsequent move out. I'm now in a new apartment that has a totally new set of problems to address. Next time, I promise!
I could use a little encouragement though. I am allowed to paint (here's the catch.. if I paint it back) so I am still debating whether I paint or not. I may only be in this apartment for a year but the off white walls are depressing me. I miss my smallest coolest apartment. :(
So.. should I paint or shouldn't I?
go for the paint. you need some pampering.
sarah mac - the bathroom looks amazing!
sarah mac, beautiful bathroom! can you tell me where you bought the cabinet/shelf? love it.
As is no news to anyone, I participated on the NY thread and the SF thread. And I tried to keep up with all the blogs--which unfortunately wasn't hard to do as people seemed to slow down in the blogging about two weeks ago.
I didn't have the sense of participation and "group effort" though. I didn't get to re-draw anyone's floor plan. I didn't go shopping for anyone (ie looking on-line for light fixtures and drapes and so on). But that's OK: I bit off a huge chunk re-doing the dining room and probably didn't have the time.
The cure was quite fragmented with local threads, the NY thread (which, really, is "home" no matter where I live) and the blogs--and flickr. Too much navigation from place to place...and no sense of belonging anywhere which is not what you intended.
I did, however, comment when requested, gave my 2cents and so on when requested on the SF thread--I hope that was helpful--but when independent discussions started to happen on flickr I had to draw the line. That was just too much to keep up with.
I have to say I love the little AT Cure blog community, though. The folks who made the rounds on the blogs kept me encouraged and motivated and inspired--and I thank you.
Thanks to you too Maxwell and crew. There's so much that would not have got done without the support of your book, ideas and web-site.
I tried "curing" a bit on my own over the summer and just spun my wheels. Without being able to really go for advice and especially--encouragement--it was just a frustration.
I'm really glad I stumbled into this world.
(That's for Pixie).
it was a bit hairy keeping up with people in all 4 cities. given how i'm not from any of them, technically belong to chicago (since i'm in toronto), the NY is the most active, i tried to keep track of all 4.
then again, i didn't do the cure :P just read and cheered.
I kept wondering how you did it!
I enjoyed the cure, though family issues and some major deadlines blocked me about halfway. I have to agree with Alana that the cure -- even in a particular city -- felt really fragmented. I think it would be better to keep the discussion to either AT or Flickr, not both, and I never found the time to go to individuals' blogs. Personally, I think it would be easier to keep track of a single destination for conversation (and for me, that would probably be AT).
i participated in both the NYC and Green cures, and found the Green group to be smaller but more cohesive somehow. That said, I really appreciated both communities and thank you all for your advice!
By the way, I have decided *not* to build the loft, but I will be painting my floors next weekend and have settled on Benjamin Moore's "Santa Monica Blue," although I am still trying to figure out the most eco-sensitive way to paint a floor. (Hint, hint).
Thanks AT!
I, too, found the Cure really fragmented this time, and not as much fun, nor as much of a community -- I really missed the sense of community that we got in the last Fall Cure. As wig3000 said, it got really lonely over in the Chicago Cure. I wish there had been more participation on the AT site, in whichever city one had to ally oneself -- I just couldn't even try to keep up with conversations behind the scenes on Flickr.
I really appreciated our little blog community over on blogger. That was where I found the most support, and encouragement, and ideas, this time.
I strongly preferred the One Big Cure approach that we had last fall. Sure the threads got long and a bit unwieldy at times, but people were participating, and there was a connection between those people. There was connection this time, too, but it wasn't as easy to achieve.
All that being said, I still want to underline that I *so* appreciate being able to participate in an online cure. Working at the same tasks with so many different people, who have different tastes and different ideas, is stimulating and inspiring. I've cured on my own, and I've cured with a group -- and the Group Cure wins, hands down.
Thanks, Maxwell, for giving us this opportunity. Thanks, everyone, for sharing.
I agree with wig3000, the SF Cure was a little empty sometimes, so I did a little of both, SF and NY. Although I'm the closest to San Fransisco, I don't consider SF to be part of the "Northwest". But I guess if there was a Northwest thread, it would have been even emptier! :)
I agree with others that having to go back and forth from Flickr to here makes things difficult and hard to keep track of. I wish there was one central location that was more like a forum -- everyone could post their own threads and put pictures right in the posts, and other people could comment with replies in others threads in addition to a central thread or several central threads. I do agree that the opportunity to have this online community to connect with has been invaluable, thank you!
Well, back to curing: I've photos up at flickr of our new faucet set.
This project was SO gratifying. The husband and I did it together...and that was really nice. Usually, I just charge ahead and do things on my own. But plumbing--well now, that's a guy thing, I guess.
If you want, you can read about it all here:
Re the survey - I've found it a bit too fragmented this cure. I haven't been too hot on posting here, partly through exhaustion, but also because the time difference means that I invariably pitch up at the end of interesting conversations and have nothing useful to add. I have found it easiest to comment on blogs and got so behind on the flickr pool that I gave up a few weeks ago. I have missed the input of a few cure 'stars' who wre siphoned off to other regional groups.
All in all, I think this cure could be a warning of things to come. As Alana and SCBeth have pointed out, conversations are starting on flickr and blogs in addition to all the cure groups. I for one vote to bring it all back to a central pool for the spring cure.
Thats great. Good job everyone. Chocovanillakiwi...thats me and my master bedroom. Everyone's house looks wonderful. I can't wait to see more pictures
This week-end I bought new lamps for my bedroom, painted the hall, kitchen, living room and bathroom and installed a new lighting fixture in the hall. Phew! I also ordered lampshades for my new lamps and pretty door knobs for my 3 walk-in closets, all on sale from Restauration Hardware. My mom is giving me a new stainless steel oven hood (yay!) as a houseewarming present, so I need to choose it and then install it instead of the cheap, white eyesore that came with my loft when I bought it. This means I'll be able to have the backsplash installed, when I get the cash to do it. PLUS my granny told me she's going to give me the money to buy new curtains as a housewarming present. I'm so lucky!
I can't believe it's already week 8. I didn't do enough in the office and bedroom areas (I need a bigger budget for that) since what's needed there is more furniture), but my kitchen, living room, landing strip area and bathroom are looking fantastic.
I'm not having a party (there's just no time, I'll do it in December) but I'll make sure to do a « before and after » album on Flickr. Now I may do a one room remedy of each room, at my own pace, until the next cure.
This cure has done wonders for my home and for my spirits. Thanks for the ride, y'all.
I was technically over in the Green Cure. But sometimes it seemed like I was all alone over there. It was great that photos of my place were posted all the time, but definitely lonely in that I would have liked to get more ideas from seeing additional photos from others. Midway through I started looking at some of the other Flickr pools so I could get more inspiration... I think it would have been less fragmented to just have one big group.
Laura, I would paint but go with very light colors, like icy blue or dried grass green and trim it in brilliant white--you may just change your landlord's mind about having to paint it back if it turns out non-threateningly beautiful.
Laura -- Paint, but start with whatever part of the apartment bugs you most in white. That way, if painting seems too onerous to continue (much less do again in a year!), you've already solved the biggest problem and can stop happily.
I got a lot done during this cure, even though I didn't keep to the same chronological steps mentioned in the AT book. Last night I picked up a gallon of BM's cloud nine for the LR which I will do this week. I do plan on having a small dinner by week's end.
I haven't had as much time to put up stuff on flckr, but will do so once later this week.
The cure has been really good for me!
I like having the individual communities, it keeps the threads from being super long so it's easy to browse other cities cures, and also I think makes for a more close knit bunch.
I still have much to do in the office (decluttering and editing) and bathroom areas (decorating and painting) but overall I'm really happy with my cure. I've gotten more done in the past few weeks than I have in the 2 yrs I've lived in my apt. I've fallen off on posting pictures for some reason, but I've really made so much progress and have enjoyed seeing everyone else's spaces and accomplishments. I especially love how in the before and afters you can see how alot of spaces have retained their essential essence but in a nicer more styled up way. Good job everyone!
I too have slacked off with posting pictures on flickr. I found the seperate city-cure to be a little confusing at first, especially in trying to learn and remember everyone's names (since I'm a newbie and this is my first cure). I would forget to check the other cities cure posts and then found it confusing when a new person (from another city) posted here. I found myself asking "wait, was this person here before?" a lot. Not sure if its just me but I found conversation easier on flickr because you can post specific questions and have people answer. I find it a little trickier to ask questions and get answers on this thread. I also didn't get to check many blogs because I kept forgetting who was blogging and who wasn't! I have enjoyed watching other's progress however, even when I was frustrated or at a standstill with some of my own projects.
I will not be finishing on time. There is still a lot of work I want to do to the bedroom and even rooms that I thought I would finish (living room, office) still need odds and ends. I ordered a few things online that I have been waiting for (a chair from ebay that I want to match carpet to- purchased 3 weeks ago, still waiting for it to come. also my curtains that got lost in the mail 2 weeks ago) and that has definitely held me up. As I said before, I have an out-of-town friend coming in November so I'm working to be finished by then. This has been really fun to do and I'm glad I could work on things in my new apartment alongside everyone! Congrats to everyone finishing on time :)
I, too, found it difficult to navigate between discussions on flickr and AT. A centralized forum might be easier to follow.
My music room cure is on the upswing, finally. We painted last weekend- -a cinnamon-y brown on the main wall and "bagel," a buttery yellow, on the others. Nobody mentioned how much physical labor is involved in painting-- I'm still sore! But the walls look great.
Clearing out the furniture for painting made us realize that we have way too much stuff crammed in that space. We're going to try getting rid of my computer and the giant plywood table to open things up. This is a big step, and strikes me as what the cure is all about.
What's really exciting is stopping the "taking things apart" phase and starting the "putting things together" phase. New shelves go up tonight; then we can repatriate all the stuff that's been camped in the living room all week.
We're a little behind on the cure schedule, but will post pix soon, and plan to have a music party on the 17th to celebrate.
Congratulations to everyone for your curing achievements! Even though I haven't been super involved with the online group, it is definitely helpful to know that you all are out there, and I love seeing the progress on everyone's homes.
OOps I misunderstood the poll. It was a GREAT experience for me overall but I wouldn't mind having all the cities together. I'm in NYC and have a friend who did it in LA and would have been nice to have her stuff in the same pool as mine.
Please don't laugh, but now that we are almost at the end, I finally found my copy of The Book. Apartment Therapy, I mean.
I've felt overwhelmed by the amount of stuff that needs to be done, but this afternoon I realized that a lot of it has nothing to do with the cure and I am getting close to finishing the things that are part of the cure. Still remaining: rearrange a few things in my bedroom; assemble a console table for the living room; hang pictures (very large and heavy) in the dining room; install GFI receptacle in the bathroom.
Some accessories, such as the pillows we discussed, may not be here by the end of the week, but will arrive soon after. Cabinet doors that need to be painted may or may not get done this week. Three of them can be painted with brush and roller, but two are louvered and need to be sprayed. The weather will be perfect for that tomorrow, while I'll be at work, so I'm hoping for decent weather on Friday.
I'm almost done with my cure and helped a friend tonight do some work on her bedroom. When I left she got all teary and said she just needed some help and couldn't believe how much we accomplished in one night - we put up a shelf, fixed a dresser, cleaned out all the boxes under her bed and put everything into boxes so she could find them in her closet. Amazing how your space can affect you!
Okay. Finally I have progress AND pictures!
The living room:
Painted red, reorganized, books and DVD's severely cut down and put away, new coffee table, new TV and technology. There's more to do still - adding a blik graphic to the big red space in the wall, mounting the big speakers on the wall, etc. But I'm already really happy with it.
The alcove, FINISHED:
We finally added shelves (2 dollars each! In the IKEA kids section!) and placemats and a dining area. I can't tell you how great it feels to be able to have a place to eat. And we replaced the old overhead light with a chandelier and added a dimmer switch to create mood. MAJOR props to Maxwell and the book for that tip. I especially love how the chalk and eraser stay on the table for anyone to draw.
Finally, the bedroom:
Painted it a lovely blue that matched the painting. While I like how the red sheets go, we're going to replace them with blue or black or a pattern that compliments the painting, and then keep the green. Orange and wrought-iron accents, shelves, and sconces to follow. Lots of candles. Very Moulin Rouge.
I'm so excited about where we are. And I love how it's different than what I expected. I thought this would be a sleek modern design, but it's turned into a colorful explosion that soothes, relaxes, and impresses. I love it. Love it love it love it. And since we pushed our housewarming a week, we have time to spruce up the bathroom!
We finally added shelves (2 dollars each! In the IKEA kids section!) and placemats and a dining area.
I have the same placemats on my breakfast table. My table is the Mella table from Ikea, with Balser chairs.
Wow Marcelo - amazing work and inspiring!
Where'd you get the dining table and chairs? I have no real space for such, but something like that could work esp since the table and chairs are tall and I might put it next to my windows, where I could watch the dogs watching the Starbucks for their humans to reappear across the street.
Marcelo - Congrats! Everything looks so great and I can't believe how much you have accomplished :)
I cleaned off my desk the other night (again) and found a bunch of to-do lists. I brought them all with me to work today to cross off things that are finished and combine into a big "still to-do" list. One of the lists was the one boyfriend and I made the first night we started the cure! I didn't realize I had done so much but I was able to cross off 75% of the things on my list. I feel really good right now :)
Chairs and table were from IKEA. We live 2 blocks away from one and our friend works there and occasionally gives us his discount on big items, so our stuff is disproportionately from there.
It seemed at first that we were behind. Painting seemed a long ways away, until we just up and made time for it. It's like the place transformed overnight.
Congratulations Marcelo!
Everything looks great.
Teatronynj--it is amazing how much your space affects you. I'm so glad your friend got your help.
I have finally, finally reassembled the computer and the desk in the dining room. No more browsing in the basement beneath the bathroom pipes!
I still want to paint my long pine shelves, then I'll take some photos and post the Big Transformation.
It'll be interesting to hang out in this room and see if I like it so wan and pale.
Well, since this was my first cure I thought it was absolutely fantastic! I do like that there were separate regions of the cure, though I was a little uncertain of if I should have participated in all of them or just my region.
But I agree with others in that it got to be a bit much keeping with AT, Flickr, and individual blogs. And then of course actually DOING the cure, haha!
I feel like I spent a lot of time thinking and planning and budgeting and detailing and reaching out online than I did actually curing. I feel accomplished with what I got done, but I also feel that I'm nowhere near finished.
I think I may just go ahead and wrap up loose ends for now and everything else that I wanted to do can be incorporated in the next cure. And things like "making curtains" can be moved into my "start sewing more" project. :)
i'm chiming in with the group that says let's all be one big cure happy family. i only participated in the la cure this time and it was sweet but i missed the vaguely combative, opinionated, loud, dysFUNctionality of having everyone participate together (what can i say? you can take the girl out of ny but not the ny out of the girl). i'm very happy with what i got done (thanks for the thumbs up laure!) and with the fact that there's only the hallway and closets left to do (not sure if i can wait til spring though). from the pix i saw, everyone got a lot accomplished.
hey maxwell, thanks as always for being the pied piper!
I have a before and after posted, if anyone wants to see.
And there's more on the blog, too. Just click my name and follow the link.
I am a 90% sort of person. I'll get a job about 90% complete, tire of it, and then just quit. As I mentioned, I have three shelves left to paint and that's IT, the dining room will be as "done" as I'd planned to make it.
But the mere thought of putting on my painting shirt again makes me want to scream and start throwing paint brushes at the wall.
I would love to see more pictures next time. Maybe a tour with ten before and ten after pictures.
even though I was a bad cure-er (i.e. didn't really follow the process or keep up), I liked the one big cure better too--cure-ing has no bounds!
That said, I am going to plan a party...a small get together which should encourage me to finally go through my outbox and do something with the stuff.
I didn't have weekend plans--and now I do--to finally do some of those projects I didn't have time for in October!
I finally added a few pictures. Still needs a lot of work, but you can see the temporary shades, the new table, and a different layout. Also pictures from Home Depot of the rug I'm thinking of getting -- opinions please!
(last 3 rows are new)
Michelle--I left you a comment on flickr about the rug. I don't like the couch facing the kitchen. It looks sort of lost.
I missed the boat on this Cure. When does the next one start?
Last year, Maxwell (or another AT writer) posted some tips about how to take good photos of interiors. I've been searching the site for this, but can't find it. Can anyone help?
Alana -- I completely agree about the couch facing the kitchen, the focal point ends up being the front door which is just so boring. That's what made me realize that facing the fireplace was so important -- it really is the focal point of the room.
Thanks for the comment!
Does anyone know why my 4 pictures I tagged with apartmenttherapycure aren't showing up in the pool? I only have 31 pics tagged to it total, so I don't think that's the problem...
Michelle - I think you need to click "send to group" to get them showing up in the pool.
I'm answering my own question here, but thought it might be useful to everyone. The post on how to take good photos of your apartment is here:
Zooza, thank you! I was wondering the same thing :)
Thanks for that link, Zooza.
I'll have the car this weekend, so that's when I'm planning to finally clear out as much of the Outbox as I can and generally tidy things up for a photoshoot. (I hope).
Hi there, I'm calling out for a little help. This cure has helped me finally inject some color into my space and my few baby steps have been exciting! I was gifted a larger bright item (a curtain) from a co-cureist (how cool is that??) and am starting to feel overwhelmed. It reminded me so much of some of the case studies discussed in the cure book! When I read about people panicking over what seemed like small obvious changes I felt so superior but am now freaking out. Anyone want to have a look and give your opinion on scary pinkness?
I also just want to say that I had never heard of the book or cure until one week before this fall one from a friend and have found it incredibly life-changing. I am lucky to be part of this supportive and creative community and have found you all so inspiring. Before this I felt kind of fine with my all-white apartment with a few neutral accents here and there. I never really thought about the fact that I never had friends over and actually felt uncomfortable when others were in my space. I have started to look at my home environment in a different way. Thanks to all of you!
The pink is fabulous DangerDorge.
That mirror over the sofa? Paint that deep dark brown. And bring the sconces in to flank it better. They'll be more related that way--and the pink curtains reflected in that mirror will be wonderful.
ok, in light of the impending end of the Cure which has unfortunately coincided with a rediculously busy last couple of weeks for me...I have decided that my cure was on for 6 weeks and now will be off for 6 weeks, until the end of the month, when I will resume to "finish"/be aided monetarilly by asking for furniture for Christmas...how does that sound?
Congrats again to everyone and all we accomplished. It was really great to participate this year...I'm looking forward to the Spring Cure already...
i need to paint my room - maybe i'll paint it green - looks like a great color.

Battling Alex "Kanu7" Millar in an epic quarterfinal that took up most of the day yesterday, Haxton had to come back from a major deficit to move forward in his debut event as a Team PokerStars Online pro.
Haxton said in advance of the match he expected a long one and he was right as Millar matched him move for move for most of the day.
Haxton surged to an early $60k lead by around hand 1,000 but by hand 2,000 Millar had taken a similar lead.
When they reached 3,000 hands the blinds were doubled, as per Showdown rules, and Haxton had whittled Kanu7's lead down to about $40k.
Bigger and bigger pots changed hands over the next couple of hours as Haxton cut into Millar's lead before taking control late and surging to the victory in hand 3,881.
All told the two battled for over 17 hours and agreed the match could have gone either way:
- Kanu7: congrats gg
- Ike Haxton: thanks
- Ike Haxton: gg
- Ike Haxton: crazy match
- Kanu7: yeah
- Kanu7: win the QQ vs AK 1 time ffs
- Ike Haxton: lol
- Ike Haxton: indeed
- Kanu7: can't remember the last time i was more card dead than the last couple of hours as well :(
- Kanu7: ah well, shame someone has to lose such an epic match but best of luck for the rest of the tourney
- Ike Haxton: yeah, i believe it
- Ike Haxton: it really felt that way
- Ike Haxton: thanks, you played really well
Haxton Meets Sulsky in Semis; Cates, Galfond On Deck
Now that Haxton has advanced he'll have to switch his attention to Ben "Sauce123" Sulsky, his opponent in the next round.
Sulsky had a much quicker go of it in his quarterfinal on Saturday, leading Tobias "KTPOKP" Kuder wire to wire and busting him in less than six hours.
Four more heavy hitters are still to hit the tables this week on the other side of the bracket including high-stakes heroes Dan Cates and Phil Galfond.
Action picks up again on Tuesday with the remainder of the schedule as follows:
- 30 October: Alexander 'Sussie Smith' Roumeliotis vs Dan 'w00ki3z.' Cates
- 31 October: Phil 'mrsweets28' Galfond vs Ben 'ben86' Tollerene
- 2 November: Haxton vs. Sulsky
- 3 November: Semi-final 2
- 4 November: The All Star Showdown final
For a full recap of all the action over the weekend, check the PokerStars blog.
The eight-person heads-up event has a $100k buy-in with action over four tables at once.
The ultimate winner will take home over $500k. More info on the structure of the challenge here.

I hurt my flexor hallucis longus tendon two months ago & my stretching excercises hurt. Should I continue?
Question: I badly hurt my Flexor Hallucis longus tendon two months ago, and dorsiflexion still hurts badly. I just started PT, and my foot only comes up 80 degrees on it's own. Even the mild stretches they assigned me hurt, but not until a few hours after I've done them. MRI/Xrays are normal. Should I keep doing them? Why do they hurt so much?
Answer: Thank-you for your question. The muscle strain should have healed by now. It sounds like you have some muscle shortening of the FHL and probably the calf as well. This is probably due to having spent prolonged time in a boot to allow healing? At the moment, if the stretches are hurting afterwards that is possibly a good sign. You may want to discuss with your MD some medication support to help you tolerate treatment. I would also expect your PT regiment to include: massage, trigger point dry needling, sub-talar joint mobilization and possible taping to prevent further stressing of the tendon.
I have severe tennis elbow and I don't play tennis. Can you help?
Question: I have severe tennis elbow and I don't play tennis. Can you help? I also have sacroiliitis. Help, I am in pain constantly.
Answer: Thanks for the question. We treat tennis elbow. You will need a very specific exercise program to help restore your elbow function. You may also benefit from the "hands-on" application of massage, taping, joint mobilization and trigger point dry needling. It is not uncommon to have this condition and not play tennis. Click here for more information on the condition and its treatment.
We also treat sacroilitis. This condition normally has a significant lumbar component as well. We will want to assess your Lumbar, hip, and sacro-iliac joint function.

I Have Pain on the Outside of My Leg. What's Happening?
Question: I am a runner with pain/discomfort just in my right leg, from the outside of my knee up to my hip. The majority of the pain is located on my hip. The discomfort is mostly during and immediately after running or doing a lot of walking around.
This pain started seemingly out of the blue about a month and a half ago while I was tapering for a marathon. I was able to run the marathon (1 month ago) successfully, but with a lot of pain and major hip soreness during and afterwords. Since then, my running has been extremely minimal as I've been trying to rest my hip, but it doesn't seem to be improving at all. About every week and a half I go on a "test run" to see how I feel, and the pain usually kicks in after about a mile.
I'm a 23 year old female and I've been running consistently for about 5 years. This is my first major running injury. Please help! I miss running!
Answer: Thank you for your question. Sorry you're not able to run – let's get you back.
The pain that you are describing sounds consistent with either hip bursitis or Iliotibial Band Syndrome(ITBS). These conditions are different but related. The bursitis is caused by rubbing of the ITB against the hip bone. The ITBS is inflammation of this structure where it attaches to the knee. It may be that you have a little of both. Both these conditions are caused by tension or tightness of the ITB. This often comes on with a loss of gluteal control and/or hip flexor tightness. This muscle pattern is common in runners who literally "run their butts off". Treatment will involve restoring good muscle control around your hip.
You may also benefit from some "hands-on" treatment, specifically Trigger Point Dry Needling can help significantly with this condition. As you have already cut down your distance with little/no help I would recommend getting into see one of our running specialists asap. If you want to try things yourself you should look at a regiment of glut "control" exercises and hip flexor stretches.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Low Fat Diets Make You Fat?

I've wondered about this.
It would be my observation that the advent of the low fat/cholesterol diet is the one major factor that occurred coincident with the population weight gain.
The fear/safety phenomena is another possibility, but I would tend to limit this more to the current generation of children.
TV watching and Fast Food existed for quite some time previously.

IMO - No. You can lose weight in any of those diet regimens. How much weight loss is affected - not that low-fat makes you fat(ter).
What they are talking about is overall results in a small-ish population of 'dieters', who stuck to a diet regimen for 24 months. Everybody lost weight, but the low-carb dieters lost the most. And had the largest reduction in blood cholesterol levels. I am assuming the results are statistically significant, but I can't get to the original paper, so I'm guessing. Someone please correct me if I got it wrong. I do not think it correlates with the current zeitgiest.
IMO - what really counts is where the same population of folks are weight-wise in five years.

I suppose my concern boils down to this.
These were all calorie controlled diets with supposedly balanced nutrient intakes.
Vegans seem to be fairly aware of of the difficulty in balancing nutrient intake and put quite a bit of effort into getting the right mixture of food stuff.
I doubt this is true of the general population.
I'm inclined to think that people will over eat the so called low-fat items touted in the stores to obtain elements that are in short supply in these items that are plentiful in the so called bad sources.

Low Fat Diets Make You Fat?
This discusses populations at risk with respect to vitamin b12. Vegans included.
Which is what I guess you are talking about, since you mentioned vegans, and they are a population at risk for B12, and protein deficiency problems. Most of do indeed seem to be aware of this.
So, then, aside from the super-diet-conscious types, who probably do not need to be on low calorie diets anyway, your hypothesis is:
"populations on lowfat diets tend to eat more calories in search of nutrient [X]"
Could you fill in the [X], please?
Aug16-08, 08:42 AM
Well...there are still tons of people who eat high-fat fast food. None of those companies you mentioned are going out of business anytime soon...
...however, the trend toward healthier eating has forced fast-food companies to accomodate these customers. McDonalds has rolled out premium salads. Wendys allows people to substitute side salads or a baked potato instead of french fries in value meals.
Sales aren't down by all that much. People still jam the drive-thrus at lunch hour. But now, the healthier eaters at least have an option or two...the lesser of the evils.
these diets were popular 15 years ago (or more) & people did lose weight as it was more often combined with a high fibre diet-so you ate low fat & high fibre. It was something like 25gms fat a day & 30+ of fibre...and that is a lot of fibre to get through!
No matter how they phrase it, its still just reducing calories overall- its the total amount in that puts on the weight, not where they come from.
Aug16-08, 11:56 AM
Some people often confuse foods that are labeled as "low fat" to mean "low calorie". They will eat a one pound bag of "low fat" cookies thinking that they aren't going to gain weight if they keep their daily intake of fat low.
It's a lack of education.

However, fat is a fairly balanced protein source.
If all you do is substitute "fat free" products into your diet I suspect you could easily develop an unbalanced protein intake.
I might think that people would overeat to make up the missing required ingredients.
Is there anything to this?
The study I posted a link to suggests that the common perception of "healthful" low cholesterol diet seems to be somewhat suspect as the better cholesterol response occurred with the counter intuitive diet.
What actual support is there that reducing fat in your food intake reduces cholesterol?
Particularly for people without an actual genetic complication.
I don't think I have ever come across anything concrete in this line.
Calorie restriction itself should probably lower cholesterol by itself.
From a purely qualitative perspective.
I notice that the people I know who are the most into the common perception of a low cholesterol diet have become the most overweight.
Is it cause or effect here?
I was part of one of the original cholesterol baseline studies.
So I had some idea of my cholesterol level, and what it meant, even though it was probably another 10 or 15 years before a general cholesterol test became available.
I never changed my overall diet and think that low fat products taste simply awful.
While people keep telling me that my diet will kill me, testing indicates my levels are just fine being around 112 LDL and 185 total. The Doc says my weight is excellent.

Fatty acids are similar to long hydrocarbon molecules with a carboxyl (COOH) group at one end. The molecule can either be saturated with hydrogen or have missing hydrogen pairs (which makes it unsaturated). The fatty acids are often transported and stored in groups of 3 tied to a glycerol group (triglyceride). Fatty acids and triglycerides do not contain any nitrogen.
Proteins are made up of amino acids (9 of which are essential). In turn, an amino acid consists of an amino (NH2) group at one end, a carboxyl group at the other, and a side chain in between. The side chain determines the identity of the amino acid and some of these side chains (such as that for Methionine) contain sulphur.
With the abscence of nitrogen and sulphur, fats cannot supply amino acids.
The blaming of low fat food for obesity is really not accurate. As the law of conservation of energy and the second law of thermodynamics would have it, the only way to become obese is to intake and excess of empty calories and to do so over a long period. Besides, many of these studies are based on surveys. The problem here is that there is often a disparity between what people eat and what they say that they eat. I have many times sat across the table from people who brag about their healthy eating habits between bites of greasy disgusting junk that I wouldn't touch.
Sep7-08, 09:28 PM
I've read that obesity is primarily caused by lack of sleep and lack of exercise and not by consuming a lot of calories for too long.
Suppose that someone eats 2500 kcal per day and has a constant body weight. If that person were to eat 100 Kcal per day less and keeps his activities exactly the same, then will he continue to lose weight and starve to death? Of course not! His metabolic rate will simply adjust to his new diet. He'll only lose some fixed amount of weight, there is no long term downward trend in his weight. The same is true if he were to eat 100 Kcal per day more. He'll gain a bit of weight, but then the weight should stabilize.
Without such feedback mechanisms regulating the metabolic rate, animals in the wild would not last long. I've read that lack of sleep and lack of exercise cause weight problems, presumably because they interfere with the body's ability to regulate the weight.
It is not understood exactly how this works. But it seems logical to assume that the body makes the metabolic rate during sleep dependent on the energy intake. Changing the metabolic rate during sleep has less impact on your daytime functioning.
Now, if you don't sleep enough, this fine tuning mechanism won't work well and your weight would tend to fluctuate. But, since it would be a bad idea for a biological system to allow for large downward fluctuations of the weight, lack of sleep should trigger your overall metabolic rate to go down a bit so that the system will be biased in favor of weight gain.

1. Calorie reduction by itself (without exercise) usually involve some muscle loss. This will lower the Basal Metabolic Rate and thus the caloric expenditure.
2. A lighter body will need less energy (Calories) to move around.
Anything that converts energy from one form to another can always waste energy however, nothing (including animals) can pull energy (Calories) out of nowhere. This is why it takes a 3500 Calorie deficit to lose a lb of fat and why it takes over 4000 Calorie surplus to gain a lb of fat (~9 Cal/gram). This is due to the Second Law of Thermodynamics. In short, biology has to obey the laws of physics. Here is an analogy to think about:
If a car started a journey with half a tank of gasoline and returned with a full tank, did the laws of physics yield or did someone add gasoline to it?
Sep11-08, 10:39 PM
I agree, but you have to take into account that we are warm blooded animals. We waste energy all the time. So, it is better to compare the human body with a car whose engine is always running. Let's assume that at night it is running idle and at daytime you want to be able to be unconstrained as much as possible.
Then, you can use the time when the car is not used to burn off eexcess fuel by letting the engine run a bit faster. Or, if you've used a bit more fuel than usual, you can let the engine run a bit slower at night. So, as long as you stay within some reasonable bandwith of fuel use during daytime and fuel tanked, you can make sure that each morning when you start to drive your car again the fuel you have in your tank is exactly the same.
Now, the shorter you make the "resting period" the more difficult it becomes to fine tune the fuel weight. Now, if you are not careful with the fuel management, you can get an empty tank simply because you use a small amount of fuel more than you take in. So, to avoid that you need to be extra careful and keep a larger fuel reserve.
Back to biology. If you are a lion then staying fit and being able to maintain the same level of fitness is important. You don't want to lose weight just because you've been eating a little less for a few months. If you eat a lot less then that's a different matter. But keeping your physical state the same as much as possible surely is an advantage.

Not quite what I had in mind when I said fat though.
It would be my understanding that something like milk fat isn't just fatty acids, but a fairly complex mixture of proteins with a lipid core.
For instance to get your no fat milk the entire complex is centrifuged out.
So the cholesterol conscious people drink no-fat milk (whatever is left over) or substitute soy milk (vegetable proteins in water)
This goes back to my previous comment about the vegan diet where it's fairly well known that certain combinations of things must be eaten together to obtain a balanced input.
Eating them on separate occasions is not the same.
So my question is more of what kind of deficiencies are being introduced into the average practitioners diet?
How much do people over eat to obtain what are now trace elements in their diets?

Neither does the quality, or lack thereof, of the specific proteins.
After all, at least some denaturization most likely occurs during the pasteurization process.
Or the same for cooking/storage of any food.
This question doesn't have anything to do with milk other that being a common example of the changes occurring with the no-fat diet.
It seems that after whole milk is turned into skim milk it now consists primarily of two proteins kappa-casein and Lactoglobulin, a large reduction from the original protein content variety.
I'm just curious on the impact this might have taken across the board when people change their diet to consist of primarily "no-fat" food.
The link I posted originally implies there might be.
I'm just curious as to if there is any additional information along this line.
Sep16-08, 12:58 PM

However, the quality of the protein has everything to do with its nutritional value and here is why:
1. Ingested proteins are broken down into their individual amino acids before they are transported via the portal vein into the liver where they are re-constructed into proteins based on the bodys needs. Proteins that enter the bloodstream intact can potentially trigger the bodys defenses resulting in allergic reactions.
2. If there is a shortage of any essential amino acid or essential combination of amino acids (i.e. Phenylalanine/Tyrosine combination), much of the amino acids will be deaminated and used for energy (calories) instead of protein synthesis. A high quality (complete) protein has at least 100% of the required concentration (mg amino acid/g of protein) of all of the essential amino acids and required combinations. The World Health Organization and the Institute of Medicine have some very useful literature on this.
Incidentally, casein and lactoglobulin (whey protein) have the required amino acid profiles to be considered complete proteins. However, throwing in a bunch of other proteins in the mix could potentially lower the concentration of the essential amino acids per gram of protein if the other proteins are deficient in the essential amino acids. I believe that this mixture (in whole milk) is ideal for bovine physiology but not necessarily so for human physiology. Human milk however, is a different story.
Here is some literature that I think that you might find to be useful:
Also, I read your link again. I do not believe that the experiment was well conducted because they could not monitor what or how much the people actually ate.
