The below article will provide you some excellent guidance on the way to shed weight the correct way. Keep reading to view how!
Treating yourself for adhering to your daily diet is an integral part of dieting success. Have a massage, use the night off and away to rent a motion picture, or shop. The positive reinforcement of an new outfit can be quite a great motivator as you may continue to work hard to arrive at your primary goal weight.
You can expect to reach the best weight loss when you know what works the best for you. If you are great each day, you could possibly can add a morning jog. Those that enjoy nighttime can exercise within the later hours. Should you hate getting up, you're especially not likely to wish to awaken early.
Those who get the most success in slimming down are the types who realize how to enjoy their workout routine. It's been shown that successful weight loss campaigns always include exercise. You can use a youtube video game that is made to assist with fitness, or perhaps go for a walk with friends just to grab yourself active.
Did you realize walnuts may help you lose pounds? Just one study learned that eating walnuts in the morning helped people feel satiated more than individuals who did not. Walnuts can also be a delicious and healthy snack.
Healthy snacks should be prevalent all throughout your home when on a diet. Buy some handy canisters. Purchase fresh veggies including celery, carrots and radishes. Clean and peel the vegetables, and placed them on ice from the container and set inside the fridge. You may generally have a handy eat hand that is simple to grab and go!
Enlist the aid of a buddy when you exercise. It will help you think of exercise being a fun social time as opposed to a chore. Both of it is possible to push each other and educate your stories of success. Exercising having a friend is really so much fun that you anticipate hitting the gym. Before you realize it, you may be shedding those unwanted pounds while having a great time.
An effective weight reduction tip is always to spend a lot of time with active people. If we are around those people who are active, we are usually active. Getting together with a couch potato will probably influence you to curl on the couch with them.
Will not drink soda. These drinks are packed packed with carbohydrates and sugar and could make you crave food much more. Make water the selection of beverage when alleviating thirst. This can be a healthier plus more productive option.
Set a practical fat loss goal yourself. Also have an objective which is attainable to reduce the opportunity for failure. For example, your ultimate goal can be to lose 20 pounds, which happens to be doable, but if you attempt to make it happen within a month, chances are, you may fail. Make an effort to set a whole new, realistic goal per week, instead. Take it a step at one time. Instead, you ought to be focused on just how much you lose every week.
Many individuals have stopped using the word "diet" forever reason. Telling people you're dieting can arouse negative connotations or feelings and might discourage you.
Couple your diet with some sort of physical exercise as a means to enhance your unwanted weight loss. Are you currently preparing for a nice outdoor lunch? Locate a grassy area with plenty walking paths, and pair lunch with a walk. With a little bit of time and energy, you may combine your diet with physical activities and shed more weight.
Don't eat fried foods if you are attempting to lose weight. Other cooking methods are far healthier and supply food which is delicious at the same time. You can broil, bake, steam or poach food. These techniques of cooking will allow you to slim down.
There are many weight loss pills, on the internet and in stores, that boast of being magic. You need to avoid using them. You might become hooked on a thing that doesn't even work. You literally have no idea what you are actually getting included in as a result of absence of information provided on the bottle. Use natural methods to lose weight.
Having the proper level of rest is extremely important to lose weight. Being healthy mentally can enhance your physical health. Therefore, you need to be sure you get around seven to eight hours of sleep each night. Losing sleep can cause more tension and stress throughout the day, which can cause obesity. Excess sleep brings about inactivity and digestive problems, heightening the chances of you carrying excess fat.

(WMC-TV) - First responders hit the pool Tuesday to learn life saving water rescue skills in advance of the Mid-South boating season.
Memphis Police Department, Memphis Fire Department, and Shelby County Sheriff's Office had first responders hit the Bickford Community Center swimming pool to train.
"What we're talking about is what an individual officer can experience if he or she finds themselves overboard in the water themselves, or what to expect if they have a panicking victim," said Major Anthony Rudolph, MPD.
MPD's Harbor Patrol, in particular, routinely deals with water rescues, recoveries, and searches.
The training on Tuesday was part of a series of sessions to both build skills and enhance teamwork.
"Especially since the boater season is getting ready to start and be in full swing," added Maj. Rudolph.
The first responders taking part in the training hope many of the techniques they learned are never actually needed.
In addition to learning survival techniques, first responders learned how to properly board vessels and other aspects of working on the water.

The Fall Cure: Clearing The Path
Week 2 - Intro
• Cure Clock: 7 weeks to go
• Assignment: Read Week 2: Clearing the Path
• Members: 1,584...
I love doing the Cure. Twice a year I have this great excuse to upend everything, move everything around, buy a few new things and feel the energy come washing back into our home. This weekend Sara Kate started in on our kitchen and I totally lost focus and worked on the bedroom, living room AND bathroom. However, our apartment's so small they're all really connected to one another... Oh, but before I go on, here's a little survey to see who we've got out there. This will tell you a lot about how easy it is for you to get rid of stuff, or how hard it is for you to get into nesting....
If you checked "Warm" you may find it hard to let go of things and feel an strong sense of attachment to both objects and people. This is your strength and your weakness. You are a feeling person and as much as you may love all your stuff and feel that the very "character" of your home is made up of it, you will overlook the degree to which it may be bringing you down, burdening you with weight (both real and psychic) and otherwise getting in the way of THINGS YOU WANT TO DO WITH YOUR LIFE. That's the important thing - doing those things you want to do.
Your goal? Attach yourself to the dreams, plans and people that really matter by letting go of the old stuff.
If you checked "Cool" you may think that you don't have big problems with stuff or that you are smarter than all the others who checked "Warm" at this point. Best not to be too smug, for your coolness is YOUR strength and your weakness. You are a thinking person, and as much as you are NOT too attached to your stuff, your home may need a little bit of heat, a little TLC and your attention to make it the comfortable place you desire.
If you're cool, you may need a little help moving IN, finishing up and keeping your space clean and cozy, as opposed to dusty and uncomfortable. You may not cook very often and your fridge may be empty.
Your goal? Remember your dream for your home, think of this as a totally doable new puzzle that you are going to figure out and don't underestimate how big a deal it's going to be when you transform your home. And the first step is rolling up your sleeves and getting your hands dirty - you will be surprised how much fun it is.
Not Sure?
Don't worry about it right now, but I guarantee you you'll know by the end of these eight weeks. :-)
The funny thing is that of all the things I told myself I'd do this past weekend, the one thing I really didn't get to was letting go of stuff. I was going to clean out the bedroom closet and our front closet for old clothes that I no longer wear (and then I was going to buy myself a new winter coat), but I never did it.
Why? I ask myself, because it's harder to take something OLD out than to bring something NEW in. But you have to. Otherwise, your new stuff just finds itself breaking against the rocks of your old stuff.
But even I still don't do it automatically.
But this is what I did do.
The big thing was that I FINALLY bought a cordless drill for our home. I bought a DeWalt 12volt cordless drill that's pretty compact, powerful, AND - best of all - it's got a cool feature I've never seen: an LED light for dark spaces. For some reason, although I've got lots of tools at work, I've never really treated myself to a "home" set and having this new toy allowed me to really get a lot more done.
- Removed the big picture over the head of our bed - moved it to living room.
- Removed other picture in our bedroom and moved it to Ursula's room.
- Brought picture from living room and hung it in bedroom.
- Cleaned off the tops of our dressers.
Living Room:
- Rearranged the living room
- Removed Ursula's blocks to her room
Ursula's Room
- Rearranged her toys (removed one basket)
- Moved blocks in from living room
- Removed all of her changing table stuff off the dresser (she no longer needs it)
- Moved all of her books to the top of her dresser
- Removed all of the towel hooks that have been falling off slowly since I installed them last year
- Boiled them and stripped them down with new drill attachment.
I ran out of time last night so I wasn't able to finish up in the bathroom, but should be able to complete it this week before moving back into the bedroom for the duration.
In the beginning I find you just need to create a little whirlwind of activity and touch a lot of parts of your house at once. Having done it, I'm now ready to settle down and put into action my plans for the bedroom.....
[writing still in process RIGHT NOW.... will continue to republish every 10 minutes or so until I'm done...:-)]

I find it hard to get rid of crafting things and stuff that I may or may not use "someday". I used to be a hoarder of books, but I have gotten loads better about them. It also helps that I have a salvation army only 2 blocks away. :O)
I am finding it hard to get rid of two sentimental peices of furniture. One was my grandmothers dresser. Its a lovely 3 drawer blond wood dresser with a long narrow mirror attached. Looks like its from the 40s. For the past several years it has acted as a home for my altar, sewing materials, and board games. The board games need to go out in the next yard sale but I need to find a new home for the altar and the sewing materials. And I don't really want to get rid of the dresser but it doesn't really fit anywhere, not really. the other is my gorgeous but much too large MCM dining room set given to me by my great aunt. It was given to her by a doctor she used to clean house for. I am not getting rid of either but I would like to put them in storage until I can give them a real home...with me.
Books are probably the hardest for me ... or rather, the hardest that make a major impact. There's some small things that I've gotten quite sentimental about, but the books take up a LOT of space and I tend to be very much a collector (I can think of 5 distinct book collections I have immediately). And once it's a "collection", it starts to be all-or-nothing. With other books, I can consider them individually, but a collection I have an impossible time considering splitting up.
I have some really great, all rosewood nightstands that I just can't imagine replacing with IKEA or anything else I can currently afford. Even though I'm a grown woman, in my head I can hear my mom chastising me for just the thought. I'm trying to repurpose them, but they may have had their day. I also love my bed even though its chunky frame makes it wider than necessary and every inch seems to count in our bedroom. Still, I'm going to try to work around it.
Hypocrite though it makes me, I think my husband has a bizarre attachment to his old creaky queen bedframe that he had as a bachelor. I want to replace it with a smaller bed or futon, but he insists that it will fit into our itty bitty guest room. Technically it will fit...if nothing else goes in the room and he reverses the door to swing out and removes the folding closet doors.
i have had a hard time letting go of books for years, but the other night, my boyfriend and i went through our 6 bookcases jammed with color-coded books (it's how i remember the books, not by title or author), and i donated 4 boxes. 4 boxes of books, gone! we moved in here with so much stuff, and the one thing i never even thought about thinning were the books. i'm ready to get rid of some more "stuff".
Oh, all of the above - books, craft supplies, kitchen stuff, electronics - basically anything I paid good money for and that could still be useful. I hate wasting, and getting rid of something that still has value is really difficult for me.
Can anyone say greasy dust?
I have shelves and pretty glass jars holding foodstuffs over my unvented stove.
If it weren't for the Cure, I wouldn't clean them, it is so, so gross.
That's where I started this weekend: I'm going to try my best to declutter and clean a wall every two days. That would include the shelves, appliances and/or cabinets up against them, too. So, hopefully it won't take more than a week.
I have trouble getting rid of everything but expired coupons and rotting food. Probably I'm worst with things for projects I haven't gotten around to yet. I'll be retiring in 5.3 years, so I might actually get around to stuff.
But I'm getting quite good and not bringing stuff into the house. Now that I have just about everything I want, I don't buy more unless I love it and it fills a gap or replaces something obviously inferior. Maybe for each item I go through, I should ask myself, "If I didn't already own this, would I buy it?"
I think I'm really going to like the outbox concept (except that there are no corners of our house that we're not using). You give yourself time to see what a space with only things you love feels like.
Clothes that are two sizes too small. Get over it already, right?
My fiance does not like to get rid of electronics. That'll be a challenge. He likes to bring home "cool" old speakers....
Also, I manage to put things in a box to bring to Goodwill, and the box sits next to the front door for...uhhh...like a year.
So, so sad.
Oh, how can I forget Tupperware?
Are we not doing group flickr accounts?
I understand we're to send pictures to YOU if we want to be featured on the main page. With so many sign-ups and folks' participating, that makes sense.
But, I missed where we're to post pictures for each other--or is that not done anymore?
I have multiple sizes and multiple styles. I've got heels almost every color you can think of and Wranglers and cowboy boots. One side of the closet is filled with suits from my previous life and the other with casual pants and tops from my current.
Alana in Canada, there is a flickr group! You can find it here: http://www.flickr.com/groups/homecure
I have about 2000 LPs, and tend to bring 5-10 more into our home each week. I've become much less attached to books and other media, keeping a small number of each and giving away most. But culling my vinyl is tough...made worse since when I'm ready to eliminate some albums, my partner will go through them and add them to HIS collection....so it ends up taking a tour of our apartment but never leaving....sigh...
I find it hard to get rid of children's things. Especially if their grandparents have given them to them. We have about 30 puppets and about 25 stuffed animals living in one room with two little boys. Books are another one for my husband and I, but I have started swapping the paperbacks.
This weekend, we're finally having a yard sale, taking the leftovers to the Salvation Army, Goodwill or a local charity and/or the dump. I am PSYCHED.
I have a hard time letting go of books. A REALLY hard time. I mean, one day, I'll have the time to read them all, right?
Otherwise, what I'm confronting during this (my first!) Cure is letting go of small items that still attach me to my former marriage. In particular, a coffee grinder and set of mugs that my ex gave me. I think the coffee grinder was his first present to me while we were dating. I even got it to Goodwill once, but snatched it back out of the box. I'm not supposed to be drinking coffee at all, so....it's probably way past time to let the coffee grinder and coffee mugs go!
I find it hard to get rid of fabric and craft supplies -- paint, glitter, brushes, notions, and scrapbook supplies that I haven't used in years but might some day.
Also, books. But I'm getting better. I'm not afraid to get rid of a paperback that I have already read.
I also find we have a lot of cheapy clothes. Lots of cheapy t-shirts and such that take over the house. And too many old towels. I'm also reluctant to get rid of expensive cosmetics and lotions -- even if I don't use them.
Yesterday I did a big clear out of the kids' room. We're having a garage sale this Saturday. We set up all of our folding tables in the garage and have putting things out there for a couple of weeks. It's amazing how much stuff can accumulate in a small house.
Books! I have books out the...well, you know. I have so many that they are double stacked on the bookcase, lined up on the window sills, shoved in the closet. I need to go through them and get rid of them, but I can't bare to throw away a good book and have no idea where to donate them. I've put a lot on paperbackswap but they're still just taking up space and one gets requested every so often. Arg.
I have a hard time with craft supplies, old nice clothes, and furniture.
I'm looking forward to this cure-but I'm getting over the flu-so this week and next might be a bit spotty for me...
The most difficult things for me to get rid of are those things that were loaned or "donated" to me when I was in a very "mobile" state in life. I lived in 3 different apartments in 4 years that I knew were temporary when I started thus I did not invest in tons of decor. When I got married, my husband actually had the matching furniture (b/c his parents turned the old dairy barn behind their house into his bachelor pad after high school) but I still did not get rid of the "random" furniture I had in the apartments. Now as we slowly invest in "sets" (i.e matching lamps, matching/color-coordinated towels, matching place settings), there's a part of me that begins to feel guilty for getting rid of those things that were given to me when I was in need - things from my mom, my grandmother, several generous couples at our church. Thus, things are cluttered instead of looking "put together". I have a hodgepodge collection of things that turn out to be duplicates (i.e. I have 3 sets of measuring cups/spoons) and don't add any value to the space.
i find it hard to get rid of (and stop adding to) my sewing, knitting and other supplies for making. i do actually sew and knit on a reasonably regular basis, but i could quit my job and sew/knit/make for a year and possibly not burn through all my supplies.
and this is after a massive purge 18 months ago. seriously massive. it's just that, when i see these supplies (especially vintage fabric or even clothes that i want to use for fabric), i buy them. so my stash grows.
i have myself convinced that when my sewing space is more usable (and my home in general is more functional and my kids are a little bit older), i'll be doing a lot more of this kind of thing. we'll see.
I guess I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place. I want to get rid of "the" couch. I have to call it that because it's my boyfriends and, well, its not mine to throw out. Its 90" long or some absurd length that is longer than a normal couch and takes up a lot of space. Its modern and tan and blah. Not "me". Not what i want in my living room space. So the hardplace? Our relationship is deteriorating and he creates a bad "air" about the place. He has threatened to leave several times which throws me into a tizzy with wrapping things up financially and being able to support myself and my two children alone.
I have come to the decision that I will remove him, and he can take his furniture. Its hard to tell a childs father to leave but its a bad environment and I am strong enough to go it alone. My happiness and my childrens happiness is my goal and I dont see him in our "happiness" future. Sorry to ramble, but "he" is the hardest thing to let go of and when he is let go of, the heart of my home can begin to heal and flourish. 'Nuf' said.
Perhaps if you give them away to others in need (either people you know or through a donation program) it wouldn't make you feel so guilty? Then you know someone, like you back then, will be grateful to have them.
As for me, I have a hard time getting rid of anything that potentially could be useful. Containers of various sizes, unused or partially used notebooks, gift toppers (bows, fake flowers, tags, etc.), cereal boxes (need cardboard to make drawer dividers!), and so on. I'm not a hoarder by any means—my apartment is usually on the tidy side—but I can't seem to easily toss what others would consider junk.
The hypocritical thing is, when I'm helping someone else clean/purge their house I have no problem tossing these things and convincing the person why they should be tossed. But in my own house...
items that were gifts from my late mother. Although I don't like the gifts that she thought were just perfect for me, its still very hard to get rid of them because they remind me of her. I've decided to give back. Sell these gifts and use the money towards a charity. At least that will warm my heart.
suggestion 1 - take pictures of items you think you can't do without that hold sentimental value. At least then you can have a record and still keep those memories when you finally let it go.
suggestion 2 - when the time comes to clean out your childhood home, only allow yourself one rubbermaid bin full of childhood memories. I recently had to do this and it was a relief to only bring into my home the most cherished items - yearbooks, first teddy bear, diaries, newspaper of when i was born and family photos... I wanted to take everything but it would sit in my basement and collect dust.
final note - Hold onto the memories - not the stuff!
As many others, I am having a hard time sorting out my books. Still, I need to weed out some 200 books. As I just cannot decide, I will now try it the other way round.
I will pack all the books in cartons and get rid of 1/3 of my bookshelves (I need to repaint the room anyway). After renovation, I shall store those books, I really want to keep and get rid of the rest. Hopefully.
I am struggling over what to do with sentimental items from the past 5 years. I have a few small boxes of random items such as menus from restaurants where my boyfriend and I celebrated our anniversary, b-day cards, or mementos from jobs I have had that have been meaningful to me. I never take them out to look at them but I know they are in those little boxes, just staring at me. Do I chuck these items? Take a picture of them and then chuck them? How do people deal w/ these types of clutter?
I can't identify any one category of items that I can go to to purge. It all seems necessary, but I know it can't all be. I guess this may be easier in some respects because I can purge a little from each group.
I organized/purged my closet this weekend. Only the maternity clothes that fit me are accessible. My next step could be to go through all my regular clothes and purge. I have waayyy to many of those. I love how few clothes I have right now, and they still take up a lot of room.
I got a late start to the Fall Cure, but have a designated evening to work on things each week, plus time off and on throughout the week to squeeze in a few moments.
Hardest thing to get rid of: clothes. They multiply. I'm a bad shopper, and don't think I have a well defined style, my tastes change over time, so clothes accumulate. I hang on to them way too long, thinking I'll like/want/wear them again sooner or later. One goal I have for this Cure is to weed out A LOT of old clothes, then make smart decisions about a few new things I can really enjoy wearing, that will take up less room in my closet and dresser.
Oh I'm loving this cure. I started cleaning yesterday. Cleaning in the clock motion, I started at 12:00 and I'm at 4:00. I found so much dust! I moved our TV armoir from the diagonal to straight against the wall. The kids now can't watch TV while they eat very well. I think this is a good thing. It really opened up the space. This change feels different and good. I took a load of stuff to the good will too. Today, I will deep clean the bedrooms.
Through a lifetime of frequent moving, I've learned that becoming attached to "stuff" really makes life difficult. Clothing, I manage to get rid of with the greatest ease. "Does it look good? No? Gone!" The only exception has been a hoodie I stole from my boyfriend and have been using as a weight-gain security blanket for 3 years. THAT is hard to let go of...but I did it. I took the first step and put it away in a storage closet where I won't be tempted to yank it out in my rush to get to the bus in the morning.
Stuffed animals and gifts are exceedingly hard for me to part with. Anything someone's given me, I feel like they'll notice missing one day...
Oh books, I love you so.
I did finally break down and purge over 100 books from my shelves (which didn't make that big a dent, which may be some indication of a greater denial on my part... saving that for a later day)
I dusted them and packed them in boxes and even looked up delivery times for a place that will take them... and there they sit, in my car.
It seems that there are several stages of the letting go of stuff.
Clothes for sure...usually clothes that I love but are getting really worn out, I have a very hard time tossing. I've gotten really good at being honest with myself about clothes I just don't really wear and need to donate though, so yay! As for books...they make me feel cozy and they sure make moving a great workout as well :-).
I, too, have difficulty getting rid of 'craft' items. Be it fabric, mason jars, beads, thread, ribbon, pipe cleaners, etc... I end up using the items occasionally in a genius way (usually), so I feel like I should hold on to them, even if I don't have any current plans for them. For example, I used several of my ribbons I kept from my cheerleading days (about 10 years ago now) that we wore in our hair for decorating items for my wedding this month, DIY-style. My husband also wore a vintage tie that I had been storing for roughly 6 years in my fabric bin on our wedding day. It worked perfectly with his suit and our color scheme!
Just work in a library and it will somewhat cure the book thing. Of course, I still have loads of books, but I no longer go to as many book stores. Who wants to look at more books on their day off? Donate them to your local library, or better yet, take them to your local used book store. My husband and I have so much credit at the used book store. We take friends or family members on a regular basis to pick out books that they like. Then we have lunch. Great day and problem solved for us!
That being said, I am a pack rat unable to get rid of clothes that no longer fit and are even worn out, multiple dishes, sentimental items and old college term papers. I have copies of tests and lesson plans I used as a teacher over twenty years ago. I am so afraid that if I get rid of something, I will need it desperately.
Maxwell, will you ever finish this post? We're waiting...
My daughter's toys. My mom used to ruthlessly purge ours (without our consent) and I remember one time going to the thrift store and seeing my missing toys on the shelf. The problem is she sees her grandparents multiple times a week and they bring her something EVERY time. So the toy clutter is getting out of control.
The only thing I have trouble with is fabric. I fix up and sell vintage furniture so I pick up fabric bits everywhere I go to save for future projects. Hoping to do a good weeding out this weekend.
For the hubby, it's any video game system. We have in boxes -
Nintendo x 2
Sega Genesis
Intelliviion x 2
Nintendo Cube
and allllllllllllll the games!
And his magazines, books and clothes.
@Haus Proud, you could get your daughter to help. Maybe take all the toys out and let her put her favorites away. Then, wherever you're taking your extra things, she can take her extra things, too. And if _everything's_ her favorite, then you're in no worse shape then you were before, but she'll know that she has the power to keep anything she really wants and may be up for a real decluttering next time. Having the decluttering be voluntary would make it a very different matter than what happened to you.
Ditto the craft items.
And books.
And bulky, old, wooden furniture that doesn't match, but it was my grandmother's and has sentimental value.
And the cosmetics. I did a big purge recently and got rid of an entire large sized shopping bag of toiletries. Still overflowing.
And lots of other things I "might" use or need someday.
I'm very much a warm personality (read: pack rat). My whole family is...
Reading the last commenter reminded me that I really want to get rid of a bunch of cosmetics. I wear almost no makeup and basically want to keep: mascara, my two eyeliners (brown and black) the 6 colors of eyeshadow I wear (golds, silvers, and then 4 really fun blue/green ones) and the concelear I keep for when its needed. I hve about a thousand lip glosses I never use, most of which are like 6 years old. Gross!
I also hoard memento tshirts. I hate those quilts made from them (sorry) so I just keep them to wear to bed but I have far more than needed. Everytime I purge I make myself get rid of some, but never enough.
Books and condiments. I have many un-read/used of each.
I am doing the one-room remedy for my bedroom and I think I am getting rid of the nightstands (a wobbly half-moon table and a step ladder) and use our small matching dressers on either side. I just did some measuring and think I can swing it. This will allow for a lot more surface area for nightstand type stuff - lamps, books, clocks, etc. and also free up some wall space in our bedroom.
I'm going to donate the table and relocate the step ladder (it's a vintage rad orange one) to another room.
I've done a lot of decluttering over the years and through the Cures and I've got some stubborn areas left. Two things I haven't been able to deal with is a boatload of letters accumulated over a lifetime and a bin of articles I published years ago. I need to sort the letters into trash and keepers, but it's daunting to think of going through it. And I just don't know about the writing. I don't really like to look at it, but it was an important time in my life.
I know I can scan some of this stuff, but that's daunting too. So, these large vats of paper just sit there and irritate me.
I hang on to art, especially if I paid a lot for it at the time. I also have way more photos than I need. I once started making a photo album starting with my baby pictures and going in approximately chronological order. I'm about 30 years behind right now. I got rid of about half of the remaining ones, but there's still so many it's overwhelming.
Seems I'm not alone with books, though I have made progress in not keeping everything I've read. It's the though of having a bookless emergency where I can't just pick up an old favourite to reread in the middle of the night.
The other great clutterer is the things that might be useful to make things out of, doesn't have to be craft or proper materials, it can be any repurposed stuff.
Both my husband and I are engineers at heart and computer people by profession and the scrap materials collections have been used over the years, but what to keep and what to throw is always a struggle.
Books mostly, but I did inherit a lot of stuff from my grandmother that I can't get rid of because it reminds me of her. I'm sure I'm not the only one dealing with this. Of course, the cedar chest she left me is helpful, but I'd like to repaint it. My mom threw a fit when I suggested painting it black or red to fit my bedroom decor. I have a large Victorian framed mirror that I thought would look amazing in black or purple but mom says she'd rather I gave them to her than paint them.
I'm also noticing an attachment to VHS tapes. While I could get rid of the ones we've replaced with DVDs, I have a lot of movies and documentaries taped off tv that I just can't seem to give up, even though I'm sure I'll never watch them again.
Anything that isn't used up or too old to work still. I have leftover toiletries, makeup, nail polish, cleaning supplies, gifts (that I never use), candles, etc. I've always had a lot of room to store stuff and I am good at organizing, but I tend to want everything to be like a store always with some back stock, since I hate running out of things. I also feel bad buying new stuff for my home, if the current stuff still works i.e. towels/sheets/blankets/kitchen utensils. So I end up with like 5 of everything.
Ironically if I haven't worn something for a year I easily get rid of it.
we have moved recently and began purging while packing, but one thing i always struggle with is clothes (that are too small- pre baby days) and cosmetics/toiletries. i always get ready to toss things then i find myself saving everything "just in case" i ever need it/fit into it. i need to just let go!
I recently move from a house with very little living space and an infinite amount of storage to an apartment with twice the living space and NO storage.
I am a pack rat by nature but a purger by habit. My husband is just a pack rat. I used to move every year which kept my things to a minimum, but when I settled in to one place for four years I managed to revert back to my roots. When we moved we got rid of 40% of our books and 60% of our clothes... what a good feeling to let go of all those "what ifs"...I should call it the great purge of '09... but I need the cure to push me into finishing (set up the office, decorate the bedroom...)
Thank you Harlie!
I don't seem to have such a hard time throwing stuff out, it's just the "kicking myself in the butt and begin" part and then the "taking it out of my home" part that are difficult for me.
This is my first cure, and it amazes me how different everything looks when it's just properly cleaned and when I know all the repairs that need to be done (lots to do in the Bones department). They're not done yet, but just having a plan makes the world so much better!
@Pixie, can you bind your articles into books, like libraries do? Or just write up a bibliography of them (so you can look them up later) and let them go? For your "daunting" letters, you could resolve to read one a week--I wouldn't try to go through them all in a sitting or a weekend. You may quickly realize that you love them or can never imagine wanting to read them again. If you decide to get rid of them, you could try offering them back to the person who wrote them to you.
Pixie, I had a similar issue: I had every letter received since I was 8 years old... So I went through them and I got rid of the ones that I clearly didn't need to keep (I birthday card with just the person's name signed in it). In addition, what made a huge difference was to get rid of the envelopes. I only kept the envelopes for the letters that the writer didn't date because the envelope had the postmark. After hours of work, all of my letters fit in two relatively small bins. Within the bins, I organized them by year.
I don't have a problem getting rid of stuff, but I am in denial about the stuff I have, I just ignore it. So it's more like a large elephant in the room nobody seems to look at. I find it overwhelming and it kinda get's the best of me. I have the problem of my home feeling too cold and I would like to warm it up and try to make the awkward layout more cozy and inviting. How to do this I'm not sure...

The director, Dmitri Tcherniakov, has hijacked this work, to no purpose. The modern-day, plain-clothes setting works against the meaning and power of the work. Time and again the visual grates against the libretto. Musical aspects fine, but in my view an irresponsible production.

Contacts told American diplomats that hacking attacks against Google were ordered by China's top ruling body and a senior leader demanded action after finding search results that were critical of him, leaked U.S. government memos show.
One memo sent by the U.S. Embassy in Beijing to Washington said a "well-placed contact" told diplomats the Chinese government coordinated the attacks late last year on Google Inc. under the direction of the Politburo Standing Committee, the apex of Communist Party power.
The details of the memos, known in diplomatic parlance as cables, could not be verified. Chinese government departments either refused to comment or could not be reached. If true, the cables show the political pressures that were facing Google when it decided to close its China-based search engine in March.
The cable about the hacking attacks against Google, which was classified as secret by Deputy Chief of Mission Robert Goldberg, was released by WikiLeaks.
The New York Times said the cable, dated early this year, quoted the contact as saying that propaganda chief Li Changchun, the fifth-ranked official in the country, and top security official Zhou Yongkang oversaw the hacking of Google. Both men are members of the Politburo Standing Committee.
The cable notes that it is unclear if Chinese President Hu Jintao and Premier Wen Jiabao were aware of the reported actions before Google went public about the attacks in January.
The Times, however, said doubts about the allegation have arisen after the newspaper interviewed the person cited in the cable, who denied knowing who directed the hacking attacks on Google. The Times did not identify the person it interviewed.
Another contact cited in that cable said he believed an official on the top political body was "working actively with Chinese Internet search engine Baidu against Google's interests in China."
Google's relations with Beijing have been tense since the U.S.-based search giant said in January it no longer wanted to cooperate with Chinese Web censorship following computer hacking attacks on Google's computer code and efforts to break into the e-mail accounts of human rights activists. Google closed its mainland China-based search engine on March 22 and began routing users to its uncensored Hong Kong site.
Google's spokeswoman in Tokyo, Jessica Powell, said the company had no comment on the cables released by Wikileaks, and on the hacking attacks, referred to a January statement that said it had evidence that the attack came from China. Google at the time declined to say whether the government was involved.
A man who answered the phone at the spokesman's office of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said no one was available to comment Sunday. Calls to the Foreign Ministry and the State Council Information Office, which is responsible for regulating Internet contact, rang unanswered.
The hacking that angered Google and hit dozens of other businesses was part of a rash of attacks aimed at a wide array of targets, from a British military contractor to banks. Experts said then the highly skilled attacks suggested the military or other government agencies might be breaking into computers to steal technology and trade secrets to help state companies.
In February, Peng Bo, a high-ranking official with the Internet bureau of the State Council Information Office, said the Chinese government was not involved in or supportive of cyber attacks, and called such accusations "sheer nonsense."
A separate cable released by WikiLeaks showed a Politburo member demanded action against Google after looking for his own name on the search engine and finding criticism of him.
In the version of the May 18, 2009, cable released by Wikileaks, the identity of the official was apparently removed. But the Times reported it was Li, the propaganda chief.
The cable, classified as confidential, cited a source as saying the Chinese official had realized that Google's worldwide site is uncensored, capable of Chinese language searches and search results, and that there is a link from the home page of its China site, google.cn, to google.com.
The official "allegedly entered his own name and found results critical of him," and asked three government ministries to write a report about Google and "demand that the company ceases its 'illegal activities,' which include linking to google.com," the cable said.
The cable said American officials could neither confirm nor deny the details given by the contacts about the Chinese leadership's action.
A contact also said that China asked its three state-owned telecommunications companies to stop working with the search giant, the cable showed. China's main state-owned phone carriers are China Mobile, China Unicom and China Telecom.

"The cable about the hacking attacks against Google, which was classified as secret by Deputy Chief of Mission Robert Goldberg, was released by WikiLeaks." …extract from article
This is a prime example of how our now criminally disposed government will 'suck up' to the "Red Chinese" even suppressing information concerning their nationally sponsored hacking attacks on Google.
Our Congressional contingent and trade reps will do anything to placate China. Why so? They own our collective butts lock, stock and barrel relative to debt and the markets.
Everytime our people patronize Walmart they are in effect helping to arm and support our sworn enemies regardless of the seemingly consumer friendly goods that say "Made in China".
True freedom and public dissent are as oil to water relative to the Chinese leadership, so too our leadership is progressing along nicely in the same direction. In time there will be little difference between Beijing and D.C. in terms of how they both view and treat their citizens.

As broadcast by the CBSTS, a.k.a. (can't believe shit they say ).
Attention !
Do not touch the noose,
you shall all choke in unison.
It's really a matter of time. China is a member of the world community and it's citizens are world participants.
You surely jest Jeb? You must be 'Jeb Bush'. I could visualize him touting such while on the campaign trail in the next presidential campaign.
China is a rogue nation, basically doing whatever it wants. It refuses to let its currency float in the FOREX markets with its fixed 'peg' as a function of the Chinese 'planners' who are using it as a veiled measure of warfare as a function of the practices of "Sun Tzu". They're doing us bigtime via their currency, their trade practices and even their attempt to hack Google and our DOD functions on occasion. They are always probing the perimeter of our defenses across a broad spectrum. They are like the "Borg" from the "Star Trek" series and will ultimately absorb us all like it or not.
As far as nuclear war is concerned, its already been "gamed" out that they along with India and Malaysia will be the premier survivors of such an unthinkable exchange. Once the radiation subsides, they'll have a lot of fine farmland and water supplies (theGreat Lakes) to take care of their survivors for sure into the next millennia. The remnant populations of North America will make for useful slaves working their newly acquired farmlands and mines.

Getting a little farfetched here Carl. While I agree with your earlier (Dec 5@2:02 pm) comment, I don't believe that China is planning a nuclear war, a war that nobody in their right minds would consider a solution. There is no need for war, not physical war anyway. Trade war, economic war, financial wars are the future means of combat and I agree that China is slowly killing us and our ability to react and respond to economic assaults.
But don't forget the fact that they hold over a Trillion Dollars of our debt, and when they revalue the RMB, it costs them billions of dollars. In the past 5 years the exchange has gone from 8.1 Rembi to the dollar and is now around 6.6 to the dollar. That coupled with their inflation and money dumping around Africa and South America can only be tolerated as long as their economy is booming and producing megabucks. So forget the bombs, they are killing us with slingshots.
Dead is dead, and unless we do something to stop this assault on our economy/country, we will all be eating with chopsticks. I guess that means you should buy stock in Georgia-Pacific as a hedge against China's world domination.
There are real solutions, but the assholes in Congress are too busy picking at each other or feathering their own nests to stop and consider plans of action. I can't believe the Republicans got elected and are back in control of the House and in a much stronger position in the Senate. People's memories are unbelievably short because if they weren't, they would recall who got us into this disaster in the first place. We needed to clean House and Senate, but instead we swept the dirt back into the room.
How sad, but how glad I am that I'm old and won't be around to see the demise of our great nation. Here I sit in Viet Nam, eating with chopsticks (I always liked leading, not following, and stepping to the music of my own drummer…). Perhaps it is time for another Revolution, for that seems to be the only way WE THE PEOPLE can reclaim our government from the carpetbaggers in Congress.
Hi Bill,
I surely hope you are correct in that nuclear war is not inevitable, but the Chinese General staff thinks otherwise. They won't cotton to us meddling in their affairs concerning the annexation of Taiwan which for all practical purposes is a fait accompli based on their business ties.
We're also planning naval exercises in the South China Sea which to the Chinese is considered to be no different than the Mediterranean Sea, "Mare Nostrum" (our sea) to the ancient Romans.
We need to stack arms and stay away from obvious Chinese zones of influence no different than we would like them conducting maneuvers right off our coasts or in the Gulf of Mexico.
I thought I'd supply some commentary on behalf of General Zhu in a July 2005 Financial Times article relative to nuclear war with the U.S. His comments were discounted, but surely not on my behalf. To disrespect the strength and actions of our potential enemies is a recipe for deadly consequences to our nation.
A few weeks back you were complaining about your hassles with TSA and I offered some feedback concerning the NSA, phone calls, parsed trigger words etc. I didn't save the post so I have no idea if you read the reply? I referenced a poster who's handle was "barak". He too lived in Vietnam and referenced similar difficulties. If you are barak, no problem. I miss his posts to this site.

I wish it were an easier time for you, Joan ... and maybe one day, it'll be an easier time for you or someone else who learned from results reported on your case.
In any event, prayer or chanting or mystical ceremonies have ZERO impact on malignant cells, which are as disordered and purposeless as the religion that claims to have all the answers. Your team may not have the best answer, but they have AN answer, an answer with some history, some background, and evidence supporting the efficacy of their methods, which is way more than the other side of the ledger has to offer.
And for whatever it's worth, you have my support, Joan. You've had it from Letter A, and I see no reason to alter that. Just do me one favor:
Get. Well. SOON!
Thanks for sharing your experiences with us, Joan. It's brave to learn from a deathly challenge. Not many are strong enough to see it as an opportunity for development. Most of us just get regressed and wallow in self-pity. More power to you, our role model!
I remember a post in which you told us about having cancer: "well, it has been a nice trip..." but you went on and made this journey through the long treatment, learning more about yourself and teaching anyone who would learn from it. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for your courageous essay, Joan. I certainly hope (not pray) that you're doing better now. Please visit the chat room soon.
Gwaithmir, your lovely note encourages me. Help me remember where we met. Your name and avatar I cannot forget.
Hi, Joan!
I believe we met in the chat room several months ago. You joined my group Lord of the Rings Atheists. I don't really look like Gandalf. ;-)
I'm a cancer survivor. I was diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer 5½ years ago. I underwent a radical prostatectomy and six weeks of followup radiation therapy. I appear to be cancer free now, but have to undergo semi-annual cancer screening, probably for the rest of my life.
Gandalf, I am so glad you touched based with me and shared your story of being a cancer survivor. Such news sounds like there is life after the diagnosis, and a wonderfully new appreciation of life.
I trust you are feeling well and doing those things that you love.
I underwent another cancer screening the day after I last posted here. All results were negative. My next screning will be in December.
Very good news! In the meantime, have a rip roaring rich and fulfilling life, full of interesting things to think about and do, great food with tastes that sparkle, neighbors, family and friends that bring you pleasure and profound peace and joy!
Thanks for this creative share, Joan.

Teacher Training at University of Worcester Rated 'Outstanding'
Tuesday, 08 June 2010
The training of teachers at the University of Worcester has been rated 'outstanding' by Ofsted, for the second time.
The detailed report marks the overall effectiveness of the primary and secondary training at the University as Grade 1 which is officially outstanding. The Universitys Graduate Teacher Programme was also rated Grade 1 outstanding.
The report contains page after page of outstanding assessments and particularly notes the strength of the relationships with local authorities and other agencies.
The inspectors report states: A particularly strong feature of the provision is the close integration of all teacher education within the University and the effectiveness of the collaboration across all programmes.
It continues: The very strong leadership team provides a clear framework and vision that leads to highly effective sharing of best practice and innovative developments.
The inspectors noted the high quality of the personal and professional support for trainees and the culture of continuous improvement that permeates all teacher education programmes.
Professor David Green, the Universitys Vice Chancellor, said: The baby boom of the last few years means that the Country needs high quality primary school teachers more than ever.
It is excellent that this full inspection of teacher training at the University of Worcester has found that primary teacher training is officially outstanding in every aspect and that secondary teacher training and the Graduate Teacher Programme are outstanding as well.
The University of Worcester provides training for primary, secondary and further education teachers, at both undergraduate and postgraduate level.
The inspectors said of the secondary training: A noteworthy characteristic of Worcester trainees is their preparation for teachers wider roles in schools; for example their understanding of safeguarding, teachers pastoral role and how to teach personal, social and health education.
They also noted the Universitys high employment rates for trainees well above the national average.
Professor Chris Robertson, Head of the Institute of Education at the University of Worcester said: I am delighted that our outstanding national profile has been confirmed by Ofsted yet again. We know our innovative and high quality teacher training programmes at the University both educate and train the very best teachers who can make a huge difference to childrens learning and lives.
Worcesters new MP, Robin Walker, has also praised the University of Worcester in his maiden speech in the House of Commons. Speaking in the House on Tuesday, June 8, Mr Walker, said: ... I am very proud that Worcester boasts the Countrys fastest growing university. The University of Worcester, which I congratulate on its recent Ofsted report, was rated outstanding for its training of teachers at primary and secondary level."
The full report can be viewed on the Ofsted website.

Albany-- A history professor says many of the challenges of this era are similar to what the country experienced in the 1920's. Darton Professor Dr. Ann Engram Smith says American history is characterized by cycles of reform and reaction.
Fears security threats and changes that occur quickly highlighted the roaring twenties that says Smith ironically compares to this opening decade of the twenty-first century so far.
"We somehow need to close our ranks and focus on security, because the world is a hostile place and we are concerned about another ism. In the twentieth century it was communism now it's terrorism "said History Professor Dr. Ann Engram Smith.
The twenties are often seen as the beginning of modern America, but the twenties also saw the Scopes trial and a resurgence of the Klu Klux Klan along with new restrictions on immigration and ongoing rural poverty.

As the U.S. military prepares to lift the ban on women in front-line combat jobs, one expert says the high rate of pregnancy among servicewomen "does definitely have implications for troop readiness" and ability to deploy.
NEW YORK — Just over ten percent of women in the military said in 2008 they'd had an unintended pregnancy in the last year — a figure significantly higher than rates in the general public, according to a new study.
The findings come amid news that the Pentagon will lift the ban on women in front-line combat jobs starting in 2016.
Video: Panetta opens combat roles to women
"It does definitely have implications for troop readiness, ability to deploy [and] troops in combat missions if they are potentially at high risk for unintended pregnancy and pregnant women can't be deployed," said Dr. Vinita Goyal, who has studied unintended pregnancy in female veterans at Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University in Providence, R.I.
Access to birth control can be a problem for troops deployed for long periods of time — and if women do become pregnant, abortion is legally restricted on U.S. military bases. Women who get pregnant while overseas must be evacuated.
Dr. Daniel Grossman from the University of California, San Francisco, who worked on the study, called the rates of unintended pregnancy "really shocking."
"Women in the military certainly deserve more than that. This needs to be addressed across all branches of the military," he said.
The Pentagon could not provide a comment by deadline.
Photo gallery: Women in combat
Grossman's results are based on surveys of more than 7,000 active-duty women, between 18 and 44 years old, conducted in 2008, the last such available survey. About 800 of the women said they'd had an unintended pregnancy in the previous year — including a similar proportion of deployed and non-deployed women.
In total, about 900 women had been unable to deploy in the past year due to a pregnancy, whether intentional or unintended, according to findings published in February's Obstetrics & Gynecology.
The rate of unintended pregnancy — 105 for every 1,000 women — was a small increase over the rate in 2005 of 97 per 1,000 servicewomen. That figure is also 50 percent higher than rates of unintended pregnancy among similarly aged women the general, non-military public.
"Clearly unintended pregnancy is an important public health problem for everyone. It seems particularly important for the military population because obviously it can disrupt a woman's career," Grossman said.
He said confusion and concern over military policies on sexual activity may affect women's access to contraception.
Consensual sex among members of the same rank is legal. But women may be afraid to ask for condoms, for example, for fear people will think they are violating policy, Goyal, who wasn't involved in the new research, told Reuters Health.
Sexual assault in the military may be another contributor to high rates of unintended pregnancy, the researchers noted.
"There are studies showing anywhere between 20 and 40 percent of servicewomen [experience] rape or attempted rape during their military career, and the vast majority don't report it," Grossman, who is also the vice president for research at Ibis Reproductive Health, told Reuters Health.
According to data from the Department of Defense, there were between two and three sexual assaults for every 1,000 active duty soldiers, men and women, reported in 2011.
Earlier this month, laws were amended to allow the military health care program TRICARE to cover abortions for victims of rape or incest. Abortion remains illegal at military bases for reasons other than rape, incest and when a woman's life is in danger.
Grossman said contraception should be discussed with military women before they deploy — as is now policy in the Navy — and those women should at least be allowed to pay out of pocket for abortion while on U.S. bases.
"These women should have access to the same services that they could access if they were here in the U.S.," he said.

Morgan's DIY Plumbing Pipe Shelving
Morgan of The Brick House is undoubtedly talented: a stylish home, really excellent blog and the creation of a wonderful, DIY bookshelf pulled together for - get ready - around $200. This wall-size unit would be impressive no matter what, but...
...when you figure in the do-able budget, accessibility of the materials (basic plumbing pipes/fittings and pine planks) and the sturdiness of the finished piece, it is elevated to a DIY masterpiece.
It reminds of us of our friends Shannon & Emmett's shelves which they made from plumbing parts and old stair treads, which is another favorite (inspirational!) project.
Click on over to The Brick House for the how-to - including a full supply list and other details.
Thanks, Morgan!

I'm totally doing this! It would solve my broken bookcase problem and is just stylish!
That is surprisingly attractive.
oooooh this is nice!
Ooooh, I remember when I first saw these and loved them. Thanks for reminding me!
i really like this. sort of looks like a spider climbing up the wall. somehow it plays really well with the rug, too...
has anyone else tried this?
This blog ROCKS!
I really like this. maybe is the painted plumbing that makes this DIY awesome. Well done, very well done. bravo.
I think I finally see what they mean by "intelligent design" ! Brilliant job. Somehow it manages to be stylish and unobtrusive at the same time. And simultaneously modest and impressive. You've performed a bit of magic. Bravo.
I've been in love with this since I saw Todd Oldham create desks for his office out of flange pipes and wood planks on "House of Style" way back in the day.
It's inexpensive, looks expensive and very, very industrial modern!!!!! LOVES!
Genius - and so much better than a group of crappy Billy bookcases!
I loooove this. Unfortunately I don't have the wherewithal to do it myself!
Can't believe I missed this yesterday. AWESOME.
My husband made a desk that looks just like this! It was more difficult than we thought because you have to consider which direction the threading will go on the pipe pieces.
We opted for a butcher block top from ikea.
My husband had this exact idea for shelves for his home office! He just has yet to execute it.
(I showed him this post, and he said "They stole my idea!" LOL)
Great. Nothing transforms a room like floor to ceiling custom shelving.
I'm handy, but I have a minimal selection of power tools and wonder how easy the holes are to cut-- they used a drill to cut 'em?
As I understand the instructions, it's anchored only to the wall from the topmost pipes. Or, is it necessary to use screws on the floor, as well? I never hesitate to mount things on the wall-- if I want to change it down the line, repairing the wall is easy. I'd think twice before screwing into my wood floor, though.
Having attractive shelves cut at the lumber yard is easier said than done-- pine is generally the only solid wood available, and it's a rather loathsome, knotty wood. Finished birch plywood, a la the Eames? Never quite works for me-- the plywood striping on the edges is never dense enough to leave visible (there are inevitably "gaps" in the striping, leaving it looking crude and rough). Where does one buy high-grade plywood?
@shirley: If you have a powered screwdriver or drill, then its fairly easy to find a circle cutter set at any hardware store. They are the set that are generally used to cut the openings for doorknobs.
As for wood to use, maybe getting shelves from another place would do the trick. Places like ikea and the container store sell finished shelves that could easily be re-purposed for this.
Circle cutter set, eh? Guess my power drill has wondrous hidden abilities I've never explored. Thanks.
Ikea & Container store shelves are "meh"/ okay, but one is then obliged to design around their standard sizes.
Regarding plywood, and its unsatisfactory striping: I wonder if one could successfully fill the raggedy stripes with a wood filler, then sand well & finish? (Note to self: experiment with this technique!)
use wood "Tape" veneers for edging that usually has adhesive on the back that you iron on to the wood's edge. (also comes in glue it yourself) Many types of wood veneers available for contrast to the shelf color if you want.
You will need a specialized edge trimmer (a straight knife or box cutter is asking for trouble.) (trying to fix one edge perfect is asking for design trouble and not worth the sweat) Invest in the basic special cutter and save your sanity and/or a trip to the emergency room. You also might find one for rent at a hardware/tool rental place. Maybe a woodworkers co-op or something....
link on wood edge tape...
Ron Hazelton DIY
I'm familiar with and have used veneer tape (to "hide" those unsightly edges).
While it's the best solution I've found so far, something about it rubs me the wrong way-- the veneer tape is ersatz trickery to hide a bad aspect of my shelf design.
It seems as dishonest as a toupee over a bald spot, if you get my drift.
Dense well-made plywood, showing the cut edges, would be preferable.
This goes on the list of things that I love but just won't work in my house. Sigh.
I'm constantly amazed at the wonderful things people do with plumbing materials (remember that awesome bed in Bangalore? and the bedside shelving system in Chicago recently?). I love this and would love to try my hand at it. Maybe at our next place!
I keep wanting to do this bookshelf but I can never decide where to put it. One day...
totally gonna use this in the basement. Maybe take a page out of the Leaning selves/ desks and add a 4-way to bring a section out and then hang another shelf with u-bolts for keyboard tray?
I remember a post (maybe it was a house tour?) where the owner had done his entire office (desk shelves) with plumbing pipes and wood planks like here. Does anyone remember that post? I'm hoping someone can point me towards the page here on apartment therapy. Thanks.
The link to the DYI instructions doesn't seem to be working for me. Is anyone else having this problem? I really love the look of these shelves, and my husband is on board to build them with me, so I would really appreciate any help getting the instructions!
My husband and I made one of these based off of Morgan's tutorial with the help of my handy father-in-law. It's huge and I designed it to incorporate our wall mounted TV which I know might sound a bit sacrilege but we have a tiny space so whatevs-- its functional. I love it and it was so much cheaper than what we priced out with shelving from Ikea! We get tons of compliments on it even though it is nowhere near as stylish as Morgan's because we use it for most of our storage.
shirley-temple-of-doom: what you want then is baltic birch plywood. They use solid plys so there are no gaps along the edge. More $$ than regular, but stronger and nicer looking. also, veneer edgebanding is a perfectly acceptable way of finishing plywood (it is already a veneer as it is). If you don't want to see the edge, just use solid wood.
jose A & shirley: they make lots of different sizes than the set used for cylindrical door hardware sets. Just ask for hole saws (you could use a spade bit too, but the hole saw is cleaner) and make sure you use a powerful enough drill otherwise it will bind. also, make sure your drill is exactly perpendicular to the wood otherwise your hole will be angled. it sometimes helps to 'rock' the drill a bit to get through the wood.
Q: Is the pipe galvanized or black iron?
This is a great place and the information is absolutely brilliant!
Instead of plumbing fixtures you could do this with Kee Klamp pipe fittings. That would eliminate to do any threading.
Simply put, Nice!!! Simple but elegant wood and metal shelving racks, this underscore the fact that with a little thought and creativity, you can create anything out of nothing… http://www.justshelfit.com/metal-shelving-racks-for-storage.html

MLB: Tampa Bay 6, New York Yankees 4
Grizzlies honor Mays, Wilkens, Reed
Suzuki wins 10th consecutive Gold Glove
Clemente named to all-time defensive team
Players help sought to save hall game
Willie Howard Mays, Jr. (born May 6, 1931) is an American professional baseball player who played the majority of his major league career with the New York and San Francisco Giants before finishing with the New York Mets. Nicknamed The Say Hey Kid, Mays was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1979, his first year of eligibility. Many consider him to be the greatest all-around player of all time.
Mays won two MVP awards and tied Stan Musial's record with 24 appearances in the All-Star Game. He ended his career with 660 home runs, third at the time of his retirement, and currently fourth all-time. An outstanding center fielder, he won a record-tying twelve Gold Gloves starting the year the award was introduced six seasons into his career.
In 1999, Mays placed second on The Sporting News' List of the 100 Greatest Baseball Players, making him the highest-ranking living player. Later that year, he was also elected to the Major League Baseball All-Century Team. Mays is one of five NL players to have eight consecutive 100-RBI seasons, along with Mel Ott, Sammy Sosa, Chipper Jones and Albert Pujols. Mays hit 50 or more home runs in both 1955 and 1965. This time span represents the longest stretch between 50 plus home run seasons for any player in Major League Baseball history.

You Are Here: U.S. Preventive Services Task Force > Topic Index > Ocular Prophylaxis for Gonococcal Ophthalmia Neonatorum > Reaffirmation Recommendation Statement
Ocular Prophylaxis for Gonococcal Ophthalmia Neonatorum
Reaffirmation Recommendation Statement
Date: July 2011
Summary of Recommendation and Evidence
Select for a Clinical Summary of this recommendation.
Clinical Considerations
Other Considerations
Recommendations of Other Groups
Members of the USPSTF
|Task Force Grade Definitions
Gonococcal ophthalmia neonatorum develops in approximately 28% of infants born to women with gonorrheal disease in the United States. Identifying and treating the infection is important because gonococcal ophthalmia neonatorum can result in corneal scarring, ocular perforation, and blindness.
Recognition of Risk Status
The USPSTF recommends that all newborns receive prophylaxis; however, some newborns are at increased risk for gonococcal ophthalmia neonatorum. Newborns at increased risk include those with a maternal history of sexually transmitted infections, substance abuse, or no prenatal care.
Benefits of Risk Assessment and Preventive Medication
There is convincing evidence that blindness due to gonococcal ophthalmia neonatorum has become rare in the United States since the implementation of universal prophylaxis of newborns.
Harms of Risk Assessment and Preventive Medication
There is convincing evidence that universal prophylaxis of newborns is not associated with serious harms.
USPSTF Assessment
The USPSTF concludes that there is high certainty that the net benefit is substantial for topical ocular prophylaxis for all newborns for the prevention of gonococcal ophthalmia neonatorum.
Clinical Considerations
Patient Population Under Consideration
This recommendation applies to all newborns.
Preventive Medication
Prophylactic regimens using 1.0% tetracycline or 0.5% erythromycin ophthalmic ointment are considered equally effective in the prevention of gonococcal ophthalmia neonatorum; however, the only drug approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for this indication is 0.5% erythromycin ophthalmic ointment. Tetracycline ophthalmic ointment and silver nitrate are no longer available in the United States. A 2.5% solution of povidone-iodine may be useful in preventing ophthalmia neonatorum, but it has not been approved for use in the United States at this time.
Optimal Timing
Prophylaxis should be provided within 24 hours after birth.
Other Considerations
Research Needs/Gaps
The only drug approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the prevention of gonococcal ophthalmia neonatorum is 0.5% erythromycin ophthalmic ointment. Further research is needed to find safe and effective alternatives to erythromycin. Another area for research is the question of whether risk-based prophylaxis of newborns, based on maternal risk factors, could be as effective as universal prophylaxis.
In 2005, the USPSTF reviewed the evidence on providing ocular prophylaxis for newborns to prevent gonococcal ophthalmia neonatorum, and found no new evidence of harms associated with ocular prophylaxis (1). The benefits of ocular prophylaxis continue to be well established. In 2009, the USPSTF performed an update of the evidence, with a focus on new and substantial evidence on the benefits and harms of ocular prophylaxis.
The USPSTF found no new substantial evidence on the benefits and harms of ocular prophylaxis in newborns, and therefore reaffirms its recommendation that all newborns receive ocular prophylaxis to prevent gonococcal ophthalmia neonatorum. The 2005 recommendation statement and supporting materials can be found at http://www.uspreventiveservicestaskforce.org/uspstf/uspsgono.htm.
Response to Public Comments
A draft of this reaffirmation was posted for public comment on the USPSTF Web site from August 16, 2010 to September 13, 2010. Nineteen comments were received from individuals or organizations. All comments were reviewed in the creation of this final document.
Recommendations of Others
The American Academy of Pediatrics, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, World Health Organization, Canadian Task Force on Preventive Health Care, American Academy of Family Physicians, and Canadian Paediatric Society all recommend universal ocular prophylaxis of newborns for the prevention of gonococcal ophthalmia neonatorum (2-7).
