Maria & Eric's Creative, Comfortable Home in Amsterdam
House Tour
Name: Maria and Eric
Location: Jordaan; Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Size: 200 square meters
Years lived in: 5 years; Owned
Welcome to Maria and Eric's historical Amsterdam home with a modern twist. The two purchased this four-story abode five years ago and renovated the whole structure from top to bottom. Maria put it lightly when she said that renovating is "not an easy task in a foreign country." But they've managed to see the house through every inch of that transformation — and what an amazing result! Each floor features modern interiors, layered with classic vintage elements and art that add depth, texture and plenty of interest.
The floor plans are incredibly clean and simple, but Maria and Eric's selection of unique art and bold colors adds unexpected nuances and character. Their approach has created some very striking spaces, mixing retro chairs with eye grabbing art and decorative accessories. The highlights are clear: the spacious kitchen with a particularly crafty chandelier by Ingo Maurer; the stunning bathroom with a massive shower, handcrafted sink, vintage medicine chest and cozy chair, connecting to the simple and delicate master bedroom — an excellent place to rest after a long day. It's hard not to love how Maria and Eric address each layer of their home. They've combined modern and vibrant accents with fun and playful pieces like the cupboard by Piet Hein Eek, toro art by Alvaro Sotomayer, and beanbag by Mes textiles.
It's a beautiful home, where Maria and Eric have managed to honor their modern design aesthetic while still creating a cozy and welcoming space. Thanks for the lovely tour!
Apartment Therapy Survey:
My Style: A mix of modern and vintage.
Inspiration: Local Dutch design, Scandinavian design, great vintage pieces we found on the street while living in NYC.
Favorite Element:
We have a few favorites!
1. Our house is very bright and open, which is a rare thing in Amsterdam. We have big windows on both sides of the house, so light streams in when the sun is out. Even when it's grey and overcast, we still get beautiful natural light. Our house is spread over four stories and has a lot of open space: the kitchen/dining area and living room each occupy an entire floor. Our kids love it — there's plenty of room for them to run around.
2. The Ingo Maurer paper chandelier in our kitchen/dining room is also a favorite. We replaced the lamp's pre-designed paper notes with blank sheets that have been designed by our creative friends. It's like a constantly evolving piece of art.
3. Our collection of art that we've picked up at local shows and galleries, from amazing artist and friend Alvaro Sotomayor, and from our favorite gallery in Wellfleet, Mass.
Biggest Challenge: When we bought our house, it had been completely stripped and gutted. There were no doors, no floorboards, no kitchen, bathrooms, closets, nothing. We renovated the entire thing from the bottom up. Not an easy task in a foreign country!
What Friends Say: Our friends always have a great time at our house. I think that says something!
Proudest DIY: Our terrace, which is right off the kitchen on our first floor. It's a jungle of roses, lavender, jasmine, and fresh herbs.
Biggest Indulgence: A custom made cupboard by Dutch designer Piet Hein Eek. Eric might say his road bike, which hangs like art in our living room!
Best Advice: Do it slowly. It took us a year before we hung anything on our walls! We've acquired new pieces here and there over the years, adding touches that have made it feel like a real home.
Dream Sources: Remodelista, Dezeen, Dwell magazine, Amsterdam shops like De Weldaad and Harvest & Co., the street, my mom's house, friends' places. We're always looking!

I just saw that Leonard Baskin somewhere the other day. Great house. Love it!
This place is an absolute knockout! I love everything: the unique mix of styles; the beautiful art and furniture; the abundant light; the exposed brick; the gardens; even the exterior building facade. And you have 2000 square feet in Amsterdam - lucky lucky you! I am bookmarking this tour for inspiration.
Um..this tour looks familiar, is it a repost? Maybe it's just the tours on AT start to look the same after awhile. I swear I've already seen this though.
My dream house to be honest. Gorgous spaces!
Wow, absolutely beautiful. I Love that cabinet with the rodent painted on it. Where did you find that??
I haven't seen an Ingo Maurer lamp like that since 2006. It was so lovely, hanging in one of my favorite restaurants in Idaho.
Beautiful place.
Speaking as a card-carrying member of the grammar police, I believe you mean "historic," not "historical" (look it up). I usually get paid to do this; no charge to you.
Also-- that mobile; how to?
Another bookmark on this page - I love everything about this home.
I did find it strange when the owners said it was rare to have a bright and open home in Amsterdam, though. Every home I've ever seen in Amsterdam has been open and bright. It's one of the things I love about their design.
What a cool place! Made me want to climb through my computer & visit there;)
What a beautiful home! You both have done an amazing job on this house!
Well that's it, apparently I need to move to Amsterdam.
AMAZING house! so beautiful and comfortable.
My jaw dropped - creative, unique and liveable. LOVE this home. Thanks for sharing.
beautiful home indeed...but I have a question about those sinks. Wouldn't the wood get rotted eventually?
Great home! I'm so jealous - you get to live in one of my favorite cities in a place like that!
I love this home but have two nitpicky questions about the article. If one mentions the enormous shower in the article, one should really include a full photo of said shower - not a hint of it.
Also, being short, I am wondering if the owners of this home are both tall people. I ask because the mirrors above the sinks seem inordinately close to the ceiling? It doesn't appear I could even jump to reach them!
This place is so beautiful, it is about to make me cry! Love everything, inside and outside.
This is gorgeous. One of my all time favorite tours.
four floors in the Jordaan. Wow. That doesn't come cheap! [And ditto a previous person's comments: my family is Dutch and many cousins live in Amsterdam - along with many friends - and all have light airy spaces! I lived two years in The Hague and had an equally light space!]..and this makes me want to visit again. It's been too long
Mosaicwench, apparently the Dutch are the tallest people in the world (on average - so I've read).
The house is lovely.
very nice. source for the dining table?
I love this!! Where did you find that living room rug? It's the biggest eye-grabber. Pardon if that's posted somewhere- I did the cursory glance thing and didn't find it.
I love so much about this! The kitchen and living room, the graffiti in the stairwell, the brick walls, the terrace, the art, the floorboards, the funky and relaxed vibe. As soon as it got to the bathrooms and bedrooms, though, my apartment lust waned (except for the vintage medicine chest, which I lurved.)
Funny how finicky and deeply personal aesthetic opinion can be.
I love the space! The paper chandelier would totally stress me out though.
Awesome! I love the look of the white walls and modern shell chairs/ chandelier mixed with with the rational furniture! I especially love the garden!
Lovely. Just totally lovely and livable.
Absolutely wonderful.
I loved everything, but the staircase, which I found a little scary! LOL! Definitely wouldn't want to haul anything like laundry up and down that staircase, because I'm sure I would fall. I admit I'm clumsy. Otherwise, this space feels cheery and comfortable. Glad you were willing to share.
Those ENVE wheels are a bit of art, themselves.
one of my favorites so far.
Nice place, wish there were more pictures.
I love it! Piet Hein Eek is one of my favourite designers, as I do recycle design myself. And that buffet is gorgeous. The bathroom table with double sink is also a great idea.
This home is absolutely LUSCIOUS!! I love every square inch.
What an absolutely lovely home! So light and airy, lots of great elements throughout.
Always like to see what's going on in the world of Dutch interior design (They, next to the Japanese and the Italians, have some of the most exciting new ideas--My opinion, please)...And, as usual, I am not disappointed...Beautiful, fun, quirky house, I wonder what it's like on those marvelous fall days when there's a pot of soup on the stove? Well done, Maria and Eric!
Ditto, on this being one of my dream houses. Is there a stronger word than 'LOVE'? If yes, then that's how I feel about this home. Makes me all warm and fuzzy all over :-)
Honestly, this is my dream home office.
effortless, beautiful and comfortable - very livable
How fun to see a home tour and actually recognize the building! I'm your neighbor two doors down (#15), and I really should have you over and help me with my space too. Yours is amazing! See you on the backside. :)
Hi klarso, what a small world! I'm the one who's always running around the neighborhood with two loud little boys! Hope to meet you some day!

Meldrum, Jeff
Adult Nonfiction QL89.2.S2 M45 2006
Summary: In this landmark work on a subject too often dismissed as paranormal or disreputable, Jeffrey Meldrum gives us the first book on sasquatch to be written by a scientist with impeccable academic credentials, an objective look at the facts in a field mined with hoaxes and sensationalism. Meldrum reports on the work of a team of experts from a wide variety of fields who were assembled to examine the evidence for a large, yet undiscovered, North American primate. He reviews the long history of this mystery--which long predates the "bigfoot" flap of the late fifties--and explains all the scientific pros and cons in a clear and accessible style, amplified by over 150 illustrations. Anyone who has pondered the mysteries of human evolution will be fascinated and eager to join Dr. Meldrum in drawing their own conclusion.

Pisces Rising
Your psychological nature is adaptive and receptive, the exact opposite of the sign of Virgo whose very essence is to thoroughly analyze each thing, thus creating a permanent duality between the self and the outside world: conversely, Pisces absorb and wipe out any form of differentiation; with Pisces, there can be no opposition, no conflict, no individual reaction. There is only fusion, non-separation, perpetual and mobile spreading of the self over some sort of blurred but huge feeling of sympathy with the environment. It is the supreme reign of feelings and emotions over the intellect and its separating reason.
With this Ascendant, you come across as emotional, sensitive, dedicated, adaptable, nice, wild, compassionate, romantic, imaginative, flexible, opportunist, intuitive, impossible to categorized, irrational, seductive, placid, secretive, introverted, pleasant, artistic, and charming. But you may also be indecisive, moody, confused, wavering, lazy, scatterbrained, vulnerable, unpredictable and gullible.

Get Gossip-Worthy Lips!
Written on August 5, 2010 at 7:35 pm , by Fitness Magazine
SPOTTED: Gossip Girl filming in New York City! The glamorous cast is back for another drama-filled season. We caught them filming an upcoming scene at the Diane von Furstenberg store in the Meatpacking District. As eager fans crowded the sidewalk, we kept an eye out for our favorite cast member, Leighton Meester. She finally showed, wearing a gorgeous glittery frock and of course, her signature power pout.
This week, Leighton revealed the secret behind her luscious lips: Benefit's Benetint ($28, benefitcosmetics.com). The original rose-tinted lip and cheek stain is perfect for adding a natural flush to the face. The long-lasting color won't budge through workouts, office meetings, or in Leighton's case, steamy makeout scenes with on-again-off-again bad boy, Ed Westwick. Now that's something to gossip about!

Katy Perry Introduces Her New Fragrance!
Written on August 2, 2010 at 12:02 pm , by Fitness Magazine
You can't bottle up those vocals, but now you can steal her scent! Wearing a purple wig and a musical mini, Katy Perry introduced her new fragrance, Purr, to beauty editors last week. The delicious scent includes notes of apple, green bamboo, peach nectar, freesia, Bulgarian rose and vanilla orchid. All wrapped up in an adorable cat-shaped bottle — hand sketched by Katy herself — it's "purr-fect" for a holiday gift! We can't wait to get our hands (er, paws?) on one!

Ok, i started a VERY hot subject and now i want to see the best results made in one of those two software packages. You'll see the firestarter here:
Show the best of your program. Here are some of my personal Photoshop highlights (all of those images have already been posted here, so i hope you don't mind):
Let's get it on!
Nice. I moved this to a more appropriate place though. From now on, themed activity threads belong here.
ummm so whats the contest? i dont get it..
Hi there,
Yeah, this is a much better place for this thread. I was thinking of some concrete examples what one package can do that other doesn't.
But i think the idea is terribly stupid. It's about what you do, not what tools do you use.
So, i think this is a very stupid idea and this thread should be deleted.
Yay, magic tools, why didnt I thought of that
This idea si great, to show the noobs who makes those threads about what tools that should be used, or what brushes and so on (like myself)
so, it would be cool to have this thread, well I know myself it wont be anydifference on any of your works whatever you useing painter or
ps , different tools Thats the only difference...
I love to draw in Painter 5.03, but Photoshop is Photoshop..amazing to finish and format a work. Painter 9 is great too (mmm...captured bristle).
Use what ya like and you'll probably do your best work.

2007 BMW 5 Series 530i Review
BMW has always been known to be European performance automobiles. Handling is precise with a well connected feel to the road. My 530i has tight steering with excellent turning capabilities from the taut suspension and steering ratio. I cannot believe that I am getting such good gas mileage but it seems its near 30mpg on the freeway and 23mpg combined.
Cost of upkeep can be a challenge if you cannot source parts aside from the dealer. I typically find parts cheaper online through the various wholesale European supply houses.
Bmw, Bmw, How Do I Love Thee? Let Me Count The Ways. — I love the way the door goes "thunk" when I close it. I love the way the door opens when the key is still in my pocket. I love the way it starts with the press of a button. I love the way the sport seats grab me. I love the fact that my family is safe in it. I love the acceleration from 255hp and 220ft lbs of torque. I love the way you react to my input, quick and precise. I love the fact that this IS the mobile man cave. I love the fact that my BMW tech DOES NOT charge an arm nor leg for repairs. I love it that you light the way for me in the dark while driving and exiting the car at night. I love the way you make me feel when I ensconce myself upon the driver's seat, safe and secure.

2007 BMW 5 Series 530i Review
Comfortable, great handling for a sedan, excellent highway mpg (32)
Expensive to maintain after warranty. Nothing while warranty is in affect
Great Driver's Car — I don't like the way the throttle hesitates when taking off after a brief stop - like at a stop sign. However, the car never ceases to amaze me when accelerating on the highway. It just won't quit. Passing trucks on a two lane highway at any speed is accomplished with confidence. Also, the mpg on the highway is amazing for a car of this size, weight and power. At sustained speeds of 75 mph I average 32 mpg. One other pet peeve is that I cannot understand how a car that has navigation and knows where you are via satellite communication cannot set its own clock! If it knows where you are it certainly ought to know the time.
Primary Use: Family transportation

2007 BMW 5 Series 530i Review
At the very first look you can see that it is very stylish and great power. Has 255hp and the sport package adds another 20hp. Courtesy lighting is cool with path lighting and mirrors assisting parallel parking. This definitely is a dream car for many.
The back seat may use a little more leg room. Price and maintenance cost is high
Dream Come True — I liked - Pick up (it is just amazing normally and sport mode is just untouchable) - Luxury (driver and passenger seats have been designed very well as to make you feel comfortable but not forgetting about giving some driving experience - The passenger side mirror tilts and assists the driver for parallel parking which is a great thing specially in California where parallel parking is highly used.

Black Bimmer — Best car I have ever owned... durability, performance and handling are hard to beat with this or any BMW... The exterior and interior are still in showroom condition even after 106k miles... I drive 60 miles roundtrip 5 days a week to work... and have never been disappointed with the feel and performance of this great BMW...

Reliable, comfortable and powerful car
Not big enough for my expanding family...
This Is A Very Well Built Comfortable Car That Handles Extremely Well! — The 5 Series is a great looking machine that is technologically advanced and very enjoyable to drive as well as solid on the road. The build quality is as you would expect from a German made vehicle. It's a luxury car, yet does not go over the top with gizmos. Good gas milage if you drive sensibly, but has the capacity for serious acceleration and sports-like handling. It's loaded with safety features that make it a safe,l fun and very solid drive.

Bmw 5 Series — The 5 series is supremely agile, offers oodles of fun for the driver, the torquey diesel motor is amazingly refined with generates a lenier power output yet very frugal. Top marks for handling, build quality and ergonomics. The ride is a bit stiff - suspect the run flat tyres.

nice ggagagagagaass.
hahahah !!! she deserves it
this girl isnt dead yet
She fell off the piano years ago.
this new system rocks!!!
they probably thought that was apart of her crazy performance...nobody noticed lol
the only painful thing in this video was her singing
birdman.. sounded to me like she said "o shit im fine" as she sang. she fell off the piano at the 63rd emmys as well. obviously she should stop standing on the piano. also, id rather a artist lip sync *to be honest i dont think she does cause there is a pause in the lyrics when she falls and she says "o shit, im fiiiiiin!"* than for them to sing the national anthem and fuck up the words, like that most ecent artists in the past cpl years. although i still think aguillara was drunk at the time lol
Fuck Lada JewJew, I wish she died.
omg i hope she is ok. she is amazing and she has talent to keep singing!!!
its called lip-sink fool!
*lip-sync ...fool! :P
well maybe if she didn't act like a retarded kid having a seizure she wouldn't fall.
all of you-such horrible and mean insults! and you wonder why the world is full of hate! it all starts with and from you and these kind of comments! what would possess any of you to make such horrible accusations like that? you don't have to like someone, but to add the vilest comments is tantamount of your ignorance and perpetuating hatred. be kind to one another.
well head down ass up that's the way I like to fuck.
My friend dragged me to her concert one time. When she started doing that with the piano, I was just waiting for the stool to kick back. I'm glad it happened eventually.
looked pike a planned fall, she didn't miss a beat.
I hope she didn't hurt her balls when she fell.
what a trooper
there is a God
Her penis that is tucked in, helped 'her' break 'her' fall.
she made a great recovery !
Apparently her mutant powers don't include balance right? Get it? Cause shes an x-man...
my i hate her so goddam much
pulled her groin
Her penis was exposed
You were born that stupid lady gaga
If Lady Gaga sucks your d1ck.....are you g@y?
why are people supporting this train wreck, yet everyone feels sorry for amy winehouse?
lmfao! WIN!
It doesn't even bother her. She just gets back up and gets on with it like a professional.
I'm impressed, didn't miss a beat
Played it off like a champ.
That's why she makes the big bucks, showmanship!
Liberachsy's ghost strikes again
thats a dude
Tucking in her junk must have thrown off her equilibrium
She's as graceful as she is talented. Useless bitch...
that was a pro fall. as she fell she brought the mic to her mouth
Finkle is Einhorn - Einhorn is Finkle!
Damn, she is a dedicated lip syncher. I'll give her that much.
right on her back with her leggs open
That's the only way to have them
HAHAHAHAHA that was frickin' awesome. But felt sorry for the piano, hope the piano came out okay.
That's what I call professional, lady falls and keeps on singing
well the playback tape keeps playing so she had no choice

Sherlock and Irene
She had heard him ask the question, she knew it was coming, it was just a matter of when is senses caught up to him. Her tea cup rested on her lap, untouched as she fixed the hem on her dress. Irene placed her cup on the table, being careful not to spill any of the tea still in cup, getting colder by the second. Her eyes locked with his, her lips stretched into a smile, and she leaned forward a bit.
"Can't a dead girl visit the man who didn't save her?"
Her tone was joking and light, but hidden behind the sarcasm was a truth that she didn't want others to know. The real reason she kept coming back to play the game. Not just for the joy, or the fun. Not just for the challenge or to win. There was a bigger reason, one she would take to her grave, one that kept her up at night. She dared to hope that it didn't show on her face, that Sherlock hadn't picked up on it, for once. She enjoyed his company, no other man could or would challenge her so much with just a look. She kept coming back because deep down she knew there would be no one else to match him, no one else to see that glimmer in his eyes, no one else to play this great game with. She stuck by him, she even came back from the dead from him, she would do it all again. They were dangerous together and she knew it, she knew they would never truly be together but just being able to move his chess pieces was enough for her.
She got up from the chair, and leaned against the fireplace, taking a look at the skull. She couldn't look him in the eye anymore, he would know everything if she did. She didn't want to leave but she didn't want him to know. Struggling with herself, she trailed her finger along the mantle, walking towards the bookcase. While she waited for Sherlock's reply, she glanced at his book collection. Irene took in all the book titles, running her fingers over the spine. In her head, she either commented on how she had read it or that she had no interest in reading. It only took a minute for her to catalogue the whole bookcase in to neat little sections in her mind. She glanced at Sherlock from the corner of her eye, those blue eyes had nearly done her in more than a few times, and don't even get her started on those cheekbones. His mind was also another thing she also had to watch out for, it was probably the most dangerous out of them all.
Her thinking was interrupted by her phone buzzing in her pocket, she made no attempt to go answer it, not that she didn't care who was calling. Well not that she cared much, but whoever it was, could wait for now.
He huffed a little at the reply, as to indicate his lack of patience for such trivialities. After all, that which she as indicating was sentiment - something he had very little time for. Not to be misunderstood, he was fully aware of the jokingly light tone and he did not take the words seriously. Irene had stood up and moved towards the fireplace. Sherlock leaned back again, still observing her from the corner of his eye. His posture relaxed, palms flat against each other before his face in what John had dubbed his signature pose. But nonetheless, looking when he thought she wasn't looking, quietly observing until she'd moved beyond his range of vision.
She hadn't come here on a whim; arrangements had been made, they hadn't exactly run into each other on the street by accident - though when one was dealing with Irene one must question even an occasion as that to be accident. She definitely had her reasons for being here, there was no question about it. Alas, she had chosen not to share them with him. He'd expected no different, but had perhaps hoped for a bit more of a clue. For a second he wondered if there was something about the note he might have missed, thought if perhaps he'd been to quick to burn it. But there was no use in considering that now, the note was gone.
Seconds of silence passed, Irene feigning interest in his bookshelf - unless she'd actually developed an interest in one of the very few silly whims he allowed himself. Perhaps it was some form of subconscious unintended reference as to how she was literally trying to read him. He deleted most of the books after he'd read them, but he found that not only was the process in itself gratifying but it also served a certain purpose by helping him understand the motivation of different characters. There were no detective stories among the books, something that sometimes surprised people. Sherlock thought the reason obvious - their sole purpose was to mislead before finally revealing the answer, and when the misdirection failed as it was bound to with the younger Holmes brother they became dreadfully boring very quickly. She was now only a blurry figure in the very outskirts of his vision, but he refused to show any great interest by re-adjusting. This was his home, after all, and he wouldn't skitter around to please her. She must've known he'd see through such a power play.
It became clear that Ms Adler had no intention of further elaborating on her statement, however much his silence was meant to prompt her.
"Well I trust you'll let me know what's going on before trouble breaks down my door."
False. He didn't trust the woman in front of him, not in the traditional sense. They were playing a game, and all games had rules. There were certain things that were not allowed to be brought into play between them, too. Adler would take precautions that her moves didn't affect more than Sherlock; John, Mrs Hudson and even Mycroft were off-limits - of course, if Mycroft decided to play his own games that was an entirely different matter, and quite irrelevant now that she was 'dead'. Sherlock, in return, had let her death bring a fresh slate, cancelling out any wins and losses up until then. It was more fun when neither party had bitterness festering. So yes, while he trusted the brunette to follow these very basic rules, he expected nothing more. He hardly had data for any further conclusions.
In the relative silence he heard the phone buzzing, but as she made no attempt to answer he waved his hand dismissively. "Go ahead, but do let them know you're a little tied up at the moment." He almost managed to hide his smirk.

Eau Claire (WQOW) - A western Wisconsin lawmaker is taking heat for comments he made about rape.
Last December, State Representative Roger Rivard was discussing a case surrounding a 17-year-old high school senior with a Chetek newspaper. The student was charged with the sexual assault of an underage girl in the school's band room. During the conversation, Rivard told the paper when he was younger, his father told him that 'some girls rape easy' as a way to warn Rivard that a woman could agree to have sex, but later claim it wasn't consensual. He says the comment was taken out of context.
Rivard, a Republican, is seeking re-election in the 75th Assembly District. WQOW News 18 reached out to Rivard's campaign about the comment, but did not hear back.
On Thursday, two Republicans also running in the fall election denounced the comment. In statements, U.S. Senate candidate Tommy Thompson and Congressman Sean Duffy said rape is a serious matter and the comments were inappropriate. Congressman Duffy also donated $500 Rivard gave to his campaign to the Center Against Sexual and Domestic Abuse in Superior.
Wausau - Congressman Sean Duffy released the following statement today in response to the inappropriate remarks made by Wisconsin state Rep. Roger Rivard:
"No one should ever, under any circumstance, diminish or trivialize rape. As a father of four young girls, I condemn Rep. Rivard's absurd and inappropriate comments. As a former prosecutor, I witnessed first hand that rape is a heinous crime and that the victims are deeply and forever affected by this disgusting act."
Rep. Rivard had made two financial contributions to Congressman Duffy's 2010 and 2012 campaigns. Immediately upon learning of these indefensible remarks, the campaign donated the totality of that money - $500 – to the Center Against Sexual and Domestic Abuse in Superior.
Madison - Former Governor Tommy Thompson released the following statement in response to state Representative Roger Rivard's offensive and indefensible remarks.
"As a husband, a father of two daughters and the grandfather of six beautiful granddaughters, I am offended by state Representative Rivard's indefensible remarks," said Thompson. "We must take instances of rape and sexual assault seriously and hold the perpetrators accountable to the utmost degree."

The Blake Project, the brand consultancy behind Branding Strategy Insider, delivers interactive brand education workshops and keynote speeches designed to align marketers on essential concepts in brand management and empower them to release the full potential of the brands they manage.
The Language Of Brand Namesby Steve Rivkin
Names not just "are," they "do." As a part of language, names identify a business or brand, but also subtly suggest certain types of action.
To explain, we must wade into the pond of language. Scholars have pointed out that every utterance has three functions:
# The locutionary function involves what the expression denotes.
# The illocutionary entails how it functions as a speech act, which philosophers of language define as an utterance considered as an action.
# Perlocutionary functions include all the effects an utterance has on the receiver.
Brand names, like other words, use all three functions. The reigning authority on the illocutionary function, John R. Searle, has identified five basic types of speech acts in his text Speech Acts: An Essay in the Philosophy of Language. Here are four of these speech acts as they perform bits of business in brand names.
Representatives commit the speaker to the truth of the expressed proposition: They swear, report, assert or conclude. Toys "R" Us. A pet day care and boarding establishment called Pets Preferred. The name of action is built into two Canadian discount airline brands, Canjet and Jetsgo.
Directives attempt to get the reader to do something: They command, exhort, urge. Guess jeans. A dance studio called Jump to It; a chain of paint shops, Color Your World. The insect repellent Off! A Microsoft imaging software product called Picture It!
Commissives commit to some future course of action: They promise, threaten, offer, vow. A deodorant will Ban; a shampoo will Amplify. Software promises to Excite. Or one undertakes to Hide-A-Bed.
Expressives express a psychological state: They think, apologize, welcome, congratulate. Glad trash bags. Or a brand of diapers, Happy to be Nappy.
In strictly literal terms, a brand name wants the customer to buy a product or service. But in terms of speech acts, a lot more is going on.

Always a lot more than what we know IS happening all the time. It's nothing new. But regarding language even "a lot more" seems an understatement compared to what advertising agencies are generally blind to. Rarely you see a campaign that profits on the array of opportunities that are exposed by the effect of a clever use of language, the clique of 80% of commercial messages could be conceived in 15 minutes, agencies still invest most of their efforts ( and budget sometimes ) in "creativity", disregarding the importance of knowledge in their creative staff. But creativity without knowledge is humor at most. It has to be enlightened by a sound background in communication and psychology.
There is a ton that goes into one word. Each word has word parts that add meaning and connotation. This is crucial to remember when choosing a business name or creating a unique word for your business name. This post is great, right up my alley!

Morning Show Update
May 31, 2006
Welcome to the Update
Freddie Bell, velvet morning voice talent and former station manager of Solid Gold Radio (KSGS – 950) is a mellifluous voice actor, broadcast-journalist and speaker who is also a National Voice Actor. His vast voice over credits, include hosting several radio programs including the Tom Joyner Morning Show, The Love Train, It's The Gospel, The Freddie Bell Morning Show in radio, plus This is Music, The Freddie Bell Countdown Show and The Minneapolis NAACP Community Affairs television Programs in Minneapolis.
Rapper Foxy Brown will face assault charges on July 17th when her trial begins in Manhattan Criminal court. Brown, who rejected a plea deal, is facing misdemeanor charges of assault, attempted assault, and harassment for allegedly punching and kicking two employees at the Bloomie Nail Salon in New York City in August 2004, after they allegedly refused to let her leave the salon over a monetary dispute. Allhiphop.com reports that Manhattan Criminal Court Judge Gerald Harris set the trial date on Friday (May 26th), and he issued orders of protection for the two manicurists that Brown allegedly assaulted.
According to the two alleged victims, Myoung Yi and Sun Ji Song, Brown began to physically assault them at about 10 p.m. on August 27th, 2004, after she got a pedicure, but was denied a manicure because of the late hour. The conflict turned physical when the two workers attempted to stop the rapper from leaving the salon and later from getting into her car. She allegedly struck one employee multiple times in the face and body with a cell phone in her closed fist and also hit the manager of the salon.
After trying to keep The Big Bang under lock and key for several months, Busta Rhymes has been victimized, as his upcoming album has been leaked to the Internet. A representative for Interscope Records told SOHH.com, "The album that leaked is not the final track listing." According to the rapper's label, the leaked version contains 18 songs, while the official version only has 15 tracks. Additionally, some of the song titles are incorrect on the leaked version. The album is due out June 13th.
Rapper and actor DMX is prepping for the release of his new album, The Year Of The Dog, Again, and he's also contemplating a name change. He told MTV.com, "It's just the whole Dark Man thing. Because if you look at it, from a spiritual point of view, the Bible teaches us that we can speak things into existence… And Dark Man, you know, it may not be the best name for me."
The rapper, who hopes to become a preacher when his rap days are over, recently released a new single, "Lord Give Me A Sign," which was produced by Scott Storch. DMX explained, "The Scott Scorch thing… he charges $80,000 a beat, very expensive. We bought two (beats), and he gave me the beat (for 'Lord Give Me a Sign') for free. So it was ironic that the potentially biggest song on the album would be given to us for free. On every album, there's a gospel song or a prayer. The song's either a conversation with the Lord or just a reference to how much I love the Lord and what I'm willing to do… We got the beat, and I heard the beat, and I was like, 'Lord, give me a sign!' The beat created the song, and I just ran from there."
Xzibit will be back as the host of MTV's popular car makeover show Pimp My Ride when the show kicks off its fifth season on June 15. SOHH.com reports that the cars will no longer be made over at West Coast Customs. Xzibit and Mad Mike will be tricking the cars out at Galipin Auto Sports. • MTV will air four-hour blocks of Pimp My Ride on Sunday (June 4) and again on June 11th in anticipation of the new season.
In related news, Xzibit's next movie project is Gridiron Gang, opposite Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. The film, which hits theaters on September 15th, follows the Rock's character as he attempts to assemble a football team of juvenile inmates to play against local high school teams. Xzibit will play the team's assistant coach.
Singer and actress Beyonce will celebrate her 25th birthday by releasing her second solo album titled B'Day on September 5th, a day after her actual birthdate. The new album will feature music co- written, arranged, and produced by Beyonce.
The first single will be "Deja Vu" featuring Jay-Z with co-production by Rodney Jerkins. Other co-producers on B'Day include Rich Harrison, The Neptunes, and Swizz Beatz.
Fans of the bootylicious singer will get a second helping of Beyonce music when the soundtrack to the Dreamgirls is released as a joint venture between Sony Urban Music/Columbia Records and Music World Music. Beyonce stars in the long-awaited screen musical along with Jamie Foxx, Eddie Murphy, Danny Glover, Anika Noni Rose, and Jennifer Hudson. The film opens December 22nd.
Beyonce completed recording B'Day just three weeks after the wrap of Dreamgirls. The new album is the follow-up to her smash 2003 solo debut Dangerously In Love, which earned the Houston native five Grammy Awards.
Mention athletic wear maker Nike to Rihanna and the top-charting singer's face lights up. The Barbadian native signed a deal with Nike earlier this year to represent Nike's dancewear line, and is featured in a dance routine video featuring her Number One song "S.O.S." at the company's website.
At a recent festival performance, I asked Rihanna about her Nike deal. She said: "Yeah, oh my gosh. Me and Nike just teamed up on a marketing partnership. They were looking for a young strong female to represent their new women's fitness line. And then they called me and when they called me I was thrilled to team up with them, and it's going great so far. We just shot the video, well not just, but it just premiered on NikeWomen.com featuring 'S.O.S.'"
San Francisco Giants outfielder Barry Bonds made baseball history again Sunday (May 28th) by hitting his 715th career homer, breaking the record held by baseball legend Babe Ruth for second place on the all- time home-run list. Bonds' milestone came in the fourth inning against the Colorado Rockies, just one week after he tied Ruth's record during an interleague game against the Oakland Athletics.

For all the disappointment with Facebook's public debut, a ton of money was there to be made. Here's a look at some insiders, banks and traders who cashed in -- and how you may have gotten a cut, too.
I had not doubt that this was going to be a fiasco except for the guys that were trying to push it, look like people are waking up. Who is going to buy stocks of a company based on smoke ? I never used facebook and will never use it, this is another trend that will pass as fast as it surged.
Why would anybody want to place all private information on public places like all these so called "Social Media" sites is beyond any logical reason.
It is like a welcome to hackers and identity thieves.

Kars 4 Kids, American Cancer Society: Who is Most Generous To Various Charities?
Tzedekah is a very important pillar of Judaism — people are encouraged and required under the tenets of Judaism to give charity.: : So whether its donating a car to: Kars 4 Kids: or the American Red Cross who gives the most donations:
- Generally, Republicans give more than twice what Democrats give in charitable contributions of all sorts.: : In 2008 a book was written which showed that while Democrats have higher household incomes, Republicans tend to donate more monies.
- The Chronicle of Philanthropy: had a survey which shows that religious people of all sorts tithe due to their religious beliefs — and then thereafter donation trends change.
o: : : The most generous state in the country is Utah — where households in Provo, Utah, give away the most as a percentage – 13.9% of discretionary income.: : In second-place amongst states is Mississippi at 7.2%. Of course, Mormans "headquarters" is in Utah — and like Mitt Romney they tend to give generously to the Morman Church.
o: : : The others in the top five aren't Morman heavy states — but are heavy evangelical places -: Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee and South Carolina.
One wonders indeed which party is the true kinder gentler party.: : Giving is good for you.

Details for Mares Eos 3
Mares Eos 3:
The beginning of a new era
• High-Power mono LED
• Consistent light intensity
• Long burn time
EOS 3 is the beginning of a new era in the field of torches! The EOS 3 is a powerful and compact diving torch with a High-Power 3 W mono LED, providing an incredible light output of 7.000lux, equivalent to a 30W halogen bulb and characterized by a focused 200mm diameter hot spot.
Color temperature of 6400°Kelvin.
Electronic voltage supply control of the LED ensures a consistent light for the entire rated burn time which is 5 hours with 8 standard AA batteries.
A careful choice of materials makes this a rugged, wear-resistant torch able to withstand depths up to 100 mt / 330ft.
It also features an anti-shock rubber protection on the anodized aluminium head and a tubular ergonomic handle with a magnetic sliding switch; the latter features ON and OFF positions with mechanical safety catch.
The compact dimensions allow you to store the EOS 3 in the BC pocket.
Length: 178mm; Width (head): 60mm; Width (tubular handle): 33mm. Adjustable strap.
You can't get any more light from such a compact lamp! And the "goddess of the dawn" (Greek: Eos) is a real bargain as well. Read on to find out what else this Mares-developed lamp has to offer...
Mares strikes out on it's own in terms of lamp construction, so you will never be left in the dark.
Eos 3 is the beginning of a new era, because this little powerhouse comes directly from our research and development department in Rapallo.
Eos 3 was intended to be powerful and compact.
And indeed, the high-power 3 W mono LED lets a lux meter measure up to a whooping 10,000 lux at a distance of one meter!
Translated into the power of a halogen bulb, this is equivalent to 30 watt!!! Unlike traditional technology, this light yield lasts because an electronic LED voltage control ensures a consistent light intensity throughout the entire 5 hours of burn-time.
So you won't run out of light at the wrong time, Mares' developers chose eight regular AA batteries (or rechargeable AA batteries) for this model.
Big output, small dimensions: Hard to believe that this much light can radiate from a 178 mm lamp!
And this fact comes in very handy on vacation and during the dive, because the Eos 3 can be easily stowed in the BC pocket.
The award-winning Mares design team (Red Dot Award 2010 for the X-Stream fin) has developed a torch body you won't want to put down again.
The ergonomic handle results in effortless handling and intuitive actuating of the switch with the thumb.
The anodized torch head is encased in a rubber shock protection cap. By the way: The magnetic switch can be put into three different positions: locked, on, and off.
What else do you need besides an Eos 3- Nothing except darkness, caves, and crevices, so the "goddess of the dawn" can live up to its full potential!

I also use to wok for Amscott and it sounds like they have not change their work ethics. When I went for training, I was almost accused of cheating because me and this other girl that sat with me on the final test both received 100%. When I was assigned a facility, it was so small, both men & women employees had to share the same bathroom. We were not allowed to go anywhere durring breaks and lunches, and if you were in the middle of your break or lunch and they started to get busy, you were expected to stop eating and help out until thet were not busy anymore. I also remember durring slow times, they would cut your hours from 40 down to almost 33-35 per week. When I called HR about this, they told me that Amscott is considered retail not a financial facility.

oz diva:
I'm pretty sure Australia is the only country where voting in elections is mandatory. This counts for all government elections from local council to Federal. If we don't vote we are fined about $50. It doesn't stop people from making an invalid vote, but everyone has to turn up to the voting place - usually schools, church halls and the like. Elections are always held on a Saturday so everyone gets the chance to vote. The only way you can get out of it is if you are incapacitated or overseas. Even my colleague's disabled daughter had to vote (or explain why did couldn't). I forgot to vote (via mail) in a local council election and I was fined.
But am I right, is Australia alone in making voting compulsory?
Millionaire Maria:
Well I can't speak for the rest of the world, but in Canada it's perfectly legal to not vote.
Another reason to like Australia. ;)
No, you don't legally have to vote in the USA. But I was raised to consider it a civic duty.
I may be wrong, but I think brazil also has compulsory elections.
--- Quote from: wheeitsme on September 21, 2011, 12:38:06 AM ---Another reason to like Australia. ;)
No, you don't legally have to vote in the USA. But I was raised to consider it a civic duty.
--- End quote ---
I consider it my civic duty also, and I've never missed a general election. However, I'm glad it's not legally mandated that citizens must vote.

The capacity of carrageenan to enhance the primary humoral immune response to foreign erythrocytes was assessed using the Jerne plaque assay. It was found that kappa-carrageenan had an adjuvant effect for both the IgM and IgG response of BALB/c mice to sheep red blood cells. This adjuvant effect was dependent on the dose of carrageenan administered, the genetic background of the experimental animals (BALB/c, C57BL/6, and BALB/c x C57BL/6 F₁ hybrid mice were used), the time of carrageenan injection (relative to antigen), and the type of carrageenan used (kappa-, iota-, and lambda-carrageenans were used).
The direct addition of kappa-carrageenan to cultures of spleen cells also had an adjuvant effect for the anti-SRBC responses. This in vitro effect depended on the dose of carrageenan added, the genetic background of the spleen cell donors, and the type of carrageenan used.
In order to assess the mode of action of carrageenan's (in vivo) immunostimulatory activity, the capacity of spleen cells from mice which had been injected with carrageenan to modulate an in vitro immune response was studied. It was found that carrageenan-treated cells released of soluble factor(s) which enhanced the in vitro anti-sheep red blood cell response of murine spleen cells. The amount of enhancement observed in vitro was directly correlated to the dose of carrageenan given in vivo suggesting that inducing the release of soluble enhancing factor(s) was the basis for carrageenan's adjuvant effect.
Cell fractionation experiments revealed that the soluble enhancing factor(s) was produced by a non-adherent T-cell and that cell-cell interactions were involved in its production. The possibility that the soluble enhancing factor was interleukin 2 was discussed.

Why Not Self Publish a Book?
Adam Carolla on Book Publishers by bxnx
(Note some language. And by some, kind of a lot.)
While listening to Adam Carolla's great podcast, the topic of publishing came up. To sum up the clip, Adam Carolla wants to publish a second audiobook for "In Fifty Years We'll All Be Chicks" and the deal his publisher has offered is that he gets a 25% cut of profits while they keep 75%.
I can't help but wonder why anyone would seek out using a major book publisher?
If you have a following, you don't need a publisher. You have blogs, podcasts, twitter, Facebook, mailing lists, etc. to let fans know when your work is out. You can release it immediately, price it at whatever you want, do whatever promotions you feel like, and essentially have complete control over the entire process.
If you don't have a following, all the blood, sweat, & tears you spend trying to get the attention of a major publishers could be used to market a self-published book. Even if you get a publisher, it doesn't guarantee anything. You still have to hustle your book and work for every sale and hope it pays off enough to where you see some of the royalties.
I'm not sure why Amanda Hocking chose to go with a publisher after having so much success on her own. It may have been the "secure" choice, but I'm not sure it's the wisest. Barry Eisler recently walked away from a $500,000 deal to self publish. The barrier to entry is gone. An unlike the music industry, book publishers can't flaunt a "Top 40" or "radio station for books" that's easily digestible to audiences.
A great quote from a recent interview with Barry Eisler better explains this:
"There's a saying about the railroads: they thought they were in the railroad business, when in fact they were in the transportation business. So when the interstate highway system was built and trucking became an alternative, they were hit hard. Likewise, publishers have naturally conflated the specifics of their business model with the generalities of the industry they're in. As you say, they're not in the business of delivering books by paper–they're in the business of delivering books. And if someone can do the latter faster and cheaper than they can, they're in trouble."
Again, why not self publish?

0. Start Up.
I remember sending the prototype of textslide to a few friends. A few days and tweets later, the press wanted to write about it. It's something I never expected from a quick weekend project.
A few days after being covered, investors wanted to invest in it (more on this later). Again, something I never expected from a weekend project.
You never know what will happen and that's the most exciting yet scariest part of starting up.

From pies and tarts to fishcakes, curries and casseroles, savoury recipes are the mainstay of everyone's repertoire. With almost 1400 recipes on the site, there are literally hundreds of mouthwatering ideas to choose from...
Parmesan-coated Fish with Walnut Romesco Sauce
Use any firm white-fleshed fish such as cod, haddock or pollack for this recipe. Dusting the fish with flour and Parmesan adds a lovely golden crust. The Romesco sauce - made from walnuts - is the finishing touch.
Mixed Smoked Fish Kedgeree with a Creme Fraiche and Parsley Sauce
A lovely creamy sauce binds the rice, eggs and smoked fish together, making this the most luxurious and satisfying kedgeree on record!
Mussels with Garlic Stuffing
Garlicky, sea-fresh mussels are a real treat...and are surprisingly cheap too. Enjoy them with lots of bread for a simple lunch or starter.
Moroccan Baked Chicken with Chickpeas and Rice
Chicken pieces simmered with chickpeas, peppers and olives in a saffron-flavoured rice with coriander and lemons – hope you like it.
Mashed Black-eyed Beancakes with Ginger Onion Marmalade
Black-eyed beans are the lovely nutty beans that are popular in recipes from the deep south of America and, with the addition of other vegetables, they make very good beancakes.
Luxury Smoked-fish Pie
I first introduced this in 1978, but I've changed it into less of a family supper dish and into something more suitable for entertaining. Serve it with some sprigs of watercress for garnish, and I always think fish pie is lovely with fresh peas.
Mini Focaccia Bread with Blue Cheese, Garlic and Thyme Topping
Focaccia is an Italian flat bread made with olive oil. The flavour of the oil is important, so it's advisable to use a good, strong, fruity virgin olive oil for this.
Parsnip, Parmesan and Sage Bread
I love to serve this bread with Curried Parsnip and Apple Soup with Parsnip Crisps, as it extends the parsnip flavour, but it's also good with tomato or any other soup.
Malaysian Spicy Lemon Chicken
Fresh and fragrant, lemony and lovely, and so, so quick!
Omelette Savoyard
This is very good served in wedges with a baby spinach salad
