Unconscious Epiphany.Unconscious Epiphany.I thrive and depend on your complimentsAnd it is only then as a direct consequence,Am I truly able to write with confidence.Even though your words are only temporary.I deem your contribution as utterly necessary,In order to refresh my wavering, selective memory.My own validation depends on your approval.Whether it is congratulatory or discouragingly brutal.Your input is the one thing that is most crucial.Can I call myself a writer if I don't believe in myself?When I constantly seek approval from everyone else?How can I then expect to make any sort of wealth?Of a craft and skill I still think anyone is able to produce.Is there any point in me putting my apparent talent to use?When I limit and submit myself into a negative recluse.I was told I must have self belief in order to achieve,The dream that I am so desperately trying to receive.The body can only accomplish what the mind believes.I know I must rid myself from any form of self doubt.Proudly

The Desert RoseWith eyes the colour of the cloudless sky,And hair like mighty dunes of sand,She moves elusively and yet with such grace;It is a dangerous sort of beauty.Her eyes snap sharply into mine,Whenever my gaze lingers a second too long.Her stare traps mine own in place and soI stay there frozen with fear... or is it awe?I would love to tell myselfThat such a flower is not meant for me,But I would only be lying to myselfBecause I love the thrill of the game.I truly do admire her spirit,Like the Great Pyramids it stands tall,Against all odds,Never bending an inch...A fascination overwhelms me even now.Can I even hope to keep up,Or has the game already been wonBy the Desert Rose?

We love our tees and hoodies so much we could talk about them all day, but that'd be a bit weird. So we'll just say that we're immensely proud of the quality of all our garments and the super futuristic technology that creates our unique t-shirts and hoodie prints. Our t-shirts are long lasting, individual and extremely useful for abiding by public decency laws.
We advise you cold wash your garments and hang them out to dry. It'll keep them super soft, looking their best and it's even good for the environment.
Slim fit, order a size up if you'd like it less fitting. If you like your hoodies baggy, go two sizes up.

Second-Time Baby Showers?
Georgie Hockett: When you have your first baby shower, it's a big deal -- registries, decorations, themes. For a second shower, do you do it all up again, or go casual?
My good friend, who also happens to be a party planner/wedding coordinator, says it's strictly up to the mother and father; so that means, it's up to the mother. "If the second baby is a different gender than the first, it's more acceptable to have another shower," she told me. "Because now you need all new boy or girl baby clothes."
A smaller, more intimate shower is another way to go. Just invite your core group of friends, have lunch, and cherish a last meal with your best friends ... at least, the last meal together for a little while.
Personally, I say "absolutely yes" to a second shower. As a second child myself, I feel the second child always gets the shaft, and it starts from birth. There's not the same level of excitement about the second pregnancy; it seems parents never take as many pictures of the second child as they did with the first; that child is destined for a lifetime of hand-me-downs and "Oh, you're so-and-so's little sister." This kid deserves his/her own shower.
Themes -- such as asking guests to bring their favorite children's book as a gift -- are a unique way to make the shower different from the first. After all, let's be realistic: you probably don't need all the major equipment that you needed the first time around.
|Georgie Hockett is the co-founder (and original bride!) of A Grand Wedding.com, the only online resource featuring wedding vendors with a service or product under a thousand dollars. Georgie is also the author of two chick-lit novels. Mom of one.
Personally, we chose not to accept a 2nd shower although offered from my mom, mom-in-law, and an aunt. We also chose not to find out gender, as we did with our first. Same gender or nor, the 2nd child will always be 2nd. Yes, they receive some hand me downs, etc but there are also many plus such as parents being more comfortable and confident, more vocal about what they think is best for their child etc. which to us is priceless and worth more than any baby shower gift. On a side note though, my mom came in from out-of town and surprised me with a brunch a few weeks before 2nd baby with 3 aunts and mom-in-law; no presents other than paying for brunch, and again, their time and presence (not present) were priceless. So the idea for a special get-together is a lovely suggestion ;-).

So the idea for a special get-together is a lovely suggestion ;-).
My shower for daughter the 1st didn't have a theme. I didn't register with any store.
Being from a family in a small Southern town, my aunts hosted my shower for my first daughter and for my second.
I did use some of daughter the 1st's things for daughter the 2nd, but she had new things also.
My girls, now 9 & 11, have always had different tastes. Girl 1 never cared for Barbie & likes athletic wear. Girl 2 could spend hours changing Barbie's clothes & loves dresses,jewelry & polishing her nails.
I think even baby #6 deserves a celebration & some new things all their own.
My kids are 7 years apart, 1st one a girl and 2nd one a boy. My sister offered to throw a shower and I certainly accepted because I had absolutely nothing! I haver thrown my friends' 2nd showers. They were more low key than their 1st.
Are you kidding? Do you really think a baby cares that they are wearing hand-me-downs? If you're truly "celebrating" the baby, if that's you're excuse for having a second shower, then why not have a party after the baby is born - a meet and greet? One of our friends had a second baby and shower (different gender) 2 years after the first. I understand baby clothes and items that the first child will be using simultaneously, but she registered for new everything - a new pack n' play, a new crib, new bouncy seat, new swing, etc. Ridiculous. No wonder there's so much waste in the world!
I am now pregnant with my third and it's a nine year difference between this one and my daughter. I am not asking anyone for a shower not even his family, which will be his first (and last) child for him. It's a huge undertaking to feed people, rent a locale, etc. I will most likely send out announcements after the birth to garner a few gifts that way.
The purpose of a baby shower is to 'shower' the new mother with gifts. It's not acceptable to ask your friends and family to fund your reproductive choices. If you'd like to celebrate the new baby, have a 'meet the baby' party, where gifts are not the main focus.
A baby shower for a second child is crass, desparate and uncouth.
"Crass, desparate and uncouth" are pretty strong words!! Why not celebrate each child? It doesn't have to be about gifts, but especially if the 2nd or 3rd child is a different gender then what is the big deal?!? And what if there is a huge age gap? It is not about having others fund your reproductive choices either. It's fun to celebrate life! And celebrating life is not "desparate" or desperate.
our shower for our first daughter was coed and we had dinner and games and the whole nine yards. we were very blessed and got everything we needed.
so a few years later when we found out we were having another girl, we were set. my pals insisted that they throw me a "sprinkle". it was only my closest pals and very low key. people brought essential gifts like diapers and baby lotion.
i don't think that a sprinkle is crass or desperate at all. it was nice to still celebrate the new life! we didn't ask for gift, in fact we ask people not bring gifts, but they still did.
"Crass, desparate and uncouth" seriously? i don't think so. i had a big shower for my first and a sprinkle for my second. very low key, i asked for no gifts…but people brought diapers. we just had good food and good friends and celebrated the new life that was about to join us. it was lovely. uncouth, i think not.
Wow, I must be very "Crass, desparate and uncouth" since I have 3 boys, 3 years apart, and had a shower for each of them. Want to know why? I donated every single baby item I had after I was done with it from Number 1. Every single thing. Never expected any more kids. So when Number 2 rolled around, I was totally unprepared. But guess what… almost everything I had for Number 2 was donated to me. Again, I freecycled or donated everything I could from Number 2. And when Number 3 came, despite the birth control pills, I was again totally unprepared. Lucky Number 3 was born in a new town, where I had new co-workers and new friends, so he got pretty much everything new, WHICH I DIDN'T ASK FOR, by the way. Think I've learned my lesson? Nope, youngest is now 3 and I have absolutely no baby gear in the house, all of it freecycled again or donated to our local women's shelter. I sure hope hubby's vasectomy holds up.
If someone offers to throw you a shower, I say take them up on it! It's fun to get together with friends and family, and if anyone doesn't like it, they can simply reply "No" to the invite.
My second was born when my first was 4, but I had kept most of our things (or got them back after lending them out). However, my work INSISTED on throwing a shower (they do for anyone pregnant, regardless of which pregnancy), and it was a fun event where everyone brought in their children and we all visited and I got advice from those with two children. Showers don't have to be all gift, gifts, gifts. It's often more fun when it's just friends telling stories, offering advice, giving hugs and words of encouragement, etc.
I think every baby is a gift from God, whether it be your 1st, 2nd, ect. If someone wants to host you a baby shower then I say, smile and gladly accept the offer. Ask how you may help to contribute toward the shower, for we all know that they can be costly.
your the best blogger i have ever seen, your post is very nice, lot of quality article, i must bookmark your site for sure

Converting Garage to Bedroom
I am considering making our roughly 300 sq ft single car attached into a bedroom and 1/2 bath. There is no current access from the garage to the house and it sits about 2 1/2 ft lower than the house. The garage appears to sit on a concrete slab which has a few small cracks on the outside. We would most likely need to raise the floor a few inches and build a new one.
Any concerns with garage converts that I would need to know before considering this further? I didn't know if anyone who was well versed in building codes could enlighten me before I go to our building inspector.
Level the concrete by pouring more concrete because it was slightly sloped to allow it to drain.
Ours had Sheetrock which we removed in order to put insulation in the walls.Here in Alabama the walls and ceilings in garages are not insulated. We also had to have insulation blown in the attic.
Ours was lower like yours which enabled me to put a return air register in the wall to the crawl space to heat and cool it without using a window unit.
We already had a door off the kitchen to the garage. And a back exit and added sliding glass doors to the outside and a fireplace on the new wall.
Does Alabama have a "frost line"? That is, in the winter is there a depth that the ground normally freezes to? Or are freezing temperatures in winter more the exception than the rule where you live?
You also need heat, light and ventilation. An egress (escape) window is required, with minimum size per your local code enforcement. You need a 3' wide hallway or room to access the bedroom from in the house. The window installed has to be 3' minimum to the overhead electrical service. And 3' minimum from a gas meter. Service panel cannot be in a bathroom. Smoke detectors required inside and outside bedroom in adjoining hall. Arc fault service interrupter (AFCI) required for bedroom. Minimum space for bath fixtures and a vent required (fan or opening window).
Be safe, G
I agree with "GBR" as all that is great advice, also be sure to get a permit... You can get a home owners permit and that will require you adhereing to local codes and inspections, however it is best this way because if you ever sell and want to include the new room as part of the overall square footage, you "legally" can't unless the new build was permitted..

Unstuffy Dining Rooms
We fondly remember our childhood home and and all the quirks that came along with growing up there. For example, even though we had a dining room, it was only used for special occasions (Thanksgiving and Christmas). We always felt that our formal dining room was a wasted space--and that if it weren't so stuffy it might've been enjoyed more than twice a year...
The first thing we noticed about all of these dining rooms was the inclusion of an informal dining room table. Because the tables aren't fancy, it won't be a problem if you spill a drink or want to use the space for crafting or reading the paper. In addition, you could also use mismatched dining room chairs to make each space even more laid-back. Each room is kept accessible by sticking to soft backdrop colors like yellows, earth blue and white. We also noticed that artwork is kept to a minimum with most of the dining rooms relying on beautiful overhead lighting (or a great view) which acts as the focal point.

Not necessarily, ladymantle. LOL
We (DH & I, full disclosure) have a small house too, and no nooks near the kitchen for informal dining, and were recently offered a beautiful oak dining set (round to ellipsoid dining table and 6 chairs w upholstered seats). We thought long and hard about it, but in the end turned down that generous offer to keep our lives informal and easy. The existing table is unfinished maple... unfancy, just as above, and we use it at least twice a day, and more on weekends. It's a wonderful, informal, comfortable room, made all the more exciting by the ... wait for it... RED walls! Great garden views, too. Substantial chandelier.
Perhaps someday DH and I will feel it's necessary to cover up our oxblood red walls with something more soothing, but it works for us for now.
sweet! we also grew up in a home with a waste-of-space formal dining room, complete with sharp-cornered glass table and pale silver carpet. nice for spilling on.
we have a 50s kitchen table in our dining room, which sees more "living" than the living room.
(ladymantle, are you new? you'll get used to "we" very quickly. it's standard around here.)
i don't have a dinning room or even a nook...that's one of my challenges!
We (Mr. Jonnifer and I) have a separate dining room, but we keep it pretty casual - an old table we bought off Craigslist and then 8 mismatched chairs that I painted red. Everything is scratched or watermarked, so I never care about coasters or people spilling, etc. I think that's the key to having a dining room that doesn't feel stuffy- your attitude towards the things in it.
Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe the use of "we" is a stylistic usage common among publications. Newspapers, magazines etc. The usage is common when giving editorial opinion.
"I think that's the key to having a dining room that doesn't feel stuffy- your attitude towards the things in it." Well said, jonnifer. I completely agree. And have you ever noticed that things within dining rooms can influence our reaction/attitude to the overall room--just like your post portrayed?
A couple of things I've noticed about "formal" dining rooms:
1) "delicate" things are normally displayed: glass, crystal, expensive silver, porcelain, fine china...you name it. People become more tense because they don't want to damage anything. As long as anything fragile is not visible and any ornate or formal furniture looks sturdy, the dining room is automatically less stuffy.
2) formal dining rooms tend to be closed off by doors. Remove them. If you're laid-back enough, it makes no sense to close off the dining area from the kitchen and living areas.
We placed a really comfy couch in our dining room. It's great extra seating for entertainment and is great for nap-time and reading. =)
oh this is a beautiful post.
one thing all these have in common is beautiful natural light
my thought is always if a cat wants to hang out it in a space is getting there
Can anyone tell me where the lantern in the second picture is from?

You'd either have to be born in the 70s or visited Europe sometime in the 80s to remember the pop top cans. What were they? Instead of today's soda can tops, which stay intact after opening, the old school tops would peel off the can. They proved to be a choking hazard amongst other things, so eventually they were done away with.
So with irony we present to you the Pop Top bottle opener. You can get one of them, nostalgia not included, for $15.

Major Pettigrew's Last Standby Helen Simonson
Reading Group Guide
In the outset of Major Pettigrew's Last Stand, the Major is described as feeling the weight of his age, but on page 320, the morning after his romantic evening with Mrs. Ali at Colonel Preston's Lodge, Simonson writes that "a pleasant glow, deep in his gut, was all that remained of a night that seemed to have burned away the years from his back." Love is not only for the young and, as it did the Major, it has the capacity to revitalize. Discuss the agelessness of love, and how it can transform us at any point in our lives.
2. A crucial theme of Major Pettigrew's Last Stand is that of obligation. What are the differences between the Pettigrews' familial expectations and those of the Alis'? What do different characters in the novel have to sacrifice in order to stay true to these obligations? What do they give up in diverging from them?
3. Major Pettigrew clings to the civility of a bygone era, and his discussions with Mrs. Ali over tea are a narrative engine of the book and play a central role in their burgeoning romance. In our digital world, how have interpersonal relationships changed? Do you think instant communication makes us more or less in touch with the people around us?
4. Much of the novel focuses on the notion of "otherness." Who is considered an outsider in Edgecombe St. Mary? How are the various village outsiders treated differently?
5. First impressions in Major Pettigrew's Last Stand can be deceiving. Discuss the progressions of the characters you feel changed the most from the beginning of the book to the end.
6. The Major struggles to find footing in his relationship with his adult son, Roger. Discuss the trickiness of being a parent to an adult child, and alternatively, an adult child to an aging parent. How does the generation gap come to impact the relationship?7. Major Pettigrew and Mrs. Ali connect emotionally in part because they share the experience of having lost a spouse, and in part because they delight in love having come around a second time. How do you think relationships formed in grief are different from those that are not?
8. For Major Pettigrew, the Churchills represent societal standing and achievement, as well as an important part of his family's history. However, as events unfold, the Major begins to question whether loyalty and honor are more important than material objects and social status. Discuss the evolving importance of the guns to the Major, as well as the challenge of passing down important objects, and values, to younger generations.

GREENBURGH, N.Y. -- Their first practice of the season finishing, the Knicks gathered in a circle for a song.
"Happy Birthday to you!" they sang to centre Tyson Chandler, who turned 30 on Tuesday.
"I was feeling young until today," Chandler said.
He still is, compared to some of his new teammates.
The Knicks went the veteran route in the off-season -- really veteran. They added a forward who turns 40 this week, a 39-year-old guard, and are soon expected to have two 38-year-old frontcourt reserves. Oh, and one of their rookies is 35.
Assuming 38-year-old Rasheed Wallace ends his retirement and signs with the Knicks this week, as expected, their 13-man rotation would average 32 years and 240 days old, the oldest in NBA history, according to research by STATS, LLC.
Too old?
"I don't think so," Chandler said, noting that the Dallas Mavericks team he helped to win the 2011 title averaged nearly 30 years of age.
"Obviously, we've got some guys a little over that mark, but you know what, the guys that we do have are going to bring great veteran leadership and they bring a calmness around the team that we didn't have before, and it's only going to benefit us. In order to win in this league, you've got to have veterans."
Kurt Thomas, a former Knick reacquired along with Raymond Felton from Portland, will turn 40 on Thursday. Jason Kidd will get there next March 23, born just a few months before the Knicks won their most recent championship.
Marcus Camby returns for his second stint with the Knicks at 38, and Argentine point guard Pablo Prigioni finally comes to the NBA at 35.
Just the way coach Mike Woodson wants it after starting with a young Atlanta Hawks team in his first NBA head coaching opportunity.
"That was fun, but I think the fact that I got this veteran team, it's going to make life a little bit more easier because they've been around and they know how to play," Woodson said. "And I've just got to pace them and direct them and put them in the right position."
Woodson is doing that partly by only holding one practice a day during training camp. That's not entirely due to the Knicks' age, because he said he'd already stopped believing in the usefulness of two-a-days.
He does believe in veterans and doesn't think he had enough of them last season, particularly in the frontcourt behind Chandler and Amare Stoudemire. Camby and Thomas address that and bring the defensive-minded mindset that Woodson favours.
"It's veteran teams that are winning titles, and I think what we tried to do here is assemble enough talent on the team for that, 'What if?"' Woodson said. "If this guy gets hurt, maybe he can fill in."
Plagued by injuries early in his career, Camby has become stronger as the years went on and enters his 17th season, with Chandler saying he believes the No. 2 pick in the 1996 draft can get to 20. Kidd, who was with Chandler on the Mavs' title team before leaving for New York this summer, is set for his 19th season.
He is expected to serve as the backup to Felton, but the likely future Hall of Famer said he's prepared for a bigger role if given.
"I'm in the best shape probably in the last five years," Kidd said, "so I feel great and if I have to play a lot of minutes, I could do that."
The Knicks have watched the Boston Celtics rule their division in recent years, so they see the value of solid veterans. They insist they aren't too old, general manager Glen Grunwald saying Monday that he feels the Knicks "didn't get older, we feel we got more experienced and better."
If the old guys stay healthy, the Knicks will be able to fill some holes in their roster. If not, it will only create a new set of problems.
Chandler is counting on it to work.
"All of those guys are bringing a different element to this team that we didn't have last year," he said. "We had a lot of young guys. We were all over the place. We won basketball games, it was exciting, we had our ups and downs, but it wasn't consistent. Veterans like this bring consistency and that's ultimately what's going to get us to win basketball games."
It was Canada's night at the NBA Draft as four players from north of the border were selected.

8. Nik Stauskas - Kings

Former Illinois Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. and his wife Sandi leave the E. Barrett Prettyman Federal Courthouse in Washington, Wednesday, Feb. 20, 2013, after Jackson entered a guilty plea to criminal charges that he engaged in a scheme to spend $750,000 in campaign funds on personal items. (AP Photo/Evan Vucci)
UPDATE: Sentencing Re-Scheduled for Aug. 14
A federal judge on Monday postponed the sentencing hearing for former Illinois Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr. and his wife, noting it was being done to "accommodate the court" and not at the request of the couple's attorneys or the prosecution.
U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson in Washington, D.C., posted a brief note on the court's docket saying Wednesday's hearing for the Chicago Democrat and his wife would be held later.
She didn't set a new date.
The couple originally was scheduled to be sentenced on charges of misusing campaign funds and tax fraud at 9:30 a.m. on Wednesday.
The Monday announcement comes days after federal prosecutors announced in Washington they want to include the Jacksons' two homes in forfeiture proceedings as they seek $750,000 in what even the one-time power couple admit were ill-gotten gains.
Prosecutors said they would not try to kick the couple and their children out of their homes. Rather, they insist they are only seeking whatever equity the Jacksons have in those homes.
Jackson in February pleaded guilty to misusing campaign funds. Jackson acknowledged in court that he spent $750,000 of campaign cash on personal items -- like a $4,600 Michael Jackson fedora and a $1,500 black-and-red cashmere cape, according to the charges against him -- and pleaded guilty to several charges, including conspiracy to commit wire fraud, mail fraud and false statements.
Sandi Jackson pleaded guilty on the same day to tax fraud.
The couple reportedly hired eight lawyers ahead of the sentencing.
Prosecutors recommended Jackson get four years in prison and Sandi Jackson get 18 months.
The Jacksons have two school-aged children, and the judge must decide whether to stagger their sentences so that they won't both be in prison at the same time.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Though Schur hadn't seen the finished episode yet, he said there were several small "West Wing" homages in it, and he told the director if there was room for a "West Wing"-style walk-and-talk with Amy Poehler and Bradley Whitford, he "wouldn't complain." But don't look for a mini-"West Wing" reunion in Pawnee: Rob Lowe, who played Seaborn, did not share a scene with his "West Wing" castmate Whitford.
ugh okay fine +1,000 points for Parks because BRADLEY WHITFORD.
I would like to find a guy who understands me as well as Parks & Rec does

Marcel Duchamp
In 1911, Marcel Duchamp, the great iconoclast of 20th-century art, was still adhering to the conventions of easel painting, formal composition, narrative structure, and individual inspiration. His formative years were bracketed by studies at the Académie Julien in Paris in 1904–05 and participation in the artistic circle known as the Puteaux Group, which gathered at the home of his older brothers and fellow artists, Raymond Duchamp-Villon and Jacques Villon, after 1910. During this period, Duchamp moved rapidly through a succession of Modernist styles before renouncing painting altogether in 1913 in favor of an art that privileged the intellectual over the optical.
Prior to this conversion, which would radically alter the development of Western art, Duchamp frequently painted the members of his family. A relatively realistic canvas from 1910 depicts his brothers engrossed in a game of chess in their garden while his two sisters look on. The significantly more abstracted painting Sonata (1911), is a portrait of the artist's mother and sisters as a musical ensemble; their fragmented and interlocking bodies echoing Cubism's dissolution and rearrangement of forms in space. Apropos of Little Sister similarly fractures the integrity of the figure to reinforce its interrelationship with the surrounding composition. The sitter is Magdeleine, Duchamp's youngest sibling, who was 13 at the time. She is seated, reading a book by candlelight; her attenuated limbs and curving spine form a sinuous S-curve that reverberates in the loosely painted environment around her.
Toward the end of 1911, Duchamp returned to the theme of chess, creating a series of at least six drawings and two Cubist paintings of his brothers completely absorbed by the game. The Guggenheim drawing was produced late in the sequence, perhaps between the execution of the two canvases, given that its shades of green and tan watercolor relate to the palette of the latter painting. Rendered on lined stationery from Paris's Hotel Lutetia, the drawing is intimate in scale but dense with visual information. The profiles of the two players interlock above the perspectival game board; vectors radiating out from center represent the intense intellectual activity at play. Chess pieces float freely in this abstracted world, suggesting that the space depicted is a purely cerebral realm. For Duchamp, who would soon devote himself to playing chess exclusively and only intermittently producing conceptual work involving readymades, linguistic strategies, and mechanistic imagery, chess was the perfect art form in that it engaged one's "gray matter" rather than one's retina.

A little about me...
My son has helped me with this computer draft a new profile after a supposed friend wrote my last one to sound like somebody Iam not!!
I mostly enjoy family time, sharing events with my children and passing time taking care of my garden. However... I am in good condition for my age and very independent and don't mind going on new adventures, making friends easily while making the best of any situation. Life is too short for regrets. I have had a beautiful long time relationship with a man who several years ago had past. Would love to be in another such relationship but until I form that friendship I am going to continue to enjoy what life has to offer.
About the one I'm looking for...
looking for a gentile, kind, compassionate man who has his health. Must be able to laugh, especially at himself.
I'd just like to add...
i love mother nature taking care of my own gardens,lawn etc. i also love to go to the beaches. good conversation is imp. I love to play cards too. Love, love family time!

While a few issues hamper its judder-busting video processing, the 120Hz Samsung LN-T4671F is still one of the best-performing LCD HDTVs available.
While the Belkin Bluetooth Hands-Free Headset is plenty sleek and cool-looking, its horrible fit makes it virtually unusable.

2012 steel outlook,
Michael H. Hoffman,
domestic steel industry,
Vicente Wright,
transportation bill,
While signs of optimism started to emerge several weeks into 2012 among players in the metals sector, especially the carbon steel industry, a few of them are still pointing to potential detours on the road to a fuller economic recovery.
As much as Id like to give a totally optimistic preview, I find it difficult to do that under the circumstances and I think we are going to face a somewhat difficult scenario for 2012, Michael H. Hoffman, vice chairman of Klöckner USA Holdings, said at the Metals Service Center Institute (MSCI) Carbon Products Conference in February.
While most players in the domestic steel industry are feeling a little better about the first half of 2012, the overall outlook for the steel sector this year remains less than robust, Hoffman said. Were still going to probably languish at around 105 million to 110 million tons of consumption in the United States this year, so thats not a good outlook.

Agree with Pam, healthcare/biotech pose a bigger challenge without VC funding. Unless of course the project is funded in house by one of the big pharmas.

Power Point - May 20, 2005
Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them; if prophecy, let us prophesy in proportion to our faith…he who teaches, in teaching…
--Romans 12:6-7
I wanted to just move right past the gift of ministry, or helps, at the beginning of verse seven and do that next week, because I wanted you to see very closely the tie between the gifts of prophecy and teaching. It's interesting, though, that the gifts of prophecy and teaching are linked by the gift of ministry. No one can preach or teach effectively unless there are those supporting and helping behind the scenes.
So, as we move forward, what is teaching? It is the ability and calling of God to give instruction, to communicate the Word of God clearly, and to apply the Word of God to human need. The gift of teaching is a Spirit-given ability to build into the lives of Christians the knowledge of the Word of God and its application to their character, hearts, and conduct.
Teaching is a priority practice of the church. As a matter of fact, when Jesus gave His marching orders to the church, He said, "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo I am with you always, even to the end of the age" (Matthew 28:19-20).
The teacher has an assignment in the church to bring the new and old believers into spiritual growth and maturity. Therefore, it is vitally important in the
They were teaching Jesus in public services at the temple and in private homes. Christian, you don't live by what you feel. You are to live by what you know in the Word of God, by faith, what God has taught you, and what others have taught you through Scripture. That's what solidifies your life in faith and keeps you from being blown off course by every wind of doctrine.

Joff's Carefully Curated Triplex
House Tour
Name: Joff
Location: Washington, DC
Size: 2,400 square feet
Years lived in: just over a year
Joff shared his home in progress with Apartment Therapy in his House Call Joff Brings LA Style to DC. We were recently invited us back for a full-scale House Tour. An avid collector of furniture and art, Joff has moved around many pieces since we last saw his home.
A fairly recent transplant from Los Angeles, California, Joff has lived in DC for just over two years and loves the culture, diversity and many dining and retail spots in the U Street area. Rarely in a car, Joff bikes and metros around town. Living in DC has made Joff feel more aware of issues as everyone he meets has a cause or purpose, and is trying to change something.
Joff chose his home because it accommodated his furniture and replicated his LA home. The triplex is has amazing light that showcases his great art collection. A longtime art and furniture collector, Joff is involved with the Corcoran Gallery of Art and has hosted events for the museum at his home. Joff will be curating his first gallery exhibition this fall at Irvine Contemporary and plans to bring artists to DC who haven't yet had exposure here. Joff's love of art and ability to curate spaces is apparent in his home.
Apartment Therapy Survey:
My Style: Modern, comfortable, and edited. I like open uncluttererd spaces punctuated with art. What's out should be useful and enjoyable, and aesthetically functional.
Inspiration: My parent's first home in which I lived was a mid-century modern, so the combination of that influence and having lived in California longer than anywhere else thus far, inspired my appreciation of modernism.
Favorite Element: The light-filled space.
Biggest Challenge: I bought based on a conceptual floorplan, when the lot was a hole in the ground, so waiting for its completion was challenging.
What Friends Say: It's comfortable, and folks often say that with surprise because they have an expectation of something more austere. I like to entertain, and whether I'm having an event for the Corcoran or the Trevor Project, two of my passions, or a casual dinner and movie screening, I absolutely want friends to feel at home.
Proudest DIY: The gardens and roof patio. I selected California-inspired plants for both the streetscape and roofscape. My roof patios have great views of Washington, and the eco-friendly plantings are thriving.
Biggest Indulgence: The light fixture that hangs above my living room, "Birds, birds, birds" by Ingo Mauer. I deliberated over its purchase, then it sat for months in my builder's apartment until my place was completed, and the installation took an entire day replete with two story scaffolding, and the gifted talents of Aztec Electric, Ron Smith, and Lou Cardenas.
Best advice: Keep it simple and select quality. White walls showcase art best. Small rooms can take color and wallpaper. Don't fill up a space just because you have it and never put everything against the walls. When in doubt, don't. Remember to be true to yourself and whimsy is good.
Dream source: An open mind allows all possibilities equal consideration. And for a kickstart, Italy.

I was more focused on the art in this tour, this place is perfect for art and what a great collection.
The roof top patio is fantastic love the oversized "Standard Hotel" planter in this space.
The Cole & Son wallcovering is starting to get old, I've seen this on so many blogs in the last two years, but thats just me.
Otherwise, this place is stunning thanks for sharing.
Yay, DC! Love your place. Not a fan of the large painting in the living room (a bit creepy, IMO), but everything else is fantastic.
Yay for Millennium! That place is fantastic.
I am moving to DC soon. WHERE IS THIS PLACE?
It is truly awesome.
I have to say that modern isn't really my style. However I love the chandelier-such an unusual and beautiful piece. I also love all of the art in the space and the rooftop space is fantastic.
I love his art, as I am an art lover. It's a great space to feature art.
As for the furnishings.....I don't not like it, but I am not in love. It's his place so as long as he is happy, that's all that matters. I could pick over the place and critique, but my opinion really doesn't matter. The only thing that really wowed me was the rooftop.
@enmnm - the house is on U Street, which is the same street Millennium Decorative Arts is on - U Street is so cozy and eclectic. I love going there to shop. In fact, I'll probably be there this weekend to do some more home furnishings shopping.
Seems a bit outdated and cold, no?
The alternative for shelving is good!
The book stacks are decorative.
As someone else stated, as long as he likes it, that's what matters. It is certainly "well done", but I don't find it interesting.
Average. Modern vanilla.
Nothing really makes this place stand out.
But... "as someone else stated, as long as he likes it, that's what matters..."
If y'all think this is "average," then you have some tasteful, lucky friends.
Stunning! Love your style. Joff, does it echo in your downstairs living room? I have 20-ft ceilings & wood floors, too, and there's a terrible echo. But I don't have furniture yet. Does having furniture cut down on the sound bouncing around?
i have the same little lightolier desk lamp... which is about as close as I'll ever get to a place like this!
joff- I am sure your house is very nice. I didn't look at it.
Dear AT-
Please use a different word.
If everything/place is "curated", then nothing is...
Finally a cool tour from the DC area.
Amazing place!!! sleek and modern. But I've never understand the old deal about exposing books; just feels like clutter and doesn't go with the minimalist vibe of the place.
Nice place, Joff!
P.S. hrhprincessfiona, I remember that "audition" sign too. Where did we see that? I didn't realize it was a poster. I thought it was a real sign from a real audition.
@ creative license: http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/ny/house-tours/debbie-upgrades-to-midcentury-house-tour-117887
Thanks, see! I knew someone would come up with a link.
Hooray for including a picture of yourself! I wish more people would do this. It makes the tours feel friendlier, more home-y, less like museums.
Wow, what an amazing space.
I LOVE the tree bathroom, love the light and openness, and would probably consider selling a part of my soul for that roof deck.
I don't love the large dead thing's skin serving as a rug or the uber-modernness in certain rooms
But overall you have an impeccable sense of style and a perfect place to execute it!
~Amanda (http://justanothertreehugger.wordpress.com)
call me a stalker....but while browsing on etsy soon after viewing this house tour, i found once of his pieces of art!
I love the tree wallpaper in the bathoom. The color of the cabinet works well with it.
I bet you, however, that other when they are having a party that they mainly use the room with the Audition sign in it. The other areas seem cold and uncomfortable, although they are great places to display art.
Is that an original Kehinde Wiley painting in the bedroom?
In regards to the stacks of books behind the sofa, I hate it. I hate when people do that. It does look like clutter and it's so impractical if you ever need to grab one of the books to read.
But as long as he's happy with his home.... :-)
Dream bathrooms! High five, Joff.
Hey Joff
Great place - really love it.
Where are the dining chair (mesh/chrome/splay legs) from?
Great place, thanks for sharing! I would also like to know where the dining chairs are from, I've been looking and lookiing and these are perfect!
I love the light, the high ceilings, the amount of space, the variety of artwork...then there was that roof deck . My little NYC apartment is jealous.
The wall space is perfect for art. The space almost has a gallery feel to it. I would have loved to see some www.bumblejax.com prints up on the walls--especially the acrylic face-mount option they have.
Very good design
Utter perfection. So good to see a well-edited space that pays homage to an awesome art collection.
I love the way the homeowner designed his decor and furnishings to work with the light flow and clean lines of the architecture, not to compete against them.
How refreshing to see a grown-up house tour on AT without knickknacks and cheesy collectibles.
Hi There,
The apt looks terrific I have the same bathroom fixture in my apt and have yet to replace the 3 small bulbs. One just blew and I know the next 2 will follow shortly. Problem, I don't remember how to remove the frosted glass cylinder in order to replace bulbs. I believe the metal piece needs to slide but I'm not sure. Any help with this regard will be appreciated.
Porcelanosa, yay!! Though I spent hours in the Rockville showroom, the pricepoints kept me from anything more than floor and wall tiles for our new bath.
In this offering, various voices can quibble about taste but I think not about quality. Thanks for sharing,
other than the books stacked on the floor ( i don't get that)...i like this tour!
but to move from LA to DC...NO WAY!
Stunning. I love a perfectionist.
You are one lucky man!!! An Ingo Maurer light fixture!! It is on my bucket list to own one of those (smaller version)!! Beautiful home--thanks for sharing.
Frankly disconcerting to see L.A. style in D.C. I think it's beautiful of course, but the first thing that came to mind looking at the pictures was...SO MUCH WINDEX. The only complaint I have is with the mirrors. There are so many beautiful reflective surfaces in this home. Why oh why are the mirrors so ugly? They look very cheap and ikea-ish...the big black framed one probably isn't cheap, but it too looks terrible, I'm sorry. (the one in the bathroom is ok though) Get thee down to Georgetown Glass and Mirrors (if they're still around, haven't been to D.C. for a couple of years) and please fix this mirror situation.
I really liked this. If I was a single guy living in the city with the means to do it, my place would look just like this. I don't think of it as LA style in a DC place. Instead it's appropriate furniture, art and lighting for the space. And the artwork and lighting, in particular, are fabulous!! The plants definitely do a lot to add some "warmth" to the home. The only thing I'd change is to put a table of some sort in the seating area in the first picture. Maybe some sort of acrylic peekaboo style?
Okay, I can take back the table comment. Just looked at the first picture again and see that everyone has a place to set their beverage. You're good. =>
pure, insane jealousy. i have it. what a beautiful space, and i love the artwork.
I have a burning question. What happens to all the rooftop furniture when it rains? Where do you put it in the winter? Washington has nasty weather - even the tail ends of hurricanes!
Lovely home.
The couch with all the books behind it: I LOVE it. That's what I have against a wall in my bedroom. I can't say mine looks very artistic, though! I think I could convince my roommate that this can be stylish and not LAZY if I show her this pic! :)
Budget must be astronomical. Mere mention of a B&B italia furniture is already the cost of doing an entire room. Maybe show a home with similar esthetic in a realistic budget.

If I have any political agenda when it comes to representing girls' sexuality and desire, it's that I want to describe it positively. I don't know if "sex positive" is out of fashion these days, but the term still speaks to me. I think it's OK — and even realistic — for girls to feel desire and to express it physically and with confidence. From the beginning.
thank you, malinda lo.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
My school is a good one, but lots of people don't think so... I have only been attending for 1 and a half semesters, but as a freshman I have been treated equally to all the other students.
Whenever I enter East high School it feels like I'm right back home. The teachers are so friendly. They are pretty much like parents to me. I mean I love my parents, but i love the teachers at East High School as well. I'm not sure why people say what they say about this school. If they just spent one day in the school and got to know the teachers and students they would know how much of a family we all are. All I really want to say is don't judge a book by its cover.
This school is the best kept secret in the Green Bay Area. It is full of dedicated, hard working and caring teachers who are willing to work to help ALL students learn. Many look down on EHS as an 'inner city' school but they have no clue what the school is really like. Spend a day at that school and you would see that this is a great learning community.

A series of drabbles about the characters in the anime. Descriptions and ratings above each.
A/N: This drabble is about Mugen. Rating is PG13 for gore. Please Read And Review.
Pain was the only constant in his life, he decided, feeling the blood from his shoulder dripping through the fingers of the opposite hand. His hand was clamped so tightly over the wound that his fingers ached, but he knew if he didn't stop the blood flow soon... Thinking back, he realized he had few "defining" moments in his life which weren't painful. Any emotion towards him had either been while in the process of hurting him or after he had been injured. Aside from anger, Fuu only showed anything else when he'd been injured. If he was hurt, she'd break down and care for him for awhile. When he was better though, it was all back to the screaming and yelling. Jin had never showed much either way, but he didn't seem to show much for anybody so it wasn't really anything to be bothered about. Looking down his body, Mugen saw all the scars from various points throughout his life. Those were his memories, he decided. He would be hard pressed to think of anything memorable that had happened to him and didn't leave one of those scars. If scars were memories...he wondered if he'd have many more...considering how little untouched skin on his body was left now...these were his last thoughts as the darkness closed over him and he felt the jar of the ground abruptly hitting the side of his face.
