How To: Avoid the Catalog Look at Home
We blog a lot of big, accessible stores like IKEA, Crate & Barrel, Target, Pottery Barn...you get the picture. We shop at many of them and we appreciate the fact that they offer stylish things at affordable price points. Still, we try to avoid the catalog look: that sense you get when you walk into a room and you think, "I've seen this place before." Click below for a few tips on developing a unique, non-catalogish style...
- Shop vintage. Look for one-of-a-kind pieces with a history behind them. Apartment Therapy's city shopping guides offer recommendations for vintage and thrift stores from each of our city sites.
- Go the DIY route. Use your home-ec skills to customize furniture and put your own special spin on a room.
- Travel. When you visit a new place, use the opportunity to scout for things you wouldn't be able to find at home. As you fill your home with unique objects from faraway places, you'll collect great style and great memories.
- Shop at small, independent retailers. In addition to all those big box retailers we blog, we also feature a lot of small, independent stores and designers. You can search our city shopping guides by neighborhood to find hidden gems in your neck of the woods.
- Family heirlooms and hand-me-downs are a good way to keep continuity with the past while developing your own unique style. It can take a little work to figure out the best way to make them mesh with your style, but the payoff is a place that feels like home.

Have a variety of levels of wear. Everything in the room shouldn't look the exact same age.
Also, avoid overdoing it with the matching sets, especially chairs and couches. The worst catalog homes I've seen have been the result of it being obvious that 80% of the items in the room were bought from the same vendor and at the same time.
I would also suggest avoiding recognizable items like the Poang and Expedit if you can. They're nice pieces, but people will immediately ID them as Ikea and then go on to recognize all of your other Ikea stuff.
Time - I go through enough emotions when it's put together. I love it, I hate it, I'm embarrassed by it, I grow bored and spend money on other passions while I see what works in the room.
Plants, plants, and more plants - plus all the real life crud that goes with them. Catalogues throw in architectural plants with no concern for light or growth. I have great sun, so I host a bunch of idiot-proof plants. I also throw castors under a bigger plants and scoot those fsuckers around the room to follow the light.
One-off color matching - matchy-matchy is understandable when you're coming out of upheaval. Time allows the colors to fade differently, newer items to enter, and older items to get reshuffled or given a holiday.
A freak piece is wonderful. I have a chair my aunt gave me. On two occasions she herded three of us thinner adults into her dainty painted windsor chairs right before her obese friend visited for St. Pat's dinner. He was given the sturdy mission oak armchair by default - he'd broken two other chairs.
Honestly, if my place looked like that picture I wouldn't complain.
Except for the POANG. The POANG is a no.
For Ikea I always think their textiles are a giveaway, particularly the cushions.
I like the idea of mixing the provenance: some items we're going to buy from big box retailers because of value and accessibilty, utility and function. Other items we'll inherit or forage or salvage or find. I have long loved and valued the idea of vintage.
Another element of the "catalog room" are black and white photos and matching frames as the primary art statement. I get the whole thing about displaying candids of kids and family members but don't get that as primary art statement. There is so much art out there accessible and affordable both new and old, why the one dimensional choice? I'm turned off when I see too much of it. It registers ennui.
Finalize: personalize. If you golf, note that somehow in your decorating style. If you're into horses, bring that in. If you lived in Thailand for 6 months, bring it, don't suppress it. Personalize your space and make it uniquely your own. A catalog will never be able to do that for you.
My husband and I renovated our apartment using hacked Ikea kitchen cabinets topped by Billy bookcases and often I wonder how many people in the world are living in the exact same apartment setup. But surprisingly, most people ask if the "built-ins" are custom, I think it's because they are filled with personalized stuff that draws attention more than the furnishings themselves. So I agree with ShellyinMSP, personalization is the way to go and when in doubt like JoeyBrill said, add plants!
you have chosen my favourite picture out of the entire IKEA catalog... I am currently in the process of renovating my apartment and have decided to filla wall of billy bookcases on the strength of this picture
Mixing is key, and I agree with avoiding the expedit and the poang
Man, I've got a POANG in my living room. Sounds like I better get rid of it before I'm the laughingstock of the neighborhood! ;)
What's with all the Poang hatin'?!?! It's a super comfortable chair and I know several mothers who love them for breastfeeding and for rocking the little ones to sleep. I had one in the birch color with lime green cushions in my last house and I wish I had kept it. I've been thinking of getting one for my bedroom for the reading nook. It's super comfortable and a classic in my eyes.
Agree with yolio that sets are really bad.
To me it is important to have at least one piece of furniture or decoration that doesn't seem to fit in with the overall style, thus keeping a room from being bland.
Hehe, *don't worry so much about what other people think about what you have in your space. It's YOURS and unless you are a follower of home fashions (most people are not) no one is going to know where you got your pieces. Everyone has unique pieces acquired over time that makes our spaces our own.
*Except for Nevis (LOL) and Monica, POANG?! We need to get out the pitchforks and torches and hunt these two down!!!
I have got TWO Poangs... I guess there is no hope for me... ;-)
Do your own version of things. My apartment is "Minnie Mid Century" in the small cool Tiny apartment catagory. Pillows similar to the large throw pillows on my love seat were featured in several magazines in yellow and white. I made them in black and white, from remnants found in a fabric store. The pillow covers cost me about $4 each to make.
I spotted 6 framed watercolors featured in Elle Decor by artist Julian Schnabel. I liked the arrangement, but not the actual paintings, so I did my own version which are watercolors of my favorite NYC buildings from the '50s and '60s. Cost - $6 each!
I bought antiques last summer, and I thought my IKEA days were over and then brought a craigslist leather POANG in.
As a cat owner, the best way to have a leather chair is the POANG, IMO. Replaceable cushions, leather is dyed all the way through, and the back of the cushion exposed in the back of the chair is neutral scratch-friendly fabric.
The lines of the antiques are simple and don't look weird with the chair.
Don't get me wrong, I suggest avoiding the Poang *if possible* - I, on the other hand, have 2...with the matching footrest (though the thick headrest does a major number on my neck).
I love this thread. I have long been a fan of IKEA, for their accessibility and ability to translate high end designs into an affordable solution.
While I personally have shunned the POANG (I had forbidden an former roommate from allowing it in the living room, I have the same thoughts about papasans,) I do agree that each space is different and should be a personal thing.
My current space is furnished with a lot of IKEA and people are always shocked when they learn the truth. As mentioned, be sure to mix things up. An IKEA sofa with a vintage chair. Billy bookcases (which look better with the glass door options) filled with old and new books alike.
One thing I NEVER purchase from big box stores, however, is artwork. I feel that artwork should be a personal touch, whether self created, picked up at a local art fair or even a collage of things you enjoy.
I have a lovely mid century danish chair, but the cushions were beyond redemption. One day in as-is at Ikea, I bought a set of black leather POANG cushions, sans headrest. They fit the MCM Danish chair perfectly, and you can't even really tell.
So, in effect, I guess I've got a Semi-Poang.
I've been trying to mix and match... but it's not easy on a tight budget. I've been searching for example for a small bookshelf that would serve as a landing strip/end table. Not easy, believe it or not... the ones that would fit and look nice? starting with 100$. so Ikea wins again, even if I really tried not to buy another expedit ;-)
I don't have a car, live far from flea markets and thrift stores. Craig's list would be fine - but again, without a car - very difficult. So ikea really saves me. Thanks to my friend I got at least sofa plus recliner and dining set in a second-hand store, so at least that's differs..
I try to decorate in my own style, using own work, strange finds... but in the end - I have expedit, I have Poang, malm bed... no way to escape ;-) and as it's my first apt - I love it, I am so happy I am able to fill it in step by step.
I really like Ikea's style and for the time being I am glad it's around.
I also own a Poang chair as a memory of the days when I was poor. I still like it as Monica says as a very comfortable chair. I think the key with it is to redo the fabric (for people that are more mature than 1st year students). Get a really good fabric and redo the cushion. I will do just that and place my son's bedroom.
sets are a yawn. agree above.
I didn't know that buying Ikea was a sign of being poor... and here me being so happy I can actually finally afford ikea... ;-)
and I am not changing my fabric. even though I believe I am much more mature than a 1st year student...
Rule 1: Never under any circumstances have an Eames Lounge Chair, Noguchi Coffee Table, Panton Chair and Saarinen Tulip Side Table in the same room!
Rule 2: Get a copy of a DWR catalog [any of them will do] and do NOT reproduce the rooms.
Rule 3: Avoid filling rooms entirely with design "icons". One "icon" per room should be the rule of thumb...everything else should be unexpected or somewhat difficult to identify.
Rule 4: Mix old and new...antiques with modern [this is critical].
Rule 5: Avoid bare walls at all costs! Get some artwork, the bigger the better...nothing spells sterile like unadorned walls or walls with teensy, tiny little things slapped on them.
IKEA has its place. Everything in modeation (spoken like the ture Libra that I am).
My 2 tips:
1 - barter skills. If you've developed any sort of skills that can be bartered, then do it. I've got a sewing room and skills which are envied by many. But my 1/4" drill is pathetic. I've made drapes in exchange for handyman services, use of a pickup truck, etc., etc.
2 - barter time. Even if you feel you haven't developed any DIY skills or assembled any great tools yet, you can always barter unskilled labor. I've done that, too.
I love my Expedit, the key to personalizing any bookcase is to fill it with YOUR stuff. No one in the world has the exact same books I have (decorating religion quilting) or the stack of journals I wrote as a teen or my collection of family baby pics or my accessories or my vintage aqua typewriter sitting on top.
As long as you don't have the complete matching headboard/dresser/nightstands/wardrobe/dressing table (my friend got a matching 6 piece bedroom set when she got married and they were all MASSIVE peices) and even if you do end up with a matching set, move some pieces to the other rooms and I think you are ok.
Here are my rules:
Take time to look at things other than catalogs - collect images your love - get a sense of your own personal style and how you live in your home when planning your purchases. Too often, that catalog look comes from an absence of ideas.
Don't buy too many items from one designer or manufacturer. Similarly, don't buy 'sets'. Collect slowly instead of 'doing' entire rooms at once.
Get inspired by your local resources. If you live in a great area for antiques, start antiquing. Find the best flea market near you. If you live across the street from a great furniture store, develop a relationship with the staff and shop their floor samples.
Plants, art, pillows, throws, books, and textiles are touches that really personalize even a relatively neutral background and keep it from looking boring.
I was looking around my house the other day and wondering how it is that I know I've spent in excess of several thousand dollars over the years at Ikea, yet I don't really readily *see* any of it.
I mostly shop antique stores for furniture items like dining tables, credenzas, etc. I fill in the blanks with textiles. I never ever ever ever buy "art" from a store. It's mostly art that I've exchanged with friends or bought at art walks, galleries, etc.
All of that mismashed together works for me. I get lots of comments about my home being cozy, but it doesn't look like an Ikea showroom.
Why in the world would you want to "avoid" the catalog look? I say, bring it on! Your home can be warm and lived-in, but neat and sophisticated. A lived-in space doesn't have to look like a college dorm.
btoddster, that is great to know, thanks!
I wouldn't have thought of that, but there are often frames of those chairs around, so now I know I could put one to use!
I'd say avoid the Eames DAR, DSR, DAW..., and especially the Eames RAR Rocker in baby blue with a sheepskin thrown over it - or you'll suffer from the "Domino staged look" which can definitely compete with the "catalogue look".
That said, I'm now shopping for a DAW, just can't decide on the color yet :-) maybe blue... and then a little woolly comfort to top it off...
And yes, we love the two Expedits that fit our living room perfectly and are a home for most of our books - and the nearest IKEA is two countries away (we live in Europe), so it was an effort getting them.
Original Art! It will instantly personalize a space and distract from your Poang chair and Expedit bookshelves.
You know, I agree that the design icon catalogue look is actually somehow worse than the ikea catalogue look, it looks far more impersonal.
Now that I think of it, the Poang might be just the thing of the little nook at the corner of my billy bookcase-filled library...
Original art, your own books and the funny looking chair you found in grandma's attic .... but the expedit remains my pet peeve, especially the big square one
I have a big 4x4 Expedit room divider and I love it.
I also have a second-hand sofa with throw pillows from target, and a funky-crazy afghan that's older than I am (and still has a scrap of yarn tied to one corner that I put there to secure a blanket-tent I made when I was five.) And a good-quality unfinished bookcase that I've been planing to finally get around to finishing for ten years. And a couple of things from Pier 1 that are showing their age.
I don't think the goal should be to "avoid a catalog look", but rather to avoid a place that looks like *someone elses* idea of what a home should look like.
...Whether that "someone else" is saying "your home SHOULD look like a page from a catalog" or saying "your home should NOT look like a page from a catalog".
I once posted on another decorating forum that I wouldn't want my home to look like a magazine and EVERYONE WITHOUT EXCEPTION disagreed with me! Judging by this article and alot of responses here, I guess I'm not alone! :)
we are a mass culture--almost everything we own or eat is mass produced! we certainly don't want to be completely standardized & look like we live in an ikea or dwr catalog but we need to come to terms with the fact that we, & the things we buy, are not completely unique or original. thinking that buying vintage somehow makes you more individual is just a myth.
Hey! Don't equate papasan with POANG!
Does the low end non-POANG, POANG cost? I have two. ugh.
Haven't time to read all the comments, so someone may have posted this, but don't forget the curb. One man's trash might be -- just MIGHT be -- another's treasure.
All of my basics are IKEA—simple birch Billy bookcases, super simple lamps, a basic (no headboard even) Sultan bed and mattress. But everything else is carefully edited from all over—a sheepskin rug I got for Christmas as a kid that still sits in my living room, a crazy old telephone I got at a flea market, a Noguchi coffee table that was my big splurge when I got my first place, dishes and utensils my cousins sent from France, etc. My whole apartment's furnishings cost less than if I had done the entire place in Pottery Barn, and look fantastic, because all the big pieces are from Ikea and the rest was handmade, bought at flea markets, or on super sale.
What let me get away with it is that I've kept the color palette pretty neutral—all creams and whites, with a few black pieces (a chair and ottoman, and the coffee table legs). The color in the rooms come from the books and the art—but the art wasn't expensive. Some of it is my own or my mother's, some of it is just paint on a huge canvas that I can repaint whenever I want a radical change in color palette. By making nothing big something that I'd ever want to change, all the changes are cheap, and don't need to happen unless I feel like it and have the money. So—all whites, some creativity, and Ikea!
I agree with some other comments that the main thing is not to lose your own sense of style. It's easy to see a room in a catalog and think "oooh I want that room!" but you're likely to get sick of it and you'll end up with that catalog look if you redo a room all at once or buy too many things from one source. I collect and buy things only when I love them and they reflect my style, over time - my house is a mish mash of styles, colors, and eras, but above all it's MY house.
I guess i'm looked down upon! I have 2 Expedits!!! But i love them...
I've noticed the Expedits in a few design books/magazines/architect's portfolios recently. So now it's becoming iconic...
I agree with dialjforjake and ngchgo --- art from big box stores are generally a no in my book. It makes such a difference when you put things on your walls that really reflect *you* -- your collections, your passions, things that remind you of friends and family, art that you really love -- that you sit in a chair just to look at again and again. I have so many friends who have gone to Bed Bath and Beyond and bought a print of Audrey Hepburn to hang in their bedroom, one of those Fat Chefs for their kitchen (with matching pot holders!), and a Van Gogh Starry Night for above their couch.
None of what is on my walls cost me very much-- but I absolutely love each piece. They're not just space fillers -- they're part of my home, and bring me real joy to look at.
I think it's okay to have your big furniture be generic and neutral if everything else about the room is personal and organic. A room should look like it evolved naturally because of who you are. I think a lot of people go on decorating binges when they first move into a space, and buy everything in one big push. They're not willing to hold out and do without some things until they find something really special. They just want to get something and get it over with.
It's what Stacy and Clinton say on What Not To Wear: things should GO not MATCH. They're talking about clothes but it goes for rooms too!
I think Catherine in London did it just right. She has some Ikea items but she personalized the living room chair with a throw and homemade pillows, and wallpapered (!) the backs of the dining room chairs, which just kills me it's so fabulous. Plus she's got a vintage Bertoia and mobiles and art she created herself... there's so much of her personality in that space, and it all works together. And if you're not a DIYer, Etsy is but a click away.
What's with all the Poang/Expedit hate? Items like that become recognizable precisely because of their popularity. And they are popular because they're extremely practical, versatile, affordable and, in the case of the Poang chair, very comfortable as well.
I'm not advertising the "catalog look", but I think you shouldn't shun any piece just because it's "recognizable". As noted in many of the comments above, there are plenty of other ways to make a space your own.
That being said, I'm with the people who say no to art from big box stores. Furniture should be functional, but decor should be personal.
My answer is always textiles. Throw a quilt over the back of a sofa. Dye slipcovers a nice non-catalog color (Highly recommend Dharma Trading's Procion dyes). Make a few accent pillows out of a uniquely textured materials.
I've got loads of Ikea, and I constantly get compliments on how unique my place is. Most everything has been customized a bit and surrounded by unique accents.
I can't afford anything BUT Ikea or Target. I'm in the process of moving and so avoiding the catalog look is my goal. I've customized bookcases with paint and decals. I also ended up getting 2 very different colors/finishes of a TV bench by accident (there were 2 separate boxes to assemble it) and I went with it anyway and it looks kinda cool. I also have a ton of artwork from friends and my own so I plan to hang them in interesting ways.
I haven't gotten a chance to buy accessories like throw pillows or a coffee table so I definitely plan to go vintage/handmade for things like that. But I think a tad of catalog is helpful in not getting so custom crazy that it looks too hodgepodge. So I'm definitely going to keep a work/desk area and a dining set within catalog realm. It's a zen balance one has to achieve and overall it has to suit you and what makes you happy. After all, you're the one who has to live there.
Hey Graciela,
Give the vintage shops and estate sales a chance. As a single mom of 2 for a few years (happily remarried since last summer) I was definitely on the Target/Ikea budget for a long time. But during some trips down state, neighborhood estate sales, and out to Kane County in the summertime I found substantial antique pieces at Target and Ikea prices. Plus it's more fun to hunt for your goodies, IMO.
A great example for me was this credenza I got from an estate at $150. I was smacked giddy when they told me what they wanted for it.
Hey Graciela,
Check out Craigslist in your area. I have recently regretted buying some things at Ikea because similar (but vintage) items were on sale at Craigslist for about the same price. This goes for dressers, nightstands, endtables. And you can search through Craigslist at home at night instead of needing to get the energy to go places. :)
Good luck!
I think the main thing is that you don't want to walk into your friends' newly refurnished place and say out loud, "Oh, page number 54 in Ikea, right?"
There is something to be said for originality: waiting for a vintage piece, making it yourself or buying an original from an Etsy seller. But if you can get something mass produced at a steal, go for it! Just remember that it's easier to miss the obviousness of the Target lamp when it's on top of a beautiful 1950's sideboard with a handmade runner.
The thing that I don't get about shopping at Ikea is that you really can get stuff at the same prices or less if you look on Craigslist, scout thrift shops, and don't stick your nose up at something cool on the curbside. I realize that some vintage stuff was mass produced too, but first of all, not all of it was, and second of all, it's still usually better made and less likely to be spotted in your friend's apartment. I like older things because they are usually solid wood, have nice hardware, etc., as opposed to the veneer stuff that is sold today.
That said, I more often feel that my issue is tying everything together rather than having it look too matchy.
I don't have any Ikea furniture--no stores nearby--but I have to say I'd prefer that to overpriced, iconic designer furniture. I'm sure the iconic stuff is probably good quality and all, but it just screams "sheep" and "I have money to throw away" more than relatively generic pieces.
We accidently ended up with a catalog living room for our first house. A friend walked in and said "Oh, this reminds me of Restoration Hardware!" Oops :(
To avoid that this time, we settled on a few words that we would have loved to hear someone use to describe our place and keep them in mind as we're choosing objects. It's made a huge difference. I'd definitely recommend the exercise.
Also, consider your art collection a life-long exercise. You cannot go shopping for art, but when you see the piece that you love, buy it.
for all the anti-expedit people...if you have a massive record collection like I do, the expedit is really the only reasonably priced option. Every single one of my DJ/Producer friends has multiple large Expedits because they all know it's basically the only mass-produced bookshelf that fits records perfectly in both height and depth. It's either custom made (too much $$$$), milk crates (too college-dorm), or the Expedit.
I used to have wooden square boxes that I stacked to hold records. You could make something very easily for the same effect, or use vintage shipping crates if you like a slightly rustic look.
nikki- I tend to agree with you about having designer furniture. Anything that is mass produced and allot of people have tends to have that same effect. People will know where it comes from and judge you for it, whether it be Ikea or George Nelson or whomever else.
livec...yea, I thought about the DIY record bookcase...but I'm not very handy with the woodworking yet and I would have needed to make multiple. Was just more convenient to grab the expedits
i like the travel suggestion! you can find the coolest things in far away places.
Honestly, really, it's how you mix it up. Nothing wrong with wanting clean sophisticated look when you come home from a long day at work. You can do classy and personal from DIY, Etsy, and Craigslist. You can also do tawdry that way too. Likewise, you can do classy and personal from big box stores by how you mix it as well. While it's great that many people have oodles of time and DIY skills to decorate their home, not everyone is so blessed. Making their home comfortable and stylish is their main goal.
In the Netherlands, *everyone* buys most of their furniture at Ikea. Even the non-Ikea stores sell looks similar to Ikea (for a lot more Euros!). Yet, I found the homes to be cozier and more stylish than most Americans'.
If you like something, can afford it, and it "fits", buy it -- whether it be from CL's, Etsy, thrift shop, or big box store.
What's a poang???
Because of u all, i ordered my first IKEA catalog, and i liked how it had all the books, magazines, catalogs in the pictures, like some real people, like my daughter and myself,
we do not have an IKEA store in our town too small, someday maybe i will be able to visit their store in a bigger city,
now my daughter looks at the IKEA store online,
Thank-You all,
washington state.

TEAMS: New England Patriots, Washington Redskins
FOXBORO, Mass. — For years now, rookie and veteran wide receivers have come to Foxboro and had difficulty picking up the Patriots' playbook. Fortunately, rookies Aaron Dobson, Josh Boyce and T.J. Moe have heard how tough the playbook can be to learn, and they're prepared. Maybe it's just naivety from the new Patriots rookies' part, or maybe they can break the curse of the newcomer at wide receiver, but all three players seem to be confident that they can pick up the complex system. That's something Patriots draft picks of the past, like Taylor Price, Chad Jackson, Brandon Tate and Bethel Johnson couldn't do in Foxboro. Even wily veterans like Joey Galloway, Chad Ochocinco and Torry Holt had difficulty with it. "I just feel like you gotta get accustomed to the playbook," Dobson said. "It's gonna seem different just because every playbook is different that you get into. As long as you stay in and get comfortable. I'll be fine." Dobson heard from coaches that it's a tough playbook to

My first attempt at flourescence microscopy, it turned out pretty good. Mitochondria are shown in red, actin is shown in green, and the DNA is shown in blue. This is actually three overlaid images. The light source is controlled to excite only one small wavelength range at a time, giving monochromatic images of specific parts of cells. From there, we can assign colors to each layer to give vivid results.

notice what some people to believe to see a disgusting feature of windows 7..
Tired of viruses? Never get them again!
People are constantly getting viruses and have no idea how or why they got them. Well certain website will trick you into downloading things… download things automatically for you… or even grab your information from your internet browser. There's a simple way to prevent this that I just [ad]recently came up with the idea to look for. I figured why not run a virtual machine like the FBI does. Basically a virtual machine is a computer inside your computer that can't make any changes to your original computer unless you specifically tell it to. Using a virtual machine you don't even need virus protection. After a little bit of searching I found sandboxie
Debugger USB Stick
Instructable is now having a usb contest… any ideas? I'm considering making a stick that can be built for debugging one you can use to press Ctrl+Alt+Delete with using a button and then have arrows and an enter button for navigation… I think I'll call it the "Broken-Windows Block". So comment your best idea of something useful that involves a usb stick
The iBass (intro)
The prebuild process has been completed, the design is planned out and all coding/prototyping is complete. It will work as an attachment for the isnare. It's casing will be of course in an altoids tin. It will be using the same technology as touch lamps.
If you are wondering how this works, touch lamps use a component called touch capacitive sensor, which it uses very little electricity to check the capacity of whatever is roughing it is. Imaging a sink turning a faucet on, when it is turned on it is streaming directly onto the bottom on the sink, this is just like a touch circuit when nothing is touching it. But say we put a cut underneth the faucet and now It begins to fill up, an nothing is touching the bottom. This is just like a touch circuit when it is being used. It works simply by testing to see if capacity has changed and this is the technology the iBass is using. Check back for the finished iBass and the build process. Until then keep rocking your isnare and send and solos in if you got something good.
The iSnare
So Today I finally finished my long awaited Coffee Cup Project. I wanted to do something more creative that would beat out the competition by using technology, well its safe to say that I think I have a good chance with my new invention the iSnare. Its capable of producing a real-like snare drum sound and also playing music. I've always wanted to make one ever since the first year I was in high school. Well I've finally made one.
Advances in Power and Technology
Today while surfing instructables and google I was able to find out a lot more about ways we can be even more efficient with technology.
The most interesting thing I came across was the
Jewel Joule Thief. I've read about them tons of times, but I've never looked into them. What a Joule Thief does is forces to get the remainging power out of a battery that would normally appear to be dead. I thought It would be useful if we would be able to make the power that we normally cannot use, well useable. So I searched how to use it to charge another battery normally. "If you build it, they will come." (Field of Dreams)
I also came across another way to get the energy we are wasting back, by using thermoelectric generators. A typical lightbulb wastes 95% of its energy as heat. Now, this is just a little heat from you're light bulb, imagine how much heat comes out the chimneys of our houses, the engines from our cars, or the steam from factories.
I say we take it back.
We have no excuse not to be efficient there is so much energy all around us. We are able to obtain energy from water, energy from wind, energy from the sun, and even energy from used soda cans?. If we have all this energy available, whats the point of wasting gasoline.
led flashlight made from scrap
Today I felt like making something new, I had an empty Altoids can laying around and a few
broken scuffed led key chains so I figured, why not put them together to make something useful. Proceeding that, I went to home depot and bought a solar powered lawn light for $5. I then combined them all to make the project you see below. All of the build process has been documented and an instructable will be has been made.

Glowing jewlrey box gift
This weekend my ex's
gf's birthday was coming up and I wanted to personally make her a present. The first thing I did was go to the craft store and got a wooden box, after that I gut the top apart and got the dimensions of the hole I made. Next I went to home depot and got a sheet of plexiglass to match it's dimensions. After all the hardware was finished next was my favorite part, the programming. I wired up 6 jumbo red LEDs to the arduino and put a fade program on the arduino.
Makeshift mintyboost
So this morning I woke up and the first thing I realized was I had forgotten to charge my phone and I also have class today. So I grabbed some wire, a battery, a 7805 regulator, and a USB hub from an old computer with a fried motherboard. In the remaining 10 minutes I wired everything together to make a makeshift mintyboost for my iPhone. Here is the result, also for housing I used a cardboard box from sparkfun.
After finishing that I wanted to get rid of the wire mod so I put it all on a board and housed it correctly in the box.

Logan • Running his hands over his short-cropped hair, it's easy for Nevin Lawson to remember the dreadlocks that used to be there.
It was an easy identifier for the senior cornerback. With his helmet off, he was instantly recognizable. But maybe Lawson wanted to shed a little bit his old self when he shaved them off before this season.
It marked a personal transformation: from college kid to a true professional. When he looks in the mirror, he's reminded of the commitment he made.
"When I'm not feeling up to working, I always remind myself, what would a pro do?" Lawson said. "Would a pro relax right now, take a day off? Or would a pro put his best effort — even though you don't feel like it but you know you have to."
Since 2010, Lawson has been as much a fixture on the field as the goalposts. He's started 35 games for Utah State, making him one of the most experienced players in the program. In the past, he's had his slip-ups and mistakes. When a yellow flag came out nearby, Lawson was often the culprit.
But as a senior, the new Nevin has been one of the best corners in the Mountain West. He's always been a solid on tackling, and has 34 this year. But he's also been better in the air, breaking up six passes while picking off three.
It's even more impressive considering some of the receivers he's played against: USC's Marqise Lee, Boise State's Matt Miller, BYU's Cody Hoffman among them. Although he was burned in a few early season games, coaches say they're seeing more and more progress from the senior leader in the Aggies' secondary.
"He came here with a mission — first of all to graduate, which he will in December — but also to give himself a shot at the next level," cornerbacks coach Kendrick Shaver said. "He sees the light at the end of the tunnel, so he's just turning it up."
Lawson is well-acquianted with the spoils of success: He saw it first-hand with the atmospheric rise of Will Davis last year from a junior college afterthought to an NFL Draft pick. Lawson was also around in the days of Curtis Marsh, who went on to play for the Philadelphia Eagles.
He's mindful that the time is coming when he'll get a shot at the next level, and he's made a point to study what others did to get there. That means watching film on his receivers until he knows their moves and tendancies better than they do. Shaver said Lawson often points out habits to him on film. That's the blueprint other corners have followed, Lawson said.
"You have to see what they did, and what made them so successful," he said. "You don't have to do what they did exactly. You can do your own way. But you can look at the things they did that were really good."
The biggest struggle of Lawson's career has been his hands. Always aggressive, he was quick to get in for contact on receivers, which resulted in the flags that so often made Utah State fans sigh.
But the reality has been recently, Lawson hasn't drawn much attention from officials. Against New Mexico, he was hit with a pass interference call, but it was his first penalty since playing USC.
"He's really worked on his hands and just running with receivers," Shaver said. "He can do that: He's the fastest guy on this team. He's just so aggressive, and that's part of it. But he's cleaned up his hands, and that's really helped him."
Lee was pretty quiet in the second half against him, and Miller and Hoffman each were non-factors. But Lawson doesn't put notches in his belt, he just moves on to the next week. This week, Chris Gant — No. 9, Lawson calls him — will be in his sights.
The pros can wait.
"I've been working my butt off to get to that point," he said. "But that's not my main thing right now. I'm trying to find a way to get my team these Ws, and if it's up to God, hopefully get in this championship game."

Will Automation Lead to Economic Collapse?
Most of the agriculture and industrial jobs are already phased out by machines. Over 70% of jobs and labor is currently to find in the service sector, but also this sector is being phased out and replaced by automation which means decreased purchasing power of the general public. Just take a look at this: http://www.thefiscaltimes.com/Articles/2012/08/20/Will-Robots-Cause-Mass-Unemployment-in-China.aspx#page1
Let's make an example as well. What exactly happens when people get automated by machines? They loose their jobs and need welfare to support themselves until they get a new job, if they ever do. But, where does welfare come from? It comes from tax payers. And do people on welfare pay taxes? They don't. So, what happens when everybody is on welfare due to automation and nobody pays taxes? This example is the reality in Michigan and the government there have been on the brink of shutting down due this exact issue. And we are beginning to see this never-ending spiral go out of control in the rest of the world. The trends are definitely there, but where's the solutions?
Is an economic collapse, in fact, an imminent event and a mathematical certainty, looking at the trends in Michigan and China? And is there a way out of this, looking at it in an economical perspective?

Jacob MSep 29 2012: Even if automation eventually lead us to nirvana, we might all burn on the way there in the riots that may ensue.
Rapid automation is certain to create vast pools of unemployed whose skills are no longer required. No alternative jobs that produce tangible goods will be awaiting. Some form of goods and services redistribution will need to be devised before people go cold and hungry.
Let say miraculously, the new economical equilibrium is achieved. All physical or routine mental jobs are automated so 99% population don't need to work. All goods and services are delivered by robots to each individual.
What will happen to the people? You can start by watching "Wall-E" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WALL-E
Think of typical side effects when people are not busy or challenged:
1) they procreate -- can automation solve issues resulting from geometric population growth?
2) they seek thrills -- resulting in risky behavior, drug use
3) they want more -- more stuff, more control over others, new social orders, revolutions, radicalism ...
So to avert these, everyone would have to be occupied with mental and physical activities to keep them busy or else suffer the consequences.
Good Luck.

The Wall Street Journal calls Apple's new iPhone 4, which will be officially rolled out Thursday, "a major leap forward" over its predecessor in both hardware and software.
It has some downsides, the WSJ says. The most important one is the overwhelmed AT&T network in the U.S.
But overall, "Apple has delivered a big, well-designed update that … keeps it in the lead in the smartphone wars," the WSJ says in a comprehensive review.
Are you planning to buy one? Why or why not?
June 23rd, 2010
8:45 am
Yes! Mine is arriving in a couple of weeks! I've been waiting to get an I-phone, my husband has had one for about two years and loves his. When it was time to upgrade I decided to go for the new one. I'm getting one for internet access, a great camera and video recorder, face to face chat and the thousands of apps available. So happy to read it's getting good reviews overall.

Nope-purchasing the Android Incredible. I purchased the IPhone 3g after standing in line for 4 hours only to have a phone that answered calls on it's own, dropped calls repeatedly, video quality worse than my 3 year old sony Ericsson, address book scrolling would freeze, phone rebooted on it's own without me even touching the phone.
To add insult to injury, I needed to schedule an appointment to take the darn thing back after having to prove to the Apple employees it was the phone and not the network. I laid the old Sony Ericsson next to the Iphone, the Sony had a full bars of signal strength and the Iphone had 1 sometimes no bars of strength! I received a full refund after declining the offer of a refurbished Iphone 3g and kept using my old Sony Ericsson haven't looked back since-

Of course I'm going to buy one. My iPhone 3G is incredible and I will certainly upgrade. There is no alternative to the iPhone because no one makes a product on its level.

Good luck on the Verizon network with your Droid once Verizon's network also reaches a critical mass of data-intensive smartphone users. Will you be racing to Sprint next?
June 23rd, 2010
9:30 am
Nope. Awesome phone but I am not willing to spend that much each month, I'll keep my money. And only a 3G network. Sprint has a 4G network.
June 23rd, 2010
9:49 am
I'm going to stick with my iPhone 3G for at least a little while longer. In terms of plans, it makes more sense for me to stick with AT&T (as sad as that is). In terms of phones, I'd rank my favorites as follows:
HTC Incredible (Verizon)
HTC Evo 4G (Sprint)
iPhone 4 (AT&T)
Droid X (Verizon)
Droid X ranks last mainly because I have not been able to get much information about it.
These phones are all really close, but I really like Android OS and, after upgrading, I'm not too impressed with iOS4 so far.
June 23rd, 2010
9:53 am
Buy One?
No, but I plan to TAKE the very first one I see. I will TAKE whatever I want to.
June 23rd, 2010
9:55 am
I have the 3Gs so the 4G will be a definite upgrade. The IPhone is the best phone that I have ever purchased. The Droid may be good, but the IPhone is it, plus my monthly plan is only $20 more than I paid at Sprint, but I am getting so much more.
June 23rd, 2010
10:05 am
The iPhone is great in terms of features and ease of use, but the AT&T network sucks and at the end of the day, it is still a phone. I am tired of not being able to complete a 30 minute phone call without 2 or more drops.
June 23rd, 2010
12:08 pm
Never an Apple product again. It is a race leading nowhere.
June 23rd, 2010
1:47 pm
Hopefully, Apple will wise up and put this great phone on a network where you can actually send and receive calls. I had the 3GS for 9 months and the dropped calls, poor battery life, horrible customer service and spotty network caused me to cancel my service. Apple must have a sweet deal because I would never go back no matter how great the phone is. ATT has too many issues to mention….
June 23rd, 2010
2:59 pm
I will be upgrading to the iPhone 4 and will also be buying 3 more as presents. My parents who have had such a hard time learning to text have done easily with the iPhone. Plus one more for my brother, our whole family is going iPhone.
June 23rd, 2010
5:32 pm
It's simple: it does everything many need while doing it in a manner that's intuitive. And, it looks sexy. My mother, who does not even know how to turn on a computer, let alone send a text message, does online banking, texting, email, and photos on her 3G. IT WORKS, and PEOPLE ARE EXCITED TO USE IT. Bad press, good press – the iPhone is being talked about more then any other smartphone. (disclaimer: I owned a BB Bold and 2 Droid phones. They don't touch the iPhone.)
June 23rd, 2010
5:37 pm
2 more cents: AT&T's network is sluggish at times because they have a huge subscriber base with heavy data users (looks like people are enjoying to use their iPhones all the time). If Verizon had as many of these then their network would, too, experience problems. Hey, it's a small price to pay for being a successful carrier. The other guys wish they had that problem – I would! Finally, AT&T moved to a "pay for" program in terms of data usage. With its planned upgrades and new pricing structure, these problems will dissipate. Truly, one cannot not actually believe that there is such a thing as "unlimited."
June 24th, 2010
7:47 am
Verizon had a very large base of data-intensive users. Especially with Blackberry customers. So I don't think that argument holds water. Nevertheless, I think all carriers will faces slow network issues with the lack of cell phone towers. And as we are well aware here in Georgia, NIMBY rules even if the tower looks like a big ol' pine tree. LOL!
June 24th, 2010
7:58 am
No. Don't need it, don't want it, can't afford it.
June 24th, 2010
8:26 am
As my name implies, of course. However, beeing an Apple fanboy, I know it's best to wait until the next revision. Early adopters always get burned, and the preliminary results indicate that is the case now (yellow blotches on the Retina display, dropped calls due to new antenna configuration touching your hand, etc.). Of course, that's easier said than done since I have a reservation and I desperately want.

If I was interested in dealing w/ the bag of hurt that is AT&T (customer service nightmare I've experienced on top of their network), I'd at least wait until they resolve the screen yellowing problems as well as the left-handed signal problems. Having to buy a $30 piece of silicone to insulate their new external antenna is not a real solution.
I'm going to hold out till July to see how the new Samsung Galaxy S looks on TMobile. Right now the Evo is still the top phone given its features and relatively cheap plan. W/ my corp discounts a 2 line family plan is ~120/mon including data and taxes. I haven't been able to find anything from AT&T or Verizon for less than $150+ w/ fewer min/txts.

Of the 3 people I know that plan on getting this latest "look at me" piece of technology … one claims he can't make his mortgage payment, another had her car reposessed recently and yet another complains his child support payment is too high. That pretty much says it all!

I pre-ordered mine and received an email confirmation saying it should be delivered today. I had no problems with pre-ordering the phone through AT&T and look forward to playing with it later today. I upgraded from the 3G because it operated really slowly and the iphone 4 seems to be a significant step forward in terms of form and function.

I am really curious as to why so many people are in line. According to an email ATT employees received the phone is available today, 6.24.10 for those that PRE-ORDERED the phone. On Tuesday 6.29.10 the phone will be available at retail stores for those that did not pre-order.

I have ordered mine but it won't arrive for another couple of weeks. I'm cool with that. There isn't enough tea in China to entice me to stand in a 5000 deep line for anything!

Having a fully functional phone with everything I actually need (including no contract) for under 10 bucks a month, and having a brain to go with that, no, I'm much better off all around without one. Not to mention that AT&T is holding users for ransom with their data tier program and the worst network and service on the planet.
June 24th, 2010
10:18 am
you all realize that if Verizon had near the data users ATT has that its network would flat out crash. AT&T has one of the stronger networks it is just overloaded. I have had AT&T since 1997, switched briefly to T-mobile and know plenty of people with other networks and they all equally suck. Also no smartphone i have ever had has worked as smoothly as the iPhone, it led me to switch to all Apple products and reduced my stress 100%, no more spyware and computer crashes. Also if you use your phone for you know, those things everyone used to have called jobs instead of watching Justin Beiber videos on youtube, then the feature of getting online and sending and receiving emails while on a call would be a feature that could not be given up to switch to another network.

Yes the service is a little sluggish. Yes the phone and service is more. I upgraded from my blackeberry years ago and never looked back. I live on my phone and it is by far the best phone I have ever used. Great apps. Great functionality. The bottom line is you cannot afford an iphone, don't buy one.
June 24th, 2010
10:22 am
Also don't know what all the fuss about the pre-ordering was, i ordered mine the first day and received it the day before it was released. Maybe thats my reward for being a loyal customer and not switching networks every time a call is dropped.

ATT store just told me that they did not receive any 32gb versions of the iPhone 4. Apparently its a nationwide thing, and only the 16gb version is available for those who pre-ordered…if only I had known I'd be guaranteed my iPhone if I spent LESS. Anyone else experiencing this problem?

The reason I have accumulated the wealth I have today is because I don't pay $400 for a phone when I can get one for free. I noticed from the photos that most of the people in line appear to be twentysomethings who probably are taking their rent money and buying an over-priced phone. Sad.

Big Al some people need a phone that can conduct business to continue amassing wealth. I don't know of any smartphone you get for free and if i had some motorola flip phone that only made and received calls my job wouldn't last long. I speculate you made your "wealth" several decades ago, the game has changed sir. I need a phone with the highest email and data capabilities and it also acts in place of a lap top when out of the office, makes it much more efficent to travel when i dont have to lug a computer around.

After these poor saps spend (i.e. waste) all that time waiting in line for these overpriced devices at Atlanta malls, how many of these people will have their shiny new toys violently stolen away from them by Obama & Mike Vick Worshippers who have comparable amounts of non-productive hours in their days, lower inhibitions about obeying the law and no respect for the property of others?

Why does there have to be some competition, droid, blackberry, iphone, they all are for the same purpose its like personally attacking someone for their preference of Ford or Chevy. If you don't have a need for anyone of these phones, which ever one your prefer then you either don't have a job or you won't have one long because some "20 something" with the ability to be constantly connected will come in and be more efficient than you. At the pool, the beach, Turner Field for a weekday game, an airplane, or anywhere else i never take a "vacation day" i'm always there in touch and "at my desk". If thats too advanced for you then man the world will pass you by.

As for the people standing in line, they are either not too quick on the uptake or get off on going to the apple store. I got online, had it delivered yesterday, and set up 30 minutes later for a conference call.

Miami (FL) vs. No. 21 Virginia Tech: Why Frank Beamer Should Be Considered Elite
Source: Bleacher Report NCAAF - Oct 8, 2011 at 1:16 PM
Frank Beamer will lead his Virginia Tech Hokies today in a home contest against conference rival Miami Hurricanes. The Hurricanes will look to earn some respect with a win, and the Hokies hope to keep their ACC titles alive with a win. One edge that the Hokies are sure to have in this game is Frank Beamer. Beamer has been a great coach in his career and has won ballgames. It may not always be pretty, but wins matter.He has done more than most, but the question still remains, is Frank Beamer really among the college football coaching elite? Beamer began his coaching career at Maryland as a graduate assistant in 1972. Ever since the first day as a coach, Beamer has been focused on putting quality defense on the field and earning the respect

In 1873 ship-building and ship-repairing company was founded in Japan. There was an emblem depicted on the ship flags (three diamonds) which is today world known. In 1918 the first truck that became a part of the company's range was introduced, it was named T1. That freight vehicle had passed a 1000 km reliability test and already in 1924 the company puts heavy-duty trucks and buses into production under Fuso brand name.
Mitsubishi light-duty trucks history is the Mitsubishi Canter model history. This truck has become the most extensive manufacturing truck whenever produced by the Japanese Company.
Mitsubishi Canter history started in 1962. That was the year when Mitsubishi T720 light delivery truck was designed and prepared for the market. Right the next 1963 year the model that boasted of 4 tons carrying capacity was put on the market. The truck was provided with four-cylinder 2.0-liter diesel engine capable of 68 hp at 4200 revolutions per minutes. In 1968 the model was seriously restyled. It was provided with 75-hp diesel power plant and with a middle class Jupiter truck chassis configuration. Now it was called T90. There is also an extended wheelbase truck featuring gasoline powered engine in the Canter range. In 1972 Canter carrying capacity was increased to 3.5 tons.
In 1973 third generation Canter made its debut. It was T200 provided either with gasoline powered engine that put out 100 or 92 hp or with 80-horsepower diesel power plant.
In 1978 Mitsubishi Canter was once again restyled. 90-hp diesel engine was introduced and a new extended width modification entered the model range.
80-horsepower diesel engine of 1.5 ton carrying capacity modification and a 3.5 ton one with wide cab were introduced in 1980. A truck with a duplex cab was put on the market a year later.
From 1982 Mitsubishi Canter was provided with turbocharged direct-injection diesel engine that put out 120 hp and in 1984 an automatic transmission model came into the market.
In 1985 Mitsubishi Canter exterior was dramatically changed. Power plants range at that time included 110-horsepower direct-injection diesel engine and a modernized 4D32T capable of 130 hp. In 1986 all-wheel drive modification Canter FG was introduced. It had two cabs to choose from, a standard and a wide ones.
The same year all-wheel drive Mitsubishi Canter became the first Japanese truck to have entered Australian Wynn`s Safari Rally.
In 1993 Mitsubishi Canter was once again restyled. The main emphasis was laid on comfort and ease of control increase. Mitsubishi Canter gas engine modification was introduced in a year.
In 2002 Mitsubishi Canter truck another restyling took place.Volkswagen Golf
Priveous model's circular and domelike design features were left and emphasised. New TT model seems to be more extended. It is 4178 mm lengthway and 1842 mm widthway now, that is it has become 137 mm longer and 78 mm wider than the previous model. The body is made of steel and aluminium and is provided with ASF space frame designed by Peugeot Company. Not a single Peugeot model featured such a material combination before that. The body is 69% aluminium. Steel elements that make up 31% are located in the automobile's rear end. They assure necessary load distribution between the axles.
At 120 km/h speed and over there is a spoiler moving out of the trunk door appears. This is done so that the the automobile was closer to the roadbed.

Is this a horror or a love story?
I started this in mid October for the NG halloween thing, but once I realized I was going to miss the deadline I started taking my time. This probably took me around 3 months in total as there was definitely an entire month worth of screwing around and playing XBox Live arcade... THAT MONTH WAS WORTH IT THOUGH.

VRMLPronounced ver-mal, and short for Virtual Reality Modeling Language, VRML is a specification for displaying 3-dimensional objects on the World Wide Web. You can think of it as the 3-D equivalent of HTML. Files written in VRML have a.wrl extension (short for world). To view these files, you need a VRML browser or a VRML plug-in to a Web browser.
VRML produces a hyperspace (or a world), a 3-dimensional space that appears on your display screen. And you can figuratively move within this space. That is, as you press keys to turn left, right, up or down, or go forwards or backwards, the images on your screen will change to give the impression that you are moving through a real space.

Early Preventative Orthodontic Treatment
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children receive a consult with an orthodontist at an early age for a number of reasons. An orthodontic specialist can detect present or potential problems with emerging teeth and jaw growth and spot jaw problems such as one jaw is not growing at the proper rate or one jaw is too narrow or wide or even crooked. Much like catching a harmful disease early on in order to treat it effectively before it does excess damage, early orthodontic treatment may prevent more serious orthodontic issues from being a big problem later in the child's life.
Early preventative orthodontic treatment, or phase 1 treatment, usually begins when a child is between the ages of seven and nine when there is still a combination of baby and adult teeth present in the child's mouth. The objective of early preventative treatment is to prevent developing orthodontic problems, address them early, and reduce the need for further treatment later on. Most phase 1 treatments require a second phase to achieve the final correct placement of the teeth and jaws, but catching problems early can reduce the length and scope of the second phase.
Early orthodontic treatments can include correction of a cross bite to prevent improper jaw growth and excess wear on the teeth, space management to prevent crowding teeth and to allow room for new teeth, and correction of protrusive upper incisors to reduce excess wear on them. This early treatment can also correct harmful oral habits, lower the risk of damage to the teeth, improve the patient's appearance, guide jaw growth, and help guide new, permanent teeth into their correct position. Orthodontic devices and appliances may be used to achieve correct jaw growth and help direct the teeth into an ideal position. This provides for a solid and healthy foundation for permanent teeth to settle into. For instance, a space maintainer is an orthodontic appliance that reserves some space for permanent teeth to grow into in an ideal fashion. This device and more devices like it, such as a cross-bite appliance, can save time and money in the long run, preventing more severe orthodontic problems from occurring.
In addition to the potential problems we have talked about thus far, in many cases a child's baby teeth do not fall out on their own and may need to be extracted in order to make room for the permanent teeth.
Recent studies suggest that crooked teeth, oral overcrowding, and other orthodontic problems have become more common just within the past century. Some experts claim this is because less women breast feed and use bottles instead, which could have an effect on the malleable palate of babies. Other reports indicate that genetics and accidents affect this increase in the incidence of orthodontic problems.
The period of early preventative treatment for orthodontics may last for 10 to 18 months with periodic office visits which can be scheduled every four to six weeks, depending on the patient and his or her needs. Since the mouth and jaws of children remain somewhat soft and changeable during the process of tooth eruption, this is an optimal opportunity for reshaping and expanding the upper and lower palate to make an environment ideal for incoming teeth. When the mouth is properly prepared to receive new teeth, you can often circumvent the need for future tooth extractions and also prevent problems such as tooth impactions. An orthodontist in Canberra can also address issues that contribute to speech impediments, thumb sucking, and difficulty swallowing.

Eric O'Flaherty said Sunday morning his sore back is continuing to improve and he hopes with another day or two of rest he can get back into a game in Pittsburgh.
"The plan is to try to throw a game or two in Pittsburgh, so you're not rusty at all for the playoff game," O'Flaherty said. "But it feels a lot better today than it did two days ago."
He woke up Friday with a stiff back and it gradually worsened throughout the day. But O'Flaherty, who has had back problems throughout his career, considers this a minor flare-up. He's figuring if he and the Braves play it right, it won't go beyond that.
"I've actually made a lot of progress, even since a couple days ago," he said. "I was pretty lucky I haven't had any problem with it at all this year. It's not the best timing, but it's not the worst either."
O'Flaherty said he was just telling his fiancé Heather Gualco he couldn't believe he's pitched all season without his back flaring up. He maintains a strict regimen of stretching and exercises every day to guard against it.
He missed a little over a week in June when he had some elbow stiffness but has otherwise been healthy.
O'Flaherty is just thankful this happened with a week to go before the Braves would play in a one-game wild card playoff on Friday. He missed the playoffs in 2010 because he was dealing with complications from mononucleosis.
O'Flaherty is the Braves' primary setup man for closer Craig Kimbrel. The left-hander hasn't given up a run since July 15, pitching 27 consecutive scoreless outings over 24 innings since then. He is 3-0 with a 1.76 ERA in 63 appearances this season overall.

Hey David,
I've been meaning to ask this every time a story comes up on EOF's back issues. As someone who feels back flare-ups, too, do you know his stretching regimen? What exercises he adheres to during the season to stay in shape and prevent those back flares?
Thanks for all the reporting (so far!) this year. Fine job again.

Gibson appeared at the New York Public Library on Friday night for the LIVE From the NYPL series, and it was something of an occasion. Gibson, as active as he is in social media, is somewhat known for begging out of extraneous obligations while he is in the process of writing a novel, which he is now. He did not explain why he broke his self-imposed solitude, but he did make some news, as he read publicly for the first time pages from his upcoming novel.

That would be true if you only needed to down a boss a few times to progress past. I have been doing full clears of kara for the last two and a half months. The thrill of downing bosses has long since passed. People haven't been farming Illidan for six months just for the thrill. The thrill of downing a boss is great the first few times, after that it is the thrill of loot.

15 minutes of bliss
Buddha number 2 (the photo has its defects)
Close up of a post card (don't remember where it's from or who sent it)
This is what I always aspired to.This constant awareness of humanity, of suffering, of doing the right thing and understanding (and acting upon the knowledge of) mortality and love.
I never practiced hard or long enough, but it is still something I can try to do every day. I always found that art of any kind that captures this combination of love and sorrow and love again moves me in ways nothing else does.

Don't know where it goes - but it's only me and I walk alone….
I walk this empty street, on the boulevard of broken dreams…
I walk alone.
My shadow is the only one that walks beside me.
Cold and hungry, I must keep moving.
Sometimes I wish someone out there would find me.
Until then, I walk alone.
