Furniture & Layout Ideas for My New Studio?
Good Questions
Q: I'm moving to a really fabulous but really tiny alcove studio apartment in Fort Greene, Brooklyn. The approximate square footage of the entire unit is 400 square feet, with 250 square feet in the living/sleeping area.
I'd really love some tips on furniture arrangement to highlight the high 11' ceilings, wall-to-wall windows, the fantastic view of Manhattan, and to help keep the place feeling airy.
Right now I don't have any furniture, so I'll be starting from scratch. I feel as if any "regular sized" furniture will make the space feel even tinier than it already is. Each square in the grid shown above is 1 ft. Help!

The only suggestion I have is to put a full or queen bed parallel to the wall in the sleeping alcove so that you can borrow some of the space in this area for the living room.
How tall are your ceilings? Many people build a sleeping loft to maximize space.
I love this view! You are one lucky person!
Sometimes one or two "regular sized" functional and attactive furnishings are much less cluttering than multiple smaller pieces. With those wide windows, I don't think that you will have to worry about furniture ruining your sense of airiness. Just keep the window treatment to a minimum. Enjoy your new home!
11ft high ceiling gives you an incredible advantage, Andrea: you can double up your space, going vertica!
Maybe not a 100% increase, but sufficiently so.
Let's divide your space by function and quadrant.
The bath is not "transformable", so we'll leave it out of planning.
Lower left corner, where you have your big closet next to column, is your sleeping area. If you invest in an elevated platform, say at 5'9" off the floor, and use it as a sleeping "nest", you'll gain an area of at least 40sf (6'10"x6'), and have an added bonus of hiding from view your sheets and pajamas. It's possible to construct a ladder so it'll take up space next to column (and be supported by it), so the interruption on the main level will be minimal.
Underneath you could put a substantial desk (up to 6'long) with computer/music/bill files, a desk chair and few small furnishings (full height mirror next to closet, f.ex) - and you still have uninterrupted view, nothing blocks your window wall, and you already have two major functions solved: Sleep and Work.
Now let's move to the lower right corner: you have about 2 of wall space to the right of door, perpendicular to entry-wall, for a "landing pad". Great!
And you have an excellent size kitchen, with almost 5' of working surface and a decent "efficiency triangle" (movement between 3 points - fridge, stove and sink). All you need to complete it is a 3'x3' table with 2 chairs (could be a model with hidden extension leaves), placed at 2'6" distance from either counter , so the 2 side w/o chairs are closest to kitchen. If you plan to have visitors and so need more chairs, you could store additional ones under your sleeping platform - plenty of space there. Buy the stylistically neutral type, so they don't look like specifically "kitchen" chairs - and they will serve double function as "guest" ones grouped near your desk. That's your other function, Eat.
So now you are left with the most pleasant one: Relax. You have the last quadrant , upper right corner, for a seating group - and here the amount/size of furniture depends on how many visitors you are planning to have. There is a space for a bif, up to 7' wide sofa - but maybe you don't need one, not even a small one, and 2 comphy chairs, a decently-sized coffee table and a small (up to 3'6 long) credenza-type cabinet or bookcase along the right wall - is enough. Again, the view is uninterrupted, oyu have plenty of space for circulation, and minimal amout of furniture.
You did great, Andrea - the place is lovely and could be made into a warm and stylish home. I could assist you further, if you like.
I am in the same building as you. I have a slightly different layout but this is what I did with my place:
I would think about using a couch facing the window to define the living area from the kitchen, put a chair in the corner to the right and then put your bed facing the living area with a nice bench or something at the end of it that you could use for seating. You could put a long low bookcase in front of the PTAC to hide it.
You will love living in Ft. Greene! I moved away 2 years ago and still miss it...
As for furniture, one thing I've done in small apartments that it looks like you have room for is to put a counter height table in the kitchen space - pull up a couple of stools and you have a breakfast bar/dining area and it's also useful for prep space when cooking. You can see what I mean here (although you can find much cheaper options): http://tinyurl.com/y9vw6rd
I've also found that a (small-scale) sectional sofa ends up taking up less space than a couch plus one or two chairs.
Since you already have a grid of your apartment's layout, why not make a few cutouts (to scale) of potential furniture pieces and play with them in the space?
I love this part! If it were me, I'd have the couch (full-length, but maybe a vintage couch that's not quite as deep?) face the windows, away from the kitchen, with an armchair and/or entertainment arrangement on either side. The living room wall would be a great place for vertically hanging art (maybe many pieces all the way up the wall?) or a tall mirror - something big. I'd put a large, tall, double sided bookcase between the living and sleeping (or maybe even two bookcases back-to-back, but ones without solid backs) - this creates such good storage while dividing a room and giving your bedroom a doorway. And you can see through it, so that helps keep the airy feel. Even if you do find very tall bookcases, 11' is high enough that you can probably put plants or lamps on top - either of which would draw the eye up. Seems like your bed should probably face the living room with walking space near the closet. I'd probably also try to find something that could double as a kitchen island and dining table - ideally something with additional storage below.
My space has 10' ceilings, but walled-off rooms, most of which are less than 10' wide. Your space seems much easier to work with. Biggest challenge: balancing on a ladder to hang things.
You seem to have plenty of room to do whatever you want. It really depends on whether you want to separate the living and sleeping areas or just have one big living space. If it's the former, but the headboard of your bed against the wall in the sleeping area and put an expedit or other open-type bookcase at the foot of it. Then your sofa (assuming you have one) will probably have to sit in the open in that area between the kitchen and the living room. For an open space, do the same with the bed but put your sofa at the foot of the bed. Use the wall space in the living area for bookcases/media storage and put a small table and a couple of chairs in front of the window for an eating area and more seating. OR - I can't tell if there's enough room in your kitchen area for an Ikea or Crate & Barrel island and a couple of bar stools, but if there is (and I encourage you to do this if you like to cook - I have put an island in a really small kitchen like this in a condo before and I really liked having the additional counterspace and storage), you can do that and then put a desk in front of the window in the living area.
@ Andrea & Lindsay - I am in love love love with these studios. Do you mind messaging me the building info so I can potentially be your new neighbor this summer? Thanks! firstname.lastname@example.com
You might consider a murphy bed/storage solution like this:
It was custom built using Ikea cabinets and a murphy bed kit. It's really gorgeous! I would also consider some kind of kitchen island for added work space.
Good luck!
FYI i think the building here is 80 dekalb (http://dklb.com/). i looked at an apartment here a few months ago. the building is gorgeous and so are the units. i just didn't like the location compared to where i am now. i think prices then were 1900 for a studio, around 2100-2200 for 1 bedrooms.
How did you render your floor plan? Looks great.
great space! I'm with the folks that advise fewer regular size pieces of furniture will actually make the space look bigger and be more comfortable as well. I've done this myself.
You don't need much.
Sofa, bed, tall storage piece (armoir type) table (think about counter height) and 2 chairs. Big art, Big mirror. I might also avoid rugs as they tend to chop up a space. Just cozy runners on either side of the bed.
i wouldn't do a loft bed, but instead put full height shelves in the living area. then you can have a bed, two arm chairs, a small dining table with chairs, and a trunk. that way it will feel more open and not claustrophobic. i would for-go a sofa in this space and maybe consider a day bed in place of a real bed.
I'd imagine this as a great luxurious hotel:
In the sleeping alcove, I'd choose an upholstered bed & headboard in a full size (not queen) - and a pair of small 18" square nightstands with drawers and a pair of matching lamps to go against the wall in the sleeping alcove. (A bed with a mattress-lift base would be perfect so that you can use the space in the base of the bed for off-season storage.) At the foot of the bed, I'd choose a pair of upholstered X-Based benches that can be used anywhere as extra seating.
If the closet isn't fitted w/ organizers - Get it done. Lots of drawers, double hanging to take advantage of the height and shelves for shoes, sweaters, etc. all enclosed behind doors.
In the kitchen, I'd find a tavern-height round table - preferably one with shelves in the base - with a pair of barstools with backs for comfortable seating. This would work as both an island for the kitchen as well as a dining/work area with your wireless laptop. A hanging chandelier above on a dimmer would provide great task lighting which could be dimmed down for a cozy dinner for two.
In the Living Room - Don't go the sofa/chair route.
Instead, choose a matching pair of luxurious clubchairs with a matching ottoman. Place them in the center of the Livingroom facing one another with the ottoman in the center between the two with a tray on top, and the entire tableaux in a large 6x9 rug that's angled into the room. Small round side tables and a floorlamp for reading would round out this area.
A tall 36-42" wide cabinet on the wall next to the fridge with with lots of drawers below, space for the TV above so that it's visible from the bed, and enclosed shelves above for your electronics, wireless router, etc. would be perfect for general storage.
The small niche next to the front door needs a narrow dresser for storage and a place to stash gloves, hats, mail, etc - A mirror above and a tray on top for keys, etc.
The column facing the kitchen is where I'd mount a tall ornate dressing mirror.
Choose fabrics wisely - At most, one pattern, one coordinating stripe or plaid and two solids that relate to that pattern (If you choose leather chairs - That's one solid). Use this palette of fabrics throughout the space as your upholstery, pillows, floor-to-ceiling draperies and barstool seats. Keep the bedding simple: like a hotel, never underestimate the power of plain white bedding.
I dont understand the idea of a murphy bed or a loft bed. I live in 250 sq feet and have a beautiful full size bed and couch etc...!
First off, I love these apartments to. I feel that the Architect did a great job dividing up the space so that it is still livable! Secondly Living in a studio myself i know the challenge of making things work, which being an Interior Designer makes it worse!
Before i would do any think i would do some soul searching as to what your style is, you want antiques, modern furniture or both. Secondly get magazines and look at it and take out the pages that you love, then take a posted not or paper and write why you love it. this can help you with everything from color to furniture to even layout. you can do the same thing online here to by bookmarking pages and in the title noting what u like! then take all of these and get online a look for similar shapes and colors that you are interested in.
I think since you have no furniture at all i would start to think about storage needs first. For example clothes storage (since you have a closet maybe consider a trip to a home Improvement store for ideas on organizers to maximize on it). Secondly i would think about outer general storage needs like books, movies, cd's etc... and what kinda of requirements you need and i think that will tell you what kind of storage you need for a TV and equipment.
For your sleeping area i would get a Queen bed (they are 5' x 6'8") which will fit great in our space! consider side table here that have closed storage. some great lamps to frame out the bed and either a great high head board (could be made of fabric, or an architectural piece) or if no headboard consider a large inspiring piece of art.
For your kitchen i feel your neighbor's solution is a great on because it includes storage and table space while being compact, and as a bonus for u could also be used as an island!
For your living area i would buy a loveseat that is 6' or under and has a neutral color. but instead of placing end table's around it, Get a shelf or sofa table and place it behind the sofa, allowing a place for lamps and art work display but not cluttering up the visual space around the sofa. Then i would select a small coffee table (round or rectangular) just make sure its less that 2' wide or it will take up a lot of room. and then for me i would get two fun side chairs, they can be different maybe even one that swivels around to be placed by the kitchen so guests can sit between the space. place and end table by the side chair by the window with a lamp etc... Get a great rug, and accessories that u love.
To end my epic note. Make sure you love everything you buy. If you question it in anyway, move away from it a think about it. I love to shop online first to browse for things, but i always go to the store to see them in person because color and texture are always different in pictures than in person (This helps with shipping costs etc...). And above all have fun, let your apartment reflect who you are and the way you live.
Make it you!

I would go for a queen bed in the sleeping quarters (foot of bed pointing out towards living area of course)..a platform bed would be ideal with a streamlined floating shelf for a nightstand. You could also put an upholstered storage bench at the foot of the bed and puill it out for extra seating when necessary. Then in the living area, I would do two chairs and a coffee table. I think positioning a sofa would just be too difficult and a small love seat-size sofa would only call attention to your limited space. Chairs would be much easier to maneuver around and reposition as you need. A round coffee table would be ideal as well, since you are going to be moving around it quite a bit. For the kitchen, I would get a tall but small pub-height table with two stools that can tuck underneath when not in use. The taller height will mean extra counter space as well, as you can comfortably work at it if necessary. Amazing space and super amazing view...I'm jealous!!
Good Luck!
Low. Pale. Monochromatic. Reflective. Transparent.
Don't think "against the walls" is the only place for furniture.
Don't think "against the windows" is NOT a place for furniture.
If you'd like any more help with planning or shopping, look me up on HGTV.com! If the link from my name on my AT profile doesn't work, search "Bachelor Party" in the Rate My Space section. :)
Some things I think would work well:
- an island with 2 stools/chairs floating in the middle of kitchen.
- a landing pad with some coat hooks and storage at the wing wall right next to the entry door.
- you could easily partition off the sleeping area with some curtains.
- sofa facing the windows, for sure.
This is a great open plan!
lrayjones I thought your place was incredible! Just perfect! Great job!
I really love this space, and am envious of your view! Wow!
Here's how I would go.
Your sleeping alcove area truly lends itself to creating a nice little cave for yourself. Were it me, my full-sized bed would be centered on that wall or canted a little bit toward the closet, headboard against the wall. I'd put the TV on the wall next to the refrigerator, but my main reason for that is I like to watch TV and movies in bed on occasion. You could also put your bed parallel to the wall, headboard to the closet and foot to the window to create a dressing area between the closet and the bed. This really depends on your dresser situation. I do recommend a full-sized bed, though. Small enough for the space, and big enough for two.
I'm with @bepsf when it comes to a tavern-height table and a decent pair of chairs. You don't really need a couch when you have your bed right there, and I know for me, some of my best naps have occurred when I've been curled up in my favorite chair. A tavern-height table would take advantage of, and highlight, your vertical space.
You could also use floor-to-ceiling draperies over your sleeping window and - wait for it - closet. Using drapes or curtains over the closet will soften the room, hide your stuff, and give your sleeping area a wonderful cave-like feel.
If you have a crap-ton of clothes, don't be afraid to get a low dresser as a TV table. You can always put components like the DVD player and Wii next to the TV.
Excellent suggestion!! It's the solution to my space problem, too!!
The other key I've found to studio living is to set up your main seating so it is NOT facing your bed... so as you sit there, reading, watching TV, you are not reminded you share your living room with a bed. :)
I'd REALLY love to furnish that space!
And unless you have the bed already, do a FULL bed (not a Queen). You'll be happy you did.
It looks like no one has has suggested that you start by figuring out what you want your space to look and feel like. We don't have a sense of your personal style.
I agree that smaller scale furnishings will be best -- Crate and Barrel and Room and Board both have excellent quality small-space upholstered and case goods, with both minimalist and more detailed options.
What about a daybed? I wonder if you could find a full-sized one (big enough for sleeping!) and have it face out into the living space. It would expand your daytime or social space into nearly the whole room.
I see a screen or divider coming off the column wall between the sleeping alcove and living room. long enough to cover the width of the bed and two small bedside tables and leave a wide enough opening to keep it feeling open. It could be something translucent to allow the light to flow through during the day and see lighting through when you have lamps on in the sleeping alcove.
Lighting is going to be important, keep the lamps low and dimmers.
Place your bed so the head of the bed is coming off the screen divider then when you lay in bed you are facing the wall and looking at the view to your right. I would just have a bed and two tables and big art on the wall in the sleeping area.
babyfishmouth- I was thinking the same thing in going with a small island in the kitchen with stools. Then again I would love to see a small table with two chairs up in the right corner at the window, what a loving spot to dine or sit and have your coffee.. and a spot for a beautiful floral arrangement think 1940 glamour apartment how they have a small dining table near the balcony window that functions as a dining table, place to play cards and when not using a place to put a lamp and flowers.
I agree with bepsf I would go the two big club chair way and not the sofa.
What a fun space to work with. Good luck.
Hi Andrea,
My husband and I lived in a similar studio in brooklyn heights. Here is a link to our space to help you out!
This space would be a lot easier to work with were it not for the arbitrarily slanted exterior walls, and what's that thing between the windows-- some sort of column?
(Why do architects sacrifice usability for an eccentric exterior? They oughtta be flogged, or just forced to live in their own buildings.)
Such wonderful comments by everybody. Love the details and ideas. Thank you so much. Perhaps one day I can give a house tour!
Again, thank you for all your help, everybody!
You could install one of those fold up beds in the sleeping alcove, the kind that goes up against the wall? And put a nice cafe table in front of those windows, the kind that accomodates two people. Right now they are in stores full force--as outdoor furniture, and Im inspired by them. With your view of a lifetime, you'd eat your breakfast there, dinner for two, or just tea. And the sleeping alcove would be more like a dining area to your living room. Your clothing, instead of trying to mask it, put it out there!! Get one of those racks on wheels from the fashion industry or retail stores--and bam, you've got mobile closet. I think that'd be really chic, actually (arrgh, why cant I be this inventive when it comes to MY space. Yours is so inspiring and fabulous though.)
Undies and foldable clothes can go in a trunk, and that would obviously double as a table or such. Get one of those designer steamer trunks from LV or something..or get a basic one, and wallpaper it, with your favorite designs (victorian, stripes, etc). My thinking is to minimize the bedroom function as much as possible, it would instantly suck up so much space. And bedrooms are usually in the back, where people dont see them...so when your friends walk in, it will have the look and feel of a 1BR, instead of them walking in and your beds the first thing they notice....ya know? A sofa bed is always another smart option. Day beds...eh...basically twin beds with backs. Your floors are probably some gorgeous aged wood, the bayside sleeper from Crate Barrel would be so chic in your studio.
In the sleeping alcove, I'd probably go without a headboard and keep the head of the bed at the windows. Some sort of tall bookshelf that is open on both sides would probably be decent enough separation.
In the living area, I'd put a couch along the wall the refrigerator is on with a console table behind it. If there is space, maybe a few ottomans under the window. If you have/want a television, maybe have it sitting to one side of the partition.
I'd do a small table in the kitchen - nothing bigger than what would seat two people unless the table has let down leaves.
If you want to get something to sit on for the foot of the bed, the very best small scale mini sofa I've found for my itty bitty studio is the Mona Sofette from Mitchell Gold. It's comfy and feels deep enough but is really petite, smaller than loveseats. It really works in place of a bench. I agree about thinking of it as a hotel room or as a very large Master Bedroom. It won't feel as overwhelming that way! If you put your head against the left wall, a sofette at the foot, you could then get a narrow sofa to face the windows , making an L with your sofette or bench. I'd do cute storage cubes instead of a coffee table so you get storage, mobile surfaces, and potential seats all in one. Then maybe a wide instead of tall dresser that faces the bed, and put your tv on that, or mount it on that wall? It can function as a little credenza on top but be your clothing dresser on the inside!
Another thought is to scrap the foot of bed seat and do a small scale sectional, where one side either faces the windows or the kitchen and the other part of the L parallel to the foot of the bed.
If you want to do wall mounted shelves, I highly recommend seeing Paul at Bed Bath and Beyond on 6th Ave. He's the best in helping you plan, cutting everything to size, mapping it out for you, etc. Way better than the Container Store system.
This way you can build bookcases, office shelves, kitchen pantry shelves, anything you want to go vertical.
oh man, I'm late to the party.
I can't believe no one's mentioned a canopy bed! I moved into a 14' x 14' studio in Cobble Hill two years ago and got the Room & Board Architecture bed with the intent of making curtains for it. the curtains still haven't happened, but I like the visual suggestion that the space marked off by the rails *is* my bedroom, even though my sofa is four feet away. with high ceilings (mine are 11', too) it's not overwhelming at all. (bonus: there's a good 15" of vertical space underneath to store stuff!)
also, if you don't feel the need for a table all the time, but you'd like it once in a while, keep your eyes peeled for a gate-leg table. I inherited one that my downstairs neighbors were getting rid of -- it's tiny when closed, but can seat four (or feed and water a whole party) when opened up.
really, the biggest thing is not to make apologetic choices because you're living in a small space. go for a queen-sized bed, not a full -- a queen is only 6" wider, but it feels so much bigger when you're sharing it. ;) stop by the Brooklyn Flea (you're so close!) and see if anything strikes your fancy. if you want to use splashy bright colors, do it! being surrounded by pieces you love makes all the difference.
Loft it! You'll add about 50% more space to the apartment. You can put a home office area underneath the lofted bed space, and hang a translucent curtain up there for more privacy. Then you can really expand your living area. Make sure that any furniture you get isn't bulky and that it has high legs. Having an inch or two of extra space underneath really opens up the room. Good luck!
please post pics when furnished!

Melanoma/Skin Cancer Health Center
Cancer Vaccine Ups Melanoma Survival
Oct. 12, 2005 - A personalized cancer vaccine extends survival for some late-stage melanoma patients, research shows.
Melanoma is very dangerous skin cancer. Advanced stage IV melanoma kills about 90% of patients within five years of diagnosis. Patients with advanced melanoma are advised to seek clinical trials of experimental treatments.
Now one of those trials seems to be helping the healthiest of stage IV melanoma patients. These so-called stage IV M1a patients are those whose tumors have spread just below the skin or to distant lymph nodes but haven't yet penetrated other organs.
The study tested a vaccine treatment -- Oncophage, from Antigenics Inc. -- in stage IV melanoma patients. Oncophage is made from a patient's own tumor cells. It stimulates powerful immune responses that attack tumor cells remaining in the body after surgery. Two out of three patients got the vaccine; the other third of patients got whatever current treatment their doctors thought best.
Antigenics released early results from the study this week. Oncophage, the company says, did not help patients whose melanoma already had spread to the lung (stage IV M1b) or to other organs (stage IV M1c).
It was a much better story for the stage IV M1a patients. These patients lived at least 50% longer than those in the doctors'-choice-of-treatment comparison group. The comparison group survived a median of 12.8 months. The M1a patients treated with Oncophage survived a median of 20.9 months.
That's exactly the patients one would expect to respond to a cancer vaccine, says researcher John M. Kirkwood, MD, director of the melanoma center at the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute. Kirkwood leads the melanoma committee of the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group, one of the largest clinical cancer research organizations in the U.S.
"A quarter or so of patients with advanced melanoma have this manifestation of soft-skin-tissue disease that does not involve internal organs," Kirkwood tells WebMD. "In that group we saw the impact of this vaccine."
Earlier Treatment, Better Results?
Based on these findings, Antigenics is designing a new clinical trial to target stage IV M1a patients. The new trial may also include patients with earlier-stage disease whose melanomas have been completely removed by surgery.
Such patients -- who run a high risk of having their cancer come back -- may be the ones who benefit most from Oncophage.
"The most rational application of this and all cancer-vaccine modalities will be the use of this vaccine for surgically treated patients who do not have any tumor remaining at all," Kirkwood says.
That may very well turn out to be the case, says Garo Armen, PhD, Antigenics Inc. chairman and CEO.
"If we can make a fundamental improvement in melanoma treatment, it would be terrific," Armen tells WebMD. "It is our opinion that Oncophage would be most effective in patients who are slightly earlier in the course of disease than traditional end-stage patients. This particular trial gives us an indication of that. We tested the vaccine in late-stage melanoma, in patients with an expected survival of six to 12 months -- but the healthier patients did much better. That is pretty much as our scientific information has told us it should be."

Sumner County parents may be surprised to learn that the county commission is sitting on $18 million from the sale of Sumner Regional in 2010. The money has remained untouched since the sale, and some parents and teachers are wondering why this is the case. "I don't see any reason why they shouldn't be able to dip into it," said Brenda Parrish a grandmother raising her two grandsons.Officials said for the money to be used, the commissioners would have to reallocate the funds which many have been hesitant to consider.They also said using the $18 million is not appropriate use for recurring expenses. However they have used money from the account to buy a building for the Sumner County School systems transportation facility.Some parents Nashville's News 2 spoke to said it is time for the commission to dip into the $18 million, other's like Sumner County Parent Melissa Luther said, "I'd rather see us do something long term, not dip into something where we're going to have the same problem next year. Raise taxes, just do, get it over with."Sumner County students were scheduled to return to school on Monday.

Bamboo Seeds and Plants
Bamboo can be found naturally occuring as far north as Sakhalin in Russia and as far south as Argentina. It grows in the East and the West. This is because bamboo is a very hardy plant that can withstand both the extreme cold and the extreme heat. For more about the different types of bamboo refer to the bamboo types section. It is very easy to find a bamboo variety that suits your aesthetic taste and the climate you live in.
There are two main types of bamboo: running and clumping. Running bamboo, as the name suggests, spreads quickly and is good for filling a large area to create privacy and shade. It is also a good way to create a natural barrier. Clumping bamboo tends to grow close together. It is much less invasive than running bamboo and makes a good feature in a garden. For information about how to grow bamboo in your garden click here to read the blog post on this topic.
Bamboo is easy to grow and doesn't require much attention. It is possible to grow bamboo organically because bamboo has a natural resistance to pests. You can either grow bamboo from seeds or from small plants.

Lack of magnesium is a major cause of leg cramps (particulary nocturnal cramps). I had them really bad with my 1st baby. They didn't come on until the 3rd trimester. I started taking a magnesium supplement and they eased off after a couple of days so i continued taking the tablets until the end of my pregnancy.
2nd time around I started taking the magnesium tablets as soon as I entered my 3rd trimester and went about 4 weeks without any cramps. Then i ran out of tablets and a few days later the cramps started! Every night for a week! So I went and bought more magnesium tablets and after taking them for 2 days (morning and night) the cramps stopped again and haven't come back yet (touch wood!)
I'm a pharmacist and see a lot of pregnant and elderly people (they are also more prone to nocturnal leg cramps) asking for help with this problem and I always recommend trying a magnesium supplement. Blackmores make one called MagMin, which is also commonly recommended by GP's.
If you are doing a lot of walking/exercise then make sure you are keeping well hydrated as dehydration is also associated with cramping muscles due to an imbalance of electrolytes (salts - one of which is magnesium).
Hope this helps those of you unfortunate enough to be suffering from leg/foot cramps. They are soooo uncomfortable!

President Obama declared today Cesar Chavez Day 2012, in honor of a civil rights and union leader, but the memorandum explaining the declaration seemed designed to remind people of Obama's reelection campaign message.
Obama's apparent evocations of himself begin almost immediately. Praising Chavez as "one of the nations great civil rights leaders," Obama says that "Cesar Chavez saw the promise of change -- the unlimited potential of a community organized around a common purpose." Not only does "change" recall Obama's own 2008 campaign slogan, but the line also recalls Obama's experience as a "community organizer."
The president also notes that Chavez was "inspired by Mahatma Gandhi, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and other visionary leaders," a historical note that would have no political overtones except for the fact that Obama has also compared himself to Gandhi and to Dr. King.
The lines of Chavez that Obama chose to quote could have been lifted from one of the president's fundraising speeches. "'We cannot seek achievement for ourselves and forget about progress and prosperity for our community,'" Chavez said, per the president. "'Our ambitions must be broad enough to include the aspirations and needs of others, for their sakes and for our own.'"
Compare that to Obama's criticism that Republicans have a "narrow, cramped vision of America" whereas his campaign offers "a vision of a big, generous, bold America, where we look out for one another," as he put it in November. In another recent fundraiser, he said, "Our politics may be divided, but most Americans understand that we're in this together. No matter who we are or what we look like, where we come from, what our names are, we rise and fall as one nation and as one people. And that's what's at stake right now. That's what this election is all about."

SA infrastructure plan 'ready to roll'16 April 2012 South Africa is ready to roll out its multi-billion rand, state-led infrastructure drive, Deputy President Kgalema Motlanthe said on Friday as the government unveiled details of the plan, which it will soon take to the provinces and other stakeholders to start implementation. The plan, first announced by President Jacob Zuma in his State of the Nation address in February, lists 17 strategic integrated projects that cut across energy, transport and logistics infrastructure to schools, hospitals and nursing colleges. Motlanthe told delegates attending the Provincial and Local Government Infrastructure Conference in Boksburg, east of Johannesburg, that public-private partnerships were on the cards, and the government would be engaging businesses on the plan.
Economic and social infrastructureThe projects cover economic and social infrastructure across all nine provinces, with an emphasis on undeveloped areas and opportunities. Energy projects will focus on supporting sustainable "green" energy initiatives through a diverse range of clean energy options. Several new hospitals will be built, and existing ones refurbished in preparation for the National Health Insurance Scheme. About 122 nursing colleges will be revamped, and 90 new schools will be built this year.
Limpopo, KwaZulu-Natal, Western CapeInvestment in rail, water pipelines, and energy generation and transmission infrastructure have been identified for Limpopo province. Officials say the emphasis here will be on coal and platinum mining for local use and export, with the region's rail capacity expected to be extended to Mpumalanga province's power stations. In KwaZulu-Natal, the plan is to strengthen the transport corridor between South Africa's main industrial hubs, while beefing up access to Durban's export and import facilities. In the Western Cape, work will focus on strengthening maritime capacity in the Saldanha-Nothern Cape linked region.
Work getting under wayEconomic Development Minister Ebrahim Patel, presenting the project plans, said these were now being aligned with human settlements and skills development planning. "The infrastructure programme has two components," Patel said. "There is a component that we are implementing now, and construction is commencing." The Presidential Infrastructure Coordinating Commission was working on guidelines to ensure clear coordination among different provinces working on this component, Patel added. "The second part deals with plans that have not been implemented because ... of lack of clarity over which sphere of government has the responsibility and ... lack of coherent business plans to unlock the finance from Treasury for these projects."
Plans to address shortage of engineersHowever, Patel said the government was concerned about the insufficient number of engineers, which could threaten the speedy implementation of some of the projects. Several strategies were being explored to address this, including entering into deals with universities and Further Education and Training colleges to ensure an expanded supply of engineers for the economy. "The broader principle is that as our infrastructure programme gathers pace, one of the key bottlenecks we are going to hit is the shortage of engineers, so we have to now ensure that there is appropriate development of new skills commensurate with the ambition of our plan," Patel said. "We think it's about time we encouraged ... engineers to come back to South Africa through the programme of work we have for them," he added. Source: BuaNews

Matt Kemp is doing everything in his power to make sure that the Dodgers make the post season, and proved it with his two home runs that gave the Dodgers a win the other day. They are now two games back, and have four games to play. The Dodgers close out their season at home against the San Francisco Giants.
The Cardinals will also close out their season at home, against Cincinnati.
Kemp, who has been trying to hard to make up for his season of being injured, said:
''Right now we have to find a way to sneak into those playoffs. We're both going to be playing good teams next week, so it's going to come down to the end. We've just got to keep going out there and playing hard and see where we end up.''
It's all up to the Dodgers batting. though. If they can hit the ball, or at least a couple of their sluggers like Kemp, Ethier and Victorino, then the Dodgers have a chance.
Their pitching hasn't been the greatest thing ever, but it certainly isn't as bad as their offense has been.
The main problem is that no matter how good the Dodgers play, the don't control their destiny and need the Cardinals still have to lose to the Reds.
So, LA's playoff hopes are still alive, no matter how small they may be.
If you include the Angels, all of the Los Angeles and Anaheim areas are holding their breath right now.

A community came together Friday night to help a neighbor and remember a special little girl -- 4-year-old Daisy Martinez.
Candles flickered as friends and family gathered at the home of Gracie Moreno. Daisy's mother was pulling into her driveway yesterday and somehow hit her daughter.
The little girl was flown to the hospital but doctors couldn't save her.
Friday, those close to the family gathered at the family house to remember the life of the 4-year-old girl and at the same time, show their support for the family -- a family that is struggling both emotionally and financially with this tragedy.
"The family's not doing too well," mourner Anita Casimir offered. "Not only did they lose their child, but they don't have the means to do a proper burial and rest her soul at peace."
Investigators tell us they are looking into the mechanical failure of the car as a cause of the crash.
The car hit the girl and then struck a gate and a utility pole.

No, but one thing is sure. The party is slipping out of the RSS hands. The new blood has realized the folly of policy of Hatred and the introspection has started. The RSS hardliners may soon find themselves under severe attack, and in the end some people may either quit on their own or might be shown the door. RSS had brought Shyamaprasad Mukherjee from Hindu Maha Sabha to form Jan Sangh.

This is only slightly off subject but could be helpful, especially for ladies who never get to use the word "heaving" as an adjective. It's a cut and paste from from an article I've got filed away under the heading, "Show off the Rack" and it's eight important tips every gal, big or small, should know about:

1. Make-Up: This tip is the gospel truth from the Queen of Cleave herself, Dolly Parton. We all pay so much attention to evening the skin on our face, but what about our boobs?! After all, all eyes are on them—even if you're surrounded by a band, Kenny Rogers, back up singers, and giant sparkly set pieces. So, use powder or bronzer and, in some cases, even blush, to make your cleavage pop and match the tan on your face. Now, think twice about using something extreme like foundation; it's only for those times when you have a blemish to hide and, even then, use sparingly. No one wants to peel off your bra and see a painted tan line…or worse yet, eat that bad make-up job!

2. Low Rider: Wear plunging necklines, like deep Vs and scoop necks. The only crew you should have on your body is a crew team! Always show at least 20% of your cleavage, which brings me to my next point….

3. Tease It: Show heavin' cleave, but do net let any of your bra show. It ruins the illusion that your boobs are in perfect shape. People should think your **** sit pretty naturally, even if it takes curved metal rods to hold 'em up. That's Victoria's Secret, so keep it!

4. Turn On Your Headlights: Now I know women find the sight of another woman's nipples unseemly—just ask Beyonce and her pointer sisters at the Obama's Inaugural Ball. However, men love it! They already have a hard time not staring at your ample bosom, but when they can see your nipples, it's like ten times the attention getter. So don't be shy about tweaking them for a special occasion.

5. Skin Tight Tops: Show the globes off! Wear tops that hug the full roundness of your breasts. Wrap tops and spandex really highlight the appealing under-boob.

6. Show Off: When it comes to ta-tas, if you can see all the supply, it lessens the demand. You can't just put it all out there, sadly. Even if you get cast in the "Rock of Love 4," do yourself a favor and never show more than 40% of your assets at any time.

7. Squeeze: Cleavage is awesome, but not when it resembles fat rolls or muffin top. Make sure your bra and you shirt do not pinch, restrain, or form a band across your boobies. Especially if you're busty, their beauty must be unencumbered.

8. Bejewel: Don't sport chokers, they can make you look saggy. Wear necklaces that dip down low to meet the top of your rack. Nothing ups the wow factor and points the eye in the right direction quite like some shiny glitz. Set the standard high!

How To Get A Free iPad
(Scroll down to get straight to the links.)
While this site is primarily about getting a free Kindle Fire, many readers also want to know how to get a free new iPad (the one with the amazing Retina display and 4G LTE capability). Yes, it's possible. In fact, the Apple iPad for free promotions have been around a lot longer, and I have helped lots of people learn how to get a free iPad without offers and with offers.
There are two general methods that are legitimate to get a free iPad: Trial offers and contests. How To Get A Free iPad recommends starting with the trial offers method:
How To Get A Free iPad with Trial Offers
Using this method with a reputable company is a sure thing. If you do everything right, you will get your free iPad. The secret is to find trial offers that have no downside for you — such as offers that cost nothing, are easy to cancel, are for a product you already wanted, or involve switching services you already have to a better deal.

Gifting Today – iPad 3
Yes, they call it the "iPad 3″ instead of just "the new iPad." But it's the new iPad. Great offer.***
How To Get A Free iPad without Completing Offers
Other than trying for an almost free iPad at penny auctions, contests are the only way to get a free iPad without offers, and the method is not guaranteed. But How To Get A Free iPadhas weeded out all the duds and we only list legit contests from reputable companies below. Just click all the links, enter a valid email address and then forget about it:
1Click Prizes Contest
NEW Very easy-to-enter contest. Just type in your first name and email. Rotating prize, so sometimes this is for an iPhone 4S.
Qubble contest

How To Get A Free iPad does not recommend entering a single contest more than once. You will likely be disqualified.

For now, the odds appear stacked against Utah. One ESPN projection system gives the Jazz just a 1.7 percent shot at making the playoffs this year.
Thunder at Jazz

Tipoff » Wednesday, 7 p.m. TV » ROOT Sports
About the Jazz » After opening the preseason with a blowout win, the Jazz went on to lose seven straight exhibition games. … Swingman Gordon Hayward led the team in scoring during the postseason, averaging 15.9 points a night. … Injuries to key rotation players have hampered production from the team's second unit.

About the Thunder » One of the teams expected to compete for the Western Conference title, led by forward Kevin Durant. … OKC is missing All-Star point guard Russell Westbrook, who is still rehabbing from an knee injury, but backup Reggie Jackson torched the Jazz for 18 points in preseason play.

But for many, there are positives no matter which way the Jazz go this year.
If the team does exceed expectations, it will mean the team's young core is capable of success. And if the team struggles, it will mean Lindsey can add another high draft pick to a roster with the financial flexibility to make a splash in next summer's free agent market.
"We knew that when we jumped into the deep end of the swimming pool there were going to be a lot of tough nights," Lindsey said. "We're going to take our medicine like men."
He added, "I think we'll be standing on sturdy ground when we come out of this."

"This invitation was perfect for our shower since we weren't allowed to reveal the gender of the baby. My fellow party planners and I loved the whimsical look and all the hearts--they serve as a perfect reminder of all the love that went into preparing for this baby and all the love that will go into raising this baby. We also like the different fonts used to communicate information and the large heart used to indicate the date of the shower. If there's one flaw with this design, it's that the font on the very last line stating where the mom is registered is too small. My eyes are pretty good, but I still have to squint!"
"I was very impressed with the design. I was looking for a very simple yet chic card for my sister's baby shower. It came in pink and the design team was able to print in blue. I keep receiving compliments on how nice they are. I will definitely be coming back!"
"I love this invitation. My only recomemdation would be to get a colored envelope. Since the invitation is white and very simple in design, a soft colored envelope would make it stand out a little more."
"My daughter's theme is "A summer son" and I thought this could work. We wanted something "boyish" as well. Your response was excellent and I received the sample in record time. But I don't think this card is going to work for our needs. If I had been able to personalize the "sunshine" part, it may have worked. It looks like I'm going to have to design a card myself after all..............."
"I am very happy with my shower invitations! The colors printed very well. the design has a very delicate look to it and the paper is nice quality. I didn't use any upgrades. Just the standard edges and paper. Everyone has said they are very cute. I would definitely recommend them o a friend."

Marian also soon died and was left to be raised by Garrow and Garrow's son, Roran. The family earned their money by doing farming and hunting. Eragon was a skilled hunter.

Eragon's life would change in the Spire when he found a strange blue "stone".Life as a Dragon RiderEragon took this blue stone home with him to Carvahall. After a few days Eragon is surprised to see a creature hatch from this egg. The creature was a rare creature, a dragon.

Return to story
By ADAM HIMMELSBACH
ASHBURN--By the time the Washington Redskins tussle with the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, they'll have had almost two weeks to bask in the glory of four glorious minutes.
They've done plenty of smiling and back-slapping since that magical Monday night comeback against the Dallas Cowboys.
Surely, you remember. Wideout Santana Moss put together his own Texas two-step, scoring a pair of touchdowns a few strokes after midnight, sending the visitors to a 14-13 win.
Redskins fans leapt and roared. Cowboys fans boiled and cringed. The victory pushed Washington into its bye week at 2-0.
But it's unknown whether the late-night elixir was just an anomaly. It remains to be seen whether the Redskins will find a way to consistently dent a scoreboard.
"Anytime you start patting yourself on the back, you're setting yourself up for a trap," center Casey Rabach said. "Except for the last four minutes of the Cowboys game, our offense has been pretty low-key."
Through two games, the Redskins have gained 669 yards on 132 plays, an average of 5.2 yards per snap. But take away the two long passes to Moss, and that average plummets to 4.2.
Five fumbles have hiccuped from their arms, two passes have been intercepted and quarterbacks Patrick Ramsey and Mark Brunell have been sacked eight times.
"It's been pretty sloppy and we've got some things to clean up," Brunell said. "We know we're headed in the right direction."
Though the Redskins plan to erase Moss' late-game heroics from their memories, they hope their opponents don't.
They hope defenses adjust their schemes and setups, because for the first time in a long time, they feel like they have a legitimate deep passing threat.
They hope opposing safeties veer a bit more toward Moss, thus freeing sure-handed veteran David Patten for a few more catches.
They hope defensive coordinators decide against piling the box with eight players, so running back Clinton Portis doesn't feel like a bug trying to penetrate a screen door.
"Hopefully now we can mix things up and keep people guessing," said Patten, who has just four catches for 31 yards in Washington's two games this season.
The Redskins have struggled to complete intermediate (15- to-25-yard) receptions. This may be attributed to a lack of pass protection.
Only eight teams have been sacked more often than the Redskins, and six of those teams have played three games this year.
"Those were very good defensive teams we were going against," coach Joe Gibbs said, "but at the same time we need to step it up on our pass protection because that's a big deal for us."
On the ground, the Redskins are simply looking for the end zone. Through two games, they've yet to score a rushing touchdown. Dating back to last season, they have just one rushing touchdown in their last five games.
"We're really starting to feel that on the line right now," tackle Chris Samuels said. "We want a touchdown, and we know how badly Clinton wants one."
So they'll continue to work. With a 2-0 mark, no one is ready to sound an alarm. Still, there's a sense of uncertainty with this oft-sputtering offense.
"With the exception of the end of that Dallas game, we know we've struggled," Patten said. "Hopefully we can do better this week and also continue to win games."Notes
Kicker John Hall continues to recover from the quadriceps injury that kept him out of the Sept. 19 game against the Cowboys. Hall has done limited kicking at practice this week, but has not set a timetable for his return. He says he doesn't expect to play until he's able to complete both field goals and kickoffs.
"I'm sick of this already," Hall said. "I just have to listen to my leg right now and not rush back too early."
Cornerback Walt Harris (calf) and safety Pierson Prioleau (hamstring) did not practice yesterday and are listed on the injury report as questionable. Tackle Jon Jansen (thumb), safety Sean Taylor (shoulder) and linebacker Lemar Marshall (groin) practiced and are probable for Sunday's game.

Bought this because I liked how black the Perversion mascara was! Plus, I really liked how pigmented and dark the Too Faced perfect eyes liner was, but couldn't stand the mess! I've been looking for something that dark. This pencil is exactly what I wanted. Dark, creamy black without all the smudge, smears, and difficulty with application. It glides on easy and really does stay put all day. I was skeptical at first because every blacker than black liner I've tried has not performed. This one has and it gives my eyes that perfect definition I was looking for. Way to go UD!

Best eyeliner ever.
I have black hair/eyelashes/eyebrows but my skin is not that dark, so I need a very pigmented, deep, dark black eyeliner or else it looks faded. This is the darkest eyeliner I have found. It glides on so smoothly and doesn't flake or lose color throughout the day.
I have very watery eyes, but this eyeliner stays put on my waterline. Sometimes, after 3 hours it will smudge a little in the outer corners of my eyes, but all I have to do is wipe it once with my fingers and it'll be okay for the rest of the day. You can also use it on your top lid to draw a straight line or a wing even if you have oily lids. The eyeliner stays creamy for 30 seconds after you apply it, so make sure not to touch it during that time period or else it will smudge and get messy.
Since it is a pencil eyeliner it finishes up quickly, so I can only afford to use it on my lower waterline (and I use drugstore eyeliner on my top lid). But it is worth the money!
Creamy, very pigmented black pencil from UD's 24/7 line. I bought a few other colours first, loved them, and decided - hey, why not buy this in basic black? Wrong.
Maybe the smudging is slightly less noticeable in some of the shimmer colours, but this smudges like crazy. I have oily lids, but even with primer and shadow it does NOT stay put. The tip dries out and you have to drag pretty hard to get solid colour build-up, it is irritating in the waterline AND if you tightline (but..this may not obviously apply to everybody), and it is near impossible to remove. I had to use castor oil on a cotton swab.
PLUS, the packaging (for me) SUCKED. When I had 2 inches of the pencil left, I tried to sharpen it and the entire 'lead' just fell out of the pencil.
I'm not a makeup n00b (been using black eyeliner since I was 13.. I'm 27) but this pencil is a fail. Absolutely not worth the price. Maybe if you want a dark, smudgey, gothic look eyeliner and you have money to burn.. but I wouldn't buy this again even if I was Michael Sera trying to draw on a daily moustache.

I've been using this eyeliner for 2 years. This eyeliner applies on smoothly without tugging my eyes. The color is VERY black than the MAC brand and it last on me way more longer than the competitors I've tried. The only thing I don't like is if I apply on this eyeliner and if it accidently gets on to your contact lens your going to have to remove it with eye makeup remover because it's so hard to remove than just rinsing it out with contact solution and added to that I feel as it runs out so quick that I have to keep on buying another one every month or a month & a 1/2 (At least I'm using it than hoarding makeup it LOL). This is personally the best eyeliner from all the other brands I've used and still trying others to compare to this. Very matte blackest black as it can be. Love it!

My Holy Grail black eyeliner. It's so black and creamy and it's my absolute favorite. It's perfect for the inner rim. It stays where you put it. One con that I have is that if I tight line the top lash line, I have to put something on the bottom waterline so that it doesn't mix and smudge. But really, if I'm tight lining someone then I'm always going to put something on the bottom water line. A+ from me!

- really black! Looks sooo dramatic on eyes.
- perfect for smoky eyes
- doesn't smudge on my eyes
- you have to sharpen it very often and very carefully cause it is very soft
- cause it is very soft, you can't do sharp wings like with harder liners
- expensive
I have done a video review where I wear it, so you can check it out:
You can also see it on my blog: www.beauty-reviews.net
This is supposed to be a really good eyeliner.. but it's awful. It does go on easily but also comes right off. Doesn't stay on at all and ends up under my eyes.
What a disappointment. I had high hopes for this high end eyeliner because of all the hype (which is why I decided to splurge on this) and I was let down.
- super duper black. very intense and beautiful.
- glides on smoothly.
- sharpens well.
- not too stiff, not too soft.
- expensive (20$: it IS high end I know, but there are way better drugstore eyeliners that I've own that are half the price)
- smudges FAST. (Not even a couple hours of wear)
- gets on my contact lenses.
- makes my eyes water. (It stings my eyes after a few minutes of putting it on)
- not long lasting at all. (It disappears from my waterline after a couple hours ((2-3 hrs) MAX.)
I used to use the L'oreal carbon black intense liquid pencil liner for my waterline and that was way more long lasting and smudge free (AND half the price!). I will still use up the urban decay one (maybe to do a smokey smudged eyeliner look on the upper lid). But for the waterline this is very mediocre. Even compared to cheaper eyeliners. Not gonna repurchase.

LOVE this eyeliner. The color is the deepest black ive ever been able to find. It glides on very smooth, definitely use a light hand when applying. I can wear it all day from 6am-9pm and it stays put...even on my waterline. I can party all night and it even stays put in this Nebraska hot and humid weather! The price is $20 at Urban Decay, which isn't horrible but isn't cheap either. I will def buy again bc its soo hard to find something that stays put and has great color depth.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Okay so this is one of the darkest liners I've tried it rivals the color of traditional middle Eastern kohls or kajal (I think that may be an Indian word but anyways) but it still runs a little into the tear ducts making me look like I made myself have those tiger like eyes or something :/
Other than that it applies so nicely like I can't even feel the cream on my skin as it effortlessly glides across yet it leaves the richest color I've seen in a long time
The staying power is good I just wish it didn't start running
Oh and btw if you rub your eyes this is gonna come right off or smear pretty bad. Or maybe I just have oily lids. Oh yeah this isn't too good for sensitive skin as it makes one of my eyes itchy a little and water a little as well

About a year ago I took on the added role of being the IT ambassador at my company. This job has zero benefits. Information Technology is a thankless field. Never has anyone walked into my office and proclaimed: "The network is working beautifully! Thank you for keeping everything status quo!"
Instead, it is nothing easier than wading through a tide of complaints complicated by bottomless computer naivety.
Adding to the excitement is that our IT infrastructure is a carefully balanced bridge built of toothpicks and mini-marshmallows. That's not to say it's weak… it just defies common sense. And in the past whenever a weakness appeared we'd throw marshmallows and toothpicks at the problem until it was fixed.
The good news? I'm going to fix it. Bottom to top, we'll have an solid design by the end of summer.
The hilarious news? This endeavor includes the cleaning out of old cabinets and storage rooms. Yesterday we found this:
I feel better knowing we've got that as a back-up.
Wait…. huh?
Sander was working on some electrical equipment this morning when he noticed something strange..
… it says tomato on there. Why would it say tomato?
Skateboard Sailing
Skateboard Sailing from Ryan Schenk on Vimeo.
Last night, we had some decent winds from Tropical Storm Hanna, so my friend Jonathan and I used an old sailboat mast, trash bag, and some scraps of wood to build this great gaff-rigged, sail-powered skateboard. We took it to the beach and ripped around the parking lot and down the street.
Looking back at the windspeed graphs on iWindsurf.com, it was blowing 40mph and gusting to 48 at the time this was filmed!
We only got one video because it was raining like crazy and we didn't want to get the camera wet.
There are a lot of people taking this coming Monday off from work.
List of important people out of the office:
Financial Controller
VP of Customer Service
Head of Operations
Head of Domestic Purchasing
Head of International Purchasing
Head of Engineering
what does this mean? Brace yourselves now… on Monday December 31st I, Mike D, will be in charge.
The employees are thoroughly confused as to why management would ever let this happen. This morning as people read the e-mail I heard comments coming from corners of the office:
"Mike DiDonato? what?"
"Mike DiDonato's in charge??!"
"look out. Mike D's in charge."
I think they recognize that this may be the most rocking (or disastrous) day in our company's history.
First, I am going to throw a pizza party. Also, I'm going to try and make everyone wicked awesome t-shirts. I was even thinking of breaking out the Christmas lights and making a giant christmas lights mural on the wall.
I need even more ideas, send 'em in. This could be a day of reckoning folks.

I can't speak for the numbers. I mean, 9 million+ current players must mean 9 million+ purchasers of Mists of Pandaria, right? I was a 5 year WoW player who quit sometime around the end of 2011. I mean... space demons and Blood Elves, Lich King and Undead Vikings, Giant Dragon out to destroy the world.... Pandas? Maybe the author's data is incomplete here, even though his 25% drop in WoW players seems to be accurate. I think the point is more that WoW is beginning a downward spiral following the release of this expansion... I quit WoW following disappointment in Cataclysm's revamping of all the classic WoW content that I had gotten used to over the years, and I have no interest in Pandaria. It's a matter of content, and as the author pointed out, the availability of other quality MMOs.
