Making YOUR dream home a reality
Ever watch one of those shows
where some big named interior designer walks in, sweeps
all the owners belongings to the curb, then proceeds to
impose her own vision on the helpless homeowners?
The designer leaves with a smile. And the owner is left
with someone else's style. It's enough to make us
fighting mad – and it wasn't even our home!
But that's the point, isn't it? An interior
designer is there to help you transform your dream to
reality. Not the other way around. You won't have
to worry about the big ego effect when you work with
Lynne Greene. That's because she lives life in the real
world like her clients.
As a working mother of four
in a household with pets, Lynne knows first-hand the
importance of finding good value for every dollar…
choosing interior decorating styles that are as
functional as they are attractive… and respecting every
minute of your busy day.

Comment by SimplyStrings
As always a beautiful sing by you Merel :)~~ and a beautiful song.
~~what a great choice of a song title "River"
Thank you for sharing your beautiful voice and talent, my dear friend.
Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
This is where you play back a recording, comment on it, share it on Facebook etc. It should be pretty obvious that to play a recording you simply click the "PLAY" button in the player, but let's briefly go through a few other things you can do on this page, as well as some tips on what to when you have problems getting a recording to play.
Comment on the Recording
Scroll down to the bottom of the page to leave a comment. If it's anything a SingSnap member loves, it's getting comments on their recordings! Keep it positive though, SingSnap is all about positive encouragement and if you can't find anything nice to say it's best to not say anything at all.
Flagging as Favorite
If you like the recording you may want to flag this member as one of your favorites for easy access to their recordings in the future. This is done by clicking the heart icon next to their username. You can also flag the recording itself as a favorite as well as the song and artist.
Share on Facebook, Twitter etc
Sharing on your social network site of choice is easy. We have buttons for Facebook, Twitter and Google+ located to the right of the player. For Facebook for example, all you have to do is click on the "Share" button and then (optionally) write something in the window that pops up and click the "Share Link" button to post it to your Facebook timeline.
Recording Your Version
Look for the button that says "Record Your Version or Duet". This will, as you'd expect, take you to a page where you can choose to make a duet with this recording (if allowed by the member who recorded it) or record your own version of it from scratch. This is also the button you click on when you want to add harmonies to your own recording. The button will then say "Harmonize Your Recording" instead though.
Link to the Recording
When participating in contests and challenges on SingSnap it's often a requirement to post a link to the recording you want to enter the contest / challenge with. To copy the link you click in the box to the right of the "Link:" text. The link will now be selected and all you have to do is click Ctrl+C (Windows) or Command+C (Mac). Now the link is in your computer's clipboard and you can paste it, Ctrl+V (Windows) or Command+V (Mac), in the message board reply. You can of course do this anywhere else too like in private messages, on your profile page etc.
Here are answers to the most frequently asked questions we get regarding this area.
Why isn't the song playing?
If the song isn't playing when you press the "PLAY" button you'll want to ensure that the song has fully loaded. Directly above the player controls you should see a black bar that indicates the loading progress. If that bar is all or partially gray the song hasn't fully loaded yet. In that case you simply wait a little longer, or if it seems completely stuck you could try refreshing the page in your browser. You may also wish to clear your browser cache and cookies to see if that helps.
Why do I keep having to wait for the song to buffer?
If you're seeing the buffering message repeatedly it's very likely that your internet connection has slowed down. If this is occurring you can press the "Stop" button and wait for the song to fully load. Slow internet connections will usually return to normal on their own but if it doesn't you can try restarting your modem and/or router (unplug the power for about 1 minute and then plug it back in) to see if that helps.
Why is song playback choppy?
The most common cause of choppy playback is related to system resources on your computer. Adobe Flash Player currently requires a 2.33GHz or faster x86-compatible processor, or Intel Atom 1.6GHz or faster processor for netbooks. If your processor speed is slower than that, or if your system is overtaxed running other programs, playback may become choppy. In this case closing any unneeded programs should help improve playback. To rule out other programs interfering with playback we recommend rebooting your computer if you have problems. We also recommend having just one browser tab / window open to avoid that other processes interfere with playback.
The player didn't load and I only see a blank spot where it should be, what should I do?
If the player hasn't loaded at all you most likely need to install or update Adobe Flash Player. You can download the latest version here:

An early morning three-alarm fire at a home on Park Street in Stoughton has displaced 17 people, including an infant, Stoughton Fire Chief Mark Dolloff said.
Crews from Avon, Brockton, Canton, Easton, Holbrook and Sharon all responded to the scene at 34/36 Park St., as did investigators from the Massachusetts Fire Marshal's office and the Providence Canteen Unit.
Firefighters received a call at 1:22 a.m. for a smell of smoke at that address
There were heavy fire conditions in this large 2.5 story wood frame structure, according to the Stoughton Fire Department's Facebook page. It took about three hours to knock down the fire.
While five families were displaced, there were no reports of injuries to civilians or to the crews that responded, Stoughton Fire Capt. Doug Campbell said. Campbell said all residents self-evacuated. The American Red Cross is assisting these residents, he said.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation, Campbell said.
The structure at the corner of Park and Seaver Streets contained six apartment units, according to Kat Powers of the American Red Cross.
Campbell said the second and third floors are "completely destroyed" and there is water and smoke damage on the first floor. Neither neighboring structure on Seaver Street and Park Street was damaged.
Because of the "extensive damage," Dolloff deemed the home to be a "total loss."
The fire chief credited the work of fire crews, led by Campbell, for helping to prevent the fire from spreading. Dolloff also said crews were "very fortunate" that it was not windy.
Within minutes of responding, fire crews were told to evacuate the structure, before it was deemed safe to reenter.
"The fire just gained headway and as a safety precaution we had to bring everybody outside," Campbell said.
Randolph and Walpole crews covered Stoughton's Fire Station 1 during the call.
Firefighters were at the scene for more than six hours, with crews still investigating as of 8 a.m. on Tuesday.
An official at the Stoughton Building Department said an inspection at the structure is supposed to be done every five years, but the owner of this building has not complied, with the last inspection having taken place in 2005. Dolloff said the alarm system is up to code, however.

The latest Scholar Athlete of the Week is excelling in her advanced classes while dominating on the golf course. NY1's Jon Weinstein filed the following report.
Name the activity and Bianca Mintz is probably a master at it. She's involved in so many different things at Tottenville High School, but there's no question that her top priority is her academics. She hasn't missed a day of class since elementary school.
"It's not easy to come in here every day, and I do it because I don't want to miss anything that the teachers are going to say because I'm going to take it all in," says Bianca.
Bianca is ranked in the top five of her class of more than 900 students. Her weighted average is nearly a 103, and she's not racking up those A+ grades in easy classes. As part of Tottenville's classics institute, she challenges herself with rigorous coursework in Latin and Advanced Placement Calculus. "You're balancing your music, you're balancing being on a competitive New York City championship team and then going home and having several hours of work and research and so forth," says Principal John Tuminaro.
Bianca is also a dedicated community servant through her membership in the Girl Scouts. She received the Gold Award, the highest honor the organization offers.
"I was able to collect over 2,500 books for local hospitals, nursing homes, and other needy organizations throughout Staten Island, New Jersey and Brooklyn," says Bianca.
Not to be forgotten, Bianca is an accomplished golfer. She sports an 11 handicap and was the undisputed leader on Tottenville's City Championship team this year. "When she gets put in those pressure shots, and her teammates see her hit those pressure shots and make those pressure putts, a lot of the younger girls really aspire hopefully to be her," says golf coach Demetrios Haronitis.
Bianca isn't sure where she wants to go to college yet, but she does have an idea what she wants to study: either geophysics or textile materials technology.
"I wanted also to be challenged. Geophysics is very challenging subject and then textiles materials technology is so applicable to everyday life," says Bianca.
So, for embracing every challenge she faces, Bianca Mintz is the latest Health Plus/NY1 Scholar Athlete of the Week
The NY1/Time Warner Cable Business Class Scholar Athlete program celebrates student athletes who successfully combine academics with athletics, and also find time for community service. The program, operated in conjunction with the New York City Department of Education, is open to any senior attending a New York City public high school.
Each week of the school year, a selected student is profiled on NY1 and receives a partial scholarship to the school they choose to attend in the fall.
To apply, download and print out the official Scholar Athlete application, then mail it to the address on the form.

Tom, W3ROK, has compiled the reasons one should join an amateur radio club and posted them to the Mason County Amateur Radio Club website. Some of the reasons include:
- It provides contact with local radio amateurs.
- You can get help building a station.
- Clubs often sponsor license exam classes.
- Clubs make ham radio more visible in the community.
- Clubs organize activities such as hamfests, scout radio merit badge sessions, and Field Day.
- You can often borrow infrequently used test equipment instead of buying it.
- It's fun!

You know how other websites have these donation pages where they tiptoe around soliciting your hard-earned money? Yeah, not so much here. Just pay me. I keep Jay Vay, Paratopia, and The Center For Bad Ideas going and I take a lot of shit from morons. You can make up for that!
You won't get a tax break from this… but you may just help fund the first UFO Conference ever held at the Aloha Theatre on The Big Island of Hawaii! Or maybe some of that cheese will end up on the production side of a Paratopia/Philippe Mora collaboration! Likely, though, you'll buy me some sweet onion flavored chips to go with my avocado dip.

The following entry from Emily Bergl got "lost in the Alaskan wilderness" and was meant to appear last week. Her blog will next be updated Nov. 2.Welcome to our second episode of Men in Trees. I hope you enjoyed our premiere last week, especially after such a long wait. I'm having a hard time remembering juicy stories from this episode because we shot it nine months ago! Or maybe I'm blocking the whole experience out because it was around the time of the Super Bowl. Those of you who have traversed this blog before know that I am from Chicago, which means I have an unquestioning and undying love for the Bears. It's probably not healthy for me to revisit that time in my life, although the current season really isn't much better for my psyche.In "Chemical Reactions," Jack and Lynn are planning for their wedding, as are Annie and Patrick. I can reveal that forget-me-nots, Alaska's state flower, will be prominent in Annie and Patrick's nuptials. This flower may be ominous for episodes to...

It's the kind of blue-skied mountains-meet-the-ocean day that Vancouver was made for. And the cast of Men in Trees (premiering tonight at 10 pm/ET ABC) is spending the whole day in a bar.
OK, so the Chieftain is not a real bar. It's a copy of a nearby bar, right down to the posters offering expert rifle cleaning and bear repellent, and it's where the fictional citizens of the fictional town of Elmo, Alaska, fictionally hang out.
But according to star Anne Heche, the friendly you-scratch-my-back-I-loan-you-my-sled-dog atmosphere that makes the ABC drama such heartwarming fun is anything but fictional.
"The cast and crew of this show really do comprise a real-life Elmo," says Heche, who plays Marin Frist, a New York City writer who finds solace, community and even love in Elmo. "We're all great friends with lots of humor and warmth betw

Welcome to another episode of Men in Trees [Thursdays at 10 pm/ET, on ABC]. This week's installment, "The Indecent Proposal," was written by our creator, Jenny Bicks. She is also a great blogger, so you should check out what she says about this one on the writers' blog at ABC.com. I know it sounds like I'm plugging the ABC website every week, but I promise I'm not some shameless promoter for the network. I just enjoy reading what our writers are thinking. This episode was exciting for me because it's the first time I have a scene with Jane (Seana Kofoed). In fact, this will be the first time that our characters ever speak to one another on the show. Seana and I were always saying to each other, "Wouldn't it be hilarious if Jane went out to Queens with Annie and met her insane family?" Well, Jenny Bicks must be a mind reader, because that's exactly what happens! Annie is bringing Patrick home to meet the parents and announce their engagement, and she tries to set up Jane with her cut...

It is a sad state of affairs here at the Bergl Vancouver household. It's 3 am, and I would describe my living room as a crack den, but it's in such disarray that I would probably offend the crack addicts who read this blog. I think the Super Bowl really took away all my spirit for a while. At first the game was really looking good for me. Not only did Devin Hester do his thing and score a touchdown in the first 30 seconds, but I was also surrounded by various cast and crew of Men in Trees at the White Spot, which is a traditional Vancouver burger joint. Before I watched the Super Bowl with other TV actors, I had never seen anyone eat grilled chicken and steamed vegetables on game day. I won't tell you who the offending parties were, but I suppose we can forgive them for doing something so un-American on such a sacred day, considering we were technically watching the game out of the country. I think you all know the outcome for my beloved Chicago Bears, and the disappointment was fel...

I think I've used up all of my good karma for a long while, what with Men in Trees getting picked up and moved to after Grey's Anatomy, and the swift and crushing Bears victory on Sunday. To be honest, I'm not a huge football aficionado in general, but I am from Chicago, so I really have no choice but to be a rabid and unquestioning Bears fan. Our producer, Rick Wallace, also hails from the Windy City, so we've been spending a lot of Sundays at the local Vancouver sports bar, along with John Amos, who plays Buzz. Here's some Men in Trees trivia for you: John Amos used to play football for the Kansas City Chiefs!You don't have to wait until the Super Bowl to see some Bears action, because we have a very special appearance by a bear on tonight's episode of Men in Trees, "Bed, Bat and Beyond." From the title you may be able to guess that a certain winged creature will also be making an appearance. I know I've been talking about how much we all love each other up here on the show, but t...

Q:How do I break chlorine lock?
A:One of the main reasons that chlorine can become "locked" is that too much stabilizer has accumulated over the course of time. Stabilizer (cyanuric acid) can build up over a long period of time, sometimes months or even years. Once the stabilizer reaches high levels, the chlorine in the water is useless. The only way to break the lock is to reduce the level of cyanuric acid in the pool. The quickest way to do this is to add fresh water to the pool. This will help dilute the acid levels in the pool so that the chlorine will become more effective. Pools should be partially drained and refilled (every 3 years or so).
Q:I just purchased a new pool. What chemicals do I need to keep it clean?
A:Congratulations on your pool purchase. To keep your pool nice and clean you will need a variety of chemicals. Feel free to browse through our Pool Chemical Guide. It provides quite a bit of information to help get you started.
Q:Can I pay for expedited shipping on my pool chemicals?
A:It is the policy of our shipping carrier, UPS, to not permit expedited shipping of possible hazardous or dangerous chemicals via air transit. This policy includes all pool chemicals making the only available delivery method for such items UPS Ground.

I bought this set some months ago & was delighted with the colors, striping, construction & quality of the set. I love warm brown & this did not disappoint. I did not realise that one of the decorative pillows was to be lavendar. The pillow is a warm gray & another is a lovely shade of gold. Since I love gold, grey & browns together, this set worked for me. I love warm neutrals & this set is good for persons who enjoy this pallete also.
I was very happy with the duvet and standard shams. Good quality and well made. Both looked just like the picture. The Euro shams however were a different color than shown and did not really match. Also the toss pillows did not match anything. Since I wasn't really interested in those items I ordered anyway.
Very high quality fabric, carefully sewed. More interesting than a solid, but not busy or overwhelming like a print. It is real cotton so it can get wrinkled, so needs to come out of dryer right away.
Ordered for my sons room, colors are perfect. Good quality. It is a little big decided to use king size comforter which is perfect.
This Duvet is much more gold then the picture represents. The pillow is grey. It does have a sheen and is nice fabric. I am returning it.

The "average time on site" metric helps you evaluate the effectiveness of your keywords
What do you think of when someone drops "keyword" into the conversation? I immediately start seeing dogs going at each other demolition derby style – a real dog-eat-dog extravaganza! Keywords are critical, and they are big business.But you only want to dig deep into your pockets for those keywords that are going to earn their keep. How do you identify the hard workers?

Well, well, well, we thought we had seen it all. Apparently, though, there's an endless supply of reasons to ask, what the? These crazy kids with their tats and piercings and X-treme lifestyles are taking over the world. So it shouldn't come as too big a surprise that they would share their expressions of individuality with their favorite vehicular companions. And we're not talking about spinners and struts, or neon and cantaloupe launchers, we mean taking their rides to the extreme, just as they push, prod and poke their own bodies.
As automotive trends go, we're holding back on offering an opinion about just how cool this will end up being, but it has led to some very interesting vehicles. Obviously we've seen a lot of different takes on personalization, but this is taking things a bit further than most. Some Southern California dealers have even gotten into tattooing cars. But here we are talking about a young team of So Cal aftermarket entrepreneurs who have decided to focus on rings and studs. Available now, for the bumper of your choice, car piercings.
They come in a range of different finishes and designs, and are featured on the trend's own website, www.pierceyourride.com. The construction and installation seems fairly straightforward, maybe a weekend job. They make an already rugged-looking pickup look even tougher, and even do wonders for improving the look of the less macho Scions featured in the gallery. Check it out yourself.
Thanks to Austin for the tippage!

Are you a TV Fanatic?

Hi everyone!
I just watched the first episode of PLL - I know, I'm sooo behind, but I've heard great things about it and I've seen a few clips of Ezra and Aria who I adore, BUT! I wasn't totally hooked by the first episode. I must admit that I read some spoilers (not intentionally) because I searched some tv sites, but it still hasn't convinced me to keep watching, maybe it spoiled it for me.
So do you guys have any reasons why I should keep watching? I figure you all must love it since you're still here and the show must be great since it got another season on TV. Please write some reasons if you have good ones (and keep the spoilers to a minimal please!).
Hi! Wow I haven't tlked 2 u on the TVD forum for ages!
PLL is a really good show- there is always something going on.... there is heaps of mystery 2 keep u interested in the show.... the storylines r great for the 4 girls (except for maybe Emily, and there is more stuff than just romance and stuff)..... The main characters are really amazing to watch- They really r very likable and they r really interesting....
I prefer TVD, but PLL is one of my fav shows- u shud totally watch it!
@Delena4eva, I know! It's been ages :) I haven't been around lately because I think it has turne dinto a Buffy forum because of 'you know who' and I hate it! :( But thanks for replying! Now that I know you watch it, I'll definately be watching! :) But Emily's my fave (after Aria), so Iøm sad to hear about her storyline.
@patty, thanks heaps for the reply! Knowing that it gets better is worth giving it a shot for! :)
@damonsucksmyworld oh yeah i feel that way too... Just give it time and u'll b totally hooked to PLL too!
Yeah the person(s) who is A in the books, isn't A on the show.... the PLL creators didn't want the ppl who haven't read the books to b able to find out who A is and they wanted the ppl who have read the books to actually watch the show so they changed who A is..

Wladimir Klitschko is calling b.s. on the report that he got into a confrontation with Dereck Chisora at an Ibiza nightclub last week.
The whole thing started when Chisora tweeted that he bumped into Klitschko on the Spanish island.
Cippriani Ibiza twice now I've bumped into wladamir klitschko he is annoying me now
— Derek Chisora (@dellboychisora) July 27, 2013
Chisora then elaborated on one of the meetings during an interview with ATG Radio.
"I saw Wladimir there. We had a little bit of conversation in a club. It wasn't a great conversation. I walked in, and he was sitting down, and he got up. I wasn't paying him any mind, but it was when I got to my table I looked up and he was behind me. I shook his hand, and then we swapped words," Chisora told ATG Radio.
"I told him, 'I'm coming for you.' I told him 'get ready boy,'" Chisora said.
When asked if Klitschko had girlfriend Hayden Panetierre with him, Chisora answered, "no, if she was there, I probably would have taken her home."
Klitschko, who tweeted that he was in Ibiza last week, heard about the supposed confrontation and issued a statement via his Twitter account.

12pt Font Size Glitch
A major problem I have been having in Booksmart involves trying to get 12pt font in containers that appear to only want 9pt. I contacted technical support, but they didn't seem to understand the problem, nor address it. I believe I have figured out a possible cause of the glitch, and a way around it. It seems as though the default body text is set to Georgia 9pt, and when you upgrade, it tries to reset all your settings to this default, whether or not your font is actually 12pt. For some reason, the problem only seems to occur when you want 12pt font, not any other size. Attempting to change it to 12pt automatically reverts it back to 9pt.
Anyway…I've managed to find a way around this issue, and while time-consuming, it seems to make it at least workable. First you have to go to "Select Style" and create custom settings with the body text as 12pt. Then, you have to go into each text container and "select all" the text, either by highlighting it all or going to the drop down menu and choosing "select all." Then you need to go back up to the "Select Style" and select "body". This should solve the 9pt/12pt problem for that text container.
One problem I have not found a way to solve involves the new justification feature. When I type or paste text into the container, a few letters will often spill out of the container into the margins. Has anyone else had this problem? The result is a messy looking edge, rather than the clean alignment you'd want from justifying the text.
I am not sure if i understand your situation. Is it possible for you to snapshot of your glitch you are seeing on your computer?
Brian, a passionate Blurbarian

How do you snapshot?
I completely understand your dilema, because I am experiencing it too. I have clicked on the bold button a couple times to "trick" the software and then was able to change the font again. VERY FRUSTRATING! Also I am having the problem where I can go a short period of time editing my book and all of a sudden it closes on me. Then I re-open and it closes again and again and again. Any suggestions on how to handle this software glitch? Please help and Thank you
Hi Roenick9
I was having that problem too. I contacted tech support and my boyfriend (who is a software engineer and knows more about these things) sent them a log of the crashes. They were able to to guide him as to how to fix it. It still crashes, but not as often, and not right when I open up the book.
Any idea how to fix it?
I understand your problem cause I have similar difficulties..my Booksmart closes it self when i try to edit text..its annoying..I´ll try your medicine.
I have had the same problem in trying to justify my text as well. At times my text will spill over to the left of the column…not all lines, just a couple. Have not been able to figure out how to get around this yet. I even tried cutting and pasting from Word, but that has not helped.

By DAVE GRAM
Associated Press
MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) - Howard Dean says his presidential campaign helped to galvanize a generation of young, tech-savvy activists who moved politics online.
Dean, former staffers and volunteers are set to gather Sunday at Oakledge Park in Burlington to reflect and reminisce on the 10th anniversary of the kickoff of his unsuccessful 2004 presidential campaign.
Several top Dean aides went on to big things, including Joe Rospars, who served as chief digital strategist for both of Barack Obama's successful presidential campaigns.
Dean says he doesn't take credit for the lasting impact of his campaign. He says it became a vehicle for the activism of the millennial generation.

Hollywood made him a star. She makes him want to be a better man.
A Come Rain or Come Shine story
If the locals have their way, though, she and Jeeves will be dating by…well, it depends on who you ask–and how much they've invested in the betting pool.
Jeeves hates Hollwood. Mostly he just hates the way it's changed him. Port Grable is the total opposite of LaLa Land–the perfect place to rediscover himself. His plan didn't include hooking up with the bitter–yet undeniably lush–girl next door. She's not his type, yet he can't get her off his mind.
Trouble is, to thaw the ice around her heart, he'll have to show her the real man behind the Hollywood charade. If he still exists…

Revenge is a bitch, and Sariah is her biggest competition.
The name is Sariah DuShayne. I'm a real-life monster hell-bent on revenge. Five years ago, Xander Waithorn had the balls to move to my city and start spreading his werewolf virus. The bastard made me and I plan to use my hybrid DNA to change at will and get my revenge.
Somehow, Stephan thought love would change everything, but he's wrong. I'll do whatever it takes to punish Xander and his pack of lap dogs. After Xander's hell of a werewolf-a-palooza concert, blood and fire will reign. If Death and Hell won't have me, my only prayer is Stephan will…
Product Warnings: This title contains a hero who can sweep you off your feet, cage sex hot enough to make you sweat and a heroine tough enough to rip your throat out.
Love may overcome dark family secrets…but a grieving ghost could fire the final shot.
Delia Concannon isn't sure if the cries she's been hearing in Bogey Holler are echoes of the past, or portents of more heartache in her future. All she can do is keep running her diner and wait for the next in a long string of misfortunes that started when she fell for Boone. Their love began despite their families' longstanding feud–and ended when Boone's brother murdered her father.
Now Boone has come knocking on her door.
One look, and Boone remembers why loving her was worth defying his family. He still has nothing to offer a woman like her, but he can't stand seeing her living in the shadow of rising danger. Delia's not running, though. Even when the Angel's cries grow louder…
Product Warnings: Contains a snarky best friend, her cantankerous grandmother, a hard-headed hero with a soft heart, too many pick-up trucks to count, and one mention of fried okra.
Tattoos fade with time. Emotions never lose their edge.
Luke Emerson is the last person Sebastian Wakefield expects to see strolling into his tattoo shop. But Luke's not back after four years to take up where they left off. Not even to apologize for the cheating that broke them up.
Once Luke's in the tattoo chair, though, Seb finds himself struggling with all the anger and resentment he thought he'd left behind–and those aren't the only feelings reignited. Their relationship may have been turbulent, but it was also passionate. Four years clearly hasn't been long enough for the embers of that fire to go cold.
A few subtle hints from Luke is all it takes to make Seb consider indulging in some of that physical passion. It shouldn't be that tough to keep his emotions from getting tangled up in sweaty sheets.
After all, it's not like he's in love with Luke anymore. Right?
Product Warnings: Contains two exes who shouldn't want each other like this, steamy ex-sex they shouldn't be having, and a whole lot of ink.
It's bad enough losing the wedding rings, let alone your heart…
Ceremony, reception, speeches, the first dance…he's got to go through them all by the side of the woman who still haunts his dreams. And to top it off, she's not wearing any underwear.
Their break-up three years ago was explosive, and Kate was sure she'd never forgive how he behaved. But now all the memories are coming back–the good as well as the bad. As their wedding duties keep throwing them into each other's company, Kate can't ignore the resurging chemistry between them–or the nagging thought that maybe, this could be the start of a second chance.
Product Warnings: Contains sexual chemistry hot enough to turn sand to glass–best read while wearing oven gloves and dark shades.

➤ next fic: (mostly postponed due to DCBB deadline)
➤ DCBB progress:
updated 12/08/14 04:26am NZ
Angelhawke ― Dean/Castiel | NC-17 | 418,000 words
A Dean/Cas Fantasy-Drama AU, set in a medieval world where two men are separated by a curse: every sunrise and sunset, both are eternally bound to transform into animals. Every night when darkness falls, Dean Winchester becomes a wolf, and his human mind is lost until the dawn. As the sun rises, his lover Castiel becomes a hawk. Their story has been the same for five years - until the day that a young thief named Sam stumbles into their twisted lives. Without even realising it, he becomes a part of their destiny, their paths entwined in prophecy and fate. Together with a few old friends, they set off on a journey to break the curse, but it won't be easy. To pass the time, Dean and Castiel take turns to recount their past to Sam, narrating the tale of how they met, how they formed their profound bond, and how they found themselves wanting what no man should ever want: the touch of another man. 'Angelhawke' is a saga of forbidden love, friendship, and magic - but above all, family. Partially based on the 1985 movie 'Ladyhawke'.

US environmental officials monitor Qeubec train wreck, oil spillBy HOLLY RAMER
the Associated Press | July 08,2013Maine environmental officials are monitoring the runaway train derailment in eastern Quebec but do not expect the oil spill and fires to affect the states air or water.
The 73-car derailment Saturday caused multiple explosions in the town of Lac-Megantic, Quebec, about 10 miles west of the border with Maine. About 30 buildings were destroyed after tanker cars laden with oil caught fire, and several cars continued to burn Sunday. The death toll reached five and was expected to rise.
Maine officials were notified about concerns about the smoke from the fire but state meteorologists dont believe it will have a significant impact, Peter Blanchard of the state Department of Environmental Protection said Sunday. And while oil spilled in the Chaudiere River, it flows north and thus would not impact Maine waters, he said.
Blanchard said his office is in touch with the Maine Emergency Management Agency, railroad officials and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to coordinate any assistance that may be necessary.
As expected, initial efforts have been focused on extinguishing the fire and investigating missing persons, said Blanchard, director of response services at the agency. Our thoughts go out to the citizens of Lac-Megantic.
Trains carried nearly 5.3 million barrels of light crude oil across Maine last year, primarily moving oil from North Dakota to a Canadian refinery, and the volume is growing. The increased activity is part of a national trend: As U.S. oil production has increased in areas with limited pipeline capacity, so, too, has transport of oil by rail.
Concerned about the increase, Maine has begun developing protection plans for the areas where the trains travel. Staff members in Blanchards division have ridden in Montreal, Maine and Atlantic Railway Ltd. cars from the Canadian border to Greenville, identified areas that would allow access for staging equipment, and are using mapping software to identify sensitive natural resources, water bodies and drinking water sources near rail lines.
It is a work in progress, Blanchard said. Our state is large geographically and heavily forested. We continue to prepare and train with our public and private partners.
In March, a Pan Am Railways oil train derailed about 100 yards from the Penobscot River in Mattawamkeag, but only a tiny amount of oil measured in drips spilled. But it was enough to raise concerns among environmentalists.
The Quebec derailment is reason enough to call for an immediate moratorium on the rail transport of oil through Maine, said Glen Brand, director of the Sierra Clubs Maine chapter.
This tragic accident is part of the larger problem of moving oil through Maine and northern New England, he said. It reinforces the importance of moving away from dirty fossil fuels that expose the people of northern New England, Maine and Quebec to a host of dangerous risks.
Maine Gov. Paul LePage said many Maine firefighters have been helping in Lac-Megantic, and several state agencies were ready to help if needed.
In times of need like this, Maine stands ready to support our neighbors to the north, he said.MORE IN News

I know this isn't related to acting, but here's a little review of the LBM
(Source: himeart)
So here we go with my most recent project!
It's really simple: I act for you in a video.
That's all!
Why do I do this?
- I want to become an actress, so I signed up for an audition at the RADA in London city. Soon I went out of ideas for training and I came up with that idea. I also do this to cover up the costs of the audition fee and the travel costs because I don't live in London so far.
How does this work?
- It's easy: You donate a small amount of money (minimum is £ 2.00) to me via paypal (The e-mail for that is: email@example.com).For that amount of money I will make a video in which I play any script you give me, written by anyone, by you or I will do an improvisation of your choice. The more you donate the longer it gets.
Please make sure that you put your tumblr in the reference box of the paypal tranfer, so I know who you are.
The scripts and ideas go here.
I don't have £ 2.00 but I really want one!
- No worries! Once every four weeks I will choose a random script or improviational prompt from my inbox and play it for free.
If you have more questions, just inbox me.

On the Emergence of Private Insurance in Presence of Mutual Agreements
AbstractThe aim of this paper is to analyze the impact of the existence of mutual firms on the behavior of an insurance company and more precisely to study in which situations a private insurance firm may emerge in presence of an incumbent mutual firm. Our approach differs from the existing literature as we integrate the investment choices of the company and the fact that, because it commits on a fix contract, it can become insolvent. In such a situation we are able to characterize the unique optimal choices of an entrant company and the conditions favoring or preventing its appearance.

ZIP Codes - Key Concepts
- ZIP Codes are categories for grouping mailing addresses and are not exact geographic regions.
- The centroid of a ZIP Code may be in one Parish and the associated city/town in another.
- In rural areas, a single ZIP Code may be used for cities and towns in several different Parishes.
- ZIP Code "areas" can overlap, be subsets of each other, or be artificial constructs with no geographic area.
- ZIP Codes are only loosely tied to cities.
1 Keeping the above key concepts in mind, what we informally refer to as the "center" of a ZIP Code is most often actually the centroid of a polygon.

Best pho on Larkin?
Going to Larkin tonight. Looking for good hard noodles, tasty broth and fresh meat. Clean bean sprouts and mint a plus.
re: rabaja
Turtle Tower uses fresh rice noodles that are chewy and delightfully slippery. They won't be hard and firm. It is my favorite pho ga in the City.
turtle tower. turtle tower. turtle tower.
but you're not getting sprouts and basil. just lemon and jalapenos.
I was surprised at Turtle Tower's pho. I'm not a pho expert, but the pho I've had and liked has had a very complex, almost anise-y broth. Turtle Tower's broth was very, very light compared with what I'm used to. While I liked it, I prefer the dark, complex broth. Maybe I didn't order the correct thing?
re: Atomica
Some pho places make a darker beef broth that's more heavily seasoned with star anise, carmelized onions, etc. Turtle Tower's stock is not like that, it has the taste of bones and meat unmucked up by sugar or spices. I don't find it light, it's quite intensely meaty to me. Whether you like it or not is a matter of taste. I used to like the darker, spiced style, but have changed in recent years to the more direct flavors that Turtle Tower, Pho Ao Sen, and Pho Y serve and can't tolerate the other now.
That said, I like the chicken version (pho ga) better at Turtle Tower than the beef (pho bo). Here's a link to my last post on it -
re: Melanie Wong
Turtle Tower is a Hanoi-style restaurant, something we see far less of in this country than the Saigon style. In the South, in Saigon, they take their pho spicier and with mung beans, mint, etc. IN the north it comes unadorned and the purity and essence of the broth is the goal. Both the pho bo and the pho ga at Turtle Tower are very good, but it just happens to be not what many people expect, as Melanie pointed out.
I'm probably too late, but I really liked the pho at Pho Kien Giang at 1017 Larkin. The broth was well balanced without any msg sweetness and all the various cow parts were tasty. Sometimes the offal gets to me, but I enjoyed every bite of my soup here. I also really like PPQ at 19th and Irving if you get out that way. You can check out my pho list on yelp, http://www.yelp.com/list_details?user... .

U.S. military chiefs agreed to stop using music by Metallica as part of their tough interrogation process in Iraq after the hard rockers made a personal request to army officials, says the U.S. Navy SEAL who is credited with killing Osama bin Laden in 2011.
The "Enter Sandman" hit-makers' heavy metal was played at loud volume to weaken prisoners' resolve and compel them to cooperate in the military leaders' search for bin Laden.
Bing: Bin Laden shooter calls Jessica Chastain 'awesome'
The anonymous shooter tells Esquire magazine, "When we first started the war in Iraq, we were using Metallica music to soften people up before we interrogated them. ... Metallica got wind of this and they said, 'Hey, please don't use our music because we don't want to promote violence.' I thought, 'Dude, you have an album called 'Kill 'Em All'!"
Interrogators opted for Christian metal group Demon Hunter to replace Metallica, and they were enthusiastic about being used to wear down terror suspects. The Navy SEAL adds, "Demon Hunter got in touch and said, 'We're all about promoting what you do.' They sent us CDs and patches (for uniforms). I wore my Demon Hunter patch on every mission. I wore it when I blasted bin Laden."
The members of Metallica previously objected to having their music used on prisoners in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, with lead singer James Hetfield stating in 2008, "Part of me is proud because they chose Metallica and then part of me is kind of bummed about it that people worry about us being attached to some political statement because of that. We've got nothing to do with this and we're trying to be as apolitical as possible, 'cause I think politics and music, at least for us, don't mix."
I bet there is no better music to drive some talibun crazy then Lousy american music. Metalica WAAAAAHAAAAA those Military guys pick only the best of legal drive you crazy sucka! music.
like blasting them with Metalica. In no time at all they will spill there guts and be BEGGING to have the Music noise stop. The Military knows how to break those sand dudes.

text: Okay, so basically I have never been made fun of or called names, that I can recall. But my friends and family have been. And I just hate it. I know my level and if I am in fact over weight or too skinny or gay or straight or black or white or Asian or Latina. I know, and I have a very good perception of how others perceive me, for the most part. And the thing is, why does it matter? When I see someone on the street or at school I don't immediately thing of their outer shell. I think of how they are inside. Like everyone should. Because every single person on this planet that was, is, or is going to be here, is beautiful. You are beautiful. You like to eat oreos and cheese? Sick, that's very unique. I don't know. Be you, and work on you until you can look yourself in the eye and think to yourself, "I'm special. I'm beautiful in every way. I am me, and that's all I'm ever going to be, and I love it." Otherwise, the stereotypes win. Otherwise you're nothing but a race, sex, orientation, disorder. Otherwise you're a thing, and not a human being. If a person tells you you're something you're not, simple by knowing you aren't makes you better than them. An insult is only hurtful if you let it be. Have your insecurities, they make you you. But know what you can healthily improve and what's never going to change and take action. This world needs more people who aren't so passive and can hold true to themselves. Be assertive. Love yourself. Treat others how you'd like to be treated. Only strive to be better than you were yesterday.

I have four chairs from Ikea that I've owned for 2 years now. They're looking a little ratty and boring. The rattiness, I think, is attributable to the fact that many butts have been put upon them. The boringness – attributable to their abysmal taste in film and literature. Unfortunately, I can't recall what model these chairs are and I don't see them on Ikea's website anymore. One of the four chairs in question:
That is one ratty, boring chair.
Gab and I, therefore, hatched a plan to reupholster the hell out of these babies. We went to Mood on the corner of La Cienega and Pico and picked up 2 yards of wool, plaid, heavy-weight fabric.
There are two fabrics above. The first has a predominantly yellow pattern on one side and a predominantly blue plaid on the other, with accents of yellow. The second is the same way, but with green. Thusly, we have 2 fabrics, but four patterns. Haha, we sure played you, Mood!
Gab and I do not know anything about this upholstering business. I don't think either of us even researched this online. It seemed pretty simple, though.
First, Gab unscrewed the stuff that was attaching the seat to the chair frame. He then skinned the seat by cutting off all of the fabric with a box cutter, right against were it was stapled to the underside of the chair. He said, "This is just like doing surgery!" I thought, "Gab knows what doing surgery is like?" I didn't ask him about it, because it's nice to have a little mystery in a relationship.
He started with the yellow fabric and cut it to 22 inches by 22 inches.
In the image above, you can see how Gab just cut off the old fabric, leaving the staples and the hemmed edge of the old fabric. Once he cut the new fabric down, we figured that we'd have to cut the corner so that there wouldn't be way too much fabric at the corners.
Here, the edge is folded over and Gab has stapled the new fabric onto the bottom of the seat, over the edge of the old fabric. He just kind of folded the corners up and stapled it. It ended up looking pretty darn clean.
Wowza, hey there, little yellow plaid chair.
Gab, fortified by such a successful first attempt, plowed through one more chair yesterday and finished the last two today. He had started out by cutting the fabric to 22 by 22, but for the last chairs, he cut the fabric to 20 inches by 20 inches.
One two three four cute plaid chairs! They all look incredibly awesome and butt-welcoming.
Three of the four chairs in their natural habitat, around the kitchen table and reading ask.metafilter.
The fourth chair in its spot: at my desk.
We did not need all of the 2 yards of fabric we got. We knew this, but planned to have extra, in case of future projects. The most painful and difficult part of the project was, by far, interacting with all the folks at Mood (thanks, Mood!). Cheers to Gab for being so handy and clever. I'm so pleased with how this came out.

Cafe di Stasio; St Kilda.
31 Fitzroy Street
St Kilda
I must admit, looking at Cafe di Stasio's webpage had me conjuring up images of dining in this gorgeous courtyard amidst beautiful olive trees. Little did I know Cafe di Stasio is located along busy Fitzroy Street - a dark intimate restaurant with weathered ochre walls.
The creamy butter was perfect with a pinch of salt.
Di Stasio Chardonnay
From their very own Di Stasio wineries in Yarra Valley, complete with handwritten labels. Not open to the public, except by invitation.
Tagliolini Pesce ($29)
Off the specials for the night, the tagliolini is like the angel hair spaghetti of linguine. Cooked al dente with the loveliest texture, a wonderful bite. With morsels of fresh fish and bursts of fish roe, which I wished there was more of. Tossed with fragrant garlic, olive oil, herbs & chilli flakes.
Whitebait & Aioli ($29)
One of their specials - lightly floured and lightly grilled, the batter could be crisper and the whitebait was quite strong in flavour, with a creamy aioli.
Moscardini Affogatti - Baby Octopus Slow Cooked in Red Wine & Chillies ($29)
The baby octopus was divine, beautifully tender and succulent, in a rich delicious red wine accompaniment.
Risotto del Giorno - Risotto with Braised Quail ($37)
The quail is quite tender, and the risotto is soft with a slight bite and whole. But I can't forget the gorgeous bay bug risotto infused in a rich lobster bisque at Bistro Vue.
Di Stasio Pinot Noir
Another one from their wineries, but they can order in bottles at cellar door prices.
Braised Barolo Beef & Polenta Chip ($44)
The last special we ordered for the night, a slow cooked braise in barolo wine - the beef was tender but a little dry, which could be attributed to the cut. The gorgeous rich red wine jus was simply divine, reminiscent of the octopus but even richer. And soft velvety polenta within the crisp.
This main was intended to be shared and they kindly presented us with two dainty portions.
The food is traditional Italian fare, beautifully cooked and simple in an intimate and refined setting.

Worst purhcase from David's First to any bride who may read this DO NOT BUY THIS BAG! When my bridal consultant asked if I wanted to purchase a water proof bag to protect my dress, I was assuming that waterproof meant vinyl and not cloth! This bag is of poor quality and should be something David's Bridal provides to you free of charge for not only me spending a decent amount of money there, but also because my bridesmaids bought their dresses there. Now thinking that everything was all set I now have to trek out to my local dry cleaner to get a good bag! As happy as I was with the rest of my purchases, I am very disappointed by this bag! David's Bridal please fix this problem!! November 21, 2011
H.O.R.R.I.B.L.E After spending over $1000 on my dress I was shocked to be picking it up in such a flimsy bag. It is cheaply made and of poor quality.. Very disappointed. October 27, 2011
Cheap, cheap, cheap What a waste of money. The material is paper-thin and the zipper broke right after I zipped it back up after looking at my dress for the first time! After spending ~$600 on my dress and accessories at David's Bridal, I don't think I should have even had to purchase the garment bag, but if I am going to have to purchase it, I expect better quality. David's Bridal should do a recall on this one. September 13, 2011
Not a good bag I guess I should have asked to see what I was getting at the store when I asked for this bag. It looks like something they should give out free and not charge for. this bag is a paper/cloth and not plastic. August 30, 2011
