Brad & Kendra's South End Drama
House Tour
Name: Brad & Kendra — Small Cool 2009 Little Division Winners
Location: South End, Boston
Size: 820 square feet
Years lived in: 5 years — owned
Our memory of Brad & Kendra's Small Cool entry last year was summed up in one word: WOW. Rarely does such a small space pack such a punch. Soaring ceilings, acres of custom-painted moldings, patterns and textures galore, delightfully aged wood floors, and layered lighting design create an epic impression upon entering. The open plan living / dining / kitchen is vibrant and social, while the back bedroom suite beckons like a warm, lush oasis. They've struck that illusive balance between high drama and accessible luxury.
Brad is a stylist with his own fine interior painting and wallpapering business, Color Theory, and their home feels like a living laboratory. We totally admire their holistic approach to painting this apartment — it is not two separate rooms but one cohesive dwelling. Beyond just paint, plant life plays a huge role in this space. The 10' bow front windows are filled with lush views of the front yard and a complementary indoor garden draws life and greenery all the way back to the bedroom. In a floor-through one-bedroom this kind of continuity really makes the space feel so much larger.
Clearly you all agreed they were doing something right because they walked away Little Division Winners in 2009's Small Cool Contest and invested their $2,000 award from Room & Board in another high drama piece: a black marble Saarinen dining table. These high impact, glamorous pieces, layered with a variety of affordable textures and patterns create a delightful sense of play between luxury and eclectic, everyday comfort. Our favorite might be the bed — that houndstooth blanket is so right in so many ways.
Apartment Therapy Survey
Our style: We are 100% the definition of a high-low mix and our style is a constant work in progress. Over the course of our 10 years together our home has come together in a very organic way. If we had to pin it down, it would be clean and contemporary lines, mostly neutral colors punctuated with bright and metallic pops, and a definite juxtaposition between objects that are both glamorous and raw.
Inspiration: With regard to admiring their style, Kelly Wearstler, Barbara Bestor, Terrence Conran and Florence Broadhurst come immediately to mind. Most of all though, what is most inspiring is seeing real people's homes both in magazines and on design blogs. When there is a definite informality, sense of humor, and authenticity that people have about their homes, that is what we really respond to on top of just the obvious physical beauty.
Favorite Element: The contradictions of the old and new elements in the unit are really what attracted us in the first place. Living in such an old city, it was important for us to have a home which reflects that and contains a bit of that history within its bones. All of the original elements, the floor, moldings and entry-way, fireplace and high ceilings are what initially drew us in and provide a constant source of inspiration with regard to how they enhance all of the THINGS that we've collected over the years.
Biggest Challenge: Without a doubt, budget has always been our biggest challenge. We've been lucky that we have been able to utilize our workplaces to furnish our home. Beyond just an employee discount, we never pay retail for anything. If we see a great knick-knack, or book, or decorative piece that we have to have and it's on-sale, we will without a doubt bring it home.
What Friends Say: We're lucky enough to have friends that are a constant source of inspiration to us as well but I think that friends really see our personality come through in our home. One of the biggest points of interest are the cuckoo clocks, purchased for .99 a piece.
Biggest Embarrassment: Well, we are not terribly proud of the fact that all of our furniture matches. That was more a matter of circumstance than choice — all pieces were purchased from BoConcept where Brad worked, for a considerable discount. We definitely feel that our living room could benefit from a few more found pieces and are looking forward to reupholstering our sofa and chair in more adventurous textiles.
Proudest DIY: We feel that the paint and wallpaper have really provided the biggest transformation for us and have enhanced the drama of the space considerably.
Biggest Indulgence: Our biggest indulgence is that we never say no to something that we really love if it's a great deal. We exercise very little restraint and thereby have amassed a huge amount of decorative objects which are in constant rotation.
Best advice: Embrace the architectural details of your homes' interior, rather then blend them with the decor. By highlighting Window Trim, Crown Moldings, and even "quirks", this will create instant charm for your home.

I obsessed over this apartment during smallcool. So glad to see more pictures.
I just saved at least half of these pictures for my inspiration file, it is just so beautiful! The contrasting black white and gray are so soothing and the "knick-knack" arrangement is so professional. A truly inspirational home, thanks for sharing!!
That fireplace is fantastic!
Ohh I loved this apt. during smallcool . . and I would LOVE to know where the painting/print over the fireplace is from. I adore it! Thanks for more pictures!
beautiful and interesting. love asian influences. great job!
The wallpaper around the fireplace is Osborne & Little "Mandara" in the "gilver" colorway. I should know- I have this on my wall! It's wonderful stuff.
Your welcome.
I like many individual things about this place very much, but the overall effect - overpowering, overworked, intimidating.
LOVE the living room...some of those pictures ended up in my inspiration file, too! I realize they said they were embarrassed about the matching furniture, but I think its the most successful part of the whole space. And the new table is amazing...although I'm not convinced anybody eats over there.
The bedroom is on its way to catching up with the living room, is just really cluttered.
drama is a perfect word. you've done a beautiful job!
Can someone please source the small pink lamp in the bedroom. I know I have seen it before, but I can't remember where. Thanks!
i absolutely love the bed - is it a storage bed? where did you get it?
I am so glad that I get see more pictures of this home. I so want to paint my apartment in dark colors now. I have a question: How is the pendant lamp affixed over the dining room table? I think I would like to do a similar set up over mine because I have popcorn ceilings I can't get rid of in my rented apartment.
I died and went to heaven. LOVE!
@JoanneM -- overpowering, overworked, intimidating sounds like a description of... me. :D
As for this apartment? Lalalove it, don't mean maybe.
Kindred spirit. Hearts desire. Where does one even begin to say what they like first. I won't try, I'll just say one word...
Still one of my favorites I've seen on AT.
The photos cleared up one of my concerns from their Small Cool entry. The straight sofa in front of the bow window seemed like an odd use of space. From the angles in these photos, I can see that there isn't as much wasted space as I thought.
And the Saarinen table is a great addition.
I think the pink lamp is IKEA from a few years ago (they don't sell it anymore).
Now that I have seen a full house tour, I realize that this home has loads more personality that I originally thought. So chic! Great job. I think I'm in love.
Hi Brad and Kendra, I have left a message in your small cool entry, but I am not sure if you saw it.
Anyway, this is Jing, your old neighbor in apartment 6 (3rd floor). We've been living in NYC since we moved, but we are still loyal Red Sox fans. =)
I recall that you guys had dark grey walls in your small cool entry, so you painted them lighter now?
Job well done. How are the cats doing?
Have been waiting for this house tour for a while.. great stuff!! absolutely love the new saarinen table! you deserve the win.. :)
Never fails to amuse me how some people feel a need to trash other people's homes. Put your monhey where your mouth is, and show us yours.
Brad and Kendra, it's gorgeous. The color combinations are fantastic.
Oh my! I naturally gravitate towards darker moody rooms and this totally fits the bill! All of these pictures are definitely going to be saved for my inspiration files for when I buy my first home. Thank you so much AT for sharing this!
Well done, amazing paint job...but kind of like living in a funhouse, no?
Hi Brad & Kendra! Love your home! Please tell me where you got the kitchen cart? Is it Ikea?... Thanks!
Where is that gray and yellow bedspread from?
I want it! It's very elegant.
Some really elegant architectural details in this. I like the use of some formal elements not frequently seen these days -- like the porcelain coffee pot set on the cocktail table.
I LIKE the deer head. Just as I was thinking "enough with the taxidermy!" (from the first pic that shows part of the antlers) the next photo shows that it's a sculpture! Very cool.
This apartment does have a lot of personality. It's probably one of those places that if you were friends with the owner-the decor screams their name and is so their personality. I like it. I also like how the black was used on the moldings. It really makes it stand out!
Great place, great photos, great style...Love the dining table light fixture.
So many things to love here~ But I must comment on the black molding on the ceilings... perfect! And I love the colors with all the black, very clean yet comfortable, love the bedding!
what a great space, the fireplace mantel is one of my favorites, along with the transition from the kitchen to the bedroom. not to mention the little buddha collection :) very nice!
Beautiful design, unique style, great items. Where did you find the gold tree and the peacock painting? I love them both! Thanks for sharing.
I don't typically comment in blogs, but this could possibly be about 99.99% my fav House Tour EVER!- short of 100 only due to the deer head-just a personal preference :)
This space embodies all aspects of my favorite designs: a little historic, whimsical, eclectic, contemparary chic AND practical.
I especially love the "asian corner" - makes me think of the happy place I escape to in my dreams :) (I also happen to own an exact hand carved replica of the Thai goddess).
Furthermore, you shouldn't be ashamed of the "matching" living room furniture. I believe it is what ties the whole space together. Without it, it would seem as if you were "trying too hard" to achieve the "eclectic" look, instead of just a natural occurence resulting from great taste and attention to detail, with just the right amount of appreciation for unique accents.
I also love the idea of using the hanging plant bracket for the pendant lamp--great DIY idea for us non-home owners! Thanks for the post and the amazing pictures to keep us all inspired!
Oh, and the cuckoo clocks? Great find! They're like jewelry for your home...
Can we say obsessed? I am still on this post!
But anyway, in response to: jennybasel
I'm not sure if that particular cart was from Ikea, but I own the same (in different dimensions) and were purchased at Target. They also carry (or have) the same in a black frame with the same table top as the silver. Hope this helps!
Thank you Dise�±are!
Your house look like a hotel!! Very classy style. The chimeny is gorgeous
So though I doubt Brad and Kendra will ever read this, I really am interested in this home and wanted to comment in depth.
I LOVE that black and grey are actually used as colors and not just negatives or neutrals. I love the graphics on the duvet and the pairing of grey and yellow (really there are few things that are better, for my money).
I only find one conceptual problem. I think that because the design has relied so heavily on grey and black, a lot of license has been taken with busy-ness. Though I appreciate the visual saturation and creativity on one level, I think that less black trim (epecially on the doors), fewer trendy items like the stag head and chromed clock collection and fewer high-contrast patterns would really focus the eye and add some serenity without sacrificing a bit of the drama.
Nevertheless, well, and interestingly done.
Absolutely adore the mantel. Is that a working fireplace or is it lit candles? Would love more details on it as I would love to do something similar (& I have been looking for such an inspiration for nearly 2 years now).
Great place..really well done.
Beautifully stylish mix of old and new! I love the gray and black. Very inspiring.
Great way to showcase the apartment, and to give others the idea that though you are a renter there are wonderful ways to express yourself with treasures you can take with you when you become a homewowner. Who says you have to live with White Walls. I love the design sensibility of mixing the past with modern, incorporating a timeless feel to the rooms. Obviously Brad is a talented painter, I will keep Color Theory in mind for my next design project!
WOW!! Your home is so beautiful!! I would love to come home to your place everyday. You both have done such a lovely job in decorating. I love the grays, my favorite color!! Where is the tall black cabinet in the living room( near the kitchen table)from and where is your bedspread from?? Thanks so much in advance and thanks for the inspiration. Just lovely!!
this is called taste!
Best Boston house tour yet. But it being Brad's work, I'd expect that. :)
WOW really is the only way to describe this place. I absolutely love your use of paint and wallpaper to create this amazing drama in your space. Impressive!
I remember this place, I really liked it. Are you guys running low on house tour submissions?
Really love the colors and the bed wall is a knockout! I think the kitchen cabinets would be a little better with some moulding along the top but they still look great as is! :)
cassielynn — no, it's the perfect kick off to our Small Cool Contest starting in April!
Absolutely stunning! This home has so much unique style and personality. Its a great inspiration for all of us still putting our homes together. Thank you for sharing your beautiful palace!
Count me in as another fan. What an awesome place!
What a beautiful home. It's inspirational to see someone else who was able to make the mantle-directly-next-to-the-fridge work so well. I keep looking in the general direction of my mantle/fridge horror and cringing. I'll have to take some tips.
You guys did an amazing job with this apartment. I also saw the sneak peek of your new home over at Design*Sponge - AT, can we have a tour of that too, please?
This is such a great place. I remember voting obsessively for you during the Small Cool contest.
not this AGAIN!! haha
one word: dramatic.
I remember this one!! I loved the fireplace and all the great patterns/textures in the living and bedrooms but I never got over how awkward the kitchen placement felt. You do what you can with your layout though. Great place.
same question as 6 months ago:
would love to know where the bed was purchased, please!! is it a storage bed? how much?
it's such a lovely apartment :)
I'm in love with this place!
LOVE the grey walls, black woodwork and metallic accents. This is so inspiring!
looked the house pictures, it's looking so beautiful, and i think everything is so good in this house, so i like it, color furniture, ect.....
Diet Max Cleanse
So in love with the black and grey. A tiny bit cluttered in the bedroom, but loving it anyway.
I have never understood why so many people choose to decorate their home with sticks in a big vase...why!?
Regarding the intro, I think the word you are looking for is "elusive" not "illusive."
I remember this...loved it then, and still do. They had me at those cuckoo clocks.
Psst -- love the apartment, but I notice that the fireplace is missing its keystone. You can buy a replacement at Restoration Resources in Southie.
As a fellow South Ender, I zeroed in on this right away...
Mikey1234, I've always wondered the same!!! I have no idea why people are attracted to that....
I especially admire how you highlighted the trimmings. Excellent job! Thank you for sharing.
A lot gping on.
Resource list was pretty short for such a nice tour. More plz.
My new apt has really high ceilings, and I love what you did with the pendant lamp your table. Where did you purchase the wall mount to hang the lamp from?
Sorry, what I meant to say was "I love what you did with the pendant lamp above your table."
You have a huge display for only 820 square ft. you've really outdone yourselves. I would love to see a floor plan!
AMAZING, just one little thing i picked up though... Although that little shrine with buddhas, shiva and other various god is beautiful. The cowhide is kind goes against it as it is a sacred animal to the hindu religion... just my 2 cents.
unless of course it's goat hide ;)
This apartment is amazing! I love it!
truly amazing!
Gorgeous and good job on the decor. Its so refreshing to look at!

The 98% Cordless Home Office
Setting himself apart from the typical minimalist home offices, H. Sterling Cross' workstation embodies a patriotic spirit and his goal to setup a "98% cordless" home office. Efficiently organized and reflecting Cross' allergy to cords and clutter, there's still a plethora of computing options strewn across his desk for him to call upon when needed.
H. Sterling Cross hails from Nampa, Idaho, with his vintage 1920's Central Desk Chicago lawyer's desk carefully organized to be free of clutter: a 640GB WD Elements HD hides underneath a Rubbermade laptop stand, a 2.1 audio speaker setup is tucked from view at his feet, a membership card converted into an iPhone stand props up his mobile, and a Samsung 32" LCD TV hidden in the corner of his office controlled with his iPhone and Air Mouse. Since he's an entrepreneur, he needs his peace of mind when working from home. He uses both a PC laptop and a Mac, which gives him flexibility, and everything is in arm's length for maximum efficiency.
-Logitech illuminated keyboard
-Microsoft wireless laser mouse
-MacBook Pro 13"
-HTC Evo 4G from Sprint
-Western Digital external HD
-Samsung Syncmaster 216BW 21.5" monitor
-Lenovo Thinkpad T410
-Lenovo Mini Dock 3
-Logitech THX Z-2300 speakers
Although we're onboard for the transition to the efficiency of LED lighting, it can't beat the warm glow provided by two halogen lamps on his desk (nor likely the heat produced). In some instances, it's preferable to use these compared to LEDs and CFLs, especially if you spend a lot of time working from your desk. All in all, it's a great setup, thanks to the decorative elements he's chosen partnered with his organization planning.

So what, besides the mouse, is cordless here? I don't get it. He has a corded dock, corded keyboard, charging cord, monitor cords.
Good cord control visually, but definitely not even close to a "98% cordless" set. More like 20%.
Ha! One of the first things I see in the first picture is...a white cord! Fail.
theres cords all over; see three cords in the first pic alone.
For someone allergic to cords, a white cord hanging off the front of the desk makes no sense at all!
This guy has WAY more cords showing than I do. What a joke!

Nordic-Baltic Wetlands Initiative (NorBalWet)
NorBalWet conference on monitoring of wetlands
In 2006 took place two very successful meetings under the Nordic-Baltic Wetlands Initiative (NorBalWet), one in Sweden focusing on the restoration of wet forests and mires, and one in Norway focusing on restoration of rivers, floodplains, lakes and deltas (cf. www.ramsar.org/mtg/caxref:2417). This was followed on 20-22 September 2007 by a conference on monitoring of wetlands, held at Lepanina, on the southern Baltic coast of Estonia, organized by the Nature Conservation Department of the Estonian Ministry of the Envrionment, the administrative authority for the Ramsar Convention.
Agu Leivits and Kai Kimmel, of the State Nature Conservation Centre, organized a very illustrative meeting focusing on practical aspects of wetland monitoring, in which about 30 experts from Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway and the Ramsar Secretariat participated. Specialists from the Norwegian Directorate for Nature Management (the Ramsar authority), the Ecology Institute of Tallinn University, the Latvian Fund for Nature, the Estonian State Nature Conservation Centre and others used this opportunity to exchange experiences and look at wetland monitoring aspects in the field in recently restored coastal wet meadows, fen mires and raised bogs. The region, often referred to as "North Livonia" (named after the nearly extinct fishermen people of the Livs), shared between Estonia and Latvia, is particularly rich in coastal wetlands, river courses, mires and wet meadows. The area profited from Dutch project support (PIN-Matra) to develop a master plan for integrated wetland and forest management in the transboundary area. This is now succeeded by European Union co-funding (Interreg) of the project "Wetlivonia" working for the tuned management and monitoring of the transboundary protected areas in North Livonia, coordinated by Anneli Roosalu (Estonia) and Andris Urtans (Latvia), cf. www.north-livonia.org.
During the meeting, Estonia announced that it is preparing the designation of 14 new Ramsar sites until 2010, including the Kabli and Luitemaa Nature Reserves and restored Häädemeeste meadows along the Baltic coast, all now included in the EU "Natura 2000" network of sites for biodiversity and habitat protection. This will provide a contribution to the 2010 target (of the UN Millennium Development Goals) to reduce significantly the current rate of biodiversity loss. In Latvia, Ramsar Site N° 1385 "Northern Bogs (Ziemelu purvi)" is part of the large North Vidzeme Biosphere Reserve. The state border crosses right through these impressive raised bogs. Estonia is about to designate its part, the Sookuninga Nature Reserve as an additional Ramsar Site, besides the existing Nigula Nature Reserve (Ramsar Site N°910).
The participants also discussed further steps needed for Nordic-Baltic wetland cooperation and how to develop their regional initiative in the future. The conclusions of these exchanges are summarized here (PDF). Leaving Lepanina Hotel at the Baltic shores, the participants agreed to meet in 2008 in Finland for the next NorBalWet seminar, and also during the 6th European Regional Ramsar Meeting to be held in Stockholm (3-7 May 2008).

WASHINGTON — As a guide for law or legislation, the Southern Baptists' new resolution on illegal immigrants is virtually useless. It's vague, confusing and perhaps inherently contradictory. It wouldn't help Congress pick its way through the political thickets associated with addressing the plight of the undocumented.
Nevertheless, the Baptists have done something very useful: They have established a moral marker for their congregants, some of whom are governors, state legislators and members of Congress. Since so many conservatives in public life like to point to their religious views as a guide for their political acts, the resolution ought to have a substantial influence on immigration debates.
Last week at its annual meeting, the Southern Baptist Convention called for "a just and compassionate path to legal status" for the nation's estimated 11 million undocumented workers. The "messengers," as the convention delegates are called, also denounced bigotry and harassment toward those who are here illegally.
The resolution was hotly debated, and it carries no imprimatur of authority for the millions of Southern Baptists across the country, whose churches take pride in their autonomy. They have no hierarchy — no pope or bishop to enforce adherence to church doctrine.
Furthermore, the clause in the resolution that dealt with legalization barely survived, with just 51 percent of the messengers supporting it in an early vote, according to the Baptist Press.
The delegates later added an amendment which noted that the Baptists were in no way endorsing "amnesty," a hot-button term without any precise meaning.
Still, the Southern Baptists, the nation's largest Protestant group and one of the most conservative religious bodies in the country, managed to end up sounding a lot more like President Barack Obama than, say, Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley, who recently signed a vicious anti-immigrant law that harkens back to the days of Jim Crow. As the vote proceeded, Southern Baptist seminarian Russell Moore tweeted: "Our response to the immigrant communities in this country cannot be 'You kids get off my lawn' in Spanish."
The Rev. Bryant Wright, a suburban Atlanta pastor and president of the SBC, told me that the focus of the resolution was on "sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ with the folks who have come in to the U.S." He acknowledged, however, that the evangelical mission of Southern Baptist churches could collide with harsh new laws aimed at illegal immigrants.
"I realize that once you start to reach out and deal with those folks' personal stories, some interesting situations are going to develop. Those are going to be issues that every church ministering to immigrants is going to have to decide," he said.
Phoenix, where the SBC held its convention, served as the backdrop for the debate, but Arizona is having to share its anti-immigrant notoriety. The Bible Belt — traditional home of Southern Baptists — has also seen a wave of codes and sanctions meant to force illegal immigrants to leave.
Georgia, for example, is struggling with a severe shortage of agricultural workers that many farmers are attributing to a law that Republican Gov. Nathan Deal signed in May. Even former Gov. Sonny Perdue, Deal's Republican predecessor, said the law has created "a real fear and perception that Georgia is probably not a state to be seen in if you're of a different color."
But Alabama, my home state, has gone much farther than Arizona or Georgia, passing the broadest and ugliest anti-immigration law in the land. It not only gives law enforcement officials the authority to determine legal status, but it also demands that schools determine whether students have legal documents. (That's just foolish time-wasting, since the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that public schools must educate minors, whether they are here legally or not.)
It would penalize property owners if they rent to persons without legal documents. It also makes it a crime to harbor or transport an illegal immigrant.
That raises the prospect that a faithful church member could be arrested for giving children without papers a ride to Sunday school. Is that what Alabama's governor, a longtime deacon in a Tuscaloosa, Ala. Baptist church, had in mind?

Reagan agreed to making about 3 million citizens based on an agreement with democrats in Congress THAT THEY WOULD DO WHAT WAS NECESSARY TO SEE THAT ILLEGALS WOULD BE PREVENTED FROM COMING HERE AND THAT THE PROBLEM WOULD BE FOREVER SOLED! OF COURSE, LIKE WITH GHW BUSH AND TAXES, THE DEMOCRAT SCOURGE NEVER DID WHAT THEY PROMISED TO DO!!!!! ILLEGALS ARE CRIMINALS! ARREST THEM-SHIP THEM OUT NEVER TO RETURN!!!!

@Woodstock Mike
"Every civilized country in the world has immigration laws, why shouldn't the US? "
When the laws are flawed and do not meet with the economic realities of the world they merit to be changed and reviewed, everyone know s that the US Immigration system is broken and needs to be fixed that is why we are here today.
"Hasn't anyone taken a look at the financial situation in America?" Rinning a large sector of the population out of the state will on ly further contract the economy as there are less dollars being spent into the economy. As business make less money they have less incentive to hire more workers. Tax revenues decrease which makes the State's deficit bigger. Immigrant dependent business close further exacerbating the economic reality of today. Yes I think we are all looking…
When an illegal gets sent to prison who pays for it?
Immigrants have the lowest crime rate in the country because the last thing they want to do is deal with the police. Usually they get deported so they do not really get out of prison but if they can get out since they can not get bonded they pay for all their fines and fees to society themselves.
When an illegal goes to the emergency room, who pays?
They pay taxes like the rest of us, sales taxes when they buy things and property taxes for cars and some have houses, unless they have gotten deported and forced to be foreclosed on…. Immigrants use education and healthcare but they contribution outpace the use of resources. Their payroll taxes are kept by the government. The SS trust fund grows at the rate of $7 billion annually in unmatch contributions presumably from Undocumented workers and they got $100 sitting in the pot I think they pay their fare share. SHOW US YOUR STATS(since you make the claim that they cost us).
When an illegal uses the school systems who pays? Same example as above and most of the kids are US Citizens…..
"If illegals are having a major negative effect on the country what can you do, just sit back and let it happen?" In fact history shows that Immigration has ALWAYS had a positive effect in the US through out history. Immigrants tend to be younger and have more kids. As now the baby boomers retire and for every 3 people that retire or will retire only 1 works Immigrants can fill that role and help the US economy continue to grow, if it was not for Immigrants the US birth rate would be negative, just look at Europe. They do not grow fast because their population is old. It seems that you need to go to school on this before you pose questions that you know very little about…..

We need to do a better job of closing the borders, a better job of assuring that employers can't hire illegal immigrants, and then we need to have another amnesty, "path to citizenship", whatever you want to call it.
Obama has actually done more to police the borders than Bush ever dreamed. He has sent back more illegals than Bush and investigated more employers. But our border with Mexico is, what, 2000 miles long and the border with Canada is, what, 4000 miles long. We will never get perfection but we can do better. In addition, we need better oversight of those who come on short-term visas – such as foreign students or relatives who come for a visit and never leave. Of course, we have to be willing to pay for it – so I am all for a tax increase.
What we need on the books are really tough penalties against employers. Republicans here won't do it – look at the waffling in the state law. It is hard to imagine that national Republicans will do it – that would hurt their farmer buddies. But, they might – every once in a while they actually do something besides pass tax cuts or laws that affect marriage, abortion, or the sex lives of citizens. I don't think the Dems will do it unless there is simultaneously a "path to citizenship" for those already here. And the Pubs won't do the path. So, stalemate.
There is a way out. Close the borders and monitor those who are supposed to be here under a temporary visa, put real penalties in the law against employers of illegals, and one more amnesty.

Federation for American Immigration Reform
Executive Summary
This report estimates the annual costs of illegal immigration at the federal, state and local level to be about $113 billion; nearly $29 billion at the federal level and $84 billion at the state and local level. The study also estimates tax collections from illegal alien workers, both those in the above-ground economy and those in the underground economy. Those receipts do not come close to the level of expenditures and, in any case, are misleading as an offset because over time unemployed and underemployed U.S. workers would replace illegal alien workers.

Wow. To those who say the Bible says to 'obey the law of the land' I would love to know how you propose to punish the Americans who are actually breaking the law of the land? Or is this just about the Latinos who break the law of the land? Surely you want ALL who break the law punished? My guess in your selective use of Scripture you would not obey the Bible as far as witnessing and evangelizing this group before shoving them out the door. Nice selective use of Scripture.

What you describe is so common it actually has a name: proof-texting. Quote the one scripture that tends to back up your argument while ignoring all the others that do not.
It is also common in political discussion with the words of politicians. The right proof texts the left and the left proof texts the right and we get no where and then whine and wail about how bad things are.

Let's just say we treat ILLEGAL's like the countries illegals come from treat illegals. You from Honduras? We'll treat you like your government treats illegals. You from Mexico? We treat you like the Mexican government treats illegals. Get the point CT. I think the illegal traffic would slow down a bit if people crossing the border illegally kew they were going to be treated the way their own goventment treats people. Besides, Tucker, when your lawn boy, au pair, and housekeeper get deported, you'll have the opportunity to help the unemployment problems the moron Obama created!!

Actually Cosby … Mexico has been doing brutal roundups of Hondurans inside Mexico ( a Honduran was shot dead in one raid in Mexico City . What is funny are the excuses MEXICAN employers of illegals use there ( they do work Mexicans won't do ) I kid you not !
The fact is people like Tucker doesn't WANT a solution .Doesn't matter . People like her are being made increasingly irrelevant every single day by their own actions .

I am much more disturbed about the growing Baptist control over every aspect of life here in the south than I am over a few dollars from my wallet that go to feed, clothe, and care for fellow human beings that have fled here to find a decent life. The true criminals (those who will not obey our laws or who traffic drugs) should be prosecuted and deported…the law-abiding should be provided a way to earn legal status.. Perhaps the real truth behind the vicious anger against illegal immigrants is that they are not wanted at all, they don't speak English, they are different, and "not like us". Therefore, if we keep them "illegal" we can continue to not accept them and continue to fuel our righteous anger…something many folks just love to do. If the Hispanic immigrant issue (and let's be honest here..this IS what people are up in arms about, regardless of objections otherwise), is resolved, there WILL be another to jump on…and another group of humans to be better than.

The vast majority of these illegals have come to USA only for a better life….that's all.
Many of them have been living here for many years because the immigration department has not gone after them relentlessly.
When people live in a community for a long time they tend to forge relationshipd that become hard to break….if not INHUMAN to break.
Having compassion is by defenition the act of forgiving them their trespasses and embracing them.
The word that can be used to describe this is "AMNESTY"
It is not like a bad 4 letter word or something….even if you call it "pickled cucumber" or "earned legalization" it is nothing short of Amnesty.
No doubt there are illegals in the Baptist Church congregation because many of them are truly born again Christians…just that somehow they got thier immigration status messed up due to some bad advice from some attorney or something like that.
NO ONE wants to live illegally anywhere…circumstances force them to do so.
How can you possibly deport a person who came to USA as a child at age 2 or 3 with their parents and has lived here for over 15 to 18 years continuosly and calls this country HOME.
At a time when the US economy is in bad shape, if you charge these illegals even $1000 per family as penalty and get them to come forward and get legal status, that will bring in over a BILLION dollars into Federal hands…..money that can be used to boost the economy in so many ways.
At the end of the day…money talks.
Look at John McCain… a strong supporter of amnesty for immigrants and has been talking for so long trying to help illegals become legal…..now that HIS JOB IS ON THE LINE….he has changed sides and has become anti-immigration.
It is the same with Baptist Preachers and their congregations.
They talk about compassion because Jesus Christ had compassion on their filthy souls but now that they feel they are washed by the Blood of the Lamb….everyone else must go to hell.
The very same white republican conservatives used to believe that black man was created by God to serve them. And they were convinced the Bible said so.

Is very sad to see politicians going to church Sunday but Monday are doing legislation that can be used to knock down brown people, and they think they are doing great and following the ideas of Jesus.
Great Americans hypocrites like McCain saying there is evidence illegal immigrants are making the fires in Arizona. EVIDENCE is something you can show and prove but this people is like those who are still waiting to find the weapons of mass destruction in Irak.
The Lord Jesus was with poor people, was not with the rich and the famous.
But reality was that Jesus was killed using the same kind of legislation.
The legal king was not Jesus, so they wrote in the cross INRI what mean illegal king, the false king.
Is a very sad story.
May be true that if Jesus come again we will kill him one more time … may be not in a cross but in something like the electric chair.

Archie Bunker, YOU ARE NUTS !
Just WHO DO YOU THINK DONE THE VEGETABLE PICKING , TOILET SCRUBBING JOBS THAT YOUR ILLEGAL FRIENDS SUPPOSEDLY ARE DOING BEFORE THEY CAME HERE AND BROKE THE LAW ? HUH ? Um, people like me , YOU IDIOT.
You know what ,I used to be just like you when I was sleeping with the illegals . Then I had one put a switchblade to my throat on my property, just because I said something he didn't like.
I used to just cry out for them all the time. Cuss anyone that didn't agree with what I said. Well it took a beaten from one of those illegal scum to get my head screwed on right. I thank God for the beating that opened my eyes up. I worked with these people SIDE BY SIDE in the tobacco fields, in the factories, and you are a FOOL to think they are grateful for anything we Americans do for them. I have had them laugh and tell me, we know we are breaking the law and WE DON'T CARE! We are here, we are taking over GET OVER IT. now Archie Bunker, when one of your children is molested by one ,I don't want to hear you whine and complain. Illegals don't care what the take from hard working Americans . The don't care you idiot ! They tell me that rules don't apply to them. They can do whatever they like. The do the crime and then they run. Plain and simple.
If they were Christian they would know immediately that by being here in this country illegal is breaking the law. They don't care . They even tell me that they come here to get the welfare , the free healthcare and just as soon as the free ride stops, they will leave. People WAKE Up.
yes, it's one thing to be a Christian. But God is a God of order. Laws are meant to be respected.
When those people go home and come back the legal way, yes by all means LET'S HELP THEM.
They are like spoiled children whom mommy and daddy have never said the word NO to. Then when they do get reprimanded for something , they cut a shine and tear the daylights out of every thing. I don't want to hear that I am racist. I used to date them until I got my head screwed on right. Thank God for that day.

Hey , here's an idea. How about 30 million Americans , head on down to Old Mexico and become "undocumented workers" and let's hang the American flag and protest in the streets every time we demand something be handed over to us and they don't comply. Let's demand free education for our children who are born there because we were "visiting". Let's demand free healthcare , and holler racism every time we don't get the job. Oh , and they all need to learn English since we Americans are too lazy to learn Spanish. All of us women can get PG and become baby factories and spit a kid out every 9 months. So they can become Mexican citizens. Wonder if it could go on for decades like it has here in America without being unpunished ? I don't think so. Mexico isn't that stupid.

I really don't understand why everyone doesn't give their undying love and affection for our lovely hostess.
I wish you all could see the shrine I've made for her at my mom's house. I've taken a picture of it and mailed it in, but didn't get a response. It was probably just lost in the mail.
And my one liners are funny darnit! I spend a lot of time patrolling this blog so nobody gets away with saying anything mean about her. Some people call me a sychophant, the epitome of a internet troll, a loser, unoriginal, but I don't care. My goal in life is to defend dearest Cynthia. So all you bad people out there take note, my eyes won't leave my computer screen from 8am to 8pm every day, so you better be on your best behavior. I know I will be, Cynthia might communicate with me, or better yet speak to me in person, that would be so peachy, I would probably cry. Oh a boy can wish though.

Between Exodus,Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy there are eleven places where God commands the Isrealites to treat the alien among you as you treat yourself. In Deuteronomy there is a curse, not a loosey-goosey injunction, but a full bore curse on those who mistreat the alien. The Bible is so pro immigration it hurts. But then why should anyone care what the Bible actually says?

"…the Southern Baptist Convention called for "a just and compassionate path to legal status" for the nation's estimated 11 million undocumented workers."
Undocumented workers, there's another nice sanitized term for illegals. And it's not really an accurate term, because most of them do have documents – counterfeit documents.

"…schools determine whether students have legal documents. (That's just foolish time-wasting, since the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that public schools must educate minors, whether they are here legally or not.)"

"…but Arizona is having to share its anti-immigrant notoriety." First, Arizona is anti-illegal immigrant. Secondly, it's too bad they can't "share" the criminal violence that comes across their borders from the illegals. If these criminals are so commendable, there are at least two options open to them: (1) Enter the U.S. legally and work toward citizenship like many generations of legal immigrants before them; (2) Work toward making their own country better.

Tucker does not struggle with illegal immigration. She believes in open borders and the democratic party. But not in that order.
June 23rd, 2011
9:51 am
Interesting debate. No consensus was reached. Neither side will compromise. Which is where we have been for decades. And probably why the Federal policy will remain what it is today. The several states will enact some policies restricting illegal immigration that may or may not pass the test of the Supreme Court.
When last we passed a Federal Bill on illegals a Republican president, a Republican Senate and a Democratic House agreed on a compromise. And the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 was signed into law by Reagan.
Today any attempt to compromise would be DOA.
But change is on the horizon.
From the AP: "For the first time, minorities make up a majority of babies in the U.S., part of a sweeping race change and growing age divide between mostly white, older Americans and predominantly minority youths that could reshape government policies." (cut)
"Demographers say the numbers provide the clearest confirmation yet of a changing social order, one in which racial and ethnic minorities will become the U.S. majority by midcentury."
So if we do not change the law in a few years the new majority can make the decision.
June 23rd, 2011

Jconservative. The clout your "new majority" will have is going to be a direct result of illegal immigration and the birthright citizenship clause. In other words, it will be a power stolen from it's rightful owners.

Just when everyone was settling down for another month (at least) of borderline primary season tedium, it happened. Rick Santorum announced that, after one of the most surprisingly successful primary campaigns in recent memory, he was suspending his run for the Republican nomination to be President of the United States. What was behind this sudden about turn from the conservative who was closest to pushing Mitt Romney for victory? Well it has to be said that the decision seems largely to have been made on personal grounds. With his three year old daughter, Bella, having been hospitalised last week, noted family man Santorum decided to call it a day.
Of course there were political reasons as well, of that there is no doubt. The Santorum team was clearly frustrated with the failure of Newt Gingrich to pull out of the nomination race, a decision which, had it been made by the former Speaker of the House some time ago, could have resulted in Santorum being far closer behind Romney.
Furthermore the Santorum campaign simply could not have continued to compete with Romney financially for much longer. With his huge budget and supportive poll numbers in states like Santorum's home state of Pennsylvania, Romney was making life more and more difficult for Santorum to remain a realistic competitor and no doubt that has taken its toll.
Still, it was a surprising move from a man who, as recently as last week, pledged to remain in the race until one candidate had amassed the delegate count needed for victory.
What is perhaps most interesting about the fallout from this Santorum move is the reaction from the Republican party. At the moment little is clear but this could be just the trigger Republicans have needed to finally get behind Mitt Romney as their candidate for November. Polling has suggested that Santorum supporters will now split between Romney and Gingrich and it is now almost a foregone conclusion that Romney will cruise to victory, especially as he is well ahead of Gingrich in polling in large winner takes all states such as California.
The best thing Newt could do of course would be to drop out but his stubbornness still knows no bounds and as such Santorum's announcement only prompted him to make a plea for more support from conservatives. Realistically though his campaign must realise that only in their wildest dreams will Gingrich stake a claim to the nomination. His polling simply is not good enough and the amount of states coming up which feature winner takes all delegate allocation figures heavily against him as the Romney team will be able to vastly outspend him in the campaigning stakes.
One candidate who it seems will definitely finish the race alongside Mitt Romney is Ron Paul, the libertarian who has run his campaign to promote an ideal rather than with genuine hopes of victory. Paul could be on the list for potential Vice-President nominees, if so inclined, and so it will be interesting to see what he does when the GOP is forced to eventually put its weight behind Romney as its candidate. How soon that open backing of Romney will be remains an open question but senior party figures must be hoping that attention now finally turns to the fight against Obama and not the fight between Republicans.

Threat Description
Detox is the third known macro virus to infect Access databases. This virus infects all database files all directories on the same drive as the virus.
Automatic Disinfection
Allow F-Secure Anti-Virus to disinfect the relevant files.
For more general information on disinfection, please see Removal Instructions.
Technical Details
Detox consists of a module called TDU and has a macro called Autoexec. Autoexec is automatically executed when an infected MDB file is opened. This virus can not be stopped by holding the shift key while opening the database. This is because the virus changes Access Properties incuding AllowSpecialKeys, AllowBreakIntoCode and AllowBypassKey respectively.
The virus does not activate in anyway but it does contain these comments:
The Detox Unit Access Macro Virus written by Sin Code IV (an old friend by any other name...)
Since the virus turns off the Show Hidden Objects flag and deletes the Tools/Options menu, the macro code can not be easily viewed. This can be bypassed by choosing View/Toolbar/Customize Reset command. When doing this, the an infected database should be kept open - otherwise the virus in Autoexec macro would delete the Tools menu again.

Reports: Marathon Bombing Suspect In A Boat In Watertown Backyard
Reports: shots have been heard in the Watertown neighborhood where police have been searching for Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the second suspect in the Marathon bombing in Boston.
This is a developing story.
A person who is may be the suspect in the bombing case is taking cover in a boat in the backyard of a home at 67 Franklin Street. An image of Google Street View that appears to be the boat is below.
According to reports, SWAT teams, Special Ops, FBI and state police are all on the scene.
The suspect has been pursued by police since he was identified as a suspect on Thursday. Tamerlan Tsarnaev, his older brother, was killed in a shoot out with police. A massive manhunt for Dzhokhar has been underway all day today. The city of Boston was shut down all day Friday, with residents advised to stay indoors. In a press conference around 6 p.m., authorities lifted the ban.
Meeting minutes from a 2009 conservation commission list the owner of the house at 67 Franklin as David T. Henneberry.
Watch our video below for background on the case thus far.

Agencies that have at least one certified employee may qualify as Certified Partners now. The certification process will also change, with more training materials, harder tests that include application and best practices, and a new badge that includes a "click to verify" CTA. Individuals certifying will now have to pass two tests instead of one, according to Search Engine Land.
For large enough agencies, Google will be waiving the AdWords API fee. They'll begin accepting applications for that program one month from today.
Google is also adding a searchable database of Certified Partners now, enabling prospective clients to search for an agency to serve their AdWords needs. For once, the database is totally opt-in (good job, Google!). According to Google:
Searches can be filtered by location, agency experience within a particular budget range, the types of services provided and the industry verticals an agency serves. Advertisers can then evaluate the list of Certified Partners that meet their criteria and contact the partners who seem best suited to their needs.
Clearly, Google is looking at the way they interact with agencies, and trying to make their AdWords offerings more friendly to their biggest clients.
What do you think? Will this change the way agencies and Google interact?

TRENTON, Ga. — A 19-year-old Dade County, Ga., man who showed no emotion during his weeklong murder trial tried to hold back tears Wednesday when his father asked the judge to let his son one day see his children outside prison.
"I know he has to pay for what he's done," said Johnathan Ellison's father, Nickey, tears in his eyes. "I do ask anyway for life with the possibility of parole so he could get out and see his kids and have a future."
Afterward, Superior Court Judge Brian House told Ellison he didn't believe Ellison was a good father, based on court testimony, but that he wasn't on trial for that.
"Your father begs for your life," House told Ellison. "This is one of the worst crimes one could commit. ... [But] one thing you do have in your favor is no criminal record and your age."
With those words, House sentenced Ellison to life with the possibility of parole in 30 years for malice murder, felony murder and aggravated assault.
A Dade County jury convicted Ellison last week in the stabbing death of Antwane Hyatte, 36, of Chattanooga. According to testimony, Hyatte came to Ellison's house March 16 to sell him marijuana and Ecstasy.
James Oglesby, 27, who was also at Ellison's home, faces identical charges and will be tried next year.
After sentencing, Ellison stood and told his family he was sorry for what he put them through. But first he turned to Hyatte's mother and two sisters, saying, "I'm sorry for what happened to him that day."
Hyatte's family held each other as they wiped away tears.
Hyatte was the father of a 16-year-old son.
During the hearing, the audience saw a slide show of Hyatte with his son, mother and sisters.
"It was obvious [Hyatte] was a good father to his son and a good son to his mother," Judge House said. "He had some problems, but he didn't deserve what he got."

I spent Saturday with Jeff (whom I nabbed this photo from) manning the Cloudscape table at Fan Expo. I've never been to a con this big. It was very overwhelming, but fun nonetheless.
I'd never been to a con with cosplay, so that was really neat. There were lots of Links and many, many Harley Quinns. Even though I don't read Homestuck, I kind of really like Homestuck cosplay. There were lots of cute little homestucks around. So that was adorable.
My highlight of the con was meeting Amy T. Falcone from Strip Search (if you're not watching this you should be). She was delightful. She did a little sketch on the mini comic I bought & told me I had the best sweater.
That night I went COSMIC BOWLING with friends because it was Chris's birthday! It was so much fun! I haven't been bowling since grade 8, so of course I was terrible. However, Jonathon & I had a little competition going on to see who was the worse bowler of the two of us, & let's just say I didn't win.

Apple kicks Google Maps off iPhone
Apple's Scott Forstall talks about using Facebook at the Apple Developers Conference in San Francisco, Monday, June 11, 2012. Fresh off a disappointing initial public offering, Facebook got a big boost from Apple, which is building the social network deep into its iPhone and iPad software. (AP Photo/Paul Sakuma)
SAN FRANCISCO - Apple is kicking an important Google application off its iPhone and buddying up with Facebook rather than Google's social network, as it distances itself from a bitter rival in the phone arena.
Google's Maps application has resided on the iPhone since Apple launched the very first version of the phone in 2007. It's one of the core apps on the phone, and can't be deleted by the user.
But on Monday, Apple executives said Google Maps will be replaced by an Apple-developed app in iOS 6, the new operating system for iPhones, iPads and iPod Touches. It's set to be released late this year.
Apple and Google are locked in a fight over the attention of hundreds of millions of phone users, and the advertising opportunities that come with owning a mapping application.
Smartphones from companies like Samsung and Google's own Motorola division are the chief alternatives to the iPhone, and Apple has been suing those manufacturers in court, accusing them of ripping off the iPhone's ground-breaking features.
Apple also said it's building Facebook into iOS 6, snubbing the Google Plus social network. Users will be able to update their Facebook status by talking to their phones, and "like" movies and apps in Apple's iTunes store, Apple executive Scott Forstall said.
The announcements were part of the keynote presentation that kicked off Apple's annual Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco.
Apple presented new features in both phone and Mac software, plus updated laptops. But investors were mildly disappointed, as they expected more substantive news, like a hint of Apple's ambition to get into making TVs. Analysts had speculated that Apple would at least update the software on the Apple TV, a small box that connects a TV set to iTunes for movie downloads, as a prelude to perhaps launching a fully integrated TV set.
Apple shares closed down $9.15, or 1.6 per cent, at $571.17.
Apple updates its iOS software every year, to coincide with the launch of a new iPhone.
Among other updates in iOS 6, Apple's voice-command application Siri will add a host of new languages, including Spanish, Korean and Mandarin Chinese, Forstall said. "She" will also be able to launch applications and movies, and will run on iPads for the first time.
Apple also said the new version of its Mac operating system, Mountain Lion, will go on sale next month for $20. The update brings features from Apple's phone and tablet software, like the iMessage texting application, to the Mac.
Microsoft Corp., Apple's competitor when it comes to computer software, is also making Windows more like its phone software, with the release of Windows 8 later this year. A key difference is that Microsoft is betting that PCs will have touch screens, while Apple is betting they won't.
Mountain Lion will also bring dictation to Macs. Users will be able to input text by talking to the computer, in any program. This is already a feature of Microsoft Corp.'s competing Windows software.
On the hardware side, Apple showed off a laptop with a super-high resolution "Retina" display, setting a new standard for screen sharpness.
The new MacBook Pro will have a 15-inch screen and four times the resolution of previous models, Apple executive Phil Schiller said.
Apple already uses "Retina" displays — with individual pixels too small to be distinguished by the naked eye — in its latest iPhones and iPads.
On the phones and tablets, the Retina display is a standard feature. On the MacBook, it's an expensive upgrade. The new MacBook will cost $2199 and up, $400 more than the non-Retina MacBook with the same-sized screen.
The new MacBook borrows features from the ultra-slim MacBook Air. It's only slightly thicker, and like the Air, lacks a DVD drive. Instead of a spinning hard drive, it uses flash memory for storage. In the most radical departure from the last decades of PC design, it lacks an Ethernet port. Those who don't want to use Wi-Fi to connect to the Internet will have to buy an adapter that goes into the MacBook's "Thunderbolt" port.
Apple's other MacBooks are being updated with the latest processors from Intel Corp. Apple will still sell a more traditional 15-inch MacBook Pro, with a standard display.

Blu-ray players give you lots of entertainment options. They'll play high-definition Blu-ray discs (including 3D movies, in some cases), regular DVDs, and CDs. And a growing number of players stream video from Internet sites such as Netflix, giving you access to the world of on-demand entertainment. With prices now starting as low as $100 or so, it's no surprise that Blu-ray players are pushing standard DVD players to the sidelines. It makes sense to consider a DVD player only if you have an older, standard-definition TV and don't expect to upgrade soon. (We no longer test standard DVD players, but you can get buying advice here.)
- Security software
Failing to protect your computer from online threats can shorten your machine's life and lead to the theft or corruption of data, including sensitive personal information. But you don't have to spend a lot on security software. We found that free programs are fine for most people.
- E-book readers
E-book readers are portable devices, usually with display screens optimized to show the electronic text of digital books. These electronic book readers are typically larger than cell phones and smaller than most tablet computers. Tablets with e-book apps, Web browsers and more robust processors typically offer more versatile than e-readers.

She got me a dress from hot topic and I actually liked it but a little shorter
We went to the club and I saw Mickey
Mickey: You came!!!
Me: Yea I felt bad and I wanted my friend Emma to come
Emma: Hi
Mickey: Hey
Me: Hey Mickey where's Jeff
Mickey: I don't know he came with Beth and they got in a fight
Emma: Who's Jeff?
Me: A co-worker I need to find him
Then I saw Matt coming
Me: Hey Matt this is my friend Emma
Emma: Hi
Matt: Hey
Me: Matt where's Jeff
Matt pointed at Jeff I told Emma that I'll be back I ran over to Jeff covered his eye he turned around and smiled
Jeff: Hey I thought you didn't want to come
Me: I didn't but I felt bad for ditching Mickey at the mall, I felt bad for not being able to be with my best friend everyday and...
Jeff: and because you wanted to have fun
Me: No I felt bad because I was acting like a dick to you earlier today
Jeff: Oh it's okay
Me: So what happened with Beth
Jeff: I don't know I was dancing with her and she saw someone else and left
Me: That sucks you want to dance
Jeff: Sure
so we went on the dance floor we just laugh and then we were really close to each other but then Emma said she was tired and too lazy to drive home I wanted to hang out with Jeff and Matt more so I asked them if they wanted to hang out at my apartment they said yea so we drove to the apartment. Emma just laid in the couch hogging it all up and Matt sat on the other chair so me and Jeff laid on my Bed matt fell asleep so did Emma and me and Jeff just joked around the whole night. We knocked out I woke up first but I feel back asleep because I didn't want to cook for them. I woke up an hour later and I just see Jeff staring at me with his green eyes.

I was going to post about LS if no one else did. LS is as much a staple in my UI folder as Automaton is for the author. You will pry my Lunar Sphere out of my cold, dead, bear paws.
It's not so relevant anymore, what with glyphs removing the reagent requirement on most major spells, but it does also auto purchase specified items at vendors. I used to use it to auto buy ammo on my hunter, auto buy drinks for my casters, and I still use it to auto buy portal reagents for my mage.
Plus, it does rez macros. And automatically randomly chooses between them. Or you can use chat macros for any spells (mounts, portals, cooldowns, etc).
Okay, someone stop me now, because you'd think I was selling this dang addon. :)
