Day 17: Looking at Living Room Lighting
Apartment Therapy January Cure
Day 17: Thursday, January 24
Assignment: Assess your lighting in the living room and plan improvements
Today is a bit of a breather as we hit the home stretch...just one week to go! No big chores this evening, just a little time assessing the lighting situation in your living room. Maxwell writes that "most homes are not well lit, which is a shame, because good lighting is a luxury that everyone can afford." He's right - I'm a big believer that nothing has a bigger impact (for the smallest investment) than lighting - its often the difference between a space that feels cold and dull as opposed to one that's warm and welcoming.
Today's Assignment:
• Assess your living room lighting.
First up, Maxwell's guideline: a well-lit room should have at least "three unique points of light that vary from bright, concentrated light to soft ambient light".
The photo above is of my living room, illustrating just one example of a three point lighting set up. In this part of the room, the three points of (artificial) light are: a floor lamp next to the sofa, which is on a dimmer, but can set to be fairly bright and direct (for reading), a table lamp on the small side table, which is softer and a bit warmer, thanks to its silk shade and finally, ambient light which splashes across the the fireplace, coming from a simple six bulb track. Even though the track is located on the ceiling, the light is direction-able, so I can focus it down and across the wall with a few of the bulbs while specifically illuminating artwork with one or two others. It's also on a dimmer, which is rarely set higher than about 50% power.
From the Eight Step Home Cure, an explaination the concept of light flow: "When you enter a room, your eye is instinctively drawn to the light sources. Light fixtures also create warmth and visual movement all around them. A room that relies on a single fixture in the ceiling does not allow much movement and draws our gaze up away from where we live."
I'm lucky to have high ceilings in the living room, so focusing the lighting down in the lower portion of the vertical space really helps in the evenings to simultaneously make the sitting area feel more cozy and intimate, while making the (unlit) ceiling feel even higher. Because the three points are each set at a different height, but are all fairly low, it keeps your eyes moving around the space while keeping the focus on the "human scale" portion of the room.
Ok, now with all of that in mind, take a look at your current living room lighting. Think about the three points concept, as well as the quality and intensity of the lighting.
• Do you rely only on an overhead fixture? If so, a small investment in two or three lamps will make a huge difference to your room (possibly the biggest one of the whole Cure - no kidding!). Affordable options abound, both new and used (I've found some favorites at thrift stores). Aside from how much better your space will look when more evenly lit, lighting is a fun addition to the room in other ways, adding color, texture and a bit of individuality to your decor.
• If you do have multiple lamps already, do you have ability to dim them? If not, this is a great starting point. Installing a dimmer wall switch for overhead or directional lighting is a fairly simple and cheap DIY (here is our step by step tutorial) and any lamp can be made dimmable instantly with a plug in cord dimmer (I use these, from IKEA - easy!).
• Finally, really consider the quality of the light - is it too cool or warm for you? What about the brightness? There is often no need for super high watt bulbs in the living room. If you don't really love the color temperature or wattage, a simple bulb swap out can do wonders. It's worth a bit of experimentation to find a favorite, especially for the lighting in your living room.
• Make note of what you need to improve your current set up and add it to your shopping list to deal with on the weekend, if possible, or ASAP afterwards.

Great reminder that I need to pick up a less bright+warmer toned bulb for my new bedside lamp. And remember NOT to throw old bulbs in the trash - especially not energy-saving ones!!
ok, this is good...
I sometimes feel that we live in 2 different homes-our living room shines during daylight hours-it looks bright and fresh and energetic-a happy home-by evening, the vibe changes, and not in a nice way. What looked good hours before, now looks tired and really blah. I know that it is the lighting and always say I'll sort it out later. Thank you AT for making me look at my "laters"!!! This can only end well...
I need serious professional help with this one. I'm in a small basement apartment with few overhead fixtures and lighting it is the bane of my existence. I'm lucky to have full-sized ground level windows but the one in the living room only brings in light for an hour or so a day. There are two small spotlights in one corner of the room and that's it. I'm just totally lost as to what to do without doing any electrical work and being on a tight budget. I never thought I would say this but I just want some POT LIGHTS.
Is this Maxwell's apartment in the picture? It looks like the floor lamp and table lamp are right next to each other which looks weird to me. And they are both right below a window which is also a light source. Am I missing something here?
Got this covered; so can continue to play catch up although my 'cure' simply will not be done by the end of the month - BUT great strides have been accomplished.
Short of living literally 'bare bones', no one should need to rely on overhead lighting unless showing your place at night for resale or searching for something dropped on the floor.
Hi Matilda,
No, its my apartment, not Maxwell's.
It's just one illustration of the 3 point concept, not a roadmap for all rooms - everyone will need to experiment with what works best in their space. This arrangement works well in my room, especially in the evenings when there is no natural light coming from that high window..
I made a huge mistake with a fairly expensive lamp purchase some time ago. It's my "ambient" lighting lamp, one of those lamps that arcs over the sofa. I love how the lamp looks when it's off, but it has a bright white shade the light is casts is both harsh and dim. I can't afford to replace it but if anyone has suggestions for how to warm up the light from this lamp, I would be grateful!
@Laurel: Can you replace the shade or the bulb? Those are the the two things I can think of off the top of my head. Maybe a cream or linen-colored shade will help soften the light, and if you can find a softer bulb, it will lessen the light. FWIW, I hate white lamp shades and avoid them whenever possible, because of this exact issue.
I have an arc lamp that I was initially disappointed with over the coach. The light was not pleasant. I moved it over a desk where the reflection off the hard surface really helped. I played with different basic bulbs for color and brightness till I got one I liked.
How things reflect is my challenge with two walls of windows and high ceilings. Works great in the day but just can't get enough light at night without looking like a house of lamps. Now I know my large collection of lamps is messing with my flow and will review.
I'm struggling with this one. My 1930's living room has lighting issues, but is also sorely lacking in outlets. Because the walls/ceiling are plaster and the outside of the house is stone, none can be added. The room is about 20' long -- one side has adequate lighting (two floor lamps), but the other half -- where the couch, TV, and kids' game area is -- has a single window and a single outlet, that's taken over by cords for the TV, etc. The electrician has said not to add anything more to that circuit. What have others done where lighting is needed, but outlets are lacking?
During my tidying I have rediscovered lamps that have been put away in cupboards/stored on units - I am going to use them ! I love the idea of the dimmer, something for the shopping list - my DH is loving the Cure and is downsizing the number of gadgets he has (which I am loving), and has even decided to tackle the wire issue around the TV/harddrive and the stereo/sound system. This will make me very happy - it is a no go area for me.
I have started selling some items from the Outbox on Ebay - it is a good incentive for me to keep filling the box. The proceeds are for a 'Reward' weekend away with my husband. :)
Will there be a Cure later on in the year to help and guide us to blitz our homes again?
This is an important one and a challenging one for me. My living room has two windows at one end that only get good sunlight first thing in the morning and one light fixture in the center of the ceiling. The fixture has three bulbs, but with a max of 40W, it's just not that bright. When my writers' group comes over, I notice that we're all squinting by the end of the evening. With just one outlet that's already very full, it's hard to imagine what I can do, but I will definitely try to envision a solution tonight.
Sorry Janel! I didn't mean to sound critical.
The previous owner of our condo installed the same half-circle sconces everywhere. I guess he was going for a "modern" look, but they use a weird fluorescent bulb that's hard to find, expensive, and looks yellow. They're in odd places on the walls, too. I've added a floor lamp and table lamp to my living room, but even all 4 lights plus the north-facing patio door leave the room depressingly dim. I could seriously use a professional consultation on this one, too!
If you aren't supposed to throw out the energy saving bulbs (or any bulbs for that matter), what do you do with them? Ewaste? Any advice appreciated.
For those with limited lights, outlets or who are in basement apartments, would adding one or more mirrors help? They may help to bounce around the light....
My living room is 1920s, "modernized", and has 3 can lights (2 down, 1 washing the area above the mantel), 2 sconces flanking the mantel, an overhead light, floor lamp and table lamp. The can lights are on dimmers. Sounds great, right? My problem is the overhead light installed by the previous owner is a faux-Tiuscan pendant light that hangs down nearly 30" from the 8' ceiling. It's half over our coffee table, and we constantly have to look out so we don't bonk our heads on it. It matches the 2 sconces, so I'd have to replace 3 fixtures. Trying to find a semi-contemporary/transitional "set" for a reasonable price has been daunting. *sigh* Oh, and the switches are both deep ivory and off-white in the same ganged wall plate...grrr.
Similar problem in my apartment--only two outlets in the room, and it would look ugly to run an extension cord past the fireplace to the corner that sorely needs a lamp.
Where I live, the hardware stores will recycle these bulbs for you, and so does Ikea. Also, there is a household hazardous waste center where you can drive up and drop off batteries, bulbs, old paint, garden sprays, etc. They take anything, no questions asked, to keep it out of the landfill.
@Laurel, is it a fabric or glass shade? if it's fabric, why not paint it with a diluted paint to help soften the glow? i say diluted paint so the shade doesn't become completely opaque.
Matlilda, Of course not, I didn't think you did - I was just explaining that all situations and solutions will be different, but hopefully the end results will all consistently be an improvement!
Our semi-mountain home has wood walls in the living room. Not wide, verticle paneling but diagonal, thin, wainscotting which is angled differently on each wall, meeting in a dark corner. Problem is, on wall had a huge German shrank/shrunk(?) which I don't hate that hides TV and electronics. Getting a decent way to light the corner now is super-tricky, though. Most standing lamps come to can akward height next to the shrank and paper-lantern types look strange too. So for now I've a standing lamp with a bendy neck which isn't bad but its boring beige shade is. Has anyone tried RIT/fabric painting lamp shades? Any luck? I just can't find a good bright one which fits it.
I tend to think the more lamps in a room the better. you can turn them off or on as needed
Any good ideas for overhead lighting on high ceilings? We have two lamps, but this is the light that is easiest to switch on from room entry. We have a pendant light in the dining room, but seems silly in living room?
I've seen some fabulous living rooms with pendant lights but I think the key is to be dramatic. This house tour has a great example - the giant feathered pendant above the sofa. Swoon! http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/-title-house-to-69760
@brooklynbeetle: Lowes and IKEA both collect CFLs for recycling, and I would be shocked if Home Depot didn't collect them. You can also see if your city has a hazardous waste processing facility. I can't wait for my CFLs to die so we can replace them with LEDs.
I know it is a bit of an expensive option, but I have been absolutely thrilled with my Phillips Hue bulbs. I can instantly change the entire lighting profile of several rooms in my apartment with the press of a button on my phone or ipad. Nothing is cooler to me than being able to hit a button called "Movie" and have all the lights in the kitchen/living room slowly fade to black except for the one ambient light by the tv which dims to a soft orange glow. There's a billion other combinations you can use as well. I'm very fond of them as you can tell!
I want to put all my living room lamps on the above device so I can turn them all on and off at once.
I have the above intermatic timer for my bedside lamp. I set the lamp to turn on 1 minute after my alarm goes off...it's harder for me to ignore light than noise in the morning...
that RUG! pure amazingness and hugeness.
Finally one I think I am already set on! Our living room is pretty big, three times the size of our old one, and when we first moved here we had TWO lamps (because that was all there was space for at our old house.
We have six now, which seems to work pretty well, except that I just rearranged the furniture yesterday and we lost an end table (which was in an awkward spot anyway, but convenient for a lamp). The lamp that used to be on the end table was swapped with some tree branches with string lights that we'd moved out of the playroom to make space for the Christmas three, and will now go back in there. I'm thinking I need a floor lamp next to the bookshelves where the end table and lamp used to be. But, we don't have one that will fit, and buying one isn't in the budget right now (unless I score one at a thrift store).
I agree that more is better. We tend to turn lights on and off as we need them. There are also eight sconces around the room, but I don't care for the light they give off. They have glass shades now, and I bought little fabric ones to replace them, but they didn't fit. They are nice when we need it bright though.
@lotsofcloth Outlets can always be added, is just might be expensive. I am preparing to have all the knob and tube wiring replaced in my house which was built in 1916. I have plaster walls and ceilings. They will snake lines to the attic and then run them down in the walls. Some will also come up from the basement. In extreme cases they run a conuit outside the house to the attic and then down through the walls. You need to schedule a wall repair guy to come in after and patch the holes but it can be done. If you have old wiring to those outlets really listen to your electrician about not overloading the circuits.
Thanks! I am not sure I could find the right kind of shade to replace with, it's one of these lamps: http://www.cb2.com/big-dipper-arc-floor-lamp/s126317 and I would need any replacement to work with the diffuser. As for bulbs, I did try a few but they didn't seem to make any difference. I'd really love some suggestions on "warm" bulbs!
@strawberryjam it is a fabric shade and I might be willing to paint it but it makes me nervous in case i mess it up! Any online tutorials for this would be welcome!
We have three lamps in our living room -- two matching ones on either side of the sofa and one in the opposite corner next to our little bar and the table we eat dinner at. The light from the two lamps by the sofa is pretty good I think, as they have shades that diffuse the light a bit -- I might check the wattage that we use though and think about lowering it a bit. And I am totally getting the dimmer from Ikea for the other lamp. I really like having it on to add more warmth to the room, but it gets a bit bright for the boyfriend. I think a dimmer would be the perfect solution.
Forgot to note that while we have an overhead light source on our ceiling fan, we never use it. I'm not actually sure it even works. I should look and see if it's possibly to take the light portion off of it.
You need a better electrician. Or one more experienced with plaster walls.
The electrical circuits in your house can be upgraded to handle more technology and lighting. Wires can be run anywhere. Jlwimd is correct--wires can be run in the attic or basement and even through plaster walls. It's a bit more difficult and time-consuming, and therefore more expensive than similar work with drywall, but it can be done. Or you can do what the previous owner of my 1901 house did and just run electrical conduit right above the baseboards to get the outlets where you need them. Painted the same color as the baseboards, the conduit, while it wouldn't be my first choice, does blend right in.
My father electrified the attic of an 1880s Victorian with plaster walls--ceiling fixtures and outlets. There will be holes in the walls that need to be patched and painted. And it isn't cheap, because it takes more time than fishing wires through drywall. Labor comes at a price.
But if it makes the difference between an non-functional, dark room and a functional, pleasantly bright room, it might be worth it.
I luckily already have my overhead light on a dimmer switch with a fairly warm coloured bulb (we had to get an energy saving bulb that specifically worked with dimmers otherwise it makes a scary buzzing noise). I also have a floor lamp but that's it at the moment as I don't really have anywhere else I can put another lamp. The living room is on my project list for this year so will see what I can do then.
In the meantime I'm going to get a floorlamp for an empty corner of the dining room as it looks quite bland at the moment.
Given most of us try to use energy efficient lighting, a little more information on how to identify & select the color of light a fluorescent of LED bulb will provide is helpful...
These bulbs should show a Kelvin rating on the packaging, indicated by a number, usually between 2700-4200, ending in a K. The lower the number, the warmer the light the bulb will produce. Lower K bulbs may cost a bit more, they require some technological jury rigging to make what is normally a cool light, appear warm. But the difference the color of bulbs can make in a space is amazing.
Also being English I have no idea what drywall is. If I need to get more outlets we have to cut into the wall but that's pretty standard here. My house is only 1950s but is really lacking in outlets so everything runs off extension cables.
*or LED
My favourite design subject! I gushed about it a little while ago so I'll try to hold back. But it's easily one of the most powerful aspects of making a room feel the way it does. And it doesn't need to be expensive at all.
I have some ceiling lights that I never use. I think the bulbs have blown in most of them and I haven't the ladder, need, or desire to replace them. I'm one of those people who likes lower light than most. My favourite places to loiter are cafes with soft, warm light or live music venues where the house lights are down and the light is on/from the entertainment.
I'm trying to make my home equally enjoyable. This is something I've been thinking of for a long time. And since I'm on a bit of a personal recovery, and following the aptly named January "Cure", maybe it's time to actually do the things I've had in mind.
I'm so excited, I finished my lamp project for the Cure last night ! I found a slightly damaged designer capiz shell lamp at Salvation Army two weeks ago and talked the cashier into selling it for $5. I added a $10 IKEA white shade & $5 harp. Now I have a beautiful lamp on my desk where I needed more ambient light for only $20 (while the original cost $140 online).
I prefer to buy lamps in pairs and still hoard incandescent 3 way bulbs for mood lighting in the living room. My best lamp buys have been from TJ Maxx / Marshalls / Home Goods - they have great pairs of stylish lamps for reasonable prices for anyone looking to upgrade.
I second the rug praise! I would love any advice on where to find something similar, yet affordable. I realize it's a lot to ask, but here's hoping.
Laurel -- drape or wrap the shade with a scarf or sheer fabric to soften it if you don't want to paint it.
@katiejean -- I grew up with a German shrunk! All the Americans we knew then got them to take home and they were giant! Dark wood, sterotypical Bavarian style. I heard that they were popular because the Germans are taxed by room, and a closet is considered a room. I don't know whether that is true or not, but these big storage units were very popular.
My mom went contrary to the style, since she wanted Danish modern but was overruled when they got the shrunk. So the rest of the house was much more modern and clean, and the shrunk was left to be what it was. I could see the opposite approach working well too. In either case, an interestingly shaped pendant toward the side-front of the unit could nice. Or even three of them grouped together. If your shrunk has openings for displays, some under-cabinet lights in there would also help. Good luck!
@jlwmid, thanks for that -- I didn't even realize it could be done. It's below a bedroom and above a narrow crawl space, but it's good to know it could happen if we ever decide to go that route. And yes, original cloth wiring, with low-amp circuits, so we're being very careful.
Thanks. It helps to have some information to go on. It's a bit complicated, because the crawl space below the room has been fully sealed for radon purposes (and is only a few feet high), but it sounds like there are other options, and that it's worth talking to another electrician before giving up on making the space what I'd like it to be. Thank you!!
Part of the plan for this year's tax refund is to hire an electrician to replace the truly hideous boob fixtures with track lights in living room & kitchen--open plan house, so they need to match. That way I can bounce light off the walls, & make it bright enough for the elderly members of my church group to read without having to use the uglies, which I now put on only for cleaning. I find it very hard to read if the light source is above & in front.
Found a floor lamp with 3 bulbs at Target, with brushed metal shades that are much larger than the usual mean little ones--looks nice & modern. It's behind my reading chair, in the corner, the only place a floor lamp is not in danger from my pack of wild dogs. I do not have table lamps for that reason, but would like to find a wall light with a metal shade that could be mounted on the book case behind the other chair. I've tried clip-ons, but they never stay tight enough to keep the bulb where I want it.
Guess this one is in my blood. Except for my mini laundry room I already have three balance light sources in each room. Feels good to say I have completed this task.
Laurel, i tried looking around for painted shade tutorials. i found plenty, but honestly since i've never done it myself, it's probably best you find one yourself so you can compare outcomes to what you want. i did see a neat idea of tea dying a shade, though. which would eliminate the need for paint (and worry about pesky brush strokes--though those can probably be eliminated by using a foam brush), and still keep the shade from going opaque. good luck!
Fantastic timing with this assignment! It's low-key and we have everything we need, we just need to put it up. I am exHAUSTED but hopefully I'll gain some energy by Sunday and we can get our third light source up (by which I mean, my husband will put it up)
In my small (@ 600 sq. ft) apartment the living and dining rooms are one, and of course, there's the weird mounted desk alcove too. So the living space has one table lamp with a too dark (golden) shade and 3 can lights mounted on the ceiling in the dining area. Looking at the ceiling lights you would think they could be aimed, but turns out that is not the case. When I need to sew I have Ott work lights that I pull out. I have french doors that let in light during the day.
I've known for a while that I need to change out that shade, And, I don't know how, but the alcove space could use some lighting. It will need to be either wall/ceiling mounted, or if on the desk, it will have to have a a very small footprint. The desk space is less than 3 foot across.
The funny thing is that I have this really wonderful floor lamp in the bedroom. Solid bronze with a marble base. Uses an UNO shade.Weighs a ton. Just have not figured where it could fit in the living space. The lamp belonged to my grandparents, dates back to the 20's at least. And it sports a CFL bulb - perfect blend of old and new.
This is timely. One of my "project goal" was to revamp the living room, especially the lighting. We just got an outlet and overhead light repaired by an electrician yesterday and it feels like a different place. So we have overhead light and a floor lamp, but I am wondering about good sources for table lights. We have orange-shaded Ikeas lamp (http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/90155016) but mixed withe blue aquarium light, it's kind of strange.
I am obsessed with light! Our dark Canadian winters feel so bleak without TONS of artificial lighting. I have 9 lighting sources in the living room, 3 in the dining alcove, 3 in the kitchen, and 4 in my bedroom. Next step, when I figure out how I want to do this, is a brighter fixture in the bathroom, and a 2nd fixture in the entryway.
Do you have any suggestions for a living room with no overhead lighting? We priced having a fixture put in but discovered it would be overly expensive since there is no attic space... any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!
What wattage are you using? I saw the lamp and since it has a white fabric shade, it should soften the light, go lower in wattage, and not try to use it as a main light source, but as ambient lighting. In other words, don't go more than a 60W (or its equivelant) in an incandescent bulb, but use soft white bulbs in it, and see what you get.
Also, check to see if the shade itself is replaceable. It may be, if so, you may be able to find one that is off white, or in an ivory or parchment color that may work.
The color temperature is as important as is the wattage when it comes to lighting.
Every overhead light in our apartment is on a dimmer. When we moved in we thought it was great, until we realized that a) bulbs burn out SUPER fast and b) most CFLs are not for use with dimmers! Does anyone have suggestions for other bulbs? I'd much prefer warm light.
And we need at least one more lamp in our living room. Maybe one coming from behind the couch? I'm tempted to just knot up some Christmas lights and hang them from the corner and call it a day.
I live in a 1960 MCM era apartment building with a large living/dining area that is the main part of the unit. The dining area has an OK "crystal" chadelier with bright, shiny brass parts (which I don't mind as I think it helps warm up the light of the bulbs) and houses 5 candelabra based clear flame bulbs (incandescent).
This is on a dimmer, and came with the apartment, so I can vary it's light output. I have a small, cheap IKEA accent lamp that is currigated white plastic that sits on a LACK shelf that lishts up the forner of the dining area. I also have my landing strip with a very cool, one of a kind teak elephant lamp, and it's fitted with a 3 way incadescent bulb and contrary to what some say, 3 way bulbs won't be going away, as are some other incandescent bulbs, just the more common 60-100W ones of the old style will be gone, or are gone, but newer more energy efficient ones are replacing the older style bulbs, from what I've read. So, no fear of not being able to get incandesent bulbs.
That said, the living room nas 4 lamps, one on a table in front of the slider with a parchment shade, base is brushed brass and is a former bomb shell, dating from the Vietnam war that my late Dad brought back, and my late Mom made into a lamp for their 30th anniversary in 1976. It sports a 13W (60W equivelant) spiral CFL that is on a timer so when I come home in the dark, there is at least one lamp on in the living room, and is a nice thing to see as I approach the building, to look up and see that lamp lit at night.
There are 2 table lamps, and a floor lamp with 3 shades (early 60's Lightolier lamp I bought at an estate sale years ago), one of the shades (the top gun mettal) shade is upturned to it bounces off the ceiling, the other two are aimed either at the nearby chair, or the wall for reflective light.
The two other table lamps have silk shades one more of an oatmeal color, the other more white, but quite old and they give off a soft light. Now I spread my lamps out so they are on most sides of the room. I have no center lighting in the living portion of the space.
The room is bright, but still feels a tad flat, unless I hit the dining room light, and reduce its brightness to about half, then it fills in the center of the space somewhat.
What I dislike immensly are dark rooms, or dull rooms. I live in Seattle where it's gray and often rainy from mid to late Oct through at least April and that gray light is not conducive to warmth, it tens to suck out the color in the room in a big way, making it feel very drab, when it's not so indoor lighting helps that, if done right. I dislike it when people only have lights on in the room they are in, and this is especially true at night during the winter months where the rest of teh house is totally dark, but the room you are in and once you leave a room, turn off all lights, leaving guests to fend for themselves down a dark hall to the bathroom.
I use 3 way sockets in my lamps with incadescent bulbs, and dimmers on everything else that I can retrofit where it is needed, or simply limit my wattage to no more than a 60/65W/equivalent bulb, outside of 3 ways, and I'm finding that those that top out at 150W on the high setting is bright enough.
I have no issue with defused florescent lighting for rooms that have tasks/projects going as I need to SEE what I'm doing and for safety, if nothing else, along with close at hand task lighting in lamps or under cabinet lighting.
I like a 3 layer approach, overall lighting to bring up lighting levels enough to be safe, and prevent the room from being dimly lit, lamps for reading/task, and to spread that light around, varying it's intensity, and accent lightong of various types, be it direct cans, both direct and indirect through bounce lighting,smal lamps to bring light to a dim corner, and small floor uplight cans behind plants to bring a bit of the dramatic to a space, all together help to bring depth to the space, as well as lighting.
Yech, typos everywhere in my conment above. (shakes head in dismay)
I love the warm glow from paper lanterns, so I bought this very inexpensive floor lamp from Ikea to light up a corner of my living room:
Four lamp:1 table lamp in the corner, one floor lamp near the fireplace, two tall paper shade floor lamps in the corner. No place to read because it's too dark. The longest wall has no electric outlets, ergo no lamps, ergo not light. ARGGHHHHHH!
Sydog - LED's work much better in dimmers than CFL's, there are CFL's that are specifically for dimmered fixtures. You can also replace a dial-style dimmer with a 3-position switch which may also help. See my previous post about finding LED or CFL bulbs that still give you warm light just like an incandescent would - look for 2700k - 3100k on the packaging, this indicates the color of the light emitted. The lower the number, the warmer the light.
There's a floor lamp in my living room that I've been trying (unsuccessfully) to get rid of via Craigslist. I never use it because it's annoying to turn on and the light looks like an interrogation room lamp! Once I finally clear it out, I'll replace with a table lamp on a side table. Should be a big improvement.
Help! I have a lighting question. Moving into a new place and it has all recessed lighting. I am not used to that. It's dated, right? The previous people "upgraded" it to this. I prefer chandeliers. Is it tacky to do both?
I'd love to see AT do a list of attractive and affordable floor lamps.
Also advice on how to choose a replacement lamp shade.
I moved a lamp from our spare bedroom that hardly gets used and put it on a side table in the living room. Looks loads better and it means the lamp is actually getting used.
I'm going to be a pain in the butt and state that this post is epitome of missing the point. Three "unique lighting sources" does NOT mean 3 different lamp shades all pushed together on one table.
If you are lighting a set (which your home is the set for your life, so you'd better be thinking of it that way), you want three light sources - one that illuminates the characters, one from a different angle to help fill in the shadows, and a third to light the backdrop.
In decor, three independent lighting sources means, for example, lamps flanking a sofa and a third lamp over a desk, or as a down-light over the TV or focal point. It does NOT mean a lamp next to a window next to a sconce.
Additionally, each light should serve a purpose in addition to allowing you to see in the room. For example, the light arrangement above is utterly pointless because all three "light sources" (there are only two) only illuminate the chair immediately adjacent to them. A reading lamp next to a cozy chair is a great option, but three reading lamps next to a cozy chair? Now you're just making modern art.
The beauty of a light comes from its functionality, whether it's to highlight a favorite art piece, allow for easier reading, or illuminate the faces of individuals in a conversation circle (and if you don't know what that is, go back to interior design 101). Otherwise you have a lamp on a table on a stage and no point to the arrangement.
Do you know where to get the pendant cluster over the dining table on the previous page? We are in Australia, is there a supplier here anywhere that you know of?

Hi, I'm Ajinkya Borade
FrontEnd Developer from Mumbai, India.
It sounds silly that I'd need a goal to prevent me from doing something I know isn't a good idea, but how many times do you eat a third cookie when you know you shouldn't?
I have worked on various Front-end, UI, jQuery projects. Though I'm working on frontend web designing. My heart just keeps falling for some of the greatest web development languages; AngularJS, Ruby on Rails.
FrontEnd UI/UX Web Designer.
I can create semantic HTML5 webpages; they will be perfectly search engine optimized. With HTMl5/CSS3 praising never ends.
My main career aim is to grow deeper into JavaScript. "I'm not someone who seeks the limelight, I'm a behind the scenes kinda guy. That said, a lot of the credit going to HTML5 should be going to me." - Javascript
Whats next!
Since I love JavaScript, I'm a great fan of AngularJS (an amazing MVC by Google). If Im looking for a company I see if they are using MVC's or if they are 'Ruby on Rails' ninjas. ^_-

4. WebLearn
4.1. How do Administration Sites work in New WebLearn?
An Administrative Unit (Department, Faculty, School or College) that requires a presence within new WebLearn, needs formally to request a WebLearn Administration Site and nominate at least one member of staff (a WebLearn Coordinator) to oversee the Unit's WebLearn presence. An Administration Site is said to manage one or more (regular) new WebLearn sites and its participants are the only WebLearn users able to create new sites.
Administration Sites have 2 roles: admin and member.
participants with the member role:
- can create sub-sites of any site where they have the maintain role
- cannot visit the Administration Site
participants with the admin role:
- can create sub-sites of any site where they have the maintain role
- can visit and 'maintain' the Administration Site and therefore can
>Further information is available via these two step-by-step guides:
- weblearn.ox.ac.uk/access/content/group/info/step/adminsites1.pdf
- weblearn.ox.ac.uk/access/content/group/info/step/hierarchy7.pdf
To request an Administration site, please visit weblearn.ox.ac.uk/info.
4.2. Major WebLearn upgrade
WebLearn was upgraded on 3rd November 2009 to version 2.6-ox1. This was a major release and incorporates the new version of Sakai 2.6 (the software upon which WebLearn is based).
New Facilities – The Highlights
- Upgrade to Sakai 2.6
- Addition of 'Make Web Content Link' to every item in Resources via the 'Actions' menu – this is an easy way to add a 'Web Content' link to a file or folder in Resources to the left-hand side tools menu
- Addition of interactive participant group browser – this makes finding groups much easier
- Office 2007 documents are now searched
- Oxford term dates subscription now works; easier method of term dates display
- New much improved 'Site Stats' tool (version 2)
- Switch role' facility for 'contribute' and 'access' roles in published sites, ('view site as a student' facility)
- Addition of 'Podcasts' tool – store podcasts in WebLearn
- WYSIWYG HTML Editor upgraded and now works in Safari and Opera
See weblearn.ox.ac.uk/access/content/public/System%20notices/release-notes-upgrade-to-v2p6-ox1p0.html for more details.
4.3. WebLearn User Group
On 20 November the WebLearn User Group held its first meeting since new WebLearn was launched. New features were demonstrated, including browsing for pre-existing groups of Oxford users, automated Web Content Links, and the Podcast tool. Users started identifying where they and their colleagues currently are on the Technology Adoption Curve (Moore, 1991). It was interesting to see that the current WebLearn users who were at the meeting are, as to be expected, early adopters. They see their colleagues as being distributed between the 'early majority' and the 'late majority'. We discussed how to reach more potential users in those areas of the curve. Participants were keen for future meetings to include Show and Tell sessions presented by users, since one of the objectives of the user group is to share ideas and learn from how others use WebLearn. Needless to say, the cream tea after the meeting was a hit!
The WebLearn User Group meeting will be held once per term and booking is essential via the ITLP Courses database (booking opens 30 days in advance of the scheduled meeting). There are various ways of communicating with each other electronically.
There are two mailing lists for announcements to WebLearn users:
- Mail list for users of Old WebLearn: wl-manage-announce
- Mail list for Local WebLearn coordinators (new WebLearn): wl-coordinators-announce
The former Early Adopters site in new WebLearn has been renamed WebLearn Community (weblearn.ox.ac.uk/portal/hierarchy/info/eas). Notes from User Group meetings are available here, as well as a discussion forum for ongoing interaction and communication between all WebLearn users. (From January, there will be an email notification feature for the Forums tool, to alert participants to new postings.)
4.4. WebLearn Pilot of the Evaluations Tool
The Evaluations tool in WebLearn can be used to design, administer, deliver and manage electronic questionnaires for the purpose of course, lecturer or tutor evaluation, feedback and review. Although responses remain anonymous, the course administrator can track who has or has not completed the evaluation, and can elect to send reminders to those who have not. The tool can also be used to gather responses for other forms of research and analysis.
Questionnaire templates can be created from scratch and, if desired, added to the public list for others to see and share. A wide range of question types allows for flexible design and structure, while detailed settings control which lecturers and tutors are being evaluated, how participants access the survey, and who may view the results. Several reporting options are also available to help you collate and analyse participants' responses.
The tool is currently being piloted at Oxford University until the end of Trinity Term. The aim of the pilot project is to build up expertise in the use of the tool and to expand its use and support. If you would like to participate in Phase 2 of the pilot project from mid-Hilary term, please email firstname.lastname@example.com.
What's in it for me?
- Be an early adopter in terms of using the tool to replace paper-based evaluations
- Your suggestions will be considered for improving the tool and the user interface
- The WebLearn team will assist in creating and building your questionnaires in the Evaluations tool (subject to reasonable limits in terms of numbers of questions/questionnaires)
What will it involve?

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) - Defensive end Sam Montgomery says LSU has regained a certain focus, intensity and chemistry that had been lacking in recent weeks.
The Tigers' 23-21 triumph Saturday night over a previously undefeated South Carolina team that came in ranked No. 3 vaulted LSU back up the rankings from ninth to sixth.
Montgomery says a loss at Florida a week earlier "woke up" the Tigers and made them tougher, closer and more intense.
South Carolina, meanwhile, has fallen to No. 9 but remains in position to bounce back and win the Southeastern Conference. The Gamecocks are disappointed they were beaten at the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball by LSU, something they'll need to address before playing at unbeaten No. 3 Florida next weekend.

It almost looks as if the diagonal pavers from the section in the right end in the air...as if at a balcony or something. That's what it makes my eye do, anyway. I'm not at all sure how to "fix" it, or even if it needs to be fixed. Can't wait to see this finished.

bad scribbles dumb ideas let's go!
Some worldbuilding for earth dragons; the gray fellow there is your typical specimen, size and shape don't differ much and sexual dimorphism is very minor. Earth dragons are low to the ground and rather stubby, chubby fellows, as they evolved from a burrowing offshoot of the original dragon ancestor. They have smooth, leathery skin, and are typically colored in warm, earthy tones. Momo dragon's growth is unusually stunted even for her younger age, but her wings and flight muscles turned out proportionately larger. Earth dragons are basically shaped like corgis!
Every earth dragon has a pair of horns, and no two are exactly the same, though there's usually the main horn + two offshoots in the same direction pattern. Unusual mutations are a three-prong setup that can get quite elaborate. Even rarer are four-prong earth dragon horns.
Earth dragons have large, feathery wings with a membrane that wraps over the top from the index finger to about a foot down the tail. Tails vary from being bare to having any number of horned nubs to having furred ends like lions.
Earth dragons decorate themselves with simple paints and often wear trinkets or ties for their fluffy manes, which they can apply themselves with their dexterous hands. Think of rodents! They're very social and friendly, and probably the least likely of the four species to eat you.

A 25-year veteran of PepsiCo, I believe that there has never been a more exciting time for PepsiCo Mexico. With some of the most cherished, iconic food and beverage brands in the country—Sabritas, Gamesa, Pepsi, Quaker, Sonric's—we delight consumers every day, deliver great value for our customers and create delicious products that people enjoy around the world. That was clear as we toured a number of Mexico City restaurants and retail stores today with our Chairman and CEO, Indra Nooyi.
We saw it firsthand during a visit to Burger King. When you go to BK in Mexico, you get customized Whopper-flavored Ruffles with your burger—served with your favorite beverage like Pepsi, Mirinda or 7UP. And the BK Storm ice cream, topped with our Milch chocolate and Emperador cookies, is a sweet way to finish a meal.With all of our beloved brands, this is the kind of experience that only PepsiCo can deliver.
We also talked to our customers about our popular baked products, like our delicious nutritious cookies, developed here in Mexico. Mexican consumers have fallen in love with these cookies, so PepsiCo has brought them to consumers around the world. This line of healthy cookies is now in 25 countries, showing how PepsiCo Mexico delivers locally and around the globe.

Boise, ID (SportsNetwork.com) - Damian Lillard tallied 23 points and five assists to lead the Portland Trail Blazers to a 96-86 win over the Utah Jazz in preseason play.
LaMarcus Aldridge chipped in 20 points on 8-of-9 shooting from the field for the Blazers, who picked up their first win this preseason in three tries. Mo Williams added 11 points and a game-high seven assists off the bench.
Gordon Hayward netted 20 points to pace the Jazz while Enes Kanter went for 11 points and six rebounds off the bench. Derrick Favors grabbed nine boards.
Rookies for both teams struggled throughout the contest, with Jazz lottery selection Trey Burke missing his first five attempts while scoring just seven points on 3-of-10 shooting from the field.
Portland sharpshooter Allen Crabbe shot just 1-of-6 from the field and missed his only attempt from behind the arc.

We are generally happy with this machine but we gave it only 4 out of 5 stars because in order for it to do everything we want(perfectly clean and dry dishes that were only scraped or barely pre-washed by hand first), it takes a long time and a little work to figure it out. Soap Dispensing Challenge:For years we have used the same Shaklee powder soap and noticed a few times in a row with this new machine that our dishes were spotted, had undissolved soap chunks on them, and most of the soap was still gummed up in the soap dispenser. It turns out that if the silverware basket is completely full (one utensil in each mini slot), the soap dispensing may be compromised (even though the soap door does open during the cycle). The dispenser is located right in front of the utensil basket. Since the utensil basket is movable there is the option of moving it somewhere else in the machine and taking care not to block the dispenser door with other items. We like the utensils where they are so we just keep the single partition of the utensil basket that is immediately in front of the dispenser empty. This seems to work. The other thing we do is run the "BOOST" cycle because in this awful Chicago winter (worst in 15+ years) we think the water isn't getting hot enough to help dissolve the soap. Perhaps that latter isn't necessary but since making these 2 changes our dishes come out beautifully. The drawback to this plan are that we loose a tiny bit of silverware space (not a huge issue given that there are 2 whole utensil baskets) and that now our dishes take more than 2 hours to wash/dry! The settings we choose are: "auto-sense ( that is whether to wash heavy, light or auto-sense)", "boost" and "heated dry". Works well. Takes long. Also, we are still new to this machine so we may not know entirely how to use or troubleshoot our issues. We have only had it for 2 weeks but we use it at least once a day.For the price and because it steam washes, we are still generally happy. ABT service was great.Hope this helps someone.

One of the selling points for us was the in-the-door silverware basket with "dedicated silverware jets". We thought that it would leave us with so much more space. Well, if the silverware basket has a decent amount of silverware in it the soap doesn't come out of the soap dispenser. The little that does drips down the door and gets on the silverware (sometimes doesn't rinse off all the way), but what is left stays right where it started out. (I called the store I bought it from and they said we are not the first to complain about this, and this is a brand new, just released dishwasher! Not good to have this big of an issue right off the bat!) The only way to fix it is to move the silverware basket. And although I can do that, the point of this was to have more space! Moving it defeats that purpose. The first two weeks not one dish dried in this dishwasher. We couldn't figure it out. We used a rinse agent in addition to our soft water plus we tried all of the settings to see if it would change anything. A repair man came out and told us to turn up our water temperature. So another downside is that we had to turn our water temperature up all the way to get the dishwasher to "dry". And they are still nowhere near dry. They are still fairly wet. Lots of water on top of things, which then drips all over everything else when you go to put the dishes away. The reason that is a downside is we have small children and turning up the temp means that our small ones can get burned just by turning on the hot water (burning temp is almost immediate now). Our previous dishwasher (Also GE) lasted over ten years, being used multiple times a day, without a problem and we were able to have our water temp where we were comfortable and the dishes dried just fine with that. The dishwasher is pretty and looks like I would expect any dishwasher to look on the exterior. So nothing good or bad there. Not loving this. Will be returning. I haven't decided if I'm going to chance another GE, hoping that this just wasn't tested enough instead of a sign of a changed-for-the-worse-brand or try a totally different brand.

Very Good Machine, Little Gripes
By NOYB2
from Grand Blanc, MI, United States
Comments about GE 24" White Built-In Dishwasher:
Very good value for the price point. Machine is EXTREMELY quiet! Most of the time we cannot tell that it is running. All items are cleaned very well and they dry quite fast with door open, even plastic items (give them a shake when machine stops). Features and cycles are very useful. Some gripes. Silverware basket covers are flimsy and come loose. Stemware brackets do not hold very well or are in the way when not used. Installation instructions lack complete details, particularly for the drain hook-up. Operating instructions are also very basic and should be expanded. Finally, am definitely not a fan of the SS exterior. Shows every drop of anything and is nearly impossible to clean. The GE "Clean Steel" cabinets look the same but clean easily for a lower price.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Poor configurations, holds less.
By Kaddidlehopper
from Undisclosed
Holds less than our previous sears model. There is always water on the door when opened. Quality seems less than our previous dishwasher. Over-all my wife is not very satisfied with it.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

We love our dishwasher there is not one negative thing that I can say about it. My original dishwasher was also a GE and I had it for well over twenty years and we loved it! This one is roomy, quiet and cleans everything beautifully!
Please do not buy this dishwasher.
By B8262014
from Nevada, United States
I have owned and used this dishwasher for a little over a year. I completely regret purchasing it. Sure, it looks great and is quiet but it does not perform the main function of a dishwasher--to clean the dishes. The detergent dispenser does not open about 40% of the time, so I then re-run the cycle--wasting water, energy, time, and money. It is infuriating. Who has time for this? It also leaked for a while due to a faulty valve (that was fixed under warranty).
Super quiet and gets the job done!

this unit is well worth the money....unfortunately you pay for what you get when it comes to dishwashers...it is a little pricey but worth it!
Expected more higher quailty from GE.
By Harvey54
from Schaumburg, IL, United States
Top hold down racks keep coming loose along with silverware holders. Bottom basket could have been designed better. When you pull out basket it seems to want to come out of track.
great job it does

America's conquest of Iraq will be a gradual process, not an event, and has probably begun. Air patrols and related bombings have increased significantly and are hitting areas and target types which were previously ignored. Some of the latter attacks, i.e., on underground fiber-optic communication cables, require such precise targeting that it is likely the bombing was guided by covertly inserted ground troops using laser target-designators.
The plan here resembles the story of boiling a frog - increase the water temperature quickly and the frog will hop out. Increase the temperature slowly and it will sit there without realizing what is happening to it. American military operations, and ground force levels, in Iraq may gradually increase until surrender is only a formality.
More dramatic and less auspicious things might happen too, or instead, but it should be easier to track events from apparently unrelated facts if this pattern is kept in mind. Other patterns can overlay it and recognition of those would also enhance understanding of events.
Knowledge of military details is critical. One of the most important is the 120 mile combat radius of action of the Army's standard UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter in the assault transport role. Direct helicopter assaults are normally not possible into many or most of Iraq's most important areas because those are more than 120 miles from where we can base helicopters in Kuwait, Turkey and the northern Iraqi no-fly zone.
But Saudi Arabia has recently given the United States permission to overfly Saudi airspace, and Baghdad is only 170-180 miles from the closest portion of Saudi Arabia. That is still out of Blackhawk range, but American plans to covertly insert supply and refueling dumps into Iraq prior to overt hostilities can solve that. More than secrecy protects those - Iraqi officials are reluctant to notice them for various interesting reasons. American helicopter assault forces could take off from Kuwait or Quatar, make one-way flights to unofficial refueling bases in Saudi Arabia (assuming they don't start there while Saudi officials look the other way), fly from there to secret refueling bases in Iraq and then assault directly into Baghdad on the first day of the invasion's overt phase.
These significant changes bring almost all of Iraq into direct range of American heliborne assault. It is now possible for the United States to strike effectively on the ground throughout Iraq's strategic depth at the onset of hostilities.
The United States does not have the heliborne forces to hit everywhere at once, but can hit almost anywhere with about an airmobile division equivalent on the first day (the "inside-out" plan with a real punch). That, with the usual overwhelming airpower and a second, air-transportable, division flown into captured airfields on the second day, is more than enough to shatter potential Iraqi resistance immediately, even without a reinforced corps advancing up the Euphrates from Kuwait. We might not use this plan, but certainly have the capability now.
The strategic picture changed dramatically with Saudi permission to use its airspace. Recent news stories about Saudi officials' involvement with Al Qaeda terrorists, especially the 9/11 hijackers, should be reconsidered as successful pressure by the U.S. government to achieve its strategic objectives. Qualms about the ability of the Bush Administration in such matters should vanish too, but won?t.
The Administration's decision concerning UN weapons inspections should be viewed in light of this demonstrated competence - just doing their job tells us where Saddam's weapons of mass destruction (WMD) aren't. We're using the UN for our own purposes, which includes deception of Saddam Hussein and psychological warfare against his underlings. An ideal American victory would consist of Saddam's assassination before the invasion followed by a relatively bloodless occupation and creation of a US military government to reconstruct Iraq as we did 57 years ago in Germany and Japan. Saudi access makes this feasible - Saddam's henchmen have no chance whatever now and know it.
Assuming Saddam somehow survives to opening day, he is unlikely to outlive it. A minimum period for the duration of Iraqi resistance is two days - that long due to delays in communicating surrenders. A reasonable maximum is the number of days necessary for an American armored division in quasi-combat formation (prepared for light scattered resistance) to make an unopposed motor march from Kuwait to Tikrit, Iraq (likely only one brigade would actually do it).
At this point it appears the only significant resistance American forces might encounter would come from Al Qaeda terrorists in Iraq. Saddam's remaining loyalists weren't selected for their fearlessness or military ability (such traits threaten him). Al Qaeda has demonstrated both traits, and cares less than Saddam about Iraqi civilian casualties.
Worse, Al Qaeda might obtain Iraqi WMD, either at Saddam's orders or by seizing depots whose guards have run away, and use those on American forces AND on Iraqi civilians. Al Qaeda took a major political hit from the rejoicing of Afghanistan's people upon liberation by American forces, knows the same will happen in Iraq and is aware that America plans to make Iraq a showcase for Arab democracy. Murdering thousands of Iraqis - perhaps a million in worst case anthrax and smallpox scenarios - and contaminating large urban areas would inhibit these American goals.
American forces and equipment in the area would also face a lengthy decontamination process in the event of widespread WMD use by Al Qaeda or (far less likely) Saddam's few real diehards. The Bush Administration's reluctance to deploy really large American forces to the area might be due to fear of this.
The Administration has shown great strategic ability so far. Events are on track for a 2-7 day conquest of Iraq within a month if Saddam is not assassinated first. The big question is possible use of Iraq's WMD by somebody.

Twelfth Night, or What You Will
(7) Snow Line
We're not going to lie, getting the hang of Elizabethan language can be a little rough at first. Here's the deal: once you get comfortable with Shakespeare's voice, you see that Twelfth Night is completely doable. Compared to other Shakespeare comedies, the plot is pretty straight forward. Viola cross-dresses as "Cesario" and falls in love with Duke Orsino, who is smitten with Olivia, who is hot for "Cesario" but ends up marrying Viola's look-alike twin brother, Sebastian. Meanwhile, Toby and Andrew party like their parents are out of town for the weekend and they're home alone, where they bully the annoying tattletale Malvolio, until he cries and says he's going to get back at them some day.
If you can follow the dramatic love triangles that unfold every day at your school, you can read Twelfth Night. Seriously. You should start reading now.

Andrew Wiles to move to Oxford as Royal Society Professor in 2011
Sir Andrew Wiles will be joining the Mathematical Instiute as a Royal Society 2010 Anniversary Research Professor.
Sir Andrew Wiles specialises in number theory and became famous for proving Fermat's Last Theorem. The Theorem was first conjectured in 1637 but all attempts to solve it failed until Sir Andrew Wiles published his general proof in 1995 to international acclaim. His achievement was popularised in Simon Singh's book Fermat's Last Theorem and BBC Two's Horizon. He will be moving from Princeton University to take up his new Royal Society Professorship at Oxford's Mathematical Institute and Merton College in 2011.

This is something my guild on Medivh did multiple times many, many years ago, first time back in the first year of release. We had an 60 Human Warrior (was the cap) versus n00b Tauren attacking him. We also did it other times letting our Horde side fight n00b Gnomes. We would make n00b guilds with funny names and have great fun with this. So Strength in Honor (Honour on Alliance) was doing this back when we were the WorldofWarNet guild. And this gets newsed as something new? We did it years ago.

The Boston Bruins have now lost two of their last three games following tonight's loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning, 5-3. It was the Lightning's first win of 2012, as they had been on a seven-game losing streak. Here are my five observations…
Number Five: Daniel Paille
Daniel Paille had three break aways in this game and scored on one. Paille, who is kind of known for not scoring on his break away chances, had one of his best games in a while. He was there on defense, and had many scoring chances.
Number Four- Tim Thomas
Is it Tuukka Time? Thomas has played in the last two Bruins losses, and in the loss to Carolina on Saturday he allowed the game winning goal with 1:45 left in the game. Tonight he let the Lightning score with 3:45 left. Thursday night in Newark, we are likely to see Rask in net.
Number Three- Nathan Horton
Horton was called out by head coach Claude Julien, who said that Horton had to play better and put out a better effort. It seemed to have worked tonight. Horton scored two goals in the game. He is known for being streaky, so maybe this is just want he needed.
Number Two- Low Scoring
The Bruins have not scored more than three goals since Thursday. They scored three against Montreal, two against Carolina, three against Florida (four of you count the shootout goals) and three tonight. Is the Bruins low scoring a concern? I don't think so, lulls happen throughout a season and the Bruins were due.
Number One- Mini Slump?
The Bruins have lost two of their last three, and four of their last ten. While some people may be ready to panic, I'm not. Thomas may need a break and that might be about it. They have scored five or six goals a lot this season, it's not too surprising that they go into a *little* slump, and it is not too much to worry about when they are a +69 in the league.
The Bruins return on Thursday against the Devils.

Thanks for sharing with us your keen (as usual) insights. I agree that we have to take this on one person at a time. Even if folks are not convinced to see things m y way, at least I will know that we have done our best to present appropriate information, and access to vetted additional info on the web or elsewhere. My major worry with all this is how trustworthy the average primary care provider is. I wish for all docs to be truthful, transparent and open to discussion. There is not ONE right way to accomplish anything in healthcare, although there are some "best practices" and certainly there are some very clear "wrong" ways. I just want to start a dialog with parents so that we can continue that, and they can have the information they need to make the best possible decisions on behalf of their infant or child.

Renton, WA (SportsNetwork.com) - Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Percy Harvin has been ruled out for Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the San Francisco 49ers due to a concussion.
Seattle head coach Pete Carroll confirmed the decision to sit the speedy wideout at a press conference on Friday, saying that Harvin "will not make it through the doctor's protocol and will not be able to go."
Harvin sustained the injury in the second quarter of Seattle's 23-15 wild-card win over New Orleans. He hit his head hard on the turf while attempting to make a touchdown catch and did not return.
It was only Harvin's second game since being acquired by Seattle from the Minnesota Vikings during the offseason. He underwent arthroscopic surgery in August and missed the Seahawks' first 10 contests before facing his former team on Nov. 17. Harvin was then held out for the remainder of the regular season after experiencing swelling and stiffness in his hip.
The fifth-year pro caught three passes for 21 yards prior to exiting Seattle's win over the Saints.
