Before & After: Percy Freshens Up the Powder Room
The "before" shot of this bathroom looks like the kind of room I've seen a million times. A plain old bathroom, nothing unusual, perhaps a little dated, and definitely boring. Oh, but this bathroom is anything but boring now…
See, what did I tell you? The "after" is anything but boring! When I saw the changes that Percy has been making to his home over on Design*Sponge I had a moment of design envy. How can one dude be so unbelievably creative? I mean, just look at the painted wall in that bathroom — so brilliant! I especially love the painted on (or is it chalk?) soap dish and toothbrushes. So cute!
After initially reading about Percy on Design*Sponge, I linked over to his own site and blog, Jersey Ice Cream Company. In addition to the gorgeous rehab of his home, Percy also resells vintage furniture. Browsing through the pieces, which are all beautifully photographed against the backdrop of his house, it's obvious that Percy has a great eye for quality pieces. I'm totally bookmarking his site so I can continue to check the progress of his home and business.

I don't like the chalkboard in the bathroom. I'm sorry! I would've preferred to see pretty wallpaper and an actual mirror. But I'm a chick, not a dude....
It is a totally creative and different idea and I love that sink.
Wow, I can't believe it's the same bathroom!
What do you use to wash your hands and check your teeth? While it's cute, it's not very functional as a powder room.
I agree with Cakowalik. It's adorable and I love the simple, sleek design but the lack of function (no storage? no mirror? no soap?) makes no sense to me. Also the wastebasket just doesn't fit with the ultra stylized chalk outlines and minimal sink.
When design isn't functional it cheapens the concept.
FYI: Percy commented on D*S and said the chalk-drawn mirror and soap were temporary - he's planning to replace them with the real things.
At first I though..what is wrong with the before? And then I seen the after..haha..I really love this.definitely an upgrade!I love the big window too.
I think I'm going to draw a sink and a toilet in my hall closet and call it a powder room.
I love it, so creative.
His house is so amazing, and I LOVE the stuff he finds and resells. He's got a great eye.
With the chalk outlines, it's fun but useless. Once he replaces the outline with the real thing, it's just a bathroom with a chalk wall. Why bother?
The only things wrong with the before were the sconces, lack of a light switch wall plate, and the color of the wall. The bead board wainscoting, the sink and fixtures, the mirror... all were perfect. Storage, style, a beautiful Christmas cactus...
The after has no storage, no counter space, the only things that I like about it are the sconces and the light switch wall plate.
I actually like the before a lot. The sink looks like a bureau with a sink top and bowl mounted on it, and I like that look. The after has a clean look, but it's absolutely impractical. It's kind of useless, unless you want to virtually wash your hands and brush your teeth.
Wait... did I spy a pair of gold-tone giraffe (or perhaps dragon? horse head?) sconces in the before photo? Those things are wackadoo enough to qualify as cool. Especially with a spray-paint overhaul. The after photo is lovely, of course - fresh, clean, composed and wonderful. But golden giraffe wall sconces!!! We'll see them in next season's Anthropologie catalog, I'm sure.
The chalk wall gives you options. See advertising photo here with a different chalk 'soap'. http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5170/5296784291_7ea741a625_b.jpg
You can draw on the soap container behind the real one and when you pick it up the real one you then see the outline. That's cute.
I love it! That before was horrid and this is a fun powder room for guests to enjoy and decorate when they visit. Like many other commenters have said, the hand-drawn mirror is temporary so when he fills that space, it'll be perfect! So much better than the 80s bronze sconces and that awful red (why are people still matching that ugly red with wood pieces?).
I know it's terribly impractical, if not totally temporary, but I love it!
It's funny & clever - I suspect he's worked out that washing hands with a chalk-drawn soap wont work as well...
& he could change the mirror & pattern of the paper at a zillionth of the price of regular renovations - lighten up
Can I have the old vanity?
Whip smart! Love it!!!
The first word out of my mouth when I jumped to the after picture...Interesting. And that is what it is...interesting. I like the choice in sink and the white against the black. The outline of the mirror...interesting.
Didn't see the drawing of the toothbrush holder and the soap dish. Hmmm...INTERESTING!
Well the only thing wrong with the before photo was the lighting. the red with the warm wood was nice. The after is pretty to look at but since there is not mirror it is not practial. Once you put a mirror in, you won't have the cool drawing of the mirror. I hope it is a cool mirror and not just a rectangle pasted to the wall. I am not as impressed as I know I ought to be.
Okay so feeling guilty about my review so I went to Design Sponge and looked at the two bedroom makeovers that you did and they were both amazing. Good work!
I think it looks great. I love the ceiling and the updated light fixtures. I would go insane without the storage though.
This is too meta for me.
Would have painted and got new sconces. The old mirror could have stayed until he could afford a new one. A bathroom with no mirror is stupid, to me, and half unusable. That old mirror would have been fine in the meantime, its the red that's the problem.
Would not have scrapped the storage of the vanity for that new sink. It's all right but I think I would have just changed out the vanity's hardware and maybe painted it, and kept the storage.
In short, that's a lot of making a space useless to just get rid of the red.
You just cannot be serious with this one.
I just got an estimate on a bathroom redo. I'm tempted to just draw on some new fixtures as a coping mechanism.
Must have those sconces (the replacement ones). Anyone know where to find them?
I think it's great! - It's not my personal taste, but it shows freedom of creativity and a sense of fun!
If you don't like this mauishopgirl, don't do this in your house. No need for the vinegar.
I absolutely love this! Whimsical ánd classy!
Ok, so all you have to do now is to find a place where you can brush your teeth....
Is the brush going to be drawn too?
Also, it seems some people do not understand that when you take a picture, you frame and crop the image. There may well be storage outside the frame.
This is so lovely and the "new" antique sink is a dream.
I like the chalk wall and sconces, but that's about it. The 'before' isn't my style at all, but much more practical in terms of function. Even with a mirror eventually added, it's given up a lot of storage. And granted as a girl, I need bathroom storage so I notice that right away, but even for a guest room I'd think you'd want a place to stash some toiletries, towels, cleaning supplies, etc.
@Sooso: stop getting on comment sections if you find it offensive that anyone, anywhere has something critical to say. jesus she didn't even come close to what others have said.
anyway, i'll take that beautiful repurposed marble top vanity he didn't want. i'm not a fan of this, but it IS creative and i can appreciate that aspect.
it's so fun!
where can i get a small sink like that? it's so lovely...i am doing a bathroom renovation soon and i'd love to have that sink my small powder room.
I just hate chalkboard paint anywhere.
It reminds me of the nun who wouldn't let me do any work on the blackboard because I'm left-handed and it really annoyed her. (No kiddin' --she thought I was Satan's kid or something because of it.)
So little time...so many issues...
This is very, very silly.
I think the mirror concept would be great if the chalk outline was the frame for a frameless mirror - so there was a mirrow there, but the frame was drawn around it. Maybe he'll go for that idea once he gets a mirror!
I'd also need more storage space, but maybe he has storage somewhere else in the bathroom.
More vinegar? Must be the heat, I forgive you.
And I forgive you.
Looks great!
It may be a work of art, and it is striking, but I prefer a powder room with a mirror, and I rather not see the plumbing.
This will be nice once he gets the mirror in, but I kind of miss the wainscoting.
did the pictures get reversed? those little white sinks are everywhere in nyc, often in dumpsters (tho' they are nice, esp w/ nickel-plated legs). many would call that chest, w/ marble! an upgrade from chipboard storage usually replacing the white sinks. the style of the home should inform the rehab; too new in a victorian is as awful as too cute in a ranch. if that clawfoot is a hint, should have stuck w/ paint changes.
otoh, 1915 house would be transition pd for bath: clawfoot tub & ceramic sinks w/out storage, often large pedestal. wainscoting would be light tile to be "sanitary." the correct period is between the pics.
If there were a way to get a mirror custom cut to fit inside the drawn mirror that would be kinda cool.
Please re-post when the mirror is installed.
I prefer the "before" by far.
Sans the sconces
Percy here!
Somehow missed this post until now, so I'm not even sure if anyone will see this. Anyway, thanks so much for all the positive comments! The sconces are actually just cheapies from Lowe's or Home Depot, but I really like the classic feel of them.
To all the detractors, allow me to address some of your concerns. I have no intention of putting in a real mirror. There already is one to the right, out of view, resting on a four-foot tall pie safe for more-than-ample storage.
The vanity and wainscoting had to go. Not only was the vanity not my style, it was a poorly done DIY conversion with water damage. The wainscoting suffered a similar fate. The previous owner had no fan in the bathroom, so condensation had been getting behind the wainscoting for years and rotting out the plaster behind it. I had to build the plaster back up with mortar and then subway tiled the three non-pictured walls.
Seriously, where's the real 'after' photo??
oh my gah, that is cute!
FWIW, I thought the before was really awful. Kind of like 90s MIL look.
The old vanity was gorgeous. The new sink looks like it belongs in a hospital or nursing home.
Sorry, just saw the post about the water damage.

DIY Brass-Look Tabletop Sculpture
Fabric Paper Glue
I'm having a little love affair with small tabletop sculptures, especially Kelly Wearstler-style brass abstracts in geometric shapes. But I'm not running out to buy one any time soon, so this DIY version is especially exciting.
For this project, Mandy used wooden skewers, craft dowels, a drill, some gold spray paint, and a wooden block.

Love this project!! It looks easy enough and you could take the the same concept and do lots of funky stuff. Maybe a funky basket or a really sweet pendant light. :)
Thanks so much for linking to my project! I'm so glad you liked it. I too love all those sculptures but couldn't justify shelling out the cash for one.
Very nice!
Love it! This is definitely "the whole is (way) better than the sum of its parts". I'm not sure this even hits the $10 mark.

What boob size is considered big, average, and small? Says it all. A cup, B cup ,C cup etc!
What's Your Opinion?
Most Helpful Opinion
I would say B & C are average. D and bigger I obviously consider big lol. The girl I have a huge crush on at my work has small boobs, I'm guessing A cup and it doesn't really matter to me. Size isn't the most important thing to me. I still like to feel them and suck on them and still enjoy it no matter the size.
What Guys Said 4
AA = Very small
A= Small
B = Medium
C = Big
D= Very big
E = Woah!
Should probably say the above is based on my preference for small boobs on slim/athletic girls.
A-You have no boobsB-SmallC-AverageBeyond C-Big
I'd say C, but I'm not exactly an expert on boobs. A gynecologist probably knows.
What Girls Said 2
A smallB okC niceD bigDD hugeDD+ bam!
AA is nonexistent. A is small. B can be either small or average depending on your body shape and stuff. C is for the most part normal though also depending on your build it can be pretty big. D is decent sized/big. From there it starts getting really big to huge.

So on the last night of the 2010 Newgrounds Tank Awards me and chris O'Neill were doodling and I got this idea for some short cartoon to do while we were there and record the lines in the recording booth at the NG office. What started out as a stupid gag, turned into a pretty big cast list and lots of dialog. We pulled an all nighter and got this done. Now, due to the heavy talking in this short, it took me quite a bit to finish.
But thanks to the help of Chris O'Neill and Zach Hadel it's finally done. And I'm glad it is. It's not much, but it was fun making it.
p.s. I'll coauthor everyone else who participated once they become my portal buddies

TITUSVILLE -- As an engineer, Tuan Le understands why things work.
"I want to know why something works the way that it does," he said. "I don't want to just temporarily fix it, I want to understand the entire process."
It is with his scientific mind that Mr. Le has transferred his interest to an area that also surprises him: cooking.
"Cooking is a hobby of mine," he said. "When I married my wife, (Chung Nguyen), she said she hoped to open a restaurant someday because she knew that I can cook. This is making my wife's dream come true, as well as exploring my hobby."
Since May, VietRiver has offered truly authentic Vietnamese cuisine to the city of Titusville, something Mr. Le said he understands from his life growing up in Vietnam.
"I was raised in a poor family," he said. "I would cook for my family when my parents were working, so I had to learn how to cook."
It was by cooking his entire life that Mr. Le learned how to prepare authentic Vietnamese food, something he said that a lot of people may be unfamiliar with.
"Before the Vietnam war was over, a lot of people knew how to cook traditionally, but, when it ended, ingredients became expensive, and people began to take shortcuts," he said. "Next generations didn't know how to cook."
To cook authentic Vietnamese cuisine, Mr. Le uses his scientific background to fully understand "why things work," including making sure each temperature is set correctly and each dish has the right amount of spices added for the perfect flavor.
"If something sits for too long, or it becomes too salty, I won't serve it," he said. "I only want to serve top-quality dishes."
Now, after years of taking care of his younger siblings, Mr. Le's family have all pitched in to help make VietRiver a success, including his mother, who most of his recipes originated from.
"Everything is good here," he said. "It's hard to say what doesn't do well because everything sells very well. I always want to keep my menu fresh, but it is hard to see where (there is a weakness)."
Also, the food isn't the only spectacular component of VietRiver, as the inside dining area is decorated stylistically French, to both honor the French culture that affects Vietnam and to create a cultured experience for diners.
"People travel everywhere in the world," Mr. Le said. "I want to be the first person to cook authentic food with an environment. It is up to you to decide what is a quality dining experience and what is a cheap experience. I hope what I am doing can carry on to the next level to create more (quality) dining experiences."
VietRiver is located at 1817 S. Washington Ave. in Titusville and is open Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Saturday from noon to 9:30 p.m.

Dana and Hal were married in February, if you can believe it. For one glorious weekend, this oppressive winter we've been having lifted and granted them the most ridiculously beautiful day one could possibly hope for a DC winter wedding. The Josephine Butler Parks Center was a classy, bright yellow backdrop to their laughter-filled ceremony and rollicking reception. Meigh with Lula Mae did a great job putting it all together.
We started the day at Meridian Manor Bed and Breakfast, an incredibly charming old house just a couple blocks down from the JBPC. Dana's tiny friends devoured the strawberries provided by Alison Harper & Co. (It's so cute that they do that!)
I have to tell you, this mirror was making me so happy.
All prettied up, we got Dana over to the Josephine Butler Parks Center for a "first look" with Hal on the mansion's balcony.

bar clamps vs. pipe clamps
Can any one please explain the advantages/disadvantages of bar clamps vs. pipe clamps? I need to glue up panels ranging in size from 13"x13" to 13"x40", 3/4" stock. Which type of clamp is better for this application, and why? Also, where is a good place to buy clamps on-line? Thanks in advance for your help.

RE: bar clamps vs. pipe clamps
IMHO, the pipe clamps are a little easier to use because you can set them on your assembly table because the stock can sit directly on the pipe. bar clamps can be used, they just take a couple extra hands and minutes to get configured. i am assuming that you mean regular bar clamps, and not parallel (k-body) bar clamps- which are probably hands-down the best for panels. (just the cost that really hurts)
also, pipe clamps should cost a little less for larger sizes. BUT, the angle that the clamp faces have can cant your panels (make them cup). if you use cauls and lighter clamping prssure, you should be able to alleviate that.
in short, they both work, but pipe clamps are a little easier with some help (cauls, auxilary clamp pads).
happy gluing.

RE: bar clamps vs. pipe clamps
John's right K-body clamps are the best. They apply pressure direct on line to the center of the wood. I don't own any because i have never wanted to spend the bucks on them.
Bar clamps are next best but they are a bit less flexable than pipe clamps. I don't find them any harder to use. But you buy a bar clamp at a give length.
Pipe clamps have two advantages, they are cheap, the length is determined by the pipe you buy. So if you want a 12 ft clamp then buy 12 ft pipe.
if you use pipe then you need to alternate clamps top and bottom to keep the panel in line. Dauls is also a very very good idea.

RE: bar clamps vs. pipe clamps
I've got both bar clamps and pipe clamps. The bar clamps are much more expensive and (GOOD) ones are more rigid than pipe clamps. The biggest advantage to pipe clamps is the super-variable length. You buy a set of pipe clamp heads and you can make up a set of clamps ranging in length from 3" to 20' - or LONGER - depending upon your needs. I've got a pretty good stock of pipes now for mine, so I just change out to whatever length pipe makes for the clamp job I need. My longest pair is 8' long. I just never ran into a need for longer ones yet.
If you go with pipe clamps, go with 3/4" instead of 1/2". The half-inch pipe is much more flexible than is the three-quarters, and that can be an issue sometimes.
For bar clamps, my "faves" are the QuickGrip clamps from ViseGrip. I've got a pretty fair variety, bought as need dictated. They're fast, they're convenient, they're lightweight, they're strong. I don't think I can ever quite justify shelling out for Bessey K=bodies, so I can always lust after 'em in the store. :)

RE: bar clamps vs. pipe clamps
Here's a source:
I use medium duty racheting bar clamps on the edges of panels, spacing them about half again as far apart as the boards are wide. I caul them ( is it OK to verb that word?) with wax paper, 2x4s on end, and 12" medium duty racheting bar clamps. Works for me.

Seward Family Archive Project gets funding
December 20, 2013
The Emerson Foundation has awarded the University of Rochester a three-year $360,000 grant toward the Seward Family Archive project, a collaboration between Thomas Slaughter, the Arthur R. Miller Professor and Professor of History, and the River Campus Libraries, including Mary Ann Mavrinac, Vice Provost and Andrew H. and Janet Dayton Neilly Dean of the River Campus Libraries; Nora Dimmock, Director, Digital Humanities Center; and Jim Kuhn, Joseph N. Lambert and Harold B. Schleifer Director of Rare Books, Special Collections and Preservation.
The project focuses on the creation of an accessible digital documentary archive for the Seward Family Papers, which are a subset of the William Henry Seward Collection, one of our most valuable collections. (William Henry Seward was Secretary of State for Presidents Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Johnson.) This project will significantly advance the organization, digitization, and website development of the Seward Family Papers, and will support the training of graduate and undergraduate students in various digital media techniques.

Where You've Seen Her: As a veteran of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition, Brooklyn made her first cover in 2010, causing you to drop whatever you were doing and drool incessantly while stuck in place. Now this blonde-haired, blue-eyed beach babe is making her transition into the acting world with her big-screen debut in the latest Adam Sandler flick, Just Go With It. That's the one where he tries to get her attention by borrowing Jennifer Aniston's children. And hey, if that's what it takes, we suggest you get to work on the baby-making, because this bikini goddess is worth the effort. And the dirty diapers.
What Gives Her That Sexy Feeling: "Being in the sun, no make-up, working out and trying to keep up with my guy, and when someone compliments me on my intelligence. People set the bar pretty low for us models when it comes to smarts. It's sad but true, so it's always a nice feeling when you surprise someone by actually carrying on a conversation." –Sports Illustrated

Agreed with PeeWee. I've had to add and remove my authenticator several times over the past week, and each time my account had that "Authenticator?" variable checked on or off my characters received a new Core Hound. Tying a vendor action to a larger account statistic doesn't seem like it would be terribly difficult to accomplish, even if it means reprogramming the heirloom vendors a bit.

CNN — This is probably no surprise but the "hot convict" has apparently landed a modeling contract and he's not even out of jail yet.
Jeremy Meeks is currently being held on a million dollar bond after his arrest on seven felony charges including "street terrorism."
The Huffington Post reported that Meeks has scored a modeling contract with Blaze Modelz. The 30-year-old inmate shot to fame last month when his mug shot was posted on Facebook.

7/26 UPDATE: The Riverside County Board of Supervisors today postponed a discussion on Chairman Bob Buster's request for a study on how to improve the county's emergency dispatch service using the latest technology.
With a full agenda, Buster decided to pull the proposal, which will come up for consideration again on Aug. 16.
ORIGINAL POST: Riverside County Supervisor Bob Buster next week will ask fellow board members to support a proposal for computerizing 911 functions in the county to save time in emergencies and cut down on diverting resources to "band-aid'' calls.
During the Board of Supervisors' meeting Tuesday, Buster, who represents Lake Elsinore and Wildomar in the 1st District, plans to seek approval for a study on how to revamp the county's dispatch system so that it ends duplicative functions by implementing "state of-the-art'' technology.
In a two-page brief, Buster noted that about 80 percent of the county's 911 calls are medical-related, but "many of those calls stem from non-emergency and non-life-threatening incidents.''
The supervisor explained that the current protocol for answering a request for medical aid is to deploy a fire engine with two firefighters and a paramedic -- responding with lights and siren -- along with an ambulance staffed by two emergency medical technicians, rolling code three.
"Responding with a full array of assets with red lights and siren to every medical aid call -- many of which first-responders call `band-aid calls' -- takes emergency response units out of service unnecessarily and contributes to increased response times in (true) life-threatening emergencies when units farther away must be dispatched,'' Buster wrote.
He said that currently all 911 calls, regardless of their nature, go through the sheriff's department, and a sheriff's dispatcher decides where to route the call, creating a delay.
A fire department dispatcher then deploys a crew and broadcasts via radio an alert to the county's ambulance service, American Medical Response.
Buster complained that the system was "outmoded'' and needed to be modernized using Computer-Aided Dispatch.
"An integrated CAD system utilizing Medical Priority Dispatch System protocols would allow emergency medical service providers to immediately identify the nature of the emergency and share automated data concerning the location of the caller, thus decreasing ambulance dispatch and response times,'' the supervisor said.
He pointed out that similar systems are in place in the cities of Corona, Riverside and San Bernardino, where dispatchers are trained to ascertain callers' needs and respond appropriately, providing limited medical advice over the phone until first-responders arrive, "resulting in saved lives and improved patient outcomes.''
He said the process also prevents a needless deployment of emergency equipment and personnel. --City News Service

After 15 Years, New Fall Protection Code Offers More Tools and Resources for Employers Aimed at Protecting Workers
Des Plaines, IL (June 6, 2007) — Recognizing the need to offer more tools and resources for employers to protect workers from fall hazards, which are one of the top four causes of on-the-job fatalities, the American Society of Safety Engineers (ASSE) recently announced approval of the new Z359 Fall Arrest Code, which is a new series of American National Standard Institute (ANSI)/ASSE fall protection/arrest standards. They are ANSI/ASSE Z359.0-2007, Definitions and Nomenclature Used for Fall Protection and Fall Arrest; ANSI/ASSE Z359.1-2007, Safety Requirements for Personal Fall Arrest Systems, Subsystems and Components; ANSI/ASSE Z359.2-2007, Minimum Requirements for a Comprehensive Managed Fall Protection Program ANSI/ASSE Z359.3-2007, Safety Requirements for Positioning and Travel Restraint Systems; and ANSI/ASSE Z359.4-2007, Safety Requirements for Assisted-Rescue and Self-Rescue Systems, Subsystems and Components.
These standards offer employers tools and resources on how to prevent fall related injuries and deaths especially when, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, in 2005 non-fatal injuries and illnesses involving falls in the private industry totaled 255,750 and fatal-work related injuries due to falls in the private industry amounted to 735 deaths.
"The committee is very excited about the approval of the standards making-up the first portion of our Z359 Fall Arrest Code," said Z359 ASC Chair Randall Wingfield. "There has been little change to the Z359 consensus standard in the last 15 years, even though falls are still one of the top four causes of on-the-job fatalities. These new standards mean the Z359 no longer applies only to manufacturers; they are a comprehensive resource for anyone with workers at height."
ASSE serves as the secretariat for the Z359 Accredited Standards Committee (ASC) on fall protection and related systems. The Z359 family of standards will be available soon in both print and electronic format. For more information, contact ASSE Customer Service at 847-699-2929 or visit ASSE's website.
Founded in 1911, the Des Plaines, IL-based ASSE is the largest and oldest professional safety organization and is committed to protecting people, property and the environment. Its more than 30,000 occupational safety, health and environmental professional members manage, supervise, research and consult on safety, health, transportation and environmental issues in all industries, government, labor and education.

Fact is, it's nearly your three month anniversary with her now so I've more than accepted the fact that (going off your word that you haven't slept with her yet) that your going to make love with her any day now.
It doesn't even phase me, doesn't make me upset like the first two months. I'm over it.
I've came to realise that I'm strong enough now to walk away and I could do it and stick to it.
I'm happy for you, straight up. I don't like that you downgraded, you know I'm truthful and wouldn't say it if it wasn't true - but seriously she's a downgrade.
But each to their own.

Source: Wisconsin DBA news release
Dairy producers want tools that will limit risk, that are easy to navigate, and which are not tied to supply management.
That was the message today from Dr. Eric Erba, chief strategy officer at California Dairies, Inc. (CDI), the nation's second largest dairy cooperative.
Speaking at a briefing in Green Bay , Wis., Erba was joined by Dr. Mark Stephenson, Director of Dairy Policy Analysis at the University of Wisconsin's College of Agricultural and Life Sciences; dairy farmer and Wisconsin DBA vice president John Pagel of Pagel's Ponderosa Dairy in Kewaunee; and nearly 50 House and Ag Committee staffers.
Rep. Tom Petri (R-Wis.), Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) and Rep. Ron Kind (D-Wis.), members of the U.S. House of Representatives Dairy Farmers Caucus, sponsored today's briefing which was offered to present an alternative view point to that presented at a session last week on the Dairy Security Act.
The conversation centered on the Dairy Market Stabilization Program, a controversial new dairy program designed to periodically limit milk production that is included in the Dairy Security Act, part of the House Agriculture Committee's version of the Farm Bill.
Dr. Stephenson's presentation "Dairy Options for the Farm Bill" called attention to the "Unintended Consequences" of the Dairy Market Stabilization Program, including the speed at which circumstances change in the dairy industry, and the fact that the current drought situation has moved the dairy industry into concern about not having enough milk.
"If the stabilization program were law, the supply management program would be in effect now and would be reducing already lower milk production by 4%," Stephenson noted.
"The 4% deduction has a huge impact on our bottom line," said Pagel. "That 4% can pay a lot of bills or cover my interest at the bank."
"Supply management has been tried before, and did not work at all" Erba said. "Good intentions, but horrific results."
Stephenson offered his opinion on the bipartisan amendment offered by Reps. Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) and David Scott (D-Ga.) that would remove the program and offer a stand-alone Margin Insurance Program similar, but not identical, to the margin insurance portion of the Senate farm bill, noting that it would have a moderating effect on price volatility, without affecting markets too much.

Brief Description:
Holy Cooperation is an examination of what the Bible says about social organizing, and an exploration of some of the many cooperative ways that Christians have worked together in the last two thousand or so years. This same style of organizing can also be found in the modern cooperative movement, which is made up of thousands of democratically controlled businesses serving millions of members worldwide. Nearly half of all Americans at some point in their day to day lives shop or receive services from a coop, and in the current financial state of the world it is an obvious alternative model to the current destructive system.

Breach of Real Estate Contract
Locate a Local Real Estate Lawyer
What's a Breach of Real Estate Contract?
A breach of real estate contract may occur when the terms and conditions of a real estate contract are not followed. Real estate contracts can cover many different real estate issues, but they usually deal with the sales transaction for residential property. They can also cover:
- Commercial property usage and rental
- Landlord/tenant rental agreements
- Leases and subleases
- Construction of residential developments
- Agreements regarding land usage and boundaries
Contracts for the sale of real estate need to be in writing in order to be valid. However, it's a good idea for any type of real estate contract to be in writing, so that the parties have a record of the transaction in the event of a breach.
What are Some Ways that a Breach of Real Estate Contract Can Occur?
A breach of real estate contract can occur in many different ways. Some common forms of breach of a real estate contract may include:
- Failing to pay on time
- Failure to deliver the deed to the property in the correct way
- Unauthorized sub-leasing of the property
- Contesting a real estate contract penalty clause
- Issues with implied warranty in a contract (such as habitability)
A breach of contract can happen on either side of the agreement. For instance, the seller may be liable for breach if they deliver a defective title. Or, the buyer may be in breach if they don't supply their payment on the promised date.
Are There Any Legal Remedies for a Breach of Real Estate Contract?
Remedies for a breach of a real estate contract will depend on the nature of the breach. In most instances, a damages award will be sufficient to cover the losses caused by the breach. For instance, a damages award might be required from the buyer to ensure that the seller receives missed payment amounts. In other cases, a different remedy might be needed, such as requiring the seller to deliver the deed to the purchaser.
Do I Need a Lawyer if I'm Involved in a Breach of Real Estate Contract Case?
Breaches of real estate contracts can sometimes lead to significant losses for either party. You may need to hire a lawyer if you need assistance filing a claim for a breach of real estate contract. Your attorney can provide you with the legal expertise and guidance that is needed to protect your interests. Also, your lawyer can represent you during court proceedings and other meetings.

Hello! My name is Qistina (that is pronounced as "kiss-tina"), I'm from SINGAPORE! (No, it's not in China, in case you don't know your world geography. It's in Southeast Asia, right below Malaysia. Google it if you have to.) My gamertag is QISTINAftw and I really really enjoy playing Halo 4. I think that's the only game I play. I do play Call Of Duty: Black Ops 2 but my brother misplaced the game and now I'm stuck ranking up on Halo 4. I play a lot Team SWAT and the occasional Team Slayer. I might be getting COD: Ghosts soon by the way, I'm not really sure. I also play Gears of War sometimes. :)
Besides gaming, I do graphic design in school. I also sing a lot (expect that if I'm in a party with you and my mic is working perfectly fine) and I play sometimes play paintball when I have the time, money and company. I'm a very nice person but I also curse and swear (too much for a girl) when I'm gaming.

With graduation season in full swing, I extend my congratulations to the graduates, and also to the parents who helped them to get there. Steve Jobs' 2005 Commencement address at Stanford is still a classic and offers a perspective on life from one of the most prolific innovators of this century. If you have never seen this talk, enjoy. I have watched it a few times over the years and never tire of it.

"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life.
Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking.
Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice.
And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.
They somehow already know what you truly want to become.
Everything else is secondary."
-Thanks, Steve (and Rob)!
I find inspiration every time I watch this.

In the Land of the Blind the one-eyed man is King
November 05, 13
In Epik's 2011 Outlook, we said to expect inflation this year. Well, that did not take long. The headlines these days are full of news of inflation — specifically inflation in the things you need (food, fuel, clothing) and deflation in the things you don't (a larger house or a new boat). To date, this inflation hit has mostly been observed in producer prices but not in consumer prices. That could well change soon, particularly once excess inventories are liquidated.
In the meantime:
You may not care about the money supply, and may well not know your M1, M2 and M3. Now would be a good time to get up to speed — before the velocity of money returns to trend. It is also a good time to diversify into assets that have finite supply and that have global appeal. Personally, I like premium domain names as an asset class for reasons discussed prior.
The Chinese need to eat too — and with $2.65 Trillion in ForEx reserves they can afford to!
The big macroeconomic development to watch in the coming months is Chinese food inflation. Month over month, the official number is that it is running a TRIPLE DIGIT annualized growth rate. I have an ongoing Skype dialog with a business partner in Fuzhou, China, who has confirmed that rapidly increasing food prices in late 2010 is now accelerating in 2011. Due to ongoing drought, China's domestic harvest could take a large hit in 2011. However, keep in mind that China also has the world's largest foreign exchange reserves, now above $2.65 Trillion. In other words, in a global market with free trade, their government should be able to import what they need from willing exporters. Interesting to note though that Russia has banned grained exports in the wake of their own failed harvest.
I goes to follow then that China is the X-Factor in global pricing of food — they would have the greatest need and also the greatest capacity to pay for it. Although drought conditions are not new in China, 2011 is looking particularly severe. This is the first time that I can recall when the world's most populous nation can also afford to outbid the world's wealthiest nations for a good that is classically price inelastic.
Guess who has the largest supply of exportable grain?
As you can see in the below info-graphic, far and away the US is the leading exporters of food.
At a time when food will be much more expensive, let's see if the US crop holds up. It just might, and almost certainly on a relative basis. The (geopolitical) implications are significant as there is mounting evidence that instability in places like Egypt have their origin in rising food prices. Said another way, a government would spend as much as needed to maintain control of its population. With 43 million Americans on food stamps at a time of record budget deficits, the writing is on the wall that more debasement of the currency can be expected as the global trends towards income equality and wealth concentration continues. Hedge accordingly.Tweet

I recall after hurricanes Katrina & Wilma a few years ago that the power was out for days – no AC in South Florida heat, no internet access, no lights even at night (except for lanterns & flashlights), no TV, no stove or microwave to cook, just a radio & the opportunity to brush up on some reading (couldn't even go to the gym). And since so many trees were knocked down, for a day or two one couldn't really leave my complex via auto. Because many gas stations didn't have power, they couldn't pump gas and thus the few whose power was restored more quickly (or had backup power) had long lines. It was chaotic!
Now multiply that times a factor of X if a major currency were to be davalued as has occurred in several emerging market countries over the last few decades.

"I don't want to sound excessively Malthusian but for the first time in my life, I am sensing that there is a risk risk of widespread famine. "
You are correct, there is a land grab going on in various parts of the world to secure food stocks for unproductive countries with growing populations.
If you ad a few natural disasters or unusual weather patterns into the equation then things may get worse pretty quick.
That's why I said stock up on food, essentials and not gold, you can't eat gold
Times are a changing, whether we like it or not, all we can do is try and be prepared as best we can.
Hey, if nothing happens you get to eat all the food later anyway

Susan Boyle's Got Talent
Susan Boyle's show-stopping rendition of a "I Dreamed a Dream" from Les
Miz gave us chills. Don't believe us? It even melted Simon's heart!
What are the odds of a never been kissed 47-year-old woman who lives alone with her cats doing that??
See Also:
I'm sorry. Did I miss the memo that said if you want to have a gorgeous voice you should do a lot of kissing and stay away from cats?
Where do you people get your thought process from???
This is just the most appealing story I've heard in years. With 95% of the entertainment industry being so plastic, with fake everything, it's awe inspiring to hear such rare talent. I hope fame and the "expert stylists" don't ruin Susan.
I watched the video and I think Susan is fantastic. However do you actually "buy" the performance of Simon, the decorative blonde, and the other male judge? I mean really? There were two stunning performances…one from Susan (genuine) and one from the judge panel (TOTALLY contrived).
Suzanis given a chance.That's what matters. Television shows are not only for the eyes. They are entertainment biz and they must sell to cover their cost and make money too!!!!.Suzan is been viewed by the world.I believe this exposure will reward her long waiting chance to do what she love and i think she plays dump but she is not that stupid.
i wish her all the best.
I do wish with all my heart that Ms. Boyle reads this comment, though I know it won't happen. Ms Boyle is 48 and never been kissed, and I am not worthy to be the man that give her the first. In the 6 or so minutes that she spent on the stage in front of that Glasgow audience, Ms Boyle showed the world she could sing and showed me how shallow I have been my entire life.
How many others have I judged by their clothing, their grooming, or some other characteristic; and then I have stopped from looking any deeper? How soon will I do it again? I hope it is not soon.
Ms. Boyle will soon be in the middle of that maelstrom called show biz. I hope she finds success. I truly hope she finds contentment. And I hope she finds a man worthy of her to kiss her. But I am here to testify. I am not worthy. But I do thank her for showing me that. Another thing I learned from watching her performance is that it is never to late in a life for anything. Definitely not for Ms. Boyle; and maybe not for me.
Slan abhaile, Ms. Boyle.
She is so cute and she sings wellShe seems to have a nice profile on a single's club named **millionairechats.com**. She's attractive, popular there now.
I think she is the best thing to come out of a talent show since they started the shows. This is real, no skmipy outfit, or tons of make-up, no unreal life style, and the singing is out-of-this-world! Susan Boyle is a breath of fresh air. I have watched her video since it came out last month. I cry every time I watch it. Absolutely For Real!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1) All your friends start to have their 21st birthday before you but, you can go to the party because you are still 20.
2) Everyone still thinks you are a teenager.
3) College all around sucks but, add in that half your classmates are little babies. Freshmen are the worst.Not to mention most the people you follow on tumblr are in high school. FML.
4) You are in this awkward state of do I get a grown up job or should I still work at the mall??
5) If you are like me and didn't move out at 18, you still live with your folks. They love to say "You are 20. You are an adult now." like I have transformed from a caterpillar to a butterfly. No, bitch that never happened.
6) High school bastards love to ask for your advice because, you aren't a teenager anymore. Honestly unless you are my follower on tumblr you could go jump off a cliff lol….but, really.
7) Oh yeah, you still can't drink but, hahaha you are so close. I realize that but, I might as well be 12 years old bars still won't let me in past 10pm.
8) The awkward you are 20, you should start paying some of your bills…. so because, I got old you have to punish me with this shit because, why? I still barely make any money.
9) You are 20 so now you feel like 23 and 25 are approaching which means, babies and wedding bells. You want actual serious relationship. Boys still just want to fuck because, they aren't 21 yet. Dating older guys, they still give you this look because, they can't take you to the bar.
10) All you do is countdown the months, weeks, and days till your next birthday yet, you know in the back of your mind after that birthday none of them be special anymore. Or at least until it means your car insurance is lower. Fuck getting old. This blows.

Mold problem in basemeny
I have a big mold problem in my basement so i'm in the process of knocking down the drywalling (mold was on drywall). What should I do next? Spray bleech? Dehumidifier?
Thank you
Yes to all of the above, there may be better thing than beach but the important thing is to dry all wood to less than 20% moisture.
Have you found the cause of high moisture and what are you doing about it?
Was there wood framing between the drywall and brick? Is the brick showing moisture coming thru. If the ceiling is dry and does not have mold it should be alright.
Brick is sure not water proof at all.
90% of the problum needs to be addressed outside.
Working gutters with down spouts that lead far from the foundation.
No mulch piled up againt the foundation.
No flower beds forming ponds.
Grade running away from the foundation.
Brick water proofed on the outside below grade.
May even need a french drain.
Without doing these things you can plan on always having a moisture issue.
I prefer installing insulating screens on such molds which totally solves such problems. Moisture seeping inside the walls does not just give a stingy smell but also weakens the foundation. Thus, proper measures should be taken.
Mold weakening foundations...I think I have heard it all..but I learn new things everyday.:cool:

Green-Sauced Chicken Enchiladas
In this recipe we dry-sautéed the tortillas instead of frying them (the traditional method) and decreased the cheese. Be sure to use corn tortillas because flour tortillas will turn gummy. Make the Green Enchilada Sauce first. Enchiladas are typically very spicy, but we've made this dish in a milder form. If you want to kick up the heat, adapt to taste by adding jalapeños or serrano chiles to the enchilada sauce.
Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 2 enchiladas)

Having spent a fair bit of time there, I see many parallels between Ontario, Canada and California. One thing that's very different, though, is customer perception of smart meters. In Ontario, consumers are getting the hoped-for benefits of smart meters, and the utilities, including Toronto Hydro, are winning customer satisfaction awards. It's a success tale from which other utilities may wish to learn.
What's different at Toronto Hydro? A focus on delivering benefits to consumers.
For utilities rolling out smart meters, the sheer logistics of installing thousands of smart meters per day tends to capture the mind share of program managers. Instead, Toronto Hydro always views its program from the consumer's perspective. Toronto Hydro communicated simply and directly with customers prior to installations, letting them know what to expect. Toronto Hydro built a website where customers could view sample smart meter data and explore how they could save money on Time-of-Use rates with a simple bill comparison program.
Then, shortly after the meters were installed, Toronto Hydro provided access to consumers to their detailed, hourly usage information via simple graphics (see below for a current sample). After several months and additional reminders, TH placed all the residential customers on voluntary Time-of-Use rates (customers can opt out if they desire). Between the information feedback received on the website and the new prices, consumers see concrete, daily benefits from their smart meters.

"I've always been very careful not to describe myself as a role model because, like anyone in the world, I am human, and I fuck up and I make mistakes. I'd never want anyone to make the same mistakes that I've made. I'd never sit here and pretend to be a figure of morality because I'm absolutely not. What I do see myself as is a mascot for kids who feel weird or out of place.

Save money without sacrificing quality or piece of mind. We are constantly making large purchases of commercial ice machines and then pass the savings on to our customers.
All of our clearance ice machines are inspected and tested at our facility and prepared for individual sale. These ice makers are then put into different categories and prices accordingly. We have new ice machines, older models, scratch and dent and floor models available. All are working and carry a warranty to be working and free of defects. Some still carry the manufacturer warranty. You will typically find products from Manitowoc, Hoshizaki, Scotsman, Bluestone and Ice-O-Matic.Over the last seven years we have sold thousands of clearance and refurbished ice machines to very satisfied customers. The reason for our success is not only our prices, but also the quality of the machines we deliver to our customers. We are so confident in our products, that everything that leaves our facility comes with a warranty attached.The machines are in excellent working order and our prices cannot be beat.
Since they are clearance, they may contain scratches or slight dents, which are to be expected. For our residential ice machines and refrigerators, we also try to limit any noticeable marks to the sides of the machines and replace the fronts when possible so they can be built in without any noticeable marks or blemishes.
The bottom line is when you purchase from us,you will have a working machine delivered at a great price. We cannot always specify the physical condition upon the sale of each machine, but usually include actual images of the machines and try to list any major scratches or dents (if any). Our clearance machines are typically brand new older models, floor models or scratch and dent machines. Please also check out our refurbished ice machines, which can save you even more money. We have found that within a few weeks of owning a new machine, you cant tell the difference between any of our clearance machines or a new one except for the price tag. All machines come with a limited warranty, so you have nothing to fear about buying a clearance ice machine.
icemachineclearance.com has put together a reference guide for your use.
Please keep in mind that these are averages, but should be a pretty good starting point. Restaurants use 1.5 lbs. per customer or 5 lbs. per seat Hotels use 5 lbs per room Home use is 6oz per 12 oz. drink and 10 oz. per 20 oz drink Bars/Lounge use 3lbs. per customer.
