'Gym rat' Sharon Stone
Sharon Stone is obsessed with exercising and spends hours in the gym lifting weights and working on her core strength.
Sharon Stone is a self-confessed ''gym rat''.
The 55-year-old actress is addicted to exercise and likes nothing more than hitting the treadmill alongside ''regular'' people who aren't afraid to work up a sweat.
Speaking at the 'Lovelace' premiere in New York City, she told Access Hollywood: ''I'm a gym rat. I do all kinds of things. I just joined a regular gym and I like to go where people really work out, and I just get into it.
''I put my headphones on and I get lost in there. I like it.''
The 'Basic Instinct' star - who described herself as ''an athlete'' - says her favourite types of activities are weight lifting and abdominal exercises which test her core strength.
Sharon said: ''I think that one should do all exercises from the core; it's part of the breathing.
''I believe that we don't have to do all kinds of stuff, but that we should be able to lift our own body weight, get through small spaces. I think we should all be able to work with our own body.''
The blonde's admission about her love of exercise comes after she confessed to wanting to retain a natural look, repeatedly shunning offers of facelifts from surgeons in order to age gracefully.
Sharon said: ''Yes, I have come close [to having a facelift] - but frankly, I think that in the art of aging well there's this sexuality to having those imperfections. It's sensual.''

While growing up, I read everything I could. Mysteries, science fiction, fantasy, the back of the cereal box during breakfast, all of it was fair game.
Then I reached middle school, and someone suggested I try writing my own stories. So I did. Like a lot of newbie writers, I played around with fan-fiction, keeping it just for my friends and me. A wild idea came to me to try to write something original and get it published.
I tried on and off for many years. First, I tried short stories, then I moved on and wrote some shorter novels. Finally, I figured out how to hammer together a coherent plot that got up to the normal length for a novel.
Now I have a novel out through Under the Moon Publishing, a few self-published books for educators, and a serial published through JukePop Serials. A new novel now has a contract with Under the Moon Publishing, and I'm working with their parent company, Final Sword Productions, to make a role playing game related to Remnant in the Stars.
God has blessed my endeavors well.

Good to hear from you, Pete. See you in Chicago. Best wishes from all your friends in Iowa.
Oi to the pages down from 1,000 to 500: there isn't a bookstore on the planet (especially the independents) that would not have a listening audience wanting to hear the lost pages. Yarn away and enjoy every minute.
Sounds hectic otherwise, but delightful all the same. Wonderful performance at the Olympics (by the way!). I was thrilled and dancing around and my newest dog was jumping around, too.

Albany -- The Dougherty County District Attorney's Office launches a new effort to find a hit and run killer.
Investigators are hanging posters around the area offering a six thousand dollar reward in the deadly case from a year and a half ago. The D.A.'s office will put up these posters in several counties around Albany looking for the killer of 57-year-old Ginny Crisler.
The Albany mother of three was struck by a car while Christmas Shopping. A speeding white Chevrolet Lumina hit her, and sped away as she walked across the parking lot at the Hunter's Mill Plaza on Dawson Road.
A nearby surveillance camera took these pictures of the car as it drove away. The posters show the surveillance picture, and a better example of the car type they are seeking.
"The family and other private persons have been interested in this case as well, and they are putting up the money for the reward," said Greg Edwards, Chief Asst. D.A.
Investigators say the car in question is 1995 to 1999 Chevrolet Lumina. If you have any information, contact the Dougherty County District Attorney office at 431-3221. They promise it's worth six thousand dollars.

I want to load page content from another page into another page, by using the site tree dropdown. I have everything in place, but I am not sure how to add the code to grab the page...
This works

<% control Title %>$XML<% end_control %>

<% control Page(disclaimer) %>$Content<% end_control %>

This does not

<% control Title %>$XML<% end_control %>

<% control Page(MyDataFieldName) %>$Content<% end_control %>

My page code... All seems to do well.
$fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Content.Main', new TreeDropdownField('DuplicateContentPage', 'Select Page:', 'SiteTree', 'URLSegment', 'MenuTitle'));
In the databse, the value is 0 (zero), and I need it to be the page name - like home, or special-footer
Thank you

You can't pass variables into statements (like foo($Bar)) which is what you're doing. Instead what you should be doing is having a relationship between the pages then you can go <% control ThatOtherPageThisRelatesTo %>$Content<% end_control %>

Okay, I've tried for a week. I am sure I am missing something small. On my homepage I have a little section where special information can be pulled into display. On pages other than the homepage I put in a couple of sidebar sections that can be edited in the CMS then just pulled into the page. But trying to build this similar idea for the homepage I am missing something. I created every thing the same as I did for my sidebar sections, did a dev build, in the CMS I see I can put the page type of homespecial. I built a page and put content in it. But the content from the CMS will not display. I know the section is there because I can see the
...</di> for the homepage.ss file. In homepage.ss I have
<% control HomeSpecial %>
<% end_control %>
So, what am I missing.

Whether it makes a difference that Barack Obama once was a smoker (and may be struggling to keep a nonsmoking status) may depend on whether or not you smoke.
Whether it makes a difference that he's working to quit his addictive habit may depend on whether or not you've quit.
Whether this is a campaign issue may depend on your party affiliation, whether a loved one died of lung cancer, or whether you regard the White House as a petri dish for popular culture or a residence where someone — even a president — should have some privacy.
Having thus set the stage, some readers may still be blurting, "Obama smokes?!"
Candidates never want voters to see them in anything less than a positive light, so photos of Obama with a cigarette are rare or dated. In an interview with the Chicago Tribune last year in the earliest days of his presidential bid, Obama averred that he'd never been a heavy smoker, but "I've got an ironclad demand from my wife that in the stresses of the campaign I don't succumb. I've been chewing Nicorette strenuously."
Although smoking rates have steadily declined, more than one in five adult Americans smoke, according to the Centers for Disease Control. John McCain also once smoked, but says he hasn't had a cigarette in more than 28 years — although he joked last fall that he might be tempted "if there were a hydrogen-tipped weapon heading toward America."
It's been decades since we've had a president who was a regular cigarette smoker, way back to Franklin Roosevelt. Presidents Lyndon Johnson, John Kennedy and Bill Clinton smoked a cigar or pipe only occasionally. Dwight Eisenhower smoked four packs daily until 1949, four years before he became president.
Often asked how he quit, Eisenhower said that he simply put smoking out of his mind, according to one biography.
Organizations such as the American Lung Association see the issue of Obama's cigarette use as a teachable moment.
"Certainly, there are some very smart and very capable people who unfortunately get addicted to tobacco," said Bob Moffitt, communications director for the association in Minnesota and a former smoker himself. "We certainly encourage people not to smoke, but it's more of a teachable moment rather than getting concerned about what Obama should do.
"What we tell people, and what we could tell Sen. Obama, is don't give up. You may quit on your first attempt. It may be your seventh. It may be your 17th."
Obama, by his own account, has started and stopped several times, leading skeptics to debate across the Internet what "stopping" really means. Obama, 46, said in February that he was quitting again, which of course meant that he'd started again.
Bruce Benidt, a communications consultant in Minneapolis, said it reminds him of "The West Wing" episode in which Josh Lyman was asked at a press conference when President Jed Bartlet was going to quit smoking. Lyman replied, "The president quit smoking years ago," only to be told, "He bummed a cigarette from me on Air Force One two days ago."
"Bartlet is supposedly against the health effects of smoking, so the issue is hypocrisy," Benidt said. "Bartlet sneaks cigarettes regularly, in the Situation Room, in the National Cathedral while he's arguing with God." Yet as Benidt reads it, "Somehow sneaking the weeds makes the Bartlet character — a Nobel Prize-winning economist as well as president — more human."
Benidt is a smoker himself and knows that the image of smokers is "low-class, uneducated, kind of desperate and pathetic," he said. "But in a weird way, for an educated, well-off person like Obama or myself, smoking is one way to still be a bad boy — stupid as that is."
In May, Obama's doctor said that the candidate was in excellent health at the time of his last checkup, while adding that his smoking habit poses an obvious risk and that Obama is using Nicorette "with success." Still, the CDC says that adverse health effects from cigarette smoking account for almost 20 percent of the nation's annual deaths.
Brian Fitzpatrick, senior editor for the Culture and Media Institute in Alexandria, Va., has followed Obama and how Americans and the media perceive him. If Obama successfully quits smoking, he'll gain respect, "because it's a very difficult thing to do and so would be a demonstration of strong character," Fitzpatrick said.
"The problem with Obama is that he's apparently working hard to quit, but even with the Nicorette, he knows people look down on people who smoke. One of the most successful campaigns ever in the U.S. to change and influence behavior was the antismoking campaign. It changed America's perspective completely."
"The thing that concerns me is that it's going to damage that effort if we have a president who smokes, even surreptitiously," Fitzpatrick said.

Worthless fluff. Do people in Minneapolis really care for this type of news?
Obama not smoking is news but Bush not drinking and snorting coke was not.
Anyone see the trailer for Ollie Stone's "W." movie? Have to wonder what that will be like. Seems odd it's coming out before he leaves office. I found it funny they got James Cromwell to play George H. W. Bush. He is a polar opposite of Poppy Bush!
O for Pete sakes. If he was a coke head as GWB was, as well as an alcoholic, THAT would be news.
The man is trying to quit. It DOES take several tries in many cases. I believe that it is safe to say his stress level may be it bit elevated making it even more difficult to quit.
If this is his worst habit, perhaps we could move on to other issues. Personally, though not an Obama supporter, I don't believe this is any of our business. Let's talk issues, shall we?
He is 46, excellent physical shape. I doubt he is going to keel over despite his "habit"
I can see the ad now…
A picture of Barack appears on the screen with the sound of a man coughing.
Then the words appear on the screen over Barack's image: Is Barack Obama against lung cancer or for it?
Vote John McCain.
This message was approved by John McCain.
Given how badly McCain's campaign is going it wouldn't surprise me if he went this route.
Touche !!!!!!!!!!!!
And the banality of this piece suggests that the time until the election must be growing shorter, shorter, shorter… given the hyperbolically inverse relationship between political discourse and meaningfulness as elections near.

I know I'm in the extreme minority of feminist bloggers because I a) don't own a cat, b) don't find LOLcats all that funny, and c) don't really think cats are cute. Which is why Realisticats is for me! A sample of one of these blissfully accurate and grammatically correct images:
Because I want this trend to spread like wildfire, I tried my hand at creating my own — inspired by a real-life event in which my roommate's cat shredded a dress I had just made to wear to a friend's wedding:
Make your own, people! Spread the cat-hate! We're the, um, silent majority in the blogosphere, I swear.
63 Comments
okay why are we overanalyzing LOLCATS??? theres tons of annoying crap on the internet, if u dont like it, just ignore it. i for one happen to love cats…and think its mean to spread so much hatred for kitties everyone says they hate them cuz they're smelly, messy, annoying, and unaffectionate. my cat is none of those things! whenever i'm sad/upset/sick/etc. my cat picks up on it, spends more time on my lap, rubbing his face on me, and all those cute things. my grandparents, who are very old, get tons of extra affection from him, especially when they arent feeling great.
so poo to you cat haters. i will continue to surf all the lolcats sites so that they stay in business. lolz.
I think people who don't like cats have had a lot of experience with other people's cats and decided not to get one of their own. Cats are sort of like little kids who hide behind their parents when they're talking to another adult. It doesn't mean they don't like you. They just need more time to get to know you. They might need a second or third impression. When my family first got a cat, he was a little shy and it took him a couple of days to come up to us and let us pet him. After that, he became very loving and even gave kisses. So give cats a chance!
I have two cats. Coincidentally, I also have a sense of humor.
I love my cats (cats in general really) but I thought realisticats was HILARIOUS. I laughed so hard i couldn't breathe. Its funny because its true, people.

My mother ran over my cat.
What was worse, six months earlier, she'd decided my cat could be infected with FIV (thank you, 1980s Southern Baptist HIV-ignorance campaigns), and was convinced I'd get teh AIDZ from poor little Pepper.
I'm not bitter or anything (enters stairwell, starts sobbing).
Dog person now
No one really has to read this comment it's not important, I just wanted to add I think cats are the cutest damn things ever.
There is a stereotype of cats being a woman's animal, and that it is just not manly for a guy to have a cat.
One of the reasons I fell in love with my boyfriend years ago was the relationship he has with his cat. He takes such good care of Mandolin and his shirts are always furry from hugging her. He loves felines so much that he calls them all kitties, even though he's supposed to be a badass metal singer and wrestler.
I'm glad to have found a partner who likes cats as much as I do. Not that we don't like dogs, it's just that whenever I think about getting one for a pet, I think, "I might as well have a kid." Cats can be a total pain in the ass, but dogs take a lot of training and care.
Ok, I gotta say that the LOLTrek thing is pure genius. I LOVE that. also that Spock is the only one with perfect grammar and his lines are the the same as in the episode.
That aside, I have to say I have noticed a weird connection to cat hating and misogyny. This is not always that case of course, but I have noticed a sort of strange pattern there.
As for the macros, don't care one way or the other. Saw the site. The whole convoluted grammar thing gets on my nerves so I don't really bother with them.
I love both cats and dogs but find myself to be more of a cat person. I can't say I understand any sort of "hate" towards any animal. I love them all!
Thanks for letting me chime in.
i was going to say something…but AlaraJRogers beat me to it…i was wondering if any of the critics of the LOLcats had actually seen them…i don't like those hallmarky posters either, but as a fan of gaming, cartoons, pop culturey type stuff…i find them hilarious b/c i get the references.
if you don't like them…ignore them…they are for the amusement of those of us that find them funny…and not intended to annoy those who don't…
If you're terribly bothered by the LOLcats, its probably because CeilingCat caught you masturbating. At least, that's my assumption.
/if you don't get it, just move along, nothing to see here…
I absolutely adore cats. (I have two of them.) And I find LOLcats to be funny as hell.
I don't like dogs though. At all. I had lived with a guy who had two of them and I'll never live with dogs again. They're too dirty, smelly, and needy for my tastes.
Yay for kitties!
I empathize with people who think this is a silly discussion, but I honestly think that there is a valuable conversation to be had about the correlation of cat-hating with misogyny.
Of course it is dumb to gender cats and dogs as females vs males. Once we domesticate an animal, however, a certain amount of anthropomorphism is inevitable. Does it say more about us than the animals? Of course. It really has nothing to do with the animals at all.
I have to agree that I have seen cat-hating and misogyny go hand-in-hand too many times to ignore. I'm not talking about people who just don't like cats, I am talking about people who virulently loathe them and, if they don't actually harm them physically, show a disturbing degree of comfort with the concept of cats in pain.
I don't see it as cats=women and dogs=men though. It seems more like cats=women who are real people with complex emotions and an independence that demands respect; dogs=subservient women who exist purely for the edification and pleasure of their owners, unfailingly happy and playful no matter what, loyal to a fault, and exist in a kind of paternalistic relationship to their owners. I cannot help but notice how similar their rhetoric sounds to those assholes at americanwomensuck.com or whatever who complain about American women being aloof and spoiled while Russian/Thai/whatever women are always grateful and supportive.
Again, does this reflect the nature of cats and dogs at all? Of course not. This is about the people, not the animals. No, not all dog lovers are misogynists. Hell, I am a "cat person" but I do love dogs too. There are just some people out there (both of my brothers included, unfortunately) that are very vehemently and specifically hostile to cats and will tell you exactly why, using some of the characteristics above.
To the OP and others who don't like cats, I do not by any means believe you are like that. But this might help explain why cat-dislike pushes a lot of buttons, especially in feminist communities.
Okay, just wanted to throw in my two cents:
I love cats. I love dogs. I love LOLcats. I love pretty much LOL-anything. I too get annoyed with the spelling sometimes, but oh well.
But I enjoy the realisticats, too. I used to have a cat who would glare at the camera. Yes, it's anthropomorphizing him, but that's really what it looked like, and it suited his personality. I've been considering for a while putting together a memorial album with captions: "You will pay for this indignity." "Enjoy the surprise I left in your running shoes, punk." Etc.

But I enjoy the realisticats, too. I used to have a cat who would glare at the camera. Yes, it's anthropomorphizing him, but that's really what it looked like, and it suited his personality. I've been considering for a while putting together a memorial album with captions: "You will pay for this indignity." "Enjoy the surprise I left in your running shoes, punk." Etc.

Talking about saving money is an every day occurrence here at Atlanta Bargain Hunter. We find ways to save on entertainment. We save for college, find ways to save by spending less and we save for rainy days.
How often, though, do we talk about saving money with the intent to spend it?
It's an important part of savings strategy. Every year, you likely have major expenses that you pay only once or twice a year. Car registration, taxes, insurance, vacation and holiday shopping are classic examples. Let's say you had an annual expense of $500. You likely don't think about it until the bill comes. However, if you'd saved a little each month, you could easily make the payment without sweating it.
I'm reminded of those commercials: "This can be yours with three easy payments of $39.95."
This is saving money that is meant to be spent, rather than retirement money or even an emergency fund. How do you do it? Kiplinger.com offered some fantastic steps to making this happen.
1. Identify what those annual or bi-annual expenses are.
2. Total the amount and divide it by 12.
3. Open an account earmarked for this purpose alone. Consider an online account with a higher yield than a bank savings account. This is even easier since you won't be withdrawing the money regularly.
4. Kiplinger.com recommends opening a separate account for each of the bills you've identified. While this may work for some, it may be too difficult for some people to keep up with. I'd advise utilizing the approach that best suits you.
5. Leave the money alone until you need it. Another benefit of breaking the money up into chunks is that it makes it easier for you to identify other ways you can come up with the $30 or $40 you'll put into that savings account for the absolute necessities. For instance, can you cut back on your cable service, reduce your cell phone plan or use public transportation part of the week and put that same money toward your insurance premium instead?
Read the full Kiplinger post to get a more detailed picture of saving to spend.
How many different savings accounts do you have? Do you use them for specific purposes? Do you plan for major expenses that only come once or twice a year, or do they catch you off-guard?

Thanks for this suggestion. You would think it would be a 'given', but many times I think I have 'tunnel vision' thought. Although we try to budget a monthly amount for these expenses, we never actually put that money away for the later expense. I really feel like I have had a "Well Duh!" moment! How simple, and easy to do. Thank you!

I do this for Christmas. I have direct deposit and a set amount goes directly from my paycheck into my Christmas Club account. It's automatic and I never even have to think about it.
Then, when Christmas rolls around I have the money to pay for it.
I also do that for my homeowner's insurance and property taxes. It's called an Escrow account

My husband and I have done this for probably 27 years, ever since we first married and bought a house. We have an account that money goes into every pay day for car registration, property taxes, homeowners' insurance, car insurance, Christmas shopping and a few weekend getways. It's not used for anything else. I can't imagine doing it any other way.

I have a regular savings account, but what other accounts do you recommend opening for this. Another savings account or is there a better name for it? Can I get it right at the same bank that I have my other accounts in?
February 24th, 2010
12:58 pm
I do this at ING's online bank for my annual fees, such as car registration, XM radio and AMEX annual fee. I have several accounts there for different purposes, but this one is specifically for fees (you can open several online accounts here, they are free with no minimums, and are linked to your main bank). I send an automatic deposit of $10 per week, every Friday. It's only $10, so I don't miss it, but that's $520 saved a year and I never have to worry about having that money around my birthday for registration or my AMEX.
Jen, if you want me to refer you to ING, I can. They are offering referral bonuses right now, $25 for you if you open an account with them when you are referred by a current member.

My company used to spread out our salaries in 26 paychecks a year. I budgeted all of my expenses like I was paid two checks a month, and when the 2 months rolled around where there were 3 checks, I used them for vacation money and Christmas spending money. When they switched to 24 paychecks, I started another account (at ING) to direct deposit the extra money now in my paycheck, so that I could still accumulate the same amounts of vacation and Christmas money. I never missed the money moved to the new savings account because it was never a part of my budget, and I still get the benefits of those "extra" checks.

I'm the communications director for The Clean Air Campaign, and we've found that simple moves like altering your commute, like you said, really can make a difference. For instance: ditching your solo drive for transit can save you about $3,000 a year in transportation costs. Plus, some people don't even consider the fact that altering their commutes and driving less can even cut down on insurance premiums. Insurers we've spoken with say you can knock $50-$150 off auto insurance costs simply by making a commute change. Then that money you saved can go to something aside from your bill.

Don't forget you can save money by having your car and home insurance with the same company. Last year, we saved over $250 by bundling our insurance plans.

"… The Clean Air Campaign, and we've found that simple moves like altering your commute, like you said, really can make a difference. For instance: ditching your solo drive for transit can save you about $3,000 a year in transportation costs." – what a load … 10 year old car, half of my mileage is commute; annual cost of the car is only $2250 including gas, insurance and service. If I took MARTA to work, not only would I have an iffy walk of 1/2 mile + on each end of the commute (no sidewalk on my street from home and icky area where I work) to the bus and thence to the train, I would be spending at least 90 minutes each way walking and waiting, riding and waiting and riding and walking. Plus the MARTA fare round trip – so let's see 3 hours of time I don't have to spare PLUS at close to 60% of my commute costs is a savings? (And although I might use a little less gas and slightly less maintenance, the only direct savings would be the 400 toll. I have better ways to save less than $300 a year thankyewverymuch.

Startup Beats Google Maps on its Home Turf from O'Reilly Radar notes that those living in Australia can't turn to Google Maps for directions, ironic since apparently most of the Google Maps team is based in Sydney. Into the void now comes ZoomIn, allowing you to get road maps in Google Maps style. No aerial views, however -- but Google Maps does have that. Here's one of my favorite places, the Sydney Opera House.
What about Yahoo? Extremely basic maps (forget getting directions) and very rough imagery. Windows Live Local? Forget the cool Bird's Eye images. They're worse than Yahoo.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Brunswick is an exceptional school; academically-driven and challenging, supportive, yet firm. As with any school, some teachers are amazing, others just fine. The culture is not at all what the former poster describes, it is a shame he didn't turn to his dean or teachers for support. Surely, they would have helped him. There is an emphasis on striving for excellence and a supportive athletic culture that emphasizes sportsmanship and participation for freshman, while becoming more competitive for upper classmen. Our son is thriving there, we are thrilled he attends such an amazing school.
As a Brunswick Alum, I have been disgusted by the culture of Brunswick School. The banner "Courage, Honor, Truth" has never been practiced by the faculty, students, or affiliates and in its place the school promotes a sense of self-entitlement, arrogance, and pretentiousness that makes any individual with a shred of humility or decency cringe. Teachers are widely inconsistent within the same courses, two teachers teaching American History could have totally different, subjective guidelines for performance. While this may be expected with different teachers, this becomes an issue when it comes to AP level courses. Students in one course can be all receive 2's or 3's on the AP exam despite receiving A's while other students can receive 4's or 5's despite receiving B-'s. This sort of inaccuracy is unprofessionally and simply pathetic for a school that has been around for over a century. On top of that, students who do not conform to egotistical, boastful behavior are not only treated as pariahs but there is a sense of cutthroat competition even amongst so called "friends." I find this school absolutely abhorrent and would never dream of sending anyone I knew into that school.
Brunswick's facilities, teachers and academics are consistently ranked in the top 20 in the country. I am in constant wonder at how they can create such a warm environment yet gently guide boys into becoming articulate, respectful men. Even the language used by the youngest members of the Brunswick family is quite impressive. The leadership of this school is remarkable and the teachers are phenomenal. If you are fortunate enough to be admitted. Enjoy the fact that your son will love going to school each day and you will become part of a close community.
My son has found Brunswick to be very nurturing and stimulating at the same time. They teach in terms boys find interesting. I am in awe of how even the second graders speak. They are well mannered, bright and very impressive. If you want the very best in academics this is it. Parent involvement is extremely high and there is almost something everyday to get involved. If you have a high energy boy that is curious and academically inclined this is the ideal place for him to flourish.
Best private school in Greenwich. Excellent academics, with well-mannered, socially responsible children. Brunwick educates in terms boys find engaging. Academics are challenging and parent involvement is extremely high. Wonderful teachers. I am so happy we chose Brunswick over other top private schools in the area. If you want the best for your son academically this is it!
Brunswick has the best facilities in the area, both for athletics and academics. My son has been challenged and encouraged to do and be his best. I feel he will be well prepared for college and whatever career he pursues.
An exceptional institution... academically tought yet supportive and caring
Brunswick was the best experience of my life and I could not picture myself anywhere else. If you had the same experience that I had at Brunswick, for the 13 years that I went there, you would agree that you could never see yourself attending another school besides Brunswick.
My husband and I feel that Brunswick School was the greatest experience for our family. My son received an exceptional education and had people that really cared about him. The staff were more than just teachers they were family.

Lainey & Nella's Pretty Place
Room Tour
Names: Lainey & Nella
Location: Florida
Room size: 13'x13'
Readers of Kelle Hampton's blog, Enjoying The Small Things, have come to love Kelle and her daughters, Lainey and Nella. True to her blog's name, Kelle delights in little details, and her daughters' shared room is a study in simple and beautiful pleasures.
Enjoying The Small Things has a huge and fiercely devoted following. The blog has garnered tremendous praise, including a nod for Best Design as one of Babble's Top 50 Mom Blogs of 2010, and winning Best Special Needs Blog at The Bump.
Kelle wrote an honest and moving account of Nella's birth story, when they learned that she has Down Syndrome, and that is where she invites new readers to start when finding their bearings on her blog. It's the remarkable combination of Kelle's candor, her wonderful writing and her gorgeous photographs that keep us coming back. Just as Kelle describes Nella's extra chromosome as magical, she has a real knack for finding the extra magic in everyday life, and it shows in the room she has decorated for her daughters.
Kelle was kind enough to answer a few of our questions about Lainey and Nella's room.
What is the story of the room? Was it Lainey's before Nella was born? If so, how did it change with Nella's arrival? The girls' room was indeed Lainey's room first. The moment I found out we were having a girl, I started planning. I knew I wanted pale pink, and then when I found the crib, the rest of the room kind of developed around it. When I found out we were having another girl when I was pregnant with Nella, I was ecstatic. I grew up with a sister and shared a room with her for a long time, and I love those memories. I wanted the same for my girls. The room basically stayed the same with the addition of a day bed (found on Craigslist!) and some more personal accessories that incorporated Nella's name.
How is your daughters' room similar or different from the rest of the house? It's interesting because their room actually used to be an office. We added a closet and bookshelves to transform it into a bedroom. I always envision it as a completely different space from the rest of the house because it's so feminine and soft, but because it has french doors that open to our living room, the feeling of their room kind of spills into the rest of the house naturally, and I love that too.
Before starting, what elements did you know you wanted to include, for sure? I knew I wanted three things: pink, chandelier and bookcases.
What is your proudest DIY? Two things: the chandelier because I saved so much money by buying an inexpensive one and transforming it, and the girls' keepsake shadow boxes. They didn't require a lot of work or creativity, but they represent something sacred to me--the moment each of them came into my life and that precious time in the hospital when I fell in love with them. Shadow boxes, Joanns. Lined with decorative paper and pinned with the hats and hospital bracelets from when the girls were born.
And Lainey's proudest DIY is her canvases. 12x12 canvases from craft store and I let Lainey have at 'em herself when she was a bit younger.
What is your biggest indulgence? Our crib.
Are there any objects with an interesting history? Our spoons. My grandma had a spoon collection I always admired--spoons she acquired from all her travels (she and my grandpa were missionaries for awhile). When she died, family members all inherited different spoons. My London spoon of hers is framed for Lainey in the girls' room and one of my most cherished heirlooms. I wanted to continue her tradition for the girls, so I've started collecting spoons from the places we've traveled with our family. Our little collection is slowing growing, and proudly displayed on a keepsake frame in the room, in front of our favorite photos.
Is there anything you would do differently next time around? Not at all.
Do you have plans for any future projects in the room? When the girls get a little older, I'd like to transform it from girly and pink to more colorful and alive. Yellows and reds and lots and lots of books.
Any advice for other people starting this process? If you find something you love, before you buy it research some DIY sites and get a little creative to see if you can recreate what you love on your own for less money.
Dream resource? I love Serena & Lily and Land of Nod!
Crib and Dresser: Ma Marie by Young America Stanley
Chandelier: Lowe's. It was brown and had orange beads, on clearance. We repainted it and rebeaded it with inexpensive pink beads from Joanns.
Round Imperial Area Rug: Home Decorators
Lainey's Bedding: mix and match from Marshalls and Homegoods. (pillows, I tea-stained)
Portrait Canvases: a gift from artist Jana Laurene
Paint colors: Sherwin Williams Intimate White, Sherwin Williams Romance
Thanks Kelle!

What a sweet room!...Love the girls names and the black and white photos above the crib! Great job.
I love their birth boxes! Great idea
Such a darling room! Love the shutters on the windows!
What a pretty room! It is just the right amount of sweet and girly. I love how the chandelier turned out, and the wreath hanging over the crib is beautiful.
And I am totally stealing the mailbox on the wall idea--how fun is that?
Oh wow, I had to come back and comment again because I just read the birth story. I think that may be the most beautiful birth story I have ever read. The two little girls who share this room are so blessed to have such an amazing family.
i sold a daybed JUST like that one on craigslist...in alabama. Makes you wonder where your thing are living now!
Word of advice-don't read the birth story at work! You will cry and people will ask what is wrong with you! What a sweet story. And a lovely room as well! Good job.
"What is your biggest indulgence? Our crib."
WHAT?! I sell window coverings and the first thing I noticed in these pictures was those ammmmazing shutters! Those can run you an arm and a leg! The CRIB put you out more? Wowza.
I know I'm late to this discussion, but I am so in love with this room and Kelle Hampton's blog. I'm not usually into very feminine rooms, but I love that Kelle commits to it. Truly lovely.
SUCH an adorable room <3

The series is a celebration and a tribute to children and their playfulness, and also a realization of the humor in being a parent.

i think….taylor swift….has herself….on her keychain?
Does anyone know who that is/might be besides Taylor? It's her Nashville SUV if that's any help.
i really hope it is
it's just important to me that taylor made this face as selena leaned in to kiss jbieb's cheek.
EDIT: upon closer inspection, it seems the biebs went in for a kiss-kiss like on the lips and selena did the bob and weave and they ended up cheek kissing like my great-aunt from canada. but taylor made the gross face when he went in for the lip lock and that makes this gif all the better.
I love this face she makes latter on when the biebs apparently won't stop chatting with selena. Also note: she, the red headed girl and selena are holding hands through out all of this.

The NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has exonerated Beyonce from allegations proposing her to be the reason behind the blackout at the Super Bowl. Prior to Roger Goodell's news conference on Monday, reports linked Beyonce with the power outage at the Superdome during the halftime show.
The Superdome was engulfed by darkness for half an hour with unknown reasons as culprits. The blackout caused a lot of confusion and delays in the proceedings, which ultimately affected the ratings of the Super Bowl.
"There's no indication at all that this was caused by the halftime show. Absolutely not. I know that's been out there that this halftime show had something to do with it. That is not the case," Roger Goodell said.
In his interview Roger Goodell confirmed the presence of backup generators at the Super Bowl, although he wasn't able to point out the reason behind the delay. Dough Thornton, vice president of SMG, the company that manages the Superdome, reiterated his stance.
"It was not on our power grid at all," Dough Thornton said. According to Doug Thornton, the blackout occurred due to a decrease in metered power consumption which happened because the house lights were down.
Beyonce's electrifying performance included hits such as "Crazy Love", "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It) and the reunion of Destiny's Child. Just a couple of days ago, Beyonce performed at the inauguration of President Barack Obama, an event where the 31-year-old singer was caught singing to a pre-recorded track.
The Super Bowl performance was an impressive attempt at redemption by Beyonce, who has been criticized for faking performances more than once. Beyonce's performance easily triumphed over the Black Eyed Peas show in 2011. It also overshadowed Madonna's spectacular performance from last year.
After the halftime show, Beyonce announced the dates for her European tour "the Mrs. Carter Show World Tour". The tour will start on April 15 in Belgrade, Serbia and will end on May 29 in Stockholm, Sweden.
The tour will kick off in North America on June 28 in Los Angeles and arrive at its end on August 3 in Brooklyn, New York. Reports on Monday confirmed that a tour for Latin America, Australia and Asia is also being formulated.

~Do I Make You Proud - Taylor Hicks~
We've all got that one special person - a father, a brother, an older friend - that's guided us through, that's taught us a lot that we know, that's helped us through our times of need. And after they move on, and we have to carry ourselves, do we carry on believing and using whatever that person's taught us? and do we pass these messages on to those younger than us, in need of that same guidance? and at the end of it all, have you made that person proud of you, that what he's done for you hasn't gone to waste?

David Dobel:
I broke up with this girl, and they put me with a psychiatrist who said, "Why did you get so depressed, and do all those things you did?" I said, "I wanted this girl and she left me." And he said, "Well, we have to look into that." And I said, "There's nothing to look into. I wanted her and she left me." And he said, "Well, why are you feeling so intense?" And I said, "Cause I want the girl." And he said, "What's underneath it?" And I said, "Nothing." He said, "I'll have to give you medication." I said, "I don't want medication. I want the girl." And he said, "We have to work this through." So, at that point, I took a fire extinguisher from the casement and struck him across the back of his neck.
Don't be mad at me, but I ate.
Jerry Falk:
You ate?
I couldn't help it. I was starving when I got back from the audition, so I had a little sliver of that Sara Lee cream cheesecake. Then I had another one. You know what I'm like when I get started. Before I knew it, I'd finished the whole cake.
Jerry Falk:
You ate the whole Sara Lee cream cheesecake?
And then I figured, what the hell. I finished off the cold spaghetti in the refrigerator, and ate that last lobster tail and then I heated up some chicken pot pie.
Jerry Falk:
Jesus, is there any furniture left in the house?
Jerry Falk:
Yeah. So what can it possibly mean? Look, I can't keep wasting my hour here describing lunatic dreams. I have a date with Amanda. I can't keep running around town on the sly and live like this. Amanda can handle it, but I need help. What do I do? I have to extricate myself from Brooke. It'll break her heart. She wants to marry me.
Okay. Okay, I slept with Ron Keller. But I didn't do it because I care about him.
Jerry Falk:
No? What then? To punish him?
No, I did it because I had to find out if there was something wrong with me. Because I can't sleep with you, the person that I love. I had to know if I was some kind of freak, or frigid. I had to know if I could even get aroused anymore and have an orgasm.
Jerry Falk:
And can you?
Yeah. It's good news. I can.
David Dobel:
Yoy said it yourself, you're afraid to sleep alone. That's the whole story. You surround yourself with this farrage of babysitters, this loving-disabled little sex kitten who's driving you crazy, the Jew manager, you know? And let me tell you I am of the Hebrew pursuassion, but the guy that handles you is a member of one of the lost tribes of Israel that should have remained lost. And you got this shrink who, like God, never speaks, and like God, is dead. There's nothing wrong with being afraid. We were meant to be afraid. That's why you gotta build a survival kit!
I took the liberty a couple weeks ago of ordering you a little present.
Jerry Falk:
Well, they're having a sale here on surplus Russian Army riffles.
Jerry Falk:
Well suppose you're home one night, you know, in bed masturbating and some guys try to break in. You need protection.
Jerry Falk:
No! I just dial 9-1-1.
Have you ever dialed 9-1-1? It's like trying to get a mortgage.

PHILADELPHIA – Thousands of conservative Christians gathered Saturday on Independence Mall in Philadelphia to pray for the future of the United States in the weeks before the presidential election.
Religious broadcaster Pat Robertson and Family Research Council president Tony Perkins topped a full day of speakers at The America for Jesus 2012 prayer rally.
Robertson, a former Republican candidate for president, called the election important, but he didn't mention either major political party or candidate by name.
I don't care what the ACLU says or any atheists say. This nation belongs to Jesus, and we're here today to reclaim his sovereignty, said Robertson, 82, who founded the Christian Coalition and Christian Broadcasting Network, and ran for president in 1988.
Organizers plan another prayer rally Oct. 20 in Washington, D.C., two weeks before President Obama faces Republican Mitt Romney in the presidential election.
Perkins asked the crowd to pray for elected officials, including Obama.
We pray that his eyes will be open to the truth, Perkins said.
A number of event organizers, though, have been vocal critics of the Democratic president.
Steve Strang, the influential Pentecostal publisher of Charisma magazine, which was distributed at the rally, recently wrote in a blog post that America is under threat from a radical homosexual agenda.
He also said Obama seems to be moving toward some form of European socialism.
And speaker Cindy Jacobs has blamed a mysterious Arkansas bird-kill last year on Obama's repeal of the policy known as don't ask, don't tell, which allows gays and lesbians to serve openly in the military.

Superman's pal takes center stage when a new JIMMY OLSEN co-feature starts in September's ACTION COMICS #893! Written by rising star Nick Spencer (of such buzzed-about Image mini-series as EXISTENCE 2.0, FORGETLESS and the upcoming MORNING GLORIES) and drawn by R.B. Silva (who's drawing July's SECRET SIX #23), this co-feature promises to be a whole lotta fun.
You've played the game, but why stop there?
Today, we get to unveil the second wave of DC Direct's hyper-detailed ARKHAM ASYLUM figures, based on the bestselling game, which pits the Dark Knight against his deadliest foes -- on the frightening Arkham Island.
All things BRIGHTEST DAY continue to chug along at a frenetic pace, and we've got a first look at what's going down in the September-shipping batch of titles. Click below for more.
Talk about a stellar cast of guest-bloggers this week, huh? Grant Morrison, Andy Kubert, David Finch, Dustin Nguyen, Shane Davis…Can we keep going? Well, yes. We have one more – last, and certainly not least, we checked in with OUTSIDERS and BATMAN AND ROBIN artist Philip Tan to get a look at his contribution to the landmark 700th BATMAN issue. Take it away, Philip.
September marks the conclusion of BATMAN: THE RETURN OF BRUCE WAYNE — but what does that mean for the Dark Knight? We're not telling, but click below for a few clues.
On the cover to BRIGHTEST DAY #4? Yup. How is that possible, you ask? What's going on with the Hawks? You'll get a few ideas from the pages below, but you'll have to wait until BRIGHTEST DAY #4 hits tomorrow for the full scoop, courtesy of Mr. Johns, Tomasi, Reis, Finch, Gleason, Clark and Syaf.
It's been a great week for BATMAN fans here at The Source, and we've got a few more things to toss your way before the week is over. How about comments from superstar artist Shane Davis, who's the artist on the upcoming SUPERMAN: EARTH ONE original graphic novel? Take it away, Shane.

Learning The "Secrets" of Services
If a person is charged with a crime they have two choices. They can plead guilty and forgo a trial or they can plead not guilty and go to trial. When a person pleads not guilty, that is not a comment on whether or not they carried out the crime they are being accused of. It could mean that although they committed the crime, they feel that they had a good reason for doing so and therefore they should be found not guilty. People who admit to committing a crime but feel that they should be exonerated for a variety of reasons present what is known as an affirmative criminal defense. People use many different types of reasons for their affirmative criminal defense but there a few popular ones.
Television shows and movies love to use the insanity defense in their portrayal of criminal cases. But the truth is, this affirmative criminal defense is not used often. Insanity defenses only work if a jury can be convinced that the defendant was totally incapable of understanding what they were doing and the consequences of their actions. Even for people with real mental defects it is difficult to meet that criteria. And because it is so difficult to convince a jury that a defendant is too insane to be found guilty, this defense is only used as a last ditch effort for defendants who refuse to plead guilty even when the evidence is stacked against them.
The coercion and/or duress affirmative criminal defense is used more often. This defense states that a defendant only committed a crime because another individual threatened them with harm if they did not commit crime. A defendant can claim coercion even if the threat was against them personally; having a member of their family be threatened would also fall under the coercion and duress defense.
A defendant cannot use this defense if they were involved in a crime that brought about the coercion. For instance, if a defendant and another individual car jack someone and the defendant is forced at gun point to shoot the car jack victim, they cannot claim coercion in the shooting. This defense is almost always used in cases where there are co-defendants. It is rare that a defendant claims a person who was not involved in the crime at all coerced them.
The most widely used affirmative criminal defense is self-defense. Self-defense also happens to be the affirmative criminal defense that acquits defendants the most. People who are accused of murder and serious assault use this defense. One reason why this defense is so successful is because, sadly, the victim is deceased and cannot tell their side of the story.

We say if you are going to rebound...rebound BIG !
"Modern Family" actress Sofia Vergara recently ended her engagement to Nick Loeb and has moved on in a BIG way. She is dating "True Blood" hunk Joe Manganiello.
A source tells Us Weekly, "Sofia is Joe's dream girl!"
"He's been smitten with her for years. He's always had a huge crush on her. Things are going well for them so far."
"Sofia had no idea that he had been crushing on her for a while."
They were introduced at the White House Correspondents Dinner in May.
This new couple is causing women across the planet to lose their mind that their "dream man" is taken by such a beauty like Sophia, and they are throwing major hate her way online.
Jealous much? Seriously, get a grip ladies! :)

The fact of my having been the common prisoner of a common jail I must frankly accept, and curious as it may seem, one of the things I shall have to teach myself is not to be ashamed of it.
Of course I know that from one point of view, things will be made different for me than for others—must indeed, by the very nature of the case, be made so. The poor thieves and outcasts who are imprisoned here with me are in many respects more fortunate than I am. The little way in gray city or green field that saw their sin is small—to find those who know nothing of what they have done they need go no farther than a bird might fly between the twilight at dawn and dawn itself—but for me the world is shriveled to a handsbreadth, and everywhere I turn my name is written on the rocks in lead. For I have come, not from obscurity into the momentary notoriety of crime, but from a sort of eternity of fame to a sort of eternity of infamy, and sometimes seem to myself to have shown, if indeed it required showing, that between the famous and the infamous there is but one step, if as much as one.
Still, in the very fact that people will recognize me wherever I go, and know all about my life, as far as its follies go, I can discern something good for me. It will force on me the necessity of again asserting myself as an artist, and as soon as I possibly can. If I can produce only one beautiful work of art I shall be able to rob malice of its venom and cowardice of its sneer, and to pluck out the tongue of scorn by the roots.

Singer-songwriter Jeff Hanson was found dead in his St. Paul, Minnesota apartment Friday, the Minneapolis-St. Paul Star Tribune has reported.
It was unclear exactly what caused Hanson's death, but he apparently died from a fall or other accident in the apartment, which has concrete floors, his sister Sara Hanson told the paper.
The 31-year-old musician had been climbing a steady rise to fame with the help of the independent record label, Kill Rock Stars, for which Hanson released three albums, including last year's critically acclaimed "Madam Owl."
Hanson was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and began playing guitar when he was just 4 years old. He formed his first band at age 13, and was signed to Kill Rock Stars six years ago.
"Jeff Hanson was an amazing artist, a riotously funny person, and a good friend," the label said in a statement posted on their Web site. "Everyone at Kill Rock Stars feels that we were privileged to put out his records. We will miss him tremendously.
In a radio segment about his last album, NPR called his voice, "one of the most incredible and truly unique voices you'll ever hear."
Funeral arrangements have not yet been announced.

The winner will be announced June 24 in Las Vegas during the NHL Awards show.
