Arnensee Lake, Switzerland
The waters of Arnensee in Switzerland are so clear they cause boats such as the one in the picture to appear as they are hovering in the air.
The lake is located in Canton of Berne in Switzerland, and can be easily reached with a little planning. Although that first picture has made the lake relatively known, it's still usually a quiet, tourist-free place.

growing pigs, chickens, and greens in each cities
The pigs would eat the left greens ans provide food to the citizens. I know some of them don't eat pork. chickens eat quite the same. It could be easy to too make fertilizer with the garbages.
Growing pork,chicken and vegetables around the cities, fed with with delete greens could provide very low price food to people, cut the transportation costs and give work to people....It is a dream, I know....

Oct 7 2012: chickens don't eat quite the same as pigs. It is important to know the distinction in eating practices between both if you are to ever try this.
Also it is a dream because people move to the city to get away from the farm, they don't want the stink of pig or chicken in their back yard. Also I have the feeling many people would get squeemish when it came time to slaughter

NP, I did not get my package! Please help
NP, I did not get my package! Please help
I tried contacting you guys through emails, so far, I only got one response back, even though I replied back multiple time to the response.
I will try on here> Order #197082 Tracking number 562861870337512
If you look at the tracking number, there was something definitely wrong with the shipping address. It showed that fedex first tried to deliver at 2:22pm to an address in Kent, which is odd because I live in Kirkland and Kent is 20 miles away. However fedex was unable to deliver the package because it was not the right address. It then showed fedex trying to deliver it again at 2:34pm to another address in Kent, but once again it showed it was denied of delivery. The latest tracking information showed it was delivered to Kirkland at 2:34pm and signed by "OHALL". There is no way it was delivered in Kirkland at 2:34pm because the last attempt was at 2:34pm in Kent, and Kent is 20 miles away.
I would like it if you guys can send out my order again, but this time to the correct address. I already waited 2 weeks for this, and I really need these supplements for my pct addition. I don't know whether its fedex or nutra's fault, but I did not get my package. So please get back to me whenever you get this.

I write. I travel. I drink. Tweets by @NateAbernethy
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
For those of you who don't recognize that fair woodland nymph, her name is Kate Micucci and she's an adorable comedian, musician, actress, and most notably one half of the brilliant musical comedy duo Garfunkel & Oates. I decided to reward her hard work and variety of talent by getting drunk and bombarding her with love letters. Upon awakening the next morning I was mortified at my crimes, and knew it had to be shared.
Dearest Kate,
I was browsing HBO's website the other day looking to see when the premiere of Boardwalk Empire is since now that Breaking Bad is on hiatus I have nothing to do with myself come Sunday nights. When I was surprised and delighted to see that the Garfunkel and Oates show is now a reality. This revelation set off a chain of reactions on my part, primarily focused around harassing my friends who can spring for premium cable to see if I can mooch off their subscriptions. However it also reminded me that I have previously sworn my love and adoration to you. Of course this is unbeknownst to you, but yes you have stolen the heart of an average looking, mildly creepy twenty something.
Now perhaps it was due to the current intake of alcohol or the egging on of friends who enjoy the uncomfortable situations I create, but for whatever reason upon my rekindled desire I decided I should start writing weekly love letters to woo you. So here goes attempt one, I figure I'll ease you into it and make the initial letter more of a introductory notice to at least give you fair warning of the awkwardness in the weeks ahead. Obviously the ideal situation here is that you are so overcome with the depth, charm, and raw emotion of my words that I win you over and we live happily ever after in a cabin in Big Sur. Barring that outcome though I figured this would at least give me something to do to avoid more tasking activities, because unfortunately despite my many obvious redeeming qualities I am also a great sufferer in the ways of procrastination. It will also allow my peers the opportunity to get a chuckle out of my cringe worthy efforts to court you.
So why bother writing this if you may never see it and if it most likely will not have its desired effect? I reckon the worst case scenario is you read this and the fact that someone out there genuinely thinks you're wonderful will brighten your day at least a little… well either that or I'll be receiving my summons for a restraining order shortly. Speaking of restraining orders, my timing in writing this letter happens to be ideal as I just now noticed you are playing the Improv in Addison this weekend. Only a stone's throw away from where I grew up! So should you receive this letter in time and are not completely sketched out, let me know if you would like to grab a coffee in a well lit public place and it would be my delight to come see the show and buy you some kind of pumpkin flavored or fall themed latte. That's it! I'll let you off easy week one, but expect love poems and forced romantic metaphors in the near future.
Your well meaning admirer and most definitely non-serial murderer,
Nate Abernethy
It's been over a month since my move and I still haven't settled in at my new place. Something just doesn't feel right. There are many things I will not miss about West Campus, paying twice the rent I am now is chief among them. Somehow I'm managing to carry on without the sound of a screeching bus filled with drunks pulling up outside my window at 3 am, or the battle cries of "Come at me bro!" as the fratbros from said bus empty into the streets. The slurred inquiry for directions by the sorostitutes stumbling in their 10 inch heels as they shout up at my balcony. The constant fear of being towed from my own apartment complex by the satanic cult of a towing company. The incessant leaking of my air conditioning. All of these things will not be missed, but there was one factor of living in West Campus that I was quite sad to part with. That's you. Yes you, the dude who works the counter at the corner store. There's a 7-11 within spitting distance of my current residence, but that cashier doesn't get me like you did. I'm saddened to say I never asked for your name, but then again I feel that added to the charm of our relationship. No names, just one kind Indian cashier and one beaten down West Campus outcast. You saw me at my worst corner store man, and you never judged me for it. When I rolled up 5 minutes before closing and roamed the aisles looking for the most fattening munchies possible you never said anything; you just gave me this sad but understanding look. When I cleaned out the beer fridge on a Tuesday afternoon and it was obvious it was all for me you showed me warmth and kindness so I wouldn't drink myself to death. On the rare occasions where I needed to buy condoms you swelled with pride for me. You made me feel like you were genuinely invested in seeing me live a fulfilling life, but didn't think less of me when I continued to live my unhealthy, pathetic one. So I thank you corner store man, you were the unsung hero of my daily routine. Should I ever feel the desire to visit an area where I will receive belittling looks from a gaggle of popped collars and khaki shorts, or should I decide my eyes need another dose of blinding neon, aesthetically-upsetting sorority shirts? Your humble store will be the first place I stop.

What Are the Pros & Cons of Under-Counter Fridges & Freezers?
Good Questions
Q: I'm in the early stages of planning a kitchen remodel. Instead of the standard tall refrigerator, I'm considering separate under-counter refrigerator and freezer drawers to open up much needed counter space. I'm curious as to any pros or cons readers have experienced. Will this concept will hold up over time?
Will a potential home buyer be deterred from buying because they're unusual? Has anyone had long-term experience with them?
Sent by Kristine
Editor: Readers, do any of you have under-counter fridges or freezers?
Next question?

Yep, I have only seen these in extremely large and well-appointed kitchens as supplements to a standing refrigerator. Might be a cute option in a very tiny kitchen (instead of one of those dorm-sized minifridges), but I would not buy a house/apt without room for a standard unit.
I too would consider the under-counter fridge and freezer as secondary storage to supplement a regular standing one
These units are usually proportionately smaller than a standard refrigeration as normal counters don't have the depth
Our daughter has a regular refrigerator with double door fridge section on top and the freezer as one big drawer on the bottom
She quickly learned to hate the freezer section and proclaimed it a PIA. Seems every time she wanted something it was on the bottom. She's vowed, 'Never again.'
I love my freezer on the bottom Subzero frig. It does take some organization to keep everything you want within reach but not a big deal.
I agree that if I were buying a house I would definitely want a place for my refrigerator.
These are amazing for secondary storage but not as your only option.
When I do a bigger remodel of my kitchen, I plan to use this concept, as well. I don't like the massive footprint of a standup fridge in a home, and prefer to keep things stored under the counter. I would probably have a chest freezer in the basement, instead of keeping one in the kitchen. But I rarely use frozen items, and when I do, it's not a big deal to make a short trip to the basement to get it. Also, I have plenty of large parties at my house, but I don't see the need for enormous bowls in my fridge just for that. Then again, it's just me and my kids, so I don't need to stock half of costco in there, either.
The resale concept is a tough sell (ahem) for the majority, however. Perhaps having a space that could be used for, or easily converted into, a stand up fridge area, would be wise to keep if you do plan to sell someday.
Thanks for all your replies.
@grumpybarista, I have the same thoughts about large bowls and stocking up. I also had considered a kitchen design that would be flexible for a stand up fridge.
For everyone else, I'm not sure we are typical. We are a vegetarian household of 3 with an apartment size, bottom freezer refrigerator at the moment. We buy vegetables weekly, typically make meals from scratch and any leftovers are eaten quickly or tucked in the freezer. I've not had an issue with space yet.
I love the three freezer drawers. I feel much more of the space is efficiently used, front to back, top to bottom. I have stacks of containers of sauce, chili, soups, a bag whole wheat flour, bucket of ice, loaf of bread and room to spare. And this the LG Cabinet-Depth Fridge.
I haven't had a problem with holidays or chilling cakes. When hosting parties for 20 people or so, we have a portable cooler when we need temporary chill space. I'd say it's all in the planning.
Does anyone have under counter drawers, even for secondary refrigeration?
Isn't this a really expensive option? I've priced this out because I love having frozen foods on hand and I only have space for a smaller sized fridge in my kitchen. I priced them starting at about $3000 -- and my fridge was only $1800!
Like you, I am considering the undercounter refrigerator option to create more counter space. The biggest obstacle? There really aren't a lot of reliable options available, affordable or otherwise. I'd love to hear what appliances you've been looking at; I'd be happy to share my research with you.
I agree, an undercounter option may not work for those with families; little or no freezer space is a problem. Although in Europe, many, many households with children survive with a single undercounter fridge and small freezer (think ice cube trays that make those tiny icecubes).
Re: resale, I talked with my realtor about this, because I was concerned about how small appliances (24" range and undercounter fridges) would affect the value of my home. Since I plan on being in my home for many years, his advice was, 'do what works best for you, what you want' and not worry about the resale. He also made the point about the growing trend in micro-housing and that many people DO want to live with less.
Appliances are an investment, so you want to make the choice that is going to work best for you and your family for now, and the years ahead.
Not drawers, but my parents installed under-counter fridge and freezer units in their laundry room for extra space. They were disappointed -- the freezer failed after only about 7 years. The fridge still works, but the freezer was more useful (as an extra) so they removed both. Sorry I don't know the brand, but I'd be concerned about the built-in nature of the drawers in case one failed and needed replacement, perhaps after that exact model had been discontinued.
I live in the UK, and under-counter fridges and freezers are very common. I waste a whole lot less than when I lived in Canada (more likely to do with the fact that I shop every day), and don't refrigerate things which don't need to be refrigerated (condiments and the like), but I do regularly daydream about having a fridge the size of a car.
I think undercounter fridges are perfectly viable. It just depends on the person/family and your grocery shopping habits. If you have a large family or buy a lot of groceries in bulk, then you might need more space that undercounter fridges provide on their own.
But if you live on your own or have a small family, or you make smaller food purchases, then you probably wouldn't need a bigger stand-alone fridge.
Personally, I'd love to have them. I live on my own and pretty much buy food as needed. So of course my current apartment came with this massive fridge, which is ridiculous. I could probably fit everything in there (freezer included) on one shelf. Something smaller would be much more economical.
Subzero - 2 freezer drawers, 2 vegetable drawers and a full fridge ~6 years old. FANTASTIC when they work. Not mine, but I check in on the house when the owners are away. The fridge fails with compressor issues about once a year but keeps getting repaired. The 2 freezer drawers failed 2 years ago and the repair crew was called about 3 months after the failure (owners said they could take care of it 'when they got back'). Due to the long lapse, the repair crew say they could not figure out how to fix the freezer drawers - we'd turned them off, and evidently lost diagnostic data that, they say could not be recreated when the power was turned back on. This summer, when the owners again return, one of their first priorities is an expensive replacement that is <not> SubZero.
*The vegetable drawers, so far, have never failed.
*Anecdotes discovered after the failure indicate that this experience is not uncommon.
People seem to be using more fresh vegetables these days and the under counter refrigeration is the answer for optimal storage. I can pack enough fresh vegetables including large bunches of greens, boxes of spinach plus all the vegetables we use in my two stacked drawers for a weeks worth of recipes and use. It takes the pressure off the regular refrigerator which is ill-equipped for vegetable storage, one drawer??? Things stay tidier in the big fridge and the produce lasts longer in the drawers.
Parties? The drawers are easily used for drinks for cans, bottles, or pitchers instead of big coolers sitting around with ice needs. We even keep glasses in with the drinks for the chilled effect.
Platters won't fit but now you will have more room in the regular fridge. Most of my bowls, casseroles, smaller plates and serve wear easily fit into the drawers.
If I had a small kitchen, I would arrange my kitchen with newer ideas for storage to accommodate the drawers.
If my budget didn't allow for it, I'd start saving!
Would I have one instead of a regular fridge? Never.
I don't have any notes to share yet, but your realtor's advice was exactly what I wanted to hear!
I've seen a few places mention compressor issues that were difficult to fix. Thanks chiming in with a 6 year old unit and it's rocky history.
I'm hoping by the time we get around to the remodel in a few years, familiarity will go up while prices and issues will go down.
Thanks kitchn community!

2011 Preowned Market Report
Realistic pricing is keeping the flow of pre-owned business aircraft inventory moving. But it's a fragile process, and in some segments progress is glacial.
The good news for buyers: bargains still abound.
Aircraft brokers have had plenty to grumble about since the good old days ended, but the talk about the lack of deals has subsided and today's more muted commiseration revolves around how long it's taking to get deals done, which at least implies that deals are getting done. The consensus seems to be that the recovery in the market is now broader than it was last year and has encompassed some heretofore forgotten market segments. What had been a tale of two markets drew buyer attention to the large-cabin, long-range, current-production types, while the older, less-sought-after models foundered, searching for an elusive price floor. This year brought a growing perception that a floor was forming beneath some out-of-production (or classic) models, and once buyers were convinced it was they stepped in. Purchase of these older-generation aircraft can be a lengthy and draining process, but at the end of the day, deals are getting done with a sense of relief from seller and elation from buyers.

Lightweight, soft and comfortable up against the skin. The short turtle neck is way too big around and sits far from my neck. Arms are long and so is the length which is nice. Don't buy XL unless you need the width. Its very thin and not that warm I wouldn't recommend it for the money.
Very warm. Well made, sized right.
Warm comfortable and soft. Great layering product. will order more before next winter.

text: The Value Debate: Combating Low-Ball AppraisalsBuilders and appraisers weigh in on the equation used to determine what a home is worth.By Claire Easley At a time when home prices seem to be fluctuating by the day, the question of what a home is worth and how that value is determined has become a fiery debate, with appraisals at the eye of the storm. While appraisers have been condemned for inflating home prices during the boom, many builders believe that the pendulum has now swung too far in the opposite direction as appraisers hand out price tags for much less than builders or homeowners were expecting. Add in energy-efficient and green features and the equation gets even worse, builders report.And builders aren't the only ones complaining. "Banks are hiring subpar appraisers," says Ken Chitester, director of communications at the Chicago-based Appraisal Institute. The problem, he says, harks back to 2009, when the federal government responded to the inflated values of the boom by stipulating that firewalls must be placed between a lender and an appraiser. That led to the rise of appraisal management companies (AMCs), which act as middle men for appraisers, generally on a contract basis.The trouble comes in, Chitester says, when AMCs take a large cut of appraisal fees, keeping prices down by forcing the appraisers to take a smaller cut than experienced appraisers used to be accustomed to. "You don't get on the list if you don't accept bargain bottom fees and conform to very fast turn-around times," which encourages use of the least experienced appraisers, he says. When more experienced appraisers are used, he argues, the lower rates pressure them to skimp on quality. "If you were making more money, you have to make up in quantity what you were making in higher charges."Appraisers certainly aren't the only ones frustrated at the current condition of things."I've got black eyes and bruised knuckles," quips Ben Spofford, owner of Aurora, Ohio-based Benjamin Builders, when asked about his experience dealing with appraisers. "A local builder really has to put up a fight."A main point of contention Spofford and other builders cite is appraisers' use of foreclosures as comparable properties. That comparison may be legitimate, Spofford says, "but it has to be apples to apples. That repossessed property has to be in pristine condition to be equivalent. A listed foreclosure at a comparable square footage may still need a lot of work."But the equation is somewhat more complicated, says Betty Graham, senior vice president of operations at Fairway Independent Mortgage Corp., a national mortgage financing firm that also deals in appraisals. While agreeing that new construction requires new-construction comps whenever possible, Graham argues that if foreclosures are a prominent feature in a given market, they affect home values for the entire neighborhood, new or used.In an effort to avoid the foreclosures-as-comparables mess, many builders are aiming for niches that foreclosures don't fit. "When you're building on family land or larger parcels or custom stuff, the [appraisal] battle can be won, but it won't be if you don't fight for it," says Chad Ray, owner of Olde Heritage Builders in Zebulon, N.C. "But if you've got five foreclosures and three short sales [comparable to your property], I don't have the answer. How do you win that battle?"Another differentiator, of course, is green and energy-efficient features. But while helping fight off some comparables, the nature of these features also makes them some of the hardest to have recognized on an appraiser's checklist."Anything you can't put a dollar figure on is undervalued," says Ray. "We're adding 2% to 3% of the cost of the home to include Energy Star features. Our HERS scores are between 52 and 56, and our homes are 45% more energy efficient. There's numbers there. We can say we're adding $60 a month on mortgage bills but we're saving the customer $120 a month on energy bills, so they'll recognize that. But things like indoor air quality, lower carbon footprints, lower maintenance costs—you can't put a dollar sign on it, so they're just not seeing it. But when a family with an asthmatic child moves into our home and they breath better, they sleep better, and they have fewer sick days, you ask those families what's more important, and they'll say those features are far more important than saving $70 on a heating bill.""It's a really, really tough topic," Graham acknowledges, adding that at the end of the day, it will depend on what a local market will pay for. "In some [places] such as California, where green features are really important to buyers, people will pay more for it." But in areas such as the Midwest, she says, buyers won't want to pay more for it, so appraisers won't consider it added value.In order to combat the ambiguity problem, Jay Hankla, general manager at Shaddock Homes, which builds energy-efficient homes in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, believes monetary values should be assigned to given standards. "If you're Energy Star 3.0 compliant, you should get an automatic $10,000 or $15,000 added to your house," he says.Until that day comes, however, builders seem to be focusing on educating their appraisers in an effort to help them see the value of the features they've included, pointing out when homes will cost less to operate and maintain.The best thing builders can do, Chitester says, is provide appraisers with any and all data they have on their home and its expected performance. "Things like ratings information, blueprints, specifications of a property's conservation features—whatever you can get your hands on," he says. "Appraisers are very interested in working with builders and others to collect green building data."And at the end of the day, Ray says, it behooves the builders to take responsibility to ensure that the appraiser is qualified. "It's your right and your duty to ask for a competent appraiser who has been trained in the value of green homes. If the bank doesn't assign you one, ask for a different appraiser until you get one."According to Paul Grutsis, an appraiser based in San Bernardino, Calif., a builder can help make his or her case by finding sales similar to the home being estimated that will help to support a given price. To ensure that such comps are available, one builder, who asked to remain nameless, has taken to paying multiple listing service agents to list his company's new homes so that when appraisers are looking for appropriate comparables they can find them."We spend a lot of time educating an appraiser as to the costs of what it took to build," Spofford says. "We'll go through room by room if we have to. I mean, am I not entitled to a profit?"But appraisers argue that building costs and value don't necessarily match up. Chitester points to the Cost vs. Value Report conducted every year by Builder's sister publication, Remodeling, as a resource to find out what features are valued in different markets around the country. "Cost and value," he says, "are not the same."Claire Easley is a senior editor at Builder.Learn more about markets featured in this article: Dallas, TX, Greenville, SC.

The rapid and alarming decline of the Yahoo Empire is sad and troubling.
It's troubling to see Yahoo go from being a vibrant and dynamic company into an entity that lacks a vision of what its wants to be and who it wants to serve. From acquisitions that it failed to make (e.g. Facebook) to acquisitions that it made but did little or nothing with (e.g. Flickr, del.icio.us), Yahoo has been flailing strategically while blowing chance after chance to get people excited its direction and future.
Maybe the beginning of the end was the appointment of Terry Semel as CEO, who may go down as Yahoo's John Sculley. Semel was intent on leveraging Yahoo's traffic to maximize revenue. From a business perspective, it was probably the right decision but this laser-like focus on cash took away from the fact Yahoo made its mark by delivering solid services that people used and enjoyed.
And Yahoo used to have a joie de vivre, ranging from its funny name to the purple furniture that dominated its corporate headquarters. You haven't been able to equate fun and Yahoo for a long time.
Meanwhile, Google kept rumbling strategically with a savvy combination of organically-produced services (e.g. Google Reader) and strategic acquisitions (e.g. Blogger.com, YouTube) that attracted users even though many of them had no business model or entered markets with established players (e.g. GMail).
So, what now for Yahoo!?
There will certainly need to be a purging of the ranks above and beyond the rats now leaving the sinking ship. Jerry Yang will have to step down as CEO, and Yahoo's directors and/or directors will have to attract a new management team with the strategic freedom to do whatever is needed.
This could involve selling Yahoo, merging with someone else (e.g. AOL), closing down or selling parts of the business that no longer make sense or fit strategically. Maybe Flickr, for example, should be sold or taken public to extract value. Maybe del.icio.us should be sold as well.
The reality is Yahoo blew it, and gone from being the world's leading online player to a struggling wanna-be in no time at all.
It's a shame, really.
More: Steve Hodson has some thoughts on how to bring Yahoo back from the grave, including the immediate purchase of Friendfeed. As well, The Economist has an interesting story looking at the fates of eBay, Yahoo and Amazon. It suggests that the "tortoise" (Amazon) has now passed the hares (eBay, Yahoo!)

The general government sector is made up of those units providing services for collective or individual consumption that are not sold at market prices. These units are usually funded by compulsory payments from units in other sectors (taxes) and may be involved in the redistribution of national income (for example, benefits and state pension).
The sector includes, for example, government departments and agencies, local authorities, the devolved administrations in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales, the state education system, the National Health Service, the armed forces and the police. Non-departmental public bodies are also included in the general government sector.
The United Kingdom National Accounts: The Blue Book 2013 presents estimates for the general government sector and sub-sector breakdowns for:
· central government,
· local government.
Further information on sector classifications and classification decisions can be found in the National Account Classification section of the Office for National Statistics website.
A positive figure represents net lending, a negative figure net borrowing. In 2012, net borrowing by central government was £94.1 billion, a fall of more than one quarter from £120.4 billion in 2011. Central government has been a net borrower throughout the period 2002 to 2012. Net borrowing increased from £21.7 billion in 2002 to a peak of £153.3 billion in 2009. Since 2009 net borrowing has fallen by more than one third to £94.1 billion in 2012.
In 2012, local government borrowed £4.7 billion, a rise of £3.5 billion from 2011. Since 2004 local government has been a net borrower.

House Call: Tonya & Bryan's Vintage Mix
Location: Tennessee
Tonya and Bryan have pulled together a great looking home filled with vintage pieces. They write: Our home is 2 bedroom, 1200 square feet and was built in 1936. We like the older style of the home so we have made no major modifications, only paint, new flooring, light fixtures and new windows. When we bought the house it had holes in the walls, torn wallpaper, old light fixtures, a moldy basement, loose parquet flooring you could move around like puzzle pieces and dry rotted window frames. We corrected all the cosmetic issues and then the rest was just decorating to our taste....
We love white, bright red and green. Sounds like Christmas until you see we mix in a lot of other colors too. We love vintage and have lots and lots of Etsy finds scattered about. Only the essential furnishings in our home that should be bought new, like the mattresses, were bought new.
We live in a pretty conservative town where everyone's home looks like it was decorated straight out of Ethan Allen's gallery. So, it feels good when we have guest over that tell me that our home has motivated them to go their own way and stop decorating for those who might visit instead of those who live there. Most people plunder around the whole time they are over just looking at all there is to see.
My biggest surprise was having a lady who was quite elderly just take over and start giving tours of the home at a cast party that we had for the local theater. Our house is decorated like tweens live here because we both enjoy toys so much. It really surprised me that someone older would enjoy it so much too.
Thanks, Tonya & Bryan!

Some fun elements and colors! But brace yourself, for the comments on the 'Keep Calm' poster!
Love it!!! Love the mixture of colors!!! thanks for sharing with us :D
By the way,
where did you get that "keep calm poster"? Lol
Luvmodern seen that one coming!! lol :D Thanks ;)
That green. That gorgeous, mid-century/arts and crafts bungalow green. I love it. Name please?
Love love love the plates display. And I usually don't like them at all.
Definitely a fun home! The plates display is awesome and I love the mix of furniture.
It doesn't surprise me one bit that an older person would love your cute apartment! It looks so much like my Nana's apartment when I was a kid, very cozy and old-fashioned, and the same type of furniture. I'm surprised young people like that look, not surprised older people would like it. Looks great!
well done with the plates!
I LOVE your place! Thanks so much for sharing it with us! I love all of your vintage touches and have been on a green/red kick myself!
Behind the TV ... is that a Margaret Kilgallen 'Fancy" print? If so, where on earth can I get one???
love the plate display... and that green paint color!
what color paint is that?
where is the "Fancy" print from????
Lol, PowerPuff girl pillow! Love your place and also like the wall of plates! Nice.
luv luv luv those plates. Im like auburny, i dont really get down with the plates on the wall, but this is really cute.
Also diggin that coffee table!
Very cute place! Did you guys paint the fireplace or was it already painted? We keep finding houses that have REALLY ugly bricks that don't seem to match and always think "oh, we can just paint them" but it's such a scary thing, to paint something like bricks. I like how yours turned out. :)
And I really like your plates!
I love the plate display. How are they secured to the wall?
The fancy painting is a collaboration I did with Bryan. He drew and I filled in. It is our little tribute to Margaret Kilgallen because we love her work so much. We used the word Fancy because I couldn't recall her ever using that word in her work.
I will have to check about that paint color but I'm sure I can find it somewhere.
We used plate hangers to hang the plates. You can find them in the hardware section of most department stores. They are very inexpensive.
The fireplace was already painted when we bought the house but it was one of the things that drew us here. I wouldn't hesitate to paint a brick fireplace now that I've seen how well it can be done. If it had been left up to me on the start, I would probably have been too scared to try.
We have a home set on flickr if you'd like to see more of the house. These are just a small sampling. You can find the set <A href=" here.">http://www.flickr.com/photos/uglyisthenewpretty/sets/72157612319506099/">here.
I get the keep calm thing. It does need replacing but I'm still happy to have help out with buying handmade.
Thanks everyone for your kind words. They are very much appreciated.
Great use of colors. I especially dig the assymetrical plate display rounding the corner.
Your right about how conservative the town is, and everyone's home looks straight out of Ethan Allen's my father in law lives there as well and what do you think his house looks like it was decorated straight out of Ethan Allen's! Nice to see something different cute house! If yall buy used don't forget Watertown's mile long yard sale coming up I found a few vintage pieces there last year great little town!
I like how your plate arrangement makes them look like bubbles floating up the wall. Very lovely home.
love how that dresser tucks into the corner... and the lamp that's the same color as the walls... very nice!
"So, it feels good when we have guest over that tell me that our home has motivated them to go their own way and stop decorating for those who might visit instead of those who live there."
I have been in homes that are decorated for the latter and, while they are magazine lovely, I can never imagine how people are content to live, sprawl, curl up in such houses. Good for you! Your space looks like people live there, and that's a good thing.
The way you've arranged your plates is so appealing. I don't even like plates!
I like the way you didn't put the lamp-stand in the "obligatory" corner. It is the off center decor that makes it feel funky and classy at the same time.
beautiful use of colors, I love this home. . .
This is so dang cute! Love the sofa.
please oh please what is that gorgeous color green called?
ah yes and the lamps? I adore them!
what a great mix of modern vintage. where do you shop vintage in that area? In my quick 2 day stay, it seemed TN was similar to TX and hidden pockets of Cal; lots of mid century that you can happen upon.
Love your home!! The post for more pictures of your home does not work:(

This review is from: Linkworld TH-TUBE Thermal Tube for Intel Chassis Air Guide
Pros: Cheap, Sturdy enough.... comes with screws?
Cons: None
Other Thoughts: I actually attached this directly to the stock cpu cooler fan. This lets the cpu extend to the ventilation in the side of my case. I then covered the rest of the ventilation with clear plastic sheet. So for 3 dollars i took a poorly designed economy case and turned it into a proper home for my beast.

CPU fan is cool air intake
This review is from: Linkworld TH-TUBE Thermal Tube for Intel Chassis Air Guide
Pros: length extendable right onto the CPU's fan. Flare end means side panel hole doesn't have to line up exactly. Outside air obviously cooler than recirculating CPU's hot exaust back through itself over and over.
Cons: telescopes just 25MilliMeters this version.
Other Thoughts: Use to have to rob these from discarded PCs.

|Stop Writing Press Releases. Start Writing News Releases.
Have you been trying to drum up publicity for your business with no success? Recommending that you stop writing press releases and start writing news releases is not a play on words, but sound advice, says communications expert Philip Yaffe.
In common parlance, "press release" and "news release" mean the same thing. However, the terminology people use often betrays a fundamental difference in how they put this information together and how well it is accepted by the media.
Early in my career, I was editor of a daily newspaper and later a writer with The Wall Street Journal. One of my jobs was to screen submissions to decide which ones we would print and which ones we would throw away.
Approximately 80 85% of submissions failed the first screening; a life or death decision usually made within 60 seconds or less. On the other hand, the vast majority of those that survived this first screening also survived the second one and were ultimately published.
What made the difference? Basically, it was in how the author of the document viewed the material being submitted.
One of my jobs was to screen submissions to decide which ones we would print and which ones we would throw away. Approximately 80 85% of submissions failed the first screening; a life or death decision usually made within 60 seconds or less.
In both cases, the submitter had something to gain if we published the release, i.e. positive publicity. However, in the first case, the focus was on only how the submitter would benefit from publication. In the second, it was on both how the submitter and our readers would benefit.
A Concrete Example
If all this sounds a bit theoretical, here is an example to make it more concrete.
After leaving The Wall Street Journal, I was an account executive with a major international press relations agency. One of my subordinates presented me with a typically self-serving press release he wanted to distribute on behalf of his client.
The headline was something like: Egotistical Industries gains major new contract.
"Tom Bighead today announced that Egotistical Industries has won a $350,000 contract to supply window sealants for the new sports centre currently under construction in Baden-Baden, Germany. Egotistical Industries was founded in 1989 by Mr. Bighead and his brother George, and is now considered to be the leading company in its field. Last year the company's sales were ...."
In the fifth paragraph, if anyone would read that far, we learned that the sealant the company would supply had the property of not freezing in cold weather, so work on the sports centre could be carried out in December, rather than waiting for warmer weather in March or April.
This of course was the true story. If you are a reader of a professional construction magazine, you couldn't care less that Egotistical Industries has a new contract. By contrast, you could be vitally interested in knowing that you could possibly gain three months on your construction schedule by using Egotistical's product.
More importantly, editors of professional construction magazines would view the release this way.
Remember: editors are vitally concerned about what their readers want to read, because if they lose readership, they lose their jobs. The real target of your release must be the editors. They are the gatekeepers. If they value the release, it gets published; if they don't, it doesn't.
We therefore rewrote the information into a news release with the headline: Windows in Baden-Baden Sports Centre will be sealed in the dead of winter, saving the contractor approximately $30,000 in labor costs. The first paragraph, and as many additional paragraphs as necessary, elaborated on this very attractive theme. The background information about the company came at the end of the release where it justifiably belonged.
The Short Road to Nowhere
Here's another example. As a marketing communication consultant, I was asked by a client to write a release announcing an important new service. I was told to limit the release to 400 words.
"Why 400 words?" I asked.
"Well, it's our policy to keep our releases short. Journalists like that."
The problem was that I couldn't find a way of saying everything that needed to be said in only 400 words. The client was insistent. I finally produced something at 400 words which the client felt was exactly what was wanted. But when the release was issued, no one published it.
The function of an effective (press) release is to give information, not challenge journalists to find it.
The client called a few newspapers and magazines to find out why. The answer was that they just didn't see anything that would be of interest to their readers. I then called a couple of these newspapers and magazines and asked, "Do you think you readers would be interested in X."
"Yes, why didn't you put that in the release?"
Well, I had. But under the stricture of the 400-word limit, it had become so severely condensed as to be cryptic. It was there if you knew what to look for. The function of an effective release is to give information, not challenge journalists to find it.
I rewrote the release. This time it came out to 650 words and was widely published. Why? Because it had been transformed from a press release, i.e. what the client wanted to say, into a news release what journalists believed their readers wanted and needed to know.
Each time you start tapping at the keyboard, keep uppermost in mind the aspects that make a release a "news release."

Chapter 60 Reviews
Is Mel going to be ok?
Thankfully the school bell rang just a few minutes after I entered the school and I hurried to my first class which was Ancient History. I really didn't like the fact that it was my first class. I wasn't ready to behave like an emotionless student. I was afraid that I might break down in class when I see Gerard because he reminds me of that night. I slowly unpacked my bag and sat on my seat and stared absently at the whiteboard.
"Hey Mel" a student in my class greeted me.
I heard her but I didn't respond to her. I just forgot that she actually greeted me.
"Um… Mel are you okay?" she asked.
Again I heard her but soon after forgot if she even said something.
"You look like a living zombie are you okay?" she waved her hand in front of me.
I clicked back to reality and smiled at her. "Sorry I was day dreaming"
"Oh, it's cool. You looked sad so I thought there was something wrong"
"No I'm fine"
I didn't notice that Gerard actually entered the room and sat next to me. He watched me intensely which made me uncomfortable.
The student turned back to her other friend and started chatting to them.
"You okay?" Gerard asked.
The sound of his voice reminded me of that night too. He asked me the same thing after he defeated him. I nodded, "I'm fine"
"You're pale" he stated. "The girl is right you do look like a living zombie"
I shrugged my shoulders. "Did he remember that you bashed him?"
"Uh… I passed him in the hall way but he seems normal" he bit his bottom lip. "I don't think he remembers at all"
I sighed, "That's good"
"You shouldn't say that. You should go to the police"
"Shh!" I waved my hand just inches away from his lips. "Don't say anything here"
"Ok" he apologized.
Our teacher just entered the room and with a brief sorry she started her class. We didn't say a single word to each other.
The bell rang for recess and he and I walked out of class together.
"I need to talk to you" he mumbled for only me to hear.
"There's nothing to talk about" I hushed.
"Yes there is. I'm worried about you Melody" he gently grabbed my arm and swiftly went through
the crowd; heading towards the library.
I was taken aback. As far as I know this is the first time he actually used my name. He didn't call me princess like he use to, he used my actual name and I'm shocked of it. Suddenly I felt Gerard tightening his grip on my arm and I looked up to see why.
Matt was walking with his jock friends just in front of me.
My knees felt weak and I was sure they were wobbling to keep me upright. My breath got caught in my throat and my eyes never left Matt.
He unfortunately noticed me and stood in front of me in the middle of the hall way. "Hello Mel" he greeted me.
I gave a small brief fake smile.
"Why are you hanging out with this loser?" he eyed Gerard.
At that moment I was angry at him, how dare he looked at Gerard with disgust.
"She has her reasons" Gerard narrowed his eyes.
"And why are you holding her arm? Let her go" Matt eyed Gerard's hand that was linked with my
"None of your business. Since when did you care anyway? Last time I checked you weren't her boyfriend" Gerard gritted his teeth.
"Ha! I care all the time man. I may not be her boyfriend but I will be soon. Last time I checked she doesn't hang out with losers like you"
My legs just then gave up on me and I couldn't stand upright anymore.
Gerard quickly grabbed my waist before I fell to the ground.
"Are you okay Mel?" Matt asked looking concerned.
"She's fine" Gerard said sharply.
"No she's not, she's pale"
"I see that. I'll take her to the sick bay" Gerard held my weight on him.
"No I will!" Matt said and took my arm.
"Leave me alone!" I yelled at him. I didn't realise that I said that. It was like my automatic reaction.
Matt stepped back looking confused, "Honey don't you want me to take you to sick bay?"
I shook my head.
"See?" Gerard smirked and walked down the hall way as I pressed my weight on him.
I had my eyes closed the whole time. I tried to think of something else, anything else. I heard Gerard talking to the woman at the office; he told her that I was feeling faint. Next thing I knew I was on a soft couch like bed in a small plain room. Gerard said on a chair beside me as he watched.
I've never actually seen Gerard look concerned and full of sympathy before. "It's cold" I muttered.
Gerard quickly stood up and covered me with a grey woollen blanket. "Better?"
I nodded. "I think there's something wrong with me" my voice was barely a whisper.
"It's normal. You went through something really awful. It's alright to feel like this" he
I quickly partly sat up; "I need to vomit" I was embarrassed. How could I vomit in front if him?
He quickly grabbed a bucket nearly by and held it under my head just in time when I started to vomit.
I took the tissue and wiped my mouth with it. I was seriously embarrassed.
"It's ok, it all comes from shock" he said.
He sure did know everything. He grabbed my hand. "You're hands are cold" he stated.
"I am cold"
He grabbed my other hand and slightly rubbed his hands over mine.
I watched him. Why would he do this? Why can't he go away? "You can go now you know? I'm fine now"
"No, I'll stay. I'm worried about you"
Again I was taken aback. He was worried about me? After me being a bitch to him? I nodded and looked around the small room. The walls were a soft grey colour which matched with the two couch like bed on either sides of the room. It was occupied with everything from first aid kits to buckets to vomit in.
Just then the door to the room opened showing a familiar girl. She looked sick too as she laid on the bed.
"Hey Mel" she greeted me tiredly.
I gave a smile as a response.
"New boyfriend?" she pointed at Gerard.
Gerard smirked.
I shook my head, "No"
"Not yet" Gerard mumbled.
I knew I heard him correctly. It's a joke right?
Ha Ha!
Lol i felt like writing another chappie!
Please TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK
