About the Pictures Image Gallery
A simple machine is a mechanical device that changes the direction or magnitude of a force. In general, they can be defined as the simplest mechanisms that use mechanical advantage (also called leverage) to multiply force. A simple machine uses a single applied force to do work against a single load force. Ignoring friction losses, the work done on the load is equal to the work done by the applied force. They can be used to increase the amount of the output force, at the cost of a proportional decrease in the distance moved by the load. The ratio of the output to the input force is called the mechanical advantage.

How to Clean a House
Have you ever wanted to clean your house? Well this article will help you get started!
1Get started. Decide how clean you want your house to be and how much time you have. This will help you decide how to set up your cleaning schedule. Be honest with yourself about what you can do.
- Attempt to delegate tasks. If you live with other people, cleaning the house should not be exclusively your responsibility! You may have to take on leadership by setting up a rotational cleaning schedule, but it's better than having to do this backbreaking work alone. Make sure the tasks assigned are age appropriate (i.e. grade school children can pick up their bedroom floors, teenagers can clean the garage or bathroom)
- Some people prefer to put off cleaning as long as possible, then have a big cleaning campaign now and then.
- For the "average" busy person it works better to do a little bit every day so that the work doesn't pile up, and also have major-cleaning day a few times a month. What style you prefer is up to you (unless you have roommates of course).
- Always have a cleaning checklist and a "plan of attack". Know which rooms you plan to start and finish your cleaning in (generally back to front door works best). This will help expedite the process and ensure you are not duplicating your efforts, especially if more than one person is involved in the cleaning.
2Cleaning glass/mirrors. It is commonly thought that glass cleaner does the cleaning. It's no substitute for soapy water!
- First, wash your glass (including windows and mirrors) with a solution of warm or hot water, dish soap and a rag, sponge, or squeegee. Powdered no-scratch cleaner works fantastic for cleaning mirrors, glass, ceramics, and metals because it scrubs off hard water residue without scratching the surface.
- Wipe down surface with a dry lint-free cloth or lint-free paper towels.
- If you want to clean glass and be environmentally friendly, clean the glass with vinegar and water, dry with a lint-free cloth, and rub the glass with newspaper. No streaks! Make sure you use some elbow grease -- it requires pressure to properly clean glass.
- Alternatively, spray glass cleaner on a paper towel and clean the glass surface. The glass cleaner acts as a shield to help keep spots and dust easy to remove. When misused, glass "cleaner" will leave streaks. You can also use old newspaper to wipe the glass surface after washing; the glass will be streak free and this is a great way to reuse old newspaper.
3Polish furniture. Like glass cleaner, furniture polish isn't meant to be a cleaner. However, it can be used for cleaning. If you'd like to use furniture polish, make sure to carefully read the labels and find one made specifically for what you need.
- Some furniture can handle water, and those that can should be used with the soapy solution from step two. Be sure to quickly dry off these surfaces.
- Next, apply the suggested amount of furniture polish and wipe away according to directions. This will keep dust from magnetizing to your furniture.
4Using all-purpose cleaners. Be cautious with all-purpose cleaners. They aren't always safe for every purpose you'll have in mind. Make sure to thoroughly read labels before purchasing to ensure it fits your needs.
- Do not mix cleaners! Use them one at a time and follow the directions on the label.
5Working outside. Outdoor tasks can help create a better living environment. Raking leaves helps to prevent mold growth that happens in wet climates after raining. Raking regularly will also assist in dropping the bug count in your yard. Raking will also leave your yard looking neat and cared for and offer more room for grass to grow and sunlight to reach. Alternatively, if you have a leaf blower this can be used as a time saving method.
- Trimming/pruning Trimming back plants (hedges, rose bushes, etc.) can help prevent water lines and dirt from getting on the walls of your home.
6Do the laundry with a washing machine or by hand. The following are generic instructions for a washing machine:
- First, begin the water at the needed temperature and level.
- Next, pour in the needed amount of laundry detergent where the water is pouring.
- If you use fabric softener, a great thing to use is the fabric softener balls that you pour your softener into and just throw in at the beginning. (This saves you from having to wait for the rinse cycle.) If you use one, do this with the detergent. If you put your clothes in first, you risk staining your clothes with the coloring in these liquids.
7Drying your laundry. The way you transfer your clothes into your dryer can affect the way they come out. Once the entire washing cycle is complete, shake to remove the twisting of fabric and the heavy wrinkles then toss into your dryer. This process can help prevent wrinkling and helps your clothes to dry more efficiently. It also helps to empty the dryer while your clothes are still warm.
8Clean the floor.
- Vacuuming is the most effective way to clean up all the dust and other loose junk that accumulates on your floor (and it's practically a daily necessity when you have shedding pets). If you're always putting off vacuuming, try using a dry dust mop (the microfiber kind works well) if you have tile/wood floors.
- You can use a carpet sweeper (non-electric machine you push that has brushes underneath) if you have carpet. Both involve less fuss than getting out the vacuum and will let you go longer between vacuuming.
9Mop your floor. Some the new and innovative substitutes for mopping can be helpful but they are still no substitute for a good rag mop for getting rid of glued-on grime.
- If you have tile or textured floors, nothing else will get the dirt out of the cracks and depressions.
- There are a vast number of options for rag mops. Rag mops with real fabric scrub better and last longer than mops with a sponge. With a good rag mop, one thing is guaranteed; when you use a little elbow grease, your floors will look fantastic. Use hot water and the appropriate cleaner for your floor (again, read the labels).
10Washing the dishes. These save a lot of work when you use them right. Your dishwasher works best when you load it completely and run it right after you use your dishes.
- Big things like pots and pans are usually best hand-washed because they don't fit well in the dishwasher.
- Dishes wear out more quickly when washed by machine than by hand because the dishwasher's soap is abrasive, so heirloom china, delicate wine glasses, and other really fragile things should be carefully hand-washed instead.
11Hand-washing dishes: It's much easier to wash your dishes if you do it right after you use them; you will rarely need to soak anything or scrub hard because the food juices won't have a chance to dry and harden.
- Just wet your sponge or scrubber brush with hot water, squirt on some dish soap, wipe each dish (both sides!), and rinse thoroughly with hot water.
- If you use the soaking method, picture this: a bucket of brown water with dirt, grease, food particles, millions of germs, and a lot of other things that come off your dirty dishes. Now you know how disgusting (and unsanitary) that soaking water can be. If you need to soak a casserole that has baked-on gunk for ten or fifteen minutes, that's okay, but when you can, it's usually better to just wash the dishes promptly and avoid soaking.
- Either way you do it, place the thoroughly rinsed dishes in a clean drying rack and allow to air dry.
- Be sure to let your brush, sponge, and dish towel dry between uses to keep them from accumulating germs too (see tips below).
12Fighting fleas. Your best defense against fleas is your vacuum cleaner! Besides not having carpet, that is. Carpet is a breeding ground for fleas (not to mention all the other things it's good for holding). If you have pets, vacuum daily. This will keep them out of the place they are successful in breeding; where there is pet and human dander.
- To kill fleas without using poisons, after each vacuuming, sprinkle borax on your carpets and let it work its way into the carpet backing. You'll never have fleas in the house if you do this. You can find the Borax in the laundry detergent area of grocery stores, usually on the top shelf.
13Walk through your house and complete any remaining room-specific cleaning necessary. These include:
- Emptying trash bins and taking out the trash
- Cleaning the kitchen table
- Cleaning the microwave
- Changing bedsheets, pillowcases, and duvet covers

Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
We are a bit smarter today because of you.
- As you are cleaning, walk around the house with a garbage bag and a laundry bag. This way you can pick up as you go and won't have to walk back and forth.
- Don't throw your sponge in with the dishes while they dry. Your sponge is heavily soiled with bacteria and germs. If you have a dishwasher, sponges can be cleaned by washing them with your dishes. It's very important to replace sponges frequently. Don't forget to rinse them out in hot water, then wring them out. Sterilize your sponge by zapping it for one minute in the microwave. Make sure your sponge is WET before microwaving it! Not wetting it first can start a fire. It doesn't have to be dripping wet, damp is just fine.
- Wash inside the fridge with bicarbonate of soda to get rid of any smells.
- Work from the top down, if at all possible. You don't want to vacuum and then get crumbs all over the floor, or dust the bottom of something and knock more dust down when you work your way up onto the previously uncleaned areas.
- Make a habit of putting things back where they belong after use.
- Clean so that you can vacuum, sweep, and mop all rooms together so that your hot water doesn't get cold and you don't have to go from one task to another.
- Dish washing liquid is an excellent way to get rid of the scum in the bottom of the tub, just like it cuts the grease off your dishes! Then continue cleaning as usual with Lysol or other antibacterial cleanser.
- Use car wax on showers to make it stay cleaner longer (not the floor; you might slip). For cleaning glass, use a half cup of ammonia and 8 drops of dish soap in a gallon of water to get it all cleansed.
- Many people swear by a crumpled ball of newspaper for use with your window cleaner (instead of paper towels).
- If your friends are willing to help, cleaning with friends can help pass the time, and give you someone to talk to while you clean house.
- Using mismatched socks for your ways to be a good house cleaner furniture duster is perfect and can save you money. Old t-shirts can be cut into rags, too.
- If you are cleaning you might want to clean the the living room first because people see the living typically before the rest of the interior.
- Washing powder is versatile as it's not only limited to washing clothes, use it in cleaning ovens to remove grease, in cleaning the bathroom as it is less abrasive and mix a handful with vacuum soap for clean and fresh smell.
- Carry a caddy around with you while you are cleaning. This makes it easy to reach for the things you need & will probably save your back a lot of stress!
- Some cleaners are NOT safe for your skin, linoleum flooring, wood flooring, surfaces and many things. This cannot be stressed enough, READ THE LABELS. It only takes a second, but could save you hundreds of dollars in the event of a mistake. If you've read the labels and still aren't sure, test in an inconspicuous area first.
- DO NOT mix cleaners! Doing this can create very dangerous chemicals. Use them one-at-a-time and follow the safety warnings on the label.
- Make sure your sponge is damp before placing it into the microwave. Also, be careful with handling the sponge after it has been in the microwave as it will be hot!

Five Easy-To-Do Auto Maintenance Tips
Have you ever heard about your friend or family member who has the "old faithful" auto that's still running like a champ, even after 200,000 miles? The functioning and operations of an auto are mostly the same, and how well you keep up on the maintenance of your vehicle will determine how much life you can expect to get from your vehicle. If you take care of your auto, your auto will take care of you. Here are five simple auto maintenance tips that will help you get the most from your valued auto.
Learn How to Make Small Repairs Yourself
Probably the most important auto maintenance tip is to learn how to do at least the minor repairs yourself. Doing minor repairs can help you to understand how your auto works; this way if you ever need any large repairs done by a garage, you're much more knowledgeable about your auto and you won't be taken advantage of by greedy mechanics.
Check Your Air Filter Often
This is perhaps the cheapest and easiest auto maintenance tip. The air filter in your auto is responsible for ensuring that clean air is traveling into your intake and to your fuel. Oxygen is necessary to ignite the fuel to keep the combustion process going in your vehicle. The dirtier your air filter is, the more fuel is burning off and igniting with that little bit of air that is present in an effort to keep your auto running.
Monitor Your Tire Tread and Keep Them Properly Inflated.
Part of your fuel efficiency comes from how well your vehicle's tires are maintained. Under inflated tires will cause you to burn more fuel due to the auto doing more work under the load of bad tires. Worn tread also causes this. Not only does checking your tires keep your auto running efficiently, but it will also prevent a tire blowout from occurring. Additionally, properly treaded tires can help to prevent hydroplaning on wet roads.
Change Your Oil
The oil in your auto keeps all of the running components as well as joints and bearings lubricated so that they can operate as required. Dirty oil puts small particles on these important components and jeopardizes their function. Once too much dirty oil enters your auto's system, it takes a lot of work to flush it all out. Additionally, know when to change your oil. The myth was that the oil needs to be changed at 3,000 miles, but newer autos can have their oil changed out at 5,000 mile intervals.
Keep Your Eye on Fluid Levels
Besides your oil, the fluids in your vehicle have a reservoir with minimum and maximum levels. Keeping the fluids at the maximum level gives you the best piece of mind, but the fluid levels are fine if they are in the middle of the lines. Most importantly, make sure your coolant levels are where they need to be. This keeps your engine at a safe operating temperature. Overheating of the engine can occur if the coolant is low.

Those cold, drab dormitory rooms are things of the past — or at least they can be. Leaving your parents' cozy home for a room with two beds, boring furniture, plain walls and cold floors can be a shock for freshmen. Adjusting to challenging classes is hard enough without having to deal with anything-but-warm living conditions.
Atlanta interior designer Brian Patrick Flynn, the associate producer and on-air designer for Movie & A Makeover on TBS, knows how to turn a room inside-out. You don't have to pay a professional to do the work, though. Flynn gives us some DIY re-decorating tips, based on his signature stamp on a University of Georgia dorm in 2007. You can take these concepts and make them fit your budget.
You may not be able to paint your walls, but you can use the advice on color schemes. Maybe you can't fit a sofa in you room, but you can get a comfortable chair instead of using your bed for seating. No hanging lamps? What about cool, decorative ones instead of the boring lighting in the room. You get the idea. Good luck:
1. Don't paint the walls in school colors: "It's cliche," Flynn said. "Use a complementary color, and the school colors as the backdrop. In this design, he used turquoise as the primary color, and red and black as accents.
Note: If you can't paint your walls, don't sweat it. Use the color theme suggestions to add some pop to your room decor.
2. Go modular: "This way, you're not locked into one thing." Flynn likes the idea of using couches that can be used in L-shapes, for instance, to give you options in a small space. "Three years later, in your apartment, you can change the way it's laid out." Sofa beds, because of their versatility, are also good options.
Note: No room for a couch? How about a comfortable, cool chair? That's far better than using your bed for your primary seating. This club bean bag chair for about $54 from Wal-Mart is pretty cool.
3. Build a loft: If you're allowed the latitude to make changes in the room, consider adding an inexpensive loft area using plywood, 2-foot-by-4 foot support boards and bedding. Flynn said it is not difficult at all to attach these to the wall. It takes a little more work than plopping down on a twin size bed, but if you choose this option, you'll have more space for a living room-like feel below.
Note: A stretch for a lot of people. But if need more room, try using concrete blocks or RackRisers to lift your bed, giving you more space.
4. Lighting: Lights can dramatically change the tone of a room. You can purchase nice lamps for little money. You can also go in Flynn's direction. "When I was 20, I never would've thought of this," he said. Buy a plug-in pendant and 'swag' the cord into the wall. Attach the chain or wire to a hook in the ceiling, swag it into a corner and use the outlet. "This overhead lighting will make the space a lot more inviting and add more task lighting for study time," he said. For an extra touch, add table top dimmers for about $12.
Note: This isn't a bad idea, but if you can't use a simple hook, look for a few decorative lamps at a yard sale. Your lights can make a huge difference in the room. Visit Target, Wal-Mart, Ikea, JC Penney and other similar stores to find one you'll like.
5. Multi-purpose table: Using a table with a center pole can turn an ordinary desktop into a four-seat dinner table, creative space, game table or study area. The butcher block ones will run you about $100.
Note: Couldn't possibly fit in your small space? You might purchase a couple nice tray tables that can stay up. You'll enjoy not eating late-night pizza off your lap. This one is nice — and on sale for $65 — from Overstock.com. It doesn't take this much; you can do a pretty simple one for $10 or so.
6. No more plastic crates: You don't have to do away with them entirely, but cube ottomans look better and can be just as spacious. They look more like furniture than storage space, but serve as a good place to hold video games, books and other smaller items.
Note: These are affordable and sleek. Sure, you can do the plastic crates. But why unless you have to. I found this one on Target.com for about $40. This one is even nicer, for $52.
7. Cold floors, be gone: "This is so easy; you can roll it up like an area rug, and it's super-duper easy to do," Flynn said. He's talking about Allure Stainmaster Vinyl Flooring. It's a thin laminate that adheres to itself, rather than the floor. That makes it easy to put down. It's about $25 a box, and an average dorm space might use about five-and-half boxes, Flynn said. "All you need is a blade knife to cut the ends to size and then snap each flat vinyl piece to the others." Maybe your roommate would be willing to split the cost!
Note: If this is too much, look for a decorative area rug to give the room a more homey feel. You can find college rugs here, starting at $69, but you can go with a simpler rug for about $12-$15 from an area store.
8. No ordinary picture: Rather than taping photos to your wall or cluttering your limited space with picture frames, take your favorite picture and have it blown up to larger than poster size. It makes a bigger statement.
Note: Small pictures are nice, too, but this takes up much less space, and for about the same cost. Enlarging a picture shouldn't cost you more than $10.
9. Comforter: Don't skimp on your comforter. You'll have to sleep under it every night, so make sure it's something that feels good to you. Choosing a solid pattern will give you more decorating options than a comforter with bold patterns.
Note: You can find comforter sets at area stores, many of which are holding sales right now. JC Penney has this really cute one for 50 percent off through Saturday. It's just $29.99!
10. Throw pillows: They nicely accent your room and provide comfort, as well. Plus, you can get quality ones without spending a great deal of money.
Note: Again, big statement, little money. This is an attractive three-pillow set on sale at Macy's for $22.
Bonus: Outfit your closet with items that will make life easier, like plastic hooks for hanging towels and shoe organizers that hang on the back of the door.
Here are some other college dorm room tips:
Don't leave home without these items
More decorating ideas; these on the cheap
Still more great ideas, like using plants and hanging curtains

Yeah great idea if you go somewhere that allows things like this to happem. At most major Universities in the State, you can not hang things on the walls let alone paint them. Georgia State does not even allow you to take their supplied furniture out of the room so to do all these things would be nearly impossible given the obstacles in the room now.
This is for some fantasy design school not college…

Yea, and who pays for all that stuff? The parents.
At my daughter's college you cannot put ANYTHING on the windows. No nails in the wall, etc.
There isn't enough room in her room for any furniture, like a sofa or dining table……..
This is silly……and expensive to say the least. Let them fix up their own apartments when they are out on their own, and off my dime!!!

Hello, what school is going to allow all of this? This is totally an unrealistic article if you are living on campus.
August 12th, 2009
9:44 am
Actually, this was room was done at UGA in '07. Many schools will let you paint the walls — as long as you re-paint with the original color when you leave. The flooring is simple and can be done because it doesn't adhere to the floor. You can also use area rugs. The hanging lamp requires nothing more than a simple hook; you can also use string lights. The cube ottomans? You can do that anywhere, even if it's a tight squeeze.
The table and the loft might be trickier, depending on the school and what it allows.
Throw pillows? Lamps? Comforters? Plants? Photos? Posters? These are within reach for most college students living in dormitories. And they don't cost a whole lot.

Let me add the sofa to the list of "stretch" items, along with the loft and table. Wouldn't have fit in my dorm room. But having a nice, comfortable chair — something other than leaning against the wall next to your bed — is a good idea if you can swing it.

August 12th, 2009

there are a lot of cheap ways to decorate a dorm in a way allowed by the college, but these are not them. colorful bedspreads, lamps (taking away the glare from overhead flourescents) and throwrugs are the best ways.

What dorm rooms are they looking at… How in the world do you put a dining table in the room. Why would you build a loft in a dorm room? It's hard enough trying to get your groove on in a regular dorm bed, now you have to worry about falling on the floor…
Whatever happen to the local carpet store selling carpet specific to your dorm and hanging a few pictures from the wall with 2 sided tape…
August 12th, 2009
2:23 pm
It looks really cool; too bad most universities won't allow something like this. I mean, painting walls? We can't even hang things from the walls…
August 12th, 2009
2:51 pm
Why not actually do some reporting and go to a real college campus in Georgia and see what real students are doing to make their new homes more comfortable! This article is totally unrealistic! There ARE a lot of good ideas out there that don't involve painting and putting holes in the wall, so please don't waste the reader's time with something that can never be implemented.

Cool Stuff! The white dining chairs look like the ones I purchased from http://www.CoolChairz.com! I got a set of 4 for around $600.

Some schools offer the option of the student purchasing a loft bed. I did so in 1989 at VA tech. My roommate put her bed under mine and we were able to fit a futon in the room. It came with a small table and we used it as a coffee table. Some things can be done. Depending on how the window is shaped, you can get a tension rod and hang curtains. Depending on the size of the room, you can get an area rug that covers almost the entire space. Remember, a loft raises the bed and allow for more floor space. I have seen it work.
When my daughter is accepted to the college of her choice, one thing we will do is visit the dorms before school ends the previuos year and get some decorating ideas. You don't have to spend a lot of money but I want her to feel comfortable in her new home.

Rana! Kudos to you and forget about the negative comments. I love it. I had a loft (yes Keep it Real!) back in 1984 at UGA…my roomate's father designed and built it for us in our Reed Hall dorm room and it just about doubled our living space. We each had our bed and the telephone ((corded in those days) on a shared table area "upstairs" that connected are beds which were on separate sides of the room. Our desks were under our respective beds thus giving us plenty of extra living space. I've got two teen daughters and they are looking forward to making their first home away from home their own… even though it will be their dorm space. Fabric covered or painted wallboard/thin plywood/even scrap cardboard boxes taped together will work when painting walls isn't an option. Two sided tape is a must. Stock up on plenty when moving in. I see the dining table as being a great substitute for desks. Choose one or the other. I think the table makes things more homey and civilized even though I ate at the dining hall or out most of the time. Lighting options are so fun these days. I think Rana made excellent use of the money spent. She wasn't saying to spoil the kids with a lavishly furnished condo. She is showing how to glam up your dorm…good grief JJ. Some people need to lighten up and enjoy the "paper". Keep the decorating ideas coming

I hear you guys loud and clear! I'm updating the blog with ways you can turn Brian's ideas into ones that suit your dorm room as well.
Whether you have a spacious room and a college that's pretty lenient when it comes to this, or one that's smaller and a bit more strict, the concepts here are applicable. Also, be sure to click on the links at the end of the post. More great ideas in each one!

The chairs definitely weren't $600! Cool, though, that you can get a similar look for nowhere near that cost.
August 12th, 2009

We found an big old wooden wire spool from one of my Dad's construction sites and glued a piece of luan plywood on it. Three coats of polyurethane and we had a nice round table for the center of the room. Thing did't cost $20. That little table saw a lot of use. As far as hanging stuff on the walls – posters held up with blue-tack. My roomate found out that a beer cap would stick into the popcorn ceiling so he went nuts putting designs up there with beer caps. To think there were three of us in a space about the size of my walk-in closet.

Great ideas….I always decorated my dorm while I was in college…actually won 2 years inthe row for best room….I couldn't paint the walls but my room mate (3years straight) would use a variety of tactics- we did hang nails (even though u clndn't) nothing spackle doesn't fix at the end of the year. We had a loft and lighting….we even had pets…rabbits and hamsters (no these also were not allowed)..but who followed rules in school…lol…Underneath our beds we made took regular throw pillows- some found at home and thrift stores and made cozy spots to chill…we did have a couch and desks…but who used desks anyway…they were to hold onto our other no suppose to have items such as a hot plate….Our goal was to hava an environment where we felt at home…plus be able to get our work done….why not…all the stress you can go thru in college…you need to come home to place of your own….I could not imagine keeping my room plain jane all thru the years…. Rana- good light article….

My daughter is at West Georgia and you can't remove any of the furniture, the ceilings arent hig enough to build a true loft. You can bunk the beds but it's tight. Concrete blocks aren't really toe friendly in the middle of the night. You can't paint or really hang much on the walls without doing damage and losing your deposit. Who's going to lay vinyl flooring on top of vinyl flooring? There is no room for a chair for guest. I'm not sure where you would put a dining room table…on top of the bed??? Cube ottomans…I think my daughter has about 12″ of space between the beds when they are pullled out. Lighting…she is a itty bitty desk and an even smaller dresser. We squeezed in a task lamp and that's it. I don't think we even had space in the power strips for designer lamps after the laptop, printer, task lamp, cordless phone, hair dryer, phone charger, iron and whatever else is needed. Tray tables were a neat idea but who eats in their dorm room like that? Don't skimp on the comforter but you found one for $29.99..who wrote this article? Most of the dorm rooms don't have closet doors so you can't hang anything over the door. The main door is shared and who wants to look at anyones shoes the whole year? I think the throw pillows are a good idea but nothing new. These ideas aren't even suitable for a student in an off campus apartment. The paint should have been the first sign of trouble from this designer. What a moron. He really missed the mark on this.

This article made me wish I was 35 years younger and able to go back to college. I'd certainly do some things differently, like have more fun. I was Ms. Studious and Ms. Church-girl. I also was broke (poor family), so all this "stuff" looks great. My experience was a bare-bones dorm room. My conduct paid off; I have money now. But a few months of fun college living would be good. I like academic settings.

Nice…but totally unrealistic with the parameters the students have to work with. And even if you are allowed to paint walls, who wants to repaint walls at the end of their college year. They hardly want to clean their dorms like they are suppose to.

When it comes to using colour i would go for warm light colours
i mean doesn't everyone want warm light airy room?
also if the place is a bit chilly use a sausage dog on the door and try to seal around windows and doors with a sealant that is paint able like a decorators caulk which is flexible for round the doors it also looks better rather than looking at cracks along the skirting boards you have smooth edges
tips Thanks for sharing
i like the idea about placing blocks to make the bed higher as im not the biggest fan of those really low bed they can be a pain getting up in the morning.

I walked into my master closet the other day and took a look at the rows and rows of photo albums resting neatly on the shelves. Some of them are recent ones and some have been their since my marriage. I walked out into my apartment and examined those bare walls. I felt a pang of guilt.
I walked back into my closet and took one album off the shelf. All those years of my children growing up, if I had displayed those shining faces, what a difference it would have made in our lives. I stood there flipping through the pages, wiping away many a tear, lost in years back. After a while, having lost the sense of time, I closed the books and made my resolution. My children had grown up, they were teenagers now, but they were still young teens. As the old adage goes, I would not cry over spilled milk, but I would do something to correct that now.
Trying to come up with home décor ideas, I flipped open my laptop and did a search on home décor online stores and came upon a home décor store DecorativeGifts.net. As I scrolled through the variety of frames available, I found one or more suited for each one of the rooms in my house. Wow! What a nice selection! These home décor gifts would definitely thrill my daughter, I figured. I reviewed the photos that I would display, and carefully made my order.
It took just 3 days and my order was at the door. I slipped the portrait into the frame I had picked for my daughter, placed the beautifully wrapped gift in her room, and waited for her to come home from school. I spent the rest of the morning picking out snapshots for the other frames.
You should have seen my daughter's joy when she saw that gift. After a bear hug, she slowly took the frame out of the box and together we figured out where to hang it in her room- right above her bed. What a difference it made- to my daughter and to her room!
Afterwards, I showed her what else I had purchased and we went from room to room, working our way through the house together. The joyous faces and fun filled memories, truly transformed my home!

Back in 1994 I began listening to a local college radio station in New York City WKCR 89.9FM on Thursday nights from 1am to 5am. It became my Mecca every single Thursday no matter where I was or what I was doing I made it a point to head home, line up enough cassettes to record the entire show. These guys were the pioneers of hip hop radio. Tons of special guests came through to bless the mic Natural Elements, Nas, Wu-tang Clan, Big L, Kool G. Rap, Biggie the list goes on. They catered to underground hip hop community. Gave us exclusive never heard before tracks. They played DEMOS on the air. Son they play shit literally a year before major so called hip hop radios stations added it to there rotation, if that…… Just the other day I was thinking about how easy passing music off to one another has become so common that you don't realize it. I mean on the reals think about it you can email entire albums to your peoples without leaving your of crib. And do so in less then 10 minutes. You lose that connection, that bond for the music. For example if ya man's had a Bobbito & Stretch tape and you wanted a copy he or she had to actually sit there and record it from one cassette to another, which means if the tape was an hour long guess what? It took an hour to record it, not to mention you had to troop to his or her crib and back to obtain your physical copy. And let's not forget how exclusive it was, you didn't just share it with anyone. You guarded that tape like a precious jewel. So today I decided to share with the world, feed your soul, remind you what hip hop is. Below are a few recorded sessions from the Bobbito and Stretch show. FYI to keep in the spirit of tape decks these downloads are one track files. Ya'll gonna have to listen to it in your mp3 players like a walkman straight from the motherfuckin' cassette!! ENJOY

Layer Cake - Puglia - Italy
Italy's beautiful southern wine region of Puglia is a fascinating place for fans of Italian wines. Situated in the very 'heel' of the country, sticking down into the Mediterranean sea, one can hardly imagine a more perfect place for viticulture. Rich, fertile volcanic soils help the grapes take on real character and stunning flavours, and the blazing sunshine of the long summers allows them to reach exceptional levels of ripeness. The wines of Puglia are a great example of how certain Italian regions are throwing off the poor reputations of yesteryear, and using their traditional techniques and methods to create characterful wines, packed full of unique flavours. Puglian wines are renowned for their large, powerful and boisterous characters, and their excellent structure which supports their strong and unique fruit flavours.
There are few countries in the world with a viticultural history as long or as illustrious as that claimed by Italy. Grapes were first being grown and cultivated on Italian soil several thousand years ago by the Greeks and the Pheonicians, who named Italy 'Oenotria' the land of wines so impressed were they with the climate and the suitability of the soil for wine production. Of course, it was the rise of the Roman Empire which had the most lasting influence on wine production in Italy, and their influence can still be felt today, as much of the riches of the empire came about through their enthusiasm for producing wines and exporting it to neighbouring countries. Since those times, a vast amount of Italian land has remained primarily for vine cultivation, and thousands of wineries can be found throughout the entire length and breadth of this beautiful country, drenched in Mediterranean sunshine and benefiting from the excellent fertile soils found there. Italy remains very much a 'land of wines', and one could not imagine this country, its landscape and culture, without it.

...Apparently, before the Ballard locks were built Lake Washington was about 10 feet higher, bringing the edge of the lake up to the Burke Gilman bike trail (formerly a bed for train tracks) that runs along the edge of the grounds, and explaining the dock like decks accompanying each unit. Paths between the cottages have been landscaped in Japanese temple style, complete with stone lanterns, torii gates, pebble gardens and stone walkways. The bamboo effectively blocks most sound and sights from outside the grove�you would never know that University of Washington�s Greek Row is right behind us.
My style: Eclectic, California modern
The inspiration for my home: The architecture of the house itself.
Favorite element: The skylights and bamboo outside.
Biggest challenge in designing my home: There is not a single closed cabinet. My every possession is exposed for the world to see.
What friends say about my home: "This has got to be the coolest apartment in Seattle."
Biggest embarrassment in my home: The hardwood floors always look dirty, especially in the kitchen.
Proudest DIY: The shoe storage in my front entryway. The plastic containers are from Ikea.
Biggest indulgence with respect to my home: The couch, but now I can't wait to replace it because the leather overshadows my much cooler leather chairs.
Best advice given or received: To get rid of things. There is nearly nothing in my place that I don't use on a daily basis.
Dream source for stuff: DWR!
Resources: Antique stores, West Elm, yard sales and Ikea.
Thanks, Danielle & Josh!

Idyllic! Thanks for letting us see this! I want to live there right now, please!
My dream house -- quirky, small, and in Seattle.
Cool place!
I like how you have furnished it and it looks homey and comfortable, but with a modern sensibility to it.
And to think you are not too far from Greek row in such a place surprises me, but then again, Seattle is full of these fun little places all over if you look hard enough for them.
I love it. Very homey. I really like the large framed picture in the living room.
Where did you get the flower light in your bedroom? It's fantastic!
love it! small, cool, quirky. love that you've done so well with all the open shelving... a challenge, i'm sure. to live in a thicket of bamboo would be so lovely, but alas i'm in brooklyn, which has it's own loveliness :)
It's beautiful. I imagine there is quite a nice neighborhood feel to the cottages. It has to bring out the best in people to live in such idyllic digs.
Wow....I love the feel of this place!!!
where did you get the b&w pillows on your chairs? love them!
The Ikea haters should study this place. The products have been used beautifully, I think - mixed in with vintage and higher-end stuff, and solving real problems.
What a cozy place... just love it. Yes, please do tell where
you got the light branchy lamp in the bedroom.
I love this space...how could anyone not be happy living here? I think if I lived here I would never want to leave.
I really like that the space isn't overly 'done'. People with stuff actually live here and do a stylish job of it. I would kill for all that bamboo outside the bedroom window, the patio and the beautiful light. Thanks!
I love your home (and rooting for you Seattle girls!), and totally agree with the Ikea done right comment. Where's your favorite place to shop for the home in Seattle?
I thought the comments were supposed to be about writing style.
Gorgeous. My fantasy home, I think.
Thanks everyone for the kind comments! Given the nature of the try-outs, I was trying to stay out of the commenting. But since there have been a couple of specific questions, I'm more than happy to take the opportunity to answer them.
The flower light: this was a gift from Josh's mom, and she tells me she got them from a gift shop on second avenue, between James and Cherry. Urban Outfitters seems to be the only U.S.-based online retailer, but they're out of stock:
Graham and Green appears to have the branches in stock, but they're U.K. based:
The pillows: these are Thomas Paul from Velocity Art and Design, whose retail outlet is steps from my office but has a fabulous and well-known web store: http://www.velocityartanddesign.com/textiles.html
Favorite place to shop: Collective, a vintage-modern store in the Ballard neighborhood, is a fantastic source: . Other than that, the antique mall circuit is well-frequented by me.
Thanks again!
Wow, that wasn't supposed to come out all bolded. Sorry folks.
Wow that yard is awesome. It's pretty much exactly how I'd like my yard to look... but man the weeds are making things difficult! :D
I bet that skylight is super nice to have during the winter :)

Not a Laurel Valley Race Report
It's hard to believe I've run this race four (4) times now
In 2007, it took me 12:14 (as a sweep, but I still couldn't have run it any faster).
In 2008, 8:42 and 21st place overall.
In 2009, 8:11 and 13th place overall.
And this year 2010, 7:40 and 5th place overall.
Interestingly, in both 2009 and 2010, I shaved exactly 31 minutes off the previous year's time.
If I can keep this up, by 2012 I can go sub-7 at this beast.
As hard as Laurel Valley is, I can't even imagine that…
On a quest to become a better, faster, stronger running athlete
I say "running athlete" because I'm not "just a runner."
I feel like I came to the ultra world sorta back-ass-wards.
Because I was exposed to ultramarathons via Dean Karnazes' book, UltramarathonMan, I started running with the ultimate goal of running a really long way. It just came at a time in my life when I could identify with the same frustrations that ultimately brought the author back to running, and I wanted to change my life in many of the same ways he changed his.
But Dean had been a runner before, and was returning to the sport – I think I forgot that I was just a fat ass behind a computer who had never been a runner to begin with.
Smelling the roses
When I first started running, and eventually participating in ultramarathons, I accepted the fact that I was fat and slow, AND not exactly getting younger. I fell into the mindset of running ultras for the camaraderie and the "day in the woods."
At first, I didn't care about times, I was just in a total honeymoon phase with distance running and all the cool new people I was meeting.
I ran my first marathon in way over 5.5 hours. By the time I got there, the race officials were tearing down the scaffolding and my wife and step'fella were the only people left still milling around.
Dead last in my age group.
But I was happy.
I then ran the SweetH20 50K, a challenging 31-mile race in west Georgia, six months after the marathon and it took me well over eight (8) hours to do that, as well.
I was slow, but I was happy.
"Plenty of people run ultras with a purpose" — Gary Cantrell
Then today, I read the above statement on an ultrarunning email list and it's an attitude that has resonated with me for some time now.
Somewhere in the middle of all this running, something changed.
I started to lose weight.
I started to become stronger, healthier, and fitter.
By 2008, a full year as a runner had passed, and I found myself attempting the same races for a second time; but this time, I really wanted to do better than before. In races under 100-miles, it was no longer acceptable to me to say, "my goal is to finish."
And if I did, it was a lie, because in my heart I really wanted to do better than the last time I ran the same course.
All brawn, no brains
Problem was (and still is, really) I had all these goals of improving, but no plan. I wanted to get faster and move up from the back of the pack, but I had absolutely no idea how.
I wasn't really a runner. At least, not a knowledgeable nor experienced one.
It wasn't (isn't) for lack of information, advice or experienced guidance. I had that all around me then, …and especially now.
It's simply a lack of being mature enough to listen and to put the good advice to practice.
I once scored a phenomenal score on some kind of Coast Guard military entrance exam when I lived in Hawaii. I had no idea what I was doing, but I had just graduated from college, moved out there to surf, and admired the Hell out of an older surfing buddy in Waikiki that was in the Coast Guard and got to surf every morning, go to the Coast Guard base for the work day, and then surf all night. He even got to travel to Somoa a bunch – and surf there, too!
Sounded perfect.
But, when I told my grandfather, who knows me better than anyone else on the planet, that I killed the test and would be accepted in the Coast Guard as some kind of officer dude, he didn't say anything at first. I thought he'd be so stoked since he was this kick-ass fighter pilot flying P-51 Mustangs all over Asia in WWII, but instead he just cautioned me over and over to reconsider… …saying that I was "not good at being told what to do" and that "bucking people in the service is no joke" and "I would need to learn to listen more and talk less."
It scared me away from the gig, and I took the job as a fine dining waiter at the Prince Kuhio Hotel instead, walking around Waikiki with sandy feet, ass-cracked baggy shorts, still immature and still just surfing all day.
My grandad was right.
For better or worse, I'm a "do it my way" kinda dude.
Back to basics
Then, one day it just sort of dawned on me.
To be a better runner, …I need to be better at running.
My first move was to gain a better understanding of running mechanics and what kind of running was most efficient for me. I took POSE classes, CrossFit Endurance training (which teaches POSE), and migrated to a more minimalist shoe.
Right or wrong, it just makes sense to me that minimalism makes a stronger foot, with stronger support muscles, equating to better performance and less injury overall.
I then began to strengthen my core and continue to focus on not-so-much just general weight loss, but weight "redistribution." And I continue to work on this today, …and will most likely continue into the future for a very long time. Body weight is an issue for me.
All the while, I continued participating in events, and started to improve, but still felt like something was still missing…
Then along comes speed work
And boy do I love me some speed work.
Remember the whole "back-ass-wards" thing above? Well, It was becoming clear to me that I should have probably started running 5Ks, 10Ks and half-marathons before diving right into marathons and ultramarathons.
I had trained myself to go long, but not without significant suffering and a serious lack of speed.
So I set some goals to become a stronger runner at shorter distances. I believe that if I can get faster at 5Ks and 10Ks, and half-marathons and marathons, this increase in speed will produce a stronger runner, capable of further improving in ultramarathons (or any other athletic endeavor)
Since 2009, I've brought my 10K down from 51 minutes, to 47 …then 47 to 45 …then 45-43, before finally hitting a 41:47 at the end of the year and qualifying for a sub-seeded spot in the Peachtree Road Race.
In the 5K, I brought my times down from 27 minutes to 19:44, also, all in one year.
For long-time runners, 41:47 and 19:44 is most likely pretty slow; but for a dude who put in the work and transformed himself from a sloth, to a sub-seeded athlete, it was truly a feeling of real honest to goodness accomplishment.
I now have goals of becoming a top-seed in the Peachtree Road Race. It requires shaving another 3:47 off the 10K (sub-38) and another 1:24 (sub-18:20) off the 5K, but I am 100% convinced that I will get there because I believe it, want it, will train for it, and most of all love every second of the intense training.
Good boy, but what does this have to do with Laurel Valley?
Oh snap, I went on a crazy tangent and forgot I was writing an LV report.
Naw, the reason for all that rah-rah above is to illustrate my belief that the best thing I could have ever done for my running was to go back to basics and work from the bottom up. Build a better foundation. Try to become a stronger, more knowledgeable and aware runner.
Because when I hit that humid, root-covered trail at Rocky Bottom at 6:00 a.m. Saturday morning, I felt ready.
I don't think I have ever been as focused for an ultra as I was for Laurel Valley. I didn't fear the distance, nor the lack of support, and I hit that trail with a new found sense of who I was as a runner.
I suppose I should have gone on about the beauty of the course, the awesome RD, the great time I had running with some of my ultra heroes and friends; but, that's not how it came out today.
Still have a lot to learn
I know I'm not the most humble man, but I speak how I think and how I feel and what consumes my focus at the time. I'm ADHD, so it might be different by the time I hit 'send', but I'm really really happy right now.
I'm happy with the sport.
I'm happy running faster …both short and long.
I'm happy with my training and my progress and freedom to run events whenever I want to.
I'm happy with the people who I have around me and who support me and who push me …and who also tell me when I'm going a little crazy.
'cuz I am a little crazy.
Rock on runners …and otherwise. That's my LV report this year.

[...] previous post from my proud run at Laurel Valley illustrated how I had come to the sport backwards, never having had a real introduction to speed, [...]
Good seeing you down there my man. And great job this year. I have sstarted training for "fast" stuff in the early part of the year (10K, 1/2 marathon, etc.) It hel;ps lay the groundwork for the longer events to come. I agree that it has made me a stronger runner and is fun to mix up the training. I'll touch base when I am down your way.
Inspiring! I'm also a slow runner with a +4hr marathon time and I'd love to believe that I can make some real improvements. Adding endurance seems to require work & perseverance but it comes steadily but speed…? My hat's off to anyone that can make the changes you have, I know it didn't come easy.
This is some of the same stuff I have had bouncing around in my head. I went straight from 5k to 50k in 6 months, and I have had the excuse of, "it me against the course".
Great article, and congrats on a great race.
>> "Not to mention, you're just getting really, really damn fast."
@Lauren: thank you for saying that. With all the work I'm putting in, coupled with my love for the sport, I can't begin to tell you how good that makes me feel.
From the peanut gallery…
It's refreshing (and necessary) to get back to the pure, lovely basics of running – how we should do it and why we should love it.
Just a thought – 19:44 and 41:47 may not sound great for those who are "long time runners." OR it may sound amazing. I've been running for 18 years (granted, I was 10 and stupid when I started) and still can't come close to those numbers. Some of us aren't born with all-star talent, but just a work ethic and passion for running. This is what you have, and what you remind me to be thankful for in my own running.
Not to mention, you're just getting really, really damn fast.
Thanks Jamie: that's the goal. Share experiences as honestly as possible and see what can happen. Rock on brutha'
Great post and congrats on the awesome finish! I've been reading your blog for a while and I've come away from this post with a bit more pep in my step…
Well written for a non-race report. As previous commenter said, I can also identify and take some inspiration from some of these points.
@Jason D. — thanks for the advice. Yeah, I screwed hydration up pretty bad at States. I'll be more careful this go'round.
Great not-a-race-report, thanks! Very inspiring.
Noticed you're heading back to Cali to run the Rio Del Lago next month. Best of luck! I'll be running the same Auburn/K-2/Cool portion of that for my first 50k in October.
Not that you need advice, but as someone who lives in Northern California just wanted to warn you they are not exaggerating when they talk about possible hydration issues in September. Mid-September might be almost Fall in some places, but it's very often mid-Summer hot here. I know the heat/hydration was a factor for you in the Western States, so just wanted to make sure you were ready for more of the same kind of fun.
I enjoyed this "not quite a report" report. Since I'm a runner who struggles with weight, your successes are an inspiration to me. You've definitely come a long way and you worked hard for every step. Congrats on the top 5!

1. What makes a successful physician assistant student candidate?
A minimally qualified candidate will have an academic background with a GPA of 3.2. Stronger candidates will have a higher GPA (with an emphasis on most recent coursework). All candidates will have a history of community service, extracurricular activities, exposure to health-care and knowledge of the PA profession. Competitive candidates will have documented PA shadowing experience.
2. How much clinical experience is required?
There are no set parameters for this. Although no clinical experience is required, it does show that you have been exposed to the medical field. The students in the Class of 2014 varied drastically. Some that were selected had no experience, while others had over 10 years of clinical experience.
3. How does my GPA impact the selection process?
It is important because we believe it is an objective demonstration of the applicant's ability to perform academically. For the 2014-2015 admission cycle, the qualifying GPA is calculated on the required prerequisite grades. Applicants should be aware that all academic performance reported to CASPA will be reviewed and considered as a part of the evaluation process. Applicants should realize their entire academic transcript is reviewed.
For the 2015-2016 admission cycle, we will utilize the GPA as calculated by CASPA. Therefore, your GPA used for application screening will be calculated based on the courses you have completed at the time you complete your CASPA application. Prerequisite course completion and overall GPA will be confirmed prior to matriculation.
4. How many candidates will be selected for the class beginning June 2013?
Out of over 1000 applications, approximately 180-200 students will be interviewed and 60 students will be selected.
5. How soon after the interviews will I be notified of my acceptance status?
TTUHSC PA Program offers a "rolling" interview process. Some applicants will be notified of their acceptance within a week of their interview, and others will be notified of their acceptance or non-selection after all interviews have taken place (currently scheduled for March).
6. Is there a fee for "guaranteeing" my position in the program?
Yes, there is a $100, non-refundable placement guarantee fee.
7. Why is the Texas Tech University HSC program in Midland instead of Lubbock?
At the time the TTUHSC PA program was conceived there was no PA program in West Texas, a critically underserved health-care area. The closest program was in Fort Worth. Political leaders favored the establishment of a program in West Texas. The legislature and the Midland community were successful in securing significant financial and logistical support for the program.
8. What is the relationship between faculty and students like?
The faculty is very accessible and is concerned with the welfare and success of each student.
9. How is the camaraderie between classmates?
This is totally up to the class itself. It helps to become involved in community projects and to take a proactive role in the things affecting your class, program, and profession as a whole.
10. Where will I do my clinical rotations?
Clinical sites are currently established in the El Paso, Lubbock, Amarillo, San Angelo, Temple, Abilene, and Midland/Odessa areas. No rotation region is confined to one city and all will require some travel. Most will require moving from the Midland area.
11. How does the program decide which student will go to which clinical site?
Although personal preferences are considered, the needs of the program and clinical site availability are also considered.
12. Will I be able to work while attending this program?
The program strongly recommends that students do not work. The demands placed on you by the coursework alone will require great amounts of time and energy.
13. Will I be able to maintain a high GPA throughout this program?
This is up to the individual student but is an attainable goal if the student is willing to put forth the effort.
14. What is the board pass rate for the TTUHSC PA program?
The five year first-time pass rate is 95%.
15. Will the program assist graduates in finding jobs?
While the program makes no placement efforts, faculty and staff are often notified of employment opportunities. Every attempt is made to disseminate this information to current students as well as alumni. Most students are offered positions prior to completion of the program.
16. Is the program currently accredited?
Yes, the TTUHSC PA Program is accredited - status probation, through the Accreditation Review Commission on Education for the Physician Assistant through March, 2015.

Great game!
Just as a caveat, I usually hate platformers, but I'll try them anyway. This is one of the few that I really liked. Usually the issue is that platformers don't give you enough to do other than just jump, jump, jump, and occasionally shoot.
By giving the character a lot to do (what you're referring to as the brawler hybrid), it really makes the game! On top of that, there's the great level design, truly different stages, and interesting enemy types.
Best game I've played in a long time =) Good job!
My only suggestion (more like a wish) would be some different ways for opponents to die, which could show off your sense of humor, and add a little bit to the user experience. Other than that, great game!

This should be an amazing game.. Graphic,music,story plot are ok but.. oh,the gameplay is terrible. The spell system is not adeguate but the more awful thing happen when u need to jump(so it happen often as u know): the main character move very inaccurately! If u can just fix this point, this game can enter in the collection on NG. However, is a good one! sayonara

At the halfway point of the series, India and Australia find themselves in unrecognisable situations. India are going to field an opener in place of Virender Sehwag, but aren't sweating. Australia, with a series to save, have chosen to bench four players of whom at least three would have played in Mohali.
Shikhar Dhawan, the opener who will replace Sehwag who has been dropped after India went 2-0 up in the series, said the team had steered clear of the Australian turmoil and was approaching the third Test like they had the start of the series. "The confidence of the team is high but as our coach told us, we have to start afresh," he said. "We had a break after the second Test, so we want to go with the same attitude and same energy on the field as we did before the start of the series."
Dhawan said the Indians "don't know" what was happening with the Australians, but he was well aware that James Pattinson, their bowler of the series so far, won't be playing. Dhawan said he expected the vacancy to be filled efficiently. "Their fast bowlers have always been good," he said. "Even if there is no Pattinson, there will be someone who can step up for them. Pace has always been their strength. We have to play good cricket irrespective of what kind of attack we are up against." Read more

Buzz Cut:
• The fix is in: Dems push ObamaCare remedies
• Jeb tweaks base, says GOP needs 'bigger vision'
• Bubba leans right, calls for spending control, compromise
• Brown to declare candidacy Thursday
• The biggest election ever
Conservatives are fuming over a House-passed fix that mitigates some of ObamaCare's damage to small businesses. It's not just that the change is a reversal of the GOP stance that the law is beyond repair, but also that it was quietly tacked on to an irregular, unannounced March 27 voice vote on the annual delay of Clinton-era Medicare cuts. [Good luck passing the House budget plan now, by the way.] The ObamaCare change, which came at the behest of business groups struggling with ObamaCare implementation, isn't controversial itself, but Democrats are crowing that they have finally broken the GOP blockade. Embattled Democrats are desperate to show that they are working to repair the struggling law, and say this is the moment they can begin to start shifting the ObamaCare debate. The strategy, outlined for Politico, is to show Democrats at work on pernicious but peripheral problems with the law. The goal is to protect the Democratic majority in the Senate and thereby the law itself.
[The Hill looks at the move by embattled Democrats like Sen. Mark Pryor, D-Ark., and Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., to block ObamaCare hikes to rates for the popular Medicare Advantage program amid further alienation from older voters for their party.]
Reid takes a (little) risk - The strategy of seeming to mend ObamaCare from Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and his team is a perilous one. As angry as conservative Republicans are at the sneaky tactic of tucking the fix into the bill, if it is the start of Reid & Co. allowing ObamaCare legislation through a years-long blockade, GOPers could stand to benefit. Democratic divisions have not much been on display because Reid allows so little activity in the Senate, but they are real and are likely to get worse as the pressure of midterms takes its toll and as the party braces for a return to its '90s-era partnership with Wall Street.
[Er… - "The Congress of the United States, which wrote [ObamaCare], the members which are proud of what they have done are happy to not run away from what we have done, very proud of what we have accomplished." – House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi in an interview with CNN.]
